Veteran actor Anupam Kher is set to essay the role of revolutionary leader J.P. Narayan in Kangana Ranaut's directorial venture Emergency.
Written and directed by Ranaut, the film is billed as the story of a watershed moment in the political history of India. She also features in the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in the movie.
Ranaut said she feels privileged to have the veteran actor on board.
"J.P. Narayan was the most powerful human being to have happened after Mahatma Gandhi in politics in recent Indian history. The kind of influence he had on people was enormous.
"I wanted an actor who had the personality and calibre to match up to that larger than life persona of Lok Neta, J.P. Narayan. Anupam ji with his stature, his acting skills, his overall persona fit into the role perfectly," the actor-director said in a statement on Friday.
Kher said he was fascinated by Ranaut's interpretation of Narayan.
"Kangana's interpretation of J.P. Narayan is fascinating. She believes and it's also the truth that J.P. Narayan is a hero of the film not just because I am playing the character. Her treatment of the character is like that of a hero," the 67-year-old actor said.
The makers also unveiled the poster of Kher as Narayan, an activist, socialist, theorist and politician, who was also honoured with the Bharat Ratna posthumously in 1999, in recognition of his social service.
Ritesh Shah of Pink fame has penned the screenplay and dialogues of Emergency, which went on floors last week.
A Manikarnika Films presentation, the film is produced by Renu Pitti and R.

In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn the federal right to abortion, things are more than a little confused.
As lower courts grapple with rapidly changing state laws, patients wonder from day to day if abortion is still legal, and even if legal, whether it is still available in their states. Health professionals in states with abortion bans fear prosecution by state authorities for performing abortions or by federal authorities for not performing them in life- or health-threatening situations.
Even employers are caught between conflicting state and federal rules about what can, cannot, and must be covered by insurance.
But amid all the confusion, there are some things that are simply not true. Here are three myths going around about the abortion debate:
MYTH 1: Only people seeking abortions are affected by the Supreme Court's action.
The huge changes and uncertainties wrought by the Supreme Court's erasure of 49 years of largely settled federal policy most directly affect pregnant women. But they are far from the only people whose medical care is being disrupted.
As abortion providers pack up and leave states with bans, they may take with them expertise in managing high-risk pregnancies as well as routine deliveries, particularly in less-populated areas, plus access to long-acting birth control and screening and treatment for cancer and sexually transmitted diseases.
Similarly, medical students and medical residents may not want to train in states where they can't learn abortion techniques, which are often the same as care for miscarriages. That could lead to shortages of people trained to help patients give birth safely just as more people are being forced to carry pregnancies to term.
Also affected, at this point as much by accident as intent, is birth control. In Missouri, a hospital system temporarily stopped distributing the "morning after" birth control pill, which is a contraceptive that does not cause abortion, before reversing the decision.
That is its own sub-myth — that the Plan B morning-after pill is the same as the abortion pill mifepristone. Plan B is a high dose of regular birth control that prevents ovulation but does not interrupt an existing pregnancy. Mifepristone ends a pregnancy if used in approximately the first 10 weeks.
And it's not just pregnant women who are affected by the uncertainty. People with severe psoriasis, lupus and other autoimmune disorders are already reporting difficulty obtaining methotrexate, a first-line medication for those ailments that can also be used as an abortion medication.
MYTH 2: The Democratic Congress could have codified abortion protections long before now, but chose not to.
The House on July 15 voted — for the second time by this Congress — for a bill that would effectively codify the federal abortion protections of the 1973 Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade. Ever since the court overturned that decision last month, Democrats on social media and elsewhere have complained that this is a bill Congress should have passed years ago, when the Democrats had firmer control of the House, the Senate and the White House.
But even though Democrats had bigger majorities in Congress under Democratic Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, large numbers of anti-abortion Democrats in both chambers effectively meant there was not a majority for such legislation, much less the 60-vote supermajority that would have been required in the Senate.
It was not, contrary to some revisionist historians' views, for lack of trying. In 1992, Democratic leaders promised to bring the "Freedom of Choice" act to the floor, a bill that would have written the right to abortion into federal law, if only to embarrass then-President George H.W. Bush right before the GOP convention. (Here is a very old clip of me explaining the situation on C-SPAN.) In the end the bill did not make it to the floor of either the House or the Senate, as Democratic leaders could not muster the votes.
In fact, since the Roe ruling, the House has been more anti-abortion than the Senate, in part because so many Democrats from Southern and/or conservative districts opposed abortion (most have now been replaced by Republicans), and because the Senate has long had at least a handful of Republicans who support abortion rights. Today that is limited to Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska). The House got its first abortion-rights majority only in 2019, when Donald Trump was president.
MYTH 3: Congress could simply eliminate statutory abortion restrictions now.
With Democrats in charge of both Congress and the White House, they can just change the existing laws limiting abortion, advocates claim. Indeed, President Joe Biden's budgets in 2021 and 2022 proposed eliminating the so-called Hyde Amendment, named for its sponsor, the anti-abortion crusading Rep. Henry Hyde (R-Ill.), which has barred most federal abortion funding since the late 1970s. But while the House voted in 2021 for the funding bill for the Department of Health and Human Services without the abortion rider for the first time in decades, Senate Republicans forced the restrictions back into the final measure. The same is expected later this year. Democrats hold only 50 seats in the Senate and need at least 10 Republicans on any bill that is threatened with a filibuster.
The Hyde Amendment could also keep the federal government from allowing abortion clinics to operate on federal land, as many progressives have been calling for. But other, more complicated federal-state issues would more likely doom that scenario.
Complicating things still more, the Hyde language in the HHS spending bill is far from the only abortion restriction embedded in federal law. While abortion-rights backers have successfully fought off most efforts to make such restrictions permanent, various other spending bills annually include limits on abortion in the military, in federal prisons, by the Indian Health Service, and as an insurance benefit for federal workers. Congress has also limited the ability of the District of Columbia to spend local tax dollars on abortion.
It is possible the reversal of Roe could lead to the reversal of some of these restrictions. But with Democrats' paper-thin majority in the Senate, it's not likely, at least not in 2022.

The spread of monkeypox in the US could represent the dawn of a new sexually transmitted disease, though some health officials say the virus that causes pimple-like bumps might yet be contained before it gets firmly established.
Experts don't agree on the likely path of the disease, with some fearing that it is becoming so widespread that it is on the verge of becoming an entrenched STD like gonorrhea, herpes and HIV.
But no one's really sure, and some say testing and vaccines can still stop the outbreak from taking root.
So far, more than 2,400 U.S. cases have been reported as part of an international outbreak that emerged two months ago.
Health officials are not sure how fast the virus has spread. They have only limited information about people who have been diagnosed, and they don't know how many infected people might be spreading it unknowingly.
They also don't know how well vaccines and treatments are working. One impediment: Federal health officials do not have the authority to collect and connect data on who has been infected and who has been vaccinated.
With such huge question marks, predictions about how big the U.S. outbreak will get this summer vary widely, from 13,000 to perhaps more than 10 times that number.
Dr Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said the government's response is growing stronger every day and vaccine supplies will soon surge.
I think we still have an opportunity to contain this, Walensky told The Associated Press.
Monkeypox is endemic in parts of Africa, where people have been infected through bites from rodents or small animals. It does not usually spread easily among people.
But this year more than 15,000 cases have been reported in countries that historically don't see the disease. In the U.S. and Europe, the vast majority of infections have happened in men who have sex with men, though health officials have stressed that anyone can catch the virus.
It spreads mainly through skin-to-skin contact, but it can also be transmitted through linens used by someone with monkeypox. Although it's been moving through the population like a sexually transmitted disease, officials have been watching for other types of spread that could expand the outbreak.
Symptoms include fever, body aches, chills, fatigue and the bumps on parts of the body. The illness has been relatively mild in many men, and no one has died in the U.S. But people can be contagious for weeks, and the lesions can be extremely painful.
When monkeypox emerged, there was reason to believe that public health officials could control it.
The tell-tale bumps should have made infections easy to identify. And because the virus spreads through close personal contact, officials thought they could reliably trace its spread by interviewing infected people and asking who they had been intimate with.
It didn't turn out to be that easy.
With monkeypox so rare in the U.S., many infected men and their doctors may have attributed their rashes to some other cause.
Contact tracing was often stymied by infected men who said they did not know the names of all the people they had sex with. Some reported having multiple sexual interactions with strangers.
It didn't help that local health departments, already burdened with COVID-19 and scores of other diseases, now had to find the resources to do intensive contact-tracing work on monkeypox, too.
Indeed, some local health officials have given up expecting much from contact tracing.
There was another reason to be optimistic: The U.S. government already had a vaccine. The two-dose regimen called Jynneos was licensed in the U.S. in 2019 and recommended last year as a tool against monkeypox.
When the outbreak was first identified in May, U.S. officials had only about 2,000 doses available. The government distributed them but limited the shots to people who were identified through public health investigations as being recently exposed to the virus.
Late last month, as more doses became available, the CDC began recommending that shots be offered to those who realize on their own that they could have been infected.
Demand has exceeded supply, with clinics in some cities rapidly running out of vaccine doses and health officials across the country saying said they don't have enough.
That's changing, Walensky said. As of this week, the government has distributed more than 191,000 doses, and it has 160,000 more ready to send. As many as 780,000 doses will become available as early as next week.
Once current demand is satisfied, the government will look at expanding vaccination efforts.
The CDC believes that 1.5 million US men are considered at high risk for the infection.
Testing has also expanded. More than 70,000 people can be tested each week, far more than current demand, Walensky said. The government has also embarked on a campaign to educate doctors and gay and bisexual men about the disease, she added.
Donal Bisanzio, a researcher at RTI International, believes U.S. health officials will be able to contain the outbreak before it becomes endemic.
But he also said that won't be the end of it. New bursts of cases will probably emerge as Americans become infected by people in other countries where monkeypox keeps circulating.
Walensky agrees that such a scenario is likely. If it's not contained all over the world, we are always at risk of having flare-ups from travelers, she said.
Shawn Kiernan, of the Fairfax County Health Department in Virginia, said there is reason to be tentatively optimistic because so far the outbreak is concentrated in one group of people men who have sex with men.
Spread of the virus into heterosexual people would be a "tipping point that may occur before it's widely recognized, said Kiernan, chief of the department's communicable disease section.
Spillover into heterosexuals is just a matter of time, said Dr. Edward Hook III, emeritus professor of infectious diseases at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
If monkeypox becomes an endemic sexually transmitted disease, it will be yet another challenge for health departments and doctors already struggling to keep up with existing STDs.
Such work has long been underfunded and understaffed, and a lot of it was simply put on hold during the pandemic. Kiernan said HIV and syphilis were prioritized, but work on common infections like chlamydia and gonorrhea amounted to counting cases and that's about it.
For years, gonorrhea, chlamydia and syphilis cases have been rising.
By and large," Hook said, doctors "do a crummy job of taking sexual histories, of inquiring about and acknowledging their patients are sexual beings.

BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) — A monitoring rights group says a Russian warplane struck a house on Friday in northwestern Syria near the Turkish border, killing seven civilians, including four children.
Syrian Civil Defense volunteers rushed to the house to remove the bodies under the rubble.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and opposition media outlet Orient TV say the airstrike in Idlib's town of Jisr al-Shoghour was carried out by a Russian warplane following four other Russian airstrikes in a town further north.
The sources of the airstrikes on Idlib could not be independently verified.
The northwestern region of Syria is home to the country's last rebel enclave. The province of Idlib is under the control of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, an al-Qaida-linked group, while northern Aleppo province is under the control of Turkish-backed rebel groups.
More than 90% of the population in that area live in extreme poverty, relying on humanitarian aid to survive.
The Syrian government in Damascus, alongside key ally Russia, frequently launch airstrikes in the area.
Turkey has warned it intends to launch a new military operation targeting the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces in northwestern Syria. Turkey says the Kurdish-led forces pose a security threat and deem them a terrorist group. | https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4603679 | 2022-07-22T10:09:36Z | https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4603679 | true | 13 |

The aim of yoga is to create a spiritual awakening through the union of the body, mind and spirit.
If you are used to attaining this in a controlled environment, such as a studio or your home, you might be accustomed to things like calming music, the perfect air temperature to suit the season, mirrors to see yourself, and possibly a lit candle.
Last year, Amanda Olson, owner of Dragonfly Yoga & Fitness in Pottstown, started offering a series of classes in the spring and fall at Silkie’s Farm, a sustainable alpaca breeding farm, in Chester Springs, Chester County. The owner of the farm, Marcia Silkroski, contacted Olson to teach classes in a pasture with alpacas.
“Alpaca yoga is an anti-anxiety class,” Olson said. “They hum when they are grazing and they are known to be calming and good for anxiety..”
The idea isn’t to touch or pet them during the class but to integrate with them in their grazing atmosphere.
“We feed them hay and they eat around us,” she said. “Afterward, we feed them carrots.”
In addition to the calming noises they make, alpacas are adorable to look at, in addition to being gentle.
“People really like animals,” she said.
Animal craze
While Olson had heard of the animal craze with yoga, such as goat yoga, she was new to alpaca yoga.
“I think we are the first in the area doing it,” she said.
After the class was featured on the Philadelphia-based morning radio show “Preston & Steve”, many in the class came from Philadelphia to partake in the unique experience.
“It ended up being hugely popular,” she said.
Teaching the outdoor class has given Olson an even greater appreciation for rural Pennsylvania.
“We don’t realize how nice it is because we live with it all the time, but when people come from Philadelphia, they say, ‘I feel like I’m on vacation, this is so great’,” she said.
As a teacher of Hatha yoga for the past thirteen years, Olson said she believes that a yoga class should always be an experience.
“For me, Hatha yoga is a different experience and with a farm, it is a whole different experience people have,” she said.
Rustic barn setting
Another local yoga experience you can partake in on a farm is through Zen Den Yoga, based in East Coventry. Tricia Reedy, Zen Den’s owner, began hosting her weekly yoga classes in a rustic barn setting two years ago after COVID-19 caused her former studio to close down.
“I had to find a new location and it ended up being at the Old Home Farm,” Reedy said.
Owned by her friend, the farm is part working farm and there is also a store on the property, Milkhouse Shop, which offers natural soaps and body care products made on site.
“Students really, really love the barn,” she said. “You can smell the soap from the soap shop when you’re there and it’s so peaceful.”
When Reedy used to teach in a brick-and-mortar studio, she was isolated from the natural world. Now, her students have a different experience that incorporates nature into their practice.
“Students really seem to gravitate towards the peacefulness of the barn,” she said. “I like its simplistic and more natural environment.”
Fresh air and natural light
During classes, the doors are usually open to let in fresh air and natural light pour into the space where students can partake in all-levels gentle yoga classes.
“The classes are during the daylight at 6 pm or 9 am, so the natural daylight comes in,” she said. “The flooring is traditional barn flooring.”
A chandelier hangs from the ceiling along with strands of lights and paper lanterns.
“I really fell in love with this space,” she said.
In addition to the natural flooring and walls, Reedy said you can sometimes hear the birds in the rafters, along with other noises that integrate students with nature.
“If it’s raining, you can hear the rain pounding down on the roof and it’s so calming,” she said. “It’s really about the minimalism and the space and tying that into my business model that is more simple.”
Themed classes
In addition to Zen Den Yoga’s weekly classes, they also offer two different themed classes per month that take place on Saturdays.
“We do one on hips and anxiety, one called Fire Up Your Core and we do a Slow Flow Yoga,” she said.
Reedy’s business is donation based, which gives people greater access who might not be able to partake in yoga classes that typically range from $15 to $25 per class. Her aim is to make yoga accessible to people of all incomes and backgrounds.
“It’s not free, but it’s based on what people can afford,” she said. “The minimum donation is $5 a class and the average donation is $10 and some give $20.”.
Both Reedy and Olsen have found that yoga experiences that incorporate nature have many added benefits.
“There is nothing like being in nature and being away from a clock,” Olson said. “When you are out in nature you look at the sky, it’s being in the grass so it’s softer under your feet and you are on the earth with your hands and get to smell the fresh air.”
Uncontrolled atmosphere
However, sometimes there can be drawbacks, typical of an uncontrolled atmosphere.
“You think of it as being much more calming, but it’s not always,” Olson said. “You can have pouring rain or it can be super windy and when it gets buggy that isn’t enjoyable.”
Olson’s brick-and-mortar studio located in Pughtown lends itself to a different experience that she described as overall, more comfortable, given she can control every aspect of her surroundings.
“When I teach inside I use props, oils, music, fans,” she said.
Attending a yoga class outdoors is more unpredictable and includes some unanticipated surprises, such as at Silkie’s Farm in the spring when you might get the rare opportunity to catch the birth of a baby alpaca, as Olson had the pleasure of doing with her students last year. She finds that each season adds a different energy to the class.
“In the spring it’s more of an energizing feeling with everything coming alive and blooming and hatching,” Olson said. “In the fall it’s more calming with everything settling down.”
Regardless of location and instructor, yoga aims to provide students with necessary tools, such as breathing techniques, to better function in the world with less anxiety. Reedy’s hope is that her students are better equipped when they depart from a class.
“I really hope that they leave feeling more at peace and more grounded and able to tackle the busy world we live in,” Reedy said. “In their regular practice, I hope they get stronger and learn their body and how they need to practice.”

Beazley raises profit forecast despite market volatility as Lloyd's of London insurer's cyber business booms
- Beazley specialises in marine, property, data breach and life insurance
- It now expects its combined ratio - a measure of an insurer's profitability - to be between 85 per cent and 90 per cent for 2022
- Shares in the firm were up more than 8.9 per cent early Friday
Lloyd's of London insurer Beazley has raised its full year outlook thanks to an increase in cyber risk premiums.
The revised forecast comes despite a fall in first-half profits, as the result of market volatility impacting its investment portfolio.
Beazley, which specialises in marine, property, data breach and life insurance, said it now expects its combined ratio - a measure of an insurer's profitability - to be between 85 per cent and 90 per cent for 2022, surpassing analysts' forecasts.
Lloyd's of London insurer Beazley has raised its full year outlook thanks to an increase in cyber risk premiums
A level below 100 per cent indicates an underwriting profit and a lower percentage indicates higher earnings.
Beazley shares were up more than 8.9 per cent early Friday off the back of the news.
Beazley reported a first-half pretax profit of £18.4 million, down from £139.7 million the year before, due to hefty losses on its investment portfolio.
The specialist insurer's performance was boosted by cyber premiums, which almost doubled to £395million from £230 million in the first half of 2021.
'Cyber premiums have increased so much because exposures have increased due to the rise of cyber criminality in the last four or five years,' Chief Executive Adrian Cox told Reuters in an interview.
Demand has also risen as more companies see the need for protection from cyber attack, he said, while improvements to Beazley's ability to assess risk means its frequency of losses has reduced.
While the insurer's capital levels have grown as income improved, Cox said Beazley was unlikely to pay special dividends in the near term, believing there would be opportunities to write new business instead.
Beazley separately said on Thursday that Chairman David Roberts will step down from the board in the autumn of 2022 to become chair of the Court of the Bank of England.
Looking ahead, Cox concluded in the firm's half-year report: 'As we reflect on the first half of 2022, no one can be in any doubt that we are in the middle of an uncertain and complex risk environment, where unpredictability is a dominant feature.
'In these circumstances it is our responsibility to do the right thing, supporting our clients to navigate through, offering them relevant insurance protection and capacity, matched by first-rate risk management and loss prevention strategies.
'Beazley will continue to deliver in line with our vision for the remainder of 2022 and beyond and I look forward to reporting a successful set of full year results to you in February 2023 where our current expectation is a combined ratio in the high 80s assuming an average claims experience for the second half of the year.'

