The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) has opted to pull investments from five energy corporations, joining other faith-based groups in targeting fossil-fuel companies over what they say are failures to address climate change.
The denomination’s General Assembly, meeting online, voted overwhelmingly this week for a resolution targeting Chevron, ExxonMobil, Marathon Petroleum, Phillips 66, and Valero Energy for divestment.
Presbyterian officials have in recent years sought to persuade several fossil fuel companies to take steps to reduce greenhouse gases. The resolution said these efforts “did not produce enough substantial change or movement” by the five corporations now targeted for divestment.
The church’s investments are a small fraction of a percent of the five corporations’ market capitalization. But supporters of divestment said it would send a message and help spur corporations to change policies in response to climate change.
Numerous, mostly progressive faith-based groups in various countries — including religious orders, dioceses and denominations such as the Episcopal Church and the Unitarian Universalist Association — have decided on partial or full divestment from fossil-fuel companies, according to Global Fossil Fuels Divestment Commitments Database, a website maintained by climate advocacy groups.
The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), based in Louisville, Kentucky, is the largest Presbyterian denomination in the country, though it has struggled with decades of membership losses. It reported a 2021 membership of 1.2 million.

Japan’s ex-leader Shinzo Abe assassinated during a speech
TOKYO (AP) — Former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was assassinated Friday on a street in western Japan by a gunman who opened fire on him from behind as he delivered a campaign speech — an attack that stunned a nation with some of the strictest gun control laws anywhere.
The 67-year-old Abe, who was Japan’s longest-serving leader when he resigned in 2020, collapsed bleeding and was airlifted to a nearby hospital in Nara, although he was not breathing and his heart had stopped. He was later pronounced dead after receiving massive blood transfusions, officials said.
A hearse carrying Abe’s body left the hospital early Saturday to head back to his home in Tokyo. Abe’s wife Akie lowered her head as the vehicle passed before a crowd of journalists.
Nara Medical University emergency department chief Hidetada Fukushima said Abe suffered major damage to his heart, along with two neck wounds that damaged an artery. He never regained his vital signs, Fukushima said.
Police at the shooting scene arrested Tetsuya Yamagami, 41, a former member of Japan’s navy, on suspicion of murder. Police said he used a gun that was obviously homemade — about 15 inches (40 centimeters) long — and they confiscated similar weapons and his personal computer when they raided his nearby one-room apartment.
Police said Yamagami was responding calmly to questions and had admitted to attacking Abe, telling investigators he had plotted to kill him because he believed rumors about the former leader’s connection to a certain organization that police did not identify.
Dramatic video from broadcaster NHK showed Abe standing and giving a speech outside a train station ahead of Sunday’s parliamentary election. As he raised his fist to make a point, two gunshots rang out, and he collapsed holding his chest, his shirt smeared with blood as security guards ran toward him. Guards then leapt onto the gunman, who was face down on the pavement, and a double-barreled weapon was seen nearby.
Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and his Cabinet ministers hastily returned to Tokyo from campaign events elsewhere after the shooting, which he called “dastardly and barbaric.” He pledged that the election, which chooses members for Japan’s less-powerful upper house of parliament, would go on as planned.
“I use the harshest words to condemn (the act),” Kishida said, struggling to control his emotions. He said the government would review the security situation, but added that Abe had the highest protection.
Even though he was out of office, Abe was still highly influential in the governing Liberal Democratic Party and headed its largest faction, Seiwakai, but his ultra-nationalist views made him a divisive figure to many.
Opposition leaders condemned the attack as a challenge to Japan’s democracy. Kenta Izumi, head of the top opposition Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan, called it “an act of terrorism” and said it “tried to quash the freedom of speech ... actually causing a situation where (Abe’s) speech can never be heard again.”
