Greek star Stefanos Tsitsipas is set to lock horns with Australia’s Nick Kyrgios in the third round of the men’s singles draw in Wimbledon 2022 on Saturday, July 2. Ahead of the game, Tsitsipas, who’s the fourth seed in the grass-court championship, heaped praise on his upcoming opponent for his fighting spirit.
Kyrgios had to fight hard in his first round match against local star Paul Jubb that went into the fifth set. However, he looked at relative ease during his second round clash against Serbia’s Filip Krajinovic on Court 2.
The 27-year-old Kyrgios won the match 6-2, 6-3, 6-1 and gave an account of his incredible skills.
"We've had some great matches at many levels of competition. I have great respect for the way he fights when he really wants to," Tsitsipas was quoted as saying.
Tsitsipas, in the meantime, will go into the match after his comprehensive win over Australia’s Jordan Thompson in the second round match on Thursday.
The veteran thanked the crowd for supporting him thoroughly. Because of the closed roof due to the rainy weather conditions, the cheers from the crowd were clearly audible. "I'm very happy I got the crowd involved and that pushed me,” Tsitsipas stated.
The world No.5 said that he is ready to work harder to improve his game on grass. "I feel it suits my game perfectly," Tsitsipas added.
Earlier, Tsitsipas also defeated qualifier Alexander Ritschard in the first round on Tuesday, June 28. He will now be looking to get past a spirited Kyrgios and book his berth in the fourth round at SW19. | https://www.indiatoday.in/sports/tennis/story/wimbledon-stefanos-tsitsipas-lauds-nick-kyrgios-for-his-fighting-spirit-have-great-respect-for-the-way-he-fights-1968719-2022-06-30 | 2022-06-30T16:35:26Z | https://www.indiatoday.in/sports/tennis/story/wimbledon-stefanos-tsitsipas-lauds-nick-kyrgios-for-his-fighting-spirit-have-great-respect-for-the-way-he-fights-1968719-2022-06-30 | true |
The Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that the Biden administration can terminate a Trump-era asylum policy.
Known by many as the "Remain in Mexico" policy, the court ruled 5-4 in favor of the Biden administration. The three liberal justices along with Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh voted in the majority.
President Joe Biden suspended the program on his first day in office. However, Republican-led states sued to keep the policy, which they say reduced the number of immigrants entering the U.S.
Immigration advocates claim it's illegal to deny a person the right to seek asylum. | https://www.wptv.com/news/national/supreme-court-biden-administration-can-terminate-remain-in-mexico-policy | 2022-06-30T16:41:18Z | https://www.wptv.com/news/national/supreme-court-biden-administration-can-terminate-remain-in-mexico-policy | false |
AUSTIN (KXAN) — Put another notch in H-E-B’s customer service cap.
Dunnhumby, an eCommerce research platform that operates in the grocery retail space, named H-E-B the best grocery provider in the country in its first-ever eCommerce grocery experience rankings.
The Texas-based grocer beat titans of the eCommerce industry Amazon and Walmart by having, “the best emotional connection and online share of wallet, among their customer base, out of all of the retailers in this study,” Dunnhumby’s eCommerce Retailer Preference Index said.
The company’s study lauded H-E-B’s curbside/delivery website and app for their ease of use and reliability when it comes to ordering groceries. H-E-B launched its app right before COVID-19 lockdowns hit in 2019 and had been offering curbside pickup since 2015. The study said H-E-B’s increased commitment to its digital platform was a big reason why it’s at the top of the rankings.
“H-E-B had been strongly developing its digital capabilities and laying the ground at the perfect time before the pandemic’s boost in online grocery,” the study said.
The study said H-E-B increased its digital scores from 2018 the most of any grocery retailer that was included.
The top five eCommerce grocery retailers according to the study are:
- H-E-B
- Amazon
- Amazon Fresh
- Walmart
- Sam’s Club
- Kroger
- BJ’s
- Sprouts
The study showed how H-E-B and Amazon compare, and while Amazon has a clear advantage in the volume of products, H-E-B performs much better than Jeff Bezos’ company in ease/reliability and substitutes, the study said. Those two preference drivers are some of the most important in the study’s ranking system.
When broken down into subcategories from ease/reliability, HEB outperforms Amazon in nearly all of them, ranging from convenient time slots and having the correct products to making groceries easy to find and the ability to pay easily.
The study said it gave further preference to retailers who owned its digital assets rather than relying on a third-party service like Instacart or DoorDash to fill its eCommerce orders.
“Moreover, there are several indications that H-E-B is winning with the eCommerce shopper on the omnichannel level,” the study said. “It has the highest share of wallet overall (online and brick-and-mortar) and is by far the leader in emotional connection in this study (one standard deviation above Sam’s Club, its closest competitor).” | https://www.yourbasin.com/news/h-e-b-tops-giants-amazon-walmart-in-ecommerce-grocery-ratings/ | 2022-06-30T16:43:11Z | https://www.yourbasin.com/news/h-e-b-tops-giants-amazon-walmart-in-ecommerce-grocery-ratings/ | false |
The technologies behind the 3D printed structure, called LINA, could support a near-future human foothold on the moon
NEW YORK, June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, space architecture and technology firm AI SpaceFactory announced its designs for LINA, the first lunar outpost developed in collaboration with NASA Kennedy Space Center (KSC) engineers and planetary scientists.
The design and testing of LINA is part of NASA's 2020 Announcement of Collaboration Opportunity (ACO) project Relevant Environment Additive Construction Technology (REACT), through which AI SpaceFactory and NASA KSC are advancing the prize winning technologies and materials that SpaceFactory created for NASA's 3D Printed Habitat Challenge. Through the ACO, AI SpaceFactory's original polymer, made with a Martian regolith simulant, was modified to use lunar regolith, or lunar soil, and both its material composite and mechanical extruder will be tested in a NASA vacuum chamber that simulates the environmental conditions on the Moon. The results will inform a sustainable 3D printing system capable of constructing large structures on the Moon's surface – with which AI SpaceFactory plans to ultimately use to print LINA.
"Our Mars habitat prototype MARSHA proved that 3D printing with a polymer composite was a strong solution for habitation off-world," said AI SpaceFactory CEO David Malott. "Developing LINA and printing in an environment that is void of atmospheric pressures or weather systems advances that technology through a new context, with new and more precise variables."
LINA is designed to be constructed by autonomous robots on the south pole of the Moon near the Shackleton crater, where near continuous sunlight on the crater's peaks could allow for solar power, while perpetual shadow on the crater's interior would allow harvesting of water ice. Its 3D printed Romanesque arches, which can withstand high compressive loads with minimal material, would be topped with 2.7 meters of lunar regolith to provide the maximum possible protection from radiation, micrometeorites, lunar seismic activity (moonquakes) and extreme thermal swings. The strength of AI SpaceFactory's polymer composite will support LINA's geometry for a sustainable and long-lasting structure that could support long-term habitation and further travel to more planets.
AI SpaceFactory is one of 17 companies selected by NASA's Space Technology Mission Directorate to participate in the 2020 ACO – a cohort that includes Blue Origin and SpaceX. The project's new lunar vacuum chamber, which will reside at NASA KSC Granular Mechanics and Regolith Operations (GMRO) Laboratory, a.k.a., Swamp Works, has been built and fitted with AI SpaceFactory's 3D printing extruder and mounted on a gantry designed and manufactured by NASA. The collaboration's first vacuum prints are expected this year.
About AI SpaceFactory
AI SpaceFactory develops advanced construction technologies for space exploration – autonomous robotics and sustainable materials – which will transform how we build and live on Earth. The company was founded in 2017 by David Malott to create construction technologies for long-term missions to the Moon and Mars, with the goal of revolutionizing the construction industry on Earth.

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Kaitlin Armstrong, the woman accused of killing cyclist Moriah Wilson, was captured at a Costa Rica hostel Wednesday, over a month after the murder.
U.S. Marshals worked with Homeland Security and authorities in Costa Rica to find her at the hostel on Santa Teresa Beach, which borders to Pacific Ocean, the U.S. Marshals Service announced Thursday. She will be deported and returned to the U.S.
Investigators found Armstrong, 34, had used a phony passport on May 18 to board a United Airlines flight from Newark, New Jersey, to San Jose, Costa Rica, according to U.S. Marshals.
U.S. Marshals had already known she was given transportation to the airport in Newark, but no flight reservations were found in her name.
Prior to the May 18 flight, Armstrong was seen on surveillance video at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport on May 14, where she boarded a plane to Houston before catching a connecting flight to New York.
The murder took place May 11, according to past reports from Austin Police. Wilson was shot and killed at a home off Maple Avenue in east Austin. Wilson, a world-class cyclist, was in Texas preparing to compete in a race. She is originally from Vermont.
An anonymous tipster told police that Armstrong believed her boyfriend was romantically involved with Wilson, leading her to become “furious,” “shaking with anger” and wanting to “kill” Wilson.
Both Wilson’s family and Armstrong’s boyfriend, however, have since denied reports that the two were romantically involved at the time of Wilson’s death.
Austin Police questioned Armstrong after the murder but did not arrest her at the time, U.S. Marshals said.
The department also issued a warrant for Armstrong’s arrest on May 17, days after she had already fled the state. Armstrong had also sold her black Jeep to a CarMax dealership in south Austin on May 13 prior to leaving Texas, U.S. Marshals said.
A federal arrest warrant for Armstrong was obtained on May 25 for unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. | https://www.kron4.com/news/national/kaitlin-armstrong-captured-in-costa-rica-officials-say-she-used-a-phony-passport/ | 2022-06-30T16:44:41Z | https://www.kron4.com/news/national/kaitlin-armstrong-captured-in-costa-rica-officials-say-she-used-a-phony-passport/ | false |

Texas woman accused in cyclist death arrested in Costa Rica
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A Texas woman suspected in the fatal shooting of professional cyclist Anna Moriah Wilson at an Austin home has been arrested in Costa Rica, the U.S. Marshals Service said Thursday.
Kaitlin Marie Armstrong, 34, was arrested Wednesday at a hostel on Santa Teresa Beach in Provincia de Puntarenas, the Marshals Service said in a statement. Armstrong was expected to be returned to the United States, where she faces a murder charge, the agency said.
“The Marshals Service elevated the Kaitlin Armstrong investigation to major case status early in this investigation, which likely played a key role in her capture after a 43-day run,” said U.S. Marshal for the Western District of Texas Susan Pamerleau.
Wilson, 25, was found dead May 11, and Austin police on May 19 issued a murder warrant for Armstrong.
Authorities said Armstrong sold her vehicle May 13, then flew from Austin to Houston shortly after being questioned that day by authorities about Wilson’s death. She then flew to New York before using a fraudulent passport to fly from Newark, New Jersey, to San Jose, Costa Rica, on May 18, the service said.
Wilson, a competitive gravel and mountain bike racer and Vermont native known as “Mo,” had been in Austin for a cycling event. According to an affidavit, Wilson had previously dated Armstrong’s boyfriend, cyclist Colin Strickland, who has cooperated with investigators and is not a suspect.
According to the affidavit, Armstrong’s SUV was seen on surveillance video outside the home where Wilson was found shot to death.

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.

Plastic Market is anticipated to create lucrative growth opportunities for the extrusion application segment in the coming years
Posted on 2022-06-30 by researchinsights in Industrial // 0 Comments
Plastic Industry Overview
The global plastic market size was valued at USD 593.00 billion in 2021. It is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.7% from 2022 to 2030.
The increasing plastic consumption in the construction, automotive, and electrical & electronics industries is projected to support market growth during the forecast period. Regulations to decrease gross vehicle weight to improve fuel efficiency and eventually reduce carbon emissions are driving plastic consumption as a substitute for metals, including aluminum and steel, for manufacturing automotive components.
The growth of the construction industry in emerging markets such as Brazil, China, India, and Mexico has been instrumental in fueling the demand for plastics. The progress of the overall market can be attributed to increased foreign investment in these domestic construction markets, as a result of easing FDI norms and requirements for better public and industrial infrastructure.
Gather more insights about the market drivers, restrains and growth of the Global Plastic Market
The plastics market demand in the U.S. was valued at USD 86.02 billion in 2021. The high market share of the country is attributed to the presence of the well-established automotive, aerospace & defense, and electronics industries. The country is characterized by a low-risk environment, a stable economy, and a robust financial sector. These factors have provided a multitude of opportunities for investors in recent years, which are likely to trigger infrastructure spending in the country. This, in turn, is projected to positively impact the demand for plastics in the U.S. construction industry.
The growing population, coupled with rapid urbanization and industrialization in emerging economies, has been impelling federal governments to increase their construction spending to cater to increasing infrastructure needs. Rising construction spending by governments, particularly in China and India, will drive the demand for plastic in infrastructure and construction applications.
Stringent regulations regarding depletion and recyclability of conventional materials such as metal and wood are anticipated to drive greater plastic demand from construction industries in insulation, pipes, cables, floorings, windows, storage tanks, and others. Polymer fittings are also generally quite simple and easy to install, compared to metals or wood, with a wide range of color combinations adding to their aesthetic appeal.
Plastic has 85% less specific gravity compared to metals. When used in the automotive and construction industries, they enable approximately 80% weight savings and 30% to 50% cost savings in individual components. The increasing incidences of positive cases of COVID-19 across the globe due to new virus variants are positively influencing the demand for plastic in medical devices such as testing equipment, ventilators, gloves, syringes, surgical trays, and medical bags.

Macron says compromise has been found over North Macedonia's EU bid
PARIS, June 30 (Reuters) - French President Emmanuel Macron said on Thursday he thinks a compromise solution has been found for the EU membership negotiation framework for North Macedonia, without giving any details.
EU-member Bulgaria had refused to approve the membership negotiation framework for North Macedonia because of disputes over history and language.
But Bulgarian lawmakers voted to allow the government to lift its veto following tweaks in the framework text that would guarantee the rights of Bulgarians in North Macedonia through constitutional changes and commit Skopje to maintaining good relations with Bulgaria.
"I think we have found a compromise solution," Macron said at a news conference at the NATO summit in Spain. France holds the rotating EU presidency.
North Macedonian Prime Minister Dimitar Kovacevski said he had received a proposal from Macron's office but did not give any details.
"This proposal, whose preparation takes into account our positions and demands, will be put through a broad consultation process," Kovacevski said in a statement, adding that the answer would be ready within days.
Albania is also being held back in its bid to join the EU because Brussels has linked its progress to that of North Macedonia.
"The latest French proposal, which is also the final one, gives North Macedonia the possibility of an unconditional accession and paves the way for the official start of talks for the membership of both countries in the European Union," Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama tweeted.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Ketanji Brown Jackson was sworn in to the Supreme Court on Thursday, shattering a glass ceiling as the first Black woman on the nation’s highest court.
The 51-year-old Jackson is the court’s 116th justice, and she took the place of the justice she once worked for. Justice Stephen Breyer’s retirement took effect at noon.
Moments later, joined by her family, Jackson recited the two oaths required of Supreme Court justices, one administered by Breyer and the other by Chief Justice John Roberts.
“With a full heart, I accept the solemn responsibility of supporting and defending the Constitution of the United States and administering justice without fear or favor, so help me God,” Jackson said in a statement issued by the court. “I am truly grateful to be part of the promise of our great Nation. I extend my sincerest thanks to all of my new colleagues for their warm and gracious welcome.”
Roberts welcomed Jackson “to the court and our common calling.” The ceremony was streamed live on the court's website.
Jackson, a federal judge since 2013, is joining three other women, Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Amy Coney Barrett — the first time four women will serve together on the nine-member court.
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.
The Senate confirmed Jackson's nomination in early April, by a 53-47 mostly party-line vote that included support from three Republicans.
Jackson had been in a sort of judicial limbo since, remaining a judge on the federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., but not hearing any cases. Biden elevated her to that court from the district judgeship to which she was appointed by President Barack Obama.
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.
The court issued final opinions earlier Thursday after a momentous and rancorous term that included overturning Roe v. Wade’s guarantee of the right to an abortion. One of Thursday’s decisions limited how the Environmental Protection Agency can use the nation’s main anti-air pollution law to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from power plants, a blow to the fight against climate change. | https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/Jackson-to-be-sworn-in-as-Breyer-retires-from-17276724.php | 2022-06-30T16:57:54Z | https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/Jackson-to-be-sworn-in-as-Breyer-retires-from-17276724.php | false |

This year, NPR Music is celebrating Black Music Month with an array of brand new Tiny Desk concerts — both from home and from behind our beloved Desk. Together, these artists represent the past, present and future of Black music. This month of carefully curated shows is a celebration of Black artists expressing themselves in ways we've never seen before, and of the Tiny Desk's unique way of showcasing that talent.
"We celebrate Black Music Month. This has been Black magic." Truer words may have never been spoken behind the Tiny Desk as R&B goliath Usher caps off our month-long celebration of Black music, highlighting a catalog chock-full of hits spanning 25 years. It's been over two years since NPR headquarters was abuzz with chatter of a legend in the building. After an early morning rehearsal for his set at the Something in the Water Festival in Washington, D.C., he made his way over to deliver an unforgettable performance.
Usher and his band, all dipped in black, set it off with an introduction over a funky horn-laced instrumental reminiscent of a Blaxploitation flick. They keep that groove going right into a reworked version of his 1997 breakout single, "You Make Me Wanna..." Twenty-five years later, Usher sits arguably as the king of R&B. Between 2000 and 2010, there was no debate whatsoever, with his string of records that included the biggest R&B album of the 21st century, Confessions.
What he's done in the vocal booth is only half of his claim to fame. The stage is where he's continued to shine as he prepares for the second leg of his Las Vegas residency. This loose and playful set touches on his many career phases; the crooning, the deeply personal, the club bangers and even the Tik Tok challenges indicate that he could just be reaching his prime. Recently, we've heard plenty of hot takes, wild battles and social media fodder about who sits at the mountaintop in the world of R&B. Usher Raymond has entered the chat.

How to safely celebrate Fourth of July with fireworks
(CNN) - The Fourth of July holiday begins this weekend, and many families are planning big celebrations.
Fireworks are always exciting on this holiday, but while the majestic explosions are captivating to watch, it is important to remember they come with a risk.
“Respect them. They’re explosives. They’re dangerous,” said Alex Hoehn-Saric, chair of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Hoehn-Saric says the Fourth of July holiday is one of the most dangerous times of the year. Last year, there were around 11,500 emergency room visits from fireworks-related injuries.
The injuries are everything from burns to concussions. Some injuries result in death.
“We really see most of our injuries around this time,” he said.
It’s not just fireworks that can cause injuries. Sparklers can be just as dangerous.
“Sparklers burn at 2,000 degrees, so it’s like having a blowtorch in your hand,” Hoehn-Saric said.
If you are going to set off your own fireworks, officials recommend the following tips:
- Make sure it is legal to set them off in your area.
- Light only one firework at a time.
- Keep them away from any body parts and from other people.
- Do not try to re-light a faulty firework.
- Keep water handy to put out any flames.
- Don’t ever handle fireworks while impaired.
- Always monitor your children, and never let them handle fireworks.
- If you do happen to get a serious burn, seek medical attention immediately.

