With the purchase of FA-50 combat aircraft from South Korea concluded, Poland’s Defence Ministry expects the fighter jets to touch down in Poland as early as next year.
Poland “cannot wait” for new aircraft, Poland’s Defence Minister Mariusz Błaszczak said explaining the need to buy the FA-50s. He added that the jets should arrive in Poland as early as next year, while 180 K2 tanks would arrive already this year.
Speaking to the Defence24.pl website, Minister Błaszczak, who is also a Deputy Prime Minister, said the F-16’s producer, Lockheed Martin, was currently focused on producing the F-35, adding that he had spoken to Poland’s US partners many times on the subject.
Mr Błaszczak told the website the decision to buy equipment from South Korea was based on the hardware’s effectiveness, speed of delivery and benefits to the industry.
“The contract we managed to negotiate with the Koreans combines all these elements,” he said. “Other equipment producers were not in a position to deliver us arms of that quality in such a short time and with such broad cooperation with the Polish defence industry.”
“The contract for K2 tanks has been divided into two parts,” Mr Błaszczak said. “In the first batch, we will get 180 tanks; deliveries will start this year. The second stage is over 800 tanks of the K2PL standard, which will be produced in Poland by the Polish defence industry thanks to a transfer of technology we negotiated. Eventually, the tanks received in the first stage will also be Polonised and brought to the K2PL standard.”
Engineering support was also included in the tank deal, Mr Błaszczak stressed.
Poland’s defence minister went on to say that 48 K9 howitzers would arrive this year as part of another deal divided into stages, in order to mend a gap that opened as a result of the donation of howitzers to Ukraine.
“Next we will order more than 600 howitzers, which will be produced in Poland to the K9PL standard,” Minister Błaszczak said.
“It’s worth noting that from the outset the K9 will be equipped with Polish communication systems and plugged into the Topaz combat management system. The transfer of technology concerning the FA-50 enables us to create a service centre in Poland. We negotiated the contract in cooperation with [Polish defence group] PGZ in order for Polish industry to make use of the opportunity to the maximum.”
Mr Błaszczak said the decision to buy three squadrons of the FA-50 was based on recommendations from Polish military pilots and their lightness and multi-functionality. He went on to stress that the aircraft was based on the F-16 technology, so the infrastructure Poland already has can be adapted seamlessly. He added that the FA-50 is an ideal aircraft to train pilots to fly the F-16 and that they would need just a few hours to adapt to the latter.

A Majority of Americans Have Traveled in the Last Year and Confidence in Taking an Annual Vacation Hits Record Levels
RICHMOND, Va., July 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Now more than ever, Americans are claiming their vacation days and making time to travel a priority. According to Allianz Partners USA's 14th Annual Vacation Confidence Index*, a majority of Americans have taken a vacation in the last year, marking a significant milestone in the survey's decade-plus-long history. In fact, they have never been as steadfast about the importance of taking an annual vacation, or more confident in using their hard-earned PTO days.

Defining a vacation as leisure travel of at least a week to a destination 100 miles or more away from home, the survey revealed that 57% of Americans have taken a vacation in the last year. Up from 44% last year, 2022 marks the highest percentage of Americans who reported traveling in the last year since 2009, when the survey was first conducted. Of the respondents who have traveled in the last year, two in 10 (22%) traveled in the three months leading up to the survey, with the 18-34 year old demographic (29%) leading this trend.
Signifying a new norm of Americans prioritizing vacationing, Allianz's survey also found that three-quarters of Americans (74%) consider an annual vacation important, a huge leap from 60% in 2019 and one point higher than last year. Mirroring this trend, confidence in taking a vacation this year also has never been higher, with 65% of Americans expressing positive intentions to vacation, up two points from last year and a stunning 13 points over the highest prior year surveyed (52% in 2014).
Allianz Partners USA also defined a "vacation deficit" as the percentage of Americans who say an annual vacation is important to them, but are not confident they will take one this year. In 2022, the percentage of Americans who are experiencing a vacation deficit returns to 19% compared to 44% in 2020 during the height of the pandemic. With more Americans back to traveling, and with vacation intentions remaining strong, the vacation deficit is nearing an all-time low.
Looking at those who have been waiting longer to travel (43% of Americans have not taken a vacation in a year or more, down 13 points from last year), older Americans ages 55+ are demonstrating more hesitancy (55%) than their younger counterparts (41% for ages 35-54 and 31% for ages 18-34), as are lower-income Americans (56% of those making less than $50,000/year versus 34% who make more than $100,000).
"Our latest Vacation Confidence Index proves that taking an annual vacation has never been more important to Americans, and we're seeing record levels of confidence that they'll travel between now and the end of the year," said Daniel Durazo, director of external communications at Allianz Partners USA. "Instead of banking those PTO days, Americans are viewing their vacation time as a much-needed getaway to support their mental health."
The Vacation Confidence Index has been conducted each summer since 2009 by national polling firm Ipsos Public Affairs on behalf of Allianz Partners USA.
In March 2021, Allianz Partners announced enhancements** to many of its travel insurance products in most states through an Epidemic Coverage Endorsement. Products that include this endorsement may provide coverage to customers who become ill with COVID-19 or a future epidemic, are individually ordered to quarantine, or are denied boarding due to a suspected illness. These products also may cover emergency medical care and transportation or provide reimbursement for change fees and loyalty points deposit fees if the customer becomes ill with an epidemic disease. Availability of the Epidemic Coverage Endorsement, and specific covered reasons under that endorsement, varies by product and by state. See your plan for details.
Allianz Partners offers travel insurance through most major U.S. airlines, leading travel agents, online travel agencies, hotel companies, cruise lines and directly to consumers. For more information on Allianz and available travel policies, please visit http://www.allianztravelinsurance.com/.
*Methodology: These are the findings of an Ipsos poll conducted on behalf of Allianz Partners USA. For this survey, a sample of 2,011 Americans aged 18+ was interviewed from May 2 to 4, 2022, via the Ipsos Online Omnibus. The precision of Ipsos online polls is measured using a credibility interval. In this case, the results are accurate to within +/- 2.5 percentage points, 19 times out of 20, of what the results would have been had all American adults been polled. Quota sampling and weighting were employed in order to balance demographics and ensure that the sample's composition reflects that of the actual U.S. population, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau. Credibility intervals are wider among subsets

WASHINGTON – The U.S. economy is caught in an awkward, painful place. A confusing one, too.
Growth appears to be sputtering, home sales are tumbling and economists warn of a potential recession ahead. But consumers are still spending, businesses keep posting profits and the economy keeps adding hundreds of thousands of jobs each month.
In the midst of it all, prices have accelerated to four-decade highs, and the Federal Reserve is desperately trying to douse the inflationary flames with higher interest rates. That's making borrowing more expensive for households and businesses.
The Fed hopes to pull off the triple axel of central banking: Slow the economy just enough to curb inflation without causing a recession. Many economists doubt the Fed can manage that feat, a so-called soft landing.
Surging inflation is most often a side effect of a red-hot economy, not the current tepid pace of growth. Today's economic moment conjures dark memories of the 1970s, when scorching inflation co-existed, in a kind of toxic brew, with slow growth. It hatched an ugly new term: stagflation.
The United States isn’t there yet. Though growth appears to be faltering, the job market still looks quite strong. And consumers, whose spending accounts for nearly 70% of economic output, are still spending, though at a slower pace.
So the Fed and economic forecasters are stuck in uncharted territory. They have no experience analyzing the economic damage from a global pandemic. The results so far have been humbling. They failed to anticipate the economy's blazing recovery from the 2020 recession — or the raging inflation it unleashed.
Even after inflation accelerated in spring of last year, Fed Chair Jerome Powell and many other forecasters downplayed the price surge as merely a “transitory” consequence of supply bottlenecks that would fade soon.
It didn’t.
Now the central bank is playing catch-up. It's raised its benchmark short-term interest rate three times since March. Last month, the Fed increased its rate by three-quarters of a percentage point, its biggest hike since 1994. The Fed’s policymaking committee is expected to announce another three-quarter-point hike Wednesday.
Economists now worry that the Fed, having underestimated inflation, will overreact and drive rates ever higher, imperiling the economy. They caution the Fed against tightening credit too aggressively.
“We don’t think a sledgehammer is necessary,’’ Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, said this week.
Here’s a look at the economic vital signs that are sending frustratingly mixed signals to policymakers, businesses and forecasters:
___
THE OVERALL ECONOMY
As measured by the nation's gross domestic product — the broadest gauge of output — the economy has looked positively sickly so far this year. And steadily higher borrowing rates, engineered by the Fed, threaten to make things worse.
“Recession is likely,’’ said Vincent Reinhart, a former Fed economist who is now chief economist at Dreyfus and Mellon.
After growing at a 37-year high 5.7% last year, the economy shrank at a 1.6% annual pace from January through March. For the April-June quarter, forecasters surveyed by the data firm FactSet estimate that growth equaled a scant 0.95% annual rate from April through June. (The government will issue its first estimate of April-June growth on Thursday.)
Some economists foresee another economic contraction for the second quarter. If that happened, it would further escalate recession fears. One informal definition of recession is two straight quarters of declining GDP. But the most widely accepted authority is the National Bureau of Economic Research, whose Business Cycle Dating Committee assesses a wide range of factors before declaring the death of an economic expansion and the birth of a recession. It defines a recession as “a significant decline in economic activity that is spread across the economy and that lasts more than a few months.”
In any case, the economic drop in the January-March quarter looked worse than it actually was. It was caused by factors that don’t mirror the economy’s underlying health: A widening trade deficit, reflecting consumers’ robust appetite for imports, shaved 3.2 percentage points off first-quarter growth. A post-holiday-season drop in company inventories subtracted an additional 0.4 percentage point.
Consumer spending, measured at a modest 1.8% annual rate from January through March, is still growing. Americans are losing confidence, though: Their assessment of economic conditions six months from now reached its lowest point since 2013 in June, according to the Conference Board, a research group.
___
INFLATION
What’s agitating consumers is no secret: They’re reeling from painful prices at gasoline stations, grocery stores and auto dealerships.
The Labor Department’s consumer price index skyrocketed 9.1% in June from a year earlier, a pace not seen since 1981. The price of gasoline has jumped 61% over the past year, airfares 34%, eggs 33%.
And despite widespread pay raises, prices are surging faster than wages. In June, average hourly earnings slid 3.6% from a year earlier adjusting for inflation, the 15th straight monthly drop from a year earlier.
And on Monday, Walmart, the nation’s largest retailer, lowered its profit outlook, saying that higher gas and food prices were forcing shoppers to spend less on many discretionary items, like new clothing.
The price spikes have been ignited by a combination of brisk consumer demand and global shortages of factory parts, food, energy and labor. And so the Fed is now aggressively raising rates.
“There is a risk of overdoing it,’’ warned Ellen Gaske, an economist at PGIM Fixed Income. “Because inflation is so bad right now, they are focused on the here and now of each monthly CPI report. The latest one showed no letup.’’
___
JOBS
Despite inflation, rate hikes and declining consumer confidence, one thing has remained solid: The job market, the most crucial pillar of the economy. Employers added a record 6.7 million jobs last year. And so far this year, they're adding an average of 457,000 more each month.
The unemployment rate, at 3.6% for four straight months, is near a half-century low. Employers have posted at least 11 million job openings for six consecutive months. The government says there are two job openings, on average, for every unemployed American, the highest such ratio on record.
Job security and the opportunity to advance to better positions are providing the confidence and financial wherewithal for Americans to spend and keep the job machine churning.
Still, it’s unclear how long a hiring boom will last. In keeping up their spending in the face of high inflation, Americans have been drawing down the heavy savings they built up during the pandemic. That won't last indefinitely. And the Fed's rate hikes mean it’s increasingly expensive to buy a house, a car or a major appliance on credit.
The weekly number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits, a proxy for layoffs and a bellwether for where the job market may be headed, reached 251,000 in the most recent reading. That's still quite low by historic standards, but it's the most since November.
___
MANUFACTURING
COVID-19 kept millions of Americans cooped up at home. But it didn’t stop them from spending. Unable to go out to restaurants, bars and movie theaters, people instead loaded up on factory-made goods — appliances, furniture, exercise equipment.
Factories have enjoyed 25 consecutive months of expansion, according to the Institute for Supply Management’s manufacturing index. Customer demand has been strong, though supply chain bottlenecks have made it hard for factories to fill orders.
Now, the factory boom is showing signs of strain. The ISM's index dropped last month to its lowest level in two years. New orders declined. Factory hiring dropped for a second straight month.
A key factor is that the Fed's rate hikes are heightening borrowing costs and the value of the U.S. dollar against other currencies, a move that makes American goods more expensive overseas.
“We doubt the outlook for manufacturing will improve any time soon,’’ Andrew Hunter, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics, wrote this month. “Weakening global growth and the drag from the stronger dollar look set to keep U.S. manufacturers under pressure over the coming months.’’
___
HOUSING
No sector of the U.S. economy is more sensitive to interest rate increases than housing. And the Fed’s hikes and the prospect of steadily tighter credit are taking a toll.
Mortgage rates have risen along with the Fed’s benchmark rate. The average rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage hit 5.54% last week, nearly double its level a year earlier.
The government reported Tuesday that sales of new single-family homes fell 8% last month from May and 17% from June 2021. Sales of previously occupied homes dropped in June for a fifth straight month. They're down more than 14% from June 2021.
In response to the rapidly slowing home market, builders are cutting back. Construction of single-family homes dropped last month to its lowest level since March 2020, at the height of pandemic lockdowns.

LANSING, Mich. — Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has signed a pair of bills approving new parking signs for those with disabilities.
The Disability Network/Michigan (DN/M) says the new signs offer better representation for people who rely on wheelchairs.
We’re also told the word “handicapped” will be eliminated from signs.
DN/M says the old design was in use since 1969.
“We are pleased the Legislature and the governor agreed that it was time for an update,” said DN/M Board of Directors Vice Chair Alex Gossage. “As we’ve demonstrated, advocating for people with disabilities did not end when the ADA was signed into law. We will continue to share our message that our communities thrive when we all are included and represented accurately.”
The DN/M says businesses are not obligated to replace their signs in the immediate future but must switch to the new signs when installing new ones. | https://www.fox17online.com/news/local-news/michigan/governor-whitmer-approves-new-parking-sign-for-those-with-disabilities | 2022-07-26T15:25:37Z | https://www.fox17online.com/news/local-news/michigan/governor-whitmer-approves-new-parking-sign-for-those-with-disabilities | true | 3 |

They are showdowns that didn't need to happen — rival studios staring each other down, refusing to blink.
In 1998, Earth-snuffing asteroids got blown up in the nick of time by nuclear warheads, not once but twice, in Armageddon and Deep Impact. That same year, animated insects skittered onto movie screens in Antz and A Bug's Life — and just a year earlier, dueling lava flows erupted in Dante's Peak and Volcano.
And in 2013, Jesse Eisenberg starred in The Double, and Jake Gyllenhaal in Enemy, each as a man tormented by his doppelganger (and wouldn't you know that Enemy was based on a novel called...wait for it... The Double.)
Hollywood is not a big town. Everyone knows what everyone else is doing, and movies that cost millions of dollars require many people and many months of development. Yet they still ended up in '87/'88 with four body-switching comedies: George Burns turned 18 Again!; fathers Judge Reinhold and Dudley Moore each switched places with sons in Vice Versa and Like Father Like Son, respectively; and in Big, an amusement park wish turned a little boy into Tom Hanks.
This is not, from a business standpoint, smart. One film will inevitably come out on top (only Big attracted substantial crowds in that mid-'80s body-switching smackdown) and arguably nobody emerges unscathed.
And yet....
Here's a (far-from-definitive) list of 50 conceptual twins that went head-to-head for no discernible reason.

