If ever a comment with the potential to psychologically cripple a child was made, this is it.
The date was March 19, 1963. The setting was a military court in Beirut where the verdict was being read in the trial of Shulamit Cohen-Kishik for spying, treason and smuggling Jews to Israel. The verdict for her husband, Jozef, accused of assisting in the smuggling and not informing the authorities of his wife’s activities, was also being read in the courtroom.
The trial, which generated huge headlines both in Lebanon and throughout the Arab world, began in November 1962, more than a year after Shulamit’s arrest and torture. The verdict was delivered in a packed courtroom. Among those in attendance was one of her seven children, Isaac, who had not yet turned 18. For weeks he had done everything he could, left no stone unturned, to get the sentence of his parents commuted.

The judge then turned to Jozef, and sentenced him to 10 years, reduced to two years in prison because of his age and his need to support his family. Then the judge turned back to Shulamit and said that while she deserved to die, she would instead be sentenced to 20 years of hard labor for betraying the country she lived in for so many years.
“Two soldiers approach my father, Jozef, handcuff him and take him out of the hall,” Levanon wrote. “Two others approach mother, lift her from the bench and drag her from there. She is barely walking. I stand. Mother passes by me. One or two meters apart. So close, but yet so far. Mother does not bow her head. Her legs barely move, but her head is erect. She throws a piercing glance at me that transmits anger and dissatisfaction. ‘That’s all you can do, Isaac?’ she whispers to me.
“Her look rips my heart to pieces: That is what you are able to do, Isaac? What happened to all the promises, all the hopes? Why did we waste all the money? So that I sit in prison for 20 years?”
Those words, wrote the 77-year-old Levanon, who in 2011 retired from the Foreign Ministry after a career of some 40 years, echo in his mind to this day, some 60 years later.
But rather than cripple Levanon, those words motivated him and spurred him on to look after the rest of the family while his parents were in prison, and to continue working for his parents’ release.
The son of a spy
KISHIK WAS born in Argentina but moved with her parents to Israel when she was a young child. At the age of 16, a match was made between her and a wealthy Lebanese businessman who took his young bride back to Beirut to live. The couple settled, had seven children, became leading members of the Lebanese Jewish community, and developed close ties with Lebanese officials.
On the eve of the War of Independence, Shula made contact with intelligence officers of the Jewish state in the making and began passing on information. She was given a code name: “The Pearl.”
After the war Cohen-Kishik was instrumental in smuggling thousands of Jews out of Syria and Lebanon and into Israel, until it all came crashing down one horrible August day in 1961, when she was arrested and accused of treason.
Levanon chronicles his mother’s tale in his new book, In the Eye of the Storm, Clandestine Diplomacy (Hebrew). But the book does not stop with his mother’s story or how the family left Lebanon and came to Israel after she was released in an Israel-Lebanon prisoner exchange following the Six Day War.
Rather, the book then follows Levanon’s career from Arab affairs adviser to legendary Jerusalem mayor Teddy Kollek, whom he calls his mentor, to the Foreign Ministry’s cadets corps, to postings in New York, Venezuela, Paris, Montreal, Boston, Geneva and – the cherry on his diplomatic career – as ambassador to Egypt from 2009 to 2011.
The boy from the Jewish quarter in Beirut, unceremoniously kicked out of the country of his birth with the rest of his family in 1967, was dispatched 42 years later to Cairo to serve as Israel’s ambassador to the most important Arab state. Levanon wrote that the first time he saw the Israeli flag was at the Israeli Embassy in Cyprus where he flew from Lebanon on the way to be reunited with his mother following the prisoner exchange in 1967. He cried at the sight of the flag.
He said the other time he cried when seeing the flag was when he presented his credentials to Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak at a ceremony at the Presidential Palace in Cairo, as “Hatikvah” was being played.
But the postscript?
He was hurried out of Egypt in 2011 following the overthrow of Mubarak and the attack and ransacking of the Israeli Embassy in Cairo.
“Forty-four years passed between the evacuation from Egypt in 2011 and the other evacuation from Beirut in 1967,” he wrote. “Two countries to which my fate was linked and from which I knew despair. Disappointment from the country where I was born that threw me out of its borders, and from the other country [Egypt] that I thought lived in true peace with my country, Israel, I was forced to leave in a hurry.”
Levanon, in an interview, spoke of that day in the Lebanese military court almost 60 years ago.
“I can see it to this day,” he said. “My mother had expectations of me [getting her released], but she forgot that I was not even 18.”
Levanon said his mother’s words were painful, “but I did not take them as an insult; rather, they motivated me to continue to work for her release, which I did.”
After her release from prison and exile from Lebanon, Cohen-Kishik lived another 50 years in Jerusalem, until 2017, just two months shy of her 100th birthday.
Levanon said he never spoke of that incident in the courtroom with his mother, saying that life intervened with its own dynamic, and that this was not something he wanted to dwell on. But he acknowledged that it is something that he has carried with him ever since. How could it not be? Indeed, this is the story with which he opens his book.
He closes the book, however, with this line: “Throughout [my] journey I experienced hopes and disappointments, pride and deep despair, but one wish, a kind of prayer, always accompanied me: I will not disappoint my loved ones.”
The roots of that wish were obviously planted in that Beirut courtroom in 1963 when his mother expressed her disappointment as she was being led to prison.
THROUGHOUT THE book, Levanon referenced his Beirut beginnings at different stages of his life, such as when he went to work as an adviser on east Jerusalem affairs for Kollek, or when he passed the Foreign Ministry’s tests and was accepted into its highly competitive cadet course. Like so many immigrants, on several occasions when he achieved something notable he noted how far he had come in his newly adopted country.
But Levanon said this sense of accomplishment he felt as an immigrant was not the same, for instance, as the sense of accomplishment an immigrant from a Western country may have after making aliyah.
“This is not the story of a new immigrant, from, say, the US,” he said. “Lebanon is hostile to Israel. I was a Beirut kid from the Jewish neighborhood. It was enemy territory. There was fear. I was afraid as a Jew living in Lebanon.
“When they arrested my mother, I was afraid. My good friends left me. I was, in my mind, weak and begging people to help my mother. I was in an inferior position vis-à-vis other people. I did not feel like a proud Lebanese. I was afraid.
“In Cairo [as ambassador] I realized Isaac is not the little frightened boy from Lebanon anymore; Isaac doesn’t go begging for help. Isaac represents a sovereign independent state, just the way that his mother wanted. I am standing in Mubarak’s palace, ‘Hatikvah’ is playing, and I am standing there not as a frightened little boy, but as a proud man representing a sovereign and independent Jewish state. That is the difference between heaven and earth. That is the change that came over me.”
Itzhak Levanon
“Israel changed that for me,” he wrote. “In Cairo [as ambassador] I realized Isaac is not the little frightened boy from Lebanon anymore; Isaac doesn’t go begging for help. Isaac represents a sovereign independent state, just the way that his mother wanted. I am standing in Mubarak’s palace, ‘Hatikvah’ is playing, and I am standing there not as a frightened little boy, but as a proud man representing a sovereign and independent Jewish state. That is the difference between heaven and earth. That is the change that came over me.”
Levanon’s tale is that of an astounding transformation undergone by one individual. It is also representative of a similar transformation that an entire people has undergone since the creation of the state.
BUT WHY take on the name Levanon? he is asked. Why, when in his new land, did he adopt the name of the country that tormented his parents, that made him feel afraid, and that spit him out, as well as the Jewish community, which at its peak numbered some 14,000 people?
“I took this name because it is a biblical one,” he said, quoting from Psalms 92:13, “k’erez ba’Levanon yisgeh” (thrive like a cedar in Lebanon). “The name alludes to the mountains of Lebanon, not only the state – it is more ancient and biblical than that.”
Levanon said that although he was angry at the state where he was born, he still felt a small connection to it, and that since the name of the state is “phonetically pleasing and biblically based,” he felt it would make a good fit.
And how did his parents feel about the name change? “My father, who was conservative, said that one does not change names, and my mother was with him. They didn’t, however, object.”
The name change, he said, was his own decision, not something forced upon him in the late ’60s and early ’70s as a requirement for government service.
Ironically, when he first came to the country, there were more questions about the first name he went by – Isaac – than his last one. He signed letters from Kollek’s office using the name Isaac, rather than Yitzhak, something that drew the attention of the director-general of the municipality at the time.
“The director-general called me in and asked why I signed my name Isaac, not Yitzhak,” Levanon recalled. “I told him that if he would call my parents’ home and ask for Yitzhak, they would say it was a mistake.” The director-general said that he should go by the name Yitzhak, “because Isaac is Ashkenazi, and Yitzhak is Sephardi.”
Levanon said that this was the first time he became aware of an Ashkenazi-Sephardi rift, a rift that was very pronounced in the country in the late ’60s and early ’70s.
“He asked me if I was one of us (ehad mishelanu),” Levanon said. “I naively said that, yes, I work with the municipality.” What he really wanted to know was whether Levanon was “pure Sephardi.”
Levanon said this was a wake-up call, a somewhat rude introduction to the country. The Lebanese Jewish community was predominantly Sephardi, as was his family, but there were also Ashkenazim and an Ashkenazi minyan.
“I was never aware of the differences before I came here,” he said. “We never lived or spoke about it in Beirut; both communities took part in each other’s minyanim. Then I came here and was told there are Jews like this, and like that. I asked my father about this, and he dismissed me with a wave of his hand, saying ‘We are all Jews.’”
IN ISRAEL’S security branches and Foreign Service, Levanon represents a disappearing generation of officials who were born and raised in Arab states, moved to Israel, and brought with them an innate understanding of the language, culture, mentality and mores of their home countries – something that enormously benefited Israel.
Levanon said that his ability to interact with Egyptian officials, including Mubarak, in unaccented Arabic, with a knowledge of all the cultural cues, helped him a great deal when he served there, an advantage that other ambassadors who were not born and raised in an Arab country did not enjoy.
“Something has happened in our state that was to be expected, but nobody took it into account,” he said. “From the establishment of the state until the 1980s, immigrants came from the Arab countries, and we used them in all different areas – in the Mossad, in the diplomatic service. We took good advantage of their knowledge of the language, the culture, the jokes, the mores – and all of that was very helpful.
“That generation is dying off,” he continued, “and we did not succeed in building up a new generation. You could have developed it. You teach certain candidates, you send them to live a year or two in an Arab country, and you take them to the Arab villages here. You train them. I don’t think we have done enough of this.”
Levanon is among that passing generation. It is unlikely there will ever be another Lebanese-born Israeli diplomat serving as ambassador to a powerful Arab country, and bringing an innate knowledge of the Arabic language and culture and mentality to that post. The days when Israel could use the expertise of Jews who grew up in Arab countries to help it understand and deal with the Arab world are coming to an end. The ability to tap into and rely on that level of expertise is something the country may, sadly, come to truly appreciate only once it’s gone. ■ | https://www.jpost.com/aliyah/article-712620 | 2022-07-23T13:08:42Z | https://www.jpost.com/aliyah/article-712620 | false | 1 |
Only 93,000 of the 154,000 existing workforce have been paid so far
Labour health and disability spokesperson Duncan Smith has said that the Department of Health must emerge from the shadows, take responsibility and pay tens of thousands of frontline health workers still waiting on a pandemic recognition payment.
Deputy Smith said:
"The fact that the Department of Health has not paid the pandemic recognition payment to a single Section 39 worker, contract cleaner, caterer, member of security staff, workers in private nursing homes or even public health workers not employed by the HSE, like Dublin Fire Brigade paramedics is beyond insulting.
"I have been dealing with Public Health Nurses all over the country who are still awaiting payment also.”
"The HSE has made it clear to unions from day one that the circular that gives effect to the decision to pay non-HSE staff lies squarely with the Department of Health and the Minister.
"The longer they shirk their responsibilities, the longer these workers will be left high and dry during the worst cost of living crisis in our lifetime. These workers made enormous personal sacrifices. They risked their health to keep us safe.
"They truly went above and beyond the call of duty and this needs to be recognised."
“It is beyond time for the Department of Health who are responsible for paying the tens of thousands of Section 39 workers, cleaners, caterers, security staff, workers in private nursing homes or Dublin Fire Brigade, to emerge from the shadows, take responsibility and settling this long standing commitment to recognise their contribution.
"Only 93,000 of the 154,000 existing workforce have been paid so far. After 4 months of stalling there is a very long way to go make this right.”

Comic-Con audiences got a sneak peek at the new “Lord of the Rings” series “The Rings of Power” Friday in San Diego. Amazon Studios unveiled a new trailer for the show, set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Hobbit” and “The Lord of the Rings.” Stephen Colbert, a self-proclaimed Tolkien fan, was also on hand to moderate a panel teasing the series on the fan convention’s biggest stage, Hall H.
Under the leadership of showrunners and executive producers J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay, “Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” focuses on Tolkien’s Second Age of Middle-earth, when kingdoms are forming and falling and evil forces loom and threaten to cover the world in darkness.
“The Rings of Power” will take audiences to fantastical locations like the Elven realms of Lindon and Eregion, the Dwarven realm Khazad-dûm, the Southlands, the Northernmost Wastes, the Sundering Seas, and the island kingdom of Númenór and introduce them to a large ensemble, including Galadriel (Morfydd Clark), Elrond (Robert Aramayo) and High King Gil-galad (Benjamin Walker).
The eight-part series will debut on Prime Video on Sept. 2, with new episodes arriving weekly. It is said to be the most expensive ever made, with a reported budget of $465 million. Amazon bought the rights from the Tolkien estate for $250 million in 2017.
Jennifer Salke, the head of Amazon Studios, told The Hollywood Reporter last year that while the number is a “crazy headline that’s fun to click on,” “that is really building the infrastructure of what will sustain the whole series” which she called a “huge, world-building show.”
Salke also said that a “giant, global audience needs to show up to it as appointment television” but that they were “pretty confident that will happen.”
The fan convention kicked off this week at the San Diego Convention Center, back in full force for the first time since 2019, with many studios spending big dollars to promote upcoming films and television shows. Comic-Con runs through Sunday. | https://www.abc27.com/news/entertainment/lord-of-the-rings-series-trailer-debuts-at-comic-con/ | 2022-07-23T13:12:46Z | https://www.abc27.com/news/entertainment/lord-of-the-rings-series-trailer-debuts-at-comic-con/ | true | 28 |

Does Russell Westbrook have a future in the NBA after the Lakers?
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Los Angeles LakersLiveTodayTomorrowvs--|
- Russell WestbrookLiveTodayTomorrowvs--|
There is no doubt that Russell Westbrook has been one of the NBA’s best players over the past dozen years and that he’ll be a first-ballot Hall of Famer after he retires.
Averaging a triple-double for an entire season is remarkable enough, especially against the type of modern-day defenses Oscar Robertson never had to deal with. But Westbrook did so four times in a span of five years, something which will likely never happen again.
But his value has dropped precipitously over the past year after his frustrating season with the Los Angeles Lakers, and it seems like he is now viewed around the NBA as an anchor who will take a good team down with him.
The Lakers have been trying to trade him for months, and any team that would acquire him would reportedly waive him shortly afterward.
In fact, there is doubt as to whether any team would pick him up afterward.
Via Lakers Daily:
“NBA insider Tim Bontemps apparently believes that Westbrook could be out of the league after his time with the Lakers comes to an end.”
On the latest Windhorst pod, some things they said about Russ:
Bontemps: "He might be out of the league after the Lakers"
McMahon: "Dallas said hell no when asked about signing Russ….he can play for the Ducks in China"
Windy: "Market is really dry for Russ"
— L.A.B (@laughsNball) July 22, 2022
In reality, Westbrook is not nearly as bad a player as he is currently perceived. But having the type of season he just had, where the Lakers went from title contenders to not even reaching the play-in tournament, can tarnish the value of a player. | https://sports.yahoo.com/does-russell-westbrook-future-nba-015859103.html?src=rss | 2022-07-23T13:34:18Z | https://sports.yahoo.com/does-russell-westbrook-future-nba-015859103.html?src=rss | false | 2 |

WATCH: Alabama QB Jalen Milroe looks jacked in workout video
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Bryce YoungAmerican football quarterback
Alabama backup quarterback Jalen Milroe put the college football world on notice with his spectacular play in Alabama’s annual A-Day game back in April.
His performance left fans and analysts wondering how Alabama could let him ride the pine despite the return of Heisman Trophy winner, Bryce Young. I mean, there has to be a way for Alabama offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien to come up with some sort of package that includes the incredibly gifted Milroe.
Milroe has now added to his impressiveness. A video of the redshirt freshman quarterback in the weight room has surfaced and the second-year player hasn’t waisted anytime there.
Milroe looks more like a linebacker than a quarterback if you ask me.

Will our children grow up being scared of summer?
This week I watched an international newscast and saw what looked like most of the planet — the Americas, Africa, Europe, Asia — painted in bright, blaring orange and reds, like the Burning Bush. Fahrenheit temperatures in three-digit numbers seemed to blaze all over on the world map.
Heat records have burst around the globe. This very weekend, crops are burning, roads are buckling and seas are rising, while lakes and reservoirs recede, or even disappear. Ice sheets melt in rising heat, and wildfires blitz forests.
People are dying in this onerous heat. Lives of all kinds are threatened, in cities, fields, seas, deserts, jungles and tundra. Wildlife, farm animals, insects and human beings are in distress.
The U.N.'s World Meteorological Organization says there is more lethal heat in our future because of climate change caused by our species on this planet. Even with advances in wind, solar and other alternative energy sources, and international pledges and accords, the world still derives about 80% of its energy from fossil fuels, like oil, gas and coal, which release the carbon dioxide that's warmed the climate to the current temperatures of this scalding summer.
The WMO's chief, Petteri Taalas, said this week, "In the future these kinds of heatwaves are going to be normal."
The most alarming word in his forecast might be: "normal."
I'm of a generation that thought of summer as a sunny time for children. I think of long days spent outdoors without worry, playing games or just meandering. John Updike wrote in his poem, "June":
The sun is rich
And gladly pays
In golden hours,
Silver days,
And long green weeks
That never end.
School's out. The time
Is ours to spend.
There's Little League,
Hopscotch, the creek,
And, after supper,
Hide-and-seek.
The live-long light
Is like a dream...
But now that bright, "live-long light," of which Updike wrote, might look menacing in a summer like this.
In blistering weeks such as we see this year, and may for years to come, you wonder if our failures to care for the planet given to us will make our children look forward to summer, or dread another season of heat.

Cooperative sector in Kerala faces trust deficit, 399 institutions report financial fraud
Thrissur district topped the list with 66 cooperative institutions being allegedly involved in financial malpractices in the past six years.
Published: 23rd July 2022 01:06 PM | Last Updated: 23rd July 2022 01:06 PM | A+A A-
KOZHIKODE: Being controlled by political leadership, the cooperative sector in the state has been rocked repeatedly by financial irregularities running into crores of rupees. In the last six years, a total 399 cooperative banks and societies across the state have reported financial fraud betraying the public trust in the sector.
Thrissur district, where the massive loan fraud was reported in Karuvannur Cooperative Bank recently, topped the list with 66 cooperative institutions being allegedly involved in financial malpractices in the past six years. In Malappuram district, fraudulent activities were reported in 55 institutions, followed by Thiruvanthapuram (49). Palakkad district remained at the bottom with only three institutions reporting financial fraud cases.
Cooperation Minister V N Vasavan revealed the data in reply to a query raised by Kasaragod MLA N A Nellikkunnu in the assembly on Monday. The fraud included sanctioning loans without following government norms, sanctioning loans against receipts of fake fixed deposits, illegal appointment of staff, malpractice in calculating interest on deposits, releasing loan amounts without security, gold loan scam, mismatch in the stock kept in Neethi medical stores, irregularities in auctioning of bank properties, looting money, sanctioning loans against property beyond the bank's limit, mismanagement of funds allotted by the government and illegally allowing reduction in loan repayment.
The minister further said cases have been registered under Sections 65 and 66 of the Kerala Cooperative Act in all cases and the probe is on. In addition, the police probe is also undergoing in some cases registered under IPC sections. Efforts are also on to collect the money from the offenders to compensate the losses suffered by the institutions due to the fraud, the minister added.
To yet another question, the minister said 164 cooperative institutions across the state have failed to refund deposits to customers even after their maturity period. To address the concerns of depositors, the government has ensured a security amount of `2 lakh for each deposit under the Kerala Cooperative Deposit Guarantee Scheme. Further, the government is taking steps to hike the amount to `5 lakh, the minister added.

