Brown sauce has had its chips! Shoppers shun traditional sauces such as HP and English mustard in favour of more exotic flavours like Nando's Peri-Peri, data shows
- Classic British sauces are becoming less popular for younger people
- Brown sauce, English Mustard and even ketchup are falling in popularity
- Millennials are choosing more exotic flavours found in Nando’s Peri-Peri
Brown sauce has long been a favourite for families across the country, but it is apparently no longer cutting the mustard for many British households.
Sales of the popular spiced condiment – of which HP is the most recognisable brand – have dropped by 12.4 per cent, according to The Grocer magazine.
It is part of a general fall in popularity for traditional condiments across the board, with shoppers also shunning such staples as English mustard and ketchup in favour of more exotic flavours, such as Nando’s Peri-Peri.
But food experts believe brown sauce, commonly consumed alongside a full English breakfast, may have fallen out of favour with avocado-loving millennials.
Classic sauces like brown sauce (HP bottle pictured) are becoming less popular with Millennials
While spicier options like Nando's peri-peri sauce are more popular than ever
Pam Digva, who co-founded Sauce Shop along with husband James in 2014, said: ‘I think there’s always space on the plate for ketchup, but I’m afraid brown sauce just doesn’t go with a lot of the sorts of food people eat these days.
‘People are much more likely to be enjoying avocados on toast or a shakshuka for breakfast rather than a big greasy fry-up, and they’re eating spicier sauces with these. Our brown sauce is absolutely delicious, but it just isn’t as popular as our bestselling product, the 12:51 Scotch Bonnet Jam.’ Ms Digva said she believed a surge in takeaway food orders during the Covid lockdown, coupled with more adventurous home cooking, had exposed people’s palates to a broader range of flavours.
She added: ‘Buffalo hot sauce is also really popular, and I put that down to the fact that there are just so many wing restaurants on Deliveroo. People are much more exposed to spicy, more exotic food.’
Ms Digva also said that many families were choosing to recreate popular takeaway meals at home, rather than forking out for an expensive delivery.
Chef Sohini Banerjee, who has developed her own range of chutneys with South Asian ingredients specialist Fudco, said many of her friends were choosing more versatile condiments such as pickles and chutneys over those that traditionally go with just the one type of meal.
But she said there should still be a space in every store cupboard for a trusty bottle of HP.
She added: ‘It’s got a bit of tamarind, a bit of sugar. Often I’ll reach for it if I’m looking to add a bit of sweetness or saltiness to a meal, such as a pasta sauce. If a dish needs an umami kick, I’m willing to use a brown sauce or ketchup.’ | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10976993/Shoppers-shun-traditional-sauces-HP-favour-exotic-flavours-like-Nandos-Peri-Peri.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-07-03T00:24:42Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10976993/Shoppers-shun-traditional-sauces-HP-favour-exotic-flavours-like-Nandos-Peri-Peri.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true |

VINTON, Va. – A piece of history in Vinton is now gone after a fire early Saturday morning destroyed four apartments and a two-story music center.
A charred smell lingers on Lee Avenue as Vinton residents stare in shock and devastation.
“Heartbreak. Its heartbreaking,” Vinton Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Angie Chewning said. “Vinton is a tight community.”
Early Saturday morning, a fire engulfed a two-story music building and collapsed the roof of the Edward Jones Investment business.
Four apartments on the top floor were crushed and eight adults are now without a home.
Donnie and Rhonda, the owners of D. R. Music Center, broke out in tears as they saw what’s left of their music business after 39 years.
A $100,000 worth of instruments now destroyed.
D.R. Music Center was Tony Smith’s second home as a teenager and the spot where his son took lessons.
“Its kind of like a punch in the gut really because these people, the owners, are nice people,” Smith said. “Watch your kids grow up here.”
It’s a piece of history dated back to 1930.
The fire department says the butted multi-functional buildings will take time to clean up and will be demolished.
“This is rather unique,” Roanoke County Fire Department Brian Clingenpeel said. “Something we don’t see a lot of.”
Though a gift shop next door faced no damages, Dawn Sullivan says she feels the owners pain.
“We look out for each other and we’re a family is what I say,” Rustic Creations Owner Dawn Sullivan said. “And we all stick together and it’s a huge loss to all of us to see them go.”
Not much was salvaged from the investment building but residents were thrilled when a firefighter rescued an American flag.
A reminder that 4th of July is still around the corner.
The cause of the fire is still being investigated. There were no injuries but three cats died.
Anyone traveling near downtown Vinton Saturday evening and Sunday should note the road closures on South Pollard Street and East Lee Avenue. | https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2022/07/03/vinton-community-wipes-away-tears-after-losing-a-beloved-music-store-to-a-fire/ | 2022-07-03T00:40:42Z | https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2022/07/03/vinton-community-wipes-away-tears-after-losing-a-beloved-music-store-to-a-fire/ | true |

NEW YORK (AP) — Kole Calhoun homered twice and drove in four runs, Martín Pérez won his seventh straight decision and the Texas Rangers beat the New York Mets 7-3 on Saturday.
Calhoun hit a three-run shot off spot starter Trevor Williams in the second inning and third-year catcher Jonah Heim followed with his career-high 11th home run to give the Rangers a 4-2 lead. Both drives reached the front of the second deck in right field, giving Texas its fifth set of back-to-back homers this season.
Starling Marte launched an early two-run homer and Eduardo Escobar also went deep against Pérez (7-2), who had given up only two long balls in 15 starts covering 93 1/3 innings coming in.
But the 31-year-old lefty yielded nothing else, permitting seven hits and two walks with four strikeouts in 6 2/3 innings. He is 7-0 in his last 11 starts, making a strong bid for his first All-Star selection this month.
After losing his first two starts this season, Pérez is unbeaten in his last 14 — a career best. His seven-game winning streak matches a career high set in 2017. Texas has won 11 of his past 12 outings.
Dennis Santana got four outs for the Rangers, and Joe Barlow finished up.
Calhoun, who struck out all four times up in Friday night's loss, sent an opposite-field solo shot to left in the fourth for his ninth career multi-homer game and second this season. He batted just .181 in his previous 24 games.
Corey Seager added an RBI single for Texas in the eighth, and Leody Taveras homered off Tommy Hunter in the ninth.
Williams (1-5) went 3 2/3 innings, allowing five runs and five hits in his seventh start of the year. He filled in a day after Chris Bassitt was scratched and placed on the injured list, with Mets manager Buck Showalter hinting the right-hander was dealing with COVID-19.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Rangers: RHP Spencer Howard was added to the taxi squad and threw a bullpen at Citi Field. He's a likely candidate to start Tuesday at Baltimore.
Mets: RHP Jacob deGrom is scheduled to throw about 25 pitches and two innings Sunday night in his first minor league rehab start for Class A St. Lucie. The two-time Cy Young Award winner has been sidelined all season because of a stress reaction in his right scapula that caused inflammation. He missed the second half of last season with a sprained elbow and hasn't pitched in the majors since July 7, 2021. ... 2B/LF Jeff McNeil was out of the starting lineup to rest his right leg and flied out as a pinch-hitter in the eighth. McNeil returned Tuesday after missing five games with hamstring tightness. “Just managing the leg, making sure we take some precautions,” Showalter said. “He doesn't have any pain, any restrictions. Just kind of, you can tell he's a little tentative about it." ... RHP Trevor May (right triceps inflammation) threw off a mound and could make a minor league rehab appearance next week.
BABY WATCH
Mets LHP David Peterson traveled to Denver to join wife Alex, who is expecting the couple’s first child. Peterson moved up a day and pitched six innings Friday night in Bassitt's place, striking out 10 in a 4-3 win. He won't be replaced on the active roster until the team formally puts Peterson on the paternity list, but it's uncertain who will start Wednesday in Cincinnati when his next turn in the rotation comes up.
UP NEXT
Texas RHP Jon Gray (4-3, 3.89 ERA) tries to win his career-best fourth straight start Sunday when he faces RHP Carlos Carrasco (8-4, 4.85) in the series finale. Gray is 1-2 with an 8.87 ERA in five career games against the Mets. Carrasco is coming off a pair of rough outings in consecutive losses to Houston.

Kole Calhoun homers twice to lead Rangers past Mets
Kole Calhoun hit two of Texas' four home runs as the visiting Rangers posted a 7-3 victory over the New York Mets on Saturday.
Jonah Heim and Leody Taveras also homered for Texas, which improved to 3-2 on its nine-game road trip. Calhoun had four RBIs in the ninth multi-homer game of his career.
Martin Perez (7-2) settled in after allowing Starling Marte's two-run homer in the first inning and recorded his 50th victory with the Rangers.
Eduardo Escobar homered for the second straight game for the Mets, who have lost four of their last five.
New York took an early lead in the first when Brandon Nimmo singled to begin the game and Marte hit with a 418-foot homer just over the center-field fence.
Texas responded with four runs in the second inning against Trevor Williams (1-5). Calhoun belted a three-run homer with one out and Heim followed with a 385-foot blast to right field.
Calhoun delivered again with two outs in the fourth, depositing Williams' 1-0 offering over the left-field fence.
Williams allowed five runs on five hits over 3 2/3 innings. He walked one and struck out three.
New York pulled within 5-3 on Escobar's leadoff homer in the fourth off Perez, who had yielded a total of two home runs in his first 15 starts covering 93 1/3 innings.
The Mets had two runners on in the fifth with one out, but Perez induced a double-play grounder from Pete Alonso to end the inning.
Texas added a run in the eighth on Corey Seager's one-out RBI single, and another in the ninth on Taveras' second home run of the season.
Perez allowed three runs on seven hits over 6 2/3 innings with two walks and four strikeouts. The 31-year-old has won his last seven decisions.
Marte, Escobar and Francisco Lindor each had two hits for New York, which went 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position. The Mets have scored a total of 10 runs over their last five games.

HANFORD, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE)- A man is dead after he was hit by a freight train on Saturday morning in the Central Valley.
Hanford police officers responded to a call of a freight train versus a pedestrian just after 9:00 a.m. in the area of 7th Street and Santa Fe Avenue, near the Amtrak train station.
Investigators say a man believed to be in a wheelchair was pronounced dead at the scene.
Detectives say details are limited and they aren’t sure why the man was that close to the tracks while the freight train was passing through the area. The train remained in place on the tracks until around noon.
The Hanford Police Department is handling the investigation into the incident.
The Kings County Coroner’s office is working on identifying the man to be able to notify his next of kin.
Anyone with information about this crash is asked to call the Hanford Police Department at (559) 585-2540. | https://www.yourcentralvalley.com/news/local-news/man-hit-killed-by-train-in-hanford/ | 2022-07-03T01:19:55Z | https://www.yourcentralvalley.com/news/local-news/man-hit-killed-by-train-in-hanford/ | false |
GAUHATI, India (AP) — Fresh rain and falling boulders on Saturday hampered rescuers who have so far pulled out 26 bodies from the debris of a mudslide that wiped out a railroad construction site in India’s northeast, officials said.
Rescue work is expected to continue for a couple of days in rugged hilly terrain with little hope of finding survivors among 37 people still missing since Wednesday night.
Pankaj Kavidayal, a rescue official, said 21 of the confirmed 26 dead were members of the Territorial Army. Army personnel had been providing security for the railway officials because of a decades-old insurgency seeking a separate homeland for ethnic and tribal groups in the area.
More than 250 soldiers, rescuers and police using bulldozers and other equipment were involved in the operation in Noney, a town near Imphal, the capital of Manipur state. They have been cautioned about fresh mudslides reported in the region on Saturday.
Excavators were also used to search for bodies in a river.
Thirteen soldiers and five civilians have been rescued from the debris of the entirely swept away railroad station, staff residential quarters and other infrastructure that was being built, Kavidayal said. Continuous rainfall over the past three weeks has wreaked havoc across India’s northeast — eight states and 45 million people — and neighboring Bangladesh.
An estimated 200 people have been killed in heavy downpours and mudslides in states including Assam, Manipur, Tripura and Sikkim, while 42 have died in Bangladesh since May 17. Hundreds of thousands have been displaced.
Scientists say climate change is a factor behind the erratic, early rains that triggered unprecedented floods. Monsoon rains in South Asia typically begin in June, but torrential rain lashed northeastern India and Bangladesh as early as March this year.
With rising global temperatures due to climate change, experts say the monsoon season is becoming more variable, meaning that much of the rain that would typically fall throughout the season arrives in a shorter period. | https://pix11.com/ap-international/rescuers-recover-26-dead-from-mudslide-in-indias-northeast/ | 2022-07-03T01:20:21Z | https://pix11.com/ap-international/rescuers-recover-26-dead-from-mudslide-in-indias-northeast/ | true |
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Clinics were shutting down abortion services in the nation’s second-largest state Saturday after the Texas Supreme Court blocked an order briefly allowing the procedure to resume in some cases, the latest in legal scrambles taking place across the U.S. following the reversal of Roe v. Wade.
The Friday night ruling stopped a three-day-old order by a Houston judge who said clinics could resume abortions up to six weeks into pregnancy. The following day, the American Civil Liberties Union said it doubted that any abortions were now being provided in a state of nearly 30 million people.
Amy Hagstrom Miller, president of Whole Woman’s Health, said the ruling forced an end to abortions in its four Texas clinics, and workers there were winding down abortion operations and having “heartbreaking conversations” with women whose appointments were canceled.
“I ache for us and for the people we have dedicated our lives to serve with the fabulous abortion care we provide, many who will be denied that right in the months and possibly years to come,” Hagstrom Miller said in a statement.
Planned Parenthood’s multiple affiliates in Texas had not resumed abortion services even after the restraining order was put in place Tuesday.
At issue was a long-dormant 1925 criminal law that targets individuals who perform abortions. Clinics had argued that it was invalid after abortion became a constitutional right across the U.S. in 1973. The U.S. Supreme Court, however, struck down the landmark Roe decision June 24, leaving abortion policy to states.
“Pro-life victory! … Litigation continues, but I’ll keep winning for Texas’s unborn babies,” said Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Republican, who had asked the state Supreme Court to intervene.
Separately, Texas has a 2021 law that was designed to ban abortion in the event that Roe were overturned. It takes effect in the weeks ahead.
“Extremist politicians are on a crusade to force Texans into pregnancy and childbirth against their will, no matter how devastating the consequences,” said Julia Kaye of the ACLU.
Providers and patients across the country have been struggling to navigate the evolving legal landscape around abortion laws and access.
In Florida, a law banning abortions after 15 weeks went into effect Friday, the day after a judge called it a violation of the state constitution and said he would sign an order temporarily blocking it next week. The ban could have broader implications in the South, as Florida currently allows greater access to the procedure than neighboring states.
Even when women travel outside states with abortion bans, they may have fewer options to end their pregnancies as the prospect of prosecution follows them.
Planned Parenthood of Montana this week stopped providing medication abortions to patients who live in states with bans.
Planned Parenthood North Central States, which offers the procedure in Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska, is telling patients they must take both pills in the regimen while in a state that allows abortion.
The use of pills has been the most common method to end a pregnancy since 2000, when the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved mifepristone, the main drug used in medication abortions. Taken with misoprostol, a drug that causes cramping that empties the womb, it constitutes the abortion pill.
Also Friday, Google, the company behind the internet’s dominant search engine and the Android software that powers most smartphones, said it would automatically purge information about users who visit abortion clinics or other places that could trigger potential legal problems.
In addition to abortion clinics, Google cited counseling centers, fertility centers, addiction treatment facilities, weight loss clinics and cosmetic surgery clinics as destinations that will be erased from location histories. Users have always had the option to edit their location histories on their own, but now Google will do it for them as an added level of protection.
“We’re committed to delivering robust privacy protections for people who use our products, and we will continue to look for new ways to strengthen and improve these protections,” Jen Fitzpatrick, a Google senior vice president, wrote in a blog post.

ELKHART LAKE, Wis. (AP) — Chase Elliott won the pole at Road America and will lead the field to green Sunday as he attempts to defend his win on the Wisconsin road course.
NASCAR’s most popular driver is coming off a win last weekend at Nashville and put himself in position to make it two straight Cup victories with a strong run qualifying run on the 4.048-mile road course. The Hendrick Motorsports driver edged Chase Briscoe by 0.038 seconds in Saturday qualifying.
That marks a major change from his starting position last year, when NASCAR’s premier series came to Road America for the first time since a Grand National event in 1956. Elliott started 34th last year but still found a way to win.
“Definitely a different vibe to the weekend,” Elliott said. “The car, I think, is going to need some different things to be successful tomorrow. I don’t think we’re as good as we need to be to be successful tomorrow, as we sit. I want to make sure we do our homework.”
Seven of Elliott’s 15 career victories have come on road courses.
Kyle Larson, Elliott’s Hendrick Motorsports teammate, qualified third. Tyler Reddick is fourth and Austin Cindric fifth.
Elliott, who enters Sunday’s event with a 30-point lead over Ross Chastain in the points standings, downplayed the advantage he will have by starting at the pole instead of the back of the pack as he did last year.
“These races are very long,” Elliott said. “Typically the cars that are superior find their way to the front, regardless of where they start. It’s nice to get a pole. You want them as much as you can, but I would much rather be good on Sunday than Saturday.”
Briscoe believed he had the fastest car and blamed himself for his inability to win the pole. Briscoe was the only Ford driver among the top four qualifiers.
“I should have run six-tenths faster than what I ran both rounds and just completely blew it,” Briscoe said. “I definitely have a really good short-run car. I don’t know what it’s going to be like on the long run, but on the short run it definitely is really good. I’ve just got to put it all together as a race-car driver. If we do that, then we should be in the hunt tomorrow.”

CCMA Leaders Mordechai Korf & Uriel Laber: "July 4th is about celebrating and giving back. What better way to commemorate Independence Day than to provide support to local veterans in our community who risked their lives for our country?"
EVENT & CHECK FOR LOCAL VETS JUST THE LATEST IN LOCAL PHILANTHROPY AND COMMUNITY SERVICE THAT'S REACHED WELL INTO SIX FIGURES OVER THE PAST YEAR
CALVERT CITY, Ky., July 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- CC Metals & Alloys (CCMA), a mining and metals company led by Mordechai Korf and Uriel Laber that employs dozens of local Kentucky workers, announced a donation to the Kentucky Lake Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 1084 and sponsored a dinner for local veterans in celebration of Independence Day Weekend.
On Friday, July 1, CCMA Plant Manager, Chris Cobb, presented a $2,500 donation to the Kentucky Lake VFW Post 1084. Nearly 100 local veterans were in attendance for the dinner sponsored by CCMA on Friday hosted at the VFW Post 1084 in Benton, KY.
"July 4th is about celebrating and giving back. What better way to commemorate Independence Day than to provide support to local veterans in our community who risked their lives for our country?" said Mordechai Korf and Uriel Laber of CCMA in a joint statement. "We are incredibly grateful for the dedication and bravery of our local veterans, and it is our honor to provide them with financial support and well-deserved recognition."
Today's announced donation follows a long history of CCMA supporting the local community. This past December, CCMA provided crucial food and housing support to six local charities helping hundreds of Kentucky families. That same month, CCMA provided over $70,000 in needed relief supplies to support the recovery of Kentucky communities after a tornado moved through Western Kentucky. In April, CCMA donated $25,000 in support to five local nonprofit organizations that provide critical food and meal services as well as family services to hundreds of families in their communities. And last month, the company presented a donation to the St. Mary School System's baseball program in Paducah.

