JetBlue's Clayton Osbon: Landlady says 'He was an ace pilot'
He was so young when he started flying airplanes he put telephone books on the seat so he could see over the instrument panel.
By his own estimates, Clayton Osbon has logged more than 18,000 flying hours, all over the world.
Growing up in the Midwest, he dreamed of becoming an astronaut or a "Top Gun"-type fighter pilot. More recently, he spoke of his desire to become a motivational speaker.
By most accounts, Osbon, 49, was an easygoing, accomplished pilot -- until he suffered a midair meltdown Tuesday onboard JetBlue Flight 191, bound for Las Vegas from Kennedy Airport.
Locked out of the cockpit and ranting about al-Qaida and the "Lord's prayer," Osbon had to be subdued by passengers as the co-pilot made an emergency landing.
"He was always kind of happy-go-lucky. He was not a wacko," said a friend, Mary Lou Capace, who lives next door to the building in South Ozone Park, Queens, where Osbon rents an apartment for his New York stays.
"How does this happen?" said Wanda Serra, the owner of the building. "He was an ace pilot. It's unbelievable."
JetBlue chief executive Dave Barger told NBC's "Today" show Wednesday that Obson was a "consummate professional."
"I've known the captain personally for a long period of time," Barger said. "There's been no indication of this at all in the past."
Osbon, who lives in Richmond Hill, Ga., is a flight standards captain, meaning he teaches and evaluates standard operating procedures for a specific fleet. He joined JetBlue in 2000, shortly after the airline was created, a spokeswoman said.
Before then, he piloted a Gulfstream IV -- a luxurious business jet -- around the world, living in Portugal and France for several years, he said in a story published last year by a lifestyle magazine in his hometown.
"Gulfstream pilots are very proud to fly Gulfstreams," he told Richmond Hill Reflections. "If you're going to finish your career or get to the top of the ladder as a corporate pilot, Gulfstream would be one of those plateaus. You'd say to yourself, 'I've arrived.' "
Christine S. Lucas, who interviewed Osbon for the magazine, was stunned by Tuesday's incident.
"He seemed like a happy guy doing what he loves for a living. I find it terribly sad," she said.
Osbon, a Milwaukee native, studied aeronautical physics at Hawthorne College and Carnegie Mellon University. He told Lucas he started flying at the age of 6 or 7.
"I've been instrument flying since before I could see over the dashboard -- sitting on phone books eventually," he said in the interview.
The first plane he flew, he said, belonged to his father, an electrical engineer.
Osbon said he was once offered a slot in the "Top Gun" Officer Candidate School -- the Navy's prestigious training school for elite pilots -- but was disqualified because of a minor eye problem.
He went on to a career in commercial aviation that included flying the Gulfstream until he joined JetBlue and started piloting an Airbus 320.
He and his wife, Connye, who runs a massage therapy business, have lived in Richmond Hill near Savannah since 1997.
In his free time, Osbon flies his own L-4 Grasshopper -- a lightweight, single-propeller observation aircraft, he told the magazine.
He said he was thinking about how he could use the plane to benefit local charities, and expressed a desire to become a motivational speaker.
"It starts with a greater enhanced knowledge of one's being," he said. "You know, I'd like to think the world is more than just getting up in the morning, making a cup of coffee, going to work, coming home, kissing your wife goodnight and going to bed."
Steve Berg, owner of Berg Park Aerodrome in Midway, Ga. -- about a half-hour's drive from Richmond Hill -- said he has known Osbon for several years.
"I would describe him as the epitome of a professional pilot. My first thought when I heard it was, 'This can't be real,' and I wondered if some kind of terrorist guy slipped him a chemical that made him go bonkers," Berg said Wednesday.
Berg, who is in his 70s, is an aviation veteran who said he first soloed in 1956. He runs the Grass Strip Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to the preservation of aviation history and to recruitment of future pilots.
Osbon at one time flew an L-19, a late-1940s vintage aircraft, he said. Osbon had flown out of Berg's airfield but did not hangar his plane there.
"He's such a nice, calm, stable man that this is bizarre," Berg said.
The Cessna L-19, an aircraft used for observation known as the "Bird Dog," was an all-metal fixed-wing aircraft used by the U.S. Army after the Air Force became its own branch of the military.

HAMDEN — Kristen Avery was all anyone could talk about at Whitney Rehabilitation Care Center, Sarah Mach recalled.
Avery had become a workplace hero overnight after rescuing a man from a crashed, smoking vehicle.
“The next day all I heard was people talking about (the rescue),” said Mach, Whitney Rehab’s director of business development. “Whoever Kristen Avery was, she was amazing. ... I just wanted to meet her.”
Avery, 25, of New Haven is a certified nursing assistant, but she credited a public safety academy she participated in years ago, when she attended James Hillhouse High School in New Haven, with preparing her for intervening in the car crash that occurred July 5 in Hamden, right outside her job.
She was in a patient’s room when she looked out the window and saw a car crashing into a telephone pole on Whitney Avenue, she said.
Then Avery noticed the car was smoking - and the driver was still inside.
Avery sprang into action, yelling for someone to call 911 as she hurried down the stairs, she said, adding that she tripped “every two seconds” because of her platform shoes.
As she got to the scene, she summoned other bystanders to help get the driver out of the vehicle, she said.
“There was no way he was staying in that car while I was there. No way,” Avery said.
When her supervisor, Khalid Lamtaai, went outside, he said, he saw the driver on the ground by the car, Avery stabilizing his neck.
“I give her credit. She did a perfect job because she intervened immediately, she did what is supposed to be done,” Lamtaai said, adding that Avery was “basically doing an EMT’s job.”
Avery believes the driver may have had a seizure but does not know what happened to him after the crash. She never even got his name.
The New Haven Register was able to identify the man by obtaining the Hamden Police Department’s report on the crash. Multiple attempts to reach him were unsuccessful.
Like Avery, hospital staff who later treated the man told police he appeared to have had a seizure while driving, according to the report.
Avery hopes he recovered from the crash, she said.
She remembers how, after she pulled him from the vehicle, Avery sat and spoke to the man to prevent him from going into shock as they waited for first responders to arrive.
“I wanted to explain, like, ‘Hey, you’re OK now. Help is on the way,’” she said.
How to care for someone who has had a seizure and how to speak to the victim of a crash were two of the skills Avery said she learned as a New Haven high school student.
When she was a freshman at Hillhouse, Gary Tinney, then a fire lieutenant with the city, helped launch a Public Safety Academy. The program aimed to expose students to careers in law enforcement, firefighting, emergency medical services and other fields.
It was Tinney who inspired Avery to participate in the program, she said.
“That’s a phenomenal story,” Tinney said when he learned about Avery’s role in the July 5 rescue.
“You never know when you reach a kid in school,” he said. “You don’t realize what you’re going to say that makes a difference in their life.”
Getting the news was a boost for Tinney.
“I feel wonderful,” he said. “You talk about life’s work, and that’s what it’s all about.”
Tinney would like to launch a Public Safety Academy in Hamden, he said.
Meanwhile, the skills Avery put to use at the scene of the July 5 have earned her a reputation at work.
Her coworkers “called her a hero,” said Lamtaai. “They were proud of her as a Whitney Manor coworker. They were proud of her as a … health care worker.”
The chatter prompted Mach, who had not yet met Avery, to sit down with her.
“We’re really proud of her, everyone at Whitney. She’s sort of been put on this pedestal,” said Mach.
Through their conversation, Mach learned of Avery’s drive to help others - eventually, Avery wants to become a lawyer who helps underserved populations.
But first she might try firefighting. The July 5 crash sparked her interest in the field.
“I have the heart for it,” Avery said.

Tech giant Amazon has announced that its “Drive” cloud storage service is shutting down at the end of 2023.
The service launched in March 2011 as a “secure cloud storage service for Amazon customers to back up their files”.
Customers were given 5GB of free storage with apps for Android, iOS, and the web, 9To5Google reported.
The retailer is alerting users that have “files stored on Amazon Drive that are not supported by Amazon Photos”.
In an email to customers, Amazon clarified that it is not shutting down its Apple or Google Photos competitor, and that this Drive deprecation is meant to “more fully focus our efforts on photos and video storage with Amazon Photos”.
Stored pictures and videos should already be available in Amazon Photos, the report said.
On January 31, 2023, Amazon Drive will no longer support new uploads.
Starting December 31, 2023, users will no longer be able to view or download old content.

How will ‘oblivious’ Justin Timberlake handle return to Super Bowl halftime show?
Justin Timberlake thought he was being clever.
“Random question: Can someone please explain the saying, ‘You just want your cake and to eat it too’,” he tweeted a couple of weeks ago out of the blue. “What else am I about to do with a cake??”
One answer came in like a fastball to the head: “The saying means, for example, you can’t support #TimesUp and praise sexual predators at the same time,” replied Dylan Farrow, who has accused her father, Woody Allen — who Timberlake has praised after working with him in “Wonder Wheel” — of sexually assaulting her as a child. “You can’t retain your credibility as an activist (i.e. — retain the cake) and, at the same time, praise a sexual predator (i.e. — eating the cake).” (A monthslong investigation by child-abuse specialists at Yale-New Haven Hospital in the 1990s concluded there was no molestation, as did a separate investigation by New York State child welfare services.)
For those who think that escalated quickly, just wait until Timberlake’s Super Bowl LII halftime show on Sunday night. Bringing a flak jacket will be more important for him than bringing sexy back.
“He may well be our most oblivious living pop star,” writes Chris DeVille in Stereogum, reminding us of when Timberlake named his good-time single “Take Back the Night” without knowing that name belonged to an organization dedicated to stopping sexual violence.
However, if Timberlake, who doesn’t seem to understand how quickly and deeply the #MeToo movement is changing the world, doesn’t handle his return to music’s biggest showcase in front of 100 million or so people exactly right, “oblivious” will be a charitable description for him. After all, his Super Bowl appearance is the centerpiece of the rollout of his new “Man of the Woods” album and arena tour, raising the stakes even more, especially considering the lukewarm response to the album’s first two singles, “Filthy” and “Supplies.”
“What I really want to do is take the opportunity to put together a performance that feels like it unifies,” Timberlake said when his choice was announced by the NFL. “I feel like that would be the ultimate accomplishment. Then, the icing on the cake is, at some point within that 12 minutes, that everybody is shaking their booty.”
In recent interviews, Timberlake is careful to say that there will be no “wardrobe malfunction” this time — no chance of a repeat of the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show incident where he mistakenly ripped off too much of Janet Jackson’s costume and left her breast exposed. He even admits that he made mistakes in how he handled what became Nipplegate, which led the FCC to require networks to add a five-second delay into all live broadcasts.
“I stumbled through it, to be quite honest,” Timberlake told Beats One DJ Zane Lowe. “I had my wires crossed, and it’s just something that you have to look back on and go, like, ‘OK, well, you know, you can’t change what’s happened but you can move forward and learn from it.’ ”
However, as those who started the #JusticeForJanet movement on social media are quick to point out, why did Jackson take more of the blame for the incident than Timberlake? Why did her career suffer the bigger setback? And, more important, why was he invited to come back to the Super Bowl halftime show before her?
Yes, none of those questions are really Timberlake’s to answer. But he does have to know that they exist. One question that is appropriate for him, though, is more nebulous: Why would anyone choose to be the poster boy for double standards in the current political and cultural climate?
Of course, Timberlake has the right to accept the huge opportunity of headlining the halftime show. And yes, he should try to advance his career however he wants.
He is clearly showing his ambitions on the “Man of the Woods” album, which he says is inspired by his family and his hometown of Memphis. While his first single, “Filthy,” doesn’t quite seem to fit with the outdoorsy, rootsier theme he has laid out for the album, the third single, “Say Something,” which features Chris Stapleton certainly does.
Timberlake seems to want a new direction, with many saying that reunions with NSYNC and Jackson are unlikely during the halftime show.
In a video for Pepsi, which sponsors the halftime show, Timberlake explains his expectations for the event.
“I believe it’s also the place where there’s nothing wrong with giving people what they want,” he said. “It’s going to go by quick . . . For 12 or 13 minutes, we’re going to have a real good time.”
The bigger question, though, is will it be a good time after that?

One of the hazards of being a child star is that you end up growing up in public. For Justin Timberlake, that means he has already been through many career changes, even before his new “Man of the Woods” stage. Here’s a look:
POP INNOCENT
YEARS 1993 to 2000
Timberlake was part of the cast of Disney’s “The All New Mickey Mouse Club,” along with future girlfriend Britney Spears and future bandmate J.C. Chasez. Even when he left to pursue NSYNC with Chasez and the group broke records with its second album, “No Strings Attached,” his image was still squeaky clean.
TELLTALE HIT “God Must Have Spent a Little More Time On You”
YOUNG SOUL MAN
YEARS 2001 to 2004
With the release of “Celebrity” and Timberlake turning 20, he began to take more control of his career. When he went solo, he teamed with producer Timbaland to create an updated R&B sound and image to match. Until the Super Bowl wardrobe malfunction.
TELLTALE HIT “Cry Me a River”
ACTOR
YEARS 2004 to 2006
After the Super Bowl furor, Timberlake focused on his acting career, working on a string of movies, from “Alpha Dog” to “Shrek the Third.”
TELLTALE HIT “Shrek the Third”
GROWN POP SUPERSTAR
YEARS 2007 to 2017
When Timberlake returned from his musical hiatus with “SexyBack,” he established himself as one of music’s biggest stars, collaborating with everyone from Jay-Z to Madonna. His acting career also flourished, appearing in the Oscar-winning “The Social Network,” and, most recently, Woody Allen’s “Wonder Wheel.”

Not Pak Army chief’s job to reach out to US over IMF loan: Imran Khan on Gen Bajwa
All economic indicators, be it the industry, tax collection, exports or remittances, have gone down, he said while adding that the only way to bring back political stability was free and fair elections.The US has repeatedly dismissed Khans allegations.Those sitting in power are afraid of the elections, he said, recalling that when he was ousted from the office, he did nothing except for approaching the public.

Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Saturday criticised Army chief General Qamar Bajwa for seeking help from the US over a much-needed IMF bailout for the country, saying it is not the job of the head of the military to deal with economic matters and his intervention means the country is getting weaker.
Bajwa reached out to the US for the early disbursal of the nearly USD 1.2 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the official media reported on Friday, as the cash-strapped country faces the ignominy of a possible debt default due to its depleting foreign exchange reserves.
Bajwa spoke over the phone with the US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman earlier this week and also appealed to the White House and the US Treasury Department to push the IMF to immediately expedite the nearly USD 1.2 billion loan, state-run news agency Associated Press of Pakistan (APP) reported, quoting sources in the Pakistan Army. Commenting on the report, the ousted prime minister said it was not the Pakistan Army chief’s job to deal with economic matters. Khan said that this shows that neither the foreign governments nor the IMF trust the government and “that is why the army chief took the responsibility,” the Dawn newspaper reported.
“If the Army chief was contacting the US and seeking help, it means that the country was getting weaker,'' he said.
However, he added that the US’ help would not come without any reciprocal demands and added that he feared “those demands would compromise Pakistan’s national security”.
Linking the current economic crisis with political instability, Khan, the chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, said that when his government was toppled as a result of a conspiracy it led to political instability that tanked the economy.
Khan has alleged that Donald Lu, Assistant Secretary, Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs in the US Department of State was involved in the foreign conspiracy to topple his government.
“You have seen that everything has been downhill since then. [All economic indicators, be it the] industry, tax collection, exports or remittances, have gone down,” he said while adding that the only way to bring back political stability was free and fair elections.
The US has repeatedly dismissed Khan's allegations.
“Those sitting in power are afraid of the elections,” he said, recalling that when he was ousted from the office, he did nothing except for approaching the public.

Ivan More was the special guest of the podcast “Inteligência LTDA”. Among the topics discussed in the interview, his time at Rede Globo, which ended in 2019, ended up becoming the point that most caught the attention of those who were following the chat. That’s because, the journalist opened up the game and revealed behind-the-scenes details of everything that goes on in the newsrooms of the Marinho station.
Without mincing words, the former presenter of “Globe Sports” he said everything he thinks about some professionals who keep bossing around on the channel: “The dudes [gestores] in there, even today, they have an initiative of this size [mínima]. They are there to get bonuses and make a good living until they get fired, because in time that will come.”.
Ivan pointed out that some colleagues prefer to continue working on the channel because of the financial aspect, but he used words like “dissatisfied” to describe the feeling of some professionals: “My friends who are still inside earn a lot of money – because one or the other is relevant – but they are extremely unmotivated, dissatisfied. Why [dentro da emissora] there is no space for you to think, just [seguir a] primer”.
Finally, the journalist made a point of detailing every negative moment he passed while he was hired by the Marinho station: “If I mentioned the name of a social network on Globo Esporte, I would take a hook. The social network of photos was prohibited. You couldn’t speak your arroba [perfil] under no circumstances. Couldn’t show Apple cell phone. They told me: ‘you’re banned, you’re showing brand’”. | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/07/30/ivan-more-detonates-globo-and-reveals-about-friends-who-are-at-the-station-dissatisfied-tv/ | 2022-07-30T10:17:58Z | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/07/30/ivan-more-detonates-globo-and-reveals-about-friends-who-are-at-the-station-dissatisfied-tv/ | true | 1 |
ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE — Pope Francis acknowledged Saturday that he can no longer travel like he used to because of his strained knee ligaments, saying his weeklong Canadian pilgrimage was "a bit of a test" that showed he needs to slow down and one day possibly retire.
Speaking to reporters while traveling home from northern Nunavut, the 85-year-old Francis stressed that he hadn't thought about resigning but said "the door is open" and there was nothing wrong with a pope stepping down.
"It's not strange. It's not a catastrophe. You can change the pope," he said while sitting in an airplane wheelchair during a 45-minute news conference.
Francis said that while he hadn't considered resigning until now, he realizes he has to at least slow down.
"I think at my age and with these limitations, I have to save (my energy) to be able to serve the church, or on the contrary, think about the possibility of stepping aside," he said.
Francis was peppered with questions about the future of his pontificate following the first trip in which he used a wheelchair, walker and cane to get around, sharply limiting his program and ability to mingle with crowds.
He strained his right knee ligaments earlier this year, and continuing laser and magnetic therapy forced him to cancel a trip to Africa that was scheduled for the first week of July.
The Canada trip was difficult, and featured several moments when Francis was clearly in pain as he maneuvered getting up and down from chairs.
At the end of his six-day tour, he appeared in good spirits and energetic, despite a long day traveling to the edge of the Arctic on Friday to again apologize to Indigenous peoples for the injustices they suffered in Canada's church-run residential schools.
Francis ruled out having surgery on his knee, saying it would not necessarily help and noting "there are still traces" from the effects of having undergone more than six hours of anesthesia in July 2021 to remove 33 centimeters (13 inches) of his large intestine.
"I'll try to continue to do the trips and be close to people because I think it's a way of servicing, being close. But more than this, I can't say," he said Saturday.
In other comments aboard the papal plane, Francis:
— Agreed that the attempt to eliminate Indigenous culture in Canada through a church-run residential school system amounted to a cultural "genocide." Francis said he didn't use the term during his Canada trip because it didn't come to mind. Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission determined in 2015 that the forced removal of Indigenous children from their homes and placement in church-run residential schools to assimilate them into Christian, Canadian constituted a "cultural genocide."
"It's true I didn't use the word because it didn't come to mind, but I described genocide, no?" Francis said. "I apologized, I asked forgiveness for this work, which was genocide."
— Suggested he was not opposed to a development of Catholic doctrine on the use of contraception. Church teaching prohibits artificial contraception. Francis noted that a Vatican think tank recently published the acts of a congress where a modification to the church's absolute "no" was discussed. He stressed that doctrine can develop over time and that it was the job of theologians to pursue such developments, with the pope ultimately deciding.
Francis noted that church teaching on atomic weapons was modified during his pontificate to consider not only the use but the mere possession of atomic weapons as immoral and to consider the death penalty immoral in all cases.
— Confirmed he hoped to travel to Kazakhstan in mid-September for an interfaith conference where he might meet with Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill, who has justified the war in Ukraine. Francis also said he wants to go to Kyiv, Ukraine's capital, though no trip has yet been confirmed. He said he hoped to reschedule the trip to South Sudan he canceled because of his knee problems. He said the Congo leg of that trip would probably have to be put off until next year because of the rainy season.

Apple is launching a new suite of accessibility features in the soon-to-be-unveiled iOS 16, and (finally) adding a Live Captions feature for all audio content across devices.
The new option lets users easily turn on automatic captioning in their Settings menu, which will apply to any audio played within the device, from phone calls, to FaceTime sessions, to videos. The captions appear at the top of the screen while audio is playing in real time, and users can also customize the captions' font size to better accommodate their needs.
It's a great addition to the multitude of accessibility features on Apple devices, which include customizable adjustments across vision, mobility, and even cognitive needs. But the company trails behind other brands and devices who already offer accessible captioning directly in-device, including the caption and real-time text-to-speech capabilities of Google Pixel phones announced earlier this year.
In its iOS 16 accessibility preview, Apple described the new Live Captions hearing feature as a tool for the deaf and hard of hearing community to better navigate their devices, calls, video conferencing and social media apps with device-only, live generation of text designed to protect the privacy and safety of the speakers' conversations.
The best part — for both deaf users and active iPhone users trying to stay connected to a multitude of social connections — is that the captions account for multiple speakers and sounds. Devices will automatically detect and attribute different speech to each person on the call, using your friends' already-saved contact information.
The Live Captions aren't just restricted to iPhone users either, but can be turned on in the Settings menus of iPad and Mac devices. For Mac users, the update also includes a live text-to-speech feature for calls, similar to the Google Pixel update, where users can type a response and have it spoken aloud to others on the call.
How Live Captions work
While in an audio or video call, or watching a video on your device, Live Captions will automatically appear at the top of your screen in a separate pop up window, similar to a push notification. For calls, Facetime sessions, or conference meetings, speakers' names are determined by the contact information you have saved already, including contact images and first names.
For videos, Live Captions don't include the same audio descriptions as general closed captioning, only transcribing live speaker voices rather than all sounds playing on screen.
If you're an iPhone user interested in the new Live Captions, here's how to make sure the feature is turned on and customized to your liking:
Go to "Settings" and select the "Accessibility" menu
Find all Apple Accessibility settings in your iPhone's Settings menu.
Scroll to the section labeled "Hearing" and select "Live Captions"
You'll probably also see a selection for Closed Captioning settings (different from Live Captions) which control how already-generated captioning services appear on your devices.
Turn on captions system-wide or in-app
To turn on Live Captions across your entire device, toggle the top button to the "On" position. For calling apps, such as FaceTime, you can manually select which app allows Live Captions. Note that turning these on will alert the people you are speaking with that their audio is being transcribed to text.
Adjust to your liking using "Appearance"
You can also adjust the way Live Captions appear on your device by using the Appearance settings. In this menu, you'll find customization tools for font size, font color, and the background color of caption text windows.
The new feature is only available in English, for now, and is accessible on iPhone 11 models and up, iPad with A12 Bionic and later, and Mac with Apple Silicon. | https://mashable.com/article/apple-ios-live-captions | 2022-07-30T10:30:17Z | https://mashable.com/article/apple-ios-live-captions | false | 1 |

The Department of Housing has finally released details of new nitrates rules for tillage, which do not require land going into winter cereals before 31 October to be cultivated after harvest.
The update was approved by Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage Darragh O’Brien TD and Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine Charlie McConalogue TD on Friday.
The new rules are effective from Thursday 28 July.
The Department has stated that: "Shallow cultivation/sowing of a crop post-harvest is now only required in counties Carlow, Cork, Dublin, Kildare, Kilkenny, Laois, Louth, Meath, Offaly, Tipperary, Waterford, Westmeath, Wexford and Wicklow.
"Where shallow cultivation is required, a minimum of 20% and a maximum of 25% of cereal land on each holding must not be subject to shallow cultivation to preserve food sources for farmland birds."
Further research
Further research will be carried out on the effect of the measures on bird species ahead of the 2023 interim review of the nitrates action programme.
The seven-day cultivation requirement has been extended to 10 days post-chopping of straw or baling.
However, the requirements still state cultivation must take place within 14 days of harvest (apart from where weather dictates that the requirements should not apply).
Soil consolidation will be allowed as an alternative to shallow cultivation where problem grass weeds such as bromes or blackgrass are a problem under limited circumstances.
Shallow cultivation is not required in the following cases:
Reaction
Kieran McEvoy of the Irish Farmers’ Association broadly welcomed the announcement and was glad that “common sense prevailed and the Department listened to the concerns in relation to counties in the west of Ireland where the stubble cultivation rules would not be workable”.
He added that allowing 25% of land to remain uncultivated and having an allowance for grass weed problems made the rules more practical.
BirdWatch Ireland stated it is “extremely disappointed that Minister O’Brien didn’t listen to the science on the importance of winter stubble for farmland birds and didn’t wait for the research to mitigate the impacts of his proposed Nitrates Action Programme change to require green cover on 75-80% of stubble lands.”
“Policy changes and legislative decisions should be evidence based. This will come as a significant cost to birds like Annex 1 Hen Harrier and Golden plover, Yellowhammer and the 26 other species that are known to rely on stubbles for food in hungry winter months. Farmland birds are the group of birds that are worsening fastest in Ireland,” the statement continued.
Bobby Miller of the Irish Grain Growers Group stated: “While not every grower will be satisfied with the outcome it is a far more practical solution than the initial proposals in our view. We welcome the announcement from the Housing Minister Darragh O'Brien to alleviate the uncertainty amongst tillage farmers about the regulations.” | https://www.farmersjournal.ie/stubble-cultivation-rules-clarified-713186/ | 2022-07-30T10:43:46Z | https://www.farmersjournal.ie/stubble-cultivation-rules-clarified-713186/ | true | 1 |
British businesses turning away from China, industry group says
Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com
LONDON, July 30 (Reuters) - British businesses are cutting ties with China due to concerns about political tensions, a shift that is likely to stoke inflationary pressures, the head of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) said in an interview published on Saturday.
"Every company that I speak to at the moment is engaged in rethinking their supply chains ... because they anticipate that our politicians will inevitably accelerate towards a decoupled world from China," CBI Director-General Tony Danker was quoted as telling the Financial Times newspaper.
China was Britain's biggest source of imported goods in 2021, accounting for 13% of the total, while it was the sixth-largest destination for goods exports, according to Britain's official trade statistics.

