Irv Gotti says he was hurt after he found out Ashanti was dating Nelly when they attended a NBA game together.
Not only did Irv Gotti profit off of Ashanti, but the label executive also seemed to want her for himself as he revealed in a new interview on Monday that he was “in love” with Ashanti and he was hurt when he learned about her relationship with Nelly.
In a Drink Champs interview preview, Gotti says he learned about the relationship between the two from a TV report which came as a surprise. The Murder Inc boss and his friend Ja Rule appeared on the talk show where they spoke about the events of the 2000s when music was at a creative high not seen since.
There have been rumors she and Gotti might have dated, but neither has ever confirmed or denied the rumors. According to Gotti, he was in love with his former artist, but the way he found out about her love life caused him pain.
“I could get past you wanting to be with Nelly,” said Irv. “Listen, at the time, it happens, any man is hurt. The chick that you f*ckin’ are in love with is with this n****a.”
N.O.R.E. then chimed in to call Nelly by his classic hit, “Country Grammar.”
Gotti added, “You wanna hear how I found out? Only on Drink Champs, it’s on the documentary, too,” Irv Gotti said about his Murder Inc docuseries. “I was at home… Listen to this sh*t. This was God wanting me to find out. Was at home, NBA package, I like watching sports. My God, what’s this commotion going on in the stadium? We just found out what the commotion is: Nelly has walked in with Ashanti.”
Nelly and Ashanti were not only together, but they had a solid 11-year relationship before splitting in 2014.
Gotti ain’t over it ??? pic.twitter.com/7eLW6RF0ou
— N.O.R.E (@noreaga) August 2, 2022
Meanwhile, many fans have reacted to Gotti bringing up Ashanti’s name, especially as the two are no longer on speaking terms due to problems with her masters. Gotti has refused to sell or hand over the rapper’s masters, leading to her announcing last year that she was in the process of re-recording all of her past albums so she could own the rights to her music.
The 41-year-old singer had appeared on The Breakfast Club show in late December, where she revealed plans to re-record her 2002 self-titled debut album Ashanti. She also revealed the reason behind it but did not name Gotti.
“So as an artist, when you are in the game for a certain amount of time, you pay your dues and things are supposed to come back to you,” she told the hosts when pressed about her motives. “You have a legal team that does what they’re supposed to do so that you can function and own (your work). So with my album being 20 years old in April (2022), obviously it makes sense for me to go in and re-record so that I can collect my coins,” she said.
Irv Gotti, however, appeared incensed about Ashanti’s plan as he revealed that she found a legal loophole to re-record the project.
“What she is trying to do is re-record all those great records, and put them out on her label,” Gotti wrote in an Instagram comment section of the Breakfast Club Show.
“She can do this under the COVER laws. But she is basically trying to f*** me out of my masters. And make people decide which album to listen too or stream. Hoping her loyal fans will choose her version. But hey. I stand on the Magic that was created. And I wanna see her duplicate that Magic. It’s f*** up really. But such is life.”
Gotti not only produced the album but also owned the masters.
On Twitter, fans dragged him for talking about Ashanti, especially since he was married at the time.
“This is Irv Gotti’s second time talking about Ashanti on Drink Champs, fam. Leave that woman alone,” one fan wrote.
“Irv Gotti got a lot of f**ing nerve. Ashanti living her best life and here his funky as come with all this nonsense making an allegation that Ashanti was out here home wrecking,” another fan said.
“Ashanti don’t give a fk about u. She out here living her best life on vacation touring and you still mad because she didn’t want to marry you , so you messed up her career on purpose. We don’t feel no sympathy for you . fk off Irv gotti,” another fan told Gotti.
“Irv Gotti needs to stop talking about Ashanti, he’s been doing it for over a decade. His stories are just as inconsistent as his diet plan, and here’s proof,” one fan said as he shared a video of the many times Gotti has brought up Ashanti, including a snippet from a Wendy Williams interview where he outrightly denied that he ever slept with the singer.
Damn Ashanti did Irv Gotti dirty stepping out with Nelly..Good thing he had his wife's shoulder to cry on https://t.co/BO2wJWnkX5

Coffs Harbour Running Festival moves into its 10th year Coffs Coast Sport Sport by News Of The Area - Modern Media - August 3, 2022 Edward Brazier will line up for his 10th Coffs Harbour Running Festival this year: Photo: NASHYPIX. THE Bendigo Bank Coffs Harbour Running Festival is celebrating its 10th event on Sunday 11 September. After two years of postponements, the 10th event celebrates the return of the Schools Challenge and a coveted one-off $5,000 prize pool for the Beachside Radiology Half Marathon. As well as raising more than $200,000 for charities in the past 10 years, the Bendigo Bank Coffs Harbour Running Festival has grown the local running community and personally helped many people become more healthy and physically fit.

New York to ban shark fin sales
ALBANY -- New York is banning trade in shark fins starting next summer in an effort to protect the marine predators.
The fins are used in soup popular in Chinese cuisine, and New York is home to one of the nation's largest Chinatowns. An estimated 73 million sharks are killed worldwide to meet the market demand, said Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, who signed the law Friday.
So-called "finning" of sharks -- catching them, cutting off their fins and returning them to the water to die -- is already illegal in U.S. and New York coastal waters. New York also prohibits sport fishing for many shark species.
"Not only is the process inhumane, but it also affects the natural balance of the oceanic ecosystem," Cuomo said.
The law takes effect July 1. It accommodates some demand by allowing the sale of fins from two species of dogfish.
"It would be stronger without the exception, but it will protect the vast majority of sharks," said Patrick Kwan of the Humane Society of the United States.
Some restaurateurs in Manhattan's Chinatown said they have been phasing out shark fin soup since other states began banning the traditional delicacy.
"We don't use very much shark fin right now," said Tony Chen, manager of Grand Harmony Palace. "Not that many people ask for it." Chen said that's partly because the soup is so expensive -- at least $80 for a small bowl -- and partly because shark fin has been difficult to procure since California and other West Coast states banned it. -- AP | https://www.newsday.com/news/region-state/new-york-to-ban-shark-fin-sales-t31285 | 2022-08-03T05:34:47Z | https://www.newsday.com/news/region-state/new-york-to-ban-shark-fin-sales-t31285 | false | 1 |
MACON, Ga. — Your wallet may feel a little fuller after Macon-Bibb's decision to roll back the millage rate Tuesday.
It could also feel a little emptier or even feel just the same. All three are possibilities, depending on your property value.
The millage rate can be difficult to understand, but here's the bottom line: one mill is about $1 for every $1,000 in your property value. So, two mills is $2 per $1,000.
Simple enough, right? Not so fast.
In Georgia, you're only taxed on 40% of your property value, so a two mill rollback on a $100,000 house could save you about $80 on your tax bill. It also might not if your property value went up enough. That's where it all starts: your property value assessment.
"Mayor and commissioners have absolutely nothing to do with any tax assessment that you may have received," Mayor Lester Miller explained during Tuesday's commission meeting. "Our job is to set the millage rate, which is actually the tax that's associated with any properties that we have."
Each summer, the county and school board set their own millage rates to help them pay the bills. Some homeowners are worried about how rising property values may impact them. Mayor Miller says they're able to reduce the millage rate thanks to the OLOST.
The OLOST is a one-penny sales tax that pays for government services. He says they're able to roll back taxes without losing money.
"These tax assessed values that have increased, if this commission rolls back the taxes, Macon-Bibb County does not receive any additional funds for this property," Miller said.
August 19, the school board will set their millage rate, and after that, you'll finally get your tax bill. It all depends on your property value to determine whether that bill goes up, down, or stays the same.
The school board has one more millage rate hearing on August 19. The county commission's decision is final. Since they're lowering rates, they don't need to have any more hearings like they would if they raised rates.

Rumor Killer On Brock Lesnar Retiring From WWE
As noted earlier, Brock Lesnar saluting fans with a cowboy hat tip after Saturday’s WWE SummerSlam has led to speculation about The Beast’s future in pro wrestling. Lesnar’s thank you gesture, which he made standing atop the elevated ring he earlier rearranged with a tractor, got many fans wondering if he’s taking time off from the company, or retiring altogether from in-ring competition. There was also a feeling on social media that Vince McMahon’s retirement could lead to The Beast following suit and riding off into the sunset. Lesnar has previously referred to McMahon as a father figure and a person he is forever indebted to. The rumors were also amplified by reports that a ticked-off Lesnar staged a walkout from the company following McMahon’s retirement last month. Lesnar would, however, subsequently return after reportedly agreeing to a deal with WWE management.

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- It did not take long for Elizabeth Mandlik to learn her mother, four-time major champion Hana Mandlikova, was kind of a big deal. After all, not many players on the Hologic WTA Tour can say they know their way around the inside of the daycare center at Wimbledon.
"She brought me everywhere," Mandlik told WTA Insider at the Mubadala Silicon Valley Classic. "So I would go when she would play Legends she'd take me. At the Grand Slams there was a daycare and I was with other kids and they were all talking like, 'Oh, so who's your mom?' I remember that."
Ranked No.240, Mandlik earned her first main-draw win Monday night at the Mubadala Silicon Valley Classic, defeating Alison Riske-Amritraj 6-3, 6-3 in the first round. The 21-year-old Floridian came to San Jose unsure she would even get into the qualifying event. Ten minutes before the draw, she learned she had received a qualifying wild card. A winner of three ITF 25K events this season, Mandlik proceeded to tally wins against Madrid semifinalist Jil Teichmann and Fernanda Contreras Gomez to earn her spot in the draw.
It's been a wild week for Mandlik. She was ranked just inside the Top 500 at the start of the year and had never even hit with a Top 100 player until this week.
"I've never really had an opportunity to play with these high-level players and to just be around them," Mandlik said. "To know that you can be there and be able to actually beat them, you create such a high belief in yourself and that you belong here.
"The belief was always there, but of course, it's questionable because I never even had the chance to practice with them. Now I'm actually playing a match and beating them."
Mandlik spoke to WTA Insider after her tour debut to shed light on her path to the pros and what it's like to chase her mother's shadow.
FIRST main draw win on Tour 💪

WTA Insider: How did you start playing tennis?
Mandlik: I started when I was 7 or 8. My mom didn't want to put me in tennis too early, to not get sick of it too fast. So I was put in tennis, soccer and gymnastics. My brother was as well.
I'm more of a competitive person by myself. I don't want to rely on a team and gymnastics just wasn't for me. So I just chose tennis. I'm a really competitive person so I think that's why, too.
WTA Insider: Was it super serious right away?
Mandlik: Not really. It was a fun thing. It was like an hour a day, three times a week, something like that. And then when I was 13 or 14 years old, I was going every winter to ski. I told my mom I want to be a professional skier. She was thinking about it because she knew that I was good at it.
She was like, I'm not going to move to a cold place for you, I'm not going to do that. So then I just went there and did that for fun. But if I didn't choose tennis, I would have chose to ski. I just loved racing.
WTA Insider: When did it become serious?
Mandlik: At 15 I knew that that's all I wanted to do. My twin brother, we have a little bit different mentalities. He loves the social aspect of it, so he went to college. And he kind of always knew he wanted to do that and I always knew that I didn't want to.
So my mom was like, OK, you're going to go to college and you're going to play professional. So she had to handle that. Of course, she wanted both of us to go.
WTA Insider: Having decided not to go the college route how did you chart out your path to become a professional tennis player?
Mandlik: I never thought to rush it. I just take my time and if it happens, it happens. If it doesn't, it doesn't. I can always go to college to be a doctor later on or whatever I want, you know what I mean? So I'm not rushing it, but for me, it's paying off.
WTA Insider: When did you come to realize that your mother is a Hall of Famer?
Mandlik: It was from a pretty young age because I only had my mom; I don't have a dad. So she brought me everywhere. So I would go when she would play Legends she'd take me. Then sometimes she wouldn't take me and I would be crying for the whole week. So I would say around 10, that's when I noticed.
At the Grand Slams there was a daycare and I was with other kids and they were all talking like, Oh, so who's your mom? I remember that.
WTA Insider: How has having your mom's experience helped you in pursuing your career?
Mandlik: It's helped me a lot. There's disadvantages and advantages, but what helps me is that I know that she knows how hard it is. She helps me just lift myself up. She's always positive no matter what because she knows I'm trying my best. She knows everything in the court and off the court so it's very easy to like talk to her about it.
And if I say, like, I don't want to practice, she'll say don't practice. She already built that in me that I know how much to push myself. So she doesn't want to push me any more because I already have it so high, you know?
WTA Insider: Has she ever tried to talk you out of it?
Mandlik: Yeah. It happens all the time. Like here, I played a tournament before this tournament and I got to the semis. Then I flew right back and my coach was like, 'Let's go to San Jose.' And my mom's like, 'You need to rest. You're only here for a day, I don't think it's a good idea.'
And my coach is like, 'No, I feel it. I think she needs to go and just try.' Even if we don't get in, it's fine. And my mom's like, 'No, I think she should rest.' And then my coach like, 'Please give me the opportunity.' So it was crazy how it worked out.
WTA Insider: I assume you've spoken to her since you won last night.
Mandlik: She was so happy. I listened to a video and she was like, 'I can't believe this.' I was like, 'Well, you better believe it.'
WTA Insider: When did you find out you were going to get a wild card into qualifying here?
Mandlik: It's a funny story. So we came here and I was an alternate. I was seven or eight out and we were just hoping to get in. We were just waiting and the supervisor said you're going to be like two out.
A girl I know, she had a wild card, and she told me that she's not coming. So I told my coach, go and push for the wild card, maybe I have a shot. So it was like 10 minutes before the draw that I knew.
WTA Insider: What has been the biggest challenge you've faced in your career so far?
Mandlik: Overcoming the losses. You have these three or four weeks where you just consistently lose, but the only reason you're losing is because you're improving something. You're playing so well on the practice court but you can't transition into the match yet. So that's the hardest part is just to stay positive in those moments.
WTA Insider: Off the court, how would you describe yourself?
Mandlik: I would say I have a very small circle. I'm not an extrovert, I'm an introvert for sure. I'm very easy to get along with. I don't have that many friends, I try to stay to myself. That's the way I like it.
I love hanging out with my brother and doing things with him. He play tennis at Oklahoma University. When he graduates he's going to go pro too.
WTA Insider: Are you a big tennis-head?
Mandlik: Yeah, I watch tennis all the time. Anytime there's a TV, I'm going to check if Tennis Channel's on and then I'll leave it on, even if it's in the background I need to have it on.
For example, I watch tennis at home all the time in the living room and my mom's like Eli, turn it off. I don't want to hear it anymore. She grew up with tennis and then she has two kids doing tennis. She's like I don't want to hear the ball! At least from the voice off (laughs).
WTA Insider: How would you describe your game-style?
Mandlik: Aggressive type of player who consistently keeps fighting. I try to move in as much as I can and take the ball early and always just try to step in and make the girl feel rushed.
I feel like I've gotten to that point to play like that in the last year. That's what's really catapulted me to do well. I really push myself to do that because I'm not that tall. I'm fast, but I'm not big, So I have to do something a little bit extra, you know? So, yeah, taking time away from the opponent.
WTA Insider: You mentioned that you had never hit with a Top 100 player before this week. Are there players on tour right now that you're champing at the bit to get to play?
Mandlik: So when I found out that my ranking was OK to play in qualifying at the US Open my brother was like, 'Oh, maybe you could get a wild card for main.' He was like, 'Would you rather play on an outside court some qualifier, or would you rather play Iga Swiatek?'
I was like, 'Are you kidding? What kind of question was that?' He said would rather play a qualifier. I would rather play Iga Swiatek on Center Court.
So I would say Iga.
WTA Insider: This is obviously your first WTA tournament. Looking ahead, what tournaments are you most looking forward to playing in the main draw?
Mandlik: U.S. Open for sure. I would say Wimbledon a bit more, but also U.S. Open. I would say Wimbledon because my mom never won Wimbledon and that's my goal. I want to win Wimbledon. Nobody can say 'Oh, her mom won it.' And I'm like, no, not this time. It's only me (laughs).
WTA Insider: What's the best tennis advice your mom has given you?
Mandlik: Tough moments don't last, but tough people do. | https://www.wtatennis.com/news/2712963/get-to-know-elizabeth-mandlik-daughter-of-hana-mandlikova | 2022-08-03T05:42:34Z | https://www.wtatennis.com/news/2712963/get-to-know-elizabeth-mandlik-daughter-of-hana-mandlikova | true | 2 |
COMMUNITY groups ranging from the sporting to the cultural and everything in between got together on Monday for a donation presentation.
They were in the Bathurst Regional council chamber for the formal ceremony for council's Section 356 donations, which aim to help in the daily operations of community activities.