Fruit Dip with Cream Cheese
A sweet companion to your favorite fresh fruit.
A sweet companion to your favorite fresh fruit.
I made this for a party and it was a hit! I doubled up the recipe but only used one jar of the marshmallow creme, and it turned out GREAT! Don't let the low number of reiews fool you on this dip. I highly recommned it.
Read Moreit came out well but I guess I am just not a huge fan of marshmallow fluff. Next time I will add coffee or chocolate liquor.

I made this recipe this weekend for a family get-together and wanted to contribute a couple of ideas on changing up the flavor. You could use strawberry or pineapple cream cheese instead of plain - I LOVE strawberry cream cheese with this. Or another idea is to put in about 1/2 t of any fruity-flavored extract (I used banana and it was AWESOME, but you could also use raspberry, strawberry, cherry, etc.) to the original recipe. Not only does it taste delicious, but it smells SO GOOD. Also, a note on using the electric mixer... I only have a stand mixer and I didn't want to dirty the whole bowl just for this, so I mixed by hand. I noticed that you could feel the texture of the sugar crystals, even though it was powdered sugar. I would definitely recommend using a mixer.
This dip was so yummy! I made it to serve with apple slices, and it was delicious! I used Neufchatel cheese instead of cream cheese to make it a bit healthier, and omitted the powdered sugar, because the dip was definitely sweet enough without it! Thanks for such a quick and tasty recipe; I will be making it often!
I've been asked for this recipe at least six times, since serving it on Independence day, this year. It's sinfully easy, to make - and tastes very luxurious, rich, and creamy. It's like "800 threadcount Egyptian sheets" for your tastebuds. Great recipe!!!
Easy and Quick!! This is the only way my kids will eat fruit!!
This is great dip. I served it at a birthday party and everybody liked it and commented on it. It went well with grapes, strawberries, bananas, apples and even cantaloupe!
Very good, very easy. Served at wedding with fruit plates. Doubled the batch, served 150 guests and they licked it clean. Could have used another batch or two I guess.
LOVE this dip! We have been making it for years, and it really doesn't get any better. We make it exactly as is, and no one is ever disappointed...try it and you wont be either~YUM! :)
So easy and delicious! Especially great with apples, grapes and bananas. Or you could just eat it with a spoon. :-) Yum-O!
This is outstanding: simple ingredients, easy to make and delicious flavor. I got many compliments on this and would definitely make this again. I served it at our book club meeting with a fruit salad of oranges, grapes, strawberries and cantaloupe.
I made this for Superbowl and used light (not fat free) cream cheese. Everyone loved it and ask for the recipe. I will make it again.
I prepared this recipe just as described. It was wonderful! I have three little girls and they dipped every piece of fruit I could find. The adults enjoyed it just as much. Thank you so much for a super easy and very delicious dip.
This is awesome! My whole family loves it and it is so very simple to whip up. My three boys could not stop eating it and went through a whole batch in one afternoon!
I have been making this dip for years. Always a big hit at parties. Only difference is that I use 2 tubs of strawberry cream cheese and 1 large jar of marshmallow creme. I don't add the sugar or lemon juice either. Turns our perfect! Great to serve all year, especially when you have berries or grapes that are not in season...it adds the perfect sweetness to otherwise tart fruit.
Delicious! This was sooo tasty. It tasted like a really sweet cheesecake filling.
it came out well but I guess I am just not a huge fan of marshmallow fluff. Next time I will add coffee or chocolate liquor.
This recipe is good. Just good. I like to make it and dip strawberries in it. I call it my strawberry dip. To make it taste not so plain. Instead of buying regular cream cheese to put in it, buy the strawberry cream cheese, or whatever flavor you like. Don't be afraid to mix it up. You won't believe the results and how differant it makes it taste.
We regularly make this in the summer when we have people over. It's always popular.
I made this dip for a bridal shower and it was great! Not too sweet and light and fluffy. I used fat free marshmellow cream and 1/3 fat cream cheese. Still tasted great with any fruit!
Made this yesterday, but omitted the lemon juice. Very yummy! It is a bit sticky, I'd like to try another recipe that maybe is more fluffy. However, still very delicious! Served ours with apples, strawberries, and grapes.
just looked this up and made it in less than 5 min. Had fluff in the cupboard. It's was the big plastic size, but only had about 7 oz left (eyeball measuring), so I added the cream cheese and the confectionery sugar and use the wand blended to mix right in the fluff container. I'm leaving the extra in there to take with me. Didn't have any lemon, but it's perfect. I thought it would be okay, but it's really good. Thank you!
great dip! works very well with apples, have made this twice and everyone loved it!
Grocery store was out of plain cream cheese (?!?) Substituted chocolate cream cheese and served with apples and strawberries. YUM!
I fixed this for my new inlaws at my first family brunch and it was a huge hit. They all now fix it at every occasion. Thanks this was my in with the new family.
I just made this and it is delicious. I added a little extra lemon but I think it would be just as wonderful as is. Thank you for sharing your recipe.
I halved this recipe but kept the 1/8tsp lemon juice. Sweet with a little bit of tartness. I served this dip with fresh pineapple chunks and whole strawberries. The only thing I might try next time is to add some red food coloring to make it pink and therefore stand out a little better on the table.
This was perfect! I hoped to take the easy way out and buy a pre-made fruit dip (time crunch!) but couldn't find any at the store I went to (??) Looked this up on my phone, knew I had the ingredients at home, and whipped it up, exactly as written - the teen girls I served it to LOVED it! Served with GS apples, red grapes, strawberries and pineapple chunks. Thanks so much!
Wow! This stuff was great and the hit of the party! The lemon juice makes sure that the dip isn't too sweet. Definitely on my list to make again!
Delicious! Easy and quick to make! Will definately make this again.
I thought this was going to be way to sugary sweet.. but with the lemon juice added, it was PERFECT. I dont think I'll ever eat fruit or bagels plain again!
I made this for the kids at my church and they LOVED it! *I have to admit it was very yummy myself!* Thanks for a great recipe.
Loved this. I doubled the recipe (based on other reviews), but did not double the marshmallow creme. It was perfect and delicious. Lemon gave it just a hint of flavor. Wait. . .you're supposed to serve this with fruit? I thought you just ate it out of the bowl
Yummy! A great dip for apples for sure. I had half a jar so halved the recipe. It was gone in a flash.
I made this for a party! Everybody loved it, big hit. Now any time there is a function of any kind this is first on the list! Everybody ask for the recipe.
Wow, this is yummy!!!!! I left out the confectioner's sugar, it's sweet enough without it.
Everything about this dip is yummy just as is. I have added a couple of tablespoons of marmalade or apricot preserves to pretty it up a little.
I make this dip for every birthday party my kids have. It's easy and delicious. I recommend using strawberry cream cheese.
No need for changes.. this is perfect as is. Served with some fresh fruit and an excellent EASY side dish or appetizer.
I made it to go with a fruit tray for a Women's Bible Study. Everyone loved it, especially me!
It was very tasty but kind of heavy. Next time I'll try a recipe with cool whip so it will be lighter.
Disappointed, tasted like Fluff, didn't add sugar, it was already overly sweet. I make another dip with instant pudding, yogurt and cool whip.
Wish I could give this recipe more than five stars! It is perfect! I followed the recipe exactly and it tastes amazing! Perfect for all kinds of fruit.
Easy, taste amazing the Mother’s Day celebration gave it two thumbs up ?? will keep in my go to recipe folder
Wonderful! My family devours this dip every time I make it. I have made it with and without lemon juice and it is a hit either way.
Such a simple, easy recipe, but sooooo good. My only complaint would be mixing marshmellow fluff, not that easy, so sticky. I used 1/2 strawberry and 1/2 pineapple cream cheese. This makes a very large portion so save room for the fruit.
Delicious and easy. Added a tad more lemon juice to thin it a bit. Tastes very much like creamy cheesecake

Leaders of Suame Magazine have apologised for the attack on the Suame Member of Parliament, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, during a protest over the uncompleted Suame-Maakro road on Monday.
The leaders at the auto parts enclave have also distanced themselves from the incident, in which the MP was jeered at and pelted with some items.
Speaking on Eyewitness News, Anthony Oppong, the Ashanti Regional President of the Ghana Union of Traders said: “There is an allegation going around in town that we the leaders of Suame Magazine were behind the attack on the honourable MP, and what we are saying is that we are not behind the attack and there was no meeting or no planned thing to do something of that sort.”
Following the apology, Mr. Oppong said his cohorts plan to apologise to the MP in person.
“We've communicated to the MCE of Suame to arrange a meeting where we will have the opportunity to personally apologise to him.”
Mr. Oppong maintains that the confusion on the day was a “matter of communication” on the state of the uncompleted road that sparked the protest.
He had already met the regional highway director and was aware of the resource constraints that had delayed the project .
“He gave me a full assurance that on Monday, the day that the incident happened, they were coming back to the road because it was a lack of bitumen that was delaying the job.”

Disney changes name of 'fairy godmothers' to gender-neutral 'apprentices' to be more inclusive
Disney's "fairy godmothers" who dress up children as princesses and knights at its U.S. theme parks are now called "apprentices," a gender-neutral term which is part of its efforts to be more inclusive, the company said on Friday.
Related video above: Disney Theme Park Employees Can Now Show Tattoos and Wear ‘Gender-Inclusive’ Hairstyles
The new title applies to cast members working at its Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique locations, where they transform children into iconic Disney characters with makeup, nail polish, hairstyles and costumes. The workers were previously called "Fairy Godmothers in training," but they are now called "Fairy God Mother's Apprentices," according to an announcement on Disney's blog Streaming The Magic.
The boutique has been a "long time tradition for families to bring their children to get dressed & styled as their favorite Disney characters," the post said.
"This way cast members that might not identify as female can still be part of the process to dress up & style the children without having to refer to themselves as a female Disney character," according to the announcement.
The decision reflects a wider effort by Disney to update its parks to be more inclusive. Historically, Disney has been specific about Cast Members' appearance — favoring a clean-cut look, to stay consistent with the company's family-friendly image.
Last year, the chairman of Disney's parks division Josh D'Amaro said in a blog post titled "A Place Where Everyone is Welcome" he was committed to updating attractions, modernizing the parks' values and changing the guidelines for how park employees look and dress.
D'Amaro said the company will provide "greater flexibility" to their Cast Member's outfits with respect to "forms of personal expression surrounding gender-inclusive hairstyles, jewelry, nail styles, and costume choices." The parks will even allow Cast Members to show off "appropriate visible tattoos," his statement said at the time.
"We're updating them to not only remain relevant in today's workplace, but also enable our cast members to better express their cultures and individuality at work," D'Amaro wrote. | https://www.kmbc.com/article/disney-changes-name-of-fairy-godmothers-to-gender-neutral-apprentices/40695619 | 2022-07-23T14:12:28Z | https://www.kmbc.com/article/disney-changes-name-of-fairy-godmothers-to-gender-neutral-apprentices/40695619 | false | 11 |
Fig Cake I
A cake that makes your whole house smell good.
A cake that makes your whole house smell good.
This cake is WONDERFUL! Very moist and flavorful. I used a cream cheese frosting instead of the frosting in the recipe. I know I will be making this every year my fig tree produces!
Read MoreI made this cake for the first time tonight and am very disappointed. The cake itself is mainly a spice cake which is fine but you cannot taste any figs (I even put 1 extra cup of figs). I tried to make the icing 2 times with no success. So if your main reason for making a fig cake is to taste the figs, forget this recipe.

This cake is WONDERFUL! Very moist and flavorful. I used a cream cheese frosting instead of the frosting in the recipe. I know I will be making this every year my fig tree produces!
This cake was great. I did not use the frosting because I used one from another recipe. It was 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup water, 2 cups chopped fresh figs,1tablespoon lemon juice. Bring to boil then simmer for 20 min. It came out great. Also, I only had walnuts so I used those. I will make this again!
This is delicious!! It is very moist and full of flavor. I think when the figs are gone I'll try this with another fruit, maybe apples. I was a bit concerned when I made the frosting, but, once on the cake and after setting awhile it was great.. Thanks for sharing this recipe, Liz!!
I have a similar receipe...that is wonderful....What I like to do with this iciing is after you've taken the cake out of the oven..let it sit for 15 min....get a fork and jab the top of the cake, all over...I jab all thru the cake the deeper the better...cause when you pour this delicious icing over it...it oozes down thru the holes you jabbed and it really makes the cake jucier....
This cake was delish...very moist and the topping was wonderful...I have never cooked with fresh figs til this recipe... and this is for sure a keeper...Many enjoyed this recipe.....MANY Thanks to Liz
Not particularly a fig fan myself, I thought this was great and my family loved it even more! It's akin to a spice cake but is so heavy and moist that it's even better. We prefer cream cheese frosting but it's good either way. Great recipe.
Very good....very moist. I added about 2 1/2 cups of figs, and probably could have added a bit more flour, it is moist and very good. I think its a little sweet, though my figs were very sweet too....taking that in mind, I'd cut the sugar a bit next time...frosting was delish. Alot like caramel....very yummy overall!
This is the biggest win! I have suitably impressed my roommates, neighbours, colleagues and friends. Everyone LOVES this recipe. NOTE to anyone trying out the icing for the first time. I was not expecting the icing to foam before turning rich brown. My judgment told me to turn down the heat, but I trusted the thermometer.
Really tasty, and a great way to use up my fresh figs. It freezes very well also!
Wonderful recipe!! I thought the icing was ready, but the thermometer was registering 215. By the time I found my candy thermometer, it had gone past the hard ball stage! Yikes! But it still turned out fine -- delicious, in fact. I highly recommend this cake to anyone who likes spice-type cakes. It's moist, fragrant, and delicious. (My house smells marvelous!) Thanks, Liz!
5 stars for the cake..the BEST spice cake I have ever had!!! I made a cream cheese frosting (2 c. powdered sugar, 1/4 c. butter, 8 oz. cream cheese, 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla) and it was absolutely the best cake. I <3 this cake!!!
I was not pleased with this cake, and I'm ordinarily a fan of figs and spice/fruit cakes. The icing just didn't work out (very oily), so I ended up dusting the cake with powdered sugar.
my whole family really enjoyed this. as others have said, the fig taste is not overpowering, but for us that is a good thing! i was trying to find a way to use a bunch of figs given to me that were surplus from someone's fig tree and had no idea what to do with them. this cake had great texture and was very moist. i made a different (and simpler!) glaze for the top but i think the cake would be just as good without a topping. thanks!!
My parents have 2 fig trees and ever since I found this recipe several years ago, it is expected that I make a couple of these cakes during the season - the year I tried the fig upside down cake recipe, I was met with great disappointment! You really don't get a big fig flavor from this cake, so if that's what you're looking for, you might want to try a different recipe. You get more of a spice cake taste with this. But, it is a very tasty cake, and a great way to use fresh figs. As for the icing, I don't have a candy thermometer, so I just eyeball it by color. I usually leave it a little on thin side, that way it soaks into the cake and makes it super moist. Yum!!
This cake is excellent. My kids and husband all loved this. I agree with other reviewers that the figs are not a big part of the flavor, more of a moist spice cake. I did not change anything except to leave out the pecans as my family are not fond of nuts in baked goods.
THE CAKE WAS WONDERFUL, A DENSE, MOIST, SPICE LIKE FLAVOR. I LIKED THE FROSTING, BUT THINK A CREAM CHEESE FROSTING WOULD WORK BETTER. THE CAKE IS SWEET AND THE CANDY LIKE TOPPING MADE IT A BIT TO SWEET. I THOUGHT THE SERVING SIZE FOR 18 WOULD BE TO MANY SLICES, BUT THIS CAKE IS RICH ENOUGH IT COULD SERVE 18 EASILY. EVERYONE REALLY ENJOYED THIS CAKE, AND THERE WERE FEW CRUMBS FOR OUR DOG TO LICK. I WOULD MAKE AGAIN , ALSO WOULD BE A NICE DESERT FOR A GROUP. I USED SOME FIGS OFF MY TREE, JUST NEED TO COOK SOME MORE UP NOW IN ANOTHER DISH. ENJOY THIS YUMMMY CAKE.
I used the cream cheese icing from a previous review and it turned out great! This is a delicious cake regardless of whether the person has a dislike of figs. You're sure to impress with this one.
Great cake. Made it as an upside down cake and it wowed the guests. Served it with whipped cream Yum.
I made this cake for the first time and thought it was okay, but it wasn't what I was looking for. The cake itself is mainly a spice cake which is fine but you cannot taste any figs. I made the icing but wasn't crazy about it. I probably would have like a cream cheese frosting better as mentioned in other recipes. As someone else, if your main reason for making a fig cake is to taste the figs, forget this recipe. I had my sone take it to work and they liked it. One gal asked for the recipe, so to each their own.
This cake is divine. the icing was a little tricky. I added some more milk at the end because it separated. its more like a sauce you'd put on bread pudding. i think if i make this for a dinner party dessert, i would add a little bourbon to the icing at the end. My husband is still talking about this cake. thank you for sharing this recipe.
Very good! I love making cakes with buttermilk, they come out so moist and rich. Like other reviewers mentioned, the fig taste is understated. I wonder if that would change if we used dried figs?
Wonderful! This is my first time baking with fresh figs and this cake was moist and I loved the spices in it. Next time I might add more figs to get more fig taste, but overall quite delicious. Instead of the butter I used 1/2 cup of light olive oil and it was perfect. My 5 year old pronounced it his favorite and wants it for his birthday cake in a few months. The icing was fun to make. As soon as it turns rich golden brown I pulled it off the heat and beat it. It turned into a smooth carmel topping. I accidentally used salted butter and would not do that again. The cake would even be fine without the frosting as it is so moist, but it is fun to have. Great recipe!
This recipe makes a delicious and very moist cake. I imagine that a variety of fruits could be substituted (dates, raisins), but fresh figs are perfect for this recipe. I did have some trouble with the frosting--I wasn't sure what constituted "spreading consistency," so I believe that I overmixed the frosting, and it ended up pulling up bits of cake as I tried to ice it. Still, I would make this again.
We loved this. It was a great spice cake although the fig flavor was subtle. We didn't put any icing on it as a personal preference. The only modification I made was that I use half the cloves and nutmeg but added a little more cinnamon.
this was a very moist and flavorful cake. I did make a few changes. I decided to make this cake when a relative gave me some jarred figs she had canned from her own tree, I patted them dry and chopped them up i ended up having almost two cups and decided to use it all. I also put 1 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of brown sugar...seemed to add to flavor and moist factor. and for the frosting i made a cinnamon cream cheese frosting. overall this cake is delicious.
A very good cake. We have fig trees so I am interested in trying new recipes to use them. I did however make the mistake of putting bought cream cheese frosting on it. I like (homemade) cream cheese frosting on carrot and spice cake and since this was similar I though it would work. But sometimes being lazy doesn't work. I will try the frosting recipe given if I make it again. My husband said the cake was good - he did not like the frosting tho.
Thank you for this great cake recipe. I made 2 big cakes for a party and everybody loved them.I didn't have a lot of time so I made a cream cheese frosting instead of the cooked one. This cake reminds me of banana cake in it's texture.Great way to use all the figs from my tree.
The husband went back for fourths. I didn't have buttermilk, so I substituted plain milk mixed with my last two tablespoons of plain yogurt and about a teaspoon of lemon juice. It worked great.
Made this today...excellent cake. I skipped the icing and it's wonderful as is, right out of the pan.
Superb! Very moist and a big hit! I used the "Cream Cheese Frosting II" instead of the called for frosting. I wanted something easy and fast. Excellent! Thanks!
My husband and neighbors really liked this cake...I thought it was pretty good too...I used my fresh figs from my tree.
very moist and yummy ... used cream cheese frosting too ... and did about half and half all purpose flour and whole wheat flour ... much like a spice cake
This cake was excellent. Fresh figs do not have a strong flavor, so the taste was basically a light, moist spice cake. I used the whipped cream cheese frosting from this website and it was perfect. Definitely a great way to use fresh figs!
This cake was awesome! I have a fig tree and every year need to find things to make with figs, so a friend of mine and I gave this a try last night. We didn't make the icing. We tried it while it was pretty hot, so the flavors didn't immediately come through--- but by the third bite, we were hooked! Will definitely make again!
I live in a remote location off grid, with no local access to a grocery store for recipe ingredients, so for this I substituted walnuts for pecans and powdered for condensed milk, and I made no frosting. The result is the most delicious cake I have ever made, very moist, with a bold texture and nicely accented with cinnamon and nutmeg. I used fresh figs from my garden.
Love this moist yummy cake.?????? Used a bundt pan just because it reminds me of my mom when she baked with it. Bake time was the same. Iced it with a lemon butter icing. Delicious are the compliments I get.
Full of flavour!! I added lest cloves (cloves usually take over the flavours) and it does taste like a spice cake, but the figs are a great addition
This recipe was excellent! I got many compliments, even from non fig lovers!
I added more figs and I didn't have nutmeg, so I used ginger, as that's still a complementary spice for this wonderful seasonal dessert.