However, British security concerns have risen in recent years, fuelled by disagreements with China over Hong Kong and other issues. Last week, the head of Britain's foreign intelligence service, Richard Moore, said China was now his top priority, ahead of counter-terrorism work. read more
Britain has also increasingly blocked Chinese takeovers of companies on national security grounds. read more
Both the remaining candidates in the Conservative Party leadership contest - Foreign Secretary Liz Truss and former finance minister Rishi Sunak - have said they intend to take a tougher line on China. read more
Danker said growing U.S. concern about China had also made British companies more wary about being dependent on Chinese suppliers, and that going elsewhere was would be "more expensive and thus inflationary".
"It doesn't take a genius to think cheap goods and cheaper goods may be a thing of the past," he added.
British inflation hit a 40-year high of 9.4% last month, partly because of the surge in energy prices caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

‘Training Day’ review: Stuffed with violence, but leads are appealing
THE SERIES “Training Day”
WHEN | WHERE Premieres Thursday night at 10 on CBS/2
GRADE C+
WHAT IT’S ABOUT Det. Frank Rourke (Bill Paxton) is the maverick head of the Special Investigation Section of the LAPD — so maverick he’s assigned a new wing man, Det. Kyle Craig (Justin Cornwell), to keep an eye on him, then report what he sees back to HQ. The Jerry Bruckheimer series is based on the 2001 hit with Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke.
MY SAY Thursday’s pilot is a two-by-four upside the head, a knee to the groin, a punch in the mouth, a stick in the eye. It’s an assault on the brain, the ears, the eyes, the soul.
You know — your basic Jerry Bruckheimer hit-in-the-making.
Besides, there is something undeniably irresistible about Paxton — with those pale blue eyes, tousled hair and day-old growth — snarling lines like, “You’re not pushing a patrol car anymore, Dorothy.” Even his co-star Cornwell looks startled, as if thinking, “Did Bill Paxton just call me Dorothy?”
But if you do get past the soul-crushing, unintentionally hilarious opener, “Training Day” settles down to become a not-as-ghastly-as-initially-feared cop procedural. Plus, there’s the pair of leads who may not have a lot of chemistry but do have considerable screen presence. As a TV newcomer, Cornwell has the most to prove, and as a show-biz veteran, Paxton has the most to lose. After three episodes, let’s call this a tossup for now: At least both do get better and become more grounded in the weeks ahead.
Is this reboot even vaguely reminiscent of the 2001 movie? The violence is all here — and how — but it’s all so heavily stocked with formulaic gumbo that the movie literally sinks into the soup, then disappears altogether. Frank is less Alonzo Harris (Washington’s character in the movie) than he is Rooster Cogburn of “True Grit,” or — better yet — “Dirty” Harry Callahan, who just wants someone to make his day. Invariably, someone does.
BOTTOM LINE Bruckheimer assembly-line sausage stuffed with plenty of hooey and violence — but the leads are plenty appealing. | https://www.newsday.com/entertainment/tv/training-day-review-stuffed-with-violence-but-leads-are-appealing-e22238 | 2022-07-30T10:58:36Z | https://www.newsday.com/entertainment/tv/training-day-review-stuffed-with-violence-but-leads-are-appealing-e22238 | false | 1 |
On 23 June 2018, 12 members of a Thai junior football team and their coach became trapped deep in the Tham Luang Nang Non cave system by rising flood water. And if you don’t know what happened next, you must have been living in your own personal cave during the 18-day search-and-rescue operation. But despite the fact that we all know the outcome, and that it’s the third film in as many years to tell the story, Ron Howard’s account of the drama is compulsively watchable and breathlessly tense.
This version of the events, which stars Viggo Mortensen as laconic British cave diver Rick Stanton and Colin Farrell as his biscuit-hoarding fellow expert John Volanthen, follows the Bafta-nominated 2021 documentary The Rescue. But while both films are essentially telling the same story, there’s a marked difference in tone. Thirteen Lives is sober, efficient and even-handed, where The Rescue has a tendency towards strident scoring and emotional engineering.
Howard’s skilful, unshowy handling of events belies just how complex an undertaking this is as a piece of storytelling. The cave divers are key figures, but the film also follows the contribution of Thai groundwater specialist Thanet Natisri (Nophand Boonyai). It weaves in the Thai navy Seals, the children’s families, and touches on the political backdrop. The rescue, Thirteen Lives stresses, was a team effort; and likewise this thrilling piece of film-making. Plaudits are due to cinematographer Sayombhu Mukdeeprom and to the entire sound department for crushing the very air out of the cinema with an unbearably claustrophobic array of sub-aqua sound design. | https://www.theguardian.com/film/2022/jul/30/thirteen-lives-review-ron-howard-thailand-cave-rescue | 2022-07-30T11:05:28Z | https://www.theguardian.com/film/2022/jul/30/thirteen-lives-review-ron-howard-thailand-cave-rescue | false | 2 |

State commission says judge should be disbarred for lying about her son's child abuse
A Wayne County judge who ran for office as an advocate for children should be removed from the bench because she used makeup to hide injuries inflicted on her grandchildren by her abusive son and then repeatedly denied to state investigators that she knew of the abuse, according to an official state report this week.
The report by the Michigan Judicial Tenure Commission, the state agency charged with disciplining judges for misconduct, ends with a unanimous recommendation to the Michigan Supreme Court that Wayne County Circuit Judge Tracy Green be removed from office. The state Supreme Court has the final say on whether to disbar a judge, although the justices generally side with a unanimous recommendation of the commission.
Green’s son, Gary Davis-Headd, was given a sentence in 2019 of four to 10 years in prison for each of two counts of second-degree child abuse, to be served concurrently, after Davis-Headd was convicted of beating his two sons. He was given the sentence before a courtroom audience that included his mother, who was elected in 2018 to a six-year term on the Wayne County bench.
Green has steadfastly denied knowing of the abuse even when she was placed under oath, the report said. Green’s attorney in the investigation, Michael Ashcraft Jr. of Bloomfield Hills-based Plunkett Cooney, said Friday in a statement: “Everything that Judge Green would like to say about this matter is in her filings and the hearing videos, which she hopes the public will read and watch. All of that information is posted on the Michigan Judicial Tenure Commission’s website.”
The address of the website is: http://jtc.courts.mi.gov/the_commission/index.php
The commission's lengthy investigation included 12 public hearing days held in 2021. According to this week’s report, Green’s misconduct “included concealing evidence of her son’s abuse of her grandsons and then lying about it in a multitude of forums and to a host of people," in some cases while under oath as a judge.
“Especially with her background as a family law attorney advocating for minors, she was far too involved and present in her son’s and grandchildren’s lives to credibly claim ignorance of what was going on, especially since her grandsons’ much more credible testimony was that they repeatedly told her about the abuse and showed her evidence of it in the form of their bruises and other bodily marks,” the report says. Early on as a judge, Green presided over family court but she was moved to a criminal docket after the case against her son arose.
In some beatings, Green’s son used a belt to “whoop” his children, the report states.
The report says that workers from Child Protective Services visited the home of Green’s son at least four times in 2015-18 to check into suspected child abuse, until her grandsons were removed from the home by police in June 2018. Green’s behavior and statements to investigators “placed her grandsons in peril,” the commission’s report said.
At one point in the report, it lists eight written statements Green made in November 2019 to the commission’s questions, all of which the investigators deemed to be false. Green’s son was also abusing his wife. The commission’s investigation determined that between July 2014 and June 2018, the judge “was aware that on multiple occasions her son had been abusive to his then-wife, Katy Davis-Headd, by slapping her and choking her,” according to the commission’s formal complaint issued in November 2020.
Summarizing its report this week, the commission’s recommendation ended by saying that Green’s misconduct “is comparable to, or worse than, the misconduct that caused the Supreme Court to remove other judges.”

NAIROBI, Kenya, Jul 30 – Shujaa narrowly lost 7-5 to Australia in their final Group D match at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham on Saturday to dent their hopes of finishing top of Group D as they came second to book a quarter final date against defending champions, New Zealand’s All Blacks.
The All Blacks finished top of Group A after seeing off hosts England 20-0 in their final group stage match, with the latter missing out on the Cup quarters after finishing third in the group.
Alvin Otieno scored Kenya’s lone try in the opening half while Australia responded in the second via a converted try that earned them a slim victory.
Shujaa had chances to win the game after the buzzer, but they could not take advantage of their opportunity as Australia turned over possession with a penalty and kicked out to finish top of the group.
Otieno extended his left arm over the try line in the first half as Shujaa took advantage of Australia’s numerical handicap.
Mark Nawaqanitawase was sin binned for a lifting tackle and Shujaa elected to go for the scrum, some patient build up seeing Otieno find space on the left to dot down. Tony Omondi couldn’t convert.
Shujaa found themselves a man down when Bush Mwale was sin-binned for a high tackle, but they managed to hold on the two minutes to go to the break with a 5-0 advantage.
In the second half though, Shujaa had an early advantage when Nathan Lawson was red carded for a tackle in the air off the restart. But they just but managed to hold on with a slim 5-0 trail.
They found their chance when three minutes to the end of the tie, Corey Toole side stepped to earn himself space and sneak into the try box, Dietrich Roache adding the twos as the Aussies went into the lead.
Shujaa’s late pressure couldn’t bear fruit as they endured their first loss in Birmingham. | https://www.capitalfm.co.ke/sports/2022/07/30/commonwealth-games-shujaa-lose-to-australia-book-all-blacks-in-cup-quarters/ | 2022-07-30T11:12:24Z | https://www.capitalfm.co.ke/sports/2022/07/30/commonwealth-games-shujaa-lose-to-australia-book-all-blacks-in-cup-quarters/ | true | 1 |
Two journalists and two lawyers were also attacked by soldiers in the crackdown
Millions of men, women and children continue to wait patiently, as the miles-long fuel queues in Sri Lanka claimed another life Friday night.
The 71-year-old man from Pusellawa, some 140 kilometres from the capital Colombo, died of a heart attack on Friday night after standing in queue for more than two days.
The death does not come as a shock to anyone anymore.
In the past three months alone, 17 men between the ages of 29 to 84 have died waiting for fuel. Most were old and died of a heart attack. Some snapped and got into fights after days of patience. Recently, a man who jumped the line to get fuel to take his wife, who was in labour, to the hospital, was killed when frustrated people waiting days turned on him.
“My wife is constantly afraid I might not come back home,” said Ramesh Kaluthunga, a 76-year-old retired government servant with diabetes and a heart condition. “A week ago, I had to wait in the queue for five days. It’s not easy for an old man like me.”
This week, Energy Minister Kanchana Wijesekera said fuel distribution would be restricted for 12 months because of a severe shortage of foreign exchange.
The news hit home hard.
“How can we survive 12 more months of this?” asked Kamini Abeysekera, a single mother of a 12-year-old. She already holds two jobs as an Uber driver and part-time carer for elderly women.
“My husband is dead, I need to feed and send my child to school, and I need petrol for my work, which mostly involves driving old people around. Now, I just spend days in queues, and the petrol I get is not enough even for two days.”
The government began a trial fuel rationing system of a weekly fuel allocation per vehicle this week. The system will go national on Sunday. But users say it is not enough, leading to black market sales.
“There’s no choice. We need to live. First, it was Covid and now no petrol. We can’t let out children starve, so the trishaw drivers have resorted to this,” a black-market dealer told The Telegraph.
A litre of petrol that costs Dh5.59 is sold at almost Dh31.30 in the black, fetching trishaw drivers willing to spend time in queues around Dh7.55 profit per day.
“I don’t think we’re doing anything wrong. There are people who can’t afford to stay in queues, and are willing to pay us. We are doing them a service.”
Queues wind down main roads and private lanes up to four miles (over 6km) with men, women and children pushing their vehicles forward in the sweltering heat. Little communities forming in fuel queues have become a common sight in the cash-strapped island nation facing the worst economic crisis in history.
Schools that reopened after a month are reporting less than 60 per cent attendance in the cities.
“Schools reopening has just added more stress in our home,” said Jeya Pillai, a housewife. “My husband doesn’t even have diesel to go to work, and now the children want to go to school, but we can’t send them, because we can’t afford trishaw fares or school van services now.”
The drivers of three-wheeled trishaws, the commonest mode of transport on the island, have hiked their fares by over 600 per cent. A journey that cost less than a sterling pound, now costs GBP 7.
“The fares go up every day. We can’t plan anymore,” said Rizwana Cader, a teacher who is six months pregnant. She has spent more than 75 per cent of her earnings on trishaw rides this month.
“I can’t take the bus because it is so overcrowded. A forty-seater is carrying almost a hundred people now. I can’t risk it,” she said.
Many others are spending most of their earnings on travel.
“I spend half my salary travelling to work in trishaws now because I can’t work from home due to the constant power cuts,” said Niranjan Perumal, an IT specialist who repatriated to Sri Lanka recently from the UK.
“The buses are overcrowded and there’s no train service from where I live. I’m looking to migrate back.”
Doctors said the health sector is on the verge of collapse due to the fuel crisis. As Covid and dengue wards reopen in hospitals, doctors and minor staff are unable to report to work.
“The lack of fuel is our biggest problem now,” said Dr Kumara Wickremesinghe, the deputy director of the state-run National Hospital. “More patients are coming in now, and doctors and other staff don’t have fuel to travel, so they are taking longer shifts. We are understaffed and doctors are exhausted.”
ALSO READ:
Although there is no fuel quota for the healthcare sector, the government has provided consultant specialists letters of priority. But doctors said the queues “don’t work that way.”
“People get violent when they learn we don’t have to wait in line. What they don’t understand is that when a doctor stays in a queue for three days, we lose patients,” said a cardiologist, who wished to remain anonymous.
“I have already lost a patient staying in a petrol queue. It’s really time the government cleaned up this mess.”

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has said that he stopped at a campaign fundraiser following the deadly school shooting in Uvalde and “let people know” he could not stay, but a newspaper reports that he was there for nearly three hours.
The Dallas Morning News reported on Thursday that campaign finance reports and flight-tracking records showed Mr Abbott arrived in Huntsville at 4.52pm on May 24 — hours after the shooting at Robb Elementary School — and then was driven about 2 miles to a local supporter’s house. He did not leave the city till 7.47pm.
An 18-year-old shooter entered the school at 11.33am that day but it was not till 12.50pm that law enforcement breached the classroom where he was holed up and killed him. Texas Department of Public Safety director colonel Steve McCraw has called law enforcement’s slow and chaotic response to the shooting an “abject failure”.
Mr McCraw has said that three minutes after the gunman entered the school, enough officers and firepower had been deployed to stop him. Nineteen students and two teachers were killed in the attack.
When Mr Abbott was asked at a news conference in Uvalde the day after the shooting why he had not canceled the fundraiser, he noted that he had been in Abilene when he learned of the attack.
“On the way back to Austin, I stopped and let people know that I could not stay, that I needed to go,” Mr Abbott said.
“And I wanted them to know what happened and get back to Austin so that I could continue my collaboration with Texas law enforcement to make sure that all the needs were being met here in the Uvalde area.”
Abilene, where Mr Abbott had given a news conference about wildfires, is about 220 miles north-west of Austin, while Huntsville is about 150 miles east of the state capital.
The governor’s campaign spokeswoman, Renae Eze, told the newspaper Mr Abbott had been forthright about his movements that day. She saidhroughout the afternoon and evening of May 24, Mr Abbott spoke with President Joe Biden, US Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, law enforcement and staff.
“The day after the tragedy, the governor traveled to Uvalde and met with law enforcement and local officials,” she said. “The governor’s description of his movements that day are accurate.”
The day after the shooting, Mr Abbott praised what he said was a swift response by law enforcement officers who “showed amazing courage by running toward gunfire”. He later said that he had been “misled” and was “livid” about it.
According to a campaign finance report, Mr Abbott may have raised as much as 50,000 dollars (£41,070) at the Huntsville fundraiser, the newspaper said.

Team captain Joey Holden lifts the Liam MacCarthy Cup after Kilkenny’s win over Galway. Picture: John McIlwaine
2015 ALL-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship Final- Kilkenny 1-22 Galway 1-18
A squad that had shed a pile of golden performers after last year’s MacCarthy Cup success returned to Croke Park on Sunday and, after a gripping final that touched on the extraordinary in terms of physicality and ferocity, they made off with the silverware again.
“That was one of the hardest wins ever,” admitted Kilkenny hurling manager Brian Cody, who is not one to ever overstate a case.
“Serious questions were asked of us this season because of all the retirements last year,” he said. “That didn’t concern me too much. I respect the players who retired. They were excellent.
“They made an excellent contribution to Kilkenny, but that is the nature of sport. People come and go. This thing in Kilkenny is never about individuals, or people coming or going into the panel. No one, two, three, four or five players, manager or any individual dictate what Kilkenny hurling does.
“The relentless spirit in the team, the drive and determination came through,” he added. “Our thinking was that ‘there is more in it and we’re going to find more’.
Physically strong, brilliantly conditioned and good hurling Galway threatened to derail Kilkenny’s drive for All-Ireland win 36 during a magnificent opening half, at the end of which they were less than flattered to be leaders by 0-14 to 1-8.
But the Cats opened their broad shoulders after the turn and outshone the opposition, bettering them in every facet they had excelled in beforehand, to gallop away to a magnificent win that didn’t, in the end, flatter them.
It was some turnaround of fortune and performance during the second half as Kilkenny outran, outworked and outscored the opposition by a stunning 0-14 to 1-4.
And the divide at the finish would have been more were it not for the fact that Galway had the last score, a goal from a retaken Joe Canning free, with 70 minutes and 57 seconds on the clock.
Kilkenny now extend their considerable lead at the top of the roll of honour - Cork are second with 30 titles; Tipperary third with 26 - as Brian Cody’s reign as boss continues to produce golden performances and victories.
This was Cody’s 11th All-Ireland win as manager, which is supplemented by 15 in Leinster and eight in the National League. Phenomenal going by any measure.
People might look at the hurling landscape and wonder how Kilkenny continue to do it and when will/might they slip up? Tipp twisted them every which way they could last season, but lost.
Galway were wired for the effort. They had an ideal run into the final, shooting big scores and upping their game in the quarter and semi-finals.
The Tribesmen kicked on and brought their best game to a packed Croker, but while the discommoded the Cats in a serious way during the first half, they just couldn’t break nor defeat them. Just as in the Leinster final in July, defeat was their lot again.
People beyond our borders must be looking in and wondering - wondering how it’s done and how they can halt the black and amber train. It won’t be easy, because the reshaping of the squad and team has lowered the age profile and lightened the collective miles on the clock.
Galway did a Kilkenny on Kilkenny, smothering them on every ball at every point of contact throughout the field during the first half. But when Kilkenny did a Kilkenny on Galway after the break, the challengers simply couldn’t cope.
They didn’t crumble, but they were slowly put to the sword with Shamrocks pair Michael Fennelly and TJ Reid and Padraig Walsh and Conor Fogarty in particular scaling incredible heights of performance as the battle — and it was a battle — waged. Fennelly was the Hercules of the piece, doing the heavy lifting of spirit and team as he drove into and through tackles to win ball after ball to inspire all around him. He was mighty!
Reid was brilliant on the kill, converting every chance that came his way, including a couple of frees while having to listen to the ’Galway, Galway’ chant roaring in the background. Padraig Walsh hurled an ocean of ball during this period as he turned his wing into a virtual cul-de-sac. Fogarty took tenacity to another level, charging into tackles with shoulder aimed to drive opponents back. He did. Often.
The Cats eventually took over the lead in the 47th minute when TJ Reid converted a 65 that had been hard won by Colin Fennelly, and they powered all the way home from there.
Their best position was attained in the 69th minute when another massive performer, Walter Walsh, cracked over Kilkenny’s last score at the Canal End after an assist from sub John Power, to leave the divide at a hefty 1-22 to 0-18. Canning’s late goal from a free that was retaken for who knows what was no more than a simple dressing in the wind up.

Coleen Rooney does not want any compensation or retribution following the “Wagatha Christie” libel trial, according to her lawyer, who said she is “just glad that it’s over and that she can get on with her life”.
On Friday, Rebekah Vardy lost her libel case against Rooney after a scathing high court judgment described her as an “untrustworthy witness” who was likely to have purposely destroyed potentially vital evidence.
Vardy now faces a considerable legal bill, reported to be be around £3m, after Mrs Justice Steyn concluded that she probably worked with her agent to leak stories from Rooney’s private Instagram account to the Sun.
Rooney is reportedly in “advanced talks” about a documentary series about the trial with a potential deal with Netflix or Amazon Prime.
Rooney’s lawyer, Paul Lunt, said on Saturday that his client’s “sole aim” was to stop intrusion into her private life.
“Coleen hasn’t wanted this,” he told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme. “She didn’t want any of this to happen. She doesn’t want any compensation, retribution, she’s never wanted any of that, she just wanted the intrusion that she was seeing into her private life to stop and that was her sole aim and her sole focus.
“She has no remaining objective, certainly she doesn’t have any need for compensation or demands or any of that nature. She’s just glad that it’s over and that she can get on with her life.”
Lunt, head of litigation at law firm Brabners, said they tried to settle the case but that as a defendant Rooney, whose husband is former England footballer Wayne, had “very limited choices”.
“You can either defend, or you can capitulate,” he added. “And Coleen was not for capitulating, but we did make every effort to see if there was some middle ground that could be found and sadly we didn’t manage to succeed on that front.”
He claimed that according to court cost budgets, the reported £3m figure for legal costs was “a gross overestimate”.
“The figures there are a matter of record, £3m is a gross overestimate and doesn’t represent those figures. I can’t speak for what Mrs Rooney has spent on the case, I can only know what I know from my side of things.”
Sign up to First Edition, our free daily newsletter – every weekday morning at 7am BSTHe also said that Vardy, whose husband is Leicester City footballer Jamie, may face “certain consequential issues” after Sun journalists were sought to be brought into the claim. But that it would be “between the Sun and Mrs Vardy to resolve.”
Asked about reports of a Netflix special, Lunt said he has had many media approaches, adding: “If they’re all telling me the truth there are a lot of documentaries being made.” But he said he had “certainly not engaged with any of them and it would be news to me if Coleen has engaged with any of them.”
On Friday, Rooney welcomed her victory but said she “never believed it should have gone to court”.
It followed a three-year battle with Vardy after Rooney carried out a “sting” operation to find out who was leaking stories about her. After she posted the words “It’s ……… Rebekah Vardy’s account” on Instagram, she was sued for libel by Vardy, who denied passing information to the Sun. | https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/jul/30/coleen-rooney-rebekah-vardy-wagatha-christie-compensation | 2022-07-30T12:08:40Z | https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/jul/30/coleen-rooney-rebekah-vardy-wagatha-christie-compensation | true | 3 |

MADRID (Reuters) -Spain reported its second monkeypox-related death on Saturday, in what is thought to be Europe's second death from the disease and only the third outside of Africa in the current outbreak.
Spain had reported its first death as recently as Friday, shortly after Brazil reported the first monkeypox-related death outside the African continent in the current wave of the disease.
According to a World Health Organization report from July 22, only five deaths had been reported, all in the African region. The WHO last Saturday declared the rapidly spreading outbreak a global health emergency, its highest level of alert.
In its latest report on Saturday, the Spanish Health Ministry said 4,298 cases had been confirmed in the country. Of the 3,750 patients on which it had information, 120 or 3.2% had been hospitalised, and two had died, it said without providing further details.
The first death occurred in the northeastern Valencia region and the cause was encephalitis, an inflammation of the brain associated with the infection, local media reported, quoting the regional health department.

