NEWS SUMMARY
- Nuolivaara wind farm is the second wind project that World Kinect Energy Services (WKES) and wpd Europe have collaborated on in Finland, and the first to be located north of the Arctic Circle
- With a total capacity of 96.9 MW, WKES will manage the power output of the wind farm, while also acting as Balancing Responsible Party
- All Balancing Responsible Party (BRP) services related to production, consumption and bilateral trade will be delivered by WKES
- Nuolivaara wind farm power output will be structured to meet the baseload needs of two corporate off-takers
MIAMI, July 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The new Nuolivaara wind farm, which is scheduled to get operational within 2022, will serve as a key milestone in Finland's long-term sustainable energy program. A route-to-power purchase agreement (PPA) paved the way for the development of the wind project located in Nuolivaara, Finland – the first of its kind located north the Arctic circle.
The project is an extension of a partnership between energy and sustainability solutions provider, World Kinect Energy Services (WKES), and renewable energy developer and operator, wpd Europe (wpd).
It's the second PPA between the two parties and follows the development of the 188 MW Karhunnevankangas wind farm in the Österbotten region of western Finland last year.
Located 25km northeast of Kemijärvi, Finland, the new wind farm will generate a total capacity of 96.9 MW, reinforcing the nation's commitment to providing renewable energy solutions.
The completion of the project will coincide with the activation of the broader partnership between the two parties, which will see WKES route the physical output of the wind farm and nominate baseload volumes to the wind farm off-takers.
WKES will manage the residual power output according to pre-defined bespoke strategies towards the Nordic electricity exchange traded market, while also acting as Balancing Responsible Party for the wind farm.
All BRP services related to production, consumption and bilateral trade will be delivered by WKES, who will also have responsibility for the associated REMIT reporting.
Ben Bisenius, Head of PPA Origination at wpd, said: "The Nuolivaara wind farm project is our sixth in Finland and strengthens our commitment to growing renewable energy within the Finnish energy market.
"Having World Kinect Energy Services on board, using its expertise and knowledge of the local markets to negotiate the Route-to-Market PPA, has helped reinforce the Nuolivaara project, which is due for completion in July."
Stuart Donnelly, Senior Director, Global Renewable Energy Solutions, at World Kinect Energy Services, said: "We are excited to continue to support wpd europe as it further expands its wind farm projects in Finland and help lead the sustainable energy transition in Northern Europe."
"Sustainability is a key priority for us, and with our regional experience and knowledge of local markets, we are in a good position to deliver value to wpd and other renewable energy developers, as well as customers exploring renewable energy," he added.
As a leading energy management, energy supply, and sustainability company, WKES has supported the development and marketing of many onsite and utility-scale wind and solar projects.
The new wind farm features 17 Delta4000-series N163/5.7 wind turbines, designed for 5.7 MW output and manufactured by Nordex.
Headquartered in Miami, World Kinect Energy Services is a division of World Fuel Services, a global energy management company involved in providing supply fulfilment, energy procurement advisory services, and transaction and payment management solutions to commercial and industrial customers. We believe that sustainability, the environment, health and safety, diversity and social responsibility are critical to our long-term success, and we are focused on creating a more sustainable future through our actions, investments, and energy solutions. With 35 years of experience, World Kinect Energy Services is trusted by commercial and industrial customers worldwide.
For more information, call 305-428-8000 or visit www.world-kinect.com.
wpd develops and operates onshore and offshore wind farms and solar parks and is actively engaged in 28 countries around the world; the head office is in Bremen. The German company has already realized wind energy projects with around 2,400 wind turbines and an output of 5,150 MW and is planning further projects with a total of 12,300 MW onshore, 13,800 MW offshore, and 1,650 MWp solar energy.

XIAMEN, China, July 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- On June 29th, Antaisolar, the leading supplier of the whole industry chain in PV mounting system, held a new product launch online event. At this event, Antaisolar's new product Taiyang Roof, a building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) product, was officially released.
"As the whole society attaches importance to low-carbon development, the distributed PV market will usher in broader development opportunities, and the combination of PV and building plays an increasingly important part of the PV installation," Antaisolar's CEO Jasmine Huang said. "Antaisolar has developed its distributed PV market for many years and accumulated rich technical experience".
Based on the BIPV market demand, Antaisolar vigorously develops R&D to build a new BIPV product, Taiyang Roof, which is dedicated to propelling zero-carbon transformation of buildings. To solve pain points such as poor security, inconvenience, troublesome O&M, and bad durability of industrial and commercial rooftop PV, Taiyang Roof has comprehensively optimized performance. It is worth mentioning that, this online launch was relayed to three different labs to showcase Taiyang Roof's unique advantages in waterproofing, installation, and materials.
First, Taiyang Roof can achieve a 100% waterproof effect, and the waterproof components used in the product not only prevent water leakage, but also protect the building. Secondly, The whole installation process of Taiyang Roof consists of only three steps "Placed, Clamped, Buckled", and the O&M can be preventive, lightweight and customized. Finally, Taiyang Roof is made of a high-performance aluminum alloy, which has been experimentally proven to perform 20% better than that of China's national standards with light weight and high strength. These characteristics ensure the safety, reliability and stability of Taiyang Roof, making it not only meet architectural standards and aesthetics, but also reduce system costs by 20% and increase efficiency by 50%.
As an industry-leading BIPV product, Taiyang Roof is economical and environmentally friendly with high recycling efficiency and has a service life of up to 50 years with the excellent after-sales service provided by Antaisolar, achieving the same life as buildings. There is no doubt Taiyang roof is a preferred product for PV building solutions.
The launch of Taiyang Roof is significant for Antaisolar to promote green transformation of buildings. In the future, Antaisolar will keep committed to the BIPV industry, aimed at promoting a zero-carbon transition and facilitating the development of clean energy.

The three former Elmira Savings Banks in Ithaca have changed their maroon, gold and black logos to the red and white of Community Bank in recent days as a combination of two centuries-old banks has been completed.
The $82.8 million cash acquisition of the Elmira Savings Bank by Community Bank N.A., first announced in Oct. of 2021, was legally finalized in mid May. The 12 Elmira branches spread throughout the Finger Lakes Region—including three in the Ithaca area —are now officially part of the 220+-location Community Bank network and are under the Community Bank N.A. moniker.
The three converted area Elmira Savings bank branch locations are at 2300 Triphammer Road in the village of Lansing, and at 702 South Meadow Street and 602 West State Street in the city of Ithaca. There was already a Community Bank location at 200 East Buffalo Street.
“We are pleased to welcome the customers and employees of Elmira to Community Bank. Over the past 150 years, Elmira has developed a culture dedicated to exceptional customer service and meeting the banking needs of its communities. Community Bank shares these same values and looks forward to the opportunity to continue to serve Elmira’s customers,” stated President and Chief Executive Officer of Community Bank System Mark E. Tryniski in a statement announcing the merge completion.
Not all of the former ESBs were maintained; according to the press release, eight branch locations were added to the Community Bank total as a result of the merger. Elmira Savings Bank Corning, Erwin, Moravia and Watkins Glen locations merged with nearby Community branches, according to a Community Bank site listing its newest branch locations.
According to a New York State Department of Labor Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification notice, 33 employees will also be laid off as a result of the acquisition.
“Permanent separations affecting 33 employees will occur beginning on 5/13/2022 and will run through 7/7/2022,” stated the notice, which was made public on Jan. 27.
Community Bank, based in DeWitt, has locations spread throughout New England, New York and Pennsylvania and currently has more than $16.2 billion in financial assets, placing it among the country's 125 largest banking institutions.
ESB originally opened in 1826 in its namesake town, and has been in Ithaca for two decades. In 2007, ESB purchased two First Niagara Bank branches, increasing its Ithaca presence. Community Bank can also trace its origins to the nineteenth century; its predecessor, St. Lawrence County National Bank, was chartered in 1868.
Former Elmira Savings Bank customers were issued a “Welcome Kit” to help ease the transition, including information about branch hours and details, loan conversions, and Community Bank’s mobile banking system.
“The commitment of our collective employees was demonstrated time and again by their efforts to work through the challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure that the customers’ transition to Community Bank is as seamless as possible,” explained Tryniski in the press release.

To receive updates on the lawsuit, fill out the form:
https://claimyourloss.com/securities/riskified-ltd-loss-submission-form/?id=29402&from=4
This lawsuit is on behalf of all persons or entities who purchased Riskified Class A ordinary shares in or traceable to the Company's July 2021 initial public offering.
Shareholders interested in acting as a lead plaintiff representing the class of wronged shareholders have until July 1, 2022 to petition the court. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as a lead plaintiff.
According to a filed complaint, Riskified Ltd. issued materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) as Riskified expanded its user base, the quality of Riskified's machine learning platform had deteriorated (rather than improved as represented in documents issued in connection with the July 2021 initial public offering), because of, among other things, inaccuracies in the algorithms associated with onboarding new merchants and entering new geographies and industries; (ii) Riskified had expanded its customer base into industries with relatively high rates of fraud – including partnerships with cryptocurrency and remittance business – in which Riskified had limited experience and that this expansion has negatively impacted the effectiveness of Riskified's machine learning platform; (iii) as a result, Riskified was suffering from materially higher chargebacks and cost of revenue and depressed gross profits and gross profit margins during its third fiscal quarter of 2021; and (iv) thus, the representations in documents issued in connection with the July 2021 initial public offering regarding Riskified's historical financial and operational metrics and purported market opportunities did not accurately reflect the actual business, operations, and financial results and trajectory of Riskified prior to and at the time of the July 2021 initial public offering, and were materially false and misleading, and lacked a factual basis.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday agreed to hear a case that could dramatically change the way elections for Congress and the presidency are conducted by handing more power to state legislatures and blocking state courts from reviewing challenges to the procedures and results.
The justices will consider whether state courts, when finding violations of their state constitutions, can order changes to federal elections and the once-a-decade redrawing of congressional districts. The case probably will be argued in the fall.
“This case could profoundly alter the balance of power in states and prevent state courts and agencies from providing protections for people’s right to vote,” said Rick Hasen, a law professor at the University of California, Irvine. “There’s a wide range of ways the court could rule on this. Taken to its extreme, it would be a radical reworking of our system of running elections.”
In the most extreme example, lawyers said, if the Supreme Court were to rule that no entity besides state legislatures can set rules regarding federal elections, that could stop a governor from vetoing election bills or a state court from blocking rules that set up different voting hours in urban and rural precincts.
Jason Torchinsky, a Republican lawyer who wrote a legal brief urging the high court to take the case, said it is absurd to think the Supreme Court would ultimately allow that. He noted that as recently as 2015, the court agreed that legislatures do not have absolute power in elections, ruling that Arizona’s voter-approved redistricting commission could legally take the authority away from lawmakers to draw district lines.
“I don’t think you can take the theory as far as ‘the legislatures alone can do whatever they want,’” Torchinsky said. “The problem is we have these rogue state courts.”
The case, an appeal from North Carolina Republicans, challenges a state court ruling throwing out the congressional districts drawn by the General Assembly that seemingly would have made GOP candidates likely victors in 10 of the state’s 14 congressional districts.
The Supreme Court has never invoked what is known as the independent state legislature doctrine, but four of the court’s conservative justices have expressed interest in taking on the subject. One of them, Justice Clarence Thomas, was among three justices who advanced it in the Bush v. Gore case that settled the 2000 presidential election.
It only takes four of the nine justices to agree to hear a case. A majority of five is needed for an eventual decision.
The issue has arisen repeatedly in cases from North Carolina and Pennsylvania, where Democratic majorities on the states’ highest courts have invoked voting protections in their state constitutions to frustrate the plans of Republican-dominated legislatures.
The case comes as state courts have become increasingly involved in redistricting, the consequence of a 2019 decision in which the Supreme Court said federal courts could no longer handle claims of illegal partisan gerrymandering.
Initially, in cases in states such as North Carolina and Pennsylvania, that hurt Republicans and helped Democrats. But courts in Democratic-dominated states including Maryland and New York then threw out maps as Democratic gerrymanders, leaving Republicans with a slight edge at the end of the once-a-decade congressional redistricting process.
The high court already has another significant redistricting case on its to-do list for the fall, a reconsideration of how the Voting Rights Act requires majority-minority districts to be drawn to ensure marginalized groups have a chance at electing their preferred representatives.
But the North Carolina case has implications far beyond redistricting, The independent state legislative doctrine could also hold that state courts cannot stop legislatures from imposing any restrictions they want on congressional voting or even the selection of electors who choose the president of the United States.
North Carolina House Speaker Tim Moore, who filed the appeal to the high court, cheered the news that the case will be heard. “This case is not only critical to election integrity in North Carolina, but has implications for the security of elections nationwide,” Moore, a Republican, said in a statement.
Voting rights groups were furious.
“In a radical power grab, self-serving politicians want to defy our state’s highest court and impose illegal voting districts upon the people of North Carolina,” said Bob Phillips of Common Cause, North Carolina, which brought the lawsuit that overturned the GOP-drawn maps. “We will continue to stand up for the people of our state and nation as this case goes to the U.S. Supreme Court. We must stop this dangerous attack on our freedom to vote.”

The Summer I Turned Pretty: Big Differences Between The Book And Amazon TV Show
By Heidi Venable published
How different is the series from Jenny Han's book?
Jenny Han is a master of young adult romance, and it's no surprise that following Netflix's To All the Boys movie trilogy (and upcoming spinoff, XO Kitty), the author's original book series The Summer I Turned Pretty is getting similar treatment. Rather than a movie, Amazon's Prime Video developed Han's debut novel into the first season of a series, with the author serving as showrunner. The Summer I Turned Pretty TV show stayed pretty true to the source material, with some tweaks necessitated simply from translating the story to a different platform; however there were a few pretty big differences between the book and the series, so let's take a look at those.
For one thing, Jenny Han's book was told from Belly's first-person perspective. Since The Summer I Turned Pretty dealt so much with Belly's angst regarding the Fisher boys, the series expanded the stories of the other characters around her — particularly those of Laurel, Susannah and Steven — to give us their points of view. Events and characters were added to the current timeline rather than deal so much in flashbacks to past summers. Here are 6 big differences between The Summer I Turned Pretty book and TV series. (Book spoilers ahead!)
Jeremiah Was Straight In The Book
Quite a few aspects of Jenny Han's 2009 book were updated for the sake of inclusion, as the author told CinemaBlend that she wanted this series reflect the moment that we're living in. One of the ways she did that was by making Jeremiah Fisher bisexual in the Prime Video series. The younger Fisher brother proclaimed he was "equal opportunity" while flirting it up with a guy at a party, and he was clearly also attracted to the young women in Cousins (very much including Belly).
Speaking to diversity, the series cast Asian-American actors to portray the Conklin family, which was made possible in part by the To All the Boys series starring Lana Condor. Newcomer Lola Tung is infinitely likable (and sometimes painfully relatable) as Belly in her first ever role; Sean Kaufman plays her brother Steven; and Jackie Chung is her mother Laurel. Jenny Han also pointed out that Alfredo Narciso, who plays Cleveland, is Filipino. And speaking of Cleveland ...
Cleveland Was Not A Character From The Book
Laurel’s eventual love interest was added for the series — another benefit of switching out of the first-person narrative. Belly and Steven's mother had been divorced from their father for a lot longer in the book, so Laurel's Hallmark Movie-esque meet-cute with Cleveland, in which she insulted his novel in the bookstore, unaware that he was standing right behind her, was a cute addition.
Aside from providing a way for Laurel to dip her toes back into the waters of dating (and, as it happens, sex in a car), adding Cleveland as someone outside the family for Conrad (Christopher Briney) to open up to worked extremely well, and we got to see him process his mother's illness and changing feelings for Belly in a deeper way than the book characters commenting on "Conrad being moody again."
The Debutante Ball Was Added For The Amazon Series
A Debutante Ball seemed like a strange addition to a show so focused on a modern audience, especially given there was no such event in the book, and it really was a big focus for the entire season, with the preparations and the dates and the dance lessons. Even the characters worried about the event being steeped in patriarchal traditions, giving Susannah the opportunity to tell everyone how big of an emphasis was put on charitable giving, and there was even a female escort.
The ball seemed to at first serve as a way to show how Belly was the daughter Susannah never had, and her telling Laurel she wanted Belly to do it because it might be her only chance to see her in a white dress was our first indication that Susannah was sick. But the friends (?) Belly made through the event gave context and commentary to her dynamic with Jeremiah and Conrad, and provided new stories not in the book, such as Steven getting hustled in a high-stakes card game, and Belly and Taylor getting their clothes stolen after skinny dipping. Also, any excuse for a group dance number!
Belly Did Not Find The Infinity Necklace Until The Book’s Sequel
The development of the love triangle between Belly, Conrad and Jeremiah was moved up a little from the books' timeline (keep reading for more on that), and one major event from It's Not Summer Without You that made its way into The Summer I Turned Pretty was Belly finding the infinity necklace that Conrad had balked on giving her for her birthday. In the second book, she actually put the necklace on, knowing it had to be for her, only to have Conrad confront her about it later.
Susannah Did Not Agree To Seek Treatment In The Book
The book and the series started out the same regarding the return of Susannah's cancer, with Laurel trying to convince Susannah to talk to the boys, and Susannah insisting she wanted one last perfect summer. One last summer, because she was not going to go through treatment again, and her mind was made up. That doesn't change in the book, and Susannah dies before It's Not Summer Without You. With Jeremiah and Conrad convincing her to do the cancer trial, will Rachel Blanchard appear in Season 2?
The reveal of Susannah's cancer was also slightly different from the book. While it was foreshadowed in the source material, Belly wrote off Susannah's fatigue as sadness over her impending divorce. In the series, the adults talk about it pretty openly, and we can actually see when Conrad and Jeremiah start to realize something's not right. It all does come to a head the same way — with a big fight between the boys, although in the book it just happens in their backyard, rather than at the Debutante Ball.
Both Conrad And Jeremiah Escape The Friend Zone Way Quicker In The Series
With The Summer I Turned Pretty ultimately being about a love triangle, it's not a huge surprise that those aspects of the story developed quicker than in the books. The source material was more of a slow build, showing how her friendships with Conrad and Jeremiah had developed over the summers — and how different those relationships were. Belly was in love with Conrad, and Jeremiah was her best friend.
Belly's first kiss had been with Jeremiah during an unromantic game of Truth or Dare a previous summer — not the steamy pool kiss we saw on the Amazon show. And while Belly's love for Conrad was probably the worst-kept secret in Cousins, nothing happened between them in the first book — most certainly not Conrad telling Belly, "I do want you," before sharing the most perfect kiss on the beach. So it may not have been the same, but it was a damn good way to end Season 1.
The Summer I Turned Pretty was renewed for Season 2 ahead of the first season's premiere on Prime Video, so it will be interesting to see how the series continues to change from the events of It's Not Summer Without You and We'll Always Have Summer. Check out the first season with an Amazon Prime subscription.

