Which pet furniture cover is best?
Whether animals should be allowed on furniture can be a big point of debate among pet owners. Those that do allow such behavior can still maintain the quality of their couches and chairs while allowing their pet access.
Pet furniture covers are designed to be comfortable and protective against any shedding, scratching, drooling or other accidents. The Furhaven Pet Furniture Cover is a top pick due to both its aesthetics and construction.
What to know before you buy a pet furniture cover
Material
Pet covers are made from polyester and other synthetics designed to protect the furniture fabric from dirt, accidents and even odors. Depending on the complexity of the material, the cover may be water-resistant or waterproof. Some covers may feature multiple layers, with an internal protective core and an outer comfort layer.
Size
Pet furniture covers are made to protect large sofas, sectional couches, love seats, chaise lounges and cozy chairs. Check the dimensions listed by the company against that of your furniture. If you have trouble finding a size that matches perfectly, some covers can be cut apart or sewn together as needed.
Care
Consider the reasons why you need a cover and how often you may need to clean it. While some furniture covers may be machine washable, others require careful spot cleaning. If your pet sheds, drools or has accidents, you may want a cover that is easier to wash.
Keep the size in mind as well. Even if a larger cover is machine washable, it may not fit in a standard washing machine.
What to look for in a quality pet furniture cover
Fit
Covers adhere to furniture in one of three ways. Elastic bands close around the seat and back cushions. Most elastic bands are adjustable. If they fit too tightly, they may start to bend or squish your cushions. If your furniture has attached cushions that don’t allow for seat or back straps, opt for cushion anchors. These covers fit snugly over furniture with cushion anchors or bars that keep it in place.
Lastly, some covers feature an anti-slip backing designed to stay in place against the furniture while draped over the sides. This tends to be the least stable. However, sometimes it is boosted by elastic bands, cushion anchors or both.
Color and design
Some pet covers give you a choice of color or even a design pattern to enhance your home aesthetic. Neutral colors are most popular because they will best complement the color or pattern of your furniture. Some pet owners may want a color that matches their pet’s fur color to better hide any shedding. For smaller chairs, bold pet covers provide a stunning accent.
Reversibility
Some furniture covers are double-sided, or reversible. This allows you to flip over the cover and use the other side should it become dirtied or stained. Reversible covers are useful for pets that may chew or scratch on occasion so that when one side is damaged, the other is still available.
Note that reversible covers don’t have a nonslip backing. What’s more, if a pet has an accident, you’ll want to wash the cover instead of flipping it over to avoid it ruining the furniture fabric.
Bolster
A bolster is an elevated portion that functions to protect the sides and back of a piece of furniture. One or more bolsters may be included in the furniture cover, providing increased comfort and protection to pets that want to be on the couch or chair. Bolsters exist in place of the cover draping over the back or sides.
How much you can expect to spend on a pet furniture cover
Pet covers increase in price along with size. A chair or love seat cover may cost around $30, while larger sofa covers can reach and exceed $50.
Pet furniture cover FAQ
How far should a cover drape over my furniture?
A. For covers that drape over the sides, make sure they fall at least one-third of the distance down to the ground. If it doesn’t extend far enough, it will be easy for the cover to fall back in on the piece of furniture. Back panels should be particularly generous, especially if there are no elastic bands present.
How can I train my pet to not use furniture?
A. Pet furniture covers may be used as a preventive measure against pets that are still in training. To keep them off, create a cozy and attractive space for your pet that entices them more than the furniture. For dogs, be quick to tell them “off” when they jump on and provide a treat immediately as a reward.

10 Fun Free and Open Source ASCII Games - Part 2
Personally, these developments do not overly interest me. I find little fascination playing games that focus so much on the visuals they neglect the essential elements. Too often the storyline and game play has been compromised for visual quality. Most of my favourite games are somewhat deficient in the graphics department. Gameplay is always king in my eyes.
Linux has an excellent library of free games many of which are released under an open source license. The vast majority of these games are aesthetically pleasing. Popular games often have full motion video, vector graphics, 3D graphics, realistic 3D rendering, animation, texturing, a physics engine, and much more. Early computer games did not have these graphic techniques. The earliest video games were text games or text-based games that used text characters rather than vector or bitmapped graphics.

Skelton: Would Prop. 1 allow late-term abortions?
Based on a simple reading, Proposition 1 would seem to push California abortion law far left by allowing pregnancy termination right up until birth. Could that be correct?
No, that’s a false read, according to the legislation’s author and two law professors.
The measure on the November ballot merely cements into the state constitution current law, they say. But the language sure doesn’t read that way to most voters, I suspect. At least to those of us who aren’t lawyers. It says the state cannot restrict abortion — any abortion — period. Read for yourself:
“The state shall not deny or interfere with an individual’s reproductive freedom in their most intimate decisions, which includes their fundamental right to choose to have an abortion and their fundamental right to choose or refuse contraceptives.”
Another sentence states that the measure is “intended to further the constitutional right to privacy … and the constitutional right to not be denied equal protection.” Both have been interpreted to protect abortion rights.
The first sentence seems to be legalese for guaranteeing unrestricted late-term abortions.
Current law states that once a fetus is considered viable — able to survive outside the uterus without extraordinary medical measures — a woman can obtain an abortion only if continued pregnancy poses a significant risk to her health or life. Viability is around 23 weeks.
So-called partial birth abortions are illegal in California and throughout the United States. But the proposition’s language seemingly would end current third trimester restrictions. And even if that’s convincingly refuted — more on that below — it has the potential of becoming a fall central campaign issue.
Proposition 1 is the primary response of California Democrats and abortion rights activists to the U.S. Supreme Court’s overturning Roe v. Wade, the 1973 ruling that legalized pregnancy terminations nationwide. The court turned the issue over to states to determine their own abortion laws. And roughly half have eliminated or severely restricted abortion rights.
California has gone the opposite direction, spending more than $200 million to expand services and provide a sanctuary for abortion seekers from other states.
“I think they’ve overstepped,” asserts Ray McNally, strategist for the proposition’s opponents.
“It’s the most extreme abortion law you could put into the constitution. There’s no limit on late-term abortion. They can occur at any time for any reason up to the moment of birth. Most Californians support some reasonable limits.”
He continues: “Down the road, it’ll be just one more instance when voters thought they were doing the right thing and they were hornswoggled. It fuels cynicism and bitterness and mistrust in government.”
The constitutional amendment’s author, state Senate leader Toni Atkins, D-San Diego, flatly denies that it changes current law regarding viability.
“The false narrative about ‘abortions up until birth’ are unscientific and created to politicize the conversation about abortion,” she said in a statement after the Legislature passed the measure mostly along party lines — Democrats for and Republicans against.
But during floor debates in both houses, queries about late-term abortions resulted in fuzzy replies. Basically, they were kissed off.
I called two law professors who specialize in abortion regulations, and both said that Proposition 1’s language isn’t the end of the story. There’s more than meets the eye. Constitutional amendments — whether federal or state — are subject to court interpretation, guided by legislative intent and precedent, they said.
“Generally speaking, constitutional language tends to be more aspirational — the language of principles and broad rights — with more detailed rules written in statutes,” said Loyola Law School professor Brietta Clark, an expert on health care law.
“Constitutional rights are never absolute. They always allow some restriction,” she continued. “What this constitutional amendment is doing is tracking language that has already been interpreted by the state Supreme Court in a way that absolutely allows some restriction.”
UCLA Law School professor Cary Franklin, faculty director of the Center on Reproductive Health, Law and Policy, agreed that “a constitutional right is not an absolute right. The state is going to be able to limit the abortion right.”
A prime example of a fundamental right being subject to restriction is the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. It states that “the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” But even the current conservative Supreme Court agrees the Second Amendment allows for some gun restrictions.
“There’s a lot of fear mongering” on Proposition 1, Franklin said.
Mike Madrid, a Republican political consultant who specializes in Latino voter trends, told me that many Latinos may have a tough time accepting Proposition 1. “Latinos are more anti-abortion than most groups,” he said. “They’re more Catholic than other groups.
“Most voters don’t support these extreme positions the pro-choice community advocates for,” he continued. “People overwhelmingly want abortion to be safe and rare, as Bill Clinton said. There is a side of the Democratic Party saying, ‘I can do whatever I want with my own body.’ That’s not where the public is.”
But he added: “I don’t think it will affect the outcome of the measure. It’ll affect how big the win is.”
Agreed — if there’s any effect at all. This is a deep blue state with a long history of supporting abortion rights.
Proposition 1 should be passed — for no other reason than to record California’s strong opposition to the overreaching Supreme Court decision. But drafters should have made clear in the measure’s language that it was permissible to limit abortion after a fetus reaches viability.

Leg-spinner Chahal's emphatic no to 'cricket in shorts' googly
- Country:
- Trinidad and Tobago
Can cricket be played wearing shorts? Yuzvendra Chahal doesn't think so. In fact, he had an emphatic ''no'' for an answer when a scribe alluded to suggestions that cricketers could be better off wearing half pants instead of trousers in the future, given that the game is often played in extreme heat.
The ''cricket in shorts'' question was a googly that the leg-spinner was not expecting after India's three-run win over the West Indies in a last-ball thriller at the Queen's Park Oval, which put the visitors ahead in the three-match ODI series.
March 2022 was the hottest in India since records began more than 100 years ago but notwithstanding the sweltering weather, cricket, like always, continued to be played in the country. Chahal, one of India's leading white-ball spinners, explained why the status quo should be maintained.
''No, No. I don't agree with that (playing in shorts). Because we have to take care of our knees whenever you slide, it's very hard. My two knees are already gone, there are many bruises. I think full pants work well for us,'' Chahal said at the post-match press conference. As the discussion turned to Friday's match, Chahal said bowling in tight situations in the IPL helped him immensely. And so are words of encouragement from the team management, including head coach Rahul Dravid.
''The coach always backs me. He tells me 'Yuzi just back your strengths, we trust you'...,'' Chahal, who gave the timely breakthrough of Brandon King (54) in the 45th over to make the job tougher for the West Indies in their stiff chase of 309, said.
''And when the coaches and management gives you that much confidence you are always ready to go and perform.
''I always back my strengths, I knew that the ball had become old and the ball can turn and beat the batters. So I was changing my line, bowling wider because the leg side boundary was a bit small so I thought if he hits me over cover it would be better.
''This change has come from the IPL, because there I was bowling the 16th, 17th and 18th over, so I got the confidence from there. My role was clear, I was told to bowl two-three overs after the 40th over. So I practice accordingly and also plan with our bowling coach.'' In a high-scoring thriller, Chahal, who turned 32 on Saturday, finished with figures of 2/58 from his full quota of 10 overs. The hosts needed 60 off the last 90 balls and the 56-run stand between King and Akeal Hosein (32 not out off 32) kept India on the edge. However, thanks to Chahal and Mohammed Siraj holding his nerves while bowling the last over with the Windies needing 15 for victory, India emerged winners. ''We had full faith in Siraj and that we can defend five runs in the last over as he was bowling his yorkers very well... He missed hardly one or two yorkers earlier. ''But yes, a little bit of pressure is always there, given the way they were batting. Sanju (Samson) stopped a certain boundary off a wide, and that raised our confidence.'' Some of the big names are missing from the squad but Chahal said the bowling attack still cannot be called inexperienced. ''There was not much pressure, because if you look at the team overall, almost everyone has played a lot of first-class matches, they have gained so much experience from the IPL, so you can't say the bowling line-up was inexperienced,'' Chahal said.
Asked about stand-in skipper Shikhar Dhawan, who made 97 off 99 balls at the top of the order, Chahal said, ''He is a cool guy, his bonding with every player is like a brother. We talk about our plans, various situations, and sometimes we also have fun on and off the filed.'' The opener was closer than many expected, given that the West Indies were swept aside by a visiting Bangladesh side 3-0 in the preceding rubber.
''The wicket against Bangladesh and this wicket were totally different because there the ball was turning a lot. Credit must go to their batters, the way they batted in the middle order. But we knew one or two wickets would put the pressure back on them,'' Chahal said.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Parenting — that long chain of decisions that hopefully leads to a well-rounded adult — was always a little less stressful for Laura Guerra because her husband, Rigo, was “100% in it” for their daughter, Emilia.
But Rigo died from COVID-19 on Christmas Eve in 2020, alone in a hospital room while Guerra watched helplessly from the other side of a window. Since then, left to raise their now 2-year-old daughter mostly by herself, Guerra’s mind hasn’t stopped racing.
“I’m constantly thinking,” she said. “Every decision that I make, if I make the wrong decision, she’s going to suffer for it. And that scares the hell out of me.”
Now, California is using some of its record-setting budget surplus to help ease Guerra’s mind, and those of others like her. Last month, California became the first state to commit to setting up trust funds for children who lost a parent or caregiver to the pandemic.
The money — $100 million in total — will go to into interest-bearing accounts for children from low-income families who have lost a parent to COVID and to kids who are in the state’s foster care system. State lawmakers haven’t decided how much money each child will get, but one early proposal would give younger kids $4,000 and older kids $8,000. That would be enough to provide funding for about 16,000 kids, who could spend the money once they become adults.
“As a mom, this gives me a little bit of that security back,” said Guerra, who has been advocating for the trust funds as a member of the advocacy group COVID Survivors for Change. “I don’t want her to continue to be a victim of this virus forever.”
The first U.S. savings bonds were introduced in the 1930s to raise money for the government and give ordinary Americans an opportunity to invest. Those bonds were nicknamed “baby bonds,” because parents would often buy them for their children.
These modern-day baby bonds are different in that, instead of being purchased by parents, the government gives the money to children from low-income families for free. Advocates have held up the idea as a way to help close the racial wealth gap between white and minority families, who were largely excluded from the federal wealth-building programs during the Great Depression.
Hillary Clinton briefly included a baby bonds proposal in her 2008 presidential campaign platform, and U.S. Sen. Cory Booker introduced a national baby bonds bill in Congress that has yet to pass.
The Washington D.C. City Council passed a baby bond program in 2021, committing to give low-income children $500 plus another $1,000 each year that their parents remain below a certain income level. Last year, Connecticut was the first state to approve a statewide baby bonds program — although it hasn’t been funded yet.
The idea is similar to guaranteed income programs that give cash to low-income people each month with no restrictions on how they can use it. California has several such programs at the local level, modeled after high-profile demonstration project in Stockton that launched three years ago.
While guaranteed income programs are about helping people with short-term expenses, baby bonds are about the future. Children could not touch the money until they reach adulthood. During that time, the money would grow by collecting interest payments from a bank.
How much money they children will get depends on how long the account grows. For younger children, advocates hope they will have between $20,000 and $40,000 once they become adults.
“Income and wealth are different things,” said Michael Tubbs, the former mayor of Stockton who is now an advisor to Gov. Gavin Newsom and founder of the advocacy group End Poverty in California. “People should have the wherewithal to pay their bills today … but the next generation shouldn’t have to live paycheck to paycheck.”
California’s baby bonds program is the latest in a surge of new spending aimed at combating poverty. Since 2018, California has spent $13 billion on an array of new laws and policy changes that have lifted an estimated 300,000 children out of poverty, according to a report released earlier this year by Grace, a California-based nonprofit.
That spending includes a $1,000 tax credit for low income families with young children, a universal school meals program, college savings accounts for low-income kids and a commitment to send every 4-year-old to kindergarten for free.
The group hopes California’s baby bonds program is just a first step. Its goal is to eventually have the state give trust funds to every child in the state born into a low income family.
“The goal has always been, ‘How do we help best set up low income children for their future?’ said Shimica Gaskins, president and CEO of Grace. “We had really relied on educational pathways, but also know that cash and cash assistance and opportunity are equally important.”
It’s not clear if the Legislature would expand the program to include all children from low-income families. State Sen. Nancy Skinner, a Democrat from Berkeley and chair of the Senate Budget Committee, said lawmakers will closely watch the COVID survivor bond program to see how it works.
“The great irony of California especially, but the nation as a whole, is we have such wealth but it’s so concentrated,” Skinner said. “Whatever we can do that can address that income inequality is essential to do.”
The state treasurer’s office will manage the money in interest-bearing accounts. Once the recipients become adults, they can spend the money however they want. But advocates hope they’ll use it for things like a down payment for a house, college tuition or a car.
Guerra said she doesn’t know how her daughter would use the money once she’s old enough to spend it.
“I do whatever I can to steer her in the right direction and to make her a good human being, right?” she said.
For now, she’s focused on making sure her daughter, Emilia, remembers her father. So far, her efforts appear to be working.
Emilia Guerra sees her daddy everywhere. He’s in the picture frames on the walls of her room. He’s on the screen of her mother’s phone. And he’s in the recesses of her 2-year-old mind, showing his face to her in scattered moments across her bustling life.
“Randomly, we will be sitting somewhere and she says, ‘Hi Daddy!’” Guerra said. “I do tell her that mommy can’t see daddy. But maybe she can.” | https://www.wpri.com/news/us-and-world/california-oks-baby-bonds-to-help-combat-child-poverty/ | 2022-07-23T08:01:56Z | https://www.wpri.com/news/us-and-world/california-oks-baby-bonds-to-help-combat-child-poverty/ | true | 31 |

Which modern kitchen island lighting is best?
An island light is a must-have if you want to add style and brightness to your kitchen. Lighting is functional, but it also sets the tone of your room. Like a great piece of art or wall decor, kitchen island lighting can be the focal point of a room.
Modern lighting is an excellent choice if you want a minimalistic and functional lighting source. Lighting fixtures vary depending on style, design, function, and material, but the best is Signorelli 10 Modern Linear Chandelier. It’s stylish yet understated and easy to install.
What to know before you buy modern kitchen island lighting
Style of kitchen island lighting
There is no one-size-fits-all type of modern kitchen island lighting. You have multiple styles to choose from, including the following:
- Recessed lighting: These lights are installed directly into the ceiling and cover the entire kitchen to provide ambient lighting throughout the room.
- Task lighting: This light is more direct and illuminates a specific area, making it suitable for activities you perform at the kitchen island, such as cooking, cleaning, eating, and homework.
- Pendant lighting: This is a light fixture suspended from the ceiling with a single bulb. It’s one of the most common types of kitchen island lighting and goes far in adding charm to the space.
- Linear chandeliers: This trendy chandelier-style kitchen island lighting distributes light narrowly over the island.
Pendant placement
A pendant light is one of the most popular styles of modern kitchen island lighting. How many pendant lights you need depends on the length and width of your kitchen island.
For smaller islands, 4 to 5 feet long, one large pendant or two medium pendants are optimal. Larger islands can support three medium-sized or two large pendant lights. Consider following the “rule of three,” a design principle that says lights are more appealing when arranged in odd numbers.
In terms of pendant length, the bottom rim of the fixture should be 30 to 36 inches from the kitchen island the surface. However, never sacrifice style for preference because the kitchen is the heart of the home, so you want to feel comfortable.
What to look for in quality modern kitchen island lighting
LED vs. incandescent bulbs
The two most common options when selecting a light bulb for your kitchen island fixtures include:
- LED bulbs: These are more energy-efficient and come in multiple sizes and styles, but they have the same look and feel as the traditional bulb. They are more expensive than incandescent bulbs but can save you money in the long run by lowering your electric bill.
- Incandescent bulbs: These traditional bulbs are still common and inexpensive. However, incandescent bulbs aren’t as energy-efficient and don’t last as long.
No matter what type of bulb you purchase, warmer lighting with a soft yellow hue works best in the kitchen, especially if you have wooden cabinets.
Dimmers
Some light fixtures come with dimmers, and some have smart options connected with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and the iPhone so you can control your lighting from anywhere. You can also purchase a dimmer separately, but make sure it’s compatible with the fixture and type of bulb.
Light fixture shape
Modern kitchen island lighting fixtures tend to have simple, clean geometric shapes. They lack the elaborate or formal design common in other styles. The shape of the lights will also determine how much they illuminate the island and surrounding area.
How much you can expect to spend on modern kitchen island lighting
Kitchen island lighting can range in price from $50-$750 based on the size, number of pendants and the design.
Modern kitchen island lighting FAQ
My kitchen lighting has multiple pendants. How do I space them apart?
A. Interior designers recommend that if you have two pendants, you should space them 30 inches apart. If you have more than two pendants, you want them spaced evenly over the entire length of the island.
Can I install a kitchen island light on my own?
A. It is possible, but it depends on your experience and the type of lighting. If unsure, you can always hire an electrician to install the light fixture.

Two Wagga teenagers have made a big impact on the political scene over the past week with their appearance at the Y NSW Youth Parliament.
Josh Shaw and Chelsea Burgess-Hannon were among 60 students who 'took over' the Legislative Council for a four-day Sitting Week (11-14 July) in the Parliament of NSW, as part of the year-long youth leadership and engagement program.

Students passed nine important committee reports across a range of portfolios including Aboriginal Affairs, Education, Women's Affairs and Inclusion and Diversity.
The group made nearly 100 recommendations, among them an 11.5 per cent wage rise for teachers, greater rights for gig workers, lowering the minimum full-time work age to 16 and reducing the cost of car registration for a young tradespeople by 60 per cent
IN OTHER NEWS:
First time youth parliamentarian and Mater Dei Catholic College student Josh Shaw landed the role of Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change.
He was satisfied that their committee report passed without amendments in the chamber.
"I wrote areas of the report in relation to creating training programs for fossil fuel workers, so I thought that was a really big issue to ensure continued employment as renewable energy comes into the market."
"This might sound a bit cliched, but I think the experience was life changing," Mr Shaw said.
Mr Shaw also came away with the Taskie Award for Star Player of the week.
Deputy Leader of the Opposition in the Upper House, Chelsea Burgess Hannon, said it was fantastic to see the 2022 cohort face-to-face after last year's Youth Parliament was delivered virtually because of the pandemic.
"It's made me more grateful of these experiences face-to-face, nothing beats having the experience in person."
Participants will return to Parliament House on Monday September 26 to officially present the nine reports to respective Minister's portfolios.

NEET-PG 2022 counselling to begin on Sept 1
The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (Postgraduate) counselling will begin on September 1, official sources said on Saturday.
Students who have qualified in the NEET-PG 2022 exam will be able to fill their choices with respect to courses and colleges during the counselling process for admission to All India Quota seats, state medical and dental colleges, and central and deemed universities.
The PG counselling will commence for all central universities, deemed Universities and 50 per cent All India quota seats and 50 per cent state quota seats of medical and dental colleges simultaneously, the officials said.
The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) under the Directorate General of Health Services, Ministry of Health will conduct the counselling in online mode, they told PTI.
Keeping in mind that 748 seats are still lying vacant in NEET Superspeciality counselling for the academic year 2021, the government has decided to conduct a special round of counselling without any cut-off percentile eligibility to prevent wastage of seats and in the larger public interest as a one-time measure, the officials said.
The special mop-up round II for NEET-SS 2021 counselling will begin on Tuesday, they said.
Usually, NEET-PG is held in January and the counselling starts in March.
But because of COVID-19 and the delay in the last year's admission process, this year's exam was held on May 21 and the results were declared on June 1, a senior official said.
"Also, inspections of medical colleges are being carried out by the NMC and the last date of issuing letter of permission is August 15. Hence, it has been decided to start the counselling process from September 1 so that all the new seats can be included in the first round of counselling itself," the official said. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/education/admissions/neetpg-2022-counselling-to-begin-on-sept-1-101658563346058.html | 2022-07-23T08:12:58Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/education/admissions/neetpg-2022-counselling-to-begin-on-sept-1-101658563346058.html | true | 11 |

BRITS are being plunged into MORE travel chaos today as millions of families set off on their summer holidays.
Passengers were met with huge airport queues first thing while transport bosses warned drivers face the "busiest day" for traffic on the roads.
The chaos at Dover is also set to worsen from yesterday, when a "critical incident" was declared and holidaymakers were told to arrive six hours early for ferry queues lasting up to five hours.
This morning, Bristol Airport saw hundreds of passengers snake around its terminals before 4.30am, while queues for flights piled into Heathrow and Gatwick first thing.
Transport bosses also warned drivers to expect more "delays and disruption" than yesterday.
At least 3,000 lorries were parked up on the M20 waiting to head to the port of Dover and Channel Tunnel terminal this morning.
And Doug Bannister, Dover port's chief executive, said some 10,000 cars are expected to be processed going out of the port on Saturday - up on Friday's figure.
Asked if there could be five to six-hour delays for people at the port again on Saturday, he told BBC Radio 4 Today: "It could be. We were expecting that today was going to be a busier day than yesterday.
"Yesterday we processed about 8,500 cars going out. Today we were predicted to be around 10,000 so it is going to be a very busy day down here."
It means the M20 coastbound is closed to non-freight traffic between just junctions 8 at Maidstone and junction 12 at Folkestone.