Nairobi County has been turned into an active crime scene where the corrupt have used the courts and parallel payment systems to siphon billions into different company bank accounts while critical services and genuine suppliers go unpaid and unattended to.
The soft spoken and trusting Governor Ann Kananu has found herself in similar waters to former Governors Evans Kidero and Mike Sonko who were overrun by the cartels.
It is for this reason that Sonko sought assistance from the executive.
Following her swearing in, Governor Kananu was immediately confronted by a county in chaos. Several suppliers and contractors who had offered services to the county had not been paid and staff were on the verge of a strike due to delayed payments and unsettled health insurance and allowances.
While the county budget for the year had been approved and disbursed, genuine suppliers had not been paid, many for ongoing services spanning more than 18 months.
A few suppliers had paid out bribes to the Chief Finance Officer in the hopes of being paid once the next budget was released but were yet to be paid as well.
Many hoped that with the entry of the new governor, the period of uncertainty would come to an end, but they were wrong. The cartels had only begun to entrench a system of county capture that would see ghost suppliers and a cabal of businessmen from a particular community profit.
In a bid to steady the ship, Governor Kananu restructured the County Chief Officers through Executive Order No. 3 of 2022 to improve service delivery to Nairobi residents.
Our investigations have revealed a number of suppliers and contractors whose bills of delivery could not be determined.
These suppliers of “air” ironically had consistently been paid in full through the former Chief of Finance, Mr Mohammed Abdi Sahal who was being transferred to the health department as investigations were initiated by the Governor and investigative bodies.
Suppliers and staff breathed a sigh of relief as they expected collective arrears owed by the county.
This relief was short lived however as Mr Sahal challenged his transfer at the Labor and Employment Court where Justice Kibira Ocharo issued orders directing Mr Sahal’s reinstatement to the finance docket.
It is believed that Justice Ocharo was misled by Mr Sahal into issuing orders for his reinstatement despite a preexisting order issued by a different court.
Justice Hellen Ong’udi had previously barred him from exercising the duties of the finance officer. This has led to conflicting orders issued by the two courts further compounding the predicament faced by genuine suppliers who have to now contend with the continued illegal occupation of the finance office by Mr Sahal.
So the question stands, why does Mr Sahal deem it fit to remain in office despite a departmental transfer?
Earlier this month, questions were raised by several suppliers who were still awaiting payment from the county while more recently contracted suppliers were being paid.
Some suppliers complained that they had been summoned to hotels and bribes demanded of them and still they had not been paid.
After our investigations it emerged that the alleged companies that received the irregularly transferred Ksh120 Million had supplied no services to the county and did not undergo any tendering and evaluation process within Nairobi County Government.
These include a majority of companies whose owners belong to a particular community.
The transfer was executed by Mr Sahal mere hours after he wiggled his way back into office after the CEC finance was intimidated and forced to sign a letter giving him back the mandate that had earlier been withdrawn.
The Ksh120 million was paid by the former finance officer, Mr Sahal, despite the executive order no 3 transferring him to a different sector.
In a recent campaign event, Nairobi governor hopeful Polycarp Igathe stated that business in Nairobi had been captured by a powerful cartel of 3 individuals, who our investigations have revealed as comprising of former County Finance Officer Mr Sahal, Mr Abas Khalif (South C MCA hopeful) and the leader of majority Nairobi County Assembly Abdi Guyo who is currently seeking gubernatorial seat for Isiolo County.
Mr Khalif is also eyeing the position of the leader of majority in the county assembly, likely to further entrench the cartel.
The funds stolen from Nairobi County are likely being channelled into their respective political campaigns.
It is an open secret that a supplier who wants to be paid for goods and services must visit Mr Sahal when he is at the Reata Hotel in Milimani.
Mr Sahal and several businessmen, majority from a particular community, linked to the ghost supplier companies that regularly get paid from the county coffers have set up permanent office at the hotel, frequently taking official county business meetings in the premises.
It is from this unofficial office that Mr Sahal and his associates decide which suppliers will be paid.
The entrance fee to join the payment list has been revealed by several suppliers to range between 20-30% of the pending bill.
The money is allegedly collected under guise as a kick back to the ‘mkubwa’ or Governor Kananu but it has been confirmed through further investigation that this money is distributed among Mr Sahal, Mr Khalif and Mr Guyo.
As genuine suppliers await payments, the county capture machine continues to exercise their parallel payment system that channels billions to corrupt businessmen from a particular community who supply nothing.
Most NMS projects namely; roads, pavements and hospital pending bills cannot be paid due to diversion of funds by the former finance officer, Mr Sahal.
MCAs from several wards in Nairobi have also expressed frustrations after their Ward Development Funds were diverted by Mr Sahal, even after he was transferred from the finance docket, as he demands huge bribes and kick-backs.
The result is a class of disgruntled genuine supplies and a county administration on its death bed.
Several staff have confessed to increased delays in salary payment as the funds are diverted through Mr Sahal and his cartel’s illegal parallel system into private pockets.
Letters and documents in our possession, including a sworn affidavit by the Comptroller of Budget, show that county funds are repeatedly diverted by Mr Sahal.
The diversion of staff deductions, salaries, imprest, allowances and arrears has crippled the administration.
A long list of critical services including medical insurance, KRA pending bills, KPLC pending bills, vehicle insurance (including for emergency response vehicles such as ambulances and fire engines) among others have similarly not been paid.
The desperate conditioning has led the county staff to the brink of strike, not helped by the environment of intimidation and bullying instilled by the county capture machinery.
Retaining Mr Sahal as a vessel and instrument of county capture for the benefit of a few members of a particular community continues to have a damaging effect on Nairobi as a whole.
Justice Ocharo was misled by Mr Sahal who continues to file cases with the court in order to slow and stall corrective measures to the situation.
In every case corruption has fought back and taken even bigger bites from the county budget. The latest episode saw Ksh120 Million lost and is currently under investigation by the Directorate of Criminal investigations.
In the larger picture, billions have already been lost to the county capture machinery.
We contacted Governor Kananu for a comment on the allegations. She declined to speak to us and stated that the matter is currently under investigation at DCI and so she is unable to comment until the investigations are concluded.
We also tried to reach former County Finance Officer Mr Sahal for a comment but he remains unreachable.
However, the damage he and his gang have inflicted is so complete that in a case of mistaken identity, a businessman resembling him was recently beaten up by frustrated suppliers when he sought county assistance.
The mismanagement of the County Finance Office by Mr Sahal has led to several arrest warrants being issued against the County Secretary Dr Jairus Musumba for non-payment of court decrees obtained by frustrated suppliers.
In an attempt to evade arrest due to these warrants against him, Dr Musumba has been unable to physically go to his office in the past 6 months, being forced to work from undisclosed locations.
County capture, much like state capture, is elevated corruption. Individuals, like Mr Sahal and his associates, are known to their victims and through manipulation and intimidation are keeping themselves in power to completely milk the county and country dry.
Already garbage collectors in the county of Nairobi have threatened to call a strike until their dues are paid. As the filth and garbage begin to pile up, many others wonder if and when they will see their money at the end of the tunnel.
Nairobi was once known as the city in the sun, but the activities of this cartel have left nothing but darkness, gloom and despair to the staff of Nairobi County, the residents and the investors of Nairobi County.

A rammy has broken out in Glasgow this afternoon after 'football fans' reportedly clashed on a busy road. The incident is believed to have taken place shortly before 2pm when a brawl allegedly erupted on Paisley Road West.
Footage taken at the scene, which was shared on social media, shows police vehicles race to where the stramash appears to erupt. Jeers and shouts can be heard as a large group seem to clash.
The incident took place just two miles from Ibrox stadium, where Rangers are playing Tottenham Hotspur this afternoon.
One individual can be seen grabbing an object from the ground and launching it in the direction of the crowd. People also appear to be pushing and shoving each other in the centre of the chaos.
Passers-by appear hesitant to continue their journey up the road while cars sitting in traffic close to the commotion take a U-turn in a bid to flee the madness.
Moments later, sirens can be heard screeching in the background and multiple police vans race to the scene, with several officers then piling out the vehicle before the video ends.
The video was filmed by a passenger who was queuing on the road located near Ibrox Stadium.
It is unclear whether anyone has been injured as a result of the rammy.
Police Scotland have been contacted for comment. | https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/police-lock-down-busy-glasgow-27558031 | 2022-07-23T14:41:02Z | https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/police-lock-down-busy-glasgow-27558031 | true | 1 |
Erik ten Hag told Manchester United’s players their lack of focus was “unacceptable” after blowing a two-goal lead against Aston Villa in the final match of their pre-season tour of Australia and Thailand.
The curtain came down on the four-game series on a sodden, patchy pitch in Perth, where the Red Devils managed to produce a promising first-half performance in challenging conditions.
Jadon Sancho volleyed home his third goal of the tour at the end of a fine United team move to open the scoring in a first half that ended with Marcus Rashford’s strike deflecting in off Matty Cash.
But just like January’s meeting between these sides in the Premier League, Steven Gerrard’s Villa roared back to secure a 2-2 draw as Leon Bailey’s fine solo goal was added to by Calum Chambers’ stoppage-time header.
“In our team it was clear there was a dip,” United boss Ten Hag said. “First half really good. I think we controlled the game, good football, good change of play.
“We had a lot of movement behind the defending line, made great goals and 2-0 up at half-time. Then a drop of focus. It can be that the guys are tired but it’s never an excuse.
“They have to perform and it is what we didn’t do in the second half. But the first half really good.
“It was the focus. I don’t want to make excuses about the pitch or weather. No matter what we have to perform.”
Asked if the late leveller may be good for the players as it underlines that one slight drop in focus can be costly, Ten Hag said: “That is what we just said in the dressing room.
“A drop of focus is unacceptable but to the season I’m happy because now I can tell them it cannot happen.
“You have to get out of the dressing room and you have to get back to your game plan, get back in your focus and you have to get back to your performance and that is what we didn’t do.”
Ten Hag said he needs to watch Chambers’ leveller back to see if De Gea was at fault at the end of a tour that started with the Dutchman focusing on mistakes in a 4-0 win against Liverpool in Bangkok.
“Football is a sport of mistakes and we have to decrease the mistakes,” he said. “(That’s) clear.
“We will and I have seen a lot of progress in these two weeks. Also again in the first half, I saw really good football, really controlling and dominating the game.
“But we have to learn from (what happened in) the second half. It’s not possible that you give 2-0 up.”
One of the main positives of the pre-season tour has been Anthony Martial’s performances.
The France international appeared to have played his last game for United when he went out on loan to Sevilla in January, but he has started every game on tour and scored three goals.
“I think in general our front men, our forward players did well,” Ten Hag said when asked about Martial.
“They were really well connected, I think that was really a weapon. I think it is really difficult to defend. We have a lot of movement, we have skills and they can finish.” | https://www.expressandstar.com/sport/uk-sports/2022/07/23/erik-ten-hag-warns-manchester-uniteds-players-over-unacceptable-drop-in-focus/ | 2022-07-23T14:42:41Z | https://www.expressandstar.com/sport/uk-sports/2022/07/23/erik-ten-hag-warns-manchester-uniteds-players-over-unacceptable-drop-in-focus/ | true | 9 |
The government has changed the country's flag code by allowing the tricolour to fly both day and night and be machine-made besides use of polyester.
The move came as the government is going to launch a 'Har Ghar Tiranga' (hoisting of flag in every home) from August 13 to 15 as part of the 'Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav'.
In a letter to secretaries of all central ministries and departments, union home secretary Ajay Bhalla said the display, hoisting and use of the Indian national flag is governed by the Flag Code of India, 2002 and the Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act, 1971.
The Flag Code of India, 2002 has been further amended through an order on July, 20, 2022 and clause (xi) of paragraph 2.2 of Part-II of the Flag Code of India, 2002 shall now be read as under:- (xi) "where the Flag is displayed in open or displayed on the house of a member of public, it may be flown day and night".
Earlier, the tricolour is allowed to be flown from sun rise to sun set, irrespective of weather conditions.
Similarly, paragraph 1.2 of Part-I of the Flag Code of India, 2002 shall now be read as under: 1.2. "The National Flag shall be made of hand spun and hand woven or machine made, cotton/ polyester/ wool/ silk khadi bunting."
Earlier machine made and polyester flags are not allowed to be used.
The Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav is being celebrated to commemorate 75 years of a progressive independent India.
The 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign has been launched to encourage the citizens to hoist the national flag in their homes from August 13 to 15.
The home secretary also enclosed with his letter the salient features of the Flag Code including the changes made on December, 30, 2021 and July 20, 2022 and the frequently asked questions (FAQs) about the use and display of the national flag.
"You are requested to ensure that these are widely disseminated among various organisations, PSUs under your administrative control," the home secretary said in his letter. | https://www.rediff.com/news/report/govt-tweaks-flag-code-now-can-be-flown-day-and-night/20220723.htm | 2022-07-23T14:49:16Z | https://www.rediff.com/news/report/govt-tweaks-flag-code-now-can-be-flown-day-and-night/20220723.htm | false | 7 |

Colombia's Ambassador to India Mariana Pacheco Montes has said that her country electing a left-wing President Gustavo Petro is a show of "strong democracy". Speaking to our diplomatic correspondent Sidhant Sibal, Ambassador Mariana explained, "This is the 3rd time he has gone as presidential candidate, so he not new to politics but what is new is Colombia elects for the first time a left-wing President. He got a margin of 3% over his contender, there is lot of expectation and enthusiasm about him coming to power." | https://www.wionews.com/videos/as-colombia-gets-first-left-wing-president-envoy-mariana-says-its-a-show-of-strong-democracy-500057 | 2022-07-23T14:51:41Z | https://www.wionews.com/videos/as-colombia-gets-first-left-wing-president-envoy-mariana-says-its-a-show-of-strong-democracy-500057 | true | null |
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.
The U.S. ambassador to Kyiv, Bridget Brink, called the strike "outrageous".
"The Kremlin continues to weaponize food. Russia must be held to account," Brink wrote on Twitter.
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.
Russia and Ukraine are major global wheat suppliers, and the war sent food prices soaring. A global food crisis has pushed some 47 million people into "acute hunger," according to the World Food Programme.
Friday's deal seeks to avert famine in poorer nations by injecting more wheat, sunflower oil, fertilizer and other products into world markets including for humanitarian needs, partly at lower prices.
U.N. officials said on Friday the deal, expected to be fully operational in a few weeks, 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.
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.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Friday the deal would make around $10 billion worth of grain available for sale with roughly 20 million tonnes of last year's harvest to be exported. | https://en.prothomalo.com/international/europe/rb7q33o7sd | 2022-07-23T14:53:03Z | https://en.prothomalo.com/international/europe/rb7q33o7sd | false | 4 |
China confirms top officials vaccinated as it seeks to reassure vaccine-sceptic
China is struggling to convince many of its residents to get inoculated -- especially its vaccine-hesitant elderly
Chinese anti-Covid vaccines are safe and have been given to the country's top leaders, Beijing's health authorities said Saturday, in a bid to reassure the population about their quality in the face of dwindling inoculation rates.
Using snap lockdowns, long quarantines and mass testing, China is the last major economy still pursuing the goal of eliminating outbreaks, even as its zero-Covid strategy takes a heavy toll on the economy.
But it has struggled to convince many Chinese people to get vaccinated -- especially the elderly -- with the relatively stable health situation and widespread fears over the quality of Chinese vaccines often blamed.
A year and a half since beginning its vaccination campaign in the country, Saturday's comments by Zeng Yixin, deputy director of the National Health Commission, mark the first time that China has officially commented on the inoculation status of its leaders.
"All current leaders of the Communist Party and the state have been vaccinated against Covid-19 and they have all been vaccinated with vaccines produced in China," Zeng said, in comments indicating that President Xi Jinping is included in the group.
"This demonstrates that our leaders take the prevention and control of Covid-19 very seriously, and have great confidence in Chinese anti-Covid vaccines," he added.
According to Zeng, among those over 60, only 67.3 percent of people over 60 have received three doses, a rate that drops to 38.4 percent among those over 80.
Authorities are also working to defuse fears fueled by misinformation circulated online.
"Covid vaccines do not cause leukemia, diabetes" and "do not cause tumors to proliferate", Wang Fusheng, director of the infectious disease department at the 301 Military Hospital in Beijing, said Saturday.
The most used Chinese vaccines are those made by the private laboratory Sinovac and those made by state pharmaceutical giant Sinopharm. Beijing has yet to authorize the use of foreign Covid vaccines on its soil.
China currently registers a few hundred new cases each day, with authorities moving quickly to quell outbreaks by instating localised confinements, and placing infected patients into mandatory quarantine. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/afp/article-11041977/China-confirms-officials-vaccinated-seeks-reassure-vaccine-sceptic.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-07-23T14:55:38Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/afp/article-11041977/China-confirms-officials-vaccinated-seeks-reassure-vaccine-sceptic.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true | 9 |

Actor Daniel Radcliffe is someone many millennials have watched grow up in front of their eyes, so it’s always going to be a little jarring to hear him talk frankly about his addiction to alcohol or his sex life, which he has, many times. Best known for playing Harry Potter in eight blockbuster films, the actor turned 33 on Saturday.
Radcliffe played the antagonist in the successful action/rom-com The Lost City earlier this year, but he’s no stranger to taking creative risks. As a teenager, he sent his fans into a tizzy when he appeared in the play Equus, which required him to be (literally) naked on stage. It was around the same time that Radcliffe developed a drinking habit, which he has spoken about often in interviews.
The same interviews also addressed his adulthood, and everything that entails. In a 2012 interview with The Mirror, he was asked if he’s ever agreed to sleep with Harry Potter fans. He said, “I was always very nervous about the groupie thing. I like to like somebody before I sleep with them. You know you’re going to have to talk to them afterwards, even if it is a one-night stand. I have… I mean, that has happened, but generally speaking I’ve known the person. Apart from a few times when I was drinking. Besides, I like having a girlfriend. I have a crazy life… somebody will tell me we’re going to an airport and I know vaguely what we’re doing but I have no idea when, so I take it a day at a time.”
An old interview with the now-defunct Details magazine noted that Radcliffe “celebrated reaching Britain’s age of consent, 16, almost three years ago, in the customary manner, with an older girlfriend.” Radcliffe said that the age-difference between them “wasn’t ridiculous, but it would freak some people out.”

He provided more details in an interview with Elle magazine in 2014. He said, “It was with somebody I’d gotten to know well. I’m happy to say I’ve had a lot better sex since then, but it wasn’t as horrendously embarrassing as a lot of other people’s were—like my friend who got drunk and did it with a stranger under a bridge.”
Radcliffe has been with girlfriend Erin Darke for a decade. Earlier this year, he told People, “I’ve got a really nice life. I’ve been with my girlfriend for a decade pretty much. We’re really happy.”