The 2009 drama series Trauma depicted the life of a group of paramedics who worked together in San Francisco. The show focused on the personal and professional lives of the paramedics, as they responded to emergencies and tried to save lives. The show was praised for its realistic portrayal of the paramedic profession, and for its complex and interesting characters. However, the show was canceled after one season, due to low ratings. The show struggled to find an audience, and it was ultimately pulled from the schedule after airing just 17 episodes. While the exact reasons for the show’s cancellation are not known, it is likely that NBC simply felt that it was not a good investment to continue airing a low-rated show. Whatever the reason, Trauma is now just a brief footnote in television history. Its cast, however, has done great things since the show’s early cancellation in 2010. If you’ve been wondering what the cast of Trauma has been up to since the show’s demise, read ahead. Here’s an update on the cast members of the canceled-too-soon medical drama Trauma. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2672021808342/barney-will-still-become-a-live-action-movie-in-a-darker-fashion | 2022-07-22T10:22:25Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2672021808342/barney-will-still-become-a-live-action-movie-in-a-darker-fashion | true | 1 |

When Gwendolyn Stulgis was shopping for her wedding dress, the two most important things were the price and the cut.
After trying on different options at a bridal shop, nothing quite struck a chord with her. Just as she was about to leave, the saleswoman asked her to look at one more gown.
"The lady that was helping us had said, 'Well, hold on a second. I think I have something for you,'" Stulgis said.
"It was champagne in color. It had long sleeves, sparkly lace all over it. It had these buttons that literally started down the middle of the back, all the way down into the train, which I absolutely loved. I stood there and kind of got tears in my eyes because it really was the dress that I really wanted."
It was a bit over her budget, but after encouragement from her mother-in-law, Stulgis bought it. And after wearing the dress down the aisle, she decided it deserved a better fate than sitting in her closet collecting dust.
"I couldn't figure out quite how I was going to do it. I ended up putting something on Facebook," she said.
Stulgis was bombarded. She received more than 70 messages, with each future bride describing what receiving the dress would mean to them.
She eventually settled on a woman who lived nearby — but a movement was born. Stulgis got messages from other women who also wanted to donate their dresses, as well as those looking for a dress for their own wedding.
Stulgis created a Facebook group called "Dream Dresses." She estimates that since June, more than 200 dresses have been exchanged, and the impact of the group continues to grow.
Diana Bowman was one of the women who donated her dress through the Facebook group, and said that it gave her an opportunity to help someone else with the stress she had experienced during her dress search.
"For me, it was also a different experience because I'm a plus-sized woman and finding a wedding dress in plus sizes is really, really difficult," she said. "So if I could take that stress away from somebody by passing along a beautiful plus-sized gown, I was like, I have to do it."
Bowman donated her dress on one condition: that it continues to get passed on.
"I hope that this dress gets passed from bride to bride to bride, and it just gets worn out and is in tatters at the end of its life because of all the celebrating that's done in it," she said.

Kalaadevi Ananda has joined the race to become Rotorua's next mayor, promising a "fresh approach" to leading the city she has lived in for 27 years.
The 64-year-old Italian-American mother, originally from New York, is the sixth candidate to announce a bid for the job.
Ananda said she had decided to put her makeup and special effects design career on hold to pursue her vision to lead Rotorua, the city she "loves and is very passionate" about.
She said she was a self-employed businesswoman and entrepreneur who has achieved international success in the film industry over the past 28 years.

Advertise with NZME.This included a Cable Ace Award for her work on the film When a Stranger Calls Back in 1993. She said she had worked with many famous Hollywood actors and directors including actress Susan Sarandon and 12 Years a Slave director Steve McQueen.
Ananda said Rotorua desperately needed rejuvenation after years of disruption to tourism, businesses, schools and people's lives.
"Over the past few years, I have seen how Rotorua has struggled with an increase in crime, safety and gang violence, and homelessness, and we need a better way forward.
"The wonderful people of Rotorua have the solutions to many of these problems and they just need to be given the chance to participate in the democratic process and be given their voice to do so."
She says as mayor, she would inspire and welcome "participatory democracy".
"The answer to local problems is never behind closed doors and people need to have the opportunity to openly debate issues. You have really got to see 360 degrees of something ... to know what all the issues are and find the best solutions.
"We just need to listen to people's views and openly debate these issues."
As to why she wanted to be mayor, rather than a councillor, in spite of her lack of political experience, she said, "we don't have the time".

Advertise with NZME."We don't have three years for a new mayor with a new approach, a fresh approach."
Ananda said her point of difference as a mayoral candidate is that she can offer a new voice, "fresh eyes" and listen to people's views with an "inclusive and open-door" approach to leading the city.
"I have the leadership qualities and experience this city needs, which is not as a career politician but as a true community voice and champion for the communities of Rotorua.
"Having worked alongside leading studio executives and producers, directors and actors and sometimes as many as 25 personal staff, I have learned the art of negotiation, cooperation, creative participation, open democracy and working together in productive partnerships to achieve success.
"This is not about wanting power or a political career, it's about giving the people of Rotorua their voice and bringing people together to participate in revitalising the city and taking it to the next level."
Ananda said in terms of fighting crime and gang violence, she would work alongside police while looking to establish preventative programmes.

Advertise with NZME."I am making this strong declaration as I believe it will take strong enforcement and as well as effective social services actions," she said.
"We need to provide workshops and programmes for those at risk of getting involved in crime and gangs. I would love to see an outbound programme for children from the age of 10, as well as after-school programmes and parenting programmes to help families."
Ananda said homelessness was another priority, as it not only affected people's health and wellbeing but also the safety and reputation of the city.
"We have the land and there are people working on solutions but we just need to bring all these people together sharing ideas and collaborating on creative solutions.
"For instance, I would like to look into how many abandoned houses there are in Rotorua, and whether they can be bought, repaired and leased as temporary housing placements."
Ananda said plenty of other countries had been able to turn their homelessness problems around with creative community-led solutions.
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME."Why can't Rotorua not do the same? This won't happen overnight, but working together we can turn something which is a bit of a mess into a message of hope for other cities across the country.
"Standing for mayor is quite a commitment, but I am hoping my message of strong leadership and a fresh collaborative approach resonates with all the residents and all communities of our wonderful city."
Ananda joins already-confirmed mayoral candidates Raj Kumar, Reynold Macpherson, Fletcher Tabuteau, Tania Tapsell and Ben Sandford.
Mayor Steve Chadwick has said she will not stand for re-election in October.
Note: An earlier version of this article reported that Kalaadevi Ananda had said she had won an Emmy Award. Ananda has since retracted the Emmy claim and accepted responsibility for the mistake and any confusion for calling it that. Ananda said it was a Cable Ace Award she had won. | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/rotorua-daily-post/news/rotorua-mayoral-race-kalaadevi-ananda-promises-fresh-approach/6Z4C3DHUVKNDAXEO5BMEJBM4WI/ | 2022-07-22T10:31:02Z | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/rotorua-daily-post/news/rotorua-mayoral-race-kalaadevi-ananda-promises-fresh-approach/6Z4C3DHUVKNDAXEO5BMEJBM4WI/ | true | 3 |

If you’ve been thinking about getting a new dog then you’re not alone – Kennel Club figures show that the number of people looking for puppies surged by around eight per cent since the start of the global pandemic.
But with 221 different breeds of pedigree dog to choose from, there’s plenty of thinking to do before you select your family’s latest four-legged addition – whether you want a large dog, family-friendly dog, or crossbreed.
There’s even academic guidance to seek out, with Psychologist Stanley Coren’s book ‘The Intelligence of Dogs’ ranking breeds by instincts, obedience, and the ability to adapt.
Different breeds of dog also tend to have very different physical attributes and strengths, including how strong their bite is – a measure that has been studied by scientists.
Of course, this dosn’t necessarily mean that these breeds will be more likely to bite – and individual dogs will vary greatly in strength – just that you need to be extra-careful to train these dogs properly as they have the potential to cause serious harm.
So, here are the breeds that research has shown to have the strongest bites, in pressure per square inch (psi). For reference the average human’s bite is around 162 psi.
For the purposes of this article we are only using breeds recognised by the UK Kennel Club, meaning such breeds as the Cane Corso (700 psi), Dogo Canario (540 psi) and Dogo Argentino (500 psi) are not included.

While there are dedicated equine courses aimed at horse interested people, Silverdale Farm owner/operator Steve Grant, in conjunction with TAFE NSW, has initiated a unique industry program targeting "horsey" school leavers.
The Silverdale Academy Internship Program was established in 2021.
Advertisement
There are plans to expand its education programs for school students (years 11 and 12 with a one-week placement), conduct school bus tours, an intern program for 16 to 25-year-olds, as well as leadership and traineeship programs, and a new horticulture program via Moss Vale TAFE.
Expressions of interest (by mid-August) are now being sought for the next intake.
"I haven't seen a lot of people starting at the grassroots level at schools, educating its leavers on what's out there in Thoroughbred racing and breeding," academy director Mr Grant said.
"Studs are always looking for more staff for varying jobs and at different times."
The Silverdale Academy Intern Program encompasses six weeks of fully-subsidised training. Five weeks are spent learning in the classroom, followed by a week of work experience at Silverdale Farm at Avoca on the Southern Highlands.
Participants sample all aspects of the business, from agistment and spelling horses to yearling preparation, foaling, health and equine behaviour.
The first of its kind in the region, Steve has been instrumental in establishing the program, teaming with Linda Molloy, one of TAFE NSW's equine teachers based at the Moss Vale campus.
With its third intake of students due to sign-up next month, the program falls under TAFE NSW's agribusiness umbrella that covers animal care, equine, horticulture and land conservation. While based in the Southern Highlands, applications are accepted from outside the region.
"The course is a great opportunity for horse interested people, the tuition to lead to employment, and which could develop into a life-long career in any sector of the horse industry," Mr Grant said.
The intern program offers industry bus trips to horse-related businesses and gives interns a chance to meet and talk to industry professionals, for example, trainers Chris Waller, Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott, and Sydney bloodstock agent Andrew Williams.
Silverdale Farm - established in 2017 by Steve Grant and his wife Eliza - has had a momentous year with the emergence of Sydney star galloper Fireburn - winner of the prestigious ATC Golden Slipper Stakes-G1 and Sires Produce Stakes-G1 and a second in the Champagne Stakes-G1.
Fireburn was born on Silverdale Farm, where she spent her formative early months of life until she was weaned. The juvenile - likely to be named champion Australian two-year-old this season - also carries the Grant Bloodstock brand, Steve being one of the three breeders of the horse.
Steve also has close ties with Fireburn's sire Rebel Dane - the breeder also racing the stallion with a partnership which includes Louis Mikalyka's Sydney-based Laurel Oak Bloodstock.
By Danehill's son California Dane, Rebel Dane - a dual Group 1 winner himself - has now found stud fame and continues his career at Widden Stud in the new season.

In Tasmanian news, Kia Ora Stud, Scone, bred stallion Zululand, which stands at Grenville Stud at Whitemore, and was represented with his first winner when Lieutenant Lewis won at Devonport in early July.
Lieutenant Lewis was bred and is trained by Tasmanian Racing Hall Of Famer Barry Campbell at Spreyton, the gelding having his first track appearance. The gelding also carries all Tasmanian breeding being produced from the West Quest Tassie winning mare Vivacious.
Among the vast number of sire sons by champion Australian sire Fastnet Rock, Zululand was a brilliant juvenile when winning the VRC Sires Produce Stakes-G2, followed by a second in the ATC Champagne Stakes-G1. Interestingly, he continued his racing career at Kranji in Singapore, where he finished second in the Singapore Cup-LR for total earnings of $870,000.

School in east Ukraine hit by Russian strike, bodies found
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian emergency workers recovered three bodies from a school hit by a Russian strike in the east of the country, officials said Friday, as attacks continued in several parts of the nation.
The reported casualties follow a barrage Thursday on a densely populated area of Ukraine’s second-largest city, Kharkiv, that killed at least three people and wounded 23 others.
In a rare sign of light, the signing was expected Friday of an accord that would allow Ukraine to resume its shipments of grain across the Black Sea and Russia to export grain and fertilizers.
Beyond that, however, there was no indication of relief from the grinding war. Russia this week has reiterated its plans to seize territories beyond eastern Ukraine, where the Russian military has spent months trying to conquer the Donbas region.
GRAPHIC WARNING: Videos in this story may contain disturbing content.
The Ukrainian president’s office said that in Kramatorsk, in Donetsk province, Russian shelling destroyed a school and damaged 85 residential buildings.
Ukraine’s state emergencies agency said it has completed work at the school, which was hit on Thursday, and found three bodies.
“Russian strikes on schools and hospitals are very painful and reflect its true goal of reducing peaceful cities to ruins,” Donetsk Gov. Pavlo Kyrylenko said in televised remarks, repeating his call on residents to evacuate.
Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Lt. Gen. Igor Konashenkov, however, said that the Russian strike had killed over 300 Ukrainian troops who used the building of School No. 23 in Kramatorsk as their base. He said another strike destroyed a munitions depot in the industrial zone of the southern city of Mykolaiv.
Konashenkov also said that Russian forces destroyed four HIMARS multiple rocket launchers supplied by the U.S. between July 5 and 20. The U.S. said it has supplied 12 HIMARS systems and will deliver four more. The claims could not be independently verified.
The Ukrainian military has used HIMARS, which have a higher range and better precision compared with similar Soviet-era systems in the Russian and Ukrainian inventory, to strike Russian munitions depots and other key targets.
In the Dnipro region of central Ukraine, three schools were destroyed in the latest Russian strikes, Ukrainian authorities said. Seven Russian missiles hit the small town of Apostolove in the Dnipro region, wounding 18 residents.
Regional governor Valentyn Reznichenko decried the “senseless” attack, saying that “there are no military goals behind it and this shelling could only be explained by their desire to keep people on edge and sow panic and fear.”
In other developments Friday:
— The British Defense Ministry said it believes that Russia is experiencing “critical shortages” of dedicated ground-attack missiles and has increased its use of air-defense missiles “in secondary ground attack mode” because of that. It said that Russia has “almost certainly” deployed S-300 and S-400 strategic air defense systems that are designed to shoot down aircraft and missiles at long range, and that there is a “high chance” of them missing their intended targets and causing civilian casualties.

Defoe was 13 weeks pregnant when she and 21-month-old Kevin were beaten and stabbed to death in March 2020 at her home on the Fond du Lac American Indian reservation near Duluth.
In May, a jury convicted Defoe's boyfriend Sheldon Thompson of first-degree murder in the deaths of Defoe, her unborn child, and Kevin. He was sentenced to three consecutive life terms and given no chance for parole for Defoe's and Kevin's murders. Attempts to reach Thompson through his attorney were unsuccessful.
The murders illustrate a persistent American crisis. In 2019, nine out of 10 murdered women were killed by men they knew, according to the Violence Policy Center (VPC), a national think tank. In nearly two-thirds of those cases the women were wives or other intimate partners of the men.
Often, such killings follow years of abuse, which six experts interviewed said raises questions about how police, courts and society at large support women.
In such crimes, attacker and target know one another intimately and may have children and a home together and intertwined finances, making the challenge complex.
"It's cultural. It's religious. It's psychological. It is many layers," said Detective Riasharo Garcenila, who helps coordinate the Los Angeles Police Department's domestic violence response. "It's so difficult to have one answer for a crime that's multi-layered."
The statistics are particularly grim in communities of color. In Minnesota, 9% of all girls and women murdered from 2010 to 2019 were, like Defoe, American Indian, although they make up just 1% of the state's population, according to the Minnesota Task Force on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, created by the state legislature to report to lawmakers on efforts to document, understand and reduce the violence.
In 2019, Black women and girls were murdered at a rate more than twice as high as white women and girls, according to the Washington-based VPC, which bases its figures on FBI data.
US President Joe Biden earlier this year signed a spending bill that included increased funds for housing, legal and other support for domestic violence victims. In June he signed gun reform legislation that seeks to do more to keep guns out of the hands of people convicted of domestic violence.
Three decades have passed since Nicole Sharpe's father shot and killed her mother in their Brooklyn apartment. Sharpe's father, who died in 2012, was convicted in 1993 of manslaughter and served 16 years.
"I don't think in the minds of people that domestic violence has really changed too much" since her mother's death, said Sharpe, 46. "People still are bent on blaming the victim."
Melanie Fields of the national Association of Prosecuting Attorneys Domestic Violence Committee, who is based in East Baton Rouge, Louisiana, said she has found some attitudes have shifted in the 13 years since she helped launch her domestic violence unit.
"When I started this, it was that they (women) weren't believed or they were dismissed by law enforcement and even the community," Fields said. "Overall in our country that has significantly improved."
She said officers in her jurisdiction, for example, have learned that medical evidence shows repeated beatings and choking can make victims sound incoherent.
One persistent challenge facing researchers is determining the problem's scope. Data sets such as the FBI's Supplementary Homicide Reports can be useful, but they leave hard-to-fill gaps when tracking gendered killings, said Associate Professor Alison Marganski, director of criminology at Le Moyne College in Syracuse.
The picture is mixed on fears that recent pandemic lockdowns exacerbated domestic violence. James Alan Fox, a Northeastern University professor of criminology, law and public policy, analyzed FBI data and found homicides in family settings rose 26% in 2020 over the previous year.
But a January paper published by the nonpartisan National Bureau of Economic Research that studied records from 17 large urban police departments found no statistically significant difference in intimate partner homicide rates before and during the pandemic.
Detective Marie Sadanaga, a colleague of Garcenila, said LA legal aid groups found that people struggled to apply for restraining orders when COVID closed courts. The LAPD responded by creating a guide for navigating virtual court that was distributed by patrol officers.
"We're always listening to what these different people are saying and what they're seeing," Sadanaga said of prosecutors, nurses, legal service providers and others with whom officers work.
In late 2009, Helen Buchel, 34, and her 12-year-old daughter, Brittany Passalacqua, were stabbed to death in her Geneva, New York home.
Buchel's boyfriend, John Brown, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and in 2010 was imprisoned for 40 years to life in a plea deal that Buchel's mother Dale Cook Driscoll said her family accepted so her grandson, who found the bodies, would not have to testify.
Reuters was unable to locate an attorney for Brown, who remains in prison.
In Minnesota, Suomi was the first witness prosecutor Lauri Ketola called.
After the verdict, Suomi said of her daughter, grandson and unborn grandchild: "I finally got justice for them." | https://bdnews24.com/world/americas/america-s-deadly-epidemic-violence-against-women | 2022-07-22T10:46:30Z | https://bdnews24.com/world/americas/america-s-deadly-epidemic-violence-against-women | false | 3 |