CAT is a national-level entrance exam conducted for admissions to postgraduate management programmes including at the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs). Some colleges and universities like Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) and Xavier Labour Relations Institute (XLRI) also consider CAT scores to admit students. Lakhs of students appear for CAT every year. CAT is held for a duration of three hours. The test comprises three sections -- verbal ability and reading comprehension; data interpretation and logical reasoning and quantitative aptitude.
The institutes announce their own cut-off marks to admit students. Several factors are considered by an institute before declaring their CAT cut-off. The difficulty level of question paper, total number of test-takers, availability of seats, past year cut-off trends are considered while declaring the cut-off marks.
CAT 2021 was conducted on November 28. A total of 2.30 lakh candidates had applied for the test and 85 per cent of them appeared for it. | https://www.ndtv.com/education/cat-2022-notification-details-on-iim-admission-application-process-exam-schedule-expected-tomorrow-key-points-here | 2022-07-30T12:19:49Z | https://www.ndtv.com/education/cat-2022-notification-details-on-iim-admission-application-process-exam-schedule-expected-tomorrow-key-points-here | true | 1 |
Crying for Uvalde
After a gunman killed 19 students and two teachers at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, Cameron Bure responded to followers who reprimanded her for not speaking out about the shooting. “I wanted — actually, I didn’t want to come on here, but I am because, you know, seeing what happened in our country — all of us process things differently, and some of us need more time to process it,” she said in a tearful Instagram video shared in May 2022. “Some of us are ready to scream and yell and shout from the rooftops. Some of us need to just feel more and figure out when we feel ready to share those feelings. I am a deep feeler, and I don’t always feel like social media is the place I want to run to first to share my heart, particularly when it’s grieving, and so that’s why I’ve been silent.”
She went on to say she doesn’t think it’s “right to jump to conclusions” when someone doesn’t post on social media following a major event. “I don’t believe silence or lack of posting is a representation of what someone is thinking, feeling or doing,” she explained. “The more and more I have this relationship with social media, there are things I love about it, but there’s a lot that I really am pulling away from and that is sharing certain things — particularly when it comes to tragedy, grief, politics, and a lot of social issues that our country disagrees on.”

My Chemical Romance have paid tribute to producer Doug McKean, who has died aged 54.
According to an obituary shared by the band, McKean passed away yesterday (July 29) from a brain haemorrhage.
In 2001, McKean moved to Los Angeles to work with producer Rob Cavallo, and went on to receive two Grammy Awards for his engineering work on Green Day’s ‘American Idiot’.
McKean also had a longstanding relationship with My Chemical Romance, engineering 2006’s ‘The Black Parade’ and its follow-up, 2010’s ‘Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys’.
He also engineered and produced Gerard Way’s solo album ‘Hesitant Alien’ (2014); Way later said that “there would be no album without Doug”. McKean went on to work with Way on a majority of the standalone solo singles that followed the release of ‘Hesitant Alien’.
His most recent work was on My Chemical Romance’s comeback single ‘The Foundations Of Decay’, with Way saying the pair had been working together throughout lockdown.
Paying tribute to McKean, My Chemical Romance wrote: “My Chemical Romance lost Doug McKean, a dear friend, a collaborator, a partner, a brother, a problem-solver, a genius, an integral part of our music. Doug was someone who made us laugh, made us better, understood, and always came to the rescue. He is deeply missed. He always will be.”
Taking to Twitter, one fan wrote: “Doug McKean engineered and produced the albums that changed my life and helped make the vision of some of the most celebrated artists of the last 20 years become reality. His impact won’t be forgotten.”
Another added: “R.I.P Doug McKean. Your work as an engineer and producer on my favourite albums was amazing and had a massive impact on my life. You will be missed.” | https://www.nme.com/news/music/my-chemical-romance-pay-tribute-to-producer-doug-mckean-who-has-died-aged-54-3280056 | 2022-07-30T12:33:27Z | https://www.nme.com/news/music/my-chemical-romance-pay-tribute-to-producer-doug-mckean-who-has-died-aged-54-3280056 | true | 3 |
Blitzboks through to the Commonwealth quarterfinals
The Springbok Sevens have qualified for the Commonwealth Games quarterfinals after they beat Tonga (36-5) and Malaysia (46-0) in their two Pool B games in Birmingham on Friday.
The SA men were in control for most of their two games on Friday and did exactly what was needed to progress to the knockout phase of the competition, scoring 14 tries in total on the opening day.
Their defensive systems were also tested, but the Blitzboks conceded only one try.
SA head coach Neil Powell said: “We had a slow start in the first game against Malaysia, and we asked the guys to make a step-up against Tonga, especially in terms of physicality, and I think they did that really well.
“Unfortunately, we conceded the one try, which was disappointing because we pride ourselves on our defence, but I think it was a massive step-up from the first game, and hopefully we can improve on that when we play Scotland tomorrow.
“The last time we played Scotland, we lost and hopefully we learnt something from that experience. For us to top our pool, we thought it was probably going to come down to this game, so we already had a look at them and hopefully the guys will be up for it tomorrow.”
In their first match against Tonga since 2019, SA had the perfect start, with team captain Siviwe Soyizwapi going over after just 21 seconds after a deft kick by Muller du Plessis. Christie Grobbelaar added two more first-half tries, while Tonga hit back with a five-pointer on the stroke of halftime to hand SA a 17-5 lead at the break.
JC Pretorius and Sako Makata added tries in the first three minutes of the second half to stretch SA’s lead to 29-5, but they then lost Mfundo Ndhlovu to a dangerous tackle by Tonga’s John Ika, who was red-carded.
After Ndhlovu was stretchered off the field, Dewald Human had the final say with a try, which he converted himself to seal the deal for SA.
“We would have loved to get Mfundo onto the park a bit more as he recently returned from a serious injury, but it looks like he took a bad shot to his jaw, and he will probably be out for the rest of the tournament, though we’ve not seen the final medical assessment yet,” added Powell.
Soyizwapi said: “We are happy with the results, but we will have to take a look at both games as we made a few errors and it wasn’t the clinical performance we were looking for. but it was a good day and we have something to build on with a lot of positives.”
Their final pool game is at 1.18pm on Saturday against Scotland.

Sinema indicates she may want to change Schumer-Manchin deal
Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) had a message for her Democratic colleagues before she flew home to Arizona for the weekend: She's preserving her options.
Why it matters: Sinema has leverage and she knows it. Any potential modification to the Democrat's climate and deficit reduction package — like knocking out the $14 billion provision on carried interest — could cause the fragile deal to collapse.
- Her posture is causing something between angst and fear in the Democratic caucus as senators wait for her to render a verdict on the secret deal announced by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. Joe Manchin last Thursday.
Driving the news: Sinema has given no assurances to colleagues that she’ll vote along party lines in the so-called “vote-a-rama” for the $740 billion bill next week, according to people familiar with the matter.
- The vote-a-rama process allows lawmakers to offer an unlimited number of amendments, as long as they are ruled germane by the Senate parliamentarian. Senators — and reporters — expect a late night.
- Republicans, steaming mad that Democrats have a chance to send a $280 billion China competition package and a massive climate and health care bill to President Biden, will use the vote-a-rama to force vulnerable Democrats to take politically difficult votes.
- They'll also attempt to kill the reconciliation package with poison pills — amendments that make it impossible for Schumer to find 50 votes for final passage.
The intrigue: Not only is Sinema indicating that she's open to letting Republicans modify the bill, she has given no guarantees she’ll support a final “wrap-around” amendment, which would restore the original Schumer-Manchin deal.
The big picture: Schumer made a calculated decision to negotiate a package with Manchin in secrecy. He assumed that all of his other members, including Sinema, would fall into line and support the deal.
- Now his caucus is digesting the specifics, with Sinema taking a printout of the 725-page bill back to Arizona on Friday for some dense in-flight reading.
- Schumer will find out this week if his gamble in keeping Sinema in the dark will pay off.
What we're watching: While Sinema supported the 15% minimum book tax back in December, which would raise more than $300 billion, Schumer never bothered to check if her position changed, given the darkening economic outlook.
- Schumer and Manchin also inserted the language on taxing carried interest as regular income, which would raise approximately $14 billion, knowing full well that Sinema never agreed to it. That move blindsided Sinema.
- Now the private equity industry, which has contributed heavily to Sinema, is hopeful that she'll knock the provision out.
The intrigue: While Schumer and Manchin have a well-documented and tumultuous relationship — replete with private fence-mending Italian dinners — Schumer and Sinema do not regularly engage.
Flashback: The Schumer-Sinema relationship took a big blow back in February when Schumer declined to endorse Sinema for her 2024 re-election when directly asked by CNN.
- She didn't attend her party's caucus meeting on Monday.
Between the lines: Sinema and Manchin always agreed that President Biden’s initial $3.5 billion Build Back Better plan needed to be trimmed down.
- They are also on the same page on the need to act on climate change.
- If Manchin has been primarily concerned with inflation, her guiding principles have always been economic growth and new jobs in Arizona.
The bottom line: Sinema isn't terribly pleased with how Schumer has foisted this package upon her. She reserves the right to modify it.
- But she also knows that a progressive challenger, like Rep. Rueben Gallego, is all but guaranteed in 2024 if she's held responsible for killing the Democrats best shot at a climate bill in years. | https://www.axios.com/2022/07/30/sinema-schumer-manchin-deal-democrats | 2022-07-30T12:37:40Z | https://www.axios.com/2022/07/30/sinema-schumer-manchin-deal-democrats | false | 2 |
The Senate, on Wednesday, resolved to summon the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, to educate and inform lawmakers in a closed session on the reasons for the rapid depreciation of the value of the Naira currency.
It also mandated the Senate Committee on Banking, Insurance and Other Financial Institutions to assess the impact of CBN intervention funds meant to support critical sectors of the economy.
The resolutions were reached by lawmakers after the upper chamber considered a motion sponsored by Senator Olubunmi Adetunmbi (APC, Ekiti North).
The motion was entitled, “State of CBN Intervention Funds and Free Fall Of Naira.”
Coming under Order 41 and 51 of the Senate Standing Order (as amended), Adetunmbi bemoaned Nigeria’s economic reality amid an urgent call for “extraordinary measures”.
He noted that the CBN through its numerous multi-sectoral intervention funds, provided special funds to support critical sectors of the economy.
He explained that in view of such interventions, it had become necessary to assess the state of implementation and effectiveness of the funds deployed for the purpose.
The lawmaker, recalled that the CBN in 2021, placed an indefinite halt on forex bidding by Bureau de Change operators (BDCS) and importers over allegations of abuse and mismanagement.
He observed that the halt by the CBN resulted in a spike of the exchange rate.
According to Adetunmbi, “the two instruments of Personal Travel Allowance (PTA) and Business Travel Allowance (BTA) could only serve less than 20% of the total forex demand by travelers and businesses.”
He expressed worry that the import and export window meant to serve the forex needs of business giants, “has become a rare opportunity that only a privileged few can access.”
“These and a number of others have contributed to the excessive scarcity of forex in Nigeria today,” he added.
He noted that as at the 26th of July 2022 (yesterday), the exchange rate in the autonomous segment (BDCS) of the foreign exchange market is N670 to 1 United States Dollar and projected to end at N1000 by end of the year based on the current rate of depreciation.
He, therefore, advised the Central Bank to take new measures to curb forex scarcity and address the sliding rate of Naira exchange.
In his contribution, Senator Sani Musa (APC – Niger East), faulted the Central Bank’s decision to halt foreign exchange biddings, thereby cutting off the parallel market – Bureau de change operators.
According to him, the attempt by the CBN to control the value of the naira with the continuous exclusion of BDCs would only lead to its further depreciation.
He, therefore, advised the apex bank to rather ensure the regulation and monitoring of the parallel market.
“What CBN used to do was to give out $10,000 (USD) to each of these BDCs with a clear directive for it not to be sold above N470 as against the $419 exchange rate. It worked.
“But today, nobody is determining where the rate is going and I can assure you we can’t have that solution because we are only importing,” he said.
On his part, Senator representing Katsina North senatorial district, Senator Ahmad Babba-Kaita, said one way to improve the value of the naira was to encourage foreign investments to attract inflow of other currencies into Nigeria.
“The only way we can access the dollar will be determined by other economies and not ours”, he noted.
He, however, attributed the lack of foreign investments into Nigeria on the poor security situation caused by banditry, terrorism and other criminal activities.
The Senate, in its resolutions, called on the CBN to urgently intervene to stop the rapid decline in the value of the Naira vis-à-vis the Dollar and other international currencies.
It also mandated the Senate Committee on Banking, Insurance and Other Financial Institutions to conduct an assessment of CBN intervention funds and the declining value of Naira to come up with sustainable solutions.
Meanwhile, the Senate at the end of Wednesday’s proceedings, adjourned plenary till September 20, 2022, for its annual recess. | https://leadership.ng/senate-summons-cbn-gov-over-naira-depreciation/ | 2022-07-30T12:39:18Z | https://leadership.ng/senate-summons-cbn-gov-over-naira-depreciation/ | true | 3 |
The spike in the market prices of major commodities globally has been a concern for many nations around the world. Nigeria, like others, also faces severe threats to its already wobbly food security position.
Stakeholders believe that Nigeria, a country that is heavily dependent on food importation need to urgently review certain structures, bureaucracies and bottlenecks within its agencies’ systems and operations.
They said while the federal can do little about the prices of the global commodities, at least, it can review the nation’s local port duties, charges and levies that add to the overall import bills of food commodities sourced from elsewhere to bridge the shortfall in the segments where local capacity is well below demand level.
According to an agriculture economist, Emo Fasina, precisely, the port tariffs slapped on imported food commodities is making life difficult for food manufacturers. He specifically, said that the Nigeria Customs’ arbitrary duty evaluation structure strongly impacts operating costs for food processors.
He said, ‘‘This reality is quite disturbing. The prevailing local operating conditions are austere. Of course, epileptic power supply, high fuel prices and a dearth of reliable logistic infrastructure, multiple taxation, inadequate FX, multiple exchange rate, high inflation, among others, keep raising the cost of goods produced in the country. When the prices of the locally produced goods are used as bases for determining tariffs to be slapped on food commodities produced in, and imported from countries where the cost of production is lower, the overall duty evaluation of imported food inputs would skyrocket.
‘‘This explains why food inflation is getting out of hand. The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) revealed in June that the composite food index rose to a staggering 20.60%. The food inflation trend provides a challenge for a larger percentage of the population whose incomes are not keeping up with the pace of inflation.’’
According to the experts, one of the affected food inputs is wheat, a major ingredient in most local staples such as bread, noodles, pasta and semolina, consumed daily in millions of households. The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), disclosed that wheat is the third most-consumed grain in Nigeria after maize and rice, with domestic production accounting for only 1% of the 5 to 6 million metric tons of wheat consumed annually.
Experts believe that although the country is taking steps to scale up local production of wheat, it is still far from producing enough to meet the robust demand level for foods derived from the commodity.
A baker, Thomas Chukwu, said that considering the economic importance and role of wheat in the daily food composition of millions of Nigerian households, as well as its importance to local food processing firms, bakers and other businesses allied to the industry, it would be wise, therefore, to lower tariffs at least on essential commodities until the country has built sufficient local capacity in these segments.
‘‘The refusal to lower tariffs on the commodity until the various trials and researches embarked upon by private and public agencies to raise total wheat crop yield begin to pay off is piling woe on the entire value chain, the millions of people whose livelihoods stem from the commodity and consumers. This woe is already becoming evident from the threat by bakers to increase the prices of bread and other baked products by 30%, citing escalating cost of raw material. Premium bread which sold for between N350 and N500 early in the year now goes for N650 and N800,’’he said.
The president of Premium Bakers Association of Nigeria, Emmanuel Onuorah, during a TV appearance, blamed the development on the country’s unfavourable business environment.
He said, “We have not even increased the cost of our bread commensurate with the increase in the cost of materials, because for you to be able to run the business, cost and revenue must match each other. In our instance, the cost has overshot revenue. If you buy a six hundred trailer of flour to use in your company, most of us, by the time we finish baking, our revenue will be enough to pay for only four hundred. You will have a shortfall of two hundred.
‘‘Between February 10, 2022, and April 25, 2022, flour rose from N19,000 per bag to N24,500. Sugar, another bakery production ingredient, has also risen from N20,500 to N25,000, while the flavour is currently at N8,000, up from the N6,500 sold on February 10 this year. Diesel prices rose from N350 to around N700 per litre thereby bloating the production cost. Before now you never looked at diesel cost as something so paramount, but diesel cost today has doubled,” Onuorah said.
He also called on the federal government to look into the matter.
Investigation showed that the manufacturers of noodles, biscuits and confectioneries are also not finding it easy due to the cost of wheat flour which they say has skyrocketed in recent months.
“The hike is causing low patronage as customers are not willing to buy due to the development,” said Mama Chidera who operates a retail shop at Awodi-ora market, Ajegunle, Apapa, Lagos.
“Before the price increase, if you go to the market with about N200,000, you can buy enough goods as you want, but now that price has increased, when you go to the market with N200, 000, you will not see the worth of that money,” she said.
On biscuits, she said, “Before, when I go to the market, I buy varieties of biscuits, but because of the increase, some producers have ceased producing biscuits; and companies that are still producing, produce less. So, instead of buying as many varieties as I wanted, I buy the available ones.”
Similarly, Caroline Agyo, who bakes cakes, puff-puff, fish-roll, and buns, among other snacks, said that she has stopped baking.
Manufacturers and importers are, therefore, calling on the federal government to intervene urgently by removing the various bottlenecks such as the arbitrary import duty valuation regime that makes accessing critical production inputs challenging.
Speaking on the issue, the national president of the National Council of Managing Directors of Licensed Customs Agents (NCMDLCA), Lucky Amiwero, said the Nigeria Customs’ use of an arbitrary tariff structure to determine import duties of commodities is illegal.
He said whatever steps the customs take in raising tariffs should conform to the WTO agreement on customs valuation which aims for a fair, uniform and neutral system for the valuation of goods for customs purposes.
He mentioned that the WTO agreement which was domesticated in Nigeria as Act 20, 2003 stipulated that the customs duties should conform to prevailing economic realities. The agreement outlaws the use of arbitrary or fictitious customs values in any form.
Amiwero said that based on the domesticated agreement, the Customs has no power to base its duty evaluation on the consumer price index (CPI). He explained that the application of CPI by the custom has led many importers to abandon their cargoes at the port and those who manage to clear their goods often pass the cost burden to the final consumers in pricing.
In sum, public outcry against the indiscretion of the customs is reaching a crescendo. The outcry won’t be quelled until measures are taken to review the government’s position on important food commodities in this period of global supply chain meltdown and escalating food insecurity levels. Hence, the considerate policy step to take for now is to lower or remove excessive import tariffs on valuable food commodities to reduce the pains on food manufacturers and the consumers who always gets the short end of the stick in these situations. | https://leadership.ng/stakeholders-raise-concerns-over-high-food-import-pricing/ | 2022-07-30T12:39:32Z | https://leadership.ng/stakeholders-raise-concerns-over-high-food-import-pricing/ | true | 1 |
Unlike other products in its price range, the Samsung Galaxy A73 features a waterproof and dustproof construction. Equipped with IP67 certification, it promises to be submerged in water up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes. But does this work in practice? Find out below in a practice test!
See too:
As we see in the video, the Galaxy A73 survived for 20 minutes submerged in a pot of fresh water. However, although it was successful in this test, it is worth remembering that the manufacturer does not guarantee protection in cases of salt water or submersion in other types of liquids.
With a great cost-benefit set, the Galaxy A73 brings many other highlights in addition to its protection against water. For example, it has a 6.7″ Super AMOLED FHD+ display that supports 120 Hz refresh rate. Furthermore, its hardware pleases with a Snapdragon 778G chip alongside 8GB of RAM and 128GB of built-in storage.
Main features:
- Screen: 6.7-inch Super AMOLED, Full HD+ resolution of 2340 x 1080 pixels, 120 Hz refresh rate, Gorilla Glass 5
- Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G
- RAM: 8 GB
- Internal storage: 128 GB

