The sun was shining over The Haughs as Turriff Show made its much-anticipated return on Sunday.
Thousands of people turned out for the first day of the historic event, which has not been held since 2019 due to Covid.
And it was certainly back in full swing today with an abundance of entertainment and activities for people of all ages to enjoy – from a Codona’s fairground to an arts and crafts marquee.
Organised by the Turriff District Agricultural Association, the traditional competitive classes of cattle, sheep and horses firmly remain a big draw to the show.
Spectators flooded into the grandstand at the main arena to watch the horse and pony judging and competitions which were taking place today.
Families also had the opportunity to get up close to a range of animals all around the site, and take part in some judging of their own with the charity sheep stock, which was raising funds for The Archie Foundation and RSABI.
Steven Bisset came along today with his family and dog, Zeus, for a fun day out.
“It’s just good to get out the house,” he said. “This is a big thing we do but we’ve not been able to since before Covid. It’s busier than expected.”
Jim Urquhart, one of the event sponsors, said it was “fine to see” so many people out and about for the show.
“It’s not quite back to normal, but we’re getting there,” he said. “It’s a good day so far and it’s fine to see people back out as it’s been two years since they had the chance.
“The weather makes it – it’s a sun trap down here.”
Showcasing farming at Turriff Show
As the biggest agricultural show in the north-east, Turriff Show attracts hundreds of people who work in the sector.
Scott Chapman, from ANM Group, said it was good to get the event going again – and to gain further support.
He said: “We always come to the show, as the biggest farming co-operative in Scotland it’s a great opportunity to meet customers from the area.
“It’s fine to have the show again and good to get the ongoing support – or we won’t still be here.”
Andrew Connon, vice president of NFU Scotland, added: “It’s been very busy, the farmers are out in force.
“It’s a challenging time for agriculture at the moment, with rising costs and lack of labour, but this is a triumphant showcase.
“There’s an active farming industry in the north-east – a powerhouse of agriculture.”
Supporting local in Turriff
Although predominantly a farming event, Turriff Show is also an opportunity for businesses and clubs to raise awareness and fundraise – including two local sport teams.
Lesley Chapman is the chairwoman of the Turriff United Youth Football Club, which has more than 350 members aged three to 18.
She said: “We’re really part of the community in Turriff. We were here three years ago at the last show and we were desperate to be back. When we heard it was happening we were delighted.
“We’ve got a lot of football-related activities and challenges for the kids where they can win World Cup footballs. And, we’ve got a healthy eating kids corner where we’re discussing nutrition and healthy eating.
“The main reason we’re here today is to raise awareness of the club and raise funds because the more we can raise, the lower we can keep the fees for our families.
“We want the kids to be able to come out and play football with their friends and to make new friendships.
“It’s great to be part of the show – it’s a brilliant supporter of the club and we just wanted to give a wee bit back to the community as well.”
Nearby, Turriff Rugby Club had set up a tyre challenge where show visitors could test their strength.
Andy Mcdonald, from the club, said: “We’ve been working closely with Turriff Show to try and get the pitch and a clubhouse where the old pavilion is, so that’s our plans for the future.
“Lockdown wasn’t the greatest for us, but now we’re into our second competitive season we need to do a bit more fundraising now – and Turriff Show came at the right time.”
Good food and friendly folk
Many local food and drink businesses set up stalls all around the show ground and in the EQ Food and Drink Pavilion – where locals were also treated to a cooking demonstration by Scottish chef Gary Maclean.
The Cairngorm Gin company travelled from Carrbridge to sell their award-winning artisan gin today.
The stall was being manned by Jennifer Smith, founder Jack Smith’s mum, who said it was the first opportunity the company had had to visit Turriff Show since launching in 2019.
She said: “We chose a handful of shows to attend and this is the first time we’ve been to Turriff Show. It’s been a good day and everyone has been so nice, they seem happy to get out and about.
“All the locals we’ve met have been really sociable and friendly.”
Many more people are expected to attend the show for its second and final day tomorrow when the National Highland Cattle Show will be held.
The show will also receive the royal seal of approval as Princess Anne is scheduled to tour the showground and present the Champion of Champions Award. | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/aberdeen-aberdeenshire/4608163/turriff-show-return-2022/ | 2022-08-01T15:13:23Z | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/aberdeen-aberdeenshire/4608163/turriff-show-return-2022/ | true | 1 |

August is here, and growing season is in full swing — which means that gardens, farmers' markets and grocery stores are bursting with the very best summer produce. The recipes below will help you take advantage of summer's bounty, from the fresh tomatoes in our five-ingredient pasta to the sweet and plump peaches that form the base of our classic crumble.
This is the also the perfect time to play around with summer salads. We’re having fun with fruit, but there’s very little that can’t be combined to awesome effect this season!
And because the wonderful weather inevitably inspires us to spend more time outdoors and while away the days (or nights!) with company, we’ve included a few great recipes for entertaining, including zesty buffalo falafel bites and strawberry and rhubarb-sauced fried chicken. They're equally enjoyable when shared with the family for supper or a big crowd. (Keep them on hand for your Labor Day spread!)
The really great thing? All of these recipes are shoppable, which means you can also save yourself a trip to the grocery store. Simply order the ingredients you need via Walmart in just a few clicks. (Walmart+ members can also score free delivery on orders $35 and up.)
What to cook this week
Tomato season is finally here! And there’s no better way to take advantage of summer’s bounty than with this blissfully simple spaghetti recipe. It's basically a Caprese salad masquerading as pasta!
Looking for 30-minute meal ideas? Move over, wings: These Buffalo sauce-coated falafel are like a vegetarian’s dream come true. And they have what it takes to be a main meal when topped with creamy dill sauce and placed over crunchy carrot salad.
Fruit salad has so much more potential than a sad mix of grapes and watery melon, stuck inside a plastic clamshell. This combo of bright citrus and peak-summer watermelon really shines, especially when tossed with salty feta and buttery pine nuts and dressed with orange juice and red wine vinegar.
If you thought everyone’s favorite picnic staple couldn’t get any better, you’ve got to try this version. Fennel seed adds a little something-something to the seasoning, cornflakes contribute crunch to the batter, and a super summery sauce of strawberry and rhubarb takes everything over the top.
We’ve used peaches for this perfectly seasonal crumble, but feel free to swap in your favorite summer fruit. The nutty brown sugar and cinnamon topping is the ultimate foil for juicy blueberries, rosy plums and more. | https://www.today.com/food/what-cook-week-august-1-2022-t260936 | 2022-08-01T15:15:09Z | https://www.today.com/food/what-cook-week-august-1-2022-t260936 | true | 1 |
Kneeling exercises are not usually recommended by trainers. Most of these exercises require you to either stand up or lie down. However, there are other ways to challenge your body. Kneeling and half-kneeling positions enhance balance and core stability while building strength.
Kneeling exercises enhance core stability and hip mobility, and bring more attention to the working muscles. You can increase your strength, balance and performance by performing kneeling exercises in the tall kneeling and half kneeling positions.
In the tall kneeling position (kneeling on both knees), you'll have increased glute strength and endurance due to the prolonged engagement of your glutes. It can also improve your balance, core stability and hip mobility.
In the half kneeling position, you can move your hips and shoulders without the pelvis and lower back overcompensating. If you’re experiencing lower back pain, this position can help.
Kneeling Exercises for Beginners
Check out these six kneeling exercises for beginners:
1) Bird Dog
This is a great exercise to improve balance and straighten the spine. It works out your core muscles and also helps tone down your arms and legs.
Here's how you do this exercise:
- Start by kneeling on both knees with your hands shoulder-width apart on the soft surface.
- Lift your right knee, and stretch the leg back while simultaneously elevating your left hand and extending your arm forward at shoulder level, looking straight ahead (not down).
- To stay balanced, and keep the position for ten seconds, concentrate on an object in front of you (or your hand).
- Repeat with the right hand or arm extended and the left knee or leg in the air. Repeat ten times.
2) Step-ups with Arm Circles
Step-ups work out your legs and buttocks. Arm circles help to loosen up your shoulders and improve blood circulation. They also improve the muscle tone in your arms.
Here's how you do this exercise:
- Kneel on your left knee, with your right leg stretched in a lunge and arms out to the sides at shoulder height.
- Starting with your right foot, straighten your legs; stand up, and perform clockwise arm circles.
- Continue for nine more repetitions.
- Immediately switch to kneeling on your right knee and pressing off with your left foot for ten repetitions while performing counterclockwise Arm Circles.
3) Ball Chop
This exercise is excellent for building up your upper body and obliques muscles.
Here's how you do this exercise:
- Hold the medicine ball above your head as you kneel on your left knee, with your right leg in a lunge position.
- In addition to rotating to the right, drive the ball diagonally across your body towards your right hip.
- Repeat nine more times while slowly returning to the starting position.
- Do ten Ball Chops while changing kneeling positions such that your left leg is now in a lunge stance.
4) Knee-Elevated Ball Rollout
Rather than rolling out the ball while normally squatting on both knees, this activity puts your balance and core strength to the test. The hip flexors and core muscles benefit from the exercise as well.
Here's how you do this kneeling exercise:
- To begin, kneel on both knees, and place both hands on top of the ball.
- Raise your right knee as you roll the ball back and forth while extending your arms.
- Repeat this motion ten times.
- Repeat while lifting your left knee into the air.
5) Kneeling Overhead Press
This exercise is a good one to increase the size and strength of your shoulders, triceps and traps. It also works out your core, obliques, traverse abdominals, lower back, spine stabilisers and glutes.
Here's how you do this exercise:
- Start by kneeling on your right knee, with your left leg extended in a lunge stance, one dumbbell in your left hand on your shoulder and your right arm extended laterally to shoulder height (placing you in an unstable position that will effectively engage the core muscles while pressing the dumbbell overhead 10 times).
- Alternately, while kneeling on your left knee, perform ten overhead presses with your right hand or left arm extended.
6) Kneeling Dumbbell Row
Kneeling dumbbell rows can give you a stronger back and improved posture.
Here's how you do this exercise:
- For this arm, back and core strengthening workout, use one dumbbell.
- On both knees, start in a modified push-up position, with the dumbbell by your right side.
- Raise your right leg; bring the dumbell to your waist with your right hand in a neutral grip; pause, and squeeze your shoulder blades together.
- Lower gradually, and do nine more repetitions.
- Switch right away by bending your left knee and ten times pulling the dumbbell to your waist with your left hand.
Takeaway
Include the aforementioned kneeling exercises in your daily routine for an interesting and fun change as well as challenge.

“Ozark” star Tom Pelphrey did not believe he would get nominated for a Primetime Emmy this year. Even though he watched the nominations announcement from Berlin, Germany, with his partner Kaley Cuoco, he was doing so mainly to see whether Cuoco would land another bid for her series “The Flight Attendant” — and she did. “We were very excited, started celebrating,” recounted Pelphrey in a new webchat with Gold Derby (watch the exclusive interview above), adding, “Then, we sort of walked away from the computer and we were FaceTiming with her friends and family.” It was not until 10 minutes later that he, through a phone call from the United States, learned that he himself had earned a citation for Best Drama Guest Actor, a category that is notably not presented during the main announcement. “I picked up, and they said, ‘You got nominated for an Emmy!’ I was shocked. And then obviously very, very happy. So, it was a pretty special day.”
This is the career-first Primetime Emmy nom for the two-time Daytime Emmy champ, who joined “Ozark” in its third season as Ben Davis, Wendy’s (Laura Linney) bipolar brother. His stay, however, did not last very long as Ben bites the dust at the end of the Netflix drama’s third season. Hence, it took viewers by surprise when the character returns in the drama’s fourth and final installment, albeit not because he’s still alive. Instead, he turns up in a brief flashback in the 10th episode of the season, “You’re the Boss,” which naturally serves as his submission to Emmy voters.
Directed by Melissa Hickey, the episode opens with the flashback, which takes place on the night Ben was executed and picks up basically where we last saw him in Season 3: seated in a roadside restaurant as he waits for Wendy to return to their table. This time, however, viewers get to see what unfolds after Ben heads outside in search of his sister and is intercepted by Navarro cartel hitman Nelson (Nelson Bonilla).
SEE our chat with Emmy-nominated ‘Ozark’ showrunner Chris Mundy
Pelphrey was actually filming another show, Amazon Prime Video’s “Outer Range,” in New Mexico when the “Ozark” team reached out to him about his potential return to the show. “They reached out and asked me if I would come do a flashback, [to] which, obviously, the answer was yes. I was really excited,” shared Pelphrey, who was able to head straight to Georgia to shoot his “Ozark” scenes after wrapping “Outer Range” in New Mexico. About reprising his character on the gritty drama, the actor revealed, “It was kind of a trippy experience, because the flashback picks up exactly where we left off [in Season 3]. And so here, you’re continuing a scene that you finished — I mean, I finished filming that scene probably two and a half years earlier, at least. And so it was wild, there were so many emotions.”
What transpires in the flashback is that Ben, after pleading for his life, recognizes that he has no choice but to go with Nelson, who hauls him off to an abandoned barn to kill him. On the drive there, Ben apologizes to Nelson for putting him in this unfortunate position and asks the hitman to also pass along his apologies to his sister, saying he forgives her. Of note is that he does so in spite of his knowledge that Wendy revealed his whereabouts to Navarro cartel attorney Helen Pierce (Janet McTeer), albeit remorsefully. In his mind, he is still surrendering himself to Nelson for his sister, for which there are two reasons, according to Pelphrey.
“On one level, I believe that Ben is very intelligent. I believe that Ben understands, on some level, that what he’s done — which is also why it was so upsetting to him as he was doing it — has put everyone in a position where he kind of has to go,” explained the Emmy nominee. “On another level, I think, as a human being, that perhaps being faced with something that is so inevitable, in a way, that’s deeply upsetting and horrific — if there’s a way to have more agency in what’s happening, that might provide some relief or a little bit of peace… So, I think for Ben, who is so in touch with his feelings, that the idea of like, ‘Okay, this is how it’s going to end, and there’s no changing it’ — there was some comfort, some solace and some agency in saying, ‘I understand, I really do, and I do love my sister. And that’s how I want it to end: on my terms, in that way.'”
SEE our chat with Emmy-nominated ‘Ozark’ cinematographer Eric Koretz
At this year’s Emmys, “Ozark” racked up a total of 13 nominations, including for Best Drama Series and three of Pelphrey’s co-stars: Jason Bateman (Best Drama Actor) — who is also nominated for directing the series finale and as an executive producer — Julia Garner (Best Drama Supporting Actress) and Linney (Best Drama Actress). In our chat, Pelphrey expresses his gratitude for having been part of the show, saying, “It’s really special — that job and everyone involved with it has always felt more like a family than a job. I’m genuinely happy for everyone and genuinely excited that I get to be a part of it.”

DENVER — Police are investigating a fatal escalator accident at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver Saturday night.
Police said a woman was sitting on an escalator railing at the stadium and fell to the concourse below. She died as a result of her injuries, according to police.
The Denver Police Department said the call came in at 10:52 p.m. Police said the woman was a guest at the stadium.
The accident occurred the same day a Kenny Chesney concert was going on at Empower Field at Mile High.
Denver police initially tweeted at 11:17 p.m. Saturday that they were investigating an outdoor death at 1701 Bryant Street.
Police later provided an update Sunday morning, stating the woman died as a result of the fall from the escalator railing.
Stadium officials released the following statement regarding the accident:
"We extend our deepest sympathies to the loved ones of the woman involved in the tragic incident that occurred at the end of Saturday's concert at Empower Field at Mile High. There is nothing more important than the safety of our guests, and Stadium Management Company is in communication with the Denver Police Department as it investigates this unfortunate situation."

Thea @ the Theatre introduces our teen show critic, Bradford Alhambra's Billionaire Boy reviewed by Thea Sharpe
David Walliams' hit children’s book, brought to the stage by Neal Foster, is a fun, energy charged 90-minute play with a good flow and steady pace.
The page to stage production tells the tale of the son of a toilet roll magnate who struggles to make new friends at his new school while being accosted over his family fortunes.
What followed was a helter skelter laugh-a-minute fast paced ride. I was out of breath just watching it!
But the energy of the show didn't miss how hurtful kids and adults can be, whether intentionally or not.
A good night out for all the family, with the focus being on younger audience members, you can enjoy the production aimed at under 13s with a few adult gags thrown in by way of Carry On-esque tongue in cheek catchphrases.
Minimal sets and clever use of stacked toilet rolls was particularly creative with different scenes being transformed by something so simple as boxes stacked up gave the perfect imagery of the Bum Fresh empire.
My brother gave me a running narrative of who was who and what was what.
And, because he had just finished this book, I felt it a good opportunity for him to see the difference between page and stage and how both interpretations could show the moral narrative in different ways.
Aside from the content and flow of the story, Billionaire Boy was a lot of fun. The show was good with the writer's narrative being brought to life by a faithful adaptation.
Although fans of the book will be able to note the change from Lauren, the cool girl, to Jaden, the cool kid.
Interaction from the audience and musical numbers had families joining in and being involved with Joe Spud's journey to finding happiness money can't buy.
Even in this day and age it is worth its weight in gold. Or, to quote my bro, the show was "priceless like a true friendship".
A feel-good tale with a good moral compass, Billionaire Boy's focus on the importance of friendship, was indeed priceless. | https://www.daventryexpress.co.uk/read-this/thanks-a-billion-page-to-stage-show-was-priceless-as-true-friendship-3789215 | 2022-08-01T15:32:22Z | https://www.daventryexpress.co.uk/read-this/thanks-a-billion-page-to-stage-show-was-priceless-as-true-friendship-3789215 | true | 13 |

'The Beginning' is a remembrance of Peas past
Last week the NFL announced that the Black Eyed Peas would headline the halftime show at Super Bowl XLV in February, making them the first current pop act to nab the slot since the notorious "wardrobe malfunction" incident of 2004. But the Peas' sixth album, "The Beginning" (Interscope), shows that the group, despite its fondness for robotics and electronics, is more than happy to look back to make its polyglot-pop points.
The album's lead single, "The Time (Dirty Bit)," pays homage to the 1987 hit "(I've Had) The Time of My Life," right down to the title's parenthetical aside. But it's no straight cover; a deep techno beat washes in over the iconic chorus after one repetition, and those two bits fight it out until will.i.am pulls the plug. It's a fitting introduction to "The Beginning," where songs don't develop as much as they shift endlessly, like an insomniac channel-surfer flipping between reruns, public access and reality shows set in loud, obnoxious nightclubs.
"Love You Long Time" borrows from KC and the Sunshine Band's "Baby Give It Up," while Fergie's rap on "Fashion Beats" recalls a confused French student's attempt to re-create the breakdown of Blondie's "Rapture"; there are also echoes of Madonna, Lady Gaga and Chic.
These nods to the past serve as counterpoints to club-ready beats that sound downright avant-garde at times; if they were put forth by anyone but the Peas, they might be allowed to develop into something that caught listeners' ear. (They would perhaps be accompanied by lyrics that went a bit deeper than the surfaces presented by party photographers' shots.) Instead, the compelling material is never given a chance to develop, and all the listener can feel when the record’s finished is whiplash.