That's the most since the company began tracking summer getaway numbers in 2014.
And Jack Cousens, head of roads policy for the AA, said: "As the schools closed their doors fully yesterday, Saturday could prove busier still this weekend.
"Drivers should continue to expect disruption and delays on major holiday routes to the south-west, eastern coast and ports of Dover and Folkestone.
"While many have decided to go at the start of the summer holidays, between now and the beginning of September when schools return, each Friday and Saturday will be busy on our roads.
"This is because these are the main switchover days for holiday lets."
According to the RAC, the worst time to hit the roads today is between 11am and 3pm.
It has also urged drivers to avoid travelling between 11am and 6pm on Sunday.
Yesterday, ferry operator P&O Ferries told passengers to allow at least five hours to clear the approach roads and security checks.
And the company said on Friday evening it expects Saturday to be "just as busy".
It came as those hoping to cross the channel reported five-hour queues for border checks, with cars pictured back-to-back for miles outside Dover.
Doug Bannister said "woefully inadequate" staffing was to blame for the "major disruption".
He said staff were focused on tackling the "critical bottleneck" around the port today but could not promise the chaos would be gone by Saturday.
The delays meant tourist and freight traffic were stuck for hours on gridlocked roads in the area.
And P&O Ferries warned passengers to arrive six hours early for their boats.
A notice on the company's Twitter read: "Please be aware that there is heavy traffic at border control in the port of Dover.
"If you are booked to travel today please allow at least six hours to clear all security checks." | https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/19292342/summer-holiday-travel-chaos-busiest-day-roads/ | 2022-07-23T08:28:46Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/19292342/summer-holiday-travel-chaos-busiest-day-roads/ | false | 1 |

Actress Alicia Silverstone still sleeps next to her 11-year-old son Bear and says that she is simply “following nature” with her parenting style.
Speaking on ‘The Ellen Fisher Podcast’, Silverstone said: “If you were in any kind of wild setting where there are animals … if you put your baby over there, your baby is going to get eaten. It’s not ideal for the baby to be over there.”
She also praised motherhood as “the most precious, most unbelievable experience in this world,” adding that “For me, it’s so divine.”
And she revealed that she initially wanted four children but her obsession with Bear and her split from his father, led to her being a mother of one.
She explained: “I wanted to have more (kids), but then my relationship got messed up, and it wasn’t a great time to bring one in. I didn’t want to have one right away because I was so in love with my Bear.
“I wanted to squeeze every little moment out of him, so it wasn’t until he was like three that I was ready to make another baby and then I didn’t have a partner, so that’s why I don’t have four babies.”
The actress previously shared that she took Bear to watch her classic teen romance ‘Clueless’ when he was just five years old and he loved it.
She said: “He saw ‘Clueless’ when he was five, because it was on at the Hollywood (Forever) Cemetery. … Four thousand people came to see and I couldn’t pass that experience up, of watching it under the stars, pillows on the ground.”
“He was so young and it’s not appropriate, I think, for a five-year-old to watch that movie… it’s all about sex and stuff, so I just thought, ‘Oops’. But, at the time… he loved it.”
She said that Bear “picked up” a new way of showing affection his to mother, who played the lead role Cher Horowitz in the movie.
Silverstone said: “But what he really picked up [on is] he tried to kiss me, like, passionate kisses, because that’s what he saw in the movie.” | https://www.glamsham.com/hollywood/entertainment-news/alicia-silverstone-still-sleeps-next-to-her-11-year-old-son | 2022-07-23T08:35:13Z | https://www.glamsham.com/hollywood/entertainment-news/alicia-silverstone-still-sleeps-next-to-her-11-year-old-son | false | 5 |

The 10 must-watch events at the Commonwealth Games
By Tom Decent
A common criticism of the Commonwealth Games is that gold medals don’t mean as much because not every athlete competes.
A total of 206 countries were represented at the Tokyo Olympics, compared to athletes from 54 nations and 18 territories who will arrive in Birmingham for the Commonwealth Games.
Of the countries to finish in the top 10 of the medal tally at last year’s Olympics, only Great Britain (third) and Australia (sixth) will feature at the Commonwealth Games (though Britain will be split into its constituent countries).
So, what are the key events to watch? The ones where the cream of the crop will be involved? Here’s 10 of the best. All times are Australian Eastern Standard Time.
1. Netball final (August 8, 5.30am)
Netball has been part of the Commonwealth Games since 1998 and the decider will showcase the best of the sport, given few nations outside the Commonwealth are competitive at the elite level.
Australia is a big gold medal chance but, based on the strength of the squads, England will begin the tournament as favourites. Australia fell to England on home soil in the 2018 final and will be eager for revenge. New Zealand will be strong, as will Jamaica. South Africa could spring an upset or two.
A Commonwealth Games gold medal is the pinnacle for Australia’s Diamonds and they are leaving no stone unturned to land their fourth gold medal. Expect a huge crowd at the National Exhibition Centre.
2. Rugby sevens finals (August 1 – women’s 6.38am; men’s 7.04am)
Like netball, almost all the best rugby teams in the world are part of the Commonwealth, with the exception of France and the United States in the women’s game and Argentina and Ireland in the men’s.
Australia’s women won the first gold medal on offer for rugby sevens at the Rio Olympics in 2016, but fell to New Zealand at the 2018 Commonwealth Games and bombed out in the quarter-finals of the Tokyo Olympics. Since then, Australia have surged back to the top of the world rankings and will go mighty close to another gold. There will, however, be stiff competition from New Zealand and Canada.
In the men’s draw, South Africa are the team to beat, but Australia boast some strike weapons in Maurice Longbottom and captain Nick Malouf. Wallabies centre Samu Kerevi adds depth to the squad.
3. Men’s 400m final (August 7, 7.45pm)
Of the eight sprinters who made the 400m final at the world athletics championships, six will compete at Birmingham. Australian 400m runner Steve Solomon believes it will be the most competitive event at the Commonwealth Games.
South Africa’s world record holder Wayde van Niekerk and reigning Olympic champion Steven Gardiner from the Bahamas will be there. Throw in England’s Matthew Hudson-Smith, Grenada’s Kirani James and Christopher Taylor from Jamaica, and this is a race not to be missed.
4. 100m finals (August 4 – women’s 4.58am; men’s 6.40am)
Nothing gets the hairs standing up on the back of the neck like a 100m final on the track. While there won’t be Americans at Birmingham, there are scores of world-class sprinters hungry for gold.
There’s Olympic bronze medallist Andre De Grasse (Canada) and reigning Commonwealth Games champion Akani Simbine (South Africa) against the Australian duo of Rohan Browning and Jake Doran. In the women’s event, 35-year-old Jamaican Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce has been in scintillating form lately and is the favourite.
5. Women’s 100m freestyle final (August 3, 4.43am)
Forget the rest, Australia could go 1-2-3 in this race. The biggest threat to an Australian trifecta of medals is Canada’s Penny Oleksiak, who won the event at the Rio Olympics six years ago.
For Australia, Emma McKeon is the reigning Olympic champion, Mollie O’Callaghan recently won gold at the world championships in Budapest, while Shayna Jack is back in the pool after her drugs ban. It’s a battle between Australia’s queen of the pool, a future queen of the pool and a swimmer aiming to make up for lost time. It should be a beauty.
6. Men’s 100m butterfly final (August 3, 4.49am)
Sure, some of the best competitors in this event won’t be in Birmingham, but the battle for a medal should be fascinating.
Matt Temple is Australia’s best gold medal hope up against Canada’s Joshua Liendo. Then we have two-time Olympian Kyle Chalmers up against former pop star Cody Simpson, whose stunning rise up the rankings could land him a medal.
The intriguing element to this story is that Chalmers, traditionally a freestyler, has entered the butterfly events. Simpson is now dating Emma McKeon, Chalmers’ ex-girlfriend.
7. 3x3 wheelchair basketball (competition from July 29-August 2)
The Gliders, Australia’s women’s wheelchair basketball team, will be in action in Birmingham. They will be led by Ella Sabljak and, if you haven’t watched wheelchair basketball, it’s an incredibly skilful sport and it should be well worth tuning in.
8. Women’s T20 cricket final (August 8, 2am)
Australia’s world champions have the chance to make history in the inaugural final for women’s cricket at the Commonwealth Games. The final will be played at Edgbaston and will feature some of the best players in the world.
The group game to keep an eye out for is India taking on Pakistan (July 31, 8pm).
9. Hockey finals (August 8, men’s 9.30pm; women’s midnight)
The Kookaburras (Australian men’s side) have won every Commonwealth Games gold medal, while the Hockeyroos (women) have won three of the past four gold medals. New Zealand, India and England will be looking to spoil the party in the men’s and women’s competitions.
10. Men’s 10,000m final (August 3, 5.35am)
Joshua Cheptegei holds the world record in this event, having posted a sizzling time of 26 minutes, 11 seconds in October 2020.
The Ugandan duo of Cheptegei and Jacob Kiplimo finished second and third respectively at last year’s Olympics behind Ethiopia’s Selemon Barega. Just 0.66 seconds split first and third which, over 10 kilometres, is remarkable. Ethiopia do not compete in the Commonwealth Games, but Kenya’s best will be there.

Kimberly Stewart puts on a leggy display in a blue denim skirt as she leaves celebrity hotspot Nobu in West Hollywood
Kimberly Stewart looked incredible on Friday as she stepped out for a meal at celebrity hotspot Nobu in West Hollywood.
The American socialite, 42, who is the daughter of rocker Rod Stewart, put on a very leggy display in a blue denim mini skirt.
Fashion designer Kimberly added a simple black top and chic blazer to the look, while boosting her height in a pair of pointed heels.

Kimberly sported a natural dewy makeup look with a nude lip, while styling her blonde locks straight.
She carried a small black shoulder bag and accessorised with dainty gold jewellery.
Kimberly's pal Scott Disick didn't appear to be present, after the two have been spending a lot of time together lately.

Last month, the pair were spotted after enjoying a meal at Papi Steak in Miami Beach.
Scott and Kimberly hung out at Nobu Malibu the week before, alongside Kimberly's brother Sean Stewart, 41.
Kimberly was also seen in the passenger seat of Scott's luxurious Rolls-Royce.
She recently organized Scott's pantry with the help of her famous father, Rod Stewart.

Scott posted video of Kimberly, who runs the organizational company The Realm, sorting through his pantry with Rod to his Instagram Stories last week.
'That is some pantry Kim that you have made...get to work!' Scott said in the video. 'At least it’s Rodrick approved,' he added.
Kimberly also posted a shot of Rod admiring the newly organized space to her Instagram account.
'@sirrodstewart in his realm @therealm_ks @letthelordbewithyou #happyfathersday,' she captioned the shot.
Scott and Kimberly previously sparked dating rumours in 2015 after his split with Kourtney Kardashian, but the model's mom denied speculation by revealing their just old 'friends' and there was 'absolutely no truth to' the claims.
'They [the Stewarts] introduced Scott to Kourtney,' Alana Stewart told People at the time. 'I was there when it happened, so I can tell you they're all great pals.'
She noted: 'Scott and Kimberly and Sean are great friends and they have been for many years and Kimberly and Sean love Kourtney.'
Scott was spotted hanging out with Kimberly, Rod, and Sean last month as Kourtney prepared to tie the knot with Travis Barker in Italy.

New York, July 21 (IANS) Being infected with monkeypox is “100 times worse” than suffering Covid-19 disease, warned a US man working as a bartender in Texas.
Luke Shannahan said the disease left him suffering a 101F fever, headache and swollen lymph nodes making him look “like a frog” just two days after he was told he had been exposed, NBCDFW reported.
Calling it the “most traumatic experience” that lasted 10 days, he noted that he felt as if someone was sticking needles in his body.
“By Day 2, I started running a 101 (degree) fever and that lasted for three days. There was a constant headache. Lymph nodes were swollen like I was a frog,” he was quoted as saying.
A day or two later, he got severe blisters.
“The pain and tenderness was constant,” Shannahan said. “It’s like someone took a ball of needles and kept on stabbing you with it.”
Compared with Covid infection, which he got last year, Shannahan said monkeypox is “100 times worse”. “This was a totally different level of extreme fatigue.” He has managed to get a vaccination for the monkeypox, the report said.
In an interview with KHOU 11 news, Shannahan said he doesn’t know how he contracted the disease.
“I was at bars. I was going to pool parties. I did attend a music event over the weekend and recently all of those people have been becoming positive,” Shannahan was quoted as saying.
The Dallas Health Department notified him that he had been exposed to the virus.
“Apparently it was a contact-tracing phone call,” Shannahan said.
Shannahan said he spent the last three weeks under quarantine grappling with symptoms he recounted as “complete hell”
“You have these blisters that are inflamed and anytime it grazes something or touches something, it literally feels like someone is taking a potato peeler to your skin,” Shannahan was quoted as saying.
“The entire pain was just constant,” he said.
The infection, which is spread through bodily fluids and prolonged contact, has been largely spread among gay men, but Texas just reported its first case in a woman, the report said.
“It definitely is something that we need to be paying attention to. This is not just a gay illness, this is not something that just affects gay men that have sex with men. This is definitely something that can affect everybody,” LGBTQ advocate Austin Davis Ruiz told KHOU 11.

Just over a year ago — Monday, June 28, 2021, to be exact — the Police Review Board (PRB) met for the first time; the mayor and several councilors wished it a productive future. Two months later the Police Budget Review Board (PBRB) convened for the first time, with less fanfare, but nonetheless with optimism that its contributions would be valued.
Both boards were entirely voluntary, incurred little expense to the city ($120 for the PRB), and were entirely advisory. While the chief could dismiss its advice, the PRB offered an insight into the whole community’s experience of policing. While City Council could disregard the PBRB’s suggestions, the board as it examined the monthly budgets of the department could do a close auditing and argue for areas of more funding, areas potentially to trim, and ways to make the budget more clear that a busy City Council could not do. These and most city boards and committees are purely advisory and offer perspectives and expertise simply to make Geneva better.
We did not make it a whole year.
The PRB was invalidated, thanks to the Police Union’s lawsuit. The newly empowered conservative members of City Council could not wait to “defund” the PRB; they declined to make a pro-forma (and pro bono) appeal even though they put into jeopardy representative governance. The next time the city makes a ruling you dislike, demand a city-wide referendum (the judge’s ruling left that door wide open); or better, call into question the very existence of any commission or board the Council has created you don’t like. The PRB, even though its members went through extensive training, never had a chance to even test the process. Now, no transparent and effective means of lodging a complaint against the police department exists, except through lawsuits.
Budget season is about to commence for the city. We have a new city manager. And coincidentally, the PBRB was decapitated just before she assumed her duties — the Council, as the FLT put it, “booted” out two members, making the board essentially ineffectual. If there are not enough members for a quorum, the board cannot advance recommendations. Independent advice — perhaps allocating more funds for training, or for community outreach, or holding off on buying a new cruiser — will no longer be formally tendered.
The conservative members of City Council decided they did not like the political views of two members of the PBRB and thus, in a purely Nixonian fashion removed them. Their action was unconstitutional — it was a violation of my First Amendment rights, that is the right to challenge the conduct and actions of the government. (The First Amendment guarantees the right to voice opposition to governmental policies, without fear of retribution; it does not guarantee shooting your mouth off, such as when one councilor threatened to shoot everyone he saw on his computer screen voicing the need for police accountability ... that was two years ago almost to the day!) And wasting no time, with no board to even raise an eyebrow, the GPD is now advertising for new hires.
Perhaps my defense of a councilor and a former police officer who were subjected to harassment by the GPD was too much for some members of Council. But that was just a convenient excuse; as soon as there were five conservative votes, they acted to get rid of what they didn’t like even though they knew little about it. Conveniently, they justified their actions by claiming they simply did not like the two of us because of our views. They could not fault our responsibility to the PBRB, or even our recommendations. As much as they claim that those who support accountability are responsible for divisiveness, it has been their actions that actually foments this apparent divisiveness.
But I wonder about the depth of that divisiveness that these five councilors go on and on about. I attended a Juneteenth celebration where Ontario County Historian Preston Pierce gave a presentation on the celebrations of emancipation in Geneva and the Finger Lakes. These celebrations, which mark a social consciousness, reach much further back from the day Gen. Granger led troops into Galveston, Texas to inform enslaved people that they were free — months after the end of the Civil War, and nearly 2 1/2 years after Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation. Emancipation was celebrated well before Frederick Douglass spoke in Geneva; as Dr. Pierce outlined the history of celebrating emancipation reached back to the 1830s, shortly after New York sate ended slavery in 1827.
The advisory review boards that the city’s own youth created in the aftermath of the lynching of George Floyd belongs to that lineage. Most Geneva residents, thinking in that long historical view, one that parallels the women’s suffrage movement, would no doubt celebrate this. The deeply conservative members of City Council, with their petulant behavior and their strange (fiscally irresponsible) attachment to the police union, and failure to actually be accountable to real misconduct in the form of harassment and mismanagement, are simply anachronistic, to put it nicely. But there is something deeper — they are deeply terrified of change, hence they have offered nothing of substance to the city.
It is odd that accountability is such a dangerous word for some — as no doubt abolition was for some 200 years ago — but thinking of the long arc of history, it bends toward justice, the abolition of brutality, and real emancipation. | https://www.fltimes.com/opinion/guest-appearance-one-year-ago-in-geneva-two-boards-meant-to-help-the-city-are/article_46ad0bd7-bd88-5973-99ec-3dc805ac726b.html | 2022-07-23T08:47:58Z | https://www.fltimes.com/opinion/guest-appearance-one-year-ago-in-geneva-two-boards-meant-to-help-the-city-are/article_46ad0bd7-bd88-5973-99ec-3dc805ac726b.html | false | 1 |

San Francisco, July 22 (IANS) After initially removing them in place of Data Safety labels, tech giant Google has now said that it is rolling back the app permissions list on the Play Store.
The tech giant, however, did not specify when the permission section will be back on the Play Store, reports TechCrunch. “Privacy and transparency are core values in the Android community. We heard your feedback that you find the app permissions section in Google Play useful, and we have decided to reinstate it. The app permissions section will be back shortly,” Android Developers wrote on Twitter.”
The Data safety section provides users with a simplified view of how an app collects, shares, & secures user data, but we also want to make app permissions information easily viewable for users to understand an app’s ability to access specific restricted data and actions too,” it added.
Google launched the Data Safety labels on Play Store in April after announcing them last year. Apple, on the other hand, launched its own data privacy labels in 2020, showing what data an app can collect from the people. As Google was rolling out the Data Safety label across apps over the last few months, several blogs and researchers noted that Google also removed the permissions section, allowing one to see what kind of data access an app has on your phone from the Play Store.
Earlier in the month, Google confirmed it removed the permissions section from the Play Store on July 13, but it did not say why it had been removed. The tech giant said it is being reinstated based on the feed from the Android community but did not elaborate on why it was removed in the first place.
Users could still go to the apps menu on their phone and check out permissions for the individual app, but it’s not just reflected on the install page on Google’s app store. But the new change will let them see both Data Safety labels and app permissions directly from the Play Store.

WASHINGTON — The House Jan. 6 committee offered new details Thursday about the 187 minutes — from 1:10 pm to 4:17 pm — that elapsed between the end of President Trump’s speech to supporters near the White House and the video he put out urging the mob storming the Capitol to go home.
The committee showed that Trump spent most of those three hours in the White House dining room. As Fox News played in the background, the former president called senators to urge them to help delay the electoral count and ignored pleas from his advisors to help end the insurrection.
“For 187 minutes on January 6, [2021], this man of unbridled destructive energy could not be moved,” Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., said at the start of the hearing.
Here are four key takeaways from the hearing:
Trump’s hours in the White House dining room
The White House records of what happened during the insurrection are limited. There were no details in the official call log, nothing recorded in the White House Daily Diary and no photos taken.
Several witnesses who testified in depositions before the committee said they weren’t aware of the president reaching out to law enforcement agencies for help. Instead, he was making calls in an attempt to secure another term. Former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany testified that Trump asked her for a list of senators to contact, which she left with him.
Trump also spoke with his lawyer, Rudolph W. Giuliani, according to Giuliani’s phone records.
Later in the afternoon, as Vice President Mike Pence was evacuated from the Capitol, the president called Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala. The senator later told a local news outlet that he had to end the call with the president because he was also being evacuated.
Trump, Meadows were bombarded with requests to send mob home
Several Trump staffers, members of Congress, conservative media personalities and members of the president’s own family either urged Trump directly to call off the rioters or contacted his chief of staff Mark Meadows to make their pleas.
According to witnesses and text message records, that list included former White House Counsel Pat Cipollone; Trump’s children, Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr.; Fox News’ Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham and Brian Kilmeade; Republican Reps. Chip Roy of Texas, Jeff Duncan of South Carolina, Barry Loudermilk of Georgia; and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy.
Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, testified that McCarthy also called him, asking for any help possible.
“I got the sense that they were scared,” Kushner said.
Sarah Matthews, a former deputy press secretary and special assistant to the president, said it would have taken Trump less than 60 seconds to walk from the dining room to the press briefing room to address the public. It would have taken a few minutes to assemble the White House press corps to cover remarks from the Oval Office, she said.
“If the president had wanted to make a statement and address the American people, he could have been on camera almost instantly,” she said.
Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., who helped lead Thursday’s hearing with Rep. Elaine Luria, D-Va., and committee Vice Chair Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., said there were concerns among the president’s team that his unscripted comments could cause further damage.
“For example, Gen. Keith Kellogg told us that some staff were concerned that a live appearance by the president at the microphones at that moment could actually make matters worse,” Kinzinger said, referring to Pence’s former national security adviser. “He told us he recommended against doing a press conference because during his four years in the Trump administration, ‘There wasn’t a single clean press conference.’”
Trump’s Jan. 6 tweet on Pence came as he was being evacuated
At 2:24 p.m. that day, Trump tweeted that Pence “didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done.”
As the insurrection unfolded, the president’s national security council staff was listening to radio traffic of the Secret Service agents protecting Pence.
At 2:13 p.m., a national security council staffer noted that the windows of the Capitol were being kicked in, according to excerpts from the staffer’s chat box. Three minutes later a staffer wrote Pence was being pulled out. As the Trump tweet went out, a staffer wrote that the agents protecting Pence didn’t “sound good.”
A White House security official the committee allowed to testify anonymously said the vice president’s security detail feared for their lives and were calling to say goodbye to family members.
Matthews and Matthew Pottinger, a former deputy national security adviser to Trump, testified before the panel Thursday and said the tweet inflamed the situation.
“It was essentially him giving the green light to these people,” Matthews said. “He shouldn’t have been doing that. He should have been telling these people to go home and to leave, and to condemn the violence that we were seeing.”
She said the tweet was Trump “pouring gasoline on the fire and making things much worse.”
What happened after Trump finally told the rioters to leave
Witnesses also described the efforts in the White House and the Capitol to resume the electoral count and reassure the public — and those watching around the world — that there would be a peaceful transition of power in the hours and days following the attack.
Then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., asked officials when it would be safe to return to the Capitol. After the president’s Twitter account was suspended on Jan. 6, Trump adviser Jason Miller urged the president to say in a tweet from deputy chief of staff Dan Scavino’s account that there would still be an “orderly transition” of power.
Former Secretary of Labor Eugene Scalia sent a memo to the president requesting a Cabinet meeting to show that the president was listening to them and not “certain private individuals” who had served him “poorly” with their advice.
“Though Secretary Scalia did not say it, he was referring to Rudy Giuliani and the rest of the so-called ‘clown car’ working with President Trump to try to overturn the election,” Kinzinger said. Scalia also asked the president to stop publicly challenging the results of the election.
Inside the White House, staffers sought to control the fallout from Jan. 6. Amid fears that the Cabinet would invoke the 25th Amendment to remove him from power, the president recorded another video message on Jan. 7 to condemn the attack. But, as raw footage from that video shows, he was still unwilling to say he lost the election.
“I don’t want to say the election is over,” Trump said in a clip. “I just want to say Congress has certified the results.” | https://www.appeal-democrat.com/news/takeaways-from-thursday-s-hearing-on-jan-6-insurrection/article_c3b9ef64-0a30-11ed-b9c7-9b3b27c61223.html | 2022-07-23T09:00:38Z | https://www.appeal-democrat.com/news/takeaways-from-thursday-s-hearing-on-jan-6-insurrection/article_c3b9ef64-0a30-11ed-b9c7-9b3b27c61223.html | false | 6 |
A heat event is expected to be headed for most of BC next week including the Bulkley Valley and Lakes District, according to Environment Canada.
It is anticipated that temperatures could reach the early to mid thirty mark by Wednesday (Jul 27).
According to Meteorologist Bobby Sekhon, a ridge of high pressure is anticipated to intensify which could lead to a heat warning.
He said that it is not looking as intense as the heat dome the province saw last year.
“Anytime we’re approaching heat warning criteria that threat of heat related illness is there so, certainly we want to prepare ahead of time, make sure we know how to keep ourselves cool and hydrated,” Sekhon said.
He added that this weekend temperatures will be in the low to mid 20’s with the possibility of some showers on Sunday (Jul 24).
Sekhon also said it is possible that the region could break some records next week.
“It’s not looking like that it’s going to be too far off from records but certainly a few records are possible,” he said.
Sekhon added it is important to stay cool during the heat event.
Some things he recommends is staying cool in an air conditioned space or cooling centre, staying hydrated and to take a cool water soak.
He is also reminding people to check in with people during the heat especially those who are most vulnerable. | https://www.mybulkleylakesnow.com/53214/elevated-temperatures-expected-in-the-bulkley-valley-lakes-district/ | 2022-07-23T09:04:20Z | https://www.mybulkleylakesnow.com/53214/elevated-temperatures-expected-in-the-bulkley-valley-lakes-district/ | false | 1 |
In typical Brad Baker fashion, he attributes the success of Pinball Garage to others who help him run the North Third Street establishment.
From his business partners to his son Bradley Baker, the general manager, to friends and employees, “Everyone makes this happen,” said Baker, the owner.
“I get a lot of the spotlight for it because I’m the owner, but as any business owner would know, it really has more to do with good people. I get all the credit for the good stuff, but they deserve most of the credit.”
Because of their work, Baker doubled the size of Pinball Garage’s space and added 30 more games, and a dining area.
Baker said the city ― from the city government to the chamber of commerce and the community at large ― has developed an atmosphere for small businesses like his to thrive.

