7 killed in Ukraine as Russia pounds rebel-claimed province
KRAMATORSK, Ukraine (AP) - Russian shelling killed at least seven people in Ukraine over the past 24 hours and wounded 25 more, Ukrainian officials said Wednesday.
The country’s presidential office said Russian forces targeted cities and villages in southeast Ukraine, with most civilian casualties occurring in Donetsk province, where Russia stepped up its offensive in recent days.
Gov. Pavlo Kyrylenko said in a Telegram post that two people died in the city of Avdiivka, which is located in the center of the province, and the Donetsk cities of Sloviansk, Krasnohorivka and Kurakhove each reported one civilian killed.
“Every crime will be punished,” he wrote.
Kyrylenko urged the province’s more than 350,000 remaining residents to flee late Tuesday, saying that evacuating Donetsk was necessary to save lives and allow the Ukrainian army to put up a better defense against the Russian advance.
Donetsk is part of the Donbas, a mostly Russian-speaking industrial area where Ukraine’s most experienced soldiers are concentrated. Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday declared the complete seizure of the region’s other province, Luhansk, after Ukrainian troops withdrew from the last city under their country.
Luhansk Gov. Serhiy Haidai denied Wednesday that the Russians had completely captured the province. Heavy fighting continued in villages around Lysychansk, the city Ukrainians soldiers withdrew from and which Russian troops took on Sunday, he said.
“The Russians have paid a high price, but the Luhansk region is not fully captured by the Russian army,” Haidai said. “Some settlements have been overrun by each side several times already.”
He said up to 15,000 residents remain in Lysychansk and some 8,000 in the nearby city of Sievierodonetsk, which Russian and separatist fighters seized last month.
Pro-Russian separatists have fought Ukrainian forces and controlled much of the Donbas for eight years. Before Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, Putin recognized the independence of the two self-proclaimed separatist republics in the region.
Since Russian forces failed to make inroads in capturing Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital, Moscow has concentrated its offensive on seizing the remaining Ukrainian-held areas of the Donbas.
To the north of Donetsk, Russian forces also hit Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, with missile strikes overnight, the Kharkiv regional governor said Wednesday on Telegram.
Three districts of the city were targeted, Gov. Oleh Syniehubov said. Three people, including a toddler, sustained injuries, according to the governor. A university building and an administrative building were destroyed.
In other developments:
— European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the 27-nation European Union needs to make emergency plans to prepare for a complete cut-off of Russian gas in the wake of the Kremlin’s war in Ukraine. The EU has already imposed sanctions on Russia, including on some energy supplies, and is trying to find other sources. But von der Leyen said the bloc needed to be ready for shock disruptions coming from Moscow.

Bulgaria has already formally accepted the French proposal, which now requires the backing of North Macedonia’s parliament. Lawmakers are set to convene later this week.
The center-right main opposition party VMRO-DPMNE, many international law experts and civic organizations counter that the French proposal favors Bulgarian demands which dispute Macedonian views of regional history, language, identity and heritage.
North Macedonia has been a candidate for EU membership for 17 years. The country received a green light in 2020 to begin accession talks, but no date for the start of the negotiations has been set.

TO PROTECT LIVES IN URBAN ENVIRONMENTS WITH CIVIL RISKS
PORTO, Portugal, July 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Surforma has launched on the world market CompactShield, a ballistic plate for use in urban environments with civil risks, aimed at more demanding markets for the protection of people, especially in countries in regional blocks such as America, Africa, and the Middle East.
The Efanor group company – which owns the Sonae group – affirms that the new solution is the result of 3 years of research and development in partnership with Beyondcomposite, gaining a great advantage over existing ones, essentially in its applicability as a decorative solution, thereby not needing two components: ballistic protection and surface design, in addition to weight, durability, price.
With level IIIA, III, and IV protection, according to the NIJ standard 0108:01, the new ballistic CompactShield is mainly intended for the sectors of construction (public buildings, police stations, banks, etc.) and transport (armoured vehicles, bus driver barriers, shipping containers, etc.).
"It is a technological revolution where, in addition to protecting human lives, we incorporate the decorative factor in a single solution, allowing its application to have different uses, namely in the transport and construction sectors," says Miguel Nogueira, Surforma CEO.
The company has, this way, started a process of globally repositioning its Laminates and Compacts business, both structurally, with the introduction of new raw materials, and technically, by investing in new ranges with improved performance.
"With our new innovation strategy and product pipeline, sales can grow by 10% in the next 5 years, essentially through exports, and resulting in a forecasted increase of €7M in business by 2025," he states.
ABOUT SURFORMA
Set up in 1959, the company is the origin of the Sonae Group, a Portuguese multinational that is present in 62 countries and which manages a diversified portfolio of businesses in the areas of industry, retail, financial services, technology, shopping centres, and telecommunications. In 2021, the group's turnover exceeded €8 billion.
With over 60 years of innovation and leadership in the sector, and with the aim of creating its own identity and holding a prominent position in the production and distribution of Laminates and Compacts, SURFORMA® was set up in 2018: a global brand focused essentially on the Furniture, Construction, and Decoration industries. The company operates in over 30 countries, in 5 continents.

Hundreds of nature reserves are facing rising temperatures, falling river flows and worsening fire risk in the face of climate change, the Wildlife Trusts has said.
The federation of 46 individual charities across the UK has compiled a report looking at how climate change is affecting, or will affect, nearly 400 square miles of nature sites they manage.
It warns that species and habitats across the country are at increasing risk from a range of hazards that are expected to worsen as the climate changes, from more extreme temperatures, flooding and wildfires.
The Wildlife Trusts, collectively the UK’s sixth largest landowner, say extreme weather is already hitting many of their reserves, with wildfires destroying rare habitats, flooding increasing river pollution, and droughts drying out chalk streams and peat bogs.
The Trusts say restoring nature at scale is the solution to help wildlife cope, and society has to be prepared to see wild places change in order to survive.
They highlighted innovative projects including restoring peatland to make it more resilient to heat, drought and fire, releasing beavers to help manage water, and restoring grassland so insects can move through the landscape.
But the charities say more work is needed from governments, business and landowners to help wildlife adapt to climate change in the UK – an area already described as one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world.
The report looks at what will happen to nature sites cared for by the individual wildlife charities by the 2050s with global temperature rises on track for 3C of warming compared with pre-industrial levels – roughly where the world is heading on current policies and climate action.
It finds that almost all of the 2,700 (94%) nature reserves assessed will see maximum summer temperatures increase more than 1C compared with the average for 1981-2010.
In the south of England the situation is more extreme, with the 7% of sites that are expected to see maximum temperatures more than 1.5C hotter all found in that part of the UK.
More than half (55%) of nature sites will see nearby river flows drop by more than 30% from the 1981-2021 baseline in times of low water flows.
And half will experience 30 days or more of very high wildfire risk per year, compared with only 9% between 1981-2010, the report said.
The Wildlife Trusts are also expecting an increase in flood risk and a worsening exposure to extreme heat for staff in offices, working outside and working from home.
Kathryn Brown, director of climate change and evidence for the Wildlife Trusts, said: “Climate change is contributing more and more to nature’s decline, with devastating consequences for people and wildlife.
“We are already stepping up our efforts to restore habitats so that they benefit wildlife and are better able to store carbon.
“Our report also shows the range of actions we are taking to help nature adapt to climate change and what’s needed in the future – from further rewetting of peatlands to backing community-led rewilding projects.”
Ms Brown added: “The projected impact of climate change on our nature reserves is just the tip of the iceberg.
“We need people to join us in creating a new national vision for our landscapes because we can no longer focus only on restoring nature to a historical state; change is inevitable.”
She said a “concerted effort” is required to make more space for nature, help natural systems function properly, and create habitats for wildlife. | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/uk-world/3464182/wildlife-trusts-nature-reserves-face-hotter-temperatures-wildfires-and-floods/ | 2022-07-06T10:09:57Z | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/uk-world/3464182/wildlife-trusts-nature-reserves-face-hotter-temperatures-wildfires-and-floods/ | true |

Declan Casey is CLEARED of any serious injury after Canterbury rookie was knocked out following brutal clash with Andrew Fifita on his NRL debut
- Declan Casey has been cleared of any serious injury after his brutal head knock
- The 22-year-old was knocked out on his NRL debut for the Canterbury Bulldogs
- He was taken to hospital after his failed attempt to tackle Andrew Fifita
- The Bulldogs have confirmed that Casey could return for round 18 next weekend
Canterbury rookie Declan Casey has been cleared of serious injury after leaving the field concussed in a medi-cab on Saturday and could line up for the Bulldogs in their next game.
On debut in Canterbury's 18-6 loss to Cronulla, the 22-year-old centre knocked himself out attempting to tackle veteran Andrew Fifita in wet conditions.
Play stopped for close to five minutes while Casey lay on the ground and after leaving the field in a medi-cab, he was admitted to Westmead Hospital where he underwent CT scans.
Declan Casey has been cleared of serious injury after he was knocked out on his NRL debut
Casey was released from hospital that night and could return to the Bulldogs line-up as soon as round 18, when the side plays its next game against South Sydney.
'Declan Casey was cleared for any spinal injury after a precautionary check up at the hospital post match,' the Bulldogs said.
'He will undertake mandatory concussion protocols to return to play.'
Casey struggled to adapt to the wet conditions on debut but could yet have another chance to prove himself as Corey Allan, the man he replaced in the starting side, will be sidelined for around a month with a groin injury.
Barnstorming forward Tevita Pangai will miss the Rabbitohs game after rupturing a muscle near his Achilles tendon in the loss to Cronulla.
He is on track to return the following week against Gold Coast.
'Scans showed a rupture to the plantaris tendon which lies adjacent to the achilles,' the Bulldogs said.
'Pangai Junior will resume running when pain settles.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/nrl/article-10986805/NRL-Declan-Casey-CLEARED-injury-Canterbury-rookie-knocked-debut.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-07-06T10:10:28Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/nrl/article-10986805/NRL-Declan-Casey-CLEARED-injury-Canterbury-rookie-knocked-debut.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false |
Carrie Underwood Shares ‘Moment of Magic’ On Stage With Guns N’ Roses in London [Watch]
Carrie Underwood surprised Guns N' Roses fans in London on Friday night (July 1), taking the stage in an unannounced appearance with the classic hard rock band for what she called "a moment of magic."
The country superstar previously shared the stage with Guns N' Roses singer Axl Rose during her headlining performance at Stagecoach 2022, and she turned to social media after the London gig to share a series of photos, expressing astonishment that she actually got to perform with one of her longtime favorite bands.
"Together again…but this time in London and with a few more friends!" she writes to accompany the pictures. "Thanks, @gunsnroses and your crew for welcoming me into your world like family. And thanks to all the fans who gave these legends the royal welcome that they deserve!"
Underwood joined the band on stage at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for "Sweet Child O' Mine," one of their most enduring hits from their iconic 1987 debut album, Appetite for Destruction. In the fan-shot video below, Axl Rose sings the first verse and chorus before announcing, "Ladies and gentleman ... from Nashville, Tenn., Miss Carrie Underwood!"
Underwood takes the second verse solo, even mimicking Rose's famous serpentine dance moves as she performs, and they join voices later in the song, singing the hook together as the roaring crowd joins in.
Underwood also joined GNR during their encore for "Paradise City," reprising the setlist she and Rose performed together at Stagecoach.
Underwood herself could scarcely believe the moment.
"I am but a fan who somehow managed to find her way on stage to have a moment of magic with her heroes!" she writes, adding, "How did I get so lucky?"
Underwood has been in the U.K. promoting her new album, Denim & Rhinestones. She's set to launch her Denim & Rhinestones Tour on Oct. 15 in Greenville, S.C, and it runs through the spring of 2023. | https://catcountry1073.com/carrie-underwood-guns-n-roses-london-concert/ | 2022-07-06T10:10:41Z | https://catcountry1073.com/carrie-underwood-guns-n-roses-london-concert/ | false |

Richard Gere looks in good spirits as he meets the Dalai Lama at event celebrating the spiritual leader's 87th birthday in India
Richard Gere looked in good spirits as he met the Dalai Lama at an event to mark his 87th birthday in Dharmsala, India on Wednesday.
The actor, 72, was seen shaking hands with the Buddhist spiritual leader after he inaguarated a museum containing the archives of the institution of the Dalai Lama.
Richard cut a dapper figure for the event as he donned a black blazer and trousers along with a light blue shirt.

The film star also wore a bright red ribbon around his neck and sported a face mask as he spoke with other guests at the event.
Richard has long been interested in Buddhism and previously studded Zen Buddhism before travelling to India where he met many Tibetan monks and lamas.
He has met the Dalai Lama in the past and has previously referred to as 'his holiness'.
In an interview with Lion's Roar, Richard said of meeting him: 'That first meeting took place in Dharmsala in a room where I see him quite often now. I can't say that the feeling has changed drastically.

'I am still incredibly nervous and project all kinds of things on him, which he's used to at this point. He cuts through all that stuff very quickly, because his vows are so powerful, so all-encompassing, that he is very effective and skillful at getting to the point.
'Because the only reason anyone would want to see him is that they want to remove suffering from their consciousness.'
Several celebrities have met the Dalai Lama over the years including the likes of Lady Gaga, Sharon Stone and Eva Longoria.
Gaga met the spirtitual leader at an event in Indianopolis in 2016 where he spoke to US Mayors about kindness.
Meanwhile, Sharon Stone, Eva Longoria, Jeremy Renner and Lupita N'yongo met him at The Lourdes Foundation Leadership in the 21st Century event in Los Angeles in 2014.

(The Hill) – Media personality Joe Rogan said that he has passed on multiple opportunities to have former President Trump on his popular podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience.”
During an appearance on the “Lex Fridman Podcast” released on Monday, Rogan told host Lex Fridman that he wasn’t a supporter of the former president, adding that he refused to help him expand his platform.
“By the way, I’m not a Trump supporter in any way, shape or form. I’ve had the opportunity to have him on my show more than once — I’ve said no, every time. I don’t want to help him,” Rogan said on the podcast episode, according to Mediaite. “I’m not interested in helping him.”
Rogan also told Fridman that he believes the Trump era will “be one of the weirder times.”
“When people look back historically about the division in this country, he’s such a polarizing figure that so many people felt like they could abandon their own ethics and morals and principles just to attack him and anybody who supports him because he is an existential threat to democracy itself,” Rogan said.
This comes as the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol is holding a series of public hearings in which it is making the case that Trump was at the center of an effort to retain power that led directly to the attack.
In a surprise hearing last week, former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchison gave explosive testimony detailing several incidents involving Trump surrounding the Jan. 6 riot. In one incident she described, she said the president knew members of the crowd at his rally at the Ellipse that day were carrying weapons but pushed to do away with magnetometer screening because it was affecting his crowd size. Trump has denied those allegations.
Rogan also said he believes Trump will run for another term as president, saying that he’ll run against a “dead man,” referring to President Biden.
“Well, he’s running against a dead man, you know? I mean, (Joe) Biden, shakes hands with people that aren’t even there when he gets off stage,” Rogan told Fridman. “I think he’s seeing ghosts” | https://wgntv.com/news/nexstar-media-wire/joe-rogan-says-hes-passed-on-opportunities-to-have-trump-on-podcast/ | 2022-07-06T10:15:19Z | https://wgntv.com/news/nexstar-media-wire/joe-rogan-says-hes-passed-on-opportunities-to-have-trump-on-podcast/ | false |

Succession has earned an impressive 23 Emmy nominations for its first two seasons, taking home nine wins.
The count is set to expand when the Emmy nominations for this year are revealed next month.
In a statement, HBO's executive vice president of programming Francesca Orsi said last year of the season four renewal: 'With each season of Succession, Jesse Armstrong has continued to surpass our wildest expectations, pulling us deeper into the Roy family's inner sanctum with indelible wit, humanity, and precision.'
Adding: 'This season is undoubtedly no exception, and we couldn't be more excited for all that’s in store in this next season ahead.'
Season four comes off the huge success of season three, after HBO revealed last year that 1.4million viewers watched the season three's premiere across all platforms, which was a a new record for the show.
It was also the best premiere night performance for any HBO original series since the launch of HBO Max in May 2020.
The 1.4 million viewers marked a 21% increase over the Season two finale that aired in October 2019 and 13% over the Season 2 premiere in August 2019.
The Season three premiere was also up a whopping 39% over the series premiere episode that aired in June 2018.

All-rounder Moeen Ali has called time on his long association with Worcestershire after deciding to rejoin Warwickshire this summer.
The 35-year-old came through the Warwickshire ranks and made his first-class debut there in 2005 before joining the Pears the following year.
Ali has been with Worcestershire ever since, playing almost 350 games across all formats, scoring more than 13,000 runs and taking over 300 wickets.
The Birmingham-born all-rounder has won three trophies during that time, including the 2018 Vitality Blast title, and is now returning to Warwickshire.
Yorkshire had made a move for Ali but he has signed a three-year white-ball contract with his hometown team, who he is also available to play red-ball cricket for as part of a pay-as-you-play clause in the deal.
“I’m delighted to return home to Edgbaston,” Ali said. “I was born and raised just a few miles away from the stadium, with my life always centred around Birmingham.
“When the opportunity presented itself, it was a decision I couldn’t say no to and I believe I have unfinished business at the Bears.
“I’m incredibly excited to be back and to play in front of the best atmosphere in world cricket. It’s a place that has so much history and players always have memories and stories of playing here.
“I’m looking forward to contributing and be part of hopefully something special.”
On leaving Worcestershire, he added: “I’m sad to be leaving Worcestershire after so long and have loved every minute of it. I’ve played with some amazing people and owe a huge thanks to the club for bringing me here and giving me the platform to perform.”
Ali retired from Test cricket last September after winning 64 caps over seven years but has made it clear he would reverse that decision to play in England’s tour of Pakistan later this year.
This winter’s trip to Pakistan always seemed the most attractive option for the 35-year-old all-rounder, given his family’s links to the country and England’s likely need for additional spin bowling options. | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/sport/3464710/i-have-unfinished-business-moeen-ali-to-rejoin-warwickshire-after-pears-exit/ | 2022-07-06T10:15:44Z | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/sport/3464710/i-have-unfinished-business-moeen-ali-to-rejoin-warwickshire-after-pears-exit/ | false |
- Gold Price struggled to capitalize on its modest intraday bounce from the YTD low.
- The USD consolidated near a 20-year high and offered some support to the XAUUSD.
- The risk-on impulse, aggressive Fed rate hike bets capped the upside for the metal.
Gold Price staged a modest recovery from the $1,763 area, or a fresh YTD low touched earlier this Wednesday, though struggled to capitalize on the move. The XAUUSD surrendered its modest intraday gains and was last seen trading around the $1,766-$1,767 region, or nearly unchanged for the day.
Following the recent strong bullish run to a fresh two-decade high touched on Tuesday, the US dollar witnessed modest profit-taking amid some repositioning trade ahead of the FOMC meeting minutes. This, in turn, was seen as a key factor that offered some support to the dollar-denominated gold, though the uptick lacked bullish conviction and runs the risk of fizzling out rather quickly.
Fed Chair Jerome Powell reiterated last week that the US central bank is focused on getting inflation under control and added that the US economy is well-positioned to handle tighter policy. This lifted bets for more aggressive rate hikes by the Fed, which should act as a tailwind for the USD. Apart from this, the risk-on impulse kept a lid on any meaningful gains for the safe-haven gold.
Investors might also refrain from placing aggressive bets and prefer to wait for fresh clues about the Fed's policy tightening path. Hence, the FOMC minutes should provide some impetus to the non-yielding yellow metal. Apart from this, the US NPF report on Friday will influence the near-term USD price dynamics and help determine the next leg of a directional move for gold price.