Director of corporate services and finance Aaron Jones didn't have cheques to hand over - it is all done by electronic transfer these days - but said the gathering was a good opportunity to recognise the many groups doing important work in the community.
IN OTHER NEWS AROUND BATHURST:
He said a Living Legends morning tea the day before - attended by inductees from 2020, 2021 and 2022 - had been a way to acknowledge community service and community contributions.
"And I guess today [the Section 356 donations presentation] is also a smaller recognition for those community groups and volunteers that are actually investing in our community," he said.
Mr Jones received a round of applause from those attending when he said the more than $220,000 being distributed by council for this lot of Section 356 donations is the highest amount council has ever given.
Mayor Robert Taylor congratulated all the recipients, saying their effort and commitment "make our region a better place to live, work, play and stay". | https://www.westernadvocate.com.au/story/7842106/gathering-at-chamber-recognises-community-contributions/ | 2022-08-03T05:44:09Z | https://www.westernadvocate.com.au/story/7842106/gathering-at-chamber-recognises-community-contributions/ | false | 1 |

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 50 million Americans suffer from different types of allergies. Among those, food allergy is the most common one and is found in both adults and children. Food allergies do not go away in most cases, and last lifelong. However, it has been found that approximately 20% of children with allergies to peanuts and 14% of children with allergies to tree nuts eventually get rid of it.
There are different types of nuts including cashews, pecans, almonds, macadamia nuts, pistachios, walnuts, and Brazil nuts. People allergic to any of these types of nuts show specific signs and symptoms. Although peanuts are not considered nuts despite having the word nuts in their name, many people are allergic to them and show symptoms similar to nut allergies.
According to the Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE), if people are allergic to one kind of tree nut, it is highly possible that they will be allergic to other types of nuts as well. There are almost 25% to 40% of people who suffer from both peanut as well as tree nut allergies.
People allergic to nuts show many signs and symptoms, especially skin rashes. The reason is that their body considers nuts as allergens and initiates an immune response against them by releasing a substance called histamine, which is the trigger for different symptoms. Check our list of signs and symptoms of nut allergy below.
Nut Allergy: Some Common Signs and Symptoms
According to Healthline, the following are some of the signs and symptoms that are commonly found in people with a nut allergy:
Skin Problems: People who are susceptible to nut allergies often show some skin problems including hives, irritation, swelling, inflammation, redness, rashes, tenderness, and breakouts. The symptoms go away once the allergic reaction is over. People also take antihistamines to outgrow the allergic signs and symptoms.
ENT (eye, nose, and throat) Problems: It has been found that the allergic reactions initiated due to nuts often affect the upper respiratory tract leading to many signs and symptoms like sneezing, stuffy nose, watery eyes, running nose, itching, and sore throat.
GIT (Gastrointestinal Tract) Complications: The majority of nut allergies result in stomach issues because the allergens make their way into the intestines via the stomach. Some of the common stomach issues are nausea, stomach cramps, diarrhea, and vomiting.
Breathing Complications and Anaphylaxis: As a reaction against nut allergens, inflammation may occur in some body parts including the airways. The swelling of airways restricts the flow of air and therefore results in breathing difficulty and shortness of breath. Some people may even develop allergic asthma and anaphylaxis, leading to the worst symptoms of shortness of breath.
Anaphylaxis is one of the worst allergic reactions caused due to an immune response of the body against allergens. The production of histamines during an anaphylactic reaction is more, leading to swelling in the airways and throat which makes it extremely difficult to breathe. Some other symptoms of anaphylaxis besides shortness of breath are itching, hypotension or low blood pressure, confusion, swelling in the face, and changes in the heart rate.
People should not ignore the signs and symptoms associated with a nut allergy and should visit a specialist as soon as they experience the above-mentioned symptoms.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Jorge Mateo homered twice and drove in five runs to help the Baltimore Orioles defeat the Texas Rangers 8-2 on Tuesday night.
Batting ninth in the lineup, Mateo set his single-game highs for home runs and RBIs. He has 10 homers and 32 RBIs this season.
Texas starter Spencer Howard (2-3) retired the first six Baltimore batters. He hit Ramon Urias with a pitch leading off the third inning and walked rookie Terrin Vavra before giving up Mateo's first homer on an 0-2 pitch.
Adley Rutschman singled home a fourth run, and the lead grew to 5-0 on a sacrifice fly by Ryan Mountcastle.
Winning pitcher Jordan Lyles (8-8) allowed one run and scattered seven hits over 6 1/3 innings against his former team. After Lyles' two seasons with Texas, the Orioles signed him last November as a free agent. He lost his shutout bid in the fifth when Marcus Semien's two-out single scored Meibrys Viloria from second base.
Viloria scored both Texas runs. He hit his second homer this season leading off the ninth against left-hander Nick Vespi.
Viloria also doubled in the second and singled in the fifth against Lyles.
Dillon Tate relieved with two runners on in the seventh and kept the Rangers from scoring.
Howard exited after allowing back-to-back doubles to Rutschman and Anthony Santander to open the fifth.
Baltimore right-hander Felix Bautista entered in the ninth with two outs and two on. Bautista struck out Leody Taveras to end the game.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Rangers: INF/OF Brad Miller (neck strain) played third base for Double-A Frisco and went 0 for 4. He started a double play and committed a throwing error. Miller had played one prior rehab with Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday. ... OF Adolis Garcia was not in the starting lineup, but manager Chris Woodward said he was merely resting Garcia, who had played 98 of the first 102 games this season. He pinch-hit for Kole Calhoun in the eighth inning and struck out.
UP NEXT
Orioles: RHP Kyle Bradish (1-4, 7.01 ERA) starts Wednesday afternoon as Baltimore tries to complete a three-game sweep.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — In a game played as Vin Scully's death was announced by the Dodgers, Los Angeles beat the San Francisco Giants 9-5 on Tuesday night behind Mookie Betts' home run and three RBIs.
The Giants played a tribute on their video board after the final out at Oracle Park, the stadium where in October 2016 Scully broadcast the final game of his 67 seasons with the Dodgers. He died Tuesday at age 94.
“It was first-class by the Giants," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “It's sort of an ëmotional roller-coaster and it was kind of a little subdued.”
Los Angeles won its six straight game over the Giants and improved the major leagues' best record to 70-33.
Tyler Anderson (12-1) won his fourth straight decision, Betts finished a triple shy of the cycle and Gavin Lux and Cody Bellinger drove in two runs apiece. Trea Turner and Austin Barnes added RBIs for Los Angeles, which has won six of its last seven games.
Turner extended his hitting streak to 20 games.
Anderson (12-1) allowed five runs and six hits in five innings with four walks and three strikeouts.
Joey Bart homered for San Francisco, which fell to 3-10 since the All-Star break. David Villar and Luis González also drove in runs for the Giants.
The Dodgers jumped to a 6-0 lead against Alex Wood (7-9), who had stints with the Dodgers from 2015-18 and in 2020. He gave up six runs and nine hits in 5 1/3 innings.
San Francisco closed with a five-run fourth.
Los Angeles extended its lead in the eighth inning, scoring three runs on four consecutive extra-base hits from Lux, Barnes, Bellinger and Betts.
Dodgers relievers Evan Phillips, Alex Vesia, Chris Martin and David Price combined to pitch the final four scoreless innings, allowing just one hit.

Los Angeles also traded IF/OF Jake Lamb to the Seattle Mariners for cash and sent RHP Mitch White and minor league IF Alex De Jesus to the Toronto Blue Jays for minor league pitchers Nick Frasso and Moises Brito.
RUF ON THE MOVE
The Giants traded IF/OF Darin Ruf to the New York Mets for INF/OF J.D. Davis and minor league pitchers Carson Seymour, Nick Zwack and Thomas Szapucki.
San Francisco also traded RHP Trevor Rosenthal to the Milwaukee Brewers for minor league OF Tristan Peters and C Curt Casali and LHP Matthew Boyd to the Mariners for minor league RHP Michael Stryffeler and C Andy Thomas.
The Giants assigned RHP Angel Rondón outright to Triple-A Sacramento and recalled LHP Alex Young, while RHP Tobias Myers was claimed off waivers by the Chicago White Sox and RHP Kervin Castro was claimed by the Cubs.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Dodgers: 3B Justin Turner (abdominal strain) was placed on the 10-day injured list, backdated to July 30. Los Angeles selected the contract of IF/OF Miguel Vargas from Triple-A Oklahoma City. ... IF/OF Chris Taylor (left foot fracture) began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Oklahoma City. Taylor started in left field and went 0 for 3.
Giants: SS Brandon Crawford (left knee inflammation) began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Sacramento, going 0 for 1 with a walk. ... OF Joc Pederson and SS Thairo Estrada are both recovering well from concussions and expected to return when first eligible to come off the 7-day concussion injured list on Saturday and Monday, respectively.
UP NEXT
Dodgers LHP Julio Urías (10-6, 2.71 ERA) looks for his eighth straight win Wednesday night. Urías has allowed two runs or fewer in eight of his last 10 starts.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — David Fletcher hit a leadoff homer, José Suarez didn't allow an earned run in his second consecutive start and the Los Angeles Angels defeated the Oakland Athletics 3-1 Tuesday night.
Elvis Andrus had three hits and Sean Murphy reached base three times along with driving in a run for the Athletics, who have dropped three straight following a four-game winning streak.
Fletcher — who missed 69 games due to a left hip strain — drove a fastball from Cole Irvin (6-8) over the left-field wall in the first inning. It was the Angels' fourth leadoff homer this season and the sixth leadoff shot of Fletcher's career.
Fletcher has hits in all four games since coming off the injured list, going 5 for 14 with three RBIs.
Suarez (3-4) was the planned last-minute starter after Noah Syndergaard was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies before the game. Suarez went five innings and gave up an unearned run on five hits. He struck out five.
Jose Quijada retired the side in the ninth for his second save.
The Angels added a run in the second due to a pair of Athletics errors. Jo Adell had an infield single with one out and advanced to second on a throwing error by Oakland third baseman Jonah Bride. Adell then scored when Andrus made a wild throw from shortstop into the Athletics' first-base dugout on a routine grounder by Phil Gosselin.
Gosselin gave Los Angeles a 3-0 lead in the fourth on an RBI single.
Oakland got its lone run in the fifth. Bride drew a leadoff walk, advanced to second on a passed ball and scored on Murphy's hit into the left-center gap.
Irvin allowed three runs (two earned) and six hits in six innings with four strikeouts.
ROSTER MOVES
Athletics: RHP Dany Jiménez and DH Jed Lowrie were reinstated from the injured list. Lowrie went 1 for 4, while Jiménez will likely be used in low-leverage situations in his first couple of appearances out of the bullpen.
Angels: The contract of INF Jose Rojas was selected after INF David MacKinnon was designated for assignment. Los Angeles had only 24 active players on the roster following the deadline-day trades of Syndergaard, outfielder Brandon Marsh and closer Raisel Iglesias.
UP NEXT
Athletics: RHP James Kaprielian (2-5, 4.50 ERA) had a 1.93 ERA in July, which was fifth in the AL.
Angels: RHP Shohei Ohtani (9-6, 2.81) has six straight games of double-digit strikeouts, one from tying Nolan Ryan's franchise record set in 1977.

Jets Q&A: What's up with Dee Milliner?
Why was Dee Milliner benched?
Here's another question: Why didn't Rex Ryan take him out sooner?
To no surprise, the Bengals targeted the rookie cornerback from the get-go. And it worked. Milliner, the ninth overall pick in the 2013 draft, didn't even make it to halftime. "I benched him because, physically, he wasn't getting it done," Ryan said of Milliner, who surrendered 108 yards on four catches.
Darrin Walls, Milliner's replacement, immediately was beaten on a 6-yard touchdown pass to Marvin Jones.
Milliner's rookie season has been a major disappointment, largely because of injuries. He's played in only four games this season, and when he does suit up, opposing quarterbacks immediately take aim at him.
"I should have made the plays they threw at me," he said. "And I didn't do that when I had the chance. It's very frustrating. I think I let my teammates down by not making the plays I should have made."
Asked if he will have an open competition for Milliner's starting spot, Ryan said: "Well, we'll play who we think, who we feel is the best guy for us. There's no question about that. We'll decide that with every position.''
How did Matt Simms enjoy his NFL debut?
Not as much as he would have if it had not come in a blowout loss, but still . . .
"There are a lot of emotions going," said Simms, who replaced Geno Smith after Smith threw his second pick-6 early in the fourth quarter.
"I was very excited to go in, but obviously not under the circumstances. But still, it was a good experience to get out there, see the field, see the defense, get hit for the first time since preseason."
Speaking of getting hit, on a fourth-and-11 play, Simms scrambled 10 yards to the Cincinnati 32, where he took on the Bengals' Brandon Ghee. The cornerback upended him, sending him flying and landing on his back, inches short of a first down.
"I'm probably going to get a few messages from my father telling me to be a little smarter in that situation," he said, referring to former Giants quarterback Phil Simms. "But I just kind of wanted to show everyone that I'm going to sacrifice and play hard and play to the last play no matter what the score is . . . My first instinct was to jump up because I thought the guy was going to go low on me, and he made a good play."
Simms finished 3-for-7 passing for 17 yards and ran three times for 35 yards, with a long of 22. He joins his father and brother Chris in playing quarterback in the NFL, tying the Simms family with the Manning family in that category.

PARIS, Aug 3 (Reuters) - French utility company Veolia (VIE.PA) posted a rise in its first-half core earnings and stuck to its 2022 goals for financial growth, as it continued to integrate businesses form its earlier takeover of rival Suez.
"The integration of Suez's activities since mid-January was very successful. Their contribution in terms of revenue and synergies is up to our expectations, which confirms the merits of this acquisition," said Veolia chief executive Estelle Brachlianoff.
"These very good results also benefited from the continued strict cost discipline which allowed us to fully confirm our 2022 objectives," she added.

KILLED: Kwesi Cox. –
A Freeport man is calling on youths to find something constructive to do with their time after his nephew was murdered during an attempted robbery.
Speaking with the media at the Forensic Science Centre in St James on Tuesday, Deryck Charles said the killers made off with just a cellphone.
“That was real pettiness. The youths and them need to wise up and try and find themselves in this time because it is a sad state right now. The world in a mess.”
Charles said he was at home, just behind his brother’s Calcutta No. 1, Freeport home when, at about 2 pm, he heard a gunshot shot and rushed to his brother’s home where he found Kwesi Cox naked and bleeding.
The 32-year-old was unemployed, Charles said, but would do odd jobs and sometimes sell cold drinks whenever he could.
Charles said the criminals went to rob Cox’s father who operates a fruit stall outside his home. The gunmen ordered the businessman into his home and, while doing so, the father shouted out “bandits” and ran through his house.
One of the men fired, and Cox, who just stepped out of the bathroom, was shot in the neck. He was taken to the Couva Health Facility where he was declared dead.
“He liked to drink and lime. He always used to say he wanted to drive a BMW in the future. That was his goal, but it was never accomplished,” Charles said of his nephew.
He added that the family has not been coping well.
“That was a shocker. You would always see these things on the TV and never really know until it hits home. It was real hard. Right now the family not taking it too right at all.”
After shooting Cox, the bandits ran off with a cellphone they took from one of two of his father’s friends who were liming with him before entering the house. | https://trinidadtribune.com/uncle-of-murdered-freeport-man-tells-youths-be-productive/ | 2022-08-03T06:23:44Z | https://trinidadtribune.com/uncle-of-murdered-freeport-man-tells-youths-be-productive/ | true | 2 |
Roosevelt High School security guard filmed teen in restroom
A school security guard videotaped a teenage boy in the restroom at Roosevelt High School, then posted the footage on a mobile app for videos, Nassau police said.
Authorities arrested Daniel Williams, 24, of West Babylon, and charged him with felony second-degree unlawful surveillance and endangering the welfare of a child, a misdemeanor.
Williams is accused of videotaping the 16-year-old student as he used a restroom stall on Tuesday morning. Police said he sent the footage with Snapchat, an increasingly popular mobile messaging app for images, which self-destruct after the receiver views them.
Williams declined to comment when reached Wednesday evening.
After the incident, the student notified school administrators, who alerted police, said Det. Lt. Rich LeBrun, a police spokesman.
Williams has been a security guard for two years, LeBrun said. Detectives are trying to determine how many people were sent the video, he said.
A spokeswoman for the school district said Williams was suspended with pay and ordered not to go on school grounds unless he gets approval.
Williams was released with an appearance ticket for April 11 at First District Court in Hempstead. | https://www.newsday.com/long-island/nassau/roosevelt-high-school-security-guard-filmed-teen-in-restroom-n87185 | 2022-08-03T06:27:25Z | https://www.newsday.com/long-island/nassau/roosevelt-high-school-security-guard-filmed-teen-in-restroom-n87185 | false | 1 |
Australian shares snapped a six-day rally on Wednesday, dragged down by resources and banking stocks, tracking subdued global sentiment due to escalating US-China tensions and US Federal Reserve hinting at more rate hikes.
The S&P/ASX 200 index fell 0.8% to 6,941 by 0030 GMT. It had ended marginally higher on Tuesday.
A dual impact of US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan, stoking fresh tensions between US and China, and comments from US Federal Reserve on suggesting more interest rate hikes dampened global risk appetite.
Australian shares rise on mining, energy boost
Elsewhere, Japan’s Nikkei rose 0.8%, while S&P 500 E-minis futures fell 0.1%.
Miners and mining sub-index dropped more than 1%, with heavyweights BHP Group, Rio Tinto and Fortescue Metals Group sliding between 0.4% and 1.2%.
Financials, too, shed close to 1%, with all of the so-called “Big Four” banks trading in negative territory.
Energy stocks and gold stocks dropped 1% and 1.5%, respectively, with oil majors Santos and Woodside Energy Group falling 1% each, while Australia’s largest gold miner Newcrest Mining slipped 0.9%.
Technology stocks emerged as the sole gainers on the benchmark, rising 0.6%, with ASX-listed shares of Block Inc and Xero Ltd climbing 5.4% and 0.3%, respectively.
In New Zealand, the benchmark S&P/NZX 50 index rose 0.3% to 11,573.12.
The country’s unemployment rate rose 3.3% in the second quarter, according to data released by Statistics New Zealand. | https://www.brecorder.com/news/40189812/australian-shares-snap-six-day-rally-on-sino-us-tensions-fed-comments | 2022-08-03T06:28:45Z | https://www.brecorder.com/news/40189812/australian-shares-snap-six-day-rally-on-sino-us-tensions-fed-comments | false | 1 |
MIAMI (AP) — It’s one of the seafood industry’s most gruesome hunts.
Every year, the fins of as many as 73 million sharks are sliced from the backs of the majestic sea predators, their bleeding bodies sometimes dumped back into the ocean where they are left to suffocate or die of blood loss.
But while the barbaric practice is driven by China, where shark fin soup is a symbol of status for the rich and powerful, America’s seafood industry isn’t immune from the trade.
A spate of recent criminal indictments highlights how U.S. companies, taking advantage of a patchwork of federal and state laws, are supplying a market for fins that activists say is as reprehensible as the now-illegal trade in elephant ivory once was.
A complaint quietly filed last month in Miami federal court accused an exporter based in the Florida Keys, Elite Sky International, of falsely labeling some 5,666 pounds of China-bound shark fins as live Florida spiny lobsters. Another company, south Florida-based Aifa Seafood, is also under criminal investigation for similar violations, according to two people on the condition of anonymity to discuss the ongoing probe. The company is managed by a Chinese-American woman who in 2016 pleaded guilty to shipping more than a half-ton of live Florida lobsters to her native China without a license.
The heightened scrutiny from law enforcement comes as Congress debates a federal ban on shark fins — making it illegal to import or export even foreign-caught fins. Every year, American wildlife inspectors seize thousands of shark fins while in transit to Asia for failing to declare the shipments.