MIAMI (AP) — Tropical Storm Colin formed along the South Carolina coast on Saturday, bringing the threat of rain and high winds for a day or two during the holiday weekend before improving for Monday’s July Fourth celebrations.
The National Hurricane Center in Miami warned of the possibility of localized flash flooding along the Carolinas coast through Sunday morning. At 11 a.m. EDT Saturday, the storm’s center was about five miles (10 kilometers) west of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, with maximum sustained winds of 40 mph (65 kph). It was moving northeast at 7 mph (11 kph).
The hurricane center said a tropical storm warning was in effect for a stretch from north of Little River, South Carolina, to Duck, North Carolina, including Pamlico Sound. The storm is not expected to strengthen as it moves into the Atlantic on Monday.
“Colin will continue to produce locally heavy rainfall across portions of coastal South and North Carolina through Sunday morning,” the center said. Isolated amounts could reach up to 4 inches (10 centimeters).
“This rainfall may result in localized areas of flash flooding,” the center said.
Some Fourth of July celebrations planned Saturday in Charleston, South Carolina, were canceled after significant water had pooled on the field at Joseph P. Riley Jr. Park and more rain was expected.
“Obviously, we’re disappointed,” said Scott Watson, the city’s director of cultural affairs. “This promised to be a great family event, and we hate to have to cancel.
Organizers were also forced to cancel a festival planned in Southport, North Carolina.
“The safety of Festival goers, vendors, volunteers, emergency workers and everyone is our highest priority,” festival spokesperson Trisha Howarth said in a statement.
Separately, the center of Tropical Storm Bonnie rolled into the Pacific on Saturday after a rapid march across Central America, where it caused flooding, downed trees and forced hundreds to evacuate in Nicaragua and Costa Rica. There were no immediate reports of deaths.
Late Saturday morning, the storm was centered about 65 miles (100 kilometers) south of the Nicaraguan capital, Managua, with maximum sustained winds of 40 mph (65 kph). It was moving to the west at 15 mph (24 kph).
It’s one of the rare storms to make an Atlantic to Pacific crossing without losing tropical storm force, thus maintaining its name. Forecasters said Bonnie is likely to become a hurricane this week off the southern coast of Mexico, but was unlikely to make a direct hit on land.
Many Nicaraguans still remember Hurricane Joan, a powerful 1988 storm that wreaked havoc on the coast and caused almost 150 deaths in the country.
“We are waiting for the storm to hit, hoping that it won’t destroy our region,” Bluefields resident Ricardo Gómez, who was 8 when Joan hit, said before Bonnie arrived.
The area was also battered by two powerful hurricanes, Eta and Iota, in quick succession in 2020, causing an estimated $700 million in damage.
Officials in Costa Rica expressed concern that the storm would unleash landslides and flooding in an area already saturated by days of rain. The government said seven shelters in the northern part of the country already held nearly 700 people displaced by flooding. | https://www.yourbasin.com/news/tropical-storm-colin-threatens-a-wet-weekend-for-carolinas/ | 2022-07-03T01:45:05Z | https://www.yourbasin.com/news/tropical-storm-colin-threatens-a-wet-weekend-for-carolinas/ | true |

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greece is receiving European assistance for the summer wildfire season, with the first group of firefighters arriving in Athens.
The 28 Romanian firefighters were welcomed Saturday by Climate Crisis and Civil Protection Minister Christos Stylianides and the leadership of Greece’s Fire Service. A total of more than 200 firefighters from six European countries will eventually be deployed to Greece.
“Romania is happy to join the pre-positioning program with a specialized firefighting force,” Romanian team leader Col. Alexandru-Adrian Csilik said. “We have a previous experience here in Greece.”
The Romanians, along with other countries, including Russia and Turkey, helped Greece fight widespread wildfires in August 2021, which broke out across the country and devastated the northern part of Evia, Greece’s second-largest island, as well as the southern Peloponnese peninsula.
This year, the EU has set up a “pre-positioning pilot project” designed to lead to a permanent Europe-wide cooperation program.
“We are scaling up preparedness to #forestfire season in Europe. As of today, +200 (firefighters) from around Europe will be strategically positioned in Greece to quickly join national forces before (fires) could get out of control,” Janez Lenarcic, Stylianides’ successor as European commissioner for crisis management, tweeted Friday.
The Romanian firefighters, who brought five fire engines along, will operate in the Attica region, which includes the capital Athens, until July 31.
Those who arrived Friday will be relieved by an equal number of Romanian firefighters on July 15. Their place will be taken in August by a 25-strong French contingent.
A team of 16 Bulgarian firefighters, with four fire engines, also arrived Friday in the city of Larissa, in central Greece, and was welcomed by local authorities and Fire Service officers. The Bulgarians will stay in the area throughout July.
On July 15, 16 German firefighters will start operating in the Peloponnese; they will be replaced in early August by 14 Norwegian and 24 Finnish firefighters, who will be relieved once, in mid-August, by an equal number of their compatriots.
Wildfires are frequent in Greece, helped by the hot and dry weather and frequent high winds. Climate change also means that wildfire seasons are also getting longer.
Greek authorities say higher fuel costs have added to challenges facing the fire service, which relies heavily on water-dropping planes to battle blazes in the mountainous country.
Greece will begin using fire retardant chemicals in water drops this year and will also use starting fires tactically to fight larger blazes.
Four of the six leaders of the foreign contingents watched a live firefighting exercise west of Athens on Thursday. The leaders of the German and Norwegian teams watched the exercise online.
A study by an international consortium of research institutions shows that the expanded wildfire seasons and intensity of the fires will also negatively impact efforts to limit carbon dioxide emissions because of dwindling forests, which are normally effective carbon absorbers. The study even suggests that the intensity of wildfires could progressively exceed current firefighting capabilities.

Dozens of insurers face probe by finance watchdog who has asked them to prove they are not breaking the rules by hitting existing customers with hefty price hikes when they renew policies
- Up to 100 insurers are being probed by the watchdog over insurance renewals
- New rules were supposed to ban charging existing customers more than new ones
- Hundreds of Mail on Sunday readers say they had big price rises on renewal
- FCA launched promised to save customers £4.2 billion over the next ten years
Up to 100 insurers are being probed by the City watchdog over concerns they are hitting customers with hefty price hikes when they renew home or car cover policies, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.
New rules introduced in January by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) were supposed to ban insurers from charging existing customers more than new ones.
But this newspaper has heard from hundreds of readers who say they have been hit by big price rises on renewal – and some found they could get a cheaper rate if they applied to their insurer as a new customer.
Hundreds of Mail on Sunday readers say they had big price rises on renewal of their insurance
The MoS understands the FCA has now asked between 60 and 100 companies – comprising both brokers and insurers – to prove they are not breaking the rules.
They have been targeted by the regulator after complaints were made by MPs on behalf of constituents, and by consumer groups and the MoS.
This follows a six-month investigation by this newspaper into whether the rules, designed to ensure all customers are treated fairly, are being adhered to. All insurers vigorously deny they are breaking the rules.
The FCA said: 'We are in the process of testing data from insurers of various sizes to make sure they are meeting their obligations to get rid of the discrimination against loyal customers'
When the FCA launched its crackdown, it promised to save long-standing insurance customers £4.2 billion over the next ten years by eradicating the 'loyalty premium' – or 'price walking' as it is also called. This is the practice of offering a cheap introductory rate and then hiking the price each year to claw in more profit from loyal customers.
The FCA said: 'We are in the process of testing data from insurers of various sizes to make sure they are meeting their obligations to get rid of the discrimination against loyal customers.
'We are thankful for the market intelligence provided to us by various parties, including The Mail on Sunday, along with many customers, which has greatly assisted us.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10976973/Insurers-face-watchdog-probe-prove-dont-hit-customers-price-hikes-renew.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | 2022-07-03T01:49:09Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10976973/Insurers-face-watchdog-probe-prove-dont-hit-customers-price-hikes-renew.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | true |

A large group of people carrying flags and shields marched along downtown Boston's Freedom Trail Saturday, according to the Boston Police Department -- and video footage of the group obtained by CNN shows the flags bearing the symbol of the White nationalist Patriot Front group.
Police received a call at 12:30 p.m. that around 100 people were protesting, walking on Congress Street toward the Old State House and City Hall Plaza, BPD Officer Kim Tavares told CNN. No arrests were made, nor was their route known, Tavares said. The group eventually boarded a train and departed from the scene, the officer added.
Social media video posted online shows dozens of individuals clutching shields and at least two different flags, including Patriot Front flags and upside-down US flags. Last month, a group believed to be affiliated with the Patriot Front was arrested after authorities said they planned to riot at a Pride event in Idaho.
In a letter posted on Facebook, City Councilor Ed Flynn lamented the Patriot Front's repeated presence at events in Boston during the past year.
"It is wholly repugnant to once again read reports, and see videos on social media, about dozens of neo-Nazis making another brazen public display with their hateful ideology," Flynn said. "Although all people of goodwill and decency are both angered and extremely disturbed by the increased activity we continue to witness from neo-Nazis and white supremacist groups locally, we can no longer say that we're surprised with what we continue to see across the country, unfortunately."
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu echoed the sentiment, writing on Twitter that "the disgusting hate of white supremacists has no place here," especially "when so many of our rights are under attack, we will not normalize intimidation by bigots."
"As we mark Boston's legacy as the cradle of liberty, we celebrate the continued fight to expand those liberties for all," the mayor added.
Robert Trestan, the director for the Anti-Defamation League New England, said on Twitter the "Patriot Front marching alongside the freedom trail on 4th of July holiday weekend is an insult to all who fought for freedom, equality, justice."

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — The latest in a litany of horrors in Ukraine came this week as Russian firepower rained down on civilians in a busy shopping mall far from the front lines of a war in its fifth month.
The timing was not likely a coincidence.
While much of the attritional war in Ukraine’s east is hidden from sight, the brutality of Russian missile strikes on a mall in the central city of Kremenchuk and on residential buildings in the capital, Kyiv, unfolded in full view of the world and especially of Western leaders gathered for a trio of summits in Europe.
Were the attacks a message from Russian President Vladimir Putin as the West sought to arm Ukraine with more effective weapons to bolster its resistance, and to set Ukraine on the path to joining the European Union?
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko suggested as much when missiles struck the capital on June 26, three days after EU leaders unanimously agreed to make Ukraine a candidate for membership.
It was “maybe a symbolic attack” as the Group of Seven leading economic powers and then NATO leaders prepared to meet and apply further pressure on Moscow, he said. At least six people were killed in the Kyiv strike, which pummeled an apartment building.
The former commanding general of U.S. Army forces in Europe, retired Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges, went further in connecting the attack and the meetings. “The Russians are humiliating the leaders of the West,” he said.
A day after the Kyiv attack, as G-7 leaders met in Germany to discuss further support for Ukraine during their annual summit, Russia fired missiles at a crowded shopping mall in the central Ukrainian city of Kremenchuk, killing at least 19 people.
The timing of both attacks appeared to be juxtaposed with the European meetings of U.S. President Joe Biden, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and French President Emmanuel Macron, all supporters of Ukraine.
Defying the evidence, Putin and his officials deny that Russia hit residential areas. Putin has denied that Russian forces targeted the Kremenchuk mall, saying it was directed at a nearby weapons depot. But Ukrainian officials and witnesses said a missile directly hit the mall.
It was hardly the first time that bursts of violence were widely seen as signals of Moscow’s displeasure. In late April, Russian missiles struck Kyiv barely an hour after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a news conference with visiting U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
“This says a lot about Russia’s true attitude toward global institutions,” Zelenskyy said at the time. Kyiv’s mayor called the attack Putin’s way of giving the “middle finger.”
The Russian president recently warned that Moscow would strike targets it had so far spared if the West supplied Ukraine with weapons that could reach Russia. If Kyiv gets long-range rockets, Russia will “draw appropriate conclusions and use our means of destruction, which we have plenty of,” Putin said.
On Friday, a day after Russian forces made a high-profile retreat from Snake Island near the Black Sea port city of Odesa following what Ukraine called a barrage of artillery and missile strikes, Russia bombarded residential areas in a coastal town near Odesa and killed at least 21 people, including two children.
While Russia’s messaging can be blunt and devastating, Ukraine’s signals under Zelenskyy have focused daily on seeking to amplify Moscow’s cruelty to a world that day by day risks becoming weary of the war.
If interest fades, the concerted support seen at global summits could fade, too. and with it the urgency to deliver the heavier weapons that Ukraine craves.
Zelenskyy tends to pair pleas for more help with reminders that all of Europe ultimately is at stake.
He described the mall attack as “one of the most daring terrorist attacks in European history.”
For all of Ukraine’s indisputable suffering, it was a bold statement of some hyperbole in the context of extremist attacks with mass deaths in Paris, Nice, Brussels, Madrid and London in this century alone.
For Zelenskyy and Ukraine, the underlying demand cannot be reiterated enough: provide more heavy weapons, and faster, before Russia perhaps makes irreversible gains in the eastern industrial region of the Donbas, where street-by-street fighting grinds on.
In his nightly public addresses, Zelenskyy also makes sure to capture the traumatic toll on everyday life in Ukraine, appealing well beyond global leaders to the wider world.
This week, he accused Russia of sabotaging “people’s attempts to live a normal life.”
Images of the shopping mall’s smoking debris said the rest.

Home Depot is one of the best places to buy tools. They carry mostly well-known brands, and you can purchase many tools in sets. Many power tools are over 20% to 30% off during the July 4th sales event.
Cordless drills
Cordless drills are more versatile and nearly as powerful as corded-electric models. Many cordless drills feature batteries that you can use with other cordless tools. For example, Milwaukee cordless drills include batteries you can use with Milwaukee-brand impact drivers, nail guns and orbit sanders.
Socket wrench sets
Socket wrenches let you reach places that many adjustable wrenches can’t. You’ll want a set of wrenches that can stand up to extreme forces. Wrenches made from chrome, vanadium and molybdenum tend to be the strongest.
Power tool sets
If you need several tools, you can save money buying them in a set. Home Depot has comprehensive tool sets that have everything you’ll need. Still, you can save money buying a smaller set with just a few items. Many power tool sets include durable bags to store your new array of tools.
Home Depot 4th of July lawn and garden deals
Since the sale is in the middle of the summer, it’s an ideal time to buy lawn and garden supplies. Whether you’re planting a garden or just need new lawn tools, Home Depot is sure to have what you need.
Planters
Planters are an ideal way to grow vegetables or flowers. When buying a planter, you should consider its size, material and weight. Large ones are often relatively expensive, but they result in larger plants. You may decide to move your plants, so you’ll want planters that aren’t too heavy to carry.
Lawn mowers
Lawn mowers are the most important landscaping tool you’ll ever buy. Cordless mowers are among the quietest but least powerful. Corded-electric mowers are generally more powerful than cordless models, but the cord can get in the way. Gas mowers are typically the most powerful, although they’re loud and often require maintenance.
Home Depot 4th of July major appliance deals
Home Depot has every type of appliance you could imagine. If you’ve never bought a major appliance online, this is an excellent time to try it. Home Depot offers free shipping on most orders over $45 and most major appliances.
Refrigerators
You can shop for refrigerators from well-known brands like Samsung and LG. When shopping for a refrigerator, you’ll want to consider whether you want a top-freezer, bottom-freezer or side-by-side model. Additionally, it’s important to consider the fridge’s dimensions. If you have a cabinet that hangs over your refrigerator, it may be best to choose a shorter model.
Many refrigerators have additional features that are worth considering. For example, some have showcase doors that let you access frequently used products without opening the entire door.
Electric ranges
Electric ranges are often more affordable and safer than gas models. Many feature smooth glass cooktops and expandable burners. When buying an electric range, it’s important to consider its size, energy consumption and additional features.
Washers and dryers
When choosing a washer and dryer, you’ll want to know whether you want a top-load or front-load model. Front-load washers often require less water than top-load models. Additionally, they’re usually quieter and allow clothes to dry more quickly. Still, top-load washers typically have a larger capacity and don’t require you to bend down.