S.Africans gather to mourn deaths of 21 teenagers in tavern tragedy
EAST LONDON, South Africa, July 6 (Reuters) - South African mourners gathered in the coastal city of East London on Wednesday to grieve the still-mysterious deaths of 21 teenagers in a poorly ventilated local tavern 10 days ago.
Dressed in black, they sung and danced to solemn gospel songs in front of 19 of the victims' coffins. All were empty, officials at the funeral parlour said, as police were still investigating the deaths.
The remaining two were buried separately by their families. Some mourners broke down and wept, while others hung their heads solemnly. President Cyril Ramaphosa was expected to attend.
The incident in a popular nightspot in Scenery Park township, outside the city of East London, at the end of last month, has provoked an outpouring of sorrow and much soul-searching in a nation accustomed to frequent injuries from a heavy-drinking culture.
The youngest victim was a 13-year-old girl.
"Focus not on the shame and embarrassment around this, but on the grief at the loss," the preacher, Bathandwa Kwatsha, urged during a prayer for the crying families. "God will comfort you," she said in the local Xhosa language.
Forensic teams investigating how the youths died have yet to reveal their conclusions. The most likely cause appears to be some kind of chemical or gas leak on the ground floor of the venue, which was packed and had little ventilation.
Another theory authorities have been investigating is that they were poisoned by something they ate, drank or smoked.
Some of the survivors admitted to hospital complained of chest pains. Others spoke of trying to leave in panic as people dropped dead around them, but being unable to find an exit.
Residents have protested outside the tavern, which they say they had been asking authorities to close. Its licence was revoked last week.

"Recent events have made it clear to me that our great party .. has become distracted from its core missions by a relentless focus on questions over leadership," he said in his resignation letter posted on Twitter.

Amazon faces UK probe over suspected anti-competitive practices
LONDON, July 6 (Reuters) - Britain's antitrust watchdog is investigating Amazon.com Inc on concerns it was hurting competition by giving its own sellers an unfair advantage over third-parties on the marketplace.
The move adds to the global regulatory scrutiny of the U.S. tech giant.
Britain's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said it opened an investigation on Tuesday into whether Amazon's practices affecting sellers on its domestic marketplace may be anti-competitive and could result in a worse deal for customers.
"It's right that we carefully investigate whether Amazon is using third-party data to give an unfair boost to its own retail business and whether it favours sellers who use its logistics and delivery services - both of which could weaken competition," Sarah Cardell, General Counsel at the CMA, said in a statement.
Millions of people across Britain use Amazon's services for fast delivery, the CMA said.
The investigation follows a current European Commission (EC) probe looking at similar concerns but which does not cover issues affecting Britain following Brexit, the CMA said, adding that it seek to liaise with the EC.
EU antitrust regulators in November 2020 charged Amazon with distorting competition in online retail markets and opened a second investigation into the company's business practices.
The Financial Times on Wednesday reported that Amazon will share more data with rivals and offer buyers a wider choice of products as part of a deal with the EU. (https://on.ft.com/3OIKYMe)
Amazon will give third-party sellers on its marketplace access to more information that could help sell more products online, the FT said.
The British regulator said its investigation would focus on three main areas, including how the Seattle-based company collects and uses third-party seller data and how it sets the eligibility criteria for selling under the Prime label.
Amazon.com did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment outside regular business hours.
Separately, Germany's antitrust watchdog on Wednesday subjected the e-commerce giant to stricter supervision rules, saying Amazon's position is of outstanding, cross-market importance for competition.

A Native American community neighboring the only operating uranium mill in the U.S. is hoping a new study will answer longstanding questions about whether it is affecting their health.
Members of the Ute Mountain Ute tribe living in White Mesa, Utah, say they have seen an alarming increase in health problems in recent years.
"I am aware that there have been increased levels of cancer," says Scott Clow, the tribe's environmental director. "We don't have any evidence tying that to the mill at this point, but we have our concerns."
The Environmental Protection Agency in June gave the approximately 2,000 member tribe a $75,000 grant to design a study that will be conducted with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Clow says. It will analyze tribal members' health data and environmental conditions to see if any links can be made to the Energy Fuels uranium mill. Results are expected in 2025.
"We just want to know everything we can know to help the tribe understand the situation, and what the hazards may or may not be," he says.
Energy Fuels' White Mesa facility is also a disposal site for radioactive waste, some of which has been imported from overseas.
The company has plans to expand uranium milling as concerns about climate change are increasing demand for carbon free energy, including nuclear.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine is driving demand for domestically produced fuel for U.S. nuclear plants, which have sourced nearly half of their fuel from Russia and former Soviet republics. In April Energy Fuels got a key permit from the state of Arizona to reopen an old uranium mine there.
The Ute Mountain Utes and their ancestors have called the region around the mill home for thousands of years. Bears Ears National Monument, a sacred site for the area's Indigenous people, is visible from the mill's property.
Longstanding tribal members oppose the production and storage of radioactive materials nearby
Michael Badback is a tribal member whose family has lived in the community of White Mesa, about five miles from the mill, for generations. But now they're increasingly worried they won't be able to preserve their way of life into the future.
"This is still virgin land, and we want it to remain that way," says Badback. "That's how our ancestors used to walk on this land. We want to walk on it like that and leave the legacy up to our grandchildren."
Badback and others are opposed to the production and storage of radioactive materials at the Energy Fuels site.
"We don't know the health issues that come along with this stuff," he says. "A lot of our people mysteriously started getting sick. Kids and other adults started to have asthma like they never had before."
Contaminants have been confirmed in the local groundwater. The Grand Canyon Trust, an advocacy group, says samples from the aquifer below the mill have concerning levels of acidity and chemicals like chloroform.
But definitively linking health conditions to environmental contamination is notoriously difficult. Energy Fuels says the contaminants in the aquifer are nothing to worry about.
"You will see very big fluctuations in naturally occurring elements," says company Vice President Curtis Moore. "That's what we're seeing right now."
According to Energy Fuels, the elements are not significant enough to pose a health risk. State regulators agree and have loosened rules, allowing Energy Fuels to store increasingly radioactive waste onsite, including waste imported from overseas.
"It's clearly not natural," counters the tribe's Clow. "Those are orders of magnitude higher than what we would find in there naturally."
Moore says the mill takes precautions. For example, radioactive waste is stored in specially-designed ponds called tailing cells. The cells have liners to prevent material from seeping into the ground.
Some also have leak-detection systems, but the older cells don't because they were built before the technology was standard. The Grand Canyon Trust says that means it's impossible to know if they're leaking or not.
The Ute Mountain Utes are also worried about air pollution.
The water in the tailing cells serves as a barrier that prevents radiation from escaping into the air. But in one 40-acre cell, radioactive material has been left above water for the last two years. The EPA says that's a violation of federal law.
The agency says the exposed cell could be emitting up to ten times more radiation than if it were under water, and requires that the mill's radioactive waste remain submerged at all times. In December, the agency told Energy Fuels it must fill the cell.
Moore says the company is working on it. But he also says filling the cell may take several months because there are limits on how much water at a time can be pumped from wells in the high desert area.
"At the end of the day, the Clean Air Act says that that thing should have liquid on it," Clow says.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Smithfield Foods will pay restaurants and caterers $42 million to settle a lawsuit that accused the giant meat producer of conspiring to inflate pork prices, which will likely only add to concerns about how the lack of competition in the industry affects meat prices.
Lawyers began notifying companies affected by this latest settlement Tuesday. Previously, Smithfield settled with a different group of pork buyers for $83 million, and JBS agreed to pay the restaurants and caterers $12.75 million in the pork lawsuit. Earlier this year, JBS also said it would pay $52.5 million to settle a similar beef price-fixing lawsuit. Neither Smithfield nor JBS admitted any wrongdoing as part of those settlements, and officials at Smithfield’s headquarters in Virginia declined to comment on the details of the deal.
Additional price-fixing lawsuits have also been filed against chicken producers. Nearly $200 million of settlements have been approved in those chicken cases.
The restaurant companies that sued accused the meat processors that control more than 70% of pork production of coordinating efforts to limit the supply of hogs and inflate prices between 2009 and this year.
The lawsuit remains pending against other major pork producers, including Hormel, Tyson Foods, Seaboard Foods and Triumph Foods, and the Agri Stats database company they allegedly used to share confidential information about price, capacity and demand.
The lawsuit says that the private information in those reports allowed competitors to compare their profits and helped them control the supply and price of pork.
The meat industry argues that supply and demand factors drive prices, not anticompetitive behavior, but the industry’s practices have been questioned by the White House, several prominent members of Congress and trade groups.
The Biden administration has announced several efforts to boost competition in the industry to help reduce food prices including a $1 billion plan to help independent slaughterhouses expand.
The U.S. Departments of Justice and Agriculture also created a website earlier this year to make it easier for farmers and ranchers to report any concerns about anticompetitive behavior in the industry.
A Minnesota federal judge is scheduled to hold a hearing in October to consider whether to approve the Smithfield settlement, but he already gave it preliminary approval in April.
“We look forward to moving for final approval of our settlement with Smithfield and continuing to litigate with the remaining defendants,” one of the plaintiffs’ attorneys, Blaine Finley, said. | https://cw33.com/business/ap-business/smithfield-foods-settles-pork-price-fixing-lawsuit-for-42m/ | 2022-07-06T10:33:23Z | https://cw33.com/business/ap-business/smithfield-foods-settles-pork-price-fixing-lawsuit-for-42m/ | true |
PARIS (AP) — French authorities on Tuesday repatriated 51 women and children from the former Islamic State group-controlled areas in Syria, according to a statement from the national counterterrorism prosecutor’s office.
It’s the single largest return of women and children to France from camps in northeastern Syria since the territorial defeat of IS in March 2019. France saw more of its citizens leave to join the group than any other country in Europe.
Tuesday’s group was made up of 16 women, ages 22 to 39, and 35 minors, seven of whom are coming to France unaccompanied by adults. All but two of the women in the group are French citizens. Twelve women returned with their children and four of the women had previously agreed to the return of their children, according to the prosecutor’s statement.
Eight women were taken into custody for questioning and the other eight were detained on arrest warrants. The children were placed in the care of the child protective services attached to the Versailles Judicial Court.
One of the 35 minors is in police custody on suspicion of participating in activities of a terrorist criminal enterprise, according to the prosecutor’s statement. The minor will shortly turn 18, the statement said.
Many European countries were slow to allow the return of women and children for fear they would violently turn on their homelands. France, which saw more of its citizens join IS in Syria than any other European country and suffered multiple deadly attacks beginning in 2015, has been especially reluctant.
French authorities have insisted that adults, men and women, who fought with IS should be prosecuted in the country where they had committed crimes. Authorities also insisted on bringing back citizens and their children on a case-by-case basis, a long and cumbersome procedure that has been repeatedly criticized by human rights groups.
In December, a 28-year-old Frenchwoman with diabetes died in the Roj camp in Syria, leaving her 6-year-old daughter an orphan, according to the family’s lawyer, who had been requesting their return since 2019.
The orphaned girl was in the group of children repatriated on Tuesday, according to a statement by the United Families Collective, a group of families that has been campaigning for repatriations of women and children detained in the Kurdish-controlled camps of Syria and Iraq.
The United Families Collective hailed the government’s repatriation effort and urged the French authorities to continue bringing home children and mothers trapped in “inhumane” and “degrading” living conditions at the detention camps.
The collective said there were still 150 French children and their mothers trapped in the Roj camp.
“France must repatriate (them) as soon as possible (…) and close this shameful chapter in our history without delay,” the group’s statement said. | https://cw33.com/news/international/ap-international/france-brings-51-citizens-home-from-is-camps-in-syria/ | 2022-07-06T10:35:09Z | https://cw33.com/news/international/ap-international/france-brings-51-citizens-home-from-is-camps-in-syria/ | false |

The staff, board of directors, and Capital Funds Campaign Committee for the Hood River Valley Adult Center recently announced that Business Oregon has awarded $987,299 from the Oregon Community Block Grant program for replacement of the aging kitchen at the center.
These funds will be combined with $325,809.75 in community donations received during Phase One of the Capital Funds Campaign and will allow for complete reconstruction of the proposed $1.2 million kitchen at the center. Construction of the kitchen is Phase Two of the overall plan to upgrade the center, and will begin as soon as possible.
Meals for the center’s Meals on Wheels program are prepared in this kitchen, as well as congregate meals that are served at noon, Monday through Friday in the Kathleen Room. All are invited to enjoy a nutritious lunch for a suggested $5 donation per meal for seniors 60 and older and $5 per meal for anyone under 60. This kitchen reconstruction will allow for future expansion of these programs to accommodate the growing need in our community.
Additionally, the kitchen and meeting rooms at the center are available for commercial use, fundraising events, meetings and celebrations. Visit www.hrvac.org for room rental details and a rental application.
Phase Three of the Capital Funds Campaign is fundraising for expanded office space, and will begin soon. When the center was built in 1994, funds were not available to finish off the second floor space, but an elevator shaft was included in preparation for this expansion. Phase Four plans are to install an elevator and create office space for other programs that support aging individuals. This will make the center a one stop resource for those in need of these services.
Meeting the Phase One fundraising goal for the center has been made possible by contributions from hundreds of local citizens, Hood River County, Business Oregon, services of Collective Impact Health Specialist, Paul Lindberg, supported by Providence Hood River Memorial Hospital, guidance of Mid-Columbia Economic Development District, and the dedicated efforts of Hood River Valley Adult Center staff, Board of Directors and Capital Funds Campaign Committee member.
Tax deductible donations to the Hood River Valley Adult Center Meals on Wheels program and/or Phase Three of the Capital Funds Campaign are welcomed and appreciated.

Top pool noodles for playing and exercising in the water
Pool noodles are great for keeping you afloat while enjoying time in the pool. They are long, relatively slim flotation devices you can sit or lie on while playing, exercising or sunbathing in the water. Pool noodles range in size, shape and design, so there is a noodle suitable for everyone’s style. It’s helpful to understand the options before selecting the right noodle for your needs.
How to choose the best pool noodles
Each element of a pool noodle determines how well it will work for your pool habits. If you’re shopping for noodles for children, you’ll want to stick to shorter noodles with smaller diameters that are easier for kids to grip. On the other hand, solid noodles with soft covers or textures add comfort and support for adults practicing water aerobics.
Type
Pool noodles are available in three categories: foam, vinyl-coated and inflatable. Each type has its pros and cons.
- Foam: Foam noodles are the classic choice, and they’re often the most affordable. They come in hollow and solid-core designs, both reliable flotation devices. The foam quality often determines the price, with higher quality foam resisting sun damage and shredding.
- Vinyl-covered: These foam noodles feature the same interior as plain foam noodles but have a slick vinyl coating on the outside, protecting the foam underneath from damage. Some vinyl coatings also offer UV protection to prevent colors from fading in the sun. They are usually more expensive and wider than plain foam noodles.
- Inflatable: These lightweight noodles are easy to take anywhere and inflate before use. They can come in a wide variety of colors and patterns. Since they’re inflatable, you’ll want to be careful not to puncture them and mind the seams.
Size
Both the length and diameter determine how comfortable a noodle is to use, how many people can fit on one at a time and how easy it is to carry. Pool noodles can measure between 46 inches and 60 inches long, with some exceptions for extra long ones. Foam noodles usually measure between 2.5 inches and 4 inches wide. Vinyl and inflatable noodles can measure up to 6 inches in diameter.
Texture
Some noodles feature additional texturing on the outside to help swimmers find their grip and hang onto the noodle while in the water. Texture also helps diffuse pressure from your body, which is helpful if you stay floating on the noodle for long periods.
Hollow vs. solid core
Hollow-core noodles have a cutout hole through the center. They are often less expensive but offer less buoyancy, making them ideal for children rather than adults. Noodles with a solid core are more buoyant and safe for all ages.
Design
Choosing a color or pattern that suits your personality is a fun way to personalize your time in the pool. Noodles often come in bright colors and patterns that also help family and friends keep an eye on swimmers from the poolside.
Some noodles come in curved designs rather than the classic straight pasta-like noodle shape. Curved noodles can be easier to sit on in the water and hold the swimmer more steady. Noodles can also have animal shapes such as a sea horse or unicorn, adding even more fun to the pool party.