“Hamilton’s been amazing to us,” he said. “We are here and expanded because of what Hamilton’s done for us with anything we’ve ever needed.”
He said people from the mayor and city manager on down check in on him, and other businesses, on a regular basis. “Cities don’t do that stuff,” Baker said.
Several city officials attended a ribbon cutting dedicating the expansion, including Mayor Pat Moeller, who thanked Baker for his initial investment when he opened VPcabs Virtual Panel, which produces virtual pinball machines, in 2018. Then Pinball Garage opened in 2020.
“You brought a bit more fun to this town,” said the mayor. “And thank you for being a caring person. I know you’ve used this facility to have fundraisers, you care about your fellow small business person.”
Baker first made a name for himself when he appeared on the television show “Shark Tank” in 2016, presenting his virtual pinball machine company, and landed a business partnership with Entrepreneur Daymond John.
Baker, Hamilton’s 2021 Citizen of the Year, has been one of the first to step up when there’s a charitable need, from helping out Hanover Reserves after that business experienced a devastating fire to hosting a car show fundraiser for Gavin Ward, a 16-year-old who later died from complications from DIPG, a rare brain cancer.
Greater Hamilton Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Dan Bates said this expansion asked, “What more can you ask for? It looks fabulous. Games, food, friendly conversation.”

Ian Rapoport grilled over wild Zach Wilson rumors on ‘Pat McAfee Show’
Pat McAfee didn’t hold back Monday when grilling NFL insider Ian Rapoport about the Zach Wilson drama that continues to dominate headlines.
Rapoport kicked off the week with an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show,” where he is a regular guest, and was flat-out asked by McAfee, “Zach Wilson f–k his mom’s friend?”
“I don’t know,” Rapoport said of the 22-year-old Jets quarterback, who was accused of sleeping with a friend of his mom’s, later adding, “There is a lot of news I will try and break and get to the bottom of. I feel pretty comfortable leaving this one on the table.”
WARNING: EXPLICIT LANGUAGE
Rapoport appeared to be caught off guard by the question and smirked.
“I saw his social media post, which I believe 100 percent that he turned off his phone, had no service, and really truly did not know what was going on,” Rapoport continued.
Wilson, who is preparing for his second season in New York, remained quiet for days as rumors about his love life ran rampant online . On Wednesday, however, the former BYU product appeared to poke fun at the headlines in an Instagram post.
“Took the boys to @gozzerranchclub in Idaho before camp! Poor cell service…what I miss?” he quipped, revealing that he and his teammates enjoyed some time together in Idaho.
Though Wilson stayed mum for some time, the same can’t be said about his mom, Lisa Wilson, who posted fiery messages on her Instagram Stories last week. In fact, Lisa demanded that people stop calling her friends amid allegations that her son was allegedly involved with one of her pals.
“I saw his mom has taken to social media to ask people to stop discussing this issue with her friends, which is fair,” Rapoport said Monday.
McAfee also noted that he’s since become a fan of Wilson’s.
“I think Zach should be pumped about this,” he said. “Obviously his ex-girlfriend is not but who knows what the truth is and obviously Ian will never find out for us.”
Rapoport added that he believes the internet will solve the Wilson mystery , which began via an alleged Instagram comment that featured the name of the quarterback’s ex, Abbey Gile, in the handle. Gile’s Instagram has been deleted as of last Wednesday and the comments have not been confirmed.
Gile, who sparked breakup speculation with Wilson earlier this year, has allegedly moved on with Washington Commanders wide receiver Dax Milne — who was Wilson’s college roommate at BYU.
Wilson has been linked to New Jersey-based influencer Nicolette Dellano , who attended a Yankees game with Wilson in June. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2671686715021/ian-rapoport-grilled-over-wild-zach-wilson-rumors-on-pat-mcafee-show | 2022-07-23T09:26:03Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2671686715021/ian-rapoport-grilled-over-wild-zach-wilson-rumors-on-pat-mcafee-show | false | 3 |
A teacher, an Indian nationalist, and an Independence activist, Bal Gangadhar Tilak was born on July 23, 1856, in the Ratnagiri district of Maharashtra in a Marathi Brahmin family. His father, Gangadhar Tilak, was a Sanskrit scholar and a school teacher who passed away when Tilak was sixteen.
In 1877, he completed his Bachelor of Arts from Deccan College in Pune from Mathematics. In midway, Tilak dropped out from an M.A course and completed his LLB degree in 1879 from Government Law College. After his law studies, he developed his interest in participating in the Indian Independence Struggle movement.
'Father Of Indian Unrest'
In 1890, he joined the Indian National Congress (INC) and became India's most eminent and publicly known radical element. Tilak opposed the moderate attitude of INC towards British rule and encouraged self-government. Due to him, the INC had to split into two parts- Moderates and Extremist.
The British administration used to call him as 'Father of the Indian Unrest.' b The colonial authorities also conferred him with the title of 'Lokmanya', which means a leader accepted by the people. Fearless and unstoppable, Tilak began his journey after joining the INC as a revolutionary fighter against colonial rule.
'Kesari By Tilak'
In 1897, a bubonic plague outbreak was seen spreading from Bombay (now Mumbai) to Pune, and it reached the epidemic proportion by 1898. The British administration took strict actions to curb the plague, including forceful entry of Indians into private houses, inspecting homes, preventing patients from entering or leaving the city, and forming quarantine camps.
According to Wikipedia, the measures taken by the British authorities to control the epidemic filled anger and disappointment among Indians. Tilak dragged the issue in front of the public by issuing inflammatory and provocative articles in his newspaper 'Kesari.'
He later used it as a weapon against colonial rule and continued issuing articles to spread awareness among the Indian masses about the British wrong-doings. Tilak was often charged under the law of sedition by the Britishers to stop his revolutionary movements.
'Swadeshi' Movement
In the National Congress, he formed a close alliance with Lala Lajpat Rai, Bipin Chandra Pal (Lal Bal Pal), and Muhammad Ali Jinnah. From 1906 to 1918, Lal Bal Pal was the triumvirate of assertive nationalists who effortlessly and strategically fought against the British governance ideology at the grassroots level.
After the partition of Bengal, as per the strategy to weaken the nationalist movement by Lord Curzon, Tilak, with his allies, marched forward to encourage the 'Swadeshi' movement across India. Under this movement, a complete boycott of foreign goods was seen across India, and a social boycott of Indians who used foreign goods. The leaders of Congress, along with Tilak, inspired Indians to use the native goods.

Canadian home prices are dropping fast after surging during the coronavirus pandemic, but that is offering little relief for consumers who face sky-rocketing rents and fading buying power as interest rates rise. Desperate would-be buyers found themselves caught in a frenzy of bidding wars for real estate during the pandemic, when home prices in Canada rose more than 50% in just two years. Now the competition has moved to rentals, with landlords demanding months of rent upfront and at times, even pitting tenants against one another to see who will pay more, according to real estate agents and media reports.

CLEVELAND, Ohio – Even when I was going to church with the same enthusiasm that I used to brush my teeth, I knew there was a God...somewhere.
And I felt God’s powerful presence when watching the sun set over places such as Lake Erie. I asked my readers on Facebook about it.
That led to Tanya Baldwin Foose writing: “God lives at the line where the water and the sky meet.”
Just like I believe God’s signature can be seen in every sunset. Every night, they are different. In Northern Ohio, we are blessed because we live reasonably close to one of the truly great lakes.
You can argue that Lake Superior (my favorite great lake) or spots on the ocean have even more dramatic views, but the big point is this from Michael Roberts: “I love Lake Erie so much. It may sound corny, but I truly feel at one with the universe when I’m on a seashore (salt or otherwise).”
Recently, my wife and I have been heading up to the lake to walk the beach and swim a bit. From home near Akron, we went to Huron (Nickle Plate Beach) and Ashtabula Harbor (Walnut Beach). One east, one west of Cleveland. Both about an hour away.
We had not done this for years and realized what we’ve been missing.
AS THE SUN GOES DOWN...
This came from Mark Zimmerman:
“One evening in 2016, I was at the lowest point in my life. And then, this sunset happened at Lake Erie Bluffs in Perry. I felt as small as I’ve ever felt, and was reminded again of the God who is in control the greatness of what I was seeing (“the clouds rolled back as a scroll”), and cared for the smallest details of my life. A month later, I was climbing out of the valley. And thankful.”
Zimmerman was using a line from Revelation 6:14: “The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.”
The power of light turning to dark and then light again. Sometimes, the sun lights up the sky brighter than at any point in the day right before it sets. Darkness drops, and it’s as if “every mountain and island” disappears.
John Basch wrote about sitting in a Bay Village picnic area near Cahoon Creek listening to the song “I Can Only Imagine” by Mercy Me. Among the lyrics are these words: “I can only imagine what it will be like when I walk by Your side...I can only imagine what my eyes would see...When Your face is before me...I can only imagine.”
The sunsets can be a glimpse of heaven. But there also is the sunrise.
“I go early in the morning to Breakwater Beach in Geneva,” wrote Carol Janes. “I love to be alone there listening to the surf and watching the sky, clouds and birds....It’s where I pray.”
Patty White also likes Geneva: “On a clear day, you can see downtown Cleveland.”
THE POWER & THE GLORY
Mankind can control a lot of things, but not “the rising of the sun or the going down of the same,” as it says in Psalm 113:3.
The lake, the sunrises and sunsets...and yes, the storms remind us of God’s power.
You can watch a million sunsets and sunrises and they are like people in this regard – every one is slightly different.
“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands,” as it says in Psalm 19:1.
Michael Mills wrote he often goes to Port Clinton and walks the beach while listening to the Rosary.
Charles Tillie wrote he went to Edgewater Park to watch the sunset on the one-year anniversary of his father’s death. It’s where his father took a sunset photo not long after Tillie’s grandfather died, telling his son, “That’s dad riding off.”
HEAD TO THE LAKE!
Maybe this makes you want to head to Lake Erie. Many readers suggested their favorite Lake Erie spots. I can’t list them all, but here are some:
- Camp Luther, just west of Conneaut – Rick Jensen.
- Lots of votes for Mentor Headlands – Jay Schmidt, Richard Ferrell, Dana Perusek and others.
- Lakeside near Marblehead – Tim Schlotter, Carol Gardian Apple.
- The mile-long Lorain Pier – Gregory Hardwick.
- Beulah Beach between Huron and Vermilion on Route 6. – Thomas Moyers.

Go eco-friendly and save cash
To save cash and help the planet, Brits are being offered eco-friendly ways to go green while saving those extra pennies.
Useful tips include fully immersing yourself into the second-hand buying market and line-drying where possible among lots more handy hints.
Brits are being encouraged to batch cook meals, line dry clothes and buy second hand to save cash and live an eco-friendlier lifestyle.
Frugal experts at NetVoucherCodes.co.uk have given their advice on simple tips to save cash and go green.
Other advice includes borrowing rather than buying items, only using the washing machine and dishwasher when they’re full and going paperless.
John Stirzaker, from NetVoucherCodes, said: “Everyone is looking for ways to save a couple of quid especially in this current climate and there are a lot of ways you can do this while leading a more sustainable lifestyle.
“A lot of people assume that being eco-friendly requires a lot of work. There are a range of simple changes you can make to live a more eco-friendly lifestyle and it can actually save you money.
“Doing things like buying second hand and reusing household items are a great way to give products a second lease of life, reducing waste and our carbon footprint.”
Here's how to save money by going green ...
1 Buy second hand
Buying secondhand clothing is a lot cheaper than buying new items and it’s much better for the environment. You’re giving clothes a second cycle of life and reducing the number of unwanted items that get sent to landfill.
2 Borrow don’t buy
Maybe you need a jet wash to tackle your garden patio or a drill for a DIY job. When you find yourself needing the odd thing for a small task, consider borrowing it from a friend or family member.
3 Batch cook meals
Meal prep is key to saving time throughout the week, but it is also a very good way to save energy and will save you from using your kitchen appliances several times a week for long periods of time.
4 Fill the washing machine and dishwasher before using
If you have kids, it can be really tempting to throw a few items in the wash every now and again. Try to make sure this and appliances like dishwashers are always full before using.
5 Line-dry clothing when possible
Tumble drying clothes is convenient but the impact on the environment and energy use is alarming. Try to plan your washes according to the weather.
6 Go digital and paperless
Opt to have your bank statements delivered via email rather than by post. Not only will you be saving the trees, but this will also stop you from having to store paper work at home.
7 Boil kettle once and use it to fill up flasks
This is great for people working from home or for those who find themselves boiling the kettle often. Flasks retain the heat and you won’t be boiling the kettle every hour!
8 Warm up before putting the heating on
It can be really tempting to stick on the heating when you’re feeling chilly but try to warm up with a few extra layers first. Grab a thick jumper and get under the blanket with a hot water bottle. If you find that you still get cold, why not invest in a plug in heater to heat up the room you are sitting in rather than using the central heating on the whole house.

VALLETTA (Reuters) – The widow of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi has appealed a decision by a Malta court ordering the Bank of Valletta to return to Libya some 95 million euros ($100 million) deposited by Gaddafi’s late son Mutassim, court officials said.
Safiya Ferkash Mohammed and her lawyers argue in their appeal that the courts lacked jurisdiction and could not decide the case over the funds.
The sentence was delivered at the end of June after a legal battle that started in 2012, a year after Gaddafi was overthrown and killed.
Mutassim, who was also killed, was found in possession of several Bank of Valletta credit cards as the owner of a Maltese-registered company.
The appeal was filed on behalf of the Gaddafi heirs by Maltese lawyer Louis Cassar Pullicino. No date for a hearing has been set yet.
The original court had upheld arguments by Libya’s attorney-general that according to Libyan law, as an army officer, Mutassim had been precluded from drawing benefits from any business interests.
Moreover, he had failed to submit a full declaration of assets as required by law.
In her appeal, the widow argues that the Libyan laws invoked in the case were criminal ones but that no criminal case was ever initiated against Mutassim Gaddafi or his heirs.
Furthermore, the Maltese courts were asked to grant Libya a remedy pursuant to a foreign penal law whereas in principle a domestic court cannot apply the penal law of a foreign state to grant such remedy.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia's military fired a barrage of missiles Saturday at an airfield in central Ukraine, killing at least three people, while Ukrainian forces launched rocket strikes on river crossings in a Russian-occupied southern region.
The attacks on key infrastructure on the 150th day of Russia's war in Ukraine marked new attempts by the warring parties to tip the scales of the grinding conflict in their favor.
In Ukraine's central Kirovohradska region, 13 Russian missiles struck an airfield and a railway facility. Gov. Andriy Raikovych said that at least one serviceman and two guards were killed. The regional administration reported the strikes near the city of Kirovohrad, wounded another 13 people.
In the southern Kherson region, which Russian troops seized early in the invasion, Ukrainian forces preparing for a potential counteroffensive fired rockets at Dnieper River crossings to try to disrupt supplies to the Russians.
The new attacks came hours after Moscow and Kyiv signed deals with the United Nations and Turkey that were intended to avert a global food crisis. The agreements clear the way for the shipment of millions of tons of Ukrainian grain and some Russian exports of grain and fertilizer held up by the war.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in his nightly video address that the agreements offer “a chance to prevent a global catastrophe – a famine that could lead to political chaos in many countries of the world, in particular in the countries that help us.”
Despite the progress on that front, fighting raged unabated in eastern Ukraine's industrial heartland of the Donbas, where Russian forces tried to make new gains in the face of stiff Ukrainian resistance.
Russian troops also have faced Ukrainian counterattacks but largely held their ground in the Kherson region just north of the Crimean Peninsula, which Russia annexed in 2014.
Earlier this week, the Ukrainians bombarded the Antonivskyi Bridge across the Dnieper River using the U.S.-supplied High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, Kirill Stremousov, deputy head of the Russia-appointed regional administration in Kherson, said.
Stremousov told Russian state news agency Tass that the only other crossing of the Dnieper, the dam of the Kakhovka hydroelectric plant, also came under attack from rockets launched with the weapons supplied by Washington but wasn't damaged.
HIMARS, which fires GPS-guided rockets at targets 80 kilometers (50 miles) away, a distance that puts it out of reach of most Russian artillery systems, has significantly bolstered the Ukrainian strike capability.
In addition, Ukrainian forces shelled an automobile bridge across the Inhulets River in the village of Darivka, Stremousov told Tass. He said the bridge just east of the regional capital of Kherson sustained seven hits but remained open to traffic.
Stremousov saod that unlike the Antonivskyi Bridge, the small bridge in Darivka has no strategic value.
Since April, the Kremlin has concentrated on capturing the Donbas, a mostly Russian-speaking region of eastern Ukraine where pro-Russia separatists have proclaimed independence.
However, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov emphasized Wednesday that Moscow plans to retain control of other areas its forces occupy during the war.

The Russians attacked the Odesa sea trade port with Caliber cruise missiles.
This was reported in the "South" Operational Command.
Two missiles shot down by the Ukrainian Air Defense Forces, and two hit the port infrastructure facilities.
The day before, on July 22, Ukraine and Russia signed an agreement with Turkey and the UN on the export of grain by sea.
- Deputy Minister of Infrastructure of Ukraine Mustafa Nayem said that this agreement is an opportunity for farmers to export this yearʼs harvest and have funds for preparation for the next sowing. In addition, this is almost a billion dollars of foreign exchange revenue every month, which will go to support the economy and the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Control over the ports Odesa, Chornomorsk and Pivdenniy was and remains completely under the control of the Ukrainian side.
- Russian ships will not be able to accompany Ukrainian ships. Mykhailo Podolyak, adviser to the head of the Presidentʼs Office, clarified that in case of provocations, there will be an immediate military response.
- The agreement will be valid for 120 days with the possibility of extending it. According to the agreements, Ukraine does not need to mine the ports — ships will pass through safe routes within the territorial waters of Ukraine. | https://babel.ua/en/news/81903-the-russians-shelled-the-odesa-trade-port-with-caliber-missiles | 2022-07-23T10:06:08Z | https://babel.ua/en/news/81903-the-russians-shelled-the-odesa-trade-port-with-caliber-missiles | true | 2 |

BAMAKO, Mali (AP) — Jihadi rebels have attacked Mali’s Kati military base on the outskirts of the capital city Bamako, the ruling junta confirmed Friday.
It’s the first time Kati, Mali’s largest military base, has been hit by extremist rebels in their more than 10-year insurgency in the West African country.
Two vehicles loaded with explosives detonated at the camp at about 5 a.m., according to a statement issued by the military.
“The Malian Armed Forces vigorously repelled a terrorist attack on the Kati barracks,” said the statement, which said that 7 attackers were killed and 8 arrested.
“The terrorists first blew up the vehicles at the entrance to the military camp, then shells were fired at the camp,” said a military official, who requested anonymity because he is not authorized to speak to the press.
Another group of the jihadis entered the camp on foot and “began burning vehicles parked in the camp, and then the attackers stole two army vehicles,” he said.
Friday’s attack on the Kati barracks base follows a coordinated series of insurgent attacks Thursday. In one of those incidents, the extremists attacked a police base in Kolokani, 60 kilometers (37 miles) north of Bamako and two Malian soldiers were killed, said the military in an earlier statement.
The leader of Mali’s ruling junta Lt. Col. Assimi Goita frequently stays at the Kati camp, where he launched the 2020 coup that brought him to power.
Jihadi rebels linked to al Qaida and the Islamic State group have been gaining ground in their decade-long insurgency. Their attacks have mostly been in northern Mali but recently the extremists have moved into central Mali. This month they’ve moved closer to the capital.
Last week gunmen attacked an army checkpoint about 60 kilometers (37 miles) outside Bamako, killing at least six people and wounding several others, officials said.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attacks, but they appear to be by the al-Qaida-linked group known as JNIM.
The attacks show “how the al-Qaida affiliate Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin continues to expand its operations outside its traditional strongholds in northern and central Mali,” said Héni Nsaibia, a senior researcher at The Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project.
“As in other Sahelian countries such as Burkina Faso and Niger … major cities including the capitals themselves, are increasingly surrounded by a steady spread of Islamist militancy that poses an ever-increasing risk and challenge to the security environment.”
Mali has struggled to contain the Islamic extremist insurgency since 2012. Extremist rebels took control of Mali’s northern cities but were then forced out with the help of a French-led military operation. The jihadis regrouped in the desert and began attacking the Malian army and its allies. Insecurity has worsened with attacks in the northern and central regions on military targets, civilians and U.N. peacekeepers.
The U.N. force has said more than 250 of its peacekeepers and personnel have died since 2013, making Mali the deadliest of the U.N.’s dozen peacekeeping missions worldwide.
Last week the United Nations mission in Mali announced that Egypt will suspend its participation in the peacekeeping force by mid-August, citing deadly attacks. Seven Egyptian peacekeepers have been killed in Mali so far this year, according to officials.
Tensions have grown between Mali’s junta and the U.N. peacekeeping force. Earlier this month the government told the U.N. mission to suspend all flights to move its forces in the country. The government also detained 49 Ivorian soldiers who flew in to help with security for a company contracted by the U.N. mission.
Separately, a European military force that helped fight extremists withdrew from Mali at the end of June. The French military, which spearheaded the Takuba task force, announced the end of its deployment in Mali. The move was tied to France’s decision earlier this year to withdraw troops from Mali after nine years helping Malian forces fight the extremists.
The European force was composed of several hundred special forces troops from 10 countries: Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, France, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, and Sweden. It aimed at training and protecting Malian combat forces.
The exit of the European troops and tensions with the U.N. peacekeeping force come as Mali’s junta has grown closer to Russia with the Wagner Group, a private Russian mercenary force, sending fighters to Mali. | https://www.fox46.com/news/world-news/explosions-gunfire-at-a-military-base-near-malis-capital/ | 2022-07-23T10:08:01Z | https://www.fox46.com/news/world-news/explosions-gunfire-at-a-military-base-near-malis-capital/ | false | 32 |
Buhari Meets APC Leaders, Govs, Others In Abuja
Latest News, News Across Nigeria Saturday, July 23rd, 2022(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday told the leadership and some senior members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) that the unity, security and prosperity of the country will matter most to him beyond his days in office as president.
The president, who made his feelings known at a meeting with the APC leaders at the State House, Abuja, expressed delight that the party was working towards that eventuality.
He thanked the delegation led by the National Chairman of the party, Abdullahi Adamu, “for the kind words on my role in processes leading to the emergence of our candidate and his running mate for the presidential election in February, next year.”
‘‘I want to thank you all for the roles you played in the build-up, first to our national convention earlier this year, and later, to the primary elections.
‘‘You were all of one mind, wanting the best for the party with the candidate emerging in a free and fair manner.
‘‘For us all, the cohesion and unity of the party was the first priority and ambition was second. I am glad that you all saw the larger picture, rather than narrow, self-serving interests.’’
Mr Buhari recounted that when the presidential running mate, Kashim Shettima, was presented to him a couple of days ago, he had said he would reserve his comments till the handover ceremony on May 29, 2023, at the Eagle Square.
‘‘I still maintain that same position,’’ the president said.
He, however, lauded party members for acknowledging the many virtues that qualify the vice presidential candidate for the noble position.
The president expressed confidence that Mr Shettima would not disappoint the party and Nigerians at large.
He also commended the party for resolving to further mobilise more Nigerians, particularly youth to register and get their Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs), saying ‘‘It is the way to go”.
Mr Adamu, Governor of Kebbi State Abubakar Bagudu, and Mr Shettima, in separate remarks, expressed gratitude to the president for his exemplary leadership.
According to them, this virtue has strengthened the party in the aftermath of the convention and primaries.
Mr Adamu said: ‘‘Our main goal is to see the success of the APC in the forthcoming general elections.
”There’s no better parting gift than to ensure that the APC produces the next president.’’
”There’s no better parting gift than to ensure that the APC produces the next president.’’
Mr Bagudu told the president that he had set a worthy precedence on internal democracy in political parties, saying, ‘‘under pressure to dictate or suggest, you were determined that the democratic process should be given the opportunity to work and what we have seen is that democratic processes can produce very excellent results.
‘‘We have a presidential candidate and a running mate, whom we are all proud of.’’
The governor attributed the gradual return of normalcy to the North-eastern part of the country to the spirited interventions approved by the president.
He particularly acknowledged the rise in agricultural activities and food production in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe States.
The vice presidential candidate reiterated the willingness of the APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, and himself to serve Nigeria with justice, equity and fairness.
‘‘We want to solicit the support of the president once INEC lifts the ban on open-air campaigns and we want to latch on to your achievements and brand name to victory, and consolidate the leadership of the party,’’ he said.
Others present at the meeting were the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan; Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Idris Wase; former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Dimeji Bankole; former Minister of Agriculture, Audu Ogbe and former Chief of Air Staff, Sadiq Abubakar.
Also in attendance were Governors Babagana Zulum of Borno State, Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe State, Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State, a former governor of Borno State, Ali Sheriff, and the senator representing Taraba South Senatorial District, Emmanuel Bwacha.

