The Czech Republic will take over the rotating presidency of the Council of the European Union on Friday, the second time it has done so since the country joined the EU in 2004.
During its six-month chairmanship, the Czech Republic plans to focus on the war in Ukraine and its consequences. This includes coping with the influx of refugees and improving energy security.
To mark the occasion, the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen and the Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala are meeting on Friday at Litomysl Castle, about 160 kilometers east of Prague.
France held the rotating presidency for the first half of this year.
A Russian missile struck a multi-story apartment building in Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi in Odesa region early on Friday, killing at least 14 people and wounding 30, the emergency services said.
Seven people were rescued from the rubble of the building, including three children, they said.
Another Russian missile hit a hospitality facility near Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi. In that case, three people were killed and one person injured, emergency services said.
Serhiy Bratchuk, spokesman for the Odesa regional administration, said that the missiles had been fired by aircraft from the Black Sea.
The Russian military said its had withdrawn its troops from Snake Island, an island belonging to Ukraine located in the Black Sea.
Russia's Defense Ministry said it pulled out its forces from the island near the Black Sea port of Odesa as a "goodwill gesture."
However, the commander of Kyiv's armed forces, Valeriy Zaluzhnyi, said that Ukrainian-made Bohdana howitzers had played a significant part in liberating Snake Island from Moscow forces and thanked foreign partners for their support.
German Vice-Chancellor Robert Habeck said he suspected that Russia may not resume natural gas supplies to Europe through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline after planned maintenance work next month.
While closing a NATO summit in Madrid, US President Joe Biden described the meeting as "historic," noting the last time the military alliance updated its strategic concept, in 2010, Russia was classified as a partner. Some 12 years on, the alliance described Russia as "the most significant and direct threat to Allies' security and to peace and stability in the Euro-Atlantic area."
Biden also said the US would provide Ukraine with additional weapons aid to the value of $800 million (€768 million).
Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that a new "iron curtain" was descending between Russia and the West.
German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier spoke on the phone with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine. Steinmeier congratulated the Ukrainian leader on his country's EU candidate status and expressed respect for Zelenskyy's "heroic fight against the Russian aggressor."

Abortion, women's rights grow as priorities: AP-NORC poll
WASHINGTON (AP) - A new poll finds a growing percentage of Americans calling out abortion or women´s rights as priorities for the government in the wake of the Supreme Court´s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, especially among Democrats and those who support abortion access.
With midterm elections looming, President Joe Biden and Democrats will seek to capitalize on that shift.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in remarks immediately after the decision that "reproductive freedom is on the ballot in November." But with pervasive pessimism and a myriad of crises facing the nation, it´s not clear whether the ruling will break through to motivate those voters - or just disappoint them.
"It does feel like a major setback," said 26-year-old Lauren Nelson of San Diego, who has been worrying about the environment her young niece will grow up in. She doesn´t think the midterms will change the course that states are on. "You can´t help but feel kind of helpless, as though there´s not much that can be done."
Twenty-two percent of U.S. adults name abortion or women´s rights in an open-ended question as one of up to five problems they want the government to work on, according to the poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. That´s more than doubled since December, when an AP-NORC poll found a notable uptick in mentions of abortion from years before, likely in anticipation of the Dobbs ruling on abortion.
The new poll, which included interviews conducted before and after the Supreme Court´s ruling, finds prioritization of the issues grew sharply following the decision.

Wade, especially among Democrats and those who support abortion access. (AP Photo/Gemunu Amarasinghe, File)
The Dobbs ruling kicks decision-making on abortion back to states, and in the last week, Republican governors and legislatures have moved to introduce or advance legislation that bans or curtails abortions.
Polling conducted before the decision showed it was unpopular with a majority of Americans, who wanted to see the court leave Roe as is. A majority of Americans support abortion access in general, though many say there should be restrictions.
Mentions of abortion specifically are not limited to Americans who support abortion rights; instead, the poll shows abortion is named as a priority about equally by adults with hardline opinions on both sides of the issue -- the third who think abortion should be legal in all cases and the 1 in 10 who think abortion should be illegal in all cases.
Earnestine Smith, a 68-year-old resident of Waukegan, Illinois, said the Supreme Court´s decision to overturn Roe represents progress. The issue is one of her highest priorities right now.
"We want abortion abolished and done away with," she said. "We got to stand up and say no."
Still, it´s significant that those with the most liberal views on abortion and those with the most conservative views are about equally likely to prioritize the issue; historically, research has shown opponents of abortion have been more likely to consider the issue important to them than those supporting abortion access.
And the new poll finds mentions of women´s rights are almost exclusively by those who think abortion should be legal.
According to the poll, the percentage of women prioritizing abortion or women's rights was already higher in interviews conducted before the ruling than six months ago, 21% vs. 9% in December; it swelled to 37% in the days after. Mentions grew sharply among men, too, but the growth was concentrated in the wake of the ruling, from 6% in interviews conducted before to 21% after.
Lyle Gist said he wouldn´t have thought of abortion as a top priority a few years ago. The court decision to overturn Roe, though unsurprising, makes it a major issue.
"I think the ramifications of this are substantial," said 36-year-old Gist of Los Angeles. Gist thinks that there will be ripple effects, including a "mass exodus" of people moving out of states with abortion bans.
In a small town in Louisiana in 1968, when abortion was illegal, Anne Jones carried a pregnancy to term and gave her daughter up for adoption. Jones, now 74 in Plano, Texas, worries about what the Republican Party might go after next -- like birth control -- and thinks it´s hypocritical that lawmakers like Texas Gov. Greg Abbott want to "hold the woman accountable for the child that she may not be able to afford to keep" even as they limit health and social services for women and children.
"Politics in Texas has taken a wrong turn," she said. She wants to see abortion access made national law but remains skeptical that Biden and Democrats can do so.
The poll shows these issues have been increasingly important to Democrats, growing from just 3% in 2020 to 13% in 2021 and now 33%. In interviews before the ruling, 18% of Democrats mentioned abortion or women´s rights; that was 42% after.
Among Republicans, 11% identify abortion or women's rights as a priority in the new poll, a modest increase from 5% who said that in December.
Steven Lefemine, who protests outside the Planned Parenthood in Columbia, South Carolina, called Roe´s reversal a "major benchmark" but said lawmakers needed to do much more, including pursuing a constitutional amendment to protect unborn children.
"I´d like to see legislation that lives up to God´s word," he said.
Biden and Democrats have vowed to fight for abortion access, but they´ve struggled with how to act given crippling opposition from Republicans in a sharply divided Senate. Biden said to reporters on Thursday that he would support an exception to the filibuster rule to codify Roe into law.
Roderick Hinton, who voted for Biden, wants to see the president move on court reform, saying the court´s decisions "are not matching today´s time." He was angry after the court overturned Roe -- that the older generation is "putting the screws" to younger Americans, including his two daughters.
Biden commissioned a review of the Supreme Court after promising to do so on the campaign trail, a response to rhetoric within the Democratic Party about expanding the court following former President Donald Trump´s three conservative appointments. The report released last year exercised caution about proposals to expand the court or set term limits.
"Their lifetime position is really crazy," Hinton said. "As neutral as the courts were, it´s now becoming political. Their personal beliefs are being put in place."

TOKYO (AP) — Asian benchmarks were mostly lower on Friday, echoing a decline on Wall Street, after a quarterly report by Japan’s central bank rekindled worries about the world’s third largest economy.
Recent data suggest global growth is slowing as countries grapple with renewed waves of coronavirus outbreaks, soaring prices and the war in Ukraine.
Shares fell in Japan and South Korea, but rose slightly in Australia. Trading was closed in Hong Kong for a holiday.
In the Bank of Japan “tankan” survey, the headline index for large manufacturers was 9, down from 14 in the previous quarter and the second straight quarter of declines. The tankan measures corporate sentiment by subtracting the number of companies saying business conditions are negative from those responding they are positive.
The numbers for non-manufacturing indicators were better, but worries are growing because of pressures from a weakening Japanese yen.
The tankan results might spur criticism over the Bank of Japan's ultra-loose monetary policy, which is a factor behind the weaker yen, said Stephen Innes, managing partner at SPI Asset Management.

“The Bank may wait until the Q3 survey is released before stepping away from its ultra-dovish setting,” he said in a report.
However in a bit of positive news, a survey by a Chinese business magazine, Caixin, found China’s factory activity expanded in June at its strongest rate in 13 months following an easing of anti-virus restrictions that shut down Shanghai and other industrial centers..
A monthly purchasing managers’ index issued by Caixin rose to 51.7 from 48.1 in May on a 100-point scale on which numbers above 50 show activity increasing. New orders rose while employment declined for a third month.
Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 dropped 0.8% to 26,175.78. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 edged up 0.2% to 6,580.90. South Korea's Kospi lost 0.4% to 2,322.55. The Shanghai Composite rose 0.2% to 3,403.85.
Hong Kong's markets were closed for a holiday.
On Thursday, Wall Street closed out its worst quarter since the onset of the pandemic in early 2020. It was the worst first half since the first six months of 1970.
“And in 1970 there was a solid rebound after that first half decline,” said Lindsey Bell, chief markets and money strategist at Ally Invest. “This time around, the impact of the Fed, the impact of inflation and the uncertainty of where growth goes from here is really weighing on investors’ minds. ... We just don’t know when the clouds of uncertainty are going to start to clear.”
The S&P 500 fell 0.9%, its fourth consecutive drop, to 3,785.38. The benchmark index is now down 21% since it hit an all-time high at the beginning of the year. It entered a bear market earlier in June.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.8%, to 30,775.43. The Nasdaq slid 1.3% to 11,028.74, and small company stocks also fell, with the Russell 2000 losing 0.7% to 1,707.99.
Rising inflation has been behind much of the slump for the broader market this year as businesses raise prices on everything from food to clothing and consumers are squeezed tighter. Inflation remains stubbornly hot, according to a series of recent economic updates.
The Federal Reserve and other central banks have been aggressively raising interest rates to try and slow economic growth in order to cool inflation. Higher rates can bring down inflation, but they also risk a recession by slowing the economy too much. They also push down on prices for stocks, bonds, cryptocurrencies and other investments.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury, which helps set mortgage rates, fell to 3.01% from 3.09% late Wednesday.
Technology companies were among the biggest weights on the market, as investors continued to favor utilities and other traditional defensive stocks. Apple fell 1.8%, while Exelon rose 2.2%.
Retailers and other companies that rely directly on consumer spending also posted big losses. Amazon slipped 2.5% and Best Buy shed 2.9%.
Investors got another update on inflation Thursday. A measure of inflation that is closely tracked by the Fed rose 6.3% in May from a year earlier, unchanged from its level in April. The report from the Commerce Department also said consumer spending rose at a sluggish 0.2% rate from April to May.
The update follows a worrisome report earlier this week showing that consumer confidence slipped to its lowest level in 16 months. The government has also reported that the U.S. economy shrank 1.6% in the first quarter. Weak consumer spending was a key part of that contraction.
The OPEC oil cartel and allied producing nations decided Thursday to increase production of crude oil, but the amount will likely do little to relieve high gasoline prices at the pump and energy-fueled inflation plaguing the global economy.
In energy trading, benchmark U.S. crude added 50 cents to $106.26 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent crude, the international standard, added 63 cents to $109.66 a barrel.
In currency trading, the U.S. dollar inched down to 135.28 Japanese yen from 135.75 yen. The euro cost $1.0464, down from $1.0484.

Leicestershire MP Andrew Bridgen is plotting a fresh bid to oust Boris Johnson as Prime Minister by changing Tory party rules. Current rules state the Conservatives can only hold one vote of no confidence in the Prime Minister every year, but Mr Bridgen plans to try to change that rule.
The PM won the last vote of confidence on June 6 with 211 of his own MPs backing his leadership. But 148 of them said they had no confidence in Mr Johnson in the wake of the Partygate scandal and the public’s loss of trust in his leadership.
Mr Bridgen, who is an outspoken opponent of the Prime Minister, told GB News he feels anti-Boris sentiment in the party now might well have shifted following two recent by election defeats. And he believes there is the possibility to hold another confidence vote without having to wait until next summer.

Mr Bridgen said he plans to put himself forward for membership of the 1922 Committee - an influential group of backbench Tory MPs - when nominations open next week. And if he is elected, he said he would advocate a change in the rules that only allow one vote of confidence every 12 months.
He said: “Nominations for membership of the 1922 Committee open next week, I believe. I think the vote will be the week after and I'm going to put my hat in the ring on a manifesto of a rule change.
He added: “Clearly if a majority of the committee are elected with that mindset, then the rules can be changed. If the committee is of such a composition, that would indicate that the party is ready for a vote of no confidence again.”
The two by-election defeats for the Conservatives led to the resignation of the party’s co-chair Oliver Dowden, with the PM insisting he will not resign. Mr Bridgen believed the losses led to a “very, very bad night” for Number 10 and was causing serious headaches for those in charge.
“Ultimately, it's a very, very bad night for the Government. And it doesn't matter how much you try to play down the fact that we lost a seat that has always been Conservative endeavour and had a 24,000 Conservative majority only a couple of years ago,” he said.
“Of course, Conservative voters don't have to switch to other parties to cause the Conservatives to lose elections. They merely have to stay at home and not vote at all. This is a form of protest, but it's tremendously serious."

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin's conservative-controlled Supreme Court handed Republicans their newest weapon to weaken any Democratic governors in the battleground state, ruling this week that political appointees don't have to leave their posts until the Senate confirms their successor.
The court's decision — in the case of a conservative who refused to step down from an environmental policy board for more than a year after his term expired — marks another loss for Democratic Gov. Tony Evers as he faces reelection in November. Republicans have worked to reduce Evers' powers since even before he took office and have refused to confirm many of his appointees. This week's ruling gives them the ability to block them simply by declining to hold a nomination vote.
“Most people on the street would say when a term ... expires, there’s an opening. The Supreme Court has said that commonsense understanding is not right," University of Wisconsin-Madison political science professor Barry Burden said. The ruling "raises the question of why is there a term at all? Maybe we just say a person serves for life the way a U.S. Supreme Court justice does.”
People are also reading…
Republicans are likely to control the Legislature for years to come largely due to gerrymandered districts.
After Evers was elected in 2018 but before he took office, they passed laws during a lame-duck session that temporarily stripped him of his power to appoint members of the state’s economic development agency and gave legislators the ability to block executive branch agencies’ rules and policies.
So far, the Senate has refused to confirm about 42% of Evers' 299 appointees, according to Evers' office. What's more, the Senate took the rare step in 2019 of voting not to confirm Evers' agriculture secretary, Brad Pfaff, after Pfaff criticized GOP lawmakers for not providing enough money to help farmers with mental health problems. Pfaff had to step down.
The struggle over appointments took a turn in the spring of 2021 when Fred Prehn's term on the Department of Natural Resources policy board ended. Evers appointed his successor, a move that would have given his appointees a one-member majority on the board and his administration the power to shape environmental policy.
Prehn, who was appointed by former Republican Gov. Scott Walker, refused to step down. He has since cast the deciding vote to increase the quota for the state's wolf hunt and to scrap limits in well water on a group of chemicals known as PFAS, an abbreviation for perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substance,
Democratic Attorney General Josh Kaul sued to force Prehn off the board. The state Supreme Court's four-justice conservative majority ruled Wednesday that a vacancy must exist before a governor can fill it — and that a “vacancy” occurs only if the incumbent dies, resigns or is removed for misconduct.
The decision essentially prevents a governor from replacing the previous governor's appointees without Senate confirmation.
The ruling left Democrats stunned.
“Today, I remind the Wisconsin Supreme Court and the Republican Party of this state that we do still live in a democracy, a very basic function of which is the peaceful and respectful transfer of power, even — and most especially — when you lose,” Evers said. “(His appointees) should be considered on their merit, and should have the opportunity to serve the people of our state, regardless of whether or not they were appointed by a Democrat or share the same ideas as Republicans in the Legislature.”
Kaul called the decision another symptom of the breakdown of democracy.
“What this (ruling) is doing is allowing the Legislature to not represent the people of Wisconsin, to expand its authority and control an executive branch agency,” Kaul said.
Adam Gibbs, a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu, didn't respond to messages.
Prehn isn't the only Republican appointee who has refused to leave. The 13-member Wisconsin Technical College Board has three members whose terms ended in May 2021.
Nicholas Fleisher, president of the Wisconsin chapter of the American Association of University Professors, said the Prehn decision also adds another layer of politics to University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents, 16 of whom are appointed by the governor to seven-year terms. She said it could hurt the board's credibility nationwide.
“Like so much else in our (government) systems, there are certain norms, decorum and shame involved in making these systems work,” he said. “Those things are obviously out the window."

The 6-foot-6, 308-pound Jagusah is the No. 55 player in the country, per 247sports.com, and the sixth-ranked offensive tackle. He is the 16th commitment in Notre Dame’s class, which is No. 2 nationally.
NFL adamant on suspension
Deshaun Watson’s disciplinary hearing concluded Thursday with the NFL adamant about an indefinite suspension of at least one year and the quarterback’s legal team arguing there’s no basis for that punishment, two people with knowledge of the case told The Associated Press. Both sides presented their arguments over three days before former U.S. District Judge Sue Robinson in Delaware. Robinson, who was jointly appointed by the league and the NFL Players’ Association, will determine whether Watson violated the NFL’s personal conduct policy and whether to impose discipline. Post-hearing briefs are due the week of July 11 so it’s uncertain when Robinson will make a ruling. | https://www.journalgazette.net/sports/fridays-briefs/article_5b98443a-f8ba-11ec-8165-33d963f6eacf.html | 2022-07-01T05:18:19Z | https://www.journalgazette.net/sports/fridays-briefs/article_5b98443a-f8ba-11ec-8165-33d963f6eacf.html | false |

Court leaves dwindling paths for Biden’s climate mission
WASHINGTON (AP) — More than 500 days into his presidency, Joe Biden’s hope for saving the Earth from the most devastating effects of climate change may not be dead.
But it’s not far from it.
A Supreme Court ruling Thursday not only limited the Environmental Protection Agency’s ability to regulate climate pollution by power plants, but also suggests the court is poised to block other efforts by Biden and federal agencies to limit the climate-wrecking fumes emitted by oil, gas and coal.
It’s a blow to Biden’s commitment to slash emissions in the few years scientists say are left to stave off worse and deadlier levels of global warming. And it’s a sign, to Democrats at home and allies abroad, of the dwindling options remaining for Biden to reverse the legacy of President Donald Trump, who mocked the science of climate change. Trump’s three Supreme Court appointees provided half of the affirmative votes in Thursday’s 6-3 ruling.
After the ruling, a veteran Democratic lawmaker acknowledged he saw no hope of Congress producing any meaningful climate legislation, either. The foreign allies whom Biden once spoke of leading to a global clean-power transformation are wondering if the United States can even lead itself.
And in a Houston neighborhood entering hurricane season, a man who had spent four decades advocating for the Black communities and other communities of color and poorer communities hit hardest by pollution and the record heat, cold, floods and storms of climate change reacted to the ruling like many others did Thursday — saying it was all up to Biden now to act – and act in a big way.
“This is real,” said Robert Bullard, an academic who became a pioneer in what became the U.S. environmental justice movement, of the multiplying natural disasters – the kind scientists say are increasingly influenced by the heating atmosphere -- wrecking cities on America’s vulnerable Gulf of Mexico.
“Those communities that have been flooded out...some of those communities still have blue tarps on their houses,” Bullard said. “So I don’t think the Supreme Court and and some of our elected officials are speaking about the urgency of where we are when it comes to our climate.”
The dismay at the ruling expressed by many among what is a majority of people in America who say they care deeply about climate change reflected this was only the latest setback to Biden’s early promises to slash emissions.
A narrowly divided Congress already handed Biden what’s been the worst climate defeat of his term so far when two Democrats, including coal-state lawmaker Joe Manchin, joined Senate Republicans in refusing to pass Biden’s Build Back Better package.
Climate parts of the legislation were meant to kickstart America’s transformation into a land of electric cars, clean industry and energy-efficient buildings. Biden was able to move forward some smaller parts of his proposal, including electric car chargers.
And this year, in a development as dangerous for Biden’s early climate hopes as the Supreme Court ruling, a global oil and gas supply crunch has sent gas prices pinging off record highs. It’s fueled inflation and voter anger against Biden, and potentially other Democrats.
The energy shortfall left Biden scrambling for additional oil and gas. It’s also left it unclear whether he still feels he has the political capital to lead the U.S. move to renewable energy as decisively as he promised as a candidate and in his first months in office.
The ruling left policy experts, lawmakers and ordinary people saying Biden, Democrats and climate-minded Republicans still have some routes left to push through climate efforts.
One is ambitious, shrewd executive action — if Biden dares — to push through carefully targeted emission-cutting steps.
A second is climate action by California and the other blue states that earlier swung into action to challenge Trump’s climate rollbacks in court.
A third option is a pitch that Biden and Democrats are throwing to voters more and more — elect enough Democrats in the midterms to allow Congress to pass laws thwarting rollbacks by conservatives, in Congress and on the Supreme Court.
Biden has pledged to cut the nation’s greenhouse gas emissions in half by the end of the decade and to have an emissions-free power sector by 2035.
Biden offered no guarantees of success in his comments after the court ruling.
“While this decision risks damaging our nation’s ability to keep our air clean and combat climate change, I will not relent in using my lawful authorities to protect public health and tackle the climate crisis,” he said in a statement.
His team would “find ways that we can, under federal law, continue protecting Americans” from pollution and climate change, he said.
The Biden administration can still do a strong rule on carbon emissions and greenhouse gas emissions generally, and it ought to do it fast, said Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, a Rhode Island Democrat.
As it is, “there’s no easy fix from Congress from this mess,” Whitehouse said, blaming past court rulings on political donations for “the big, dark polluter money” he said holds sway in politics now.
The Supreme Court ruling came as Biden was savoring a successful gathering with NATO allies, who have rallied behind the U.S. in confronting Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. After Biden’s early proclamations in summits at the outset of his term that “America is back!,” the setback in the Supreme Court underscored to allies how vulnerable the U.S. president remains on the domestic front, including when it comes to fulfilling climate commitments.
As the ruling was released, Biden envoy John Kerry was flying out after an oceans conference in Portugal, still working for global and country-by-country commitments to cut emissions.
The domestic climate setbacks have helped slow early global momentum for climate breakthroughs. They’ve weakened U.S. leverage as Kerry presses countries including China to swing away from coal and other damaging fossil fuels — something Biden had pledged the U.S. would lead on by example.
Among allies abroad, the Supreme Court ruling could shock America’s transatlantic partners like few other developments, said Max Bergmann, director of the Europe program at the Center for Strategic and International studies.
The climate decision in some ways “may have broader impacts at least on the European populace that this is a country that, A: can’t get things done and B: is going in a really bizarre direction domestically,” Bergmann said.

