Ukrainian military officials have claimed a “turning point” in the battle to retake the southern region of Kherson, saying they will use western weapons to liberate by September the first major city captured by Russian forces.
Sergiy Khlan, an aide to the administrative head of the Kherson region, said in an interview with Ukrainian television on Sunday: “We can say that a turning point has occurred on the battlefield. We are switching from defensive to counteroffensive actions.”
“We can say that the Kherson region will definitely be liberated by September, and all the occupiers’ plans will fail,” he added.
Helped by deliveries of western-supplied long-range artillery, Ukrainian forces have been clawing back territory in the southern Kherson region in recent weeks, adding to suggestions that its troops are edging closer to a long-promised counteroffensive.
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy endorsed claims of a successful counteroffensive during his national address on Saturday, saying Ukrainian forces were moving “step by step” into the city.
Kherson was occupied by the Russian army on 3 March, the first major Ukrainian city captured by Russian forces since 24 February.
Ukrainian officials believe that Russian troops were able to take the city in part because Ukrainian security service agents failed to blow up the Antonivskyi bridge that crosses the Dnipro river, allowing troops to enter the city.
However, an increase in strikes in recent days against key Russian weapons stores and logistics around the southern city has prompted Ukraine’s military to claim its forces have moved within range of Russian targets.
Last week, Ukrainian forces targeted the Antonivskyi bridge with US-supplied artillery.
UK officials described the site as a “key vulnerability” for Russian forces and said if “crossings were denied, and Russian forces in occupied Kherson cut off, it would be a significant military and political setback for Russia”.
Aide Khlan said in a Facebook post on Saturday that Ukraine’s offensive was a “continuation of the operation to cut off the Kherson group of Russians from supply” and that “without western armament, it would not have been possible.”
According to a report released on Sunday by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), a Washington-based think tank, Ukrainian strikes “have damaged all three Russian-controlled bridges leading into Kherson City within the past week as of July 24”.
The ISW noted that open-source information on any progress by Ukrainian troops “will likely be limited and lag behind events”.
Khlan said in his latest operational update on Sunday evening: “Kherson was occupied from the first days and Russia really believed that it would be able to hold a referendum and create the HPR [Kherson people’s republic] here with Russian rules and orders.
“For almost half a year our people have been resisting … Occupiers are trying to forcefully and mentally conquer us, but we will endure and will definitely win.”
Russian military officials give a different story.
“That there will be a counteroffensive – all this is fantasy,” Kirill Stremousov, deputy head of the Russian-installed regional authority in Kherson, told RIA Novosti on Sunday.
Despite Russian denials, the British defence ministry confirmed Moscow moved to reinforce its defensive positions across the occupied areas in southern Ukraine in a “likely a response to anticipated Ukrainian offensives”.
“Given the pressures on Russian manpower, the reinforcement of the south whilst the fight for the Donbas continues likely indicates the seriousness with which Russian commanders view the threat,” the ministry said in a report on 17 July. | https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jul/25/ukraine-claims-it-will-recapture-kherson-by-september-with-aide-of-western-weapons | 2022-07-25T05:35:29Z | https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jul/25/ukraine-claims-it-will-recapture-kherson-by-september-with-aide-of-western-weapons | true | 2 |

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Jury selection is set for Monday in a trial that will determine for the first time how much Infowars host Alex Jones must pay Sandy Hook Elementary School parents for falsely telling his audience that the deadliest classroom shooting in U.S. history was a hoax.
The trial in Austin, Texas — where the conspiracy theorist lives and broadcasts his show — follows months of delays. Jones has racked up fines for ignoring court orders and he put Infowars into bankruptcy protection just before the trial was originally set to start in April.
At stake for Jones is another potentially major financial blow that could put his constellation of conspiracy peddling businesses into deeper jeopardy. He has already been banned from YouTube, Facebook and Spotify over violating hate-speech policies.
The trial involving the parents of two Sandy Hook families is only the start for Jones; damages have yet to be awarded in separate defamation cases for other families of the 2012 massacre in Newtown, Connecticut.
The lawsuits do not ask jurors to award a specific dollar amount against Jones.
Courts in Texas and Connecticut have already found Jones liable for defamation for his portrayal of the Sandy Hook massacre as a hoax involving actors aimed at increasing gun control. In both states, judges have issued default judgements against Jones without trials because he failed to respond to court orders and turn over documents.
The 2012 shooting killed 20 first graders and six educators. Families of eight of the victims and an FBI agent who responded to the school are suing Jones and his company, Free Speech Systems.
Jones has since acknowledged that the shooting took place. During a deposition in April, Jones insisted he wasn’t responsible for the suffering that Sandy Hook parents say they have endured because of the hoax conspiracy, including death threats and harassment by Jones’ followers.
“No, I don’t (accept) responsibility because I wasn’t trying to cause pain and suffering,” Jones said, according to the transcripts made public this month. He continued: “They are being used and their children who can’t be brought back (are) being used to destroy the First Amendment.”
Jones claimed in court records last year that he had a negative net worth of $20 million, but attorneys for Sandy Hook families have painted a different financial picture.
Court records show that Jones’ Infowars store, which sells nutritional supplements and survival gear, made more than $165 million between 2015 and 2018. Jones has also urged listeners on his Infowars program to donate money.

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — It only made sense that Sydney McLaughlin would run the last, victorious lap of world championships for the United States.
It only made sense she would win that race by a lot.
America’s burgeoning speed star turned a close 4x400-meter relay into a laugher on the anchor leg Sunday, putting the final stamp on the first worlds held in the U.S. and delivering America's record 33rd medal of the meet.
It was their 13th gold, one short of the all-time mark.
After taking the baton from Britton Wilson, McLaughlin turned a .73-second lead into a 2.93-second blowout over Jamaica, adding this burst of speed to the world record she set two nights earlier in the 400 hurdles.
This one was especially sweet, as it also marked the 14th and final world gold for 36-year-old Allyson Felix, who came out of retirement to run in the preliminary of the 4x400 and, so, gets a medal. She finishes her career with a record 20 world medals, overall.
“We’re a family, we stick together,” McLaughlin said. “Allyson came out of retirement to get us here, so we wanted to do this.”
The U.S. team, also featuring Talitha Diggs and Abby Steiner, who was part of the winning 4x100 relay team the night before, won the women’s race in 3 minutes, 17.79 seconds.
The 33 medals were three more than the U.S. collected in 2017.
Other records fell, too — in the very first and very last action of the last session at hot-and-sunny Hayward Stadium, the 25,000-seat gem built at University of Oregon to bring the worlds to Eugene.
Nigeria's Tobi Amusan opened the evening by setting the record for the 100-meter hurdles in the semifinals: 12.12 seconds. She came back about 90 minutes later to win the gold medal. Her medal-race time was actually faster — 12.06 — but the wind was too strong, so that mark doesn’t go in the books.
“When I watched the record, I was like ‘Whoa, who did that?‘” Amusan said.
And after McLaughlin was done with her last lap, pole vaulter Armand Duplantis of Sweden cleared 6.21 meters (20 feet, 4 1/2 inches) to best his world record by .01.
As was the case through most of these 10 days, America's medals came from every corner of the track — and the field.
Athing Mu said she struggled in capturing gold in the 800, busting through the two laps in 1:56.30 — a .08 margin over Britain’s Keely Hodgkinson.
“I'm just glad I could make it to the line and finish the race,” she said. “And thank God I won gold.”
The 20-year-old Mu is now the Olympic and world champion at that distance and, along with McLaughlin, part of a bright future for the United States with the Paris Olympics now two years away.
In between, a sprinter named Champion — Champion Allison — anchored the men’s 4x400 to an easy win for medal No. 32. The U.S. won in 2:56.17 for a 2.41-second margin over Jamaica.
Another medal went to U.S. pole vaulter Christopher Nilsen, who cleared 5.94 meters (19 feet, 5 3/4 inches), to clinch silver, then stepped aside to see what Duplantis would do.
The Olympic champion known as “Mondo” missed on his first attempt at the record, then waited for the relay, then got the crowd clapping in rhythm for him and cleared the bar.
Last year at the Olympics in Tokyo, the U.S. men got shut out of the sprints, leading to some questions about what was wrong.
Answer: Not much. With Fred Kerley and Noah Lyles leading the way, the men swept the sprints earlier in the week, and Ryan Crouser led a sweep in shot put. The 4x100 silver-medal relay team was messy — nothing new there — but it was a blip.
In all, the men walked away with four more medals than the women during this 10-day meet.
“It kind of fueled us to make a mark and demonstrate that we are Team USA, instead of people doubting us,” Michael Norman, who added the relay gold to his win in the 400 flat, said of the men's reset after Tokyo. “I think we really stepped up based on that.”
In other action, Kevin Mayer of France won the decathlon, adding this to his title in 2017.
And the 5,000-meter title went to Jakob Ingebrigtsen of Norway, who finished in 13:09.24 in a special race.
That was the last race the legendary Steve Prefontaine of Oregon ran before a fatal car accident in Eugene in 1975.
It's a city brimming with tributes to “Pre,” and in many ways, track's biggest event, the world championships, ended up in this college town of 170,000 because of the tracks he laid down a half-century ago.
“This is probably the best place I could have won it,” Ingebrigtsen said.
All those U.S. medal holders would certainly agree.

Sweden's Armand Duplantis broke his own pole vault world record with a jump of 6.21 metres on Sunday on the way to winning his first gold medal at the World Athletics Championships in Eugene, Oregon.
The Olympic champion cleared 6.00m to make sure of the title, before he set his sights on his own record of 6.20m set at the World Indoor Championships in Belgrade earlier this year and improved upon it by 1cm with his second attempt.
The world title completes the 22-year-old's collection, making him the first pole vaulter to have won gold at the Olympics, World Championships, World Indoor Championships, World Junior Championships, World Youth Championships and European Championships.
"Actually, I did not think about the record that much today," Duplantis said. "Usually, it is always somewhere in the back of my mind but today I was really focused on the win and I really wanted to win the gold so badly. It was the medal I was missing.
"So when I was on this height, it was like everything came together and it happened from there. I love jumping in Eugene and it was amazing here."
Duplantis took two attempts at 5.87m before clearing 6.00m and 6.06m with ease to edge Dmitri Markov's Championships mark of 6.05m set in Edmonton in 2001.
He then had the bar raised to 6.21m, falling short on his first attempt but soaring to the world record on the second.
It was the third time this year that Duplantis has set a world record and his fifth record-setting jump overall after breaking Frenchman Renaud Lavillenie's 6.16m world mark with a clearance of 6.17m in February 2020.
American Chris Nilsen jumped 5.94m to take silver on countback ahead of the Philippines' Ernest John Obiena, who won his nation's first World Championships medal.
"This was something I really wanted but I do not know if I was expecting it," Obiena said. "I definitely did not expect that I would jump that high. And I would not think that it would actually take that high to win a medal." | https://www.rediff.com/sports/report/pix-world-athletics-duplantis-creates-history-with-gold-medal-pole-vault/20220725.htm | 2022-07-25T05:54:40Z | https://www.rediff.com/sports/report/pix-world-athletics-duplantis-creates-history-with-gold-medal-pole-vault/20220725.htm | true | 7 |
John Cusack, what happened to the protagonist of ‘High Fidelity’?
Star of some of Hollywood’s most unforgettable romantic comedies, John Cusack has captivated audiences for decades, under the skin of brilliant ordinary men in love in How to be John Malkovich (1999), High Fidelity (2000) or Serendipity (2001). However, a few years ago she embarked on an exhausting streak of disappointing thrillers and movies that should not be remembered.
For a long time, this icon of late 90s cinema has walked in the background and many will wonder what happened to John Cusack? The truth is that in his story there is a mixture of bad decisions, controversial statements and a complex personality. Those who know him closely, like his sister Joan, define him as melancholic and sweet, but also worse eccentric and tremendously political. This is how Joan Cusack spoke of him when the actor received his star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2012. The truth is that in his Twitter biography, Cusack prefers the phrase “apocalyptic fucking disturber”.
“
“
His career in the world of acting began when he was just 16, on stage. It was in the 80s when she made the leap to the movies, with teen movies that broke the box office in the United States. Her first leading role and the one that gave her fame in Hollywood was college love games (1985), a small miracle in the adolescent films of the genre, ingenious and funny that put him in the spotlight to become the new actor of the romantic cliché that he liked so much at that time.
Later came titles like A great love (1989), the scammers (1990) and his first film under the direction of Woody Allen shadows and mist (1991), an irregular film that, however, would allow him to work with the famous filmmaker again, this time as the protagonist in bullets over broadway (1994).
Of all the genres, the romantic comedy seemed to be the perfect glove for the actor. This was demonstrated in How to be John Malkovick (1999) film by Spike Jonze in which he worked alongside the actress of the moment, Cameron Diaz. And of course, High Fidelity (2000), one of the first romantic indie films that ended up becoming a cult film.
He never wanted to be a heartbreaker
Along with actresses like Julia Roberts either Catherine Zeta-JonesCusack has fallen in love with his characters for years, but tired of playing heartthrob, well into the 2000s, the actor decided to walk away in another direction. That’s when titles like the natural disaster movie arrive 2012 (2009), which can be seen this Sunday at 1, Missing (2012) or the newspaper boy (2012), along with Nicole Kidman. All of them without a too strong reception among the public.
At 56, his private life is also another great mystery. Jealous of the most intimate and personal facet of him, he has hardly been linked to any partner, beyond the actress Jodi Lyn O’Keefe whom he dated for six years. He has never married or had children and all aspects related to it are a great unknown.
Hollywood, a “brothel” to which he does not want to belong
In 2014 other problems begin for the actor. David Cronenberg calls him for his new movie Map of stars. In an interview with Guardian About his role in the Hollywood satire, John Cusack was very outspoken about the strange and sometimes terrible world of Hollywood, saying that the old ways of filmmaking are gone and now it’s all about franchises and huge stars. Although perhaps what stung him the most in the industry was his statement that Hollywood was “a brothel and people go crazy”.
Social and political activist, creator of a foundation for freedom of the press. The followers of his Twitter account will know the powerful aversion that this actor has towards characters like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. In addition, his politics were more than notable during the last US elections, where he strongly called for the vote against Trump. Something about which he has written several articles for the Huffington Post.
“
“
A free-thinking mind that may not be the best of the models to extol within the commercial film industry. That, together with his strong character, the bad decisions when choosing which titles he works on -within the possibilities offered to him- and that for some time he has also been involved in writing his own films, have removed the actor from the spotlight media for a long time.
With everything, continues to make independent films and action thrillers, although neither seem to give him the return that his fans are looking for. In addition, after his appearance in the series Utopiathe actor does not rule out continuing to expand his way to television. | https://codelist.biz/2022/07/25/john-cusack-what-happened-to-the-protagonist-of-high-fidelity/ | 2022-07-25T05:54:41Z | https://codelist.biz/2022/07/25/john-cusack-what-happened-to-the-protagonist-of-high-fidelity/ | true | 1 |

As the dramatic conclusion to Better Call Saul looms, we ask: why did it succeed when so many other spin-offs have failed? And is the reason Bob Odenkirk?
Better Call Saul did not start out as a sure thing.
Sure, being a spin-off from one of the most acclaimed and popular US drama series of the 21st century definitely didn’t hurt. But more often than not spin-offs fall over and flame out (anyone remember Joey?).
Breaking Bad was a nail-bitingly tense series about the moral decay of a high school teacher turned meth chemist. Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) was just his comic relief lawyer, a bit character mostly around to break the ice (not literally) with his sleazy, high energy antics and naked cowardice.
Now as its final episodes arrive, Better Call Saul is the rare spin-off that just might have surpassed its parent. Over six seasons the prequel has developed such a strong solo identity that even the prospect of Breaking Bad stars Bryan Cranston and Paul Aaron turning up for guest appearances can’t overshadow its stand-alone success. No doubt their appearance will be fun, but until now it’s been how the relationship between Saul – real name ‘Slipping’ Jimmy McGill – and Kim Wexler (Rhea Seehorn) pans out that’s been really driving fans.
Read: Walter White and Jesse Pinkman to return in Better Call Saul
(Kim does not appear in Breaking Bad, which means – unusually for a prequel – her fate has been up in the air)
Read: Better Call Saul – what happens to Kim?
In its last few seasons, Saul has been, much like Breaking Bad at its peak, a finely tuned machine built to generate tension. Each episode, it’s been carefully wringing maximum drama from what seems, from a distance, like minimum material. As a lawyer, Jimmy is a natural con man, someone convinced that the world owes him just a little bit more than he’s got. Will his urge to bend the system until it breaks trash his legal career and infect his straight arrow wife, a woman with some basic human decency to lose?
Then there’s aging fixer Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks) a Breaking Bad character whose path rarely crosses with Jimmy’s but whose increasing involvement in the Albuquerque drug world – and with Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito), nightmare antagonist from Breaking Bad – signposts the grim future that awaits them all.
A hit is a half-formed thing
What makes Better Call Saul’s success remarkable is that it didn’t leap onto our screens fully formed. Rewatching its early episodes, it’s clearly unsure of exactly what kind of series it wants to be. Wacky legal cases of the week? A family drama exploring the tension between Jimmy and his legendary but mentally shaky brother Chuck (Michael McKean) who doesn’t even think he should be a lawyer (for good reason)?
Better Call Saul has always explicitly been about one man’s downfall, as the struggling but still basically good Jimmy eventually gives up and becomes the sleazy Saul. It’s how that was going to play out that has often been in flux. Kim, who’s been central to the success of the series, gets one line in the first episode; many of the series’ mainstays don’t turn up until later seasons, while McKean left the series at the end of season three.
Top job, Bob
Through these changes, one element remained constant: Bob Odenkirk. Almost completely untested as a dramatic actor before Saul, he was (and is) a near-legendary figure in American comedy, with a career stretching back to the 80s writing for Saturday Night Live where he helped make Chris Farley a star.
Leaving New York for LA in the late 80s, as a performer he appeared on the short-lived but extremely influential Ben Stiller Show before breaking into slightly wider obscurity alongside David Cross with the brilliant Mr Show.
Mr Show is well worth seeking out on its own merits. But for Saul fans, seeing Odenkirk often playing a man in a suit prone to sudden, startling outbursts of extreme anger – nobody can cut loose with angry expletives like Odenkirk – is a teeny-tiny window into the origins of Saul Goodman. And just a great way to see some of the best sketches ever made.
Mr Show ran four seasons, to the increasingly familiar refrain of critical acclaim and struggling ratings (a terrible timeslot for the final run didn’t help). After that, things never quite came together, as Odenkirk hilariously recounts in his recent must-read biography Comedy Comedy Comedy Drama.
Guest roles on other series were plentiful but brief. His style worked on series as disparate as Friends spin-off Joey and surreal comedy Tim & Eric Awesome Show Great Job!, but being a comedian’s comedian doesn’t pay the bills. At first, a guest spot on Breaking Bad seemed like more of the same.
A straight dramatic actor might have made the character work, but they wouldn’t have been able to make him great. A needy man, angry at the world, never quite living up to everyone’s standards; that’s a role Odenkirk was born to play. In fact, he’d been playing it for decades – just in comedy rather than drama.
Over six seasons, Odenkirk has taken a comic relief character and turned him into one of the great tragic figures of American television. Always charming and likable, he’s shown how those qualities can grease the path of moral decay, how being able to win people over isn’t such a great thing when your basic nature is to take the easy route, the cheater’s path. He doesn’t want to be a bad guy, but being good is just too much work.
Odenkirk may not get another role like Jimmy McGill. He may not want one. His recent (and first) leading movie role was in Nobody, an action movie based on the joke that someone like him could be an unstoppable arse-kicking machine. He’s announced his next project after Saul is a comedy with Cross about rival cult leaders. He’ll always be a comedian at heart.
But there’s not a lot left to laugh at on Better Call Saul.
Better Call Saul’s final four episodes will air weekly on Stan from July 26. | https://www.screenhub.com.au/news/features/ode-to-odenkirk-better-call-saul-may-be-breaking-bads-better-half-2556539/ | 2022-07-25T05:57:44Z | https://www.screenhub.com.au/news/features/ode-to-odenkirk-better-call-saul-may-be-breaking-bads-better-half-2556539/ | true | 1 |
Issued on:
President Emmanuel Macron on Monday begins a three-nation tour of western African states in the first trip to Africa of his new term as he seeks to reboot France’s post-colonial relationship with the continent.
Macron will begin his July 25-28 tour, also the first venture outside Europe of his new mandate, with a visit to Cameroon, before moving on to Benin and then finishing the trip in Guinea-Bissau.
Top of the agenda in the talks will be food supply issues, with African nations fearing shortages especially of grain due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
But security will also loom large as France prepares to complete its pullout from Mali this year, with all countries in the region seeking to head off fears of Islamist insurgencies.
The trip to three countries which rarely feature on the itinerary of global leaders comes with Macron, who won a new term in April, pledging to keep up his bid for a new relationship between France and Africa.
France has also followed with concern the emergence of other powers seeking a foothold in an area Paris still considers parts of its sphere of influence, notably Turkey under President Recep Tayyip Erdogan but also increasingly China and Russia.
‘Political priority’
The tour “will show the commitment of the president in the process of renewing the relationship with the African continent”, said a French presidential official, who asked not to be named.
It will signal that the African continent is a “political priority” of his presidency.
In Cameroon, which has been riven by ethnic violence and an insurgency by anglophone separatists, Macron will meet President Paul Biya, 89, who has ruled the country for almost 40 years and is the longest-serving non-royal leader in the world.
Biya has run the country with an iron fist, refusing demands for federalism and cracking down on the rebellion by separatists.
Macron will move on Wednesday to Benin, a neighbour of Africa’s most populous nation Nigeria. The north of the country has faced more deadly attacks, with the jihadist threat now spreading from the Sahel to Gulf of Guinea nations.
He is likely to be lauded for championing the return in November of 26 historic treasures which were stolen in 1892 by French colonial forces from Abomey, capital of the former Dahomey kingdom located in the south of modern-day Benin.
Benin was long praised for its thriving multi-party democracy. But critics say its democracy has steadily eroded under President Patrice Talon over the last half decade. Opposition leader Reckya Madougou was sentenced in 2021 to 20 years in prison on terrorism charges.
On Thursday, Macron will finish his tour in Guinea-Bissau, which has been riven by political crisis at a time when its President Umaro Sissoco Embalo is preparing to take the helm of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).
Rethink strategy
With all the countries criticised by activists over their rights records, the Elysee has insisted that governance and rights issues will be raised, albeit “without media noise but in the form of direct exchanges between the heads of states”.
Macron’s first term was marked by visits to non-francophone African countries including regional powerhouses Nigeria and South Africa as he sought to engage with the entire continent and not just former French possessions.
Benin is a former French colony, but Guinea-Bissau was once a Portuguese colony while Cameroon’s colonial heritage is a mixture of British and German as well as French.
Macron meanwhile has insisted France’s military presence in the region will adapt rather than disappear once the pullout from Mali is complete.
He announced last week that a rethink of France’s presence would be complete by autumn, saying the military should be “less exposed” in the future but their deployment still a “strategic necessity”.
The pullout from Mali follows a breakdown in relations with the country’s ruling junta, which Western states accuse of relying on Russian Wagner mercenaries rather than European allies to fight an Islamist insurgency.

