“Without a doubt, there’s been a major shift in the dynamics,” Schwartz told Us. “I’m sort of just relearning how to be myself. Not that I was ever co-dependent. And I think that’s happening for some other cast members too — reliving how to exist in the world as a single person.”

Doctor who performed abortion for a 10-year-old rape victim files notice of intent to sue Indiana A.G. for defamation
Dr. Caitlin Bernard — the Indianapolis obstetrician-gynecologist who provided an abortion to a 10-year-old rape victim from Ohio after the state outlawed the procedure for pregnancies past six weeks — has filed a notice that she intends to sue Indiana’s attorney general for statements he made about her on Fox News.
In dated Tuesday, lawyers for Bernard informed Rokita of the filing, which by law triggers a 90-day period for the state to respond to the so-called tort claim seeking damages for reputational harm and emotional distress. At that time, Bernard could file a lawsuit against Rokita for defamation.
Three days after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, which prompted a statewide ban on abortions after six weeks of pregnancy in Ohio, Bernard received a phone call from a child-abuse physician in the Buckeye State whose 10-year-old patient was six weeks and three days pregnant.
On July 1, in a story about the repercussions of the Supreme Court's decision. It quickly drew national attention — and skepticism from anti-abortion advocates who .
On July 11, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost, a Republican, said there was "not a damn scintilla of evidence" to corroborate the story. Two days later, .
At the arraignment, Columbus Police Det. Jeffrey Huhn testified that Gerson Fuentes, a 27-year-old suspected to be living in the country illegally, was arrested after he confessed to raping the child on at least two occasions. Huhn said that the girl's mother had reported the rape to Franklin County's Children Services agency, which referred a complaint to Columbus police on June 22.
In court, officials disclosed that the girl underwent a medical abortion in Indianapolis on June 30.
The night of the arraignment, Rokita appeared on Fox News and said that his office was investigating whether Bernard was licensed to perform an abortion — and whether she had failed to report it.
“We have this abortion activist acting as a doctor with a history of failing to report,” Rokita said. “We’re gathering the evidence as we speak, and we’re going to fight this to the end.”
During the interview, a chyron on the screen underneath Rokita and a picture of Bernard read: “Doc Failed to Report Abortion of Abuse Victim.”
Rokita issued a subsequent statement through his office, saying: “Aside from the horror caused here by illegal immigration, we are investigating this situation and are waiting for the relevant documents to prove if the abortion and/or the abuse were reported, as Dr. Caitlin Bernard had requirements to do both under Indiana law. The failure to do so constitutes a crime in Indiana, and her behavior could also affect her licensure. Additionally, if a HIPAA violation did occur, that may affect next steps as well.”
But Bernard, whose physician license is active, did report it. The Indiana University Health System, where Bernard is employed, issued a statement on Friday saying they'd conducted a review into whether she'd violated any privacy laws and found her to be in full compliance.
“Mr. Rokita’s statements that Dr. Bernard was an ‘abortion activist acting as a doctor’ with a ‘history of failing to report’ were false,” Bernard’s attorneys said in their letter. “Mr. Rokita either knew the statements were false or acted with reckless disregard of the truth or falsity of the statements.”
Rokita’s office did not immediately respond to a Yahoo News request for comment.
“Mr. Rokita’s comments were intended to heighten public condemnation of Dr. Bernard, who legally provided legitimate medical care,” they added. “Mr. Rokita’s false and misleading statements about alleged misconduct by Dr. Bernard in her profession constitute defamation.”

Tesla announced that it had sold about 75% of the bitcoins it had bought in early 2021 for about $ 1.5 billion. The deal, according to company data, added $ 936 million in cash to the electric car giant’s coffers.
The number one of the company, Elon Musk, motivated the sale of a large part of the crypto purchased in 2021 with concerns related to lockdowns in China, with the consequent slowdown in production at the Shanghai plant, which would have required an accumulation of liquidity to deal with the damage caused to the company from the block. “We were concerned about the company’s overall liquidity due to the lockdowns in China,” Musk said, adding that Tesla is willing to increase its bitcoin holdings in the future.

In February 2021, when Tesla announced the massive purchase of cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin was worth $ 39,000. Today it is worth 22,000, down 46% compared to that period.

LONDON (AP) — The World Health Organization said the expanding monkeypox outbreak in more than 70 countries is an “extraordinary” situation that now qualifies as a global emergency, a declaration Saturday that could spur further investment in treating the once-rare disease and worsen the scramble for scarce vaccines.
Although monkeypox has been established in parts of central and west Africa for decades, it was not known to spark large outbreaks beyond the continent or to spread widely among people until May, when authorities detected dozens of epidemics in Europe, North America and elsewhere.
Declaring a global emergency means the monkeypox outbreak is an “extraordinary event” that could spill over into more countries and requires a coordinated global response. WHO previously declared emergencies for public health crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2014 West African Ebola outbreak, the Zika virus in Latin America in 2016 and the ongoing effort to eradicate polio.
The emergency declaration mostly serves as a plea to draw more global resources and attention to an outbreak. Past announcements had mixed impact, given that the U.N. health agency is largely powerless in getting countries to act.
Last month, WHO’s expert committee said the worldwide monkeypox outbreak did not yet amount to an international emergency, but the panel convened this week to reevaluate the situation.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 16,000 cases of monkeypox have been reported in 74 countries since about May. To date, monkeypox deaths have only been reported in Africa, where a more dangerous version of the virus is spreading, mainly in Nigeria and Congo.
In Africa, monkeypox mainly spreads to people from infected wild animals like rodents, in limited outbreaks that typically have not crossed borders. In Europe, North America and elsewhere, however, monkeypox is spreading among people with no links to animals or recent travel to Africa.
WHO’s top monkeypox expert, Dr. Rosamund Lewis, said this week that 99% of all the monkeypox cases beyond Africa were in men and that of those, 98% involved men who have sex with men. Experts suspect the monkeypox outbreaks in Europe and North America were spread via sex at two raves in Belgium and Spain.
Michael Head, a senior research fellow in global health at Southampton University, said it was surprising WHO hadn’t already declared monkeypox a global emergency, explaining that the conditions were arguably met weeks ago.
Some experts have questioned whether such a declaration would help, arguing the disease isn’t severe enough to warrant the attention and that rich countries battling monkeypox already have the funds to do so; most people recover without needing medical attention, although the lesions may be painful.
“I think it would be better to be proactive and overreact to the problem instead of waiting to react when it’s too late,” Head said. He added that WHO’s emergency declaration could help donors like the World Bank make funds available to stop the outbreaks both in the West and in Africa, where animals are the likely natural reservoir of monkeypox.
In the U.S., some experts have speculated whether monkeypox might be on the verge of becoming an entrenched sexually transmitted disease in the country, like gonorrhea, herpes and HIV.
“The bottom line is we’ve seen a shift in the epidemiology of monkeypox where there’s now widespread, unexpected transmission,” said Dr. Albert Ko, a professor of public health and epidemiology at Yale University. “There are some genetic mutations in the virus that suggest why that may be happening, but we do need a globally-coordinated response to get it under control,” he said.
Ko called for testing to be immediately scaled up rapidly, saying that similar to the early days of COVID-19, that there were significant gaps in surveillance.
“The cases we are seeing are just the tip of the iceberg,” he said. “The window has probably closed for us to quickly stop the outbreaks in Europe and the U.S., but it’s not too late to stop monkeypox from causing huge damage to poorer countries without the resources to handle it.”
In the U.S., some experts have speculated that monkeypox might become entrenched there as the newest sexually transmitted disease, with officials estimating that 1.5 million men are at high risk of being infected.
Dr. Placide Mbala, a virologist who directs the global health department at Congo’s Institute of National Biomedical Research, said he hoped any global efforts to stop monkeypox would be equitable. Although countries including Britain, Canada, Germany and the U.S. have ordered millions of vaccine doses, none have gone to Africa.
“The solution needs to be global,” Mbala said, adding that any vaccines sent to Africa would be used to target those at highest risk, like hunters in rural areas.
“Vaccination in the West might help stop the outbreak there, but there will still be cases in Africa,” he said. “Unless the problem is solved here, the risk to the rest of the world will remain.” | https://www.wwlp.com/news/health/world-health-organization-declares-monkeypox-a-global-emergency/ | 2022-07-23T20:34:50Z | https://www.wwlp.com/news/health/world-health-organization-declares-monkeypox-a-global-emergency/ | false | 33 |
Colombo, July 23: Sri Lanka’s newly-elected President Ranil Wickremesinghe is likely to expand his Cabinet to accommodate all opposition parties in the Government, according to a senior minister.
Wickremesinghe on Friday appointed an 18-member Cabinet that included Prime Minister Dinesh Gunawardena.
The President is likely to expand the Cabinet to make it representative of all parties in Parliament, Tourism Minister Harin Fernando said, echoing Wickremesinghe’s thoughts to local media after taking the oath on Friday.
However, he did not give any timeframe.
The government sources said the new stopgap President would be taking action to accommodate all opposition parties in government.
Sri Lankan MPs on Thursday elected Wickremesinghe as the country’s new president, with the majority of the vote coming from lawmakers representing ousted President Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) party.
There were only two non-SLPP lawmakers in the Cabinet appointed on Friday. Constitutionally, the Cabinet can be extended up to 30 members.
Meanwhile, the main Opposition Samagi Jana Balawegaya SJB has demanded Gunawardena summon Parliament on July 25 to discuss what they alleged was the state violence unleashed on the protesters.
Sri Lankan troops and police armed with assault rifles and batons on Friday forcibly removed anti-government protesters camped outside the presidential office here in a pre-dawn raid.
Police have described the pre-dawn raid on the main camp of the anti-government protesters as a “special operation to take [back] control of the presidential secretariat”.
The protesters had vacated the President and Prime Minister’s residences and the Prime Minister’s office after capturing them on July 9, but they were still occupying some rooms of the President’s secretariat.
They also refused to accept Wickremesinghe as the new president, holding him partly responsible for the country’s unprecedented economic and political crisis.
The main protest group which blocked entry to the President’s Office since April 9, said they would continue their struggle till Wickremesinghe resigned.
Parliament is next scheduled to meet on July 27. Wickremesinghe had already conveyed his wish to prorogue Parliament to have a ceremonial start of the next session.
The government came under intense heat from the international community for attacking the protesters.
Ambassadors of several nations based in Colombo and international rights groups have condemned the attack on protesters.
Wickremesinghe on Friday briefed the Ambassadors and said that the action was limited to moving out a group of illegal occupants from the president’s office after due notice to protesters.
The police in a statement said that a senior police official had asked the protesters to vacate the building twice, on July 14 and July 18, but they defied the order and ridiculed the police officers by publicly humiliating them.
Some protesters were seen on Saturday morning at a protest site.
Sri Lanka has seen months of mass unrest over an economic crisis and many blame the former government led by ousted president Gotabaya Rajapaksa and his family for mishandling the island nation’s economy.
Protesters also set Wickremesinghe’s personal residence on fire and occupied his office during protests last week.
Sri Lanka, a country of 22 million people, is under the grip of an unprecedented economic turmoil, the worst in seven decades, leaving millions struggling to buy food, medicine, fuel and other essentials. Sri Lanka’s total foreign debt stands at USD 51 billion.

Advanced DNA gives hope to solve cold cases, but some Canadian cops slow to adopt it
Advances in DNA technology are being credited with solving a growing pile of cold case murders in the United States, but some Canadian police forces are lagging behind when it comes to adopting the new methods.
Experts say a research technique called genetic genealogy, which involves comparing DNA from a crime scene to the vast amount of public data uploaded to private platforms such as Ancestry.com and 23andme, represents the best chance of solving decades-old murders.
Some Canadian police forces, however, are slower to embrace it, partly because of privacy concerns and the fact that it has yet to be tested in the Canadian court system.
Diane Seguin, head of biology and DNA for Quebec's forensics lab, said the province is beginning to apply genetic genealogy in a few "very high-profile cases" in partnership with police and prosecutors, who would be responsible for defending it in an eventual trial.
"We are just starting in Canada to use those technologies because the legal side is not really clear," Seguin said.
With genetic genealogy, even a match to the public profile of a distant relative can be used by genealogists to construct a family tree and identify a suspect, who can then be investigated by traditional policing methods.
The technique has been used a few times in Canada -- most notably to solve the 1984 killing of nine-year-old Christine Jessop in Ontario.
That case was solved with the help of Texas-based forensics lab Othram, which also helped identify decades-old remains in Regina and Edmonton.
However, genetic genealogy has not yet been conclusively tested in a Canadian court because most of the people identified are dead.
The RCMP says it is working to develop a national policy on using genetic genealogy that respects Canadian laws, including those for privacy protection.
Sgt. Caroline Duval says the RCMP is working with partners, including the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, legal services, and the RCMP forensics lab to assess the technique's viability.
"Should a Canadian case go through the court system with a genealogical DNA component, the decisions rendered may also have an effect on how police use this investigative technique moving forward, and the development of national and divisional policies," Duval said.
In the meantime, local RCMP detachments may use commercial laboratory and database services "provided that they comply with the associated terms of service and privacy policies of the labs currently in place," Duval added.
Brenda McPhail, the Canadian Civil Liberties Association's director of privacy, technology and surveillance, says there are numerous privacy concerns surrounding police use of DNA, which she describes as "our most intimate and sensitive information."
People who upload their DNA to public sites often want to learn more about their family history and may not realize how the information could be used by law enforcement, she said.
Even if they check a box allowing the information to be made public, "can they give meaningful consent in a situation where they're not just consenting to have their information used but having their information used in ways that implicate other people in their family?" she asked.
McPhail said she is aware of one case involving genetic genealogy before the Ontario courts, which has yet to conclude but could set a precedent. More widely, she said, there needs to be a conversation about how police forces can use advanced DNA and other powerful surveillance technologies while balancing privacy and the desire to solve crimes.
Seguin, meanwhile, said the technique might not immediately yield as many results in Canada as in the U.S. because Canadians don't upload their DNA to public websites as often as Americans do, so investigators have a smaller pool of samples to draw from.
Nevertheless, she said the Quebec lab is forging ahead in using new technologies to solve cold cases.
Seguin said the lab, which handles all the forensics work from police forces across the province, works on about 50 cold cases per year.
Sometimes lab technicians retest decades-old pieces of evidence with better technology to try to extract DNA -- although doing so is complicated by the fact that samples could be contaminated by sloppy police work, she said.
Seguin said the lab has also acquired an instrument for phenotyping -- which helps identify probable physical characteristics such as hair, skin and eye colour from a DNA sample.
The lab has a genealogist on staff to reconstruct family trees, she said, adding that it is also creating its own database that matches DNA with certain surnames.
While the process may appear slow, she said that just because a cold case isn't being solved immediately doesn't mean it won't be.
DNA belonging to a suspect is uploaded to a database and stays permanently on file, waiting for a match -- either from a newly arrested offender or a profile uploaded to a public site, Seguin said.
Police continue to resolve old crimes through traditional DNA extraction -- with the possibility of many more to come given the rapid technological advances taking place all the time, she added.
"We're at a turning point, right now, in my point of view," she said. "In DNA testing, we are just opening a new era."

Drowning incident at outdoor pool a reminder to stay vigilant at all times, expert says
It's usually a popular place to cool down on a hot summer day at a North Kildonan apartment complex but no one was in the water Friday after an emergency Thursday afternoon at its outdoor swimming pool.
Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service crews and police said a child was transported to hospital in critical condition.
Sources said it was a drowning but the authorities aren't giving any more updates on how the child is doing for privacy reasons because it's a medical incident.
"At first I saw a whole bunch of people outside running around screaming. I went to go check what it was outside and suddenly just started seeing someone doing CPR, like really fast,” said Jude Jacquett, a resident of the complex who witnessed the emergency. “Everyone was freaking out."
It happened at Concord Gardens on Louelda Street around 2 pm.
Jacquett, 18, saw several people helping the victim on the deck of the pool and first responders show up soon after.
"I was feeling pretty nauseous and pretty scared for the person that was in this situation,” he said.
Residents living in the apartment complex said in addition to being fenced off, a key is required to get into the pool area.
Swimming pools in condos, apartments and hotels are deemed semi-public by Manitoba Public Health and aren't required to have a lifeguard on duty. But they must post signs saying so and advise users children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. Rules some complex residents told CTV Winnipeg their property managers make clear to everyone.
The Winnipeg Police Service is investigating the matter, which officers said is standard anytime a child suffers life-threatening injuries or death. However, investigators said it's still being treated as a medical incident.
Christopher Love, the Water Smart and safety management coordinator for the Lifesaving Society of Manitoba, said there have been six fatal drownings in Manitoba since January compared to eight at this time last year.
"Drowning does not imply death,” Love noted. “There is an international medical definition of drowning and so drowning is the process of experiencing respiratory impairment due to submersion or immersion in liquid."
Love said 85 percent of fatal drownings in Manitoba happen in natural bodies of water -- like rivers, lakes and streams -- or ditches. But he said swimming in pools doesn't come without risks, especially in ones where lifeguards aren't present.
"It's a very small fraction of the cases that we see,” he said. “Still, every drowning death is one too many in our eyes and it's something we want people to be thinking about safety at all times so we can bring those numbers down."
And he said the best way of doing that is swimming in pools with lifeguards. If none are present, Love said it's important young children are always actively supervised by an adult and within arm's reach if they're under seven. | https://www.iheartradio.ca/ctv-news-content/drowning-incident-at-outdoor-pool-a-reminder-to-stay-vigilant-at-all-times-expert-says-1.18263690 | 2022-07-23T20:53:10Z | https://www.iheartradio.ca/ctv-news-content/drowning-incident-at-outdoor-pool-a-reminder-to-stay-vigilant-at-all-times-expert-says-1.18263690 | true | 1 |

You are here: Home | Humanitarian | News | 50 million at brink of famine in seven IGAD countries, report
Over 50 million people are projected to face high levels of acute food insecurity in seven IGAD countries this year, according to a new report.
The 2022 edition of the IGAD Regional Focus on Food Crisis, said the countries to face extreme levels of food insecurity are Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan and Uganda.
The bloc said, this year’s situation of the food insecure marks a dramatic increase from 2021, when 42 million people suffered from acute food insecurity.
The IGAD report shows that Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, and Sudan are facing the largest food crises in the region, with about 300,000 people projected to be at the brink of famine in Somalia and South Sudan in 2022.
The analysis also asserted that IGAD countries contribute at least 24 per cent of the world’s 50 million IDPs mainly in South Sudan, Somalia, Ethiopia and Sudan.
“Our region has been hit like never before. The combination of climate extremes, conflict, and macroeconomic challenges makes it almost impossible for our otherwise very resilient communities to sustain multiple shocks,” said Dr. Workneh Gebeyehu, Executive Secretary of the IGAD.
“The figures we are releasing today are heartbreaking, and I’m very worried they could increase even more as the outlook for the October to December rainy season is bleak,” he added.
According to the regional bloc, Climate Change has caused an unprecedented multi-seasonal drought in parts or the member states.
The latest forecast by IGAD’s Climate Prediction and Applications Centre predicts a fifth consecutive failed rainy season across the region.
According to the UN OCHA, over 8.9 million people, including 4.6 million children are estimated to be in need of some form of humanitarian assistance and protection in South Sudan in 2022.