MIAMI (AP) — 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.”

President Biden lying about codifying Roe v Wade, being 'heartless' toward unborn: Sen Mike Lee
The GOP senator also reacts to Biden's attacks on the Supreme Court
Sen. Mike Lee lambasted President Biden, saying he was deceitful about the Left's true intentions for Roe v. Wade and being "entirely heartless toward the unborn" Thursday on "The Ingraham Angle."
MIKE LEE: First of all, the fact that he would go while on foreign soil and attack the Supreme Court of the United States to undermine it, and to delegitimize it is unpatriotic. I've never seen anything quite like it. Secondly, insofar as he's suggesting that they need to codify Roe, he's lying there.
BIDEN TO SUPPORT ENDING FILIBUSTER TO PROTECT ABORTION ACCESS
They don't merely want to codify Roe. What they want to do is pass a bill that would in addition to codifying Roe, it would take the protections of Roe all the way up until the moment a child takes its first breath so that no state anywhere could impose any kind of legal restrictions, any kind of protections for unborn human beings. So he managed to be at once entirely heartless toward the unborn; entirely in conflict with his own prior decisions, his own prior statements about abortion, while as a U.S. senator and otherwise; and managed to disrespect one of the great institutions of our system.

Navy report: Multiple errors poisoned Pearl Harbor water
PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii (AP) — A Navy investigation released Thursday revealed that shoddy management and human error caused fuel to leak into Pearl Harbor’s tap water last year, poisoning thousands of people and forcing military families to evacuate their homes for hotels.
The investigation is the first detailed account of how jet fuel from the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility, a massive World War II-era military-run tank farm in the hills above Pearl Harbor, leaked into a well that supplied water to housing and offices in and around the sprawling base. Some 6,000 people suffered nausea, headaches, rashes and other symptoms.
After months of resistance, the military in April agreed to an order from the state of Hawaii to drain the tanks and close the Red Hill facility. A separate report the Defense Department provided to the state Department of Health on Thursday said December 2024 was the earliest it could defuel the tanks safely.
The investigation report listed a cascading series of mistakes from May 6, 2021, when operator error caused a pipe to rupture and 21,000 gallons (80,000 liters) of fuel to spill when fuel was being transferred between tanks. Most of this fuel spilled into a fire suppression line and sat there for six months, causing the line to sag. A cart rammed into this sagging line on Nov. 20, releasing 20,000 gallons (75,700 liters) of fuel.
The area where the cart hit the line isn’t supposed to have fuel, and so the officials who responded to the spill didn’t have the right equipment to capture the liquid.
“The team incorrectly assumes that all of the fuel has been sopped up,” Adm. Sam Paparo, the commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, told reporters at a news conference. About 5,000 gallons (19,000 liters) wasn’t recovered.
“Meanwhile, over the course of eight days, that fuel enters into this French drain that is under the concrete and seeps slowly and quietly into the Red Hill well. And that fuel into the Red Hill well is then pumped into the Navy system,” Paparo said.
Red Hill officials thought that only 1,618 gallons (6,125 liters) had leaked in the May spill and that they recovered all but 38 gallons (144 liters). They noticed that one of the tanks was short 20,000 gallons (75,700 liters) but believed it had flowed through the pipes and didn’t realize it had flown into the fire suppression line. They didn’t report the discrepancy to senior leadership.
After the November spill when people started getting sick, the military moved about 4,000 mostly military families into hotels for months while they waited for their water to be safe again.
The spill contaminated the Navy’s water system. Fuel didn’t get into the Honolulu municipal water supply. But concerns the oil might migrate through the aquifer and get into the city’s wells prompted the Honolulu Board of Water Supply in December to shut down a key well serving some 400,000 people. The agency has been asking residents to conserve water because of this and unusually dry weather.
The report said officials defaulted to assuming the best about what was happening when the spills occurred, instead of assuming the worst, and this contributed to their overlooking the severity of situation.
Paparo said the Navy was trying to move away from that. He called it an ongoing process “to get real with ourselves” and “being honest about our deficiencies.”
He recommended that the Navy review operations at 48 defense fuel storage facilities worldwide.
“We cannot assume Red Hill represents an outlier, and similar problems may exist at other locations,” Paparo wrote in the report.
The vice chief of naval operations has assigned the head of U.S. Fleet Forces Command, a four-star admiral, to determine disciplinary measures for those in uniform. Recommendations regarding civilian employees will be sent to their supervisors, Paparo said.
The report said the investigation revealed that poor training and supervision, ineffective leadership and an absence of ownership regarding operational safety also contributed to the incident.
“The lack of critical thinking, intellectual rigor, and self-assessment by key leaders at decisive moments exemplified a culture of complacency and demonstrated a lack of professionalism that is demanded by the high consequence nature of fuel operations,” the report said.
In particular, the investigation highlighted a February 2021 decision by the commanding officer of Fleet Logistics Center Pearl Harbor to remove uniformed military oversight from day-to-day operations at Red Hill. The report said this significantly increased the risks of fuel handling operations.
It also noted key leaders at the scene of the November 2021 spill failed to exercise a sense of urgency, critical thinking, forceful backup and timely and effective communication demanded “by the seriousness of the situation.”
U.S. Rep. Kaiali’i Kahele said the Navy repeatedly said Red Hill was a vital part of U.S. national defense yet it was left for decades without proper oversight. He said this shows a lack of leadership, investment and gross negligence.
“The Navy’s report states that the fuel leaks at Red Hill on May and November 2021 were preventable. This is shocking and deeply concerning,” Kahele, a Democrat from Hawaii, said in a statement.
David Henkin, an attorney for Earthjustice, which has been filing legal challenges against the facility, said the Navy has failed to learn from its mistakes.
“Rather than act swiftly to remove the more than 100 million gallons of toxic fuel that remain perched over Oahu’s sole source aquifer, the Navy proposes to take another two and a half years — until the end of 2024 — to defuel the Red Hill tanks,” he said. “That is completely unacceptable.”

Texas educator group proposes referring to slavery as “involuntary relocation”
**NOTE: The headline to the original article was shortened for length**
A group of Texas educators have proposed to the Texas State Board of Education that slavery should be taught as "involuntary relocation" during second-grade social studies instruction.
The group of nine educators, including a professor at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, is one of many such groups advising the state education board to make curriculum change requests. This summer, the board will consider updates to social studies instruction a year after lawmakers passed a law to keep topics that make students "feel discomfort" out of Texas classrooms.
The SBOE found out about the suggested change in terms late during its June 15 meeting that lasted more than 12 hours. Board member Aicha Davis, a Democrat who represents Dallas and Fort Worth, brought up concerns to the board saying that it wasn’t a "fair representation" of the slave trade.
"I can’t say what their intention was, but that’s not going to be acceptable," Davis told The Texas Tribune on Thursday.
Part of the proposed draft standards that were obtained by The Texas Tribune say that students should "compare journeys to America, including voluntary Irish immigration and involuntary relocation of African people during colonial times."
Texas is in the middle of developing a new curriculum for social studies, a process that happens about every decade to update what children should be learning in Texas’ 8,866 public schools.
This process comes as the state’s public education system has become heavily politicized, from lawmakers passing legislation on how race and slavery should be taught in schools to conservative political action committees pouring huge amounts of money to put more conservatives on school boards that promise to get rid of curriculum and programs they deem are divisive and make white children feel bad.
Crafting these new standards are Texans themselves. The Texas Education Agency forms work groups that present their drafts on new curriculum to the state board and board members have the final say on whether to accept or reject them.
Some drafts of new curriculum standards are published on the agency’s website, but this was not, Davis said.
"I don’t like it because it’s a personal belief. I don’t like it because it’s not rooted in truth," she said. "We can have all the discussions we want, but we have to adopt the truth for our students."

SEOUL – North Korea suggested Friday its COVID-19 outbreak began in people who had contact with balloons flown from South Korea — a highly questionable claim that appeared to be an attempt to hold its rival responsible amid increasing tensions.
Activists for years have flown balloons across the border to distribute hundreds of thousands of propaganda leaflets critical of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, and North Korea has often expressed fury at the activists and at South Korea’s leadership for not stopping them.
Global health authorities say the coronavirus is spread by people in close contact who inhale airborne droplets and it’s more likely to occur in enclosed, poorly ventilated spaces than outdoors. South Korea’s Unification Ministry said there was no chance South Korean balloons might have spread the virus to North Korea.
Ties between the Koreas remain strained amid a long-running stalemate in U.S.-led diplomacy on persuading North Korea to abandon its nuclear ambitions in return for economic and political benefits.
The state media report said North Korea's epidemic prevention center had found infection clusters in the town of Ipho near the southeastern border and that some Ipho residents with feverish symptoms traveled to Pyongyang. The center said an 18-year-old soldier and a 5-year kindergartener had contact with "alien things” in the town in early April and later tested positive for the omicron variant.
In what it called “an emergency instruction,” the epidemic prevention center ordered officials to “to vigilantly deal with alien things coming by wind and other climate phenomena and balloons” along the border and trace their sources to the last. It also stressed that anyone finding “alien things” must notify authorities immediately so they could be removed.
The reports did not specify what the “alien things” were. But laying the blame on things flown across the border likely is a way to repeat its objections to the ballooning activities of North Korean defectors and activists in South Korea.
Leafletting campaigns were largely halted after South Korea's previous liberal government passed a law criminalizing them, and there were no public balloon attempts made in early April.
An activist who is standing trial for past activities flew balloons carrying propaganda leaflets across the border in late April after halting them for a year. Park Sang-hak floated balloons twice in June, switching the cargo on those attempts to COVID-19 relief items such as masks and painkillers.
Police are still investigating the recent leafleting activities by the activist, Cha Duck Chul, a deputy spokesperson at the South’s Unification Ministry, told reporters Friday.
Cha also said the consensus among South Korean health officials and World Health Organization experts is that infections via contact with the virus on the surface of materials is virtually impossible.
Analyst Cheong Seong-Chang at South Korea’s Sejong Institute said North Korea wants its people to believe the coronavirus originated from leaflets, U.S. dollars or other materials carried across the border by the balloons.
Cheong said North Korea will likely sternly punish anyone taking such South Korean items covertly. He said North Korea could also try to shoot down incoming South Korean balloons, a move that would prompt South Korea to return fire and would sharply escalate animosities between the countries.
North Korea is infuriated by the leafletting campaign because it’s designed to undermine Kim’s authoritarian rule over a population that has little access to outside information. In 2014, North Korea fired at propaganda balloons flying toward its territory and South Korea returned fire, though there were no casualties.
Laying blame on objects flown across the inter-Korean border contradicts the outside view that the virus spread after North Korea briefly reopened its northern border with China to freight traffic in January and it surged further following a military parade and other events in Pyongyang in April.
After maintaining a widely disputed claim to be coronavirus-free for more than two years, North Korea on May 12 admitted to the COVID-19 outbreak, saying an unspecified number of people in Pyongyang tested positive for the omicron variant.
North Korea has since reported about 4.7 million fever cases out of its 26 million population but only identified a fraction of them as COVID-19. It says 73 people have died, an extremely low fatality rate. Both figures are believed to be manipulated by North Korea to keep its people vigilant against the virus and prevent any political damage to Kim.

SAN ANTONIO — Undocumented survivors discovered in a sweltering tractor-trailer in San Antonio Monday could legally remain in the United States with special visas.
The Department of Homeland Security sometimes grants trafficking victims certain protections. Those people must apply for a so-called ‘T’ or ‘U’ visa and agree to help investigators prosecute their smugglers.
In order to qualify for these temporary visas, “the victim must prove to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services that he or she cooperated with law enforcement,” according to a DHS memo.
Immigration attorney Sara Ramey says the government may also offer T visas to applicants who’ve experienced trauma because of a smuggler, even if they cannot testify against the criminal.
“If a young child, for example, is a victim of human trafficking and they’re not able to testify, that’s not going to… preclude them from applying for a T visa,” she said.
Ramey is executive director for the Migrant Center for Human Rights. She said she’s helped immigrants apply for “dozens” of T and U visas.
She noted the federal government can also offer the rare ‘S’ visas to some undocumented witnesses who help identify smugglers.
“Often, (victims) are crucial in the process of bringing the perpetrator to justice,” Ramey added.
But some undocumented immigrants are hesitant to cooperate with law enforcement officials, the DHS memo explains. Special visas can encourage those immigrants to trust investigators, officials say.
“There’s never really a case where you have someone who doesn’t want to help law enforcement,” Ramey explained. “That said, I do see a lot of hesitation about talking to law enforcement because there is this fear that law enforcement might take the side of their abuser.”
She added that some immigrants naturally distrust authorities, since they may come from countries with corrupt officials who are easily-bribed. She also said that, in order to extort silence, traffickers often threaten to report their victims to immigration authorities.
Ramey called for DHS to extend other protections to the survivors found Monday, including mental health services and legal services. She said she hopes immigration officials will show compassion.
“This is a perfgect case where the government should be exercising its prosecutorial discretion,” she said. | https://www.kens5.com/article/news/special-reports/at-the-border/migrants-who-survived-journey-in-hot-trailer-could-be-granted-special-visas/273-448630c2-82f8-41fe-a74a-11fcc271d988 | 2022-07-01T05:54:43Z | https://www.kens5.com/article/news/special-reports/at-the-border/migrants-who-survived-journey-in-hot-trailer-could-be-granted-special-visas/273-448630c2-82f8-41fe-a74a-11fcc271d988 | false |
RACHEL MARTIN, HOST:
President Biden is heading home from a week in Europe, where he's made progress strengthening NATO as it works to deter Russia. But the president acknowledges there are big problems to confront here at home - on inflation, high gas prices and abortion rights. This is what he said at a press conference in Madrid this morning.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: The one thing that has been destabilizing is the outrageous behavior of the Supreme Court of the United States and overruling not only Roe v. Wade but essentially challenging the right to privacy.
MARTIN: NPR White House correspondent Scott Detrow is covering this and joins me now. Hey, Scott.
SCOTT DETROW, BYLINE: Morning, Rachel.
MARTIN: So supporters of abortion rights have been frustrated with the president that he hasn't been more vocal after the court's decision to overturn federal protections for abortion rights. Did he give any more clarity on what his next move is?
DETROW: Not really. And you're right. So far, the White House has been vague on what executive actions it will take. Biden said he'll be providing more details tomorrow when he's back at the White House, and he's meeting with governors to talk about this. He kept sticking to that message we've heard for the last week, that the fix for this, according to Biden, is getting Congress to codify abortion rights and that voters need to expand Democratic majorities to make that happen.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
BIDEN: If you care, if the polling data is correct and you think this decision by the court was an outrage or a significant mistake, vote. Show up and vote. Vote in the off year. And vote, vote, vote. That's how we'll change it.
DETROW: And as we've covered, this has really frustrated a lot of Democratic voters. There are Democratic majorities in the House and Senate right now, and this right got taken away. Biden did make some news today, saying that he would support carving out an exception to the filibuster to pass laws guaranteeing abortion rights, as well as laws guaranteeing other rights based on privacy that could now be in danger. But remember; that's exactly what he called for earlier this year when it came to voting rights. He urged the Senate to take a vote to carve out an exemption to the filibuster. The Senate did that. The vote failed. The filibuster remains in place.
MARTIN: So let's pivot a bit because the president was speaking at the end of this NATO summit. He and others have called it historic. Is that a correct characterization?
DETROW: Yeah, I think that is a fair way to put it. NATO cleared the way for two new members to join - Sweden and Finland. And at the same time, the U.S. and other NATO countries agreed to a larger and more aggressive military presence in Europe in order to deter Russia from attacking other countries. And Biden pointed out again that Vladimir Putin has now unwittingly given a new focus and urgency to NATO.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
BIDEN: He's getting exactly what he did not want. He wanted the Finlandization of NATO; he got the NATO-ization (ph) of Finland. Think about this. That's what he thought. Now NATO and Sweden are closer than ever.
DETROW: And just to briefly explain what Biden meant - that term Finlandization was Cold War foreign policy, shorthand for Finland's neutral policies. So Biden's pointing out here that by invading Ukraine, Putin has now created a situation where a large country bordering Russia has decided it wants to join NATO, and that effectively doubles the NATO border with Russia.
MARTIN: So he's got these successes in this summit abroad, but, I mean, as we noted, it's not just the overturning of abortion rights; the president keeps facing these huge economic challenges.
DETROW: Yeah.
MARTIN: I mean, inflation is a real problem for him.
DETROW: Yeah. And one thing that he acknowledged was that some of the big factors in Europe are not going away anytime soon. The war is going to continue. That means Russian oil will stay off the markets. And as he pointed out, that means a lot of grain will remain trapped in Ukraine, and that adds to scarcity problems around the world.
MARTIN: NPR White House correspondent Scott Detrow. Thank you.
DETROW: Sure thing. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR. | https://www.wvpublic.org/2022-06-30/biden-weighs-in-on-what-was-accomplished-at-the-nato-summit | 2022-07-01T06:01:54Z | https://www.wvpublic.org/2022-06-30/biden-weighs-in-on-what-was-accomplished-at-the-nato-summit | false |
LIV Golf rebels ask DPA World Tour to rescind their sanctions against them by 5pm TODAY as they threaten to take legal action... after those involved in the inaugural event were each fined £100,000 and banned from the Genesis Scottish Open
- Sixteen players have threatened the DP World Tour with legal action
- They were each fined £100,000 for taking part in the first Liv Golf event
- Players have asked foe fines and suspensions to be rescinded by 5pm today
- Players involved were also banned from competing at three separate events
- The Telegraph report Ian Poulter and Lee Westwood are among the 16 players
Sixteen players have threatened the DP World Tour with legal action unless their sanctions for competing in the first LIV Golf event are rescinded.
DP World Tour members, including Ian Poulter and Lee Westwood, were each fined £100,000 and banned from next week's Genesis Scottish Open and two other events co-sanctioned with the PGA Tour after playing at Centurion Club earlier this month, despite being refused permission.
In an open letter published by The Telegraph, the players 'implore' the DP World Tour to reconsider the penalties and claim the strengthened partnership between the PGA Tour and DP World Tour leaves the latter playing 'second fiddle' to the US-based circuit.
It read: 'In Mr Pelley's latest communication, he uses the statement that every action in life comes with a consequence.
'We agree, and we are concerned that the actions of the Tour against us, LIV Golf and golf in general will have adverse consequences on the DP World Tour, a tour and an organisation that, despite our recent interactions, we care deeply for.
Lee Westwood and Ian Poulter are among 16 golfers who have threatened legal action against the DP World Tour unless their sanctions for competing in the first Liv Golf event are rescinded
'The intention of this letter is not to further divide us, but to respond to Tour statements and to pose questions that the Tour should answer and we should discuss in detail.
'Instead of spending our time, energy, financial resources and focus on appeals, injunctions, and lawsuits, we would implore you, the custodians of the DP World Tour, to reconsider your recent penalties and sanctions, and instead focus our energies on forging a path forward that is better for the DP World Tour members and the game of golf.
'To this end, we ask that you rescind your fines and suspensions by 5pm on Friday, July 1, 2022.

'In addition, we represent over 5 percent of the DP World Tour membership and, under its articles of association, we ask you to convene a meeting of Tour membership to discuss these important matters further.
'If not, you will leave us with no choice but to employ the various other means and methods at our disposal to rectify these wrongs.'
A spokesperson for the DP World Tour confirmed to the PA news agency that the letter had been received and said an official response would be released on Friday. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-10972161/LIV-Golf-rebels-threaten-legal-action-against-DP-World-Tour-unless-sanctions-rescinded.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-07-01T06:01:55Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-10972161/LIV-Golf-rebels-threaten-legal-action-against-DP-World-Tour-unless-sanctions-rescinded.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true |

The performance comes after Nick and Alyssa Scott paid tribute to their late son Zen on the day that would have marked his first birthday.
A week earlier, the television personality and the model hosted a lighting ceremony and announced the founding of a pediatric cancer foundation named after the infant, who tragically passed away at just five months old from brain cancer last December.
'June 23rd will forever be a day of celebration,' Nick and Alyssa wrote in the caption of their joint Instagram post.

Tribute: On Thursday night, the television personality and the model hosted a lighting ceremony and announced the founding of a pediatric cancer foundation named after the infant, who tragically passed away at just five months old from brain cancer last December.
They continued, 'A beautiful lighting ceremony to honor the life of an Angel. Zen’s birth has now transformed into “Zen’s Light”.
'We are proud to announce his new foundation that will help so many others in this world. “Zen’s Light” mission is to foster global excellence in hope, grief-care, and pediatric healthcare for families and children in need.

In the caption of her post, Alyssa wrote, 'I woke up inspired by how beautifully interconnected we all are through our experiences.
'Yesterday was a much needed reminder that we are never alone on this journey. I was especially touched by the strength of CJ Matthew’s who at the time was only 5 when he lost his sibling.
'Even at his young age it was put on his heart to comfort families by creating @blankies4buddies.'
Solidarity: Alyssa and Nick were seen smiling as they posed with guests in a group shot in front of a table, on which block letters that spelled out Zen's name had been placed

'I know it’s my calling to walk in my purpose with Zens light. I have so much gratitude and admiration for everyone who attended our celebration for Zens birthday. Thank you to our family, and also to my social media family who extended your thoughts and well wishes!!'
Ahead of the event on Thursday night, Alyssa posted a video featuring sweet moments with Zen, including a brief appearance by Nick.
Missing him: Nick was briefly featured in a video that Alyssa Scott posted to Instagram on Thursday to celebrate what would have been their late son Zion's first birthday
'Happy heavenly birthday Zen. At the root of all the emotions I have today there is insurmountable love,' Alyssa captioned her heartbreaking video.
'I always try my best to remain positive but right now I can’t help but cry out "it's not suppose to be like this." In my mind I can see him smashing his cake and crawling around, tugging at my legs,' she continued. 'But the reality is I will be the one to blow out his first candle. I will be wishing he was still here with us. GO REST HIGH.'
The somber video, which was soundtracked with Vince Gill singing Go Rest High On That Mountain, opened with Zen shortly after being born as Alyssa cradled him in her arms while he slept.
Her daughter from a previous relationship sweetly patted the little boy on his head as he snoozed peacefully in his crib once he arrived at home.

