Russia’s macro health hides chronic deficiencies
Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com
LONDON, July 22 (Reuters Breakingviews) - The Kremlin has long rejected rumours about President Vladimir Putin’s health. Allaying concerns about the state of Russia’s $1.7 trillion economy is more of a challenge. Oil and gas exports and lower imports mean the rouble is strong, giving the central bank scope to further cut rates on Friday. But longer term, Moscow needs much more.
Predictions of the Russian economy’s immediate collapse have proven wrong. True, GDP contracted 4% year-on-year in May. But unemployment fell to a record low. High energy prices have seen European Union countries send $70 billion to Russia for fossil fuels since February. And a decline in imports gave Russia a record current account surplus, also of $70 billion, in the second quarter.
As with Russia’s last major crisis in 2014, central bank Governor Elvira Nabiullina’s deft monetary management has helped. In the wake of the invasion she doubled interest rates to 20% and instituted capital controls to prevent a run on the banks. The rouble has bounced against the U.S. dollar, enabling her to cut the main interest rate to 9.5%. On Friday she slashed it further to 8%.

The war in Ukraine has shifted Russia’s economy from stagnation to degradation, though. Even the central bank’s July survey of economists forecast a contraction of 6% this year and 1.3% next year, before returning to stagnant rates of growth in 2024 and beyond. Productivity will fall in the long term because sanctions are banning or discouraging the imports of machinery and technology that make production more efficient. Russia could redirect much of the 3 million barrels of oil a day that Europe will stop importing to China and India, but redirecting all the gas will be impossible without new pipelines.
To get the economy onto a steadier path, Russia will need to substitute imports with homemade goods and reverse the slump. But the prognosis isn’t great. Rebalancing requires investment and well-functioning markets, which Putin wasn’t able to achieve in his two decades in power, even when capital markets were buoyant. Corruption and scant respect for the rule of law have long slowed investment, and the war has also exacerbated Russia’s brain drain, leaving it with a poorer and less educated work force. No amount of nifty macro policy will fix those problems any time soon.

(The Hill) – Verizon is set to drop the right-wing One America News Network (OAN) from its channel lineup after the network and company failed to reach an agreement on a new contract.
Verizon said in a statement to The Hill that it will no longer have the rights to OAN after July 31, and the network will be removed from the television lineup.
“Our negotiation with OAN has been a typical, business as usual carriage negotiation like those that routinely happen between content distributors and content providers,” the statement reads.
Verizon said that the negotiations were based on economic considerations and that OAN did not agree to “fair terms.”
“Our company has long advocated for providing customers with the ability to choose what content they want to watch, and our Fios TV platform offers a wide and diverse choice of programming options, including a la carte options, that strive to meet our millions of customers’ various content needs and preferences,” Verizon said.
The development is a blow to OAN after DirecTV declined to renew its contract with the network in January. Verizon remained its largest distributor after the DirecTV contract expired, but OAN will now be left with more minor carriers.
OAN is also facing a lawsuit from Dominion Voting Systems over claims made on the network that the company’s voting machines were manipulated to support President Biden over former President Trump in the 2020 presidential election.
OAN did not immediately return a request from The Hill for comment. | https://www.wcia.com/news/national/oan-officially-dropped-by-verizon-its-last-major-carrier/ | 2022-07-22T12:54:26Z | https://www.wcia.com/news/national/oan-officially-dropped-by-verizon-its-last-major-carrier/ | false | 20 |

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.

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.
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. A senior U.S. defense official, who briefed reporters on condition of anonymity in line with department rules, said Thursday that Russia hasn’t yet taken out a single HIMARS system but it is likely it will “get lucky” and do so at some point.
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.
— The senior U.S. defense official said that the fight for Donetsk is “likely to last through the summer,” with Russia achieving slow gains at high cost. The official said that Russia is presently launching tens of thousands artillery rounds per day but has used a lot of “smarter munitions” and “can’t keep it up forever.”
— A city council member in Russia’s third-largest city was charged with disseminating false information about Russia’s armed forces and could face up to three years in prison if convicted. The criminal case against Novosibirsk council member Helga Pirogova was opened Friday, according to Russian state news agency RIA-Novosti. Investigators found that she “published deliberately false information under the guise of a reliable message containing data on the use of the Russian Armed Forces,” the report said, without giving further details. The independent Latvia-based news outlet Meduza that covers Russian news said the investigation began after a tweet by Pirogova criticizing “luxurious” funerals for Russians killed in Ukraine.

AIB will not proceed with the removal of cash services at 70 of its branches, the bank has said.
A spokesperson for AIB said the bank recognised the “customer and public unease” that was caused by its announcement earlier this week, and for that reason has decided not to go ahead with the move.
In a statement today (Friday, July 22), AIB explained that the initial plan to remove services from certain branches was promoted by a decrease in demand for cash services.
“In recent years, there has been a dramatic increase in the use of digital banking services and a decline in branch visits and cash usage.
“In AIB’s case, there are 2.9 million daily digital interactions compared with 35,000 customer branch visits. There has been a 36% decline in cash withdrawals from ATMs and a 50% fall in cheque usage over the past five years,” the AIB spokesperson said.
“AIB has also seen a fall of almost 50% in branch over-the-counter teller transactions, while mobile and online payments have increased by 85% in the same timeframe.”
AIB U-turn welcomed
AIB’s U-turn was welcomed by Minister for Finance, Paschal Donohoe, who said: “I note the significant public reaction to AIB’s announcement earlier this week and I welcome the bank’s decision not to proceed with the proposed changes to customer services in certain branches.
“Banks have a key role in maintaining the flow of cash through the economy and ensuring appropriate access to retail banking services for all in society, including the vulnerable,” he added.
“We have seen many changes to our banking sector in recent years, driven by factors including advances in technology and changing consumer demand.”
The minister also noted that a review of the retail banking sector is currently underway.
“It is against that background that I launched the Retail Banking Review to assess how the sector can be best positioned to meet current and future customer needs. I look forward to receiving the recommendations of the review later in the year,” he said. | https://www.agriland.ie/farming-news/aib-not-to-proceed-with-cash-services-withdrawal/ | 2022-07-22T12:56:52Z | https://www.agriland.ie/farming-news/aib-not-to-proceed-with-cash-services-withdrawal/ | true | 1 |
The man tasked with guiding the San Jose State football team back to its 2020 heights will be a familiar face to Spartans supporters.
After four years at Hawaii, quarterback Chevan Cordeiro transferred within the Mountain West to SJSU and will enter the season as the presumed starter. For Cordeiro, a fifth-year junior with an additional year of eligibility, San Jose already feels like home.
“The players here really took me in with open arms and they’re like family,” Cordeiro said. “It felt like my second home. Everyone is one big family, and when I played under (former Hawaii) coach Nick Rolovich (in 2018-19), that’s how it felt too.”
Cordeiro is set to succeed Nick Starkel, who led the Spartans to an undefeated regular season in 2020 and was a steady presence under center for two years. Nick Nash, now a senior, started last season when Starkel missed time with an arm injury, but the job this year is Cordeiro’s to lose.
The newcomer from Hawaii may not have the effortless arm talent Starkel displayed, but his athleticism and quickness will bring another dimension to coach Brent Brennan’s offense.
“Whatever a player’s skill set is, you’re going to apply that to what you’re cooking,” Brennan said. “He brings a fun and exciting skill set with his ability to throw, and when you combine that with his ability to move, you have something special.”
The fifth-year newcomer brings that unpredictability on the ground, but he insisted he is a passer who can drive the ball downfield and run an offense.
“I’m a playmaker,” Cordeiro said. “This summer I worked on my throwing mechanics so I can be more accurate, and spent a lot of time working on my pre-snap reads.”
In four seasons with the Rainbow Warriors, Cordeiro threw for 6,167 yards and 45 touchdowns against 22 interceptions, with the vast majority of that production coming over the past two seasons as the team’s primary starter. He also has chipped in 1,083 yards and 13 scores on the ground.
Spartans fans have seen Cordeiro’s versatility several times over the last three years.
He threw for 769 yards and five touchdowns and ran for three more scores in three games against San Jose State. Cordeiro’s best performance was in 2019, when he accounted for five total touchdowns in a 42-40 Hawaii win.
“Sometimes you want that guy to stand in there, and sometimes you want him to use his legs,” the coach said. “We’ll see how that plays as we get going.”
Backing up the transfer is the returning Nash. In three seasons as a backup and spot starter for the Spartans, he has thrown for 1,317 yards and 10 touchdowns.
But where Nash truly shines is as a runner, where he has scrambled for 844 yards and five touchdowns on 5.7 yards a pop. Even though he won’t be the team’s starter, Brennan said Nash “is definitely going to play and contribute.”
Cordeiro added, “Nick was pushing me all spring ball, and we were making each other better.”
Voters from around the conference recently predicted the Spartans will finish as a middle-of-the-pack team in the Mountain West. Both the quarterback and coach are confident the Spartans have what it takes to outperform their preseason projection, with their training camp starting the first week of August.
“We’re just excited to get going, brother. The players are excited and hungry, because last year was a very frustrating and tough season,” Brennan said. “They’ve been busting their tails all summer and I’m excited about where we’re at.”
“They’re mad about the last season, and everyone is putting in work even on their days off and weekends,” Cordeiro said.
However, it may not be the offense that gets San Jose State some early season wins. As they move into August camp, the Spartans’ strengths seem to be on the defensive side of the ball, where there is far more continuity than on offense.
Stalwarts such as Cade Hall (former Mountain West defensive player of the year), Viliami Fehoko (seven sacks last season) and Kyle Harmon (134 tackles) will be asked to hold things down while Cordeiro and a reworked offense try to find their footing.
“Every team leans to its strong suit a little bit, and I think going into this season you’d look on paper and say that strength is our defense,” Brennan said.
The Spartans expect to compete in the Mountain West. And to be winners, they will need Cordeiro to ascend into the upper echelon of MWC quarterbacks by the time their season starts against Portland State on Sept. 1.
“We’re ready to play whoever, no matter if they’re from a different division or the SEC,” Cordeiro said. “And the Mountain West is going to be tough, because there are no junk teams out here. We’re ready to win the tough games.” | https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2022/07/22/san-jose-state-banking-on-hawaii-transfer-cordeiro-to-bring-new-flavor-to-qb-position/ | 2022-07-22T12:57:59Z | https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2022/07/22/san-jose-state-banking-on-hawaii-transfer-cordeiro-to-bring-new-flavor-to-qb-position/ | true | 4 |
The pandemic is abating. Vaccination rates are soaring. Offices are reopening and employees are starting to return to work.
But what sort of workplaces are employees returning to?
The COVID-19 pandemic altered the whole gamut of the day-to-day human experience. More than anything in history, it also reshaped the future of work.
Companies had to scramble overnight to equip their employees to work from home. With the situation easing, companies are finding it challenging to get employees back to the office. The fact is, the way employees perceive work has changed. Therefore, while many aspects of our day-to-day lives, like socialising, eating out and so on might return to normal, the future of work has been reshaped. There will be no turning back the clock, and the finest talent will flock to the organisations that recognise and adapt to the post-pandemic reality.
But is it possible to define the post-pandemic workplace?
Unfortunately not. From the survey by Godrej Interio titled ‘Home, Office and Beyond’, the future of work is expected to be hybrid. The study stated that only 19% prefer at least three days of ‘Work From Home,’ while 32% prefer at least three days of ‘Work From Office.’ But it’s impossible to define a one-size-fits-all approach. Different companies have varied needs, they operate in different sectors and will accordingly have to adapt to the new normal in the way that works best for them. But one thing is for certain, the post-pandemic offices can no longer be the same old cubicle-style layouts. Offices, going forward, will have to be tech-rich active environments whose shape and form are derived from function.
Companies must get used to the fact that while some employees will be working from the office, some will be working from home. Spaces, like meeting rooms need to be designed in a way that makes those joining in from their homes feel included.
At the same time, for those in the office, architecture needs to be redesigned to make it more inviting. Workspaces need to be activity-based, giving employees a choice of set-up based on what they are working on. These could be focus rooms helping employees harness a burst of productivity, large spaces for brainstorming sessions or even meditation rooms for employees to de-stress. This also includes a choice of workstation set-ups, from the conventional sit-down desk to standing desks or moveable sit-stand desks such as the Move-up desk by Godrej Interio.
But over and above all, companies must place empathy at the core of return to work. Employees are prepared to take action in the pursuit of flexible work options, with 39 percent willing to negotiate with employers and 24 percent willing to switch jobs.
The pandemic has been a traumatic time for all of us. Companies need to be more human going forward. This approach could include hiring a full-time wellness officer, providing counselling sessions to employees free of cost, or even something as simple as supporting remote work by helping employees set up work stations, giving them tech support and educating them on the correct postures to adopt while they work from home.
The most crucial is to be adaptable. We are just emerging from arguably the most life-altering experience any of us has ever known. Nobody will have all the answers as we emerge from it. But, with empathy at its core, companies must keep an open mind and flexible approach when it comes to the future of work.

Is Invesco DB US Dollar Index Bullish ETF (UUP) a Strong ETF Right Now?
A smart beta exchange traded fund, the Invesco DB US Dollar Index Bullish ETF (UUP) debuted on 02/20/2007, and offers broad exposure to the Currency ETFs category of the market.
What Are Smart Beta ETFs?
The ETF industry has long been dominated by products based on market cap weighted indexes, a strategy created to reflect the market or a particular market segment.
A good option for investors who believe in market efficiency, market cap weighted indexes offer a low-cost, convenient, and transparent way of replicating market returns.
However, some investors believe in the possibility of beating the market through exceptional stock selection, and choose a different type of fund that tracks non-cap weighted strategies: smart beta.
Non-cap weighted indexes try to choose stocks that have a better chance of risk-return performance, which is based on specific fundamental characteristics, or a mix of other such characteristics.
Even though this space provides many choices to investors--think one of the simplest methodologies like equal-weighting and more complicated ones like fundamental and volatility/momentum based weighting--not all have been able to deliver first-rate results.
Fund Sponsor & Index
Because the fund has amassed over $1.96 billion, this makes it the largest ETF in the Currency ETFs. UUP is managed by Invesco. Before fees and expenses, UUP seeks to match the performance of the Deutsche Bank Long USD Currency Portfolio Index - Excess Return.
The Deutsche Bank Long USD Currency Portfolio Index - Excess Return is a rules-based index composed solely of long U.S. Dollar Index futures contracts that trade on the ICE futures exchange.
Cost & Other Expenses
Investors should also pay attention to an ETF's expense ratio. Lower cost products will produce better results than those with a higher cost, assuming all other metrics remain the same.
Operating expenses on an annual basis are 0.78% for UUP, making it one of the more expensive products in the space.