Oldham abuse: Any professional negligence must be punished - MP
- Published
Social workers and officers found to be negligent in protecting children in Oldham from grooming gangs must face disciplinary action, MPs have urged.
A recent review found children in the town were failed by the agencies meant to protect them from sex abuse.
Olhdam West MP Jim McMahon said any evidence of failings by those examining the cases should be "reviewed".
The Home Office said it had ordered an inspection into how police handle group-based child sexual exploitation.
The report in June revealed that investigators had found structural flaws in Greater Manchester Police and Oldham Council's systems, which were meant to safeguard children.
A related independent inquiry, which was set up after allegations circulated on social media that the council was covering up what it knew about grooming gangs in the town, found no evidence of collusion.
However, at a stormy council meeting on Monday, which saw boos and heckles from the public gallery, Oldham Council's leader Amanda Chadderton said while it had not alleged "any misconduct in public office by council staff", the authority would work with police so that "should any misconduct be uncovered", it would take action.
'Let down'
Addressing the House of Commons in response to a question from Labour colleague and Oldham East MP Debbie Abrahams, Mr McMahon said any evidence of failings by professionals examining the cases should be "reviewed and revisited", regardless of whether they were still in their jobs or had left.
Ms Abrahams had asked Mr McMahon, who was Oldham Council leader from 2011 to 2016, if he wanted, "as I do, to be reassured that if there has been any negligence [by staff] in protecting these vulnerable children, then they should go through a disciplinary process?"
Mr McMahon said it was "quite clear" that victims had been "let down".
"Even with the passage of time, we need to make sure the perpetrators who carried out those disgraceful acts of abuse... feel the full weight of the law," he said.
"But, frankly, as leaders, we put our trust and confidence in professionals... to do the right thing and always step up to make sure nobody falls through the gap.
"And if there is any evidence that any professional reviewing those cases did not take the action that we'd all demand and expect then that absolutely has to be reviewed and revisited, whether they're currently in post or whether they have left post."
Minister for Safeguarding Rachel Maclean told the House the government had commissioned an inspection into "how police across England and Wales handle group-based child sexual exploitation".
"We expect findings from the inspection by the end of this year and I trust it will give us some much-needed assurance that the policing of these crimes has improved," she said.
"But make no mistake, should deficiencies be uncovered, we will do whatever it takes to address them." | https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-62007693 | 2022-07-01T10:32:48Z | https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-62007693 | true |
NEW YORK, July 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Jakubowitz Law announces that a securities fraud class action lawsuit has commenced on behalf of shareholders of First High-School Education Group Co., Ltd. (NYSE: FHS).
To receive updates on the lawsuit, fill out the form:
https://claimyourloss.com/securities/first-high-school-education-group-co-ltd-loss-submission-form/?id=29406&from=4
This lawsuit is on behalf of all persons or entities who purchased FHS American Depositary Shares in or traceable to the Company's March 2021 initial public offering.
Shareholders interested in acting as a lead plaintiff representing the class of wronged shareholders have until July 11, 2022 to petition the court. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as a lead plaintiff.
According to a filed complaint, First High-School Education Group Co., Ltd. issued materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (a) the new rules, regulations and policies to be implemented by the Chinese government following the Two Sessions parliamentary meetings were far more severe than represented to investors and posed a material adverse threat to the Company and its business; (b) contemplated Chinese regulations and rules regarding private education were leading to a slowdown of government approval to open new educational facilities which would have a negative effect on FHS's enrollment and growth; and (c) as a result, representations made in connection with the Company's initial public offering regarding FHS's historical financial and operational metrics and purported market opportunities did not accurately reflect the actual business, operations, and financial results and trajectory of the Company at the time of the initial public offering, and were materially false and misleading and lacked a factual basis.
Jakubowitz Law is vigorous in pursuit of justice for shareholders who have been the victim of securities fraud. Attorney advertising. Prior results do not guarantee similar outcomes.

Jarrod Wallace is sent off after dropping Knights gun Simi Sassagi on his HEAD as Edrick Lee scores FIVE tries to help Newcastle hammer the Gold Coast on another miserable night for Justin Holbrook
Jarrod Wallace ignited a melee after dropping Newcastle young gun Simi Sassagi on his head as Gold Coast's season slumped to a new low on Friday night.
With the game out of reach deep into the second half, Wallace lost his cool and dumped his 21-year-old opponent on his head as the Knights attacked the Titans' tryline.
The incident saw a huge coming together between both sets of players and a furious David Klemmer swung a retaliation punch at the Gold Coast prop.
Wallace was sent off for his shocking tackle, while Klemmer was sin binned for the final 10 minutes of the match.
It was a night to forget for Justin Holbrook's side as the Knights ran riot in a battle between two teams looking to avoid the wooden spoon.
Newcastle veteran Edrick Lee bagged five tries with a masterful performance while Dominic Young grabbed a hat trick of his own.

American basketball star Brittney Griner appeared in a Moscow-area court for trial 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.
Griner was arrested in February at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport. Police said she was carrying vape canisters with cannabis oil. 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.
The athlete's detention and trial come at an extraordinarily low point in Moscow-Washington relations. Griner was arrested 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.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov on Friday denied politics played a role in Griner's detention and prosecution.
"The facts are that the famous athlete was detained in possession of prohibited medication containing narcotic substances," Peskov told reporters. "In view of what I've said, it can't be politically motivated," he added.
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.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/national-international/trial-for-basketball-star-brittney-griner-begins-in-moscow-area-court/3287784/ | 2022-07-01T10:39:14Z | https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/national-international/trial-for-basketball-star-brittney-griner-begins-in-moscow-area-court/3287784/ | false |

Ohio mother arrested after kids found padlocked in apartment
NORWOOD, Ohio (WXIX/Gray News) - A mother was arrested after her children were found padlocked inside an apartment, according to court documents.
The documents state a caseworker went to the home for an unannounced visit.
Upon arrival, she saw a padlock on the outside of the door and heard children inside.
“I knocked on the door and noises stopped. After knocking again, the kids asked, ‘Who is it?’ and I stated ‘Children’s Services,’” the caseworker said in a statement.
She then asked the children if their mother was home and got no response.
The caseworker proceeded to call her supervisor and the police.
Nicole Jones, 29, was charged with two counts of child endangerment.
Tamara Cook, who lives next door to Jones, said she knew the children well and even offered to help.
Cook said she does not know the details behind the charges but did say she thinks there is more to the story.
“She’s got a padlock on the door, too, because the door doesn’t close,” Cook said. “I know that she’s asked the landlord to fix the door, and apparently, that hasn’t been done yet.”

Don't vent your anger on people of Aarrey: Uddhav Thackeray
Speaking on Thursday's developments, Mr. Thackeray said this was proposed in 2019 itself.
Meeting the press for the first time after his resignation as Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray asked the new government not to allow Metro shed in the Aarey forests land.
A day after sworn in as Chief Minister rebel leader Eknath Shinde reversed the Maha Vikas Aghadi government's decision to shift the Mumbai Metro shed project Kanjurmarg.
"You backstabbed me, but I request you to not vent out that anger on people of Mumbai by giving Aarey land to Metro. This will be hazardous for the environment. You have Centre and State governments now and you can use Kanjur Marg plot for this. Don't destroy Aarey forest," Mr. Thackeray said.
Speaking on Thursday's developments, Mr. Thackeray said this was proposed in 2019 itself. "Why didn't the BJP accept that then? And why now? Had BJP followed our agreement then, the experiment of 2019 would never have happened," Mr. Thackeray said.
"The duo that was sworn in yesterday, would have been in power in 2019 itself. Amit Shah should have listened to me. Had they done that BJP would have its chief minister at least for two and half years. Now the BJP wouldn't get its CM. I don't know what that party has achieved out of this?" quipped Mr. Thackeray.
Taking a dig at Mr. Shinde and the BJP, Mr. Thackeray said: "You are saying that you made a Sena worker as CM. But let me tell you that this CM is not of Sena. You cannot have Sena's CM by sidelining Shiv Sena."
He also reiterated Bal Thackeray's demand of right to recall an MLA. "Sena chief used to say that the people should have the right to call MLA back. I think this is the time to bring that in reality," Mr. Thackeray said.

(NewsNation) — Fourth of July fireworks are an annual tradition — but also a yearly concern, especially for states in the West facing drought conditions, which are prime for sparking wildfires. For the rest of America, inflation and the continued supply chain crisis may keep some cities dark this holiday weekend.
Given the historic heat wave and record drought across much of the U.S., fireworks could pose the biggest threat yet.
“The reality is, there is no safe way to discharge consumer fireworks,” St. Louis Fire Capt. Garon Mosby said.
Fireworks can easily set fires to their surroundings. In Los Angeles, illegal fireworks cause over $105 million in property damage every year.
But even official firework displays across America can’t get their hands on the goods.
The American Pyrotechnics Association said fireworks cost 35% more this year, with prices jacked up from the burden of overseas shipping.
“The demand is so high that it’s almost like a perfect storm,” Julie Heckman, executive director of the American Pyrotechnics Association, said, adding that not having enough crew to work the shows or rental trucks to transport materials have added to the crunch.
Overseas shipping, transportation in the U.S., rising insurance costs and labor shortages have led to canceled displays, along with demand for firework shows at concerts, sports stadiums and the Fourth of July holiday that largely were absent during the first two years of the pandemic, Heckman said.
China produces most of the professional-grade fireworks that shoot up into the air and produce colorful, dazzling bursts in various shapes. The shortage doesn’t lie in manufacturing, Heckman said, but in congestion at U.S. ports.
Heckman said some companies recently chartered about a dozen vessels, each carrying 200-250 containers of consumer-grade fireworks that are considered hazardous material, and shipped them to ports in Alabama and Louisiana to free up space at ports on the West Coast.
And there just aren’t enough truck drivers with hazmat licenses to bring them across the country, so cities like Phoenix, Arizona, are skipping out altogether.
And Flagstaff, Arizona, is settling for a laser-light show instead of explosives due to the threat of wildfire.
Three large wildfires skirted the mountainous city this spring alone, prompting hundreds of people to evacuate, closing down a major highway and destroying some homes.
“The decision was made early because we wanted people to be able to make plans with their families,” said Flagstaff city spokesperson Sarah Langley.
Many local jurisdictions have banned the use of fireworks amid a punishing drought, even with an early start of the annual rainy season that already has led to flooding in the U.S. Southwest. Fireworks always are prohibited in national forests.
A popular northern San Joaquin Valley fireworks show that in pre-pandemic times brought tens of thousands of people to Lake Don Pedro, California, also was canceled because of drought concerns, including the lake’s projected low level.
“The safety of our guests and being good stewards of the land entrusted to us are our highest priorities,” the Don Pedro Recreation Agency said in a statement.
Lompoc on California’s central coast and Castle Rock in Colorado canceled their pyrotechnic displays over worries about wildfires. Still, an Independence Eve fireworks show with live music by the Colorado Symphony is planned July 3 at Denver’s Civic Center Park.
The Southgate Mall in Missoula, Montana, canceled its annual Fourth of July celebration and fireworks show without giving a reason.
Elsewhere in the U.S., some North Carolina towns canceled displays after a recent fireworks-related explosion killed a man on a small farm and a large cache of fireworks were destroyed in a related fire.
In Minneapolis, a fireworks display over the Mississippi won’t be held because of staff shortages and construction at a nearby park.
Fire officials in some cities worry that the cancellations of community displays could prompt some people to ramp up their use of consumer-grade fireworks.
“We are typically worried about exposure of sparks and fire to homes and dry brush,” said Phoenix Fire spokesperson Capt. Evan Gammage. “We get so many calls around this time of year.”
But there are cities that are refusing to quit the Independence Day tradition.
Despite undergoing the most destructive wildfire season in New Mexico’s modern history, both Albuquerque and Santa Fe will still host their shows under the fire department’s supervision.

Prince Charles is looking to rebuild bridges with his son, Prince Harry, and daughter-in-law, Meghan Markle. The efforts are a result of wanting to be involved in the lives of his grandchildren.
ET recently sat down with royal expert Katie Nicholl, who explained the significance behind the recent emotional meeting between Harry and Meghan's children and their grandparents, Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, earlier this month.
"I think a lot of people don't don't see Charles as a doting grandfather, but he absolutely is," Nicholl told ET. "He's spent more time in recent years with the Cambridge grandchildren and he's very, very keen to have a close relationship with Meghan and Harry's children."
The private visit -- which came amid Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee celebrations -- was the first time Charles had seen his 3-year-old grandson, Archie, is some time, and was the very first time he met his 1-year-old granddaughter, Lili.
According to Nicholl, Charles deeply treasures "these times with his grandchildren" and he is "quite sad that there aren't enough of them with Archie and Lilibet."
"I do know that Charles absolutely wants to start healing that fractured relationship with Harry," Nicholl said, adding that the private meeting was likely "very much the beginning" of his efforts to mend fences, and "paved the way for some more conciliatory talks."
"He loves his son but he wants to forgive his son for everything. He wants to repair that relationship and move on," Nicholl said. "A big part of that is him wanting to be a grandfather and see those grandchildren. It may mean a few more transatlantic trips, but he wants to enjoy this experience."
During Harry and Meghan's trip back to the U.K., Queen Elizabeth was also introduced to Lili, who is her namesake, in person for the first time. Harry and Meghan had previously spent time with the queen in April.
"Being with her, it was great. It was just so nice to see her," Harry said during an interview with Today’s Hoda Kotb that same month. "She’s on great form. She’s always got a great sense of humor with me. It was really nice to catch up with her."
While in the U.K., Lili celebrated her milestone first birthday at her parent's old home at Frogmore Cottage. Harry and Meghan invited close family and friends over to their home -- where they recently renewed the lease at -- for an intimate, backyard picnic celebration.