'Vote Perry Out': Protesters chant during rally outside York County Administration Building
On Saturday, a group of protesters and activists from York and Cumberland counties gathered on the steps of the York County Administration Building to demand U.S. Rep. Scott Perry resign.
The protest came after Perry's refusal to cooperate with the January 6th Committee, the special congressional panel that heard testimony he sought a presidential pardon and pushed a debunked conspiracy theory involving Italian satellites changing votes for Donald Trump to Joe Biden.
Ann Durand, a protester from Cumberland County, said she attended to speak up against what's going on in the country.
"The fact that truth doesn't mean truth anymore," she said. "I just want to speak and vent my anger somewhere, and this is a good place to do that."
Marta Peck, a York County resident, was there to say that Perry is not a patriot and he's violating his oath and commitment to the Constitution.
"He's got to go," Peck said. "My message to Perry is that you are a traitor and you do not represent me in Congress."
More:'Pure insanity': Scott Perry pushed conspiracy theory that Italian satellites changed votes
But Perry denies he asked for a pardon. In a statement, he wrote, "I stand by my statement that I never sought a Presidential pardon for myself or other Members of Congress. At no time did I speak with Miss Hutchinson, a White House scheduler, nor any White House staff about a pardon for myself or any other Member of Congress — this never happened.”
Democrat Shamaine Daniels, who will face off against Perry in the fall for the 10th Congressional District, said at the rally that Perryt denies the allegations on Twitter but refuses to do so under oath.
More:Here's what some Yorkers have to say about Rep. Scott Perry and Jan. 6 panel
"He's an extremist and does not represent this district, our communities, our values," she said. "His actions are downright shameful."
Susan Roller, a retired teacher and community activist, said she and others at the protest are dedicated to kicking Perry out of Congress.
"Ordinary people like us, in a desperate world, can feel very small, very insignificant," she said. "But if instead of looking at the world, we focus on our own home, America, Pennsylvania, the 10th District, we have more power than we think."
More:Politico: Former White House chief of staff burned papers after meeting with Scott Perry
Chad Baker, chair of the Democratic Party of York County, said Perry hasn't represented the 10th District for a long time and he's in support of Daniels for Congress.
"The fact that he asked for a pardon, you don't ask for forgiveness if you haven't done something wrong," he said.
Roller said this isn't the last rally. In the fall, the group is taking the rally on the road in Central Pennsylvania.
"So look for us and join us when we come to your hometown," she said.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — The latest in a litany of horrors in Ukraine came this week as Russian firepower rained down on civilians in a busy shopping mall far from the front lines of a war in its fifth month.
The timing was not likely a coincidence.
While much of the attritional war in Ukraine’s east is hidden from sight, the brutality of Russian missile strikes on a mall in the central city of Kremenchuk and on residential buildings in the capital, Kyiv, unfolded in full view of the world and especially of Western leaders gathered for a trio of summits in Europe.
Were the attacks a message from Russian President Vladimir Putin as the West sought to arm Ukraine with more effective weapons to bolster its resistance, and to set Ukraine on the path to joining the European Union?
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko suggested as much when missiles struck the capital on June 26, three days after EU leaders unanimously agreed to make Ukraine a candidate for membership.
It was “maybe a symbolic attack” as the Group of Seven leading economic powers and then NATO leaders prepared to meet and apply further pressure on Moscow, he said. At least six people were killed in the Kyiv strike, which pummeled an apartment building.
The former commanding general of U.S. Army forces in Europe, retired Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges, went further in connecting the attack and the meetings. “The Russians are humiliating the leaders of the West,” he said.
A day after the Kyiv attack, as G-7 leaders met in Germany to discuss further support for Ukraine during their annual summit, Russia fired missiles at a crowded shopping mall in the central Ukrainian city of Kremenchuk, killing at least 19 people.
The timing of both attacks appeared to be juxtaposed with the European meetings of U.S. President Joe Biden, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and French President Emmanuel Macron, all supporters of Ukraine.
Defying the evidence, Putin and his officials deny that Russia hit residential areas. Putin has denied that Russian forces targeted the Kremenchuk mall, saying it was directed at a nearby weapons depot. But Ukrainian officials and witnesses said a missile directly hit the mall.
It was hardly the first time that bursts of violence were widely seen as signals of Moscow’s displeasure. In late April, Russian missiles struck Kyiv barely an hour after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a news conference with visiting U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
“This says a lot about Russia’s true attitude toward global institutions,” Zelenskyy said at the time. Kyiv’s mayor called the attack Putin’s way of giving the “middle finger.”
The Russian president recently warned that Moscow would strike targets it had so far spared if the West supplied Ukraine with weapons that could reach Russia. If Kyiv gets long-range rockets, Russia will “draw appropriate conclusions and use our means of destruction, which we have plenty of,” Putin said.
On Friday, a day after Russian forces made a high-profile retreat from Snake Island near the Black Sea port city of Odesa following what Ukraine called a barrage of artillery and missile strikes, Russia bombarded residential areas in a coastal town near Odesa and killed at least 21 people, including two children.
While Russia’s messaging can be blunt and devastating, Ukraine’s signals under Zelenskyy have focused daily on seeking to amplify Moscow’s cruelty to a world that day by day risks becoming weary of the war.
If interest fades, the concerted support seen at global summits could fade, too. and with it the urgency to deliver the heavier weapons that Ukraine craves.
Zelenskyy tends to pair pleas for more help with reminders that all of Europe ultimately is at stake.
He described the mall attack as “one of the most daring terrorist attacks in European history.”
For all of Ukraine’s indisputable suffering, it was a bold statement of some hyperbole in the context of extremist attacks with mass deaths in Paris, Nice, Brussels, Madrid and London in this century alone.
For Zelenskyy and Ukraine, the underlying demand cannot be reiterated enough: provide more heavy weapons, and faster, before Russia perhaps makes irreversible gains in the eastern industrial region of the Donbas, where street-by-street fighting grinds on.
In his nightly public addresses, Zelenskyy also makes sure to capture the traumatic toll on everyday life in Ukraine, appealing well beyond global leaders to the wider world.
This week, he accused Russia of sabotaging “people’s attempts to live a normal life.”
Images of the shopping mall’s smoking debris said the rest.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called for major humanitarian aid in his nightly video, a day before world leaders are set to gather to discuss measures to rebuild the war-torn country. DW has the latest.
— Zelenskyy said his country needed "colossal investments" so people can rebuild their lives
The article was last updated 02:23 UTC/GMT
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy delivered a message of hope in his nightly address on Sunday, saying no matter how "difficult it is for us today, we must remember that there will be a tomorrow."
He called for international humanitarian aid so Ukrainians could rebuild their lives once again.
"It is necessary not only to repair everything the occupiers have destroyed but also to create a new foundation for our lives: safe, modern, comfortable, accessible."
For Ukraine, this meant "colossal investments — billions."
Zelenskyy added it would also require "new technologies, best practices, new institutions, and, of course, reforms."
Leaders from dozens of countries are set to meet in the southern Swiss city of Lugano from July 4 to 5 to lay the groundwork for Ukraine's recovery. The Ukraine Recovery Conference 2022 was renamed in light of Russia's invasion this year, but would otherwise have been the fifth installment of the Ukraine Reform Conference, past editions of which took place in London, Copenhagen, Toronto and Vilnius.
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko accused Kyiv of firing at its military facilities, but failed to provide any evidence.
Belarusian state-run Belta news agency quoted Lukashenko as saying the Belarusian military intercepted all missiles targeting it.
Russia and Ukraine made competing claims over the key eastern Ukrainian city of Lysychansk in the Luhansk region.
Russia said it "completely" encircled the city, but Ukraine's army denied the claims, saying it was still under the control of the Ukrainian army.
Russia has focused on seizing Lysychansk as part of its campaign to claim full control of Luhansk, one of the two areas that make up the eastern Donbas region.
A German official warned that Russia could be planning to use a regular 11-day maintenance break on the Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline, from July 11, as an opportunity to cut gas supplies to Germany.

The Uvalde school district’s police chief has stepped down from his position in the City Council just weeks after being sworn in following allegations that he erred in his response to the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School that left 19 students and two teachers dead.
Chief Pete Arredondo said in a letter dated Friday that he has decided to step down for the good of the city and “to minimize further distractions.” He was elected to the council on May 7 and was sworn in on May 31, just a week after the massacre, in a closed-door ceremony.
“The mayor, the city council, and the city staff must continue to move forward to unite our community once again,” Arredondo said in his resignation, first reported by the Uvalde Leader-News.
Arredondo, who has been on administrative leave from his school district position since June 22, has declined repeated requests for comment from The Associated Press. His attorney, George Hyde, did not immediately respond to emailed requests for comment Saturday.
On June 21, the City Council voted unanimously to deny Arredondo a leave of absence from appearing at public meetings. Relatives of the shooting victims had pleaded with city leaders to fire him.
The Uvalde City Council released Arredondo’s resignation letter Saturday, after city officials received notification of his intent to step down via email, but did not comment further.
Representatives of Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin have not responded to AP’s requests for comment.
Col. Steven McCraw, director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, told a state Senate hearing last month that Arredondo — the on-site commander — made “terrible decisions” as the massacre unfolded on May 24 , and that the police response was an “abject failure.”
Three minutes after 18-year-old Salvador Ramos entered the school, sufficient armed law enforcement were on scene to stop the gunman, McCraw testified. Yet police officers armed with rifles stood and waited in a school hallway for more than an hour while the gunman carried out the massacre. The classroom door could not be locked from the inside, but there is no indication officers tried to open the door while the gunman was inside, McCraw said.
McCraw has said parents begged police outside the school to move in and students inside the classroom repeatedly pleaded with 911 operators for help while more than a dozen officers waited in a hallway. Officers from other agencies urged Arredondo to let them move in because children were in danger.
“The only thing stopping a hallway of dedicated officers from entering room 111 and 112 was the on-scene commander who decided to place the lives of officers before the lives of children,” McCraw said.
Arredondo has tried to defend his actions, telling the Texas Tribune that he didn’t consider himself the commander in charge of operations and that he assumed someone else had taken control of the law enforcement response. He said he didn’t have his police and campus radios but that he used his cellphone to call for tactical gear, a sniper and the classroom keys.
It’s still not clear why it took so long for police to enter the classroom, how they communicated with each other during the attack, and what their body cameras show.
Officials have declined to release more details, citing the investigation.
Arredondo, 50, grew up in Uvalde and has spent much of his nearly 30-year career in law enforcement in the city. | https://www.yourcentralvalley.com/news/u-s-world/uvalde-schools-police-chief-resigns-from-city-council/ | 2022-07-03T02:59:05Z | https://www.yourcentralvalley.com/news/u-s-world/uvalde-schools-police-chief-resigns-from-city-council/ | true |
BROOMFIELD, Colo., July 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Bees have been dying in record numbers, and scientists are scrambling to find out why. As the human population continues to grow and agricultural areas continue to expand, bees may not be able to survive if something isn't done quickly. While there are many solutions being proposed, one of the simplest ways that people can contribute to saving the bees is by planting trees. Trees provide habitat and food for bees, allowing them to thrive instead of just barely surviving until the next meal source comes along. At Backyard Farming Supply, they believe that this fight to save the bees is one of the most important of our lifetime.
Why Are Bees So Important?
Every third bite of food you eat is thanks to bees, which pollinate 80% of our world's crops. The list of things bees provide for us is long: not only do they fertilize plants and flowers, but they also produce honey, royal jelly, and propolis—all valuable assets in modern medicine. And bees are essential for reproduction: In fact, about one-third of the human diet comes from plants that require bee pollination to survive.
If You Care About Nature, Take Action
To save the bees, it takes action from everyone; big and small. Take action by donating to an organization that works towards saving the bees and other species, such as the Pollinator Partnership or 1% For The Planet. For your part, plant flowers and trees that attract bees.
Act Locally - Go Native
You can use resources like those offered by Backyard Farming Supply to find out which native plants are best suited for attracting pollinators in your area and begin replacing your garden with them. There are several plants that most people wouldn't expect to be beneficial to pollinators—but they are. Lavender and tomatoes come to mind.
Use Natural Nurture
The first step in saving our pollinators is to ensure they have natural habitats to live in. If you're an avid gardener, there are several ways you can encourage bee health by using organic methods: use natural fertilizers, such as compost and mulch; opt for organic sprays and pesticides; make sure plants are placed organically; and even plant bee-friendly plants to ensure bees can access food resources year-round.
Talk to Your Neighbors About Nature
Encourage your neighbors to use their yards to plant trees and encourage flowering plants and fruit-bearing plants. Inform them of the potential danger they may put on the environment by using pesticides in their lawns. Most homeowners use garden products that are not environmentally friendly and hurt the bees, butterflies, and other animals that pollinate flowers. Explain to them how easy it is to help with some simple changes.
If you want to learn more about how to protect, promote and proliferate bee populations where you live, contact the good people at Backyard Farming Supply. They have all the tools you need (including information) to help you succeed.

TORONTO (AP) — Dylan Teves scored his first MLS goal in his first start to help the undermanned Seattle Sounders beat Toronto FC 2-0 on Saturday night.
Teves deflected a centering pass into the goal in the 39th minute. The 22-year-old midfielder from Hawaii starred at the University of Washington.

DETROIT (AP) — Tesla’s sales from April through June fell to their lowest quarterly level since last fall as supply chain issues and pandemic restrictions in China hobbled production of its electric vehicles.
The company on Saturday disclosed it sold more than 254,000 cars and SUVs from April through June, an 18% drop from the first three months of this year and also well below the pace in last year’s final quarter.
The last time Tesla sold fewer vehicles globally was in the third quarter of 2021 when it delivered 241,000.
On Friday, the rest of the industry reported a 21% drop in sales during the second quarter as the average price for vehicles skyrocketed to a record of $45,844 amid soaring inflation, according to J.D. Power.
Tesla’s sales drop may be a harbinger of weaker second-quarter earnings for the Austin, Texas, company, which is the world’s top-seller of battery-powered vehicles and has posted net profits for nearly three years. Tesla plans to release its full results for the April-June period on July 20.
Like many other stocks, Tesla shares have been hard hit this year. But the 35% decline in Tesla’s stock price hasn’t been entirely tied to the company’s see-sawing fortunes.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk also has made a $44 billion bid for Twitter, which he placed on hold after complaining that it has too many spam bot users who aren’t humans. Much of the erosion in Tesla’s value has occurred since Musk became Twitter’s largest shareholder and then launched a takeover bid that has raised concerns he has too much on his already crowded plate
Musk has used his own Twitter account, which now has more than 100 million followers, to discuss the pandemic restrictions that forced the Shanghai factory to temporarily close during the quarter. Wedbush analyst Dan Ives estimates that more than 40% of Tesla’s sales come from China, and that the Shanghai factory produced about 70,000 fewer vehicles due to the shutdowns.
But Tesla signaled things are getting better Saturday, saying it produced more vehicles during June than in any other month in its history. The company didn’t disclose the number of vehicles manufactured during June.
As of early Saturday afternoon, Musk hadn’t tweeted about Tesla’s second-quarter sales. But he created a bit of a stir late Friday with ending an uncharacteristically long nine-day silence on Twitter. His Friday tweets included one with him and four his children meeting with Pope Francis.
Tesla’s latest delivery numbers came out a week after the release of an interview with Musk in which he described new factories in Austin and Berlin as “money furnaces” that were losing billions of dollars because supply chain breakdowns were limiting the number of cars they can produce.
In a May 30 interview with a Tesla owners’ club that was just released last week, Musk said that getting the Berlin and Austin plants functional “are overwhelmingly our concerns. Everything else is a very small thing,” Musk said, but added that “it’s all gonna get fixed real fast.”
Musk also has discussed making salaried workers return to offices and a possible 10% cut in Tesla’s work force due to a possible recession.
Supply chain breakdowns since the onset of COVID-19 two years ago have been especially debilitating for automakers, who get parts from all corners of the globe. A lack of computer chips needed to run cars’ computers compounded automakers’ problems and sent prices for used and new cars skyrocketing.
As the pandemic erupted in the U.S. in 2020, automakers had to shut factories for eight weeks to help stop the virus from spreading. Some parts companies canceled orders for semiconductors. At the same time, demand for laptops, tablets and gaming consoles skyrocketed as people stuck at home upgraded their devices.
By the time auto production resumed, chip makers had shifted production to consumer goods, creating a shortage of weather-resistant automotive-grade chips. Although Tesla has fared better than other automakers, the industry still can’t get enough chips.

Fletcher celebrating 120th birthday
FLETCHER, Okla. (KSWO) - Independence Day isn’t the only thing that the community of Fletcher is celebrating Saturday.
This holiday weekend happens to coincide with the towns 120th birthday, and they’re celebrating it all in conjunction with a fundraiser for the Fletcher Volunteer Fire Department.
The VFD fundraiser was held, in part, with the help of American Legion Auxilary Post 306.
The festivities began with a breakfast this morning at the Fletcher Community Center.
Community members showed up for the event to attend and help out, including the Fletcher little league baseball and softball teams.
David Finch with the American Legion Auxilary 306 said Fletcher is a town worth celebrating.
“This is a wonderful small community, the folks take care of each other,” Finch said. “I would like to thank the community. We’ve had a wonderful turnout already this morning at the breakfast you can see going on here in the background. We’ve had over 100 people already here this morning at the breakfast, which again is a fundraiser for the fire department. I thank them for showing up. It’s not just the Fletcher community, I’ve seen folks coming in from Lawton, Elgin, Sterling and apache coming in to support the local fire department and I want to thank them for that.”
This was the first time the town hosted a birthday party and VFD fundraiser, though the town’s history dates back to 1902.
The day of festivities continued into the afternoon with food trucks, live music, bingo and a silent auction.
Fletcher plans to make the Independence Day slash town birthday fundraiser for the VFD an annual tradition.

Don Flanagan remembers his reaction when Title IX first made girls high school basketball part of the American landscape.
It was the mid-1970s, Flanagan was coaching boys basketball at Arizona’s Window Rock High, and he decided to watch the school’s newly formed girls team practice.
“I thought, ‘This is never gonna work,'” Flanagan recalled. “Those kids had never been coached and the skill level was so lacking. They had no idea how to be strong with the ball. There were jump balls on almost every possession. It wasn’t pretty.”
A few years later, Flanagan got personally involved. He signed on to coach girls basketball at Eldorado High School and tipped off one of the most successful eras in New Mexico sports history.
His Eldorado teams amassed a ridiculous 401-13 record and won 11 state championships from 1979-95.
Flanagan didn’t initially see it coming.
“That first group I had at Eldorado was not very skilled,” he said, “but they learned quickly and were very competitive. When I first went to Eldorado, I wanted to coach boys. But after two years they came back and offered me a job coaching boys and I turned it down. I was in the right place.
“Besides, we had a winning streak going.”
Flanagan became a proponent for elevating girls basketball around the state and objected to what he perceived as unequal treatment. Girls state tournaments were then held at school sites or at Tingley Coliseum, and Flanagan was among those pushing for inclusion at the Pit.
“I’m sure the (New Mexico Activities Association) got sick of hearing from me,” he said. “We never got to the Pit until 1990, but that first year, Shiprock and Kirtland Central played in front of 10,000 people. It was clearly the right thing to do.”
Flanagan went on to build the University of New Mexico’s unheralded women’s basketball program into a consistent winner with a large, loyal fan base. From 1995-2011, Flanagan’s Lobos went 340-168 and captured eight combined conference regular-seaason and tournament titles.
Now 78, Flanagan acknowledges that Title IX dramatically impacted his life and career path. Current UNM women’s basketball coach Mike Bradbury feels the same way.
The federal legislation passed in 1972 prohibiting sex-based discrimination at any school receiving federal funding effectively jump-started a nationwide sports boom for girls and women. It also created a lot more viable options for coaches – of either gender.
“I got a reputation coaching high school girls,” Flanagan said, “and that’s how I got the job at UNM. Without Title IX, I probably would’ve coached boys my whole career and who knows if I ever would’ve moved up.”
Bradbury offered similar perspective.
“Title IX has helped so many women student-athletes and it’s created good jobs for coaches, trainers, officials, you name it,” Bradbury said. “For me, I was going to school to be a teacher and a coach, men or women would’ve been fine. But the career I’ve had would not have been possible without Title IX.”
Uneven footing
When Flanagan made the jump from Eldorado in 1995, UNM women’s basketball was in a different stratosphere than the school’s popular men’s program. Women’s basketball had been dropped from 1987-91 and the Lobos went a combined 14-96 in the first four seasons after the program was reinstated.
Flanagan knew he was taking on a construction project, along with a public relations assignment.
“Nobody was at the games back then,” he recalled. “We did everything we could think of to get people to come. All the players stayed after games to sign autographs and talk with fans. In that respect, we really were starting from scratch.”
Flanagan’s gaudy high school credentials were not richly compensated.
“I made $45,000 my first year,” Flanagan said, “on a one-year contract. After the season I went and saw (then-athletic director) Rudy Davalos and said, ‘Rudy, I’m gonna need a raise.’ I got $60,000 and another one-year contract.”
Flanagan said he was willing to accept the meager pay for a chance to get his foot in the door as a college coach. He did, however, make a case for upgrading women’s facilities.
“The locker room they had when I started was worse than the one at Eldorado,” Flanagan said, “and the men’s locker room at that time was new. After six years of me complaining, they finally built us a better one.”
Golden opportunity
Dilapidated locker room and relatively small paychecks aside, Flanagan said he was given all the necessary tools to build a successful program at UNM. Title IX expectations of equal treatment were known and met.
“The administration told all the coaches, ‘We have a book here and it’s the Bible,'” Flanagan said. “Women got the same things the guys got in terms of gym time, equipment, uniforms. We never had a problem.”
Flanagan also discovered a valuable commodity when he arrived at UNM – talent. The Lobos went 14-15 in his first campaign, then turned the corner and posted 14 consecutive winning seasons, including 11 with 20 wins or more.
“The team I inherited was quite good,” he said. “That helped us get things turned around quickly and gave us a chance to build.”
Flanagan’s Lobos captured the imagination of local fans, and the program quickly earned a spot among the national attendance leaders. Still, Flanagan frequently picked up static from naysayers in New Mexico and elsewhere.
“We had to fight the perception that women’s basketball was somehow inferior,” he said, “even though we attracted a lot of fans. I think once we went to the NCAAs and once we hosted it, that made more people pay attention. They saw how good women’s basketball really was.”
Making it pay
Under Flanagan, UNM women’s basketball became a steady draw and a money maker for the school. As a result, salaries steadily increased to offer coaches a more-than-comfortable living.
After making $45,000 in his first season, Flanagan had a base salary of $210,000 plus $100,000 for media and promotional obligations when he stepped down in 2011.
Bradbury, whose base salary is $270,000 this year, admits he didn’t harbor lofty career expectations when he was asked to help out with women’s basketball as a college student at Chattanooga.
“Not at all,” he said. “Thirty years ago we were driving vans four to five hours to women’s games. Players had one set of uniforms that we washed after every game, and one pair of basketball shoes if they were lucky. It wasn’t like that for men’s teams. Fortunately, times have changed.”
Bradbury began to consider a career coaching women’s basketball only after a fellow member of Chattanooga’s staff left for a head coaching job. Four assistant jobs and two head-coaching jobs later, he arrived in Albuquerque in 2016, succeeding Yvonne Sanchez.
Looking back, Bradbury said he’s glad to have ended up coaching women’s basketball.
“Men’s coaches make more money,” he said, “but there are upsides. Most women’s players don’t come in thinking about playing pro basketball; they want to make the most of their college careers. Plus, I feel like there’s a more personal side, which you appreciate after a while.”
Flanagan agreed.
“When I started coaching, getting a scholarship wasn’t even a motivation for girls,” he said, “it happened so rarely. Now, so many women have gotten the opportunity to play college basketball and get full scholarships, and that goes back to Title IX.
“It gave me a chance to have a career doing something I loved, but so many girls and women have really benefited from it. That’s it’s greatest success.” | https://www.abqjournal.com/2513515/flanagan-bradbury-have-never-regretted-their-choices.html | 2022-07-03T03:16:07Z | https://www.abqjournal.com/2513515/flanagan-bradbury-have-never-regretted-their-choices.html | false |

BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) — The Fourth of July holiday weekend is jamming U.S. airports with their biggest crowds since the pandemic began in 2020.
About 2.49 million passengers went through security checkpoints at U.S. airports Friday, surpassing the previous pandemic-era record of 2.46 million reached earlier in the week, according to figures released Saturday by the Transportation Security Administration.
The escalating numbers show leisure travelers aren’t being deterred from flying by rising fares, the ongoing spread of COVID-19 or worries about recurring flight delays and cancellations.
Friday’s passenger volume marked a 13% increase from July 1 last year, which fell on the Thursday before Fourth of July. This year’s number of passengers going through U.S. airports also eclipsed the 2.35 million screened at security checkpoints on the Friday before the Fourth of July in 2019, but that was nearly a week ahead of Independence Day.
In a more telling sign of how close U.S. air travel is reverting back to pre-pandemic conditions, an average of 2.33 million passengers have passed through security checkpoints at domestic airports during the seven days ending July 1. That was close to the seven-day average of roughly 2.38 million passengers during the same 2019 period, according to the TSA.
But airlines have struggled to keep up with the surging demand amid staffing shortages and an assortment of other issues that have resulted in recurring waves of exasperating flight delays and cancellations that have been transforming some vacations into nightmarish ordeals.
Many airlines, including Delta, Southwest and JetBlue, have responded to the challenge by curtailing their summer schedules in an effort to reduce the inconveniences — and backlash — caused by flight delays and cancellations They are using larger planes on average to carry more passengers while they scramble to hire and train more pilots.
The headaches continued Friday, although they weren’t as bad as they have been at other times in recent months. There were more than 6,800 flight delays and another 587 flight cancellations affecting U.S. airports Friday, according to the tracking site FlightAware.
The trouble spilled into Saturday, too, with thunderstorms complicating things on the East Coast and parts of the Midwest. By late Saturday, nearly 4,000 flights had been delayed and more than 600 had been canceled at U.S. airports, according to FlightAware.
Besides the flight delays and cancellations, travelers also have had to pay higher prices for tickets driven up by soaring fuel costs and other inflationary factors, as well as navigate around the health risks posed by continuing COVID-19 infections.
The travel bug is also congesting highways, even with the national average price for gasoline hovering around $5 per gallon — and above $6 per gallon in California and all its popular tourist attractions. AAA predicts that nearly 48 million people will travel at least 50 miles or more from home over the weekend, slightly fewer than in 2019. | https://www.ksn.com/news/national-world/ap-us-news/holiday-getaway-pushes-us-airport-traffic-to-pandemic-high/ | 2022-07-03T03:20:00Z | https://www.ksn.com/news/national-world/ap-us-news/holiday-getaway-pushes-us-airport-traffic-to-pandemic-high/ | false |

NORTH PLAINS, Ore. -- Branden Grace won LIV Golf's first stop on American soil, an event that drew critics and protesters alike because of the upstart series' funding by Saudi Arabia.
Grace closed with a 7-under 65 on Saturday to finish at 13 under in the 54-hole tournament at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club.
The fledgling LIV series, fronted by CEO Greg Norman and funded by Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund, aims to challenge the PGA Tour. It has lured some players, including Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka and Phil Mickelson, with the promise of big signing bonuses, hefty prize purses and fewer events.
Grace beat Mexico's Carlos Ortiz by 2 strokes.
"Played flawless golf, played really, really well when I needed to do something special and came up and managed to pull it out," Grace said. "But just what a great day, it was amazing to come here, this new format, this new everything is amazing and everybody here is having a blast."
The 48-man field in Oregon competed for a $20 million purse, with an additional $5 million prize fund for a team competition. There was no cut, and even the last-place finisher earned a payday of $120,000. Charl Schwartzel won the tour's inaugural event outside of London (and the team portion) and pocketed $4.75 million.
Grace earned $2,025,000 for his work at Centurion in the inaugural LIV event ($1,275,000 for finishing tied for third in the individual event, $750,000 for being on the winning team). He earned another $4,375,000 on Saturday ($4 million for the individual win and an additional $375,000 for being part of the second-place team).
His two-week earnings of $6,400,000 are the most of any player so far in the LIV season. His most on-course earnings in a single PGA Tour season was $2,878,868 in 2015-16.
Ortiz, ranked No. 119 in the world, shot a 69. Johnson (71) finished four back with Patrick Reed (67).
The Four Aces team, led by Johnson, won the team competition at Pumpkin Ridge.
The PGA Tour has responded to the upstart tour by suspending every active member who competed in the first LIV event. Those who played in Oregon were also suspended unless they resign their tour memberships.
LIV Golf has been dogged by criticism since its inception, well before it came to tiny North Plains, about 20 miles west of downtown Portland.
The city's mayor and 10 fellow mayors from nearby communities wrote the course's Texas-based owner weeks ago, objecting that the event did not align with community values because of Saudi Arabia's human rights abuses, including the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
A group of families whose loved ones were killed by the terrorist attack on Sept. 11 came to North Plains on the tournament's opening day to protest the event. Fifteen of the 19 hijackers on that day in 2001 were Saudi citizens. The group plans a more sizeable demonstration for the next stop at Bedminster in New Jersey.
U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon called out the tour for "sportswashing" to detract from Saudi Arabia's human rights record. Wyden pointed to the 2016 hit-and-run death of 15-year-old Fallon Smart in Portland. A Saudi national was accused in the case but vanished before trial, and U.S. officials believe he was spirited out of the country with the help of the Saudi government. A protestor at the entrance on Friday held a sign that read "Fallon Smart, 2000-2016."
The players faced tough questions before the tournament about their involvement, with most reciting pat answers and maintaining that golf can be a "force for good." Others complained about the structure and grind of the PGA Tour.
LIV Golf touts that it's "golf, but louder." In addition to the simultaneous team competition, the tournaments feature shotgun starts, interactive fan activities and hip-hop blaring on the driving range.
Crowds on Saturday were better than Thursday and Friday. LIV Golf said it was a sellout, but would not reveal the number of tickets sold.
The tour's next event is set for July 29-31 at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster.

Family heartbroken after 1-month-old baby dies from rare virus
HAMDEN, Conn. (WFSB) - A Connecticut family is speaking out after the death of their 1-month-old son in hopes of warning others about parechovirus, which doctors say may be underdiagnosed.
Ronan was born a happy and healthy baby to Kat and Mitch Delancy in May. He was their second child.
“He was born May 21st, a healthy, full-term baby,” Kat Delancy said. “We went from the highest high to the lowest low in a span of a month.”
When Ronan was about a week old, his parents noticed something was wrong, WFSB reports.
“He was fussier, he wasn’t eating quite as well, and he had redness on his chest,” Kat Delancy said.
She took him to his pediatrician on a Friday, and doctors said he was fine.
Still, that night, Kat Delancy says she felt something was wrong, so she brought Ronan to Yale New Haven.
“As soon as I walked into the hospital, he stopped breathing,” she said.
Shortly after, Ronan started having seizures.
“Once they started seeing the seizures, they had to put him under sedation,” Kat Delancy said.
Doctors couldn’t figure out what was going on with Ronan. It wasn’t until his fourth day in the hospital that his parents got some answers.
“The more testing that they did, they ended up finding this thing called parechovirus, which we had never heard of, and it sounded like a lot of the doctors had never heard of it either,” Kat Delancy said.
“It was explained to us at the hospital that it’s extremely rare to find, but it might not be that rare because they don’t ever really look for it,” Mitch Delancy said.
Yale New Haven Health recently sent out a newsletter alerting other physicians about the virus, saying it “may be underdiagnosed due to lack of awareness.”
“A lot of children have no symptoms or very mild symptoms,” said Dr. Ian Michelo, Connecticut Children’s Head of Infectious Diseases.
Michelo says he’s seen a spike in cases.
“I’m hearing through emails and other social media alerts that there is, particularly right now since the beginning of May, there are an increasing number of cases,” he said.
He says most children will just suffer a fever but, in some cases, it could cause severe brain damage.
Unfortunately, Ronan had a severe case. His brain was badly damaged, and he couldn’t be saved.
“I’ll never forget the doctor kneeling down and saying to me, as I was in shock, saying, ‘You have a very sick baby,’” Kat Delancy said. “Going from the best days of our lives to having our child die in our arms.”
Now, the Delancy family is hoping to warn other parents and push pediatricians to test for this disease more frequently.
“My big reason for wanting to talk about it is I want Ronan to have a legacy. I would love that. I want his name - I want to keep that alive. I don’t want another family to go through this,” Kat Delancy said.
Doctors say preventing parechovirus is like any other virus: make sure to keep your hands clean and stay away from anyone who’s not feeling well.

More than 100,000 homes in Scotland have nobody living in them – with some lying empty for decades. Campaigners believe getting local authorities to buy the vacant properties could hold the key to easing Scotland’s national housing shortage.
Figures from government body National Records Scotland show 112,300 properties – 4.2 per cent of all dwellings – are unoccupied at any one time. That’s almost one for every 20 Scottish homes.
Of that total, 15,912 have lain empty for between six and 12 months, and 27,584 for more than a year. An estimated 130,000 people in Scotland are homeless or on waiting lists.
But housing campaigners believe the figure could be dramatically reduced if the empty homes were put back into use. They want councils to use compulsory purchase orders to buy and repair the vacant properties.
The Scottish Empty Homes Partnership (SEHP), funded by the Scottish Government and backed by Shelter Scotland, believes 44,000 homes could be brought back into use this way. It said homes become empty for a variety of reasons including the owner dying or going into care and legal disputes over ownership.
SEHP’s Shaheena Din said: “They might also need upgrading and the owner can’t afford the cost. Empty, derelict or abandoned homes can cause a blight on the local community and affect the quality of life for their neighbours. Bringing them back into use will, in turn, help to address the housing and homeless emergency.”
The number of long-term empty houses in Scotland is seven per cent higher than in 2019. The cities with the highest number last year were Edinburgh with 6180, Aberdeen with 6006 and Glasgow with 2958.
Last year, SEHP helped get 1152 empty properties back into use. One success was an old police station and house in Langholm in the Borders, which had been empty for 15 years. It has been converted into four flats at affordable rents.
Din added: “Some owners are unwilling to return their home to use, cannot be traced or are difficult to engage with. We believe compulsory purchase orders should be used more widely to prevent homes from being left to deteriorate when Scotland desperately needs more homes.”
In Glasgow, 52 empty homes which have lain empty for up to 15 years have been targeted for compulsory purchases since 2019.
Glasgow City Council said: “Empty homes are not only a wasted resource that could be used to address chronic housing shortages but can be a blight on the community by attracting vandalism.”
It’s thought compulsory purchase orders could be cheaper than building houses, with a £25,000 cost to renovate an empty property compared to £120,000 to build a new home.
Sean Clerkin, of the Scottish Tenants Organisation, said: “We are living in a housing emergency. Purchasing and renovating empty homes would be an effective way of tackling this crisis.”
Nick Harleigh-Bell, of Homeless Action Scotland, said: “Funding councils to take over disused or unoccupied homes and bringing them back into use for the public good is a fair and efficient way of increasing our housing stock for people who desperately need a home to live in.”
The Scottish Government said: “Local councils have broad compulsory purchase powers which can be used for a range of purposes, including restoration of property which may be vacant, derelict or unsafe to bring it back into productive use.”
Homeless mum Tracy has moved into a two-bed house in Glenrothes, which was empty for nearly three years, with her partner and baby. It was bought and renovated by the local YMCA and is the first time the family have had a home of their own.
The couple and their newborn had been living in a damp-ridden, privately let third-floor flat, which was affecting their own health and their baby’s wellbeing. Tracy, who is in her 20s and asked for her full name not to be published, often struggled to get her pram up the stairs.
She says her new home, which also has a garden, has made a huge difference to their lives. The couple’s young child has just joined nursery and is very settled.
Tracy said: “There should be more affordable, decent homes. Everyone should have the opportunity to feel safe.”

PBSO deputy rescues woman held at knifepoint, shoots suspect in head
A Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office deputy shot a knife-wielding man in the head Saturday after he held a woman against her will and refused to drop the weapon, sheriff's spokeswoman Teri Barbera said.
The incident occurred shortly before 6:30 a.m. during a welfare check at a home in the 22000 block of Larkspur Trail in the Thornhill Green community near Boca Raton.
When deputies arrived, they heard a woman screaming for help and forced their way inside the home, Barbera said. That's when they encountered a woman being held against her will by a man armed with a knife, Barbera said.
The suspect refused commands to drop the knife, so a deputy, fearing for the safety of the woman, fired his gun, shooting the man in the head, Barbera said.
The woman was taken to a hospital, where she was listed in stable condition. The suspect was taken to a different hospital, where he was listed in critical condition.
The deputy who shot the suspect has been placed on paid administrative leave, which is standard procedure after a deputy-involved shooting.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is the lead investigative agency regarding the shooting.
The suspect is facing charges of armed false imprisonment and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

By Acacia Coronado, Associated Press
The Uvalde school district’s police chief has stepped down from his position in the City Council just weeks after being sworn in following allegations that he erred in his response to the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School that left 19 students and two teachers dead.
Chief Pete Arredondo said in a letter dated Friday that he has decided to step down for the good of the city and “to minimize further distractions.” He was elected to the council on May 7 and was sworn in on May 31, just a week after the massacre, in a closed-door ceremony.
“The mayor, the city council, and the city staff must continue to move forward to unite our community once again,” Arredondo said in his resignation, first reported by the Uvalde Leader-News.
Arredondo, who has been on administrative leave from his school district position since June 22, has declined repeated requests for comment from The Associated Press. His attorney, George Hyde, did not immediately respond to emailed requests for comment Saturday.
On June 21, the City Council voted unanimously to deny Arredondo a leave of absence from appearing at public meetings. Relatives of the shooting victims had pleaded with city leaders to fire him.
The Uvalde City Council released Arredondo’s resignation letter Saturday, after city officials received notification of his intent to step down via email, but did not comment further.
Representatives of Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin have not responded to AP’s requests for comment.
Col. Steven McCraw, director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, told a state Senate hearing last month that Arredondo — the on-site commander — made “terrible decisions” as the massacre unfolded on May 24 , and that the police response was an “abject failure.”
Three minutes after 18-year-old Salvador Ramos entered the school, sufficient armed law enforcement were on scene to stop the gunman, McCraw testified. Yet police officers armed with rifles stood and waited in a school hallway for more than an hour while the gunman carried out the massacre. The classroom door could not be locked from the inside, but there is no indication officers tried to open the door while the gunman was inside, McCraw said.
McCraw has said parents begged police outside the school to move in and students inside the classroom repeatedly pleaded with 911 operators for help while more than a dozen officers waited in a hallway. Officers from other agencies urged Arredondo to let them move in because children were in danger.
“The only thing stopping a hallway of dedicated officers from entering room 111 and 112 was the on-scene commander who decided to place the lives of officers before the lives of children,” McCraw said.
Arredondo has tried to defend his actions, telling the Texas Tribune that he didn’t consider himself the commander in charge of operations and that he assumed someone else had taken control of the law enforcement response. He said he didn’t have his police and campus radios but that he used his cellphone to call for tactical gear, a sniper and the classroom keys.
It’s still not clear why it took so long for police to enter the classroom, how they communicated with each other during the attack, and what their body cameras show.
Officials have declined to release more details, citing the investigation.
Arredondo, 50, grew up in Uvalde and has spent much of his nearly 30-year career in law enforcement in the city. | https://www.al.com/news/2022/07/texas-mass-shooting-uvalde-schools-police-chief-resigns-from-city-council.html | 2022-07-03T04:31:13Z | https://www.al.com/news/2022/07/texas-mass-shooting-uvalde-schools-police-chief-resigns-from-city-council.html | true |
Novice investors are constantly told to never — never! — time the market. Just buy and hold stocks, dollar-cost averaging over time. That is good advice. I know some novice investors who have done very well through various economic cycles, buying stocks in both good and bad times — especially the bad times. They have unshakable faith that the market will always come back. If you didn’t have such faith, you wouldn’t be able to invest in this fashion.
I am a professional investor and have timed the market with some success, but not too much because it is very hard to do. But I think novice investors should attempt to time the market once or twice in their investing careers. Sacrilege, I know. I’m not talking about getting totally in or out of the market, but rather about making changes in asset allocation that have the potential to boost returns substantially over time.
Here is how it works. Imagine you have your money in index funds in a traditional 60/40 portfolio. That means 60% in a stock index fund and 40% in a bond index fund. The moment when you are feeling the most ebullient about your portfolio, when it seems like it’s going up most every day and you can’t believe how much you are making, that is the point at which you want to adjust your stock allocation down to 50%.
People are also reading…
A friend of mine, Brent Donnelly, president of Spectra Markets, calls this “The Cheer Hedge.” It was from his days working on a foreign-exchange trading desk where he observed that the moment someone made a lot of money and started high-fiving others was the moment at which the position stopped working. If at the moment you were happiest about your investments you reduced risk, you would probably come pretty close to getting out of the market at the highs. When you feel the urge to tell everyone how much you are making is usually when the piano is about to fall on your head. This would have worked exceptionally well during the dot-com bubble and 2021.
Likewise, when you are feeling the worst about your portfolio, when you have abandoned all hope and are considering just liquidating everything to stop the pain, it is probably time to be taking more risk. If you increased your allocation to stocks from 60% to 70%, you would have more exposure when the market inevitably rallied. During the depths of the financial crisis, if people increased risk rather than liquidated, they would have been much better off today.
For example, in a year when stocks return 15% and bonds return 5% in a 60/40 portfolio, the blended return would be 11%. By adjusting the stock portion up to 70% and bonds down to 30%, the return rises to 12%. A small, but noticeable difference. Of course, in the early days of the post-financial crisis market, equity returns were much higher, with the S&P 500 Index gaining 23.5% in 2009. Alas, many missed out on such gains. Surveys by the American Association of Individual Investors showed that most novices only had 41% allocated to stocks at the time.
Financial advisers say it’s impossible to time the market, but it really isn’t. If you can sense big turning points in sentiment, you can make subtle changes to your asset allocation and increase returns over time. But it requires people to go against their intuition, which is hard because when people feel good about their portfolio, they usually want to buy more stocks, and sell when they feel terrible. Humans are hardwired to be terrible investors. So, if you were to do the opposite of what your instincts told you, you would probably be better off. This is not heretical advice. The legendary Warren Buffett has often said to be a successful investor one must be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.
Some people might interpret this advice as a license to trade actively, but it’s not. I’m talking about extremes in sentiment that happen only about once every 10 or 15 years. One of those came in the first half of last year, when meme stocks were spinning off into space and crypto millionaires were being minted by the thousands. You can monitor magazine covers and the like, but the best way to gauge sentiment is to talk to your neighbors. If they tell you they’re making or losing haystacks of cash in the market, it’s probably time to tweak your portfolio.
This latest downturn in the stock market would not qualify as an extreme in sentiment — at least not yet. We need to get to the point where people believe that the economy is going into a depression and the stock market will go to zero, and it doesn’t feel like there is any sort of mass capitulation happening. Sure, the latest AAII data shows the percentage of bulls hanging right around the lowest levels of the last 30 years, but it’s also notable that Cathie Wood’s flagship ARK Innovation ETF — seen as the pandemic era’s ultimate barometer of investor exuberance — has posted its longest streak of weekly inflows in over a year.