Siblings: Her daughter from a previous relationship sweetly patted the little boy on his head as he snoozed peacefully in his crib once he arrived at home
Another clip showed him smiling adorably in a Mickey Mouse onesie from the Disneyland Resort.
Alyssa also highlighted her maternal bond with her child as she paced back and forth with him in her arms during a day at the beach.
Although he may have filmed some of the footage, Nick was only featured once in the video in a brief clip showing him letting a tired Zen sleep against his chest.
Alyssa and Nick welcomed Zen in late June 2021, just days after he also welcomed his twins Zion and Zillion with Abby De La Rosa.
But on December 7, the Drumline star opened his former talk show with a heartbreaking announcement that his son had died two days earlier.
'Over the weekend, I lost my youngest son to a condition called hydrocephalus that is pretty much a malignant, midline brain tumor — brain cancer,' he said. Although the tumor appeared to cause the hydrocephalus, the condition occurs when fluid builds up on the brain, creating pressure that can become deadly.
Too cute: Another clip showed him smiling adorably in a Mickey Mouse onesie from the Disneyland Resort
Mother and child: Alyssa also highlighted her maternal bond with her child as she paced back and forth with him in her arms during a day at the beach
Cannon continued, saying he learned of his son's health condition when he took him to the doctor.
He wanted to get a check up because Zen had 'real interesting breathing,' and a 'nice-sized head, too,' which he joked was a 'Cannon head.'
Once he was diagnoses, Zen underwent surgery to drain the fluid around his brain, but Nick said his condition began to deteriorate rapidly around Thanksgiving, and he died early in December.
As he teared up and his voice cracked with emotion, the actor described his final moments with Zen, when he canceled his plans to be with the little boy.
'I was preparing my day as it normally went. I didn’t know what it was going to be. But even by the time I got in the car headed for the airport, I had to turn around,' he said. 'I turned around and not only did we get to see the sunrise, but we got to see the sunset, too.'
Terrible news: Alyssa and Nick welcomed Zen in late June 2021, just days after he also welcomed twins with Abby De La Rosa, but he announced on December 7 that Zen had died two days earlier from hydrocephalus brought on by a brain tumor
Last moments: He changed his plans to spend a last day with Zen: 'By the time I got in the car headed for the airport, I had to turn around,' he said. 'I turned around and not only did we get to see the sunrise, but we got to see the sunset, too'; seen in October 2021
Cannon was criticized by some fans when he announced in January that he was having his eighth child with Bre Tiesi, just over a month after Zen's death.
Alyssa alluded to the poorly timed news in an Instagram post in which she wrote that she was 'centered' and 'at peace' following the death of her son.

WASHINGTON (AP) — More than 500 days into his presidency, Joe Biden’s hope for saving the Earth from the most devastating effects of climate change may not be dead.
But it’s not far from it.
A Supreme Court ruling Thursday not only limited the Environmental Protection Agency’s ability to regulate climate pollution by power plants, but also suggests the court is poised to block other efforts by Biden and federal agencies to limit the climate-wrecking fumes emitted by oil, gas and coal.
It’s a blow to Biden’s commitment to slash emissions in the few years scientists say are left to stave off worse and deadlier levels of global warming. And it’s a sign, to Democrats at home and allies abroad, of the dwindling options remaining for Biden to reverse the legacy of President Donald Trump, who mocked the science of climate change. Trump’s three Supreme Court appointees provided half of the affirmative votes in Thursday’s 6-3 ruling.
After the ruling, a veteran Democratic lawmaker acknowledged he saw no hope of Congress producing any meaningful climate legislation, either. The foreign allies whom Biden once spoke of leading to a global clean-power transformation are wondering if the United States can even lead itself.
And in a Houston neighborhood entering hurricane season, a man who had spent four decades advocating for the Black communities and other communities of color and poorer communities hit hardest by pollution and the record heat, cold, floods and storms of climate change reacted to the ruling like many others did Thursday — saying it was all up to Biden now to act – and act in a big way.
“This is real,” said Robert Bullard, an academic who became a pioneer in what became the U.S. environmental justice movement, of the multiplying natural disasters – the kind scientists say are increasingly influenced by the heating atmosphere — wrecking cities on America’s vulnerable Gulf of Mexico.
“Those communities that have been flooded out…some of those communities still have blue tarps on their houses,” Bullard said. “So I don’t think the Supreme Court and and some of our elected officials are speaking about the urgency of where we are when it comes to our climate.”
The dismay at the ruling expressed by many among what is a majority of people in America who say they care deeply about climate change reflected this was only the latest setback to Biden’s early promises to slash emissions.
A narrowly divided Congress already handed Biden what’s been the worst climate defeat of his term so far when two Democrats, including coal-state lawmaker Joe Manchin, joined Senate Republicans in refusing to pass Biden’s Build Back Better package.
Climate parts of the legislation were meant to kickstart America’s transformation into a land of electric cars, clean industry and energy-efficient buildings. Biden was able to move forward some smaller parts of his proposal, including electric car chargers.
And this year, in a development as dangerous for Biden’s early climate hopes as the Supreme Court ruling, a global oil and gas supply crunch has sent gas prices pinging off record highs. It’s fueled inflation and voter anger against Biden, and potentially other Democrats.
The energy shortfall left Biden scrambling for additional oil and gas. It’s also left it unclear whether he still feels he has the political capital to lead the U.S. move to renewable energy as decisively as he promised as a candidate and in his first months in office.
The ruling left policy experts, lawmakers and ordinary people saying Biden, Democrats and climate-minded Republicans still have some routes left to push through climate efforts.
One is ambitious, shrewd executive action — if Biden dares — to push through carefully targeted emission-cutting steps.
A second is climate action by California and the other blue states that earlier swung into action to challenge Trump’s climate rollbacks in court.
A third option is a pitch that Biden and Democrats are throwing to voters more and more — elect enough Democrats in the midterms to allow Congress to pass laws thwarting rollbacks by conservatives, in Congress and on the Supreme Court.
Biden has pledged to cut the nation’s greenhouse gas emissions in half by the end of the decade and to have an emissions-free power sector by 2035.
Biden offered no guarantees of success in his comments after the court ruling.
“While this decision risks damaging our nation’s ability to keep our air clean and combat climate change, I will not relent in using my lawful authorities to protect public health and tackle the climate crisis,” he said in a statement.
His team would “find ways that we can, under federal law, continue protecting Americans” from pollution and climate change, he said.
The Biden administration can still do a strong rule on carbon emissions and greenhouse gas emissions generally, and it ought to do it fast, said Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, a Rhode Island Democrat.
As it is, “there’s no easy fix from Congress from this mess,” Whitehouse said, blaming past court rulings on political donations for “the big, dark polluter money” he said holds sway in politics now.
The Supreme Court ruling came as Biden was savoring a successful gathering with NATO allies, who have rallied behind the U.S. in confronting Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. After Biden’s early proclamations in summits at the outset of his term that “America is back!,” the setback in the Supreme Court underscored to allies how vulnerable the U.S. president remains on the domestic front, including when it comes to fulfilling climate commitments.
As the ruling was released, Biden envoy John Kerry was flying out after an oceans conference in Portugal, still working for global and country-by-country commitments to cut emissions.
The domestic climate setbacks have helped slow early global momentum for climate breakthroughs. They’ve weakened U.S. leverage as Kerry presses countries including China to swing away from coal and other damaging fossil fuels — something Biden had pledged the U.S. would lead on by example.
Among allies abroad, the Supreme Court ruling could shock America’s transatlantic partners like few other developments, said Max Bergmann, director of the Europe program at the Center for Strategic and International studies.
The climate decision in some ways “may have broader impacts at least on the European populace that this is a country that, A: can’t get things done and B: is going in a really bizarre direction domestically,” Bergmann said.

Cleethorpes is booming with more visitors and multi-million investment plans.
Owners of Thorpe Park holiday centre, Haven Holidays have revealed plans for a new £7million indoor arena. It will create scores of jobs with the holiday park's own production company performing shows, as well as attracting big stage names.
It is part of an impressive £11.8 million investment across the park over a two-year period. The new highly anticipated Adventure Village, opened yesterday will bring a new dimension to holidaymakers and owners looking for adrenalin-fuelled activities.

Now Haven bosses are staging their biggest investment in Cleethorpes with a new indoor Marina Showbar arena with a seated capacity of 1,250. It will have specialist LED lighting systems, as seen in major auditoriums around the country and a large stage. It will have a decking area outside.
Haven operations director, Nick Walker told Grimsby Live there are 1,700 holiday homes at Thorpe Park with expansion plans for 51 more. He said the new arena will have external acts coming to do shows as well as the in-house production team putting on performances and giving local talent a showcase.
"It is an exciting time in the industry. Cleethorpes is booming. People are holidaying in the UK like never before," he said. The restrictions during the Covid-19 pandemic had given people the chance to explore more holiday destinations at home. Difficulties at airports, with long delays, were also turning people off going abroad and on to places like Cleethorpes.
"People are reacquainting themselves with British seaside resorts. With more people coming to Thorpe Park it is also having a benefit for the whole resort of Cleethorpes," said the director, who looks after 12 parks throughout Lincolnshire, Yorkshire and Scotland.
Thorpe Park activities director, Matt Batey said the investment will also support The Marina Bar and Stage, a new state-of-the-art entertainment area with attractive luminous lighting and digital screens, which will serve as another exciting and modern area for families to eat, drink and relax while on holiday.
"It is wonderful to be back again in the hospitality industry and seeing it taking off. Finally we are seeing people taking breaks and wanting to enjoy our lovely English countryside and what better way than with a Haven holiday?" said Matt.
He added: "People are looking for value for money and coming to our coastline and we are pleased they are booking holidays with us."
He said the investment will provide many opportunities for people aiming to begin careers in the hospitality industry. He formerly worked in Dubai for six years before the pandemic caused a change in his career. He showed off all the new facilities at Thorpe Park with the chance to climb across the multi-directorial Aerial Adventure Max course, which is now joined by a mini version for young but mighty daredevils.
The course is spread across two challenging levels for the ultimate sky-high experience and is the first two-storey Aerial Adventure Max to be launched at Haven. Another addition includes The Jump, which is over eight-metres high, offering courageous guests a thrill-seeking experience by freefalling from two different height platforms onto a massive airbag. The popular Crazy Golf course has been revamped with challenging holes designed to get the whole family involved in a competitive head-to-head game.

U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont has broken a hip in a fall at his home and was to undergo surgery to repair it, his office said Thursday.
The 82-year-old Democrat fell Wednesday night in McLean, Virginia, the statement said. Doctors determined the best course of action would be to have surgery to repair the hip as soon as possible.
Leahy was born blind in one eye.
“The senator has had a lifelong struggle with reduced depth perception,” the statement said. “He has taken some remarkable dingers over the years, but this one finally caught up with him.”
Leahy was “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. By the time his term expires in January 2023, he will have served for 48 years in the Senate.
Leahy was taken to the hospital in January 2021, hours after he had begun presiding over the second impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump. Leahy had not been feeling well and was taken there out of an abundance of caution. After being examined, he was sent home.
Leahy is the last of the so-called Watergate babies, the surge of congressional Democrats elected in 1974 after President Richard Nixon resigned to avoid impeachment. | https://wgntv.com/politics-3/ap-politics/vermont-u-s-sen-patrick-leahy-breaks-hip-to-have-surgery/ | 2022-07-01T06:50:02Z | https://wgntv.com/politics-3/ap-politics/vermont-u-s-sen-patrick-leahy-breaks-hip-to-have-surgery/ | false |
Which infrared therapy lamps are best?
Infrared therapy lamps can help treat wounds, pain and other health problems and can be an excellent addition to your pain management technique. These lamps use light to penetrate through your skin layers to impact your bones, tissues and cells and help decrease inflammation, relieve pain and assist with the healing process.
Ensure you understand the best features to look for in an infrared therapy lamp, as well as the best lamp options on the market before you make a purchase. If you’re looking for the top infrared therapy lamp out there, it’s the Beurer IL50 Infrared Heat Lamp.
What to know before you buy an infrared therapy lamp
There are several factors to consider when purchasing an infrared therapy lamp, such as what you plan to use it for, the wavelength and the type.
Use for
Most people use infrared therapy lamps to treat neuropathy pain, muscle pain, joint pain or pain connected to injury, as well as conditions like tendinitis, lower back pain, neck pain, knee pain, fibromyalgia, arthritis and several other chronic pain conditions. These lamps can also effectively smooth wrinkles and fine lines, decrease the appearance of scars, repair sun damage and treat slow-healing wounds.
Wavelength
You should also think about the wavelength of light that the lamp produces. At-home infrared therapy lamps usually provide wavelengths between 600 and 1,400 nanometers.
Type
There are four types of infrared therapy lamps: tripod lamps, light panel lamps, desk lamps and handheld lamps. Tripod lamps have wheels on the bottom for moving the item around your home, while light panel lamps have big rectangular or square panels that emit light. Desk lamps are small tabletop models, and handheld lamps have a similar design as flashlights.
What to look for in a quality infrared therapy lamp
Size
Consider the overall size of the infrared therapy lamp you want, since you need to have space in your home to store it and use it. Tripod infrared therapy lamps are usually the biggest and have a similar size to standard floor lamps. Light panels are also fairly large, but they can fit on most tabletops. Desk infrared therapy lamps are pretty small and can fit well on most desks.
Treatment area
The size of the treatment area of the infrared therapy lamp is also important because that determines how simple and effective the lamp is to use. The treatment area refers to the part of the lamp that emits light on the impacted body area that you want to relieve.
If you need to treat your back, for example, then choose an infrared therapy lamp with a bigger treatment area. The size of the treatment area isn’t as important for smaller body areas like the knees.
Timer
Many infrared therapy lamps come with timers that count down the time the heat lamp is in use. This timer helps you meet the suggested treatment time without going over it. Some lamps with timers automatically turn off after the timer counts down.
How much you can expect to spend on an infrared therapy lamp
Infrared therapy lamps range in price from $30-$350. Handheld infrared therapy lamps are usually on the lower end, while tripod models are the priciest.
Infrared therapy lamp FAQ
Does it hurt to use an infrared therapy lamp?
A. Using an infrared therapy lamp should not hurt if you’re using it properly. Keep in mind that you might see some temporary redness on your skin or feel some warmth, but you should not feel any pain. It’s important to note that some infrared therapy lamps aren’t intended for use on naked skin, so it might be uncomfortable if you allow the light of the lamp to hit your bare skin.
How long does it take to get results with an infrared therapy lamp?
A. The length of time it takes to see results typically depends on how much pain you’re experiencing and the condition you’re treating. You might see relief in as little as a few hours from a single treatment if you just have pain from a mild injury.
You might need two or three treatment sessions to feel relief if you’re treating chronic knee pain. And it could take a few months of regular infrared therapy lamp treatments before you see relief for severe pain.

'Exceptional' Roman gold coin hoard found near Norwich
By Katy Prickett
BBC News, East
- Published
A hoard of Roman gold coins hidden in the decades before the Roman invasion of Britain has been discovered.
Eleven coins have been found so far, scattered near Norwich in Iceni tribe territory. Their queen Boudica would later rebel against Roman rule.
Numismatist Adrian Marsden said the hoard is "really quite exceptional" and more coins might be unearthed.
A full inquest by Norfolk Coroner's Court into the two latest finds will be held later.
The first coins were found by two metal detectorists in 2017 and they have been uncovering more ever since.
Mr Marsden, from the Norfolk Historic Environment Service, said: "In the last two or three years, they've said, 'There won't be any more,' and I've said, 'There will be,' and sure enough they pull another one out.
"Hoards get dispersed by tractors and ploughs or planting, so coins get moved about fields and can travel quite some distances."
Metal detecting and the law
- No search can begin until permission has been given by the landowner
- All finds belong to the landowner
- Any find in England, Wales and Northern Ireland that is more than 300 years old, made of gold or silver, or found with gold or silver artefacts, could be treasure under the 1996 Treasure Act
- These must be reported to the appropriate county finds liaison officer
Source: Portable Antiquities Scheme
They were struck at Lugdunum, now Lyon, in France, between the last years of the 1st Century BC and the first years of the 1st Century AD - a generation before the Roman invasion in AD43.
They are hardly worn and each has a tiny peck mark by the emperor Augustus' head, which Mr Marsden believes was done by Iceni craftsmen to check their quality.
"These are really high purity gold, whereas the Iron Age gold coins circulating at that time is quite debased - they knew good Roman gold when they saw it," he said.
Mr Marsden believes an Iceni goldsmith might have intended to use them to create gold torcs, similar to the ones found at Ken Hill at Snettisham between 1948 and 1990.
He said: "To have a hoard where the coins in it are all from or before the Roman invasion - and we have good cause to believe they are going into the ground before the Roman invasion - is really quite exceptional."
The British Museum has acquired the first nine coins and is expected to acquire the latest finds.

WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Reigning Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic famously decided not to get vaccinated against COVID-19 — which prevented him from playing at the Australian Open in January following a legal saga that ended with his deportation from that country, and, as things currently stand, will prevent him from entering the United States to compete at the U.S. Open in August.
More than two years after the pandemic began, coronavirus cases are on the rise around the world lately, due mostly to certain variants, and the health — and vaccination status — of individual athletes is once again a key issue. At Wimbledon, where the All England Club is following British government guidance that requires neither shots nor testing, three of the top 20 seeded men have withdrawn over the first four days of action because they got COVID-19, with No. 17 Roberto Bautista Agut pulling out Thursday.
That’s raised the specter of an outbreak among players at the Grand Slam tournament, where there essentially is an honor system: If you don’t feel well, you’re encouraged to get a test on your own; if you test positive, you’re encouraged to reveal that and take yourself out of the bracket.
“I won’t lie: When I have a cough or something, I get paranoid. It’s what we kind of have to learn to live with. I feel bad for people who test positive. A place like Wimbledon is definitely not where you want to have it,” said Ajla Tomljanovic, a 29-year-old from Australia who is ranked 44th and won Thursday to set up a third-round match against 2021 French Open champion Barbora Krejcikova.
“If you have symptoms or you’re feeling under the weather, it’s your responsibility. I think we all travel with home kits; at least I do. And then once you’ve tested positive, that’s where it comes in that you just say you have it,” Tomljanovic said. “Because you could have lower symptoms and try to play, but that wouldn’t be the right thing to do.”
At Roland Garros last month, Krejcikova lost her opening match in singles, then withdrew before trying to defend her doubles championship after saying she tested positive for COVID-19.
Rafael Nadal, a 22-time Grand Slam champion, said after his second-round victory Thursday that he is not doing much other than coming to the tournament site and staying at the house he is renting in the area, “not going out at all anymore.”
This is not just a tennis issue, of course. It’s something people are grappling with in all lines of work: how worried to be, when to test, whom to tell.
In sports, it’s arisen in Major League Baseball, where some players have been unable to travel for games at the Toronto Blue Jays because of Canada’s rule against allowing entry to unvaccinated foreigners — the same sort of restriction that kept Djokovic, a 35-year-old from Serbia with 20 Grand Slam titles, from participating in tournaments in California and Florida earlier this season and would stop him from going to the U.S. Open, because he says he will not get a shot against COVID-19. In the NBA, Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving appeared in only 29 of 82 regular-season games this past season, largely because of his decision not to get vaccinated.
Nearly all women and men in the top 100 of the WTA or ATP tour rankings did get vaccinated. For some, it was all about wanting to avoid getting sick.
“Pretty easy: Vaccines work. Everyone has a right to choose, but more or less, the reason we don’t die from diseases from 50 years ago is because we got vaccines,” said eighth-seeded Jessica Pegula, who is from Buffalo and won Thursday to reach Wimbledon’s third round for the first time. “Of course, it came out really fast, so, sure, there’s always that thought: ‘I hope nothing happens.’ Some people had bad experiences. But for me, I thought it was worth the risk.”
For others tennis players, it was more about ensuring they could continue to make a living.
“The ATP, similar to the NFL, the NBA, MLB, they’re kind of making you get it, in a way. They’re saying: If you don’t get it, you might not be able to play certain tournaments or in these games, and we’re going to kind of make things so miserable that you’re going to have to get it,” said Sam Querrey, an American who reached the Wimbledon semifinals in 2017. “So for me, it was a combination that I think it was good to get it, and it makes your life a lot easier from a professional standpoint.”
Some players say they respect the choice by Djokovic, who has said he got COVID-19 twice, to stick to his no-vax stance even if it hurts his ability to keep pace with Rafael Nadal, a 22-time Grand Slam champion, in the major trophy count.
“The sport needs him — needs him in the sport and at big events,” said Denis Shapovalov, a 23-year-old Canadian seeded 13th at Wimbledon who said he did not have an easy time deciding whether to get the shots himself but in the end, “I figured it was better to be safe than sorry.”
All has been back to pre-pandemic “normal” at Wimbledon this year after 2020, when the tournament was canceled altogether, and 2021, when players were in a bubble-type environment and needed to take COVID-19 tests, and stadium capacity was kept low in Week 1 and spectators were required to wear masks.
An All England Club spokesperson said COVID-19 policies are “under constant review” and pointed to updates made this week, such as increased cleaning, enhanced ventilation, making masks available to players and recommending that masks be worn on official tournament transportation.
“I didn’t even know that people were testing positive,” said Coco Gauff, the 18-year-old American who was the runner-up at Roland Garros this year, “until I saw another player wearing a mask.”
Bautista Agut wrote on Twitter on Thursday that his symptoms weren’t very bad but that withdrawing was “the best decision.”
One of his coaches, Tomàs Carbonell, said in his own social media post in Spanish: “Roberto could have tried to play the match because his symptoms aren’t bad. Out of respect to his colleagues and to the tournament, we decided not to go on court, even if the rules would have allowed it.”
Bautista Agut’s COVID-19 departure followed those of No. 8 Matteo Berrettini, the runner-up to Djokovic a year ago, on Tuesday, and of No. 14 Marin Cilic, the 2014 U.S. Open champion and 2017 Wimbledon runner-up, on Monday.
Asked after her victory Thursday what her level of concern is after the recent run of positive tests, No. 4 seed Paula Badosa replied quickly: “Zero.”
That, the 24-year-old who represents Spain explained, is both because she is vaccinated and already came down with, as she put it with a laugh, every “type of COVID possible.”

