Self-confidence is a fundamental quality for a Formula 1 driver and certainly not a feature that is lacking in Charles Leclerc. The Monegasque of Ferrari, who appeared disappointed and disenchanted after the mistake made in the Paul Ricard race that made a possible victory slip out of his hands, returned to Hungary more combative than ever. His team principal, Mattia Binottoafter the French debacle he had tried to motivate him, underlining how the Maranello team would arrive in Budapest as a favorite and inviting the team to look for a double at all costs that would allow them to maximize the recovery of points over Max Verstappen.
But the number one on the red wall had also gone further, underlining how in his opinion it was not impossible to imagine a Ferrari capable of winning all races from now to the end of the championship, thus reopening a contest that now seems to be closed in favor of the reigning world champion, with an advantage in the general classification of 63 points. In an article published here on FormulaPassion.it we explained how, on an arithmetic level, also an en plein of ten consecutive victories may not guarantee Leclerc the title. In fact, if Verstappen were to always finish second, conquering even nine fastest laps, he would still be the champion. The red # 16, however, speaking with the journalists present in Hungary, wanted to overturn the reasoning.
“Maybe people will think I’m crazy, but from reading the statistics I know that if I win every race and Max finishes second without doing the fastest laps we can still win the championship. I read it on Twitter – Leclerc told speaking on French TV Canal + – now I just have to win all the remaining races. It will not be easy but this is the spirit we must have, otherwise I would stay at home. What motivates me in F1 is winning, so I’ll believe it until the end “. Tornado on the mistake of seven days ago, Leclerc denied that it was due to the excessive pressure placed on him ‘at a distance’ by Verstappen. “The real pressure was when I had Max behind me – he pointed out – on lap 18 he opted for a strategy that was not too optimal and I started to push, concentrate on my race. When you go to the limit you can make mistakes. I exaggerated, that’s all “he concluded.

Procter & Gamble's sales rose 3% in the fiscal fourth quarter, but the world's largest consumer products maker gave a lackluster fiscal 2023 sales forecast as it contends with rising commodity and freight costs.
Shares of the Cincinnati-based company dropped 5% in morning trading Friday.
Like many businesses, P&G is dealing with consumers pulling back on their spending as they worry about inflation and a possible recession.
“The operational cost and currency challenges we faced over the last two years will continue in fiscal 2023. We began the new fiscal year with consumers facing inflation levels not seen in the last 40 years," Chairman and CEO Jon Moeller said during a conference call.
Despite consumers' growing concerns, P&G's revenue climbed to $19.52 billion from $18.9 billion during the quarter, helped by higher prices. This topped the $19.39 billion that analysts surveyed by Zacks Investment Research were looking for.
The company reported sales growth in its health care, fabric and home care and baby, feminine and family care segments. Its brands include Tide detergent, Gillette razors and Pampers diapers.
P&G earned $3.05 billion, or $1.21 per share, for the April through June period. That's 2 cents shy of what Wall Street expected.
The company reported fiscal 2022 sales of $80.2 billion and earnings of $5.81 per share.
For fiscal 2023, P&G foresees sales to be flat to up 2% from the prior year. Earnings are anticipated to be flat to up 4% from the previous year's $5.81 per share. Analysts polled by FactSet expect sales of $81.89 billion and earnings of $6.02 per share. | https://www.theridgefieldpress.com/business/article/P-G-s-sales-climb-in-Q4-but-cautious-on-fiscal-17337930.php | 2022-07-29T14:26:24Z | https://www.theridgefieldpress.com/business/article/P-G-s-sales-climb-in-Q4-but-cautious-on-fiscal-17337930.php | false | 23 |

Suwanee’s George Loheac, who recently graduated from Interlochen Arts Academy, won the Senior Men’s Classical Ballet Award at the Youth American Grand Prix Semifinals in Indianapolis this spring.
George Loheac just turned 18, and he already has a good idea about what his future holds. Chances are that dance will be a large part.
One affirmation of Loheac’s talent is the trophy he recently won at the prestigious Youth America Grand Prix Semifinals in Indianapolis this past April: “First Place, Men’s Senior Classical Ballet Division”.
He has subsequently received many professional dance opportunities, but the next stop for Loheac will be Florida State University where he will study dance and hospitality.
Loheac’s journey began in his native New Jersey where he followed in his sister’s “footsteps” to dance classes.
“After trying out lots of other sports, I took a shot at dance,” he said.
Loheac’s parents relocated to Suwanee, and soon he was attending nearby Dance Arts Centre. In the eighth grade, Loheac and his mom visited New York City so that he could audition for Interlochen Arts Academy, a boarding school in northern Michigan with an excellent reputation for training young artists.
Interlochen immediately appreciated Loheac’s potential and offered him a scholarship.
“My family had searched far and wide for a program that would give me strong academics with conservatory-level dance training. It seemed a perfect fit for me and my artistic desires at the time,” Loheac said.
Interlochen eventually offered Loheac performing opportunities such as Romeo in “Romeo and Juliet.”
“Dancing Romeo requires lots of acting and emotion,” Loheac said, “which was the hardest adjustment for me. Thankfully, I had an amazing Juliet and wonderful training, so it got easier over time.”
Loheac had trained in many other forms of dance when he studied with Suwanee’s Dance Arts Centre. He successfully competed in contemporary, modern, jazz, tap, and hip hop, winning many awards. At FSU, he can revisit these forms of movement.
“Classical ballet is still my favorite as a future career, but I plan to further explore other forms of dance at FSU,” he said. “I definitely hope to use my art as a career, but I think it’s important to have a side plan at the same time.”
Future career possibilities in the world of hospitality are beckoning. Cruise ships are of interest to Loheac, especially the entertainment possibilities and the opportunities to travel. Dance photography is another interest to be explored in the future, as is costume design and production.
“I always volunteered in costume shops,” he said. “I love costumes from anywhere.”
Whatever Loheac pursues in the future, many people think he will be successful.
One such person is the Interlochen Director of Dance, Joseph Morrissey, who spoke of Loheac as a student.
“As a four-year Interlochen Arts Academy student, George sets a fine example of what one can do with hard work, determination, and positivity with everything he does in the studio and on stage,” Morrissey said. “It is rewarding for me as an instructor to be part of George’s continued artistic successes.”

A 38-year-old man has been charged in connection with a hammer attack in which a man in his twenties was hospitalised in a critical condition whilst his mother in her sixties was seriously injured.
Ian Horgan (38) formerly of the Hermitage in Macroom and Ballincollig, Co Cork appeared before Cork District Court this morning where he was charged with four offences.
Det Sgt Mick O’Halloran gave evidence of arrest, charge and caution. He said that he arrested Mr Horgan at 10.45am on Friday at Cork District Court and charged him with the four offences.
Mr Horgan made no reply when the charges were put to him under caution.
Mr Horgan is charged with Section 3 assault causing harm to Mary O’Callaghan and Section 3 assault causing serious harm to Hassan Baker. He was also charged with aggravated burglary and production of an article — namely a hammer.
All of the alleged offences occurred on the afternoon of March 26th last at McCurtain Village on the southside of Cork city.
Gardaí sought a remand for a week for the DPP directions. Frank Buttimer, defence solicitor, said that his client had no plan to make a bail application at this juncture.
Free legal aid was granted to the accused.
Judge Olann Kelleher remanded Mr Horgan in custody. He will appear before the court again on August 5th next by video link. | https://www.echolive.ie/nationalnews/arid-40929485.html | 2022-07-29T14:49:55Z | https://www.echolive.ie/nationalnews/arid-40929485.html | true | 1 |
In portions of southern New Mexico and eastern Arizona, dwell several packs of Mexican gray wolves in the Chihuahuan Desert.
Once common throughout the Southwest and Mexico, the Mexican wolf was almost eliminated from the wild by the 1970s.
In 1976, the Mexican wolf, the smallest of the gray wolf subspecies, was on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s endangered list.
Soon after, a binational captive breeding program was initiated to save this unique creature from extinction.
Forty-six years later, the unmistakable howl of the Mexican wolf can be heard again in the desert mountains of the Southwest.
The El Paso Zoo is playing a major role in the efforts to restore the Mexican wolf population.
Since 1998, wolves born at the El Paso Zoo have been used to reintroduce the species to the wild in Arizona, New Mexico and Sonora, Mexico through a cross-fostering program that entails adding wolf pups born in captivity to wild litters.
“It’s great to see all the different generations of wolves in one facility,” said Joe Montisano, El Paso Zoo director. “It’s also outstanding to be repopulating the wild wolf population, and adding genetic diversity to it as well.”
According to the Mexican Wolf Interagency Field Team, which conduced ground and aerial counts of Mexican wolves in Arizona and New Mexico from November 2021 through February 2022, there were close to 200 wolves - 112 in New Mexico and 84 in Arizona.
The nine wolves living in the Mexican Wolf exhibit at the El Paso Zoo include Tazanna and Tulio, the matriarch and patriarch of the pack.
“We opened this exhibit right before COVID hit in 2020,” Montisano said. “At the time, we had two older wolves. One retired to a sanctuary in New Mexico and the other one passed away.”
The El Paso Zoo acquired Tazanna, Tulio and three pups from its first litter from another zoo.
“They bred again and we placed two pups in the wild and kept two boys. Now, we have five male pups from the original mom and dad,” he said. “The third litter, we had a total of five, with three going into the wild. We kept a male and a female.”
In May, the three pups born in El Paso joined eight other captive-born pups to be fostered into five wild wolf packs in New Mexico and Arizona.
The 11 pups traveled across the United State as part of a coordinated effort to place genetically diverse, captive-born wolves into the wild population.
The Mexican wolf recovery efforts are led by the Arizona Game and Fish Department, New Mexico Department of Game and Fish, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
“The care, planning and teamwork that went into this year’s cross-fostering is remarkable,” said Ed Davis, biologist at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. “Many contributed to the success of this year’s efforts, including interns, biologists, veterinarians, captive facility staff, and individuals who provided flight support. It will take all of us continuing to work together to achieve greater genetic diversity in the wild population.”
The Mexican wolf fostering program, which is its seventh year, is a proven method used by the Mexican Wolf Interagency Field Team to increase genetic diversity in the wild.
It begins with carefully managed breeding by the Mexican Wolf Species Survival Plan program to produce genetically diverse pups within the captive population.
Within 14 days of birth, the captive-born pups are placed in a den and mixed with wild pups of the same age. The hope is the female’s maternal instinct kicks in and she will care for the wild and captive-born pups. The pups will learn the skills needed for life in the wild.
“The dens in the wild are monitored so we’ll know when pups are going to be born,” Montisano said. “Once we have our pups, we let the state agency know and they’ll inform us how many dens in the wild will be available to fill with our babies.”
Montisano said the zoo staff is careful not to touch the pups with their bare hands.
“From the day we pull them from the den here, they are handled with gloves on so there isn’t a human scent on them,” he said. “We give them a health check to make sure there aren’t any major defects, we draw blood for a DNA sample, then we put a radio tracker on them so we can monitor them and make sure they are OK in the wild.”
He said the zoo will not transport the pups into the wild if they show signs of any birth defect. Once in the wild, if the monitor does not pick up any movement, they will go into the den to check on the pup.
Montisano said they have not had to do that.
“Our goal is to diversify the DNA in the wild,” he said. “The number of wolves in the wild was so low, there was a concern about in-breed issues and other health issues. This allows the wolves to diversify their DNA (so they can breed safely) which means there will be healthy wolves in the wild.”
The four other zoos that provided pups for this mission were the Brookfield Zoo in Chicago, the
Wolf Conservation Center in South Salem, N.Y., the Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center in Scottsdale and the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge in Socorro, N.M.
“Since the inception of the program, 83 pups have been placed into wild wolf dens and as a result, three of four genetic metrics have shown improvements, which bodes well for the long-term survival of the Mexican wolf,” said Jim deVos, Arizona Game and Fish Department’s Mexican Wolf Coordinator. “Planning has already begun for the 2023 fostering program, with a goal of getting more pups in dens next year than this year.”

JACKSON, Ky. — Search and rescue teams backed by the National Guard searched Friday for people missing in record floods that wiped out entire communities in some of the poorest places in America. Kentucky’s governor said 15 people have died, a toll he expected to grow as the rain keeps falling.
“We’ve still got a lot of searching to do,” said Jerry Stacy, the emergency management director in Kentucky ’s hard-hit Perry County. “We still have missing people.”
Powerful floodwaters swallowed towns that hug creeks and streams in Appalachian valleys and hollows, swamping homes and businesses, leaving vehicles in useless piles and crunching runaway equipment and debris against bridges. Mudslides on steep slopes left many people marooned and without power, making rescues more difficult.
Gov. Andy Beshear said on Twitter before touring the disaster area Friday that the 15 dead in Kentucky includes children, “but I expect that number to more than double, probably even throughout today.”
Emergency crews made close to 50 air rescues and hundreds of water rescues on Thursday, and more people still needed help, the governor said. "This is not only an ongoing disaster but an ongoing search and rescue. The water is not going to crest in some areas until tomorrow.”
Determining the number of people unaccounted for is tough with cell service and electricity out across the disaster area, he said: “This is so widespread, it’s a challenge on even local officials to put that number together.”
More than 200 people have sought shelter, Beshear said. He deployed National Guard soldiers to the hardest-hit areas. Three parks set up shelters, and with property damage so extensive, the governor opened an online portal for donations to the victims. President Joe Biden called to express his support for what will be a lengthy recovery effort, Beshear said, predicting it will take more than a year to fully rebuild.
More rain Friday tormented the region after days of torrential rainfall. The storm sent water gushing from hillsides and surging out of streambeds, inundating roads and forcing rescue crews to use helicopters and boats to reach trapped people. Flooding also damaged parts of western Virginia and southern West Virginia, across a region where poverty is endemic.
“There are hundreds of families that have lost everything,” Beshear said. “And many of these families didn’t have much to begin with. And so it hurts even more. But we’re going to be there for them.”
Poweroutage.us reported more than 33,000 customers remained without electricity Friday in eastern Kentucky, West Virginia and Virginia, with the bulk of the outages in Kentucky.
Rescue crews also worked in Virginia and West Virginia to reach people in places where roads weren’t passable. Gov. Jim Justice declared a state of emergency for six counties in West Virginia where the flooding downed trees, power outages and blocked roads. Gov. Glenn Youngkin also made an emergency declaration, enabling Virginia to mobilize resources across flooded areas of southwest Virginia.
“With more rainfall forecasted over the next few days, we want to lean forward in providing as many resources possible to assist those affected,” Youngkin said in a statement.
While some floodwaters receded after peaking Thursday, the National Weather Service said flash flooding remained possible through Friday evening in places across the region.
The hardest hit areas of eastern Kentucky received between 8 and 10 1/2 inches over a 48-hour period ending Thursday, said Brandon Bonds, meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Jackson. Some areas got more rain overnight, including Martin County, which was pounded with another 3 inches or so leading to new a flash flood warning on Friday.
The North Fork of the Kentucky River rose to broke records in at least two places. A river gauge recorded 20.9 feet (6.4 meters) in Whitesburg, more than 6 feet (1.8 meters) over the previous record, and the river crested at a record 43.47 feet (13.25 meters) in Jackson, Bonds said.
Bonds said some places could see more rain Friday afternoon, and begin to dry out on Saturday “before things pick back up Sunday and into next week.”
Krystal Holbrook already had enough on Thursday, as her family raced through the night to move vehicles, campers, trailers and equipment as the rapidly rising floodwaters menaced her southeastern Kentucky town of Jackson. "Higher ground is getting a little bit difficult” to find, she said.
In Whitesburg, Kentucky, floodwaters seeped into Appalshop, an arts and education center renowned for promoting and preserving the region's history and culture.
“We’re not sure exactly the full damage because we haven’t been able to safely go into the building or really get too close to it," said Meredith Scalos, its communications director. “We do know that some of our archival materials have flooded out of the building into Whitesburg streets.”

Chit chat: Pixie mingled with other guests on the day
The couple married in front of family and friends at Ely Cathedral in Cambridgeshire after they postponed their wedding due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Celebrity guests at the wedding included McFly singer Danny Jones, actor Idris Elba’s wife Sabrina, and Strictly Come Dancing contestant Emma Weymouth.
And the singer gave more insight into their big day in videos shared to Instagram where she unveiled a previously unseen second wedding dress.
The pair were seen exchanging vows in the incredible building with Gothic architecture and a choir – after having to postpone their big day several times due to Covid.

She wore an ivory wedding dress by Schiaparelli and designed by Daniel Roseberry with jewel detailing on the transparent sleeves.
The Mama Do singer grabbed a beautiful bouquet of white roses and later turned into her second wedding ensemble to throw the bouquet.
Pixie said in 2019 that she and Oliver wanted to wait for a formal ceremony and not “lock” one into their schedules.
The singer told new! magazine about postponing her wedding due to the Covid outbreak: “I didn’t want to do it when there were restrictions and we couldn’t invite everyone we wanted because of the rules.
“I wanted to wait until we could throw the big party – our wedding is going to be a big one.”
Pixie met Oliver at a Select Models event in 2010, with the model raising the question in November 2016 on the steps of St Paul’s Cathedral in London.

Liz Truss squirmed as she was challenged by Nick Ferrari on 'rude' comments she made about the school she went to as a youngster.
"I'm not claiming it was a sink school," she clarified of the remarks, which saw her accuse Roundhay School in Leeds as 'letting down' pupils. "It was an average comprehensive at the time."
However, Ferrari was quick to point out it's in a very nice area, and a good school.
"The teaching was patchy...we didn't have league tables at the time," she added.