Published: Published Date - 04:25 PM, Sat - 30 July 22
Hyderabad: Continuing with the initiative of redesigning and improving the road infrastructure in the city, the State government has sanctioned Rs. 2,410 crore for 104 roads/corridors in the GHMC limits and adjoining 10 Urban Local Bodies (ULBs).
In the orders issued on Friday, the government also accorded permission to take up 50 identified roads/corridors with an amount of Rs.1,500 crore on priority basis.
The Managing Director, Hyderabad Road Development Corporation Limited, had informed the government of the success of the Missing Links Project in Phase-1 and Phase-II and sought the project to be extended for another 104 roads/corridors identified within the limits of GHMC and adjoining ULBs.
For this, the government was requested to provide administrative sanction for an amount of Rs.2,410 crore with permission to take up 50 roads/corridors in Phase-III with five packages on priority basis.
While providing the administrative sanction, the government orders said the expenditure should be met by the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) from internal resources/raising loans from the financial institutes. | https://telanganatoday.com/rs-2410-crore-sanctioned-for-link-roads-improvement-in-hyderabad-and-adjoining-ulbs | 2022-07-30T12:54:43Z | https://telanganatoday.com/rs-2410-crore-sanctioned-for-link-roads-improvement-in-hyderabad-and-adjoining-ulbs | true | 2 |
On top of expensive fuel and energy, the high rate of inflation means it feels like prices have gone up between every shopping trip.
When you have to plan a few days’ worth of food for the whole family, it can feel increasingly frustrating and all the more painful if the meals you make end up going to waste. For that reason, it can be handy to have a few failsafe recipes you know will be eaten up every time and no break the bank.
It stops time and money going to waste and comes with the added satisfaction that you know no-one in the house is going hungry. With the cost of living crisis having a nasty effect on households up and down the country, Manchester Evening News reporter Emma Gill shared some of her family’s failsafe dishes in a bid to inspire others.
READ MORE: Martin Lewis signs off with warning that 'awful winter' is coming
A trip to Aldi set her back just £26.73 and that’s including the ingredients like chili powder and paprika which will be used time and again in future meals. The only extras not on the shopping lists are salt, pepper and oil which will be found in most kitchens already. Leftover butter, rice and potatoes will also prove useful again.
Emma said: “They're not particularly elaborate meals, three of them have just four ingredients, but as a busy mum who works full-time I like to keep it as simple as possible in the kitchen.
"The easiest by far is the pasta dish and we have it that often that my son's friend now calls it 'Emma's pasta', but we're not bored of it yet. It's nice with smoked salmon too, but with only two out of four of us liking salmon, it's often not worth the added cost of at least £3 a pack.”
Here's a breakdown of the meals - with ingredients and method - along with the full shopping list below
Mascarpone pasta
Ingredients
- 500g dried pasta
- 350g Tomato and mascarpone sauce
- 1 x Broccoli
- Cheese (to sprinkle)
- 1 x garlic flatbread
Method
This one couldn't be simpler. You just cook your pasta, add in the sauce. Cook your broccoli separately and add it for those who want it. Sprinkle with some cheese. Stick your garlic bread in the oven while your pasta is cooking.
Gammon and mash
Ingredients
- 750g to 1kg gammon joint
- 500g Carrots
- 1kg potatoes
- Butter
Method
I usually stick the gammon in the slow cooker first thing in the morning, so by teatime it's good to go, but you could always use the oven instead.
Peel your spuds and boil them before draining and mashing with some butter, maybe a drop of milk if needed. Add some salt and pepper. Chop and boil or steam your carrots.
There's always some gammon leftover for tomorrow's butties too - if the dog doesn't snaffle it first that is.
Chicken enchiladas and rice
Ingredients
- 2 x chicken breasts
- 500g carton passata
- 1 x yellow pepper
- 2 small red onions
- 1 pack mini tortilla wraps
- 200g kidney beans
- 40g cheddar
- 1 tsp chilli powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 300g rice
Method
Pre-heat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6. Thinly slice the chicken breasts and pepper.
Peel, halve and slice the onions. In a large frying pan or wok, sauté the chicken, pepper and onions in some oil.
Fry for 8 minutes until sealed. Drain the water from the red kidney beans, then add to the chicken with the chilli and paprika and mix well.
Season with salt and black pepper. Divide the mixture between the tortilla wraps and roll up.
Pour two-thirds of the passata into the base of an oblong ovenproof dish. Put the rolls on top of the passata.
Drizzle over the remaining passata and sprinkle over the cheese. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Cook your rice while the enchiladas are in the oven and then serve.
Chilli con carne and rice
Ingredients
- 500g mince
- 2 x tins of chopped tomatoes
- 1 tin kidney beans
- chilli powder (to taste)
- tomato / garlic puree
- 2 x peppers
- 1 x red onion
- 400g rice
Method
Again I use the slow cooker for this one but you can always use the hob too. Brown your mince and onion, I like to add some chilli powder straight to the meat at this stage to give it some flavour.
In your pan or slow cooker warm your tomatoes and add your peppers. Add the mince and onion and then add more chilli powder, along with some salt and pepper.
Add your kidney beans and some tomato puree. Add a touch of garlic puree or a garlic clove if you have it and you all like the taste.
Cook your rice separately and then serve once chilli is cooked.
Sausage tray bake
Ingredients
- 2 x pack sausages (you may not need them all)
- 500g carrots
- 500g white potatoes
- 8 small red onions
Method
Pre-heat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6.
Cut the potatoes in half if big – no need to peel. Peel the carrots and cut into chunks the same size as the potatoes.
Put the potatoes and carrots into a large baking tray – drizzle over some oil, season with salt and black pepper and put them into the oven on the top shelf.
Meanwhile, cut the sausages in half and put into a large roasting tray. Peel and cut the onions into quarters. Scatter these around the sausages. Put them in the oven on the shelf below the vegetables.
Roast for 40 minutes. Remove from the oven, drain any oil, mix together the vegetables and sausages in a dish and serve alongside your favourite BBQ sauce, tomato ketchup or brown sauce.
Shopping list
- Red onions 75p
- Peppers 99p
- Broccoli 53p
- Carrots 49p
- Potatoes 99p
- Garlic bread £1.29
- Tomato and mascarpone sauce £1.39

Duke of Cambridge Prince William and his younger brother Prince Harry are being compared with Queen Elizabeth’s father George VI and his elder brother Edward III.
Royal expert Andrew Morton believes the royal brothers will go their separate way instead of ending their family feud.
He told The Daily Beast on reconciliation between William and Harry, “I very much doubt they will be reconciled. There is a lot of wishful thinking about this.”
He compared Prince William and Harry with Queen Elizabeth’s father George VI and his elder brother Edward III.
“George VI adored his brother, like Harry adored William, they were inseparable, but then he abdicated, moved abroad and the relationship was never the same again. William and Harry are in a similar situation.
The royal historian, who wrote Diana: Her True Story in 1992, further said ‘They will go their separate ways, and the longer Harry and Meghan stay in America, the more comfortable they will be there.”
Maneskin tour will begin in October.

CNET's top phones with headphone jacks
As more and more phone makers abandon the headphone jack, there are still a handful of great phones being sold that have the audio port. This is especially useful if you want to keep your wired headphones to listen to calls and music. These are CNET's picks for four of the best phones that still offer a dedicated headphone connection.
Samsung Galaxy Note 9
CNET rating (out of 5)
4.5 stars (outstanding)
THE GOOD This big, beautiful phone comes with top-tier specs including a massive battery and internal storage that starts at 128GB. The new S Pen doubles as a wireless remote for taking long-distance selfies. And it still accommodates headphones without a dongle.
THE BAD It's expensive and offers few real innovations over last year's Note 8. The fingerprint reader is uncomfortably close to the camera.
THE COST $889.97 to $999.99
BOTTOM LINE The ultrapricey Note 9 is one of the year's best phones.
LG V30
CNET rating (out of 5)
4.5 stars (outstanding)
THE GOOD A great camera, speedy processor, huge OLED screen, excellent battery life, waterproofing, wireless charging, microSD storage and the best headphone jack on a phone.

BOTTOM LINE If it fits your hands and your photographic needs, you won't be disappointed.
OnePlus 6
CNET rating (out of 5)
4 stars (excellent)
THE GOOD It’s blazing fast, shoots amazing portrait mode photos, has a polished refined design, still has a headphone jack and costs much less than other flagship phones.
THE BAD It lacks waterproofing and wireless charging, and it has a shorter battery life than the OnePlus 5T.
THE COST $533.28
BOTTOM LINE This is an excellent phone and gives you many of the features of more costly flagship models.
Motorola Moto G6
CNET rating (out of 5)
4 stars (excellent)
THE GOOD The Motorola Moto G6 has a near-stock version of Android Oreo, good dual-rear cameras, fast charging, its own headphone connection and a sleek design. And it's amazingly affordable.
THE BAD The battery life is not as long as last year's Moto G5 or G5 Plus.
THE COST $184.34 to $199.99
BOTTOM LINE The Moto G6 is a sublime value, despite its minimal drawbacks.

Driver dies in fiery crash on I-20 east of Terrell
A driver is dead from a fiery crash on I-20 in Kaufman County Tuesday night.
Officials say a box truck heading east crashed off the freeway a few miles east of Terrell.
The truck came to a halt in the dry grass along the highway and the heat from the exhaust sparked a fire which quickly burned up the truck.
The driver was found dead in the cab but the cause of death is not yet determined.

It’s the end of a month, which means there are a lot of great movies leaving streaming platforms for you to catch up on before the calendar turns. But which ones are most worth your time? That’s where we’re here to help.
We’ve got 15 quality movies for you to check out at home before they leave Netflix, HBO Max, Hulu, or wherever they are currently located. These include some of the best action movies on Netflix, an uproarious LGBTQ comedy, hardboiled thrillers, and more.
There’s also Christopher Nolan’s latest blockbuster, Tenet, which leaves HBO Max. If you haven’t had the opportunity to catch up with that particular brain puzzle, now’s your time.
Here are 15 of the best movies leaving streaming at the end of July 2022.
Baaghi
There are few movie stars in the world with the combination of charisma, skill, and grace as Tiger Shroff. The martial artist/dancer/singer is a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to movie stardom, and one of the best entry points for his particular brand of leading-man charisma is leaving Netflix at the end of the month.
In Baaghi (which translates to “Rebel”), Shroff plays Ronny, a full-of-himself, skilled martial artist who lacks the discipline to take control of his life. When his ex-girlfriend is kidnapped by a gangster who is also a champion at the Indian martial art Kalaripayattu, Ronny must set old demons aside to rescue her. Featuring thrilling fight scenes with top-notch choreography, exciting dance numbers, and an endless display of Shroff’s superstar bona fides, Baaghi is a must-see for any action fan. —Pete Volk
Baaghi leaves Netflix Aug. 1.
Before Midnight
If there’s one word to describe Before Midnight, the capstone to Richard Linklater’s two decade-spanning romance trilogy, it’s bittersweet. Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke return as Céline and Jesse, the once star-crossed couple who met on a train to Vienna in 1994. Nine years after resuming their romance in Paris, the film follows the now-married couple as they vacation on the Greek Peloponnese peninsula, touring the sights and reminiscing on their time spent together. Where Before Sunrise was the story of a blossoming young romance, and Before Sunset was the story of the rekindling of that same romance, Before Midnight is the story of that love’s maturation, and all the struggles and difficulties that come with it. —Toussaint Egan
Before Midnight leaves Criterion Channel on July 31.
The Birdcage
Mike Nichols’ classic adaptation of La Cage aux Folles is a hilarious subversion of your typical “two wildly different families have to get along when their children fall in love” romantic comedy. Nathan Lane, Robin Williams, Gene Hackman, and Dianne Wiest are all hilarious in this sendup of culture clashes and the moral panic of American conservativism.
As The Hamden Journal’s Maddy Myers put it in our list of the best LGBTQ comedies you can watch at home:
It’s hard to even imagine Nathan Lane as unconfident about anything in his life, especially when it comes to his melodramatic, hilarious portrayal of drag queen Starina (and her alter-ego, the not-so-mild-mannered Albert) in The Birdcage — but Lane was still in the closet at the time. It’s all the more impressive that the central joke of the 1996 movie is that Albert can’t manage to pass as straight, not even for the benefit of his son’s fiancée’s extremely conservative family. The Birdcage shows all the ways that gender is a performance through its rapid-fire wit and absurd situations, shying away from the preachiness you might expect of a comedy about conservatives forced to face their fears of all things queer. The best part of The Birdcage isn’t the drag performances, although those remain a delight — instead it’s the movie’s portrayal of the middle-aged mundanities of two gay dads existing in the ’90s. They’re normal, and at the time, that felt radical.
To quote a bird (albeit one typically not found in a cage): It’s an absolute hoot. —PV
The Birdcage leaves HBO Max July 31.
Boyka: Undisputed
In 2002, Walter Hill (The Warriors) released Undisputed, a prison boxing drama starring Wesley Snipes and Ving Rhames. Four years later, direct-to-video action maestro Isaac Florentine took the series in a different direction with Undisputed II: Last Man Standing, starring martial artists Michael Jai White and Scott Adkins and changing the fighting style from boxing to mixed martial arts.
After that fantastic sequel, a surprising thing happened: Adkins’ Boyka character, who was the antagonist of Last Man Standing, became a huge hit and took over the series. Undisputed III: Redemption was the first of two stellar movies to focus on Boyka, with the latter (Boyka: Undisputed) leaving Netflix at the end of the month.
While it’s helpful to have seen the previous Boyka entries in the series, it’s not necessary. Just know Yuri Boyka is the most complete fighter in the world, and he has very conflicted feelings about his villainous past. In this one, he accidentally kills a fighter in the ring and devotes his life to doing what he can for the fighter’s widow. Adkins delivers a terrific leading performance, and as usual, the fight scenes are magnificent. —PV
Boyka: Undisputed leaves Netflix Aug. 1.
Burn After Reading
The movies of the Coen bros. are extremely reflective of the locations they are set in: Fargo, No Country for Old Men, Raising Arizona… Even their weaker outings, like The Ladykillers, are firmly entrenched in the moods of their settings.
Burn After Reading is one of their more exemplary attempts at this, as a quintessential Washington, D.C., thriller through and through. Perhaps the dumbest conspiracy thriller of all time (this is meant as a compliment), Burn After Reading weaponizes the paranoia and incompetence of government officials (especially those in the field of “intelligence”) in a wicked dark comedy with an excellent cast. —PV
Burn After Reading leaves Hulu July 31.
Collateral
An underrated Michael Mann vehicle and one of Tom Cruise’s most terrifying performances, Collateral is a slick neo-noir set on the streets of LA at night. Jamie Foxx plays a cab driver with big business plans he can’t seem to get together. When he happens to pick up a ruthless contract killer (Cruise) as his fare, his night takes a turn for the unexpected. Foxx and Cruise are at their absolute best in this pairing, and Mann’s crisp camera work coupled with the open streets of Los Angeles make this a very different kind of buddy road trip movie. —PV
Collateral leaves HBO Max July 31.
Devil in a Blue Dress
Carl Franklin’s adaptation of Walter Mosley’s excellent novel has it all: steamy noir Denzel, Don Cheadle in a “you have to see it to believe it” role, and all the necessary pieces for a great LA detective movie. It’s a crying shame we weren’t treated to many more Mosley adaptations with Denzel as Easy Rawlins. —PV
Devil in a Blue Dress leaves HBO Max July 31.
The John Wick movies
The Keanu Reeves-led revenge thriller series was a shock hit when the first movie came out in 2014, and has left a huge mark on action cinema in the years since. With an emphasis on practical choreography and close-quarters gunplay, the Wick franchise is helmed by former Reeves stuntman Chad Stahelski and brings that energy into everything it does. Special shoutout to Mark Dacascos, the villain of the third entry in the franchise, and to the upcoming fourth installment, which features Reeves fighting Donnie Yen with both a gun and a sword. —PV
The John Wick movies leave Peacock July 31.
Magic Mike XXL
The follow-up to the excellent romantic comedy Magic Mike is even more rapturously joyous than the first, celebrating pleasure in its many forms. This also doubles as a road trip movie and a “the crew gets back together for one last job” movie. Also: Joe Manganiello goes all out in a minimart dancing to “I Want It That Way.” Perfection, no notes. —PV
Magic Mike XXL leaves HBO Max July 31.
Speed
Here’s to the base pleasures of Speed, a movie that tells you exactly what it is right on the tin. A tense thriller meticulously constructed for maximum fun, it features a simple premise that will hook you from the start; an excellent cast led by Keanu Reeves, Sandra Bullock, and a delightfully wicked Dennis Hopper; and a tight script by future TV showrunner Graham Yost (Justified). —PV
Speed leaves Prime Video July 31.
Tenet
A friend of mine once described the premise of Tenet to me as “What if Christopher Nolan wrote the script for a Call of Duty game and turned it into a movie,” and honestly, there’s no better way of putting this film into words.
John David Washington (BlacKkKlansman) stars in Nolan’s palindromically titled sci-fi thriller as a CIA operative, codenamed “The Protagonist,” who is recruited by a counterterrorism unit known as “Tenet” to stop a renegade Russian oligarch from inciting World War III using technology that threatens not only the present world, but the past and future.
Does that sound confusing? It is, but that’s neither the point nor the heart of the film’s appeal. Beyond the obtuse koan-like dialogue and confusing chronology of the film’s plot are some of the most breathtaking set-pieces and fight scenes Nolan has ever filmed. Did you like the rotating hallway fight in Inception? Wait until you get a load of the reverse car chase midway through Tenet, or the “temporal pincer maneuver” of the film’s finale. Still confused? To quote one of Tenet’s earliest scenes, “Don’t try to understand it. Feel it.” —TE
Tenet leaves HBO Max on July 31.
The Parallax View
A defining conspiracy thriller from the 1970s, Alan J. Pakula’s unforgettable adaptation of Loren Singer’s novel stars Warren Beatty as an investigative reporter who uncovers a vast political organization that carries out assassinations. Tangibly paranoid and uneasy, it’s a masterpiece of the genre and one of the most influential Hollywood films of the era. —PV
The Parallax View leaves Prime Video and the Criterion Channel July 31.
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story
One of the best musician biopics is also a completely fictional satire of the genre, featuring great gags and incisive criticism of well-worn tropes. My personal favorite: Dewey Cox has to remember his entire life before he goes on stage, every time. —PV
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story leaves Hulu July 31. | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/technology/15-best-movies-to-watch-on-netflix-hulu-before-they-leave-july-2022/280571/ | 2022-07-30T13:46:43Z | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/technology/15-best-movies-to-watch-on-netflix-hulu-before-they-leave-july-2022/280571/ | true | 3 |
Having hosted online and offline Forex trading seminars for 150+ students nationwide, Ambrose Ebuka has developed a useful roadmap that can take a Forex newbie to professional level in Forex trading.
These steps are outlined from a recent radio show and can take you from beginner to Forex trading professional if followed judiciously.
Step 1: Learn the basics
The first step in the journey of learning Forex begins with the bare basics. What is Forex? How does it work? How can I use it?
A term coined from the abbreviation of foreign exchange, Forex is the market where people and institutions, such as banks and investment funds, exchange currencies. The Forex market is the largest financial market in the world, open globally twenty-four hours a day, five days a week.
The broker helps make the Forex market accessible for millions of retail traders around the world. Brokers also provide traders access to leverage, which traders can use to increase their initial investments by the means of borrowed funds. While it may increase the potential for greater profit, it also increases the risk of losing one’s trading capital. Hence, ensuring proper risk management is paramount.
In Forex, one currency is always exchanged for another, forming currency pairs. Two common examples of currency pairs are GBPJPY (the British pound against the Japanese yen) and EURUSD (the euro against the US dollar). In every pair, the first currency is called the base, followed by the quote currency. In our GBPJPY example above, GBP is the base currency, while JPY is the quote currency.
Profits from Forex come from the movement of currencies in a trade. These movements are measured in pips, which usually represent the last decimal place of a price quote.
Head over to the OctaFX YouTube channel where you’ll find many detailed videos by Forex trading experts that will boost your forex trading knowledge.
Step 2: Get the timing right
Traders enter the Forex market to make profits. The best time for this is when volatility and liquidity are highest in the Forex market. Four trading sessions called by the names of cities where major stock exchanges operate—New York, London, Sydney, and Tokyo—run for nine hours each. The peak trading period occurs when trading sessions overlap (that is, when more than one trading session is open at the same time). This period offers the most liquidity and increased price movements for currency pairs traded most during these sessions.
Taking into account the overlaps and the different trading sessions’ open hours, Nigerian trading experts have concluded that the best time to trade is between the opening time of the London session to the closing time of the New York session (8:00 am to 5:00 pm Nigerian time). During these hours, there are many chances to make a successful trade because liquidity is highest for major currency pairs like EUR/USD and GBP/USD.
Economic data tends to be one of the most important driving forces for short-term movements in the Forex market. Another big factor is the time of publication of press releases and other influential statements. A major news release has the power to boost a snail-paced trading period.
Although traders should not concern themselves with every news, there are significant events that traders must not neglect. You can find every such event in the OctaFX country-specific economic calendar. They provide you with past, present, and future updates regarding the economic news of a country.
Step 3: Analyse the market
Professional Forex traders create a combination of systems to analyse the Forex market, which then inform their trading decisions.
Forex traders use three known methods to analyse the market—fundamental, technical and sentiment analysis. The last one is the most uncommon of the three. Sentiment analysis involves analysing the movement of currencies based on popular opinion among Forex traders.
Fundamental analysis breaks down the impact of political, economic, and social factors on the relative value of a currency. Such factors as disease epidemics or high unemployment rates, among others, can cause a decrease in a country’s economy. In this case, the currency of this country will probably decline. The reverse would be the case for positive economic growth and the rise of the national currency.
OctaFX provides an easier way to keep yourself updated by sharing reports on the key events.
Technical analysis studies historical price movements to identify patterns and predict future price movements. Using trend lines, support and resistance levels, indicators, and various chart patterns, Forex analysts and traders decide on the most favourable trading decisions.
Here are a few trusted market analysis practises:
- Apply both technical and fundamental analyses
- Identify daily and weekly trends. Is it an uptrend or a downtrend?
- Mark support and resistance levels.
- Look for swings highs/swing lows.
- Identify key price zones where retracement can occur. Then apply the Fibonacci retracement indicator to confirm.
Developing the strategy that works for you requires that you have a plan, continuously work on it, test it on historical data or on demo account and develop it over time. Go through the Analysis & Education section of the OctaFX website (don’t forget about the YouTube channel) to get educational material on all the technical terms and tools mentioned in this article. On the YouTube channel, you can watch professionals analyse the markets. You can explore their practices and test which one works for you.
Step 4: Don’t believe trading myths
There are several trading myths you should stop believing in if you want to become a professional Forex trader.
- Forex will give you quick money
Forex is not a get-rich-quick scheme. It is just like any other business that requires its own set of skills and techniques you must learn.
- You need a huge capital to start trading Forex
As a beginner trader, you have the option of starting small. Many brokers offer retail investors minimal deposit requirements to enter the Forex market. For example, with OctaFX, you can enter the Forex market with as little as $40.
- Spending more time watching your trades
Though trading needs a lot of commitment, it does not necessarily require you to stare at the screen all the time.
- High risk, High reward
A fatal misconception often made by beginner traders is that the more risk you take, the higher your reward can get. Leverage is a two-edged sword that can magnify your profits while exposing your trading account to a high level of risk if not used properly. Never use the leverage blindly.
- More trading means more profit
It does not matter how many trades you open. What matters is how much you make on every trade.
- Forex is a scam
Forex market is an international financial market where the world’s currencies are traded. A lot of money is usually involved in the Forex business, thence scammers take advantage of the situation to defraud unsuspecting traders expecting to make high profits. Do some research before venturing into any business, be it Forex trading or not.
- You will be right all the time
Losses are an integral part of trading. Accepting this and implementing risk management strategies plays a big role in helping traders achieve their targets and goals.
Develop a solid trading plan you’ve tested and convert your losses into lessons.
Step 5: Avoid popular trading mistakes
The journey to the professional level in any venture involves making mistakes and learning from them. Learning from others’ mistakes will save you much trouble. Here are a few common trading mistakes and how to avoid them.
- No analysis
Forex is not gambling. Placing a trade with poor analysis or a guess is a short route to bankruptcy.
- Overleveraging
Though it is tempting to use extreme leverage to make fast profits on a single trade, the risk of losing all you have is not worth it. It is wise to make proper assessments before using leverage and placing risk management orders.
- Letting emotions influence your trading
Trading with anger and in a frantic attempt to get your money back after a loss can ruin your investing experience. Keep your loss-per-trade at a maximum of 25% and quit it once it gets there. Switch to your demo account for a while if the trading is going hard.
- Poor risk management
Always ensure that you have proper risk management plans. Place your Stop losses to limit losses and take profits to close your orders immediately after you reach your profit target. Using conservative lot sizes and risk-reward ratios are also indispensable tools for managing risks.
- Breaking your own rules
Once you have a trading strategy that works for you, strictly keep to it. Do not let impatience get the best of you.