Criminal Complaint Filed Against Gotabaya Rajapaksa In Singapore For 'War Crimes'
Singapore: A South Africa-based rights group has submitted a criminal complaint to the Attorney General of Singapore requesting the arrest of former Sri Lankan President, Gotabaya Rajapaksa, for alleged war crimes.
Lawyers from the International Truth and Justice Project (ITJP) submitted a 63-page complaint that argues that Rajapaksa committed grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions during the civil war in 2009 when he was secretary of defence and that these are crimes subject to domestic prosecution in Singapore under universal jurisdiction.
The legal complaint states that Gotabaya Rajapaksa committed violations of international humanitarian law and international criminal law during the civil war in Sri Lanka.
"These include murder, execution, torture and inhuman treatment, rape and other forms of sexual violence, deprivation of liberty, severe bodily and mental harm, and starvation," ITJP said in a statement.
Rajapaksa fled to Singapore vis Maldives in mid-July after months of mass protests calling for his resignation. The unrest was triggered due to the economic collapse of the country. Ranil Wickramasinghe has been elected as the new President of Sri Lanka.
"The economic meltdown has seen the government collapse but the crisis in Sri Lanka is really linked to structural impunity for serious international crimes going back three decades or more," said the ITJP's executive director, Yasmin Sooka. "This complaint recognises that it's not just about corruption and economic mismanagement but also accountability for mass atrocity crimes."
The ITJP submission to the Attorney General calls for the arrest, investigation and indictment of Gotabaya Rajapaksa. It outlines the former President's role as a former military commander in 1989, in charge of a district where at least 700 people disappeared under his watch. The document focuses mainly on his role as Sri Lanka's secretary of defence, during the end of the country's civil war in 2009.
According to an ITJP, detailed evidence is adduced to show that Rajapaksa issued direct orders by telephone to his former military buddies whom he appointed as Major Generals to command the offensive and watched the conduct of the battle live on surveillance and drone footage in headquarters.
The rights group said that the dossier submitted by them contains accounts of repeated and deliberate strikes by the army on civilians sheltering in earthen bunkers, killed while queuing for food or receiving first aid treatment in hellish conditions lying on the floor of makeshift clinics.
"It details how the decision to expel aid workers from the war zone in September 2008 was Gotabaya Rajapaksa's and designed to hide the extent of human suffering from the eyes of the world. Even United Nations offices in the war zone were repeatedly hit by the Sri Lankan air force to encourage aid workers to flee and yet Gotabaya Rajapaksa himself boasted that the air force could pinpoint targets; he said they surveilled targets and planned and reviewed every air strike," ITJP said.
According to the rights group, Gotabaya Rajapaksa's ministry was in charge of approving humanitarian deliveries to the war zone and although he sat in meetings with humanitarian agencies who repeatedly warned that the civilian population were in desperate need of life-saving medicine and food, he denied permission to send in supplies. | http://www.indiandefensenews.in/2022/07/criminal-complaint-filed-against.html | 2022-07-25T06:09:57Z | http://www.indiandefensenews.in/2022/07/criminal-complaint-filed-against.html | true | 7 |

Lorraine Kelly opens up about 'loneliness' at home 'All I wanted was a hug'
LORRAINE KELLY opened up in an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk about how she experienced "loneliness" at home and just "wanted a hug".
Lorraine discusses Hugh Grant potentially playing Prince Andrew
Lorraine Kelly, 62, spoke about her experience with “loneliness” at home and how her pets have brought her comfort during tougher times. Chatting to Express.co.uk, Lorraine explained: “This is all about loneliness and how you can make yourself less lonely and what an important part pets play in that.”
Lorraine has had her beloved border terrier Angus for eight years and also spends a lot of time with her daughter Rosie’s sausage dog, Ruby.
The ITV host continued: “I posted a wee picture of me and my daughter’s wee dog Ruby because when I went home yesterday, all I wanted was a hug from a wee dog.
“Angus isn’t very huggy, but Ruby will snuggle in and just make me feel a bit better.
“It’s that thing of, the healing power of pets, particularly wee dogs.”

Lorraine explained that Angus had a big effect on her life especially when she moved from Scotland and didn’t know many people.
She said: “When we moved house and we were out walking, everybody wants to talk to you and say hello, and that’s lovely!
“It might not be that you end up being really, really good mates, but you meet people and chat to people and you’re not feeling isolated anymore.
“It is just good to have that social connection, especially after lockdown, I think everybody needs that.”
The Scottish presenter added that she did a “wee experiment” where she took Angus out for a walk and was surprised by how many people came to say hello.
She said: “It’s not because I'm on the telly, it wasn’t that at all. They see Angus first and chat about their dogs and life in general.
“You find yourself striking up conversations that you probably wouldn’t do if you had just been out for a walk on your own, it makes all the difference.
“Loneliness is a big thing, especially during the pandemic. It was a huge problem with people feeling terribly isolated and you forget how important that is to us, we are sociable animals and we need to have that connection.

“Apart from anything else, it is really good for your mental health. Just having a wee dog sitting beside you on the sofa, it’s soothing.”
It comes as Lorraine has partnered with MORE THAN insurance and Dogs For Good to promote the positive impact pets have.
On why she wanted to get involved, the TV legend said: “I don’t know how I would manage without wee dogs. Angus is eight and we have had dogs for 20 years.
“It’s that enthusiastic welcome when you get home, I mean, I could be away from Angus for like two minutes or two days and you get the same welcome. It makes you feel very special.
“It is another heartbeat in the house and you don’t feel quite so lonely.
"I love it when I've got a little dog at my feet. It is very calming and it makes you feel less stressed and it’s really good for anxiety.”
Lorraine Kelly has partnered with MORE THAN insurance and UK charity Dogs for Good to highlight how dogs can combat loneliness and support with our mental wellbeing.

'Elvis' actress Shonka Dukureh taped faith message at Hope Church a week before she died
Good Monday morning!
This is Executive Editor Mark Russell, and you're reading the Daily Briefing, our one-stop digital shop for the best Memphis stories from our award-winning CommercialAppeal team.
I found myself in the middle of a news story while attending Hope Church's 9:30 a.m. Sunday service. The service started unremarkably with a few songs from Hope's musical team, but a hush fell over the sanctuary when the Rev. Eli Morris introduced a video interview that would be the central message of his sermon on "Navigating the Shadows: Psalm 23."
Appearing on the Cordova church's big screens was Shonka Dukureh, the blues singer and actress who played Big Mama Thornton in the "Elvis" movie. Dukureh, 44, was found dead in her Nashville home this past Thursday. Morris interviewed Dukureh in the church's sanctuary a week before she died. Here's my story on the moving service.
The National Bar Association, which started its annual conference Sunday in Memphis, is the nation's largest -- and oldest -- group of Black attorneys and judges. Conference attendees will discuss criminal justice, voting and other major legal issues.
The NBA has not met in two years, with the global pandemic shuttering in-person events. As the organization considered where to host the upcoming 2022 convention, the group's president, Judge Carols Moore, said Memphis' history brought the NBA to the Bluff City, our Lucas Finton reports.
Meanwhile, with wait times up to four hours when the clerk office is busiest, Shelby County Clerk Wanda Halbert has announced plans to curb in-person waiting for license and plate renewals, Lucas reports.
Operating under the phrase "No line, no wait," the plan, announced late Friday, is meant to act as a temporary fix to prevent long lines at various locations and will go into effect Tuesday morning. Lines will be slashed to accommodate between 15 and 20 customers at a time, with everyone else checking in and waiting for a phone call when they are ready to be served.
Finally, the local movers and shakers were out Friday night to toast one of the region's biggest stars, Priscilla Presley.
Theatre Memphis honored Presley’s contributions to Memphis art and tourism Friday night with a gala, “Honoring Priscilla Presley: The Artist, The Woman,” featuring more than a dozen speakers and a live musical tribute, our Niki Scheinberg reports. Here is the photo gallery from Christine Tannous, who covered the event.

When James Harden entered the NBA in 2009, the league’s highest-paid player, Kobe Bryant, made just over $23m a year. Now, there are 50 players making more than that sum, and the highest-paid among them, Steph Curry, will make a hair over $48m in 2022-23.
But when Harden declined his player-option of $47.3m next season to sign a new two-year contract (with a player-option in Year 2) worth $68.6m that will see him take a $14m discount next year, he became the first star player to take a pay cut of that magnitude in the modern history of the league. After all, this isn’t Dirk Nowitzki taking a team-friendly deal at 39-years-old or Kevin Durant, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh losing out on a couple million in the prime of their careers. Harden took a big pay cut with the aim of helping his Philadelphia 76ers build a championship contender around himself and co-star Joel Embiid, reportedly telling Sixers’ president of basketball operations Daryl Morey “to improve the roster, sign who we needed to sign and give me whatever is left over.”
That pay cut helped the Sixers sign veteran forward PJ Tucker to a three-year, $33m contract, prying him away from the rival Miami Heat, who beat the Sixers in the 2022 playoffs. Embiid specifically mentioned Tucker as someone who plays with the kind of toughness and physicality that the Sixers lacked, saying, “since I’ve been here I’d be lying if I said that we’ve had those type of guys… we never had [a] PJ Tucker.”
The Sixers also signed Danuel House Jr to a two-year, $8.4m contract and Trevelin Queen, the 2021-22 G League MVP. The Sixers added depth, athleticism and shooting to a team that could have gone to the NBA finals last year had Embiid not suffered an orbital fracture and torn ligament in his thumb during the playoffs. They wouldn’t have been able to add those players – and improve their title chances – if not for Harden’s pay cut.
Harden is a former MVP, a 10-time All-Star, and a three-time scoring champion who has every individual accolade possible, but he has never won an NBA championship. You would think that his willingness to do everything in his power to compete for a championship would be commended.
But instead his decision to take a pay cut has been met with cynicism by pundits and fans – at least those outside of Philadelphia.
ESPN’s Max Kellerman echoed a lot of peoples’ sentiments when he said: “The reason I’m being cynical is because … it’s doing two things at once: it does help them sign guys and everything, House and PJ Tucker – but really what it also does is get him an extra [guaranteed] $27m and another year [on his deal], and maybe what he’s feeling now is: ‘I don’t know if I’m going to get that in two years.’” Others have speculated that Harden will make the money back in some mischievous way, either off the books or in the form of a secretly promised long-term extension next offseason.

But that’s all just speculation, and nothing is guaranteed in the NBA, as one injury at age 32 could significantly impact Harden’s future earnings. This was possibly his final opportunity to cash in – especially with his skills apparently on the decline. But instead of opting into his $47m player-option next season or taking the maximum amount as a free agent on the open market – which the Sixers would have likely had to match, since they have such little leverage and couldn’t watch him walk for nothing – he took a discount. That is what we know.
“[I’m] cynical only because people a lot of times frame things as if they’re not self-interested, and they’re almost always self-interested,” Kellerman added, in the same breath acknowledging that Harden turned down long-term extensions from both his previous teams, the Houston Rockets and Brooklyn Nets, because he didn’t like the direction the franchises were headed. So yes, it is a self-interested move, but not monetarily speaking — maybe the idea that people can have self-interests outside of money is too hard for some people to understand.
Aside from speculating about Harden’s hidden agendas, what jars is that the same people who criticize players such as Damian Lillard and Bradley Beal for taking the most money possible to stay with their middling franchises – ones that have failed to build championship-caliber teams around them time and again – also criticize Harden for taking less money to try to win a championship. The same people who laugh at Chris Paul and Charles Barkley for never winning a title will laugh at Harden taking a pay cut to try to do so.
Perhaps it’s because of Harden’s past that he’s criticized in this way. After all, this is the same player who forced his Rockets to trade a prime Chris Paul for an ill-fitting Russell Westbrook because he grew frustrated with the partnership. It’s the same player who forced his way from the Rockets to the Nets after showing up unfit to play, and then from the Nets to the Sixers after growing frustrated with the Kyrie Irving situation, all within the span of one year. Not to mention the same player who, um, enjoys a good party. But is it fair to attack Harden for learning from his past and finally hunkering down with one team and doing everything he can to help them win?
Harden seems to be at a point in his career where he is willing to sacrifice for the greater good of the team and, most importantly, for his first NBA championship. After making $269m in his career on the court and more than $200m from Adidas (plus more from other sponsorships) off it, Harden is willing to leave a significant amount of money on the table in order to achieve a lifelong dream of winning a championship. And that’s somehow seen as a bad thing.
The real reason that so many people seem to be upset with Harden’s decision is either because they don’t like Harden based on what he’s done in the past, or because they are simply jealous that the star player on their favourite team won’t do the same. That isn’t to say that other star players should feel pressure to take a discount like Harden did – only that if they do, they should be lauded, not questioned.
After all, it’s decisions like these that make a salary-capped league like the NBA more competitive. The Sixers could now realistically compete with the Boston Celtics, Miami Heat, and Milwaukee Bucks in a playoff series, and that makes for good television if nothing else.
When it comes to creating a healthy working culture – something that the Sixers have been unsuccessful at over the course of Embiid’s tenure – a move like this could help foster a lot of goodwill among the rest of the roster, with other players more likely to sacrifice on and off the court for the greater good of the team.
The Sixers probably won’t win the championship this coming season, but sometimes the method matters just as much as the results. And by giving them a slightly better shot at winning a title when depth is more important than ever and when most stars seem to be more focused on maximizing their earnings than winning, that’s commendable. And more than that, it could be inspirational.
Harden could set a new precedent in the NBA for other superstars to follow. Even if the Sixers don’t win it all, Harden could show the next generation that once you’ve gained enough individual accolades and made enough money, you can go for it, regardless of what the talking heads say. Plus, if Harden does win a championship or even two, there’s no telling how much more money he could make in sponsorship deals and post-career opportunities due to his success, like Garnett starring in Uncut Gems.
Harden could have taken the easy way out and cashed in, but instead he did what few superstars were willing to do before him and put his money where his mouth is. Now we wait and see what impact that decision will have on the future of the NBA. | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/world/james-harden-has-taken-a-14m-pay-cut-to-try-to-win-a-title-why-the-hate/273153/ | 2022-07-25T06:55:16Z | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/world/james-harden-has-taken-a-14m-pay-cut-to-try-to-win-a-title-why-the-hate/273153/ | true | 3 |

Reassessing Violence
By Orion on Mon, 05/09/2022 - 6:03pm |During a conversation, Artappraiser took note of the fact that everything going on in Ukraine reinforces the need for people to have firearms in order to defend themselves or a community. I retorted by saying that the weapons there are only accessible by militia members, who get them after an application process.
Part of why gun rights are so salient is that there is a strong logic to it. In NRA literature, I once read that "the simple presence of a gun is enough to end a situation." This is honestly true. Display a weapon and you could very well end a toxic situation that would only just continue if people didn't realize that you could actually take it that far.
I would say that the Ukraine situation makes us reassessing weapons as tools that are quite necessary. Weapons are tools - you can use them to get a rapist to stop or you could use them to kill children.
Nevertheless the Second Amendment is pretty clear about what it intended:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
An individualist, capitalist culture is going to lead to rogue individuals shooting people. The Second Amendment not only mentions "well regulated," which could constitute gun control but also "militia," which denotes a community of people tasked with defense. That is a fantasy that right wing survivalists would play out but the Ukraine situation actually shows it in action. A communitarian society is going to have those tools in the hands of those who are in a position to protect.

The simple presence of a gun is enough to cause a shootout as well. Seen it happen. Happening more and more - especially to/from rappers.

Orion it's the same old same old. The solution is simple and has long been offered: firearms must be licensed and insured and users must be licensed JUST LIKE MOTOR VEHICLES.
The founders didn't know from licensing of anything, so they used the terminology "well regulated" instead.
Why can't we accomplish this like we did when horseless carriages started to become popular?
Well, libertarian types think if the gummint knows where the guns are, they will have all the into. to come door to door and confiscate them when they plan a totalitarian takeover.
I will then add this about Ukraine. Those individual firearms weren't enough for Zelensky's crew to fight back against against a takeover. You may have noted how he's been begging every day, every hour, every minute for more bigger weapons.

Not really - the Founding Fathers were all about militias as the way to preserve democracy, and militias are obviously more "regulated" than "licensed", which wouldn't make sense. There was a pretty decent article on this recently, but God knows where.
And seems Azov guys are much better behaved as part of a well-regulated militia, go figger.

I'm not convinced this would help the violence situation much, precisely because the crime epidemic we are experiencing in this country is not for the most part being executed by political "extremists" but by repeat career criminals ad criminally insane.
But if violent extremists is what keeps you up at night (irrationally I think), this is for you. You probably won't lke it, but here it is anyway

just a warning for those who want to go there and emphasize the danger of white supremacists-conservatives are making lists, checking them twice, and posting them on social media, like this one, for example:

You know, until recently, people were agricultural and lived far distances from each other. 72% of the world was in agriculture in 1900.
In 1900, just under 40 percent of the total US population lived on farms, and 60 percent lived in rural areas. Today, the respective figures are only about 1 percent and 20 percent.
Which meant they were largely disconnected, no community except family on the farm - why didn't the saddle up, ride into town and kill everyone?

As someone who has studied a lot of 19th-century and early 20th century cultural history, I totally agree with you. Of course the societal situation then did drive a considerable number of small-town and farm people mad (not to mention the isolated insulated "protected" women and children of middle and upper class urban families) but they usually didn't take it out on the neighbors, instead they might hack their relatives to death. (Jack the Ripper and Ed Gein were outliers on that front, that's why they got so famous.)