HOOD RIVER — For the past three months, Protect Our Parks (POP) Hood River volunteers have worked with Hood River Valley Parks and Rec District employees in Morrison Park to reduce wildfire danger to nearby neighborhoods and restore the park.
The team, sometimes numbering close to 20 people, works alongside Matt Jordan, maintenance supervisor for the Hood River Valley Parks and Recreation District (HRVPRD). HRVPRD provides the power tools, while the volunteers provide sweat equity and muscle. The current goal is to turn dangerous debris into beneficial mulch.
POP volunteers, park neighbors, and disc golfers have spent hours cutting and hauling hundreds of pounds of downed tree limbs left by illegal campers and heavy snowfalls to a large “chip pile.” On June 17, Squad Leader Craig Opp, along with crewmembers Ramiro Avila and Jackson Nakae from the Mount Adams Resource Stewards, transformed that pile from wildfire fuel into mulch. This “chipping event” occurred thanks to multiple groups working to reduce wildfire risk while improving the park’s disc golf course and removing invasive plants.
The large chipper that transformed the pile was available thanks to efforts by several local conservation groups along with Matt Jordan and Mark Hickok of the HRVPRD.
Andrew Spaeth from the Hood River Forest Collaborative explained that “Hood River Soil and Water Conservation District and the Hood River Forest Collaborative were recently awarded a grant from Oregon Department of Environmental Quality to provide a free service to landowners interested in chipping branches, small trees, and other woody debris on their property.”
On June 21, volunteers began spreading the chipped wood as mulch under disc golf baskets, picnic tables, on paths, and along tree roots to reduce erosion and conserve moisture.
Ongoing work at the park also continues with a focus on highly flammable Scotch Broom. Oregon State University has described that plant as “... one of the most flammable plants there is ... an enormous threat to our community’s fire safety.” Removing that plant will improve wildfire risk at the park.
Other park work completed by volunteers and Park District personnel in recent weeks includes clearing a walking path along the stream to Jaymar Street, cutting back poison oak, and removing English ivy from Oregon white oak trees.
POP is grateful for the donations of time, material, and funds from the community. The POP Hood River team also appreciates HRVPRD Director Hickok’s support. Hickok has recognized the importance of volunteer work, agreeing that “the park is looking great!”
If you haven’t visited recently, drop by for a walk or join in the ongoing clean-up work. Volunteers are still needed and welcome.
For information, email protectourparkshoodriver@gmail.com. Or on clear Tuesday mornings, meet at 9 a.m. at 20th and Wasco to join a work party. Bring gloves, hand clippers (if you have them), and dress appropriately. | https://www.columbiagorgenews.com/hoodriver/morrison-park-work-continues/article_2bcbc6a4-fbe5-11ec-90f0-cf6a4022b82d.html | 2022-07-06T10:40:58Z | https://www.columbiagorgenews.com/hoodriver/morrison-park-work-continues/article_2bcbc6a4-fbe5-11ec-90f0-cf6a4022b82d.html | false |

WASHINGTON — Less than a week after a $366.7 million Powerball jackpot was claimed, Mega Millions players were hoping to score a similar amount with a $370 million jackpot on the line for the July 5 drawing -- but with no winner, the sum has grown to $400 million.
While no one woke up $370 million richer, two people in California matched five and won $1 million each.
The Mega Millions jackpot is the second-largest this year. A winner can either take the full $400 million prize in installments or a $231.7 million lump sum payout. In a news release, Mega Millions said this is the third largest jackpot it's ever offered in the month of July.
The winning numbers Tuesday were 27 - 31 - 50 - 51 - 61 with a Mega Ball of 21 and a Megaplier of 4x.
The jackpot was last won at $20 million on April 15. Mega Millions said since then, 21 tickets have been worth $1 million or more. Those tickets were sold in Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and Virginia.
While the prize money is certainly life-changing, it's far from breaking lottery records and it isn't the largest of the year. Back in January, a California woman was the sole winner of a $426 million Mega Millions jackpot. Last year, a Mega Millions jackpot cracked the $1 billion mark for just the second time. A four-member suburban Detroit lottery club won that $1.05 billion jackpot and chose the lump sump, receiving $557 million after taxes.
During Friday's drawing last week, there weren't any huge winners. But for lucky people in three states, close was good enough.
Three tickets sold in Arkansas, Georgia and Pennsylvania matched five, winning $1 million each.
And last week, a winning Powerball ticket was sold at a Jolley Short Stop convenience store, winning one person in Vermont a cool $366.7 million. It was the first time in Powerball history that a jackpot-winning ticket had been sold in the state. That winner has yet to come forward to claim their prize.
Mega Millions is played in 45 states as well as Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. | https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/nation-world/mega-millions-jackpot/507-6515b6b1-6a9e-463d-a6fa-009c67184b80 | 2022-07-06T10:41:25Z | https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/nation-world/mega-millions-jackpot/507-6515b6b1-6a9e-463d-a6fa-009c67184b80 | true |

ATLANTA — Travelers are returning to airports nationwide in pre-pandemic records this Fourth of July weekend, but many continue to face thousands of flight delays and cancellations -- and that likely won't change through the summer.
From damaged luggage to being stuck on tarmacs, travelers said the holiday weekend has been challenging especially when traveling through Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.
“Things get broken and that sucks, but when you lose someone’s day chair and race chair – you’re taking away their entire life in a second," said wheelchair athlete, Julia Beckley.
The Colorado native was just one of several wheelchair athletes that traveled to Atlanta to participate in the AJC Peachtree Road Race this year.
"It’s not a small thing when someone is negligent with our chairs," added Beckley.
Beckley said she considers herself lucky that her wheelchair only suffered minor damage during travel and wasn't lost like others including Paralympian Hannah Babalola, whose chair was never placed on her flight causing her to bow out of the race.
Book author Arnold Thompson said he has to fly a lot for work and got stuck on the tarmac delaying his flight by more than 12 hours.
"When you sit on a plane for hours with a group of people and some have babies crying non-stop – it’s tough," Thompson said.
Mom to two young children, Judith Lesser said all of the delays and cancellations have her family planning ahead which includes showing up at the airport several hours in advance as they try to get back home to New York City.
“A lot of people are just more stressed and worried," she said. "Our flight coming out here was just an hour delayed and I think everyone was just bracing for it to be canceled."
TSA has screened more than two million passengers nationwide each day over the holiday weekend.
Staffing and pilot shortages have led some airlines to cut flights for the summer season including Atlanta-based Delta who announced they will be cutting 100 flights a day until August. | https://www.fox43.com/article/travel/fourth-of-july-travel-struggles-atlanta-airport/85-bceb640f-2a0f-4f97-b436-5deb1e0e0883 | 2022-07-06T10:42:33Z | https://www.fox43.com/article/travel/fourth-of-july-travel-struggles-atlanta-airport/85-bceb640f-2a0f-4f97-b436-5deb1e0e0883 | false |

Updated July 5, 11:05 a.m. ET
I didn't see the thin plastic thread running between one leaf on my pineapple and its tag when I put the pineapple in my shopping cart, when I checked out or when I unpacked groceries at home. It wasn't until I chopped off the top and tug on the tag that it hit me.
I'd broken the rules again.
That damn plastic tag tie joins the long list of mistakes I made in just one week of trying to eat plastic-free.
I had challenged myself to purchase a week's worth of food without bringing home any plastic in my grocery bag. That meant no jugs of juice, yogurt containers, plastic chip bags, plastic packages or even stickers on some produce.
Why did I do this? Because very few of the plastic packages and containers we use once get recycled. Because there's growing concern about the harmful health effects. Some research suggests that ingesting microplastics could disrupt hormone production or be associated with problems like asthma and learning disorders.
Though scientists have not confirmed the link, I just don't love the idea that I may consume a credit card's worth of plastic in a week.
I chose a budget of $115.00 (roughly half-way between the average weekly grocery bill for a family of two in Massachusetts and the food stamp allotment for that same household). On a Saturday afternoon, I pulled into the parking lot of my local chain grocery store feeling reasonably plastic-aware, not ready for the butt-kicking I was about to get.
The experiment
I started in the produce section, where I typically grab a plastic bag of organic baby carrots. They're off limits, as is pretty much every vegetable in the organic section. I found some beautifully bunched carrots among the non-organic produce. Then I saw the plastic tags hanging off their rubber bands. I spotted a dozen loose ones down by the produce shelf drain and scooped them up, sans bag.
I rolled my cart past the cauliflower, green beans, asparagus, lettuces and grapes, all glinting inside their plastic. I weighed loose beets, apples, onions and sweet potatoes. My anxiety kicked in — that feeling that I wouldn't have enough. So, I bought a head of cabbage.
I tapped prices into the calculator on my phone. Leaving the produce section, I was in good shape, at $31.30. It was time to search for protein.
I don't eat meat. But I headed to the meat counter to shop for one of my sons. Everything prepackaged was in plastic, but the man behind the glass kindly agreed to wrap two hamburger patties and some chicken, separately, in butcher paper. Together they were $21.62.
Tofu, cheese, yogurt and pretty much everything in the dairy section was out. Even the bottled milk had a plastic cap. There were lots of eggs in those paper pulp cartons. Whew.
To avoid eating eggs every meal, I got some cans of beans and rice in a box. I wanted pasta, but the box had a cellophane window. (While cellophane is not technically plastic, as it's not derived from petroleum, I was still trying to avoid it because it's non-recyclable.) I chose a brand of spaghetti with the smallest window (1"x1"), telling myself that eating a lot of cabbage would earn me the right to this violation.
If I was going to consume a lot of cabbage, I'd need some oil or salad dressing. The search for plastic-free oil and vinegar took me into the "house of mirrors" stage of my plastic-free odyssey.
There were lots of options in glass bottles. After careful tapping, I found some with metal lids. But the bottles with metal lids all had a plastic seal, except for one brand of sesame oil and another of red wine vinegar. The vinegar label was peeling away at one corner. And that made me wonder: what are jar labels made of? You probably guessed: many are plastic. The sesame oil and rice wine vinegar went back on the shelf, as did jars of marinara, salsa and juice.
I can live without salsa and juice for a week. But I certainly did not volunteer to go a week without chocolate. I spent a lot of time in the candy aisle before finding some bars wrapped in foil, packaged in a box.
At checkout, I added the labels on paper-wrapped beef and chicken to my list of shame (I realized they are plastic). Then when the cashier scanned the barcode on bell peppers, I chalked up another defeat. They each had little plastic stickers with barcodes. I bought them anyway. I was hungry, discouraged and ready to move on.
I still had $21.96. Maybe I could find a bulk store — with bins of nuts or vats of oil that I can pour into non-plastic containers – to replace some of the items I had to put back.
To the bulk stores
At home, I scanned some zero-waste sites and made a few calls. Several stores had bulk oil and vinegar, but I'd have to buy their bottle with a plastic lid and label, use up the contents and bring it back in for a refill. Pemberton Farms, in Cambridge, said I could bring in my own mason jars. They had bread wrapped in paper and bulk items like cereal and nuts in bins, the latter of which put me $1.23 over budget — but was worth every almond.
While I'm out of money, I might want to do this again, so I had some questions for general manager Greg Saidnawey. Pemberton Farms is known as a zero-waste shopping destination, but there are still many things I couldn't buy here plastic-free. There was no dairy, juice, peanut butter or tahini options without plastic.
Saidnawey says he used to have more than 300 foods and spices in bulk. That shrank to about 100 items during the pandemic. And Saidnawey says he doesn't expect to add more bulk shopping options anytime soon.
"There was so much forward momentum in zero waste, especially in the Boston area, before COVID," Saidnawey says. But during the pandemic, "customers just wanted peace of mind. They didn't want a broken seal; they didn't want anything that had already been touched by anybody else, and I think we've just gone in reverse in a lot of ways."
The CDC says the risk of getting COVID-19 after touching a contaminated surface is low, but Saidnawey says his plastic suppliers report they've never been busier. There's another factor that may be ramping up use of plastic in food packaging. Plastics are made with fossil fuels. That industry is looking for new outlets in the shift to electric vehicles.
Saidnawey says he's interested in using more compostable containers, but they are 30-40% more expensive. It's hard to add that cost to the rising price of food. And compostable boxes for nuts, beans or snacks (a lot of what Pemberton Farms offers in bulk) aren't as attractive on shelves as plastic.
"I want to find a package that isn't going to wind up in the oceans or a landfill forever," Saidnawey says, but "customers shop with their eyes."
My takeaways
My week of plastic-free eating produced some pretty boring meals. I wasn't prepared. I didn't realize how many things would be off limits. There are some zero-waste cookbooks, but I didn't look at them before I went shopping. And I didn't budget for herbs or spices, things that might have made life a little more exciting.
To reduce my plastic use moving forward, I'm going to have to make more things from scratch, like hummus, marinara, salsa, maybe even yogurt. I'm switching brands of juice so I can buy OJ and lemonade in reusable glass bottles. I'll have to drive around a bit to explore more bulk food options, and I may need to spend a little more on things like cheese wrapped in paper. I've got to beef up my supply of refillable jars and maybe invest in some of those reusable food container bags and that beeswax cling wrap alternative.
I asked Star Market, where I shopped this week, what they're doing to reduce plastic food packaging. Star is owned by Albertsons, one of the largest food retailers in the U.S. They pointed me to a web page about the company's plans to reduce plastic waste, which might mean using less plastic packaging. And Costco, where I shop a few times a year, says it's currently reviewing packaging of all products to reduce plastic use.
Maybe we can slow some of the projected growth in plastic we use once and throw away, and major oil, gas and petrochemical corporations that make most of our plastic will shift to more renewable products. In the meantime, I aim to up my game. I avoided using 27 plastic containers and packages in one week; I can do better.

Impromptu ice cream social held last month
The ice cream truck operated by Bruster’s Ice Cream in Hopewell Township has been visiting events such as graduation parties and sporting events, giving folks the chance to enjoy a cool summertime treat.
“Everybody is so happy all the time whenever an ice cream truck comes up,” said crew leader Meghan Parrish.
Pittsburgh’s Action News 4 was there in June when the truck arrived for an impromptu ice cream social in the township.
“It's just a wonderful way to get our neighborhood out and really make things a little special for the kids,” said neighbor Bethany Pistorius.
WTAE-TV is covering several stories about the way ice cream brings Pittsburghers together.

KRAMATORSK, Ukraine — Russian shelling killed at least seven people in Ukraine over the past 24 hours and wounded 25 more, Ukrainian officials said Wednesday.
Gov. Pavlo Kyrylenko said in a Telegram post that two people died in the city of Avdiivka, which is located in the center of the province, and the Donetsk cities of Sloviansk, Krasnohorivka and Kurakhove each reported one civilian killed.
“Every crime will be punished,” he wrote.
Kyrylenko urged the province’s more than 350,000 remaining residents to flee late Tuesday, saying that evacuating Donetsk was necessary to save lives and allow the Ukrainian army to put up a better defense against the Russian advance.
Donetsk is part of the Donbas, a mostly Russian-speaking industrial area where Ukraine’s most experienced soldiers are concentrated. Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday declared the complete seizure of the region’s other province, Luhansk, after Ukrainian troops withdrew from the last city under their country.
Luhansk Gov. Serhiy Haidai denied Wednesday that the Russians had completely captured the province. Heavy fighting continued in villages around Lysychansk, the city Ukrainians soldiers withdrew from and which Russian troops took on Sunday, he said.
“The Russians have paid a high price, but the Luhansk region is not fully captured by the Russian army,” Haidai said. “Some settlements have been overrun by each side several times already.”
He accused Russian forces of scorched earth tactics, “burning down and destroying everything on their way.”
Up to 15,000 residents remain in Lysychansk and some 8,000 in the nearby city of Sievierodonetsk, which Russian and separatist fighters seized last month, Haidai said.
Pro-Russian separatists have fought Ukrainian forces and controlled much of the Donbas for eight years. Before Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, Putin recognized the independence of the two self-proclaimed separatist republics in the region.
Since Russian forces failed to make inroads in capturing Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital, Moscow has concentrated its offensive on seizing the remaining Ukrainian-held areas of the Donbas.
To the north of Donetsk, Russian forces also hit Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, with missile strikes overnight, the Kharkiv regional governor said Wednesday on Telegram.
Three districts of the city were targeted, Gov. Oleh Syniehubov said. Three people, including a toddler, sustained injuries, according to the governor.
A missile struck a building where military registration takes place. A government building next door remained intact, and people just steps away glanced at the wreckage in passing.
Closer to the front line and in a more abandoned district of the city, first responders crunched through the debris of another overnight attack at the national teaching university in Kharkiv. Pages of dusty textbooks flapped in the breeze.
The attacks indicated the city, which is located close to the Russian border, is unlikely to get a reprieve as the war grinds on into its fifth month.
In other developments:
— European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the 27-nation European Union needs to make emergency plans to prepare for a complete cut-off of Russian gas in the wake of the Kremlin’s war in Ukraine. The EU has already imposed sanctions on Russia, including on some energy supplies, and is trying to find other sources. But von der Leyen said the bloc needed to be ready for shock disruptions coming from Moscow.

In a press release dated June 8, 2022, the Company announced that Ambler Metals LLC ("Ambler Metals"), the joint venture company owned 50/50 by Trilogy and South32 had commenced mobilization for the summer 2022 field program at the UKMP. The drill program will be helicopter-supported and will be based out of Ambler Metals' expanded 90-person camp at Bornite. The previously announced $28.5 million fiscal 2022 budget was updated to approximately $26.2 million. The field season is entirely funded by Ambler Metals and consists of a minimum 10,000 meters of diamond drilling with additional meters contingent on drill performance, weather and approval of supplementary budgets. The field season program prioritizes advancing the Arctic Project with additional infill drilling to further improve the confidence in the resource and the completion of a geotechnical study to further de-risk the project.

For the comparable period in 2021, the Company reported a net loss of $3.4 million (or $0.02 basic and diluted loss per common share). This difference is primarily due to a $0.8 million increase in the Company's equity pick-up of Ambler Metals' comprehensive loss in the current period. The current quarter includes pre-development costs for the Ambler Access Project for which there are no prior year comparatives. This increase in the equity pick-up is offset by reductions in general and administrative expenses, investor relations and professional fees due to management implemented cost savings strategies during the quarter. The combined total of salaries and stock-based compensation is consistent between the current period quarter and the comparative period.
For the six-month period ended May 31, 2022, Trilogy reported a net a loss of $9.1 million (or $0.06 basic and diluted loss per common share). For the comparable period in 2021, the Company reported a net loss of $7.9 million (or $0.05 basic and diluted loss per common share). The difference for the six-month period ended May 31, 2022, when compared to the same period in 2021, is primarily due to a $1.6 million increase in the Company's equity pick up of Ambler Metals comprehensive loss for the six-month period ending May 31, 2022. The current period includes pre-development costs for the Ambler Access Project for which there are no prior year comparatives as well as higher engineering and project related salaries and wages versus the comparative period.
Other variances noted for the comparative six-month period ended May 31, 2022 consist of: i) a decrease of $0.13 million in investor relations activities; ii) a decrease of $0.2 million in salaries as the executive team agreed to receive a portion of their salary in Restricted Share Units; and iii) a decrease of $0.1 million in stock-based compensation, driven by a $0.3 million decrease in the fair value amortization of awards granted during the period (due to a 0.7 million units reduction of overall stock-based awards granted versus the comparative period), and offset by $0.2 million increase from executives and directors taking equity in lieu of cash compensation.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Trilogy expended $2.9 million on operating activities during the six months ended May 31, 2022 with the majority of cash spent on corporate salaries, annual insurance renewal, annual fees paid to the Toronto Stock Exchange and the NYSE American Exchange and professional fees related to the Company's annual regulatory filings with the American and Canadian securities commissions.
At May 31, 2022, Trilogy had $3.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and working capital of $3.4 million. The Company continues to manage its cash expenditures through its working capital. Management continues to review the fiscal 2022 budget for cash preservation opportunities and has reduced cash expenditures where feasible, including but not limited to, reductions in marketing and investor conferences and office expenses. In addition, the Company's Board of Directors have agreed to take all of their fees in shares of the Company in an effort to preserve cash and increase share ownership. The Company's senior management team are also taking a portion of their base salaries in shares of the Company to preserve cash. Management believes that the combination of these cost reduction efforts results in sufficient cash to fund the Company's operations for the next twelve months.
All project related costs are funded by the joint venture. Amber Metals is well funded to advance the UKMP with $52.8 million in cash and $53.5 million loan receivable from South32 as at May 31, 2022. Subsequent to the quarter end, South32 repaid the full balance of the loan, consisting of $53.1 million principal and $0.5 million interest, resulting in Ambler Metals having over $100 million in cash. There are sufficient funds at the joint venture to fund the updated budgets for the UKMP of $26.2 million and the Ambler Access Project of $15.4 million for fiscal 2022. Trilogy does not anticipate having to fund the activities of Ambler Metals until the current cash balance of approximately $100 million is expended.
Qualified Persons
Richard Gosse, P.Geo., Vice President Exploration for Trilogy Metals Inc., is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Gosse has reviewed the technical information in this news release and approves the disclosure contained herein.
Trilogy Metals Inc. is a metals exploration and development company which holds a 50 percent interest in Ambler Metals LLC, which has a 100 percent interest in the UKMP in northwestern Alaska. On December 19, 2019, South32, a globally diversified mining and metals company, exercised its option to form a 50/50 joint venture with Trilogy. The UKMP is located within the Ambler Mining District which is one of the richest and most-prospective known copper-dominant districts in the world. It hosts world-class polymetallic volcanogenic massive sulphide ("VMS") deposits that contain copper, zinc, lead, gold and silver, and carbonate replacement deposits which have been found to host high-grade copper and cobalt mineralization. Exploration efforts have been focused on two deposits in the Ambler mining district - the Arctic VMS deposit and the Bornite carbonate replacement deposit. Both deposits are located within a land package that spans approximately 181,387 hectares. Ambler Metals has an agreement with NANA Regional Corporation, Inc., an Alaska Native Corporation that provides a framework for the exploration and potential development of the Ambler Mining District in cooperation with local communities. Trilogy's vision is to develop the Ambler Mining District into a premier North American copper producer.