In Tokyo, people stopped to buy extra editions of newspapers or watch TV coverage of the shooting. Flowers were placed at the shooting scene in Nara.
When he resigned as prime minister, Abe blamed a recurrence of the ulcerative colitis he’d had since he was a teenager. He said then it was difficult to leave many of his goals unfinished, especially his failure to resolve the issue of Japanese abducted years ago by North Korea, a territorial dispute with Russia, and a revision of Japan’s war-renouncing constitution.
That ultra-nationalism riled the Koreas and China, and his push to create what he saw as a more normal defense posture angered many Japanese. Abe failed to achieve his cherished goal of formally rewriting the U.S.-drafted pacifist constitution because of poor public support.
Loyalists said his legacy was a stronger U.S.-Japan relationship that was meant to bolster Japan’s defense capability. But Abe made enemies by forcing his defense goals and other contentious issues through parliament, despite strong public opposition.
Abe was groomed to follow in the footsteps of his grandfather, former Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi. His political rhetoric often focused on making Japan a “normal” and “beautiful” nation with a stronger military and bigger role in international affairs.
Tributes to Abe poured in from world leaders, with many expressing shock and sorrow. U.S. President Joe Biden praised him, saying “his vision of a free and open Indo-Pacific will endure. Above all, he cared deeply about the Japanese people and dedicated his life to their service.”
On Saturday, Biden called Kishida and expressed outrage, sadness and deep condolences on the shooting death of Abe. Biden noted the importance of Abe’s legacy including through the establishment of the Quad meetings of Japan, the U.S., Australia and India. Biden voiced confidence in the strength of Japan’s democracy and the two leaders discussed how Abe’s legacy will live on as the two allies continue to defend peace and democracy, according to the White House.
Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel, whose tenure from 2005-21 largely overlapped with Abe’s, said she was devastated by the “cowardly and vile assassination.” Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared Saturday a day of national mourning for Abe, and U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres tweeted that he would remember him for “his collegiality & commitment to multilateralism.”
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian declined to comment, other than to say Beijing offered sympathies to Abe’s family and that the shooting shouldn’t be linked to bilateral relations. But social media posts from the country were harsh, with some calling the gunman a “hero” — reflecting strong sentiment against right-wing Japanese politicians who question or deny that Japan’s military committed wartime atrocities in China.
Biden, who is dealing with a summer of mass shootings in the U.S., also said “gun violence always leaves a deep scar on the communities that are affected by it.”
Japan is particularly known for its strict gun laws. With a population of 125 million, it had only 10 gun-related criminal cases last year, resulting in one death and four injuries, according to police. Eight of those cases were gang-related. Tokyo had no gun incidents, injuries or deaths in the same year, although 61 guns were seized.
Abe was proud of his work to strengthen Japan’s security alliance with the U.S. and shepherding the first visit by a serving U.S. president, Barack Obama, to the atom-bombed city of Hiroshima. He also helped Tokyo gain the right to host the 2020 Olympics by pledging that a disaster at the Fukushima nuclear plant was “under control” when it was not.
He became Japan’s youngest prime minister in 2006, at age 52, but his overly nationalistic first stint abruptly ended a year later, also because of his health.
The end of Abe’s scandal-laden first stint as prime minister was the beginning of six years of annual leadership change, remembered as an era of “revolving door” politics that lacked stability.
When he returned to office in 2012, Abe vowed to revitalize the nation and get its economy out of its deflationary doldrums with his “Abenomics” formula, which combines fiscal stimulus, monetary easing and structural reforms.
He won six national elections and built a rock-solid grip on power, bolstering Japan’s defense role and capability and its security alliance with the U.S. He also stepped up patriotic education at schools and raised Japan’s international profile.