SAN ANTONIO — The alleged driver of the tractor-trailer involved in the deadliest human smuggling incident in U.S. history made his first court appearance in federal court in San Antonio.
He and another U.S. citizen could face the death penalty for their role in the deaths of 53 people.
Court documents reviewed by KHOU 11 News provide a better picture of the moments leading up to that gruesome discovery in San Antonio.
Text messages sent by the alleged driver, Homero Zamorano, helped federal investigators track down those responsible.
According to the criminal complaint, Zamorano was caught on CBP cameras driving the 18-wheeler through a checkpoint near Encinal, TX. Hours after that photo was taken, law enforcement discovered 48 dead in the semi-truck. Five would later die at local hospitals including several children.
Zamorano was spotted by police in a nearby field pretending to be one of the survivors. He's now charged with smuggling leading to the deaths of 53 people.
RELATED: 4 arrested, charged in connection with deadly tractor-trailer smuggling incident in San Antonio
Christian Martinez is also in federal custody. He's the man who investigators say repeatedly texted Zamorano that day.
At 12:17 p.m. Martinez sends Zamorano a photo of a truck manifest.
Two minutes later at 12:19 p.m., Zamorano responds, "I go to same spot".
Martinez then sends him GPS coordinates of a location near Laredo, TX.
By 1:40 p.m. Martinez texts Zamorano, "Way bro", believed to be a typo for "where you at."
Martinez never hears back from Zamorano, repeatedly following up with "call me bro" and "wya" around 6:17 p.m.
By that time first responders had descended on the scene and Zamorano was under arrest.
RELATED: Authorities: Big rig driver in deadly human smuggling case pretended to be among the injured
Court docs reveal Martinez admitted to his role in the smuggling event. He told a confidential informant the driver did not know the A/C unit was not working on the truck.
The medical examiner's office in Bexar County is still working to ID victims but some families have already been notified in their home countries, including seven Guatemalans.
Manuel Tulul lost his 13-year-old son Wilmer in the trailer. He says they were charged $6,000 by smugglers to get his son to the U.S. He begged his son not to go.
"I told him, you stay here, I work and feed you, but he told me he needed to go struggle. He wanted his house, he wanted something," Manuel said.
Martinez and two other Mexicans charged in the smuggling cases are expected in court by the end of the week. | https://www.kvue.com/article/news/local/texas/texas-human-smuggling-deaths-text-messages-lead-to-drivers-accomplice/285-5f2eac0c-b6bd-4aa6-82c2-99cde8c5c1ad | 2022-07-01T10:59:02Z | https://www.kvue.com/article/news/local/texas/texas-human-smuggling-deaths-text-messages-lead-to-drivers-accomplice/285-5f2eac0c-b6bd-4aa6-82c2-99cde8c5c1ad | true |

BEIJING, July 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- For Chinese people, the past decade has been epic and inspirational. The country, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC) with Xi Jinping at its core, has made great endeavors in boosting its economy, deepening reforms, improving the rights of its people and acting as a responsible power globally. July 1 marks the 101st anniversary of the founding of the ruling CPC. What role has the Party played in China's development? Why has it been able to lead China to such great success? And what are the advantages of China's governance model? The Global Times collected views from five foreign leading experts, scholars and former diplomats.
Jeffrey Sachs, director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University
No countries should completely follow any other country's models because the circumstances, the culture, the history are different in the different places. And China, as a huge civilization, an enormous economy, an enormous population, is of course following a system with Chinese characteristics. And this is a mixed economy with a significant state sector, a significant private sector, and a significant effort at industrial policy for innovation and continuing technological development. It's a very distinctive model. It is China's own. But I think it gives lots of indications for how other countries, especially those that are poor and trying to catch up rapidly, can make advances.
I've seen that China has changed since my first visit in 1981. This has been more than 40 years, and China's continuing progress is absolutely remarkable. China went from a country that was filled with poverty to a remarkably prosperous country. And I always so much have benefited from seeing this remarkable progress and also learning from how China succeeded because the lessons from China are very relevant for other regions of the world, such as Africa today which is still with great poverty, but also with tremendous potential based on the kinds of strategies that China used.
Ali el-Hefny, Egypt's former ambassador to China and former deputy foreign minister
If it wasn't for the CPC, China would have never achieved the remarkable economic development that you are witnessing. China is one of the oldest civilizations in the history of mankind, and it's very sophisticated. The society is a very rich society. So the idea of good government has been always there and the Chinese leaders and the CPC all work always in such a way that they improve good governance.
I always think that as long as you have your people at the center of your attention as the ruling party, as long as you have the citizens at the center of all those efforts, you are destined to succeed. You are destined to achieve your dream and to turn it into a reality.
The CPC was instrumental. It played an instrumental role in leading all this change: China has become the first power worldwide as far as trade is concerned. China has become the second most important economic power in modern times. China is by far more advanced in the field of scientific research compared to all the other developed nations. So it's a country that has laid successfully the foundation for a brighter future for the nation and for its people.
Ong Tee Keat, chairman of the Centre for New Inclusive Asia and former transport minister of Malaysian
From my personal observation, China's leaps and bounds in the past four decades are wedded to its people-centric governance. The ruling party, CPC, has been staying true to its founding role as the custodian of the people's wellbeing. It has the gumption to innovate its own formula of governance premised on the people's aspirations and the nation's priorities at different times. The CPC's bold decision to usher in the era of reform and opening-up is a case in point. Its pragmatic corrective nature keeps the party abreast with the changing times and challenges.
In the Chinese perspective, essence of democracy lies in the people's involvement in the policy formulation at various tiers of government, and not the multi-party election per se. Its mode of governance is more result-oriented.
Patrick Mackerras, Australian sinologist and Emeritus Professor at Griffith University
It is the CPC that has given leadership to the country and held it together, giving it stability that many other countries lack. I think that has been a major contributor to China's successes, in the economic, diplomatic, technological and other fields. Without that leadership, I very much doubt that China could have made such great achievements in the past century.
It is true that the CPC has always adhered to putting people first. For example, its record in eliminating absolute poverty is most certainly the best in the world. It has now eliminated absolute poverty. It is true that it depends to some extent on how one defines absolute poverty, but the government has made perfectly clear where the boundary for absolute poverty lies.
If one compares with African countries or a big and rising country like India, then it is clear that China's record is outstanding. And it's not only absolute poverty. There are many other benchmarks that define the human condition. These include literacy, food intakes, standards of health, maternity mortality and infant mortality rates and gender equity.
Peter Walker, speaker on China-US relations and author of the book Powerful, Different, Equal: Overcoming the Misconceptions and Differences between China and the US
In China, the party is made up especially at the most senior levels of very highly educated and experienced people, they make long-term decisions in terms of investment. So if you look at 2025, the investment in cutting-edge technologies, in terms of energy and microchips and renewables - all of those things - China has made 10-year, 20-year commitments, and you can't do that in a governance model where you have different parties coming in and changing direction.
And then China is also very good at executing policy. I spent a lot of time in my book with people who were involved in the 5-year planning process. And it's very thorough when that planning process is done, which is top down and bottoms up, syndicated at every industry and syndicated in every province, you have agreed to direction and goals and key performance indicators that everybody follows.
So, when China sets out to deliver strong economic growth or to make advances in science, it's because they set out to do it. They put the resources behind it to do it, and they delivered. I think China's progress over the last 10 years has been nothing short of amazing. I think it's likely to continue.

LUXEMBOURG, July 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Infinite Reality (iR), the Metaverse entertainment and innovation company, announced today a strategic relationship with the University of Luxembourg's Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT) to introduce a global, open metaverse, from the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. This is a significant piece of the company's European expansion plans.
Benefitting from the Grand Duchy's digital capacities and the country's wide range of business support, this initiative, which is supported by Luxembourg's national innovation agency Luxinnovation, seeks to secure Luxembourg as the center of Metaverse innovation in Europe. Inline with its forward-looking approach, the Luxembourg Ministry of the Economy strives to seize the latest technological developments to achieve the digital economy of tomorrow.
Led by Infinite Reality, this bold global initiative will develop a Metaverse experience where creators have the ultimate control over their own monetization potential. With this initiative, iR is set to become the first user-friendly Metaverse that empowers the individuals on the platform by giving them direct access to potential brand partners. This open Metaverse will allow major global brands, start-ups, local communities, universities, and cutting-edge research centers, to use the platform freely, fostering innovation, creation, and global responsibility.
As a first initiative in Luxembourg, iR intends to work with SnT to offer a Metaverse sandbox that can be used by local organizations to explore this disruptive technology. For this Metaverse sandbox, the project will build a digital twin of an area of Luxembourg City that companies and public actors can explore, looking for multiple working opportunities. In addition, these potential partners would have the opportunity to create their own digital twins for specific metaverse experiments with high-level support and resources from both iR and SnT.
"Infinite Reality has a bold vision for a future with an open Metaverse, and strong relationships with like-minded strategic partners in Luxembourg will be the key to our success. We have a shared interest in using digital innovation to enhance daily life and sustainable development, which we can do by transforming Metaverse creation and innovation in Europe," says John Acunto, co-founder and CEO of Infinite Reality.
"The Metaverse is full of potential, and we are eager to tackle the technical research challenges together with iR to make the open Metaverse a reality. We are pleased to act as strategic research partners as iR builds up their operation in Europe from Luxembourg," said Prof. Björn Ottersten, director of SnT.
iR CEO John Acunto presented insights into the transformative effect Metaverse will have on our daily lives as a keynote speaker at the ICT Spring Global Tech Conference in Luxembourg.
Infinite Reality is fostering a revolution of data, commerce, online authenticity, and digital transparency. Our vision of an open Metaverse makes each brand, creator, and fan the master of their own internet experience, their own data, the ways in which they distribute content and sell products, and the ways in which they interact with one another. iR provides the tools and services that companies and creators need to develop compelling open Metaverse experiences. Our Metaverse Empowerment Group advises, manages, designs, and oversees these custom features leveraging our expert internal and creator community resources. iR's Entertainment division, anchored by Thunder Studios, provides production, broadcasting, and streaming services to the world's best talent, brands, and creators. Infinite Reality has all of the resources to seamlessly create and broadcast content into and from the Metaverse. For more information visit theinfinitereality.com.

Germany, Nigeria to sign accord on returning Benin Bronzes
BERLIN (AP) - Germany is set to sign an agreement in Nigeria on Friday paving the way for the return of important sculptures known as the Benin Bronzes that were taken from Africa in the late 19th century.
Governments and museums in Europe and North America have increasingly sought to resolve ownership disputes over objects that were looted during colonial times.
A British colonial expedition stole the bas-relief Bronzes along with a vast number of other treasures from the royal palace of the Kingdom of Benin in 1897.
The Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation, an authority that oversees many of Berlin´s museums, announced last year that it was beginning formal negotiations on returning pieces that are in its collection.
The memorandum of understanding will be signed in Berlin by German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock and Culture Minister Claudia Roth, as well as their Culture Minister Lai Mohammed and Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Zubairo Dada.
Final details of the restitution have yet to be announced, but the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation says it expects to keep some of the Bronzes on loan from Nigeria.
Last year, the Smithsonian´s National Museum of African Art in Washington, D.C., removed 10 Benin Bronze pieces from display and committed to repatriating them to Nigeria. Other museums have also begun discussions about returning the objects.
Many of the objects remain in the British Museum, which has resisted calls to return them. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-10972699/Germany-Nigeria-sign-accord-returning-Benin-Bronzes.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-07-01T11:03:21Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-10972699/Germany-Nigeria-sign-accord-returning-Benin-Bronzes.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false |

A man wanted for more than 20 charges in Coos County, including two counts of attempted murder, was arrested Monday in Eugene, but not before leading officers on a chase that lasted close to two hours.
Leslie Clarence Bennett III was taken into custody in Eugene after running from officers who tried to arrest him on warrants from Coos County.
After finding out where Bennett was located in northwest Eugene, officers went to the area, but Bennett ran on foot, jumped into the Williamette River and began swimming downstream. He was able to swim to an island in the river, but jumped back into the water and tried to swim away when officers arrived by boat.
While he was still in the water being followed by the boat, officers told Bennett he was under arrest, but he still refused to give up.
Bennett was finally arrested in the water, several thousand feet from where he first entered almost two hours after the chase began.
He was taken into custody and will be returned to Coos County to face 24 charges, including the two counts of second-degree attempted murder, four counts of kidnapping, four counts of coercion, two counts of menacing, three counts of strangulation, four counts of fourth-degree assault, and one count each of burglary, second-degree assault, tampering with a witness, recklessly endangering another person, and endangering a person protected by a the Family Abuse Prevention Act.
According to court records, Bennett was arraigned March 28 on 17 charges related to incidents earlier in March. He was released from custody April 4 and ordered to check in with the court the next day, but he did not show up.
He was later indicted on seven additional charges.
Running from officers is not new for Bennett, who did the same thing last week when officers in North Bend attempted to arrest him on a restraining order violation and warrants.
In that case, he fled on foot into the woods and was able to avoid officers. But his attempt to avoid police lasted less than two weeks when he was finally taken into custody Monday.
Bennett was checked out at a hospital in Eugene before being taken to the Eugene Police headquarters.
According to online records, he was transferred to the Coos County Jail on Tuesday. | https://theworldlink.com/news/local/man-wanted-for-attempted-murder-arrested-in-eugene/article_d78cfb64-f7e6-11ec-a7df-cb0e4c654ce7.html | 2022-07-01T11:08:56Z | https://theworldlink.com/news/local/man-wanted-for-attempted-murder-arrested-in-eugene/article_d78cfb64-f7e6-11ec-a7df-cb0e4c654ce7.html | false |

Homer-happy Pirates hope power surge continues vs. Brewers
The Pittsburgh Pirates found a winning formula the past two games following a five-game losing streak, but it's one they will surely have a hard time continuing Friday in the second game of a four-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers.
Michael Perez hit three homers in the series opener Thursday as the Pirates held on for an 8-7 win. The previous game, Bryan Reynolds homered three times in a win by the same score over the Washington Nationals.
"Hopefully, the three-homer train just keeps getting passed along," Pittsburgh pitcher JT Brubaker said.
Only one other time in major league history did teammates produce three-homer games in consecutive contests. The Atlanta Braves accomplished the feat in September 2020.
Overall, the Pirates hit five homers Thursday, one day after hitting four. They finished June with 44 long balls, their second-highest total ever in a month, many of them by young players.
"We've talked all along -- the kids are going to have to contribute," Pittsburgh manager Derek Shelton said.
The homers haven't always translated to wins -- Pittsburgh went 10-18 in June -- but it helps to at least keep things close. The Pirates have played in 45 games decided by two or fewer runs, including each of the past eight contests.
Milwaukee, in close competition with the St. Louis Cardinals for the National League Central lead, had won four in a row before Thursday and just missed matching its longest winning streak of the season. The Brewers scored three runs in the ninth before leaving the tying and go-ahead runs on base.
"It was homers that hurt us," Milwaukee manager Craig Counsell said.
The Brewers have mostly had their way with Pittsburgh this season. They went 6-0 against the Pirates during two April series and were 8-0 in the head-to-head series dating to last season before their rally fell short Thursday.
Milwaukee right-hander Corbin Burnes (6-4, 2.41 ERA) is scheduled to start Friday opposite Pittsburgh right-hander Roansy Contreras (2-1, 2.76).
Contreras, 22, is having a strong rookie season. His ERA ranks first among rookies with at last seven starts. He eased in by joining the bullpen, but since joining the rotation May 24, he is 1-1 with a 2.60 ERA, 32 strikeouts and 16 walks in 34 2/3 innings.
"I love when he attacks hitters," Pirates infielder Diego Castillo said. "He goes up there and he doesn't care who's hitting. He forgets about that. ... He's going to attack with all his power. And we believe in him a lot because the confidence he's got on the mound is amazing."
Contreras did not get a decision Sunday at Tampa Bay after he allowed one run in five innings.
Contreras will be making his first career start against the Brewers. He pitched three innings of relief against them on April 19, giving up one run.
Burnes has won his past three starts while pitching to a 2.18 ERA in that stretch. He is coming off a win Saturday against the Toronto Blue Jays when he allowed three runs and three hits in 7 2/3 innings with nine strikeouts and two walks.
"He's been great in the vast majority of his starts," Counsell said. "It's a stopper. It's length in the game. It's zeros.
"When you have a guy like that, you know when his turn is coming up that you're going to get a really good effort and you're going to get deep into a game and you're going to get zeros."
Against the Pirates, Burnes is 5-0 with a 2.78 ERA in 17 career appearances, five of them starts. That includes a gem on April 19, a 5-2 win in which he gave up two runs and four hits in seven innings with 10 strikeouts and no walks.