Sidharth Shukla’s Cousin Remembers Last Phone Call With Him: Sidharth Shukla’s unfortunate demise might be a great loss to his family, fans and entertainment industry. But Sidharth’s legacy stays on with the love and adulation the actor gets for his craft and charisma. Sidharth’s cousin, Aditya Shukla who made his TV debut with Jab Jab Bahar Aaye recently revealed that he was inspired by his elder cousin . Aditya admitted that it was Sid who had an influence on him when he decided to be an actor. Aditya reacted on how the sibling never mentioned about their closeness in the media. He said, “That’s how we have always been. Even Sidharth liked to keep it lowkey and I, too, never mentioned him. I am talking about it now because I want people to know that Sidharth has a big family, and we are all there for each other.Also Read - Shehnaaz Gill Sensuously Dances to Sofia Reyes’ ‘1,2,3’ in Hot Pink Mini Dress, SidNaaz Fans Loved It | Watch
Sid And Aditya Shared a Close Bond
Aditya, reflecting on his bond with the late actor stated, “Sidharth was my elder brother, his father and my father are brothers and that’s how we are related. After he passed away, I performed his last rites. I still remember, many years ago my mother’s office was right opposite Sidharth’s home and whenever I would visit her, I would go to his house and spend time with him. When we were younger, we shared some good times together and after growing up, when I was in college, he would take me on bike rides because he knew how much I loved that. Later, when he got busy with his work, we didn’t get much time together, but we were always there for each other.” Also Read - Shehnaaz Gill Eats Sushi With Hands as She Can't Use Chopsticks: 'Mujhe Nahi Khaana Aata...'

Aditya told that he had discussed his interest in acting with Sidharth many years ago. “I used to ask him what about the challenges that he had faced when he got into showbiz and he would guide me,” he says. Aditya tried speaking to Sidharth just a few days before he passed away in September last year. He shares, “I had called him, but he was busy with his work, so we couldn’t talk. I wish we had spoken that day. But it was God’s wish and we can’t do anything about it. I sometimes feel that he has just gone abroad for work and will return soon.” Also Read - Exclusive - Vidyut Jammwal Remembers Sidharth Shukla, Reveals How His Mom's Strength 'Changed My Life' - Watch Video

The Tampa Bay Rays looked refreshed and ready following the All-Star break with a 7-3 win over the Kansas City Royals.
After two scoreless innings, the Rays offense got going in the third with some heads-up hustle from Brett Phillips. After getting on base with a lead off walk, Phillips advanced to third on a Brandon Lowe single. He was already charging for third and he noticed Royals’ center fielder Michael A. Taylor make a fielding error trying to handle the ball giving him the window he needed to advance. Randy Arozarena followed by chasing and making contact with a ball almost in the other batters box but his ground out was enough to score Phillips and give the Rays a 1-0 lead.

The Royals quickly made things even in the bottom of the third. Nicky Lopez hit a leadoff single and then stole second base just beating out the throw from Francisco Mejia. The Rays looked like they might get out of the inning without giving up a run after getting two out but Andrew Benintendi had other plans with a RBI-single that scored Lopez to tie the game 1-1.
Brad Keller struggled with his command in tonight’s game and it continued in the fourth inning with a leadoff walk to Isaac Paredes. Josh Lowe followed with a single and both runners advanced to third and second on a wild pitch from Keller. A Mejia RBI-single scored Paredes and then things got weird.
Nosebleeds seats are how we refer to the seats far away from the game. Brad Keller’s nosebleed was perfectly timed for when the game started to get away from the Royals. The Royals had a pitcher that was having command issues, has two runners on base and blood leaking out their nose and they left him out there with what looked like a tissue hanging out of his nose.
Well... this is new. Nose bleed on the mound, but he'll keep pitching.

The metaphorical bleeding wouldn’t be plugged as easily as Keller walked Phillips to load the bases. The bases weren’t loaded long as Yandy Diaz cleared the bases with a soft double to left field making it a 5-1 lead for the Rays. Another wild pitch advanced Diaz to third, though, the inning and Keller’s night ended with an Arozarena groundout to third. Keller finished with 4.0 IP, 4 H, 5 R, 4 ER, 5 BB and 1 K on 85 pitches.

Drew Rasmussen was impressive in his start for the Rays. He finished with 5.0 IP, 7 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, and 4 K on 94 pitches. The Royals did their best to get his pitch count up and fouled some pitches off to extend at-bats but his slider and fastball were both working enough to only allow the one run.
Fast forward to the seventh inning and Pete Fairbanks took the mound for the Rays. He gave up back-to-back singles to MJ Melendez and Bobby Witt Jr. resulting with runners on the corners. Witt Jr. stole second base as the Royals showed no fear in running on Mejia. Both baserunners ultimately scored following a groundout by Benintendi and a sacrifice fly from Hunter Dozier to trim the Rays lead to 5-3.
Mejia made his contribution on offense in the next inning by following Taylor Walls’ leadoff walk with a RBI-double. Mejia later scored in the inning on a RBI-single from Brandon Lowe to give us the final score of 7-3.