China calls for sticking to true multilateralism at G20 meeting in Indonesia
BALI, Indonesia, July 8 (Xinhua) -- Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Friday called on countries to stick to true multilateralism and develop a constructive partnership at this challenging time.
Wang made the remarks at the Group of 20 (G20) foreign ministers' meeting held in Bali, Indonesia on Friday.
First, countries should be partners with mutual respect and consultation on an equal footing, Wang said. International affairs should be dealt with through consultations among countries, and international rules should be jointly made and observed.
It is the consensus of the international community that in the world, there is only one system that is the international system with the United Nations at its core, and only one order that is the international order based on the international law, Wang noted.
Second, countries should be partners of peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation, Wang said. Only when one country values the security of others and safeguards the security of all can it really achieve its own security. A country putting its own security above the security of others and strengthening military blocs can only lead to division in the international community, and make itself less safe, Wang said.
Third, countries should be partners for openness, inclusiveness, and inter-connectivity, Wang said. Country-to-country competition should be fair, it should not be vicious competition or even malicious confrontation, Wang noted, adding that the exclusive policy of "small yard, high fence" runs counter to the trend of the times and is only doomed to failure.

Second-half surge carries Minnesota United past Whitecaps
Minnesota United erupted for three goals in 17 minutes late in the second half to rally for a 3-1 win against the host Vancouver Whitecaps on Friday.
Vancouver (7-9-3, 24 points) lost for the first time in four games after two wins and a draw.
Lucas Cavallani, the Whitecaps' leading scorer, came on as a substitute in the 63rd minute and made it 1-0 three minutes later.
Loons defender Kemar Lawrence tied in the 71st minute. Luis Amarilla gave Minnesota (8-8-3, 27 points) the lead in the 84th minute, and Franco Fragapane added an insurance tally four minutes later as the Loons won their third straight, scoring three goals in each contest.
Amarilla broke the tie with a laser from 25 yards after a turnover. Fragapane took a pass from Dayne St. Clair and scored his second goal of the season.
The teams not only entered with identical records but they were even in the all-time series at 3-3-3.
A languid first half reflected that closeness with neither side able to establish dominance or dangerous chances until Minnesota made several forays into the box in the final minute.
Wil Trapp laced an 18-yard strike that forced Vancouver goalkeeper Cody Cropper to dive to his right for his lone save in the opening 45 minutes. After a Minnesota corner, Trapp and Emanuel Reynoso had shots blocked.
The breakthrough goal came when Cavallini scored his sixth goal on a knockdown header from 8 yards. Pedro Vite had the first primary assist with a cross from the right flank after taking a setup pass from Ryan Raposo.
The Whitecaps had visions of a fourth straight shutout, but those were dashed on a well-crafted play by Minnesota. Reynoso passed to D.J. Taylor on the right side, and his service found Lawrence at the far post to make it 1-1.
Each team plays Wednesday when Vancouver plays at FC Cincinnati while the Loons host Sporting Kansas City.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Louisiana can now enforce its ban on almost all abortions under a judge’s order issued Friday amid a flurry of court challenges to state “trigger” laws crafted to take effect when the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
The decision came the same day President Joe Biden issued an executive order to protect access to abortion in states where it is still legal and mitigate the potential penalties women seeking the procedure may face after the high court’s ruling on June 24.
Days after the Supreme Court decision, Louisiana District Judge Robin Giarrusso issued a temporary restraining order banning enforcement of the state legislation in response to a lawsuit filed by a north Louisiana abortion clinic and others.
State District Judge Ethel Julien said Friday that she did not have the authority to extend the restraining order because she had concluded the suit should not have been filed in her court. She said the suit’s claims that provisions in the law are unconstitutionally vague and inconsistent are matters involving legislation, and therefore should be heard in state court in the capital, Baton Rouge.
The ruling was a victory for Attorney General Jeff Landry and lawyers for the state, who argued that the lawsuit had been improperly filed in New Orleans.
Attorneys for the law’s challengers did not detail their next step, but said they would continue to press the case in Baton Rouge. “This was a decision on a technicality that had nothing to do with the merits of our case, which were not discussed or considered by the parties or the court today,” said lead attorney Joanna Wright. “This fight is far from over.”
Immediately after Julien ruled, Amy Irvin, a spokeswoman for abortion clinics in New Orleans and Baton Rouge said no procedures or counseling were scheduled at either in the coming days. However, she added that the decision doesn’t mean the clinics will shut down. She said clinic operators would await action at the state court in Baton Rouge before deciding their next action.
The administrator of the Hope Medical Group for Women in Shreveport, the lead plaintiff in the lawsuit, told The Associated Press that clinic staff were canceling all abortion appointments scheduled for Saturday. Kathaleen Pittman said no procedures or consultations had been scheduled for Friday. She said the clinic would continue to schedule appointments for women to receive ultrasounds and counseling next week.
“It’s upsetting. It’s very difficult. It’s a very difficult day indeed,” Pittman said.
At the courthouse, Landry cautioned clinics and doctors against providing abortions following Julien’s ruling. “If they continue to operate, they do so under their own risk,” Landry said.
About 60 protesters gathered outside the courthouse Friday waving signs that read, “Abortion is healthcare” and “Do you want women to die?” The demonstrators, who want to keep the state’s abortion clinics open, criticized Landry, who has been a staunch defender of efforts to outlaw abortion across the state.
Abortion rights advocates in numerous states have filed court challenges to laws restricting the procedure. In Mississippi, home of the case that led to the Supreme Court decision, attorneys for the state’s sole abortion clinic filed a petition on Thursday asking the state’s highest court to temporarily block a new law that bans most abortions. The attorneys made the request on the day the law took effect and two days after a Mississippi judge rejected the same request.

The story has been edited to clarify that Julien did not lift the order, per se, but said she had no authority to extend it after determining the case didn’t belong in her court.