The Calf Canyon/Hermits Peak Fire has been a costly and traumatic disaster.
The blaze, which is now 93% contained, has burned more than 340,000 acres.
It has destroyed at least 400 homes, threatened regional water supplies and displaced thousands of residents.
Crews have spent more than $270 million fighting the fire that started as two separate U.S. Forest Service burns.
But how did northern New Mexico become a tinderbox for such a destructive blaze?
Joshua Sloan, a New Mexico Highlands University forestry professor who helps lead the institution’s forestry and reforestation center, points to a “tangled web” of federal policies, endangered species conflicts and a changing climate.
In the early 1900s, the U.S. Forest Service adopted the “10 o’clock policy.”
Any fire start, no matter the cause, mandated that crews put it out by 10 a.m. the next morning.
The strategy would last for decades, essentially excluding all fire from federal forest lands.
“That nationwide fire suppression policy took no account of natural fire activity in these forest systems and it took no account of the ecological roles of fire in these forest systems,” Sloan said.
Trees steadily built up in forests without the benefit of fires to thin the dense landscapes – hundreds of trees that historically would have been removed by low-intensity burns.
“It’s these ladder fuels that facilitate movement of fire from the ground up into the canopy,” Sloan said. “That’s really where we see those catastrophic fires.”
The stress of an overstocked forest has also made the trees more vulnerable to insects and disease.
The Forest Service’s federal review of the prescribed burn that became the Hermits Peak Fire also acknowledges the long-term effects of old management policies in northern New Mexico.
“Approximately one century of fire suppression in the watershed has resulted in a highly modified ponderosa pine forest structure that is more prone to high-intensity and high-severity wildfires,” the report states.
Mexican spotted owl
Conflict over a rare bird has also influenced the overgrowth of New Mexico’s forests.
In 1993, the federal government declared the Mexican spotted owl an endangered species.
Resulting legal actions to protect the bird’s habitat prohibited harvesting wood on federal land in the state for nearly two years.
Once the logs stopped rolling in, timber mills closed up shop.
The industry has not bounced back in New Mexico.
An industry that had helped thin forests, even through the Forest Service’s fire suppression policies, all but disappeared.
“There are major trust issues between the wood products industry and managers of the federal land base,” Sloan said.
In 2019, another lawsuit over the owl temporarily halted all wood harvesting on federal forest lands.
Forest councils
Local communities have an important role to play in rethinking land management, said Matt Piccarello, the forest and watershed health manager for The Nature Conservancy in New Mexico.
Tribes, pueblos and land grant residents were caring for forests long before federal agencies stepped in.
“That history is all still very present,” Piccarello said. “Any opportunities to bring those communities into the management of national forests is a positive step.”
The conservancy’s Rio Grande Water Fund supports the work of two forest councils – Cerro Negro near Questa and the Rio de Las Trampas – that are models for that kind of partnership.
Community forest councils operate much like acequias, with mayordomos acting as land stewards and overseeing projects. Leñeros, or woodcutters, gather wood on forest land by removing specific trees to help thin the forests under the council programs.
The councils are also working with forest officials to be included in briefings on thinning or prescribed fire projects.
“Ultimately, the responsibility over whether to light the match on federal land is still going to lie with the burn boss,” he said. “But, at least some shared ownership over that decision could go a long way.”
Long-term drought and rising temperatures also have stressed northern New Mexico’s forests.
For at least two years, monsoon moisture did little to quench dry trees and grass.
Following a “double-dip La Niña” pattern of less snowpack, any snow the region did receive this year melted off much earlier than normal.
Matthew Hurteau, a forest ecologist and University of New Mexico biology professor, said a dense forest filled with dead and drought-stressed trees influenced the fire’s growth.
The eastern slopes of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains had relatively little fire activity in the past 50 years and few thinning or burning treatments.
“That created conditions, along with the drought and wind events, that allowed fire to push through those continuous fuels pretty well,” Hurteau said.
He contrasted that with this year’s Cerro Pelado Fire west of Los Alamos.
Calf Canyon/Hermits Peak grew to more than seven times the fire footprint of Cerro Pelado.
“There was so much prior fire and fuels work (on Cerro Pelado), including thinning and prescribed burning, that it really changed the way that fire interacted,” Hurteau said. “You really see different stages of forest conditions in terms of the attention they’ve gotten from management.”
Catalyst for change
Communities devastated by Calf Canyon/Hermits Peak face flooding threats and a long road to recovery.
Many lost homes or pastures that have been passed down for generations.
But some also see the disaster as a wake-up call.
In areas that burned at lower severity, the fire may have even accomplished the beneficial ecological work of a natural fire.
Reforming decades of federal policies, overcoming budget and workforce constraints, and combating a rapidly changing climate won’t be easy for forest managers.
But many experts are optimistic that big changes could get momentum.
“We’ve had a sense of urgency for a while,” Piccarello said. “I think people doing this work knew even before Las Conchas and Cerro Grande (two of the state’s most destructive wildfires prior to Hermits Peak) that there were issues in these forests. This was a disaster waiting to happen. You can’t snap your fingers overnight and fix it, but a lot of the work is already being done.” | https://www.abqjournal.com/2513525/a-disaster-waiting-to-happen-ex-experts-say-regions-forests-overg.html | 2022-07-03T04:44:07Z | https://www.abqjournal.com/2513525/a-disaster-waiting-to-happen-ex-experts-say-regions-forests-overg.html | true |
Fireworks shows are a summer staple, especially on and around the Fourth of July, but they can also be a source of anxiety for pets and their owners.
In addition to the fireworks themselves posing a potential danger to animals, the loud noises, bright lights and strong smells that come with fireworks displays can trigger stress and fear for pets, which can be damaging to their health and lead to accidents if and when they try to run away.
Here are some tips for keeping your pet, and in turn yourself, calm when fireworks are going off, courtesy of the Humane Society of the United States:
Stay away
Keep pets away from fireworks and their remnants. The Humane Society recommends not bringing pets along to fireworks shows because pets tend to be “more sensitive to loud noises, flashing lights and strong smells.”
If you do leave your pet at home while heading out to celebrate July 4 yourself, it’s helpful to leave your radio or TV on “to soften jarring noises.”

ID your pet
Make sure your pet has a collar, ID tag and microchip. When pets are scared by the sights and sounds of a fireworks show, they may try to run away. Even pets that are inside, the Human Society cautions, may try to make a break for it by breaking through a door or window.
So, it’s important to make sure your pets are wearing their collars and that those collars have up-to-date ID tags with your address and/or a way to contact you. If your pet is microchipped, you should also make sure it’s registered.
Ask a doctor
Get advice, help from your pet’s veterinarian. If you’ve had issues with your pet getting anxious during fireworks shows before, the Human Society recommends talking to your veterinarian about the situation.
Vets that know your pet can give you recommendations on techniques for keeping your pet calm that they think will help and, if necessary, even prescribe medications that can help.
Keep cool
Don’t forget to protect your pet from heat. Fireworks aren’t the only threat to pets’ health in the summer, the Humane Society notes. Hot weather can also pose issues for our furry friends.
Like humans, pets can suffer from heat stroke, and they also shouldn’t be left inside cars.
And hot pavement can burn your pet’s paws, so the Humane Society recommends putting your hand down on the ground when it’s hot before letting your pet walk. If you can’t keep your hand down for at least 5 seconds, then it’s too hot to let your pet walk on. | https://greensboro.com/lifestyles/how-to-keep-your-pets-calm-and-safe-during-fourth-of-july-fireworks-shows/article_3e0d3d02-f889-11ec-a810-d39cf98b761c.html | 2022-07-03T04:46:57Z | https://greensboro.com/lifestyles/how-to-keep-your-pets-calm-and-safe-during-fourth-of-july-fireworks-shows/article_3e0d3d02-f889-11ec-a810-d39cf98b761c.html | true |

MIDLAND, Mich.—Three Great Lakes pitchers combined on a four-hit shutout as the Loons edged the Dayton Dragons 1-0 on Saturday night. Great Lakes has won three of five in the series that will wrap up on Sunday afternoon.
Game Recap: The Loons scored the only run of the game in the fifth inning when Jonny DeLuca doubled off the wall in right field with two outs to bring in a runner from third.
The Dragons had plenty of opportunities to score in the game but went 0 for 8 with seven strikeouts with runners in scoring position. They advanced runners to second or third base in the third, fourth, seventh, and eighth innings but could not deliver the clutch hit.
Dragons starting pitcher Even Kravetz (4-2) was outstanding, allowing one run in five and two-thirds innings while striking out a season-high seven. He allowed four hits and walked four but was charged with the loss. Reliever Carson Rudd followed Kravetz and delivered one of his best outings of the season, tossing two and one-third innings without allowing a hit or run. Rudd walked one and struck out three, retiring seven of the eight batters he faced.
Each team collected just four hits in the game. For Dayton, Justice Thompson was 2 for 3. The Dragons did not have an extra base hit but stole four bases after swiping a season-high six on Friday night.
The Dragons second half record is 4-4. They are tied with Lake County for third place in the East Division, one game behind West Michigan and two back of Great Lakes.
Notes: Kravetz threw 98 pitches in the game, matching the team season high of Connor Phillips on June 22…It has been an unusual series for Dragons pitchers. In the five games played so far, they have held the Loons to one run twice, but have also had games when they allowed 18, 11, and eight.
Up Next: The Dragons and Loons close out the six-game series on Sunday afternoon at 1:05 p.m. Thomas Farr (0-4, 6.17) will start for Dayton against Nick Nastrini (1-2, 4.35).
The Dragons return to Day Air Ballpark in the heart of the Water Street District on Monday, July 4 to open a six-game series with the West Michigan Whitecaps. | https://www.wdtn.com/sports/loons-edge-dragons-1-0-on-saturday-night/ | 2022-07-03T05:05:10Z | https://www.wdtn.com/sports/loons-edge-dragons-1-0-on-saturday-night/ | true |
Across America, people will gather on the Fourth of July to celebrate the birth of our great nation. Since the first July 4th celebration in 1777, one year after the original 13 colonies proclaimed their independence and bravely formed a new land free from a tyrannical king, Americans have celebrated this day to reflect upon our freedom. Still today, 246 years after our country’s Founding Fathers ratified the United States Declaration of Independence, America remains a beacon of hope around the world and a land in which “all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
Many of us cherish this summer holiday as an opportunity to spend time with friends and family, but let us not lose sight of the significance of Independence Day and the extraordinary blessing of living in America. We are a land of great promise and a nation of boundless opportunity. Throughout our history, Americans have defied the odds, ignited hope and built prosperity that has emboldened generations of citizens to achieve their greatest dreams. Even during the most difficult challenges, Americans have shown the world we have the resolve to fulfill our God-given purpose to build a brighter tomorrow for all.
One of our Founding Fathers, Thomas Paine, said, “We have it within our power to begin the world over again.” Within every brave step, our Founders shaped this land from the formation of political liberty to federalism that has since guided our country beautifully for over 235 years. Countless Americans have fought and died in the name of freedom, and it is up to us to make certain we preserve for the next generation the same opportunities that America’s independence has gifted her people.
American ideals remain powerful because they represent the universal freedom of all mankind. President Ronald Reagan so eloquently expressed, “whatever sad episodes exist in our past, any objective observer must hold a positive view of American history, a history that has been the story of hopes fulfilled and dreams made into reality. Especially in this century, America has kept alight the torch of freedom, but not just for ourselves but for millions of others around the world.” If we are to keep the torch beaming brightly, we must continue cultivating the protection of our liberties. Our greatest potential as a nation can only be achieved when we restore our faith in the abilities of one another, not the heavy hand of government. The diversity of the American people remains our greatest strength, and it has helped fuel the existence of our democracy and ability to prosper across the states. It is my prayer that as Americans, we never sacrifice what it means to be free and we will always work together to protect this gift of democracy, so that every person knows their greatest potential.
On this July Fourth, I hope you will join me in strengthening our great love of America and let this wonderful celebration be an opportunity for optimism within the walls of our own homes, the streets of our neighborhoods; and throughout our communities. When we are united, we can build stronger families, safer communities, a better Texas and an even brighter America — as one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Like many of you, I am looking forward to joining local parades, listening to patriotic music and watching the magnificent firework shows. There are plenty of activities taking place such as Roanoke’s All-American Fireworks and Festival on July 3 and Flower Mound’s Independence Fest on July 4, the town of Double Oak’s morning July 4 parade and Trophy Club’s Patriots 5K, parade and evening fireworks festival. Regardless of where you are on this historic day, I hope you will join my family and me in reflecting on the ultimate sacrifices of our many great American patriots through the years!
It is an honor to serve you in the Texas House of Representatives and be a voice on the issues that matter to you.

Duran went 2-for-4 with a double and a stolen base in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Cubs.
Duran tried to spark a rally in the ninth inning, doubling and stealing third base, but he was left aboard. The outfielder has multiple hits in each of his last four games, going 10-for-19 (.526) with a home run and three doubles in that span. He's up to a .344/.394/.557 slash line through 66 plate appearances, and he's seen leadoff duties when available lately. Enrique Hernandez (hip) remains out with no clear timeline to return, so Duran's playing time is likely safe for now, though Rob Refsnyder could pick up some starts against southpaws.