MOSCOW, July 1 (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin told Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi that Russia is still a reliable producer and supplier of grains, fertilizers and energy, the Kremlin said in a readout of a phone call between the two leaders on Friday.
In detailed discussions on the global food market, Putin "drew attention to the systemic mistakes made by a number of countries that have disrupted free trade architecture in food goods and triggered significant rises in their prices," the Kremlin said. (Reporting by Reuters; Editing by Jan Harvey)

French prosecutors open probe of Groupe Castel in CAR -source
PARIS, July 1 (Reuters) - French anti-terror prosecutors have opened an investigation into allegations of potential complicity in war crimes made against Groupe Castel in the Central African Republic, a source close to the matter told Reuters on Friday.
The local unit of the French food and beverage group is suspected of having made payments to a local militia, the source said, confirming a statement made by non-governmental organization The Sentry.
Groupe Castel was not immediately available for comment.
The probe opened in Paris does not formally target the group or executives, but was opened "against X," which allows prosecutors to investigate in all directions.

GENEVA (AP) — Streaming service Amazon will broadcast some live Champions League games in Britain for the first time when the competition expands in 2024.
Amazon said Friday it secured rights to the top pick of the Tuesday games each week from the new expanded league stage through to the semifinals — a total of 16 each season — for the three years from 2024-27.
The deal to show Tuesday games on the Prime Video channel is similar to Amazon’s current Champions League rights in Germany and Italy through the 2023-24 season. Amazon also shows some English Premier League games each December.
“Amazon has ambitious plans across the global sporting industry and we look forward to the innovative ways in which it will broadcast European club football in the U.K. market,” UEFA marketing director Guy-Laurent Epstein said in a statement published by the company.
The value of Amazon’s deal was not disclosed, though the total value of UK rights is reportedly about 1.4 billion pounds ($1.7 billion).
Most live rights, including the Europa League and Europa Conference League, have been retained by BT Sport, which said it is paying 305 million pounds ($368 million) per season. Free-to-air state broadcaster BBC gets a new Champions League highlights show on Wednesdays.
UEFA has opted for a broader strategy in its most valuable market for the next period, when the Champions League will have more teams, more games and more matchday weeks — and likely a fifth Premier League team.
In 2024, the Champions League format changes to an eight-round league stage of 36 teams replacing traditional six-round groups featuring a total of 32 teams. The current group stage ends in December, whereas the new format will have games in January as well. Extra entries will go to two countries which had the best record in the previous season’s European competitions.
The knockout stage will start with a new playoff round in February ahead of the round of 16 in March.
The changes agreed by UEFA in May have created a total slate of 189 games in each Champions League season instead of the current 125 games.
A total revenue rise of about 40% across all UEFA club competitions per season was predicted this year by the European Club Association, though that figure was based on an expected 10-round league stage.
However, the reported rights increase is about 15% in the U.K.
UEFA has also prioritized its French broadcast deal and L'Equipe reported Canal+ has sealed those rights for about 480 million euros ($500 million) per season. Games could be sold in a sub-licensing deal with beIN Sports Group. Both broadcasters are screening Champions League games in the 2021-24 cycle.

Two leaders who both face domestic economic challenges are shifting some of the focus of their Great Power competition to a race over whose country’s growth is stronger.
Over the past month, President Biden twice publicly stated that the U.S. economy might grow faster this year than China’s for the first time since 1976. The statements, which the White House said were based on independent projections, have struck a nerve in Beijing, according to policy advisers and Chinese economists who consult with the government.

Man accused of murder, attempted rape and robbery of Zara Aleena in court
Ms Aleena, a law graduate, died in the early hours of Sunday.
A man has been remanded in custody after appearing in court charged with murdering Zara Aleena.
Jordan McSweeney, of Dagenham, east London, allegedly kicked and stamped on the 35-year-old as she walked home from a night out in Ilford, east London, in the early hours of Sunday.
The 29-year-old defendant, who is also accused of robbing the law graduate of her mobile phone, keys and handbag, and attempted penetration without consent, appeared at the Old Bailey on Friday morning.
Ms Aleena was found bleeding and struggling to breathe with serious head injuries in a driveway in Cranbrook Road, Ilford, the court was told.
She was dragged on to the driveway before being kicked and stamped on, prosecutors allege.
A post-mortem examination found she had suffered multiple serious injuries.
McSweeney appeared via video link from HMP Thameside wearing a green jumper.
He was seen covering his face with his hands ahead of the hearing before sitting back in his chair.
He later pulled his jumper up over his face and fiddled with the microphone.
McSweeney spoke only to confirm his name and date of birth.
He will next appear at the Old Bailey on September 30 for a plea hearing.

Japan warns on 'interests' after Russia gas project decree
Issued on: Modified:
Tokyo (AFP) – Japan's energy "interests must not be undermined", Tokyo said Friday, after Moscow issued a decree transferring operations of a key oil and gas project to a new Russian company.
Japanese trading houses Mitsui and Mitsubishi Corp own 12.5 and 10 percent stakes respectively in the Sakhalin-2 project, but the future of their investments appears uncertain after the Russian move.
The decree calls for the establishment of a new Russian operator and requires existing foreign shareholders to apply for the right to participate in the new firm, with Moscow deciding on their inclusion.
Japanese government spokesman Seiji Kihara said Friday morning that Tokyo was "closely examining the impact on liquified natural gas (LNG) imports".
"Speaking generally, we believe our resource interests must not be undermined," he added, declining to give further comment.
Later Friday, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said the government did not think the decree "will immediately stop LNG imports," on which Japan is heavily dependent.
"We think we need to carefully monitor how the decree will affect our contract," he told reporters.
Japan's economy minister meanwhile said Tokyo would look into alternative suppliers.
"In the mid-to-long term, we will do everything we can to ensure a stable supply of energy, including through alternative procurement from LNG suppliers other than Russia, buying from the spot market, and reducing demand when necessary," Koichi Hagiuda told journalists.
He said Japan would also look into boosting renewable and nuclear energy, which remains controversial in the country after the 2011 Fukushima disaster.
The Russian decree says the move is a reaction to the "unfriendly actions" of countries that are imposing "restrictive measures" on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.
It warns the Russian government will carry out a "financial, environmental and technical audit" of foreign stakeholders and identify any "damages" they have caused.
Those accused of such damages may be obliged to pay unspecified compensation, it adds.
Energy resource-poor Japan relies heavily on LNG imports and had previously ruled out withdrawal from the Sakhalin-2 project despite joining Western-led energy sanctions on Russia over the invasion of Ukraine.
Spokesmen for Mitsubishi and Mitsui would say only that the firms were examining the details of the decree in coordination with the government.
The other major stakeholder in the project is oil giant Shell, which has already committed to selling its 27.5 percent stake.
"As a shareholder, Shell has always acted in the best interests of Sakhalin-2 and in accordance with all applicable legal requirements," the British group said Friday.
"We are aware of the decree and are assessing its implications," it added.
Shell in May announced it had taken a hit totalling $1.6 billion linked to Sakhalin-2.
Japan is heavily dependent on imported fossil fuels, in part because many of its nuclear reactors have been offline since the Fukushima disaster.
Russia supplies nearly nine percent of Japan's LNG demands, with Australian exports accounting for about 40 percent of the market.
Japan is currently sweltering through a record heatwave and the government has warned several times in recent days of a power crunch in the Tokyo region.
On Friday, it began a three-month period in which it is asking residents to conserve power, with fears of shortages during the summer heat.

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.”

David Branch is making some changes to his Fourth of July celebration menu this year.
"I'm not doing ribs. I'm not doing beef brisket and other things that probably I would normally do," Branch said.
He's not alone. Rising inflation means that it's gotten more expensive to stock a party with the holiday's classic foods — about 11% more expensive than last year, to be exact. That's according to a new study that Branch co-authored, which calculated how much prices have risen for certain Fourth of July foods for a 10-person party. He's a food and agribusiness adviser for Wells Fargo, which means he follows industry price trends.
The costs of red meat and chicken are hitting wallets hard this year. Branch recommends being creative with other proteins, like shrimp or pork butt. The study, which uses data from May, shows that shrimp is 8.2% more expensive than it was in July 2021, and the price of pork has grown by 3.1%.
Sure, that's painful. But these increases pale in comparison to chicken breasts, which are a whopping 24% more expensive than they were in July last year.
Even though chicken or ground beef may still be less expensive per pound than, say, shrimp, Branch said it's important to factor in how many people you're feeding and how much protein you need for each serving. For example, you might need two pounds of ground beef for burgers but only one pound of shrimp for tacos, making burgers more expensive per person (and that's not even counting condiments or other toppings).
His advice? Do some research and calculate the costs per meal. You may find a certain kind of meat has much more bang for its buck, or that you're better off going vegetarian. Branch is having shrimp tacos this year after scoring frozen bags that were buy one, get one free.
There are many reasons why food prices have shot up. The pandemic has disrupted global supply chains. The costs of corn and soybeans, which are used in animal feed, have skyrocketed. In recent months, U.S. poultry farmers have culled millions of chickens as a bout of bird flu swept through flocks.
At the same time, the war in Ukraine is affecting wheat prices. Ukraine is one of the world's top wheat exporters, and Russian blockades have stopped millions of tons of grain from leaving the country.
With inflation at its highest rate since 1994, looking for sales and being creative with menus are good ways to lessen the economic sting this holiday weekend. And while the economic roller coaster continues, Branch recommends being flexible.
"It's just a difficult time," Branch said. "You can look for opportunities out there and still have a fun gathering with family and friends to celebrate the Fourth of July and not break the bank."
After all, enjoying a fireworks display doesn't cost a thing.

HONG KONG (AP) — The following are key events in the history of Hong Kong, which marked the 25th anniversary of its handover from British to Chinese rule on Friday.
China had promised the territory could retain its civil, economic and political liberties for 50 years under the “one country, two systems” framework. However, in recent years Beijing has severely limited rights to free speech and assembly and virtually eliminated political opposition under the rubric of maintaining national security.
— 1841: The Qing dynasty cedes Hong Kong Island to Britain after China’s defeat in the first Opium War. British administration begins the next year, helping to grow trade in goods from tea to porcelain, while China’s leadership deals with internal conflicts and increasing demands for foreign access to its enormous domestic market.
— 1860: The colony grows after the Qing cede Kowloon, a mountainous region opposite Hong Kong Island, to Britain after the second Opium War. China accedes to the demands after the imperial court is driven from Beijing and its famed Summer Palace is sacked, looted and torched by foreign troops.
— 1898: Britain leases the New Territories, a large area around Kowloon, from China for 99 years, or until 1997. The largely rural area provides a buffer against unrest within mainland China and greater economic viability for the colony as a whole. The lease also sets the clock ticking on Hong Kong’s eventual return to Chinese rule.
— 1941-45: Japan occupies Hong Kong until the end of World War II. British, Chinese and allied forces resisted for three weeks, but were forced to surrender against overwhelming odds. Along with anti-colonialism, rhetoric against Japanese wartime atrocities remains a central theme in the Communist Party’s nationalistic appeal.
— 1984: Britain agrees to return Hong Kong to China in 1997 under a “one country, two systems” framework that gives the city its own economic and political system for 50 years. The Sino-British Joint Agreement is registered with the United Nations, although Beijing now says it is null and void and rejects any foreign criticism as meddling in its internal affairs.
— 1997: Hong Kong is handed over to Chinese rule in a ceremony attended by Prince Charles and Chinese President Jiang Zemin. Hours later, People’s Liberation Army troops enter the city in a highly public display of China’s repudiation of colonial rule.
— 2003: In the largest protest since the handover, hundreds of thousands of citizens march against proposed national security legislation that would have criminalized “subversion” against the Chinese government. The bill was subsequently withdrawn in what was seen as a victory for civic organization and an indication of Beijing’s continued — although waning — tolerance for dissent.
— 2014: Protesters seeking direct elections for Hong Kong’s leader lay siege to government headquarters for 79 days but fail to win any concessions. The protests spawn a generation of young activists who will continue to push for greater freedoms against an increasingly intransigent Chinese leadership.
— 2017: Chinese leader Xi Jinping visits Hong Kong on the 20th anniversary of its return to Chinese rule, during which he delivers a speech declaring Beijing will accept no opposition. Long-time civil servant and close Beijing ally Carrie Lam becomes Hong Kong’s chief executive with a mandate to enforce China’s will, while maintaining the city’s status as an international business hub.
— 2019: Protests break out over proposed legislation that could have see Hong Kongers and foreign residents sent to mainland China for trials in a legal system beset with accusations of ill-treatment and forced confessions. While the bill is withdrawn, protests continue among mostly students and young people frustrated with a lack of representation and opportunities in one of the world’s most economically divided cities.
— 2020: Following a heavy crackdown on protesters, opposition figures and independent media, China’s rubber-stamp parliament imposes a sweeping National Security Law that jails thousands of government critics, with others seeking asylum abroad or being intimidated into silence. Changes to the makeup of Hong Kong’s Legislative Council ensure only “patriots” loyal to Beijing will have a voice.
— 2022: Former security chief John Lee is installed as Hong Kong’s chief executive following what was widely seen as a sham election in which he was the only candidate. Lee is among a number of Hong Kong and mainland Chinese officials under U.S. and European visa bans for their roles in cracking down on human rights in the territory. Authorities require new textbooks asserting that Hong Kong was never a British colony, claiming China never recognized the treaties over its status. The move is seen as an attempt to erase the memory of past freedoms and assert the ideology of China’s “great rejuvenation” that is central to Xi’s political agenda. | https://www.wane.com/top-stories/ap-top-headlines/timeline-hong-kong-under-25-years-of-chinese-rule/ | 2022-07-01T11:22:32Z | https://www.wane.com/top-stories/ap-top-headlines/timeline-hong-kong-under-25-years-of-chinese-rule/ | false |

This lawsuit is on behalf of all persons or entities that purchased Dentsply's common stock between June 9, 2021, and May 9, 2022.
Shareholders interested in acting as a lead plaintiff representing the class of wronged shareholders have until August 1, 2022 to petition the court. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as a lead plaintiff.
According to the filed complaint, defendants orchestrated a scheme to inflate Dentsply's revenue and earnings by manipulating the Company's accounting for a distributor rebate program so that senior executives would be eligible for significant cash and stock-based incentive compensation. In order to facilitate this scheme, Dentsply and its executives made numerous false and misleading statements to investors during the class period. As a result of defendants' misrepresentations, Dentsply's common stock traded at artificially inflated prices during the class period.

On Saturday, President Joe Biden signed into law the Keep Kids Fact Act, which extends partial school meal flexibility through the next school year. The universal meal program was set to expire on June 30.
The extension of the program is a boost to Harford County families experiencing financial hardships, said Kim Neely, director of the food pantry at Harford Community Action Agency.
“School meal financial support is crucial for so many of these families with children,” Neely said. “With the rising food costs and inflation, the Keep Kids Fed Act will surely provide additional meals to the children in the community and give the parents some financial relief to be able to provide meals for their families.”
The Keep Kids Fed Act is a $3 billion plan to extend all pandemic school meal waivers through the summer and and increased federal reimbursements for school through the 2022-23 school year.
The extension will allow meal deliveries and grab-and-go options for students. The additional benefits came in response to the planned end of the universal meal program, which would have meant parents would have to reapply to the National School Lunch Program for free or reduced-cost school meals.
The universal meal program provided free breakfast and lunch for all students in public schools schools for the past two years through federal pandemic assistance.
According to Harford County Public Schools, the cost of breakfast in the 2021-22 SSO Summer Food Service Program Reimbursement, came to $2.61. Schools were reimbursed 37 cents per paid breakfast and $1.20 per free or reduced breakfast.
In the 2021-22 SSO Summer Food Service Program Reimbursement, lunches cost $1.97, with schools being reimbursed by 42 cents per meal per paid lunch and $3.73 per free or reduced lunch.
The school system was reimbursed by the federal government for summer meals (June, July and August) $180,347.33 in 2019; and through the Keep Kids Fed Act, $1,068,413.62 in 2020 and $1,548,157.60 in 2021.
The state of Maryland covers the cost of breakfast and lunch for students who qualify for reduced-price meals.
Harford County was also selected to participate in Maryland’s 2022 Summer Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which will give almost 10,000 children extra benefits.
Summer SNAP will provide $30 extra per additional child for June, July and August, as well as an additional $10 over the winter break in December – a total additional benefit of $100 per child.
“The county executive is glad to see the federal government take some action as food prices continue to rise, and he will certainly be moving forward with his commitment to the Summer SNAP program to help families in need in Harford County,” said Cynthia Mumby, director of governmental and community relations.
Afternoon Update
Harford County Public Schools started its summer meals program on June 20 to ensure children had continued access to meals throughout the summer, after school ended on June 16, said Jillian Lader, the school system’s manager of communications.
Currently, the school system is waiting for additional guidance from the state Department of Education as to how exactly this will impact the summer meals program that already exists, said Kristen Sudzina, supervisor of food and nutrition for Harford County Public Schools. | https://www.capitalgazette.com/maryland/cng-ag-keep-kids-fed-act-extension-harford-schools-2022-20220701-25gmacjky5dd3jxte7wvr2w5r4-story.html | 2022-07-01T11:25:17Z | https://www.capitalgazette.com/maryland/cng-ag-keep-kids-fed-act-extension-harford-schools-2022-20220701-25gmacjky5dd3jxte7wvr2w5r4-story.html | true |
The FTC received 2.8 million fraud reports last year. Americans lost $30 billion in phone scams, and $55 billion in identity fraud, imposter scams, and online shopping scams.
So how do you know what’s real and what’s not?
Shannon Fraser learned the hard way, as she thought she was helping a young boy track down his parents.
“I was walking my dog and a little kid, I’d say 11, 12 years old pulls up on a scooter and was a little frantic and he’s like can you help me?” she recalls.
“He said, 'I just need to make a quick phone call.' I could hear the person talking with him. She was giving him a cross street. 'Where are you?' 'What street are you at?' Trying to direct, he asked me if he could open maps. So, he actually opens maps,” Fraser says.
Without her seeing, he also opened up Venmo.
“I received a notification from my bank that said 'your Venmo transaction of $1,800 has been approved.' Right after that, it said 'your Venmo of $2,000 has been approved,' so $3,800 total," Fraser continues.
The Better Business Bureau says this isn’t the first time.
To protect yourself, and your money, enable face ID and pin, not just for your phone, but for the Venmo app itself.
Also, freeze your credit at Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax. That way no one can open credit cards in you name.
Also, be sure to use two-step authentication for all your smart devices and mobile apps and make sure you have unique and complex passwords for all your logins—and more importantly, stay alert.
“They're not stealing your, you know, not stealing your wallet anymore. That's not where your money is,” Fraser warns.
Shannon said Venmo credited her account everything that was taken she was able to get her money back, but you may not be so lucky.
The bottom line: Never hand your phone over to a stranger. | https://www.wfmz.com/features/life-lessons/dont-be-fooled-the-new-tech-savvy-pickpocket/article_e2d7277c-f149-11ec-9767-6367483c0950.html | 2022-07-01T11:25:30Z | https://www.wfmz.com/features/life-lessons/dont-be-fooled-the-new-tech-savvy-pickpocket/article_e2d7277c-f149-11ec-9767-6367483c0950.html | false |