The water lilies in the garden pond have really enjoyed this spell of hot weather - the flowers are plentiful and bigger than usual !
This morning we were blessed with a long shower of rain , Fortunately Gary cut and tidied the failing lawns and now are benefitting from the steady rain we had this morning . I have just come home from the Dr's - after having further blood tests ! Now have just enjoyed a cup of coffee . I have not drunk coffee for at least a week during the hot weather - I found my rooibos tea much more refreshing ! | https://365project.org/beryl/365/2022-07-22 | 2022-07-22T10:54:49Z | https://365project.org/beryl/365/2022-07-22 | true | null |
Members of RMBC’s planning board approved the scheme at their meeting on July 21.
The plans would see 25 per cent of the homes allocated as affordable housing, compromised of one two bed bungalow, nine two bed town houses, seven three bed semis, one four bed semi – 18 in total.
Developers have also proposed an extension of the existing 30mph northwards approximately 100m and a ‘village gateway’ feature on Brecks Lane comprising enhanced 30mph road signs, 30mph speed roundel road markings and dragons’ teeth road markings.
An officer report to councillors states that “During the typical weekday peak hour periods (8am to 9am and 5pm to 6pm) two-way traffic flows along the route are approximately 100 vehicles. It can therefore be seen that the route is lightly trafficked.”
During the meeting, Councillor Sue Ellis, who represents Wickersley North, said there had been “an awful lot of concern from residents” about the plans.
The Labour councillor accused the developer of erecting an “unauthorised fence” and a “huge advertising hoard”, adding that she is “disappointed about the quality of the development, or lack of quality.”
Coun Ellis requested a monthly meeting between the developer, site manager and residents, as well as solar power scheme for all the houses.
Coun Ellis also suggested that the number of bungalows be increased to five, from one, to serve an “above average elderly population” in the area.
Emma Ottewell, planning offer at RMBC, told the meeting that she did not know if the council had an enforcement case regarding fencing and hoarding, and added that “there are some deemed consent rights for builders to put up some advertisements on site, but that is usually once planning permission has been granted, so we can investigate that.
“We don’t have the ability, through policy, to require those units to have to have a certain level of solar power provision.
“We have to determine the application that is in front of us.”
The developer would also be required to pay a £159,453 contribution to the “oversubscribed” Wickersley Sports College under a S106 agreement. | https://www.thestar.co.uk/news/politics/seventy-homes-approved-despite-rotherham-councillors-concerns-over-quality-3778187 | 2022-07-22T10:55:47Z | https://www.thestar.co.uk/news/politics/seventy-homes-approved-despite-rotherham-councillors-concerns-over-quality-3778187 | true | 1 |

It follows reports that the group cut through security locks to access Old Bank recreation ground last week, and was aggressive and verbally abusive towards locals.
The Local Democracy Reporting Service asked the council if it would be applying for a possession order.
A spokesperson said: “We are aware of the traveller encampment at Old Bank Road, Mirfield. A welfare visit has been arranged and, where applicable, we will begin legal proceedings.”
However, councillors who raised the issue with the authority say they understand a possession claim has been listed for a hearing at court on Friday, and that the council’s enforcement team has served notice on the encampment.
Once the possession order has been granted by the courts, the council will serve notice at the site and arrange an eviction with the high court sheriff. Two days’ notice must be given before an eviction can be undertaken.
Then, when travellers have vacated the site, portaloo units will be removed, the site will cleansed and cleared of all rubbish, and secured.
It will then undergo a target hardening assessment – security measures aimed at deterring future illegal access.
Among those who reported the travellers’ camp is Coun Martyn Bolt (Con, Mirfield), who said he was frustrated by the lack of action from West Yorkshire Police.
He pointed to new operational advice produced by the National Police Chiefs’ Council last month that he says allows police forces to act on trespassing on land without consent and/or unauthorised encampments like the one at Old Bank Road.
He said the document outlines how the police can act before travellers occupy land and deprive people of local amenities.
He said: “I have asked the police, who said they assessed it as low risk, for evidence of that.
"I have asked Kirklees why they haven’t reviewed their policies and actions knowing [that] a new law was coming out.
“I am very disappointed that Mirfield is once again feeling the brunt of illegal activities and residents, many of whom are elderly, living around the site feel abandoned by the authorities.”
West Yorkshire Police was approached for comment. | https://www.dewsburyreporter.co.uk/news/politics/council/council-applies-for-court-order-to-remove-travellers-from-land-in-mirfield-3778124 | 2022-07-22T11:01:27Z | https://www.dewsburyreporter.co.uk/news/politics/council/council-applies-for-court-order-to-remove-travellers-from-land-in-mirfield-3778124 | false | 1 |

When Gwendolyn Stulgis was shopping for her wedding dress, the two most important things were the price and the cut.
After trying on different options at a bridal shop, nothing quite struck a chord with her. Just as she was about to leave, the saleswoman asked her to look at one more gown.
"The lady that was helping us had said, 'Well, hold on a second. I think I have something for you,'" Stulgis said.
"It was champagne in color. It had long sleeves, sparkly lace all over it. It had these buttons that literally started down the middle of the back, all the way down into the train, which I absolutely loved. I stood there and kind of got tears in my eyes because it really was the dress that I really wanted."
It was a bit over her budget, but after encouragement from her mother-in-law, Stulgis bought it. And after wearing the dress down the aisle, she decided it deserved a better fate than sitting in her closet collecting dust.
"I couldn't figure out quite how I was going to do it. I ended up putting something on Facebook," she said.
Stulgis was bombarded. She received more than 70 messages, with each future bride describing what receiving the dress would mean to them.
She eventually settled on a woman who lived nearby — but a movement was born. Stulgis got messages from other women who also wanted to donate their dresses, as well as those looking for a dress for their own wedding.
Stulgis created a Facebook group called "Dream Dresses." She estimates that since June, more than 200 dresses have been exchanged, and the impact of the group continues to grow.
Diana Bowman was one of the women who donated her dress through the Facebook group, and said that it gave her an opportunity to help someone else with the stress she had experienced during her dress search.
"For me, it was also a different experience because I'm a plus-sized woman and finding a wedding dress in plus sizes is really, really difficult," she said. "So if I could take that stress away from somebody by passing along a beautiful plus-sized gown, I was like, I have to do it."
Bowman donated her dress on one condition: that it continues to get passed on.
"I hope that this dress gets passed from bride to bride to bride, and it just gets worn out and is in tatters at the end of its life because of all the celebrating that's done in it," she said.

AC Milan and PUMA bring it back to 1963 with their iconic white 2022-23 away kit
Serie A champions AC Milan and PUMA come together once again to unveil the brand new 2022-23 away kit, inspired by the Rossoneri's seven champions league titles and iconic white kits.
Synonymous with the club's biggest titles and finals, the all-white away kit holds its icon status within the club's identity.

This season the club look back to a fan-favourite kit; the 1984-85 away kit. Keeping with tradition but inserting a fresh take on the 1984-85 kit, the shirt's white base features seven red horizontal stripes across the middle of the jersey - representative of the club's seven Champions League triumphs.
PUMA's Senior Head of product line management teamsport apparel, Marco Mueller, adds, "AC Milan is steeped in history, so we looked to the 1984/85 season Away kit as an inspiration. We wanted to bring a fresh energy to that kit and celebrate iconic all-white kits of the past."
The jersey itself features black and red trims on the sleeve cuffs and the collar, alongside the Milan coat of arms on the upper back.
A symbol of global success for the club, the white jersey embraces the solidified union between AC Milan and PUMA as they once again utilize the style, fashion and culture of Milan to develop kits that work just as well on the pitch as they do off it.

Unity Rd. to open South Dakota's first state-licensed medical marijuana dispensary in Hartford
Unity Rd. in Hartford will become the South Dakota's first state-licensed medical marijuana dispensary, and it's nearing opening day.
The business will be brought by lifelong friends B.J. Olson and Adam Jorgenson, both from Tea. The two went to grade school together, high school, were college roommates and best men in each other’s weddings.
"We were really pushing hard to get that number one on the door to be the first legal, state-issued license ...," Olson said. "That doesn't happen, unless you have your foot on the gas from the beginning."
Construction on the premise started more than a year and a half ago, Jorgenson said. While training employees has already started, Unity Rd. is eyeing doors to open at noon July 27.
Medical marijuana became legal in the state during the 2020 election when South Dakotans passed the measure with a 69.92% vote in favor of the legalization.
In July 2021, Native Nations Cannabis became the first medical marijuana dispensary in the state, though run through the Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe. Since May 2022, No Worries, in Pine Ridge has been selling recreational marijuana.
Unity Rd. is a franchise and also has shops in Oklahoma and Colorado. But, there’s more to come, Jorgenson said. The company is approved for up to 300 dispensaries across the nation. The South Dakota location will be at 404 West Opal Lane.
“There’s a whole bunch that’ll be (completed) by the end of the year. And the goal there is to provide this level of service, this experience all across the country, no different than Chick-Fil-A,” Olson said. “You get the same service no matter where you go. I want to be at the top level, we want to set the bar high for it.”

Unity Rd. will sell flower first, prepare for more products
The business will offer a number of products including flower, vape cartridges, topicals, pre-rolls and edibles. Initially, only flower will be sold, but the business expects to add products in a couple of weeks, Olson said.
Jorgenson and Olson started the process about two years ago, without proper paperwork and were hoping they’d be able to obtain them at a later date. They did just that.
“We bought the property, we began building the building with no piece of paper, and worst case, we decided we’re gonna build a beautiful structure to lease to somebody and best case, we’re going to be the first dispensary in the state,” Jorgenson said.
The goal for Unity Rd. is to create a shopping experience while educating customers throughout the process. They are also focusing on creating a safe experience for customers with a brightly lit building and security features including a concrete vault, which the building was built around.
Going into the process, Jorgenson said he was focused on creating a safe environment for those with little to no knowledge of cannabis. There will not be an armed guard in the building.
"I can tell you there’s nothing in this building that’s every going to warrant holstering a firearm," Jorgenson said.

Product to be grown, packaged in South Dakota
While planning their business, Olson and Jorgenson looked around the Sioux Falls area, and eventually landed where Olson works and lives. Jorgenson is also from the community, and also has a residence in Arizona.
“When it came down to it, it only really made sense to be in Hartford. We made the investment right away," Olson said. “... The location obviously being right off the interstate, being the first exit out of Sioux Falls, really, really helped … I didn’t want anybody else to come in here into my town and do it the wrong way. So I think if you want something done, you got to do it yourself.”
At Unity Rd., all products will be grown, harvested, processed, packaged and sold in South Dakota, as marijuana is recognized at the federal level. Unity Rd. will get its products from Dakota Natural Solutions Grow outside of Wessington.
“I mean, this is a science lab. They went out and got the best of the best people. We want all the cultivators to want to be on our shelves, we’re only going to have the best product available. I almost want it to be a competition for these cultivators to see who can stay at the top,” Olson said.
How to obtain a license
For customers, they are required to have a South Dakota state-issued medical cannabis card. Tribal cards and out-of-state licenses will not be accepted at the Hartford location. Olson shared his concerns with the lack of education provided up to this point.

“My fear is at least one out of every three customers, I’m going to have to say something like ‘Thank you so much for being here, this is so exciting. I am so sorry, your Native nations card is only valid on the tribal grounds,” Jorgenson said. “... There’s been a very, very limited amount, virtually no marketing around (saying) ‘This is where this works … This is how you get (a South Dakota state licensed card).”
In Sioux Falls, there are places where one could get a card including some physicians and Essential Hopes, a nonprofit that does clinics and can issue cards. Olson said. Customers are also able to use online sites to get their cards through sites like mymarijuanacards.com.
“The reality is, we’re pioneers of the industry. We’re the ones that go out and skin our knees and figure out how to make this tick and our competitors can benefit from what we’re doing,” Jorgenson said.
The business had to get permission from both the city of Hartford and the state to create the building. The two owners are excited to open their doors.
"It's very, very important to me that cannabis is done in this community in the correct way. I don't want to scare my neighbors, I mean, I'm already getting some flak from certain people, but the way I feel, that we can do it is to do it right, and do it right the first time. I got a lot of pride in this building, I got a lot of pride in this product, a lot of pride in this store and I have a lot of pride in this community. It's very important to me that we do it right." | https://www.argusleader.com/story/news/business-journal/2022/07/22/south-dakota-state-licensed-medical-marijuana-dispensary-unity-rd-hartford/10115531002/ | 2022-07-22T11:13:05Z | https://www.argusleader.com/story/news/business-journal/2022/07/22/south-dakota-state-licensed-medical-marijuana-dispensary-unity-rd-hartford/10115531002/ | false | 1 |
Manchester City goalkeeper Aro Muric completing finishing touches on his £3m move to Burnley after being inspired to join the Championship side by new manager Vincent Kompany
- Manchester City goalkeeper Aro Muric is completing a move to Burnley for £3m
- Muric, 23, is putting the finishing touches on a switch to the Championship club
- Burnley boss Vincent Kompany was a main driver in Muric opting for Turf Moor
- Muric provided several good performances as City won the Carabao Cup in 2019
Manchester City goalkeeper Aro Muric is completing a move to Burnley for around £3million.
The 23-year-old is putting the finishing touches on a switch to the Championship club, who are looking to bounce straight back to the Premier League.
New Burnley boss Vincent Kompany was a main driver in Muric opting for Turf Moor ahead of other interested sides on the continent.

Muric is highly regarded at City - who are including a buyback option - and produced a string of encouraging performances as they won the Carabao Cup in 2019.
A loan spell at Nottingham Forest proved a disappointment but the Kosovo international has rediscovered his form during spells across Europe.
Muric went to Willem II in Holland and proved key in the club retaining their status in the Eredivisie during the second half of the 2020-21 season.
He then enjoyed the best campaign of his career to date last term and was voted goalkeeper of the season in Turkey while on loan at Adana Demirspor.

Strong calls have been expressed urging bus services in Derby to be brought back under council control - using a potential £7 million in Government funding. Labour deputy leader Nadine Peatfield wants Conservative-led Derby City Council to put the foot on the accelerator following the cancellation of a number of local services in recent months which have left communities isolated.
The calls come after the controversial axing by Trent Barton of the Spondon Flyer despite a petition of more than 2,000 people urging the bus company to reinstate the service. Councillor Peatfield says service cancellations have had a big impact across Derby.
As well as in Spondon, cutbacks include the loss of the Number 9 service in Mackworth, the loss of the 17a Darley Abbey/Broadway service and reduced services to Royal Derby Hospital as well as services in Sinfin, Oakwood and Chaddesden and Pride Park.
READ NEXT Now even the Mayor of Derby has spoken out against money-making bus lane
The Sinfin councillor called a motion at a full council meeting calling on the council to commission a report into “bringing Derby’s buses back into local control of Derby City Council” due to fears that many people are being left stranded. The motion also urges the council to “bring back full services that have been reduced or removed from communities”.
It is hoped by those backing the motion that indicative funding of more than £7 million from the Department of Transport can help fund the council to bring back services under its own control. There are hopes that the council running bus services will also improve climate change.
Councillor Peatfield told the meeting: “The point is to urgently tackle the climate change catastrophe we have to get people out of cars. We cannot wait any longer. I ask that this council prioritise public transport if we are to seriously make a difference to climate change.
“57 per cent of motorists would use cars less if bus fares were lower and services more available. But is also ensuring our population of non-drivers, disabled people and young people who all need reliable and accessible bus services.
“One double decker bus can take 75 cars off the road so why aren’t we doing everything we can to make our bus services the easiest, cheapest and most convenient way to travel?”
Fellow Labour councillor John Whitby, who serves Mackworth ward and seconded the motion, added: “Without any attempt of consultation or mitigation, the number 9 service in Mackworth was unceremoniously scrapped in April this year. Residents predominently on Ashbourne Road who have been socially isolated due to the pandemic for the last two years are going to be socially isolated indefinitely. We could be left with no bus service on one of Derby’s main thoroughfares.
“We’ve got residents unable to get to medical appointments, access to shops, get to work and when it comes to winter, given the cost of living debacle in this country, there will be residents unable to get on a bus to keep warm. Our only real power is public subsidy. “
The motion was passed but all Conservative councillors in attendance decided to abstain – meaning they did not vote in favour but did not vote against the motion.
Cabinet member for Streetpride and public spaces Jerry Pearce said the council may have to apply the brakes as it maybe limited in what can be done with the Government funds when they become available. Cabinet member for finance Jonathan Smale said a review needs to be taken before the council commits to subsidising services.
Councillor Pearce said: “As a group we are fully aware of the difficulties in some areas of reduced or removed bus services. However the motion refers to the use of the proposed BSIP (Bus Service Improvement Plan) which will prove difficult.”
The cabinet member also added that conditions related to the funds from central government will not allow for removed services to be refunded.
Councillor Smale added: "I must say I do have an element of nervousness around franchising any bus services. After having conversations with Trent Barton to know what it would cost to run a bus service – they say the five current bus services they run inside the city centre boundary costs between £2.5million and £3million a year.”
Derby City Council has launched a public consultation about bus service improvements for the city. More information is available on the Let's Talk Derby website - https://letstalk.derby.gov.uk/
More discussions on the passed motion are expected to take place later this year.