MINNEAPOLIS — With their offseason trade for Rudy Gobert, a massive extension for franchise cornerstone Karl-Anthony Towns and the projected continued ascendance of Anthony Edwards, the Timberwolves could be poised for big things in years to come.
One person who is sounding that notion loud and clear: Towns himself.
At a news conference Friday to formalize the four-year, $224 million supermax extension Towns agreed to a few weeks ago, Towns did not shy away from the idea of raised expectations.
"Championship or bust," Towns said, speaking publicly for the first time not just since his extension was agreed to but also since the Gobert trade.
In a sit-down interview after the news conference, Towns elaborated on that sentiment.
"When you make the trade that we made, that's the reality. I'm not trying to sugarcoat," Towns said. "You've got to think that. That's really what's on the table. I don't think the fans would be accepting of [a goal of] a third-round elimination. ... Let's be real. The standards are high. The pressure is high. And that's when we should all love to play basketball even more."
People are also reading…
The notion might have seemed preposterous even a year ago at this time, when the Wolves were coming off a 23-49 season and there was speculation that Towns and the franchise could be headed for a breakup.
But 46 wins, a competitive playoff series and a productive offseason have altered perceptions. Towns says his faith in the organization hasn't wavered even if it has been nice to have that trust rewarded.
"In my career I've always wanted to take the tougher path," Towns said. "I've felt it's more rewarding. It gives me more of a challenge and makes every day going to the gym and going to work more fun."
Flanked by head coach Chris Finch and President of Basketball Operations Tim Connelly, Towns seemed at ease Friday. Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey, in attendance at the news conference, declared it Towns' day in the city by official proclamation.
Towns has ideas on how he and Gobert — two traditional centers whose dual presence will often have Towns operating more as a power forward — can make life hard for opposing defenses and easy for Edwards.
But he also deferred to the "genius" of Finch, who rolled his eyes when Towns called him that. Laughing, Towns said Finch hates it when he calls the coach by that word.
"I stubbed my toe on the bed this morning. That doesn't seem very genius-like," Finch quipped to a smaller group later. "I mean, listen. The most important thing is that players have faith in me and believe in what we're doing as a coaching staff. The genius label, I don't take much out of that."
To that end, Towns expressed the utmost faith in both Finch and Connelly, the latter an executive who was hired two months ago and whose signature move so far was a massive trade for a player who already plays Towns' position.
"For Tim, I want him to be able to feel very confident in his decisions and not feel like ... he has to go through a channel of 'yeses' or 'nos'. I don't want to be part of that. That's not my role," Towns said. "Everything that's happened is part of his master plan, and I'm just happy to be part of it."
Connelly, who is in the process of getting to know Towns better, expressed his share of gratitude as well.
"For Karl, he's seen a lot of tough days," Connelly said. "It was so exciting to hear how excited he was about Finchy and his teammates and how quickly he was willing to get this done." | https://lacrossetribune.com/title-or-bust/article_762af06c-0ab3-11ed-a9b1-43e0087c34d4.html | 2022-07-23T21:31:08Z | https://lacrossetribune.com/title-or-bust/article_762af06c-0ab3-11ed-a9b1-43e0087c34d4.html | false | 5 |

Boasting the same underpinnings as its slightly more mainstream sibling, the Chiron, the Divo was already eye-watering expensive when it was still up for grabs. Pricing kicked off at €5 million (equal to $5.1 million at the current exchange rates) before tax, and we were baffled when we found a copy for almost €7.5 million ($7.65 million).
Not long after, we stumbled upon another one, which, at €11.8 million ($12 million), was much more expensive. As for the one pictured in the gallery above, well, let’s just say that it makes the Chiron look affordable by comparison. Advertised by a French used car dealer on Mobile, which has several high-end exotics in its portfolio, as well as two more rides at the time of writing that have a five-digit price tag accompanying them, it is a €13.2 million affair including tax, or just shy of the $13.5 million mark.
If it ends up selling for that much money, then it will make its owner a very nice profit. And it definitely beats investing in real-estate, gold, stocks, NFTs, or crypto, though the latter is not exactly the new El Dorado anymore. The hypercar has two owners in the papers, the ad reveals, 500 km (310 miles) under its belt, and a first registration dating back to June, 2021. This is where the vendor decided to draw the line, not before taking a few shots of it, which do not really do justice to what is a very good, and quite pretty model.
Sporting a gray paint finish, with contrasting blue elements, and bedecked by the French flag colors, this Bugatti Divo has a two tone interior, combining leather and suede. The integrated headrests have ‘Divo’ embossing, and the vehicle’s name is displayed on other parts of the interior, including on the sides of the center console, whereas the ‘Bugatti’ logo decorates the steering wheel. The used car dealer responsible for finding a new home for this hypercar hasn’t said anything about the extras either.
If we had a rich uncle out there that we are not aware of, or simply won the lottery, we would read the papers in the presence of a lawyer. Also, just to make sure, we’d reach out to Bugatti too, because it’s not like these kinds of rides change hands every day, especially for that much money.
Just like every modern Bugatti, save for the Baby II obviously, the Divo packs a familiar powertrain, and it is a true force to be reckoned with. But you already knew that it uses the 8.0-liter W16 engine, with no less than four turbochargers, pumping out 1,479 hp (1,500 ps / 1,103 kW). Bugatti says that the Divo, which is 77 pounds (35 kg) ligther than the Chiron, produces 198 lbs (90 kg) more downforce, and is capable of pulling 1.6 Gs of lateral acceleration, can deal with the 0 to 62 mph (0-100 kph) sprint in a neck-snapping 2.4 seconds. On a long straight, it will eventually run out of breath at 236 mph (380 kph).
We don’t need to tell you that this Bugatti Divo targets the one percenters, as not many people could afford to pay even 10% of the asking price. Heck, 1% is already too much, and that would be more than enough to quench most petrol heads’ power thirst. So, assuming that you had several million dollars in the bank, what color would your more mainstream supercar have?

Rogers Communications has filed a 39-page reply to questions from the Canadian telecommunications regulator about the unprecedented outage of its internet and wireless network, again blaming a configuration change that deleted a routing filter, which caused its distribution routers to be overwhelmed.
However, large parts of the version publicly released late Friday by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) were been blanked out by the commission — including the explanation of the root cause — for security or competitive reasons.
Also blanked out are the steps Rogers has taken to prevent a similar outage. “We have developed very specific measures, for the immediate term, short term and medium term, that will be implemented in the coming days, and weeks,” the document says. But the public version leaves out that list.
“Most importantly,” the submission adds, “Rogers is examining its “change, planning and implementation” process to identify improvements to eliminate risk of further service interruptions. These include the following steps:” The list of steps is blanked out in the version released by the CRTC.
Since the July 8 outage, many experts noted that in April, 2021 the wireless side of the Rogers network was out for almost 22 hours, suggesting that the carrier may have serious issues with its infrastructure. In its submission, Rogers says the causes of that outage — a third-party’s product update — were different from the July 8 incident. The submission includes a list of what Rogers has done since the 2021 crash to improve network resiliency.. That list has been blanked out.
As a result the public doesn’t know exactly why the code in the planned update to Rogers’ core IP network caused chaos — was it a simple coding syntax mistake, a failure to follow established devops standards, a failure to follow practices for testing code on an offline platform or….?
Roger does say in the submission that updates to its core IP network are made “very carefully.”
It went through a comprehensive planning process including scoping, budget approval, project approval, kickoff, design document, method of procedure, risk assessment, and testing, finally culminating in the engineering and implementation phases. “The update in question was the sixth phase of a seven-phase process that had begun weeks earlier. The first five phases had proceeded without incident,” Rogers emphasized. “We validated all aspects of this change.”
If so, it isn’t immediately clear why the carrier replaced its CTO last week.
These and other questions may be answered Monday when the House of Commons Industry Committee holds a hearing starting at 11 a.m. Eastern into the outage. The hearing will be televised. Federal officials including the CRTC and Rogers will testify.
The document does include several interesting pieces of colour to Rogers’ account of its response to the July 8 incident. The collapse and disconnection of some equipment was so bad engineers lost access to the carrier’s virtual private network (VPN) system, hindering its ability to begin identifying the trouble and slowing down network restoration.
However, they were able to carry on with work through their cellphones thanks to a seven-year-old emergency preparedness plan. Under the Canadian Telecom Resiliency Working Group, a federal-telco committee that works on best practices, Bell, Rogers and Telus agreed in 2015 to allow certain employees to swap SIM cards on their devices in emergencies. An unnamed number of Rogers staff took advantage of the agreement to use competitors’ networks, which helped Rogers’ restoration efforts.
Rogers offered this account of what happened on July 8:
The implementation of the sixth phase of its maintenance update started at 2:27 a.m. Eastern. At 4:43 a.m. Eastern a specific coding change was introduced in its three Distribution Routers, which triggered the failure of the Rogers IP core network two minutes later.
“The configuration change deleted a routing filter and allowed for all possible routes to the Internet to pass through the routers. As a result, the routers immediately began propagating abnormally high volumes of routes throughout the core network. Certain network routing equipment became flooded, exceeded their capacity levels and were then unable to route traffic, causing the common core network to stop processing traffic. As a result, the Rogers network lost connectivity to the Internet for all incoming and outgoing traffic for both the wireless and wireline networks for our consumer and business customers.”
“Like many large telecommunications services providers (TSPs), Rogers uses a common core network, essentially one IP network infrastructure, that supports all wireless, wireline and enterprise services. The common core is the brain of the network that receives, processes, transmits and connects all Internet, voice, data and TV traffic for our customers.
“Again, similar to other TSPs around the world, Rogers uses a mixed vendor core network consisting of IP routing equipment from multiple tier one manufacturers. This is a common industry practice as different manufacturers have different strengths in routing equipment for Internet gateway, core and distribution routing. Specifically, the two IP routing vendors Rogers uses have their own design and approaches to managing routing traffic and to protect their equipment from being overwhelmed. In the Rogers network, one IP routing manufacturer uses a design that limits the number of routes that are presented by the Distribution Routers to the core routers. The other IP routing vendor relies on controls at its core routers. The impact of these differences in equipment design and protocols are at the heart of the outage that Rogers experienced.”
The result was Rogers network lost connectivity internally and to the Internet for all incoming and outgoing traffic, for both the wireless and wireline networks for consumer and business customers.
The submission lists the number of Rogers’ consumer, business, federal, provincial, territorial and municipal customers (some of whom may have redundant communications services). Those numbers have been blanked out in the public document.
Because wireless devices have become the dominant form of communicating for a vast majority of Canadians, Rogers said its wireless network was the first focus of recovery efforts. Then it worked on the landline service, and, finally on restoring data services, particularly for critical care services and infrastructure.
In a letter to the CRTC accompanying the submission, Ted Woodhead, Rogers’ chief regulatory and government affairs officer, wrote that “the network outage experienced by Rogers was simply not acceptable. We failed in our commitment to be Canada’s most reliable network.” | https://www.itworldcanada.com/article/public-explanation-of-rogers-outage-has-lots-of-blanks/494150 | 2022-07-23T21:48:18Z | https://www.itworldcanada.com/article/public-explanation-of-rogers-outage-has-lots-of-blanks/494150 | true | 2 |
UVALDE, Texas (AP) — After the massacre at Uvalde’s Robb Elementary School in May, Jesse Rizo was worried about his old friend, police chief Pete Arredondo.
Blame for the botched police response was being directed heavily at Arredondo when Rizo texted him just days after the shooting: “Been thinking of and praying for you.”
Two months later, with investigations and body-camera video spotlighting the hesitant and haphazard response by police to the killing of two teachers and 19 students, Rizo remains worried about Arredondo. He also wants him fired.
Rizo’s complicated feelings toward his Uvalde High School classmate capture the type of mixed emotions that families of victims and many residents of this close-knit community are navigating as they channel their grief and fury into demands for change.
“I care about Pete. I care that he’s mentally OK. I don’t want a human to start to lose it,” said Rizo, who is distantly related to a 9-year-old girl who was killed at Robb Elementary. “But I also want to hold people accountable who don’t perform their jobs properly.”
The 50-year-old Arredondo, who as head of the school district’s small police department was one of the first officers on the scene, has taken much of the blame for not immediately storming the classroom and confronting the shooter. He has not responded to repeated requests for comment from The Associated Press.
This week, the Uvalde school board abruptly scheduled a meeting to discuss firing Arredondo, only to cancel it days later. As officials weigh their options, residents are growing impatient with unanswered calls to hold people accountable for the bewildering 77 minutes of inaction by nearly 400 police officers who responded to the school shooting.
But the mere possibility of his firing after months of resistance from local officials stands as a demonstration of the victims’ families’ rising political clout.
The strain over how to move forward is visible in the signs that have popped up all over town. “Uvalde United.” “Uvalde Must Stand Together.” While those signs mean different things depending on whom you ask, other signs are more pointed: “Prosecute Pete Arredondo.”
Family ties and political struggles go back generations in Uvalde, a community where nearly three-quarters of the residents are Hispanic. Locals had largely revered the police before the shooting. Uvalde’s leaders, many of whom are white, share church pews with their fiercest critics. And demanding accountability can mean calling for the job of your friend, neighbor or employer.
It’s a town with a “power structure” and “unwritten rules” that make it hard for many people to speak out, said Michael Ortiz, a local college professor who moved to Uvalde 13 years ago and said his tenure allows him to be vocal in a way that’s not viable for many of the community’s mostly working-class residents.
“Someone’s boss might not like that,” Ortiz said. “They are afraid even to march.”
Since the shooting, the mostly Hispanic parents of the victims have struggled to make their demands heard by the city and school district. Local officials initially resisted releasing information and calls to fire officers. But things are shifting.
In a sign of growing political activism, more than 300 people have registered to vote in Uvalde since the shooting — more than double the number in the same period during the last midterm election season. And in July, over 100 protesters braved 106-degree heat to call for stronger gun regulations — including raising the minimum age to buy an assault weapon — and for greater transparency from local and state authorities investigating the shooting.
That was the largest local demonstration since 1970, when the school district’s refusal to renew the contract of a popular Robb Elementary teacher prompted one of Texas’ longest school walkouts over demands for equal education for Mexican American residents. That teacher’s son is Ronnie Garza, a Uvalde County commissioner.
Garza said the shooting has changed the community, uniting people in grief but dividing them on questions of accountability. “We are a desperate people right now. We are yelling here that way, we are yelling (the other) way, for somebody to listen to us, to come and help us,” said Garza.
Faced with incomplete and contradictory accounts from local and state law enforcement, the families of those killed in Uvalde have begun to make people listen.
After state lawmakers issued a damning report that found “systemic failures and egregiously poor decision making” by both police and school officials, the Uvalde school board held a special session to hear from parents. Superintendent Hal Harrell apologized for previously being “too formal” and not letting the victims’ families say their piece.
“Trying to find the right time, the right balance out of respect, I did not do well,” said Harrell, who is white and spoke in an auditorium named for his father, who was also superintendent.
For the next three hours, grieving parents and community members upbraided the board, saying that if it didn’t hold people accountable they would lose their jobs. Some told Harrell he wasn’t living up to his father’s legacy, while others referenced the 1970 lockout and said they hoped he would do better, drawing applause. People called for the whole school police force to be fired and jeered at state troopers standing at the room’s edges.
Rizo, who was at that meeting, said he cannot respect how the police chief or the many other officers he knows handled their jobs that day. “There are consequences to that,” he said. “I can’t understand why he wouldn’t just resign.”
But the long history between them tugs at Rizo too. In the text he sent Arredondo days after the shooting, he said: “Please be strong and be patient.”
Arredondo responded: “Good to hear from you, bro. Thank you and please keep praying for the babies.” They haven’t spoken since.

Police: Mother put newborn inside backpack in crawlspace by open window
Editor’s note: The content of this story may be upsetting to some. Reader’s discretion is advised.
WESTOVER, W.Va. (WBOY) — A Westover woman is facing child neglect charges after police say she left her baby in a backpack that she then placed in a crawlspace near an open window over the winter. The baby survived, but police said that was likely only because someone found her.
On Jan. 6, officers with the Westover Police Department responded to a call at a residence on Schley Street in Westover for a report of an abandoned child, according to a criminal complaint.
Woman charged after claiming she ‘was not a drug dealer, only a drug user’ to Barbour County law enforcementWhen officers arrived on the scene, they began an investigation which resulted in them learning that Brittany Hunt, 27, of Westover, “gave birth to a baby girl around Jan. 4” … “in a restroom believed to be a toilet” in the Schley Street home, officers said.
Individuals at the residence stated that “the newborn laid on the bathroom floor without proper care for over 24 hours,” after which time Hunt “placed the newborn baby girl inside of a backpack, zipped it, and hid the backpack inside of an upstairs crawlspace” which had “little to no traffic,” according to the complaint.
Hours after Hunt placed the newborn in the crawlspace, a man “found this backpack with the newborn inside on accident” while moving items into the crawlspace, and officers noted that the backpack was found near an open window on a day with a recorded temperature of 28 degrees, officers said.
When officers arrived, “the newborn was still located inside of the backpack and was covered in feces,” and when officers spoke with Hunt, she “adamantly denied any involvement and declared the child wasn’t hers,” according to the complaint.
Hunt later confessed to being the mother of the child, and “samples collected from Hunt” and “blood samples collected from the birthing site” showed that the newborn was Hunt’s, the toxicology report from the newborn’s umbilical cord found detectable levels of Xanax, methamphetamine, Suboxone and cocaine, officers said.
In her own statements, Hunt “made no attempt to get this newborn medical care nor did she attempt to nourish her,” and officers noted that “had the other party not found this newborn when he did, the child would have in fact succumbed to its environment,” according to the complaint.
Hunt has been charged with child neglect. She is being held in North Central Regional Jail.

Those who invested in Mercury NZ (NZSE:MCY) five years ago are up 116%
Generally speaking the aim of active stock picking is to find companies that provide returns that are superior to the market average. Buying under-rated businesses is one path to excess returns. For example, long term Mercury NZ Limited (NZSE:MCY) shareholders have enjoyed a 72% share price rise over the last half decade, well in excess of the market return of around 11% (not including dividends).
Now it's worth having a look at the company's fundamentals too, because that will help us determine if the long term shareholder return has matched the performance of the underlying business.
See our latest analysis for Mercury NZ
To quote Buffett, 'Ships will sail around the world but the Flat Earth Society will flourish. There will continue to be wide discrepancies between price and value in the marketplace...' One flawed but reasonable way to assess how sentiment around a company has changed is to compare the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price.
Over half a decade, Mercury NZ managed to grow its earnings per share at 17% a year. The EPS growth is more impressive than the yearly share price gain of 11% over the same period. Therefore, it seems the market has become relatively pessimistic about the company.
The image below shows how EPS has tracked over time (if you click on the image you can see greater detail).
It's probably worth noting that the CEO is paid less than the median at similar sized companies. It's always worth keeping an eye on CEO pay, but a more important question is whether the company will grow earnings throughout the years. Before buying or selling a stock, we always recommend a close examination of historic growth trends, available here..
What About Dividends?
As well as measuring the share price return, investors should also consider the total shareholder return (TSR). Whereas the share price return only reflects the change in the share price, the TSR includes the value of dividends (assuming they were reinvested) and the benefit of any discounted capital raising or spin-off. Arguably, the TSR gives a more comprehensive picture of the return generated by a stock. We note that for Mercury NZ the TSR over the last 5 years was 116%, which is better than the share price return mentioned above. This is largely a result of its dividend payments!
A Different Perspective
Mercury NZ shareholders are down 11% over twelve months (even including dividends), which isn't far from the market return of -11%. The silver lining is that longer term investors would have made a total return of 17% per year over half a decade. If the fundamental data remains strong, and the share price is simply down on sentiment, then this could be an opportunity worth investigating. I find it very interesting to look at share price over the long term as a proxy for business performance. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too. Take risks, for example - Mercury NZ has 4 warning signs (and 1 which is a bit unpleasant) we think you should know about.

Almost 20 years ago, a young 27-year-old man Roger Changho Kim came to New Zealand from Korea with big hopes and dreams of a better life.
But in one crazy moment of wanting to have fun with friends on December 27, 2003, Kim jumped into a Cambridge lake despite not being able to swim and drowned.
Family friend Diane Lee - who still tears up when talking about "smiling Roger" - will be among those attending an inaugural World Drowning Prevention Day dawn memorial service on Monday morning.
The service at St Mary's Bay, Auckland will be a commemoration to honour those who have lost their lives to drowning and aims to provide healing for people who are grieving.

Advertise with NZME."Roger was the son of my husband's colleague in Korea, and they sent him here because they thought it was a safe place," Lee said.
"I think Roger too felt 'too safe' and didn't think of that jumping into a lake that looks beautiful would be any danger."
Kim came to NZ after he had completed his mandatory military service in Korea and had been studying English to help him improve his job prospects.
That year, he spent Christmas Day with Lee and her family before travelling to Auckland with friends.
On their return trip, he and his friends stopped at a swimming spot on Cambridge's Lake Karapiro called Keeleys Landing.
He jumped into the lake, and that was the last time he was seen alive.
"The call from New Zealand police I got that night broke my heart, and my head just went blank. Just like that, Roger was gone," Lee said.
"I can't understand what he was thinking, or maybe what he wasn't thinking at the time. Why did he jump in when he can't swim?"