BEIRUT (AP) — Qatar has donated $60 million to the Lebanese army, hard hit by the Mediterranean nation's unprecedented economic meltdown, Qatar News Agency reported Thursday.
The announcement came shortly after Qatar's Foreign Minister Mohammad bin Abdulrahman Al Thani arrived in Beirut, where he is expected to meet senior Lebanese officials.
Lebanon's nearly three-year crisis has put unprecedented pressure on the U.S.-backed army’s operational abilities, wiping out soldiers’ salaries and wrecking morale. The overall deterioration puts at risk one of the few forces unifying Lebanon — the military. Over the past years, the army has been receiving assistance, including food supplies, from friendly countries.
Al Thani, who is also Qatar’s deputy prime minister, is in Lebanon to attend the Arab Foreign Ministers Consultative Meeting, the report said.
Since the crisis erupted in October 2019, the Lebanese pound has lost more than 90% of its value, tens of thousands have become jobless and three quarters of the population of 6 million, including 1 million Syrian refugees, now lives in poverty.
The economic crisis is rooted in decades of corruption and mismanagement by the ruling class, which has been running the country since the end of the 1975-90 civil war.
The report said Qatar announced in July last year that the Gulf Arab sheikhdom would support the Lebanese army with 70 tons of food every month for a year. | https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Qatar-donates-60-million-to-Lebanon-s-army-17276722.php | 2022-06-30T17:01:01Z | https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Qatar-donates-60-million-to-Lebanon-s-army-17276722.php | true |
There is still some surprise that Chelsea seem determined to re-sign defender Nathan Ake five years after he was sold to Bournemouth and deemed not good enough. For a player who has struggled to become anything more than a rotational option for Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, the defensive reinforcements Thomas Tuchel needs were suspected to be of a higher calibre.
Ake is a competent and experienced Premier League defender but probably little more, particularly with the Blues looking to replace the hole left by Antonio Rudiger who became a big presence for Tuchel in the final year of his contract.
Our colleagues at the Manchester Evening News are reporting that City will not allow Ake to leave the club unless they have a replacement lined up. Chelsea will need to pay at least £50million for City to even consider allowing Ake to leave. Chelsea have made a proposal to for Ake, a source has told football.london.

Even for less, it seemed like a deal without much excitement or logic, now it bears even little point should Chelsea have to break their transfer record for a defender on Ake. This gives Todd Boehly a decision to make. Why spend upwards of £50million on Ake, who played fewer than 20 Premier League games for City last term, when you could pay similarly for long-term target Jules Kounde?
Local reports out of Sevilla on Wednesday suggested that Chelsea were back in for Kounde after it seemed the long-held interest had cooled with Juventus' Matthijs de Ligt and Ake higher up on the wishlist. Though given the rebuild Chelsea desire this summer, Ake at 27 feels less of a valuable addition than Kounde, at 23, could offer in the long-term.
The same argument could be made for spending a large amount on de Ligt at 22, a player you would be committing significant funds to for the long-term. If Tuchel is purely looking at the short-term, the rumours of interest in Napoli's Kalidou Koulibaly feel more logical - a dominant defender who one would hope could offer an instant impact in the Premier League. And what about Gleison Bremer? Also from Serie A, voted the league's best defender in 2021/22 and is set to leave Torino this window.
Chelsea need to spend on the current squad to improve the current defence but they need to do it wisely. Ake would feel more like a placeholder, targeted out of opportunity than long-term planning or care for the wider vision over how this squad could grow in the coming years.
What is the true value in spending £50million on Ake, when you've got an exciting academy graduate like Levi Colwill you could promote on the left-side of defence? Kounde would be improving the opposite side, able to play in a back-three, four or either fill in as a conventional right-back as he has for France recently in the UEFA Nations League.

BURBANK, Calif., June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the Disney Movie Moments program that provides children's hospitals with special access to new movie titles from The Walt Disney Studios is expanding to include nearly 100 additional hospitals, more than doubling the current number of program participants.
Building on a longstanding commitment to help reimagine the patient experience in children's hospitals, the unique program offers opportunities for kids and their families to enjoy first-run movies together – along with other hospitalized children – providing a sense of community during a time in which they may not be able to visit movie theaters.
"We've supported children's hospitals for many years and are committed to fostering special moments for children and families to bring a little joy into their lives during these tough moments," said Alan Bergman, Chairman, Disney Studios Content. "We are proud to continue that work by expanding our Disney Movie Moments initiative and bringing the magic of our stories to more hospitals."
Disney is teaming up with long-time collaborator Starlight Children's Foundation to expand to even more hospitals to deliver on the goal of creating positive memories during a child's time at a hospital.
"Transforming the hospital experience is core to our mission at Starlight of delivering happiness to seriously ill children and their families to reduce the stress of hospitalization and medical procedures," said Adam Garone, CEO of Starlight Children's Foundation. "When kids are hospitalized, they miss out on the most important parts of being a kid, like having fun and going to the movies. That's why we're grateful for our long-term work with Disney to bring these magical Disney Movie Moments to pediatric patients at our network of children's hospitals and facilities."
To celebrate the expansion, new and existing participant hospitals kicked off their programs with a special screening of Disney and Pixar's latest film Lightyear now playing in theaters everywhere. At the University of New Mexico Children's Hospital in Albuquerque, New Mexico on June 23, 2022 and at Valley Children's Hospital in Madera, California on June 30, 2022, respectively, children and their families watched the new movie title, received giveaways and met with animators.
To date, the program has streamed 40,000 hours of content. Moving forward, the company will continue to use proprietary technology to deliver first-run titles directly to children's hospitals from Disney, Walt Disney Animation Studios, Pixar Animation Studios, Marvel Studios, Lucasfilm and 20th Century Studios, along with select customized talent video greetings.
Disney Movie Moments was first established in 48 hospitals in 2014 as part of the company's commitment to delivering comfort and joy to children and their families.
The Disney Movie Moments program is part of a larger, global mission to support children's hospitals and pediatric places of care. In 2018, Disney announced a global commitment of $100 million to help reimagine the patient experience in children's hospitals. Other efforts include transforming hospital spaces with interactive murals and digital equipment featuring mesmerizing Disney content and familiar characters; creating personalized moments by delivering Disney-themed Starlight hospital wear, care packages, and products; providing engaging content via complimentary access to Disney+ and other digital content; and supporting children's hospital staff through specially-designed training classes and staff badges globally. This work builds on a legacy of support for kids and families that started in the 1930s when Walt Disney first began visiting hospitalized children.

Texas woman accused in cyclist death arrested in Costa Rica
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A Texas woman suspected in the fatal shooting of professional cyclist Anna Moriah Wilson at an Austin home has been arrested in Costa Rica, the U.S. Marshals Service said Thursday.
Kaitlin Marie Armstrong, 34, was arrested Wednesday at a hostel on Santa Teresa Beach in Provincia de Puntarenas, the Marshals Service said in a statement. Armstrong was expected to be returned to the United States, where she faces a murder charge, the agency said.
“The Marshals Service elevated the Kaitlin Armstrong investigation to major case status early in this investigation, which likely played a key role in her capture after a 43-day run,” said U.S. Marshal for the Western District of Texas Susan Pamerleau.
Wilson, 25, was found dead May 11, and Austin police on May 19 issued a murder warrant for Armstrong.
Authorities said Armstrong sold her vehicle May 13, then flew from Austin to Houston shortly after being questioned that day by authorities about Wilson’s death. She then flew to New York before using a fraudulent passport to fly from Newark, New Jersey, to San Jose, Costa Rica, on May 18, the service said.
Wilson, a competitive gravel and mountain bike racer and Vermont native known as “Mo,” had been in Austin for a cycling event. According to an affidavit, Wilson had previously dated Armstrong’s boyfriend, cyclist Colin Strickland, who has cooperated with investigators and is not a suspect.
According to the affidavit, Armstrong’s SUV was seen on surveillance video outside the home where Wilson was found shot to death.

Restaurants have long had a profitability issue. The pandemic and now record inflation have pushed the industry to the brink, Tablz offers a solution that will bring dining rooms back into the black.
NEW YORK, June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Tablz, (www.tablz.com) curates a network of the best tables in the best restaurants across North America. Founded in Ottawa in 2021, by a team of multi-time founders, Tablz is revolutionizing the future of restaurant dining by monetizing the physical real estate in dining rooms. They are excited to announce they completed a $2.5m USD pre-seed financing led by RiverPark Ventures, Another Round VC, In Good Company Hospitality, Branded Strategic Hospitality, and notable founders such as Krystle Mobayeni (Bento Box) & Steve Simoni (BBot/Doordash).
With this investment Tablz plans to augment its leadership team and bring 1000's of new tables into its network.
"After a successful pilot period where we saw 2500+ premium tables organically and voluntarily booked by consumers, we are excited to leave stealth mode and make a lot of noise," said Frazer Nagy, co-founder and CEO of Tablz.
"By the end of 2022, 100 marquee properties will be utilizing Tablz, tens of thousands of bookings, and a waitlist of restaurants waiting to join before Christmas," continues Frazer, "Despite the current stock market turmoil, the fundamentals for growth in the travel and hospitality space remain bullish due to the fact that consumer savings in Millennial and Gen X bank accounts are at an all time high. In Canada alone, that accounts for $300B and $2.7T in the USA. We live in an experience based economy, travel and tourism is the category that is identified by these demographics as a significant portion of their budget, compounded by the pent up demand coming out of COVID."
Tablz is an opt-in upgrade, like first class on an airplane, that allows diners to view a 3D walk-through of a restaurant's dining room and pay to pick the exact table they will sit at. Currently restaurants on the Tablz network are selling tables from $5-$100, with many restaurants having a yearly dining room value of over $100,000, in net-new profit with no cost attached.
Tablz not only enables restaurants to unlock their greatest asset, but it fundamentally changes the relationship between the diner and the restaurant itself. Tablz changes this dynamic as it can personalize every dining experience. Are you on a date, taking your mom out for dinner, fighting to find a group table to watch the big game or need disability access? Tablz can now find you the table based on your individual needs.

BEIJING, June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As Hong Kong celebrates the 25th anniversary of its return to China, the "One Country, Two Systems" policy is hailed as a fundamental guarantee for the city's prosperity and stability.
Chinese President Xi Jinping, who arrived in Hong Kong on Thursday for the anniversary celebration, said facts have proven the great vitality of "One Country, Two Systems," which guarantees Hong Kong's long-term prosperity and stability and ensures the well-being of the Hong Kong compatriots.
Delivering a short speech at the West Kowloon high-speed rail station, Xi called on Hong Kong to uphold "One Country, Two Systems" unswervingly and strive for a brighter future.
Xi: Hong Kong has emerged stronger after tests
"It has been five years since my last visit to Hong Kong," said Xi, who visited Hong Kong in 2017 as the city celebrated the 20th anniversary of its return to China.
Xi said he has been concerned about and caring for Hong Kong all along. "My heart and the central government's heart are always with the Hong Kong compatriots," he said.
He said Hong Kong had withstood a series of grave tests and overcome a series of risks and challenges over a period of time, adding that the city has since emerged stronger and shown great vigor.
Hailing the strong vitality of "One Country, Two Systems," he said as long as the principle is upheld unswervingly, Hong Kong will surely have an even brighter future and make new, greater contributions to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Xi will attend a meeting celebrating the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to China and the inaugural ceremony of the sixth-term government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) on Friday.
During a meeting with HKSAR Chief Executive Carrie Lam on Thursday, Xi spoke highly of her efforts to firmly implement the "One Country, Two Systems" principle and the Basic Law and her role in facilitating a major transition from chaos to order in Hong Kong.
'Resounding success'
"One Country, Two Systems" is a basic policy that the Chinese government has been implementing in Hong Kong since resuming the exercise of sovereignty over it on July 1, 1997.
Despite the many challenges over the past 25 years, the practice of "One Country, Two Systems" in Hong Kong has been a "resounding success," Xi said when meeting with newly elected and appointed sixth-term Chief Executive of the HKSAR John Lee on May 30.
The central government's resolve to fully and faithfully implement the principle of "One Country, Two Systems" has never wavered, still less will it change, he told Lee.
Xi has repeatedly stressed the need to fully and faithfully implement the principle – stay committed to the basis of "One Country" and leverage the benefits of "Two Systems" well.
Hong Kong has achieved remarkable development under "One Country, Two Systems" since its return to China.
In 2021, Hong Kong's economy grew to 2.86 trillion Hong Kong dollars (about $364 billion), up from 1.37 trillion Hong Kong dollars in 1997. During the period, its total foreign trade in goods more than tripled to 10.27 trillion Hong Kong dollars.
Hong Kong has emerged stronger as an international financial, shipping and trade center. It has been consistently rated by global institutions as one of the freest and the most competitive economies with a world-class business environment.
The average life expectancy in Hong Kong in 2021 stood at 83 years for males and 87.7 years for females, compared to 76.8 years and 82.2 years, respectively, in 1997.

VERO BEACH, Fla., June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- With the upcoming celebration of our nation's independence, Watercrest St. Lucie West Assisted Living and Memory Care honors their own resident veteran, former prisoner of war and decorated war hero, Francis Xavier O'Connell.
At 94 years of age, United States Army Chief Warrant Officer 4 Francis O'Connell spends his days living an active lifestyle in the luxury senior living community of Watercrest St. Lucie West in Port St. Lucie, Florida. After decades of serving his country in combat and leadership, O'Connell now finds the time to partake in entertainment and socializing with his fellow residents, enjoying his water-view apartment adorned with military medals and accommodations.
"Our residents and associates here at Watercrest St. Lucie West truly interact as a family, and we could not be prouder of our resident hero Francis O'Connell for his outstanding military service and dedication to our country," says Diann McDonough, Community Relations Director at Watercrest St. Lucie West.
After graduating from high school, O'Connell enlisted in the Army and joined the 45th Infantry Division. His unit took part in three intense, but victorious amphibious assault landings in Italy from 1943-1944. During his fourth assault in September of 1944, O'Connell and his unit were surrounded by Panzer tanks and German infantry and taken prisoner for 9 months until they were freed by Allied forces. He returned home, weighing only 80 pounds and spent 3 months in a hospital recovering from malnutrition.
A devoutly religious man, Francis O'Connell never wavered in his belief that, "he survived the war and being a P.O.W. through the power of prayer from his mother, Theresa O'Connell."
After his rehabilitation, O'Connell earned a bachelor's degree in business administration from Brown University and rejoined the Army in 1949 with a promotion to Warrant Officer. He served in the Intelligence Division in numerous duty stations in the U.S. and internationally in Germany, Saudi Arabia, Ecuador and Brazil until his retirement from the Army in 1984. He continued in the 63rd Division of the U.S. Army Reserves as a Personnel Officer until 1989.
Francis O'Connell joined the Watercrest family as a resident in March of 2022 and greatly enjoy his new home and newfound friendships in the community. Watercrest St. Lucie West is well-known in the St. Lucie area for their outstanding commitment to community partnerships, fundraising involvement, and hosting of social events throughout the year. From their annual Walk to End Alzheimer's event, to the ceremonies honoring U.S. Veterans, or the roaring Mardi Gras celebrations, the Watercrest St. Lucie West team ensures that residents, family members and guests experience engagement, interaction, recreation and culinary delight.

TAIPEI, June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- GIGABYTE 600 series motherboards have made their mark since the launch last October. Led by the flagship Z690 AORUS XTREME, a total of three high-end gaming motherboards won the iF Design Award recognition, followed by two Z690 AERO creator motherboards receiving the Red Dot Design Award honor. The GIGABYTE 600 series, from the enthusiast-grade models to budget-oriented options, have also been highly praised with over a hundred media recommendations worldwide. With the graphics cards being restocked on the market, many are eager to get their hands on a new PC build. Mainstream motherboards, such as the AORUS ELITE series, have now become the go-to choice for those looking for PC upgrades.
It is found that most gamers value high and stable frame rates, but a motherboard that falls short on both power delivery and thermal design would result in either throttling or overheating, thus hindering the overall system performance. The AORUS ELITE motherboards feature the best-in-class 14-phase power design, as well as the best-in-class full-metal heatsink. Even the B660M AORUS ELITE, the entry-level model in the family, is capable of passing the stress test when paired with the most powerful Core i9-12900K processor without either throttling or overheating. As for gamers who are interested in overclocking with no experience, the more advanced Z690M AORUS ELITE can easily drive the Core i9-12900K processor up to over 5Ghz with the built-in one-click overclocking function. The Z690M AORUS ELITE also supports the best-in-class DDR4 overclocking compatibility with up to XMP 5333MH, enabling gamers to use their existing DDR4 DIMMs and maximize their performance at the same time.
The upcoming DisplayPort 2.0 will push the refresh rate at 4K resolution even further up to 240Hz, making it the next-gen standard for gaming. The B660M AORUS ELITE with a Core-i9 processor and an RTX 3060 Ti graphics card can top 240fps at FHD resolution when running Fortnite based on the internal tests. The Z690 AORUS ELITE with a Core-i9 processor and an RTX 3070 Ti can even reach 240fps at QHD resolution with ease. The AORUS ELITE motherboards not only deliver instant performance boost but also provide expandability for future upgrades.

Standout North Tahoe High School student receives latest award honoring financial industry trailblazer.
MINNEAPOLIS, June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Resolute Family of Companies, a private equity firm and family office specializing in real estate and technology, announced today that it has recognized North Tahoe High School student, Laura Bravo-Perez, as the latest recipient of the Marcy Olson Memorial Scholarship.
"We are honored to have the opportunity to support Laura Bravo-Perez as she begins her pursuit of a career in finance, while at the same time recognizing the contributions of our dear friend and colleague, Marcy Olson," said Thomas J. Powell, founder of Resolute. "Marcy was a true leader in the industry and a role model and champion for women working in finance. Though her absence left an immense void in our hearts, each of us at Resolute has grown significantly because of her."
The Marcy Olson Memorial Scholarship aims to provide multi-year support for young women who are seeking careers and leadership positions throughout the financial industry. This year's recipient, Laura Bravo-Perez, has excelled both in and out of the classroom. Along with a weighted grade point average of 4.35, Bravo-Perez has also served on La Fuerza Latina's Citizens Climate Lobby student group, and she regularly volunteers with Toys for Tots, where she acts as a community donation resource organizer.
"It brought me joy to see that with the money I was receiving, what seemed like a far-reaching goal was actually going to become a reality," said Laura Bravo-Perez. "Thanks to everyone who was part of this generosity. I am looking forward to majoring in economics while exploring what the world has to offer beyond the Lake Tahoe region."
Bravo-Perez will be the first person in her family to earn a college degree and will be attending Stanford University. Her goal is to create financial literacy for other people of color and those from low-income communities.