Procter & Gamble's sales rose 3% in the fiscal fourth quarter, but the world's largest consumer products maker gave a lackluster fiscal 2023 sales forecast as it contends with rising commodity and freight costs.
Shares of the Cincinnati-based company dropped 5% in morning trading Friday.
Like many businesses, P&G is dealing with consumers pulling back on their spending as they worry about inflation and a possible recession.
“The operational cost and currency challenges we faced over the last two years will continue in fiscal 2023. We began the new fiscal year with consumers facing inflation levels not seen in the last 40 years," Chairman and CEO Jon Moeller said during a conference call.
Despite consumers' growing concerns, P&G's revenue climbed to $19.52 billion from $18.9 billion during the quarter, helped by higher prices. This topped the $19.39 billion that analysts surveyed by Zacks Investment Research were looking for.
The company reported sales growth in its health care, fabric and home care and baby, feminine and family care segments. Its brands include Tide detergent, Gillette razors and Pampers diapers.
P&G earned $3.05 billion, or $1.21 per share, for the April through June period. That's 2 cents shy of what Wall Street expected.
The company reported fiscal 2022 sales of $80.2 billion and earnings of $5.81 per share.
For fiscal 2023, P&G foresees sales to be flat to up 2% from the prior year. Earnings are anticipated to be flat to up 4% from the previous year's $5.81 per share. Analysts polled by FactSet expect sales of $81.89 billion and earnings of $6.02 per share. | https://www.thehour.com/business/article/P-G-s-sales-climb-in-Q4-but-cautious-on-fiscal-17337930.php | 2022-07-29T14:59:17Z | https://www.thehour.com/business/article/P-G-s-sales-climb-in-Q4-but-cautious-on-fiscal-17337930.php | true | 23 |
NBA player Jarred Vanderbilt was born and raised in Houston, TX, and went to Victory Prep Academy for basketball. His high-flying dunks and incredible athleticism caught the eyes of several college scouts. As a senior, he averaged 28.5 points, 13.4 rebounds and 8.8 assists per game. This gave Victory Prep more recognition, as they played more city-wide tournaments during his upperclassmen years. In three months, his popularity in Texas transitioned nationwide. After four years in the NBA, he is now a member of the Utah Jazz.
This past weekend was the third annual Jarred Vanderbilt basketball training camp in Houston, where many youngsters go to meet him, practice various basketball drills, take pictures, and play some 5 on 5.
The one on one
During some down time, I was able to get a chance to talk with him, ask some questions about his status in the NBA, and get to know what motivates him to give back to the community:
Q: You had your first full season as a starter for the Minnesota Timberwolves. How did that feel for you, given your injury history?
Jarred: It felt great. All the stuff I overcame from injuries to not playing in certain situations. It was great to prevail through all of that. To become a starter in the NBA. It’s a testament to the work that I put in, the faith I had throughout the whole process. Just sticking with it. I had a great supporting cast around me.
Q: Great comeback story. Speaking of injuries, what changes have you made to your lifestyle to avoid future injuries?
Jarred: I’ve been vegan for the last two and a half years. Really focusing on my diet. Focusing on my rehab. Just really taking care of my body. Locking in. That’s been the difference for me. Moving a lot better, feeling a lot better and having a lot more energy so, it’s been a big role.
Q: From your experience at these training camps, how do you give back to the community and how do you motivate kids like these, especially the ones who dream of going pro?
Jarred: This is what it’s all about. You know- inspiration the next generation, inspiring the youth. Just seeing these guys out here having fun, putting a smile on their face, giving it back. It’s just tough times out here with the pandemic, everything going on, so for them to have a safe place, a safe haven to come in and play basketball, have fun, entertain, it’s just a great environment.
I was floored with Vanderbilt’s response. It really resonated with him giving back to the community and having the time of his life with his training camps. He hopes to inspire the youth and the next generation to play basketball, which is an amazing thing.
Q: Who do you model your playstyle as?
Jarred: I would say It’s a lot of guys that I really am looking out to model as. Players like Lamar Odom, Penny Hardaway, and Draymond Green.
Based on who he models, Vanderbilt is mostly focused on team play, facilitating, and doing the little things on offense and defense to help his team win.
Q: What’s your favorite sports movie?
I mentioned the Adam Sandler movie “Hustle,” which includes several NBA basketball players in the cast. Here was Vanderbilt’s response:
Jarred: I would say right now, Hustle is my favorite sports movie. Couple of my teammates were in it.
Jeremy: Oh yeah, Anthony Edwards was really good in the movie.
I followed up with the last question:
Q: Your new team is the Utah Jazz. How do you go forward and approach that new team?
Jarred: Like I do every other year. Sometimes change is good. A new beginning for me so, I’m gonna go in there locked in with open ears and really try and learn as much as possible. Continue to grow and develop and go out there and try to compete.
Jarred Vanderbilt is only 23 years old. He still has room to grow as an NBA player and being on a new team can definitely become a new beginning. Overall, It’s great to see him giving back to the community like this and inspiring young kids to excel in basketball, especially in his home city. | http://www.backsportspage.com/jarred-vanderbilt-a-man-who-honors-his-home-city/ | 2022-07-29T14:59:36Z | http://www.backsportspage.com/jarred-vanderbilt-a-man-who-honors-his-home-city/ | true | 2 |
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin Treasurer Sarah Godlewski dropped out of the state's Democratic U.S. Senate primary Friday, the third candidate to bow out this week, making Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes the all-but the presumptive nominee to face Republican Sen. Ron Johnson.
Godlewski's decision to leave the race came after Outagamie County Executive Tom Nelson dropped out Monday and Barnes' top rival, Alex Lasry, followed suit Wednesday. Godlewski and Nelson had been trailing Barnes and Lasry by double digits in public polling.
Several lower-tier candidates remain in the Aug. 9 primary, and even those who dropped out will still be on the ballot. In-person absentee voting began this week.
Godlewski, the only woman in the race, had made fighting for abortion rights the center of her campaign. But she said she was ending her candidacy and backing Barnes because it would help the overriding goal of knocking off Johnson, a two-term incumbent and close ally of former President Donald Trump.
“It's clear that if we want to finally send Ron Johnson packing, we must all get behind Mandela Barnes and fight together,” Godlewski said.
She was scheduled to appear with Barnes to announce her decision on Friday morning. | https://www.thehour.com/news/article/3rd-Wisconsin-Dem-US-Senate-candidate-bows-out-17338026.php | 2022-07-29T14:59:41Z | https://www.thehour.com/news/article/3rd-Wisconsin-Dem-US-Senate-candidate-bows-out-17338026.php | true | 10 |
(NEXSTAR) – The operators of a Chick-fil-A restaurant in Hendersonville, North Carolina, have ended a controversial program in which they solicited “volunteers” to work the drive-thru in exchange for chicken sandwiches.
The restaurant had issued the offer last week in a now-deleted post on Facebook.
“We are looking for volunteers for our new Drive Thru Express!” read the post. “Earn 5 free entrees per shift (1 hr) worked. Message us for details.”
Despite deleting the post, the restaurant’s Facebook page was soon inundated with critical comments.
“Glad to see you deleted the highly illegal volunteer post,” wrote one user under one of the restaurant’s unrelated Facebook posts. “Pay workers money not chicken.”
“So, if the chicken sandwich is the standard wage for your volunteers, then what are the potato chips and cookie? Quarterly bonuses, maybe?” another wrote.
A manager at the restaurant reportedly told a reporter for Vice that the idea behind the post was to “establish a relationship with the community.”
“We get people all the time that want to be a part of what we’re doing. This is designed to be an opportunity for that,” the manager said, according to Vice.
When contacted by phone, a different manager at the Hendersonville restaurant gave Nexstar the number for the company’s corporate public relations department. A spokesperson for the company declined to issue a statement.
A representative for Chick-fil-A, however, confirmed to Business Insider that the Hendersonville location was no longer offering the volunteer program, which was not endorsed by the company.
The North Carolina Department of Labor, meanwhile, had received “multiple inquiries” about this program, public information officer Erin Wilson of the NCDOL confirmed to Nexstar. The incident is not currently under investigation by the department, because the NCDOL does not have “any jurisdiction over volunteers, or situations where there isn’t an employer-employee relationship,” according to a statement Wilson provided.
Instead, the statement noted that the U.S. Department of Labor’s Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) “generally” prohibits a for-profit business from “labelling a worker as a ‘volunteer’” in order to sidestep any obligations “to pay the required wages if that individual performs work that benefits the for-profit entity.”
So far, the restaurant’s decision to end its “volunteer” program has done little to appease critics. As of Friday morning, commenters were still leaving messages on the location’s Facebook page. Several one-star reviews had also topped its Yelp listing.
“New low for a fast food chain, couldn’t believe the manager actually defended this tactic,” reads one of the reviews. “Should ask him if he’d be willing to give up his salary in lieu of food.” | https://fox5sandiego.com/news/national-news/chick-fil-a-in-nc-faces-backlash-for-offering-to-pay-volunteer-workers-in-chicken-sandwiches/ | 2022-07-29T15:00:30Z | https://fox5sandiego.com/news/national-news/chick-fil-a-in-nc-faces-backlash-for-offering-to-pay-volunteer-workers-in-chicken-sandwiches/ | false | 13 |
The International Bomber Command Centre in Lincoln has launched a new public service day to mark the squadrons that were so vital to World War Two victory.
The event took place at the Memorial Spire of the International Bomber Command Centre on Canwick Avenue in Lincoln, on Thursday, July 28 – otherwise known as National Bomber Command Day.
With 2021 marking the 85th anniversary of the Bomber Command’s formation, the IBCC recognised the milestone by launching a day which is set to become an integral part of the RAF’s annual cycle.
The decision was made to hold an event in tribute of Bomber Command in light of the dedication of the squadrons during the Second World War, as they risked their lives to protect our nation during intense conflict.
Hazardous campaigns ran from September 1940 right up until war victory in 1945, as losses sustained reached the highest level of any campaign during World War Two.
23 Victoria Crosses and countless Distinguished Service Orders were awarded to those involved, and Adolf Hitler’s minister for armaments described the failure to defeat Bomber Command as Germany’s “greatest lost battle of the whole war.”
Despite this, as the war ended there was political distancing from mass bombing, and the unbroken bomber campaign slid off the page of our war heroes – prompting the IBCC to shine a light on this often forgotten wartime service.
It was an open event for the public to attend, as a service was held with wreath laying, standards from across the county, readings from veterans and the playing of the Last Post.
See below for more pictures from the public service event, captured by The Lincolnite photographer Steve Smailes: | https://thelincolnite.co.uk/2022/07/police-issue-security-advice-after-burglaries-at-lincolnshire-new-builds/ | 2022-07-29T15:01:13Z | https://thelincolnite.co.uk/2022/07/police-issue-security-advice-after-burglaries-at-lincolnshire-new-builds/ | false | 1 |
CINCINNATI, July 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Meridian Bioscience, Inc. (NASDAQ: VIVO), a leading global provider of diagnostic testing solutions and life science raw materials, announced that it received re-authorization of its Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for the Revogene® SARS-COV-2 molecular assay from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Meridian expects to begin shipping this product before the end of its fiscal fourth quarter, ending September 30, 2022.
On November 10, 2021, Meridian announced the Revogene® SARS-CoV-2 assay was granted authorization by the FDA. Subsequent to that, it was determined that the original design of the assay would not detect the Omicron variant and Meridian delayed marketing the assay to modify its design to correct for the detection of the variant. In March, Meridian completed the development work and submitted an initial set of data to the FDA to validate the performance of this revised assay. Over the last few months in consultation with the FDA, Meridian completed additional clinical studies and the FDA has now re-authorized the EUA.
The Revogene® SARS-CoV-2 assay is a molecular diagnostic test for the qualitative detection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus from nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal, anterior nasal, and mid-turbinate nasal swab specimens and provides impressive clinical performance with a positive predictive agreement (PPA) of 97.7% and a negative predicative agreement (NPA) of 97.7%.
The Revogene® SARS-CoV-2 assay can help laboratories and healthcare systems improve their COVID-19 testing capacity and enable healthcare providers to quickly deliver the appropriate care and guide infection control measures for patients. The flexible Revogene® molecular testing platform can easily integrate into any laboratory or health system. Additional FDA-approved tests on the Revogene platform include Revogene® C. difficile, Revogene® Strep A, Revogene® GBS LB, and Revogene® Carba C.
"There continues to be demand for fast, accurate detection of COVID-19 especially considering the high transmissibility of these new variants and the upcoming respiratory season," said Tony Serafini-Lamanna, Executive Vice President - Diagnostics for Meridian Bioscience. "We believe our Revogene® SARS-CoV-2 assay and growing Revogene® platform can help clinicians and health systems meet these demands now and in the future."

Family watching Euro final hope their personalised flag appears on TV again
By Danielle Desouza, PA29/07/2022
A family attending the Women’s Euro final at Wembley hope their personalised England flag makes another TV appearance.
Kerry Laville, 42, a trainee teacher, attended the England v Sweden semi-final match with her two daughters – Taylor, 12 and Lauren, nine – her husband Damian, 45 and son Callum, six, when something unexpected happened.
She was “excited” to see that a white and red England flag with the words ‘Battyeford Belles’, in reference to the club her daughters play for, made a live TV appearance on the BBC.
“The flag was a nod to the team and everyone was so excited to have seen it and sent over screenshots they’d taken of the telly. It was almost like we had taken the team with us,” Mrs Laville, who lives in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, told the PA news agency.
The girls have played for the female football team at Battyeford Sporting Club, which is referred to as “the Belles” and is near Huddersfield for around 18 months.
The flag was bought before the quarter final and it is set to become a seasoned traveller as it could make an appearance on the Lavilles’ family holiday to Dubai in August.
Mrs Laville described the atmosphere of the game as “incredible”.
“It was lovely seeing the excitement in Lauren’s face when England scored a goal. Her eyes were sparkling and they say eyes never lie when you smile,” she said.
Football has played a key role in the household, with Mr and Mrs Laville being avid watchers of football matches before and after their children were born, which could have been the reason why their daughters took to the sport like a “duck to water”.
“Lauren’s actually going to be starting with Leeds United in September, with their emerging talent centre,” she said.
Mrs Laville said that she hopes the Women’s Euros will “encourage more girls to realise that there are local girls team”.
She added: “Unfortunately, not every area has a girls team, which might be because there are not enough girls who want to play, so hopefully this is going to grow it on a grassroots level.”
The family are set to attend the final at Wembley on Sunday with their flag, and potentially less face paint than they wore at the semi-final.
“I’ve told my husband that he can’t have his face painted completely with the England flag like on Tuesday as the paint went everywhere,” she said.
“His shirt is in the washer at the moment actually. I’m hoping that the smears of red paint are going to come out.”
Lauren and Taylor have also planned on painting the England flag on their nails, and the whole family hope to link up with more Battyeford Belles and Instagram contacts to “enjoy” the day. | https://pa.media/blogs/pa-uplifting/family-watching-euro-final-hope-their-personalised-flag-appears-on-tv-again/ | 2022-07-29T15:07:32Z | https://pa.media/blogs/pa-uplifting/family-watching-euro-final-hope-their-personalised-flag-appears-on-tv-again/ | true | 11 |

New York care provider names Medline supplier of all capital equipment and furnishings
NORTHFIELD, Ill., July 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Medline and St. Johnland Nursing Center, a New York-based post-acute care organization, today announced that Medline has been awarded a prime vendor contract for St. Johnland's new assisted living facility, expected to open its doors to residents in fall 2022. The company will be a supplier of all capital equipment and furnishings for the organization's assisted living facility.
The new contract is an extension of Medline's 30-plus year partnership with St. Johnland as the prime vendor for the company's skilled nursing facility. Through the new capital equipment and furnishings contract, more than 10 product divisions at Medline are collaborating to help the company build out the new facility with supplies like furniture, hand sanitizers, window treatments, paper goods and more. St Johnland is leveraging Medline's white-glove delivery service to deliver, assemble and install all equipment and furnishings.