The MacBook Air M1 is the cheapest way to get an Apple laptop, and offers a huge power jump over its predecessor – though it feels prime for a redesign in the near future. Still, it’s one of the best options out there for students, or anyone that needs a lightweight laptop.

Apple has never been known for “cheap” products, but its lowest-price laptop, the MacBook Air, has been it’s most popular for some time.
The latest version, sporting the company’s own M1 chip instead of prior Intel ones, makes everything about the machine better. It lasts longer, has more power, and still manages to fit inside an incredibly small chassis. That chassis is instantly recognizable, too, but the overall design of the MacBook Air remains the same we’ve had for years.
That said, if you’re after a powerful laptop that’s running macOS and will fit into a small-ish bag, the MacBook Air is the best it’s ever been. It’s got a great keyboard and trackpad, it can run a lot of the apps you’ll find on your iPhone, and it’ll last a full day of use without gasping for a charger.
While we’d have loved a much better webcam (come on Apple, it’s 2022 now and it’s still 720p), this feels like the MacBook Air “coming of age” and fulfilling all of its promise – at least until the rumored 2022 refresh arrives.
Switching on the MacBook Air for the first time will kick start the machine’s setup assistant, and it’s pretty straightforward. Pick a language, pick a location, and log in with your Apple ID.
You’re able to migrate content, apps, and even settings from another Mac via wireless transfer (and can plug it in for increased speeds), while you can also migrate from a Windows machine if this is your first walk on the macOS side of things.
Setup took us just a few minutes with a fresh install, and then you’re ready at the desktop.
The MacBook Air’s calling card has always been its portability, and that’s not changed here. In fact, from the outside, nothing has changed.
There’s a wedge-like body, with a sizeable trackpad and impressively spacious keyboard on top, the latter flanked by two surprisingly deep-sounding speakers – especially when considering there’s not a great deal of reverberating to be done within such a narrow design.
On the left, you’ll find two USB-C ports, both capable of USB 4.0 speeds, while on the right there’s just a solitary headphone jack. Considering the laptop charges via USB-C, you’ll only have one port if it’s plugged in – something to consider, unless you have a docking station or a dongle.
When it comes to the screen, it’s the 13.3-inch, 2560 x 1600 resolution Retina display we’ve come to expect, with 400 nits brightness. It packs True Tone and its colors are plenty accurate, but we’d be lying if we said it pales in comparison to the 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pro displays, or the iPad Pro’s mini-LED backlighting… and yet, this display is still pretty great. While its brightness is less, it never feels too low.
Our only real gripe with the design is that it’s all too familiar. It’s not bad, it’s just a little boring now, regardless of whether you opt for Gold, Silver, or Space Gray.
The big draw of this MacBook Air over its Intel-based predecessor is that M1 chip, and it’s just as transformative here as it was on the M1 MacBook Pro.
There are three pillars here – power, efficiency, and compatibility. In terms of power, the M1 MacBook Air blows the prior model out of the water, with a 350% increase in speed. You’ll feel it, too – your emails pop open faster, your notifications are more responsive, and Apple Arcade games look great thanks to the integrated GPU.
It’s that integration that makes the machine so efficient, too. Rather than data being relayed between components like the CPU, GPU, I/O, and SMC, the M1 incorporates all of those components onto an SoC (system on a chip). That means they can talk to each other more quickly, and without the power drain of moving all of that data.
The result? We got fifteen hours of battery life when using the MacBook Air, editing documents, sending emails, and streaming audio. We even found time to watch some YouTube content, with the laptop keeping up. Better yet, because its architecture is heavily inspired by the iPhone and iPad, if you leave the laptop to sleep or close the lid, it’ll be ready and waiting for you, waking instantly.
If you need something for resource intensive tasks like coding, then the MacBook Pro is probably a better choice, but it should be able to compile and test code for you without melting into a pile of goo.
Finally, compatibility. Because the M1 is close cousins with the iPhone and iPad chips, there’s some crossover. That means that the M1 can actually run a lot of the apps you may already own, and the list keeps growing, too.
If you’re worried about your Intel apps not working, fret not. Apple has developed a translation tool called Rosetta 2 that converts Intel apps in M1 compatible versions the first time you run them. You’ll barely notice a difference, but as more apps are upgraded to support M1 natively, it’ll only get better.
It’s not all good news, though, and much of that feeds back to the M1 reworking the inside but the outside is left unchanged. We’re sorry to say that yep, the FaceTime camera is still 720p, which means it’s blurry in decent light and almost unusable in low light.
It’s also going to be a tough sell for anyone that needs those extra ports, particularly if you use multiple displays. The M1 MacBook Air will natively support both its own display and one external display (if you have a dongle), meaning you’ll have to find a way around this with some third-party drivers and additional dongles. It’s not impossible, but it’s not easy. It’s also the kind of thing that’s likely to be remedied by an inevitable M2, with the MacBook Air rumored to be getting a refresh in 2022.
The MacBook Air starts at $999, which makes it Apple’s cheapest laptop – despite costing double what a Windows laptop could cost. As always, though, Apple machines tend to last longer than their Windows-based counterparts, and we expect that to hold even more true with the M1 architecture.
For that money you’ll be getting a 256GB SSD, which may not be enough for some. Upgrading to 512GB will set you back $1249, but you do get an extra core on the GPU. Whatever you buy, you’ll want to be certain it’s enough, because Apple’s laptops aren’t able to be added to – what you buy is what you get, meaning that 512GB SSD may be a better option for you in the long term.
While many Amazon user reviews are impressed with the battery life and performance of the M1 processor – giving the laptop a 4.8 stars out of 5 (opens in new tab) – many have been damning when discussing the camera.
Others have mentioned, as we have, that you really should buy as much storage as you think you’ll need – especially since you can’t change it later.
The MacBook Air is the perfect laptop for anyone that wants to fire off emails, scroll social media, and play Mac games. It’s also a pretty capable machine for editing audio, images, and even video, although it has a ceiling. We think it’s a perfect choice for students who need a capable, lightweight machine to use for their studying and entertainment needs.
If you want more headroom, more ports, and naturally more power, the MacBook Pro 16-inch could be a better fit, but it’s also approaching twice the price.
Our advice? Hold out for a little longer, and see what 2022 brings. Best case scenario, you’ll get a portable, powerful MacBook Air that’s even more capable and may have more ports, and if you don’t, this is still an excellent option.
There are a whole host of Windows machines that are cheaper, but if you’re looking for a little more grunt we’d recommend the 13-inch MacBook Pro as it’s the closest you’ll find for the price. If you’re looking for a lot more power, you can also look at the new 14-inch or 16-inch MacBook Pro machines that carry the M1 Pro and M1 Max chips for huge performance leaps.
If Windows devices are more your thing, you can also check out the Microsoft Surface Laptop 4, which is a great stylish alternative to the Apple ecosystem. You get all the build quality and smart design of a Mac, but with a Windows operating system.

Trump-targeted Republican blasts Democrats for subsidizing his challenger
Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com
WASHINGTON, Aug 1 (Reuters) - U.S. Representative Peter Meijer, a Michigan Republican targeted by Donald Trump for voting to impeach the former president in 2021, accused Democrats on Monday of subsidizing the "entire campaign" of his Trump-endorsed challenger in Tuesday's primary election.
Meijer, who has been censured by two county Republican parties for opposing Trump and repudiated by a third, is locked in a close race for renomination against John Gibbs, a far-right Republican and former Trump administration official who questions Democratic President Joe Biden's 2020 election victory.
"You would think that the Democrats would look at John Gibbs and see the embodiment of what they say they most fear," Meijer wrote in an opinion article that appeared on Monday in the online newsletter, Common Sense. "Instead they are funding Gibbs."

Democrats are promoting Gibbs and other far-right candidates in the hopes of bettering their odds in the November midterm elections, when Republicans are widely favored to win back control of the House of Representatives.
Nationwide, Democrats have spent millions on candidates who echo Trump's false claims that the 2020 election was rigged, even as party leaders say those very same candidates pose a threat to U.S. democracy. They have made similar moves in Pennsylvania, Maryland and Illinois. read more
Meijer accused Democrats of selling out "any pretense of principle for political expediency — at once decrying the downfall of democracy while rationalizing the use of their hard-raised dollars to prop up the supposed object of their fears."
He cited two Democratic members of the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack - Jamie Raskin and Elaine Luria - for supporting the campaign against him. Raskin and Luria did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Meijer, one of only 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump over the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, said Democrats have launched a $435,000 ad buy to promote Gibbs in the final days of the Michigan primary campaign.
That sum dwarfs the $345,000 in contributions that Gibbs' campaign has received since last November, according to Federal Election Commission documents.
"The Democrats are not merely attempting to boost a candidate over the finish line: They are subsidizing his entire campaign," Meijer wrote.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the campaign arm of the House Democrats that produced and financed the Gibbs ad, was not immediately available for comment.
Meijer is not alone in his criticism of the Democratic strategy.
"This decision by the DCCC to try and sink @RepMeijer -- one of the few Rs to vote for impeachment -- and lift his election-denying MAGA opponent in tomorrow's @GOP primary makes them an instrument of Trump's vengeance. It's wrong," tweeted David Axelrod, one-time adviser to former Democratic President Barack Obama.

CLEVELAND – Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson was suspended without pay for six games Monday for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy following accusations of sexual misconduct made against him by two dozen women in Texas, two people familiar with the decision said.
The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the decision had not been publicly released. Watson, who played for four seasons with Houston before being traded to Cleveland in March, recently settled 23 of 24 lawsuits filed by women alleging sexual harassment and assault during massage therapy appointments in 2020 and 2021.
The NFL has three days to appeal the decision by disciplinary officer Sue L. Robinson. The NFL Players’ Association already stated it would abide by her ruling. If either side appeals, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell or someone he designates will make the decision, per terms of the collective bargaining agreement. The union then could try to challenge that ruling in federal court.
The league had pushed for an indefinite suspension of at least one year and at least a $5 million fine for the 26-year-old Watson during a three-day hearing before Robinson in June.
Watson can continue to practice and play in exhibition games before his suspension begins the first week of the regular season. He can return to practice in Week 4 and would be eligible to play on Oct. 23 when the Browns play at Baltimore.
Watson, who signed a fully guaranteed $230 million, five-year contract, will lose only $345,000 if the suspension is unchanged because his base salary this season is $1.035 million. His $45 million signing bonus is not affected by the suspension.
After learning the ruling was imminent, the NFLPA issued a joint statement with Watson on Sunday night, saying they will not appeal Robinson’s ruling and urged the league to follow suit.
“Every player, owner, business partner and stakeholder deserves to know that our process is legitimate and will not be tarnished based on the whims of the League office” the union said in a statement.
As he awaited the ruling, Watson has been in training camp with the Browns. He has continued to take most of the reps with the first-team offense, which will be turned over to backup Jacoby Brissett while he’s sidelined.
While the NFL pushed for a severe penalty, the union had argued Watson shouldn’t be punished at all because he was not convicted of any crime.
Two grand juries in Texas declined to indict Watson on criminal complaints brought by 10 of the women.
This was the first case for Robinson, a former U.S. district judge who was jointly appointed by the NFL and the union to handle player misconduct — a role previously held by Goodell.
A three-time Pro Bowl pick with the Texans, Watson has seen his playing career stalled by the allegations that he acted inappropriately with the women during massage therapy sessions he scheduled via social media. He sat out the 2021 season after demanding a trade before the allegations came out.
In their lawsuits, the women accused Watson of exposing himself, touching them with his penis or kissing them against their will. One woman alleged Watson forced her to perform oral sex.
Watson has denied all wrongdoing, insisting any sexual activity with three of the women was consensual. He publicly insisted his goal was to clear his name before agreeing to confidential financial settlements with 20 of the women on June 21.
“This case started because one woman had the fortitude to step forward and make her voice heard,” said attorney Tony Buzbee, who represents the women in the civil lawsuits. “Her courage inspired many others with the same experience. None of this saga would have occurred without that one brave voice. One person can make a difference.
“I have been asked repeatedly about my thoughts in regard to the NFL’s proceeding with Deshaun Watson. Although some of my clients do have strong feelings in that regard, I have nothing meaningful to say about that process. I’ve said in the beginning that the civil process and the NFL’s disciplinary process are very different. My role was to advance the cause of my clients, in civil court — nothing more. I’ve done that. I am extremely proud of these women and our legal team’s efforts. The settlements are confidential. I won’t comment further on them.”
Watson’s high-profile case has renewed scrutiny of the league’s handling of player misbehavior, along with its support for women, and left the Browns wondering if they’ll ever find a franchise quarterback.
Since the trade, Watson has been on public display, with fans questioning whether the league had the authority to ban him from playing despite no criminal charges.
The league has been sensitive about its image and handing out the appropriate discipline for Watson after being criticized for its handling of previous cases of domestic violence or sexual misconduct against women involving Baltimore running back Ray Rice, Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and Cleveland running back Kareem Hunt among others.
For their part, the Browns were widely condemned for signing Watson. The team has been desperate to find a long-term answer at quarterback — they’ve had a league-high 32 starters since 1999 — and many questioned why the team would take on a player with so much baggage.
During his introductory news conference after he was traded to Cleveland, Watson was adamant about his innocence.
“I have never assaulted, disrespected or harassed any woman in my life,” he said at the dais, where he was joined by Browns general manager Andrew Berry and coach Kevin Stefanski. “I was raised differently. That is not my DNA. That is not my culture. That is not me as a person.”
He repeated those comments three months later during the Browns’ minicamp, insisting his only goal was to clear his name. However, a week later he settled 20 of the civil lawsuits. Any remaining lawsuits could still go to trial, but not until 2023 after both sides agreed to wait until after the upcoming season.
On July 15, 30 women settled lawsuits against the Texans after claiming the team ignored and enabled Watson as he harassed and assaulted them during the therapy sessions. Terms of the settlements were kept confidential.
Despite Watson’s legal entanglement, the Browns — along with several other teams — pursued Watson after the first grand jury declined to indict him.
Initially, Watson turned down the Browns. But Cleveland owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam enticed him with the richest fully guaranteed contract in league history, to that point.
Watson had other offers but chose the Browns and waived his no-trade clause to join a team coming off a disappointing 8-9 season. Cleveland completed the deal on March 18 by agreeing to send Houston three first-round draft picks and six selections overall for Watson.
The Haslams said any concerns they had about his character or behavior were alleviated when they flew to Houston along with Berry and Stefanski and spent time talking to Watson.
An All-American at Clemson, Watson was drafted by the Texans with the No. 12 pick in 2017. He started six games as a rookie before passing for 4,165 yards and 26 touchdowns in his second year.
Watson has developed into one of the league’s elite QBs, throwing for 4,823 yards and 33 TDs in 2020 despite playing on a Texans team that went just 4-12. | https://www.kxan.com/news/national-news/browns-quarterback-deshaun-watson-suspended-for-6-games-sources-say/ | 2022-08-01T15:47:14Z | https://www.kxan.com/news/national-news/browns-quarterback-deshaun-watson-suspended-for-6-games-sources-say/ | true | 50 |
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Aug. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Esperovax, a leading developer of oral mRNA biologics, and Life Magnetics, Inc., creators of RNA stabilization technology, today announced the signing of an agreement to co-develop an innovative new oral RNA therapeutic delivery system for colorectal cancer patients that can be stored at room temperature.
Oral and room temperature delivery of RNA therapeutics is a holy grail for the pharmaceutical industry. RNA therapeutics are safer, easier to design, and have far more targets than small molecule drugs. To date, the major limitation of RNA therapeutics is product shelf life. For example, the lifetime of mRNA is only around 7 hours at room temperature.
Esperovax was founded in 2019 to advance development of its oral mRNA platform, a transformative technology for delivering mRNA treatments to the abundant population of immune cells in the gastrointestinal tract via a small oral capsule.
Life Magnetics in turn, has developed a carbon coating that stabilizes RNA for shipping and transport. Esperovax began evaluating Life Magnetics' technology in March for therapeutic delivery. Prior to this, it had only been tested in diagnostics and wastewater surveillance where Michigan labs were using it to stabilize RNA in environmental samples collected in the field for transport back to the lab.
"One of the tricks to fighting cancer is to have technologies that target a specific type of cell," said Dr. O'Hagan, CEO of Esperovax. "Our new Hercules™ circular RNA technology platform will trigger the active therapeutic payload only inside colorectal cancer cells. This means we can deliver RNA that kills these specific cancer cells but is harmless in any other cell."
Our 24 month goal is demonstrating the technology is viable in animal models and protects RNA for months," said Dr. Kevin Hagadorn, co-creator of Life Magnetics' carbon coating technology. "A delivery platform that protects RNA and is compatible with encapsulation technologies is very valuable. We are confident this new partnership will accomplish exactly that."

WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging apps for smartphones. It is a feature-rich application and receives regular updates. Now imagine being able to use WhatsApp without your phone.
The feature by the platform was released months ago that allows users to access WhatsApp without their smartphone.
People can use this platform on four linked devices at the same time, without requiring their phones to be online. This means that even if your phone is switched off, you will be able to access WhatsApp on the laptop or desktop on the WhatsApp web version.
Essentially, the features allow users to use WhatsApp on their computer, laptop, tablet, or any other device without having an active internet connection on the smartphone.
You will require your smartphone the first time you try to log in to WhatsApp on any other device like your laptop or PC. Once you successfully log in, you won’t be required to use your phone again to access WhatsApp on a PC or laptop
Here are the steps that will help you do so:
Step 1: Search WhatsApp Web on your browser if you don’t want to download the desktop version of the app.
Step 2: The screen will show the WhatsApp Web link on the top, just click on it and a QR code will appear.
Step 3: Scan this QR code from your smartphone by opening WhatsApp > setting menu > Linked devices > Link device.
Step 4: You will see “Scan QR code” written on the top of your WhatsApp screen. So, now you just need to place your phone on the laptop’s screen ad scan the QR code.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — New Orleans District Attorney Jason Williams, who ran for his job on a reform platform that included reviewing and correcting wrongful convictions, told reporters Monday he now knows what it feels like to face “an overreaching, rogue prosecution.”
Williams was acquitted last week on federal tax charges that had hung over him since before he won the district attorney post in December 2020.
In his first public comments since the verdict, Williams invoked the names of several people exonerated in recent years after wrongful convictions.
“What happened to me can happen to anyone,” Williams said during a brief news conference on the steps of the state criminal courthouse. “My role here and my goal here is to make sure that justice is served in this building behind me.”
He also said he would continue a focus on prosecuting violent crime. It's a growing problem in a city with an undermanned police force and it has fed local criticism of some of Williams' policies, including a prohibition on charging suspects as habitual offenders, which can mean harsher sentences.
“Our city is in dire straits. We need everyone in the boat rowing in the same direction,” Williams said.
Williams' former law partner, Nicole Burdette, was convicted on four charges in the trial. Williams said he is confident she will be exonerated.
Burdette's attorneys last week said she had been offered immunity “in return for false testimony against Jason Williams.”
“She refused to lie or embellish the truth and she paid a dear cost for her integrity,” Williams said Monday.
Williams would not take questions before entering the courthouse. Federal prosecutors have declined comment on the verdict.
Williams and Burdett had been accused of conspiring to cheat on Williams’ taxes during a five-year period ending in 2017. The jury acquitted both on 10 counts involving Williams’ taxes, but convicted Burdett on four separate counts involving her own taxes. | https://www.chron.com/news/article/Williams-Trial-was-abuse-of-prosecutorial-17342897.php | 2022-08-01T15:56:22Z | https://www.chron.com/news/article/Williams-Trial-was-abuse-of-prosecutorial-17342897.php | false | 12 |

State officials are working toward a more permanent system to shelter those displaced by hurricanes, as about 10,000 remain in trailers and other temporary shelters heading into the 2022 storm season.
Casey Tingle, director of the Governor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (GOHSEP), discussed ongoing issues heading into the hurricane season at the Press Club of Baton Rouge last week.
Tingle said the state is working with the Federal Emergency Management Agency to streamline the system for housing those displaced by hurricanes using lessons learned from a series of natural disasters over the past three years, the Plaquemine Post South reports.
"FEMA always has money before, during and after for the necessary recovery work," he said. "But large scale housing requires congressional appropriation, which takes a lot longer. There's a disconnection between the feds and the states. It's a big challenge when dealing with displaced families."
GOHSEP created its own trailer program to more quickly house displaced residents after Hurricane Ida. The state program, which seeks reimbursement from FEMA, also allows for more relaxed rules than federal programs that cannot be located in flood zones, where the majority of those impacted live, BRProud reports.
"Those communities needed to have safe shelter close to their homes, many of them fish and have, you know, live on the water," Tingle said. "And so being able to keep them close to home and community was important."
GOHSEP officials are now working with FEMA to make the state program permanent, reusing trailers as people transition back to permanent housing from Hurricanes Ida and Laura.
"We are preparing as if that's a program that if we need to use it would be available to us. There's certainly some contracting that we need to do that we can do in advance," Tingle said. "Then what we call deactivating some of the units that are currently in use we are considering those that are feasible for our future mission."
Tingle said 4,500 trailers remain in use through the state program, along with another 3,800 in a FEMA program, from Hurricane Ida. About 1,700 FEMA trailers are also still in use around Lake Charles from Hurricane Laura, BRProud reports.
"In February and March, we totaled 5,000 mobile housing units and 15,000 residents in the most impacted areas," Tingle said, according to the Plaquemine Post South. "Federal, local, and state partnerships have helped with the temporary shelter process. It's never sufficient to meet the most challenging needs, but it's a helpful step forward."
The nearly 10,000 temporary trailers still in use from the most recent hurricanes could result in evacuations called earlier than in the past as storms approach this hurricane season, he said, according to The Advocate.
Tingle also discussed the importance of preparing for storms beforehand, including stocking up on supplies, gathering important documents, and helping neighbors to do the same. Residents should examine their home insurance policies as well, he said, keeping in mind flood insurance does not take effect until 30 days after a policy is purchased. | https://www.hannapub.com/ouachitacitizen/news/local_state_headlines/louisiana-officials-seek-a-better-solution-to-shelter-citizens-displaced-by-hurricanes/article_189bc5ae-0db3-11ed-a526-2787c16b6f0f.html | 2022-08-01T16:01:57Z | https://www.hannapub.com/ouachitacitizen/news/local_state_headlines/louisiana-officials-seek-a-better-solution-to-shelter-citizens-displaced-by-hurricanes/article_189bc5ae-0db3-11ed-a526-2787c16b6f0f.html | false | 4 |

Oil producers from the OPEC+ group meet on August 3 to agree to the next step in their market management. For the first time in a year, there is no clear policy for them to rubber stamp. That could make for an interesting (virtual) gathering.
The producer group has now added back all the production it agreed to cut in April 2020 — well, in theory at least — with the target for August back at the original baseline level.
In practice, the group’s production is lagging far behind, with the members pumping about 2.7 million barrels a day less than planned in May, the most recent month for which full production figures are available.
Nearly half of the shortfall is attributable to Russia, whose crude and refined products have been shunned by some European buyers after its troops invaded Ukraine in February. Diverting exports to India has helped Russia to avoid the full impact of buying bans, but it has not been able to completely offset the loss of much of its European market.
OPEC+ is facing calls to raise production. During his visit to Saudi Arabia earlier this month, US President Joe Biden asked the group to pump more to help bring down soaring inflation. This week’s meeting will be the first opportunity for all the members to discuss that request.
If it seriously considers raising output again, the group could increase everybody’s targets. But that would simply widen the gap between planned and actual production, given that few countries will be able to pump more than they already are. In practice, it is only Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates that have significant spare production capacity, and even then there are still questions about how much they can do.
The other alternative would be to make up for the shortfalls of some OPEC+ members by allowing those with spare capacity to pump more, redistributing the unused portions of existing targets. That may be a logical approach, but so far the group has shown no appetite to go down this road. There is likely to be resistance to any plan for redistributing unused allowances.
But the widening gap between target and actual output undermines OPEC+ credibility. It is becoming untenable for the group to claim to be stabilizing the oil market when prices are soaring and their production plans bear little resemblance to reality.
I don’t think Russia will give up any of its target to other members, even on a temporary basis, unless it gets something in return. The OPEC countries expended a lot of political capital to bring Moscow into their wider group, and will do almost anything necessary to keep it there. They aren’t likely to end Russia’s output target parity with Saudi Arabia, and that would make redistributing the unused portions of other countries’ targets problematic.
Don’t count on Russia supporting anything that would substantially reduce oil prices. In order to persuade refiners in India to process their crude, Russian sellers have been forced to offer big discounts. The country’s flagship Urals export grade traded at a discount of nearly $35 a barrel to benchmark Brent crude in April-May. Although that’s narrowed more recently, Urals was still trading at $25 a barrel below Brent in the month to mid-July.
That probably rules out a big increase in output targets, as Russia doesn’t want even lower oil prices. The Kremlin needs to keep filling its coffers to pay for its war in Ukraine, and it’s surely relishing the pain that high energy prices are causing those that oppose it.
Yet OPEC’s own analysts show a growing need for its crude. The world will need almost 30.5 million barrels a day from this smaller group during the current quarter to balance supply and demand. That’s 1.74 million barrels a day more than the 13 OPEC countries pumped in June.
Consumers are drawing more than 1 million barrels a day of crude and refined products out of emergency stockpiles, but most of that’s due to end in October. If OPEC doesn’t fill the gap, either prices will rise or demand will have to come down. Mostly likely, one will follow the other.
This will be the first OPEC+ meeting in more than a year without a pre-agreed output plan. That ought to allow the group to make a proper assessment of what the world really needs from it, but I fear the heavy hand of the Kremlin will forestall any meaningful attempt to bring down oil prices. | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/opinion/dont-count-on-opec-pumping-more-oil-russia-is-in-the-way-8933211.html | 2022-08-01T16:06:11Z | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/opinion/dont-count-on-opec-pumping-more-oil-russia-is-in-the-way-8933211.html | false | 6 |
(WFLA) — Edgewell Personal Care Company issued a recall Friday for three batches of Banana Boat Hair & Scalp sunscreen sprays after an internal review of product samples found traces of benzene.
Benzene is a human carcinogen that can lead to leukemia, blood cancer in bone marrow, and other blood disorders. People typically are exposed to the chemical in their environment through skin contact, inhalation, or ingestion.
The chemical is not an ingredient in the sunscreen spray, but the FDA said that “unexpected levels of benzene” came out of the spray bottles’ propellant.
As of this report, Edgewater said it has not learned of any illnesses related to the presence of benzene in their products nor does the FDA believe exposure to the benzene in the sprays could be particularly dangerous.
“Daily exposure to benzene in the recalled products would not be expected to cause adverse health consequences according to an independent health assessment using established exposure modeling guidelines,” the FDA advisory said.
However, the FDA said that if you have the affected product, stop using it and throw it out.
The benzene is only linked to the three batches mentioned in the advisory. The FDA provided the following information on the batches affected by the recall:
The FDA said Edgewater has told retailers to remove any of the remaining products with the lot codes above from their shelves. If you own a Banana Boat sunscreen spray, you can find the lot code on the bottom of the can.
Those who purchased the affected products can be eligible for reimbursement from Banana Boat, according to the advisory.
If you have had an adverse reaction to the spray, you can report your situation to the FDA MedWatch.
If you have questions related to the recall, you can call Edgewell Personal Care at (888) 686-3988 Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. EDT or visit www.bananaboat.com. | https://www.wjbf.com/news/3-batches-of-banana-boat-sunscreen-sprays-recalled-due-to-traces-of-cancer-causing-chemical/ | 2022-08-01T16:08:18Z | https://www.wjbf.com/news/3-batches-of-banana-boat-sunscreen-sprays-recalled-due-to-traces-of-cancer-causing-chemical/ | true | 18 |

Although there are just four weeks left in this summer’s transfer window, Crystal Palace are plotting some ambitious moves.
That’s according to recent reports, which claim Patrick Vieira’s Eagles are keen on not one, but two, Chelsea players.
Striker Timo Werner is a leading candidate to leave Stamford Bridge this summer, with new Blues’ owner Todd Boehly believed to be fed up with the misfiring German, and although Palace are well in the mix, the Londoners are also keen on winger Callum Hudson-odoi.

That’s according to the Daily Mirror, who claims the Eagles are big admirers of both Werner and Callum Hudson-odoi, and have already begun talks over a surprise summer transfer over the latter.
Since forcing his way through the Blues’ youth academy and being promoted to the club’s senior first team in 2019, Hudson-odoi, who has two years left on his deal, has gone on to feature in 126 matches, in all competitions, directly contributing to 38 goals along the way. | https://www.caughtoffside.com/2022/08/01/forget-timo-werner-crystal-palace-line-up-move-for-another-chelsea-star/ | 2022-08-01T16:15:05Z | https://www.caughtoffside.com/2022/08/01/forget-timo-werner-crystal-palace-line-up-move-for-another-chelsea-star/ | false | 1 |
Welcome to Refinery29's Why I Do It, a series where we ask inspirational, successful people 29 questions about what fuels them on and off the clock. Because, let's face it: life is about so much more than chasing inbox zero.
It's kinda fitting that Jordan Chiles was named after Michael Jordan. They're both talented, determined, and serious about their craft — and, like MJ, Chiles is well on her way to becoming a GOAT. The 21-year-old gymnast reached elite status at just 11 years old, going on to compete at the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Games, where she stepped in for Simone Biles, competed in the uneven bars and the balance beam, and helped Team USA to win silver. Now, she's a freshman on the gymnastics team at UCLA and was named Breakthrough Athlete Of The Year at the 2022 Name, Image and Likeness Awards. Here's why she does it.

What’s the very first thing you do when you wake up? Look at my phone.
What’s the last thing you do before you go to bed? I pray.
Power nap or power workout? Power naps. I love naps.
Early bird or night owl? Night owl.
How many unread emails do you have in your inbox right now? 105
Iced coffee or hot coffee? Iced.
What’s your favorite thing that you keep on your desk or work space? I have a mini globe — I look at all the place I've traveled.
When was the last time you felt like a success? Last week. I feel like every time I walk into the gym and accomplish my daily goals, that it is a successful day or moment. There are little goals that I give myself and if I accomplish those they are just as important as the big ones.
What do you do on those days when you don’t feel that confident? Remind myself of everything that I've accomplished and remember to give myself some grace.
What’s one thing you do every day, without fail? Gymnastics!
What’s something you wish you did every day? Drink more water.
What’s your favorite piece of advice that you’ve gotten? That I deserved to be here — a little piece of advice from my bestie, Simone Biles. We met and connected during Team USA camps, but in 2014 we started to become friends. Well, actually, more like sisters.
What’s your least-favorite piece of advice that you’ve gotten? I've never been given bad advice, just bad opinions.

Who inspires you the most? Every Black athlete that has come before me.
Who, if anyone, do you try to emulate? The Lord Jesus.
What’s something people ask you for advice about often? How to overcome difficulties in my sport. I tell them that difficulties will always be part of anything you do in life. In gymnastics, it is a daily thing. It could be that things are not going right or maybe your mind isn’t connected to what you are doing. I tell them that it is important to push beyond how you are feeling in that moment and to remember why you are doing it — never forget your why.
What’s a piece of advice you felt proud to give? I told Simone that it was okay. I said you have carried us this whole time, so now it's time for us to carry you. I said this to her after she was unable to continue team finals at the Olympics — she was sad and hurt that she was not able to continue, and I wanted her to know that she had been carrying us the whole time and to let us carry her through that moment.
What is your most-used app on your phone? TikTok.
Where do you put your phone while you’re sleeping? On the charger next to my bed.
What do you do when you feel yourself burning out? I relax and reset and then just continue on to the next day. I like to go through Pinterest and get inspired, I like to draw, but my favorite thing to do is go shopping. Taking time away from the sport is important.
Advertisement
What’s something you consider a secret weapon? My ability to push through when everything isn't going well.
Where are you, compared to where you thought you’d be at 12 years old? I'm exactly where I thought I would be.
If you could change one thing about your professional life, what would it be? Nothing, because even the messed-up parts pushed me to who I am today.
What’s been your biggest pieces of support, helping you get where you are? My family, my friends, and God.
What do you do to start your day? I get in the shower and close my eyes to wake myself up.
What do you do to end your workday? Relax with friends and my puppy, Chanel — CoCo for short. She is a toy poodle and I love her.
What’s the last song you listened to? "Wild Side" by Normani.
What’s the last photo in your favorites folder on your phone? Me holding 4s up in my UCLA leotard. It was created by an African-American football player who after scoring put the four fingers up to represent being a Bruin, and it just caught on from there.

WASHINGTON, Aug 1 — The United States today imposed sanctions on Chinese and other companies it said were used by one of Iran’s largest petrochemical brokers to sell tens of millions of dollars’ worth of Iranian products to East Asia, as Washington continues to crack down on Iranian oil sales to the region.
The US Treasury Department in a statement accused the designated companies of being used by Iran’s Persian Gulf Petrochemical Industry Commercial Co. to facilitate the sale of Iranian petroleum and petrochemical products from Iran to East Asia.
The United States imposed sanctions four companies from Hong Kong, one from the United Arab Emirates, and one from Singapore today, according to the Treasury website, the latest salvo in its stepped-up effort to enforce US sanctions designed to slash Iran’s revenues from oil and petrochemicals.
The action freezes any US-based assets and generally bars Americans from dealing with them. Those that engage in certain transactions with the firms also risk being hit by sanctions.
Since taking office in January 2021, US President Joe Biden has been loathe to sanction Chinese entities engaged in the oil and petrochemical trade with Iran due to hopes of securing an agreement to revive the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.
Efforts to resurrect the deal - under which Iran had curbed its nuclear program in exchange for relief from US and other sanctions - have so far failed, leading the US administration to look for other ways to increase pressure on Iran.
“The United States continues to pursue the path of diplomacy to achieve a mutual return to full implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action,” the Treasury’s Under Secretary of for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, Brian Nelson, said in the statement, referring to the 2015 deal by its formal name.
“Until such time as Iran is ready to return to full implementation of its commitments, we will continue to enforce sanctions on the illicit sale of Iranian petroleum and petrochemicals.” — Reuters | https://www.malaymail.com/news/world/2022/08/01/us-issues-fresh-iran-sanctions-targets-chinese-uae-firms/20500 | 2022-08-01T16:19:47Z | https://www.malaymail.com/news/world/2022/08/01/us-issues-fresh-iran-sanctions-targets-chinese-uae-firms/20500 | false | 6 |

Commonwealth Games: Laura Kenny wins scratch race gold at track cycling
Last updated on .From the section Commonwealth Games
England's Laura Kenny timed her attack to perfection to win scratch race gold - her first Commonwealth Games title in eight years.
On the Lee Valley VeloPark track where she made her name at the 2012 Olympics, Kenny rounded Scotland's Neah Evans on the final bend and stormed to the line amid deafening roars from the crowd.
New Zealand's Michaela Drummond was second while Canada's Maggie Coles-Lyster won the bronze.
Evans finished in an agonising fourth.
"I can't believe it honestly, I said to Jase [Jason Kenny - her husband] 'I think this is going to be my last race'," Kenny told BBC Sport.
"I watched Adam Peaty completely reflect in his interview and I thought that is me all over.
"I've lost the spark, training doesn't come that easy. Every day I'm like 'here we go again'. I've been there three Olympic cycles now. To keep picking yourself up after this whole year has been a nightmare. I have absolutely just lost motivation.
"Then last night I was messaging my new coach Len and I was like 'no, I'm not giving up, I have one more roll of the dice please just help me'. It could not have been better set up if I tried."
Five-time Olympic champion Kenny's victory marks a first track cycling gold medal for England at the Birmingham Games.
The 30-year-old won bronze in the team pursuit earlier in the Games but was off the pace in Sunday's points race, finishing 13th.
Her victory comes just months after she suffered a miscarriage, followed by an ectopic pregnancy.
"To cross the line here in London I could not ask for anything more," Kenny added.
"Sunday left a pretty bad taste to be honest. I just wasn't in the right frame of mind.
"You see Matt Walls crash like that and it really makes you think 'what am I doing?'. I have been so lucky my whole career I have had one broken shoulder and one broken arm.
"You see something like that... I was having a serious confidence crisis. I just didn't want to be on the track and when that happens I race badly and I don't get a result. And that's what happened. Whereas today I was so fired up. I kept saying to myself in the toilet, 'I can do this'.
"Some man on the start line said 'you've got this Laura' and I felt like turning round to him and saying 'yes I have'. I was like a completely different bike rider."