Ed Slater says he `will meet this challenge head-on´ after MND diagnosis
Ed Slater says he will “meet this challenge head-on” after being diagnosed with motor neurone disease.
The 33-year-old Gloucester lock announced his retirement from rugby with immediate effect on Thursday.
Gloucester set up a JustGiving page to raise £20,000 for Slater and his family. That target was passed within hours of its launch and on Friday afternoon stood at just under £44,000.
Slater, who featured in a number of England squads and represented England Saxons, joined Gloucester in 2017 following seven years with Leicester, where he served as club captain.
“I want to say Thank You to everyone for all your messages of support and generosity,” he said, on Twitter.
“It gives me and my family a huge amount of strength in a time of sadness for us.
“I will meet this challenge head-on. Ultimately I can’t win but I will fight with everything. Hope is not lost.
“I also want to add a thank you to @JillADouglas and @MNDoddie5 who have been a huge support. I’d also like to thank @mndassoc.
“Both are working to fight this disease for me and all my fellow battlers of MND as well as our loved ones.”
Gloucester have expressed gratitude for support received by the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation.
The foundation was set up by former Scotland and British and Irish Lions lock Doddie Weir, who revealed in June 2017 that he was suffering from MND.
Weir has been driven to help fellow sufferers and seek ways to further research into an, as yet, incurable disease.
Announcing Slater’s diagnosis on Thursday, Gloucester said: “Following six months of testing, Ed’s diagnosis was confirmed last week, and as a result, with the support of his family, friends and Gloucester Rugby, he has made the difficult decision to retire from professional rugby with immediate effect.
“Everyone at Gloucester Rugby – players, management and staff – are entirely committed to supporting Ed, his wife Jo and his three children in whatever way required.
“We know the same will be true of Gloucester and Leicester fans, and the wider rugby community.” | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-11039301/Ed-Slater-says-meet-challenge-head-MND-diagnosis.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-07-22T13:00:26Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-11039301/Ed-Slater-says-meet-challenge-head-MND-diagnosis.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true | 8 |
Low adherence associated with higher costs for payers
BOSTON, July 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Renovia Inc. (Renovia), a developer of non-surgical treatments for female pelvic floor disorders and an advocate for women's health, announced today that Neurourology and Urodynamics published two studies demonstrating low rates of documented adherence to treatment guidelines for female urinary incontinence (UI) care for women and the effect on payer costs. One study showed significantly higher costs for payers in the two years following diagnosis for women whose treatment claims did not align with published guidelines for female UI. A second study showed very low use of physical therapy (PT) for UI, a discipline commonly engaged in first-line care for UI.
Multiple professional societies and evidence-based guidelines recommend Pelvic Floor Muscle Training (PFMT) as a first-line treatment for female UI, a highly prevalent health condition affecting more than 60% of adult women in the U.S. UI is characterized by involuntary leakage of urine and classified into several subtypes. Stress UI (SUI) involves leakage with a physical stress such as sneezing, coughing, or physical exertion. Urgency UI (UUI) refers to the involuntary loss of urine associated with a sudden, compelling desire to pass urine which is difficult to defer. Mixed UI (MUI) is the complaint of symptoms of both SUI and UUI. Numerous studies show PFMT is an effective treatment for urinary incontinence and that PFMT, commonly referred to as Kegels, is challenging for women to implement effectively on their own.
In the study, "Adherence to Professional Society Guidelines Among Women with Stress or Mixed Urinary Incontinence," researchers found that most women with SUI and MUI did not receive documented PFMT and other behavioral interventions that are part of guideline-based first-line care for UI. In fact, less than eight percent of patients with SUI and MUI received a first-line behavioral treatment. The study determined that documented care not sequenced in adherence to guidelines increased payers' cost burden. Women who did not receive an initial intervention and appropriate care accrued significantly higher costs for healthcare payers over a two-year period following their UI diagnosis.
A second study, "Retrospective Claims Analysis of Physical Therapy Utilization among Women with Stress or Mixed Urinary Incontinence," showed that less than three percent of women diagnosed with SUI or MUI visited a physical therapist to treat their UI. Of that number, just 30 percent completed three or more PT visits, suggesting low use of PT for both initiation and completion of first-line UI care. UI clinical guidelines indicate first-line care should be nearly universal for all UI subtypes.
"The vast number of women who experience UI and the known effects on physical and mental health and quality of life mark this as a public health problem," Laura Keyser, PT, DPT, MPH, Senior Manager, Medical Affairs at Renovia and a study co-author. "Screening and treatment guidelines exist, yet clearly, these are not being implemented universally or to scale, and this has costs - both for women and for our health care system."
Thomas Goss, PharmD, Senior Vice President at Veranex (formerly Boston Healthcare Associates) and a study co-author added, "My colleagues, Manasi Datar, Ph,D,, Li-Chen Pan, M.P.H., and I were thrilled to partner with Renovia on these important studies. When we examined the healthcare resource use and cost burden of urinary incontinence to U.S. payers, we found UI-associated costs across the spectrum of care that are negatively impacting payers. These two additional studies build on that first study and begin to highlight factors that likely contribute to the increased costs associated with UI experienced by payers."
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), the American Urogynecologic Society (AUGS), the American Urological Association (AUA), and the Society of Urodynamics, Female Pelvic Medicine and Urogenital Reconstruction (SUFU), among others, recommend PFMT as a first-line intervention for UI. They have also developed evidence-based guidelines for the evaluation and treatment of female UI. The leva Pelvic Health System is an FDA-cleared, prescription digital therapeutic (PDT) that combines a small vaginal motion sensor with a smartphone app that guides a woman through PFMT, offering an easy, non-invasive, drug-free way for women to effectively strengthen their pelvic floor muscles to improve UI symptoms. leva requires just five minutes of training a day, which women can do at home, on their own schedule. In April 2022, Obstetrics and Gynecology (The Green Journal), published a randomized controlled superiority study showing that leva was statistically and clinically superior to Kegels alone for improving symptoms of stress and stress-dominant mixed urinary incontinence.
"Deviating from evidence-based evaluation and treatment guidelines for UI is common and costly," said Jessica McKinney, PT, DScPT, MS, Renovia's Vice President of Medical Affairs & Clinical Advocacy and a study co-author. "Adhering to these recommendations and incorporating evidence-based treatments are critical for women with UI, especially given its all-too-common and progressive nature. In addition to improving women's health and well-being, rigorous data show pelvic floor muscle training, including with the leva Pelvic Health System, can significantly improve patient outcomes and patient adherence, and may result in significant cost reductions for our healthcare system."
Neurourology and Urodynamics is the official journal of the Society of Urodynamics and Female Pelvic Medicine & Urogenital Reconstruction.
About the leva® Pelvic Health System
The leva Pelvic Health System offers a novel, non-invasive, medication-free way for women to train and strengthen their pelvic floor muscles—at home in just five minutes a day—to treat urinary incontinence (UI) and chronic fecal incontinence (FI). Combining a small FDA-cleared vaginal motion sensor connected to a smartphone app, leva offers precise visualization of pelvic movement in real-time, enables progress tracking and allows active physician involvement, all of which support women's success. Recognizing that level-one evidence shows pelvic floor muscle training is most effective when performed under the supervision of a skilled healthcare provider, leva is available by prescription only, allowing physicians the opportunity to treat UI and chronic FI on a broad scale and with deep involvement in patient success. leva is the first femtech product included in the Digital Therapeutics Alliance product library and has multiple clinical trials and published data from globally recognized medical centers supporting its efficacy. leva received the 2021 Excellence Award for Research from Medical Device Network.

China says it will make great efforts to consolidate economic recovery
BEIJING, July 22 (Reuters) - China will make great efforts to consolidate the economic recovery, state media on Friday quoted the cabinet as saying.
China's economy is in crucial window of recovery and the third quarter will be crucial, the cabinet was quoted as saying after a regular meeting.
"We will make great efforts to consolidate the foundation of economic recovery, strive to stabilise the economy and keep the economic operation within a reasonable range, give priority to ensuring the achievement of the goal of stabilising employment and prices," the cabinet was quoted as saying.
The economy has started a tepid recovery from the supply shocks caused by wide lockdowns, although headwinds to growth persist, including from a still subdued property market, soft consumption and fear of any recurring waves of infections.
There is still considerable room for policies, such as financing instruments via policy banks, to play a role in boosting investment, the cabinet was quoted as saying.
Authorities have given policy banks 800 billion yuan ($118 billion) in new credit quotas and allowed them to issue 300 billion yuan in bonds to fund infrastructure projects.
The cabinet urged localities to speed up construction of infrastructure projects and create employment opportunities for migrant workers, state media said.
Financial institutions should make flexible arrangements for consumption loans for people affected by the COVID-19, and efforts will be made to ensure stable development of the property market, the cabinet was quoted as saying.
It also reaffirmed support for the healthy development of the platform economy, enabling the sector to play a better role in creating jobs and promoting consumption.

NEW YORK – A man accused of attacking U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin, the Republican candidate for New York governor, at an upstate event by apparently trying to stab the congressman was arrested and charged with attempted assault.
“I’m OK,” Zeldin said in a statement after the assault Thursday. “Fortunately, I was able to grab his wrist and stop him for a few moments until others tackled him.”
A Monroe County sheriff's spokesperson said David Jakubonis, 43, was arrested after trying to attack Zeldin and was later arraigned on a charge of attempted assault in the second degree. He has been released without bail. It's not clear whether Jakubonis has an attorney who can speak for him. A message seeking comment was left at a number listed for Jakubonis.
Jakubonis is an Army veteran who was deployed to Iraq in 2009 as a medical laboratory technician.
The incident happened as Zeldin, who is challenging incumbent Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul this November, was addressing a Veterans of Foreign Wars post in the town of Perinton, outside Rochester.
The attacker climbed onto a low stage where the congressman spoke to a crowd of dozens, flanked by bales of hay and American flags. A video posted on Twitter shows the two falling to the ground as other people try to intervene.
The assailant brandished a pointed metal object shaped like a cat's head, photos from the scene show.
The attacker swung the weapon toward Zeldin’s neck and told him, “You’re done,” according to the sheriff's spokesperson, Deputy Brendan Hurley.
Jacob Murphy, a spokesperson for Zeldin's congressional office, said Friday that Zeldin had a minor scrape from the incident. He said Zeldin had not received any specific threats recently.
In response to a question about what security was at the event, Murphy said: “Congressman Zeldin had private security at the event and law enforcement arrived on the scene within a few minutes. Security will be increased starting with our first event this morning.”
Among those who helped to subdue the attacker was Zeldin’s running mate, former New York Police Department Deputy Inspector Alison Esposito, Murphy said.
In a statement, Hochul condemned the attack and said she was “relieved to hear that Congressman Zeldin was not injured and that the suspect is in custody.”
Langworthy called on Hochul to issue a security detail for Zeldin to protect him on the campaign trail.
“This could have gone a lot worse. This could have really ended in a horrible way tonight and this is unacceptable,” he said.
Hochul’s press secretary Avi Small referred questions about providing Zeldin with a security detail to New York state police.
Zeldin, an Army Reserve lieutenant colonel who has represented eastern Long Island in Congress since 2015, is a staunch ally of former President Donald Trump and was among the Republicans in Congress who voted against certifying the 2020 election results.
He has focused his campaign on fighting crime but faces an uphill battle against Hochul. He'll need to persuade independent voters — which outnumber Republicans in the state — as well as Democrats in order to win the general election.
Democrats are expected to focus on Zeldin’s vocal defense of Trump during both of his impeachments and objection to the election results.

As the majority investor in a new fiber-to-the-premises Internet provider, Oak Hill will partner with Omni Fiber to accelerate the deployment of fiber-based broadband networks in the Midwest.
CINCINNATI and MENLO PARK, Calif., July 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Oak Hill Capital ("Oak Hill") today announced that it formed a new fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) provider, Omni Fiber ("Omni" or the "Company"), to bring to market a new option for high-speed Internet service in small and mid-sized markets in the Midwest that have historically been underserved by the large phone and cable companies.
Oak Hill's $250 million commitment to Omni Fiber out of its latest flagship fund, Oak Hill Capital Partners VI, will fund new network construction to bring state-of-the-art fiber Internet, TV, and phone services to homes and businesses in communities across the Midwest, with initial projects in the states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Michigan.

Omni Fiber will offer affordable, symmetrical speeds of up to 2 Gbps to homes and businesses in small and mid-sized towns in the Midwest where current high-speed options are limited.

Oak Hill is an experienced investor in the FTTP space, and Omni Fiber's executive team has over 80 years of combined experience in building and growing fiber networks. Oak Hill's current broadband investments that enable increased fiber access across the U.S. include MetroNet, one of the nation's largest independently owned, 100 percent fiber optic network providers; Vexus Fiber, an expanding provider in Texas, New Mexico and Louisiana; GoNetspeed in the Northeast; Race Communications in California; and Greenlight Networks in upstate New York.
"We believe that reliable, high-speed access to the Internet represents a fundamental catalyst for economic growth and equal opportunity for all Americans, from small towns to big cities," said Scott Baker, Partner at Oak Hill. "We have enjoyed strong relationships with Omni's founding executive team – Darrick Zucco, Steve Gable, Brian Ross and Andres Tovar – for many years. We are excited to formally launch our new partnership with this outstanding team as the Company builds and introduces its fiber network across the Midwest."

Evie Delahunt cleared a personal best 1.36m to win the girls’ high jump from a large field of 13 athletes.
Mia Gaul won the girls’ shot with a throw of 6.07m with team mate Eryn Denton-Brown taking silver with a throw of 5.77m.
Because of a large entry to the boys’ 800m, it was split into three races with the medals going to the fastest three times from all the races.
Harry Pawsey ran in the first race and pushed right from the gun, running away from the rest of the field to come home in a personal best time of 2mins 25.76s.
He then had to wait for the other two races to run to see whether his time would be good enough for a medal.
It was not only good enough for a medal, but good enough to win the gold.
Pawsey then showed his versatility by leaping 4.34m to take the silver medal in the long jump
The boys’ shot competition saw Hadley French pick up a silver medal with a throw of 7.47m, before also winning a silver a medal in the discus with a throw of 18.91m.
Narrowly missing medals in taking fourth places were Jake Tonge in the shot putt (5.50m) and Joe Wilkie in the long jump (4.19m).
A total of 19 Blue Star athlete performances were in top six finishing places.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Twitter, Inc. (NYSE: TWTR) today announced financial results for its second quarter 2022.
Except as otherwise stated, all financial results discussed below are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP. As supplemental information, we have provided certain additional non-GAAP financial measures in this press release's supplemental tables, and such supplemental tables include a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to our GAAP results. The sum of individual metrics may not always equal total amounts indicated due to rounding.
- Q2 average monetizable daily active usage (mDAU) was 237.8 million, up 16.6% compared to Q2 of the prior year. The increase was driven by ongoing product improvements and global conversation around current events.
- Q2 revenue totaled $1.18 billion, a decrease of 1% year-over-year, or an increase of 2% on a constant currency basis, reflecting advertising industry headwinds associated with the macroenvironment as well as uncertainty related to the pending acquisition of Twitter by an affiliate of Elon Musk. When excluding MoPub and MoPub Acquire, year-over-year growth was 3%.1
- Costs and expenses totaled $1.52 billion, an increase of 31% year-over-year.
- Operating loss was $344 million, representing a -29% operating margin, compared to operating income of $30 million or 3% operating margin in the same period last year.
- Net loss was $270 million, representing a net margin of -23% and diluted EPS of -$0.35. This compares to net income of $66 million, a net margin of 6% and diluted EPS of $0.08 in the same period last year.
- Net cash provided by operating activities in the quarter was $30 million, compared to $382 million in the same period last year. Capital expenditures totaled $154 million, compared to $276 million in the same period last year.
Given the pending acquisition of Twitter by an affiliate of Elon Musk, we will not host an earnings conference call, issue a shareholder letter, or provide financial guidance in conjunction with our second quarter 2022 earnings release. For further detail and discussion of our financial performance please refer to our upcoming quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.
For more information regarding the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this press release, please see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP below.
As announced on April 25, 2022, we entered into a merger agreement, pursuant to which Twitter agreed to be acquired by an entity wholly owned by Elon Musk, for $54.20 per share in cash. Upon completion of the transaction, Twitter will become a privately held company.
On July 8, 2022, representatives of Mr. Musk delivered a notice purporting to terminate the merger agreement. Twitter believes that Mr. Musk's purported termination is invalid and wrongful, and the merger agreement remains in effect. On July 12, 2022, Twitter commenced litigation against Mr. Musk and certain of his affiliates to cause them to specifically perform their obligations under the merger agreement and consummate the closing in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement. On July 19, 2022, Twitter's request for an expedited trial was granted, and the trial is being scheduled for October 2022.
Adoption of the merger agreement by our stockholders is the only remaining approval or regulatory condition to completing the merger under the merger agreement. The exact timing of completion of the merger, if at all, cannot be predicted because the merger is subject to ongoing litigation, adoption of the merger agreement by our stockholders and the satisfaction of the remaining closing conditions.
Twitter is what's happening and what people are talking about right now. To learn more, visit about.twitter.com and follow @Twitter. Let's talk.
Twitter defines monetizable daily active usage or users (mDAU) as people, organizations, or other accounts who logged in or were otherwise authenticated and accessed Twitter on any given day through twitter.com, Twitter applications that are able to show ads, or paid Twitter products, including subscriptions. Average mDAU for a period represents the number of mDAU on each day of such period divided by the number of days for such period. Changes in mDAU are a measure of changes in the size of our daily logged in or otherwise authenticated active total accounts. To calculate the year-over-year change in mDAU, we subtract the average mDAU for the three months ended in the previous year from the average mDAU for the same three months ended in the current year and divide the result by the average mDAU for the three months ended in the previous year. Additionally, our calculation of mDAU is not based on any standardized industry methodology and is not necessarily calculated in the same manner or comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Similarly, our measures of mDAU growth and engagement may differ from estimates published by third parties or from similarly titled metrics of our competitors due to differences in methodology.
The numbers of mDAU presented in our earnings materials are based on internal company data. While these numbers are based on what we believe to be reasonable estimates for the applicable period of measurement, there are inherent challenges in measuring usage and engagement across our large number of total accounts around the world. Furthermore, our metrics may be impacted by our information quality efforts, which are our overall efforts to reduce malicious activity on the service, inclusive of spam, malicious automation, and fake accounts. For example, there are a number of false or spam accounts in existence on our platform. We have performed an internal review of a sample of accounts and estimate that the average of false or spam accounts during the second quarter of 2022 represented fewer than 5% of our mDAU during the quarter. The false or spam accounts for a period represents the average of false or spam accounts in the samples during each monthly analysis period during the quarter. In making this determination, we applied significant judgment, so our estimation of false or spam accounts may not accurately represent the actual number of such accounts, and the actual number of false or spam accounts could be higher than we have estimated. We are continually seeking to improve our ability to estimate the total number of spam accounts and eliminate them from the calculation of our mDAU, and have made improvements in our spam detection capabilities that have resulted in the suspension of a large number of spam, malicious automation, and fake accounts. We intend to continue to make such improvements. After we determine an account is spam, malicious automation, or fake, we stop counting it in our mDAU, or other related metrics. We also treat multiple accounts held by a single person or organization as multiple mDAU because we permit people and organizations to have more than one account. Additionally, some accounts used by organizations are used by many people within the organization. As such, the calculations of our mDAU may not accurately reflect the actual number of people or organizations using our platform.
In addition, geographic location data collected for purposes of reporting the geographic location of our mDAU is based on the IP address or phone number associated with the account when an account is initially registered on Twitter. The IP address or phone number may not always accurately reflect a person's actual location at the time they engaged with our platform. For example, someone accessing Twitter from the location of the proxy server that the person connects to rather than from the person's actual location.
We regularly review and may adjust our processes for calculating our internal metrics to improve their accuracy.
To supplement Twitter's financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP, Twitter considers certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, including revenues excluding foreign exchange effect, which we refer to as on a constant currency basis, non-GAAP income (loss) before income taxes, non-GAAP provision for (benefit from) income taxes, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP diluted net income (loss) per share, adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP costs and expenses, and adjusted free cash flow, as well as measures excluding MoPub Acquire (formerly known as CrossInstall), which we wound down in December 2021, and MoPub, which we sold to AppLovin on January 1, 2022.
In order to present revenues on a constant currency basis for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2022, Twitter translated the applicable measure using the prior year's monthly exchange rates for its settlement currencies other than the US dollar. Twitter defines non-GAAP income (loss) before income taxes as income (loss) before income taxes adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, non-cash interest expense related to convertible notes, non-cash expense related to acquisitions, impairment (gain) on investments in privately held companies, restructuring charges, and one-time non-recurring gain, if any; Twitter defines non-GAAP provision for (benefit from) income taxes as the current and deferred income tax expense commensurate with the non-GAAP measure of profitability using the estimated annual effective tax rate, which is dependent on the jurisdictional mix of earnings; and Twitter defines non-GAAP net income (loss) as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, non-cash interest expense related to convertible notes, non-cash expense related to acquisitions, impairment (gain) on investments in privately held companies, restructuring charges, and one-time non-recurring gain, if any, and adjustment to income tax expense based on the non-GAAP measure of profitability using the estimated annual effective tax rate, which is dependent on the jurisdictional mix of earnings. Non-GAAP diluted net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income (loss) by non-GAAP diluted share count. Non-GAAP diluted share count is GAAP basic share count plus potential common stock instruments such as stock options, RSUs, shares to be purchased under employee stock purchase plan, unvested restricted stock, the conversion feature of convertible senior notes, and warrants. Twitter defines adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization expense, interest and other expense, net, provision for (benefit from) income taxes, restructuring charges, and one-time non-recurring gain, if any. Twitter defines non-GAAP costs and expenses as total costs and expenses adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, non-cash expense related to acquisitions, restructuring charges, and one-time non-recurring gain, if any. Adjusted free cash flow is GAAP net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures (i.e., purchases of property and equipment including equipment purchases that were financed through finance leases, less proceeds received from the disposition of property and equipment).
Twitter is presenting these non-GAAP financial measures to assist investors in seeing Twitter's operating results through the eyes of management, and because it believes that these measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing Twitter's core business operating results over multiple periods with other companies in its industry.
Twitter believes that revenues on a constant currency basis, non-GAAP income (loss) before income taxes, non-GAAP provision for (benefit from) income taxes, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP diluted net income (loss) per share, adjusted EBITDA, and non-GAAP costs and expenses provide useful information about its operating results, enhance the overall understanding of Twitter's past performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by Twitter's management in its financial and operational decision-making. Twitter uses these measures to establish budgets and operational goals for managing its business and evaluating its performance.
Twitter believes that revenues on a constant currency basis is a useful metric that facilitates comparison to its historical performance. Twitter believes that non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP diluted net income (loss) per share, adjusted EBITDA, and non-GAAP costs and expenses help identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be masked by expenses and one-time gains or charges, or the effects of the income tax benefits related to the establishment of deferred tax assets and the tax provisions from the establishment of a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets described above, which are non-operating benefits and expenses.
In addition, Twitter believes that adjusted free cash flow provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash from operations and that it is typically a more conservative measure of cash flows. However, adjusted free cash flow does not necessarily represent funds available for discretionary use and is not necessarily a measure of its ability to fund its cash needs.
We have included measures excluding MoPub and MoPub Acquire because such businesses are no longer part of our operations, and we believe these measures are useful in understanding the ongoing results of our operations.
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
Twitter has filed a preliminary proxy statement in connection with its Special Meeting of Stockholders (the Special Meeting) related to the pending acquisition of Twitter (the Transaction). Prior to the Special Meeting, Twitter will furnish a definitive proxy statement to its stockholders, together with a proxy card. STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT (INCLUDING ANY AMENDMENTS OR SUPPLEMENTS THERETO) AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION. Detailed information regarding the names, affiliations and interests of individuals who are participants in the solicitation of proxies of Twitter's stockholders is available in Twitter's preliminary proxy statement.
Stockholders may obtain, free of charge, Twitter's proxy statement (in both preliminary and definitive form), any amendments or supplements thereto, and any other relevant documents filed by Twitter with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) in connection with the Special Meeting at the SEC's website (http://www.sec.gov).