Japan’s ex-leader Shinzo Abe assassinated during a speech
TOKYO (AP) — The body of Japan’s former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe returns to Tokyo after he was fatally shot during a speech Friday.
THIS AN AP BREAKING NEWS ALERT. AP’s previous story follows below.
TOKYO (AP) — Former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was assassinated Friday on a street in western Japan by a gunman who opened fire on him from behind as he delivered a campaign speech — an attack that stunned a nation with some of the strictest gun control laws anywhere.

WENTWORTH — Rockingham County High School experienced a bit of a double-whammy this week after losing two quality varsity sports coaches. | https://greensboro.com/2-bedroom-home-in-burlington---427-900/article_36503c93-c0fd-56a6-8b05-be2a2af75c6c.html | 2022-07-09T06:04:45Z | https://greensboro.com/2-bedroom-home-in-burlington---427-900/article_36503c93-c0fd-56a6-8b05-be2a2af75c6c.html | true |
Top Corsair headsets
It might be easy to mistake American hardware maker Corsair’s logo for three stylized figures walking in line, but there is no mistaking the excellent audio quality of its headsets.
The company has been making accessories and peripherals since 1994, and its distinct logo is a nod to the origin of its name. A corsair was a privateer and essentially a pirate, and the logo is three ship sails behind each other.
But it hasn’t had to plunder or raid other manufacturers to become one of the best in the gaming industry. That is done through high-quality components, excellent manufacturing and affordable gadgets.
Wired vs. wireless
There are two types of headsets from Corsair, and generally from all headset makers:
- Wired: These headsets connect to your gaming platform or computer through a 3.5-millimeter connection. For Xbox and PlayStation, the headset plugs into the controller, while it connects directly to the computer. Wired headsets don’t need recharging but somewhat limit your movement.
- Wireless: These headsets connect to your platform of choice through Bluetooth or a 2.4-gigahertz wireless connection. It is also common to find that certain wireless headsets can function as wired, too.
A thing to note, though, is that Microsoft uses a proprietary wireless system. So even though a headset says it’s wireless, that doesn’t mean it will work on the Xbox as well as it does on the PlayStation. To function with Microsoft’s console, it must be certified for Xbox One use.
But there are ways around that. Most headset makers throw in a wireless adapter with their audio device, which connects to the Xbox through a USB port. The wireless headset then connects to the adapter to provide you with sound.
Audio quality
For many gamers, the audio quality of the headset is the most important feature. The overwhelming majority of Corsair headsets feature large 50-millimeter speakers that help with sound quality.
Larger speakers can produce a wider range of audio frequencies, making 7.1 surround sound not only possible but also impressive. The technology lets you hear the faintest of sounds, so you can determine the exact origin and direction.
Affordable headsets tend to only have stereo sound, which isn’t nearly as good as surround. Stereo lets you hear audio on both channels, but you won’t be able to tell exactly where the sound comes from — you’ll only know if it’s to the left or right of you.
Comfort
A headset must be comfortable to wear for prolonged periods. Crucial elements are the padding on the headband and the softness of the ear cups. If neither can support long use, you could experience pressure or tension.
Especially on the cups, check that they are covered in a breathable fabric to keep moisture from accumulating. In rare cases, excess moisture can cause pain or ear infection.
While the padding on the headband is vital, a good-quality headset has an adjustable headband so it can fit snugly. The ear cups should reach the ears comfortably, without putting pressure on your skull.
But when you take them off, they should also be comfortable. You don’t want large ear cups on your collarbone to restrict your head movement when taking a break. If that’s a concern for you, look for a headset with rotating or swivel ear cups. This lets you rest the headset flat against your upper chest.