Bill Johnston has announced that he will be taking over the lease at the Wagon and Horses on St George's Quay.
He is currently in charge at The Canal Turn pub and was previously the managing director of The Bay - which also once had a base on the quay.
He will be taking over the Wagon and Horses from Paul Tarry and Carole Crossley, who recently announced they would be leaving the pub after almost a decade.
Mr Johnston took over The Canal Turn in 2018.
But things turned sour earlier this year, when more than 1,300 people signed a petition to help him to stay in charge after he was given three months' notice to leave, more than a year before the end of his contract.
In a post on The Canal Turn Facebook page this week, Mr Johnston thanked "the amazing support from customers, staff and the wider community".
"Despite asking for, and wanting, an ongoing renewal of my agreement it wasn't to be," he said.
"Since then, with time on my side and with no eviction threat, I've had to look longer term, beyond May 2023, and my own future. In the last few days I've signed 'heads of terms' on a new lease taking over the Wagon & Horses Pub & Dining venue in Lancaster.
"The exciting opportunity wouldn't have been available next year.
"It's a fantastic venue, area and community I know very well from my previous radio days. I'll be taking over from Paul and Carole who have built up an amazing site over 10 years. They really will be a tough act to follow.
"Although the timescales are all subject to change, the notice I've had to give to exit The Canal Turn would take me to the end of September.
"My priority is with my amazing team of 18 staff. The requirements of the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations (TUPE) will apply with the change in control. I am consulting with all of my team and have a full meeting this Saturday with them all.
"Thanks so much to everyone for their amazing support and custom since I took over The Canal Turn in 2018. We've made incredible happy memories together and I've made so many friends. I will miss everyone immensely.
"In the meantime, it's very much 'business as usual' and the team and I look forward to seeing and serving you all soon."
Paul and Carole posted on the Wagon and Horses page last month to announce they would be leaving.
"Age is getting the better of us and we just need time to relax after a few gruelling years," they said.
"We have loved every minute being here and loved the friendships we have built up.
"We don’t have a definite date for leaving but plan to be out by autumn.
"Thanks to all our customers for giving us so many happy times and we hope you all will have equal happy memories of our decade here." | https://www.lancasterguardian.co.uk/business/carnforth-landlord-to-take-over-at-lancaster-quayside-pub-3752920 | 2022-07-01T11:28:07Z | https://www.lancasterguardian.co.uk/business/carnforth-landlord-to-take-over-at-lancaster-quayside-pub-3752920 | true |

LUXEMBOURG, July 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Infinite Reality (iR), the Metaverse entertainment and innovation company, announced today a strategic relationship with the University of Luxembourg's Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT) to introduce a global, open metaverse, from the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. This is a significant piece of the company's European expansion plans.
Benefitting from the Grand Duchy's digital capacities and the country's wide range of business support, this initiative, which is supported by Luxembourg's national innovation agency Luxinnovation, seeks to secure Luxembourg as the center of Metaverse innovation in Europe. Inline with its forward-looking approach, the Luxembourg Ministry of the Economy strives to seize the latest technological developments to achieve the digital economy of tomorrow.
Led by Infinite Reality, this bold global initiative will develop a Metaverse experience where creators have the ultimate control over their own monetization potential. With this initiative, iR is set to become the first user-friendly Metaverse that empowers the individuals on the platform by giving them direct access to potential brand partners. This open Metaverse will allow major global brands, start-ups, local communities, universities, and cutting-edge research centers, to use the platform freely, fostering innovation, creation, and global responsibility.
As a first initiative in Luxembourg, iR intends to work with SnT to offer a Metaverse sandbox that can be used by local organizations to explore this disruptive technology. For this Metaverse sandbox, the project will build a digital twin of an area of Luxembourg City that companies and public actors can explore, looking for multiple working opportunities. In addition, these potential partners would have the opportunity to create their own digital twins for specific metaverse experiments with high-level support and resources from both iR and SnT.
"Infinite Reality has a bold vision for a future with an open Metaverse, and strong relationships with like-minded strategic partners in Luxembourg will be the key to our success. We have a shared interest in using digital innovation to enhance daily life and sustainable development, which we can do by transforming Metaverse creation and innovation in Europe," says John Acunto, co-founder and CEO of Infinite Reality.
"The Metaverse is full of potential, and we are eager to tackle the technical research challenges together with iR to make the open Metaverse a reality. We are pleased to act as strategic research partners as iR builds up their operation in Europe from Luxembourg," said Prof. Björn Ottersten, director of SnT.
iR CEO John Acunto presented insights into the transformative effect Metaverse will have on our daily lives as a keynote speaker at the ICT Spring Global Tech Conference in Luxembourg.
Infinite Reality is fostering a revolution of data, commerce, online authenticity, and digital transparency. Our vision of an open Metaverse makes each brand, creator, and fan the master of their own internet experience, their own data, the ways in which they distribute content and sell products, and the ways in which they interact with one another. iR provides the tools and services that companies and creators need to develop compelling open Metaverse experiences. Our Metaverse Empowerment Group advises, manages, designs, and oversees these custom features leveraging our expert internal and creator community resources. iR's Entertainment division, anchored by Thunder Studios, provides production, broadcasting, and streaming services to the world's best talent, brands, and creators. Infinite Reality has all of the resources to seamlessly create and broadcast content into and from the Metaverse. For more information visit theinfinitereality.com.

‘We are in extreme crisis.’ Italian parmesan producers fear for future amid drought

The main artery that cuts through Italy’s heartland, where 30% of its food is produced, is the 650-kilometer-long (400-mile-long) River Po, which winds its way from the Alps to the Adriatic Sea on Italy’s northeast coast.
The “Big River,” as it is known, plays an integral role in the nation’s history. Before bridges were built, its deep waters protected civilizations on either side from invaders who could not cross.
In later years, cities and industries sprouted on its banks and made use of the water for hydropower, transportation and irrigation. Along some sections of the River Po, processing plants turn the muddy river into drinking water.
The Po is fed by winter snow in the Alps and heavy rainfall in the spring that often leads to devastating floods. At a café near the banks of the river, close to the city of Mantova, a measuring stick on the wall indicates how high the water has risen. In 1951, it nearly touched the roof.
But in 2022, things are very different. An unusually dry winter meant snow melt was scarce and spring rains only sporadic, which has led to the worst drought in the northern regions of Italy in more than 70 years, a regional agency for the River Po confirmed.
As a result, the Po is hitting record low water levels, according to the European Space Agency. An animation from the agency’s Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite mission reveals how the river has “significantly shrunk” between June 2020 and June 2022.
And that is a big problem for the millions of people who rely on the Po for their livelihoods. Salination from the Adriatic Sea has started turning its fresh water into unusable poison for crops. Recent samples show salt water more than 20 kilometers (12 miles) inland, and as the river drops lower, the sea will continue to fill the void.
Massimiliano Fazzini, head of the Climate Risk Department of the Italian Society of Environmental Geology, says that in the current hydrological year, which started December 1, the Po River basin has a water deficit of around 45% to 70% in some areas.
“I’m usually never a pessimistic or alarmist, but this time we must be alarmist,” he told CNN, citing the difference in the average snowfall from 7.5 meters (24.6 feet) in normal years to 2.5 meters (8.2 feet) this year coupled with rising temperatures that have meant the reservoirs that might be accessible in a drought year are not at capacity. “The situation is critical and can only get worse,” he said.
At Simone Minelli’s dairy farm along the banks of the river near Mantova, the prospect is grim. Water is an essential part of the operation to feed his herd of 300 Friesian cattle, he told CNN.
His milk cows produce 30 liters (6.6 gallons) of milk each a day that is transformed into this region’s authentic Parmigiano Reggiano parmesan cheese. If his cows don’t each drink between 100 and 150 liters (22 to 33 gallons) of water a day or are overheated, the milk won’t meet the rigid standards, and the cheese won’t be given the coveted seal of approval.
But a bigger concern than the water in their troughs is what they’ll eat. Minelli primarily uses water from the Po for irrigation of crops to feed his cattle. He showed CNN a soybean field that has not been irrigated and is suffering with small, withered plants that won’t nourish his cattle.
He is worried about restrictions on water as he watches the Po level go down even further — and where he could even buy feed if other farmers are suffering similarly. “I’m very worried, we take it day by day,” he said. “If you don’t have enough food to feed your cattle, you have to reduce,” he said, referring to the number of cows in his herd.
In the nearby Parmigiano Reggiano consortium, his milk is mixed with that of 20 other dairy farmers to produce 52,000 rounds of the coveted cheese each year. If the milk runs dry, the cheese won’t get made.
Further up the river, Ada Giorgi showed CNN the pump house operated by the consortium she has presided over for 20 years. The consortium has had to pay to have sand removed from the riverbed so the pumps don’t get clogged, she said, and has added one meter (3.3 feet) of pipe to lower the pumps even more if the water level continues to drop. The water from the pump house feeds a labyrinth of canals leading to irrigation hubs and processing plants.
The consortium’s 150,000 customers are still receiving water, but as Giorgi looks at the level of the Po, she says she is worried about the future. “The last time the river was low was 2003,” she told CNN. “This time it is much, much worse. There is a lack of rain, no snow, and high temperatures,” she said. “It creates the famous perfect storm. We are in extreme crisis.”
If it doesn’t rain — and no meaningful rain is forecast in the near future — things will only get worse. In the city of Milan, Italy’s financial hub, the mayor has ordered all ornamental fountains turned off, and prohibited the washing of private vehicles or watering of gardens and lawns.
In the small town of Castenaso, close to Bologna, hairdressers and barbers are reportedly prohibited from washing clients’ hair twice in an attempt to save water before supplies there run too low.
Meanwhile, a grueling heatwave has gripped much of southern Italy since May.
Scientists call the Mediterranean region a climate crisis hotspot. The human-caused crisis has made heatwaves here more frequent and intense, and has led to less rainfall in the summer. Temperatures are expected to be between 20% and 50% hotter than the global average, and droughts here will worsen by mid-century, even if the world does dial down its greenhouse gas emissions. If emissions continue at very high levels, droughts and wildfires will become so severe that continuing agriculture will be difficult. Tourism will also become less attractive.
Italy is a net exporter of food, providing goods like wheat to many developing nations. A drought here is only exacerbating a food crisis being felt acutely in poorer parts of the world. And the River Po holds an outsize significance for Italians.
Author Tobias Jones, whose book “The Po — An Elegy for Italy’s Longest River” traces the river’s history, followed the entire length of the river to capture its importance. He says the Po is to Italy what the Thames is to London or the Mississippi is to the United States.
“For centuries, the worry was about the river flooding, but climate change has meant that the river is now at risk of drying up,” he told CNN.
“It is not just a river, it is part of the national psyche. The towns along it draw tourism and industry. It was almost a moat for central Italy that kept it safe from invaders. Now it is under threat and no one knows what to do to save it.”

ATLANTA, July 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- This week, to help alleviate ongoing supply shortages of baby formula, Peach State Health Plan continued its efforts to deliver critically-needed infant and baby formula to Georgia's medical providers in underserved areas around the state. Over 200 cannisters of formula have been distributed to pediatric clinics in Southwest Georgia and Atlanta, providing approximately 4,200 meals to feed newborns and babies of parents and families struggling to access this critical resource.
"The increased cost and scarce availability of baby formula is putting undue stress on Georgia's communities, and negatively impacting the health of newborns and their families," said Wade Rakes, CEO and President of Peach State Health Plan. "Some of the most negatively impacted are those living in rural and underserved regions of the state, and Peach State Health Plan is committed to help provide formula to areas that are in the greatest need."
Across the country over the past few months, parents and healthcare providers saw the availability of formula in stores diminish and prices on the secondary market soar. While supplies are slowly returning, many underserved and rural areas of the state are still experiencing critical shortages, causing parents across Georgia to continue to struggle to find formula. As Georgia's largest care management organization, Peach State is working with community physicians to address the needs of Georgia families.
"I am proud of the public-private partners that are banding together to support Georgians in need," said Governor Brian Kemp. "At the state level, we will continue working with relevant agencies and other stakeholders, like Peach State Health Plan, who are rising to meet the challenge before us and helping assist parents and newborns in need."
"Peach State Health Plan is one of our valued partners in Medicaid managed care," said Caylee Noggle, Commissioner for the Georgia Department of Community Health. "We are proud of the work they are doing to continue to help our community."
Infant formula is critical to the health and development of newborns. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, roughly 1 in 4 parents exclusively breastfeed their children up to the age of 6 months, leaving the overwhelming majority of parents and caregivers at least partially dependent on formula.
"The formula donated by Peach State Health Plan will go a long way to help our patients struggling to find affordable or any formula for their families," said Dr. Nelson T. Madrazo, MD FAAP, Sumter Pediatrics. "The formula shortage has been tough on all of Georgia's families. It is good to know that there are companies out there like Peach State Health plan working to find solutions to the shortage."
In a continued effort to help Georgia's families through the formula shortage, Peach State Health Plan is donating additional deliveries of baby formula to healthcare providers in the coming weeks and months. Medical providers and organizations that have received or will receive cannisters of formula from Peach State Health Plan are located in Albany, Atlanta, Augusta, Cairo, Columbus, Conyers, Leesburg, Norcross, Thomasville, and Tifton.
For families impacted by infant formula shortages, Peach State Health Plan members can contact the Community Connections Help Line for supply assistance at 1-866-775-2192 or TTY 711.
Peach State Health Plan is a Care Management Organization that serves the needs of Georgians through a range of health insurance solutions. Peach State Health Plan serves the Medicaid and PeachCare for Kids® population in partnership with Georgia Families. The organization also focuses on under-insured and uninsured individuals through its federal insurance marketplace plan, Ambetter, and its Medicare Advantage Special Needs Plan. Peach State Health Plan is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Centene Corporation, a leading multi-line healthcare enterprise. For more information visit www.pshp.com.