The Pakistani rupee PKR= continued its downward slide for the sixth straight session, falling 0.68% against the dollar on Friday, taking its decline this week to nearly 8% and for the year to over 21%, according to central bank data.
The annual performance is worse than nearly any other currency, bar Sri Lanka's rupee LKR= and Ukraine's hryvnia UAH=.
The slide has deepened an already difficult economic crisis, as Pakistan struggles with depleting foreign currency reserves and a current account deficit.
Interbank rates hit a historic intra-day low before recovering slightly to 228.37 Pakistani rupees to the dollar from 226.81 rupees on Thursday. It was at 210.95 rupees to the dollar when trading opened on the first trading day of the week, Monday and at 178.16 at the start of 2022.
The drop comes despite last week's staff level agreement reached with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for the disbursement of $1.17 billion under resumed payments of a bailout package.
Mohammad Sohail, CEO of Topline Securities, told Reuters investors worried whether the government would be able to take corrective actions requested by IMF after losing provincial by-elections in the province of Punjab.
"Moreover there was some confusion on support from Saudi Arabia which as per news was necessary for IMF approval," he told Reuters.
Bloomberg on Thursday reported the IMF was assessing Saudi Arabia’s commitment to helping with Pakistan's funding gap before the multilateral lender disburses fresh funds to the South Asian nation.
On Wednesday, Pakistan's finance minister, Miftah Ismail, blamed the rupee's slide on political turmoil and speculation, saying he expects market jitters over the currency's sharp decline to subside soon.
A day later he said pressure on the rupee was also due to larger-than-expected import orders - particularly fuel - in June, payments for which were being made this month.
But that pressure eased in July and would be reflected in the currency by next month, he added.
He said the country had built up fuel reserves, which would lower import requirements for the next few weeks. | https://bdnews24.com/economy/p206s2dt13 | 2022-07-23T10:36:24Z | https://bdnews24.com/economy/p206s2dt13 | false | 1 |
The Desperate Lives Inside Ukraine’s “Dead Cities”
Since Russia shifted its vicious invasion to the east, ordinary people trapped on the front lines have faced missile storms and starvation—and have no source of help except one another.
People in Ukraine sometimes describe the intensity of shelling in simple auditory terms. A place can be “quiet” or “loud.” As the volume increases, so do the chaos, misery, death, and fear. You cannot experience such fatal noise without instinctively grasping its purpose, which is to brutalize psychically as much as physically—to demoralize and stupefy. Nowhere on earth is louder today than the Donbas region of Eastern Ukraine, where Russia has concentrated its forces and its firepower since April, after abandoning its disastrous bid to capture Kyiv. Russian officials, far from being humbled by that ordeal, have insisted on their continued determination not only to seize Ukrainian land and resources but also to punish and terrorize Ukrainians and their supporters. “I hate them,” Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy chairman of Russia’s security council, wrote on social media in early June. “They are bastards and scum,” he went on. “As long as I live, I will do everything to make them disappear.”
When Medvedev posted this statement, I was in Lysychansk—at the time, the easternmost city still under Ukrainian control. Artillery boomed and crashed. Power lines drooped across deserted streets. Not a single shop was open. There was no electricity, gas, fuel, cellular service, or running water. As my translator and I drove through empty neighborhoods strewn with rubble, Medvedev’s desire, here at least, seemed to have been realized. Then, not long after we arrived, we encountered something unexpected: a group of people.
They were loitering outside a fire station on the main avenue downtown. Sheets of plywood covered the broken windows of the red three-story building. A banner reading “prevent, rescue, assist” hung above the entrance. A middle-aged woman with a graying pixie haircut and an incandescent smile introduced herself as Tanya. The incongruity between her circumstances and her disposition became ever more pronounced as she recounted her troubles. She worked as a cleaning lady in a house that had been bombed the previous day. “I’m about to haul some bricks,” she said, her eyes sparkling. “Tidy things up.” She’d come to the fire station in search of food. Two days earlier, a Russian air strike had obliterated a community center where city employees and local volunteers had been distributing humanitarian aid.
“Now there’s nothing here,” Tanya said.
A volley of rockets whistled overhead and slammed to earth nearby, pulverizing concrete. A firefighter opened the door and yelled at us to get inside. Stairs descended to a narrow underground corridor with a dirt floor. It was pitch-black, and during the quiet between explosions you could hear the labored breathing that adrenaline induces. Another rocket shook the walls. Then another. A woman began to weep. “Mother of God, please help us,” she prayed.
“When will it be over?” a young boy asked.
“It’s long this time,” a man remarked.
“Hold the children close.”
The blasts eventually subsided, and everyone climbed back up into the light. Tanya was in the stairwell, laughing with a tall, hunched man whose eyes were gray and clouded. His name was Leonid.
“He’s with me,” Tanya said, grinning mischievously.
It wasn’t true. Leonid’s wife, daughter, and granddaughter had fled to Poland at the beginning of the war, and he now lived alone. He had cataracts and glaucoma, and the drops that prevented his vision from deteriorating were no longer available in Lysychansk. Although he saw mostly amorphous shapes—“like everything is in a deep fog”—he’d walked nearly a mile, under sporadic bombardment, in search of something to eat or drink. At the top of the stairs, a fireman behind a reception desk gave him a loaf of bread.
“Can I have another?” Leonid asked.
The fireman reached into a bag and produced a second loaf.
“Is there any butter?”
“Maybe tomorrow. None right now.”
Leonid and Tanya returned outside. Tanya said that she was going to see what she could salvage from the wreckage of the house where she worked. Leonid placed his bread in a metal cart that was filled with plastic jugs. Almost everyone in Lysychansk, I’d soon learn, carried containers with them whenever they moved around the city—paint buckets attached to the handlebars of bicycles, gunnysacks bulging with two-litre soda bottles, old jerricans in wheelbarrows—because you had to be prepared in case you came upon some water.
Another high-pitched barrage sang across the sky. I ran back into the basement. When I reëmerged, Leonid was still standing where I’d left him, looking around in consternation, no doubt wondering where everyone had gone.
Whereas many residents of Kyiv were shocked when, in late February, missiles first landed on their city, Ukrainians in the Donbas had been enduring such threats since 2014. After the Revolution of Dignity unseated the Ukrainian President and Kremlin ally Viktor Yanukovych, Vladimir Putin dispatched troops to arm and support pro-Russian separatists in the eastern provinces of Donetsk and Luhansk, which together compose the Donbas region. During the next eight years, more than fourteen thousand people died in a stalemated conflict, while Russia and the separatists consolidated their dominion over about a third of the Donbas. After Russian forces retreated from Kyiv, in April, they repositioned in the east, where, the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told India Today, they would aim “to fully liberate” Donetsk and Luhansk.
This second phase of the war began the same way the first one ended: with a massacre. On April 8th, while communal graves of murdered civilians were still being excavated near Kyiv, a Russian missile armed with cluster bombs targeted a railway station in Kramatorsk, the provisional seat of Ukrainian-held Donetsk. More than a thousand people were awaiting trains to take them away from the impending offensive in the Donbas. “As soon as I arrived, I saw a little girl lying there with no legs, hugging her Teddy bear,” a police officer who responded to the scene told me, when I visited Kramatorsk this summer. Sixty-one civilians were killed, and about a hundred and twenty were wounded. “There were pieces of people everywhere,” the officer said. “When someone died, we took their tourniquets off and put them on someone else. By the end, my boots were filled with blood.”
The attack established a tactical precedent for the Russian military, which has prosecuted its campaign in the east by relentlessly battering towns and cities from afar. Because the Donbas borders Russia, a continual feed of ordnance has sustained the onslaught. Russian commanders, meanwhile, have learned from their fiasco in the north of Ukraine. Rather than overextend their forces with daring attempts at lightning victories, as they did around Kyiv, they have advanced in the Donbas with a plodding but deliberate implacability. Animated maps of the shifting front line show a red blob seeping westward like spilled wine spreading over a tablecloth.
Although the conflict in 2014 displaced many people in the Donbas, approximately six million civilians still lived there when Russia launched its full-scale invasion. By June, that number had been reduced by half. On my way to the region, I met with Oleksandr Stryuk, the mayor of Severodonetsk, which faces Lysychansk from the eastern bank of the Siverskyi Donets River. Stryuk had evacuated with his staff a few days earlier, after Russian artillery destroyed one of three bridges leading to the city. “At that point, we had to go,” he told me. We were in a hotel room in Dnipro, two hundred miles to the west, where Stryuk was lodging temporarily. He looked exhausted and stunned. Although he cast his decision to flee as unavoidable, the topic made him visibly uncomfortable and perhaps, I thought, ashamed. “It was very difficult to convince people to leave,” Stryuk said. He estimated that thirteen thousand residents remained in Severodonetsk, which once had a population of a hundred thousand and was now an isolated urban combat zone racked by ferocious street fighting.
Even then, it appeared likely that the same fate awaited Lysychansk. The tether connecting the city to the rest of Ukraine was rapidly fraying. Russian forces had cut off the highway that led southwest to the nearest garrison town, Bakhmut, and they were squeezing from both sides an alternative network of rutted back roads. Recently, a French journalist attempting to enter Lysychansk had been killed while riding in an armored vehicle, when shrapnel from a Russian shell pierced the windshield. A few days after I spoke with Stryuk, my translator and I followed several policemen in a soft-shell Land Cruiser along the same route, through forsaken agricultural villages and rolling green-and-yellow fields. Smoke rose on the horizon, camouflaged fighting positions had been dug into the roadsides, and military vehicles trundled back and forth: tanks, Humvees, ambulances, and trucks with rocket-launching systems mounted on the back. Here and there, enormous slag heaps from decommissioned coal mines jutted unnaturally from the otherwise bucolic landscape. On the wall of a boarded-up gas station, someone had spray-painted “lysychansk” next to an arrow pointing east.
The problem with farmland in an artillery war is the dearth of cover, and when we turned onto an open straightaway the Land Cruiser ahead of us accelerated to more than ninety miles an hour. A Ukrainian checkpoint stood at the city’s entrance. Soldiers in flak jackets and no shirts, glistening with sweat, shovelled earth from a trench. A Russian missile would hit the checkpoint a few weeks later. Video of the aftermath shows a crater spanning the width of the road, and a smashed cargo van that had been filled with food.
The fireman who gave Leonid the loaves of bread was named Viktor. A thirty-two-year-old native of Lysychansk with a permanently furrowed brow and a weary gaze at odds with his youthful features, he’d been with the department for more than ten years. His ex-wife and his son had evacuated weeks earlier, along with most of the civilian residents. But as much as a fifth of Lysychansk’s population of a hundred thousand or so had remained in the city. When I asked Viktor if he’d considered joining his family, his glum expression deepened into an indignant scowl: “What, and leave our people behind? Almost everyone has already abandoned this place.”
There was a note of reproach in his voice. The number of firefighters in the Lysychansk squad had dwindled from a hundred and fifty to forty-nine. The station had been bombed three times. All but two of the engines were out of service. Russian artillery caused near-daily conflagrations throughout the city. After every fire, Viktor and his colleagues filled the engines at a nearby lake (which the Russians sometimes shelled, rendering it inaccessible). Another engine, parked outside, had been hit by ordnance; its windshield was shattered and its front end crushed. Crowds gathered to fill jugs and bottles from a spigot on its side, which was connected to a tank that the firefighters periodically replenished. Although the water from the lake was meant for washing only, many people drank it. Some boiled it first over open flames; others left glass jars in the sun, hoping that the summer heat would kill bacteria.
The firehouse had a Starlink Internet connection, powered by solar panels, which had also made it a locus for residents in search of something no less vital than sustenance: contact with the outside world. While I was talking with Viktor, a man handed him a scrap of paper. On it was a phone number and the words “We are alive and well.” The update was for the man’s wife, a refugee in Spain. Viktor added the paper to a tall stack. Some of the notes were brief phrases scrawled on Post-its or pieces of cardboard; others, lengthy letters, in neat cursive, covering ruled loose-leaf pages. When the firefighters had spare time, they called the numbers and recited the messages to whoever answered:
¬Ý ¬Ý¬Ý¬Ý‚ÄúI truly hope that where you are is better than where I am. Things are tolerable here, though not really. I am watering the plants.‚Äù
¬Ý ¬Ý¬Ý¬Ý‚ÄúYour girl is changing for the better.¬Ý.¬Ý.¬Ý. I love you very much, I miss you a lot, I feel more than ever that I want to be only with you, for all my life.‚Äù
¬Ý ¬Ý¬Ý¬Ý‚ÄúKeep your chin up, we‚Äôll go on living. Victory will be ours, at whatever cost. We are on our own land. Please take care of yourselves, my darlings.‚Äù
I asked Viktor whether he begrudged the firefighters who had departed Lysychansk. “It was their decision,” he replied, adding pointedly that none of his friends had fled. “We might want to, but we don’t talk about it.” In the face of an enemy that wished to annihilate Ukrainian identity, resistance had assumed a social as well as a martial form. The war had eroded Lysychansk to a tenacious core, but a remarkable sense of order and organization persevered. Not far from the firehouse, the last two civilian doctors in town—a pediatrician and a gynecologist—lived in the basement of a maternity clinic. Explosions had broken the windows and shrapnel pocked the walls. Along with a nurse, the doctors were carefully rationing a meagre stock of oats and pasta. “We can’t do much,” the gynecologist admitted. Their medicine cupboard was depleted; without electricity, none of their equipment worked. “But if we leave there will be no one left,” he said.
More than a hundred police officers maintained a presence in Lysychansk. Beyond evacuating civilians, distributing aid, and supporting the military, they had forged ahead with their peacetime duties. When I visited their headquarters, a wiry man in a tank top who’d pilfered the liquor section of a shuttered supermarket was being booked. The Mayor had just issued a decree ordering “the destruction of alcoholic beverages” in stores and retail chains. I spent a week in Lysychansk, and such frivolous bureaucratic gestures, so discordant with the exigencies of the moment, felt both poignantly aspirational and alarmingly out of touch.
The headquarters itself embodied this tension. It stood on a hill that sloped down to the river, across which dark plumes mushroomed over Severodonetsk. Artillery crossed above the roof. Each time I stopped at the headquarters, it struck me as reckless and absurd that such an appealing target should be so conspicuously situated, and I was unsure whether to understand the brazenness as a symbol of defiance or denial.
“We don’t have another location,” the regional chief, Oleh Hryhorov, told me one morning in his office. Outside, we could hear bursts from a Kalashnikov—a policeman shooting at a Russian drone. In late June, shortly after I had left the Donbas, a direct hit on the building partially demolished it, injuring at least twenty officers. When I texted Hryhorov to inquire about the attack, he responded with the same unconvincing assurance that the man at the fire station had sent his wife in Spain: “All is well.”
Up the road from the community center that Tanya had mentioned—where, until its destruction, two days earlier, she and others had been seeking humanitarian relief—an ad-hoc band of volunteers were still distributing food and water from an elementary school. People gathered in the parking lot, with bicycles, carts, and trolleys, beside a crater the size of a small swimming pool.
“We have mothers who can’t walk,” someone protested.
“That happened a few days ago,” Vlad, a pale and stocky twenty-two-year-old whose breath smelled faintly of liquor, informed me. He wore a boonie cap, aviator sunglasses, and a colorful patterned T-shirt. Before the war, he’d been a d.j. for weddings and parties. “Hard rock and disco,” he said, were his preferred genres. His mother and his younger brother had fled to Western Ukraine, but Vlad had felt obliged to stick it out in Lysychansk. Initially, dozens of volunteers had been helping at the school; only seven remained. In one of the classrooms, boxes of bottled water, diapers, grain, and other essential goods—which N.G.O.s and the regional government occasionally sent in convoys from Bakhmut—were stacked from floor to ceiling.
More than a hundred locals lived in the basement. When Vlad brought me downstairs, we had to use the light on his walkie-talkie to navigate dank passageways lined with cots and thin mats on the tops of tables and pushed-together chairs. Almost everyone was elderly. They sat in small groups, huddled by flickering flames. A frail-looking woman asked Vlad whether he had an extra flashlight that he could spare. He said that he did not.
The woman’s thin hand cupped the nub of an expended candle. She told us that she had been in the basement for more than three months. The toilets were overflowing. Wet wipes were the only means of bathing. “Sometimes I go up just to breathe some fresh air,” she said. Often, whole days passed underground.
Notwithstanding the conditions, the availability of nourishment at the school was a rare and precious amenity. Much of Lysychansk’s remaining population was concentrated in a district called R.T.I.—a Russian abbreviation of “Rubber Goods Factory”—and it was too dangerous to walk or bicycle from there to the city center. A drought of gasoline precluded driving. Some of the marooned residents were starving. A middle-aged construction worker named Yura was the only person still regularly bringing humanitarian aid to the neighborhood. When Vlad and I emerged from the school basement, we found Yura preparing to head out. Vlad would be joining him. A large knife was attached to Yura’s flak jacket and a Marlboro dangled from his mouth. The unclipped chinstrap of his off-kilter helmet only added to his air of renegade insouciance. Later, he would share with me his dubious contention that appropriately fastened headgear could snap your neck when struck by shrapnel.
He was from Severodonetsk, where, after evacuating his wife and stepdaughter to Dnipro, he had done the same work that Vlad and his peers were now undertaking at the school in Lysychansk. For the first three months of the war, the Severodonetsk volunteers had been based in a sprawling sports center and concert venue called the Ice Palace; Russian shelling had since reduced the complex to scorched rubble. Yura had fled Severodonetsk a week before the Ice Palace was razed. Artillery had already hit his apartment building twice; he’d absconded in a hurry, in flip-flops, without packing any bags, after spotting Chechen fighters in his neighborhood. (Chechens loyal to Ramzan Kadyrov, the autocrat and Putin ally, played an instrumental role in the grisly siege of Mariupol, and are singularly abhorred in Ukraine.) Blasts had shattered the windows of Yura’s sedan and dented its hood and doors, but he had driven it across the last traversable bridge to Lysychansk, with his pet Shar-Pei, Ben, in the passenger seat. Upon learning that no one was bringing aid to R.T.I., he’d persuaded a priest to lend him a van and the regional government to supply him with provisions. At night, he slept at a firehouse in Bakhmut, where he’d earned a reputation for both his courage and his temper. “We are acting with our heads, Yura with his heart,” a fireman in Bakhmut had told me.
At the Lysychansk school, Yura grumbled, “Let’s fucking move”—whether to Vlad or to Ben, it was difficult to say.
The abbreviation R.T.I. refers to a rubber factory that opened in the mid-sixties to produce hoses and conveyor belts for coal mines. The adjacent neighborhood was constructed to accommodate the plant’s eight thousand workers, along with their families. In the following decades, an array of similar facilities turned Lysychansk into an industrial-manufacturing hub. The rubber plant continued operating after the collapse of the Soviet Union but shut down in 2010, because of mismanagement, corruption, and the global financial crisis. Since then, Lysychansk had struggled with many of the same difficulties afflicting factory towns around the world: poverty, urban blight, and alcohol and drug abuse.
In 2014, separatists occupied Severodonetsk and Lysychansk, but Ukrainian forces soon pushed them back some thirty miles, where they entrenched themselves for the next eight years. The simmering conflict deterred investment and development in the region, exacerbating its economic plight. The area’s other major employer, the coal industry, suffered as poorly maintained mines collapsed, flooded, and closed. If the assault on Kyiv featured the grotesque spectacle of wanton violence against an ancient cultural landmark turned modern cosmopolis, the tragedy of Lysychansk has consisted of multiplying the woes of a little-known city that was already marginalized and in distress. This was particularly true in R.T.I.
The road to R.T.I. dropped steeply toward the Siverskyi Donets River, then proceeded along a set of railroad tracks into a grid of brutalist apartment towers. Both lanes were gouged with mortar holes, their splash patterns fanning across the pavement. At mills and warehouses, Ukrainian soldiers fortified trenches and fired deafening cannons toward Severodonetsk. Yura parked outside a five-story residential building that looked uninhabited.
No sooner had he and Vlad opened the rear doors of the van than people started streaming out. Most were women. In February, the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, had announced a general mobilization, and many men had been conscripted; others may have joined the separatists. But the gender imbalance was also connected to factors unrelated to the war. Some men had succumbed to health complications related to their labor in the factories and the mines, and a number of women, when I asked about their husbands, answered brusquely, “He drank.” Vlad had responded likewise when asked about his father.
“I’ve been fainting from hunger,” a woman told him now. “How is no one else coming here? We haven’t eaten in a week.”
“I’m just a volunteer. I don’t know the answers to these questions.”
“We’re people, not beasts,” the woman said.
Her left arm ended above the elbow. She’d lost it in 1972, at the rubber plant, when a steel roller grabbed her hand. Before the war, she’d received a monthly pension of a hundred and twenty dollars; now, like all the other retirees in Lysychansk, she was unable to withdraw the payments. A rocket had cracked the walls of her building. She crossed herself and said, “It’s still there, sticking through the roof. We don’t know when it will explode.”
Another woman said, “Our apartment has been shelled three fucking times. My mother’s eighty-two. She has no more diapers. I want to get the hell out of here, but she has dementia.”
While Yura and Vlad were unloading boxes from the van, something loud screamed down and detonated nearby—once, twice. Everyone hurried inside. There was no basement, so we all crammed into the stairwell as a third explosion rocked the building. During the ensuing silence, one of the women quipped, “Well, we’re used to this.”
“Don’t joke,” Yura snapped. He was peering out the doorway, with Ben standing at his side. “This is how it started in Severodonetsk,” he warned. “Soon you’ll all be begging us to come and get you. But it will be too late—we won’t be able to.”
“You can get them evacuated!” Yura shouted. “There are weapons across the river that will wipe R.T.I. off the face of the earth.”
“No, no,” the women mumbled, shaking their heads.
Another shell landed and a woman sitting on the steps, gripping a cane, began to whimper. “You’re scaring the grandmothers,” someone told Yura.
But this was his intention. “I was one of the last to leave,” he went on. “You can’t imagine it. Women screaming, children screaming. Total hysteria—and you can’t do anything. Bam! Bam! All day long. It’s not random, it’s systematic. They focus on a zone, and no one is left alive.”
Taking out his phone, he offered to show them photographs.
“We’ve already seen.”
‚ÄúYou haven‚Äôt seen enough. There were no police, no rescuers, no medics.¬Ý.¬Ý.¬Ý. And you‚Äôre making jokes? Fuck.‚Äù Noticing someone outside, he said, ‚ÄúHere‚Äôs another old fool. We‚Äôll be picking up pieces of people like this.‚Äù
For a while, the women seemed chastened by Yura’s diatribe, or, anyway, uninterested in provoking him. But then, after a few minutes, one of them said firmly, “At least we’re home. Who needs us out there without money? Apartments in Dnipro are six thousand hryvnias”—about two hundred dollars—“a month. How can we pay that? I understand what you’re telling us, but you can’t save everyone.”
We stopped at four more buildings before the van was empty. Each had between thirty and fifty tenants, including children and infants. R.T.I. teemed with vegetation, and in front of some apartments women brewed tea with the blossoms of linden trees (a traditional remedy for anxiety), using improvised camp stoves made of cinder block and scrap metal. Others scavenged for edible plants and berries, or gathered branches for burning. Everywhere we went, residents told Yura about more places where people were in dire need: the geriatric, the disabled, the mentally ill.
Vlad had saved the last box for his grandparents, who lived nearby, in a house perilously close to the river. When his grandmother Tatyana answered the door, she burst into tears and embraced him. They were tears of relief: she had feared that we were members of the Ukrainian artillery team that was positioned at the end of their short dirt lane. Soldiers had come by several times, Tatyana explained, asking to hide their vehicles in the driveway or to shelter in the living room.
“We can’t get any sleep,” she said. “Things are whistling over our roof all night long.”
“You need to leave,” Vlad told her.
“What about the dog and the cat?”
“It’s better to go before something happens. I can take you.”
Vlad‚Äôs grandfather Ivan appeared. A former coal miner, he exuded the vestigial fatigue of a lifetime of toil. ‚ÄúGo where?‚Äù he said. His voice was soft but adamant. ‚ÄúWe‚Äôre not going anywhere. They‚Äôll take everything if we leave. And our garden¬Ý.¬Ý.¬Ý.‚Äù
In the back yard, Ivan showed us rows of onions, cucumbers, garlic, peppers, potatoes, and strawberries. A bathtub contained water from a local well. He and Tatyana limited their trips there: a Russian shell had recently killed two of their neighbors in the vicinity. Part of the garden burst with roses. Ivan snipped off half a dozen of the flowers—holding the clippers with four fingers, having lost one in the mine—and gave them to his grandson.
A garage across the street had been flattened. A metal gate still hung on its hinges. Across it someone had written in chalk, “haircuts, manicures, pedicures, perms, highlights, eyebrow tinting.”
A woman in a lime-green dress emerged, wearing sandals that displayed hot-pink toenails. She’d been a hairdresser before the war. When her salon closed, she’d tried to work from home. A rocket had exploded on her property. As she showed me around the debris, she spoke with a breathless, disjointed urgency that, like the advertisement on her gate, seemed off. At a certain point, she exhorted me not to film her, because she did not want any fines for operating a business without the proper paperwork.
“Do you get many customers?” I asked.
Across the river, we could hear the methodical decimation of Severodonetsk. “Not these days,” she said.
The Ukrainian-controlled corridor between Lysychansk and Bakhmut resembled the neck of an hourglass, with the two cities as the bulbs. Because the corridor was narrowing by the day and might be pinched off at any moment, we spent each night in the relative safety of Bakhmut. A few shops were still open there, and, crucially, a snack stand had continued serving hot sandwiches. In the afternoons, soldiers lined up at the window, buying meals to take back to the front. Haggard and filthy, they looked like travellers from a distant world. One man removed his shirt and adjusted the bandages that were wrapped around his torso. All of the soldiers had carabiners clipped onto the backs of their flak jackets, to enable extraction from trenches by rope.
Their vehicles were in no better shape than they were. One day, a Volkswagen van pulled up with a shattered windshield, no sliding door, and shrapnel gashes across its hood. “Luckily, I was driving fast,” a thirty-three-year-old soldier named Mykhailo told me. He spoke flawless English and said that he had fought in the suburbs of Kyiv. The combat in the Donbas, however, was unique. “None of us has seen anything like this,” he said. According to Mykhailo, the Ukrainians were so overwhelmingly outgunned that they seldom fired their heavy weapons, for fear of betraying their locations. “We send two, three shells, and they send seventy. You can’t move. You just sit in the trench while they shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot. They don’t stop.” The Russian arsenal has included thermite munitions, which rain down thousands of burning chemical pellets capable of melting steel, and thermobaric weapons, which release a cloud of fuel that a subsequent charge ignites, creating a vacuum of vaporizing heat and pressure.
The asymmetry could be confusing for soldiers like Mykhailo, who knew that the United States had committed more than five and a half billion dollars in military aid to Ukraine. Recent shipments had included M777 howitzers, which could hit a target with high precision from twenty-five miles away, and High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, or himars, whose two-hundred-pound warheads had double that range. But these systems had been slow to arrive in the Donbas, and their operation required special training once they did. Neither Mykhailo nor any other soldiers I met had seen an M777 or a himars. “Maybe they’re somewhere,” Mykhailo said, shrugging.
The mission of most Ukrainian units was straightforward: weather the blitz and hold the line. Often, that meant dying. According to Zelensky, up to six hundred Ukrainian troops were being killed or wounded each day in the Donbas. A medic at a military hospital in Bakhmut told me that she and her team had been receiving between fifty and a hundred patients a day. “We’re in Hell,” the medic said, matter-of-factly. She added that she had become numb to the butchery, and now treated with mechanical detachment everything from gruesome burns to traumatic amputations. Indeed, she spoke with a peculiar remoteness that lifted only when she recalled a gravely injured soldier who, squeezing her hand, had asked, “Do you think they knew where they were sending us?”
Not accidentally, another victim of the carnage had been morale. The extraordinary esprit de corps that had gripped Ukrainian fighters during their defense of Kyiv was attenuating in the Donbas. My translator and I were staying in the last hotel still open in Bakhmut. When we returned from Lysychansk one night, four young men in civilian clothes approached us in the parking lot. They were soldiers, originally from Western Ukraine, who had been sent east as reinforcements. In Bakhmut, each had been issued a Kalashnikov, four magazines, and two hand grenades, then deployed to the front. According to the soldiers, the sole instruction that they received was not to retreat. They weren’t told which unit they were in or under whose command they fell. A storm of Russian shelling soon wounded three of their comrades; after evacuating them to the nearest Ukrainian checkpoint, the four reinforcements had been uncertain how to proceed. Returning to their position would have been suicide. But whom were they supposed to contact for guidance? In the end, they caught a ride to Bakhmut in a military truck, and now they were terrified of being arrested for desertion. They had shared all this with us because they wanted our advice.
Having none to give, we offered cigarettes instead.
As the soldiers smoked and mulled their predicament, one of them said, “They don’t give a fuck about us.” He held up his cigarette butt. “For those in charge, the individual soldier is like this”—throwing the butt to the ground, he extinguished it under his heel.
The engagement of ordinary citizens in the war effort was also not at all like what it had been in Kyiv. While the capital was under attack, many residents not in the armed forces found other ways to contribute: weaving camouflage nets, filling sandbags, cooking and delivering meals, soliciting foreign donations for equipment and medicine. These volunteers were often English-conversant students, artists, entrepreneurs, or white-collar professionals, and collectively they demonstrated an astounding capability to network and mobilize resources. For the coal miners, farmers, and factory workers of the Donbas, however, personal survival eclipsed all other concerns.
The extreme scarcity of resources in places like Lysychansk—a problem that Kyiv never experienced—inevitably widened the breach between civilians and the Army. Several people in Lysychansk complained to me about Ukrainian soldiers stealing from shops. When I visited one of the few public wells in town, a dozen or so locals were waiting around a pipe from which a thin trickle of water spilled. The halting flow had been caused by a group of soldiers, who were using a generator and a hose to pump water directly into a reservoir in the back of their jeep. Though none of the locals reproached the soldiers, they obviously weren’t happy. “We’re nobody,” a middle-aged man who’d been waiting his turn at the pipe for more than an hour said, making an “X” with his arms. As soon as the soldiers departed, the water cascaded from the pipe, and the resentful mood abated.
Each morning that we returned to Lysychansk, we found it further transformed into a military zone. Wrecked vehicles were towed into the roads as barricades. Sandbagged machine-gun nests appeared at corners and intersections. Rockets and mortars were launched with growing frequency from back yards, parking lots, and playgrounds. The painted words “people live here” and “children” appeared on doors. The accelerating encroachment of the war was amplified by a thickening pall of smoke. At times, you could not see across the river to Severodonetsk.
On one such afternoon, at the firehouse, I found Viktor telling an older woman in a black blouse that the Starlink connection had been turned off. The woman was upset. Her message was important. My translator offered to relay it from Bakhmut. The woman gave him two small pieces of paper—one with her daughter’s phone number, the other with her son’s. On each was written the same information: “Father died. We buried him in the courtyard.”
Amid the bushes between apartment blocks in R.T.I., I’d seen fresh graves with homemade wooden crosses, and, when I returned to the neighborhood a second time with Yura and Vlad, two sisters had told them that their sixty-three-year-old mother was lying dead in their apartment. She’d suffered a heart attack during a prolonged bombardment.
“We don’t know what to do with the body,” one of the sisters said.
After the widow left the fire station, I asked Viktor whether he had changed his mind about evacuating. He shook his head: “I’m staying.”
A few hours later, while driving through downtown, we passed a burning house. An engine was parked outside. A woman in a striped dress stood in the street, weeping. She’d been in the basement when the munition landed. I followed a hose through the front door. Viktor stood under a collapsing section of the roof, dousing flames. He wore a helmet and a bulletproof vest over his Nomex uniform. His face was smeared with sweat and soot, and he winced against the heat.
“Do you need a break?” another firefighter asked him from the living room, which, strangely, had been all but unaffected by the blaze. A painting of a vase with daisies, in an ornate gilded frame, hung above a sideboard decorated with silver statuettes.
“Not yet,” Viktor said.
The pressure from the hose generated waves of opaque, billowing smoke, and after a few minutes he started coughing. “Here,” he said, handing the hose off to the other firefighter.
Viktor staggered into the living room, doubled over, with his hands on his knees. He spat, cleared his nostrils, and struggled to catch his breath. Then there was a boom outside and someone yelled, “They’re shelling!”
“So do we move?” the firefighter with the hose asked.
“Leave it! Go! We’re done here!”
As I ran to our car, I passed the homeowner, still standing in the street. She had nowhere to go.
While Olga chased after her cat, her fourteen-year-old son guided his great-grandmother, who was blind and clung to his arm, along the path.
“Be careful, there’s a step.”
“O.K., my dear. Where are we going?”
“We’re leaving. Mom will explain everything to you later.”
Rushing to retrieve a bag of clothes, Olga stooped to remove a kettle from the cinders of an open fire. Muscle memory. It took a little while for the boy to get his great-grandmother into the van, but the whole operation, from arrival to departure, lasted approximately seven minutes. The video that I filmed during that time records the sound of thirty-six explosions.
The police deposited the family—and the cat—at the fire station, where they joined other residents waiting to be transported to Bakhmut. Olga told me that she had no idea where her family would go from there. She had no friends or relatives elsewhere in Ukraine. Since February, as many as three million people have been displaced from the Donbas. Most of them have lacked the wherewithal to move abroad. Those without other options—like Olga, her grandmother, and her son—typically end up in shelters.
To ferry people to Bakhmut, the firefighters used a hulking armored vehicle that resembled an off-road bank truck. They called it the Crocodile. I’d ridden in it once, with evacuees who had silently peered out the portholes as their native land slipped by. The sealed compartment was hot and oppressive, and one of the passengers had vomited profusely. In Bakhmut, the Crocodile had dropped everyone off at a bus station badly damaged by shelling. Eventually, the evacuees were told, volunteers would take them to Dnipro. What might happen after that, nobody knew.
Although the volunteers at the elementary school kept imploring people to leave Lysychansk, they seemed incapable of accepting the danger that they themselves faced. After my second trip to R.T.I. with Vlad, the d.j., and Yura, the construction worker, they brought me to a picnic area where a volunteer named Natasha had prepared an elaborate lunch for the team: borscht, spring onions, wild cherries, salo (salted pork fat), and two plastic bottles of samohon (Ukrainian moonshine), all arrayed on a wooden table under a corrugated tin roof.
Vlad and Yura removed their flak jackets, helmets, and T-shirts, then rinsed off beneath a water dispenser suspended from a tree. Urging me to do the same, Yura insisted, “It’s safe here.” Ukrainian and Russian artillery thundered all around us; for the volunteers, though, the picnic area was a kind of magical oasis. Even Yura—despite his harangues about others being imprudent—seemed to have assigned supernatural properties to the tin above our heads. “This is the only place where we can sit around and have a good time,” he explained, as if that alone made it less vulnerable to ordnance.
“Oh, fuck,” a volunteer said when a mortar landed in the fields behind us.
“Where’s the mustard?” Natasha asked, ladling soup into our bowls. A kindergarten teacher, she’d been volunteering at the school since the beginning of the war. The mounting havoc seemed to faze her no more than a class of rowdy toddlers.
Yura passed out shots of samohon. After several rounds of toasts—for our health, for Ukraine, for the heroes—he told Natasha, “If it gets too hot here, I’m not asking you—we’re putting you in the fucking van and leaving.”
Natasha laughed. ‚ÄúI don‚Äôt think my parents would appreciate that. I also have a sister here, you know, and my father-in-law.¬Ý.¬Ý.¬Ý. I can‚Äôt leave them.‚Äù
“We’ll put them in the van, too.”
“Eat some salo,” Natasha scolded.
A few shots later, Yura divulged that, in his twenties, he’d been a “driver and bodyguard” for a “boss” who oversaw the “shaking down” of retail businesses. I was unsure how much credence to give this—Natasha chided Yura for “telling fairy tales”—but, whether or not the story was true, it underscored a deeper mystery. Why was he doing what he was doing? What drove Yura to repeatedly take risks that nobody else would take, in a city that was not his, for people he did not know—or even, it seemed, like?
Nor were his grievances limited to the “old fools” of R.T.I. His contempt for politicians and for the Ukrainian state writ large was so vehement that I sometimes wondered what prevented him from favoring Russia. Certainly, other Ukrainians in the Donbas felt a degree of allegiance toward their occupying neighbor. While Russian soldiers directed artillery from rearward positions, many frontline fighters were said to be local separatists; among the civilians who refused to leave Lysychansk, there were probably some who believed that Russian authority would improve their circumstances.
The recent paucity of aid had only reinforced a long-standing sentiment of alienation from Kyiv and from the West. The U.S. had furnished about a billion dollars in humanitarian assistance to Ukraine, but very little of it had reached Severodonetsk, Lysychansk, or other frontline cities and towns in the Donbas where relief was most desperately needed. Western aid organizations, which have grown increasingly risk-averse since the global war on terror, were unwilling to operate in combat zones; at the same time, although local relief groups already existed in every corner of Ukraine, including the Donbas, few could satisfy the onerous compliance protocols and administrative criteria required to receive U.S. funding (for instance, the submission of detailed budgets and project proposals in English). Further complicating matters was a bureaucratic imperative for “neutrality” that proscribed U.S. humanitarian assistance for entities that collaborated with the armed forces (even though U.S. military assistance equipped those forces). The ban was a deal breaker for most Ukrainian nonprofits, whose ultimate objective was to win the war.
It was doubtful whether any of these explanations would have comforted Yura, let alone the starving pensioners in R.T.I. Most people I met in Lysychansk had reasonably concluded that they had been abandoned because they didn’t matter—or mattered less than their wealthier, better educated, and more Westernized compatriots in Kyiv. After a slug of samohon, Yura said, “I will tell you one thing. Our government forgot about the people here.”
Yet disillusionment with the government was by no means synonymous with sympathy for the invaders. A government is not a country, and Russia’s denial of Ukraine’s right to exist had made patriots of some citizens who otherwise might never have identified as such. When Yura had finally escaped from Severodonetsk, he’d brought just a few possessions with him: Ben, a twenty-litre cannister of gasoline, and a Ukrainian flag.
On June 6th, Zelensky had proclaimed that the physical devastation of Severodonetsk and Lysychansk had rendered them “dead cities.” The comment seemed preëmptive—an attempt to downplay the benefit to Russia of acquiring such wastelands. Their capture, however, would give Russia nearly all of Luhansk Province and a strong strategic platform from which to press onward into what remained of Donetsk. Control of the entire Donbas would, in turn, create an extensive occupied region contiguous with the southern cities that Russia had seized earlier in the war—Kherson, Melitopol, and Mariupol—and also with Crimea, the peninsula that it annexed in 2014. This valuable block of territory would invest Putin with considerable diplomatic leverage in a geopolitical context.
Ukraine is among the world’s leading producers of grain, corn, and sunflower oil, but in the Donbas, which is particularly fecund, Russia has sabotaged or commandeered much of the agricultural industry, burning fields, shelling silos and storage depots, and impeding harvests. In the south, meanwhile, it has blockaded the Black Sea, preventing the shipment of millions of tons of stockpiled wheat and barley. The drastic curtailment of Ukrainian food exports has instigated a hunger crisis on a much vaster scale than the one in R.T.I. Hundreds of millions of people depend on Ukrainian staples, mostly in developing countries that were already struggling with food insecurity, on account of high prices linked to the pandemic and drought linked to climate change. In Somalia, which receives nearly all its wheat from Ukraine, at least a million and a half children now face acute malnutrition. Mass starvation also looms in Sudan, Ethiopia, Yemen, and elsewhere.
For Russia, the more catastrophic the global consequences of its invasion the better. While sharing a stage with Putin at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum last month, the editor-in-chief of RT explained, “Once the famine begins, they will come to their senses, lift their sanctions, and be friends with us, because they’ll realize that doing otherwise is impossible.”
In addition to sanctions relief, Putin may also seek—using the threat of famine and the immigration surge that it could unleash—European support for a negotiated settlement that recognizes and secures his gains in the Donbas. There is little reason to believe, however, that any such agreement would appease him, and every reason to fear that he would exploit the opportunity to refit his military before resuming the pursuit of his broader ambitions. Every week on state-sponsored television in Russia, Kremlin surrogates advocate expanding the conflict not only to the rest of Ukraine but also to Poland, Lithuania, and other nearby countries. At the outset of the Battle of the Donbas, a high-ranking Russian general remarked that the land bridge to Crimea was necessary to facilitate a future invasion of Moldova. Russian belligerence has reached such a fervor that the chairman of the Duma recently raised the prospect of taking back Alaska. On July 7th, Putin delivered an address to parliamentary leaders in which he stated, “Everyone should know that, by and large, we haven’t started anything yet in earnest.”
There was a notable escalation in shelling in Lysychansk on Russia Day. A number of new craters littered the road from Bakhmut. Our plan was to return one final time to R.T.I. The woman who’d lost her arm at the rubber plant had told us that she wanted to evacuate, and we had agreed to take her to the firehouse. Shortly after we passed through the city center and approached the river, however, an ongoing barrage and white smoke rising from the roadsides forced us to turn around. I never saw the woman again.
At the school, we found Natasha talking to a man who wanted to arrange an evacuation for his ailing neighbor.
“She’s having trouble,” the man said. “She can’t even bring her water up the stairs.”
Natasha wrote down the woman’s address in a notebook. “O.K., I’ve got it. Volunteers will take her as soon as possible.”
“Our yard is covered with debris—a missile landed there.”
“Tell her to prepare her bags.”
“She needs to persuade her husband to leave first. He’s being difficult.”
Most of the elderly who’d been sheltering in the basement were still there. An eighty-year-old woman named Alla told me that her sixty-year-old daughter, Victoria, was stranded in Severodonetsk. “If only I could know that she was alive,” Alla said, explaining why she couldn’t leave. Others were reconciled to accepting whatever might come next. Some, after so much time in the basement, seemed to have become attached to a false sense of security, and I wondered to what extent their reluctance to evacuate was a more general dread of confronting the loud reality up there in the light.
At the end of one row of mattresses, a couple sat beside a wick burning in a lid of oil. Tatyana and Gennady had been married for three decades. Gennady had worked in a factory that manufactured acid-resistant pipes. Because he’d been exposed to hazardous toxins, the company had permitted him to retire early. The interruption of his pension payments at the beginning of the war had left the couple destitute, and in March a rocket had immolated their home.
While Tatyana spoke with me, Gennady prepared their dinner. His beard was gray; his unbuttoned shirt hung open, and a cross pendant rested on his bare chest. Among the rations they had procured were a few spring onions, a bit of fresh dill, and some beans and pasta, with which he planned to make a soup.
“He’s the better cook, especially in these conditions,” Tatyana said.
In the faint light of their improvised candle, Gennady carefully chopped the dill and the onions. Tatyana watched him. There was a serene, domestic quality to the scene that felt as enchanted as Natasha’s picnic area: an eddy of calm, however chimerical, carved out of mayhem. You could almost forget how the world above was changing.
Shortly after 11 p.m. that night, back in Bakhmut, I was jolted from bed by what sounded like an airplane colliding into the hotel. The electricity went out. I dived to the floor. A second impact was even louder. Then there came a third and a fourth. Bits of ceiling sprinkled down, and I braced for the roof and the two stories above mine to follow. Close shelling always induces a burst of animal fright, but this was different. It’s one thing to face an indiscriminate bombardment; it’s another to find yourself—or believe that you have found yourself—at the terminus of a warhead’s deliberate trajectory. We tend to think of artillery combat as remote and impersonal, but when you are on the receiving end of a strike it doesn’t feel like that. It feels as intimate and vicious as any other way of killing. For me, curled up in a ball, trying to cover as much of myself as possible, the sensation was one of naked, defenseless exposure, like a snail in the shadow of a boot coming down.
After the fourth blast, I felt my way through the dark corridor to a flight of stairs that accessed the basement. My translator did the same, as did the photographer for this article. We stayed down there until dawn, then went to survey the damage. To my surprise, the hotel hadn’t actually been hit—the house across the street had. Firefighters battled flames leaping from the ruins.
“We need the ladder!”
“More hose!”
Amid the heaps of ash, splintered lumber, and downed trees lay a scrap of twisted green metal, several feet in length. I later sent a photograph of it to a weapons expert, who said that it looked like part of an air-launched cruise missile.
The house had been empty. Around the corner, though, three other munitions had detonated outside apartment complexes. A long projectile was lodged in the middle of an intersection, and a deep hole had been punched into a residential courtyard. Numerous buildings were riddled with shrapnel and charred from fire, their roofs caving in, their balconies smashed, their doors blown off. Whatever trees still stood had been stripped by the shock waves; lush green foliage thickly carpeted the pavement. Somehow, nobody had been seriously injured. People were already cleaning up. Two men moved heavy branches that had fallen beside a contorted swing set in a playground. Women swept away the glass; one of them wore a vibrant tie-dyed dress that contrasted startlingly with the grim surroundings.
“We’ve been liberated!” she said, throwing up her hands.
“Fuck, what a night,” another woman mumbled.
The windows around the courtyard had shattered, leaving empty wooden frames within which tenants could be seen sifting through their disarrayed apartments. There was no wailing or invective. No tears. They applied themselves to the task before them with sober, communal dedication.
They knew, by now, that no help was coming.
Leaving the courtyard, we found Yura walking up the sidewalk with Ben. Though he cracked a joke about Putin’s having sent us a gift for Russia Day, he looked uncharacteristically shaken. He was debating whether to go to Lysychansk, where he was supposed to evacuate several people from Natasha’s list.
“Do you think it’s a bad idea?” he asked.
I told him that we had decided to leave the Donbas, which seemed to heighten his ambivalence. Before we said goodbye, I asked him what he planned to do.
Yura smiled. He knew that I knew what he would say.
Ten days later, the Ukrainian government ordered a full withdrawal from Severodonetsk. Shortly afterward, Russian troops crossed the Siverskyi Donets River, just south of R.T.I. On July 2nd, Ukraine surrendered Lysychansk. “Continuing the city’s defense would lead to fatal consequences,” the general staff of the armed forces said, in a statement. “In order to save the lives of Ukrainian defenders, the decision to leave was made.” That afternoon, Russian soldiers filmed themselves in front of the rubble of the Lysychansk City Council, waving a Soviet flag. Not to be outdone, Chechen fighters recorded a video from the same spot, in which they cried, “Allahu Akbar!” Other clips posted to social media showed some residents celebrating the arrival of Ukrainian separatists.
After I last saw Yura, he continued returning to Lysychansk, right up until a few days before it fell. As Russian soldiers were entering the city, Vlad, the d.j., barely managed to escape, in an ambulance carrying a wounded man and a pregnant woman. His grandparents, Tatyana and Ivan, decided to stay. So did Natasha, her family, and the other volunteers from the school. After I returned home, I was unable to reach the pediatrician and the gynecologist from the maternity clinic, who had presumably failed to leave in time. Most of the firefighters, including Viktor, also remained.
What will happen to them? In other occupied areas, Ukrainian men have been abducted, tortured, and executed. Ukrainian women and girls have been raped, beaten, and sexually enslaved. Ukrainian children have been deported to Russia, where, the Ukrainian government alleges, forced adoptions are planned. Of course, the fall of Lysychansk has also afforded those who are stuck there a significant reprieve: now that Russian forces rule the city, they are no longer bombing it. Zelensky, however, has vowed to recover both Lysychansk and Severodonetsk, which for their residents could prove more horrific than anything they have survived so far. Russian troops have perpetrated some of their most heinous atrocities while defending population centers against Ukrainian efforts to liberate them. In the suburbs of Kyiv, paranoia about informants and target spotters contributed to the rampant slaughter of civilians.
For now, such a counter-offensive does not seem forthcoming. The moment the Russians took control of Lysychansk, they turned their deadly attention to points farther west. Quiet places became loud. On July 3rd, the mayor of Sloviansk, forty miles away, reported that the worst shelling in his city since the beginning of the war had resulted in widespread fires and half a dozen civilian deaths. Kramatorsk, whose train station had been targeted by Russian cluster munitions in April, also came under attack. On July 10th, Russian rockets brought down an apartment block outside Bakhmut, killing thirty-one tenants.
In recent weeks, the High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems supplied by the U.S. have begun to have an impact. According to Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense, the weapons have destroyed more than thirty Russian military facilities, including ammunition depots, many of them in the Donbas. As Ukraine focusses on debilitating Russian logistics, however, Russia has escalated its attacks on civilian targets hundreds of miles from any fighting. On June 27th, a Russian anti-ship missile killed twenty-one shoppers at a busy mall in Kremenchuk; on July 1st, at least as many people died in a similar strike on a residential building and a recreation center near Odesa; and on July 14th cruise missiles hit offices and a medical clinic in Vinnytsia, killing two dozen and injuring well over a hundred.
Russian ordnance also landed on Dnipro, where Yura was visiting his wife. (His stepdaughter had gone on to Kyiv.) In a text, he assured me that he was ‚Äúdetermined to go back to the front.‚Äù Once again, I wondered why. Then Yura sent me a group photograph from our lunch with Natasha and the other volunteers, at the picnic area in Lysychansk. He‚Äôd had ‚Äúno contact‚Äù with any of them since the city had fallen. The picture was taken by Natasha‚Äôs son seconds after an artillery round had whistled by close enough to make us curse and duck. Everyone is laughing. Yura clasps Natasha‚Äôs hand. A volunteer hugs Ben. You can see in their flushed, happy faces the illusion of invincibility conjured by samohon and friendship. ‚ÄúGood people,‚Äù Yura wrote.¬Ý‚ô¶ | https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/08/01/the-desperate-lives-inside-ukraines-dead-cities | 2022-07-23T10:38:10Z | https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/08/01/the-desperate-lives-inside-ukraines-dead-cities | false | 1 |
Soki Wu’s food stall, tucked in a food court in a shopping mall in Singapore, is a crowd favorite for its fresh, juicy “chicken rice,” a national dish. But customers recently began complaining that his chicken didn’t taste quite as good as it used to.
Wu was forced to switch to frozen chicken after Malaysia banned exports last month of live broiler chickens that are more affordable and better tasting in a bid to offset rising local prices. For Singapore, which sources a third of its poultry from Malaysia, the impact was immediate.
“This is unavoidable. Using frozen chickens have affected the taste of the dish, but we have no choice,” Wu said.
As inflation surges around the world, politicians are scrambling for ways to keep food affordable as people increasingly protest the soaring cost of living. One knee-jerk response has been food export bans aimed at protecting domestic prices and supplies as a growing number of governments in developing nations try to show a nervous public that their needs will be met.
For business owners, the rising cost of cooking ingredients — from oil to chicken — has prompted them to raise prices, with people paying 10% to 20% more at Wu’s food stall. For consumers, it has meant paying more for the same or lesser-quality food or curbing certain habits altogether.
In Lebanon, where endemic corruption and political stalemate has crippled the economy, the U.N. World Food Program is increasingly providing people with cash assistance to buy food, particularly after a devastating 2020 port blast that destroyed massive grain silos. Constant power cuts and high fuel prices for generators limit what people can buy because they can’t rely on freezers and refrigerators to store perishables.
Tracy Saliba, a single mother of two and business owner in Beirut, says she used to spend around a quarter of her earnings on food. These days, half her income goes to feeding her family as the currency loses strength amid soaring prices.
“I’m not buying (groceries) like I used to,” Saliba said. “I’m just getting the necessary items and food, like day by day.”
Food prices have risen by nearly 14% this year in emerging markets and by over 7% in advanced economies, according to Capital Economics. In countries where people spend at least a third or more of their incomes on food, any sharp increase in prices can lead to crisis.
Capital Economics forecasts that households in developed markets will spend an extra $7 billion a month on food and beverages this year and much of next year due to inflation.
The pain is being felt unevenly, with 2.3 billion people going severely or moderately hungry last year, according to a global report by the World Food Program and four other U.N. agencies.
Food prices accounted for about 60% of last year’s increase in inflation in the Middle East and North Africa, with the exception of oil-producing Gulf countries. The situation is particularly dire for Sudan, where inflation is expected to hit 245% this year, and Iran, where prices spiked as much as 300% for chicken, eggs and milk in May, sparking panic and scattered protests.
In Somalia, where 2.7 million people cannot meet their daily food requirements and where children are dying of malnutrition, sugar is a source of energy. In May, a kilogram (2.2 pounds) of sugar cost about the equivalent of 72 cents in Mogadishu, the capital. A month later, it had shot up to $1.28 a kilogram.
“In my home, I serve tea (with sugar) three times a day, but from now on, I have to reduce it drastically to only making it when guests arrive,” said Asli Abdulkadir, a Somali housewife and mother of four.
People there are bracing for even higher costs after India announced it would cap sugar exports this year. Even if that doesn’t reduce India’s sugar exports compared with previous years, news of the restriction was enough to cause speculation among traders like Ahmed Farah in Mogadishu.
“The cost of sugar is expected to surge since Somalia counts heavily on the white sugar exported from India and a few brown sugars from Brazil,” he said.
Food export restrictions aimed at protecting domestic supplies and capping inflation is one reason for the rising cost of food.
Food prices had been steadily climbing worldwide because of drought, supply chain issues, and high energy and fertilizer costs. The U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization says food commodity prices were up 23% last year.
Russia’s war in Ukraine further sent the price of wheat and cooking oils up, fueling a global food crisis. There was a breakthrough this week to create safe corridors for Black Sea shipments, but Ukrainian ports have been blocked from exporting these key goods for months and it will take time to get them moving again to vulnerable countries worldwide.
There’s concern that the impact of all these factors will lead more countries to resort to food export bans, which are felt globally. When Indonesia blocked the export of palm oil for a month in April, palm oil prices spiked by at least 200%.
Analysts say food export bans are shortsighted because they have a domino effect of driving up prices.
“I would say that roughly 80% of the bans we see are ill-advised — a kind-of, sort-of gut reaction by certain politicians,” said David Laborde, who is credited with creating a food trade policy tracker at the International Food Policy Research Institute.
“In the world where you will be the only one to do it, that can make sense,” he said. “But in a world where other countries can also do it, actually that’s far from being a good idea.”
Laborde said bans are “a very selfish policy … because you try to get better by making things worse for others.”
The list of food export restrictions Laborde has been tracking since the COVID-19 pandemic is long and changes constantly. Examples of their impact include Kazakhstan’s restrictions on grains and oil on prices in Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Afghanistan; Cameroon’s rice export restriction on Chad; and Tunisia’s fruit and vegetable restrictions on Libya.
In Singapore, 29-year-old Wu is hopeful he can keep the family business running as Singapore’s government signed off on Indonesia as a new chicken supplier.
“Things will get better,” he said. “(This) will only make us more resilient.”