DALLAS — Seven months after Congress passed the infrastructure bill and President Joe Biden signed it into law, the dollars are beginning to flow into Texas.
Over the next several years, Texas will receive hundreds of millions of dollars from the federal government to improve the electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure in the state.
The specific goal is to place an EV charger every 50 miles along most interstate highways and main corridors. It would be enough to support at least one million electric vehicles.
And, U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm says it’s an opportunity not only for private business, but also for state utilities.
“A lot of utilities are seeing the electrification of the vehicles as an opportunity to provide resilience to the grid. Because what you’re doing, of course, is adding batteries and energy storage onto the grid as well as using the grid when you’re charging,” Granholm said on Inside Texas Politics. “So, if you can sell electrons back and forth from the grid using those batteries, that’s a huge opportunity.”
Watch the segment below:
Granholm says Tesla, which recently moved its headquarters to Austin, is doing just that in its previous home of California. The EV manufacturer joined with that state’s power utility, PG&E, and created a virtual electric grid.
But, there is plenty of concern in Texas that our grid is not ready for the EV revolution.
Granholm says Texas is not alone in that worry.
“It’s not just Texas. Every state is going through this same assessment in that, you know, it’s not a light switch that you flip on. It is going to happen over time,” she told us. | https://www.kens5.com/article/news/politics/inside-politics/electric-vehicles-business-opportunity-texas-us-energy-secretary/287-1d9e88aa-3c38-41be-b8b1-bc8edd8c36e2 | 2022-07-03T05:52:25Z | https://www.kens5.com/article/news/politics/inside-politics/electric-vehicles-business-opportunity-texas-us-energy-secretary/287-1d9e88aa-3c38-41be-b8b1-bc8edd8c36e2 | true |
LAFAYETTE, La. (AP) — Dr. Julie Broussard works 60 hours some weeks, going back to the hospital at night or on weekends when on-call, but other times, she can be found in a back room of her house, listening to showtunes and painting oyster shells.
“I go to work a lot of days with gold paint on my fingers,” she said with a laugh.
Broussard, 46, is chief anesthesiologist for the Ochsner Lafayette General Health System and a mom of two teenagers. She recently added the title of maker of unique gold-gilded oyster art to her resumé.
Just before Christmas, as Omicron was surging, Broussard was at the hospital and saw ceramic oyster art from New Orleans on social media. She told the nurses she worked with that she was going to make them for Christmas gifts.
“Like everybody else, I YouTubed it and went to a craft shop,” she said.
They loved the presents and she enjoyed the time spent making them. They encouraged her to make an Etsy store, and Gold and Grit Designs was born.
“It’s fun to do something different,” she said, “and with COVID, things have been so serious for so long. It’s nice to have something light.”
Now she has “probably 500” oysters piled up in buckets, waiting to be painted in her craft room. Her family orders a dozen raw oysters every time they go out to eat and take the shells home in a to-go box.
“My kids are super embarrassed,” she said. “They stink.”
She uses bleach to clean them at home and then leaves them out in the sun for a week to further bleach them.
Then it’s time to paint. She uses a metallic paint with flecks of gold to paint the outside and rims of the shells. That’s how she came up with the name “Gold and Grit.”
Broussard uses decorative paper napkins to apply designs to the inside of the shell, securing it with Mod Podge. The liquid serves as glue and sealer in one, leaving a clear finish over intricate floral and chinoiserie patterns.
Most of the oysters end up as ring dishes or wall art, some in the shape of crosses, but she’s also started to branch out. On her Etsy store you’ll find oyster shells holding air plants or decorating the sides of larger planters.
“It’s fun coming up with new ideas,” she said. “We’ll put an oyster on anything now.”
The Carencro native has been pleasantly surprised to find there’s a market for what she’s making. She’s had large orders, like a bride who gave them as bridesmaid gifts, as well as individual purchases online and in-person at local markets and pop-ups.
“Nowadays with everything mass produced, people like stuff that’s handcrafted with some heart and soul,” Broussard said. “People want to support people who are here.” | https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/Lafayette-doctor-uses-oyster-shells-to-create-art-17281893.php | 2022-07-03T05:53:36Z | https://www.ourmidland.com/news/article/Lafayette-doctor-uses-oyster-shells-to-create-art-17281893.php | false |
Terrifying moment a young supermarket worker who tried to stop brazen teen 'thieves' is set upon by the pair as they nearly rip her hair out before fleeing the scene
- CCTV footage emerged of a supermarket worker allegedly assaulted by a teen
- The alleged attack occurred at a Drakes supermarket in central Adelaide
- The worker confronted the teen after she allegedly tried to shoplift groceries
Shocking footage has emerged of a supermarket worker being assaulted and having her hair pulled by a young teenager allegedly shoplifting.
The worker had confronted the teenager, 14, at Drakes supermarket in Walkley Heights, Adelaide before she was attacked.
The assault occurred around 6:30pm on June 23, according to South Australia Police.
CCTV footage from the supermarket, which was released by 7News, showed the teenager and her friend, 17, enter the store.
The pair could be seen walking down an aisle and put grocery items in their clothes.
An Adelaide supermarket employee was allegedly assaulted and had her hair pulled after she confronted a teenager accused of shoplifting
An employee confronted the duo about the alleged shoplifting before she was attacked by the younger teen and had her hair pulled.
The teenager then grabbed a handful of lollipops from a nearby stand and threw it at the worker before fleeing.
Drakes Supermarkets Director John-Paul Drake told 7News the assault was one of the 'most horrific' he had seen in his retail career.
'This footage needs to be out there so people can understand this is some of the things we're dealing with on the front line and it's just not acceptable,' he said.
'The power of CCTV in this example is proven to be very successful because the one thing about the camera, it actually doesn't lie.'
CCTV footage showed the teen, 14, and her friend, 17, (both pictured) enter the Drakes supermarket in Walkley Heights and stuffed their clothes with groceries. A worker at the store confronted the duo before she was attacked
A South Australia Police spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia that the pair have since been charged.
'A 14-year-old girl from Walkley Heights was arrested and charged with aggravated theft and assault. She was bailed to appear in the Adelaide Youth Court on 5 August,' the spokesperson said.
'A 17-year-old girl from Walkley Heights was reported for aggravated theft and will be summonsed to appear in court at a later date.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10977243/Drakes-supermarket-worker-attacked-teen-thieves-Adelaide-shop-two-girls-flee-scene.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-07-03T05:54:19Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10977243/Drakes-supermarket-worker-attacked-teen-thieves-Adelaide-shop-two-girls-flee-scene.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false |
BEAUFORT, S.C. (AP) — Former Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling says he has a new perspective on life after nearly drowning six weeks ago in a sailing accident on the Beaufort River, and new mission: promoting CPR training.
Keyserling was basically a goner when people reached him May 12 after the cat boat he and his brother Paul were sailing May 21 in the Beaufort River tipped in a gust of wind, sending both men into the water.
“I was blue,” Keyserling said. “My eyes were just sort of staring into nowhere. Totally unresponsive to anything. No pulse. But that team just wouldn’t quit.”
Or at least that’s what he’s told.
Keyserling doesn’t remember people pulling him from the river, rushing him to land and resuscitating him.
“No pain,” Keyserling says, “no struggle, no memories of anything.”
Keyserling’s spoke to the newspaper on his 74th birthday. His face was ruddy; he was grateful to be alive.
That team — passersby in two motorboats, including, luckily, a nurse, and later firefighters and EMTs and Beaufort Memorial Hospital employees — are credited with bringing Keyserling back from the brink.
Two weeks after nearly drowning, Keyserling met with firefighters who were involved in his rescue.
“I got very teary and I said, ’I was dead,” Keyserling recalled. “I’m alive two weeks later. Look at me. It’s because of you.”
It was an emotional meeting for everybody. But one of the firefighters said something Keyserling says he will never forget. What the former mayor did not realize, the firefighter said, was that they train each day to save people, but they can’t save everybody.
"'It makes us feel good that all the training and everything we do worked,’” said Keyserling, recounting what the firefighter told him. “‘It does something for our morale to have a win. And taking somebody who is totally blue, with no sign of life and (being) able to bring them back, makes what we do that much more important to us.’”
Keyserling, a life-long Beaufort resident, says he’s been recreating on the water alone since he was 7 and never has been trained in CPR, despite seeing countless advertisements for training over the years.
“Had I been in the power boat and come across the distressed sailor who was in my condition, would I have been equipped to do what they did for me?” he says.
As a result of his experience, Keyserling says he plans to promote the idea of bringing boaters together, perhaps once a year, for CPR training. It’s criminal, he says, that “we have this water and we use it but we’re not aware of what it can do — and what we can do to make it safer for other people.”
Keyserling spent three days in the hospital. Ten ribs were broken in the process of getting water out of his lungs and restarting his breathing. For five weeks, he slept in a recliner because of the pain.
Once he got off the pain medication, and his head began to clear, he realized he had to drop all of the things he typically worries about and just take care of himself. He kept it simple: No. 1 was keeping his oxygen concentration at 95%. No. 2 was getting up and walking a little bit. No. 3, eat. No. 4, get some sun.
“That’s how you make it through the first three or four days,” Keyserling says.
Given it hasn’t quite been six weeks since the rescue, Keyserling calls his recovery “remarkable.” His ribs are healing. He’s getting his lung capacity back. “I’m surprised every day,” he says.
The experience affirmed his belief in humanity “but specifically Beaufort.”
Keyserling doesn’t remember anything other than going sailing and getting ready to race his cat boat. A cat boat has a gaff rig. That means there’s a little boom off the top of the mast, as well as a regular boom. The gaff rig became twisted in a line so part of the sail went one way, and part of the sail went one way.
“At the same time a huge gust of wind came from absolutely nowhere and just knocked us down,” Keyserling says.
He remembers the boat being on its side and halfway underwater. Keyserling said he went under to try to grab a line with the thought that he could give the line to one of the boats that had arrived to help. “And that’s the last thing I remember until I woke up in the hospital.”
Keyserling had already served on the City Council — and two terms as a state representative — before he was elected mayor in 2008 and reelected in 2012 and 2016. He left office in 2020 but hasn’t slowed down. Now he’s involved with a not-for-profit called Second Founding of America: Reconstruction Beaufort, whose mission is telling the untold stories of the Reconstruction Era, which includes restoring and conserving historic structures from that period.
All of his life, Keyserling says, he’s given “150% in everything I’ve done.” But now, he says, he wants to spend more time with his friends, maybe those he hasn’t seen in a few years, and traveling to places he’s never experienced before. “It’s not going to prevent me from doing what I needed to do,” he says of reserving more time for his personal life.
Keyserling visited the Grand Army of the Republic Hall on Newcastle Street one day earlier this week with former Beaufort County Coroner Ed Allen. Built in 1896, its one of the historic structures Keyserling’s group is involved in preserving. Allen kidded Keyserling about the sailing accident, saying he survived because he still has work to do.
“You were too bad to go to hell,” Allen said, “and not good enough to go to heaven. So right now, you’re still with us.”
For now, Keyserling plans to take a break from sailing — and smoking.
For years, he says, he’s been looking for an excuse and the courage to quit smoking. Part of his recovery includes breathing exercises using a “bubble blower.”
“You know, the funny thing is when I want a cigarette I get my little bubble blower,” Keyserling says, “and I suck on that instead of a cigarette and I know I’m clearing my lungs instead of cluttering my lungs.”
Keyserling says nearly drowning has affected his perspective.
“I guess I’ve come to realize no one’s immortal,” he says. “And there are many things we’d like to see in the world change, that no matter how hard we work on them, how much we dedicate ourselves to, there’s only so much we as individuals can do.” | https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/Former-Beaufort-mayor-embraces-life-after-near-17281891.php | 2022-07-03T05:56:39Z | https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/Former-Beaufort-mayor-embraces-life-after-near-17281891.php | true |

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Alexander Volkanovski defeated Max Holloway for the third time Saturday night, defending his featherweight title by unanimous decision with a dominant striking performance at UFC 276.
Israel Adesanya also retained his middleweight belt with a tepid unanimous-decision victory over Jared Cannonier in the main event at T-Mobile Arena on the Vegas Strip.
Volkanovski (25-1) extended his winning streak to 22 fights with a commanding display against Holloway (23-7), the former champion at 145 pounds. Volkanovski executed a sharp boxing game plan against one of the UFC's best punchers, bloodying Holloway's face early on and steadily increasing the punishment into the final minutes.
Holloway’s entire face was crimson at the final bell. Volkanovski won every round on all three judges’ scorecards, 50-45.
“Max Holloway is an absolute beast,” Volkanovski said. “That intensity that we both had, I needed it. I really needed it. I had to get in my own head.”
Adesanya (23-1) won his belt three years ago as one of the UFC's most entertaining fighters and personalities, but his elaborate ring walk might have been the most thrilling part of his dry, technical victory over the cautious Cannonier (15-6).
After copying famed professional wrestler The Undertaker on a walk that included the wrestler's signature hat and a large urn, Adesanya patiently picked at Cannonier with kicks and occasional punches for five rounds. Cannonier, getting his first UFC title shot at 38 years old, struggled to find a consistent striking range, and he didn't show enough desperation to figure it out.
Adesanya won on all three judges' scorecards, 50-45, 49-46 and 49-46. He has never lost a UFC middleweight fight, but he has just one stoppage victory in his five 185-pound fights since 2019.
“It was really hard to get going, because they had an excellent game plan,” Adesanya said.
The penultimate bout of UFC 276 concluded a memorable trilogy between Volkanovski and Holloway, likely the two greatest featherweights in UFC history outside of long-reigning champ Jose Aldo. Volkanovski won two highly competitive fights by decision over Holloway in 2019 and 2020, but Holloway won his next two fights to reassert his claim to another shot at the belt he held for three years.
Two proficient strikers understandably kept the fight on the feet, but the smaller Volkanovski capably closed the distance to do damage in the first two rounds, particularly in opening a nasty cut above Holloway's left eye. Holloway's answers dwindled as his cuts grew larger, and Volkanovski patiently racked up scoring shots to leave no doubt in the decision.
Afterward, Volkanovski said he intends to move up 10 pounds to fight for the lightweight title, which is currently vacant after champion Charles Oliveira missed weight for his victory over Justin Gaethje in May.
Before the title fights, Alex Pereira demolished Sean Strickland with strikes midway through the first round of a victory that burnished the Brazilian kickboxing champion's status as an immediate title contender at middleweight. Pereira showered and rushed back to the arena after his bout to watch the main event.
Bryan Barbarena also stopped Robbie Lawler on strikes late in the second round of a brutal fight in which both veterans absorbed tremendous punishment. After losing the first round on two judges' scorecards, Barbarena ended it with a prolonged flurry that began with a series of step-in elbows to break down the defense of the 40-year-old Lawler, who had his first UFC bout in 2002.
On the undercard, Jim Miller set a UFC record with his 24th career victory, finishing Donald Cerrone with a guillotine choke in the second round.
The 38-year-old Miller's landmark victory broke his tie with Cerrone and Andrei Arlovski for the UFC's career wins mark.
“You’re never going to see the (combined) numbers that came into this fight ever again, but I’m excited to get the W,” Miller said. “That guillotine, I can do it in my sleep. I knew it was only a matter of time.”
The 39-year-old Cerrone retired in the cage after the bout. Cerrone beat Miller in their first meeting in 2014, but Cerrone is now 4-10 since 2016 with a seven-fight winless streak.
Veteran flyweight Jessica Eye announced her retirement after losing a decision to Maycee Barber. Eye, who turns 36 this month, fought for the 125-pound title in 2019, but has now lost five of six.

A Florida county is quarantining after discovery of invasive Giant African land snail
By Zoe Sottile, CNN
A Florida county is under quarantine due to the discovery of a fast-growing population of invasive giant African land snails.
The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) confirmed there were giant African land snails in the New Port Richey area of Pasco County on June 23, according to FDACS’ website.
The snails pose a health risk to humans because they carry a parasite called rat lungworm, which can cause meningitis, Christina Chitty, a public information director at FDACS, told CNN.
They can produce up to 2,500 eggs per year, so the population is difficult to control.
According to Chitty, the population in Pasco County likely originated from the illegal pet trade. Giant African land snails are illegal to own as pets in the United States. But some exotic pet owners still keep the invasive pests. If the owners discard them into the wild or accidentally lose them, they can quickly establish a foothold, feeding on over 500 different plant species and even consuming the paint and stucco off houses as a source of calcium.
Chitty said the department is currently investigating the population and determining how many snails are in Pasco County. The snails are native to east Africa and can grow up to 8 inches long.
The quarantine took effect June 25 and prevents residents from moving the snail or related items, like plants and soil, in or out of the designated quarantine area. Residents who think they have spotted a giant African land snail are advised to call the FDACS hotline and avoid touching the snail without gloves on due to the meningitis risk.
According to Chitty, FDACS plans to spend three years eradicating the population in Pasco County, using the pesticide metaldehyde to treat the soil.
“The goal is to eradicate” the snails, said Chitty. “It is a comprehensive and extensive process.”
This is not the first time Florida has dealt with an invasion of giant snails. In 2011, a population of the pests was discovered in Miami-Dade County. It wasn’t until 2021 the population was fully eradicated.
While the snails in Miami-Dade County had grey-colored flesh, the snails in Pasco County have white flesh, said Chitty.

NICE, France (AP) — Tourism is booming again in France — and so is COVID-19. French officials have “invited” or “recommended” people to go back to using face masks but stopped short of renewing restrictions that would scare visitors away or revive antigovernment protests.
From Paris commuters to tourists on the French Riviera, many people seem to welcome the government’s light touch, while some worry that required prevention measures may be needed.
Virus-related hospitalizations rose quickly in France over the past two weeks, with nearly 1,000 patients with COVID-19 hospitalized per day, according to government data. Infections are also rising across Europe and the United States, but France has an exceptionally high proportion of people in the hospital, according to Our World in Data estimates.
French government spokesperson Olivia Gregoire has said there are no plans to reintroduce national regulations that limit or set conditions for gathering indoors and other activities.
“The French people are sick of restrictions,” she said Wednesday on channel BFMTV. “We are confident that people will behave responsibly.”
France’s parliamentary elections last month resulted in President Emmanuel Macron losing his majority in the national legislature, while parties on the far right and the far left that had protested his government’s earlier vaccine and mask rules gained seats.
After the prime minister this week recommended that people resume wearing masks on public transportation, commuter Raphaelle Vertaldi said, “We need to deal with the virus, but we can’t stop living because of it.”
Vertaldi, who was boarding a train in Boussy-Saint-Antoine south of Paris, said she opposed mandatory mask use but would cover her mouth and nose again, if the government requires it.
Hassani Mohammed, a postal worker in Paris, didn’t wait for the government to decide. He masks up before his daily commute. With his wife recovering from surgery and two children at home, he does not want to risk contracting the coronavirus a third time.
“I realized that the pandemic does not belong to the past,” Mohammed said.
Masks have been contentious in France. Early in the pandemic, the French government suggested masks weren’t helpful. It ultimately introduced some of Europe’s toughest restrictions, including an indoors and outside mask mandate that lasted more than a year, along with strict lockdowns.
A Paris court ruled Tuesday that the French government failed to sufficiently stock up on surgical masks at the start of the pandemic and to prevent the virus from spreading. The administrative court in Paris also ruled that the government was wrong to suggest early on that that masks did not protect people from becoming infected.
The government lifted most virus rules by April, and foreign tourists have returned by land, sea and air to French Mediterranean beaches, restaurants and bars.
In the meantime, French hospitals are struggling with long-running staff and funding shortages. Local officials are contemplating new measures, including an indoor mask mandate in some cities, but nothing that would curb economic activity.
French tourism professionals expect a booming summer season despite the virus, with numbers that may even surpass pre-pandemic levels as Americans benefit from the weaker euro and others rediscover foreign travel after more than two years of a more circumscribed existence.
On the French Riviera, a slow economic recovery began last summer. But with attendance at gatherings still capped, social distancing rules and travel restrictions in place a year ago, most visitors to the area were French.
A tour guide and electric bicycle taxi driver in Nice described her joy at seeing foreign visitors again. During France’s repeated lockdowns, she transported essential workers, and took people to hospitals, to care for elderly relatives or for PCR tests.
Now, passengers on her bike from the U.S., Australia, Germany, Italy or beyond reach for the hand disinfectant taped to the barrier between the passenger and driver’s seats. She said she still diligently disinfects the bike before each ride, “like it’s 2020.”
A retired couple from the U.K. visited France this week on their first trip abroad since pandemic travel restrictions were lifted. They started with a cruise down the River Rhône – face masks were mandatory on the ship – and ended with a few days on the Mediterranean.
“It’s been delightful from start to finish,” said Ros Runcie, who was in Nice with her husband, Gordon. “Everyone is so pleased to see you, everyone is really polite and nice to visitors.”
Sue Baker, who was traveling with her husband, Phil, and the Runcies, observed: “It feels very much like pre-2020.”
Asked about the possible return of French mask rules, Phil Baker said, “Masks are a bit uncomfortable, especially in the heat.”
But his wife added, “If it means we can still go on a holiday, we’ll put them back on without hesitation.”

NEW YORK (AP) — A 35-year-old New York man is facing trespassing and stalking charges after authorities said he entered two New York City residences linked to the famed singer-songwriter Taylor Swift.
Police say the suspect, who was arrested Friday, entered one of the residential buildings, located in the city’s Tribeca neighborhood, on March 26. He walked “through an unlocked door and remained unlawfully” before fleeing on foot when security told him to leave, investigators said.
On June 12, the same man entered another residential building linked to Swift, located on the same street, and “made threats through the intercom toward a 32 year-old female,” according to a spokesperson for the Office of the Deputy Commissioner, Public Information.
Swift, 32, has had prior issues with alleged stalkers. In 2018, police said a man broke into her Tribeca townhouse and took a nap. That same year, a Colorado man was arrested outside a Beverly Hills home owned by Swift with a knife, a rope and ammunition. | https://www.wdtn.com/entertainment-news/ap-entertainment/man-found-at-taylor-swift-properties-faces-stalking-charges/ | 2022-07-03T06:42:25Z | https://www.wdtn.com/entertainment-news/ap-entertainment/man-found-at-taylor-swift-properties-faces-stalking-charges/ | true |
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Zion Williamson’s lost season to injury and unusual absence from the New Orleans Pelicans during his recovery didn’t stop the club from betting big on their long-term future together.
The star forward agreed Saturday to a five-year, $193 million extension with New Orleans that has the potential to be worth as much as $231 million, Williamson’s agent, Austin Brown, told The Associated Press.
Classified as a maximum rookie extension under the NBA’s labor agreement, the deal sets the stage for the 6-foot-6, 280-pound, high-scoring power forward to give an All-Star caliber boost to a squad that recently proved it could make the playoffs without him.
ESPN first reported the agreement, also citing information provided by Brown, who is the co-director of CAA Sports’ basketball division. The Pelicans have not yet announced the extension, which under NBA rules cannot be signed until July 6.
The move signifies a desire by the 2019 No. 1 overall draft choice out of Duke to see how much his return could help a squad that improved dramatically late last season and made a surprisingly competitive playoff showing.
It is also a show of faith by the Pelicans in the injury-plagued Williamson, who has played a total of 85 games in his first three NBA seasons — and missed all of last season with a foot injury.
This spring, the Pelicans won two Western Conference play-in games before taking top-seeded Phoenix to six games in the first round of the 2022 playoffs. They did so with a squad led by high-scoring wing Brandon Ingram, veteran guard CJ McCollum, center Jonas Valanciunas and a supporting cast of young players who blossomed under first-time NBA head coach Willie Green.
One season earlier, Williamson averaged a team-high 27 points and became a first-time All-Star during what was his lone NBA campaign that was not mostly or entirely wiped out by injuries.
Williamson played in just 24 games as a rookie because of a preseason right knee injury (lateral meniscus).
He played in 61 of 72 games in his second season. But he hurt his foot during the 2021 offseason while performing basketball drills with his stepfather, with whom he had previously entrusted his offseason training.
The Pelicans didn’t reveal the injury until the first day of training camp in September, saying they hoped he’d be ready to play by the regular-season opener on Oct. 20. Williamson initially agreed with that timeline, which proved exceedingly optimistic. He wound up missing the entire regular season and playoffs.
Williamson also chose to spend a significant portion of the season away from New Orleans and the Pelicans. He chose to rehabilitate in Oregon, where his shoe sponsor, Nike, is based.
During that time, the Pelicans offered few updates on Williamson, any mention of whom was later conspicuously absent from Pelicans promotional material regarding season ticket renewals for the 2022-23 season.
No NBA player has declined a maximum extension of their rookie NBA contract, although the awkwardness between Williamson and the Pelicans led to speculation that Williamson might be the first.
But Williamson rejoined the team in March and appeared emotionally invested in its playoff run, routinely engaging in celebrations of triumphant moments near the bench.
And when the season ended, Williamson said if New Orleans offered a maximum extension, he “wouldn’t be able to sign it fast enough.”
“It was a different feel this year. You saw it on the court,” said Williamson, who had a different coach in each of his first three NBA seasons. “We have a special group. I truly believe that.”
In late May, several weeks after the Pelicans season had ended, the club announced that Williamson had been cleared to engage in basketball activities without restrictions.
With Williamson sidelined and Green a rookie head coach, the Pelicans started 1-12 last season. But they steadily climbed into contention for a Western Conference postseason berth.
They had begun improving even before acquiring McCollum from Portland two days before the NBA trade deadline. McCollum helped them rally to clinch a ninth overall seed and a home play-in game.
The Pelicans defeated 10th-seeded San Antonio. They then won a second play-in game over the Clippers in Los Angeles to advance to the first round of the playoffs against top-seeded Phoenix
New Orleans won twice in that series, which was tied at 2 games apiece before the Suns closed it out with consecutive victories.