Former Gainesville police chief passes torch to Lonnie Scott at swearing-in ceremony
Silence traveled through a small auditorium in the Santa Fe College Blount Center as Lonnie Scott raised his right hand being sworn in as the 26th chief of police of the Gainesville Police Department.
His daughter, Karlene, stood beside him while his four grandchildren watched from the audience with close to 100 others.
"It's a combination of 37 years giving all I could give," Scott said. "For my bosses to feel that's what they wanted and for my coworkers to have that confidence in me. It's very rewarding and I have to maintain humility in this profession that few are called to enter."
New chief in town: Longtime Gainesville officer Lonnie Scott named permanent department police chief
Tony Jones named chief operating officer: Gainesville City Hall shakeup cuts 3 top jobs, reorganizes departments
People's investigation: Family, friends launch 'people's investigation' to defend Terrell Bradley following arrest
On July 14, interim City Manager Cynthia Curry named Scott as the police chief, after he previously served as an interim during a time the city saw a reduction in crime.
Scott has held various roles throughout his near four decades in law enforcement, which includes patrol and operational management. He is a member of the Florida Police Chiefs Association, the Black on Black Crime Task Force, and the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives.
His predecessor, former chief Toney Jones, who transitioned into the role of Gainesville's chief operating officer earlier this year, will return back to law enforcement as a special advisor for juvenile justice programs.
"It is an ending of sort as my tenure as a police chief, but a transition of sorts into my new position," Jones said to the crowd. "It's a new beginning, a new era."
The ceremony opened with remarks from Chief of Santa Fe College Police Department Ed Book who welcomed the audience to the college's new location, later followed by Mayor Lauren Poe, who referred to the two men as the city's "juggernauts of law enforcement."
"These two men are the very best our city has to offer," Poe said. "They have done all that we have asked, and much that we have not."
Gainesville City Commissioner Cynthia Chestnut said the city is fortunate to be able to transition from one quality leader to another.
"We're going to have a commitment to neighborhood policing and we're going to have a commitment to children," she said.
For Scott, the new role is a culmination of hard work and sacrifice but is also bittersweet, family members say.
The long-time officer lost his wife, his rock, just two years ago, their daughter Karlene Scott said.
"I know that she's watching us from above and this is something that she's always wanted to see him doing," Karlene Scott said. "I know she's smiling down as he does that. We're all very proud of him."
GPD Lt. Lonnie Scott, Jr., Scott's son, said he couldn't be more proud of his father.
"He put a lot of work into the community," he said. "He's been persistent in being a father figure to not just me but to everyone he makes contact with."
As the head of the department, Scott said he wants to continue to improve community relationships and focus on neighborhood policing. His first big test came days before he was given the permanent chief role.
Terrell Bradley incident
On the evening of July 10, a patrol officer pulled over Terrell Bradley, 30, in northeast Gainesville. The officer said Bradley elbowed him and took off, leaving behind his ID and a stolen firearm.
GPD officers eventually located Bradley hiding in some bushes after he was mauled by a police K-9 who bite his face, resulting in the eye having to be surgically removed.
Bradley's case sparked outrage and demand for answers, including protests around the GPD headquarters. Scott initially said the investigation would be complete within 10 days but walked that back by extending the inquiry to 90 days.
An outside organization is investigating the incident to see whether GPD followed its policies, something the department maintains it did.
Scott addressed the incident with reporters Tuesday.
"I think that's probably the most fair thing that they can do and to try to reinstitute that confidence that we need from our community that we're going to do the right thing," he said.

Kylie Jenner, the youngest of the Kardashian-Jenner sisters that the internet loves and hates to obsess over, can move markets with her social media posts. Among the 360 million people following her is Instagram chief Adam Mosseri, who appeared like a genie from a lamp Tuesday morning after she voiced her displeasure with changes he’s made to the social network.
On Monday, Jenner decried recent tweaks to the photo-sharing app, a platform where she is the third most followed account and most followed woman. In a story—published four days after Instagram announced that all new videos under 15 minutes would be turned into Reels—Jenner shared a post from photographer Tati Bruening that evoked former President Donald Trump: “Make Instagram Instagram Again.”
“Make Instagram Instagram Again. (stop trying to be tiktok i just want to see cute photos of my friends.) Sincerely, Everyone,” the post read. Jenner added her own plea to the story, writing: “PLEASEEEEEEE.”
Her sisters, Kim and Kourtney Kardashian, also shared Bruening’s post, adding “pretty please” and “yes please,” respectively.
Bruening’s post, which went up over the weekend, called on folks to work together to “bring back the old Instagram.” The photographer told users to share her post in their stories and sign her petition on Change.org. Directed at Instagram and its parent company Meta, the petition asks the powers that be to bring back chronological timelines, stop mimicking TikTok, go back to an algorithm that favors photos over videos, and be a platform that listens to creators.
“We have TikTok for a reason, and let’s face it, the only reels uploaded are recycled TikToks and content that the world has already seen,” Bruening wrote. “What’s innovative and unique about old stale content? Nothing!”
As of publication, the petition had more than 136,000 signatures.
The fact that Jenner complained about Instagram’s changes may seem trivial, but it’s a red flag that something is wrong. When she tweeted to complain about Snapchat’s new layout in 2018 and said she wasn’t using the app anymore, the company lost $1.3 billion.
Mosseri, head honcho at Instagram, is no doubt familiar with this incident. He rushed to address the concerns raised by Jenner, Bruening, and other users.
In a Reel posted on Tuesday morning, Mosseri said Instagram was experimenting with several different changes to the app. Upon hearing users’ concerns, he wanted to clarify a few things, he said. First, he pointed out that there a small percentage of users that are seeing a full-screen version of the Instagram feed. This is something the app is testing, and Mosseri acknowledged that it’s “not yet good” and would require more fine tuning if the company decided to roll it out to all users.
When it comes to shift away from photos, which encompass a big chunk of recent complaints, Mosseri stated that he “love[d] photos” and that Instagram would continue to be a place for photos in the future. Yet, he remained committed to the platform’s shift to video and maintained that this would happen even if Instagram changed nothing.
“That said, I need to be honest, I do believe that more and more of Instagram is going to become video over time,” Mosseri said. “We see this even if we change nothing. We see this even if you just look at chronological feed. If you look at what people share on Instagram, that’s shifting more and more to videos over time. If you look at what people like and consume and view on Instagram, that’s also shifting more and more to video over time, even when we stop changing anything. So, we’re going to have to lean into that shift, while continuing to support photos.”
Lastly, Mosseri addressed the slew of recommended posts and videos Instagram was serving up to users lately from people they do not follow (in excess, in my opinion). The Instagram chief defended recommendations as a way to help users discover new things but admitted that if users were seeing content that they were uninterested in, that meant the app was “doing a bad job ranking.”
Mosseri said that Instagram would continue to try to improve its recommendations—no doubt inspired by TikTok’s addictive algorithm—because they were critical to help creators, especially small creators, reach new audiences and grow their followings.
“Now, this is a lot of change all at once, but know that a number of things about Instagram are going to stay the same. We’re going to stay committed to creators more broadly. We’re going to stay committed to supporting photos. We’re going to stay in a place where we try and put your friend’s content at the top of feed and at the front of stories whenever possible,” he said. “But we’re also going to need to evolve, because the world is changing quickly and we’re going to have to change along with it.”
In case you were keeping track, while Mosseri was diplomatic in his response, he basically said, “I hear your concerns… but yeah, not happening.” | https://gizmodo.com/kylie-jenner-instagram-kim-kardashian-reels-changes-ceo-1849331509 | 2022-07-26T15:32:21Z | https://gizmodo.com/kylie-jenner-instagram-kim-kardashian-reels-changes-ceo-1849331509 | false | 1 |

Van Vleuten loses time as sickness dents Tour de France Femmes hopes
By Patrick Fletcher Contributions from Kirsten Frattini published
Pre-race favourite had to stop for emergency nature break on road to Épernay
After losing ground to a couple of dangerous riders in Monday's hectic finale, Annemiek van Vleuten's hopes at the Tour de France Femmes took a rather more worrying turn for the worse on stage 3.
The Dutchwoman, the major pre-race favourite for the overall title, reached the finish line atop the steep ramp in Épernay with shoulders swinging, weaving across the road as she fought to limit her losses.
The explanation turned out to be sickness. Cyclingnews saw a visibly upset Van Vleuten referencing stomach problems when talking with team staff back at the Movistar bus. She declined to speak to reporters there but later offered an explanation through her team.
"It started two hours after the first stage [on Sunday], I started to feel not good. I could not eat or drink, and I was super tired. I felt empty," she said.
"Yesterday I felt very bad but it was actually a victory to finish the stage like that. Today I had my first normal breakfast so I felt it would be fine, but you pay the price for being sick for 24 hours."
Eurosport's Iris Slappendel, who commentates from an in-race motorbike, reported that she had seen Van Vleuten stop for a "very necessary" nature break during the stage.
Still, Van Vleuten had been strong enough to make the key selection over the Côte de Mutigny with 15km to go on a punchy finale in the champagne hills. However, on the penultimate climb of the Mont Bernon with 5km to go she started to struggle, and was dropped from the lead group of a dozen riders.
The Giro Donne champion managed to claw her way back on but was distanced again as soon as the ramp to the finish line kicked up with 350 metres to go.
She crossed the line in 10th place, 20 seconds down on stage winner Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig (FDJ-Suez-Futuroscope), and also conceded 18 seconds to the race leader, Marianne Vos (Jumbo-Visma), as well as Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio (SD Worx), Silvia Persico (Valcar-Travel & Service), Elisa Longo Borghini (Trek-Segafredo), and Katarzyna Niewiadoma (Canyon-SRAM).
Although she moved up to ninth overall, she is now 1:14 off Vos' lead, and just under a minute behind Longo Borghini and Niewiadoma, who stole 30 seconds in a late break on stage 2.
"Today I still felt not ok. I had problems to follow on the last climbs. The first climb I was still fine, so that's a sign I'm getting better," Van Vleuten said.
"I lost some time again but yesterday when I woke up I didn't think about finishing the race. Now I'm still in the race and getting better and better, so I'm happy so far. I don't have control. I can only focus on what I have in my control and that's focusing on getting better."

(Reuters) -Biogen Inc's treatment for a rare type of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) was accepted for review by the U.S. health regulator, weeks after follow-up analyses of data from a failed late-stage study suggested the drug was likely to work.
The company said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's decision on its treatment, tofersen, which will go through a priority review, is expected by Jan. 25, 2023. The FDA also plans to hold a meeting of its outside experts to discuss the application.
Biogen is seeking approval of tofersen for ALS patients with mutations in a specific gene that leads to accumulation of toxic levels of a protein called SOD1. If approved, it will be the first treatment to target a genetic cause of ALS.
Tofersen in October failed to meet the main goal of a late-stage study and did not show statistically significant improvement in the functional status of patients with fast-progressing ALS.
Later in June, the company said analyses of data from the study suggested that early administration was effective in slowing progression of ALS in patients with SOD1 mutation.
Biogen also said it was seeking approval for tofersen based on changes produced in a protein called neurofilament during the study which the company says is "reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit."
"We do think that tofersen - symbolically - represents a highly important benchmark for FDA flexibility in neurodegeneration," said Stifel analyst Paul Matteis.
Biogen is seeking approval under the FDA's accelerated approval pathway.
The pathway, mainly for rare diseases that have had no effective treatments, has come under increasing scrutiny after the FDA used it last year to approve Biogen's controversial Alzheimer's Disease drug despite efficacy concerns.
Biogen licensed tofersen from Ionis Pharmaceuticals Inc in 2018.

Games-WADA signs deal with Commonwealth Games Federation to boost fight against doping
"The agreement is further affirmation of our commitment to clean sport, which is critical to achieving integrity and fairness in sport," Martin said. "In collaboration with WADA, the CGF seeks to maintain the integrity of the Commonwealth Games by running a comprehensive anti-doping program that focuses equally on education and prevention as well as testing."
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has signed an initial four-year agreement with the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) to collaborate on anti-doping, it announced on Tuesday. WADA said the deal, which was signed at the CGF General Assembly in Birmingham ahead of the July 28-Aug. 8 Commonwealth Games, was to facilitate joint activities within member nations and to strengthen its anti-doping programme.
"WADA recognises the importance of partnerships in the pursuit of clean sport," WADA chief Witold Banka said. "The global anti-doping system relies on collaboration... and this MOU between WADA and the Commonwealth Games Federation will boost the anti-doping work already being carried out within the federation's member countries."
CGF President Louise Martin said her organisation had "zero tolerance" when it comes to doping in sport. "The agreement is further affirmation of our commitment to clean sport, which is critical to achieving integrity and fairness in sport," Martin said.
"In collaboration with WADA, the CGF seeks to maintain the integrity of the Commonwealth Games by running a comprehensive anti-doping program that focuses equally on education and prevention as well as testing."