(The Hill) – Senate President Pro Tempore Pat Leahy (D-Vt.), the most senior member of the Senate Democratic caucus who stands third in the line of presidential succession, fell and broke his hip and will undergo surgery Thursday.
Leahy, who is 82 years old, fell Wednesday evening at his home in McLean, Virginia, his office announced.
Leahy’s emergency surgery means he may have to miss time in the Senate, which would limit what Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) could schedule in the 50-50 Senate.
Any nominee who doesn’t have Republican support will have to wait for Leahy’s return to work unless there’s also an absence on the GOP side of the aisle.
“This morning, Sen. Leahy will undergo surgery to repair a broken hip that he suffered as a result from a fall at his house in McLean, Virginia, Wednesday night,” Leahy’s office announced in a statement.
The statement said lack of depth perception was a factor and that the senior senator is expected to make a full recovery.
“Having been born blind in one eye, the Senator has had a lifelong struggle with reduced depth perception. He has taken some remarkable dingers over the years but this one finally caught up with him,” his office said.
The office explained that doctors determined the best course of action to be surgery to repair his broken hip as soon as possible.
Leahy, who is serving his eighth Senate term, announced in November that he would retire at the end of this year.
Only Vice President Kamala Harris and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) are ahead of Leahy in the line of succession should President Biden not be able to perform his duties. | https://fox59.com/news/national-world/sen-leahy-third-in-line-to-presidency-falls-and-breaks-hip/ | 2022-06-30T17:19:11Z | https://fox59.com/news/national-world/sen-leahy-third-in-line-to-presidency-falls-and-breaks-hip/ | true |
Jos Buttler was appointed as England's new white-ball captain on Thursday and took immediate charge of the Twenty20 and one-day international cricket teams.
Vice-captain since 2015, the 31-year-old Buttler has deputized for Eoin Morgan on 14 occasions, including in the Netherlands last week after Morgan sat out with a groin injury.
Morgan announced his retirement from international cricket on Tuesday and the England and Wales Cricket Board wasted little time in confirming Buttler's promotion.
Buttler will take charge of 12 games in July, with T20 and ODI series against India and South Africa.
The wicketkeeper-batter is a ferocious striker of the ball. He has played 151 ODI games for England, scoring 4,120 runs at an average of 41.20, including 10 hundreds and 21 fifties. In T20s, he has won 88 caps scoring 2,140 runs with an average of 34.51.
Buttler is one of three England cricketers — with Dawid Malan and Heather Knight — to have scored hundreds in all three formats of the game.
“It is a great honor to take over from Eoin, and the place he has left English white-ball cricket in is exciting, and I'm inspired for the challenges ahead,” Buttler said.
Morgan is credited with transforming England's white-ball fortunes in 2015 with a bold, inventive approach. He led England to its first men's Cricket World Cup title in 2019, and the top of the ODI and T20 rankings.

COLUMBIA, Md., June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. Tomohiro Oda, Senior Scientist at Universities Space Research Association's (USRA) Earth from Space Institute, was recently appointed to the National Academy of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine Consensus Study Committee on the "Development of a Framework for Evaluating Global Greenhouse Emissions Information for Decision Making."
This ad hoc committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine (Chaired by Dr. Donald J. Wuebble; Staff officer, Dr. Rachel Silvern) will develop a framework to evaluate global anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) information to support decision making.
"This Consensus Study will allow us to identify the key challenges in monitoring GHG in support of climate monitoring, mitigation, and decision making," said Dr. Oda, who oversees USRA's GHG emissions modeling and monitoring activities. He added, "I am excited about joining the Consensus Study committee and working with the experts."
The objectives of the Consensus Study are to:
- Describe approaches used to develop global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions inventories.
- Discuss the potential uses and limitations of these approaches.
- Provide a framework to evaluate emissions information and inventories, including guidance for policy makers about their use in decision making.
- Present several case studies to demonstrate how the framework could be applied to evaluate emissions information and inventory approaches and identify strengths and opportunities for improvement for each case study.
- To the extent possible, identify ways to improve methodological transparency, sustainability and continuity of relevant observations, and product confidence in global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions inventories.
This "Fast-track" Consensus Study is being conducted on an accelerated timeline in order to inform discussions at the 27th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP27) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in November 2022 in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt. Last year at COP26 in Glasgow, UK, USRA was formally accepted by UNFCCC as an Observer, and Dr. Oda led USRA's very first delegation to COP. "I am excited to go back to the COP meeting this year and am honored to represent USRA again in impactful discussions," said Dr. Oda.
The Consensus Study Committee was formed in late May, and the first workshop for information gathering was held early this month. The second workshop is underway. The Consensus Study will result in a framework for evaluating emissions inventories and information and include several case studies for how such a framework could be applied in practice to specific sector- or country-based emissions inventories.
Members of the committee include:
Donald J. Wuebbles (Chair), Emeritus Professor of Atmospheric Science at the University of Illinois, and Director of Climate Science for Earth Knowledge
Kamaljit S. Bawa, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Biology at the University of Massachusetts Boston and Founder-President of the Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and the Environment (ATREE), Bengaluru, India

DALLAS (AP) — Airlines that have stumbled badly over the last two holidays face their biggest test yet of whether they can handle big crowds when July Fourth travelers mob the nation's airports this weekend.
Problems were popping up well before the weekend, with some disruptions caused by thunderstorms that slowed air traffic.
American Airlines canceled 8% of its flights on Tuesday and Wednesday, and United Airlines scrubbed 4% of its schedule both days, according to FlightAware.
Holiday revelers planning to drive face their own set of challenges, including high gasoline prices. The nationwide average has eased since hitting a record $5.02 in mid-June to $4.86 a gallon on Thursday, according to AAA, which expects prices to continue to ease because of rising gasoline inventories.
Americans are driving a bit less. Gas demand last week was down about 3% from the same week last June, according to government figures. In a Quinnipiac University poll in June, 40% of those surveyed said gas prices have caused them to change their summer vacation plans.
Air travel in the U.S. is almost back to pre-pandemic levels. Since last Saturday, an average of nearly 2.3 million people a day have gone through airport checkpoints — down just 8% from the same days in 2019. If that trend continues through weekend, records will be set for flying in the pandemic era.
Airlines may not have enough planes and flights to carry all of them, especially if there are cancellations due to weather, crew shortages or any other reason.
“Airlines are learning the hard way that there is a severe price for over-optimism,” said Joseph Schwieterman, a transportation expert at DePaul University. “They are on the edge of a cliff this holiday.”
Schwieterman calculates that airlines have little cushion between the number of travelers expected to fly this weekend and the flights they plan to operate — if all goes well. Any disruptions could cause chaos because planes are booked full — there will be no empty seats on later flights to accommodate stranded travelers.
Airlines have been caught short-staffed as they try to hire thousands of workers, including pilots, to replace those who they encouraged to quit when the pandemic caused air travel to plummet.
Many of them, including Delta, Southwest and JetBlue, have trimmed summer schedules to reduce stress on their operations. They are using larger planes on average to carry more passengers with the same number of pilots. Those steps haven't been enough so far this summer.
Delta Air Lines took the unusual step this week of warning travelers that there could be problems over the holiday weekend.
The Atlanta-based airline said it expects the biggest crowds since 2019, and this will create “some operational challenges.” It is allowing passengers booked on flights between Friday and the Monday holiday to change their schedule at no cost, even if the new flight comes with a higher fare.
“Delta people are working around the clock to rebuild Delta’s operation while making it as resilient as possible to minimize the ripple effect of disruptions,” the airline said.
Delta had by far the most canceled flights of any U.S. airline over the Memorial Day holiday stretch, when U.S. carriers scrubbed nearly 2,800 flights, and again last weekend, when it canceled 7% of its flights, according to FlightAware.
The airlines are increasingly trying to blame delays on understaffing at the Federal Aviation Administration, which manages the nation's airspace and hires air traffic controllers.
“This year versus previous years, the biggest issue has been air traffic control,” said Barry Biffle, the CEO of Frontier Airlines. “We've made a lot of steps to avoid the Jacksonville center in our scheduling, and we have reduced some flying to accommodate that.”
The FAA has a major facility in Jacksonville, Florida, that handles many flights up and down the East Coast. After a meeting with airline representatives in May, the FAA promised to increase staffing at the center.
Delta CEO Ed Bastian similarly blamed the FAA during an online meeting with employees Wednesday, trade publication Airline Weekly reported. Delta declined to comment.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg pushed back earlier this week when the head of the trade group Airlines for America blamed the FAA for delays.
“The majority of cancellations and the majority of delays have nothing to do with air traffic control staffing,” Buttigieg told “NBC Nightly News."
Helane Becker, an airline analyst for investment firm Cowen, said there are many reasons for the disruptions including weather, FAA ground stops that last too long, and flight crews hitting their legal limit of working hours in a day. The airlines “seem to fail” when it comes down to daily operations, and the FAA didn't train enough new air traffic controllers — a process that can take up to four years — to offset retirements.
“We expect it to be a long, tiresome summer for everyone,” she said.
The loudest lawmakers mostly seem to blame the airlines for leaving passengers stranded. Some point out that Congress gave the industry $54 billion in pandemic relief.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., urged Buttigieg to require airlines to issue refunds for delays longer than an hour and fine them for delays longer than two hours and for scheduling flights that they can't staff. Sanders accused airlines of stranding passengers while charging “outrageously high prices.”
Buttigieg has threatened fines if airlines don't fix their operations.
Sens. Edward Markey, D-Mass., and Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., asked 10 airline CEOs this week to “take immediate action” to reduce travel disruptions. The senators demanded information about how each airline decides which flights to cancel and the number of consumer refunds requested and granted. | https://www.seattlepi.com/living/article/All-eyes-on-airlines-as-July-Fourth-holiday-17276968.php | 2022-06-30T17:20:36Z | https://www.seattlepi.com/living/article/All-eyes-on-airlines-as-July-Fourth-holiday-17276968.php | false |
BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — On Wednesday the Canadian government announced the extension of current COVID-19 border measures for travelers entering Canada until at least September 30.
"To help keep people in Canada safe, the Government of Canada put in place border measures to reduce the risk of the importation and transmission of COVID-19 and new variants in Canada related to international travel.
Today, the Government of Canada announced it is extending current border measures for travellers entering Canada. Requirements for travellers arriving to Canada are expected to remain in effect until at least September 30, 2022."
- Public Health Agency of Canada
Americans crossing the border must be fully vaccinated and are mandated to use the ArriveCAN app to submit information. They may also be subject to random arrival testing. You can find the current border measures here.
Congressman Brian Higgins (D, NY-26), who serves as co-chair of the Canada-US Interparliamentary Group and the Congressional Northern Border Caucus, recently called for an end to the use of the ArriveCAN app and released the following statement in response to the announcement:
“For communities living on either side of the United States – Canada border, the days stretching between Canada Day and Independence Day typically represent one of the busiest for cross-border travel. It is a time to celebrate our shared bond, respect national traditions and simply enjoy time with our friends and families on the opposite side of the border during the height of the summer. Continued hurdles to the free flow of people across the Northern Border are fizzling the fireworks border communities customarily enjoy this time of year. What now amounts to two and a half years of border restrictions, are breaking the U.S.-Canada relationship and our economies.”
- Rep. Higgins

Both sides rested their cases Wednesday in the trial of a man charged with the killing of rapper Nipsey Hussle after a day's delay because of an assault on the defendant by fellow jail inmates.
Closing arguments are set to begin Thursday in the trial of Eric Ronald Holder Jr., who is charged with first-degree murder in Nipsey's killing and attempted murder of two other men struck by gunfire.
Holder appeared in court with swollen eyes and staples closing a wound in the back of his head.
He was punched and cut with a razor by two inmates while waiting in a holding cell to come to court on Tuesday, his attorney Aaron Jansen said.
The motive for the attack was unclear, and the issue was not discussed in the courtroom.
Holder did not take the stand during his trial.
Jansen called two witnesses for the defense, including a private investigator and gang expert who testified to the seriousness of “snitching” allegations that the prosecution says were the motive for the shooting.
“As you grow up in the neighborhood, everybody knows the consequences of what it means to be labeled a snitch,” the investigator, Robert Freeman, said.
Both Nipsey and Holder grew up in the same South Los Angeles neighborhood, and had ties to the same gang, the Rollin' 60s.
Without naming Nipsey, Jansen asked whether discussions of acting as an informant are especially serious if they come from a revered figure in the group.
“If they’re an OG or looked upon, whatever they say is almost gold in the streets,” Freeman answered.
Previous witnesses testified that on March 31, 2019, in a conversation outside the hip-hop star's clothing store The Marathon, Nipsey told Holder there were rumors of “paperwork” suggesting he’d been informing to authorities, and that Holder needed to address it. Holder returned about 10 minutes later and shot Nipsey, the witnesses and prosecution said.
In his cross-examination of Freeman, Deputy District Attorney John McKinney got him to acknowledge that such conversations are not unusual, and that while beatings over them are frequent, killings over them are very rare.
"That kind of admonition is common in the hood among homies, among friends, is that correct?" McKinney asked.
“Yes,” Freeman answered.
“It’s not uncommon for someone to hear about it, and then address it. It happens all the time, right?"
Freeman again answered, “yes.”
“That person can do everything from deny it to get a piece of paper to say it didn’t happen,” McKinney said, and Freeman agreed.
The issue of “snitching” has hung over the entire case, not only as the alleged motive but in the reluctance to testify of prosecution witnesses, one of whom, Nipsey's friend and shooting eyewitness Evan “Rimpau” MacKenzie, failed to appear despite a subpoena and a bench warrant.
McKinney had rested the prosecution's case earlier Wednesday, the eighth day of testimony though the first in nearly a week after a pair of planned days off and the delay over Holder's assault, which was first reported by Rolling Stone.
In the face of overwhelming evidence including eyewitnesses who knew both Nipsey and Holder, surveillance photos and video, and testimony from the woman who acted as his unwitting getaway driver, Jansen acknowledged in his opening statement that Holder was the shooter, but said there were mitigating circumstances, including a lack of premeditation, that mean he is not guilty of first-degree murder.
Nipsey, whose legal name was Ermias Asghedom, had just released his major-label debut after years of underground acclaim and had been nominated for his first Grammy Award when he was killed at age 33. | https://www.nbcdfw.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/closing-arguments-nipsey-hussle-murder-trial-eric-holder/3004332/ | 2022-06-30T17:26:32Z | https://www.nbcdfw.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/closing-arguments-nipsey-hussle-murder-trial-eric-holder/3004332/ | true |

MIAMI – USA Basketball practice was winding down for the day. Players scattered about the Miami Heat practice court to go shoot some free throws and jumpers, with assistant coaches and other team staffers chatting with them and grabbing rebounds.
This was when Jim Boylen needed some alone time.
He grabbed a folding chair, carried it across the court, set it up at midcourt on the far sideline and spent a few minutes all by himself, surveying the scene, taking notes and checking things off the day’s practice plan.
“I was asking myself, ‘Did we get done what we have to get done today?’” said Boylen, the former University of Utah and Chicago Bulls head coach. “Because we can’t skip steps, we don’t have time to change course, and we’ve got a lot to get done.”
Boylen’s current job is a largely thankless and massive undertaking. He’s coaching USA Basketball in another window of World Cup qualifying — with games Friday at Puerto Rico and Monday at Cuba set to complete the first round of the tournament. The Americans (3-1) have already qualified for the second round, and going 2-0 in these next two games would move them significantly closer to clinching a spot in next year’s Basketball World Cup.
“I’ve said this before, and if I’m repeating myself, I’m sorry, but this is the most competitive thing I’ve ever done,” Boylen said. “And this is why: You have 10 days to put the team together, you have 11 days together as a team, seven practices, travel, and you play meaningful games that we need to win. You’re fighting a lot of issues. That makes it the most competitive thing.”
He’s not taking the Olympic team to Puerto Rico and Cuba. As usual, the Americans are using a team composed primarily of either G League players or others who are playing in overseas leagues. Most of the 12-man U.S. roster has some NBA experience, but many had not played together before arriving for camp in Miami last week.
That’s the difference: the teams that the U.S. will face on this trip have largely been together for years. The Americans, by comparison, installed their first out-of-bounds play on Saturday, four days before heading to Puerto Rico.
“It’s very difficult to come together and really play as a team,” said David Stockton, a World Cup qualifying veteran for the U.S. who was going to be part of this team until getting sidelined by a hand injury. “I think Coach does a great job of getting us back to the basics and bringing us together in such a short time to go against these teams that have played forever. You know how hyped up those teams are to play us, and all that comes with representing the best team in the world and having USA on your chest.”
That is a major selling point for Boylen and the Americans, although it apparently doesn’t have to be. Boylen said most players, when approached about playing for this team, said yes before the question could even be asked.
The second round of qualifying starts in August, and the records from the six games played in the first round will carry over. When the second round ends the teams will have played 12 qualifying games; the U.S. will likely need at least seven wins to grab one of the seven available World Cup spots from the FIBA Americas region.
A pair of wins on this trip would move the Americans that much closer. And while the U.S. is the four-time defending Olympic champions, plus the top-ranked nation in the world by FIBA, international games — especially in qualifying — are just different. Some rules of play differ than what U.S. players are typically dealing with, quarters are 10 minutes long instead of 12, and games often get quite physical, especially on the road.
“There’s a misconception, and I tell our guys this: We’re playing they’re game,” Boylen said. “We can’t have this ego where like we invented basketball. And we definitely didn’t invent World Cup qualifier basketball or FIBA Basketball, right? We are playing their game, on their turf, and it’s going to be a challenge. We have to have the appropriate fear, and respect our opponent, but we’re not going to be scared.”