A wine produced by Two-EE’s Winery recently took home a bronze medal at the 2022 TEXSOM Awards, an international competition.
Two-EE’s 2020 Touriga Nacional, a dry red wine, claimed the award. This was Two-EE’s Winery’s first year participating in the esteemed competition, and there were more than 2,000 entries from across the world.
“It’s an honor for our wines to be recognized by the highly credentialed judges of TEXSOM,” says Eric Harris, Two-EE’s Winery owner and director of winemaking, in a statement. “When my wife Emily and I opened our winery in 2013, we wanted to make wines of exceptional quality from unique grapes sourced from where they grow best. This award validates our goal and the caliber of wines an Indiana winery can make.”
According to the TEXSOM website, “judges are experts in the fields of wine and spirit tasting and evaluation, including Master Sommeliers, Masters of Wine, Certified Wine Educators, enologists, wine and spirits writers, professors, beverage directors and sommeliers, buyers for on-and-off-premise retailers, and other influencers within the wine and beverage industries.”
While better known for producing quality semi-sweet wines, like their bestselling concord wine, Plonqé, Two-EE’s Winery has steadily developed a portfolio of dry wine made with grapes grown in California, Oregon and Washington.
The winery recently launched a barrel-select wine club focused entirely on dry wine.
“Over time, our winemaking team has worked to build a wine portfolio that can satisfy a variety of tastes,” Harris says in the statement. “We’re proud to offer exceptional dry varietal wines alongside more popular semi-sweet and fruit wines. There is something for every palate at Two-EE’s.”
The award-winning wine was recently released to the public for wine tasting and can be purchased at Two-EE’s Winery.
Rally for Racks
The New Haven business community is rallying around Rack and Helen’s after a fire damaged the business.
The owners of Daily Dose and Ravenswolf Emporium Metaphysical Shoppe are teaming up to organize a benefit. From 5 to 10 p.m. July 29, Rally for Racks will offer friends, family and the community a way to support not just the restaurant, but its employees.
One of the biggest concerns for the Rack and Helen’s owners has been the employees, who are out of work while the restaurant is repaired.
The rally will feature food, a bar, vendors, band, activities, a silent auction and more. All of the vendor fees and silent auction proceeds will go to the restaurant. In addition, a raffle will help the restaurant support its employees until it is able to reopen.
“The Andersons have always been huge supporters in the community and they deserve our help now more than ever!” Nicole Moore and Megan Younker say in an email.
If interested in being a vendor or performer or bringing a food truck, call Moore at 494-4223. To donate to the silent action, call Megan at 245-0120.

The TinCaps are set to continue their 12-game homestand with a rare noon game Wednesday against the Lake County Captains.
That schedule is in some danger after the heavy rain that blew through Fort Wayne late Tuesday night. The storm (and the wind that came with it) blew the tarp at Parkview Field off off the infield and into shallow right field, exposing the infield dirt to the elements, as seen here:
Got this picture of Parkview Field tonight from the @TinCaps and @minorleaguenutt after the storm and high winds blew the tarp off the infield even after the crew had fastened it down. Great field drainage will really be tested in front of 1st noon game in quite a while tomorrow pic.twitter.com/jA1wUoBQK6
— Dean Pantazi (@DeanPWPTA21) July 6, 2022
The Journal Gazette visited the park around 11:30 p.m. and the tarp was still in the same position, with substantial puddles dotting the infield. Several trash cans at the park were also blown over.
Parkview Field drains very well and games have been played on shorter notice despite puddles during this reporter's tenure covering the team, but the grounds crew will have its hands full to get the field ready for a noon first pitch. The good news is the game could theoretically be pushed back into the later afternoon or evening if need be. | https://www.journalgazette.net/sports/professional/tincaps/full-count/tarp-blows-off-at-parkview-field/article_400e5084-fce2-11ec-94a9-3b94638ec02e.html | 2022-07-06T11:03:36Z | https://www.journalgazette.net/sports/professional/tincaps/full-count/tarp-blows-off-at-parkview-field/article_400e5084-fce2-11ec-94a9-3b94638ec02e.html | false |

Meta sues Chinese firm for scraping data from FB, Instagram
Meta has sued Octopus, a US subsidiary of a Chinese high-tech enterprise, and a Turkish individual for scraping data from Facebook, Instagram and other big tech platforms.
Meta has sued Octopus, a US subsidiary of a Chinese high-tech enterprise, and a Turkish individual for scraping data from Facebook, Instagram and other big tech platforms.
Octopus claims to have over one million customers and offers scraping services and access to software that customers can use to scrape any website.
For a fee, Octopus customers can launch scraping attacks from its cloud-based platform or hire Octopus to scrape websites directly.
"Octopus offers to scrape data from Amazon, eBay, Twitter, Yelp, Google, Target, Walmart, Indeed, LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram," Meta said in a statement late on Tuesday.
Octopus designed the software to scrape data accessible to the user when logged into their accounts.
It included data about their Facebook Friends such as email address, phone number, gender and date of birth, as well as Instagram followers and engagement information such as name, user profile URL, location and number of likes and comments per post.
"We are seeking a permanent injunction against Octopus," said Meta.
The social network also filed an action against a Turkish-based individual, Ekrem Ates, for using automated Instagram accounts to scrape data from the profiles of over 3,50,000 Instagram users.
These profiles were viewable to logged-in Instagram users.
Ates then published the scraped data on his own websites or "ceclone sites".
In the first half of 2021, Meta tracked over 100 different Instagram clone sites.
"By mid-year, through our disruption efforts, the known clone site ecosystem was reduced by approximately 90 per cent," the company informed.
A clone site is a third-party site that duplicates, in whole or in part, the content of an existing site.
Among other things, clone sites can be used to display people's scraped data, scam people, and damage the credibility of the original site.
The purpose of designing the digital journey effectively is to ensure that while brands have only limited influence over how a customer navigates through their touchpoints, a brand can still control their experience by building an omnichannel framework that supports and anticipates their journey better.
Social media has found its way into our muscle memory. And it’s an ecosystem that is ever evolving. What can we expect the future of social media to be?
Over the past few years, the number of women at the junior level has grown. Still, women continue to be underrepresented at the leadership level. Bias impacts women’s day-to-day work experiences and ability to advance. We are discussing the challenges women are facing in the workplace.

Former Peoria Rivermen broadcaster calls games for New York Yankees
PEORIA — Brendan Burke grew up watching the New York Yankees from the left field grandstand at Yankee Stadium.
The former Peoria Rivermen radio voice had a dream-come-true view of the Yanks over the weekend, making his Major League Baseball debut behind the microphone filling in for longtime New York play-by-play voice John Sterling on WFAN.
Burke, who turns 38 this week, made his debut in a doubleheader at Cleveland against the Guardians on Saturday, then worked Sunday's game as well. He moved on with the team on its road trip, and will work games in Pittsburgh on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Sterling, 84, is reducing his workload, leaving the seat open for broadcasters to fill in. Mainstay commentator Suzyn Waldman was alongside Burke in the booth over the weekend.
More Rivermen news:How this former Peoria Rivermen broadcaster ended up calling Olympic rowing
"This is my great white buffalo, if you will," Burke told WFAN after his five-game stint was announced. "This is where I got the spark for being a sportscaster."
Burke's father, Don, was a Yankees beatwriter for a pair of New Jersey newspapers, and Brendan would often come to Yankees games and sit in the radio booth between Sterling and Michael Kay.
He got his broadcasting break in hockey, though, reaching the Triple-A level with the Rivermen when they were the St. Louis Blues top affiliate in the American Hockey League in 2008-09.
He was voice of the Rivermen through the 2012-13 season, and went on to become the New York Islanders TV broadcast play-by-play man in the 2016-17 season.
Broadcasters delight:6 reasons the sports world might know Peoria
He works for MSG Networks, NBC Sports (NHL postseason games), Turner Sports, has called events in the Olympics and was a voice on the inaugural broadcast team for the Premier Lacrosse League on NBC.

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greek firefighters battled a large forest blaze that forced the evacuation of a small village west of Athens, the latest in a series of wildfires that flared as strong winds swept several parts of Greece.
By evening, the fire service said the blaze appeared to be spreading at a much slower pace, raising hopes it could be soon contained.
More than 130 firefighters and volunteers, assisted by 10 water-dropping aircraft, were battling the fire that broke out around noon Tuesday near the seaside town of Porto Germeno, 70 kilometers (44 miles) west of Athens.
As a precaution, the village of Mytikas was ordered evacuated, but there were no reports of injuries. Greek news reports said one uninhabited house was damaged.
Authorities said the strong wind, which kept shifting direction, was hampering the firefighting effort. The weather service said the wind was expected to slacken in the evening.
Fire service personnel was on a high alert on several parts of the country Tuesday, amid a forecast major risk of wildfires. Two other blazes were burning in the southern Peloponnese region. The fire service said it had dealt with more than 300 forest fires over the past week — 65 of them in the past 24 hours.
Early Tuesday, firefighters were able to bring under control a major blaze that threatened a large area of olive groves close to the town of Itea, in the plain under the ancient site of Delphi in central Greece and forced some home evacuations. About 300 hectares (740 acres) of the roughly 5,500-hectare (13,600-acre) olive-planted area were burnt. The ancient site was in no danger.
Also, a fire Monday forced the evacuation by sea of 73 hotel residents from a beach close to Kranidi in the northeastern Peloponnese. No injuries were reported.
Greece suffers destructive wildfires every summer. In 2018, more than 100 people died in a blaze at the Mati seaside resort east of Athens. Since then, authorities have focused on swift, precautionary evacuations of inhabited areas under threat. | https://www.wane.com/news/national-world/ap-international/greece-large-forest-blaze-forces-evacuations-west-of-athens/ | 2022-07-06T11:16:40Z | https://www.wane.com/news/national-world/ap-international/greece-large-forest-blaze-forces-evacuations-west-of-athens/ | false |
NEW YORK (AP) — The fossilized skeleton of a T. rex relative that roamed the earth about 76 million years ago will be auctioned in New York this month, Sotheby’s announced Tuesday.
The Gorgosaurus skeleton will highlight Sotheby’s natural history auction on July 28, the auction house said.
The Gorgosaurus was an apex carnivore that lived in what is now the western United States and Canada during the late Cretaceous Period. It predated its relative the Tyrannosaurus rex by 10 million years.
The specimen being sold was discovered in 2018 in the Judith River Formation near Havre, Montana, Sotheby’s said. It measures nearly 10 feet (3 meters) tall and 22 (6.7 meters) feet long.
All of the other known Gorgosaurus skeletons are in museum collections, making this one the only specimen available for private ownership, the auction house said.
“In my career, I have had the privilege of handling and selling many exceptional and unique objects, but few have the capacity to inspire wonder and capture imaginations quite like this unbelievable Gorgosaurus skeleton,” Cassandra Hatton, Sotheby’s global head of science and popular culture, said.
Sotheby’s presale estimate for the fossil is $5 million to $8 million. | https://www.wane.com/science/ap-science/76-million-year-old-dinosaur-skeleton-to-be-auctioned-in-nyc/ | 2022-07-06T11:21:23Z | https://www.wane.com/science/ap-science/76-million-year-old-dinosaur-skeleton-to-be-auctioned-in-nyc/ | true |
Primark IS good enough for the Royal Box! Lorraine Kelly wore £15 dress to Wimbledon after it was picked by stylist Mark Heyes on her show
- Lorraine Kelly, 62, attended Wimbledon in stylish £15 Primark dress yesterday
- Blue and white dress was showcase on her show by stylist Mark Heyes on Friday
- Fans loved that she rocked the inexpensive frock for her day by the court
Lorraine Kelly proved great style doesn't cost the earth as she attended Wimbledon yesterday.
The presenter donned a £15 Primark dress in blue and white to watch the action from Centre Court's Royal Box at the tournament.
The dress, adorned with lemons at the hem, made a sensation online as Lorraine, 62, shared snaps of her Wimbledon afternoon on Instagram.
And eagle-eyed fans were quick to spot that the number was recommended by none other than Mark Heyes, Lorraine's show's trusted stylist, on last Friday's episode.
Lorraine Kelly, 62, proved great style doesn't cost a thing as she attended Wimbledon in a £15 Primark dress in blue and white yesterday
The dress was picked by stylist Mark Heyes on last week's show as he and Lorraine were discussing Wimbledon fashion
The blue and white dress, which comes with oversized bow sleeves and a fitted waist, gives off a summery feel, thanks to its lemony detail at the bottom of its skirt, and the Mediterranean blue slashes across the robe.
Lorraine paired it with a raffia belt, and a beloved bag from Neo. She completed the look with a yellow jacket that casually hung off her arm, and platform sandals.
The dress caught her eye when Marek debuted it on her show last week, showcasing his Wimbledon fashion picks.
After the stylist revealed the number was only £15, she said 'you never let me down.'

Mark showed the dress on Lorraine's Friday episode while discussing what stars wore to Wimbledon
Lorraine styled the look with a pair of wedges and wore a tan bag slung over her shoulder, while she completed the outfit with a pair of Ray Bans
The presenter shared a glimpse of her special day watching the tennis with her fans on her social media, where she revealed she had promised Mark Heyes she would wear the dress he had picked.
'Promised Mark Heyes I’d wear the Primark dress he picked for me on Fridays show to Wimbledon,' she said, 'a pure bargain at £15,'
The presenter's choice proved a hit as her fans stormed her Instagram to shower her with compliments.
'Love that dress on you !!!!, I have the dress with lemons on the tile pattern that showed too, for my holiday coming up soon,' one fan said.
Fans loved the dress as some noted it wasn't expensive and had been recommended by Mark on Lorraine's own show
'Gorgeous! He inspired me to buy one too,' one said, as another wrote: 'Looks stunning.
'Looks fabulous and just goes to show it’s how you wear it/style it that counts NOT how much it cost !! Class is like a dose of the clap - you’ve either got it or you don’t and you’ve got it in spades,' another fan enthused.
'Wow! You look gorgeous- just shows it’s not what you wear but the way that you wear it and you wear it so beautifully,' one said.
'I have this dress after seeing it on your program last week, I love it,' another said.
The Lorraine host put on a very animated display as she sat beside her daughter Rosie Smith, 28, in the crowds on Centre Court during afternoon play yesterday.
The TV presenter winced during one particularly tense moment of the game and lifted her arms in the air, as her daughter mirrored her expression.
Her daughter Rosie looked equally glamorous in a blue dress with ruffle detailing as she joined her famous mum at the annual tournament.
During the outing, Lorraine K looked in an elegant blue and white striped dress from Primark with a fruity trim, which was belted around her waist | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-10986975/Lorraine-Kellys-15-Primark-dress-wore-Wimbledon-goes-viral.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-07-06T11:23:20Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-10986975/Lorraine-Kellys-15-Primark-dress-wore-Wimbledon-goes-viral.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true |
BBC plans Antiques Roadshow shake-up for social media generation: Bosses hint presenter Fiona Bruce could be replaced as it looks for new production company - and warns bosses to be mindful of 'risk' when discussing British Empire
- The popular Sunday show is under a 'high-level of 'public scrutiny', BBC said
- Show should be careful when dealing with 'sensitive areas', a briefing read
- BBC bosses 'open to suggestions' on refreshing team but will keep Fiona Bruce
The BBC is planning a shake-up of Antiques Roadshow and says it is 'open to suggestions' on refreshing the production team - as it warns producers to be mindful of 'reputational risk' when discussing the British Empire.
Bosses are appointing a new production company to oversee the show - presented by Fiona Bruce - for the first time in 43 years.
Despite saying there was a 'commitment to the main series talent', the corporation said it was 'open to suggestions' on refreshing its wider roster to ensure the 'team continues to evolve in a way that reflects the breadth and diversity of the BBC audience'.
A document put together for potential producers as part of a wider tender process to make the show in future said the programme is under a 'great deal of public scrutiny' and should therefore be careful when dealing with 'sensitive areas'.
The BBC is expected to keep Fiona Bruce as host, but said it was 'open to suggestions' on refreshing its wider roster to ensure the 'team continues to evolve in a way that reflects the breadth and diversity of the BBC audience'
Antiques Roadshow has previously sparked debate over the way it has dealt with items that are linked to the British Empire.
Last year an academic at Oxford University, Dan Hicks, a professor of contemporary archaeology, suggested the programme had tried to avoid talking about the colonial history of a Mughal ring.
He accused the show of glossing over Britain's colonial past when jewellery historian John Benjamin said the ring had 'somehow found its way from somewhere near the Taj Mahal over to a charity shop'.
The Mughal Empire controlled South Asia in the 16th and 19th centuries and was the world's largest economy at the time until there was an Anglo-Mughal war in 1686 to 1690.
A briefing document seen by The Times tells potential producers of the Sunday evening show: 'The high-profile nature of Antiques Roadshow means that it is often under a great deal of public scrutiny as to how it handles sensitive areas such as colonial history.
'We are looking for experience in managing compliance issues and reputational risk.'
On the current show, each antique is presented with relevant social history and personal stories that reveal each item's origin.
Over the next two years the budget for the popular show, fronted by Fiona Bruce, is said to be in the region of £5.1million.