Karl-Anthony Towns is calling on basketball fans not to take LA Lakers superstar LeBron James for granted. The Minnesota Timberwolves big man posted his appreciation of the four-time MVP in a reply to a Twitter post.
Slava Medvedenko’s two championship rings with the Lakers are destined for more important use. The rings will be auctioned off to help Ukraine’s recovery after Russia damaged his country.
Rasheed Wallace will not be part of new LA Lakers head coach Darvin Ham’s coaching staff. Ham was looking forward to Wallace’s influence and mentorship on Anthony Davis had the former All-Star agreed to join the team.
Here are the latest news updates involving the LA Lakers as of July 26, 2022:
Karl-Anthony Towns is pushing people to appreciate LeBron James
Nobody in the history of the NBA has been as good for as long as LA Lakers superstar LeBron James has managed. His greatness has been so consistent over the last 19 years that basketball fans seem to be taking the four-time MVP for granted.
Karl-Anthony Towns would have none of that as he urged fans to look at “King James” with even more appreciation. Quoting Legion Hoops’ post regarding how many points James needs to average next season to become the all-time scoring leader, Towns tweeted:
“Appreciate Greatness Everyone”
The Minnesota Timberwolves star ended the comment with a flower icon as a way to tip his hat off to one of the best players to ever play the game.
The LA Lakers forward did everything he could last season, nearly becoming the scoring champ, but couldn’t carry the team to the playoffs. James posted 30.3 PPG, 8.2 RPG, 6.2 APG and 1.3 SPG in 56 games in his 19th season in the NBA.
LeBron James broke several records last season, which included toppling Karl Malone for second on the all-time scoring ladder. Next season, he will only have to average 16.2 PPG to sit on the throne as NBA history’s most prolific scorer.
Slava Medvedenko will auction off his two championship rings with the Lakers to help Ukraine
Stanislav “Slava” Medvedenko played seven seasons in the NBA, six of which were with the LA Lakers. He was part of the Shaq-Kobe era Lakers and won two titles with the team. The Ukrainian last played in the NBA during the 2006-07 season with the Atlanta Hawks.
Since Russia invaded Ukraine, Medvedenko is one of several high-profile Ukrainian athletes who have taken up a cause for their country. He was recently reported to be using AK-47s in helping his country defend against the invaders.
In an interview with The Athletic, the former backup Laker big man had this to say:
"In this moment I just decided, 'Why do I need these rings if they're just sitting in my safe?' I just recognize I can die. After that, I just say I have to sell them to show people leadership, to help my Ukrainian people to live better, to help kids."
Medvedenko's two championship rings are under the care of SCP Auctions and will be auctioned off from Wednesday, July 27, to August 5.
The LA Lakers failed to get Rasheed Wallace as one of Darvin Ham’s assistant coaches
Just weeks after Darvin Ham was named as the new head coach of the LA Lakers, Rasheed Wallace’s name promptly surfaced. Ham and Wallace are close friends and former teammates of the 2004 NBA champions, the Detroit Pistons.
In several interviews, Ham has lauded Wallace’s traits, naming him as someone who could be a unifying voice in the locker room. The former All-Star, had he been hired, was also expected to mentor Anthony Davis and the other LA Lakers big men.
Shams Charania of The Athletic included in a recent report that the Lakers failed to land the coveted coach. He stated:
“After further conversations, former NBA All-Star Rasheed Wallace will no longer join new Lakers coach Darvin Ham’s staff, sources said. Wallace served as an assistant under Penny Hardaway at the University of Memphis last season.”
Even without Rasheed Wallace, Ham has put together a competent group. They will be expected to hold LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook accountable after a disastrous 2021-22 season.
Phil Handy, who has been one of the most respected coaches over the last several years, will continue in Hollywood. Another notable name in Ham’s corner is former Atlanta Hawks assistant coach Chris Jent, who has extensively worked with James. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/basketball/la-lakers-news-roundup-karl-anthony-towns-urges-fans-appreciate-lebron-james-former-laker-set-sell-two-nba-championship-rings-ukraine-relief-july-26th-2022 | 2022-07-26T15:49:55Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/basketball/la-lakers-news-roundup-karl-anthony-towns-urges-fans-appreciate-lebron-james-former-laker-set-sell-two-nba-championship-rings-ukraine-relief-july-26th-2022 | false | 1 |
Facing a potentially grim report this week on the economy's overall health, President Joe Biden wants to convince a skeptical public that the U.S. is not, in fact, heading into a recession.
The Commerce Department on Thursday will release new gross domestic product figures. Top forecasts such as the Atlanta Federal Reserve’s GDPNow are predicting that the figure will be negative for the second straight quarter — an informal signal that the country is stuck in a downturn. That's political chum for Republicans in an election year.
The Biden administration is pre-emptively telling voters not to judge the economy by GDP or inflation alone. It says people should look at job gains, industrial output and other measures that point toward continued growth, even as Americans are downbeat in polls on the economy and Biden. The president maintains the economy is just cooling off after a sharp recovery from the 2020 recession caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
“We’re not going to be in a recession, in my view,” Biden said Monday. “My hope is we go from this rapid growth to steady growth."
The specter of a recession could worsen what already appears to a bleak round of midterm elections this November, in which Biden's Democrats could possibly lose control of the House and Senate. Biden's team gave technical arguments in a report issued last week about how recessions depend on a dashboard of indicators and that only the non-governmental National Bureau of Economic Research can formally say when a downturn begins.
Republicans warn that the GDP report could show an economy in collapse, noting that Biden was also wrong on inflation as the consumer price index has jumped to a 40-year high despite assurances that the price increases would fade as the country moved past the pandemic.
“The White House published a whole explanation insisting that even if the new data suggest that our country is in recession, we actually won’t be," Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell said in Monday in a speech to the Senate.
“The same people who said inflation wouldn’t happen," he continued, “are now insisting we aren’t headed into a recession. Draw your own conclusions.”
The GDP report will likely be a “choose your own economy” kind of messaging in which voters will decide which numbers resonate with them the most. It's GOP bluntness against Democratic nuance.
“You’ll have Republicans saying two consecutive quarters of negative growth — that’s a recession,” said Michael Strain, director of economic policy studies at the center-right American Enterprise Institute. “And you’ll have Democrats making this kind of hard to follow argument that we’re not in recession, but, yes, we are slowing down. If I had to bet, I would bet that the Republican argument gets more traction.”
Not only is the likely GOP message more direct, it also leans into how many Americans feel right now.
A July poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that 83% believe the U.S. is going in the wrong direction. That's a sharp reversal from May of 2021 when 54% said the country was headed in the right direction, a level of approval that overlapped with an increase in vaccinations against COVID-19 and payments flowing from Biden's $1.9 trillion pandemic relief package.
Separately, the University of Michigan's index of consumer sentiment is lower now than it was during the worst months of the 2008 financial crisis, an epic recession that involved the crash of the housing and stock markets and required a burst of government aid.
The negativity has left the Biden administration trying to make the case that things are better than people think. Their argument starts with the torrid pace of hiring, with an average of 375,000 jobs being added monthly during the second quarter. Unemployment has held at 3.6% since March.
An alternative measure of the overall economy called gross domestic income contradicts GDP, showing that there was growth during the first three months of the year instead of decline. And gasoline prices, a core vulnerability for Biden, have fallen more than 60 cents a gallon since the middle of June, evidence that some inflationary pressures are easing.
Both publicly and privately, administration officials say the GDP report won't tell the whole story.
“When you’re creating almost 400,000 jobs a month, that is not a recession,” Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said Sunday on NBC's “Meet the Press.”
Still, inflation has undermined the robust job market. Wage gains have failed to keep pace with price increases, meaning many people are effectively earning less money. There are also economic threats from abroad as China and many European economies are slowing down in ways that could spill over to the U.S. as the Federal Reserve is focused on raising interest rates in order to lower inflation.
But so long as hiring continues, liberal economists believe that public opinion will change and fears of a recession will fade. The White House analyses are “grounded in data,” said Heidi Shierholz, president of the liberal Economic Policy Institute.
“People will understand that if we continue to have extremely low unemployment that the idea we’re in a recession just doesn’t make a lot of sense,” she said. | https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article/Biden-fights-talk-of-recession-as-key-economic-17329565.php | 2022-07-26T15:50:39Z | https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article/Biden-fights-talk-of-recession-as-key-economic-17329565.php | false | 38 |
MASVINGO – Helen McGhie Primary School head Sheila Deve, has appeared before a Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education disciplinary committee, for allegedly lifting an Early Childhood Development (ECD) teacher’s dress exposing her undergarments in public.
This allegedly happened during a scuffle between the two at the school last year.
The hearing took place at the Better Schools Programme Zimbabwe (BSPZ) Building in Mucheke on Tuesday last week.
Efforts to get a comment from Deve or her lawyer Martin Mureri of Matutu Mureri Legal Practitioners were futile.
Efforts to get a comment from Ishmael Chigaba, the District Schools Inspector, were futile as his phone was unreachable.
The Mirror could not immediately establish why the hearing took place after almost a year.
It is alleged that in October 2021, Deve got into an argument with an ECD teacher and allegedly pushed and shoved her and then lifted her dress exposing her undergarments in front of toddlers.
In the second incident, Deve confronted another teacher, and after several minutes of a heated altercation, Deve allegedly started shoving and pulling the teacher until other members of staff intervened.
A team of inspectors from Chigaba’s office was dispatched to the school and carried out investigations.

We're in a "golden era of mixology right now," according to author Tamika Hall.
Mixology, the skill of mixing ingredients to create cocktails, is an art form that’s existed for years. For how long it's been around, however, it's been plagued by a lack of representation — from the bar scene to the narratives shared about the origins of Tennessee whiskey.
Which is why Hall, alongside acclaimed spirit ambassador, Colin Asare-Appiah, are here to enlighten the world with their new book, "Black Mixcellence: A Comprehensive Guide to Black Mixology," out June 26, via Kingston Imperial.
The forthcoming book pays homage to Black and brown mixologists and their contributions to the spirits industry — contributions that ultimately laid the foundation for so many brands to thrive today.
'We played an integral role in an industry that is flourishing today.'
“I want people to take away from the book that aside from the fact that we took a mandatory service and turned it into a way of life for us, it became a lifestyle. We broke barriers, dodged obstacles, hopped over pitfalls where we were expected to fail — and in regular true Black people fashion, we rose to the occasion,” Hall said in a conversation with TODAY Food. “So, it’s important that, even when you make these cocktails, you know that there’s history in the book, and it’s rich. We played an integral role in an industry that is flourishing today.”
The book highlights a collective of mixologists, hailing from all over the globe, and their signature cocktails. Each mixologist featured has an accompanying story, which details their contribution to the industry, anecdotes about some of their most interesting bartending experiences, and custom craft cocktail recipes.
The bulk of the book consists of mouth-watering cocktail recipes created by Black mixologists, but it was important for Hall to also shed a spotlight on the history behind the drinks we imbibe and the spirits we enjoy. So, aside from the cocktails, other features of the book are the stories of some of the industry’s most notable trailblazers — from Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey founder and CEO Fawn Weaver to 19th century mixologist John Dabney’s vital role in giving the Mint Julep its refreshing style.
"Since history already happened, it was important to tell the story of how certain things came to be or how people were involved, and in what way," said Hall. "So, it was important for me to tell that story and give a platform to modern-day mixologists."
Every detail of the book is crafted with intention — from its title to its striking cover art, which pays homage to Hall’s late father.
"'Black excellence' is a term that we’ve heard a lot and has become very popular, given the fact that’s what we use to describe things that we do as Black women, Black men and Black children. 'Black excellence' is when we excel at something. That’s what we use to describe the action,” Hall explained. "So, 'Black Mixcellence' is a cross between mixology and excellence to emphasize that these mixologists are Black, and their mixology skill is just that — 'mixcellent.'"
After nixing a couple versions of the book cover, Hall shared a beloved photo of her father with the graphic designer, who used it to create the final product. Hall’s father wasn’t a mixologist, but he was an artist.
"If he were alive, he would have had all the input for the cover of this book, the layout of the book, and would have been super involved," said Hall. "So, while he’s not a mixologist, just him being on there and smiling makes it all the more, for me, impactful."
'Opening a door for Black and brown modern-day mixologists'
According to Pronghorn research, while Black Americans represent 12% of alcohol consumers, they make up just 7.8% of the spirit industry's labor force and 2% of spirit executives in the industry. Unfortunately, this gap is something Hall knows all too well. Hall, who previously wrote branded content for Bacardi, Maker’s Mark, PepsiCo, Anheuser-Busch and Viniq, attended many spirits events where Black and brown mixologists were “poorly represented,” she said. This experience served as additional motivation to write "Black Mixcellence."
“It was important for me to provide a place to document some things that the mixologists did just so that people can reference them, see the work, see the creativity, the cocktail and the stories behind the cocktails,” Hall added. “Now people are going to go looking for them because people will want to know more about them, which gives them an opportunity to tell their story. So, that was the main part for me, aside from setting up a little bit of history … opening a door for Black and brown modern-day mixologists.”
As for the cocktail recipes included in the book, Hall hopes readers take a moment to soak in the stories behind each curated drink.
"We’re in another golden era of mixology right now where people are being innovative and creative," said Hall. "There’s a science to it. There are stories and history behind the cocktails. Those are the things that I want people to gravitate towards and really take their cocktail time to the next level." | https://www.today.com/food/drinks/black-mixcellence-tamika-hall-rcna39615 | 2022-07-26T15:57:20Z | https://www.today.com/food/drinks/black-mixcellence-tamika-hall-rcna39615 | true | 1 |

Vijayan mocks Congress's 'Chintan Shivir'

Thiruvananthapuram, July 26 Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Tuesday mocked the Congress over its state unit's recent 'Chintan Shivir' (brainstorming camp), quipping one needs to find out what all happened after their previous such meetings.
The state Congress unit had held a Chintan Shivir on Saturday and Sunday where nearly 200 state leaders, besides a few national leaders, took part and it was basically done to enthuse the state unit, which appears to be on a high after the Thrikkakara Assembly by-election victory and to lay the path forward for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
Asked about the Chintan Shivir at his media interaction, Vijayan said if he has to say about it, it will take a long time and soon he pulled out a piece of paper and started reading out from it.
"The Congress at present is finding to stand on its own legs and is trying to get props from outside, but for that, they need not look towards us. If we look into the past Chintan Shivirs, there have been four national such events with this name and it was first held in 1998. One has to find out what all actions they have taken from these four events," he said.
Vijayan also said the two-day event failed to discuss any burning issues that the country is facing or what the state are facing.
"It was a meeting which failed to discuss any major issues and we all are seeing on the contradicting positions they take... in Delhi, they oppose the Enforcement Directorate, but here they take a different stand. There was no discussion on any significant issues," he claimed.

The IMF has released its latest “gloomy and more uncertain” World Economic Outlook Update, and once again it’s slashed its growth figures for the advanced economies next year. Britain comes bottom of the table for the G7 – again – and now it’s forecast to hit 0.5% growth in 2023. The IMF has been wrong before: it underestimated last year’s growth by 2 points. This could be wide of the mark.

NEW YORK, July 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As per Zion Market Research study, The global pleural effusions treatment market size was worth around USD 4.4 billion in 2021 and is predicted to grow to around USD 6.8 billion by 2028 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of roughly 6.4% between 2022 and 2028.
Pleural Effusions Treatment Market: Overview
Pleural effusion is also known as water on the lungs and occurs when excess fluid builds up between the pleura layers outside the lungs. Pleura are thin membranes that line the inside of the chest cavity and lungs in order to facilitate breathing and enhance lubrication. In normal situations, a small amount of fluid is present in these membranes but when the amount exceeds the normal value, is when pleural effusion takes place and has to be treated medically. Pleural effusion seriousness depends on factors like the cause of the effusion, if breathing is obstructed, and if the condition can be effectively treated. In case, the effusion is caused due to heart failure, pneumonia, or a virus, the cause can be treated or controlled.
Pleural effusion is a tricky medical condition owing to the fact that patients do not show any visible symptoms, and the condition is detected during a chest x-ray for any other purpose. However, the most generic symptoms that may be unrelated but may arise depending on the cause of effusion are dry or nonproductive cough, chest pain, dyspnea, and orthopnea. As per National Cancer Center, pleural effusions are extremely common and affect over 1 million of the population in the USA, every year.

Industry Dynamics:
Pleural Effusions Treatment Market: Growth Drivers
- Rise in heart and lungs conditions to aid global market growth
The global pleural effusions treatment market growth may be propelled by the rising number of medical cases pertaining to congestive heart failure, pneumonia, lung cancer, and tuberculosis. In Germany, the total number of pleural effusion cases registered per year ranges from 4 to 5 million which is an indication of how common the disease is and if left untreated may result in death. Lung cancer is also a common disease globally which has been following a rising trend in the last few years. As per reports submitted by American Lung Association, in 2018, over 13% of the diagnosed cancer cases were related to lung cancer. In 2022, 2.3 million new cases of lung cancer were registered whereas the country witnessed over 1.3 million deaths related to lung cancer. Some of the reasons for the high prevalence of lung cancer include the rise in exposure to second-hand smoke, along with radon gas, asbestos, or other carcinogens. The increase is also propelled by the growing smoking industry.
The global market size may also benefit from the increase in the proper diagnosis of the disease. Since pleural effusions are extremely common, almost all doctors and physicians recommend the test even during check-ups for other problems. It is very common that a patient suffering from systemic lupus erythematosus may also contact pleural effusions. Over 25% to 45% of systemic lupus erythematosus patients have been affected by pleural effusions. The growing trend of awareness related to the disease may help global market growth.
Pleural Effusions Treatment Market: Restraints
- Discomfort associated with treatments related to pleural effusions may restrict the global market growth
Pleural effusion invasive treatments may lead to minor discomfort or pain which do not last for a long time. The severity of the after-effects may depend on the underlying cause of pleural effusions, the intensity of the cause, and other treatments associated with the cause. For example, if the thoracentesis fluid drains too quickly it may result in pulmonary edema and may lead to intense complications.
The global market growth trend may also witness some resistance due to the unsatisfactory success rate of pleural effusion treatments since the disease goes undetected many times due to the absence of concrete symptoms. The treatments for the disease undergo multiple variations depending on the underlying cause and its intensity. For example, in case of congestive heart failure with no signs of chest pain or fever should be treated with diuretics before thoracentesis.

Pleural Effusions Treatment Market: Opportunities
- Advancements in the understanding of the disease provide growth opportunities for global market expansion
Since pleural effusions are extremely common and can occur as a result of different main causes, the global market is witnessing a rising research trend on understanding the root causes and efficient treatment for the medical condition. European Respiratory Journal published that malignant pleural effusions are common in patients suffering from neoplastic diseases. As per their report, amongst the total number of patients who died with malignancies, 15% were detected with malignant effusions. The growing interest of the healthcare sector in learning about the virus is expected to expand the global market cap in the coming years.
Pleural Effusions Treatment Market: Challenges
- Lack of skilled professionals in emerging economies to challenge global market growth
The emerging economies are severely underfunded as compared to the need for developed healthcare infrastructure. There is a lack of sufficient skilled medical staff to cater to the growing healthcare demands of the population. The absence of enough healthcare facilities, attractive medical reimbursement plans, etc. is restricting the emerging economies from attaining full potential in the healthcare sector. As of 2040, the healthcare expenditure globally will rise to up to USD 18 trillion which may restrain the growth in poor economies even further.
Global Pleural Effusions Treatment Market: Segmentation
- The global pleural effusions treatment market is segmented based on treatment, type, end-user, and region.
Based on treatment, the global market segments are catheter, thoracentesis, pleuroperitoneal shunt, pleurodesis, and others. Thoracentesis treatment is used in case of large effusions whereas pleurodesis can prevent pleural effusions from coming back. In the USA, thoracentesis is performed more than 1.7 million times a year.
By type, exudative and transudative are the two global market segments where transudative type leads the segment. It occurs when the systemic factor causing absorption or formation of pleural fluid is altered. Almost 6% of the patients suffering from liver cirrhosis get diagnosed with pleural effusion that is associated with ascites, which is the leading source of transudative effusion.
By end-user, the global market is segmented into ambulatory clinics, clinics, hospitals, and others. The global market is expected to be dominated by the hospital segment during the forecast period.