The first guy in line to buy a piece of Hollywood showed up at 5:30 a.m. for the 9 a.m. estate sale.
Many others followed by the time the doors opened at the site of the former Kmart on St. Michael’s Drive. Some were driven by the hope of landing a bargain. Some came to buy furniture for their homes.
And some came to purchase a token from a popular cult television series set and shot in New Mexico.
Roswell, New Mexico, that is. The CW network recently canceled the show — about a young woman in Roswell who falls in love with an alien being (after all, it is Roswell) — after four seasons.
Some 13,000 items — props, set dressings, costumes and furniture — are being sold this weekend at the former big-box department store, where the production team set up both a studio set and prop shop during the show’s run.
As staffers from Stephen’s A Consignment Gallery opened the doors for shoppers — who numbered close to 400 by 9:30 a.m. — many eagerly grabbed shopping carts and took to the aisles like early birds on Black Friday.
“Whee, this is fun!” screamed one young woman as she grabbed a shopping cart and briskly skipped through aisles full of this, that and the other.
Another woman, also armed with a shopping cart, let loose with a series of jumps as she ran through the store, yelling, “Kmart! Kmart!”
Others were more subdued as they piled their carts with paraphernalia ranging from pillows to mannequin parts to flying saucer lamps to vinyl records to retro appliances like old radios, rotary phones and cassette players.
You can even find cassettes at the sale — including one featuring the greatest hits of Fabian and Frankie Avalon, the sort of thing only a man from Mars might like to listen to today.
You can also uncover cool props from the show, like a mock Roswell Sheriff’s Department police report, gas masks and military items.
Roswell, New Mexico production designer Guy Barnes said this is the first estate sale tied to a television series shot in the state that has happened in Santa Fe. While he expected the event to attract “some fanboys,” he thinks the buyers will “mostly be the public looking for a bargain.”
Luke Aikey was one of those folks. He said he just moved back to Santa Fe and is hunting for furniture. “My house is empty,” he said as he waited in line before the doors opened.
“I’ve never seen the show,” he added, “but I have been in Roswell. The fact that this [sale] is tied to the TV show doesn’t mean a lot to me.”
He scored a couch, a cutting board and a laundry basket within the first half hour and was eyeing a 1960s- or ’70s-era red motorbike with a sale price of $800. He didn’t need it, he said, but it sure looked inviting.
Other people who attended the sale said they just wanted to shop for possible bargains in a now-closed store they used to frequent.
“I don’t even know what I’m looking for,” one woman pushing an empty shopping cart said as she wandered the aisles.
Patience Pollock, an artist from Santa Fe, was hoping to restock her home as she prepares to host her own garage sale next weekend. She said she is not a fan of Roswell, New Mexico, but rather a collector of things made of cast iron. She was 28th in line but said her lucky number is 27, a figure tattooed on her arm.
She nabbed a few cast iron items within the first few minutes.
Karen Redeye, who recently moved to Santa Fe, grabbed a tall wooden framed lamp that had a small, green and inflatable alien attached to it. She also bought a small table, a Navajo weaving and what she called a “ridiculous looking papier-mâché skull” for her daughter.
“I just like estate sales,” Redeye said. “It’s fun. I don’t need a thing.”
Others came with the hope of populating their living room with something — anything — from the show. One such buyer was Judy, who declined to give her last name but who said she is a fan of Roswell.
“You always hope you buy something you’ll go back and see on film and TV when you watch it again,” she said. But having done that at least once before — buying a shelf used in the 1980s Western film Young Guns — she said she also realizes “you go back and watch it and discover it was put way in the back where you really can’t see it.”
Stephen and Domenic Etre, co-owners of Stephen’s A Consignment Gallery, tooled around the store on pink push scooters, acting like enthusiastic film producers.
“It’s showtime!” Stephen Etre proclaimed as he opened the doors to the eager bargain hunters.
Having conducted a couple of these estate sales tied to other television series, including Chambers in Albuquerque, he said he enjoys watching people purchase props from movie and television shows.
It allows them to “live vicariously” by having those items in their homes, he said, adding he and his staff try to create a sense of urgency to get people buying, which can then encourage others.
He said estate sales attract people who feel “if I don’t buy it, someone else will.”
Tying the sale into the theme of the show, Etre’s staff had set up a gray alien by the checkout line near a sign reading: “Thank You For Letting Us Abduct Your Funds!”
Not everything was for sale. The producers donated a lot of clothes and other household items to firefighters and others who lost their homes in recent wildfires in New Mexico, Barnes said.
Proceeds from the sale go back to Warner Brothers Television, Barnes and Etre said.
The sale continues at the old Kmart site through Sunday. Saturday’s sale items will be 50 percent off, Etre said. On Sunday, it will be 70 percent off.
“Does that mean we should hide stuff and come back Sunday?” one man asked Erte.
The answer was no. | https://www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_news/canceled-roswell-show-sells-props-set-pieces-in-santa-fe/article_48fd3688-fe2c-11ec-8341-9f5825eb5ee8.html | 2022-07-09T06:16:29Z | https://www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_news/canceled-roswell-show-sells-props-set-pieces-in-santa-fe/article_48fd3688-fe2c-11ec-8341-9f5825eb5ee8.html | true |