According to the report this covers 36 normal episodes costing up to £127,000. Another four specials are set to cost up to £135,000 to produce.
It is currently produced by the corporation's commercial arm BBC Studios, but an external company could instead win the tender. The successful company will also be tasked with improving the show's social media presence.
The document says there is a 'commitment to the main series talent', Miss Bruce, 58, as presenter. But it suggested there was potentially scope to 'enhance' the current team of experts.
A BBC spokesman said: 'Where we have relevant details about items Antiques Roadshow experts have always explored their provenance, including the history of the British Empire, among a range of other issues. This tender sets out our existing approach for potential bidders.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10986867/BBC-plans-shake-Antiques-Roadshow-seeks-new-production-company.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-07-06T11:23:42Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10986867/BBC-plans-shake-Antiques-Roadshow-seeks-new-production-company.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false |
Appeals arguments set on immigrants brought to US as kids
NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Immigrant advocates head to a federal appeals court in New Orleans on Wednesday in hopes of saving an Obama-era program that prevents the deportation of thousands of people brought into the U.S. as children.
A federal judge in Texas last year declared the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program illegal — although he agreed to leave the program intact for those already benefitting from it while his order is appealed.
DACA proponents planned an early morning vigil ahead of arguments at the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
The U.S. Justice Department is defending the program, allied with the state of New Jersey, advocacy organizations such as the Mexican-American Legal Defense and Education Fund and a coalition of dozens of powerful corporations — including Amazon, Apple, Google and Microsoft — which argue that DACA recipients are “employees, consumers and job creators.”
Texas, the lead plaintiff with eight other Republican-leaning states, argues that DACA was enacted without going through proper legal and administrative procedures, including public notice and comment periods. Additionally, the states argue that they are harmed financially by allowing immigrants to remain in the country illegally.
“DACA imposes classic pocketbook injuries on the States through social services, healthcare, and education costs,” Texas attorneys argued in a brief, estimating that the state spends tens of millions of dollars on Medicaid services on those in the country illegally.
DACA proponents argue the state hasn’t proven that ending the program would decrease its costs. They argue that DACA is a policy that falls within federal authorities’ power to decide how best to spend finite enforcement resources and that Texas diminished its claims of financial injury by waiting six years to challenge the program. They also argue the state ignores evidence that DACA recipients decrease Texas’ costs because many of them hold jobs with health insurance benefits and many own homes and pay property taxes that support schools.
“Texas and the other states cannot point to an injury that is traceable to DACA,” MALDEF attorney Nina Perales said in a news conference last week. “Without injury, there’s no jurisdiction for the federal courts to hear this case.”
The damage to DACA recipients would be grave, immigrant advocates argued in one brief, exposing them to removal from the only country many of them have known and disrupting the lives of established families.
“Collectively, they are parents of over a quarter-million U.S. citizens, and 70% of DACA recipients have an immediate family member who is a U.S. citizen,” advocates stated in one brief.
DACA has faced numerous court challenges since then-President Barack Obama created it by executive order in 2012. Former President Donald Trump moved to end the program. But a U.S. Supreme Court decision determined that he had not done it properly, bringing it back to life and allowing for new applications. That was followed by the Texas-led lawsuit.
Assigned to hear arguments at the 5th Circuit were Chief Judge Priscilla Richman, an appointee of President George W. Bush; and two Trump appointees, judges James Ho and Kurt Engelhardt.

Judges keeping Capitol riot trials in DC amid bias claims
WASHINGTON (AP) — For some of the Washington, D.C., residents who reported for jury duty last month, a pro-Trump mob’s assault on the U.S. Capitol felt like a personal attack.
Ahead of a trial for a Michigan man charged in the riot, one prospective juror said a police officer injured during the melee is a close friend. Another has friends who are congressional staffers or journalists who worked at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. A woman whose boyfriend lived near the Capitol recalled the terror she felt that day.
None of them served on the federal jury that swiftly convicted Anthony Robert Williams of storming the Capitol to obstruct Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential electoral victory.
But their personal connections to the riot highlight the challenge facing judges and attorneys in choosing impartial jurors in Washington to decide the hundreds of criminal cases stemming from the insurrection — especially as lawmakers hold high-profile public hearings on the insurrection less than a mile from the courthouse.
One of the most serious cases brought by the Justice Department in the Capitol attack has already been delayed after defense attorneys argued that their clients couldn’t get a fair trial in the midst of televised hearings by the House committee investigating the riot.
And a growing number of defendants are pushing to have their trials moved out of Washington, saying the outcome of the first trials proves that the odds are unfairly stacked against Jan. 6 defendants in the nation’s capital.
“D.C. is a city that, as a whole, feels that it has been the victim of a crime,” attorneys in two cases against members and associates of the far-right Oath Keepers extremist group wrote in court papers seeking to have their trials moved to Virginia.
Prosecutors and judges see no evidence that Capitol rioters can’t get a fair trial in the district and believe the process of weeding out biased jurors is working. Judges presiding over Jan. 6 cases have consistently rejected requests to move trials, saying the capital has plenty of residents who can serve as fair jurors.
Prosecutors’ unblemished record so far in jury trials for Jan. 6 cases may speak to the strength of the evidence against the rioters, many of whom were captured on camera storming the Capitol and even bragged about their actions on social media.
It’s the latest in a string of long-shot legal gambits from defendants charged with crimes ranging from low-level misdemeanors to felony seditious conspiracy. Already more than 300 people across the U.S. have pleaded guilty to crimes stemming from the deadly riot. Collectively, 72 jurors have unanimously convicted six Jan. 6 defendants of all 35 counts in their indictments.
The federal court in Washington — where all the Jan. 6 cases are being heard — has seen plenty of politically charged trials, including those for former Mayor Marion Barry, Iran-Contra figure Oliver North and ex-Trump adviser Roger Stone, prosecutors note.
It’s exceptionally rare for judges to agree to move trials to a different location, even in the most high-profile cases. Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, for example, was tried in Boston over the objections of his attorneys even though a large number of people in the city were impacted by the attack, which killed three people and wounded more than 260 others.
If Williams, the Jan. 6 defendant, had had his way, his trial would have been held in his native Michigan. His lawyers argued that inflammatory media coverage of the Capitol attack tainted a jury pool that already was predisposed to view him as somebody who victimized them.
Chief Judge Beryl Howell denied Williams’ request for a change of trial venue before jury selection started on June 27. One by one, the judge questioned 49 prospective jurors before seating 12 jurors and two alternates.
Howell disqualified several prospective jurors after questioning them about their personal connections or strong feelings about the events of Jan. 6. The judge asked a woman if her friendship with an officer whose ribs were broken during the riot would prevent her from being fair and impartial.
“My Christianity says, ‘No,’ but my feelings say, ‘Yes,’” the woman replied.
A man married to a USA Today reporter said Jan. 6 is a frequent topic of discussion among their friends who work at the Capitol.
“It would be very difficult to separate those,” he said before Howell excused him.
Howell also disqualified a woman who described herself as “very left biased” and a former New York City resident who said his “deep-rooted” dislike for former President Donald Trump predates his White House years.
The jurors picked for Williams’ trial included a NASA engineer, a moving company employee, a paralegal, a Wall Street regulator and a former State Department employee. None of them expressed any strong opinions about Jan. 6.
More than three dozen Capitol riot defendants have asked to have their trials moved out of Washington, including at least nine who filed their requests in June. None has succeeded so far.
In denying one such request, U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan said she agreed with prosecutors that there is no reason to believe that Washington’s entire population was so affected by the events of Jan. 6 that it can’t seat an impartial panel.
“In any U.S. jurisdiction, most prospective jurors will have heard about the events of January 6, and many will have various disqualifying biases,” she wrote.
Before a jury convicted retired New York City police officer Thomas Webster of assaulting a Capitol police officer during the riot, Webster’s lawyer said a survey of Washington residents found that 84% believe Jan. 6 defendants were trying to overturn the 2020 election results and keep Trump, a Republican, in power. The defense attorney, James Monroe, also noted that 92% of Washington residents voted for Biden, a Democrat.
“Given the lopsided political makeup of the District, it is impossible to panel a jury that is not entirely comprised of people preordained to find Webster — a presumed Trump supporter — guilty,” Monroe wrote.
U.S District Judge Amit Mehta rejected the motion, saying the survey shows that nearly half of the Washington residents polled “would keep an open mind in the context of a specific case.”
Members of the Oath Keepers also failed to persuade Mehta to move their trial on seditious conspiracy charges from Washington to Alexandria, Virginia. Their lawyers noted that every Jan. 6 case tried before a jury in Washington has resulted in a conviction.
“That is true, but guilty verdicts are hardly unusual in federal criminal prosecutions,” Mehta wrote. “The mere existence of other guilty verdicts does not mean that the jury pool is inherently tainted.”
Williams’ trial was the first for a Jan. 6 case since a House committee began holding hearings on the Capitol riot, which drew millions of TV viewers.
Defense attorney John Kiyonaga, who represents Capitol riot defendant Robert Morss, said the House committee hearings have “poisoned” the jury pool in Washington. Kiyonaga has asked for his client’s trial to be moved to another district.
“The Committee has spoon fed to the entire nation a precisely choreographed rendition of January 6th defendants as ‘insurrectionists’ and murderous orchestrators of an attempted coup,” Kiyonaga wrote.
A trial was scheduled to start in August for several members of the far-right Proud Boys extremist group charged with seditious conspiracy and accused of plotting to forcibly oppose the lawful transfer of presidential power on Jan. 6.
But U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly agreed to move the trial to December after lawyers for some Proud Boys members argued they couldn’t pick an impartial jury in the midst of the House committee hearings.
Defense attorney Carmen Hernandez also cited “non-stop prejudicial publicity” from the House committee hearings as grounds for moving the Proud Boys trial to another district, but the judge hasn’t ruled on that yet.

JACKSON, Calif. — Evacuation orders were expanded Tuesday for remote California communities near a wildfire that may have been sparked by fireworks or a barbecue on the Fourth of July in a mountainous region that's a top tourism destination.
The Electra Fire in Sierra Nevada Gold Country broke out Monday afternoon and tripled in size to about 6.1 square miles (15.8 square kilometers). It was 5% contained Tuesday night.
The fire was making short, uphill runs, fire officials said.
"The rate of spread isn't what it was like yesterday, but it is still spreading," said Amador County Sheriff Gary Redman. He said firefighters were working to keep flames confined to unpopulated canyon areas.
Mandatory evacuation orders and warnings combined affected up to 700 residents in Amador County and 300 to 400 people in Calaveras County, Redman said. Evacuation centers were set up for people and animals.
The fire started at a recreation area that was packed with people, forcing 85 to 100 celebrating the holiday at a river to take shelter at a Pacific Gas & Electric Co. facility, Redman said. All were later safely evacuated.
"This was the closest I've ever been to a fire. It was literally within feet of us," said Milka Mikula of Valley Springs, who had gone to the river with her husband, her 5-year-old daughter and her 1-year-old son.
They had to wait about six hours before they could finally start for home, she told KCRA-TV.
"I just wanted to get home. I just wanted to get out of there with my babies. I was shaking really, really bad for quite some time," Mikula said.
Redman said the cause of the fire was not known, but that it started in the Vox Beach area of the North Fork Mokelumne River. He said that could suggest fireworks or a barbecue as a potential cause.
More than 100 fire engines, 1,200 firefighters and 14 helicopters were sent to the fire, which was a threat to power infrastructure, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said. The terrain was described as steep and rugged.
Cal Fire activated an incident management team for the fire. The teams "are made up of trained personnel who provide operational management and support to large-scale, expanding incidents," Cal Fire said.
One firefighter from the local fire protection district suffered burn injuries, Redman said.
Vox Beach is about 55 miles (89 kilometers) east of Sacramento in the heart of the Sierra Nevada region that is steeped with the history of the mid-1800s Gold Rush.
Several other small fires were burning in the state.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Schubert Jonckheer & Kolbe LLP is investigating the fraud reimbursement practices of major U.S. banks using the Zelle peer-to-peer payment system, including Bank of America, Capital One, JPMorgan Chase, PNC, Truist, U.S. Bank, and Wells Fargo.
Despite Federal laws requiring the reimbursement of unauthorized electronic fund transfers, several major U.S. banks have refused to cover some customers' fraud claims related to scams taking place on the Zelle payment system, which is owned and operated by the consortium of banks listed above. These practices have led consumers to file multiple class action lawsuits in several U.S. jurisdictions, including Federal courts in California, Washington, and Florida. One industry analyst recently told The New York Times that "organized crime is rampant" and that scams and fraud on peer-to-peer payment systems, including Zelle, are "common and everywhere."

MINNEAPOLIS-ST. PAUL, Minn., July 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Children's Minnesota is thrilled to announce our innovative Children's in Home App-Based Monitoring Program (CHAMP) is now available exclusively at both of our hospital campuses in Minneapolis and St. Paul, and also Mercy hospital in Coon Rapids. CHAMP is the only program in the state of Minnesota that gives eligible newborns the ability to go home sooner – while still being monitored remotely by Children's Minnesota's neonatology team.
Only babies currently in the three hospitals' neonatal intensive care units (NICU), and our Minneapolis hospital's Special Care Nursery, are eligible for the program. These babies must meet certain requirements before they are enrolled in CHAMP. CHAMP first launched in 2021 as a pilot study at Children's Minnesota's St. Paul NICU. It expanded to Children's Minnesota's Minneapolis campus in the spring of 2022, and then to the Children's Minnesota NICU at Mercy hospital in June 2022.
Newborns who qualify for CHAMP have a nasogastric (NG) feeding tube present at the time of discharge, and are on a combination of oral and tube feedings at that time. Each infant's family is taught proper NG and oral feeding techniques, and also completes CPR training prior to discharge. At home, the newborn's parents use a specialized app via their smartphone or tablet to input their baby's vitals daily. Vitals include their baby's weight, and how their feed orally compared to their tube feeding support. This secure information is reviewed remotely by their expert care team. Among the qualifications for CHAMP, a newborn must not have any respiratory problems and also weigh more than four pounds.
"CHAMP has forged new ground in how Children's Minnesota provides expert, specialized, care for our most vulnerable patients. The success and expansion of CHAMP is a testament to how Children's Minnesota is committed to pioneering new resources that always put our patients first," said Dr. Cristina Miller, medical director of the NICU follow-up clinic at Children's Minnesota, and founder and director of CHAMP. "CHAMP is helping more families enjoy time together under their own roof while cutting-edge technology keeps their care team close-by."
The CHAMP locations are part of The Mother Baby Centers, a partnership between Allina Health and Children's Minnesota.

BEIJING (AP) — China launched a scathing attack on the U.S. and NATO on Wednesday, days before a meeting between U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian’s comments underscore the increasingly fractious relationship, along with China’s increasingly confrontational approach to foreign relations that heatedly rejects criticism.
At last week’s NATO summit in Spain, Blinken accused China of “seeking to undermine the rules-based international order.”
In his comments Wednesday, Zhao said the “so-called rules-based international order is actually a family rule made by a handful of countries to serve the U.S. self-interest.”
Washington “observes international rules only as it sees fit,” he said, adding that NATO “must renounce its blind faith in military might.”
U.S.-China relations are dominated by disputes over issues from trade and human rights to Taiwan and Beijing's territorial claims in the South China Sea.
Meanwhile, China has refused to condemn Russia’s four-month-long war against Ukraine, criticized sanctions brought against Moscow by NATO members and accused Washington and its allies of provoking the conflict.
Russia and China have strengthened political, economic and military ties, while aligning their foreign policies to oppose the influence of liberal democracies. Weeks before Russia’s February invasion, Chinese leader Xi Jinping hosted his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin for a meeting at which they pledged a partnership that had “no limits.”
At its summit, NATO for the first time singled out China as one of its strategic priorities for the next decade.
“China is substantially building up its military forces, including nuclear weapons, bullying its neighbors, threatening Taiwan … monitoring and controlling its own citizens through advanced technology, and spreading Russian lies and disinformation,” Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said after presenting NATO’s 10-year Strategic Concept.
In his comments at Wednesday's daily briefing, Zhao said the U.S. “has been working closely with NATO to hype up competition with China and stoke group confrontation."
“The history of NATO is the one about creating conflicts and waging wars … arbitrarily launching wars and killing innocent civilians, even to this day," Zhao said. “Facts have proven that it is not China that poses a systemic challenge to NATO, and instead it is NATO that brings a looming systemic challenge to world peace and security."
Blinken is expected to meet with Wang on Saturday at a meeting of foreign ministers from the Group of 20 leading rich and developing nations on the Indonesian island of Bali. | https://www.beaumontenterprise.com/news/article/Ahead-of-G-20-ministers-meeting-China-slams-US-17287003.php | 2022-07-06T11:34:38Z | https://www.beaumontenterprise.com/news/article/Ahead-of-G-20-ministers-meeting-China-slams-US-17287003.php | true |
WASHINGTON — Less than a week after a $366.7 million Powerball jackpot was claimed, Mega Millions players were hoping to score a similar amount with a $370 million jackpot on the line for the July 5 drawing -- but with no winner, the sum has grown to $400 million.
While no one woke up $370 million richer, two people in California matched five and won $1 million each.
The Mega Millions jackpot is the second-largest this year. A winner can either take the full $400 million prize in installments or a $231.7 million lump sum payout. In a news release, Mega Millions said this is the third largest jackpot it's ever offered in the month of July.
The winning numbers Tuesday were 27 - 31 - 50 - 51 - 61 with a Mega Ball of 21 and a Megaplier of 4x.
The jackpot was last won at $20 million on April 15. Mega Millions said since then, 21 tickets have been worth $1 million or more. Those tickets were sold in Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and Virginia.
While the prize money is certainly life-changing, it's far from breaking lottery records and it isn't the largest of the year. Back in January, a California woman was the sole winner of a $426 million Mega Millions jackpot. Last year, a Mega Millions jackpot cracked the $1 billion mark for just the second time. A four-member suburban Detroit lottery club won that $1.05 billion jackpot and chose the lump sump, receiving $557 million after taxes.
During Friday's drawing last week, there weren't any huge winners. But for lucky people in three states, close was good enough.
Three tickets sold in Arkansas, Georgia and Pennsylvania matched five, winning $1 million each.
And last week, a winning Powerball ticket was sold at a Jolley Short Stop convenience store, winning one person in Vermont a cool $366.7 million. It was the first time in Powerball history that a jackpot-winning ticket had been sold in the state. That winner has yet to come forward to claim their prize.
Mega Millions is played in 45 states as well as Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. | https://www.wnep.com/article/news/nation-world/mega-millions-jackpot/507-6515b6b1-6a9e-463d-a6fa-009c67184b80 | 2022-07-06T11:38:03Z | https://www.wnep.com/article/news/nation-world/mega-millions-jackpot/507-6515b6b1-6a9e-463d-a6fa-009c67184b80 | true |

Responsibility for creating and leading AEHRA's worldwide marketing and communications strategy, and the brand's launch, image, and ongoing growth resides with Andy Abramson. As AEHRA Global Chief Marketing Officer, Abramson brings more than four decades of marketing, as well as technology startup growth, experience to bear. He has founded numerous marketing agencies and supported 56 companies' acquisitions, generating over six billion dollars in returns to founders, executives and investors.
Commenting on his appointment, Andy Abramson, AEHRA Global Chief Marketing Officer, said: "I've always selected the companies I work with very carefully, as they have to know why they're different and how they'll change the game. In AEHRA, I see a rapidly changing electric vehicle market that's prime for elegant Italian car design, excellent performance and a superior customer experience. Offering something truly unique, AEHRA is the first EV manufacturer to truly outwardly address the in-car experience that surrounds the comfort of the driver and the passengers."
Commenting on the latest appointments, AEHRA Co-Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Hazim, said: "I am delighted to welcome Filippo, Alessandro, Stefano, and Andy to AEHRA. All bring exceptional experience in their chosen fields and will prove invaluable in delivering our mission to create and deliver vehicles that transform the ultra luxury (or high premium) automotive sector and redefine the automotive journey and ownership experience. It is especially gratifying that after we shared our vision, several of our newly appointed team members chose to relinquish senior leadership roles with global automotive OEMs to join AEHRA."
With substantial private funding in place, AEHRA has established a clear roadmap to deliver its unique, transformative business model. The Italian-based brand will unveil the final design and names of its elegant SUV and a sophisticated Sedan later this year, with customer deliveries expected in 2025.
A strategic model roll out is planned for key markets, including North America, Europe, China, and the Gulf States cited as key target markets.