PORTLAND, Ore., July 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- PaperCut has announced that Google has standardised on PaperCut MF to underpin its internal print infrastructure. The announcement follows the deprecation of Google Cloud Print, a service that enabled internal and external users to print from any Cloud Print-aware application, on any device in the network cloud to any printer with native support for connecting to cloud print services. PaperCut MF – which offers powerful print management for printers and multifunction devices – met Google's requirement for a solution that offers flexible print management across Google's complex print environment, which caters for approximately 200,000 employees and nearly 3,000 printers across all of its offices globally.
When looking to replace Google Cloud Print, the company assessed two options. The first was to take over the infrastructure for what used to be Cloud Print as a public product and make it internalised only, while maintaining that infrastructure. The second option was to find a product and vendor that could work with Google and support its security and infrastructure needs. Google's Chrome team proposed a number of print vendors as an enterprise alternative for Google Cloud Print, among which PaperCut MF stood out, in part for its support for BeyondCorp, Google's own zero trust model, and native OS printing across the four major platforms at Google - Linux, Mac, Windows and Chrome OS. PaperCut MF was also able to provide support for mobile devices, and the ability to badge in order to collect prints, as well as direct printing.
A Proof of Concept (PoC) exercise within Google Cloud conducted with three vendors, put a spotlight on PaperCut's superior capabilities, scalability for future expansion and high availability as well as its suitability for enterprise organisations. Its ease of use also impressed, with PaperCut's PoC up and running on the Google Cloud Platform within days, testing domains and instances smoothly and easily.
Ideally suited to Google's needs, PaperCut MF will help shrink its print bills, enabling Google to 'give back' to the environment and its print budget. PaperCut MF's eco-friendly policies will encourage less paper use which, in turn, saves on toner and electricity, and makes sustainable habits the status quo among users. PaperCut MF does that through innovative features like Responsible Reminders which help to implement print policies on-the-fly, via friendly pop-ups that prompt users to print in duplex or grayscale. Also helping to make overflowing recycling bins a thing of the past, are features like Secure Print Release, while actionable reports provide full print visibility to help unlock in-depth insights and stats.
Steve Holmes, US Director, PaperCut, said: "Organisations of all sizes are looking to simplify their print with solutions that are flexible enough to scale according to their ever-evolving business needs. Google is one example of a PaperCut customer that needed to take a new approach to print - one that could accommodate the intricate needs of a global organisation that prioritises security, collaboration and sustainability across multiple teams that practise hybrid working – while delivering tangible benefits in terms of ease of use, security and sustainability."
Ofer Bar-Zakai, Google's Operations and Engineering Manager, added: "Previously, Google built its own cloud print solutions, which up until last year customers were also able to use. Following its deprecation, we needed to implement a scalable and robust print architecture that met our security, flexibility and sustainability standards, which is very important to Google. The idea that we could literally just save paper when printing was appealing for us from the get-go. Therefore, with PaperCut MF, we have found a solution that does just that, and one that will help pave the way for future evolution of our print environment. Google chose PaperCut MF because it's the best printing solution we could find for our needs."

A decision on the likely imminent mask mandate in LA County will be announced by the health department on Thursday.
However, Beverly Hills city council officials have decided unanimously that they will not enforce the changes.
"This is a question of choice. Store owners will still be under county health orders, but we won't send in our officers to enforce it," said Lili Bosse the Beverly Hills mayor.
LA County Supervisor, Kathryn Barger also issued a statement saying she does not support a universal mask mandate because she does not believe it would decrease or stop transmission rates.
The LA County Department of Public Health announced that the number of COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations had pushed the county back into the "high" level of transmission for the second week in a row.
If a mask mandate is reinstated, it will remain in effect until the county falls back into the "medium" virus activity zone, when it then, could be potentially lifted again. | https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/national-international/beverly-hills-will-not-enforce-new-indoor-mask-mandate/3007468/ | 2022-07-26T16:16:22Z | https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/national-international/beverly-hills-will-not-enforce-new-indoor-mask-mandate/3007468/ | false | 2 |

New sensors integrate with IPS Single-Space Smart Parking Meters to generate turnover, increase revenue, enable complex rate structures, and maximize enforcement efficiencies.
SAN DIEGO, July 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- IPS Group ("IPS"), a Smart Parking innovation leader, has launched the Stereoscopic Vehicle Detection Sensor as part of the Fully Integrated Smart Parking Ecosystem.
The sensors integrate with IPS Single-Space Parking Meters to detect space vacancy and occupancy. Parking managers can monitor occupancy trends in real time to make data-driven policy decisions such as demand-based rates, parking schedules, and enforcement processes.
Compared to other vehicle detection sensors, the Stereoscopic Sensors offer the highest accuracy, longest battery life, greater auditing capabilities, and easiest installation and maintenance. A combination of stereoscopic and magnetometer technology captures different image and sensing perspectives and 3D coordinates to provide high-precision vehicle detection.
IPS sensor data synchronizes with the entire IPS Fully Integrated Smart Parking Ecosystem, including the Data Management System (DMS) centralized data analytics and business intelligence application; Enforcement Management Solution and PARK SMARTER™ mobile payment application. The sensor supports real-time web-based data feeds in the DMS to enable visual dashboard reports, enforcement routing, and PARK SMARTER™ parking finder feature.
The sensor's meter reset feature is proven to increase revenue by 25 – 50%. By resetting the meter to zero time when a vehicle leaves a parking space, new customer arrivals are responsible for the entire cost and do not piggyback off the previous session.
The City of Santa Monica, Calif. recently upgraded their single-space parking network which included Stereoscopic Sensors. Implementing policy changes and the reset function led to a positive return on investment and revenue gains.
Says Henry Servin, Parking Manager, Santa Monica Department of Transportation, "The Stereoscopic Sensor paid for itself because each reset annualized over our 6,500 single-space meters generates an additional $1.4 million a year in Santa Monica."
Live demos will take place at the IPMI Parking & Mobility Conference & Expo in New Orleans July 25 – 27 at booth #237.

OAKLAND, Calif., July 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- NORESCO, a part of Carrier Global Corporation (NYSE: CARR), is pleased to announce it has been awarded a new, three-year contract to help the California Energy Commission (CEC) develop and adopt the state's building energy code for 2025. California's Building Energy Efficiency Standards are updated every three years to guide the construction of new and existing buildings toward the state's clean energy goals. NORESCO has worked with the CEC to advance one of the nation's most efficient building energy standards, Title 24, Part 6 of the California Code of Regulations, for more than 15 years.
"With the ongoing support of NORESCO, the CEC is excited to continue pioneering world-leading strategies for buildings, while enabling energy bill savings and other benefits to building owners and occupants," said Michael Sokol, Deputy Director, CEC Efficiency Division. "This three-year agreement will assist the CEC as we look ahead to the next Building Energy Efficiency Standards update cycle."
"The NORESCO team's expertise in energy codes, modeling and building science allows us to provide the CEC with the support needed to achieve its objectives for the 2025 code cycle," said Rahul Athalye, Program Director of Code Development and Support, NORESCO. "We look forward to continuing to work together with the CEC to achieve deep decarbonization in the California building sector."
The upcoming code cycle will enable the CEC to drive continued progress toward the goals in California's Integrated Energy Policy Report (IEPR). The 2021 IEPR recommends the acceleration of building decarbonization and the installation of 6 million heat pumps by 2030. California's building energy code will play a key role in achieving these objectives, and the NORESCO team will support the CEC in developing and implementing strategies to meet these goals in both new construction and alterations.
NORESCO will also help develop energy accounting methodologies for the 2025 cycle, including development of prototype building models, weather files, metrics and life-cycle cost methodology. The team will review national model codes, assess new measures and code structure ideas, and support the research and development of new code requirements.
"NORESCO will provide the highly specialized technical support essential for developing, implementing and maintaining the 2025 Energy Code update to address the numerous energy priorities facing California," Sokol said.
The new contract builds on NORESCO's prior work with CEC, which in the 2022 code cycle included the development of the photovoltaics (PV) and battery requirements, as well as the single-zone heat pump requirements for nonresidential buildings. The 2022 Energy Code also stipulated electric-ready requirements for new homes, strengthened ventilation standards and made California the first state in the U.S. to require solar PV and battery storage in new nonresidential buildings.
Along with supporting development of the energy code for California, NORESCO has performed code development in Colorado, Massachusetts, New York, Washington and other jurisdictions that are leading the charge toward zero carbon and zero energy building codes. NORESCO is currently working with the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority to develop the NYStretch Energy Code.

Baked custard is a classic and comforting dessert that is perfectly suited for summertime. With a silky, chilled filling and a crisp, toothsome crumb base, egg custard is an elegant but deceptively simple recipe.
That’s right: Even though baked custard might sound like a fancy dish straight out of “Bridgerton” or “Downton Abbey,” the dish (also known as custard tarts) can easily be made even by novice chefs at home.
Best of all, baked custards only require a few simple ingredients. To make a classic egg custard, you only need eggs, butter, sugar, vanilla, flour, and nutmeg. You will also need milk, but you have options here. For example, this recipe for Homemade Baked Egg Custard from Allrecipes calls for regular milk, but you can also use sweetened condensed milk (as The Southern Lady Cooks does) or evaporated milk (as Nestle recommends for its recipe).
To make the baked egg custard from Marcea on Allrecipes, you first need to make your dough. Using butter, sugar, flour, and an egg, mix your pastry dough and then roll it out onto your work surface. You can roll the pastry to the size of a standard 9-inch pie dish or you can make individual egg custards in oven-safe ramekins. (If you are baking the latter, roll out your dough and then use a jam jar or a circle-shaped cookie cutter to expertly cut your dough to the size of your baking ramekins).
To prevent your custard bottom from getting soggy, many baking experts advise that you first “blind blake” your crust. This means you bake your crust for 15-20 minutes before putting your filling in. This helps the crust firm up and not get overly soggy when you put your wet ingredients inside of the pie. For mini pies, reduce the time to 10-12 minutes.
Next, add in your egg custard filling and bake for about 45 minutes, until the egg custard is firm and only ever-so-slightly jiggly. Then, pop in the fridge and let your egg custard cool for at least an hour.
Find the full instructions for homemade baked egg custard from Allrecipes here.
You can serve your egg custard warm or chilled. Once you perfect your egg custard technique, try other variations like Baked Lemon Custard from the North Carolina Egg Association or Maple Custard from Martha Stewart.

Andreas Burkhardt, on the pharma firm Teva calls for that “systematic monetary strain” should be eased, particularly for vital medicines which might be solely produced by a couple of producers.” The contracts below which medical health insurance corporations pay fastened quantities, he says, ought to be suspended till extra and new opponents might enter the availability once more, DIGIPATROX reported.
“The paracetamol juice was already starting to get a bit scarce again originally of the 12 months,” says one chemist, who did not wish to give her identify. “In the meantime, we’re out of inventory on ibuprofen juice, in addition to nasal spray. And provides of fever suppositories are low.”
In February, Germany’s Federal Institute for Medicine and Medical Gadgets (BfArM) waded in and ordered that, in mild of the emergency, medicines primarily based on Tamoxifen might now even be imported from overseas. This doesn’t clear up the availability drawback; the following shortage is predicted for the second half of 2022.
“Primary supplies are traded globally and there are sometimes just a few producers of a single lively ingredient, largely in Asia. If there’s for instance an issue in a manufacturing facility in China, or one nation imposes a commerce embargo, then many producers are subsequently affected,” says Ursula Sellering of the German Federation of Pharmacists.
Germany’s BfArM presently lists greater than 260 medicines which might be presently not accessible in Germany. These embody frequent antibiotics, thyroid drugs, blood strain reducers, and in addition medicines which might be urgently required in hospitals. In some instances, chemists assure provides by producing their very own medicines. However for that, they nonetheless want the suitable uncooked supplies.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina can continue enforcing its six-week abortion ban after a judge on Tuesday denied a request to temporarily block it amid a legal battle that is now headed to the state Supreme Court.
Since the U.S. Supreme Court ended the federal right to the procedure last month, abortion rights advocates in conservative states have turned to state constitutions as they seek to protect abortion access.
Planned Parenthood South Atlantic and other plaintiffs had asked the judge for an injunction while their lawsuit challenging the ban moves through the courts. The lawsuit argues that the law violates the state constitution’s rights to privacy and equal protection.
People are also reading…
State lawyers on Tuesday argued the significance of the issues raised and the need for a speedy trial made it necessary for the state Supreme Court to hear the case now.
Circuit Court Judge Casey Manning — who said this case raised the “most fundamentally important constitutional issue” he has seen — agreed and transferred the case. While the judge said Planned Parenthood could seek an injunction there, Planned Parenthood's attorney Hannah Swanson argued that patients in South Carolina need more urgent action to protect their health and freedom.
“We need protection right now,” Planned Parenthood South Carolina Director of Public Affairs Vicki Ringer told reporters. “We need the constitution to do what it says it does: protect our right to privacy. And privacy begins with our bodies.”
South Carolina Deputy Solicitor General Thomas Hydrick on Tuesday argued that voters did not intend to cover abortion rights when they approved the state’s right to privacy in 1971.
Many state restrictions have increased in the South since the Supreme Court last month overturned the federal right to the procedure. A Georgia law banning most abortions once fetal cardiac activity is present — as early as six weeks into a pregnancy — took effect last week.
In contrast to the South Carolina judge's decision, a Louisiana judge ruled last week that three abortion clinics in that state can continue operating while a lawsuit goes through the courts.
South Carolina’s Republican-dominated legislature is on track to further restrict the procedure. A special committee last week advanced a proposal to ban almost all abortions, except when the mother’s life is at risk.
GOP Gov. Henry McMaster signed the six-week ban last year but a federal appeals court prevented it from taking effect in February. That hold lasted until the Supreme Court ruled in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.

New Delhi: Congress chief Sonia Gandhi was questioned for six hours today by the Enforcement Directorate in an alleged money laundering case connected to the National Herald newspaper. She has been summoned again tomorrow, according to news agency ANI.
The Congress interim president, who was questioned for 2.5 hours before lunch and rejoined after a break, had reached the ED office in central Delhi around 11 am accompanied by her Z+ armed security and her children Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.
While Priyanka Gandhi stayed back with her, Rahul Gandhi left soon after and joined the Congress protest at Vijay Chowk before being detained by the police.
The 75-year-old Congress president left the ED office around 2 pm and returned around 3.30 pm, officials said.
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra was in a separate room at the ED office so she could meet her mother to provide medicines or medical assistance if necessary
Sonia Gandhi's questioning and recording of statements began around 11.15 am after initial formalities, including the verification of summons and signing the attendance sheet, were completed.
She was questioned for over two hours on July 21. She replied to 28 questions put forth by the agency, according to PTI.
The questioning of the Gandhis pertains to the charge of alleged financial irregularities in the Congress-promoted Young Indian, which owns the National Herald newspaper.
The Congress has slammed the agency's action against its top leadership and termed it "political vendetta".
Delhi Police deployed a huge force, including CRPF and RAF personnel, and barricaded the entire over one kilometre stretch between her residence and the ED office. Traffic restrictions were also imposed in the area.