Oil futures fell on Thursday to tally a loss for the month, but held on to a gain so far this year. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and their allies, together known as OPEC+, confirmed an existing agreement to boost production in August. The decision either illustrates the group's "inability to boost production above what is planned," or its "indifference to do so in order to meet western demand," said Hakan Kaya, senior portfolio manager at Neuberger Berman.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Emails and phone calls from same-sex couples, worried about the legal status of their marriages and keeping their children, flooded attorney Sydney Duncan’s office within hours of the Supreme Court’s decision eliminating the constitutional right to abortion.
The ruling last week didn’t directly affect the 2015 decision that paved the way for same-sex marriage. But, Duncan said, it was still a warning shot for families headed by same-sex parents who fear their rights could evaporate like those of people seeking to end a pregnancy.
“That has a lot of people scared and, I think, rightfully so,” said Duncan, who specializes in representing members of the LGBTQ community at the Magic City Legal Center in Birmingham.
Overturning a nearly 50-year-old precedent, the Supreme Court ruled in a Mississippi case that abortion wasn’t protected by the Constitution, a decision likely to lead to bans in about half the states. Justice Samuel Alito said the ruling involved only the medical procedure, writing: “Nothing in this opinion should be understood to cast doubt on precedents that do not concern abortion.”
But conservative Justice Clarence Thomas called on his colleagues to reconsider cases that allowed same-sex marriage, gay sex and contraception.
The court’s three most liberal members warn in their dissent that the ruling could be used to challenge other personal freedoms: “Either the mass of the majority’s opinion is hypocrisy, or additional constitutional rights are under threat. It is one or the other.”
That prospect alarms some LGBTQ couples, who worry about a return to a time when they lacked equal rights to married heterosexual couples under the law. Many, fearful that their marital status is in danger, are moving now to square away potential medical, parental and estate issues.
Dawn Betts-Green and wife Anna Green didn’t waste time shoring up their legal paperwork after the decision. They’ve already visited a legal clinic for same-sex families to start the process of making a will.
“That way, if they blast us back to the Dark Ages again, we have legal protections for our relationship,” said Betts-Green, who works with an Alabama-based nonprofit that documents the history of LGBTQ people in the South.
As a white woman married to a Black transgender man, Robbin Reed of Minneapolis feels particularly vulnerable. A decision undermining same-sex marriage or interracial unions would completely upend Reed's life, which includes the couple's 3-month-old child.
“I have no expectation that anything about my marriage is safe,” said Reed, a legal aide.
Reed's employer, Sarah Breiner of the Breiner Law Firm, is setting up seminars in both the Twin Cities and the Atlanta area to help same-sex couples navigate potential legal needs after the court's decision. Breiner said helping people remain calm about the future is part of her job these days.
“We don’t know what might happen, and that’s the problem,” Breiner said.
In a sign of what could come, the state of Alabama already has cited the abortion ruling in asking a federal appeals court to let it enforce a new state law that makes it a felony for doctors to prescribe puberty blockers and hormones to trans people under age 19. The decision giving states the power to restrict abortion means states should also be able to ban medical treatments for transgender youth, the state claimed.
Any attempt to undo gay marriage would begin with a lawsuit, and any possible rollback is years away since no major legal threat is on the horizon, said Cathryn Oakley, senior counsel and state legislative director with the Washington-based Human Rights Campaign, an LGBTQ advocacy organization.
“This is definitely a scary moment and people are nervous, but peoples’ marriages are still safe,” Oakley said.
Although the threat to same-sex couples feels particularly acute in conservative states, Oakley said she's heard of people all over the country in recent days seeking second-parent adoptions, which protect a family by having the names of both adoptive parents on the birth certificate. People also are completing medical directives in case one spouse is incapacitated and doing general estate planning, she said.
Ryanne Seyba’s law firm in Hollywood, Florida, is offering free second-parent adoptions, which are similar to step-parent adoptions, for qualified same-sex couples to help ease some of the stress caused by the possible ripple effects of the abortion decision.
“We realized last week when (the ruling) came out we needed to do something,” said Seyba of The Upgrade Lawyers.
A judge in Broward County plans to have a special day in August to finalize all the adoptions at once, Seyba said. If nothing else, completing the process should give nervous families more security, she said.
“If gay marriage goes away, we don’t really know what’s going to happen,” she said. “It’s better to be on the safe side.’'

MOSCOW – U.S. basketball star Brittney Griner is set to go on trial in a Moscow-area court Friday, about 4 1/2 months after she was arrested on cannabis possession charges at an airport while traveling to play for a Russian team.
The Phoenix Mercury center and two-time U.S. Olympic gold medalist could face up to 10 years in prison if convicted of large-scale transportation of drugs. Fewer than 1% of defendants in Russian criminal cases are acquitted, and unlike in the U.S., acquittals can be overturned.
At a closed-door preliminary hearing Monday in the Moscow suburb of Khimki, Griner’s detention was extended for another six months, to Dec. 20.
Photos obtained by The Associated Press, including one of the few close-ups of Griner since her arrest on Feb. 17, showed the 31-year-old in handcuffs and looking straight ahead, unlike a previous court appearance where she kept her head down and covered with a hood.
She declined to answer questions from reporters in English as she was led through the courthouse, according to video shown in Russian media. Russian media later reported that Griner’s lawyers would not comment on how their client planned to plead.
The athlete’s detention and trial come at an extraordinarily low point in Moscow-Washington relations. Griner was arrested at Sheremetyevo International Airport less than a week before Russia sent troops into Ukraine, which aggravated already high tensions between the two countries. The invasion led to sweeping sanctions imposed by the United States, and Russia denounced the U.S. for sending weapons to Ukraine.
Amid the tensions, Griner’s supporters have kept a low profile in hopes of a quiet resolution, until May, when the State Department reclassified her as wrongfully detained and shifted oversight of her case to its special presidential envoy for hostage affairs — effectively the U.S. government’s chief negotiator.
Griner’s wife, Cherelle, has urged President Joe Biden to secure her release, calling her “a political pawn.”
“It was good to see her in some of those images, but it’s tough. Every time’s a reminder that their teammate, their friend, is wrongfully imprisoned in another country,” Phoenix Mercury coach Vanessa Nygaard said Monday.
The coach hoped that Biden would "take the steps to ensure she comes home.”
Griner’s supporters have encouraged a prisoner swap like the one in April that brought home Marine veteran Trevor Reed in exchange for a Russian pilot convicted of drug trafficking conspiracy.
Russian news media have repeatedly raised speculation that she could be swapped for Russian arms trader Viktor Bout, nicknamed “the Merchant of Death,” who is serving a 25-year sentence on conviction of conspiracy to kill U.S. citizens and providing aid to a terrorist organization.
Russia has agitated for Bout’s release for years. But the wide discrepancy between Griner’s case — which involves alleged possession of vape cartridges containing cannabis oil — and Bout’s global dealings in deadly weapons could make such a swap unpalatable to the U.S.
Others have suggested that she could be traded in tandem with Paul Whelan, a former Marine and security director serving a 16-year sentence on an espionage conviction that the United States has repeatedly described as a setup.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, when asked Sunday on CNN whether a joint swap of Griner and Whelan for Bout was being considered, sidestepped the question.
“As a general proposition ... I have got no higher priority than making sure that Americans who are being illegally detained in one way or another around the world come home,” he said. But he said he could not comment “in any detail on what we’re doing, except to say this is an absolute priority.” | https://www.clickorlando.com/news/world/2022/07/01/trial-for-us-basketball-star-begins-in-moscow-area-court/ | 2022-07-01T07:10:48Z | https://www.clickorlando.com/news/world/2022/07/01/trial-for-us-basketball-star-begins-in-moscow-area-court/ | true |
Erik ten Hag has been told where he will be looking to improve Tyrell Malacia upon his arrival at Manchester United.
MEN Sport announced on Wednesday that United had reached an agreement in principle over the transfer of Malacia to the club. The 22-year-old widely impressed during Feyenoord's campaign last season.
Malacia became an ever-present in Arne Slot's team, making 50 appearances at left-back. Slot is a big fan of the defender but has previously noted where Ten Hag might well be looking to improve the player when he arrives at Old Trafford.
ALSO READ: Tyrell Malacia marks a change in Manchester United's squad strategy
He explained via Bleed Orange: "This season, we have the ball more as a team, so he now needs to be prepared for any counter attack. He’s doing this well.
"I also see him more and more as a driving player, when we’re behind he is typically the player to try and force the issue, or to ignite a spark with a run or a tackle. I do see him taunt opponents a bit too much.
"Almost showing too much of the ball, to get them to bite. At times, it’s too much. He looks a bit complacent, arrogant even, at times. I talk to him about that."
Arrogance for a footballer is not always a bad thing, it can sometimes be confused for confidence, but will be something that United fans will be wary of considering previous signings at the Theatre of Dreams. But Slot is clear with how high he holds Malacia in his esteem.
"Tyrell is a fan of Marcelo and [David] Alaba of Real Madrid, backs who can defend and attack," Slot added. "He is and has always been strong as a defender, but now you can see him make progress on the ball as well."

OSLO, Norway, July 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Gaming Innovation Group Inc. (GiG) has signed an agreement with a brand new partner Caravel Entertainment Limited (Caravel), best known for operating the 'Moosh' brand in Portugal, to provide its award winning sportsbook and platform.
The deal, which represents a continued strengthening of GiG's targeted strategy in fast growing regulated markets, will see Caravel shift from its existing technology to GiG's for the moosh.pt site, and as such will provide immediate revenue opportunities from what is an existing database migration, scheduled to take place during Q4 2022.
The agreement has been signed between GiG's subsidiary Sportnco Gaming and Caravel for an initial period of three years, that could be further renewed for additional periods.
The Portuguese market has demonstrated high growth across both sports betting and casino, with an annual growth in 2021 of 32% and 30% respectively (H2 data), providing evidence of its commercial potential. GiG has extensive knowledge and experience in delivering complex and highly regulated markets successfully, this being their third Portuguese client alone, fueling the momentum that is making them a trusted partner for operators like Caravel, who are looking to migrate platforms or launch in such markets.
Hervé Schlosser, Managing Director of Sportnco Gaming, said "We are very proud to sign this contract with Moosh, a new GiG customer in the demanding and attractive Portuguese market. Moosh.pt has great ambitions domestically and there is no doubt that we are perfectly positioned to be able to respond positively to the new dynamics of this growing Portuguese operator."
Martin Bengtsson, Chief Executive Officer at Moosh.pt said: "It has been a long process to find the right partner for us, which we have found in the sportsbook and platform provider GiG. Their Sportnco subsidiary is well known for their top-notch sportsbook offering so this partnership offers a strong support for our business, and we are convinced our players will appreciate the new updated sportsbook when we go live. We have high ambitions in the Portuguese market, and this partnership will surely help us accelerate our plans to reach our goals and ambitions, not only in the sportsbook vertical but in Casino as well, whilst scaling up the offering in other regulated markets inside and outside of Europe."

JINGGANGSHAN, China, July 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A report from China Daily:
Located in a remote mountainous area near Jiangxi's border with Hunan province, Jinggangshan is a well-known Red tourism destination in Ji'an city, Jiangxi province. Though it is also known as the cradle of the Chinese revolution, its remote location impeded its development as time passed.
In recent years, Jinggangshan has made good use of its historical resources to promote the local economy, such as Red tourism, modern industries, and modern agriculture. Thanks to the local government's efforts, the city was removed from the poverty list in February 2017, becoming one of the first county-level cities in the nation to be removed.
According to official data, the per capita disposable income of rural residents in Jinggangshan increased from 9,606 yuan ($1,433.56) in 2017 to 14,551 yuan in 2021, exemplifying the country's efforts to battle poverty.
Red tourism has become increasingly popular recently, and Jinggangshan has made use of its Red tourism and natural ecological resources to build tourism brands and promote rural vitalization.
Villagers in Shenshan village in Maoping town, Jinggangshan have tasted sweet success thanks to the local government's targeted poverty relief projects. In 2016, the village launched a project to build a beautiful countryside and develop rural tourism, and currently, it has been transformed from a poverty-stricken mountain village into a beautiful place full of life and vitality.
Relying on the industrial advantages of Ji'an, Jinggangshan has attached importance to developing digital information, new materials, and biomedicine industries.
In recent years, Jinggangshan National Economic and Technological Development Zone has accelerated its pace in developing the digital economy. Efforts have also been paid to facilitate the development of LED lighting, and intelligent hardware industries, as well as the intelligent terminals of the internet of things.
The zone has also been advancing its innovation-driven development strategy, focusing on cultivating high-level talent in the digital industry, and enhancing cooperation with scientific research institutions. According to official data, the business revenue of the zone's digital economy reached 46.6 billion yuan in 2021, which accounted for 43 percent of its total revenue.

Celebrate Independence day by rippin’ lips, staying safe
Published 5:30 pm Thursday, June 30, 2022
JACKSON — Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks announced Monday would be a Free Fishing Day for Mississippi residents. Anyone who is a resident can sport fish without a license that day.
Permits will be needed to fish State Park Lakes such as Bob M. Dearing Natchez State Park Lake.
Better safe than sorry
A reminder to those wishing to celebrate on the water, the MDWFP will be out in full force this weekend to bring awareness and enforcement of boating under the influence as part of Operation Dry Water.
People going across the river to celebrate July 4 on lakes in Louisiana should be aware the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries are also partaking in Operation Dry Water.
“We take boating safety on Louisiana waterways very seriously and that includes our DWI enforcement,” Major Clay Marques, the state boating law administrator said. “We want everyone to feel safe on the water this Fourth of July weekend. That starts with having a sober operator of your vehicle.”
Alcohol can impair your judgement, balance, vision and reaction time. It can also increase fatigue and susceptibility to the effects of cold-water immersion.
According to the LDWF, alcohol is the leading known contributing factor in fatal boating incidents accounting for 16 percent of all deaths on the water. Louisiana had 27 boating fatalities in 2021 with alcohol playing a role in eight of them. | https://m.natchezdemocrat.com/2022/06/30/celebrate-independence-day-by-rippin-lips-staying-safe/ | 2022-07-01T07:19:08Z | https://m.natchezdemocrat.com/2022/06/30/celebrate-independence-day-by-rippin-lips-staying-safe/ | true |

Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges was arrested in California on the eve of NBA free agency after a warrant was issued, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
LAPD spokeswoman Lizeth Lomeli confirmed that Bridges was arrested on Wednesday but did not release details on the charges. TMZ reported that Bridges is facing felony domestic violence charges.
The Hornets said in a statement they “are aware of the situation involving Miles Bridges. We are in the process of gathering additional information. We will have no further comment at this time.”
Bridges’ agent, Rich Paul, has not immediately returned phone calls left by The Associated Press.
Bridges, the Hornets’ leading scorer last season, is set to become a restricted free agent and could command a max contract in the coming weeks. His arrest comes on the eve of NBA free agency, which begins Thursday night with teams able to speak with free agents.
The 24-year-old Bridges averaged career highs with 20.2 points and seven rebounds in what amounted to a breakout season for the four-year NBA veteran while playing alongside All-Star point guard LaMelo Ball.
Bridges, who played at Michigan State, also is a rapper who goes by the name RTB MB.
The Hornets extended Bridges a qualifying offer on Tuesday, which allows them a chance to match any offer sheet made by another team.
“As an organization we love Miles,” Hornets general manager Mitch Kupchak said Tuesday. “We are going to bring him back. He has been great for the franchise and I believe, with his work ethic, he’s only going to get better.”
The 6-foot-7, 225-pound Bridges said after the season he wanted to return to the Hornets, but he recently changed his Twitter bio from “forward for the Charlotte Hornets” to “It’s me,” adding some intrigue to the situation.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A new poll finds a growing percentage of Americans calling out abortion or women’s rights as priorities for the government in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, especially among Democrats and those who support abortion access.
With midterm elections looming, President Joe Biden and Democrats will seek to capitalize on that shift.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in remarks immediately after the decision that “reproductive freedom is on the ballot in November.” But with pervasive pessimism and a myriad of crises facing the nation, it’s not clear whether the ruling will break through to motivate those voters — or just disappoint them.
“It does feel like a major setback,” said 26-year-old Lauren Nelson of San Diego, who has been worrying about the environment her young niece will grow up in. She doesn’t think the midterms will change the course that states are on. “You can’t help but feel kind of helpless, as though there’s not much that can be done.”
Twenty-two percent of U.S. adults name abortion or women’s rights in an open-ended question as one of up to five problems they want the government to work on, according to the poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. That’s more than doubled since December, when an AP-NORC poll found a notable uptick in mentions of abortion from years before, likely in anticipation of the Dobbs ruling on abortion.
The new poll, which included interviews conducted before and after the Supreme Court’s ruling, finds prioritization of the issues grew sharply following the decision.
The Dobbs ruling kicks decision-making on abortion back to states, and in the last week, Republican governors and legislatures have moved to introduce or advance legislation that bans or curtails abortions.
Polling conducted before the decision showed it was unpopular with a majority of Americans, who wanted to see the court leave Roe as is. A majority of Americans support abortion access in general, though many say there should be restrictions.
Mentions of abortion specifically are not limited to Americans who support abortion rights; instead, the poll shows abortion is named as a priority about equally by adults with hardline opinions on both sides of the issue — the third who think abortion should be legal in all cases and the 1 in 10 who think abortion should be illegal in all cases.
Earnestine Smith, a 68-year-old resident of Waukegan, Illinois, said the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe represents progress. The issue is one of her highest priorities right now.
“We want abortion abolished and done away with,” she said. “We got to stand up and say no.”
Still, it’s significant that those with the most liberal views on abortion and those with the most conservative views are about equally likely to prioritize the issue; historically, research has shown opponents of abortion have been more likely to consider the issue important to them than those supporting abortion access.
And the new poll finds mentions of women’s rights are almost exclusively by those who think abortion should be legal.
According to the poll, the percentage of women prioritizing abortion or women’s rights was already higher in interviews conducted before the ruling than six months ago, 21% vs. 9% in December; it swelled to 37% in the days after. Mentions grew sharply among men, too, but the growth was concentrated in the wake of the ruling, from 6% in interviews conducted before to 21% after.
Lyle Gist said he wouldn’t have thought of abortion as a top priority a few years ago. The court decision to overturn Roe, though unsurprising, makes it a major issue.
“I think the ramifications of this are substantial,” said 36-year-old Gist of Los Angeles. Gist thinks that there will be ripple effects, including a “mass exodus” of people moving out of states with abortion bans.
In a small town in Louisiana in 1968, when abortion was illegal, Anne Jones carried a pregnancy to term and gave her daughter up for adoption. Jones, now 74 in Plano, Texas, worries about what the Republican Party might go after next — like birth control — and thinks it’s hypocritical that lawmakers like Texas Gov. Greg Abbott want to “hold the woman accountable for the child that she may not be able to afford to keep” even as they limit health and social services for women and children.
“Politics in Texas has taken a wrong turn,” she said. She wants to see abortion access made national law but remains skeptical that Biden and Democrats can do so.
The poll shows these issues have been increasingly important to Democrats, growing from just 3% in 2020 to 13% in 2021 and now 33%. In interviews before the ruling, 18% of Democrats mentioned abortion or women’s rights; that was 42% after.
Among Republicans, 11% identify abortion or women’s rights as a priority in the new poll, a modest increase from 5% who said that in December.
Steven Lefemine, who protests outside the Planned Parenthood in Columbia, South Carolina, called Roe’s reversal a “major benchmark” but said lawmakers needed to do much more, including pursuing a constitutional amendment to protect unborn children.
“I’d like to see legislation that lives up to God’s word,” he said.
Biden and Democrats have vowed to fight for abortion access, but they’ve struggled with how to act given crippling opposition from Republicans in a sharply divided Senate. Biden said to reporters on Thursday that he would support an exception to the filibuster rule to codify Roe into law.
Roderick Hinton, who voted for Biden, wants to see the president move on court reform, saying the court’s decisions “are not matching today’s time.” He was angry after the court overturned Roe — that the older generation is “putting the screws” to younger Americans, including his two daughters.
Biden commissioned a review of the Supreme Court after promising to do so on the campaign trail, a response to rhetoric within the Democratic Party about expanding the court following former President Donald Trump’s three conservative appointments. The report released last year exercised caution about proposals to expand the court or set term limits.
“Their lifetime position is really crazy,” Hinton said. “As neutral as the courts were, it’s now becoming political. Their personal beliefs are being put in place.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — More than 500 days into his presidency, Joe Biden’s hope for saving the Earth from the most devastating effects of climate change may not be dead.
But it’s not far from it.
A Supreme Court ruling Thursday not only limited the Environmental Protection Agency’s ability to regulate climate pollution by power plants, but also suggests the court is poised to block other efforts by Biden and federal agencies to limit the climate-wrecking fumes emitted by oil, gas and coal.
It’s a blow to Biden’s commitment to slash emissions in the few years scientists say are left to stave off worse and deadlier levels of global warming. And it’s a sign, to Democrats at home and allies abroad, of the dwindling options remaining for Biden to reverse the legacy of President Donald Trump, who mocked the science of climate change. Trump’s three Supreme Court appointees provided half of the affirmative votes in Thursday’s 6-3 ruling.
After the ruling, a veteran Democratic lawmaker acknowledged he saw no hope of Congress producing any meaningful climate legislation, either. The foreign allies whom Biden once spoke of leading to a global clean-power transformation are wondering if the United States can even lead itself.
And in a Houston neighborhood entering hurricane season, a man who had spent four decades advocating for the Black communities and other communities of color and poorer communities hit hardest by pollution and the record heat, cold, floods and storms of climate change reacted to the ruling like many others did Thursday — saying it was all up to Biden now to act – and act in a big way.
“This is real,” said Robert Bullard, an academic who became a pioneer in what became the U.S. environmental justice movement, of the multiplying natural disasters – the kind scientists say are increasingly influenced by the heating atmosphere — wrecking cities on America’s vulnerable Gulf of Mexico.
“Those communities that have been flooded out…some of those communities still have blue tarps on their houses,” Bullard said. “So I don’t think the Supreme Court and and some of our elected officials are speaking about the urgency of where we are when it comes to our climate.”
The dismay at the ruling expressed by many among what is a majority of people in America who say they care deeply about climate change reflected this was only the latest setback to Biden’s early promises to slash emissions.
A narrowly divided Congress already handed Biden what’s been the worst climate defeat of his term so far when two Democrats, including coal-state lawmaker Joe Manchin, joined Senate Republicans in refusing to pass Biden’s Build Back Better package.
Climate parts of the legislation were meant to kickstart America’s transformation into a land of electric cars, clean industry and energy-efficient buildings. Biden was able to move forward some smaller parts of his proposal, including electric car chargers.
And this year, in a development as dangerous for Biden’s early climate hopes as the Supreme Court ruling, a global oil and gas supply crunch has sent gas prices pinging off record highs. It’s fueled inflation and voter anger against Biden, and potentially other Democrats.
The energy shortfall left Biden scrambling for additional oil and gas. It’s also left it unclear whether he still feels he has the political capital to lead the U.S. move to renewable energy as decisively as he promised as a candidate and in his first months in office.
The ruling left policy experts, lawmakers and ordinary people saying Biden, Democrats and climate-minded Republicans still have some routes left to push through climate efforts.
One is ambitious, shrewd executive action — if Biden dares — to push through carefully targeted emission-cutting steps.
A second is climate action by California and the other blue states that earlier swung into action to challenge Trump’s climate rollbacks in court.
A third option is a pitch that Biden and Democrats are throwing to voters more and more — elect enough Democrats in the midterms to allow Congress to pass laws thwarting rollbacks by conservatives, in Congress and on the Supreme Court.
Biden has pledged to cut the nation’s greenhouse gas emissions in half by the end of the decade and to have an emissions-free power sector by 2035.
Biden offered no guarantees of success in his comments after the court ruling.
“While this decision risks damaging our nation’s ability to keep our air clean and combat climate change, I will not relent in using my lawful authorities to protect public health and tackle the climate crisis,” he said in a statement.
His team would “find ways that we can, under federal law, continue protecting Americans” from pollution and climate change, he said.
The Biden administration can still do a strong rule on carbon emissions and greenhouse gas emissions generally, and it ought to do it fast, said Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, a Rhode Island Democrat.
As it is, “there’s no easy fix from Congress from this mess,” Whitehouse said, blaming past court rulings on political donations for “the big, dark polluter money” he said holds sway in politics now.
The Supreme Court ruling came as Biden was savoring a successful gathering with NATO allies, who have rallied behind the U.S. in confronting Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. After Biden’s early proclamations in summits at the outset of his term that “America is back!,” the setback in the Supreme Court underscored to allies how vulnerable the U.S. president remains on the domestic front, including when it comes to fulfilling climate commitments.
As the ruling was released, Biden envoy John Kerry was flying out after an oceans conference in Portugal, still working for global and country-by-country commitments to cut emissions.
The domestic climate setbacks have helped slow early global momentum for climate breakthroughs. They’ve weakened U.S. leverage as Kerry presses countries including China to swing away from coal and other damaging fossil fuels — something Biden had pledged the U.S. would lead on by example.
Among allies abroad, the Supreme Court ruling could shock America’s transatlantic partners like few other developments, said Max Bergmann, director of the Europe program at the Center for Strategic and International studies.
The climate decision in some ways “may have broader impacts at least on the European populace that this is a country that, A: can’t get things done and B: is going in a really bizarre direction domestically,” Bergmann said.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian missile attacks on residential areas in a coastal town near the Ukrainian port city of Odesa early Friday killed at least 18 people, including two children, authorities reported, a day after Russian forces withdrew from a strategic Black Sea island.
Video of the pre-dawn attack showed the charred remains of buildings in the small town of Serhiivka, located about 50 kilometers (31 miles) southwest of Odesa. Ukrainian news reports said missiles struck a multi-story apartment building and a resort area.
The deputy head of the Ukrainian presidential office, Kirill Tymoshenko, said 18 people died, including two children. A spokesman for the Odesa regional government, Serhiy Bratchuk, said on the Telegram messaging app that another 30 had been injured.
Sixteen of the 18 victims died in the strike on the apartment building, Ukrainian emergency officials said.
The airstrikes followed the pullout of Russian forces from Snake Island on Thursday, a move that was expected to potentially ease the threat to nearby Odesa. The island sits along a busy shipping lane. Russia took control of it in the opening days of the war in the apparent hope of using it as a staging ground for an assault on Odesa.
The Kremlin portrayed the pullout from Snake Island as a “goodwill gesture.” Ukraine’s military claimed a barrage of its artillery and missiles forced the Russians to flee in two small speedboats. The exact number of withdrawing troops was not disclosed.
Russian bombardments killed large numbers of civilians earlier in the war. There were fewer mass casualties as Moscow concentrated on capturing eastern Ukraine’s Donbas region.
However, a missile strike that hit a shopping mall in Kremenchuk in central Ukraine killed at least 19 people Monday and injured another 62, authorities said.