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Cristiano Ronaldo is asking a U.S. judge to order a woman’s lawyer to pay the international soccer star more than $626,000 after claiming in a failed lawsuit seeking millions of dollars that Ronaldo raped the woman in Las Vegas nearly a decade earlier.
In a bluntly worded court document, Ronaldo’s attorney, Peter Christiansen, asks U.S. District Judge Jennifer Dorsey to make the woman’s attorney, Leslie Mark Stovall, personally responsible for the amount.
Stovall did not immediately respond Wednesday to telephone and email messages. Text messages to associate Larissa Drohobyczer were not answered. Stovall is due to file an answer with the court by July 8.
Dorsey on June 10 kicked the case out of court to punish Stovall for “bad-faith conduct” and the improper use of leaked and stolen documents to pursue the case.
Stovall “crossed the border of ethical behavior before he filed this action, and his disregard for the rules of this court has continued unabated,” the judge found.
Dorsey said in her 42-page order that dismissing plaintiff Kathryn Mayorga’s case outright with no option to file it again was a severe sanction, but said Ronaldo had been harmed by Stovall’s conduct.
The Associated Press generally does not name people who say they are victims of sexual assault, but Mayorga gave consent through Stovall and Drohobyczer to make her name public.
The bid for court costs and fees for Ronaldo’s attorneys, filed Friday, dwarfs a $375,000 hush-money payment that Mayorga received in 2010 to sign a confidentiality agreement and drop a criminal complaint alleging she was sexually assaulted.
“Given Stovall’s abuses and flagrant misconduct, Stovall should be made personally responsible for ensuring Ronaldo is reimbursed for having to defend against his vexatious and bad faith conduct,” Christiansen’s request for reimbursement said. He tallied attorney fees at between $350 and $850 per hour for nearly 1,200 hours of work.
Mayorga’s civil lawsuit — filed in 2018 in state court and moved in 2019 to federal court — eventually sought more than $25 million in damages, plus attorney fees for Stovall.
It alleged that Ronaldo or his associates violated the confidentiality agreement before a German news outlet, Der Spiegel, published an article in April 2017 titled “Cristiano Ronaldo’s Secret” based on documents obtained from what court filings term “whistleblower portal Football Leaks.”
Ronaldo’s attorneys accuse Stovall of obtaining stolen material containing privileged attorney-client communication and then trying repeatedly to make them pubic by attaching them to court filings.
A second court filing on Friday asks Dorsey to seal part of the court record containing confidential documents.
Mayorga is a former model and teacher who lives in the Las Vegas area. Her lawsuit said she met Ronaldo at a nightclub and went with him and other people to his hotel suite, where she alleged he assaulted her in a bedroom. She was 25 at the time. He was 24.
Ronaldo’s legal team does not dispute Ronaldo met Mayorga and they had sex in June 2009, but maintained it was consensual.
Ronaldo, now 37, is one of the most highly paid and recognizable sports stars in the world. He plays for the English Premier League club Manchester United and has captained the national team of his home country, Portugal. He spent several recent years playing in Italy for the Turin-based club Juventus.
Las Vegas police reopened their rape investigation after Mayorga’s lawsuit was filed in 2018, but Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson decided in 2019 not to pursue criminal charges. He said too much time had passed to prove the case to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt.
Stovall maintained that Mayorga didn’t break the hush-money settlement. Her lawsuit sought to void it, accusing Ronaldo and reputation-protection “fixers” of conspiracy, defamation, breach of contract, coercion and fraud.
The Las Vegas police report compiled about Ronaldo after Mayorga filed her lawsuit in 2018 might still become public under a court action pending in state court in Las Vegas.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is asking a judge to determine whether it has to comply with a public records request by The New York Times. The department argues that no charges were filed in the case.
A U.S. magistrate judge in Las Vegas said in March that a protective order that Dorsey imposed the order to prevent release of the 2010 agreement does not prevent the department from releasing its file.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal also is part of the case. Attorney Margaret McLetchie, representing the newspapers, did not immediately respond to messages. | https://www.krqe.com/sports/ronaldo-lawyers-seek-626k-from-womans-lawyer-in-vegas-case/ | 2022-06-30T17:28:39Z | https://www.krqe.com/sports/ronaldo-lawyers-seek-626k-from-womans-lawyer-in-vegas-case/ | true |
HONG KONG (AP) — Chinese leader Xi Jinping arrived Thursday in Hong Kong to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the British handover of a city that his rule has transformed from a global hub known for its political freedoms to one that is much more tightly controlled by the Communist Party.
In a staged event carried live on Chinese TV, students and others lined the platform of a high-speed rail station and packed a red carpet to greet the leader making his first trip outside of mainland China in nearly 2 ½ years — a choice that underscored Hong Kong’s ever-closer ties to the mainland. Waving small red Chinese and Hong Kong flags, the students chanted “Welcome, welcome! Warm welcome!” while city leader Carrie Lam greeted Xi and his wife, Peng Liyuan.
Under Xi’s leadership, China has reshaped Hong Kong, cracking down on protests, imposing a strict national security law used to silence dissent, introducing a more “patriotic” curriculum in schools, and revamping election laws to keep opposition politicians out of the city’s Legislature. The changes have all but eliminated dissenting voices in a place once known for its vibrant political debate and have driven many to leave.
In its view, China’s ruling Communist Party has restored stability to a city that was wracked with pro-democracy protests in 2019. For many in the U.S., the U.K. and other democratic nations, Xi has undermined the freedoms and way of life that distinguished the city from mainland China and made it a international center for finance and trade.
In an apparent reference to the 2019 protests, Xi told well-wishers on his arrival that Hong Kong has overcome many challenges over the years and had been “reborn from the ashes” with “vigorous vitality.” Later after meeting with Lam, he praised her for ending what he said was chaos that had gripped the city and for ensuring that only “patriots” would rule Hong Kong.
“As long as we stick to the ‘one country, two systems’ framework, Hong Kong will certainly have a brighter future and will make new and bigger contributions to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese people,” he said in a speech at the Hong Kong West Kowloon train station.
Since Britain returned the territory to Chinese rule on July 1, 1997, Hong Kong has been a special administrative region that, like nearby Macao, is governed separately from the rest of China. But Xi has steadily eroded that distinction, and critics say, undermined the policy of maintaining two systems.
On Friday, he will celebrate the anniversary of the handover and officiate at the swearing in of John Lee, who will succeed Lam as city leader.
It is Xi’s first time outside of mainland China since the COVID-19 pandemic took hold and Beijing imposed a “zero-COVID” policy that includes severe restrictions on travel. It’s also his first visit to Hong Kong since the massive protests that grew to include calls for broader democratic freedoms — but only appeared to harden Beijing’s resolve to limit civil liberties in the territory.
Local media reported that Xi and Peng planned to spend Thursday night in the Chinese city of Shenzhen — 15 minutes away from Hong Kong by high-speed train — and return to the city on Friday. It’s not clear why that’s the case but could reflect concerns about COVID-19 or security.
The combination of China’s COVID-19 policies and its crackdown on dissent in Hong Kong have dramatically changed the city in the past two years.
Beijing has used the national security law to arrest over 150 pro-democracy activists and supporters. National security police have targeted the city’s most outspoken pro-democracy media in Hong Kong, with raids that forced several outlets to shut down, including the city’s last pro-democracy newspaper, Apple Daily.
The changes to election laws reduced the number of lawmakers who are directly voted in, and a new committee now vets the applications of those planning to run for office, to ensure they are “patriots” loyal to Beijing. Many say that has turned the Legislature into a body that merely provides a rubber stamp for Beijing’s policies.
Meanwhile, tough COVID-19 quarantine restrictions for incoming travelers have led to what observers call “brain drain” as tens of thousands left for cities like Singapore and Dubai that have resumed quarantine-free travel.
As part of his carefully choreographed visit, Xi met Thursday with some 160 people from various sectors of Hong Kong, including businessmen, religious leaders and politicians. He then visited the Hong Kong Science Park to inspect Hong Kong’s development of innovation and technology, according to a government statement.
Earlier this week, thousands of guests for the July 1 events — including top officials, lawmakers and diplomats — checked in to quarantine hotels and have taken daily tests as part of coronavirus precautions.
Police have also ramped up security, designating security zones and road closures as well as a no-fly zone for Friday.
More than 10 journalists from local and international media outlets had their applications to cover the July 1 events rejected this week on “security grounds.”

The U.S. saw an average drop in buyer traffic of 18.2% year over year in May according to data from ShowingTime, with 35 markets recording double-digit showings per listing compared to 104 last May. For the third consecutive month, traffic was busiest in Burlington, Vt., and Bloomington-Normal, Ill.
CHICAGO, June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- May home showing traffic slowed again year-over-year throughout the U.S., with just 35 markets recording double-digit showings per listing, and the latest data shows a sea change in which markets are the most popular. That's according to ShowingTime, one of the residential real estate industry's leading technology providers of showing management and market statistics.
The smallest drop was in the Northeast, according to the ShowingTime Showing Index®, where its 13.3% decline was relatively modest compared to the other regions: the Midwest was down 15.1% year over year, the South was off 22.2% while the West's 45.3% decline in buyer activity was the most significant. Overall, the U.S. recorded an 18.2% downturn in activity in May.
Notably, the perennial leaders in buyer activity over most of the past year – Denver and Seattle – both fell out of the top 25 busiest markets, with each averaging around 10 showings per listing, breaking a streak that began in early 2021. The slowdown continued a trend that began this spring, ending what had been a months-long streak of year-over-year growth in buyer activity across the U.S.
During that earlier stretch, the number of markets recording double-digit showings per listing regularly reached triple digits. Though activity has slowed, Burlington, Vt., with 15.80 showings per listing and Bloomington-Normal, Ill., with 12.39 remained at the top of the list, with both also recording year-over-year increases in buyer traffic. Bridgeport, Conn. and Cleveland, Ohio were close behind, with Richmond, Va.; Akron, Ohio; Rochester, N.Y.; and Hartford, Conn. also recording double-digit showings per listing.
"Showing activity continues to be at levels lower than we're used to seeing at this time of year, pointing to a market in transition," said ShowingTime Vice President and General Manager Michael Lane. "Following the surge in mortgage rates, it's reasonable to expect that showing activity will continue to ease, especially when compared to last year's historic numbers."
The ShowingTime Showing Index is compiled using data from more than six million property showings scheduled across the country each month on listings using ShowingTime products and services. It tracks the average number of appointments received on active listings during the month.

BERLIN (AP) — The European Court of Human Rights said Thursday that a complaint against 33 countries filed by six young Portuguese climate activists will be examined by the tribunal’s top panel of judges, a move reflecting the case’s legal significance.
The activists, three of whom are minors, turned to the court almost two years ago in an effort to hold European governments accountable for their allegedly inadequate efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
The countries named in the complaint include the 27 member nations of the European Union plus the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Norway, Russia, Turkey and Ukraine.
The Strasbourg-based court said the case, which had already received priority status, would be bumped up to the 17-member Grand Chamber.
The court noted that the panel examines cases that present “a serious question” affecting the interpretation of the European Convention of Human Rights, or additional protocols, or “where the resolution of a question before the Chamber might have a result inconsistent with a judgment previously delivered by the court.”
One of the plaintiffs, 17-year-old Sofia Oliveira, said the decision to have the case heard by the Grand Chamber was encouraging.
“Now we hope that these judges will hear our case as soon as possible and that they will make the European governments take the urgent measures necessary to protect us,” she said.
The activists are supported by the Global Legal Action Network, an international nonprofit organization that challenges human rights violations. Its director, Gearóid Ó Cuinn, noted that of the 22 cases pending before the Grand Chamber, three are now related to climate change.
“The fact that the court has referred this case, along with two other climate cases, to the Grand Chamber is an extremely significant development which shows how serious a human rights issue it considers climate change to be,” Ó Cuinn said.
“By the end of the year, I’m hopeful we will see all of Europe’s major emitters on trial for failing to act properly on the climate crisis in what will be a hearing of unprecedented scale and consequence,” he added.

Which earbuds are better, Beats Studio Buds or Apple AirPods Pro?
Earbuds are a must for anybody who wants to listen to their favorite tunes on the go. Whether you wear them while commuting to work or at the gym, there are two high-quality earbuds worth your attention.
The AirPods Pro are Apple’s flagship earbuds known for their high-quality build and premium features. However, the Beats Studio Buds are also excellent, giving the Apple AirPods Pro a run for their money. It depends on what you want out of your earbuds, but there are some key differences to consider, primarily in price and design.
Beats Studio Buds
The Beats Studio Buds have only been around for a year but are already among the most popular earbuds, along with other Beats headphones, such as the PowerBeats Pro and Beats Fit Pro earbuds. They’re a great bargain pick, as they retail for $150 and deliver excellent audio quality and features comparable to the best earbuds by other industry-leading brands.
Beats Studio Buds pros
The Beats Studio Buds have a minimalist, lightweight design and come in a compact case that’s easy to carry around in your pocket. Each earbud has three built-in microphones for active noise-canceling and transparency modes that let wearers tune out external ambient noise or enhance it. They have an IPX4 protection rating, meaning they’re sweat-resistant and suitable for working out, but they shouldn’t be submerged in water.
They sync well with iOS devices, supporting Bluetooth 5.0 for a stable connection and spatial audio for an immersive listening experience when using Apple Music. The top of each earbud has a physical button for managing phone calls, music playback, accessing Siri and adjusting noise-canceling levels.
As with other Beats headphones, the bass is pronounced, making them ideal for listening to music genres such as hip hop, reggae and jazz. However, the sound is more balanced than other bass-heavy earbuds.
They come in red, black or white and come with three ear tips for adjusting the comfort and fit based on preference and the shape of your ear. Also, they offer up to 24 hours of total battery life.
Beats Studio Buds cons
From the outside, Beats Studio Buds look flawless, and while their compact design is appealing for some people, others might find the lack of a stem awkward. They also don’t have an auto-detection feature, so music playback continues when you remove them.
They don’t support wireless charging, and unlike other Apple and Beats earbuds, they don’t have a W1 or H1 chip for seamlessly transferring connections across devices. That means it’s necessary to pair one device at a time. Also, they charge with a USB-C cable, which can be inconvenient for those with several Apple devices that use Lightning-based connections.
AirPods Pro
The AirPods Pro are essentially an upgraded version of the original AirPods. Although their cost is steep, retailing at $250, they have a design and several features many users find worth the money.
AirPods Pro pros
The AirPods Pro boast a clean, sophisticated aesthetic design that’s considered an upgrade over the original AirPods. They have a more compact shape and a sealed-off ear tip design, which allows for true noise-cancelation. Also, the charging case is smaller than the one included with the Beats Studio Buds.
They have many of the same features as the Beats Studio Buds, including Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity, an IPx4 protection rating and 24 hours of battery life. However, there are a handful of features you won’t get with the Beats Studio Buds.
The AirPods Pro have a high-end H1 chip that lets you pair them with multiple devices simultaneously and seamlessly switch connections. It also allows users to access Siri simply by using the ‘Hey Siri’ activation phrase without pressing any buttons.
The audio quality is slightly clearer, and separation between highs and lows is more evident than on the Beats Studio Buds. However, unless you consider yourself an audiophile, you likely wouldn’t notice a significant difference.
Auto-detecting is built into the AirPods Pro, so music playback stops as soon as you take them off. The adaptive equalizer feature automatically optimizes sound based on what’s playing, and the force sensors on the button controls let you manage calls and music playback. Fast Fuel charging quickly juices the AirPods Pro battery, and unlike the Beats Studio Buds, the case supports wireless charging.
AirPods Pro cons
The AirPods Pro are expensive for earbuds and cost $100 more than the Beats Studio Buds. Unlike the original AirPods, there’s only one model of AirPods Pro, so you don’t have the option of choosing between current and previous generations if you’re looking to save a few bucks.
For example, although the 3rd Gen AirPods are the current model, the 2nd Gen AirPods are similar and cost less, making them ideal for those who want high-end earbuds, albeit with a few downgrades in features and functionality.
Although the AirPods Pro offer up to 24 hours of battery life, the Beats Studio Buds last longer with active noise-canceling enabled, making them suitable for long conference calls or video calling. Also, AirPods Pro are designed to integrate and function effortlessly with other iOS devices, so you wouldn’t use them to their full potential if you have an Android smartphone and other non-iOS devices.
Should you get Beats Studio Buds or AirPods Pro?
The Beats Studio Buds are excellent if you’re working with a budget. They deliver fantastic sound, work great with Android and iOS devices and offer slightly better battery life than the AirPods Pro.
However, if you don’t mind spending the money and already own other iOS devices, the AirPods Pro are the way to go. The active noise-canceling is slightly better, and additional features such as auto-detection, an H1 chip, force sensors and wireless charging enhance their functionality and ease of use, making them superior to the Beats Studio Buds.

The firm to double down on its core strategy with Fund IV while launching its first opportunity fund
SALT LAKE CITY and SAN FRANCISCO, June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Peterson Ventures, a pre-Series A venture firm that invests across SaaS and digital commerce announced today that it has raised over $140M in new capital for its Fund IV and Opportunity Fund I. Like its prior core funds, Peterson Ventures' Fund IV will invest up to ~$2.5M into Seed and Pre-seed stage startups. The Opportunity Fund I will enable the firm to invest follow-on checks at the growth stage in breakout portfolio companies from its core funds. With the launch of these two new funds, Peterson Ventures now has over $550M in assets under management.
Peterson Ventures was founded in 2012 and is the ten-year-old venture arm of the Peterson Partners platform, an independent investment management firm with over $1.8B assets under management, originally founded by Joel Peterson. Ben Capell, Managing Director at Peterson Ventures, joined the firm 12 years ago and helped to launch the firm's venture investing activities, and was joined by fellow partner, Ilana Stern, 3 years ago. Peterson Ventures has invested in six unicorns and had 2 IPO's in the last ten years, including Allbirds, Ethos, and Lucid Software.
"Being able to partner and collaborate with so many founders in the way that we do has been hugely satisfying," said Ben Capell, Managing Director at Peterson Ventures "We've invested in nearly 100 founders so far and we look forward to growing not only our portfolio but our team as well. I love the work we do and am honored to keep it going with the support of some amazing Limited Partners."
Peterson Ventures' investments are sourced from a three-pronged approach: 1) the firm's strong roots in the Utah tech hub, a state which saw $26B in transaction value generated in 2020; 2) access to the talent and entrepreneurial ecosystem at Stanford's GSB MBA program, where the firm's partners have a deep network from decades of teaching and investing in students as well as alumni; and 3) an elite network of founder alumni referring companies to Peterson Ventures. This combination affords Peterson Ventures early access to key deals.
"Being part of the Peterson Ventures team has been incredibly fulfilling," said Ilana Stern, General Partner at Peterson Ventures. "I love working one-on-one with our founders to leverage my operating experience as a former founder and CEO. I have been in their shoes and know how important and impactful it can be to have investors with you every step of the way, especially through the uncertainty of finding product-market fit and early scaling."
With nearly 100 investments, Peterson Ventures looks at SaaS and Digital Commerce startups with a specific lens. With SaaS, the firm pursues a vertical strategy, with investments across healthcare, future of work and e-commerce enablement. With digital commerce investments, the firm looks for entrepreneurs who are disrupting distribution, bypassing the middleman to get more direct access to customers and to provide higher quality products at better value to the end consumer. Its DTC investments focus on historically low NPS industries and experiences spanning e-commerce, healthcare, fintech, and consumer-enabled marketplaces.
"We love Peterson Ventures. They were the cornerstone investor in our first financing when we graduated from Stanford GSB with a vision and a powerpoint deck," said Peter Colis, Co-founder and CEO of Ethos Life. "It was harder to raise our pre-Seed than any subsequent round, and we are so grateful they took a bet on us day one and have been in our corner ever since.