"Historic rainfall" brings "life-threatening" flash floods in St. Louis
Record-high precipitation is soaking St. Louis, leading to what the National Weather Service called "life-threatening" flash flooding. Though no one has been reported dead, authorities said they were carrying out multiple rescues — and photos showed cars almost entirely submerged in the water.
Massive thunderstorms that hit St. Louis overnight prompted a "historic rainfall event," per the National Weather Service, which in turn caused "widespread flash flooding" throughout Tuesday morning. As of 7 a.m. local time, the city had shattered its daily rainfall record, reporting 8.06 inches of rain in just seven hours, the Weather Service said. The previous record, set in August 1915 after the Galveston hurricane, was 6.85 inches.
The rainfall led the National Weather Service to declared a flash flood emergency for St. Louis early Tuesday morning — which, per the Weather Service, describes the "EXCEEDINGLY RARE situations when extremely heavy rain is leading to a severe threat to human life and CATASTROPHIC DAMAGE from a flash flood is happening or will happen soon."
"Typically, emergency official[s] are reporting LIFE THREATENING water rises resulting in water rescues/evacuations," the service added.
Photos shared on social media early Tuesday showed police retrieving a driver from their car around 5:30 a.m., when police said heavy downpours trapped the vehicle on a flooded roadway. The photos showed the water has risen so much that the car's tires were submerged.
The St. Louis Fire Department said some vehicles were "fully submerged" and that rescue boats had been deployed.
The flash flood emergency remained in effect for hours. During that time, the Weather Service warned residents to avoid driving through flooded roadways. At the time, the water had already partially submerged roadways and residential areas, leading to interstate highway closures and rescue efforts by local law enforcement.
The flash flood emergency has since been downgraded to a flash flood warning, which is currently expected to expire at 11:45 a.m. local time.
The Weather Service emphasized most flood deaths occur in vehicles. "Please turn around, don't drown!" the agency tweeted, reiterating the slogan used to remind people of the dangers of moving through a flooded area where it's hard to tell how deep the water is.
Governor Mike Parson echoed that in his own statement on the flooding, writing, "We urge Missourians to continue to follow the safety messaging of local authorities and avoid travel in flooded areas until floodwaters recede. Never attempt to drive in floodwater."
Residential properties were also impacted. One video, recorded by a resident and shared on Twitter by a reporter with CBS affiliate KMOV, showed the person's backyard completely inundated with water. A fence and tree trunks appeared to be partially submerged.
The St. Louis Fire Department said it had responded to 18 homes with "substantial flooding/trapped occupants."
The agency warned that isolated thunderstorms in southeast Missouri and southwest Illinois "may become strong to severe" in the mid-afternoon or evening, with "damaging winds" posing the greatest threats as well as possible hail. The region could also see additional, and potentially severe, thunderstorms later this week.

A newly-wed couple were hacked to death by the girl's father in Tamil Nadu's Thoothukudi district for marrying against his wishes. The incident took place in Ettayapuram village in the district on Monday when the girl's father Muthukutty barged into the couple's house and killed them.
Manikaraja (26) and Reshma (20) had been in love with each other and both belonged to the same village. The girl's parents objected to their relationship as Manikaraja was a daily wage labourer.
With parents not accepting their relationship, the couple decided to leave their village and sought refuge at a police station in Madurai. They got married against the wishes of the girl's parents and were living in Madurai, 120 km from Ettayapuram.
However, they came back to the village over the weekend and knowing this, the girl's father barged into their house on Monday evening and hacked them to death.
The father has been arrested.

SpO2 sensors, which enable blood oxygen monitoring, were one of the marquee upgrades when Oura announced its third-generation smart ring. The only catch was that, even though the new Oura Ring had the necessary hardware, the feature itself was still in the works. Now, roughly nine months after launch, Oura says blood oxygen sensing will finally start rolling out to users this week.
Blood oxygen metrics have become increasingly popular when it comes to sleep tracking. It generally works by shining a red LED onto your skin. The amount of light that’s then reflected back is used to estimate how much oxygen is in your blood. The feature works similarly on the Oura Ring Gen 3, which uses a combination of red and infrared LED sensors. But while many devices — like the Apple Watch and the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 — opt for spot check readings, the Oura Ring will take continuous SpO2 measurements during sleep.
Oura says users will see their blood oxygen data in the form of two new metrics: average blood oxygen and breathing regularity. The former is a straightforward percentage, while the latter is meant to track “observable drops in average blood oxygen levels.” That, in turn, is meant to help users see how many sleep disturbances were detected in a single night.
Both metrics will be turned on by default, but users can toggle them on or off from the Blood Oxygen Sensing option in the main menu. The metrics themselves will be displayed in the Sleep tab, and suspected variations will be shown in a timeline broken down into 15-minute intervals. Each interval is represented by a color-coded line — dark blue for few variations, light blue for occasional variations, and white for frequent variations.
That said, users should take these metrics with a grain of salt. As with any wellness gadget, the Oura Ring isn’t meant to be used in a medical or diagnostic capacity. For instance, while frequent sleep disturbances may behoove you to check in with your doctor, it’s not an automatic sign you have sleep apnea or any other chronic condition. It’s also not a suitable substitute for a pulse oximeter. Essentially, this kind of wearable SpO2 data is a relatively passive metric that doesn’t fluctuate much on a daily basis. Features like this are more or less meant to help you keep track of when your long-term trends deviate from your individual baseline.
Enabling the feature also comes with a few caveats. Oura specifies that blood oxygen sensing will be limited to sleep sessions lasting longer than three hours. The company also says that enabling SpO2 sensing will cut into the ring’s battery life. The Oura Ring Gen 3 has an estimated weeklong battery life, but over the past nine months, I’ve generally gotten around 4-5 days on a single charge.
Ultimately, it’s encouraging to see that Oura is finally delivering on many of the Gen 3’s promised features. (It also recently rolled out workout HR tracking, another feature that was absent at launch.) This is especially true since Oura introduced a new $6 monthly subscription for the Gen 3, and as you might expect, it wasn’t a popular decision among long-time customers. While the sting of having to pay a subscription won’t go away, it’s a small consolation now that users are getting more of what they were initially promised. | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/technology/oura-is-rolling-out-blood-oxygen-metrics-on-its-smart-ring/275066/ | 2022-07-26T16:51:35Z | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/technology/oura-is-rolling-out-blood-oxygen-metrics-on-its-smart-ring/275066/ | false | 2 |
A lightweight POC CO-oximetry blood gas and chemistry system i20 reveals how photoluminescence biosensor coupled with microfluidics could transform the future of ABG tests in clinical departments.
CHICAGO, July 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- EDAN Instruments, Inc. (300206.SZ) announce the official launch of the first-of-its-kind POC (Point-of-Care) fluorescence-based CO-OX blood gas and chemistry analysis system, i20, equipped with over 45 parameters, covering from blood gases, electrolyte, to CO-oximetry during the 74th American Association for Clinical Chemistry Annual Scientific Meeting and Clinical Laboratory Exposition (2022 AACC). EDAN held a series of live demonstrations of i20 in booth 1038 at McCormick Place Convention Center, Chicago, Jul. 26-28.
The new system is designed to relieve the burden in selected patient care settings like intensive care units, pulmonary units, emergency departments, operating rooms, neonatal intensive care, etc. The technology and its photoluminescent biosensor increase the accuracy and stability sharply while eliminating the cost of maintenance, space, and staff training.
The blood gas test is considered the most important POC test by many emergency-care providers. The newly added analytes (tHb, sO2, FO2Hb, FHHb, FCOHb, FMetHb) on i20, are tailored to the typical clinical applications of CO-oximetry, like poisoning or other clinical situations that alter Hb's ability to carry oxygen.
"The true integration of blood gas analyzer and CO-oximetry analyzer with the small size that i20 achieved would be a perfect fit across clinical departments. Clinical needs would always be our priority. Size, CO-OX, maintenance, operations, and costs is been their focuses for years. And on i20, you wouldn't need to worry about any of these problems above. We eliminate the cons. Now, it's time to look at the pros," said EDAN's global marketing director, Alex You.
Through the live demonstration onsite, the cartridge of i20 also captures the spotlight. The disposable cartridge can store at room temperature (18 to 30°C) for months. And it only takes 65ul to complete a test with a result in 60 seconds after sample aspiration. "This is just a start. More surprises on i20 are releasing soon." For further information, contact pr.intl@edan.com.
*The i20 Blood Gas and Chemistry Analyzer is not for sale in the U.S. and not yet FDA-cleared.

CHICAGO, July 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Uptake, a leader in industrial intelligence, announced today that its predictive maintenance software for the on-highway and public sectors, Uptake Fleet and Uptake Federal, are available in the AWS Marketplace. Customers can access the products from the AWS Marketplace, a curated digital catalog that customers use to find, buy, deploy, and manage third-party software, data, and services to build solutions and run their businesses on Amazon Web Services (AWS). The listings streamline onboarding Uptake's products on AWS so organizations can quickly and securely improve asset uptime, maintenance, and supply chain efficiency.
"Uptake and AWS have a common mission to deliver value for our customers through easy-to-use software. We're excited about this next step in our strategic relationship to make it even easier for fleets to turn data into more reliable operations," said Kayne Grau, CEO, Uptake. "AWS Marketplace simplifies account management, enabling fleets to quickly deploy our products and see top risks in operations before they further impact deliveries or mission readiness."
More than 200,000 commercial vehicles rely on Uptake Fleet to boost on-highway performance and improve vehicle maintenance, including private fleets like PepsiCo and for-hire carriers such as United Road, an auto transport and logistics company that ships over 4 million units annually across North America.
"Uptake Fleet keeps our drivers happy and safe on the road," shared Mark Anderson, President & CEO, United Road. "The software allows our maintenance team to predict and prevent breakdown from the various sensor readings of a truck's engine, just with a few valuable insights. It's critical to our ability to haul cars and meet and exceed our customers' expectations."

If Ryan Goolic McClean’s team runs out of time while tending to a giant hogweed site, he rearranges other work.
“I will reschedule a different project so we have enough time for giant hogweed,” he said. “Not only is it a natural concern and could crowd out native species, but the human health impact is a huge priority on a regional and statewide basis.”
McClean is the terrestrial invasive species project manager for the New York-New Jersey Trail Conference. As part of the Lower Hudson Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management, he leads a team called the Invasives Strike Force crew. That team is tasked with on-the-ground management of invasive species threatening the ecosystems or posing a public health risk in the region. One of their earliest priorities each season is giant hogweed.
Giant hogweed is an invasive plant with an apt name — in its adult stage, it can be anywhere between eight and 14 feet tall. It has a green hollow stem that can be up to four inches across and has purple blotches and coarse white hairs that are particularly noticeable where the leaves attach to the stem. Its leaves, which can be up to five feet across, are lobed.
Beyond its size, the most identifiable characteristic of the plant is its flat-topped “umbrella,” or dome shape, of white flowers that can be up to 18 inches across. The plant typically flowers in June and July and can cause serious burns if it comes into contact with human skin, exacerbated by exposure to sunlight. (Examples of those burns can be seen on the DEC’s website, but a content warning for readers, the images may be considered graphic for some people.)
McClean’s goal, in partnership with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, is the eradication of the plant in his region, which comprises Ulster, Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland and Westchester counties.
As a terrestrial invasive species specialist, it’s McLean’s job to assess invasive plants and come up with eradication plans, which involve careful removal and management of plants. If he determines eradication isn’t in reach, as was the case with sapphire berry, management is discontinued. That won’t be happening anytime soon with giant hogweed.
“I really think eradication is in reach,” he said. “It is one of our biggest success stories.”
A map illustrating eradicated sites in the state shows that the plant has already been eliminated from Columbia and Westchester counties. Another map of active sites currently under monitoring or management shows that Dutchess County is the area within the Invasives Strike Force crew’s coverage zone with the most current activity. He attributes that to one very populous site that his team has made a lot of progress on.
When the site was discovered in 2019, McLean said the number of plants recorded was “too many to count.” By last year, the Invasives Strike Force crew had battled the hogweed down to 7,000 plants. This year, the team managed just over 1,100 plants on the site, McLean said.
Most managers don’t require their teams to count every plant, especially when there are 7,000 of them, but McLean is glad he did, because now he has the data to show their progress. “That’s nearly a seven-times reduction in giant hogweed, which is a huge, huge success.”
McLean says the key to management is early intervention: the plants need to be taken down before they flower and go to seed. An average plant produces 20,000 seeds, and those seeds can survive for years in the soil once they’re dispersed. For that reason, once all the plants from a site have been eliminated, McLean’s team still monitors the area for nine more years to make sure no new plants pop up. Only then is the site put in the “eradicated” category.
The massive site in Dutchess County was in a big open field, which is likely why it went undetected long enough to grow so many plants they couldn’t be counted. Most of the intervention work McLean and his team do is on private property. Therein lie some of the obstacles they have yet to overcome: people.
“Landowner refusal for our crews to come and manage the hogweed is a problem we face,” he said.
The reasons for people not wanting crews to intervene on their property vary. Some people like the plants and think that as long as they know not to touch the sap, it’s fine to have them, not realizing, or perhaps not caring, that if they go to seed, they can spread to other properties and pose risks to others. Others perceive McLean’s team as working for the government, and they don’t want the government intervening on their land. In other words, it’s politics.
“But I don’t care about politics,” says McLean. “All I care about is the giant hogweed.”
Another issue he faces is public education. In one instance, a person had received giant hogweed seeds from a gardening club and had planted the seeds in their garden, not knowing the health risks the plant posed.
Public outreach, therefore, is one of McLean’s biggest tasks. If he becomes aware of a giant hogweed plant on private property and it isn’t the homeowner who called about it, he goes to all sorts of lengths to contact the person. He’ll call their house if he can find a number. Sometimes he takes to Facebook, Google and LinkedIn to try to find contact information. If all else fails, he’ll knock on their door, which he says people don’t always love. But he’ll take the awkward interactions.
“Just because of how important this project is,” he said.
Should you see giant hogweed, contact should be avoided. If you do come into physical contact with the plant, the affected area should be washed with soap and water immediately. The affected area should not be exposed to sunlight, as UV rays can exacerbate the effects. That also applies to the eyes — if you get the sap in your eyes, put sunglasses on and contact your doctor.
Medical attention is the most important thing to pursue if you come into contact with the plant. Afterward, or if you didn’t come into contact with it, contact the DEC by emailing ghogweed@dec.ny.gov; calling 845-256-3111, or texting 518-320-0309.

Fortnite has had its fair share of crossovers through the years and today it was unveiled that even John Cena will be in Fortnite soon. Many players have of course gotten very excited about finding out that information and they are frantically awaiting the release of the skin within the game. There are also a few extras that make their way to the game along with the skin. This guide article will take you through everything you need to know about John Cena in Fortnite and if the skin is worth it, along with how to get it.
John Cena Arrives to Fortnite Soon
The skin for John Cena will be available on the 28th of July at the time of 8 Pm ET. The exact price of the skin is still unknown as of the time of writing, unfortunately. However, there is also going to be a John Cena set that brings even more to the game. From a WWE Championship Title Back Bling, the main gesture that everyone will know about with the ‘Can’t C Me’ emote, and even a new pickaxe with a hand. All excellent stuff. The John Cena skin and set will certainly be worth it for many!
Along with all of that, there is also of course new entrance and ring gear which is another thing many will be looking forward to. In terms of the price, an estimation for the set is likely a price around 1500 V Bucks or lower than that. Time to get saving those V-bucks before the skin and set releases later this week! As always, Fortnite is thriving with new content arriving and there will likely be a lot of people returning to the experience to give the new skin a try.
Fortnite is available now and playable on the following platforms: PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, IOS, Android, and PC.