While not all sharks are killed just for their fins, none of the other shark parts harvested in the U.S. and elsewhere — such as its meat, jaws or skin — can compete with fins in terms of value. Depending on the type of shark, a single pound of fins can fetch hundreds of dollars, making it one of the priciest seafood products by weight anywhere.
“If you’re going out of business because you can no longer sell fins, then what are you actually fishing for?,” said Whitney Webber, a campaign director at Washington-based Oceana, which supports the ban.
Since 2000, federal law has made it illegal to cut the fins off sharks and discard their bodies back into the ocean. However, individual states have wide leeway to decide whether or not businesses can harvest fins from dead sharks at a dock, or import them from overseas.
The legislation working its way through Congress would impose a near-total ban on trade in fins, similar to action taken by Canada in 2019. The legislation, introduced in 2017 by a bipartisan group of lawmakers, has majority support in both the House and Senate.
Among those opposing the proposed ban is Elite, which has hired lobbyists to urge Congress to vote against the bill, lobbying records show.
It’s not known where Elite obtained its fins. But in the criminal complaint, the company was also accused of sourcing lobster from Nicaragua and Belize that it falsely stated was caught in Florida. The company, affiliated with a Chinese-American seafood exporter based in New York City, was charged with violating the Lacey Act, a century-old statute that makes it a crime to submit false paperwork for any wildlife shipped overseas.
An attorney for Elite wouldn’t comment nor did two representatives of Aifa when reached by phone.
Overfishing has led to a 71% decline in shark species since the 1970s. The International Union for Conservation of Nature, a Switzerland-based group that tracks wildlife populations, estimates that over a third of the world’s 500-plus shark species are threatened with extinction.
Contrary to industry complaints about excessive regulations, the U.S. is hardly a model of sustainable shark management, said Webber. She pointed to a recent finding by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration that less than 23% of the 66 shark stocks in U.S. waters are safe from overfishing. The status of more than half of shark stocks isn’t even known.
The situation in Europe is even worse: a new report from Greenpeace, called “Hooked on Sharks,” revealed what it said is evidence of the deliberate targeting of juvenile blue sharks by fishing fleets from Spain and Portugal. The report found that the U.S. is the world’s fourth-largest shark exporter behind Spain, China and Portugal, with exports of 3.2 million kilograms of meat — but not fins — worth over $11 million in 2020.
Webber said rather than safeguard a small shark fishing industry, the U.S. should blaze the trail to protect the slow-growing, long-living fish.
“We can’t ask other countries to clean up their act if we’re not doing it well ourselves,” said Webber.
She said the current laws aren’t enough of a deterrent in an industry where bad actors drawn by the promise of huge profits are a recurrent problem.
Case in point: Mark Harrison, a Florida fisherman who in 2009 pleaded guilty to three criminal counts tied to his export of shark fins, some of them protected species. He was ordered to pay a $5,000 fine and was banned from having anything to do with the shark fin trade for five years.
But federal prosecutors allege that he reconnected to associates of his former co-conspirators in 2013 in violation of the terms of his probation. He was arrested in 2020 on mail and wire fraud conspiracy charges as part of a five-year investigation, called Operation Apex, targeting a dozen individuals who also allegedly profited from drug trafficking. Prosecutors allege Harrison’s Florida-based Phoenix Fisheries was a “shell company” for individuals based in California, where possession of fins has been illegal since 2011.
As part of the bust, the Feds found documents about some 6 tons of shark fin exports and seized 18 totoaba fish bladders, a delicacy in Asia taken from an endangered species. They also seized 18,000 marijuana plants, multiple firearms and $1 million in diamonds — pointing to a criminal enterprise that transcended illegal seafood and stretched deep into the Mexican and Chinese mafia underworlds.
“This operation is about much more than disrupting the despicable practice of hacking the fins off sharks and leaving them to drown in the sea to create a bowl of soup,” Bobby Christine, then U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Georgia, said at the time.
An attorney for Harrison declined to comment on the case, which has yet to go to trial. But unlike his co-defendants, Harrison isn’t implicated in any drug-related or weapons offenses. Supporters say he has complied with all laws and is being unfairly targeted by bureaucrats overlooking the key role he played in the 1980s, when sharks were even more threatened, developing the U.S. shark fishery.
“They appear to be using the current widespread empathy toward sharks for publicity and career advancement in what would otherwise be a very routine matter,” reads a website run by supporters seeking to raise $75,000 for a “Shark Defense Fund” to help Harrison fight the charges.
“In the process, they are seeking to tarnish Mark’s reputation and deal a blow to the American shark fishery,” according to the website, which was taken down after the AP started making inquiries.
Demian Chapman, who heads shark research at the Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota, Florida, said that the push to ban commercial fishing of sharks could backfire.
“If you subtract the U.S. from the fin trade entirely, it won’t do anything to directly affect international demand and it’s likely that other countries, with far less regulation of their fisheries, will fill the void,” said Chapman.
He said the bill introduced by Sen. Cory Booker, a Democrat of New Jersey, appears to be driven by “shark fans” — not “shark fins” — and those who want to see the fish species afforded the same very high level of protection afforded to marine mammals and sea turtles. He said few in the U.S. are involved in the cruel, wasteful practice of shark finning and that the U.S.’ role as a transit hub for fins can be remedied without punishing American fishers.
“There’s a disconnect between perceptions and reality,” said Chapman. “In the 25 years I’ve been studying sharks, they’ve gone from demon fish to a group of species that many people want to protect. This is great but we have to support science-based management measures that address the real problems.”

SANDUSKY, Ohio (AP) — Jim Obergefell, whose landmark case before the U.S. Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage nationally, is hoping he and fellow Democrats can make gains in the Ohio Statehouse this year with a message grounded in equality.
“It really just all comes down to: Can’t we all just get along and treat each other like human beings? Can’t we be decent people?” the celebrity plaintiff -turned-Ohio House candidate told the Democratic Women of Erie County on a recent summer evening. “And we all deserve to be part of ‘We the People.’”
Obergefell, 56, is unopposed in a primary Tuesday for a state legislative seat representing Ohio’s Lake Erie coast through Ottawa and Erie counties. He’s already looking toward a November faceoff against second-term Republican Rep. D.J. Swearingen, 36, a Sandusky attorney who has focused his campaign on “kitchen table” issues.
The race marks the first time that Obergefell has moved from activism into a political run for office. He’s campaigning at a sensitive time for the LGBTQ rights movement after the U.S. Supreme Court in June repealed the constitutional right to abortion, raising fears that other rights may also fall away, including same-sex marriage.
With that in mind, the U.S. House overwhelmingly voted last month to approve legislation protecting same-sex and interracial marriages. The legislation is being considered in the Senate.
Obergefell became among the most visible figures in the marriage equality movement after he and his longtime partner, John Arthur, who was dying, flew to Maryland and were wed in a plane on a tarmac because the Cincinnati-area couple couldn’t do so legally in Ohio. Arthur died a few months later, and Obergefell’s fight to be listed as spouse on the death certificate led to his role in the landmark 2015 ruling that legalized same-sex marriage.
In Ohio now, Obergefell’s pitch for inclusion is running into a heated political environment. The primary election itself had to be split because of a contentious and protracted political mapmaking fight, with a federal panel of judges ultimately setting the date and imposing maps that a different court has declared unconstitutional. Legal battles continue.
GOP mapmakers redrew the 89th House District that Obergefell is seeking in the face of his candidacy, and the district now leans nearly 57% Republican, according to Dave’s Redistricting App, a political mapmaking website. That should favor Swearingen in a state that former President Donald Trump twice won by wide margins and where Republicans control every branch of government.
Obergefell appears to remain a threat, however. He is the best-known state legislative candidate on Ohio’s 2022 ballot and among its top legislative fundraisers so far, having outraised Swearingen more than 4 to 1, according to campaign finance reports.
That’s in part because his popularity as a civil rights icon has drawn support from a host of deep-pocketed national progressive groups — including the LGBTQ Victory Fund, the Human Rights Campaign and Democracy for America — as well as in-state donors.
Obergefell said he believes his party can reach moderate Republicans and independents with their message of inclusiveness if voters “see the Democratic Party being obvious, being clear, being direct on what they believe in and what they will fight to protect and support.”
But Swearingen said district voters he’s spoken to are not focused on social issues, but on pocketbook ones.
“What I continue to hear from people is gas, groceries, feeding their families — very kitchen table issues that are very relevant and important to them. They’re immediately in front of them,” he said. “The social issues do not appear to be very high on the list.”
That’s not the case for Darlene Walk, a Sandusky native and vice president of the Democratic Women of Erie County. She said she plans to vote for Obergefell and is encouraging friends of all partisan persuasions to do the same.
“We’re ready for a change, and you have to accept people as they are, where they are and what they do and what they stand for,” she said. “And he stands for progress.” | https://www.ksnt.com/news/national/same-sex-marriage-plaintiff-obergefell-runs-for-ohio-office/ | 2022-08-03T06:32:25Z | https://www.ksnt.com/news/national/same-sex-marriage-plaintiff-obergefell-runs-for-ohio-office/ | true | 36 |

TAIPEI, Taiwan — U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, meeting leaders in Taiwan despite warnings from China, said Wednesday that she and other members of Congress in a visiting delegation are showing they will not abandon their commitment to the self-governing island.
"Today the world faces a choice between democracy and autocracy," she said in a short speech during a meeting with Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen. "America's determination to preserve democracy, here in Taiwan and around the world, remains ironclad."
China, which claims Taiwan as its territory and opposes any engagement by Taiwanese officials with foreign governments, announced multiple military exercises around the island and issued a series of harsh statements after the delegation touched down in the Taiwanese capital, Taipei, on Tuesday night.
Pelosi's trip has heightened U.S.-China tensions more than visits by other members of Congress because of her high-level position as leader of the House of Representatives. She is the first speaker of the house to come to Taiwan in 25 years, since Newt Gingrich in 1997.
Tsai, thanking Pelosi for her decades of support for Taiwan, presented the speaker with a civilian honor, the Order of the Propitious Clouds. She was more pointed about Chinese threats in her remarks than Pelosi was.
"Facing deliberately heightened military threats, Taiwan will not back down," Tsai said. "We will firmly uphold our nation's sovereignty and continue to hold the line of defense for democracy."
Shortly after Pelosi landed, China announced live-fire drills that would start Tuesday night and a four-day exercise beginning Thursday in waters on all sides of the island.
China's air force also flew a relatively large contingent of 21 war planes, including fighter jets, toward Taiwan.
Pelosi noted that support for Taiwan is bipartisan in Congress and praised the island's democracy.
Her focus has always been the same, she said, going back to her 1991 visit to Beijing's Tiananmen Square, when she and other lawmakers unfurled a small banner supporting democracy, two years after a bloody military crackdown on protesters at the square.
That visit was also about human rights and what she called dangerous technology transfers to "rogue countries."
Pelosi is visiting a human rights museum in Taipei later Wednesday before she departs for South Korea, the next stop on an Asia tour that also includes Singapore, Malaysia and Japan.
Pelosi, who is leading the trip with five other members of Congress, met earlier Wednesday with representatives from Taiwan's legislature.
"Madam Speaker's visit to Taiwan with the delegation, without fear, is the strongest defense of upholding human rights and consolidation of the values of democracy and freedom," Tsai Chi-chang, vice president of Taiwan's legislature, said in welcome.
The administration of U.S. President Joe Biden has sought to tone down the volume on the visit, insisting there's no change in America's longstanding "one-China policy," which recognizes Beijing but allows informal relations and defense ties with Taipei.
Pelosi said her delegation has "heft," including Gregory Meeks, chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and Raja Krishnamoorthi from the House Intelligence Committee.
She also mentioned Rep. Suzan DelBene, whom Pelosi said was instrumental in the passage of a $280 billion bill aimed at boosting American manufacturing and research in semi-conductor chips — an industry in which Taiwan dominates that is vital for modern electronics.
Reps. Andy Kim and Mark Takano are also in the delegation.

How do Vizio’s newest sound bars stand up to other top devices?
Vizio recently announced two new sound bars, set for release on Aug. 3. The Vizio M-Series Elevate has speakers that rotate to optimize sound quality, and the Vizio M-Series All-In-One features a low-profile design and budget price. Still, how will these speakers stand up to favorites like the Sonos Arc and other Dolby Atmos sound bars?
Everything you need to know about the Vizio M-Series Elevate
Vizio’s Elevate sound bar debuted at the 2020 Consumer Electronics Show. The Elevate was the first sound bar to feature auto-rotating speakers, meant to enhance audio quality by rotating to face the ceiling when playing Dolby Atmos and DTS:X content. Dolby Atmos and DTS:X are audio codecs that simulate sound moving around you. Vizio’s rotating speakers aim to make the most of these audio codecs by bouncing sound off your ceiling. The original Elevate sound bars also turned the speakers forward to enhance standard surround and stereo audio.
The M-Series Elevate is a more affordable version of the company’s original Elevate sound bar, featuring the same rotating-speaker technology as its predecessor. Unlike the 2020 model, this budget sound bar doesn’t spin its speakers forward to enhance stereo sound. Still, the upward-facing speaker configuration is sure to enhance DTS:X content. You can change the speaker’s LED lights between eight colors.
It features 13 speakers, including separate tweeters and woofers. The included wireless subwoofer is a more compact, rounded take on the one that came with the original Elevate.
Everything you need to know about the Vizio M-Series All-In-One
The All-In-One is similar to Vizio’s M21D-H8R sound bar, except it features DTS:X and Dolby Atmos support. Like the M21D-H8R, it has six internal speakers, including separate tweeters and woofers. At around $200, it’s an excellent way to get Dolby Atmos sound on a budget.
Sonos vs. Vizio
Like the Vizio M-Series speakers, most Sonos sound bars are compatible with Dolby Atmos content. They are designed to pair with other Sonos speakers to enhance their surround sound capabilities and can typically pair with non-Sonos speakers, although it isn’t as straightforward.
Sonos sound bars can be controlled via remote, and in many cases, by the new Sonos voice assistant. Many Sonos speakers aren’t compatible with DTS:X and are often more expensive than Vizio’s M-Series speakers. Still, Sonos is one of the most popular sound bar brands out there.
Vizio sound bar FAQ
Are sound bars as good as surround sound systems?
A. Surround sound systems generally provide a more immersive experience, but they can be costly and take up a lot of space. Sound bars aim to simulate a surround sound experience by bouncing sound off your walls and ceiling, but the results aren’t quite the same. Still, many prefer sound bars, as they take up less space and are a significant step up from TV speakers.
What is the difference between Dolby Atmos and DTS:X?
A. Although they’re similar in many ways, there are a few key differences worth understanding. DTS:X supports higher bit rates and lets you manually adjust sound objects, meaning you can make dialogue louder. This is great for movies where you feel the music and sound effects tend to overpower the characters’ conversations.
Dolby Atmos is more common than DTS:X, with some streaming services and television channels supporting it. Luckily, Vizio’s newest sound bars support both, so you can try them and figure out which you prefer.
How large should your sound bar be?
A. Many prefer to buy sound bars roughly the same size as their TV. Still, this is mostly for aesthetic reasons. Compact sound bars can outperform larger models, depending on the number of internal speakers and overall build quality.
Best Vizio sound bars
This sound bar is an ideal way to enhance Dolby Atmos and DTS:X content. It includes a wireless subwoofer and two additional speakers. The auto-rotating speakers have colored LED lights, giving them a stylish look.

Vizio M-Series All-In-One Sound Bar
This budget model is compatible with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. The speakers and subwoofers are internal, making this an excellent pick for those looking to save space.

Pearson is one of the largest publishers of textbooks and they are looking to make money from second-hand books by turning them into non-fungible tokens (NFTS).This is a stark departure from their normal business operations, which involve selling new print or digital textbooks or using a subscription platform to get access to a bunch of digital editions.
The print editions of Pearson’s textbooks can be resold a copious number of times and the publisher doesn’t make any money on the secondary market, but they are hoping to change that. Andy Bird, the education publisher’s chief executive, said blockchain technology would allow it to place trackable codes into the digital editions of textbooks, letting them take a slice of the resale value.
Blockchain technology should allow Pearson to demand payment each time its academic guides change hands. Mr Bird said: “In the analogue world, a Pearson textbook was resold up to seven times. We would only participate in the first sale, and it created what is known as the secondary market. “The move to digital helps diminish the secondary market, and technology like blockchain and NFTs allows us to participate in every sale of that particular item as it goes through its life,” by tracking the material’s unique identifier on the ledger from “owner A to owner B to owner C.”
What are NFTS? They are basically an offshoot of cryptocurrencies that allow digital items to be given a unique code and can follow a clear path of ownership. Whereas typical textbooks or ebooks are merely licensed to the customer and not actually owned. The whole purpose of NFTS is to prevent duplication and track ownership. If Pearson can pull off the ability to resell digital textbooks as NFTS, this can change the entire digital publishing industry.

Nine Inch Nails will return to the road for the first time in four years with a string of headlining gigs scheduled for the spring and late summer
The band will kick things off with a quick three-show run: April 28 in Raleigh, North Carolina, April 30 in Atlanta and May 1 in Franklin, Tennessee (just outside of Nashville). A lengthier trek will begin with two shows at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado Sept. 2 and 3, and wrap Sept. 24 with a special hometown gig at the the Blossom Music Center in Cleveland that will also feature sets from Ministry and Nitzer Ebb.
Nine Inch Nails have enlisted the help of several artists to provide support during the rest of the trek. Boy Harsher will join for gigs in Raleigh, North Carolina and Franklin, Tennessee, while 100 Gecs will open at both shows in Philadelphia. Yves Tumor will then perform during a stretch of gigs, Sept. 2 through 15.
Tickets for Nine Inch Nails’ tour will go on sale Feb. 11 at 10 a.m. local time. A fan presale will start Feb. 8 at 10 a.m. local time. Full information is available on Nine Inch Nails’ website.
Nine Inch Nails were scheduled to tour in 2020 and 2021, but scrapped those gigs because of the pandemic. The group has stayed busy over the past couple years, releasing two albums in 2020, Ghosts V: Together and Ghosts VI: Locusts, and teaming up with noise-rock group Health for a new song, “Isn’t Everyone,” last May. In 2020, Nine Inch Nails were also inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Outside the band, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have kept characteristically busy with other projects as well, like producing Halsey’s most recent album, If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power. The duo also won their second Best Original Score Oscar in 2020 for their work on the Pixar movie Soul with Jon Batiste (they were nominated in the same category that year, too, for David Fincher’s Mank).

One balanced diet can make a complete difference in everyday life, as well as the preparation of some exotic foods, which if prepared in any way can even lead to death.

The reasons for such events range from a lack of correct cleaning of the items that belong on the plate, to substances present in the food produced by nature.
1. Elderberry
Although it can be considered as a medicinal plant, elderberry can carry some risks. This happens due to the lack of care with the skin, fruit and seeds, as they have lectin, a substance related to causing stomach problems.
2. Potato
Even though it can be delicious, the potato needs to be consumed before reaching the “ripe” point, as its leaf, stem and bud contain glycoalkaloids, a substance responsible for causing diarrhea, cramps and even death.
3. Cassava
Many people do not give up a cassava at mealtimes, however, it is necessary that those who will prepare it be careful and let it cook well, because in its raw form there is a substance that helps in the production of cyanide, a poison that can even kill an adult cow.
The ideal is to peel it and let it soak for 24 hours before cooking it.
4. African bullfrog
Popularly known for its great hunger, the African bullfrog can be a very typical dish in Africa, especially in Namibia. However, it cannot be prepared in any way.
This includes some details such as: it cannot be a very young species, as they are capable of releasing a venom that would end up causing kidney failure. | https://thegoaspotlight.com/2022/08/03/4-foods-that-cannot-be-prepared-in-any-way-understand/ | 2022-08-03T06:57:49Z | https://thegoaspotlight.com/2022/08/03/4-foods-that-cannot-be-prepared-in-any-way-understand/ | false | 1 |