Judge to temporarily block Florida’s 15-week abortion ban
Share
Updated: 10:15 AM PDT Jun 30, 2022
So I have made some notes and in the time I had and then there's some other comments that I don't have notes for. So florida passed into its constitution. An explicit right of privacy that is not contained in the U. S. Constitution. The florida Supreme Court has determined in its words, quote, florida's privacy provision is clearly implicated in *** woman's decision of whether or not to continue her pregnancy. In other words, on the issue of abortion, the florida Supreme Court has decided that women have *** privacy right under the State Constitution to not have that Right impacted up to 24 weeks at least. Yeah, further, the part of Supreme Court has found, quote, if *** legislative act imposes *** significant restriction on *** woman's right to seek an abortion, the act must further *** compelling state interest through the least intrusive means, that's the test of the florida. Supreme Court here. The act effectively bans with extremely limited exceptions, pre viable abortions previously permitted under florida law. The florida Court has held that the florida right of privacy is quote, much broader in scope in scope than that of the Federal Constitution. End, quote, In the in the case of tw justice crimes, in his concurring in part and dissenting, in part, decision wrote quote, If the United States Supreme Court were to subsequently received from roe versus wade. This would not diminish the abortion rights now provided by the privacy amendment of the florida constitution. End, quote In 2003, the Florida Supreme Court wrote, quote, any comparison between the federal and florida rights of privacy is in opposite. In light of the fact that there is no express federal right of privacy cause. End, quote. The florida. Supreme Court has explicitly rejected the federal standard that required *** petitioner in this case. That would be the plaintiffs has rejected the standard that required the plaintiff to prove that *** regulation regarding abortion has the purpose of placing *** substantial obstacle in the path of *** woman seeking to assert her rights. Thus, the plaintiffs in this case do not have *** threshold requirement which by which they must show with facts and factual findings that the law imposes *** significant restriction on *** woman's privacy rights. the defendants can see as the Supreme Court has held that HB five is subject to the the Standard of Review Review, which the florida Supreme Court called strict scrutiny. Thus, per the Gainesville for the Supreme Court opinion, any law that implicates the fundamental right of privacy regardless of the activity, is subject to strict scrutiny and therefore is presumed to be unconstitutional. In that case, the burden is on the defendant to prove that the law advances *** compelling state interest through the least restrictive means here. The asserted interest by the state, as outlined in its argument today, are not legally sufficient to justify the statutory ban. I find the testimony of the plaintiff's witnesses is more credible and rebut rebuts that of the defendants witnesses. I um generally agree with the position set forth by the plaintiff in the plaintiff's reply memorandum and in the plaintiff's oral argument today, I was prepared to go through it more detail, but I'm not sure in light of the time and length of time we've discussed these issues if that's necessary. I think the um okay, Pages 6 3 12 of the reply memo ah reflect many of these facts. I do find the state has failed to prove prove by convincing or credible evidence that this law. HB five exhibits *** compelling state interest to be protected. I accept and incorporate the findings of fact by the plaintiffs as I'll give you *** more detail in pleadings and arguments. For example, this is an example of some of the findings of facts that I think are appropriate. I'm not requiring that they all be put in what I want to identify what I think has the evidence supports. And in the reply memo, I'll just do this by paragraph number with some edits to *** couple of paragraphs. So in the reply memo, I'm looking at, let me find, mm Well I think I'm just going to go through subject area and I will give you other factual references and witness declarations. But in the reply memo, The argument on page four deals with on the binding Florida Supreme Court president. The plaintiffs have established *** substantial likelihood of success on the merits as I've indicated and I agree generally with the Rationale used on pages four and 5, page six HB five ban does not advance but rather undermines maternal health. Page six. I agree with that On pages 6, 7, 8, nine and part of 10, the states asserted interest in fetal pain is legally insufficient to satisfy strict scrutiny and and unsupported by the evidence. I'll discuss that when I give you some more detail on how I weigh the experts testimony and um I accept that the memorandum, the reply memorandum up, Two plaintiffs are entitled to facial to *** facial temporary injunction because there is no set of circumstances in which the state can constitutionally deny any pregnant person the ability to effectuate her decision to have *** pre viability abortion. I also find that the plaintiffs have standing to assert the privacy rights as discussed in the reply memo, and as further articulated today in the argument by spanish council, I find that this is *** proper facial challenge as articulated in the plaintiff's reply memo. And in today's argument, I find that the elements of temporary injunction is outlined in the reply memo, and it's discussed by plaintiff's counsel today have been met before elements so I requested the plaintiff contain the order contained that yeah, Mhm

Judge to temporarily block Florida’s 15-week abortion ban
A Florida judge on Thursday said he would temporarily block a 15-week abortion ban from taking effect, following a court challenge by reproductive health providers who say the state constitution guarantees a right to the procedure.Judge John C. Cooper made the oral ruling from the bench, and said he would soon sign the temporary injunction.The decision came days after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, ending federal protections for abortions and reigniting fierce battles in state courts and legislatures over access to the procedure.Florida’s 15-week abortion ban was passed by the GOP-controlled statehouse and signed into law by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis this spring. It was set to take effect Friday.The state will almost certainly fight the ruling.The law would prohibit abortions after 15 weeks, with exceptions if the procedure is necessary to save the pregnant woman’s life, prevent serious injury or if the fetus has a fatal abnormality. It does not allow for exemptions in cases where pregnancies were caused by rape, incest or human trafficking. Under current law, Florida allows abortions up to 24 weeks.Violators could face up to five years in prison. Physicians and other medical professionals could lose their licenses and face administrative fines of $10,000 for each violation.The legal challenge in Florida hinges on a 1980 amendment to the state constitution guaranteeing a broad right to privacy, which has been interpreted by the state Supreme Court to include abortion.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court said Thursday that gun cases involving restrictions in Hawaii, California, New Jersey and Maryland deserve a new look following its major decision in a gun case last week.
In light of last week’s ruling — which said that Americans have a right to carry a gun outside the home — lower courts should take another look at several cases that had been awaiting action by the high court, the court said. Those cases include ones about high-capacity magazines, an assault weapons ban and a state law that limits who can carry a gun outside the home.
The justices, in a 6-3 decision, last week struck down a New York law that required people to show “proper cause,” a specific need to carry a gun, if they wanted to carry a gun in public. Half a dozen states have similar laws that were called into question by the ruling.
In the New York case, the court’s conservative majority gave lower courts new guidance about how to evaluate gun restrictions. The justices rejected a two-step approach appeals courts had previously used as having one step too many. They said courts assessing modern firearms regulations should just ask whether they are “consistent with the Second Amendment’s text and historical understanding.”
Sending other gun cases back to lower courts gives them the opportunity to apply that new guidance.
One of the cases the justices sent back to a lower court Thursday involved a Hawaii statute similar to New York’s. In that case, a panel of 11 judges on the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals had ruled in 2021 that the right to “keep and bear arms” in the Constitution’s Second Amendment “does not guarantee an unfettered, general right to openly carry arms in public for individual self-defense.” But the high court said in its latest gun case that the Constitution protects “an individual’s right to carry a handgun for self-defense outside the home.” A lower court will now have to revisit the Hawaii ruling.
The high court also told federal appeals courts to revisit cases involving laws in California and New Jersey that limit the number of bullets a gun magazine can hold. A 2018 New Jersey law limits most gun owners to magazines that hold up to 10 rounds of ammunition instead of the 15-round limit in place since 1990. A lower court upheld the law.
California law also bans magazines holding more than 10 bullets. A panel of 11 judges on the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 7-4 last year to uphold California’s ban.
The justices also sent back for further review a case from Maryland that challenged the state’s 2013 ban on 45 kinds of assault weapons. The high court had in 2017 turned away a previous challenge to the law. | https://www.cbs42.com/news/politics/ap-politics/supreme-court-says-several-gun-cases-deserve-a-new-look/ | 2022-06-30T17:41:05Z | https://www.cbs42.com/news/politics/ap-politics/supreme-court-says-several-gun-cases-deserve-a-new-look/ | true |

Which bralettes are best?
If you can never manage to find a bra that’s comfortable enough to wear all day, it may be time to try a less conventional option. Bralettes are an excellent lightweight alternative to bras that make you feel like you’re not wearing anything at all, so they’re comfortable enough to sleep in.
Unlike traditional bras, bralettes don’t feature much padding and underwire. They still offer some support, though the exact amount depends on the design, what you plan to wear them for and the size of your breasts. If you’re searching for a high-quality, seamless bralette with excellent coverage, the Calvin Klein Invisibles Wirefree Triangle Bralette is the top option.
What to know before you buy a bralette
Bralette vs. bra
It’s essential to understand the differences between a bralette and a bra so you know if the former will suit your needs.
A bralette doesn’t have the same structure that a traditional bra does. Bras usually feature underwire and padding in the cups, which is why they can be uncomfortable to wear all day long. The lack of structure definitely makes a bralette more comfortable, but it also means that it doesn’t provide the same support that a conventional bra does. This can be an issue for large busts, so it’s important to look for a bralette with foam padding if you have large breasts.
Size
Bralettes don’t have cup sizes like traditional bras, so you can’t just look for your usual bra size when shopping. Depending on the brand, most bralette sizes range from XXS or XS to 3X. These sizes do roughly correspond to traditional bust measurements, though.
- If you have a 30- to 32-inch bust, an XS bralette usually works.
- If you have a 34- to 36-inch bust, opt for a small bralette.
- If you have a 38- to 40-inch bust, choose a medium bralette.
- If you have a 42- to 44-inch bust, try a large bralette.
- If you have a 46- to 48-inch bust, a 1X bralette is usually a good fit.
- If you have a 50- to 52-inch bust, a 2X bralette can work well.
- If you have a 54- to 56-inch bust, look for a 3X bralette.
Keep in mind that bralette sizes are also affected by your cup size. In most cases, if you wear a C cup or larger, you’ll want a larger bralette than someone who wears an A or B cup. For example, if you wear a 40C bra, you’ll likely want a large bralette rather than a medium.
However, because sizing isn’t standard across all bralette brands, you should always consult the size guide for a particular bralette before choosing a size.
Material
Bralettes are made of similar materials to those used for bras. You can find options made of cotton, nylon and lace, but most features blends that also contain Lycra or another stretchy fabric to provide a better fit. The best material for a bralette really depends on how you plan to use it, though, so keep that in mind when shopping.
Purpose
All bralettes are not created equal, so it’s important to consider how you plan to wear your bralette when trying to find the right option.
- Fashion bralettes are designed to peek out from under clothing or be worn on their own. As such, they usually provide more coverage, with many resembling a camisole. However, most fashion bralettes have a cropped design, so their hem hits above your navel. You can find them in a variety of materials, including knits like crochet and macrame.
- Lounge bralettes are generally meant for wearing around the house or when running quick errands. They usually don’t have much padding and only feature a layer or two of fabric. A lounge bralette can work well for small breasts that don’t require much support. They can also work well for sleep for all bust sizes.
- Athletic bralettes are meant to be worn when working out or playing sports, so they’re similar to sports bras. They often feature fabrics with moisture-wicking properties to keep you cool and dry when active and usually feature some padding to provide support as you move. Some athletic bralettes can be worn on their own, while others are best worn under a T-shirt or tank top.
- Lingerie bralettes are usually lacy and feature plunging necklines to highlight your cleavage. They’re made of delicate fabrics like lace, silk or satin and are generally meant to be worn in the bedroom.
Fit
A bralette should be more comfortable than a conventional bra, so finding the right fit is crucial.
Because most of a bralette’s support comes from its band, it’s essential to choose a style with a band that sits flat over your ribcage and doesn’t ride up. You can check that the band isn’t too tight by raising your arms over your head. The bralette is too tight if the band rides up, so you should go up a size.
When it comes to a bralette’s cups, make sure that your breasts fit completely inside them. If your breasts spill over the cups, the bralette is too small. If there are gaps around the cups, opt for a smaller size.
Make sure that a bralette’s straps don’t dig or pinch into your shoulders either. If you have a larger bust, you may prefer a bralette with thicker straps so they don’t chafe your shoulders. At the same time, the straps shouldn’t be so loose that you can pull them more than an inch above your shoulders, though, or it won’t provide enough support.
What to look for in a quality bralette
Neckline
You can find bralettes with a range of necklines to work under nearly all tops.
- Crew necklines have a rounded shape that covers a good portion of the chest. Bralettes with this neckline are usually ideal for wearing on their own.
- Scoop necklines are similar to crew necks, but they fall a little lower and have a U-shape that exposes the collarbone. Many lounge bralettes feature a scoop neckline.
- Halter necklines have straps that go around your neck, so your back is uncovered.
- Plunging necklines are extremely low to expose more cleavage. Because this neckline has a sexier look, you can find it on many lingerie bralettes.
Closure
Many bralettes don’t have any type of closure, so you simply pull them on and off over the head. However, some do feature closures similar to those on a traditional bra.
- Those with back clasps feature hooks that connect at the back with hook-and-eye closures.
- Those with front-clasp closures feature hooks that close in the front between the breasts.
- Hook-and-loop closures aren’t very common on bralettes, but they can be easier to fasten if you have pain or limited mobility in your hands.
How much you can expect to spend on a bralette
Most bralettes cost between $10 and $80. For basic cotton bralettes or those that don’t provide much support, you’ll usually pay between $10 and $25. Bralettes with enough support for larger busts or those with sexy lingerie or fashion elements generally range from $25 to $40. For sexy, elegant lingerie bralettes, though, you’ll likely spend $50 to $80.
Bralette FAQ
Can I wear a bralette in place of a bra every day?
A. If you’re comfortable in a bralette, you can definitely wear it daily instead of a traditional bra. Bralettes typically work best for small to medium busts, though, because they usually don’t offer the most support. If you have larger breasts, you may want to save your bralettes for certain occasions rather than wear them every day.
Are bralettes dryer-safe?
A. Always check the care label on your bralettes to be sure, but most are made of materials that can break down when exposed to heat. It’s best to hang your bralettes up to dry.

Which receiver is best?
One of the most important factors in any home audio setup is the receiver — often called an AV receiver, a home theater receiver or just an audio receiver. It’s no wonder buyers take their time choosing one that best fits their needs.
Overall, the Sony STR-DH790 7.2-Channel AV Receiver is a great pick for anyone looking to buy an audio receiver. It offers a wide range of features and audio format compatibility and it’s available at a reasonable price.
What to know before you buy a receiver
Your needs
Before you can determine what the best receiver is for you, you need to know what devices you plan to use with it, such as your TV, record player or computer. The receiver you choose should also fit the number of channels you want and if you’re looking for surround sound, you need at least five channels.
Setup
Most audio receivers today include a fairly intuitive setup process, with some even describing how to plug in your audio inputs and outputs listed on the back of the unit. While others may include more detailed audio setup processes, especially for use as a surround sound home theater, many only take a few hours to completely set up, and won’t require maintenance in between.
Audio sources
Another important factor to consider when buying an audio receiver is what audio sources and formats you’re hoping to use, as this will determine what type of receiver you need. For instance, if you want an audio receiver with HDMI ports for your TV, double-check that any receiver you buy has them.
In addition, if you want surround sound formats like Dolby Atmos, DTS:X or others, check that the receiver you’re considering supports the audio format and speakers in your home entertainment center.
What to look for in a quality receiver
Inputs
In general, most buyers today look for audio receivers with HDMI inputs, alongside other common stereo inputs. You may want optical cable ports, USB ports and a wide range of other inputs that match the hardware you plan to use with the receiver.
Surround sound outputs
Whether you’re starting new with a receiver, replacing one or looking to complete a full home entertainment center with audio, finding a receiver with surround sound outputs is a great feature to look for as you shop. Even if you don’t currently have surround sound, doing so will allow you to upgrade to 5.1- and 7.1-channel surround sound speaker units down the road, giving you more freedom than if you buy one that doesn’t support these formats.
Remote control
A quite coveted item that many AV receivers include is a remote control. While most receivers include an interface on the front with knobs, switches and buttons to control the unit’s settings, many don’t want to get up every time they need to adjust the volume while watching TV. So ensure the unit you buy comes with a remote control.
How much you can expect to spend on a receiver
The price of audio receivers varies widely and can depend on many factors. However, you can expect to spend between $100-$1,000 for a home receiver on its own.
Receiver FAQ
Do receivers affect audio quality?
A. Unless a receiver has faulty wiring or other issues, it shouldn’t affect audio quality, except in providing better audio clarity and control than most audio devices on their own, like TVs and computers.
Are receivers and amplifiers the same thing?
A. While amplifier and receiver are often used interchangeably, an amplifier simply describes any device that amplifies an audio signal, and largely refers to a much broader range of products than receivers. In general, audio receivers are amplifiers that take audio from a given source, like a TV, and project it to an outgoing set of speakers.

LEWISTON, Maine — Editor's note: The video above aired Nov. 25, 2019.
A former Lewiston woman hit in a crosswalk by a car driven by former Lewiston Mayor Mark Cayer in 2019 has filed a civil lawsuit seeking damages.
Julianne Dawson, now of Massachusetts, filed a civil complaint in Androscoggin County Superior Court late last month alleging Cayer was "careless and negligent in failing to yield the right of way" to Dawson when he struck her on Oct. 24, 2019, as she crossed Pine Street in a crosswalk, the Lewiston Sun Journal reported.
In a response, Cayer's attorney said he was looking at a bicyclist and scooter to his right at the time of the collision. He admitted he hit Dawson with his van but denied other allegations, the Sun Journal reported.
Lewiston Police Department released a video of the crash. Cayer was issued a traffic citation and paid a $180 fine, police said.
Dawson said at the time that the crash left her arm badly bruised and she had a bruised leg and road rash.
Dawson said in her complaint that she suffered “severe, disabling and permanent injuries (and) has incurred and will in the future incur expenses for medical treatment (and) has lost wages," the Sun Journal reported. | https://www.newscentermaine.com/article/news/local/lewiston-auburn/former-lewiston-mayor-sued-over-2019-crash-involving-pedestrian-mark-cayer/97-65fde4b1-f294-431e-9182-9a5d7474c73e | 2022-06-30T17:43:12Z | https://www.newscentermaine.com/article/news/local/lewiston-auburn/former-lewiston-mayor-sued-over-2019-crash-involving-pedestrian-mark-cayer/97-65fde4b1-f294-431e-9182-9a5d7474c73e | false |

Over the objection of three justices, the Supreme Court on Thursday left in place New York’s coronavirus vaccine requirement for health-care workers that does not include a religious exemption.
In the New York vaccination case, the court had rejected in December an emergency request from doctors, nurses and other medical workers who said they were being forced to choose between their livelihoods and their faith. They said they should receive a religious exemption because the state’s rule allows one for those who decline the vaccine for medical reasons.
While the majority at the time did not give a reason for rejecting the emergency applications, three justices said they were eager to decide the merits of such a case. The court also had denied a similar request from health-care workers in Maine.
The same three justices — Clarence Thomas, Neil M. Gorsuch and Samuel A. Alito Jr. — objected Thursday to the court’s refusal to review the New York requirement that includes a medical exemption but no exception for religious objectors.
Thomas noted in a dissent that federal and state governments have implemented emergency measures in response to the coronavirus pandemic, and many, he wrote, “were not neutral toward religious exercise.”
“There remains considerable confusion over whether a mandate, like New York’s, that does not exempt religious conduct can ever be neutral and generally applicable if it exempts secular conduct that similarly frustrates the specific interest that the mandate serves,” he wrote.
Thomas said his colleagues should provide guidance to lower courts “before the next crisis forces us again to decide complex legal issues in an emergency posture.”
In the December order that refused to stop New York’s regulations, Gorsuch criticized New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) for rescinding a previous religious exemption.
“The State’s executive decree clearly interferes with the free exercise of religion — and does so seemingly based on nothing more than fear and anger at those who harbor unpopular religious beliefs,” Gorsuch wrote. “We allow the State to insist on the dismissal of thousands of medical workers — the very same individuals New York has depended on and praised for their service on the pandemic’s front lines over the last 21 months … One can only hope today’s ruling will not be the final chapter in this grim story.”
Last August, New York announced the vaccine requirement for health-care workers, with exceptions for religious and medical reasons. But eight days later, after the Food and Drug Administration gave full approval to the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, the state’s Department of Health narrowed the medical exception and eliminated the one for religious objectors.
“Like longstanding similar state vaccination requirements for measles and rubella, DOH’s rule at issue here contains a single, limited medical exemption,” New York Attorney General Letitia James said in a brief to the Supreme Court.
“That medical exemption is limited in scope and duration, exempting solely those employees for whom the COVID-19 vaccine would be detrimental to their health based on a preexisting health condition, and lasting only until immunization is no longer detrimental to that worker’s health.”
Court documents indicated about 96 percent of the state’s health-care workers have been vaccinated. Of those remaining, far more were asserting religious objections rather than seeking medical exemptions.
“These applicants are not ‘anti-vaxxers’ who object to all vaccines,” Gorsuch wrote. “Instead, the applicants explain, they cannot receive a Covid-19 vaccine because their religion teaches them to oppose abortion in any form, and because each of the currently available vaccines has depended upon abortion-derived fetal cell lines in its production or testing.”
The state countered that the coronavirus vaccines do not contain aborted fetal cells.