When the first trailer for Nope dropped, viewers almost immediately swarmed social media trying to interpret the opaque montage of shots – shots which revealed virtually nothing about the plot of the movie. This is partially of Jordan Peele's own doing, because his first two feature films as a writer-director, Get Out and Us, set up high expectations for twisty, multilayered social commentary by way of popcorn thrills. Even more so it's a product of the current cultural landscape, where seemingly every big movie or TV series is laden with twists and Easter eggs and spoiler-y cameos, lending itself to fervent Reddit threads breaking down the creator's underlying meaning.
Peele surely knows by now what audiences anticipate from him and other filmmakers like him, which is probably why – once again – he's managed to subvert our expectations. Nope isn't so much a plot-twisty experience to be meticulously deconstructed as it is a consistently surprising one. It's a journey that's less social commentary-forward than its predecessors, yet still stacked with plenty of meaning to tease out after you've left the theater.
First and foremost, he wants us to be in awe. And on that front, he doesn't disappoint.
The film opens by quoting a Bible verse from the book of Nahum: "I will cast abominable filth at you, make you vile, and make you a spectacle," followed by a quiet, eerie scene involving an animal that's best left unsaid for first-time viewers; the better to creep you out in the moment. Eventually, Nope drops us into the world of OJ and Emerald Haywood (Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer), a pair of siblings dealing with the loss of their father Otis, Sr. (Keith David) while trying to maintain the family business. Haywood Hollywood Horses is their company, a horse wrangling outfit that's worked with TV and film productions for years and is based in the small California desert valley town of Agua Dulce.
Mysterious events and sightings from above begin to occur on the family's ranch, and the hard-hustling Emerald sees an opportunity to make some extra cash by getting the perfect shot of a UFO to sell online. Soon, she and OJ have tricked their land out with camera gear with the help of Angel (Brandon Perea), a tech salesman and quirky supernatural enthusiast who has a plethora of time on his hands. (His actress girlfriend just broke up with him, much to his dismay.) But the UFO poses more of a threat than they initially realize, and soon the three find themselves on the offensive and enlist the help of an old-school filmmaker – the kind who still shoots on actual film – played by Michael Wincott.
True to Peele's sensibilities, Nope seems to be borrowing from a plethora of cinematic references: Spielberg (particularly Jaws and E.T.), M. Night Shyamalan (Signs), and Alien, just to name a few. Kaluuya plays OJ almost like the strong, silent cowboy heroes of Old Hollywood westerns, a man of few words unless the occasion truly calls for it, and the kind of guy who keeps his feelings close to the vest. This contrasts nicely with Palmer's fast-talking, looser Emerald; she's the firecracker in this powder keg, injecting energy, wit, and comedic relief into a character whose ideas on how to keep the family's legacy alive run up against her brother's intentions.
As the movie trots along, the plot is always a couple steps ahead of where the mind may go, and – at least upon first viewing – not all of the threads necessarily hold together if you think about them for too long. (For instance, a storyline involving Steven Yeun as an amusement park owner and former child star is very effective in echoing the movie's themes, but could also have been more developed.) I also suspect that, like Us, this will stir up a lot of debate about what message Peele might be trying to impart to his audiences, though I'd argue there's less there there to debate over in this case. (On the other hand, maybe that in itself is something to ponder.)
This is not to say Nope is slight; with this movie, he's contributing a new entry to the rich history of Black westerns (the Sidney Poitier-directed Buck and the Preacher is visually referenced, for one) and tapping into themes about a cultural obsession with taming nature and profiting off of pageantry. It's also significant to note how Peele playfully speaks to Black audiences and their frequent responses to horror movies through the clever title and OJ and Emerald's actions – like Regina Hall's ever-skeptical Brenda in the Scary Movie franchise, these characters are wary and smart about situations that are obviously ominous. "Nope" isn't just a phrase, it's a way of survival.
But the aims strongly prioritize thrills and mood-setting. Aesthetically, this is his most ambitious feature yet, with intensely crafted action sequences, breathtaking visuals courtesy of cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema, and a superbly immersive sound design by Johnnie Burn. Peele seems to be having more fun with his audience than ever before as a feature filmmaker, and in turn, it makes for a fun watch.
In an era of sequels, prequels, reboots, and franchises-within-franchises, it's refreshing to see a filmmaker working in this mode, evoking familiarity while keeping viewers on their toes. Nope has only solidified my anticipation for anything and everything Peele does next.

Abu Dhabi’s Wealth Fund Buys Stake in CVC-Owned TMF Group
Bloomberg News
,(Bloomberg) --
Abu Dhabi Investment Authority has agreed to invest in TMF Group, the corporate-trust services provider owned by CVC Capital Partners that had been exploring an initial public offering, according to people familiar with the matter.
The Middle East sovereign wealth fund will take a significant minority stake in TMF and a seat on the company’s board, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing confidential information.
TMF provides services including bookkeeping, payroll, fund administration and compliance to multinational corporations and financial institutions. CVC agreed to buy the company in 2017 for a total consideration of 1.75 billion euros ($1.78 billion). TMF expects to post double-digit revenue growth this year, the people said.
Representatives for ADIA, CVC and TMF declined to comment.
Earlier this year, CVC considered taking TMF public. That was before the market for listings was hit by multiple risk factors, including inflation, hawkish central bank policy, the war in Ukraine and threat of recessions. As a result, IPO candidates are increasingly exploring other options for raising funds.
CVC in 2021 attempted to take over Dutch tax administration specialist Intertrust NV and merge it with TMF in a deal that would have created a global giant in tax administration and corporate trust services. It lost out to rival bidder CSC, a US provider of compliance and legal services.

July 23, 2022
One of the most heated talking points in professional football has been renewed for another year: Madden ratings.
EA Sports released "Madden NFL 23's" team and player ratings in full on Friday with the final reveal of the game's top quarterbacks going into its mid-August launch.
How do the Eagles stack up? Let's take a look...
As a team, the Birds come in at 85 overall, with an 83 rating on defense, a 78 on offense, and 77 on special teams. They rank in at 10 out of the 32 teams to start, coming in behind the likes of the Buccaneers, Bills, defending champion Rams, rival Cowboys, and the ever-contending Chiefs.
Surprisingly, they also rank slightly ahead of the upstart AFC champion Bengals.
But those numbers in general seem a little low at first glance don't they? You'd figure after a huge offseason, highlighted by the additions of defensive "weapon" Haason Reddick and star receiver A.J. Brown, that the ratings might be a little more generous, but the team down at EA Tiburon in Florida doesn't seem to be buying into the hype that much of the Delaware Valley is, at least not initially.
Here are the Eagles' 10 best players heading into "Madden 23" based on overall rating:
• Darius Slay, CB, 92 OVR
• Lane Johnson, RT, 92 OVR
• Jason Kelce, C, 90 OVR
• Fletcher Cox, DT, 88 OVR
• A.J. Brown, WR, 87 OVR
• Dallas Goedert, TE, 85 OVR
• Javon Hargrave, DT, 84 OVR
•.Jordan Mailata, LT, 84 OVR
• DeVonta Smith, WR, 83 OVR
• Haason Reddick, 82, LOLB
Darius Slay comes in as one of the game's top corners and, unsurprisingly, Lane Johnson and Jason Kelce are rated as two of the better offensive lineman.
Brown, while not one of the game's top 10 receivers, should at least be a consistent pass-catching option when playing with the Birds after several years of any eligible receiver not named Zach Ertz or Dallas Goedert sticking to defensive backs like glue.
It's the guy throwing the passes that might be a problem though, in-game that is.
Jalen Hurts has top-10 speed for quarterbacks with an 87 rating in the category, but doesn't hold up too well outside of the ground game. He's rated 74 overall, which is the 24th highest rating of all QBs in the game. And if you played with the Eagles heavily in "Madden 22," you'll know that it means completing even the most routine passes will continue to be somewhat difficult with Hurts, especially with the new passing mechanics detailed HERE by my friend Logan Moore over at ComicBook.com
Keep in mind though that these are just the ratings at launch, and they will all fluctuate based on how the 2022 NFL season plays out. Anything can happen.
"Madden 23" releases August 19 and will be a particularly heavy year for the long-running series as it celebrates its namesake John Madden, the Hall of Fame coach, broadcaster, and videogame icon who passed away in December.
We spoke to Philly artist Chuck Styles last month, who was commissioned by EA to create the three covers featuring Madden himself in a conversation you can check out HERE.
Tomas Franzese over at DigitalTrends also spoke to series producer Aaron McHardy about how Madden's passing affected the development team's approach to this year's game and how they plan to pay tribute to his legacy within it, which you can check out HERE.

The New York Yankees and Baltimore Orioles square off on Saturday with first pitch set for 7:05 p.m. ET. The game takes place at Camden Yards in Baltimore and will only be available on local TV or through an MLB.tv subscription. Gerrit Cole (9-2, 3.02 ERA) will head to the hill for the Yankees while Jordan Lyles (6-8, 4.76 ERA) will start for the Orioles.
New York (65-30) enters Saturday with the best record in baseball and continues its series with the Orioles after a win on Friday night. The Yankees outlasted Baltimore 7-6 in the series opener, led by Aaron Judge’s two-homer and four-RBI performance at the plate. That being said, New York lost reliever Michael King due to what was later confirmed to be an elbow fracture, knocking him out for the rest of the season. The Yankees may be more aggressive for relief help with the August 2 trade deadline around the corner after this development.
Baltimore (46-47) sits in last place in the AL East and despite falling to a game below .500 it continues to prove it will not quit. Despite Judge’s performance for New York, Anthony Santander notched a three-run homer at the expense of Aroldis Chapman to cut the Yankees’ lead to 7-6 in the seventh inning. Though Baltimore would eventually go on to lose Friday’s matchup, the Orioles continue to present a pesky challenge to baseball’s best team.
Yankees vs. Orioles
Pitchers: Gerrit Cole vs. Jordan Lyles
First pitch: 7:05 p.m. ET
Yankees local broadcast: YES Network
Orioles local broadcast: Mid-Atlantic Sports Network

Odds, picks & predictions
Run Line: Yankees -1.5
Run total: 8.5
Moneyline odds: Yankees -245, Orioles +205
Moneyline pick: Yankees -245
Baltimore has been a surprising thorn in the Yankees’ side this season but can you ever truly trust the Orioles to stave off New York’s bats? The Yankees are averaging a league-best 5.38 runs per game this season and 5.5 runs per game on the road. Having their ace on the hill is the icing on the cake for a New York win.
Player prop pick: Gerrit Cole over 7.5 strikeouts (-140)
Cole should have some extra motivation in his pocket as he seeks revenge against a Baltimore team that is responsible for one of his two losses this season. The Orioles rank in the bottom half in both hits and runs this season. Bet on a big day for Cole on the hill in a revenge win against Baltimore.

With the 4.9% drop in gasoline prices at Petrobras refineries, which came into force on Wednesday (20), speculation and bets that there will also be a reduction in the value of diesel fuel increased. This fuel is sold in Brazil at a price between 2% and 3% higher than in the foreign market; before the adjustment, the price of gasoline in refineries was 8% higher than abroad (R$ 0.30 per liter).
The decrease was possible due to two main factors: the government’s tax reduction policy, implemented in recent weeks, and the maintenance of the exchange rate at a high level, which generated a slight increase in the reference prices of diesel and gasoline in the international market.
According to Abicom (Brazilian Association of Fuel Importers), the cheapest liter of gasoline R$ 0.20 has zeroed the fuel gap in the domestic market in relation to that sold in the Gulf of Mexico, used as a reference in negotiations in Brazil. “There was room for reduction, due to the drop in prices in the international market. From a technical point of view, this readjustment makes sense”, says Sérgio Araújo, executive president of the association.
In a note, Petrobras says: “The reduction of R$ 0.20 applied to the prices of gasoline sold by Petrobras followed the evolution of international reference prices, which stabilized at a lower level for this product, and is consistent with the pricing practices, which seek balance with the global market, but without passing on to domestic prices the conjunctural volatility of international quotations and the exchange rate.”
At PPI comparison (Import Parity Price) of the two fuels with domestic prices, calculated by Abicom, the average lag of gasoline on Wednesday (20) was 0%, and that of diesel oil was 3%. This indicates that the first reached parity, zeroing the price difference in relation to the international market. Diesel had a reduction in the positive lag, which decreased even more throughout the week, reaching 2% on Thursday (21) and Friday (22).
The association informs that, for the calculations, the values for gasoline, diesel oil, exchange, RVO (Renewable Volume Obligation) and maritime freight, at the close of the market of the previous day, are used as reference.
the diesel
If the stabilization of the price of gasoline internationally contributed to the reduction of its value in the domestic market, the decrease in the lag of diesel did not have the same effect, yet, due to volatility. “Diesel is being traded in Brazilian refineries at a value 3% above international prices, making it possible to reduce prices in Brazilian refineries in the order of R$ 0.14 per liter”, assesses Araújo.
For him, Petrobras should wait for a greater stabilization of the foreign market, perhaps until the middle of next week, to then decide on the reduction. “Today, the possibility of a small decrease in the price of diesel sold here exists, but you have to be very careful. They cannot get ahead and then go back. There is still a lot of uncertainty because of the crisis in gas supply from Russia. for Europe”, explains the president of Abicom.
Despite not confirming, Petrobras also does not rule out a drop in the price of this fuel: “With regard to diesel, it is important to clarify that each oil-derived product has its own market and valuation dynamics, according to its global supply and demand balances. In this way, Petrobras continues to monitor the market and, due to competition issues, cannot anticipate its decisions on maintenance or price adjustment.”
For Luciano Losekann, professor of economics and coordinator of the Energy and Regulation Group at UFF (Federal Fluminense University), decisions involving diesel demand greater care from the oil company. “It is a product that we need to import more, the share of imports in the domestic supply is greater, and the market is short, the international demand is also great. It is difficult to make a prediction about Petrobras’ pricing, taking into account that the last steps in this matter were influenced by political interference”, he says.
In addition to being unstable outside Brazil, diesel has higher prices than gasoline in the country, as it has benefited less from the new government measures. Federal taxes were no longer levied on it, and ICMS rates were lower, close to or below the percentages adopted for essential products (between 10% and 18%, depending on the state). After state rate cuts, the drop in pumps was just 1.2%.
Risk of shortage
The high international demand for diesel can be seen as a safety issue, according to Losekann. “The government has been talking about reduced stocks. All over the world, there are countries reviewing their stocks, some have experienced shortages, others are worried about supplies. In our case, it would be interesting to maintain international parity, to stimulate imports and avoid a reduction of stocks”, evaluates the professor.
Araújo, from Abicom, says that between 25% and 30% of the diesel consumed in Brazil comes from abroad, which makes the country dependent on imports. “From September onwards, there is also a greater movement, it is the time of the most intense transport of the crop, and the availability of fuel is low”, he says.
For him, the government is attentive to stocks. “I don’t believe in a generalized shortage. It may happen in one or another port, for a few moments, but it will be a punctual thing”, says the executive president of Abicom.
The price of diesel oil, which rose 14.26% in June, and was even sold by Petrobras at R$ 5.61 per liter, caused road transport freight to also rise, compared to May 2021. and 2022. “A transfer of the increase in costs to the price of freight is already happening, however, still slowly. online cargo transport platform, which enables the hiring of autonomous drivers by carriers.
According to the IFPF (Freight Price Freight Index), calculated from the platform’s data, the price per kilometer per wheeled axle of rice shipments, for example, rose 8.11% that month, rising from R$0. .90 in 2021, to R$ 0.98 in 2022. The value of freight for beans rose 13.02%, from R$ 0.81 to R$ 0.91. This has an impact on the price of almost all consumer products, which depend on road transport to go to industries and to supermarkets and stores. | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/07/23/after-gasoline-petrobras-does-not-rule-out-reducing-diesel-prices/ | 2022-07-23T15:45:02Z | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/07/23/after-gasoline-petrobras-does-not-rule-out-reducing-diesel-prices/ | false | 1 |
EU looks to replace gas from Russia with Nigerian supplies
Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com
LAGOS, July 23 (Reuters) - The European Union is seeking additional gas supplies from Nigeria as the bloc prepares for potential Russian supply cuts, Matthew Baldwin, deputy director general of the European Commission's energy department, said on Saturday.
Baldwin was speaking in Nigeria where he held meetings with officials from Africa's largest oil producer this week.
He was told that Nigeria was improving security in the Niger Delta and planned to re-open the Trans Niger pipeline after August, which would yield more gas exports to Europe.

The EU imports 14% of its total LNG supplies from Nigeria and there is potential to more than double this, Baldwin told Reuters by phone.
Oil and gas output in Nigeria is being throttled by theft and vandalism of pipelines, leaving gas producer Nigeria LNG Ltd's terminal at Bonny Island operating at 60% capacity.
"If we can get up to beyond 80%, at that point, there might be additional LNG that could be available for spot cargoes to come to Europe," Baldwin said.
"They (Nigerian officials) said to us, 'Come and talk to us again at the end of August because we think we can deliver real progress on this'."
Nigeria NLG is owned by state-oil company NNPC Ltd, Shell, TotalEnergies and Eni.
The European Commission said on Wednesday that EU member states should cut their gas use by 15% from August to March. The target would initially be voluntary, but would become mandatory if the Commission declared an emergency. read more
Last year, Nigeria exported 23 billion cubic metres (bcm) of gas to the EU, but the figure has been declining over the years. In 2018 the bloc bought 36 bcm of LNG from Nigeria, Baldwin said.