Advertise with NZME.In the days that followed, Kim's parents arrived and a police search found his body.
Lee returns to Keeley's Landing almost every Christmas to remember Kim, and throws flowers into the water.
Tomorrow, Rihari Wilson, who mourns the loss of his father and brother to drowning, will speak on behalf of grieving families and raise awareness of the importance of water safety education so people can enjoy the water safely.
In the evening, the Sky Tower will light up blue as other nations across the world commence their tributes.
Water Safety New Zealand will also be releasing the final Drowning Report 2021 tomorrow.
Last year 90 people drowned, the worst year for drowning fatalities since 2011, when there were 91 drowning deaths.

Advertise with NZME.Drowning Prevention Auckland chief executive Nicola Keen-Biggelaar said that in New Zealand, drownings were largely preventable and water safety education was the key to improving people's knowledge, attitudes and behaviour around water.
"The water safety sector in New Zealand is united as one voice to raise awareness that anyone can drown, no one should", Keen-Biggelaar said.
"This year alone, since New Year's Day, 10 people have drowned in the Auckland region. In the last five years, drowning took the lives of 85 people locally. All 85 deaths were preventable leaving 85 families devastated."
She said that with warmer water this past summer, there was a noticeable increase in the number of people visiting beaches, going out on boats, paddleboards and kayaks.
"Yet we also saw more people get into strife and overestimate their current level of fitness or be willing to take more risks after going through extended lockdowns," Keen-Biggelaar said.
Auckland Councillor and Parks, Arts, Community and Events Chairperson Alf Filipaina said the day "remembers but also highlights we must do all we can to prevent families and communities losing their whānau and friends."

Holly Willoughby ‘burst into tears’ because of stress ahead of her marriage to husband Dan Baldwin
HOLLY Willoughby revealed she "burst into tears" from wedding "stress" before she married Dan Baldwin.
The This Morning host, 41, opened up about her marriage as the couple prepare to celebrate their 15th wedding anniversary.
The pair - who first met on TV show Ministry of Mayhem back in 2007 - tied the knot in August 2007 and now have three children together, Harry, 13, Belle, 11, and Chester, seven.
Holly spoke about her marriage in a candid clip on Instagram: “It feels like a very long time ago, we have been married 15 years this year so it feels very special.
“Those memories are still as fresh as they were on the day. It is a special, special time from the dress, to walking down the aisle, to the smell of those flowers that you will never forget, to seeing all your loved ones in one place.
"Just a complete celebration in its purest form.”
But Holly explained that the day almost didn’t go to plan as the summer of 2007 was “one of the wettest on record”.
The TV star feared the weather would completely ruin her wedding , which left her in floods of tears.
She continued: "Shortly before the wedding, I was working with Fearne [Cotton] and spotted one of the crew reading a newspaper with ‘5 Days Until Summer Begins’ splashed across the front page.
“I was getting married in 5 days! I burst into tears.”
Most read in News TV
The pair - who said I Do in the stunning fairytale surroundings of her favourite childhood venue, Amberley Castle in Sussex - luckily had glorious weather for the occasion.
Earlier this month, Holly revealed her cheekiest wedding secret ahead of her 15-year anniversary.
The TV host has previously admitted their relationship is full of laughter.
Yet Holly - who usually remains coy about her family life and kids - has opened up on the website for her lifestyle brand, Wylde Moon.
She particularly focused on her wedding garments - and her lingerie when she walked down the aisle.
Mum of three Holly told the website something "no one knows" about her day, and confessed: "It’s obviously very important to get your underwear right under your wedding dress, and even more so with a backless dress.
"My amazing dressmaker had a vintage pattern for a bunny girl outfit.
"She adapted a 1960’s original bunny girl corset by cutting the back so low, it didn’t show.
"She even made me a fluffy tail – but I’m not sure that ever saw the light of day!"
Holly then opened up on the wedding gown itself, as she added: "I had in my head exactly what I wanted, but I couldn’t find it anywhere!
"I knew I wanted it to be very vintage, lace, with long sleeves, a high neck and a beautiful, open back, as that’s what everyone sees when you walk down the aisle.
"Oh, and a long train…if you can’t do that on your wedding day when can you?"
Holly got her big break in TV when she landed a role fronting Dan's series, Ministry of Mayhem, with Stephen Mulhern in 2004.
Dan was one of the producers on the series, and they went on to marry in 2007.
To celebrate their ten year anniversary, the couple jetted off on a romantic holiday together. | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/tv/9203309/holly-willoughby-tears-stress-marriage-husband-dan-baldwin/ | 2022-07-23T22:00:14Z | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/tv/9203309/holly-willoughby-tears-stress-marriage-husband-dan-baldwin/ | true | 3 |
Two decades ago, an NCAA wrestling champion named Brock Lesnar made his debut on WWE's main roster alongside legendary manager Paul Heyman. The rest, as they say, is history. Wherever he has been, be it WWE or UFC, he has been a major player.
From breaking The Undertaker's legendary WrestleMania streak to winning the UFC Heavyweight Championship, not many have been able to achieve what The Beast Incarnate has. Here are ten insane stories about the former Universal Champion that you might not have previously known.
#10 Went to college with Shelton Benjamin
The class of 2000 from WWE's now defunct Ohio Valley Wrestling developmental territory is still discussed to this day. The reason behind this is because this particular class consisted of legendary wrestlers like Brock Lesnar, Batista, John Cena, Randy Orton, and Shelton Benjamin.
It's incredible to think that all of those superstars, four of whom would go on to become world champions, broke into the wrestling business and trained together at the same time. It turns out that Lesnar and Benjamin knew each other even before arriving in WWE.
The Beast Incarnate and Shelton Benjamin were college roommates. Both are established amateur wrestlers, so it's no surprise that they would have become friends being at the same college. Not a pair you would necessarily put together today.
#9 The Undertaker at UFC
As touched upon previously, Brock Lesnar had a successful spell in the UFC. The Beast became the heavyweight champion during his time there and even revisited the octagon in 2016 to take on Mark Hunt at UFC 200.
Despite Lesnar's terrifying demeanor, he didn't have a 100% record in the UFC. One fighter who was able to defeat Brock was Cain Velasquez, with WWE even hiring him to unsuccessfully turn his UFC victory over The Beast into a storyline. Interestingly, The Undertaker was one of the fans watching the match at ringside.
Lesnar walked past The Deadman on his way to the back and Taker was caught on camera asking Brock if he wanted to do it. What 'it' was remains a mystery to this day, but maybe it was The Undertaker asking Brock to return to WWE for another match.
#8 Disrespecting sponsors
Brock Lesnar is a big sponsor guy, as you can tell by the shorts he previously wore while competing in WWE. It was even a topic of controversy when it came to CM Punk, who questioned why he wasn't allowed to do the same thing. That story is for another day.
While Brock is given special treatment in WWE when it comes to sponsors, in UFC, fighter gear being laden with brand names is commonplace. Following one fight in particular, Lesnar stood on a Bud Light logo in an apparent act of defiance.
Lesnar would then go on to say that he was heading home to celebrate with a Coors Light. Apparently Bud Light had turned down the opportunity to sponsor him, hence the shot taken by The Beast. He would later be forced to apologize for his words and actions.
#7 Brock Lesnar turned down the chance to have his own private jet
As touched upon very briefly already, in 2004, Brock Lesnar left WWE. The Beast that the company had created didn't leave under the best circumstances either and his infamous last match was the one with Goldberg at WrestleMania XX.
Lesnar was not a fan of the schedule that came along with being a WWE Superstar. In an attempt to remedy this, Vince McMahon offered Brock a number of weekends off and even his own private jet so that traveling would be less of a hassle.
However, the former Universal Champion's mind was already made up. Despite the incredible offer from WWE, Lesnar still walked away to pursue a career in football. WWE quickly learned that not all of their problems can be solved by simply throwing money.
#6 Fit of rage following comeback match
Brock Lesnar's eight-year hiatus from WWE came to an end the night after WrestleMania XXVIII. Despite WWE trying to keep the former Universal Champion's return a secret, fans were wise to it and chanted his name before Lesnar interrupted John Cena.
The 16-time world champion was Brock's first target and his first match back was at the subsequent pay-per-view, Extreme Rules. Lesnar would win, of course, but apparently it didn't go down the way that The Beast Incarnate wanted it to.
Cena was supposed to be so beaten down that he would have to be carted out of the arena on a stretcher. Instead, John got back on his feet and cut a promo before leaving. The booking change left The Bearded Butcher raging and the former UFC Heavyweight Champion went on a rampage backstage.
#5 Addiction to painkillers
Following his UFC return in 2016 Brock Lesnar's fight with Mark Hunt was marred by controversy. It turns out that The Beast had been taking some kind of performance-enhancing drugs in the build-up to the fight and his win was overturned.
Turns out that Lesnar has had issues with drugs before, but not of the PED variety. After leaving WWE the first time around, the former WWE Champion opened up about how tough he found the schedule and how it took him to a pretty bad place.
According to The Beast himself, towards the end of that first run, he was drinking a bottle of vodka a day as well as taking a lot of painkillers. In fact, there's a two-year period that he apparently can barely remember.
#4 Putting a street dancer to sleep
Brock Lesnar seems to have some very close friends and relatives, and outside of that, he's apparently not too interested in human contact. He has his wife Sable, his children, and that may very well be it for The Beast.
Despite that assumption a few years back, Brock attended a local event called Street Dance. While buying drinks from a bar, a gentleman entered and claimed the drinks Lesnar bought were his. Things escalated and the guy tried to hit The Beast with one of the drinks. Big mistake.
What exactly happened is still unclear, but Brock Lesnar admitted that he managed to diffuse the situation by putting the unruly localite to sleep. Whether that was via choking him out or knocking him out remains a mystery.
#3 The wedding ring prank
One of the strangest real-life couples in pro wrestling today is Brock Lesnar and Sable. The two are far apart in age and are also from different generations in the wrestling business. Fair play to them though as the two have enjoyed a more successful relationship than most in the business.
Not only are Sable and Lesnar husband and wife, and have been for a while, but they also have a few children together, both on their own and from previous relationships. Brock took the opportunity to play a joke on his wife using one of their kids.
When one of their sons was one, The Beast got a babysitter to call Sable and tell her that he had swallowed her wedding ring. It was all a joke of course, but a blissfully unaware Sable sifted through a lot of dirty nappies before her loving husband let her in on the prank.
#2 Suplexing an NFL player
Brock Lesnar's attempts to make it as an NFL player and becoming a Minnesota Viking are well documented. It's what he pursued when he first left the world of professional wrestling, and although he was ultimately unsuccessful, he still played a few pre-season games for the team.
One of those pre-season games was against the Kansas City Chiefs. One chief, in particular, had some derogatory things to say about Brock Lesnar's teammate Daunte Culpepper. What happened next would have left that particular Chief eating his words.
The Beast Incarnate channeled his inner pro wrestler and took the culprit to Suplex City. This is no urban myth either and there is actual footage out there of the incident. That should have been a signal to Brock that he was made for a wrestling ring and not a football field.
#1 The shoot fight between Brock and Kurt Angle
When he made his main roster debut in 2002, The Beast Incarnate had an arch-nemesis in Kurt Angle waiting for him. The two legends did battle for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania XIX in what was one of the most memorable rivalries of the 2000s.
What you might not know is that the two are friends in real life. They traveled together a lot during their early years with WWE and likely built a bond over their amateur wrestling backgrounds. In fact, that aspect of their lives led to them having a shoot wrestling match against one another.
For years it was just an urban myth, but Angle himself declared it to be true in 2015. Once backstage, he and Lesnar had a real amateur wrestling match. Despite Brock Lesnar's pedigree, it was Kurt who won the bout. Angle, after all, is an Olympic gold medallist.

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.
That is because men are going to work at the shops for the first time.
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 decision to allow men to work at the shops was made before the pandemic but hadn’t been implemented before the closures.
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 blog post.
Workers at the shops provide hairstyling, makeup, costumes and accessories to help children between ages 3 and 12 transform into their favorite characters. | https://www.8newsnow.com/entertainment-news/more-inclusive-titles-for-workers-at-disney-dress-up-shops/ | 2022-07-23T22:07:43Z | https://www.8newsnow.com/entertainment-news/more-inclusive-titles-for-workers-at-disney-dress-up-shops/ | false | null |

WASHINGTON — Before Sarah Matthews, a former deputy White House press secretary, even opened her mouth to testify Thursday before the select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the Capitol, the House Republican Conference attacked her on Twitter as a “liar” and a “pawn” of Democrats.
The group did not mention the man seated beside her, Matthew Pottinger, a former deputy national security adviser, who was also there to issue a scathing indictment of President Donald Trump’s behavior on the day of the riot. Nor did Trump himself mention Pottinger when he lashed out hours later with a statement calling Matthews a fame-seeker who was “clearly lying.”
The contrast highlighted how, in a series of revelatory hearings that have focused on issues of democracy, the rule of law and the peaceful transfer of power, another, less-discussed theme has emerged: the gender dynamics that have been a potent undercurrent.
In the course of exposing Trump’s elaborate effort to overturn the 2020 election, the House committee has relied on the accounts of several women who came forward to publicly tell their stories. Their statements, and the attacks that ensued, laid bare how women often still pay a higher price than men for speaking up.

Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., vice chair of the panel — who herself has suffered heavy consequences for her insistence on publicly condemning Trump’s conduct — has been explicit about the role of gender in the proceedings. She has positioned herself as the champion of the women who have agreed to testify in person, comparing them favorably with the many men who have refused to do so.
At the committee’s prime-time hearing Thursday, Cheney wore a white jacket, the color of the women’s suffrage movement. She invoked Margaret Thatcher, the first female prime minister of Britain, and the fight by American women to secure the right to vote as she described the women who had publicly appeared during the panel’s investigation as “an inspiration to American women and American girls.”
She was referring to Matthews as well as Cassidy Hutchinson, another White House aide who appeared at one of the committee’s hearings; Caroline Edwards, a Capitol Police officer who testified about how she was assaulted by the rioters, sustained a concussion and continued to fight them off; and Wandrea Moss and her mother, Ruby Freeman, election workers from Georgia who told the panel about how they endured harassment and death threats after Trump named them in a false conspiracy theory about voter fraud.
The result has been that as the committee unfurls the story of the Jan. 6 attack — playing footage of a mostly male crowd laying waste to the Capitol in Trump’s name, with the president looking on supportively from the West Wing — many of the witnesses who have emerged most prominently have been women, with Cheney as their defender.
It is a notable strategy by Cheney, a tough and hawkish conservative who throughout her career has worked to avoid being viewed through the lens of gender.
It comes as the Republican Party has labored to diversify and expand its appeal among female voters, a group that polls showed was a weak spot for Trump in 2020 and has only drifted from him since. A recent New York Times/Siena College poll found that 6 in 10 women believed Trump’s actions after the 2020 election threatened democracy, while men were almost evenly split, with 48% holding that view and 45% saying he was just exercising his rights.
Cheney was the highest-ranking Republican woman on Capitol Hill last year when she broke with her party after the riot and called out Trump and his election lies, voting to impeach him for incitement of insurrection. Within months, she had been ousted as the No. 3 Republican in the House, and she is now at risk of losing her seat in Wyoming as she faces a challenging primary election next month against a Trump-endorsed opponent.
It was difficult not to hear some parallels when Cheney described on Thursday how Hutchinson, the 26-year-old former White House aide who became a critical public witness, knowingly exposed herself to harsh criticism from former colleagues. Cheney said that Hutchinson “knew all along that she would be attacked by President Trump and by the 50-, 60- and 70-year-old men who hide themselves behind executive privilege.”
“But like our witnesses today, she has courage and she did it anyway,” she added.
After Hutchinson’s testimony, Trump dismissed her in an interview with Newsmax as “this girl” who was making up stories. “She’s got serious problems,” he said. “Mental problems.”
Amanda Carpenter, a former adviser to Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., said it was notable to see a conservative woman drawing attention to the gender dynamic.
“I know how hard it is for these women under these circumstances,” Carpenter said. “I imagine it means a lot to the women being targeted. It means a lot to me just watching it.”
The Twitter attack by the House Republican Conference on Matthews, who works as a House Republican aide, was quickly deleted. But Trump’s targeting of her and Hutchinson was in line with how the former president has often publicly treated women who challenge him, criticizing them in personal terms intended to call into question their credibility, sanity and self-worth.
Trump’s allies like to describe him as an equal-opportunity counterpuncher who would attack anyone who crossed him. But over the years, he has singled out female antagonists with particular viciousness, including television personalities Mika Brzezinski and Megyn Kelly, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan and Mary Barra, CEO of General Motors. His allies, many of them seeking his approval, have mimicked his behavior.
In the case of Hutchinson, a person close to her said, stories have been shopped to Trump-friendly media outlets smearing her personally.
Garrett Ziegler, a junior aide in Trump’s White House, went on a misogynistic rant during a livestream this past week after sitting for an interview with the Jan. 6 committee in which he repeatedly refused to answer questions. In the rant, he used sexist slurs against his former female colleagues who have cooperated with the inquiry.
“Pat Cipollone, Bill Barr, Marc Short, they’re saying the same thing, yet you attack the young women,” said former Rep. Barbara Comstock of Virginia, a Republican whom Trump in the past branded as a “RINO loser,” for Republican in name only.
Comstock was referring to the former White House counsel, the former attorney general and the former chief of staff to Vice President Mike Pence — all of whom gave closed-door testimony to the committee that painted Trump in an unflattering light.
“This is a pattern,” said Comstock, who is close to Cheney. “The president does this, and this is intentional.”
Some of the male witnesses have also suffered professional consequences and public rebukes for their candor. Rusty Bowers, the Arizona House speaker and a Republican, was censured by his state’s Republican Party after his emotional testimony before the Jan. 6 committee. Bowers, who is running for reelection, told NBC News that it would take “a miracle” for him to survive politically.
And Barr, who as attorney general directly told Trump that his claims of election fraud had no merit, echoed the sentiment about the realities of cooperation.
“I get a lot of vitriol from the right,” Barr said.
Yet while male witnesses have received some criticism from the right — in Cipollone’s case, Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., tweeted that he should “grow a spine & go on record” — the attacks have not been at the same volume or intensity, or of the same degree of personal nastiness, as those against Hutchinson in particular.
Trump’s allies insist they have substantive concerns about what Hutchinson has told the committee. They have raised specific challenges on matters of fact in her testimony, homing in on a discrepancy between her account and that of Eric Herschmann, a former White House lawyer. Each has claimed authorship of a handwritten note displayed at one of the hearings that provided instructions for what the president could have told rioters Jan. 6.
There has also been an effort to undermine the veracity of some of the most explosive parts of Hutchinson’s testimony. Secret Service officials, who spoke to reporters on the condition of anonymity, disputed a scene that Hutchinson said she had been told about in which Trump was said to have grabbed a Secret Service agent and lunged for the steering wheel of the SUV he was riding in as he demanded to be driven to the Capitol on Jan. 6.
But the swiftness of the Twitter attack on Matthews was notable given that it came from her own colleagues. The Twitter account for the House Republican Conference that singled her out is run by two former Trump campaign aides.
Under the stewardship of Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York, who replaced Cheney as the No. 3 House Republican, the Twitter account has taken on an aggressive tone throughout the hearings — intended to please the proverbial “audience of one.” | https://www.presstelegram.com/2022/07/23/in-jan-6-hearings-gender-divide-has-been-strong-undercurrent-2/ | 2022-07-23T22:14:15Z | https://www.presstelegram.com/2022/07/23/in-jan-6-hearings-gender-divide-has-been-strong-undercurrent-2/ | true | 11 |
GLENEAGLES, Scotland (AP) — Darren Clarke's bid for a first senior major title wobbled as he lost his overnight two-shot lead at the Senior British Open and Paul Broadhurst pulled level at 9 under overall after the third round on Saturday.
Clarke needed a birdie on the last hole to catch Broadhurst, who posted a 4-under 66 to Clarke's 69 at Gleneagles.
“I’ve gone out there and I’ve played nicely all day. I’ve given myself chance after chance. I’ve hit good putts," Clarke said. “I’ve hit 17 greens leading the tournament and played lovely. At least one decided to go in at the last.”
Clarke dropped shots on the 12th and 13th holes but steadied himself to stay in contention for another trophy after winning the British Open's Claret Jug in 2011.
“It would be pretty cool to have both of them sitting beside each other," he said. “I would love to win the Senior Open as well as the main Open.”
But Clarke and Broadhurst face a tough final round on Sunday with New Zealand’s Steven Alker and American Jerry Kelly — both senior major champions — in a tie for third and only one behind them at 8 under.
Four-time major champion Ernie Els and three-time major winner Padraig Harrington are three strokes off the pace at 6 under, along with Colin Montgomerie, Stuart Appleby and Thongchai Jaidee.
“Just look at the leaderboard, some top names right behind me," Broadhurst said. "I’m under no illusions, I’m going to have to go out and shoot a number tomorrow.”