BoG international reserves declined from $9 billion to $3 billion – Report
$750 million loan to help shore up BoG reserves – Finance Minister
BoG struggling to release 'cooked forex figures' on forex reserves – Adongo alleges
The Finance Committee of Parliament has in a recent report detailed the severity of the current economic challenges in the country.
According to the report, Ghana would have gone bankrupt if the Loan Facility Agreement between the government of Ghana and the AfreximBank for a $750 million loan, had not been approved by parliament.
It added that the Bank of Ghana’s international reserves had recorded a slump from $9 billion to about $3 billion.
“These challenges are further exacerbated by the rapidly dwindling reserves of the Bank of Ghana which has declined from $9 billion to about $3 billion. With a monthly demand of over $600 million, the reserves of the central bank may be exhausted in a few months if urgent steps are not taken to shore up the countries reserves,” portions of the report read.
“The Minister of Finance further indicated that, there is an urgent need for the government to secure the $750 million facility to help shore up the reserve position of the Bank of Ghana to avoid the country defaulting on its international commitments and also to avoid the country moving into insolvency,” it added.
Meanwhile, the $750 million loan facility will be spent on some 11 infrastructure projects across the country. These will include road projects.
However, a portion of the loan facility will go toward shoring up the reserve position of the Bank of Ghana.

Childcare Workers Set To Strike Over Pay And Working Conditions
Date set for September
Getty Images
A mass walkout of childcare workers will take place on September 7, after the United Workers Union (UWU) delegates voted on the date amid a “crisis.”
Childcare workers are fighting over poor pay and working conditions, with the union expected a record number of people taking part in the walkout.
Stay up-to-date on the latest news with The Victorian Briefing - keeping you in the loop with news as it hits:
“Centres across the country are having to limit enrolments, close rooms and cancel staff leave,” UWU said in a statement.
“Children and families are suffering due to the strain.”
UWU Early Education Director Helen Gibbons said workers were “sick of being stuck” amid a decade of “inaction.”
“Our vision is for a sector where educators’ vital work is valued with professional wages and working conditions, and where early education is recognised for its vital role in children’s development,” she said.
“The only way out of the crisis in early learning is real reform that respects educators.”
Childcare educators are calling on the Federal Government to detail a plan to fix the industry, including treating early education with the same importance as education.
Parents are warned on September 7 childcare centres may be closed and to arrange alternative arrangements for children.
Childcare educators are among several industries who have also taken industry action this year including healthcare, teachers, and transport staff across the country – particularly in New South Wales.

As more coupons move online, older and low-income shoppers get left out
By Nathaniel Meyersohn, CNN Business
Susie Ingram has been a coupon-clipper all her life.
“It has saved me a lot of money over the years,” said the 62-year-old resident of DeBary, Florida. She clips coupons and redeems them at her local Winn-Dixie supermarket to save on cereal, toilet paper, coffee, and snacks for her grandson, whom she is helping raise.
But over the past two years, Ingram said she has seen fewer deals. That’s because some of Winn-Dixie’s coupon offerings have moved exclusively online. At first, Ingram noticed that it was only a couple items, but now it’s grown to dozens, including meat and produce.
Ingram has tried several times to download the store’s app to redeem these coupons. But she isn’t tech savvy and gave up.
She spends around $125 a week on groceries and said she’d save up to $30 a week if she were able to redeem the digital coupons — money that would go toward paying for clothing for her grandson, gas and cat food. The highest inflation in decades is taking a bite out of her paycheck and every dollar counts.
“If you’re not 20-something with an expensive cell phone to do this, then too bad,” she said.
Ingram’s mother, who is 82 years old and lives off her Social Security benefits, struggles to use a cell phone and also is unable to take advantage of these digital coupons.
The Ingrams are part of a large group of digitally challenged shoppers unable to access online coupons.
As some manufacturers and stores cut back on printing weekly coupons and move more deals online, these shoppers are getting left out.
According to Pew Research Center, 39% of people 65 and over do not own a smartphone, and 25% don’t use the internet. Additionally, 24% of adults with household incomes below $30,000 a year don’t own a smartphone, while 41% don’t have a computer. This means that millions of older and low-income shoppers — the people who often depend on coupons the most to stretch their dollars — are shut out of deals only available to online shoppers.
“This is a new hurdle for shoppers in store,” said Edgar Dworsky, a consumer advocate and founder of Consumer World, who has documented this trend. “Isn’t this the worst time to be paying higher prices? We’re not talking about pennies.”
Dworsky checked 50 top supermarkets’ weekly advertisements in June and found that two-thirds of them advertise digital-only deals. Many had doubled or tripled the number of digital-only deals offered compared to the same week a year ago.
To be sure, Winn-Dixie still offers the Ingrams and other customers who aren’t online ways to save.
The chain mails out printed coupons to customers’ homes, has them on receipts, and has kiosks in stores where customers can enter the phone number linked to their free store rewards card to print out personalized coupons. Customers can sign up for the rewards program by telephone, too.
“We are very sensitive to the pressure that today’s inflationary dynamic is putting on our customers, which is why we offer a variety of ways to save,” said a spokesperson for Winn-Dixie-owner Southeastern Grocers.
But many consumers are moving online, and grocers have responded by stepping up their digital rewards.
Some companies, such as Walgreens, stopped printing coupon catalogs and moved their weekly advertisements online. CVS stopped printing them for newspapers but some are still in stores.
In the second quarter of 2020, redemptions of digital coupons in the United States surpassed redemptions of the most common type of paper coupons for the first time, according to market research firm Inmar Intelligence.
“The growth of digital coupons is outpacing the growth of print coupons,” said Rob Wiesberg, the general manager of incentives at Inmar.
For stores, personalized digital coupons delivered to customers through their apps represent a more surgical option to reach customers than mass distribution through the newspaper.
Companies also get more data on customers when they download an app and can better track whether customers are responding to the coupons
“We used to have blunt instruments in the newspaper, where pricing had to go down for eight pages of items and whatever it was, and you had to release that six weeks before,” Dick’s Sporting Goods CEO Lauren Hobart said earlier this year.
But since the company has shifted its coupons to digital, “we are now literally making day-to-day decisions,” she said.

5 things to know for July 22: Jan. 6, Covid-19, Extreme heat, Immigration, Ukraine
By Alexandra Meeks, CNN
Before you purchase those items in your Amazon cart, make sure you scan product reviews for anything suspicious. Amazon is trying to weed out thousands of online groups it says is responsible for orchestrating millions of fake reviews on its site. The company this week said it is using “advanced technology” and “expert investigators” to identify and sue the bad actors, but some of the fraudsters are well-disguised and are actively looking for loopholes to mislead buyers.
Here’s what you need to know to Get Up to Speed and On with Your Day.

1. January 6
The January 6 committee presented new evidence Thursday highlighting then-President Donald Trump’s refusal over three hours to publicly condemn the riot at the US Capitol or to call off the violent mob. During the primetime session, witnesses with firsthand knowledge of what was happening inside the White House on January 6 told the committee that Trump did not place a single call to law enforcement or national security officials as the insurrection was unfolding. Nor did he issue a statement during that time urging rioters to leave the Capitol and go home. The committee used that testimony to make a case that Trump’s refusal to intervene amounted to a dereliction of duty. The hearing also featured disturbing new video and audio showing how endangered Vice President Mike Pence’s security detail felt as they were trying to evacuate him safely from the Capitol. Thursday’s session was the committee’s final public hearing until September.
2. Covid-19
President Joe Biden said Thursday that he’s tested positive for Covid-19 but will continue to work while in isolation at the White House despite mild symptoms. In a video posted to Twitter, Biden told Americans that he is “doing well” and that “it’s gonna be OK,” adding he has been double vaccinated and double boosted. This is the first time Biden has tested positive for Covid-19, according to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. Biden, 79, has begun taking the antiviral drug Paxlovid, which is available via emergency use authorization from the FDA for eligible people at high risk of severe illness. The President’s infection comes as coronavirus cases are once again on the rise in the US, driven by the most contagious strain of the virus yet: BA.5.
3. Extreme heat
The deadly heat waves across the globe have done strange things to infrastructure as millions endure searing temperatures that are expected to last through the weekend. On the outskirts of London, a portion of an airport runway melted after the UK capital saw its hottest day on record Tuesday with temperatures breaching 104 degrees Fahrenheit. Officials in London are also wrapping the famous Hammersmith Bridge in foil to reflect sunlight and keep the bridge from overheating. A heat wave is also currently affecting more than 900 million people in China — or 64% of the population. In the city of Chongqing, which has also been under a red alert, the heat caused a museum roof to melt. And in many parts of the US, triple-digit temperatures are causing power grids to buckle, causing energy emergencies.
4. Immigration
The Supreme Court on Thursday declined to freeze a lower court order that has blocked the Department of Homeland Security from implementing new immigration enforcement priorities. The court’s 5-4 vote is a loss for the Biden administration, which is trying to return to Obama-era policies that limit immigration arrests in order to focus on security risks instead of the more aggressive approach taken by the Trump administration. The vote was also the first for Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson since she was sworn in on June 30. Jackson joined the court’s three other female justices in dissenting with the ruling. This comes a little more than a week after thousands of migrants from multiple countries descended upon the US-Mexico border in search of asylum, adding to the Biden administration’s challenges.
5. Ukraine
Russia’s Ukraine war effort is running “out of steam” and Russia has lost its ability to spy in Europe “by half,” according to the chief of Britain’s foreign intelligence service. “I think our assessment is that the Russians will increasingly find it difficult to supply manpower material over the next few weeks,” Richard Moore, the head of MI6, told CNN. “They will have to pause some way and that will give the Ukrainians opportunities to strike back.” In addition, the European Council hit Russia with new restrictive measures today, preventing another major Russian bank from conducting transactions outside of the country. Separately, the Russian government today expanded its list of “unfriendly foreign states,” adding Greece, Denmark, Slovenia, Croatia and Slovakia.

That’s how many people are accused of sending more than 8 billion robocalls about “auto warranties” since 2018. The illegal calls typically begin with recorded lines such as, “We’ve been trying to reach you concerning your car’s extended warranty,” the Federal Communications Commission said in an order Thursday, requiring voice providers to stop carrying the calls. The people behind the alleged scheme are mostly based in Texas and California but also in places as far away as Hungary. The calls were the single largest source of consumer complaints to the FCC in each of the past two years.
TODAY’S QUOTE
Many of you may be too young to remember polio, but when I was growing up, this disease struck fear in families, including my own. The fact that it is still around decades after the vaccine was created shows you just how relentless it is.
— Ed Day, a county executive in Rockland, New York, urging people to get vaccinated against polio after a person from the county was diagnosed with the first case of polio identified in the US in nearly a decade. The unvaccinated young adult began experiencing weakness and paralysis about a month ago, health officials said. About 1 in 4 infected people have flu-like symptoms, but as many as 1 in 200 develop more serious symptoms that include numbness in the legs, an infection of the brain or spinal cord, and paralysis, the CDC said. There is no cure for polio, and paralysis caused by the disease is permanent.

A "feral" teenager who ran three county lines and boasted his heroin and crack cocaine was "dynamite" and "the best in town" has been jailed.
Thomas Forshaw "joined the family drugs business" and saw the three separate county lines gangs flood areas in Lancashire and Cumbria with Class A drugs. The baby-faced 19-year-old was "wooed" into the underworld, which several of his relatives were already caught up in, and went on to earn "hundreds every day", a court heard.
He was caught with nearly £20,000 worth of luxury goods, including a huge stash of designer gear, after police raided his apartment. Forshaw and a passenger had earlier been stopped on the M6 heading to Barrow-in-Furness and appeared to be under the influence of drugs.

He was found to be in possession of £1,750 in cash and a Nokia mobile. Upon analysis, the phone was found to have been in use since March that year in supplying heroin in the area as part of the so-called 'Mitch Line', the ECHO reports.
One flare text, a message sent to multiple numbers advertising drugs for sale, found on the device read: "Best about, dynamite. Mitch". Forshaw was released on bail but, on March 16 this year, police executed a search warrant at his flat on Marlborough Street in Liverpool.
Upon entering the bedroom, the teen was seen by officers with another Nokia phone in his hands. He "actively resisted" arrest though, and had to be restrained on the bed as a result, Liverpool Crown Court heard.
During a search of the property, the force seized six mobiles, a "large quantity" of caffeine and paracetamol which were being used as cutting agents, heroin with a purity of around 50% and valued at up to £5,016, £2,000 in cash, a block of cannabis resin and a jar of the class B drug. Also discovered were "designer clothing and shoes", an Apple watch and a PlayStation 5 with an estimated combined value of around £19,000.
Analysis of two of the phones discovered they had been used in the 'Real Jackkk' and 'Kai' county lines, which supplied heroin and crack in Barrow and Morecambe respectively over the previous three months. One message read "best in town, dynamite, real jackkk” while another said "active, best of both, three for 50, quick drops".
Tom Challinor, prosecuting, told the court: "The prosecution case is he willingly and enthusiastically joined the family business. His brother, cousin and uncle are all significantly involved in drug supply and county lines operations.
"Were that not the case, he might not be sitting here this morning. It's the prosecution's case that he hasn't been manipulated or exploited.
"He demonstrated a determination to carry on the trade and reap the benefits that were evident when he was arrested the second time around."
Julian Nutter, defending, maintained that his client had been "groomed" to work in the supply of drugs and had not been the head of the county lines operations. He also compared Forshaw to "Bubbles from the Pears Soap advert" - which features Sir John Everett Millais' 1886 painting A Child's World, a depiction of the artist's five-year-old grandson.
The court heard that the ketamine and cannabis user had lived with his grandma when his mum emigrated, but he was left to "fend for himself" after his nan died. Mr Nutter added: "When he is released, he can put it behind him and live a decent, honest life."
Forshaw - who has one previous conviction for possession of a bladed article in a public place and possession of cannabis - admitted conspiracy to supply heroin and crack cocaine, possession of cannabis and possession of criminal property. Judge Gary Woodhall found the he had a "significant" role in the operations which he "inherited".
Sentencing, he said: "Your offending spanned 12 months of drug dealing involved in three separate county lines operations. It's clear to me you have come from a supportive and hard-working side of the family who are shocked by your offending.
"You are described as someone who previously lived a positive life, who is well thought of and polite and caring. But you struggled to cope with life events, including grief.
"You were left to fend for yourself. You became feral. I'm perfectly satisfied that you viewed drug dealing as a way to generate income, and you had no desire to find legitimate work. This was a lifestyle choice."
Judge Woodhall jailed him for four years and four months. Forshaw could also be ordered to repay his ill-gotten gains under the Proceeds of Crime Act, and will appear back before the same court later this year.

