Madhav Gadgil stands his ground
He says WGEEP report is an ecological milestone for all the Ghats States
A decade after the Western Ghats Ecology Expert Panel (WGEEP) report authored by a group of experts led by him redefined the State’s socio-political and ecological concerns and narratives, Madhav Gadgil stands his ground.
In hindsight, Dr. Gadgil feels that no course correction is required for the report, which many consider as an ecological milestone for all the Ghats States, including Kerala.
“I stand 100% by whatever has been said in the report. By and large, I feel that the report has had a positive impact on the ecology of the country. The panel decided on the high, middle and low ecological sensitivity of the Ghats regions based on scientifically identified criteria. The panel report also brought to light specific evidence and corrupt practices of bureaucracy, especially the Forest department,” he asserts.
When asked about the biggest impact of the panel report, Dr. Gadgil says it has increased the awareness of the people on the adverse impacts of the actions of the authorities that are implemented under the guise of development.
He had expected the barrage of violent protests that greeted the WGEEP report in States such as Kerala.
“I had fully expected the violent opposition to the report from vested interest groups. I foresaw the protests. There were concerted misinformation campaigns against the document. In some States such as Maharashtra, contents that were never part of the original report were included in the Marathi translation of the report to mislead people,” he says.
The Maharashtra government uploaded the Marathi version of the report in which it had deliberately included some tyrannical measures as if suggested by the panel. The uploaded report was far from what the panel had originally proposed. He feels that vested interest groups resorted to a planned misinformation campaign as they could not oppose the recommendations of the panel.
When it comes to Kerala, it was a good thing that the Kerala Sastra Sahitya Parishad brought out an accurate Malayalam translation of the report. The State machinery was misused in some Ghats States for deliberately spreading patently wrong and false contents of the report, he says.
“Even when faced with the misinformation campaign, I was sure that it wouldn’t last long. The back-to-back floods, landslips, and other ecological disasters States such as Kerala are experiencing are making people understand the need for conserving the ecology and look at the panel report from a different perspective. The WGEEP report is making more sense to people. These days, people are becoming more and more receptive of the report,” he feels.
While formulating the report, the panel upheld constitutional values and the constitutional framework, he argues. The report put forward the right path for development without unduly destroying the ecology and in the right spirit of democracy, says the ecologist.
The panel itself had suggested that the report should be translated into regional languages and discussed at grama sabhas and their views obtained. The report was prepared in the most transparent and democratic way, he says.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Thursday agreed to hear an appeal from North Carolina Republicans that could drastically limit state court authority over congressional redistricting, as well as elections for Congress and the presidency.
The justices will consider whether state courts, finding violations of their state constitutions, can order changes to federal elections and the once-a-decade redrawing of congressional districts.
The case probably will be argued in the fall.
The appeal challenges a state court ruling throwing out the congressional districts drawn by North Carolina's General Assembly that made GOP candidates likely victors in 10 of the state’s 14 congressional districts.
The Supreme Court has never invoked what is known as the independent state legislature doctrine, but four of the court's conservative justices have expressed interest in taking on the subject.
One of them, Justice Clarence Thomas, was among three justices who advanced it in the Bush v. Gore case that settled the 2000 presidential election.
It only takes four of the nine justices to agree to hear a case. A majority of five is needed for an eventual decision.
The issue has arisen repeatedly in cases from North Carolina and Pennsylvania, where Democratic majorities on the states' highest courts have invoked voting protections in their state constitutions to frustrate the plans of Republican-dominated legislatures. | https://www.springfieldnewssun.com/nation-world/justices-to-hear-gop-appeal-that-could-limit-state-courts/XVDPBOU3LBE43AXA25XTGT3ANY/ | 2022-06-30T15:12:36Z | https://www.springfieldnewssun.com/nation-world/justices-to-hear-gop-appeal-that-could-limit-state-courts/XVDPBOU3LBE43AXA25XTGT3ANY/ | false |
Which ceiling light is best?
Changing up lighting is one of the easiest ways to alter the ambiance of a space. Ceiling lights are popular among consumers because they’re affordable and energy efficient, but with so many options, finding the right one for your home can be a daunting prospect.
The Lithonia Lighting White LED Wraparound Flushmount is a great choice because it’s easy to install and provides at least 50,000 hours of bright LED light.
What to know before you buy a ceiling light
Purpose
The first thing to consider when shopping for a ceiling light is how you intend to use it. Do you need a light for an efficient home office or a comfortable living room? Lighting can have a significant impact on both relaxation and productivity, so think about the following three types of lighting before making a selection. For more information, check out the complete ceiling light buying guide from BestReviews.
Ambient: This type of lighting provides uniform illumination throughout an entire room. Ambient lighting is usually rather warm and nondirectional, so many people like to combine it with other light sources to personalize the ambiance of their space.
Task: Usually found in a kitchen or home office, task lighting provides targeted illumination on a particular space like a desk or a stovetop.
Accent: Similar to task lighting, accent lighting highlights decor like a bookshelf or painting. Accent lighting is only occasionally found in the form of a ceiling light.
Mounts
You can mount ceiling lights in a variety of ways, depending on your design preference and the intended surface area.
Flush and semi-flush: Flush lights only extend a few inches from the ceiling. Semi-flush lights suspend a little more, usually about 6 to 8 inches from the ceiling. Flush mounts are ideal for ceilings less than 8 feet high, while semi-flush mounts are better suited for rooms with particularly high ceilings. Flush and semi-flush mounts are typically used for ambient lighting.
Recessed: These lights mount inside the ceiling itself, so they’re particularly suited for small rooms with low ceilings. Installation is usually costly and complex, so expect to pay more for this type of mount. Recessed mounts are perfect for task lighting and often found in kitchens or workshops.
Hanging: Usually found in the form of a chandelier or pendant, these lights are often stylish or highly decorative and serve as statement pieces in a room. Hanging lights are perfect for task lighting and usually combine with one or two other light sources.
Track: Almost exclusively used for accent lighting, track mounts appear as multiple lights built into a track that runs along the ceiling. The direction that these lights point is usually adjustable to highlight certain items on the wall.
What to look for in a quality ceiling light
Adjustability
If you plan to use a space for a variety of activities, consider a dimmable ceiling light. This feature lets you adjust a room’s illumination with a dial or slider. Since dim lights use less electricity, this kind of ceiling light can also save you money on your power bill.
Motion sensor
Some models come with a motion sensor feature. These lights turn on automatically when they detect movement in the room, making them perfect for a bathroom or basement. You may also want the motion sensor feature for home security purposes.
Certifications
You might come across a ceiling light that has an Underwriters Laboratories or Energy Star certification. These indicate that the product was manufactured to the highest safety and energy-efficient standards. UL tests the safety of consumer products, while Energy Star-certified ceiling lights are guaranteed to use less electricity than other light fixtures.
How much you can expect to spend on a ceiling light
The cost of a ceiling light can vary dramatically depending on the installation, size and type of fixture. You can expect to pay between $20-$150 for a midrange ceiling light.
Ceiling light FAQ
Why is my ceiling light flickering?
A. Flickering usually indicates that something is loose. Try tightening the light bulb or replacing it with an LED light bulb.
What are lumens?
A. A lumen is a unit of measurement used to determine the brightness of a light. Most rooms require 10-20 lumens per square foot.
What’s the best ceiling light to buy?

Australia's fire season now a month longer
Australia's bushfire season is a month longer than it was 40 years ago, and extreme fire weather days are up by more than 50 per cent, a new study has found.
Scientists from the CSIRO have contributed to a new global analysis of how climate change has influenced fire weather and activity from 1979 to 2019.
In 1979, Australia's fire season lasted 100 days, but that's since climbed to 130 days. The number of extreme fire weather days is also up by 56 per cent over the same period.
CSIRO scientist Pep Canadell says that will grow further, depending on global efforts to tackle climate change.
If warming is limited to 1.5C - the primary target in the Paris climate pact - the fire season will grow by another 11 days.
But if warming hits 4C - at the extreme end of scenarios considered by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change - another 36 days would be added.
Dr Canadell says the findings of the global analysis are entirely consistent with other Australia-specific studies.
Last year, CSIRO research found climate change is fuelling the risk of more "mega fire years" in Australia.
It also found the fire season is extending well into autumn and winter, limiting opportunities to mitigate risks with prescribed burning.
"We are confirming and reaffirming some of the older studies and providing new insights into this future," Dr Canadell says.
"But the unique thing about his study is that we have gone through the entire world, all the regions, looking at what's going on."
Fire weather has risen significantly in most regions around the world since the 1980s.
"Increases have been particularly pronounced in western North America, Amazonia and the Mediterranean," Dr Canadell says.
"Fire weather has already emerged beyond its natural variability in the Mediterranean and Amazonia due to historical warming."
Globally, the length of the fire weather season has increased by 14 days per year between 1979 and 2019, on average.
The study has been published in the journal Reviews of Geophysics. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-10969679/Australias-fire-season-month-longer.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-06-30T15:14:15Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-10969679/Australias-fire-season-month-longer.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false |
DALLAS — A woman was arrested Thursday after starting a fire at a home in northwest Dallas, fire officials said.
Dallas Fire-Rescue (DFR) units were dispatched at 12:15 a.m. to Mail Avenue for a 911 call about a structure fire. When firefighters arrived at the one-story, wood-framed residence, they saw smoke coming from the front of the home and heavy fire from the side, DFR said.
According to them, the conditions forced firefighters to immediately retreat from the home. During the process, one of the firefighters became disoriented and initiated a Mayday, which also resulted in a second-alarm response.
"Thankfully, that team of firefighters managed to self-extricate, with the assistance of additional firefighters already on scene, and the Mayday response was cancelled," DFR officials told WFAA in an email.
DFR was able to put out the fire in a little over 30 minutes.
There was a woman – identified by DFR as 29-year-old Diana Marie Davila – inside the home when the fire began. Officials said Davila made it out safely, but investigators found out she was the one who started the fire "by use of a cigarette, in the bedroom which was located where flames could be seen upon arrival."
DFR said Davila "admitted to the act" and she was arrested. It is unknown what Davila has been charged with at this time.
Three firefighters were injured in this incident, according to DFR. One firefighter suffered 10% burns, one suffered 5% burns and one suffered burns to the ears.
DFR said none of the injuries suffered by the firefighters seem to be life-threatening. The firefighter with burns to the ears has already been released and the other two are doing well, according to officials.

Study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of the treatment with the Exablate Prostate system compared to active surveillance of prostate cancer
HAIFA, Israel and MIAMI, June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Insightec, a global healthcare company dedicated to using acoustic energy to transform patient care, today announced that it has received FDA approval for an investigational device exemption (IDE) for a clinical comparative study of the Exablate Prostate system used to treat diseased prostate tissue. This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of focal treatment using high intensity focused ultrasound when compared to active surveillance in men living with prostate cancer.
The Insightec Exablate Prostate system uses sound waves to ablate, or destroy, targeted tissue in the prostate. The treatment is performed under Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) guidance for high resolution visualization of the patient's anatomy for precise targeting and real-time temperature monitoring. The single session treatment does not require incisions and allows patients to quickly return to normal activity with minimal complications.
"We are excited to continue this important research that can impact on the standard of care for prostate cancer treatment," said Behfar Ehdaie, MD, MS, a urologic surgeon at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and principal investigator for the study. "Exablate Focused Ultrasound has been shown to provide an accurate, safe, and effective option to engage the prostate gland directly in select patients based on 2-years biopsy outcomes. The new trial will build on this success and help further enhance treatment options."
"At Insightec, we are committed to the next generation of prostate cancer research and patient care," said Maurice R. Ferré, MD, Insightec CEO and Chairman of the Board. "Through technological innovation and medical advancements, there has been significant progress made in treating the prostate over the last decade, but we're not done yet. Our goal for this study is to demonstrate the clinical benefits of Exablate Prostate and provide patients with the opportunity for improved quality of life outcomes."
A previous Insightec-sponsored clinical trial led by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center for the Exablate Prostate system reported minimal damage to adjacent structures and low rates of impact on potency and continence, supporting function and quality of life for patients. The new comparative study builds on the evidence of this clinical trial and aims to further enhance prostate treatment options and improve clinical outcomes.
The Insightec Exablate Prostate system received 510(k) FDA clearance in November 2021, making way for the system to be offered to patients in a commercial facility and for further clinical studies. In January 2022, the system was used to treat prostate disease in its first US commercial patient.
Results from the new study will define the role of focal therapy to delay and avoid radical therapy for men with prostate cancer and support expanded clinical adoption of the technology and increased access for patients through insurance reimbursement.

"One of our values is the spirit of discovery, we never want to stop experimenting, creating and elevating our items to make them better. We wanted to tap into our roots and provide an authentic pizza product using unique methods and natural ingredients to bring a premium experience at an approachable price point. This isn't your average slice."
The key to any good pizza starts with high quality dough and premium ingredients, which is exactly where every slice at Pizza TBD begins. Culinary Director Vincent Griffith and his team start the process with a mixture of Caputo Lievito yeast, all wheat Caputo flour, extra virgin olive oil, salt and water, which mixes for a 2.5 hour period, followed by a lamination process that allows the yeast to keep feeding completed with a 40-hour fermentation period to give the dough it's signature airy texture and unique flavor.
The cooking process begins with the same ratio for every pie: A generous serving of hand-mixed Caputo dough is spread in a Lloyd Detroit-Style Pan, topped with hand-kneaded and texturized single-origin San Marzano Tomatoes, from Italy, a healthy offering of Classic Tillamook Sharp White Cheddar, a product made from 100 year old award winning recipe and naturally aged over a period of two years. All pies get topped with a sprinkle of Parmesan before entering the hand-built Castelli Forni ovens. The aerated artisanal dough offers a much lighter texture than the typical dense nature of a Detroit-style pizza, but a similar charred exterior and generous cheese to sauce ratio. All this gets topped with premium, fresh ingredients and the result is a pizza that explodes with flavor, tastes filling but eats light–like no pizza you've had before.
Pizza TBD will be launching with three specialty pizzas to be offered at Ensemble Digital Kitchen. Pizza offerings include:
- Queen Margherita (15.99): House-made Red Sauce, Tillamook Sharp White Cheddar, Fresh Mozzarella, Crispy Basil, Parmesan, and Basil Extra Virgin Olive Oil +3.00 Add Pepperoni
- Truffle Shuffle (17.99): Basil Pesto, Black Truffle Burrata, House-made Red Sauce, Crispy Basil, Parmesan, and Black Summer Truffle Oil
- Pep Boi (19.99): Ezzo Cup and Char Pepperoni, Tillamook Sharp White Cheddar, Hot & Sweet Pepper Relish, Pappadew Peppers, Hot Honey, Crispy Basil, Pickled Red Onion and Tomato Leaf Olive Oil
The Ensemble Digital Kitchen team is also working on collaborations and limited edition drops, taking the beloved flavors from some of the other brands within the Catalogue house and reinventing them in new ways. Pizza TBD is the first of many brands and products that will be developed, tested, and launched out of Ensemble Digital Kitchen. In addition to the launch of Pizza TBD, the innovation hub will be featuring desserts by Milk Bar, including cookies, truffles, cakes and pies.
Pizza TBD will be available for delivery and pickup from Ensemble Digital Kitchen beginning on July 5 and available Tuesday- Thursday 11AM –9PM, Friday and Saturday 11AM –10PM, Sunday 11AM –9PM, and closed Monday.

Tim Allen is sharing how he really feels about the new Lightyear movie.
"I've stayed out of this," he said during a June 29 interview with Extra. "We talked about this many years ago…but the brass that did the first four movies is not this. It's a whole new team that really had nothing to do with the first movies."
Allen, 69, added that when he heard they were making a live-action film about Buzz Lightyear, he thought it was a film with "real humans, not an animated thing."
"There's really no Toy Story Buzz without Wood," he continued. "I'm not sure what the idea—I'm a plot guy. It would seem to be a big adventure story, and as I see, it's not a big adventure story. It's a wonderful story, it just doesn't seem to have any connection to the toy. It has no relationship to Buzz."
Lightyear hit theaters on June 17 and serves as a prequel to the 1995 film Toy Story, which was starred Tom Hanks as Woody and Allen as Buzz Lightyear. Allen went on to voice the space ranger for four movies in the franchise, however, Chris Evans was chosen to play Buzz in Lightyear—a move that was surprising for a lot of people, including Patricia Heaton.
Three days before Lightyear was slated to be released, the Everybody Loves Raymond actress slammed Disney and Pixar for not casting Allen as Buzz.
"Saw the trailer for Buzz Lightyear and all I can say is Disney/Pixar made a HUGE mistake in not casting my pal @ofctimallen Tim Allen in the role that he originated, the role that he owns," she tweeted June 14. "Tim IS Buzz! Why would they completely castrate this iconic, beloved character?"
Heaton added, "Why remove the one element that makes us want to see it? #stupidHollywooddecisions." | https://www.eonline.com/ca/news/1336372/tim-allen-gives-his-brutally-honest-thoughts-on-new-lightyear-movie | 2022-06-30T15:20:15Z | https://www.eonline.com/ca/news/1336372/tim-allen-gives-his-brutally-honest-thoughts-on-new-lightyear-movie | false |
Precisely controlling nutrients to starve cancer is supported by research from academic founders, including Lew Cantley, Scott Lowe, Siddhartha Mukherjee, Greg Hannon, and Karen Vousden
SAN FRANCISCO, June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Faeth Therapeutics, a cancer metabolism company, today announced the closing of a $47 million Series A round of private financing led by S2G Ventures, bringing total funding to date to $67 million. The proceeds of the financing will be used to advance Faeth's clinical trials that combine nutrient control, therapeutics and digital tools to inhibit cancer metabolism. Seed round co-lead investors Khosla Ventures and Future Ventures also participated in the Series A, along with additional support from Digitalis, KdT Ventures, AgFunder, and Cantos.
"We believe Faeth has an unprecedented opportunity to introduce a completely new way of treating cancer by overcoming the chronically misguided advice given to patients for 100 or more years – that diet is irrelevant in treating cancer," said Anand Parikh, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Faeth Therapeutics. "Like neurological, endocrine, metabolic and autoimmune diseases, cancer can be treated through diet, but until now, scientific research into cancer nutrition patterns has lacked in-depth mechanistic understanding, contributing to potentially harmful advice for cancer patients."
Faeth Therapeutics was formed after three leading research teams separately converged on one big idea – that controlling metabolism through a combination of drugs and nutrient availability can beat cancer. Discoveries in systemic metabolism, functional genomics and tumor metabolism from, respectively, Lew Cantley, former Director of the Meyer Cancer Center at Weill Cornell Medicine and now a professor at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Greg Hannon, Director of the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute, and Karen Vousden, Chief Scientist at CRUK, have collectively shown the power of targeted nutrient control to starve tumors. Faeth's founding team also includes Scott Lowe, chair of cancer biology and genetics at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and Sid Mukherjee, a Pulitzer Prize-winning oncologist and professor at Columbia University Irving Medical Center.
Faeth's trio of foundational research papers, published in Nature, suggest that precisely controlling nutrients can enhance the efficacy of approved cancer therapeutics. "We intend to 'feed the fight' using this work and create the fourth pillar of cancer treatment, alongside surgery, drugs, and radiotherapy," Parikh said.
"Cancer treatments have greatly evolved over the past decade, but the nutritional advice given to cancer patients, who are often simply told to keep their weight up, hasn't changed," said S2G Chief Investment Officer and Managing Director Sanjeev Krishnan, who joined Faeth Therapeutics' board. "The right nutrients are as important to survival as the right intervention, whether that's surgery or a therapeutic. Faeth has the data to support that targeted nutrient control can reprogram tumor metabolism to deprive it of the nutrients it needs to grow and resist treatment."
Preclinical studies in organoid and mouse models demonstrate that precise control of molecules, including amino acids and sugar, can reduce tumor size and suppress growth to a similar extent as standard-of-care chemotherapies, and combining nutrient control with drugs is significantly more efficacious than either intervention alone. The Faeth Therapeutics approach comprises precisely targeted nutrient control, therapeutics, and digital tools to support both the patient and clinician. The company has now moved to first-in-human clinical trials looking at pancreatic, colon, endometrial and ovarian cancers.
"The proceeds of the round will be used to support early phase clinical trials focusing on the safety of our approaches in cancer patients. Additionally, the funds will support development of our novel preclinical pipeline with our discovery platform, MetabOS™, which combines machine learning and functional genomics to uncover the precise nutrient vulnerabilities for a tumor based on genotype, organ of origin, and therapy," said Oliver Maddocks, Co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer at Faeth Therapeutics.
"Patients always want to know how they can change their diet to improve their outcomes with cancer, but until the work of this team, the science has been very limited. We are seeing early evidence that Faeth's approaches to altering the inputs of metabolism may be as effective as other more traditional treatments, and can be combined on top of current therapies," said Alex Morgan, Partner at Khosla Ventures. "We continue to invest in companies with bold ambitions for a large positive impact on society, leading Faeth's early seed investment and continuing to support its growth."
"We are impressed by Faeth's urgency to move from preclinical data to first-in-human trials. When some of the most preeminent cancer researchers independently reached the same conclusions about nutrient control, then came together to do something about it, we knew we had to back the company," said Steve Jurvetson, Managing Director at Future Ventures.
Faeth Therapeutics is a cancer metabolism company developing clinically-tested nutrition control, therapeutics, and digital tools for the treatment of cancer. Founded in 2019 by leading researchers in Europe and the United States and backed by leading investors, the company is pioneering its work in cancer metabolism to support a radically new way to treat cancer. Faeth's research, published in peer-reviewed scientific journals, shows that tailoring the right diet to the cancer patient can significantly impact the efficacy of clinically tested therapeutics for cancer.