Lewandowski might go on strike against Bayern to force exit
The striker might decide to go AWOL for pre-season training if he does not get what he wants
Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski has made no secret of his desire to leave the club despite still having a year left on his contract. He has made it clear that he does not wish to sign a contract extension, but he may now resort to drastic measures in order to force the club to sanction his move.
Spanish side FC Barcelona is believed to be Lewandowski's preferred destination, and the Catalan giants are also keen to have the prolific striker within their ranks. However, Bayern has no intention to sell, even if they risk losing the Polish star on a free transfer at the end of next season.
According to an interview with the Daily Mail, Lewandowski's former agent Maik Barthel would not put it past the player to go AWOL during pre-season training. He thinks that Lewandowski may go on strike to force Bayern to let him go.
"It was already considered that he would not appear for training," Barthel said. "I trust Robert not to show up for training," he added.
Pre-season begins on July 12th, but Bayern Munich officials are fully expecting the player to show up to fulfil his duty. "I don't think about that at all," said Uli Hoeness about the possible strike. "He has a contract, and we are a constitutional state. We have decided that we will not let him go. Unless we could have found a replacement."
Bayern executives have echoed the same tune, often reminding Lewandowski about his contract and how one is allowed to change terms of a legal agreement simply on a whim. The club fully intends to hold on to the player, despite having already signed Sadio Mane from Liverpool this summer.
FC Barcelona meanwhile, are planning to send in another offer to tempt the Germans into selling. Now that they have facilitated the sale of a portion of their TV rights, they are expected to be able to put down an offer closer to the German club's asking price of at least 60 million euros. | https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/lewandowski-might-go-strike-against-bayern-force-exit-1701534 | 2022-07-01T07:43:53Z | https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/lewandowski-might-go-strike-against-bayern-force-exit-1701534 | false |
Welcome to #MomLife, Sharna Burgess! The 37-year-old Dancing With the Stars pro gave birth to a baby boy on Tuesday.
Burgess took to Instagram Thursday to share the happy news as well as the little one's name, writing, "Zane Walker Green. 06/28/2022 at 12:12pm."
"My heart is now forever outside of my body. 🤍," she added, alongside a black-and-white photo of the newborn's tiny hand holding onto dad, Brian Austin Green's finger.
Green shared the same photo and birth announcement to his page, captioning the post, "Zane Walker Green born 6/28 at 12:12 ❤️❤️."
This is Burgess’ first child, but fifth for boyfriend Green. The 48-year-old Beverly Hills, 90210 actor has four other sons -- three with his ex-wife, Megan Fox, and one with actress Vanessa Marcil.
Burgess and Green began dating in 2020 and announced the pregnancy on Instagram in February, just a week after Green’s divorce from Fox was finalized.
Last month, Burgess' friends celebrated the expectant couple with a chic barnyard baby shower. Fellow DWTS alums Peta Murgatroyd and husband Maksim Chmerkovskiy were both in attendance. Murgatroyd posted a collage of photos to Instagram, where she, Maks, and their son, Shai, all embraced Sharna and her growing belly.
"I couldn't be happier for you my love, you and @brianaustingreen are soul mates and this baby boy is destined for greatest [sic] with both of you as his parents," Murgatroyd wrote. "Here’s to you and your family and the beginning of EVERYTHING ❤"
In May, Green shared that he had been battling ulcerative colitis, an inflammatory bowel disease that left him bedridden for six weeks.
“Sharna was amazing,” he said. “Six, seven months pregnant, taking care of my three young kids, cause I was pretty bedridden for a while.”
"Taking care of me," he added. "Not complaining, being amazing. I am super thankful to have someone like her in my life.”
Around the same time, a source told ET that Burgess was enjoying her pregnancy. "Sharna feels fantastic and nothing is more exciting to her than becoming a mom," the source said.
Burgess has been open about her hopes for motherhood since ET spoke with her last June. "Kids have always been on the cards for me," she said, adding that she has enjoyed getting to know Brian's four sons. "They're really cool little humans. It's just [about] becoming good friends with them."
In March, Burgess opened up about telling her parents the news. Her father died in January 2022, but she and Green were able to tell him about the pregnancy in person.
"Some part of me thinks he was holding on to see that I was OK," Burgess captioned a touching video on Instagram. "And now it's my turn to be a parent. I will give it my everything and hope I do half as good a job as mine did."

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.binghamtonhomepage.com/news/business/all-eyes-on-airlines-as-july-fourth-holiday-weekend-nears/ | 2022-07-01T07:52:43Z | https://www.binghamtonhomepage.com/news/business/all-eyes-on-airlines-as-july-fourth-holiday-weekend-nears/ | false |
KREMENCHUK, Ukraine (AP) — How do you grieve when there is no body to be found? How do you move forward when the person you loved vanished into the dust in a matter of seconds? These are some of the unthinkable questions many in Kremenchuk are now grappling with after a Russian airstrike obliterated a busy shopping mall.
Many hoped the war would not reach as far as their city. Since the invasion, checkpoints had been erected at the entrance to the town. Air raid sirens wailed occasionally. There had been two strikes, without casualties, on a oil refinery on the outskirts of town. But for the citizens of Kremenchuk, a breezy city on the banks of the Dnipro river in central Ukraine, hundreds of kilometers from the front lines, the town offered them a sense of relative safety.
Then a Russian cruise missile crashed through the Amstor shopping mall, igniting a fierce blaze that burned through the building and those trapped inside within minutes.
Some had just stopped by the mall on their way home from work, to fix their phone or shop for clothes. But before they could register what was happening, the building became a black, choking inferno, the fire inside so hot it melted the metal and glass.
Survivors told the AP that at the time of impact there were “hundreds” of people inside the building. So far 18 people have been confirmed dead, at least 20 other people have been reported missing, while dozens are in intensive care. In the hours after the strike, local Telegram groups were filled with panicked messages asking for information about missing daughters, brothers, friends.
Among those still searching for their relative is Oleksandr Baybuza, whose brother-in-law Kostiantyn Voznyi was working inside Amstor at the time of the attack.
Baybuza told the AP that the family had no information about Voznyi’s whereabouts.
“Everyone hopes he is alive, that he is injured somewhere. Nobody is losing hope. Everyone is waiting for good news. We are very worried” said Baybuza, his face pale and exhausted.
When the war started, Voznyi had sent his wife and children to safety abroad. He stayed in Kremenchuk, unable to leave the country due to martial law, and wound up working at an electronics store on the central aisle of the Amstor mall. Oleksandr says witnesses saw him working there that afternoon.
The family has not been able to find him at any local hospitals. DNA samples have been taken from Voznyi’s children and his father. Now begins the terrible wait.
Fourteen emergency service psychologists are currently working at the blast site with families like Voznyi’s and with survivors. The psychologists are up against a difficult task: The explosion was so powerful it is possible relatives may never find any trace of their loved ones.
Svitlana Rybalko, a press officer for the State Emergency Services, told the AP that alongside the identified dead, investigators had found the fragments of 8 additional bodies. “The police cannot say for sure how many (victims) there are. So we are finding not the bodies but the fragments of bodies. Now we are clearing at the very epicentre of the blast. Here we practically cannot find bodies, as such.”
The psychologists are working to help families come to terms with the idea that they may not ever find their relatives.
“The main thing is: we do not give them extra hope. We do not say that everything will be all right. That your loved ones will be taken out of the rubble alive after several days. If we say so, they will have false hope, false expectations” says Yuliia Falieva, a State Emergency Service psychologist.
“It’s important that they accept this reality as soon as possible” said another psychologist, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media. “It’s better to release the emotions now rather than store them up for later.”
Falieva says that the psychologists’ main job is to remain close to those who are suffering, to listen, to help them through this deeply traumatic period. She says that mostly people do not approach the psychologists to ask for help, so it is their job to identify who needs support.
“We visually select people who need help most of all. It could be a person who is too excited, is trembling, cries too much or behaves aggressively” says Falieva, adding that she has helped people looking for their children, former mall employees concerned about colleagues and anxious citizens alike.
On Wednesday morning, several people still hoping for news of their loved ones stood by the wreckage of the mall. A young woman sat cross-legged on the ground and wept, concealing her tears with dark sunglasses. Another woman was comforted by one of the psychologists. One, man who did not want to give his name, appeared distressed as he stood staring at the ruins. He had brought yellow flowers to lay at the nearby memorial. “I was in there, I almost died” he said “I shouldn’t have come here, it was a bad idea — I can’t even look at this… I want to kill these Russian scumbags.”
Like many of the residents who now come to stare in silent disbelief at the wreckage of Amstor, Falieva, an experienced crisis psychologist, is still in shock.
“I’ve been working for 20 years but this is the first experience of the kind. Before we had crisis situations connected with nature, road traffic collisions. … Throughout these long days all of us are feeling this kind of shock, confusion, and anger.”
Kremenchuk, Ukrainian officials say, must serve as a reminder that while the country is at war, nowhere is safe. Iryna Venediktova, Ukraine’s Prosecutor General, who visited the blast site on Tuesday, said that all citizens should expect incoming missiles “every minute” and “be ready”.
Psychologically it is difficult for many to accept the tragedy that struck their quiet, riverside town.
One resident, Denys Ipatov, says, “I still can’t believe the war came to our city. … Why do all that? To peaceful citizens, to a peaceful facility. I don’t understand the sense of this war. … What drives these barbarians?” | https://www.binghamtonhomepage.com/news/international/despair-and-denial-amid-search-for-ukrainian-mall-victims/ | 2022-07-01T07:54:45Z | https://www.binghamtonhomepage.com/news/international/despair-and-denial-amid-search-for-ukrainian-mall-victims/ | true |

We'll be with you on 'long road' to membership, EU tells Ukraine
BRUSSELS, July 1 (Reuters) - Ukraine now has a "very clear European perspective" but the road to EU membership will take time and require hard work, the president of the EU executive told the country's parliament on Friday.
EU leaders last week granted Ukraine candidate status to join the bloc, formally opening a process that is expected to take years before it becomes a member of the union that now comprises 27 countries..
In a speech by video-link to the Ukrainian assembly, Ursula von der Leyen underlined the progress made by the country in its path towards EU membership while it defends itself against Russia's Feb. 24 invasion.
"Ukraine now has a very clear European perspective. And Ukraine is a candidate country to join the European Union, something that seemed almost unimaginable just five months ago," she told lawmakers and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.
"There is a long road ahead but Europe will be at your side every step of the way, for as long as it takes, from these dark days of war until the moment you cross the door that leads into our European Union," she said, noting that many crucial reforms were needed as soon as possible.
"The next steps are within your reach. But they will require hard work," she added.
She listed among urgent required measures: the adoption of a media law, the implementation of new rules that reduce oligarchs' excessive clout and the appointment of top anti-corruption officials.

NEW YORK (AP) — Shares of Spirit Airlines rose Thursday after it postponed a vote for the second time on a proposed merger with Frontier Airlines, allowing for a bidding war over the budget airline between Frontier and JetBlue Airways to play out.
The delay, announced hours before the scheduled vote, indicated that Spirit lacked support to approve the Frontier merger.
JetBlue CEO Robin Hayes said Spirit shareholders gave their board a mandate to negotiate a sale to his airline.
But JetBlue investors seemed underwhelmed by the prospect of the New York-based carrier buying Spirit. They sent shares of JetBlue down 6.6% on Thursday. Spirit rose 6.4%, while Frontier dipped 1.5%.
Florida-based Spirit said the vote on a proposed tie-up with Frontier would be postponed until July 8. Leaders of all three airlines have been making their pitch to major Spirit shareholders for support in a vote that could reshape the market for travelers looking for the cheapest possible fare.
Spirit’s board has stood by a February agreement with Frontier despite pressure from JetBlue.
The vote on the Frontier deal was originally scheduled for June 10, but was postponed nearly three weeks in what analysts took as a sign that Spirit lacked support for the merger in the face of an all-cash offer from JetBlue.
Both sides have sweetened their offers since early June. At current stock prices, the Frontier bid is worth about $22 per share, or $2.4 billion, while JetBlue’s hostile takeover bid is $33.50 per share, or $3.6 billion.
Spirit and Frontier argue that antitrust regulators will prefer their combination of two similar budget airlines and won’t let a bigger carrier like JetBlue buy Spirit. JetBlue says it can win government approval, and it has offered to divest some Spirit assets.
Either deal would create the fifth-largest U.S. airline and a more powerful competitor to giants American, United, Delta and Southwest. | https://www.wjhl.com/business/ap-business/spirits-delay-allows-airline-bidding-war-time-to-play-out/ | 2022-07-01T08:05:08Z | https://www.wjhl.com/business/ap-business/spirits-delay-allows-airline-bidding-war-time-to-play-out/ | false |
Nikola Jokic went from No. 41 draft pick, to two-time MVP, and now the holder of the largest contract in NBA history.
Jokic and the Denver Nuggets agreed Thursday to a $264 supermax extension, according to a person with direct knowledge of the negotiations who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because neither the player nor team announced the agreement.
It begins with the 2023-24 season and continues through 2027-28 — when, if Jokic exercises his option for that season, he could make roughly $60 million.
The Serbian star has had a meteoric rise in his seven NBA seasons, all with the Nuggets. He became an All-Star in his fourth season and has stayed at that level since, plus won MVP in each of the last two seasons after averaging 26.4 points in 2020-21 and 27.1 points this past season.
And the MVP votes haven’t exactly been close; Jokic has been atop roughly 75% of the ballots cast for that award over the last two seasons.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden said Thursday that he would support an exception to the Senate filibuster to protect abortion access, a shift that comes as Democrats coalesce around an election-year message intended to rally voters who are outraged or deflated by the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade.
Although Democrats already control the Senate by the narrowest of margins, there isn’t enough support within their caucus to change the filibuster rule, which allows any member to block legislation unless it receives 60 votes. But Biden’s statement was the latest indication that, if the party picks up a few more seats in the midterm elections in November, Democrats could seize the opportunity to pass legislation creating a nationwide right to abortion.
“If the filibuster gets in the way, it’s like voting rights,” Biden said, referencing the rare other issue where he supports sidestepping the rule. Speaking during a news conference in Madrid, where he was attending a NATO summit, the Democratic president said there should be an “exception to the filibuster for this action to deal with the Supreme Court decision.”
Democrats hold 50 seats in the 100-person Senate, with Vice President Kamala Harris able to break ties when she presides over the Senate. It would take 51 votes to change the filibuster rule.
But at least two Democratic senators, Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, don’t support changing the filibuster rule. They also blocked an effort to protect voting rights earlier this year, dealing a defeat to Biden and Democrats who said the legislation was vital to protecting democracy.
Harris said earlier this week that “the votes don’t exist” for changing the filibuster now.
“Why are we talking about hypotheticals?” she told NPR.
Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., who was also attending the NATO summit in Madrid, said Thursday that it’s not practical to expect “massive institutional change” because of opposition to filibuster changes within the caucus.
“This is not the political environment to be looking for that,” he said.
With Biden unpopular and inflation continuing to rise, Republicans are poised to make gains in the November elections and perhaps retake control of Congress. Democrats have been grasping for a message that would change the course of the election, and they’ve increasingly emphasized to voters that they need at least two more seats in the Senate to make progress on key issues.
During a Los Angeles fundraiser last month, Biden said “we need two more senators” because some members of the caucus are “slowing up what we’re able to do.”
Now the Supreme Court ruling on abortion has increased that pressure. Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, a leading progressive voice in the party, recently pointed to races in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin as the best options for Democrats to flip Republican-held seats.
“We get two more senators on the Democratic side, two senators who are willing to protect access to abortion and get rid of the filibuster so that we can pass it,” she told ABC News this weekend. “And, yes, John Fetterman, I’m looking at you in Pennsylvania. Mandela Barnes, I’m looking at you in Wisconsin. We bring them in, then we’ve got the votes, and we can protect every woman, no matter where she lives.”
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., endorsed a similar step in a letter to colleagues on Monday.
“It is essential that we protect and expand our pro-choice majorities in the House and Senate in November so that we can eliminate the filibuster so that we can restore women’s fundamental rights — and freedom for every American,” she wrote.
The president has been under pressure to take as much executive action as possible to protect abortion rights, although his options are limited. Biden said he’s meeting Friday with governors to talk about abortion and “I’ll have announcements to make then.”
During Thursday’s news conference, Biden harshly criticized the Supreme Court’s decision on abortion and reiterated his warnings that other constitutional protections could be at risk.
“One thing that has been destabilizing is the outrageous behavior of the Supreme Court of the United States in overruling not only Roe v. Wade but essentially challenging the right to privacy,” he said.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Biden’s comments were “below the dignity of the president,” and that the “attacks on the court are unmerited and dangerous.”
“He’s upset that the court said the people, through their elected representatives, will have a say on abortion policy,” McConnell said in a statement. “That does not destabilize democracy — it affirms it. By contrast, it is behavior like the president’s that undermines equal justice and the rule of law.”