NORTH PLAINS, Ore. (AP) — Branden Grace won LIV Golf’s first stop on American soil, an event that drew critics and protestors alike because of the upstart series’ funding by Saudi Arabia.
Grace closed with a 7-under 65 on Saturday to finish at 13 under in the 54-hole tournament at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club. The 34-year-old South African won $4 million.
The fledgling LIV series, fronted by CEO Greg Norman and funded by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund, aims to challenge the PGA Tour. It has lured some players, including Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka and Phil Mickelson, with the promise of big signing bonuses, hefty prize purses and fewer events.
Grace beat Mexico’s Carlos Ortiz by two strokes.
“Played flawless golf, played really, really well when I needed to do something special and came up and managed to pull it out,” Grace said. “But just what a great day, it was amazing to come here, this new format, this new everything is amazing and everybody here is having a blast.”
Ortiz, ranked No. 119 in the world, shot a 69. Johnson (71) finished four back with Patrick Reed (67).
The 48-man field in Oregon competed for a $20 million purse, with an additional $5 million prize fund for a team competition. There was no cut and even the last-place finisher earned a payday of $120,000. Charl Schwartzel won the tour’s inaugural event outside of London (and the team portion) and pocketed $4.75 million.
The Four Aces team, led by Johnson, won the team competition at Pumpkin Ridge.
LIV Golf also announced Saturday that English player Pat Casey has joined the series. Casey, 44, has won three times on the PGA Tour and 15 times on the European Tour, and is ranked No. 26 in the world. He has not played a tournament round since March because of injuries.
The PGA Tour has responded to the upstart tour by suspending every active member who competed in the first LIV event. Those who played in Oregon were also suspended unless they resign their tour memberships.
LIV Golf has been dogged by criticism since its inception, well before it came to tiny North Plains, about 20 miles west of downtown Portland.
The city’s mayor and 10 fellow mayors from nearby communities wrote the course’s Texas-based owner weeks ago, objecting that the event did not align with community values because of Saudi Arabia’s human rights abuses, including the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
A group of families whose loved ones were killed by the terrorist attack on Sept. 11 came to North Plains on the tournament’s opening day to protest the event. Fifteen of the 19 hijackers on that day in 2001 were Saudi citizens. The group plans a more sizeable demonstration for the next stop at Bedminster in New Jersey.
U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon called out the tour for “sportswashing” to detract from Saudi Arabia’s human rights record. Wyden pointed to the 2016 hit-and-run death of 15-year-old Fallon Smart in Portland. A Saudi national was accused in the case but vanished before trial, and U.S. officials believe he was spirited out of the country with the help of the Saudi government. A protestor at the entrance on Friday held a sign that read “Fallon Smart, 2000-2016.”
The players faced tough questions before the tournament about their involvement, with most reciting pat answers and maintaining that golf can be a “force for good.” Others complained about the structure and grind of the PGA Tour.
LIV Golf touts that it’s “golf, but louder.” In addition to the simultaneous team competition, the tournaments feature shotgun starts, interactive fan activities and hip-hop blaring on the driving range.
Crowds on Saturday were better than Thursday and Friday. LIV Golf said it was a sellout, but would not reveal the number of tickets sold.
The tour’s next event is set for July 29-31 at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster. Casey is expected to join at that time.

LONDON (AP) — Hundreds of thousands of people turned out on the streets of London on Saturday to mark the 50th anniversary of the U.K.’s first Pride parade, filling the streets of the British capital with color.
A vibrant crowd turned out to either take part in or watch the festivities, forming a spectacle of rainbow flags, glitter and sequins. After two years of cancellations because of the coronavirus pandemic, the parade came a half-century after Britain’s first march to celebrate Pride in 1972 in London.
Saturday’s procession took on a similar route to the original, starting outside Hyde Park and touring the streets towards Westminster. The London mayor’s office said that more than 1 million revelers attended the celebrations, which also included a concert in Trafalgar Square.
Chris Joell-Deshields, the director of organizers Pride in London, said “momentous” rights and freedoms had been earned since the inaugural event, “but there is more to be done”.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan hailed a “beautiful day” of “unity, visibility, equality and solidarity” as he joined in the celebrations.
More than 600 LGBTQ groups were expected to take part in the march, which was headed by members of the Gay Liberation Front from the 1972 protest.
Organizations ranging from charities to universities to the emergency services were also represented. But uniformed officers from London’s Metropolitan Police force weren’t among them, as has been the case in previous years.
The move came in response to LGBTQ campaigners raising concerns over their confidence in policing, in particular the quality of the police force’s investigation into murders carried out by serial killer Stephen Port. In 2016, Port was sentenced to life in prison without parole for the murders of four young gay men whom he met online.
Members of the police force were able to join Saturday’s march of their own accord.
“I think the police have been sensitive to the issues raised by the community,” Khan said. “And there will be uniformed officers in and around Pride to make sure we’re all safe, to make sure this parade is a success.”
Those taking part had been urged to take a COVID-19 test before the march with virus cases on the rise across Britain. The U.K. Health Security Agency had issued a similar caution for people showing possible symptoms of monkeypox. | https://www.wivb.com/news/world/pride-parade-returns-in-london-on-50th-anniversary/ | 2022-07-03T06:57:22Z | https://www.wivb.com/news/world/pride-parade-returns-in-london-on-50th-anniversary/ | false |

Big Dog fallacy: The two biggest dogs will always exist. Dogs exist; they are different sizes; two of them will always be the two biggest. That is a rule. The fallacy is, the two biggest dogs must fight each other. They don’t have to; they can ignore each other or form a pack of two, for hunting. They could fight over a mate, but they can also mate with different dogs. A wild dog band is in the New York Times this week for surviving a thousand-mile journey through predator and disease-laden Africa.
Can residents of the Rio Grande speak out about the new round of nuclear manufacturing at Los Alamos? Or must we just shut up and let the Ph.D.’s rule? Wait a minute, I’m a Ph.D., but I promise you, not in nuclear engineering.
So the big dogs. Former California Gov. Jerry Brown did an important review of our foreign policy in the New York Review of Books issue on March 24. Turns out, much of the foreign policy thinking is trapped in the Big Dog fallacy, and by that logical mistake, the thinkers Gov. Brown reviewed talk willy-nilly about nuclear exchanges between our country, the United States, and the People’s Republic of Xi Jinping China. Yes, flash-bang, intercontinental ballistic (that means they spin) missile nuclear warheads. They pretty much all want to beat China by a few flash-bang nuclear bombs over what China sends us.
Gov. Brown notes that while these thinkers assume we can trade with China and keep our GDP up, the two countries are on different trend lines favoring China. Hence the entrapment of these thinkers in the Big Dog fallacy. So the fallacy part is, we can’t help it that we and China are the two global big dogs, but if there must always be two big dogs, it is the fallacy of just one possibility when there has to be at least one. As shown by the contrary case of the African wild dog success, we humans appear to be the wild dogs, and the dogs the civilized ones.
What say you, amigos Nuevo Mexicanos, tell the Department of Energy nuclear science Ph.D.’s to cool their jets and figure how to manage a smaller, yet still destructive and still mutual, Mutually Assured Destruction? Or ask our companions in Los Alamos to stir the foul brew that poisons cell growth?
Oh — answer to the historic journey of the wild dogs. The band is led by three sisters, who overcame the threat of extinction and will now mate and separate into three bands in the better, new habitat. | https://www.santafenewmexican.com/opinion/my_view/inside-the-big-dog-fallacy/article_1f68b992-f27d-11ec-9fb5-0fd8b59de0ec.html | 2022-07-03T07:13:38Z | https://www.santafenewmexican.com/opinion/my_view/inside-the-big-dog-fallacy/article_1f68b992-f27d-11ec-9fb5-0fd8b59de0ec.html | false |
Surging Cubs look to sweep Red Sox
While the Boston Red Sox are suddenly slumping, the Chicago Cubs find themselves amid one of their better stretches of a rather dismal season.
The Cubs try for a season-high fifth straight victory and series sweep of the visiting Red Sox on Sunday.
Boston won seven straight from June 19-26, but is 1-4 since -- with three of those losses coming by one or two runs. The Red Sox went 20-6 last month. But Boston started July with a 6-5 loss on Friday followed by a 3-1 defeat on Saturday in which it mustered just five hits.
The Red Sox last dropped three straight as part of a season-high five-game losing streak from May 4-8.
Meanwhile, Chicago, 14 games under .500, has outscored its opponents 32-16 in winning four in a row -- plus seven of 10 overall. Looking to complete their first series sweep of the season, the Cubs have also won a season-high four straight and six of eight at home.
"Winning. I don't think it is something that one day you just turn the switch on and say, `Now it's time to win,' " Cubs shortstop Nico Hoerner told the club's official website. "Winning takes practice, and it takes a lot of people, and it takes daily work."
Hoerner has been a big reason for Chicago's recent success while recording at least two hits in seven of his last 10 contests. He's batting .514 (19-for-37) during that 10-game stretch.
Meanwhile, Chicago's bullpen has allowed one run while striking out 12 with three walks over 12 1/3 innings of this series.
After starter Alec Mills exited two batters into Saturday's game because of a lower-back issue, the Cubs will look for a longer outing from scheduled starter Keegan Thompson (7-3, 3.34 ERA) in this finale.
The right-hander didn't allow a run through five innings versus Cincinnati on Tuesday, then was charged with four over his final 1 1/3 during a 5-3 loss.
Thompson, who yielded only one run over 12 innings of his previous two starts, also gave up eight hits and struck out eight without a walk against the Reds.
The Red Sox are slated to give right-hander Connor Seabold (0-1, 13.50 ERA) a second straight start after he was roughed up in his 2022 debut earlier this week.
In his second major league start ever, Seabold allowed seven runs and nine hits, including three home runs, while striking out seven and walking one over 4 2/3 innings of the Red Sox's 7-2 loss at Toronto on Monday.
"He's a good one," Boston manager Alex Cora said of Seabold, despite the tough outing. "It just happened that it was the first one this year against a tough team.
"He's a guy we really like."
Boston's Alex Verdugo is batting .383 with just three strikeouts during a 12-game hitting streak. Teammate Jarren Duran, meanwhile, is 10-for-19 with three doubles and a homer in his last four contests.
Chicago's Patrick Wisdom, who recorded two hits Saturday, is batting .318 with 13 RBIs in his last 11 games.

BJP’s Rahul Narvekar elected Maharashtra Assembly Speaker
Mumbai July 03, 2022 09:24 ISTRahul Narvekar wins 164 votes while opposition gets 107 votes
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA Rahul Narvekar was elected the Speaker of the Maharastra Legislative Assembly on Sunday.
Mr. Narvekar, who polled 164 votes, defeated Opposition candidate Rajan Salvi who got 107 votes in the elections held on the first day of the special two-day session of the Legislative Assembly. Mr. Salvi was the candidate of the Uddhav Thackeray faction Shiv Sena-NCP-Congress combine.
Two MLAs of Samajwadi Party and One MLA of AIMIM abstained from voting. One AIMIM MLA did not attend the session.
The four-day-old Shiv Sena-BJP Government will face the floor test on the second day on July 4.
Rebel Shiv Sena MLAs who support Mr. Shinde returned to Mumbai from Goa on Saturday evening on the eve of the Assembly session, and were lodged in a luxury hotel in south Mumbai, where Vidhan Bhavan, venue of the floor test, is located.
NCP chief Sharad Pawar claimed that Narhari Zirwal, the Deputy Speaker, can perform officiating Speaker's duties even though a no-confidence motion is pending against him. The post of Speaker is vacant since February last year after Nana Patole of Congress quit.
As many as 50 MLAs who support Mr. Shinde, including 39 rebel legislators of the Shiv Sena, on Saturday evening flew to Mumbai from Goa by a chartered flight. Mr. Shinde, who had flown to Goa in the morning, accompanied them back.
Mr. Shinde has the support of 10 legislators of smaller parties and independents and 106 MLAs of the BJP in the 288-member House.
Following is the party position in the Assembly: Shiv Sena 55, NCP 53, Congress 44, BJP 106, Bahujan Vikas Aghadi 3, Samajwadi Party 2, AIMIM 2, Prahar Janshakti Party 2, MNS 1, CPI (M) 1, PWP 1, Swambhimani Paksha 1, Rashtriya Samaj Paksha 1, Jansurajya Shakti Party 1, Krantikari Shetkari Party 1, and Independents 13.
There is a vacancy due to the death of Shiv Sena MLA Ramesh Latke in May.
Two NCP members — former Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar and former Food and Civil Supplies Minister Chhagan Bhujbal — have tested COVID-19 positive, while two other party legislators — Anil Deshmukh and Nawab Malik — are currently in jail.

Family sues after 11-year-old boy killed in theme park accident
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - The family of an 11-year old boy who died on a water ride at the Altoona, Iowa, amusement park Adventureland a year ago has filed a wrongful death lawsuit in state court alleging the park failed to properly maintain and repair its rides.
David and Sabrina Jaramillo, of Cedar Rapids, and three of their children filed the lawsuit Thursday. They and 11-year old Michael Jaramillo were on the Raging River ride at the park on July 3, 2021, when the raft carrying all six family members flipped over trapping them beneath the water.
Michael Jaramillo drowned and other family members, including his 15-year-old brother, were injured.
The family seeks monetary damages for negligence.
An attorney for the park says safety has always been a priority and a number of extraordinarily unusual factors came together to cause the accident.

DEAR ABBY: My first wife died of colon cancer 25 years ago. She was extremely brave and fought hard for two years, but in the end, it was a blessing when her suffering ended. I remarried 20 years ago, and my second wife has now been diagnosed with the same cancer. When the diagnosis came back, I have to admit my first reaction was to want to run away because I didn’t want to go through that again.
I know I can’t run away, but the fear and anxiety are overpowering. I have considered suicide but will do that only if my wife dies. I can’t live with this pain for longer than that. I know I should see a counselor, but right now my wife is the one who needs the attention. My world is in turmoil. I don’t think I can work effectively. I’m lost. I don’t even know what to ask of you, but if you have any suggestions, I would gladly heed them. -- WOEFUL IN THE WEST
DEAR WOEFUL: I am sorry about your wife’s diagnosis and the overwhelming stress you are experiencing. But it is very important that you and your wife remember there have been many advances in the treatment of cancer that didn’t exist a quarter of a century ago. For both your sakes, talk with her oncologist about what her treatment options are and how you can support her during them.
Caregiver support groups could be helpful for you if you choose to contact them. You will find them at cancer.org, the American Cancer Society’s website. Please give it a try and let me know how you are doing. Suicide is not the answer to your problem. Your wife’s life -- and yours -- are precious. She needs you, and that has to be of primary importance. If your suicidal thoughts continue, I urge you to contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. The number to call is 800-273-8255.
DEAR ABBY: I have what I think is the opposite problem that many adult children have. My father DOESN’T want to spend holidays with me or my sister. I’ve noticed this trend in the last few years, and it is really painful to accept.
When I told him I was going to my uncle’s house last Christmas because I wanted to be around people who wanted me to be there, he agreed it was a good idea. His response crushed my soul. He then expressed that holidays aren’t really that much fun, that he doesn’t enjoy traveling and that we fight during them.
I’m trying to accept that he doesn’t want to spend the holidays with us, and somehow not feel rejected. It’s a struggle to feel loved by him. Any advice? -- UNWANTED ADULT CHILD IN PENNSYLVANIA
DEAR UNWANTED: Many people feel stressed at holiday time, particularly when things don’t go as planned. Make plans to get together with your father that do not involve holidays. Because traveling is hard for him, make alternative plans with him so he won’t feel stressed when you visit him. If that doesn’t make things easier for both of you, arrange to spend these holidays with more welcoming friends or relatives in the future.