St. Johnland has been a prominent care organization in its community for 150-plus years. The new 100-bed assisted living facility will be on the same campus as its skilled nursing home and focus on serving individuals enrolled in Medicaid, which Weber anticipates will account for roughly 80% of residents.
"We are honored to have the opportunity to continue growing our partnership with St. Johnland as the organization expands its care services. Helping Weber and her team build out their new facility has been a multi-year project made possible due to the expertise across all our Medline divisions.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The mayor of San Francisco announced a legal state of emergency Thursday over the growing number of monkeypox cases, allowing officials to mobilize personnel and resources and cut through red tape to get ahead of a public health crisis reminiscent of the AIDS epidemic that devastated the city.
The declaration, which takes effect Monday, was welcomed by gay advocates who have grown increasingly frustrated by what they called San Francisco’s lackluster response to a virus that so far has affected primarily men who have sex with men, although anyone can get infected.
The city has 261 cases, out of about 800 in California and 4,600 nationwide, according to the San Francisco Department of Public Health. A national shortage of vaccine has resulted in people waiting in line for hours for scarce doses, often to be turned away when the shots run out.
“San Francisco is an epicenter for the country. Thirty percent of all cases in California are in San Francisco,” said San Francisco Public Health Officer Dr. Susan Philip.
San Francisco shut down its primary monkeypox vaccination clinic earlier this week after it ran out of doses, saying it had only received 7,800 doses of a requested 35,000.
“San Francisco was at the forefront of the public health responses to HIV and COVID-19, and we will be at the forefront when it comes to monkeypox,” said state Sen. Scott Wiener, a Democrat who represents San Francisco. “We can’t and won’t leave the LGTBQ community out to dry.”
Mayor London Breed planned a news conference later Thursday. | https://www.wjtv.com/living-local/focused-on-health/san-francisco-declares-emergency-over-monkeypox-spread/ | 2022-07-29T15:14:18Z | https://www.wjtv.com/living-local/focused-on-health/san-francisco-declares-emergency-over-monkeypox-spread/ | false | 33 |
Separated at birth: the Vin Diesel lookalike pops out from afar and drives fans crazy
Don’t you think he is? Strange, yet he also has the same car that he drives in the movies! Tourists in Asia go crazy for Vin Diesel’s secret “Stunt-man” and for his “Dodge Charger” identical to the one seen in the F&F saga.
The older ones among you will surely remember the decades-old fashion of the United States of imitating Elvis Presley, the legendary King whose passing was never really accepted by millions and millions of fans. But without going too far back in time, think Cosplayerspeople who dress up as anime or cartoon characters in their spare time.
Imitating fantastic characters has always been a great passion of the human being for many reasons. And there is nothing wrong with that, on the contrary, there are those who with cosplay and assorted costumes also earn a lot of money … or popularity, like the person we will see today and who comes from a country far far away…and very nice to visit at this time of year.
Do you surely remember the character of Dom Toretto right? The hard and pure protagonist of the saga Fast and Furious which is about to close with the last chapter ever filmed, as the late Paul Walker would have liked. The actor who will play Dom Toretto for the last time is Vin Diesela Hollywood star who needs no introduction.
A career on the rise
You know Toretto’s features, right? His legendary Dodge Charger? Well, in Thailand according to social networks there is the perfect imitator of this character. We are surprised who didn’t want him as a stunt man! Taking advantage of his “resemblance” to Diesel, this character whose identity we ignore, however, has created a page where he talks about cars and tuning called Siunday Modify translating its name from the local language.
In Thailand, using a play on words impossible to translate into Italian, they call it “Win Diesel”: this guy has transformed what could become a “meme” into a job. His great passion for cars did the rest, so our Win also accumulates millions of views on YouTube.
Only note, dear Win: that “Dodge Charger” is actually enough on a Toyota Mark II sold on the Asian market is not very convincing: the paint is fine but the front logo is that of a Mustang! We are sure that Dom would never approve of such a blunder, watch out next time! | https://codelist.biz/2022/07/29/separated-at-birth-the-vin-diesel-lookalike-pops-out-from-afar-and-drives-fans-crazy/ | 2022-07-29T15:18:27Z | https://codelist.biz/2022/07/29/separated-at-birth-the-vin-diesel-lookalike-pops-out-from-afar-and-drives-fans-crazy/ | false | 1 |
SEATTLE — The first person to be diagnosed with monkeypox in Washington state sat down for an exclusive interview with KING 5.
The World Health Organization recently declared monkeypox a global health emergency. The U.S. is currently reporting nearly 5,000 cases of the disease.
Monkeypox is an infection that is spreading mostly through close contact with other people who are infected. The infection can result in a rash that appears like pimples or blisters on the face, inside the mouth or other parts of the body, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
Ryan, who requested his last name be withheld, said he started experiencing "odd" symptoms five days after returning from a trip to the United Kingdom.
"Sort of some stuff on my skin," he said.
Ryan went to his dermatologist and primary care doctor, but he said they were dismissive.
"I felt like, how can I find a doctor who will put more effort into this?" said Ryan.
Ryan found a community clinic that ran several tests which all came back negative, so he began doing his own research and went back to the doctor.
"We agreed that we should talk to the CDC and then we did and it went from there," said Ryan. He was then immediately tested for monkeypox and had a positive result 36 hours later.
"It was super scary, and I think the stress and anxiety that comes with that probably exacerbated the symptoms," said Ryan.
At that point, Ryan was the first confirmed case of monkeypox in Washington state. He said Public Health - Seattle and King County was extremely helpful.
"Since then so much more information has come to light and we know a lot more about the pace that it's spreading and yet it still seems like the reaction hasn't changed much," said Ryan.
Doctor Matthew Golden, director of Seattle and King county's HIV/STD program, said the number of cases of monkeypox is doubling each week and the current vaccine supply can't keep up.
"We think ideally we'd have at least 80,000 doses of the vaccine, what we have at present is only 6% of that," Golden said.
King County received its latest shipment of 3,300 vaccine doses Wednesday and has been vaccinating people at Harborview Medical Center. They plan to continue vaccinating one-third at Harborview, while sending one-third to providers around the county and the last third will be administered through community vaccine events which they hope will be running in 10 days.
Ryan recently asked to get vaccinated and has been told by King County that he's not considered eligible, since he is recently recovered.
"We have tools that can prevent the spread and we're not using them to our fullest extent, that's what's tough for me to see," said Ryan.
His friends have gone to Canada to get vaccinated.
"I've also considered going to Canada or somewhere else to get it," said Ryan. | https://www.krem.com/article/news/health/monkeypox/monkeypox-first-person-diagnosed-washington/281-0b98d132-8089-4ce6-840a-ecbdf1e2de35 | 2022-07-29T15:18:38Z | https://www.krem.com/article/news/health/monkeypox/monkeypox-first-person-diagnosed-washington/281-0b98d132-8089-4ce6-840a-ecbdf1e2de35 | false | 3 |
Priyanka dropped some fun videos and pictures from the concert and shared her experience watching Diljit perform.
By: Mohnish Singh
Loads of fun are expected when two Punjabis meet each other. Actor Priyanka Chopra met singer Diljit Dosanjh in Los Angeles recently as she attended Diljit’s live concert with her husband Nick Jonas and YouTuber Lilly Singh.
Taking to Instagram, Priyanka dropped some fun videos and pictures from the concert and shared her experience watching Diljit perform.
“There are a few things that will warm your heart as much as a taste of home. Also, when your people are in town! You show the F up!! I had a much-needed super fun night out watching @diljitdosanjh doing what he does best! He had the audience wrapped around his finger! None of us sat even for a moment! You’re such a superstar, @diljitdosanjh,” she wrote.
— PRIYANKA DAILY (@PDMedia_) July 28, 2022
She added, “I highly recommend you get tickets to Diljit’s current tour! Also, kudos to the team that made it so comfortable and awesome for my friends and me! Thank you, @lilly, for always having the best ideas for nights out! Lots of Love! PS- watch us trying to outdo respecting each other! I’ll bow lower! Lol! #DesiThings #DesiCrew”.”
At the event, Priyanka and Lilly Singh twinned in black outfits. While Priyanka wore a black dress underneath a black blazer with tinted glasses, Lilly opted for a black look in a tank top.
In one of the clips, the two were seen singing as they made most of their time at the concert.
A few pictures show the three of them trying to outdo respecting each other by bowing lower.
Diljit also shared pictures with Priyanka Chopra and Lilly Singh from his concert and wrote, “LOVE & RESPECT @priyankachopra @Lilly. Saanu Maan An Sadian KUDIAN Te.. Jina Ne Hollywood Vich Ja Ke Dhakk Pai Aa (sic).”
Meanwhile, on the work front, Priyanka will be seen in international projects such as ‘It’s All Coming Back To Me’, and the series ‘Citadel’. Produced by Russo Brothers, ‘Citadel’ will hit the OTT on Prime Video.
The upcoming sci-fi drama series is being directed by Patrick Morgan and stars Richard Madden alongside Priyanka.
In Bollywood, she will be starring with Alia Bhatt and Katrina Kaif in Farhan Akhtar’s ‘Jee Le Zaraa’, which promises to be another tale of friendship following the lineage of ‘Dil Chahta Hai’ and ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’, both of which have become cult classics over the years.’Jee Le Zaraa’ is reportedly going on floors around September 2022 and will be ready for release in the summer of 2023.

Chess-playing robot breaks child’s finger at Moscow event
MOSCOW — (AP) — A chess-playing robot grabbed the finger of its 7-year-old opponent and broke it during last week's Moscow Chess Open tournament, Russian media reported Monday.
“The robot broke the child’s finger,” Sergei Lazarev, President of the Moscow Chess Federation, told the Russian TASS agency. “Of course, this is bad.”
A video shared on social media shows the robot taking one of the boy’s pieces, and then grabbing his finger as he attempts to make a move.
Four adults then rush in, struggling to free the boy before leading him away from the chessboard.
Lazarev said the chess federation had rented the robot that appeared in many previous events without incident.
He said the boy was able to play again the next day and finished the tournament with his finger in a cast.

Wike speaks on happenings in PDP, says truth must be told
Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers has promised to respond fully to all the happenings in his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as it concerns the party’s presidential candidacy and more.
He said this on his arrival from the airport in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
He told pressmen at the airport that “In this part of our world, when lies are being concocted and you allow it, it becomes the truth.
“After the PDP presidential primaries, I decided to remain quiet, go back home and fulfill the remaining promises I made to Rivers people, but there comes a time when the truth has to be told.
“No right thinking person or lover of this party will say that the speech Atiku Abubakar made during the unveiling of his VP candidate was fair. Atiku went ahead to tell so many lies during his interview on Arise TV.
“I was in Spain when Bukola Saraki called me and asked that we resolve all issues and when I told him all that transpired, Saraki confessed that he honestly did not know the depth of the issue and didn’t know it was that serious.”
The Rivers governor, however, added that “We have lined up projects for commissioning from first week of August. After the commissioning, I will reveal all that transpired to Nigerians. What they choose to do with the truth is up to them but I will speak the truth.”
Wike has promised to expose who called “attack dogs” after commissioning his projects in Port Harcourt.

Salt is a common seasoning used to enhance the flavor of food. Salt added to food at the table accounts for only about 15 percent of the salt consumed by most Americans. Processed foods contribute to a significant amount of the overall salt consumed. However, adding extra salt to food at the table may be more problematic for health and longevity than we realized.
A new study published in the European Heart Journal in July found that those who always add salt to food have a 28 percent increased risk of dying compared to those who never or rarely add salt. The researchers also found that those who always add salt have a lower life expectancy compared to those who never or rarely add salt. This means that at the age of 50, 1.5 years and 2.28 years were deducted from the life expectancy of women and men, respectively, who always add salt to their food.
On the bright side, the researchers found that the risks seemed to be slightly reduced in those who consumed the highest amounts of fruit and vegetables. Fruit and vegetables are rich in potassium, which is protective and consuming them is associated with a lower risk of premature death.
While this was a large study, it did have some limitations. More research is needed to determine if adding extra salt to food causes immature death or is merely associated with it, possibly due to factors like socioeconomic status or an unhealthy lifestyle.
In the meantime, there is little to no downside to taking a closer look at one’s food salting habits. Here are six easy strategies to help reduce your consumption of extra salt.
- Add salt-free herbs, spices and aromatics to boost flavor when cooking without the salt. Examples of these ingredients include garlic, onion, fennel, lemon juice, vinegar, rosemary, cilantro, dill, turmeric, black pepper and cumin.
- Opt for fresh meat and seafood instead of cured, salted, smoked and processed meats and fish.
- Choose fresh, frozen and canned vegetables with no-added-salt.
- Compare the sodium content on the food label of packaged foods to choose items lower in sodium. Look for labels indicating “low sodium” and “reduced sodium” content.
- When dining out, ask that no salt be added to your meal.
- Reduce the amount of salt used in recipes and avoid added salt at the table, especially before tasting the food first.
Because this was the first published study on the relationship between adding salt to foods and premature death (defined as death before 75 years of age) from all causes, more studies are needed to confirm and validate the results in other populations.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Appearing bare-shouldered in a TV ad, Connecticut Democrat Dita Bhargava looks directly into the camera and promises, if elected, to “lead the crusade” for abortion rights.
Photos of other women flash on the screen, also with no clothes showing. “This is who have freedom over their own bodies stripped away,” Bhargava says in the commercial, referring to the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent ruling overturning the constitutional right to abortion. “This is who the Supreme Court left completely vulnerable.”
It would make sense to think Bhargava is running for governor, state legislature or Congress — positions that could play a direct role in future abortion laws. She’s not. She’s a candidate for state treasurer.
Bhargava, a contender in Connecticut’s Aug. 9 primary, is among Democratic candidates in down-ballot races, such as treasurer, auditor or secretary of state, who have seized on the abortion issue, even when the office they seek doesn’t have an obvious connection to abortion access.
“Others might say it’s not relevant. It’s absolutely relevant to the treasurer’s office,” Bhargava, chief operating officer of a private investment fund, said in an interview, explaining that the state has the power to affect corporate behavior through its pension investment decisions.
“When I’m state treasurer, the state will not invest in companies that don’t do the right thing by their employees,” she said. “And part of doing that right thing is to support a woman’s right to safe, legal abortion.”
In Wisconsin, treasurer candidate Gillian Battino, a Democrat and physician, has asked donors to help her “fight to codify Roe.” The treasurer in Wisconsin does not set abortion policy or even oversee investments. The job mostly entails signing checks on behalf of the state and chairing a board that handles payments from lands held in trust.
The Supreme Court’s decision to return the abortion question to the states steered attention toward governor’s races, where winners will play an outsize role in the fate of future restrictions. But candidates for lower state offices also seek to capitalize on a ruling unpopular with a majority of Americans to boost campaign contributions and inspire voter turnout.
Sandy Theis, a Democratic consultant in Ohio, said threats to abortion access have a history of mobilizing Democratic voters.
Following the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1989 decision in Webster v. Reproductive Health Services, which gave states greater leeway to restrict abortions, Democratic challengers unseated Republican governors in Virginia and Florida, and exit polls showed Democrat Ann Richards captured 60% of the women’s vote, including 25% of Republican women, to become governor of Texas.
“The Republican Party doesn’t understand the selling power of something like taking away women’s reproductive freedom,” Theis said. “If the Democrats play this right, and message this right, I think it will help them all over the ticket.”
Down-ticket Republican candidates have largely avoided the abortion issue, focusing often on their sought offices’ core functions. The exception is attorney general races, in which some GOP candidates have pledged to defend state laws under the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization ruling, help local prosecutors pursue abortion crimes and defend new restrictions in court.
Democratic attorney general candidates in Arizona, California, Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada and Ohio pitch themselves as the last line of defense for abortion rights.
Taylor Sappington, the Democratic nominee for state auditor in Ohio, said voters sometimes question his focus on the abortion ruling overturning Roe v. Wade, given that the office he seeks would seem to have no bearing on women’s health care.
He said he reminds them that Ohio’s auditor sits on the state’s political mapmaking commission, which draws districts for entities that do have a role.
“The truth is that the voters empowered the redistricting commission, and put the auditor on that commission, to draw maps for the Legislature and for Congress,” he said. “All of the issues that those bodies handle — including abortion, but also education, health care, and civil liberties for LGBTQ folks like myself, like gay marriage — are affected by those maps.”
The current auditor, Republican Keith Faber, has promoted his endorsement by Ohio Right to Life, the Republican-leaning state’s oldest and largest anti-abortion group, but otherwise mostly steered clear of social issues. Instead, he is campaigning against high inflation under President Joe Biden.
Races for offices overseeing state elections also have joined the abortion discussion.
State Rep. Bee Nguyen, the Democratic secretary of state nominee in Georgia, said the Supreme Court ruling was “part of a broader assault on our fundamental rights,” and sought to link that back to elections.
“We must fight back at the ballot box and wield our most powerful tool: our sacred, most fundamental right to vote,” she said in a fundraising solicitation that appears to have worked. She’s currently outraising the Republican incumbent.
Democratic Secretaries of State Jocelyn Benson, of Michigan, and Jena Griswold, of Colorado, are also campaigning on the issue. Griswold, who chairs the Democratic Association of Secretaries of State, told would-be donors that, if reelected, she wouldn’t apply the state seal to the extradition paperwork of any out-of-state patient seeking an abortion or reproductive health care in Colorado.
Abortion is resonating even further down the ballot.
In New Hampshire, the issue has arisen in campaigns for elected members of an obscure but powerful state body that approves state contracts, judicial nominations and agency heads. Majority Republicans on the state’s Executive Council have repeatedly rejected funding for family planning clinics over unfounded concerns that public money is being used for abortions.
The political action fund for Planned Parenthood of Northern New England has gotten involved on the other side, citing the council’s “outsized role when it comes to reproductive health in this state.”

Which Eufy robotic vacuum cleaners are best?
One of the first available products from the Eufy brand was their line of robotic vacuum cleaners, and with every round of innovation and design, they only get better. With a range of available features, sizes, suction strength and battery life, it can be difficult to know not only which is the best Eufy robotic vacuum model in general but also which model is right for you.
The best Eufy robotic vacuum for just about everyone is the Eufy RoboVac 11S Slim Robotic Vacuum Cleaner. This compact model does need its filter to be cleaned more frequently than larger models, but the 100-minute battery life, BoostIQ technology that changes the amount of suction to fit the mess and the ease in which it avoids obstacles more than make up for that small inconvenience.
What to know before you buy a Eufy robotic vacuum cleaner
Suction power
There are three main levels of suction power available in Eufy robotic vacuums: 1,000, 1,300 and 1,500 Pascals.
- 1,000 Pa: This is the lowest level of suction power you can find in a Eufy robotic vacuum. It’s a good amount, but considering stronger suction power can be found at very little extra cost, it’s rarely better to purchase an option with 1,000 Pa of suction.
- 1,300 Pa: Smack in the middle strength-wise, 1,300 Pa is more than enough for almost any household.
- 1,500 Pa: If you’re unsure if you need the extra cleaning power or you know you have a lot of messes you’ll need to clean, then you won’t be sorry if you purchase a 1,500 Pa Eufy robotic vacuum. Otherwise, you can safely stick to the 1,300 Pa options.
Boundary strips
Many Eufy robotic vacuum owners will be just fine allowing their device to roam and clean as it pleases; for those that need to ensure a specific area is cleaned or just want to generally limit the cleaning area, there are some Eufy robotic vacuum models that come with magnetic boundary strips to accomplish just that.
What to look for in a quality eufy robotic vacuum cleaner
Self-charging
Trying to remember to charge your Eufy robotic vacuum or even just constantly bending over and plugging in the device can be a hassle. That’s why some of the newer, smarter models can detect when they are low on power and return themselves to a charging cradle.
Smart and voice control
In addition to self-charging, the same newer and smarter Eufy robotic vacuum models include voice control with Amazon’s Alexa devices and smart control via a smartphone app. It’s much easier than chasing your robotic vacuum down to push its buttons.
Scheduling
One of the options that comes with the more expensive, premium Eufy robotic vacuum models is the ability to schedule a cleaning time and location. It’s perfect for letting your Eufy do all the work while you’re out of the house and keeping it quiet when you’re home.
How much you can expect to spend on a Eufy robotic vacuum cleaner
You’ll have to spend at least $200 for a newer, lower-tier model, with the best of the best reaching up to $300. You could save a little bit of money on an older or used model, but you’ll more than likely give up too many features without saving enough (no more than $50).
Eufy robotic vacuum cleaner FAQ
Will my Eufy robotic vacuum run itself off the edge of my stairs or a similar drop?
A. Thanks to built-in drop sensors in all Eufy robotic vacuum models, this risk is incredibly low but not fully non-existent. Dark-colored flooring can occasionally fool the drop sensors and cause the Eufy to fall, but you can always block off the stairs or other edges to fully prevent any accidents.
What’s the average amount of time it takes to fully charge a eufy robotic vacuum from a dead battery?
A. Each model of Eufy robotic vacuum varies slightly in charging times, with newer models charging faster than older ones. That said, nearly all Eufy robotic vacuums should fully charge from a dead battery in roughly 5 to 6 hours.