LAS VEGAS, Honduras (AP) — Children set out hoping to earn enough to support their siblings and parents. Young adults who sacrificed to attend college thinking it would lead to success left their country disillusioned. A man already working in the U.S. who returned to visit his wife and children decided to take a cousin on his return to the U.S.
As families of the more than 60 people packed into a tractor-trailer and abandoned on Monday in Texas began to confirm their worst fears and talk of their relatives, a common narrative of pursuing a better life took shape from Honduras to Mexico.
Fifty-three of those migrants left in the sweltering heat on the outskirts of San Antonio had died as of Wednesday, while others remained hospitalized. The tedious process of identifications continues, but families are confirming their losses.
The dead included 27 people from Mexico, 14 from Honduras, seven from Guatemala and two from El Salvador, said Francisco Garduño, chief of Mexico’s National Immigration Institute.
Each put their lives in the hands of smugglers. News of the trailer full of bodies struck horror in cities and villages accustomed to watching their young people leave, trying to flee poverty or violence in Central America and Mexico.
In Las Vegas, Honduras, a town of 10,000 people about 50 miles south of San Pedro Sula, Alejandro Miguel Andino Caballero, 23, and Margie Tamara Paz Grajeda, 24, had believed his degree track in marketing and hers in economics would open doors to economic stability.
Already together for nearly a decade, the young couple spent recent years applying for jobs with companies. But time and again they were denied.
The pandemic hit, hurricanes devastated the northern part of the country and they grew disillusioned.
So when a relative of Andino Caballero’s living in the United States offered to help him and his younger brother, 18-year-old Fernando José Redondo Caballero, finance the trip north, they were ready.
“You think that when people have a higher level of education, they have to get more employment opportunities,” said Karen Caballero, the brothers’ mother. “Because that’s why they work, study.”
Caballero did not feel like she could hold them back anymore, including 24-year-old Paz Grajeda, who lived with Alejandro in his mother’s home and who Caballero referred to as her daughter-in-law though they had not married.
“We all planned it as a family so they could have a different life, so they could achieve goals, dreams,” Caballero said.
When they left Las Vegas on June 4, Caballero accompanied them to Guatemala. From there, the young trio were smuggled across Guatemala and then Mexico in the back of semitrailers.
“I thought things were going to go well,” she said. “Who was a little afraid was Alejandro Miguel. He said, ‘Mom, if something happens to us.’ And I told him, ‘Nothing is going to happen, nothing is going to happen. You are not the first nor will you be the last human being to travel to the United States.’”
Caballero last spoke to them Saturday morning. They told her they had crossed the Rio Grande at Roma, Texas, were headed to Laredo and on Monday expected to head north to Houston.
She had just gotten home Monday evening when someone told her to turn on the television. “I couldn’t process it,” she said of seeing the report about the trailer in San Antonio. “Then I remembered how my sons had traveled, that they had been in trucks since Guatemala and the whole stretch in Mexico.”
Caballero was able to confirm their deaths Tuesday after sending their details and photos to San Antonio.
Alejandro Miguel was creative, jovial, known for hugging everyone and being a good dancer. Fernando José was enthusiastic and noble, willing to help anyone in need. He imitated his older brother in everything from his haircut to his clothes. They were soccer fanatics, filling their mother’s home with shouts.
The deaths of her sons and Paz Grajeda, who was like a daughter, are devastating. “My children leave a void in my heart,” she said. “We’re going to miss them a lot.”
Nearly 400 miles away, the prospects for Wilmer Tulul and Pascual Melvin Guachiac, 13-year-old cousins from Tzucubal, Guatemala, had been considerably more narrow.
Tzucubal is an Indigenous Quiche community of about 1,500 people in the mountains nearly 100 miles northwest of the capital, where most live by subsistence farming.
“Mom, we’re heading out,” was the last message Wilmer sent to his mother Magdalena Tepaz in their native Quiche on Monday. They had left home June 14.
Hours after hearing that audio message, a neighbor told the family there had been an accident in San Antonio and they feared the worst, Tepaz said through a translator.
The boys had grown up friends and did everything together: playing, going out, even planning to go to the United States despite not speaking Spanish well, said Melvin’s mother, María Sipac Coj.
A single mother of two, she said Melvin “wanted to study in the United States, then work and after build my house.” She received a voice message from her son Monday saying they were leaving. She has erased it because she couldn’t stand to listen to it anymore.
Relatives who arranged and paid for the smuggler awaited the boys in Houston. Those relatives told her of their deaths, and the Guatemalan government confirmed them to her Wednesday.
Wilmer’s father, Manuel de Jesús Tulul, could not stop crying Wednesday. He said he had no idea how the boys would get to Houston, but never imagined they would be put in a trailer. His son had left school after elementary and joined his father clearing farmland for planting.
Tulul said Wilmer did not see a future for himself in a town where modest homes were built with remittances sent from the United States. He wanted to help support his three siblings and have his own house and land some day.
The smuggler charged $6,000, almost half of which they had paid. Now Tulul was only thinking about getting his son’s body back and hoping the government would cover the cost.
In Mexico, cousins Javier Flores López and Jose Luis Vásquez Guzmán left the tiny community of Cerro Verde in the southern state of Oaxaca also hoping to help their families. They were headed to Ohio, where construction jobs and other work awaited.
Flores López is now missing, his family said, while Vásquez Guzmán is hospitalized in San Antonio.
Cerro Verde is a community of about 60 people that has largely been abandoned by the young. Those who remain work earning meager livings weaving sun hats, mats, brooms and other items from palm leaves. Many live on as little as 30 pesos a day (less than $2).
It was not the first trip to the U.S.-Mexico border for Flores López, now in his mid-30s, who left Cerro Verde years ago and went to Ohio, where his father and a brother live.
He was back home to see his wife and three small children briefly, said a cousin, Francisco López Hernández. Vásquez Guzmán, 32, decided to go with his cousin for his first trip across the border and hoped to reach his oldest brother who is in Ohio as well.
While everyone knew the risks, countless people from Cerro Verde had made it safely across the U.S.-Mexico border with the help of smugglers, so it came as a shock, López Hernández said, to learn Vásquez Guzmán was among those packed into the trailer found abandoned Monday near auto salvage yards. The family believes Flores López was, too, but they are still awaiting confirmation.
Vásquez Guzmán’s mother had intended to get a visa to visit her hospitalized son, but on Wednesday he was moved out of intensive care and she was able to speak with him by phone. She decided to stay in Mexico and await his recovery, said Aida Ruiz, director of the Oaxaca Institute for Migrant Attention.
López Hernández said most people rely on those who have made it to the U.S. to send them money for the journey, which usually costs around $9,000.
“There are a lot of risks but for those who are lucky, the fortune is there, to be able to work, earn a living” he said.

What is the best Igloo cooler?
Campers, sports enthusiasts and families headed to a picnic or reunion know the importance of a quality cooler. Coolers keep drinks and food cold with reinforced insulation. They come in many sizes and are easily transported from your vehicle.
Igloo is the leading brand of coolers. Their classic style and durability are tested and trusted. Whatever your plans, there is an Igloo cooler for your party or excursion. The best Igloo cooler is the Igloo Polar Cooler, which features a rugged design that stays cold for seven days.
What to know before you buy an Igloo cooler
Types of coolers
Igloo makes soft and hard coolers. Soft coolers are made from fabric with an insulated liner and work best with drinks. They can be carried over the shoulder or as a backpack with some designs. They are lightweight and fold easily, but the contents can shift and mix together.
Hard coolers have a durable polyethylene outer surface that keep food and drinks cold for a longer period than soft coolers. They often have wheels, cupholders and serving trays. They are more expensive and take up more room since they don’t fold down.
Sizes of coolers
Igloo coolers come in many sizes. There are coolers small enough to be a personal lunch tote, and there are ones that can hold dozens of cans and large quantities of food. There are Igloo coolers that hold over 100 quarts and 250 12-ounce cans.
Where are you using the cooler?
Being able to transport food and drinks is one of the main benefits of a cooler. If you are staying close to your vehicle, a cooler with a shoulder strap or traditional handle will be sufficient. For toting the cooler a long distance across relative level pavement, there are plenty of options with wheels and different types of handles. There are also coolers with rugged anti-skid wheels that help transport the cooler over trails and paths.
What to look for in a quality Igloo cooler
Handles
There are different types of handles. Some are bolted through on heavier coolers to provide extra support. Some have a towing handle to pull the cooler behind you or a telescoping handle that can be lowered when not in use. There are handles with a grooved grip to prevent slipping.
Interior lights
Some coolers have built-in LED interior lights that illuminate the interior of the cooler at night.
Cup holders
There are coolers with molded cup holders in the lid to keep your favorite beverage nearby while you fish or sit around the campfire.
Tie-down loops
An innovative feature of larger coolers is tie-down loops. These loops are used for other items to be strapped to the cooler such as umbrellas or camping chairs. You can transport the cooler and these items at one time to save on time and effort.
How much you can expect to spend on an Igloo cooler
Igloo coolers start at under $25 and can cost over $200 for the largest coolers with many features.
- Inexpensive coolers are priced under $25. There are both soft and hard coolers in this price range that have a limited capacity up to 12 cans, or food for up to four people.
- Midrange coolers are priced $25-$100. Both soft and hard coolers are available in this price range. The hard coolers often have features like tie-down loops and latches.
- Expensive coolers cost between $100-$200. The majority are hard coolers with large capacities and extra thick insulation. The best soft coolers fall into this price range too.
- Premium coolers are priced over $200. They may be made of aluminum or stainless steel and have latches. They also come with wide tires and telescoping handles.
Igloo cooler FAQ
How do I get rid of odors inside my cooler?
A. Vanilla extract is the answer to stubborn smells. Soak a paper towel in vanilla and leave it in the cooler overnight. In the morning, wipe down the cooler with the paper towel. Repeat the process if the odor lingers.
What is ice retention?
A. Ice retention is the number of days that ice remains frozen inside a cooler in a room that is 90 degrees. Some Igloo coolers can keep ice frozen for up to a week.

TOKYO (AP) — Asian benchmarks were mostly lower on Friday, echoing a decline on Wall Street, after a quarterly report by Japan’s central bank rekindled worries about the world’s third largest economy.
Shares fell in Tokyo, Seoul, Sydney and Shanghai. Markets were closed in Hong Kong for a holiday.
Recent data suggest global growth is slowing as countries grapple with renewed waves of coronavirus outbreaks, soaring prices and the war in Ukraine.
In the Bank of Japan “tankan” survey, the headline index for large manufacturers was 9, down from 14 in the previous quarter and the second straight quarter of declines. The tankan measures corporate sentiment by subtracting the number of companies saying business conditions are negative from those responding they are positive.
The numbers for non-manufacturing indicators were better, but worries are growing because of pressures from a weakening Japanese yen.
The tankan results might spur criticism over the Bank of Japan's ultra-loose monetary policy, which is a factor behind the weaker yen, said Stephen Innes, managing partner at SPI Asset Management.
“The Bank may wait until the Q3 survey is released before stepping away from its ultra-dovish setting,” he said in a report.
In a bit of positive news, a survey by a Chinese business magazine, Caixin, found China’s factory activity expanded in June at its strongest rate in 13 months following an easing of anti-virus restrictions that shut down Shanghai and other industrial centers..
A monthly purchasing managers’ index issued by Caixin rose to 51.7 from 48.1 in May on a 100-point scale on which numbers above 50 show activity increasing. New orders rose while employment declined for a third month.
Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 dropped 1.7% to finish at 25,935.62. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 edged down 0.4% to 6,539.90. South Korea's Kospi lost 1.4% to 2,301.10. The Shanghai Composite fell 0.3% to 3,387.31.
Hong Kong's markets were closed for a holiday.
On Thursday, Wall Street closed out its worst quarter since the onset of the pandemic in early 2020. It was the worst first half since the first six months of 1970.
The S&P 500 fell 0.9%, its fourth consecutive drop, to 3,785.38. The benchmark index is now down 21% since it hit an all-time high at the beginning of the year. It entered a bear market earlier in June.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.8%, to 30,775.43. The Nasdaq slid 1.3% to 11,028.74, and small company stocks also fell, with the Russell 2000 losing 0.7% to 1,707.99.
Rising inflation is behind much of the slump for the broader market this year as businesses raise prices, squeezing consumers.
The Federal Reserve and other central banks have been aggressively raising interest rates to try and slow economic growth in order to cool inflation. Higher rates can bring down inflation, but they also risk a recession by slowing the economy too much. They also push down on prices for stocks, bonds, cryptocurrencies and other investments.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury, which helps set mortgage rates, fell to 3.01% from 3.09% late Wednesday.
A measure of inflation that is closely tracked by the Fed rose 6.3% in May from a year earlier, unchanged from its level in April. The report from the Commerce Department also said consumer spending rose at a sluggish 0.2% rate from April to May.
The update follows a worrisome report earlier this week that consumer confidence had slipped to its lowest level in 16 months. The government also reported that the U.S. economy shrank 1.6% in the first quarter. Weak consumer spending was a key part of that contraction.
The OPEC oil cartel and allied producing nations decided Thursday to increase production of crude oil, but the amount will likely do little to relieve high gasoline prices at the pump and energy-fueled inflation plaguing the global economy.
In energy trading, benchmark U.S. crude lost 48 cents to $105.28 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent crude, the international standard, fell 31 cents to $108.72 a barrel.
In currency trading, the U.S. dollar inched down to 135.01 Japanese yen from 135.75 yen. The euro cost $1.0454, down from $1.0484.

ROGERS -- The Daisy National BB Gun Championship Match aims to rebound after being canceled the past two years because of covid-19.
The national championship of youth 5-meter BB gun shooting attracts teams from across the country and names team and individual national champions.
Practice and scoring clinics will be held Friday. The competition is Saturday and Sunday, with closing ceremonies and the naming of the national champions Sunday night at the Rogers Convention Center, 3303 S. Pinnacle Hills Parkway.
Competitors use Daisy Model 499B Champion Model BB guns, according to the release.
Teams of youths ages 8 to 15 who have passed the 10-hour Daisy shooting and safety curriculum and have placed first, second or third in their state's championship match are invited to compete. Teams originate from the 4-H shooting sports programs, American Legion shooting programs and other youth organizations. They travel from as far away as Oregon to compete.
The Daisy Nationals is a four-position, 5-meter competition. Competitors will shoot 10 shots each from the standing, kneeling, sitting and prone positions at a target placed 5 meters away. Competitors also take a written test that covers gun safety, marksmanship and competitive shooting. The test makes up 25% of the competitor's final score, according to the release.
Opening ceremonies tonight will include costume, T-shirt and patriotic-themed contests sponsored by Academy Sports and Outdoors and a parade of teams. Competitors look forward to the annual Barter Bar, when competitors and coaches bring items from their state to trade with others. In addition, the event will feature a 10-meter competition shot with the Daisy 599 competition airgun, according to the release.
"Competitive shooting teaches mental focus, bolsters self-esteem and improves coordination," said Lawrence Taylor, Daisy director of public relations. "Every year, we hear stories of how competitors have raised grades and became happier and more disciplined since they started the program."
Daisy Outdoor Products is based in Rogers.
J.R Shaw, executive director of Visit Rogers, said attendance at the championship match had been growing before the pandemic, and it always has been popular.
Visit Rogers is a division of the Rogers-Lowell Area Chamber of Commerce. An event like the championship helps the visitation footprint for Rogers and Northwest Arkansas, he said.
"They are here for a long time," he said. "For some, their family vacation is planned around the event. They are out doing a lot of fun things while they are here, and that footprint spreads across Northwest Arkansas.
"It's an introduction of Northwest Arkansas to a generation of new travelers. It allows the region to show off a little bit."
Competitors, families and staff stay at local hotels, eat local and visit local tourist attractions, he said. The Daisy Airgun Museum is in Rogers. The tournament is a shot in the arm for local businesses that are beginning to rebound after dealing with covid-19 the last two years, Shaw said.
"It really is valuable," he said of the event.
The match was held in Bowling Green, Ky., for 16 years before it came to Rogers in 2010, when it was held at the Rogers High School fieldhouse. The Rogers Convention Center has hosted the event since 2011. | https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2022/jul/01/daisy-competition-back-in-rogers/ | 2022-07-01T08:15:07Z | https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2022/jul/01/daisy-competition-back-in-rogers/ | true |
Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Clinic in favor of Dobbs, reversing Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey and sending the issue of abortion back to the states. This historic decision will have major ramifications across the country.
Now, the fight for life begins in the states, as each legislature creates its own laws on abortion. Some states, including Arkansas, have "trigger" laws already on the books that have gone into effect after the decision. In Arkansas, the law required certification by the state attorney general, which was completed promptly after the Supreme Court's decision. Abortion in Arkansas is now illegal except in the case where the mother's life is threatened.
It is important for women who may have otherwise considered an abortion to know they are not alone. In the U.S., more than 2,700 pro-life pregnancy centers provide community-based support through nearly 15,000 staff and almost 54,000 volunteers, which includes 10,200 licensed medical professionals. Pro-life centers have already saved more than 800,000 precious lives by meeting the physical, emotional, and material needs of women in difficult circumstances so they may feel confident in choosing life for their unborn child.
Some on the other side of the political spectrum see crisis pregnancy centers as a threat to their perceived right to an abortion. You may have seen in the news recently that crisis pregnancy centers across the country have been targeted and vandalized by the pro-abortion group "Jane's Revenge" and threatened by other radical leftist groups after the Supreme Court's draft opinion was leaked.
In Wisconsin, the group reportedly smashed the windows and set fire to an empty pro-life center and threatened the lives of those inside by spray-painting on the exterior: "If abortions aren't safe, then you aren't either." After the attack, the group signed a letter stating that next time, the violence may not be "so easily cleaned up as fire and graffiti."
This violence is designed to promote fear in the staff, volunteers, and mothers who come to crisis pregnancy centers for medical care, referrals, food, baby supplies, education, counseling, and other essential services. Meanwhile, in Washington, D.C., "Jane's Revenge" reportedly posted flyers warning of riots after the Supreme Court's decision to return abortion law to the states, where it belongs. They call it a "night of rage." I call it possible domestic terrorism.
Domestic terrorism is defined by the FBI as politically or religiously motivated violence committed to further an ideological goal. That is why I sent a letter with more than 100 of my Republican colleagues demanding the Department of Justice investigate these attacks on innocent people in crisis pregnancy centers as domestic terrorism.
I also sent another letter this week to Attorney General Merrick Garland imploring him to immediately and aggressively stop the violence against pro-life Americans. The people who work in these pro-life organizations, and the women who come to them for help, are innocent and deserve the protection of law enforcement. The politically motivated threatening and attempted intimidation of crisis pregnancy centers must be prosecuted.
Sadly, my Democrat colleagues have been strangely silent as these violent acts continue. I challenge my friends on the other side of the aisle to not only condemn violence when it suits their political agenda, but also any time it occurs. I call on them to join us in demanding the DOJ do its duty in rooting out and prosecuting such blatant criminal activity.
The Department of Homeland Security is anticipating further violence now that Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey have been overturned, and it is important that the DOJ be ready to prosecute these crimes and protect our citizens, as they would any crime, regardless of the perpetrators' political affiliations.
Today, life won, but the fight is really just beginning, and the pro-life movement will not be intimidated or frightened. We will always stand for the rights of the unborn until abortion is not only illegal in all 50 states, but unconscionable.

EDELIFE Phase II trial explores potential of pioneering prenatal treatment for XLHED
GENEVA and Castres, France, July 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --The EspeRare Foundation and the Pierre Fabre group announced today that the first patient in the EDELIFE clinical trial has received the three rounds of injection as planned. The pivotal trial is the first-of-its-kind, as the treatment is given to the XLHED (X-linked Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia)-affected baby while inside his mother's womb. The trial intends to confirm the efficacy and safety of ER004 given as a pre-natal treatment to XLHED-affected boys.
XLHED is a very rare and debilitating congenital disease which affects approximately 4/100,000 live male births every year. This genetic disorder is a dermatologic-related condition which leads to abnormal development of the skin, sweat glands, sebaceous glands, hair, oral cavity and respiratory mucosal glands resulting in serious clinical manifestations such as hyperthermia, craniofacial anomalies and recurrent respiratory infections.
The EDELIFE clinical trial is a confirmatory study that will investigate the efficacy and safety of intra-amniotic ER004 administrations as a prenatal treatment for male foetuses who have been confirmed to have XLHED. ER004 is a pioneering in-utero therapy designed to replace the function of endogenous Ectodysplasin A1 (EDA1), a protein key to the normal development of ectodermal structures in the foetus. If successful, ER004 has the potential to become the first approved 'single-course treatment', administered during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy.
"It is an exciting time for the Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia community and for prenatal medical research. For the first time, we can hope to correct major symptoms of XLHED for those who are diagnosed before birth," said Caroline Kant, the Co-founder and CEO of the EspeRare Foundation. "We need the support of the XLHED community to ensure that those who may benefit from this unique treatment are aware of the EDELIFE trial."
A target number of 15 to 20 baby boys with XLHED will be treated within the EDELIFE trial across 8 centres in Europe and the USA. Clinical centres for the study are now open in Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom and will be open shortly in the USA. A dedicated web site (www.EDELIFEclinicaltrial.com) is available for interested families who want to learn more about the clinical trial and the conditions for enrolment. Beyond the initial English version, it will progressively be developed in German, French, Italian and Spanish.
"We are committed to supporting pregnant women with a confirmed diagnosis of XLHED in their treatment journey for their unborn baby boys," said Dr Deborah Szafir, Executive Vice President, Head of Medical and Patient Consumer Division at Pierre Fabre. "15 to 20 patients in the clinical trial may seem like a very small number, but given how rare the condition is, it is essential we facilitate the process of enrolment into the study as much as possible. This includes facilitating the pregnant women's travel to a nearby country if there is no investigational site open in their own country. We feel very proud at Pierre Fabre to support those with rare dermatologic diseases as we have already successfully done in infantile hemangiomas".
In the main study phase of the EDELIFE clinical trial, efficacy and safety of approximately 15 treated children will be assessed up to 6 months of age and safety of the mothers will be assessed up to 1 month after delivery. In the long-term follow-up phase, efficacy and safety of the treated children will be assessed up to 5 years of age. The main phase of the clinical study is expected to last until 2025.
The ER004 in XLHED program has received a wide range of regulatory support, including Breakthrough Therapy Designation in 2020 by the US Federal Drug Administration (FDA). Its clinical development also benefits from the European Medical Agency's (EMA) PRIME (PRIority MEdicines) program.

About XLHED
XLHED is a severe genetic disorder that affects the structure of the ectoderm, the most exterior part of the three primary germ layers formed during early embryonic life, from which the skin and its appendages are derived. XLHED is caused by mutations in EDA, a gene that encodes an important developmental signalling protein, EDA1. The absence of functional EDA1 in the ectoderm results in abnormal development of the skin, sweat glands, sebaceous glands, hair, oral cavity, and respiratory mucosal glands.
About ER004
ER004 is a pioneering in-utero therapy designed to replace the function of endogenous Ectodysplasin A1 (EDA1), a protein key to the normal development of ectodermal structures in the foetus. ER004 is a recombinant, soluble, and humanized form of EDA1 that is given as a single course treatment and delivered through intra-amniotic injections during the late stage of pregnancy. This approach has already demonstrated a promising potential in humans where it restored sweat gland function in three patients treated in this fashion by Prof. Holm Schneider at the University Hospital Erlangen in Germany. First results were published in the New England Journal of Medicine1 and in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology2 as well as featured in Nature Medicine's Research Highlights3.