Political and banking deadlock may plunge Lebanon deeper into crisis
By Timour Azhari and Maya Gebeily
BEIRUT, June 30 (Reuters) - Lebanon's untamed financial crisis is gathering new menace as it heads into a fourth year, with political paralysis dampening hope of reforms that could unlock foreign support and stave off social turmoil, according to analysts, lawmakers and former officials.
The emergency gripping the small country squeezed between Syria and Israel could snowball in the autumn if political rifts deprive the state of an executive authority to enact reforms or agree a deal with the IMF and donor countries, they said.
In April, Lebanon agreed $3 billion in financing with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) conditional on key measures to tackle its financial crunch, which descended into full-blown crisis in October 2019. In May, reform-minded candidates scored significantly in parliamentary elections and the outgoing cabinet passed a new financial recovery plan.
But those developments have since been overshadowed by political gridlock and opposition to the plan from the banking sector, suggesting that one of the world's worst financial meltdowns could drag on even longer.
"My view is that as long as the political governance doesn't change, nothing will happen," said Henri Chaoul, a former member of Lebanon's IMF negotiations team who resigned in 2020 when the then-government's plan was undone.
Najib Mikati, the caretaker premier also tasked with forming a new government, faces an uphill battle to cobble together a cabinet that can win the approval of the outgoing president and of a hung parliament.
Cabinet formation is already typically a months-long process in Lebanon but could drag even more as parties try to secure influence in the event that the presidency remains vacant following the end of Michel Aoun's term in October.
If divisions prevent a cabinet from being formed and a presidential successor being named by then, Lebanon risks floating rudderless into uncharted territory - with no executive authority empowered to push reforms or eventually ink a final deal with the IMF and donors.
The economy is sinking fast: the currency has crashed more than 90% and about 80% of Lebanon's inhabitants now live below the poverty line.
ROW OVER DISTRIBUTING LOSSES
The summer influx of tourists and Lebanese expatriates bringing in badly-needed hard currency will do little to resolve the core of the crisis, which centres on a $70 billion hole in the financial system - more than three times the country's entire yearly economic output.
The former parliament did not pass the 2022 state budget, a much-debated capital controls law or a reformed banking secrecy law.
Many had pinned hopes on first-time lawmakers to kickstart a parliamentary push for reforms, but six weeks since the election the body has yet to hold a general session.
Members of the finance committee say they only received a copy of the government's financial recovery plan - agreed in mid-May - earlier this week. Major blocs say that plan must be revisited altogether.
Critics fear a re-run of a scenario from 2020, when a government rescue plan was torpedoed by Lebanon's parliament and the powerful commercial banking sector.
The main division over the plan, then and now, remains how to distribute the losses. Lebanon's government says banks and their shareholders should be first in line to cover losses - a bail-in - while the banks say the state should leverage its assets to pay back depositors in a bail-out.
Lebanon's banking association says it backs an IMF deal even as it opposes the fundamental way the lender and the government want to attribute losses.
That dispute could derail a final IMF programme, Lebanon's caretaker economy minister has told Reuters.
The IMF has insisted the zombie banking sector be restructured to allow the economy to recover - but work on that has yet to begin.
INFLATION DANGER
This year's plan has also faced opposition from powerful Shi'ite armed group Hezbollah, which says it must be revised. Its ally Amal, led by speaker of parliament Nabih Berri, has also called for all deposits to be preserved - an impossible scenario, analysts say, due to the scale of the crisis.
Government critics say the continuing stagnation is intended to push Lebanese citizens needing hard currency to withdraw their dollar deposits from banks in local currency at huge losses in a process known as "lirafication."
Those withdrawals are slowly shrinking the total amount in dollars that banks would owe to depositors in the event a financial recovery plan is ever implemented.
If that policy carries on and the government tries to appease the population by increasing benefits and salaries for the relatively large public sector, Lebanon could spiral into runaway inflation.
"With no new revenues, increasing salaries and benefits such as transport allowance will take the country into hyperinflation," Nasser Saidi, an economist and former vice-governor at Lebanon's central bank, told Reuters.
There is little time and few valuable dollars to waste. Spending on subsidies and cash injections to prop up the Lebanese pound has sapped the country's FX reserves from more than $30 billion in 2019 to $11 billion today, according to the central bank governor.
Opposition MP Ibrahim Mneimneh, a member of the finance and budget committee and long-time political activist, decried the piecemeal approach.
Given the logjam, he told Reuters, "we might have to ask people to come down into the street."

Two lifeguards save 11-year-old who jumped from a pier
WEST HAVEN, Conn. (WFSB/Gray News) – Two lifeguards in Connecticut rescued an 11-year-old boy who almost drowned on the West Haven Shoreline Wednesday.
According to WFSB, the boy struggled in the water after jumping from a pier with his friend, who made it back to shore.
The lifeguards sprinted to the water and pulled the boy out just in time.
“I had Maddy meet me in the middle of where I was swimming so we can flip the kid over to the board and get him to safety a lot quicker. Then I just dragged him on the buoy,” lifeguard Issac Gorske said.
Officials said the boy is safe and was the first rescue in the West Haven area this year.
Authorities urge parents to swim near their children and to use a life jacket.
“Please watch your children actively. Put your cell phones down,” Connecticut DEEP Water Safety Coordinator Sarah Battistini said.
Swimming when lifeguards are on duty is the safest time to be in the water.
“Stay safe and think about what you are going to do before you do it,” Gorske said.

Italy's GSE to buy up to 4 bln euros of gas to boost storage - draft
ROME, June 30 (Reuters) - Italy's state-owned firm GSE will buy up to 4 billion euros ($4.17 billion) of gas to boost stockpiles, a draft decree seen by Reuters showed on Thursday, as the country scrambles to tackle a gas supply squeeze from Russia.
Rome aims to have its gas storage system filled to at least 90% of capacity by the end of this year, up from 58% at present.
The state energy management agency Gestore dei Servizi Energetici (GSE) - in charge of promoting renewables - will help boost gas stockpiles as surging energy prices complicate operators' efforts to help meet the year-end target set by the government.
The scheme, first reported by Reuters last week, is still subject to approval as part of a broader decree which includes measures worth around 3 billion euros to help families and firms cope with sky-high electricity, gas and petrol costs.
The new measures come on top of more than 30 billion euros budgeted since January to soften the negative impact of surging energy costs, which are weighing on the growth prospects of the euro zone's third-largest economy.
Italy last year got about 40% of its imported gas from Russia and, like other EU nations, has begun efforts to diversify its energy supply mix in the wake of Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.

NEW YORK (AP) — Mary J. Blige’s 2022 is going pretty well. Her new album landed in the top 10 of Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, and she was featured at the Super Bowl halftime show. Now she's been tapped for a concert like no other.
Blige will host a one-night-only live performance to celebrate her life and music that will be available to stream exclusively on Apple Music in over 165 countries. The concert is set for July 27 at 10 p.m. EDT/7 p.m. PDT.
“The last year of my career in particular has been an exciting ride,” Blige said in a statement. ”It feels amazing to take this opportunity to celebrate, reflect and have an intimate night with my fans through this platform Apple Music is providing me.”
Blige’s Apple Music Live concert will be held at New York City's United Palace Theatre, in Manhattan's Washington Heights neighborhood. Fans in the greater New York region have the opportunity to register for free for a chance to be in the room when it happens.
The concert coincides with the 30th anniversary of her acclaimed debut album “What’s the 411,” and Apple Music Hits will devote the entire day to Blige, including exclusive programming, music, and interviews showcasing key moments from her career.
“What’s the 411?” — with the songs “You Remind Me” and cover version of Rufus and Chaka Khan’s “Sweet Thing” — has been named among the 500 greatest albums of all time by Rolling Stone, reaching No. 271. The album is certified three times platinum, with over 3 million copies sold.
The digital concert series had its inaugural performance in May with Harry Styles spearheading the campaign, followed by a live performance by Lil Durk in June.
Blige's career includes eight multi-platinum albums, nine Grammy Awards, two Academy Award nominations, two Golden Globe nominations and a SAG nomination. Her latest album is “Good Morning Gorgeous” and she was seen this year on the small screen in ”Power Book II: Ghost."

BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union and New Zealand said Thursday they have concluded a free trade deal after four years of negotiations and sealed a partnership to reinforce their cooperation against organized crime and terror groups.
According to the EU, trade with New Zealand is expected to increase by 30% as a result of the deal, with removing tariffs alone saving businesses €140 million ($146 million) in duties per year.
“This is a historic moment,” said Ursula von der Leyen, the head of the EU’s executive branch. “It is a solid and it is a modern trade agreement. It brings major opportunities to our companies, our farmers, our consumers. And important: on both sides.”
The 27-nation bloc said Thursday that EU investment flows into New Zealand could increase by over 80%.
Bilateral trade in goods between the two partners has risen steadily in recent years, reaching almost €7.8 billion in 2021. The EU is New Zealand’s third-biggest trade partner.
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said the deal provides duty free access for 97% of New Zealand’s current exports to the EU, with 91% being lifted on the day the deal will be implemented.
Von der Leyen said the deal protects 200 European agri-food products with geographical indicators, and guarantees that almost all tariffs will be eliminated on EU exports to New Zealand.
The deal will enter into force once the European Parliament has endorsed it and New Zealand ratified it.
In addition, both sides agreed on a closer cooperation on law enforcement with a deal between New Zealand and Europol, the EU’s crime agency. Von der Leyen said it will help prevent terror attacks that took place in previous years on EU and New Zealand soil, while addressing online terror content. | https://www.beaumontenterprise.com/news/article/EU-New-Zealand-strike-free-trade-deal-after-4-17276392.php | 2022-06-30T15:31:30Z | https://www.beaumontenterprise.com/news/article/EU-New-Zealand-strike-free-trade-deal-after-4-17276392.php | false |
Kansas AG applauds Supreme Court decision to limit EPA authority
TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - The Kansas AG has applauded the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court to side with the states in a case to limit the authority of the Environmental Protection Agency.
On Thursday, June 30, Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt says the U.S. Supreme Court found that Congress did not grant EPA unlimited authority to regulate emissions from power plants in West Virginia et al v. Environmental Protection Agency.
“Today we stopped the Biden administration from implementing its Green New Deal without approval from the people’s elected representatives in Congress,” Schmidt said. “Today’s ruling confirms that unelected Washington bureaucrats cannot write federal law to fit their preferences for energy production and the American economy without congressional authority. More broadly, this ruling is a victory for basic principles of democratic self-government and may one day be seen as a turning point in the decades-long fight to regain control over the ever-expanding federal bureaucracy.”
AG Schmidt said Kansas was a party to the state’s brief in the case.

Collaboration in this important and emerging technology will accelerate electrification and reduce emissions while earning customers money
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- AutoGrid announced a collaboration with Willdan to accelerate adoption of heat pump water heaters to decarbonize buildings by replacing emissions-intensive, gas-fired water heaters. This collaboration will leverage AutoGrid's Virtual Power Plant platform to add significant levels of flexible grid capacity, starting in the CAISO energy market. The flexible capacity, when combined with other resources managed by AutoGrid's VPP platform, strengthens the grid and helps reduce the probability of blackouts during periods of peak energy demand.
AutoGrid is dedicated to expanding their suite of artificial intelligence-driven energy internet applications that allow utilities, electricity retailers, renewable energy project developers, and energy service providers to deliver clean, affordable, and reliable energy in a distributed energy world. Collaboration with Willdan places heat pump water heaters into appropriate distributed energy resource (DER) programs which will have a positive impact on the environment while also providing customers with an additional revenue stream.
"One of our core goals at AutoGrid is to find companies that align with our values, integrate naturally into our offerings, and help support advances in the industry," said Farshid Arman, Senior Director of Grid Services Partnerships. "This synergy will help consumers make smart choices and enroll their connected heat pump water heaters easily into DER programs."
Willdan is a national company that provides comprehensive consulting, technical expertise, financing options, and energy-efficient upgrades for utilities, government agencies, and private industry. They are currently the program implementer for several energy efficiency programs on behalf of the largest utilities in California.
This collaboration serves the needs of the California grid as the state is ramping up ever-more flexible energy resources to be better prepared for a potential capacity shortfall.

U.S. stocks opened sharply lower on Thursday following the release of closelywatched inflation data, while Wall Street was headed for its worst first half of the year in more than 50 years.
How are stock-index futures trading?
- S&P 500 dropped 72 points, or 1.9%, to 3,746.
- Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 509 points, or 1.6%, to 30,519.

What’s driving the markets?
U.S. stocks traded lower after a key gauge of U.S. inflation rose 0.6% in May largely due to the higher cost of gas and food, though there were signs that price pressures were starting to ease.
The rise in the so-called personal-consumption price index was triple the 0.2% gain in April. But a narrower measure of inflation that omits volatile food and energy costs, known as the core PCE, rose by a relatively modest 0.3% for the fourth month in a row — below Wall Street’s 0.4% forecast.
Meanwhile, real disposable income has remained essentially flat since January as the rising cost of living has absorbed all of the increased spending power from rising wages and more jobs.
“Americans are running faster just to stay even. No wonder consumer confidence is in the pits,” said Bill Adams, chief economist for Comerica Bank.
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said Wednesday he saw a path back to 2% inflation, but warned there was “no guarantee that we can do that” while sustaining a strong labor market. The PCE measure is the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge.
The S&P 500 was on course to take its losses for 2022 to more than 20%. Since peaking near 4,800 in early January, the U.S. benchmark stock index has crumpled, amid investor fears that surging inflation is battering consumer confidence and damaging the global economy.

Sentiment has also been hit by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, a move that has heightened geopolitical angst and contributed to sharply rising energy and food prices.
In previous recent episodes of market tantrums, such as the 2020 COVID-19 sell-off, investors could look to central banks for succor. But with inflation in most major economies at their highest level in many decades, monetary guardians like the Federal Reserve are stressing their commitment to tighten policy to damp price pressures. Even if that means hurting growth and, consequently, corporate profits.
“I do not envision equities recovering until the U.S. rates market is pricing more meaningful cuts from the Fed,” said Stephen Innes, managing partner at SPI Asset Management, in a note to clients.
“Implied Fed pricing has declined over the last few weeks — from a peak of 4% to more like 3.50 %. But that is a ton of rate hike risk for the market to digest,” he said.
Initial jobless claims fell 2,000 to 231,000 in the week ended June 25, the Labor Department said Thursday. Economists polled by The Wall Street Journal had estimated new claims would inch up to 230,000 from last week’s initial estimate of 229,000.

WASHINGTON, Mo. (KTVI) – A man from Washington, Missouri, who once weighed 540 pounds is now down to 270.
Jeff Brinker, 57, sells industrial automation equipment and has traveled on a company expense account for 30 years.
“So I could always eat whatever I wanted to eat. So now it’s become about eating to survive as opposed to eating what sounded good,” Brinker said.
Brinker had gastric sleeve surgery in 2016. Initially, he lost some weight, but gained it back.
His initial weight-gain was partly due to his professional and personal habits. In additional to traveling for work, Brinker and his now-ex-wife ran a barbecue and catering company from 2005 to 2015. During that time, Brinker said he gained an unhealthy amount of weight.
About a year ago, Brinker’s daughter Samantha, who is a first lieutenant Air Force pilot, approached him to talk about his size.
“After more than a few conversations, it dawned on me that, you know what? I need to fix this,” Brinker said.
So one year ago, he made major lifestyle changes.
“Just cold turkey. I tried several times to ease into it, or follow some sort of a program, and it never stuck,” Brinker said. “I just had to get my mind around … eat less.”
Brinker weighed 450 pounds at the time Samantha inspired him to make lifestyle changes.
“I cut my calories from a tremendous amount to about 1,200 a day,” said Brinker, who also cut out all added sugar from his diet.
“I had a sweet tooth. So I just quit eating added sugar, gave up sugar in the coffee, and reduced the calories, and cut out the simple carbs like white bread,” Brinker said.
While eating five small meals per day, Brinker also joined a gym. His new workout routine consisted of spending about an hour in the gym every morning using the exercise bike and doing some light weight-training.
Now, he’s in the gym every morning at 4:30 a.m. His total workout lasts 90 minutes, and includes 30 minutes of cardio and an hour of weights. He also now eats about 1,600 calories per day.
Brinker eventually dropped from 540 pounds in 2017 to his current weight of 270 pounds. His 60-inch waist also shrunk down to 42 inches.
Brinker said his new wife Martha, his son, and his daughter keep him motivated.
“My son and daughter check in with me on a regular basis,” Brinker said.
When Brinker started his journey one year ago, Martha had some weight she wanted to get rid of, too.
“My wife today has been incredibly encouraging,” Brinker said. “She has never been heavy, but she said, ‘You know what? I’ll eat like you eat.'” She ended up losing 60 pounds.
Brinker himself would like to lose another 25 to 35 pounds, but he’s happy just to be in better shape.
“Now it’s more about strength training and just being physically active and healthy,” Brinker said. | https://who13.com/news/national-news/man-loses-half-his-weight-after-quitting-bad-habits-cold-turkey/ | 2022-06-30T15:34:03Z | https://who13.com/news/national-news/man-loses-half-his-weight-after-quitting-bad-habits-cold-turkey/ | false |
CAIRO (AP) — After two days of U.N.-mediated talks in Geneva, two senior Libyan officials from the country's rival camps failed to reach an agreement on a constitutional framework for national elections, the United Nations envoy to Libya said Thursday.
According to Stephanie Williams, the U.N. special adviser on Libya, the influential speaker of the country’s east-based parliament, Aguila Saleh, and Khaled al-Meshri, head of the government’s Supreme Council of State, based in the west in the capital of Tripoli, could not reach an agreement on the eligibility criteria for presidential nominees.
The talks in Geneva were the latest in U.N.-led efforts to bridge the gaps between the factions after the last round of talks in the Egyptian capital of Cairo failed to make headway.
“Despite the progress in this week’s negotiations between the heads of the respective chambers, disagreement persists on the eligibility requirements for the candidates in the first presidential elections,” said Williams.
Reports in local media in Libya have said that requirements for a presidential candidacy have been the most contentious point in all previous rounds of talks.
The Tripoli-based council insist on banning military personnel as well as dual citizens from running for the country’s top post — apparently a move directed at the divisive Libyan commander Khalifa Hifter, a U.S. citizen whose forces are loyal to the east-based administration.
Hifter had announced his bid in elections that were slated for last December but the vote was not held because of myriad issues, including controversial hopefuls who had announced bids and disputes about election laws.
“I urge the two chambers to overcome the pending disagreement as soon as possible,” said Williams. “I also continue to urge all actors and parties in Libya against taking any precipitous action and emphasize that calm and stability must be maintained.”
There are growing tensions on the ground, and sporadic clashes between rival militias recently erupted in Tripoli. Living conditions have also deteriorated, mainly because of fuel shortages in the oil-rich nation. Tribal leaders have shut down many oil facilities, including the country’s largest field.
The blockade was largely meant to cut off key state revenues to the incumbent Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah, who has refused to step down. His opponents claim his mandate expired on Dec. 25, when the elections were supposed to take place.
The developments surrounding the non-vote plunged Libya deeper into political turmoil, with two rival administrations — one led by Dbeibah in Tripoli and another by Prime Minister Fathy Bashagha, appointed by the east-based parliament in February. Both Dbeibah and Bashagha claim power.
The rivalry has sparked fears the oil-rich country could slide back to fighting after tentative steps toward unity last year.
Libya has been wrecked by conflict since a NATO-backed uprising toppled and killed longtime dictator Moammar Gadhafi in 2011. The country was then for years split between rival administrations in the east and west, each supported by different militias and foreign governments.
Despite failing to agree on a framework for elections, Williams said the two Libyan leaders reached “unprecedented consensus" on issues such as the headquarters and distribution of seats for the two legislative chambers, distribution of powers among different executive authorities, delineation of provinces and other matters.
“The United Nations’ good offices will remain available to provide all support necessary to reach a sound agreement," she added, leaving the door open for possible further talks. | https://www.beaumontenterprise.com/news/article/UN-Libya-rival-officials-fail-to-agree-on-17276626.php | 2022-06-30T15:34:23Z | https://www.beaumontenterprise.com/news/article/UN-Libya-rival-officials-fail-to-agree-on-17276626.php | false |

Her work in building partnerships with corporations, schools, professional sports leagues, education, government, health professional, and nutrition and fitness organizations has been instrumental in driving GENYOUth's growth from a start-up to a leading non-profit -- raising over $200 million to support and generate measurable results nationwide for youth and school wellness programs.
"On behalf of the GENYOUth Board of Directors, I am delighted to announce the appointment of Ann Marie Krautheim as our new CEO," said Barbara O'Brien, GENYOUth Board Chair; President & CEO, Dairy Management Inc.; and President & CEO, Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy.