Paladino campaign swing takes him to Nassau, Suffolk
Carl Paladino, the Republican nominee for governor, who has campaigned against party bosses and entrenched interests, rallied last night with the state's key GOP political machine, the Nassau Republican Committee, urging activists to get their friends and neighbors to the polls on Tuesday.
"Nassau County is the most important county in the state of New York for this election," Paladino told a crowd of hundreds of cheering Republicans in Levittown Hall in Hicksville.
Joseph Mondello, the Nassau GOP chairman who had originally supported Paladino's primary opponent Rick Lazio, said Paladino could win Nassau if Republicans turned out to vote in large numbers. Paladino aides say the Buffalo developer needs to win the suburbs and have an overwhelming margin upstate to have any hope of defeating his Democratic opponent, Andrew Cuomo, the state attorney general.
"We're going to work our tails off for him," said Mondello, who said he's supported Paladino since the Sept. 14 primary results, though no formal announcement of his endorsement was made.
Earlier in the day, Paladino met commuters in Hicksville and Ronkonkoma and shook hands at the Lindenhurst Diner on Montauk Highway - traditional face-to-face politicking he's done little of until this week.
Paladino said the support of Nassau Republicans - known for years as the state's most disciplined "political machine" - would not upend his campaign narrative of being an outsider who can fight entrenched interests.
"I am an outsider but I fought my way into the Republican endorsement," said Paladino, who petitioned his way onto the ballot. The cheering sign-waving crowd embraced Paladino's message of tax cuts, slashed spending and dismantling government agencies "piece by piece."
But Paladino, who is far behind in polls, shared the stage with establishment Republicans who in the past have kept their distance from him, such as comptroller candidate Harry Wilson. Last night, Paladino called Wilson "one hell of a man," adding "he actually has a background that qualifies him for the job."
Nassau Executive Edward Mangano, who has publicly supported Cuomo's proposal for capping property taxes, didn't mention Paladino in brief remarks in which he spoke of other candidates by name. He left the stage without shaking Paladino's hand. Asked by Newsday before his speech whether he supported Paladino, Mangano said: "I'm here to support all our GOP candidates." | https://www.newsday.com/long-island/nassau/paladino-campaign-swing-takes-him-to-nassau-suffolk-b97989 | 2022-08-03T07:09:19Z | https://www.newsday.com/long-island/nassau/paladino-campaign-swing-takes-him-to-nassau-suffolk-b97989 | false | 1 |
25,000 salute slain NYPD officer Rafael Ramos
In a powerful display of unity and shared grief, more than 25,000 police officers, dignitaries and mourners from around the nation gathered in Queens on Saturday for the funeral of Rafael Ramos, one of two New York City police officers slain by an assassin one week earlier.
Wearing their dress blue uniforms, NYPD cops of every rank filled the pews inside and lined the streets outside Christ Tabernacle Church on Myrtle Avenue in Glendale, where Ramos -- who was studying to become a pastor -- attended services and served as an usher.
Coming when the city seems divided between the NYPD and its supporters on one side, and critics accusing police of abuses on the other, the funeral served as an opportunity to heal that rift as New Yorkers came together in mourning, Police Commissioner William Bratton said.
Bratton, speaking of New York as a "city struggling to define itself," said: "If we can learn to see each other . . . to see that our cops are people like Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu, to see that our communities are filled with people just like them too. If we can learn to see each other, then when we see each other, we'll heal. We'll heal as a department. We'll heal as a city. We'll heal as a country."
Yet in a sign of the rifts that remain, hundreds of police officers watching on a video screen outside the church turned their backs when Mayor Bill de Blasio -- who has faced intense criticism from city police unions -- spoke inside.
Ramos, 40, and his partner, Officer Wenjian Liu, 32, were gunned down in their patrol car Dec. 20 in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn by Ismaaiyl Brinsley, 28, who targeted them because they were cops, police said.
Brinsley, who alluded to the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner in his social media posts vowing to put "wings on pigs" before shooting Ramos and Liu, committed suicide in a nearby subway station.
Tributes from the VP
Vice President Joe Biden comforted Ramos' wife, Maritza, and two sons, Justin and Jaden, calling the two fallen cops members of "the finest police department in the world."
Ramos "didn't just have a Bible in his locker; he lived it in his heart," Biden said. "He was a cop for all the right reasons.
"When an assassin's bullet targeted two officers, it targeted this city and it touched the soul of an entire nation," Biden said.
De Blasio said all 8.4 million New Yorkers were grieving their loss.
"Our hearts are aching," the mayor said. "New York City has lost a hero."
De Blasio recalled how Ramos loved playing basketball with his sons, blasting Spanish gospel music from his car, and serving his church.
"He spent the last 10 weeks of his life studying to be a chaplain, and he was taken from us on the day he was to graduate," the mayor said.
Bratton, leading the nation's largest police force through its first line-of-duty deaths since 2011, spoke of honoring Ramos and Liu by helping bridge the divide between police and the communities they serve. He told mourners the two cops "were killed for their color. They were killed because they were blue."
"He represented the blue thread that holds our city together when disorder might pull it apart," Bratton said of Ramos.
Mourners recalled Ramos' career path leading up to his joining the police academy at 37 -- an age when many cops are winding down their careers. Before becoming a police officer, Ramos was a carrier for DHL and later worked as a school safety officer for the NYPD's School Safety Division.
In that job, he was assigned to the Police Officer Rocco Laurie Intermediate School -- a Staten Island school named for a cop who, along with partner Officer Gregory Foster, was assassinated by members of the Black Liberation Army in 1972 while walking their beat in Manhattan.
Ramos and Liu, per NYPD tradition, were both posthumously promoted to the rank of first-grade detective. Bratton said he was also appointing Ramos honorary department chaplain of his precinct, the 84th in Brooklyn.
Ramos, a native New Yorker of Puerto Rican descent, and Liu, a Chinese-American, were potent symbols of New York's diversity, said Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, who commended the NYPD for protecting "the right of freedom of speech, even though they were the targets of false and abusive chants and tirades" in recent weeks.
"At the end of the day, we are one," Cuomo said. "One people, one state, one community, one family. Somos uno ['We are one' in Spanish]."
Tears and 'Taps'
After the service, a group of NYPD pallbearers carried Ramos' coffin out of the church as row after row of cops -- some with tears in their eyes -- stood at attention and saluted.
"Taps" and "America the Beautiful" were played as the coffin, draped in a blue, white and green NYPD flag, passed thousands of mourners in a motorcade to Cypress Hills Cemetery in Brooklyn. A police official then handed the folded flag to Ramos' wife, who, flanked by her two sons, held it to her chest.
The poignant scene was witnessed by the many current and former public officials in attendance, from Rep. Peter King (R-Seaford) to former Mayor Rudy Giuliani, as well as police delegations from dozens of municipalities across the country, including Pittsburgh, St. Paul, Minnesota, Chicago, and Nassau and Suffolk counties.
Everyday New Yorkers like Laura Cron, who, standing outside the church with her 8-year-old daughter Isabella Miceli, also were moved by the day's tributes.
"I brought my daughter so she can understand what a tragedy this really is," said Cron, 36, of Ridgewood, Queens. "Cops protect us every day."
The deaths of Ramos and Liu, Cron hopes, could lead to better discourse about race and the police.
"I hope that that's the one thing that comes out of this," she said. "Everyone deserves respect." | https://www.newsday.com/news/new-york/rafael-ramos-funeral-draws-thousands-to-honor-slain-nypd-officer-m96352 | 2022-08-03T07:18:09Z | https://www.newsday.com/news/new-york/rafael-ramos-funeral-draws-thousands-to-honor-slain-nypd-officer-m96352 | false | 1 |

Shane Lowry appeals to Dublin Airport to help find his lost golf clubs
Shane Lowry has taken to social media in an attempt to be reunited with his lost golf clubs.
The 2019 Open Championship winner appealed to Dublin Airport on Twitter to help locate his missing clubs and suitcase.
The golfer is competing at the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, North Carolina, this week.
“Can you help find my missing golf clubs and suitcase @DublinAirport?" he said.
Just over an hour later, the Offaly native issued an update and thanked Dublin Airport who confirmed that his bags were in Chicago's O'Hare International Airport and appealed to United Airlines and Aer Lingus to help get them to him in Greensboro.
“Update…Thanks to the lads at @DublinAirport who confirmed my bags are in Chicago. @AerLingus @fly2ohare @united can you help get them to me in Greensboro?” he said.

Lowry is the latest golfer to have his clubs go missing at Dublin Airport.
The responsibility for lost luggage lies with individual airlines, not Dublin Airport operator, DAA.
Last month, Leona Maguire issued a similar plea online when her golf clubs went missing after she flew from Dublin to Geneva in Switzerland for the Amundi Evian Championship.
In a post on Twitter, the 27-year-old originally tweeted that the airline had “no idea where it is”.
“Really need help from someone @DublinAirport or DAA. Flew from Dublin to Geneva yesterday direct and somehow my golf bag has gone missing between check-in and take-off. @FlySWISS & @swissportNews have no idea where it is,” she said.
“Need it urgently for @EvianChamp major this week. Airtags are no help because Swiss Airlines can’t locate the bag in their system.”
But within an hour of the post appearing, a Twitter user replied that his sister, who is believed to work at Dublin Airport, had found the missing bag.
The sports star, ranked 19th in the world, replied: "Just spoke to a legend called Claire? Found the bag."
Maguire's management said her sister, former professional golfer Lisa Maguire, came to the rescue and drove a six-hour round trip to Zurich to collect the clubs.

Ariel Castro pleads guilty to imprisoning Ohio women
CLEVELAND -- The man who imprisoned three women in his home, subjecting them to a decade of rapes and beatings, pleaded guilty yesterday to 937 counts in a deal to avoid the death penalty.
In exchange for his plea, prosecutors recommended Ariel Castro be sentenced to life without parole plus 1,000 years.
Castro, 53, said he understood that he would never get out of prison, saying he expected he was "going to get the book thrown at me." Castro told the judge he was addicted to pornography, had a "sexual problem" and had been a sexual abuse victim himself long ago.
He was far more interactive than in previous court appearances when he mostly kept his head down and eyes closed. He answered the judge's questions in a clear, intelligible voice.
"My addiction to pornography and my sexual problem has really taken a toll on my mind," he said. He later said he had been a sexual abuse victim as a child, but the judge cut him off.
Near the end of the hearing, the judge accepted the pleas and declared Castro guilty. Sentencing was set for Thursday.
The deal comes more than a month after a statement issued on behalf of the women said they were "hopeful for a just and prompt resolution." Castro had been scheduled for trial Aug. 5. The indictment included two counts of aggravated murder related to accusations that he punched and starved one woman until she miscarried. The former school bus driver also was charged with hundreds of counts of kidnapping and rape, plus assault and other counts.
Assistant Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Blaise Thomas said he wants to make sure Castro will never see the girl he fathered with one of his victims.
Chief Prosecutor Tim McGinty also says the county will use more than $20,000 seized from Castro to tear down his house. McGinty said the plan is to also tear down two abandoned houses next door and acquire a vacant lot for a park.
The three women -- Amanda Berry, Gina Dejesus and Michelle Knight -- disappeared separately between 2002 and 2004, when they were 14, 16 and 20 years old. Each said they had accepted a ride from Castro.
They escaped Castro's house May 6 when one of them kicked out part of a door and called to neighbors for help. Castro was arrested within hours and has remained behind bars.
Since their rescue, the women have sought to stay out of sight and have appealed for privacy. | https://www.newsday.com/news/nation/ariel-castro-pleads-guilty-to-imprisoning-ohio-women-p38012 | 2022-08-03T07:22:53Z | https://www.newsday.com/news/nation/ariel-castro-pleads-guilty-to-imprisoning-ohio-women-p38012 | false | 1 |
Amar'e got free-agent ball rolling
OAKLAND -- When someone asked Mike D'Antoni recently if he ever felt his team was overmatched during his first three seasons as Knicks coach, he said nothing at first. Then he said everything with a smile that implied, "Are you kidding me? Of course."
He did acknowledge that there had been times early on when he had that overwhelmed feeling. "I think a lot of coaches feel that way. You start the season out, then reality hits you," he said.
Quickly, he added, "But when Amar'e got here we were not overmatched."
As for that bewilderment, "Last year, I did not feel that way. Ever."
Obviously, the Knicks are deeper, stronger and more confident than they were two or three years ago. All of that traces back to Amar'e Stoudemire. No matter how many players they add and how much success they have this season or in the next few years, it still will all go back to Stoudemire, a sturdy cornerstone.
That is a pertinent item every day for the Knicks, but it was especially so Wednesday night with their road game against the Warriors. The fact that Tyson Chandler was wearing a Knicks uniform, and not a white Golden State jersey, had everything to do with Stoudemire having been the first in the new wave of players who want to be Knicks.
Golden State was the other finalist in the bidding to sign Chandler, the defensively powerful center who became a free agent after helping the Mavericks to the NBA championship last season. The Warriors had an inside track, too, because he lives near new Golden State coach Mark Jackson in the offseason and the two have developed a close relationship.
But Chandler said again Wednesday morning that the opportunity to play in New York City pushed him to the Knicks. "And," he added, "to be able to play alongside Melo and Amar'e was just something I couldn't pass up."
Although he mentioned Carmelo Anthony and Stoudemire in random order, he knows the chronological order, and who ultimately will be remembered as the trail blazer.
"Amar'e definitely started it," Chandler said. "I can honestly say if this was three years ago, before he arrived, I don't know that I would have been so willing to run over here."
The franchise recognizes Stoudemire's importance, making sure he was announced a dramatic last at the open scrimmage/pep rally recently.
He was the first to take the plunge, when the Garden wasn't on the top of every free agent's go-to list. "Amar'e is that type of guy," Chandler said. "Amar'e is the type of guy who will take on the challenge. He doesn't mind the pressure. He doesn't mind putting the pressure on his shoulders, on his back. He has character and that's what makes him special in this league." | https://www.newsday.com/sports/basketball/knicks/amar-e-stoudemire-got-free-agent-ball-rolling-n23766 | 2022-08-03T07:26:41Z | https://www.newsday.com/sports/basketball/knicks/amar-e-stoudemire-got-free-agent-ball-rolling-n23766 | false | 1 |
Mets fans across LI show team spirit with Halloween costumes
Saturday night, Noah Syndergaard and Jacob deGrom will be at Citi Field for Game 4 of the World Series.
But don't be surprised if the Mets pitchers also show up at your neighbor's Halloween party or at your doorstep asking for candy.
As the team attempts an epic comeback against Kansas City, Mets fans of all ages across Long Island are tapping their team spirit to come up with baseball-themed costumes.
Chad and Mariana Harris of Dix Hills attended a Halloween party last week dressed as Syndergaard and deGrom, known for their flowing locks.
Mariana, 33, sported a shoulder-length brown wig, while Chad, 35, donned a blond one.
They were greeted with cheers at the party. "Everyone was really excited," Mariana said.
In the days leading up to Halloween, legions of fans have been sharing photos of Mets costumes on Instagram and Twitter, with many featuring inventive ways to customize the outfits, such as Mr. Met heads fashioned out of piñatas and papier-mâché.
Seven-year-old Jake Mormino of Farmingdale settled on Syndergaard for his Halloween hero costume.
Jake said he likes the Mets "because of the history and the fans." He doesn't have a favorite player, so he and his mother picked who they thought would be the most recognizable.
"We had the jersey," said Jackie Mormino, 31. "With the Thor hammer and the wig, we thought people would know it's Noah."
Carolina Addeo, 44, of Huntington Station, helped her son, Anthony, 8, put together a deGrom costume. Assembly was simple: a wig from Party City and a Mets jersey.
"We were thinking about what to be and he said, 'Oh, can I be deGrom because he has really cool hair?' " Addeo said.
Anthony said he wanted to dress up because he likes the Mets, though he said he's more excited for Saturday night's game than trick-or-treating. He intends to wear his costume for both.
Four-year-old Kevin Sutch of East Northport didn't need a wig for his costume of choice -- first baseman Lucas Duda. His mother, Catherine, 33, bought him a T-shirt, a Mets patch off eBay and a baseball uniform from Amazon.com.
The Harrises shelled out roughly $100 for their Halloween getups, but the nice part about a Mets costume is that it doesn't have to be just for Halloween.
"You get to keep the hat and shirt," Mariana said. "It's not like some nasty costume you only get to wear once." | https://www.newsday.com/long-island/mets-fans-across-li-show-team-spirit-with-halloween-costumes-t48712 | 2022-08-03T07:27:54Z | https://www.newsday.com/long-island/mets-fans-across-li-show-team-spirit-with-halloween-costumes-t48712 | true | 1 |
HAMBURG, Germany, Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Vela Diagnostics has announced its appointment by the National Public Health Laboratory of Kenya (NPHL) as their supplier for SARS-CoV-2 genotyping tests, with funding from The Global Fund.
The NPHL operates under Kenya's Ministry of Health and plays an important role in the nation's healthcare by providing reference testing for key diseases and in response to disease outbreaks. It is currently embarking on a program to trace and curb spread of COVID-19 in Kenya, an effort funded by The Global Fund.
The Global Fund is an international financing and partnership organization that aims to attract, leverage and invest additional resources for prevention, treatment and care programs of diseases such as AIDS, TB and malaria.
Vela Diagnostics has an extensive infectious diseases portfolio, with solutions to support COVID-19 testing. These include the ViroKey® SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Test v2.0, a test for the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infections, and the ViroKey SARS-CoV-2 ID RT-PCR Test, which quickly identifies specific strains and potential variants of concern.
Especially relevant to the Kenyan NPHL's surveillance efforts is the ViroKey SQ FLEX SARS-CoV-2 Genotyping Assay, a next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based test for detecting genomic mutations of the SARS-CoV-2 RNA genome from nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal swabs. The accompanying reporter software automatically calls out mutations and classifies them by lineage, providing critical insights to the molecular epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 infections.
Dr Leonard Kingwara, Head of the Genomics and Molecular Surveillance Laboratory Unit in Kenya, attests to the efficiency of Vela Diagnostics' SARS-CoV-2 genotyping assay in results generation, as well as its utility for expanding the scope of pathogen public health surveillance. "Vela Diagnostics' genotyping assay ensures timely results through automation and reduction of hands-on procedures. This has facilitated timely result releases for various research projects," says Dr Kingwara.
"We are very excited to be appointed as the primary supplier for genotyping kits for the Kenyan NPHL," says Dr Andreas Goertz, Managing Director of Vela Diagnostics EMEA. "This grants us an invaluable opportunity to expand our presence in Africa, including South Africa where our HIV genotyping assay is currently undergoing registration for sales in the country."
The Sentosa® SQ HIV-1 Genotyping Kit is a US FDA De Novo designated NGS assay for detecting HIV-1 drug resistance mutations (DRMs). "Our HIV-1 genotyping solution is the only commercially available NGS solution authorized by the FDA for sale in the US, and can detect down to 5% mutation frequency; more sensitive than traditional Sanger sequencing-based platforms. It also detects for mutations in the three most common drug target regions in one test, providing comprehensive mutation profiles for clinicians to decide on the optimal antiretroviral therapy to prescribe," says Rachel Yap, Global Product Manager for Vela Diagnostics.
"We believe our HIV-1 genotyping assay can act as a key tool in global efforts to curb the HIV pandemic and help achieve the goal of '90-90-90'," says Sam Dajani, CEO and Chairman of the Board for Vela Diagnostics, referring to the "90-90-90" treatment target originally created by the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS). It calls for 90% of HIV-infected individuals to be diagnosed by 2030, 90% of whom will be on antiretroviral therapy and 90% of whom will have achieved sustained virologic suppression.

After three meteor showers lit up the sky across eastern Australia last weekend, the Perseid meteor shower will peak 13 August, giving stargazers another opportunity to photograph the fireballs as they blaze across the sky.
But capturing a meteorite shower is not as easy as just taking out your iPhone and pressing the button.
The light show started on 28 July with the Piscis Austrinids and was followed by the Southern Delta Aquariids and the Alpha Capricornids which peaked on Saturday 30 July.
The next and most spectacular display will be the Perseid meteor shower, which peaks on 13 August.
The Astronomical Society of Victoria meteorite expert, Kon Stoitsis, said the best place to see the shower was outside of cities.
But capturing them is difficult. The photographer Jay Town said if you only have a phone it would be best to put it away and watch.
“You need a camera, a wide-angle lens and a tripod,” Town said. “You have to have all of those three, otherwise it won’t work.”
Getting a good shot can be tricky, but there are a few steps you can follow.
The first is using a wide-open lens to give you the biggest chance of capturing the shower. You also need to set up a long exposure, Town said.
“Start with a 20-second exposure,” he said. “Once you get over 30 seconds you’ll get movement in the normal stars and you don’t want that – you’ll have lines everywhere. You want the stars to be sharp and the meteorites to look like streams of light.”
A tripod will stop the camera from shaking, but when working with such high exposure, even pressing the bottom of the camera can make the image blurry, Town said.
“The easiest way around it is to use a shutter release which will mean you then don’t have to touch the camera, you could do it through your phone if you have an app on your phone, or you can have a physical release with a cable.
“Or hold your hand over the lens, push the button, and take it away – any movement will be over by the time you move your hand.”
The most important thing, he said, was “to take lots of lots of pictures”.
“And just hope,” he said. | https://www.theguardian.com/science/2022/aug/03/how-to-photograph-a-meteor-shower-tonight-what-time-where-australia-perseid-showers | 2022-08-03T07:32:55Z | https://www.theguardian.com/science/2022/aug/03/how-to-photograph-a-meteor-shower-tonight-what-time-where-australia-perseid-showers | false | 5 |
Preparations are ongoing for Stoke City ahead of their Championship clash with Blackpool at the bet365 Stadium, this weekend.
There are a few weeks left of the transfer window as Michael O'Neill puts the finishing touches to his summer rebuild. Stoke have already brought in seven new signings and sanctioned a whole wave of exits.
O'Neill still wants to bring in at least another couple - and is targeting players to really improve the starting XI rather than just add to the squad. There is a pursuit of Manchester City young star Liam Delap and the boss also wants to welcome a centre-back into the squad.
Ahead of this weekend, Stoke have a ticket promotion in place and are hoping to welcome a bumper crowd to the bet365 Stadium, which along with the training ground has undergone a £6m renovation over the past couple of months.
We will bring you all the latest Stoke City news, gossip and reaction throughout the day. We would also like to hear from you, so please send us your views via our Stoke City Facebook and Twitter accounts or join the Stoke news and gossip group.