SPRINGDALE -- Ozark Regional Transit has added six new Ford vans to its fleet, but likely won't be able to replace some of the other aging small- to medium-sized buses anytime soon, transit officials said Thursday.
The buses in question, known as cutaway vehicles, were bought in 2017 and are reaching the end of their life cycle as per the Federal Transit Administration, according to Joel Gardner, the transit agency's executive director.
Cutaway vehicles consist of a bus body attached to a small- to medium-sized truck or van chassis. A cutaway vehicle is smaller than a conventional bus while providing more space, particularly for wheelchairs, compared to other small- to medium-sized options.
"The problem with us actually having the conversation about picking up new vehicles is the backlog," Gardner told board members Thursday. "I've talked to two of the cutaway manufacturers and, realistically, if we were to place an order today it would be two to three years before we got any new vehicles."
Gardner said he was told the backlog is due to supply-chain issues and labor shortages.
"We're going to take a serious look at extending the life of the vehicles," Gardner said.
The chassis, bodies and interiors of the current buses are good, Gardner said, but most have already had the engines and transmissions replaced once.
Gardner said he and the staff will explore the cost of replacing the drivetrains and suspensions in the buses in-house as the parts fail. The other option is to send the buses to an outside provider that would overhaul them.
"They would go tip to tail all the way through," Gardner said. "Which means they would go ahead and do the engine and transmission replacement, they would do everything on it."
Both scenarios would be eligible for federal grant money, and Gardner said he's evaluating both options.
Gardner said one manufacturer he talked with has more than 700 vehicles on order and waiting to be produced. They are looking at one to two years out for delivery even if they were fully staffed and had all the parts, he said.
"We will probably hang on to these cutaways much longer than what the expectation is and just start replacing spring sets, rear axles, front steering components just to keep them on the road."
The board did not have a quorum Thursday so no official action was taken. | https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2022/jul/01/nwa-regional-transit-explores-options-as-backlog/ | 2022-07-01T08:18:07Z | https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2022/jul/01/nwa-regional-transit-explores-options-as-backlog/ | false |
APRA AMCOS today welcomes the completion of the free trade agreement between Aotearoa New Zealand and the European Union.
"This is a significant announcement for New Zealand on many fronts but the confirmation of the extension of the term of copyright is something that will benefit the entire creative community here in Aotearoa" says Anthony Healey, Head of APRA AMCOS’ New Zealand.
Under the free trade agreement announced today, New Zealand has agreed to extend copyright term by 20 years for authors, performers and producers. Copyright is a form of intellectual property right. It gives the person who creates an original work exclusive rights to copy, publish, publicly perform, transmit and adapt their material. The right is limited though and in New Zealand has it has been limited, generally to 50 years, while throughout the world, and in particular Europe, that protection has been for a period of 70 years. This change brings those rights enjoyed by New Zealand creators and producers in line with those enjoyed creators worldwide.
"It is important now that we make these amendments to our copyright framework quickly, as every day recordings fall into the public domain unfairly" says Healey
Songwriter and APRA writer director Bic Runga adds "to think that creators here in Aotearoa New Zealand have been afforded a lesser time frame in which to earn a living from their work than others around the world, is crazy. This is a major step from the government to agree to an extension and put us on a level playing field. If we want to play on a global stage these rights are critical."
New Zealand will have four years from entry into force of the Agreement to implement these changes to the Copyright Act 1994.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A Medal of Honor recipient from West Virginia who died this week has been chosen as the first inductee into the West Virginia Military Hall of Fame, Gov. Jim Justice said.
Hershel “Woody” Williams, 98, died Wednesday, and Justice said Thursday he had nominated Williams for the Hall of Fame. The West Virginia Veterans Council met Thursday and unanimously voted to induct Williams, Justice's office said in a news release.
Williams was America's last surviving World War II Medal of Honor recipient.
The Hall of Fame, established this year by the legislature, honors veterans from West Virginia who went above and beyond the call of duty on the battlefield and who continued to distinguish themselves in service after returning to the state, the release said.
Williams will lie in state at the state Capitol on Saturday with a state memorial service held there on Sunday. Justice ordered U.S. and state flags flown at half-staff on state facilities through Monday in memory of Williams, a native of Quiet Dell. | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Medal-of-Honor-recipient-to-be-inducted-into-Hall-17278470.php | 2022-07-01T08:22:39Z | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Medal-of-Honor-recipient-to-be-inducted-into-Hall-17278470.php | true |
Birmingham city centre redevelopment proposals on show
- Published
Proposals for a major redevelopment of part of Birmingham city centre have been revealed.
Developers want to demolish existing buildings along Smallbrook Queensway to make way for 1,800 new apartments.
There are also ambitions to open up and improve routes to the Chinese Quarter, Gay Village and the emerging Smithfield district.
A public consultation is now being held until 18 July ahead of developer CEG submitting formal plans to the council.
The new apartments would be contained in three new buildings on the side of the street which leads to the Bullring shopping centre.
And the proposals include the construction of a 44-storey building to the west of Hurst Street, a 56-storey building between Hurst Street and Wrottesley Street and a 48-storey building at the eastern end of the parade, including new homes to rent on the upper floors.
The ground floors would have a range of commercial uses including retail and food, owner CEG, which currently also owns Alpha Tower and Tricorn House in Birmingham, said.
CEG said it also hoped to introduce several green spaces:
- Creating Hurst Plaza, a primarily pedestrian area at the junction of Smallbrook Queensway and Hurst Street
- Wrottesley Steps, reconnecting Wrottesley Street with the Queensway through a pedestrianised public space and arcade
- And Smithfield Steps, improving the route from the Queensway down to Dudley Street and Pershore Street

By
Anthony Bucci, Ph.D.
The pharmaceutical and biotech industries face many challenges when selecting the appropriate stopper, seal, and vial combination for a drug product. Further compounding these challenges is the manufacturing capability of each component supplier. Lot to lot variation can result in components that had maintained container closure integrity (CCI) and visual acceptance during development unexpectedly failing during production. Therefore, it is important to take a system approach when selecting vial
container closure system (CCS) components and designing a fill finish process. To minimize the risk for sterility failure and maximize performance, it is essential to understand not just the process, but also the historical and trending performance of the selected parenteral packaging components. As a result, West has built the
DeltaCube™ Modeling Platform to facilitate data-driven selection and optimization of vial CCS components.
The DeltaCube™ Modeling Platform currently focuses on dimensional fit, computing at any desired stopper compression, the amount of metal available to crimp. This is known as the seal skirt overhang length (
SSOL). Based on the SSOL range and compression selected, a rapid evaluation of up to four combinations of stopper, seal, and vial can be made at one time. Additionally, as West has seen many times, assuming that a CCS used for a previous drug product will work for a new drug product can be a risky decision, especially when each product has very different storage conditions. The DeltaCube™ Modeling Platform can help here as well, computing the probability of maintaining the necessary SSOL range once the proper compression to maintain container closure integrity has been identified.
One important aspect of understanding CCS components is to work with your supplier and collect as much information as possible to aid stopper, seal, and vial selection. But how do you get this information, and how much are they willing to share? Relying on limited data sets, such as only those provided in component drawings, is risky. Drawings are limited in scope, displaying product specifications, but not real manufacturing data, and may not be a true representation of the component dimensional trends. Traditional stack-tolerance analyses, based on product drawings and engineering specifications, typically reveal one or more of the evaluated CCSs failing to meet the desired SSOL. Without the ability to quantify or estimate the probability of failing to meet the required SSOL range, it is difficult to properly gauge the risk associated with a CCS. The result is generally unexplained spikes in rejects over time, leading to potential destruction of finished product and lost revenue despite all CCS components being within specification.
Previously, there was no way to distinguish between components with the same specifications, leading to trial-and-error approaches which were time consuming and costly. With the DeltaCube™ Modeling Platform, you can quantify the risk of failing to meet a desired SSOL range for any combination of stopper, seal, and vial. This is done using a combination of West’s historical product data for each recommended component, as well as your own imported dimensional data. By using real data, the minor differences between similar vial CCS components for an individual drug product can be captured and properly evaluated to identify potential problems before they occur.
The DeltaCube™ Modeling Platform, through a big data systems approach, was developed to reduce risk, accelerate development, and reduce the need for rework. The tool incorporates West's 95+ years of containment experience in addition to historical stopper and seal dimensional data. The DeltaCube™ Modeling Platform also allows subscribers to upload their own component dimensional data, enabling transparent and informed decision making. Moreover, West component data is continually updated through its Quality Management Systems, ensuring that the most up-to-date data and statistical distributions are always available for all West recommended components.
West also provides support through testing services such as dimensional analysis, packaging material characterization, engineering fill-finish capabilities evaluation, residual seal force testing, and container closure integrity testing, to name a few.
By using the DeltaCube™ Modeling Platform you can make a faster decision on the best container closure system, allowing you to reduce the number of CCSs you need to test and reducing your process development timelines. In better understanding your components’ variabilities and the system fit, you reduce the chance of rework due to those variables. In addition, by using the DeltaCube™ Modeling Platform's unique snapshot in time approach for evaluating components, it is possible to compare component dimensional data over time, which can be used to anticipate, and prevent, spikes in product reject rates.

Last 2 Whitmer kidnap suspects will go to trial again; judge denies request to toss case
A federal judge on Thursday denied motions to acquit the remaining two suspects in the alleged plot to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, telling the men and their attorneys there was still enough evidence for the government to make a case against them in a second trial.
U.S. District Judge Robert Jonker informed Adam Fox, Barry Croft, their attorneys and government prosecutors that a start date for a second trial is tentatively set for Aug. 9.
“Based on the evidence from the trial, certainly a rational juror could draw inferences of guilt,” Jonker said.

Attorneys for Fox and Croft argued previous acquittals of Daniel Harris and Brandon Caserta in the initial trial were grounds enough to have their clients acquitted Thursday.
“I think the records produced in the trial showed a number of deficiencies difficult for the government to overcome,” said Christopher Gibbons, who is representing Fox.
Fox, whoGibbons painted as a lonely stoner who wasn’t capable of leading such a conspiracy in the first trial, sat next to his lawyers, dressed in an orange jumpsuit and cuffed at the wrists and ankles.
In April, a jury found Harris and Caserta not guilty of all charges levied against them, ending their detention after they, Fox, Croft and two men who ultimately pleaded guilty, Kaleb Franks and Ty Garbin, were arrested by FBI agents in October 2020. Croft is from Bear, Delaware; the other men are from Michigan.

But the jury couldn’t reach a verdict against Fox or Croft, leading to a mistrial. The government has signaled its intent to try the pair again.
Prosecutors have painted Fox as the conspiracy’s ringleader — which Gibbons argued against in the initial trial. He again said Fox’s involvement with meetings, training exercises and encrypted online chat rooms were a product of Fox’s association with an FBI informant known to the group as “Big Dan.”
“The record was very clear that the (confidential human source) known as Dan was being given clear direction by the FBI,” Gibbons argued Thursday.
“Adam Fox was merely on the receiving end of instructions to do and say things that would make him look like the leader.”
Croft’s attorney, Joshua Blanchard, also pointed to the previous acquittals as justification for Croft to go free, telling Jonker he didn’t believe there was enough evidence to convict Croft, based on the outcome of the first trial.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Nils Kessler argued, however, even “slight and circumstantial” evidence produced in the first trial was enough evidence of the existence of a conspiracy to kidnap Whitmer. He pointed to training sessions, audio recordings captured at meetings and the equipment Fox and Croft had — flex cuffs and bomb-making equipment, respectively — as items a jury could consider to be evidence of a conspiracy.
He also pushed against arguments of “entrapment,” or the idea that the men were led by undercover FBI agents and rogue informants to launch a conspiracy. Additionally, he argued, guilty pleas from Franks and Garbin should merit a second trial against Croft and Fox.
Both Franks and Garbin testified on the government’s behalf in the first trial. Garbin is currently serving a six-year sentence, while Franks has yet to receive a sentence.
Kessler argued the first case for the government with fellow U.S. Assistant Attorney Jonathan Roth. Roth withdrew from the case shortly after the initial verdict.
Roth, who was not required to provide any reason for withdrawing, was present at the Gerald R. Ford Federal Building in Grand Rapids on Thursday, but was not seen inside Jonker’s courtroom.
Jonker ultimately sided with government prosecutors, informing Fox and Croft they would be tried again.
“I completely understand the force of the (acquittal) argument,” Jonker told the defense. “I’m not sure the law addresses that practical urge.
“I think in most contexts, the government can go to trial again if it wants to.”

Lawyers from both sides said they don’t expect a second trial to take as long as the first one, which lasted about a month. Attorneys on both sides ballparked a two-week timeframe for the second trial.
Gibbons said he plans on again focusing his defense of Fox on the idea that he was entrapped by the government.
Blanchard said he would have to cancel a planned vacation, but ultimately agreed to the timeline presented by Jonker. Leaving the courthouse Thursday, he said the acquittals for Harris and Croft will cast a shadow over a second trial.
“The jury found that there wasn’t enough evidence that these other guys were involved,” Blanchard told reporters. “I think that’s pretty compelling that their case was weak.”
In the first trial, jurors were shown a variety of testimony, videos, audio recordings and chat room recordings, as well as the physical evidence the government admitted, including the rifles and equipment prosecutors purport were intended to be used in a plot to kidnap Whitmer.
In total, the government entered more than 400 exhibits of evidence.

The pandemic has been a harsh reality check for our country’s healthcare system, with 2021 being one of the hardest years that witnessed death and loss on a massive scale. The sharp surge in cases saw people scrambling for ICU beds, critical medicine and urgent medical attention, highlighting the gaps in the functioning of our healthcare system.
The Indian government spends about 1.35 per cent of the GDP on the healthcare systems while citizens bear almost 65 per cent of the healthcare cost. This is a huge financial burden that prevents millions of Indian’s to have access to quality healthcare facilities. As per a report by KPMG, about 75 per cent of India’s healthcare infrastructure and 74 per cent of doctors are found in urban areas, leaving about 73 per cent of people in rural areas lacking even primary healthcare. In addition to this, India also has a relatively low patient doctor ratio of 1.1445 compared to the WHO recommended ratio of 1:1000. Needless to say, with these numbers, India continues to remain largely underprepared to handle any health crisis – pandemic or otherwise!
Acknowledging the healthcare burden and the vastly disproportionate urban- rural divide, it is safe to assume that for long term and impactful change, the government and the private sector needs to work together. Public-private partnerships (PPP) in India has already worked, with good success, for sectors like tourism, education, energy and more. And while both the public and the private sectors have their advantages and fallacies, a strategic partnership that can get the best of both parties together, can actually be the answer to bridge the divide.
India faces real challenges in rural areas where access to healthcare facilities is very limited. According to a report by
Niti Aayog, 60% of medical infrastructure is densely populated across metropolitan cities. Addressing this, private hospital chains are increasingly expanding beyond the metros to tier-2 and -3 cities. Private players are also seeking accreditation and developing new healthcare models at an increasing rate. PPPs will also help address the shortage of skilled workers by establishing programmes to upskill the health workforce with the ability to adapt to technological advancements.With its expertise in utilising various healthcare technologies, the private sector can boost the efficiency of the healthcare system significantly. With the use of telemedicine facilities, it can help the sector in meeting the day-to-day requirements of primary healthcare centers in rural areas. It will help doctors in treating patients remotely and save their expenses. Furthermore, the PPP will allow to utilise technologies to collect, store and analyse health data of individuals in real-time which will help doctors in attending more patients in less time.Furthermore, the model will enable the private sector to add to the expertise of the public healthcare system. It can bring in-house and independent domain experts with good capabilities to the system. Experienced professionals can help in managing and running healthcare facilities efficiently. The government faces challenges on this front as well. Sometimes, despite having all the resources, it becomes difficult to find experts to manage the system well. It was evident during the pandemic in some areas. Smooth functioning of the facilities will help doctors in attending patients and treatment.Due to the competitive business environment, private players give adequate attention to adopting global norms and practices. They have resources and experience, but they lack the ability to implement them on the national level. It creates a gap in the availability of services. With the co-operation of the public sector, they can implement these practices on the ground and enhance the quality of services.
It is a known fact that the services of private players are costly. It is difficult for the low-income group to get treatment from such players. Even if a hospital is an expert in providing special treatment for a particular disease, a major part of the population cannot go to them for treatment due to high costs. The
PPP model works on a mass scale. It functions on low-margin models to create a greater impact. Hence, it can make healthcare services affordable while ensuring standard quality facilities.
Lack of funds has also been a problem before the public healthcare system. The PPP model can help in raising funds from private players who have a CSR budget. The amount can be utilised in improving healthcare facilities across the country, especially in rural areas. Developing new infrastructure, providing training to nurses, and acquiring new equipment will be easier. It will help doctors from both sectors in treating patients suffering from different diseases.
To ensure democratic access to healthcare services for everyone and meet the evolving needs and requirements of the public health challenges, the public and private sectors need to come together and create a suitable public health system. Doctor-patient ratio is a concern that needs urgent attention. There are several ways such as increasing medical colleges and seats to reach the standard ratio, but they can provide the solution only after a certain time in future. The PPP model can help in easing the problem on an immediate basis by enhancing the efficiency of the sector.

Two arrested as officers bust alleged stolen vehicle compound in Montreal's north end: police
Police say they arrested two people and seized 11 stolen trucks during a raid in Montreal's north end on June 12.
The first suspect, Maikol Richard Martinez Cabrera, was arrested in a parking lot near police station 42 in Saint-Leonard.
Police allege Cabrera was getting into a van that had been reported stolen.
"After checking with investigators from the Eastern Criminal Investigation Section, different elements led the attention of the officers to an address located in the north of the city," read a news release from police.
When officers arrived at that address, they found another man allegedly driving another stolen vehicle.
That second suspect, Firas Al Najem, was also arrested.
Following his arrest, police allege they found keys to the door of a nearby garage. After obtaining a search warrant for the garage, officers found nine other vehicles inside.
Police estimate the value of the allegedly stolen vehicles to be nearly $2 million.
The two suspects were brought to court the following day to face several charges, including conspiracy and possession of stolen goods over $5,000. | https://www.iheartradio.ca/cjad/news/two-arrested-as-officers-bust-alleged-stolen-vehicle-compound-in-montreal-s-north-end-police-1.18114050 | 2022-07-01T08:32:55Z | https://www.iheartradio.ca/cjad/news/two-arrested-as-officers-bust-alleged-stolen-vehicle-compound-in-montreal-s-north-end-police-1.18114050 | false |
A journey into space that demonstrates the smartwatch's military-grade toughness and optimized positioning system.
CUPERTINO, Calif., July 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Amazfit, a leading global smart wearables brand of Zepp Health (NYSE: ZEPP), recently sent its rugged outdoor GPS smartwatch, the Amazfit T-Rex 2, into space on a quest to prove its strength in extreme environments. The Amazfit T-Rex 2's space ride shows the brand leading by example with the spirit of "Up Your Game", while also fulfilling this watch's promise to inspire users to "Evolve Your Instinct". Amazfit believes that through the power of science and technology, there are infinite possibilities in life to be explored.
As the perfect companion for exciting outdoor adventures, the Amazfit T-Rex 2 has passed 15 military-grade tests including resistance to high and low pressure, extreme 70℃ heat and -40℃ cold, plus intense vibrations and shock – which were put to the ultimate test during the smartwatch's launch to space and return to land.
Beginning in the city of Sheffield in the United Kingdom, the Amazfit T-Rex 2 was sent into space on a lightweight spacecraft equipped with fully functional tracking and control systems, as well as an on-board camera to capture the most exciting highlights during the two and a half hour round-trip.
The smartwatch reached a peak altitude of about 113,000 feet (34.5 kilometers) and reached a top speed of over 180 miles per hour during the descent. Along with enduring intense air pressure of less than 0.2 percent of what we experience at sea level, the smartwatch also resisted freezing temperatures as cold as -64°C.
During this incredible trip, the Amazfit T-Rex 2's dual-band positioning and support for five satellite systems were both enabled to track its journey, while the Sent Into Space operating team on the ground each sported their own Amazfit T-Rex 2 to display their real-time movement directly on their watch, as they tracked the spacecraft during its return to Earth.
Once they retrieved the returned Amazfit T-Rex 2 from the landed craft, the Sent Into Space team reviewed the complete route the smartwatch had taken during its challenging mission to space, and acknowledged that the Amazfit T-Rex 2 had proved itself to be a true rugged outdoor GPS smartwatch.
Commenting on the space ride, one of the spacecraft technicians said, "There's a lot of smartwatches on the market but there's very few I'd be confident to take on one of our launches in Death Valley, or in the glaciers in Iceland, or on an aquatic recovery trip in the Pacific. I mean, this is a smartwatch that can go to space and come back working fine without a scratch."