REDITE! … IL FAULT BL I have been most interested in comparing the news about British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s scandalous behavior with ongoing events in our own country. A large number of Johnson’s Conservative Party Cabinet members resigned in protest because of his loose relationship with the truth. No longer able to tolerate him as leader, those resigning said they valued honesty and integrity over loyalty to the prime minister.
In this country, a majority of Republican members of Congress have refused to denounce the former president for his lies and illicit actions. Following the 2020 election, more than half of Republicans in Congress and a majority of Republicans nationwide continue to support the “big lie” even though they have no evidence. The Republican leadership needs to be held to a higher standard than loyalty to one man. This unwavering loyalty to the former president belies their support for honesty, integrity and democracy.

Unsafe but healthy?
The irony of Los Alamos National Laboratory’s plutonium processing project recently discussed in a letter (“Weigh in on proposal for LANL plutonium process,” July 3) brings to mind an earlier article, (“Report: LANL operator makes safety gains but is still lacking,” June 22). In this report, the Government Accountability Office warns of “a lab culture that often puts productivity ahead of safety, especially as it moves toward making plutonium triggers for warheads.”
On the same day, June 22, Los Alamos was voted the “Healthiest Community in the U.S.” for the third year in a row by U.S. News and World Report and CVS Health. The irony of these coinciding revelations weighs heavier when acute housing shortages in Los Alamos, wildfires burning near nuclear waste sites and seismic activity in the area are also considered.

No lectures, please
With all due respect to Monsignor Jerome Martinez y Alire (“After Roe: Give voice to the voiceless,” July 3), I don’t need to be lectured that “the church … opposes all sorts of violence against the human community, whether by individual acts of depravity” or otherwise. I grew up a Catholic school altar boy and only avoided the many instances of “acts of depravity” perpetrated by Catholic priests because I had so many brothers also serving Mass that none of the priests dared touch us. Far too many boys in churches all across the country were not so lucky.