Blackpool dealt several injury blows ahead of Stoke City clash
Michael Appleton's Blackpool squad have suffered a number of injuries ahead of their Championship clash against Stoke City (3pm).
The Seasiders currently have nine players out injured in their trip to the bet365 Stadium this Saturday. While some injuries have been carried from pre-season, the list seem to have gotten long with three more names added this past week.
Keshi Anderson was the latest player to have picked up an injury.
Stand sponsorship
The east stand at the bet365 Stadium will be known as the Tile Mountain Stand again this season.
Stoke City to 'consider and consult' about major change at bet365 Stadium
Stoke City will consult with supporters and review the possibility of introducing standing sections at the bet365 Stadium for the first time.
It was 25 years ago this summer that Stoke moved away from the Victoria Ground into their purpose build new home, largely because of the demand in the Taylor Report to have an all-seater venue. But there has now been a change in legislation to allow ‘safe standing’ following a successful pilot scheme.
Fans will have the option to stand at Championship clubs including Queens Park Rangers and Cardiff this season and Stoke – who will host their first home game of the campaign this Saturday against Blackpool – have not ruled out following in their wake at some point down the line.
Stoke City boss explains thinking behind letting Will Forrester join Port Vale
Michael O'Neill admits Will Forrester's Stoke City career highlights the challenges facing youth players trying to break into the senior side.
Centre-back Forrester had been with Stoke from the age of five and had long been picked out as a potential first teamer. His debut might have come sooner than the spring of 2021 but for injury - and it was injuries which played a large part in what happened next.
Instead of kicking on from scoring in a final day win at Bournemouth, Forrester was laid low with near-successive ankle injuries which also derailed a loan spell at Mansfield Town. He only made 10 appearances last term, including three for Stoke in April, and was ready to move away to get regular action rather than sign a longer deal.
Major surge for Lionesses' homecoming tickets at Stoke City
More than 20,000 tickets have been sold already for England women's team's match at Stoke City next month.
England will take on Luxembourg in their final 2023 World Cup qualifier and what will be their first match on home soil since being crowned European champions at Wembley on Sunday. There has been a surge in demand since the weekend and remaining tickets will be available in a new sales window to be announced later this month.
The team set a new record for highest crowd for a European Championships game - men or women - when 87,192 saw them beat Germany 2-1 after extra-time at Wembley.
This weekend's opponents
Blackpool right back Callum Connolly and right winger Josh Bowler have been named in the WhoScored Championship team of the week from the opening weekend.
Dwight Gayle looking for Alan Shearer's 'prime real estate' to fix Stoke City's elusive problem
An in-depth piece of analysis from Mark Taylor about why Stoke signed Dwight Gayle and what they'll hope he can bring.
Doug Taylor makes his debut
Doug Taylor came off the bench in a 4-0 win for Walsall over Hartlepool.
It was interesting to listen to Michael O'Neill's talking about the loan process.
He said: "Loans are very, very hit and miss when you send young players out. As a good example we had two young players, Eddy Jones and Connor Taylor, last year. Eddy went to Hartlepool and it wasn't a particularly successful loan and you lose control of the player in that period as well. Connor went to Bristol Rovers and in the first three games he couldn't even make the match day squad, he wasn't in the 18. He got his head down and he trained, speaking to Joey Barton about, then when he got in the team he stayed in his team. Now he's come back to us and he's a totally different player to the one who left us 12 months ago.
"So there's no set pathway for them. I would be very wary with Tezgel and Griffiths because of the types of player they are. You would like to think they could come through and be in your first team with the pathway you bridge internally. It's bridging the gap between under-23s football - which isn't under-23 football, that's just a label, it's essentially under-19s football really - and the Championship. It is a tough league to come in as a young player and that's always a challenge.
"I think we've done fairly well with that. Not every player will take that step through and I think the ones who go on loan and it doesn't work it makes it more difficult when they come back to the club. Harry (Souttar) Is a perfect example of a player that had to go out on loan - he spent two years away at Ross County and Fleetwood - while Nathan Collins didn't need a loan. He came through and played and after 20 game we were able to sell him for a considerable amount of money.
"So no set pathway and the most important thing is that they are around the first team and from that we can assess what's the next step for them."
Will Goodwin at the double
Will Goodwin, on loan at Torquay from Stoke, scored twice in their final friendly of pre-season, a 3-1 win at Truro City.
They start their National League season next weekend with a home game against Oldham Athletic.
Stoke's links to the Lionesses
Firefighter Rachel Unitt knows all about the importance of England's incredible Women's Euro triumph - having made over 100 appearances for the Lionesses. Now Rachel, who is based in Hanley, hopes the rise of the women's team will see more girls get into the sport.
And Rachel has an incredible footballing CV having turned out for Wolverhampton Wanderers, Everton, Fulham, the New Jersey Wildcats in the US, Birmingham City, Nottingham County and the London Bees. Her ability at club-level saw the talented left-back make 102 appearances for England.
She also featured for the Lionesses in five major tournaments – three European Championships and two World Cups - and was crowned England’s International Player of the Year in 2004. Rachel isn't the only talented footballer in the ranks of Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service.
The services' Assistant Chief Fire Officer, Michelle Hickmott, also turned out as a left-back for England along with playing for Birmingham City, Fulham, Coventry and Charlton between 2003 and 2011. She then took on a managerial role with Birmingham Football Association.
Renovation ongoing at Delilah's Bar
A statement from Stoke.
Stoke City wishes to remind supporters that Delilah’s Bar will not be open for the Potters’ first home match of the season.
Michael O’Neill’s side welcome Blackpool to the bet365 Stadium on Saturday (kick-off 3pm) looking to record their first win of the campaign.
Owing to work continuing to take place to transform Delilah’s into a contemporary sports bar, the venue remains closed.
The bar should be ready by late September and consulation is continuing about a new name.
Young defender 'deserves place' in Stoke City starting XI says boss
Michael O'Neill says Connor Taylor's sharp rise into the Stoke City starting XI is on merit and testament to the player himself.
Boyhood Stoke fan Taylor, aged 20, has had to take the long way around to make his full debut for the club. He was originally on Port Vale's books as a kid but being released by them has proved his making, picked up by Stafford Rangers then taking his chance on trial at Stoke. Spells on loan at Newcastle Town, Chester and, last season, Bristol Rovers have propelled his development.
He was brought back for pre-season to stake his claim under O'Neill and has since earned a new long-term contract and a shirt in the starting XI for the opening day in the Championship. Taylor was a bright spot in a defeat at Millwall and is now tasked with trying to cement his place on the right of the back three.
Happy birthday Toddy Orlygsson
Feared by the Vale, loved by the Stoke, born on this day in 1966.
Orlygsson was the first player from Iceland to join Stoke City – via Nottingham Forest, where he had run out of contract following relegation from the Premier League – and, in time he would ultimately attract his cousin, Larus Sigurdsson, to the club … which in turn brought international boss Gudjon Thordarsson on a scouting mission … which in turn led to a takeover of the club.
Stoke target two key signings to end transfer window with a bang
Michael O'Neill is looking to add 'two or three' players who will lift Stoke City's starting XI as he remained coy on links with Liam Delap.
Stoke, who started the season with a 2-0 defeat at Millwall, are believed to be trying to seal a loan move for 19-year-old Delap, Manchester City's England youth striker and son of first team coach and club hero Rory.
The hunt for a new centre-back on loan is also on, particularly after Ben Wilmot limped off in the closing stages with a suspected - but hopefully minor - groin injury.
The transfer window is open until September 1 and Stoke may have to be patient as Premier League clubs assess the best options for their brightest prospects, particularly as squads are managed through long haul pre-season schedules.
Midfielder to exit - with replacement lined up
Stoke have sanctioned an exit for young Senegal midfielder Ibrahima Sy, the 19-year-old who has made his breakthrough into the under-23s.
Sy will make a permanent departure, bound for a club in the Belgian top flight.
Stoke are believed to have lined up a replacement to join Kevin Russell's under-21s squad.
They have already signed late teens this summer including Kahrel Reddin, Dara McGuinness and Sonny Singh.
Stoke City tie up new contract for midfielder as John Coates and Michael O'Neill explain vision
Congratulations to Jack Griffiths on signing his first pro deal.
Interesting to listen to Michael O'Neill and John Coates talk about the club's vision to go from under-16s to first team. | https://www.stokesentinel.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/potters-news-and-transfers-live-7410089 | 2022-08-03T07:33:26Z | https://www.stokesentinel.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/potters-news-and-transfers-live-7410089 | false | 2 |

Virginia recalls the simple joys of childhood, the demanding chores of a household without furnace or running water, the daunting yet everyday tasks of raising and preserving food, laundry and home remedies.

Struggling Mark Sanchez knows he must step up
Mark Sanchez repeatedly has told us this is his team. Well now, more than ever, he must prove it.
The margin for error has slimmed considerably for the fourth-year quarterback now that the Jets' defense is no longer what it used to be. The loss of Darrelle Revis to a season-ending ACL injury will reveal the true depth and character of Rex Ryan's roster.
And, most of all, Sanchez.
Some considered the Jets' playoff chances slim to none after their 0-4 preseason. But they are in first place (thanks to a tiebreaker with Buffalo) in the AFC East at 2-1 and surprisingly ahead of perennial favorite New England. But to stay atop the division, the quarterback must prove his inconsistency will not hinder them.
Sanchez is dead-last in completion percentage (50.5) among starters, meaning rookies Robert Griffin III (67.4), Russell Wilson (57.3), Brandon Weeden (56.5) Andrew Luck (53.3) and Ryan Tannehill (52.9) have fared better.
Of course, Sanchez's receivers have done him no favors. Aside from their Week 1 blowout of the Bills, the wideouts consistently have had trouble getting open and, worse, holding onto the ball. Sanchez didn't complete a pass to a wide receiver in the second or third quarter in the 27-10 loss in Pittsburgh, and although Santonio Holmes (147 yards, nine catches) had a breakout day in Miami, no other Jets wideout had more than two receptions. And then there are the egregious drops, such as Stephen Hill's on what would have been an easy touchdown against Miami.
After converting 10 of 14 third downs (71.4 percent) in Week 1, the Jets were 10-for-29 (34.5 percent) against Pittsburgh (4 of 12) and Miami (6 of 17).
So the offense must do better. And so must Sanchez. By no means should the responsibility fall on the shoulders of the quarterback alone. But it will, just by virtue of the position.
Sanchez said Monday his play has to improve, citing his first-quarter interception in Miami that led to a 7-0 hole for the Jets.
"That ball shouldn't have left my hand," Sanchez said on an afternoon radio spot. "It was a busted route and you can't reward the wrong route and compound a negative with a negative. And that's something coach [Tony] Sparano has talked to me about, that's something I know better. So that decision can't be made.
"I've just got to hold myself to a higher standard. I need to play well for us to win."
But for all his struggles the past two games, Sanchez came through when it counted against the Dolphins, hitting Holmes for a 38-yard completion in overtime to set up Nick Folk's winning field goal.
Some may use Sanchez's passer ratings this season -- 123.4, 66.6, 58.2 -- as proof he's just an average quarterback, but his position coach, Matt Cavanaugh, focuses on a different stat: wins.
"If you want to get really analytical, you can say, 'Well, if he's completing more balls, you win more games.' Of course," Cavanaugh said last week, adding that he reminds Sanchez of what's ultimately important.
"Just win, Mark, just find a way to win and everybody will recognize you as a great quarterback.' Because there have been a lot of great quarterbacks who didn't complete 70 percent of their passes but won championships, and that's what this game's about.'' | https://www.newsday.com/news/struggling-mark-sanchez-knows-he-must-step-up-l32635 | 2022-08-03T07:43:19Z | https://www.newsday.com/news/struggling-mark-sanchez-knows-he-must-step-up-l32635 | true | 1 |
Makkah: The General Presidency of the Two Holy Mosques in Makkah and Madinah Wednesday resumed access to Hateem and kissing of Hajre Aswad in Kaaba that was restricted since February 2020 following the outbreak of Coronavirus Pandemic.
Hateem, also known as Hijr-Ismail, is a low wall originally part of the Kaaba. It is a semi-circular wall opposite, but not connected to, the north-west wall of the Kaaba. The area of Hateem is 1.32 metres (4 ft 4 in) in height and 0.90 metres (2 ft 11 in) in width. It is composed of white marble.
At one time the space lying between the hatīm and the Kaaba belonged to the Kaaba itself. For this reason it is not entered during the Tawaf. Pilgrims do not walk in the area between this wall and the Kaaba.
Hajr e Aswad, the Black Stone, is a rock set into the eastern corner of the Kaaba, located in the center of the Grand Mosque in Makkah. It is revered by Muslims as an Islamic relic which, according to Muslim tradition, dates back to the time of Adam and Eve.
According to the tradition, the Hajar al-Aswad was brought from Jannah and presented to Prophet Ibrahim to be placed on the corner of the Kaaba.
The Hajar al-Aswad was originally a complete stone but due to various historical incidents now consists of eight pieces of varying sizes affixed to a large stone and encased in a silver frame.
Access to Hateem and kissing of Hajr e al Aswad was restricted following the outbreak of the Pandemic in February 2020 when even Umrah was banned for foreign travellers and was reserved only for few. The original situation has however now been restored from Tuesday August 02, 2022.
“Under the guidance of the General President Sheikh Abdul Rahman Sudais and in the interest of facilitating the pilgrims , the Presidency has developed a plan for organizing prayer at Hajr Ismael and kissing the Black Stone in a safe, spiritual and healthy atmosphere”, an official statement released late in the night Tuesday said.
Meanwhile, videos and images of pilgrims rushing to kiss Hajr e Aswad and offer prayers inside the Hateem area of the Mataf are being widely shared on twitter and other social media platforms. Watch:

Saudi Arabia has meanwhile started receiving from 1st Muharram 1444 AH foreign and domestic Umrah pilgrims for the post Hajj season.
The Haj and Umrah Ministry, Saudi Arabia had earlier begun issuing Umrah visa for foreign pilgrims from July 14, 2022 and Umrah permit to domestic worshippers from July 21, 2022.

Third Epson Digital Label Press Provides A-Flex Label with Flexibility and Increased Efficiency
LOS ALAMITOS, Calif., Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Epson today announced A-Flex Label Corporation has installed the Epson SurePress® L-6534VW UV digital label press in its Willowbrook, Ill. facility. A-Flex Label, owned and operated by The Labeltape Group in Caledonia, Mich., is using the SurePress UV press for producing labels for larger volume industrial, medical and cosmetic/personal care markets.
"We've continued to see rapid growth in digital printing as it supports and complements traditional flexography," said Tom Carroll, president, A-Flex Label. "We needed to invest in technology that was able to run at higher speeds and deliver higher capabilities. Based on our extensive work and trust in Epson's SurePress water-based resin ink digital label presses, we decided the SurePress L-6534VW UV press was the right choice for us, and we haven't been disappointed."
The SurePress L-6534VW is designed to be reliable and easy to use, enabling high-speed printing ideal for producing labels and packaging with outstanding durability. The compact design integrates all the functions required for label production, including a Corona Treater, White ink, Digital Varnish, and an additional UV curing unit.
"We are using the Epson UV press for a higher volume of labels that have a lot of versioning to them – runs that we would have traditionally run on flexo because of the higher volume, but now can run digitally with the L-6534VW and not require printing plates. This has allowed us to modify copy on the fly," continued Carroll.
Carroll notes they trust the quality and reliability they've come to expect from Epson. "The print quality is pretty amazing," said Carroll. "The SurePress has taken quality to an even higher level. It looks and feels almost like offset, lithography print quality."
"The SurePress L-6534VW was designed for shops like A-Flex that are looking to move work away from flexo machines and onto digital presses, which can provide more flexibility with the ability to print high-quality labels in one pass without the use of plates," said Mike Pruitt, senior product manager, Epson America, Inc.
As a small/mid-size printer, A-Flex relies on comprehensive service and support. This was critical to their decision since Epson is able support them on-site. "Epson has done an excellent job for many years servicing our SurePress digital label presses. As we evaluated other UV technologies, we ultimately went with Epson because they have both the technology solutions we need and the service and support we know we can rely on," said Carroll.
"Overall, we're so impressed with how well thought out this machine is," concluded Carroll. "It's an incredibly sophisticated piece of equipment that prevents mistakes from being made and it is a great addition to augment production capabilities."
The SurePress L-6534VW is available with Digital Varnish or Orange Ink. The print heads, inks, LED pinning and curing lamp units, media feeding, and control system are all developed, serviced and manufactured by Epson.

The assailants dragged the lawyer Malla Reddy out of his Toyota Innvoa car and dragged him to bushed and stabbed him in Mulugu district of Telangana.
Hyderabad: In a horrific incident reported from Mulugu district of Telangana, an advocate practicing in Warangal was stabbed to death after he was dragged out of his car when he was on his way to home. The incident took place on Monday at 6.30 pm.
The deceased has been identified as Malla Reddy. The murder took place when Reddy was going home in Hanamkonda in his Toyota Innova car.
Following the incident, Advocates Association of Telangana called a general body meeting on Tuesday to discuss the matter. Advocates in other courts of the state called for abstaining from work, according to a report in Indian Express.

Sangram Singh G Patil, Superintendent of Police, Mulugu district, said a probe has been initiated into the incident and the case is being investigated from all possible leads.
He said it is too early to ascertain the for the murder. The victim was into mining business and also owned a petrol pump. Police said there were at least 10 cases against him in the district. All the cases against Mulugu related to land disputes. The SP said even his driver did not know much as Malla was dragged into the bushes.
The SP further added that there was no threat to the life of Malla Reddy. The attackers reportedly came in a white car presumably a Swift Dzire.