‘Chaturanga’ is how chess was known as in Ancient India and it's origin can be traced to more than 10 centuries ago, for it indicates the four wings of the old Indian army which has Infantry, cavalry, Charioteers and Elephants. Incidentally when India is hosting the 44th Chess Olympiad at Chennai from July 28, for the very first time in close to a century, FIDE, the World body governing chess introduced the inaugural Torch Relay to celebrate and acknowledge India as the birthplace of chess. Henceforth, the torch Relay for every Olympiad will be flagged off in India and travel across the world before culminating at the host country.
A game tracing its origin almost 12 to 15 centuries back would have its share of fabulous legends and Chess too has its fair share of ones which have been handed down in generations, in sort of a legacy! The most fascinating one was narrated by my grandmother when I was 6 years old and was just new to chess. In the great epic Ramayana, which was once verbally transmitted sometime between 750 BC and 500 B, demon King Ravana invented chess to amuse his wife Mandodari, who promptly defeated him at it. It may appear far fetched to a few but then some of the oldest references to chess can be traced to ancient Indian texts.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s great gesture in flagging off the Olympiad flame from Delhi garnered maximum attention and support for chess, which has been witnessing a boom in recent years. Seeded in the top five in World Rankings, India has the talent and the potential to become a major player, breaking the long held Russian and Chinese supremacy. The torch relay as it passes through 75 cities could prove motivational for many to explore the mysteries of the game on the 64 squares. The ‘Khelo India’ initiative launched by the Indian government will now include ‘Khelo Chess’ and could well be the new moto of the younger generation.
Even as India moved into top gear to host the Olympiad at such short notice, a record 189 countries have registered for participating. This is the highest ever in the history of the Olympiad. India as the host nation is entitled to field an extra team in both sections which means that 10 more Indians get an opportunity to showcase their skills at the biggest platform in world chess.
Indian chess is on the rise as can be seen with the teen talent pool which has been dominating the European circuit from Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa, Arjun Erigaisi, D Gukesh, Nihal Sarin, R Vaishali to name a few. All four Indian teams that would be on display at the Olympiad have the potential to rake in a medal. The organization and conduct of the Olympiad appear to be going along the intended lines and after this Olympiad, the World will recognize and acknowledge India as a splendid organizer and gracious host. | https://www.outlookindia.com/sports/chess-olympiad-and-indian-chess-engagement-by-indian-chess-grandmaster-viswanathan-anand-news-213029 | 2022-07-30T13:48:33Z | https://www.outlookindia.com/sports/chess-olympiad-and-indian-chess-engagement-by-indian-chess-grandmaster-viswanathan-anand-news-213029 | false | 1 |

Saint Peter Chrysologous (+450) was, as the traditional account has it, chosen bishop of Ravenna in 433 after the then-reigning pontiff, Pope, Sixtus III, had a vision of Saint Peter the Apostle and Saint Apollinaris (himself a former bishop of Ravenna) who pointed out a young man as the next episcopus. Soon afterwards, a group arrived in Rome from Ravenna, and amongst them the man – our saint – whom the Pope recognized him from the vision, and so consecrated him bishop.
That’s one dramatic way to discover one’s vocation, and, I must confess, this might seem a more felicitous way of choosing good and worthy shepherds than whatever goes on behind the scenes today.
Peter was known as ‘doctor of homilies’, presenting short sermons expounding Scripture, explaining the Creed, advocating devotion to the Eucharist and the Blessed Virgin, urging Catholics to daily Communion, condemning the heresies of the day – Arianism, Monophysitism being two of his and the Church’s banes – and explaining all of this in clear and precise terms. We could use far more of such from our modern pulpits, in the midst of what I’m sure many readers will agree is a veritable sea of emotive, homiletic pablum, with everyone and their granny floating up to heaven on a whiff of incense and perhaps, now, marijuana. Our diocesan priests could do far worse with their study-time (and, yes, all priests should have study time!) than peruse Chrysologous’ sermons. Now that I think of it, should the canonical requirement that priests maintain a competent level of Latin ever be enforced, translating them as an exercise from their original, sonorous and flowing Roman prose. Galla Placida, regent and mother of the Emperor Valentinian III, loved to hear him, and it was she who gave him the sobriquet chrysologous, or Peter ‘of the golden word’, like his earlier Greek near-contemporary, John Chrysostom (+407), the ‘golden mouthed’.
As a sample, here he is from today’s Office:
The earth was adorned with flowers, groves and fruit; and the constant marvellous variety of lovely living things was created in the air, the fields, and the seas for you, lest sad solitude destroy the joy of God’s new creation. And the Creator still works to devise things that can add to your glory. He has made you in his image that you might in your person make the invisible Creator present on earth; he has made you his legate, so that the vast empire of the world might have the Lord’s representative. Then in his mercy God assumed what he made in you; he wanted now to be truly manifest in man, just as he had wished to be revealed in man as in an image. Now he would be in reality what he had submitted to be in symbol.
Peter died after a fruitful seventeen-year reign on July 31st, 450, with his feast placed on this day in 1969, before Saint Ignatius tomorrow. He was declared a Doctor of the Church in 1729 by Pope Benedict XIII.

Former Moldovan President Dodon called Sandu “Moldovan Gorbachev”
Former President of Moldova Igor Dodon called the current head of state Maia Sandu “Moldovan Gorbachev”. He stated this in his Telegram-channel.
According to Dodon, Sandu is not accepted by the population of Moldova, but she is popular abroad as former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev.
“He was not loved inside the country, in the Soviet Union, but applauded outside. This is how it is with Sandu, and I’m not talking about this, Romanian political scientists said this a few months ago, ”he wrote.
Dodon also called on Sandu to refrain from traveling abroad – he claims that the head of state goes there “for the sake of applause.” Instead, the ex-president recommended to attend to the affairs of his country.
Earlier in July, Dodon accused the Moldovan government of dragging the country into a regional war in Transnistria and intending to invite NATO troops. He claims that the current head of state, Maia Sandu, is “ready for anything to stay in power.”

Paul Ince and son Tom are back in town as the Seasiders look to kick off the 2022/23 campaign with a victory.

Blackpool v Reading LIVE
Last updated: Saturday, 30 July, 2022, 15:03
- LIVE: Blackpool 0-0 Reading
- Seasiders host Paul Ince’s Royals in first game of the season
- Michael Appleton hoping to get second spell off to a positive start
- Richard Keogh an injury doubt
2 - Positive
Callum Connolly swings in a dangerous cross from the right which debutant Dom Thompson almost gets a header to at the back post.
Positive start.
Analysis
Appleton hands starts to three debutants in Rhys Williams, Dominic Thompson and Lewis Fiorini.
Williams gets the nod in the centre of defence in the absence of Richard Keogh, who misses out with a groin problem.
Thompson is preferred to Luke Garbutt at left-back in his first outing since signing permanently from Brentford.
Fiorini features in a three-man midfield alongside Matty Virtue and Sonny Carey, while Keshi Anderson also misses out through injury.
Jerry Yates is given the role on the left of Blackpool’s front three, which also features Josh Bowler and Gary Madine.
James Husband, Jordan Gabriel, Doug Tharme, Kevin Stewart and Jake Beesley all remain sidelined, while Chris Maxwell is left off the bench after picking up a knock in midweek.
As for Reading, former Seasiders Joe Lumley and Tom Ince are named in their starting line-up.
It’s July and it’s raining, which seems all sorts of wrong for the first day of a new season.
But competitive football is back and that’s all that matters, as Michael Appleton aims to kick-off his second spell in the Bloomfield Road hotseat with a victory.
Team news and updates to follow.
How will the Seasiders line up?
With Richard Keogh an injury doubt, that will provide an opportunity for either Rhys Williams or Jordan Thorniley to partner Marvin Ekpiteta in the centre of defence.
Should he start, Williams won’t be the only debutant with Dominic Thompson, Lewis Fiorini and Theo Corbeanu all in the frame.
It will be interesting to see who gets the nod in the deeper central midfielder’s role, with Matty Virtue and Kenny Dougall both competing for that spot.
Callum Connolly would be a good fit for that position but he’s likely to be required at right-back to fill in for Jordan Gabriel, who remains sidelined having not featured at all in pre-season.
Judging by pre-season, Gary Madine is likely to get the nod to lead the line ahead of Shayne Lavery and Jerry Yates, but you never know.
How are today’s opponents shaping up?
Given today’s game is the first of the season, there’s an element of unknown about the opponents.
Saying that, the Seasiders boasted an impressive record against the Royals last season, winning home and away and scoring seven in the process.
But how are Paul Ince’s side shaping up ahead of the new season?
The Gazette caught up with BBC Radio Berkshire’s Reading commentator Tim Dellor to find out.
Paul Ince’s pre-match quotes
“I had a fantastic time at Blackpool and enjoyed my time there under Karl Oyston,” Ince said.
“It’s always nice to go back to your old clubs… but this is all about us trying to go there and trying to do a job.
“We’re in a positive mood and the lads are in great spirit. We’ll go up to Blackpool looking for a result.
“We know where we are as a club and the challenges we’re facing. And we also know that if we play right, with spirit and togetherness, we can achieve better than we did last year. We don’t want to be in a relegation fight – we want to go as far as we can.
“So for me as a manager, I’ll make sure we have targets to achieve. And when we reach those targets, where do we go next.
“Now we have to pull together, have a positive vibe. We have to keep believing and not get despondent if we lose a couple of games – there’s 46 games. If we pull together, who knows how far that can take us?
“Last season, we started to close the gap between us and the fans – that’s great and our fans came to see us because we gave it our all. That’s one of the priorities this year: give it your all, and see what happens.” | https://www.blackpoolgazette.co.uk/sport/football/blackpool-fc/blackpool-v-reading-live-updates-from-the-first-game-of-the-championship-season-3787253 | 2022-07-30T14:03:14Z | https://www.blackpoolgazette.co.uk/sport/football/blackpool-fc/blackpool-v-reading-live-updates-from-the-first-game-of-the-championship-season-3787253 | true | 1 |

Scotland felt the full force of a clinical and ruthless Australia as the Diamonds stormed to a 83-30 win in Commonwealth Games netball.
Following on from Friday’s 95-18 demolition of Barbados, the Australians saw off an early challenge from the Scots on Saturday and then stepped up a gear.
Australian coach Stacey Marinkovich shuffled her lineup and Scottish assistant coach Sara Francis-Bayman says there are selection headaches ahead for the Diamonds.
“They were very Australian - very clinical, very ruthless,” she said.
“They actually got better as the game went on and Stacy has a tough decision deciding what her strongest seven is.
“They’ve looked great in the first two games and we understood if we gave them too much space, too much time on the ball, they’d start to punish us.”
Scotland kept pace with Australia and only trailled 17-10 at quarter time.
But their inconsistency showed and Australia motored to a 35-16 lead at the main break.
Cara Koenen was brought on as goal shooter for the second half and she revelled in Australia’s domination, leading their scoring with 36 goals from 37 shots.
Gretel Bueta switched from shooter to goal attack and also impressed, with 33 goals at 97 per cent.
At the other end, the Australian defending was rock-solid and Sunday Aryang starred at goal defence.
Sarah Klau played the first half as goal keeper and Courtney Bruce did not miss a beat when she took over from her.
Wing defence Ash Brazill produced a match highlight with her spectacular intercept in the second quarter.
“We had a few things we wanted to tick off from yesterday and it was a good win,” Bruce said.
“That first quarter was a bit goal-for-goal, but that’s what we want in these round (robin) games - we want to be challenged.”
No Australian played the whole game, with Kate Moloney having most time on court with 53 minutes at centre and wing defence.
While Australia enjoyed a comprehensive win, Bruce said there remains room for improvement.
“We have another level to go to - we didn’t let the ball go at times and the options were on,” she said.
“Against stronger teams, we might get some hold balls.
“We’ve definitely got to learn to give the ‘ugly’ ball at times and build momentum.
“In defence our connections were better, but we can connect more as a unit.”

Bhubaneswar, Jul 30 (PTI) Ollywood star Babushaan Mohanty appeared before police on Saturday for questioning in connection with the cases lodged after last week's dramatic public brawl involving him, actress Prakruti Mishra and his wife over an alleged extramarital affair.
Mohanty came to the Kharabela Nagar police station along with his mother -- veteran actress Aparajita Mohanty -- and actor Rabi Mishra in the afternoon, inspector Arun Swain told reporters.
The 32-year-old actor, who was summoned in connection with the cases filed by the warring sides, cooperated with the police, which asked him questions as part of the investigations, Swain said.
The officer refused to divulge the details of the ongoing probe, adding that possible steps would be taken as per law after investigating all angles.
Babushaan Mohanty, whose birthday falls on this day, left the police station later without answering any questions from the frenzied media.
Police had questioned Mishra at her residence on Tuesday for nearly an hour in the presence of her parents.
High drama unfolded in Satya Nagar area of Bhubaneswar last Saturday as Babushaan Mohanty's wife Trupti Satapathy intercepted his SUV, which was also occupied by Mishra in the front seat.
Several videos went viral on social media, showing Satapathy purportedly trying to drag Mohanty out of the car and also assaulting Mishra.
Satapathy alleged that Mohanty and Mishra were in an extramarital affair for two years and she had caught them red-handed several times. The woman gave her husband several chances earlier, adding that the same mistake, however, cannot be repeated again and again.
Satapathy's case was lodged under sections 498A (husband or his relative subjecting wife to cruelty) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code.
An FIR was lodged based on a police complaint filed by Mishra's mother under IPC sections 341 (wrongful restraint), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 506 (criminal intimidation) and two others.
Babushaan Mohanty -- who has acted in several movies, such as 'Golmaal Love' and 'Love Station' -- married his childhood friend Satapathy in 2014 and they have a son. The actor is the son of star couple Uttam and Aparajita Mohanty.
In a live stream on Facebook a few days ago, Mohanty described Mishra as a "very good friend", denying allegations that the 'Hello Arsi' actress blackmailed or harassed him.
In an Instagram video, Mishra had said "nobody can break anybody's house as it was already broken".

Iraqi protesters breach parliament building in Baghdad
YEREVAN, JULY 30, ARMENPRESS. Thousands of followers of an influential Shiite cleric breached Iraq’s parliament on Saturday, for the second time this week, to protest government formation efforts lead by his rivals, The Associated Press reports.
Iraqi security forces initially used tear gas and sound bombs to try to repel the demonstrators and caused several injuries. Once inside, the protesters declared an open-ended sit-in and claimed they would not disperse until their demands are answered.
As the numbers inside the parliament swelled, the police backed off. An expected parliament session did not take place Saturday and there were no lawmakers in the hall.
By late afternoon, the Ministry of Health said that about 125 people had been injured in the violence — 100 civilians and 25 members of the security forces.
Earlier in the day and heeding the calls of cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, the demonstrators used ropes to pull down cement barricades leading to the gate of Iraq’s Green Zone, which houses government buildings and embassies.
It was the second time in the span of three days that the cleric has ordered his followers to stage a sit-in inside the Green Zone.
On Wednesday, protesters stormed the parliament building in a similar fashion but left shortly after, at al-Sadr’s command. They had come to warn their rivals against proceeding with government formation efforts, after the alliance named Mohammed al-Sudani as its nominee for the premiership. | https://armenpress.am/eng/news/1089322/ | 2022-07-30T14:36:48Z | https://armenpress.am/eng/news/1089322/ | true | 2 |

In the documentary series ‘Brutal Pact: The Assassination of Daniella Perez’, Gloria Perez gives her explanation for the murder of her daughter, aged 22, on the night of December 28, 1992.
The author of the novel ‘De Corpo e Alma’ believes that Guilherme de Pádua pressured Daniella so that her characters, Bira and Yasmin, ended up together.
The situation – today it would be described as moral harassment – became so serious that he would have been afraid that the actress would take any action that could harm him at Globo.
“I think he went too far in this pressure on Dani and was afraid she would tell me and her husband (actor Raul Gazolla). And that’s why he thought his career was over,” says Gloria in the HBO Max production.
In this line of thought, Guilherme de Padua killed Daniella Perez to ensure the continuity of his rising career on TV. He would have been motivated by the ambition to be successful. “My daughter was killed out of greed,” says the novelist.
Less than 3 hours before the crime, the two recorded the sequence in which Yasmin broke up with Bira. At the time, director Fábio Sabag told ‘Globo Repórter’ that Guilherme cried a lot in the studio after the scene.
In the same report conducted by journalist Marcelo Rezende, chamberlains Walfredo Rosário and Geralda Fernandes reported that the actor was agitated that day and was constantly trying to talk to Daniella backstage.
Two other versions of Daniella Perez’s death were released by the press at the time: a pact between the couple on account of Paula Thomaz’s unhealthy jealousy and a satanic ritual to ensure Guilherme de Pádua’s success on TV. | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/07/30/gloria-perez-reveals-theory-about-the-murderous-action-of-guilherme-de-padua/ | 2022-07-30T14:52:37Z | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/07/30/gloria-perez-reveals-theory-about-the-murderous-action-of-guilherme-de-padua/ | true | 1 |

Four people have been injured in a pile-up which has caused mayhem on Devon's roads today. Police have confirmed that one motorist was taken by land ambulance to the Royal Devon and Exeter hospital with minor injuries while three others were treated with non life-threatening and non life-changing injuries by the road side by paramedics following a multiple cars crash on the A30 near Okehampton.
Emergency services were called to the scene of a crash involving multiple vehicles near Okehampton at 12.44pm today leading to nine miles of tailback on abusy change-over holiday season day. Some motorists told DevonLive they had been stuck in the traffic jam for more than two hours before it started easing off.
Vehicles have been stopped on the A30 westbound between the A382 and B3260 near Okehampton after a caravan overturned. The air ambulance was called but left.

Police confirmed that all casualties had been either treated at the scene or taken to hospital by road ambulance with no report of the Devon Air Ambulance being needed in the end.
A spokeswoman for Devon and Cornwall Police said: "Four people have received minor injuries in the collision. None of the injuries are life-threatening or life-changing but one person was taken to hospital." She said some of the people involved had been treated for things like whiplash.
The police spokeswoman also said that all lane on the A30 westbound reopened by 3.30pm with one lane also being opened eastbound. "Traffic should start easing off. It has certainly one very busy day on the region's roads today."

Since its inception in 1955 as the European Champions Cup and then rebranding to the UEFA Champions League in 1991, Europe’s premier club competition has featured some of the best goalscorers in football history.
Top 10 UEFA Champions League top scorers of all time
Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and four other active players dominate the top 10 UCL top scorers of all time list.
The top 10 scorers in the history of the UEFA Champions League actually feature 11 players as it stands, 6 of whom are still playing active football.
10. Zlatan Ibrahimovic - 48 goals
Legendary Swedish striker, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has scored 48 goals in 124 UEFA Champions League appearances so far and the 40-year-old may yet increase that tally as he’s set to play for AC Milan in the 2022/23 instalment of the competition.
Ibrahimovic’s goals were scored for six different teams most of which were for Paris Saint Germain with 20 goals, nine goals for AC Milan, six each for Ajax and Inter Milan, four goals for Barcelona and three for Juventus.
10. Andriy Shevchenko - 48 goals
Legendary Ukrainian striker Andriy Shevchenko also scored 48 goals in the Champions League but he did so in 100 games, giving him a better goal ratio than Ibrahimovic.
Shevchenko has been retired since 2012 and last played Champions League football in 2009 but still left a lasting legacy with his 48 goals for AC Milan (29), Dynamo Kyiv (15) and Chelsea (4).
9. Alfredo Di Stefano - 49 goals
Alfredo Di Stefano scored 49 goals in 58 games for Real Madrid in the old European Cup and was a key part of the early success Los Blancos enjoyed on the continent.
The Argentine-Spaniard has been retired since 1966 and last played in this competition all the way back in 1994 but still boasts the best goal ratio in the top 10 at 0.84 goals per game.
8. Thierry Henry - 50 goals
French striker Thierry Henry scored 50 goals in 112 UEFA Champions League games for three different teams until he hung his boots in 2014.
The vast majority of those goals were scored for Arsenal where he made his name with 35 goals, eight for Barcelona and seven for Monaco.
7. Thomas Muller - 52 goals
German forward Thomas Muller is often underrated but his presence amongst the elite scorers at the highest level emphasises just how good he really is.
Muller has scored 52 goals so far in 134 Champions League games, all for Bayern Munich and the 32-year-old looks prime to add to the tally with many more years still to play for him.
6. Ruud Van Nistelrooy - 36 goals
Ruud Van Nistelrooy’s prowess in the UEFA Champions League was incredible with 36 goals in 73 games at a 0.77 goal ratio.
The Dutch centre-forward in his days scored 35 goals for Manchester United, 13 goals for Real Madrid and eight more for PSV Eindhoven.
5. Raul Gonzalez - 71 goals
Before the advent of modern football, Spanish striker Raul Gonzalez was considered the peak of Champions League excellence and rightly so with 71 goals in 142 games.
For a while, this was the highest number of goals anyone had scored in this tournament and many believed the record would not be broken but indeed it was after Raul hung up his boots in 2015 even though he last played UCL football in 2012 for Schalke.
3. Karim Benzema - 86 goals
French striker Karim Benzema seemed to find a new level of the game in the 2021/22 UEFA Champions League campaign in which he scored a career-best 15 goals to help Real Madrid lift the trophy.
That took his total tally to 86 goals and counting in 142 games so far, with 12 goals for Lyon and 76 goals for Real Madrid with no signs of stopping.
3. Robert Lewandowski - 86 goals
A true great and icon of the modern game, Polish centre forward Robert Lewandowski has become synonymous with goals in his career, his 0.81 goal ratio in the competition is only better by Alfredo Di Stefano in the top 10.
Lewandowski has so far scored 86 goals in 106 games, 17 goals for Borussia Dortmund and 69 for Bayern Munich, a total which can only increase as the 33-year-old only recently just joined Barcelona.
2. Lionel Messi - 125 goals
Lionel Messi has the third best goal ratio among the elite scorers of the UEFA Champions League with 125 goals in 156 games so far, resulting in 0.80 goals per game only bettered by Alfredo Di Stefano and Robert Lewandowski.
The Argentine wizard scored an astonishing 120 UCL goals for Barcelona and added five more in his first season with PSG and is most likely not done scoring in this competition just yet.
1. Cristiano Ronaldo - 140 goals
There are multiple reasons Cristiano Ronaldo is called “Mr Champions League”, chief of which is his incredible goal record in the competition with 140 goals in 183 games for three different teams.
The Portuguese goal machine has played more games and scored more goals than anyone else in Champions League history so far with 105 of those scored in the white of Real Madrid, 20 for Manchester United and 15 for Juventus.
It remains to be seen if he can add to his tally though as the 37-year-old currently plays for Manchester United who failed to qualify for the 2022/23 edition of the competition.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Logan Ryan won a pair of Super Bowls in New England while playing with Tom Brady, picked off his final pass with the Patriots for a touchdown and has reunited with him on the Buccaneers.
Getting another ring together in Tampa Bay is a clear goal.
“We’ve been in locker rooms together. We’ve been in Super Bowls together. I played in playoff games against him,” Ryan said on the AP Pro Football Podcast. “I miss that competitiveness in practice. What I look forward to right now, competing against him and me getting better, going against him in practice to make me as prepared as I need to be for the season.”
The 31-year-old Ryan, a third-round draft pick by New England in 2013, was a starting cornerback on the 2016 Patriots team that rallied from a 28-3 deficit against Atlanta to win the Super Bowl. He left after that season and spent three years in Tennessee. In an AFC wild-card game at Gillette Stadium on Jan. 4, 2020, Ryan intercepted Brady’s last pass for New England and returned it 9 yards for a score in the final seconds to seal a 20-13 victory.
Ryan doesn’t playfully remind him about that one.
“He has one of those memories where he doesn’t forget it so I don’t have to, but he also knows how to move on pretty quickly, and he moved on and got a Super Bowl after that,” Ryan said. “And I moved on here to do the same. So, it’s just part of our legacy. Tom has been one of my favorite players, one of my favorite teammates, and I’ve always felt like I played my best when I was with him and I played my best against him.
“He demands the best out of you as a competitor going with him and against him. And that’s why I’m excited to get back on his side. We’re not on the field at the same time. So I have to do what I do, which is come out, communicate, lead, demand the best of my teammates, be a great teammate, put my body on the line and make those plays. And it really does take that type of selfless attitude to win championships. It takes that type of bond. And I know me and Tom have a really tight bond and we’re try to bring our two sides together.”
Ryan is one of three former teammates who joined Brady in Tampa during the offseason, along with right guard Shaq Mason and defensive end Akiem Hicks. Brady also lost his pal Rob Gronkowski, who retired.
“I think when you’ve been in the trenches with those guys, you know what they’re all about,” Brady said in June. “I think the more of those guys that you have — that caliber of player that can play at a championship level — the better it is.”
Ryan played both safety spots for the New York Giants over the past two seasons and also took more than 200 snaps as a nickel cornerback. He joins third-year starter Antoine Winfield Jr. and fourth-year man Mike Edwards in the safety room and is excited to work in coach Todd Bowles’ defense.
“What I like the most about it is the aggressiveness and the attention to detail,” Ryan said. “They already told me they’re going to put a lot on me in terms of knowing multiple positions, but also communicating and taking command right away on that defense. Todd played safety as a player, and he’s obviously coached the position as a coordinator and now head coach. So he has high demand and high standards for his safety. So I was obviously brought in for a reason and I don’t take that lightly. I take the responsibility heavy and I want to do a good job with it.”