"The NFL is proud of our partnership with GENYOUth over the past decade, which continues to have an extraordinary impact on the well-being of millions of youth across the nation through Fuel Up to Play 60, the largest school-based health and wellness program in the country, and NFL FLAG-In-Schools. Ann Marie's leadership as CEO will further ensure that GENYOUth remains integral in our shared commitment to champion physical activity, sound nutrition and healthy lifestyles for children," said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
"I am honored to be named CEO of GENYOUth. GENYOUth has made great strides in our first decade with the incredible support of our founding partners, America's Dairy Farmers and the NFL, and additional purpose-minded partners who share our mission. As this is such a pivotal time for youth and schools, I am committed to continued action to ensure that students, particularly those in high-need communities, are nourished, active and supported," said Krautheim.
A registered dietitian, and the mother of two sons, Krautheim has a high regard for science, agriculture, food and fitness, and their connection to health and wellness among youth. An authority on child wellness, she serves on the boards of state and regional professional associations and is an advisory board member for YMCA Storer Camps. She has received numerous honors including the prestigious Anita Owen Award for Innovation in Nutrition Education from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

She helped facilitate GENYOUth becoming a founding partner in former First Lady Michelle Obama's "Let's Move Active Schools" initiative. Krautheim has led GENYOUth's multi-tiered fundraising efforts and initiatives to End Student Hunger to increase access to and participation in school meals for the 30 million U.S. students who are reliant on school nutrition programs.
"Ann Marie has a deep expertise in critical areas of youth wellness, and a passion for youth leadership. Her vision and expertise will take GENYOUth into its next chapter of building healthier school communities," said Dr. David Satcher, 16th U.S. Surgeon General, and an Emeritus Member, GENYOUth Board of Directors.
"Edelman has been proud to advance the work GENYOUth is doing through its programs and initiatives to support healthier school communities nationwide, and to elevate the youth voice -- most especially in the challenging years of 2020 and 2021. Ann Marie was an integral part of that important journey as GENYOUth's President and Chief Wellness Officer, so in her new role as CEO, I am even more excited to see her leadership further GENYOUth's mission in serving our communities, and empowering our nation's youth to drive change," said Richard Edelman, Member, GENYOUth Board of Directors; CEO, Edelman; Chairman, Daniel J. Edelman Holdings.
"Ann Marie has a deep understanding of the urgent concerns -- and needs of school nutrition programs -- as we prepare to nourish students and address hunger in the coming school year. I appreciate her dedication in working to identify public-private partnerships that are helping schools, and producing measurable increases in school meal participation," said Manish P. Singh, Director of Food Services Division, Los Angeles Unified School District.
"I don't think it's possible to over-state the importance of cultivating the health and well-being of our next generation. As we emerge from the pandemic, serious challenges to child health remain -- caused by everything from ongoing food insecurity to rising income inequality. Ann Marie's important work leading GENYOUth will be beyond essential in serving the critical needs of our nation's most underserved youth," said Selwyn M. Vickers, M.D., FACS; Member, GENYOUth Board of Directors; James C. Lee Jr. Endowed Chair - Senior Vice President of Medicine and Dean, University of Alabama School of Medicine, University of Alabama at Birmingham.

"If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all," is something most of us are taught as kids.
But one man obviously missed the memo, as he was caught on camera body-shaming a woman while she was sat minding her own business in a dessert shop.
The "mind-blowing" video of the moment has since racked up millions of views on TikTok.
And people have rushed to the defence of the woman, with several viewers praising her "amazing" response to his "unacceptable" behaviour.
The "mean" comment was made to @ strawberrifyme, a self-professed strawberry lover who posts reviews of berry-based foods to her account.

In the clip, she can be seen holding up a strawberry-covered cake to the camera, before she is interrupted by a stranger.
The man asks: "Mademoiselle, are you going to eat all of that?"
She replies: "I don't know. I think I could."
But before she finishes, he continues: "That's the reason you are so fat. You know, I'm looking at you."
Without missing a beat, she responds: "Exactly, that's how I stay popular, being fat."
Having received a sarcastic answer, the man does not say anything more beyond: "Okay".
Explaining the quip she made, in a caption written across the video, the reviewer says that she was "not passing up saying stupid to something stupid".
The video then skips ahead to the woman continuing her review. "Entering my strawberry happy place," she writes.
Her video was flooded with comments from well-wishers, who apologised for her experience and commended her composure.
One person wrote: "I’m so angry for you. You handled that way better than I would have."
Another said: "Sorry you went through that." While others added "he is so miserable" and commented on "the audacity of strangers."
A different comment read: "They definitely wanted a reaction out of you to provoke you and you didn't give them that, queen," to which the woman replied: "Exactly and I devoured the cake utterly happy in strawberries."

Beatriz Vasquez Embodies The Art Of Fashion
You rock accessories, Beatriz!
I love beaded, handmade necklaces from Oaxaca, Mexico. The symbolism of flowers is ingrained in Mexican tradition. I often have flowers in my hair to remind me of my culture.
What else connects you to your heritage?
Every time I go to Mexico, I always try to shop for beautiful indigenous Mexican skirts. I want to incorporate the fashions of the communities where my parents come from.
Your fashion heroes?
Frida Kahlo, Zendaya, Priyanka Chopra. I admire women who honor their culture and are so stylish at the same time.
Do you follow trends?
Trends come and go, right? People know you for your style. My daughter says, “You dress so crazy, but everything looks so good.” I say, “This is just me, honey.”
How do you make a fashion statement?
I love heels—big chunky heels. Every single time I walk into a place, people look at me like, “Oh s—, who’s this girl?” Because I’m dressed so eclectic, you know? Sometimes I have braids, sometimes I have an asymmetrical hairstyle. My style is so eclectic, I have to admit.
Let’s talk about your art. What is papel picado?
It’s a very ancient art form created by indigenous Mexican communities. It’s literally tissue paper hand-cut to create beautiful intricate designs, all with chisels, nails, and hammers. Then they put them over rope or line, hundreds of them, and put them on the Mexican plazas from one building to the next, covering the entire plaza with papel picado. This ancient craft is actually a dying art form, but there are a lot of wonderful families deep in Mexico who are still creating it in the traditional form. That’s the reason I say I’m inspired to create papel picado. My work is contemporary papel picado–inspired artwork because I’m not Mexican, I’m not American, I’m both. I cannot take that stunning craft and call it my own. I cut with an X-ACTO knife by hand to honor the indigenous communities who continue to make it. This has helped me to find my own identity. I create from my cultural memory, from my memories of my childhood living on the border, from my images of my parents’ lives growing up as migrants, my father being a migrant worker here in Indiana, my grandparents. Plus injustices that continue to plague Latino and Latinx people in the United States.
You mentioned that papel picado is a dying art form. Why?
Papel picado is a dying art because consumerism has taken over. Go to any Mexican store and you will see papel picado hanging in their shops, but these huge manufacturers have taken that stunning craft and mass produced it out of plastic, which is not sustainable. It doesn’t dissolve like papel picado—once you put the paper version on the lines outdoors in the plazas, the environment gets rid of it in time. It’s really a beautiful thing because it’s saying we’re here for just a moment. We’re all going to dissipate like papel picado, we’re all going to die someday. And because Mexico honors death as a part of life, we try not to be afraid of death. We honor it. That’s why papel picado is a big part of Dia de los Muertos.
How do you even start trying to grasp the technique for an art form so intricate?
I graduated from Herron [IUPUI’s Herron School of Art & Design] in 2006, but I didn’t learn it at Herron. I had to learn all about Mexican artists through my own research. I found myself looking for identity, not wanting to create what everyone else was. I wanted something that identified with me. I went through painting, ceramics, woodworking, but didn’t make the connection until I went to the border to meet with my uncles and aunts. The day prior to leaving Mexico, I went shopping at the markets, looked up, and saw papel picado. I thought, Oh my god, it’s always been part of me. I never saw it as a form of art, saw it as just a craft. It’s not something you see in museums, but it’s beautiful. Why didn’t I see the beauty and intricacy of it before?
Anything you can tell me about your new collection of wearable paper art?
My latest collection involves sculptural techniques with heavyweight Canson and colorful tissue paper swirls.
Where can we see your work right now?
I am currently exhibiting at the Indiana State Museum’s Collecting Indiana exhibit, the Kurt Vonnegut Museum & Library’s Immigrant Experience, and the Children’s Museum, where I am hosting a Wearable Art workshop as one of the 2022–23 Visiting Artists.
How do fashion, art, and social justice intersect?
It’s huge. My way of expressing myself is a form of resistance, going against the grain of colonization and the expectations that have been placed on me since I was a little girl. And art is so connected to the treatment of Latinos in communities all over the world. My art is soaked in meaning. I call myself an “artivist,” both an artist and an activist. Everything’s an act of resistance.
With one glance at your Instagram feed, it’s obvious that your Mexican-American heritage, your art, and your fashion all align to tell a story. What story are you hoping to tell?
Individuality. Cultural pride. Belonging and self-acceptance. Being proud of where you come from, your roots. I always talk in my art about healing, generational traumas. I speak about how my image is first and foremost within my art. If you look at my Instagram, you see a lot of photos of me. I take so much pride in who I am as a woman coming from a traumatic past—we were not rich at all, we were very poor, underrepresented all the time. I still feel like I’m underrepresented. No matter what culture you come from, self-awareness doesn’t follow the expectations of society. A lot of my mother’s friends are my age or younger. They tell my mom, “She doesn’t look like a mom.” I say, “What, traditionally?” Exactly what is that supposed to mean? I just don’t understand that. Honor yourself however you want to. We’re all artwork. You decorate yourself and your body from head to toe however you want. You are your own canvas. A lot of Mexican women will say, “Why is she wearing those clothes?” Because I want to!
You call yourself a Chicana artist. What does that mean, exactly?
A Chicana is a person of Mexican descent that was born in the U.S. I’m not fully Mexican, but I also feel like I’m not fully American. I was born on the border with all the richness of Mexican traditions—food, fashion, beauty—but also with the beauty of American style and Chicana style. Saying you’re a Chicana is also a form of resistance because of the Chicana movement, which I learned while spending time in California. It has to do a lot with the identity of Mexican-Americans and the notion that we’re not from there, we’re not from here. But now we’re starting to say we belong in both worlds.
As a child of Mexican immigrants, what do you wish Hoosiers knew or understood about Mexico or the life of a Chicana artist?
What I would like for Hoosiers to try to understand about Mexican people and Mexican-Americans and Latinos all around is that we’re thriving here in the Midwest and everywhere in the U.S. This has been my home for 30 years. We’re not going anywhere. There’s so much beauty in our culture, traditions, food, language, mannerisms, fashion. Accept us for who we are and understand that we have contributed so much to the fabric of the U.S. We were here well before Europeans. Our lands were taken away, yet we continue to be here. It’s about acceptance, full acceptance, and seeing us with different eyes. That’s one thing I’m always hoping for: to work with communities that finally accept us for being here and for bringing the beauty and richness of our culture.
Any exciting plans for the future?
I am looking forward to visiting Lesotho next year as part of the U.S. Art in Embassies’ Artist Exchange. | https://www.indianapolismonthly.com/lifestyle/fashion/beatriz-vasquez-art-of-fashion | 2022-06-30T15:37:19Z | https://www.indianapolismonthly.com/lifestyle/fashion/beatriz-vasquez-art-of-fashion | false |
NORD's patient centric conference showcased inspiring individuals, expert resources and presentations, and a festive celebration at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
CLEVELAND, June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- This week, the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD®) hosted the Living Rare, Living Stronger NORD Patient and Family Forum, NORD's annual family focused conference. 300 enthusiastic attendees from across the globe (and 110 more virtually) convened to share inspiring stories and to forge community connections through networking opportunities.
Featuring content on the most critical rare issues, including access to treatment, ableism and equity, the role of a caregiver, and medical breakthroughs, the 2022 Living Rare, Living Stronger Patient and Family Forum was a strong, safe, and successful return to live gatherings for the rare disease community.
"I have a rare disease, but I am not my rare disease. My parents upon receiving my diagnosis could have been afraid and despaired, but instead they fought and advocated. Knowing I am able to make an impact on someone else's life in the rare disease community, it keeps me moving forward." - 2022 Living Rare Forum speaker Kyle Underwood, MHA, Program Manager at the Cleveland Clinic
"I am thankful to NORD for allowing me to share my voice and I look forward to the next opportunity to participate in any way that would be helpful. Please pass on my kudos to NORD leadership for the terrific coordination of all of the forum activities, from beginning to end, by NORD team members. Over my 40+ years of business, ministry, and non-profit, this was one of the finest run conferences I have attended, and the absolute friendliest and most helpful staff. As a presenter and attendee, I was blown away!" - 2022 Living Rare Forum speaker Jim Kuhn, Patient Advocate, Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research
The closing keynote address, "A Mother's Story: How My Son's Life Inspired Me to Make a Difference" was presented by Patricia Burks, MA, RN, CCRC, Director of Clinical Trial Affairs at the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Burks' powerful words told her family's emotional story facing a rare diagnosis and perfectly encapsulated the inspiring series of plenaries and panels that attendees experienced both in-person and online.
"Every advancement in cystic fibrosis was done because cystic fibrosis patients participated in clinical trials. Every one of them. There is no one else that will move science forward for your disease. These drugs, these compounds, they have to be studied by people who suffer from the disease…. There is no limit to what you can do."
The Living Rare Forum continued into the evening with the Rare Impact Awards, a celebration of the outstanding individuals, organizations, and industry innovators and their exceptional work benefiting the rare disease community. Presented live at the incredible Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the heart of Cleveland, the event was emceed by Art Alexakis, Grammy nominated singer-songwriter and guitarist of the rock band Everclear. During the ceremony, caregivers, advocates, patients, and leaders were honored with Rare Impact Awards, and companies received 2022 Industry Innovation Awards for the latest lifesaving breakthrough therapies and treatments.
The Abbey S. Meyers Leadership Award was presented to The Sickle Cell Disease Association of America, the Public Health Leadership Award was given to Dr. Peter Hotez, MD, PhD and Dr. Maria Elena Bottazzi, PhD, and the Lifetime Achievement Award was awarded to Dr. Marshall Summar, Chief of the Division of Genetics and Metabolism at Children's National Hospital. There was also a special tribute to NORD's 2020 and 2021 Rare Impact Award honorees, who had been previously celebrated virtually.
"NORD began as a collective of patients and caregivers for the Orphan Drug Act back in the early 1980s, and we continue to advocate for the nearly 30 million Americans and 300 million people worldwide affected by rare disease," said Pam Gavin, Executive Vice President of NORD in the closing remarks at the Rare Impact Awards. "Together, we will all contribute new chapters to this rich history with the hope that one day, we will eliminate the struggle of rare diseases once and for all."
All content from the Living Rare Forum is available on-demand until Thursday, July 7. Access is free for members of the media. Register now for full access, to revisit lessons learned, and hear from all key experts and speakers.
Sponsors for the weekend included gold sponsor, Horizon, as well as silver sponsors Apellis, Biogen, Bristol Myers Squibb, Genentech, Incyte, Insmed, PharmaEssentia, Takeda, and Travere Therapeutics.
The National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD) is the leading independent advocacy organization representing all patients and families affected by rare diseases in the United States. NORD began as a small group of patient advocates that formed a coalition to unify and mobilize support to pass the Orphan Drug Act of 1983. Since then, the organization has led the way in voicing the needs of the rare disease community, driving supportive policies, furthering education, advancing medical research, and providing patient and family services for those who need them most. Together with over 300 disease-specific member organizations, more than 17,000 Rare Action Network advocates across all 50 states, and national and global partners, NORD delivers on its mission to improve the lives of those impacted by rare diseases.

Luton war memorial unveiled for Vauxhall factory workers
- Published
A war memorial honouring Vauxhall workers who died during World War One and Two has been unveiled.
The restored plaques have been placed on a purpose-built wall on the site of the former Luton factory, which is being redeveloped.
The factory was bombed by the Luftwaffe in 1940, killing 39 workers and injuring more than 40.
David Cook, whose grandfather Thomas Cook worked there and died during the war, said it was a proud moment.
The war memorial, in front of newly built blocks of flats, was created by developers Strawberry Star.
Part of the planning permission - to allow the old factory site to be developed into about 1,000 homes, a hotel, offices convention centre, and shops - was for it to be rebuilt on the site.
The former Vauxhall factory, on Kimpton Road, started production in 1905 and closed in 2002.
Mr Cook said his grandfather was called up in 1917, when he worked as a cost clerk at the factory, and died six months later.
"I'm very proud that his name is up there, that Vauxhall, at least, had acknowledged that he worked for them and put his name on the plaque for memory," he said.
Ian Coomber, who wrote Vauxhall - Britain's Oldest Car Maker, worked at the plant from 1963 to 2001.
"The Luftwaffe wasn't targeting Luton but they were being chased by the RAF and they dumped their bombs and nearly 200 bombs fell from Luton airport to Whipsnade, it was totally at random," he said.
"Fifty nine of those bombs fell on the Vauxhall plant and huge damage was done in V Block, the engineering block, and that's where most of the deaths incurred."
He said it was "a disastrous day" which caused production to stop for six days.
Mike Roberts, a former Vauxhall worker, said the developers had "made a brilliant job renovating the war memorial".
"Luton and Vauxhall motors played a significant part in winning the Second World War," he said.
That included producing thousands of Bedford trucks, while it was the home to the Churchill tank, made the side of Gerry cans and steel helmets and ammunition, he added.

Leading Duchenne Organization Submits Duchenne for Consideration for Nationwide Newborn Screening
WASHINGTON, June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD), a nonprofit organization leading the fight to end Duchenne muscular dystrophy (Duchenne), announced that the organization submitted a nomination package to add Duchenne to the Recommended Uniform Screening Panel (RUSP) to the Advisory Committee on Heritable Disorders in Newborns and Children (ACHDNC). The RUSP is a list of disorders that the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recommends for states to screen as part of their newborn screening (NBS) programs. Having a disorder be added to the RUSP shows that there is clear evidence of benefit to the babies and their families for newborn screening of that condition.
PPMD has been building the infrastructure for early identification of newborns with Duchenne—including a robust therapeutic pipeline, regulatory infrastructure, and clinical care network and guidelines—since its inception and preparing for the implementation of NBS for Duchenne for almost a decade. A mandatory element of this process was the development and support of a large pilot, which was completed in October of 2021. That pilot screened more than 36,000 babies born in New York State over two years. Four babies were confirmed to have Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy, and one baby was identified as a carrier female.
The New York State pilot was funded and led by a consortium of Duchenne industry partners and PPMD with a commitment to early diagnosis and intervention in Duchenne. Consortium members include PerkinElmer, Pfizer, Inc., PTC Therapeutics, Sarepta Therapeutics, Solid Biosciences, Wave Life Sciences, and PPMD. The pilot was guided by a Steering Committee comprised of representatives from healthcare professional groups, expert clinicians, and Duchenne stakeholder communities including the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the EveryLife Foundation for Rare Diseases, the Genetic Alliance's Expecting Health, the Newborn Screening Translational Research Network (NBSTRN), and New York State.
The RUSP package submission will now initiate the ACHDNC's review process. In this review, the ACHDNC will analyze the evidence presented about the benefit of NBS for Duchenne. Considerations will include the availability of an effective test to identify newborns, the availability and need for treating young children with Duchenne, and the ability of state laboratories to do the screening. The review process for RUSP consideration typically takes more than a year and requires two key votes of experts in NBS to move forward.
Niki Armstrong, PPMD's Newborn Screening Program Manager explains that the submission of the RUSP nomination package is a great achievement, and another exciting leap towards the organization's goal of having Duchenne added to NBS programs across the country. Ms. Armstrong says, "While every state chooses which diseases are included in that state's newborn screening panel, many states use the RUSP to guide their decisions. Most states also have their own separate process for evaluating which disorder to add, and some states may choose to screen for diseases even if they are not on the RUSP. Advocacy at the state level will be important to PPMD's ongoing NBS efforts to promote implementation within each state."
The RUSP nomination has been led by PPMD, with the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) as a co-sponsor. Recognizing the need for early diagnosis, many other partners within the community including other patient advocacy and industry organizations have provided letters of support. The RTI Early Check DMD pilot, a pilot in North Carolina led by the nonprofit research institute RTI International with funding from the MDA and Sarepta Therapeutics, and the Brigham Women's Hospital supplemental DMD newborn screening program in Boston with funding from CureDuchenne, have each contributed important data and expertise to this effort. Each pilot utilizes a slightly different approach to screening and following babies. This is important, as states often use different methods or different screening algorithms. Demonstrating that different screening algorithms work in different places provides evidence that newborn screening for Duchenne will work in diverse clinical settings.
The development of a RUSP nomination package is an intense effort that requires reviewing and compiling evidence on all therapies. Multiple workgroups composed of experts in Duchenne, newborn screening, and pediatrics have contributed to these efforts over the last year. PPMD is incredibly grateful to all the experts in Duchenne and NBS who have contributed to these efforts.
Founding President and CEO, Pat Furlong reflects on the importance of the organization's RUSP submission, "This is a hopeful time in Duchenne therapy development. We have a robust experimental therapy pipeline targeting multiple physiological pathways. Yet therapeutic interventions are likely to be optimally effective the earlier they can be offered. Newborn screening is the most effective way to ensure that infants with Duchenne are diagnosed early, when therapies will likely be the most beneficial."
Ms. Armstrong goes on to explain how implementing NBS for Duchenne is critical to eliminating the long, expensive, and unnecessary diagnostic odyssey that most families experience, "Despite many efforts, it still takes on average at least two years of uncertainty and concern for a family to get a diagnosis of Duchenne for their child. We know that there are families where the process has taken much, much longer and that where a person lives and where they get care also influence this. Individuals with Duchenne who are diagnosed at older ages have less benefit from approved therapies and fewer opportunities to participate in research and clinical trials. Newborn screening is universal, which means it is equitable— it will ensure every baby is identified in time to consider treatments or participate in clinical trials."
"We are exceptionally grateful to the families, experts, and partners who have helped us to get to this point in our newborn screening efforts," shares Ms. Furlong. "Obviously no one wants their child to be diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, but I am a firm believer that knowledge is power in our fight to end the progression of this fatal disorder. Recommendation to the RUSP will enable Duchenne newborn screening to be performed across the country, resulting in early diagnosis, early intervention, and most importantly, the best possible outcomes for these babies."