REMINGTON, Va. (AP) — For years, there’s been a cardinal rule for flying civilian drones: Keep them within your line of sight. Not just because it’s a good idea — it’s also the law.
But some drones have recently gotten permission to soar out of their pilots’ sight. They can now inspect high-voltage power lines across the forested Great Dismal Swamp in Virginia. They’re tracking endangered sea turtles off Florida’s coast and monitoring seaports in the Netherlands and railroads from New Jersey to the rural West.
Aviation authorities in the U.S. and elsewhere are preparing to relax some of the safeguards they imposed to regulate a boom in off-the-shelf consumer drones over the past decade. Businesses want simpler rules that could open your neighborhood’s skies to new commercial applications of these low-flying machines, although privacy advocates and some airplane and balloon pilots remain wary.
For now, a small but growing group of power companies, railways and delivery services like Amazon are leading the way with special permission to fly drones “beyond visual line of sight.” As of early July, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration had approved 230 such waivers — one of them to Virginia-based Dominion Energy for inspecting its network of power plants and transmission lines.
“This is the first step of what everybody’s expecting with drones,” said Adam Lee, Dominion’s chief security officer. “The first time in our nation’s history where we’ve now moved out into what I think everyone’s expecting is coming.”
That expectation — of small drones with little human oversight delivering packages, assessing home insurance claims or buzzing around on nighttime security patrols — has driven the FAA’s work this year to craft new safety guidelines meant to further integrate drones into the national airspace.
The FAA said it is still reviewing how it will roll out routine operations enabling some drones to fly beyond visual line of sight, although it it has signaled that the permissions will be reserved for commercial applications, not hobbyists.
“Our ultimate goal is you shouldn’t need a waiver for this process at all. It becomes an accepted practice,” said Adam Bry, CEO of California drone-maker Skydio, which is supplying its drones to Dominion, railroad company BNSF and other customers with permission to fly beyond line of sight.
“The more autonomous the drones become, the more they can just be instantly available anywhere they could possibly be useful,” Bry said.
Part of that involves deciding how much to trust that drones won’t crash into people or other aircraft when their operators aren’t looking. Other new rules will require drones to carry remote identification — like an electronic license plate — to track their whereabouts. And in the aftermath of Russia’s war in Ukraine — where both sides have used small consumer drones to target attacks — the White House has been pushing a parallel effort to counter the potential malicious use of drones in the U.S.
At a gas-fired plant in Remington, Virginia, which helps power some of Washington’s suburbs, a reporter with The Associated Press watched in June as Dominion Energy drone pilots briefly lost visual line of sight of their inspection drone as it flew around the backside of a large fuel tank and the top of a smoke stack.
That wouldn’t have been legally possible without Dominion’s recently approved FAA waiver. And it wouldn’t have been technically possible without advancements in collision-avoidance technology that are enabling drones to fly closer to buildings.
Previously, “you would have to erect scaffolding or have people go in with a bucket truck,” said Nate Robie, who directs the drone program at Dominion. “Now you can go in on a 20-minute flight.”
Not everyone is enthused about the pending rules. Pilots of hot air balloons and other lightweight aircraft warn that crashes will follow if the FAA allows largely autonomous delivery drones the right of way at low altitudes.
“These drones cannot see where they are flying and are blind to us,” said a June call to action from the Balloon Federation of America.
Broader concerns come from civil liberties groups that say protecting people’s privacy should be a bigger priority.
“There is a greater chance that you’ll have drones flying over your house or your backyard as these beyond-visual-line-of-sight drone operations increase,” said Jeramie Scott, a senior counsel at the Electronic Privacy Information Center who sat on the FAA’s advisory group working to craft new drone rules. “It’ll be much harder to know who to complain to.”
EPIC and other groups dissented from the advisory group’s early recommendations and are calling for stronger privacy and transparency requirements — such as an app that could help people identify the drones above them and what data they are collecting.
“If you want to fly beyond visual line of sight, especially if you are commercial, the public has a right to know what you’re flying, what data you are collecting,” said Andrés Arrieta, director of consumer privacy engineering at the Electronic Frontier Foundation. “It seems like such a low bar.” | https://who13.com/news/national-news/new-frontier-for-drones-letting-them-fly-out-of-sight/ | 2022-07-06T11:40:11Z | https://who13.com/news/national-news/new-frontier-for-drones-letting-them-fly-out-of-sight/ | true |
An area in Wirral could be in line for major regeneration after the council announced plans to make a bid for £12m from the government’s Levelling Up fund.
The application will be submitted to develop a new community hub and help regenerate the centre of Liscard, in Wallasey, with a particular emphasis on developing the shopping area. Proposals include improving shop fronts on Liscard Way and making Mother Redcap Place more user-friendly.
There are also plans to reconfigure the Wallasey Road and Seaview Road junction to improve traffic flows and allow safer cycling and pedestrian travel, and to encourage high quality residential development at the Seaview Road Car Park site by creating new links to the town centre.

Wirral Council leader and Labour Liscard councillor Janette Williamson said: “Liscard deserves this funding to regenerate the town centre and to create a new community hub, where the area’s many brilliant groups can meet.
"Together with local businesses, voluntary groups and residents, we have been working hard to improve the town centre, in particular the shopping area, and this funding would be a huge boost.”
The bid builds on the Liscard Neighbourhood Framework, which has been approved as the regeneration strategy for the area. It will focus on the fund’s ‘Regeneration and Town Centre Investment’ theme, with interlinked projects that will boost Liscard town centre into a vibrant town centre.
Liscard’s Labour candidate in the upcoming by-election, James Stewart Laing, said: “This funding will build on the regeneration work already started in Liscard, it will further improve the town’s shopping offer and link together key areas to make walking and cycling easier for our residents as part of our commitment to active travel.”
If granted, the bid will work alongside the existing Town Centre Fund Action Plan, which includes business and community grants, extra CCTV and the pump track - something Liscard and Egremont Labour councillor Daisy Kenny has been working on.
She said: “Our plans for Liscard are extremely exciting and ambitious. This funding would help to regenerate the area with the needs of the local community at the forefront of the plans.
“Together with the Town Centre Fund Action Plan, this will build momentum and investment going into Liscard and further improve the area for years to come.”
In the last round of levelling up funding, Wirral won £19.6m to transform the waterfront at Woodside, including enhancing public spaces, upgrading the U-Boat Story attraction and to make major infrastructure improvements to the area leading to the removal of the Woodside Gyratory and a bus interchange area relocation.

VAN BUREN -- A man arrested Sunday in Crawford County in connection with his wife's death had his first appearance in court Tuesday.
Marc McCune, county Circuit Court judge, set the bond for Eathan Alan Cypert, 28, at $1 million, according to the Circuit Clerk's Office. Cypert's arraignment will be set after Rinda Baker, prosecuting attorney, files the case in the Circuit Clerk's Office.
Baker didn't respond to a message requesting comment Tuesday.
Cypert was arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder Sunday morning, according to Sheriff Jimmy Damante. He is being held at the county jail.
Damante said the Sheriff's Office received a call from a woman who lived on Arkansas 59 north of the Natural Dam unincorporated community earlier that day. The woman, whom Damante identified as Cypert's aunt, said Cypert and his wife, Christina Cypert, were fighting at the residence. However, she then called back to say the couple had left the scene, believing they had done so after going outside.
"She said she heard a couple of pops, but she thought it was fireworks, so she didn't think anything of it," Damante said.
Damante said deputies went to the home anyway in keeping with department protocol. They found Christina Cypert dead in the front yard about 2 a.m. Sunday, having apparently been shot.
It appears all three people at the home had been drinking alcohol and were intoxicated, according to Damante.
Damante said Van Buren police later took Eathan Cypert into custody without incident at a rest stop on Interstate 40. They brought him to the Sheriff's Office, where he was arrested after deputies questioned him.
The Sheriff's Office's investigation into this incident is ongoing, according to Damante. | https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2022/jul/06/bond-set-for-river-valley-man-arrested-on-murder/ | 2022-07-06T11:46:36Z | https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2022/jul/06/bond-set-for-river-valley-man-arrested-on-murder/ | false |
You could be forgiven for struggling to keep up with all the different models in Microsoft's Surface range, but the updated Surface Laptop Go 2 stands out by virtue of being the smallest, lightest and most affordable of the clamshell laptops now on offer.
The 2022 edition isn't a major upgrade, primarily focusing on its new 11th generation Core i5 processor and enhanced security features for business users. However, the Surface Laptop Go 2's lightweight and stylish design should appeal to those seeking an ultraportable laptop for general, daily use. It covers a lot of bases too, providing both consumer and business variants aimed at users ranging from budget-limited students to business travellers.
Like its 2020 predecessor, the Surface Laptop Go 2 opts for a 12.4-inch touch-enabled display that helps to keep the device's weight down to just 1.13kg, while the slimline profile measures just 15.7mm thick. It's easy to pick up with one hand and slip into a backpack or briefcase when you're ready to hit the road. The build quality is impeccable, despite the competitive price. Available in a variety of colours (Sage, Ice Blue, Sandstone and Platinum), the aluminum casing of the Laptop Go 2 feels sturdy enough to cope with a few bumps when you're travelling.
The keyboard panel feels surprisingly firm and comfortable. Microsoft claims that it "provides 30% more key travel than the MacBook Air", and the keyboard certainly feels satisfyingly responsive when typing. That said, it's odd that there's no backlight built into the keyboard for use in darkened rooms or airplane cabins.
The small screen has its drawbacks, providing a resolution of just 1536 by 1024 pixels (148dpi). Opting for a 3:2 aspect ratio is a good decision, as it means the display is tall enough to provide good visibility when reading or scrolling through documents or web pages. However, the screen does quickly start to feel a bit cluttered as soon as you have a few overlapping windows or apps open at once. The screen is bright and colourful -- in fact, to my naked eye sometimes too much so -- with the colours seeming slightly oversaturated at times, especially on the red end of the spectrum.
Microsoft's spec sheet makes no mention of the screen's brightness or colour gamut support, but the company tells us it is 330 nits and 100% of sRGB. Clearly the Surface Laptop Go 2 is not intended for professional-level graphics work, but its display works perfectly well for viewing documents, web pages or watching video.
The Surface Laptop Go 2's compact design means that connectivity is somewhat limited. On the wireless side there's Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1, but physical connectors are limited to just one USB-C and one USB-A port, plus a 3.5mm headphone jack and Microsoft's Surface Connect port for charging and docking. Thankfully, the USB-C port did allow me to connect the Laptop Go 2 to an external 4K display -- Microsoft's website seems to imply that this requires the additional Surface Dock 2 ($259.99). However, business users who want to use the Laptop Go 2 as part of their office setup may still need an additional dock or hub to provide features such as Ethernet for an office network, or additional USB ports.
And the one obvious sign of cost-cutting with the Surface Laptop Go 2 is its 720p webcam, although Microsoft states that there's a new camera module providing improved brightness, contrast and colour balance. The image is certainly bright enough, even on a gloomy British summer day, but there's still a slightly grainy quality to it, so business users who need a high-quality webcam for video calls and meetings might prefer to buy a 1080p webcam along with their desktop hub.
As mentioned, the Surface Laptop Laptop Go 2 is available in both consumer and business editions, with the latter including Windows 11 Pro, and providing Secured-Core PC security features, including a physical TPM 2.0 chip (rather than implementing TPM in firmware as the consumer model does).
Business users also benefit from Microsoft's 'advance exchange' warranty, which allows them to request a replacement unit even before their faulty Surface device has been collected for repair. We'll focus on the business pricing here, but consumer pricing is generally just $100 cheaper for each individual configuration.
Business prices for the Surface Laptop Go 2 start at $699.99 for a model with a quad-core Core i5-1135G7 processor running at 2.4GHz (up to 4.2GHz with Turbo Boost), along with a rather miserly 4GB of RAM and 128GB of solid-state storage. The base model doesn't include a fingerprint sensor, although the sensor is built into the power button on all other configurations.
Our review unit had 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, bringing the price to $899.99; there's also a $1099.99 model with 16GB of RAM, which seems rather expensive for a simple memory upgrade. There are no additional processor or other upgrade options, and all configurations rely on the Core i5's integrated Iris Xe Graphics.
You can't accuse Microsoft of over-hyping the performance of the Surface Laptop Go 2, as its website simply states that it provides "performance to run everyday apps".
That's an accurate description of the performance provided by the 11th-generation Core i5 processor, which achieves scores of 1345 (single core) and 4140 (multi core) in the Geekbench 5 CPU benchmark. In contrast, Apple's current M1-based MacBook Air ($999.99) scores 1730 and 7590 respectively.
That modest CPU performance is also reflected in the PCMark 10 application tests, with a score of 4466 that only just lifts it out of the lowest third of the results table. To be fair, the Surface Laptop Go 2 will handle standard productivity software such as Microsoft Office without any trouble, along with web browsing, email and video calls.
The integrated Iris Xe Graphics is perhaps the stand-out performer here, providing a PCMark 10 score of 7508 for photo-editing work, so the Laptop Go 2 should be able to manage some basic photo editing for presentations work if required. It won't be able to handle much in the way of video editing or gaming, though, with a PCMark 10 video score of 4341, while its gaming score of 10,820 in the 3DMark Night Raid test puts it firmly in the 'less than 20fps' category.
The one real disappointment with the Surface Laptop Go 2 is its battery life. Microsoft quotes up to 13.5 hours of 'typical device usage', but our review unit only managed half that during our video streaming test, lasting for a modest six hours and forty minutes even with the screen brightness turned down to 50%. You might be able to stretch that to a full eight-hour working day if you're not using the wi-fi all day long, but that's still far behind the outstanding 17 hours provided by the M1 MacBook Air.
Microsoft's Surface Laptop Go 2 is something of a mixed bag. Judged on its performance and battery life alone, this is an entry-level laptop with a distinctly mid-range price -- and some rather expensive memory upgrades.
The Surface Laptop Go 2's saving grace is its sleek, ultraportable design, which is both stylish and sturdy, and well suited to hybrid and mobile working. If you value portability above everything else, then the lightweight Laptop Go 2 is certainly tempting.
However, business users who need to do more than just run Microsoft Office may prefer one of the more powerful models in the Surface range, or one of its many ultraportable rivals.
Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 2 specifications
The Surface Laptop Go 2 is one of the slimmest, lightest Windows laptops around, but it has plenty of competition in the ultraportable category, at a variety of price points.

FORT SMITH -- Police are investigating after a vehicle collision left a man dead Tuesday.
Aric Mitchell, Police Department spokesman, said in a news release police responded to a hit-and-run incident with serious injuries in the 2200 block of South R Street and Jenny Lind Road about 12:51 p.m. Tuesday. The driver of the vehicle that was hit, William Kyzer of Fort Smith, was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly afterward.
Mitchell said at that point police were looking for a 2000s model dark blue Chevrolet Tahoe in connection to the incident.
Mitchell said in a later news release police believe they found the suspected vehicle, although he couldn't confirm any specifics about it Tuesday. More information about the incident will be released after the vehicle is processed.