Govt agrees to give financial assistance for solar agri pumps up to 15 HP under PM-KUSUM: Khuba
Under the B component, individual farmers will be supported to install standalone solar agriculture pumps of capacity up to 7.5 Horse Power (HP) for replacement of existing diesel agriculture pumps/irrigation systems in off-grid areas, where grid supply is not available.
Under the B component, individual farmers will be supported to install standalone solar agriculture pumps of capacity up to 7.5 Horse Power (HP) for replacement of existing diesel agriculture pumps/irrigation systems in off-grid areas, where grid supply is not available.
Pumps of capacity higher than 7.5 HP can also be installed, however, the financial support will be limited to 7.5 HP capacity.
"The finance ministry has agreed to allow CFA for solar pumps up to 15 HP capacity in the north-eastern and Himalayan states considering their topography, and also for community farming in high water table areas with the restriction that the total number of pumps of higher capacity will not be more than 10 per cent of the total allocation," Minister of State for New and Renewable Energy Bhagwanth Khuba said in a reply to the Rajya Sabha.
IndianOil's tender for a spot liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargo received no bids recently, according to people familiar with the matter. Even LNG contracted under long-term deals is no longer secure as Russia's Gazprom has suspended supplies to GAIL, they said.
According to the statement the exchange will initially offer trading in Term Ahead Market, Green Term Ahead Market, and Renewable Energy Certificates. It will steadily increase its product portfolio and provide a wide range of contracts to address the demand of different segments of the electricity market. | https://energy.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/renewable/govt-agrees-to-give-financial-assistance-for-solar-agri-pumps-up-to-15-hp-under-pm-kusum-khuba/93311538 | 2022-08-03T08:04:48Z | https://energy.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/renewable/govt-agrees-to-give-financial-assistance-for-solar-agri-pumps-up-to-15-hp-under-pm-kusum-khuba/93311538 | false | 1 |

Police boss postpones first post-pandemic public meeting - due to Covid
- Credit: Sonya Duncan
Norfolk’s police and crime commissioner has been forced to postpone his first time in-public meeting since the pandemic - because he has Covid.
Giles Orpen-Smellie had been due to host the meeting on August 3 where people could question the chief constable Paul Sanford and other senior police officers.
But following a positive test for Covid, he has made the decision to self-isolate at home and a new date will be announced for the accountability meeting.
People who had submitted questions and were due to attend to hear the answer will be offered the opportunity to have their issues held over until the future meeting or to receive written responses.
The meetings have previously taken place using a virtual format as a precautionary step against Covid.
Mr Orpen-Smellie said: “Previous meetings have shown that people across Norfolk are keen to understand crime and policing in their communities and have submitted questions on a wide range of subjects.” | https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/crime/norfolk-pcc-postpones-first-public-meeting-covid-9187112 | 2022-08-03T08:13:02Z | https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/crime/norfolk-pcc-postpones-first-public-meeting-covid-9187112 | false | 1 |

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has distanced herself from campaign material claiming "more than two million New Zealanders" received the cost of living payment on Monday, when in fact it was closer to 1.3m.
It comes as the $116 payment - the first of three over three months - comes under criticism with potentially thousands of ineligible people receiving it.
This includes those living across the globe despite a requirement to be "present" in New Zealand, and spouses of high-income earners.
The Inland Revenue Department, which administers the payments, has explained it can only deal with the information it has, and if people are believed to be in New Zealand and meet the other criteria it will go into their bank account.

Advertise with NZME.Already 2885 people have opted out of the scheme. People are also required under the law to pay the money back if ineligible, although IRD has said it will only pursue fraudulent payments.
IRD has also explained for similar reasons it cannot rule out the payment potentially going to accounts of deceased people.
A spokeswoman told the Herald they had received no reports of this occurring yet, but that they relied on data from the Department of Internal Affairs.
"If they or executors don't tell us someone has died, then we wouldn't know," she said.
As of Wednesday payments had gone to 1.3m people - about 800,000 fewer than the 2.1m originally estimated, although the scheme remains open until March next year.
IRD is seeking bank accounts for more than 150,000 people as well.
On Tuesday, a Labour campaign email asking for donations stated: "More than two million New Zealanders received $116 from the new Cost of Living Payment".
Ardern said she had not been aware of the campaign material before it was sent.

Advertise with NZME."The first I've seen of that was once it had gone out.
"I'm not privy to every communication that the Labour Party's general secretary has with Labour members and supporters.
"It's not timing or wording that I would have used."
National Party deputy leader Nicola Willis said the scheme "was doomed from the start", with officials warning the Government against it.
Willis also challenged Revenue Minister David Parker on aspects of the scheme during Question Time in the House.
Parker claimed people were "not obliged to pay it back because it's been legitimately paid to them".

Advertise with NZME.However, the scheme itself says people must "immediately" repay it.
Parker said if IRD had paid based on their screening there was no obligation on the payee to return it.
Willis asked how New Zealanders who have left the country five, six, or seven years ago received the payment.
Parker said it must be that the Inland Revenue Department had a New Zealand address for that taxpayer rather than an overseas one.
Willis said if it was the case there could be a much larger number than anticipated as she didn't believe many people would opt to change their address after leaving the country. | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/cost-of-living-payment-pm-jacinda-ardern-distances-herself-from-campaign-email/SCWHBVHGF65X6ABSP2TMU4HX5Q/?c_id=1&objectid=12542565&ref=rss | 2022-08-03T08:16:03Z | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/cost-of-living-payment-pm-jacinda-ardern-distances-herself-from-campaign-email/SCWHBVHGF65X6ABSP2TMU4HX5Q/?c_id=1&objectid=12542565&ref=rss | true | 6 |
Maker of natural pet food plans $8 million expansion in Hauppauge
Holistic Health Extension, a Deer Park maker of natural pet food, has received preliminary approval for more than $300,000 in tax breaks from the Suffolk County Industrial Development Agency to support an $8 million move to Hauppauge.
The company will purchase and renovate a 55,000-square-foot warehouse and distribution facility at 50 Commerce Dr. instead of moving its business operations off Long Island. The tax breaks include reductions in sales tax on materials and equipment purchases, as well as reduced property taxes for 10 years.
Had the family-owned, third-generation business not obtained the financial assistance, relocation to New Jersey, where Holistic Health Extension works with a "co-packer," would have been "strongly considered," company officials said in their application to the IDA.
"We're excited to purchase a new headquarters that will be able to house all of our employees and inventory, all while providing us with the necessary space to continue expanding," Brad Gruber, 36, president of Holistic Health Extension, said in a statement.
The pet food sold by the company is made from proprietary recipes, mostly created by Gruber’s wife’s grandfather, who started the business from his home basement in Dix Hills in 1963, Gruber said Thursday. It is manufactured in a facility upstate.
Gruber described Holistic Health Extension as "high-quality, nutritious" dog and cat food and said "mom and pop pet stores" account for 90 percent of the company's sales.
Holistic Health Extension also sells treats, vitamins and supplements, and shampoos for cats and dogs.
It has 18 full-time employees, 12 of them on Long Island, and plans to add six full-time positions, Gruber said. The average employee earns $53,740, according to the IDA application.
"The IDA is pleased to play a role in this project that will keep a homegrown company from uprooting its successes while retaining and creating jobs for Long Islanders," IDA executive director Tony Catapano said in a statement.
Moving operations to the new building, which is three times larger than the company's current facility, will allow it to "double down" on distribution operations and continue its expansion, but Gruber said he’s not interested in selling through large national pet product retailers.
“Our product is a niche, noncommercial, cooked slow, small-batch product,” he said. | https://www.newsday.com/business/pet-food-ida-suffolk-s53345 | 2022-08-03T08:18:11Z | https://www.newsday.com/business/pet-food-ida-suffolk-s53345 | false | 1 |
Say it and do it, or renegotiate
John Foust
Aug 1, 2022
Joe is an ad manager with a common-sense approach to managing his team and their goals. He believes in communication — not micro-management — but real communication on how things are going.
“For years,” he told me, “I often found out at the eleventh hour that something wasn’t going as planned. A crucial email wasn’t sent in time, a proposal was held up by research delays or an ad deadline wasn’t met. Now, those things can happen to even the best members of an ad team at the best of publications. But it puts everyone in an awkward position and threatens to damage our credibility.
“So, I started relying on a little saying that I heard a long time ago: ‘Say what you’re going to do. Then do it, or renegotiate.’ It has become a catchphrase around the office. Start out with a realistic commitment by saying what you’re going to do, whether it’s to email certain information to an advertiser by the end of the week, submit a proposal by next Tuesday, or have an ad ready to run by this afternoon. Then do what you committed to do — on time.
It sounds simple, but some salespeople get so excited about a sale that they tend to overpromise. That’s where they can get into trouble by thinking they can double their effort and get things done on schedule. The result is often a missed deadline or sloppy proofreading.
“That’s why renegotiating is so important,” Joe said. “As soon as they know things aren’t going as promised, it’s best to go back to the other person and say something like, ‘I’m sorry; the proposal I promised by next Tuesday has been delayed. I wanted to tell you as soon as I found out because you have a right to know exactly what’s going on. Let’s talk about some alternatives. Could later next week possibly work for you? That will allow us to gather more complete demographic information and give you a better view of your target audience.’ Notice how the statement ends with a benefit to the other person.
“As a manager,” Joe explained, “this approach helps me stay up to speed with what is happening with our advertising department. Plus, it shows the team that this kind of situation does not mean failure. It’s just a speed bump along the way. This is much better than waiting until the last minute to tell me, their advertiser or their coworkers.”
There’s a big lesson in Joe’s philosophy. Transparency is a key principle of business communication. The word itself indicates “seeing through,” such as a window allows us to see what’s on the other side. When we are transparent with other people, we eliminate the window shades of pride and embarrassment, which tempt us to wait “one more day” before sharing what we fear could be interpreted as bad news.
While bad news is not happy news, this technique can help keep the lines of communication — and customer relations — open. © Copyright 2022 by John Foust. All rights reserved.

Arizona Speaker Rusty Bowers trails Trump-backed candidate
By BOB CHRISTIE
Associated Press
PHOENIX (AP) — Republican Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers was trailing late Tuesday in his bid for a state Senate seat after refusing former President Donald Trump’s pleas to help overturn the 2020 election results and testifying before Congress about the efforts.
Bowers is trying to move to the state Senate because of term limits and faced an opponent in the GOP primary who criticized him for refusing to help Trump or go along with a contentious 2021 “audit” that Republican leaders in the Senate commissioned.
Former state Sen. David Farnsworth was ahead but the race remained too early to call. Whoever comes out ahead automatically will win the Senate seat because no Democrat is running in the heavily Republican district.
Bowers has faced an uphill battle in the eastern Phoenix suburb of Mesa, especially after the state Republican Party censured him following his June testimony before the panel investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on Congress and Trump endorsed Farnsworth.
“I’m well aware that I’m highly distrusted,” Bowers told The Associated Press before the election. “My district is a very Trump district, and who knows how this is all going to work out.
“And if it doesn’t work out, great, I’d do it all again the same way,” Bowers said.
Trump pressured Bowers to help with a plan to replace electors committed to now-President Joe Biden during a phone call weeks after Trump lost the 2020 election. Bowers refused.
Bowers insisted on seeing Trump’s evidence of voter fraud, which he said Trump’s team never produced beyond vague allegations. He recalled Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani later told him, “We’ve got lots of theories, we just don’t have the evidence.”
Bowers is a conservative Republican, but Farnsworth said he’s not conservative enough and has become less so since becoming speaker following the 2018 elections.
“Of course, the big issue, I think, for everybody is the fact that I strongly believe that there was fraud in the 2020 election,” Farnsworth said in an interview last week. “And I feel like Rusty failed …. to take responsibility as speaker of the House and look into that election.”
The Farnsworth-Bowers battle is one of several brewing that involve current or former Arizona lawmakers.
In another eastern suburban district, GOP Sen. Tyler Pace was trailing his challenger after an outside group targeted him and Bowers.
Redistricting put two Trump-supporting state senators, Kelly Townsend and Wendy Rogers, into the same district. Rogers was leading in early returns, but the race was too early to call.
It featured bitter recriminations as Rogers has faced repeated ethics charges for her inflammatory rhetoric, support for white supremacists and conspiracy-theory laden tweets.
Townsend said she felt compelled to run against Rogers when she refused to refute white nationalism after speaking at a conference in Florida in February.
“If I don’t run against her and make that statement, win, lose or drawn then her actions become our own,” Townsend said Monday. “It sort of spoils the whole (Republican) party.”
Rogers has earned a national following, raising a whopping $3 million from donors across the country since taking office in early 2021. Townsend had raised about $15,000, much more typical for a state legislative race.
In the west Phoenix suburbs, former Rep. Anthony Kern, who attended Trump’s Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol rally that led to the attack on Congress and unsuccessfully sued Democrats who asked the Department of Justice to investigate him, was leading in his effort to return to the Legislature. He was defeated in his 2020 House primary and is now aiming for a Senate seat. If his solid lead holds, he’ll get it, since no Democrat is running.
Also trying for a political comeback is former Rep. Steve Montenegro, whose 2018 run for Congress was upended by a sexting scandal. He was leading among four Republicans running in a west Phoenix House district for two open House seats.
Democratic Reps. Diego Espinoza and Richard Andrade are facing off after being drawn into the same district in the western Phoenix suburbs, with Andrade holding a slight lead in a race too close to call. And Sen. Lela Alston, considered the most experienced lawmaker in the Legislature, was well ahead of two challengers in her central Phoenix district. One of them, political unknown Al Jones, has sought attention by buying billboards across the city. | https://kesq.com/news/ap-national-news/2022/08/02/arizona-speaker-rusty-bowers-trails-trump-backed-candidate-2/ | 2022-08-03T08:25:53Z | https://kesq.com/news/ap-national-news/2022/08/02/arizona-speaker-rusty-bowers-trails-trump-backed-candidate-2/ | true | 23 |

‘Guard cat’ credited with preventing would-be robbery
BELDEN, Miss. (AP) - A Mississippi man said his pet cat helped prevent a robbery at his home, and he credits the calico with possibly saving his life.
Bandit, a 20-pound (9.1-kilogram) cat, lives with her retired owner Fred Everitt in the Tupelo suburb of Belden. When at least two people tried to break into their shared home last week, the cat did everything she could to alert Everitt of the danger, he told the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal.
“You hear of guard dogs,” said Everitt, 68. “This is a guard cat.”
The attempted robbery occurred sometime between 2:30 and 3 a.m. on July 25, Everitt said. He was first awoken by Bandit’s meows in the kitchen. Then, she raced into the bedroom, jumped onto the bed and began pulling the comforter off of him and clawing at his arms. Everitt knew something was wrong.
“She had never done that before,” Everitt said. “I went, ‘What in the world is wrong with you?’”
Everitt got up to investigate and saw two young men outside his back door. One had a handgun, and the other was using a crowbar to try and pry the door open, he said.
Everitt said by the time he retrieved a handgun and returned to the kitchen, the would-be intruders had already fled. Everitt told the newspaper that he did not call the police.
He said the situation could have been different without Bandit.
“It did not turn into a confrontational situation, thank goodness,” Everitt said. “But I think it’s only because of the cat.”
Everitt adopted Bandit from the Tupelo-Lee Humane Society four years ago.

As rains continued in Kerala, state Revenue Minister K Rajan on Wednesday said that people should strictly avoid going to areas which are inundated or flooded as part of a growing trend of "flood tourism" and warned that police would be used to remove such persons.
Rajan said there is a growing trend among people to visit areas which are flooded and try to enter the waters there or catch fish and the same should be avoided as it creates an additional burden on the authorities carrying out relief and rescue operations.
He gave the example of an elephant being stranded for hours in the Chalakudy river on Tuesday morning, news reports of which led to a large number of people arriving at that place and creating a problem for the local authorities.
"Such activities in flooded areas would not be permitted at all and if necessary, police assistance would be sought to remove such persons," he said.
On evacuating people from disaster prone areas, he said that according to guidelines in the Orange book such people have to be mandatorily relocated.
Rajan said that the state government has taken all necessary steps, like setting up relief camps, so that there is no loss of life and people can comfortably wait out the rains.
He also said that there was no need to be concerned about the flood-prone low lying Kuttanad area of the state, but the authorities were monitoring the situation there.
Meanwhile, as there was some decrease in the intensity of rains in certain parts of the state in the early morning hours on Wednesday, water levels in various major dams and reservoirs were holding steady or had risen only marginally at around 7 AM, according to data received from various districts.
However, the water storage level in Idukki reservoir reached 2375.52 feet and a blue alert was sounded at 10 AM.
On Tuesday, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a red alert, indicating extremely high rainfall, in all the districts of the state barring Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Pathanamthitta and Kasaragod, for August 3 and has predicted heavy rainfall in the state till August 5.
A red alert indicates heavy to extremely heavy rains of over 20 cm in 24 hours, while orange alert means very heavy rains from 6 cm to 20 cm of rain. A yellow alert means heavy rainfall between 6 and 11 cm.
The heavy rains led to six deaths -- one each in Thiruvananthapuram, Kottayam and Ernakulam districts and three in Kannur district -- resulting in a total of 12 rain-related casualties in the state from July 31 to August 2, the Kerala State Emergency Operations Center (KSEOC) had said.
Besides that, three people have also gone missing from various parts of the state during the day, it had said.
In view of the heavy rainfall and anticipating landslides, flash floods and other disasters, the state government had also opened 95 relief camps across Kerala where 2,291 people have been relocated, KSEOC had said on Tuesday.

White House Hands Taiwan Over on a Silver Platter: 'We Do Not Support' Independence
Regarding the comments he made during a Monday news briefing, President Joe Biden may as well have gift-wrapped Taiwan to hand over to the Chinese Communist Party itself.
The country of Taiwan remains, to this day, one of the few areas over which Bejing claims sovereignty but does not outright control. While the U.S. has avoided fully affirming China’s sovereignty over Taiwan, for decades it has recognized the “One China” policy, which claims that the People’s Republic of China — founded and ruled over by the CCP — is “the sole legal Government of China.” Therefore, the Republic of China — Taiwan’s democratic government — is not officially recognized by the U.S. government.
Tensions began escalating when news broke that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi was expected to visit Taiwan’s capitol, Taipei, during her upcoming tour of Asia, making her the highest ranking U.S. official in twenty-five years to make an official visit.
Likely in response to CCP pressure, Pelosi refused to even mention the country in a statement detailing her planned trip.
Even more disturbingly, White House rhetoric on Tawian/China relations took a sudden shift. Confused and softened messaging from Biden and his White House made one thing very clear — the Democrats currently in power have no clear conviction on the matter.
If you were to look at NBC News’ coverage of the event, you would be none the wiser that Biden had, in fact, sold out one of the sole bastions of freedom left in the Eastern world.
“Biden Says U.S. Will Defend Taiwan Militarily If China Invades,” a NBC News clip of the briefing is titled on YouTube.
Nothing in that title is an outright lie, but it omits some important context.
While Biden did admit that he would be willing to send troops to defend against Taiwan being “taken by force,” one could infer from his statements that, if such a takeover is coerced using less violent methods, the U.S. would not be offering military aid.
Later, the White House flat out admitted that it does not support Taiwan, assuring that CCP officials had no reason to be concerned with Pelosi’s visit.
“We have said that we do not support Taiwan independence, and we have said that we expect cross-strait differences to be resolved by peaceful means,” National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said, according to the Independent U.K.
“Put simply, there is no reason for Beijing to turn a potential visit consistent with long-standing U.S. policy into some sort of crisis or conflict or use it as a pretext to increase aggressive military activity in or around the Taiwan Strait”.
There should be a clear, unquestioned understanding that Taiwan is an independent country, not a province of Communist China.
Unfortunately, to Biden and his cronies, that doesn’t appear to be the case.
If the White House’s confusion over what stance to take in regards to Taiwan’s independence is clear to us, it’s most certainly also clear to CCP officials.
And China will likely be more willing to act amidst the chaos. War preparations currently underway in Taiwan suggest as much.