Apex Legends developer Respawn Entertainment has released another teaser tweet leading up to new legend Vantage’s release.
The tweet shows an image of a letter, which appears to be appealing a ruling preventing Vantage from participating in the Apex Games. It reveals her full name, Xiomara “Vantage” Contreras, and shows that she was originally not allowed to enter the games due to an “unauthorized instrument.” That instrument is otherwise known as her bat companion, Echo.
Under the “comments for consideration” section of the letter, Vantage explains that because Bloodhound is allowed to compete in the games with their raven, there’s no reason that Echo can’t join as well. “Bloodhound’s flying pet is mean and bullies other legends like Pathfinder. Echo is nice! Well, usually,” reads the letter.
Vantage concludes her statement by saying that Echo shouldn’t be excluded just because it attacked another contestant during the Apex Games tryout, alluding to more lore for the new legend. “Nonsense rules can’t keep me from fighting alongside my friend. Thank you for paving the way, Bloodhound,” reads the tweet that accompanied the image of the letter.
Vantage was formally announced in yesterday’s Stories from the Outlands trailer, which saw her find an abandoned ship on the frozen planet Págos against her mother’s wishes. Along the way, she meets Echo, who will presumably become her companion in the games and factor into her ability set. Vantage is arriving with the beginning of season 14 on Aug. 9 alongside changes to Kings Canyon and a new level cap for high-level players. | https://dotesports.com/apex-legends/news/new-apex-legends-teaser-shows-vantages-apex-games-application | 2022-07-26T17:11:03Z | https://dotesports.com/apex-legends/news/new-apex-legends-teaser-shows-vantages-apex-games-application | false | 1 |
Check out the highlights from Derrick Goold’s Cardinals chat with readers. The full transcript of the chat can be found here.
Q: What's your take on why the front office only signed Matz last offseason? They should have known they'd have injury problems. If you addressed previously, I haven't seen it. On paper they had VerHagen, Woodford, Oviedo, Liberatore as depth. But none of that depth has worked out.
A:
People are also reading…
Q: My question is about Marmol comments being about World Series or bust vs. the front office stance of get in and see what happens. I think from managerial perspective those comments need to be made. I would think players would want that. Do you think the 2006 & 2011 championships deliver this thought process from the front office? Noting those two teams were not the best in season teams, but got on a run in the right time. Seems like the conclusions could be drawn together. thanks!
A: The 2006 and 2011 teams are examples of when that process works, not the engines behind that process. Going back to 2004, when I started on the beat, an executive with another team told me how random the postseason was and how when he built a roster he built it to get into the postseason and then see what happens. That executive? Theo Epstein. He had just seen his team -- a good team, a solid roster, for sure -- upend the Yankees in a best-of-seven series after being down three-games-to-none. Talk about random! The Sox got hot at just the right time and off the went. That 2004 team won its final four playoff games and still has not lost, winning free dinners ever since. If you listen to comments made by the defending champs in Atlanta or the Dodgers, who have spent and spent and spent and developed and developed and spent and spent and spent to reduce the randomness of October, they'll say the same thing. It's noteworthy that all of the millions the Dodgers have spent and the one title they have for all this run of dominance and division crowns came in the improvised tournament at the end of 2020.
Q: It seems as though most teams have an A squad of middle relievers that pitches when the team is tied or ahead in the 5th-8th inning and a B squad that pitches when the team is behind. Most of these B squads just seem to give up more runs and generally put the game out of reach. Wouldn’t it make sense for decent teams to really load up on good middle relievers and try to steal some of those games?
A: Yes, and that is something that Marmol has talked about doing, as a necessity. I call them chase relievers. And teams that have good chase relievers are the teams that make comebacks. Look at the Dodgers, for example. The Yankees have that thunderous offense to help. But chase relievers are essential, but to be good they also have to avoid being overworked as innings mops to cover the leftovers from a rotation that goes too short too often.
Q: I see Madison Bumgarner as the type of personality Mo likes to acquire in seasons like this. Good veteran that also brings some saltiness with him. A la Lester, Lackey, Pierzynksy. What are your thoughts about that potential trade?
A: I see what you're saying. He's a possibility. He's not missing many bats, but he's having success, and while the Cardinals have their eyes open and their sights set on someone who would add to the teams ability to miss bats, they will take success over zero addition, it seems. And they know they'll get innings from him, regardless of the results. He's in the mix, on the list, however you want to say it. But at last check the Cardinals were looking at options that would bring a few more strikeouts, if possible, and change the look of the rotation in that way, not just from the grizzled veteran left-handed side.
Q: Do you think we could get a competent Starter while only giving up Yepez, Nootbar, Nunez, Baez or a not top 10 prospect? What do you think the cost will be for the kind of pitcher that can actually make a difference?
A: The Cardinals could get a competent starter without losing one of their top-tier prospects. They could draw from the outfield depth already in the majors and acquire that starter, or they could turn to one of the power arms in the minors. A blended package would be necessary depending on the performance of the pitcher and control. But a competent starter could be had, yes.
Q: Speaking of Nolan Arenado and his opt out.. is the general feeling around St Louis is that he still intends to finish his career as a Cardinal?
A: I'm not sure about the general feeling. That comes and goes in ebbs and flows depending on the day. Nolan Arenado is the one who makes that call, and he has remained steadfast about his intent to stay with the Cardinals. He does not have to make an official decision until at the end of the season. Cannot make that decision until the end of the season. And that obviously allows for time for his situation to change -- whether that's his view of the team, its direction, or heck where he wants to live based on family. Circumstances change, and since he cannot make that call right now, he does not have to, and, candidly, he doesn't have all the information necessary to make that call. No one would. | https://www.stltoday.com/sports/baseball/professional/birdland/goold-cardinals-looking-at-options-to-change-the-look-of-rotation-bring-in-strikeouts/article_57e67f94-3835-503d-b196-6029da4c1a29.html | 2022-07-26T17:11:32Z | https://www.stltoday.com/sports/baseball/professional/birdland/goold-cardinals-looking-at-options-to-change-the-look-of-rotation-bring-in-strikeouts/article_57e67f94-3835-503d-b196-6029da4c1a29.html | false | 1 |

CENTRALIA, Ill. (AP) — An aircraft passenger who died last weekend when a small plane crashed into a swimming pool in southern Illinois has been identified as a 56-year-old woman from the Peoria area.
Centralia police said Cheryl Monserat-LaGreca of Lacon, Illinois, died on impact when the 1948 Beechcraft A35 aircraft crashed Saturday less than a mile from the Centralia Municipal Airport. She was the plane's only passenger.
The plane's pilot, Peoria-area resident Glenn Rossi, was airlifted to a nearby hospital after firefighters, police and others freed him from the plane's wreckage, KTVI-TV reported.
Centralia police responded to the crash scene Saturday afternoon after receiving a call from a resident who said a small plane had crashed into their backyard swimming pool.
Marion County coroner Troy Cannon said the conversation between the first responders and Rossi suggested that the plane lost power and started to lose altitude. Neighbors said they witnessed the plane descending without engine power.
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the incident and the cause of the crash. Centralia is located about 60 miles (96.6 kilometers) east of St. Louis. | https://www.manisteenews.com/news/article/Woman-killed-when-plane-crashes-in-Illinois-pool-17329748.php | 2022-07-26T17:14:14Z | https://www.manisteenews.com/news/article/Woman-killed-when-plane-crashes-in-Illinois-pool-17329748.php | true | 16 |

Rollie Bands Tampa rapper shot dead in front of home five minutes after daring critics to confront him in an Instagram post. No arrests.
A Florida rapper was gunned down outside his Tampa apartment complex Friday minutes after daring his critics to confront him at his house in an Instagram post.
‘A lot of these n****s know where I live at fr,’ Rollie Bands wrote on his Instagram Story, taunting his haters, according to HipHopDX. ‘I sleep in peace. If a n***a want smoke I’m at my crib in 5 mins.’
Just five minutes after his post, at around 3:30 p.m., the rapper was shot in the parking lot of his apartment complex – the address of which he publicly posted in his taunt on Instagram. He was rushed to an area hospital, but couldn’t be saved.
The suspects — who police believe knew and targeted Bands — fled in a vehicle. They remain at large.
‘At this time, the shooting does not appear random, as the suspects and victim are possibly known to each other,’ the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office said in the report.

With veterans reporting on Tuesday, three players will have media availability starting at 3:45pm in tight end Mark Andrews, defensive lineman Calais Campbell and inside linebacker Patrick Queen. Each will be asked a plethora of questions, likely about their offseason, goals for the upcoming year, as well as many other things.

• Mark Andrews

Consumer confidence slips for third straight month in July
Consumer confidence slipped for the third straight month in July as sky-high prices dampened demand for products and services, according to a new survey.
The Conference Board’s consumer confidence index, which tracks consumer attitudes and buying intentions, dropped from 98.4 percent last month to 95.7 percent in July, its lowest level since last year.
Lynn Franco, the Conference Board’s senior director of economic indicators, said in a statement that the survey results indicate that recession risks persist.
“As the Fed raises interest rates to rein in inflation, purchasing intentions for cars, homes, and major appliances all pulled back further in July. Looking ahead, inflation and additional rate hikes are likely to continue posing strong headwinds for consumer spending and economic growth over the next six months,” Franco said.
Consumer prices rose 9.1 percent over the last year ending in June, according to Labor Department data, putting pressure on shoppers’ wallets.
Walmart on Monday lowered profit expectations due to changing consumer spending trends. The retail giant said that inflation is forcing Americans to spend more on food and other necessities rather than clothing or electronics.
The Conference Board, a nonprofit backed by large U.S. corporations, found that just 17 percent of consumers said business conditions are good, down from 19.5 percent the month prior, while 24 percent said conditions are bad.
The survey results showed that consumers are increasingly worried about their financial situation, with more consumers expecting their income to decrease rather than rise, a reversal from June.
Observers are bracing for Thursday’s government data release that could show a second straight quarter of shrinking gross domestic product, a typical indicator of a recession.

Amid political tussle, Imran Khan shares clip on "attack" on Pak Supreme Court in 1997
Amid the tussle over the Pakistan Supreme Court's verdict in the Punjab Chief Minister's election case, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan has shared a video clip purported to be about the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz's (PML-N) "attack" on the top court in 1997.

Amid the tussle over the Pakistan Supreme Court's verdict in the Punjab Chief Minister's election case, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan has shared a video clip purported to be about the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz's (PML-N) "attack" on the top court in 1997. "This video says it all about the Sharif mafia. Those who can't be bribed must then be eliminated," he tweeted with the video news report about the PML-N's alleged attack on chief justice Sajjad Ali Shah's court, Dawn reported.
[{8c431a4f-e0ba-4c10-943b-09e36e0e2b3f:intradmin/Capture.JPGhjh.JPG}] On November 30, 1997, former premier Nawaz Sharif had appeared before the top court along with party workers, members, chief ministers, and constituents to hear the proceedings, The Express Tribune reported, adding that several party workers had stormed into the Supreme Court, forcing Chief Justice Sajjad Ali Shah to remove the findings of contempt against Sharif.
PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry demanded the names of Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) leaders be placed on the Exit Control List (ECL) for what he called blackmailing the apex court to pressure it, as per local media. Lashing out at PPP leader Asif Ali Zardari, Fawad said the entire Sindh became a dam whenever it rained, but the former president was focused on salvaging the Punjab government by spending Sindh's money, Dawn newspaper reported.
The ruling coalition in Pakistan demanded of the Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Justice Umar Ata Bandial on Saturday to form a full bench to hear a petition from PTI candidate for CM Punjab Parvez Elahi challenging a ruling from Deputy Speaker Punjab Assembly to reject votes of PML-Q during the election, local media reported. A three-member SC bench comprising Pakistan Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial, Justice Ijazul Ahsan and Justice Munib Akhter issued the verbal order during a hearing on PML-Q leader Pervez Elahi's petition.
Shahbaz Sharif-led Pakistani government has expressed its "lack of confidence" in the three-member Supreme Court bench and announced a boycott of the proceedings related to the Punjab Chief Minister's election after the court turned down their request for a full bench. "Our lawyers recommended a (full court) bench but unfortunately, the bench, instead of reflecting and accepting our advice, rejected it," Pakistan Democratic Movement and JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman said in Islamabad, Daily Times reported.
All parties allied under the banner of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) reiterated their demand for the formation of a full court Supreme Court bench to hear a petition challenging the interpretation of Article 63-A of the Constitution by the Punjab Assembly Deputy Speaker during the Punjab chief minister's poll, Daily Times reported. The leaders of political parties under the PDM, including the movement's chief and Jamiat Ulema Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Fazlur Rehman, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz's Vice President Maryam Nawaz, Pakistan People's Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, and others addressed a joint news conference in Islamabad.
According to PPP Chairman Bilawal, they cannot let three people decide the future of the country. (ANI)

NFL training camps have begun, so we’ve started checking in on popular NFL Futures bets to see if there are any enticing opportunities to make some money.
Earlier this offseason, we covered the Offensive Rookie of the Year and Defensive Rookie of the Year, and Offensive Player of the Year, so now we’ll turn our attention to the Defensive Player of the Year race.
While not as sexy as the Offensive Player of the Year, the Defensive Player of the Year race features some of the NFL’s biggest stars and some strong betting opportunities for new and experienced bettors alike. If you do like any of the bets we discuss here, make sure to use the sign-up offers listed at the bottom of the article to give yourself a chance to make even more money.
You may notice a lot of pass-rushers among the top names listed. That’s because defensive ends or edge rushers are often the winners of the Defensive Player of the Year with eight of the last ten winners having at least 11 sacks. Stephon Gilmore in 2019 was the only non-pass rusher to win the award since Luke Keuchly in 2013.
Another important factor to note before diving into the specific names is that voters for the Defensive Player of the Year don’t seem to care about team performance. Four of the last seven winners were on teams that had defenses outside of the top 10, so individual performance tends to matter more than team context.
The Favorites
T.J. Watt, OLB, Pittsburgh Steelers (+700)
Watt is the odds-on favorite because he was the winner of the Defensive Player of the Year last year after an absurd 22.5-sack season that saw him tie Michael Strahan for the NFL record for sacks in a season. He also did that in only 15 games, which means playing a full 17 should allow him to eclipse 20 sacks in 2022 as well.
Considering Watt has had at least 13 sacks in each of the last four years and has finished in the top three in Defensive Player of the Year voting in each of the last three, he seems like the safest bet in the field. His odds of +700 still mean that a $100 bet on Watt to win would earn you a $700 profit, which is certainly nothing to turn our noses up at.
Aaron Donald, DT Los Angeles Rams (+700)
Tied with Watt as the frontrunner heading into the preseason is Aaron Donald, which is no surprise since Donald won Defensive Player of the Year in 2020 and was the last back-to-back winner after he claimed the honor in 2017 and 2018.
Donald may not be as prodigious a sack artist as Watt, but he has at least 11 sacks in each of the last five years and six of his eight in the NFL. Since we mentioned that 11 seems to be a magic number for this award, that should make us feel good about Donald’s case. He also is an incredibly disruptive force in the run game, totaling a career-high 84 tackles last season and 19 tackles for a loss. He also forced four fumbles, which means Donald can catch voters’ eyes in a number of ways.
Myles Garrett, DE, Cleveland Browns (+750)
A former number one pick, Garrett has been a force for the Cleveland Browns a notched a career 16 sacks in his fifth NFL season. Entering his age 27 season, Garrett is in his athletic prime and should be able to notch another 16+ sack season. A first-team All-Pro in each of the last two seasons, Garrett is one of the few players who is as consistently disruptive as Donald and Watt, but he would likely need a career year to top one of them.
The Contenders
Micah Parsons, LB, Dallas Cowboys (+1000)
Parsons is just in his second season, which makes this a bit of a longshot, but he also won Defensive Rookie of the Year last year and is an athletic marvel at 6’ 3” and 248 pounds with a 4.36 seconds 40-yard dash. Last season Parsons had 84 tackles, 13 sacks, three forced fumbles, and 30 QB hits. If you believe the 23-year-old is only going to get better in this second season, which would be logical, then he makes for an intriguing bet with +1000 odds since a $100 bet on him to win would earn a $1,000 profit.
Nick Bosa, DE, San Francisco 49ers (+1400)
After missing pretty much all of 2020 due to injury, Nick Bosa returned last year and started all 17 games, registering 15.5 sacks, 52 total tackles, and a league-leading 21 tackles for loss. He also had 32 QB hits and forced four fumbles, which further shows just how impactful he was. Still just 25 years old, Bosa was the 2nd overall pick in the 2019 draft and has every bit the amount of talent that the frontrunners do. After winning Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2019, perhaps this is the year he adds Defensive Player of the Year to his resume.
The Longshot Bets
Danielle Hunter, DE, Minnesota Vikings (+2500)
Since we covered that sacks seem to be the key to winning Defensive Player of the Year, our longshot bets are doing to be players who might be able to bring us the massive sack totals that will catch voters’ eye.
Hunter broke out in 2019 when he finished 5th in Defensive Player of the Year voting after notching 14.5 sacks, 70 tackles, and three forced fumbles. He then missed the entire 2020 season with a herniated disc and played just seven games in 2021 due to a torn pectoral muscle.
With Hunter entering his age 28 season fully healthy, he’s a good bet to be among the league leaders in sacks again. After tallying 14.5 sacks in both 2018 and 2019, he could push for 16+ in a 17-game season, which makes him a decent gamble at +2500 odds.
Jeffrey Simmons, DT, Tennessee Titans (+8000)
Our longest shot bet is on Simmons, who is a young player that could take the next step in his growth. He was a Pro Bowler and second-team All-Pro last season after registering 8.5 sacks, 54 tackles, six passes defended, and 16 quarterback hits as a 24-year-old. The former first-round pick is a tremendous athlete and a big human at 6’4″ 305 pounds. Given his raw ability and career progression, it’s possible Simmons can put together a 12+ sack season while continuing to be disruptive in all facets of the game. Since a $100 bet on Simmons could notch you $8,000 in profit, it’s a little intriguing if you want to have some fun.