Now that the parts from the aerial gondola from the Galsterberg Ski Area in Austria have been packed and shipped, it’ll be like a giant jigsaw puzzle to put back together again when it arrives in Juneau in mid-September.
Also, there’s much yet to be decided — and due to the complexity of the installation process, the gondola probably won’t be operational until 2024. Dave Scanlan, manager of Eaglecrest Ski Area, calls it “the most transformative project for Eaglecrest” since it opened in 1977.
In the meantime, other improvements at the Eaglecrest Ski Area continue.

SHAH ALAM: A woman, said to resemble Zalina Shaharah Azman who was spotted in Sentul, Kuala Lumpur, is not the former TV newsreader who has been missing since Nov 20 last year, said Shah Alam district police chief ACP Mohd Iqbal Ibrahim.
He said identification checks on the woman through thumbprints, found she was not the missing person being sought.
“The woman was taken to the National Registration Department at Shah Alam UTC and the result as well as identification by family members showed she is not the person we are looking for,” he said in a statement here today.
He said, the woman had no identification documents with her when she was found.
Yesterday, police were alerted that a woman resembling Zalina Shaharah was spotted at Jalan Haji Salleh, Sentul at 6pm.
Mohd Iqbal said the police welcomed information from the public in the search for missing persons and any further information could be channeled to assistant investigating officer Sergeant Sabturia at 016-3375269.
Earlier, Mohd Iqbal was reported as saying, police believed Zalina Shaharah was still in the country as checks with the authorities indicated that the woman has not left the country.
Her disappearance was realised by her son Mikhael Norman, 33, after he failed to contact her since Nov 24, 2021, to inform that his grandfather had been admitted to a hospital. — Bernama | https://www.thesundaily.my/home/another-zalina-lookalike-spotted-nrd-thumbprint-scan-says-negative-CD9489631 | 2022-07-23T10:48:44Z | https://www.thesundaily.my/home/another-zalina-lookalike-spotted-nrd-thumbprint-scan-says-negative-CD9489631 | false | 2 |
Lake Havasu City is home to a lot of retirees, so it seems relevant to point out that more and more of us are seeking part-time jobs — or “side hustles” — for a little extra pocket money, or simply to make ends meet.
A new study investigated search trends for popular retirement side jobs to find out which is the most popular in each state. They also analyzed the hourly and yearly pay for each job.
In Arizona, the most popular solution is “real estate agent” (average of $19.21 per hour). Not surprising, since the market appears to be so lucrative.
Still, right behind that is the national-favorite “bus driver” ($17.34), followed by “copywriter,” which is the highest-paying job ($21.89). In the top 10, but at the bottom (No. 10) is “substitute teacher” at an average of $13.01 per hour / $29,924 per year.
That said, substitute teaching can be a pretty rewarding gig, and Lake Havasu Unified certainly has a need for them. At LHUSD, the daily rate for substitute teachers is $115 (that’s about $14.38 an hour, assuming it’s an 8 hour work day), or $165 a day for long-term subs. If that sounds like something that interests you, consider applying at the district’s website: lhusd.org/substitutes. | https://www.havasunews.com/opinion/what-s-your-side-hustle/article_3308871a-0a4d-11ed-9782-5f28a9ca9a9e.html | 2022-07-23T10:52:54Z | https://www.havasunews.com/opinion/what-s-your-side-hustle/article_3308871a-0a4d-11ed-9782-5f28a9ca9a9e.html | true | 1 |

WRAPUP 6-Ukraine says Russian missiles hit Odesa, dealing blow to grain export deal
Under the deal, Ukrainian officials would guide ships through safe channels across mined waters to three ports, including Odesa, where they would be loaded with grain. Moscow has denied responsibility for the crisis, blaming Western sanctions for slowing its own food and fertiliser exports and Ukraine for mining the approaches to its Black Sea ports.
- Country:
- Ukraine
Russian missiles hit infrastructure in Odesa in southern Ukraine on Saturday, the Ukrainian military said, dealing a blow to a deal signed on Friday to unblock grain exports from Black Sea ports.
The landmark deal signed by Moscow and Kyiv on Friday is seen as crucial to reining in global food prices and would allow certain exports to be shipped from Black Sea ports, including the hub of Odesa. "The enemy attacked the Odesa sea trade port with Kalibr cruise missiles," Ukraine's Operational Command South wrote on the Telegram messaging app. Two missiles hit infrastructure at the port, while another two were shot down by air defence forces, it said.
Ukraine's foreign ministry called on the United Nations and Turkey, which mediated Friday's deal, to ensure that Russia fulfils its commitments and allows free passage in the grain corridor. Russia's defence ministry did not immediately reply to a Reuters' request for comment.
A blockade of Ukrainian ports by Russia's Black Sea fleet since Moscow's Feb. 24 invasion of its neighbour has trapped tens of millions of tonnes of grain and stranded many ships. This has worsened global supply chain bottlenecks and, along with Western sanctions on Russia, stoked food and energy price inflation. Friday's export deal seeks to avert famine among tens of millions of people in poorer nations by injecting more wheat, sunflower oil, fertilizer, and other products into world markets including for humanitarian needs, partly at lower prices.
Senior U.N. officials, briefing reporters on Friday, said the deal was expected to be fully operational in a few weeks and would restore grain shipments from the three reopened ports to pre-war levels of 5 million tonnes a month. Under the deal, Ukrainian officials would guide ships through safe channels across mined waters to three ports, including Odesa, where they would be loaded with grain.

Man's body is found after 21-year-old went missing in water near Clacton Pier as heatwave death toll rises to 16
- A man's body was recovered from the coastal village of Jaywick in Essex early on Saturday morning
- It comes just days after 21-year-old went missing in water at Clacton Pier on Tuesday this week
- Five people had to be rescued from the area after a 'serious incident' saw a current drag them underwater
- Temperatures are expected to rise beyond 26C (77F) in south on Saturday with heavy rain in Northern Ireland
The UK's balmy week of weather looks set to continue this weekend with much of the country bathed in pleasant summer sunshine while parts of Northern Ireland and Scotland are expected to be lashed with heavy rain.
Temperatures could soar above 27C (80.6F) in parts of the south east on Saturday, while across the north west and Scotland are battered by outbreaks of showers throughout the day.
Although conditions are set to be dry, warm and bright across the south and south east, parts of the north and west should prepare for wind and wet weather.
It comes as a man's body was recovered in a coastal village on Saturday just days after a 21-year-old went missing in water amid Britain's record-setting temperatures.
Four men and a woman were pulled ashore near Clacton Pier, Essex, and rushed to Colchester Hospital after a 'serious incident' on Tuesday but the 21-year-old man remained unaccounted for.
Helicopters, coastguard and police were all scrambled to search for the missing man, who was last seen four days ago, after it was reported a current appeared to have 'dragged' a group of people under the pier's structure.
Formal identification has not yet taken place, police said, adding that they are 'liaising with international partners to contact the family of the 21-year-old'. The tragic discovery takes the UK's heatwave death toll since July 9 to at least 16.
Four men and a woman were pulled ashore near Clacton Pier, Essex, (pictured) and rushed to Colchester Hospital after a 'serious incident' on Tuesday but the 21-year-old man remained unaccounted for
Helicopters, coastguard and police were all scrambled to search for the missing man, who was last seen four days ago, after it was reported a current appeared to have 'dragged' a group of people under the pier's structure
A statement released by Essex Police on Saturday said: 'Emergency services involved in the search for a man who was last seen in the water close to Clacton Pier have this AM located a body of a man in Jaywick.
'Formal ID has not yet taken place. We're liaising with international partners to contact the family of the 21-year-old.'
Nigel Brown, communications manager for Clacton Pier, had earlier told reporters a current is understood to have caused the group to be 'dragged' under the structure.
Staff threw lifebuoys over the side of the pier to help rescue those who had got into difficulty in the water, he added.
Whilst the outlook improves for the weekend, with temperatures expected to rise beyond 25C (75F) in the south on Saturday, more heavy rain is expected to fall in Northern Ireland, before spreading to western Scotland.
An area of high pressure is then expected to bring more warm and sunny weather across parts of East Anglia and the South-East on Sunday, with temperatures possibly reaching 30C (86F).
It continues an extraordinary week of weather that saw the UK record a new all-time high of 40.3C (104.5F) at Coningsby in Lincolnshire on Tuesday, beating the previous record set in Cambridge in 2019 of 38.7C (101.7F).
Temperatures already plummeted after the extraordinary high temperatures, which saw wildfires break out while blazes east of London destroyed 41 homes.
UK temperatures broke the 40C barrier for the first time on Tuesday, July 19, smashing the previous record of 38.7C recorded in Cambridge's Botanical Gardens in 2019.
Multiple people have lost their lives while swimming in the hot temperatures, including a 70-year-old man on the Isle of Wight on Monday.
On the same day, a Wiltshire man in his 20s died at Cotswold Water Park, Ashton Keynes. He was pulled from the water but pronounced dead at the scene shortly after 6pm.
A 14-year-old boy lost his life swimming in the Thames near to Richmond, and on July 19 five people had to be rescued from the Clacton Pier area after a 'serious' incident.
Haydn Griffiths, 23, went missing while swimming in the Mersey during the heatwave on Tuesday July 19
Police and rescue services searched the water where Haydn went missing on Tuesday and Wednesday (July 19 and 20) before finally having to call off the search
Two other youngsters have also lost their lives in the past week, a 16-year-old boy who died in Lake Bray in Maidenhead, and a 13-year-old boy who died following an incident in the River Tyne.
The news comes as it was suggested a man who went missing in the River Mersey on the hottest day in UK history was stung by a jellyfish.
Haydn Griffiths, 23, was last seen swimming towards wind turbines with a friend in New Brighton, Merseyside around 10:30pm.
Eyewitnesses claim he disappeared in the water and 'never resurfaced', as a huge search was launched by the Coastguard and lifeboat volunteers but was called off around 5pm the following day.
Megan Griffiths, Haydn's older sister, struck a defiant tone and says she believes her brother was stung by a jellyfish and went into shock before his disappearance.
She said: 'He got stung by a jellyfish, which Maria [who Haydn was swimming with] said he got sent into a shock and got cramp in both of his legs.
'Maybe he washed onto a remote beach and is too injured to find help.
'Maybe he's still out at sea, hanging onto a buoy. Haydn is so strong.
'The RNLI coastguard have been incredible and the search party have been amazing.
'This is the most important search in the whole wide world as my incredible baby brother is out there.
'He is the strongest human I've ever met and I know he's out there fighting.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11041647/Mans-body-21-year-old-went-missing-water-near-Clacton-Pier.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | 2022-07-23T11:14:17Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11041647/Mans-body-21-year-old-went-missing-water-near-Clacton-Pier.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | true | 2 |

Joet Gonzalez and Issac Dogboe are set to square off on Saturday, July 23, for the WBO International featherweight title. The bout will take place at the Grand Casino in Hinckley, Minnesota. The two fighters are the main event on a two-fight card that is set to start at 10 p.m ET. Gonzalez and Dogboe will walk to the ring at approximately 11:30 pm ET.
Gonzalez (25-2) is coming off a win in his last fight against Jeo Santisima, where he won the WBO Strap. He was 23-0 before losing to Shakur Stevens in 2019. Gonzalez has rebounded to win twice since then, with one additional loss. With a win, Gonzalez could have a chance at the WBO World Title in the coming months.
Dogboe (23-2) enters Saturday’s contest riding a three-fight winning streak. He hasn’t been in the ring since November 2021, so there could be some rust when fight time comes around. In his last fight, Dogboe defeated Christopher to win the NABO Featherweight championship. Similar to Gonzalez, he hopes to have a chance at the WBO world title with a win.