Manchester United Full-Back Diogo Dalot Reveals Plans For Future
In an interview with Stretford Paddock, Diogo Dalot provided insight into the present pre-season situation at Manchester United.
United drew 2-2 with Aston Villa in Perth, conceding an injury time equalizer from a corner.
The right-back made an impressive assist in United’s friendly against Crystal Palace in Melbourne, cushioning down a ball from Tyrell Malacia with his chest and whipping an accurate cross with his weaker foot into Anthony Martial whilst under pressure from two Palace players.
Dalot, who has performed well overall in pre-season so far, spoke after the Villa match about the general feeling in the dressing room during the Thai/Australian tour,
“Very good. Difficult game today but in the end I think we are happy with the tour. Positive feelings, good energy. We look forward to the beginning of the season.”
Dalot was signed for £19 million during his compatriot José Mourinho’s reign, with his former manager suggesting that the young defender’s career trajectory could be similar to that of Gary Neville’s.
He struggled, however, to make an impact under Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s management. The Norwegian signed Aaron Wan-Bissaka to fit his counter-attacking style of play.
Dalot was subsequently sent on loan to AC Milan, making 21 Serie A appearances across the 2020/21 season for I Rossoneri.
During this pre-season tour, he has largely featured behind Jadon Sancho on the right-hand side. Dalot spoke about his growing relationship with Sancho,
“We have to build relationships with everyone, not just with Jadon. I think the connection between us has to be perfect - inside and outside the pitch, so we can be ready for the season.”
United has been linked to Inter Milan right-back Denzel Dumfries this transfer window. Nonetheless, Erik ten Hag is said to be a particular fan of his current option in Dalot.
Whilst in Milan, Dalot was said to have consistently sought advice from the club’s sporting director and legendary full-back Paolo Maldini. He increased his muscle mass and adopted a nutrition program.
Dalot was asked by Adam McKola whether it is both his desire and prime opportunity to cement his place in United’s starting eleven this season, to which he confidently stated,
“Yeah, obviously. That’s why I came here. I came here to play; I came here to help the club. I’m doing that every day and I hope I can help the team for a long time.”

4 Dollar Store Items Americans Are Purchasing the Most Right Now
Dollar stores are a mainstay in American life, with a 2020 survey indicating that around 60% of Americans had shopped at a Dollar Tree in the previous 12 months. The two heavyweights in the industry are Dollar General and Dollar Tree, which purchased Family Dollar in 2015. But these true “dollar stores” are also under increasing competition from the likes of Target, Walmart, Ikea and Costco. Despite that, there are still some items shoppers can’t help saving on at dollar stores.

Read: Stimulus Updates To Know for Summer 2022
To determine what Americans are buying at dollar stores, GOBankingRates conducted a survey of 1,037 American adults in early April 2022. Highlights of the results are below, along with advice on what experts say you should and should not be buying at dollar stores.
What Is Most Bought at Dollar Stores?
Purchases made exclusively at dollar stores, as opposed to the other options such as Costco and Ikea, are diversified. Food was the most common response, at 24%, followed closely by personal care items, at 22%. Party supplies and home goods ranked highly as well, pulling in 17% and 15% of the vote, respectively.
What Is Least Bought at Dollar Stores?
The clear losers when it comes to items bought at dollar stores are kitchen appliances and apparel. As kitchen appliances are often high-dollar items, it makes sense that more consumers would use big-box stores like Costco for those types of purchases. Apparel, however, seems like it would be a good fit for a dollar store purchase, but it only generated about 4% of the vote.
What Should You Really Be Buying at Dollar Stores?
Dollar stores offer lots of low-cost merchandise, but some deals stand out more than others. While you can get equal or lower prices on some items at other stores, dollar stores shine in certain particular areas. According to experts, these are typically some of the best things to buy at a dollar store.
Greeting Cards
Dollar stores might not offer the widest variety of choice when it comes to greeting cards, but you can’t beat the price. Greeting cards at drugstores and other retailers commonly top $5 each, far more than you’ll pay at a dollar store.
Picture Frames
Unless you’re looking for a fancy embossed frame to house your new Monet, dollar stores offer perfectly functional frames for much lower prices than at other outlets.
Picnic and Party Supplies
Dollar stores are perfect outlets for one-time events, such as picnics and parties. As you won’t need your products to last more than one time, you don’t have to spend the money to invest in more durable items. Just be sure that you buy enough, as dollar store per-pack quantities are often small.

Human nature dictates that we seek out the cheapest price for items we want to buy. However, sometimes price isn’t everything. Although low prices can be found at dollar stores, sometimes the items offered are of lower quality or nearing their expiration dates. For this reason, experts advise that you shouldn’t simply buy everything you need at a dollar store. These items in particular have been noted by experts as things to avoid at dollar stores.
Batteries
Most dollar store batteries are carbon-zinc instead of alkaline. Although the price is right, you’ll likely have to replace those batteries very frequently. Carbon-zinc batteries can also be damaging to devices if they leak.
Beauty Products
Beauty products at dollar stores are often old or lower quality. Unless you can find some marked-down name brands, it’s best to skip the beauty aisle, especially in the case of SPF products, which may no longer provide the protection you need.
Tools
When you buy a tool, you need it to be durable to handle heavy impacts and strong forces. Dollar store tools typically can’t cope.

(iSeeCars) – The electric car market has exploded in recent years. And with gasoline prices at record highs, many consumers are considering purchasing an all-electric vehicle. Today there are more electric cars on the market than ever, and among them are relatively affordable options for consumers who want a zero-emission vehicle that won’t break the bank.
While there are more new electric cars to choose from because many of these cars just came to market, there are also several used electric cars to choose from to provide even greater savings.
The Cheapest Electric Cars: New Cars
There are currently 15 electric cars on the market that have starting MSRPs less than $50,000. Here is a list of the cheapest EVs:
The most affordable electric car is the Nissan LEAF, with a base price of $27,400. With a range of 149 miles in its base model, its range improves on upper trims including 215 miles in the LEAF Plus trim and 226 miles of range in the S Plus trim. The compact hatchback is in the middle of the pack for range, but provides more than enough battery life for the daily commute. The second-most affordable is the MINI Hardtop 2 Door, which has the lowest range of the vehicles on the list, and it is also the smallest in size to make it ideal for city driving.
A pair of electric Chevy models earn the third and fourth spots, the Chevrolet Bolt hatchback, and its new-for-2022 crossover version the Chevrolet Bolt EUV. Both the Chevy Bolt hatchback and the Bolt EUV earn respectable range and are praised for their driving dynamics and affordability. The Bolt offers DC fast charging capability and offers infotainment features including a 10.2-inch touch screen, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.
Rounding out the top five is Mazda’s first all-electric vehicle, the MX-30 compact crossover. The MX-30 features Mazda’s engaging driving dynamics but falls short with its electric range due to its small battery pack. The vehicle was introduced in California in 2021 and is set to become available in the rest of the U.S. in 2022.
Hyundai and Kia models are well-represented on the list, including the Hyundai Kona Electric, the Kia Niro EV, the Kia EV6, and the Hyundai IONIQ 5. The mechanically similar Hyundai Kona and Kia Niro have been available as all-electric vehicles since 2019, while the EV6 and IONIQ 5 electric SUVs just entered the market in 2022. The Kona and Niro are subcompact SUVs, while the EV6 and IONIQ 5 are compact electric SUVs offering more cargo and passenger space. Rear-wheel-drive (RWD) Ioniq 5 models feature a single electric motor with 225 horsepower, while all-wheel-drive (AWD) models feature two electric motors with a combined output of 320 horsepower. The Kia offers more powertrain options including a base engine with a 58-kWh battery pack and a single 167-horsepower electric motor. The upper trims feature a 77.4-kWh battery with the same output as the IONIQ 5. Though not luxury vehicles, the IONIQ 5 and the EV6 are critically acclaimed and draw comparisons to the Tesla Model Y.
The highly anticipated Ford F-150 Lightning all-electric pickup truck makes the list with its starting price falling just under $40,000. The Lightning offers an EPA-estimated 230 miles of driving range on a full charge in its entry-level base form with its 98-kWh Standard Range battery pack. The base Ford F-150 Lightning can tow 5,000 pounds when paired with its Standard Range battery and up to 7,700 pounds when paired with the Extended Range battery. A towing package can be added to improve these ratings to 7,700 and 10,000 pounds. The F-150 Lightning also comes with a suite of driver-assist features including blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning, forward collision warning, forward automatic emergency braking, and adaptive headlights.
The Cheapest Electric Cars: Used Cars
For drivers who want even more affordable electric cars, there are many used versions to choose from. However, these vehicles were among the first EVs on the market, and do not benefit from the technological advances in battery range. Here are the cheapest five-year-old used electric cars you can buy:
With the exception of the Nissan LEAF and the Chevrolet Bolt EV, each model on the list has been discontinued. The 2017 Nissan LEAF has about half the battery range of its newest version, and 2017 is the last model year for the previous generation. Used car buyers seeking longer ranges should consider LEAFs from the 2018 model year and newer. The 2017 Chevy Bolt has the longest range of 238 miles and boasts a price tag of under $25,000 on average.
The price of used electric cars can also vary by geographic area, so buyers should refer to the best and worst cities to buy used electric cars.
Other Considerations: Federal Tax Credit
Another consideration for buyers of new EVs is the federal tax credit. The EV tax credit is a federal incentive that encourages drivers to purchase a plug-in electric vehicle. This credit applies to all electric and plug-in vehicles, but it phases out once an automaker reaches 200,000 sales of the qualifying vehicle. All Tesla models and the Chevrolet Bolt EV and EUV are no longer eligible for the tax credit. A list of qualifying vehicles can be found on the U.S. Department of Energy’s website, fueleconomy.org.
Bottom Line
While electric vehicles tend to be more expensive than their gasoline counterparts, there are affordable EVs on the market for both new and used car shoppers. It’s also worth noting that along with fuel savings, electric vehicles tend to have lower maintenance costs because they don’t require routine maintenance like oil changes, and their regenerative braking improves brake life. Electric cars are also the future of transportation, as most automakers have pledged to fully electrify their fleets and to phase out gasoline cars. Additionally, the charging infrastructure continues to make significant gains and many EVs now offer fast-charging ports to allow for faster charging times.

Dwayne Johnson went a few steps beyond merely teasing his long-awaited “Black Adam” movie at Comic-Con in San Diego on Saturday.
Ever the showman, Johnson brought a new traile r for the DC Comics superhero film and some flashy technology, lighting up the biggest room at the annual fan convention all while in costume. But he had another big reveal too: Johnson told the 6,000-some people in the audience that they could see “Black Adam” in IMAX for free with the help of the ticketing service Fandango.
The character Black Adam has the powers of the ancient gods and has been entombed for some 5,000 years before being released into the modern world. In the trailer he says his powers are “a curse, not a gift.”
Set for an Oct. 21 theatrical release, “Black Adam” reunites Johnson with his “Jungle Cruise” director Jaume Collet-Serra. It also stars Aldis Hodge as Hawkman, Noah Centineo as Atom Smasher and Quintessa Swindell as Cyclone, all of whom joined Johnson and Collet-Serra for the panel.
“Black Adam” was just one part of Warner Bros. return to Comic-Con, where audiences also got a glimpse at a new trailer for “ Shazam! Fury of the Gods.” Stars Zachary Levi and Lucy Liu were on hand to promote the sequel, which is due to arrive in theaters on Dec. 21 and continues the story of a teenager-turned-superhero who is feeling a bit like a fraud. The film sees the return of Asher Angel, Jack Dylan Grazer and Adam Brody and adds Helen Mirren and Rachel Zegler of “West Side Story” to the mix.
The studio stuck to its 2022 superhero releases, forgoing sneak peeks at films due next year. One of those is “The Flash,” whose star Ezra Miller was arrested in Hawaii twice this year — in a disorderly conduct case and on suspicion of assault.
Miller plays Barry Allen in the Andy Muschietti-directed film, which has wrapped production and is supposed to open in June 2023. They have been credited as the first out LGBT person to play a lead role in a major superhero film. | https://www.kelownadailycourier.ca/business_news/national_business/article_24f67a03-12e0-57b9-bc7a-4b5972a8a9b4.html | 2022-07-23T22:45:59Z | https://www.kelownadailycourier.ca/business_news/national_business/article_24f67a03-12e0-57b9-bc7a-4b5972a8a9b4.html | false | 22 |
Authorities bust multi-million-dollar drug operation with ties to Mexican drug cartels
HAMILTON COUNTY, Texas (KWTX/Gray News) - Texas authorities have arrested multiple people with ties to a major drug operation.
According to the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office, 22 people are facing charges in a methamphetamine trafficking scheme allegedly responsible for distributing more than 1,000 pounds of meth worth at least $24 million.
Investigators said the group has ties directly to drug cartels in Mexico, with their investigation starting in October of 2019.
KWTX reports the sheriff’s office identified the alleged criminal enterprise was operating within nearly 10 Texas counties.
Investigators shared that they started working undercover and began purchasing methamphetamine from the alleged traffickers to build a criminal case.
Authorities said their investigation revealed the illegal drug was being sold and transported within Texas from Mexico. Liquid methamphetamine was reportedly being smuggled into the U.S. and transported to Dallas. That product would then be converted to crystal meth and sold in kilogram quantities.
The sheriff’s office says investigators conducted more than 200 hours of interviews and hundreds of hours of surveillance while going through thousands of social media pages.
“This was a great effort to stop the flow of narcotics to our rural communities and it sends a message to those who may try to deal meth in the future,” said Hamilton County Sheriff Justin Caraway.
In addition to being “directly linked” to Mexican drug cartel traffickers, authorities said the defendants also have ties to the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas, the Aryan Circle and street gangs.
According to the sheriff’s office, the 22 defendants are facing charges that include knowingly and intentionally possessing with the intent to manufacture and distribute 500 grams or more of methamphetamine.
Those convicted could be sentenced to a minimum of 10 years in prison with paying a fine of up to $10 million.
Hamilton County authorities said their investigation continues, which could produce further arrests.
Authorities released the following names of those currently facing charges:
- Ricky Castillo, 35, of Irving, Texas.
- Brandon Leon Kimberling, 25, of Dallas, Texas.
- Desiree Traxel, 25, of Dallas, Texas.
- Sandi Kristine Villicana, 33 of Arlington, Texas.
- Chad Anthony Hughes, 41, of Dallas, Texas.

Students at Cooke Elementary school recently received a creative gift from some high schoolers. The extra special present was hand painted by students in the gifted program at Landstown High School.
The gift, a bright and colorful mural, was presented during a dedication ceremony in May. The inspirational mural was the product of the “Better Together” project sponsored by the ViBe District.
The program asks artists to design murals that include positive imagery or quotes and embraces cultural individuality. Cooke’s new mural design includes two hands of different skin tones holding up the “House of Cooke.” The school is divided into four house names labeled in Spanish: house of respect, house of safety, house of kindness and house of responsibility. Also, the school’s mascot, a seahawk, is seen riding a wave.
Victoria Milosevich, the gifted resource specialist at Landstown, wrote the grant for the project. She said the idea of creating a mural came after the students met with Kate Pittman, executive director of the ViBe Creative District.
“The kids loved the idea of giving back to the community by creating a mural for another school,” said Milosevich. “The idea and design came from the kids. Once Kate told us there was a project called ‘Better Together,’ the students jumped at the idea.”
The process of creating the mural started in January with a brainstorming session with Casey Conger, Cooke’s principal. Students asked questions about the school colors and themes and based their sketches off of her needs. All students from the school were able to sign up for this grant project, and no art experience was needed. Some students signed up for brainstorming sessions, and others chose to participate in the painting.
Weekend Scoop
Milosevich said she was continually surprised by how many students chose to show up to be part of this project. It was all voluntary.
“I was impressed with the dedication the core group of students had toward this and the attention they had to detail when painting,” she said. “The students not only created art for another school, but now want to continue doing work with Cooke Elementary students next year as a community service.”
RhiaMae Mateo, a sophomore, said everyone was unified and passionate about reaching their goal.
“I enjoyed learning about something that I never expected to be a part of,” said Mateo. “My favorite part is knowing we are helping make others happy through our mural creation.”
Madeleine Milstead, a sophomore, said it was fun to see her design come to life. “This project made me realize I can positively impact people around me with art. Art brings people together.”
Milosevich said the students learned you don’t have to consider yourself an artist to be part of an artistic project such as murals. You can still come up with ideas. “Collaboration is a beautiful and important thing,” said Milosevich. “We can all work together to make big things happen.”

STAFFORD, Texas (KTRK) -- Fort Bend County deputies have arrested a Baltimore, Maryland, chiropractor accused of the sexual assault of a child he met online through an online game, according to the Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office.
The video above is from our 24/7 Livestream.
Blake Edward Kalkstein,37, was arrested by deputies on July 6 at 11:15 a.m. in the 700 block of Dulles Avenue in Stafford, Texas.
According to deputies, Kalkstein traveled to Fort Bend County to commit the alleged offense.
During the investigation, FBSCO learned that Kalkstein traveled to Fort Bend County in May and July 2022. He is a gamer and used one of the many platforms he was on to lure the young victim to him.
Fort Bend County Sheriff Eric Fagan says gaming platforms are a common social medium for sexual abusers who prey on innocent children. He strongly recommends parents keep an eye out for their children's online usage.
"Unfortunately, in our society, sexual predators are using entertainment platforms such as video games to chat and text with our children. It's disgusting," Sheriff Fagan said.
"I urge parents to carefully monitor and control their children's online activity on social media apps and games."
Kalkstein is charged with sexual assault of a child and is booked on two second-degree felony warrants in the Fort Bend County Jail with a $100,000 bond on each charge.