NEW YORK (AP) — Major League Baseball’s goal of an international amateur draft was thwarted again when the players’ association rejected management’s final offer on Monday and retained direct draft-pick compensation for free agents.
The quirky tie between the two provisions was established in the March 10 agreement that ended the 99-day lockout and preserved a 162-game season. The sides gave themselves until July 25 to reach an agreement on an international draft, which MLB has sought since 2002, and specified the draft-pick provision would be dropped in the event of a deal.
There was little movement over the four months. The union made an offer during a Zoom meeting Saturday, and MLB presented what it termed its final proposal in an email Sunday. Union officials forwarded that plan to the players’ executive board and said they planned to reject it.
Hearing no opposition, union deputy executive director Bruce Meyer telephoned deputy commissioner Dan Halem with the rejection at about 3:45 p.m. EDT Monday.
The decision, announced about eight hours before the deadline, was the final step needed to complete the collective bargaining agreement that expires on Dec. 1, 2016. Retaining compensation is likely to limit the market for some older players set to become free agents, a group set to include Anthony Rizzo, J.D. Martinez, Chris Sale and Charlie Morton.
“Each of our proposals was focused on protecting against the scenario that all players fear the most — the erosion of our game on the world stage, with international players becoming the latest victim in baseball’s prioritization of efficiency over fundamental fairness,” the union said in a statement. “The league’s responses fell well short of anything players could consider a fair deal.”
As a result, the international signing bonus pool total for 2022-23 will remain at $167 million, its level in 2021-22, according to a side letter between MLB and the union whose contents were divulged to The Associated Press. The total will increase starting in 2023-24 by any corresponding percentage rise in industry revenue since 2019 — the last year before the pandemic.
The decision keeps in place a system of qualifying offers for free agents that began in 2012. A club can make a qualifying offer following the World Series to a free agent who has been with the team since opening day, a one-year contract for the average of the top 125 deals by average annual value. Last year’s figure was $18.4 million.
If a player rejects a qualifying offer and signs elsewhere, the signing team is subject to a loss of one or two amateur draft picks and a reduction in international signing bonus pool allotment.
Craig Kimbrel and Dallas Keuchel, unhappy with offers during the offseason and spring training. delayed signing in 2019 until June, after the draft pick compensation no longer was attached.
Top players have found robust markets. This year’s free-agent group is headed by Aaron Judge, Jacob deGrom and Trea Turner.
“We are disappointed the MLBPA chose the status quo over transitioning to an international draft that would have guaranteed future international players larger signing bonuses and better educational opportunities, while enhancing transparency to best address the root causes of corruption in the current system,” MLB said in a statement.
An amateur draft was established for residents of the United States and Canada in 1965 and extended to residents of U.S. territories such as Puerto Rico in 1990. MLB has pushed for a similar international amateur draft, saying part of its rationale was to combat illicit agreements made before players are age eligible — at least 17 at the time of signing or 16 at the time as long as the player turns 17 by the Sept. 1 of the contract’s first season.
MLB proposed last July 28 that a 2024 international draft include spending of $181 million for the top 600 players and $190 million in total, up from $166 million in the 2021 signing period.
Players waited until this July 8 to make a counteroffer. They proposed a draft be allocated $260 million for the 2024 signing period, with teams having to guarantee slot values while having the flexibility to exceed them within bonus pools.
MLB increased its offer Saturday to $191 million for 2024 and said it was a final proposal. MLB dropped mandatory drug testing with penalties for positive tests and also changed its proposed medical combine from mandatory to optional.
Management also offered to guarantee a minimum of $5,000 in educational money, a figure rising to $10,000 if the player passes a General Educational Development Test.
The union said MLB’s offer was not sufficient and cited a change management made to its calculation of growth beyond 2024. Players also wanted guarantees to maintain the current number of annual international signings and teams and jobs in the Dominican Summer League. They asked for a $40,000 cap on bonuses for draft-bypassed players, double MLB’s offer. They wanted MLB to contribute $10 million for an international human rights foundation and to hire a joint compliance officer

Antony Hegarty, lead singer of Antony and the Johnsons, has a striking sound — his singing has often been compared to Nina Simone's.
Music writer John Hodgman once described Hegarty's voice as "somewhere between male and female, between childish innocence and weary adulthood, at once ethereal and earthy," while Chicago Reader critic Noah Berlatsky writes that he "frames his soaring, throbbing, mannered, and decidedly androgynous voice with complex chamber-music arrangements. ... [But he] doesn't do winking flamboyance or irony — his music is earnestly, languidly, overwhelmingly romantic."
The androgynous singer, who spent his childhood in southern England and got his musical start in the drag bars of New York's East Village, has worked with Boy George, Rufus Wainwright and Lou Reed. In 2005, he and his ensemble won Britain's most prestigious music award, the Mercury Prize.
He joins Terry Gross to talk about his varied career, and about Antony and the Johnsons' new CD, The Crying Light.

The first shots of “A Love Song” are a signal for the rest of the film — stubborn flowers and shrubs pushing through dry, stony earth in southwest Colorado. They're rough beauties, been through a lot, and yet are still captivating in their rawness.
Max Walker-Silverman’s film is also a spare beauty, delicate but strong and tenacious, exploring time, love and nature. Though it is rated PG, “A Love Song” is very much an adult film, quiet and slow and very, very restrained. It may require the viewer to relearn how to be patient amid all the rival Marvel-boom nonsense offerings at the theaters these days.
Dale Dickey, of “Winter’s Bone,” stars as a woman late in life who has set up an RV at a campsite along a lake, pulling crayfish out of the water to eat and looking hopeful whenever anyone nears. She's clearly waiting for someone and passes her time studying the stars and the birds.
Walker-Silverman, who also supplied the script — which literally could have fit on a few index cards — keeps the actors' motives and background unclear until they reveal them, leaving huge chunks of unspoken film work.
Dickey is absolutely up to the challenge, somehow communicating longing and loneliness while gruffly busying herself with day-to-day life, keeping to a routine but also seeming to yearn to break it one day. Each time she hears a car on the gravel path, she fusses with her hair like a schoolgirl.
Well, one day a man shows up with a clutch of tough-looking flowers — who also nervously fusses with his hair. It's Wes Studi playing a long-lost would-be lover from 10th grade. Can sparks fly a second time, decades apart?
“Reckon you can still love something that ain’t there no more?” she asks. He answers: "I know you can. Don’t you?”
We'd be boorish if we gave it away, but Walker-Silverman grounds his study in absolute soulful humanity. While waiting for her new-old man, our heroine visits another couple camping — Michelle Wilson and Benja K. Thomas — and they're at a romantic standoff. Even the mailman has some overly poignant moments. The filmmaker has a tendency to make every word hang in the air importantly since there are so few of them.
The only thing that seems to unbalance the film is the appearance and reappearance of a local precocious and overly polite girl and her four older and silent brothers. There's something slightly surreal and Wes Anderson about them. As dry humor, they don't really work, threatening to mar a subtle piece.
The title comes from our heroine's tendency to turn on her transistor radio and spin the dial, letting fate send her a message through the radio waves. “Always plays the perfect song even if in the moment you ain’t sure why,” she says. The film's soundtrack has Michael Hurley's “Be Kind To Me,” Dick Flood's “The Man Who Walks Alone” and Valerie June's “Slip Slide One By.”
As a viewer, you may leave the theater with more answers than when you arrived — and that's refreshing. Walker-Silverman has no interest in putting pretty bows on things, loads of past histories or sentimentality. This is what love looks like with wrinkles and sorrow but also sunshine and joy — it pushes through the harshness of life and blooms with possibility.
“A Love Song,” a Bleeker Street release, is rated PG for “mild thematic elements.” Running time: 81 minutes. Three stars out of four.

MPAA Definition of PG: Parental guidance suggested.

Helen Skelton's estranged husband Richie Myler enjoys romantic holiday with new girlfriend
HELEN SKELTON'S estranged husband Richie Myler has shared a loved-up snap alongside his girlfriend Stephanie Thirkill.
Helen Skelton feeds her baby during interview
Helen Skelton, 39, announced she had split from her husband Richie Myler, 32, in April - four months after the couple welcomed their third child. The rugby player went public about his romance with his girlfriend Stephanie Thirkill, 32, on social media earlier this month.
In his latest post, he explained the pair had enjoyed a romantic mini-break to Cornwall as he shared a photo of the duo.
Helen's former partner noted their holiday getaway was worth a "32 year wait" as Stephanie took the comment section and gushed over her boyfriend.
The Leeds Rhinos' fullback looked smitten as he beamed at the camera for a photo as the pair could be seen cuddling.
He shared a photo of the stunning landscape as well as a clip of him swimming in the sea.

In view of his 19,800 followers, Richie captioned the post: "Cornwall... Was worth a 32 year wait."
Stephanie replied: "Thanks for the best weekend! LOVE YOU."
He later took to his Instagram stories to poke fun at his girlfriend's outfit choice in a lighthearted jibe.
Sharing a snap of her wearing a long white gown that he captioned: "All for being organised but surely it's a bit early for Halloween?"
The posts come two weeks after Richie made his relationship with Stephanie Instagram official when they attended Wimbledon together.
His relationship with Stephanie came to light in May, weeks after it was announced that his eight-year marriage to Helen was over.
At the time of their separation, Helen confirmed he had left their family home.
She wrote: “Very sad to say that Richie and I are no longer a couple.

“He has left the family home."
“We will be doing our best to co parent our small children,” she added with broken heart emojis.
The Countryfile presenter is a proud mum to three young children – Ernie, seven, Louis, five, and six-month-old daughter Elsie – who she shares with ex-husband Richie.
The on-screen star has a number of jobs and is often busy filming TV projects so needs her own family to step in and help with the children.
She recently filmed the Channel 5 series Summer on the Farm, but Helen is determined not to hire full-time childcare so she can spend as much time with her brood as possible.
The TV star admitted it's "hard to split yourself three ways" as she opened up about her home life.
"Life is a bit crazy with three children and I'm not going to lie, getting the kids to school is just chaos. It's hard to split yourself three ways," Helen explained.
"My work is unpredictable, it can be five days one week, then random days the next," she shared with HELLO! magazine. | https://www.express.co.uk/celebrity-news/1646272/helen-skelton-husband-richie-myler-girlfriend-stephanie-thirkill-pictures-news | 2022-07-26T17:33:40Z | https://www.express.co.uk/celebrity-news/1646272/helen-skelton-husband-richie-myler-girlfriend-stephanie-thirkill-pictures-news | true | 1 |
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Testimony is set to begin Tuesday in a Texas lawsuit to decide how much Infowars host and conspiracy theorist 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 jury could deal Jones a major financial blow that would put his constellation of conspiracy peddling businesses into deeper jeopardy. He has already been banned from YouTube, Facebook and Spotify for violating their hate-speech policies and he claims he’s millions of dollars in debt — a claim the plaintiffs reject.
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.
Jones was in the courtroom Tuesday after not attending jury selection on Monday. His attorney said Jones has a “medical issue” that might keep him away from some of the scheduled 10-day trial, but he didn’t elaborate.
Jones arrived at the courthouse wearing a piece of silver tape over his mouth with the message “Save the 1st” printed on it — a reference to the First Amendment right to free speech. He removed it before entering the courtroom.
To take his seat at the defense table, Jones walked directly behind Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis, the parents of 6-year-old Jesse Lewis, who was one of the 20 first graders and six educators who were killed at Sandy Hook. Heslin and Lewis were escorted by plainclothes security to the courthouse and to the courtroom.
The lawsuits do not ask jurors to award a specific dollar amount against Jones. But in questioning the jury pool on Monday, attorneys for the families suggested they could seek $100 million or more in compensatory and punitive damages.
Opening statements and testimony were set for Tuesday before the 12 jurors and four alternates who were selected Monday from a jury pool of more than 100.
“We’re very glad the day is here,” said Mark Bankston, attorney for the families suing Jones. “We’re looking forward to telling our clients’ story.”
Initial testimony Tuesday is expected to include Daniel Jewiss, who was the Connecticut State Police lead investigator of Sandy Hook, and Daria Karpova, a producer at Infowars.
In questioning the jury pool, Jones’ attorney Andino Reynal acknowledged that Jones is a “very polarizing” and “controversial” figure, but he also said he’d ask the jury to cap the damages at $1.
During jury selection, most in the jury pool raised their hand when asked if they had heard of Jones, and nearly two dozen agreed when Reynal asked who among them had a “firm negative impression” of him.
“We’re very happy with the jury we’ve seated,” Reynal said. “It’s a very important First Amendment case. On trial right now is not just people’s freedom of speech, but it’s also people’s freedom to listen. To choose what they watch on television, to make those choices for themselves, instead of having a personal injury lawyer make those choices for them.”
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.
In total, the families of eight of the Sandy Hook 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.
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.
The Texas trial begins about two months after a gunman killed 19 children and two teachers at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, which is about 145 miles southwest of Austin. It was the deadliest school shooting since Sandy Hook.

As one would expect, Samantha Ruth Prabhu lives in the fancy neighbourhood of Jubilee Hills in Hyderabad. Her home is everything luxurious and packs ample acre-space of aesthetic furnishings too. While the floorings are natural and wooden, also to keep a warm vibe throughout the house, the accenting is reserved for furniture. Think bright red and dark leather sofas for the living room. However, a soft feel accompanies the bedroom, which is mainly minimalist and bathed in pastels or white.

The Daily Caller released a documentary Tuesday depicting the effects of California’s marijuana legalization on local communities.
“Narcofornia” documents two counties’ fights against drug cartels taking over their respective communities in Northern California. In Siskiyou County, the fight has pitted Californians against Asian refugees. Meanwhile, Lassen County residents scuffle with each other over whether they should embrace legal marijuana to weed out the illegal grows. Both counties’ conflicts highlight California’s legislative and legal failures and their abandonment of rural America.

“You have to understand our frustration that we have been going through this for years,” a resident remarked at a town hall. “One of our citizens got attacked on her property walking her dog by one of the pot grower’s dogs.”
These incidents appear to be more common now than in years prior.
John Nores, the former game warden for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, estimates that the state has 10,000 cartel members within its borders.
“As the enforcement started to dwindle, they rapidly increased,” a local gun-store owner said. (RELATED: EXCLUSIVE: GOP Senator Introduces Bill Cracking Down On Drug Cartel Scouts Caught At The Border)
The cartels are “organized crime groups, highly structured, well funded, very aggressive, well armed, in our forest, all over California,” Nores told the Caller.
“I want some sort of acknowledgment that it’s a problem; I have yet to even hear that,” a local deputy told the Caller. (RELATED: Rep. Gaetz Asks Fellow Republicans To Flip On Marijuana Legalization)
California voted to legalize recreational marijuana in Nov. 2016. Many argued that the market would become safer if state officials could regulate the previously underground cartels while creating economic revenue. Northern California authorities are battling illegal grow plantations, violence, and ecological damage caused by cartel operations. | https://dailycaller.com/2022/07/26/documentary-video-farms-california-drug-cartels-siskiyou-lassen-county/ | 2022-07-26T17:42:36Z | https://dailycaller.com/2022/07/26/documentary-video-farms-california-drug-cartels-siskiyou-lassen-county/ | true | 1 |

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Todd Kirkpatrick Vaughan on July 11, 2022 at home on Boca Grande.Todd finally succumbed to battling cancer at the age of 80.
Todd is survived by his loving wife, Janie (Susemihl Griffin), his brother, Randolph Meriwether Vaughan (Maureen), his two children Hayley Vaughan Burner (Geoffrey Hazard) and Christopher Dutton (Bernadette) and his stepdaughter Elizabeth Griffin Petrelli (Nicholas). He has a niece and nephew and eight grandchildren.
His maternal family was originally from Pittsburgh in the steel business and relocated to Maryland’s Eastern Shore before Todd was born in NYC in 1941; the son of Jane Todd and Richard Vaughan.
After getting an MBA from Wharton, Todd worked briefly in the corporate world (Marine Midland Bank, Hertz, and American Express) but his spirit was always entrepreneurial, and he soon grew restless for more independence. Eventually he found a passion for real estate development and built a number of homes on Nantucket later switching his attention to Maryland with properties around Oxford, Easton and Cambridge. He later moved to Baltimore and helped rejuvenate various areas of Butchers Hill.
In 2012 Todd retired with Janie to Boca Grande.Todd enjoyed membership to a variety of clubs, formally, The Brook in NYC, Racquet and Tennis Club of NYC, The Sloane Club in Londo and The Nantucket Yacht Club. Until his death he enjoyed membership at Maryland Club, the Boca Grande Club, the Boca Bay Pass Yacht Club and the Boca Grande Men’s Club.
Todd had a lifelong love of travel, which began at the young age of six while living in Japan and continued to grow throughout his lifetime. This passion for travel ultimately led Todd to invest in a private travel agency, allowing him to fly extensively around the world and immerse himself in countless cultures. Before his mother’s death, he used to visit her regularly on the Isle of Wight. Todd loved beautiful gardens, art and fine clothes. He was an accomplished backgammon player. He was curious and inquisitive and loved endless conversations. He was a veteran of the US Army.
After cremation, a memorial service is anticipated in November on Boca Grande. Friends and family wishing to honor Todd are asked to make a donation in his name to Englewood Helping Hand, Inc of Florida or Bakhita Kids in Maryland. | https://bocabeacon.com/obituary-todd-vaughan/ | 2022-07-26T17:46:30Z | https://bocabeacon.com/obituary-todd-vaughan/ | false | 1 |