Kyprios and Order Of Australia will spearhead what could be a select Qatar Goodwood Festival team for Aidan O’Brien.
Kyprios and Order Of Australia will spearhead what could be a select Qatar Goodwood Festival team for Aidan O’Brien.
The Al Shaqab Goodwood Cup is Kyprios’ target after he announced his arrival as the latest star of the staying scene with victory in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot last month, with Stradivarius and Princess Zoe poised to renew rivalries while reigning champion Trueshan could also lie in wait on Tuesday.
Order Of Australia returned to form with a Group Two win at the Curragh last Sunday and is primed to step back up to the highest level in Wednesday’s Qatar Sussex Stakes – in which the unbeaten Baaeed and 2000 Guineas winner Coroebus are two of the headline horses.
O’Brien said: “We are happy with Kyprios and the Al Shaqab Goodwood Cup has always been the plan since Ascot.
“The plan is for Order Of Australia to run in the Sussex Stakes, provided everything goes well between now and then. He has come out of the Curragh well.”
O’Brien has a clutch of entries across the week, with Concert Hall set to tackle Thursday’s Qatar Nassau Stakes after finishing fourth in the Belmont Oaks earlier in the month while New York City could move up in trip for the seven-furlong World Pool Lennox Stakes after coming home last in the Sapphire Stakes over the minimum trip last Saturday.
Irish Oaks fourth Emily Dickinson is another who could make a swift return stepping back up to 14 furlongs in the Qatar Lillie Langtry Stakes.
The Ballydoyle handler said: “The plan at the moment is for Concert Hall to run in the Nassau Stakes. She is just back from America and seems very well, so we are thinking of letting her take her chance.
“New York City has a couple of entries and, if he is to go anywhere, it would probably be the World Pool Lennox Stakes. We will speak to Ryan (Moore) closer to the time and see what the race looks like.
“Emily Dickinson is a possible for the Lillie Langtry Stakes. She only ran last weekend and we are just going to see how she is, but she is in good form and the trip will suit.”
O’Brien has three contenders for the Japan Racing Association Vintage Stakes headed by last Saturday’s impressive Curragh scorer Hans Andersen.
Age Of Kings was a beaten favourite in the Tyros Stakes on Thursday evening, with his other entry Greenland yet to get his head in front.
O’Brien added: “We have not decided about the Vintage Stakes yet.
“Hans Andersen only won last weekend whereas Greenland is still a maiden and the other horse (Age Of Kings) ran at Leopardstown last night. We will decide nearer the time.
“The Vintage Stakes is a prestigious race and we like to have something good for it. If a horse does go to stud, it looks very good on their CV.”

The Prince of Wales will represent the Queen at the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony, Buckingham Palace has announced.

He will also read a message from the Queen put in the Commonwealth Games Baton, which has been carried to all 72 nations and territories of the Commonwealth during a 294-day journey.
Members of the royal family, including the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Princess Royal and Earl and Countess of Wessex, will attend events celebrating the games, meeting competitors, volunteers and support staff, visiting venues and attending sporting fixtures.
During a summit of Commonwealth leaders in Rwanda last month, Charles said he is looking forward to visiting the games.

A total of six school children have been rushed to hospital after a 'toxic gas' leaked at a new £655,000 playground.
Emergency services have cordoned off a kids park in the city of Mannheim, southwest Germany after several youngsters complained of eye irritation and coughing after going down the slide.
A call was made to rescue workers at around 11am local time on Friday with six of the 12 affected being taken from Neumarkt to hospital for urgent medical attention.

The fire brigade is understood to be tackling the gas leak while police shield off the area, which Mannheim24 reports is worryingly only a few yards from the city's Neckar School.
Teachers from the school had take two classes for a fun morning out only for it to spiral into trips to the hospital.
The authorities are yet to determine what in or on the slide has caused of the eye irritation and coughing.
Mannheim-Neckarstadt police station are now treating the case with suspicion of bodily harm.
A cool £655,000 was pumped into transforming the playground which was re-opened towards the end of last year.
Mayor Prof. Dr. Diana Pretzel said at its December unveiling: “The playground is suitable for all ages. And what makes me particularly happy is that it also offers fun for children in wheelchairs.”
The playground has a 5/5 rating on Google reviews with parents describing it as one of the best in the city.
A fan of the re-development has since commented: "One of the best playgrounds in Mannheim since the complete redesign. It turned out great and there are offers for all ages."

"The best playground in Neckarstadt for us. Small but fine," another wrote.
MWSP Managing Director Achim Judt who was behind the recent changes in 2021 said: "The completion of the playground is an important building block to strengthen the quality of the central square in the district and another important milestone in local urban renewal when it comes to informal spaces for children and young people."

England face South Africa at Old Trafford in the 2nd ODI. After losing Tuesday's opener by 62, Jos Buttler's side will be desperate to take the fight to South Africa.

After a dismal defeat to India, hopes were high that new captain Jos Buttler – aided by spin bowlers Moeen Ali and Liam Livingstone – would get England back on track and give retiree Ben Stokes a fairytale send-off. Sadly, those hopes were dashed in the 1st ODI against South Africa earlier this week.
South Africa's stand-in skipper Keshav Maharaj put his side to work in superb style, helping Rassie van der Dussen set up the Proteas' highest ODI total in England – and the second highest in the men’s game without a six being struck. England's Ben Stokes said goodbye to 50-over cricket having been being dismissed for five.
With Jos Buttler's men now firmly in a "transition period" (three defeats in four ODIs), Friday's 2nd ODI at Old Trafford could be an opportunity for the likes of Phil Salt to step up to the plate and give the captain some much-needed support. The 2nd ODI of England vs South Africa starts at 1pm BST on Friday 22nd July 2022. Read on to find out how you can watch an England vs South Africa live stream.

76 Devcorp begins a robust community engagement process to help ensure proposed arena development is a win for fans, Center City and Philadelphia at large
PHILADELPHIA, July 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Josh Harris and David Blitzer, Managing Partners of the Philadelphia 76ers, announced today the creation of a new development company, 76 Devcorp, responsible for developing the future home of the Philadelphia 76ers. Led by Philadelphia business leader David Adelman, in partnership with Harris Blitzer Sports Entertainment (HBSE), the Development Corporation is pursuing a privately-funded, purpose-built sports and entertainment arena, 76 Place, that will be located on a portion of the current site of Fashion District Philadelphia and serve as an anchor to Center City.
"The Philadelphia 76ers are a storied Philadelphia institution with a proven track record of investing in their community. That's why we're committed to building a world-class home in the heart of the City and creating a privately-funded arena that strengthens ties within the local community through investments that prioritize equity, inclusivity and accessibility," said Josh Harris, 76ers Managing Partner. "David Adelman shares our vision for ensuring that the new arena is an anchoring force in the local community, creating well-paying jobs and economic opportunities for those who need them most."
Adelman, the CEO of Campus Apartments, Co-Founder of FS Investments and Founder of Darco Capital, was appointed Chairman of the new development company with a mandate to locate, design and develop a destination that serves as a world-class arena facility, but also a lever for the City of Philadelphia's economic growth by promoting transformative community development, local job creation and equitable wealth-building opportunities. He was selected to lead the development project for his globally acclaimed accomplishments in real estate development in Philadelphia and nationwide, as well as his dedication to local philanthropy and investments in Philadelphia startups.
"The Philadelphia 76ers' extensive evaluation of potential sites for an arena over the past two years culminates today with plans to pursue the Fashion District Philadelphia site as the proposed new home of the team," said Adelman. "The chosen location is a key step in the process of developing a destination that provides Center City and surrounding communities with an economic engine generating activity through 76ers and youth games, concerts, events and more."
76 Devcorp carefully evaluated numerous potential sites before determining Fashion District Philadelphia as its preferred location. The site was selected primarily due to it being the most transit-rich location in all of Philadelphia, the ability to redevelop an existing commercial space, and the opportunity to play a role in the continued revitalization of Center City.
The Development Corporation will partner closely with Macerich (NYSE:MAC), the managing partner of the owning entities and operator of Fashion District Philadelphia, to realize the full potential of the site. "At Macerich, we are constantly enhancing our properties to bring greater value to our shareholders, retailers and communities," said Tom O'Hern, CEO of Macerich. "The decision to repurpose part of Fashion District Philadelphia to include the new 76ers arena is a natural evolution of the site and a unique and once in a lifetime opportunity for our company. We are committed to working collaboratively with 76 Devcorp to bring to life the vision of this iconic development that will ensure Philadelphia's vibrancy for generations to come."
A robust community engagement process is planned to ensure community interests help drive the plans for the proposed development and that it fits within the context of surrounding communities, while also being responsive to the needs of adjacent neighborhoods. In the spirit of this project being mutually beneficial for the Sixers and the broader Philadelphia community, 76 Devcorp anticipates partnering with surrounding community development groups to create a Community Benefits Agreement that ensures the forthcoming arena has a positive impact from the start of construction to opening and beyond.
"Our pledge is to advance equitable, community-driven revitalization through this project and to ensure the arena is a win for fans, Philadelphia and the surrounding communities," said David Gould, 76ers Chief Diversity and Impact Officer. "We look forward to listening to and working with the local community, including local organizations, businesses and residents, especially in Chinatown and Washington Square West, to develop a Community Benefits Agreement that results in long-term positive impact."
Led by HBSE's $20 million commitment to address disparities created by systemic racism, the Development Corporation is committed to investing in under-resourced communities to advance equitable, community-driven revitalization. A major tenet of the project will be equitable development, bringing community members to the table via new jobs and co-development roles. 76 Devcorp will collaborate with Mosaic Development Partners, a Black-owned, Philadelphia-based real estate development company with experience in affordable housing and inclusive communities. In January, Josh Harris invested $10 million into Mosaic Development Partners to support their innovative work to expand equitable development across Philadelphia communities.
The new, privately-funded arena is anticipated to cost approximately $1.3 billion. The arena will provide $1.9 billion in overall economic output during construction and $400 million annually upon opening to support Philadelphia's long-term economic growth and sustainability.
"We're excited for the opportunity to build the future home of the 76ers in Center City," said David Blitzer, 76ers Co-Managing Partner. "I look forward to working with David Adelman and his team to develop and build an impactful arena for our fans, our players and the City of Philadelphia."
The development will be completed in time for the 2031-2032 NBA season. Ground-breaking for the proposed project is not expected for several years. The general public and fans can stay up to date on the progress of the development project by visiting 76Place.com.
"Quite simply put, there is no better place to build an arena in Philadelphia than in Center City, with its robust public transit infrastructure and existing dynamic businesses eager to serve fans and visitors alike. 76 Devcorp is inspired by many successful sports and entertainment arenas built in dense urban centers that promote integration with the surrounding communities. We're dedicated to making sure this development is a win for our fans and Philadelphia at large," said Adelman.
Macerich is a fully integrated, self-managed and self-administered real estate investment trust (REIT). As a leading owner, operator and developer of high-quality retail real estate in densely populated and attractive U.S. markets, Macerich's portfolio is concentrated in California, the Pacific Northwest, Phoenix/Scottsdale, and the Metro New York to Washington, D.C. corridor.
Developing and managing properties that serve as community cornerstones, Macerich currently owns 48 million square feet of real estate consisting primarily of interests in 44 regional town centers. Macerich is firmly dedicated to advancing environmental goals, social good and sound corporate governance. A recognized leader in sustainability, Macerich has achieved a #1 GRESB ranking for the North American retail sector for seven straight years (2015-2021).

Hailsham Community College students visit Westminster
Girls from year ten were able to see at first-had debates taking place in the Commons chamber
Seat of Government: Wealden MP Nusrat Ghani with Hailsham Community College students
Submitted for publication by Nusrat Ghani
Two year ten students from Hailsham Community College were guests of Wealden MP Nusrat Ghani on a visit to Westminster for a first-hand experience of UK democracy.
In March this year Nusrat hosted the annual Hailsham Community College careers fair which was attended by local businesses, apprenticeship providers, further education institutes, emergency services and charities. All presented the various career paths available in a multitude of different disciplines to students.
As part of the fair, students took part in Nusrat’s competition to win a visit to Westminster by sharing their policy suggestions. Morgan Barnard and Alanna Cox, both from year ten, suggesting a policy to allow more Ukrainian citizens to come to the UK, and were chosen as the winning entry.
Since March, this has now been achieved through the Homes for Ukraine scheme, bringing over 1,000 Ukrainian arrivals to East Sussex, of which nearly 500 came to Wealden.
During their time in Westminster, Morgan and Alanna, accompanied by the Hailsham Community College's careers advisor Jennie Cole, explored Westminster Hall and the House of Lords chamber, and witnessed live proceedings in the House of Commons chamber.
Nusrat Ghani said: “It was a pleasure to host Morgan and Alanna in Parliament for a first-hand experience of the debates taking place in the Commons chamber. I hope that they enjoyed their visit, especially during this busy time when Westminster is buzzing with the excitement of the leadership contest.
"Every year, I am proud to be championing the Hailsham Community College fair, exhibiting local work opportunities and inspiring future career choices. It is a fantastic event for our young students and I look forward to hosting the next one in March 2023.”

Professor at the Department of Mathematics at the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), Gilcione Nonato Costa explained to the supersports because he and other professionals in the area already practically guarantee access to the Cruzeiro Serie A of the Brazilian Championship.
With 73.7% of success, Cruzeiro closed the first round of Serie B having added 42 points out of 57 possible. The miners opened an advantage of seven for the vice-leader Vasco and an impressive 14 for Tombense, 5th place, the first club outside the G4.
“Statistically speaking, given the condition of Cruzeiro, it has already gone up. If the championship changed completely from now on, Cruzeiro started to make a bad score, it would score 20 points in the second round”, evaluated Gilcione.
“Cruzeiro would reach 62 and would force the 5th place to score more than 36 points in the return, and that is very difficult. For this reason, he practically already guaranteed access. He just didn’t guarantee it mathematically”, added the professor.
According to UFMG, Cruzeiro has a 98.3% chance of access. “Roughly speaking, this is equivalent to, in a deck of cards, you drawing a single specific card that would not guarantee access to the Cruzeiro. It is very unlikely”, reinforced Gilcione.
Access in which round?
The discussion among mathematicians is already about which round Cruzeiro will mathematically guarantee itself in the 2023 Series. Gilcione says that from the 28th, the miners will already be able to have enough points to confirm access.
“If you project the 5th place, Sport or Tombense, they will reach the end of the second round with 56 points (double what they have today). think about access”, said the UFMG professor.
“From the point of view of possibilities, if everything continues to go well for Cruzeiro, there is a chance of, mathematically, guaranteeing access in the 28th round. Before the 28th round, only a virtual classification would be possible”, he said.
Gilcione believes that by the 33rd round, six games from the end of Serie B, possibly in mid-October, Cruzeiro will already be guaranteed to be in the elite. “It is very likely that in round 32 or 33 he is already mathematically guaranteed in Serie A,” he explained.
And the title?
O supersports also questioned the mathematician about the fight for the title of Series B. UFMG points out Cruzeiro with a 71% chance of lifting the trophy in 2022. The sum of the probabilities of the opponents does not reach even half of that of the miners, warns the professor.
“Access is practically guaranteed, but the title is not. It’s still open. There’s Cruzeiro’s seven points fatness in relation to Vasco, maybe mathematically it can be champion with early rounds, but he still has direct confrontations”, evaluated .
“Another factor that prevents us from guaranteeing a more secure performance away from home. The current moment of instability. For him to guarantee the title more easily, he would have to recover his good performance as a visitor”, he warned. | https://thegoaspotlight.com/2022/07/22/why-do-mathematicians-virtually-ensure-access-to-the-series-a-cruise/ | 2022-07-22T11:31:45Z | https://thegoaspotlight.com/2022/07/22/why-do-mathematicians-virtually-ensure-access-to-the-series-a-cruise/ | true | 2 |
WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Joe Biden declares Russia’s Ukraine war “genocide,” it isn’t just another strong word. Calling a campaign that’s aimed at wiping out a targeted group “genocide” not only increases pressure on a country to act, it can oblige it to. That’s partly because of a genocide treaty approved by the U.N. General Assembly after World War II, signed by the United States and more than 150 other nations. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2673390416659/swingin-summer-eve-wednesday-5-30-8-30pm-at-cromwell-park | 2022-07-22T11:31:49Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2673390416659/swingin-summer-eve-wednesday-5-30-8-30pm-at-cromwell-park | false | null |

Lisa Ashton wants to be an inspiration for the young guns who will help take women’s darts to the next level.
The four-time world champion, who was the first female to win a PDC Tour Card, is still the stand-out player in the women’s game and will be the favourite to win the inaugural Women’s World Matchplay event in Blackpool on Sunday.
The tournament, played at the Winter Gardens ahead of the final of the men’s event, will also feature Fallon Sherrock as well as up-and-coming players Katie Sheldon and Chloe O’Brien.
At 51, Aston is the elder stateswoman of the women’s game and wants to show the younger players, including 18-year-old World Darts Federation world champion Beau Greaves, the way.
She said: “It is very special, you see a lot of people slowing down and not doing as much, it seems to be I’m doing more now than I did when I was younger and my darts is still improving.
“Hopefully I can show the ladies at the older ages ‘you keep going, you go as much as you can’ and hopefully I am trying my best and I can keep going and get there in the end.
“Hopefully I’m inspiring some of the young girls and teenagers to show that even if you’re not comfortable now, keep going.
“I’m one of the older ones who’s still playing. There’s no age (limit) in darts.
“You can start it in your 20s, younger, or even later. You can get to where I am and I’m still going. The youth are coming through and there’s no age gap. Never give up, keep going and you’ll get there one day.
“I don’t know how long it will last. I will last as long as my body tells me I can. I am taking every year as I can and just keep trying as much as I can.”
The women’s game, helped by the exploits of Sherrock, has taken off in recent years, with plenty of female representation in the men’s game.
But Ashton has hopes for it to become just as big in its own right and – with Sherrock, Emma Raducanu and the England women’s football team flourishing – believes now is a good time to be a successful sportswoman.
“It can be brilliant,” she said of the potential for women’s darts. “We have got Beau, she’s the youngest world champion.
“In the Matchplay you’ve got Katie Sheldon, you’ve got Chloe O’Brien. It shows the youth is coming through. There is a lot more girls now watching darts and interested in taking it forward.
“It’s brilliant, it just takes one or two and then hopefully we open it up from there and hopefully the younger girls watch them and they can take it forward.
“There is a lot opening up for women. You see in the football, the Lionesses, they are taking it forward.
“The ladies are breaking through and they are breaking those barriers down. It is brilliant. We are all sports people, it is not a man against a woman anymore, we are all in this together now and it is fantastic.”