Bengaluru: The Karnataka Congress workers and leaders are hopeful of brokering peace between two warring factions of Opposition leader Siddaramaiah and state Congress president D.K. Shivakumar during the scheduled visit of former Congress president Rahul Gandhi to Hubballi on Tuesday (August 2).
Rahul Gandhi will visit Karnataka to attend celebrations of 75 years of birth anniversary of Siddaramaiah in Davanagere city on August 3. In fact, the celebration of birth anniversary has become a bone of contention between Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar factions.
Meanwhile, Siddaramaiah’s followers have released an album titled “naane mundina CM” (I am the next CM) dedicated to veteran Congress leader and former Karnataka Chief Minister.
The Congress is hoping to make a comeback in Karnataka in the upcoming assembly elections of 2023 riding on anti-incumbency. According to Congress insiders, the tussle between Shivakumar and Siddramaiah is showing all signs of affecting party’s prospects in the upcoming Assembly elections.
Rahul Gandhi would hold a meeting in Hubballi on Tuesday night during which he is expected to address the issue and bring cohesion between Shivakumar and Siddaramaiah.
The Congress high command had managed to patch up both leaders during the ‘Chintan Shivir’ held in May in Udaipur in Rajasthan.
Sources said the meet will address the core issue of “next CM” campaign by both camps.
Meanwhile, former Union Minister Veerappa Moily has announced that former opposition leader of Legislative Council S.R. Patil is also capable of becoming the chief minister, creating more confusion.
The Congress leaders in Karnataka have requested the party high command to bring an understanding among leaders.
For the first time the party has formed the Political Affairs Committee in which 28 Congress leaders and 7 special invitees have been made members to discuss the roadmap with an aim to attain victory in the upcoming assembly elections.
The meeting chaired by Rahul Gandhi will be attended by Siddaramaiah, Shivakumar, and Opposition leader in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge, former Union Minister and Congress Working Committee Member Veerappa Moily and others.
The leaders will also discuss Bharat Jodo Yatra which will take place in the state in November.
Rahul Gandhi is also expected to meet Lingayat seer Shivamurthy Murugha Sharanaru, and other seers. | https://www.siasat.com/rahul-gandhi-to-visit-karnataka-to-discuss-key-party-issues-2381558/ | 2022-08-01T16:25:45Z | https://www.siasat.com/rahul-gandhi-to-visit-karnataka-to-discuss-key-party-issues-2381558/ | true | 2 |
Rocket crash Saturday; will it land in Kansas or Missouri?
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Chinese rocket is set to crash on Saturday, July 30, but is there a chance that it could land in Kansas or Missouri?
Scientist and host of Netflix show “Emily’s Wonder Lab,” Emily Calandrelli, has been posting updates on her social media accounts since July 23, the day before the rocket was first launched. Her updates are based on predictions by The Aerospace Corporation .
If you win the $1 billion Mega Millions jackpot, here’s what experts say to do nextAccording to Aerospace, the rocket body was first launched from the Wenchange Space Launch Site in China at 6:22 Coordinated Universal Time (11:22 a.m. Central Time) on July 24.
As the estimated crash time gets closer, scientists have been able to narrow down where the rocket debris might land. As of Friday at noon, they had it narrowed down to a crash time window of 12 hours and eight possible routes across the world.
Three of those routes passed over the United States. Although none of the routes pass over the Kansas City area, one does pass over southern Missouri, southern Kansas and central/northwestern Kansas.
Calandrelli states the rocket could currently crash down along any of these paths shown on the map.
Arrowhead renovation a top priority, Chiefs’ Clark Hunt saysMost of the rocket will burn up in Earth’s atmosphere, but a significant portion of it — about five to nine metric tons (5.5 to 9.9 tons), according to The Aerospace Corporation’s Center for Orbital Reentry and Debris Studies, will make it all the way down.
USA Today reports experts emphasize the risk to people generally, and to the United States, is extremely low.
As of Friday 2 p.m. CT, the estimated crash time is now 1:05 p.m. CT (+/-5 hours). That window will continue to narrow down over the next 24 hours, according to Calandrelli.
A similar incident occurred in May 2021 with a Chinese rocket of the same class . People in Jordan, Oman and Saudi Arabia reported sightings of the Chinese rocket debris on social media, with scores of users posting footage of the debris over the Middle East.
In March 2021, debris from a Falcon 9 rocket launched by U.S. aeronautics company SpaceX fell to Earth in Washington and on the Oregon coast.
For the latest updates on the rocket’s reentry and landing, check The Aerospace Corporation website, which is being updated regularly.
China was heavily criticized after sending a missile to destroy a defunct weather satellite in January 2007, creating a large field of hazardous debris imperiling satellites and other spacecraft.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Kidney Care Partners (KCP) – the nation's largest non-profit, non-partisan coalition of more than 30 organizations representing patients, professional care providers, and a wide range of kidney care stakeholders – applauded the introduction of the bipartisan bill in the U.S. House of Representatives, H.R. 8594, to amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to clarify and preserve the breadth of the protections under the Medicare Secondary Payer Act. Sponsored by Representatives Yvette Clarke (D-NY), Jodey Arrington (R-TX), Buddy Carter (R- GA) and Danny Davis (D-IL), the legislation, if passed, would restore protections intended by Congress in the original enactment of the language at issue in the Medicare Secondary Payor Act and ensure individuals living with end stage renal disease (ESRD) – or kidney failure -- cannot be discriminated against based on their need for dialysis.
"KCP thanks Representatives Clarke, Arrington, Carter and Davis for their leadership on this bill and for acting quickly to address the troubling efforts of private insurers to force individuals requiring dialysis care out of their preferred plan," said Michele Kimball, executive director of KCP. "This legislation will prevent harm to these vulnerable individuals by eliminating any distinction among patients by insurers based on their need for dialysis care, which we believe was always the true intent of the Medicare Secondary Payer Act. It will also help to reinforce the Medicare Part A Trust Fund, which is increasingly underfunded."
"As someone who has personally and painfully experienced the limitations of Medicare when needing a new wheelchair, I applaud this effort to protect a patient's right to choose the best coverage option for themselves," said Dialysis Patient Citizens (DPC) Board of Directors President Andrew Conkling. "Preserving an individual's right to continue their private insurance plan allows for continuity of care and creates an incentive for insurers to cover detection and treatment of chronic kidney disease. Detection and care for early kidney disease can help delay the need for dialysis- ultimately creating cost savings and improving outcomes. Passage of H.R. 8594 would be a win not just for those already living on dialysis but for any American living with or at risk of kidney disease."
Earlier this year, KCP expressed concern that health plans discriminated against those with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) by limiting coverage of life-sustaining treatment, ultimately driving patients to drop their private group coverage, many of which included additional financial protections for both them and their families, in favor of Medicare. This issue was recently considered by the Supreme Court in the Marietta Memorial Hospital Employee Benefit Health Plan v. DaVita case.
"Fundamentally, this is a coverage and cost issue – one that directly impacts patients' ability to afford needed kidney care while further reducing equity among patients in accessing it. Passage of H.R. 8594 will once and for all prevent insurers from pushing dialysis patients prematurely from private insurance into the Medicare program. Its' passage would be a win for patients and the American taxpayer, and KCP urges Congress to act swiftly on this important measure," Kimball concluded.

BWX Technologies (BWXT) Earnings Expected to Grow: Should You Buy?
BWX Technologies (BWXT) is expected to deliver a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended June 2022. This widely-known consensus outlook gives a good sense of the company's earnings picture, but how the actual results compare to these estimates is a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price.
The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on August 8. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.
While the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call, it's worth handicapping the probability of a positive EPS surprise.
Zacks Consensus Estimate
This supplier of nuclear fuel and components to the U.S. government is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.73 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +17.7%.
Revenues are expected to be $535.26 million, up 6% from the year-ago quarter.
Estimate Revisions Trend
The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 2.44% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.
Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change.
Earnings Whisper
Estimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. This insight is at the core of our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction).
The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.
Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.
A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.
Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).
How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for BWX?
For BWX, the Most Accurate Estimate is the same as the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that there are no recent analyst views which differ from what have been considered to derive the consensus estimate. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of 0%.
On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #3.
So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that BWX will beat the consensus EPS estimate.
Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?
Analysts often consider to what extent a company has been able to match consensus estimates in the past while calculating their estimates for its future earnings. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.
For the last reported quarter, it was expected that BWX would post earnings of $0.66 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.69, delivering a surprise of +4.55%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates two times.
Bottom Line
An earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.
That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.
BWX doesn't appear a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.
An Industry Player's Expected Results
Among the stocks in the Zacks Electronics - Miscellaneous Components industry, Universal Display Corp. (OLED) is soon expected to post earnings of $0.98 per share for the quarter ended June 2022. This estimate indicates a year-over-year change of +15.3%. This quarter's revenue is expected to be $150.48 million, up 16.1% from the year-ago quarter.
Over the last 30 days, the consensus EPS estimate for Universal Display has been revised 2.8% down to the current level. Nevertheless, the company now has an Earnings ESP of -9.18%, reflecting a lower Most Accurate Estimate.
This Earnings ESP, combined with its Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Universal Display will beat the consensus EPS estimate. Over the last four quarters, the company surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times.

…As Navy Foils Stealing of Crude Oil/Products worth over N25billion in Niger Delta.
…Destroys 247 Illegal Refinery Sites, Arrests 85 Suspects, Impounds 72 Boats.
By Kingsley Omonobi
In furtherance of its zero tolerance for corruption, authorities of the Nigerian Navy have charged 13 Officers and Ratings before a General Court Martial at the Western Naval Command headquarters in Lagos for offences ranging from conniving with crude oil thieves and pipeline vandalism and other Maritime infractions.
Sources told Vanguard that among those facing the Naval Court Martial were some officers who connived with people of some oil producing communities in the Niger Delta including traditional leaders, to operate suspected illegal refineries with siphoned crude oil.
A senior officer said “The Navy has routinely warned its personnel to desist from any act of involvement or compromise with oil thieves. As a matter of fact, to demonstrate the zero tolerance of the Navy for COT (Crude Oil Theft), some officers who at a time were alleged to be complicit in COT are presently facing charges before a court martial”.
However, Naval Forces fighting to rid the nation’s maritime domain of criminality have successfully foiled oil thievery, illegal oil bunkering, and pipeline vandalism and stealing of crude oil and its products worth over Twenty-Five Billion naira (N25,000,000) since April this year.
In this regard, the Navy has destroyed 278 Illegal Refinery Sits, arrested a total of 85 Suspects, impounded 72 arrested Boats, 23 vehicles and tankers, destroyed 127 Illegal Refinery Ovens, destroyed 102 Illegal Refinery Large Pits, destroyed 148 Illegal Refinery Storage Tanks, recovered 41 Outboard Engine and 35 Pumping Machines.
Director of Naval Information, Commodore AO Ayo-Vaughan who made this known on Monday, noted that the Navy recovered 23.11million (110,102.59litres) of AGO, 39.66million liters’ of Crude Oil (230,882 barrels), 649. 775. 38 liters’ of DPK, 345,000.49 liters’ of PMS, 380,000 liters’ of Sludge and 66, 000 liters’ of LPFO.
Speaking further on the fight against oil theft, Commodore Ayo-Vaughan said, the Nigerian Navy in synergy with the NNPC on 1 April 2022 launched ‘Operation Dakatar Da Barawo’ (OPDDB) meaning, ‘Stop the Thief’ in Hausa. The operation is to curb COT and associated crimes.
“The ongoing OPDDB has seen the mobilization of the entire Nigerian Navy Operations Bases and Forward Operating Bases, Ships, helicopters, personnel including the maritime surveillance infrastructure of the Navy in collaboration with sister Services and other security agencies in the Niger Delta with the generous logistical support of NNPC.
“The entire region has indeed felt the impact of OPDDB because most oil thieves have been put out of business, the carbon soot that was predominant in some places due to the operation of Illegal refineries has disappeared and innocent citizens have been saved from the health dangers/hazards the fumes/soot posed to them.
“Navy personnel in the Niger Delta creeks have repeatedly raided these IRS to ensure they remain inactive, unproductive, and moribund.
“At the strategic level there are regular and fruitful exchanges, engagements and meetings between the leadership of the navy and that of NNPC to continually reappraise, update and situate the operation so as to fashion out new strategies to curb the menace.
“The primary thrust and major effort of the navy is the ongoing fight against COT and a lot of resources, equipment and logistics are being factored into the operation to sustain the effort.
Explaining the difference between oil theft and oil losses which is mostly alluded to by economy watchers, he said, “Oil theft occurs when the crude oil is siphoned from oil wells or from vandalized pipelines into barges or wooden boats destined for ships at sea or the illegal refineries.
“The loss on the other hand occurs when a pipeline is shut down, for example the Trans-Niger Pipeline. The barrels of oil that would have been transported for sale cannot be, hence it is a loss to the NNPC.
He said, “Claims of theft of 108,000 barrels of crude oil for instance implies that on a daily basis 22 x 5,000 barrel (5 tonne) capacity barge would be required by oil thieves to convey the consignment through the creeks to the high sea for sale to ships.
“In a month therefore, about 660 barges will be required to convey the acclaimed quantity of stolen crude to sea.
“This is impossible because such a mass movement of barges is impossible giving the operation and daily patrols of the Nigerian Navy.
“Furthermore, crude oil losses are attributed to Metering errors and Shut-In as explained by NNPC. Operators of IRS in the Niger Delta source crude oil mainly from unused and unsealed oil wells and vandalized pipelines to which illegal connections are made to siphon oil.
Commodore Ayo-Vaughan reiterated that the Nigerian Navy has not reneged to appeal to political, traditional and opinion leaders in the region to educate the people to note the environmental, economic and health hazards the crime of COT and IRS pose to the operators, people and entire region, hence the need to dissuade the oil thieves from the crime.” | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/08/13-naval-officers-to-face-court-martial-in-lagos-for-connivance-oil-theft/ | 2022-08-01T16:35:49Z | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/08/13-naval-officers-to-face-court-martial-in-lagos-for-connivance-oil-theft/ | true | 1 |

Rapper 6ix9ine is on vacation!
The artist 6ix9ine and his girlfriend are taking a trip through South America where they visited countries like Ecuador, Colombia and now Brazil. The rapper is in Rio de Janeiro this Thursday, where he visited some tourist spots in the state and distributed money wherever he went.
His first meeting with fans was on Copacabana beach. The artist took pictures and caught the attention of people at the scene. In a video of a live made by the rapper’s girlfriend, we can see the artist at a kiosk on the edge of Rio de Janeiro talking to some fans, when someone asks if the rapper wants to visit one of Rio’s favelas.
6ix9ine visited the favelas of PPG, Mangueira and Vidigal. While visiting the PPG, which is home to over 10,000 residents, 6ix9ine distributed about 5 thousand dollars to children. On Friday the rapper and his friends still visited some tourist spots and stopped in Vidigal.
This Saturday, before leaving, the rapper also visited the Mangueira favela, one of the most dangerous favelas in Rio de Janeiro. The artist visited some places in the community, such as the Mangueira samba school court, and distributed money to the children. In order to get into his van to leave the venue, the rapper had to throw money in the air to disperse the crowd.
On his social networks, the rapper released a video of the moment, and revealed his feeling after visiting the place. “I couldn’t distribute money because it was a chaotic time that I needed an escape route. lol I’m not kidding BRAZIL I LOVE YOU! YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY, IN THE MOST DANGEROUS FAVELA, I FELT SAFE 💚 Thank you Brazil, God be with you.” | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/08/01/rapper-6ix9ine-reveals-feelings-after-meeting-favela-in-rio-de-janeiro/ | 2022-08-01T16:36:56Z | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/08/01/rapper-6ix9ine-reveals-feelings-after-meeting-favela-in-rio-de-janeiro/ | true | 1 |

India, 1st August 2022: TrendOye, headquartered in Mumbai is all set to launch its latest collection for the upcoming festive season. The renowned, trusted and leading online D2C brand for ’different & unique handcrafted, handwoven, hand-painted sarees’ was launched by husband-wife duo Anurag Madan and Kanchan Madan with an objective to promote Indian art and culture.
The brand offerings include Premium-Yet-Affordable Value-Based exquisite collections of different, trendy and modern, authentic, handwoven, handcrafted, hand-painted, power-woven, artistic & concept-based, quality Indian Designer Sarees. The collections from www.TrendOye.com are just a click away and are home-delivered globally.
Co-Founders Anurag Madan and Kanchan Madan, said, “Handwoven and Handcrafted artistic Indian sarees personify the rich craftsmanship and warmth of the Indian culture, and promoting it further provides a smooth livelihood to the skillful & hardworking Indian artisans.”
Anurag further added, “TrendOye Is Not Just An Another Online Store, It’s An Altogether Different Thought.”
The goal of the brand for its customers is to provide a value-based premium international online-shopping experience with a lifestyle and exotic product range along with superior service.
The Inception
The journey of TrendOye began in the year 2018 with the modest start from the bedroom of the co-founder’s home-sweet-home with offline offerings of authentic, unique designer handcrafted sarees with regional variations of the rich heritage of India, considering different & latest trends, hence, “TrendOye – being different”.
It all happened when Anurag Madan wanted to gift his wife Kanchan Madan an ethnic yet trendy-designer saree for their anniversary but even after exploring more than 10 stores including online saree ones, they couldn’t get the right combination of fabric, design & colour that Kanchan was looking based upon her persona & basis Anurag budget.
And that was a “Problem-Solving” moment for them when the idea of premium-yet-affordable, value-based ethnic wear germinated.
Kanchan Madan, Co-Founder of TrendOye, said, “At that moment we experienced and realized how the market was flooded with mediocre quality products and fake fabrics & its descriptions along with non-justified pricing. And via. TrendOye, we are trying to solve this problem by filling this gap in the market along with a small contribution in transforming this highly unorganized segment into an organized one.”
“We want our today’s trendy women to wear Indian traditional attires without any confusion about fake and non-authentic fabrics in their minds and experience full transparency and confidence with TrendOye. And for that we ensure that our products are authentic, genuine and best in quality, and are quality checked multiple times along with full transparency in its descriptions,” Kanchan further added.
After a couple of years of TrendOye’s gradual organic offline penetration, they launched the online store in July 2020. From promoting just a few sarees, today the brand is a leading and preferred destination for unique, quality designer bridal and celebration sarees.
The brand’s flagship range of offerings is Designer, Bridal & Celebration Sarees which are handcrafted and weaved by their super-skilled hard-working weavers and artisans. The purpose is to support these hard-working Indian weavers. The brand has been in association with approximately 450 artisans and weavers to date.
Helping & Promoting Weavers & Artisans
“To give a formal shape to our start-up and to outsource manufacturing authentic sarees, back in 2018-19 I use to travel a lot within the remote villages of the weaver's community across the nation. And during that process, I have closely witnessed the financial hardships of the weaver's community, and how they are commercially paid and still manage their entire family with limited finances, which deeply touched my heart. Since then, I always wished to do something for the upliftment of the Indian weaver community, and hence made up my mind to launch TrendOye”, says Anurag Madan, Co-founder at TrendOye.

A re-interpreted portrait of Welsh slave owner Thomas Picton has been displayed as part of a new exhibition at the National Museum Cardiff after it was removed last year. A community-led exhibition, 'Reframing Picton', is now on show at the museum, featuring newly-commissioned artworks alongside the portrait.
The portrait of the Lieutenant-General was taken down from the Faces of Wales gallery at the museum last year and had been kept in storage. Picton had previously been celebrated as a Welsh war hero and was the highest-ranking officer to die at the Battle of Waterloo, but criticism of his role in the slave trade caused the portrait to be removed.
As governor of Trinidad in the 1790s and early 1800s, Picton was cruel in his treatment of Black enslaved people and even authorised the use of torture on local people, including a 14-year-old girl, Luisa Calderone.