Your gun is none of the government's business | Napolitano
No sooner had the Supreme Court released its decision last month recognizing the personal right to carry a handgun outside the home than the big-government politicians began to resist the court's holding. None was more anti-Constitution than New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, who told the court that "New York is ready for you."
I understand that politicians often say and do things that they inwardly know are unconstitutional or unlawful in order to please their political bases, but vaguely threatening the Supreme Court over a fundamental liberty is an offense to the Constitution.
Here is the backstory.
Until the early 1930s, gun regulation in America was tepid at best. You signed up; you bought a gun; you told the authorities you wanted to carry it; they gave you a permit; you were registered with the state in which you lived. No bureaucrat made a subjective judgment as to your moral worth to own and carry a gun. The language of the Second Amendment was interpreted to mean that law-abiding persons could own and carry a registered handgun.
Then along came Miller. Miller was a federal case in which the defendant was arrested for carrying a gun across state lines that had a barrel that was too short. Miller had lawfully purchased a rifle and then shortened the barrel, thus creating what was commonly called a sawed-off shotgun. During the Prohibition era, Congress criminalized transporting them across state lines. These weapons were lawful to own and use in most states, but not to transport from one state to another.
Congress enacted this law pursuant to an absurdly expansive reading of the Constitution's Commerce Clause, which permits Congress to regulate interstate commerce. I call this reading absurdly expansive because during this same time in history — the 1930s — the Supreme Court interpreted that clause so as to enable Congress to regulate anything that affected interstate commerce — even if the activities being regulated were not commercial and even if they remained in one state. The court also interpreted the clause to permit Congress to ban any item from interstate commerce.
When James Madison crafted the language in the Constitution that gave Congress this power, he understood "to regulate" as meaning "to keep regular." That was the general public understanding at the time, as the use of tariffs and monopolies by state legislatures to reward their patrons during the Articles of Confederation period had brought interstate commerce nearly to a halt.
The statute that Miller violated and for which he was convicted was not based on the Second Amendment but on a big-government, grossly misleading reading of the Commerce Clause. Miller himself was represented by a series of lawyers, none of whom was paid and all of whom deserted him after filing an appeal at the Supreme Court.
When the court heard oral argument — this is inconceivable today — it had only the government's briefs before it and only government lawyers in the courtroom. It is no surprise that the Supreme Court of the United States, hearing only the government's side of a case, ruled that the Second Amendment does not confer or protect a personal right to own or carry a gun, but does so only for state militias, today called the National Guard.
This ruling unleashed a flood of state regulations that varied from only the police can own and carry a gun to any adult can do so.
In 2008, the Supreme Court overruled Miller and held that the Second Amendment protects the individual personal right to keep and carry a gun in the home. The opinion by the late Justice Antonin Scalia recognized that the right to keep and bear arms is a fundamental right and a modern extension of the ancient right to self-defense.
When I asked Justice Scalia why he didn't characterize the right as "natural," he replied that the phrase "natural right" sounded too Catholic for some remembers of the court, and that "fundamental" and "ancient" taken together mean the same as "natural."
Last month, the court held that the Second Amendment protects the right of law-abiding persons to carry guns outside the home because that right is an American tradition that was recognized widely as fundamental in 1791, when the amendment was ratified. Like the First, the Second Amendment does not grant liberty; it restrains the government from interfering with it. Justice Clarence Thomas wrote that the Second Amendment does not protect second-class rights and that the right to keep and bear arms is as well enshrined and protected as the freedom of speech.
In a bizarre concurrence, Justice Brett Kavanaugh writing for himself alone (thanks be to God) wrote that nothing in the majority opinion prohibits the states from requiring registration of weapons that folks carry. It is hard to believe that Justice Kavanaugh read the majority opinion to which he consented. If the Second Amendment protects the same category of rights — fundamental — as the First Amendment does, then the government can no more require registration of our guns than it can require registration of our books.
Now back to Hochul and her unconstitutional legislation in New York. That law, enacted with no debate and just days after the right to carry opinion came down, limits carry permits to persons of "good moral character," a phrase that is undefinable. The government lies, cheats, steals and kills, and it thinks it can determine "good moral character"! The New York law also requires the submission of social media accounts from the past three years for bureaucratic approval before a carry permit may be issued. New York is attacking the First Amendment as well as the Second.
Hochul took an oath to defend the Constitution. Why do we repose the Constitution for safekeeping into the hands of those who pervert it?

- Partnership to develop gas solutions with a low global warming potential (GWP) used in the production of semiconductors
- Alternative etchant gas from Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany in practical testing at Micron
DARMSTADT, Germany, Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, a leading science and technology company, and Micron Technology, Inc., an industry leader in innovative memory and storage solutions, join forces to develop gas solutions with a low global warming potential (GWP). After a year of iterative collaboration, Micron is now testing an alternative low-GWP Etch gas from Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany's Research & Development unit to validate its process performance to replace a traditional, high-GWP material. The goal: new, more sustainable gas solutions are to be introduced permanently into production in the future.
"Sustainability needs collaboration. We must not think in silos or limit ourselves merely to our corporate boundaries. The entire value chain is called upon to explore new, joint paths in order to achieve even more together", said Kai Beckmann, Member of the Executive Board of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany and CEO Electronics, adding that "Micron has set itself ambitious sustainability goals, as we have done. We are pleased to be able to contribute to their success."
"Our new target aims at 42% emissions reduction across Micron's global operations from 2020 levels by 2030. We take a multifaceted approach toward meeting our net-zero operational commitments. This includes investing in advanced abatement systems, prioritizing use of gases with lower global warming potential, sourcing energy-efficient equipment, and purchasing renewable instead of fossil fuel-generated energy", said Sanjay Mehrotra, President and Chief Executive Officer of Micron. "We are glad to have a reliable partner in Merck to help us achieve these goals", he added.
Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany and Micron look back on a long-standing, trusted business relationship. The test of a new gas with low global warming potential is to be just the beginning of the cooperation in the area of sustainability. Both companies are working to find new materials to replace various etching gases with high global warming potential that are used in dry etch and chamber cleaning applications. This can contribute to achieving the sustainability goals of both companies.
In May 2022, the independent Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has confirmed that Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany's climate targets corresponded to the current status of climate science. Consequently, the company is helping to limit global warming to 1.5°C, thus meeting the requirements of the Paris Agreement. Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany has committed to lowering its absolute direct (Scope 1) and indirect (Scope 2) greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030. The majority of these greenhouse gas emissions is stemming from process-related emissions during the production of specialty chemicals for the electronics industry. With improved processes, the company can significantly reduce those emissions in the future. At the same time Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany aims to reduce its indirect emissions along the entire value chain (Scope 3) by 52% per euro value added by 2030. The baseline year is 2020. The company's progress is documented in the sustainability report 2021.

Kate Middleton And Princess Charlotte Had So Many Sweet Moments At The Commonwealth Games
While Prince George is the royal kid who's been making the most surprise appearances at events with his parents Kate Middleton and Prince William lately, his younger sister Princess Charlotte had her own big moment yesterday.
This was while attending the swimming match of day five of the Commonwealth Games with her mum and dad.
Princess Charlotte, seven, sat alongside her mother in a black and white striped dress with a Peter Pan collar.
Middleton complemented her in an all-white look: a blazer, top, belt, and high-waist pants.
The two were photographed interacting frequently during the match, giving the public a little glimpse into their private mother-daughter dynamic.
Princess Charlotte was pretty emotive at some points:
And Middleton couldn't hide her pride for her daughter later during the event either as Princess Charlotte channelled her mother shaking hands and meeting officials:
Us Weekly ran details in May about what Princess Charlotte's seventh birthday was like, along with how the only Cambridge daughter's personality has really come out.
Princess Charlotte got a pony this year, every little girl's dream come true because she is, after all, a literal princess: 'The gift Charlotte wanted more than anything was a pony,' Us's source said.
'She has been taking horse riding lessons for over a year and is obsessed. William and Kate know that her passion for riding isn’t a [phase] and finally agreed to buy her one.'
Charlotte loves spotlight, the source added: 'She’s such a popular little girl and loved every minute of being centre of attention.
'It’s obvious from being around Charlotte that she possesses all the personality traits to excel in her future role. … Being in the public eye comes naturally to her–she rarely feels intimidated or complains about it. It’s something she really enjoys.'
Charlotte is also a good student: 'She’s a hard worker and right up at the top of her classes in most subjects,' the source said.
Charlotte is 'self-motivated and a delight [to those around her.] One of her biggest passions is language.
'She’s already well ahead of schedule and dipping in and out of a number of languages, though Spanish is her favourite.'

Searches for sunscreen and products for photo-related ageing have risen year on year, with many of us looking for products to help with issues like dark spots, hyperpigmentation and melasma.
Demand for vitamin c products has rocketed as a result, with the super ingredient praised for helping with lightening dark spots, tightening, brightening and reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
Clinically proven to improve skin tone and minimise visible pigmentation, the Drunk Elephant C-Firma Fresh Day Serum is wowing users with its ability to improve skin, and fast. In fact, users have noted a change after 'the first week'.

Powered by result-driven ingredients, the Drunk Elephant C-Firma Day Serum includes 15 per cent l-ascorbic acid, 0.5 per cent ferulic acid, and 1 per cent vitamin E to aid your skin's natural regeneration process.
In short, it helps reveal a brighter, firmer, and more even-looking complexion thanks to its ability to diminish the appearance of signs of ageing and photodamage.
And users have claimed it 'works wonders', with one writing 'noticed a difference in my skin straight away'.
Vitamin C is a superior skincare ingredient and one of the most effective in brightening the skin, but it can be hard to keep the potency with many serums degrading when it comes into contact with the air.
In order to create the best product possible and for users to see the best results, Drunk Elephant has remastered its bestselling product.

In the history of the U.S. Supreme Court, the names of just a few justices are linked with a single very famous--or infamous--decisions. Chief Justice John Marshall for his 1803 decision declaring that the courts have the power to strike down laws that violate the constitution; Chief Justice Roger Taney for the infamous decision in the Dred Scott case, declaring that no African American, enslaved or free, could be a citizen of the United states, a decision that led in part to the Civil War; Chief Justice Earl Warren for his 1954 decision declaring segregation in public schools unconstitutional. And now, the name of Samuel Alito is indelibly linked with the court's opinion overturning a half century's worth of decisions declaring that women have a right to abortion.
Alito, unlike Marshall, Taney and Warren, is not chief justice, and he may be little known to the public generally. But he has played a key role on the court, often leading the conservative charge not just on abortion, but for expanded religious rights, against LGBTQ rights, against expanded voting rights, against labor unions, for the death penalty, and more.
The workhorse of the right
Indeed, within a short time of replacing the more moderate Justice Sandra Day O'Connor in 2006, he became something of the workhorse of the right.
On contraception, for instance, he wrote the court's 5-to-4 decision, declaring that closely held, for-profit corporations could refuse, on religious grounds, to comply with a federal law that required employer insurance policies to cover contraception for their employees.
"This court has said time and again that we have no business judging whether any sincere religious belief is valid or reasonable and it would be dangerous if we started down that road," he said in announcing his opinion from the bench in 2014.
He wrote the court's 2010 decision striking down state bans on handguns in the home, declaring the "right to keep and bear arms is implicit in our understanding of ordered liberty and is deeply rooted in the traditions of our country."
He wrote the court's 2007 decision declaring that victims of race and sex discrimination on the job could only recover damages dating back 180 days after filing suit, as opposed to when the discrimination began. Congress promptly rebuked the court, amending the anti-discrimination statute to make clear that damages and back pay are to be paid from the date the discrimination begins.
In death penalty cases, Alito has been impatient with attempts to limit capital punishment, in one case writing that any death row inmate who challenges the state's execution method as cruel and unusual punishment, must now come up with an alternative method.
In voting rights cases, he has repeatedly sided with state laws that make it more difficult for people to vote. As he wrote in a 2021 opinion, "Mere inconvenience cannot be enough to demonstrate a violation" of the Voting Rights Act.
One special Alito crusade focused on public employee labor unions. In particular, he took aim at a 40-year-old Supreme Court decision that upheld the rights of unions to collect fees from non-union members, as long as the fees were used only for collective bargaining and other non-political activities that benefitted all workers, union and non-union alike. The idea was to prevent non-union workers from being "free-riders" on the backs of the union. But in 2018, Alito, after whittling away at the precedent for more than a decade, even repeatedly inviting challenges, finally managed to overturn it. The First Amendment right of free speech, he said, includes the right not to speak or support a union in any way. "Nonunion members are not free riders at all," he said. "They are captive riders."
The overturning of Roe
Few issues appear to rankle Alito as much as those that directly or indirectly involve religion, and perhaps not incidentally, the modern culture war. As he put it in a July speech, There is a "growing hostility to religion or at least the traditional religious beliefs that are contrary to the new moral code that is ascendant in some sectors."
The Dobbs decision overturning Roe was his exegesis on abortion and constitutional interpretation. There is no audio of his opinion announcement because the court conveniently abandoned the longtime tradition of these announcements at the height of the epidemic and thereafter, prompting an increasing wave of criticism.
But as Alito explained in his written abortion opinion, the Supreme Court's Roe decision and the decisions that followed, had to be overruled because Roe was "egregiously wrong," the arguments for it "exceptionally weak," and because there was no history or tradition of abortion at the time of the founding or thereafter. There was no evidence, said Alito, "zero," that supported such a right.
Many on the political right hailed the decision as "brilliant," and an example of Alito's approach to the law. "He is not a partisan," said one former Alito clerk. "He just believes that the law is based on rules and rules are rules, regardless of politics."
'He's able to succeed'
Liberal Yale law professor Akhil Amar defends Alito too, maintaining that the justice succeeds by staying within the lines and not overreaching. "He's quiet. He's able to succeed," says Amar.
But others, including some conservatives, disagree. Among them is Sarah Isgur, a former official in the Trump Justice Department, who at one time was a leading member of the conservative Federalist Society. She says the Alito opinion fails the critical test of persuasion because it speaks only to those who agree with him.
"When you have a court that is 6-3 on so many different types of opinions, you can end up with a feeling there there are permanent winners and losers," she says. "And the court when it writes, it needs to write more persuasively to the people who might feel like they're permanent losers."
The question, at this point, she adds, is not whether Roe was correctly decided, but, "Do you overturn a precedent that has been on the books for 50 years--the most famous case probably to most Americans in the country, and it's not even close."
Cornell Constitutional law professor Michael Dorf is more pointed, calling the opinion, "dishonest" because it "so selectively cites history" to argue just one side of a case.
"The judge is supposed to look at it from a more balanced perspective, and that's not what Justice Alito does," Dorf says. "One wonders how so many prior justices, a majority of whom were appointed by Republican presidents, could have found a right to abortion in the constitution and then reaffirmed that right. There's a kind of arrogance to the opinion in the way it proceeds in a one-sided manner."
Isgur adds that Alito's assurances ring hollow when he contends at the end of his opinion that the Dobbs case should not cast doubt on other precedents based on the same reasoning as Roe-- the same-sex marriage opinion, or opinions guaranteeing the right to access contraception, for instance.
That may be, but Alito is part of a court, that, as Chief Justice John Roberts observed in the Dobbs case, is displaying "a relentless freedom from doubt on legal issues."

Air conditioning for the ill, based on need
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo announced Monday that air conditioners will be available to low-income households in New York based on medical need.
The Cooling Assistance initiative, a component of the New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance’s Home Energy Assistance Program, is part of a $3 million effort to aid ill and underprivileged New Yorkers who face extreme heat.
“This program will help provide relief from the oppressive summer heat for some of New York State’s most vulnerable individuals, including senior citizens and children with illnesses that are aggravated by high temperatures,” Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance Commissioner Kristin Proud said in a statement. “I encourage households in need of this assistance to apply soon so the air conditioning units can be installed before the higher temperatures arrive.”
Applicants must meet 2013-14 HEAP income guidelines and have a household member with a documented medical condition worsened by extreme heat. Eligible households must also provide written documentation from a physician, physician’s assistant or nurse practitioner explaining the need for an air conditioner.
Applications will be accepted beginning May 1 on a first-come, first-served basis.

Society's Child
Corporations such as "Cargill", "DuPont" and "Monsanto" (which is formally a German-Australian company, but essentially an American one) are among the most prominent owners of Ukrainian arable land. In addition, corporations like "Vanguard", "Blackrock" and "Blackstone" are among the largest shareholders in the aforementioned agricultural giants, owning trillions in assets. For instance, "Blackrock" is a fund that manages assets worth over $10 trillion, with "Vanguard" controlling at least six and "Blackstone" managing up to $1 trillion. Together, the three massive US multinational corporations ("Cargill", "DuPont" and "Monsanto") own over 17 million hectares of Ukraine's arable land.
In comparison, the whole of Italy has 16.7 million hectares of agricultural land. In short, the three American corporations own more usable agricultural land in Ukraine than what the whole country of Italy has. The entire area of Ukraine is approximately 600,000 square km. Out of that land area, 170,000 square km have been acquired by foreign corporations, the vast majority Western, particularly those based in or financed by the US. Since the new law on the sale of agricultural land passed by the Kiev regime entered into full force approximately one year ago, to this day, the three large multinational consortia financed with US capital have acquired well over a quarter of Ukrainian arable land. A report by the Australian National Review states that the three US corporations managed to acquire 17 out of the 62 million hectares of agricultural land in less than a year. This made it possible for them to control 28% of the total arable land in Ukraine.
After the law on the sale of agricultural land was passed and went into effect on July 1, 2021, the cost per hectare was approximately $2.500, but soon soared up to $10.000. Up to that point, a piece of land larger than two hectares could only be rented by foreigners. But, after the Neo-Nazi junta took power, combined with a steady price increase for arable land, the law was changed and the two-decades-long moratorium on the sale of agricultural land to foreigners was lifted. Prior to this decision, governments were reluctant to allow it, as the move was always seen as extremely unpopular with the Ukrainian people. During his presidential campaign, Vladimir Zelensky said that he planned to organize a national referendum to resolve this issue "once and for all". However, no such vote was ever cast.
An April 2021 report by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), one of the largest foreign creditors of the Kiev regime, made the lifting of the moratorium a condition for its then-loan package and claimed that economic output would allegedly grow from 6% to more than 12% over the next decade, depending on how the reform is implemented. Despite widespread opposition to lifting the ban on land sales, the excuse was found in the fact that too much time had passed without the Rada (Parliament) establishing a transparent mechanism for the sale of land, which was one of the provisions of the 2001 law.
In one of the public opinion polls from the time of discussions on lifting the moratorium, it was clear that at least 81% of respondents were against the sale of land to foreigners, while only 13% supported it. As many as two-thirds of respondents believed that a decision of such importance for the state should have been made after a referendum. Nearly 60% believed that agricultural land should be owned by the state, as is the case in Canada or Israel.
Official statistics in 2021 indicated that approximately 30% of the 43.6 million Ukrainians lived in rural areas. According to data from the US Department of Commerce and the World Bank, the agricultural industry in Ukraine employs more than 14% of the workforce, while agricultural products form the largest share of Ukraine's exports. During the Soviet era, farms were collectivized and owned by the state. After the collapse of the USSR, the land was distributed to the employees who worked on state farms. However, the legal aspects of such a transfer were never fully regulated, much less implemented. Soon followed a brief period during which the sale of land to foreigners was allowed, but then, the 2001 moratorium was passed.
The plunder of Ukraine's arable land also perfectly explains the sudden "concern" of the political West and its numerous satellite states for the export of grains and other food commodities from the country, all under the convenient pretext of "feeding the world". In reality, the governments in the political West were worried about the profits of their financial backers, most of whom are massive multinational corporations whose main drive is profit. Thus, the Ukrainian people have not only been quite literally robbed of the lands their ancestors gave their lives for, but now they're effectively dying in battle to make sure this theft continues unabated. | https://www.sott.net/article/470584-US-corporations-own-around-30-of-Ukrainian-arable-land | 2022-08-03T09:12:41Z | https://www.sott.net/article/470584-US-corporations-own-around-30-of-Ukrainian-arable-land | false | 3 |