I’d like to say it was a hoax that a man faked hurting his leg so he could access disability assistance at an airport, bypassing airport queues. I should be angry that this footage was posted on TikTok in a video that has since gone viral, with more than 2.5 million views.
It should make me irate that the man in the wheelchair laughed with his friend about it and mocked the staff he'd conned, and those who helped him through security and passport control. Viewing this appalling act of selfishness and invincible lack of respect for people living with disability, should make me fume with rage. But alas, I’m, yet again, filled with sadness.
Best case scenario, the video posted by @WolfJenko on the social media site was an act of complete ignorance. But it’s highly likely he doesn’t care one iota about the negative knock-on effects this footage will have on the services and treatment of genuine people living with disability and long-term illness.
Horrific airport experiences
Would he be laughing if, heaven forbid, he was struck down with an illness and became a permanent wheelchair user? I can assure him that jumping to the front of an airport queue is not a ‘perk’ of having a disability.
In my limited experience of air travel, I’ve endured several horrific experiences. From being left on the plane for more than an hour when assistance was unavailable, to resorting to dragging myself down the stairs of the plane and onto the tarmac, because the lift was being used in a different part of the airport.
Currently, people with disabilities cannot take standard wheelchairs into the passenger cabin of a plane – these have to be stored in the hold. Until there is space in cabins for wheelchairs, disabled passengers with mobility issues are forced to rely on crew and staff to board and exit planes.
Last April, I was left on a plane at Manchester Airport. All but one crew member had exited the aircraft. The cleaning staff came aboard, did their job and left. After 40 minutes of being left in my seat, I made the decision to slide on my backside down the aisle to the front of the plane, where my wheelchair was waiting for me. The crew member gave me a bottle of wine as an apology for the poor service I received. I would rather have help than booze, but it wasn’t her fault I was left in this situation.
I couldn’t even be upset at the tardy service from assistance staff, who finally caught up with me at the customs gate – they weren't responsible for me being left behind. It’s never that individuals employees don’t care – these situations are simply down to resources being so stretched. In my experience, there aren’t enough staff employed at airports to manage disabled assistance.
A Which? survey, carried out with the Research Institute for Disabled Consumers in early 2020, found that a quarter of people who had used special assistance at an airport were dissatisfied. Staff shortages, due to the pandemic and recent strikes, have exacerbated the situation. Streams of recent cases of unacceptable service towards disabled passengers at UK airports have been reported, notably by BBC journalist and wheelchair user Frank Gardner. The correspondent felt he was the “lowest priority” at Heathrow airport, after being left on an empty plane in May due to staffing issues.
A solemn invitation to the TikTok user
Amid calls for reviews of the airport services for wheelchair users, those who abuse the system are making it harder for people who really do need the help – and making it more common for companies and organisations to request evidence of disability. It is wrong that one day I may have to carry around a card or letter proving that I’m disabled, just to get some support.
I can only hope that the individual who posted this recent TikTok video removes it from the social media platform as quickly as possible, to prevent a possible wave of copycat instances that could further infringe upon the limited resources for people with disabilities at airports.
I invite @WolfJenko to come and spend a day with me in a wheelchair and experience some of the difficulties I face in my day-to-day life. Perhaps you could make a film for your TikTok channel about the daily obstacles I have to overcome, and use this recent social media attention as a force for good, by helping to increase disability services at airports. | https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/comment/appalling-new-hack-making-airports-far-worse-wheelchair-users/ | 2022-07-29T15:38:44Z | https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/comment/appalling-new-hack-making-airports-far-worse-wheelchair-users/ | false | 1 |
A war between Haitian gangs which has left hundreds dead since it flared up three weeks ago has spread to the centre of the capital, Port-au-Prince.
Gang members engaged in a fierce gun battle with each other and with police on Wednesday.
The city’s temporary cathedral caught fire amid the fighting.
It is not yet known how many people were killed in this latest battle but UN figures suggest more than 200 died between 8 and 17 July.
READ ALSO:
Previously, the focal points of the battle between the G9 criminal alliance and a rival alliance calling itself G-Pèp had centred around the impoverished neighbourhood of Cité Soleil. But on Wednesday, video showed police confronting gang members not far from the presidential palace.
While Port-au-Prince has long suffered from gang violence, the war between G9 and G-Pèp has raised it to new levels.
Local media say members of a gang which forms part of the G9 alliance launched an incursion into the Bel-Air neighbourhood, where they met resistance from members of a gang allied with G-Pèp.
A spokesman for the Port-au-Prince archdiocese, Father Marc Henry Siméon, told Le Nouvelliste newspaper that firefighters had managed to extinguish a blaze at the church which has been used as the city’s cathedral since the Notre-Dame Cathedral was destroyed in the 2010 earthquake.
Fr Siméon said he did not know whether the church had been targeted deliberately or had become “collateral damage” but stressed that “bandits” were operating in the area with total impunity.
Bullet casings were found in classrooms at the university’s science faculty and classes have been suspended until further notice.
Inmates at the National Penitentiary broke out of their cells as gunfights raged nearby but the prison’s director said the situation was under control.
One resident described Port-au-Prince as “lawless”. | https://www.adomonline.com/haiti-crisis-gun-battles-rage-in-haitis-capital/ | 2022-07-29T15:40:37Z | https://www.adomonline.com/haiti-crisis-gun-battles-rage-in-haitis-capital/ | false | 6 |

A SMALL German town has a yearly festival featuring the largest walking robot on Earth, an 11-ton fire-breathing dragon.
Furth im Wald in southeastern Germany hosts the annual Drachenstich, a reenactment of a dragon-slaying fable.
The staging of the Drachenstich dates all the way back to 1590, when a rudimentary dragon on two wheels was built for the event.
Today, a 30-foot tall, 50-foot long robot prowls the street, expelling fire through its nose and mouth.
Stefan Ege, the town's dragon operator, told video journalist Tom Scott that the dragon robot has "60 movable angles with the legs, with the neck".
The dragon's name is Tradinno, a portmanteau of "tradition" and "innovation".
Tradinno was first built in 2010 and entered into the Guinness Book of Records as the world's largest walking robot in 2014.
Loads of sensors affixed to the dragon's body and feet detect pressure to create realistic walking movements and keep the beast balanced.
The dragon has a 140-horsepower engine, but the most exciting piece under the scales could be the 80-liter tank of fake blood that spews from the dragon after being speared by the play's hero.
Tourists and residents can interface with the dragon during guided tours before and after the festival.

The history of walking robots is littered with funny fails and awkward stage demonstrations.
But recent developments have begun to push against the longstanding idea of "clumsy robots".
Morti the robotic dog taught itself to gracefully walk in less than an hour using an artificial intelligence program.
A robotic arm was trained to recognize its position in three-dimensional space and can avoid obstacles and collisions.
Tradinno requires human operation via controller, but the dragon is a display of smooth movements being performed by a larger bot.
The massive dragon-bot does have a large, red emergency stop button attached to it in case it's motion does go haywire. | https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/19363408/worlds-biggest-walking-robot/ | 2022-07-29T15:46:09Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/19363408/worlds-biggest-walking-robot/ | true | 2 |

At the 94th Academy Awards ceremony at the iconic Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles in March, Will Smith smacked Chris Rock on stage after the latter cracked a joke about the actor's wife Jada Pinkett Smith. The joke was in reference to her shaved head because of autoimmune disorder alopecia areata but it apparently didn't go down well with Smith.
Minutes later, the Independence Day actor lifted the Best Actor statuette for his amazing performance in King Richard as Richard Williams, father and coach of American tennis players Venus Williams and Serena Williams. In his emotional acceptance speech, Will apologised to his fellow nominees summing the shocking incident as "love will make you do crazy things".
Now, on Friday, July 29, four months after the slapgate incident, Will Smith has apologised to Chris Rock once again in a video he shared on his social media handles. He accepted that his behaviour was unacceptable and went on to apologise to the comedian's mother and bother as well.
"I've reached out to Chris and the message that came back is that he's not ready to talk, and when he is he will reach out. So I will say to you, Chris, I apologize to you. My behavior was unacceptable, and I'm here whenever you're ready to talk", the actor said in the video.

Will even revealed why he didn't make an apology to Rock in his Oscar acceptance speech as he said, "I was fogged out by that point. It's all fuzzy."
Apologising to Rock's mother and his younger brother Tony Rock, he further added, "I saw an interview that his mother did. That's one of the things about that moment I didn't realize, I wasn't thinking, but how many people got hurt in that moment. So I want to apologize to Chris's mother, I want to apologize to Chris's family, specifically Tony Rock. We had a great relationship. Tony Rock was my man. This is probably irreparable." | https://www.dnaindia.com/hollywood/report-will-smith-apologises-to-chris-rock-for-oscars-slapgate-incident-says-my-behaviour-was-unacceptable-2972543 | 2022-07-29T15:47:48Z | https://www.dnaindia.com/hollywood/report-will-smith-apologises-to-chris-rock-for-oscars-slapgate-incident-says-my-behaviour-was-unacceptable-2972543 | false | 1 |

With the Hyderabad Police’s massive Technology Fusion Centre all set to be inaugurated within a week, the city is all set to get a new landmark which will be visible from several kilometres in and around the plush Banjara Hills locality. It was in 2015 that the city police first announced its decision to construct a modern and state-of-the-art Command and Control Centre. In the months that followed, the plan was decided and required clearances were received. In November 2015, Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao laid the foundation stone for the massive project.
The Technology Fusion Centre all set to be inaugurated
Initially, an amount of Rs 302 crore was sanctioned for the construction and it was announced that the project would be completed in two years. Now, seven years since the announcement of the project which has now ended up amounting to Rs 600 crore, last minute work is being carried out as the structure is being readied for its inauguration on August 4, 2022. The police headquarters, which were initially called Police Towers and later referred to as Police Command and Control Centre, are now being referred to as Technology Fusion Centre.
The four towers will have 20 floors and will provide an area of 6.4 lakh sq. feet. The massive structure will not only house police departments but also representatives from nearly 60 departments including Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC), Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA), Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MA&UD) etc.
Speaking to TNM, Hyderabad City Police Commissioner CV Anand said, “The Technology Fusion Centre will be the headquarters for the entire state and not just Hyderabad. The building will have a War Room, a viewing gallery, a functional helipad and the latest technology to support the efforts of all the departments. The building will house multiple departments and will be a multi-agency, multi-department, disaster management centre."
Top police officials at the Technology Fusion Centre
Police sources who have visited the structure told TNM that the city’s landscape can be seen from the top of the tower. The Technology Fusion Centre will have a data centre that will have access to nearly 50,000 police cameras around the state. Besides this, any IP-based CCTV camera can be accessed from the data centre, which will amount to more than 6.5 lakh cameras across the state.

Commissioner CV Anand said that the property will also act as a coordination centre: “In the case of any floods or disaster, all the concerned department officials from the ground will be able to interact with the department heads and concerned ministers and bureaucrats from the War Room of the tower.”
According to police officials, the best available technology has been roped in at the new facility. The Technology Fusion Centre will be even more superior to the State Police Public Safety Integrated Operations Centre at the Cyberabad Police Commissionerate.

The aim is to leverage technology to enable better coordination between departments and to make carrying out works easier and more efficient. Data analytics, artificial intelligence and social media units will also find space in the centre along with other technology-driven initiatives introduced by the Police Department.
The Shapoorji Pallonji Group carried out the construction work of the centre in coordination with the Roads and Buildings Department. L&T Company has been assigned the task to handle the IT-related jobs at the centre. The building has come up on a seven-acre land owned by the Police Department in Banjara Hills.

If you’re spending the rest of your free time this summer surfing the internet daydreaming about when it’s seasonally appropriate to put up your Halloween decorations, I’m right there with you.
If I’m being totally honest, I start daydreaming about Halloween decorations pretty much as soon as summer begins, counting down the days until the cool weather sets in — and doing a little early shopping before the decorations I must have are sold out.
If you’re looking for some new Halloween decorations this year, you’ve come to the right place. I’ve spent (a probably unhealthy amount of) time looking through pretty much every decoration online so far to find the most interesting ones that also have the best reviews so you know you’re ordering treats, not tricks.
Of course, most retailers are either just now beginning to put their Halloween decorations online, or will still be adding more later. But for now, let’s take a look at some of the most interesting and unique Halloween decorations you can already shop for:
The Lakeside Collection Candy Corn Tree
Whether you’re a candy corn fan or not, there’s no denying how adorable this light-up Candy Corn Tree would look sitting on your coffee table, by your entryway or even in your kitchen. Priced at $27, it’s similar to the ceramic Christmas trees you may remember from the ’60s and ’70s, but with a white top, orange middle and yellow base to look just like a piece of candy corn.
The tree is battery-operated, so you do not need to worry about placing it near an outlet. While it is of course great as Halloween decor, candy corn’s colors really represent fall in general, so you could have it out all season long.
If Amazon sells out, Target also has candy corn trees. Or, grab a similar product like this 12-inch one from Kohl’s, which is also at Bed, Bath & Beyond at a higher price point.
Nobie Vivid Haunted Doorbell
This Nobie vivid Haunted Doorbell on Amazon may look like just a silly prop, but it functions like an actual doorbell. Plus, it makes scary sounds and has an eyeball that opens and turns around to scope out the area and see who is at your door.
The eye lights up green, so it looks to be pretty bright even at night. Priced at $30, you simply install the doorbell to your door or house by using the mounting hole on the back and adding three batteries — no wiring required. Of course, you can use it just on Halloween night to give some extra scares to trick-or-treaters, or you can use it as your doorbell for the entire Halloween season.
With more than 1,100 reviews, the doorbell has a total rating of 4.7 out of 5 stars. Customers say it works perfectly and is a great addition to your Halloween decor. Plus, kids love it and it is a lot of fun.
One customer who gave the doorbell 5 stars says if you love Halloween, then “this doorbell is for you.”
“I hung it right above my regular doorbell so people would be sure to see it. I get such a kick out of it that I go outside just to ring it,” Izzy’s Mom wrote. “I could not wait until October, I had to hang it the minute I opened it. Runs on 3 AAA batteries so have them on hand when you get this in the mail. 6 stars and 3 thumbs up.”
Another reviewer called the doorbell “loud and creepy,” which, for a haunted doorbell, seems like quite the compliment.
“This doorbell is really creepy!! It will certainly scare our family this year. The eye is closed at all times, until you press the button. The eye lights up with a green/phosphorescent glow. The sound is pretty loud,” Must Love Dogs wrote. “We’re also hanging a witch peeper in the window beside the main door and lots of LED lights to make the entrance really spooky.”
JOYIN 72-Inch Tall Hanging Animated Talking Witch
Wanting to creep your trick-or-treaters out with more than just a doorbell? How about a 6-foot-tall Animated Talking Witch?
Priced at just $37, the witch has light-up eyes and a super creepy witch cackle when she senses movement — like someone walking by, talking, or kids yelling “trick-or-treat.” For indoor or outdoor use, she can sit in a chair or hang from the ceiling or a tree.
With close to 700 reviews so far, she has a total rating of 4.3 out of 5 stars, with customers saying she works well, is great for the price and adds a spooky ambiance to their indoor and outdoor decor.
One customer who gave the witch five stars says she is much cooler than they were expecting.
“Her mouth moves when she talks —which I didn’t realize — and her eyes light up. I hung her on our bedroom door while I was checking her out and she definitely made a couple people jump. Can’t wait to put her outside,” Pretty Witchin’ wrote. “Very please[d] with purchase, ’cause was worried about her looking extra cheap or not working. Would recommend if you’re a lover of all things Halloween and want to add something fun outside for little kids to enjoy … or scare. Two thumbs up!”
Coogam 60-piece Halloween 3D Bats Decoration
Looking to make decorating easy, fast and still pretty spooky? This 3D bats decoration set comes with a whopping 60 bats for just $9, which makes each bat 15 cents!
The PVC bats come in four different sizes, so you can put different ones together or save larger ones in more prominent areas of the home while sticking the smaller ones in tiny spaces. Because they’re 3D, they do not lay flat on a wall; their wings stick up so they look like they’re flying.
I actually have these, so I can vouch for how great they are, but the bats also have more than 4,400 reviews on Amazon and 4.6 out of 5 stars. Reviewers say they are good quality, super cute and easy to use. One word of warning, however: they can be quite sticky. If you have any paint in your home that peels easily, you may want to consider putting them somewhere else or simply swapping the adhesive they come with for painter’s tape.

One of the easiest ways to decorate the inside of your home for Halloween is by sticking some skeletons around your house like this 5-Pack Posable Halloween Skeletons priced at $19, which makes them just $3.16 each.

You can join in on the fun (and stay warm in the chilly October weather!) with this priced at $27. The officially licensed product measures 60 by 50 inches, so it should definitely keep you comfortable while you watch the sequel or other Halloween movies. It can also serve as decor if you toss it over a chair or your couch when not in use!
With more than 400 reviews, the blanket has a near-perfect rating of 4.8 out of 5 stars. Customers say it is cozy and colorful and the perfect size. It also holds up to washing.
CHICHIC Bloody Hands Shower Curtain
If you prefer Halloween with less cute and more creep, this Bloody Hands Shower Curtain is an easy and unique way to spook your party guests! Priced at $20, the shower curtain features the shadow of a figure and bloody hand prints, with the word “Help” written out in “blood.” While it does function as an actual shower curtain, it also makes a simple decoration to freak out anyone that uses the bathroom or simply walks by.
With more than 1,000 reviews, customers give it 4.7 out of 5 stars. They say it looks just like the picture on Amazon, is spooky, startles guests and is an easy way to decorate.
One customer who gave the shower curtain 5 stars says it is a must-have for Halloween.
“So simple but it really changes the atmosphere of a bathroom,” jason duvall wrote. “Worth the money and comes with shower rod hooks.”
OCATO 200-Inch Spider Web + 59-Inch Giant Spider
If you’re already not a fan of spiders, you’ll likely find this nearly 5-foot giant spider with web especially creepy. Priced at just $20, the spider comes with a 16-foot triangular web. The spider has red eyes and a hairy body and attaches to the web, or you can use it without the web. Simply have it sit on the porch or lawn or even attach it to a wall.
With close to 3,000 reviews, the spider and web have a total rating of 4.4 out of 5 stars. Customers say it’s of good quality. It even holds up in high winds. One customer who gave it a full 5 stars says the web was easy to set up and is thick enough to be seen from the street.
“We attached it to our front porch and then spread it out over the planter. The web looks great when stretched tight, and there were some loose areas, but those were easily fixed by pulling and retying those ends,” they wrote. “We added spiders by purchasing a pack of similar ones in varying sizes and the web holds them all without any issue. The kids love it!”
Spirit Halloween 4.5-Feet Sitting Scarecrow Animatronic
While Spirit Halloween has tons of costumes and decorations, including multiple large animatronics, this 4.5-Feet Sitting Scarecrow Animatronic is one of the highest-rated decorations on their site.
The scarecrow may look like he’s sleeping, but set a bowl of candy in his lap and when trick-or-treaters go to grab some, he comes to life by popping up his head and making scary sounds. The scarecrow comes with the bowl (candy not included) and weighs just 6 pounds, so you can easily move him to wherever you’d like.
With more than 220 reviews so far, 98% of customers say they would recommend this to a friend. Customers also say it’s easy to put together and seems like a real person until it moves. They enjoy watching trick-or-treaters get spooked when they reach for candy.
DUAIA 12 Pieces Laminated Halloween Gothic Decor Posters
Want to really up the creep factor inside your home? This 12-piece set of laminated Halloween portraits has more than 440 5-star reviews and is priced at just $11, or less than $1 per print.
While the prints are not actually framed, they do have a frame design printed directly on them, so they appear to be framed from a distance. Made of cardboard, the prints come in various sizes and are laminated, waterproof, tear-resistant and reusable. Portraits include creepy family photos, skeletons, ghosts and spooky houses.
Customers say they’re fun and really look like framed photos. One customer who gave them a full five stars says they are “in love” with the prints. They’re light enough that you can use rolled-up painter’s tape to stick them to the wall, ensuring you don’t damage your paint.
“Since the outer part of the picture looks like a frame, any dimension the tape gives it only makes it work even better to look like a framed picture,” Zantippy Skiphop wrote. “I have mine in sections: 1. ghostly, which hang next to a painting of a ghost ship inherited from my mother-in-law. 2. Scary, which includes the vampires and zombies. And 3. The family section, which has the children and family portraits. They’ve been on the wall for about a month now and feel like my friends.”
If you’re still craving more, Home Depot’s giant 12-foot skeleton is back this year and Lowe’s is selling a 12-foot animated mummy, while Target has a 5-foot pumpkin skeleton for just $40. Other stores like HomeGoods, Kohl’s, Joann’s, Target, Party City and Bath & Body Works are also beginning to release their Halloween collections.
As a bonus, if you simply can’t get enough Halloween, Spirit Halloween is looking to hire more than 35,000 employees for the spooky season, so you can make money and be surrounded by all the fun!