'It was surreal': Stark Amateur champion Maxwell Moldovan reflects on his first U.S. Open
UNIONTOWN — The only disappointing thing was the result.
When Maxwell Moldovan looks at the big picture, though, he realizes his first U.S. Open is a memory that will last a lifetime.
Moldovan played in golf's third major of 2022 last month in Brookline, Massachusetts. The Green High School graduate and Ohio State junior missed the weekend cut. Still, it was an experience he will never forget.
"It was surreal," Moldovan said Sunday after he won his third Stark Amateur Championship. "I've been telling people it went by faster than I was hoping for, but I felt like I did a good job of trying to soak it in and enjoy every minute of it."
Moldovan qualified for the U.S. Open earlier in June at a sectional qualifying event in Springfield. He tied for third with a 36-hole score of 135, good for 5-under-par. The top eight finishers qualified.
Moldovan shot rounds of 75 and 72 at the U.S. Open, missing the cut by four strokes.
"I didn't play as well as I hoped going into the week, but I learned a lot," Moldovan said. "When I'm playing well, I feel like I can compete with those guys."
Moldovan quickly became a fan favorite with Boston-area spectators. He wore a Jayson Tatum Celtics jersey during a practice round hours before Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
During his practice round, Moldovan played with 2022 Masters champion Scottie Scheffler, the world's No. 1-ranked player.
"I look up to him as a golfer and as a man," Moldovan said. "He talks about his faith in God a lot, which is something I try to do, too. To get to play with a guy I look up to and want to model my career after was really cool."
Moldovan also played with Patrick Reed, who joined the newly formed LIV Golf tour this year.
"He doesn't have the greatest reputation worldwide, but I actually had a really good time playing with him," Moldovan said. "He went out of his way to talk to me and my family. I thought it was really cool to play with him, too."
Moldovan is 31st in the latest world amateur rankings. He won three collegiate events with Ohio State this year and tied for third in this month's North and South Amateur Championship at Pinehurst. His Stark Amateur title was his third in four years.
Moldovan already has his sights set on playing in another U.S. Open.
"The experience was huge," Moldovan said. "I'm really motivated to get back on that stage as soon I can."

This week, the U.K. announced it will host Eurovision 2023, Jeopardy! signed its new official co-hosts, and Beyoncé dropped Renaissance.
Here's what the NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour crew was paying attention to — and what you should check out this weekend.
End It EP, Unpleasant Living
Baltimore hardcore band End It came out with a new EP called Unpleasant Living. It's a very hardcore EP; there's six tracks, and the whole thing is about eight minutes long. It's a kind of vibe that's not really traditional hardcore, as a lot of these bands have been getting praise for implementing different sounds, textures and inspirations.
But this EP is just straight up beatdowns and gang vocals. It feels very classic, but done so well that it's still kind of refreshing. There's one song on it called "Hatekeeper" that I think, from what I can glean from the hardcore vocals that I can only half make out, is almost like a pro-gatekeeper song.
The hardcore scene is going, "You know what? There's a lot of weird Nazi posers in here. We just have to make a stand and say that some people are just not allowed here." I think that's a very defiant stance to take, seeing how open the hardcore scene has been. — Andrew Limbong
J-Hope album, Jack in the Box
J-Hope from BTS is playing at Lollapalooza this weekend and I will not be there, so that's what's making me unhappy. But it is making me happy that he just released his first solo album called Jack in the Box. It's about the myth of Pandora's Box, and it kind of plays on the fact that his stage name is J-Hope. As you know, hope is the last thing in the box.
He's my favorite BTS member, and I actually think — hot take for our BTS listeners — that he is the most criminally underutilized member, especially in the last two years. They've kind of been in their English-language era, and J-Hope is one of the rappers. And since they've gone English, they don't really rap anymore, so he's not really doing anything. But I think he's great.
He's also a fantastic performer and dancer, and that was what really drew me to BTS to begin with. I love dance and media, and he is so lively and a joy to watch. Hopefully there's a livestream this weekend of Lollapalooza, and I will be watching J-Hope make his debut. He's the first Korean artist to headline a major American music festival, and if you want a taste of what he sounds like, my favorite song on his new album is "Arson." — Cyrena Touros
Stray
This video game, Stray, kind of blew up on my timeline over the last weekend, so I checked it out. In this game, you are a kitty, and you are trying to get back to your family in this underground city. People are robots, and there's all kinds of clues that help you figure out what the city is about, and what happened to the humans. But maybe save that for your second or third playthrough, because there will be those.
The game is really about being a kitty, climbing up on stuff, getting the zoomies, sneaking past security cameras, rubbing up on some random robot's leg, and knocking cans of paint off shelves to get to the next level... or sometimes just to be a jerk. There's a button you can press to meow. Doesn't serve any purpose. You just meow. That's just your vibe.
It is completely on rails in terms of where you go and how you get there. So it's not a true 3D platformer, thank God, because you don't have to spend time lining up and timing every jump perfectly. And it's not a long game, so you'll get through it in an afternoon.
Look, I'm a dog person, but if you're a cat person, I suspect you're going to get a whole other level of satisfaction from this game. Now available for PlayStation and Windows. — Glen Weldon
Joni Mitchell at the Newport Folk Festival
Imagine being at a festival, and all of a sudden, you have a nice surprise waiting for you. A legend — and I don't use that word lightly — who has not performed a full concert in more than 20 years just pops up and you get to witness it live. It did not happen to me, but I wish it had.
I was on the internet the other day and saw that this past weekend at the Newport Folk Festival, Joni Mitchell did her first full-on concert since 2000 alongside Brandi Carlile, who brought her out to sing. I did not watch the whole thing yet, but I saw the clips and her performance of "Both Sides Now," and man oh man, watch this and try not to weep at the end of it.
First of all, Joni Mitchell looks great. She suffered a brain aneurysm a few years ago and she's been recovering ever since. And here she was on stage with her little beret on. She just looked happy, and the phrasing is still all there in the way she sings. Her voice is deeper and a little richer, and it's really beautiful to see.
Her having that chance on stage made the people with her very emotional. Brandi Carlile looked like she was about to cry. You should definitely check it out, and I'm going to go back and watch the rest of the clips that are online because it moved me so much. I'm happy Joni still gets to have those moments. — Aisha Harris
More recommendations from the Pop Culture Happy Hour newsletter
by Linda Holmes
A short version of an ABC promo from 1980 has been circulating this week, but the long version is worth seeking out as an amazing celebrity-spotting exercise. (Find the young Tom Hanks!)
I've really been riveted by the podcast Project Unabom, which (as you might expect) is about the Unabomber case. It has exactly the interviews you would want to hear, making for a well-told story that's both fascinating and very sad.
Sam Sanders isn't just a "friend of the podcast" — he's a "dear friend of the podcast." He has a new show over at Vulture called Into It, and you'd be making a grave mistake to miss out.

How Antidepressants Work To Treat Depression Symptoms
Even though a new study has said that serotonin levels are not linked to depression, antidepressants have a proven track record of helping depression symptoms.
A recent study found inconsistent evidence linking the neurotransmitter serotonin to depression. In an article for The Conversation, the authors of the study concluded that it is impossible to say that taking SSRI antidepressants is worthwhile. But is it safe to conclude that serotonin is not involved in depression or that modern antidepressants aren't helpful in treating the condition?
Depression is a common and serious life-limiting condition. Low mood and loss of enjoyment are its core symptoms, but many unique symptom combinations can lead to a diagnosis. Two people with depression can have very different symptoms.
The roots of depression are varied and people can have very different reasons for their symptoms. Psychological trauma is a well-established risk factor. And inflammation is increasingly recognised as a likely cause in many research studies.
Many genetic factors have also been identified, each with a very small effect. There are probably thousands of small genetic effects with each person having an almost unique combination that can increase the risk of depression.
These risk factors explain why some people get depression more often than others, but multiple risk factors are often reported by people with depression, and it is not usually possible to conclude which – if any – led to their symptoms.
Depression, like many conditions defined chiefly by its symptoms, is unlikely to be a single condition with a simple set of discrete causes. Similarly, it is unlikely that there would be a single therapy or drug that would treat all people effectively. But the diverse symptoms and risk factors underlying depression do not mean we lack effective treatments.
Antidepressants were discovered initially by repurposing a drug used to treat tuberculosis, with little understanding of its effects on the brain.
Initial research revealed that antidepressants increased the quantity of serotonin and noradrenaline in the brain. These findings formed the basis of a theory of depression, known as the monoamine hypothesis, which suggests that insufficient levels of these neurotransmitters are an underlying mechanism of depression that can be corrected with antidepressants.
This simplistic explanation of depression and its treatment has been met with conflicting data and justifiable scepticism, and several alternative theories of depression and antidepressants have been proposed.
For more than a decade, few researchers and health professionals would refer to depression as a simple "chemical imbalance". Yet it would be unwise to dismiss the role of serotonin entirely, as there remains some evidence for its involvement in depression. Although limited access to living human brain tissue means that direct confirmation of serotonin's role in depression is difficult.
Our limited understanding of both depression and antidepressant treatment has led the authors of the abovementioned study to question whether antidepressants are a helpful approach to treatment. These critiques are not new, but they incorrectly imply that an understanding of the mechanism is necessary for effective treatment.
In contrast, the cornerstone for identifying effective treatments is the randomised controlled trial (the gold standard of clinical research), which has been widely applied to the study of antidepressants and psychotherapies. This type of study can reliably tell us whether a treatment works or not – even if we have no idea why the treatment is effective.
Beyond reasonable doubt
Randomised controlled trials of thousands of depressed people have shown beyond reasonable doubt that antidepressant drugs are effective in depression. Studies of people with depression treated with antidepressants can also provide important information on how treatments deliver their benefits and may in future provide important information on why some people respond more than others.
Conditions defined largely by their symptoms are difficult to research and treat, but this has not prevented the development of effective treatments.
Depression is usually managed effectively with antidepressants or by talking treatments, such as cognitive behaviour therapy, despite an incomplete understanding of the condition and how these treatments work.
We cannot know if treatments address the underlying problem because we haven't yet identified what that is. To imply that SSRI antidepressants may not be worthwhile is to misunderstand an evidence base that says the very opposite.
Steadily, we are beginning to understand more about the causes of depression and identify subtypes, or "depressions", that have more specific mechanisms and treatments.
Our understanding of depression and its treatment has been advancing for more than a century and shows no signs of slowing. Identifying the causes and new treatments for depression is difficult but essential if we are to address one of the most common causes of disability worldwide.

Where was the Mega Millions winning ticket sold?
THE attractive cash reward of the Mega Millions lottery - which sometimes topples $1BILLION - motivates many people to run out and purchase a ticket.
The Mega Millions jackpot, announced July 29, 2022, was the nation’s third-largest lottery prize of all time.
Where was the winning Mega Millions ticket sold?
The winning numbers for the Mega Millions jackpot were 13, 36, 45, 57, and 67. The Mega Ball is 14. The Megaplier was 2x.
It was announced on Friday, July 29, 2022.
According to the Illinois Lottery, one ticket in Illinois won the second-largest Mega Millions jackpot, which was estimated to be worth $1.28billion, during Friday night's drawing.
The winning ticket was sold at the Speedy Cafe Speedway gas station on East Touhy Avenue in Des Plaines, Illinois.
However, the lottery winner's identity has not been revealed as of the time of writing.
In some instances, lotto winners prefer to maintain their anonymity - though this is only permitted in 11 states across the country.
What are people saying about the winner?
Ohio Lottery Director Pat McDonald, who serves as Lead Director for the Mega Millions Consortium, said in a statement on the lottery’s website: “We are thrilled to have witnessed one of the biggest jackpot wins in Mega Millions history.
Most read in Money
“We’re eager to find out who won and look forward to congratulating the winner soon!”
How does the winner claim the prize?
The $1.28billion prize is for winners who choose the annuity option.
The annuity option means the total amount is paid yearly over 29 years.
However, if the winner decides to take the cash option, the estimated amount will be $747.2million.
According to the Illinois Lottery, the store that sold the winning ticket will also receive a half million dollars just for selling the ticket.
It should also be noted that the Mega Millions is coordinated by state lotteries. | https://www.the-sun.com/money/5893905/where-was-mega-millions-sold-july-2022/ | 2022-07-30T15:22:20Z | https://www.the-sun.com/money/5893905/where-was-mega-millions-sold-july-2022/ | true | 1 |

City’s one billion pound regeneration projects explained
Richard Youle, local democracy reporter
One billion is a number which crops up in speeches and press releases from the leader of Swansea Council, Rob Stewart, from time to time.
It’s the amount of public and private money flowing into projects in the city, he has said.
The Local Democracy Reporting Service asked for a breakdown of this £1 billion, and whether the projects involved were public, private and under way or planned.
Here are the projects, in descending order of value:
Project name? Shaping Swansea, which comprises plans to regenerate seven plots of land: the Civic Centre site, Swansea Central North – land north of Oystermouth Road from St David’s multi-storey car park up towards St Mary’s Church, riverside land in St Thomas near the northernmost Tawe bridge, land at the Hafod-Morfa Copperworks site, the Sailbridge site between East Burrows Road and the rear of Sainsbury’s, maritime quarter land next to the former Marina Towers Observatory, and a plot on Oxford Street which has a car park.
Cost and funding source? £750 million is the estimated value of all the sites once operational. Project to be substantially funded by the private sector. Regeneration company Urban Splash appointed as the council’s development partner.
Is it being built yet? No, the council said early proposals were being drawn up in more detail and that the public would have a chance to help shape the final plans. It looks likely that Swansea Central North, the Civic Centre – potentially featuring an interactive aquarium – and the St Thomas riverside site will be the frontrunners. Shaping Swansea is two decade-long project.
Project name? Copr Bay, comprising Swansea Arena, the adjacent coastal park, parking underneath, the yellow bridge across Oystermouth Road and flats and commercial units the other side.
Cost and funding source? The £135 million cost has required £96 million of council borrowing at low interest rates. This will be paid back over 40 years, with total borrowing costs just under £173 million. Funding will also come from the sale of the flats, a Welsh Government loan, and a contribution via the city deal for the Swansea Bay City Region.
Is it being built yet? Yes, the arena, coastal park and bridge are complete but there is still work to do on the remaining elements, although the flats will be handed over very shortly to social housing provider Pobl Group.
Project name? Mariner Street student development, featuring a 17-storey tower and 780 bed spaces opposite Swansea railway station. Has a courtyard and ground floor commercial space.
Cost and funding source? £50 million private sector project.
Is it being built yet? Yes, and the project has been completed.
Project name? 71/72 The Kingsway, featuring modern office space, a roof terrace and greenery at the former Oceana nightclub site. It will link through to Oxford Street, and is expected to provide space for 600 jobs.
Cost and funding source? The £40 million cost, said the council, is coming from the city deal, with support from the European regional development fund through the Welsh Government.
Is it being built yet? Yes, construction company Bouygues UK has been appointed and work is under way. The council hopes the building will be open next year.
Project name? Skyline, an adventure park featuring gondola rides up Kilvey Hill – most likely from land at Landore – with luge runs, zip lines, a sky swing and hill-top viewing platform.
Cost and funding source? Skyline is a private sector project put forward by New Zealand-based Skyline Enterprises but the council said the £38 million scheme cost could, if approved, include Welsh Government and council contributions.
Is it being built yet? No. Skyline Enterprises said in March that it was in the final stages of due diligience and that it aimed for the visitor attraction to open in 2025.
Project name? Biophilic Living – derived from biopilia, which means love of nature. A new building replacing the former Woolworth’s store on Oxford Street incorporating 44 upper floor flats and an “urban farm”, with commercial space underneath and below that retail and educational/exhibition areas. Its highest section will be 12 storeys.
Cost and funding source? £20 million, funded by Hacer Developments with support via the Welsh Government’s innovate housing programme grant scheme. Hacer Development’s managing director Carwyn Davies said the Welsh Government had been “absolutely brilliant”.
Is it being built yet? Yes, work got under way several months ago and the foundations are in. The aim is for completion towards the end of next year.
Project name? Kingsway upgrade, resulting in the one-way city centre street reverting back to two-way, wider pavements, more seating and greenery. Orchard Street and Christina Street also underwent changes.
Cost and funding source? £12 million, funded by the council with support from the European regional development fund through the Welsh Government.
Is it being built yet? Yes, the project is complete. It took longer than planned due to the original construction company going into administration.
Project name? Castle Square Gardens. The largely stone square will have more trees than currently, with lawned areas, flowerbeds and a water jet feature. There will be two commercial buildings, which could both be divided in two and have cafe or retail use with outside seating.
Cost and funding source? £10 million, to be funded by the council and Welsh Government.
Is it being built yet? No, a planning application is due to be submitted this year, and the council has said the new-look square could be up and running in late 2023.
Project name? Palace Theatre restoration. Major piece of work to rescue what was until recently a privately-owned listed building from further dereliction. Will result in modern office accommodation.
Cost and funding source? £8.5 million, paid for by the council with support from the European regional development fund and via the Welsh Government’s transforming towns programme.
Is it being built yet? Yes, the restoration is under way and the project is due for completion early to mid-2023.
Project name? Albert Hall restoration. The derelict building on the corner of Craddock Street and De-La-Beche Street will be turned into a live music venue, with office and business space also in the mix.
Cost and funding source? £8m from the private sector.
Is it being built yet? Yes, work is under way.
Project name? Hafod Morfa Copperworks. Restoration of old buildings at the former industrial site by the River Tawe, not far from the Swansea.com Stadium, and the creation of a Penderyn whisky distillery and visitor attraction.
Cost and funding source? £7.5 million, funded by the council, National Lottery heritage fund and Welsh Government’s transforming towns programme.
Is it being built yet? Yes, restoration well under way. The council said Penderyn aims to open its attraction by spring next year.
Project name? Wind Street upgrade. The city’s party street is now pedestrianised, and has more outdoor dining and seating space and more greenery.
Cost and funding source? £3 million, paid for by the council with support from Welsh Government’s targeted regeneration initiative.
Is it being built yet? Yes, the upgrade has concluded.
Project name? Swansea Market. A new market garden area at the indoor market, plus upgraded toilets.
Cost and funding source? £439,000, funded by the council.
Is it being built yet? Yes, the market garden and toilet work has been carried out, and the council said new entrances and improved wi-fi were planned.
Unprecedented regeneration
Cllr Stewart said much had already been achieved to boost Swansea’s economy, create jobs and raise the city’s profile.
He added: “This is a time of unprecedented regeneration in Swansea, with major public and private sector investment transforming our city into one of the UK’s best places to live, work, study and visit.”
Carwyn Davies, managing director of Hacer Developments, which is behind the Biophilic Living building on Oxford Street, said investors wanted to see Swansea improve and that public sector-led projects like the new arena were key drivers in raising land values.
Mr Davies said sites which grew in value became “viable investment opportunities”. He added: “I’d also stress it has to be a partnership between the public and private sectors.”
Dynamism
A Swansea-based developer who has seen the city’s fortunes ebb and flow since the 1960s said he felt the regeneration over the last five years or so was on a greater scale than anything over the last 20 years.
“It has taken Rob (Stewart) time, but these things do take time,” said the man, who asked not to be named. “He has injected a new dynamism into the city that I don’t think it has seen since the 70s. We had lost our way.
“It’s just a shame that we haven’t got the 10 or so construction companies that we used to have.”
He added: “The Skyline development would open a whole new dynamic for the city.”
The projects listed above have a total value of £1.18 billion, and don’t include the new library and community hub building at the former BHS store in Oxford Street, a number of purpose-built student accommodation schemes, the proposed Blue Eden battery, housing and lagoon project, or the planned Swansea Bay and West Wales Metro.
The Labour administration’s level of borrowing to fund Copr Bay has come under scrutiny at times, and it remains to be seen how much of the Shaping Swansea programme comes to fruition, but the city is clearly undergoing a significant period of change.

Remco Evenepoel kicks for huge solo win at Clásica San Sebastián
Tadej Pogačar popped off the back at around 62km to go as Evenepoel roars to second victory in tough Basque race.
Don't miss a moment from Paris-Roubaix and Unbound Gravel, to the Giro d’Italia, Tour de France, Vuelta a España, and everything in between when you join Outside+.
Remco Evenepoel did what Remco Evenepoel does by delivering another long solo victory at the Clásica San Sebastián.
Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl’s young ace squeezed away from the peloton at around 45 kilometers to go and never looked back as he time trialed to his second win in the bumpy Spanish Basque classic.
Pavel Sivakov (Ineos Grenadiers) and Tiesj Benoot (Jumbo-Visma) went two-three on the podium, more than two minutes back.
Evenepoel made long-range race-winning raids a trademark through his young career, most recently at his marquee victory in Liège-Bastoge-Liège. An hour-long solo Saturday adds to the list of impressive feats in the 22-year-old’s already prolific career.
The Belgian used the Clásica as a springboard into the Vuelta a España, where he said he’s hoping to win at least a stage, with the GC not a main priority at the start of the race.
Tour de France star Tadej Pogačar was dropped under the searing pace set by Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl on the Jaizkibel climb and never saw the action in what was his first race after finishing second in Paris.
Pogačar will now reboot for a month before rebuilding for road worlds in September.
A nine-rider move went clear soon after the flag.
Théo Delacroix (Intermarché-Wanty), Manuele Boaro (Astana-Qazaqstan), Casper Pedersen, Martijn Tusveld (both DSM), Eugenio Sánchez (Kern Pharma), Jon Barrenetxea (Caja Rural), Ibai Azurmendi (Euskaltel-Euskadi), Óscar Cabedo (Burgos BH) and Fabian Grellier (TotalEnergies) punched away on drying roads after morning rain and built out a three minute gap.
The break seemed doomed to fail and broke down in the middle of the race as the bunch kept them on a close leash.
Quick-Step on the front, Pogačar off the back on the Jaizkibel
A hot pace by Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl on the slopes of the iconic Jaizkibel climb reeled in the break extra-early as it looked to let Evenepoel loose for his second victory in this race.
Meanwhile Pogačar yo-yo’d on and off the other end of the peloton and looked to be decisively dropped at around 62km to go. UAE-Emirates saw more drama soon afterward when co-captain João Almeida crashed in the downhill.

The smooth tarmac and winding descents of the Basque country made for a descender’s dream and Matej Mohorič (Bahrain-Victorious) looked to light things up on the way down the Jaizkibel.
Evenepoel squeezes away from the bunch, pulls away from Yates
Quick-Step soon reeled in the Slovenian and set the tone for things to come as the race roared into its final hour.
Rather than a huge rocketing attack, Evenepoel simply squeezed the pace until he rode away from the peloton when the race hit the Erlaitz climb at 45km to go. Simon Yates (BikeExchnge-Jayco) latched to his wheel and the two drilled clear.
Benoot, Sivakov, Carlos Rodríguez (Ineos Grenadiers) and Bauke Mollema (Trek-Segafredo) bunched up to lead the chase behind the two leaders.
Evenepoel pushed the pace again and rode Yates off his wheel after the two rode tandem for just a few minutes.
The young Belgian topped the Erlaitz with only a slim gap but extended his advantage to around a minute before he started a long TT through the valley toward the leg-breaker slopes of the Murgil climb.
One vs two in final time trial to the line
Yates dropped back to the four chasers after Evenepoel rode away from him.
Rather than forming a fivesome with Yates and Co., Ineos Grenadiers duo Sivakov and Rodríguez went on a two-up chase after Quick-Step ace.
Evenepeoel used his TT talent and bent-inbars to the max in the roads toward the final climb. The 22-year-old hit the short, steep Murgil with a little more than one minute of a gap as he held off the two-up chase.

The 20 percent slopes of the Murgil didn’t slow down a rampaging Evenepoel as he kept on churning all the way to emphatic victory in downtown San Sebastian.
Evenepoel had so much of a gap he eased off the accelerator at around one kilometer to go as he relished his second victory after first winning in 2019.
Sivakov rode away from Ineos teammate Rodríguez on the Murgil before Mollema and then Benoot overhauled the Spaniard in the chase for third.