Sorry but I just see you projecting your own needs and desires onto society at large.
I think there's few people who pine for the mythical golden olden days when Gladys the local telephone switchboard operator knew everyone's business and spread gossip about it. So that everyone in town knew your kid had gay tendencies so they better shape up or else, and that artsy girl over there better shape up, settle down, get married and have children.
Yes I admit we did hire police forces so that Aunt Bea would no longer be in charge of policing the community.
Only reason so many more got the loneliness blues recently is that they were forced into lockdown without an ability to interact socially. Doesn't mean that in normal times, their extended family drove them crazy and they wish they could cut down on the contact.
Let's try this again: for over a decade recently NYC was one of the safest cities in the world. It's very possible, it's really is. WITHOUT any change in living conditions where people do not even know the person in the apartment next to them and everyone rode the subway in cold silence so as not to break anyone's privacy You don't need Aunt Bea snooping into everyone else's business to have total safety and a energized entrepreneurial and creative population into meeting people totally different from themselves

Here is the very good NYTimes article from Weds. comparing the U.S. on gun violence to other countries, in full.
The difference in shootings, IT'S REALLY ALL DUE TO LACK OF REGULATION OF GUNS. In a similar way to that which cars and drivers are regulated. THAT'S ALL THE DIFFERENCE IS. THERE IS NO NEED TO GO INTO ANY OTHER REASON.That's really the reason and the only difference. We Americans are not a different species.You have said it yourself: other countries have guns. The difference is that they regulate them somehow and we don't. It's actually loony to even argue about why they should be regulated, they are complicated machines like motor vehicles that can kill and no one argues about licensing registering and insuring motor vehicles.
Other Countries Had Mass Shootings. Then They Changed Their Gun Laws.
Britain, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Norway: All had a culture of gun ownership, and all tightened restrictions anyway. Their violence statistics now diverge sharply from those of the U.S.
By Max Fisher, May 25, 2022
The world over, mass shootings are frequently met with a common response: Officials impose new restrictions on gun ownership. Mass shootings become rarer. Homicides and suicides tend to decrease, too.
After a British gunman killed 16 people in 1987, the country banned semiautomatic weapons like those he had used. It did the same with most handguns after a 1996 school shooting. It now has one of the lowest gun-related death rates in the developed world.
In Australia, a 1996 massacre prompted mandatory gun buybacks that saw, according to some estimates, as many as one million firearms melted into slag. The rate of mass shootings plummeted from once every 18 months to, so far, only one in the 26 years since.
Canada also tightened gun laws after a 1989 mass shooting. So did Germany in 2002, New Zealand in 2019 and Norway last year.
Only the United States, whose rate and severity of mass shootings is without parallel outside of conflict zones, has so consistently refused to answer those events with tightened gun laws.
Though such restrictions have always brought some controversy, most were broadly embraced by voters in other countries.
Even in Australia, where conservative-leaning politics and rural traditions had long favored gun ownership, citizens broadly accepted the buyback. Some even surrendered weapons they were legally permitted to keep, in a show of support for their country’s tightening gun laws.
Every mass shooting is, in some sense, a fringe event, driven by one-off factors like the ideology or personal circumstances of the shooter. The risk is impossible to fully erase.
Still, the record is clear, confirmed by reams of studies that have analyzed the effects of policies like Britain’s and Australia’s: When countries tighten gun control laws, it leads to fewer guns in private citizens’ hands, which leads to less gun violence — and to fewer mass shootings.
Britain: Sweeping Bans
Britain today has one of the strictest gun control regimes in the developed world, with even many police unarmed. But it was not always that way.
The country’s history of sport hunting had ingrained a long cultural tradition of gun ownership, especially in rural areas.
That began to change in 1987, with the so-called Hungerford massacre, named for the small English town where it took place. A 27-year-old local man used two semiautomatic rifles and a handgun, which he owned legally, to kill 16 people. His motives remain unclear.
Britain’s Conservative government swiftly banned rifles like those he had used and mandated that shotgun owners register the weapons with police
The 1996 school shooting in a small Scottish town, where a local man killed 15 students and one teacher, prompted more sweeping changes. A government inquiry recommended restricting access to handguns.
The Conservative government went even further, banning all but the smallest-caliber handguns, which a subsequent Labour government banned the next year.
The reforms also require owners of permitted firearms to pass a strict licensure process, which involves interviews and home visits by local police, who can deny approval if they deem the would-be owner a potential public safety risk.
Mass shootings did not completely disappear in Britain: An attacker killed 12 in 2010, and another killed five in 2021. But all forms of gun-related violence have dropped significantly.
Today, there are about five guns per 100 people in Britain (except in Northern Ireland, where this number is higher), one of the lowest rates in the developed world. The gun homicide rate is about 0.7 per million, also one of the lowest.
Australia: Nationwide Buybacks
American gun control activists often cite Australia’s sweeping buybacks. Though no country rivals the United States’ gun ownership rate, which is more than double that of second-place Yemen, Australia has had similar cultural and political affinities for gun ownership.
Despite this, after a mass shooting in 1996 in which a gunman killed 35 people in the town of Port Arthur, authorities successfully imposed sweeping new restrictions.
The nationwide buyback ultimately took between one in five and one in three privately held guns out of circulation. This mostly targeted guns like semiautomatic rifles and many shotguns that, under new laws, were no longer permitted.
The country also reframed gun ownership from being an inherent right, as it is in only a handful of countries like the United States, to becoming a privilege that citizens had to affirmatively earn.
Australia’s would-be gun owners now face a national registry, a 28-day wait period and a licensing process that requires demonstrating a valid reason for owning a gun.
Since then, mass shootings have effectively disappeared in Australia. What was once an almost annual event has only happened once since the reforms, with a 2018 attack that left seven dead.
But the greater impact may have been on other forms of violence. A 2011 survey of crime and suicide data concluded that the program “seems to have been incredibly successful in terms of lives saved.”
Australia’s gun-related homicide rate subsequently halved, as did the rate of firearm suicides, the study found. Non-firearm homicides and suicides did not increase. Subsequent research confirmed these findings.
The reforms were initially controversial, including within the ranks of the conservative government that passed them, as well as some rural communities. But fears of electoral backlash or even violent resistance — Australia’s prime minister, John Howard, wore a bulletproof vest during one address — never materialized.
“Few Australians would deny that their country is safer today as a consequence of gun control,” Mr. Howard wrote in 2013 in The New York Times.
Still, Australian gun ownership rates have crept back up in recent years, as have rates of gun-related killings.
Canada and Norway: Gradual Change
Not all reforms have been as dramatic as Britain’s or Australia’s.
Canada tightened restrictions on gun ownership in response to a 1989 mass shooting that killed 14 female college students. Licenses became required for shotguns and rifles, and those firearms had to be registered with authorities. Similar rules already applied to handguns.
But the new rules, which proved controversial in rural communities, were not applied until 1995, six years after the shooting, and were mostly abolished in 2012.
While Canada’s gun rules remain far stricter than those in the United States, they are looser than in most other countries. Its gun ownership rates, gun homicide rates and frequency of mass shootings all follow a similar pattern: a fraction of America’s, but higher than in most other developed countries.
Norway, too, has moved relatively slowly in the wake of a 2011 far-right terrorist attack that killed 77 people.
Though the country has one of Europe’s highest gun ownership rates, it has relatively lower rates of gun-related violence. The country has had strict rules for years, including mandatory gun safety classes and an involved licensing process. But it took seven years after the 2011 massacre to enact a ban on semiautomatic weapons that was inspired by the attack. It went into effect at the end of last year.
New Zealand, which like Norway has traditionally had a high gun ownership rate but tight restrictions, along with low rates of gun violence, moved more quickly.
When a far-right extremist killed 50 mosquegoers in 2019, authorities took less than a week to announce a ban on military-style semiautomatic rifles and high-capacity magazines like those the attacker had used.
But Norway, New Zealand, Canada and Australia are all outliers in one important way: Each began with high rates of gun ownership, relatively few restrictions or both.
In most countries, there are fewer guns or pre-existing gun rights to restrict in the wake of a mass shooting — and, perhaps as a result, there are also far fewer mass shootings in those countries.
Still, such governments often act. In Germany, after a gunman killed 16 people, the government raised the minimum age for carrying what few weapons were permitted to 21 years old, from 18.
When another attack hit Germany seven years later — both were exceedingly rare events in a country with little gun violence — lawmakers set new rules allowing for random police checks on gun owners.
With gun ownership already strictly controlled, there were simply few other measures left to impose

Now if you have laws but let people continually break them and don't punish them for that, those laws are not going to work. That's another thing.
You need someone to enforce the gun regulations - POLICE - and you need adequate punishment, either through torts (lawsuits) or criminal prosecution. If you are going to threaten to abolish police, then of course people are going to want guns.
You know when you are standing in line at an airport, you know to not even joke about bombing or hijacking? That's because of harsh enforcement. It works. Nothing to argue about. You want commercial air flights or don't you?

BTW the Senate IS working on some gun laws for a vote, up or down, get everyone on the record, but first they're giving it the old college try on compromise so they can get something that might actually pass. Here's how it's going so far:
by artappraiser on Fri, 05/27/2022 - 8:55pm
Just FYI, you have said in the past that other countries have guns BUT NONE HAVE ANYWHERE NEAR the astronomical number that the U.S. does now. So much so that it's like comparing apples and oranges, it won't get you anywhere thinking that way:
And that's in 2018! As the associated BBC article from May 25, America's Gun Culture in 7 Charts says
The US ratio of 120.5 firearms per 100 residents, up from 88 per 100 in 2011, far surpasses that of other countries around the world.
More recent data also suggests that gun ownership grew significantly over the last several years. One study, published by the Annals of Internal Medicine in February, found that 7.5 million US adults - just under 3% of the population - became first new gun owners between January 2019 and April 2021.
This, in turn, exposed 11 million people to firearms in their homes, including 5 million children. About half of new gun owners in that time period were women, while 40% were either black or Hispanic.
A separate study, published by the American Academy of Pediatrics in 2021, linked a rise in gun ownership during the pandemic to higher rates of gun injuries among - and inflicted by - children....
in addition
How do US gun killings compare with other countries?
In 2020, 43% of the deaths - amounting to 19,384 people - were homicides, according to data from the CDC. The figure represents a 34% increase from 2019, and a 75% increase over the course of the previous decade.
Nearly 53 people are killed each day by a firearm in the US, according to the data.
The data also shows that the vast majority of murders, 79%, were carried out with guns.
That's a significantly larger proportion of homicides than is the case in Canada, Australia, England and Wales, and many other countries.
Then there's this
Finally, this is interestng as to public mass shootiings in the U.S. The records are spread out over time. Others can use this information in other ways, but I think it shows that getting rid of high powered weapons will not really solve many of our related problems, it will only reduce the rare outlier events. The massive number of handguns is the real problem in this country and has always been, before this epidemic of owning them got worse during "Defund" protests combined with the Covid pandemic (going all the way back to the 19th century, when some sheriffs made people park their handguns at the civilization line)
by artappraiser on Sat, 06/04/2022 - 12:18am
^ p.s. I don't mean to mimimize the issue of mass public shootings by high-powered weapons, just that they are not as related to the overall problem of gun violence. They're more like a bombing, in that they have a terrorism effect, it is more of a psychological effect on the whole population. (Which is also something people in gun-crime-ridden neighborhoods live with 24/7, but is still not reflective of the whole problem because now many more than ever in "good" neighborhood are victims of domestic violence shootings, suicides, road rage type and other rage shootings etc. In the latter people are not afraid, but maybe they should learn to be.)

THE NYPD IS MAKING PROGRESS REVERSING THE DAMAGE OF THE DISASTER THAT WAS 2020 with the godawful Geo. Floyd anti-police protest hysteria taking over the city and country while Covid wreaked devastation of normal society. IT'S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE! YOU OUTLAW GUNS EXCEPT FOR THE LICENSED AND YOU HAVE A TOUGH POLICE & PROSECUTOR COMBO. Not to mention you return bail laws to the way they were before.( And secondarily, you don't have an administration in DC fucking with rule of law ten ways to Sunday while lefty idiots are agitating.)
IT'S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE, YOU ARE OVERTHINKING THIS and pulling the rest of us in to doing the same. I should have seen that sooner, my bad.
NEW YORK CITY HAD A MIRACULOUS ASTRONOMICAL FALLING CRIME RATE for more than 2 DECADES, peace and prosperity increasing greatly during Mayor Bloomberg's time in office! It can be done again, just watch.
I am sure plenty of teens uptown were on SSRI's during that time, it's the demographic that resulted in the book "Prozac Nation" after all. The crack cocaine epidemic in the 80's did us in, but the SSRI and anti-depressant one did not, as a matter of fact, it may have contributed to the peace, certainly there is a correlation!
Much less no violent crime, we didn't have to lock our doors to our cars and homes. SERIOUSLY, REALLY. I dare say people might have tried not using bicycle locks either because more than once in my addled state circa 2014 to 2016 I left my purse in my yard overnight near the sidewalk and it was still there in the morning. One time I even left my car running all night near the sidewalk and it was still there as well! Not kidding, lucky it was cool out or it would have overheated and died (Compare the mid 1980's when my entire dashboard, not just radio was stolen while parked outside the Bronx zoo)
NO ONE, I REPEAT NO ONE was afraid to use our subways in the late 20th century and 21st century before Covid and the Defund protests. Now everyone in this city is!
Really stop overthinking this. It was abundantly clear to me what happened in NYC since I moved here in 1983 and why, just as it was abundantly clear how the utterly safe and civilized Milwaukee I left quickly descended in the opposite direction into a hellhole during the same time period.
by artappraiser on Sat, 06/04/2022 - 1:36am
p.s. the reason for the difference since 2020 is KNOWN, it's right at the top of the crime news thread I post on every day! a pandemic + protests against police caused
this record event
In 2021, Americans bought 19.9 million guns; in 2020, they bought 22.8 million.
together with this one
a total of 73 officers intentionally killed by perpetrators last year. This number represents a 59% increase from 2020. The total is the highest since 2001, a year that included the police officers killed in the September 11 terrorist attacks in which 72 officers were killed in a single day. Excluding 2001, 2021 saw the most intentional killings of police officers in the U.S. since 1995, when 74 officers were murdered
We are back to 1995 but with a lot more guns, a lot lot more, and a lot more lack of respect for rule of law and police.Throw in a ton more felons on the street with no compunction about repeat offending or worse, for two reasons: 1) stupid pandering by prosecutors and courts in liberal blue districts to the "abolish" crew on bail and sentencing, and 2) early release from prisons and jails, lack of strict bail, and lack of normal working courts, prosecutors and parole officer, due to the covid pandemic lockdowns.
It really makes no sense to talk about SSRI's or screwed up men within the context of two years, 2020 through 2022!!! You're ignoring elephants in the room to verify beliefs you have that have no bearing on the matter of the rapid rise in the violent crime rate since 2020! We still had an overall low crime rate before that!!! (You can even find it on dagblog, rmrd arguing that there's only been a "small uptick" in homicide in mid-2020 and that it means nothing, meantime police have all of a sudden turned into brutal monsters just look at all the stories in the media, yadda yadda... Biden was one of the brave few to step up and say we need more police, not less)

If you made parents or co-signers criminally and financially liable for firearms, this would happen less often. Firearms are not a toy that you get for your autistic, lonely or depressed troubled kid to keep him busy. They are more dangerous than a car.
It's beyond me why more people see the equivalence with cars! As soon as cars started to become popular, people just accepted there would be rules of the road, and then required insurance, etc. No one complains that driving is a privilege with licensing and responsibilities, not a right you are born with.That's because everyone wants driving to work, they see following rules is to their benefit...(it's only when rules veer into personal risk taking that they complain, i.e. wearing seat belts or helmets with motorcycles. No one complains that there are Stop signs.)

Ken White, being a lawyer, thinks like this immediately (they never forget what they learned in Torts class even if they go into something else):
Getting into the politics of the parent or guardian is beside the point, a diversion. In this case he happens to be a Trumpian conservative nut who ran for mayor. So what? If he were a liberal, he should still be responsible. It really shouldn't be mixed with politics at all.

Everyday Violence - We look at where most of America’s gun violence happens.
By German Lopez and Ashley WuJuly 8, 2022Updated 8:42 a.m. ET
You're reading the The Morning newsletter. Make sense of the day’s news and ideas. David Leonhardt and Times journalists guide you through what’s happening — and why it matters. Get it sent to your inbox.
Since a gunman killed seven people at a Chicago suburb’s July 4 parade, more than 160 people have died from other gun homicides across the country. In Chicago alone, at least 10 people were killed in multiple shootings during the holiday weekend.
These everyday killings received far less attention than the mass murder at the parade. But they are the standard for American gun violence: More than 95 percent of gun homicides this year have been shootings with one to three victims.
Today, we want to help you understand where and why most everyday gun violence happens. We’re going to focus on Chicago, because it has one of the country’s highest murder rates and because a local group — the University of Chicago Crime Lab — keeps detailed data. But the trends in Chicago are also present in many other places.
One crucial point is that violence tends to be highly concentrated: A small sliver of blocks — just 4 percent in Chicago, for example — can account for a majority of shootings in a city or a county.
Many of the people in these blocks live in terror. The sound of gunshots is common, sometimes coming multiple times a day. Parents worry that their kids could be next, and young people fear for their own lives. As Jomarria Vaughn, a 24-year-old Chicagoan, told this newsletter: “I’m scared. I have my guard up all day.”
This map of shootings in Chicago shows the concentration. Shootings are rare in much of the city, particularly on the wealthier North Side, but not on the poorer West and South Sides.(go to link to see complete version)
This concentration is not exclusive to Chicago. Across the U.S., neighborhoods that contained just 1.5 percent of the population accounted for 26 percent of gun homicides, a 2017 analysis by The Guardian found. (Again, go to link to see complete version)Poverty and violence
There are several factors behind the concentration of violence. A major one is poverty.
In Chicago, violence and poverty closely overlap, as these maps demonstrate: (Again, go to link to see complete version)
Experts have long debated why violence and poverty are linked. Is it something specific to poverty, such as insufficient housing or jobs? Is it the environment that poverty fosters, in which people are stressed and desperate — and more likely to act out?
One theory, cited by Sharkey, blames the breakdown of “collective efficacy.” That might sound academic, but the concept is straightforward: When society’s institutions have unraveled, people feel that they are on their own. They are then less likely to watch over one another or come together to address common interests.
By reducing social trust, concentrated poverty hurts communities’ ability to enforce norms against violent behavior. And when people are left unchecked and feel they have nothing to lose, they are more likely to take extreme measures, such as violence, to solve their problems.
The past few years may help you understand this dynamic even if you’re not poor. Many Americans felt a hit to their own collective efficacy because of the Covid pandemic, George Floyd’s murder and its aftermath, and the polarized political atmosphere. Sure enough, murders and other violent crimes increased during this period.
A spiral downward
It is difficult to talk about gun violence without talking about race, because Black Americans are most likely to be the victims of shootings. Poverty explains part of the disparity, since Black people are more likely to be poor. But individual poverty is not the full explanation.
Black Americans are also less likely to live in communities with strong institutional support. Exclusionary housing policies and discrimination have pushed Black Americans into segregated neighborhoods. Both governments and the private sector then neglected these neighborhoods, leaving people without good schools, banks, grocery stores and institutions.
This kind of economic neglect, which experts refer to as disinvestment, fosters violence. These maps show the correlation in Chicago between shootings and a lack of banks: (Again, go to link to see complete version)
The relationship also goes the other way, Roseanna Ander, executive director of the Crime Lab, told us: Violence can perpetuate disinvestment. Business owners do not want their shops, restaurants and warehouses in violent neighborhoods. People do not want to live in places where gunshots are fired daily. And governments shift resources away from places that officials deem lost causes. It is a vicious cycle.
A greater understanding of this spiral in recent years has driven activists and policymakers to address not just violence itself but its root causes, too. The Chicago mayor’s office told us it had adopted a broader approach to combating violence, focused on boosting businesses, local clubs, mental health care and other social supports, on top of traditional policing work. As this newsletter has explained before, most experts support an all-of-the-above strategy to crime, involving both the police and alternative approaches.
But this work is difficult and, even if it succeeds, takes money and time — years or decades to rebuild long-neglected communities. Until then, the people in these neighborhoods will likely suffer the worst of American gun violence.

Guns around the world: A group of people opened fire at a bar in South Africa, killing 15

"As a nation, we cannot allow violent criminals to terrorize us in this way, regardless of where such incidents may occur," Ramaphosa said in a statement.
"As government, citizens and structures of civil society we must all work together even more closely to improve social and economic conditions in communities, reduce violent crime and stamp out the illicit circulation of firearms," he said.

Do consider the role of parents, it's not the only thing but it is definitely a thing if basically you've only been taught that violence is how you get what you want.
The kid still needs diapers and he tries to get his way by hitting the cop! Much less being taught to be wary of strangers, he's attacking!
There is a reason middle-class "Black twitter" uses #ghetto as a derogative.

Billed as a story of four friends, Uunchai went into production last October in Nepal. In April this year, Anupam Kher announced the wrap of the movie. He wrote, “It’s a WRAP. THANK YOU #SoorajBarjatya for your love, warmth, brilliance and compassion during the shooting of #Uunchai! This little jump action we all did was Soorajji’s signature step when we did a good shot. “We all did it for him as a tribute to his noble and humble royal direction during #Uunchai. This little skip is our little way of saying we love you.”