Tunis/Tunisia — Through its project "Promotion of Sustainable Tourism in Tunisia," the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) will launch a catalogue dedicated to alternative tourism products and experiences in Tunisia.
GIZ announced the opening of a call for applications, from July 22 to August 5, in order to select 70 tourism service providers throughout Tunisia, the agency said Friday in a post.
The service providers targeted by this call for applications must carry out a formal activity, the German cooperation agency insists, adding that the alternative tourism products can be cultural, culinary, sports experiences, etc.
This catalogue is meant to help Tunisian travel agencies modernise the tours they offer by introducing new activities and building partnerships with service providers in the sector.
It is also intended as a promotional tool to make the Tunisian alternative offer visible at national and international tourist events to foreign tour operators, says GIZ.
It will thus allow a better visibility of the alternative tourist offer in Tunisia.
This catalogue will be available in an e-version on the website of the Tunisian Federation of Travel Agencies (FTAV) as well as on a platform specially dedicated to travel agencies.
The project "Promotion of Sustainable Tourism in Tunisia" is being implemented by GIZ in partnership with the Tunisian Ministry of Tourism and Handicrafts. It is financed by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and the European Union (EU) within the framework of
the programme Tounes Wijhetouna (Tunisia - our destination).
The project aims to diversify and strengthen the quality of Tunisian tourism offers. The focus lies on cultural and nature tourism products in selected regions. Thus, the sector contributes to a
sustainable strengthening of the economy and an improvement of the Tunisian labour market. | https://allafrica.com/stories/202207230194.html | 2022-07-23T16:00:22Z | https://allafrica.com/stories/202207230194.html | false | 1 |
Monkeypox declared global emergency by World Health Organisation after cases spread to more than 70 countries
MONKEYPOX has been declared a global emergency by the World Health Organisation (WHO) after cases spread to more than 70 countries.
Dr Tedros Adhanmon Ghebreyesus said the risk of people catching the virus in Europe was "high".
The WHO Director General said the risk globally was "moderate" but the health committee had decided to declare an emergency anyway.
Dr Tedros said Monkeypox had now spread to more than 75 countries and infected more than 16,000 people, killing five.
"In light of the evolving outbreak, I reconvened the committee on Thursday of this week to review the latest data and advise me accordingly," he said.
He said the committee was at first "was unable to reach a consensus" on whether to declare a global emergency but that the "WHO’s assessment is that the risk of monkeypox is moderate globally and in all regions, except in the European region where we assess the risk as high".
He said there was also a "clear risk" of further international spread, although the risk the virus would spread as more people travelled remained "low".
"In short, we have an outbreak that has spread around the world rapidly, through new modes of transmission, about which we understand too little, and which meets the criteria in the International Health Regulations," Dr Tedros told a press conference today.
Outbreaks across the globe were sparked in May and experts are still grappling with containing them.
Anyone can get the illness - more so if you have been in contact or had sexual contact with someone with symptoms.
Most read in The Sun
Traditionally, people with monkeypox have developed a fever, swollen lymph nodes, headaches and muscle aches.
The symptoms are followed by a rash that starts on their face or mouth and then spreads to other parts of their body - particularly the hands and feet.
However, in some recent cases, patients first experienced a rash in the mouth or around the genitals or anus.
And instead of widespread rashes, some patients saw scattered or localized lesions in areas other than the face, hands, or feet. | https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/19295101/monkeypox-declared-global-emergency-who/ | 2022-07-23T16:09:11Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/19295101/monkeypox-declared-global-emergency-who/ | false | 4 |
BEIJING (AP) — Ten employees of a coal company died in northwestern China on Saturday when a mountainside slope collapsed on them, state media reported.
Rescuers spent all day to retrieve the workers who were buried in their vehicle en route to a mine site in Jingtai county in Gansu province, CCTV reported.
Ten died and seven were found alive with light injuries. Operations stopped around 8 p.m. Saturday.
The workers were employed by Shanxi Coking Coal Minbao group.
An investigation into the incident was underway. | https://www.greenwichtime.com/news/article/10-die-in-northwest-China-after-mountain-slope-17324447.php | 2022-07-23T16:10:22Z | https://www.greenwichtime.com/news/article/10-die-in-northwest-China-after-mountain-slope-17324447.php | false | null |
Come April next year, the Central Government is expected to introduce a new star rating system through which carmakers in the country can have their vehicles’ crash safety levels assessed and rated. Ever since Global NCAP, a UK-based not-for-profit organisation kicked off its “SaferCarsForIndia” initiative in 2013, the resulting safety ratings have served to highlight the differences between Indian and international crash testing standards and therefore the crash safety levels of cars sold in India.
At present India follows very basic crash safety regulations set up by the United Nations. These were put into effect in 2017, with the government requiring no crash safety regulations prior to that.
The crash test regulations introduced were similar to those set by Global NCAP with one key difference: the speed at which the crash was conducted. While Global NCAP maintained a speed of 64kph, Indian crash tests which include a similar front and lateral collision test, are conducted at 56kph in accordance with Regulation 94 from the United Nations regulations for impact protection.
Lateral collision tests are conducted at an even lower speed of 50kph. While pedestrian, rear-end, and run-off road tests are also a part of crash safety test procedures, they aren't, at present, mandated by the government.
Most importantly, there is no star rating system, which means that manufacturers who clear the crash tests needn’t be graded on just how well they passed those tests and in which areas they fared poorly. This is one of the many things that the proposed Bharat NCAP system is hoping to address.
Under a contemporary New Vehicle Assessment Programme, a vehicle is allotted points based on front-offset and side-impact crash tests, pedestrian safety score along with child and adult occupant protection scores during the above-mentioned front-offset and side-impact crash tests.
An additional point is then given for any driver assistance or active safety technology, which is why cars with ESC as standard equipment tend to score higher over those that do not (assuming dual airbags and ABS are also standard, as per the law). These tests are presently conducted at centres built by ARAI (an autonomous body associated with the Union Ministry of Heavy Industries), iCAT (Manesar), NATRAX (Indore) and Chennai (GARC).
In addition to these, the Central Motor Vehicle Rules has appointed the Indian Institute of Petroleum (Dehradun) Central Institute of Road Transport (Pune), Vehicle Research and Development Establishment (Ahmednagar) as government-approved testing agencies across the country.
What needs to change
The Central Motor Vehicles Act, created in 1988 and amended multiple times since, continues to have only one chapter (Chapter VII) dedicated to the Construction, Equipment and Maintenance of Motor Vehicles. And it continues to remain woefully deficient in specifying just what measures carmakers need to take to ensure structural integrity. The only thing pertaining to vehicular construction is under Section 110 which states:
“The Central Government may make rules regulating the construction, equipment and maintenance of motor vehicles and trailers with respect to the width, height, tyre conditions, length and overhang of vehicles (…), speed governors, seat belt and other essential equipment”
It goes on to also include software for inbuilt safety devices, noise reduction, installation of catalytic converters, warranty norms etc. as things that it will regulate. Just what the criteria for passing crash tests, however, remains unspecified. Standards for seat belts, anchorages, child seats have been in place since 2010 with dual airbags and ABS having been mandatory since 2021 and 2019 respectively. Since 2017, seat belt reminders, speed alert system, reverse gear sensors and seat belt pretensioners have also become mandatory.
While dual airbags and ABS having become mandatory has gone a long way in upping the safety quotient of modern cars, even the UN-based crash safety regulation currently used by us do not have any special provisions for electric vehicles or factory-built CNG cars – two aspects that the proposed Bharat NCAP aims to change.
While brands like Maruti Suzuki have pushed for the crash speed to be limited to 56kph, citing average Indian driving speeds, said the speed limit is far more accommodative of structural inconsistencies. A crash conducted at 64kph will reveal more about the gaps in the car's overall structural soundness, and therefore is the designated speed that Bharat NCAP aims to implement. For CNG cars, post-crash leakage tests are to be on par with those of hydrogen-powered vehicles. According to Abhay Mannikar, advisor at the ARAI, Bharat NCAP aims to surpass Global NCAP when it comes to ratings for CNG and EVs in India (as told to Autocar Professional).
Bharat NCAP not likely to be a regulatory body
With brands like Maruti Suzuki, which have always held sway over policy-making, lobbying against Bharat NCAP being a regulatory body, odds are that having a star rating system will only be used to inform customers of the safety rating of the vehicle being purchased. That means that for a vehicle to be road-legal, compliance with Central Motor Vehicle Rules will suffice.
The idea, according to the road ministry, is to help consumers make an informed decision. In essence, Bharat NCAP, assuming it’s implemented by April 2023, will serve to replace Global NCAP, and therefore the need for manufacturers to send their vehicles overseas for testing.
With state-of-the-art testing centres already in the works, (ARAI claims to be ready with a new facility in Chakan, Pune) brands which do not participate in a Bharat NCAP assessment will be conspicuous in not carrying a star rating. Several brands like Mahindra and Tata Motors which have surged ahead in sales, in part, due to stellar Global NCAP-certified ratings, have welcomed the move and will in all likelihood use it to their benefit.
In the last decade, Global NCAP ratings have played a major role in forcing carmakers to improve safety credentials, whether they like to admit it or not. That, along with a few more mandatory features like ESC, multiple airbags and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems should make for much safer cars than the ones seen in the last decade. Even though the automotive ecosystem would hugely benefit from updated government-mandated crash testing standards, it’s hard to see how any brand could abstain from getting a Bharat NCAP rating, mandatory or not. | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/automobile/what-are-indias-current-crash-safety-regulations-like-8875531.html/amp | 2022-07-23T16:10:40Z | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/automobile/what-are-indias-current-crash-safety-regulations-like-8875531.html/amp | true | 2 |
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — A ratings agency has plans to downgrade more than two dozen Florida-based property insurance companies in a move that could cost more money for homeowners with loans.
The ratings firm Demotech plans to downgrade the 27 insurers from an “A" rating to ratings of either “S" for substantial or “M" for moderate, according to the South Florida Sun Sentinel.
Demotech rates 40 Florida-based insurance companies.
Florida Insurance Commissioner David Altmaier and Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis criticized the ratings agency for the downgrade planned for later this month. They said the decision was based largely on the company’s opinion that legislative reforms enacted over the past two years were not enough to bring the state’s overall insurance market back to health. The market has been facing losses over the past five years.
By doing that, the ratings firm was a applying methodology that fell outside the criteria it is supposed to use, the Florida officials said in letters.
“This is an example of inconsistent, monopolistic power of a select rating agency and is trying to exert coercive influence over Floridians and policymakers in an effort to thwart public policy according to its own opinions,” Altmaier said in his letter.
Federal mortgage loan guarantors Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac require borrowers of loans it backs to maintain insurance coverage with A-rated insurers. Borrowers with insurance backed by companies rated below A could find themselves in default of the terms of their home loans. If that were to happen, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac could then order mortgage servicers to get more expensive coverage by acceptable insurers on the home loans they manage.
From a homeowners' perspective, the timing is bad, said Paul Handerhan, president of the consumer-oriented watchdog group Federal Association for Insurance Reform.
“Can you imagine, with the height of hurricane season around the corner, if you just paid your insurance bill for the year and suddenly your mortgage servicer says, ‘You’re out of compliance and we’re going to force-place you’ and charge $5,000 or $6,000? That’s a real potential,” Handerhan said. | https://www.ctpost.com/news/article/Florida-insurers-face-ratings-change-that-could-17324500.php | 2022-07-23T16:11:05Z | https://www.ctpost.com/news/article/Florida-insurers-face-ratings-change-that-could-17324500.php | true | 14 |

BELOIT, Ohio (WKBN) – West Branch Local School District is looking to put a 0.5% earned income tax levy on the ballot in November.
According to the district, the money would be used for improved safety measures, to increase career tech offerings and remove the pay-to-play model.
“Over the past few years, we have made many decisions to make our district fiscally sound, including evaluating our district’s buildings and staffing and making adjustments to responsibly use the funds we receive,” said Micki Egli, West Branch superintendent, in a statement.
The district closed the Knox building in 2020, but the building will reopen this fall as a local daycare center is leasing the space. Along with the daycare, West Branch Preschool classrooms will relocate to the building.
“Technology is constantly evolving and student needs change,” Egli added. “This levy would provide the ability to enact a number of initiatives supporting student mental health and well-being, offering additional career pathways for graduates, and significantly advancing the safety measures in our district.”
The district plans to hold informational community meetings about the levy, but the details of those meetings haven’t been released yet. | https://www.wytv.com/news/local-news/west-branch-school-district-planning-november-levy/ | 2022-07-23T16:28:52Z | https://www.wytv.com/news/local-news/west-branch-school-district-planning-november-levy/ | true | 2 |

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) — A North Carolina environmental agency has approved a plan to test the soil and groundwater for contamination at the site of a massive fertilizer-plant fire in January.
Montrose Engineering and Geology laid out its plans in a 71-page document approved this week by the N.C. Department of Environmental Control’s Inactive Hazardous Sites Branch, the Winston-Salem Journal reported.
The company will spend up to four months collecting and analyzing hundreds of samples for potentially hazardous materials left behind from the Jan. 31 fire that burned for days at the Winston Weaver fertilizer plant.
Montrose plans to install five wells at the site to test groundwater 20 feet to 30 feet (about six to nine meters) underground, and will collect and analyze more than 500 soil samples.
The firm carried out a preliminary environmental assessment in May.
During and shortly after the fire, high levels of arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead and mercury were detected, according to the contractor. And based on its initial assessment, Montrose says it will look specifically for concentrations of volatile organic compounds, ammonia, nitrate, nitrite, phosphates and metals.
Montrose said it identified contaminants including “waste fluids from the demolition of the former fertilizer production building” and was informed by Winston Weaver that “paints and flammable liquids are among the hazardous waste fluids onsite.”
At the time of the fire, 500 tons of stored ammonium nitrate at the plant threatened to trigger, in the words of Winston-Salem Fire Chief Trey Mayo, “one of the worst explosions in U.S. history.”
Thousands of residents were forced from their homes because of the fire and the threat of explosion. | https://www.myplainview.com/news/article/North-Carolina-signs-off-on-testing-at-plant-fire-17324448.php | 2022-07-23T16:38:03Z | https://www.myplainview.com/news/article/North-Carolina-signs-off-on-testing-at-plant-fire-17324448.php | true | 14 |
MONTREAL - The site of the first mass in Quebec during the Pope's weeklong visit to Canada to make amends with First Nations, Métis and Inuit communities is a renowned pilgrimage destination that merges Indigenous culture and Catholicism.
For more than 300 years, the Ste-Anne-de-Beaupré Basilica, about 30 kilometres northeast of Quebec City, has been visited by thousands of pilgrims, and St. Anne — revered in Christianity as the grandmother of Jesus — holds a unique place within some Indigenous cultures.
“I think St. Anne has always been a part of the spiritual life of Indigenous Peoples … the Innu pray to her a lot,” Tania Courtois, an Innu health co-ordinator for the community of Ekuanitshit, on Quebec's Lower North Shore, said in a recent interview.
Courtois will be among hundreds of people from her community, including several residential school survivors, to attend Pope Francis’s mass on Thursday.
The event comes amid tension between the Roman Catholic Church and Indigenous people who suffered years of abuse at residential schools across Canada. But Ghislain Picard, chief of the Assembly of First Nations Quebec-Labrador, says there’s no animosity or questioning of people's personal religious choices.
“There’s a re-appropriation of our own traditional values, which include spirituality, without really abandoning the Catholic religion in many cases,” Picard said in a recent interview. “I’m not an expert, but there are many people who have probably learned to combine both.”
Denis Gagnon, a professor of anthropology at Université de Saint-Boniface in Winnipeg, studied the origins of Ste-Anne-de-Beaupré and the devotion to St. Anne, mother of the Virgin Mary, among the Innu of northeastern Quebec.
Toward the end of the 1990s, Gagnon met with several Indigenous communities of the region to observe rituals and practices. Gagnon said Indigenous people were drawn to St. Anne because of her healing powers and her status as a strong woman. He pointed out that grandmothers play a key role in many Indigenous cultures.
Missionaries made use of her story to convert Indigenous Peoples to Catholicism, he said. "Jesus didn’t have a lot of meaning for them,” Gagnon said in a recent interview. "(St. Anne) is a character with whom one can intercede for favours: health, a good hunt, a large family."
Louis Rousseau, a professor in the department of religion at the Université du Québec à Montréal, echoed Gagnon's observations.
"Her place as a grandmother allowed Indigenous people to understand her as a protector, because in their world vision, grandfathers and grandmothers, real or imaginary, held that function," Rousseau said in a recent interview.
For Jeannette Vollant, an Innu woman in her 70s from the community of Uashat mak Mani-Utenam, it's love and respect toward her own people rather than religious devotion that will draw her to attend Thursday's mass.
"I don't have anything against people that will continue to go to Ste-Anne-de-Beaupré, that have a passion for St. Anne," Vollant said in a recent interview. "It's every person's choice."
Jay Launière-Mathias, a 28-year-old Innu and Anishinaabe from the community of Mashteuiatsh, said he respects those who find healing in Catholicism even if he feels distanced from religion.
"As a young Indigenous person, it's more what will follow after this that interests me," Launière-Mathias said in a recent interview. "What will be the gestures of reparation? It's not because the Pope apologizes that people are healed."

UK Halts 'Non-Essential Flights' Of Typhoon Fighter Jet Over Faulty Ejector Seats
The primary fighter jet of the Royal Air Force (RAF) has been grounded over malfunctioning ejection seats that could leave UK airspace defenseless, reported Daily Mail.
The Eurofighter Typhoon -- developed by a consortium of European defense manufacturers -- was grounded this week over fears that the ejector seats don't work.
All 'non-essential' Typhoon flights were grounded as crews diagnosed the problem.
"The RAF Typhoons are tasked with protecting the airspace of the United Kingdom and the Falkland Islands, at a time of heightened tensions with Russia," Daily Mail said.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Boris Johnson (who recently agreed to resign) was spotted in a cockpit of a Typhoon fighter jet... | https://www.zerohedge.com/military/uk-halts-non-essential-flights-typhoon-fighter-jet-over-ejector-seats-dont-work | 2022-07-23T16:49:10Z | https://www.zerohedge.com/military/uk-halts-non-essential-flights-typhoon-fighter-jet-over-ejector-seats-dont-work | false | null |
Girl, 6, among 3 fatally shot in tent at Iowa state park
(AP) - Police say 6-year-old girl was among three Iowa family members fatally shot while camping in a state park, apparently killed by a man from Nebraska who later turned the gun on himself.
The victims from Cedar Fall, Iowa, were found in their tent early Friday at the Maquoketa Caves State Park Campground, about 180 miles east of Des Moines.
The the Iowa Department of Public Safety identified them as 42-year-old Tyler Schmidt, 42-year-old Sarah Schmidt and 6-year-old Lulu Schmidt.
Investigators have provided no motive for the attack, but named the suspected gunman as 23-year-old Anthony Sherwin, of La Vista, Nebraska.
Sherwin’s body was found in a wooded area of the park with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.

(The Hill) – Former President Trump attacked the work of the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at a rally supporting several candidates in Arizona on Friday.
Trump held a rally in Prescott Valley to support his endorsed candidate for governor, Kari Lake, and his endorsed candidate for Senate, Blake Masters. During his speech, he said he was watching the committee’s most recent hearing on Thursday, which focused on Trump’s actions as the riot took place at the Capitol building, and called it a “hoax.”
Trump also denied testimony that Cassidy Hutchinson, a former top aide to Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, gave to the committee last month.
Hutchinson said Tony Ornato, Trump’s deputy chief of staff at the time, told her about an incident in the presidential vehicle on Jan. 6 in which Trump became heated when he was told he could not go to the Capitol following his speech at the Ellipse that day. She said Ornato told her that Trump attempted to grab the steering wheel of the vehicle and lunged at a Secret Service agent.
Hutchinson testified that Robert Engel, the agent that Trump allegedly lunged at, was present when Ornato told her of the incident and Engel did not dispute any details.
Trump denied Hutchinson’s account, saying he would not have done that and could not physically have. He praised the Secret Service for denying the account.
Ornato and Engel have said they would be willing to testify to dispute Hutchinson’s testimony on the incident.
But the House Jan. 6 committee showed additional witnesses at its hearing on Thursday that seem to support Hutchinson’s testimony.
Video testimony of a retired Washington, D.C., police officer who was part of the presidential motorcade on Jan. 6 showed him saying that he was told Trump was “adamant” about going to the Capitol and engaged in a “heated discussion” about it. An unidentified former White House employee said Trump was “irate” at not being able to go to the Capitol.
Trump criticized members of the committee, specifically Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), as well.
He said what the “corrupt establishment” is doing to him is about preserving their power. He claimed his opponents will damage him in any way they can.
Trump also attacked Arizona state House Speaker Rusty Bowers (R), who testified at a Jan. 6 committee hearing last month. Bowers testified that Trump and his former attorney Rudy Giuliani pressured him to overturn President Biden’s victory in Arizona, but Bowers refused and rejected Trump’s false claims of voter fraud.
Bowers is currently running for a seat in the Arizona state Senate, and Trump has endorsed his opponent, state Sen. David Farnsworth (R).
Trump said Bowers is a “RINO coward” — “RINO” meaning “Republican in name only.” He said Bowers “disgraced” the state of Arizona and “did nothing” on election integrity.
Trump said if he renounced his views, agreed to stay silent and said he would not run for any future political office, “the persecution of Donald Trump would immediately stop.” But he said he cannot do that.
Trump’s speech comes over the same weekend that former Vice President Mike Pence will be in Arizona to campaign for his endorsed candidate in the governor’s race, Karrin Taylor Robson. | https://www.valleycentral.com/news/national-news/trump-rails-against-jan-6-committee-during-arizona-rally/ | 2022-07-23T16:57:06Z | https://www.valleycentral.com/news/national-news/trump-rails-against-jan-6-committee-during-arizona-rally/ | true | 22 |

Last week, New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham announced that New Mexico was the first state to submit its EV charging plan to the federal government, a requirement to get funding from the infrastructure bill’s EV charging fund. But, the plan wasn’t without controversy, as many in the state and even journalists just don’t understand the complexities of government and the process.
Some Background
Last year’s infrastructure bill included money to fulfill Biden’s campaign promise of 500,000 EV charging stations. The money is part of a $3 trillion infrastructure investment aimed at creating jobs and transitioning the US to cleaner energy sources.
But, to get money to build the stations, states must follow some rules for station placement and specifications. These specifications include:
- Charging stations every 50 miles along interstate corridors
- Four 150 kW stations at each site.
- Enough power to run all four stations at 150 kW simultaneously
States can ask for exceptions in cases where it’s just too hard to put stations in, but they can also use funding to use renewable power to charging stations. Also, once the interstate corridors are complete, they can use the rest of the funding for stations around their states to plug charging gaps in other corridors, put in urban chargers, etc.
We’ve written about the processes other states like Washington, Texas, and Arizona have been using to gather public input, but while the rest of the states were preparing to submit plans, New Mexico was finishing up. On July 13th, the state submitted its plans. You can read the whole plan here if it’s interesting to you, but I’ll hit some highlights real quick.
One very interesting thing I saw early on was that it got a LOT of public input. One of the key things the state got from the public was that stations should be placed in such a way as to plug gaps in charging first and foremost. Interstates were also important, but rural areas were also highly important.
Looking at how they developed the plan and what New Mexico came up with, I think it achieved that goal. Like Arizona, New Mexico seems to want to only cover federal minimums for interstate charging. It’s not that interstates aren’t important, but there are only three such highways in the state. The rest of the state is criss-crossed with US and state highways, with one estimate I read once saying that New Mexico has roughly double the highway mileage of Arizona despite being roughly the same overall size as their neighbor.
By spending only minimally on interstates, most of the money will be left over to cover the needs of the rest of the state.
Instead of picking specific sites, they figured out where the gaps are, determined which exits had power and amenities in those gaps, and then identified areas along the interstates in which to add the charging stations. Then, they talked to major retailers and convenience stores like Allsups and 7-11 to see if they’d be interested in hosting more sites. The end result is that they just need to find specific host sites now in the blue areas on the map. This both answers federal questions while leaving the state with enough flexibility to finish the planning and installation.
Further down in the plan, they get less specific about where rural stations should go, but it’s both an ongoing process and a process that will have funds left over for those corridors.
All in all, it seems like a great plan.
But, People Just Don’t Understand What’s Going On Here
Looking at the state’s newspapers, it’s clear that New Mexicans (including journalists) just aren’t understanding what’s going on here. The complexity of federal funding, different phases of planning and execution (interstates followed by other routes), and that it’s dedicated funding just for EV charging is just too much for many New Mexicans to grasp.
The Facebook comments for these publications is a pretty good indicator that the EV charging plan is widely misunderstood (even if Facebook is usually a dumpster fire). Many commenters questioned whether it would be better for the state to spend the money on something else, like oil infrastructure or just giving more food to the poor. These people (and there are many of them) don’t know that the state has no choice in the matter. The funds have to be spent on EV charging, no matter what.
There were many other even more ignorant comments, like saying that there are already rolling blackouts in New Mexico (there aren’t), so we clearly can’t go adding EVs to the state’s grid. But, I don’t want to bore CleanTechnica readers will endless FUD that we’ve seen before a billion times.
What was more shocking was to see that the Associated Press picked up a commentary written by a staffer from a newspaper in Carlsbad, New Mexico, claiming that the state was prioritizing interstate EV charging over rural charging.
The article, entitled, “Will New Mexico’s rural areas get electric vehicle chargers? State plan focuses on cities,” had this to say:
New Mexico submitted its plan to spend $38 million of federal money on a statewide network of electrical vehicle chargers, planning to initially focus on urban centers where use of the vehicles is higher and then branching out to rural areas.
The funds were allocated through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act passed by Congress and signed by President Joe Biden last year and include the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure program that saw states applying for funds to increase electric vehicle use.
The federal government’s goal is to have 500,000 chargers installed by 2030.
In New Mexico, that means about 20 new stations will be built along interstate corridors and existing stations will be upgraded to Level 3 chargers that can fully charge a vehicle in about 30 to 45 minutes for less than $20, per a report from the Office of Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham.
The article goes on to point out that there’s a plan for rural charging, but they don’t explain that it’s a federal requirement to build out interstates first and then move on to rural highways and more. But, because the state is following federal law and using federal funds to build those stations first, they’re stirring up controversy claiming that the state doesn’t care about rural areas.
I don’t want to bash on my home state, but sometimes it’s hard not to. New Mexico is frequently #49 or #50 when it comes to state rankings for almost anything, except for bad things like drunk driving deaths, where we usually rank #1 or #2. That’s a hard hole to climb out of, and having other crabs in the bucket with you trying to pull you back into the bucket doesn’t help.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared a global health emergency for the recent monkeypox outbreak.
This is the most severe classification that can be administered by the global health body and it comes after a rise in global cases.
The WHO made the decisions following the end of the second meeting of their emergency committee that has been set up to deal with the virus.