Onigiri (Japanese Rice Balls)
Rice shaped in triangles or balls filled with your favorite ingredients. Common fillings are pickled plums or salmon but just about anything salty will work and plain is also very tasty. A yummy alternative to the American sandwich and a staple for any bento (Japanese boxed lunch). Store in the refrigerator.

Directions
Cook's Notes:
Sushi rice can be used instead of jasmine rice if desired. Salt can be replaced with garlic salt, seasoned salt, or a mix of Chinese five-spice powder with salt.
If adding a filling, gently push on the rice ball in step 3 to create a small pocket for the filling.
It's important to shape rice while still warm otherwise it won't stick as well. This takes lots of practice and patience so don't be discouraged if you don't get it right the first time.
Nori is commonly used in sushi and can be found in most grocery stores or Asian markets. I usually cut into strips with scissors. Nori has a distinctly fishy smell and taste so if you don't like fish or sushi I would recommend not adding it. | https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/246471/onigiri-japanese-rice-balls/ | 2022-07-23T11:41:45Z | https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/246471/onigiri-japanese-rice-balls/ | false | 1 |
WWE NXT’s Sofia Cromwell is now known as Maxxine Dupri of WWE SmackDown.
This week’s SmackDown from Boston saw Maxxine make her main roster debut as the Director of Talent for Max Dupri’s Maximum Male Models agency, which currently features ma.cé and mån.sôör (Mace and Mansoor).
Maxxine was featured in a backstage segment with ma.cé and mån.sôör, but no sign of her storyline brother Max. She noted that her brother Max has good taste, which we will see next Friday when she presents the 2022 SummerSlam Beachwear Collection from Maximum Male Models. Maxxine then said summer is hot but Maximum Male Models beats the heat by continuing to titillate the juices of your guilty pleasures, which is the signature line Max has been using for a few weeks now.
While Max was still being advertised for the SmackDown segment as of 8pm ET, it was revealed earlier in the evening that he was not backstage at the TD Garden in Boston. There’s no word yet on Max was not at SmackDown, but Maxxine’s promo indicated that he is still involved with the storyline.
Cromwell, real name Sydney Zmrzel, was signed after her performance at the WWE tryouts held during SummerSlam Week back in 2021. She cheered for the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams and the NBA’s Phoenix Suns before coming to WWE. She also owns her own clothing brand, Jaunty, and has done some acting and modeling work.
The wrestler now known as Maxxine Dupri never got the chance to wrestle a match for NXT. She was most recently working in a stable with Mr. Stone and Von Wagner. Wagner recently brawled with Solo Sikoa in a segment filmed at WWE SmackDown in Orlando, and both are expected to be called up to the main roster soon. Stone was tossed into a dumpster during a recent brawl segment with Solo, and it was speculated, but not confirmed, that this dumpster spot was how WWE planned to write Stone out of the NXT storylines. Maxxine last appeared on NXT 2.0 during this past Tuesday’s episode.
There’s no word yet on if Maxxine will be wrestling on the main roster, or what’s next for Maximum Male Models, but we will keep you updated.

MAQUOKETA, Iowa — Three family members were shot to death while camping in a state park in eastern Iowa Friday, and the suspected gunman died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said.
Officers responded to reports of the shooting at the Maquoketa Caves State Park Campground before 6:30 a.m. Friday, the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation said in a statement. Officers found three people fatally shot in a tent at the campground, division assistant director Mitch Mortvedt said.
The three victims were related, Mortvedt said. Later Friday, the Iowa Department of Public Safety identified them as Tyler Schmidt, 42, Sarah Schmidt, 42, and Lulu Schmidt, 6, all of Cedar Falls, Iowa.
Mortvedt didn't provide a motive for the killings.
Officials immediately evacuated everyone from the park, a children's summer camp on the grounds and the campground. Once the evacuation was complete, the only registered camper not accounted for was 23-year-old Anthony Sherwin, Mortvedt said.
“He was known to be armed. That of course heightened our awareness as well,” Mortvedt said. Iowa allows people with permits to carry firearms virtually anywhere in the state. Officials did not say if Sherwin had a permit.
Using a plane to help search the area, law enforcement later found Sherwin dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in a wooded area of the park. Sherwin came from Nebraska, and investigators don't believe he had any prior relationship with the victims, Mortvedt said.
Mortvedt said he could not say whether Sherwin had a criminal record. A search of online court records in Nebraska and Iowa did not produce any record of prior criminal behavior.
Autopsies on Sherwin and the victims were scheduled to be performed over the weekend, Mortvedt said, and more information would likely be released based on those findings.
The park, which remained closed Friday, is about 50 miles east of Cedar Rapids. | https://www.10tv.com/article/news/nation-world/iowa-state-park-shooting-maquoketa-caves-state-park-campground/507-d6bdc106-038b-43e6-ba73-a62cba6658cb | 2022-07-23T11:43:37Z | https://www.10tv.com/article/news/nation-world/iowa-state-park-shooting-maquoketa-caves-state-park-campground/507-d6bdc106-038b-43e6-ba73-a62cba6658cb | true | 19 |

One of the main actresses of the new generation of Hollywood, Ana de Armas faces very different roles in two Netflix films much anticipated by the public. In blonde, scheduled to premiere on September 22, she plays Marilyn Monroe (1926-1962), in a performance so strong that experts point out that the Oscar for best actress in 2023 is already hers. Before that, however, the Cuban arrives on the platform as an action hero in hidden agentwhich will be released this Friday (22).
In an event to publicize the film to the press, of which the Tangerine participated, Ana de Armas explained the reasons that led her to accept the invitation of the brothers Joe and Anthony Russo to play the agent Dani Miranda, a woman who doesn’t take any insults home. “My schedule wasn’t that busy at the time,” she joked, drawing laughter from her co-stars.
“No, seriously now. There were many things. I was really excited that the Russos thought of me and I accepted it as soon as they introduced me to this character and this story. I love the character, who this woman is, her whole background, the training she’s received, her mindset and how badass and fearless she is.”
In the feature, Dani enters the scene to help the protagonist, Court Gentry (Ryan Gosling), a CIA employee who was once a highly skilled mercenary and who is recruited by the mysterious Donald Fitzroy (Billy Bob Thornton) for missions no one else would want to do. But he finds himself hunted around the world by Lloyd Hansen (Chris Evans), a former member of the CIA who will stop at nothing to bring him down.
To bring this girl power agent to life, Ana de Armas was trained by Craig “Chili” Palmer, a former Delta Force soldier who lived through situations very similar to those of the fictional characters. “I was very lucky to be able to count on him to develop that part of the mentality and physicality. Learn to shoot, carry the weight of all these weapons and still be able to run, you know? I ran like a chicken at first, with the heavy vest, I couldn’t move, crouch, none of that,” she recalled.
“The pre-production process was really fun because I could see it getting better (laughs). Thank God! But I also needed to go through this to understand the psychological side of it all. Because at the end of the day, you’re on a mission, risking your life. There are all those people in the office to support you, but you are the one who has to make the decisions in the heat of the moment. So, having an ex-CIA agent with me was very useful”, said Ana de Armas.
The experience, she assures, was very different from the one she had lived as a bond girl in 007 – No Time to Die (2021). “I had already done the woman in high heels who remains beautiful even while kicking ass. And that’s okay, that’s how it goes in those movies. But Hidden Agent brings a freshness, the focus is another. I’m not Ryan Gosling’s love interest. It’s important to put women in action movies with that vision, to accentuate that they can be badass too, you know?” she teased.
The cast also includes Regé-Jean Page (Bridgerton), Jessica Henwick (Game of Thrones), Dhanush (3), Alfre Woodard (Luke Cage) and Brazilian Wagner Moura (Elite Squad) – who repeats with Ana de Armas the partnership of the movie Sergio (2020). The plot is based on the book The Gray Man by Mark Greaney. Check out the Hidden Agent trailer:

Collingwood mourn club legend Billy Picken
Collingwood team of the century player Billy Picken has died, aged 66.
The Magpies great, who played 212 matches for the club after debuting in 1974, was a two-time EW Copeland Trophy winner and All-Australian in 1983.
Renowned for his high-marking, the defender's career spanned 11 seasons.
News of Picken's death was doubly sad for the Magpies, with the AFL club also mourning the death of another ex-player in Con Britt.
Recruited from the Ballarat Football League before debuting in 1966, Britt played 110 games for the Magpies before he was forced into retirement at just 26 by a knee injury in 1973.
"Billy was a spectacular player, a dashing defender who could take a big grab and a player who performed extraordinarily in finals matches," Magpies president Jeff Browne said in a statement.
"Soon after making his debut, Billy became a fan favourite with many Collingwood supporters wearing the number 25 on the back of their Black and White jumpers and duffle coats.
"He will be remembered as one of the best-ever players to represent the Collingwood Football Club and one of the greatest centre half backs of his generation.
"Con Britt was a skilful player who spent most of his career across the half forward line and along the wing. He was fast and strong with his attack on the football impressing Collingwood supporters."
The Magpies will wear black armbands in honour of both players in their match against Essendon at the MCG to be played on Sunday. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-11041719/Collingwood-mourn-club-legend-Billy-Picken.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-07-23T11:52:17Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-11041719/Collingwood-mourn-club-legend-Billy-Picken.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false | 4 |

Russian missiles hit Ukraine's Black Sea port of Odesa hours after Moscow and Kyiv signed deals to allow grain exports to resume from there. The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry denounced Saturday's strike as “spit in the face” of Turkey and the United Nations, which brokered the agreements.
Two Russian Kalibr cruise missiles hit the port's infrastructure and Ukrainian air defenses brought down two others, the Ukrainian military’s Southern Command said. It didn't specify the damage or say whether the strike caused casualties.
“It took less than 24 hours for Russia to launch a missile attack on Odesa’s port, breaking its promises and undermining its commitments before the U.N. and Turkey under the Istanbul agreement,” Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Oleg Nikolenko said. “In case of non-fulfillment, Russia will bear full responsibility for a global food crisis.”
Nikolenko described the missile strike on the 150th day of Russia’s war in Ukraine as Russian President Vladimir Putin's “spit in the face of U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who made great efforts to reach agreement.”
Guterres' office issued a statement saying the U.N. chief “unequivocally condemns” the strikes.
“Yesterday, all parties made clear commitments on the global stage to ensure the safe movement of Ukrainian grain and related products to global markets,” the statement said. “These products are desperately needed to address the global food crisis and ease the suffering of millions of people in need around the globe. Full implementation by the Russian Federation, Ukraine and Turkey is imperative.”
During a Friday signing ceremony in Istanbul, Guterres hailed the deals to open Ukraine's ports in Odesa, Chernomorsk and Yuzhny to commercial food exports as "a beacon of hope, a beacon of possibility, a beacon of relief in a world that needs it more than ever.”
U.S. & World
The agreements were intended to clear the way for the shipment of millions of tons of Ukrainian grain and some Russian exports of grain and fertilizer held up by the war. Ukraine is one of the world’s largest exporters of wheat, corn and sunflower oil, but Russia’s invasion of the country and naval blockade of its ports halted shipments.
Documents obtained by The Associated Press showed the deals called for a U.N.-led joint coordination center in Istanbul where officials from Ukraine, Russia, Turkey would oversee the scheduling and searches of cargo ships.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in his nightly video address that the agreements offered “a chance to prevent a global catastrophe – a famine that could lead to political chaos in many countries of the world, in particular in the countries that help us.”
The head of Zelenskyy's office, Andriy Yermak, said on Twitter that the Odesa strike coming so soon after the endorsement of the Black Sea ports deal illustrated "the Russian diplomatic dichotomy.”
Along with the strike on Odesa, Russia's military fired a barrage of missiles Saturday at an airfield and a railway facility in central Ukraine, killing at least three people, while Ukrainian forces launched rocket strikes on river crossings in a Russian-occupied southern region.
The attacks on key infrastructure marked new attempts by the warring parties to tip the scales of the grinding conflict in their favor.
In Ukraine's central Kirovohradska region, 13 Russian missiles struck an airfield and a railway facility. Gov. Andriy Raikovych said that at least one serviceman and two guards were killed. The regional administration reported the strikes near the city of Kirovohrad, wounded another 13 people.
In the southern Kherson region, which Russian troops seized early in the invasion, Ukrainian forces preparing for a potential counteroffensive fired rockets at Dnieper River crossings to try to disrupt supplies to the Russians.
Despite the progress on that front, fighting raged unabated in eastern Ukraine's industrial heartland of the Donbas, where Russian forces tried to make new gains in the face of stiff Ukrainian resistance.
Russian troops also have faced Ukrainian counterattacks but largely held their ground in the Kherson region just north of the Crimean Peninsula, which Russia annexed in 2014.
Earlier this week, the Ukrainians bombarded the Antonivskyi Bridge across the Dnieper River using the U.S.-supplied High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, Kirill Stremousov, deputy head of the Russia-appointed regional administration in Kherson, said.
Stremousov told Russian state news agency Tass that the only other crossing of the Dnieper, the dam of the Kakhovka hydroelectric plant, also came under attack from rockets launched with the weapons supplied by Washington but wasn't damaged.
HIMARS, which fires GPS-guided rockets at targets 80 kilometers (50 miles) away, a distance that puts it out of reach of most Russian artillery systems, has significantly bolstered the Ukrainian strike capability.
In addition, Ukrainian forces shelled an automobile bridge across the Inhulets River in the village of Darivka, Stremousov told Tass. He said the bridge just east of the regional capital of Kherson sustained seven hits but remained open to traffic.
Stremousov saod that unlike the Antonivskyi Bridge, the small bridge in Darivka has no strategic value.
Since April, the Kremlin has concentrated on capturing the Donbas, a mostly Russian-speaking region of eastern Ukraine where pro-Russia separatists have proclaimed independence.
However, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov emphasized Wednesday that Moscow plans to retain control of other areas its forces occupy during the war.

PARIS (AP) — The family of a French backpacker who went missing in Egypt nearly a year ago used the Egyptian president’s visit to Paris on Friday to press for an investigation into the 27-year-old traveler’s disappearance.
Family members and friends raised placards asking, “Where is Yann Bourdon, President Sissi?” — hoping to catch the eye of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi before his meeting with French President Emmaunel Macron. But French police scooped them up from a sidewalk and led them away for identity checks before el-Sissi’s motorcade zoomed past.
Macron’s office wouldn’t say if the French leader spoke specifically about Bourdon to el-Sissi. But it said Macron raises individual cases in his dealings with the Egyptian president.
Bourdon’s family and friends haven’t heard from him since August 2021. His last email to his sister was casual, positive, like others the French graduate student sent on his yearlong backpacking journey. He wrote from Cairo: “I’ll get back to you soon. Give everyone a hug from me. Let me know how Grandpa’s doing.”
Nearly a year later, they’re desperate for news and any sign his disappearance is being investigated. Bourdon’s sister and mother said they decided to go public about the case after meeting months of silence or stonewalling from Egyptian authorities.
France’s Foreign Ministry says it’s well-versed in the dossier, and in touch with Egyptian authorities. The Egyptian Embassy in Paris didn’t respond to requests for comment from The Associated Press. Egypt’s Foreign Ministry and a government media officer also did not respond to requests for comment.
Bourdon’s mother, Isabel Leclercq, described her “great anguish and great fear that something is happening to him and we can’t help him.”
“It’s a total vacuum for us,” Wendy Bourdon, the missing man’s sister, said.
The only clue so far came from a French police investigation into Yann’s bank account, according to his sister: It was emptied soon after his last email to his family, from a Cairo cash machine.
His mother describes Yann as “a very social boy” who studied history at the Sorbonne and spoke four languages. She said he left on his journey in July 2020 “because he wanted to meet other peoples, other civilizations.”
Passionate about museums, reading and learning, he told his family about sharing a meal with Bedouins who let him pitch his tent next to theirs. “That really brought him pleasure,” his sister said.
He didn’t always have internet connections, but when he did he made contact via email. And he always sent messages for loved ones’ birthdays.
After arriving in Egypt, he messaged that “he stopped in a hostel in Cairo, and was picked up by a police officer while hitchhiking,” his sister said. “He said in his mail that he would go that day to visit the Cairo Museum, the Coptic quarter and the bazaar, and in the evening he would meet with the police officer and friends who picked him up.”
In his final message Aug. 4, “he said ‘I’ll get back to you soon.’ He did not have the intention to cut contact with us,’” his mother said.
When he missed his mom’s birthday in September, they worried but figured he was just without internet access. The family also didn’t want to raise a false alert about his absence.
But when his sister’s birthday in November came and went without a word, they contacted the French Foreign Ministry, which contacted the French Embassy in Egypt, which in turn contacted Egyptian authorities. Back in Paris, the family filed an official missing person report.
At first, Egyptian officials claimed Yann Bourdon had never been in Egypt, frustrating and baffling the family.
But the French national police confirmed he had arrived in Sharm-el-Sheikh, Egypt on July 25. They also discovered that his bank card was used at a cash machine near the Sadat subway station in Cairo to empty his account in four installments after his last email to his sister. The last withdrawal was made Aug. 7.
His family welcomed the information. “We thought, it’s good news. They have surveillance videos of the location. They know the specific time period to consult. We thought it would unblock the situation,” the sister said.
But they heard nothing.
The family traveled to Egypt in May and went with French consular officials to see the Giza prosecutor who was meant to be overseeing the investigation. He had no information about the case, the sister said.
“We suffered their questions for three hours. They asked us all the things that should have been in the dossier,” Leclercq said.
International rights groups have in recent years documented a growing number of forced disappearances by Egyptian authorities. Egypt’s 2011 popular uprising against Hosni Mubarak, Egypt’s former longtime president, grew out of demands for an end to police brutality and extrajudicial practices.
Since el-Sissi ascended to power in 2014, most of the freedoms gained after the 2011 uprising have been revoked. The government has carried out a wide-reaching crackdown on dissent, jailing thousands of people and holding many of them without a trial.
The vast majority of those detained have been Egyptian citizens, with the exception of a handful of foreign journalists who have been either held or expelled from the country. Rights groups say the total number of people gone through forced disappearances by police remains unknown.
Bourdon’s sister says the French authorities were helpful and “very invested. But they aren’t getting information either.”
The family hopes that by calling attention to the case, other clues might emerge. Faced with deafening silence from the Egyptian authorities, Leclercq is certain her son did not cease communication with family and friends of his own will.
“If Yann can hear us, wherever he is, we want to tell him that we are looking for him, that we will never stop looking for him,” she said in an interview with the AP.
Choked with emotion, she added: “That we will find him. And that we will bring him back.”

AUSTIN — Texas A&M Forest Service is opening the Austin Airtanker Base at the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport to assist with increased wildfire activity across the state Saturday, July 15.
This year’s fire activity is trending above normal for the number of fire responses and acres burned. Since Jan. 1, 2022, Texas A&M Forest Service has responded to 1,240 wildfires that burned 497,373 acres across the state.
State and local resources Monday afternoon responded to a 300-plus acre fire off Possum Kingdom Lake.
Above normal fire activity is expected to continue through the summer, as hot temperatures and dry conditions are forecast to persist for much of the state.
During periods of high fire activity, aviation resources are used to augment suppression efforts on the ground.
“This year, we have utilized aviation resources for response in areas experiencing significant wildfire activity,” said Jared Karns, Texas A&M Forest Service planning and preparedness department head. “These aircraft provide support to ground crews and assist in protecting homes as well as other critical infrastructure.”
Aviation resources have been positioned across Texas since Dec. 9, 2021, when wildfire activity started to increase. Since then, suppression aircraft have flown 4,641 hours, dropping 6,820,642 gallons of water and retardant on Texas wildfires.
Opening the airtanker base will allow for faster response times and greater cost efficiency when responding to wildfires in Texas.
“The airtanker’s speed is greater than that of a helicopter or single engine air tanker,” said George Martin, Texas A&M Forest Service air operations branch director. “These aircraft will be able to get anywhere in Texas in under one hour. Suppression aircraft can respond quickly, increasing the likelihood that a new ignition remains a small, manageable wildfire.”
Texas A&M Forest Service has 36 aircraft mobilized at 17 airports around the state for wildfire response. The Austin Airtanker Base will serve as a reload station for aircraft coming and going to wildfires and is the only airport in the state setup for a Very Large Airtanker, or DC-10.
The base is equipped to handle all aircraft in the national airtanker fleet, including those aircraft used to drop fire retardant during wildfires. The base will be manned by trained and qualified Texas A&M Forest Service, USDA Forest Service and Austin Fire Department firefighting personnel.
“Opening the Austin Airtanker Base will increase the amount of retardant we can deliver to wildfires across the state,” said Karns. “We will also be able to accommodate some of the largest suppression aircraft available. As hot and dry conditions continue this summer, the increased capability this base allows will greatly enhance our firefighting efforts.”
Texas A&M Forest Service does not own any aviation resources but instead uses federal aviation contracts through the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management for all firefighting aircraft. | https://www.weatherforddemocrat.com/news/local_news/austin-airtanker-base-activated-to-assist-with-wildfire-activity-across-the-state/article_d866865f-a7a6-5485-9b53-f1975c6fc860.html | 2022-07-23T12:28:06Z | https://www.weatherforddemocrat.com/news/local_news/austin-airtanker-base-activated-to-assist-with-wildfire-activity-across-the-state/article_d866865f-a7a6-5485-9b53-f1975c6fc860.html | true | 1 |

The Environment and Infrastructure Services Department (EISD) has warned Joburgers to immediately stop tampering with City Power infrastructure.
This comes after a disaster struck this week in Crosby, west of Johannesburg when a resident attempted to restore power to a tripped substation and was electrocuted in the process.
“Frustration is justified when faced with lengthy power outages due to failing infrastructure or cable theft, but it must never be the reason for individuals to gain access into City Power facilities and try to restore power themselves,” MMC for EISD Councillor Michael Sun said.
“It is highly dangerous and may cause more damage to the infrastructures and result in longer outages,” he said.
The Crosby substation in question tripped as a result of overloading from illegal connections to the Slovo Park informal settlement. Sun said City Power technical teams were “working around the clock to restore power to all communities experiencing outages due to technical faults, illegal connections and cable theft.”