JJ Watt helps fan pay for grandfather’s funeral
PHOENIX (KETK) – JJ Watt is helping pay for a fan’s grandfather’s funeral.
Jennifer Simpson tweeted on Wednesday that she was going to sell some of her JJ Watt merchandise to help pay for her grandfather’s funeral.
The Arizona Cardinals football superstar replied to her on social media, and he was willing to offer her support during this difficult time.
“Don’t sell your shoes and jersey, we’ll help with the funeral. I’m sorry for your loss,” said Watt.
Simpson is a 26-year-old teacher. She mentioned in her Twitter biography that she likes the Texans and Astros. Simpson also said her grandfather died in July and she had tried to sell baked desserts to raise funds.
On Thursday, Simpson took to twitter to thank the public for their help after Watt reached out to her.
“I posted last night trying to sell valuable items to raise money. I woke up overwhelmed by the love and support of people who don’t even know my grandpa’s story. My family is so grateful for you all,” she said.
Watt is known for giving back. He offered to pay for the funerals for the six people who were killed in the Waukesha Christmas parade after an SUV crashed into a crowd in his hometown. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2676039422495/jj-watt-helps-fan-pay-for-grandfather-s-funeral | 2022-07-25T07:19:56Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2676039422495/jj-watt-helps-fan-pay-for-grandfather-s-funeral | false | 2 |
- Strong operational performance during the first half of the year. The business continues to perform well boosted by the growth in Core Net Sales (+5.1% year-on-year) from key products of the Medical Dermatology portfolio
- The EU Dermatology portfolio continues to lead the growth of Almirall's business. Ilumetri® maintained an excellent sales momentum driven by new country launches, and Klisyri® and Wynzora® are gaining good traction in Europe
- Total EBITDA reached €107.6MM year-to-date (-21.2%), though the comparison to 2021 is impacted by product divestments in the previous year and the finalization of deferred income from AstraZeneca
- SG&A reached €210.1MM (+9.0%) driven by the support of recent launches and R&D was at €44.9MM, increasing as expected and reaching 10.3% of Core Net Sales
- Almirall and its partner Eli Lilly announced positive data from Phase III 52-week topline results of lebrikizumab (atopic dermatitis). These encouraging results reinforce Almirall's confidence that the product has the potential to be a first-line biologic and may support less frequent dosing
- Based on the solid performance of the business in H1, Almirall is reiterating its 2022 guidance
BARCELONA, Spain, July 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Almirall, S.A. (ALM), the global biopharmaceutical company based in Barcelona, today announced its H1 2022 financial results.
Summary of results
- Core Net Sales* reached €436.6 MM, a +5.1% year-on-year increase, and Core EBITDA* reached €98.3 MM, a -21.7% year-on-year decrease, tracking in line with guidance due to a strong EU Dermatology performance and positive contribution from growth drivers.
- Core Gross Margin* of 67.7% in line with expectations for the year.
- Total EBITDA was at €107.6 MM, a -21.2% year-on-year decrease, though the comparison to 2021 is impacted by product divestments in the previous year and the finalization of historical deferred income.
- R&D expenses of €44.9 MM increased as expected reaching 10.3% of Core Net Sales. R&D investment will continue to rise in line with Almirall's expectations due to the Phase IIIb studies for lebrikizumab, the Klisyri® large field studies, as well as increased spending on earlier stage assets such as the anti IL1-RAP.
- SG&A (Selling, General and Administrative) expenses were €210.1 MM, 9% higher than last year as Almirall continued to add investment towards the successful execution of recent product launches such as Wynzora®, Klisyri® in the US and EU, and Ilumetri® rollout in key countries.
- Almirall finished the first semester with a very healthy balance sheet with a leverage of 0.9 x Net Debt to EBITDA and an optimal cash position, generating €56 MM of operating cash flow during H1, which gives the company flexibility to continue to explore inorganic growth opportunities.
* Core results excludes AstraZeneca contribution: Deferred Income and Other Income. From 2022 onwards, there is no difference between Core Net Sales and Net Sales as no additional Deferred Income from AstraZeneca is registered, the difference related to Core EBITDA and EBITDA is explained by the other income related to AstraZeneca.

Arsenal given date for potential Cody Gakpo transfer after 'rekindling interest' in winger
ARSENAL may have to play the waiting game to sign Cody Gakpo this summer.
Arteta welcomes Zinchenko to Arsenal after Man City move
Arsenal have reportedly rekindled their interest in PSV Eindhoven forward Cody Gakpo. However, PSV would prefer a deal to happen later in the transfer window following their Champions League qualifier against Monaco and potential play-off match.
Gakpo was linked with Arsenal earlier this year. However, the Gunners turned their attention to Leeds winger Raphinha.
However, Raphinha has got his dream move to Barcelona and now interest in Gakpo has reemerged. Dutch outlet VI says there is a chance Arsenal will sign the 23-year-old in this window.
The Gunners are very interested in the player, who has two goals in his seven caps for Holland. VI claims PSV hope to keep Gakpo beyond this window but if he were to leave, they want him to help them qualify for the Champions League first.
Transfer news LIVE: De Jong reality check, Chelsea reeling, Everton may axe Dele
PSV travel to Monaco next Tuesday for the first leg of their Champions League third qualifying round tie before the return match a week later on August 9. If PSV were to lose the tie, that could then allow Arsenal to push through with a move for Gakpo.
However, if they were victorious, then PSV would have a play-off to contend with. The second leg of the play-off will be on either August 23 or 24, meaning a deal for Gakpo could be one Arsenal pursue late in the window.
Gakpo came through the academy at PSV and has scored 42 goals in 134 appearances for the club. He has just enjoyed his best campaign in front of goal, netting 21 times in 47 outings in all competitions.
Arsenal have already spent over £115million on new signings this summer. Oleksandr Zinchenko is the latest player through the door having joined for £32m from Manchester City last Friday.

But the Gunners are still in the market for further additions to the squad. Mikel Arteta's side beat Chelsea 4-0 at the weekend in their final friendly of the tour to the USA.
Arteta says the performance does not affect his plans for the rest of the window. The Spaniard said: "Nothing. Again, don’t get carried away.
"There were a lot of positives, there are a lot of things we can do much, much better than we have done today as well and we have to continue to improve as a team." Arsenal's final pre-season match is this Saturday when they host Sevilla in the Emirates Cup. | https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1645368/Arsenal-transfer-news-Cody-Gakpo-PSV-rumours | 2022-07-25T07:54:13Z | https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1645368/Arsenal-transfer-news-Cody-Gakpo-PSV-rumours | true | 1 |

MILWAUKEE (AP)Brandon Woodruff pitched six strong innings, Hunter Renfroe hit a three-run homer and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Colorado Rockies 9-4 on Saturday night.
Woodruff (8-3) improved to 3-0 with a 2.20 ERA in five starts since coming off the injured list June 27. He had a right ankle sprain and Raynaud’s Syndrome, which affected his pitching fingers.
”Honestly, getting the breaking stuff over early in the count was also big,” Woodruff said. ”They’re tough to strike out.”
The right-hander allowed a run on six hits, struck out eight and walked one to help the Brewers extend their winning streak against the Rockies to a franchise-best seven games.
Colorado has not won in Milwaukee since an 11-6 victory on May 2, 2019.
Renfroe and the Brewers finally got to Rockies starter and former teammate Jose Urena (1-2) in the fourth. Andrew McCutchen walked and Kolten Wong singled before Renfroe crushed a 98 mph sinker 424 feet to left-center.
”The pitch he threw me was a good pitch,” Renfroe said. ”He had good stuff tonight.”
The Rockies had just turned a crisp double play, but a walk and a base hit set the table for Renfroe’s 15th home run of the season.
”He walked McCutchen with two outs after a double play. Ill-advised,” Rockies manager Bud Black said. ”Then a base hit by Wong and the three-run homer on a decent pitch. It was a pitcher’s pitch. Renfroe’s got power, golfed it out of the ballpark. Strong guy.”
Renfroe also hit a two-run homer in the 10th inning Friday night that tied the game at 5.
”I’m seeing the ball real well right now,” he said. ”That’s a big part of it.”
Woodruff liked the power display Renfroe is putting on.
”He’s always had that type of power,” Woodruff said. ”It’s awesome to see him hit those balls so far.”
Milwaukee broke it open with five runs in the sixth.
Wong chased Urena with an RBI single. Renfroe greeted Jhoulys Chacin with a slow roller to third that went for an infield single to load the bases. Victor Caratini smacked a two-run double, and Renfroe scored on a wild pitch. Christain Yelich added a run-scoring single.
”Just couldn’t string enough pitches together through the sixth inning when he tried to pick up Jose,” Black said of Chacin’s tough outing.
Tyrone Taylor tacked on an RBI single for Milwaukee in the eighth.
Urena struck out a season-high five, including Yelich three times, but came up short in his bid for consecutive wins in his third start for the Rockies. He allowed five hits over six innings and beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 2-0 in his previous outing on July 16.
Urena was designated for assignment by the Brewers on May 9 after four relief appearances. The Rockies signed him to a minor league deal May 16 and then selected his contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on July 6.
C.J. Cron led off the Colorado ninth with his team-leading 22nd home run, off Connor Sadzeck. Yonathan Daza hit his first home run of the season, a two-run shot.
Brendan Rodgers had an RBI single for the Rockies in the first.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Rockies: RHP Antonio Senzatela was nailed by Yelich’s line drive in the first inning Friday. Senzatela recovered and threw to first base for the out. After an injury delay, he stayed in the game. ”He’s got a big bruise,” Black said. ”You don’t see a bruise on your stomach a lot, but he has one. He’s going to be fine. He’s going to make his next start Wednesday.”
Brewers: INF/OF Jace Peterson was placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to July 20, with a left elbow strain. . RHP Justin Topa (right forearm) was sent to the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on a rehab assignment.
DAZA’S FIRST HOME RUN
Daza went 349 at-bats without a home run, the fourth-longest active streak in the majors and second-longest in the NL.
”I didn’t try to hit a homer,” he said. ”I don’t know how that happened, but I’m happy.”

Best VTech toys you can buy online
VTech is one of the leading manufacturers of electronic learning toys, many of which have won prestigious awards from Good Housekeeping, Toy Insider and Amazon. Geared toward little learners from birth through age 9, VTech toys foster curiosity and teach foundational educational concepts.
There are countless VTech toys available, ranging from activity desks to ride-on toys to kid-friendly cameras. If you’re ready to add one to your child’s toy collection, begin by considering age range, interactive features and educational value.
What to know about VTech toys
About VTech
VTech designs interactive learning toys with a high focus on age appropriateness and stage-based learning. The toy manufacturer says it is committed to manufacturing safe, high-quality toys that comply with the highest U.S. and European safety standards. VTech’s toys undergo rigorous testing and analysis from their in-house Expert Panel, an esteemed group of educators who provide insight and current information for product development.
Age range
VTech makes toys for kids from birth through age 9; however, most of their toys are geared toward infants, toddlers and preschoolers. Every VTech toy box lists the recommended age range and details the educational or developmental concepts it teaches. The VTech Pull and Sing Puppy, for example, is designed for 6-36 months and teaches sounds, music, colors and numbers.
Batteries
Almost all VTech toys require AA or AAA batteries, but unfortunately, most packages don’t come with them. If they do, they’re cheap, limited-life batteries that will require replacement soon.
Because interactive features like music and flashing lights drain batteries quickly, especially with frequent play, many people invest in rechargeable batteries. While they cost more up front, they may save hundreds of dollars in the long run. Rechargeable batteries are also eco-friendly.

There are dozens of VTech toys on the market, and these categories below include the toy makers’ best-selling categories.
- Many VTech toys are designed after grown-up electronics, including smartwatches, cameras and tablets.
- Ride-on toys, most of which are geared toward infants and toddlers, have true-to-life lights and sounds.
- Activity tables offer a broad range of interactive educational games, challenges and activities and music.
- Licensed VTech toys feature characters from popular kids’ shows and movies, including “Paw Patrol,” “Peppa Pig” and “Doc McStuffins.”
- Interactive books bring stories to life with voices, sounds, music and read-along exercises.
How much do VTech toys cost?
Smaller VTech toys with limited features cost $15 and below. Those that offer more in-depth interactive play with more buttons, lights and sounds cost $20-$40. VTech playsets and toys with advanced interactive features may run as high as $50 and above.

Manly officials will hold an emergency meeting on Monday night with up to seven of their players following threats of a boycott over the club’s gay pride jersey.
The Sea Eagles on Monday proudly unveiled their rainbow themed jersey to celebrate diversity and inclusivity, with Kieran Foran, Reuben Garrick and Sean Keppie modelling the jumper.
It has had the opposite effect on more than half a dozen players, who don’t agree with the messaging and are considering pulling out of this Thursday night’s home game against the Roosters.
The players, most of whom are from Polynesian backgrounds, do not want to wear the jersey on cultural and religious grounds.
The Herald has been told the Sea Eagles did not consult the players. The club has called a meeting on Monday night with the players to address the issue before the massive clash against the Roosters.
The Roosters and Sea Eagles are locked in a battle for eighth spot with both teams on 20 competition points.
It’s not the first time an athlete has taken exception to wearing an inclusive jersey for a professional sporting team, with Giants AFLW player Haneen Zreika standing down from a game on religious grounds.

Moto X30 Pro smartphone is all set to be launched alongside the Moto Razr 2022 at an event on August 2 in China. The Moto X30 Pro will be arriving as the world's first handset to flaunt a 200MP primary snapper. The Moto Razr 2022 will be the brand's latest take on foldable devices.
Just days ahead of the launch, the company has officially confirmed the fast charging functionality of the Moto X30 Pro. So, let's have a look at what we are expecting from the upcoming Moto X series offering.
Moto X30 Pro Fast Charging Capability Officially Confirmed
According to Motorola's head company Lenovo's General Manager for the mobile division Chen Jin, the Moto X30 Pro will be offering 125W fast charging. It will be the highest fast charging capability found on a Moto handset. Chen has also posted a photo of the 125W fast charger on the social networking website Weibo. The device could also offer support for wireless fast charging.
For the uninitiated, the Moto X30 variant offers 68W fast charging support, so a jump to 125W charging on the new model will be a significant upgrade.
Moto X30 Pro Specifications, Features
As per the reports, the Moto X30 Pro will be offering a 6.73-inch pOLED display with full HD+ resolution and a massive screen refresh rate of 144Hz. The device will be powered by the octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, which will be paired with up to 12GB of RAM and up to 256GB of native storage.
The Moto X30 Pro will be featuring an under-display fingerprint scanner and will be booting Android 12 out-of-the-box. For imaging, the 200MP main sensor on the smartphone will be paired with a 50MP ultra-wide angle lens and a 12MP telephoto snapper. For selfies, the device is said to be equipped with a 60MP shooter. The handset could have a punch-hole design at the center and curved edges.
The Motorola Moto X30 Pro is expected to be globally launched as the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra. The company already sells the Moto Edge series of devices in India, so we can expect the upcoming Moto X30 Pro to launch in the Indian market once it launches on August 2.
Moto X30 Pro To Be Moto's Ultimate Flagship?
The Motorola Moto X30 Pro appears to be Moto's ultimate flagship smartphone. It will be the world's first phone to feature a massive 200MP primary camera. No other handset has offered such a massive camera lens, of which, we have already seen quality prowess from the recent images shared by Chen. The Moto X30 Pro will also be one of the first smartphones in the world to be powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC. | https://www.gizbot.com/amphtml/mobile/news/moto-x30-pro-to-offer-125w-charging-moto-s-ultimate-flagship-incoming-081853.html | 2022-07-25T08:17:12Z | https://www.gizbot.com/amphtml/mobile/news/moto-x30-pro-to-offer-125w-charging-moto-s-ultimate-flagship-incoming-081853.html | false | 1 |
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. (AP) — David Ortiz promised to speak from the heart. As usual, Big Papi delivered.
His megawatt smile tinged with a tad of emotion, the former Boston Red Sox slugger was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame on Sunday — after his daughter Alexandra sang the national anthiem — and was humbled by his surroundings.
“I want to thank God for giving me the opportunity to be here today and for giving me the joy of being able to travel this path, this path that has allowed me to be here today and hopefully inspire everyone to believe in yourself,” Ortiz said.
Ortiz was greeted by a raucous crowd chanting “Papi! Papi!” as many fans made the four-hour drive from the vicinity of Fenway Park to attend the festivities.
When he took the stage, Ortiz pointed skyward as is his wont in special moments, a way of honoring his late mother, who died two decades ago after a car accident.
“I always tried to live my life in a way … so I can make a positive influence in the world,” said the 46-year-old Ortiz, just the 58th player elected in his first year on the ballot. “And if my story can remind you of anything, let it remind you that when you believe in someone you can change the world, you can change their future, just like so many people believed in me.”
Ortiz, who survived a nightclub shooting in the Dominican Republic three years ago, soaked in the celebration.
Legions of fans crowded onto the field adjacent to Clark Sports Center, sun umbrellas and Dominican Republic flags sprinkled all around. Ortiz’s No. 34 was seemingly everywhere as fans chanted and sang in Spanish. A sign that read ‘I Love U’ summed up the admiration for Big Papi on his special day.
Six Era Committee selections also comprised in the Class of 2022 — former Twins teammates Jim Kaat and Tony Oliva, the late Minnie Miñoso, former Dodgers star and Mets manager Gil Hodges, and Black pioneers Buck O’Neil and Bud Fowler.
I n 14 years with the Red Sox, Ortiz hit 500 homers — 17 of them in the postseason.
If there was a blemish, there was a report by The New York Times that said he tested positive during the 2003 survey drug test conducted by MLB and the players’ association. Ortiz was never penalized for performance-enhancing drugs, and MLB and the union never confirmed there was a positive test. The sides said the survey test results never were vetted to the point of the testing with penalties that started in 2004.
That was far from the mind on this day as Ortiz paid tribute to many in both English and Spanish.
“It’s an honor to be on this stage,” Ortiz said. “I can ask for no more.”
The 83-year-old Kaat, now a broadcaster for the Twins, pitched for a quarter of a century, winning a World Series a year before retiring in 1983. He thanked his dad for instilling the discipline needed to succeed, his wife for always being there, and his former minor league manager, 94-year-old Jack McKeon, who was in the audience.
“I am humbled and honored to be included in this fraternity, some of the greatest players to play the game, and I thank you for being part of this wonderful day,” said Kaat, a native of Zeeland, Michigan.
Oliva was the American League Rookie of the Year in 1964, led the league in hits five times, and became the first player in major league history to win batting titles in each of his first two seasons, finishing with a lifetime average of .304 in 15 seasons with the Twins.
Oliva got his chance in part because of Miñoso, the Cuban Comet.
“I’ve been so blessed, so lucky,” said Oliva, who turned 84 four days ago. “I appreciate it very much. I’d like to say thank you to all those friends, all those wonderful friends, all those friends from all over the world. I appreciated it very much, very much.”
Miñoso grew up on a sugar plantation and played ball on weekends as a kid and became a star with the New York Cubans in the Negro Leagues before becoming the first Black Latino player in the major leagues in 1949, two years after Jackie Robinson broke in. To Cuban players, Miñoso was the Jackie Robinson of Latino America and starred for the White Sox in the 1950s. He was a nine-time All-Star and finished his career with 2,110 hits and a .299 batting average. He died in 2015.
“From a humble ranch in Cuba to the National Baseball Hall of Fame, what a way to honor such a remarkable life lived and to service in the sport he loved. He would have been so very proud to be a Hall of Famer,” said his wife, Sharon.
Irene Hodges spoke on behalf of her father, a hard-hitting first baseman who had 370 homers and 1,274 RBIs in 18 major league seasons — all but the last two with the Dodgers. He retired in 1963 and five years later was hired to manage the Mets, leading them in 1969 to their improbable World Series victory over the Baltimore Orioles before dying of a heart attack three years later at 47.
“He would be so proud. Today I am especially happy for my mother,” Irene Hodges said. “When the call came from the Hall of Fame … I began sobbing probably as much as I did when I lost my father. I was so beyond happy for him, and even thrilled that my mom at 95 would be able hear this news. My mom is watching today from our home in Brooklyn.”
O’Neil, who played for the Kansas City Monarchs in the Negro Leagues and was a tireless advocate for the game until his death in 2006, was represented by a niece, Dr. Angela Terry.
“He would remind all of us that his playing careeer was in the Negro Leagues and today he was being inducted into the same class as a Black baseball pioneer, Bud Fowler, and a former Negro League All-Star, Minnie Miñoso,” Terry said. “Man, oh man. Nothing could be better. Thank you for loving our uncle.”
Hall of Famer Dave Winfield paid tribute to Fowler, the first Black to play on a white professional team nearly seven decades before Robinson broke the color barrier with the Dodgers. Fowler also is the first person from the Cooperstown area to receive the honor. He was born in nearby Fort Plain but grew up in Cooperstown, where he learned to play the game.
A second baseman who batted just over .300 in 13 seasons, Fowler was signed at age 20 by a all-white professional team in Massachusetts in 1878. It was the start of a 13-year career that saw him play for 18 teams, including four in one year, the constant moves a direct reflection of the racism he had to endure.
“I ask that you remember Bud Fowler in a broad context,” Winfield said. “Remember him as a skilled athlete who endured obstacles that are hard to imagine today. I personally hope that all of you will see him as a man who loved the game of baseball from its beginning.”

Sanju Samson on Sunday evening gave his supporters a lot to cheer by cracking a fine half century (54) in India's chase of 312 in the second ODI against the West Indies at Port of Spain. Axar Patel ( 64 no) and Shreyas Iyer (63) were the top scorers.
Samson joined Iyer when the score read a troubling 79 for 3. Their partnership of 99 runs in 94 balls helped India take the chase deep. Samson went on to score his first ODI fifty in only his third match, before he was run out.
In his 54 runs of 51 balls, Samson mixed caution with aggression and showed flashes of the elegant power-hitting which earned him so many fans across the country. His innings had three sixes and three fours.
An amazing display of class from @IamSanjuSamson! He showed poise throughout these incredible plays.Watch the Ind… https://t.co/nPEE6rnqSJ

The 27-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman was first picked for the Indian squad in 2014, after he showcased his hitting prowess in the IPL and List A matches. He has so far played only 3 ODIs and 14 T20Is - not a lot of chances for someone who has been rated highly. But then, Samson too did not make the best use of the openings that came his way.
First half century in ODI’s for Sanju Samson. So many of his fans hope it’s the first of many👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻.

Among those who cheered his first fifty was the Rajasthan Royals team, which Samson recently led to its second ever IPL final.