U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont broke his hip after falling at his home.
Leahy's office says in a statement Thursday that the 82-year-old Democrat fell Wednesday night in McLean, Virginia.
Doctors determined the best course of action would be to have surgery to repair the hip as soon as possible.
The statement says that Leahy was born blind in one eye and he has always struggled with depth perception, but “this one finally caught up with him.”
Leahy is “expected to make a full recovery and begin a healthy course of physical therapy immediately.”
Leahy is the longest-serving sitting senator.
He announced in November that he will not seek reelection this fall. | https://www.ksby.com/news/national/vermont-us-sen-patrick-leahy-breaks-hip-to-have-surgery | 2022-06-30T17:48:27Z | https://www.ksby.com/news/national/vermont-us-sen-patrick-leahy-breaks-hip-to-have-surgery | false |

A large Missouri hospital chain briefly stopped providing emergency contraception amid confusion over whether the state’s abortion ban could put doctors at risk of criminal charges for providing the medication, even for sexual assault victims.
St. Luke’s Health Kansas City said in a statement Wednesday that it would resume offering the medication known as the morning after pill, a day after it told The Kansas City Star that its Missouri hospitals would halt emergency contraception.
It did so after the state’s attorney general issued a statement stating unequivicolly that emergency contraception is not illegal under an abortion ban that was enacted minutes after Friday’s U.S. Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade. The Missouri law bans all abortions except in cases of medical emergency.
“Saint Luke’s Health System is aware of and continues to closely monitor legal developments regarding Missouri’s abortion trigger law, including recent comments from the Missouri Attorney General’s Office and the Governor of Missouri regarding the use of emergency contraceptives,” St. Luke’s said Wednesday. “Following further internal review, Saint Luke’s will now resume providing emergency contraceptives, under new protocols, at all Missouri-based Saint Luke’s hospitals and clinics.”
The statement said the “ambiguity of the law, and the uncertainty even among state officials about what this law prohibits, continues to cause grave concern and will require careful monitoring.”
Since the Supreme Court ruling, abortion rights supporters have warned about the ambiguity of some state abortion bans and that contraception could be targeted.
Lawmakers in some states with majority-conservative legislatures have suggested that. Already in Idaho, emergency contraception was prohibited at school-based health clinics last year under a law banning public funding for “abortion related services.”
Adding to the worries were comments from Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, who in a separate concurring opinion urged colleagues to overturn other high court rulings protecting same-sex marriage, gay sex and the use of contraceptives.
Emergency contraception can be taken after sex and generally works by delaying or preventing ovulation. The federally approved label also says it may prevent a fertilized egg from attaching to the womb. It’s been attacked by some abortion foes who believe life begins when an egg is fertilized.
The Missouri law doesn’t mention birth control, including emergency contraceptives, which is sold under the brand name Plan B.
Republican state Rep. Nick Schroer, who sponsored the bill, said the intent was never to restrict access to any contraception.
“It’s not going to limit access to Plan B, and if we wanted to then that would need to be a discussion this next legislative session,” Schroer said.
It’s standard practice for health care providers to offer emergency contraception to sexual assault victims. Gretchen Borchelt, vice president of reproductive rights and health at the National Women’s Law Center in Washington, D.C., said it’s a “critically important part of a comprehensive medical response to sexual assault.”
In its Tuesday statement to the Star, St. Luke’s spokeswoman Laurel Gifford said the hospital system “simply cannot put our clinicians in a position that might result in criminal prosecution.”
Doctors convicted under the law could serve up to 15 years in prison and lose their medical licenses.
St. Luke’s has 16 hospitals, some of which are in Kansas and were not impacted.
Since the Supreme Court’s ruling, demand for emergency contraceptives rose so much that some retailers, including Amazon and Rite Aid, capped how many consumers can buy.
“Retailers are being cautious. They are trying to manage it,” said Neil Saunders, managing director at GlobalData Retail. “But I don’t think there are chronic shortages.”
Planned Parenthood health centers are experiencing an increased demand for information and family planning services, including contraception.
“They’re worried birth control will be next,’’ said Kelly Hart, a spokeswoman for Planned Parenthood’s Dallas-based affiliate.
So far, she said, the group has been able to meet the demand.
“From our perspective, birth control is more important than it has ever been and we’re doing everything we can to make that available,’’ Hart said.
At Wellspring online pharmacy, U.S. sales totaled about 1,000 packages a day at the weekend peak, compared with 100 to 200 daily before the ruling, Koen Mullokandov, the company’s chief operating officer, said. The fervor has subsided to about six times higher than usual, but many purchasers are still buying four to six packages at a time, clearly “stocking up,’’ Mullokandov said.
“Supply is challenging because nobody was expecting this,’’ he said, adding that so far, “we have enough inventory to support the demand.’’

Which ceramic planter is best?
If you want to bring gardening to a small space, consider a planter as an ideal container. While planters also come in terracotta, plastic and cement, a ceramic planter combines durability, value and style. If you’re looking for a ceramic planter with plenty of colors and features to keep your plants healthy as they grow, the D’vine Dev 8-Inch Ceramic Planter Pot is the best.
What to know before you buy a ceramic planter
Size
Ceramic planters are measured by their diameter. It should be wide enough to accommodate a mature plant’s root structure. Tabletop ceramic planters are between 6 and 10 inches in diameter. Large and tall ceramic planters can have interior structures that eliminate the need for as much soil.
Consider also the extra space needed to accommodate a wider saucer under the planter. Some come with one, while with others you must add a layer between planter and table.
Shape
Most planters are round or square. They can have tapered or straight bases, although they should still be wide enough to remain steady. Novelty shapes often have extra exterior features for decoration and still use a basic round or square shape to house the plant and soil.
Design
Ceramic planters can be monochrome or have colorful or textured designs outside. The planter’s interior is often left untreated or with a simple glaze finish, letting the plant get additional air circulation and making the pot easier to create. The planter’s bottom almost always remains unfinished, creating a rough texture that keeps it from slipping.

Ceramic is a breathable material and allows airflow to the plant. It can be prone to cracks and become brittle over time, though, especially if you experience extreme temperatures. Look for a ceramic planter thick enough to maintain its shape without cracking or breaking.
Drainage
Ceramic can absorb some water, but it’s still important that extra water does not accumulate in the planter’s base. Make sure your planter includes holes at the bottom to drain excess water. A built-in saucer or pan prevents damage to the plant stand or surface underneath. These may be attached to the base or come as a separate piece.
To prevent the roots from becoming waterlogged, look for a planter with a mesh layer at the bottom or a place to add pebbles.
Weatherproof finishes
If you plan to use your ceramic planter outside, know that finishes such as glazes and paints do best when treated to prevent chips and wear. Look for something that can hold up to ultraviolet rays without fading. And because ceramic absorbs water, the best ceramic planters to use outdoors have a waterproof coating, which you can add either to your pot’s inside or outside to help it last longer.
How much you can expect to spend on a ceramic planter
Ceramic planters cost $15-$50, and you can find sets of three for $40-$100. Prices vary by size and extra features such as patterns and decorative finishes.
Ceramic planter FAQ
Are ceramic or plastic planters better?
A. Ceramic is ideal for plants that don’t need as much water or for plant owners who tend to overwater. They can be heavier and harder to move, though, when filled with soil. Plastic pots are better for plants that can tolerate more water or that will be moved frequently. They do not let as much air circulate to the roots.
Can ceramic planters stay outside?
A. Some ceramic planters with weatherproof finishes or treated exteriors can stay outside. But ceramic pots should be brought indoors during extreme temperatures to prevent cracks. The risk to ceramic comes from its ability to expand and contract as the temperature changes.

The U.S. Supreme Court announced Thursday that it has agreed to hear a case next term that could upend election laws across the country with the potential endorsement of a fringe legal theory about how much power state legislatures have over the running of congressional and presidential elections.
The case, called Moore v. Harper, is centered on newly drawn maps of voting districts for North Carolina's 14 seats in the next U.S. House of Representatives.
Republican state lawmakers want to resurrect a map that North Carolina's state courts struck down, finding that the map approved by the GOP-controlled legislature violated multiple provisions in the state's constitution by giving Republican candidates an unfair advantage through partisan gerrymandering. A court-drawn map has been put in place instead for this year's midterm elections.
In their appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, however, the Republican lawmakers argue that the U.S. Constitution's Elections Clause gives state legislatures the power to determine how congressional elections are conducted without any checks and balances from state constitutions or state courts.
Based on this independent state legislature theory, they contend that the North Carolina state courts' decision to throw out and replace the legislature-drawn map violates the federal constitution — an argument that radically departs from the U.S. Supreme Court's historical record of deferring to state courts on how state constitutions and laws should be interpreted.
A Supreme Court endorsement of the theory could upend elections laws across the U.S.
The high court declined in March to weigh in on an emergency request for this case, but in a dissenting opinion, three of the court's conservatives – Justices Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch and Clarence Thomas – signaled they would likely side with the Republican lawmakers' embrace of this theory.
Many legal scholars, however, have been waving warning signs that the high court's endorsement of the theory could have severe consequences across the country for congressional and presidential elections.
"It would be extremely disruptive," says Carolyn Shapiro, a law professor and founder and co-director of Chicago-Kent College of Law's Institute on the Supreme Court of the United States. "It would allow the possibility that people who don't like state supreme court rulings that have been on the books potentially for years could step back in and say, 'Well, actually, that ruling only applies to state elections.' "
Under this theory, Shapiro adds, holding elections for different levels of government at the same time could become practically difficult given that officials would potentially have to prepare for different sets of ballots, voter registration systems and, in some states, voter ID laws.
The court's support for the theory could also affect the 2024 presidential election
Vikram Amar, dean of the University of Illinois College of Law, notes that a "hyper-charged" version of the theory pointing to the Electors Clause of the U.S. Constitution served as the backdrop for the "fake electors" scheme that is a focus of the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Depending on how broadly the Supreme Court rules in the North Carolina redistricting case, Amar says support for the theory by the court could affect the 2024 presidential election. States with Republican-controlled legislatures could see it as an invitation to set new election rules that take power away from voters when picking electors for the Electoral College or to make state lawmakers, not courts, the judges in disputes after the election.
"It is really a grave danger to American democracy to say that state legislatures are free from state constitutions to do whatever they want," says Amar, who co-wrote an article for the Supreme Court Review at the University of Chicago about how the theory goes against an originalist understanding of the U.S. Constitution. "State constitutions are an important source of American democracy, limits and rights. And I think it would be terrible if the U.S. Supreme Court distorted federalism to reject that very important premise."
To Shapiro, the Chicago-Kent College of Law professor, the theory "doesn't make any sense at all."
"The legislatures are created by constitutions. Their powers are defined by constitutions. The way those powers interact with other branches of state government is defined by state constitutions. Limitations on those powers are defined by state constitutions," says Shapiro, who wrote an upcoming article on the theory's origins and implications for The University of Chicago Law Review. "The idea that there's some kind of legislative power that is separate and apart from the ordinary constitutional limitations is really quite remarkable and lawless."

SAO PAULO (AP) — Former Formula One champion Nelson Piquet apologized to Lewis Hamilton on Wednesday, saying the racial term he used about the Mercedes driver was “ill thought out” but was not meant to be offensive.
The 69-year-old Brazilian has faced heavy criticism this week over comments he made in Portuguese last November on a podcast where he referred to Hamilton as “neguinho,” which means “little Black guy.”
“What I said was ill thought out, and I make no defense for it, but I will clarify that the term used is one that has widely and historically been used colloquially in Brazilian Portuguese as a synonym for ‘guy’ or ‘person’ and was never intended to offend,” Piquet, who won three F1 titles in the 1980s, said in the statement. “I would never use the word I have been accused of in some translations. I strongly condemn any suggestion that the word was used by me with the aim of belittling a driver because of his skin color.”
Piquet used the term three times during the interview as he discussed a crash between Hamilton — a seven-time F1 champion and the only Black driver in the sport — and Max Verstappen during last year’s British Grand Prix. His daughter Kelly Piquet is Verstappen’s girlfriend.
“I apologize wholeheartedly to anyone that was affected, including Lewis, who is an incredible driver,” Piquet added. “But the translation in some media that is now circulating on social media is not correct. Discrimination has no place in F1 or society and I am happy to clarify my thoughts in that respect.”
After Piquet’s comments resurfaced this week, Hamilton called for “archaic mindsets” to change, while F1 and governing body FIA both condemned the use of racist language.
“It’s more than language. These archaic mindsets need to change and have no place in our sport. I’ve been surrounded by these attitudes and targeted my whole life,” Hamilton tweeted on Tuesday. “There has been plenty of time to learn. Time has come for action.”
The British GP is this weekend.

The best gaming laptops can transform how you play your favorite games. With the right machine, you can enjoy desktop-level hardware, high frame rates, top detail settings and even ray tracing in compatible games—all on-the-go, if you so choose.
Today’s best gaming laptops are faster than ever, and gone are the overweight designs of yesteryear.

You don’t need to spend a ton on a new portable, with some gaming laptops under $500 that can handle less demanding gameplay. There are definitely compromises in that price range, so you can also pay more for a premium gaming laptop with high-end components. Either way, these laptops can be perfect for LAN parties or switching f4romwork to play at any time.

Who Makes The Best Gaming Laptops?
Modern gaming laptops are more mainstream, with many of the players in all-purpose laptops having a contender among gaming systems, too. You’ll also find a number of brands that specialize in systems fine-tuned for gaming.
The best brands for gaming laptops today include Razer, Asus, Acer, Dell Alienware, MSI and Lenovo. Most of these manufacturers have gaming laptop lines, but some also have options not branded as for “gaming” that can capably play games as well. Some companies focus on designs that are both lightweight and powerful, while others go all-in with more powerful systems that can rival some gaming desktops.
Do I Really Need A Gaming Laptop?
If you just want to do a little light gaming in the off hours, you don't need a gaming laptop. In fact, you don't need a gaming laptop to play games at all, but if you want to play newer games, higher-end games (often referred to as AAA games) with detailed graphics—or play anything at higher resolutions—then gaming laptops offer the best combination of powerful graphics hardware and capable cooling.
You might find similar hardware in workstations, but those systems tend to be more expensive and lack the most current specs. Creative-focused laptops with 4K screens are more than you need for gaming, and the most lightweight and portable everyday laptops just don't have the component performance for the latest games.
The best gaming laptops are designed for a specific purpose and have a discrete graphics GPU to make graphically intense games shine. Some of the most recent and best designs can dynamically shift power between the CPU and a dedicated GPU to maximize your performance in-game. You aren't going to find those sorts of features on non-gaming laptop designs.
What CPU Do You Need For Gaming?
Intel and AMD are the main processor brands used for any computer, and the only two you want for a gaming computer. Their chips have gone through huge revolutions in design and performance potential in recent years. Chips continue to gain in efficiency and battery life is better than ever.
As a general rule of thumb for buying a gaming laptop, look for an AMD Ryzen 3000, 4000, 5000 or 6000 CPU will be excellent. Among Intel processors, look for at least an 11th or 12th generation processor; a 10th generation processor may be a choice if you find one at a good deal. Intel has multiple processor tiers, with system prices and performance increasing as you move up the line from Core i5 to Core i7 and Core i9.
Note that higher-end Core i9 or Ryzen 9 processors will give you a slight performance bump at lower resolutions, and you might as well get the best of the best if you can afford it. Or, look for a mid-range CPU with the best graphics card configuration you can find.
The types of games you play has a big impact on the type of processor you need. If you’re a casual gamer or playing simpler indie games, then you likely won't need anything too powerful.
What’s The Best Graphics Card For Laptop Gaming?
The graphics card or chip is the most important component in a gaming laptop, helping to drive higher resolutions, higher frame rates and higher detail settings than any mainstream laptop can manage.
At the most entry-level end of the spectrum, for lightweight esports and indie games, integrated graphics may suffice, but better to find an Nvidia GTX 1650 or AMD Radeon RX 6400—either is a great option. These GPUs are perfect for simple 1080p gameplay at high frame rates and low detail settings. If you want to play more demanding games, you'll need to step it up to Nvidia's RTX 3000 range, with an RTX 3060 or 3070, or an AMD Radeon RX 6700M. For 4K gaming you'll want the best you can afford, like Nvidia's 3080 Ti or AMD's 6800M.
For more stealth gaming laptops, AMD's new range of RX 6600X, 6700S and 6800S offer great gaming performance without such heavy power draws. Nvidia's Max-Q and Max-P designs do something similar.
Is $1,000 Good For A Gaming Laptop?
The best general purpose laptops usually start around $1,000 and that's not too dissimilar for gaming laptops. With that kind of laptop, you'll typically get a solid 1080p gaming machine which won't be the best for the latest and greatest games, but will give you great frame rates in esports games.
If you want to play at higher resolutions, you'll have a much better chance at around the $1,300 mark; though again, the higher you go, the better performance you'll get. The best gaming laptops can cost $2,000 or more, with many of the most elite models costing north of $3,000. So your budget is your only limitation once you get into the high-end models.
Do You Need A High Refresh Rate Display?
High refresh rate displays are a great way to improve your gaming experience, especially if you're playing esports or older games at higher frame rates. With a high refresh rate display and a high frames per second, you can enjoy smoother animations and a more responsive gaming experience, with limited input lag. That means that as well as making your games look and play better, it can actually make you play better too, giving you a light performance advantage in competitive gaming.
Higher refresh rates are often a more beneficial upgrade than a higher resolution, especially on the smaller displays on most gaming laptops. While you won't see a huge difference between 1080p and 4K on a 15-inch screen, you will be able to tell the difference between 60Hz and 144Hz. The difference between that and 240Hz or 360Hz isn't as pronounced, but you should still be able to feel it, even if it isn't super obvious.
Is A 13-inch, 15-inch Or 17-inch Gaming Laptop Better?
Bigger displays are almost always better when it comes to immersion and visual clarity. If you can see more of the screen, you can have a wider field of view, larger HUD elements and take better advantage of the higher visual fidelity of modern games. The bigger you go, though, the less portable a gaming laptop is.
The big reason to buy a gaming laptop is that your gaming machine becomes portable. While 17-inch gaming laptops with the top hardware aren't going to be comfortable to carry around in a backpack all day, they still let you take your gaming PC to a friend's house or LAN party easily enough.
For those who want to game in a variety of situations, a 14- or 15-inch laptop is an excellent middle ground. These laptops have the size and scope for more powerful hardware and give you plenty of screen space to enjoy your favorite games, but they’re nowhere near as heavy or bulky as their 17-inch counterparts.
Is A Gaming Laptop Worth The Money?
If you use your laptop primarily for gaming, absolutely. Playing on any gaming laptop is an upgrade from a non-gaming laptop. And if you can buy one of the best gaming laptops available, it can make a huge difference. That kind of investment might feel expensive, but today's gaming laptops will still be playing the latest games a few years from now. Any laptop not running today's best games is going to feel very outdated in the not-too-distant future.
On top of better performance, gaming laptops more responsive displays, and often more storage space and more comfortable keyboards than your average laptops. They typically don’t have the best battery life and aren't as portable as the most lightweight everyday laptops, but the best gaming laptops are fantastic machines no matter what you want to do with them. | https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbes-personal-shopper/2022/06/30/best-gaming-laptops/ | 2022-06-30T17:55:55Z | https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbes-personal-shopper/2022/06/30/best-gaming-laptops/ | true |

NEW YORK (AP) — The U.S. Justice Department is investigating the New York Police Department’s treatment of sex crime victims after concluding there is “significant justification” to do so and after receiving reports of deficiencies for more than a decade, prosecutors said Thursday.
Kristen Clarke, assistant attorney general for the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, and two U.S. attorneys in New York announced the probe in a release, saying they will thoroughly review the department’s Special Victims Division to gauge whether it engages in a pattern of gender-biased policing.
“Survivors of sexual assault should expect effective, trauma-informed and victim-centered investigations by police departments,” Clarke said. “Based on information provided to the Justice Department, we find significant justification to investigate whether the NYPD’s Special Victims Division engages in a pattern or practice of gender-biased policing.”
The investigation comes after years of reports of deficient practices by the NYPD in its sex crimes probe and a 2019 lawsuit in which two women claimed that the NYPD’s Special Victims Division had mistreated them.
One woman alleged detectives shrugged off her report of being raped by someone she’d been involved with, logging it as a “dispute” instead of a sex crime.
Another woman said her account of being kidnapped and gang-raped was grossly mishandled by a sex-crimes detective for months before she was told the case was “too complex” to investigate.
After the lawsuit and a leadership shakeup, the NYPD pledged to change its ways. But victims say the promised reforms haven’t arrived.
Justice Department officials said they will be reaching out to community groups and the public to learn about their interactions with the division.
They said the probe will include a comprehensive review of the police department’s policies, procedures and training for investigations of sexual assault crimes by the unit, including how it interacts with survivors and witnesses and how it collects evidence and completes investigations.
They said they also want to see what steps the police department has taken to address deficiencies in its handling of sexual assault crimes, including its staffing and the services and support it offers sexual assault survivors.
U.S. Attorney Breon Peace said the NYPD has already taken steps to address concerns, but authorities want to ensure sex assault victims are treated fair in the future.
U.S. Attorney Damian Williams in Manhattan said sex crimes victims “deserve the same rigorous and unbiased investigations of their cases that the NYPD affords to other categories of crime.”
“Likewise,” he added, “relentless and effective pursuit of perpetrators of sexual violence, unburdened by gender stereotypes or differential treatment, is essential to public safety.”
A message seeking comment was left with the NYPD.
After the 2019 lawsuit, the NYPD appointed a woman, Judith Harrison, to lead the embattled division and shifted to what she called a “victim-centered” approach — but she moved to a different position within two years.
In 2020, the department appointed Michael King, a veteran investigator and forensic nurse, to the post. King, whose experience included conducting the very physical exams and evidence collection vital to solving sex crimes cases, spent part of his first few days on the job going to the hospital to assist doctors with rape kits.
But King was removed from the job in February, amid complaints about his leadership and the division’s continued mishandling of cases.
Last October, a woman who identified herself as Christine told a City Council hearing that detectives made fundamental mistakes in investigating her rape.
She said they failed to interview witnesses or collect security camera footage from the bar where she’d been before the attack.
Instead, she said, they wanted to set up a “traumatizing controlled phone call with the man who raped me,” failed to test for date-rape drugs and closed the case twice without telling her. | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation/feds-opens-sweeping-probe-into-work-of-nypd-sex-crimes-unit/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all | 2022-06-30T18:09:56Z | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation/feds-opens-sweeping-probe-into-work-of-nypd-sex-crimes-unit/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all | true |

Facelift: Southern Trace golf course reopens Saturday after $4.2 million update
Closed for the past seven months, the Southern Trace Country Club golf course will re-open Saturday after completion of a $4.2 million facelift.
Part of a long-term plan by club members, who purchased the club from ClubCorp in 2020, this is the first renovation project for the 34-year-old course.
“Our investment in golf course refinements and technology will ensure the highest level of playability for our membership for decades to come,” said Alexander Mijalis, Southern Trace Country Club vice-president and chairman of the club’s greens committee in a release. “We are excited to see Southern Trace return to the premier status it once enjoyed.”