STONY BROOK, N.Y. and DENVER, June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Softheon, a leading cloud-based eligibility, enrollment, and billing provider for health plans and government agencies, has acquired NextHealth Technologies, an AI-powered SaaS-based healthcare analytics platform. With the acquisition, Softheon will be better able to help health plans sell and deliver efficient, high-quality care through synergies in the companies' respective products and solutions. Health plans cans save tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars on medical and operational costs through Softheon's growing suite of solutions.
The acquisition significantly enhances Softheon's talent density, enhancing go-to-market strategies, engineering processes, and leadership. The overall speed and capability of NextHealth's AI solutions will increase through Softheon's propriety technology.
Softheon CEO, Eugene Sayan, will continue to lead the company. Eric Grossman, NextHealth's founder, has become the combined organization's Chief Commercial Officer, supporting Sayan's vision and the company's growth objectives.
Sayan shared, "Artificial Intelligence in healthcare is here, and we are seeing the incredible impact it can have on both members and carriers. Our goal has been to make healthcare more affordable, accessible, and plentiful, and we see AI as a clear path forward to bring efficiencies to our carrier partners. This acquisition is a testament to Softheon's commitment to helping health plans tackle some of their biggest challenges, such as population health and the movement toward consumerism in healthcare."
NextHealth Technologies, founded in 2013, offers a cloud-based platform that utilizes rigorous methodologies and standardized processes to enable health plan customers to identify impactable populations, measure which clinical initiatives work best for whom, and integrate data-driven decisions into the workflow in real-time to derive the highest ROI from their analytics investments.
"We are thrilled to be part of Softheon's continued growth and expansion," shared Grossman, "This is an incredible opportunity for our respective teams. NextHealth's technical and service staff will continue to build and support cutting-edge applications of AI for carrier member populations with the support and resources of a larger company. We see a bright future for our health plan partners as we bring those tools to bear to deliver significant value and reduced costs."
Softheon's purchase of NextHealth is expected to bring economies of scale and operating leverage to the combined company. NextHealth investors, Norwest Venture Partners and TT Capital Partners, will become investors in Softheon and expressed excitement on the prospects of the transaction.
"Together, NextHealth and Softheon can provide better care at lower medical and administrative costs while advancing the application of AI in healthcare." said Casper de Clercq, General Partner at Norwest Venture Partners.
"The acquisition of NextHealth will enhance Softheon's AI capabilities for health plans," said Ryan Engle, partner at TT Capital Partners, "Member data spanning shopping and enrollment through claims creates opportunities for proprietary methodologies to shape member behavior and create value for plans."
Softheon has continued its growth and expansion, having completed more than 20 million enrollments since the inception of the Affordable Care Act, through public and private exchange technology. The acquisition comes after the company introduced its first foray into AI by creating a machine learning algorithm that predicts which members are at risk of letting their insurance coverage lapse, as featured in Bloomberg Law.
Founded in 2000, Softheon's Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and Business Process-as-a-Service (BPaaS) solutions solve complex challenges for health plans and government health agencies. Currently, Softheon's solutions serve 8 State agencies and over 90 health plans.

Softheon is an Agent, Broker, and Merchant of Record that facilitates health insurance enrollment, administration, and renewal.

Leaked Disney Footage: Hidden Sex Message Found in New Kids Cartoon - Can You Spot It?
Move over, Mickey Mouse. Make way for Disney’s newest cartoon character, Baymax, a transmasculine inflatable robot.
After watching the leaked footage from the new Disney+ children’s series “Baymax,” one has to wonder what part of “maximizing shareholder value” the Walt Disney Co.’s board of directors is missing.
The price of Disney stock has fallen by 50 percent in the past year, in large part due to management’s embrace of woke ideology.
The video from the “Big Hero 6” spinoff show was obtained and shared on social media by Christopher Rufo, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute.
In the clip, Baymax is inside a supermarket trying to decide which pads to buy for his classmate who has just gotten her first period.
Baymax approaches a female shopper and asks her which product she would recommend. Taken aback at first, she hands the robot the box she was about to toss into her carriage. They are quickly joined by other shoppers, who all offer advice to the robot.
The “hidden” message in this bizarre video is a transgender person — not-so-subtly wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the trans flag — who presents a box of pads to Baymax, explaining, “I always get the ones with wings.”
Rufo — who earlier this year shared leaked clips of Disney executives boasting about their “not-at-all-secret gay agenda” and their push to create “canonical trans characters” — notes the Baymax clip is “all part of Disney’s plan to re-engineer the discourse around kids and sexuality.”
EXCLUSIVE: I’ve obtained leaked video from Disney’s upcoming show “Baymax,” which promotes the transgender flag and the idea that men can have periods to children as young as two years old.
It’s all part of Disney’s plan to re-engineer the discourse around kids and sexuality. pic.twitter.com/y1ATnKCEce
— Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ (@realchrisrufo) June 28, 2022
Disney is pushing the trans agenda onto children as young as two through animation. This leaked footage is full of trans propaganda. Is anyone else confused besides the first woman in this clip?
Why is the company trying to teach America’s children that boys menstruate and if you’re unhappy with your gender, you can change it?
It no longer even tries to disguise its agenda.
In an article about the new series, the left-wing Daily Beast tells readers, “Conservative idiots are losing their minds over a scene in ‘Baymax’ that includes a transmasculine character shopping in the tampon aisle. The rest of the internet is celebrating.”
The author considers this “a rare and refreshing effort to promote inclusivity in children’s television.”
I see it as stupid and unnecessary.
It continues: “If this wasn’t enough to make you fall in love with the pillowish robot, in another episode, Baymax convinces two young gentlemen to go on a date with one another by analyzing their attraction towards each other. ‘Your pulse and heartbeat have quickened,’ Baymax says, after one asks the other out to dinner. ‘Your pituitary gland is secreting hormones,’ he continues, before he’s cut off by a thoroughly embarrassed man.”
Baymax says gay rights. 😌🏳️🌈🎉 #Baymax #BigHero6 pic.twitter.com/GK28vZVelr
— quorra @ BAYMAX! 🏳️🌈 (@lucaspaguro) June 29, 2022
Have these people lost their minds?
Here’s how one Twitter user responded to Rufo’s post: “Saying that periods are about sexuality is what sexualizes children. It’s a bodily function, and we should talk about it more and be embarrassed by it less.”

How enlightened she is.
My response to her is why is it OK to lie to our kids? Imagine these confused children 20 years down the road insisting to their Chinese counterparts that not only do men menstruate, but they can get pregnant too.
Disney’s walk on the woke side has already cost the company a fortune. The entertainment giant appears to have forgotten that its customer base consists of people of all political stripes.
It appears dead set on pandering to its far-left clientele at the expense of what is likely a much larger and more profitable group of parents who think the company has jumped the shark.

Owner of 13 Businesses Pulls His Company from Chicago Amid Crime Crisis: 'Enough Is Enough'
Chicago used to be his kind of town. No more, says Gary Rabine, who is joining the list of people and corporations moving their businesses out of the crime-drenched city.
Amid a 35 percent increase in crime over a year ago, business exits are on the rise, according to Fox News.

— Sun-Times Breaking (@CSTbreaking) June 27, 2022
Billionaire Ken Griffin is moving his hedge fund firm, Citadel, out of the Windy City. Caterpillar, the construction equipment company, is forsaking its Chicago-area headquarters to move to Texas. Boeing is also moving out, leaving Chicago for Virginia.
Next in line is Rabine, the founder of the Rabine Group and owner of 13 businesses. His road-paving company is hitting the highway and getting out of Chicago, he said.
“We would do thousands of jobs a year in the city, but as we got robbed more, my people operating rollers and pavers we got robbed, our equipment would get stolen in broad daylight and there would usually be a gun involved, and it got expensive and it got dangerous,” Rabine told Fox News this week.
The additional cost of security and insurance meant jobs cost “twice as much as they should be,” he said, noting that work done for utilities ultimately meant ratepayers who could not afford it bore the extra costs.
“What happened eventually is we said enough is enough,” Rabine said.
“We stopped doing work down there, we stopped doing work for the gas company, the electric company, the south side, the west side, and eventually all over Chicago. Those companies now work in other places. They work over the border in Wisconsin, the outer suburbs of Chicago, where they feel safer,” he said.

Rabine said public safety is the foundation for any company to succeed.
“If you want a great culture in your company, you have to have people that love being on the team and they don’t want to live in a violent area. They don’t want to live in a place where their kids can’t walk to school safely and their wives and kids can’t go shopping in a beautiful environment like Michigan Avenue, which was once the safest place you could ever go shopping,” he said.
Rabine had two reasons Chicago continues to decline — Democratic Mayor Lori Lightfoot and Democratic Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker.
“Lightfoot is a lousy leader,” he told Fox News. “She doesn’t stand up for the community at all.”
“We have to get this governor out,” Rabine said. “He’s a socialist Democrat, a lousy leader, and a terrible American.”
In fact, he ran as a candidate to replace Pritzker but finished fourth in the Republican gubernatorial primary on Tuesday.
This is why I’m running for Governor. 🇺🇸https://t.co/G0UnZRA8jm #Twill pic.twitter.com/b6GcRyEXPj

Griffin was clear about the impact of crime when he said his hedge fund was leaving town.
“If people aren’t safe here, they’re not going to live here,” he told The Wall Street Journal. “I’ve had multiple colleagues mugged at gunpoint. I’ve had a colleague stabbed on the way to work. Countless issues of burglary. I mean, that’s a really difficult backdrop with which to draw talent to your city from.”

Here's Why Nordstrom (JWN) is a Strong Value Stock
It doesn't matter your age or experience: taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for all investors. Luckily, Zacks Premium offers several different ways to do both.
Featuring daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, full access to the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens, the research service can help you become a smarter, more self-assured investor.
Zacks Premium includes access to the Zacks Style Scores as well.
What are the Zacks Style Scores?
The Zacks Style Scores, developed alongside the Zacks Rank, are complementary indicators that rate stocks based on three widely-followed investing methodologies; they also help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.
Based on their value, growth, and momentum characteristics, each stock is assigned a rating of A, B, C, D, or F. The better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform; an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on.
The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:
Value Score
Finding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value, are what value investors like to focus on. So, the Value Style Score takes into account ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and a host of other multiples to highlight the most attractive and discounted stocks.
Growth Score
While good value is important, growth investors are more focused on a company's financial strength and health, and its future outlook. The Growth Style Score takes projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow into account to uncover stocks that will see long-term, sustainable growth.
Momentum Score
Momentum traders and investors live by the saying "the trend is your friend." This investing style is all about taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Employing factors like one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, the Momentum Style Score can indicate favorable times to build a position in high-momentum stocks.
VGM Score
If you like to use all three kinds of investing, then the VGM Score is for you. It's a combination of all Style Scores, and is an important indicator to use with the Zacks Rank. The VGM Score rates each stock on their shared weighted styles, narrowing down the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum.
How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank
A proprietary stock-rating model, the Zacks Rank utilizes the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings outlook, to help investors create a successful portfolio.
Investors can count on the Zacks Rank's success, with #1 (Strong Buy) stocks producing an unmatched +25.41% average annual return since 1988, more than double the S&P 500's performance. But the model rates a large number of stocks, and there are over 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, plus another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.
But it can feel overwhelming to pick the right stocks for you and your investing goals with over 800 top-rated stocks to choose from.
That's where the Style Scores come in.
You want to make sure you're buying stocks with the highest likelihood of success, and to do that, you'll need to pick stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B. If you like a stock that only as a #3 (Hold) rank, it should also have Scores of A or B to guarantee as much upside potential as possible.
Since the Scores were created to work together with the Zacks Rank, the direction of a stock's earnings estimate revisions should be a key factor when choosing which stocks to buy.
For instance, a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one that boasts Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings forecast, and a much greater likelihood its share price will decline as well.
Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.
Stock to Watch: Nordstrom (JWN)
Founded in 1901 as a retail shoe business, and headquartered in Seattle, Washington, Nordstrom Inc. is a leading fashion specialty retailer in the United States. The company offers an extensive selection of both branded and private-label merchandise, which are positioned in the upscale segment of the industry.
JWN is a #3 (Hold) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of B.
It also boasts a Value Style Score of A thanks to attractive valuation metrics like a forward P/E ratio of 6.97; value investors should take notice.
Five analysts revised their earnings estimate higher in the last 60 days for fiscal 2023, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.07 to $3.18 per share. JWN also boasts an average earnings surprise of 25.3%.
With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Value and VGM Style Scores, JWN should be on investors' short list.
Zacks Names "Single Best Pick to Double"
From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all.
It’s a little-known chemical company that’s up 65% over last year, yet still dirt cheap. With unrelenting demand, soaring 2022 earnings estimates, and $1.5 billion for repurchasing shares, retail investors could jump in at any time.
This company could rival or surpass other recent Zacks’ Stocks Set to Double like Boston Beer Company which shot up +143.0% in little more than 9 months and NVIDIA which boomed +175.9% in one year.

Foil balloons, fireworks and power lines don't mix
AKRON, Ohio, June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- With the Fourth of July fast approaching and the summer months upon us, FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE: FE) is reminding the public to be cautious of potential electrical hazards associated with popular outdoor activities. Celebrating responsibly will help keep customers safe and the electricity flowing reliably this season.
"As we prepare for parades, barbeques and outdoor fun, we encourage everyone to keep electrical safety top of mind to ensure a safe holiday and summer season," said Chad Stoneking, director of Safety Operations at FirstEnergy. "Enjoying the season responsibly can also help prevent unnecessary disruptions to your electric service during a time when many people rely on their air conditioning to stay cool and comfortable."
Foil balloons and fireworks are two of the most common and festive ways to celebrate Independence Day. However, they can create safety issues and cause major damage to the electric system when they are used near power lines and electrical equipment.
While foil balloons have increased in popularity as holiday and party decorations, they continue to cause many power outages because their metallic coating conducts electricity when they drift into power lines or electrical equipment. February typically marks the onset of a dramatic increase in outages caused by adrift metallic balloons that peaks in June or July, when warm weather takes celebrations and picnics outdoors. Over recent months, foil balloons were to blame for nearly 60 power outages across FirstEnergy's six-state service area.
Customers should securely tie helium-filled foil balloons to a weight that is heavy enough to prevent them from floating away, and then puncture and deflate them once they are no longer in use because they can stay inflated for several weeks. Never release them into the sky.
FirstEnergy also encourages customers to leave the large, colorful fireworks displays to the professionals. Extra caution should be used when handling fireworks, firecrackers and rockets at home, and they should only be lit in open areas where no power lines are in sight. Should a firework accidentally come in contact with a power line or equipment, leave it alone and immediately call 911 to report the problem.
To help ensure holidays and celebrations are enjoyed responsibly, customers should keep the following outdoor safety tips in mind:
- Never fly kites, motorized airplanes or drones near power lines. While kites almost always use cotton string, wet cotton string can conduct electricity as well as metal string.
- Never attempt to retrieve any type of object that gets caught in a power line or drifts or crashes into a substation. Leave it alone and immediately call FirstEnergy at 888-544-4877 to report the problem.
- Keep electrical devices and cords at least 10-feet away from water sources such as pools and spas. When possible, use battery-operated electrical devices outside.
- All outdoor receptacles should be covered to keep them dry. This is especially important around pools, spas and other summer water activities.
- When hauling a boat, make sure it clears overhead power lines and stay away from power lines when sailing.
- Never climb a tree that is growing near or into overhead lines or near a utility pole. Also, never climb utility poles or other infrastructure, in particular transmission towers or substation fences. These activities are extremely hazardous and can result in very severe injuries.
- Stay far away from a downed or low-hanging power line. Always assume any downed wires are energized and dangerous. Report them ASAP by calling 911.
Visit www.firstenergycorp.com/publicsafety to learn about FirstEnergy's "Stop. Look. Live." safety campaign to educate the public about staying safe around electricity and near power lines and equipment.
FirstEnergy is dedicated to integrity, safety, reliability and operational excellence. Its 10 electric distribution companies form one of the nation's largest investor-owned electric systems, serving customers in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, West Virginia, Maryland and New York. The company's transmission subsidiaries operate approximately 24,000 miles of transmission lines that connect the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic regions.

Partnerships help FLIPANY make a difference in the local South Florida community
DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla., June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Florida Introduces Physical Activity and Nutrition to Youth (FLIPANY) is honored to have the support of various local and national partners. The Healthy Students Healthy Community Partnership (HSHC) was developed to improve the health of Deerfield Beach Middle School students and families. As part of this initiative, FLIPANY serves as the lead agency and has received a two-year grant to create change and focus on improving the health of the Deerfield Beach community, which was one of 20 communities from 11 states that benefit from the collaboration.
The Healthiest Cities and Counties Challenge funds the HSHC partnership, the American Public Health Association, the Aetna Foundation, and the National Association of Counties and Healthy Places by Design. FLIPANY is proud that the local communities have supported the HSHC partnership, allowing the program to flourish.
Along with our national partners, FLIPANY has had the pleasure of engaging in two outstanding local partnerships: Farm Share and the Children's Services Council of Broward County. Farm Share is a Florida-based nonprofit food bank that provides families in need with fresh produce and healthy food to which they may not otherwise have access. Children's Services Council of Broward County has made it its mission to provide Broward County children with the resources necessary to become healthy and responsible adults.
The collaboration between FLIPANY and HSHC led to several parent- and youth-led projects, such as creating a school-based garden, composting on campus, and forming the Deerfield Beach Middle School Free Neighborhood Market. Over the last six months, the market has provided families and children with approximately 500 pounds of fresh produce per distribution through a pantry-based distribution model. It will be open to the public, beginning on June 23 and continuing every Thursday from 3-5 PM throughout the summer
The market has had a significant impact on the lives of the Deerfield Beach community. Parents and staff members alike have been able to bring healthy and fresh food home for their families. FLIPANY and HSHC have been praised for their weekly distributions by recipients. Families have been introduced to different varieties of fruits and vegetables, providing households with new ingredients to utilize in their recipes and creating more diverse and nourishing meals. Participating in the FLIPANY program has provided information and knowledge about making healthier wellness decisions.
Incredibly, the market has had the opportunity to reach people beyond South Florida. Recently, a family of three from Kentucky lost everything due to a tornado and came to Deerfield Beach to stay with family in the area. The mom expressed relief knowing that receiving a weekly food supply eases the burden on her family.
FLIPANY, HSHC, Children's Services Council of Broward County, and Farm Share proudly provide families across South Florida access to fresh and healthy foods.

WASHINGTON, June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- AACC, a global scientific and medical professional organization dedicated to better health through laboratory medicine, is pleased to announce that the impact factor of its journal Clinical Chemistry has risen to 12.167 in the 2021 Clarivate Journal Citation Reports. This impact factor places Clinical Chemistry in the top 2% of 21,430 ranked academic journals and reaffirms that it is the top journal on medical laboratory technology—a position it has held for more than a decade.
Laboratory medicine professionals have played a vital role in managing the coronavirus pandemic by developing and performing tests for the virus, and by ensuring patient access to these tests. As the most trusted and authoritative journal in laboratory medicine, Clinical Chemistry has supported this work by disseminating essential research on all aspects of coronavirus testing. Clinical laboratory testing is also key to diagnosing and managing a broad range of other conditions—from diabetes to cancer—and the journal has continued to publish peer-reviewed papers that drive testing forward for all of these diseases.
Clinical Chemistry's high impact factor is a testament to the innovative and rigorous nature of this research, as is the journal's 2021 immediacy index of 2.7, which places it in the top 3% of all academic journals. A journal's impact factor is based on the number of times articles published in the journal are cited over a two-year period, while the immediacy index is determined by the journal citations in a single calendar year. Both are calculated by Clarivate, a recognized authority for evaluating the usefulness of a journal.