SLOVYANSK, Ukraine (AP) — A group of young off-duty Ukrainian soldiers gathered at a military distribution center to enjoy a rare respite from the fighting that has again engulfed their fractured home in eastern Ukraine.
As they shared jokes and a pizza, artillery explosions could be heard a few kilometers away — a reminder of the looming battle that threatens to unfold here in the city of Slovyansk, which was occupied by Russian proxy fighters in 2014.
“Everyone knows that there will be a huge battle in Slovyansk,” said one of the soldiers, who could not be named for security reasons.
Now, eight years after their city was last occupied, the war has returned. Slovyansk could become the next major target in Russia’s campaign to take the Donbas region, Ukraine’s predominantly Russian-speaking industrial heartland, if Moscow captures Lysychansk — the last remaining Ukrainian stronghold in Luhansk province, 70 kilometers (43 miles) to the east.
Another soldier, a 23-year-old accountant who joined up when the invasion began, said Ukrainian forces simply do not have the weapons to fight off the superior arsenal of the approaching Russian army.
“We know what’s coming” he said with a sad smile.
These soldiers were still teenagers when pro-Russian separatists captured and held the town for three months. The brief occupation in 2014 terrorized Slovyansk, where dozens of officials and journalists were taken hostage, and several killings took place.
Fierce fighting and shelling broke out when the Ukrainian army laid siege to the city to recapture it.
“Actually, the war never left Slovyansk. It didn’t leave people’s heads” said Tetiana Khimion, a 43-year-old dance choreographer who converted a fishing store into a hub for local military units.
“On the one hand, it is easier for us because we know what it’s like. On the other hand, it is more difficult for us since we’ve been living like this for eight years in a suspended condition.”
Slovyansk is a city of splintered loyalties. With a large retired population, it is not uncommon to hear older residents express sympathy towards Russia or nostalgia for their Soviet past. There is also distrust of the Ukrainian army and government.
After a recent shelling of his apartment block, one resident named Sergei said he believed that the strike was launched by Ukraine.
“I’m not pro-Russian, I’m not pro-Ukrainian. I am somewhere in between” he said. “Both Russians and Ukrainians kill civilians — everyone should understand that.”
On Thursday, a group of elderly residents couldn’t hide their frustration after a bomb blast slashed open their roofs and shattered their windows.
Ukraine "says they are protecting us, but what kind of protection is this?” asked one man, who did not provide his name.
“They kneel to that Biden — may he die!” exclaimed his neighbor, Tatyana, referring to U.S. President Joe Biden.
After 2014, Khimion said, it became easier to know “who is who” in Slovyansk. “Now you can easily see: These people are for Ukraine, and these people are for Russia."
She said not enough was done after 2014 to punish people who collaborated with Russian proxies to prevent a repeat of the situation.
“That is why we cannot negotiate, we need to win. Otherwise it will be a never-ending process. It will keep repeating” she said.
The mayor of Slovyansk, Vadim Lyakh, reflects the city's new trajectory. Taking his cues from Ukraine's wartime leader, President Volodymyr Zelensky, the mayor has decorated his office with Ukrainian flags, anti-Russian symbols, portraits of national poets — even a biography of Winston Churchill.
But before 2014, he was part of a political party that sought closer ties with Russia. Lyakh said that while pro-Moscow sentiment in the city has faded in past years — in part because of the horrors witnessed in 2014 — there are still “people who are waiting for the return of the Russian troops.”
As the front line creeps ever closer, attacks on the city intensify. Three-quarters of Slovyansk’s pre-war population has fled, but the mayor said there are still too many people here, including many children. He encourages them to evacuate. He spends his days coordinating humanitarian aid and strengthening the city’s defenses.
More and more, he is among the first responders at the scene of bombardments. The Associated Press followed Lyakh and recently witnessed what authorities described as a cluster bomb attack on a residential area. One person was killed and several others wounded.
The mayor says that shelling now occurs at least four or five times a day, and the use of cluster munitions has increased in the last week. Although he remains optimistic that Ukrainian forces can keep the enemy at bay, he is also clear-sighted about his options.
“Nobody wants to be captured. When there is an imminent danger of the enemy troops entering the city, I will have to go” he said.
Lyakh said he cannot allow himself to relax, even for a few minutes.
“It is emotionally difficult. You see how people are dying and being harmed. But nevertheless, I understand that this is my job and that nobody but myself and the people around me can do" it.
One morning last week, Lyakh paid a visit to an apartment block that had been shelled overnight. Most of the windows in the building were blown out, doors were broken wide open and a power line severed.
The same building was bombed in 2014, when the shell left a gaping hole on the sixth floor, and many residents suffered broken bones.
Andrey, a 37-year-old factory worker who has lived in the building for 20 years, recalls the bombing and occupation. He said separatist forces “did and took what they liked.”
People in his circle have different opinions about Russia.
“Those who have suffered understand what this ‘Russia world’ means: It means broken houses, stolen cars and violence” he explains. “There are those who miss the Soviet Union, who think we are all one people, and they do not accept what they see with their own eyes.”
In the eight years since the separatists retreated, he said, life has markedly improved in Slovyansk.
The statue of Vladimir Lenin that once stood in the central square has been removed. Water and power supplies were renovated. New parks, squares and medical facilities were built.
“Civilization was returned to us” Andrey said.
At the military distribution hub, the young soldiers talk wistfully about their lives before the invasion.
“I had a great car, a good job. I was able to travel abroad three times a year,” said the former accountant, who plans to stay in Slovyansk with the others to defend the city. “How can we let someone just come and take our lives away from us?”
Khimion's husband is on the front lines, and she put her teenage daughter on a train to Switzerland as soon as the invasion began.
“I have been deprived of everything — a home, husband, child — what should I do now?” she asks. “We are doing everything we can to stop (the offensive), to keep it to a minimum ... But to be afraid is to abandon this place.”
At the entrance to the city, a monument bearing Slovyansk’s name is riddled with bullet holes from 2014. It has been painted over several times. It now bears the national colors of Ukraine, and a local artist has painted red flowers around each perforation.
Residents of Slovyansk wonder — some with hope, many in fear — if the sign will soon be painted yet again, in the red, white and blue of the Russia flag.

Elder Scrolls Online: High Isle sells a change of pace from slaying beasts to pacifying raging egos to prevent war with mixed results
Elder Scrolls Online: High Isle
Elder Scrolls Online: High Isle
Rating: 3/5
Developer: Zenimax Online Studios
Publisher: Bethesda
Platform: PC
Price: Rs 2,499
Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) launched in 2014, has been around for a while now. It is a Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG) where you get to create a character and live out their life in this online world. This world is based on the Elder Scroll games by Bethesda. The reason it has remained relevant for so long probably comes down to its release of chapters adding new storylines and places to explore.
With High Isle, Elder Scrolls has added a brand-new paid chapter to the world of ESO. In addition to an entirely new storyline, players explore new coastal landscapes, including an island meant for criminals. The architecture and look of the place seem to be inspired by European buildings and structures.
The story, unlike previous iterations, doesn’t dwell on Daedrics, vampires and the like. Instead the story for High Isle focuses on politics, where you are involved in peace talks to prevent a war from happening. It is low-key, but a pleasant change in pace. However, I felt like the story didn’t push it much. Especially when we are so spoilt with great stories coming in from both video games and TV. I was hoping for more nuance and excitement, which unfortunately was not the case. Instead, we get a whiff of the so-called political drama before it fades into the background.
There is still a lot of combat in the game, especially if you hunt for trouble. The enemies are not that challenging, and some bosses are way too easy, making it easier for newbies. Despite the lacklustre main story, there is still a lot to do and many side-quests to explore. There is also a whole card game within the game. The card game called Tales of Tribute is a bit challenging initially, and the tutorial does you no favours. However, a few good YouTube videos later, you should be a master of playing this game. That said, it isn’t a groundbreaking card game, and you usually end up playing it when you need a change of pace.
High Isle also looks fantastic. Elder Scrolls Online looks good and plays even better for a game launched so many years ago. The wonderful thing about ESO is that you don’t need to play with other people. You can be on your merry way doing whatever you want and play the game like any other Elder Scrolls game. There is so much to do solo; you can be forgiven for forgetting that this is, in fact, an MMORPG.
The main story quest for High Isle has around 27 hours of gameplay which is not bad. What is bad though is the things I had to do to get the game to start. The game installer is very annoying. Not only did it constantly change the estimated download time, but it also would stall the installation process if I left it to do its thing. Then after the download was completed, the installer decided the file was corrupted; this meant it had to fix the download, which took another chunk of time. I also found the server disconnected from time to time, which was a bit annoying.
Elder Scrolls Online High Isle is a pretty good addition to the franchise. It is simple enough for people who are new to the game, but at the same time, there are some challenges for veterans, making this a great game if you are looking to start playing. Server issues aside, the game looked and played well.
Squid skin inspired coffee cups
A material inspired by squid skin has been developed by researchers from the University of California, Irwine. It can be stretched to double its size, and can insulate beverage cups, restaurant to-go bags and parcels. Expansion and contraction in a squid’s skin alters the reflection and transmission of visible light, and these changes help it communicate and camouflage its body to hide from predators. The research team mimicked this approach by enabling “tunable thermoregulation” in their material, which can lead to improved energy efficiency and even protect sensitive fingers. The top layer of the material is made of copper and the underlying support layer is a common rubbery polymer. The composite material can be recycled in bulk by removing the copper with vinegar and using established commercial methods to repurpose the remaining stretchable polymer.
Wearable textile exo-muscles
Researchers in Zurich have developed Myoshirt, a wearable textile exo-muscle that serves as an extra layer of muscles. It is designed to help those with limited upper body mobility. Working via sensors embedded in the fabric, an algorithm detects the wearer’s intentional movements and the amount of force required. A motor then shortens a cable in the fabric running parallel to the wearer’s muscles—a sort of artificial tendon—and supports the desired movement, tailored to the users preferences. | https://www.mid-day.com/technology/article/the-game-of-peace-23234130 | 2022-07-03T07:36:47Z | https://www.mid-day.com/technology/article/the-game-of-peace-23234130 | true |
QUETTA, Pakistan (AP) — A passenger bus slid off a mountain road and fell into a deep ravine in heavy rain in southwest Pakistan on Sunday, killing 19 people and injuring 12 others, a government official said.
Mahtab Shah, assistant administrator for the district of Shirani in Baluchistan province, said about 35 passengers were traveling in the bus. He said rescue workers were searching for survivors in the wreckage of the destroyed vehicle and surroundings.
Shah said apparently the bus slid on the wet road amid heavy rain and the driver lost control of the vehicle, which fell about 200 feet (61 meters) into the ravine.
Deadly road accidents are common in Pakistan due to poor road infrastructure and disregard for traffic laws, as well as poorly maintained vehicles. Last month, 22 people were killed in a similar accident when a bus fell into a ravine in Qila Saifullah district. | https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Bus-falls-into-deep-ravine-in-southwest-Pakistan-17281971.php | 2022-07-03T07:39:33Z | https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Bus-falls-into-deep-ravine-in-southwest-Pakistan-17281971.php | true |

Biden Tells Americans They Will Have to Pay High Gas Prices for 'As Long as It Takes' to Defeat Putin
President Joe Biden on Thursday continued to blame Russian leader Vladimir Putin for high gasoline prices when not trash-talking the Supreme Court.
During a news conference in Madrid where NATO nations are gathered, Biden said Americans will pay high gas prices “for as long as it takes.”
According to a transcript of the news conference, Biden was asked how long he expects American motorists to pay high gas prices.
“As long as it takes so Russia cannot, in fact, defeat Ukraine and move beyond Ukraine,” Biden said. “This is a critical, critical position for the world.”

After saying prices would not go down, Biden said there was a way for prices to go down if a price cap being discussed by G7 nations for Russian oil takes place as he plans.
“The point is that we’ve said to them, ‘Here’s the deal: We’re going to allow you to have a profit on what you make but not the exorbitant prices that you’re charging for the oil now,’” Biden said. “We think it can be done, and it would drive down the price of oil, and it would drive down the price of gasoline as well.”
Biden also said that his release of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, temporarily ending the federal gas tax and then having states put their state gas taxes on pause “could bring down the price of oil about a dollar a gallon at the pump, in that range.”
Although gas prices had risen before the Russian invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, Biden said that “the bottom line is: Ultimately, the reason why gas prices are up is because of Russia. Russia, Russia, Russia.”
On the subject of his upcoming trip to Saudi Arabia, Biden was asked, “Do you expect to ask the Crown Prince or the King to increase oil production?”
“Well, first of all, that’s not the purpose of the trip,” Biden said, later adding that if he met with Saudi rulers, he would not ask them to increase oil production.
Biden was also asked, “How do you explain this to those people who feel the country is going in the wrong direction, including some of the leaders you’ve been meeting with this week …?”
“They do not think that. You haven’t found one person — one world leader to say America is going backwards. America is better positioned to lead the world than we ever have been. We have the strongest economy in the world. Our inflation rates are lower than other nations in the world,” Biden said, before taking the Supreme Court to task.
“The one thing that has been destabilizing is the outrageous behavior of the Supreme Court of the United States on overruling not only Roe v. Wade, but essentially challenging the right to privacy. We’ve been a leader in the world in terms of personal rights and privacy rights, and it is a mistake, in my view, for the Supreme Court to do what it did.
“I can understand why the American people are frustrated because of what the Supreme Court did. I can understand why the American people are frustrated because of inflation. But inflation is higher in almost every other country. Prices at the pump are higher in almost every other country. We’re better positioned to deal with this than anyone, but we have a way to go. And the Supreme Court — we have to change that decision by codifying Roe v. Wade,” Biden said.
After saying that “We are going to support Ukraine as long as it takes,” Biden later noted that “So we are going to stick with Ukraine and all of the Alliance is going to stick with Ukraine as long as it takes to, in fact, make sure that they are not defeated by — by Ukraine — I mean, excuse me, in Ukraine by — by Russia.”

A deeply divided nation got a glimpse into the chaos and the calculation that was the Trump White House on Jan. 6, 2021, through the eyes of a once-loyal 26-year-old who saw her greater duty to democracy and to the rule of law.
The courage of Cassidy Hutchinson in testifying before the House committee investigating the events of that day was a rare moment of sanity and of calm about a world in which both were in short supply — a world of broken White House china, threats to the very life of the vice president of the United States, and a White House chief of staff scrolling mindlessly through his phone as an armed insurrection sent members of Congress scrambling for safety.

But in the sunshine of this July Fourth weekend, the big questions remain. Will any of this matter? Will right-thinking Republicans come to recognize Donald Trump for the unhinged threat to democracy he remains? Will other more senior insiders come forward to add their weight to the growing case that there was indeed a conspiracy to overturn the legitimate results of the 2020 election? And will more witnesses stand up to what the committee believes are ongoing efforts at intimidation?
Hutchinson, an assistant to chief of staff Mark Meadows, cannot, must not, be the last profile in courage to have ended her career within view of the Oval Office.
Yes, that means you, Meadows.
And it means you, White House counsel Pat Cipollone.
According to Hutchinson’s testimony, it was Cipollone who, as early as Jan. 3, was warning her that she and Meadows needed to make sure Trump didn’t make any kind of trip to the Capitol after his rally.
“He said to me, ‘We need to make sure that this doesn’t happen,’ ” Hutchinson testified.

On the morning of Jan. 6, she testified, Cipollone was again warning “something to the effect of: ‘Please make sure we don’t go up to the Capitol, Cassidy. Keep in touch with me. We’re going to get charged with every crime imaginable if we make that movement happen.’ ”
So far, the committee has heard from Cipollone only during an informal interview back in April.
“It’s time for Mr. Cipollone to testify on the record,” Representative Liz Cheney, the committee vice chair, tweeted Wednesday morning. “Any concerns he has about the institutional interests of his prior office are outweighed by the need for his testimony.”
Later that day, the committee issued a subpoena to Cipollone, who will now have to decide whether his loyalty is to his former client or to the Constitution that as an attorney he swore to protect and defend.
Hutchinson provided a firsthand account of Trump’s conduct backstage at the Jan. 6 rally on the Ellipse when he found out people were being kept out of the rally who weren’t willing to go through magnetometers and risk having to surrender weapons.
“He was angry that we weren’t letting people through the mags with weapons,” Hutchinson testified, adding, “I overheard the president say something to the effect of, you know, I don’t f--ing care that they have weapons. They’re not here to hurt me. Take the f--ing mags away. Let my people in.”
Cheney rattled off a list of confiscated weapons that included pepper spray, knives, brass knuckles, tasers, body armor, gas masks, and batons. She also played the on-scene radio dispatches from Metropolitan District Police reporting people with AR-15s in trees (at 14th Street and Independence Avenue) and countless reports of people with sharpened flagpoles wearing body armor.

Hutchinson said Meadows had earlier warned her that “things could get real, real bad on the 6th.”
And they did. As rioters approached the Capitol, Hutchinson, then back at the White House, recalled asking Meadows if he had spoken to Trump about the threat.
“He said, ‘No, he wants to be alone right now,’ ” she testified, adding Meadows simply continued to scroll through his phone.
Meadows himself has refused to comply with a committee subpoena, and while the House has voted to hold him in contempt, the Justice Department has reportedly declined to prosecute him for that.
Hutchinson’s testimony is all the more remarkable in the face of what Cheney has outlined as a pattern of attempting to “influence witnesses” about to give testimony to the committee. She did not name names. The committee has routinely asked witnesses if they have been contacted by anyone connected to Trump. Here’s how one responded:
“What they said to me is, as long as I continue to be a team player, they know that I’m on the team, I’m doing the right thing, I’m protecting who I need to protect, you know, I’ll continue to stay in good graces in Trump World,” according to a transcript displayed onscreen and read aloud during the Tuesday hearing.

Another related a phone call: “[A person] let me know you have your deposition tomorrow,” that second witness said the caller relayed. “He wants me to let you know that he’s thinking about you. He knows you’re loyal and you’re going to do the right thing when you go in for your deposition.”
And, yes, witness intimidation is a crime — one more in the long list of potential crimes being documented with skill and with patience by the committee as it attempts to help the American public grasp the enormity of the bullet that democracy dodged on Jan. 6.
Beyond the fireworks and the flag-waving of this holiday weekend, it’s an appropriate moment to remember how fragile a thing democracy is and to celebrate those who truly believe in its worth and have the courage to speak out against a petty tyrant who has defiled it at every opportunity.

KYIV – Russian forces are strengthening their positions in a grueling fight to capture the last stronghold of resistance in eastern Ukraine's Luhansk province, the region's governor said Sunday.
Ukrainian fighters have spent weeks trying to defend the city of Lysychansk, and to keep it from falling to Russia, as neighboring Sievierodonetsk did a week ago. A presidential adviser predicted its fate could be determined within days.
“The occupiers threw all their forces on Lysychansk. They attacked the city with incomprehensibly cruel tactics,” Luhansk governor Serhiy Haidai said on the Telegram messaging app. “They suffer significant losses, but stubbornly advance. They are gaining a foothold in the city.”
A river separates Lysychansk from Sievierodonetsk. Oleksiy Arestovych, an adviser to the Ukrainian president, said during an online interview late Saturday that Russian forces had managed for the first time to cross the river from the north, creating a “threatening” situation.
Arestovych said they had not reached the center of the city but that the course of the fighting indicated the battle for Lysychansk would be decided by Monday. In May, Ukrainian and British officials reported that Russia lost nearly an entire battalion in an attempt to cross the Siverskyi Donets River and set up a bridgehead.
Taking Lysychansk would bring Moscow closer to its stated goal of seizing all of Ukraine's Donbas region. Luhansk and neighboring Donetsk are the two provinces that make up the Donbas, where Russia has focused its offensive since pulling back from northern Ukraine and the capital, Kyiv, in the spring.
Pro-Russia separatists have held portions of both eastern provinces since 2014, and Moscow recognizes all of Luhansk and Donetsk as sovereign republics. Syria’s government said Wednesday that it would also recognize the “independence and sovereignty” of the two areas.
The leader of neighboring Belarus, a Russian ally, claimed Saturday that Ukraine fired missiles at military targets on Belarusian territory several days ago but all were intercepted by an air defense system. President Alexander Lukashenko described the alleged strike as a provocation and noted that no Belarusian soldiers were fighting in Ukraine.
There was no immediate response from the Ukrainian military.
Belarus hosts Russian military units and was used as a staging ground for Russia’s invasion. Last week, just hours before Lukashenko was to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Russian long-range bombers fired missiles on Ukraine from Belarusian airspace for the first time.
Lukashenko has so far resisted efforts to draw his army into the war. But during their meeting, Putin announced that Russia planned to supply Belarus with the Iskander-M missile system and reminded Lukashenko that his government depends on economic support from Russia.

The inventor of the mobile phone thinks that addicted users should “get a life”.
Martin Cooper - who led the Motorola team who created the first mobile phone in the 70s and was the first person to make a call from the personal telephone in 1973 - thinks that people glued to their smartphones need to rethink their priorities.
After being asked what he would say to people who spend over five hours a day, the 93-year-old inventor told BBC Breakfast: “You really spend five hours a day? Get a life.”
Martin - who has been dubbed “the father of the cell phone” - admitted that he isn't really his blower as much as you would think. However, the invention of the iPhone in the late 00s - that set the trend for your mobile becoming a pocket computer - has meant that you can do much more on your phone than in Martin’s day, such as social media, email and photography.
According to a WhistleOut survey, millennials spend more than 23 per cent of their day on their device, which accounts for nearly a quarter of their lives.
The generation above, Gen X, spend less on theirs as the data showed they spend 16.5 per cent of their day on theirs and Baby Boomers spend the least with a total usage time of 9.9 per cent.
When they crunched the numbers, they uncovered that the average phone user will spend over 8.74 years in total. This largely due to younger people growing up with the internet and now working in tech-focused jobs. | https://nordot.app/916240449298923520 | 2022-07-03T08:32:50Z | https://nordot.app/916240449298923520 | false |