Pope Francis' trip to Canada to apologize for the horrors of church-run Indigenous residential schools marks a radical rethink of the Catholic Church's missionary legacy, spurred on by the first pope from the Americas and the discovery of hundreds of probable graves at the school sites.
Francis has said his weeklong visit, which begins Sunday, is a "penitential pilgrimage" to beg forgiveness on Canadian soil for the "evil" done to Native peoples by Catholic missionaries. It follows his April 1 apology in the Vatican for the generations of trauma Indigenous peoples suffered as a result of a church-enforced policy to eliminate their culture and assimilate them into Canadian, Christian society.
Francis' tone of personal repentance has signaled a notable shift for the papacy, which has long acknowledged abuses in the residential schools and strongly asserted the rights and dignity of Indigenous peoples. But past popes have also hailed the sacrifice and holiness of the European Catholic missionaries who brought Christianity to the Americas — something Francis, too, has done but isn't expected to emphasize during this trip.
Cardinal Michael Czerny, a Canadian Jesuit who is a top papal adviser, recalled that early on in his papacy, Francis asserted that no single culture can claim a hold on Christianity, and that the church cannot demand that people on other continents imitate the European way of expressing the faith.
"If this conviction had been accepted by everyone involved in the centuries after the 'discovery' of the Americas, much suffering would have been avoided, great developments would have occurred and the Americas would be all-around better," he told The Associated Press in an email.
The trip won't be easy for the 85-year-old Francis or for residential school survivors and their families. Francis can no longer walk without assistance and will be using a wheelchair and cane because of painful strained knee ligaments. Trauma experts are being deployed at all events to provide mental health assistance for school survivors, given the likelihood of triggering memories.
"It is an understatement to say there are mixed emotions," said Chief Desmond Bull of the Louis Bull Tribe, one of the First Nations that are part of the Maskwacis territory where Francis will deliver his first sweeping apology on Monday near the site of a former residential school.
The Canadian government has admitted that physical and sexual abuse were rampant in the state-funded, Christian schools that operated from the 19th century to the 1970s. Some 150,000 Indigenous children were taken from their families and forced to attend in an effort to isolate them from the influence of their homes, Native languages and cultures.
The legacy of that abuse and isolation from family has been cited by Indigenous leaders as a root cause of the epidemic rates of alcohol and drug addiction on Canadian reservations.
"For survivors from coast to coast, this is an opportunity — the first and maybe the last — to perhaps find some closure for themselves and their families," said Chief Randy Ermineskin of the Ermineskin Cree Nation.
"This will be a difficult process but a necessary one," he said.
Unlike most papal trips, diplomatic protocols are taking a back seat to personal encounters with First Nations, Metis and Inuit survivors. Francis doesn't formally meet with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau until midway through, in Quebec City, although Trudeau will greet him on the tarmac upon his arrival Sunday.
Francis is also ending the trip in unusual style, stopping in Iqaluit, Nunavut — the farthest north he's ever traveled — to bring his apology to the Inuit community before flying back to Rome.
As recently as 2018, Francis had refused to personally apologize for residential school abuses, even after Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission in 2015 documented institutional blame and specifically recommended a papal apology delivered on Canadian soil.
Trudeau traveled to the Vatican in 2017 to appeal to Francis to apologize, but the pontiff felt "he could not personally respond" to the call, Canadian bishops said at the time.
What changed? The first pope from the Americas, who has long defended the rights of Indigenous peoples, had already apologized in Bolivia in 2015 for colonial-era crimes against Native peoples.
In 2019, Francis — an Argentine Jesuit — hosted a big Vatican conference on the Amazon highlighting that injustices Native peoples suffered during colonial times were still continuing, with their lands and resources exploited by corporate interests.
Then in 2021, the remains of around 200 children were found at the site of what was once Canada's largest Indigenous residential school, in Kamloops, British Columbia. More probable graves followed outside other former residential schools.
"It was only when our children were beginning to be found in mass graves, garnering international attention, that light was brought to this painful period in our history," said Bull, the Louis Bull Tribe chief.
After the discovery, Francis finally agreed to meet with Indigenous delegations last spring and promised to come to their lands to apologize in person.
"Obviously, there are wounds that remained open and require a response," Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni said, when asked about the evolution of the papal response.
One of those wounds concerns the papal influences in the Doctrine of Discovery, the 19th-century international legal concept that is often understood as legitimizing the European colonial seizure of land and resources from Native peoples.
For decades, Indigenous peoples have demanded the Holy See formally rescind the 15th century papal bulls, or decrees, that gave European kingdoms the religious backing to claim lands that their explorers "discovered" for the sake of spreading the Christian faith.
Church officials have long rejected those concepts, insisted the decrees merely sought to ensure European expansion would be peaceful, and said they had been surpassed by subsequent church teachings strongly affirming the dignity and rights of Indigenous peoples.
But the matter is still raw for Michelle Schenandoah, a member of the Oneida Nation Wolf Clan, who was the last person to address the pope when the First Nations delegation met with him on March 31.
Wearing a cradle board on her back to represent the children whose lives were lost in residential schools, she told him the Doctrine of Discovery had "led to the continual taking of our babies."
"It deprived us of our dignity, our freedom, and led to the exploitation of our Mother Earth," she said. She begged Francis to "release the world from its place of enslavement" caused by the decrees.
Asked about the calls, Bruni said there was an articulated "reflection" under way in the Holy See but he didn't think anything would be announced during this trip. | https://www.voanews.com/a/pope-s-indigenous-tour-signals-a-rethink-of-mission-legacy/6671183.html | 2022-07-23T23:03:22Z | https://www.voanews.com/a/pope-s-indigenous-tour-signals-a-rethink-of-mission-legacy/6671183.html | true | 21 |
New Delhi [India], July 24 (ANI): Following the arrest of West Bengal Minister Partha Chatterjee by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with a money laundering case, Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury on Saturday said that 'everyone in Bengal knew about this scam' and demanded the agencies to nab the culprits soon.
"Everyone in Bengal knew about this (scam). After the court's intervention, investigation agencies started acting upon it. We want culprits to be punished," West Bengal Congress chief AR Chowdhury said to ANI on Saturday.
In view of these developments, Trinamool Congress accused the Bharatiya Janata Party of using probe agencies for political vendetta. The party also said that it will take action against the minister if he is proven guilty.
Chatterjee and his aide were arrested on Saturday in a case linked to the alleged teacher recruitment scam in the state. The arrest comes hours after Rs 20 crore was recovered from minister's aide Arpita Mukherjee.
"We are closely watching the situation and we have all faith in the judiciary. After the judiciary gives its verdict, we will be able to make a decision. The All India Trinamool Congress will not tolerate any malpractice in the party or government. After the judiciary comes out with its verdict, then only the Trinamool Congress will act. We believe the BJP is behind the play. Whoever has switched to BJP has been untouched and whoever has stayed back is being harassed," Trinamool leader Firhad Hakim said.
Chatterjee, 69, who presently holds the industry and state parliamentary affairs portfolios of the Mamata Banerjee government, was the education minister from 2014 to 2021, during which the alleged irregularities in teacher recruitment occurred. He was arrested by the ED after around 26 hours of grilling at his residence since Friday morning in connection with its probe into the alleged school jobs scam.
The CBI, as directed by the Calcutta High Court, is looking into the alleged irregularities committed in the recruitment of Group-C and D staff as well as teachers in government-sponsored and aided schools on recommendations of the West Bengal School Service Commission. The ED is tracking the money trail in the scam.
On July 21, Chowdhury called West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress (TMC) chief Mamata Banerjee a 'political fraudster, and a political liar to the infinity'. Chowdhury was commenting on the TMC's decision to not back the Opposition's Vice Presidential candidate Margaret Alva alleging that the party was not consulted on her candidature.
"Mamata Banerjee is the most fraudulent/duplicitous politician in India. Political liar to the power infinity...thy name is Mamata Banerjee. Political fraudster to the power infinity...thy name is Mamata Banerjee...political imposter to the power infinity...thy name is Mamata Banerjee. Mark my words," Chowdhury said.

The fire erupted at a building located at 2603 W. Crestmoore Place at 9:50 a.m.
Firefighters said there were three buildings at the property, and when they arrived, one was fully engulfed while another was left damaged.
It took firefighters about 20 minutes to put out the blaze, preventing it from spreading to nearby brush and other homes.
Authorities said one firefighter had to be treated for smoke inhalation and was taken to the hospital.
There was no immediate word on the identity of the victim. The cause of the fire remains under investigation. | https://abc7.com/glassell-park-house-fire-one-person-dead-crestmoore-place/12069535/ | 2022-07-23T23:32:25Z | https://abc7.com/glassell-park-house-fire-one-person-dead-crestmoore-place/12069535/ | false | null |
West High football ready to take program to new heights
Head Coach Lamar Brown is hopeful if this level of work ethic continues this team can go further than they have before.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) - In just under a month, the lights cut on for the West High Rebels.
The team that went 11-3 and undefeated in the region last year is determined to take its program to new heights.
Head Coach Lamar Brown, who enters his sixth year with the team, said this is a team that gets better every day because of the way they practice.
Brown added they have a lot of youth on their team but not a lack of experience. Sophomores like Anderson Smith, outside linebacker, have some experience from playing last season due to team injuries.
This team continues to improve because Brown said this is a group that feeds off competition.
He’s hopeful if this level of work ethic continues this team can go further than they have before.
“We want to be the best that we can be every Friday night. We want to put in the work that it takes to do that. Our kids understand that, they know what it takes, and they know that it’s hard. There’s a few steps that we haven’t been able to climb yet that our kids are excited to get to go out and prove that they can take those last couple of steps,” said Brown.
The Rebels start their season on the road Saturday, August 20 against Bearden.

A look at what’s happening around the majors on Saturday:
___
FLABBERGASTED AT FENWAY
Jarren Duran and the Red Sox will try to shake off what happened at Fenway Park, where Toronto went on a run rampage that included an inside-the-park grand slam thanks to Duran’s misplay and negligence.
The Blue Jays set a franchise record for runs in the 28-5 rout, and Raimel Tapia’s inside-the-parker accounted for four of the most unusual ones.
Tapia hit a fly to center in the third inning, and Duran took a couple steps back, then a couple in, then put up his hands in confusion. Fans groaned when the ball landed on the warning track behind him.
Duran walked slowly toward the ball while left fielder Alex Verdugo raced over, slid to scoop it up and fired it toward the infield. The relay home wasn’t close to nabbing Tapia, who picked up speed when he realized Duran had lost the ball.
The 25-year-old Duran, in his second major league season, is in a 3-for-35 slump, including a strikeout to end Friday’s game.
YOU AGAIN?
Justin Verlander makes his fifth start of the season against Seattle, and aims for his major league-leading 13th win.
The 39-year-old Houston ace has been dominant in his return from Tommy John surgery, going 12-3 with a 1.89 ERA. He was picked for his ninth All-Star team but didn’t pitch Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium.
Verlander has won four straight starts, allowing just two earned runs in 27 innings. He’s 3-1 against the Mariners this year going into this outing in Seattle.
Right-hander Logan Gilbert (10-3, 2.76) starts for the Mariners.
NEW YORK NEWCOMER
The NL East-leading Mets added a much-needed bat at designated hitter, getting former All-Star Daniel Vogelbach from Pittsburgh in a trade for rookie reliever Colin Holderman.
The burly Vogelbach is a lefty hitter who was batting .228 with 12 home runs, 34 RBIs and a .769 OPS in 75 games with the rebuilding Pirates.
New York has gotten little production at DH from J.D. Davis and injured Dominic Smith. At the time of the trade, Davis, a right-handed hitter, was batting .234 with three homers, 19 RBIs and a .670 OPS in 62 games. A left-handed hitter, Smithwas batting .194 with no homers, 17 RBIs and a .560 OPS in 58 games.
The 26-year-old Holderman is 4-0 with a 2.04 ERA and 18 strikeouts in 15 appearances covering 17 2/3 innings.
AILING CHISOX
Hoping to make a push in the second half, the White Sox will be minus center fielder Luis Robert after putting him on the 10-day injured list because of blurred vision.
General manager Rick Hahn said the team is “cautiously optimistic” the slugger and Gold Glove winner will be ready to return when the White Sox open a three-game series against Oakland on July 29.
Robert exited Chicago’s win at division leader Minnesota on July 15 in the second inning because of lightheadedness. He was having trouble seeing from a distance and getting jumps on balls, Hahn said. Robert then missed the final two games before the All-Star break.
Robert is batting .301 with 12 homers and 54 RBIs in 74 games.
Robert missed time in May because of COVID-19. But Hahn said he would “hate to speculate” whether these symptoms stem from his bout with the coronavirus.

A medical examination carried out yesterday morning attested that defender Renan Victor da Silva was not intoxicated or intoxicated at 10:07 am, about four hours after he had run over and killed motorcyclist Eliezer Pena in Bragança Paulista (SP).
The “Auto de Examination of Clinical Finding of Drunkenness” lists 13 characteristics in the player’s way of acting that allowed the doctor to verify that he was “not intoxicated, without elements for alcoholism”, as stated in the pen in the document, to which the UOL Esporte had access.
The 20-year-old defender, hired by Palmeiras and loaned to Bragantino, was driving a Honda Civic when he ran over Eliezer, who died instantly. The player was not injured and was arrested in the act by the State Highway Police. Police said he had breath with “ethyl odor” at the time, but no signs of intoxication. On the advice of attorney Marcus Valle, Renan refused to take a breathalyzer test right after the hit-and-run.
Excerpt from the document that reports the clinical examination performed on Renan:
“Attitude: visibly excited, talking a lot?
No
Orientation: do you know where you are and why?
Yea
Memory: Do you remember what you did in the last few hours?
Yea
Voiceover: Difficulty articulating words?
No
Staggering gait?
No
Ethyl breath?
No
Does the patient present clinical signs of ingestion of alcohol and/or similar substance?
No”
In the examination, the doctor in charge noted that Renan was “tearful and anxious”. Delegate Aline Ferreira said that the athlete admitted to drinking alcohol at a party the night before. She considered indicting him for intentional homicide (when there is an intention to kill or when the risk of producing death is assumed), but she backed out when the clinical exam was negative for drunkenness.
Renan’s crime was initially classified as manslaughter, which carries a sentence of two to four years. As he also did not have a driving license, the penalty could increase. The classification can still change if the Public Ministry considers that the defender took the risk of killing the victim. If framed in the crime of intentional homicide, the athlete will be tried by the Jury Court and may face a sentence of up to 20 years in prison.
After spending a night in prison, he was released with a promise to pay a R$242,000 bond within 72 hours. Marcus Valle, a lawyer who accompanied him to the custody hearing, said Renan was still in a state of shock today. “It was very difficult to even talk to him. He was very shocked, totally scared, as if it hadn’t sunk in yet,” he said. | https://thegoaspotlight.com/2022/07/23/clinical-examination-attests-that-defender-renan-was-not-drunk-when-he-was-arrested-07-23-2022/ | 2022-07-24T00:00:36Z | https://thegoaspotlight.com/2022/07/23/clinical-examination-attests-that-defender-renan-was-not-drunk-when-he-was-arrested-07-23-2022/ | false | 2 |
House of the Dragon: What we know about the Games of Thrones spin-off
By Rebecca Seales
BBC News, Comic-Con San Diego
- Published
"What can we expect? Fire and blood!"
"And dragons!"
That's showrunner Ryan Condal and author George RR Martin on the upcoming Game of Thrones (GoT) prequel, House of the Dragon, which swoops onto HBO on 21 August.
Fans of Thrones, the endlessly feud-filled fantasy epic that became one of the most successful series in television history, can be reassured it'll have much in common with the original.
But those still furious about the divisive finale to season eight will want to know: Is it worth investing their time and emotions in yet more conniving candidates for the Iron Throne?
Here's what we learned about the series on Saturday, as the cast and creators revealed an extended trailer at Comic-Con San Diego - so you can judge for yourself.
It's a family affair (not unlike Jaime and Cersei…)
House Of The Dragon is set 200 years before Game Of Thrones, and follows the fortunes of the Targaryens - a noble family with the power to control dragons.
It's based on George RR Martin's 2018 novel Fire & Blood, in which the Targaryens unleash the worst imaginable family row - a gruesome civil war.
King Viserys (Paddy Considine) sits on the Iron Throne, the most dangerous chair in Westeros, as Lord of the Seven Kingdoms. And the succession is proving competitive.
"I will not be made to choose between my brother and my daughter!" he rages in the extended trailer for the series. As Viserys is described as a decent man, a good king who believes in duty, the brutal forces of Westeros will likely contrive to crush that goal like Gregor Clegane crushes skulls. (No spoilers…)
The Stark and Lannister families, who dominated GoT, will appear mostly as bit players.
We meet the Targaryens at the pinnacle of their power and wealth. Oh, and they've got 17 dragons and they ride them.
The dragons are coming
GoT fans will recall what Daenerys Targaryen (a descendant of these characters, played by Emilia Clarke) managed to achieve with three dragons. That makes 17 an intriguing prospect - and a potentially devastating weapon.
"It was important to differentiate the way they behaved and acted and bonded with their riders," Condal told the audience at Comic-Con's highest-profile venue, Hall H.
"George [RR Martin] specified their colour and size and age", and the rest was fleshed out from there.
For example, Caraxes - whose riders include Prince Daemon Targaryen, played by Doctor Who alumnus Matt Smith, is dubbed the Blood Wyrm due to his cantankerous nature and general ferocity.
"We've designed dragons that you won't even see in Season one," promises Condal.
Describing what it's like to film the dragon riding, Milly Alcock - who plays young Rhaenyra Targaryen, mused: "You're propped up on what looks like a mechanical bull that you might ride in a bar or pub, and it lifts up six feet in the air and there are four guys with leaf blowers.
"It's strange."
Good and evil? Well, nobody's perfect
Panel host and podcaster Jason Concepcion asked Martin what the ideal ruler of Westeros would be like.
"Someone who regards being king as a duty rather than something they are entitled to," he replied. "… And cares about building roads and sanitation in Kings Landing!"
Of King Viserys, he says: "At the end of his life, he wants a little glory - but he wants to be a good king, a wise king and protect his people."
And his potential heirs, the firstborn child Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen (Milly Alcock and Emma D'Arcy) and younger brother, Prince Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith)?
"I like the fact that the readers of Fire & Blood are divided on who is the hero and who is the villain," Martin observes. He hopes the show will evoke the same.
High Valerian and highlights
Fans of mythological linguistics may recall that the Targaryen family's mother tongue is High Valerian.
"Milly [Alcock] is the best!" was the cast's verdict when asked who had grasped it.
"I had one line, I think it's been cut!" joked Paddy Considine, before repeating it extremely convincingly.
What else goes into building a Targaryen?
"It's all in the wig!" says Emma D'Arcy.
Could a woman reign?
One final titbit from the trailer: We'll meet Princess Rhaenyra as she chafes against the path of a mother and passive court ornament that she fears has been set out for her.
Princess Rhaenys Velaryon (Eve Best) - herself passed over as queen in favour of her cousin, Viserys - is heard warning Rhaenyra: "A woman would not inherit the Iron Throne, because that is the order of things."
"When I am queen, I will create a new order," the younger woman replies. (Will this include banning such flummoxingly similar names for close relatives? We can dream…)
D'Arcy, who defines as non-binary, drew on their own experience to play a character dismantling what it means to be a woman.
George RR Martin contends that his fantasy world is no more sexist than the historical episodes that influenced it - though some medieval scholars have argued the era was less misogynist than GoT implies.
Could the Seven Kingdoms accept a queen on the Iron Throne?
Perhaps it depends if she brings her dragons.
House of the Dragon starts on HBO and HBO Max on 21 August, 2022 in the US. In the UK, it's Sky Atlantic on 22 August - or you can stream it online on NOW.