How Republicans can build on Trumpism and become the party of progressive conservatism
The conundrum facing the Republican Party is how to nudge former President Trump off the stage while keeping his voters. If the party snaps back to the libertarian pre-Trump party, that won’t happen. What is wanted instead is a party that is progressive on economic issues and conservative on social ones. That’s the sweet spot in American politics, and if progressive conservatism sounds like an oxymoron that’s because of an imperfect understanding of progressivism, conservatism, the GOP and America.
The party’s leading statesmen were progressive conservatives: Abraham Lincoln for his invention of the American Dream, Theodore Roosevelt for his willingness to tackle corruption and Dwight Eisenhower for making peace with the New Deal. They knew, with Edmund Burke, that “a state without the means of some change is without the means of its conservation.”
Lincoln invented the American Dream, the idea that, whoever you are, wherever you come from, you can flourish and know that your children will have it better than you did. He ended slavery, of course, but on July 4, 1861, he told Congress that the fight to preserve the Union was about a more encompassing principle. The central idea of America was the promise of income mobility and the possibility for everyone, Black or white, to rise to a higher station in life.
From Lincoln on, America’s progressive conservatives supported policies that would permit free men to rise and knew that the American Dream didn’t happen by itself, that it required progressive reforms — things like good schools, sensible immigration policies and the rule of law.
But are we still the country of the American Dream? When polled in 2014, a majority of Americans said it had become more difficult to achieve the American Dream, and the evidence bears them out. Among highly developed countries, the U.S. ranks near the back of the pack in terms of intergenerational mobility.
Since the reasons for our decline can be laid at the door of Democratic education, immigration and regulatory policies, that should have been a leading issue for Republican candidates. But in 2016 only one of them spoke to it, and we elected him president.
There is a cyclical pattern in Republican policies. After a progressive moment, the party reverts to rightwing dogmas. So, it was after Lincoln’s assassination until the rise of Theodore Roosevelt at the cusp of the American Century. Roosevelt began his political career as an anti-corruption urban reformer who opposed a Democratic patronage machine. Back then, corruption was a Republican issue, and so it should be today. It’s foolish to let House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) pass herself off as a champion of clean government when there’s real work to be done by Republicans on closing the revolving door between Congress and K street and reforming political contributions by lobbyists.
Theodore Roosevelt called himself a progressive and said he was not afraid of being called a radical when it came to defending popular rule and a conservative when it came to reforming government in a cautious manner. Right-wingers tend to be Manicheans who think it all went to hell with Roosevelt’s embrace of a regulatory state. But then a lot of things needed regulating back then. Blaming TR for today’s overregulation is like blaming the Chicago Fire on the guy who first rubbed two sticks together.
TR’s progressive conservatism was distinctly Western in the sense of the first great progressive historian, Frederick Jackson Turner (1861–1932). What made Turner both a conservative and a progressive was his celebration of democracy and freedom, which he said were the gifts of the frontier. Our history was forged in the way in which America had constantly reinvented itself in its restless movement westward, even as Roosevelt became Mark Hanna’s “damn cowboy” when Roosevelt bought a ranch in the North Dakota badlands. The West was mobile and democratic, while the East was immobile and aristocratic, and that is how campaign finance reform, initiative and referendum laws and term limits emerged as progressive conservative policies.
After TR, the Republican Party turned right again, until Eisenhower in 1952. Ike called himself a “modern Republican,” but the progressive label is more apt. He wrote that the GOP would be sunk if it weren’t progressive and resisted calls to eliminate New Deal programs.
What followed Ike was another turn to the right, until Trump arrived. But now the GOP must ease him out. He lost in 2020 and would lose if he ran again. Flawed as they are, the Jan. 6 hearings might help by persuading his supporters that it’s time to move on. If so, the hearings, like a boomerang, might come back to hurt the Democrats. What would also help is a Republican Party that adopts Trump’s policies, which just might persuade Trump not to run again.

Bronx woman fatally stabbed early Saturday
A Bronx woman's life ended with screams and stab wounds in a neighbor's apartment early Saturday morning, police and sources said.
A 32-year-old woman was in custody and undergoing psychiatric evaluation Saturday after police found her upstairs neighbor, Magdelena Cordero, 33, stabbed multiple times in the suspect's apartment, police said. The two lived in the same building on Kingsbridge Terrace in the Kingsbridge section of the Bronx.
Cordero and the suspect had been visiting the victim's fourth-floor apartment with a man and another woman Friday night, a source said. The two left, possibly to buy something to smoke, and returned to the suspect's second-floor apartment, the source said. A neighbor across the hall heard screams and called 911, the source said.
Cops responding to the 911 call discovered Cordero at the suspect's apartment at about 2 a.m. Emergency personnel transported her to North Central Bronx Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
The suspect, whom police have not identified, has not been charged.
A woman answering the phone listed to the victim's address hung up after being called by a reporter. | https://www.newsday.com/news/new-york/bronx-woman-fatally-stabbed-early-saturday-v93553 | 2022-07-29T15:54:40Z | https://www.newsday.com/news/new-york/bronx-woman-fatally-stabbed-early-saturday-v93553 | false | 1 |

Pakistan summons India’s Charge d’Affaires over deteriorating health of Kashmiri separatist leader Yasin Malik
- Country:
- Pakistan
Pakistan on Friday summoned India’s Charge d’Affaires here to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and handed over a demarche conveying Islamabad’s concern over the deteriorating health condition of Kashmiri separatist leader Yasin Malik.
Malik, who is lodged in Delhi's Tihar jail, began an indefinite hunger strike on July 22 after the Indian government did not respond to his plea that he be allowed to physically appear in a Jammu court hearing the Rubaiya Sayeed abduction case, in which he is an accused.
The Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) chief was admitted to the capital's Dr Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital earlier on Wednesday following a fluctuation in his blood pressure.
The Indian diplomat was told about Pakistan’s deep dismay over the Indian authorities’ latest move of implicating Malik in ''two more bogus cases crafted around incidents that happened at least three decades ago,'' the Foreign Office said in a statement.
“A letter addressed to the Indian Prime Minister from Ms Mushaal Hussein Mullick, wife of Yasin Malik, seeking her husband’s immediate release from prison in view of his precarious health condition that aggravated after his decision to go on a hunger-strike earlier this month, was also handed over to the Cd’A,” it said.
A Delhi court in May handed out a life sentence to sentenced Malik, one of the foremost separatist leaders of Jammu and Kashmir, saying the crimes were intended to strike at the ''heart of the idea of India'' and intended to forcefully secede Jammu and Kashmir from the Union of India.
Given the urgency of the situation and keeping in view Malik’s sharply deteriorating health indicators, the government of India has been strongly urged to provide him urgent medical care, immediately release him from prison, cancel his ''fallacious'' conviction and withdraw all other cases against him, the Foreign Office statement said.

Biden Reportedly Receives Dire Warning Direct From Chinese President: 'If You Play With Fire You Get Burned'
As tensions increase over a possible trip to Taiwan by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Chinese President Xi Jinping delivered a warning to President Joe Biden on Thursday.
“Public opinion shall not be violated, and if you play with fire you get burned. I hope the US side can see this clearly,” CNN quoted Xi as saying. The comment came during a call planned long before the possible Pelosi trip mushroomed into an international flashpoint.
The White House readout on the call was in much calmer language than the official Chinese state news agency cited by CNN.
“On Taiwan, President Biden underscored that the United States policy has not changed and that the United States strongly opposes unilateral efforts to change the status quo or undermine peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait,” a U.S. readout said.
Last week, media accounts said Pelosi would stop in Taiwan next week as part of congressional delegation making a swing through several Asian nations. The trip raised the hackles of Chinese officials, who insisted it should be canceled.
Biden, shifting the blame, said the U.S. military thought the trip was “not a good idea.” Pelosi has said she will not discuss her travel plans.
Taiwan has been the refuge of China’s Nationalist government since it lost the Chinese civil war in 1949. The U.S. does not extend official diplomatic recognition to Taiwan’s government, but has supported the island nation’s freedom by providing extensive military aid.
China claims Taiwan is rightfully a part of China and has become more bellicose on the issue in recent years. China’s state-run Global Times, for example, has been filled with antagonistic rhetoric about Pelosi and Taiwan.
On Tuesday, it cited Hu Xijin, a commentator for the Communist Party organ, as saying he expected to see People’s Liberation Army aircraft “flying together with Pelosi’s plane into the airspace of Taiwan island. That would set a great precedent for the PLA to patrol above the island, which would be far more meaningful than Pelosi’s visit.”
“Sooner or later, the PLA’s aircrafts will enter the airspace above Taiwan in a legitimate and righteous move to manifest China’s sovereignty over the island. To do this, we need an opportunity which could prompt the international community to better understand the mainland’s move is natural rather than a provocation. Pelosi’s potential visit to the island will lead to major changes on the situation in the Taiwan Straits, and PLA’s strong reaction is in line with the expectation of the international community and the visit will offer PLA a good reason to send aircraft over the island,” the paper wrote, citing Hu.
The paper also claimed that Pelosi did not care if Biden was miffed.
“Pelosi doesn’t care that she might make a big mess of US-China relations, because the executive branch and the military will be the ones forced to take the consequences and deal with the aftermath,” it quoted Xin Qiang, deputy director of the Center for American Studies at Fudan University, as saying.
“The US should not underestimate the crisis and possible disastrous results it will bring to the Taiwan Straits if Pelosi ultimately makes the trip, experts said. On edge of the cliff for bilateral relations, if the US does not pull back but keeps challenging the guardrail, the price will be beyond US capabilities to pay,” the Global Times wrote Thursday.
“Should Pelosi visit Taiwan island, possible scenarios include PLA fighter jets intercepting Pelosi’s plane and escorting it to the mainland, the PLA declaring air and maritime zones around Taiwan island as restricted zones for military exercises, or conducting large-scale military drills around the island of Taiwan, including in the waters between Taiwan island and Japan as well as between Taiwan island and Guam, according to military experts,” the newspaper said.
Whether or not Pelosi ultimately makes the trip, a naval strike group centered on the USS Ronald Reagan are in the South China Sea.
“I can confirm USS Ronald Reagan and her strike group are now under way, operating in the South China Sea following a successful port visit to Singapore,” Lt. Mark Langford told Fox News.
“As a matter of policy, we do not discuss future ship movements; however, I will add that Reagan is continuing normal, scheduled operations as part of her routine patrol in support of a free and open Indo-Pacific,” he added.

Cardano (ADA) Is Up 9% Despite Another Announced Delay in Its Network Upgrade
by Tor Constantino | Published on July 29, 2022
The "Vasil Hard Fork" scheduled to launch in late June has been postponed after developers publicly stated no further delays were expected two weeks ago.
Key points
- Cardano's software development group, called the Input Output Global (IOG) team, posted a YouTube update yesterday announcing its latest programming postponement.
- The Vasil boost was originally rolled out on the software testing platform for Cardano in early June, and it's expected to improve the blockchain's speed and scalability.
- Earlier this month, the developer team had publicly stated that the enhancement was on track to go live on the blockchain at the end of July with no further delays expected.
- Despite the announced delay, Cardano's ADA coin was up more than 9% over the past 24 hours, trading as high as $0.544 per coin according to CoinMarketCap.com.
Cardano's Input Output Global (IOG) team, which is the group developing and managing that blockchain, announced during its latest video progress report on Thursday, that the current "Vasil Hard Fork" upgrade will be delayed once again.
"We're doing the final testing and benchmarking on that right now. We're slating the release for testnet only. It fixes some issues that stake pool operators, dApp [decentralized application] developers, internal testers, and other people have identified. The goal is that it will flush out any final issues as we go to the Vasil Hard Fork. We're focusing on testing thoroughly, getting it right and not rushing," said IOG technical manager, Kevin Hammond.
The IOG team did not set a new date for the much-anticipated live rollout other than to say it would be at least "a few more weeks." Yet, in spite of this setback, Cardano's ADA coin was trading up more than 9% on cryptocurrency exchanges to a top price of $0.544 over the past 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap.
This delay follows recent assurances of no further delays
As recently as two weeks ago, Cardano investors expressed concerns via various social media outlets regarding further upgrade delays that the IOG widely dismissed in multiple media reports at the time. Yesterday's IOG broadcast update is an untimely backpedal and credibility distraction that the developer team doesn't need in its glacially-paced deployment.
As context, the Vasil enhancement has been positioned by the IOG as the most significant development to the Cardano blockchain to date. This coding improvement is believed to boost virtually every aspect of the network including its scalability, efficiency, and efficacy.
Cardano's proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus method confirms blockchain transactions in a manner that's widely believed to require fewer energy resources, theoretically making it a better choice for climate preservation when compared to the alternate proof-of-work (PoW) model. Some of the most popular crypto blockchains still use PoW consensus, including Ethereum, Bitcoin, and Dogecoin. Regardless, the drawn out network testing may soon test the patience of ADA holders if the upgrade fails to roll out soon.

Massiah Browne, a 7-year-old boy, is being hailed as a hero for potentially saving the life of a toddler in a California swimming pool.
Massiah recounted to ABC’s “Good Morning America” the actions he took to save a 3-year-old toddler from drowning.
"I was just playing in the pool and then I saw a boy at the bottom of the pool," he told “GMA.” "And I went to go get him."
The toddler was 6 feet deep with his eyes and mouth open, Massiah said. That’s when the 7-year-old dove into the water, grabbed the boy’s arm and pulled him to the surface.
A Sacramento Fire spokesperson told ABC News that bystanders performed CPR on the boy before paramedics arrived. The boy was in critical condition at a hospital.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that parents not leave toddlers unsupervised near water. The AAP said that drowning is the No. 1 cause of injury death among children ages 1-4. | https://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/national/7-year-old-credited-with-saving-toddler-from-drowning | 2022-07-29T16:13:12Z | https://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/national/7-year-old-credited-with-saving-toddler-from-drowning | true | 11 |

How bad does someone have to be at their job as White House Press Secretary to make Jen Psaki look pretty good? They would have to be Karine Jean-Pierre bad, which (hopefully) is as bad as it gets.
The inexperienced and often unprepared press secretary has taken an embarrassing Biden-Harris regime and fit in perfectly as the media’s incompetent liaison. She even has a catch-phrase that she repeats over and over… AND OVER AGAIN.
Proof Biden's new Press Secretary is even WORSE than Psaki 🥴
— Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) July 27, 2022
There may only be one other person in the White House who has even less of a grasp on what’s happening in America. Unfortunately, that person sometimes sits in the Oval Office when he’s busy not taking questions from the press. In that regard, Jean-Pierre fits perfectly with this regime.
It’s not just that they are stupid. They are banking on us being stupid. They’re going so far as to redefine what a “recession” is and getting Big Tech to help them rewrite history Watch:
With food shortages hitting, patriots prepare themselves and their families with long-term storage food. We recommend THREE options.
This is what happens when woke morons hire you for something other than your qualifications. Talk about “in it way over your head!” #KarineJeanPierre makes lying Jen Psaki look believable! #recession pic.twitter.com/7goyyIOXeO

This is not a serious White House. This is a clown show, and with the worst president in history being led on a leash by his handlers, it’s fitting that we now have the worst White House Press Secretary to represent him.
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We just launched a GiveSendGo page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!

What choices do you make if, like me, you happen to reside in the middle of the political spectrum at a time when the two political parties in this country are dominated by extremists? Up until a few days ago, not much. But the recent emergence of a nascent, centrist third-party offers some hope. Perhaps there is light at the end of the tunnel.
It's about damned time.
What do you do when you enter a voting booth, as we did in November 2020, and your choices for president are Joe Biden and Donald Trump? If that wasn't the very definition of an awful choice, I don't know what else qualifies. In one corner you had an indolent, shameless, indecent, megalomaniacal shyster with no clue as to how to govern the world's most prosperous free nation. In the other corner you had a fading, lifelong politician who's been a windsock more than a leader his entire career and who comes with significant baggage from decades of cozying up to big money and despots to take care of himself and his family.
That's not a choice as much as it is a game of Russian roulette.
I knew that I was going to regret my choice no matter how I voted in 2020 and that's panned out. I thought that I made the least awful choice, but who knows? There's a larger problem here that we really need to address if we want to continue to exist as the world's preeminent democracy.
In this century, we've tended to vacillate between extremes in most national elections. This is because both parties have served up highly unpalatable, to many beyond the faithful anyway, candidates. The day's not coming when I'm going to suddenly realize that either Sarah Palin or Kamala Harris made their tickets better. Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden are simply not the best that we can do.
Our election swings occur because we are saddled with poor choices who inevitably produce poor results. We narrowly elect one set of nimrods, watch as they screw things up by acting as if they have a mandate to foist their version of utopia on everyone else, then get rid of them as they grow tiresome for the next set of nimrods who do the same thing in the opposite direction. We don't have elections anymore as much as we have political and social repudiations.
This fall I expect the Democrats to get shellacked in the Congressional midterms. They have it coming, too. But do I think that the Republicans will do a better job if they control Congress? No, I do not.
And why should I? On the left, I see a party enamored of identity politics, pronouns, safe spaces, the shredding of free speech, energy idiocy, bad economics and a view of the world beyond our borders that doesn't make much sense to anyone else over the age of 12. On the right, I see a party so desperate to subjugate everyone to fundamentalist Christian principles that they'll support a completely indecent candidate who personifies pretty much the opposite of what they claim to value in order to deliver us all to the promised land.
No thanks, both ways. But just like you, I'm forced to choose between these two ideologies in each national election.
I've been predicting to friends that if Trump and Biden emerge as the two presidential candidates in 2024, they wouldn't be alone — that a viable third-party candidate would emerge. As it happens, we may not have to wait two full years to see if this pans out.
This past week, a new American political party, Forward, was launched. Forward, which describes itself as centrist, is co-chaired by former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang and former Republican governor of New Jersey Christine Todd Whitman. If Forward plays its cards right and is truly centrist, they just might flourish.
I think that there is plenty of room in Forward for the likes of Evan McMullin, an Independent candidate from Utah who ran in the 2016 presidential election and who's now pushing Mike Lee for his seat in the US Senate. I think that there's room for Idaho AG Lawrence Wasden, who in almost every alternative universe was very deservedly just renominated for his fifth term.
I think that there's room for Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, both very conservative Republicans who are on the outs with the nut cases on the right because they've insisted on holding Donald Trump accountable for his actions on Jan. 6.
I think that there's room for Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, who are considered conservative obstructionists only because of the manner in which the Democratic party has become beholden to its nut cases on the far left.
I think that there is room for my fellow columnist Jim Jones who's rightly called out the Idaho Republican Party for blatant idiocy. And I know that there's room for me because I joined the first day — and I suspect that I'm just in the first vanguard.
We can continue to hold elections that amount to little more than substitution of one set of bad ideas for another or we can try a third option and move forward. I'm going to try what's behind door number three.