Prince Harry wins bid to challenge security decisions
By George Bowden
BBC News
- Published
The Duke of Sussex has been granted permission to bring a High Court challenge against the Home Office over his security arrangements in the UK.
Prince Harry wants a review of the decision to not allow him to pay for police protection for himself and his family while visiting from the US.
A February 2020 decision ruled they would not be afforded the "same degree" of protection while in the UK.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped back from royal duties in January 2020.
In a judgment on Friday, the High Court judge said the case could proceed, granting permission for part of Prince Harry's claim to have a judicial review.
Mr Justice Swift said: "The application for permission to apply for judicial review is allowed in part and refused in part."
A judicial review is where a judge reviews the lawfulness of a decision or action made by a public body, like the Home Office.
The duke's challenge concerns the February 2020 decision of the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec), which falls under the Home Office's management.
Ravec told the duke he would no longer be given the "same degree" of personal protective security when visiting, after he and his wife stepped back from official royal duties.
Prince Harry won the right to challenge the lack of transparency around Ravec's decision-making and its policies, and whether its decision about the level of protection was reasonable.
Prince Harry's legal team are seeking to argue that the security arrangements set out in a letter from Ravec, and their application when he visited the UK in June 2021, were invalid due to "procedural unfairness" because he was not given an opportunity to make "informed representations beforehand".
Shaeed Fatima QC, for the duke, told the court earlier this month: "He didn't know at that stage that the Royal Household was involved at all ... he was told it was an independent decision."
However, lawyers for the Home Office say Ravec was entitled to reach the decision it did, which is that Prince Harry's security arrangements will be considered on a "case by case" basis, and argue that permission for a full judicial review should be refused.
Prince Harry and the Home Office will submit further information to the court ahead of any application for judicial review. | https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-62265278 | 2022-07-22T11:35:25Z | https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-62265278 | true | 3 |
Which ottoman is best?
An ottoman is a great way to tie a room together. It provides more seating or reclining space and can easily be moved around the room to accommodate new needs. It adds to the overall look of a room as an aesthetically pleasing accent and is available in a wide variety of sizes and styles. The Homebeez Round Velvet Storage Ottoman is a beautiful, well-crafted piece of tufted furniture that is sure to draw the eye.
What to know before you buy an ottoman
Materials
An ottoman typically has a wooden or steel frame upholstered in one of several materials.
- Cotton is durable, lightweight, comfortable and easy to clean. It comes in many prints and colors but can fade faster than other fabrics.
- Polyester is an affordable, breathable fabric that comes in a wide selection of colors. It doesn’t last as long as other fabrics, but it’s great for a tight budget.
- Linen is durable and holds up well over time. It is easy to clean and has a sophisticated look.
- Twill hides stains or imperfections really well. It’s popular with upholstered furniture and curtains, which must be strong and dependable.
- Velvet is a soft material with a great texture that comes in beautiful colors. It feels and looks good but can be difficult to clean.
- Leather is the most durable and the most expensive option. It’s easy to clean, and the colors feature rich tones but are limited in variety.
- Faux leather has plenty of stylistic similarities to leather but costs less. It isn’t as durable but is easier to find in different styles and colors.
Size
Some ottomans are sized to match a chair or sofa produced by the same manufacturer. In general, however, an ottoman usually stands between 13 and 20 inches high and around 18 inches deep. It should be at least two-thirds the size of a sofa, and you should leave around 12 to 30 inches of space between it and any surrounding furniture.
Base
Some ottomans feature a flat base that sits flush with the floor, while others have feet made from a material intended to contrast or compliment the upholstered fabric. An ottoman can have three to four feet constructed from wood, engineered wood or metal.
What to look for in a quality ottoman
Storage
Some ottomans feature removable lids that reveal a compartment inside for storing blankets, toys or books. Others have a built-in tray in the center where you can put food, drinks or personal items, such as your phone. If you want the best of both worlds, look for an interior storage ottoman with a reversible lid that flips over when you need a small tabletop.
Tufted vs. smooth surface
An ottoman’s exterior can be tufted with buttons or nails, but there are also smooth options that don’t rely on so much hardware.
- Tufted cushioning is usually more comfortable and retains the ottoman’s shape well. It adds some dimension and texture.
- Smooth cushioning doesn’t always keep its shape, but it feels nicer if you don’t like bumps. It’s also easier to clean.
Shape
While square and round ottomans are the most popular, a few less traditional shapes are also available.
- Wedge: This one has a few angles, making it great for small or unconventionally designed spaces.
- Rectangular: This one is elongated and functions like a bench.
- Half-circle: This shape looks like a round ottoman cut in half. It is great if you want some rounded depth but needs the ottoman to fit flat against the edge of a sofa or chair.
- Pouf: Unlike a round ottoman with a base or feet, a pouf is round all over, similar to a beanbag chair. It’s great for small spaces.
How much you can expect to spend on an ottoman
An ottoman can cost $30-$500 depending on the size, materials and style.
Ottoman FAQ
What’s the difference between an ottoman and a bench?
A. An ottoman can serve similar functions to benches and footstools. The main difference is usually the materials from which it is constructed and the size, though some ottomans are quite large.
How do you clean an ottoman?
A. An ottoman can be gently cleaned with baking soda, spray cleaners or steam cleaning, depending on the fabric. Check the ottoman label because there might be specific instructions.

Together the Web3 innovator and O2O leader will create a first-of-its-kind experience to drive innovation in direct-to-consumer marketing
NEW YORK, July 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- POAP Inc, developer of the protocol that preserves human memories, and Flowcode, the world's most advanced QR technology and offline to online leader, are announcing a strategic partnership, offering a unified customer experience for distributing tokens and event based memorializations. The Proof of Attendance Protocol, uses blockchain technology to mint digital mementos (known as "POAPs") in celebration of life's remarkable moments. Paired with Flowcode's custom-designed, privacy compliant QR technology, the partnership creates the first and only fully integrated Web3 suite that connects the offline world to Web3.
"Flowcode is POAP's dream partner to bring the magic of Web3 to the world. We are proud to co-develop a seamless O2O experience that connects audiences with brand narratives in new and unforeseen ways," said Patricio Worthalter, CEO of POAP Inc.
POAP and Flowcode's unique offering will combine POAP's best-in-class Web3-based digital collectibles with Flowcode's best-in-class O2O product suite to deliver digitally native experiences from the offline world. With this partnership, consumers do not need to have a crypto wallet as all Web3 activations are accessible via email. POAPs are regularly issued by 8,000 organizations and 4.5M have already been distributed to 800,000 unique wallets. Flowcode is accessible through any smartphone, and 42% of U.S. consumers have scanned a Flowcode QR code in the last 30 days.
"85% of the world's economy happens offline and the most important and strategic channel for businesses in the future is connecting the blockchain with brand experiences in the real world," said Flowcode's Founder and CEO, Tim Armstrong. "Flowcode and POAP are pioneering the transformation of the analog economy to a blockchain driven economy that allows the best brands in the world to build direct customer relationships and powerful first party data. We look forward to accelerating our partnership to serve brands, like VaynerMedia, that care just as much about their offline experiences as their online experiences."
POAP and Flowcode teamed up earlier this year at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheater during Kevin Gates' concert, where exclusive POAP NFTs were distributed via Flowcode. 100% of the digital collectables were distributed and 90% of the concert goers who claimed the POAPs were new to crypto. The industry leaders also partnered with Gary Vaynerchuk during his Cannes Lions presentation, where attendees scanned the Flowcode to access an exclusive POAP from the session.
"We wanted to demonstrate to the Cannes Lions audience how frictionless it is to use Web3 technology," said Vaynerchuk, Chairman of VaynerX and CEO of VaynerMedia. "By using Flowcode to distribute our POAP to attendees, we were able to provide a seamless experience and hopefully spur creative ideas in the space going forward."
POAP Inc was established in 2021, with the mandate of stewarding the development and global adoption of the Proof of Attendance Protocol.

By Adrian Wooldridge
Britain has provided its former colony across the Atlantic with a regular supply of brilliant male journalists, from Alistair Cooke to Christopher Hitchens to Andrew Sullivan. But none has exercised the same degree of influence as a woman who left school at 16 and who has seldom said anything worth saying about any of the great political events of our time.
From her chair as editor-in-chief of Vogue since 1988, Wintour has not only dominated the multibillion-dollar fashion industry. She has ruled the New York social scene, compelling billionaires and deca-billionaires to dance to her tune. More than anyone else she decides who is “in” and who is “out”. And she uses that unique power to raise remarkable sums of money for charity, including $250 million for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute, which now bears her name.
Cooke and Co. have attracted glowing profiles (journalists like nothing better than writing about each other). Wintour has inspired a best-selling novel by Lauren Weisberger, The Devil Wears Prada, which was turned into a film starring Meryl Streep, and two biographies, the second of which, Amy Odell’s Anna, came out this month. The New York Times has even written a glowing profile of her office desk – “a long, lean affair with playful legs [!] reminiscent of the fins of a 1950s Cadillac”.
Odell’s new book is a wonderful romp through Wintour’s world: couture at its juiciest. But it is more than that: an intimate guide to how the queen of fashion built and manages her magic kingdom. Wintour’s management style matters not only because fashion is a mighty industry but also because it is an exemplar of the intangible economy that accounts for ever more of the world’s wealth. Economic success is driven less by your ability to produce things (which is being routinised) than by your ability to capture the zeitgeist and mobilise creative people.
Management gurus are more or less in agreement that the rise of the intangible economy means a shift from command-and-control management to empowerment: successful managers are “servant-leaders” who provide a nurturing atmosphere in which creative types lounge on beanbags and “bring their true selves to work”. Wintour’s career suggests, at the very least, that this assumption is not universally the case; indeed, quite possibly, it is self-deluding tosh.
Here are seven management secrets of an undeniably great manager of creative talent as distilled from the new biography and from talking to several people who know her:
- Devote your life to your vocation with the same discipline that Jesuit priests devote theirs to God.
Wintour’s work ethic is formidable. She returned to work a few days after having her first child, dressed in a slim-cut dress and high heels (so much for the six months that both new fathers and new mothers now demand). She gets up at 5am every morning and goes through the same routine: exercise at 5.30 or 6 depending on whether she plays her twice-weekly game of tennis or works out with a trainer; sit for half an hour for professional hair and make-up; take the limo to work so that she arrives before most of her staff (who have to cope with the indignities of public transport). She only breaks for a short lunch, maximum an hour, if it is essential for business, and takes a dummy copy of the magazine home to review, making single comments in the margin such as “deadly”, along with a tote bag full of papers.
So is her ability to endure humiliation, setbacks and carping. One of her earliest jobs was fashion editor of Viva: the International Magazine for Women, owned by the publisher of Penthouse, Bob Guccione, and his future wife Kathy Keeton: both kept their shirts unbuttoned to display their chests – his hairy, hers pushed-up, both laden with jewellery – and both interfered incessantly. The New York press loved speculating about her imminent fall.
Wintour doesn’t make a distinction between her personal and professional life. Her close friends are always somehow the leaders in their fields, from Harvey Weinstein in films (now dropped) to Roger Federer in sports. Her impeccably curated dinner parties mix the powerful with the glamorous – for example, sitting Henry Kissinger next to Susanne Bartsch, a party promoter once described as “Mother Teresa in a glitter G-string”.
Wintour keeps three personal assistants at her beck and call whose job is to ease her way through life – make sure a latte and blueberry muffin are waiting on her desk when she arrives (she telephones 15 minutes before getting into the office so that the latte is the right temperature); carry her bulging tote bag from her limousine to her desk so that she can look picture-perfect; write down everything she says; run domestic errands; find her dog if it gets lost. Yet, there is a business justification for this: she delegates the small stuff so that she can devote herself completely to her work. Most of her assistants respect her because she drives herself as hard as she drives them.
- Turn yourself into a brand. Wintour has worn the same costume for decades: oversized sunglasses that allow her to conceal her emotions; hair still in a girlish bob; a high-collared designer dress; a couple of expensive necklaces. Her name happily fits in with her icy manner – and generates easy headlines about “nuclear Wintour”.
- Control everything. Wintour micromanages everything that comes into her purview, from the pages of the magazine to the world she inhabits. One of the first things she did when she became editor was to refurbish the office: out went the beige walls, butter-coloured chairs and soft seats of the previous regime and in came white walls, glass offices and hard metal seats. Employees who fail to live up to her sartorial standards are treated to “the look”, which suggests that their time is limited if they don’t change their ways. One new hire from the West Coast found herself whisked off to a hairdresser, who waxed the back of her neck to even out her hairline.
This control-freakery reaches a frenzy at her annual ball. Celebrities are told what to wear. Guests who pay thousands of dollars for a ticket are tightly choreographed. Conde Nast has even hired a movement coach who directs them so that they can show off their costumes to best effect for Instagram.
- Never forget about high culture. Wintour put Madonna on the cover of Vogue and invited Puff Daddy (Sean Combs) to perform at the first Met Gala (another guest, Henry Kissinger, thought his name was “Fluff Daddy”). During her time with Vibe she even encountered the dregs of US culture in the form of the hairy-chested Guccione. But she always kept an eye on high art. She took courses in art history, visited art exhibitions in her spare time and collected art show catalogues. The scene of her greatest social triumph was the storied Metropolitan Museum of Art.
- Don’t waste time on small talk. “With Anna you get two minutes – the second is a courtesy,” an insider says. Polite courtesies are ignored. Meetings are driven at bullet-train speed. Proposals are given the one-word treatment – “yes, no, yes, no, goodbye”. “Hallos” and “goodbyes” are for social superiors, not her staff.
- It’s better to be feared than loved, as Machiavelli put it. Wintour strikes fear into all around her not by throwing tantrums but by her icy demeanour. Her staff are too frightened to travel in the lift with her or to address her – or even look her in the face – until she has addressed them. Her assistants burst into tears if they make mistakes.
On assuming the editorial chair, she interviewed all the existing staff on their jobs and got rid of lots of them (“some days it felt like every hour someone was being shown the door,” says someone who lived through the handover). When she made the mistake of commissioning a puff-piece on Bashar al-Assad’s wife, Asma (“glamorous, young and very chic – the freshest and most magnetic of first ladies”) and publishing it against stiff internal opposition, it was the author of the piece, Joan Juliet Buck, a former friend, who got the chop.
Nobody is too high and mighty to be cut down. She frequently killed shoots no matter how much it cost and whose ego it bruised. She got rid of one of the magazine’s star photographers, Richard Avedon, on the grounds that his covers were all the same, and stopped featuring Giorgio Armani on her pages because she thought he was passé. , despite his standing as one of the magazine’s biggest advertisers. “If you get frozen by her, that’s it,” said Lisa Love, Vogue’s longtime West Coast editor. “She’s a Scorpio, you’re done. It’s that cold.”
- Focus on entire ecosystems. Wintour wasn’t content to edit the world’s most important fashion magazine. She turned herself into the managing director of the entire fashion industry – offering fashion companies advice, promoting young talent (she matched John Galliano with LVMH-owned Givenchy in the mid-1990s) and acting as the fashion world’s spokesperson to the worlds of politics and philanthropy. Her dual role as adviser and editor allowed her, in effect, to mark her own homework; her position as head of the industry made it all but impossible for her boss, S.I. Newhouse, to sack her.
The periodic rumours that the queen of fashion was about to be felled reached a fever pitch with the arrival of Black Lives Matter and the Social Justice movement. “Can Anna Wintour survive the Social Justice Movement?” The New York Times asked with relish. Staff at lesser Conde Nast titles such as Bon Appetit and other publications such as Refinery29 complained about toxic work environments. Critics focused on Wintour’s indifference to diversity (the 1990s went by with nary a non-white model appearing on Vogue’s covers) and her habit of recruiting her staff exclusively from the Ivy League and the aristocracy. Maureen Dowd described the Met Ball as “a gala that makes every thoughtful American feel like Robespierre”. Andre Leon Talley, who was Vogue’s first black male creative director from 1988 to 1995 and a close Wintour colleague, once voiced his inner Jacobin: “She’s part of an environment of colonialism. She is entitled and I do not think she will ever let anything get in the way of her white privilege.”
Wintour’s power lay in her ability to decide who was “in” and who was “out”. But this power was now disputed by an army of young activists – dressed in grunge rather than Prada and filled with the self-righteousness of Chairman Mao’s Red Guards – who claimed the right to “cancel” people who wore fur (a Wintour favourite) or who had the wrong beliefs about race.
Yet Wintour’s power has survived both the Social Justice movement and the gutting of Conde Nast’s budgets by the digital whirlwind (the physical copy of Vogue is a mere shadow of its 1990s version). In December 2020, she was given two new titles: worldwide chief content officer and global editorial director of Vogue. Wintour has made her peace with BLM and SJ with the help of powerful friends in the Democratic Party, not least the Obamas. Vogue is now as replete with diversity as the rest of the US media. Her position as the MD of the fashion industry as well as a magazine impresario means that, if she ever leaves Conde Nast, she could probably increase her income as a consultant.
Wintour’s management style will also survive her departure, though perhaps not in the pure form that she has developed it (try demanding three personal assistants in today’s pinched financial environment). Wintour understood what gurus of empowerment have failed to grasp: that “total quality management” is just as applicable to culture as it is to car-making but that, in the case of culture, TQM means that a single all-powerful and well-informed boss needs to keep a tireless eye on every detail of the process. Newspapers and (particularly) magazines can only thrive if they are the product of a single coherent vision. They court with disaster if they allow themselves to be edited by their staff or, still worse, the Twitter mob. Consultancies and banks can only thrive if all their employees are singing from the same hymn sheet.
The intangible economy may like to wreathe itself in the smiley language of “workshops” and “flat management”. But it is just as much in need as the tangible economy of the smack of firm government and the frisson of clear decision-making.