Strategic transaction to accelerate Paper Excellence's growth strategy, bringing complementary capabilities in lumber and pulp
MONTREAL, July 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - The Paper Excellence Group (the "Group"), through its wholly-owned subsidiary Domtar Corporation ("Domtar"), a global diversified manufacturer of pulp and specialty, printing, writing, and packaging papers, and Resolute Forest Products Inc. ("Resolute") (NYSE: RFP) (TSX: RFP), a global forest products company, have entered into an agreement under which Domtar will acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Resolute stock.
With this addition to its family of companies, the Paper Excellence Group will further build out its portfolio in North America following the successful acquisition of Domtar last year.
Patrick Loulou, vice chair and chief strategy officer of the Paper Excellence Group, commented, "We are excited to welcome Resolute and its employees to the Paper Excellence family. Resolute is an ideal fit for our long-term growth strategy. It complements our existing pulp, paper and packaging businesses and adds capabilities in lumber and tissue. We have seen firsthand that Resolute prides itself on its great people, strong assets and a culture of excellence going back more than two hundred years."
Resolute will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Domtar, under the auspices of the Group, and continue to operate on a business-as-usual basis under the Resolute name. The Resolute management team will remain in place at the company's headquarters. Considering the quality workforce available with Resolute and Domtar, Montreal will become an important hub for the Group's North American businesses. Furthermore, the Group plans to retain Resolute's production locations and levels of jobs.
"With this transaction, Resolute will accelerate its growth as it gains access to more tools, capital and opportunities to pursue our ambitions with the combined resources of the Paper Excellence Group," stated Remi G. Lalonde, Resolute's president and chief executive officer. "This is good for employees and the communities where Resolute operates because we will continue to grow in a manner consistent with our core values of accountability, caring and trust that we hold dear. Together, we will form a stronger and more resilient, diversified forest products company, positioned to compete on a truly global scale, with a shared commitment to being a trusted business partner, dedicated to sustainability and to caring for its people and communities."
As part of its commitment to building a premier North American diversified forest products company and creating long-term growth, the Group intends to support Resolute management's existing growth strategy, focused on strategic investments in its lumber and pulp businesses, and maximizing the value of its paper and tissue businesses. It also plans to undertake a detailed feasibility study for the eventual conversion of Resolute's Gatineau, Quebec, newsprint mill to the production of packaging paper.
"This is a good example of how the Paper Excellence Group's diversified business, financial resources, and technical capabilities can open up new strategic avenues for assets that may otherwise face an uncertain future. This is but one example of our support and intention to implement significant investments aligned with Resolute's strategic plan for the future," concluded Mr. Loulou.
Furthermore, the Group intends to form long-term partnerships with one or more universities in Quebec and Ontario to spearhead innovation in the field of fiber-based biomaterials.
The cash portion of the merger consideration represents a premium of approximately 64% to Resolute's closing share price on NYSE on July 5, 2022. The cash consideration represents an enterprise value of approximately $2.7 billion, including pension liabilities and excluding the Contingent Value Right (CVR) on softwood lumber duty deposit refunds.
"This agreement offers our stockholders the opportunity to realize a significant premium for their shares in cash, plus additional value with contingent value rights tied to the prospective recovery of accumulated deposits on estimated softwood lumber duties through the second quarter," added Mr. Lalonde.
The transaction will be carried out by way of a merger of Resolute with a newly created subsidiary of Domtar, providing for conversion of each share of Resolute common stock into the right to receive $20.50 per share, together with a CVR entitling the holder to a share of future softwood lumber duty deposit refunds. Each share, on a fully diluted basis at closing, will be entitled to receive one CVR.
"The addition of Resolute enables us to continue executing our long-term business plan to drive growth to the benefit of all stakeholders," said John D. Williams, president and chief executive officer of Domtar. "After the close of the transaction, the Paper Excellence Group will own or operate a collection of diverse, strategic assets across North America that allows us to deliver a wider range of high-quality products to our customers. This transaction continues to demonstrate the strong belief in the potential of our business model and we look forward to continuing to operate successfully and efficiently into the future."
Under the CVR, stockholders will receive any refunds on approximately $500 million of deposits on estimated softwood lumber duties paid by Resolute through June 30, 2022, including any interest thereon, net of certain expenses and of applicable tax and withholding. Any proceeds attributable to the CVR will be distributed proportionally to CVR holders, and the value will ultimately be determined by the terms and timing of the resolution of the softwood lumber dispute between Canada and the United States. The terms and timing of such resolution is uncertain. The CVRs will not be tradeable and will be subject to prohibitions on transfer.
Resolute stockholders will have the opportunity to vote on the transaction at a stockholders' meeting to be held in early fall. The merger will require the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of Resolute.
Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited, a significant stockholder of Resolute, has entered into a voting and support agreement to vote its shares in favor of the transaction. As of July 5, 2022, Fairfax Financial Holdings held approximately 30,548,190 shares, or 40% of the outstanding shares as of that date.
A full description of the transaction will be outlined in the proxy statement of Resolute, to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") at www.sec.gov/edgar/browse ("EDGAR"), and with the Canadian securities regulators on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval ("SEDAR") at www.sedar.com and mailed to stockholders of Resolute.
In addition to stockholder approval, the transaction is subject to applicable regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of certain other customary closing conditions.
The board of directors of Resolute unanimously determined that the terms of the transaction are fair to, and in the best interests of, Resolute and its stockholders and resolved to recommend that Resolute stockholders vote for the transaction.
The transaction is expected to close as soon as possible following stockholder and regulatory approvals, and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions, which is currently expected in the first half of 2023.

BANGKOK (AP) — Sri Lanka is desperate for help with weathering its worst crisis in recent memory. Its schools are closed for lack of fuel to get kids and teachers to classrooms. Its effort to arrange a bailout from the International Monetary Fund has been hindered by the severity of its financial crisis, its prime minister says.
But it’s not the only economy that’s in serious trouble as prices of food, fuel and other staples have soared with the war in Ukraine. Alarm bells are ringing for many economies around the world, from Laos and Pakistan to Venezuela and Guinea.
Some 1.6 billion people in 94 countries face at least one dimension of the crisis in food, energy and financial systems, and about 1.2 billion of them live in “perfect-storm” countries, severely vulnerable to a cost-of-living crisis plus other longer-term strains, according to a report last month by the Global Crisis Response Group of the United Nations Secretary-General.
The exact causes for their woes vary, but all share rising risks from surging costs for food and fuel, driven higher by Russia’s war on Ukraine, which hit just as disruptions to tourism and other business activity from the coronavirus pandemic were fading. As a result, the World Bank estimates that per capita incomes in developing economies will be 5% below pre-pandemic levels this year.
The economic strains are fueling protests in many countries, as meanwhile, short-term, higher interest borrowing to help finance pandemic relief packages has heaped more debt on countries already struggling to meet repayment obligations. More than half of the world’s poorest countries are in debt distress or at high risk of it, according to the U.N.
Some of the worst crises are in countries already devastated by corruption, civil war, coups or other calamities. They muddle along, but with an undue burden of suffering.
Here’s a look at a few of the economies that are in dire straits or at greatest risk.
AFGHANISTAN
Afghanistan has been reeling from a dire economic crisis since the Taliban took control as the U.S. and its NATO allies withdrew their forces last year. Foreign aid — long a mainstay — stopped practically overnight and governments piled on sanctions, halted bank transfers and paralyzed trade, refusing to recognize the Taliban government. The Biden administration froze $7 billion in Afghanistan’s foreign currency reserves held in the United States. About half the country’s 39 million people face life-threatening levels of food insecurity and most civil servants, including doctors, nurses and teachers, have been unpaid for months. A recent earthquake killed more than 1,000 people, adding to those miseries.
ARGENTINA
About four of every 10 Argentines are poor and its central bank is running perilously low on foreign reserves as its currency weakens. Inflation is forecast to exceed 70% this year. Millions of Argentines survive largely thanks to soup kitchens and state welfare programs, many of which are funneled through politically powerful social movements linked to the ruling party. A recent deal with the IMF to restructure $44 billion in debt faces questions over concessions that critics say will hinder a recovery.
EGYPT
Egypt’s inflation rate surged to almost 15% in April, causing privation especially for the nearly one-third of its 103 million people living in poverty. They were already suffering from an ambitious reform program that includes painful austerity measures like floating the national currency and slashing subsidies for fuel, water and electricity. The central bank raised interest rates to curb inflation and devalued the currency, adding to difficulties in repaying Egypt’s sizable foreign debt. Egypt’s net foreign reserves have fallen. Its neighbors Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates have pledged $22 billion in deposits and direct investments as assistance.
LAOS
Tiny, landlocked Laos was one of the fastest growing economies until the pandemic hit. Its debt levels have surged and like Sri Lanka, it is in talks with creditors on how to repay billions of dollars worth of loans. That’s an urgent issue given the country’s weak government finances. Its foreign reserves are equal to less than two months of imports, the World Bank says. A 30% depreciation in the Lao currency, the kip, has worsened those woes. Rising prices and job losses due to the pandemic threaten to worsen poverty.
LEBANON
Lebanon shares with Sri Lanka a toxic combination of currency collapse, shortages, punishing levels of inflation and growing hunger, snaking queues for gas and a decimated middle class. It, too, endured a long civil war, its recovery hampered by government dysfunction and terror attacks.
Proposed taxes in late 2019 ignited longstanding anger against the ruling class and months of protests. The currency began to sink and Lebanon defaulted on paying back worth about $90 billion at the time, or 170% of GDP — one of the highest in the world. In June 2021, with the currency having lost nearly 90% of its value, the World Bank said the crisis ranked as one of the worst the world has seen in more than 150 years.
MYANMAR
The pandemic and political instability have buffeted Myanmar’s economy, especially after the army seized power in February 2021 from the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi. That brought Western sanctions targeting commercial holdings controlled by the army, which dominate the economy. The economy contracted by 18% last year and is forecast to barely grow in 2022. More than 700,000 people have fled or been forced from their homes by armed conflicts and political violence. The situation is so uncertain, a recent global economic update from the World Bank excluded forecasts for Myanmar for 2022-2024.
PAKISTAN
Like Sri Lanka, Pakistan has been in urgent talks with the IMF, hoping to revive a $6 billion bailout package that was put on hold after Prime Minister Imran Khan’s government was ousted in April. Soaring crude oil prices pushed up fuel prices which in turn raised other costs, pushing inflation to over 21%. A government minister’s appeal to cut back on tea drinking to reduce the $600 million bill for imported tea angered many Pakistanis. Pakistan’s currency, the rupee, has fallen about 30% against the U.S. dollar in the past year. To gain the IMF’s support, Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif has raised fuel prices, abolished fuel subsidies and imposed a new, 10% “super tax” on major industries to help repair the country’s tattered finances. As of late March, Pakistan’s foreign exchange reserves had fallen to $13.5 billion, equivalent to just two months of imports. “Macroeconomic risks are strongly tilted to the downside,” the World Bank warned in its latest assessment.
TURKEY
Worsening government finances and a growing trade and capital account deficit have compounded Turkey’s troubles with high and rising debt, inflation — at over 60% —and high unemployment. The Central Bank resorted to using foreign reserves to fend off a currency crisis, after the beleaguered lira fell to all-time lows against the U.S. dollar euro in late 2021. Tax cuts and fuel subsidies to cushion the blow from inflation have weakened government finances. Families are struggling to buy food and other goods, while Turkey’s foreign debt is about 54% of its GDP, an unsustainable level given the high level of government debt.
ZIMBABWE
Inflation in Zimbabwe has surged to more than 130%, raising fears the country could return to the hyperinflation of 2008 that reached 500 billion percent and heaping problems on its already fragile economy. Zimbabwe struggles to generate an adequate inflow of greenbacks needed for its largely dollarized local economy, which has been battered by years of de-industrialization, corruption, low investment, low exports and high debt. Inflation has left Zimbabweans distrustful of the currency, adding to demand for U.S. dollars. And many skip meals as they struggle to make ends meet.

Lukasz Fabianski `honoured and proud´ after signing new West Ham contract
West Ham goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski has signed a contract extension until the summer of 2023.
The 37-year-old joined the Irons from Arsenal in the summer of 2018, and has gone on to become an integral part of David Moyes’ current squad.
There is an option to extend the deal for a further year and former Poland international Fabianski feels there are plenty of reasons to be positive as the club prepare for another European campaign.
“I’m obviously pleased and very happy that I can stay for one more year, so I’m excited about it, for sure,” Fabianski said on the West Ham website.
“The way the club has developed and started to reach its potential, it’s been really nice to be part of it.
“I can see how much attention this club draws when it comes to interacting with the fans or the way it’s being presented in the media.

“I think there’s a lot of interest in the club, so it feels like this club is one of the bigger ones in the country, so I’m just honoured and proud to be part of this club for a few years now.”
West Ham finished seventh last season and also reached the semi-finals of the Europa League.
Moyes has already moved to further strengthen the squad with the arrival of Morocco defender Nayef Aguerd from Rennes, while goalkeeper Alphonse Areola has made a permanent switch from Paris St Germain after a successful loan spell.
West Ham have also been linked with Chelsea striker Armando Broja and Blackburn frontman Ben Brereton Diaz. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-10987419/Lukasz-Fabianski-honoured-proud-signing-new-West-Ham-contract.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-07-06T11:56:56Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-10987419/Lukasz-Fabianski-honoured-proud-signing-new-West-Ham-contract.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true |

Support ebbs for Boris Johnson as more British ministers quit
By Michael Holden, Elizabeth Piper and Kate Holton
LONDON, July 6 (Reuters) - Britain's Boris Johnson was clinging to power on Wednesday, with support seeping away from the increasingly isolated prime minister, badly wounded by the resignation of a stream of senior colleagues who said he was not fit to govern.
Johnson's finance and health secretaries quit on Tuesday following the latest scandal to hit the government, triggering the departure of around 15 lower-ranking politicians and the withdrawal of support of once loyal lawmakers.
With the tide of resignations rising, some questioned whether the prime minister could fill the vacancies.
Johnson, due to appear in the House of Commons lower house of parliament for his weekly political questions at midday, sought to reassert authority by quickly appointing Nadhim Zahawi as finance minister.
But as former education secretary Zahawi toured broadcast studios on Wednesday morning to set out the government's priorities, he was confronted with news of fresh resignations.
Solicitor General Alex Chalk, the government's second-most senior legal adviser, said the cumulative effect of a series of scandals meant the public no longer believed the government could uphold expected standards of candour.
"I regret that I share that judgment," he said.
The level of hostility Johnson faces within his party will be laid bare when he appears in parliament for the question session, and before the chairs of select committees for a scheduled two-hour grilling later on Wednesday.
"I suspect we will have to drag him kicking and screaming from Downing Street," one Conservative lawmaker told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity. "But if we have to do it that way then we will."
Johnson, a former journalist and London mayor who became the face of Britain's departure from the European Union, won a landslide election victory in 2019 before taking a combative and often chaotic approach to governing.
His leadership has been mired in scandals and missteps over the last few months, with the prime minister fined by police for breaking COVID-19 lockdown laws and a damning report published about the behaviour of officials at his Downing Street office who breached their own lockdown rules.
There have also been policy U-turns, an ill-fated defence of a lawmaker who broke lobbying rules, and criticism he has not done enough to tackle a cost-of-living crisis, with many Britons struggling to cope with rising fuel and food prices.
The Times of London newspaper said Johnson's "serial dishonesty" was "utterly corrosive" of effective government.
"Every day that he remains deepens the sense of chaos," it said. "For the good of the country, he should go."
The latest bout of drama at the heart of British power comes as the economy deteriorates rapidly, with some economists warning the country could tip into recession.
LOST CONFIDENCE
The latest scandal saw Johnson apologising for appointing a lawmaker to a role involved in party welfare and discipline, even after being briefed that the politician had been the subject of complaints about sexual misconduct.
Downing Street's narrative changed several times over what the prime minister knew of the past behaviour of the politician, who was forced to resign, and when he knew it. His spokesman blamed a lapse in Johnson's memory.
That prompted Rishi Sunak to quit as chancellor of the exchequer - the finance minister - and Sajid Javid to resign as health secretary, while others left their junior ministerial or envoy roles.
"It is clear to me that this situation will not change under your leadership - and you have therefore lost my confidence too," Javid said in his resignation letter.
Several of the ministers cited Johnson's lack of judgment, standards, and inability to tell the truth.
A snap YouGov poll found 69% of Britons thought Johnson should step down as prime minister but for the time being the remainder of his top ministerial team offered their backing.
"I fully support the prime minister," Scottish Secretary Alister Jack said. "I am sorry to see good colleagues resign, but we have a big job of work to do."
A month ago, Johnson survived a confidence vote of Conservative lawmakers, and party rules mean he cannot face another such challenge for a year.
However, some lawmakers are seeking to change those rules, while he is also under investigation by a parliamentary committee over whether he lied to parliament about COVID-19 lockdown breaches.
Nominations are expected to open on Wednesday for the executive of the so-called 1922 Committee that sets the rules for leadership confidence votes. Johnson critics hope to elect enough people to change the rules to allow another such vote before the 12-month grace period allows.
Were Johnson to go, the process to replace him could take a couple of months.
Only two-and-a-half years ago, the ebullient Johnson won a huge parliamentary majority on a promise to sort out Britain's exit from the European Union after years of bitter wrangling.
But since then, his initial handling of the pandemic was widely criticised and the government has lurched from one predicament to another.
Although Johnson won wider plaudits for his support of Ukraine, a lift in his personal poll ratings did not last. His Conservatives trail the opposition Labour Party and his own popularity ratings are at all-time lows.
Johnson's combative approach towards the European Union has also weighed on the pound, exacerbating inflation which is forecast to surpass 11%.
"After all the sleaze, the scandals and the failure, it's clear that this government is now collapsing," Labour leader Keir Starmer said.