Rosa Linn's Snap: Armenia's viral TikTok Eurovision entry charts
This year's Armenian Eurovision entry has charted in the UK at 26 - more than two months after the song contest.
Rosa Linn's Snap has been used on more than 360,000 TikTok clips, with some having millions of likes.
It's not those numbers that count towards the chart, though - but users are going on to streaming platforms - which do contribute to the figures.
"Everything is going crazy and it's a dream come true," the 22-year-old told BBC News.
It's the second-highest charting song from this year's competition, behind the United Kingdom's Sam Ryder, who got to number two back in May.
"You never know what will go viral on TikTok," Rosa Linn said. "I saw a video of a guy who proposed to his girlfriend and it was amazing.
"It's one of the most important things in their lives with my song and it touches my heart very, very strongly."
Different versions of the song have increased its global popularity.
"Once we hit the one million streams a day I was like 'Oh My God'," Linn added. "I'm checking my numbers on Spotify every day and I see them grow and I just can't believe it.
"I'm from Vanadzor, in Armenia, which you probably don't know where it is in the world, and I'm so, so happy.As a child I'd dream about this."
The song is charting in Latin America and the US, as well as in countries in Africa.
"There was a chance it would chart in Europe but to cross over there is great," Linn says.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAJ6vfmD_ic
At the grand final in Turin, in May, Snap finished in 20th position out of 25 - receiving no points from the UK in either the public or jury votes.
"That was my first time on a big stage but it felt so right. It felt like home," Linn explained.
The United Kingdom will host Eurovision - the world's largest live music event - in 2023, as organisers ruled that Ukraine could not - despite Kalush Orchestra's win - because of the war with Russia.
Rosa Linn said she would "love to" represent Armenia next year.
"I really loved everything at Eurovision. I loved it before as a fan, but when you experience it, it's magical." | https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/rosa-linns-snap-armenias-viral-160543541.html?src=rss | 2022-07-29T16:17:58Z | https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/rosa-linns-snap-armenias-viral-160543541.html?src=rss | false | 1 |

A roundup of some of the most popular but completely untrue stories and visuals of the week. None of these are legit, even though they were shared widely on social media. The Associated Press checked them out. Here are the facts:
___
Post spreads baseless claim about Jan. 6 conversations
CLAIM: Freedom of Information Act requests show a dozen phone calls between Ray Epps’ cell phone and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office a week before the Capitol insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021.
THE FACTS: Such records would not be obtainable through FOIA requests, because Congress is exempt from the law, legal experts say. Epps, an Arizona man who was filmed encouraging others to enter the U.S. Capitol the night before the riots, has long been the subject of a baseless conspiracy theory that he is a federal agent who helped orchestrate the insurrection. There’s no evidence to suggest that Epps was anything but a disgruntled supporter of former President Donald Trump, and Epps has testified to the House committee investigating Jan. 6 that he wasn’t working for law enforcement. But a new false claim based on the conspiracy still circulated widely on Twitter. “Freedom of Information Act requests show a dozen phone calls between the cell phone of Ray Epps and the office of Speaker Pelosi in the week before#January6th,” reads the tweet, which has been shared more than 15,000 times. The user provided no evidence for the claim. Drew Hammill, a spokesperson for Pelosi, said in an email to the AP that the claim is false. And experts in the Freedom of Information Act — which allows members of the public to request records from federal agencies — confirmed that such information cannot be obtained through a FOIA request. Congress is not subject to the law, which is limited to the executive branch of the federal government and agencies, experts said. “It does not apply to Congress, the courts, state and local governments, or private entities,” Kel McClanahan, executive director of the National Security Counselors law firm, told the AP in an email. “A right to access public records exists under the common law which has been occasionally interpreted by courts to apply to certain Congressional offices, but no Congressional office would voluntarily turn over such information without litigation,” McClanahan wrote. If such a case were litigated, the congressional office would likely win, because phone records would fall under the “speech or debate” clause of the U.S. Constitution, which places rigid restrictions on what information, if any, members of Congress can release, McClanahan said. Adam A. Marshall, a lawyer at the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, concurred that such information couldn’t be obtained through FOIA. “Congress is not subject to FOIA. It doesn’t matter what type of records are at issue,” Marshall said in an interview with the AP. Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger, who led questioning in the closing summer hearing of the Jan. 6 committee, also tweeted that the claim was false. “Take a gander. Absolutely false, literally made up, yet tens of thousands of RT’s, This is what democracy is up against,” Kinzinger said. “It’s time for the uneasy alliance between democracy defending people of all political stripes. #misinformation.” Epps did not respond to a request for comment.

Contrary to false claim, Russia hasn’t closed WHO offices
CLAIM: Russia has “officially expelled” the World Health Organization and “closed all of its offices in Moscow.”
THE FACTS: The WHO continues to operate offices in Russia, the organization confirmed to the AP. A widely viewed Instagram video and posts on other social media platforms are spreading the false claim that Russia banned the global health agency from the country. “Russia has officially expelled the WHO and closed all of its offices in Moscow,” a woman in the video claims without evidence, before criticizing U.S. COVID-19 vaccine policies and mRNA vaccines. The same claim was spread thousands of times through an image shared on Facebook and Twitter. In reality, the WHO still maintains its offices in Moscow. “The claims made in the video are false,” WHO spokesman Bhanu Bhatnagar said in an email to the AP. “WHO continues to operate in the Russian Federation, both through our Country Office and our Office for Noncommunicable Diseases.” In May, Pyotr Tolstoy, the deputy chairman of the Russia State Duma lower house of parliament, did suggest Russia should withdraw from the WHO as well as the World Trade Organization. The same month, delegates of the World Health Assembly, the decision-making body of the WHO, approved a resolution condemning Russia’s war in Ukraine and attacks on health care facilities there. But Russia remains a member state of WHO and “nothing has changed,” said Lawrence Gostin, a Georgetown University law professor and director of the university’s WHO Collaborating Center on National and Global Health Law. Gostin noted in an email that the country still has voting rights in the World Health Assembly. European member states also suggested the organization should consider moving the WHO European Office for the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases from Moscow — a position that Ukraine has voiced. But Bhatnagar said that “matter is still under advisement.”

Old video of Weather Channel co-founder fuels climate misinfo
CLAIM: Climate change is not happening, nor are humans causing significant global warming. There is also no scientific consensus that climate change is occurring.
THE FACTS: The scientific consensus is that climate change is real and that greenhouse gas emissions caused by human activity are driving climate change, as the AP has previously reported. A video of John Coleman, the now deceased co-founder of The Weather Channel, making a variety of false claims about climate change during a 2014 interview on CNN’s “Reliable Sources” resurfaced online, with social media users sharing it as if it were new. During the interview, Coleman claimed that there is “no consensus” in science that humans are causing climate change. “Climate change is not happening, there is no significant man-made global warming now, there hasn’t been any in the past and there is no reason to expect any in the future,” Coleman said. A tweet featuring the footage has been shared over 28,000 times since it was posted last week. Coleman’s claims are false. As the AP has previouslyreported, overwhelming scientific evidence shows global warming and climate change are real and caused by human activity, including human-caused carbon dioxide emissions. The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, an entity consisting of more than 200 scientists, said in a report released in February that human-induced climate change is already causing deadly extreme weather, such as drought, fires, and floods, and that the situation will get worse if global warming isn’t curbed. “The cumulative scientific evidence is unequivocal: Climate change is a threat to human well-being and planetary health,” the report said. Coleman, who co-founded The Weather Channel and served for its CEO for about a year, died in 2018 at age 83, the AP reported. Despite his background as a meteorologist, Coleman caused controversy in the later years of his career for doubting humanity’s role in causing global warming, which he called a “hoax” and a “scam.” When Coleman appeared on CNN’s “Reliable Sources” in 2014, The Weather Channel’s parent company distanced itself from his comments. David Kenny, then CEO of the Weather Company, appeared on the same segment to respond, noting that Coleman hadn’t been involved at The Weather Channel for decades. “The science is pretty clear about climate change,” Kenny said. “I think some people were confused to hear a statement from somebody who was noted as a co-founder of The Weather Channel, which is true, we’re grateful that he got it started 32 years ago. But he hasn’t been with us in 31 years, so he’s not really speaking for The Weather Channel in any way today.” Weather Group, the channel’s current parent company, did not comment.

CLAIM: A headline on People magazine’s website reports that Klondike’s Choco Tacos were discontinued in response to the “woke mob” and recent allegations of “cultural appropriation.”
THE FACTS: A representative for People magazine confirms this headline was fabricated, and Klondike did not cite cultural appropriation as a reason for discontinuing its beloved treat. Still, a manipulated image designed to look like a People magazine headline circulated as real across social media this week as the public reacted to the news of the Choco Taco’s demise. The fake headline, which amassed thousands of shares on Twitter, read, “Klondike’s Choco Taco Cancelled By Woke Mob After Almost 40 Years.” A fabricated subheading read, “A representative for the brand confirmed to PEOPLE that due to recent allegations of ‘cultural appropriation’ the Choco Taco is no more.” Though some Twitter users shared the image as a joke, others believed it represented a real People magazine story, but the image was fake, confirmed People spokesperson Julie Farin. People magazine did report on the news, but with a different headline, “Klondike’s Choco Taco Discontinued After Almost 40 Years.” The Associated Press reported Tuesday that Klondike had cited an “unprecedented spike in demand across our portfolio” over the past two years as its reason for discontinuing the product. A Klondike representative said the brand “had to make very tough decisions to ensure availability of our full portfolio nationwide” and said “a necessary but unfortunate part of this process is that we sometimes discontinue products.” Klondike also said on social media that it was “working hard to find a way to bring Choco Taco back to ice cream trucks in the coming years.”

Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido wins latest round of London legal fight with country's president Nicolas Maduro over £800million of gold bullion in Bank of England vaults
- The rival leaders are both battling to secure the release of the gold
- A judge ruled there was 'no basis' for recognising the Maduro Board's judgements
- A spokesman for the Maduro Board said an appeal is being considered
- The UK government recognises Guaido over Maduro as Venezuelan president
London's High Court rejected Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro's latest efforts to control £800million of bullion, making up around half the country's gold reserves.
A High Court judge ruled in favour of Juan Guaido on Friday after analysing arguments at a London hearing, saying there was 'no basis' for the 'recognition of judgements upon which the Maduro Board lies'.
Two rival boards of the Central Bank of Venezuela - one appointed by Mr Guaido and another appointed by Mr Maduro - are battling to secure the release of the gold in the Bank of England's vaults.
The court ruled that previous decisions by the Maduro-backed Venezuelan Supreme Court aimed at reducing opposition leader Juan Guaido's say over the gold should be disregarded.
Venezuelan opposition leader and self-proclaimed acting president Juan Guaido (pictured left in 2020) won the latest round in a battle over £800,000 of gold bullion in Bank of England vaults over president Nicolas Maduro (pictured right during a rally in 2019)
Mrs Justice Cockerill considered whether judgements made by the Supreme Tribunal of Justice of Venezuela, the highest Venezuelan constitutional court, should also be recognised by British judges.
A spokesman for the Maduro Board, Lawyer Sarosh Zaiwalla, said an appeal is being considered and that it was an 'unfortunate ruling' that rests on a 'narrow issue of law' about recognising foreign judgements.
Guaido has won a series of legal clashes over the bullion after the British government recognised him rather than Maduro as the Latin American country's president.

In December Supreme Court justices ruled that UK judges must accept that the UK Government recognises Mr Guaido as president of the Latin American country.
Five Supreme Court justices, based in London, said Mr Maduro is not recognised by the UK Government as president of Venezuela 'for any purpose'.
Maduro's legal team has said he would like to sell some of the 31 tonnes of gold to finance Venezuela's response to the pandemic and bolster a health system gutted by years of economic crisis.
Guaido's opposition has alleged that Maduro's cash-strapped administration wants to use the money to pay off his foreign allies, which his lawyers deny.
A spokesman for Mr Guaido said the interim president welcomed the ruling.
Mr Guaido added: 'This decision represents another step in the process of protecting Venezuela's international gold reserves and preserving them for the Venezuelan people and their future.'
The British government joined dozens of nations in early 2019 in backing Guaido after he declared an interim presidency and denounced Maduro for rigging the 2018 elections. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11062211/Juan-Guaido-wins-latest-round-against-Venezuelan-president-Nicolas-Maduro-gold-bullion.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-07-29T16:23:32Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11062211/Juan-Guaido-wins-latest-round-against-Venezuelan-president-Nicolas-Maduro-gold-bullion.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true | 3 |
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden and his administration went all out Thursday to play down a troubling new economic report that added to the evidence of a recession, trying to pull focus instead to major legislative progress on measures to tame inflation, reduce debt and preserve America’s competitive edge.
The desire to accentuate the positive reflected the political tensions that are already playing out in the runup to the midterm elections. Republican lawmakers are sounding the alarm that a downturn has already started, a claim challenged by Biden and his fellow Democrats who wanted the public to instead focus on a pair of likely wins in Congress.
Thursday reflected the constant push-and-pull that has defined the Biden administration, in which any triumph can be overshadowed by a setback and the news cycle moves at a faster pace than victory laps. This created dueling narratives about where the country is.
Republicans said the report showing the economy shrank for the second consecutive quarter was evidence of a “Biden recession” at a time when inflation is at a four-decade high.
Biden, in turn, cited near-record-low unemployment and signs of continued business investment in the economy. He declared, “That doesn’t sound like recession to me.”
The president celebrated congressional passage of a $280 billion bipartisan package to boost the U.S. semiconductor industry and the sudden resurrection of a Democrats-only proposal to lower prescription drug costs, tackle climate change, fund the IRS, establish a minimum corporate tax and cut the deficit.
Other White House officials took Biden’s cue and shrugged off the gross domestic product report showing the economy shrank at an annual rate of 0.9%.
“Where we are right now is we’re on the cusp of doing really historic things that would help move the ball forward on the economy,” Brian Deese, director of the White House National Economic Council, told The Associated Press when asked about the troubling GDP report. “That’s our focus.”
In a rare press conference, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen allowed that Americans are fundamentally concerned about inflation, not the back-and-forth between Democrats and Republicans about whether the GDP report shows that the economy has slid into a recession.
“We should avoid a semantic battle,” Yellen told reporters, adding that Americans’ “biggest concern is with inflation” and that they generally feel good about their ability to find a job and stay employed.
Still, the treasury secretary deployed some rhetoric of her own by saying that growth was “slowing,” when the GDP report showed that the economy has shrunk in size over the past six months.
The ultimate arbiter of whether the country is in a recession is the National Bureau of Economic Research, which might not make its determination for some time.
Yellen portrayed the slowdown as positive for an economy returning to normal after the pandemic, a contrast to the Republicans’ argument that it was an unabashed failure caused by Democratic policies rather than a world’s complicated attempt to re-emerge from the coronavirus pandemic.
This debate trickled down to the semiconductor bill now awaiting Biden’s signature and new climate and drug pricing legislation that Democrats have dubbed the “Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.” The administration says both bills would combat inflation, while Republican opponents argue they will push prices higher.
“This morning the government announced what every American has been feeling for nearly a year — we are in a recession,” House Republican Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said in a floor speech. “Democrat spending caused this inflation. And now, they are doubling down on the same failed strategy.”
Other Republicans moved quickly to capitalize on the report, with the Republican National Committee declaring it indicative of “Biden’s Recession.”
Even the White House acknowledges that the legislative proposals won’t have an immediate effect on consumer prices or economic output, but it believes voters will reward Biden and Democrats for being seen as proposing solutions to the challenges affecting households’ bottom lines.
Biden told The Associated Press in an interview earlier this year that he sees his mission as giving Americans a renewed sense of confidence, yet the faith he seeks to keep and spread is constantly getting eroded because the losses are lingering in people’s memories and the wins are easily forgotten.
Even if a U.S. recession is an open question for economists, the matter of the economy’s health is largely settled among voters.
Nearly 8 in 10 Americans described the U.S. economy as poor and roughly 7 in 10 disapproved of Biden’s economic leadership, according to a June survey by AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. Consumer sentiment as measured by the University of Michigan began to decline as inflation persisted as a threat, with confidence among Democrats relatively weak.
The Federal Reserve, which on Wednesday moved sharply to raise interest rates to further slow the economy in an effort to bring down inflation, signaled that more hikes are on the horizon in a sign that the battle against inflation — and the political skirmishes that follow — could continue well into this year’s November elections. | https://www.bigcountryhomepage.com/news/business/ap-business/biden-shrugs-off-recession-talk-talks-up-fighting-inflation/ | 2022-07-29T16:25:14Z | https://www.bigcountryhomepage.com/news/business/ap-business/biden-shrugs-off-recession-talk-talks-up-fighting-inflation/ | true | 33 |
The volatile bear market that's rocked stocks for the last few months is over, according to Fundstrat Global Advisors' Tom Lee. The firm's head of research said in a note to clients that recent events signal that the "bottom is in" and that stocks could hit new highs by the end of the year. According to Lee, the reaction to this week's news is promising. Markets got a wave of troubling economic data from a negative GDP print and another aggressive 75 basis point rate hike, yet stocks continued to rally. "This is the August 1982 moment, bottom is in but Fed is two months away from a pivot," Lee wrote. Lee believes similarities exist between now and 1982, when equities bottomed that August — just two months before then Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker ditched his "anti-inflation" agenda, and the market recovered from a 36-month bear run in just four months. Given these comparisons, Lee said stocks could hit new highs by the end of the year, with the S & P 500 breaking back above 4,800. The benchmark hit an intraday record of 4,818.62 in early January. At the same, global companies continue to post solid earnings per share growth despite a surging U.S. dollar and negative GDP print, he added. Lee was among the first Wall Street strategists to initially call the pandemic comeback . He told CNBC in April 2020 that the "faster you fall, the faster you recover," adding that the market typically recovers half of its losses in half the time it took to fall. To be sure, heading into 2022, Lee remained overly optimistic about the market and admitted during an interview with CNBC's "Halftime Report" in March that he had been too bullish . "Our base case for the first half of this year was that stock would be treacherous, but it's been far worse than we expected," Lee said. "It's been a far deeper correction than we expected, but I don't think the contours of the rest of the year change that much." Lee maintains a favorable view on many beaten-up "FANG" names, with Apple in five of six portfolios and Google-parent Alphabet and Microsoft both in four. Those technology names along with Amazon and Meta are also referred to as "granny shot," a designation given to stocks in a minimum of two portfolios. | https://www.cnbc.com/2022/07/29/tom-lee-says-the-2022-bear-market-is-over-stocks-could-hit-new-highs-before-year-end.html | 2022-07-29T16:28:54Z | https://www.cnbc.com/2022/07/29/tom-lee-says-the-2022-bear-market-is-over-stocks-could-hit-new-highs-before-year-end.html | true | 1 |
Ghanaian forward Jordan Mintah has reacted to breaking his goal drought for Kuala Lumpur City against Kedah.
The 26-year-old scored in the 2-1 win against Kedah in the Malaysian top-flight league on Wednesday.
Mintah scored in the 56th and 72nd minute respectively as he bagged his first and second goals after matchday three.
Speaking after the game, Mintah admitted that the first few days with his new club was not easy as he joined them towards the tail end of the second transfer window.
“I joined them a bit late so I did not have much time to train, get to know the players and so on. But game by game, things got better and in my fourth game, I finally hit the back of the net ... not once but twice!” he exclaimed.
“I have to thank the coaches and teammates who kept motivating me. Now that I have found my goalscoring touch, I hope to put the club in a better position by scoring more.”
Mintah has made three appearances and scored two goals in the ongoing campaign. | https://ghanasoccernet.com/kuala-lumpur-city-forward-jordan-mintah-reacts-after-scoring-breaking-goal-drought-against-kedah | 2022-07-29T16:29:00Z | https://ghanasoccernet.com/kuala-lumpur-city-forward-jordan-mintah-reacts-after-scoring-breaking-goal-drought-against-kedah | false | 3 |
At the end of the 2015-2016 school year, the Illinois High School Association had around 13,700 licensed officials for sports from football and basketball to water polo and gymnastics.
For the upcoming school year, that number is expected to be just under 11,000.
“What we’ve seen is this gradual lack of returning, lack of renewing a license by officials,” said Kurt Gibson, associate executive director of IHSA.
Gibson said the number of licensed officials for the organization’s 820 member schools has been declining for about ten years.
That accelerated in recent years because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
But Gibson said surveys of departing officials show another issue.
“The behavior of fans is driving a number of officials away,” Gibson said.
A thankless job
Gibson said the work of officials can be thankless.
It’s also, for most people, a side hustle on top of a full-time job.
IHSA wants to remind fans that although officials can make mistakes – just like players and coaches do – they are doing their best.
They are also essential to the sports.
“Without officials, without people giving of their time, talent, and service to others, students aren’t going to be able to play games,” Gibson said.
In a few cases, competitions have been cancelled because of the shortage.
But so far a bigger challenge for schools is scheduling, when there simply aren’t enough officials to go around.
“What schools have been doing over these past couple years is looking for alternative dates to play, so that an officiating crew in a sport like football, for example, could maybe work a Thursday night game, a Friday night game, and a Saturday afternoon game,” Gibson said.
IHSA is working to attract new generations of officials such as recent college graduates.
They’ve also had some success in recruiting former athletes, empty nesters, and parents in their 30s, 40s and 50s.
Stepping up
Aaron Frey is among those stepping up to officiate high school sports.
He’s 36, married, and a father of two.
“If I can do one game a week, that’s a little extra money in my pocket,” Frey said. “And it’s going to help players who are passionate about the sport that they love, and fans and coaches who are passionate about the sport that they love too.”
Frey grew up in a small town near St. Louis and now lives in a small town in west central Illinois.
He said he’s not afraid to step into the fray, in part because he’s worked as a sports reporter.
That gave him an appreciation for the work of officials and the nuances of the game -- and it also made him impartial.
“Every game I go to, I never root for a team to win or lose, I just root for a good game. And you know, you call it as you see it,” Frey said.
Officially official. Looking forward this new @IHSAOfficials adventure! pic.twitter.com/mclAT7vH5Q