Over 16,000 cases have been detected in around 75 countries according to WHO director Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
It has also been confirmed that there have been five deaths as a result of the Monkeypox outbreak, the BBC reports.

The WHO only has two other health emergencies - the attempt to eradicate polio and the coronavirus pandemic.
The decision to label the monkeypox outbreak a global health emergency was not unanimous as not all members of the committee agreed to take the step.
But Dr Tedros said that he felt it was appropriate as the outbreak had spread at pace around the globe.
He added that the modes of transmission which were still not well enough understood.
He said: "The WHO's assessment is that the risk of monkeypox is moderate globally and in all regions, except in the European region, where we assess the risk as high.”
It is believed that there is still too great a risk of the condition spreading around the world - even though the risk of interference with international traffic was seen as low.
The move is hoped to quicken the development of vaccines along with putting in place measures that would tackle the spread of the virus.
Advice will also be given to governments and health providers by the WHO with the aim of protecting those most at risk of catching Monkeypox.
Tedros added: "This is an outbreak that can be stopped with the right strategies in the right groups.”
Monkeypox was first discovered in central Africa in the 1950s.

NEW YORK (AP) — An estimated 17.7 million viewers watched Thursday night’s hearing of the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
The Nielsen Company said that is second to the 20 million who saw the first committee hearing on June 9, the only other one of the eight sessions held in prime time.
Ten networks aired this past week’s hearing live, down from the 11 that showed the June 9 session. The conservative network Newsmax dropped out this time.
The six daytime hearings average 11.2 million viewers, with a peak audience of 13.2 million on June 28, when ex-White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson testified about former President Donald Trump’s behavior.
An estimated 13.6 million of Thursday’s viewers, or 77 percent, were age 55 and older, Nielsen said. Only 705,000 viewers were 18 to 34.
MSNBC said the 4.7 million people who watched its coverage represented the network’s biggest prime-time audience since the night of the event that the committee is investigating.
Public hearings are expected to resume in September. | https://www.ktsm.com/news/politics/ap-politics/nielsen-says-17-7-million-watched-thursdays-jan-6-hearing/ | 2022-07-23T17:17:26Z | https://www.ktsm.com/news/politics/ap-politics/nielsen-says-17-7-million-watched-thursdays-jan-6-hearing/ | false | 26 |

“Passing by you see Mani in three days, walking in three months and to see its soul you need three lives. One for the sea, one for its mountains and one for its people,” wrote Patrick Lee Fermor, the British author who lived for many years and settled permanently in Mani where he died at the age of 96.
The historic region of the Peloponnese which includes the region between Mount Taygetos and Cape Matapan, also known as Tenaron, and was recognized as the “country of Magna-Hora of Mani” in 1824, referring to Magna Graecia – the sovereign Greece and the morale of the rebellious Greeks that will never be forgotten. This is the smallest sign of honor and gratitude for the contribution of the Maniates to the creation of the Greek State.
The vegetation-free image of the natural landscape of the Laconian Mani is a charming indication of its etymology, since in ancient Greek the word ‘manos’ means ‘stripped of vegetation.’
On the one side, the Bonelli’s eagles of the hills and on the other, the Peregrine falcon of the coast take a leading role in the memory of each individual image that the human mind can conceive.
The villages of Mani retain their traditional architecture and their special way of life. Nested among the rough mountain ranges, such as the much-photographed ‘Vathia’, beautiful and imposing, they wait to tell their own story to visitors.
Gytheio with its port and its unique architecture, Areopolis with its cobbled streets and its towers that have been declared monuments. The caves of Diros, Limeni opposite the Homeric Oitilo, Gerolimenas, Kotronas with its beaches and traditional architecture, Drymos, Porto Kagio, Laya, Cape Tenaron, and Kotronas are the sites to see in Eastern Mani.
Although today, Mani remains administratively divided into the municipalities of East Mani and West Mani, it retains its indivisibility and integrity.
Our show chose to spend the night at En Plo Suites in Karavostasi, Mani, where we were directly introduced to the warm hospitality, the luxury, the tradition, and the endless blue sea!
In fact, a little further on, in the fish tavern of a modern Black Pirate (‘Mavros Piratis’) – Nikos Doveas, among fresh fish, we cooked Maniatikos Lobster… the so-called Kolochtipa!
This blessed place whose peculiarity is the unique combination of the rock and the sea is not considered “the land of the olive tree” for nothing, since it is famous for its high quality oil production.
We were fortunate to experience the real dimensions of the highest quality production through Akra Morea and Mr. Kostas Christoforkis, owner and Product Manager of this company that literally adorns the science of oil production with gold medals worldwide.
Akra Morea and the premium class oil “Akra Morea Olive Oil” is located, not by chance, in Monemvasia, in the southeast of the Peloponnese. This oil is extracted at a temperature below 21 degrees C and filtered immediately. With an acidity of 0.21 and a polyphenol value of 439 mg/kg, this unique oil is considered one of the most exceptional oils in Greece!
Mr. Christoforakis, an engineer with training and many years of experience in production, talking about “friends and enemies” of oil (among them light, water, etc.) and the basic stages of quality production, explains in a simple and understandable way how we can recognize premium class olive oil:
“Mani used to be very densely forested, but the many fires, overgrazing and the hot and dry climate have contributed to the creation of a natural area that is bare and seemingly infertile. The plains near the coast are inhabited and cultivated, while the few mountain villages are built on stony, flat hills, with the necessary olive trees and vines. In the southern part of Mani, and particularly towards the Mesa Mani, the soil becomes stonier and the climate more rugged, and the crops are becoming increasingly scarce. However, the area is rich in plants, some of which grow nowhere else. Although the absence of forests is particularly noticeable, the loss is made up for by the presence of olive trees and the abundance of flowers.”
On the tiny beaches, with the transparent crystal clear waters shimmering with the grace of nature, the 600 summer swimmers of Oceanman [open water swimming races] who visited us from 34 countries around the world, seem to float in a liquid, turquoise universe… The Otilos!
Mr. Thanasis Papadimitriou, president of ‘EY ZHN’ and Mr. Armandos Linardos, race director of Oceanman Greece, welcomed us to the popular internationally renowned event, enriching us with knowledge and respect for the sea, love for the sport of swimming but also with an understanding of how the most ancient saying ‘EY ZHN’ can stand alongside modern Greece and its lands when we become capable of combining tourism, sport, health and well-being with simple actions… interaction between the different cultures!
Among the participating athletes was Christos Koromilas, President of Iona AMEA and member of the Board of Directors of the Lighthouse of the Blind of Greece, the Guide Dogs for the Blind of Greece, and the EAM AMEA (The Greek National Sports Federation for People with Disabilities).
One could say that the smiling and dynamic Christos Koromilas, a modern ‘Mavromichalis’ is a great ambassador of ‘EY ZHN’ and its teaching because through a single interview he managed to filter in our thoughts the true relation between life and water: human passion and emotion.
This passion, that knocked on his door 14 years ago, depriving him of one of the basic senses – sight, became “a vehicle for transporting positive energy from the mines of the heart to the jewels of visions.”
Hard stone-warm heart
This could be the age-old equation between the land and the soul of the Maniates. You see them, you hear them, you experience them standing proudly on the rocks of morality resisting any threat, any hijacking of human consciousness!

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — A juvenile boy has been charged with murder in the death of a 14-year-old girl in Maine, according to State Police.
Maine State Police said Saturday that detectives made an arrest in connection to the death of 14-year-old Brooke McLaughlin, of Mt. Vernon, Maine. State Police released few details, but did say that the two knew each other.
McLaughlin was found dead in her home Monday night. The Office of Chief Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide.
State Police detectives arrested a male juvenile from Maine and charged him with murder Saturday. He was taken to Long Creek Youth Development Center in South Portland.
The investigation is ongoing. State Police did not release the juvenile’s name or where in Maine he is from, or say what led police to him. | https://www.theridgefieldpress.com/news/article/Juvenile-charged-with-murder-in-the-death-of-a-17324518.php | 2022-07-23T17:24:15Z | https://www.theridgefieldpress.com/news/article/Juvenile-charged-with-murder-in-the-death-of-a-17324518.php | false | null |
No Marines or sailors were injured when one of the vehicles rolled onto its side Tuesday in waves that were unusually high because of a storm in the southern hemisphere. The other one became disabled when waves as high as 8-feet (2.4 meters) slammed the coastline.
The mishaps prompted troops to leap out of the vehicles and make their way to shore at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, north of San Diego. The mishaps were first reported by The San Diego Union-Tribune.
The new vehicles were introduced to replace Vietnam War-era amphibious assault vehicles, one of which was involved in one of Marine Corps' deadliest training accidents of its kind two years ago off Southern California's coast.
Lt. Gen. David J. Furness, the deputy commandant of the Marine Corps for plans, policies, and operations, said the officials decided to halt waterborne operations involving the newer vehicles as a precaution while an investigation is underway. The Marine Corps will continue using the vehicles for land operations.

"This is the right thing to do," Furness said in a statement. The effort will allow time to "ensure our assault amphibian community remains ready to support our nation," he added.
In the July 30, 2020 amphibious vehicle accident, eight Marines and one sailor died when the vehicle sank rapidly in 385 feet (117 meters) of water off San Clemente Island. Seven of the Marines were rescued.
A Marine Corps investigation found that inadequate training, shabby maintenance and poor judgment by leaders led to the sinking.
The Marines use the amphibious vehicles to transport troops and their equipment from Navy ships to land. The armored vehicles that have machine guns and grenade launchers look like tanks as they roll ashore for beach attacks, with Marines pouring out of them to take up positions. | https://abc7.com/marines-amphibious-vehicle-san-clemente-camp-pendleton/12069111/ | 2022-07-23T17:26:56Z | https://abc7.com/marines-amphibious-vehicle-san-clemente-camp-pendleton/12069111/ | false | 50 |
England and South Africa will face each other in the third ODI of their three-match series on Sunday, July 24. The series is tied at 1-1 and the winner of the game will clinch the series.
England suffered a 62-run defeat in the first game but bounced back to register a crushing 118-run win in the second ODI. South Africa will be disappointed to not have built on the momentum they gained after winning their first match.
England posted 201 runs on the board from 28.1 overs (29-overs-a-side contest due to rain). Although none of their batters could stay out there for long, they made quick and effective contributions with the bat.
South Africa had the hosts under trouble early on and even though they kept picking up wickets, they were unable to control the flow of runs throughout the innings.
Their batters had an outing to forget as they were skittled out for just 83, falling well short in the end. Both sides will need their key players to step up in this deciding ODI.
Going into the third ODI, here's a look at the three players you can pick as captain or vice-captain for your Dream11 side.
#3 Jonny Bairstow
Jonny Bairstow is an explosive batter who is a threat to any opposition. He has scored 91 runs from two matches in this series, including 63 runs in the first ODI. The right-handed batter has been in magnificent form across formats in the recent past.
Bairstow has scored 3634 runs from 94 ODIs at an average of 46.58 and a strike-rate of 104.12 with 11 hundreds and 15 half-centuries. The 32-year-old can score quickly and is a fantastic pick for captaincy.
#2 Rassie van der Dussen
Rassie van der Dussen struck a magnificent 117-ball 134 at a strike-rate of 114.53 in the first game. However, he failed to get going in the second game as he got out on a duck.
The 33-year-old has impressive stats in his one-day career so far, scoring 1499 runs from 37 games at an average of 71.38 with three centuries and 11 fifties. South Africa will expect him to make a comeback in the final game as they look to bounce back from a heavy defeat.
#1 Anrich Nortje
Anrich Nortje has been the lead pacer for South Africa this series in the absence of Kagiso Rabada. He has picked up six wickets from two matches, including four scalps in the first game.
The 28-year-old quick has accounted for 28 wickets from 14 ODIs at an average of 24.03 and a career economy-rate of 5.76. Nortje is a genuine wicket-taker and the Proteas will bank on him to deliver the goods in the series decider.
Q. Rassie van der Dussen to score another hundred?
Yes

Nick Saban has ‘caste-system’ warning with mega-conferences growing
Nick Saban acknowledges the creation of mega-conferences might not be in the best interest of college football, even if Alabama and the SEC figure to benefit from such top-heavy realignment.
“Mega-conferences will create more of a caste system, maybe, in college football, and everyone has to decide if that’s the direction we really want to go or not,” Saban said Tuesday on ESPN’s “Get Up.”
“At Alabama, we’re one of the haves. It’s probably a good thing. For some of the have-nots … maybe it won’t work out as well.”
Big 12 powerhouses Texas and Oklahoma announced last year that they were leaving their conference for the SEC in 2025, while USC and UCLA recently agreed to bolt the Pac-12 for the Big Ten in 2024. Alabama will face Texas on the road on Sept. 10, one week after opening its season at home against Utah State.
The 70-year-old Saban sparked headlines in May when he claimed that Texas A&M “bought every player” in its recruiting class with name, image and likeness (NIL) deals, prompting a strong denial from Aggies coach Jimbo Fisher, who labeled Saban as “despicable” and insisted his team broke “no rules.”
Saban later acknowledged that he regretted singling out Fisher, adding Tuesday that he now has “no issues” with his rival coach. He still believes the advent of NIL deals has contributed to “competitive balance issues” in college sports.
“The biggest concern is how does this impact and affect recruiting?” Saban said. “On the recruiting trail right now, there’s a lot of people using this as inducements to go to their school by making promises as to whether they may or may not be able to keep in terms of what players are doing.
“Everybody in college football cannot do these things relative to how they raise money in a collective or whatever, how they distribute money to players. Those are the concerns that I have in terms of how do we place guidelines around this so we can maintain a competitive balance?”
Alabama finished last season with a 13-2 record, losing to SEC rival Georgia, 33-18, in the national championship game in January. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2672837723345/nick-saban-has-caste-system-warning-with-mega-conferences-growing | 2022-07-23T17:29:12Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2672837723345/nick-saban-has-caste-system-warning-with-mega-conferences-growing | false | 3 |

(KTLA) – Knott’s Berry Farm in California will be implementing a new chaperone policy Friday, nearly a week after multiple fights broke out at the Buena Park theme park, officials announced.
All guests who are 17 or younger will need to be accompanied by a chaperone who is at least 21 to get into the park, officials detailed in their amended code of conduct.
The new policy will remain in effect on Fridays and Saturdays “until further notice.”
The chaperone will need to show a valid photo ID that includes their date of birth. One chaperone may accompany no more than three 17-or-under guests per day.
“Chaperones must accompany their party during entry, remain with their party at all times during their visit to the park, and be available by phone throughout their stay,” the code of conduct details. “Guests ages 17 years old or younger who are found inside the park unaccompanied by a chaperone will be subject to ejection.”
The new requirement will apply to all Knott’s Berry Farm and Knott’s Soak City Waterpark ticket and season passholders, officials said.
“A safe, family-friendly atmosphere of Knott’s is the type of experience our guests expect and deserve,” park officials explained. “This policy was put in place to ensure that all guests have the best time ever and leave happy and eager to visit again.”
The policy comes just days after a Saturday incident which forced the park to close three hours early, after multiple fights that broke out. Police did not detail those incidents, but indicated no shots were fired.
The theme park’s code of conduct already prohibits fighting or physical aggression of any kind, as well as offensive language or gestures, unruly or disruptive behavior and weapons of any kind. | https://www.news10.com/news/national/california-theme-park-to-require-chaperones-for-guests-17-and-under/ | 2022-07-23T17:40:33Z | https://www.news10.com/news/national/california-theme-park-to-require-chaperones-for-guests-17-and-under/ | true | 19 |
BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraq has filed a complaint to the U.N. Security Council, requesting an urgent session to discuss a deadly artillery attack this week that Baghdad blames on Turkey, the Foreign Ministry said Saturday.
Wednesday’s attack on the district of Zakho in Iraq’s northern, semi-autonomous Kurdish region killed nine Iraqi tourists, including a child, and wounded 20.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Ahmad al-Sahaf said the ministry also recalled Iraq's chargé d’affaires from Ankara. Iraq’s parliament held a session Saturday on the attack, with lawmakers deciding to form a committee to investigate further.
Turkey, which has several bases in northern Iraq and often conducts cross-border military operations there, says it’s targeting militants from the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party, or PKK. The group, declared a terrorist organization by Turkey and the West, has for decades waged an insurgency against the government in Ankara and maintains hideouts in Iraq's mountainous north.
And though Iraqi civilians, mostly local villagers, have been killed in past Turkish attacks, Wednesday marked the first time that tourists visiting the north from elsewhere in Iraq were killed.
Ankara has denied it was behind Wednesday's attack. Iraqi media reported that the Security Council session was due next Tuesday.
The recent escalation threatens to further erode ties between the two neighboring countries at a time when Iraq relies heavily on Turkish trade and negotiations are underway on water-sharing of the Tigris and Euphrates river basin.
Following the attack, angry Iraqis who took to the streets in protest and Baghdad summoned Turkey's ambassador to Iraq, handing over a “strongly worded" protest note, according to the foreign ministry. | https://www.thetelegraph.com/news/article/Iraq-submits-complaint-to-UN-against-Turkey-after-17324528.php | 2022-07-23T17:41:42Z | https://www.thetelegraph.com/news/article/Iraq-submits-complaint-to-UN-against-Turkey-after-17324528.php | false | 13 |
‘So, I Know Mo Is Very, Very Happy That We Found an Agreement.’ - Jurgen Klopp on Mohammed Salah Contract
Mohammed Salah penned a new three-year deal with Liverpool earlier this month, making him the club's highest-paid player in history, manager Jurgen Klopp has had his say on the impact of the deal on Salah.
As reported by The Athletic the Egyptian will earn around £400,000 per week at Liverpool, £180,000 more than the club's second-highest earner Virgil Van Djik. A deal Liverpool fans called out for after seeing Salah score 156 goals in just 254 games in all competitions for the side.
Speaking exclusively to the club's official site manager Jurgen Klopp was asked what he feels the effect of the new deal has had on Mo and the squad as a whole Liverpool "Well, you have to ask Mo that but he looks like he always looks: sharp, top fit, full of desire for success and working extremely hard, coming back extremely fit.