Will the Virginia housing market crash in 2022? While we’re seeing supply, demand, and price trends like never before, a well-rounded understanding of what’s going on behind them is crucial for investors.
The 2022 housing market has been another wild ride for buyers and sellers in Hampton Roads and across the country thanks to rising mortgage interest rates, rock-bottom inventory, and still-rising home prices. The astounding midyear statistics can be a little baffling in this unique real estate atmosphere, so our experts are breaking it down for you.
What’s Happening to the Hampton Roads Housing Market in 2022?
If you take a brief glance at the Hampton Roads housing market during the first half of 2022 compared to the first half of 2021, the overall state of the market may look like we are headed for a crash. But what’s going on behind the scenes tells a different story:
- Less homes have sold: As predicted, a sharp rise in mortgage interest rates over the past 6 months has caused demand to soften. In fact, the total number of homes sold over the first half of 2022 fell 8.00% compared to 2021.
- Less homes have been listed: New inventory continues to be scarce, just as we saw in the first quarter of the year. Year over year, we saw a 9.27% decrease in homes listed in the first half of this year compared to last. Increased interest rates have also made home sellers - who also tend to be subsequent buyers - less incentivized to move.
- Absorption rates are the same: The two above factors have meant that consumption has stayed the same in the Hampton Roads market, even though the actual numbers look significantly different in 2022 when compared to 2021. The absorption rates in June 2021 and June 2022 were both 1.3 months.
- Prices continue to rise: Because of all this, we’ve been missing the impetus needed to shift the housing price trend. The first two quarters of 2022 have shown a combined 9.56% increase in median sales price year-over-year.
Are Housing Prices Going to Drop in 2022?
Home prices were still hitting record highs in early 2022 in Virginia and beyond. Since January, the Hampton Roads real estate market has seen an additional increase of almost 10% on the median sales prices of properties, and there’s no sign that it will slow down soon.
Pending sales were down in June by over 15% compared to last year, indicating that demand is truly beginning to lessen in Hampton Roads this summer. Unfortunately, that doesn’t necessarily mean that prices are going to drop simultaneously. Less competition for properties simply gives buyers more leverage when negotiating with sellers.
We’re hoping to see homes start to appreciate at a healthier rate before long, but there are a few things that will need to happen in the housing market before we see that return to normal that buyers are anxious for.
When Will Housing Market Prices Drop?
Housing prices continue to rise, and the whole country seems to be waiting anxiously for them to level out. To return to a “normal” and healthy housing market in Virginia Beach and nearby cities, we’ll be looking for:
- Inventory to increase to a 3.5-5 month supply: Inventory in the area is highly dependent on sellers, because there isn’t a lot of room for new builds. As of June 30th, 2022, Hampton Roads only had 1.3 months worth of inventory on the market. It will only increase if listings are added and supply is dampened. For the market to drop, this is key.
- Demand to cool off: Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and surrounding cities are in a unique position with demand. In addition to the regular housing market traffic that other cities experience, military and industry families are constantly moving into the area. This makes calming demand just as tricky as upping the supply.
- Cash buyers to be satiated: The NAR reported that 25% of sales of existing Hampton Roads homes in April 2022 were cash buyers. We’ve seen that those purchasing a property with cash have been flooding into the market over the past few years. Because this group isn’t using loans, rising interest rates don’t affect their demand.
All in all, prices will continue to rise until we reach that healthy balance of supply and demand. Keep an eye out for key factors like homes being on the market for 35 days or more and an absorption rate above 3.5 months.
So What’s the Good News about the 2022 Housing Market for Buyers?
After two years of anything-but-normal, prospective homebuyers in Virginia are desperate for some good news. Myths about buying homes have increased buyers’ anxieties. Here are a few details for those of you who need housing this year:
- Less bidding wars: Properties that are priced well, in great condition, and in popular locations are still receiving multiple offers, but many listings are not experiencing bidding wars anymore.
- Sellers compromising again: Instead of sellers holding all the cards like they have for the past few years, they are now willing to make concessions for a full-price offer. Especially if the home has sat on the market for a few days.
- Cash is king: Buyers who can pay with cash continue to have valuable leverage while we wait for the housing market to go down.
Should I Still Sell My House in 2022?
Sellers can still find a lot of success in the Hampton Roads housing market this year. If you’re working with a broker with a great track record and knack for marketing well, you can find a great buyer and take advantage of the prices while they are still in your favor.
To pull out a winning sale, you’ll need to really think about how you are pricing and presenting your property. A year ago you might have been able to sell your house in a weekend, but to reach the same kind of success now, you’ll need to put in the effort. Here are a few things to try:
- Get a home inspection before listing: No, inspections aren’t just for buyers. By identifying what repairs are most crucial, you’ll be able to list properly and be empowered to put your best foot forward.
- Be careful and accurate when setting a list price: With less competition, buyers are able to do their homework and aren’t buying above appraisal value as they were before. Use a free Home Sale Calculator and work with a real estate representative who can give you a thorough assessment.
- Present the property with care: Show your property in the best condition possible. Get professional listing photos, make those cosmetic updates, and consider putting things in storage for showings.
- Invest in those repairs: If you still want to get the most money from selling your home, assess the repairs recommended by the home inspector, and get to work. We’ve learned that updated kitchens often sell over list price, broken fixtures leave a lasting impression, and there are a few repairs you just definitely should not do yourself.
THE BOTTOM LINE:
In truth, navigating the housing market will be a grind for the rest of the year. The slowing of demand has not been supplemented by an increase in homes for sale, so prices haven’t yet started to stabilize and we don’t see a return to a healthy market this year like everyone’s been waiting for.
As we move forward into the back half of 2022, you’ll want to buy and sell with careful expertise. Just reach out and let us know how we can help you end the year with a win. | https://original.newsbreak.com/@scott-westfall-cgp-real-estate-1594435/2673951834966-2022-housing-predictions-crash-stabilize-or-more-of-the-same-hampton-roads-real-estate | 2022-07-25T08:21:59Z | https://original.newsbreak.com/@scott-westfall-cgp-real-estate-1594435/2673951834966-2022-housing-predictions-crash-stabilize-or-more-of-the-same-hampton-roads-real-estate | true | 1 |
Iron ore soars on hopes for China's rebound in Q3
By Enrico Dela Cruz
July 25 (Reuters) - Iron ore futures soared on Monday, extending a rally spurred by hopes of an economic rebound for top steel producer and consumer China in the third quarter, and support for the country's troubled property sector.
The most-traded iron ore, for September delivery, on China's Dalian Commodity Exchange DCIOcv1 ended daytime trade 7.1% higher at 711 yuan ($105.27) a tonne, after earlier hitting 723.50 yuan, its strongest level since July 14.
Iron ore's front-month August contract on the Singapore Exchange SZZFQ2 was up 2.2% at $105.40 a tonne, as of 0702 GMT, after lodging its first weekly gain in three weeks on Friday.
Dalian coking coal DJMcv1 rose 3.3% and coke DCJcv1 advanced 2.9%.
China will make "great efforts" to consolidate its economic recovery particularly in the crucial third quarter, putting a priority on stabilising employment and prices, state media reported on Friday after a regular cabinet meeting.
"The market is looking forward to the economy (rebounding) in the third quarter," analysts at Zhongzhou Futures said in a note.
China's economic growth slowed sharply in the June quarter, hit hard by COVID-19 lockdowns that dampened overall demand and disrupted activity.
Chinese steel futures also extended their gains following reports that China was planning to set up a real estate fund that could be worth up to 300 billion yuan to support more than a dozen property developers.
Rebar on the Shanghai Futures Exchange SRBcv1 rose 0.8%, hot-rolled coil SHHCcv1 climbed 1.6%, and stainless steel SHSScv1 advanced 1.2%.
But with no meaningful changes in market fundamentals while risks remain from lockdowns, caution is likely to limit any gains.
Shanghai ordered residents across nine of the city's districts and some smaller areas to do COVID-19 tests over July 26-28, as sporadic local cases kept emerging in the commercial hub.

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — A gunman opened fire on university campus in the Philippine capital region on Sunday, killing a former town mayor and two others in a brazen attack ahead of a graduation ceremony, police said.
The suspect was armed with two pistols and a silencer and was captured in a car he commandeered trying to escape the Ateneo de Manila University in suburban Quezon City, police said. He was blocked by witnesses and authorities outside the university gates.
The sprawling university was put under lockdown and the graduation rite at the law school on campus was canceled, police said.
Investigators were trying to determine a motive for the attack, but Quezon City police chief Brig. Gen. Remus Medina said the suspect, apparently a medical doctor, had a long-running feud with Rosita Furigay, a former mayor of Lamitan town in southern Basilan province.
She died in the attack together with her aide and a university guard. Furigay’s daughter, who was supposed to attend the graduation, was wounded and taken to a hospital, a police report said.
Video of the aftermath of the shooting showed students and officials in graduation gowns screaming and running away in panic in the lobby of the school building while others tended to the victims who were sprawled on the ground in the driveway.
Supreme Court Chief Justice Alexander Gesmundo, who was supposed to be a speaker at the ceremony, was advised to turn back en route to the event, officials said.
Newly elected President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. promised to have the attack swiftly investigated and those behind the killings brought to justice. He is scheduled to address a joint session of Congress at the House of Representatives on Monday also in Quezon city, where police and other law enforcers had imposed a gun ban and heightened security before the shooting.
“We are shocked and saddened by the events at the Ateneo graduation today,” Marcos Jr. said. “We mourn with the bereaved, the wounded and those whose scars from this experience will run deep.” | https://ktla.com/news/ap-top-headlines/man-opens-fire-on-philippine-campus-killing-3-people/ | 2022-07-25T08:30:22Z | https://ktla.com/news/ap-top-headlines/man-opens-fire-on-philippine-campus-killing-3-people/ | false | 27 |
Dallas apartment roof collapse leaves 32 residents without homes
DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) — Thirty-one people are displaced after an apartment complex roof collapsed Sunday afternoon.
It happened at the Marquita Court apartment building in the Lower Greenville area.
"It was pretty scary," one resident, Denise Hodges said. "Honestly I mean you don't really think that's going to happen where you live."
Hodges is still in shock as she gathers what she could on her way out of the building.
She's just one of the more than two dozen people without living arrangements after part of the Marquita Courts apartment was damaged.
Dallas Fire said they responded to the call around 3:30 p.m. Sunday. Crews said when they arrived they found the two-story apartment building with part of the roof already collapsed.
A HazMat and Urban search and rescue response had responded and prepared for potential search and rescue efforts. Everyone made it out safely.
There were 12 apartments in the building where the roof collapsed. The building attached by a breezeway was also evacuated out of an abundance of caution.
There were 24 apartments in total, three of them were vacant. They have all been deemeduninhabitable.
Fire crews said they helped residents get their pets and other essentials they could from the building.
Hodges said she was inside her first-floor apartment with her husband and two kids at the time.
"I was kind of just dosing off on the couch, watching a movie with my son and all I know is my husband came inside and he was like, 'You guys need to get your shoes on, we need to go,'" Hodges said.
She said she quickly grabbed her and her kids shoes and her dog and cat and left. Then she waited outside like everyone else.
A Dart bus waited nearby to give everyone a cool place to sit and wait to hear about what's next.
Thankfully no one was hurt. Hodges said she's doing her best to look at what's she's thankful for after losing her apartment.
"I try to be kind of optimistic in kind of tough situations, so I'm trying to keep the mood up," Hodges said.
Hodges said she's only been living at the complex for two or three months.
American Red Cross is assisting those who were displaced. Dallas Fire said the property manager will have to secure the property and have the building assessed to know what to do next.
Fire crews also noted the property manager will have to figure out what will happen with the resident's cars that are currently parked in the building's underground parking area.
For the safety of commuters and people walking by, Matilda, between Marquita and Vanderbilt, has been blocked off until a structural engineer contracted by property management determines whether the building can be repaired or needs to be torn down.

AltynGold PLC said Monday that its application for a $40 million line-of-credit from Bank CenterCredit JSC has been approved, and will be used to expand the capacity of its processing plant.
The London-listed gold miner said the loan is repayable in installments over a six-and-a-half year term and bears 6% interest. It will be used to expand the capacity of the processing plant to one million metric tons a year, in anticipation of an expected increase in production at the Sekisovskoye gold mine, near Oskemen, Kazakhstan.
The signing of the agreement will be carried out after passing the bank's internal procedures.
"Timely execution of this ambitious plan should set the stage for a sustainable dividend policy," Chief Executive Aidar Assaubayev said.
Shares at 0707 GMT were up 5.0 pence, or 5.8% at 91.0 pence.

The number of couples in Taiwan who divorced within five years of getting married reached a 10-year high last year, data released on Friday by the Ministry of the Interior showed.
The data showed that 16,639 couples, or 34.75 percent of the total number of divorced couples, ended their marriage after being married for less than five years.
However, the number of divorced couples in Taiwan overall dropped for the fourth consecutive year to 47,888 last year, the data showed.

Of the divorced couples, 1,507 were same-sex couples, it showed.
Divorces in which both partners were Taiwanese accounted for 86.4 percent, while the rest were cross-national couples, the data showed.
The median number of years couples getting divorced were married was 7.95, it showed.
That was down 0.15 years from 2020 and 1.07 years from 2012.
The number of years married at the time of divorce has steadily declined after peaking at 9.1 years in 2014, the data showed.
Those who got divorced within five years of getting married hit a 10-year high and made up the largest proportion, with 16,639 couples, or 34.75 percent, followed by couples who got divorced within five to 10 years of getting married, with 11,198 couples, or 23.38 percent, the data showed.
The number of couples who get divorced within five years of marriage has risen every year since 2013, when their share of all divorces surpassed 30 percent, the data showed.
The number of divorced couples fluctuated between 2012 and 2017, peaking in 2012 with 55,835 couples, before dropping for four years in a row since 2018.
Ministry data showed that 114,606 couples married last year — a decline of 5.83 percent from 2020.
As of the end of last year, 10.22 million Taiwan residents were married, which translated to a marriage rate of 43.76 percent, while 1,875,561 people were divorced, the data showed.

Pelosi is planning a trip to Asia that is said to include a visit to Taiwan, people familiar with the matter said. It would be the first by a US House of Representative speaker to Taipei since 1997.

EVERY industry or region around the world is embracing rapid technological advancements to gain a competitive edge or to advance economic development. Equally, in an increasingly competitive landscape, companies and entrepreneurs are under pressure to adopt cutting-edge digital technologies, knowing that their decisions could lead to their enterprises either being put out of business or surviving market perils.
For those that survive the grueling competition, they can go on to claim new customers and grow their revenues and profits. Against this backdrop, digital transformation has not only been a game-changer for many businesses, but also a disruptor, creating new opportunities for nimble, tech-savvy companies.
Even before the COVID-19 pandemic struck the world in early 2020, digital transformation was well underway, helping to shape the way businesses and organisations engage with customers.
It has paved the way for a new customer experience, whereby customers can access their favourite brands, finance, healthcare, education, entertainment, information, and a wide range of services and products from anywhere in the world from the palm of their hands or in the comfort of their living rooms. The pandemic has not only accelerated digital transformation and e-commerce but also firmly placed these on turbo-charge, making it easier for people with connected devices to participate in a global digital economy. African women and young entrepreneurs have an opportunity to claim a stake in this thriving global digital economy.
According to a report by Google and International Finance Corporation, IFC, the internet economy has the potential to reach $180 billion by 2025, accounting for 5.2 per cent of the continent’s gross domestic product, GDP.
By 2050, e-commerce is expected to add $712 billion to Africa’s economy, raising the sector contribution to the continent’s GDP to 8.5 percent. This phenomenal growth is expected to be driven by increased access to internet connectivity, rapid urbanisation, a growing youthful population that is tech-savvy, a thriving start-up ecosystem, and the commitment by African governments to create the world’s largest single market of about 1.4 billion people with a combined GDP of over $2 trillion.
However, Africa’s ability to maximise on the benefits stemming from the digital economy is being hampered by low internet connectivity for its citizens. Although the African Union, AU, has set itself an ambitious target of connecting every African to the internet by 2030, only 36 per cent of the continent’s population has access to the internet. The global average in internet penetration is 62.5 per cent.
To extract greater value from the digital economy, African countries will have to implement empowerment strategies that integrate women and young people into the digital economy. The continent has the world’s youngest population, of which more than 50 per cent is female.
These empowerment initiatives will have to involve investment in education and training in digital skills such as coding.
The shortage of software developers is often cited by IT decision-makers as a big hurdle holding back their businesses from digitally transforming. This challenge motivated the development of low-code/no-code tools as part of our citizen developer platform which helps professionals and individuals without software expertise to build apps.
An enabling environment must be created to encourage African tech professionals and entrepreneurs to return home to help grow their home continent. Despite the continent lagging behind the rest of the world in broadband connectivity, investors have shown interest in investing in internet-related infrastructure, particularly fibre networks, spectrum, and data processing.
For Africa to realise its full potential, and level up with other regions it needs to attract massive investment in digital and telecommunications infrastructure.
The World Bank has estimated that if the continent aims to attain universal internet access, it will require $100 billion, the bulk of which will be invested in the rollout of the latest and faster broadband networks.
The rollout of this infrastructure will require Africa to attract project managers, who are highly sought-after in fast-growing developing economies. Project Management Institute, PMI, 2021 Talent Gap Report estimates that demand for project management-oriented employment, PMOE, in Sub-Saharan Africa will grow by 40 per cent by 2030.
These professionals are well-positioned to play a major role in launching Africa into a golden age of digital transformation that supports the continent’s entrepreneurs and African economies.

OK, get the calculator out - it's the final round of the National Premier Leagues NSW Men's and there are still a plethora of permutations that could happen.
One thing that is for certain is Marconi can no longer win the premiership after their 2-0 loss to APIA Leichhardt at Lambert Park on Sunday.

So just where they can their finish? Here are the possibilities.
- A win over the Bulls and the Stallions can finish second, third or fourth depending on the results of Blacktown City (first, 40-points) and Sydney Olympic FC (second, 38-points) and the Manly/Rockdale game.
- A draw will see Marconi almost certainly qualify for the top-five unless sixth-placed Rockdale (35-points) defeat third-placed Manly (38-points) and overcome a five-goal differential.
- A loss, will see the Stallions potentially miss the finals if Rockdale and APIA win.
Sydney United 58 will finish the season in eighth place after their 4-2 to loss to Manly on Sunday. The Reds will stay play a key role in the finals combination with their result against APIA Leichhardt at Lambert Park vital in the top-five make up.
All final round games will be played on Sunday at 3pm.

A popular summer title as of its release, Stray is a narrative-based adventure through a cyberpunk world. The big difference is that players explore the world as a cat attempting to return to its family.
Told from the third-person perspective of the cat protagonist, Stray features a lore-rich world of artificial intelligence, robotics, and the mysterious group known as the Outsiders.
However, the game's narrative is set in a linear progression, and players hoping to influence its ending may be disappointed, as there is one set conclusion to Stray's storyline. This remains true even if they find all the title's collectibles and exhaust all of its content as they explore Walled City 99 with their companion B-12.
Stray: Why doesn't the game have multiple endings?
While Stray is a considerably polished and intriguing title, unique in its gameplay and narrative mechanics, it possesses a lone ending. Why is this the case?
The answer could be due to myriad reasons, though it's important to note that the game was developed by a small indie studio known as BlueTwelve Studio. With so much time and effort committed to it, working on multiple endings may not have been ideal to ensure quality across the board.
It's also entirely possible that the writers and developers never intended for the game to have alternate endings. The final result of its narrative is quite satisfying on its own, and that may be enough for many gamers.
While it's undoubtedly always entertaining for adventure games to have multiple endings influenced by user choices, there's certainly nothing wrong with having a concrete conclusion. The title itself is pretty open-ended in some segments, and a considerable part of its draw is exploring the game world through the eyes of the feline protagonist.
Because the gameplay can be so engaging and its game world so in-depth for an indie title, many players may find the journey quite fulfilling. This may dissuade those who wish for more narrative choice in their games, but this adventure title is short enough to complete while still doing plenty of exploring and world-building on the side.
There's enough content that it provides even to enjoy multiple playthroughs, as gamers not using a guide may not encounter everything the title's lore offers in their initial playthrough.
Overall, the indie title is still a considerably rewarding experience even without having multiple endings to encounter. The unique gameplay of playing as a cat throughout various platforming, combat, and stealth challenges provides an experience that few recent games can match.
Once users have done their job and learned the story of their cat, B-12, and Walled City 99, the ending should tie everything together nicely.
Individuals may even be surprised at just how the ending leaves things once they finally arrive at the game's conclusion. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/esports/stray-possesses-alternate-endings | 2022-07-25T09:06:15Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/esports/stray-possesses-alternate-endings | false | 1 |

A man has vented his frustration on social media after he booked the 19:25 train from Heuston to Thurles on Sunday but was afraid he would miss it due to travel disruption in Bray on the DART line.
DART services to and from Bray were suspended for a time on Sunday after passengers "forced doors open and walked onto the track".
Iarnród Éireann said that a southbound DART was awaiting a clear platform at Bray before proceeding into the Wicklow station, when it said a number of people disembarked the train.
It said that passengers "forced doors open and walked on the track" at 2.55pm.
Shortly after 5pm, it reported that the line had reopened.
Addressing Irish Rail on Twitter, the man said: "I am stuck in Bray due to your incompetence. If I miss my train can you please give me confirmation here that I will be accommodated free of charge on the next service to Thurles."
Then at 6.21pm, the man again tweeted: "Hey @IrishRail would appreciate if you could confirm this before you close down at 7pm. I don’t want to have to complain about the p*ss poor Twitter account as well tomorrow."
Irish Rail responded and said: "Hi there, the 19.25 Heuston/Thurles has sold out online. So I would suggest speaking to a member of staff at the station as they can assist you further and possibly accommodate you on this service. If not, you can apply for a refund at the link below."
The man responded and said: "No, I have a ticket for the 19.25 train. I’m likely going to miss it because of the sh*tshow in Bray. I’m asking to be accommodated on the 21.00 hours train."