Hove residents fear homelessness after being told to leave council-owned block
ITV Meridian's Tom Savvides has been to speak to those at risk of losing their homes
Almost 40 people in a council-owned block of properties have been told to leave their homes, with some fearing they may end up homeless.
Residents living in Knoll House in Hove have been issued with notices to quit after Brighton and Hove Council ended its contract with a management company.
The residents have been acting as guardians which is a process that allows people to rent council property, often old offices, at reduced rates to prevent buildings from being vandalised or taken over by squatters.
Now, they have been told they must go prompting fears from some they will end up without a home.
Stephanie Sams, Guardian of Knoll House, said: "I can speak from a lot of other people here. We have no other option or money is very tight. We live pay-check to pay-check and having less than 20 days notice is frightening."
Almost 40 people at Knoll House have been acting as guardians.
Brighton and Hove Council said: "The guardians are licensees of a company called Oaksure Property Protection. They are not residential tenants and they do not pay rent to the council. Our contract with Oaksure allows either party to terminate the arrangement with 28 days' notice."
The council added a team visited the scheme to offer residents advice on housing options and to assess people's needs.
Oaksure were not available for comment. | https://www.itv.com/news/meridian/2022-07-22/fears-of-homelessness-as-residents-living-in-council-owned-block-told-to-leave | 2022-07-22T13:39:33Z | https://www.itv.com/news/meridian/2022-07-22/fears-of-homelessness-as-residents-living-in-council-owned-block-told-to-leave | false | 1 |
A “compulsive” stalker who has had an “insatiable desire” to speak with former BBC Newsnight presenter Emily Maitlis for the past 30 years has told a jury he would still write letters to her if he was freed from prison.
Edward Vines is alleged to have attempted to breach a restraining order in relation to Ms Maitlis eight times between May 2020 and December 2021, with letters addressed to her and her mother sent from HMP Nottingham.
Giving evidence at Nottingham Crown Court on Friday, the 52-year-old told jurors: “The problem derives from a young man being profoundly in love with a woman… not saying in the 1990s… that I love you.”
Vines said he “cannot heal” because of the restraining order, but claimed he never intended the letters to reach Ms Maitlis or her mother as he knew they would be intercepted by prison staff.
The defendant told the court he wanted a jury to see the letters “so that they can hear my views and that Emily owes me an apology”.
The jury of seven women and five men previously heard that Vines has had a three-decade “fixation” with the journalist, and wrote two further letters to her and her mother after a previous six-count trial was aborted.
Ms Maitlis interviewed the Duke of York in 2020, which led to Andrew stepping back from official public duties after criticism over his unsympathetic tone and lack of remorse about his friendship with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Before answering questions from prosecutor Ian Way, Vines presented his own case, saying: “I know that very strict measures are in place for letters getting out.
“As I sit in my cell in Nottingham Prison, I know that no letter is going to reach Emily any more than one will reach the moon.”
In his cross-examination, Mr Way asked Vines: “You understand that you are prohibited from contacting Emily Maitlis and Marion Maitlis?”
“I do,” the defendant replied.
“So explain to the jury, please, what the purpose is of writing the letters,” Mr Way said.
The defendant responded: “One thing is what happened between me and Emily at university all those years ago.
“Also, she won’t speak to me unless a jury says she should talk to me.
“Nobody else will listen, nobody would take my side and I believe that 12 members of the public might.”
Explaining why he believed he had a reasonable excuse to breach his restraining order, Vines told jurors: “So I could persuade a jury… that Emily is in the wrong and that Emily has maligned me.”
He continued: “If I was at liberty, I would send these letters.
“Now, if I am harassing them, they (the police) have not discussed that with me.
“Police are like wild dogs with me, trying to kill me over my attempts to contact Emily Maitlis.”
Mr Way then asked: “It is all about you speaking to Emily Maitlis, isn’t it?”
Vines replied: “It is about speaking to Emily, yes.”
“Which the order prohibits you from doing,” Mr Way added.
“Unless I have a reasonable excuse,” Vines answered.
“Emily doesn’t want to speak to you, does she?”
“I don’t know Emily’s state of mind.”
Mr Way continued: “What motivates you, Mr Vines, is your insatiable desire that you have to speak with Emily. That’s behind everything you do, isn’t it?”
Vines responded: “I think the problem derives from a young man being profoundly in love with a woman from university and not saying in the 1990s, when she met me, that I love you.
“That’s the reason for my ongoing hurt that I suffer. I can’t heal because you have got the restraining order.”
Vines denies all eight charges.

FCC is cracking down on ‘auto warranty’ robocalls
(CNN) - If you’ve ever received a robocall saying, “We’ve been trying to reach you concerning your car’s extended warranty,” you’re not alone.
The Federal Communications Commission said Thursday that telecom providers in the United States will be required to block millions of those robocalls every day.
The order targets a group of 13 individuals and six companies, specifically.
That group is accused of sending more than 8 billion messages advertising extended vehicle warranties since 2018.
Most of those calls are considered illegal under U.S. law.
Robocalls about extended car warranties have been the No. 1 consumer complaint to the FCC for the past two years.
The FCC said telecom companies that continue to allow the illegal calls could face penalties.

A thug who battered a Celtic FC Women’s star during a shocking campaign of domestic abuse has been banned from contacting the victim for five years.
Paul Tansey - brother of former Scotland hero Leigh Griffiths - headbutted Hoops midfielder Lisa Robertson during one brutal attack at her Edinburgh home. While the amateur footballer also monitored her phone use, pestered her, made offensive remarks towards her and threatened suicide when she dumped him throughout the couple’s relationship.
The violent lout also admitted launching a cup of hot tea at Ms Robertson and to damaging her front door amid another fiery confrontation. Tansey, from Dalkeith, Midlothian, pleaded guilty to engaging in a course of conduct which was abusive of Ms Robertson when he appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court earlier this year.

Sentence had been deferred for reports and Tansey was back in the dock Friday where Sheriff Kenneth Campbell QC said his behaviour had gone “well beyond what is acceptable”. The sheriff added: “You have pled guilty to a course of behaviour that was serious consideration to custody.
“I have given serious consideration to custody in this case but I am satisfied there is a direct alternative in terms of a community payback order.” Tansey was placed under the supervision of the social work department for two years and ordered to carry out 80 hours of unpaid work in the community.
The sheriff also issued a five-year non-harassment order banning 37-year-old Tansey from approaching or contacting Scotland international Ms Robertson. Defence agent David Storrie told the court his client was a father of two and was now “concentrating on his employment” as a store manager with the retailer B&M.
Mr Storrie added: “He appreciates he was in the wrong and the victim has suffered due to his actions.” Celtic FC Women star Lisa Robertson, 30, signed for the Glasgow club in 2020 and was on loan at Birmingham last season.

The talented midfielder has also played for Hibernian Women, Glasgow City and Durham Women FC and has earned eight full international caps with the Scotland Women’s national team. Tansey is the older brother of former Hibs and Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths and recently played for East of Scotland Premier Division side Penicuik Athletic.
The goal-scoring midfielder has also played for East Fife and several amateur outfits during his career. But his career in the sport is now in tatters after Penicuik Athletic bosses ripped up his contract following the court case.
A statement from the club read: “Penicuik Athletic can confirm that following the publication of several news articles in relation to Paul Tansey, discussions have taken place between both parties and his contract will be terminated with immediate effect. The club shall make no further comment.”
Tansey pleaded guilty to a charge of engaging in a course of conduct which was abusive of his partner Lisa Robertson by monitoring her mobile phone use, uttering offensive remarks to her, repeatedly accusing her of infidelity and threatening to self harm.
He also threw a mug containing hot liquid towards her damaging a wall, struck her on the head with his head, repeatedly contacted her by phone and text, attended at her property and kicked and struck a door, all between July 1, 2020 and May 15 last year.

Christine McGuinness and husband Paddy have announced their decision to separate following 15 years together – 11 of which they were married.
Following a family trip, which was understood to be a 'make or break' holiday for the pair, the couple have revealed they have in fact been separated for sometime.
The couple share three children Penelope, Felicity and Leo together. Despite the split, the couple will continue to live in the same house together as the co-parent their three children, all of whom have been diagnosed with autism.
Real Housewives of Cheshire star Christine, 34, and husband Paddy, 48, announced the news in a statement, which both Christine and Paddy had shared to their Instagram stories.
The couple wrote: "We hadn't planned on sharing this publicly until we were ready but the lack of privacy surrounding our personal life, we feel left with no other option but to clarify.
"A while ago we took the difficult decision to separate but our main focus was as always is to continue loving and supporting our children.
"This was not an easy decision to make but we're moving forward as the best parents we can be for our three beautiful children.
"We'll always be a loving family, we still have a great relationship and still live happily in our family home together."
The joint statement continued: "We hope this now draws a line under anymore unwanted and unnecessary intrusion into our private life.
"Although we work in the public eye we ask kindly if you could respect our wishes for privacy on this matter. We'll be making no further comment."
Signing off the statement, the couple wrote: "Loads of love. Paddy & Christine."
Hours before the joint statement from the pair, Paddy posted a photo of him and Christine smiling together following a trip the couple made to Centre Parcs.
The pair were due to go abroad with their three children but their holiday to Spain was cancelled as their daughter's passport was out of date.
Paddy and Christine appeared to be putting a defiant display in the photo amid speculation surrounding their marriage, as the both grinned at the camera for the image.
In the caption, Paddy explained how the disruption to their plans was difficult as their three children have autism.
He wrote: "Yes! We finally got away for our family holiday!
"After discovering, 3 days before we were due to fly, our youngest daughters passport had expired, our holiday to Spain had to be cancelled. We’d been telling the kids all about it, especially the airport part, so to suddenly change plans wasn’t easy! Mums and Dads with Autistic children will know exactly what I mean."
Top Gear star Paddy then explained the pair managed to find a last minute trip to Nottingham Centre Parcs.
He said: "Thankfully we got lucky and found the last available lodge at Centre Parcs, I booked it straight away. It was a big tree house and the kids absolutely loved it!!! We had a full week of activities booked for them and discovered a few of our childrens hidden talents, namely scaling the indoor climbing walls. I’m so proud of how well they did but mainly by how much fun they had."
Paddy continued to explain how they would "highly recommend" the destination, but insisted the endorsement wasn't an ad as the family paid for the trip.
He added: "If you’re a family who struggles with airports and all the hassles of travelling abroad this place could be the answer, it even had it’s own beach!
"The staff were great with the kids and you can please yourself what you want to do. You can chill out and have a quiet one or dive into all the activities! We did a bit of both. We’ll definitely go back there."
The Top Gear host ended the caption with: "We’re home now to our own beds, which no holiday can ever beat!"
Christine and Paddy first sparked concerns over their marriage while the RHOC star competed on The Games and Paddy was noticeably absent from the sidelines.
The rumour mill went into overdrive when fans thought they had spotted that Paddy had removed his heart tattoo – which replaced his wedding ring as a sign of their marriage – from his wedding finger.
Christine then headed on a solo trip with her pals and shared a cryptic post about "following her heart" – but squashed split rumours by flashing her wedding ring upon her return.
Later, Christine opened up about her and Paddy's relationship, admitting the couple were going through a "very, very difficult time".
Christine confessed to The Sun at the beginning of July: "I’m feeling really quite raw and all over the place."
Following weeks of rumours, Christine got honest about her marriage as she said: "What I might have put up with in the past, I probably wouldn’t put up with now, and the same for him."
Although Christine was reluctant to go into detail about the issues within their marriage, she insisted she "didn’t cause this situation".
Meanwhile, Paddy continued to stay tight-lipped about their marriage and opted to update his social media with lighthearted posts about his everyday life – from buying shoes for his kids to the family cat bringing in an unexpected visitor. | https://www.irishmirror.ie/showbiz/celebrity-news/breaking-christine-mcguinness-announces-separation-27551894 | 2022-07-22T13:51:50Z | https://www.irishmirror.ie/showbiz/celebrity-news/breaking-christine-mcguinness-announces-separation-27551894 | true | 1 |
FARNBOROUGH, England — Maverick’s next wingman could be a drone.
In the movies, fighter pilots are depicted as highly trained military aviators with the skills and experience to defeat adversaries in thrilling aerial dogfights.
New technologies, though, are set to redefine what it means to be a “Top Gun,” as algorithms, data and machines take on a bigger role in the cockpit — changes hinted at in “Top Gun: Maverick.”
“A lot of people talk about, you know, the way of the future, possibly taking the pilot out of the aircraft,” said 1st Lt. Walker Gall, an F-35 pilot with the U.S. 48th Fighter Wing based at RAF Lakenheath in England. “That’s definitely not something that any of us look forward to.”
“I’d like to keep my job as long as possible, but I mean, it’s hard to argue with newer and newer technology,” he said. “And if that’s the way of the future, that’s what it is. But I’m just here to enjoy it while I can.”
The future for fighter pilots was on display this week at the Farnborough International Airshow near London, one of the world’s biggest aviation, defense and aerospace expos.
Defense contractors outlined how artificial intelligence and other technologies will be used in the newest warplanes as global military delegations browsed mockups of missiles, drones and fighter jets. At stake are many billions of dollars as countries update military fleets or pump up defense procurement budgets amid rising geopolitical tensions.
The original “Top Gun” movie released in 1986 follows Tom Cruise’s hot-shot Navy pilot, Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, through fighter weapons training school. In the sequel, an aging Maverick, now a test pilot, learns the top secret hypersonic plane he’s working on is being canceled so the funding can be used for a pilotless drone program.
It’s a debate that’s been playing out for years in the real world. Drones have been used extensively in the war between Russia and Ukraine and other modern conflicts, raising the question of just how much need there is for human pilots to fly expensive fighter jets and other aircraft — or whether unmanned aerial vehicles could do the job.
At the Farnborough show, experts said the future of air warfare is likely to be manned and unmanned aircraft working together.
One day, fighter pilots will “have a drone aircraft that’s flying as a loyal wingman” under their control, said Jon Norman, a vice president at Raytheon Technologies Corp.’s missile and defense business.
Norman, a retired U.S. Air Force pilot, said he used to complain about drones controlled from the ground that got in his way when he was flying fighter jets.
The latest communications systems let fighters, drones and other aircraft talk to each other, he said.
Technology has already removed the need for a second person to sit in the backseat to work the radar — a role portrayed in the original “Top Gun” movie by the character Goose.
It will continue to play a bigger role in the cockpit, Raytheon executives said. Artificial intelligence will analyze reams of data from sensors placed on planes, drones, the ground or missiles flying through the air to give pilots in the sky and commanders back at headquarters a better sense of the battlefield.
In future battles, AI might allow a pilot to send an armed drone close to an enemy position “and have them just fire at will,” Norman added.
But it’s too soon to write an epitaph for the pilot.
“If we had had this conversation 20 years ago, almost everyone was certain that some (drones) would be serving in a combat aircraft replacement role. That simply hasn’t happened,” said Richard Aboulafia, managing director at consultancy AeroDynamic Advisory.
Nowadays, he said, drones mainly support manned military aircraft, which “allows them to get out there with a greater combat aircraft punch.”
There was speculation that the F-35 fighter, which went into operation in 2015, would be the last manned fighter jet, said Gareth Jennings, aviation editor at defense intelligence provider Janes. “But no one says that anymore.”
The F-35, built by Lockheed Martin Corp., is a stealthy fighter part of today’s generation of warplanes. There is a next generation of fighter jets in the concept stages offering even more high-tech advances, including potentially pilotless versions, but they won’t arrive before the next decade at the earliest.
Gall, who recently graduated from fighter pilot training school, said the F-35 is easy to fly and that technology would likely make its successors even easier. But he stressed that the fighter pilot’s role would remain intense.
Daywatch
Even if that role isn’t going away anytime soon, the Pentagon is working on transforming it.
The Air Combat Evolution program, run by the Pentagon’s DARPA research agency, is working on incorporating artificial intelligence into warfighting, including designing a plane that can fly itself in a dogfight.
The program has already carried out a live simulation of air combat, pitting a virtual plane piloted by an AI agent against a human pilot. If all goes well, researchers plan to carry out a live dogfight with AI-enabled planes by 2024.
Experts, though, are skeptical pilots will be eliminated from the cockpit in the near future.
“I don’t think we’ll be at the stage of not needing fighter pilots for a few decades yet,” said Jennings, the aviation editor. “Unmanned technology and the public willingness to accept not having a human in the loop are just not there, and won’t be for at least another 30 years or so.”

Four tips for buying a used car or truck in Middle Tennessee| Opinion
With the prices steadily trending down, more consumers are shopping for used cars and trucks. Here's four tips for buying a used vehicle.
- Mary Pollard is the vice president of Consumer Lending at Ascend Federal Credit Union.
There may finally be light at the end of the tunnel for Middle Tennesseans who are in the market to purchase a used vehicle. Prices for pre-owned vehicles skyrocketed during the pandemic, but have fallen for four consecutive months according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' April Consumer Price Index.
After peaking in January, used car and truck prices declined 0.2% in February, 3.8% in March and 0.4% in April. Prices flattened in May, but buyers still paid $60 less than the previous month.
While that is indeed good news, pre-owned vehicle prices are still more than 11% higher than a year ago, according to Manheim’s Used Vehicle Value Index. Kelley Blue Book puts the average price of a used car at around $28,312.
With the prices steadily trending downward, more consumers are shopping for used cars and trucks. Dealertrack, a leading automotive software and data analysis firm, says loans for used cars and trucks increase 10% year after year. Demand for used vehicle loans by our credit union members is even higher.

Here are four tips to help Middle Tennesseans make a smart purchase on a used vehicle:
1. Know what you can afford
Before deciding which type of used vehicle to buy, you must first figure out your budget. Review your income, expenses and any debt obligations to make sure the price range for your desired car fits your budget.
Make sure to factor in other expenses such as gas mileage, insurance, maintenance and repairs. Don't forget the interest you'll pay every month if you are taking out a loan.
This will give you get a complete picture of the estimated costs of owning and operating your vehicle.
2. Research used car and truck prices
Knowledge is power, so before you step onto an auto dealer’s lot, it will help to be familiar with the cost of the make and model of the vehicle you want to purchase.
There are plenty of excellent online resources: Edmunds.com and kbb.com, for example, to get you started. Those websites also provide articles on how to negotiate with dealers.
You can also visit online sellers such as Autotrader.com, Cars.com, CarMax or Carvana, when comparison shopping.

3. Get preapproved for a loan
Because of the heightened demand for used cars, you may be competing with several other buyers for popular vehicles. To give yourself an edge, get pre-approved for an auto loan if you are borrowing to make the purchase.
A preapproval will improve your negotiating power and help you close on the purchase faster — especially if other buyers have not been pre-approved. Most credit unions and banks — including Ascend — offer online tools that make it easy to submit the necessary information to obtain a used car or truck loan.
4. Know what you are buying
Before driving a newly purchased used vehicle off the lot, make sure you are confident it is in good condition and meets your needs. To be sure, you can:
- Take it for a test drive so you are comfortable with the seats, the dashboard and how the car or truck handles on the road.
- Review the vehicle’s accident and service history, if you didn’t already during the research phase, by looking at reports from a company such as Carfax or other service providers.
- Have the car or truck inspected by a mechanic or a friend who knows a thing or two about automobiles.
Car shopping for your next used vehicle can be fun, not stressful. By following these tips, you will be in the driver’s seat to make sure your pre-owned car or truck meets your transportation needs and fits your budget. Happy driving!