"Mo is like this. I’m not sure Mo needs a pre-season, he could start the season immediately. He needs it for the rhythm and all these kind of things but not from a physical point of view.
"He just has a talent in this department but he is working extremely hard as well. So, I know Mo is very, very happy that we found an agreement. We were his club before he signed a new contract, now we are definitely his club and that feels pretty good."

Girls lacrosse champs headline successful school year for Chartiers Valley sports
By:
Saturday, July 23, 2022 | 9:01 AM
There is change in the air on several fronts as Chartiers Valley’s athletic programs prepare for the 2022-2023 season.
However, this isn’t about looking ahead, this is about celebrating the success Colts teams enjoyed from this past school year.
“For me, success is defined differently for each program,” Chartiers Valley athletic director Mike Gavlik said. “The expectation is for teams to be better at the end of the season than they were in the beginning, play the game with respect and sportsmanship and be positive members of the school community.”
There were enough successes in 2021-2022 to allow Chartiers Valley to finish ninth out of 24 Class 5A schools in the annual Trib Cup, a yearlong competition to determine the top WPIAL sports program in each class based on points for playoffs berths as well as section, district and state championships.
The lone team championship for Chartiers Valley this past school year came in the spring, when the girls lacrosse team surprised many to win the program’s first WPIAL title.
“The girls lacrosse team winning the WPIAL championship was a great achievement,” Gavlik said. “The players and coach set the goal of winning the championship and worked to get better each game, and it all came together in the playoffs. There were some great individual achievements during the season, but their ability to play as a team was for me the key factor in their success.”
The Chartiers Valley girls basketball team did not win a championship, losing in both the WPIAL and PIAA finals, but its senior class left a legacy that may never be matched.
In the last four years, the Colts won 110 games (27.5 per season), three WPIAL championships, one PIAA title, one WPIAL and two PIAA runner-up trophies (a possible fourth state title was stopped by covid-19 in 2020) and put together a district and state record 64-game winning streak.
“In a word, remarkable,” Gavlik said. “To have six seniors contribute to the girls basketball program the way they did is something you may only see once in a career. All six seniors will play in college and all are better people than they are basketball players. It was a great run.”
Every school district deals with numerous offseason coaching changes each year, but two high profile spots were left vacant after the surprise departures of Dan Knauss from the football program after five years and Tim McConnell, who left after 29 years at Chartiers Valley, 25 with the boys team and the last four with the girls program.
“It is never easy to lose quality coaches and good people,” Gavlik said. “Although both will be missed, I am looking forward to the next chapters for football and girls basketball with Coach (Aaron) Fitzgerald and Coach (Mike) Semplice leading the way. Both programs are on solid ground, participation numbers have grown in football, and the transition with the new coaching staffs has been positive.”
Other Chartiers Valley programs that contributed to the Colts’ top 10 finish were boys basketball, baseball, boys tennis and boys track, as well as strong postseason showings by the girls cross country and softball teams.
“I think the strong senior leadership and dedicated coaching staffs of both the softball and cross country teams were essential to their success,” Gavlik said. “Both teams were very talented but also hard working, which is a great combination for success.”
Gavlik was asked if there was one moment that stood out from the successful 2021-2022 athletic season at Chartiers Valley.
“For me, the most memorable moment this past year will be our inaugural holiday toy drive that our Student Athlete Advisory Council led,” he said. “The outpouring of support by the school district, community, booster groups and other schools was truly amazing.
“One example of this was when we hosted our wrestling mega-scrimmage, Coach (Bill) Evans sent a note to all the coaches that were going to attend, and it was awesome to see how many toys were donated by all the schools. The number of families we were able to help was truly a memorable experience.”
Summer is a time for athletic directors to unwind and recharge before it all begins again with the start of the fall sports. Gavlik admits he’s already excited about what’s to come for Chartiers Valley athletics in 2022-2023.
“Every athletic school year brings a new excitement,” he said. “Our teams have been working hard in the offseason. It will be interesting to see how we fare as a lot of our teams have changed classifications or sections and that brings excitement in and of itself, with new opponents and new opportunities.”

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden likely contracted a highly contagious variant of the coronavirus spreading rapidly through the United States, and now has body aches and a sore throat since his positive test, according to an update from his doctor on Saturday.
The variant, known as BA.5, is an offshoot of the omicron strain that emerged late last year, and it’s believed to be responsible for the vast majority of coronavirus cases in the country.
Dr. Kevin O’Connor, the president’s physician, wrote in his latest update on Biden’s condition that Biden’s earlier symptoms, including a runny nose and a cough, have become “less troublesome.” O’Connor’s earlier notes did not mention the sore throat or body aches.
Biden’s vital signs, such as blood pressure and respiratory rate, “remain entirely normal,” and his oxygen saturation levels are “excellent” with “no shortness of breath at all,” the doctor wrote.
O’Connor said the results of the preliminary sequencing that indicated the BA.5 variant do not affect Biden’s treatment plan “in any way.”
Biden tested positive for the virus on Thursday morning. He has been isolating in the White House residence since then. Administration officials have emphasized that his symptoms are mild because he has received four vaccine doses, and he started taking the antiviral drug Paxlovid after becoming infected.
During a virtual meeting with economic advisers on Friday, Biden was hoarse but insisted, “I feel much better than I sound.”
In his previous update on Biden’s health, O’Connor said the president had an elevated temperature of 99.4 F on Thursday evening, but it returned to normal after taking Tylenol. | https://www.courant.com/nation-world/ct-aud-nw-biden-highly-contagious-covid-strain-20220723-g4m22vbsnnd3rgbr5mclkhobcu-story.html | 2022-07-23T17:49:16Z | https://www.courant.com/nation-world/ct-aud-nw-biden-highly-contagious-covid-strain-20220723-g4m22vbsnnd3rgbr5mclkhobcu-story.html | true | 23 |

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.”

Hunter Biden makes rare public outing amid investigation
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Hunter BidenJoe Biden's son
- Joe Biden46th president of the United States since 2021
Hunter Biden appeared in public in Malibu, California, with wife Melissa Cohen and their son Beau Thursday after news broke that the outcome of an investigation into his finances had reached a "critical stage."
Hunter Biden has made few public appearances since his father Joe Biden won the presidency in 2020 and assumed the Oval Office.
His family outing in Malibu comes on the heels of speculation around the investigation into his finances and foreign business dealings.
Hunter Biden has been under federal investigation since 2018, according to a source familiar with the matter.
The federal investigation into the first son's tax affairs has reached a "critical stage," a source previously told Fox News. Officials are looking into whether to charge President Biden's son with various tax violations, possible foreign lobbying violations and more.
A separate source told Fox News that the federal grand jury looking into Hunter Biden’s business dealings wrapped up its latest term late last month but said no charges have been filed.
The investigation is being conducted by Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, a prosecutor appointed by former President Donald Trump.
Fox News first reported in December 2020 that Hunter Biden was a subject/target of a grand jury investigation, according to a well-placed government source. According to the source, a "target" means that there is a "high probability that person committed a crime," while a "subject" is "someone you don’t know for sure has committed a crime."
The federal investigation into Hunter Biden was prompted, in part, by Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) regarding suspicious foreign transactions.

Sensex, Nifty Extend Rally Led By Banks
(RTTNews) - Indian shares extended gains for a sixth consecutive session on Friday, as falling oil prices helped offset recession worries.
The benchmark S&P BSE Sensex climbed 390.28 points, or 0.70 percent, to 56,072.23 despite mixed global cues.
The broader NSE Nifty index ended the session up 114.20 points, or 0.69 percent, at 16,719.45.
UltraTech Cement soared 4.9 percent on strong earnings, while HDFC, HDFC Bank, UPL and Grasim rallied 2-3 percent.
Among the losers, BPCL, Power Grid Corp, NTPC, Infosys and Tata Consumer Products dropped 1-2 percent.
Global cues were mixed as worse-than-expected second-quarter results from Snap Plc and weak European business activity data added to worries of a possible recession.
The rupee was little changed in the afternoon after the latest exchange data compiled by Bloomberg showed that overseas investors have bought a net $1 billion of local stocks in the first three days of this week.
Reserve Bank Governor Shaktikanta Das today said the Indian currency is holding up relatively well when compared to the currencies of emerging market peers and advanced economies.

(iSeeCars) – The latest iSeeCars.com analysis found the fastest-selling new car during the month of June was the Subaru Crosstrek on a list that is predominantly comprised of small SUVs. The fastest-selling used car is the Tesla Model Y, topping a list that is dominated by alternative-fuel vehicles.
Analyzing over 224,000 new and used cars sold in June 2022, iSeeCars.com found that overall, the average new car takes 37.2 days to sell and the average used car takes 52.1 days to sell. Both new and used cars took longer to sell in June compared with May, when new cars took 33.1 days to sell and used cars took 50.4 days.
Used car prices increased 10.5 percent in June over last year and also increased slightly over last month with the average used car price in June costing $34,154 compared to $34,119 in May.
“Both new and used car prices rose in June over May as inventory constraints continue to plague the new and used car market,” said iSeeCars Executive Analyst Karl Brauer. “Rising interest rates and high gas prices have also heightened demand for more efficient and affordable vehicles.”
Fastest-Selling New Cars
iSeeCars identified the top 20 fastest-selling new cars, which sell 1.4 to 2.9 times faster than the average new vehicle and average 21.0 days on dealers’ lots. Small SUVs comprise the majority of the top 20 list, with 13 vehicles. Of the small SUVs, three are hybrids.
The fastest-selling new car is the Subaru Crosstrek, which takes 12.9 days to sell. It’s joined by three additional Subarus including the Forester compact SUV, the Impreza compact car, and the Outback compact sports wagon. “The 2022 Subaru Crosstrek subcompact SUV has soared in popularity and had a 66.4 percent increase in sales over June 2021, and the Impreza compact car had a 28.2 percent sales increase,” said Brauer. “Conversely, the Forester and Outback, which are typically Subaru’s most popular models, saw a sales decline in the wake of inventory challenges.”
Two Honda vehicles make the list including the second-ranked Civic compact car and the fourth-ranked CR-V compact SUV. “Honda is among automakers with the tightest inventory, and June sales of the Honda Civic and Honda CR-V decreased 54 percent and 45 percent respectively compared to last year,” said Brauer. “The demand for the popular small sedan and crossover is likely exacerbated by high gas prices as demand outpaces supply.”
Three Toyotas make the list including the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid compact SUV, the Toyota Camry midsize sedan, and the Toyota Highlander midsize SUV. “Demand has been high for Toyota’s fuel-efficient and hybrid vehicles, especially the RAV4 Hybrid, which had its highest sales ever for the first half of 2022,” said Brauer. “Overall, Toyota continues to struggle with inventory issues as June sales were down 17.9 percent compared to last year.”
Four vehicles from Kia-Hyundai made the list, including the Kia Telluride midsize SUV, the Kia Forte compact car, the Hyundai Tucson Hybrid compact SUV, and the Kia Sportage compact SUV. “The Kia Sportage had all-time record sales in June, the perennially popular Kia Telluride saw year over year gains despite Kia’s tight inventory levels, and a renewed interest in small affordable cars led to low inventory levels for the Kia Forte,” said Brauer. “Hyundai is also facing inventory challenges with a 13 percent decrease in June sales compared to last year, with demand for the fuel-efficient Tucson Hybrid SUV outpacing supply.”
Two recently-released small SUVs make the list including the Ford Bronco compact off-road SUV and the subcompact Chevrolet Trailblazer. “The Ford Bronco is in such high demand that dealerships stopped taking retail orders for the vehicles for the 2022 model year,” said Brauer. “General Motors changed its ordering method for the popular Trailblazer to speed up the ordering process in an effort to keep up with consumer demand for this affordable and fuel-efficient SUV.”
An additional subcompact SUV, the Nissan Kicks also makes the list. “Sales of the Nissan Kicks are down 28.2 percent over last year, and demand for the small and affordable SUV is outweighing available supply.”
Both the gasoline version and the hybrid version of the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited make the list. “Jeep’s second quarter sales were down 11 percent over last year due to inventory constraints, but the Jeep Wrangler Hybrid is the best-selling plug-in hybrid in the country,” said Brauer.
Two luxury SUVs round out the list: the compact BMW X3 and the midsize Mercedes-Benz GLE. “Supply constraints have impacted sales of the BMW X3 and raised demand for available models, as the vehicle had a 12.1 percent sales decline in the second quarter of 2022 compared to last year,” said Brauer. “The Mercedes-Benz GLE was Mercedes’ second-highest seller in the second quarter of 2022, but it had a sales decline of 13.5 percent compared to last year.”
Fastest-Selling Used Vehicles
iSeeCars also analyzed the top 20 fastest-selling used vehicles. The average used car takes 52.1 days to sell, while the top 20 fastest-selling vehicles average 31.7 days and sell 1.4 to 2 times faster than the average used vehicle. The list of fastest-selling used vehicles is evenly split between alternative-fuel vehicles and gasoline vehicles.
The fastest-selling used vehicle is the Tesla Model Y electric crossover, which takes an average 24.9 days to sell. It’s joined by two additional Tesla Models, the Model 3 and the Model X. “The earliest delivery time for a new Tesla Model Y is January 2023 for the base model and August 2022 for the performance version, which is further elevating the demand for the used versions that just entered the used car marketplace,” said Brauer. “The Model X and Model 3 have waitlists for their new versions as well, which include April 2023 for the base Model X and October 2022 for the base Model 3.”
An additional electric vehicle, the Ford Mustang Mach-E, also makes the list. “The Ford Mustang Mach-E has been in high demand since it debuted in 2021, and Ford recently stopped taking orders for new versions of the Mach-E after wait times exceeded 32 weeks,” said Brauer.
Six hybrid vehicles make the list including the Toyota Prius Prime plug-in hybrid, the Toyota Highlander Hybrid, the Ford F-150 Hybrid, the Honda Accord Hybrid, and the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. “Just as in the new car marketplace, hybrid and plug-in hybrids are hot sellers as fuel prices continued to skyrocket in June,” said Brauer.
Three luxury vehicles make the list, including the Acura ILX, the Audi A4, the Land Rover Range Rover Velar, and the Audi Q3. “Demand for fuel-efficient small luxury SUVs and luxury sedans has also increased in the wake of high gas prices,” said Brauer.
Two sporty cars make the list including the Chevrolet Camaro convertible and the Subaru WRX compact sports sedan. “The Chevrolet Camaro and the Subaru WRX are relatively affordable performance cars that still offer reasonable fuel efficiency compared to many performance models,” said Brauer.
Four passenger cars round out the list: the Mazda MAZDA3 compact car, the Kia K5 midsize sedan, the Honda Civic compact car, and the Chevrolet Spark subcompact hatchback. “The Kia K5 was new for the 2021 model year, and demand for new versions has steadily risen, causing new models to be consistently priced above MSRP,” said Brauer. “The Mazda MAZDA3 and the Honda Civic are popular with shoppers who want a relatively affordable and fuel-efficient used car amid current used car price hikes, while the Chevrolet Spark is one of the lowest-priced used cars available.”
“New car inventory is expected to remain tight through 2022 as microchip shortages persist and as automakers struggle to meet pent-up demand,” said Brauer. “New and used car shoppers should act quickly if they see their desired vehicle for sale, and buyers will likely need to be flexible on color and trim options for in-demand models.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Jay Carney, the top policy and communications executive at Amazon and one-time White House spokesman, has been named the head of policy at Airbnb, marking another high-profile departure for Amazon as it faces a shifting consumer landscape and heightened regulatory scrutiny.
Carney, who served as the press secretary for President Barack Obama, will join Airbnb’s executive team and work with co-founder and CEO Brian Chesky, the San Francisco-based home-sharing company said in a Friday blog post.
“Jay has worked at the highest levels of both government and technology, serving as a strategic counselor to the President, and at one of the largest tech companies in the world,” Chesky said in the post.
Carney will join Airbnb in September in Washington, D.C.
In an email sent Friday to the company’s senior leadership team, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy thanked Carney for “his many significant accomplishments,” including helping the company “build a strong set of capabilities in Public Policy and PR.”
Seattle-based Amazon has seen string of departures since Jassy, who previously ran the company’s cloud-computing unit AWS, succeeded founder Jeff Bezos as CEO last summer. At least half of Jassy’s tenure has been marked by headaches over the glut of warehouses the company acquired during the pandemic. He’s pledged to bring profitability back to the company and is reported to have a more hands-on approach to the role.
This month, Dave Clark, the chief executive of Amazon’s consumer business who oversaw a mass expansion of Amazon’s logistics footprint, left the company after 23 years. Clark, who will join the logistics startup Flexport in September, was replaced by Doug Herrington, another executive who helped launch Amazon Fresh in 2017. Two of the company’s most senior Black leaders, Alicia Boler Davis and David Bozeman, also left last month, leaving Amazon’s elite senior leadership group, or “S-team,” without any Black members.
Carney started with Amazon seven years ago and ran the company’s global corporate affairs organization, reporting directly to the CEO. He was White House press secretary from 2011 to 2014 after serving as director of communications for then Vice President Joe Biden. At Amazon, he oversaw policy and public relations, focusing on the company’s relationship with lawmakers and the White House. In the role, he took a more combative posture, sometimes taking on members of the media and lawmakers critical of the company.
“Everything about my time at Amazon has exceeded my expectations, and I will forever be grateful to my colleagues in GCA, on Steam and across the businesses for their guidance, support and friendship over the years,” Carney wrote to his team Friday in an email that was obtained by The Associated Press.
His departure comes amid increasing scrutiny on Amazon from Washington. Antitrust regulators at the Federal Trade Commission have been investigating Amazon’s business practices. The agency has reviewed Amazon’s recently completed $8.5 billion buyout of Hollywood studio MGM and retains the discretion to challenge it.
On Thursday, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., who heads the Senate Judiciary antitrust panel, urged the FTC to investigate Amazon’s newly announced planned $3.9 billion acquisition of One Medical, raising concern over the retail giant’s past conduct and the deal’s potential implications for consumers’ health data.
Amazon’s e-commerce empire is estimated to control 50% to 70% of online market sales. Some independent merchants who sell products on Amazon.com have complained about the company’s practices, such as contract provisions said to prevent sellers from offering their products at lower prices or on better terms on any other online platform, including their own websites.
In its defense, Amazon has said that sellers set their own prices for the products they offer on its platform.
Landmark legislative proposals pending in Congress have raised the issue of a possible forced spinoff of Amazon’s private-label products that compete with vendors on the platform. The legislation has cleared key committees in both houses of Congress but has languished for months as prospects for votes by the full Senate or House have dimmed. For its part, Amazon has pushed back on the bill.
Jassy said in the email to the company’s leadership the search for Carney’s replacement will begin immediately.

ENTERTAINERS
Netherlands boss Mark Parsons is still waiting for his team to deliver the kind of high octane performance that won them this tournament in 2017. Even if they haven't dominated games as yet they've been involved in some crackers so far, with their wins over Portugal and Switzerland both in the balance late in the piece.

The Dutch have been busy too. They lost Lieke Martens to injury this week, and have made a few changes in their front three. Vivienne Miedema returns to the team after a bout of Covid-19, and is joined up to by Victoria Pelova, who turned in a sensational cameo against Sweden last weekend to help Netherlands advance to the last eight.