The trailer of Alia Bhatt, Shefali Shah and Vijay Varma starrer Darlings has been released. On Monday, Alia Bhatt shared the trailer of the film on her social media handle and shared what the dark comedy will revolve around.
The trailer begins with mother-daughter duo Alia Bhatt and Shefali Shah visiting a police station to file a missing complaint against her husband, Hamza (played by Vijay Varma). They tell the cops that Hamza went out for work but has not returned ever since. Later in the trailer, it has been revealed that it was no other than the mother-daughter duo who kidnapped Hamza.

This article is brought to you in association with the European Commission.
Following a request from EU Member States, the Commission is proposing today a temporary short-term derogation from rules on crop rotation and maintenance of non-productive features on arable land. The impact of such measure will depend on the choice made by Member States and farmers, but it will maximise the EU’s production capacity for cereals aimed for food products. It is estimated to put back 1.5 million hectares in production compared to today. Every tonne of cereals produced in the EU will help to increase food security worldwide.
The Commission proposal will be sent to EU Member States before it is formally adopted.
The global food system faces strong risks and uncertainties stemming in particular from the war in Ukraine where in the near future also issues of food security may arise.
In view of the importance of these GAECs (Good agricultural and environmental conditions) standards for the objectives to preserve soil potential and improve on-farm biodiversity as part of the long term sustainability of the sector and to maintain the food production potential, the derogation is temporary, limited to claim year 2023, and restricted to what is strictly necessary to address the global food security concerns, arising due to Russian military aggression against Ukraine, therefore excluding the planting of crops which are typically used for feeding animals (maize and soya).
The Commission proposal is a result of a careful balancing between global food availability and affordability on the one hand, and protection of biodiversity and soil quality on the other hand. The Commission remains fully committed to the Green Deal. The proposal foresees that Member States making use of the derogations shall promote ecoschemes and agri-environmental measures programmed in their CAP Strategic Plans.The long-term sustainability of our food system is fundamental for food security.
Even though we are in an extraordinary situation with regard to food security, we need to continue the transition to a resilient and sustainable agricultural sector in line with the Farm to Fork and Biodiversity Strategies, and the Nature Restoration Law.
Background
The Commission has responded with several initiatives to address the food security concerns following Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, including using the agricultural crisis reserve to alleviate difficulties for the most affected European farmers. In relation to helping Ukraine, support was provided to farmers to continue production and resume grain exports and work on the “Solidarity lanes” is starting to bring results. The Commission also recently launched the European Food Security Crisis Mechanism (EFSCM) to improve our collective preparedness to such risks, together with Member States and the operators of the food supply chain.
In its Communication ‘Safeguarding food security and reinforcing the resilience of food systems’ the Commission presented the serious consequences of the Russia’s invasion of Ukraine for global food security. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has triggered a sharp commodity price surge and has an impact on the supply and demand for agricultural products at global level. In particular, global wheat output is at risk both from the supply shock stemming from the size of Ukraine’s and Russia’s share in wheat markets and from the shock in input costs, especially in natural gas, nitrogen fertiliser and oxygen.
GAECs (Good agricultural and environmental conditions) are a set of EU standards beneficial for climate and environment, also known as conditionality that all farmers receiving CAP payments have to comply with. | https://europeansting.com/2022/07/25/commission-proposes-a-temporary-short-term-derogation-from-certain-agricultural-policy-rules-to-increase-the-production-of-cereals/ | 2022-07-25T09:14:30Z | https://europeansting.com/2022/07/25/commission-proposes-a-temporary-short-term-derogation-from-certain-agricultural-policy-rules-to-increase-the-production-of-cereals/ | false | 1 |
'I changed a lot of things' - £72m flop Pepe 'determined' to revive Arsenal career amid transfer talk
Nicolas Pepe has taken to social media to insist that he is "determined" to revive his Arsenal career. The winger has flopped at Emirates Stadium since his £72 million ($86m) move from Lille in 2019, but the club record signing says he has "changed a lot of things" during pre-season.
The 27-year-old made just five appearances in the Gunners' last Premier League campaign, scoring one goal and registering one assist, and he has been strongly linked with a summer transfer.
What did Nicolas Pepe say about his Arsenal future?
A number of clubs are reportedly interested in Pepe's services, including Leeds United, Newcastle, Marseille, and Sevilla.
However, the Ivory Coast international still wants to fight for a place in Mikel Arteta's starting XI and could see out the two years that are left on his contract.
"I worked hard during the summer. Changed a lot of things," Pepe said in a post on his Instagram account.
"I'm focused and determined with Arsenal and my team-mates."
Does Pepe have a place at Arsenal in 2022-23?
Pepe featured in all three of Arsenal's pre-season tour fixtures as they picked up wins over Everton, Orlando City and Chelsea.
However, he finds himself well down the squad pecking order when it comes to Arteta's attacking options. Bukayo Saka is the first choice of the Spanish manager in the right-wing position, while Gabriel Martinelli and Emile Smith Rowe are also currently in favour.
The Gunners have also reinforced their attack by signing Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City and Fabio Vieira from Porto, which makes Pepe's task even more difficult.

Peel Lightning booked their spot in the WA Netball League 20&U grand final after taking down Western Roar in the quarter-finals at Gold Netball Centre on Friday.
Sitting first and second on the ladder, the stage was set for a tough contest and it did not disappoint.
The pressure was on from the first centre pass, Lightning working their attacking plays to pull ahead slightly 12-10.
Lightning continued to build their momentum in the second quarter with quick and explosive leads while keeping Roar at bay defensively, putting up 16 goals to the opposition’s 11 and strengthening their margin to seven goals at half-time.
Momentum swung in Roar’s direction in the third quarter, launching their comeback and overpowering Lightning in attack with 16 goals to 15.
Roar continued to maintain a stronghold over Lightning and chip away at the margin in the fourth quarter, putting up another 16 goals to Lightning’s 14.
But Roar’s second-half comeback wasn’t enough to overthrow Lightning’s first-half efforts, the final score 57 to 53.
Lightning’s Casey Ridout was monumental in the D, putting up a game-high 49 goals, with Roar’s Rylee Hall sinking 30 goals.
The win sees Peel Lightning go straight through to the grand final clash on Sunday, August 7. | https://www.perthnow.com.au/community-news/mandurah-coastal-times/peel-lightning-book-grand-final-spot-after-four-goal-win-over-western-roar--c-7629469 | 2022-07-25T09:25:47Z | https://www.perthnow.com.au/community-news/mandurah-coastal-times/peel-lightning-book-grand-final-spot-after-four-goal-win-over-western-roar--c-7629469 | true | 1 |

Bollywood’s power couple Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal recently lodged a complaint with the Mumbai police alleging that they received a death threat from an unidentified man through social media. The case has been registered under various sections of the Indian Penal Code. These include criminal intimidation and stalking. Here’s what we know so far:
- Mumbai Police in a statement said that a case was registered at the Santacruz Police Station on a complaint by Vicky Kaushal. The police further added that he complained about a person who has been posting threat messages on Instagram. He stated that the accused has also been stalking Katrina and threatening her as well.
- The police have also registered a case under the IT Act. “We have registered the FIR and are trying to get more details about the person,” the official told news agency PTI.
- The duo was recently enjoying their holiday in Maldives where they went to celebrate Katrina’s birthday. Although, the police have said that the couple was receiving these threat messages for several days but it is not confirmed whether Vicky and Katrina were getting these threats while enjoying their vacation in Maldives also.
- According to a few media reports, the accused has been arrested. But there is no confirmation from the police as of now.
A couple of weeks back, actor Salman Khan had also received a death threat letter, which was sent to his father, Salim Khan, following the murder of liquor dealer and former minister of state for rural development, Shailendra Wala. The police immediately took action and increased the security of the star. He also visited the commissioner of police’s office to get a weapon license. Swara Bhasker, an actress, also received a threat letter.
On the work front, Katrina will be next seen in Tiger 3, Phone Bhoot, Merry Christmas, and New Year. On the other hand, Kaushal will be seen in a Sam Bahadur and a comedy film that features Manushi Chillar and is titled, Govinda Naam Mera. Vicky and Katrina tied the knot last year in a grand but intimate ceremony in Rajasthan. | https://www.financialexpress.com/entertainment/vicky-kaushal-katrina-kaif-get-death-threats-heres-what-we-know-so-far-about-the-case/2605216/ | 2022-07-25T09:30:58Z | https://www.financialexpress.com/entertainment/vicky-kaushal-katrina-kaif-get-death-threats-heres-what-we-know-so-far-about-the-case/2605216/ | true | 1 |

If you've shopped online recently, you may have had this experience: You find an item, add it to your cart, and then when you get around to paying, the price has increased.
You can thank pricing algorithms.
These are computer programs that look at factors such as supply, demand and the prices competitors are charging, and then adjust the price in real time. Now, there are calls for greater regulation at a time when these tactics are expected to become more common.
"A key thing about the algorithm is that given different inputs, like, say, time of day or weather or how many customers might be showing up, it might decide on a different price," said Harvard economics professor Alexander MacKay.
Theoretically, these algorithms could be good for competition. For example, if one business sets a price, the algorithm could automatically undercut it, resulting in a lower price for the consumer.
But it doesn't quite work that way, MacKay said. In a paper he co-authored in the National Bureau of Economic Research, he studied the way algorithms compete. He found that when multiple businesses used pricing algorithms, both knew that decreasing their price would cause their rival to decrease their price, which could set off a never-ending chain of price decreases.
This, MacKay said, takes price competition off the table.
"Why try to start a price war against a firm whose algorithm will see my price change and immediately undercut it," he said.
The impact of algorithms can be more than just a few extra dollars at checkout. During the 2017 terrorist attack on the London Bridge, Uber's pricing algorithm sensed the increased demand and the price of a ride surged in the area. Uber later manually halted surge pricing and refunded users.
The price fluctuations as a result of algorithms have also been found to increase feelings of customer betrayal.
A study published in the Frontiers in Psychology journal found that price discrimination led to decreased feelings of fairness and resulted in "disastrous consequences both for the vulnerable party and for the performance of the business relationship as a whole."
It's a point echoed by professors Marco Bertini and Oded Koenigsberg in the Harvard Business Review. They wrote that pricing algorithms lacked "the empathy required to anticipate and understand the behavioral and psychological effects that price changes have on customers," and that, "By emphasizing only supply-and-demand fluctuations in real time, the algorithm runs counter to marketing teams' aims for longer-term relationships and loyalty."
MacKay said a few regulations could help avoid some of these consequences and bring competition to a more standard model. The first would be preventing algorithms from factoring in the price of competitors, which he said was the key factor weakening price competition. The second was decreasing how frequently businesses could update their prices, which he said would mitigate or prevent a business from undercutting a competitor's price.
Yet ultimately, MacKay said pricing algorithms were only going to get more common.
"Firms are trying to maximize profits and they're trying to do it in a way that's legal and competitive," he said. "It's sort of in your best interest to adopt an algorithm to be able to consistently undercut your rivals to maintain a market share advantage."

BLAINE, Minn., July 25, 2022 (Gephardt Daily) — Utah’s Tony Finau rallied from a five-stroke deficit to win the 3M Open on Sunday and then celebrated his third PGA Tour victory with his family.
Finau, 32, a Salt Lake City native and former West High School golfer, got some final-round help from former BYU golfer Scott Piercy, who held a four-stroke lead heading into Sunday’s final round at TPC Twin Cities.
Piercy struggled on the back nine, including a triple-bogey on No. 14, allowing Finau to seize the victory with three straight birdies on Nos. 14-16 — including a 32-foot birdie putt on No. 15.
“I played about as clean of a tournament as I’ve ever played from tee to green,” Finau said during a news conference after Sunday’s final round. “I hit a lot of fairways, I hit a lot of greens, and I stayed patient with my putter.”
Finau tapped in a bogey putt on No. 18 to cap a final-round 67 and finish the tournament 17-under. It was his first PGA Tour win witnessed by his family, he said.
“This one I’ll remember really forever,” Finau said. “I didn’t have them there with me for either of my two (previous) wins, so this one’s extremely special. … To have my kids witness me winning on the 18th green, again it’s kind of what dreams are made of. For that to come to fruition for me and our family today is very special.”
Despite his solid play, Finau was chasing the leaders throughout the tournament and entered Sunday’s final round at 13-under, trailing Piercy (18-under) and Emiliano Grillo (14-under), and tied with Doug Ghim.
Finau said he learned he had taken over the lead when he reached No. 16.
“My heart almost skipped a beat,” he said. “I couldn’t believe it.”
It made for “quite a different feeling” at the No. 17 tee, he said, realizing he could close out his third PGA Tour victory.
“It seemed like Scott wasn’t letting up all tournament,” Finau said. “So to all of a sudden have the lead, I will say I got quite nervous on 17 just because it was a whole different feel than how the week was going. I was never near the lead. I was near the top of the leaderboard, but I was never within four or five shots. All of a sudden I was the one leading the golf tournament.”
Piercy’s final-round 76 left him at 13-under, tied with James Hahn and Tom Hoge in fourth place. Grillo and Sungjae Im tied for second at 14-under.
With the win, Finau moves up to 17th in the FedEx Cup standings. | https://gephardtdaily.com/local/utahs-tony-finau-rallies-to-win-3m-open-celebrates-3rd-pga-tour-title-with-family/ | 2022-07-25T09:35:25Z | https://gephardtdaily.com/local/utahs-tony-finau-rallies-to-win-3m-open-celebrates-3rd-pga-tour-title-with-family/ | false | 1 |
Scientists in Russia have developed a new wide-band optical absorber called 'black silicide' which they claim is more adjusted to match AM-1.5 solar spectrum with theoretically higher photogenerated current density. It could be used for tandem operation in photovoltaic devices.Scientists at the Institute of Automation and Control Processes in Russia have developed a novel kind of black silicon that they say has a higher near-infrared (NIR) light absorption and is better adjusted to absorb solar irradiance in the 1100-1800 nm range. "We simply added one another absorbing layer atop black silicon, ...Den vollständigen Artikel lesen ...

Severance Season 2: 6 Questions We Hope The Apple TV+ Series Will Answer When It Returns
By Heidi Venable published
Two words: Waffle Party.
Rarely has there been a season finale that has left me more desperate to find out what happens next than the end of Severance’s first season. The Apple TV+ sci-fi workplace thriller — rated one of the best new shows of 2022 — brought the drama to a boiling point for all of our beloved Microdata Refiners, and left viewers begging for Severance Season 2 with all of those wild cliffhangers. But, for all the new information we were given about Lumon and our heroes, there was still so much left unanswered about the inner workings of the company and the characters overall.
Praise Kier, a second season of the Ben Stiller-produced thriller has already been ordered, and once we finally learn the consequences that await the characters played by the Severance cast (both their Innies and Outies) after MDR’s field trip outside Lumon, we really hope some bigger revelations about Lumon Industries and those connected to it will follow soon after. Here are six big questions we hope will be answered when Severance Season 2 returns to Apple TV+ subscribers:
How Did Mark Come To Work At Lumon, And What Happened To Gemma?
Mark (Adam Scott) choosing to sever himself, as an emotional escape following the death of his wife, Gemma (Dichen Lachman), seemed to make enough sense — albeit in a depressing and flawed way. But the late-season reveal that Gemma (or the “Ms. Casey” version of her) has apparently been on the Lumon testing floor the whole time adds an interesting wrinkle. Did Harmony Cobel (Patricia Arquette) have a hand in Mark taking a job on Lumon’s severed floor? Was Lumon involved in Gemma’s “death”? Was Gemma severed before or after her accident?
Since Ms. Casey told Mark that she’d only been awake for 107 hours, does that mean the testing floor is the department Petey (Yul Vazquez) told Mark about, where you don’t get to leave? With Season 1 ending on Mark’s haunting wail of, “She’s alive!” this is definitely going to get some attention next season.
How Does Irving Know About The Testing Floor?
Speaking of the testing floor, Irving’s Outie seemed to have a fixation with it, as we saw him compulsively painting the hallway leading up to it. So, how did he know about the testing floor? From what we saw of Irving (John Turturro) in Season 1, there was no indication his Innie had seen it, either.
There did seem to be some blending of Irv’s worlds, because as well as that, we also saw his Innie hallucinate black paint (like from his Outie’s paintings) when he nodded off at work. Why was it important for Irv’s Outie to stay awake via loud music and coffee? Was he avoiding nightmares? Was he trying to get his Innie to fall asleep on the job? I think we’ll definitely delve into the MDR Outies more next season.
We’ve Got To Talk About The Waffle Party
Definitely one of Season 1’s biggest “What the actual fuck?” moments came when Dylan (Zach Cherry) was rewarded with a waffle party after being named Refiner of the Quarter. In a twist so bizarre even Stephen King commented on it, Dylan enjoyed a plate of waffles in the model Kier Eagan house, before climbing into Kier’s bed and donning a large mask of the Lumon founder. Then four costumed dancers in lingerie came out and seductively re-created the Lumon painting of Kier and the four tempers.
I need to know what would have happened if Dylan hadn’t had to sneak out to wake up his colleague’s Innies. You absolutely cannot introduce something like that in Season 1 without seeing it through in Season 2. You just can’t.
What Does Lumon Even Do, And What’s With The Baby Goats?
That’s the million-dollar question, isn’t it? What kind of company is Lumon Industries? We know they’re a billion-dollar corporation, high on security, and pro-severance even outside of what is mandatory for their employees. Oh, and don’t forget the cult-ish religious overtones. We know the MDR department sorted numbers based on the emotion they evoked, but to what end? It could literally be anything on the spectrum from some kind of emotional manipulation to meaningless busy work.
If we couldn't even nail that down, there’s no way to speculate what the other departments were doing, or even how many departments there are. Mark and Helly (Britt Lower) stumbled upon a man bottle-feeding baby goats, who seemed terrified because “it isn’t time.” Severance will need to give us at least a morsel of what we’re looking at in regards to Lumon’s agenda next season. Those goats were giving me Lost polar bear flashbacks, so I hope there’s a satisfying explanation.
Why Was The Card Dylan Stole Such A Big Deal?
The infographic card that Dylan stole from the Optics & Design department didn’t appear to be anything wildly incriminating — maybe some kind of martial arts or self-defense instruction — but whatever it was, it was important enough for Milchick (Tramell Tillman) to wake up Dylan’s Innie on the outside to get it back, thus revealing the Overtime Protocol to the MDR staff. Why was Milchick so concerned?
Also, with Dylan staying behind to wake up the others, we didn’t learn as much about his Outie as we did for Helly and Irving. Milchick tried to bribe Dylan with information about his three children, and with Dylan’s late-season desperation to know more about his family, I'm thinking we'll learn more about them in Season 2, including why he decided to sever himself.
What Is Regabhi’s Plan, And Will We See A Successful Reintegration?
Mark was the only Outie we spent any real time with in Season 1, as his work BFF Petey tracked him down following his reintegration. Season 2 is going to have to dive deeper into that process, including what former Lumon employee Regabhi (Karen Aldridge) is plotting. All we know is that Regabhi was the one who performed the severance process on Lumon’s other workers, and now she’s figured out how to reverse the process.
Why is she doing that? Why doesn’t she work for Lumon anymore? What killed Petey? The first season really only scratched the surface on reintegration, as even the Lumon Board refused to acknowledge that it could be done. I expect that we’ll not only learn more about Regabhi next season, but we’ll possibly even see a successful reintegration.
It’s baffling how deep a world Ben Stiller and Dan Erickson were able to create in just nine episodes, and how invested we got in the characters and their stories, while still being so in the dark about the universe at large. As we wait for Severance Season 2 (opens in new tab) to clear up a lot of these questions, be sure to check out some of the other best shows on Apple TV+ as well as these other shows to watch if you liked Severance.