Picton's portrait will now return to the museum's walls in a travel frame. The community-led exhibition, 'Reframing Picton,' will go on show to the public from August 2, the day after Emancipation Day in Trinidad and Tobago (August 1).
It will see newly commissioned artworks by artists Gesiye and Laku Neg go on display. The decision to reinterpret the portrait was made as part of 'Reframing Picton' – a youth-led initiative involving Amgueddfa Cymru and community partner the Sub Sahara Advisory Panel (SSAP).
The group worked with Amgueddfa Cymru curators to include more information and context about Picton’s legacy as Governor of Trinidad in the turn of the 19th century and his torture of the people of Trinidad, including the torture of Luisa Calderone – information which was missing from the museum’s previous display of the portrait.
The project team looked at objects across Amgueddfa Cymru’s collections to reinterpret the narrative around Picton. Objects included in the interpretation included a newly acquired transcript of the trial of Picton in London in 1806; anti-slavery medals produced to support the late 18th century anti-slavery movement in Great Britain; and a medal from the 1819 Eisteddfod, won by Walter Davies in 1819 for an ode to Picton.
Fadhili Maghiya, Director at the Sub Sahara Advisory Panel said: “For the longest time Picton has been celebrated in Wales, now, for the first-time communities that were historically exploited and abused by the likes of Picton have a reason to celebrate.
“Our stories, told through beautiful and affirmative pieces of art, celebrating our resilience and remembering our heritage and history, our side of the story. There might be misconceptions that Amgueddfa Cymru - Museum Wales and the Sub-Sahara Advisory Panel’s Youth Network seek to rewrite history with this project.
"However, that is far from the truth. Reframing Picton aims to rewrite our future by challenging the way we engage with history. The project enables us to widen the spotlight that has for many years hidden the darkness of Picton in all its full and truthful context.
"SSAP’s Youth Network and Amgueddfa Cymru have played a key role in shaping important conversations that involves our Nation and our past. We hope this is the beginning of discovery to the many neglected voices that makes Wales a prosperous, globally responsible nation that brings communities together to thrive.”
Speaking to WalesOnline, Fadhili added that seeing the exhibitions in person "[took him] on an emotional journey, in some ways." He said that the young people involved with the project had done a lot of work in deciding what should be included on the plaques in the room where Picton's portrait has been re-displayed.
"We are excited to be part of this process," he continued. "We're looking at what is going on in other parts of the world, especially in the UK, and I feel like Wales in particular has made a huge stride to really address a lot of the injustices from minoritised groups, minoritised communities.
"We are excited to be part of that process by doing this project because in many ways people who are from minoritised communities do not feel these places are for them, it's not to tell their stories, so to speak. The story that they get to hear is one of colonialism and the terrible things in the past. That's why I think it's important with exhibitions right now, as much as being about trauma, but also celebratory of who we are."
The newly commissioned artworks on display alongside the portrait are by Trinidadian and Tobagonian multi-disciplinary artist Gesiye and UK-based Laku Neg, a group of four members of Trinidadian heritage that promotes expressions of African diaspora knowledge through the arts.
The two new commissions include an immersive installation of sculpture, objects from the Amgueddfa Cymru collections, photographs and film. These works will help reframe the legacy of Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Picton (1758-1815) and give a voice to those most affected by Picton’s actions, and to those who live with the legacy today.
Gesiye, from St Joseph in Trinidad, is visiting Wales for the first time for the exhibition. In her exhibit 'The Wound Is a Portal', eight black Trinidadians were invited to participate in a series of tattoos and conversations about connection to the island. She said: "This healing offering is a portal, an ode to our island, to its beauty and to our belonging. The trauma of slavery and colonialism continues to impact the African diaspora's relationship with the land.
"In “The Wound is a Portal,' I use Afro-diasporic healing modalities to weave a mythology of land and personhood, celebrating individual identity while creating space to acknowledge our truths and transmute our pain. I’m grateful to have created this work in collaboration with musicians, designers, filmmakers, photographers and eight volunteers from across the island who met through this experience."
Speaking to WalesOnline, Gesiye added: "It feels incredible to be here especially after so many months working on it in Trinidad from such a distance." She became involved with the project after responding to an open call put out by the museum. Gesiye also worked with photographer Luigi Creese as well as composer Omar Jarra. The project was multi-generational, with the youngest person Gesiye tattooed being 19 and the oldest - her great uncle - being 78.
"Picton's name is very present in Trinidad daily life because there are a lot of places named after Picton in Trinidad. My mum actually grew up on Picton street and there's a town named Picton, names after him," Gesiye continued. "I would say right now there's a conversation around whether or not we should change those names and around some of the statues that we have around the city that are celebrating and glorifying the colonial legacy when there was obviously there's a lot of trauma attached to it. It's not so much erasing it as it is talking about the ways that the entire story wasn't shared."
Laku Neg (Black Yard in Haitian Kwéyòl) is represented by four artists, three of Trinidadian heritage, who live and work in the UK. The group promotes expressions of African diaspora knowledge through the arts. Laku Neg's commission 'Spirited' is an immersive installation - a tapestry of memory and understanding, comprising a metal sculpture, bamboo frames, twisted paper, found objects and audio visual elements.
It is inspired by the Ol' Mas' traditions, practice and aesthetic of the Trinidad and Tobago Carnival. Their commission explores a re-presentation of Luisa, Thisbe, and Present - named victims of Picton’s brutal regime in Trinidad. Laku Neg, currently based in Cardiff, said: “This ancestral work honours fractured African traditions in Trinidad that feed and underpin our island culture. Here, we offer re-imaginings and re-creations of a period in which Trinidadian and Welsh history overlap.
"It is art borne of our imagination; it is motivated by experience and informed by, not responding to, history. It bears the fingerprints of communities of supporters in Trinidad and in Wales, who all helped to realise a vision that originated in our yard.”
Miguela Gonzalez, part of Laku-Neg, said that the project had become a "community experience." Mary-Anne Roberts, also part of Laku-Neg, added: "The way that we work normally in Trinidad for our annual carnival involves the community. When we do our traditional masks, people make their own stuff and they involve their friends and families in the making of that, and that's all that we did here today."
"To some extent [the exhibition] is about adding something else to the conversation," Miguela said. "I think often something like this is regarded as almost a cultural act of aggression sometimes, which it's not supposed to be. This is just us filling in the blanks on a story that wasn't fully told."
While it was removed, the portrait of Picton was replaced by 'Hedger and Ditcher: Portrait of William Lloyd', painted by Albert Houthuesen, a Dutch artist who became fascinated with the working life of the colliers in Trelogan, Flintshire, whilst on holiday in the area with his wife in the 1930s.
The growth of the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020 saw scrutiny of memorials celebrating Picton intensify. Cardiff Council voted to remove a marble statue of him from its Hall of Heroes at City Hall in July 2020, with carpenters subsequently putting a wooden box around it. Councillors said the statue was an “affront” to black people in Cardiff and was “no longer acceptable” to keep in City Hall.
David Anderson, Director of Amgueddfa Cymru - National Museum Wales, said: "In the past there's been a model of museums being neutral. Personally, I think that's intellectually devoid of justification because ethics has to apply to everything that every public body does and the denial of stories is unethical - the denial of historical analysis actually, of what objects and paintings represent is unethical.
"Very often, the ethics has come from the activists because we have not been providing it. That is something we want to address. The Welsh Government's Anti Racist Action plan is in a sense an encouragement now to public organisations to be activists and to work with activists and I have nothing but joy and pleasure that that's the case."
Mr Anderson said that it was "uplifting" to see the exhibition and that it was a "liberation" to work with the artists involved. He said that he hoped the exhibition would generate a dialogue to lead to reflection and bring change inside institutions such as the museum and across Wales. He added that he hoped that projects such as this would be given "pride of place in future cultural programming in Wales."
"There is such a dramatic difference between the approach of the English government to culture and the Welsh government to culture," he added. "Personally I am very proud to be working in Wales at a time like this when these kind of changes are happening. This exhibition isn't just a challenge to the rest of the arts and the museum, it's also a challenge to the approach to culture that the English government takes.
"I really do think that Wales is leading the way in re-thinking culture. We have to re-think culture. We have to make it much more created by all sorts of different communities in Wales. I do think what is being done now in Wales across all the arts and culture will be regarded by many other nations across the world as being significant and worthy of entering dialogue with us about as well."
Dr Kath Davies, Director of Collections and Research at Amgueddfa Cymru, said: “This project is the culmination of such positive working between Amgueddfa Cymru and the Sub Sahara Advisory Panel’s Youth Leadership Network and the Amgueddfa Cymru Producers. It highlights the importance and the positive outcomes that result from working together and listening to one another.
"We are very grateful to the young people of the SSAP’s Youth Network for giving their time in working with us at the museum, and we’re very proud of the artworks that have now entered the national collection. We thank the artists for working through a pandemic and across international borders. We hope that they spark conversations on representation and the many histories of Wales in a modern-day museum.”
Minister for Social Justice Jane Hutt and Deputy Minister for Deputy Minister for Arts and Sport and Chief Whip, Dawn Bowden said: “We’ve made it clear that we are committed to creating an anti-racist Wales by 2030, but in order to achieve this objective, we must all think about who we commemorate and how we do so.
"Amgueddfa Cymru has worked with a range of stakeholders to update its interpretation of Picton. Projects like this, demonstrate how important it is to understand our past, this isn’t about re-writing history, it’s about highlighting the context and taking a more holistic view of our past.
"We know that this is just the start of what will be a long process, and that we need our communities’ help in creating the Anti-racist we all want to live, and thrive in. If we get this right, we will create a society where everyone is valued for who they are and the contribution they make.”

Apollo Tyres introduces 2 tyre brands for Electric Vehicles in India. Details here
Apollo Tyres on Monday introduced two tyre brands for electric passenger vehicles and two-wheelers, as India's multinational tyre manufacturing company is bullish on opportunities across domestic and international markets.
A report by news agency PTI said that Apollo Tyres' Amperion will cater to electric vehicles in hatchback, compact sport utility vehicle (SUV) and sedan segments in the country like Tata Nexon, MG ZSE, Hyundai Kona among others.
On the other hand, WAV has been introduced for a majority of high-powered electric scooters including TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak and Ather 450.
Apollo Tyres is also planning to develop EV tyres for motorcycles in the next phase, PTI further reported.
"Our teams have invested years of research to understand the changing dynamics and requirements of vehicles in EV space to perfect the product that we are launching today," Apollo Tyres President (Asia Pacific Middle East and Africa) Satish Sharma, told the news agency on Monday.
Sharma added the company is already in talks with multiple Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) in India to supply the above tyres for electric vehicles and will be targeting a lion’s share in the EV space in India.
"There is every reason to believe that there will be rapid expansion of electric vehicles and therefore tyres for such models," Sharma also said.
He also pointed out that Apollo Tyres is looking to cater to electric models in the European market through its Vredestein brand.

Adani group acquired 400 MHz spectrum in 26 GHz band worth Rs 212, while Vodafone Idea snapped up 2,668 MHz worth Rs 18,784 crore, the minister added.
Viashnaw added that bids worth Rs 1,50,173 crore for 71 per cent of total 5G spectrum bid out in this latest auction.
While Adani group bought spectrum in the 26 GHz band, which is not for public networks, Jio acquired spectrum across several bands, including the coveted 700 MHz band that can provide 6-10 km of signal range and forms a good base for fifth generation (5G) in all 22 circles in the country.
A single towner can cover more area if 700 Mhz is used.
On being the highest bidder, Akash Ambani, Chairman, Reliance Jio Infocomm said: “We have always believed that India will become a leading economic power in the world by adopting the power of breakthrough technologies. This was the vision and conviction that gave birth to Jio. The speed, scale and societal impact of Jio’s 4G rollout is unmatched anywhere in the world. Now, with a bigger ambition and stronger resolve, Jio is set to lead India’s march into the 5G era."
Moreover, Gopal Vittal, M.D & CEO, Bharti Airtel said, “Airtel is delighted with the results of the 5G auction. This spectrum acquisition at the latest auction has been a part of a deliberate strategy to buy the best spectrum assets at a substantially lower relative cost compared to our competition. This will allow us to raise the bar on innovation and address the emerging needs of every discerning customer who demands the best experience in India. We are confident that we will be able to deliver the best 5G experience in India in terms of coverage, speeds and latency."
Billionaire Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Jio, Sunil Mittal-led Bharti Airtel, Vodafone Idea and a unit of billionaire Gautam Adani's flagship Adani Enterprises were in the race to bid for the 5G spectrum, which offers speeds about 10 times faster than 4G, lag-free connectivity and can enable billions of connected devices to share data in real-time.
Besides powering ultra-low latency connections, which allow downloading full-length high-quality video or movie to a mobile device in a matter of seconds (even in crowded areas), the Fifth Generation or 5G would enable solutions such as e-health, connected vehicles, more-immersive augmented reality and metaverse experiences, life-saving use cases, and advanced mobile cloud gaming, among others.
In the auction conducted last year - that had lasted two days - Reliance Jio picked up spectrum worth Rs 57,122.65 crore, Bharti Airtel bid about Rs 18,699 crore, and Vodafone Idea bought spectrum worth Rs 1,993.40 crore.

Bumps, bipartisanship in long fight for semiconductor bill
Five weeks ago, senior Biden administration aides gathered for their regular Thursday morning meeting about passing a bill to revive the U.S. computer chip sector, worried that it could be in peril.
After 18 months, the bipartisan effort to provide $52 billion for semiconductors was getting close to the finish line. But they were concerned that Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell might block it.
This was not just another would-be-nice bill. Many in the meeting had sat through multiple Situation Room briefings about frightening scenarios if the deal stalled. They had come to believe the very trajectory of the economy and national security was at stake.
The billions for computer chips and scientific research, they argued, could help to cut inflation, create new factory jobs, defend the U.S. and its allies and preserve an edge against an ambitious and aggressive China.
More than 90% of advanced chips come from Taiwan. Should Taiwan be invaded or shipping channels closed, the U.S. and much of the world would face a cascading economic crisis and find the weapon systems meant to defend their citizens impossible to maintain and update.
The Biden team resolved to ignore any possible McConnell threats as a “false choice” and keep working with Republican senators who had backed the bill, like John Cornyn of Texas, Todd Young of Indiana and Roger Wicker of Mississippi.
Brian Deese, director of the White House National Economic Council, recalled the sentiment coming out of the meeting: “There’s been too much progress, too much trust and there’s too much at stake” to see the effort stall now. “We’re going to keep our heads down and drive forward.”
Just hours later, McConnell vowed on Twitter that the semiconductor bill would be dead if Democratic senators tried to push through a separate budget and domestic spending package on a party-line vote.
But the Kentucky senator’s gambit would ultimately fail.
President Joe Biden will soon sign into law the $280 billion CHIPS and Science Act — which also includes substantial money for scientific research. The event has been delayed by Biden’s rebound case of COVID-19. This account of how the bill came together draws from interviews with 11 Biden administration and congressional officials, most of whom spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations.
The back story reveals the complexities of bipartisanship, even when all sides agree on the need to act.
McConnell threatened to block the semiconductor investment even though he supported the idea, hoping to head off separate Democratic legislation. Biden’s team took the unusual step of enlisting former members of the Trump administration — a group generally reviled by Democrats — to find Republican votes. There were GOP lawmakers such as Oklahoma Rep. Frank Lucas who helped craft the bill but ultimately felt obligated to vote against it, displeased by the Democratic tax increases and spending that could soon follow.
“House Republicans have been working in good faith this entire time to come to consensus legislation that can be passed by both chambers,” Lucas said in speech to the House last week. “But time and time again, we’ve been thwarted as Democratic leadership has moved the goalposts, shut down the process, and chosen their divisive, partisan policies.”
For most of the process, the technical nature of computer chips and scientific research meant that the talks could occur beyond the din of partisan squabbling. Both sides knew that government-funded research after World War II eventually led to the internet, MRIs, coronavirus vaccines and other innovations that shape today’s world. It was only toward the end, as success neared, that the politics were publicly amplified.
As administration officials see it, the bill cleared Congress last week because of a deep coalition and unrelenting persistence. But as many Republicans interpret events, they provided key support, then got double-crossed.
McConnell’s two-week blockade ended after West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin said on July 14 that he largely opposed his fellow Democrats’ spending and tax plans. Assuming Biden’s broader agenda was on ice, Senate Republicans could confidently vote for the computer chips bill.
But four hours after the chips bill passed the Senate on July 27, Manchin announced a major deal with Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer. There was $369 billion to fight climate change, a 15% minimum corporate tax, a lowering of prescription drug prices and some $300 billion in deficit reduction — the kind of package McConnell had wanted to stop. It also threw Republican support in the House into doubt.
In the end, though, Democrats still got help passing the bill from 24 Republicans, some of whom said it was vital to protect national security.
The process had begun 18 months earlier in an Oval Office meeting with lawmakers on Feb. 25 of last year, just a month into Biden’s presidency. The National Defense Authorization Act had approved investing in semiconductor development, but Congress still had to appropriate the money to make it happen and a bipartisan group was urging the president to help.
“I’m 100% for that, but we need to do more than that,” Biden told them, believing that supply chains needed to be strengthened as well.
The issue stayed largely in the background as the president pushed a $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package through Congress in March 2021, then turned his attention to bipartisan infrastructure talks and an expansive domestic agenda that the White House called “Build Back Better.”
But the risks from computer chip shortages became clearer in the spring and summer of 2021 as inflation kept rising. A Commerce Department survey from September 2021 showed that manufacturers were down on average to just a five-day supply of chips, compared with 40 days before the pandemic.
On June 8, 2021, the Senate passed its version of the semiconductor bill and the House followed suit eight months later. But there were key differences that would have to be reconciled by a joint conference committee.
Hoping to keep up the pressure this year, Biden used his State of the Union address in March to highlight an announcement by Intel to invest $20 billion for what could be eight semiconductor plants outside Columbus, Ohio — a commitment that was contingent on final passage of the bill. Biden called Intel’s planned 1,000-acre (400 hectare) site a “field of dreams” on which “America’s future will be built.”
Deese and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo intensified their outreach after the speech. Internal White House records show 85 meetings and events involving companies and stakeholders since the start of this year, with a focus on the end-users of chips and equipment manufacturers and dealers. Starting in March, senior aides — including White House chief of staff Ron Klain, legislative affairs director Louisa Terrell, Deese, Raimondo and, occasionally, national security adviser Jake Sullivan — began their Thursday morning strategy meetings on the initiative.
Biden’s team also enlisted help from Trump administration veterans. Among them were Robert Lighthizer, U.S. trade representative under Trump, and former national security advisers H.R. McMaster and Robert O’Brien.
The commerce secretary decided to cold call Mike Pompeo, Trump’s former secretary of state, who had been openly critical of Biden in a February speech, vowing “we’re making sure he doesn’t own a single branch of government.”
“I’m always happy to help a fellow Italian,” Raimondo recalled Pompeo saying after she asked for his assistance. Representatives for Pompeo did not respond to requests about this exchange.
By Raimondo’s count, she had 250 meetings with businesses and outside groups and roughly 300 meetings or calls with lawmakers on the bill over 18 months.
Meanwhile, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine had worsened inflationary pressures around the world as energy and food costs shot up, a reminder of the havoc that would occur if access to semiconductors was further disrupted.
Biden felt the pressure to have more domestic production as he toured in May the world’s largest semiconductor facility —a Samsung campus in South Korea with buildings decorated in the geometric colors of the Dutch painter Piet Mondrian and nearly as tall as the U.S. Capitol dome, their interiors clean and futuristic.
“We’ve got to do this in America,” Biden told Raimondo. “We’ve got to build this in America.”
But then Intel announced in late June that it would postpone the groundbreaking for its Ohio plant because the bill had not passed. Then McConnell decided to halt negotiations with a tweet on the last day of June. Several days later, France announced a new semiconductor plant made possible by the European Union’s own $43.8 billion investment in chip production.
Raimondo felt a pit in her stomach after learning of McConnell’s tweet but kept working the phones that weekend with Republicans.
“There has to be a way,” she said. “Should we make the bill smaller? Would he go for just chips? You know, just constant engagement.”
The Senate ultimately passed the bill when it appeared the separate Democratic agenda package was going nowhere. But after Manchin revived it with his Schumer deal last week, House Republicans mounted a last minute push to stop the chips bill. White House officials kept calling lawmakers and it passed as a bipartisan win.
“I feel great about America today,” Raimondo said after the vote. “It takes a little bit longer than it should, a lot more drama than you would like, but it happens.”
Some Republicans were bitter. Texas Sen. Cornyn had warned of a recession if the U.S. lost access to advanced computer chips and had been a driving force behind the bill, yet he felt that Manchin had undermined the ability to negotiate in good faith.
“That trust was eviscerated,” he said in a floor speech.
Biden got handed a note that the House had passed the bill while he was in a meeting with CEOs. He announced the news to applause and then, with plenty of additional work to do on the economy, moved the conversation on.
“Sorry for the interruption,” he said.