SHARON HILL — On Friday, the borough council released a redacted independent investigation evaluating the Sharon Hill Police Department policies and procedures on the use of force in light of the death of 8-year-old Fanta Bility.
Sixteen pages in total were blacked out as were portions of 12 other pages in the 54-page report. The 17 recommendations that the report presented to Sharon Hill Borough Council as a result of its findings and the assessment of the borough police department’s training and policies were also redacted.
In September, Sharon Hill Borough Council unanimously hired Kelley Hodge and her firm, Fox-Rothschild LLP, to conduct an independent investigation surrounding the policies and procedures surrounding the Aug. 21 shooting in which 8-year-old Fanta Bility was shot and killed as she and her family left an Academy Park High School football game. Bility’s sister and two other citizens were also shot and injured.
Hodge, a former Philadelphia District Attorney who has been nominated to be a United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, and her team completed the report in June.
The Bility family and at least one community organization criticized the release of the redacted report, calling on all of it to be made public.
Bruce L. Castor Jr., the attorney representing the family, released the following statement after the report was released.
“The undated and redacted report made public today by Sharon Hill Borough is an insult to the memory of Fanta and completely unacceptable in any society that values the truth and the Rule of Law,” it read. “The heavily edited report raises more questions in the minds of the family and the public than it answers.
“Fanta’s legal counsel and family members will have more to say on the report after taking several days to study it,” the family statement continued. “That Sharon Hill Borough officials chose to hide from the public those portions detrimental to itself and the conduct of its officials in the training and supervision of its police department, speaks loudly to Sharon Hill’s knowledge of its own guilt in connection with Fanta’s death.
“The government of Sharon Hill exists to protect and serve the public, but its officials think it exists to protect serve them. The redactions after having had the report for weeks (or months) is a shameful and outrageous demonstration that Sharon Hill Borough’s officials are not interested in providing the truth to the public as a beginning point to heal the community. Sharon Hill’s only interest is in delay.”
Castor asked what is beneath the blacked-out portions of the report.
“What is contained behind those black bars in the report?” the statement read. “What else could there be apart from a professional assessment of the ineptitude of the training, policies, procedures and supervision given to the Sharon Hill Police Department in the use of deadly force?”
The statement concluded that more will be learned.
“The world will eventually learn how Sharon Hill Borough officials failed to make certain its police trained under realistic scenarios and understood fully when deadly force is permitted under the law and when it is not,” the family statement concluded. “That, and so much more, is what Sharon Hill Borough officials are hiding now from Fanta’s family and from the community at large. It is time for the community to have its voice heard. It is time to demand the truth about the police killing Fanta.”
Others also criticized the report released to the public Friday.
“The Bility family and the public had to wait a month and a half for this report, but the actions of the borough demonstrates nothing but faulty behavior,” said Dyamond Gibbs, president of social activist group UDTJ (Understanding, Devotion, Take action, Justice).
“There is no way to deny that Sharon Hill Borough is at fault and there is a reason that this information is no longer included,” she continued. “Rules have been broken and policies and procedures have been violated. There should not be a cover-up for this. Little to no answers came out of this report because of Sharon Hill’s lack of accountability and responsibility to provide transparency to the public, and more importantly the Bility family.
“Taxpayers of Sharon Hill paid for this report, and therefore the public should have access to the original. We will be taking action to demand responsibility, accountability, and access to the original report. This is unacceptable!”
Borough officials said the goal of the report is to “provide measurable information that can guide future planning, training, and resource allocation with the ultimate goal to ensure that the events of August 27, 2021, do not happen again.”
Council also identified that it wanted to ensure that going forward, the Sharon Hill Police Department adopted and implemented the best practices available regarding the use of force and any other relevant policies and procedures, including community policing.
These investigators were asked to identify deficiencies that existed in police policy, training or the execution, which resulted in injury or death to citizens based on an officer’s use of force.
Entitled “Investigation of the Sharon Hill Police Department Polices and Procedures Following the Academy Park High School Shooting on August 27, 2021,” the 54-page document outlined the investigation, which looked at the use-of-force policies in effect at the time of the shooting and use of force trainings implemented at the time of the shooting. It also looked at officer training of responsiveness to critical incidents, such as an active shooter.
The analysis compared Sharon Hill Police Department’s use of force policies with the policies of the Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Springfield, Norristown and Lower Merion police departments. It evaluated a 422-page document titled “Sharon Hill Police Department Policies and Procedures,” produced by Sharon Hill Police Chief Richard Herron.
The investigators also gathered national and state law enforcement resource agency reports from the U.S. Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Municipal Police Officers Education and Training Commission.
They also interviewed Sharon Hill borough police officers. The report said not all borough police officers were able to participate in this investigation, due to to their participation in the grand jury investigation on the matter.
One of the findings was that the Sharon Hill Police Department does not reflect the diversity of the community it serves. The Hodge report noted that 71.1% of Sharon Hill’s 5,712 residents are Black or African American; 21.2% are white; 2.1% are Asian; and a little over 5% are another race or of mixed races.
The borough police department is comprised of all male officers who are predominantly white, according to the report.
On Aug. 27, there were 19 active officers. As of June 6, according to the Hodge report, there are 13 active officers.
Regarding the use of force, the Hodge Report referred to the Sharon Hill Police Department Policy Manual, which states, “A Police Officer will never employ unnecessary force or violence and will use such force in the discharge of their duty as is reasonable in all circumstances. The use of force should be used only with the greatest restraint and only after discussion, negotiation and persuasion have been found to be inappropriate or ineffective. While the use of force is occasionally unavoidable, every Police Offices (sic) will refrain from the unnecessary infliction of pain or suffering and will never engage in cruel, degrading or inhuman treatment of any person.”
The report also looked at 60 of the directives in the policy manual.
One that the investigators highlighted stated that “Officer should not discharge any firearm at or from a moving vehicle, except as the ultimate measure of self-defense or defense of another, when the suspect is using deadly force by means other than the vehicle.”
The directive allowing for deadly force says it can be used by police officers “if it is necessary to prevent the arrest from being defeated by resistance or escape and … (t)he person to be arrested has committed or attempted a forcible felony, or is attempting to escape and possesses a deadly weapon, or otherwise indicates that he will endanger human life or inflict serious bodily injury unless arrested without delay.”
Among the things to be considered by a borough police officer when using deadly force, according to the report, is the accuracy of his information and the danger to innocent bystanders.
“Officers are prohibited from discharging firearms when it appears likely that an innocent person may be injured,” the report quoted a Sharon Hill police policy directive.
Regarding training, Sharon Hill police officers must successfully complete the Pennsylvania Municipal Police Officer Basic Training Program, which includes two modules — “Firearms” and “Laws and Criminal Procedures” — on the use of deadly force. In these, cadets learn legal issues with use of force, how to de-escalate situations and participate in a stress shooting course.
In addition, certified police officers must qualify with their duty weapon each year.
The incident from which this report stemmed began at the end of a football game last year.
On Aug. 21, as the crowd was exiting an Academy Park High School football game, 18-year-old Hasein Strand of the 500 block of Felton Street in Collingdale and Angelo “AJ” Ford, 16, of the first block of High Street in Sharon Hill got into a verbal dispute and Ford allegedly flashed a gun at Strand.
Ford then allegedly opened fire in the area of the 900 block of Coates Street, shooting at Strand five times and Strand allegedly returned fire twice. Officials have said Ford and Strand are members of rival gangs.
Both Strand and Ford were initially charged with first-degree murder under the legal theory of “transferred intent.” Those charges have been withdrawn.
Strand pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and possession of a firearm and was sentenced to three to six years in prison. Ford escaped from a juvenile placement facility in February and continues to be sought by law enforcement.
According to the Hodge report and preliminary findings of the Delaware County District Attorney, the gunfire in the area of 900 block of Coates Street also included a shot in the direction of three Sharon Hill police officers monitoring the crowd exiting the football stadium and also struck and injured a civilian.
In response, the officers discharged 25 rounds of their service weapons and one of those shots, according to the District Attorney, was the one that killed Fanta.
The Hodge report also noted that Sharon Hill police officers Vincent Procopio and John Scanlan, immediately attended to Fanta Bility after she was shot and transported her in a patrol vehicle to Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital, where she was pronounced dead at 9:25 p.m.
This past week, defense attorneys for the three former Sharon Hill police officers — Devon Smith, 34, Sean Patrick Dolan, 25 and Brian James Devaney, 41 — sought to have the manslaughter charges dismissed for their clients.
Smith, Dolan ad Devaney are each charged with one count of voluntary manslaughter and involuntary manslaughter, as well as 10 counts of each of reckless endangerment.
All three were firing the same type of weapon and the fragment recovered from the fatal shot was unable to be positively matched to any specific officer, according to testimony at the preliminary hearing.
Common Pleas Court Judge Margaret Amoroso has scheduled another hearing in September on the dismissal request, but may issue a ruling earlier.
In the report, it states that borough officials see this as a start.
“For Borough Council,” the report stated, “this Investigation is not the end, but the beginning of its ongoing effort to ensure the (Sharon Hill Police Department) is employing the best practices to protect the community.” | https://www.dailylocal.com/2022/07/29/sharon-hill-releases-redacted-hodge-report-investigation-fanta-bility-shooting/ | 2022-07-30T15:51:53Z | https://www.dailylocal.com/2022/07/29/sharon-hill-releases-redacted-hodge-report-investigation-fanta-bility-shooting/ | false | 7 |

Earlier this year, Von Miller was put in a tough spot. With his deal concluded, he needed to decide where he was going to play out the rest of his career. Many knew the linebacker had interest in the Los Angeles Rams, Dallas Cowboys, and Buffalo Bills. However, he ultimately decided to leave sunny Los Angeles for snowy Buffalo.
In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda's Ian Van Roy, General Manager Les Snead revealed that both the Rams' and Bills' offers were competitive in terms of salary. The way he understands it, the linebacker ultimately chose to go to Buffalo to chase a unique career accomplishment. Here's how he put it:
"You know, at the end of the day, I think the money was really close. And in, you know, both contracts were very good, you know, Buffalo beat us in some areas, and we beat Buffalo in some areas."
He went on to express that he hated losing the pass rusher:
"So, at the end of the day, I can't truly [answer] that. But I do think Von has mentioned that may be trying to win a third Super Bowl with a third team. I don't know if anybody's ever done that. So that was maybe something that influenced him, but hate to see him go."
Von Miller's tumultuous 2020s
Outside of Tom Brady, some believe Von Miller has had the second-most up-and-down run since the calendar hit 2020. According to Pro Football Reference, it started in early 2020 when the star pass rusher became one of the first players in the NFL to contract COVID-19.
While he was able to escape the sickness, he wasn't able to escape a season-ending ankle injury.
The injury sidelined him for the entire 2020 season. In 2021, with new general manager George Paton now with the team, there was pressure for the team to perform. However, with a sluggish record near the midpoint of the season, the Broncos became sellers. Miller was traded to the Los Angeles Rams.
The pass rusher joined one of the hottest teams in the league and in many minds, pushed the team over the top as Super Bowl favorites. Of course, the team eventually did win the Super Bowl in the pass rusher's contract year, setting him up well for his next deal.
The next deal came with the Buffalo Bills and according to Spotrac, Miller could earn up to $120 million before it ends after the 2027 season.

DORTMUND, Germany (AP) — Borussia Dortmund striker Sébastien Haller needs chemotherapy treatment because his testicular tumor was found to be malignant, the club said Saturday.
“Sébastien will now receive the best possible treatment. The chances of recovery are very good,” Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl said. “We wish him and his family a lot of strength and optimism, and our thoughts are with him during this difficult time.”
The club said Haller will miss “several months” but that it will not be releasing any further medical information on the player’s condition.
The 28-year-old Haller joined Dortmund from Ajax for 31 million euros ($31.5 million) on July 6 but had to leave a preseason training camp 12 days later for treatment and an operation after the tumor was found.
Haller was signed as a replacement for Erling Haaland after the Norwegian joined Manchester City.
Kehl previously said existing Dortmund players like Netherlands international Donyell Malen, Germany forward Karim Adeyemi and the 17-year-old Youssoufa Moukoko could help fill in for Haller’s absence.
Malen and Adeyemi both scored in Dortmund’s 3-0 win at 1860 Munich in the first round of the German Cup on Friday.

ISTANBUL: Russia’s Rosatom has awarded TSM Enerji the contract to undertake the remaining construction work at the $20 billion nuclear power plant it is building in Akkuyu in southern Turkey, the company said on Saturday.
Akkuyu Nukleer, a Rosatom subsidiary that is building four reactors at the site on the Mediterranean, said it had signed the engineering, procurement and construction contract with TSM after terminating its agreement with Turkish firm IC Ictas.
TSM is owned by three Russia-based companies, according to the Turkish trade registry.
“All works under current subcontracts will be transferred to TSM … Similar new contracts will be signed between TSM and subcontractors,” Akkuyu Nukleer said in a statement, without saying why the IC Ictas agreement had been terminated.
Construction starts on Egypt’s first, Russian-built nuclear plant
It said the contract with TSM would ensure work was completed by previously agreed dates and that workers were paid on time.
The Turkish government aims to start operating the first reactor at the total 4,800-megawatt (MW) plant before a general election next year.
President Tayyip Erdogan has previously suggested that Turkey could work with Russia on the construction of two further plants.

The plant is expected to produce up to 10% of the country’s electricity once all four reactors are in operation. | https://www.brecorder.com/news/40189128/russias-rosatom-signs-new-construction-contract-for-turkish-nuclear-plant | 2022-07-30T16:13:47Z | https://www.brecorder.com/news/40189128/russias-rosatom-signs-new-construction-contract-for-turkish-nuclear-plant | true | 3 |
Our panel of 100 influential leaders discusses the most important issues affecting you.
Wael Barsoum, M.D., president and CTO, Healthcare Outcomes Performance Co.
Last week: The Biden administration is expected to declare monkeypox a public health emergency in the upcoming days. The decision would allow access to increased funding and new personnel to fight the international outbreak. The first case of monkeypox was confirmed in the U.S. on May 18. As of Wednesday, there are approximately 4,639 confirmed cases throughout the country. The potential declaration comes as nearly 800,000 doses of the monkeypox vaccine will soon be available for distribution. The virus is believed to be primarily spread through skin-on-skin contact.
Looking ahead: Last Thursday, Amazon announced that it has entered an agreement to acquire primary health care company One Medical in an all-cash deal valued at approximately $3.9 billion. One Medical is a membership-based primary care service that promises customers “24/7 access to virtual care.” The acquisition is just the latest example of the tech giant expanding its footprint in the health care industry. Amazon acquired PillPack, an online pharmacy, in 2018 and then later launched its own digital pharmacy in the United States. With the One Medical deal, Amazon would gain access to physical health clinics and potentially payer and hospital system relationships. Shares for 1life Healthcare (ONEM), the parent company of One Medical, surged more than 65% in early trading Thursday after the announcement.
Kathleen Cannon, president, United Way of Broward County
Last week: In 2020, one in every five adults experienced a mental illness. Our country is facing a huge gap in accessible mental health services. This is why the new 988 number is critical. This quick and easy-to-remember number will connect people who are suicidal or in any other mental health crisis to a trained mental health professional. These trained professionals will provide support and connect the callers to resources. I want you to know it’s OK to not be OK – call 988 and share the number with your loved ones who are struggling.
Angelo Castillo, commissioner, Pembroke Pines
Last week: Kudos to the Federal Reserve for raising interest rates yet again to combat inflation and to efforts that have resulted in significant reductions. Yes, it should have been done earlier, and lower gas prices at the pump is more good news. Sure, more can be done to make gas cheaper and to offset the possibility of a recession, but I think we must give credit where it is due. Gas pricing is an important factor in pricing of goods and services. Interest rate hikes are known to chill sharp escalations in prices, and it provides better returns on savings accounts. We still have a strong economy and a strong jobs market with rising salaries. The appropriate steps are being taken on inflation. Now, if we could only get the home insurance crisis in Florida under control.
Looking ahead: Cities across America are having great difficulty recruiting police officers. It is not uncommon to find significant shortages of willing and able candidates to replace retiring cops. In Broward, it is a problem most cities struggle to offset through increasingly creative hiring approaches and incentives. Still, the shortages are real. I sense the need to ascribe greater seriousness to this concern before lack of sworn police personnel to patrol our communities becomes critical. I’m doing my part to encourage greater attention placed on finding ways to recruit and retain police staffing necessary to ensure our public safety. And yes, a career in law enforcement remains among the most important disciplines in all of public service. We need more cops.
Richard Clark, CEO, Clark Leadership Consulting
Looking ahead: Are Americans ready for a third-party candidate for president? Many may recall Illinois Republican Congressman John B. Anderson who unsuccessfully challenged the two-party candidates in 1980. If a third-party candidate is elected, will the two-party loyalists risk their own futures supporting an agenda in the Congress? We live in an emotionally charged and historically divided nation today. The intense quest to control the Congress, the White House and ultimately the Supreme Court is insatiable. As has been said, our democracy is an experiment. Let’s see how this will unfold.
Michael De Lucca, president, Broward Regional Health Planning Council, Inc.
Last week: Last week, some Floridians began receiving $450 checks in the mail from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. This is not a scam – it’s real! The one-time payment is part of an initiative called “Hope Florida – A Pathway to Prosperity.” First Lady Casey DeSantis held a roundtable discussion in Tampa and announced that this initiative is for foster families, adoptive families and single mothers. The $35.5 million in DeSantis’ budget will support nearly 59,000 Florida families with this one-time payment of $450 per child. The dollars are from a budget that supports those served by child welfare.
Looking ahead: The Florida 2022 Back-to-School Sales Tax Holiday begins Monday, ends on Aug. 7 — don’t miss out! Some items that are exempt from the sales tax include certain clothing, footwear and accessories selling for $100 or less per item, certain school supplies selling for $50 or less per item, learning aids and jigsaw puzzles with a sales price of $30 or less and personal computers and related accessories purchases for noncommercial home or personal use with a sales price of $1,500 or less. To see a full detailed list of all items included in the sales tax holiday, visit floridarevenue.com/backtoschool.
Dr. Michael Dennis, chair, FAU Schmidt College of Medicine
Last week: As if the COVID pandemic has not been disastrous enough, the world is now "going ape" over the spread of monkeypox, which the World Health Organization identified this week as occurring in 70 countries. And the United States is a major location of that disease. It appears to occur predominantly in the gay and bisexual male population, but everyone is at risk through skin contact. Similar to COVID, vaccinations are critically important for protection, and to date, 56,000 have been released and used. The government has promised to deliver another 1.6 million doses to be available before the end of the year.
Looking ahead: The major political parties consistently fail to reach common ground on substantive issues like climate control, abortion and border security. However, there is collective concern about the influence of long-term elected officials. And there is renewed interest in the concept of a direct democracy where the people decide on policies without any intermediary or representative. In representative democracies, politicians have too much power and stay in office far too long. In direct democracies, public referenda from the people cannot be rejected by the legislative, executive or judicial branches, and only the people can change the Constitution. It works in Switzerland.
Lamar Fisher, vice mayor, Broward County
Last week: Our community has the privilege to host the commission of the U.S. Navy's newest warship, the USS Fort Lauderdale. I’m honored to present a proclamation officially naming Saturday, July 30, 2022, the USS Fort Lauderdale Commission Day. The $1.8 billion ship is the first Navy vessel named after the city and the eighth military vessel commission held at Port Everglades. Many community events celebrated the vessel this week and Broward County is incredibly appreciative for all the men and women who serve in the U.S. military and those who will serve aboard this mighty ship.
Looking ahead: Lobster season is here! Many recreational divers had the opportunity to catch the crustaceans during the annual mini season that is always the last consecutive Wednesday and Thursday in July, which occurred last week. The regular season is just around the corner, starting Aug. 6 and running through March 31. Before heading out to our beautiful ocean, divers should reacclimate themselves with Florida Fish and Wildlife regulations. For more information, visit MyFWC.com.
Dan Gropper, dean, College of Business, Florida Atlantic University
Last week: The latest data indicate that the American economy shrank at an annual rate of just under 1% in the second quarter; added to a decline in the first quarter, this fits the traditional definition of a recession — two consecutive quarters of declining national output, or GDP. However, the unemployment rate remained very low, which is highly unusual in a recession, even while the labor force participation rate also remained low. To get the economy growing and to get a return to prosperity, we need to get workforce participation rates back up to and above pre-pandemic levels, improve energy policy and cut the growing regulatory burden that is being put in place.
Looking ahead: Our English language is being redefined almost daily — recessions are now not recessions, inclusivity is defined to exclude, and equity means different things to different people. This is sometimes amusing, and other times dangerous. Laws may no longer mean what they say, as words are redefined and reinterpreted, and a well-defined legal system is key to a well-functioning economic and political system. Undermining language can be used to undermine our entire economic system, with potentially disastrous consequences.
Marlon A. Hill, of counsel, Weiss Serota Helfman Cole & Bierman, P.L.
Last week: As an engaged citizen, let me say without any reservation that there is nothing wrong or negative with being "woke,” or in other words, "aware,” "informed,” "value-centered” or the like. The mere fact that we are legislating from the desk or the chamber that we are going to start penalizing or criminalizing citizens for living a value-centered life that promotes the greater good should be alarming to all who truly believe in freedom. There is nothing wrong with promoting freedom, but not at the cost of using a sword to eliminate any thought you dislike.
Jason Hughes, executive director, ArtServe
Looking ahead: According to the U.S. Department of Education, of 22,326 human trafficking victims and survivors identified through the National Human Trafficking Hotline in 2019, at least 5,359 were under age 18. It follows that many of these children may also be students in our school systems nationwide, since no community or demographic is immune to the threat of human trafficking. As South Florida gets back to school, ArtServe is offering an Aug. 4 workshop for teachers and families to learn how to prevent this threat, as well as how to identify children who may be in the classroom who need intervention.
Christine Hunschofsky, member, Florida House of Representatives
Looking ahead: The past two weeks we have heard horrifying testimony during the penalty trial of the MSD killer. We learned that he searched online for information on mass shootings, weapons of war and ammunition. We also heard the heartbreaking testimony of how he hunted his victims, how many times each victim was shot, and the horrifying impact the high speed bullets from the AR-15 style weapon had on the bodies of the students and teachers. Before our state decides to follow Texas’s bad direction, all lawmakers should watch this trial and then think about how their decisions impact families and communities.
Marty Kiar, property appraiser, Broward County
Last week: The Florida Department of Revenue approved the Broward County Property Appraiser’s 2022 assessment roll. For months, the employees of our office have been working diligently to determine the value of all property in Broward County. Over the past few years, Broward County’s real estate market has moved from a steady increase in prices to one of rapidly appreciating values. The 2022 Just/Market Values are based on the market data from 2021. The approved tax roll certifies that the values are accurate and correct. To check out the assessed value of your property go to web.bcpa.net/BcpaClient/#/Record-Search.
Ina Lee, owner, Travelhost Elite of Greater Fort Lauderdale
Last week: In a proud moment for Fort Lauderdale, the USS Fort Lauderdale arrived in town to be commissioned for active duty. The 684-foot ship is a San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock ship, which cost $1.8 billion. It will ultimately be in Norfolk, Va. It took the vision of Chuck Black (a community activist who passed away) and countless community leaders to bring this into fruition. It is only fitting to have a navy ship named after our city, which is known as the Venice of America.
Looking ahead: As we move into the peak of hurricane season, it is imperative that we be prepared both individually and as a community. Global warming and sea-level rise have been fueling hurricanes and flooding. In the past few years, we have been fortunate not to have been hit with a major hurricane, but we can't let our guard down.
Wendy Sartory Link, supervisor of elections, Palm Beach County
Last week: It’s election time in Palm Beach County, and that means it’s important to be election ready.