Kochi: The Kerala High Court on Monday delivered a stinging rebuke to Saritha S Nair for seeking a copy of the confidential court statement of Swapna Suresh, a key accused in the diplomatic baggage gold smuggling case.
"How can the court grant access of a confidential statement to an individual unrelated to the case?" the court said in response to her plea.
Saritha, herself an accused in a major political scandal a decade ago, was challenging the Ernakulam Sessions Court order dismissing her plea to get hold of the secret statement filed as per Section 164 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC).
She had earlier approached the lower court for a copy of Swapna's confidential statement. Saritha's counsel had argued that the statement given by Swapna under was a public document and that she was entitled to get a copy as her name was mentioned in the statement. The lower court pointed out that only the investigating agency was entitled to a copy of the statement.
Swapna had filed the statement in the Ernakulam Principal Sessions Court on June 6 and 7 as part of an Enforcement Directorate (ED) case.
The High Court had sought ED's response to Saritha's petition and appointed an amicus curiae to assist the court to decide the legal question of whether a statement recorded under Section 164 of the CrPC is a public document.
The sensational gold smuggling case came to the limelight again recently after Swapna gave a secret statement in a court and levelled serious allegations against Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, his family members, former minister KT Jaleel and some top bureaucrats. | https://www.onmanorama.com/news/kerala/2022/07/25/swapna-164-statement-high-court-saritha-plea.amp.html | 2022-07-25T09:44:31Z | https://www.onmanorama.com/news/kerala/2022/07/25/swapna-164-statement-high-court-saritha-plea.amp.html | true | 2 |

Eight people have been rescued near King's Lynn after a historic boat ran aground.
A lifeboat was launched from Hunstanton on Saturday (July 23) following reports of a stranded boat.
Four men and four women were on the historic Baden Powell boat when it ran aground.
The lifeboat crew rescued all eight people and took them to the local coastguard response team.
And on Sunday (July 24) Hunstanton lifeboat crews were called to Brancaster following reports of a group cut off by the tide.
When the crew arrived the group had made their own way back to shore from Scolt Head Island. | https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/baden-powell-boat-runs-aground-near-king-lynn-9165426 | 2022-07-25T09:44:55Z | https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/baden-powell-boat-runs-aground-near-king-lynn-9165426 | true | null |
If you've shopped online recently, you may have had this experience: You find an item, add it to your cart, and then when you get around to paying, the price has increased.
You can thank pricing algorithms.
These are computer programs that look at factors such as supply, demand and the prices competitors are charging, and then adjust the price in real time. Now, there are calls for greater regulation at a time when these tactics are expected to become more common.
"A key thing about the algorithm is that given different inputs, like, say, time of day or weather or how many customers might be showing up, it might decide on a different price," said Harvard economics professor Alexander MacKay.
Theoretically, these algorithms could be good for competition. For example, if one business sets a price, the algorithm could automatically undercut it, resulting in a lower price for the consumer.
But it doesn't quite work that way, MacKay said. In a paper he co-authored in the National Bureau of Economic Research, he studied the way algorithms compete. He found that when multiple businesses used pricing algorithms, both knew that decreasing their price would cause their rival to decrease their price, which could set off a never-ending chain of price decreases.
This, MacKay said, takes price competition off the table.
"Why try to start a price war against a firm whose algorithm will see my price change and immediately undercut it," he said.
The impact of algorithms can be more than just a few extra dollars at checkout. During the 2017 terrorist attack on the London Bridge, Uber's pricing algorithm sensed the increased demand and the price of a ride surged in the area. Uber later manually halted surge pricing and refunded users.
The price fluctuations as a result of algorithms have also been found to increase feelings of customer betrayal.
A study published in the Frontiers in Psychology journal found that price discrimination led to decreased feelings of fairness and resulted in "disastrous consequences both for the vulnerable party and for the performance of the business relationship as a whole."
It's a point echoed by professors Marco Bertini and Oded Koenigsberg in the Harvard Business Review. They wrote that pricing algorithms lacked "the empathy required to anticipate and understand the behavioral and psychological effects that price changes have on customers," and that, "By emphasizing only supply-and-demand fluctuations in real time, the algorithm runs counter to marketing teams' aims for longer-term relationships and loyalty."
MacKay said a few regulations could help avoid some of these consequences and bring competition to a more standard model. The first would be preventing algorithms from factoring in the price of competitors, which he said was the key factor weakening price competition. The second was decreasing how frequently businesses could update their prices, which he said would mitigate or prevent a business from undercutting a competitor's price.
Yet ultimately, MacKay said pricing algorithms were only going to get more common.
"Firms are trying to maximize profits and they're trying to do it in a way that's legal and competitive," he said. "It's sort of in your best interest to adopt an algorithm to be able to consistently undercut your rivals to maintain a market share advantage."

- Twitter spent $33 million on expenses related to Elon Musk's proposed takeover in Q2 this year.
- Those costs are set to balloon with Twitter facing off against Musk in court.
- Musk is trying to walk away from his proposal to buy Twitter for $44 billion.
- Twitter's fight with Elon Musk is already costing the social media giant dearly.
- For more stories visit Business Insider.
Musk agreed to buy Twitter for $44 billion in April, but announced on July 8 he wants to abandon the deal.
Twitter said in its Q2 earnings report Friday it has already incurred $33 million in costs related to its "pending acquisition" by Musk.
Twitter also partially blamed a 1% drop in revenue on "uncertainty" caused by Musk's turbulent acquisition.
Twitter's costs will continue to rise as it is headed for a legal battle with Musk. Twitter has hired top corporate law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz LLP to help it sue Musk with the aim of forcing him to adhere to his original agreement and buy the company.
Musk's contention is that Twitter gave him a false impression about the number of fake accounts on its platform. In its regulatory filings Twitter says roughly 5% of accounts are fake, but Musk's lawyers said the Tesla billionaires' analysis shows the figure is "wildly higher than 5%."
Twitter's lawyers said Musk's professed concern over fake accounts is a smoke screen and he only wants out of the deal because his Tesla shares have tanked.
Twitter won an early victory in its lawsuit against Musk as it was granted an expedited trial to minimize the "business risk" posed to the company.
Even if the initial judgement were to come quickly in Twitter's favor Musk could appeal the decision and make the case last up to three years Harry Kraemer, professor of management and strategy at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management, told Insider.
"The big, big winners in this one are gonna be the law firms," Kraemer said, adding: "These guys are gonna make a fortune." | https://www.businessinsider.co.za/twitter-elon-musk-deal-has-already-cost-33-million-2022-7 | 2022-07-25T10:01:55Z | https://www.businessinsider.co.za/twitter-elon-musk-deal-has-already-cost-33-million-2022-7 | false | 3 |

BERLIN (AP) — German business confidence has fallen more than expected this month, hitting a two-year low amid worries about higher energy prices and the prospect of a possible natural gas shortage, a closely watched survey showed Monday.
The Ifo institute said its monthly confidence index, a leading indicator for Europe’s biggest economy, dropped to 88.6 points in July from 92.2 last month. It was the second consecutive fall and took the index to its lowest level since June 2020. Economists had predicted a drop to 90.1.
The decline was led by a drop in companies’ outlook for the next six months, but they also were less satisfied with their current situation.
“Companies are expecting business to become much more difficult in the coming months,” Ifo said in a statement. “Higher energy prices and the threat of a gas shortage are weighing on the economy. Germany is on the cusp of a recession.”
Natural gas deliveries through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline from Russia to Germany resumed as scheduled last week after a 10-day shutdown for maintenance — but still at only 40% of full capacity, as they had been since mid-June. The outlook for future deliveries from Russia, which recently has accounted for around a third of Germany’s gas supply, is uncertain.
The German government announced that it would step up its gas storage requirements and take further measures to save gas used to power industry, generate electricity and heat homes in the winter.
And on Friday, it announced a bailout package for energy supplier Uniper, in which it will take a 30% stake. One result will be higher prices for customers, whose effects officials vowed to cushion.
The Ifo survey is based on responses from about 9,000 businesses across various business sectors.

BEIJING (AP) — Taiwan’s capital staged air raid drills Monday and its military mobilized for routine defense exercises, coinciding with concerns over a forceful Chinese response to a possible visit to the island by U.S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.
While there was no direct link between China’s renewed threats and Taiwan’s defensive moves, they underscore the possibility of a renewed crisis in the Taiwan Strait, considered a potential hotspot for conflict that could envelop the entire region.
Air raid sirens were sounded in the capital Taipei and the military was holding its annual multi-day Han Kuang drills, including joint air and sea exercises and the mobilization of tanks and troops.
In Taipei, police directed people to shelters when a siren went off shortly after lunchtime. Streets emptied and shops closed.
“In recent years, Chinese military planes have frequently harassed Taiwan, and the war between Russia and Ukraine broke out in February this year," Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je told reporters, referencing concerns that a similar conflict could break out in East Asia. “All these things make us understand the importance of being vigilant in times of peace and we need to be prepared if there is war.”
Pelosi has not confirmed when, or even if, she will visit, but President Joe Biden last week told reporters that U.S. military officials believed such a trip was “not a good idea.” Administration officials are believed to be critical of a possible trip, both for the problematic timing and the lack of coordination with the White House.
China's authoritarian ruling Communist Party considers democratic, self-ruling Taiwan its own territory, to be annexed by force if necessary, and regularly advertises that threat by staging military exercises and flying warplanes into Taiwan's air defense identification zone or across the center line of the 180-kilometer (100-mile) -wide Taiwan Strait.
Beijing says those actions are aimed at deterring advocates of the island’s formal independence and foreign allies — principally the U.S. — from interfering, more than 70 years after the sides split amid civil war. Surveys routinely show that Taiwan's 23 million people reject China's assertions that the island is a Chinese province that has strayed and must be brought under Beijing's control.
Pelosi, long a sharp critic of Beijing, is second in line to the White House. She is viewed as a Biden proxy by China, which demands members of Congress follow the commitments made by previous administrations.
Taiwan is among the few issues that enjoys broad bipartisan support among lawmakers and within the administration, with Biden stating earlier this year that the U.S. would defend Taiwan if it came under attack.
U.S. law requires Washington provide Taiwan with the means to defend itself and treat all threats to the island as matters of “grave concern," but remains ambiguous on whether it would commit forces in response to an attack from China.
Though the sides lack formal diplomatic ties, the U.S. is Taiwan's chief provider of outside defense assistance and political support, in a reflection of its desire to limit China's growing influence and maintain a robust American presence in the Western Pacific.
During a visit to Indonesia on Sunday, U.S. Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the Chinese military has become significantly more aggressive and dangerous over the past five years.
Milley's Chinese counterpart, Gen. Li Zuocheng, told him in a call earlier this month that Beijing had “no room for compromise” on issues such as Taiwan.
On Monday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said Beijing had repeatedly expressed its “solemn position" over a potential visit by Pelosi, who would be the highest-ranking U.S. elected official to visit Taiwan since 1997.
“We are fully prepared," Zhao told reporters at a daily briefing. “If the U.S. is bent on going its own way, China will take firm and strong measures to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity."
China has not said what specific actions it would take, although speculation has centered on a new round of threatening military exercises or even an attempt to prevent Pelosi's plane from landing by declaring a no-fly zone over Taiwan.
“If the U.S. is determined to make (a visit) happen, they know China will take unprecedented tough measures and the U.S. must make military preparations," said Shi Yinhong, an international relations expert at Beijing’s Renmin University.
“Expect huffing and puffing, maybe some fire-breathing, military posturing, and perhaps economic punishment of Taiwan," said Michael Mazza, a defense and China expert at the American Enterprise Institute.
The timing of a Pelosi visit, which could happen sometime in early August, is especially sensitive, hinging on multiple factors. Among them is the anniversary of the founding of the People's Liberation Army — the military branch of the ruling Communist Party — which falls on Aug. 1, a date used to stoke nationalism and rally the troops.
Chinese leaders are also under pressure from hardline nationalist forces within the party ranks.
That harkens back to the Taiwan Strait crisis of 1995 and 1996, when China held exercises and launched missiles into waters north and south of the island in response to a U.S. visit by the island's then-president Lee Teng-hui. The U.S. responded by dispatching two aircraft carrier battle groups to the area, a move that helped spur China's massive military upgrading in the years since that has radically changed the balance of power in Asia.
Xi is meanwhile seeking a third five-year term as party leader at a congress later this year and needs to show he is in charge amid a slowing economy and a public backlash against his “zero-COVID" policy.
Overall, the situation appears to be more serious than in 1995-96, said Bonnie Glaser, director of the Asia Program at the German Marshall Fund of the United States.
“If the Chinese want to demonstrate resolve they have many ways to do so," Glaser said.
China doesn't want to create a “crisis for crisis' sake," but could try to use the possibility of a Pelosi visit to advance its agenda, said Oriana Skylar Mastro, an expert on Chinese military affairs and foreign policy at Stanford University.
China might take the opportunity to test out capabilities through a large-scale amphibious exercise, which it would justify as a response to an “aggressive move" by the U.S., Mastro said.
“So I think they’ll use it as an opportunity to make advances that could be problematic, but (which) they wanted to do anyway regardless of the Pelosi visit," she said.

NEW DELHI: A member of the CWG-bound women's 4x100m relay team is set be withdrawn from the Indian squad after testing positive for a banned drug.
No official is willing to confirm the name of the dope offender.
"A member of the relay team bound for CWG has tested positive and she will be withdrawn," a top source told PTI without elaborating.
With the latest dope flunk, the women's 4x100m relay team has been left with just four members. If an injury happens to the remaining four members, somebody from other track events may have to be roped in, which, however, will affect the team's performance.
The Athletics Federation of India (AFI) had initially named Dutee Chand, Hima Das, Srabani Nanda, NS Simi, Sekar Dhanalakshmi and MV Jilna in the 37-member Indian athletics squad.
But later, Jilna was withdrawn from the team as the Indian Olympic Association was allocated a quota of just 36 athletes. Jilna was, however, added later as replacement of Dhanalakshmi who also failed dope tests.
The dope offender is reportedly a late inclusion in the team but it could not confirmed.
The latest dope flunk came a few days after two other CWG-bound athletes -- top sprinter Sekar Dhanalakshmi and triple jumper Aishwarya
Babu -- were dropped from the Indian team after returning two positive tests each for banned drugs.
Dhanalakshmi failed two out-of-competition tests while Aishwarya returned positive in two in-competition tests.
Dhanalakshmi's dope samples contained anabolic steroid while Ostarine, a type of drug called a selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM), was found in Aishwarya's samples taken on June 13 and 14 during the National Inter-State Championships in Chennai.
Meanwhile, para discus thrower Aneesh Kumar and para powerlifter Geeta have also tested positive for banned substances.
The dope samples were collected out of competition by the NADA officials. Geeta tested positive for anabolic steroid while Kumar's sample was found to contain diuretics and masking agent Hydrochlorothiazide.
Geeta has been handed provisional suspension and has been withdrawn from the CWG team. Kumar, on the other hand, is likely to compete in the CWG as he has not been handed provisional suspension since Hydrochlorothiazide is a specified substance under the WADA Code.
Provisional suspension is not mandatory for specified substances.
A Paralympic Committee of India (PCI) source said the prohibited substance found in Kumar's sample was due to a medicine he took for blood pressure though he did not apply for prior Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE).
He said the NADA letter sent to Kumar mentioned that he can furnish explanation of how the substance had entered his body by August 9.
"Aneesh has informed the NADA that the substance found in his sample was due to the medicine he took for blood pressure," the PCI source said.
"Since he was not handed provisional suspension, we are hoping that he will be cleared for CWG. However, Geeta cannot go for CWG," the source claimed. | https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/commonwealth-games-2022/indiabirmingham/another-cwg-bound-indian-track-and-field-athlete-fails-dope-test/articleshow/93108346.cms | 2022-07-25T10:15:53Z | https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/commonwealth-games-2022/indiabirmingham/another-cwg-bound-indian-track-and-field-athlete-fails-dope-test/articleshow/93108346.cms | true | 11 |
Satellite Operators Eutelsat And OneWeb Eye Possible Merger
Sumaira FH Published July 25, 2022 | 01:30 PM
Paris, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 25th Jul, 2022 ) :French satellite operator Eutelsat said Monday it is in talks with British counterpart OneWeb for a possible tie-up to become a global champion in broadband internet, rivalling US operators such as SpaceX's Starlink.
"Following recent market rumours, Eutelsat Communications confirms that it has engaged in discussions with its co-shareholders in OneWeb regarding a potential all-share combination to create a global leader in connectivity," the French company said in a statement.
Eutelsat, which specialises in geostationary Earth orbit (GEO) with a fleet of 35 satellites positioned at an altitude of 36,000 kilometres (22,400 miles) for satellite internet services, already holds a stake of 23 percent in OneWeb.
OneWeb, for its part, has deployed 428 out of a total 648 so-called "low Earth orbit" (LEO) satellites, operating at an altitude of several hundred kilometres.
The combined entity "would be the first multi-orbit satellite operator offering integrated GEO and LEO solutions and would be uniquely positioned to address a booming satellite connectivity market", that is expected to grow to $16 billion by 2030, Eutelsat said.
"OneWeb is one of the two only global LEO networks and has experienced strong momentum over recent months, with service expected to be fully deployed in 2023." The transaction would represent a "logical next step in the successful partnership between Eutelsat and OneWeb," the statement said.
Under the terms of the transaction being discussed, Eutelsat and OneWeb shareholders would each hold 50 percent of the combined group's shares.
The transaction would be structured in such a way that OneWeb's shareholders would exchange their shares in OneWeb for newly issued Eutelsat shares.
Any combination would be subject to, among other conditions, approval by the requisite majority of Eutelsat shareholders and receipt of all relevant antitrust and regulatory approvals.
"There can be no assurance that these discussions will result in any agreement. Eutelsat will inform the market as soon as soon as there are any new developments," it said.

'I changed a lot of things' - £72m flop Pepe 'determined' to revive Arsenal career amid transfer talk
Nicolas Pepe has taken to social media to insist that he is "determined" to revive his Arsenal career. The winger has flopped at Emirates Stadium since his £72 million ($86m) move from Lille in 2019, but the club record signing says he has "changed a lot of things" during pre-season.
The 27-year-old made just five appearances in the Gunners' last Premier League campaign, scoring one goal and registering one assist, and he has been strongly linked with a summer transfer.
What did Nicolas Pepe say about his Arsenal future?
A number of clubs are reportedly interested in Pepe's services, including Leeds United, Newcastle, Marseille, and Sevilla.
However, the Ivory Coast international still wants to fight for a place in Mikel Arteta's starting XI and could see out the two years that are left on his contract.
"I worked hard during the summer. Changed a lot of things," Pepe said in a post on his Instagram account.
"I'm focused and determined with Arsenal and my team-mates."
Does Pepe have a place at Arsenal in 2022-23?
Pepe featured in all three of Arsenal's pre-season tour fixtures as they picked up wins over Everton, Orlando City and Chelsea.
However, he finds himself well down the squad pecking order when it comes to Arteta's attacking options. Bukayo Saka is the first choice of the Spanish manager in the right-wing position, while Gabriel Martinelli and Emile Smith Rowe are also currently in favour.
The Gunners have also reinforced their attack by signing Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City and Fabio Vieira from Porto, which makes Pepe's task even more difficult. | https://www.goal.com/en-au/news/i-changed-a-lot-of-things-pepe-determined-revive-arsenal/blt54fb0443fd1ea796 | 2022-07-25T10:22:21Z | https://www.goal.com/en-au/news/i-changed-a-lot-of-things-pepe-determined-revive-arsenal/blt54fb0443fd1ea796 | true | 9 |
Parents supply the authority to generate treatment decisions about their minor people but in a number of circumstances, given that explained below
The latest U.S. Supreme Courtroom enjoys kept one to moms and dads provides constitutional versatility and you can privacy welfare regarding the straight to make conclusion on what to help you raise kids, also decision making on which surgical procedure and you will procedures they want to located.
The new Hayes Courtroom particularly held one “[t]the following is much presumption facing sterilization of men and women unable off informed agree that have to be overcome” by indicating most of the following the standards because of the a clear, cogent, and you will convincing fundamental (focus added):
Even though they keeps higher legal rights than simply guardians off adults, the latest legal rights regarding mothers making procedures and other decisions to have the minor pupils, not, are not unfettered. “[T]he county enjoys numerous fuel to possess restricting parental independence and you may expert into the one thing impacting this new children’s interests.” Parents are apt to have the ability to make scientific behavior due to their slight pupils and gives told concur for various measures; not, process of law have limited this power whenever moms and dads look for highly invasive and you will/or irreversible medical treatment of their small people. Courts additionally the Arizona State Legislature, instance, has actually kept that mothers do not have the authority to help you consent to medical treatment when you look at the cases connected with involuntary inpatient psychiatric worry, new government of electro convulsive medication during the non-disaster lifetime-protecting facts, psychosurgery, abortions to have mature minors, sterilization, or other equivalent intrusive procedures, such as for instance in which the notice of parent age once the those of the child.
In Inside the re also Hayes , the newest Arizona https://datingmentor.org/pl/instabang-recenzja/ Condition Best Legal kept one a grandfather away from good man with a great developmental handicap did not have the right to agree to sterilization with respect to the woman slight child. The fresh legal discovered that as opposed to other surgical treatment, adult concur is ineffective into the instances connected with sterilization out-of children just like the involuntary sterilization imposes somewhat toward kid’s fundamental freedom and you can privacy hobbies. For this reason, the newest judge held that the child need to be illustrated because of the a beneficial disinterested alternative party such a guardian post litem or an attorney inside the an enthusiastic adversarial hearing to determine whether or not the sterilization regarding the fresh small try legally rationalized.
The fresh Hayes Judge and established the studies that has to be used inside the choosing whether or not a courtroom have a tendency to authorize the fresh sterilization of individuals that have an effective developmental impairment.
Arizona County law and the Arizona Constitution plus manage parents these rights
- the kid are struggling to and then make their own choice on sterilization;
- the child are impractical growing well enough and work out the best judgment in the sterilization as time goes on;
- the child is actually physically capable of procreation;
- the kid sometimes participate in sexual intercourse at the establish or in the future significantly less than activities likely to influence in pregnancy;
- the kid is actually permanently unable to handling a kid;
- the less drastic birth control steps, together with supervision, degree and knowledge, was in fact proved unworkable or inapplicable;
- this new suggested method of sterilization entails the least invasion of one’s body of the person;
- reversible sterilization process and other reduced extreme contraceptive strategy cannot be around quickly; and you may
- science is not into the tolerance of an upfront from the remedy for the latest child’s impairment.
This new court went on to point out that do not only was the latest good assumption against sterilization very difficult to overcome, although ages of the child helps it be “difficult otherwise impossible” to show each requirement. Within the Hayes , the fresh new judge reported that just like the son had been just sixteen-years-old, it wasn’t possible to prove many of the required things mentioned above of the uncertainties of your kid’s coming development. Right here, the fresh new “Ashley Therapy” is actually did into a half dozen-year-old child; thus, taking court recognition for those very invasive actions one lead to irreparable problems for standard freedom and you will confidentiality passions of these an effective child may likely getting quite difficult. | http://www.theasian.asia/archives/145463 | 2022-07-25T10:23:46Z | http://www.theasian.asia/archives/145463 | true | 1 |
NRL player Kevin Proctor sacked by club for vaping in toilet cubicle during game
The 33-year-old second-row forward has been released by Gold Coast Titans after posting a video of himself vaping on his Instagram account
New Zealand international Kevin Proctor has been sacked by the Gold Coast Titans after vaping in a toilet cubicle during his team’s defeat to Canterbury in Australia’s National Rugby League on Sunday.
Video of Proctor vaping during the Titans’ 36-26 loss at Western Sydney Stadium was deleted from his Instagram account but not before being widely shared on social media.
The 33-year-old second-row forward, capped 22 times for his country, was not playing in the match but was part of the Titans’ gameday squad.
“Proctor has ... been released from his commitments with the club for the remainder of the year and will not return to train or play with the squad,” the Titans said in a statement.
“His actions were in breach of both NRL and stadium regulations.”
Vaping is banned at Australian stadiums and NRL players are not allowed to have their mobile phones with them from an hour before their teams’ matches start.
Proctor, an NRL championship winner with the Melbourne Storm in 2012, has been penalised multiple times for off-field issues since joining the Titans in 2017.
He was axed from New Zealand’s Rugby League World Cup squad in 2017 after being caught on video snorting a white substance outside a Canberra nightclub with Kiwis teammate Jesse Bromwich.
He was also banned for four matches in 2020 after biting another New Zealand teammate, Shaun Johnson, during a game against the Cronulla Sharks.
Proctor had not played for the Titans since round nine in May and was off contract at the end of the 2022 season.