Shikhar Dhawan-led India match Sri Lanka's uncanny world record in 1st ODI vs West Indies
- Before Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Rishabh Pant, and Hardik Pandya have led India this year.
When Shikhar Dhawan walked out for the toss ahead of the series-opening first ODI against West Indies at the Queen's Park Oval in Port of Spain, Trinidad, he became the seventh Indian captain to lead the side this year. This is the joint most by any team in a calendar year. Previously Sri Lanka were the sole holder of the uncanny record of having most captains in a year. They also had seven captains in 2017. Before Dhawan, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Rishabh Pant, and Hardik Pandya have led India this year. For Sri Lanka, the captains in 2017 were Angelo Mathews, Dinesh Chandimal, Upul Tharanga, Rangana Herath, Lasith Malinga, Chamara Kapugedera, and Thisara Perera.
The timeline of India's seven captains so far in 2022
KL Rahul was the first one to lead India in a Test match as Virat Kohli was ruled out from the first Test in Johannesburg due to a back injury. Kohli came back to lead the side in the next two Tests but decided to step down as the Test captain - he had already quit as T20I captain and was replaced by Rohit Sharma in ODIs - after India lost the series 1-2. Rahul again had to captain in the white-ball series against South Africa as Rohit was injured.
The opener returned for the home series against West Indies and Sri Lanka but was rested for the five-match T20I series against South Africa. Rahul, the designated captain for that home series was ruled out with a groin injury on the eve of the series opener and was replaced by Rishabh Pant as the captain for the entire series.
In India's next assignment - two-match T20I series against Ireland - Hardik Pandya was appointed captain as all the other top cricketers were busy preparing for the rescheduled fifth Test match against England. However, as fate would have it, Rohit was ruled out of that series-deciding Test match after testing positive for Covid-19 paving way for Jasprit Bumrah to be India's first-ever fast-bowling captain since Kapil Dev.
Rohit returned for the limited-overs leg of the England series but Dhawan was named captain of the West Indies ODIs as the Indian selectors decided to rest all top cricketers for the three-match series. Rohit, along with other first-XI regulars, will return for the five-match T20I series against the West Indies starting July 29.
Other teams in the list
Apart from this, Zimbabwe (in 2001), England in (2011), and Australia (2021) have had six captains in a calendar year. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/shikhar-dhawan-led-india-match-sri-lanka-s-uncanny-world-record-in-1st-odi-vs-west-indies-101658492203060.html | 2022-07-22T14:01:08Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/shikhar-dhawan-led-india-match-sri-lanka-s-uncanny-world-record-in-1st-odi-vs-west-indies-101658492203060.html | true | 2 |
When a horse develops a liking for a particular track, Ascot is never a bad option and that is certainly the case with Dark Shift, who is looking for a fifth course win in the Moet & Chandon International Stakes.
Trained by Charlie Hills, the four-year-old is in the form of his life having won at Nottingham before taking the Royal Hunt Cup in fine style this season.
Now racing from an 11lb higher mark than at the start of the current campaign, Hills is hoping the grey has one more big pot in him before moving into Pattern company.
“This has always been the plan, to come here after Royal Ascot,” said Hills.
“Obviously we are bringing him back to seven furlongs but I can’t see that being a problem, he’s won over that trip before and I think if the Hunt Cup was over seven, he’d have still won.
“I think he’s pretty versatile where the ground is concerned. We know he handles cut, but it was pretty quick at the Royal meeting and I can’t imagine it will be any quicker this weekend.
“I’d like to think he’s still got another big handicap in him off his current mark and then we can maybe start looking at going up in class.
“Obviously this weekend there’s the draw (10) to take into consideration, too.”
Eve Johnson Houghton saddles the top two in the weights in Accidental Agent and Jumby respectively.
The former is four years his stablemate’s senior and meets his companion on slightly better terms than when they clashed recently in the Bunbury Cup.
Jumby finished third, beaten a length and a quarter, while Accidental Agent was seventh, two lengths further back.
“I think Accidental Agent is a big price, he’s been in such good form this year and I’m hopeful,” said Johnson Houghton.
“He wasn’t beaten far at Newmarket and he didn’t get a clear run through.
“We’ve got him in stall 19 and Jumby in six so we’re either side of the track and I think they’ve both got really good chances.
“Jumby is still improving, but we’ve gone for the cheekpieces just to help Hollie (Doyle) out a bit. He’ll go well. I think he’s definitely a Group horse of the future, but these handicaps are worth so much money you may as well try to win one along the way before you have to go for one.
“Hollie also rides Jumbly (for Harry and Roger Charlton) on Saturday which will confuse her, but I’d like to say we were called Jumby before they were called Jumbly!”
The Clive Cox-trained Aratus won four of his first five races but has found life tougher this season in three outings.
His trainer feels he failed to see out a mile last time out in the Hunt Cup so will appreciate dropping in trip.
“He’s a really nice horse, he was very productive last year and probably didn’t quite hit the line last time over a mile in the Hunt Cup,” Cox told Sky Sports Racing.
“He was highly rated on his performances last year and hopefully he can return to that vein of form. The ground will be fine for him.
“I think he just didn’t get home last time and that he’ll be more at home over seven.”
Others fancied among the 22-runner field include Andrew Balding’s Tactical, owned by the Queen, George Boughey’s Air To Air and the Bunbury Cup winner Bless Him, trained by David Simcock.

China's Central SOEs Post Steady Revenue, Profit Growth In H1
Muhammad Irfan Published July 22, 2022 | 05:40 PM
BEIJING, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 22nd Jul, 2022 ) APP):China's centrally administered state-owned enterprises (SOEs) have seen steady growth in revenue and profit in the first half of 2022 despite downward pressure, the country's top state-owned assets regulator said Friday.
The country's central SOEs raked in 19.2 trillion Yuan (about 2.84 trillion U.S. Dollars) in combined revenue in the first six months, a 12-percent expansion from a year ago, Peng Huagang, spokesperson for the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, told a press conference.
The net profits of central SOEs reached 1.1 trillion yuan, up 6.1 percent from a year ago.
The production efficiency of central SOEs kept improving. The operating profit margin of these companies stood at 7.4 percent, remaining at a comparatively high level, according to Peng.
Friday's data also showed that the overall solvency of central SOEs remained stable. At the end of June, central SOEs' average ratio of liabilities to assets stood at 65 percent, indicating that debt risks are controllable, according to Peng.

NEW YORK — New York health officials on Thursday reported a polio case, the first in the U.S. in nearly a decade.
Officials said the Rockland County resident is an unvaccinated adult, but they did not detail the person’s condition.
It appears the person had a vaccine-derived strain of the virus, perhaps from someone who got live vaccine — available in other countries, but not the U.S. — and spread it, officials said.
Polio was once one of the nation’s most feared diseases, with annual outbreaks causing thousands of cases of paralysis — many of them in children.
Vaccines became available starting in 1955, and a national vaccination campaign cut the annual number of U.S. cases to less than 100 in the 1960s and fewer than 10 in the 1970s, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In 1979, polio was declared eliminated in the U.S., meaning there was no longer routine spread. Rarely, travelers with polio have brought infections into the U.S., with the last such case in 2013.
U.S. children are still routinely vaccinated against polio. Federal officials recommend four doses: to be given at 2 months of age; 4 months; at 6 to 18 months; and at age 4 through 6 years. Some states require only three doses.
According to the CDC’s most recent childhood vaccination data, about 93% of 2-year-olds had received at least three doses of polio vaccine.
Polio spreads mostly from person to person or through contaminated water. It can infect a person’s spinal cord, causing paralysis and possibly permanent disability and death. The disease mostly affects children.
Polio is endemic in Afghanistan and Pakistan, although numerous countries in Africa, the Middle East and Asia have also reported cases in recent years.
Rockland County, in New York City’s northern suburbs, has been a center of vaccine resistance in recent years. A 2018-2019 measles outbreak there infected 312 people.
Last month, health officials in Britain warned parents to make sure children have been vaccinated because the polio virus had been found in London sewage samples. No cases of paralysis were reported. | https://www.pe.com/2022/07/21/first-us-polio-case-in-nearly-a-decade-reported-in-ny/ | 2022-07-22T14:07:00Z | https://www.pe.com/2022/07/21/first-us-polio-case-in-nearly-a-decade-reported-in-ny/ | true | 15 |
A new book has claimed Meghan Markle’s now ex-boyfriend questioned her friendship with Irish golfer Rory McIlroy.
The tell-all book, titled ‘Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors’, by investigative reporter Tom Bower was released this week.
In a chapter called ‘The Irishman’, Bower recalled how Meghan first met Rory after he “unexpectedly” nominated her for the Ice Bucket Challenge in 2014.
According to Bower, Meghan insisted he come to her friend’s apartment in New York to dump the ice on her himself – and he happily obliged.
“McIlroy had just split from his blonde fiancée, Danish tennis ace Caroline Wozniacki, and was reported to be chasing brunettes,” he wrote.
After posting their Ice Bucket Challenge video, which raised funds for motor neurone disease research, the pair went for a drink at the Fitzpatrick Hotel, where Rory was staying.
It’s understood they were spotted by the hotel’s owner, John Fitzpatrick, who invited them to join him at dinner with 20 friends at Cipriani that night.
Bower wrote: “The following morning, McIlroy arrived [Ridgewood Country Club] 30 miles away to play in a new competition. Worse for wear after a hectic night, he fell back to 101st place.”
“Nevertheless, he refused to sleep as usual near the golf course to be ready the following day. Instead, he drove back to New York to see Meghan. His performance suffered.”
Meghan, who was dating chef Cory Vitiello at the time, later gushed about the sports star on her blog ‘The Tig’, which was deleted ahead of her wedding to Prince Harry in 2018.
In a blog post, the actress wrote: “Ah yes. Rory McIlroy. THE Rory McIlroy. Whispered (and shouted) to be the foremost golfer in the world, loved by Tiger, respected by Palmer, and dumper of frigid water on to my lone head for the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. That Rory McIlroy.”
“He is a force who has the propensity to actually work hard and play hard — relishing intense practices to substantiate his title, embracing nights of sipping
Opus One (his bold and impressive choice of wine) and indulging in group dinners at Cipriani — for the balance, of course.”
“And yet, beyond his work/play ethic, the most endearing quality of this man is his character – as real and honest as they come, appreciating a simple smile, never shunning a fan photo, enjoying a plate of pasta with veal ragu, and expressing a love for his parents that is rarely seen in men his age.”
“Or at any age, to be honest. He is not just the real deal… he is real. And perhaps that is what makes him even more cherished.”
In the book, Bower claimed Meghan was “keen to use their close relationship to promote herself.”
“She encouraged the media to publish photographs of McIlroy and herself,” he wrote. “As she would later admit, she ‘occasionally set up a paparazzi photo or let info slip out to the press.'”
According to Bower, Meghan’s chef boyfriend Cory questioned her relationship with Rory at the time, but the Suits star insisted they were just friends, and “he believed her.”
Later that year, Meghan used her connections to nab a speaker role at the One Young World conference in Dublin.
“Excited about her trip, she posted a message to an Irish friend of McIlroy: ‘Lock something down. I head out there October 14-17. Have a wonderful night X MM,’” Bower wrote.
Meghan travelled to Ireland with her boyfriend Cory, but went for a solo dinner with Rory at Fade Street Social during their time in Dublin.
Their dinner date was written about in the press at the time, and a newspaper claimed Meghan looked “smitten” with Rory – which “annoyed” her Canadian boyfriend.
In the book, Bower alleged Cory once again “challenged” Meghan over her friendship with Rory, but she said they were just friends and “once more he believed her.”
It’s believed Meghan’s agent later contacted the newspaper for a correction, and the following day they printed a story about her and Cory looking “madly in love” in Ireland. | https://goss.ie/featured/new-book-claims-meghan-markles-boyfriend-questioned-her-friendship-with-irish-golfer-rory-mcilroy-305218 | 2022-07-22T14:09:16Z | https://goss.ie/featured/new-book-claims-meghan-markles-boyfriend-questioned-her-friendship-with-irish-golfer-rory-mcilroy-305218 | true | 2 |
RMI has acquired The Climate Map to build internal expertise on carbon dioxide removal and assess its long-term role in a climate-secure future, alongside necessary emissions reduction efforts.
BOULDER, Colo., July 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- RMI, formerly Rocky Mountain Institute, is acquiring The Climate Map, a nonprofit that conducts comprehensive science-based assessments of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) solutions, and develops roadmaps for the responsible research, development, and deployment of those solutions.
CDR refers to the removal of carbon dioxide from the air or the oceans (as opposed to point-source carbon capture, which involves the capture of carbon emissions from fossil fuel plants and industry). RMI is committing more resources and expertise to CDR to better understand the CDR field and catalyze its development in an equitable and sustainable way.
RMI's CDR initiative will assess CDR's long-term role and collaborate with leading global researchers and practitioners to mobilize action on critical projects and priorities to advance CDR, alongside the emissions reduction efforts that remain critical to climate stability.
"While policy, markets, and the solution landscape should be focused on deploying the cheapest and most effective resources first, the CDR industry is the waste management industry of this century and will need to grow in order to prevent catastrophic climate change," said Jon Creyts, chief program officer, RMI.
RMI's acquisition of The Climate Map and the launch of its new CDR hub is supported by leading philanthropists, corporations, and venture capitalists active in the CDR ecosystem, including the Grantham Foundation for the Protection of the Environment, Stripe Climate, Preston-Werner Foundation, Protocol Labs, and Lowercarbon Capital.

Gabriel Jesus waxes lyrical about 'animal' in Arsenal squad following £45m transfer
ARSENAL will hope that Gabriel Jesus can fire them into the Champions League.
Arteta welcomes Zinchenko to Arsenal after Man City move
Gabriel Jesus has labelled Arsenal and Brazil team-mate Gabriel Martinelli an ‘animal’ as the young forward never tires. The pair have linked up at club level for the first time since Jesus’ £45million transfer from Premier League champions Manchester City.
Jesus has enjoyed a successful pre-season so far, finding the net three times for Mikel Arteta’s side. Arteta was desperate to bring in the striker to score the goals required to finally get Arsenal into the Champions League.
The 25-year-old has acclimatised himself well and is getting to know his new team-mates. And Martinelli has clearly caught his attention as Arsenal prepare for their Premier League opener against Crystal Palace.
“Woah! Martinelli – he’s an animal. An animal! He never gets tired!,” Jesus told Podpah Podcast.
JUST IN: West Ham in advanced talks with Scamacca after Arsenal transfer rumour
The forward had grown frustrated at City and felt that he required a new challenge this summer. The arrivals of Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez placed him further down the pecking order under Pep Guardiola.
Arteta - who worked with Jesus when he was assistant coach at City - made the former Palmeiras man his top target and finally secured a £45m move. Arsenal struggled for goals from their forwards last term, with Alexandre Lacazette netting just four times in the top-flight.
Eddie Nketiah scored 10 times across all competitions and has been rewarded with a long-term contract to provide back-up to Jesus.

Jesus revealed that he had been thinking about leaving City for two years and that his mum called after a recent Arsenal outing to tell him he looked happier. “I’m a person that thinks a lot. I’ve been thinking about [leaving City] for one or two years. The best decision that I could have made is to be here at Arsenal,” he continued.
“I needed to play football with a smile on my face again. My mother watched our game [against Orlando City] and called me to say, ‘I can see you’re different, you’re playing happy!’. I got emotional hearing that.
“[My new team-mates] at the club are so hungry, they’re desperate to get this club back to winning a Premier League after 20 years. This kind of challenge excites me a lot to be here.”
Meanwhile, Arsenal are closing in on confirming Oleksandr Zinchenko as their fifth summer arrival. Jesus’ former City team-mate is expected to join in a deal worth around £32m. | https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1644497/Arsenal-news-Gabriel-Jesus-animal-transfer-Mikel-Arteta-Premier-League | 2022-07-22T14:11:02Z | https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1644497/Arsenal-news-Gabriel-Jesus-animal-transfer-Mikel-Arteta-Premier-League | false | 1 |

What is the lip-lock challenge? Why have eight Karnataka college students been booked?
A video showing a boy and a girl in their uniforms kissing while their friends cheer them on has gone viral. The story has taken a darker twist with one of the girls in the clip alleging sexual assault in a complaint to the police
Eight students have been booked by Karnataka police after video of college students kissing in the presence of others at a private residence created a controversy after going viral on social media.
The students were booked for alleged offences punishable under sections 376, 354, 354 (C) and 120 (B) of the IPC and different sections of the POCSO and IT Acts, police sources said.
A 17-year-old boy, who uploaded the lip-lock video on social media, is one of the accused.
Let’s take a look at what happened, the challenge and why the students have been booked:
What happened?
As per NDTV, the students reportedly got together at an apartment in February. The video purportedly showed a boy and a girl in their uniforms, kissing while their friends cheer them on.
The video was filmed six months ago, but was uploaded recently, police said.
The kiss apparently was part of a "truth or dare" game.
The act was part of the lip-lock competition, the Mangaluru police told DNA.
One of the boys in the group had shared the video on WhatsApp which came to the notice of their school, as per the report.
What’s the fuss about?
The story has taken a darker turn.
A girl seen in the video told police that she knew the boys in that apartment and that she had a physical relationship with one of them which was filmed. The other boys blackmailed her using the video, the girl alleged, as per NDTV.
Sources said the case was registered after investigations revealed that all the eight boys sexually assaulted the two girls in the group on different occasions at several places using the clips of sexual acts as blackmail.
Sources say that the students belonged to a reputed college and the video has shocked the traditional coastal district and raised concern among parents.
The Mangaluru police are acting swiftly on the issue as it is likely to turn into a crisis.
N Shashi Kumar told news agency PTI that the police will also verify whether the students had used drugs while holding the lip-lock competition.
One of the accused students has gone abroad, and the police will question all the accused in the case. The police department had requested college and school authorities to keep vigil on the activities of students.
It has also directed the authorities of educational institutions to allow police to investigate serious matters instead of sorting it out through internal committees.
City police commissioner N Shashi Kumar said the probe will be taken to its logical end.
The college managements should keep a vigil on students’ activities and bring to the notice of the police such cases of extreme indiscipline and misconduct, he said.