Russian lawmakers approve bill on banning foreign media
MOSCOW (AP) — The lower house of Russia’s parliament has given final approval to a bill that would allow the banning of foreign news media in response to other countries taking actions against Russian news outlets. The Kremlin-controlled State Duma approved the bill on its third and final reading on Wednesday. The upper house of parliament is set to rubber-stamp the measure before Russian President Vladimir Putin signs it into law. Russia has repeatedly complained that Western countries were improperly restricting Russian media by banning their operation or denying visas to their journalists. Russia’s Foreign Ministry warned journalists for American media this month that they could be denied renewal of their visas and accreditation. | https://kion546.com/news/ap-national-news/2022/06/30/russian-lawmakers-approve-bill-on-banning-foreign-media-2/ | 2022-06-30T15:43:21Z | https://kion546.com/news/ap-national-news/2022/06/30/russian-lawmakers-approve-bill-on-banning-foreign-media-2/ | true |

Virtual event draws thousands to urge Congress to improve access to care for people with lupus
WASHINGTON, June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Lupus Foundation of America's 2022 Digital Lupus Advocacy Summit, which took place June 27-29, united thousands of lupus advocates from across the country to learn from experts in the lupus field about the latest in lupus research, advocacy and care, and included advocating to members of Congress to join the fight against this terrible disease.
During hundreds of phone and video meetings, and within thousands of emails and social media messages, advocates urged members of Congress to support policies that will improve access to high-quality health care, including:
- The Safe Step Act (HR 2163/S 464), which would prohibit dangerous step therapy, or "fail first" policies, and allow people with lupus timely access to the medications prescribed by their doctor;
- The HELP Copays Act (HR 5801), legislation to ban so-called "co-pay accumulators" and allow the financial assistance many people receive to count towards their health plan's cost-sharing requirements, including their deductible
- Establishing an out-of-pocket cap and a smoothing mechanism in Medicare Part D to limit patient costs and allow them to spread costs over the course of the year.
Timely access to quality care, including the latest treatments for lupus, is critical for people living with the disease. Lupus patients and their physicians must have the ability to make decisions that meet their medical needs and are not dictated by policies that increase patient costs and limit choice. Insurance company tactics like step therapy and copay accumulator programs create needless delays and affordability concerns that can and do lead people with lupus to miss treatments, or worse, forgo treatment altogether. Affordability is similarly a concern in Medicare Part D, whose 48 million beneficiaries often face high costs without any out-of-pocket cap or the ability to spread high payments over the year.
Additionally, advocates emphasized to their members of Congress the importance of funding lupus research and education programs in fiscal year 2023.
Shannon Lee, who is living with lupus and serves as the Lupus Foundation of America Southern California Region Advocacy co-chair and is attending her fourth Summit shared, "Lupus impacts everyone differently. In order to improve our individual situations, we must actively participate in solutions that address the many challenges presented by this debilitating disease. The Foundation's Advocacy Summit provides us with the platform to learn, connect and advocate for ourselves, including advocating for support from our members of Congress. Our voices at the Summit can aid in improving care not only for ourselves, but for those yet to be diagnosed."
"The Lupus Foundation of America Digital Lupus Advocacy Summit brings together the largest gathering of people with lupus and provides them with an immersive experience where they can learn about new lupus treatments on the horizon as well as important resources and support services that can help them live a better life with lupus. The Summit also empowers each advocate to use their voice and reach out to their members of Congress to urge them to support policies that increase funding for lupus research and education programs, and improve access to high-quality healthcare," shared Stevan W. Gibson, president & CEO, Lupus Foundation of America.
In addition to the support of our donors and Board members for helping to make the 2022 Digital Lupus Advocacy Summit possible, we greatly appreciate the unrestricted grants from the following organizations: AstraZeneca, Aurinia Pharmaceuticals, Bristol Myers Squib, Exagen, Genentech, GlaxoSmithKline, Horizon Therapeutics, PhRMA.
Lupus is an unpredictable and misunderstood autoimmune disease that ravages different parts of the body. It is difficult to diagnose, hard to live with and a challenge to treat. Lupus is a cruel mystery because it is hidden from view and undefined, has a range of symptoms, strikes without warning, and has no known cause and no known cure. Its health effects can range from a skin rash to a heart attack. Lupus is debilitating and destructive and can be fatal, yet research on lupus remains underfunded relative to diseases of similar scope and devastation.
The Lupus Foundation of America is the national force devoted to solving the mystery of lupus, one of the world's cruelest, most unpredictable and devastating diseases, while giving caring support to those who suffer from its brutal impact. Through a comprehensive program of research, education, and advocacy, we lead the fight to improve the quality of life for all people affected by lupus.

(The Hill) – The Supreme Court on Thursday curbed the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) ability to regulate climate change, setting limits on how the agency can deal with power plants.
In a 6-3 ruling, the justices determined that Congress did not authorize the EPA to induce a shift toward cleaner energy sources using the approach that an Obama-era regulation sought to.
“Congress did not grant EPA…the authority to devise emissions caps based on the generation shifting approach the Agency took in the Clean Power Plan,” the majority wrote.
The ruling was spurred by an appeal to a decision last year that struck down a Trump-era power plant rule.
In appealing that decision, West Virginia asked the court to consider whether the EPA has the authority to try to push the entire system away from coal and reshape the country’s electric grid.
The Obama administration tried to regulate power plants on a system-wide basis through a combination of both improvements to existing coal plants and a shift away from it toward renewables and natural gas.
But, in 2016, the Supreme Court put a temporary halt on that regulation, blocking it from taking effect. it was eventually replaced by a Trump-era rule that only included efficiency improvements for coal plants and no shifts to other energy sources.
The Obama rule was considered to be significantly better at mitigating climate change than the Trump rule, with it expected to cut 415 million short tons of carbon dioxide by 2030 compared to its successor’s 11 million short tons.
And legal experts recently told The Hill that preventing the agency from using certain climate tools could result in regulations that allow more planet-warming emissions overall.
The Biden administration is preparing its own power plant regulations and EPA Administrator Michael Regan has said previously that it was waiting for the Supreme Court’s decision before moving forward.
“We’re going to be ready to go as soon as the Supreme Court rules,” Regan told Congress in April. | https://www.localsyr.com/news/national/supreme-court-curbs-epas-climate-powers/ | 2022-06-30T15:45:36Z | https://www.localsyr.com/news/national/supreme-court-curbs-epas-climate-powers/ | true |

Boris Becker's sons Noah and Elias visit their fallen tennis ace father for the first time in prison - after Novak Djokovic said he was supporting his jailed former coach's family
- Disgraced tennis star Boris Becker has been visited by his sons and girlfriend in jail for the first time today
- Noah Becker, 28, and Elias Becker, 22, accompanied Lillian De Carvalho Monteiro to HMP Huntercombe
- Former world number one Becker was jailed for hiding £2.5million of assets and loans to avoid paying debts
- The 54-year-old German was declared bankrupt on June 21, 2017 - owing creditors almost £50million
- Serb star Novak Djokovic is supporting his shamed coach's family and hosted Noah in his player's box
Disgraced tennis star Boris Becker has been visited by his sons and girlfriend in jail for the first time today.
Noah Becker, 28, and his younger brother Elias Becker, 22, accompanied Lillian De Carvalho Monteiro to see the ex-Wimbledon champion in HMP Huntercombe near Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire as he serves a two-and-a-half year sentence for fraud.
Former world number one Becker, who has provided commentary for the BBC's SW19 coverage since 2002, was jailed in April for hiding £2.5million of assets and loans to avoid paying his debts.
The 54-year-old German was declared bankrupt on June 21, 2017 - owing creditors almost £50million - over an unpaid loan of more than £3million on his estate in Mallorca.
Becker, who has lived in the UK since 2012, is expected to serve half of his sentence behind bars.
Serb star Novak Djokovic told a Wimbledon press conference that he is supporting his shamed coach's family, and has been hosting Becker's girlfriend and son Noah in his player's box at The Championships in a show of support for the family.

Speaking after winning his second-round singles match on Wednesday, Djokovic said: 'I haven't been communicating directly to him but I've been communicating to him through them.
'I was really glad to have hosted his girlfriend and his son, Noah, to my first round and now today second-round match.
'Noah and his younger brother Elias are going to visit Boris I think in the next few days, for the first time since he went to prison.
'I've just been trying to give support to people around him, his closest people, his family members, because I consider Boris really a family member, someone that I greatly appreciate, respect and care about.
'We've been through a lot together during those three years of collaboration. Our relationship dates back even before that. Of course, after we finished our professional relationship, we always stayed close, him with my team, with my agents, with my family.
'It breaks my heart to see what's happening to him. I can only imagine how hard it is for his family members. So, of course, this is a little gesture of friendship to invite them.
'He knows and they know that they can always count on me for whatever support or help I can provide.'
Becker, who lived in Monte Carlo and Switzerland before moving to the UK, previously told Southwark Crown Court he had 'expensive lifestyle commitments', including a £22,000-a-month rental house in Wimbledon, South West London.
He was declared bankrupt on June 21, 2017 over an unpaid loan of more than £3million on his estate in Mallorca. He had been accused of hiding millions of pounds worth of assets, including two Wimbledon trophies, to avoid paying his debts.
Becker claimed he had cooperated with trustees tasked with securing his assets, even offering up his wedding ring, and had acted on expert advice.
Rebecca Chalkley, prosecuting, told Southwark Crown Court: 'Looking at the way the case was put and the route to verdict it is the prosecution submission that the jury rejected his case that he did not act dishonestly and must have found that he did'
She continued: 'None of the money in count four, the money transferred to third parties, was in sterling £390,000. It is the prosecution case the full amount is recoverable or should be accounted for and not just the 50 per cent that Mr Laidlaw submits.
'It is correct the jury has found the defendant didn't know about the prescribed period, or they did conclude that the transfer to the other Boris Becker accounts was not concealments but they did find him guilty on transfer to the third parties which are these payments.
'The transfer of all of the payments the jury must have concluded that it was deliberate and dishonest.
'Applying the way the case was put, there is a way to see the jury returned the verdicts they did looking at the difference between the prescribed period and the bankrupt period, the third parties and to the separate Boris Becker accounts.'
She said the house in Leimen that has yet to be sold is worth £1.53million.
Ms Chalkley said: 'The reason the full amount is listed is that he sought to deprive that amount from the estate and at the moment that has not been returned to the creditors.
'It will be available yes, but there is a distinction to be drawn from the money lost, and in regards to actual money lost is the £390,000 and what was sought to be lost was the £1.53million.'

The Insolvency Service has confirmed Becker is still an undischarged bankrupt and will stay that way until October 2031.
The court was also told in April that Becker has 'fallen from grace' and 'will have to rely on the charity of others to survive'.
He has suffered 'public humiliation' and has 'no future' following his conviction for hiding assets from the Insolvency Service, his barrister said.
He added that his actions were a tragedy, destroying a 'glittering' career and has left him with 'literally nothing'.
Mitigating today, Jonathan Laidlaw QC, said: 'I submit, and I hope this is not an exaggeration, Boris Becker has literally nothing and there is nothing to show for what was the most glittering of sporting careers.
'That is nothing short of a tragedy. His fall is not simply a fall from grace but amounts to the most public of humiliations for this man.
'His degree of suffering is punishment at a level that no other bankrupt in this country is likely to experience. So in terms of the defendant's future, in reality there is not one.
'These proceedings have destroyed his career, removed any future prospect of him earning any income and his brand is in tatters. He won't be able to find work and will have to rely on the charity of others if he is to survive.'
Earlier the court heard he was in 'desperate financial straits' and chose who to give money to rather than the trustees in charge of his bankruptcy.
His lawyer has said that he transferred money to 'settle debts' and 'meet his obligations' to his ex-wife and estranged wife.
He also said Becker now has 'nothing' and 'nothing to show for what was the most glittering of sporting careers'.
The court heard the original bankruptcy including the British private bank Arbuthnot Latham was £49,181,724. Excluding the bank, it was £40,067,065. What has been realised to date is £3.184million.
Mr Laidlaw QC said: 'He was in desperate financial straits and what in essence he has done and this is the basis of his culpability.
'He has exercised his own choice to which creditors to pay choosing or preferring to pay monies to dependents allowing than allowing the trustees to choose how that money can be applied.
'That is a criminal offence, but...this is a very different basis for sentence than has been contended before.'
He added: 'Would those payments out to others necessarily been disallowed by the trustee in bankruptcy?
'Against this background plainly the defendant had to continue to support his ex-wife and that would have been consistent with the orders of the court.
'He was estranged from his then-wife and furthermore with the consent of the joint trustees he had been allowed to continue to work. Almost all of the money falls into those categories.
'I accept the point you make, and hope the court would also accept, that it is preference the defendant is exercising which is plainly not something he should have done but those payments may have been approved by the trustee in bankruptcy.
'We're not concerned about the money being spent on a lavish lifestyle or gambling or something like that.'
Mr Laidlaw also invited the judge to reject that Becker got a mortgage on a house in order to stop creditors from seizing it.
He said: 'I invite you to reject in round terms the loan, the mortgage, was sought with bankruptcy in mind. That is a submission that must fail.
'The evidence was the loan was granted on 27 March. That was a month before the petition was presented and two months before he was served with the petition on 28 May. It couldn't have been a device that the prosecution is suggesting.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10969717/Boris-Beckers-sons-Noah-Elias-visit-fallen-tennis-ace-father-time-prison.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-06-30T15:46:18Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10969717/Boris-Beckers-sons-Noah-Elias-visit-fallen-tennis-ace-father-time-prison.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false |
Boy, 14, who murdered five-year-old Logan Mwangi named as Craig Mulligan as judge lifts anonymity order
Thursday 30 June 2022 16:43, UK
A 14-year-old sentenced to life in prison for murdering five-year-old Logan Mwangi can been named as Craig Mulligan.
It is common for children in criminal cases not to be named, but a judge at Cardiff Crown Court has decided to lift an anonymity order in this instance.
Earlier, Mulligan, along with Logan's mother and stepfather, was sentenced to life in prison.
Mrs Justice Jefford lifted the order made under Section 45 of the Youth Justice Criminal Evidence Act to allow the youth to be publicly identified as Craig Mulligan.
"I have come to the conclusion, having considered the submissions this morning, that I should lift the reporting restriction in this matter," she said.
Logan's body was discovered in the River Ogmore in Bridgend on 31 July 2021 - just 250 metres from his home.
A trial at Cardiff Crown Court heard he had suffered 56 external cuts and bruises, as well as "catastrophic" internal injuries.
He was wearing mismatched pyjamas and was said to have undergone a "brutal and sustained assault".
Logan's injuries were described as similar to victims of high-speed crashes or people who had fallen from a height. | https://news.sky.com/story/boy-14-who-murdered-five-year-old-logan-mwangi-named-as-craig-mulligan-as-judge-lifts-anonymity-order-12643280 | 2022-06-30T15:46:45Z | https://news.sky.com/story/boy-14-who-murdered-five-year-old-logan-mwangi-named-as-craig-mulligan-as-judge-lifts-anonymity-order-12643280 | false |
As a growing number of workers make freelancing a career, Hectic offers free and paid versions to help them increase productivity and earn more money, as well as providing continuing education for freelancers to grow their skills
BOULDER, Colo., June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Today, Hectic announced the launch of the FreelancerOS™, a platform designed for busy freelancers. The all-inclusive tool offers streamlined business management for freelancers at any stage of their journey. Hectic provides the ability to start, manage and grow a successful freelance business in one place, enabling freelance professionals to focus on increasing productivity and earning more income.
As more workers turn to freelance work – an estimated 130 million by 2028 – they find that learning to manage a freelance business can be overwhelming. Freelancers say they spend just 52% of their time on billable work.
Despite the myriad of options available to freelancers, many find themselves cobbling together a solution made up of multiple tools. This makes it challenging to keep track of everything and get an overview of the business at a glance on one dashboard. Add in the associated costs, and many who want to freelance long-term are discouraged.
"If you want to be your own boss, Hectic is an all-inclusive platform designed to help you turn your passion, talent, and dreams into a thriving business," Darryl Kelly, founder and chief executive officer, Hectic. "We're reimagining the system, demystifying self-employment, and breaking down every barrier we can to create a world where freelancing isn't just a daydream—it's a day job. And it's attainable no matter who you are."
As a freelancer, Hectic helps you save time and allows you to focus on client work so you can earn more money.
"I can't say enough about the team at Hectic," says Matt Wright, marketing strategist. "They are committed to creating a great one-stop dashboard for freelancers, and it shows. Anytime I've raised a question in chat, one of the founders is there in minutes asking questions and helping me figure out my issue. The product itself is great and really affordable compared to competitors in the space – and it keeps getting better."
Hectic is available on the web and via mobile and gives those who freelance a way to efficiently manage clients, projects, scheduling, accounting, invoices, proposals, contracts, and more. Users can sign up for the free version with no credit card required and move on to the paid version if they choose.
In addition, Hectic offers resources to help with insurance, banking and continuing education. Freelancers often lack access to further education and training that would help them grow their businesses. 53% say they wish they had better access to learn hard, soft and freelance business skills. To help, Hectic offers its Hectic Academy featuring a series of micro-modules with short, expert-led informative videos, quick accompanying exercises, and downloadable assets, all at no cost.
Pricing and availability
"At Hectic, our vision is to make freelancing accessible to everyone," said Kelly. "We're on a mission to empower every entrepreneurial mind to turn passion into success."

Saint Mary’s man sentenced for Atchison Co. burglaries
ATCHISON CO., Kan. (WIBW) - A Saint Mary’s, Kansas man has been sentenced to just under seven years in prison for his role in a burglary spree in 2020.
Curt Vandevelde was found guilty on June 1 by a jury on all charges, which included aggravated battery of a residence, burglary of a motor vehicle, and three counts of theft.
According to MSC, on the night of the burglaries, a homeowner was awakened to find Vandevelde trespassing inside of their home before he fled. He was then reportedly found at a different crime scene, sleeping in a shed before he was awakened by homeowners and chased into a tree line.
The Atchison County Sheriff’s Office was able to track and locate Vandevelde through the use of its K9 officer.

EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) — In a win for President Joe Biden, the Supreme Court ruled Thursday that his administration can end the “Remain in Mexico” policy.
The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 against the state of Texas, which argued that due to resource constraints, the U.S. could not detain people who entered the country illegally and that under the Immigration and Nationality Act, the U.S. could return migrants who arrived on land to that foreign territory pending a proceeding.
Read the ruling:
Justice John Roberts wrote the decision and was joined by fellow conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh as well as the court’s three liberal justices — Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan.
Texas Attorney General Paxton issued a statement calling the decision by the U.S. Supreme Court unfortunate.
“I believe it was wrongly decided. Over a year ago, Texas and Missouri sued the Biden Administration for illegally abandoning MPP. I won in district court and then won again on appeal. The Administration dragged its feet and refused to implement this effective program in good faith, allowing hundreds of thousands of illegals to pour over the border month after month. Today’s decision makes the border crisis worse. But it’s not the end. I’ll keep pressing forward and focus on securing the border and keeping our communities safe in the dozen other immigration suits I’m litigating in court.”
The “Remain in Mexico” policy, officially known as the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) program, forced asylum-seekers to wait in Mexico for the duration of their immigration proceedings.
In his statement, Paxton also expressed his agreement with Justice Samuel Alito’s dissent in which he questioned whether the government can guarantee that asylum-seekers who are paroled will appear for their court hearing.
Wrote Alito: “When it appears that one of these aliens is not admissible, may the Government simply release the alien in this country and hope that the alien will show up for the hearing at which his or her entitlement to remain will be decided? Congress has provided a clear answer to that question, and the answer is no. … Those requirements, as we have held, are mandatory.”
The Trump administration implemented MPP in January 2019 to “address the urgent humanitarian and security crisis at the Southern border.”
On Inauguration Day, President Joe Biden suspended the program and later sought to terminate it. Texas and Missouri sued, and a federal judge ordered the Biden administration to reinstate MPP.
The Trump administration sent an estimated 70,000 people back to Mexico. Since early December 2021, under what immigration advocates call MPP 2.0, the Biden administration has sent back far fewer asylum-seekers, with advocates putting the number at about 7,200.
MPP applied to individuals who asked for asylum upon arriving at the southern border, either at a port of entry or areas between ports of entry. Under the program, asylum-seekers were given a Notice to Appear in immigration and instructed to return to specific ports of entry at a specific date and time for their next court hearing. They were then sent back to Mexico.
A criticism of the MPP was that the U.S. government was sending asylum-seekers, including thousands of young children, back to dangerous, crime-ridden Mexican cities like Matamoros, Juarez and Tijuana.
In Matamoros, in the state of Tamaulipas, a massive refugee camp formed at the base of the Gateway International Bridge. Thousands of people, fearful that they would miss a court date or be late, slept in tents in squalid conditions.
In anticipation of an MPP ruling on Monday, migrant advocates on Monday shared stories of rape, assault and kidnapping endured by clients forced to wait in Mexico.
Crystal Sandoval, director of strategic initiatives at Las Americans Immigrant Advocacy Center read letters from clients detailing violence suffered in Juarez, Mexico.
“We were thrown to the streets without the opportunity to state why we were there, why we left our country,” Sandoval spoke on behalf of a 37-year-old woman from Honduras. “In Mexico, I was met with violence, cruelty and worse. I was kidnapped, trafficked and raped. My 9-year-old daughter was witness to this and she herself was sexually abused.”
Immigration experts also found that MPP did not provide due process to migrants.
“The lack of counsel, combined with the danger and insecurity that individuals face in border towns, made it nearly impossible for anyone subject to MPP to successfully win asylum,” the American Immigration Council said. “By December 2020, of the 42,012 MPP cases that had been completed under (Trump), only 521 people were granted relief in immigration court.”
The American Immigration Council said representation rates under both administrations are exceedingly low. Under Biden’s reiteration of MPP, for example, just 7.5 percent of people placed on the program managed to hire a lawyer. | https://www.wric.com/news/u-s-world/biden-can-end-remain-in-mexico-policy-supreme-court-rules/ | 2022-06-30T15:50:00Z | https://www.wric.com/news/u-s-world/biden-can-end-remain-in-mexico-policy-supreme-court-rules/ | true |

WASHINGTON, June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As Yuval David heard his name called upon during the 64th Capital Emmy Awards, he immediately started dancing. David, a Jewish LGBTQ activist, won the Emmy for Talent – Program Host/Moderator/Correspondent for his "One Actor Short" series.