Charlotte Mather-Taylor, executive director, Area Agency on Aging of Broward County
Last week: As reported recently in the Sun Sentinel, South Florida families are feeling the bite of inflation at the gas pumps, at the grocery stores and in their rent prices. The federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) may provide much needed relief for some families. If you qualify, SNAP can help you stretch your food budget. The Area Agency on Aging of Broward County SNAP team can assist individuals 50 and older through the application process. For assistance, call our Help Line at 954-745-9779.
Looking ahead: July 30 is the 57th anniversary of Medicare and Medicaid. Since 1965, Medicaid and Medicare have provided millions of Americans at every stage in life with access to comprehensive and affordable health care. The Area Agency on Aging of Broward County is the local resource for seniors ages 60+ seeking to apply for the Medicaid Long-Term Care Program and in need of Medicare counseling. Our Medicare counselors provide unbiased and confidential counseling regarding Medicare plans, benefits, financial assistance, long-term care planning and Medicare fraud. For more information, contact our help line at 954-745-9779.
Bob Mayersohn, city commissioner, Parkland; president, Broward League of Cities
Looking ahead: National Night Out is Tuesday, Aug. 2. Started in 1984, this nationally recognized campaign designed to improve relationships between communities and law enforcement began with neighbors turning on their porch lights and sitting in front of their homes. To build camaraderie and create that true sense of community policing, this campaign has expanded throughout Broward. While multiple cities are celebrating the first Tuesday in August, others like Parkland celebrate on Aug. 1, with meet your SRO (School Resource Officer) night. I encourage you to bring your family, friends and neighbors to your city’s event to embrace our police-community partnerships.
Jennifer O'Flannery Anderson, president and CEO, Community Foundation of Broward
Last week: This week, I attended a ribbon cutting ceremony for Women in Distress' new Thomas Family Education and Empowerment Center. This new area of the organization's campus provides more wrap-around services to support the individuals and their families seeking shelter. Women in Distress is experiencing a tremendous increase in demand for services: 50% more restraining orders, 15% more residential clients, 50% increase in counseling, and more challenges with placement due to housing costs. We are lucky that so many philanthropists, like the Thomas family, recognize how important giving is to help make positive change.
Looking ahead: Everyone diagnosed with cancer should have access to the very best treatment opportunities, right here where they live. So, I’m thrilled to share that Broward cancer patients will have better access to groundbreaking South Florida clinical trials, thanks to the Community Foundation of Broward’s $900,000 in new cancer research grants. These three-year grants support research through Broward Health, Florida International University and the Memorial Cancer Institute. This nearly $1 million grant is made possible by dedicated philanthropists who partner with us to make the benefits of cancer research more accessible and equitable to everyone who calls Broward home.
Larry Rein, CEO and President, ChildNet
Last week: Operating a professional sports franchise today certainly is different. Our Heat and Panthers complete very successful seasons, one within 16 seconds of the NBA Finals, the other with its best regular season ever. They then immediately embark on massive changes. The Heat consider trading their future for an aging superstar and the Panthers discard a longtime star following a record-breaking season for someone who performs equally well but is younger and apparently “meaner.” Some laud their aggressive pursuit of more success. Others wonder if they are rash and short-sighted, ungrateful and unappreciative of both those departed and those left behind.
Dr. Steven Ronik, CEO, Henderson Behavioral Health
Last week: The New York Times featured an op-ed this week exclaiming how work friends can "last a lifetime." I couldn't agree more. As more young people enter the workforce in exclusively or mostly remote roles, I believe they are missing out on the power of social in-person connection. The business advantages of in-person collaboration are critical of course, but the social part — the making-friends part — may be the biggest loss. Employers may want to consider this when designing completely remote roles. Happier employees are better employees. It's not just good for business — it's the right thing to do for society.
Kerry Ann Royes, CEO, YWCA South Florida
Looking ahead: The new school year is upon us, and while we may be disappointed that the slower pace of summer is coming to a close, we should be celebrating that this will be the first fully in-person school year since the start of the pandemic in 2020. Our children will be able to return to classrooms where the beauty of learning flourishes. We hope the issues of social isolation many feel with virtual school will finally dissipate and children will thrive this school year. Let's get excited and engaged as we prepare. We are looking forward to welcoming the community and families back into our YWCA centers as well. Enjoy the last few weeks of summer!
Tim Ryan, member, Broward County Commission
Last week: Over the past year, inflation has significantly impacted consumers. The Federal Reserve has raised interest rates three times and enacted another major rate hike on Wednesday. The goal is to slow the economy enough to reduce demand without triggering a recession. Unfortunately, people are also hurt by higher interest rates that increase the cost of new mortgages, car loans, student loans and credit card charges. Hopefully, low unemployment numbers and employee wage gains soften the blow for consumers.
Looking ahead: The events of Jan. 6 continue to reverberate in our politics. The congressional investigation has revealed many startling facts and painstakingly lays out Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election. The Department of Justice has opened a criminal investigation into his actions, news that is long overdue. Prosecuting the former president may further fracture an already deeply divided nation. But presidents are not kings; they must be held accountable for their actions. We cannot accept a society where the powerful escape justice. The coming months will be an enormous test for our institutions.
John "Jack" Seiler, former mayor, Fort Lauderdale
Last week: Port Everglades will host the official commissioning of the USS Fort Lauderdale, a San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock ship, on Saturday, July 30, in its namesake city! It will be the first Navy ship named for the city of Fort Lauderdale and the eighth Navy vessel commissioned at Port Everglades. The commissioning is the exciting result of more than a decade of coordination, hard work and patriotic service by elected officials, commissioning committee, civic leaders, contractors, industry specialists, the Pentagon and our U.S. Navy. The ship, which was officially announced in 2016, has a motto of "Together We Fight.”
Looking ahead: The USS Fort Lauderdale will sail out of her namesake city, Fort Lauderdale, following her commissioning at Port Everglades. The first U.S. Navy ship named for our city will depart knowing that this community proudly supports, admires and appreciates the extraordinary service and sacrifice of the captain, crew of sailors, and marines who will defend us onboard this remarkable vessel. The ship is designed as a warship to embark, transport and deliver elements of a landing force for a variety of amphibious assaults, special operations or expeditionary warfare missions and also serve as secondary aviation platforms for amphibious operations.
Joshua Simmons, vice mayor, Coral Springs
Last week: I was dismayed to see that Gov. Ron DeSantis continues to erode the public’s trust in our educators. We are facing a teacher shortage and low morale among the educators who continue to show up for our kids. As a former educator, I can say this plainly: Educators are not teaching children to “switch genders.” This is a false assertion. Educators wake up every day and think of creative ways to educate our kids without political or ideological motivations. Educators instruct our children based on the curriculum and what children need to know to be successful in school.
Looking ahead: As the son of a military veteran, I understand the importance of not only thanking our military members for their service, but also the importance in investing in services to help our veterans as a substantive way to give back for their sacrifices. Republican senators recently blocked a measure that would have expanded access to VA health care and benefits for veterans who were exposed to toxins during their service. No matter what your party affiliation is, we should not stand for this. Our military members need us during their service, and they need our support when that service is over.
Howard Simon, retired executive director, ACLU of Florida
Last week: Two of Gov. DeSantis’ obsessions collided last week, allowing insight into his priorities. He triggered a complaint against a Miami restaurant that, for five years, has a weekend brunch drag show. The complaint claims that the performances, which came to his attention by video on social media, constitute “lewd activity” where children may be present and warrants the revocation of the restaurant’s liquor license. But what of DeSantis’ other obsession: the “rights of parents”? Did he inquire whether minors were present with their parents? Apparently, parents’ rights take a back seat to his animosity to the LGBT community.
Looking ahead: The DeSantis administration will soon report its survey of viewpoint diversity on university campuses, as a 2021 law requires. The results will be unreliable and compromised: few teachers or students are likely to respond to an administrative inquiry about their political views. The survey also failed to prevent multiple responses and responses from those not affiliated with university communities. But that will not matter: The point of the survey is to confirm — not investigate — DeSantis’ ideological judgment that Florida universities are overrun by what he derisively calls “woke liberals” and that there are insufficient voices reflecting his political views.

Last week: The Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Terrorism recently considered legislation that would federally decriminalize marijuana. If passed, the new bill would place a federal tax on all marijuana sales and expunge criminal records involving nonviolent marijuana convictions. Those currently incarcerated on such charges would be able to request resentencing. According to the ACLU, Black individuals are more than four times as likely as white individuals to be arrested for possession of marijuana. In fact, cannabis laws have historically been used to target and incarcerate communities of color. This legislation is imperative to decrease the disproportionate incarceration of Black individuals.
Looking ahead: The Senate recently passed a $280 billion bill aimed at countering China’s technological capabilities. The legislation, which would invest federal money into cutting-edge innovations, would amplify the United States’ manufacturing capabilities as well as our military strength. The legislation would specifically invest $200 billion into research involving artificial intelligence and quantum computing. Increased tensions between the U.S. and Beijing, as well as the promise of thousands of new American jobs, generated bipartisan support for the bill. The legislation must now be passed by the House and approved by President Biden, who may sign the bill into law this week.

Looking ahead: If you watch TV, then you must have seen those annoying Medicare Advantage ads with Joe Namath. The public has complained enough that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is punishing insurance agents who are not telemarketers by requiring all marketing calls to be recorded. The 800 number in the current ads is by folks who must record anyway. This is overreach by CMS. This may affect many in the public who want to speak to their insurance advisors in a private call.

Last week: Those sworn to protect our communities often do so at significant personal risk. Last weekend, those dangers were clear when a Broward Sheriff's Office deputy sustained a gunshot wound to the head while responding to a domestic disturbance incident in North Lauderdale. Fortunately, the bullet only grazed the 20-year BSO veteran, and he is now recovering from his injuries. Nevertheless, this incident serves as a reminder of how proudly our brave law enforcement officers serve this noble profession and put their lives on the line for the safety of others. Their courage and commitment to service deserve our gratitude.
Dean Trantalis, mayor, Fort Lauderdale
Last week: It has been six years since it was announced that the U.S. Navy would name its 12th amphibious transport dock vessel the USS Fort Lauderdale in honor of our city. After construction and many rigorous trials, the USS Fort Lauderdale is now in active service after being commissioned into the Navy on July 30 at Port Everglades. The ceremony marks a momentous occasion for the military and the thousands of people who call Fort Lauderdale home, as this is the first time the city’s incorporated namesake is being designated to serve. Over 300 of our nation’s most exemplary servicemen and women rode the USS Fort Lauderdale into the open seas to protect and defend the United States of America. We wish them fair winds and following seas.
Looking ahead: In my July newsletter, I discussed how the city of Fort Lauderdale has been fighting to combat the affordable housing problem and increase the stock of our workforce and affordable housing options. We want to do as much as possible to ensure we remain a diverse community that is accessible to all income levels. Some housing projects that have either come online in the last couple of years or are currently moving through the design and construction process include Six13, Village View, River Garden Townhouses, Sailboat Bend II, Rock Island Apartments, Poinciana Crossing and Seven on Seventh, to name a handful.

Last week: The Federal Reserve increased interest rates by 0.75% to combat ever-higher inflation. Higher rates will tamp down inflation and slow the economy, but I fear the rate bump also will push us into a deeper recession. As interest rates go up, businesses and consumers will cut spending. Decreased demand results in decreased supply, thereby increasing prices. And higher prices compromise the buying power of American citizens. Everyone will feel the pain, but lower-income citizens may not even be able to cover the basics. So I wonder, are we cutting inflation to the detriment of society’s most vulnerable?
Looking ahead: ATTOM, a market-leading provider of real estate and property data, reported in its Midyear 2022 U.S Foreclosure Market Report that foreclosures are up 147% in South Florida year over year. This is a further indication that people are hitting the wall in terms of their finances. Huge post-pandemic demand fueled an unparalleled spending spree, particularly on consumer credit cards. Combine billions in consumer debt with the lowest workforce participation in years, and you have a recipe for disaster. Consumers on an irrational freewheeling spending spree are now paying the price.

Last week: The Respect for Marriage Act would do the opposite of what its name implies, codifying a demand for states and the federal government to honor whatever may be deemed “marriage” by any other state. The concern that the bill could require federal recognition of “marriages” of more than two persons is not far-fetched, as at least three cities in Massachusetts have already legally enshrined so-called polyamorous domestic partnerships The bill would create a massive incentive for radical activists to concentrate their efforts in a single state — further lending plausibility to this potentially disastrous scenario.
Looking ahead: As we witness again the tragic deaths of Haitian boat people near Nassau and the continued attempts of overloaded vessels from Haiti to land in the USA, people might ask: Why would people take such risks? A Haitian proverb says, Dan reken pi dous pase lamizè — the shark’s teeth are sweeter than misery. Why are people fleeing Haiti? Simply because while it’s risky to leave, it is riskier to stay. Gang violence, hunger, disease, destitution, political chaos and ecological disasters have made Haiti unlivable for most of its population.

Looking ahead: It’s that time of year when parents, teachers and students begin preparing for the start of the school year. One of the rites of passage is shopping for school supplies. In Florida, we can take advantage of the Back-to-School Sales Tax Holiday through Aug. 7. It’s so important for students to begin the year with the essential supplies they need to be successful. If you can, I hope you’ll consider donating to one of the many school supply drives in our community. Students and teachers will greatly appreciate your help. | https://www.sun-sentinel.com/opinion/south-florida-100/fl-op-sf100-uss-fort-lauderdale-20220730-brphg5biqjbd5kl36dzesjnis4-story.html | 2022-07-30T16:14:41Z | https://www.sun-sentinel.com/opinion/south-florida-100/fl-op-sf100-uss-fort-lauderdale-20220730-brphg5biqjbd5kl36dzesjnis4-story.html | true | 1 |

As Niagara Health continues to experience immense pressures, the mayors of Niagara’s 12 communities, along with regional chair Jim Bradley, are appealing to the public to help minimize the impact on the local health system this long weekend.
Following a public service announcement issued by the hospital system, reminding the community to visit the emergency department only when requiring serious medical attention, Bradley and Niagara’s mayors recognized the “critical situation” facing Niagara Health in its own statement Friday.
“It goes without saying that the increase in activity that is part of a normal long weekend will undoubtedly exacerbate these challenges over the coming days. As Niagara’s mayors and regional chair, it is our shared desire to see service continuity at all of our hospitals and urgent care centres over the coming days and weeks.”
Last week, Niagara Health acknowledged it is facing – like many Ontario hospitals – significant staffing shortages, leading to longer wait times and delays in services.
In addition to the 608 vacant positions it is “aggressively” trying to fill, the hospital system is dealing with growing shortages as an increasing number of staff and physicians either self-isolate or become sick due to COVID-19.
As of July 19, Niagara Health had 148 staff and physicians off work in self-isolation, while 2,692 have tested positive for COVID-19 since the beginning of the pandemic.
But it is the emergency department experiencing the most immediate pressures, with staff and physicians caring for more people with “more complex needs that ever before,” the PSA said.
For health care concerns not requiring serious medical attention this holiday weekend, Niagara Health is encouraging people to contact their primary care provider, to call Health Connect Ontario to speak with a registered nurse, or visit its Urgent Care Centres in Fort Erie and Port Colborne.
In its statement, Bradley and Niagara’s mayors also recognized the “significant continued challenges” facing paramedics and Niagara EMS, and the substantial offload delays at the hospital further exacerbated by high number of staffing shortages.
With little immediate help on the horizon, “these staffing shortages mean that Niagara’s talented health care workers are making sacrifices to care for us, while experiencing dramatic levels of burn out and exhaustion.”
They also requested immediate action from the province to help relieve the pressures facing hospitals across Ontario.
“As Niagara’s municipal leaders, we stand ready to work with our partners in the provincial government to deliver a solution that ensures the best possible care for our residents, while supporting the wellness of the talented and dedicated staff and physicians who work in Niagara’s hospitals,” the statement said.
The increase of hospital workers off sick with COVID this summer has placed additional stress on health-care system across Ontario. The critical lack of staff has forced some hospitals to scale back services, relocate patients and temporarily close departments.
The Toronto Star reported as of Friday, 10 emergency departments have had to temporarily close due to shortage of nurses according to data from Ontario Health.
Since May, the first month the province started tracking COVID-related absences during the pandemic, the number of hospital staff off sick or recently exposed have almost doubled, from 2,630 absences the week of May 21 to 4,800 the week of July 16. | https://www.wellandtribune.ca/news/niagara-region/2022/07/30/niagara-mayors-and-regional-chair-call-on-public-to-support-local-health-system-this-weekend.html | 2022-07-30T16:17:56Z | https://www.wellandtribune.ca/news/niagara-region/2022/07/30/niagara-mayors-and-regional-chair-call-on-public-to-support-local-health-system-this-weekend.html | false | 3 |
Eileen Grimes was sitting on the examination table, already feeling rather exposed in a thin paper gown as she waited to begin a routine appointment with her OB/GYN last August. Then the doctor walked in, looked Grimes in the eyes and gently asked with genuine concern: "How are you doing?"
Grimes, a married mother of two in Spokane, Wash., had spent the previous months caring for her husband through a recent addiction relapse, working a full-time job in IT and attempting to launch a new career as an author and entrepreneur, all while trying to keep her young children safe in the pandemic. Her 4-year-old daughter had grown increasingly clingy recently, often wanting to be held and comforted. Grimes's 7-year-old son had started asking her what was wrong - are you mad at me? - and she knew that even though she'd been trying to shield her children from her own stress and anxiety, it wasn't working.
All of this flooded her mind as she sat in the exam room, and Grimes suddenly found herself sobbing. "The floodgates just opened," she recalls. "There was the stress of the pandemic, and not knowing the right thing to do with my kids, and my husband was struggling with his own mental health, and I felt like I was supposed to hold everything together."
For the first time in her life, Grimes, 38, left her doctor's office with a prescription for Prozac - a choice she made not only for herself, she says, but also for the sake of her kids.
The pandemic's profound toll on the mental wellbeing of children has been well documented - especially by parents, teachers, pediatricians, counselors and psychologists who have witnessed the impact firsthand. Suicide has become a leading cause of death for children ages 10 and up, and mental health problems were responsible for a surge of children's visits to hospital emergency rooms during the first months of the pandemic, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
But many kids are not grappling in a vacuum with life-altering changes to school, community and routine wrought by the coronavirus. Their families, too, have struggled - sometimes limiting the children's ability to cope, or even amplifying the emotional impact on all members of a household. Meanwhile, demand for mental health resources has soared since 2020 even as the availability of therapy and other support, especially for families who are most vulnerable and in need, has plummeted.
Researchers like Jessica Borelli, a clinical psychologist and associate professor of psychological science at the University of California at Irvine, are trying to decipher exactly what all of this means for parents and children who are carrying the trauma of the past two years. In her work so far, which has included a national survey of parents conducted in the first few months of the pandemic, she has found that parents who reported higher levels of mental health symptoms often had children who were experiencing the same: "The more covid impacted parents' lives, the more a parent's mental health was adversely affected," she says, "which in turn impacted their children's mental health."
Grimes had seen this pattern taking shape in her own household. In the weeks before her doctor's appointment, she had noticed her son assuming a protective posture around her - if his little sister started throwing a tantrum, he would step in and try to intervene, behaving almost as a surrogate parent.
"That broke my heart and triggered something in me. I don't want him to feel like he has to be another parent," Grimes says. "It was a red flag. I knew I had to do something."
The fact that so many parents and children are experiencing mental health crises right now is not surprising, Borelli says; the societal tumult of recent years has forced many families into impossible situations.
"Parents are not meant to meet all of a child's needs, and when we are all of a sudden in a situation where parents need to meet all of their children's needs - their social-emotional needs, their educational needs, their physical health and exercise needs, their nutritional needs, everything - the system cannot survive," she says.
Her study was conducted in the early days of the pandemic, and much has changed since then. Schools, camps and day cares are largely available again, she notes. But parents are still facing extraordinary instability - unpredictable schedules, unexpected quarantines, shifting rules about masking and testing, children who are struggling to re-adjust to in-person schooling - and these constant fluctuations are mentally and emotionally taxing.
"We are asking so much of our kids, and we're asking so much of our parents," Borelli says. "The number of routines that children have had to transition between is just staggering, and parents are the ones who have to do that transitioning. It's just a tremendous cognitive and emotional load."
As a parent and an elementary school teacher in Baltimore City Public Schools, Samantha Altmann, 38, knows this better than most. When the lockdown began in March 2020, Samantha was teaching her third-grade students online, and her husband, Eben Altmann, was running a commercial kitchen for local food businesses. They had to balance those obligations with childcare for their then-2-year-old daughter, Mabel. Samantha, who was nearly four months pregnant at the time, soon learned that she could longer bring Eben with her to prenatal appointments.
This meant that she was alone when a grim-faced doctor told her, at 25 weeks pregnant, that their son no longer had a heartbeat. And she was alone as she underwent a subsequent dilation and evacuation procedure.
"Five days later, I was in front of my computer virtually teaching my students again," she says. She felt she had to be there for them - she was a trusted presence in their lives amid so much upheaval, and her students were still reeling from the murder of George Floyd, and she wanted to support them, she says. "So in the middle of me losing the baby, and talking about what's going on in the country and George Floyd - we're talking about this virtually, with parents in the background, who are really engaged and wanting to contribute - I'm sitting here in my own trauma, with my daughter on my lap, and that was the start of the pandemic for me."
When she became pregnant again a few months later, the doctor expressed concern about protecting Samantha's mental health during another pregnancy - and wrote her an antidepressant prescription. Throughout the pregnancy, Samantha says she was dogged by constant fear of the worst happening again, until their son, Gus, arrived safely in March 2021.
How much of this experience did Mabel absorb? Her parents aren't certain. "She's just transitioned into the next age group at school, she's changed classrooms, she's left some of her friends behind. Sam's grandmother recently passed away, and Mabel was very close to her," Eben says. So when Mabel, now 4 years old, has a tantrum or struggles to listen or behave, there are many possible explanations, he says - "or it could be that she's picking something up from our own issues and anxieties related to the pandemic."
For Kim Alexander, 44, serving as director of an assisted living facility in Houston put her on the pandemic's front lines, and she became fixated on making sure that she did not bring the virus home, where two of her adult children, her teenage son and her then-5-year-old granddaughter lived.
She was especially worried about her 13-year-old son, A. Jay, who has a chronic disorder called eosinophilic esophagitis that has resulted in 48 surgeries since his birth. The condition has led him to experience both depression and post-traumatic stress.
"One day I realized that I was no longer hugging my kids," she said. "I was keeping myself away from them, which then made them feel more isolated, separate and apart from everybody else. The hurt for me was seeing their hurt, seeing how frustrated they were."
The toll of isolation, virtual learning and the difficult return to in-person high school exacerbated her son's anxiety and anger, Alexander says - and when he started running away from home several months ago, she was terrified. "It got to the point for us where I was scared to leave the house, because I didn't know if when I got home he would still be here."
Now 16, A. Jay longs to be seen as a "typical" kid, she says, which creates tension between them when she advocates on his behalf and pursues the accommodations he requires. "I'm doing what he needs and not what he wants," she says. "I've become the parent who has put all of these things in place to try to safety-net him from a world that doesn't want him. And now I've made him feel special, I've made him feel like he is the center of attention, and his anger with me is 'I just want to be left alone.'"
All of this weighs on her heavily, she adds: "I'm mentally exhausted. I really am."
When parents turn to her for help, Jessica Borelli says, she tries to emphasize one thing above all: That a strong parent-child relationship can help shield children from the damaging impact of a parent's mental health issues. It is a pattern she has consistently observed in her own research, across a range of cultural and socio-economic groups. The strongest predictor of a child's mental health, she says, is "attachment security" - the feeling of having an open relationship between parent and child, even if one party is battling depression or anxiety or post-traumatic stress.
"Do your kids feel safe? Do they feel loved? Do they feel accepted by you?" If the answers are yes, then that's what matters, she says. "This isn't necessarily a time to excel, it's a time to survive. Focus on the connection that you have with your child."
For Eileen Grimes, that means being transparent. When she filled her first prescription for Prozac, she immediately told her children about the medication.
"I told them, 'This is what Mommy's taking, and there's nothing wrong with it, it helps me to do what I need to do and be the mom I need to be for you,'" she says. "I want to normalize talking about this stuff. I don't want mental health stigma to exist for them. And I want my kids to know they can come to me when life gets hard."
Since April, Kim Alexander's son A. Jay has lived with his father, Alexander's ex-husband, in a nearby neighborhood. Alexander's relationship with her youngest child has been strained by all they've endured, she says, but she hopes this distance might create a reset of sorts, and she has faith in the strength of their bond. "I've been a parent for 28 years, and I know there are ebbs and flows of parenting," she says. "I'm not concerned about our relationship not being repaired. He will get there. I just want him to find his joy."
For now, the temporary separation has helped her own anxiety level come down, and she knows that much is essential for both of them. "Honestly, I am relieved," she says. "As a parent, you've got to put your own oxygen mask on first." | https://www.postguam.com/entertainment/lifestyle/when-a-parents-mental-health-struggle-affects-their-kids/article_38b58204-09cf-11ed-b059-4b233338096f.html | 2022-07-30T16:19:39Z | https://www.postguam.com/entertainment/lifestyle/when-a-parents-mental-health-struggle-affects-their-kids/article_38b58204-09cf-11ed-b059-4b233338096f.html | true | 2 |