Sport for purpose series, Extreme E, has just completed an action-packed, first-ever double-header, the NEOM Island X Prix I and II, on the stunning island of Sardinia.
The event, co-organised by the Automobile Club d’Italia and Regione Sardegna, offered far more than just a thrilling motorsport spectacle. Away from the track, its drivers, scientists and partners all took centre stage when it came to supporting Sardinia’s sustainability initiatives.
Legacy Programmes
Alongside the on-course action, Extreme E’s drivers had the chance to get involved in several Legacy Programmes, including that of partner Vodafone Business which announced the next phase of its collaboration with Extreme E to support local environmental projects.
During 2021, devastating fires in Sardinia destroyed 20,000 hectares of land, displaced over 1,000 people and killed around 30 million bees. The calamity resulted in incalculable damage to thousands of livelihoods, as well as to nature, including damaging water quality in the ocean. Extreme E continues to help restore the historic olive groves lost to the wildfires.
Wildfires such as these across the world are responsible for 20% of total global CO2 emissions and cost $5bn to fight. Together, Extreme E and Vodafone Business have begun a fire prevention campaign within the area of Montiferru.
As part of this project, Vodafone Business is deploying long-life Low-Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) sensors to quickly detect any fire and promptly send an alert to the authorities – an innovation that supports Vodafone Business’ sustainability efforts, including agriculture, forestation and decarbonisation of energy grids.
The low-cost IoT gas sensors operate without the need for cellular coverage and will be installed in trees to detect the smouldering phase, before the fire takes hold, which will preserve forest footprint by shortening reaction times in the ‘golden hour’. Using a Mesh Gateway to connect to a cloud-based alert centre means this is a much faster-acting solution to the problem of wildfire detection than using cameras or satellites.
Newly appointed Championship Driver Fraser McConnell was on hand to test the technology out for himself.
Fraser McConnell, Extreme E Championship Driver, said: “Before I arrived, I did not realise just how much more there is to Extreme E outside of the racing. There is a lot of focus on building awareness of issues that people may not know about, or those that do know but are not sure how to help. I found it cool to finally be a part of it.
“I really enjoyed the Legacy Day with Vodafone Business. Everyone involved was extremely passionate and knowledgeable about the topic. It was so new for me – I was constantly asking questions and they probably got sick of me doing so!
“Everyone had a wealth of knowledge – especially Peter [Professor Wadhams, Extreme E’s Scientific Committee] and Vodafone Business regarding implementing their technology. It felt like everything was really coming together to make something applicable to helping.”
Meanwhile, other teams from the Extreme E grid took to immersing themselves in the surrounding waters of the Mediterranean. Snorkelling in Laguna di Norato area, they were able to learn first-hand all about Posidonia oceanica, seagrass, and how Extreme E is helping to analyse and replenish seagrass beds in Sardinia.
Seagrass is thought to be one of the most rapidly declining ecosystems in the world, and Extreme E’s goal is to plant one million new plants of Posidonia oceanica by 2030.
Studies from the last ten years have shown that despite only occupying 0.04 per cent of the ocean floor, seagrass stores 10 per cent of the oceans carbon and can capture 30 per cent more from the atmosphere than its tropical rainforest equivalent. The drivers were able to see how it is being restored and conserved by local organisation, Mediterranean Sea and Coast Foundation (MEDSEA), with the support of Extreme E.
Professor Lucy Woodall, Extreme E’s ocean expert and member of the championship’s Scientific Committee, said:“In Sardinia the main shallow-water ecosystem is seagrass and, in general, seagrass is thought to be one of the most rapidly declining ecosystems in the world.
“These immense meadows of seagrass are valuable nurseries for young fish as well as valuable for blue carbon, where we would describe them as ‘ocean carbon storage habitats’. Consequently, preserving seagrass ecosystems is a vital step in combating the climate crisis. It was great to see so many of the Extreme E grid, as well as partners of the series, get involved to understand the importance of seagrass as well as snorkel down to the seagrass meadows to see how vibrant they are.”
Girls on Track
Alongside environmental issues, Extreme E’s visit to Sardinia continued to highlight the importance of equality in motorsport. Before the highly anticipated double-header, Extreme E invited local schoolgirls on-site introducing them to life behind the scenes of the ground-breaking championship.
The girls were given the thrilling opportunity to sit inside the cockpit of the colossal ODYSSEY 21 and witnessed the women in action in the Extreme E paddock. Several of the series’ female drivers, including Veloce Racing’s Christine GZ and XITE ENERGY Racing’s Tamara Molinaro, introduced the girls to the life of a racing driver.
To finish off an already unforgettable day, the awestruck girls were also given a front row seat to view the ODYSSEY 21s in action, piloted by some of the best female drivers in the world.
Christine GZ, Veloce Racing, said: “It’s been great to see the girls on track and it’s great for them to see how things work on the inside. Most of them were already racing, others not yet, and some were saying maybe one day we can too, to which I said if you work hard, you’ll get there.
“I told them that I started off as a mechanic which they found quite cool, and it was cool for me to get to talk to them in this way.
“The best part is the fact that they can see that there are female drivers in every team. The gender equality in this championship is great and to see that at this level it can happen with all the amazing drivers that are here was really encouraging for them.”
Tipping Point
A week of double the action saw more Tipping Point talks than ever before at Extreme E’s latest X Prix. These thought-provoking talks are now a firm fixture in the schedule, and in Sardinia covered topics ranging from the importance of technology and innovation in the fight against climate change to the positive impacts of blue and green carbon.
The talks opened with a dedicated focus on technology and innovation. Here, media and guests heard from Vodafone Business, EY and Enel X, all of whom play essential roles in Extreme E’s sustainability efforts.
Another talk, hosted by Professor Peter Wadhams of the Extreme E Scientific Committee, saw fellow committee member Professor Lucy Woodall and MEDSEA’s Alessio Satta discuss the importance of green carbon and possible solutions in the fight against wildfires.
Discussion points from another Tipping Point talk focussed on blue carbon, as Professor Lucy Woodall and Alessio Satta were joined by Francesca Frau from MEDSEA to elaborate on the leading role that oceans play in the delicate balance of our world’s climate.
Professor Peter Wadhams concluded: “From a racing perspective the double-header in Sardinia was definitely a flagship event for Extreme E, but I found that off-track the series was able to raise awareness of so many environmental issues which are currently impacting the climate crisis.
“There is still so much more to be done to highlight the significance of blue and green carbon and the current issues regarding them. Nevertheless, it was great to see ideas and solutions discussed by so many as we become more in tune with the significance of what’s happening to our planet.”

New Grocery Outlet Owners Propose New Changes for Wenatchee Store
New Grocery Outlet owners Kevin and Tonya Richmond are looking to upgrade the Wenatchee store by October of this year.
The duo bought the store on January 2, 2022 and are looking into upgrading the store layout, including new storage fixtures, replacing the shelving, adding beer coolers, and updating the fridges.
Kevin Richmond said they have no plans of making a “cookie-cutter” grocery store, hoping to dedicate an entire aisle for NOSH (Natural Organic Specialty and Healthy) items.
The parking lot will be painted and restriped by August 15, with final changes due by October, however that timeline depends on supply chain scheduling. | https://kpq.com/new-grocery-outlet-owners-propose-new-changes-for-wenatchee-store/ | 2022-07-24T00:16:17Z | https://kpq.com/new-grocery-outlet-owners-propose-new-changes-for-wenatchee-store/ | true | null |

Dancing With the Stars is welcoming Alfonso Ribeiro to the ballroom and Tom Bergeron has something to say about it.
Hours after ABC announced that the 2014 Mirrorball champion would be joining Tyra Banks as a cohost for season 31, Tom broke his silence about Dancing With the Stars’ latest change. As the DWTS fandom knows, Tom hosted the longtime competition show for 14 years before he was let go in the summer of 2020. The news also affected his cohost Erin Andrews, who received the same phone call, ending her five-year run on the popular TV series. But by the sounds of it, neither Tom nor Erin are upset about Alfonso’s next career move.
“Now, getting Conrad Green back as DWTS showrunner is only ONE of their smartest decisions. Here’s the other one 👏🏼,” Tom captioned a July 14 Instagram post. “Congratulations, buddy!” While the comedian didn’t mention Alfonso by name, he shared two heartwarming photos of them together.
What’s more, Alfonso responded to Tom, dropping a sweet message in his comments section. “I just hope I can make you proud,” he wrote. Tom reassured him with another note, replying: “I have no doubt 😉👍🏼.”
Coming full circle, Erin also chimed in with her own thoughts about Tom’s original caption. “I agree on both! Congrats @therealalfonsoribeiro,” she wrote.
In case you’re wondering what he was referring to, Tom had previously celebrated the news that TV veteran Conrad Green was returning to Dancing With the Stars as the showrunner and executive producer. He held the showrunner title for nearly a decade before he left in 2014. “Best decision they’ve made since 2005, when they hired him the first time 😉👏🏼,” Tom tweeted on June 27.
Without skipping a beat, Dancing With the Stars fans voiced their opinions as well. But there was a mix of emotions. On one hand, many joined Tom celebrating his fellow America’s Funniest Home Videos star and on the other, some couldn’t help but call for Tom's return again.
“I second this! Congratulations, Alfonso!” one person wrote in Tom's Instagram comments. “So glad to see Tom’s on board that makes me feel [so much] better,” another added. “Wish it was you and Erin, but happy that Alfonso will be joining. He’ll bring back the comedy!” a different fan said.
Whether Tom and Alfonso ever reunite in the ballroom is unknown but it seems like the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air actor will try to keep his legacy going. | https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/life/entertainment/a40678784/dancing-with-the-stars-2022-host-alfonso-ribeiro-tom-bergeron-erin-andrews/ | 2022-07-24T00:20:21Z | https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/life/entertainment/a40678784/dancing-with-the-stars-2022-host-alfonso-ribeiro-tom-bergeron-erin-andrews/ | false | 1 |

3 funeral attendees shot outside of Chicago church
CHICAGO (AP) — Authorities say a drive-by shooter wounded three men who were taking a picture outside of a Chicago church as they gathered for a funeral service. Chicago police say all three victims were hospitalized in good condition. Police say someone from inside a gray sedan on Saturday afternoon had opened fire on a group of funeral attendees who were taking a picture outside of Universal Community Missionary Baptist Church in the Roseland neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side. No arrests were immediately made. A witness told The Sun-Times that he was attending a funeral service for his cousin, Mike Nash. House says Nash was an anti-violence activist who died of a heart attack. | https://ktvz.com/news/2022/07/23/3-funeral-attendees-shot-outside-of-chicago-church/ | 2022-07-24T00:28:25Z | https://ktvz.com/news/2022/07/23/3-funeral-attendees-shot-outside-of-chicago-church/ | false | null |
Santa Bárbara D’Oeste, SP, 23 (AFI) – Too much news sad for those who follow Brazilian football. Died on Friday night, in Santa Bárbara D’Oeste, the former defender Ademir Gonçalves, champion of São Paulo for Corinthians in 1977 and idol of several clubs. He was 75 years old and died of cardiac arrest.
This Saturday morning, while the body of Ademir Gonçalves was laid to rest at Velório Berto Lira, Elisabete Aparecida Bagnoli Gonçalves, the former player’s widow, began to feel sick and died on the spot, causing greater commotion, as there were many friends and former companions.
Born in Santa Bárbara D’Oeste on November 19, 1946, Ademir José Gonçalves began to stand out in União Barbarense and soon reached the XV de Piracicaba.
HIGHLIGHT IN XV DE PIRACICABA AND IMPORTANT IN CORINTHIANS
The success in the XV drew the attention of Corinthians, which hired Ademir Gonçalves in 1973. In 1974, he teamed up with the three-time world champion Brito, in the final of the Paulista Championship, won by Palmeiras. Before, in the Brazilian Championship, Ademir Gonçalves was loaned to Guarani, forming a partnership in the defense with Amaral.
But it was in 1977 that Ademir Gonçalves entered Corinthians history by winning the legendary title of Champion Paulista, in the final against Ponte Preta on October 13.
IDOL IN SÃO JOSÉ AND LEADER IN THE ACCESS CAMPAIGN
He stayed at Corinthians until mid-1978 and, after a brief spell at Pinheiros (now Paraná Clube), he arrived at São José, where he also marked an era and was the great leader of the Vale do Paraíba team in accessing the São Paulo first division in 1980. At the end of his career, Ademir Gonçalves still played a few games for União Barbarense until he ended his career and continued to reside in Santa Bárbara D’Oeste, where he had numerous roles, whether as a trader, in the public sector and in the press, acting as a sports commentator.

Live Updates
Neeraj Chopra’s Javelin Throw Final World Athletics Championships LIVE Updates: India’s golden boy Neeraj Chopra is fighting for a gold medal in the final of the men’s javelin throw competition at the ongoing World Athletics Championships 2022 in Eugene, Oregon. If he manages to win a medal, it will be his first and India’s second medal in the World Athletics Championships. Anju Bobby George is the only Indian athlete to win a medal in the competition which also puts a lot of pressure on India’s golden boy. If Neeraj Chopra wins a gold medal in the tournament, he will become the third male javelin thrower to follow Olympic gold medal with a top place finish in the World Athletics Championships.
The ace Indian javelin thrower feels the pressure of being the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games gold medallist is unlikely to affect his performance at the World Championships in Oregon, USA from July 15. Continuing his superb form, Chopra broke the national record again with a throw of 89.94m to finish second in the Stockholm Diamond League 2022 in Sweden on Thursday. The Indian javelin ace fell just six centimetres short of the elusive 90m mark but he bettered his personal best of 89.30m, set earlier this month at the Paavo Nurmi Games in Finland.
World champion Anderson Peters of Grenada broke the 16-year-old meet record with a huge 90.31m throw in his third attempt, which was enough to get him the top spot.
Chopra said he will play with a “free mind” and “perform to potential” in Oregon, where he could bring India only its second medal ever from the World Championships. Only former India long jumper Anju Bobby George has won a medal at the Worlds, clinching bronze in Paris 2003. | https://www.cricketcountry.com/news/live-neeraj-chopra-world-athletics-championships-2022-neeraj-chopra-aims-for-gold-in-mens-javelin-throw-final-live-streaming-sonyliv-updates-24-july-sunday-oregan-usa-1032784 | 2022-07-24T00:51:28Z | https://www.cricketcountry.com/news/live-neeraj-chopra-world-athletics-championships-2022-neeraj-chopra-aims-for-gold-in-mens-javelin-throw-final-live-streaming-sonyliv-updates-24-july-sunday-oregan-usa-1032784 | true | 1 |
Local 7-year-old opens lemonade stand to fund dad’s cancer treatment
Published: Jul. 23, 2022 at 7:23 PM CDT|Updated: 29 minutes ago
ROCKFORD, Ill. (WIFR) - Charleigh Southerland is a 7-year-old on a mission. She’s raising money for her dad’s chemotherapy treatments after he was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer earlier this month.
Charleigh got creative on Saturday, and held a lemonade stand on Mayfair Place near Guilford Road. To help get the word out, Charleigh used the NextDoor app, which connects people to sales and services in their area. Rockford firefighters stopped by to show their support and let Charleigh take a ride on their firetruck.
The lemonade stand closed at 6 p.m., but even if you didn’t get the chance to partake, she’s still accepting donations via Cash App at the handle @SCHlemonade or on GoFundMe.

Former MSNBC analyst Malcolm Nance gave a grim warning about the possible future of the United States, predicting the nation is “four months from the end of American democracy” if the GOP takes control of Congress come the November midterm elections.
“And we said that in 2020. And that was true then, too, right? But now, now you’re talking about putting a party in power in which there will never be another election,” Nance said during an appearance on SiriusXM’s “The Dean Obeidallah Show” Friday, referring to the Republican party. “They will vote through every piece of legislation, and defund every component of the United States government.”
He added that the GOP party leaders are “not joking” when they discuss impeaching President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris or attempting to “criminally prosecute” the Jan 6. committee. A recent poll found that over two-thirds of Republicans would like to see Biden impeached if the party takes control of the House of Representatives again.
“This will be the end of Congress. We’ve already seen the end of the Supreme Court,” he said. “We’ve seen the Supreme Court is no longer an instrument of justice. It is a political body that is looking out for its own personal political interests. Well, Congress could end this November.”
With the midterm elections fast approaching, Nance said he believes the Democratic party needs to “fight” to mobilize new voters and reinvigorate past voters.
In April, Nance quit his role as an MSNBC commentator and took up a fight overseas to help put a halt to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as a part of the country’s international legion.
“This is an existential war, and Russia has brought it to these people and they are mass-murdering civilians,” he told MSNBC host Joy Reid at the time. “And there are people here like me who are here to do something about it.” | https://www.thewrap.com/gop-will-defund-us-government-malcolm-nance/ | 2022-07-24T00:56:14Z | https://www.thewrap.com/gop-will-defund-us-government-malcolm-nance/ | true | 2 |
Lakers News: Austin Reaves Wants to Drop His Two Nicknames; Asks Fans for Ideas
Last season, the Lakers showcased rookie Austin Reaves and fans loved it. Reaves was helping out LA in ways fans did not expect, which eventually landed him some interesting nicknames, to say the least.
The rookie was named “AR-15" and "Hillbilly Kobe." However, in an article by Dave McMenamin from ESPN, Reaves talked about how he does not want to be associated with those names if he can, especially the nickname "AR-15" after the mass shooting that occurred in Uvalde, Texas.
"I don't condone any gun violence that happens around our country,"
"But you can't really control what [nickname] people give you. I mean, I didn't come out and say my name was that. There's been others, like the 'Hillbilly Kobe,' that probably aren't the best thing in the situation that's going on, with Kobe's passing."

Reaves also continued and told ESPN that he would appreciate fans thinking of some new nicknames.
"I'm always open to new ideas,"
"Because there is always another one that might stick and could be better than another one that was previous. So I'm always open to new things and for people to really open up their brains and kind of think of new things for me. That stuff helps us out too in branding situations and stuff like that."
Overall, Reaves will continue his second season in the league with the Lakers and fans will need to get creative on what they should call the rookie.
A fan favorite like Reaves shouldn't have any problem garnering fan submissions for a new nickname. | https://www.si.com/nba/lakers/news/lakers-news-austin-reaves-wants-to-drop-his-two-nicknames-asks-fans-for-ideas-bw2021 | 2022-07-24T01:16:18Z | https://www.si.com/nba/lakers/news/lakers-news-austin-reaves-wants-to-drop-his-two-nicknames-asks-fans-for-ideas-bw2021 | false | 1 |

Life has not been the same for a 70-year-old lady, Mrs Tari Bannerman, who has been battling severe knee joint osteoarthritis for over 15 years.
She said the pain around her knees started about 20 years ago, but she discarded it as regular knee pain, taking some pain killers to calm it.
She told our correspondent, “The painkillers worked for a while. I kept changing from one brand of medication to another until none of the brands worked again. At a point, it became unbearable for me to bear.’’
Bannerman said she cried herself to sleep at night and woke up still crying because of the excruciating pain which defied medication.
She said she visited many hospitals where she was told that the only solution was for a knee cap surgery on the two knees which would cost between N2.7m to N2.8m.
“I am now in a wheelchair. I have been wheelchair-bound for over six months now because my legs could no longer carry me. When one is not mobile, you can imagine how bad the situation can be. The more I stay at home, the more it gets worse. I cannot move out to search for jobs. The legs have got even weaker and I am in a wheelchair right now,” she added.
Recounting what life was like before the condition, Bannerman said, “I had a restaurant after my work failed but I couldn’t continue because I could no longer fund it. The salespersons I employed to help me manage it put the proceeds in their pockets. Before this time, I worked as a journalist between 1978 to 1979 before I moved to Bonny Island, Rivers State to work as a sub-contractor under the Nigerian Liquefied Natural Gas; a position I left over 10 years ago.
“One or two of my family people support me charitably and that is all I am managing. It has not been easy for me at all.
“When I visited the April Specialist Hospital, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, where an x-ray was done on me, they told me that the only solution was a knee cap surgery, not painkillers or massage. That was where I had one of the X-rays. I also went to BMH, Port Harcourt, where they prescribed some medicine for me to take when I do the surgery.
“I live in a one-room apartment alone. My daughter is married and in Port Harcourt. She employed a maid for me but the maid left because of her act.’’
Bannerman said she had also sought religious interventions with various churches, stating that she was hoping on God for a miracle.
A report made available to Sunday Punch, signed by the April Hospital, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, showed that she had severe narrowing of both compartments of the tibiofemoral and needs urgent knee surgery.
The medical report titled, “Bannerman: Both Knee Joints”, stated that, “There is mal-alignment of the knee joints.

The most glamorous rivalry in soccer has gone Stateside for the second time ever, and Las Vegas is as a fitting location for the clash as any. Barcelona have embarked on yet another summer of lavish spending despite being hundreds of millions of Euros in the red, adding Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha to a squad that was already fit to bursting with attacking talent. Anything but victory would be a bad look for Xavi. Read on as we explain how to watch a Barcelona vs Real Madrid live stream from anywhere in the world - including FREE coverage in some places.

Whereas Barcelona have had two games to prepare for this, Carlo Ancelotti and his men were granted an extended summer break as a reward for Real Madrid's La Liga and Champions League triumphs.
Raphinha scored and laid on two assists on his debut in midweek, a 6-0 thrashing of Inter Miami in which Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Memphis Depay, Ousmane Dembélé, Ansu Fati and Gavi also found the back of the net.
Madrid have strengthened with the signings of top-class center-back Antonio Rüdiger and midfield lynchpin Aurélien Tchouaméni, and they've also recalled playmaker Reinier from a loan spell at Dortmund. Their failure to land Kylian Mbappe from PSG, doubtless, still smarts but will Karim Benzema be looking to prove a point?

Survey: More young adults living with parents, in multigenerational households
(Gray News) - As prices on seemingly everything over the last few years have increased, more and more families are teaming up to help one another.
A Pew Research Center survey found that young adults in the U.S. are much more likely to live in a multigenerational household these days than they were 50 years ago.
The survey defined multigenerational living as a household with two or more adult generations, typically 25 and older, and a living situation that has increased among all age groups over the past five decades.
Young adults in the U.S. have been coping with rising student debt and housing costs. According to the numbers, multigenerational living has provided young adults a little break from higher costs of living and debt.
According to the Pew Research Center, a nonpartisan American think tank based in Washington, D.C., a quarter of U.S. adults ages 25 to 34 resided in a multigenerational family household in 2021, up from 9% in 1971.
The survey showed growth in multigenerational living among 25- to 34-year-olds has been especially pronounced among those without a college degree. Multigenerational living has tripled among these young adults, compared with a doubling among young adults with at least a bachelor’s degree.
According to the survey’s findings, in 1971, the prevalence of multigenerational living among young adults was similar regardless of educational attainment. However, by 2021, 31% of young adults who had not finished college were in a multigenerational arrangement, almost double the share of their peers who had completed at least a bachelor’s degree (16%).
Survey participants in October 2021 also shared that financial issues were a primary reason adults lived in multigenerational households. The most common living arrangement was young adults living in a home with one or both of their parents.
Researchers said that when it comes to financial contributions, the typical 25- to 34-year-old in a multigenerational household contributed 22% of the household’s total income in 2021.