He is active in the fight to stop the rise of hatred toward Jews. David regularly speaks and advocates on behalf of marginalized people and communities, including focusing on self-expression through art and creativity in pursuit of social change.

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — A United Nations rights panel focusing on Ethiopia says it's alarmed over continued violations and abuses in the East African country.
The Commission of Human Rights Experts on Ethiopia, created by the U.N. Human Rights Council to investigate abuses and rights violations in Ethiopia, warned the country is experiencing escalating violence and a dire humanitarian crisis.
“The subject matter of our inquiry appears to be perpetrated with impunity even now by various parties to the conflict,” commission chairwoman Betty Murungi said Thursday. “The commission emphasizes the responsibility of the government of Ethiopia to bring to an end such violations on its territory and bring those responsible to justice.”
Murungi noted that “any spread of violence against civilians is an early warning indicator and a precursor for further atrocity crimes.”
The Geneva-based panel has a mandate to investigate allegations of violations of international human rights, humanitarian, and refugee law since deadly war erupted in Ethiopia's northern Tigray region in November 2020.
Violence — some of it along ethnic lines — has since spread to other parts of the country, including in the Oromia and Amhara regions.
Witnesses recently told the AP more than 400 ethnic Amharas were killed in Oromia on June 18, shocking Ethiopians and the international community.
On Thursday, a spokeswoman for the Ethiopia's prime minister said 338 people are now confirmed to have died in an attack earlier in June in Oromia’s West Wellega area. Billene Seyoum blamed the Oromo Liberation Army, or OLA, for the killings, saying the rebel group controls “pockets of Oromia where they are terrorizing civilians.”
But an OLA spokesman denied the allegations and said it was carried out by the government troops and a local militia. It called for an independent investigation.
The U.N. Ethiopia rights commission is expected to deliver a written report to the U.N. General Assembly later this year. | https://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/UN-rights-panel-says-it-is-alarmed-over-17276677.php | 2022-06-30T15:52:39Z | https://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/UN-rights-panel-says-it-is-alarmed-over-17276677.php | true |

AACHEN, Germany, June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- umlaut, part of Accenture (NYSE: ACN), has opened a private 5G standalone, Open RAN network in Aachen, Germany. The "5G Campus Lab" enables companies across industries to design, test and implement ultra-high-speed and low-latency connectivity solutions faster without having to invest in building their own network.
Powerful wireless connectivity is becoming increasingly important as companies are heading towards a total enterprise reinvention, which will transform every part of their business through technology, data and artificial intelligence. Some examples of this transformation include connected vehicles and bringing robotics and cloud-based automation solutions to factories, which will generate massive amounts of data and put enormous pressure on data networks.
The 5G Campus Lab offers the following capabilities and services:
- Companies can validate their existing 5G use cases to identify and resolve issues up-front, such as ensuring that different end-devices and sensors work smoothly together. They can go hand-on without having to set up their own private 5G networks, which are costly to build and usually require obtaining a license from network authorities.
- Companies can experiment with umlaut's use cases. These include but aren't limited to the following areas: smart manufacturing, including process automation and predictive maintenance; telemedicine with a digitized rescue chain; software-defined vehicles; and real-time augmented reality for digital twins.
- With its holistic engineering and industry expertise, umlaut helps companies develop and deploy new individual 5G use cases, which leverage best-of-breed technologies, apply security-by-design, and support energy efficiency.
- umlaut supports clients looking to build their own private network with its deep understanding of the challenges behind the integration and interoperability of network devices and technologies such as Open RAN.
The 5G Campus Lab covers indoor and outdoor areas and provides 100 MHz of C-Band spectrum. As a 5G standalone network, it doesn't require LTE technology for signaling and information transfer. It is supported by Open RAN, an emerging technology using open interfaces that allow for the communication of software and hardware components from different vendors, enabling innovative wireless solutions at low costs.
Hakan Ekmen, CEO Telecommunication at umlaut, said: "5G is a key enabler of smart connected products and manufacturing. Our 5G Campus Lab is the ideal testing ground for companies wanting to capitalize on latest wireless connectivity technologies, cloud-based Open RAN virtualized infrastructure, and massive Multi-Input, Multi-Output (MIMO) antennas."

Mother who smoked FOUR bongs before double fatal car crash that left her young daughter with long-term brain injuries is spared jail
- Amberly Jane Hendy lost control of her car and smashed into another vehicle
- The crash killed her sister and her sister's partner and injured Hendy's daughter
- Hendy was spared jail with a judge taking into account her daughter's condition
A mother who smoked four bongs hours before she lost control of a car and killed her sister and her partner and injured her young daughter has been spared jail.
Amberly Jane Hendy, from Katunga, Victoria, was 28 when she lost control of her vehicle in a hailstorm.
It smashed into another car on the Goulborn Valley Highway on September 6, 2019.
The crash killed two passengers, Hendy's sister Eloise Rigby, 23, and her sibling's partner Adam Boland, 39.
Hendy's young daughter was also seriously injured in the crash, before spending several months in hospital. She is still battling ongoing health issues after traumatic brain injury.
On Thursday, Hendy, 31, was spared jail and given a three-year community corrections order.
Amberly Jane Hendy, from Katunga, Victoria, lost control of the car and it smashed into another vehicle, killing her sister and her sister's partner
Hendy's young daughter was also seriously injured in the crash, before spending several months in hospital. She is still battling ongoing health issues
She had pleaded guilty to two counts of dangerous driving causing death and one of causing serious injury.
In a statement to the court, the mother said she rethinks every decision she made that day.
'I regret the day of the accident beyond words, beyond measure. I've wished upon everything that I could go back to that day and change everything,' Hendy said.
Hendy said she prayed her daughter would know how sorry she was for the crash.
'I live every day with sorrow, I live every day begging for forgiveness, I live every day praying my daughter will know how sorry that her aunty and uncle are gone and how sorry I am for the injuries she received,' she said, according to news.com.au.
The mother smoked four bongs of cannabis on the morning of the crash - but said she hadn't been expecting to drive. Mr Boland asked her to take the wheel.
He owned the car, which had a bald tyre, and the court was told Hendy knew it wasn't road worthy.
After the crash, she told police that she just 'really wanted to get home'.
During the trip, Hendy slowed when heavy rain started to fall but lost control and 'overcorrected'.
She swerved into the opposite lane and crashed into another car.
The other driver was not seriously injured.
Mr Boland's mother told the court the two sisters and her son were incredibly close and Hendy would be feeling 'punished every day' over the crash.
On Thursday, Hendy, 31, was spared jail and given a three-year community corrections order
The mother smoked four bongs on the morning of the crash - but said she hadn't been expecting to drive
'I hope the trauma that Amberly would be going through each day is taken into account with sentencing,' she Boland told the court.
Judge Liz Gaynor said this was the only time Hendy had committed a crime and added that the condition of her daughter meant mercy was 'warranted'.
'This is the loss of a beloved sister and her partner, the grief and distress caused to your parents, the serious injury to the daughter you clearly love and their effects,' Judge Gaynor she added.
As part of the treatment order, Hendy must undertake mental health treatment and an assessment for drug use difficulties and complete 400 hours of community work.
Her license was also cancelled for 18 months. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10969231/Mother-smoked-FOUR-bongs-fatal-car-crash-spared-jail.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-06-30T15:57:41Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10969231/Mother-smoked-FOUR-bongs-fatal-car-crash-spared-jail.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true |

The NFL is teaming up with Ice Cube.
The league announced Thursday that it is partnering with Contract with Black America Institute, an economic inclusion-focused initiative led by artist and entrepreneur O’Shea Jackson, who is known as Ice Cube.
“We feel like if you tackle the huge wealth gap between Black people and white people in this country, that should solve a lot of problems that’s there,” Ice Cube said on the AP Pro Football Podcast. “Our thing was to go after some of the biggest companies in the country that rely on Black consumers or Black workers, and the biggest one that we focused in on was the NFL.”
The NFL has been working to increase economic equity and partnerships with Black-owned businesses. The partnership with Ice Cube’s CWBA will focus on identifying league-wide opportunities in the financial, tech, and production sectors, with a concentration on increasing direct and indirect spending to national Black businesses to help close America’s racial and economic wealth gap.
Ice Cube, his longtime business partner and entertainment lawyer Jeff Kwatinetz, and advisors Ja’Ron Smith and Chris Pilkerton started this initiative in 2020. They worked with Troy Vincent, the NFL’s executive vice president of football operations, and presented the idea to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
“It was cool connecting with somebody like Troy Vincent and really delivering our plan,” Ice Cube said. “Roger Goodell jumped in with both feet saying, ‘Hey, we got to get this done. We have to make this happen.’”
Already, the NFL has spent and allocated $125 million with Black owned and operated businesses such as Ariel Investments, CityFirst/Broadway Bank, Cover Communications, and Fearless Technology during the last year.
“Our partnership with CWBA is another reminder that partnering with intentional organizations is critical to everything we do at the league,” Goodell said in a statement. “Black businesses play a major role in our country’s economic prosperity. We understand these businesses have not always had the opportunity for exponential growth, so we are pleased to have partners like Ice Cube and his organization, CWBA, in a continued, collective push toward greater economic inclusion.”
Ice Cube said his group plans to pursue similar opportunities with other sports leagues and major companies.
“I’m glad the NFL stepped up,” he said. “They’re the biggest and most powerful and most influential to other Fortune 500 companies. So we want to get them to lead the charge. They’ve already allocated and spent up to $125 million. So we want we want that to turn into $500 million, maybe a billion and then move on to other leagues and hopefully other companies like Nike and the big boys and tell them to try to adopt the same thing.”

2021 in Review
HUMANITARIAN CONTEXT
Humanitarian situation in 2021
The humanitarian situation for people in South Sudan worsened due to escalating internal violence and conflict, drought, rising food insecurity, flooding, disease outbreaks, and the continued effects of COVID-19 on lives and livelihoods. People already face underlying vulnerability and limited access to basic services including health care, education, safe water, hygiene and sanitation, and limited access to justice and rule of law.
The estimated number of people in need of direct humanitarian assistance increased from 8.3 people reported at the beginning of 2021 to 8.9 million people by the end of 2021. Protection concerns remain high with people affected by violence having limited access to justice and the rule of law.
Prolonged flooding
Above normal rainfall for the third consecutive year led to major floods. A reported 835,000 people were affected by severe floods between May and December 2021, 80 per cent of those affected were from Jonglei, Unity and Upper Nile states. By the end of the year, many flood-displaced people, including those who were displaced by the 2020 floods, still could not return to their homes.
The cumulative effects of recurrent flooding contributed to the destruction of farmland: 65,107 hectares of land planted with cereals have been damaged with an estimated loss of 37,624 tons and water facilities were destroyed.
Disease outbreaks
Life-threatening diseases such as acute watery diarrhoea, cholera, and measles continued to affect thousands due to the lack of safe water and limited access to health facilities. In 2021, the number hepatitis E virus (HEV) cases increased significantly, from 564 reported between 2018-2020, to 1143 suspected cases with five deaths.
Population movements
Continued conflict, instability and widespread flooding in the country resulted in large-scale internal dis- placement, as well as cross-border displacement. Over 550,000 people were newly displaced in 2021, leading to a total number of two million internally displaced people (IDPs). Some 55 per cent of all displaced people are women and girls across the country.
Because of the absence of adequate capacities and institutional preparedness to prevent and respond to internal displacement in the short-, medium, and longer- term, the IDPs continue to live in camps, crowded settlements, or hosted by the local communities.
Security and access constraints
The insecure operating environment further worsened the humanitarian crisis. Between January and December 2021, OCHA recorded 591 reported humanitarian access incidents. These ranged from violence against humanitarian personnel and assets to operational interference.
In 2021, five aid workers lost their lives while delivering humanitarian assistance and services. Due to insecurity, 322 aid workers were relocated. Humanitarian warehouses and facilities were targeted during the violence and humanitarian supplies were looted, significantly affecting response operations in conflict-affected and food-insecure areas.
Food Insecurity and malnutrition
Food insecurity increased in 2021. The prolonged flood eroded previous gains achieved by improved access.
The Food Security Livelihoods Sectoral Analysis estimates that 8.3 million people (including refugees) are expected to experience severe food insecurity by the peak of the lean season (May – July) in 2022, an increase of seven per cent above the 7.7 million people in need in 2021.
Acute malnutrition remained a significant problem in South Sudan. The level of malnutrition has increased by about two million people including 1.3 million children under-five and 676,000 pregnant and lactating women. The main contributing factors to high malnutrition rates included high levels of food insecurity, widespread conflict and insecurity, population displacement, poor access to services due to poor infrastructure, high morbidity and hygiene and sanitation conditions.

Andhra Pradesh: Minister likens village volunteers to YSRCP workers, kicks up row
‘Those working against the party’s interests will be removed from service’
Andhra Pradesh Irrigation Minister Ambati Rambabu kicked up a controversy by likening the members of the village volunteers to the workers of the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP).
Taking part in the party’s district plenary on Thursday, Mr. Rambabu said that the village and ward volunteers had been appointed based on the recommendations of the party leaders at the grassroots level. “Those volunteers working against the interests of the party will be removed from service and new volunteers will appointed,” said Mr. Rambabu.
The Minister further said that the volunteers should act as a bridge between the government and the people. They must ensure that the benefits of welfare schemes reach the people at their doorsteps.
Participating in the programme, Agriculture Minister Kakani Govardhan Reddy said all welfare schemes were being implemented by the YSRCP government on a saturation basis unlike during the previous Telugu Desam Party (TDP) regime.
Cutting across the party-lines, benefits of the Rythu Bharosa scheme were extended to all farmers, he said.
Referring to the development projects, the Minister said that works on the Sangam and Nellore barrages were going on in full swing and these projects would be completed soon.
YSRCP MLA from Venkatagiri Anam Ramanarayana Reddy lamented that though welfare schemes were being implemented in a big way, the implementation of development works in his constituency had been far from satisfactory, especially during the COVID-19 times.
Nellore (Rural) MLA Kottamreddy Sridhar Reddy alleged that some party leaders from outside were meddling with the party affairs in his constituency.
Kovur MLA Nallapareddy Prasannakumar Reddy said that the party should give due importance to its cadres who had helped it grow ‘from strength to strength’.
The plenary adopted a resolution thanking Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy for implementing development projects worth ₹5,600 crore in the district. The party leaders and activists administered a pledge on the occasion to repeat the performance in 2019 elections when the party won all 10 Assembly seats, in the next elections too.

(The Hill) – Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) on Wednesday criticized comments that Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) made on Sunday in which she called for ending the separation of church and state in the United States.
Boebert said in a speech at the Cornerstone Christian Center in Basalt, Colo., that she is “tired” of the principle and falsely claimed that the Founding Fathers did not intend to keep religion separate from government.
Kinzinger condemned Boebert’s comments and compared them to the views of the Taliban, the militant Islamic fundamentalist group that rules Afghanistan.
“There is no difference between this and the Taliban. We must oppose the Christian Taliban. I say this as a Christian,” he tweeted.
Boebert argued that the separation of church and state “junk” is not in the Constitution and was only in a letter that “means nothing like they say it does.”
She appeared to be referencing a letter that then-President Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1802 to the Danbury Baptist Church Association in Connecticut. In the letter, Jefferson wrote that the American people had built “a wall of separation between Church and State.”
The constitutional interpretation of separation of church and state comes from the establishment clause of the First Amendment, which states that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.”
The Supreme Court applied this provision also to the states through the 14th Amendment’s due process clause, which prohibits states from passing laws that restrict people’s “life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.”
But the court has more recently signaled a willingness to allow religion in public spaces, striking down a law in Maine earlier this month that prevented religious schools from receiving tuition aid from public funds. It also ruled in favor of a high school football coach who was placed on leave for violating the school’s policy against staff encouraging students to engage in prayer.
Boebert argued that the government has been able to direct the church, and felt that “the church is supposed to direct the government” instead.
After winning the election to the House in 2020 and gaining a reputation as a far-right conservative with hardline views, Boebert won the Republican nomination for reelection to her seat on Tuesday. | https://www.fox16.com/news/national-news/kinzinger-hits-back-at-boeberts-church-and-state-remarks-we-must-oppose-the-christian-taliban/ | 2022-06-30T16:08:10Z | https://www.fox16.com/news/national-news/kinzinger-hits-back-at-boeberts-church-and-state-remarks-we-must-oppose-the-christian-taliban/ | false |

Current President and Chief Wellness Officer begins new role leading GENYOUth's mission of building healthier school communities and promoting the health and well-being of America's youth
NEW YORK, June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- GENYOUth, the national nonprofit organization that creates healthier school communities, today announced the appointment of Ann Marie Krautheim, M.A., R.D., L.D., to Chief Executive Officer by its Board of Directors, effective July 1, 2022. Krautheim, who joined GENYOUth in 2012 and has served as president and chief wellness officer for the past decade, succeeds Alexis Glick, the organization's first CEO. Krautheim will lead GENYOUth's strategic vision, partnerships, and programs in support of the organization's mission of creating healthier school communities and empowering youth to lead change. Her work in building partnerships with corporations, schools, professional sports leagues, education, government, health professional, and nutrition and fitness organizations has been instrumental in driving GENYOUth's growth from a start-up to a leading non-profit -- raising over $200 million to support and generate measurable results nationwide for youth and school wellness programs.
"On behalf of the GENYOUth Board of Directors, I am delighted to announce the appointment of Ann Marie Krautheim as our new CEO," said Barbara O'Brien, GENYOUth Board Chair; President & CEO, Dairy Management Inc.; and President & CEO, Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy. "Ann Marie has the vision and commitment to take GENYOUth's critical work to the next level. In particular, hunger and food insecurity are causes that are near and dear to the hearts of America's dairy farmers, and the ongoing work of GENYOUth to end student hunger is of growing importance," added O'Brien.
"The NFL is proud of our partnership with GENYOUth over the past decade, which continues to have an extraordinary impact on the well-being of millions of youth across the nation through Fuel Up to Play 60, the largest school-based health and wellness program in the country, and NFL FLAG-In-Schools. Ann Marie's leadership as CEO will further ensure that GENYOUth remains integral in our shared commitment to champion physical activity, sound nutrition and healthy lifestyles for children," said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
"I am honored to be named CEO of GENYOUth. GENYOUth has made great strides in our first decade with the incredible support of our founding partners, America's Dairy Farmers and the NFL, and additional purpose-minded partners who share our mission. As this is such a pivotal time for youth and schools, I am committed to continued action to ensure that students, particularly those in high-need communities, are nourished, active and supported," said Krautheim.
A registered dietitian, and the mother of two sons, Krautheim has a high regard for science, agriculture, food and fitness, and their connection to health and wellness among youth. An authority on child wellness, she serves on the boards of state and regional professional associations and is an advisory board member for YMCA Storer Camps. She has received numerous honors including the prestigious Anita Owen Award for Innovation in Nutrition Education from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Krautheim has been pivotal in generating grant funding support for GENYOUth's flagship program, Fuel Up to Play 60, which reaches 73,000 schools and over 38 million kids. She helped facilitate GENYOUth becoming a founding partner in former First Lady Michelle Obama's "Let's Move Active Schools" initiative. Krautheim has led GENYOUth's multi-tiered fundraising efforts and initiatives to End Student Hunger to increase access to and participation in school meals for the 30 million U.S. students who are reliant on school nutrition programs.
"Ann Marie has a deep expertise in critical areas of youth wellness, and a passion for youth leadership. Her vision and expertise will take GENYOUth into its next chapter of building healthier school communities," said Dr. David Satcher, 16th U.S. Surgeon General, and an Emeritus Member, GENYOUth Board of Directors.
"Edelman has been proud to advance the work GENYOUth is doing through its programs and initiatives to support healthier school communities nationwide, and to elevate the youth voice -- most especially in the challenging years of 2020 and 2021. Ann Marie was an integral part of that important journey as GENYOUth's President and Chief Wellness Officer, so in her new role as CEO, I am even more excited to see her leadership further GENYOUth's mission in serving our communities, and empowering our nation's youth to drive change," said Richard Edelman, Member, GENYOUth Board of Directors; CEO, Edelman; Chairman, Daniel J. Edelman Holdings.
"Ann Marie has a deep understanding of the urgent concerns -- and needs of school nutrition programs -- as we prepare to nourish students and address hunger in the coming school year. I appreciate her dedication in working to identify public-private partnerships that are helping schools, and producing measurable increases in school meal participation," said Manish P. Singh, Director of Food Services Division, Los Angeles Unified School District.
"I don't think it's possible to over-state the importance of cultivating the health and well-being of our next generation. As we emerge from the pandemic, serious challenges to child health remain -- caused by everything from ongoing food insecurity to rising income inequality. Ann Marie's important work leading GENYOUth will be beyond essential in serving the critical needs of our nation's most underserved youth," said Selwyn M. Vickers, M.D., FACS; Member, GENYOUth Board of Directors; James C.