BEIJING (AP) — China launched a scathing attack on the U.S. and NATO on Wednesday, days before a meeting between U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian’s comments underscore the increasingly fractious relationship, along with China’s increasingly confrontational approach to foreign relations that heatedly rejects criticism.
At last week’s NATO summit in Spain, Blinken accused China of “seeking to undermine the rules-based international order.”
In his comments Wednesday, Zhao said the “so-called rules-based international order is actually a family rule made by a handful of countries to serve the U.S. self-interest.”
Washington “observes international rules only as it sees fit,” he said, adding that NATO “must renounce its blind faith in military might.”
U.S.-China relations are dominated by disputes over issues from trade and human rights to Taiwan and Beijing’s territorial claims in the South China Sea.
Meanwhile, China has refused to condemn Russia’s four-month-long war against Ukraine, criticized sanctions brought against Moscow by NATO members and accused Washington and its allies of provoking the conflict.
Russia and China have strengthened political, economic and military ties, while aligning their foreign policies to oppose the influence of liberal democracies. Weeks before Russia’s February invasion, Chinese leader Xi Jinping hosted his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin for a meeting at which they pledged a partnership that had “no limits.”
At its summit, NATO for the first time singled out China as one of its strategic priorities for the next decade.
“China is substantially building up its military forces, including nuclear weapons, bullying its neighbors, threatening Taiwan … monitoring and controlling its own citizens through advanced technology, and spreading Russian lies and disinformation,” Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said after presenting NATO’s 10-year Strategic Concept.
In his comments at Wednesday’s daily briefing, Zhao said the U.S. “has been working closely with NATO to hype up competition with China and stoke group confrontation.”
“The history of NATO is the one about creating conflicts and waging wars … arbitrarily launching wars and killing innocent civilians, even to this day,” Zhao said. “Facts have proven that it is not China that poses a systemic challenge to NATO, and instead it is NATO that brings a looming systemic challenge to world peace and security.”
Blinken is expected to meet with Wang on Saturday at a meeting of foreign ministers from the Group of 20 leading rich and developing nations on the Indonesian island of Bali. | https://wgntv.com/news/international/ap-international/ahead-of-g-20-ministers-meeting-china-slams-us-nato/ | 2022-07-06T12:00:11Z | https://wgntv.com/news/international/ap-international/ahead-of-g-20-ministers-meeting-china-slams-us-nato/ | false |

Nielsen's global ROI Report delivers insights and recommendations for advertisers, agencies and publishers to increase returns on investment in media plans
NEW YORK, July 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Nielsen (NYSE: NLSN) released its first-ever ROI Report, which identified gaps in marketers' budgets, channels and media strategies that are compromising returns on investment (ROI) on media plans. The global report reveals data and delivers insights on what drives returns on ad spends, how to measure the returns, and how to improve on the metrics brands already have, with content unique to advertiser, agency and publisher audiences.
According to the report, about half of marketers are not spending enough in a channel to get maximum ROI. While a poor ROI might cause brands to pull back on spending, Nielsen found that spend often needs to be higher to break through and drive returns. Nielsen's "50-50-50 Gap" states that while 50% of media plans are underinvested by a median of 50%, ROI can be improved 50% with the ideal budget.
Beyond budgeting, the ROI Report delivers key insights and recommendations to deliver higher ROI across multiple marketing areas including:
- Full funnel marketing: It is rare for channels to deliver above-average returns for both brand and sales outcomes, with 36% of media channels faring above average on both revenue and brand metrics. To grow ROI, brands should pursue a balanced strategy for both upper and lower funnel initiatives. Nielsen found that adding upper-funnel marketing to existing lower- and mid-funnel marketing can grow overall ROI by 13-70%.
- Emerging media: It is difficult for brands to spend big amounts without proof that the new media works, but spending small amounts can make it hard to see if the media is working. Nielsen found that podcast ads, influencer marketing and branded content can deliver over 70% in aided brand recall, and that influencer marketing ROI is comparable to ROI from mainstream media.
- Ad sales growth strategy: Ultimately, ROI will inform publisher pricing power. Publishers are not just competing against others in their channel, but also against other channels, so comparing channel ROIs can help set pricing strategy. The ROI Report uncovered that social media delivers 1.7x the ROI of TV, yet social gets less than one-third of TV ad budgets.
- Audience measurement: Campaigns with strong on-target reach deliver better sales outcomes. However, only 63% of ads across desktop and mobile are on-target for age and gender in the U.S., meaning that on the channels with the most exhaustive data coverage and quality, over one-third of ad spend is off-target. To capitalize on opportunity and drive impact, advertisers should prioritize measurement solutions that cover all platforms and devices, with near-real time insights.
"Nielsen's 2022 ROI Report serves as a guide for brands, agencies and publishers. In a time when there are more channels than ever to reach desired audiences, it's critical that insights on ROI are attainable and easy to understand," said Imran Hirani, Vice President, Media & Advertiser Analytics, Nielsen. "Brands can't afford to waste valuable ads on the wrong audiences. By investing wisely and having a balanced strategy of both upper-funnel and lower-funnel initiatives, brands can reach the right audiences and maximize their ROI."
This is the first ROI Report produced by Nielsen. The ROI Report findings were generated by Nielsen using a wide range of measurement methods including Marketing Mix Models, Brand Impact studies, marketing plans and expenditure data, attribution studies, and Ad Ratings collected in recent years. In most cases, Nielsen's findings were organized into normative databases or meta-analyses across a sample of studies to produce insights that are representative of Nielsen's experience, providing marketers, agencies and media sellers a more complete view of media effectiveness compared to a single company drawing from its own experience.

Noah Cyrus has revealed she’s been “in recovery” for two years as she opens up about her battle with addiction.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, the 22-year-old sister of Miley Cyrus shared for the first time that she’s been recovering from a Xanax addiction for two years.
Noah said she first tried Xanax when she was just 18 – when her then-boyfriend offered it to her.
View this post on Instagram
“My boyfriend at the time, when I was 18, was the first person that gave me a Xanax, and it became a way for us to bond,” she told Rolling Stone.
“I think I wanted to fit in with him. I wanted to be what he wanted and what he thought was cool and what I thought everybody was doing.”
The singer admitted that she continued taking the drug when she “felt that it was possible to silence things out for a second and numb your pain.”
Noah explained that she was “surrounded by people who were easily able to get it by buying it from people,” which accelerated her addiction.
View this post on Instagram
However, her Xanax addiction became “this dark pit, bottomless pit,” in which she’d spend most of the day in bed, struggled with her memory, and wasn’t sure which day it was.
When the pandemic happened, the singer’s addiction became worse, as she started to pass out in the middle of an interview, and was blindsided by her grandmother’s death.
“I felt so guilty for not being there when my grandma died,” she said. “I was there physically, but emotionally, I was not there. I couldn’t be.”
“That was my big eye-opener: I was sitting alone, and I was scared, and I realized that all the people that I love and all the people that I need, I was the one pushing them away,” she said of her mother Tish, whom she was unable to comfort after the passing of her grandmother.
View this post on Instagram
Shortly after her realisation, Noah began seeking help for her addiction struggle.
“I was being helped by everybody that I needed help from, and it took some time to get on my own two feet.”
The singer described how working on her debut album ‘The Hardest Part’, helped her to heal.
“It gave me so much structure in the time that I really needed structure, because I didn’t want to just be sitting around and stirring in my brain. It gave me hope,” she explained.
View this post on Instagram
Her battle with addiction is apparent in the lyrics of her track ‘Noah (Stand Still)’, which read, “When I turned 20 / I was overcome with the thought that I might not turn 21 / Death upon my doorstep / If I took just one more step / There’d be nothing left of me except these songs.”
“It was coming out in my lyrics,” she says. “So, it’s like, ‘I’m not going to hide my truth.’ I think it was evident that I was going through something the past couple years — I think my fans saw it. I think the public could see it.”
Once her battle had begun manifesting in her songs, Noah decided it was time to open up about her struggles publicly.
“I’m not trying to be, like, any spokesperson for recovery or anything like that,” she said. “I, myself, am just going through it and figuring it out.” | https://goss.ie/la-showbiz/noah-cyrus-opens-up-about-her-battle-with-addiction-302820 | 2022-07-06T12:11:02Z | https://goss.ie/la-showbiz/noah-cyrus-opens-up-about-her-battle-with-addiction-302820 | false |

Not just in name—a legacy that continues to this day—but the idea of celebrating and sharing the passion of life on two wheels with the world. This is what drives us, inspires us, and keeps us close.

Viva! Spain bull-running fiesta returns after pandemic pause
Issued on:
Pamplona (Spain) (AFP) – A red-and-white sea of revellers erupted in celebration Wednesday, dousing each other with wine in a packed Pamplona square as Spain's most famous bull-running festival returned after a two-year absence due to the pandemic.
The launch of a firecracker known as the "chupinazo" from the balcony of the northern city's town hall at noon (1000 GMT) marked the official start of the nine-day San Fermin fiesta, kicking off the bedlam.
Thousands of party-goers from around the world -- most dressed in the traditional all-white outfit with a red scarf -- responded ecstatically, screaming "Viva San Fermin!" and spraying each other with wine.
Despite a light rain falling, the throng cheered wildly as they waved their red scarves in the air and passed giant yellow inflatable balls over their heads as scores looked on from crowded apartment balconies.
"The rain doesn't matter. Seeing the square full again is terrific," said Saioa Guembe Pena, 54-year-old civil servant whose white shirt was stained pink with wine.
The annual festival, made famous by Ernest Hemingway's 1926 novel "The Sun Also Rises", was last held in 2019.
Local officials called off the hugely popular event in 2020 and the following year because of the Covid-19 pandemic -- the first time the festival was cancelled since Spain's civil war in the 1930s.
Many revellers started drinking early, sitting at outdoor patios or wandering Pamplona's narrow, cobbled streets with large bottles of sangria hours before the "chupinazo".
The festival, which dates back to medieval times, features concerts, religious processions, folk dancing and round-the-clock drinking.
But the highlight is the bracing daily test of courage against a thundering pack of half-tonne, sharp-horned bulls.
Every day at 8:00 am, hundreds of daredevils race with six fighting bulls along an 850-metre (2,800-foot) course from a holding pen to Pamplona's bull ring, which this year marks its 100th anniversary.
The bravest -- or most foolhardy -- run as close as possible to the bulls' horns, preferably without being gored.
The first bull run, which traditionally draws the largest number of participants, is on Thursday.
Dozens of people are hurt every year, although most injuries are caused by runners falling or being trampled by the bulls.
The last death was in 2009 when a bull gored a 27-year-old Spaniard in the neck, heart and lungs.

Expanding Mercer Advisors' Southeast Presence
DENVER, July 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Mercer Global Advisors, Inc. ("Mercer Advisors"), a national Registered Investment Adviser (RIA), today announced the acquisition of Starks Financial Group, Inc. ("Starks"). Starks is a respected financial planning and wealth management firm located in Asheville, North Carolina, with assets under management (AUM) of approximately $250 million.
Since Dawn Starks, CFP® founded Starks Financial Group in 1999, they have helped numerous clients understand and manage their money. Their team of financial planners believes in the empowerment that accompanies financial literacy – understanding how resources can work hard to help reach financial goals. Financial planners help navigate life's twists and turns.
Commenting on the transaction, Dawn Starks stated: "My partner Jennifer Adams, CFP®, Vice President, and I are proud of the comprehensive wealth management firm we have built. As a women-owned and operated firm, we understand the unique challenges facing women. As a result, we have built a practice that not only serves the interests of women, but those of same sex partners, along with others seeking our brand of deep financial planning. We were also at that age and stage of needing to put together a succession plan for our practice to help ensure uninterrupted care for our clients should something unforeseen happen to either of us. We learned of Mercer Advisors as a potential acquiring partner because several of our peers had been acquired by them, and David Barton, Vice Chairman and Leader of Mergers and Acquisitions at Mercer Advisors, spearheaded all of those transactions. After meeting with David, we knew we had found the right partner for us. We loved their family office services and the fact that Mercer Advisors would take over time-consuming back-office work. But what really impressed us was their investment and attention to many women's advancement initiatives, including their "InvestHers" platform supporting women's groups across the organization and beyond. The cultural fit between our firms could not be higher."
David Barton, Vice Chairman, who led the acquisition of Starks on behalf of Mercer Advisors, stated: "Dawn and Jennifer are doing pioneering work building and supporting the advancement of financial independence for women and are exactly the quality of financial planners we are seeking to add to our team. As a service business, you are only as good as your people, and our industry is talent starved. In Starks, we are adding highly qualified new team members, which is a primary aim of our M&A strategy ~ adding needed talent to support our growth."
Dave Welling, Chief Executive Officer of Mercer Advisors, said, "Dawn and Jennifer have built a great business and a strong team, and they are highly respected in our industry and in their community. As a women founded, owned, and led firm, they will join with the nine other women-led firms who have chosen Mercer Advisors as their new home and add to the ranks of our advisory team which is already over 50% women. We are thrilled to be expanding in North Carolina and look forward to working together to help deliver meaningful results for our shared clients."

LONDON, ON, July 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Odd Burger Corporation (TSXV: ODD) (OTCQB: ODDAF) (FSE: IA9) one of the world's first vegan fast-food chains and the first to go public, today announced it has secured land in London, ON for the development of a new 50,000 sq. ft. food manufacturing facility.
The 5.5 acre parcel of land was purchased from the City of London and approved by City Council on July 5, 2022. The site is located on Innovation Drive, an Industrial Park created by the City of London in order to attract innovative and sustainable manufacturing businesses to the region. The site is fully serviced by municipal services including water, sewage, storm drainage and has access to sufficient electricity and natural gas utilities. The land will initially house a 50,000 sq. ft. new building, and can be expanded to nearly 150,000 sq. ft. of building space as the need arises to increase manufacturing capacity in the future.
The new facility, when completed, is expected to be operated by Odd Burger's food technology and manufacturing subsidiary, Preposterous Foods Inc., and is anticpated to produce the Company's line of innovative plant-based proteins and dairy-free sauces. The increased capacity, when completed, at the new facility will allow Preposterous Foods to support hundreds of Odd Burger franchised restaurant locations across North America, as well as supply select products to external food service customers. With the new expansion, Preposterous Foods also plans to launch a retail product line, which will be targeted for sale in grocery stores and direct-to-consumer sales channels.
Odd Burger worked closely with the London Economic Development Corporation (LEDC) to secure the Land Purchase Agreement from the City of London and will continue this partnership throughout the construction process as well as into the operational phase of the facility.
"We are thrilled to commence this next chapter of growth for our company and we believe that London is the best place in the world to execute our vision for a more sustainable future," said James McInnes, Co-Founder and CEO of Odd Burger. "We will be creating one of Canada's most advanced plant-based food manufacturing facilities and we believe that through this investment we will be able to make a tremendous change in the industry by creating more affordable, healthy and sustainable food."
"Odd Burger is an innovative addition to our thriving proteins cluster in London," said Kapil Lakhotia, President & CEO of LEDC. "Our industrial lands, infrastructure, talent and supply chains continue to put London on the radar for sustainable food production and plant-based proteins development."
Preposterous Foods has engaged Mallot Creek Group Inc. to assist the company with plant design and equipment specifications, as well as process engineering. Mallot Creek is one of Canada's premier food and beverage manufacturing experts and has been involved in some of Canada's largest industrial food projects. Once the design phase is complete with Mallot Creek, Preposterous Foods will submit permits to the City of London and begin the construction process. The facility should take between one to two years to build once permits are approved and is expected to create between 50-100 jobs in London, ON once fully operational.
"This investment by Odd Burger is just the latest in a long list of recent examples demonstrating why London's economy continues to be among the best in all of Canada," said Josh Morgan, Acting Mayor of London, ON. "As a Council, and with strong support from LEDC, we have worked exceptionally hard to ensure businesses and industries choose London when it comes time to launch or expand their operations. On behalf of Council, I wish Odd Burger nothing but success in the years to come."
In March, 2022 Odd Burger signed an Area Representative Agreement with Sai-Ganesh Enterprises to bring 36 additional locations to Alberta and British Columbia over the next 7 years. In June, 2022 Odd Burger signed a second Area Representative Agreement for Ontario with Starke Corporation that will bring 40 new locations to the province over 8 years. In total, Odd Burger has 92 locations operational or under Area Representative Agreements in Canada, making it one of the fastest growing vegan restaurant chains in the country. Odd Burger is also seeking similar development agreements in the U.S., as it plans to launch its first set of locations outside of Canada.
Securing Area Representative Agreements in territories throughout North America provides Odd Burger with contractual growth targets. These agreements allow the company to better project its manufacturing needs in the future and make strategic investments to meet this demand.

Illinois July 4 parade shooting suspect to appear in court; faces 7 counts of first-degree murder
The man suspected of killing seven people and wounding dozens at a Fourth of July parade in Illinois is expected to make his first court appearance Wednesday.
And while another community reels after a shocking mass shooting on the nation's birthday, local officials have begun questioning how the suspect was able to purchase weapons given his previous encounters with law enforcement.
Robert E. Crimo III, 21, faces seven counts of first-degree murder "for the killing spree he has unleashed against our community," Lake County State's Attorney Eric Rinehart said at a news conference Tuesday. A conviction would result in a sentence of life imprisonment without parole, he said.
"These are just the first of many charges that will be filed against Mr. Crimo. I want to emphasize that," Rinehart said, and prosecutors will ask a judge to deny bail.
The suspect, according to authorities, opened fire from a building rooftop in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park as the parade got underway just after 10 a.m. CT on Monday. More than 70 high-velocity rounds were fired by a rifle "similar to an AR-15," according to Lake County Major Crime Task Force spokesperson Chris Covelli, and the gunman then fled the area.

Five of the individuals shot at the parade were pronounced dead at the scene, officials said, and two people hospitalized succumbed to wounds sustained. A total of 39 patients were transported to medical facilities "by either ambulance or other means," according to Jim Anthony with NorthShore University Health System, and nine patients — whose ages range from 14 to in their 70s — remain hospitalized in their health system as of Tuesday afternoon.
Crimo allegedly had another rifle in his vehicle when he was pulled over by police hours after the shooting, Covelli said, and other firearms were recovered from his residence in nearby Highwood.
Crimo is believed by authorities to have planned the attack for weeks, and the rifle used appears to have been purchased legally in Illinois, he said.
Yet information released by state and local police shows the suspect previously required officer intervention over threats of violence and mental health concerns.
Crimo had two encounters with police in 2019 over fears for his safety and that of others, information that prompted the city's mayor to wonder how Crimo was able to later legally obtain firearms.
The Highland Park Police Department received a report in April 2019 that Crimo had earlier attempted suicide, Covelli said Tuesday. Police spoke with Crimo and his parents and the matter was handled by mental health professionals, he said.
In September that year, a family member reported that Crimo threatened "to kill everyone" and had a collection of knives, Covelli said. Police removed 16 knives, a dagger and a sword from their residence. Highland Park police reported the incident to Illinois State Police, which said in a news release Tuesday that family members were not willing to file additional complaints.
The knives confiscated by Highland Park police were returned the same day after Crimo's father claimed they were his, ISP said.
Over the next two years, Crimo legally purchased five firearms, according to Covelli — a combination of rifles, a pistol and possibly a shotgun. ISP confirmed Tuesday that Crimo passed four background checks between June 2020 and September 2021 when purchasing firearms, which included checks of the federal National Instant Criminal Background Check System.
In order to buy firearms in Illinois, individuals need a Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card. Crimo was under 21, so he was sponsored by his father, state police said. Crimo's application was not denied because there was "insufficient basis to establish a clear and present danger" at the time.
The only criminal offense included in Crimo's criminal history was a January 2016 ordinance violation for possession of tobacco, police said, which occurred when he was a juvenile.
Highland Park Mayor Nancy Rotering — who said she knew the suspect as a boy in Cub Scouts — said she is "looking forward to an explanation" of how Crimo was able to obtain firearms, saying Highland Park police filed the necessary reports.
"We know that in other countries people suffer from mental illness, they suffer from anger, maybe they play violent video games, but they can't get their hands on these weapons of war and they can't bring this kind of carnage to their hometowns. This has to stop," the mayor told CNN's Anderson Cooper on Tuesday, noting the state has "red flag" laws but that people need to speak up if they see warning signs from individuals.

Investigators are working on determining a motive.
One detail that emerged about Crimo was that he was present at a Passover service in April at Central Avenue Synagogue in Highland Park, according to a congregation official. He "didn't look familiar" and left on his own, the official told CNN.
Officials currently "have no information to suggest at this point it was racially motivated, motivated by religion, or any other protected status," Covelli said. | https://www.wvtm13.com/article/highland-park-illinois-july-4-parade-shooting/40521596 | 2022-07-06T12:23:29Z | https://www.wvtm13.com/article/highland-park-illinois-july-4-parade-shooting/40521596 | true |