VATICAN CITY — The only reasonable way to address the suffering of Ukrainians is to stop fighting and negotiate, Pope Francis said.
Even during his busy six-day journey to Canada, “I did not cease praying for the suffering and battered Ukrainian people, asking God to free them from the scourge of war,” the pope said after praying the Angelus with visitors in St. Peter’s Square July 31.
“If one looked at what is happening objectively, considering the harm that war brings every day to those people, and even to the entire world, the only reasonable thing to do would be to stop and negotiate,” the pope said.
“May wisdom inspire concrete steps toward peace,” he said.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that Ukraine will negotiate with Russia when its nation’s forces have succeeded in fighting the Russian army back to where it was positioned Feb. 24, the day Russian President Vladimir Putin launched an invasion of Ukraine.
Putin has said the possibility of negotiations would become more remote the longer the conflict continued.
Russia has claimed the conflict is a proxy war being waged against Russia by “the West.” | https://therecordnewspaper.org/stop-the-war-in-ukraine-and-negotiate-pope-says/ | 2022-08-01T16:43:28Z | https://therecordnewspaper.org/stop-the-war-in-ukraine-and-negotiate-pope-says/ | false | 6 |
To enhance delivery of care, Enroute streamlines the process of transporting patients from one place to another within the hospital in the least amount of time.
TAMPA, Fla., Aug. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Using artificial intelligence, Tampa General Hospital (TGH) is streamlining patient navigation within the hospital by improving the efficiency of its patient transport department. Collaborating with an American company called Enroute, Tampa General is speeding up the processes of admitting, moving and discharging patients, and enhancing the health care experience while improving efficiency.
One of the challenges of any hospital is operational flow, where hundreds of people must be in the right place at the right time. Even a process as direct as moving a patient from Point A to Point B ─ from a room bed to an operating table, for instance ─ can make a difference in improving quality of care.
Previously, patient transport was manually directed and assigned by a dispatcher who scheduled all of the runs throughout the hospital. For example, if the patient needed to be transported from their hospital room to surgery, the dispatcher assigned the transporter via a message alert on a hospital-issued secure device.
"With Enroute, we can see the transporters' availability, location, and if they have a wheelchair or stretcher with them in real time," said Donna Tope, senior director of support services at the academic medical center. "The system can then automatically assign the closest transporter with the right equipment to transport that patient. It's critical to our world-class care that the patient transport department be as efficient as possible in moving patients to the services they need to recover.''
Using existing hospital data, Enroute's SaaS-based solution can perform multiple assignments at the same time and help team members move patients as efficiently as possible. All information is communicated through Tampa General's secure electronic medical record to a dedicated Tampa General device carried by the transporter. Saas (Software as a Service) is an innovative way of delivering applications over the internet as a service, instead of installing and maintaining software.
"At Enroute, we're making intra-hospital transportation as easy and as seamless as using your phone to hail and track your ride," said Mike Kosnik, co-founder and CEO of Enroute. "Transportation and support services are the backbone of any top hospital and health system, and it's our mission as we grow to give staff members in these departments the advanced tools necessary to thrive in their roles and ultimately provide patients with the highest levels of care."
Tampa General, including the dispatchers, collaborated with Enroute to develop and refine an AI platform that meets the needs of the 1,041-bed hospital and others like it. As an added benefit, the platform helps collect, organize and report information, which enhances response times. The automated system also provides data to measure employee efficiency and productivity. With this patient flow technology tool, Tampa General can achieve a number of objectives:
- Avoid conflicts when scheduling patient trips
- Coordinate multiple trips to minimize patient transports
- Speed up discharge notification
- Decrease waiting time and improve patient satisfaction
- Increase bed utilization
- More effectively move equipment, materials, linens, specimens and other items
The system already is proving its worth. Although the platform is still in the initial pilot period, some Tampa General departments saw patient transportation times decrease as much as 35% on average when compared to the previous two months. "Enroute allows us to better meet growing patient volumes and increase service capacity by improving our ability to move patients through the hospital,'' Tope added.
The engagement is part of TGH Innoventures, the hospital's innovation center and venture capital fund, which is dedicated to fostering innovation at Tampa General by partnering with and investing in early-stage startups. "Through our Co-Lab program, Tampa General collaborates and codevelops with early-stage health care companies to solve problems at Tampa General that have broader applicability to other systems in the industry. As part of the program, Enroute worked closely with our transport and innovation teams to refine the AI platform's design to elevate the transport process, while maintaining standards of excellence in patient care," said Rachel Feinman, vice president of innovation at Tampa General and managing director of TGH Innoventures. "Supporting this type of significant innovation is exactly why TGH Innoventures was created," Feinman said.
While Enroute found early success after deploying at a top Israeli hospital early in the pandemic, Tampa General is Enroute's flagship customer in the U.S. The academic medical center collaborated with Enroute to integrate with its Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and refine their solution for the U.S. market. The successful integration and deployment have helped to demonstrate both Enroute's appeal to the American Hospital Industry and its ability to make an impact.
Officially launched in the first quarter of 2021, TGH Innoventures provides a coordinated mechanism for Tampa General Hospital to develop innovative solutions to improve quality and access to care. It also provides Tampa General with a platform to invest resources and funds into emerging companies and the venture capital funds investing in health care-focused companies.
Tampa General Hospital, a 1,041-bed, not-for-profit, academic medical center, is one of the largest hospitals in America and delivers world-class care as the region's only center for Level l trauma and comprehensive burn care. Tampa General Hospital is the highest-ranked hospital in the market in U.S. News & World Report's 2022-23 Best Hospitals, and is tied as the third highest-ranked hospital in Florida, with seven specialties ranking among the best programs in the United States.

Deshaun Watson and the Cleveland Browns can finally plan their 2022 campaign. The new Browns quarterback will be spending six games watching on from the sidelines this season. It will certainly impact their chances of emerging from one of the toughest divisions in football. But is it a season-defining setback, or can Cleveland outcome this and make a return to the playoffs?
As it stands, Jacoby Brissett will be handed the responsibility of marshaling the Browns offense. He brings a wealth of experience to the role. Brissett has amassed 37 NFL starts during his six-years in the league. He has played for the New England Paroits, Indianapolis Colts and the Miami Dolphins.
He spent two full seasons as a starter in Indianapolis. In his career, he has put together an underwhelming 14-23 career record, throwing 36 touchdowns to just 17 interceptions.
Brissett is a player who is accurate in short passing situations, and doesn't turn the ball over that often. When he plays within his limitations, he is a servicable quarterback and a solid game manager who can win matchups in the NFL.
Luckily for the Browns, their run-heavy offense, supported by a stellar defense, means that Brissett can add to his personal win column. Cleveland have enough talent on both sides of the ball to beat teams without the need for elite quarterback play.
The six games that could define the Cleveland Browns' season
The schedule has been kind to the Browns, and their start to the season is unlikely to cause them many sleepless nights. Week 1 will be a must-see on TV as they will be quickly reunited with their former quarterback Baker Mayfield. Cleveland will travel to Charlotte to face the Carolina Panthers.
A couple of home games against the New York Jets and the Pittsburgh Steelers follow. Cleveland will enter both of those match-ups as close favorites. The Jets should improve this season after an excellent draft and with the expectation that Zach Wilson will take a step forward. Meanwhile, the Steelers could be in for a difficult year, but it's too early to say either way.
A Week 4 trip to the Atlanta Falcons should be a comfortable win before the real tests come. Following the Falcons, they have games against the Los Angeles Chargers and New England Patriots. Their kind schedule means that Cleveland will have home-field advantage in both match-ups.
If Cleveland could have handpicked their start to the season, it probably wouldn't look dissimilar to this. They will be confident of coming out of the Jacoby Brissett era with at least a 4-2 record at worst.
Watson's return sees a dramatic shift in the standard of opposition. His first six starts are against the Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Houston Texans.
That run of games for any quarterback is difficult enough, but especially for one that wouldn't have played for nearly two years by that point. Brissett's schedule may not be difficult, but it will be vital. If Cleveland fail to emerge with a winning record, they may very well leave themselves with too much to do.

Ferrari, the team that has competed in Formula 1 longer than any other, is still apparently in the midst of a learning curve. This last weekend at the Hungarian Grand Prix, the team opted for a tire strategy so poor that it wasn’t recommended by tire supplier Pirelli in any capacity. Because Ferrari, of course, knows better.
Here’s how things went down. Ferrari drivers Carlos Sainz Jr. and Charles Leclerc qualified in second and third positions, and they both started the race on fresh medium tires. By lap 14 of 70, teams started to think about pit stops. Sainz first pitted on lap 18, followed by Leclerc on lap 22. Things seemed to be promising until... Ferrari pitted one more time, sticking its drivers onto hard tires.
Each week before a Grand Prix, Pirelli releases information about potential tire strategy. There will generally be a recommended strategy followed by some alternative strategies, all of which comply with F1 regulations and all of which take into account years of data. For this race, Pirelli recommended the following strategies:
- The Quickest (Two-Stopper): Softs until laps 16 to 21, mediums until lap 42 or 47, then mediums to the end
- As Quick As (One-Stopper): Mediums until lap 26 to 34, then hards until the end
- Very Close (One-Stopper): Softs until lap 21 to 28, then hards to the end
- Alternative (Two-Stopper): Mediums until lap 20 to 25, hards until lap 48 to 55, then softs until the end
As you can tell, Ferrari’s chosen strategy — medium-medium-hard — is not among those options.
That’s because it is, frankly, a poor strategy. While the Hungarian Grand Prix can be a hot race, track temperatures were comparatively cool this weekend, and the presence of a few rain drizzles also complicated things. In these cooler conditions, you want a softer tire, since it can last longer than it would in a hot climate thanks to its ability to warm up faster than a medium or hard compound. Those latter two compounds can last longer, but they will take longer to break in, making it difficult to gain track position or defend against other drivers on older, warmer, or softer tires, something that became incredibly apparent in Leclerc’s latter half of the race.
It was a definite head-scratcher on Ferrari’s part. There is rarely ever a race where you’d want a medium-medium-hard strategy, but you certainly don’t want it during a cooler, damp race. It’s yet another one of those strategy calls from Ferrari that makes you wonder why, exactly, this team is so keen on snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. | https://jalopnik.com/ferraris-bad-tire-strategy-at-the-hungarian-grand-prix-1849355253 | 2022-08-01T16:51:29Z | https://jalopnik.com/ferraris-bad-tire-strategy-at-the-hungarian-grand-prix-1849355253 | true | 1 |
For every pack of Huggies® Diapers purchased at a Walgreens store or online at Walgreens.com this August, Huggies® will donate a day's worth of diapers to the National Diaper Bank Network, up to 1 million diapers.
NEENAH, Wis., Aug. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- This August, for the sixth consecutive year, Kimberly-Clark's North American Huggies® Brand and Walgreens are coming together to raise awareness of diaper need in the United States, supporting those struggling with providing diapers for their children. One in three1 families in the U.S. experience diaper need and are unable to provide enough diapers to help keep their child's skin clean, dry and healthy.
For the entire month of August, Huggies® and Walgreens are encouraging people across the country to help support this important cause. For every pack of Huggies® Diapers purchased at a Walgreens store or online at Walgreens.com this August, Huggies® will donate a day's worth2 of diapers to the National Diaper Bank Network – up to one million diapers. Since 2011, Huggies® and the National Diaper Bank Network have helped provide more than 300 million diapers to those in need.
"When a baby doesn't have access to clean diapers, they're exposed to potential health risks, which is the driving force behind this important collaboration with Walgreens and The National Diaper Bank Network," said Robert Raines, Vice President of Marketing for Huggies® North America. "Many people don't realize how prevalent diaper need is in our country, and through this partnership, we will educate and encourage people to join us in supporting families to help babies and children thrive."
"In our pursuit of more joyful lives through better health, Walgreens is proud to team up with Huggies for the sixth consecutive year," said John Gremer, director of community affairs at Walgreens. "Driving awareness to diaper need in support of helping families across the local communities we serve is important."
Arin Wright – professional Chicago soccer player and mother of a two-year-old son – is partnering with Huggies® to help spread the word about the donation program with Walgreens and encourage her fans to participate in the giving. Wright isn't just a defender on the field – she has been a strong advocate for new parents facing challenges, such as maternity leave, balancing a career with parenthood, fertility services and daycare.
"There are so many things to think about when raising a child, and it pains me to know that so many families have to worry about not knowing if they'll have enough clean diapers today," said Wright. "I'll be buying my Huggies® at Walgreens this month to help generate donations to families in need, and I'll be asking my friends, teammates and family to do the same. I hope people across the country will join us on this important mission to help make sure more parents have access to clean diapers."

Healthy Mother, Child Form Basis Of Happy Family: Prof Al-freed
Faizan Hashmi Published August 01, 2022 | 07:51 PM
Post-graduate Medical Institute (PGMI) Principal Prof Dr Sardar Muhammad Al-freed Zafar said on Monday that a healthy mother and child were guarantors of real happiness of any family and a better future of the country
LAHORE, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 1st Aug, 2022 ) :Post-graduate Medical Institute (PGMI) Principal Prof Dr Sardar Muhammad Al-freed Zafar said on Monday that a healthy mother and child were guarantors of real happiness of any family and a better future of the country.
He expressed these views while speaking at the closing ceremony of a three-day training course on baby-friendly initiatives, held here at Lahore General Hospital (LGH), with the collaboration of UNICEF.
Training was provided to 46 master trainers at the course.
UNICEF executives and medical experts -- Prof Faheem Afzal, Dr Nudrat Rashid -- and others delivered lectures on the health of infants, their protection from diseases and the importance of mother's milk for infants while a question answer session was also held.
Prof Al-freed Zafar said that a strong nation could only be developed by ensuring healthy babies, adding that no food in the world like formula pack (canned milk) could replace breastfeeding; so only mother's milk should be fed to infants.
He said that women visiting the department of Pediatrics & Gynecology in hospitals should be given proper training on newborn baby care, breastfeeding and other basic issues, adding that there was a need to create a breastfeeding special corner in offices so that mothers could facilitated about their babies to feed them comfortably in a safe environment.
Talking to the media, Prof Al-freed said babies should be breastfed for two years, which is the best tonic, complete food and promotes disease-fighting immunity and protects bones from weakness. Principal PGMI emphasised the participants in the course and said that spreading awareness was also an ongoing charity because if someone saves one life, it saves the entire humanity. Shields and certificates were also distributed among the participants at the end of the event in LGH.

President Rejects 30 Representations; Directs FBR To Undo Unjust Taxation On Lecturers' Salaries
Fahad Shabbir (@FahadShabbir) Published August 01, 2022 | 07:07 PM
President Dr Arif Alvi on Monday rejected 30 identical representations filed by the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) against the Federal Tax Ombudsman's decision directing the FBR to stop charging excessive tax deductions from wages of the hired lecturers at the withholding stage
ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 1st Aug, 2022 ) :President Dr Arif Alvi on Monday rejected 30 identical representations filed by the Federal board of Revenue (FBR) against the Federal Tax Ombudsman's decision directing the FBR to stop charging excessive tax deductions from wages of the hired lecturers at the withholding stage.
While upholding the FTO's decision, the president observed that the withholding income tax at the rate of 20% over the monthly salary of Rs 36,000 of lecturers, provisionally hired on semester-to-semester basis, was unlawful and an act of maladministration on the part of FBR.
He directed the FBR to ensure that hired lecturers of Post Graduate College for Women, Bannu or other such educational institutions were not burdened with excessive tax deductions at the withholding stage.
He further directed the Regional Tax Officer Peshawar to reprocess the instant cases under relevant legal provisions and issue necessary clarifications and instructions to all withholding agents to implement his (president's) decision and report compliance within 45 days.
President Alvi rejected the FBR's arguments that the payments made to hired lecturers fell under the definition of "Services", which attracted withholding tax at the rate of 20%.
He observed that under Section 12 read with sections 149 and 153(1)(b) of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001, the wages received by hired employees under any of the forms of employment i.e., regular, ad-hoc, temporary, daily wages, contingency etc. would be treated as "Salary" and would liable to taxation as "Salary Income".
He said the hired lecturers were under Master-Servant Relationship with hiring institutions as in the cases of regular, ad-hoc, temporary, hired, daily wages, contingency staff. Moreover, the law saw their wages at par with salary pay and, therefore, their wages could not be excluded from the ambit of salary taxation.
The president in his decision held that in view of the circumstances and facts of the cases, the FTO's orders were based on valid justifications and sound legal footings, therefore, the FBR's representations were liable to be rejected.