He is now licensed to officiate football and basketball, and he signed up for games within 30 miles.
While most people associate high school football with Friday nights or basketball with Friday and Saturday games, officials are needed for weekday games for junior high and junior varsity.
“For me, and probably most other first-time officials, the games I’ve been assigned to so far have all been junior high and sophomore games,” Frey said.
He said he’s not worried about the public criticism that comes with the job.
“I’ve joked with a few folks that I’m on a mission to have as many people yell at me as possible,” Frey said. “I’ve already checked off newspaper readers and my wife, so I’m just adding sports fans to the list.”
But what it’s really about for Frey is keeping traditions alive and giving back to his community.
Plus he said those black and white striped shirts are slimming.

(The Hill) — President Joe Biden has been proactively getting in Donald Trump’s face in recent days.
Biden has been taunting his predecessor with slights, calling him “the defeated former president of the United States.”
He’s called him out by name, dubbing him a liar and saying he lacks courage.
Biden has even ripped Trump’s patriotism and loyalty to the country, pointing to his actions on Jan. 6, 2021: “You can’t be pro-insurrection and pro-cop. You can’t be pro-insurrection and pro-democracy. You can’t be pro-insurrection and pro-American,” Biden said in a virtual address Monday to the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives conference.
A day later, Biden took to Twitter, in a rare move, to rip Trump again: “Call me old fashioned, but I don’t think inciting a mob that attacks a police officer is ‘respect for the law.’”
Earlier this month, Biden said while he couldn’t offer a prediction on if Trump would be the Republican nominee in 2024, he said he “would not be disappointed” if he were to face off with Trump again in 2024.
After ending his COVID-19 isolation, Biden appeared to take another shot at Trump, noting the former president, who got COVID before vaccines were available, had to be “helicoptered” to Walter Reed hospital.
The Trump insults are becoming more common, and they are no accident.
With the midterm elections inching closer, Biden is expected to play up the contrast between Democrats and Republicans and at times would be expected to use Trump as his foil.
The January 6th committee hearing has offered Biden the perfect backdrop for the rash of new attacks, providing evidence of Trump’s alleged involvement in the insurrection on the Capitol and his willingness to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
And it coincides with the hopes of Democratic campaigns that voters will come out and vote against the GOP because of Trump.
“Why not compare and contrast the person who truly is the face of the Republican Party?” said Democratic strategist Rodell Mollineau. “Donald Trump is the face of the opposition, and it’s smart to remind Americans who he is.”
Such strategies have not been entirely effective for Democrats. Just last year, Republican Glenn Youngkin won the Virginia governor’s race as Democrats sought to tie him to Trump.
But it’s still a solid strategy, say Democrats, given dealmaking with Republicans is largely over.
“He’s gotten everything he can for now from Senate Republicans, and Trump is making noise about announcing soon, so it’s the perfect time to drop the gloves and get back up in their faces,” Democratic strategist Eddie Vale said. “And then it’s also perfectly timed up on top of that with the January 6th hearing putting the spotlight on Trump’s insurrection to draw the direct contact between his danger and demagoguery and Biden’s growing-rapidly-by-the-day achievements.”
Though Biden received unwelcome news on Thursday in the form of a Commerce Department report showing the economy shrunk in the second quarter, it hasn’t been a bad week for the president.
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) struck a deal with Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) on what would be the most massive climate change bill in congressional history. If it passes, it would be a significant win at a time when Biden needed one.
Separately, Congress approved a bill to help U.S. production of semiconductors, and Biden is hoping the Senate may still pass a bill codifying same-sex marriage.
Biden’s national polling average has lingered around 38 percent, and surveys show most Democrats don’t want Biden to seek reelection in 2024.
Trump, who could launch a new presidential bid any day, has often lobbed attacks on Biden. He has criticized the president on everything from his mental acuity to his handling of economy.
Biden, in contrast, has avoided Trump insults for much of his presidency, not wanting to give attention to his predecessor.
Insults, when they came, were done mostly through veiled asides.
“Finally, infrastructure week,” Biden quipped in November, referring to an ongoing joke during the Trump administration about the inability to move legislation through at that time.
But in recent days, it has been Biden punching first.
“He needs to drop the tough guy act,” Fox News Host Jesse Watters said Wednesday on the network’s show “The Five.”
Biden has positioned himself as the best person who can defeat Trump in 2024, a comment he’s made both publicly and privately to aides and allies.
“He truly believes he’s the only one who can win,” one ally said. “And I believe he’s 100 percent correct.”
The ally acknowledged that one of Biden’s weaknesses against someone like Trump is the notion that he lacks the stamina to take on the former president or other Republicans including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Democrats also want to elect someone they see as a fighter who isn’t afraid to rip the nominee to shreds. “So to have Biden out there taking on Trump without being lured into the fight is a good thing,” the ally said. “Why shouldn’t he be the one to throw the first punches? Why wait for the bully?”
At the same time, Democrats say Trump’s grip around the base isn’t what it used to be.
“The Republican Party remains Trump’s party but it’s bad for their brand among swing voters and in general elections,” said Ben LaBolt, the Democratic strategist who served as a spokesman to former President Barack Obama. “There’s only one candidate that proved themselves able to take on Donald Trump and win the last election — Joe Biden — and a tete-a-tete between the two of them continues to elevate Biden and the Democratic Party.” | https://wgnradio.com/news/biden-turns-up-the-insults-on-donald-trump/ | 2022-07-29T16:31:18Z | https://wgnradio.com/news/biden-turns-up-the-insults-on-donald-trump/ | true | 16 |

Budget 2022-23: higher tax imposed on buyers of vehicles over 1,600cc engine capacity
“The significant devaluation of Pakistani rupee and increase in taxes and duties, including the government-imposed levy of Capital Value Tax (CVT) on all 1,300cc and above vehicles, increased raw material prices and transport costs have adversely impacted IMC, as well as vendor cost of production,” the company said in a July 28 notification to its dealers.
“This situation has unfortunately made it extremely difficult for IMC to continue to maintain the current retail selling prices.”
Rupee ends 10-session depreciation run, closes at 239.37
It further notified that the intake of orders remained suspended until further notice.
On Friday morning, the company announced it would temporarily shut down its production plant from August 1, 2022 to August 13, 2022. The official announcement comes just days after Business Recorder reported that IMC is planning to temporarily shut its production of all variants.

BERLIN (AP) — A German court on Friday threw out a lawsuit against a guideline issued by automaker Audi that called for employees to use gender-sensitive language.
An employee of Audi's parent company, Volkswagen, objected to Audi colleagues using such language in their communications with him and went to the state court in Audi's home city of Ingolstadt to challenge the guideline. He alleged a violation of his personal rights.
But the court ruled the person who brought the lawsuit had no right to demand the non-application of the guidance, German news agency dpa reported. Judge Christoph Hellerbrand said it was directed only at Audi employees and the plaintiff. as a Volkswagen employee, was not required to follow it.
The court also found that being on the receiving end of gender-sensitive wording wasn't enough to justify a ruling in the Volkswagen employee's favor. He didn't have a right “to be left in peace,” the judge ruled.
Some other companies have introduced similar guidelines.
German nouns referring to people and their professions have different masculine and feminine forms.
The Audi guideline in question was introduced last year. It called for the use of a form of German words that includes an underscore to encompass both masculine and feminine forms and is meant to show broader gender inclusiveness — writing “employees” as “Mitarbeiter_innen,” for example.
That and another gender-sensitive form that uses an asterisk — in which “employees” would be written as “Mitarbeiter*innen" — annoy conservatives, some language experts and others.
They prefer more traditional forms such as the “generic masculine” — using the masculine plural, “Mitarbeiter," to refer to all genders, or in some cases referring genders separately as “Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter.” | https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/article/German-court-rejects-suit-over-gender-sensitive-17338193.php | 2022-07-29T16:38:24Z | https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/article/German-court-rejects-suit-over-gender-sensitive-17338193.php | false | 17 |

NET SALES AS OF JUNE 30, 2022
PCAS (Euronext Paris: PCA), a specialist in developing and producing complex molecules for life sciences and innovative technologies, has announced the publication of its consolidated net sales as of June 30, 2022.
The PCAS Group has generated consolidated net sales of €109.8 million as of June 30, 2022, a 3.3% increase compared to the same period during the previous financial year (+1.4% at constant exchange rates).
Pharmaceutical Synthesis
The Pharmaceutical Synthesis business generated sales of €67.4 million, a 6.8% decrease compared to 2021 (a 8.2% decrease at a constant exchange rate). However, net sales increased during the second quarter, mainly driven by the first commercial production batches of Estetrol for Mithra on the new manufacturing unit in Villeneuve-la-Garenne, with the completion of validation batches. Demand remains buoyant at the Turku and Aramon sites and the level of sales was also boosted by price increase initiatives launched at the end of 2021 and in the second quarter of 2022 in order to preserve margins in a context of inflation. However, the R&D and intermediates activity remains below what it used to be in 2021.
Fine Specialty Chemicals
Net sales of Fine Specialty Chemicals totaled €42.4 million, a 24.9% increase compared to 2021 (+21.8% at a constant exchange rate). A very strong demand in Electronics and Cosmetics and a positive trend in Lubricants and Fine Chemicals account for most of the strong increase in net sales in the first half-year. The rise in the costs of raw materials and energy could be passed on to customers and thus contributed to the growth in net sales. Projects are still being driven by a good momentum, with a significant number of industrialization phases carried out since the beginning of the year.
Outlook
The PCAS Group will generate a further significant current operational loss in the first half of 2022, still negatively affected by business levels that are still not sufficient to cover the fixed costs incurred at several Pharmaceutical synthesis sites, and inventory depreciations linked to non-compliant productions. Further, the 2022 half-year financial statements will include an expense of €14.5 million corresponding to an impairment of the Group's goodwill, as an immediate consequence of an increase in the discount rate used to determine future operating cash flows as part of impairment tests.
All the PCAS Group teams, with the support of its majority shareholder Seqens for the financing of its activities and its development, however, remain fully committed to improving the results in 2022 and a return to positive results in 2023, helped by gradual growth in Estetrol volumes for Mithra.

ABOUT PCAS
PCAS specializes in the development and production of complex molecules for life sciences and innovative technologies. With about 12% of its net sales earmarked for R&D and a large international footprint, PCAS is the preferred industrial partner for market-leading major global groups. Boasting especially high standards, the company offers a growing range of proprietary products and solutions in leading-edge segments. PCAS generated net sales of €187.0 million in 2021 and employs nearly 1100 people in six countries.

Motherwell have this afternoon parted company with boss Graham Alexander after 19 months in charge.
The Fir Park club say the decision is by mutual consent.
He will leave the club, alongside his assistant Chris Lucketti, ahead of their Premiership opener at St Mirren on Sunday.
The news comes 24 hours after Motherwell exited the Europa Conference League second qualifying round after a bruising 3-0 aggregate defeat to League of Ireland club Sligo Rovers.
Chairman John McMahon said: "Graham asked to speak with us early on Friday morning, and everyone agreed that it would be best to make a change.
"We asked Graham to reverse our fortunes when he arrived eighteen months ago and he did that, before a really solid start to his first full season at Fir Park laid the foundations for what ultimately led to a fifth place finish and European football.
“However, things haven’t gone as well for a spell in 2022 and although the timing is not ideal, we hope a change will bring about fresh impetus for everyone ahead of the 2022/23 season.
“I would like to place on record our sincere thanks to Graham and Chris for all their hard work and effort and wish them every success in their future careers.”
Graham Alexander said: "I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Motherwell and leave with nothing but good wishes for the club in the future.
“I’m proud that we came in with the club joint bottom of the Premiership, and 18 months later leave having first secured our Premiership status, then qualified for Europe in our first full season. Our points tally in that time is only behind Rangers & Celtic.
“I also want to thank everyone who has worked so hard alongside us, and for the support I have received from Alan Burrows, Jim McMahon and the board of directors. It has been a pleasure to represent Motherwell Football Club.”
Former Scotland star Alexander, 50, took over from Stephen Robinson on January 7, 2021, and just over a year later signed a contract extension until 2025.
But fans voiced their concerns during a terrible run of results in 2022, which seemed to come despite Alexander steering the Fir Park club to European football.
Motherwell ended the season in fifth place, largely down to their first half-season form. In 2022 Motherwell won just five out of 23 games, with 12 defeats and six draws thrown in.
Despite a lengthy career as a talented defender, Motherwell conceded 41 times this year, scoring just 22 in response.

New mobile technology with the ability to automatically detect drivers who fail to wear a seatbelt or use their mobile phones at the wheel is being trialled in the UK. The new van is being trialled in partnership with Warwickshire Police in a bid to boost road safety.
The van, which contains detection equipment to help identify motorists driving dangerously, has already hit motorways and major A-roads across England. The research project aims to understand the scale of the problem around these dangerous motoring offences, with the vehicle sitting stationary at the side of the road while in use.
The new "sensor test vehicle" is equipped with multiple cameras which can record footage of passing motorists. Images captured by the cameras are then processed using artificial intelligence (AI) to determine if motorists were using a handheld mobile phone or if drivers and passengers were without a seat belt.

As part of this work, drivers who are spotted on their phones or travelling without wearing their seatbelts will be sent warning letters in partnership with the police force, informing them of the dangers of their actions. The warning letters, issued by police, will remind drivers that they could be fined up to £500 for not wearing a seat belt, in addition to receiving penalty points.
Drivers will also be asked to complete a short survey which will be used to inform National Highways’ research. The van is initially set to be trialled over a period of three months, with findings set to inform the next steps and any future deployment, with the possibility of them being upgraded with additional technology to detect tailgating offences.
National Highways Head of Road Safety Jeremy Phillips said: “Safety remains our top priority and we want everyone to get to their destination safely. Sadly, there are still drivers who do not feel the need to wear a seatbelt, become distracted by their phones or travel too close to the vehicle in front.
"We want to see if we can change driver behaviour and therefore improve road safety for everyone. Our advice is clear; please leave enough space, buckle up and give the road your full attention.”
RAC head of roads policy, Nicholas Lyes added: "We’re extremely pleased to see National Highways and Warwickshire Police working together on this, and very much hope other police forces follow suit in a bid to make our roads safer.”

With so many traditional chippies to be found scattered all over the capital, Londoners are spoiled for choice over where to go. Picking out the best one can be quite a mission, but thanks to public restaurant ratings and reviews easily found online, you can get a rather good idea of where to start searching.
Holding its head high above the rest is one particular place in East London. Jack the Chipper has two branches, one in Greenwich and one in Whitechapel, and as can be seen, the chippy gets its name from the infamous Jack the Ripper, the late 19th-century serial killer who once terrorised London’s Eastend.
The name of the chippy has triggered a wave of boycotting by some critics who believe it glorifies Jack the Ripper’s crimes, but if the ratings left by customers on Google, Facebook, Just Eat and TripAdvisor are anything to go by, it seems most people don’t mind the controversial marketing strategy.
After all, this chippy isn’t the first business based in Whitechapel to market themselves based on the notorious serial killer. There is also a nearby barbershop called Jack the Clipper, while Jack the Ripper tours are very popular among visitors to the area.
On Google, the chippy is rated 4.4 out of 5, while on Facebook diners have rated it 4.2 out of 5. TripAdvisor has the chippy on a more humble 4 out of 5. Meanwhile, on Just East, people have given it a 4.8 out of 6.
Reviews are overall good, although some customers had a bone or two to pick with the prices. A regular cod and chips at Jack the Chipper costs £10.90, a few pounds more than your usual chippy. A large cod and chips, meanwhile, costs £12.90.
I decided to pop down to their branch in Greenwich, located just a few metres away from the Cutty Sark, to check out the place myself. On first impressions, I was surprised how small this branch was, but decided to make use of the very limited seating to soak in some of the atmosphere.
The shop had a very vintage feel, with the walls covered in photos of Elvis Presley and old newspaper cuttings. Staff were very warm and welcoming as they invited me in and took my order, with an Elvis Presley record quietly playing in the background.
The smell of the food alone was enough to whet my appetite, and thankfully I didn’t have to wait too long to get my serving, which was very generous indeed. “Get ready to eat the best fish and chips in your life,” said one of the workers as started to dig in.
I could immediately tell the cod was going to be delicious by the way my knife cut through the crust and revealed a pure white and chunky piece of fish underneath it. Anyone would be forgiven for assuming the cod was beer-battered, but business owner Cagri told me the food in his chippy was halal and therefore didn’t use alcohol.
After asking him what his secret was, Cagri told me that the cod was prepared with peanut sauce, and that all the fish in his shop was fresh from Billingsgate fish market, located in nearby Canary Wharf. He added the fish he sells is brought down from Scotland, where waters are clearer than they are down south.
The freshness of the fish was obvious from the flavour, and the chips were prepared to perfection, with just the right amount of salt and vinegar to stimulate the taste buds without overpowering them.
While finishing up my meal, I couldn’t help but notice the number of people going in and out of the shop. A couple of visitors saying they were from Saudi Arabia were there, saying that they were trying fish and chips for the first time.
“If I like it I’ll come back,” the customer joked as he left with his takeaway. One worker replied: “I’ll see you next time then.”
The worker then turned to me and said: “We have many foreigners like him who come here to try fish and chips for the first time and they all come back, at least once a week.”
Of course, in my case, this was not my first time eating fish and chips but it might as well have been, because never have I had a fish and chips that was so delicious. While the meal was a little pricey, it was worth every penny.
My only criticism is that there are only two branches and both are in East London, which isn’t so great for people who live elsewhere. But the good news is that Jack the Chipper is said to be opening an even bigger branch in Whitechapel, so that’s a sign that business is going well for them.
The name might not be to everyone’s liking, but if they can keep up the momentum, there could be more Jack the Chippers opening in other parts of London in the future.