LONDON, Ky. (AP) — A Kentucky man has been sentenced to two years and nine months in prison for using false pretenses to accept $370,000 in paycheck protection loans under a federal COVID-19 assistance program.
David Christopher Lewis, 49, was sentenced in federal court last week for his guilty plea to wire fraud. He also was ordered to pay full restitution.
Lewis, who lives in Harlan County, obtained paycheck protection loans for two businesses that were guaranteed by the Small Business Administration under the CARES Act, which provided emergency financial assistance to Americans hit by the economic impact caused by the pandemic. The SBA would forgive the loans if the borrower established that the proceeds were used for payroll, rent or other approved business expenses.
In his plea agreement, Lewis admitted he submitted fraudulent applications in May 2020 for loans on behalf of businesses related to a Comic Con-style event that he had organized in previous years.
Evidence submitted at his sentencing hearing showed that Lewis paid himself or his wife more than $100,000 of the loan money. Lewis also admitted in his plea agreement to lying in a sworn affidavit about the existence and whereabouts of the businesses' employment and payroll records. | https://www.chron.com/news/article/Kentucky-man-admits-to-coronavirus-loan-fraud-17347517.php | 2022-08-03T09:17:26Z | https://www.chron.com/news/article/Kentucky-man-admits-to-coronavirus-loan-fraud-17347517.php | true | 13 |
The B.C. Conservation Officer Service is warning people to keep their doors closed as the summer continues in order to combat a bear’s strong nose guiding it into a home in search of food.
During last year’s heat wave, conservation officers responded to three cases of a bear entering a home through an open door on the same day in one region.
Preventing bears from entering your home is essential, even when the heat makes it challenging, conservation officers said on Facebook in late July.
☀️ With hot weather in the forecast in many parts of BC, this is your friendly reminder that leaving your doors open to beat the heat could bring an unwanted visitor.
Bears have amazing noses and could follow the scent of food right into your home.
— BC CO Service (@_BCCOS) July 22, 2022
Many regions in the province saw the first heatwave of the summer this past week, with plenty of summer heat in the forecast through August.
Keeping doors and unattended windows locked is a good strategy to avoid a bear entering a home, according to the charity Bear Smart. To avoid attracting bears into a yard, store garbage in a secure indoor area, use a bear-resistant compost bin and ensure food residue is burnt off outdoor barbecues after they are used.
Estimates of the black bear population in B.C. ranges from 120,000 to 150,000, and most of the province is considered bear country, according to WildSafeBC.
Some areas are at a higher risk for a bear home invasion than others, and many municipalities have individualized rules, guidelines and educational resources about living with bears.
Wild Safe BC also has a map that tracks wildlife encounters reported to the conservation service. | https://www.cranbrooktownsman.com/news/keep-doors-shut-to-avoid-a-bear-home-invasion-during-hot-weather-conservation-officers/ | 2022-08-03T09:18:10Z | https://www.cranbrooktownsman.com/news/keep-doors-shut-to-avoid-a-bear-home-invasion-during-hot-weather-conservation-officers/ | true | 17 |
2022 Ranking Features 145 Chinese Companies, 124 U.S. Companies, and 47 Japanese Companies
NEW YORK, Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, FORTUNE announced the Fortune Global 500TM list for 2022, ranking the world's largest corporations by revenue for fiscal 2021. Walmart claims the top spot for the ninth consecutive year, and for the 17th time since 1995. Saudi Aramco (No. 6) reclaims its title as the world's most profitable company, with $105 billion in earnings.
Mainland China (including Hong Kong), with 136, once again has the most companies on the list, up one from last year. Adding Taiwan, the total for Greater China is 145. The U.S., with 124, is up two; in third place, Japan lost six, for a total of 47. For the first time, the aggregate revenue of Fortune Global 500 companies based in Greater China (including Taiwan) exceeded the revenue of U.S. companies on the list, accounting for 31% of the total.
Of the 2022 rankings, FORTUNE List Editor Scott DeCarlo says, "A rebound from the worst depths of the pandemic created a huge tailwind for the world's largest companies by revenue. Aggregate sales and profits hit record levels in fiscal year 2021 for the Fortune Global 500.

CHICAGO – The Philadelphia Phillies acquired right-hander Noah Syndergaard, veteran reliever David Robertson and center fielder Brandon Marsh in three trades on Tuesday.
The Phillies sent minor league outfielders Mickey Moniak and Jadiel Sanchez to the Los Angeles Angels for Syndergaard, who returns to the NL East after spending his first six seasons with the New York Mets.
The 29-year-old Syndergaard went 5-8 with a 3.83 ERA in 15 starts after agreeing to a $21 million, one-year deal with Los Angeles in November.
“I’m excited to have the opportunity to play games for a team that is in the postseason hunt,” Syndergaard said in the Angels clubhouse after being informed about the trade. “It’s going to be an exciting race. I’m not going to be able to avoid the New York Mets media now.”
Moniak gets a fresh start with a new organization after he was selected by Philadelphia with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2016 amateur draft. The 24-year-old Moniak is a .129 hitter in 47 career games.
Philadelphia sent minor league pitcher Ben Brown to the Chicago Cubs for the 37-year-old Robertson, one of the top relievers on the market ahead of the trade deadline. The Phillies got Marsh from the Angels in exchange for catching prospect Logan O’Hoppe.
Philadelphia is fighting for one of three NL wild cards. It hasn’t made the postseason since 2011.
The well-traveled Robertson also played for the Phillies in 2019, making seven appearances before he was sidelined by an elbow injury that required surgery. He didn’t make it back to the majors until he pitched in 12 games with Tampa Bay in 2021.
Robertson is 3-0 with a 2.23 ERA and 14 saves in 36 appearances this year. The right-hander finalized a $3.5 million, one-year contract with the Cubs on March 16.
“He was a treat to manage. He influenced a lot of guys in a positive way,” Cubs manager David Ross said. “He’s very professional. Experience is a big thing in this game. He’s been around. He understands.”
Robertson made his big league debut in 2008 and spent his first seven seasons with the New York Yankees, winning the World Series in 2009. He has 151 saves and a 2.89 ERA in 709 career appearances.
The 22-year-old Brown was selected by the Phillies in the 33rd round of the 2017 amateur draft. The right-hander was 3-5 with a 3.08 ERA in 16 appearances with High-A Jersey Shore this year, including 15 starts.
Marsh is a lefty-hitting, righty-throwing 24-year-old with speed and power projection. He ranked among Los Angeles’ top prospects before debuting in the majors last season, but he has struggled in the big leagues. He’s a .239 hitter in 163 games with 10 homers, 14 stolen bases and a .653 OPS.
His defense is well regarded, and that’s an area Philadelphia sorely needed to upgrade. Marsh trails only Brett Phillips and Minnesota’s Max Kepler among major league outfielders in Outs Above Average, according to Statcast.
“It was a little bit of an eye opener but I gotta keep keep going and so does this organization. It’s just part of the business,” Marsh said.
The Phillies have stayed in the playoff race despite losing 2021 NL MVP Bryce Harper because of a broken thumb on June 25. He’s expected to begin swinging a bat soon and should return before the end of the season.
Philadelphia also designated veteran outfielder Odubel Herrera and reliever Jeurys Familia for assignment. The move could end Herrera’s eight-year tenure with the team that included a lengthy ban under Major League Baseball’s joint domestic violence policy.
The 22-year-old O’Hoppe has developed into one of the majors’ top catching prospects. He was batting .275 with 15 homers and 45 RBIs in 75 games with Double-A Reading. | https://mlb.nbcsports.com/2022/08/03/phillies-get-syndergaard-robertson-marsh-in-trades/ | 2022-08-03T09:22:41Z | https://mlb.nbcsports.com/2022/08/03/phillies-get-syndergaard-robertson-marsh-in-trades/ | false | 18 |

Column: How Amazon Prime is driving up shipping costs
In a typical December, United Parcel Service and FedEx see their volumes peak mid-month as folks wrap up their Christmas buying. Last year, however, the packages just kept coming.
"More consumers shopped last-minute," said an analyst from NPD Group, as events unfolded. "E-commerce shipments far exceeded peak projections," noted UPS during its quarterly earnings call. "Last-minute promotions by online retailers drove extraordinary volume growth leading up to Christmas."
The result was massive delays. Many presents spent the holiday in a warehouse rather than under a tree. In an email sent to customers on Christmas morning, Amazon placed the blamesquarely on the shipping companies, noting that its own fulfillment centers were running on time.
But the e-commerce giant issued a press release the very next day, congratulating itself on the more than 1 million Amazon Prime members it had signed up in the third week of December alone, a flood so great that it had to suspend enrollment. | https://www.newsday.com/news/new-york/column-how-amazon-prime-is-driving-up-shipping-costs-j13922 | 2022-08-03T09:23:53Z | https://www.newsday.com/news/new-york/column-how-amazon-prime-is-driving-up-shipping-costs-j13922 | false | 1 |
Love is dead, again, for Crystal Renay and R&B superstar Ne-Yo. Renay put all of the singer’s business on blast accusing him of cheating on her for eight years.
Crystal Renay is so sick of Ne-Yo’s philandering ways and decided to take her grievances to the pulpit of social media on Instagram. Renay claims she has been sharing her life and husband unknowingly for eight years, accusing the singer of having unprotected sex with all of them.
“Eight years of lies and deception. Eight years of unknowingly sharing my life and husband with numerous of women who sell their bodies to him unprotected… every last one of them!” she starts off her statement.
“To say I’m heartbroken and disgusted is a understatement. To ask me to stay and accept it is absolutely insane. The mentality of a narcissist. I will no longer lie to the public or pretend that this is something it isn’t. I choose me, I choose my happiness and health and my respect,” Renay continued.
Renay pointed out the one positive that came from her relationship with Ne-Yo: the couple’s three children.
“I gained three beautiful children out of this,” she continued before continuing to call out Ne-Yo adding she also gained “wasted years and heartache.”
Yikes.
Ne-Yo Is Getting Killed On Twitter
Ne-Yo did like Renay’s post and responded via a statement on Twitter asking for privacy.
“For the sake of our children, my family and I will work through our challenges behind closed doors. Personal matters are not meant to be addressed and dissected in public forums. I simply ask that you please respect me and my family’s privacy at this time.”
If Ne-Yo was hoping that would end the social media discourse about him and his alleged cheating ways, he was dead wrong. Twitter users ripped him for seemingly copying and pasting the statement and used the moment also crack jokes on him.
Bruh.
Ne-Yo might want to stay off social media for a few days.

Henrico cosmetologists, stylists offer mixed reviews of planned reduced licensing standards
In a decision that has received mixed reviews from cosmetologists and stylists in Henrico, the Virginia Board for Barbers and Cosmetology voted to chop the number of hours required to obtain a cosmetology license by 33% – from 1,500 to 1,000 – at its July 11 meeting
Lowering the number of hours needed to get a cosmetology license is part of Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s plan to reduce regulatory burdens on Virginia businesses by 25%, according to a press release.
“Reducing regulatory obstacles that get in the way of both businesses and talented Virginians from entering the workforce has been a priority of mine since day one,” Youngkin said. “Not only will this allow individuals to get to work sooner and help businesses find skilled workers, but it even reduces the amount of student loans a graduate will have to take on.”
The board found that the education needed for a cosmetology license costs more than $16,000 and takes almost a year to complete. The change to 1,000 training hours still must undergo several regulatory steps, including public comment, before becoming final. While the hours are being reduced, the training program will have a greater focus on public protection topics like infection control and chemical safety.
Though reducing the number of training hours is meant to help people access jobs and economic opportunities more easily, cosmetologists and stylists in Henrico are split about the move.
It’s important that cosmetologists have a sufficient amount of training, because they not only need to understand hair but the whole body, according to Patricia Gordon Breggs of Uptown Design Salon & Spa.
“It’s so much you have to learn in cosmetology you have to learn about the nervous system,”Breggs said. “The bones, skeleton systems, electrolytes and disorders of nails and skin and hair. . . Sometimes when the government comes into our industry, they interfere with the knowledge that people need to know about cosmetology, that’s why a lot of people get into it. Then they get back out of it because they didn’t learn a lot of the basic things that you need to know.”
While Tishawna Pritchett of Shawn’s Hair and More understands the benefits of having more cosmetologists licensed and able to work, she worries that it could do more harm to business if those cosmetologists are not fully trained.
“I don’t think the issue is getting licensed, I think the issue is just being confident in their work,” Pritchett said. “It definitely also affects our credibility. Because if we have more people coming out of school early and not getting enough knowledge, not just with styling but with the actual health of someone’s hair and scalp, then we will cause another problem.”
Tony Saad of Tony’s Hair supported the decision to reduce training hours because it will give cosmetologists a chance to get more time to learn from experience in a salon, he said.
“I’d like to see more working behind the chair because when you go to school, you learn theory. But in this kind of work, you have to really put it into practice,” Saad said.
Wendy Shaban of Layers Hair Salon said that while she understands Youngkin’s goal of helping stylists get to work, she still suggests all employees she hires out of school spend a few months as an apprentice.

Nasser Kan'ani, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iran, said in response to the journalists' question regarding Iran's view regarding the visit of an official of the American speaker Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan, and stated, "Respect for the national sovereignty of other countries is one of the basic principles based on the United Nations Charter."
The spokesman added, "Article 2 of the UN Charter has warned the members against any behavior that harms the territorial integrity and political independence of other states."
The spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs added, "The Islamic Republic of Iran considers respect for the other countries' territorial integrity as one of the bases of its foreign policy, and its support for the One-China policy in this framework is indisputable."
Kan'ani considered the recent provocative behavior by the American regime's authorities in terms of interfering in the internal affairs of the People's Republic of China and violating the territorial integrity of that country as an example of America's meddling in different regions and countries around the world, which has only resulted in increasing instability and fueling disputes, and, therfore, is condemned [by Tehran.]
In the end, the Iranian spokesperson emphasized, "Unilateralism and violation of international laws and obligations have become a fixed procedure in the US foreign policy and the experience of this country's withdrawal from multilateral agreements, including the JCPOA, and applying inhumane and illegal sanctions against the Iranian nation is clear evidence the country's non-compliance with its obligations."

Tucked inside the sprawling Senate compromise bill for climate change and health care is an effort, years in the making, to close what Democrats say is a loophole that benefits a handful of the richest Americans: the carried interest tax.
The legislative compromise, reached last week by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin, could represent the single largest federal clean energy investment in U.S. history.
About $14 billion meant to fund those efforts would come, Democrats say, from a change to the way the U.S. taxes what is called "carried interest," a major way that many fund managers and private equity investors earn their compensation.
But it has long been controversial because this kind of income is currently taxed at a much lower rate than the salary most Americans earn from ordinary jobs.
The long-standing provision has survived repeated attempts and promises to eliminate it, from Democrats and Republicans alike.
"There's a lot of money at stake. Some of the richest Americans have made their fortunes by earning carried interest, especially through private equity funds," said Steve Rosenthal, a fellow at the Urban Institute's Tax Policy Center, in an interview with NPR.
How does the loophole work, and what have Democrats proposed?
"Partners in private equity firms and hedge funds who generally manage other people's money get a share of the profits from any deal they do — often about a 20% share, even if they have invested any of their own money in it," said David Wessel, an economics fellow at the Brookings Institution, in an interview with NPR.
Here's the rub: While that slice of profit pocketed by hedge fund managers is essentially their salary, it is taxed at a lower rate than ordinary income. Rather than be subject to the normal individual income tax rate — 37% for the highest bracket of earners — carried interest, so long as it is held for at least three years, is taxed at the capital gains rate, which is typically 20% for those high-income earners.
The difference could represent billions of dollars. (Precise estimates can be difficult because "there's a lot of opaqueness to private equity," Rosenthal noted.)
Senate Democrats say their proposal would raise $14 billion over a period of 10 years. That number is equal to an estimate issued by the Congressional Budget Office for a 2019 proposal to treat carried interest as ordinary income. (In 2020, the Congressional Research Service noted that the amount of money under this kind of management had reached $14.3 trillion, a dramatic increase in recent years.)
Currently, these kinds of investors must hold their earnings for three years to qualify for the 20% capital gains rate, rather than a higher short-term rate. The Democratic proposal would change the holding period from three years to five. (The longer holding period requirement would apply only to people earning more than $400,000 annually, a nod to Biden's previous promise that he would not raise taxes on any Americans making less than that amount.) Other technical changes would attempt to prevent hedge fund managers from structuring their income in different ways.
"It wouldn't completely close the loophole, but it would substantially restrict it," Wessel said.
Where did the idea come from, and why hasn't it passed before?
The idea of closing the loophole has been around for a long time.
Carried interest first surfaced in national headlines in 2007, after a law professor wrote a journal article about the loophole and helped launch a debate on Capitol Hill over whether to close it. The issue found itself on the table again in 2010, then again in 2011 amid the Occupy Wall Street protests. In 2012, carried interest came up in discussions about taxes paid by Mitt Romney, then the Republican nominee for president, during his years running a private equity investment firm. In 2016, presidential candidates Jeb Bush, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton all promised to close the loophole (though President Trump's tax bill in 2017 fell far short of eliminating it).
But no previous proposal to close the loophole has stuck — in part because of aggressive lobbying to keep it.
"There are a lot of private equity and hedge fund partners who are big campaign contributors, including to Democrats, and they care about this a lot," Wessel said. Meanwhile, he added, "all the other constituents of Congress don't even know what it is."
Supporters of the loophole say it's not a loophole at all — rather, the difference in tax rates represents an incentive to invest in the economy. They also say they pay taxes in other ways.
Another argument, perhaps more pragmatic, is that hedge fund managers would simply find other ways to structure their income to avoid the higher tax rate.
Will it pass this time? Maybe.
To pass their proposal, Democrats will likely have to secure all 50 votes from their own caucus — including that of Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, who last year helped to torpedo Democratic legislation over her opposition to any form of higher taxes for corporations or wealthy Americans.
In a Sunday interview on Fox News, Manchin disputed the characterization that the proposal, including its carried interest provision, would raise taxes.
"We did not raise taxes. We've closed loopholes. That's all we did. I made sure there were no tax increases in this whatsoever," Manchin said.
The Senate could take up the bill as early as this week. If it passes, the changes to the carried interest provision, along with the establishment of a corporate minimum tax rate of 15%, would help fund the development of renewable energy projects, encourage Americans to buy electric vehicles and support communities affected by climate change.