TOKYO (AP) — Japan’s nuclear regulator on Friday approved details of a planned release of treated radioactive wastewater from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear power plant into the sea next year.
The approval by the Nuclear Regulation Authority will enable Tokyo Electric Power Co. to start building necessary facilities ahead of the discharge. It came two months after a preliminary greenlight and a subsequent public review process.
Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings submitted the plan in December based on a government decision last year to release the wastewater as a necessary step for the plant’s ongoing decommissioning.
A massive earthquake and tsunami in 2011 destroyed the Fukushima Daiichi plant's cooling systems, causing triple meltdowns and the release of large amounts of radiation. Water that was used to cool the three damaged reactor cores, which remain highly radioactive, has since leaked into basements of the reactor buildings but was collected and stored in tanks.
Local fishing communities and neighboring countries have raised concerns about potential health hazards from the radioactive wastewater, which TEPCO and government officials say will be treated to levels far below releasable standards. They maintain that the environmental and health impacts will be negligible.
Japan nuclear authority chairman Toyoshi Fuketa told reporters Friday that the release plan had no major technical or safety issues. He said the regulators will ensure approved procedures are strictly followed with transparency.
The government and TEPCO say that of more than 60 isotopes selected for treatment, all but one, tritium, will be reduced to meet safety standards. Scientists say impacts of long-term, low-dose exposure to tritium for the environment and humans are still unknown. Tritium affects humans more when it is consumed in fish, they say.
The contaminated water is being stored in about 1,000 tanks at the damaged plant. Officials say they must be removed so that facilities can be built for its decommissioning. The tanks are expected to reach their capacity of 1.37 million tons next year.
TEPCO said it plans to transport treated and releasable water through a pipeline from the tanks to a coastal facility, where it will be diluted with seawater and then sent through an undersea tunnel with an outlet about 1 kilometer (0.6 mile) away to minimize the impact on local fishing and the environment.
The government and TEPCO still need to gain local consent for building the tunnel and other related facilities. They plan to begin gradually releasing the treated water in spring 2023.
Japan has sought help from the International Atomic Energy Agency to ensure the water release meets international safety standards and reassure local fishing and other communities and neighboring countries that have opposed the plan.
Experts from the IAEA visited the plant earlier this year and said Japan was taking appropriate steps for the planned discharge.
In a statement Friday, TEPCO pledged to sincerely respond to the IAEA reviews, ensure safety, provide data to the public and strengthen its radiation monitoring. The company also vowed to do its utmost to explain the water discharge plans and gain the public’s understanding about the decommissioning. | https://www.ajc.com/news/nation-world/japan-oks-preparation-step-for-fukushima-plant-water-release/242IUVQREVDTXDEMXUDWH3RBOI/ | 2022-07-22T11:43:57Z | https://www.ajc.com/news/nation-world/japan-oks-preparation-step-for-fukushima-plant-water-release/242IUVQREVDTXDEMXUDWH3RBOI/ | false | 13 |
SHANGHAI, July 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The New Development Bank (NDB) is celebrating its seventh anniversary with a journey of achievements. The Bank – established by the BRICS countries – started its operations in July 2015. Over the past seven years, NDB has evolved from a start-up to a major provider of development solutions. It operates in countries that exhibit great economic dynamism and have a strong demand for infrastructure.
NDB recently completed its initial capitalization of USD 10 billion of equity contributed by founding members. Since its foundation, the Bank has approved nearly USD 32 billion for infrastructure and sustainable development projects in four continents. The Bank has become an agile, lean, modern and fit-for-purpose institution.
NDB's project portfolio features investments in areas such as clean energy, urban mobility, water, sanitation, transport, social and digital infrastructure. Projects supported by NDB will help build or upgrade 15,700 km of roads, 850 bridges and 260 km of rail transit networks. This is larger than the diameter of planet Earth. They are also expected to avoid 13 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per year and increase drinking water supply capacity by 209,000 m³/day, among a range of other development results.
These are projects that support the commitments by NDB member countries towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). They are implemented using country systems for environmental, social, governance (ESG) and procurement practices, without imposing policy prescriptions or conditionalities to the operations. Over 20% of project approvals are denominated in local currencies, helping clients to mitigate foreign-exchange risk and supporting the development of domestic capital markets.
In 2016, only about one year after starting operations, NDB made its inaugural bond issuance – a Green Financial Bond of RMB 3 billion. NDB was the first international financial institution to issue such instrument in China's Interbank Bond Market. The Bank has since then raised over USD 10 billion in domestic and international capital markets, including the first-ever SDG bond following the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) SDG Impact Standards.
Credit rating agencies have assigned NDB a very high rating – several notches above the average of its member countries. NDB embraces prudent risk management policies, has large capital buffers and adopts very strong liquidity metrics. The Bank abides by high standards in terms of governance, procurement and social responsibility.
In 2021, NDB admitted Bangladesh, Egypt, United Arab Emirates and Uruguay as new members. They add over 280 million people that can benefit from NDB's mission, while strengthening the Bank's global outreach. Also in 2021, the Bank moved to its permanent headquarters, a modern architectural landmark located in Shanghai.
The recently approved 2022-2026 General Strategy aims at providing USD 30 billion over the next five years. Over this period, NDB will expand operations with the private sector, multiply development impact and direct 40% of its approvals to climate change mitigation and adaptation. NDB is embarking on a new phase in its journey to become a premier development institution for emerging economies.

Leading customer service training company positions itself for future growth with new leadership position
SOUTH JORDAN, Utah , July 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Power Selling Pros, a leading customer service and call handling coaching company, has named tenured marketing specialist Zac Garside as its new CEO. With a focus on continuing the growth of the business, Garside brings a wealth of experience to the executive position.
"Zac has been an asset to the company since he joined the team," said Brigham Dickinson, Founder and President of Power Selling Pros. "Good home service companies are constantly busy, so they don't have much time to focus on ways to improve company culture or the customer experience. Zac has been at the forefront of helping these companies learn how to grow their business with an enhanced company culture and a better customer experience since 2015."
"Zac is now in a position of leadership at Power Selling Pros that will enable contractors and their teams to focus more on people and service skills using our trademarked Pattern for Excellence and the principles found therein. Zac is the perfect person to drive the direction of this company moving forward."
Garside graduated from Utah State University with a bachelor's degree in marketing. He joined Power Selling Pros in 2015 as a customer service coach and has held various positions since then including business developer, trainer, sales manager and head of marketing.
With a strong dedication to helping home service businesses grow through personalized coaching and group training, Garside is also the host of "This Call May Be Recorded." The popular YouTube show is where Garside listens to recorded customer service phone calls and coaches them up live.
"At Power Selling Pros, we have been creating positive change for contractors for almost 15 years now - teaching them and their teams a proven set of customer service and communication skills utilized by literally thousands of growing companies in our industry." Garside said. "I am grateful for the trust that Brigham has placed in me to take the lead of what Power Selling Pros has become from scratch under his stewardship and continue to grow it by building our people internally as well as the many companies we serve in this industry."
"A long time ago, Brigham heard Zig Ziglar say that you can have anything you want in life as long as you help other people get what they want. In other words, personal and business success comes from the extent to which you serve others. Our intent is to help more contractors see that customers no longer compare you to your direct competition. They now compare you to everyone they buy from! The new standard for customer service is to create a 'WOW' experience every single time, and we're going to arm contractors everywhere with the confidence, self-reliance and service mindedness they need to create that kind of experience in every employee and client interaction."
As CEO of Power Selling Pros, Garside is looking to evolve services by making the voices of their clients and partners the driving force behind the company.
"In my new executive role, I want to utilize all the tools at my disposal to grow the company," Garside said. "I will ask for help and recognize the strength and expertise of the great people in our industry while owning my mistakes. Knowledge is power, and I will accept feedback from industry professionals that understand the goals of Power Selling Pros."

Felise Kaufusi has reportedly elected to represent Tonga at the 2022 Rugby League World Cup, becoming the latest player to turn his back on Mal Meninga and the Kangaroos.
The Auatralian coach has made his frustrations over the perceived eligibility problems in the international game clear in recent times.
Losing Brian To'o to Samoa already, a whole host of players could yet defect away from the Kangaroos in the coming weeks, with Meninga wanting all players to make their mind up before he names his training squad.
The blow on Kaufusi - who played Game 1 and 2 of the recent State of Origin series, but missed Game 3 due to personal circumstances - will come as a bitter one for the Kangaroos.
News Corp are reporting the Melbourne Storm, but Dolphins'-bound veteran forward has only made his decision this week, but has ultimately committed to join the Tongan cause.
Kaufusi played three Tests for Tonga to start his international career in 2015, before playing for Australia on four occasions.
He would likely have been a walk up selection in the Australian squad, with Cameron Murray a likely selection on the other end amid a dearth of suitable back row options for Meninga and a yet to be confirmed selection panel, with both Brad Fittler and Billy Slater reportedly opting out.
The 30-year-old has played 165 games for the Melbourne Storm since debuting in 2014 and 14 games for Queensland in the Origin arena, and would have brought much needed experience to the Kangaroos' squad.
Instead, he will take his talents to Tonga, where he will be joined by the likes of Jason Taumalolo, Addin Fonua-Blake, Kotoni Staggs and Tesi Niu among others who all played for the nation in the recent representative round against New Zealand.
A host of other players are yet to commit either way, with Jarome Luai and Stephen Crichton seemingly likely to follow Penrith teammate To'o, while Tino Fa'asuamaleaui, Jeremiah Nanai, Josh Papali'i and Junior Paulo out of the Origin squads could also move out of the Australian set up.
The World Cup will played in England during October and November. | https://www.zerotackle.com/felise-kaufusi-makes-world-cup-eligibility-call-120598/ | 2022-07-22T11:55:51Z | https://www.zerotackle.com/felise-kaufusi-makes-world-cup-eligibility-call-120598/ | true | 1 |

RICHMOND, Va. — Amber Heard notified a Virginia court Thursday that she will appeal the $10.35 million judgment she was ordered to pay ex-husband Johnny Depp during a high-profile defamation trial that exposed the inner workings of their troubled marriage.
Heard's lawyers filed a notice of appeal in Fairfax County Circuit Court, where a six-week trial featured riveting testimony from both Heard and Depp. The document notifies the Virginia Court of Appeals that Heard intends to appeal the judgment, as well as rulings the judge made after the verdict, including rejecting Heard's request to set aside the verdict and dismiss the lawsuit or order a new trial.
“We believe the court made errors that prevented a just and fair verdict consistent with the First Amendment. We are therefore appealing the verdict,” a spokesperson for Heard said in a statement. “While we realize today’s filing will ignite the Twitter bonfires, there are steps we need to take to ensure both fairness and justice.”
Depp sued Heard for libel over a December 2018 op-ed she wrote in The Washington Post describing herself as “a public figure representing domestic abuse.” Depp’s lawyers alleged he was defamed by the article even though it never mentioned him by name. Heard filed counterclaims, alleging that Depp's former lawyer defamed her by publicly characterizing her abuse allegations as a hoax.
The jury ordered Heard to pay Depp $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages. The punitive damages were reduced to $350,000 under a state cap. The jury awarded Heard $2 million on her counterclaim.
Much of the testimony during the six-week trial focused on Heard’s claims that she had been physically and sexually abused by Depp at least a dozen times. Depp insisted that he never hit Heard and that she was the abuser.
“The jury listened to the extensive evidence presented during the six-week trial and came to a clear and unanimous verdict that the defendant herself defamed Mr. Depp in multiple instances," a spokesperson for Depp said in a statement. "We remain confident in our case and that this verdict will stand." | https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/local/virginia/johnny-depp-amber-heard-update-heard-files-appeal/65-3d55de87-76ca-4c3d-8964-d5748c15b4d3 | 2022-07-22T12:12:13Z | https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/local/virginia/johnny-depp-amber-heard-update-heard-files-appeal/65-3d55de87-76ca-4c3d-8964-d5748c15b4d3 | false | 31 |

It looks like World of Warcraft fans finally have a release date for Wrath of the Lich King Classic.
Last night, Blizzard seemingly accidentally updated the official website for the game with a picture that revealed the release date is set for Sept. 26, 2022, according to WoWhead. The picture has since been taken down by the developer.
While there are no further details at this time, it’s more than possible that one of WoW’s most beloved expansions is releasing in just a few months from now. Blizzard initially announced it was working on the Classic expansion on April 19. Since then, Blizzard has kept its lips sealed about the game.
There was around a two-year gap between the releases of World of Warcraft Classic and Burning Crusade Classic. The first game went live on Aug 27, 2019, and the expansion was released on June 1, 2021. With Wrath of the Lich King Classic likely coming soon, that means there’s only been a 15-month gap between the two expansions.
While this shorter gap may seem a little strange, the devs are probably just making way for the next retail expansion. Dragonflight, WoW’s ninth expansion, is scheduled to release in December this year with the addition of a new race called the Dracthyr. | https://dotesports.com/wow/news/blizzard-accidentally-leaks-the-release-date-for-wrath-of-the-lich-king-classic | 2022-07-22T12:16:58Z | https://dotesports.com/wow/news/blizzard-accidentally-leaks-the-release-date-for-wrath-of-the-lich-king-classic | false | 1 |

Even Better, which was launched by Dr Hannah Burman, supports the Jarrow community with mental health and is continuing to grow since its launch in 2019, recently taking on new staff and offering additional services and support.
Even better is a social enterprise which aims to ‘level the playing field on mental health’ and offers mental health support through its service Listening Ear, where residents can talk to volunteers in order to talk about their mental health, vent about issues and just feel generally listened to.
The service, which runs out of Bilton Hall, in Jarrow, has now expanded to offer a dedicated community connector, who will help those struggling find support they might not have otherwise known was available.
As well as this, the group are also launching a building based service from Jarrow Focus, which will be run by people who have previously had mental health issues, to help people going through the same struggles.
Alex Adams, Administrator at Even Better, believes the need for mental health services in the community is vital right now.
He said: “There's a lot of need right now for mental health services with the cost of living crisis and also the repercussions of lockdown and Covid, which still has a big effect on people. We’re able to put our services together to help and support people.
“We’ve had some great feedback from our members who say how much we’ve been able to help and how our community based approach has benefited them. I think there’s a mental health crisis at the minute so having services like this in the community is vital.”
During lockdown, Even Better worked remotely, meaning residents could have a rant, talk about their problems and be heard from a safe environment during the difficult times.
The services are targeted at people in Jarrow but also available to those in the surrounding areas.

The European Union's Digital Markets Act will radically change how large U.S. technology companies such as Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) are regulated. The regulation goes beyond trying to ensure competition and attempts to supervise the businesses of so-called "gatekeeper" digital platforms such as the App Store. If the Act is successfully enforced, Apple's carefully constructed "walled garden" of iOS will be demolished. Apple should act before the EU does.
It's difficult to convey just how radical and unprecedented the Digital Markets Act (DMA) is. It was passed by the European Parliament, the legislative body of the European Union (EU) on July 5. A few days ago it was given final approval by the European Council, made up of the heads of states of the EU member countries.
The reaction in the Apple tech media has been quite muted. For instance, Malcolm Owen of Apple Insider described the DMA this way:
The DMA goes after "gatekeepers" of large online platforms, such as Apple's management of the App Store and Messages. The rules aim to make the business environment as fair for all parties, by forcing gatekeepers into various concessions, such as making Apple's Messages platform work with third-party services.
For the App Store, the rules can force Apple to provide more marketing or advertising performance data to developers, allow third-party payment platforms to be used, and to prevent Apple from ranking its own apps above others in relevant App Store searches.
Well, it's going to do a lot more than that. I've read the full 81 pages of the DMA and I went through it in some detail in a recent article for Rethink Technology subscribers. In this article, I'll provide a top-level summary.
One of the radical departures of the DMA from traditional competition regulation is that it's not enough for a company to have competition. The authors of the regulation more or less acknowledge that companies such as Apple have competition. Under the DMA, a company's market position must also be "contestable". What does this mean? It's never really formally defined, but apparently, it means that a smaller company should be able to compete effectively against a much larger company, despite lacking the resources, technology, or market clout to do so.
How does one arrange this? By putting the large technology companies under very close, proactive supervision by EU competition regulators. By setting forth a set of "obligations" that the companies must comply with in advance. And by exacting very onerous penalties for "bad behavior".
The DMA confers enormous power on the European Commission Department of Competition, headed by Margrethe Vestager. The Competition Department authored the legislation.
Normally, competition regulators only interfere with a company's business after a violation has been legally established in court. Not in the EU, as this quote from the EU announcement of the DMA attests:
"The purpose of the digital single market is that Europe gets the best companies and not just the biggest. This is why we need to focus on the legislation's implementation. We need proper supervision to make sure that the regulatory dialogue works." - Andreas Schwab (EPP, Germany), Leading MEP on the Digital Markets Act.
It's clear that the intent of the DMA is to foster European competition with the large U.S. technology companies such as Apple, Google (GOOG), and Amazon (AMZN). In the name of "leveling the playing field" it does exactly the opposite. The smaller (European) companies will be completely free of the regulation and supervision imposed on the larger (American) companies.
The DMA focuses on "supervising" so-called "digital gatekeepers". These are companies that control online digital platforms that offer a wide array of products and services, such as the three companies mentioned above. Another radical departure of the DMA is that it asserts the power to regulate these online stores in much the same way that broader commerce is regulated within the EU.
In this context, the gatekeeper company is considered a "monopolist" of its own store, and inherently abusive and anti-competitive. Thus, it must be closely supervised. To see how strange a concept this is, imagine a department store owner being regulated in this way by Federal competition regulators.
The regulators barge into the store, tell the store owner what products to offer, what prices to charge, and may even require the store owner to allow competitors to set up stores-within-a-store to sell goods in competition with the store owner. All in the name of "fairness" and "contestability".
The DMA sets forth various technical criteria for determining a "gatekeeper", but suffice it to say that Apple will be designated a "gatekeeper" for its iOS (and iPadOS and watchOS) App Stores.
Unlike macOS, Apple goes out of its way to make the downloading and installing of apps outside of the App Store very difficult. It's not impossible, and courts have ruled that it's not illegal, but it is very difficult. Apple's "walled garden" has numerous benefits, including greater security, better quality assurance, and ease of app installation, yet many people find it objectionable.
The walled garden seems particularly to have aroused the ire of EU regulators, and the App Store is clearly in the cross-hairs of the DMA. The text of the DMA is very technical, but it contains a number of introductory paragraphs that explain its provisions. Here's the paragraph that applies to the App Store:
The rules that the gatekeepers set for the distribution of software applications may in certain circumstances restrict the ability of end users to install and effectively use third party software applications or software application stores on operating systems or hardware of the relevant gatekeeper and restrict the ability of end users to access these software applications or software application stores outside the core platform services of that gatekeeper. Such restrictions may limit the ability of developers of software applications to use alternative distribution channels and the ability of end users to choose between different software applications from different distribution channels and should be prohibited as unfair and liable to weaken the contestability of core platform services. [Bold face mine.]
From my reading of the DMA, I believe that the macOS model would be considered the desirable alternative to the current iOS App Store. MacOS has an App Store, and Apple controls it in much the same way that it controls the iOS App Store. But at the same time, macOS users are free to download and install third-party content independent of the macOS App Store. MacOS XCode APIs provide for the creation of app installation packages that are readily downloaded and installed by the user.
Any arguments that Apple might make that the current restrictions of the iOS App Store are essential for iOS security are undermined by the existence of macOS. The fact that macOS provides Mac devices with reasonable, if not optimal, security, provides an existence proof that App Stores and sideloading can coexist.
In some of the articles I've read about the DMA, there seems to be some doubt about whether it really would mandate sideloading in some form. And the reader may suspect that my interpretation of the above paragraph from the DMA is overly negative. But keep in mind what the intent is.
The intent of the DMA is to weaken the dominant position of the gatekeeper platforms. EU regulators will certainly see mandating side loading as the best way to weaken the App Store.
Imposing the Mac model on iPhone and iPad would almost certainly be devastating for their respective App Stores. Large software developers such as Microsoft (MSFT) and Adobe (ADBE) would almost certainly abandon the App Store altogether. Large game developers would as well, preferring to join or set up their own game app stores. Mostly the developers who would be left on the platform would be those making less than $1 million a year in revenue, for which Apple's commission has already been lowered to 15%.
But what exactly is the App Store's contribution to Services revenue? Apple doesn't say, and one sees various numbers bandied about. For instance, CNBC published an article claiming that the App Store "grossed more than $64 billion in 2020". However, that's gross receipts of the store of which Apple would at most receive about 30%, its maximum commission, or about $19.2 billion.
To arrive at a more current estimate, I start with Sensor Tower's estimate that the App Store had gross receipts of $41.4 billion in the first half of calendar 2021 (fiscal 2021 Q2 and Q3). Assuming the 30% maximum commission puts the Apple App Store revenue for those quarters at $12.42 billion.
Total services revenue for fiscal Q2 and Q3 was $34.387 billion, making the App Store 36% of Services revenue. Taking the 36% as a good general figure, then App Store revenue in fiscal 2021 was $24.63 billion. As a percent of total revenue, it was about 6.7% in fiscal 2021.
Assuming the same proportion of European revenue, then the App Store in Europe generated about $6.01 billion in fiscal 2021. If Apple could somehow limit its "obligations" to the European market, then the most that Apple would have to lose is some large fraction of the $6.01 billion.
But creating two different versions of iOS and iPadOS for Europe and the rest of the world would be problematic both technically and legally. The European versions would have to be based on the Mac model, since I doubt that anything less would be acceptable to the European Commission.
But even if sales of the European version were restricted to Europe, Euro-spec units would undoubtedly leak out to users desiring the features of the Euro versions. It would be difficult for Apple to confine the Euro versions to Europe.
Also, there's the question of how Apple would comply with EU regulations for U.S. spec devices carried into the EU by travelers. Would such devices be required to comply with EU regulations while in the EU?
The difficulties of maintaining EU and non-EU device versions might be such that it would not make sense to maintain a non-EU version with the traditional App Store restrictions.
Thus, if Apple acceded to EU "obligations" for the iPhone and iPad, it might be impossible for Apple not to provide such devices to all users globally. It's not just the European App Store that's at stake, it's the global App Store.
Apple will certainly fight the legislation, but it will almost certainly lose. The Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) which serves as a sort of constitution for the EU, allows very broad latitude concerning the regulation of commerce within the EU.
Basically, anything goes as long as the EU members can agree on it, and they already have agreed on the DMA. The DMA expresses a certain hostility within the EU towards big U.S. technology companies and towards American big business in general.
There's not much that Apple can do about that. The penalties authorized by the DMA are far greater than what the App Store is worth, on a global basis, so Apple can't afford to just ignore the regulations and pay the fines. It may take a few years, but the end of the walled garden is coming.
And I can't really feel that bad about it, even as an Apple investor, even with the loss of App Store revenue. If I ask myself honestly, which would I rather have for my iPhone, the current App Store restrictions or the more open macOS model, I would rather have the macOS option.
And I think most users would rather have the freedom offered by the macOS model, if the choice were offered to them. So, iPhones and iPads configured on the macOS model might be more appealing to consumers and win over more users of alternative operating systems such as Windows and Android.
The EU's imposition of this "obligation" on Apple, as annoying as it is, may have a silver lining. With the global smartphone market growing very slowly, Apple's growth increasingly depends on attracting switchers from the more open platforms. A good way to do that would be for Apple to go back to its roots and embrace the openness of the macOS model.
So I say, Mr. Cook, tear down this walled garden, before the EU does it for you. I remain long Apple and rate it a Hold.
Consider joining Rethink Technology for in depth coverage of technology companies such as Apple.