Renovations include the redesign of the entire 18-hole course by Southern Trace member and design architect Jim Lipe working with the Jack Nicklaus organization. There are new greens and a new drainage system to help keep water away so it can be utilized throughout the year.
The club’s practice facility has also been renovated with a larger teeing area at the driving range and expanded putting greens.
Long term plans include updating the 37,000 square foot Southern Trace clubhouse with work slated to include the locker rooms, tennis courts, dining area, pro shop, gym and event space.

LAS VEGAS — A 4-week-old kitten pulled from a dumpster fire last month in Nevada has been adopted by a veterinarian technician who has helped her heal.
The Las Vegas Animal Foundation rescued the kitten after she was pulled from a dumpster fire around May 3.
The foundation named the kitten Savannah, and she has been treated for her burns and provided other care under the stewardship of Pet Health.
One of the veterinary assistants at the facility fell in love with the little fighter who wouldn't quit.
"I just saw this thing," Alex Reyes said. "Actually, I didn't know what it was at first."
Reyes said Savannah's burns were extensive, and Clark County officials kept a close eye on her recovery, periodically sending updates through Twitter.
Great work by our #ClarkCounty Animal Protection Services and @animalfndlv teaming up to help a 4 week old kitten pulled from a dumpster fire. She’s been named Savannah. After burn treatment, time in an incubator and food, she’s gone to a foster home for rest and recovery. #Vegas pic.twitter.com/Q9tE5DyqbB
— Clark County Nevada (@ClarkCountyNV) May 3, 2022
Reyes said he and other caregivers at Pet Health cared for Savannah around the clock as she could barely do anything, including eating and breathing, without their assistance.
"Yeah, we had to make her poop," he said. "Everything."
#GoodNews this Sunday. Update on Savannah, a Las #Vegas kitten rescued from a dumpster fire. We told you her story a few weeks ago. The @animalfndlv says she's healing great, is playful and loves attention. She has some scars from her burns but should have a happy, normal life! https://t.co/a3tiEra99W pic.twitter.com/SyLqlTzf1o
— Clark County Nevada (@ClarkCountyNV) May 29, 2022
Now, after weeks of helping Savannah fight for survival, the kitten has been deemed healthy enough for adoption, and Reyes said he knew the strong girl would be coming home with him, scarred ears, nose, and all.
"It just makes her, you know? You'll never find another cat with half ears or a fake nose as we call it," he said. "I think it makes her look cute and different."
With the Animal Foundation's and his colleagues' help, Reyes said Savannah's story of triumph over the odds sends the message that it's always worth fighting for animals in need.
"No matter what injury, they can always come back," he said. "Every animal deserves a second chance, and she definitely got hers, and we're going to make the best of it."
The Animal Foundation is gearing up for a rush of "found animals" as Las Vegas approaches the Fourth of July weekend.

In Elk’s Riverside Park, lots of kids running around and climbing on the playground equipment is not an unusual sight. It’s the perfect spot for family reunions.
On Saturday, June 25, a whole different kind of family got together there to celebrate a milestone.
This year, the Benefis Health System Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) turned 50, and Saturday’s party was a testament to the number of people whose families are a little bigger thanks to the doctors and nurses who work there.
Forty years and one day
For 40 of the 50 years, the NICU has been open, Marlene Lund was on its staff. She retired eight years ago but still remembers many of the babies she cared for.
Lund was originally hired for pediatrics and was asked if she wanted to work nights in the Intensive Care Nursery, as it was called then. She said she didn’t know at first what she was getting into, but it became a labor of love.
Lund was also one of the first NICU flight nurses. The team picks up mothers and babies to take them to the hospital in emergencies.
Lund calls the NICU a family, and NICU mom Paige Stewart agrees.
Stewart’s son Mason was in the NICU because she had a placental abruption and her blood mixed with her baby’s. Mason also had his umbilical cord wrapped tightly around his neck. Stewart said the experience was terrifying, but the nurses were a huge help.
“It was almost like my baby had other moms looking after him there,” she said. “They mothered him when I wasn’t able to be there because I had another child.”
“They do it with love and passion, and not just because it’s their job,” said preemie mom Robyn Brantner. “They do it because they love it.”
Lund agreed, saying most people don’t sign up to be a nurse because they don’t know what else to do. They do it because they care. She said many wanted to be nurses from the time they were little.
“It’s who we are, it’s not what we do. It’s a calling,” she said.
Over the years, Lund has been able to see the advancement in the field of neonatology.
When she started, the flight crew used to bring babies in “on a prayer and a promise,” doing the best they could with the resources they had. At that time, a baby at three pounds and 30 weeks had next to no chance of survival.
By 2010, babies at 25 weeks had about a 10-25% chance of surviving intact. Now, that number is up to 25-30%.
“By the time babies are at 30 weeks, those same babies that were so sick 40 years ago, those babies have survival rates that are very nearly what a term baby would have…That’s how far we’ve come,” Lund said.
One woman’s story
On the week of Thanksgiving in 2020, Brantner was at 21 weeks when her water broke. The doctors said she was fine and sent her home, but she started having contractions.
When she started bleeding, the docs said she was overdoing it as a single mom working two jobs. But the bleeding and contractions got worse. A friend who was a nurse told her to get herself to the hospital. When they checked her in, doctors said she wasn’t leaving until she delivered.
On December 16, at 24 weeks, baby Oaqlynn tried to come out back-first, and doctors told Brantner she had two minutes to text her family. All she could send out was “911.”
When doctors opened her up for a C-section, Oaqlynn did the splits. She had one leg in the birth canal and the other coming out of the incision. She ended up being a rare “natural birth by C-section,” Brantner said.
When Oaqlynn was born, she weighed one pound, 11 ounces. By the next day, her weight had gone under one pound. She was fairly healthy for the first month, not even needing a ventilator.
Then both her lungs collapsed, and her bowel began to die.
“I remember waking up to the sirens of all the machines going off and a swarm of nurses and doctors,” Brantner said. “I woke up in a panic, and (the nurse) pretty much told me that I needed to go home and prepare my family because the chances of her coming out of it weren’t very good.”
Brantner said she kicked and screamed and prayed to God. She was curled up in a ball the following day when the doctor called.
“I could barely talk...I could barely breathe,” she said. “He kept telling me I needed to calm down. He didn’t know what I said or what I did, but she was off the breathing machines…she did a complete 180 in a matter of four hours.”
Oaqlynn spent 119 days in the NICU.
Brantner said Oaqlynn immediately developed a hankering for attention, pulling out tubes and wires or holding her breath to setting off breathing machines and bring the nurses running.
“She definitely left her mark,” Brantner said, laughing.
Oaqlynn went home on April 14, 2021, at a little over five pounds. At 18 months, she still weighs just 15 pounds.
Brantner said if she’d been anywhere else, Oaqlynn wouldn’t have survived.
“If it wasn’t for the NICU, I wouldn’t have my daughter. They’re angels,” she said. “They are the reason she walks and talks and is breathing. They are the reason all these kids are here.”
Parents helping parents
Alexa O’Dell is one of the founders of the Family Advisory Council (FAC), an organization that provides an extra layer of support and education to NICU families. Every member has had a NICU baby.
O’Dell said FAC members recall their time in the NICU and try to think of ways to make that time better for others. She said parents are in an unfamiliar environment, don’t know the language and are scared for their babies. Just connecting with another person who has been through the same experience is a big deal.
“It’s just the people who have a strong desire to give back and keep a connection with that NICU family because they do mean so much to you,” O’Dell said.
Sarah Eberl has been part of FAC since 2019. She said when she had two of her children in the NICU, she felt she had no one to relate to. Giving back through FAC also gives her a chance to process the post-traumatic stress disorder from her own deliveries.
“You feel very disconnected from everyone — your friends, your family. If they haven’t been through it, they don’t understand and they don’t know what to say. And it’s not their fault. They just don’t know. But you need someone to connect to who understands.”
FAC makes NICU time special by handing out cards with the baby’s footprints and gifts such as teddy bears. When babies leave the NICU, they get a graduation diploma and a NICU grad onesie.
Anyone who’d like to help FAC can call the Benefis NICU to be connected with the group.
It’s about remembering
As she talked about her time as a NICU nurse, Lund recalled going to a funeral for one baby she had cared for. She said when the baby’s father passed her in her pew, he said, “You’re family, come with me.”
She still tears up telling the story many years later. The baby’s name was Cole — the same name as her grandson, who was also a NICU baby.
Lund said being able to see all the healthy, happy children is what made the reunion meaningful.
“Even the babies that we remember that aren’t here, we learned something from them, and hopefully we helped those parents through a tough time,” she said. “And hopefully it comforts them to know that we didn’t forget…that’s what it’s all about is remembering.”

Education leader race features qualification questions in SC
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - A conservative think tank CEO who promises to fight against critical race theory and supports giving children public money for scholarships to private schools would appear to be a heavy favorite in November to be elected the new leader of schools in conservative South Carolina.
But Ellen Weaver has what could be one serious problem: she lacks a master's degree, a new requirement to become Education Superintendent.
Weaver started on the advanced degree in April and has said she will complete it before voters finish casting their ballots in November. But it is unclear what might happen if she fails to do so, whether the issue could end up in court, and if that would open the door for a Democrat to win statewide office in South Carolina for the first time in 18 years.
After winning the Republican nomination Tuesday, Weaver seemed unworried at her victory party.
"Tonight we saw that voters understand the real qualification for this job is leadership and a strong backbone," Weaver told reporters Tuesday night. "That said, I will fully fulfill all the legal obligations to hold this job. I will complete my master's degree in educational leadership in October ahead of the general election."
Weaver faces Democratic candidate Lisa Ellis, a teacher and founder of education advocacy group SC for Ed who has an advanced degree. Green Party candidate Patricia Mickel is also on the ballot. She is a teacher but it is unclear if she has her master´s.

Weaver enrolled in April in a master´s program in educational leadership from Bob Jones University in Greenville, the conservative Christian school where she has an undergraduate degree in political science. The school's website says the program typically takes 12 to 18 months to complete.
But students can set their own pace. The registrar´s office confirmed to The Associated Press that Weaver is a current student and plans to take an online class in the fall.
The advanced degree requirement dates back to 2018, when 60% of voters rejected a constitutional amendment to have the governor appoint the education leader. Lawmakers also updated the qualifications for the job in a companion bill.
That put the superintendent job on the ballot again in 2022. But this time candidates must meet the new qualifications, which include a master´s degree and "broad-based experience" in public education as a teacher, administrator, school board member or policy making body or operational and financial management "in any field of expertise."
The new qualifications appeared on the South Carolina Election Commission´s website, but received little attention until a story published in The Post and Courier a day after filing for the office ended. Several candidates dropped out while others like Weaver pledged to get their advanced degrees.
Parties certify that candidates are qualified for offices for primaries, and Republicans said the pledge to get an advanced degree before the general election was enough.
Beyond the qualification question, Ellis' campaign said experience is important. Unlike Weaver, the Democrat has spent time in school in the classroom and administration, spokesperson Leesa Danzek said.
"Regardless of whether Weaver is able to complete and obtain her required master´s degree, there are of course some more practical qualifications that I think many parents and voters would like to see in the leader of education in South Carolina," Danzek told The Associated Press.
If Weaver gets her master's degree before statewide officers are inaugurated shortly after November's elections, there will be no legal question about her eligibility, said attorney Kevin Hall, who has been a legal counsel to the state Republican Party.
No one has sued Weaver over her qualifications yet, but both the degree and experience could be challenged. Weaver has no classroom or school administration experience and the South Carolina Education Oversight Committee she oversees does not set policy. She worked for former U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint before becoming president of the Palmetto Promise Institute think tank he founded.
With regards to concerns around Weaver´s experience, Hall noted that the code says extensive background in "any field of expertise" is necessary. With Weaver having been president of the Palmetto Promise Institute, Hall said her experience "speaks for itself."
South Carolina's education superintendent race has featured themes seen across the country with debates over COVID-19 classroom policies and conservative outcry over so-called "critical race theory."
Patrick Kelly, the director of government affairs at the Palmetto State Teacher's Association, said he was disappointed by the "abysmally low voter turnout" and nationalization of the primaries.
Just 17% of South Carolina voters cast ballots in the June 14 primary with both parties choosing their superintendent nominees. In the runoff involving Weaver two weeks later, participation fell to 7%, according the state Election Commission data.
"In the discussion around election integrity, we've been too quick to dismiss that here's a different threat beyond voter fraud, and that's voter apathy," Kelly said.
While the governor declared student mental health to be a crisis in the state, Kelly noted that candidates did not debate that issue. Meanwhile, he said the Republican primary included much discussion around critical race theory. The term is a way of thinking about America´s history through the lens of racism. It has become a political rallying cry on the right, but real-world examples of its teaching in classrooms have proved difficult to find.
While Kelly said "indoctrination" might be an issue in some parts of the state, he added that "at the end of the day that's not in our state standards."

Iran says it's ready for new talks with US on nuclear deal
UNITED NATIONS (AP) - Iran said Thursday it is ready for new indirect talks with the United States to overcome the last hurdles to revive its tattered 2015 nuclear deal with major powers amid a growing crisis over the country's atomic program.
Iran´s U.N. Ambassador Majid Takht Ravanchi told the U.N. Security Council that the Iranian "negotiating team is ready to engage constructively again to conclude and reach agreement."
"The ball is in U.S.´ court, and if the U.S. acts realistically and shows its serious intention to implement its obligations, the agreement is not out of reach," he added.
Ravanchi´s remarks came a day after indirect negotiations between Iran and the U.S. ended in Qatar after failing to make significant progress. Yet Ravanchi described the Qatar talks as "serious and positive."
He said Iran will contact the European Union coordinators "for the next stage of talks."
During intensive consultations with EU's foreign policy chief Josep Borrell in Tehran last week "Iran once again emphasized its willingness to provide creative solutions to the remaining issues in the hope of ending the deadlock," Ravanchi said.

He spoke at a Security Council meeting on the U.N. resolution that endorsed the 2015 nuclear deal and its five permanent members - the U.S., Russia, China, Britain and France - and Germany. In 2018, then-President Donald Trump pulled America out of the agreement, known as the JCPOA, raising tensions across the wider Middle East and sparking a series of attacks and incidents.
President Joe Biden's administration has been working to renew the agreement, which placed curbs on Iran´s nuclear program in exchange for billions of dollars in sanctions relief, which Iran insists it has never received.
The State Department said after this week´s talks in Doha that Iran "raised issues wholly unrelated to the JCPOA and apparently is not ready to make a fundamental decision on whether it wants to revive the deal or bury it."
Before Ravanchi spoke, U.S. deputy ambassador Richard Mills told the council that the United States "remains committed to a mutual return to full implementation" of the JCPOA.
Mills said the U.S. has been prepared for months to conclude a deal based on understandings negotiated in Vienna in March, "but we can only conclude a deal, and implement it, if Iran drops its additional demands that are outside the scope of the JCPOA."
The Vienna talks have been on "pause" since March. And since the deal´s collapse, Iran has been running advanced centrifuges and rapidly growing stockpiles of enriched uranium to 60% purity, a short, technical step away from weapons-grade levels.
However, Tehran continues to suffer under intense economic sanctions while the West hopes to again curtail its nuclear program. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-10970587/Iran-says-ready-new-talks-US-nuclear-deal.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-06-30T18:20:53Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-10970587/Iran-says-ready-new-talks-US-nuclear-deal.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false |