BALTIMORE (AP) — An 18-year-old man who worked cleaning windshields for cash was fatally shot in West Baltimore over the weekend, police said.
Officers called to Gwynns Falls Parkway around 11 a.m. Saturday found the man with gunshot wounds and he later died at a hospital, police said.
The shooting comes weeks after a man with a baseball bat was fatally shot during a dispute with so-called squeegee workers at a downtown intersection. However, police spokeswoman Lindsey Eldridge said there’s no sign that Saturday’s shooting was related to the man cleaning windshields or any interaction with a motorist, The Baltimore Sun reported. | https://www.ncadvertiser.com/news/article/Police-Squeegee-worker-killed-no-motorist-17342903.php | 2022-08-01T17:03:35Z | https://www.ncadvertiser.com/news/article/Police-Squeegee-worker-killed-no-motorist-17342903.php | false | null |

The Smith Society reinvents the 1920s American men’s bath
Founder and designer Adam Porter-Smith plays with masculine and feminine design using sexy silhouettes and classic colors
Original swimsuit sketches will be released in a series of collectible NFTs available at thesmithsociety.cent.co
NEW YORK, Aug. 01, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Smith Society, a lifestyle brand reimagining its items for social settings and founded by Adam Porter-Smith, today announced the launch of its flagship swimwear line . Inspired by men’s one-piece swimsuits of the 1920s and reinvented for the 2020s, the new line plays with masculine and feminine design through sexy silhouettes and classic colors.
The entire line will be featured at a trunk show at Bellport General in Bellport NY from 3-7 p.m. on August 7, 2022. The swimwear is also available at thesmithsociety.com. Journalists interested in attending or meeting privately for an interview with Adam Porter-Smith can contact [email protected]
Alongside the launch, the Smith Society is releasing a series of collectible NFTs available at thesmithsociety.cent.co. The NFTs feature early sketches and design ideas for the collection. On the day of the trunk show, a special NFT will be broadcast via a QR code available exclusively in real life at the event. The NFT isn’t just collectible, it also unlocks access to other vault shows, previews, an upcoming launch party and more.
Gender-specific doors in the clothing world have been knocked down over the past four or five years, and a lot of progress has been made with fashion degendering, Porter-Smith said. My design aesthetic grew bolder as I watched gay culture and beyond embrace silhouettes and new ideas around what we wear and the tone it sets in a new and more open world of fashion.
The new line includes four inspired pieces:
- The Smith Society Classic Belted Bather This classic swim brief features an original logo buckle and is available in black, white and navy.
- The Smith Society Y Back Tank Reimagined features super soft fabric and can be worn with the Belted Bather for a classic 20s look. Available in black, white and navy.
- The Smith Society Racerback Cabana Stripe Thong This sexy second skin is available in black and white, pink and white, and Mediterranean blue and white.
- The classic Smith Society X Back Modernized lifeguard style features a supportive belt and functional logo buckle. Available in black, white and navy blue.
I find it fascinating that until the 1940s blue was not associated with boys and pink was not associated with girls. Someone came along and made a conscious and very powerful decision to attach colors to genres. I don’t see color as a gender marker, I see it as a way to express our true selves. Wear what makes you, you. Porter-Smith continued.
RSVPs for the Trunk Show are not required. Bellport General is located at 138 S. County Rd., Bellport NY, 11713.

TORONTO - Drake on Monday said he tested positive for COVID-19 and postponed the highly anticipated Young Money Reunion concert scheduled for that night in Toronto.
The Toronto rapper posted the announcement on his Instagram account, later shared by concert promoter Live Nation. The show was to end the annual three-day OVO Fest music festival hosted by the Canadian musician. Drake said the show will be rescheduled to the earliest possible date.
"I am truly devastated to say that I tested positive for COVID and the Young Money Reunion show scheduled for tonight is being rescheduled to the SOONEST date possible," he said.
"I will keep the city posted and share the new date whenever we have it locked. Until then I hope everyone stays safe and healthy and I love you all, I'm so sorry for letting you down on our weekend together and the moment I test negative I will give you everything I got on stage (except COVID)."
The show at Budweiser Stage, featuring Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj, was to be a reunion of acts on the Young Money record label, following another concert at the same site Friday featuring Chris Brown and Lil Baby.
Dubbed "October World Weekend: Road to OVO Fest Tour," the festival kicked off in Toronto Thursday with an All Canadian North Stars concert, featuring appearances by a dozen Canadian hip-hop and rap artists including Choclair, Jully Black, Kardinal Offishall, Keshia Chanté and Maestro Fresh Wes.
Drake described them as artists who "paved the way" for those who came after. The show was held at History, a venue that opened with the support of Drake last November. The concert included a couple of surprise guests: Nelly Furtado and hip hop pioneer Michie Mee.
The 2022 edition of OVO Fest was the first since 2019, with the last two years cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Drake has said he plans to take his OVO Fest on the road for its 10th anniversary, in 2023, with dates "around the world."

CLEVELAND – Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson was suspended without pay for six games Monday for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy following accusations of sexual misconduct made against him by two dozen women in Texas, two people familiar with the decision said.
The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the decision had not been publicly released. Watson, who played for four seasons with Houston before being traded to Cleveland in March, recently settled 23 of 24 lawsuits filed by women alleging sexual harassment and assault during massage therapy appointments in 2020 and 2021.
The NFL has three days to appeal the decision by disciplinary officer Sue L. Robinson. The NFL Players’ Association already stated it would abide by her ruling. If either side appeals, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell or someone he designates will make the decision, per terms of the collective bargaining agreement. The union then could try to challenge that ruling in federal court.
The league had pushed for an indefinite suspension of at least one year and at least a $5 million fine for the 26-year-old Watson during a three-day hearing before Robinson in June.
Watson can continue to practice and play in exhibition games before his suspension begins the first week of the regular season. He can return to practice in Week 4 and would be eligible to play on Oct. 23 when the Browns play at Baltimore.
Watson, who signed a fully guaranteed $230 million, five-year contract, will lose only $345,000 if the suspension is unchanged because his base salary this season is $1.035 million. His $45 million signing bonus is not affected by the suspension.
After learning the ruling was imminent, the NFLPA issued a joint statement with Watson on Sunday night, saying they will not appeal Robinson’s ruling and urged the league to follow suit.
“Every player, owner, business partner and stakeholder deserves to know that our process is legitimate and will not be tarnished based on the whims of the League office” the union said in a statement.
As he awaited the ruling, Watson has been in training camp with the Browns. He has continued to take most of the reps with the first-team offense, which will be turned over to backup Jacoby Brissett while he’s sidelined.
While the NFL pushed for a severe penalty, the union had argued Watson shouldn’t be punished at all because he was not convicted of any crime.
Two grand juries in Texas declined to indict Watson on criminal complaints brought by 10 of the women.
This was the first case for Robinson, a former U.S. district judge who was jointly appointed by the NFL and the union to handle player misconduct — a role previously held by Goodell.
A three-time Pro Bowl pick with the Texans, Watson has seen his playing career stalled by the allegations that he acted inappropriately with the women during massage therapy sessions he scheduled via social media. He sat out the 2021 season after demanding a trade before the allegations came out.
In their lawsuits, the women accused Watson of exposing himself, touching them with his penis or kissing them against their will. One woman alleged Watson forced her to perform oral sex.
Watson has denied all wrongdoing, insisting any sexual activity with three of the women was consensual. He publicly insisted his goal was to clear his name before agreeing to confidential financial settlements with 20 of the women on June 21.
“This case started because one woman had the fortitude to step forward and make her voice heard,” said attorney Tony Buzbee, who represents the women in the civil lawsuits. “Her courage inspired many others with the same experience. None of this saga would have occurred without that one brave voice. One person can make a difference.
“I have been asked repeatedly about my thoughts in regard to the NFL’s proceeding with Deshaun Watson. Although some of my clients do have strong feelings in that regard, I have nothing meaningful to say about that process. I’ve said in the beginning that the civil process and the NFL’s disciplinary process are very different. My role was to advance the cause of my clients, in civil court — nothing more. I’ve done that. I am extremely proud of these women and our legal team’s efforts. The settlements are confidential. I won’t comment further on them.”
Watson’s high-profile case has renewed scrutiny of the league’s handling of player misbehavior, along with its support for women, and left the Browns wondering if they’ll ever find a franchise quarterback.
Since the trade, Watson has been on public display, with fans questioning whether the league had the authority to ban him from playing despite no criminal charges.
The league has been sensitive about its image and handing out the appropriate discipline for Watson after being criticized for its handling of previous cases of domestic violence or sexual misconduct against women involving Baltimore running back Ray Rice, Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and Cleveland running back Kareem Hunt among others.
For their part, the Browns were widely condemned for signing Watson. The team has been desperate to find a long-term answer at quarterback — they’ve had a league-high 32 starters since 1999 — and many questioned why the team would take on a player with so much baggage.
During his introductory news conference after he was traded to Cleveland, Watson was adamant about his innocence.
“I have never assaulted, disrespected or harassed any woman in my life,” he said at the dais, where he was joined by Browns general manager Andrew Berry and coach Kevin Stefanski. “I was raised differently. That is not my DNA. That is not my culture. That is not me as a person.”
He repeated those comments three months later during the Browns’ minicamp, insisting his only goal was to clear his name. However, a week later he settled 20 of the civil lawsuits. Any remaining lawsuits could still go to trial, but not until 2023 after both sides agreed to wait until after the upcoming season.
On July 15, 30 women settled lawsuits against the Texans after claiming the team ignored and enabled Watson as he harassed and assaulted them during the therapy sessions. Terms of the settlements were kept confidential.
Despite Watson’s legal entanglement, the Browns — along with several other teams — pursued Watson after the first grand jury declined to indict him.
Initially, Watson turned down the Browns. But Cleveland owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam enticed him with the richest fully guaranteed contract in league history, to that point.
Watson had other offers but chose the Browns and waived his no-trade clause to join a team coming off a disappointing 8-9 season. Cleveland completed the deal on March 18 by agreeing to send Houston three first-round draft picks and six selections overall for Watson.
The Haslams said any concerns they had about his character or behavior were alleviated when they flew to Houston along with Berry and Stefanski and spent time talking to Watson.
An All-American at Clemson, Watson was drafted by the Texans with the No. 12 pick in 2017. He started six games as a rookie before passing for 4,165 yards and 26 touchdowns in his second year.
Watson has developed into one of the league’s elite QBs, throwing for 4,823 yards and 33 TDs in 2020 despite playing on a Texans team that went just 4-12. | https://www.ketk.com/news/texas/browns-quarterback-deshaun-watson-suspended-for-6-games-sources-say/ | 2022-08-01T17:19:18Z | https://www.ketk.com/news/texas/browns-quarterback-deshaun-watson-suspended-for-6-games-sources-say/ | true | 50 |

Father of Irish Love Island finalist Dami says his son ‘would make a great dad’
THE father of Irish Love Island finalist Dami Hope has told the Sunday World that he believes his son will himself make a great dad one day.
Dami’s nurturing side came out this week when he and his screen partner Indiyah Polack won the baby task competition on the hit show.
As the 26-year-old Wexford hunk gears up for tomorrow’s final, his father Babajide reveals his son would be a perfect dad as he used to thrive when he was younger looking after his kid siblings.
“He’s used to it, because when he was growing up in the house he used to babysit and change nappies with the younger ones,” he says.
“When the youngest, Amanda, was very small and he was about 10-years old – he used to always love carrying her around and being protective of her.
“He always helps and protects the younger ones, in everything they do.”
Babajide, who is originally from Nigeria and lives in New Ross, Co. Wexford, reveals he and most of his family are in Dubai this weekend and will watch the final from the Arab state.
“We are having a family holiday, we do this every year in August to celebrate our anniversary,” he explains. “The last two girls have come with us. We go to different places every year, bar the last couple because of the pandemic.”
As well as father Babajide, a council worker, Dami’s family includes mother Bukola, a carer, sister Abosede (29), who is a chef, sister and team leader Femi (24), college engineering student David (21), college law student Cynthia (19) and Junior Cert student Amanda (16).
Babajide also says Dami will have family support at the final as sister Femi and first cousin Alicia have flown to Mallorca to cheer him on and greet him when he leaves the villa.
“Everyone is excited about it and we can’t wait to see it,” beams Babajide.
“He has done us proud and everyone in Wexford is talking about it,” he says. “Ireland always supports him and we’re delighted about that.”
He is also full of praise for Indiyah and says he can’t wait to meet her in person.
“She’s a lovely girl and very humble, from what we’re seeing on national TV,” he says. “We can’t wait to meet them both.”
Dami’s sister Cynthia previously told us how much she thinks Indiyah is suited to her brother.
“She is absolutely beautiful. I just thought they were perfect together. Their personality was the same. I liked her as person. She is very open and honest as well, ”she raved.
Dami was born in Nigeria as Adedamola Adegbefan and moved with his family to Ireland at the age of five in 2021, where he was raised in New Ross.
He moved to Dublin around 2016 when he got a job as a microbiologist, after studying Bioscience with Biopharmaceuticals in Carlow. He lives in Adamstown in the capital.
Besides Dami and Indiyah, the others finalist couples left on the eighth series of Love Island are Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti, Gemma Owen and Luca Bish, Paige Thorne and Adam Collard, and Tasha Ghouri and Andrew Le Page.
There are normally four couples in the final with all other remaining couples apart from Dami and Indiyah at risk of being dumped tonight.
Dami and Indiyah, affectionately referred to as Damiyah, secured their place in Monday’s finale after they were not chosen when each couple was asked to vote for who they felt was the least compatible couple.
The finale will take place on Monday night with Laura Whitmore presenting live from the villa, while the winning couple will secure a £50k cash prize.
Meanwhile, Anne Doyle and James Kavanagh are also backing Dami to win the show.
The wacky duo – who have become unlikely entertainment industry friends – have been doing voiceover promo ads for Now TV before and after segments of Love Island are shown on the telly.
Anne has extra reason to cheer on Dami as like the finalist she, too, is from Co. Wexford.
But the former RTÉ newsreader laughed when asked if she is a regular viewer of the dating show.
“You know what, I will leave that for you to guess,” she laughs.
She then wished Dami luck in the final, exclaiming “Up the yellowbellies!.”
Her TikTok pal James, who has 160,000 Instagram followers, admits he’s a keen viewer and predicts microbiologist Dami will “earn a lot of money” when he leaves the island.

“I love Dami and I know he has gotten in trouble with people over the past while, but I think he’s hilarious and funny, so he’s a bit of a favourite with me,” he said.
“As for the girls, I like Ekin-Su a lot. Her and Dami are my two favourite and I think they have potential to have good careers after this, because they are very entertaining and they seem to be very loved, so they are my two favourites.”
He believes Dami and Indiyah will remain a couple long after the show. “Their love has shot up and I think there is potential for them to carry the love over into real life, because you can never tell if they’re just doing it for the cameras of whatever, but I actually do see a spark there.”

YORK COUNTY, Pa. (WHTM) — A mother and two of her daughters were among four people killed in a tractor crash in Pennsylvania.
According to Pennsylvania State Police, an adult woman and 11 children were riding in an open flatbed trailer that was being pulled by a tractor in Lower Chanceford Township.
The driver lost control and left the roadway, causing the trailer to flip and roll down an embankment, throwing all of the passengers out of the trailer.
According to the York County coroner, 36-year-old Katie Ann Stoltzfus, 14-year-old Mary Stoltzfus , and 7-year-old Naomi Stoltzfus all died in the accident. Stoltzfus was the mother of the two girls, who were all residents of Brogue, York County.
Caleb Fisher, a 9-year-old boy, also died in the crash.
The coroner stated all four victims died of multiple blunt force traumatic injuries.
At least other three children were flown from the scene and others were transported by ambulance to area hospitals in various medical conditions. The adult male driver was transported from the scene in serious condition.
Officials say they are not sure how the tractor lost control when it was en route to a recreational area on Friday.
The PSP Troop J Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Specialist Unit, Forensic Services Unit, and Criminal Investigation Unit responded to the scene to assist in the investigation. The York County Coroner also responded to the scene.
The accident at the Otter Creek Recreation Area closed Route 425 (Furnace Road) in both directions and there were initial requests for several medical helicopters, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.
The accident was originally reported by officials as a horse and buggy crash but was later corrected by law enforcement. | https://www.wbtw.com/news/national/mother-2-daughters-among-4-killed-in-tractor-crash/ | 2022-08-01T17:50:00Z | https://www.wbtw.com/news/national/mother-2-daughters-among-4-killed-in-tractor-crash/ | false | 11 |

Ukraine seeks to retake the south, tying down Russian forces
The Associated Press
Updated 7:16AM
Even as Moscow's war machine crawls across Ukraine's east, trying to achieve the Kremlin's goal of securing full control over the country's industrial heartland, Ukrainian forces are scaling up attacks to reclaim territory in the Russian-occupied south.
The Ukrainians have used American-supplied rocket launchers to strike bridges and military infrastructure in the south, forcing Russia to divert its forces from the Donbas in the east to counter the new threat.
With the war in Ukraine now in its sixth month, the coming weeks may prove decisive.
While the bulk of Russian and Ukrainian military assets are con?entrated in the Donbas, the industrial region of mines and factories, both sides hope to make gains elsewhere.
Ukraine has vowed to drive the Russians from the territory they have seized since the start of the invasion, including the southern region of Kherson and part of the Zaporizhzhia region, while Moscow has pledged to hold on to the occupied areas and take more ground around the country.
The Donbas consists of Luhansk province, now fully controlled by Russia, and Donetsk province, about half of which is in Moscow's hands.
Ukrainian military analyst Oleh Zhdanov noted that by stepping up the attacks in the south, Kyiv has forced Russia to spread its forces.
"The Russian military command has been put before a dilemma: to try to press the offensive in the Donetsk region or build up defenses in the south," Zhdanov said. "It's going to be difficult for them to perform both tasks simultaneously for a long time."
He noted that rather than trying to mount a massive, all-out counteroffensive, the Ukrainians have sought to undermine the Russian military in the south with a series of strikes on its munitions and fuel depots and other key sites.
"It doesn't have to be a head-on attack," Zhdanov noted.
Moscow-backed local officials in Ukraine's east and south have talked about holding votes on joining Russia as early as September. Those plans hinge on Russia's ability to win full control of those areas by then.
"The Kremlin's chief goal is to force Kyiv to sit down for talks, secure the existing line of contact and hold referenda in the autumn," said Mykola Sunhurovsky, of the Razumkov Center, a Kyiv-based think tank.
He noted that Western weapons have boosted Ukraine's capabilities, allowing it to reach targets far behind the front lines with a high degree of precision.
Ukraine has received about a dozen American-built HIMARS multiple rocket launchers and has used them to strike Russian ammunition depots, which are essential for maintaining Moscow's edge in firepower. HIMARS systems have a range of 80 kilometers (50 miles), enabling the Ukrainians to hit the Russians from beyond the reach of most of the enemy's artillery.
"It's a serious advantage," Sunhurovsky said. "The Ukrainians have started dealing precision strikes on Russian depots, command posts, railway stations and bridges, destroying logistical chains and undermining the Russian military capability."
The Ukrainian strikes on munitions storage sites have caught the Russian army off guard, forcing it to move materiel to scattered locations farther from combat areas, lengthening supply lines, reducing the Russian edge in firepower and helping to slow Russia's offensive in the east.
"They've got to get everything out to smaller, more dispersed stockpiles," said Justin Crump, a former British tank commander who heads Sibylline, a strategic advisory firm. "These are all real irritants that slow Russia down. They've suffered the hit to the tempo of artillery fire, which was really key before."
Crump said the Russian military had underestimated the threat posed by HIMARS and had left their ammunition depots exposed in known locations. "They thought their air defense would shoot down the missiles. And it didn't really," he said.
In a series of attacks that helped boost the country's morale, the Ukrainians repeatedly used HIMARS to strike a key bridge across the Dnieper River in the Kherson region, cutting traffic across it and raising potential supply problems for Russian forces in the area.
Zhdanov, the Ukrainian military analyst, described the bridge as the key link for supplying Russian forces on the right bank of the Dnieper.
Russia still can use a second crossing on the Dnieper to ferry supplies and reinforcements to its troops in Kherson, which lies just north of the Crimean Peninsula, seized by Russia in 2014. But Ukraine's strikes have shown Russia's vulnerability and weakened its hold on the region.
"The Russians have the river at their back. That's not a great place to be defending," Crump said. "They can't get supplies easily. The morale is probably quite low at this point on that side of the river."
He said Ukraine eventually may launch a massive counterattack involving large numbers of troops and weapons.
"That's the opportunity for Ukraine, I think, to land a sort of more smashing blow on the Russians and push them back," Crump said. "I think there's more chance of that being tried here than we've seen at any other point."
Crump noted that the mere prospect of a major Ukrainian counteroffensive in the south helped Kyiv by forcing the Russians to divert some of their forces from the main battleground in the east.
"That's slowing down the Donbas offensive," Crump said. "So even the threat of an offensive is actually succeeding for Ukraine at the moment."