A janitor cried and begged her forgiveness as she was remanded to prison for the weekend for stealing EC$7,805 worth of jewellery from her former employer’s home.
Sherma Adams, 47, of Fair Hall/Georgetown pleaded guilty, on Friday, at the Kingstown Magistrate’s Court, to a charge that between March 25 and July 16, 2022, at Lodge Village, she stole four gold rings, valued at EC$4,600; one gold anklet, valued at EC$275; two gold wrist bangles, valued at EC$380; one gold chain with gold pendant, valued at EC$1,800; and one Michael Kors watch, valued at EC$759, total value EC$7,805, the property of Joanne Richards-James of Lodge Village.
The facts of the case, as presented by prosecutor Sergeant Cornelius Tittle, are that Adams was employed as a cleaner at Richards-James’ house from March 2022.
Richards-James is known to be a lover of jewellery and stores her most valuable jewellery in a jewellery box in the bathroom of her master bedroom.
The only other person with access to this bedroom was the defendant.
One day in March, Richards-James placed one of her gold bangles in the jewellery box, which also contained the items mentioned in the charge.
Richards-James subsequently checked and the bangle was missing. However, she assumed that she had misplaced it and took it for granted.
Sometime later, Richards-James checked the entire house and still could not find the bangle.
As a result, she became suspicious, informed the police and Adams became a person of interest in the matter.
Police took Adams into custody and she gave a caution statement admitting to the offence, which led the police to Cashwiz, a consignment and thrift store in Kingstown.
Cashwiz indicated to the investigator, detective Constable Darell Sam that they bought a number of items from the defendant and paid her EC$2,855 in instalments.
Only a gold chain and a gold ring, valued at EC$2,700, were recovered, Cashwiz having subsequently sold the other items that they purchased from the defendant.
In mitigation, Adams told the court she has children aged 31 and 28 and worked with her uncle before working with Richards-James.
She began to cry and Senior Magistrate Rickie Burnett, who presided, stood the matter down so that Adams could compose herself.
When the matter was recalled, he told Adams that as a 47-year-old woman with two adult children, she ought to have known that she would be a suspect.
«It is not rocket science. … So what went into your head? Let me understand.»
«I don’t know,» Adams said.
The magistrate said that Adams knew exactly how to dispose of the jewellery.
«Because I been have gold already,» the defendant said.
«You still have gold. I am seeing gold on you,» Burnett responded.
Adams said she had more gold than she was wearing in court, but got rid of them because thieves used to snatch chains from people’s necks.
«You got rid of them and thief those for Mrs Richards-James and you went Cashwiz and disposed of them.»
Adams told the court that she had no money saved.
«So what must the complainant do now that you have disposed of $5,000 of her valuables?» Burnett asked.
Adams asked Richards-James to forgive her.
«Forgiveness is between you, herself, and the Lord,» the magistrate said and invited Richards-James to take the stand.
Sherma Adams lon her way to Her Majesty’s Prisons on Friday, July 22, 2022 to await her sentencing on July 25, 2022. ‘I felt really violated and hurt’
Richards-James told the court that Adams was recommended by one of her (Richards-James’) co-workers and close friends who is also Adams’ cousin.
«So I didn’t do any background check because I took her word for it,» Richards-James said, adding that Adams did «a good job» as a cleaner.
She said that she first missed an anklet and then her graduation ring, but hadn’t worn the ring for a while.
Richards-James said she told Adams that if she came upon the anklet while cleaning to put it on the dresser.
Then, on Carnival Saturday, July 2, Adams did not come to work and did not answer repeated calls from Richards-James, who proceeded to do the cleaning herself.
The complainant said that while cleaning, she checked her jewellery box and found it «practically empty.
«I felt really violated and hurt,» Richards-James told the court, adding that the items complained of are what she knows are missing and it might be some time before she knows what else might be missing.
«I have had cleaners before; nobody has ever done this to me… I think she should be made an example. You can’t just walk in and move people’s things. These are things I gathered over time. I graduated since 1980-something.»
The complainant said that the money will not bring back the items but she will not just sit by, as actions have consequences.
She said that while Adams had not been working with her for a long time, she bought Adams a birthday gift.
«She lied and said the box fell over,» the complainant said, adding that the jewellery box is designed in such a way that it would not open even if it falls.
«It is a violation of your privacy,» Richards-James said.
The magistrate said that when one takes someone to work in one’s home, they are taking a chance.
«And now she comes before the court now with tears in her eyes and the tears should be a language that the court must understand. I’m not sure about that one.»
Adams told the court that she was crying because she did not know what had gotten into her head.
The magistrate told Adams that a lot went into her head, including taking the items to Cashwiz and getting money for them.
Adams said that Cashwiz had sold items for her already, including her microwave.
But the magistrate advised the woman to live within her means.
Richards-James told the court that Adams stole the other items even after she was asked about the anklet.
«Big life you call that. They want to live big life that they cannot afford… You have to work for what you want,» he told Adams.
«She is working with you, and she is removing your items and you have to pay her.»
The magistrate verified when Adams was arrested and noted that she was granted station bail the same day.
He said that he would remand her until Monday and will sentence her then.
«Mr. Burnett… Mr. Burnett… Miss James…» Adams cried on hearing she would be remanded to prison.
The magistrate ordered the police to escort Adams from the dock.
Adams continued to cry after being removed from the dock and began walking to the complainant, crying loudly in the courtroom, «Miss James, please. I want you to forgive me.» «Take her outside, please,» the magistrate said.

Bills seeking to mandate the disclosure of current accusations against physicians and shake up the composition of the Guam Board of Medical Examiners received mixed testimony during their public hearings Monday afternoon.
Bill 317-36 would require the GBME to publish online, as part of a physician's profile, any current accusations filed with the board - but only if it has been pending for more than six months. This includes accusations on appeal. Under the bill, a "current accusation" would mean an accusation "that has not been dismissed, withdrawn, or settled, and has not been finally decided upon by the board."
Speaker Therese Terlaje, the bill's author, stated the legislation was intended not only to inform patients, but also to put "a little fire" under the GBME to resolve claims, since some claims have gone years without settlement.
The proposal received opposition from some in the medical community, including two major organizations.
The Guam Medical Society and Guam Medical Association, in a joint statement, called the bill "yet another step" by lawmakers to attack physicians and weaken the "already fragile healthcare system in Guam."
"Instead of strengthening the board, the Legislature seeks to malign community physicians by including in physician profiles unsubstantiated accusations and claims brought against them. ... Instead, we would like to see the legislature and the government of Guam taking steps to adequately fund the office of the Guam Board of Medical Examiners," the GMS and GMA testimony stated.
The GBME website currently lists physicians' license status, whether they have criminal convictions and other information.
Terlaje said Monday that the legislative committee on health, which she chairs, had heard from individuals who had filed complaints with the GBME against licensed doctors - some of which involved doctors with past records of misconduct, including sexual assault.
"They all expressed the sentiment that had information on the doctors' past records been available, they could have made an informed decision when choosing physician care," Terlaje said.
One of the individuals who testified Monday in support of the legislation was David Lubofsky, the father of a 5-year-old boy who died at the Guam Memorial Hospital in 2018. Lubofsky has been an advocate for regulatory changes since his son's death. He stated that Bill 317 would offer any Guam consumer an opportunity at a "much clearer look at the profiles of the medical professionals who treat them or their loved ones."
"With Bill 317, there will be less hiding of medical negligence, etc. to protect doctors and more protection afforded to the people of Guam," Lubofsky stated.
Others joined Lubofsky in supporting the bill, both in person and in written testimony. Lubofsky and others also supported Bill 318-36, another measure introduced by Terlaje, which would replace one physician member of the GBME with a member of the public at large. This would mean the board would have five physician members and two from the community. The measure would also change the consecutive term limits from three terms to two full terms.
Both bills drew concern from Dr. Annette David and Phil Flores, two members of the GBME present at Monday's hearing.
On Bill 317, David stated it was important to put out information on cases once a decision is reached, but accusations by themselves are not proof of guilt. David was also concerned with a couple of operational issues.
"It's not easy to make sure that all the information required is, No. 1 verified, because you do not want to publish anything publicly on physicians that is not verified that could be very harmful to that individual," she said.
There is also the burden of data entry David said, pointing out members of the board are all volunteers.
"We are provided administrative support by the Health Professional Licensing Office. But please keep in mind the HPLO staff ... have to provide support to the eight other boards that exist," David said, adding that faster reporting would require support for data verification and data entry."
Flores said Bill 317 would open the door for lawsuits against the board and HPLO staff by asking for accusations to be published prior to being proven.
David previously said that most of the cases she's handled since serving on the board have been about physician misconduct, sexual assault and impairment issues, rather than inappropriate medical care.
She essentially stated the same Monday but added that, when looking at cases for the entire board, they comprise 60% clinical care issues, 30% patient doctor communication issues - often arising from physician impairment - and 10% nonclinical issues, meaning physician behavior or misconduct.
On Bill 318, David said it was important not to underplay the role of medical professionals who understand guidelines and can discern when medical care is compromised, because that is the majority of cases.
"I do agree that it's important to have community representation. ... But I would strongly urge you, don't do this at the expense of the physicians ... maybe just add on," David said.
While she would welcome another community member, David said the board needs a physician member with expertise in mental health and substance abuse to address issues of physician impairment, and should consider having a member who is a doctor of osteopathy, to speed up adjudicating cases. She also maintained the importance of having dedicated full-time investigators for the GBME and to support the HPLO.
"It's difficult to continue to even question some members of the medical community," Terlaje said as comments were wrapping up on Bill 318. "I am sincerely hoping it's not all of them, that they don't all think like that, that they think independently and that they see for themselves the community's response to cases lingering."
Terlaje has also been a main sponsor of legislation intended to reform and replace Guam's Medical Malpractice Mandatory Arbitration Act, which met significant resistance from the medical community. She called back to that bill Monday, stating that she hoped some physicians would also see the community's response to being precluded from suing for medical malpractice.
"So many of these doctors told us, 'Stay out of the medical malpractice (arbitration) and get on those boards.' And now we're on those boards and I get letters from the Guam Medical Society and Guam Medical Association saying, 'This is another step by the Legislature attacking physicians in the community,'" Terlaje said, her voice beginning to tremble.
Legislators are not immune to backlash, as Terlaje disclosed what some senators have faced.
"Like I said, we also, ourselves and colleagues have been threatened with not receiving medical care. And of course my voice is changing because that is very unbelievable up to now. And painful and outright, I think, immoral," she said.
But she also recognized that she can't regulate that.
"There are certain things that the Legislature is responsible for regulating," the speaker added, stating that she hoped some initiatives can be found to be reasonable by physicians, while lawmakers attempt to find balance with their legislation. | https://www.postguam.com/news/local/medical-board-disclosure-bills-draw-mixed-testimony/article_851660a4-0679-11ed-87e6-73b314acbc99.html | 2022-07-24T02:19:34Z | https://www.postguam.com/news/local/medical-board-disclosure-bills-draw-mixed-testimony/article_851660a4-0679-11ed-87e6-73b314acbc99.html | false | 1 |

Marvel teases new Avengers movies, ‘Black Panther' sequel
Marvel Studios returned to Comic-Con's Hall H for the first time in three years with a massive presentation and new information about phases five and six of the ongoing Marvel Cinematic Universe
Marvel teases new Avengers movies, ‘Black Panther' sequel
Show all 9Marvel Studios unveiled the first trailer for “ Black Panther: Wakanda Forever ” — set to “No Woman No Cry” — to fans at Comic-Con on Saturday in San Diego.
It was just one part of the massive Hall H presentation, which also included first-looks at “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” and new information about Phase 6 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which will conclude with two Avengers movies in 2025: “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty” and “Avengers: Secret Wars.”
“ Black Panther: Wakanda Foreve r” director Ryan Coogler was on site in San Diego to preview the highly anticipated film, which is due to arrive in theaters on Nov. 11 and serve as the conclusion to Phase 4. Coogler paid tribute to Chadwick Boseman, who died in August 2020.
“The impact that he made on this industry will be felt forever,” Coogler said.
After the massive success of “Black Panther” in 2018, plans for a sequel were quickly set into motion. But those were altered after Boseman’s unexpected death from colon cancer. The studio said it would not recast Boseman’s role of T’Challa. but very little has come out about the film in the years since. Production wrapped in March after several delays, one of which was due to an injury sustained by Letitia Wright, who plays T’Challa’s brainy sister Shuri. Also returning are Lupita Nyong’o, Danai Gurira, Winston Duke and Angela Bassett, but not Daniel Kaluuya, whose “Nope” schedule conflicted.
Phase 5, Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige said, will kick off in February with “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” and conclude with “Thunderbolts” in July 2024. The new “Blade,” starring Oscar-winner Mahershala Ali, also got a release date of Nov. 3, 2023, and “Captain America and the New World Order,” featuring Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson, will hit theaters on May 3, 2024.
The “Guardians of the Galaxy” will also come to an end in the midst of Phase 5 in May. Director James Gunn showed up in San Diego to confirm that “Vol. 3” would be the last for the space rogues. Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Karen Gillian and Dave Bautista are all returning for the film. New cast members include Will Poulter, as Guardians adversary Adam Warlock, and Maria Bakalova.

Flash floods in Iran’s drought-stricken southern Fars province have killed at least 21 people, state television said Saturday.
Heavy rains swelled the Roudbal river by the city of Estahban, according to the city’s governor, Yousef Karegar.
Karegar said rescue teams had saved 55 people who were trapped by the flash flooding, but at least six people were still missing.
Flooding hit more than 10 villages in the province, he added.
Iran’s interior minister, Ahmad Vahidi, shared his condolences with the families of the flood victims, state television later reported.
Iran’s meteorology department had warned about possibly heavy seasonal rainfall across the country that is facing a decades-long drought blamed on climate change. The dangers of flash flooding have also been exacerbated by the widespread construction of buildings and roads near riverbeds.
In March 2018, a flash flood in Fars province caused the death of 44 people.

According to Quatro Rodas magazine, the dual-clutch automatic transmission will be linked to the 1.0 Turbo TCe Flex engine in Renault’s new compact SUV.
Without the glow of the past, the Renault bet on restyling to hold its sales until 2024, when the French brand will have a new batch of products and engines. To this end, the brand invested R$ 2 billion in Brazil to have the new CMF-B platform and new 1.0 Turbo TCe Flex engine.
SEE TOO:
Contrary to what was imagined, the new 1.0 engine that will debut in Renault’s compact SUV will not be linked to the CVT gearbox but to a six-speed dual-clutch automated gearbox according to our friends at Four wheels. However, the DCT gearbox will have the dry box and not the more modern ones with the clutch immersed in oil.
Dacia Steway is a mule
Called the HJF Project, Renault’s new compact SUV already has units in its definitive storage under lock and key at the factory in São José dos Pinhais (PR). On the streets, what draws attention are the two Dacia Stepway prototypes that serve as mules for engine and transmission tests. The prototypes were spotted in Santa Catarina by reader Jhony Ruseler.
Renault’s new SUV will also inherit elements of the Stepway bodywork, but with new front and rear.
The debut of the new SUV will be in 2024, when the current Logan and Sandero will say goodbye to the production lines in Brazil and putting an end to the French manufacturer’s cycle of activity in popular segments. The new Renault will operate in higher value-added cars and the new compact SUV will be the first in a series of new products to be produced using the new CMF-B platform.

WASHINGTON (AP) — To understand how Donald Trump’s desperation and lies became a potent danger to democracy, consider the ginger mints.
Mints featured in one of the absurdist but toxic episodes fleshed out in the Jan. 6 hearings, which now pause even as the Justice Department presses ahead on a parallel criminal investigation that it calls the most important in its history.
Here’s how one conspiracy theory, in a dark sea of them, was born:
A mother-daughter team at a Georgia elections center shared the treat during a long election night. Someone videotaped them and chose to believe the mint mother gave to daughter was a USB port. Trump’s lawyer spread the accusation that the video caught the women using the device to try to corrupt the election against the president.
Frantic to stay in power, grasping at anything, Trump ran with the lie. He attacked the mother by name, branded her a “professional vote scammer,” and soon vigilantes showed up at a family home intending to execute a “citizens’ arrest,” the committee was told. For the love of mints.
The episode fed into a web of fabricated stories, melting under scrutiny like snowflakes in a Georgia summer. The hearings illustrated how those stories fueled the anger of Trump’s supporters across the U.S. and especially those who stormed the Capitol, many armed and out for blood.
Long before the committee called its first witness, scenes of the rampage had been burned into the public consciousness. What new information could possibly come from it? Plenty, it turned out. And as the inquiry continues, with more hearings planned in September, still more evidence is being gathered.
With seven Democrats working with two Republicans on the outs with their party, the committee did what Trump’s two impeachment trials couldn’t — establish a coherent story out of the chaos instead of two partisan ones clawing at each other.
“American carnage,” Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland , lead manager of the second Trump impeachment and a committee member on this inquiry, said of the latter’s bottom line. “That’s Donald Trump’s true legacy.” Not the carnage Trump spoke of in his inaugural address.
In a methodical, even mannerly process rarely seen from Congress, the panel exposed behind-the-scenes machinations laying bare the lengths Trump and his enablers went to keep him in power and the extent to which his inner circle knew his case about a stolen election was bogus. Some told him that to his face; others humored him.
At every turn the hearings made clear Trump was willing to see the legislative branch of government and democratic processes in state after state consumed in the bonfire of his vanities.
He was told the rioters were out to find his vice president, Mike Pence, at the Capitol and hang him. Trump’s chief of staff related to another aide the president’s thoughts on the matter, that Pence “deserves it,” according to testimony.
Trump was told many of his supporters that day bore arms. He didn’t “effing care.”
“They’re not here to hurt ME,” he said, according to testimony. “Take the effing mags away. Let my people in, they can march to the Capitol from here. Let the people in, take the effing mags away.” It is unlikely he said “effing.”
He wanted the magnetometers, or metal detectors, removed from security lines so loyalists in town for his rally could pack the space, underscoring a Trump obsession with crowd size that was evident from the first day of his presidency.
The committee pinpointed a range of renegade if not criminal options that were floated in the White House, which taken together resembled a tin-pot coup in the country Ronald Reagan called democracy’s “shining city upon a hill.”
A city, Reagan imagined, “built on rocks stronger than oceans, windswept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace.”
That bedrock convulsed as Trump and his allies contemplated an executive order to seize voting machines and other steps that democracies don’t take.
“The idea that the federal government could come in and seize election machines, no,” Pat Cipollone, the White House counsel, said as he recounted a White House meeting that devolved into a screaming match. “That — that’s — I don’t understand why we even have to tell you why that’s a bad idea for the country.”
Trump leaned on Republican-led states to find more votes for him — 11,780 in Georgia would do it, he said. State Republicans were pressed to appoint fake electors. He hectored Pence to do what he didn’t have the power — or the will — to do, when called upon to certify the election.
When all else failed, Trump told his supporters to “fight like hell’ and encouraged them to march down to the Capitol, saying he’d be joining them.
Saying no to the boss is never easy. Saying no to the U.S. president you work for is another thing altogether.
But Trump’s plotting was foiled by Republicans in the states that mattered, conservative aides, bureaucrats and loyalists-to-a-point who ultimately said no, no, no.
When Trump demanded to be taken to the Capitol on Jan. 6, the committee was told, his Secret Service detail said no.
When Trump pressed his vice president to derail the certification of Joe Biden’s election, four years of supplication and admiring glances by Pence came to an end. He said no.
The Republican election official in Georgia said no to cooking the results to deliver Trump the state, never losing his cool on the phone with the president. The Republican House speaker in Arizona, pressed to appoint fake electors, invoked his oath and said no way.
Two Justice Department leaders in succession said no to him. When he moved to appoint a compliant third, Justice Department officials told him in the Oval Office that if he did so, they would quit en masse and the new man would be left “leading a graveyard.”
All of that left the president with an inept cadre, mostly of outsiders, to tell him what he wanted to hear. One sells pillows.
Even Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, perhaps the most loyal of loyalists and a man who voiced plenty of delusional statements on behalf of his client, acknowledged at one point that there was nothing more to Trump’s accusations of a rigged election than speculation.
“We’ve got lots of theories,” he told Rusty Bowers, Arizona House speaker. “We just don’t have the evidence.”
Yet the comment — as related to the committee by Bowers — was made in the context of pressing him to appoint fake electors anyway, which Bowers refused to do. And it was Giuliani who stoked the USB conspiracy theory that prompted the FBI to direct the mother into hiding and made her daughter fearful of being out in public.
The Constitution demands that presidents “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” Failure to do so can be a crime.
With the summer hearings over, attention now shifts to the Justice Department, where Attorney General Merrick Garland has vowed to hold wrongdoers “at any level” accountable, whether present at the Capitol or not, and said as recently as this week that “no person is above the law.”
He’s made no public statements as to whether the department might pursue a criminal case against Trump, noting that the agency does not conduct its investigations in public. Yet he said he regards this one as the “most important” and sweeping it’s ever undertaken.
Some legal experts have said the hearings identified a range of potential crimes for which the ex-president might conceivably be prosecuted. Corruptly obstructing an official proceeding. Conspiracy to defraud the U.S. Inciting a riot. Even seditious conspiracy.
But these crimes are easier to casually talk about than to prove beyond a reasonable doubt, especially against a former president and one who might run again.
As the hearings unfolded, Democrats were surprised to find themselves standing in admiration, if not awe, for the deeply conservative Rep. Liz Cheney, the poker-faced Republican on the committee who, despite her measured words, made clear her icy disdain for Trump and the many Republicans in Congress who appear to remain in thrall to him.
She did not countenance the Trump defenders who argued he was manipulated by outside “crazies.”
“President Trump is a 76-year-old man,” she said. “He is not an impressionable child. Just like everyone else in our country, he is responsible for his own actions and his own choices.”
Facing a Trump-backed primary opponent in August, her congressional seat in deep-red Wyoming in danger, she framed the stakes for fellow Republican lawmakers at the first hearing: “I say this to my Republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible: There will come a day when Donald Trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain.”
Democrats and liberals nationwide as well as many Republicans are pouring money into her race, which she well could lose.
From the first hearing, June 9, watched by an estimated 20 million people, to the eighth on Thursday night, the committee told a seamless story stitched from the testimony of sober and evocative witnesses.
The panel introduced to the nation the harassed and haunted election workers from Georgia, a young White House aide who saw and knew a lot, little-known Justice officials who proved to be a bulwark against Trump’s scheming, and more.
___
LADY RUBY
Her name is Ruby Freeman, but everyone in the Georgia community where she’s spent her whole life knows her as Lady Ruby, the words on the T-shirt she wore on Election Day.
She hasn’t worn that shirt since, says she never will. Her explanation for why not, broadcast to America, did more than make for captivating television. It put a human face on the impact of the pressure-and-smear campaigns wielded by the president and his allies.
For weeks, the country heard from lawyers at the highest echelons of government and campaign aides and White House workers present in the room with Trump for some of his more untethered moments.
Lady Ruby, and her daughter, Wandrea “Shaye” Moss, were none of those.
They were election workers in Fulton County, Georgia’s most populated, where Shaye Moss said she took particular pleasure in distributing absentee ballots to the elderly and disabled and helping residents navigate the voter registration page.
When Giuliani publicized the sham video about a USB handover and Trump jumped on it, the women’s lives took a sharp turn.
One day, Shaye Moss told the committee she got a call from her grandmother. She was “screaming at the top of her lungs” that strangers had shown at her door trying to force their way in to find her mother and her.
Since then, she said: “I don’t want anyone knowing my name. I don’t want to go anywhere with my mom because she might yell my name out over the grocery aisle or something. I don’t go to the grocery store at all. I haven’t been anywhere at all.
“I’ve gained about 60 pounds,” she said. “I second guess everything that I do. It’s affected my life in a — in a major way. In every way. All because of lies.” She spit out that last word.
Lady Ruby was in the committee room as her daughter spoke and at one point gently held her hand.
“Now I won’t even introduce myself by my name anymore,” Lady Ruby said in her earlier videotaped testimony. “I’m worried about who’s listening. I get nervous when I have to give my name for food orders. … I’ve lost my name, and I’ve lost my reputation.”