Women's cricket is making its debut at the Commonwealth Games. The Indian squad is currently training in Bengaluru and is scheduled to leave for Birmingham on Sunday.
The BCCI is in touch with the Indian Olympic Association on the issue.
"Few of the visas came in today but they are still six left for processing including three players and three players support staff," an IOA source told PTI.

The partnership kicks off with the launch of the NEXT GAME Slide Collection
BRAINTREE, Mass. and EXETER, N.H., July 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- OOFOS, the global leader in Active Recovery footwear, and Bauer Hockey, the world's number one hockey brand, today launched an innovative product collaboration that enhances hockey athlete recovery using advanced footwear technologies. OOFOS and Bauer have teamed-up to launch a collection of NEXT GAME sandals that allow hockey athletes to start the recovery process the minute they step off the ice.
Skating applies pressure on ankles and joints in and near a player's foot, making recovery after ice time and during the off-season extremely important.

Combined, these innovative technologies help athletes recover more quickly and help prepare them for their NEXT GAME.

"Bauer and OOFOS are both hyper-focused on the performance of the athlete. Recovery is integral to performance, and it's a growing focus for athletes at all levels of the game," said Brad James, Senior Director of Strategy at Bauer. "Hockey players wear skates nearly all year, and when summer hits, athletes often switch to footwear that offers little to no support. Our NEXT GAME slides provide the opportunity for Active Recovery and support so that athletes maintain their strength between seasons and optimize performance between training and games during the season."
Perfect for sliding on and off between games or training sessions, the NEXT GAME slide collection by Bauer features OOFOS proprietary OOfoam ™ technology, which absorbs impact on a player's foot, ankle and body. Combined with a patented footbed design, OOFOS cradle the heel and arches for the optimal combination of soft and stable support. OOfoam™ technology is proven to absorb 37% more impact than traditional foam materials, reducing load and stress on joints, ankles and feet, so you can recover faster*. The full line of OOFOS has received the APMA (American Podiatric Medical Association) Seal of Acceptance.
The Bauer-OOFOS NEXT GAME collection of slides will be available starting July 22, 2022, at OOFOS.com, Bauer.com and select hockey specialty stores in the US, Canada and internationally.

Mao: I will continue serving as Museveni's minister and DP president
What you need to know:
- Uganda’s legislative body Friday finished a crucial process that formalizes Mao’s crossover to a government he has fiercely criticized for more than two decades.
- The DP president and his right-hand man, Siranda, face an ouster by top DP members but Mao remorseless about a deal sealed after long-drawn-out negotiations with the State.
The Justice and Constitutional Affairs Minister appointee Nobert Mao has vowed not to step down as Opposition Democratic Party (DP) President, setting tone for battles that await Uganda’s oldest political organization.
“The constitution of DP and the cooperation agreement (with Mr Museveni) are not mutually exclusive. I signed it as president of DP and will continue exercising my duty as DP president,” Mao said on Friday.
Mao, 55, was Friday approved by Parliament a day after what he described as an “unusual appointment” to President Museveni’s cabinet in a seismic July 21 move.
But Mao is faced with an ouster by sections of outraged senior DP members.
“I have heard voices calling for me to step aside. The reason would have been for instance if members said I will be too busy. That one I would listen,” Mao remarked on Friday.
The ex-Gulu City chairperson had Thursday evening said in accepting the position “after year-long consultations,” he was daring to put a rare post-Museveni pitch for “transition.”
Top DP figures accuse Mao, 55, and his right-hand man but also DP Secretary General, Gerald Siranda, of selfishly participating in a nonbinding deal -concluded July 20 with Mr Museveni- poised to generate extreme rifts in the party founded nearly 70 years ago.
But Mao is remorseless about the deal sealed after long-drawn-out negotiations with the State.
“The venomous outburst which I heard definitely shows that many of our members have not yet internalized the implications of this agreement,” he told journalists at Parliament on Friday.
The veteran politician July 21 added; “It is important that DP has a leadership which is committed to those issues.”
On Friday, the House also approved Agago woman MP Beatrace Akori as state minister for economic monitoring.
In a mini-cabinet reshuffle on Thursday, Mr Museveni repositioned Akori's predecessor Peter Ogwang to replace Education and Sports State Minister Hamson Obua who was appointed government chief whip.
The appointees now await swearing in at a yet to be disclosed date.
Parliament has also cleared 16 judicial officers recently appointed by Mr Museveni.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a set of gun safety bills into law on Thursday that require more regulations on gun sales and dealers within the state as well as increased information sharing between schools and law enforcement agencies.
The state — amid a series of high-profile mass shootings that have spurred a national conversation on gun ownership — has passed multiple new measures this month, including allowing for gun violence victims to file civil suits against companies that manufacture the firearms used in crimes.
One of the eight laws signed on Thursday includes a 10-year prohibition on gun possession if someone is convicted of child abuse or elder abuse, according to a news release from the governor’s office.
Another law now requires schools to share information on child access prevention laws and safe firearm storage, as well as mandating reporting to law enforcement of any threat or perceived threat of a homicidal act.
“California has the toughest gun safety laws in the nation, but none of us can afford to be complacent in tackling the gun violence crisis ravaging our country,” Newsom said in the release, adding that the state will continue to “lead on lifesaving polices that provide a model for action by other states and the nation.”
Additional laws signed focus on dealer and sales regulations, specifically restricting where guns and other parts can be sold.

- World-class philanthropist and long-time Michael J. Fox Foundation Board member Lily Safra, chairwoman of the Edmond J. Safra Foundation, passed away on July 9, 2022, at age 87
- Mrs. Safra's transformative generosity and leadership supported a wide range of The Michael J. Fox Foundation's scientific programs and accomplishments
NEW YORK, July 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research (MJFF) mourns the loss of visionary philanthropist and Foundation Board member Lily Safra, who passed away on Saturday, July 9, 2022 in Geneva, Switzerland. As chairwoman of the Edmond J. Safra Foundation, Mrs. Safra provided transformative support to hundreds of organizations around the world in the name of her late husband, Edmond J. Safra. Her philanthropy extended to education, science and medicine, religion, culture and humanitarian relief.
Edmond J. Safra lived with Parkinson's disease (PD), and Mrs. Safra was deeply committed to finding a cure. Within months of MJFF's inception, she joined the Foundation's Board of Directors, setting in motion an outpouring of strategic grant-making over the next two decades that transformed the course of Parkinson's disease research and care.
"Lily's friendship was instrumental in establishing our path and expanding our work further than we could have dreamed," said Michael J. Fox and Tracy Pollan. "She sharpened our vision and lent us her strength so that we might make a greater difference in the lives of all people and families touched by Parkinson's disease. We will be grateful forever."
Mrs. Safra's personal generosity, paired with her leadership of the Edmond J. Safra Foundation, provided sustained support for MJFF's top scientific and care priorities, including:
- In 2003, Mrs. Safra's visionary support allowed MJFF to establish the Edmond J. Safra Global Genetics Consortia resulting in the first genome-wide association study of Parkinson's, a vital step in identifying genetic changes linked to the disease. Over subsequent years this program would come to revolutionize scientific understanding of the genetics of PD, opening avenues of research still avidly pursued to this day.
- In 2007, the Edmond J. Safra Foundation backed MJFF's LEAPS (Linked Efforts to Accelerate Parkinson's Solutions) program, an innovative funding model that provided multi-year, multi-million-dollar grants to "all-star" research teams to solve urgent questions in PD diagnosis or treatment. This support enabled research on alpha-synuclein — a protein that clumps in the brains of nearly all 6 million people worldwide who live with Parkinson's — marking the start of an ongoing partnership that would propel this then-emerging field of research on its path to becoming the most important therapeutic target in Parkinson's.
- In 2010, Mrs. Safra provided the first individual leadership gift to MJFF's landmark clinical study, the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI). Since then, PPMI has changed how research is done and what scientists know about the brain. It is a cornerstone of our understanding of disease and has heavily influenced clinical trial design and spurred a significant increase in industry investment in PD. The study's considerable growth is possible because of the uninterrupted flow of support from the Edmond J. Safra Foundation and Mrs. Safra.
- In 2012, Mrs. Safra facilitated Jewels For Hope, auctioning her personal collection of jewels for the benefit of 32 charitable organizations, including a $1-million donation to MJFF. That same year, MJFF dedicated its largest meeting space, the locus of countless scientific decisions and creative ingenuity, in memory of Edmond J. Safra. Mrs. Safra and Michael J. Fox dedicated the room in a memorable dedication ceremony attended by Board, leadership, staff and members of the Parkinson's community.
- In 2014, as part of an effort to address the worldwide shortage of movement disorder specialists — neurologists with additional training in Parkinson's and other movement disorders — the Edmond J. Safra Foundation partnered with MJFF to establish The Edmond J. Safra Fellowship in Movement Disorders. The program provides funding for clinical centers to train more clinician-researcher neurologists worldwide, effectively growing the global base of movement disorder specialists treating people with Parkinson's and contributing to research toward new and improved treatments. The Edmond J. Safra Fellowship in Movement Disorders is on track to graduate 72 new PD specialists by 2028.
To honor Mrs. Safra for her decades-long commitment to speeding a Parkinson's cure and bettering quality of life for the millions of people and families living with the disease, MJFF created the inaugural Edmond J. Safra Humanitarian Award in 2020.
"There are no words to adequately convey our grief at this loss. Mrs. Safra was a true giant of philanthropy and someone we have been privileged to know and work with from the beginning," said Deborah W. Brooks, MJFF Co-Founder and CEO. "Her trust in our shared vision gave us the confidence to pursue even the most far-reaching objectives, and her outspoken support opened the door to opportunities we never imagined. Her compassionate spirit will remain a constant source of inspiration for us all."
As the world's largest nonprofit funder of Parkinson's research, The Michael J. Fox Foundation is dedicated to accelerating a cure for Parkinson's disease and improved therapies for those living with the condition today. The Foundation pursues its goals through an aggressively funded, highly targeted research program coupled with active global engagement of scientists, Parkinson's patients, business leaders, clinical trial participants, donors and volunteers. In addition to funding $1.5 billion in research to date, the Foundation has fundamentally altered the trajectory of progress toward a cure. Operating at the hub of worldwide Parkinson's research, the Foundation forges groundbreaking collaborations with industry leaders, academic scientists and government research funders; creates a robust open- access data set and biosample library to speed scientific breakthroughs and treatment with its landmark clinical study, PPMI; increases the flow of participants into Parkinson's disease clinical trials with its online tool, Fox Trial Finder; promotes Parkinson's awareness through high-profile advocacy, events and outreach; and coordinates the grassroots involvement of thousands of Team Fox members around the world.

Secretary Planning Syed Zafar Ali Shah Friday inaugurated the software for the 7th Population and Housing Census 2022, as the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS), ramps up preparation for the first-ever Digital Population and Housing Census.
During his visit to PBS, the secretary was briefed about data dissemination dashboards especially, price information management system (PIMS). The listing and enumeration applications of the 7th Population and Housing Census 2022 were also displayed.
While addressing the PBS staff, Shah emphasized that good leadership, efficient team, and vigilance at the operating level can be beneficial for an organization’s development.
Earlier, Chief Statistician Dr. Naeem uz Zafar welcomed the secretary on behalf of PBS staff. He informed him that the data collection exercise for the pilot census has been started by PBS field staff for testing the tools, mechanism, and field operations. Through this exercise, PBS will be able to point out and rectify all minor and major issues regarding software and field execution plans before undergoing full rollout.
Member (RM/SS) Sarwar Gondal in his presentation on the census, informed that with the approval of the results of the 6th census by the Council of Common Interest (CCI), it was advised to conduct next census immediately by using latest tools and technologies and following world’s best practices. It was also recommended that for wider acceptability of census results, all the stakeholders must be part of the census process from planning to finalization and dissemination of results through an effective communication strategy.
A census monitoring committee comprising important provincial functionaries, researchers, and demographers was constituted to monitor all activities of the population census. Geo-tagging, data collection and listing software, and standardized concepts of field force through extensive training and real-time monitoring are the innovations recommended by the census monitoring committee for reliability, acceptability, and reducing the time between field operation and results announcements.
Member National Accounts Syed Ejaz Ali Shah Wasti gave an overview of the system of National Accounts, prices, macro-economic statistics, public sector development projects (PSDP), and compilation of National Accounts. He also discussed National Price Monitoring Committee, its composition, and its functions.
Shah appreciated the efforts of the leadership and supporting officers of PBS and showed keen interest in both fields. He said that both activities are crucial for policymaking and planning. He showed satisfaction over the preparations of PBS for the upcoming census. | https://propakistani.pk/2022/07/22/software-for-7th-digital-population-census-inaugurated/ | 2022-07-22T14:35:06Z | https://propakistani.pk/2022/07/22/software-for-7th-digital-population-census-inaugurated/ | false | 1 |
The partnership kicks off with the launch of the NEXT GAME Slide Collection
BRAINTREE, Mass. and EXETER, N.H., July 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- OOFOS, the global leader in Active Recovery footwear, and Bauer Hockey, the world's number one hockey brand, today launched an innovative product collaboration that enhances hockey athlete recovery using advanced footwear technologies. OOFOS and Bauer have teamed-up to launch a collection of NEXT GAME sandals that allow hockey athletes to start the recovery process the minute they step off the ice.
Skating applies pressure on ankles and joints in and near a player's foot, making recovery after ice time and during the off-season extremely important. The NEXT GAME slides feature OOFOS' OOfoam™ technology and patented arch support to absorb impact, reduce stress on the body and enable more natural movement. Combined, these innovative technologies help athletes recover more quickly and help prepare them for their NEXT GAME.
"As the leader in Active Recovery footwear, OOFOS is dedicated to maximizing athlete performance," says Steve Gallo, President of OOFOS. "There is no better feeling than pulling off skates after a tough game or training session and stepping into a pair of OOFOS. We share Bauer's commitment to player performance and are thrilled to work together to help boost recovery between skating sessions and make it easier for hockey players to perform at their best, day after day."
"Bauer and OOFOS are both hyper-focused on the performance of the athlete. Recovery is integral to performance, and it's a growing focus for athletes at all levels of the game," said Brad James, Senior Director of Strategy at Bauer. "Hockey players wear skates nearly all year, and when summer hits, athletes often switch to footwear that offers little to no support. Our NEXT GAME slides provide the opportunity for Active Recovery and support so that athletes maintain their strength between seasons and optimize performance between training and games during the season."
Perfect for sliding on and off between games or training sessions, the NEXT GAME slide collection by Bauer features OOFOS proprietary OOfoam ™ technology, which absorbs impact on a player's foot, ankle and body. Combined with a patented footbed design, OOFOS cradle the heel and arches for the optimal combination of soft and stable support. OOfoam™ technology is proven to absorb 37% more impact than traditional foam materials, reducing load and stress on joints, ankles and feet, so you can recover faster*. The full line of OOFOS has received the APMA (American Podiatric Medical Association) Seal of Acceptance.
The Bauer-OOFOS NEXT GAME collection of slides will be available starting July 22, 2022, at OOFOS.com, Bauer.com and select hockey specialty stores in the US, Canada and internationally.
*Based on a 2018 University of Virginia School of Medicine Speed Clinic.

LONDON, United Kingdom – Prince Harry won permission on Friday, July 22, to legally challenge a government decision that denied him police protection while in Britain.
Harry, Queen Elizabeth’s grandson, received the full police protection generally given to royal figures before he decided to step back from his royal duties and move to the United States with wife Meghan in 2020.
But the Home Office — the UK ministry responsible for policing, immigration and security — decided in February that year that Harry would cease receiving personal police security while in Britain even if he were to cover the cost himself.
On Friday, a British High Court judge granted permission for part of Harry’s claim for a judicial review – a process where a judge examines the lawfulness of a public body’s decision.
Price Harry’s lawyers – who have previously said in court that a member of the royal household was involved in the decision – were not immediately reachable for comment.
There have been signs of tensions between Harry and the royal family since at least 2019, when he and Meghan decided to set up their own household, breaking from the joint operation they had with Prince William and his wife Kate.
Harry and Meghan have relied on a private security team since moving to California, where they live with their two young children.
Harry’s lawyers, however, have said that private security arrangements did not give the prince the level of protection he needed while visiting Britain.
No date set
Harry’s mother, Princess Diana, died in a Paris car crash while trying to escape paparazzi photographers, and the prince, also known as the Duke of Sussex, has expressed worries about “history repeating itself”, in an apparent reference to the 1997 tragedy.
Harry and Meghan have in recent years received critical coverage in parts of the British press, which he has described as “toxic”.
Friday’s permission was granted on several different grounds although not on all of those the prince’s legal team had sought, a judgment published on the court’s website showed.
The court gave permission for the judicial review on the grounds that the prince should have been informed about the Home Office’s security policy before the decision to deny him police protection was made.
He should have had the chance to make his case to the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures, or RAVEC, the Home Office wing that made the decision, the judgement added.
No date was set for the judicial review.
The Home Office said via email it would not comment on ongoing legal proceedings.
“The UK Government’s protective security system is rigorous and proportionate. It is our long-standing policy not to provide detailed information on those arrangements, as doing so could compromise their integrity and affect individuals’ security,” a government spokesperson said. – Rappler.com | https://www.rappler.com/world/europe/prince-harry-wins-bid-challenge-united-kingdom-decision-denying-police-protection/ | 2022-07-22T14:48:20Z | https://www.rappler.com/world/europe/prince-harry-wins-bid-challenge-united-kingdom-decision-denying-police-protection/ | true | 7 |
On a September evening in 1793, a well-connected young gentleman named Harry Bedlow escorted a demure teenage seamstress named Lanah Sawyer through the twisting lanes of lower Manhattan. They admired the mansions of the city’s elite along Broadway, enjoyed glasses of ice cream—a novelty at the time—and strolled around the picturesque Battery, at the tip of the island. When it grew late, Bedlow promised to see his companion to the house where she lived with her parents near Wall Street. Instead he directed her into Ann Street, just below present-day City Hall Park, where he suddenly grabbed hold of her, dragged her screaming through a vacant lot and into a brothel, where he violently raped her.
A scion of one of the city’s wealthiest families, Bedlow no doubt supposed that he could assault Sawyer with impunity. To his astonishment, the girl’s stepfather, John Callanan, a tough harbor pilot who embodied the new nation’s pugnacious democratic spirit, took Bedlow to court, initiating his prosecution for rape. Conviction was a grave offense and could, in theory, lead to a death sentence, though no “gentleman” had been charged with rape in New York for almost 40 years. The Sawyer case became a national sensation. Its outcome led to an attempted suicide, street riots and later litigation that touched members of the Federalist elite, including Alexander Hamilton.