Change, or else
It’s not uncommon these days for people to believe the U.S. Constitution needs to be scrapped. Movement conservatives have been advocating a new constitutional convention. Others, like libertarian billionaire Marc Thiessen, have been of this opinion for years. Suppose for a moment that the current Supreme Court’s real motive is to force scrapping of the Constitution. Or, to put it another way, the right-wing justices believe they are taking a cold-eyed look at current practices and finding the Constitution doesn’t support them — so the country is going to have to deal with the absence of certain rights and privileges one way or another. And Justice Clarence Thomas is pointing at additional practices that he thinks are insupportable.
Can gerrymandered districts be banned? No; there’s nothing in the Constitution to prohibit them. Can dark money be kept out of elections? No; there’s nothing in the Constitution to ban it. Doesn’t the emergence of women in the economy, society and politics (from Rosie the Riveter to the present) produce a need for women to have bodily autonomy? The Constitution doesn’t mention women. Can abortion remain legal? No; there’s nothing in the Constitution to protect it. May vigilantes be relied on to enforce laws? Yes; that’s how the Fugitive Slave Law was enforced. Can firearms be regulated? No; the Constitution doesn’t permit that. Can greenhouse gas emissions be limited by federal regulation? No; the Constitution doesn’t envision that absent explicit legislation. Thus it’s reasonable to conclude, based on the evidence, that the Supreme Court is deliberately making modern America unworkable and risking the future of planet Earth, saying modern America can no longer be the way it has been. People are going to have to accept that or get busy and make major changes, i.e. scrap the current Constitution.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Mookie Betts hit a tying sacrifice fly in the ninth inning, just missing a grand slam, and Will Smith hit a winning single in the 10th to lead the Los Angeles Dodgers over the Cubs 4-3 Friday night for their eighth straight win against Chicago.
Los Angeles trailed 3-1 after six, but Jake Lamb homered in the seventh and Betts drove in Zach McKinstry with his fly ball to the left-field wall against David Robertson.
Freddie Freeman was intentionally walked by Rowan Wick (1-4) in the 10th before Smith's single to left drove in Trea Turner.
Evan Phillips (3-3) got three outs for the win as the NL-leading Dodgers improved to 8-1 on an 11-game homestand. They also improved to 5-0 against the Cubs this season.
Los Angeles also moved to an NL-best 28-13 at home this year.
Nico Hoerner homered for Chicago, and Ian Happ made it 3-0 with a two-run double in the sixth. Keegan Thompson yielded an unearned run and two hits in 5 2/3 innings.
Hoerner's line drive in the fifth went off the top of the wall in leftl and into the seats for his fifth homer. The ball was just out of reach of Dodgers left fielder Gavin Lux.
Los Angeles got one back in the bottom of the sixth when Freeman doubled with two outs and scored when Cubs right fielder Seiya Suzuki dropped Smith’s fly ball.
Tyler Anderson pitched seven effective innings for the Dodgers. He was charged with three runs and five hits.
STARS IN HOLLYWOOD
Betts and Turner were named National League starters for the July 19 All-Star Game in Los Angeles. It marked the first time the Dodgers will have multiple All-Star Game starters since 1980, which was the last time the game was contested at Dodger Stadium.
In that 1980 season, the Dodgers had four All-Stars: Steve Garvey, Davey Lopes, Bill Russell and Reggie Smith.
“When you win consistently for eight, nine, 10 years, you get fans to show up and support the team and the players,” said Turner, who is in his first full season with the Dodgers. “I try to fit in, do my job as much as I can but it’s rewarding when the fans have your back.”
Cubs catcher Willson Contreras also was voted an NL starter.
TRAINERS ROOM
Cubs: 2B Nick Madrigal (groin) had the day off Friday after starting his rehab assignment at Triple-A Iowa on Thursday. ... RHP Daniel Norris (finger) will pitch again Sunday in his rehab assignment at Iowa after throwing a scoreless inning Thursday. ... 1B Frank Schwindel (back) went hitless in three at-bats to start his rehab assignment at Iowa on Friday.
Dodgers: RHP Brusdar Graterol (side) will not go on the injured list after coming out of Thursday’s game against the Cubs, with manager Dave Roberts saying his pitcher is “in a good spot.” … LHP Andrew Heaney had a bullpen session Friday as he continues his return from his second bout with shoulder inflammation.
UP NEXT
Cubs: Right-hander Marcus Stroman (2-5, 5.32 ERA) will return from shoulder inflammation to make his first start in over a month.
Dodgers: Left-hander Clayton Kershaw (5-2, 2.57) will make his final home start before the All-Star break. | https://www.seattlepi.com/sports/article/Dodgers-rally-late-to-win-8th-straight-vs-Cubs-17294134.php | 2022-07-09T06:28:31Z | https://www.seattlepi.com/sports/article/Dodgers-rally-late-to-win-8th-straight-vs-Cubs-17294134.php | true |

“Timothy Dean has been a well known folk singer on the Somerset scene for some years: what is less well known is that he has spent those years in researching the county’s many stories, myths, and legends – spanning prehistoric “Cheddar Man”, Jesus, pirates, murders, and mysteries,” says a spokesman.
“All these researches come to life in an evening of songs and stories, written by Timothy Dean – accompanied by his virtuoso guitar skills.”
“If you live in Brent Knoll, you’ll already know all about Timothy Dean. He is the village’s postman, and was the unanimous choice to do the official opening of their new community shop. It was also in Brent Knoll that he recently premiered his “Songs of Somerset” programme to a sell-out audience.”
“It was the success of this event that led to the plan for this programme to be presented to a wider audience at The Princess Theatre.”
“Many in the Brent Knoll audience believed that they already knew about Somerset’s long and varied history, but everyone there agreed that they had learned far more – and had thoroughly enjoyed Timothy’s brilliantly written songs, his story-telling, and his remarkable guitar skills.” | https://www.burnham-on-sea.com/news/burnham-on-sea-theatre-to-host-musical-event-showcasing-talents-of-local-folk-singer/ | 2022-07-09T06:54:21Z | https://www.burnham-on-sea.com/news/burnham-on-sea-theatre-to-host-musical-event-showcasing-talents-of-local-folk-singer/ | false |
Birmingham [UK], July 9 (ANI): The Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes era of England cricket are off to an excellent start with the team prevailing in all four of their Tests so far under the new regime.
The most amazing part of this current run has been the four straight successful run chases of targets greater than 250 runs and the way in which England have approached those innings.