(The Hill) – President Biden on Thursday said the Senate should carve out an exception to the 60-vote filibuster to codify abortion rights after the Supreme Court overturned the precedent set by Roe v. Wade.
“The most important thing to be clear about is I believe we have to codify Roe v. Wade in the law, and the way to do that is to make sure the Congress votes to do that,” Biden said at a press conference at the NATO summit in Spain.
“And if the filibuster gets in the way, it’s like voting rights, it should be we provide an exception for this, requiring an exception to the filibuster for this action to deal with the Supreme Court decision,” Biden added.
A change to the filibuster, which requires 60 votes in the Senate for most legislation to pass, would make it so that abortion rights or broader privacy rights like access to contraception and the right to same-sex marriage could be codified into law with a simple majority.
Democrats have sounded the alarm that striking down Roe could be the first in a series of court decisions rolling back precedents that protected access to contraception and same-sex marriage after Justice Clarence Thomas wrote in a concurring opinion that those precedents should be revisited.
Democrats hold the Senate majority with 50 senators, plus Vice President Harris acting as a tie-breaking vote.
But Biden’s previous call for a filibuster exception for voting rights legislation failed to gain traction, and there is unlikely to be enough support for a similar carve out for abortion. All 50 Democrats would need to support the change, and Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) have expressed concerns about altering the filibuster.
The White House has been under intense pressure by Democratic lawmakers and voters to take action after the Supreme Court last week struck down Roe v. Wade, eliminating the nearly 50-year-old constitutional right to abortion and handing states authority to drastically limit or ban the procedure.
The court’s ruling upheld Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban, which directly clashed with Roe’s requirement that states permit abortion up to the point of fetal viability, around 24 weeks, as well as Planned Parenthood v. Casey, a 1992 decision that reaffirmed Roe’s core holding.
The court decision sparked outcry across the country over the rolling back of women’s rights and access to reproductive health care. And the White House came under scrutiny for its lack of response given a draft of the court decision had leaked weeks earlier.
The White House has so far expressed frustration with the decision, but it has offered few tangible measures to try and protect abortion access in the immediate aftermath of the ruling.
The Pentagon said in a memo it will continue to provide abortions at military facilities in cases when the mother’s life is at risk or if the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest.
The White House has knocked down talk from some lawmakers to protect abortion access on federal lands, arguing it would have too many unintended consequences.
Biden said Thursday he will meet with governors who have acted to protect abortion access once he returns to Washington, D.C.
“The one thing that has been destabilizing is the outrageous behavior of the Supreme Court the United States in overruling, not only Roe v. Wade, but essentially challenging the right to privacy,” Biden said. | https://www.wane.com/news/national-world/biden-calls-for-filibuster-carveout-to-protect-abortion-rights/ | 2022-06-30T16:16:35Z | https://www.wane.com/news/national-world/biden-calls-for-filibuster-carveout-to-protect-abortion-rights/ | true |

Maine’s rich seafaring and shipbuilding history is on full display at the Maine Maritime Museum, celebrating its 60th anniversary this year. Located in Bath on the former site of the historic Percy and Small Shipyard, the museum encompasses the country’s only surviving shipyard where large wooden sailing vessels were once built.
The museum spans 20 acres along the Kennebec River and includes original buildings, hands-on, immersive exhibits, a collection of some 200 historic small craft (displayed on a rotating basis), a 1851 American clipper ship, and the Donnell House, the original shipyard owner’s Victorian-era residence, built in 1892. There are also daily lighthouse and nature cruises, gardens, a river walk, a pirate play ship, and museum rooms filled with artwork and artifacts.

This is a fun, fascinating place to visit, and a great way to spend a day along the coast of Maine. And yes! You can get a lobster roll at the museum’s new Sail Shed café.
We began with a stroll through the museum’s expansive, waterfront campus, dominated by the Schooner Wyoming sculpture, the largest outdoor sculpture in New England. The massive art piece, measuring nearly 450 feet long with six 120-foot-tall metal masts, is meant to evoke the size and shape of the historic Wyoming schooner, built and launched at the Percy and Small Shipyard in 1909. It was the largest wooden sailing ship ever built in North America.
“The masts are not as tall as they were on the Wyoming,” says Amanda Pleau, marketing and communications manager. “But it does illustrate the massiveness of the ship and the scope of the shipbuilding that was once done here.”
In the 1740s, Bath was already an important shipbuilding hub, crafting sloops, schooners, and other small vessels to haul goods between the colonies. By the late 1850s, it was the fifth largest port in the country, with 22 shipyards operating along its protected shoreline. Ships from Bath carried goods to Caribbean ports, returning with cotton, rum, and sugar. A small exhibit in the Maritime History Building also examines Maine’s economic connections to the slave trade.

We visited the Mould Shop, an original building where skilled craftsmen designed and shaped the timbers for early schooners. Tools, materials, a furnished draftsman’s office, and a background soundtrack sets the stage and gives a glimpse of what it was like to work at the shipyard. The Blacksmith Shop, filled with tools and machinery, replicates where Percy and Small ship smiths produced the metalwork needed to build a ship. It was an important — and busy — job. For example, the Wyoming had 300 tons of iron and steel in its fittings, fastenings, and strapping. We toured two other original buildings, including the Paint & Treenail Shop and the Mill & Joinery Shop, filled with objects and artifacts that help tell the history of wooden shipbuilding from 1894 to 1920.
Of course, what maritime museum in Maine worth its salt wouldn’t have exhibits on lobstering? There’s a nice one here, with two floors of boats, traps, gear, and tools of the trade, telling the “trap to table” story of Maine’s ever-changing lobster industry. You can measure and notch a lobster (not a real one), check out the evolution of the lobster trap, enjoy the wall of colorful buoys, and peek at some older lobster boats.

Outside, kids can play on the pirate ship, or maybe watch a ship launching demonstration. How do they get those giant boats in the water? Demonstrators show how it’s done using smaller models. If it wasn’t raining, we would have spent more time outdoors, strolled the river walk, and hung out on one of the piers jutting out into the Kennebunk River. It was too early in the season for boat cruises, so we headed into the Maritime History Building.
The museum has a collection of some 20,000 artifacts, only a portion of which are on display in a variety of permanent exhibits. There are also changing exhibits hosted throughout the year.
The Tugboat Pilot House exhibit is especially fun for kids, where they can don rain slickers, listen to radio communications, read maps, and take the wheel of a tugboat. At the Into the Lantern exhibit you’ll discover what it’s like to be on the top of a lighthouse, as you step into the full-size replica of Maine’s Two Lights on Cape Elizabeth. It features a large lens that lights up when the video scene projected on the wall turns to nighttime.
And who doesn’t love a disaster? You’ll hear of several of them and get a stark reminder of the dangers and power of the sea in the Shipwrecks & Salvage exhibit, including the story of the schooner Cora F. Cressy. The five-masted, wooden ship was built in 1902 at the Percy and Small shipyard and was put to work hauling goods along the East Coast. She survived the 1924 storm that sank the Wyoming but was retired in 1928. Semi-retired. She was used as a floating nightclub in Boston, Gloucester, and Providence, before being towed to Bremen, Maine, and filled with sand to serve as a partially submerged lobster pound. Today, her massive wreck remains, and is one of the largest surviving wooden hulls in the United States. We watched the above and underwater videos, showing her deteriorating, barnacle- and seaweed-covered hulk. One day we’ll stop in Bremen for a closer look at the wreck. Maybe.

The museum’s wide hallway held more treasures, including a Wabanaki birch bark canoe, considered to be the oldest birch bark canoe in the world. We were reminded that the Wabanaki were Maine’s first ship builders.

LONDON (AP) — Europe prepared to lead the world in regulating the freewheeling cryptocurrency industry at a time when prices have plunged, wiping out fortunes, fueling skepticism and sparking calls for tighter scrutiny.
The European Union took a first step late Wednesday by agreeing on new rules subjecting cryptocurrency transfers to the same money-laundering rules as traditional banking transfers.
A much bigger move was expected as EU negotiators hammer out the final details late Thursday on a sweeping package of crypto regulations for the bloc's 27 nations, known as Markets in Crypto Assets, or MiCA.
Like the EU's trendsetting data privacy policy, which became the de facto global standard, and its recent landmark law targeting harmful content on digital platforms, the crypto regulations are expected to be highly influential worldwide.
The EU rules are “really the first comprehensive piece of crypto regulation in the world,” said Patrick Hansen, crypto venture adviser at Presight Capital, a venture capital fund.
“I think there will be a lot of jurisdictions that will look closely into how the EU has dealt with it since the EU is first here,” Hansen said.
He expected authorities in other places, especially smaller countries that don’t have the resources to draw up their own rules from scratch, to adopt ones similar to the EU’s, though “they might change a few details.”
Under the Markets in Crypto Assets regulations, exchanges, brokers and other crypto companies face strict rules aimed at protecting consumers.
Companies issuing or trading crypto assets such as stablecoins — which are usually tied to the dollar or a commodity like gold that make them less volatile than normal cryptocurrencies — face tough transparency requirements requiring them to provide detailed information on the risks, costs and charges that consumers face.
The rules will help novice crypto investors avoid falling victim to frauds and scams that regulators have warned are widespread in the industry.
“That’s a huge benefit in this space, especially for someone who has absolutely no idea where to go to or who to seek out or where to put my money into," said Jackson Mueller, director of policy and government affairs at Securrency, a blockchain infrastructure company.
Providers of bitcoin-related services would fall under the regulations, but not bitcoin itself, the world's most popular cryptocurrency that has lost more than 70% of its value from its November peak.
The European rules are aimed at maintaining financial stability — a growing concern for regulators amid a string of recent crypto-related crashes. For example, the stablecoin TerraUSD imploded last month, erasing an estimated $40 billion in investor funds with little or no accountability.
The meltdowns have spurred calls for regulation, with other major jurisdictions still drawing up their strategies. In the U.S., President Joe Biden issued an executive order in March on government oversight of cryptocurrency, including studying the impact on financial stability and national security.
Last month, California became the first state to formally begin examining how to broadly adapt to cryptocurrency, with plans to work with the federal government on crafting regulations.
The U.K. also has unveiled plans to regulate some cryptocurrencies.
A few European countries, like Germany, already have basic crypto regulations. One of the EU’s goals is bringing rules in line across the bloc, so that a crypto company based in one country would be able to offer services in other member states.
The EU rules, which would still need final approval and are expected to take effect by 2024, include measures to prevent market manipulation, money laundering, terrorist financing and other criminal activities.
On Wednesday, EU negotiators signed a provisional agreement for the bloc's first rules on tracing transfers of crypto assets like bitcoin, which is aimed at clamping down on illicit transfers and blocking suspicious transactions.
When a crypto asset changes hands, information on both the source and the beneficiary would have to be stored on both sides of the transfer, according to the new rules. Crypto companies would have to hand this information over to authorities investigating criminal activity such as money laundering or terrorist financing.
“For too long, crypto-assets have been under the radar of our law enforcement authorities," one of the lead EU lawmakers negotiating the rules, Assita Kanko, said in a statement. “It will be much harder to misuse crypto-assets and innocent traders and investors will be better protected."
The EU institutions are working out the technical details before the crypto tracing rules receive final approval.

WASHINGTON, June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) issued the following statement in response to the Supreme Court's ruling on the Biden administration's improper termination of the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) program, also known as "Remain in Mexico."
"When fully active under President Trump, MPP required many illegal border crossers to remain in Mexico while they waited for an immigration judge to consider the merits of their applications, many of which were dubious asylum claims. Thus, MPP effectively cut off the strongest pull-factor for illegal immigration – the near-guarantee of being released into the interior of the United States after apprehension by a border patrol officer. MPP was an obstacle to the Biden administration's mass immigration agenda so they fought to end it.
"By ending MPP how and when they did, the Biden administration put the American public and migrants at risk, all while footing enormous bills to state and local taxpayers who must provide benefits to aliens released into their communities. The Court's decision today, however, perpetuates this status quo and will allow the government to continue releasing inadmissible aliens into the United States, in direct violation of federal law.
"The Biden administration chose to terminate MPP knowing that their decision would allow them to violate other immigration laws. In the absence of a fully-operational MPP program, DHS unlawfully chooses to release thousands of inadmissible aliens into the United States resulting in further incentives that encourage mass illegal immigration across the Southern border.
"Today's Supreme Court ruling highlights the need for Congressional action to mandate MPP and secure our southern border. Courts cannot be relied on to rein in the Biden administration's relentless flouting of immigration laws. Congress must step forward with needed reforms to stop this historic border crisis."

WEST GLACIER - Glacier National Park has unveiled new solar panels that will provide clean energy for years to come.
“As soon as the sun hits the panels you’ve got electricity being generated,” said Everybody Solar Director of Operations Myriam Scally.
The 108 solar panels installed last year are cutting electricity costs. Now more money can go towards trails, research projects, maintenance, education, and more — something the Glacier National Park Conservancy is excited about.
“I think this will be a really good thing moving forward and kind of freeing up some of those dollars that would normally be going towards electricity for the park and it can go to other critical needs,” said Glacier National Park Conservancy Associate Director for Programs and Policy Lacy Kowalski.
Scally said this project — installed on the roof of the park's headquarters — will save $2,100 a year, and increase the use of clean energy.
“So this system is generating in a year about 25,000 kilowatt hours of electricity which is the equivalent to offsetting about 39,000 pounds of CO2, and that if we translate it into more grounded terms, is like planting 290ish trees a year which across the system will be alive for 25 plus years, It’ll easily be up on the roof, it can last 4o years in many instances, so you multiply that out, it’s a lot of money across the time,” said Scally.
Scally hopes that this conservation project leads to more collaboration with Glacier National Park in the future.
“We’ve got some meetings planned with some of those park folks to try to determine what their needs are and our goal is to look at long-term and long-range goals over the next five to 10 years to see what the needs are and how we can help meet those,” added Scally. | https://www.kbzk.com/glacier-national-park-celebrates-solar-panel-success | 2022-06-30T16:23:48Z | https://www.kbzk.com/glacier-national-park-celebrates-solar-panel-success | false |
As the father of a soon-to-be 10-year old, I often wonder/worry what the world will be like when he gets to my age. And since I’m also a life-long sailor who’s entire career has been intimately connected to the ocean, I believe in taking responsibility—and action—to help preserve the health of the world’s oceans is critically important for all the scary scientific reasons we hear all the time.
But, I also believe that simply having the knowledge, and even the fear of impending environmental catastrophes will never be enough to effect the changes we need to protect the world’s oceans. Thankfully, lots of smart people and organizations are producing detailed plans to make a positive environmental impacts at scale. And many global companies have pledged billions to environmental and sustainability causes as well.
But I have an idea that might help make a difference too. I want to help people see that preserving and protecting the world’s oceans is…cool.
It’s a simple idea really. I’m no economist but, do you know why the market cap of LVMH is 311.26 BILLION dollars? Because LVMH sells…cool. Now, I have no delusions “coolness” of saving the world, or LVMH saving the world, but the power of “cool” as a motivator is formidable. That’s why I’m so excited to report on all the new zero-carbon emission electric powered boats like the Electric Elegance 38 being introduced lately. As you can see. The EE 38 looks very cool.
According to Electric Yachts-Porto Cervo founder and creative director Roger Ericson, the EE 38 is a high-tech carbon fiber speedboat powered by a state-of-the-art electric propulsion system. It’s designed in collaboration with Jean-Jacques Coste and his team who are responsible for the exterior design and naval architecture. And since one of Coste’s best known designs is the futuristic trimaran Galaxy of Happiness, it’s no surprise the EE38 hull combines classic and modern lines the way that it does.
“Electric propulsion is not new for us as some of my past yacht designs are equipped with electric systems, allowing their owners to enjoy silent running,” says Coste. “However, creating a fully electric day cruiser offering, more or less, the same features as its combustion engines competitors is not an easy task.
“At Coste Design we always strive to maximize innovation and elegance, whatever the size of the vessel, and this was one of the key elements of the vision behind the EE38. The styling of the yacht has a subtle reminiscence of the vintage wooden runabouts made famous in the twentieth century from which the naval architecture, engineering and interior architecture have been carefully studied to be perfectly married with the timeless elegance of the EE38.”
Meanwhile, Aldo Parisotto of Parisotto + Forementon designed the interior features a refined and sophisticated Italian aesthetic. “The opportunity to approach the topic of electric yachting sounded very appealing to us when the call came from the Electric Elegance group,” Parisotto says. “As an architect and sailor I have become increasingly sensitive about the subject of sustainability and respect for the sea, so I was very happy to get involved with the interior design of such an innovative yacht project.”
And now that it’s just been announced that Royal Yacht International will be representing the EE 38 in Monaco to deliver sales and service on par with the best luxury brands in the world, the EE38 might just be what a cool environmentally-conscious person is looking for in a boat.

With an alternating license plate system in place for entry to the world's first national park, visitors can take advantage of Montana's other offerings
HELENA, Mont., June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- While Yellowstone National Park's South Loop is open and access is available through the West Entrance, South Entrance and East Entrance, the recently launched alternating license plate system gives visitors the opportunity to explore beyond Yellowstone.
"The alternating license plate system is working well," said Jan Stoddard, Bureau Chief of the Office of Tourism for Montana. "While visitors can go into the park every other day based on their license plate number, on the off days it gives them a chance to go deeper and explore all Montana has to offer, from ghost towns to guest ranches and rafting to cultural experiences."
From the East Entrance at Cody, Wyoming, it's a scenic 100-mile drive to Billings, the hub of Southeast Montana.
In Billings, travelers can explore downtown, bite into perfectly made burgers along the new Burger Trail, sip Montana on a brewery tour or visit Zoo Montana. The Crow and the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservations are also easily accessible from Billings, with cultural opportunities that include exploring Bighorn Canyon by boat, taking an interpretive tour with Indian Battle Tours and attending the Crow Fair & Rodeo in Crow Agency, August 19-21, 2022.
From West Yellowstone and the park's West Entrance, it's easy to take advantage of Montana's outdoor recreation, western experiences and urban offerings.
History lovers will find plenty of things to do in Bannack, Butte, Deer Lodge, Nevada City and Virginia City.