The East End is certainly feeling the heat this week. Temperatures have been hovering in the 90s all week and the Hamptons have been under a heat advisory all week.
Stay cool this summer by staying indoors in air-conditioned areas — and imagine cooling off in some of these fantastic outdoor showers at properties in the Hamptons. No matter how luxurious or simple an outdoor shower is, there’s nothing like taking one after a day at the beach, playing a game of tennis or just a refreshing rinse on a steamy day.
Shower for Two?
A Westhampton Beach home along coveted Dune Road, listed at $21.5 million, has 225 feet of sprawling ocean frontage, but what does one do when they come off the beach? Hop in this “double” outdoor shower, of course. The roomy, enclosed shower stall just off the pool deck offers two showerheads with a nearby changing room. Speaking of double, the property at 175 Dune Road offers rare double dune and jetty protection. A private “over the dune” walkway leads to the beach, where there is even a foot washing station. Plus, there is a stunning 6,000-square-foot with a gunite pool and attached waterfall spa. A bonus is deeded right of way to the bay just across Dune Road. Corcoran’s Ashley Farrell and Nancy Heaney represent the listing.
Outdoor Shower Off the Primary Suite
The primary suite at 31 Gilberts Path comes with a gorgeous private bathroom, but for a little added luxury step outside to a private deck with an outdoor shower, surrounded by lush landscaping. That’s where you will find the JEE-Os Soho 01 freestanding outdoor shower, which offers a pressure balance valve. Fashion designer Tony Melillo owns this home, which is for sale with Rylan Jacka of Sotheby’s International Realty. The current asking price is $4.685 million.
Tranquil and Chic
Outside of the home at 5 Kings Lane in Southampton is an outdoor shower that seemingly transports you to some tranquil spa with its three-sided wooden slat surrounding and chic black shower head and handheld sprayer. The shower, along with a large deck, heated gunite saltwater pool and bluestone patio are all surrounded by professional mature landscaping for privacy. The home is listed for $2,995,000 with Cynthia Beck, Caroline A. Sarraf, and Alyra Hoffman of Compass.
Bench seating
The 2.15-acre grounds of the custom 7,000-square-foot home at 914 Ocean Road in Bridgehampton, listed for $14.75 million, include many luxurious amenities. There are multiple entertaining areas with an expansive outdoor kitchen. Then there is the heated gunite pool and spa and a multi-level 1,500-square-foot pool house. But you don’t even need to go inside to cool off. There’s an enclosed outdoor shower with bench seating and what looks to be another JEE-Os freestanding shower, perfect for cooling off after a trip to the nearby beach or a game of tennis on the property’s hydro Har-Tru tennis court. Douglas Elliman’s Robin Bender and William Wolff have the listing.
Custom Freestanding Outdoor Shower
A custom free-standing outdoor shower can be found just off the sun deck at the modern beach cottage at 163 Atlantic Avenue in Amagansett. We imagine it gets a lot of use as the home is just three houses from the Atlantic Ocean in the Amagansett Dunes. Award-winning architect Francois de Menil designed the home, drawing inspiration from the seascape. Tim O’Connor of Brown Harris Stevens has the listing for $5,995,000.
Bonus: Draped in Wisteria
Among the “magical outdoor spaces” that Dana Trotter of Sotheby’s International Realty says this East Hampton Cape at 128 Three Mile Harbor-Hog Creek Road has is a simple outdoor shower draped in wisteria. The shower is located just off the home, near the heated saltwater pool. The backyard also features a shade garden that sounds like a good spot to be on a hot day like today. The home, which was listed in June, has a contract pending. The last asking price was $2.995 million.

Taylor Swift Fans Destroy 'Jeopardy!' Contestants for Missing Taylor Clue
'Jeopardy!' Taylor Swift Fans Need to Calm Down After Contestants Whiff on Taylor Clue
7/22/2022 7:26 AM PT
Historic moment on "Jeopardy!" ... as all 3 contestants are LOSERS, at least in the eyes of Taylor Swift's legion of fans, who are destroying the competitors for missing a clue about the singer.
Yes, Taylor became the star of Wednesday night's episode when returning champ Matt Mierswa selected a $400 clue in the category, "Title That Completes the Rhyme."
The clue itself was pretty entertaining as Ken Jennings stiffly read, "And I'm just like oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh, you need to just stop, like can you just not, step on my gown?"
Matt and the other 2 contestants were dumbfounded ... no one buzzed in, and you could almost hear the Swifties screaming at their televisions!!!
DUH!!! Obvi the answer is: What is "You Need To Calm Down?"
Welp the outrage was, pardon the pun, swift as Swifties lost their collective minds on social media ... ripping into the contestants for the "triple stumper." One even demanded they "shut the whole show down."
Matt, as reigning champ, took most of the heat and, no, Swifties didn't care that he eventually took the W again.
He ended up taking home $26,644, but he better not spend a cent on attending a Taylor Swift concert. It wouldn't be pretty. | https://www.tmz.com/2022/07/22/jeopardy-fans-rip-contestants-miss-clue-taylor-swift/ | 2022-07-22T14:50:03Z | https://www.tmz.com/2022/07/22/jeopardy-fans-rip-contestants-miss-clue-taylor-swift/ | false | 1 |
Waterloo Regional Police say that a man was arrested earlier this week after allegedly returning to the scene of the crime in Waterloo.
According to police, officers were called to a home near McDougall Road and Keats Way on Monday at around 3:40 p.m. where a break-in was thought to be underway.
They say the suspect had entered the home through a basement door that was unlocked.
By the time officers had reached the scene, the suspect was gone, according to police.
The next day, police were called to the home a second time as the man had returned.
This time, officers arrived in time to apprehend the man.
A 32-year-old man is facing a charge of breaking and entering. | https://globalnews.ca/news/9008561/waterloo-break-in-mcdougall-road-keats-way/ | 2022-07-22T14:55:02Z | https://globalnews.ca/news/9008561/waterloo-break-in-mcdougall-road-keats-way/ | true | null |
A murder case has been registered at the PM Palem Police Station, Vizag City, exactly where the same person was reported missing just four days ago. Mrudula (29) had raised a missing complaint for her husband B Murali (43) on 17 July 2022, and the police have now found her involvement in her husband’s death.
Murali was a professor working in Eritrea, East Africa. Mrudula and her seven-year-old son returned to India in 2019 and have been staying here in Vizag since then at Rickshaw Colony, Marikavalasa. After eight years of working abroad, Murali returned to Vizag on 9 July 2022.
Inspector of PM Palem said that upon carrying out an investigation based on the missing complaint, they found that Mrudula and her illicit partner identified as Hari Shankar Varma murdered Murali to continue their extra-marital affair. Mrudula claimed that she dropped Murali at Kommadi on 11 July from where Murali was supposed to go to Srikakulam to visit his mother. She alleged that she lodged the complaint after waiting for a few days for his return. She also claimed that he left with a bag containing ₹5,00,000.
But upon preliminary investigation, the police found that Mrudula along with her illicit partner murdered Murali on 10 July at her residence and dumped him under the bridge near Marikavalasa wrapped in a carpet. The police identified the body with the help of the missing person case and the belongings found near it. According to the police, Murali was first assaulted and then strangled to death. He was dumped under the bridge, and after around four days, the accused poured petrol on the dead body and set it on fire.
The Vizag Police have arrested the accused for murder.

There are some who believe Najee Harris was too heavily utilized in his breakout rookie season that coincided with the retirement tour of Ben Roethlisberger, and that faction of analysts are about to do some very real pearl-clutching if the former first-round pick has his way in 2022. The 24-year-old led the NFL in 2021 with 381 touches -- the first rookie in the history of the league to have more than 300 carries and greater than 70 receptions -- but he recently noted an expectation that the Pittsburgh Steelers would potentially lighten his load for the coming season.
That is obviously no guarantee, with Roethlisberger retired but a ton of uncertainty at the quarterback position going forward at Hei-... er ... um ... Acrisure Field, and Harris readily understands this. And given that understanding, he says he's ready for as many touches in 2022 as the Steelers are prepared to give him, even if that means decimating the record he said last season in that category.
Rumors of his weight gain were overstated, Harris made clear weeks ago, and he's primed for action.
"I'll get 500 [touches]," he told "The Rich Eisen Show" ahead of training camp. "Listen, I didn't have an issue with it. It was the media who had an issue with it. I told them every game, 'If this is the way we're winning, I can carry the load.' I train to carry loads.
"It's not something that I haven't done before. I did it in college, high school, NFL. For me to get that much carries, I was like, man, is we winning games? It was a long streak where someone was saying if I have 25 carries, then we're undefeated."

For reference, and to prove Harris' point, his last season with the Crimson Tide saw him amass 294 touches for 1,891 yards and 30 touchdowns, and Alabama went on to win the national championship that season with Harris also garnering honors as SEC Championship Game MVP. This means what he did as an NFL rookie was nothing new to him, and he's perfectly OK with doing it again, and again, and again -- for as many seasons as the Steelers need him to.
"So, OK, this is our identity right here," he added. "Let's keep this going on, let's keep this going. Listen, if I get 500 carries, as long as we're winning, it doesn't really matter."
Of course, there's often a difference between wishing for something and the reality of what comes with receiving it, because running backs in the NFL have one of the shortest shelf lives around -- given the punishment they take on a regular basis -- and the Steelers understand this, which is why Harris initially stated there's a chance his touches move in the opposite direction with the obvious goal of extending the career of what's already become an integral piece of the Steelers future.
But that would also require solid quarterback play, and training camp will open with an all-out competition between Mitch Trubisky, [rookie] Kenny Pickett, Mason Rudolph and Chris Oladokun. As for which of the four Harris predicts will emerge as QB1 for the team's Week 1 opener against the Cincinnati Bengals?
He has no idea. The Pro Bowler is simply ready to do his job.

Liverpool have announced the death of former chairman and owner David Moores at the age of 76.
The Moores family held a stake in the club for over 50 years with David becoming owner of the Anfield outfit in 1991 before selling his majority stake in 2007. His death comes weeks just after his wife of 39 years, Marge, passed away.
The cause of his death is currently unknown but tributes have since been flooding in, with the Reds also penning touching message, confirming his passing to supporters. They concluded the message by offering their thoughts to Moores' family following the sad news of his death.
Liverpool icon Kenny Dalglish has also been one of the first to offer his condolences with a message on Twitter on behalf of himself and his wife. The former Reds player and manager wrote: "Marina and I are both very saddened by the passing of David Moores.
"He was a loyal Liverpool fan whose dream came true when he was appointed Chairman, & he did a tremendous amount to help the Club. Our condolences go to his family. He’ll be greatly missed by all who knew him. RIP"
Jamie Carragher also followed up those sentiments with his own tribute. "RIP Mr Chairman. When I think of the good times I had a @LFC David Moores was at the heart of it. He will be sorely missed. Thank you for what you did for me & the club," he wrote.

Moores first became involved with the Reds when his family purchased a controlling stake in the club. He went on to become chairman in 1991 and alongside chief executive Rick Parry, played a key role in Liverpool's first venture into the newly-found Premier League less than a year later.
Throughout his 16-year stint at the helm, he oversaw a number of managerial appointments including the arrivals of Roy Evans, Gerard Houllier and Rafael Benitez.
That led to a period of huge success for the Merseyside club with ten major honours having been claimed including the famous Champions League comeback against AC Milan back in 2005. Moores elected to sell his stake in Liverpool in 2007 with a rapid influx of wealthy owners into the Premier League leaving the Reds needing further investment.
His involvement was not done there though with Moores being an ardent supporter of the club, as well as having been given honorary life president status. He returned to Anfield in December 2019 to witness the Reds' 5-2 thumping of fierce rivals Everton.
Current Liverpool CEO Peter Moore toasted his return to the club during that game with a touching message. He wrote: ""Another wonderful evening at Anfield, capped by being joined by David Moores and his wife Marge. Our Chairman from 1991-2007, this was his first visit back to Anfield in 10 years, and he was warmly welcomed by staff and former players. #YNWA"

The heat continues through the weekend in New England, with Friday being our fourth day of this week’s heat wave.
A cold front that brought severe weather to the region Thursday is now offshore and drier air is filtering in behind it. This will allow for a brief break in the humidity.
Highs again rise well into the 90s this afternoon, upper 80s across the North Country. Western areas across the interior may have an isolated shower or thunderstorm this afternoon. Overnight, very low risk of a shower or thunderstorm, otherwise, expecting a dry night with partly cloudy skies.
Lows will drop down into the mid to upper 60s, low 70s in urban areas. Saturday will feature similar weather to Friday, except a few degrees hotter. Highs again rise well into the 90s, 80s north. Weekend heat peaks on Sunday with highs taking a run at 100 degrees, heat indices rise to 100 to 110 degrees.
Excessive heat warnings may be issued by the National Weather Service as the heat and humidity reach dangerous levels. A cold front will approach New England from the Great Lakes Sunday night. There is some question as to how much precipitation will fall across the region ahead of and along the cold front.
Regardless, this cold front will bring a renewed shot of cooler and drier air and much-needed relief to the region into next week. We have hoisted a First Alert on Monday for the threat of damaging thunderstorms. As for temperatures, highs on Monday rise into the upper 80s to low 90s and Tuesday, rise into the low to mid 80s.
High pressure builds in from Canada by the middle of the week, leading to dry and seasonable weather before the chance of showers and thunderstorms comes back towards Thursday on the exclusive First Alert Weather 10-Day Forecast on NBC10 Boston and NECN. | https://www.nbcboston.com/weather/stories-weather/summer-scorcher-continues-through-the-weekend/2780486/ | 2022-07-22T15:15:47Z | https://www.nbcboston.com/weather/stories-weather/summer-scorcher-continues-through-the-weekend/2780486/ | true | 2 |

TikTok faces a claim that its algorithm steers more violent videos to minority subscribers than to White users in a lawsuit blaming the platform for the death of a 14-year-old African-American girl.
The complaint, which also names Meta Platforms Inc., Snap Inc., and TikTok parent company ByteDance Ltd. as defendants, is among a stream of lawsuits that attempt to hold social media companies accountable for teens getting addicted to their platforms.
Parents of Englyn Roberts, who died in September 2020 about two weeks after she tried to take her own life, allege that TikTok is aware of biases in its algorithm relating to race and socio-economic status. Roberts wouldn’t have seen and been addicted to the harmful content that contributed to her death if not for TikTok’s programming, according to the complaint filed Wednesday in San Francisco federal court.
“TikTok’s social media product did direct and promote harmful and violent content in greater numbers to Englyn Roberts than what they promoted and amplified to other, Caucasian users of similar age, gender, and state of residence,” the parents alleged.
The complaint was filed by Social Media Victims Law Center, a Seattle-based advocacy group.
A spokesperson for Meta, the parent of Facebook and Instagram, declined to comment, but provided a list of policies and resources for supporting and reducing harm to teens and others struggling with mental health, including parental controls, age verification, and reporting tools.
Representatives of TikTok and Snap didn’t respond to requests for comment.
The case is Roberts v. Meta Platforms, Inc., 22-cv-04210, US District Court, Northern District of California.

BRANDON, Miss. (AP) — A park by a central Mississippi reservoir will be named for a longtime outdoors writer who promoted events there after he retired from journalism.
The governing board for the Ross Barnett Reservoir has voted unanimously that Lakeshore Park will become the Bobby Cleveland Park at Lakeshore, the Clarion Ledger reported.
“He was a very devoted champion of the reservoir," general manager John Sigman said of Cleveland.
The park is in Rankin County, a few miles northwest of Jackson.
Cleveland, 67, died after a traffic accident April 28 as he was leaving the park. His memorial service was held there days later.
The Hattiesburg native was well known in Mississippi for his decades as the outdoors writer for the Clarion Ledger.
Cleveland lived near the reservoir and fished in it often. After he left the newspaper in 2012, be became the spokesman for the Pearl River Valley Water Supply District, the state agency that manages the reservoir.
Sigman said the request to rename the park was presented by the Barnett Reservoir Foundation, an organization for which Cleveland had been secretary.
Foundation member Susan Brashear said she isn’t sure when a sign will be placed at the park with Cleveland’s name on it. She said part of the cost will be paid by an anonymous donor.
Cleveland's wife, Pam, said her husband liked to schedule concerts and other events at Lakeshore Park so people could watch the sunset over the reservoir. | https://www.middletownpress.com/news/article/Reservoir-park-renamed-for-outdoors-writer-Bobby-17322282.php | 2022-07-22T15:16:34Z | https://www.middletownpress.com/news/article/Reservoir-park-renamed-for-outdoors-writer-Bobby-17322282.php | true | 21 |
'Not to do with Brexit!' Dover MP savages French border staff for 'not turning up to work'
NATALIE Elphicke MP has savaged French border staff for "not turning up to work" and sparking chaos for holidaymakers in Dover.
Dover: French border officers 'didn't turn up to work' says MP
MP Natalie Elphicke has blamed French border staff for delays at Dover which are causing tourist and freight traffic to be stuck on gridlocked roads heading into the port. Holidaymakers embarking on cross-Channel sailings from Dover must pass through border checks before they can board a ferry to France, but Ms Elphicke has pinned the blame for delays not on Brexit but on French officials failing to turn up for shifts.
Ms Elphicke told BBC News: Well, this is the busiest holiday getaway weekend, everyone has been planning really hard for it to try and make sure that we haven't got the sort of delays that have now occurred.
"What's happened is quite simply, the French border officers, they didn't turn up to work.
"They were supposed to be fully manning all of the passport control boobs to meet the holiday surge, and they didn't.
"So that's why we've got these huge delays, and that's why we're seeing people stuck in traffic when they should be on their way to enjoy a much-deserved get-away break."
The chief executive of the Port of Dover has described being "let down" by poor resourcing at the French border as "immensely frustrating", as travellers faced lengthy queues at the beginning of their summer getaway.
Doug Bannister stopped short of guaranteeing the backlog would clear in the coming days, but pledged that officials are doing all they can to address issues.
A "critical incident" has been declared by the Kent port due to six-hour queues, with tourists urged to consider staying away.
The Port said resources at the French border increased on Friday morning and traffic was slowly beginning to move, "but it will take some time to clear the backlog".
Dover: Long queues as holidaymakers head to France
Mr Bannister said the port had shared "granular detail" on an "hour-by-hour basis" about the amount of traffic it was expecting, in a bid to avoid such disruption.
Apologising for the situation on Friday - one of the busiest periods for foreign travel from the UK as most schools in England and Wales break up for summer - he said they had been "let down" by French authorities.
He told BBC News: "I am so sorry that the travellers we have going to the port today are being impacted.
"To be let down in the way that we have with inadequate resources and slow processes through the border is just immensely frustrating.