NFL disciplinary officer Sue L. Robinson has ordered Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson to be suspended without pay for six games, the league confirmed to NPR on Monday.
The punishment comes after 24 women accused Watson of sexual misconduct, sparking civil lawsuits and putting the star quarterback on the sidelines in 2021. Watson settled 20 of the cases against him in June.
The six-game suspension is "the most significant punishment ever imposed on an NFL player for allegations of non-violent sexual conduct," Robinson said in her decision, adding that "Mr. Watson's pattern of conduct is more egregious than any before reviewed by the NFL."
Robinson found Watson responsible for "multiple violations of the NFL Personal Conduct Policy," NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy told NPR via email.
Specifically, she said the NFL had proven that Watson engaged in: sexual assault (as the NFL's policies define it); conduct that poses a danger to another person; and conduct that undermines the integrity of the NFL.
The accusations against Watson came from some of the more than 60 massage therapists he worked with in one 15-month period, from late 2019 through the winter of 2021.
Robinson said that in making appointments with massage therapists, Watson "had a sexual purpose — not just a therapeutic purpose."
"I find the evidence sufficient to demonstrate that Mr. Watson knew, or should have known, that any contact between his penis and these therapists was unwanted," Robinson said.
Earlier this year, two grand juries in Texas declined to indict Watson on criminal charges, clearing a path for his eventual return to the playing field.
Watson has the right to appeal the decision within three days, through the NFL Players Association. The league can also file its own appeal.
The NFL says it is "reviewing Judge Robinson's imposition of a six-game suspension and will make a determination on next steps."
Watson was playing for the Houston Texans when the allegations against him arose. In March, he signed a five-year deal to become the Browns' quarterback.

Monday's slate is on the smaller side, with just nine contests to choose from. That said, that still gives us plenty of opportunities to look for value in the betting market.
Let’s break down some of my favorite MLB wagers to target on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Seattle Mariners at New York Yankees
The Pick: Under 9.0 runs (-110)
The Mariners travel to New York to start a series vs. the Yankees on Monday, which could have massive playoff implications. The Mariners are currently 55-48, putting them in the thick of a loaded Wild Card race. They currently own the second Wild Card spot (out of three), but they own slim leads over the Rays, Guardians, White Sox, Orioles and Red Sox. In other words, every game is going to be important for each AL squad down the stretch.
This matchup is expected to be higher scoring, with the total currently set at nine runs. That seems too high. The Mariners will turn to Marco Gonzales, who has been effective at limiting runs. He owns a 3.66 ERA, and while his xERA suggests some regression moving forward, that isn’t exactly a guarantee. Gonzales routinely out-pitches his peripherals, posting a better ERA than xERA every year since 2018. Part of that stems from his ability to limit hard contact, ranking in the 62nd percentile or better in average exit velocity, hard-hit rate and barrel rate.
The Yankees will turn to Domingo German, and he hasn’t pitched enough this season to draw any conclusions. His two starts have also come against the Mets and Astros, who possess two of the best offenses in baseball. Still, he managed to limit the Mets to two earned runs across 4 2/3 innings in his last outing.
Overall, I’m willing to take the under on two undervalued pitchers.
Colorado Rockies at San Diego Padres
The Pick: Rockies ML (+175)
If you’re looking to roll the dice on a large underdog, the Rockies seem like your best bet. They’re garnering plenty of sharp support vs. the Padres, racking up a staggering 94% of the moneyline dollars on just 26% of the bets. That differential will likely even out as the day progresses, but the sharps clearly have interest in the Rockies.
They will turn to Antonio Senzatela, whose numbers on the surface are not very impressive. He owns a dreadful 6.57 ERA outside of Coors Field, but that number is inflated by a .412 BABIP. He actually owns a 3.61 xFIP when pitching on the road this season, so he’s been one of the unluckiest pitchers in baseball.
The Padres will hand the ball to Mike Clevinger, who has been the opposite of Senzatela this season. His home ERA of 3.54 is solid, but his 4.84 FIP suggests he’s been significantly lucky when pitching at home.
The Padres are clearly the better team, but I’m not sure they deserve to be favored by as much as they currently are. I’ll take my chances with the Rockies in this spot.
Los Angeles Dodgers at San Francisco Giants
The Pick: Giants ML (+120)
The Giants were the biggest surprise in baseball last season, emerging from complete afterthoughts to win 107 games. Unfortunately, they’ve crashed back to reality in 2022. They are a whopping 17.5 games behind the Dodgers in the NL West, and they’re also four games out of a Wild Card spot. Recent reports suggest the Giants could emerge as sellers before Tuesday’s trade deadline.
However, they will have Logan Webb on the mound on Tuesday, and he gives the Giants a chance to win every time he takes the mound. Webb got off to a slow start this year, but he’s still posted an excellent 2.91 ERA. That includes a 2.08 ERA in June and a 2.58 ERA in July, so he’s gotten better as the year has progressed.
Facing the Dodgers is no easy task, but Webb limited them to just one earned run over six innings in his only start vs. L.A. this season. He’s talented enough to do it again, especially in a pitcher-friendly venue like Oracle Park.

Pau Gasol leads Spain over China
Spain 97, China 81: Pau Gasol had 21 points and 11 rebounds to lead Spain to victory over China Sunday in the Olympic men's basketball opener for both teams. Spain got off to a slow start and held just a two-point lead at the end of the first quarter 19-17. However, they went on a 7-0 run in the second quarter to give themselves a cushion and were never seriously challenged the rest of the game.
Spain was silver medalist at the Beijing Games four years ago and is the two-time European champion. They are expected to challenge for a gold medal here with their imposing front line of the 7-foot Gasol (Los Angeles Lakers), his 7-1 brother Marc (Memphis Grizzlies) and 6-10 Serge Ibaka (Oklahoma City Thunder) -- who finished with 17 points.
Yi Jianlian of the Washington Wizards had a double-double for China, scoring a game-high 30 points and pulling down 12 rebounds. But China had no answer to the depth of Spain, which had four players score in double digits -- Juan Carlos Navarro had scored 14 points and Jose Calderon (Toronto Raptors) added 12.
Russia 95, Britain 75: Andrei Kirilenko, heading back to the NBA, scored 35 points to help Russia spoil Britain's return to Olympic men's basketball. Kirilenko, who played last season in Russia after spending 10 seasons with the Utah Jazz, signed a two-year, $20 million contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday. Alexey Shved, also Minnesota bound, added 16 points and 13 assists for the Russians, who wore down the hosts with their physical defensive pressure. Luol Deng scored 26 for Britain, making its first appearance in the field since hosting the Olympics in 1948.
Argentina 102, Lithuania 79: Luis Scola scored 32 points, Manu Ginobili flirted with a triple-double to help Argentina get started on its quest for a third straight Olympic men's basketball medal. Carlos Delfino finished with 20 points for the Argentines.
Brazil 75, Australia 71: Leandro Barbosa scored 16 points and Brazil held on. Brazil had a one-point lead at halftime, but opened the third quarter with a 10-2 run and extend its lead to 11. The Spurs' Patty Mills finished with a game-high 20 points for Australia. -- AP | https://www.newsday.com/sports/olympics/pau-gasol-leads-spain-over-china-f53724 | 2022-08-01T18:02:20Z | https://www.newsday.com/sports/olympics/pau-gasol-leads-spain-over-china-f53724 | false | 1 |
Chris Rock has reportedly “moved on” from Will Smith’s slap at this year’s Oscars ceremony. “Chris doesn’t need to talk. This is clearly something that bothers Will more than Chris,” a source told People on Monday. “Will needs to deal with his issues. Chris is fine.”
This shady comment comes just days after Smith offered an on-camera apology to Rock, via a five-minute, 44-second video posted on the best actor winner’s official YouTube page. “My behavior was unacceptable. And I’m here whenever you’re ready to talk,” Smith tells Rock in the video. He adds that although he has already sent a message to Rock’s camp, “the message that came back is that he’s not ready to talk.”
In the video, Smith also apologizes to Rock’s mother and Rock’s brother, Tony Rock. “We had a great relationship,” Smith says about Tony. “Tony Rock was my man. And this is probably irreparable.” He ends the video by extending an olive branch to his fans. “I know it was shocking,” Smith says. “But I promise you, I am deeply devoted and committed to putting light and love and joy into the world.”
Meanwhile, Rock has relegated his comments about the incident to the standup stage. “The fact that he is making jokes about it already is a good thing,” a source told People. “That means he is assessing it. But the stress of the slap and the aftermath has not taken over his life. Quite the opposite.”
The same day of Smith’s video apology, Rock joked about the slap while performing his set at Atlanta’s Fox Theatre. “Everybody is trying to be a fucking victim,” Rock said, according to People. “If everybody claims to be a victim, then nobody will hear the real victims. Even me getting smacked by Suge Smith...I went to work the next day, I got kids.” (This appears to reference currently-incarcerated Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight.) “Anyone who says words hurt has never been punched in the face.” | https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2022/08/chris-rock-doesnt-need-to-talk-to-will-smith-about-oscars-slap | 2022-08-01T18:03:21Z | https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2022/08/chris-rock-doesnt-need-to-talk-to-will-smith-about-oscars-slap | false | 1 |
LIVE: Harris to announce $1B to states for floods, extreme heat
Video above: Helicopters rescue about 400 from Kentucky floods
The White House is making more than $1 billion available to states to address flooding and extreme heat exacerbated by climate change.
Vice President Kamala Harris is set to announce the grant programs Monday at an event in Miami with the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency and other officials. The competitive grants will help communities across the nation prepare for and respond to climate-related disasters.
"We know that the impacts of the climate crisis are here, and that we must invest in building resilience to protect our communities, infrastructure and economy,'' the White House said in a statement.
The announcement comes as the death toll from massive flooding in Kentucky continued to climb on Sunday amid a renewed threat of more heavy rains. In the West, wildfires in California and Montana exploded in size amid windy, hot conditions, encroaching on neighborhoods and forcing evacuation orders.
Multiple Western states continued heat advisories amid a prolonged drought that has dried reservoirs and threatened communities across the region.

Harris will visit the National Hurricane Center for a briefing by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and FEMA. She also will visit Florida International University, where she is expected to address extreme weather events across the country, including the flooding in Kentucky and Missouri and the wildfires in California.
President Joe Biden announced last month that the administration will spend $2.3 billion to help communities cope with soaring temperatures through programs administered by FEMA, the Department of Health and Human Services and other agencies. The move doubles spending on the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities, or BRIC, program, which supports states, local communities, tribes and territories on projects to reduce climate-related hazards and prepare for natural disasters such as floods and wildfires.
"Communities across our nation are experiencing first-hand the devastating impacts of the climate change and the related extreme weather events that follow — more energized hurricanes with deadlier storm surges, increased flooding and a wildfire season that's become a year-long threat," FEMA head Deanne Criswell said.
The funding to be announced Monday will "help to ensure that our most vulnerable communities are not left behind, with hundreds of millions of dollars ultimately going directly to the communities that need it most,'' Criswell said.
A total of $1 billion will be made available through the BRIC program, with another $160 million to be offered for flood mitigation assistance, officials said.
Video above: Wildfires in West explode in size amid hot, windy conditions
Jacksonville, Florida, was among cities that received money under the BRIC program last year. The city was awarded $23 million for flood mitigation and stormwater infrastructure. Jacksonville, the largest city in Florida, sits in a humid, subtropical region along the St. Johns River and Atlantic Ocean, making it vulnerable to flooding when stormwater basins reach capacity. The city experiences frequent flooding and is at risk for increased major storms.
The South Florida Water Management District in Miami-Dade County received $50 million for flood mitigation and pump station repairs. Real estate development along the city's fast-growing waterfront has created a high-risk flood zone for communities in the city and put pressure on existing systems, making repairs to existing structures an urgent need, officials said.
The Biden administration has launched a series of actions intended to reduce heat-related illness and protect public health, including a proposed workplace heat standard.

Just days after Killeen’s splash pad at Long Branch Park reopened, it has been closed again for more repairs.
“Staff identified two large mainline water leaks early (Monday),” according to a news release from the city. “Recreation Services is working closely with the Water Department to repair these lines.”
The splash pad reopened on Friday after being closed for a water line repair.
“The community will be made aware once the repairs and tests are complete to ensure the feature is functioning properly,” the news release stated.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Pomerantz LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Missfresh Limited ("Missfresh" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: MF). Such investors are advised to contact Robert S. Willoughby at [email protected] or 888-476-6529, ext. 7980.
The investigation concerns whether Missfresh and certain of its officers and/or directors have engaged in securities fraud or other unlawful business practices.
[Click here for information about joining the class action]
On or around June 25, 2021, Missfresh conducted its initial public offering ("IPO"), selling approximately 21 million American depositary shares ("ADSs") priced at $13.00 per share.
On April 29, 2022, Missfresh filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission a Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 which announced that Missfresh would not be able to timely file its Annual Report on Form 20-F for 2021, due to an ongoing "internal review of certain matters, including those relating to transactions between the Company and certain third-party enterprises." On this news, Missfresh's ADSs fell $0.068 per ADS, or 13.2%, to close at $0.448 per ADS.
Then, on May 24, 2022, Missfresh disclosed that the Company was unable to file its 2021 Annual Report by the extended deadline, "primarily because the Company is unable to complete the audit of the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021". On this news, Missfresh's ADSs fell $0.018 per share, or 9.7%, over the following two trading days, to close at $0.167 per ADS on May 26, 2022.
Finally, on July 1, 2022, Missfresh issued a press release entitled "Missfresh Announces the Substantial Completion of the Audit Committee-Led Independent Internal Review" which disclosed, among other things, that the Company's review "identified certain transactions . . . that exhibit characteristics of questionable transactions, such as undisclosed relationships between suppliers and customers, different customers or suppliers sharing the same contact information, and/or lack of supporting logistics information" and that consequently, "certain revenue associated with those reporting periods in 2021 may have been inaccurately recorded in the Company's financial statements."

The NatWest Group Offer is being made on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in NatWest Group's offer to purchase dated August 1, 2022 and the related Notice of Guaranteed Delivery (the "NatWest Group Offer to Purchase"), and the NWM N.V.

Capitalized terms with respect to the NatWest Group Offer not otherwise defined in this announcement have the same meaning as in the NatWest Group Offer to Purchase and capitalized terms with respect to the NWM N.V. Offer not otherwise defined in this announcement have the same meaning as in the NWM N.V. Offer to Purchase.
Each Offeror is providing the holders of its Notes with an opportunity to have their Notes repurchased while maintaining a responsible approach to the management of its capital position and, in the case of NatWest Group, its MREL (minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities) position.

England’s top 5 stars of Euro 2022
By PA Staff published
The Wembley pitch is now glitter-free but the Lionesses were still sparkling in Trafalgar Square in front of the thousands who gathered on Monday to celebrate with the Euro 2022 champions.
It took a full-squad effort to lift the trophy. Sarina Wiegman never altered her starting XI, but it was often players on her deep bench who provided England’s most dramatic moments, no more so than Chloe Kelly’s championship decider, while understated anchors carried the squad all the way to the Lionesses’ first major title.
Here, the PA news agency picks out England’s top five stars of the tournament.
Beth Mead
Player of the Tournament: @bmeado9 🏆 pic.twitter.com/1rNcNqFzGC— Lionesses (@Lionesses) July 31, 2022
It was impossible for Mead to single-handedly carry all the trophies she collected on Sunday night. By the time she boarded the bus back to Lionesses HQ, Mead had clinched the Golden Boot and could call herself both European champion and Player of the Tournament after finishing the competition with six goals and five assists – also the competition’s number-one provider – across England’s perfect run to the title. It was the ultimate end to a redemption arc for the resilient Arsenal striker, who was entirely left off Team GB’s Tokyo 2020 Olympic squad.
Keira Walsh
FINALLLLLY, put some respect on her name https://t.co/qBI5zSN5NP— Leah Williamson (@leahcwilliamson) July 31, 2022
The Lionesses’ consistent, collected midfielder was named Player of the Match after the final, an honour that led captain Leah Williamson to tweet: “Finally. Put some respect on her name”. Walsh’s ball control and ability to find team-mates anywhere on the pitch, including the pinpoint through-ball that led to Ella Toone’s opener in the title clash, was unmatched throughout these Euros. Walsh also tied team-mate Fran Kirby and Sweden’s Kosovare Asllani for the second-most assists of the tournament and covered the fourth-most distance of any player.
Millie Bright
Bright’s formidable presence at the back was reassuring for team-mates and fans alike, who knew that if there was a dangerous ball in the air there would be Bright’s head rising to meet it, or a perfectly-placed foot to clear when the opposition’s attack edged ever-closer to the Lionesses’ goal. The Chelsea star always put her body on the line, anchoring a defence that was vital in England conceding just two goals all tournament.
Leah Williamson
The skipper’s stats speak for themselves: Williamson recovered more balls, 56, than any other player these Euros. Still, maths can only tell so much of the story, and Williamson’s contribution began well before the Lionesses’ opener at Old Trafford. The Arsenal star’s steadiness, eloquence and maturity have shone ever since she was named England’s permanent captain in April. She could be seen encouraging calm in the nervy start to Sunday’s showpiece before finally letting her raw emotions show after the final whistle, also taking time to console devastated German midfielder Lena Oberdorf during the celebrations.
Mary Earps
There was a point, just last summer, when the Manchester United goalkeeper did not even think she would be going to these Euros, let alone start every game for the Lionesses.