Gene-edited BEAGLES are created from cloned skin cells for the first time in an attempt to save them from diseases caused by inbreeding
- Scientists have created gene-edited dogs from cloned skin cells for the first time
- CRISPR-edited dogs have previously been created by altering fertilised eggs
- However, two beagles born in South Korea are the first to be created by cloning
- It could help to eliminate disease-causing mutations from pedigree dog breeds
Two beagle dogs have been born in South Korea after being created from cloned skin cells altered by gene-editing for the first time.
Scientists hope that the technique could be used to eliminate disease-causing mutations from pedigree dog breeds.
CRISPR-edited dogs have previously been created by altering fertilised eggs.
However, this is the first time it has been used on cloned cells, which is beneficial because it means the mutations can be removed without affecting other traits, as happens when gene-editing eggs.
Okjae Koo at South Korean biotech company ToolGen said: '[It] is more reliable for generating various pure-bred genome-edited dogs.'
Pedigree dogs are often susceptible to genetic diseases because of years of inbreeding, research has shown.
Among the issues are spaniels having brains too big for their skulls and boxers suffering from epilepsy.
Puppies: Two beagle dogs have been born in South Korea after being created from cloned skin cells altered by gene-editing for the first time
Koo and his team created the dogs by first gene-editing skin cells to mutate a gene called DJ-1, which is associated with diseases such as Parkinson's.
Their editing prevented the protein it codes from being made.
Researchers then added several genes, including one for a fluorescent green protein called GFP to make it easier to detect which cells had been successfully edited.
Koo said he and his colleagues do not plan to add these genes in future.
The team then placed these gene-edited skin cells next to egg cells whose DNA had been removed, and used short pulses of electricity to fuse them together.
A total of 68 embryos were created and implanted into six different surrogate mothers, resulting in two puppies.
The dogs are now 22 months old and do not have any abnormalities, but the experts said that because diseases linked to DJ-1 are age-related, they might still experience issues as they get older.
CRISPR-Cas9 is a tool for making precise edits in DNA.
It involves a DNA cutting enzyme and a small tag which tells the enzyme where to cut.
By editing this tag, scientists are able to target the enzyme to specific regions of DNA and make precise cuts, wherever they like.
It has been used to 'silence' genes - effectively switching them off.
'We developed genome-edited dogs using SCNT (somatic cell nuclear transfer) and CRISPR-Cas9,' the researchers wrote in their paper.
The dogs are now 22 months old and do not have any abnormalities, but the experts said that because diseases linked to DJ-1 are age-related, they might experience issues as they get older
'DJ-1 KO dogs show partial or complete repression of target gene expression.
'This technology can be used in further studies to produce pathogenic gene-corrected or disease-modelling dogs.'
The first human trials of CRISPR therapies are happening already, and researchers hope that they are on the brink of reaching the clinic.
However, some scientists claim to have uncovered evidence the gene-editing tool causes unwanted mutations that may prove dangerous — and is 'much less safe' than once thought.
Others remain concerned it could create 'designer babies' by allowing parents to choose their hair colour, height or even traits such as intelligence.
The new research has been published in the journal BMC Biotechnology. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-11045819/Gene-edited-beagles-created-cloned-skin-cells-time.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-07-25T10:28:18Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-11045819/Gene-edited-beagles-created-cloned-skin-cells-time.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true | 3 |

‘Heroic’ farmer ploughs crops to prevent fire spreading at Kent farm
A heroic farmer helped to prevent the spread of a huge crop fire over the weekend, ploughing a trench in his neighbour’s field.
Firefighters were called to tackle a blaze that broke out in Lenham Heath, Kent, on Saturday (23 July).
As the flames spread across 20 acres of land close to the M20, farmer Bill Alexander “rapidly stepped in” and used his tractor to cut the crops around the fire to help slow it down.
The blaze was brought under control after 90 minutes thanks to the “heroic” actions of Alexander and firefighters.

BANGKOK (AP) — Myanmar’s government confirmed Monday it had carried out its first executions in nearly 50 years, hanging a former lawmaker, a democracy activist and two other political prisoners who had been accused of a targeted killing after the country’s military takeover last year.
The executions, first announced in the state-run Mirror Daily newspaper, were carried out despite worldwide pleas for clemency for the four men, including from United Nations experts and Cambodia, which holds the rotating chairmanship of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
The four were executed “in accordance with legal procedures” for directing and organizing “violent and inhuman accomplice acts of terrorist killings,” the newspaper reported. It did not say when they were hanged.
The military government later issued a brief statement about the executions, while the prison where the men had been held and the prison department refused comment.
Aung Myo Min, human rights minister for the National Unity Government, a shadow civilian administration established outside Myanmar after the military seized power in February 2021, rejected the allegations the men were involved in violence.
“Punishing them with death is a way to rule the public through fear,” he told The Associated Press.
Among those executed was Phyo Zeya Thaw, a former lawmaker from ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy party. Also known as Maung Kyaw, he was convicted in January by a closed military court of offenses involving possession of explosives, bombings and financing terrorism.
His wife, Thazin Nyunt Aung, told the AP the world needs to hold the military accountable for the executions. “They have to pay,” she said.
The U.S. Embassy in Myanmar said it mourned the loss of the four men and offered condolences to their families while decrying the decision to execute them.
“We condemn the military regime’s execution of pro-democracy leaders and elected officials for exercising their fundamental freedoms,” the embassy said.
In China, a longtime ally of Myanmar’s military, Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian refused to comment on the executions, saying Beijing “always upholds the principle of non-interference in other countries’ internal affairs.”
Phyo Zeya Thaw, 41, was arrested last November based on information from people detained for shooting security personnel, state media said at the time. He was also accused of being a key figure in a network that carried out what the military described as terrorist attacks in Yangon, the country’s biggest city.
Phyo Zeya Thaw had been a hip-hop musician before becoming a member of the Generation Wave political movement formed in 2007. He was jailed in 2008 under a previous military government after being accused of illegal association and possession of foreign currency.
Also executed was Kyaw Min Yu, a 53-year-old democracy activist better known as Ko Jimmy, for violating the counterterrorism law. He was one of the leaders of the 88 Generation Students Group, veterans of a failed 1988 popular uprising against military rule.
He already had spent more than a dozen years behind bars for political activism before his arrest in Yangon last October. He had been put on a wanted list for social media postings that allegedly incited unrest, and state media said he was accused of terrorist acts including mine attacks and of heading a group called Moon Light Operation to carry out urban guerrilla attacks.
The other two, Hla Myo Aung and Aung Thura Zaw, were convicted of torturing and killing a woman in March 2021 who they allegedly believed was a military informer.
Elaine Pearson, acting Asia director of Human Rights Watch, said the legal proceedings against the four had been “grossly unjust and politically motivated military trials.”
“The junta’s barbarity and callous disregard for human life aims to chill the anti-coup protest movement,” she said following the announcement of the executions.
Thomas Andrews, an independent U.N.-appointed expert on human rights who had condemned the decision to go ahead with the executions when they were announced in June, called for a strong international response.
“I am outraged and devastated at the news of the junta’s execution of Myanmar patriots and champions of human rights and decency,” he said in a statement. “These individuals were tried, convicted and sentenced by a military tribunal without the right of appeal and reportedly without legal counsel, in violation of international human rights law.”
Myanmar’s Foreign Ministry had rejected the wave of criticism that followed its announcement in June, declaring that its judicial system is fair and that Phyo Zeya Thaw and Kyaw Min Yu were “proven to be masterminds of orchestrating full-scale terrorist attacks against innocent civilians to instill fear and disrupt peace and stability.”
“They killed at least 50 people,” military spokesperson Maj. Gen. Zaw Min Tun said at a televised news conference last month. He said the decision to hang the prisoners conformed with the rule of law and the purpose was to prevent similar incidents in the future.
The military’s seizure of power from Suu Kyi’s elected government triggered peaceful protests that soon escalated to armed resistance and then to widespread fighting that some U.N. experts characterize as a civil war.
Some resistance groups have engaged in assassinations, drive-by shootings and bombings in urban areas. Mainstream opposition organizations generally disavow such activities, while supporting armed resistance in rural areas that are more often subject to brutal military attacks.
The last judicial execution to be carried out in Myanmar is generally believed to have been of another political offender, student leader Salai Tin Maung Oo, in 1976 under a previous military government led by dictator Ne Win.
In 2014, the sentences of prisoners on death row were commuted to life imprisonment, but several dozen convicts received death sentences between then and last year’s takeover.
The Assistance Association for Political Prisoners, a non-governmental organization that tracks killing and arrests, said Friday that 2,114 civilians have been killed by security forces since the military takeover.

48 million Americans have hearing loss, many still don't have accessible communications required by ADA
ROCKVILLE, Md., July 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA) – the leading voice for the growing number of Americans with hearing loss – marks the 32nd anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), with a call for more progress on accessible communication. HLAA participated in the passage of the landmark 1990 civil rights legislation, requiring equal access for people with disabilities in public spaces, jobs, schools, transportation, and government services.
HLAA was instrumental in getting accessible communications, such as captioning and assistive listening systems, included in the ADA over three decades ago, and still advocates on behalf of the 48 million Americans who have hearing loss. HLAA wants people with hearing loss to understand their rights by visiting hearingloss.org/KnowYourRights.
"There's no question that accessibility has improved over the last 32 years, but there's a long way to go, especially when it comes to accessibility for invisible disabilities like hearing loss," says Barbara Kelley, executive director of HLAA. "We've become accustomed to looking for curb cutouts and wheelchair-accessible elevators, but many people don't know that those same public places are also required to have assistive listening systems for people with hearing loss," she explains.
Public places like movie theatres, lecture halls, stadiums — and anywhere with a public address system — are required to provide access to special listening systems and devices for patrons with hearing loss, but according to HLAA, equipment is often missing, broken or non-existent.
Another area that often lacks accessibility is the workplace. A recent survey of people with hearing loss conducted by HLAA found 44% reported accessibility issues on the job, which can lead to frustration, isolation, and job loss. Accessible communication in health care is also a common and serious problem, according to HLAA.
"The ADA requires both employers and health care providers to provide accessible listening systems or captioning to people with hearing loss on request, but these systems are often missing or inadequate," says Lise Hamlin, HLAA's director of public policy. "You can imagine the dangers of not fully understanding your doctor's instructions because your telehealth appointment doesn't have captions available, or you were unable to get the proper listening device in the emergency room to know what's happening to a loved one," adds Hamlin.
HLAA notes that accessibility doesn't always mean providing a sign language interpreter, since many who have hearing loss don't use American Sign Language (ASL). Accessible technology — like hearing loop systems that feed into hearing aids or amplifying receivers, or real-time captioning that provides the text of the spoken word — may be needed instead.
HLAA is urging people to learn what accommodations are available, by visiting hearingloss.org/KnowYourRights, and taking steps to file a complaint if they're not provided.
"After 32 years, it's time to demand more. People with hearing loss, and all people with disabilities, deserve to have equal access to public spaces, work, school, and health care. It's up to people with disabilities themselves to know their rights and file complaints if they don't get access," says Barbara Kelley.
HLAA also urges all Americans to get their hearing checked, and not to wait to get treated. Untreated hearing loss is linked to cognitive decline, depression, dementia, and falls. HLAA provides ongoing employment and health care access resources, to empower people to live full lives with hearing loss.
The Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA) is the nation's leading organization representing the growing number of people with hearing loss in the U.S. Its mission is to open the world of communication to people with hearing loss through information, education, support, and advocacy.
HLAA was instrumental in the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) more than 30 years ago, and still fights for the rights of people with hearing loss at local and national levels and offers support online and in chapters across the country.
HLAA's Walk4Hearing events raise awareness and funds in cities across the country and offer support to families dealing with hearing loss. HLAA also publishes Hearing Life magazine and other news and important resources at hearingloss.org.

NBC News does us the favor of an update on Skeet Jones, the (allegedly) cattle-rustlin’ County Judge of Loving County.
On a December day in 2021, Loving County Judge Skeet Jones, 71, climbed atop an oilfield tank surrounded by wide-open Texas desert dressed in a business suit and toting a pair of binoculars, hoping to spot an elusive black bull.
What Jones most likely didn’t realize from his steel perch as he scanned the horizon: He, too, was being watched as part of a cattle-rustling sting operation devised by special rangers with the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association.
The backstory of what led to the arrests of Jones, a former sheriff’s deputy and two ranch hands in May is chronicled in a stack of warrants obtained by NBC News. The documents detail a yearlong investigation, replete with confidential informants and a sting operation involving a reddish-brown cow, her calf and the black yearling bull — all equipped by the special rangers with microchips.
The warrants allege that Jones and the ranch hands rounded up stray livestock in Loving and Pecos counties and sold them at auctions in Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico without first notifying the Sheriff’s Office to find their rightful owners — a violation of a state law.
Jones, the scion of a prominent ranching family and the top elected official in this sparsely populated West Texas county for the past 15 years, is charged with three felony counts of livestock theft and one count of engaging in organized crime — potentially facing decades in prison if convicted. (Jones and the other defendants declined to comment. Jones’ lawyer did not return phone calls.)
But Jones’ supporters say he was set up. “There’s no question about that,” said Steve Simonsen, who is the Loving County attorney and married to a cousin of Jones’. “If you’re a special ranger and you’re really interested in stopping rustling, you don’t sneak out in the middle of the night and unload a bunch of cattle that you secretly microchipped,” Simonsen said.
Jeremy Fuchs, a spokesman for the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association, a cadre of peace officers who specialize in agricultural crimes, said the organization stands by the arrests of the judge and the other defendants. Fuchs said the investigation is ongoing and could result in more charges.
Randy Reynolds, the district attorney in charge of prosecuting felony cases, did not return phone calls.
None of the defendants have been indicted by a grand jury, which is the next step in the legal process. Loving County, the least-populated county in the continental U.S., had 57 residents as of the latest U.S. Census Bureau estimate. Simonsen said the county hasn’t successfully empaneled a grand jury in about a year.
The latest attempt on July 7 to get enough qualified grand jurors failed for two reasons, he said. Under Texas law, grand jurors cannot be related by blood or marriage. And they are required to reside within the county, which has become a flashpoint since the Loving County justice of the peace in May sent four prospective jurors — including Jones’ son and a county commissioner — to jail on a contempt order for allegedly not living there.
“Who wants to show up for jury duty, which a lot of people don’t really want to do anyway, and get a free trip to the jail house?” Simonsen asked.
Jones and his family members — through blood or marriage — have a tight grip on the local government, serving as judge, clerk, county attorney and constable. This fall, Jones is running unopposed for re-election, but some of his allies, including his sister, are facing challengers for the first time in years, amid heated debate over how the county should be run.
See here and here for the background, and be sure to read the rest because as I said in that first post, the word “bonkers” is what keeps coming to mind about all this. Among the things I learned:
1. Skeet Jones’ father, who served as Loving County Sheriff for 28 years, was known as “Punk”. You keep on West Texasing, Loving County.
2. The penalty for killing a stray cow is the same in Texas as it is for stealing one – up to ten years in prison.
3. Nearly twice as many people are registered to vote in Loving County as live there. You should read that story, too.
4. The bit at the end about some other elected members of the Jones family facing challengers in the November election made me want to look at who’s running for what in this famously Republican county, but suffice it to say that the Loving County elections page is not up to the task; Google wasn’t any more help. It may be that some of the characters involved here are still listed as Democrats, in the ancestral way that nearly all of Texas was once Democratic, but with Loving voting 90% plus for Republicans in federal and state elections, that doesn’t mean much. Nonetheless, I’d really like to know more about this.
5. Yes, there were bait cows involved in this sting. Really, read the whole story.
I actually got a press release about this one – I guess someone at NBC News had noticed my previous blogging on the topic. If that’s the case, all I can say is keep up the good work, y’all. I cannot wait till the next chapter in this story. | http://www.offthekuff.com/wp/?p=106337 | 2022-07-25T11:12:03Z | http://www.offthekuff.com/wp/?p=106337 | true | 1 |
Grantham Running Club duo run four races in two weeks
More news, no ads
LEARN MORETwo runners from Grantham Running Club made their way to Nottingham for four races that were included in the GP series organised by Holme Pierrepont Running Club.
For Robin Atter and Marj Spendlow, this was their first time competing in the Notts GP series and the daunting task of running four races in two weeks.
Race one was held at Rushcliffe Country Park on June 28 over a four-mile multi-terrain course of grass and gravel paths.
The 246 competitors ran two laps and Robin completed the race in 23min 58sec. Marj put in a time of 33:21 on what was a sunny but breezy day.
Race two at Home Pierrepont was a 10k on a flat course around the lake and roads. The day was overcast with a tail wind during the first mile which turned into a headwind when runners changed direction.
GRC chairman Andrew Pask joined the race as a last minute impulsive entry after feeling good the previous week. He was first back for GRC in 40:48 which was where he was hoping to be.
Marj took on the course for the first time and was very happy with a time of 51:12, beating her Skegness 10k time by more than a minute.
Robin was a little deflated with his time of 43:35 but had not long completed the Edinburgh Marathon, so was still building the pace back up in his legs.
Race three was a 5k along the Victoria Embankment where runners ran towards Trent Bridge, then doubled back on themselves to run towards the Wilford Toll Bridge, then back again.
Weather conditions were lovely with only a slight breeze and the sun shone to make the temperature ideal.
A total of 263 runners took on the very flat riverside circuit and GRC member Gav Meadows came home first for the club in 20:06, followed by Robin who crossed the line in 20:48, then Marj in a time of 25:43.
Race four was the University of Nottingham five miler.
The final leg of the series saw 242 runners racing around the university campus, a tough two lap course comprising many hills before finishing on grass.
Robin set out to treat it as a fun run due to tired legs and completed it in an impressive time of 37:51. He really enjoyed this event and felt good with the legs slowly coming back to pace form.
Marj had never done a five miler before but finished in an impressive time of 44:53, which she was especially pleased with given the hilly nature of the course.
The overall winners of the series were Dan Nugent and Caitlin Bradbury.
Robin took 31st place in the overall standings out of 147 competitors. Marj was 77th out of 147and sixth in her age category. | https://www.granthamjournal.co.uk/sport/club-runners-take-part-in-gp-series-9265618/ | 2022-07-25T11:13:25Z | https://www.granthamjournal.co.uk/sport/club-runners-take-part-in-gp-series-9265618/ | false | 1 |