"We've shared in granular detail, on an hour-by-hour basis, the amount of traffic we were anticipating, so it was completely known what we needed to have in place at the French border."
He said Saturday is also likely to be busy, adding it is "just the start of a very busy summer for us".
Asked whether he can reassure travellers planning a trip over the coming days that the backlog will ease, he said: "I really wish I could - we're putting all the attention we possibly can do on ensuring there will be enough resources in place to manage this very busy first weekend of the summer."
In a statement on Friday afternoon, the port said it was urging the UK Government to "continue working with French counterparts" to "adequately resource the border" throughout the summer to "keep our community clear, to get families on their holidays and to keep essential trade moving". | https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1644495/Brexit-news-Natalie-Elphicke-MP-Dover-delays-French-border-staff-holiday-france-vn | 2022-07-22T15:17:20Z | https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1644495/Brexit-news-Natalie-Elphicke-MP-Dover-delays-French-border-staff-holiday-france-vn | true | 1 |

Company extends round amid commercial and company expansion to accelerate rollout of Surgical Intelligence Platform across North America
PALO ALTO, Calif., July 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Theator, the creator of Surgical Intelligence, announced today that it has raised $24M in an extension of its Series A funding round. This extension follows an initial $15.5M Series A round announced in February 2021, bringing the round total to $39.5M. The extended funding round was once again led by Insight Partners with support from existing investors including Blumberg Capital, Mayo Clinic, NFX, StageOne Ventures, iAngels, and former Netflix Chief Product Officer Neil Hunt. In addition, new growth investors including iCON and TripActions' CEO and Co-founder Ariel Cohen joined the round.
The additional investment will be used to continue Theator's commercial expansion and accelerate the rollout of its Surgical Intelligence Platform in operating rooms and healthcare systems across North America. The series extension comes on the heels of significant commercial traction, including Theator's expansion into Urology earlier this year.
Theator is pioneering Surgical Intelligence to eliminate the paradigm that where you live determines if you live. Theator's Surgical Intelligence Platform institutionalizes the routine capture of surgical video data, harnessing AI and computer vision to automatically analyze every operation. Surgical Intelligence generates actionable insights that optimize patient outcomes, ultimately raising the standard of patient care. Theator's unrivaled library of surgical video and data contains over 30K hours of video, with nearly a billion frames analyzed.
"This funding is a strong vote of confidence in our vision, team, and the field of Surgical Intelligence as the cornerstone of the future of surgery," said Dr. Tamir Wolf, CEO and Co-founder of Theator. "Surgical Intelligence is already demonstrating significant improvement in surgical quality and safety. It's thrilling to hear about the impact our partners and collaborators have achieved thus far, and we look forward to this latest investment advancing our mission to transform surgery and alleviate variability and disparity in surgical care worldwide."
"Theator's technology has proven to be the critical next step in surgical advancement," said Brad Fiedler, VP at Insight Partners. "Integrating AI and computer vision into the operating room improves surgical care and is transforming surgery for the better. We're excited to double down on our investment, especially as Theator's expertise in AI and computer vision is now enhancing patient outcomes across an ever-growing range of commercial partners."
"Theator's Surgical Intelligence Platform is changing the way we as surgeons think about the operating room today," said Dr. Gerald Fried, former Chair of Surgery at McGill University and past president of the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES)."The Platform surfaces key information embedded within a procedure into a format that is usable by surgeons to enhance the safety, quality, and efficiency of what we do in the operating room. Surgical Intelligence is the future of surgery."
With this Series A extension, Theator has raised $42.5M to date. Since its initial Series A round last year, Theator has collaborated with Mayo Clinic and partnered with the Canadian Association of General Surgeons (CAGS), adding further prestige to the burgeoning list of innovative medical institutions and surgical societies adopting Surgical Intelligence. Last December, the company was named on CB Insights' prestigious Digital Health 150 list of the 150 most innovative digital health startups in the world, highlighting industry recognition of Surgical Intelligence as a distinct category for the first time.

New release saves design time and offers more intuitive workflows from CAD to CAM
DARMSTADT, Germany, July 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- exocad, an Align Technology, Inc. company and a leading dental CAD/CAM software provider, today announced the release of DentalCAD 3.1 Rijeka, the next generation of its powerful CAD software for labs and full-service clinics. With more than 45 new and over 85 enhanced features, the new release marks another milestone in exocad's continuous optimization of workflows for increased productivity.
"DentalCAD 3.1 Rijeka is the result of our countless conversations with customers and the dedicated research of our software developers," said Tillmann Steinbrecher, CEO exocad. "I'm excited about the broad scope of new features and improvements that brings more speed and smoother workflows, from treatment planning to design and manufacturing."
In exocad's Smile Creator add-on module, many new features await, including more visualization options, such as improved color adjustment for more realistic preview images, and a new slider-based before-and-after view. The new "Smile Design" PDF report provides comprehensive documentation of the esthetic planning process to improve communication between dentists and labs. Additionally, the new "Smile Window" offers instant in-face visualization throughout the CAD workflow. Users see the result of the design within the patient photo in real time.
DentalCAD 3.1 Rijeka offers users more efficiency, enabling them to reuse custom tooth setups for multiple indications along the patient case journey. The same shape and setup can be easily used for a mock-up model, a clip-on smile, a temporary restoration, and the final work.
With this new release, exocad speeds up the design of both single-unit restorations and complex, upper and lower restorations. Articulator movements can now be recalculated and visualized on the fly.
DentalCAD 3.1 Rijeka also expands the functionality of Instant Anatomic Morphing, allowing faster design of single-unit restorations with fewer clicks. When a pre-op scan is available, users benefit from an even more highly automated generation of crowns: The previous anatomy copies automatically, making it faster and easier to preserve function and anatomical shape for the patient.
In the Full Denture Module, posterior setups can now be customized as well, providing more control over denture setups. Users can easily expand libraries by saving individual presets, now also in single-arch dentures.
The Model Creator module introduces new "Quick Models" for highly automated model creation, to further save time and minimize the need for user interaction during model design.
exocad's Virtual Articulator module provides an accurate simulation of more real, physical articulators than any other CAD software*, and in this release, exocad has added even more devices, including the popular Ivoclar and SAM articulators.
The newly modernized exocam, exocad's integrated CAM solution for milling machines, sets new standards for ease of use. For 3D printing, exoprint now integrates with many additional devices, enabling direct production workflow integration from exocad with more than 40 3D printers, including those of the most popular manufacturers.
Other major highlights of the DentalCAD 3. Rijeka release include:
- Improved case documentation with new built-in screenshot management tools for collecting, editing, and tagging screenshots
- Anatomic free-forming features improve ease of use: The affected parts of the design are now visually highlighted, and the user has an overview at a glance of the adaptation parameters to be applied

The U.S. economy suffered a sharp downturn in July, led by a crash in service sector activity and a decline in manufacturing production, a survey of purchasing managers showed Friday.
The “flash” U.S. PMI Composite Output Index, compiled by S&P Global, plunged to 47.5 in July from 52.3 in June. The index of business activity in the services sector, which accounts for nearly 80 percent of U.S. economic output, crashed to 47 from 52.7. The manufacturing output index fell to 49.9 from 50, while the overall manufacturing index dropped to 52.3 from 52.7.
Readings on the indexes above 50 indicate expansion, while those below 50 indicate a contraction compared with the previous month.
The index readings were much worse than expected. Economists had expected all the indexes to remain in expansion territory. The steep drop in services sector activity, in particular, came as a surprise, as forecasters thought there would only be a mild leveling off due to pressure from the highest inflation in four decades.
“The preliminary PMI data for July point to a worrying deterioration in the economy,” said S&P Global Market Intelligence chief business economist Chris Williamson. “Excluding the pandemic lockdown months, output is falling at a rate not seen since 2009 and the global financial crisis, with the survey data indicative of GDP falling at an annualised rate of approximately one percent.”
Williamson noted that growth in manufacturing has stalled and the recovery in the services sector has gone into reverse. The “tailwind from pent-up demand has been overcome by the rising cost of living, higher interest rates and gloom about the economic outlook,” Williamson said.
The decrease in the manufacturing indexes resulted from a fall in new order inflows and production levels remaining unchanged. Total sales and new export orders fell at the sharpies rates since the initial stages of the pandemic two years ago.
In services, client demand was “subdued” and growing inflationary concerns dragged down expectations. Service providers signaled the lowest degrees of confidence in the outlook for output since September 2020.
Input prices for services providers rose markedly in July, although at the slowest pace since January. Firms noted an uptick in wage expenses and greater costs for materials and fuel.
The pace of cost inflation for manufacturers, on the other hand, was among the fastest on record thanks to greater energy, fuel, transportation, and materials prices. manufacturers passed costs on to customers, pushing up prices of factory products. Nonetheless, selling prices increased at the slowest pace since February.
“Although supply constraints remained problematic, constraining economic activity, the weakening demand environment has helped alleviate inflationary pressures,” Williamson said.
Williamson said that while the rate of inflation is still running high by historical standard it has fallen to a 16-month low, which he described as “much needed good news amid the ongoing cost of living crisis.”
Business confidence declined in July as inflationary and recession concerns weighed on optimism and demand conditions were muted.
The PMI indexes are based on surveys of purchasing managers at businesses, a group of executives thought to have broad insight into business conditions. | https://www.breitbart.com/economy/2022/07/22/services-and-manufacturing-output-crash-into-contraction-in-july/ | 2022-07-22T15:39:59Z | https://www.breitbart.com/economy/2022/07/22/services-and-manufacturing-output-crash-into-contraction-in-july/ | true | 1 |
A row has erupted after the opposition leader on Salford council called for the "cycle of single young women and girls in the city becoming pregnant" to be broken. Leader of the Conservative group, Robin Garrido, made the comments at a full council meeting where a progress report on the initiative Tackling Inequalities: The Salford Way was delivered.
The report by Councillor Sharmina August sets out how the authority is "building a fairer, greener and healthier city" since it was launched in March last year. It aims to prevent people from falling into poverty, provides targeted support for people already struggling and is pushing for long-term change in Government policies and practice.
However, there was a storm of protest at comments made by Coun Garrido, responding to Coun August's report. He said: "How can we break the cycle of [single] young women or girls becoming pregnant and having babies? How can we introduce respect and responsibility into that cycle?"
Coun Garrido also mentioned the culture of unemployment affecting families down the generations. "There are families who have suffered unemployment over a long period of time and it becomes the norm, we need also to break that cycle."
Coun August responded saying: "I get increasingly frustrated about the focus being on single parents. What about all the children abandoned by Boris Johnson?" And she blasted the government's abandonment of the Sure Start programme which spawned the career of Deputy Labour Leader Angela Rayner. She said the loss of the programme diminished opportunities for parents in disadvantaged areas.
Across the chamber to Coun Garrido, she said: "If you want to support people, write to the Government and ask them to support schemes like Sure Start and reverse austerity." Coun Roseanna Wain echoed her comments and said it was "misogynistic to talk about single parents".
Coun Garrido also came under fire from Salford City Mayor Paul Dennett for criticising The Salford Way report for not using the word "deprivation". The Tory leader had said: "I am disappointed that the word deprivation hasn't been mentioned in the report.
Leave your thoughts in our comments below.
"I feel this is something worth saying as Salford has one of the highest rates of deprivation in the country. I think it's important that we recognise that fact." Mr Dennett fired back: "I'm not going to get caught up in semantics and an infatuation with language. This is not about language use or rhetoric. This is about tackling poverty and inequality in this city."
Speaking after the meeting Coun Garrido said he was "not against" single young mums, but said they "needed support" so that the cycle could be broken.

Both players were withdrawn in the first half as Leeds shared the spoils with their Premier League rivals in their third and final game of their Australian tour.
Sinisterra was handed his first start since his move from Feyenoord earlier this month but was substituted after 13 minutes after going down with a hamstring injury. He was forced to ground off the ball before receiving treatment.
In a feisty friendly, which produced several yellow cards, Forshaw was substituted after a coming together with Jean-Philippe Mateta. The midfielder felt a strain in his knee but was still able to jog off as he was replaced after 33 minutes.
“Luis Sinisterra had a little hamstring injury, and we’re hopeful that it’s not too much and too long, too severe,” said Marsch.
“So anytime we have a hamstring injury I’m totally dissatisfied because I think that’s reflective of everything that we do with them physically. So we’ll evaluate that and we hope that it’s not so bad.
“Adam Forshaw felt Mateta kind of lean on him a little bit and tweaked his knee. We’re hopeful as well that that one’s not so bad, but we’ll get more information in the next days.
“I think we’ve had spirited matches in all of them here and that’s just kind of how our team plays. We only know full throttle and that’s a good thing.
“We try to bring out best every day, every game. Certainly there’s some emotion that goes on, some frustration with some calls and different things, tackles.
“The pitch wasn’t the perfect condition, but the mentality to try and get the most out of the game, to play at a high level, to play fast and a high level was really good. There were major stretches of the game that I thought we were quite good.”
The draw with Palace meant Leeds finished their Australian tour with one win, one defeat and one draw. Rodrigo put the Whites ahead from the penalty spot in the second half before Mateta finished off a counter attack to earn a draw for his side.
On more positive news on the injury front, teenager Archie Gray was deemed fit enough for a place on the bench against Crystal Palace after he was carried off the pitch in last weekend’s friendly defeat to Aston Villa. | https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/football/leeds-united/jesse-marsch-provides-update-on-injuries-picked-up-by-leeds-united-pair-luis-sinisterra-and-adam-forshaw-in-pre-season-draw-with-crystal-palace-3779029 | 2022-07-22T15:42:44Z | https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/football/leeds-united/jesse-marsch-provides-update-on-injuries-picked-up-by-leeds-united-pair-luis-sinisterra-and-adam-forshaw-in-pre-season-draw-with-crystal-palace-3779029 | true | 1 |

PITTSBURGH, July 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The United Steelworkers (USW) today criticized Armstrong World Industries for its refusal to consent to the transfer of the Armstrong Flooring name that threatens to derail the sale of the Armstrong Flooring production facility in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, to AHF Products.
USW District 10 Director Bernie Hall urged Armstrong Flooring and Armstrong World Industries immediately to resolve their issues over trademark licensing in order for a timely closing of the sale.
"It would be a terrible tragedy for hundreds of good jobs to disappear because of Armstrong World's greed," Hall said. "The USW demands an immediate end to this preposterous hostage-taking in the name of our members, their families and community."
"We cannot allow Armstrong World Industries to destroy our members' livelihoods," Hall said. "If this matter is not resolved very shortly, this historic facility and the community-sustaining jobs it provides could close its doors forever."
The USW represents 850,000 men and women employed in manufacturing, metals, mining, pulp and paper, rubber, chemicals, glass, auto supply and the energy-producing industries, along with a growing number of workers in tech, public sector and service occupations.

Cool minds and hearts come together for a bite of ice-cream and a look at neighbourhood impact on climate this weekend.
Oak Bay launched the Coolkit program, a joint initiative with the Collaborative for Advanced Landscape Planning at the University of British Columbia and its forestry department in April. The goal is to engage and educate residents of all ages about reducing their carbon footprint with a focus on impacting climate change in an active way.
Jane Evans was among the participants of the spring Coolkit workshops. “I feel so much better actually trying to do something rather than just listening to the doom and gloom.”
The sessions offered participants a do-it-yourself toolkit for getting neighbours involved in the conversation about climate change.
So a group got together, including the the Friends of Bowker Creek Society, to craft an ice cream social to take a look at elements in their neighbourhood that cause and create impacts on climate change.
READ ALSO: Online tool challenges Oak Bay residents to become climate champions
“Let’s start the conversation,” Evans said. “As the toolkit talks about, we can educate each other and find out if there are small things we can do … to mitigate and adapt to climate change that would help in any small way.”
That can range from individual efforts on private property, to even supporting local council endeavours in change, she noted.
“They need to know residents want them to spend money on climate change mitigation. They can’t do it unless they have our support.”
The Bee and Bowker neighbourhood invites residents interested in taking action on climate change to join them Saturday, July 23 from 2 to 4 p.m. in the Oak Bay Recreation Centre parking lot adjacent to the creek.

Manchester United star Bruno Fernandes has revealed that Aston Villa will face a fresh and "aggressive" team working in a new way under Erik ten Hag.
The new manager has wasted no time in putting a new pressing system in place at the club, and will once again put that to the test when they face Steven Gerrard's side tomorrow (Saturday) in Perth.
Villa have been in solid form with victories over Leeds United and Brisbane Roar, but they will face a revitalised United side looking to have much better Premier League season.

United's pre-season rolled on with a third victory from as many matches on Tuesday as they defeated Crystal Palace 3-1 in a dominant and comprehensive display.
Fernandes explained how United have already changed under the new manager. "We’ve been most aggressive now," he told MUTV after the game.
"The three guys up front have been aggressive when they pressed, it's been strong, it’s made the last line squeeze, the midfielders too and when we turn over the ball we’re closer to the goal. We have freedom, there’s lots of spaces in the middle and we’re better on the ball too.
"We feel good, the results help on that, playing good football a lot of things to improve yet but we’ll have time to do that and be ready for the first game of the season."
Villa will take on Erik ten Hag’s side on Saturday morning UK time as both sides look to keep up their 100 per cent winning record in pre-season. The game is expected to be played in front of a crowd of around 62,000.
It will also the first outing for Villa's new away kit, officially unveiled at a fan event down under with the strip also revealed on social media at the same time.
It could also be worn for Villa’s first game of the Premier League season in just over two weeks’ time when they take on AFC Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.