The 2022 CytoSorb World Users' Meeting focuses on groundbreaking new applications of the adsorption technology to celebrate the 10th anniversary of commercialization
PRINCETON, N.J. and BERLIN, July 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Under the theme "We Are Changing Medicine: CytoSorb Therapy - From the Past to the Future," CytoSorbents Corporation (NASDAQ: CTSO) is bringing together nearly 300 of the world's leading critical care physicians and renowned scientists, as well as some of the most experienced cardiovascular and liver specialists to the 2022 CytoSorb World Users' Meeting (WUM) on July 2, 2022 in Berlin, Germany. Together, they will discuss updates on the latest scientific findings, study results, and case series using CytoSorb blood purification in different clinical applications.
The kick-off and one of many highlights will be the keynote speech by Prof. Dr. Bruno Reichart, the cardiothoracic surgeon who performed the first successful human heart-lung transplant in Germany in 1983. He will discuss lessons learned from the renaissance of xenotransplantation – the transplantation of non-human organs into human patients – which could someday help to end the global shortage and waiting lists for donated organs. Solid organ transplant (e.g. hearts, lungs, kidneys, and livers) is an exciting new field for CytoSorbents. This includes multiple cardiothoracic surgery applications of CytoSorb during and after heart-lung transplants, and includes the burgeoning field of ex vivo organ perfusion with our E.U. approved ECOS-300CY®/PerSorb® cartridge, with the goal of rehabilitating solid organs to improve clinical outcomes.
In recent years, the WUM has established itself as an inclusive and highly-anticipated interdisciplinary event with pioneers and power users from all over the world exchanging first-hand insights into clinical results and experiences with CytoSorb in various fields of application. A major focus of this year's discussion by top-level participants will be the combination of CytoSorb and ECMO to treat lung failure, the use of CytoSorb to reverse septic shock, and how CytoSorb is helping to advance the treatment of acute liver failure.
"The dialogue and partnership with CytoSorb users over the past 10 years has proven immensely informative and personally rewarding," said Christian Steiner, EVP Marketing & Sales of CytoSorbents and Managing Director of CytoSorbents Europe. "The combined energy and ideas from this working group has led to some of the most exciting advances in the treatment of life-threatening illnesses using our CytoSorb therapy. Users have embraced the new dimension of blood purification that CytoSorb has enabled. One powerful example is the treatment of cytokine storm that is at the core of so many deadly conditions. On this important anniversary event, we can all be proud that we are 'Working to Save Lives'."
CytoSorbents Corporation is a leader in the treatment of life-threatening conditions in intensive care and cardiac surgery using blood purification. Its flagship product, CytoSorb®, is approved in the European Union with distribution in more than 70 countries around the world as an extracorporeal cytokine adsorber designed to reduce the "cytokine storm" or "cytokine release syndrome" seen in common critical illnesses that may result in massive inflammation, organ failure and patient death. These are conditions where the risk of death can be extremely high, yet few to no effective treatments exist. CytoSorb is also being used during and after cardiothoracic surgery to remove inflammatory mediators that can lead to post-operative complications, including multiple organ failure. More than 170,000 cumulative CytoSorb devices have been utilized as of March 31, 2022. CytoSorb was originally introduced into the European Union under CE-Mark as a first-in-kind cytokine adsorber. Additional CE-Mark label expansions were received for the removal of bilirubin and myoglobin in clinical conditions such as liver disease and trauma, respectively, and both ticagrelor and rivaroxaban during cardiothoracic surgery. CytoSorb has also received FDA Emergency Use Authorization in the United States for use in adult critically ill COVID-19 patients with imminent or confirmed respiratory failure. The DrugSorb™-ATR Antithrombotic Removal System, which is based on the same polymer technology as CytoSorb, has also been granted FDA Breakthrough Designation for the removal of ticagrelor, as well as FDA Breakthrough Designation for the removal of the direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) drugs, apixaban and rivaroxaban, in a cardiopulmonary bypass circuit during urgent cardiothoracic surgery. The Company has initiated two FDA approved pivotal trials designed to support U.S. marketing approval of DrugSorb-ATR. The first is the 120-patient, 30 center STAR-T (Safe and Timely Antithrombotic Removal-Ticagrelor) randomized, controlled trial evaluating the ability of intraoperative DrugSorb-ATR use to reduce perioperative bleeding risk in patients on ticagrelor undergoing cardiothoracic surgery. The second is the 120-patient, 30 center STAR‑D (Safe and Timely Antithrombotic Removal-Direct Oral Anticoagulants) randomized, controlled trial, evaluating the intraoperative use of DrugSorb–ATR to reduce perioperative bleeding risk in patients undergoing cardiothoracic surgery on direct oral anticoagulants, including apixaban and rivaroxaban.
CytoSorbents' purification technologies are based on biocompatible, highly porous polymer beads that can actively remove toxic substances from blood and other bodily fluids by pore capture and surface adsorption. Its technologies have received non-dilutive grant, contract, and other funding of more than $39.5 million from DARPA, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), the U.S. Army, the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM), Air Force Material Command (USAF/AFMC), and others. The Company has numerous marketed products and products under development based upon this unique blood purification technology protected by many issued U.S. and international patents and registered trademarks, and multiple patent applications pending, including ECOS-300CY®, CytoSorb-XL™, HemoDefend-RBC™, HemoDefend-BGA™, VetResQ®, K+ontrol™, DrugSorb™, DrugSorb™-ATR, ContrastSorb, and others.

The 2022 CytoSorb World Users' Meeting focuses on groundbreaking new applications of the adsorption technology to celebrate the 10th anniversary of commercialization
PRINCETON, N.J. and BERLIN, July 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Under the theme "We Are Changing Medicine: CytoSorb Therapy - From the Past to the Future," CytoSorbents Corporation (NASDAQ: CTSO) is bringing together nearly 300 of the world's leading critical care physicians and renowned scientists, as well as some of the most experienced cardiovascular and liver specialists to the 2022 CytoSorb World Users' Meeting (WUM) on July 2, 2022 in Berlin, Germany. Together, they will discuss updates on the latest scientific findings, study results, and case series using CytoSorb blood purification in different clinical applications.
The kick-off and one of many highlights will be the keynote speech by Prof. Dr. Bruno Reichart, the cardiothoracic surgeon who performed the first successful human heart-lung transplant in Germany in 1983. He will discuss lessons learned from the renaissance of xenotransplantation – the transplantation of non-human organs into human patients – which could someday help to end the global shortage and waiting lists for donated organs. Solid organ transplant (e.g. hearts, lungs, kidneys, and livers) is an exciting new field for CytoSorbents. This includes multiple cardiothoracic surgery applications of CytoSorb during and after heart-lung transplants, and includes the burgeoning field of ex vivo organ perfusion with our E.U. approved ECOS-300CY®/PerSorb® cartridge, with the goal of rehabilitating solid organs to improve clinical outcomes.
In recent years, the WUM has established itself as an inclusive and highly-anticipated interdisciplinary event with pioneers and power users from all over the world exchanging first-hand insights into clinical results and experiences with CytoSorb in various fields of application. A major focus of this year's discussion by top-level participants will be the combination of CytoSorb and ECMO to treat lung failure, the use of CytoSorb to reverse septic shock, and how CytoSorb is helping to advance the treatment of acute liver failure.
"The dialogue and partnership with CytoSorb users over the past 10 years has proven immensely informative and personally rewarding," said Christian Steiner, EVP Marketing & Sales of CytoSorbents and Managing Director of CytoSorbents Europe. "The combined energy and ideas from this working group has led to some of the most exciting advances in the treatment of life-threatening illnesses using our CytoSorb therapy. Users have embraced the new dimension of blood purification that CytoSorb has enabled. One powerful example is the treatment of cytokine storm that is at the core of so many deadly conditions. On this important anniversary event, we can all be proud that we are 'Working to Save Lives'."
CytoSorbents Corporation is a leader in the treatment of life-threatening conditions in intensive care and cardiac surgery using blood purification. Its flagship product, CytoSorb®, is approved in the European Union with distribution in more than 70 countries around the world as an extracorporeal cytokine adsorber designed to reduce the "cytokine storm" or "cytokine release syndrome" seen in common critical illnesses that may result in massive inflammation, organ failure and patient death. These are conditions where the risk of death can be extremely high, yet few to no effective treatments exist. CytoSorb is also being used during and after cardiothoracic surgery to remove inflammatory mediators that can lead to post-operative complications, including multiple organ failure. More than 170,000 cumulative CytoSorb devices have been utilized as of March 31, 2022. CytoSorb was originally introduced into the European Union under CE-Mark as a first-in-kind cytokine adsorber. Additional CE-Mark label expansions were received for the removal of bilirubin and myoglobin in clinical conditions such as liver disease and trauma, respectively, and both ticagrelor and rivaroxaban during cardiothoracic surgery. CytoSorb has also received FDA Emergency Use Authorization in the United States for use in adult critically ill COVID-19 patients with imminent or confirmed respiratory failure. The DrugSorb™-ATR Antithrombotic Removal System, which is based on the same polymer technology as CytoSorb, has also been granted FDA Breakthrough Designation for the removal of ticagrelor, as well as FDA Breakthrough Designation for the removal of the direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) drugs, apixaban and rivaroxaban, in a cardiopulmonary bypass circuit during urgent cardiothoracic surgery. The Company has initiated two FDA approved pivotal trials designed to support U.S. marketing approval of DrugSorb-ATR. The first is the 120-patient, 30 center STAR-T (Safe and Timely Antithrombotic Removal-Ticagrelor) randomized, controlled trial evaluating the ability of intraoperative DrugSorb-ATR use to reduce perioperative bleeding risk in patients on ticagrelor undergoing cardiothoracic surgery. The second is the 120-patient, 30 center STAR‑D (Safe and Timely Antithrombotic Removal-Direct Oral Anticoagulants) randomized, controlled trial, evaluating the intraoperative use of DrugSorb–ATR to reduce perioperative bleeding risk in patients undergoing cardiothoracic surgery on direct oral anticoagulants, including apixaban and rivaroxaban.
CytoSorbents' purification technologies are based on biocompatible, highly porous polymer beads that can actively remove toxic substances from blood and other bodily fluids by pore capture and surface adsorption. Its technologies have received non-dilutive grant, contract, and other funding of more than $39.5 million from DARPA, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), the U.S. Army, the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM), Air Force Material Command (USAF/AFMC), and others. The Company has numerous marketed products and products under development based upon this unique blood purification technology protected by many issued U.S. and international patents and registered trademarks, and multiple patent applications pending, including ECOS-300CY®, CytoSorb-XL™, HemoDefend-RBC™, HemoDefend-BGA™, VetResQ®, K+ontrol™, DrugSorb™, DrugSorb™-ATR, ContrastSorb, and others.

MCPHERSON, Kan. (KSNW) — For one McPherson mother who wishes to remain anonymous, a seemingly random phone call from her day care provider quickly turned into a nightmare on Wednesday.
“I had a panic attack and an anxiety attack because my child is in police custody … it makes me mad, it makes me irritated, it makes me so sad,” she said.
At 10:48 a.m. on Wednesday, the McPherson Police Department responded to the 100 block of S. Park St. There, they say four children between the ages of 2-5 were found unsupervised.
Witnesses say the youngest of the bunch was feet away from falling in a moat in the area when a 10-year-old girl grabbed him, taking him to safety.
Police say the children had wandered off from Golden Explorers, a residential day care in the 700 block of E. Kansas, a Department of Children and Families (DCF) certified provider.
“We’re expecting a level of care and a level of love that our children are going to be taken care of,” the mother said.
She says she’s put her child through other day care centers but was not impressed with their care — adding she feels there is a shortage of quality day care providers in McPherson.
“From now on, I’m probably just going to have to depend on my family because I do not trust my kids in the care of another right now,” the mother said.
All four kids involved were found safe. The McPherson Police Department has referred this incident to the McPherson County Attorney’s Office and the DCF. Meanwhile, the day care provider in question is out of jail on bond. | https://www.ksn.com/news/local/mom-of-child-at-center-of-mcpherson-day-care-incident-speaks-out/ | 2022-07-01T11:50:57Z | https://www.ksn.com/news/local/mom-of-child-at-center-of-mcpherson-day-care-incident-speaks-out/ | true |
A survey of 2,000 office-based staff found many also loathe the lack of natural light, colleagues sucking up to the boss, and people rambling on about their weekend plans – even though they don’t care.
But 39 per cent have been quick to make their feelings known by either leaving a passive-aggressive note or sending an office-wide email.
The last people leaving and not locking up properly, cigarette butts scattered outside and a mess in the lunch communal areas are the top reasons why workers feel compelled to call out their peers.
And 32 per cent of these have even altered their fellow workers to the poor standard of parking.
While half reported their messages were successful in stopping what they deem to be poor office etiquette, 44 per cent admit the problems still persisted.
Warding off irritating colleagues
The research was commissioned by The Workplace Depot, who have created a hilarious compilation of passive-aggressive notes and emails to stick up or send around your own office to ward off irritating colleagues.
A spokesperson for the industrial supplies provider said: “Offices can often be a funny old environment when social norms don’t always translate into those four walls where we spend much of our lives.
“And when forced to encounter a multitude of small bothers on an almost daily basis, it is no surprise it drives many to snap.
“The way many choose to express their displeasure is in the quintessentially British form of the painfully polite passive-aggressive note or email.
“Yet, these will always have a serious undertone of hostility, which for the reader – or even worse, the culprit – can be quite alarming. Although, often rather amusing too.”
The return of the right conduct
The study also found 45 per cent have confronted a colleague about their poor conduct in the workplace – with 46 per cent of these claiming this intervention caused them to stop.
However, eight per cent overstepped the mark and even received disciplinary action following the quarrel.
While 37 per cent have considered leaving their job because of their office bugbears, with 14 per cent making the leap to a new role.
Unfortunately, the grass wasn’t always greener as 44 per cent claimed their new place of work was about the same or even worse than what they had left behind.
Getting their work finished at breakneck speeds so they can leave promptly ranked as the most common way workers counteract their annoyances.
While 37 per cent rarely engage with their colleagues to avoid irritations, and 30 per cent will just dodge visiting the office as much as possible.
More than a quarter (27 per cent) will simply plug their headphones in to drown out the noise and irritations of the office.
In fact, 40 per cent even admitted they are less productive when they are in the office because of what is winding them up, according to the survey conducted via OnePoll.
The spokesperson for The Workplace Depot added: “It’s clear from these findings many of the UK’s white-collar workers are pretty fed-up with what is going on around them between 9 and 5.
“But like many things in life, if you don’t address the problem, it will only get worse.
“It is important for these workers to stand up for what they believe is the right conduct for an office – even if that is hiding behind a passive-aggressive note.”