America is the land of the free and the home of the brave because, centuries ago, young men fought to make it so. To keep that vision alive today, we must do our part to protect those freedoms. The easiest and most effective way to do this is to vote.
Florida has a primary election in every county that includes offices from county to statewide. Our primary election is scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 23. The purpose is to choose party nominees to be voted for in the general election in November. But even voters who are not members of a political party can vote in August in judicial and school board races, as well as those partisan elections where there are no opposing candidates in November.
Our forefathers framed voting rights when they signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Over the years, our nation evolved and expanded those rights to various groups.
American women were granted the right to vote in August 1920.
In 1924, Native Americans became voters.
President Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act into law, guaranteeing African Americans the right to vote in 1965.
He said, “The right to vote is the basic right without which all others are meaningless. It gives people, people as individuals control over their own destinies.”
Non-English-speaking voters were recognized in 1975.
In the 1980s, voting got easier for people with disabilities and the elderly. Laws making polling places handicapped accessible were passed in 1984.
We all know elections can be decided by people who vote. But sadly, many elections are decided by those who fail to vote. That is why I am asking you today to learn about elections in your community. Find the candidates who best align with your views and beliefs. Then, go to the polls and vote!
Seniors Across America recognizes that nearly one out of five Floridians are over 65, and seniors vote at twice the rate of younger voters. Our state is changing. It’s getting more expensive for seniors, with price increases affecting housing, groceries, insurance and health care.
If you want to have a say in issues that affect your life, then you must vote. Susan B. Anthony, a powerful women’s rights activist during the suffragette movement in the early 20th century, once said, “Someone struggled for your right to vote. Use it.”
The Florida primary is weeks away, and I encourage people who have the time and the desire to get involved. Hold neighborhood parties. Carry or set up signs on the streets in your community. Host election events so others will get involved.
Not only is voting our right — it is our duty. Let’s make our forefathers proud and use it so we don’t lose it.
John Grant is the president and executive director of Seniors Across America and a former Florida state senator. | https://www.sun-sentinel.com/opinion/commentary/fl-op-com-voting-rights-gotv-20220726-3ciph7o4bnbt3jz6nw6v34jdci-story.html | 2022-07-26T17:48:30Z | https://www.sun-sentinel.com/opinion/commentary/fl-op-com-voting-rights-gotv-20220726-3ciph7o4bnbt3jz6nw6v34jdci-story.html | false | 2 |
Which cotton candy machine is best?
Cotton candy may be one of the most nostalgic markers of childhood joy. Bringing back memories of summer nights at a traveling circus or local carnival, cotton candy machines let you spin clouds of pillowy sugar in the comfort of your backyard. The best cotton candy machine means this delicious treat is just minutes away.
How to select a cotton candy machine
Commercial vs. home use
The first consideration is whether you want a machine for commercial or home use.
- Commercial: Commercial machines are durable and built to last through many servings of fluffy spun sugar. Although this is great in theory, in practice this makes commercial cotton candy machines heavier and more expensive. If you only make this confection now and then, it may not be worth it.
- Home use: For the average home cook who just wants to make cotton candy for the occasional birthday party or sleepover, machines designed for home use may be the best choice. These are more affordable and also more compact.
Cart vs. countertop
You’ll need to determine how and where you’ll use your cotton candy machine when deciding between a cart versus a countertop style.
- Cart: Carts are great for cotton candy poolside or somewhere other than your kitchen. However, they do require additional storage space and can be more expensive.
- Countertop: Countertop models have a smaller footprint and perform just as well as carts. They can be used anywhere there is an outlet, but they need a sturdy, heat-resistant surface to sit on.
Important cotton candy machine features
The best cotton candy machines come loaded with features that bring the aromas and flavors of the fair to your door.
Quick warm-up
The first thing to look for is quick heating. Some cotton candy machines take as many as six minutes, while others can be ready to go in just two. Commercial machines are more likely to heat faster.
Nearly instant candy floss
When your machine is ready to go, no one wants to wait for their treat. Machines that hold their heat better produce more servings of cotton candy in less time.
The speed of treat creation is related to the number of watts your machine uses. Commercial machines with 1,800 watts can churn out six servings of cotton candy per minute, while lower-watt machines (900 or less) may only make one in the same amount of time.
Domes
A clear dome keeps the thin, sugary threads in the bowl (and not all over the counter or the lawn). Look for a dome with a wide opening in the front. This lets you easily insert a hand to gather the cotton candy.
Safety features
Because of the heat involved in melting and spinning sugar into delicate floss, safety features are critical. These include locking mechanisms on the bowl and heat-safe exteriors that stay cool.
Regardless of which safety features your cotton candy machine includes, children should never operate these machines without adult supervision.
Large reservoir
A large reservoir means your machine can create multiple servings without the need for sugar refills. Look for a reservoir that can hold at least as many servings as there are people in your household.
Included floss sugar
If you are new to cotton candy making, it may be best to purchase the machine that comes with floss sugar to get you started. This lets you try multiple flavors and doesn’t send you back to the store for specialty sugar products.

For many parents, the idea of having a "sex talk" with their kids is nothing short of cringe-inducing. But sex educator Cory Silverberg says it doesn't have to be that way.
Silverberg was raised by a children's librarian and a sex therapist in a household where the topic of sexuality was hardly taboo. Instead, Silverberg says, it was just part of the conversation in a way that other families might talk about music or sports.
"Because of what they did for a living, they were daily topics," Silverberg says. "Sex was always on the table as something to talk about."
Much of Silverberg's approach as a sex educator comes from their own experience as a queer, gender non-conforming person. Their new book, You Know, Sex, co-authored with illustrator Fiona Smyth, is geared toward young people hitting puberty, and their parents and caregivers.
Silverberg notes that young people are surrounded by sex; it's in the media, in the news, in pop culture. "And that stuff is not about reproduction," they say. Their aim in writing the book was to give young people the space to think through their feelings about sex — not just the mechanics of it, but also topics like gender identity, disability, consent and power dynamics.
"A lot of sex education centers either the adult expert and what they think young people as a population need to know, or it centers parents and their fears and concerns," Silverberg says. "Our books center young people."
Interview highlights
On starting off defining sex three ways
The first thing I want kids to know is that sex is a word — because we think of it as this objective thing that exists. And for young people, they often think about it as this thing that they don't know about, that they're not supposed to know about, and therefore, they're usually a little bit curious about. And I really want to kind of undo that manufactured titillation — and so we start by saying sex is a word and we say it's a funny word because it's short, but it means many things.
We start with, first of all, that sex is a word we use to define bodies, to describe bodies. So humans have come up with this idea of male and female as categories. And we just say very quickly, there's more than those two categories. So there's that. Sex is also something people do to feel good in their bodies. So for the younger children I say it's something people do to feel good in their bodies and to feel connected to other people. So that's sort of the second definition. And so for adults, of course, we would talk about that as "having sex." And then the third definition that we talk about when we talk about sex is that it's one way we can make babies, so it's one way that humans reproduce.
On making sex education less about reproduction
So much sex education starts with reproduction and the fact is that most of the sex that happens on the planet is not for reproduction. ... So for me, it was fundamental to start by separating these out, because that's our experience. ... This is a book that really looks at sex and gender as relational. So when we think about these things as a relationship, it's actually important to start with the relationship. You need to start by kind of breaking it down because it does feel for a lot of us — and this is not just for young people — it feels like a monolith, right? It feels like this terrifying thing that we don't know enough about that we probably aren't doing right. And the first thing I wanted to do is sort of just like [ask] everyone just to take a deep breath, right? Let's just relax and and acknowledge that this is a thing in our world and that we can explore it in ways that feel safe and comfortable and respect each other's boundaries.
On being honest with kids that not all sex is good — and that asexuality is OK too
The way that we talk about sex in our world is doesn't actually reflect people's experience. One of my older jobs was I had actually worked in kind of a queer feminist sex store. So for many years, I talk to people about their sex lives, adults, in these brief interactions. And so I've talked to thousands of people and it was very clear to me that everybody's experience of this is not what we ever see on TV and movies or in educational books. It's not true that sex is always great. It's not true that everyone's going to learn to enjoy it. Because the other thing, of course, is that ... we now know that there's an orientation called asexual, that there's some of us who actually aren't that interested in the sex part of this whole world. We might be interested in relationships and family and intimacy, but the idea of getting naked and doing things with someone else [holds] no interest and never will. And that is perfectly fine. That's perfectly within the realm of predictable human experience.
So I don't want to set kids up for this idea that there's a future [expectation.] Part of my work as a queer person is to really be thinking about futures. Because when I was young, I didn't know that I had one, and that's actually what put me at the greatest risk. I'm a parent, too, and it's very hard for us parents not to. Of course, we want to imagine our kids' futures. That is fine and it makes sense that I do it. The problem is that we can't. We can never know what our kids' futures are going to be like. And when we tell them, "This is your future," when we give them picture books and educational books and say, "You're going to get married or you're going to get this kind of job, or you're going to find happiness in this way." When they don't, it becomes a real problem.
On unprocessed trauma being a barrier to these conversations
The reality is that many of us live with trauma around sex. So many of us, unfortunately, have experienced violence or harassment or bullying or some combination. And then we find our ways to survive it, we don't necessarily get the opportunity to really unpack it. And then we have a kid and then we realize we need to have these conversations. So for many of us, it's because we don't know how to put up our own boundaries and feel safe in having these conversations. ...
Then, in addition to that, ... we treat [sex] like it's this titillating thing, that it's both this thing that's beautiful and amazing and also kind of evil and shouldn't be done, so the outcome of that is, it's not a daily conversation. ... And then of course, the fact that we now live with the Internet and social media mean that our kids are exposed to so much more information earlier. So a lot of us feel like we're playing catchup.
On how to bring up the topic or sex with kids, and at what age
Part of the goal is that sex becomes a daily conversation. There's always opportunities. So whether that's the fleeting glimpse of a sexy music video or a news story about #MeToo, or an interaction a kid noticed in the playground that may be gendered in a particular way, all of those are examples of an opportunity to talk about sex. We are not talking about activity. We're not talking about explaining how a baby is made. With the activity, we're really talking about how we relate to each other, how we respect and treat each other's bodies. ...
Parents actually do this and they just don't realize that they're teaching about sex. ... We're teaching and talking to our kids about sex all the time. We just don't realize it. So, for example, if we are not watching a certain movie or you can read this book series up to this point if the reason is because it gets too sexually explicit and we don't tell our kids that that's why, we're teaching them something about sex. And of course, when we make those decisions, which I fully support, it's an opportunity to also say, like, "Because there's material in that book that I'm just not sure you're ready for yet. And being a parent, I'm still the one who's going to make those calls. And as you get older, you'll get to have more control over that." Part of what's important about that is it lets our kids know they can ask questions. What's most important, I would say, is to not shut it down. I think the one thing that's harmful is to say, like, "We can never talk about this."
On teaching kids about power and consent
Power is at the core of all of this. ... I do not know how to talk to young people about gender, sexuality or being human without talking about power. Part of what I'm always really interested in is the things that connect all of us humans and the things that make us different. And something that connects all children all around the world is their lack of power. Children do not have most basic rights. They don't really have access to their body autonomy. We send them to school. We buy the clothes for them. We pull them out of the street. I'm not I'm not saying that's a bad thing, a lot of it is for their safety. We ensure that they survive. But that means that we make choices about their bodies without asking them. ... Because that happens, they get used to it and they and they stop realizing that they do have power. ... When they can make a choice that has power, when they can assert their body autonomy, even in a small way, that has power. That's so much more important when it comes to a lesson about sexuality, than talking about anatomy and how a body works. I'm mostly interested in people's experience, so I'm interested in what is the young person's experience of these things.
On what to do about a kid seeing sexually explicit material
No matter what the young person's experience of seeing it is, they will be helped by having a space where they can talk about it. It will be made better. What is actually more harmful is that most kids think they cannot ask questions about it, because we don't talk about it. So they think they're going to be in trouble, and so therefore, they don't tell their parents about it, or they don't tell their teacher if someone at the library is trying to get them to look at something. ... We really want our kids to know and they can ask us anything and that they're not going to get punished for it.

NEW YORK (AP) — Former Vice President Mike Pence will publish his autobiography just after this year’s midterm elections and it will be titled “So Help Me God.”
The book will recount Pence’s journey from his Indiana youth to the vice presidency, with stops in the House of Representatives and governor’s mansion in between, according to publisher Simon & Schuster. It promises to also discuss his rift with former President Donald Trump on Jan. 6, 2021, when, according to the publisher, “Pence kept his oath to the Constitution.”
Trump supporters, and Trump himself, denounced him for not intervening on Jan. 6 in Congress’ formal certification of President Joe Biden’s presidential victory. The certification — which Pence had no power to change — was delayed for hours after hundreds of Trump supporters, some chanting “Hang Mike Pence!,” stormed the U.S. Capitol.
The book will be available on Nov. 15, earlier that initially expected. It was previously announced for next year.
According to a statement from Simon & Schuster, the memoir is “the inside story of the Trump administration by its second-highest ranking official and of a profound faith that has guided Pence throughout his life.”
In addition to Pence, other Trump administration officials to issue books include former White House advisor Kellyanne Conway, former National Security Advisor John Bolton and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. | https://www.wrbl.com/news/politics/ap-politics/former-vice-president-mike-pence-to-release-memoir-in-nov/ | 2022-07-26T17:58:49Z | https://www.wrbl.com/news/politics/ap-politics/former-vice-president-mike-pence-to-release-memoir-in-nov/ | false | 38 |

Tickets for Adele’s newly announced Las Vegas residency are currently being sold for a staggering $40K (£33,267,60) each online.
Beginning November 18, Adele will take the Colosseum stage at Caesars Palace on the Las Vegas Strip each weekend through March, with off dates planned for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s.
But the highly anticipated residency has already fallen victim to online price hikes, with third ticket party ticket websites like StubHub demanding exorbitant prices from concert-goers.

For Adele’s opening night, two front-row tickets are listed for $41,280 each.
With StubHub’s $6,191.93 per ticket service fee, as well as a $2.98 per ticket fulfilment fee, the total cost comes to a mind-blowing $94,949.82 (£78,962.63)
StubHub does not have a set fee percentage that applies to ticket sales. Instead, the ticket broker says its service fee is based on the ticket price and supply and demand.
The more moderate tickets range from a little above $4K to $20K.
The reps for The Colosseum at Caesar’s Palace have not commented on the steep prices.
Furious fans took to Twitter to comment.
One blasted: “No one is worth THAT KIND OF MONEY! Ridiculous! It is a hard time for most Americans right now. I hope there are many empty seats at these concerts!!”
A second raged: “Boycott boycott boycott,” while a third added: “Gotta get a 2nd mortgage to get a ticket.”
Adele cancelled her Las Vegas residency citing complications due to Covid.
However, the Academy Award-winning songstress announced yesterday she is rescheduling her shows, telling fans on Instagram: “Words can’t explain how ecstatic I am to finally be able to announce these rescheduled shows. I truly was heartbroken to have to cancel them.”
The Easy On Me singer continued, “But after what feels like an eternity of figuring out logistics for the show that I really want to deliver, and knowing it can happen, I’m more excited than ever!”
Speaking of her decision to cancel her first residency, Adele added, “Now I know for some of you it was a horrible decision on my part, and I will always be sorry for that, but I promise you it was the right one.
“To be with you in such an intimate space every week has been what I’ve most been looking forward to and I’m going to give you the absolute best of me. Thank you for your patience, I love you. Adele.”