AQA union staff to stage 72 hour strike that could affect the delivery of GCSE and A Level results
Strike dates set after exam board fails on pay, says UNISON
Staff at exam board AQA are to stage a 72-hour walkout that could affect the delivery of thousands of GCSE and A-level results, UNISON said today (Friday).
The employees, including those involved in organising the awarding of grades, will walk out for three days from Friday 29 to Sunday 31 July in a dispute over pay.
The action is likely to escalate unless AQA bosses re-open talks, says UNISON.
Many of the 180 staff affected say they’re struggling to make ends meet following successive below-inflation pay awards.
Last year they were given an increase of 0.6%. This year they’ve been offered 3%, another real-terms pay cut, with inflation currently 9.4% and predicted to go up even further, says the union.
The workers have been warned they could be sacked and rehired on inferior contracts if they don’t accept the offer.
UNISON North West regional organiser Lizanne Devonport said: “Workers at AQA have been left with no other option. Pay has been falling behind prices for years and 3% isn’t a wage rise, with costs spiralling it’s a pay cut. Things are so bad staff are fearful they’ll no longer be able to make ends meet.
“Workers only strike as a last resort. They’d rather be doing the jobs that they’re proud of. They don’t want to disrupt students and know how important exam results are to them.
“UNISON membership is growing and our message to AQA is clear – improve the offer or face further action.”
One AQA worker said:
“The wider public don’t necessarily get to see the work that goes on behind the scenes, but we delivered an exemplary service that was required even during the pandemic, and don’t think that is being fairly rewarded. We don’t want to disadvantage candidates. We value them and want them to succeed. But we have been trying to get a fair deal for months and have not been listened to.”
Another said: “We’re being pressured to sign a contract without knowing what’s in it. AQA isn’t even prepared to come back to the table to negotiate. It’s making me want to leave. AQA doesn’t care about the well-being of its staff. The strike will hurt me financially but I’m willing to do that because this deal is so poor.”

Who does Ramona Singer know in Ibiza?
The Real Housewives of New York alum Ramona Singer flaunted her slender figure as she enjoyed the Spanish party island of Ibiza.
Ramona raised a flute of champagne as the youthful-looking reality TV star posed aboard a yacht.
Ramona wore gold-rimmed aviator sunglasses to protect her eyes from harmful sun rays. She rocked her blonde hair in a half-up and half-down style with a topknot on her head.
Ramona wore a swimsuit by celeb-favorite designer Melissa Odabash. Ramona rocked a ribbed one-piece in the color blush, with a lace-up front that showed a bit of cleavage.
The timeless beauty displayed her tanned and slender legs as she struck a pose aboard the boat. The post was Ramona’s latest from her Spanish vacation with girlfriends, which appeared to be full of boats, booze, and beaches.
Ramona Singer poses in swimsuit in Ibiza
The 65-year-old beauty showed that fun could be had at any age as she attended a Calvin Harris concert and shared footage of the event on her Instagram Story.
She wore chunky gold bracelets on both wrists and sported a fresh, light-colored mani/pedi.
She wrote in the caption, “Livin’ my best life! 🍾⚓️🌊.”
Her partner-in-crime, Sonja Morgan, showed love for the picture and wrote, “AhmazIng.”
Meanwhile, a Bravo fan account invited Ramona to enjoy turtle time, a reference to Ramona’s Pinot Grigio-fueled partying.
While Ramona was living the good life, she did not reveal any secret information, like wedding details, as she previously spilled the tea regarding RHONJ star Teresa Giudice’s August nuptials.
Ramona Singer reveals Teresa Giudice’s wedding information
Ramona Singer accidentally leaked private information about Teresa Giudice’s upcoming wedding to Luis Ruelas, when the RHONY star shared a wedding invitation on social media. While Ramona meant to convey excitement, she shared details about Teresa’s wedding that were supposed to be secret.
Ramona spoke with Jeff Lewis about her faux pas and said she was not sure she would attend Teresa’s wedding due to embarrassment. She shared, “I don’t know. I have yet to pick up the phone to speak to Teresa because I’m so embarrassed about what happened. I will find out later what’s gonna go on.”
She continued, “I’m still invited, I don’t think I got disinvited.”
Meanwhile, an understanding Teresa shared, “I think it was an honest mistake.”

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — A man was killed and six others wounded in a shooting that broke out early Saturday in the Seattle suburb of Renton, police said.
Officers found the people who had been wounded in the shooting along with “a large agitated” crowd after callers told police shortly before 1 a.m. that shots had been fired in the downtown area, the Renton Police Department tweeted.
Fire personnel and officers were trying to treat a badly wounded 32-year-old Tacoma man but the crowd forced them to move him to a “more secure location,” police said in a statement. The man died.
Six other people went to hospitals with gunshot injuries, police said.
Residents told police they heard an argument before the shooting, police said, but it’s unclear what led to the argument and no arrests have been made. | https://www.centralillinoisproud.com/news/national/1-dead-5-wounded-after-multiple-shots-fired-in-renton/ | 2022-07-23T19:02:02Z | https://www.centralillinoisproud.com/news/national/1-dead-5-wounded-after-multiple-shots-fired-in-renton/ | true | null |
But some truckers said protests may resume on Monday when normal port traffic is scheduled.
"Protests are scheduled for Monday to Friday, as the port also does not have any major operations scheduled through the weekend," Bill Aboudi, owner of a trucking company and supporter of the protests, told Reuters.
The Port of Oakland's four marine terminals do not have scheduled operating hours on Saturday and the truck gates, too remain shut, Oakland Port's spokesperson confirmed to Reuters.
However, Oakland Port spokesperson also said operation of the terminals is leased out to companies that schedule their operations and may have been carrying out some shipping operations on Saturday morning.
Oakland International Container Terminal (OICT) is the largest, handling about 70% of the port's cargo. It is operated by SSA Marine, who did not immediately respond to Reuters request for a comment, outside of business hours.
"If the protests will resume or not on Monday, that shall be determined on Monday only as the truckers are in active talks with the concerned authorities," Aboudi said.
Operations at the Northern California port ground to a near standstill last week after protesters used pickets and tractor-trailers to block terminal gates. Work on ships and docks slowed after cargo flows stopped and hundreds of International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) members declined to cross blockade lines for safety reasons.
The Port of Oakland is a key hub for California's $20 billion-plus agriculture exports, which include almonds, dairy products and wine. The eighth-busiest U.S. container seaport, which also handles imports like coffee, electronics and manhole covers, was already working to clear a pandemic-fueled cargo backup before the trucker protests began.
Independent truck drivers are opposed to California's labor law formally known as AB5. It would make it harder for companies to classify workers as independent contractors.
Truckers say the law will require them to spend thousands of dollars on insurance and equipment rentals like chassis to remain independent.
"AB5 is everything that obstructs a small truck business owner's ambition to live the 'American Dream,'" Aboudi said.

Winners of just two of their last 18 games, the Washington Nationals will turn to 38-year-old right-hander Anibal Sanchez to start Saturday night’s game against the Arizona Diamondbacks in Phoenix.
It will be just the second start since Sept. 26, 2020, for Sanchez (0-1, 7.20 ERÅ), who sat out the 2021 season and then missed the first 3 1/2 months of this campaign with a cervical nerve impingement in his neck.
One of the key cogs on Washington’s 2019 World Series winning team, Sanchez gave up a two-run homer to both Dansby Swanson and rookie Michael Harris II in a 5-4 loss to Atlanta on July 14. He allowed four runs on as many hits and two walks over five innings while striking out five.
“For two years off, I feel really good,” Sanchez said afterward. “The Braves right now are a pretty hard team. I made two mistakes, and they took advantage of them.”
Sanchez, who is 112-114 in his career, admitted to feeling butterflies in taking the mound for the first time since 2020.
“I had a few years that I didn’t feel that, but today, just everything came back,” he told MLB.com. “For me, it’s being competitive again. That’s the adrenaline. It made me feel good today.”
Sanchez is 5-1 with a 4.13 ERA in 11 career games (10 starts) against Arizona but one win in particular stands out. That came in his rookie season with the then-Florida Marlins on Sept. 6, 2006, when he tossed a no-hitter against the Diamondbacks.
Left-hander Madison Bumgarner (5-9, 3.83) will start for Arizona, which cruised to a 10-1 victory in Friday night’s series opener.
Bumgarner is just 4-6 in 12 career starts against the Nationals but has a solid 2.45 ERA. He picked up the loss in a 6-1 setback at Washington on April 19 but allowed just two unearned runs on two hits over five innings while walking four and striking out five.
Both Sanchez and Bumgarner have a high standard to meet after Arizona’s Zac Gallen tossed 5 2/3 no-hit innings and allowed just two singles over seven scoreless frames on Friday. Cesar Hernandez broke up the no-hit bid with a soft comebacker that deflected off Gallen’s glove and landed between the mound and second base.
“I think it was all about Zac Gallen and his start +Friday),” Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said. “Was looking like he could potentially throw a no-hitter. I was probably the most satisfied person when he did give up that hit. It was a very stressful time for me. We were talking about potential pitch counts and he had good stuff. It obviously showed up during those seven innings. Seven strikeouts and two hits, he set a tone for us.”
The Diamondbacks also racked up 12 hits, including a homer and triple by Ketel Marte and a homer and three hits by Daulton Varsho. Carson Kelly added three hits and a walk.
“We’ve got to keep grinding, we’ve got to keep going,” Lovullo said. “We played a good game but it’s one game. We’ve got to enjoy it, we’ve got to understand what we did right, and continue to keep pressing on. Tomorrow will be a brand-new day where I expect us to do it all over again.”

TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) — Small but loud demonstrations took place Saturday in the Tunisian capital of Tunis ahead of a referendum Monday on President Kais Saied’s proposed new constitution — a document that critics say helps him legitimize his power grab, which they call “a coup.”
On Saturday, a few hundred people marched on Bourguiba Avenue, the capital’s main artery, to denounce the proposals to change the constitution to augment presidential powers and reduce the role of parliament and the prime minister. In sometimes violent clashes with police, about 10 people were arrested.
Protester Faouzi Ben Brahim told The Associated Press that “people have come together today because they are aware of the dangers of the referendum, which intends to put in place a constitution of an autocratic president who does not recognize or respect institutions and does not intend to be accountable.”
Another protester held a banner reading “No to a constitution of intimidation, no to a constitution of the fait accompli.”
Saied suspended parliament last year and seized broad powers in a move that he said was necessary to “save the country” from a political and economic crisis. This prompted criticism from the opposition, which accuses him of shunning democracy and sliding the North African country toward totalitarianism. | https://ktla.com/news/nationworld/ap-international/tunisians-protest-proposed-constitution-call-it-a-coup/ | 2022-07-23T19:07:18Z | https://ktla.com/news/nationworld/ap-international/tunisians-protest-proposed-constitution-call-it-a-coup/ | false | 21 |

Telangana governor comes to rescue of AP IPS officer on board flight
Amaravati
Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan discharged her duties as a doctor and saved the life of an Additional Director General of Police-rank IPS officer onboard an Indigo airlines flight from Delhi to Hyderabad.
Kripanand Tripathi Ujela, a 1994-batch officer, is now undergoing treatment in a hospital in Hyderabad after being diagnosed with dengue fever.
“Madam Governor saved my life. She helped me like a mother. Otherwise, I could not have made it to the hospital,” Ujela told PTI over phone from Hyderabad on Saturday.
Ujela, who belongs to the Andhra Pradesh cadre, is currently posted as Additional DGP (Road Safety).
The Governor, who is a doctor by profession, attended to the IPS officer after he complained of uneasiness during the flight to the Telangana capital around Friday midnight.
“My heart rate at that time was just 39 when Madam Governor measured it. She advised me to bend forward and helped me relax, which stabilised my breathing,” Ujela said.
Upon landing in Hyderabad, he directly went to a hospital where a series of tests were conducted on him.
He was diagnosed with dengue and his platelets count dropped to 14,000.
“Had Madam Governor not been on that flight, I could not have made it. She gave me a new life,” Ujela said, expressing his gratitude to Soundararajan. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/telangana-governor-comes-to-rescue-of-ap-ips-officer-on-board-flight-101658601386864.html | 2022-07-23T19:12:46Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/telangana-governor-comes-to-rescue-of-ap-ips-officer-on-board-flight-101658601386864.html | false | 7 |

When Disney reopens its Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique shops at resorts in Florida and California next month, the workers who help children dress up as their favorite animated characters will have new, more gender inclusive titles.
The workers will be referred to as Fairy Godmother’s Apprentices instead of Fairy Godmothers-in-Training, as they were called before the shops closed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique shops at Walt Disney World in Florida and Disneyland in California are scheduled to reopen at the end of August after being closed for two years, according to a Disney blogpost.
Workers at the shops provide hairstyling, makeup, costumes and accessories to help children between ages 3 and 12 transform into their favorite characters. | https://kdvr.com/news/entertainment/ap-entertainment/more-inclusive-titles-for-workers-at-disney-dress-up-shops/ | 2022-07-23T19:14:37Z | https://kdvr.com/news/entertainment/ap-entertainment/more-inclusive-titles-for-workers-at-disney-dress-up-shops/ | false | null |
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Bailey Rose is ready to start school and just like many other kids across the state, she is getting all of the necessary vaccines and checkups she will need to attend.
“I want to go to kindergarten right now,” she said.
From now through the beginning of the school year, Christ Community Health Services is hosting back-to-school immunization fairs to help students get their updated vaccinations for free.
“All of the required vaccines that the children need to start back to school that they require, we are offering those, physicals, along with the COVID vaccines,” Gwen Reese said.
Reese, director of Nursing Christ Community Health Services, also said they have other resources.
“We have pediatricians on staff, nutritionists, social workers, and behavioral health,” she said. “So we are here to help those families be prepared for a successful school year.”
The fair was held at East High School Saturday. The facility will be holding vaccination fairs at different locations through August.
Sight supervisor Lashonna Payne said this can be beneficial to many parents.
“That’s one thing at Christ Community that we try to do is serve those who don’t have those resources,” Payne said. “We have a lot of parents that come in and are excited that we are here because we have many sights, but sometimes they come in and they are overbooked.”
Not only are they offering free vaccinations, but they are also offering free physicals for students who will be participating in sports.
“Before any sports, I think they should come in and have a complete work up,” Payne said.
Christ Community Health Services have nine more vaccination dates available. However, you must book an appointment before you go.
Call (901)-842-2379 or text SCS901 to 91999 to schedule your appointment. | https://wreg.com/news/local/shots-for-school-heres-where-you-can-get-them-for-free/ | 2022-07-23T19:15:49Z | https://wreg.com/news/local/shots-for-school-heres-where-you-can-get-them-for-free/ | true | 1 |

Gabriel Jesus will not be bullied in the Premier League next season and wants Arsenal to be tougher
It took less than 90 minutes for well-known allegations to surface: Arsenal are soft. They can be bullied.
“New season, same old story,” said Jamie Carragher during their defeat to Brentford on the opening day of the 2021-2022 season.
A year later, Gabriel Jesus took all 90 seconds of this US tour to suggest that he help turn the tide.
Gabriel Jesus wants his new side to be hard after historically labeling it as a ‘soft’ side
It was the attacker’s first start after a £45 million transfer from Manchester City, the opening clash of Arsenal’s friendly against Everton. Jesus got caught up in Yerry Mina in the area and when the defender tried to protect the ball, the Brazilian dropped him to the ground.
It doesn’t matter that Mina, a former teammate, towers eight inches above Jesus. Never mind that this had to be The Charm City Match.
“Sometimes the defenders kick you so hard, your reaction is to kick too,” Jesus said.
Gabriel Jesus claims his move to Arsenal was ‘the best decision’ he could have made this summer
“Always in my life I try to be calm, focus on the game, because anything can happen.” But? ‘In the end, sometimes it’s also something I have to do.
“Sometimes they almost broke my leg and the referee said no and laughed in my face. Sometimes the referee has to protect the attackers.’ Unfortunately, help is not always available. “So sometimes we protect ourselves.”
Against Everton, the 25-year-old did more, scoring one goal and creating another as Arsenal kicked off the tour that ended against Chelsea on Saturday night.
The 25-year-old has scored three goals in his first three appearances for Mikel Arteta’s side
“I played with Mina before in Palmeiras and we were so close, and after I – I don’t know why – he started touching me, squeezing me in the chest and then talking shit,” Jesus added . .
“I’m not a kid anymore and went straight to him.” His words will go down well in North London. And with manager Mikel Arteta, who has admitted Arsenal need more street savvy.
That helps explain why he wanted Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko, another summer signing from former club City who Arteta says will add more ‘edge’ to his roster.
But there is also their quality. The tenacity, sharpness and ingenuity of Jesus already seem to have kicked Arsenal’s attack into high gear. His goal is three in as many pre-season games.
Arsenal’s new No 9 and No 11 sit and chat on their bikes as they continue to prepare for the season
“I don’t want to be the main man here, I don’t want to be a superstar,” Jesus insisted this week. That can prove difficult.
One way to share the spotlight is to share the burden: Against both Nurnberg and Orlando City, Jesus played alongside fellow forward Eddie Nketiah and Arteta is eager to nurture their partnership.
“It was so nice to play with him,” Jesus said. “Eddie has a lot of quality – he holds the ball, he is stronger, he spins. He is very good and he is still young. I am too.’
Only 25, and already an elderly statesman at Arsenal. For others in Arteta’s young squad, Jesus can be an invaluable source of advice.
The 25-year-old Brazilian is lavish in his praise for some of Arsenal’s youngsters
“I’m not like that, because I’ve experienced something that the young people haven’t experienced, I want to talk,” he said. “I just show in training by working hard and that’s it. If they want to come and talk to me, they can.’
Chelsea allegedly tried to hijack Arsenal’s deal for the Brazilian. But in the end, the attacker opted for Europa League football. Why?
“When we started talking about the transfer, it was with Edu and that’s when I knew Mikel wanted me,” Jesus explained. “They showed me the project and then they showed me some stuff about my stats and I was so surprised.”
Arteta has proven to be a valuable negotiating tool in potential signing negotiations. “I’ve worked with him at City, so I know him a little bit,” Jesus said. “He has helped me a lot to improve my finish after training.”
Now Jesus is aiming for more trophies with his new side. They may not come easy, but the Brazilian has already shown that he is ready for the scrap | https://whatsnew2day.com/gabriel-jesus-will-not-be-bullied-in-the-premier-league-next-season-and-wants-arsenal-to-be-tougher/ | 2022-07-23T19:29:44Z | https://whatsnew2day.com/gabriel-jesus-will-not-be-bullied-in-the-premier-league-next-season-and-wants-arsenal-to-be-tougher/ | true | 1 |

Lee Zeldin's alleged attacker hit with federal assault charge
The man who allegedly attacked Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.) during a campaign event on Thursday and then was released from police custody was re-arrested Saturday on a federal assault charge, Fox News reports.
Driving the news: David Jakubonis, who was initially arrested and charged with second-degree attempted assault on Thursday, was due in court Saturday for the new, more serious charge.
Catch up fast: Jakubonis, 43, climbed on the stage holding a sharp object and “attempted to stab” Zeldin while the Republican nominee for New York governor was speaking at an event.
- The Monroe County Sheriff’s office said Jakubonis had “a weapon in his hand, swung it towards Zeldin’s neck and told him ‘You’re done.’”
- People rushed in to grab Jakubonis. Neither Zeldin, nor any other attendee was hurt during the incident. The Congressman resumed his speech on bail reform afterward, a spokeswoman for his campaign said.
- Both President Joe Biden and N.Y. Gov. Kathy Hochul, who is running against Zeldin, condemned the attack.
The big picture: Jakubonis was released after his initial charge. Zeldin said the situation was a prime example of why New York must change a 2019 law banning cash bail for most defendants, save for those charged with certain violent felonies.
- “After being charged with a felony for [Thursday’s] attack, the man who tried to stab me was instantly released back onto the street due to New York’s insane cashless bail law,” Zeldin tweeted. “We MUST repeal cashless bail in New York!” | https://www.axios.com/2022/07/23/lee-zeldin-attacker-federal-assault-charge | 2022-07-23T19:49:19Z | https://www.axios.com/2022/07/23/lee-zeldin-attacker-federal-assault-charge | false | 1 |
QB Malik Willis’ deal wraps up Titans’ 9-man draft class
The Tennessee Titans have wrapped up the last of their nine-man draft class just ahead of training camp by agreeing to terms on a multi-year contract with quarterback Malik Willis.
The Titans announced the deal Saturday, a day after agreeing to terms with their second-round selection, cornerback Roger McCreary.
The 6-foot-1, 219-pound Willis was the Titans’ second pick in the third round at No. 86 overall. He also was the third quarterback taken overall in the April draft, and he was the highest quarterback drafted by Tennessee since taking Marcus Mariota at No. 2 overall in 2015.
The Atlanta native started his career at Auburn before transferring to Liberty for his final two seasons. Willis wound up playing in 38 games and threw for 5,176 yards and 48 touchdowns. In 2021, he was responsible for 65.9% of Liberty’s total offense, throwing for 2,857 yards and 27 TDs and rushing for 878 yards and 13 more TDs.