CASSIDY HUTCHINSON
In 1973, the nation was riveted by a young White House lawyer, John Dean , a participant in the Watergate scandal who delivered hours of harmful testimony about the Nixon White House during congressional hearings while fielding the most memorable question of all: “What did the president know and when did he know it?”
The Jan. 6 hearings delivered another witness whose words will be long remembered even if they may not be as impactful as Dean’s were in the proceedings that helped force a sitting president out of office.
She was Cassidy Hutchinson, the mid-20s White House staffer and aide to chief of staff Mark Meadows whose age and anonymity were belied by the lasting damage of her fly-on-the-wall testimony June 28. She described witnessing a president unbound.
In her composed account, the president was prone to fits of rage, heaving a porcelain plate of food against a White House wall when he learned his attorney general had publicly contradicted his claims of vast voter fraud. (She grabbed a towel to help the valet clean up dripping ketchup.)
In her telling, the president was aware on the morning of Jan. 6 that loyalists in Washington were armed but was so determined to have their support at a rally that he demanded security be eased.
It was she who heard from her boss, Meadows, that Trump had brushed off the mob’s threat to hang Pence from the makeshift gallows the insurrectionists had erected outside the Capitol — that Trump thought the vice president deserved that fate.
It was she who was told by the White House counsel, Cipollone, that it was imperative to stay away from the Capitol despite Trump’s desire to go.
“Keep in touch with me,” Hutchinson quoted Cipollone as telling her. “We’re going to get charged with every crime imaginable if we make that movement happen.”
She had once recalled in an interview published on her college website being “brought to tears” when she learned she’d been selected for a White House internship.
Years later, though, she’d recall her disgust on Jan. 6 upon seeing a tweet from Trump saying Pence didn’t have the courage to do what needed to be done — reject electors from the battleground states and help overturn the results.
“As an American, I was disgusted,” she testified. “It was unpatriotic. It was un-American. We were watching the Capitol building get defaced over a lie.”
Fiona Hill, a leading witness in Trump’s first impeachment because of her insights as the president’s Russia adviser, said Hutchinson took all sorts of risks to step up and tell what she knew, so early in her career. Despite her junior position in the White House, she exercised the power of listening to the senior people around her, and so will shape history.
She understood, Hill told The Associated Press, that “the most powerful thing you can do is tell the truth. She will certainly be defined by that. It’s an extraordinarily brave act for her.”
___
SUNDAY NIGHT MASSACRE?
The hearings laid bare how the Justice Department — if not democracy itself — was brought to the brink not only by Trump’s outside pressure but also by an accomplice from within.
Jeffrey Clark was a little-known lawyer who joined the department only in 2018, as its chief environmental enforcement official, and by 2020 was leading its civil division.
He was a prime cheerleader for Trump’s voter fraud claims and the president weighed making him acting attorney general, a position where he could have done real damage. Clark had been stealthily advancing plans to challenge the election results without telling his higher-ups.
Three senior Justice officials testified to the committee, among them the acting attorney general at the time, Jeffrey Rosen. The men described in granular detail how they presented a united front against Trump’s badgering.
“Just say that the election was corrupt + leave the rest to me and the R. Congressmen,” according to handwritten notes from Rosen’s deputy, Richard Donoghue, that conveyed what the president told the two men and that were shown at the hearing. “R.” was short for Republican.
It all culminated in an Oval Office meeting on the Sunday evening three days before the Capitol attack, when the question hanging over the session was whether Trump would fire Rosen and elevate Clark. The plan had already progressed to a point that White House call logs cited by the committee were, by that afternoon, referring to Clark as the acting attorney general.
The meeting opened, Rosen testified, with Trump telling the group, “One thing we know is you, Rosen, you aren’t going to do anything” to overturn the election.
You’re right, Mr. President, Rosen said he replied.
As the meeting continued, Trump was told the Justice officials in the room — except Clark — would resign if Rosen were fired. Potentially hundreds of federal prosecutors would walk out the door, too.
Such a crisis would eclipse the Saturday Night Massacre of 1973, when the attorney general and his deputy both resigned rather than execute Richard Nixon’s order to fire the Watergate prosecutor.
Trump backed down. Rosen would keep his job. But Trump had one last question for him: What happens to Clark now? Are you going to fire him?
No, Rosen said, he didn’t have the authority to — only Trump did. And that wasn’t going to happen.
“All right,” Rosen said. “Well, then we should all go back to work.”
___
187 MINUTES
The last scheduled hearing, in prime time like the first, examined 187 minutes from the time Trump left a rally stage sending his supporters to the Capitol to the time he ultimately appeared in a Rose Garden video to tell the insurrectionists “go home, we love you, you’re very special.”
Until then he had watched the melee on Fox News, tweeted his displeasure with Pence and resisted the entreaties of his horrified aides and even family members to say something to tamp down the violence. He even spent time calling senators asking them to block the certification of Biden’s election, the committee said.
The hearing crystallized the degree to which the insurrectionists on their smartphones were tuned into any words from Trump as they assaulted the complex.
Secret Service radio transmissions described to the committee revealed agents at the Capitol trying to get Pence to safety and passing goodbye messages to their own families. The mob came within 40 feet or 12 meters of Pence.
The panel made a detailed case that Trump had been derelict in his duties. He did not summon the military or Homeland Security or the FBI. Outtakes from a video Trump recorded Jan. 7 showed him resisting parts of the script prepared for him.
“I don’t want to say the election is over,” he said. He still doesn’t.
___
The hearings produced enough words for a classic novel of scheming and corruption, longer than George Orwell’s dystopian “1984,” far longer than Niccolò Machiavelli’s 16th century power study, “The Prince,” and in the ballpark of “The Bonfire of the Vanities,” Tom Wolfe’s take on greed and deception from the 1980s era of Trump the New York developer and man about town.
In that period, Reagan spoke often of America the shining city, a notion handed down from the Puritans, but perhaps most poignantly in his farewell address in 1989. “How stands the city?” he asked rhetorically.
These days, intact but endangered, the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol found. Intact because enough of the president’s men and women, public servants and state officials said an emphatic, effing, no.

Red Sox starting pitcher Kutter Crawford didn’t let things unravel Saturday against the Toronto Blue Jays like they did the previous day at Fenway Park for Boston when it allowed 28 runs.
After the Blue Jays revved up their offense to tag Crawford for three runs in the third inning, the 26-year-old put the brakes on Toronto to turn in another solid outing in his sixth career start in the big leagues.
Crawford allowed just those three runs in six innings while also giving up five hits and one walk to go along with four strikeouts. He certainly did his job but the Red Sox’s sluggish offense couldn’t back up Crawford’s quality start in a 4-1 loss.
“Overall, I thought it was pretty good, just that one inning,” Crawford said as seen on NESN postgame coverage. “The third inning where I gave up the three runs, they just started jumping me pretty early. Once I got started mixing in my curveball and slowing them down, things started working out.”
The right-hander yielded four straight hits to begin the third inning, but he didn’t lose his composure due to the brief hit parade. He fought back to retire 11 of the next 12 batters he faced to quiet down Toronto’s vaunted lineup.
“You just move forward,” Crawford said. “You just try leave it right there. You’re trying not to dwell on it too much. You still got pitches to make. You still got a whole game to pitch.”
Crawford matched the longest appearance of his career as he tossed six innings for the second consecutive outing. He put on the finishing touches to his performance in the sixth when after allowing a leadoff single to Vladimir Guerrero Jr., he got Alejandro Kirk to ground into a double play before striking out Bo Bichette looking.
Crawford’s emergence has been a highlight for a Red Sox club that has lost 12 out of their last 15 games, as Crawford continues to hold up his end of the bargain.
“That’s always my goal when I take the ball as a starter is to go at least six innings,” Crawford said. “That’s just the main focus and just trying to pitch to contact when I can. If I get early outs, I get early outs.” | https://nesn.com/2022/07/red-soxs-kutter-crawford-turns-in-another-strong-showing-vs-blue-jays/ | 2022-07-24T02:44:36Z | https://nesn.com/2022/07/red-soxs-kutter-crawford-turns-in-another-strong-showing-vs-blue-jays/ | false | 1 |

CINCINNATI (AP) — Paul Goldschmidt drove in three runs to reach 1,002 RBIs, combining with Tyler O'Neill to hit consecutive fourth-inning home runs and lead the St. Louis Cardinals over the Cincinnati Reds 6-3 on Saturday night.
Nolan Arenado had three hits, including two of the Cardinals’ six doubles. St. Louis tied its season high with eight extra-base hits and won for the sixth time in nine games.
Albert Pujols got two hits,, increasing his total to 3,335. He twice narrowly missed homering, flying out to Tommy Pham a step short of the left-field wall and hitting a drive that curved just foul.
O’Neill broke a 2-2 tie with a two-run shot to straightaway center field in the fourth off Mike Minor (1-7), who lost his fifth straight decision. Goldschmidt followed with his team-high 22nd homer.
Goldschmidt reached 1,000 RBIs in the third, when he and O'Neill hit RBI singles for a 2-0 lead.
Steve Matz (4-3) won for the first time since May 2, returning from a left shoulder impingement that had sidelined him since May 22. But the left-hander left after straining his left knee in the sixth while trying to field Joey Votto’s dribbler up the first-base line. Matz allowed two runs and three hits in 5 1/3 innings.
Ryan Helsley got four outs, striking out the side in the ninth for his ninth save in 12 chance.
Cincinnati has lost four of six following a season-best five-game winning streak.
Brandon Drury hit a two-run double off the left-center field wall in the third. Jonathan India ran through a stop sign to score from first with a head-irst slide.
Mike Minor (1-7) gave up five runs, eight hits and four walks. He is 0-5 in his last six starts, and his ERA rose to 6.65
TRAINER’S ROOM
Cardinals: OF Harrison Bader (planter fasciitis, right heel) went 1 for 3 as Triple-A Memphis’s designated hitter in the first game of his rehab assignment. He was not in the Chicks’ lineup on Saturday. The 2021 Gold Glove center fielder has been sidelined since June 27.
Reds: There remains no timetable on the return of C Aramis Garcia (left middle finger soreness), according to manager David Bell. Garcia has been out since July 7, and the loss on Friday of catcher Tyler Stephenson with a fractured right clavicle further hampers Cincinnati’s depth.
UP NEXT
Cardinals RHP Miles Mikolas (7-7, 2.54) allowed one run and three hits over seven innings of an 11-3 win over Cincinnati on July 16. Reds RHP Tyler Mahle (6-11, 4.48) is expected to make his first start since July 2. He has been out with a right shoulder strain.

EUGENE, Ore. – Enjoying retired life, Allyson Felix was eating hot wings and sipping on a root beer float in Los Angeles when the phone rang.
She was needed back in Oregon for the prelims of the 4x400 women's relay. Could she return to world championships? She was on her way.
The most decorated sprinter in U.S. history jumped on a plane and was on the track Saturday night for the “last” time to help the Americans advance to the final.
Back into retirement she goes. She said she will watch the final of the women's 4x400 on Sunday from the seats.
That's the plan — for now. She did have the fastest one-lap split of her teammates as the U.S. posted the fastest qualifying time of 3 minutes, 23.38 seconds.
“From what I know,” the 36-year-old Felix said of whether this is really the end. “But you know, what do I know?”
Last Friday, she went through an emotional send-off after helping the 4x400 mixed relay team to a bronze medal. That was supposed to be it.
She went back to Los Angeles for the ESPY Awards and was a few hot wings in when she was summoned to the track for an encore performance.
Talitha Diggs ran the opening leg for the U.S. before handing off to Felix. She powered around the track and gave the baton to Kaylin Whitney, the sprinter who grew up idolizing Felix. Jaide Stepter Baynes brought it home.
“It’s kind of coming full circle, literally,” Whitney said of passing the baton to Felix. “To be able to run alongside her, as well as these other great ladies, is always a privilege. I can’t be happier.”
Soon after her run, Felix crouched down by the scoreboard and then sat on the grass to watch. When it was over, she hugged her teammates.
“I was well on my way (to retirement)," said Felix, who had her Saysh spikes — a footwear company she launched — dangling from her shoulder. “I had no plans to be back here for the rest of the meet. But things happen. I felt good. It was really cool to run when the stadium was full and just get all the love, and run with this amazing group of women. It's really set the team up to go after the title.”
The American contingent in the final figures to be 400-meter hurdle world champion Sydney McLaughlin, fresh off her world-record performance Friday, and Dalilah Muhammad, who won bronze in the race. They were on the winning 4x400 team at the Tokyo Games. So were Felix and Athing Mu. But Mu has the final of the 800 on the same day.
Any chance Felix may leave the seats to run again?
“I was asked to run in the prelim,” Felix said.
Should the group bring home a medal — the team is a big favorite — it would be Felix's 20th medal at world championships, extending a record she already held. She also has 11 Olympic medals.
“It was just about being a team player and putting them in position to run their best (Sunday),” Felix said.
Her immediate plans revolve around one thing — more hot wings.
“I only got a few of them,” Felix said. “I’ll finish them now.”
A LANE BY HERSELF
Belgian hurdler Anne Zagre will always have a cool story of how she ran all by herself in a heat at worlds. She will probably have the scars to prove it, too.
Zagre ran all alone in lane six because in a round one heat during the morning session, defending champion Nia Ali crashed into the 10th hurdle and impeded Zagre’s lane. The jury of appeal made the decision to have Zagre run in a substitute heat for a chance to advance. She hit the last hurdle and fell across the finish line. She had bandages on her left shoulder and hand, along with both knees.
“Such a pity that I touched the last hurdle and fell down,” Zagre said. “I have no words. I actually have mixed feelings. Just crazy.”
END OF REIGN
For Ali, her reign as world champion comes to an end. The 33-year-old mother of three hit the ninth hurdle while in the lead and fell into the 10th. She took the setback in stride.
“It’s part of my journey. I have to embrace every part of it,” Ali said. "I am not incredibly happy about it but I have to overcome it. I wanted to do my very best in front of the home crowd. I was prepared to show a fast time.”
Those who made it through round one of the hurdles included Olympic champion Jasmine Camacho-Quinn of Puerto Rico and world-record holder Keni Harrison of the U.S.
“This is a pretty special moment," Harrison said. "To hear the crowd cheer for me brings a smile to my face.”
The semifinal and final will be Sunday.

‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’ star shows up to Comic-Con as the High Evolutionary
Marvel’s master of genetic acceleration, The High Evolutionary, has arrived in Hall H. Nigerian-British actor Chukwudi Iwuji whose role in the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3 has, up until now, remained undisclosed, went completely method today, showing up for Marvel’s San Diego Comic Con panel dressed head to toe in costume as his character.
Iwuji strode into the hall with an almost villainous swagger, only to turn around and flash a winning smile at the crowd. The Evolutionary aka Herbert Edgar Wyndham is one of Marvel Comics’ strangest entities, a man who sought to explore the mysteries of DNA and ended up creating his very own planet called Counter-Earth. The character has ties to many different aspects that already exist in the MCU proper such as The Avengers, Ego (aka Star-Lord’s dad), and even Chthon, the demon who wrote the Darkhold.
Iwuji comes from a distinguished theatre background, having acted with the Royal Shakespeare Company in Julius Caesar and as Hamlet in the RSC’s 2016 production. He has also acted in productions of the UK’s Royal National Theatre and New York City’s Shakespeare in the Park. He is also known to Netflix subscribers for his regular roles in When They See Us and Designated Survivor but he will undoubtedly be recognized by Hall H attendees for his role as Clemson Murn, the leader of The Butterfly Project in Peacemaker.
His casting was announced earlier this year but his role remained undisclosed until his Hall H entrance today. Iwuji took a moment to address the crowd, saying, in character, “I can’t wait to dissect all of you and see what I learn!”
Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3 will be released theatrically on May 5, 2003. | https://wegotthiscovered.com/news/guardians-of-the-galaxy-vol-3-star-shows-up-to-comic-con-as-the-high-evolutionary/ | 2022-07-24T03:23:38Z | https://wegotthiscovered.com/news/guardians-of-the-galaxy-vol-3-star-shows-up-to-comic-con-as-the-high-evolutionary/ | false | 1 |

Yeah, Black adam. What have your powers ever given to you? Nothing but heartache? I was *** slave until I died then I was reborn of God. My son sacrificed his life to save me over fire, going, going, going now. I kneel before no one in this world. Heroes. I could have pain in my city wherever I go there, villains. Heroes don't kill people. Well I do. My vision has shown me the future. You have two choices. You can be the destroyer of this world, or you can be its savior. That's up to you behind you. Did you just catch *** rocket? Yeah. Mhm. I think you know my fresh coat?