ITV have not officially confirmed the Love Island spin-off yet, though an insider has uncovered the details of the show to The Sun.
They stated: “This show will give those who settled down young a second chance at love while they still feel in their prime.
“Let’s face it, they know their minds, will be capable of intelligent conversation and are likely to be much more adventurous — all ingredients regular Love Island sometimes lacks.”
The series’ working title is reportedly Your Mum, My Dad, with the aim of it airing in 2023 after filming commences later this year.
How old do you have to be on middle-aged Love Island?
The show will be tailored for people in their 40s and 50s, particularly looking at single parents that are hoping for another chance at love.
The source explained: “Times change and the current generation in their 40s and 50s still care about how they look, are fit and healthy, into fashion and are ready to let their hair down.”
It isn’t clear if people can be slightly younger or older than that estimate, but already those ages would make the series very different from the original show.
What other Love Island spin-offs are there?
Along with this proposed middle-aged spin-off, Winter Love Island is set to return in 2023 as well.
ITV announced that the second season of the South African-based show will begin airing in the New Year, meaning there is just a few short months to wait.
The first season aired in 2020 with Paige Turley and Finn Tapp winning that year. | https://www.dailystar.co.uk/tv/love-island-middle-aged-works-27550475 | 2022-07-22T12:21:09Z | https://www.dailystar.co.uk/tv/love-island-middle-aged-works-27550475 | false | 1 |

A Louisiana mother and her two children were among the four people killed in a Boulder County plane crash on Sunday, the family said Thursday. The fourth person was the pilot.
Sandra Kirby, 48, and her children, Ian, 17, and Amanda, 13, were visiting Colorado on a summer vacation, said Ella Bordelon, also of Louisiana and an extended family member.
Bordelon said that she was notified Wednesday night when local Louisiana authorities, along with a chaplain, came to her home with notification of the fatal crash. Bordelon is the girlfriend of Kirby’s former husband, who is the father of the children.
“We were here and we didn’t know anything,” Bordelon said. “We had no idea.”
Kirby worked as a secretary at Louisiana State University, Bordelon said. Ian would be starting his senior year of the high school in the fall and Amanda was going into the eighth grade.
“It’s a virtual shock to us,” Bordelon said.
As of Thursday morning, the Boulder County Coroner’s Office had not yet officially released the names of the victims, including the pilot.
The Cessna P337 crashed under unknown circumstances in the 11000 Block of Lefthand Canyon Drive, the Federal Aviation Administration said in a report on the agency’s website. The aircraft was listed as “destroyed,” with one member of the flight crew and three passengers killed.
The plane, built in 1972, was registered to Broomfield-based VX Aviation LLC, according to FAA records. The Colorado Secretary of State’s Office, though, shows that the company, established in 2015, has a Palisade mailing address.
The crash sparked a small wildfire that burned about a half acre before firefighters managed to get it under control. | https://www.timescall.com/2022/07/21/boulder-county-plane-crash-family-killed/ | 2022-07-22T12:30:46Z | https://www.timescall.com/2022/07/21/boulder-county-plane-crash-family-killed/ | false | 3 |
Japan warned of escalating national security threats stemming from Russia’s war on Ukraine and China’s tensions with Taiwan in an annual defence paper, as Japan tries to bolster its military capability and spending.
The annual defence white paper, approved by Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s Cabinet on Friday, highlights the need for Japan’s military build-up to address security concerns and seeks to gain public support for a stronger military and increased budget, which Mr Kishida’s governing party aims to double in coming years.
The report comes months ahead of a revision to Japan’s national security strategy that is expected to include a pre-emptive strike capability, which critics say would go beyond the limitations of Japan’s pacifist constitution.
China, Russia and North Korea top Japan’s security concerns in the 500-page report. Defence Minister Nobuo Kishi, in a statement in the report, said the Indo-Pacific region is “at the centre” of international strategic competition.
The report calls Russia’s war on Ukraine a “serious violation of international law” and raises “concerns that the effects of such unilateral changes to the status quo by force may extend to the Indo-Pacific region”.
Strategic competition between states has intensified amid a changing global power balance and is “further complicated by factors such as China’s broad and rapid military build-up,” the report said.
The paper doubled its contents on Taiwan from a previous edition last year. It raised concerns over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and its impact on Asia, possibly setting a precedent for what may happen between China and Taiwan.
The report noted growing tension between Washington and Beijing over Taiwan, as the US continues to send warships through the Taiwan Strait and sell arms to Taipei, while Chinese warplanes have increasingly entered Taiwanese airspace.
China claims self-governing Taiwan as its own territory to be annexed by force if necessary.
Tokyo is also concerned about China’s “relentless” unilateral attempts to change the status quo “by coercion” near the Japanese-controlled East China Sea island it calls Senkaku, which Beijing also claims and calls the Diaoyu.
China aims to build a “world-class military” and has been ramping up the fusion of military and civilian resources, the report said.
In a new chapter devoted to Russia’s war on Ukraine, the report said Russia’s international isolation and fatigue from the war may increase the importance of Moscow’s political and military cooperation with China.
The report said military cooperation between the two countries should be closely watched because it could have a “direct impact” on Japan’s security.
China and Russia are stepping up joint operations and exercises involving their warships and military aircraft around Japan, while Beijing is threatening to use force over Taiwan and escalating regional tensions, Mr Kishi said.
Beijing criticised the Japanese defence paper, saying it exaggerated China’s military threat and interfered with China’s internal policy with Taiwan, and repeated its claim over the disputed East China Sea islands.
“We urge Japan to stop hyping the security threats in its neighbourhoods to justify its own military build-up,” said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin.
The report comes as Mr Kishida’s government pledges to bolster Japan’s military capability and budget under a revised national security strategy and basic defence guidelines that are planned for release later this year.
Mr Kishida’s governing Liberal Democratic Party has called for doubling Japan’s military spending to 2% of its GDP, in line with the NATO standard, to about 10 trillion yen (£60.7 billion) over the next five years.
Recent media surveys showed the majority of the Japanese public support increased defence spending and deterrence, including possessing pre-emptive strike capability. | https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/world-news/2022/07/22/japan-warns-of-rising-global-tension-in-wake-of-russia-china-military-ties/ | 2022-07-22T12:33:00Z | https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/world-news/2022/07/22/japan-warns-of-rising-global-tension-in-wake-of-russia-china-military-ties/ | false | 18 |
Elvis Presley did 'not' steal Big Mama Thornton's song
ELVIS PRESLEY has been accused in the past of stealing one of his biggest-selling songs to date from the lesser-known Black performer Big Mama Thornton. Now, the writer of the song has denied this claim.
Elvis Presley performs ‘Hound Dog’ in 1956
Overnight the news broke that actress Shonka Dukureh was found dead in her apartment. The 44-year-old singer most recently starred on the big screen as Big Mama Thornton in the Elvis Presley biopic from Baz Luhrmann - Elvis.
The real-life woman she portrayed also had a tragic and early death after suffering "heart and liver disorders" aged 57-years-old. She was also a lifelong alcoholic.
She was a big star in her own right, however, as she has been noted as the original singer of Elvis' enormous pop hit: Hound Dog.
Elvis recorded and released Hound Dog back in 1956, just before his fame exploded into the worldwide phenomenon fans know today.
But four years prior, in 1952, Big Mama Thornton recorded her own version of Hound Dog.
The song was originally penned by writers Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller.
The latter recently appeared on an episode of the Rolling Stone Podcast where he recalled Elvis' version hitting the airwaves.
Stoller maintained that Elvis "did not" steal the song from Big Mama Thornton.
Instead, he claimed that Elvis was instead inspired by the group Freddie Bell and the Bellboys.
In his recording, he used their musical and lyrical changes, proving that it was not Big Mama Thornton's original version that spurred him on in the first place.
And Elvis' version has gone down in history as it sold more than 10 million copies around the world.
Despite this, Stoller maintained that Big Mama Thornton's version was far superior.

Stoller said Elvis' version of the song was not as exciting as Big Mama Thornton's.
He said: "It didn’t have the groove that Big Mama’s record had, which was fantastic."
Stoller and Leiber had a soft spot for Big Mama Thornton.
They saw her singing in the early 1950s and instantly fell in love with her voice.

The story goes that Leiber and Stoller wrote Hound Dog for Big Mama Thornton "just 15 minutes" after seeing her perform on stage.
"I don’t remember exactly what the song was," Stoller recalled. "But she knocked us out."
Although they had a great reverence for Big Mama Thornton, they went on to work with Elvis even more during the following years.
Stoller and Leiber wrote a number of big songs for Elvis over the years.
Not only did they write You're So Square and Trouble, but they also penned Jailhouse Rock for the singer.
Their effect on the music industry can even be felt today.
Leiber and Stoller's Hound Dog has been sampled in Doja Cat's song Vegas, which was released this year. | https://www.express.co.uk/entertainment/music/1644423/elvis-presley-hound-dog-big-mama-thornton-stole-stolen | 2022-07-22T12:35:58Z | https://www.express.co.uk/entertainment/music/1644423/elvis-presley-hound-dog-big-mama-thornton-stole-stolen | false | 1 |

Despite 33% surge in risk of general anxiety and 12% rise in stress February – May 2022; June saw general anxiety risk tumble 39% and stress fall 15%
SAN FRANCISCO and WASHINGTON, July 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- For many, sun, sand, and sea breezes are the antidote to stress and anxiety. Recent findings from the Q2 2022 Mental Health Index: U.S. Worker Edition support the notion that summertime fun is good for your mental health. From February – May 2022, stress levels went up 12%, risk of general anxiety rose 33%, and risk of PTSD jumped 57% amid growing inflation, a declining stock market, a seemingly unending war in Ukraine and the emergence of the stealth BA.2 omicron variant. Yet, despite ongoing health, economic and social chaos, June data shows a markedly different story. In June, stress levels dropped 15%; risk of general anxiety plummeted 39%; and risk of PTSD plunged 31%. Further, February – May 2022 saw a 42% swell in risk of social anxiety with a subsequent 22% drop in June.
"Total Brain has been monitoring U.S. workers' mental health for more than three years," noted Matthew Mund, CEO, Total Brain. "There is an interesting pattern of mental health improvements each June likely induced by a vacation state of mind. Subsequently, we see a decline in mental health assessment scores in September – the dreaded "back-to-school" season. So, while we are cautiously optimistic based on the data in June; history tells us that people need to be prepared for emotional and cognitive declines come fall. Their ability to assess and monitor their mental health is more important than ever."
The Mental Health Index: U.S. Worker Edition, powered by Total Brain, a mental health monitoring and support platform, is distributed in partnership with the National Alliance of Healthcare Purchaser Coalitions, One Mind at Work, and the HR Policy Association and its American Health Policy Institute.
Margaret Faso, director, Health Care Research and Policy of HR Policy Association said, "Despite improvements in the index results employers recognize improving mental health is not a linear process. Maintaining flexible work policies that help reduce both stress and anxiety and improve employee satisfaction will remain key priorities for HR executives."
"The data reinforces how critical the benefits of collective periods of recovery are to the emotional wellbeing of our workforce," said Michael Thompson, National Alliance president and CEO. "This downtime pays huge dividends in improved effectiveness and engagement of the people who we rely on to drive results in our organizations."
Christina McCarthy, executive director of One Mind at Work said, "We are seeing employers move to a longer-term response to COVID, and at an employee level the summer offers more opportunities to take breaks or maybe even go on vacation. However, we anticipate that the impacts of COVID in terms of stress and anxiety will remain for many and urge employers to continue to take this moment in time to review and adjust their mental health strategies to provide even better support for mental health."
The full Q2 2022 Mental Health Index results can be found here. For additional insights, there will be a complimentary 30-minute webinar on Friday, July 22 at noon Eastern. Register here.

The thriving subscription economy is creating new entrepreneurial miracles.
BEIJING, July 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Edianyun, a leading technology-enabled office IT service provider in China, recently submitted its completed application forms to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for listing on the HKEx Main Board. According to business consulting firm Frost & Sullivan, Edianyun is the first and largest technology-enabled office IT service provider in China.
What is the driving force behind its rapid growth and expansion as well as the flourishing of technology-enabled office IT service?
There are three pillars that bolster the development of Edianyun's office IT services:
Remanufacturing capabilities and technologies
By the end of 2021, Edianyun owned the largest remanufacturing factory in China, with a remanufacturing capacity of over 600,000 sets of computers. By leveraging its cutting-edge remanufacturing technologies, Edianyun can extend the service life of devices from an average of 3 years to 7-10 years, greatly boosting utilization efficiency.
Edianyun has also standardized the remanufacturing processes and chip-level precise repair technologies to optimize production, reduced the average timespan of remanufacturing processes to less than 10 days, and the average remanufacturing cost to less than RMB 100 per set.
Efficient self-developed system of operations (Nebula system)
Edianyun's self-developed Nebula system integrates services, devices and information, and connects the front-end and back-end operations that allow to efficiently manage devices on a large scale, handle complexity demands of business management, and provide timely customer service.
Remarkably high customer retention
Through a series of competitive self-developed technologies, Edianyun has established the technological strengths that anchor remarkably high customer retention rate. For 2019 and 2020, Edianyun achieved net dollar retention rate of 133.8% and 110.6%, respectively. As of September 30, 2021, that figure was 124.2%. The consistently high levels of customer retention indicate strong customer stickiness.
For 2019, 2020 and first three quarters in 2021, the recorded revenues of RMB632 million, RMB813 million and RMB838 million respectively, with corresponding gross margins of 38%, 41.4% and 48.4%. Edianyun's pay-as-you-go office IT services, the business sector from which generates primary revenue, accounted for 85.4% of total revenue for the year ended September 30, 2021. As of September 30, 2021, adjusted net profit amounted to RMB 74.9 million, turning losses into profits. This cannot be achieved without the brand loyalty and customer appreciation with comprehensive services. The excellent financial results are also owed to high customer stickiness and extensive coverage of golden customers from SMEs of various market segments.
The business enjoys promising prospects, especially when compared with a market penetration rate of 60.0% in terms of the number of devices in the United States in 2020, the usage-based office IT services industry in China has a penetration rate of merely 2.1%. And yet, the market size of usage-based office IT industry is expected to reach RMB 29.2 billion by 2025, representing enormous growth potential.