A high-profile Macomb County first-degree murder case was one of two cases in which the state Supreme Court issued significant rulings in split decisions Thursday regarding juvenile life sentences.
Michigan’s high court in People v. Kemo K. Parks from Genesee County increased the age, from 17 to 18, that allows a convicted first-degree murderer to seek a parolable sentence as a juvenile instead of automatic life without parole, which is automatic for adults convicted of first-degree murder.
“The Court came to ‘the inescapable conclusion that mandatorily condemning 18-year-olds to die in prison, without consideration of the attributes of youth that 18-year-olds and juveniles share, no longer comports with the ‘evolving standards of decency that mark the progress of a maturing society,’” State Appellate Defender Office said in a news released Thursday. “The Court acknowledged that because of how a young adolescent’s brain is still developing, ‘automatic condemnation to die in prison at 18 is beyond severity — it is cruelty.’”
“This opens the door for some (first-degree murder defendants),” said Macomb County Public Defender Thomas Tomko, although whether it is retroactive remains in question.
In addition, in a multi-faceted opinion in the Robert Taylor case out of Macomb County, the high court placed the burden of proving a juvenile deserves a sentence of life in prison without parole on the prosecution instead of the defense. Taylor was convicted of killing Matthew Landry in 2009.
“We hold that (state law) expressly requires that the prosecutor play the role of moving party and that, therefore, the prosecutor bears the burden of proof at a Miller hearing,” wrote four justices in the majority opinion. “If the prosecutor cannot shoulder this burden by clear and convincing evidence, the trial court must sentence the defendant to a term of years.”
On top of that, the high court ordered Taylor to be resentenced because Macomb Circuit Judge Diane Druzinski did not consider all of the factors laid out in the 2012 U.S. Supreme Court case, Miller v. Alabama, that outlawed automatic life-without-parole terms for juveniles.
“Our decision today seeks to provide guidance and ensure uniformity in the procedures used by sentencing courts when facing the monumental responsibility of balancing the lessened culpability of juveniles and their capacity for change and rehabilitation with their often abhorrent criminal actions,” the majority opinion says.
However, before Taylor is resentenced, the state Court of Appeals must rule whether life without for first-degree, felony murder under aiding and abetting, under which Taylor was convicted, violates the Eighth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution protecting against cruel and unusual punishment.
A ruling that determines it does violate the Constitution could automatically allow Taylor to receive a parolable sentence.
County Prosecutor Peter Lucido, who was a state lawmaker three years ago when he sponsored “raise the age” that increased the maximum juvenile age from 16 to 17, said the rulings are part of an ongoing vast change in how juveniles are treated in the law.
“Now we’re reshaping the entire jurisprudence of juvenile law,” he said.
He said he supported raising the juvenile age three years ago because, “I didn’t think it was fair that some 17-year-old would be charged with a felony as an adult when they can’t sit on a jury, can’t vote and can’t enter a legal contract.” He noted the new law maintained for prosecutors to obtain an “adult waiver” that allows juveniles convicted of “heinious crimes” to receive “heinous penalties.”
He said he will decide whether to continue pursuing life without parole for Taylor if it makes it back to Druzinski for resentencing.
Taylor, now 29, and Ihab Masalmani, now 30, were convicted in 2010 of felony murder, carjacking, kidnapping and conspiracies for the August 2009 execution-style shooting of Landry, 21, of Chesterfield Township. Landry was buying sandwiches when he was abducted by the pair from an Eastpointe parking lot. Landry was held by the pair for hours until Masalmani walked him into an abandoned Detroit home and shot him in the head.
Taylor and Masalmani were initially ordered by Druzinski to serve life without parole but later gained a resentencing due to the U.S. Supreme Court’s Miller ruling. Taylor was 16 and Masalmani was 17 when they killed Landry.
Druzinski twice sentenced both defendants to life without parole. If Druzinski had ruled the killers were suitable for parole at their second sentencing in October 2014, she would have sentenced them to a term between 25 and 40 years.
The state Court of Appeals affirmed Masalmani’s life-without-parole sentence in 2015. The state Supreme Court in a 4-3 vote in May 2021 rejected Masalmani’s request for a third sentencing.
Taylor’s appeal was denied by the appeals court in September 2016. The Supreme Court in 2017 put the case on hold for over three years awaiting the outcome of three other cases, including Masalmani’s.
Taylor’s attorney, Conor Dugan, in seeking another sentencing for his client, wrote in a legal brief last December that Druzinski applied “the wrong standards” under Miller and should have sentenced Taylor to between 25 and 40 years.
“Taylor is not one of the rare juveniles for whom a sentence of LWOP (life without parole) is justified,” Dugan wrote. “The trial court failed to place the burden of proof on the prosecution, employed the Miller factors as aggravators rather than mitigators, and failed to employ the 33 particularized sentencing determinations required by Miller.”
Masalamani was the “mastermind of the scheme,” Dugan said. “Masalmani has stated that ‘Taylor was neither involved with, nor aware of, what was going to happen to Mr. Landry.’”
Meanwhile, in the Parks case, Assistant Defender Angeles Meneses of SADO said, “In rejecting a sentence of death in prison for Mr. Parks, the Michigan Supreme Court recognized what science and parents have long known – that teenagers are different from adults and that their brains are not fully developed. We are excited for the youth we represent and the many other teenagers in the same situation.”
Parks was convicted by a jury in the Genesee Circuit Court of first-degree premeditated murder under aiding and abetting and two weapons charges. Parks was 18 years old in 2016 when his older cousin, Dequavion Harris, shot and killed the victim in the parking lot of a convenience store.

BERLIN (AP) — A German court on Friday threw out a lawsuit against a guideline issued by automaker Audi that called for employees to use gender-sensitive language.
An employee of Audi's parent company, Volkswagen, objected to Audi colleagues using such language in their communications with him and went to the state court in Audi's home city of Ingolstadt to challenge the guideline. He alleged a violation of his personal rights.
But the court ruled the person who brought the lawsuit had no right to demand the non-application of the guidance, German news agency dpa reported. Judge Christoph Hellerbrand said it was directed only at Audi employees and the plaintiff. as a Volkswagen employee, was not required to follow it.
The court also found that being on the receiving end of gender-sensitive wording wasn't enough to justify a ruling in the Volkswagen employee's favor. He didn't have a right “to be left in peace,” the judge ruled.
Some other companies have introduced similar guidelines.
German nouns referring to people and their professions have different masculine and feminine forms.
The Audi guideline in question was introduced last year. It called for the use of a form of German words that includes an underscore to encompass both masculine and feminine forms and is meant to show broader gender inclusiveness — writing “employees” as “Mitarbeiter_innen,” for example.
That and another gender-sensitive form that uses an asterisk — in which “employees” would be written as “Mitarbeiter*innen" — annoy conservatives, some language experts and others.
They prefer more traditional forms such as the “generic masculine” — using the masculine plural, “Mitarbeiter," to refer to all genders, or in some cases referring genders separately as “Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter.” | https://www.ctinsider.com/news/article/German-court-rejects-suit-over-gender-sensitive-17338193.php | 2022-07-29T17:03:57Z | https://www.ctinsider.com/news/article/German-court-rejects-suit-over-gender-sensitive-17338193.php | true | 17 |

CHILE intend to launch an appeal against the decision of world football ruling body FIFA to dismiss their previous complaint regarding Ecuador’s participation at the World Cup.
Nine-time tournament finalists Chile asked FIFA to investigate allegations that Ecuador used ineligible right-back Byron Castillo in their successful qualifying campaign.
The Federacion de Futbol de Chile (ANPF) said it had proof that Castillo was born in Colombia and not Ecuador, as stated on his official documents.
Castillo appeared eight times in qualifying, including in a goalless draw with Chile in September and a 2-0 victory in November.
La Roja finished seventh, meaning they just missed out on a play-off spot, but felt Ecuador should be expelled from the World Cup at their expense.
However, after looking into the claims made by ANPF, FIFA rejected the appeal last month and confirmed Ecuador will keep their place in Qatar.
Chile are continuing to push their case, though, with their general secretary Jorge Yunge confirming that a fresh appeal will be lodged.
“We are completely sure about the conclusions of our investigations,” Yunge said in a statement.
“It’s absolutely clear the player uses an adulterated Ecuadorean document. What is at stake here is not just a place in the 2022 World Cup, but the entire principle of fair play.”
Ecuador have been drawn in Group A at the World Cup, which begins in November, alongside Senegal, the Netherlands and hosts Qatar.(dpa/NAN)

Separation of Nagorno-Karabakh issue from Armenia-Azerbaijan relations should be actively discussed – Armen Gevorgyan
19:03, 29 July 2022
YEREVAN, JULY 29, ARMENPRESS. The Karabakh issue is not a territorial issue for Armenia. In that sense, the security and rights of Karabakh Armenians are fundamental to us. In one of his speeches in the National Assembly, Prime Minister Pashinyan mentioned that there is an idea to separate the Nagorno-Karabakh issue from Armenia-Azerbaijan relations. We must now actively discuss that option and decide how to proceed, Secretary of the Security Council of Armenia Armen Gevorgyan said in an interview with ARMENPRESS.
- Mr. Grigoryan, geopolitical centers have recently been making assessments that there is a serious possibility of normalizing Armenia-Azerbaijan relations and thus establishing long-term peace and stability in the region. Does the government of Armenia see such an opportunity?
- The fact that the Armenian government has declared the peace agenda as a state strategy and policy is a direct evidence that we see such an opportunity. That possibility becomes even more grounded when we consider that the Armenian government, the political majority, is taking responsibility for the implementation of the peace agenda, realizing that it is not an easy way. I think the commitment of the Armenian government and the political majority to the peace agenda is an important factor for the assessments coming from different international platforms.
- What is the road map you see for the implementation of the peace agenda?
- That agenda is known. border delimitation and border security level raising works with Azerbaijan, which has already started, and the second session of the border delimitation and security commission is scheduled in Moscow in the second half of August, opening of regional communications...
- Azerbaijan claims that Armenia is delaying the solution of these issues.
- The session of the delimitation and border security commission was scheduled for the second half of August at the proposal of the Azerbaijani side. The Armenian side was ready for the second meeting in June and July. We have repeatedly expressed our willingness to open regional communications. Recently, the package of proposals we conveyed through diplomatic channels in December 2021 appeared on the internet, which is still valid today. We have made several other proposals and are very interested in the opening of regional communications, which is part of the "Armenian Crossroads" project. Of course, the issue of the specific route of the east-west section of the project can be discussed, we have never emphasized the possibility of only one option, and we need to find the most efficient route, because the functionality and attractiveness of the "Armenian Crossroads" project depends on it. We notice some progress in the trilateral working group on the issue of communications, which is co-chaired by the deputy prime ministers of Russia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, and we are ready to continue in the same spirit.
- Does establishing peace with Azerbaijan consist of these two steps? What will be the status of Karabakh?
- No, the culmination of the road map and peace agenda you mentioned is, of course, the signing of the peace treaty with Azerbaijan. You know that Azerbaijan presented five points in this regard and the Republic of Armenia stated that there is nothing unacceptable in them.
- Including the recognition of the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan? In other words, does Armenia recognize the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and has no territorial claims?
- Armenia recognizes the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan at least due to the fact that it is part of our legislation. We have said many times that Armenia and Azerbaijan have recognized each other's territorial integrity and inviolability of borders by the agreement on the formation of the CIS signed in 1991 and later ratified. And this is part of the legislation of both Armenia and Azerbaijan today. It should be expressed at the bilateral level as well. And as we said, there is nothing unacceptable for us in such a perspective, and Armenia, yes, has no territorial claims from Azerbaijan.
- And Karabakh, what will be the status of Karabakh?
- We have repeatedly said that the Karabakh issue is not a territorial issue for us. In that sense, the security and rights of Karabakh Armenians are fundamental for us. In one of his speeches in the National Assembly, Prime Minister Pashinyan mentioned that there is an idea to separate the Nagorno-Karabakh issue from Armenia-Azerbaijan relations. We must now actively discuss that option and decide how to proceed.
- In other words, to sign a peace treaty with Azerbaijan without a final solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh issue?
- There is also such an idea. But at this moment it is too early to talk about any such resolution.
- What security guarantees will there be for the Nagorno-Karabakh Armenians?
- There is an international guarantee for ensuring the security of NK Armenians, which is the presence of the peacekeeping troops of the Russian Federation. We need to work on the further improvement of that guarantee, but the demilitarization of the Nagorno-Karabakh problem is an important idea.
- Generally speaking, is Armenia ready to sign a peace treaty with Azerbaijan?
- Generally speaking, I think we're going in that way.
- And the return of the POWs, the clarification of the fate of the missing persons?
- The resolution of humanitarian issues is a necessary component of peace. Including issues of preservation of cultural heritage. All those questions, of course, need to be addressed. By the way, in the last two years, Armenia has transferred 130 bodies of Azerbaijanis missing since the first Karabakh war to Azerbaijan. We are ready to cooperate actively on this issue as well and we expect the same from Azerbaijan. The Armenian side has more than 770 missing persons since the first Karabakh war. The number of our missing persons in the 44-day war is 203.
- Yesterday, the Ministry of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure announced that the reconstruction of the Kornidzor-Tegh-M12 highway is planned to begin in August. Is that the new Lachine Corridor route? And when will the construction be finished?
- Yes. The construction will be completed within the time limit stipulated by the trilateral statement of November 9, 2020.
- How do you assess the prospects of Armenia-Turkey relations?
- The special representatives of the two countries have reached concrete agreements, that is, to open the border for citizens of third countries and to start air cargo transportation between the two countries. In a telephone conversation held on July 11, the Prime Minister of Armenia and the President of Turkey agreed to implement these agreements and take further steps. It is clear that we will remain committed to those agreements, especially given that both Russia, the USA, France, Iran, Georgia, and the EU support the process of normalization of Armenia-Turkey relations. | https://armenpress.am/eng/news/1089282/ | 2022-07-29T17:12:51Z | https://armenpress.am/eng/news/1089282/ | false | 2 |

Water also ripped through the parking garage of the LINQ Hotel, bringing along anything light enough for the water to carry.
The Planet Hollywood Casino also had some flooding after the rain created a huge hole in the ceiling.
Alexander Wolf, a resident of Las Vegas, told The New York Post that he saw “curtains” of rain when he had looked out his window.
“Lightning was nearly constant, and the power went out several times,” Wolf said.

“Electric surges set the fire alarms of several buildings off, causing fire responders to have to head out into the storm to respond to them.”
No injuries have been reported at this time, Las Vegas Fire Information Officer Tim Szymanski informed The Post.
The Post also reached out to Simon Jowitt, an economic geologist and professor at the University of Las Vegas.
He said that, although flash floods don't usually happen, monsoon season is from July to September, which residents do expect.
“We’ve got good drainage systems but sometimes the water just overloads them,” Jowitt said.
“It can also be dangerous for homeless people who sometimes live in the drainage systems for shelter.”
He continued: “The other thing is that we don’t often get rain so it’s hard to check whether roofs and the like are actually waterproof; probably what has happened in the casinos tonight."
The Sun reached out to Circa Resort and Casino, who refused to comment and Caesars Entertainment has not returned a comment to The Sun by the time of publication.
The news of the flooding in Las Vegas comes after the horrific flood in Kentucky on Thursday.

The Washington Nationals will host the St. Louis Cardinals Friday night. The Nationals fell to the Los Angeles Dodgers Wednesday, bringing their record to 34-66 on the year. The Cardinals are now 52-47 following their 6-1 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays Wednesday. Washington has been a very bad team at home, carrying just a 15-36 record as hosts this season, the worst mark in the MLB.
"#THATSAWINNER" - Cardinals
Anibal Sanchez will make his first start of the year on Friday. He's made two relief appearances, recording 10 innings, but hasn't had much success in a small sample size. The Cardinals rank ninth in both runs per game and OPS, so Sanchez will need to be on top of his game in the opener.
The Nats' righty had a 6.62 ERA last year in 11 starts, and it seems that the 38-year-old is not nearly as effective as he once was. Expect St. Louis to take advantage of this matchup on Wednesday.
Miles Mikolas will be starting Friday for the visitors. He is 7-8 with a 2.87 ERA in 20 starts this year. He'll be taking on a team that is ranked #26 in runs per game in the MLB.
"Miles Mikolas, Pretty Curveballs" - Rob Friedman
Last time out, Mikolas threw five frames, giving up seven hits and six earned runs. The right-hander had a rough outing on Sunday, but over his last six outings, he has a 3.44 ERA, so Cardinals fans shouldn't have to worry. Look for Mikolas to bounce back against a lineup that lacks depth.

Washington Nationals vs. St. Louis Cardinals Best Picks
Maikel Franco will be up against Miles Mikolas on Friday, and versus same-handed hurlers, he has had a tough time, sporting just a .625 OPS. Franco is batting just .219 since the beginning of last season against right-handers who mix in breaking pitches frequently. He also has just a .439 OPS in the last month, so expect him to stay cold on Friday.
Pick: Maikel Franco Over 0.5 Total Bases (+130)
Washington Nationals vs. St. Louis Cardinals Betting Prediction
The Nationals have really struggled at home this year, and Mikolas' stuff should be good enough to keep their lineup in check. Back the visitors to lead after five as they continue on in their road trip.