“‘The entity is also working with JMPD to ensure that illegal connections are sustainably removed to prevent overloading on the grid.
“We are appealing for patience and for residents to work with City Power in arresting the power crisis Johannesburg is facing,” he said.
Sun said that the city’s residents should report outages immediately to City Power to allow teams to be dispatched as soon as possible.
“Moreover, when residents suspect or witness illegal connections or cable theft, they should report it immediately, too,” he said.
The city said operations to ensure cable thieves are not only arrested but face stiff jail sentences for stealing and destroying infrastructure is beginning to bear fruit.
This week, a cable thief was sentenced to 12 years in prison after being arrested for cable theft in September 2021.
“This was only possible through the determination and collaboration of local residents and the Community Policing Forum,” sergeant A Thela, City Power general manager of security said.
“City Power has several hot-lines and a WhatsApp number where residents can call the alarm on cable theft. Even if we have the smallest piece of evidence, we will be able to use this to put cable thieves behind bars where they belong,” he said.
City Power is also appealing for any information relating to the attempted theft of an entire substation’s infrastructure in Timber Street, Manufacta on Wednesday morning.
Thieves at the time could not make away with any loot but destroyed both transformer systems in the process, causing almost R1m in damages.
EISD appealed to anybody who has information that could be used in bringing these assailants to justice to contact City Power’s hot-lines. | https://www.iol.co.za/saturday-star/news/look-city-of-johannesburg-warns-residents-against-tampering-with-city-power-infrastructure-3fa0872d-03f2-4476-885c-9211c4fc6045 | 2022-07-23T12:42:09Z | https://www.iol.co.za/saturday-star/news/look-city-of-johannesburg-warns-residents-against-tampering-with-city-power-infrastructure-3fa0872d-03f2-4476-885c-9211c4fc6045 | false | 1 |
Srinagar, Jul 23 (PTI) Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha Saturday said the conservation efforts of sacred places and heritage sites must retain the aesthetic, historic and social values of the Union territory's great civilisational and cultural legacy.
Sinha chaired a meeting to review the action plan for effective implementation of the scheme for ‘Revival, Restoration, Preservation and Maintenance of Ancient Cultural Heritage' in Jammu and Kashmir. The scheme was envisaged in order to identify the sacred places and heritage sites requiring intervention, carrying out their revival, restoration or renovation work, ensuring protection and longevity of these places, besides promoting restoration wherever damage have occurred to these places. “The conservation efforts must retain the aesthetic, historic and social values of our great civilisational and cultural legacy”, the Lt Governor said.
Sinha directed the Culture Department to adopt value-based conservation with the help of experts.
The department should also ensure transparency and effective on site monitoring of the projects, he added.
Identify shrines, places having historical, cultural, religious significance and work should follow value-based methodologies and integrated approach to conservation. Take up the projects that reflect the representations of every community and every sect, he said.
While reviewing the division and category wise details of the 35 projects (18 in Jammu and 17 in Kashmir) approved by the executive committee, including Temples, Shrines, Gurudwaras, Forts, Church, Sculptures and Bowli, the Lt Governor directed the department for early start of the work on the projects already approved.
He also advised the department to put focus on developing digital library to promote intangible heritage and knowledge heritage. Stressing on the welfare measures for the local artists, the Lt Governor asked the department to make dedicated efforts for the handholding of artists. He advised the department to rope in seasoned and experienced master artists from J-K to train the young artists. Emphasising on promoting the culture of J-K among the people of other states and vice versa, the Lt Governor called for organising cultural exchange programmes of artists with other states and UTs, furthering the ‘Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat' movement. He asked the department to send proposals of some potential projects to the Centre that can be included in the existing schemes and programmes of the central government. Sinha asked the department to take up the issue with the Culture department, Government of India for speedy execution of conservation and restoration of Shergarhi in Kashmir and Mubarak Mandi in Jammu, which is the symbol of our great architectural heritage. The department was also advised to spread information regarding the places of tourists' interest in the UT through booklets at airports.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The U.S. Forest Service announced Friday it’s taking emergency action to save giant sequoias by speeding up projects that could start within weeks to clear underbrush to protect the world’s largest trees from the increasing threat of wildfires.
The move to bypass some environmental review could cut years off the normal approval process required to cut smaller trees in national forests and use intentionally lit low-intensity fires to reduce dense brush that has helped fuel raging wildfires that have killed up to 20% of all large sequoias over the past two years.
“Without urgent action, wildfires could eliminate countless more iconic giant sequoias,” Forest Service Chief Randy Moore said in a statement. “This emergency action to reduce fuels before a wildfire occurs will protect unburned giant sequoia groves from the risks of high-severity wildfires.”
The trees, the world’s largest by volume, are under threat like never before. More than a century of aggressive fire suppression has left forests choked with dense vegetation, downed logs and millions of dead trees killed by bark beetles that have fanned raging infernos intensified by drought and exacerbated by climate change.
The forest service’s announcement is among a wide range of efforts underway to save the species found only on the western slope of Sierra Nevada range in central California. Most of about 70 groves are clustered around Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks and some extend into and north of Yosemite National Park.
Sequoia National Park, which is run by the Interior Department and not subject to the emergency action, is considering a novel and controversial plan to plant sequoia seedlings where large trees have been wiped out by fire.
The Save Our Sequoias (SOS) Act, which also includes a provision to speed up environmental reviews like the forest service plan, was recently introduced by a bipartisan group of congressmen including House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy, whose district includes sequoias.
The group applauded Moore’s announcement Friday but said in a statement that more needs to be done to make it easier to thin forests.
“The Forest Service’s action today is an important step forward for Giant Sequoias, but without addressing other barriers to protecting these groves, this emergency will only continue,” the group said. “It’s time to codify this action by establishing a true comprehensive solution to fireproof every grove in California through the SOS Act and save our sequoias.”
Work planned to begin as soon as this summer in 12 groves spread across the Sequoia National Forest and Sierra National Forest in would cost $21 million to remove so-called ladder fuels made up of brush, dead wood and smaller trees that allow fires to spread upward and torch the canopies of the sequoias that can exceed 300 feet (90 meters) in height.
The plan calls for cutting smaller trees and vegetation and using prescribed fires — intentionally lit and monitored by firefighters during damp conditions — to remove the decaying needles, sticks and logs that pile up on the forest floor.
Some environmental groups have criticized forest thinning as an excuse for commercial logging.
Ara Marderosian, executive director of the Sequoia ForestKeeper group, called the announcement a “well-orchestrated PR campaign.”
He said it fails to consider how logging can exacerbate wildfires and could increase carbon emissions that will worsen the climate crisis.
“Fast-tracking thinning fails to consider that roadways and logged areas … allows wind-driven fires because of greater airflow caused by the opening in the canopy, which increases wildfire speed and intensity,” he said.
Rob York, a professor and cooperative extension specialist at forests operated by the University of California, Berkeley, said the forest service’s plan could be helpful but would require extensive followup.
“To me it represents a triage approach to deal with the urgent threat to giant sequoias,” York said in an email. “The treatments will need to be followed up with frequent prescribed fires in order to truly restore and protect the groves long-term.”
The mighty sequoia, protected by thick bark and with its foliage typically high above the flames, was once considered nearly inflammable.
The trees even thrive with occasional low intensity blazes — like ones Native Americans historically lit or allowed to burn — that clear out trees competing for sunlight and water. The heat from flames opens cones and allows seeds to spread.
But fires in recent years have shown that although the trees can live beyond 3,000 years, they are not immortal and greater action may be needed to protect them.
During a fire last year in Sequoia National Park, firefighters wrapped the most famous trees in protective foil and used flame retardant in the trees’ canopies.
Earlier this month, when fire threatened the Mariposa Grove of giant sequoias in Yosemite National Park, firefighters set up sprinklers.
Flames burned into the grove — the first wildfire to do so in more than a century — but there was no major damage. A park forest ecologist credited the controlled burns with protecting the 500 large trees. | https://www.klfy.com/science/us-takes-emergency-action-to-save-sequoias-from-wildfires/ | 2022-07-23T12:45:38Z | https://www.klfy.com/science/us-takes-emergency-action-to-save-sequoias-from-wildfires/ | true | 54 |
Sofa Vergara gets into the skin of drug trafficker Griselda Blanco
The figure of Blanco has been of interest to the big Hollywood studios for years, for example in 2019 STXfilms announced that it would shoot a film about his life entitled The Godmather and starring Jennifer López, although it is unknown when the project will be released.
Blanco participated in the founding of the Medellin cartel and acquired enormous power in the world of drug trafficking in the 1970s and early 1980s.

KYIV, Ukraine — Russian missiles hit Ukraine's Black Sea port of Odesa hours after Moscow and Kyiv signed deals to allow grain exports to resume from there. The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry denounced Saturday's strike as "spit in the face" of Turkey and the United Nations, which brokered the agreements.
Two Russian Kalibr cruise missiles hit the port's infrastructure and Ukrainian air defenses brought down two others, the Ukrainian military's Southern Command said. It didn't specify the damage or say whether the strike caused casualties.
"It took less than 24 hours for Russia to launch a missile attack on Odesa's port, breaking its promises and undermining its commitments before the U.N. and Turkey under the Istanbul agreement," Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Oleg Nikolenko said. "In case of non-fulfillment, Russia will bear full responsibility for a global food crisis."
Nikolenko described the missile strike on the 150th day of Russia's war in Ukraine as Russian President Vladimir Putin's "spit in the face of U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who made great efforts to reach agreement."
Guterres' office issued a statement saying the U.N. chief "unequivocally condemns" the strikes.
"Yesterday, all parties made clear commitments on the global stage to ensure the safe movement of Ukrainian grain and related products to global markets," the statement said. "These products are desperately needed to address the global food crisis and ease the suffering of millions of people in need around the globe. Full implementation by the Russian Federation, Ukraine and Turkey is imperative."
During a Friday signing ceremony in Istanbul, Guterres hailed the deals to open Ukraine's ports in Odesa, Chernomorsk and Yuzhny to commercial food exports as "a beacon of hope, a beacon of possibility, a beacon of relief in a world that needs it more than ever."
The agreements were intended to clear the way for the shipment of millions of tons of Ukrainian grain and some Russian exports of grain and fertilizer held up by the war. Ukraine is one of the world's largest exporters of wheat, corn and sunflower oil, but Russia's invasion of the country and naval blockade of its ports halted shipments.
Documents obtained by The Associated Press showed the deals called for a U.N.-led joint coordination center in Istanbul where officials from Ukraine, Russia, Turkey would oversee the scheduling and searches of cargo ships.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in his nightly video address that the agreements offered "a chance to prevent a global catastrophe – a famine that could lead to political chaos in many countries of the world, in particular in the countries that help us."
The head of Zelenskyy's office, Andriy Yermak, said on Twitter that the Odesa strike coming so soon after the endorsement of the Black Sea ports deal illustrated "the Russian diplomatic dichotomy."
Along with the strike on Odesa, Russia's military fired a barrage of missiles Saturday at an airfield and a railway facility in central Ukraine, killing at least three people, while Ukrainian forces launched rocket strikes on river crossings in a Russian-occupied southern region.
The attacks on key infrastructure marked new attempts by the warring parties to tip the scales of the grinding conflict in their favor.
In Ukraine's central Kirovohradska region, 13 Russian missiles struck an airfield and a railway facility. Gov. Andriy Raikovych said that at least one serviceman and two guards were killed. The regional administration reported the strikes near the city of Kirovohrad, wounded another 13 people.
In the southern Kherson region, which Russian troops seized early in the invasion, Ukrainian forces preparing for a potential counteroffensive fired rockets at Dnieper River crossings to try to disrupt supplies to the Russians.
Despite the progress on that front, fighting raged unabated in eastern Ukraine's industrial heartland of the Donbas, where Russian forces tried to make new gains in the face of stiff Ukrainian resistance.
Russian troops also have faced Ukrainian counterattacks but largely held their ground in the Kherson region just north of the Crimean Peninsula, which Russia annexed in 2014.
Earlier this week, the Ukrainians bombarded the Antonivskyi Bridge across the Dnieper River using the U.S.-supplied High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, Kirill Stremousov, deputy head of the Russia-appointed regional administration in Kherson, said.
Stremousov told Russian state news agency Tass that the only other crossing of the Dnieper, the dam of the Kakhovka hydroelectric plant, also came under attack from rockets launched with the weapons supplied by Washington but wasn't damaged.
HIMARS, which fires GPS-guided rockets at targets 80 kilometers (50 miles) away, a distance that puts it out of reach of most Russian artillery systems, has significantly bolstered the Ukrainian strike capability.
In addition, Ukrainian forces shelled an automobile bridge across the Inhulets River in the village of Darivka, Stremousov told Tass. He said the bridge just east of the regional capital of Kherson sustained seven hits but remained open to traffic.
Stremousov saod that unlike the Antonivskyi Bridge, the small bridge in Darivka has no strategic value.
Since April, the Kremlin has concentrated on capturing the Donbas, a mostly Russian-speaking region of eastern Ukraine where pro-Russia separatists have proclaimed independence.
However, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov emphasized Wednesday that Moscow plans to retain control of other areas its forces occupy during the war.

Chhattisgarh: Baghel, Deo likely to meet Cong high command amid political tussle
Chhattisgarh chief minister Bhupesh Baghel is likely to meet Congress high command in the next couple of days in Delhi to explain the political developments of the state after the resignation of minister TS Singh Deo, people familiar with the matter said on Saturday.
“The CM will be reaching Delhi on Saturday evening. He has some other meetings and can also meet Congress high command to explain recent political developments in the state,” said a close functionary of Baghel.
The fresh political turmoil in the state started on July 16 when Singh Deo resigned from the Panchayat and Rural development department, one of the five portfolios held by him in the Bhupesh Baghel cabinet. However, he will continue as the minister for Health and Family Welfare, Medical Education, Twenty Point Implementation and Commercial Tax (GST) departments.
Singh Deo, locked in a turf war with Baghel, in his resignation letter to the chief minister claimed that not a single house was built for homeless people under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana as funds were not allotted despite “repeated requests”.
In a four-page resignation letter addressed to the chief minister, Singh Deo cited various reasons saying that he was unable to fulfil the targets of the department as per the vision of the Jan Ghoshna Patra (poll manifesto), given the “current scenario”.
On Wednesday, the issue was raised by Opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the state Assembly and the House was adjourned for the day. The members of the assembly were demanding a statement from Baghel in the House over the resignation. The leaders of the BJP said there is a “constitutional crisis” since a minister (Singh Deo) himself expressed ‘no confidence’ in the government’s functioning.
On Thursday, Baghel handed over the charge of Panchayat and Rural Development department to senior minister Ravindra Chaubey.
Meanwhile, Singh Deo is also reaching Delhi on Saturday and has sought time to meet the Congress high command.
“I have asked for time and will be meeting high command if I get time,” Singh Deo said.
The tussle between Baghel and Singh Deo started in June last year over a reported power sharing agreement after the chief minister completed his two-and-a-half years in the office.
In May, 2022, Baghel and Singh Deo again locked horns over the coal mine projects in the Hasdeo Arand forest area of the Surguja district.

As audiences continue making their way back to in-person performances, Peninsula theater companies this summer have been sharing plans for fall and beyond, announcing their 2022-23 seasons and looking ahead to full seasons of shows that celebrate the experience of coming together to watch live theater. Here's what's on tap at some local companies.
TheatreWorks Silicon Valley announced its 52nd season last week. For 2022-23, the company will present six shows, including two world premieres — both developed as part of the company's New Works Initiative — and a west coast premiere, plus new spins on a couple of well-known shows.
"We really wanted to uplift community and multicultural experiences that represent the beautiful diversity of Silicon Valley and the Bay Area — to start conversations and lift voices," TheatreWorks Artistic Director Tim Bond said of the company's recently announced slate of shows for 2022-23.
The season opens in time for the holidays with a seemingly unusual pick for the "most wonderful time of the year:" "Little Shop of Horrors," (Nov. 30-Dec. 24). The campy sci-fi musical, with book and lyrics by Howard Ashman, and music by Alan Menken, was adapted for the stage from the Roger Corman film. Director Jeffrey Lo will give the show a new setting, moving the action to San Francisco's Chinatown.
"It's going to really open up our casting and create a nice local connection around the show as well as celebrate community. (Setting the show in) this cross-cultural and intersectional community of marginalized people of color is, I think, a great way to go at what the original intent was," Bond said.
"It's also one of my favorite B-movies. I'm a big sci-fi fan and I've always had a place in my heart for this piece," he added.
Four millennia worth of Passover celebrations are at the heart of "In Every Generation" by Ali Viterbi, which will make its west coast premiere Jan. 18-Feb. 12.
"(Viterbi) is looking at these Passover seders, past, present and future, so she goes from B.C. all the way into the 22nd century. It's a pretty amazing journey that she takes the audience on and asks some really deep questions," Bond said.
Bond will direct "Fannie: The Music and Life of Fannie Lou Hamer," (March 8 – April 2) a one-person musical play by Cheryl L. West about civil rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer that sees the return to TheatreWorks of actress Greta Oglesby, who starred as Aunt Ester in the 2021-22 season's production "Gem of the Ocean" and is a longtime collaborator with Bond. The show features Oglesby on stage with a band, echoing the way that Hamer traveled around and campaigned for voting rights, giving speeches but also incorporating music — and rousing the crowd to sing with her, Bond said.
"It's like a rally. It's like revival. It's a very powerful journey. And I really love how she involves the audience in the experience, so it's a very interactive, spiritually uplifting piece that is a call to action — inspiring audiences to stand up for what's right and to lift their voices and deal with what's going on yet again, which is the suppression of votes," he said.
The first of the company's two world premieres, "A Distinct Society," (April 5-30) by Kareem Fahmy is a family story inspired by a real-life place, a library located on the border between the United States and Canada that unexpectedly became a meeting place for a loved ones separated by the U.S.' "Muslim Ban," the executive order enacted in 2017 that barred people from seven predominantly Muslim countries from entering the U.S.
Bond noted that Fahmy hails from the actual Canadian border town that shares the library with a town in Vermont. With the building straddling the border, people separated by the ban could still meet in the library.
"It's a beautiful metaphor and a beautiful play about love, and family and times where politics are tearing people apart," Bond said.
Up next comes a well-loved show, "Steel Magnolias" by Robert Harling, which captures the triumphs and tribulations of a tight-knit group of women in a small Southern town (June 7-July 2) that inspired the 1989 film of the same name. The season concludes with another world premiere, "Alice Bliss," (July 12-Aug. 6) a new musical set in upstate New York about a teenager who tries to hold her family together while her father has gone to fight in the Iraq War. The show is based on the novel by Laura Harrington with book by Karen Hartman, music by Jenny Giering and lyrics by Adam Gwon.
TheatreWorks partnered with Saratoga's Montalvo Arts Center in 2021 to host a residency to help develop the show, following a similar process that works typically go through for the company's New Works Festival, though due to the pandemic, the piece ended up being developed as a stand-alone project. Though "Alice Bliss" is set 20 years ago, Bond said that its themes are likely to feel familiar.
"The uncertainty that sits in this play feels very much like the uncertainty we've been in the last two years, but it's got a very hopeful and uplifting message about family and the multicultural community that surrounds this family, helping to keep the whole family together," he said.

For its 28th season, Los Altos Stage Company earlier this summer announced a lineup of five plays and musicals for 2022-23 that draw on literary and cinematic inspirations.
The company opens its season with "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" by Simon Stephens, based on the novel by Mark Haddon (Sept. 8-Oct. 2) and marks the holidays with a musical inspired by a classic children's novel, "The Secret Garden," with music and lyrics by Marsha Norman and music by Lucy Simon (Dec. 1-23).
The new year brings actor and comedian Steve Martin's "Picasso at the Lapin Agile," envisioning an imaginary meeting between Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein (Jan. 26- Feb 19); and celebrates making the most of life with Colin Higgins' "Harold and Maude," a stage adaptation of the 1971 cult film about a friendship between a morbid teenager and a cheery octogenarian (April 13- May 7). The season concludes with "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" (June 1-25), a jukebox musical inspired by the 1994 film of the same name, with book by Stephan Elliott and Allan Scott, that chronicles a trio of friends' desert road trip trying to get to a drag performance in a remote town.

The Pear Theatre in Mountain View last month announced its 2022-23 slate of shows. The season will continue a new feature from the company's recently concluded 20th anniversary season: "Pear Pairings," with two plays running in repertory, doubling up on the stories to be shared on The Pear's stage for some productions.
The season opens with a pairing: "Collective Rage: A Play in 5 Betties" a comedy by Jen Silverman about five women named Betty who find themselves transformed as they rehearse a play, runs Sept. 9 - Oct. 2. in repertory with "Bull in a China Shop" by Bryna Turner, a comedy inspired by the real-life letters between educators and romantic partners Mary Woolley and Jeannette Marks, who sought to reform women's education in the late 19th and early 20th century.
Heading into the holidays, the Pear will stage "Frankie and Johnny in the Claire de Lune" (Dec. 1-18), Terrence McNally's thoughtful two-person play about co-workers at a restaurant who begin to explore the possibility their one-night stand could turn into more.
"Dontrell Who Kissed The Sea" by Nathan Alan Davis tells of an 18-year-old who decides to journey into the Atlantic Ocean in search of an ancestor who was lost during the Middle Passage. The show is running in repertory Feb. 3-26 with Mary Shelley's gothic horror tale "Frankenstein" in a new adaptation that emphasizes the important role of community in the story. The spring brings an important staple of the Pear season, "Pear Slices," which each year features new short plays by members of The Pear Playwrights’ Guild, April 21-May 14; and the season concludes with "Falsettos," book and lyrics by William Finn and James Lapine, music by William Finn, in a story set in late 1970s/early '80s New York about a man trying to keep his family together and maintain ties with his ex-wife and young son after he comes out as gay (June 30-July 23).

The company marks its 92nd season with a lineup of Broadway-focused shows announced this spring. The season gets underway next month with "School of Rock - The Musical" (Aug. 26-Sept. 11) based on the 2003 film of the same name about an unemployed musician who cobbles together a band of promising young musical talents while pretending to be a sub at a prep school. The show features music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, lyrics by Glenn Slater and a book by Julian Fellowes.
Setting a fairytale tone ahead of the holidays will be "Disney's Beauty and the Beast" (Nov. 4-20), based on the 1993 Disney animated film, with music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Howard Ashman and Tim Rice, and book by Linda Woolverton. To start off the new year, everything going amiss on stage means it's actually all going to plan in Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields' comedy "The Play That Goes Wrong" (Jan. 20-Feb. 5) about a theater company's disaster-prone production of a classic murder mystery.
The Players take a lighthearted cruise to Bikini Bottom with "The SpongeBob Musical" (April 28-May 14), based on the animated series by Stephen Hillenburg, with book by Kyle Jarrow and an array of original songs by an eclectic lineup of artists that includes John Legend, Sara Bareilles, The Flaming Lips, Lady A, Panic! At the Disco and They Might Be Giants.
And to wrap it all up, who doesn't love a little mystery? The company has not yet announced the show that will close the season, slated for next June.

Prince Charles and Camilla have been alleged for ‘stage managing’ their marriage as the couple ‘live separated lives’ behind closed doors.
An insider told the National Enquirer that the Duchess of Cornwall herself spilt the beans on her marriage to the Prince of Wales.
"Camilla's candor is shocking, I can't imagine what she was thinking. She and Charles have stage-managed an image of togetherness, but behind palace doors, they live separate lives and are just not that into each other,” the insider said.
"That seems to be the height of their passion these days. One has to wonder what happened to the voracious sexual appetite Camilla used to become the mistress of the future king of England,” the source continued.
“Camilla's merely confirming what many have thought for years – this marriage is a scam."
Meanwhile, Camilla recently admitted that "it's not easy sometimes" but they "do always try to have a point in the day" to meet.
"Sometimes it's like ships passing in the night, but we always sit down together and have a cup of tea and discuss the day. We have a moment," she explained. | https://www.geo.tv/latest/429383-camilla-and-prince-charles-live-separate-lives-amid-scam-marriage | 2022-07-23T13:08:11Z | https://www.geo.tv/latest/429383-camilla-and-prince-charles-live-separate-lives-amid-scam-marriage | true | 1 |