Dissolving implantable device can relieve pain without drugs, study suggests
Scientists have developed a small, soft, flexible implant that relieves pain on demand and without the use of drugs.
The new device has the potential to provide an alternative to opioids and other highly addictive drugs, researchers suggest.
It works by softly wrapping around nerves to deliver precise, targeted cooling, which numbs nerves and blocks pain signals to the brain.
This resembles the mechanism at play when the cold causes people’s fingers to feel numb.
A user can remotely activate the device with an external pump, and then increase or decrease its intensity.
According to the study, after the device is no longer needed, it naturally absorbs into the body, meaning it does not need to be surgically removed.
At the thickness of a sheet of paper, the soft, elastic nerve-cooling device is ideal for treating highly sensitive nerves, researchers say.
John Rogers, Northwestern University, America, who led the device’s development, said: “Although opioids are extremely effective, they also are extremely addictive.
“As engineers, we are motivated by the idea of treating pain without drugs — in ways that can be turned on and off instantly, with user control over the intensity of relief.
“The technology reported here exploits mechanisms that have some similarities to those that cause your fingers to feel numb when cold.
“Our implant allows that effect to be produced in a programmable way, directly and locally to targeted nerves, even those deep within surrounding soft tissues.”
Researchers believe the device could be most valuable for patients who undergo routine surgeries or even amputations that often require pain medication after the procedure.
Surgeons could implant the device during the surgery to help manage the patient’s post-operative pain.
“An implantable cooling device with on-demand local analgesia will be a game-changer for long-term pain management,” write Shan Jiang and Guosong Hong in a related Perspective.
The device uses a simple concept that everyone knows – evaporation.
Similar to how evaporating sweat cools the body, it contains a liquid coolant that is induced to evaporate at the specific location of a sensory nerve.
At its widest point, the tiny device is just five millimetres wide.
One end is curled into a cuff that softly wraps around a single nerve, meaning no stitches are needed.
Prof Rogers added: “If you think about soft tissues, fragile nerves and a body that’s in constant motion, any interfacing device must have the ability to flex, bend, twist and stretch easily and naturally.
“Furthermore, you would like the device to simply disappear after it is no longer needed, to avoid delicate and risky procedures for surgical removal.”
The findings are published in the journal Science. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-10970591/Dissolving-implantable-device-relieve-pain-without-drugs-study-suggests.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-06-30T18:22:33Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-10970591/Dissolving-implantable-device-relieve-pain-without-drugs-study-suggests.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false |
U.S. inflation data offer no quick relief to Fed, but hint at a peak
By Howard Schneider and Ann Saphir
WASHINGTON, June 30 (Reuters) - New U.S. data for May showed little immediate relief from the record pace of inflation pushing the Federal Reserve toward another oversized interest rate increase next month, but it did add to a developing sense that the worst may be over.
Inflation as measured by the personal consumption expenditures price index was 6.3% on an annualized basis in May, the same as in April and still more than triple the U.S. central bank's formal 2% target - far from the clear evidence of falling inflation that Fed officials say they need before backing off their rate hike plans.
Following the release of the latest inflation data, traders of futures tied to the central bank's targeted federal funds rate kept bets that it would proceed with another 75-basis-point rate hike next month.
But those same traders also saw an opening for the Fed to slow the pace of rate increases as of November and stop hiking rates altogether in early 2023, as evidence mounts that inflation may have peaked and the economy overall is slowing.
While the headline inflation number showed no decline, a separate measure excluding volatile food and energy costs fell for the third consecutive month and is now at a six-month low of 4.7%.
The measure of so-called "core" inflation is controversial, since it excludes some of the prices that most impact daily life. The Fed's focus on PCE inflation, as opposed to the separate, and typically higher, consumer price index, is also a matter of debate since it gives less weight to the costs of items like housing which also have been rising fast.
But the decline in core PCE, should it continue, would still carry weight among policymakers as a powerful signal of where prices are heading.
"A combination of slower wage gains, lower margin inflation, and the stronger dollar is beginning to drive a clear slowdown in core inflation," Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, wrote in a note, while adding that "it has much further to go" to become convincing for the Fed.
But the seeds of that may be taking root.
Recent data revisions showed less consumer spending at the start of the year than originally estimated, and the data released on Thursday showed that, on an inflation-adjusted basis, both disposable income and consumer spending declined in May.
Buoyant consumer demand, fueled in part by trillions of dollars in pandemic relief payments from the federal government, is considered one factor behind the recent surge in prices. An aim of the Fed in raising interest rates has been to bring that record demand for goods and services more closely into line with what the economy can produce or import.
Michael Pearce, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics, estimated that U.S. economic growth for the April-June period slipped to an annualized rate of 1%. That is far below U.S. trend growth rates typically estimated to be around 2%, the sort of "output gap" that might relieve the demand-related pressure on prices.
"We expect growth to remain below trend over the second half of the year too," Pearce wrote.
HIGH BAR
Between those signs of slowing growth and potentially slowing inflation, it's now a matter of judgment for the Fed about how to weigh the need to follow through on anticipated rate increases against the risk the economy may slow faster than expected or even tip into recession.
At a central banking conference in Portugal this week, Fed Chair Jerome Powell made clear - again - that the bar for the U.S. central bank to slow or halt further rate increases is a high one. Policymakers want to be sure public views about inflation over the long term do not drift higher, a fate they feel they have avoided so far, but also are inclined to reinforce beyond a doubt.
They've also watched financial markets take the expected monetary policy tightening to heart, and raise the cost of credit far faster than the Fed itself has acted to lift the short-term federal funds rate. The average contract rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage in the United States, for example, has roughly doubled to 5.70% since last September when the Fed signaled its pivot to tighter credit conditions. The first hike of the Fed's current tightening cycle did not come until March.
For the Fed, that's like money in the bank, and won't be surrendered easily.
"By and large since last fall when we pivoted ... markets have been pretty well aligned ... with where we are going," Powell said on Wednesday. "It's constructive that the market in effect is doing your work for you."

Which LEGO robot kits are best?
Building LEGO toys has long been a favorite pastime for kids of all ages. Over the years, the LEGO brand has expanded to all kinds of different kits — from Adidas sneakers to the Hogwarts Castle and lifesize tropical plants. However, some of the most popular kits today are LEGO robot kits. With robots, the fun doesn’t stop when the building is finished. Some LEGO kits feature programmable robots with sensors and motors that can move around and complete tasks.
One of the best LEGO robot kits is the Mindstorms EV3. This exciting kit is transformable into 17 different designs, each with programmable commands.
What to know before you buy a LEGO robot kit
Programmable
Some of the more advanced LEGO robot kits are programmable. After all, this is what makes a robot a robot. These LEGO robot kits use motors and sensors that allow your robot to move around and complete tasks using rollers on their feet. Think of them as a remote-controlled RC car, but with arms. Once the robot is complete, you can go online and download user-created programs that you can control your phone or tablet. LEGO even has a Robot Commander App that you can use to program the Mindstorms series.
Model
Model robot kits are non-programmable and designed as stand-alone toys. While some have moving parts like arms and legs, they don’t move on their own using motors or sensors. Model kits are generally easier to put together and require less complex instructions. Another benefit of model robots is that they offer a wider array of styles, including Star Wars and Ninjago.
Age range
Age range basically refers to skill level. The older a child is, the higher their skill level will be to put together more complex robot kits. The more complicated programmable robots, such as the Mindstorms kits, ask that the assembler be at least 10 years old. The non-programmable Ninjago Salvage robot is suitable for children starting at age 8.
What to look for in a quality LEGO robot kit
Transformable
Some of the more advanced (and most fun) robot kits are also transformable. For example, the Mindstorms EV3 robot comes with 601 pieces, 3 different motors and multiple sensors. All of these pieces allow the robot to take up to 17 different character designs. The tallest version is called SPIK3R, which takes the shape of a robotic scorpion and stands over 16 inches high and 14 inches long.
STEM education
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics is a type of education that encourages students to learn about engineering solutions to problems. So naturally, LEGO wanted to give children the opportunity to learn these skills by playing with toys. There are many types of quality LEGO robot kits that help children learn about engineering. Mindstorms, DUPLO and LEGO BOOST are just some versions of its toys that use STEM education.
Motors
LEGO robot kits that use motors are a part of the programmable type of kits. These motors allow your robot to execute tasks and move around the environment. The robot can move its arms to pick up objects, turn its wheels to go from point A to point B and use its tools to interact with its surroundings. Alongside the coding that you input, these motors can do more complex tasks like play guitar, knit sweaters and solve a Rubik’s Cube.
How much you can expect to spend on a LEGO robot kit
LEGO robot kits cost anywhere from $40 all the way up to $650 for the most complex, programmable robots.
LEGO robot kits FAQ
Why are the programmable LEGO robot kits so expensive?
A. You shouldn’t underestimate the complexity of the programmable robot kits like the Mindstorms. LEGO uses many electronic parts that include multiple motors and sensors for color, infrared and touch. It also includes a USB connection so you can program the robot on your tablet or laptop. All of these expensive electronics add up to create a costly engineering toy.
Are LEGO robot kits fun for adults too?
A. Yes! Adults can absolutely enjoy LEGO robot kits. These kits are designed to teach kids about problem-solving and allow them to learn about the basics of engineering. If you’re new to engineering as an adult, LEGO robot kits can be a great way to dive headfirst into a new hobby. Also, what better way to learn about programming and coding than by teaching a LEGO robot to play chess.

A look at what’s happening around the majors today:
___
GOING MY WAY?
The Yankees and Astros will meet in a one-game series between AL division leaders at Minute Maid Park — it’s a makeup of a matchup postponed by the lockout.
Both teams were on New York-to-Houston flights after wins Wednesday afternoon in the Big Apple. Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton homered at Yankee Stadium in a 5-3 victory over Oakland; Justin Verlander and the Astros beat the NL East-leading Mets 2-0 at Citi Field.
Houston left fielder Yordan Álvarez and shortstop Jeremy Peña were hurt when they collided while running down a popup. Álvarez left on a cart, sitting up, and Peña walked back to the dugout. Both were walking in the clubhouse postgame and manager Dusty Baker said the team was awaiting medical reports.
Luis Garcia (5-5, 3.68 ERA), who beat the Yankees in his last outing, starts for Houston against Luis Severino (4-2, 3.38 ERA). The clubs split a four-game series in the Bronx last weekend.
It’ll be a quick trip to Texas for the Yankees — they begin a series Friday night in Cleveland. Houston gets to stay home and welcome Mike Trout, Shohei Ohtani and the Angels over the weekend.
NO PLACE LIKE HOME
Trea Turner, Freddie Freeman and the NL West-leading Dodgers open their longest homestand of the season, an 11-game stay against San Diego, Colorado and the Cubs.
Joe Musgrove (8-1, 2.12 ERA) starts for the second-place Padres against Mitch White (1-1, 4.25). Musgrove absorbed his only loss this year in his previous start, giving up six runs in six innings to Philadelphia.
Los Angeles is 20-12 at Dodger Stadium. The Padres are 24-15 on the road.
“I know we’re leading (the division) and they’re going to come with some energy as we’ve seen. We’ve got to match it,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “We’ve got to play good baseball. Either way, we still have a lot of baseball to play, but certainly we want to play our best baseball this series.”
SO LONG, FOR A WHILE
Luis Arraez and the Minnesota Twins wrap up a five-game series in Cleveland with the last of eight matchups in a 10-day span between the top two teams in the AL Central. After this one, they won’t see each other again until September.
Chris Archer (2-3, 3.14 ERA) starts for Minnesota against 2020 AL Cy Young Award winner Shane Bieber (3-4, 3.07). Archer is 0-7 with a 5.87 ERA in eight career starts against Cleveland.
Minnesota leads the division by two games over Cleveland after the teams split the first four games of the series.
Josh Naylor hit a two-run homer with two outs in the 10th inning Wednesday night, completing a four-run rally that gave the Guardians a thrilling 7-6 victory. After rounding the bases, Naylor excitedly headbutted 63-year-old Cleveland manager Terry Francona, who was wearing a batting helmet.
“I don’t think you’ll see a game much more difficult on a team than that,” Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said. “We’ve got to find a way to finish games out.”
JUNE BLOOM
Star outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. (bruised left foot) will rejoin the Braves in Philadelphia and could play as Atlanta goes for a three-game sweep.
Acuña has missed the last three games after fouling a ball off his foot in Saturday’s win over the Dodgers. He stayed back in Atlanta for treatment when the Braves traveled to Philadelphia.
The Braves are 21-5 in June, matching the team record for most wins in a calendar month since the club moved from Milwaukee to Atlanta in 1966. They’ll try to set a new mark when Ian Anderson (6-4, 4.60 ERA) pitches against Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola (4-5, 2.98).
CHECK HIM
The Brewers will see how center fielder Jonathan Davis is feeling, a day after he crashed headfirst into the padded wall at Tampa Bay making a tremendous catch.
Davis ran at full speed and jumped back to snag Randy Arozarena’s drive in the second inning Wednesday. He stayed down for several minutes holding his back and exited the game the next inning with lower back and rib cage discomfort.
“Spectacular, scary … those two words,” Milwaukee manager Craig Counsell said. “He’s doing pretty good. He is sore. He’s a good center fielder, so I did think he had a chance, but where the ball ended up and how hard it was hit … for him to get there and put his health and body at risk is brilliant.”
The Brewers open a series at Pittsburgh.

U.S. adds 'Cryptoqueen' to most-wanted list over alleged $4 billion fraud
By Luc Cohen
NEW YORK, June 30 (Reuters) - A German citizen accused of defrauding investors out of $4 billion by selling a fake cryptocurrency called OneCoin has been added to the FBI's list of its ten most-wanted fugitives, U.S. officials said on Thursday.
Ruja Ignatova, also known as "Cryptoqueen," was charged in 2019 with eight counts including wire fraud and securities fraud for running the Bulgaria-based OneCoin Ltd as a pyramid scheme. Prosecutors say the company offered commissions for members to entice others to buy a worthless cryptocurrency.
"She timed her scheme perfectly, capitalizing on the frenzied speculation of the early days of cryptocurrency," said Damian Williams, the top federal prosecutor in Manhattan.
Williams described OneCoin as "one of the largest Ponzi schemes in history."
Ignatova disappeared in late 2017 after bugging an apartment belonging to her American boyfriend and learning he was cooperating with an FBI probe into OneCoin, Williams said. She boarded a flight from Bulgaria to Greece and has not been seen since, he said.
The FBI is offering a $100,000 reward for information leading to Ignatova's capture, said Michael Driscoll, the FBI's assistant director-in-charge in New York.
Driscoll declined to comment on any leads as to where Ignatova might be. The bureau adds fugitives to its most-wanted list when it believes the public may be able to assist with tracking suspects down.
"She left with a tremendous amount of cash," Driscoll told reporters. "Money can buy a lot of friends, and I would imagine she's taking advantage of that."
Ignatova was charged alongside Mark Scott, a former corporate lawyer who prosecutors said laundered around $400 million for OneCoin. Scott was found guilty of conspiracy to commit money laundering and conspiracy to commit bank fraud following a three-week trial in Manhattan federal court.

League-UK sports minister drops the oval ball with drop-goal gaffe
LONDON, June 30 (Reuters) - Britain's Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, Nadine Dorries, delivered a stunning gaffe on Thursday when, praising the sport of rugby league, she referenced the most famous moment in England's rugby union history.
Speaking at an event promoting this year's Rugby League World Cup in St Helens, right in the 13-man code's northern English heartland, she said: "I´ve always quite liked the idea of rugby league. My long-standing memory is that 2003 drop goal. I´ll let you into a secret. I think we were drinking bloody marys at the time. It was 11 o´clock in the morning but wow what a moment that was."
That extra-time drop goal in Sydney by Jonny Wilkinson won rugby union's World Cup for England - still the only time a northern hemisphere team has triumphed in the 15-man code.
Having been informed of her blunder, Dorries later tweeted: "Like (former England union and league winger) Jason Robinson I may have switched codes in my speech...
"Both league & union have a rich heritage in the UK. Obviously I've followed rugby league much less in my lifetime, but I'm looking forward to watching England (& all the home nations) in the RL World Cup this Autumn."
The tournament takes place from Oct. 15-Nov. 19. Union's next World Cup is in France next year.

SHERIDAN, Ore. (AP) — Oregon’s federal public defender says dozens of people inside the state’s only federal prison have been on a hunger strike protesting conditions inside the facility.
“We heard last week that some incarcerated people had started a hunger strike, and the government confirmed (Monday) that about 80 people are now participating,” Lisa Hay, the federal public defender, told Oregon Public Broadcasting in a statement.
Oregon’s U.S. Attorney’s Office would not confirm a hunger strike in the detention center at the Federal Correctional Institution in Sheridan to OPB. The institution houses people who have been charged but not convicted of crimes.
The Bureau of Prisons this week confirmed some people inside the detention center did not accept their meals.
“Numerous inmates assigned to the detention center at Federal Correctional Institution Sheridan did not accept meals prepared by the Bureau of Prisons for several days,” BOP spokesperson Benjamin O’Cone wrote in a statement. “However, during this time, these inmates had access to purchased goods from the commissary for consumption.”
O’Cone also said the men in custody are “currently accepting their meals.”
Hay has filed dozens of petitions seeking people’s release from the prison over concerns about poor medical care and inmates sometimes spending weekends locked in their cells.
During the past two years, Hay’s court filings have documented troubling reports she’s received from people inside, including cancer patients who have not received treatment for months and inmates who say they’ve attempted suicide and haven't received medication or requested mental health treatment. At least six inmates have died at Sheridan since March 2020. None of the deaths were from COVID-19.
"We had hoped that the existence of these lawsuits would spur reforms within the Bureau of Prisons, but any progress over these last two years has been frustratingly slow,” Hay said in her Monday statement. | https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/80-people-in-Oregon-s-federal-prison-go-on-17277089.php | 2022-06-30T18:27:13Z | https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/80-people-in-Oregon-s-federal-prison-go-on-17277089.php | false |
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Days after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that states can prohibit abortion, Alabama has seized on the decision to argue that the state should also be able to ban gender-affirming medical treatments for transgender youth.
The case marks one of the first known instances in which a conservative state has tried to apply the abortion ruling to other realms, just as LGBTQ advocates and others were afraid would happen.
Critics have expressed fear that the legal reasoning behind the high court ruling could lead to a rollback of decisions involving such matters as gay marriage and birth control.
The state is asking a federal appeals court to lift an injunction and let it enforce an Alabama law that would make it a felony to give puberty blockers or hormones to transgender minors to help affirm their gender identity.
In its historic ruling last Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court said terminating a pregnancy is not a fundamental constitutional right because abortion is not mentioned in the Constitution and is not “deeply rooted in this nation’s history and tradition.”
In a brief filed Monday, the Alabama attorney general’s office argued similarly that gender transition treatments are not “deeply rooted in our history or traditions,” and thus the state has the authority to ban them. Alabama contends such treatments are dangerous and experimental, a view disputed by medical organizations.
Shannon Minter, legal director of the National Center for Lesbian Rights, said it is the first case he is aware of in which a state cited the abortion ruling on another issue, but added, “It won’t be the last.”
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito wrote in the majority opinion that the abortion ruling should not cast “doubt on precedents that do not concern abortion.” But Justice Clarence Thomas wrote that the same legal reasoning should be used to reconsider high court rulings protecting same-sex marriage, gay sex and contraceptives.
“It is no surprise that Alabama and other extremely conservative states are going to take up that invitation as forcefully as they can,” Minter said. “Justice Thomas’ concurrence was a declaration of war on groups already under attack, and we expect the hostility to be escalated.”
He said a rethinking of such constitutional protections could affect things like birth control and parental rights.
“They are not just talking about LGBT people,” Minter said.
Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall was unavailable for comment Thursday, a spokesman said.
Jeff Walker, who has a 15-year-old transgender daughter, said this spring that it felt as if Alabama were attacking families like his with legislation targeting transgender kids’ medication and dictating their choice of school bathrooms, locker rooms and sports teams. He said the state’s argument in this case is worrisome for everyone.
“I think everyone should be concerned by the wording of this appeal. By this logic, any health care the state feels isn’t in line with its morals or beliefs should be banned,” Walker said.
The Alabama case could become be an early test of where judges stand on the scope of the abortion ruling. The appeals court granted the state’s request for an expedited schedule for submitting briefs, and a decision could come as early as this fall.
While Alabama was already appealing the injunction in the transgender medication case, the state quickly incorporated the abortion decision into its filing.
Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey this spring signed the law making it a crime punishable by up to 10 years in prison to dispense certain medication to minors to help with their gender transition.
A federal judge in May issued a preliminary injunction blocking the measure, siding with parents who said the law violates their children’s rights and their own rights to direct their youngsters’ medical care. | https://www.koin.com/news/ap-top-headlines/alabama-cites-abortion-ruling-in-transgender-medication-case/ | 2022-06-30T18:27:13Z | https://www.koin.com/news/ap-top-headlines/alabama-cites-abortion-ruling-in-transgender-medication-case/ | false |