Lori Mangum was 32 when apple-size tumors sprouted on her head. Now — six years and 10 surgeries later — the skin cancer is gone. But her pain lives on, in the form of medical debt.
Even with insurance, Mangum paid $36,000 out-of-pocket, charges that stemmed from the hospital, the surgeon, the anesthesiologist, the pharmacy, and follow-up care. And she still has about $7,000 more to pay.
While she was trying to manage her treatment and medical costs, Mangum remembers thinking, "I should be able to figure this out. I should be able to do this for myself."
But medical billing and health insurance systems in the U.S. are complex, and many patients have difficulty navigating them.
"It’s incredibly humbling — and sometimes even to the point of humiliating — to feel like you have no idea what to do," Mangum said.
If you're worried about incurring debt during a health crisis or are struggling to deal with bills you already have, you're not alone. Some 100 million people — including 41% of U.S. adults — have health care debt, according to a recent survey by KFF.
But you can inform and protect yourself. KHN and NPR spoke with patients, consumer advocates, and researchers to glean their hard-won insights on how to avoid or manage medical debt.
“It shouldn’t be on the patients who are experiencing the medical issues to navigate this complicated system,” said Nicolas Cordova, a health care lawyer with the New Mexico Center on Law and Poverty. But consumers who inform themselves have a better chance of avoiding debt traps.
That means knowing the ins and outs of various policies — whether it’s your insurance coverage, or a hospital’s financial assistance program, or a state’s consumer protection laws. Ask a lot of questions and persist. “Don’t take 'no' for an answer," said Cordova, "because sometimes you might get a 'yes.'”
Even people with health insurance can land in debt; indeed, one of the biggest problems, consumer advocates said, is that so many people are underinsured, which means they can get hit with huge out-of-pocket costs from coinsurance and high deductibles.
Here is some practical advice about facing down medical debt, at every stage of care and after.
Before you get care
Get familiar with your insurance coverage and out-of-pocket costs. Get the best insurance coverage you can afford — even when you're healthy. Make sure you know what the copays, coinsurance, and deductibles will be. Don't hesitate to call the insurer and ask someone to walk you through all the potential out-of-pocket costs. Keep in mind that you cannot make changes to your policy except during certain windows of time, such as open enrollment (typically in the fall or early winter) or after a major life event.
Sign up for public insurance if you qualify. If you're uninsured but need health care, you might qualify for public insurance like Medicaid or Medicare. Ask the provider or hospital if they can help you check your eligibility before you commit to a care plan — and then stay with providers who participate in those programs.
Check whether the specifics of your care are covered. After your doctors map out your treatment plan, check whether all the providers you need to see are in-network and whether any part of the treatment needs to be preauthorized. Ask lots of questions of your insurance provider, doctor’s office, or hospital, especially for planned procedures, said Joy Dockter, a lawyer at Central California Legal Services, a public interest law firm. “'Are my authorizations in place? What are my copays going to be?' Find all that out beforehand, if you can,” she said.
Additionally, said Mark Rukavina, a program director at health equity advocacy group Community Catalyst, if the drug you want isn't covered by your insurance, ask whether the drugmaker has a patient assistance program; many do, though eligibility requirements vary.
Get a cost estimate. If you're uninsured, ask for a cost estimate in advance. Rukavina noted that the federal No Surprises Act, which took effect in January, requires providers to give uninsured patients "good faith" estimates of what planned care will cost.
Find out whether you're eligible for financial assistance — and come prepared to make your case. Almost every hospital offers some form of financial assistance, or “charity care.” Each hospital sets its own eligibility requirements but typically will waive or discount bills for patients earning less than two to three times the federal poverty level. (Three times the federal poverty level for a household of four in 2022 would be $83,250.)
People who are employed often still qualify for a discount, if not for free care, said Jared Walker, founder of Dollar For, a nonprofit group that helps patients secure charity care. His group developed a database of hospital charity care policies and has an online tool that allows patients to check their eligibility.
Even if you’re not sure whether you qualify, it's worth trying. Gather up documents such as pay stubs or income tax returns. Do not expect this to be an easy process. For example, Walker said, health care providers often require documentation to be faxed. "One of the most common refrains I heard from experts: Persistence pays," Walker said.
If you’ve already qualified for government benefits like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, that may streamline applying for a hospital’s financial aid.
If you're not a U.S. citizen or legal resident, check whether your state bars the hospital from considering immigration status, as is the case in New Mexico and Maryland.
Check for other forms of financial assistance. Ambulance services, which can lead to huge bills, might offer charity care programs, so ask whether you qualify. Also ask your medical providers if they know of other charitable programs that would cover costs for things like rides to medical appointments.
During treatment or soon after
Ask for line items of the costs for every service, prescription, or treatment you receive. Keep an eye on costs as they come up, said Louisville cancer patient Lori Mangum, who is now chief operating officer of Gilda's Club Kentuckiana, a cancer support group she relied on. Ask a family member or a support group to help you keep track, she said. And never assume that just because insurance covers one part of your treatment, that goes for everything else.
Scrutinizing your care can help you avoid costs. Mangum said she realized too late that she could’ve taken her own Tylenol, instead of paying “exorbitant” markups on the same medicine at the hospital. She said self-advocacy begins with pressing for answers about how much each service, treatment, and medication will cost — in advance, if possible.
Check whether providers are in-network. Consumer protections in the No Surprises Act should help limit out-of-network charges. That law bans "surprise" billing for most emergency care, as well as for some routine care with out-of-network providers. It also limits what providers can bill for out-of-network doctors, Rukavina said, and gives patients greater ability to dispute charges.
Make sure all your providers — including an anesthesiologist, for example — are in-network for your insurance. If it wasn't disclosed to you in advance, that charge may be worth appealing.
Rukavina noted that if you are not insured or not using your insurance and asked for an estimate in advance, you can dispute bills that exceed the estimates by $400. For patients seeking more information about the No Surprises Act and what it covers, Rukavina recommended calling the government's No Surprises Help Desk at 1-800-985-3059. For patients with complaints, he recommended filing an online complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Check for double billing. Go through each item on your bill. Mangum said that “it’s not infrequent for something to be double-billed.” Even if you’ve already been discharged and gotten behind on payments, it is worth checking to make sure you weren’t overcharged.
Negotiate with the hospital directly. Consumer advocates said people mistakenly think medical costs are fixed and nonnegotiable. That was the case for John DeAnda, who fainted while working as a cleaner at a New Mexico hospital. Doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong with him after four days of tests, but the hospital billed him for $8,000, which he's still trying to pay off, with interest, nine years later.
“I actually didn’t realize you could negotiate,” said DeAnda. “What I would’ve done differently is I would’ve talked to the hospital first, to see if they could work out a deal with me” before the bills were sent to collections.
If you know you cannot pay the bill, negotiate with the hospital administration or billing department. “That’s almost always possible” because hospitals want to avoid the costly administrative burden of sending bills to collections, said Ge Bai, a professor of accounting and health care policy at Johns Hopkins University.
Ask repeatedly about any other forms of financial assistance the hospital might offer. Negotiate the terms of payment to a monthly level that is affordable for you. This also saves the hospital the administrative headaches of unpaid bills, and it might help you avoid having bills sent to collections.
Prioritize paying for food and shelter over medical bills. Financial institutions and lenders treat medical debt differently than unpaid consumer bills. People choose to take a loan to buy a car; they don’t choose to get ill or injured. So just because people have medical debt does not mean they are unreliable or less likely to pay their bills in general. The three major credit-rating agencies recently agreed that unpaid medical bills will not affect people's credit scores for a year. Once a bill is paid, it should come off your credit report immediately. Starting in 2023, unpaid medical debt under $500 should not appear on reports either.
That means you should focus first on paying for life necessities — rent or mortgage, gas to get to work, and food, said Marceline White, executive director of the Maryland Consumer Rights Coalition.
Do not sign up for credit cards that offer to pay medical bills for you. Experts warn against using credit cards offered by dentists, hospitals, and doctors' offices to pay medical charges. Once you take out credit cards, personal loans, or second mortgages, the debt will get lumped in with any other form of consumer debt — the same as if you overspent on clothes or a luxury SUV. That’s one reason medical debt is often underreported; a lot of it masquerades as other forms of debt. Once you convert a medical bill to a credit card or personal loan, it’s more likely to hurt your credit score and therefore your ability to borrow in the future.
If you are already in debt or in collections
Try to qualify, even after the fact, for charity care. Hospitals sometimes overlook or fail to screen patients eligible for their financial assistance programs. Nonprofit hospitals are required by law to offer charity care and other community benefits. This is where self-advocacy can make the biggest difference. Sometimes hospitals will retroactively qualify patients and write off their debts. Volunteers at Dollar For will help patients push for that.
Dispute your bill if it is inaccurate. Rukavina said that under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, debt collectors are required to provide a written notice, within five days of contacting a patient, detailing the amount owed, the name of the creditor, and how to dispute the bill. Patients can dispute inaccurate bills if they respond within 30 days. Rukavina said even patients whose bills are in collections can tell bill collectors they wish to apply for financial assistance if they haven't already. If the patient qualifies, the collector cannot charge more than what the patient would've had to pay.
Contact free legal aid services. Lawyers around the country will represent consumers free of charge to resolve legal cases, including medical debt cases. They often have experience dealing with hospitals and third-party collections companies and might be able to argue your case on your behalf, especially if one or both have violated your state's consumer protection laws.
Do not ignore the issue. The impulse is understandable, but it will not help and will likely make the debt even more complicated to address, said Rukavina. As daunting as it might be, try to keep advocating for yourself and your family and get help.
About this project
"Diagnosis: Debt" is a reporting partnership between KHN and NPR exploring the scale, impact, and causes of medical debt in America.
The series draws on the "KFF Health Care Debt Survey," a poll designed and analyzed by public opinion researchers at KFF in collaboration with KHN journalists and editors. The survey was conducted Feb. 25 through March 20, 2022, online and via telephone, in English and Spanish, among a nationally representative sample of 2,375 U.S. adults, including 1,292 adults with current health care debt and 382 adults who had health care debt in the past five years. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3 percentage points for the full sample and 3 percentage points for those with current debt. For results based on subgroups, the margin of sampling error may be higher.
Additional research was conducted by the Urban Institute, which analyzed credit bureau and other demographic data on poverty, race, and health status to explore where medical debt is concentrated in the U.S. and what factors are associated with high debt levels.
The JPMorgan Chase Institute analyzed records from a sampling of Chase credit card holders to look at how customers' balances may be affected by major medical expenses.
Reporters from KHN and NPR also conducted hundreds of interviews with patients across the country; spoke with physicians, health industry leaders, consumer advocates, debt lawyers, and researchers; and reviewed scores of studies and surveys about medical debt. | https://www.news-medical.net/news/20220701/How-to-get-rid-of-medical-debt-e28094-or-avoid-it-in-the-first-place.aspx | 2022-07-01T12:02:01Z | https://www.news-medical.net/news/20220701/How-to-get-rid-of-medical-debt-e28094-or-avoid-it-in-the-first-place.aspx | false |
SILVERSTONE, England — This weekend’s British Grand Prix offers Lewis Hamilton a chance to make a statement on and off the track after a build-up dominated by how Formula One deals with racism.
Hamilton said the team has done “phenomenal” work on upgrading the car for this week’s race, where he will be looking for a second straight podium finish after coming third at the Canadian GP.
The seven-time F1 champion also spoke out this week about improving F1's record on diversity and inclusion, especially as drivers across F1 condemned former champion Nelson Piquet for comments in an interview describing Hamilton, the sport’s only Black driver, with a racial term which drivers and teams widely condemned as offensive.
Standings leader Max Verstappen, who is in a relationship with Piquet’s daughter Kelly, said Thursday that the man he calls his “father-in-law” had used a word that is “very, very offensive” but that he didn’t consider Piquet to be a racist. He added that Piquet’s lifetime paddock access given to former F1 champions should not be revoked.
HAMILTON’S JEWELRY
Hamilton has indicated a solution has been found in his standoff with the sport’s governing body, the FIA, over his piercings.
The FIA has a longstanding rule barring piercings and jewelry on safety grounds but it hadn’t been enforced for years. With a new FIA president, Mohammed Ben Sulayem, and new race directors this season, the FIA said it would implement the rule.
Hamilton initially said he would keep wearing piercings — especially a nose stud which would be difficult to remove — but indicated Thursday he’d found a solution.
“We’ve got so much bigger fish to fry,” Hamilton said. “So I will work with Mohammed and with his team so that we can progress forwards.”
BRITISH SUMMER
What would a British summer be without rain? The weather is set to be a factor throughout the British Grand Prix weekend, soaking the expected 400,000 spectators and potentially shaking up the grid.
Sergio Pérez in particular will seek to improve after a tough time in the rain at the last race in Canada. Pérez hit the wall in qualifying and made little impact from 13th on the grid before his gearbox broke in the race, while teammate Verstappen went on to win. Fernando Alonso qualified a surprise second in the tricky conditions for Alpine and Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz challenged Verstappen for the win in Canada but was left still waiting for his first career F1 victory.
VETTEL REFRESHES F1 HISTORY
Sebastian Vettel is reaching into F1’s past to present a glimpse of its possible future.
The four-time champion will drive a British racing classic before the race Sunday, demonstrating the Williams car driven by British driver Nigel Mansell when he won the 1992 title.
Vettel bought the car in 2018 in a nod to his memories of watching F1 as a child in the early 1990s — both he and Mansell won the title with the No. 5 — and has set it up to run on environmentally friendly fuel.
“I’m using the carbon-neutral fuels on Sunday to demonstrate that we can still hang on to our history and heritage and culture and motorsport, but do it in a more responsible way,” Vettel said Thursday, promising the new fuel mix won’t change the sound of the V10 Renault engine.

KHIMKI, Russia (Reuters) -U.S. basketball star Brittney Griner went on trial in a court on the outskirts of Moscow on Friday to face drug charges that could see her face up to 10 years in prison.
The case, which coincides with fraught relations between Moscow and Washington over the conflict in Ukraine, was brought after Russian authorities said they found vape cartridges containing hashish oil in Griner's luggage at a Moscow airport in February.
Griner, a star in the U.S.-based Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA), was arrested and charged with smuggling a large quantity of drugs.
The 31-year-old athlete was seen arriving at Khimki City Court in handcuffs shortly after noon Moscow time (0900 GMT) on Friday, wearing a Jimi Hendrix T-shirt and sneakers without laces, which are forbidden in Russian jails.
The prosecutor told Griner that she was being charged with intentionally transporting narcotics. Griner spoke to say she understood the charges.
Three employees of the U.S. embassy, including deputy of chief of mission Elizabeth Rood, were present in the courtroom. Griner was seated in a cage with a zip-lock bag of cookies and a bottle of mineral water.
Griner told a Reuters reporter she was finding detention hard because she was unable to speak Russian, and that she was unable to fully keep up with physical fitness, only general exercises such as stretching.
Her lawyers told Reuters they would not say yet whether or not she would be pleading guilty.
'ILLEGAL DRUGS'
Asked about the case, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov denied it was politically motivated.
"I can only operate with known facts, and the facts indicate that the eminent athlete was detained with illegal drugs that contained narcotic substances. There are articles in Russian legislation that provide for punishment for such crimes," he told reporters. "Only the court can pass a verdict."
U.S. officials and a score of athletes have called for the release of Griner - or "BG" as she is known to basketball fans. They say she has been wrongfully detained and should be immediately returned to her family in the United States.
Griner's detention also prompted concerns that Moscow could use the two-time Olympic gold medallist to negotiate the release of a high-profile Russian in U.S. custody.
The Kremlin has said that Griner violated Russian laws and denied she was being held hostage amid Russia's stand-off with the United States.
Griner, a centre for the Phoenix Mercury, had played for UMMC Ekaterinburg in Russia during the WNBA off-season, like several other U.S. players offered lucrative contracts by the Russian Women's Basketball Premier League.
However some have now left the Russian league, amid Griner's detention and Russia's military intervention in Ukraine.
Griner's wife, Cherelle Griner, told CNN in an interview on Thursday evening that she was hoping for a meeting with U.S. President Joe Biden.
"I would love for him to tell me he cares," Cherelle Griner said.
The U.S. government has warned citizens against travelling to Russia in light of the "potential for harassment against U.S. citizens by Russian government security officials".
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said last week there was "no higher priority" than bringing home Griner and other Americans "illegally detained" abroad.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Treasury Department said Thursday it has blocked a $1 billion Delaware-based trust connected to sanctioned Russian oligarch Suleiman Abusaidovich Kerimov.
The move comes after the U.S. seized a $325 million superyacht — the 348-foot-long Amadea — tied to Kerimov earlier this month.
The size of the trust and the complexity of the investigation made this a unique case, according to the department.
“Treasury continues using the full range of our tools to expose and disrupt those who seek to evade our sanctions and hide their ill-gotten gains,” Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said in a statement.
“Even as Russian elites hide behind proxies and complex legal arrangements, Treasury will use our broad enforcement authorities, as well as our partnerships through the REPO Task Force, to actively implement the multilaterally coordinated sanctions imposed on those who fund and benefit from Russia’s war against Ukraine,” she said.
Earlier this year, Treasury, the Justice Department and other agencies convened a task force known as REPO — short for Russian Elites, Proxies and Oligarchs — to work with other countries to investigate and prosecute oligarchs and individuals allied with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
That consortium blocked and froze $30 billion in sanctioned individuals’ property and funds in its first 100 days in operation, the Treasury Department reported Wednesday.
Allied governments have done everything from barring individuals from trading in Russian gold in the U.S. to banning companies from providing accounting, legal and consulting services to anyone located in Russia.
Earlier this week, the Group of Seven nations agreed on a ban on Russian gold imports in the latest round of sanctions over Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. | https://phl17.com/national-news/treasury-blocks-1-billion-trust-owned-by-russian-oligarch/ | 2022-07-01T12:04:24Z | https://phl17.com/national-news/treasury-blocks-1-billion-trust-owned-by-russian-oligarch/ | false |