Nathan Lyon stars as Australia crush Sri Lanka inside three days to win 1st Test by 10 wickets
Australian spinner Nathan Lyon dismissed four Sri Lankan batters in the second innings and got able support from part-time Travis Head, who also picked up four wickets to help the visitors beat Sri Lanka by 10 wickets in the first Test in Galle and go 1-0 up in the two-match series.
UP NEXT
Spinner Nathan Lyon starred with a match haul of nine wickets as Australia wrapped up the opening Test on Friday with a crushing victory over Sri Lanka before lunch on the third day.
The hosts were bundled out for 113 in their second innings allowing the Australians to seal a 10-wicket victory in their first over back at the crease in Galle.
Lyon, whose five-for helped bowl out Sri Lanka for 212 in the first innings, and fellow spinner Travis Head took four wickets each to send the hosts packing before the morning was over.
Related News
It was a huge victory for Australia, who suffered a 3-0 whitewash in Sri Lanka on their last tour in 2016.
Sri Lanka suffered a blow before play began when Angelo Mathews was ruled out due to Covid-19, with Oshada Fernando named his replacement.
Skipper Dimuth Karunaratne started strong, smashing four boundaries in the 17-run first over of the innings off Mitchell Starc.
Related News
But the tables soon turned when Lyon and fellow spinner Mitchell Swepson took charge.
Lyon got skipper Karunaratne caught behind for 23 after just 20 balls while Swepson trapped Pathum Nissanka lbw for 14.
The leg-spinner then got Oshada caught out in the 12th over as Sri Lanka slipped to 63-4.
Wickets kept tumbling with Sri Lanka's batsmen desperately trying to hit their way out of trouble.
Head, a left-handed batsman and an occasional off-spinner, struck twice in his first over to claim Dinesh Chandimal and Dhananjaya de Silva.
Swashbuckling opener David Warner brought an easy finish to formalities, hitting a four and a six off Ramesh Mendis to bring up the win in four balls.
Earlier in the day, fast bowler Asitha Fernando took Australia's last two first-innings wickets with the tourists adding eight to their overnight 313, for a commanding lead of 109.
Opener Usman Khawaja (71) and Cameron Green (77) stood out in Australia's first innings effort.
Ramesh Mendis took four wickets while debutant Jeffrey Vandersay took two.
The third day started early after abysmal weather shortened play on Thursday, with strong winds collapsing a spectator stand.
The second and final Test begins July 8 at the same venue.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Orange County deputies arrested a man they say lied about being a Disney employee in order to move things around, including a Star Wars R2-D2, in a Walt Disney World resort.
On May 31, deputies with the Orange County Sheriff's Office responded to the Swan Reserve Hotel on Epcot Resorts Boulevard. Once on scene, they reportedly found a man wearing clothes that could have him pass as an employee with a name tag.
According to the arrest affidavit, the man was wearing a high visibility orange work vest and had a Walt Disney World issued name tag with "David" inscribed, a deputy said.
He identified himself as 44-year-old David Rodgers, which turned out to be a partial lie. He later admitted to having the last name of Proudfoot.
Proudfoot raised concern when a security officer noticed him pushing a cart across Epcot Resorts Boulevard from the direction of the Swan hotel and onto Swan Reserve property.
Once deputies began investigating, Proudfoot told them he was employed at the Yacht club resort and even named a supervisor to refer to, the sheriff's office reports. However, Walt Disney Security had no record of his employment.
The sheriff's deputy transported Proudfoot to the Yacht Club resort to "retrieve his belongings," but he took the deputy through a range of different areas around the resort "that did not appear to be consistent with normal employee check-in procedures."
"At one point David took us up a stairwell that leads to the management offices," Deputy Chris Wrzesien said. "When I questioned David where we were going, he said 'Oh. I thought you wanted to speak to my manager to verify my employment.'"
When the two finally arrived at the locker room for employees, Proudfoot was unable to open his alleged locker with his items in it before the deputy asked him, again, if he had any proof of identification on him. At that point, Proudfoot presented his license that showed his true identity, the affidavit said.
Deputies took Proudfoot back to Swan Reserve where he admitted to Sgt. Steve Strickland that he moved an R2-D2 figure and a game machine.
"He told Strickland he had an application for Walt Disney World Security pending and was moving the items to show weaknesses in the security of the resorts in the hope of securing a better paying job at [Walt Disney World]," the affidavit shows.
Authorities said Proudfoot used a disguise to simulate a worker on the property and temporarily moved items valued between $6,000 and $10,000, therefor he was charged with two counts of third-degree grand theft, petit theft, obstruction of false information and scheme to fraud.
Proudfoot was booked into Orange County Corrections with a bond total of $8,150. | https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/crime/kissimmee-man-disney-employee-moving-items-orlando-arrested/67-8a757802-45ff-4922-aa44-8f3e956a0c0c | 2022-07-01T08:43:45Z | https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/crime/kissimmee-man-disney-employee-moving-items-orlando-arrested/67-8a757802-45ff-4922-aa44-8f3e956a0c0c | false |
A man has died following what police are treating as a hit and run.
The 21-year-old man was hit on Easter Road in Edinburgh at around 2.40am on Sunday June 19.
He was taken to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh but has since died.
Road Policing officers in Edinburgh confirmed that the 21-year-old man had died.
They said a 23-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the incident and an investigation remains ongoing.
Police have asked to speak to anyone who may have been in the area at the time.
Sergeant Paul Ewing, from the Edinburgh Road Policing team, said: “At this time, our thoughts are very much with the family and friends of the deceased.
“We are continuing our inquiries into the incident and would ask anyone who was in the area at the time and may have information to come forward. We’re also particularly keen to speak with two females who were seen near to an ATM at the bottom of Easter Road, around 2.30am.
“If you believe you can assist our inquiries, please call police on 101, quoting incident 0590 of Sunday June 19 2022.” | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/scotland/3450765/man-21-dies-following-hit-and-run-in-edinburgh/ | 2022-07-01T08:45:36Z | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/scotland/3450765/man-21-dies-following-hit-and-run-in-edinburgh/ | false |
Rescuers have found five more bodies after resuming clearing operations after a mudslide at a railroad construction site in India triggered by weeks of heavy downpours, officials said.
Soldiers joined more than 200 disaster response workers and police using earth-clearing equipment like bulldozers to rescue those buried under the debris in Noney, a town near Imphal, the capital of Manipur state.
But the terrain is making it difficult to move heavy equipment, said H. Guite, district magistrate, adding that he has asked for reinforcements.
Intermittent rain continues in the region where 19 bodies have been recovered so far after a hillock caved in and buried the railroad project area, Guite told The Associated Press.
Lt Gen R.P. Kalita, head of the army’s eastern command, visited the site.
He said 13 army soldiers and five civilians have been rescued from the debris of the entirely swept away railroad station, staff residential quarters and other infrastructure that was being built in the area.
The army also has set up a medical post at the site to help those found alive, Mr Kalita said.
Eighteen people with injuries have been taken to hospital, said Mr Guite.
He put the number of people still unaccounted for at around 50.
A flowing river has been blocked by the debris, creating a dam-like structure in the area, he said.
People living nearby have been asked to move to safe areas, media reports said.
Ten of the confirmed dead were members of the Territorial Army.
Because of a decades-old insurgency seeking a separate homeland for ethnic and tribal groups in the area, army personnel were there providing security for the railway officials.
Most of those carried off in the mudslide were sleeping when it hit the area early on Thursday.
Some survivors recalled being swept down by the gush of the hill debris, The Times of India daily cited Daichuipao, a resident, as saying.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he reviewed the situation with local authorities.
“Assured all possible support from the Centre (federal government),” he tweeted.
Continuous rainfall over the past three weeks has wreaked havoc across India’s northeast — which has eight states and 45 million people — and in neighbouring Bangladesh.
An estimated 200 people have been killed in heavy downpours and mudslides in states including Assam, Manipur, Tripura and Sikkim, while 42 people have died in Bangladesh since May 17.
Hundreds of thousands have been displaced.
Scientists say climate change is a factor behind the erratic, early rains that triggered the unprecedented floods.
Monsoon rains in South Asia typically begin in June, but torrential rain lashed northeastern India and Bangladesh as early as March this year.
With rising global temperatures due to climate change, experts say the monsoon season is becoming more variable, meaning that much of the rain that would typically fall throughout the season arrives in a shorter period. | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/uk-world/3450531/mudslide-leaves-16-dead-and-more-than-70-missing-in-northeast-india/ | 2022-07-01T08:46:01Z | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/uk-world/3450531/mudslide-leaves-16-dead-and-more-than-70-missing-in-northeast-india/ | true |
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A cyberattack on a software company has disrupted unemployment benefits and job seeking assistance for thousands of people in several states.
In Tennessee, the website for unemployment benefits remained down Thursday morning after the vendor, Geographic Solutions Inc., told the state Sunday that service would be interrupted. Some 12,000 Tennesseans rely on the unemployment program, and for now, they’re not getting their payments.
The company said that it expects Tennessee’s system to be back online before July 4.
“With a recession looming, it is unacceptable that Tennesseans cannot receive the unemployment benefits they deserve,” said state Republican Sen. Paul Bailey, commerce and labor committee chairman.
In a statement dated Wednesday evening, Geographic Solutions’ president said initial investigation findings indicate that no personal data was accessed and no data was removed from its network operations center.
The president, Paul Toomey, said his company identified “anomalous activity” on its network and immediately took the Tennessee system offline to halt the activity.
“With the help of third-party specialists, we are conducting a full investigation to determine the cause and scope of the incident,” Toomey said. “That investigation is still ongoing, and we are taking steps to help prevent this from happening again.”
Unemployment websites in several other states were affected too. In Louisiana, people seeking to file unemployment online are directed instead to use a call center instead. The website to file claims in Nebraska was taken offline and the state said it did not have an exact timeline for when it would be back up.
“Individuals cannot file for unemployment until the system is back online,” Nebraska Department of Labor spokeswoman Grace Johnson said in an email.
It’s still unclear if it was a ransomware attack or some other type of cyber incident that affected Geographic Solutions. Nor it is clear how many states are affected.
Geographic Solutions’ website was not working Thursday morning. The Florida-based company has said its clients include more than 35 states and territories.
Some state-run job seeking sites were also taken offline because of the attack, including Tennessee’s. Florida said it was temporarily waiving a job search requirement for those receiving unemployment payments. Texas created a new website for its job seekers with links to popular work search sites such as LinkedIn.
Nebraska said Geographic Solutions indicated that no user’s personal data was compromised. Florida said there were no indications any of its state systems were breached.
Bailey, the Tennessee lawmaker, said the state’s labor department needs a back-up plan, “so they are not completely dependent on a system proven to be unreliable.” He said the state should do “whatever it takes” to get people their unemployment benefits now and streamline the process to update the system with money set aside by state lawmakers.
The length of the potential outage is unknown. Texas said it anticipates its job-search sites to remain offline until early next week.
State governments, as well as their contractors, are often targets of cyber criminals. Nigerian online scam artists were particularly active in stealing increased unemployment aide at the peak of the coronavirus pandemic.
Ransomware attacks, in which criminals encrypt victims’ data and demand payment to return them to normal, continue to cause havoc on digital systems that provide critical government services. A recent ransomware attack on Costa Rica’s government caused teachers to go unpaid and caused chaos in the country’s health care system.
Last year, cybercriminals launched ransomware attacks in the U.S. that forced the shutdown of an oil pipeline that supplies the East Coast, halted production of the world’s largest meat-processing company and compromised a major software company that has thousands of customers around the world.
Despite prioritizing the problem, the U.S. government has had little luck holding major ransomware actors accountable. Many operate in or near Russia with impunity.
Allan Liska, an intelligence analyst at the cybersecurity firm Recorded Future, said an attack affecting those who have lost their jobs from obtaining unemployment benefits is a stark reminder of the huge effects cybercrime can have.
“The people who will be most adversely hurt by this are those with the fewest resources,” he said.

HONG KONG (AP) — Ng Koon-yau calmly pilots his small fishing boat through the azure waters of the South China Sea. The 79-year-old has been fishing ever since he can remember.
Ng and his 76-year-old brother Ng Koon-hee came to Hong Kong from Taishan in Guangdong province, across the border in the Chinese mainland, as youngsters in the 1950s. So did many others who settled in Hong Kong after the 1949 communist revolution, when the territory was a colony of Great Britain.
The move to Hong Kong was so long ago that the Ngs don't remember exactly when they arrived in Tai O, a remote and scenic fishing village on the west side of Hong Kong's Lantau Island.
They've worked side-by-side all along, largely unaffected by decades of political change, including campaigns that sometimes spilled into the territory from the Chinese mainland.
Many in Hong Kong worry that communist-ruled China is exerting ever more control over semi-autonomous Hong Kong, contrary to promises from Beijing to respect Hong Kong's civil liberties and its semi-autonomous status for 50 years after Britain handed the city to China 25 years ago, on July 1, 1997.
But Ng Kun-yau is fine with Beijing being in charge.
“Hong Kong is part of China, and I've never thought of moving anywhere else," he said. “I hope that China will make Hong Kong a better place, where everyone can prosper. For us in Tai O, we wouldn't think of moving away to live anywhere else."
Tai O's homes perched on stilts above its small harbor, are a picturesque remnant of skyscraper-studded Hong Kong's past. Hundreds of years ago, before the British colonists arrived in the mid-1800s, fishing was a way of life here and in other villages in the Pearl River Delta region.
But small-scale coastal fishing is a dying industry in Hong Kong.
The Ngs used to ply the seas in a big vessel, netting thousands of fish a day. Now they keep only a small boat and haul in small catches.
“Now there are fewer and fewer fish for us to catch. The waters in the Pearl River Delta and around Guangdong are so polluted, so there are fewer fish," Ng Koon-yau said.
Younger Hong Kongers are moving on.
“In the 1960s, there were more than 10,000 people living here, but the population has been gradually falling, with the young people going off to work in the city," Ng said.
“My sons have gone off to work in the city. Now it's just us old people, and only about 2,000-3,000 living here," he said.
Tourism is now a big business for Tai O’s remaining residents: Selling dried fish snacks and prawn sauce to visitors and running sightseeing boats. One of the attractions is to catch a sight of a pink dolphin. Dwindling like the Tai O villagers, some of the special dolphins are still left, sometimes breaking the sea's surface within view of the skyscrapers of the city. | https://www.mrt.com/news/article/Hong-Kong-fishermen-keep-old-ways-25-years-after-17278435.php | 2022-07-01T08:50:24Z | https://www.mrt.com/news/article/Hong-Kong-fishermen-keep-old-ways-25-years-after-17278435.php | false |
Saanich police search for suspicious men near site of – but unrelated to – BMO shootout
Police in Saanich – including heavily armed Emergency Response Team officers – were called to search for two suspicious men near Mt. Tolmie Park Thursday afternoon.
A witness described the men as "wearing army-type outfits" and possibly carrying a long gun, according to a news release from the Saanich Police Department.
Police described one of the men as in his 30s. He has a white beard and was wearing full camouflage and carrying a dark backpack and a beige case slung over his shoulder.
The other man is in his 20s, was wearing a "navy black camo top" and had dark-coloured hair and skin, police said.
Officers conducted ground searches for the men from Mt. Tolmie to McKenzie Avenue with the assistance of an RCMP helicopter, according to Saanich police.
The department tweeted around 5:30 p.m. that one man was in custody, but later clarified that that man's apprehension was unrelated to the search. As of 7:30 p.m., there was no indication from police that either of the two suspicious men had been located.
The area being searched is not far from where police shot and killed two men during an exchange of gunfire at a Bank of Montreal Branch on Shelbourne Street Tuesday.
Despite the proximity, police said there was no indication that the suspicious men being sought Thursday were associated with Tuesday's bank robbery.
That incident also resulted in six police officers being injured, three of whom remained in hospital Thursday.
Investigators said the two men killed during the shootout had not yet been identified Thursday, more than 48 hours after the incident took place. | https://www.iheartradio.ca/ctv-news-content/saanich-police-search-for-suspicious-men-near-site-of-but-unrelated-to-bmo-shootout-1.18116510 | 2022-07-01T08:53:12Z | https://www.iheartradio.ca/ctv-news-content/saanich-police-search-for-suspicious-men-near-site-of-but-unrelated-to-bmo-shootout-1.18116510 | false |

'I just don't see as fun a side to him': Lando Norris claims George Russell's move to Mercedes has taken away some of his personality due to pressure of taking on Lewis Hamilton as a team-mate
- Lando Norris and George Russell grew up competing against each other
- But Norris believes Russell's Mercedes move has taken away his fun side
- The McLaren star believes Russell has lost some of his personality in the process
- But Norris also admits that it is working for Russell in battle with Lewis Hamilton
Lando Norris believes George Russell's move to Mercedes has restricted him from being able to display his full personality.
Russell joined the constructors' champions from Williams at the start of 2022 to replace Valtteri Bottas as Lewis Hamilton's team-mate.
So far the Brit has enjoyed a relatively good start in the Mercedes hot seat, securing top-five finishes in the first nine races of the season in a car that is well off the pace of the Red Bulls and Ferraris, while also establishing a 34-point advantage over the seven-time world champion in the process as he sits fourth in the overall standings.
Lando Norris (right) believes his friend George Russell (left) has lost some of his personality
Norris though believes Russell's move has also forced him to cut a figure that restricts how much personality he can show, insisting the 24-year-old now carries a different vibe that has taken away his fun side.
'My manager, my trainer, my parents, have always tried to keep me as me, rather than try to shape me,' Norris said.
'I see other drivers get shaped more because of who they are with, the teams they are with, and I don't think that is a good thing. It takes away their personality.
Russell (left) has had to become more focused in his battle with Lewis Hamilton (right) in 2022
'Growing up with George for instance, was a lot of fun. He was a great person, but it is different at Mercedes – a different vibe and a different atmosphere. I just don't see as fun a side of him.
'George is a great person, and I feel like the personality he had a few years ago, he would be even more popular.
Norris though was keen to stress that he wasn't complaining about Russell's new approach, admitting his serious demeanour is working for him in an environment where he has to be at his most focused to take on the challenge as working with the ultra-quick Hamilton as a team-mate.
Norris and Russell have long enjoyed a positive relationship over their years competing
'I don't think it is Mercedes' fault but the pressure of being with Mercedes, and having Lewis [Hamilton] as a team-mate, is never going to be an easy thing,' he added.
'You don't want to be seen to be having a fun time and playing around, but on the other side there are no complaints because George is doing an amazing job this year, so it is working for him.'
Norris, Russell and Hamilton will all be looking to impress this weekend as they prepare for their home British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
Russell has recorded nine consecutive top-five finishes to open up the Formula One season
While Norris's McLaren looks unlikely to be quick enough to compete for a podium, Russell and Hamilton will have hopes of battling each other to secure a top three finish in front of their home fans.
Norris's claims came before he was involved in a separate battle before Sunday's main event... a space-hopper race with team-mate Daniel Ricciardo.
With defeat looking certain, Norris tried to cheat by running over the line, only for Ricciardo to then jokingly hit him in the face with the inflatable - prompting laughter from both. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/formulaone/article-10972543/Lando-Norris-claims-George-Russells-Mercedes-taken-away-personality.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-07-01T09:05:25Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/formulaone/article-10972543/Lando-Norris-claims-George-Russells-Mercedes-taken-away-personality.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true |
TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Palestinian authorities in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip systematically torture critics in detention, a practice that could amount to crimes against humanity, an international rights group said Friday.
Human Rights Watch called in its report for donor countries to cut off funding to Palestinian security forces that commit such crimes and urged the International Criminal Court to investigate.
The report alleged that Palestinian security forces “use solitary confinement and beatings, including whipping their feet, and force detainees into painful stress positions for prolonged periods, including hoisting their arms behind their backs with cables or rope, to punish and intimidate critics and opponents and elicit confessions.”

HRW's report comes a year after the death of Nizar Banat, an outspoken critic of the Palestinian Authority, whose family says he died after security forces stormed his residence in the middle of the night and beat him with metal batons. His death sparked weeks of protests against the PA, which governs parts of the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Palestinian security forces violently dispersed some of those protests..
Amnesty International said last week that the Palestinian Authority has failed to hold its security forces accountable for the death. Palestinian authorities arrested 14 officers last summer and are trying them in a military court, but have taken no action against top commanders.
“More than a year after beating to death Nizar Banat, the Palestinian Authority continues to arrest and torture critics and opponents,” said Omar Shakir, Israel and Palestine director at Human Rights Watch.
“Systematic abuse by the PA and Hamas forms a critical part of the repression of the Palestinian people."
The group listed Palestinians who it said had been arbitrarily arrested in the aftermath of Banat's death.
HRW said security forces are not held to account for the alleged torture and that given their systematic nature over many years, the practice could amount to crimes against humanity.

Palestine is part of the Convention Against Torture, which requires members to work to prevent torture.
The report also describes Israeli mistreatment and torture of Palestinian detainees in the West Bank, saying that no indictments have been issued against Israeli security forces despite hundreds of complaints made over the last 20 years. | https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/07/01/world/palestinians-torture-detainees-with-impunity-rights-group-says/ | 2022-07-01T09:05:43Z | https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/07/01/world/palestinians-torture-detainees-with-impunity-rights-group-says/ | false |

Special to the SentinelDo you know someone grieving the loss of a loved one? Do you feel helpless and not know how to help ease their suffering?
One thing that can be very helpful is to bring them a meal.
Typically, the shock of a sudden death or the exhaustion from a long illness makes it difficult for people to cook for themselves. There is tremendous fatigue and sadness and it can feel overwhelming to shop and cook.
Bringing food to those suffering is a tremendous gift not only to them, but it gives you something concrete to do when you also are grieving.
I have experienced many losses over the years and have found the free online company Meal Train, mealtrain.com, to be incredibly helpful.
You can easily set it up to invite others to join you in bringing meals.
I strongly advise making meals in containers that do not need to be returned. Grocery stores have lots of options for containers or you might have some at home that you don’t need back.
It can be stressful for grieving people to have to return dishes, so this makes it much easier.
Another piece of advice I would give is to make meals that can easily be frozen. Soups, stews, casseroles and pasta dishes are some items that can go into the freezer to be eaten another day, if needed. As the cook, you can double the recipe while keeping half at home for your family and bringing half to those in need.
Bagged salads and fresh fruit also are much appreciated.
Lastly, we all want to help when a death has occurred. However, we often aren’t sure how to reach out to the grieving family.
We don’t want to add any extra burdens, so we say things such as, “Let me know if you need anything.”
While this is well-intended, it is rarely followed up on by the grieving person. It’s too exhausting to reach back out to get help that is deeply needed.
Instead, try saying: “I’m going to the grocery store today. What can I get for you?” “I am going to mow my lawn this weekend, can I swing by and mow yours, too?”
These are concrete questions that let people know you are serious about helping.
One of the beautiful things about living in a smaller community is the genuine connections and concerns we have for each other. I encourage you to reach out and bring food and kindness to those hurting around you.
And be sure to give your loved ones an extra hug today, and let them know how much you care about them. | https://www.gjsentinel.com/all-things-food-a-thoughtful-meal-can-bring-comfort-during-grief/article_86582da6-f86b-11ec-a194-efed5fa70d1f.html | 2022-07-01T09:32:20Z | https://www.gjsentinel.com/all-things-food-a-thoughtful-meal-can-bring-comfort-during-grief/article_86582da6-f86b-11ec-a194-efed5fa70d1f.html | false |

New Zealand's Black Grace to Return to The Joyce Theater This August
The bill of three works highlights Ieremia’s distinct ability to fuse together power and sophistication to create a style wholly unique to Black Grace.
The Joyce Theater Foundation will welcome the return of New Zealand's Black Grace for a much-anticipated follow-up to their acclaimed 2019 Joyce debut. The company brings their boundless energy and distinct blend of contemporary and Indigenous South Pacific dance to a triple bill that will play The Joyce Theater from August 2-7. Tickets, ranging in price from $10-$55, can be purchased at www.Joyce.org, or by calling JoyceCharge at 212-242-0800. Please note: ticket prices are subject to change. The Joyce Theater is located at 175 Eighth Avenue at West 19th Street. For more information and to read about The Joyce Theater's detailed health and safety protocols, including required face-coverings and proof of vaccination policies, please visit www.Joyce.org.
Guided by the rich creative past of Founding Artistic Director Neil Ieremia (ONZM), Black Grace makes a triumphant return to The Joyce nearly three years after their debut at New York's home for international dance. Part of the company's 2022 tour, the bill of three works highlights Ieremia's distinct ability to fuse together power and sophistication to create a style wholly unique to Black Grace. A new work, inspired by the art of Samoan painter Fatu Feu'u reflects the vast array of influences used by both the artist and the company itself. Alongside a reimagining of Vivaldi's religious cantata Gloria, the bill is completed by a new rendition of one of the company's original works, Handgame, which shines a spotlight on live body percussion with the use of fa'ataupati-Samoan slap dance-and sasa, seated dance. Rich in tradition yet always with an eye toward innovation in movement, Black Grace is primed to take the Joyce stage by thunderous storm once more.
ABOUT BLACK GRACE
Black Grace is one of New Zealand's leading contemporary dance companies, founded by Neil Ieremia in 1995. Neil draws from his Samoan and New Zealand roots to create innovative dance works that reach across social, cultural, and generational barriers. The work itself is highly physical, rich in the storytelling traditions of the South Pacific and expressed with raw finesse, unique beauty, and power. The company features some of New Zealand's finest dancers and has toured internationally to Europe, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Australia, and New Caledonia. In 2004, Black Grace made its USA debut, performing a sold-out season at Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival, with a subsequent return to the Festival in 2005. Since then, the company has performed regularly throughout North America, earning audience and critical acclaim.
ABOUT The Joyce Theater
The Joyce Theater Foundation ("The Joyce," Executive Director, Linda Shelton), a non-profit organization, has proudly served the dance community for almost four decades. Under the direction of founders Cora Cahan and Eliot Feld, Ballet Tech Foundation acquired and renovated the Elgin Theater in Chelsea. Opening as The Joyce Theater in 1982, it was named in honor of Joyce Mertz, beloved daughter of LuEsther T. Mertz. It was LuEsther's clear, undaunted vision and abundant generosity that made it imaginable and ultimately possible to build the theater. Ownership was secured by The Joyce in 2015. The theater is one of the only theaters built by dancers for dance and has provided an intimate and elegant home for over 400 U.S.-based and international companies. The Joyce has also expanded its reach beyond its Chelsea home through off-site presentations at venues ranging in scope from Lincoln Center's David H. Koch Theater, to Brooklyn's Invisible Dog Art Center, and to outdoor programming in spaces such as Hudson River Park. To further support the creation of new work, The Joyce maintains longstanding commissioning and residency programs. Local students and teachers (K-12th grade) benefit from its school program, and family and adult audiences get closer to dance with access to artists. The Joyce's annual season of about 48 weeks of dance now includes over 340 performances - both digital and in-person - for audiences in excess of 150,000.
The Joyce Theater presents the return of New Zealand's Black Grace from August 2-7. The performance schedule is as follows: Tue-Wed 7:30pm; Thu-Sat 8pm; Sun 2pm. Tickets, ranging in price from $10-$55, can be purchased at www.Joyce.org, or by calling JoyceCharge at 212-242-0800. Please note: ticket prices are subject to change.