Ketanji Brown Jackson sworn in as 1st Black woman on Supreme Court
WASHINGTON - Ketanji Brown Jackson was sworn in on Thursday as the U.S. Supreme Court’s 116th justice and the first Black woman to serve on the high court.
The ceremony coincided with the retirement of Justice Stephen Breyer, whom 51-year-old Jackson once worked for and is now replacing.
Jackson, joined by her family, recited two oaths required of Supreme Court justices, one administered by Breyer and the other by Chief Justice John Roberts.
Her swearing-in came after the court issued its final opinions earlier Thursday in a consequential term that included overturning Roe v. Wade's guarantee of the right to an abortion. The court also issued a blow to the fight against climate change, limiting how the nation’s main anti-air pollution law can be used to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from power plants.
Jackson has been a federal judge since 2013 and is the third Black justice, after Thurgood Marshall and Clarence Thomas, and the sixth woman.
She joins the current three women, Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Amy Coney Barrett — the first time four women will serve together on the nine-member court.
President Joe Biden nominated Jackson in February, a month after Breyer, 83, announced he would retire at the end of the court's term, assuming his successor had been confirmed. Breyer's earlier-than-usual announcement and the condition he attached was a recognition of the Democrats' tenuous hold on the Senate in an era of hyper-partisanship, especially surrounding federal judgeships.
RELATED: Ketanji Brown Jackson: Supreme Court pick defends record during senators' questioning
The Senate confirmed Jackson's nomination in early April, by a 53-47 mostly party-line vote that included support from three Republicans.
Jackson will be able to begin work immediately, but the court will have just finished the bulk of its work until the fall, apart from emergency appeals that occasionally arise. That will give her time to settle in and familiarize herself with the roughly two dozen cases the court already has agreed to hear starting in October as well as hundreds of appeals that will pile up over the summer.
A look at Ketanji Brown Jackson’s career
Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson was confirmed in 2021 to the D.C.-based appellate court as a U.S. Circuit Judge, a position Biden elevated her to from her previous job as a federal trial court judge. Three current justices — Thomas, Kavanaugh and Roberts — previously served on the same appeals court.
Jackson was confirmed to the appeals court by a 53-44 vote in June 2021, winning the backing of three Republicans: Graham, Collins and Murkowski.
WASHINGTON, DC - APRIL 08: Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson delivers remarks, flanked by President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris during an event on the South Lawn of the White House on April 8, 2022, in Washington, D.C. (Kent Nishimura / Los
Another interesting GOP connection: Jackson is related by marriage to former House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis. Jackson's husband, Dr. Patrick Jackson, is the brother of William Jackson, who married Ryan’s wife’s sister, Dana.
Jackson was born in Washington, D.C., but grew up in Miami. She has said that her parents, Johnny and Ellery Brown, chose her name to express their pride in her family’s African ancestry. They asked an aunt who was in the Peace Corps in Africa at the time to send a list of African girls’ names and they picked Ketanji Onyika, which they were told meant "lovely one."
She traces her interest in the law to when she was in preschool and her father was in law school and they would sit together at the dining room table, she with coloring books and he with law books. Her father became an attorney for the county school board and her mom was a high school principal. She has a brother who is nine years younger who served in the Army, including in Iraq, and is now a lawyer.
In high school, she was the president of her public high school class and a debate champion. Richard B. Rosenthal, a lawyer who has known her since junior high, said there was no question she would rise to the top of whatever field she chose, describing her as "destined for greatness." His older brother, Stephen F. Rosenthal, a classmate and friend from Miami who also went to college and law school with her, called her a "natural leader" and someone with "penetrating intelligence."
Jackson attended Harvard, where she studied government but also was involved in drama and musical theater and part of an improv group called On Thin Ice. At one point she was assigned actor Matt Damon as a drama class partner, she has said, acknowledging he probably wouldn’t remember her. He does not, Damon previously confirmed through a representative, but added: "That’s so cool!"
Also at Harvard, she met her husband, who is a surgeon at Georgetown University Hospital, and the couple has two daughters.
From 1999 to 2000, Jackson was a law clerk for Breyer on the Supreme Court. Deborah Pearlstein, a law clerk to Justice John Paul Stevens the same year Jackson worked for Breyer, recalled Jackson as funny, insightful and "incredibly good at her job."
"I don’t know anybody there at the time who didn’t get along with Ketanji," Pearlstein said.
Jackson has since worked for large law firms over the course of her career but also was a public defender. After she was nominated to serve on the U.S. Sentencing Commission, the agency that develops federal sentencing policy, she taught herself to knit to deal with the stress of the nomination and confirmation process, she has said.
As a commissioner, she was part of a unanimous vote to allow thousands of people already in federal prison for crack-related crimes get their sentences reduced as a result of a new law.
And Jackson’s work on the Sentencing Commission paved the way for her to become a federal trial court judge, where one of the things she displayed in her office was a copy of a famous, handwritten petition to the Supreme Court from a Florida prisoner, Clarence Gideon. The Supreme Court took his case and issued a landmark decision guaranteeing a lawyer for criminal defendants who are too poor to afford one.
Jackson had served as a federal trial court judge since 2013, nominated by former President Barack Obama.
Jackson is currently a member of the Judicial Conference Committee on Defender Services, as well as the Board of Overseers of Harvard University and the Council of the American Law Institute. She also currently serves on the board of Georgetown Day School and the United States Supreme Court Fellows Commission.

SILICON SLOPES, Utah, June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Pluralsight, the technology workforce development company, today announced that it has received the 2021 Google Cloud Social Impact Partner of the Year - Education award. Pluralsight was recognized as a result of its successful partnership with both Google Cloud and Andela, a global job placement network for software developers with a mission to train 100,000 software engineers across Africa in 10 years.

By 2034, Africa is expected to have the world's largest working-age population of 1.1 billion—yet only 3 to 4 million jobs are created annually. There is a great need to create opportunities for the millions of people on the continent who are creative, smart and driven to succeed. Technology offers great opportunities for creating jobs, growing businesses and boosting economies. However, people need the right skills and tools to navigate the digital world.

We are so very proud and humbled to be recognized for this effort working alongside a deeply committed partner dedicated to creating momentum around harnessing technology to do good."
"Over the last year, Pluralsight has demonstrated its continued commitment to helping drive positive outcomes across education with innovative technology and solutions, resulting in long-lasting and impactful outcomes for customers and their communities," said Bronwyn Hastings, VP of Global ISV Partnerships and Channels, Google Cloud. "We're proud to recognize Pluralsight as Social Impact Partner of the Year for Education."
With Pluralsight Skills, fellows within the program receive free access to custom learning paths and curated expert-authored courses on the topics of Associate Android Developer, Google Cloud Engineering, or Mobile Web Specialist.

Learners that advanced through their chosen path by meeting requirements, have the opportunity to take an Associate Android Developer or Associate Google Cloud Engineer certification exam for free, courtesy of Google. As a result, more than 1,000 aspiring developers qualified to take a Google certification exam after completing all the learning phases and projects with learners benchmarking more 43,500 skills with Skill IQ.

Last year's Wimbledon finalist Karolina Pliskova lost her second-round match on Thursday to British wildcard Katie Boulter 3-6, 7-6 (7/4), 6-4. Sixth-seed Czech Pliskova broke twice in the opening set to establish a firm grip on the match but Boulter won the second-set tie-break to level the match.
A single break in the decider was enough for Boulter, who hit 25 winners, to seal the match.

Bob Johnson retires as North High School baseball coach
Johnson led the Huskies to state championships in 2011 and 2019.
EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (WEAU) - North High School baseball coach Bob Johnson is retiring, according to a release from the Eau Claire Area School District.
Johnson, who has a career coaching record of 307-79, including WIAA state championships in 2011 and 2019, was the head coach of the Huskies for 17 years.
Johnson has been in coaching for 28 years, including nine years as an assistant at Memorial High School before taking over the top job at North. Johnson has also been an assistant football coach at both of Eau Claire’s high schools and is an elementary physical education teacher at Locus Lane Elementary School.
Johnson, who has been teaching for 30 years, will continue to be a teacher at Locust Lane.
In a release, North High School Athletic Director Mike Pernsteiner said that the athletic department and community appreciates Johnson’s commitment to student athletes.
“In his time as head coach, he has built one of the best baseball programs in the state,” Pernsteiner said in a release. “He has been a leader within the North athletic department as a whole and his positive impact on our students and programs will be missed.”
Under Johnson’s leadership, the Huskies made the WIAA State Tournament field eight times, including this past season as well as the championship years in 2011 and 2019. North won the Big Rivers Conference crown nine of his 17 years at the helm, earning District 1 Coach of the Year five times, most recently in 2019. The Wisconsin Baseball Coaches Association named Johnson the Coach of the Year in 2011.
As a teacher, Johnson earned a Golden Apple Award from the Eau Claire Public Schools Foundation in February.
The Eau Claire Area School District has open positions for both of its head coaching positions in baseball after Dan Roehl stepped down at Memorial after six years heading up the program, including an appearance at state in 2021.
ECASD is also looking for head coaches for boy’s golf, wrestling, boy’s swimming and diving, and cheer at Memorial, as well as boy’s soccer, girl’s tennis, girl’s diving, and volleyball at North, according to open job positions listed on the Wisconsin Education Career Access Network.

Defensive NYC Mayor Desperately Quotes the Bible After Realizing Just How Bad His City Is
Democratic New York Mayor Eric Adams experienced an epiphany of biblical proportions after discovering just how badly the liberal city had been managed for the past few years.
According to the New York Post, Adams “said the scales fell from his eyes when he began reviewing internal city operations following his swearing in moments after midnight on New Year’s Day.”
The phrase comes from the account of Saul’s conversion in the book of Acts.
“Let me tell you something: When I started looking into this, I was shocked at how bad this place is,” the mayor said Monday in his interview with the Post, which was conducted during a three-hour subway ride.
“It was probably the third — third or fourth week in January. I spent a lot of time in the office. And I started peeling back layers and what it started to unveil to me is how we just had this good shell, but underneath — it’s bad,” he said.
As a reminder, radical leftist Bill de Blasio was mayor from 2014 through 2021, during which time crime skyrocketed, homelessness soared and the city got dirtier and less liveable.
Adams told the Post he was “shocked” that municipal bureaucrats had grossly misused resources, especially the police force.
Tragically, this incompetence occurred as the city was being engulfed by Black Lives Matter riots and the “defund the police” push in 2020.
What’s truly shocking is that the mayor was “shocked” at how inefficiently New York City was run for years. Has he been living under a rock?
As a Brooklyn native and a former captain of the New York Police Department, Adams undoubtedly saw with his own eyes how crime had surged to terrifying levels in recent years.
Combined violent and property crimes for the week ending 6/26 rose 29% over the same week in 2021, continuing the pattern set over recent weeks. Year-to-date major crimes are up 38%. Burglaries are by far the greatest problem.
These #’s reflect police reports – not court cases. pic.twitter.com/bSo9jiqwtK— Crime in NYC (@CrimeInNYC) June 28, 2022
At one point, Adams was also an officer with the city’s transit police, so it’s disingenuous of him to suggest he had no idea how bad things had gotten.
During the three-term tenure of former Mayor Mike Bloomberg (who was voted into office as a Republican), the city was dramatically safer, cleaner and more liveable.
Today, New York streets and subways have devolved into killing fields where criminals run amok after being emboldened by Democrats’ soft-on-crime policies.
.@AOC said “Defund the Police” and now we’ve got mothers being shot in the back of the head right in the evening sunlight.
This isn’t a “bad neighborhood” – it’s the Upper East Side.
This city has become a hellscape and @AOC is the reason why. pic.twitter.com/JwWAx1JJM9
— Desi Cuellar (@DesiJCuellar) June 30, 2022
The city’s catastrophic decline began shortly after de Blasio took office and escalated during his tenure.
Adams had touted himself as a Democrat who would be tough on crime. So far, however, he has done little to combat the terrifying violence roiling his city except screech about “gun control.”
For the record, New York has among the strictest gun laws in the country. But that has not stopped criminal thugs from getting their hands on guns — illegally.
We lost a 20 year old woman on the Upper East Side tonight.
She was pushing a stroller when a gunman took her life.
More guns in our city means more lives lost. It means more babies crying as those who love them lie dead.
We cannot allow this epidemic to keep claiming lives.
— Mayor Eric Adams (@NYCMayor) June 30, 2022
It’s great that Adams admits that things are “bad” in New York. But it seems he’s merely trying to deflect responsibility and accountability for the dismal state of his city right now.
The next few months will determine if this mayor lives up to his campaign promises to restore order. The clock is ticking, and New Yorkers are getting impatient.

"I look forward to continuing to partner with Natalie and the Board on our corporate strategy and to an active role in our firm's longstanding commitment to corporate social responsibility."
Brown joined Mesirow in 2018, most recently serving as the firm's President. Prior, she was Chief Financial Officer and Chief Administrative Officer. In recent years, Brown has advised the firm's Board of Directors and businesses on financial, operational, and organizational strategy, playing a pivotal role in recent lift-in acquisitions, key senior hires and technological innovation.

"Mesirow has successfully navigated market cycles over time by adhering to a traditionally disciplined and conservative approach. I am confident that this approach, combined with our differentiated capabilities; our community-minded culture; and our inclusive workplace will continue to set Mesirow apart as we serve our clients' needs and our people as an employer of choice."
In their new roles, Richard and Natalie will continue to work closely together, and with the Mesirow Board of Directors, in establishing firm vision and direction, investing in existing businesses, seeking strategic acquisitions and seeding new ventures. With no debt on its balance sheet and a broad set of capabilities, Mesirow is well positioned to offer clients broad, strategic diversification, risk mitigation, and the ability to grow through changing market cycles.
Brown is currently a member of the Mesirow Board of Directors and is deeply involved in the firm's Employee Resource Groups and community engagement initiatives.
Before joining Mesirow, Brown, 51, spent 18 years at Nuveen, where she held senior accounting, finance, and investor relations roles.

'I feel so embarrassed and I'm hiding away': Stephanie Davis opens up on her painful skin condition that has left her with 'weeping wounds'
Stephanie Davis has revealed her painful skin condition, which has left her with 'weeping wounds'.
The Hollyoaks actress, 29, took to Instagram to tell her followers about the 'sore' rash that has stopped her from wanting to leave her house.
She said: 'So you've all been asking me for updates on my skin but I've not really wanted to share what a look like with you all because it's so bad - I've put a filter on now because I feel so embarrassed and I'm hiding away really.'
Ouch! Stephanie Davis has revealed her painful skin condition, which has left her with 'weeping wounds'
'It's come up all over my body in different places, I've just myself to bits scratching.
'I don't like you all seeing me like this but this is topical withdrawal or steroid withdrawal which I'm just trying to go through the process.'
She continued: 'I've been a bit stressed and it's not made it any better, it's made it worse.
'Just when will there be a day free with my skin, days go by and it's getting worse before it gets better.
Embarrassed: The Hollyoaks actress, 29, took to Instagram to tell her followers about the 'sore' rash that has stopped her from wanting to leave her house
'I just don't want to leave the house and stuff.'
Stephanie showed pictures of her raw inflamed skin and the weeping cracks, admitting it was making her feel 'depressed'.
She said: 'I can't wait to get dressed up and put tan on and not f***ing picking skin from under my nails and leaving a trail wherever I go.
'I am sick of itching, it is so sore all over. I don't want to go anywhere, I don't want to go out of the house, my eyes are all tight and sore underneath.'
Stephanie later uploaded a video on Thursday saying her face had become so tight she couldn't move it.
Wounds: Stephanie showed pictures of her raw inflamed skin and the weeping cracks, admitting it was making her feel 'depressed'
She said: 'I just feel really embarrassed of my skin at the moment, I feel really ugly.'
She admitted: 'I just don't want to leave the house like this. I've just had enough. It's just really getting me down. Just want to look me again and put makeup and tan on.
'I'm not sleeping in the night because the itch is so bad that I just want to drag my skin.'
'Just don't feel attractive, just feel like an absolute ugly fat horrible mess.'
Sore: Stephanie later uploaded a video on Thursday saying her face had become so tight she couldn't move it
Earlier this year, Stephanie spoke about her condition, telling OK! magazine: 'The issue started in August last year, on reflection it was stress that started it all up. I’ve noticed now if I get very stressed my skin flares up.
'I had tried everything from over-the-counter creams to prescribed steroid creams, which made my skin 10 times worse and my skin 10 times drier and more irritated.
'I even tried smothering my face and chest Greek yoghurt to help cool my skin from the awful burning, I just wanted to dunk my whole face in a bucket of something to relieve the pain.'
The star explained how at one point her skin became so 'tight and crusty' and started shedding 'like a snake'.
It comes after she confirmed her new romance with Joseph Mckalroy, 25. earlier this year, just weeks after splitting with her ex Oliver Tasker.

The Big Brother contestant carried a clashing hot pink velvet shoulder bag and added a pair of nude stiletto heels.
She wore her raven tresses in a sleek high ponytail to display a chunky pair of gold earrings.
Joseph opted for a sauve all-black ensemble consisting of a shirt with stars embellished on the collar and chino trousers.
Stephanie's new love interest comes after she suffered a devastating miscarriage in September.
The actress split from her bike shop worker boyfriend Oliver last month, deleting all traces of him from social media.
She referred to their romance as her 'last relationship', in a now-deleted Instagram post.
The actress – who went 'Instagram official' with Oliver just seven months ago – has endured an incredibly difficult 2021, after experiencing a miscarriage in September.
A source close to Stephanie told The Sun: 'Steph is a strong, independent woman and is the one who decided to move on from Oliver.
'They had a great six months together but it just wasn't working out.
'There were some issues with trust and Steph respects herself too much to feel like she should stay in a relationship that isn't working.'
It's over! Stephanie split from her bike shop worker boyfriend Oliver last month, removing all traces of him from social media
It comes after Stephanie revealed her 'blood started to boil' when she discovered her stalker left presents for her son Caben.
The star has had a tough time in recent months as she was tormented by the obsessed fan who sent her gifts.
Speaking on Monday's episode of This Morning, Stephanie detailed how the stalker, 43-year-old Alex Boston, was convinced they should be together.
The actress said: 'As soon as he mentioned Caben - and he left presents for Caben - my blood started to boil. I was really scared.
'I was a single mum, living at home on my own - petrifying. I had to leave my home with Caben - our safe place was violated.'
Interview: It comes after Stephanie revealed her 'blood started to boil' when she discovered her stalker left presents for her son Caben, five
In her first TV interview about the terrifying experience, Stephanie told hosts Phillip Schofield and Rochelle Humes it started in March last year.
She said: 'There were daffodils left outside my drive. That was the first time it started. My little boy Caben saw them and said, "Mummy, can we take them inside?"
'And I didn't think anything of it, so I let him put them in the plant pot. Now, on reflection, if he was watching me, he [the stalker] saw that as a sign of acceptance and it just carried on.'
She added: 'The daffodils kept coming back. I started checking my Instagram messages, I never really look in my requests.
'Then I started to see fake accounts, constant. I can't tell you how many there were. I'd block them and he'd make another one. There were lengthy messages and disturbing, that's when I started to notice.'
Terrifying: The TV personality has had a tough time in recent months as she was tormented by the obsessed fan who sent her gifts
Phillip said the stalker was sending Stephanie seven-page letters and then Stephanie caught him on CCTV.
She revealed: 'My whole routine was disturbed. In my mum's house were my brothers, my dad, my nan because she's got dementia….
'I was in bed with my mum one night, with Caben in another bed another night, it was horrible, not being able to go to your home or just to get clothes.
'I was literally looking over my shoulder. Every time the wind blew, I was constantly filled with anxiety.'
Phillip asked what it does to your head and Stephanie replied: 'Terrible, terrible. I think it definitely had a big impact to my mental health.
Ordeal: Speaking on Monday's episode of This Morning, Stephanie detailed how the stalker, 43-year-old Alex Boston, was convinced they should be together
'I struggle with my mental health anyway, but when that happened my anxiety was through the roof.
'I was constantly having panic attacks, I couldn't sleep, I was up and kept checking in on Caben, panicking, imagining he wasn't there, going through all those motions.'
On how her stalker managed to get away with it for so long, Stephanie said: 'The police were checking the letters in forensics and there were no fingerprints on there.
'He'd worn gloves and he put a blocker to the cameras on the street, so it cut out when he walked past… I felt like I was in The Bodyguard. It was like living in a horror film.'
Phillip asked how he was caught and Stephanie explained: 'One of the letters, he messed up and left a fingerprint.'
The actress said: 'As soon as he mentioned Caben - and he left presents for Caben - my blood started to boil. I was really scared'
And on Boston being convicted to 28 weeks in prison, Stephanie said, 'I feel relieved. I slept for the first time in a long time.
'I still think it'll take a while… even when I left my house yesterday, I've got a rustley plant at the end of my drive and it [scared me].'
The actress' stalker, Alex Boston, pleaded guilty on November 12 to stalking Stephanie, however he failed to turn up to sentencing on December 22.
Stephanie previously told how she first noticed that someone was watching her when a delivery of handpicked daffodils was left outside the home where she lives with her son.
At first, Stephanie brushed off any harrowing thoughts and thought maybe her mother Pauline Davis had left the flowers outside her door.
Scary: In her first TV interview about the terrifying experience, Stephanie told hosts Phillip Schofield and Rochelle Humes it started in March last year
However after Pauline confirmed she was not the gift giver and more presents began to arrive at the property, Stephanie began to worry.
Talking about some of the gifts received, Stephanie told the Mirror: 'He left a big bag of stuff that obviously he picked for me. What freaked me out was there was a little leopard print number - on reflection it makes me feel sick - as I thought he obviously looked at that, gone out and got it, and thought that it would look good on me.
Stephanie said that she knew the person leaving the gifts was the same culprit, because they continued to leave bunches of daffodils with the gifts.
One present was a plant, which was accompanied by a message which read: 'grow this to grow our love.', while making declarations of love and admitting that he wanted to be a father to her son Caben.
Creepy: The gifts continued to arrive for Stephanie but the stalker would also bring gifts for her son Caben
Stephanie, who was in a relationship with Oliver at the time, asked her then boyfriend if he was sending the gifts - however she said he seemed offended and confirmed that it wasn't him either.
The gifts left Stephanie feeling paranoid and she began to question whether it was someone she knew in her local area, including a man who had repeatedly been asking her out on a date.
A CPS spokesman said: 'Between April 2020 and July 2021, Boston stalked Ms Davis by bombarding her with messages via social media, delivering letters and gifts, and loitering outside her home address.'
Boston, of Moreton in Wirral, Merseyside, was identified through his Instagram account and fingerprint evidence on the letters, the CPS said.
When his address was searched more letters intended for Stephanie were found.

WWII veteran receives medals earned nearly 70 years ago
NEW YORK (News 12) – A 97-year-old veteran finally received the medals he earned almost seven decades ago in World War II.
“I can’t thank you all enough for the attention I was getting. It makes up for all the years I didn’t get it,” veteran William Kellerman said.
He said it feels great to finally be recognized for fighting in WWII.
On July 4, 1944, Kellerman was sent to notify his battalion headquarters, less than one month into his tour of duty.
En route, he was taken by German soldiers as a prisoner. Eventually, he was able to escape.
Kellerman traveled 600 miles on a bike and made it to the headquarters of the French Resistance. He was interrogated for several hours trying to prove he was an American soldier.
Kellerman redeemed himself by answering who won the 1943 World Series – the New York Yankees, a no-brainer for the Bronx native.
Officials from the U.S. Army said the awards Kellerman was set to receive were never processed after his active service ended.
Now after almost 70 years, Kellerman was finally recognized as a recipient of the Purple Heart, Prisoner of War and a Bronze Star Medal.