Prince Harry Secures Bid to Challenge U.K. Government on Security Arrangements
ROYAL VICTORY
Prince Harry has won the right to bring a legal challenge against the British government over his U.K. security arrangements. The Duke of Sussex is fighting against a decision prohibiting him from paying for police protection for himself and his family when visiting his homeland from California. His complaint hinged on an argument that the government committee that made the decision was not impartial in that the queen’s top aide, Sir Edward Young, was involved. Harry’s lawyer, Shaheed Fatima, said it had not been “appropriate” for any member of the royal household to have had a hand in the decision, particularly after the duke had been assured the committee was “independent.” The legal case also revealed what Harry described as “significant tensions” between himself and Sir Edward. | https://www.thedailybeast.com/prince-harry-secures-bid-to-challenge-uk-government-on-security-arrangements | 2022-07-22T12:39:15Z | https://www.thedailybeast.com/prince-harry-secures-bid-to-challenge-uk-government-on-security-arrangements | true | null |

from DANAI MWARUMBWA in Harare, Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe Bureau
HARARE, (CAJ News) – THE African Development Fund (AfDB) has approved a grant of US$25,65 million to help Zimbabwe enhance domestic food production and supply.
Drawn from the Transition Support Facility (TSF), the funds are to assist the Southern African country mitigate against a possible food crisis.
Although the board provided a waiver, Zimbabwe is in debt and in arrears and therefore is ineligible for TSF resources.
On July 15, the African Development Fund, the concessional arm of the African Development Bank (AfDB) Group, granted the country an exemption from debt-related eligibility criteria, given the severity of its circumstances.
Leila Mokaddem, the bank’s Director General in Southern Africa, said the project aims to mitigate the food insecurity situation in Zimbabwe, which results from a poor agriculture season due to rainfall deficits and the impacts of the Russia/Ukraine conflict.
“The conflict has contributed to a sharp rise in commodity prices, including food and farm inputs, such as fertilizer and seed,” Mokaddem said.
“This project is in line with the Bank’s Zimbabwe strategy to support the private sector and agriculture productivity and sustainability as well as developing related value chains.”
Support to Zimbabwe falls under the AfDB’s $1,5 billion African Emergency Food Production Facility, a response to the global crisis that has deepened shortages in many African countries.
The World Food Programme has identified Zimbabwe as one of 20 countries globally that need the most urgent support due to rainfall deficits that cut 2022 cereal production.

Which portable generator is best for tailgating?
Not everyone needs electricity for a tailgating party, but for those who want to make the most out of their experience, a small and convenient generator can do the trick. Whether you need the power to string some lights, use a slow cooker, listen to music, run a space heater, plug in a coffee maker or even set up a TV to watch some pregame highlights, there is a generator to meet your needs.
Before choosing the best model for your tailgating style, you’ll want to consider some key factors such as fuel type, power, noise and important features.
What to know before choosing a tailgating generator
Gas-powered vs. battery-powered
The first step is to decide whether you’ll need a gas-powered portable generator or a battery-powered generator.
Gas-powered options usually offer significantly more power and won’t quit on you as long as you keep adding fuel. They do, however, produce exhaust fumes and create much more noise than battery-powered generators.
Battery-powered and solar-powered models are quiet, better for the environment and require little maintenance when compared to their gas counterparts. However, you won’t receive as much power to run certain devices or equipment, and the lifespan of your battery will be somewhat limited. For solar-powered generators, their functionality is dependent on access to the sun.
Wattage
Once you know what appliances and devices you’ll want to plug into your generator, you can calculate the total wattage you’ll need to adequately power your tailgating setup. It is always a smart idea to choose a portable generator with a slightly higher wattage rating than you think you’ll need.
Size
Seeing as you’ll be needing to transport your portable generator to and from your tailgating site, choose a model that isn’t too large or heavy to move from place to place. Larger models may come equipped with wheels, but can be harder to fit in your vehicle.
Noise
Gas-powered generators produce more noise than battery-powered or solar options. If you don’t want to listen to the sound of the motor running all day long, look for a quiet model. Quieter options are also less likely to disturb others nearby.
Safety
Always be sure to read all safety instructions and guidelines before using a portable generator. Gas-powered generators should not be used indoors or in confined areas. You should also be careful not to overload your generator by plugging in more devices than it can handle.

Amber Heard’s latest legal move post-losing defamation lawsuit against Johnny Depp has sparked a massive debate on Twitter.
The Aquaman actor filed a motion to appeal the verdict in the blockbuster lawsuit that awarded Depp $15 million.
Reacting to the news, one Twitter user wrote, “Now, if Amber Heard can afford an appeal (even minus the bond) why couldn’t she afford to pay the charities? Is her insurance still paying dispute the malice aspect? And why if she just wanted to move on, is she the one not moving on? Many questions here."
"Amber heard deserves jail time for perjury. She lies about everything and STIFFED THE SICK AND DYING KIDS OF THE LA CHILDREN HOSPITAL but has money from insurance to pay for her appeal? What's more important? #AmberHeardDeservesJustice #JohnnyDeppKeepsWinning" read another tweet.
A third user noted, “Jury awards Johnny Depp $10.35M in damages… An insurance co. is suing to be absolved of over $8M in legal fees due to “willful misconduct”… Today an appeal was filed, which could take up to a year or more to conclude… So where is Amber Heard getting the money for all this?" | https://www.geo.tv/latest/429190-amber-heard-sparks-money-debate-on-twitter-with-appeal-in-court | 2022-07-22T12:44:35Z | https://www.geo.tv/latest/429190-amber-heard-sparks-money-debate-on-twitter-with-appeal-in-court | false | 1 |

ITV Love Island fans have spotted a feud between Danica and Indiyah. Fans are accusing the OG islander of disliking Danica - saying she rolled her eyes after Danica returned from her date with new bombshell Jamie Allen.
Danica and Jamie smooched on the date last night. But fans are saying Indiyah looked less than pleased for Danica when she got back to the villa.
Jamie told Danica after pulling her for a chat: "I just wanted to pull you quick because, even before coming in here you would have been the girl that I would have come in here to get to know the most."

Later, during a game of truth or dare, Jamie was asked to kiss the girl he fancies most as he shared a steamy snog with Danica. When dared to do a lap dance for the boy she is most attracted to, Danica performed a cheeky routine for Jamie.
"Why did Indiyah make that face when Jamie kissed Danica. Like are you an hater or something? #LoveIsland," T asked on Twitter. Beth said: "Sorry what? Why did Indiyah pull that face whilst Danica got a kiss..? #LoveIsland "
Love Island continues on ITV2 and ITV Hub.

An influencer has moaned about the price of coffee in a local cafe - only to be left embarrassed when the owner got the last laugh. The coffee shop owner sent a brutal message in response.
victoria_devine on Instagram has 44k followers. She recently hit out at being charged £7 for two small coffees at a local cafe near to where she lives.
Victoria runs the She's On the Money and wrote: "My favourite cafe re-opened with new owners so now two tiny coffees cost $12." But the owner had the last laugh.

They savagely replied: "Predictable. Our pricing is a reflection of our talent, not your budget." They then added: "Best you find yourself another local!"
They added: "There is a 7/11 nearby that does $1 coffees? Otherwise, get a real job that pays properly so you can afford the good things in life."
They added: "I love this. The funniest thing is that you genuinely think that people care for your opinion." But the influencer's followers backed her.
"I can't wait to try my 7/11 coffee before I go and start my non real job," an Instagram user rushed to reply. And a second wrote: "I was looking forward to coming by, but the owner really soured that with their behaviour. Nobody else to blame but them."

It's a tough job but somebody has got to do it. And Cobh lady Cailin Tobin has certainly seen her horizons expand since she left Cork to take up a career as cabin crew with Emirates airlines, based in Dubai but flying all over the world.
Cailin, who also represented Cork and Ireland in the Miss Universe Pageant, moved to Dubai in 2019 after she found her "dream job" working for an international five-star airline based in the U.A.E. Emirates is one of the flagship carriers for the U.A.E with over 300 aircraft flying to 150 cities in 80 countries.
Here sharing her experience, Cailin writes about why she joined Emirates and how she has "new adventures" by visiting other incredible destinations, both as "part of her job and, during downtime":
Why I love ... Dubai
While Arabic is the national language, English is widely spoken, so there are never any language barriers. The Emiratis have a strong sense of family and like the Irish, they have a good sense of humor. They are very sociable and enjoy nothing more than sitting down together for a meal, and they enjoy music and storytelling, which very much chimes with our own Irish culture.
For me, while there is no place quite like home, Dubai is spectacular, and everyone should visit at least once in their lifetime. There is an abundance of things to see, do, to experience and quite honestly, a walk through the old streets of Dubai is an explosion of the senses. Every day is a new dawning and a new experience and right now, there is nowhere else I’d rather live.
Joining Emirates as a member of a cabin crew member was the reason I decided to head east for a new adventure that has also allowed me to visit other incredible destinations, both as part of my job and, during downtime.
My fellow crew members and I are incredibly lucky; from Dubai, we can take long weekends in the Seychelles or Maldives, which is just over four hours away. Sure, it would take me longer to drive from Dublin to Donegal for the Bank Holiday!
I benefit from a tax-free salary and Emirates provides me with a fantastic apartment, which I share with my lovely colleagues from Poland and UK. Emirates also arranges our transport to and from work and as an employee of the airline, we receive exclusive discounts for shopping and leisure attractions across the city. While it sounds like a cliché, it really is my dream job and I know that Emirates is looking to recruit more crew from Ireland; for some reason, the Irish seem to do really well in Dubai and we love it!
It's not difficult to explain why I love Dubai but the problem is knowing where to start. So perhaps I’ll go back in time with a visit to Deira and Bur Dubai – otherwise known as old Dubai.
A city of contrasts
While many people visit Dubai for the bright lights, tall buildings, and fabulous restaurants, I believe that a visit to Dubai isn’t complete without a trip to the more traditional districts of the city. Separated by the Dubai Creek, Bur Dubai, and Deira was once the commercial epicenter of Dubai.
This is a part of Dubai that often gets overlooked, but this is where you will find Dubai’s past right in the present – it is packed with culture and tradition and will give you a whole new perspective on the city.
Today you’ll still find dozens of dhows (trading boats) loading and unloading goods bound for Africa and India. Deira is buzzing with activity and is home to the famous gold and spice souks (markets) that line the streets and where bartering is a national sport. You can take an Abra (traditional Arabian boat taxi) across the Creek from Deira to Bur Dubai and back again for as little as €1.
Dine in the desert
A day in the desert is also a must when visiting Dubai. Trading the big bustling city for the barren stillness of the Arabian desert, it’s hard to believe both worlds are in such close proximity unless you see it for yourself - and the vista is spectacular.
There is some serious craic to be found in dune bashing across the sandy hills in a 4X4 or even sandboarding down the steep sandy banks that decorate the sparse terrain. For those wishing for an experience like no other, you can even take a hot air balloon ride and witness the stunning desert landscape from above. For more traditional fun, you can enjoy a camel ride or watch falcons put on a show as they fly high across the sand dunes before returning to their trainer’s arms.
Most tours finish off the day with an Arabian BBQ as the sun sets, serving up traditional dishes of spiced couscous, roast lamb, grilled chicken, chickpea salads, and flatbreads – a cuisine I have yet to tire of since moving here. You will leave the desert under a blanket of stars, the perfect end to the perfect day.
Dubai Marina
This luxury district is packed with trendy restaurants, cool cafés, bars, and shops and is a place I love to hang out when I’m not flying to another amazing destination. Skyscrapers are poised alongside the winding canal where extravagant yachts are moored up waiting for their next outing. You can spend hours walking the pedestrianized streets in this area of Dubai, so make sure to wear comfortable shoes!
Burj Khalifa
What travel article about Dubai would be complete without a mention of the Burj Khalifa, otherwise known as the jewel in the city’s skyline. Famous for being the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa dominates the cityscape and is located in one of my favorite parts of downtown Dubai – it is here where you will find the famous dancing Dubai Fountain, the Dubai Aquarium, Dubai Opera, and every shopaholic’s dream, the Dubai Shopping Mall.
As one of the main tourist hubs, this area is also packed with cafes and restaurants, which brings us on to our next topic – where to eat.
Eating out
Dubai is a food mecca and the options in terms of cuisine and price points are enormous. Enjoy a traditional Arabic Mezze in old Dubai or dine at the award-winning At. Mosphere restaurant, located on the 124th floor of the Burj Khalifa, while taking in the spectacular Arabian Gulf vista. The Dubai Marina offers a vast selection of the newest and most stylish hotspots, together with an array of healthy eating, organic and vegan venues that have become really popular in recent years.
The restaurant scene in Dubai is really buzzing and many of the world’s best-loved chefs have opened restaurants here. You can go on your own culinary journey across the world just by visiting Dubai, such is the selection of international cuisines to choose from. The Dubai Food Festival, which usually takes place in February is a great time to visit and features amazing food experiences, dining tours, chefs’ tables, and masterclasses. When it comes to dining, formal or casual, Dubai does not disappoint and until September 30 th, all Emirates customers arriving in or stopping in Dubai can avail of discounts in hundreds of bars, restaurants, and cafés simply by presenting their Emirates boarding pass.

Getting around
Dubai operates a fantastic Metro system, which is unique as most of its rails are above ground, providing scenic views of some of Dubai’s most famous landmarks and iconic buildings. It is efficient, spotlessly clean, and a great value option for moving around the metropolis with ease. Taxis are inexpensive and plentiful.
Emirates held a Cabin Crew recruitment open day earlier in July in Cork as they searched for candidates to join their multinational cabin crew team. However, interested candidates can still check out information on careers here if they are looking to "deliver simple yet personalized and impeccable hospitality while creating memorable moments for its customers."

IPOH, July 22 — A four-vehicle pileup at at Kilometre 336.3 of the North-South Expressway (northbound), near Tapah, caused traffic congestion for about five kilometres on both directions this morning.
Tapah district police chief Supt Wan Azharuddin Wan Ismail said the crash occurred at 9.45am and involved a cement tanker, a four-wheel drive Toyota Hilux and two cars, an Audi and a Toyota Yaris.
He said preliminary investigation found that the cement tanker, which was heading south, suddenly crashed into the rear of the Toyota Hilux, and the impact caused the latter to hit into the rear of the Audi car.
“The impact also caused the tanker driver to lose control of the wheel, causing the vehicle to veer to the right side of the road and hit into the road divider before it skidded into the opposite lane and crashed into the Toyota Yaris, which was travelling on the opposite lane.
“The impact caused the tanker to skid into a drain on the opposite side of the expressway,” he said in a statement today.
Wan Azharuddin said the 28-year-old driver of the cement tanker and the drivers of the Audi car and Toyota Yaris, both aged 40, escaped injury in the incident.
However, the driver of the Toyota Hilux, whose identity could not be ascertained was injured on the head, he added. — Bernama | https://www.malaymail.com/news/malaysia/2022/07/22/four-vehicle-pileup-causes-five-km-traffic-jam-on-plus-expressway-near-tapah/18881 | 2022-07-22T12:49:03Z | https://www.malaymail.com/news/malaysia/2022/07/22/four-vehicle-pileup-causes-five-km-traffic-jam-on-plus-expressway-near-tapah/18881 | false | 2 |
Natural gas flow from Moscow to Europe has decreased to the lowest levels in the past four years, below 100 million cubic meters since the beginning of July from quantities ranging from 400 to 500 million cubic meters per day.
According to data from the International Energy Agency (IEA) and Ukraine transmission system operator, Europe imported 155 billion cubic meters of natural gas from Russia, corresponding to about 40% of the continent's natural gas consumption last year.
Russia, which sends natural gas to Europe via Ukraine, also transmits natural gas to Europe and Türkiye using the TurkStream, Nord Stream 1, Yamal and Blue Stream natural gas pipelines.
However, since the start of the war with Ukraine, its exports to Europe have dropped significantly from the highs seen in October 2019 of over 500 million cubic meters, IEA data confirms.
From Feb. 24 this year, with the start of Russian attacks in Ukraine, reduced flow transiting via Ukraine and a halt in transmission from the Nord Stream-2 natural gas pipeline, the decline accelerated and fell to 200 million cubic meters as of the end of May.
This flow further dropped to 100 million cubic meters at the beginning of July, marking an 80% plummet relative to the record highs of 500 million cubic meters.
The decrease in the capacity of the Nord Stream 1 pipeline was decisive in the decline in gas flow. Russia's Gazprom had warned on June 15 of reduced shipments through the pipeline, citing the non-return of technical equipment necessary for maintenance from Germany's Siemens company.
The pipeline, which can transmit 160 million cubic meters of gas per day, is only transmitting 65 million cubic meters of natural gas per day from July 21.
EUROPE CONTINUES ITS PLAN TO WEAN OFF RUSSIAN GAS SUPPLIES
Since Europe is highly dependent on Russian energy, the EU has accelerated efforts to diversify supplies and has sought alternatives by buying liquefied natural gas (LNG) and filling natural gas storage tanks where possible from the current 64% occupancy rate.
To this end, a memorandum of understanding was signed between the EU and Baku for more gas purchases from Azerbaijan to alleviate shortages over the winter season.
However, despite the nine LNG import terminals in Europe, the UK and Türkiye, Germany, one of the largest Russian gas importers, is unable to avail of these facilities because it only imports gas via pipeline.
The highest LNG import capacity in Spain of around 70 billion cubic meters has a limited gas transmission link to other European countries, notably France, which has no connection preventing transmission to other neighboring countries.
Although Germany has access to LNG terminals in the Netherlands, it is insufficient for the country's demand.
During former US President Donald Trump's term, the construction of an LNG import terminal came to the fore from US pressure on Germany, but the process was suspended due to financial reasons. After the war between Moscow and Kyiv, the issue resurfaced and Germany ultimately agreed to build LNG terminals.
To alleviate shortages, the EU demanded that all member countries reduce their gas consumption by 15% within the scope of the emergency plan it prepared against the possibility of interruption of natural gas flow from Russia on July 20.
However, Spain was the first to respond to this with a statement from the Spanish Environment Minister Teresa Ribera who said that, "no matter what happens, the gas and electricity of Spanish families will not be cut off. Whatever happens, Spain will defend the position of Spanish industry." | https://www.anews.com.tr/economy/2022/07/22/daily-gas-flow-from-russia-to-europe-at-lowest-in-last-4-years | 2022-07-22T12:49:15Z | https://www.anews.com.tr/economy/2022/07/22/daily-gas-flow-from-russia-to-europe-at-lowest-in-last-4-years | false | 1 |