QUITO, Ecuador (AP) — Ecuador’s government and the country’s main Indigenous group reached an agreement Thursday to end 18 days of often-violent strikes that had virtually paralyzed the country and killed at least four people.
The deal, which includes a decrease in the price of fuel and other concessions, was signed by Government Minister Francisco Jiménez, Indigenous leader Leonidas Iza and the head of the Episcopal Conference, Monsignor Luis Cabrera, who acted as mediator.
The agreement sets out that gasoline prices will decrease 15 cents to $2.40 per gallon and diesel prices will also decline the same amount, from $1.90 per gallon to $1.75.
The deal also sets limits to the expansion of oil exploration areas and prohibits mining activity in protected areas, national parks and water sources.
The government now has 90 days to deliver solutions to the demands of the Indigenous groups.
“Social peace will only be able to be achieved, hopefully soon, through dialogue with particular attention paid to marginalized communities, but always respecting everyone’s rights,” Cabrera said.
He went on to warn that “if state policies do not resolve the problem of the poor, then the people will rise up.”
“We know we have a country with a lot of divisions, a lot of problems, with unresolved injustices, with important sectors of the population that are still marginalized,” Jiménez said.
The two sides had started negotiations on Monday and an agreement appeared to be within reach until an attack allegedly carried out by Indigenous people against a fuel convoy killed one military officer and left 12 others wounded, leading the government to abandon talks.
Authorities have directly attributed four deaths to the 18-day strike.
The Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities had launched an indefinite national strike on June 13, demanding a decrease in the price of fuel and increase in the health and education budget as well as price controls on certain goods, among other demands.
Amid increasing shortages of food and fuel and millions in losses for farmers and business leaders, the two sides agreed to start negotiations.
The protests have been characterized by stringent road blockades that prevented the transportation of food, fuel and even ambulances. As a result, there has been a sharp increase in the price of the food that did manage to reach the cities, particularly in the Andean north, which has been one of the areas most affected by the strike. | https://phl17.com/news/international/ap-international/ecuador-agreement-ends-18-days-of-strikes/ | 2022-07-01T12:05:50Z | https://phl17.com/news/international/ap-international/ecuador-agreement-ends-18-days-of-strikes/ | true |
MOSCOW (AP) — American basketball star Brittney Griner appeared in a Moscow-area court for trial 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.
Griner was arrested in February at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport. Police said she was carrying vape canisters with cannabis oil. 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.
The athlete’s detention and trial come at an extraordinarily low point in Moscow-Washington relations. Griner was arrested 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.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov on Friday denied politics played a role in Griner’s detention and prosecution. .
“The facts are that the famous athlete was detained in possession of prohibited medication containing narcotic substances,” Peskov told reporters. “In view of what I’ve said, it can’t be politically motivated,” he added.
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.kark.com/news/national-news/brittney-griner-trial-begins-in-russian-court/ | 2022-07-01T12:06:30Z | https://www.kark.com/news/national-news/brittney-griner-trial-begins-in-russian-court/ | false |

HOUSTON (AP) — Houston’s Kyle Tucker was thrown out Thursday night when he tried to steal home while New York Yankees starter Luis Severino tinkered with his malfunctioning PitchCom device.
Alex Bregman had just hit a two-run double to put Houston up 2-0 and Tucker was on third with two outs in the third inning.
With Yuli Gurriel at-bat, a frustrated Severino took off his cap and held the PitchCom speaker to his ear, apparently unable to hear instructions from catcher Jose Trevino.
“It was working good and then it got loud and … it didn’t work,” Severino said.
Tucker saw Severino was distracted and tried to sneak home. Severino had the PitchCom earpiece in his right hand and had to quickly maneuver to get the baseball back in his throwing hand. He threw home while still holding his cap, and his throw narrowly beat Tucker and ended the inning.
“I saw him when he was like halfway, but nobody’s faster than the ball,” Severino said.
Severino was asked about making the throw while holding the device and his cap.
“I’m very good with my hands,” he said with a laugh.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone raved about the heads-up play.
“Sevy didn’t panic and reacted the right way and made the play,” he said.
Houston manager Dusty Baker thought it was a good chance for Tucker to take.
“If he throws that ball any kind of way errantly he’s safe,” Baker said. “I urge our guys to play aggressively and I thought he still had a chance to be safe. … That was a bold play that almost worked.”
The PitchCom digital pitch-calling devices, which transmit signals from the catcher to the pitcher, were introduced to the majors this season. The system was designed to halt sign stealing in the wake of the Astros’ 2017 scandal.

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 19 people, 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. The Ukrainian president’s office said three X-22 missiles fired by Russian bombers struck an apartment building and two campsites.
“A terrorist country is killing our people. In response to defeats on the battlefield, they fight civilians,” Andriy Yermak, the chief of staff to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
Ukraine’s Security Service said 19 people died, including two children. It said another 38, including six children and a pregnant woman, were hospitalized with injuries. Most of the victims were in 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, home to Ukraine’s biggest port. 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 departure of Russian troops from Snake Island as a “goodwill gesture” intended to facilitate shipments of grain and other agricultural products to Africa, the Middle East and other parts of the world.
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.
The island took on significance early in the war as a symbol of Ukraine’s resistance to the Russian invasion. Ukrainian troops there reportedly received a demand from a Russian warship to surrender or be bombed. The answer supposedly came back, “Go (expletive) yourself.”
Zelenskyy said that although the pullout did not guarantee the Black Sea region’s safety, it would “significantly limit” Russian activities there.
“Step by step, we will push (Russia) out of our sea, our land, our sky,” he said in his nightly address.
In eastern Ukraine, Russian forces kept up their push to encircle the last stronghold of resistance in Luhansk, one of two provinces that make up the country’s Donbas region. Moscow-backed separatists have controlled much of the region for eight years.
Luhansk Gov. Serhiy Haidai said the Russians were trying to encircle the city of Lysychansk and fighting for control over an oil refinery on the city’s edge.
“The shelling of the city is very intensive,” Haidai told The Associated Press. “The occupiers are destroying one house after another with heavy artillery and other weapons. Residents of Lysychansk are hiding in basements almost round the clock.”
The offensive has failed so far to cut Ukrainian supply lines, although the main highway leading west was not being used because of constant Russian shelling, the governor said. “The evacuation is impossible,” he added.
But Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said Friday that Russian and Luhansk separatist forces had taken control of the refinery as well as a mine and a gelatin factory in Lysychansk “over the last three days.”
Ukraine’s presidential office said a series of Russian strikes in the past 24 hours also killed civilians in eastern Ukraine – four in the northeastern Kharkiv region and another four in Donetsk province.
Russian bombardments killed large numbers of civilians earlier in the war, including at a hospital and a theater in the port city of Mariupol. Mass casualties had appeared to become more infrequent as Moscow concentrated on capturing the Donbas region.
However, a missile strike Monday on a shopping mall in Kremenchuk, a city in central Ukraine, killed at least 19 people and injured another 62, authorities said Friday.
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday denied that Russian forces targeted the shopping mall, saying that his country doesn’t hit civilian facilities. He claimed the target in Kremenchuk was a nearby weapons depot, echoing the remarks of his military officials.

Greg Salmon is General Manager, North America, Agent3, a global provider of creative, powerful ABM programs.
Measurement is what keeps us disciplined and transparent. If we share numbers that are accurate, relevant and holistic, then we optimize our chances of winning buy-in, growing our resource levels and ultimately delivering clear and demonstrable success. Over the years, I’ve worked with hundreds—maybe even thousands—of clients seeking to demonstrate ABM success. Those who do it best use the eight principles described below.
Assess maturity. From the outset, consider your maturity level and how well your organization plans and executes ABM strategies. ABM newbies may start by assessing a small subset of results for a first foray, leaving a cross-departmental, holistic view of ABM performance for a later time. By candidly assessing your ABM maturity level, it will become easier to set metrics that deliver value but are attainable.
Consider time horizons. You need metrics that reflect short-, medium- and long-term success. Often, organizations will have vanity metrics such as clicks or website visits, and they may even have access (typically through sales) to pipeline or bookings numbers. But if medium-term engagement metrics are missing in action, then it’s impossible to join the dots from top-of-funnel metrics all the way down to pipeline and sales bookings. What is the result? Marketing loses credibility.
Focus on opportunities with a buying group. Consider the buyers that you’re attempting to influence. Identify targeted decision-makers and seek to engage them proactively. This means knowing what types of individuals play important roles—from the economic decision-maker (the budget-holder) to the champion in a deal (the lieutenant who typically shepherds the evaluation process) all the way through to key influencers and ratifiers (such as legal, procurement or security). Handing off to sales with more members of this buying group engaged should translate into a stronger acceleration of opportunities.
Gauge your internal audience. Map your key stakeholders and what they should be doing with the information your ABM dashboard is providing them. Do you need to make the case for increased funds from your CMO? Or is there a need to operationally track how particular activities are performing? Perhaps both of these are key needs. In fact, it is a best practice to have multiple views of reporting to meet the needs of different internal audiences at different levels.
Lock in data sources. The ability to build an ABM dashboard is only as good as the availability of data to populate it in an automated, accurate and predictable way. It may be that you can’t access data as it’s in a silo, for data protection reasons or because the data is dirty or unmanaged. Alternatively, there may be soft factors in play: People in a certain department are just too busy, or they haven’t bought into why this is important. So tell them and start removing roadblocks.
Invest in reporting technologies. You need a way to access data that may be different than in the past, so it’s important to audit availability. Data will need to be aggregated across sources and platforms, and you will need to be able to slice and dice by account and/or cluster. Reporting should be dynamic to see trends—for example, accounts showing surging interest or moving into later sales stages. And consider investing in visualization technologies that automate reporting and facilitate communication.
Build an operations partnership. Reporting on ABM is no solo role; it’s a shared responsibility where complementary skills are intertwined. An ABM leader brings the vision and know-how to key audiences, suggesting how and when reports are issued and what success looks like. Marketing ops experts bring an ABM leader’s vision to life, creating a data strategy, determining what’s possible and where there are gating factors such as limited availability of data sources. These two functions must work hand in hand for successful ABM program measurement.
Be realistic. Sometimes the ABM technology stack can be a suboptimal mishmash, and often data can be elusive and hard to integrate. Accept that peak ABM success takes time and there’s no shame in treating this as an iterative process.
Above all else, recognize that ABM measurement done well is not simply a tweak from “regular” reporting. ABM measurement requires new tools, new processes and often new technologies. But fear not. There are many ways to make the change manageable, and the key is to get started. Get started forging a strong partnership between ABM and operations leaders. Get started auditing what data sources are available. Get started measuring a patch of accounts with the capabilities you have today. It may take some time to have the ultimate ABM dashboard, but you’ll be on the right path.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Days after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that states can prohibit abortion, Alabama has seized on the decision to argue that the state should also be able to ban gender-affirming medical treatments for transgender youths.
The case marks one of the first known instances in which a conservative state has tried to apply the abortion ruling to other realms, just as LGBTQ advocates and others were afraid would happen.
Critics have expressed fear that the legal reasoning behind the high court ruling could lead to a rollback of decisions involving such matters as gay marriage, birth control and parental rights.
The state is asking a federal appeals court to lift an injunction and let it enforce an Alabama law that would make it a felony to give puberty blockers or hormones to transgender minors to help affirm their gender identity.
In its historic ruling last Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court said terminating a pregnancy is not a fundamental constitutional right because abortion is not mentioned in the Constitution and is not “deeply rooted in this nation’s history and tradition.”
In a brief filed Monday, the Alabama attorney general’s office argued similarly that gender transition treatments are not “deeply rooted in our history or traditions,” and thus the state has the authority to ban them. Alabama contends such treatments are dangerous and experimental, a view disputed by medical organizations.
Shannon Minter, legal director of the National Center for Lesbian Rights, said this is the first case he is aware of in which a state cited the abortion ruling on another issue, but added, “It won’t be the last.”
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito said in the majority opinion that the abortion ruling should not cast “doubt on precedents that do not concern abortion.” But Justice Clarence Thomas wrote that the same legal reasoning should be used to reconsider high court rulings protecting same-sex marriage, gay sex and contraceptives.
“It is no surprise that Alabama and other extremely conservative states are going to take up that invitation as forcefully as they can,” Minter said. “Justice Thomas’ concurrence was a declaration of war on groups already under attack, and we expect the hostility to be escalated.”
In the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s so-called Dobbs decision, Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, in an interview with NewsNation, did not rule out defending a state law against gay sex if the GOP-controlled Legislature were to approve a new one. The previous one was struck down by the high court in 2003.
On the opposite side of the political spectrum, Massachusetts lawmakers are looking to increase state protections for gender-affirming care, in addition to abortion, in reaction to the Supreme Court ruling.
Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall was unavailable for comment Thursday, a spokesman said.
Jeff Walker, who has a 15-year-old transgender daughter, said this spring that it felt as if Alabama were attacking families like his with legislation targeting transgender kids’ medication and dictating their choice of school bathrooms, locker rooms and sports teams. He said the state’s argument in this case is worrisome for everyone.
“I think everyone should be concerned by the wording of this appeal. By this logic, any health care the state feels isn’t in line with its morals or beliefs should be banned,” Walker said.
The Alabama case could become an early test of where judges stand on the scope of the abortion ruling. The appeals court granted the state’s request for an expedited schedule for submitting briefs, and a decision could come as early as this fall.
While Alabama was already appealing the injunction in the transgender medication case, the state quickly incorporated the abortion decision into its filing.
Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey this spring signed the law making it a crime punishable by up to 10 years in prison to dispense certain medication to minors to help with their gender transition.
A federal judge in May issued a preliminary injunction blocking the measure, siding with parents who said the law violates their children’s rights and their own rights to direct their youngsters’ medical care.
“What’s interesting about Supreme Court decisions is they tend to have a life of their own,” said Alison Gash, a professor of political science at the University of Oregon.
Courts have generally supported the right of parents to make medical decisions for their children, including in cases where families don’t want to get cancer treatments recommended by doctors, Gash said. She said she is expecting to see more arguments like Alabama’s arising out of the Dobbs decision, and they could have a major effect on the right to make medical decisions.
“A lot of us feel like the guardrails have completely fallen off, because there is no real predictability about how relevant Dobbs will be to a whole wide range of issues that affect so many different vulnerable communities,” Gash said.

DUBLIN, July 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Endo International plc (NASDAQ: ENDP) today announced top-line results from its Phase 2 study of Collagenase Clostridium Histolyticum (or "CCH") in participants with adhesive capsulitis (AC) of the shoulder, commonly known as "frozen shoulder." While Phase 2 study participants receiving up to three doses of CCH showed some improvement in the change from baseline in the adapted American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) Standardized Shoulder Form composite score for the affected shoulder at the Day 95 visit, the difference compared to those study participants receiving placebo was not statistically significant. The safety profile of CCH in the Phase 2 study was consistent with the known safety profile from other studies. Most treatment-emergent adverse events were of mild to moderate severity with the most common events following treatment with CCH being injection site bruising, arthralgia, injection site pain, injection site swelling and contusion.
"We are disappointed in the study outcome, and based on these data, we will be reevaluating our path forward for CCH for the treatment of adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder. We will continue focusing on our pipeline, including with respect to other potential CCH indications," said James P. Tursi, M.D., Executive Vice President, Global Research & Development at Endo. "We are committed to advancing our strategic priority of expanding and enhancing our portfolio for growth."
The Phase 2 trial enrolled 198 participants with unilateral idiopathic AC of the shoulder with restricted range of motion (ROM) and function in the affected shoulder. Participants were randomized 1:1 to receive CCH or placebo administered by ultrasound-guided injection. Participants received up to 3 injections separated by a minimum of 21 days. Participants completed standard home exercises and received physical therapy at designated time points during the study.
The Phase 2 trial's primary endpoint was the change from baseline in the adapted American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) Standardized Shoulder Form composite score for the affected shoulder at the Day 95 visit. This adapted scale measures pain and function parameters of the shoulder. Secondary endpoints included measures of passive and active range of motion improvement (PROM and AROM respectively).
About Adhesive Capsulitis
Adhesive capsulitis (AC) is characterized by a painful and gradual loss of active and passive shoulder motion resulting from fibrosis and contracture of the joint capsule. It is a specific pathologic entity in which chronic inflammation of the joint capsule produces thickening and fibrosis. Patients typically present with pain of insidious onset of several months' duration.1 AC is believed to affect from 3% to 5% of the U.S. general population with an incidence of up to 20% in those with diabetes.2
Treatment options include a range of conservative and potentially even surgical measures. Oral and intra-articular corticosteroids have been shown to have a limited benefit in reducing pain and increasing ROM in AC. Physical therapy (PT) to the limit of pain is widely accepted as part of the management of AC, commonly in the early stages of the disease.3 More invasive management options include nerve blocks, a variety of injection options with varying degrees of efficacy demonstrated and ultimately, hydrodilatation or manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) may be required. Arthroscopic capsular release has also been used to treat AC often as a last resort, with the associated risks of postoperative pain, recurrent postoperative AC, and axillary nerve damage, as well as the risks associated with general anesthesia.3

The occurrence or possibility of any such result has caused us to engage and may result in further engagement in strategic reviews that ultimately may result in our pursuing one or more significant corporate transactions or other remedial measures, including on a preventative or proactive basis. Those remedial measures could include a potential corporate reorganization, restructuring or bankruptcy filing involving all or a portion of our business, asset sales or other divestitures, cost-saving initiatives, corporate realignments or strategic partnerships.