The term 'Bazball' has been echoing in the cricket world for the past few weeks thanks to the attacking style England have adopted under McCullum's charge.
But the former New Zealand captain mentioned that this playing style could at times be over-simplified and misunderstood.
"I don't have any idea what 'Bazball' is. It's not just all crash and burns, if you look at the approach, and that's why I don't really like that silly term that people are throwing out there," ICC quoted McCullum saying to SEN radio.
"Because there's actually quite a bit of thought that goes into how the guys manufacture their performances and when they put pressure on bowlers and which bowlers they put pressure on. There are also times where they've absorbed pressure beautifully as well," he added.
"I certainly wouldn't say that", McCullum said as he shared insight on what he and his team are trying to accomplish with this strategy.
"All we try and do is play a brand of cricket which gives the guys the greatest amount of satisfaction and gives them the best opportunity. We've also got an obligation to entertain," he added.
"It's been a challenging period for those who love the game of Test cricket because society has changed and people don't necessarily have five days to sit down and watch cricket anymore, so we need to make sure that the product that we've got and the product that we're taking to the people are worthy of their time and is able to captivate some of those imaginations," he said.
"So that's one of the fundamental reasons why the guys are wanting to play this style of cricket and it seems to really resonate with them as well. From my point of view as a coach, it certainly resonates with me because it's how I like to see the game played, and the same as the skipper [Ben Stokes]."
The England coach also mentioned the challenges that the "external noise" from the media can bring and how he and his team have consciously tried to look past all the distractions heading into recent matches.
"The media over here, it is a huge beast and sometimes the negative and the positive can seep into an environment," he said. "One thing we've tried to do is just be totally honest with one another and try and block some of that external stuff out and quieten down some of that noise. I think that's helped," said McCullum.

Los Angeles County health officials will expand access to monkeypox vaccines on Monday, but the limited supply of doses means they will only be provided to high-risk residents who are specifically contacted by the Department of Public Health.
As of Friday, there were a total of 54 confirmed monkeypox cases in the county, nearly double the amount from a week ago. But public health officials insisted during an online briefing Friday that the risk of infection in the general population remains extremely low.
But news of additional cases has prompted some calls for expanded access to the JYNNEOS monkeypox vaccine, which remains in limited supply. The county had already administered its supply of roughly 1,000 doses of the vaccine, which is actually a two-dose regimen.
Andrea Kim, director of Vaccine-Preventable Disease Control and the county Department of Public Health, said the county has received another 6,000 doses, allowing a slight expansion of eligibility. That will occur Monday, but the shots will still only be offered to people deemed at high risk by the county.
Under previous guidelines, shots were only being offered to residents who had confirmed contact with an existing case or who attended an event where there was a high risk of exposure. On Monday, that eligibility will expand to include:
- gay and bisexual men and transgender women who are patients of a sexual health clinic and have a diagnosis of rectal gonorrhea or early syphilis within the past three months; and
- limited number of high-risk individuals identified by clinical staff at Men's Central Jail.
Kim stressed that vaccines will be provided only to people who are specifically contacted by the county.

“Residents who have not been contacted by Public Health or our clinic partners will not be able to be vaccinated at this time due to limited supply,'' she said.
She said eligibility will expand as more doses become available, but she again stressed, “The risk of getting monkeypox in L.A. County is very low.”
According to Kim, there are a "couple of hundred" people at Men's Central Jail who could be eligible for the vaccine based on risk factors. Dr. Rita Singhal, chief medical officer of the Department of Public Health, said there have not been any confirmed cases among jail inmates to date.
Health officials said the infection spreads through contact with bodily fluids, monkeypox sores or shared items such as bedding or clothing that were contaminated with fluids. It can also be transmitted through saliva and sexual contact.
Most people who develop monkeypox have only mild illness that goes away within two to four weeks without treatment.
People with symptoms are urged to visit a medical provider, cover the rash area with clothing, wear a mask and avoid close or skin-to-skin contact with others.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control particularly recommends those steps for people who recently traveled to an area where monkeypox cases have been reported, or who have had contact with a confirmed or suspected monkeypox cases.
A full list of countries that have confirmed monkeypox cases is available at https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/notices/alert/monkeypox.
As of Friday, there were about 700 cases across the United States, and about 7,500 worldwide in 57 countries. The illness has grabbed attention because it is normally limited to Central and West Africa, so its spread in other nations has sparked concerns about another contagion.
But Singhal insisted, “The risk of monkeypox in the general population remains very low based on the current information we have available.” | https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/la-county-to-expand-distribution-of-monkeypox-vaccine-by-invitation-only/2934157/ | 2022-07-09T07:06:04Z | https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/la-county-to-expand-distribution-of-monkeypox-vaccine-by-invitation-only/2934157/ | true |
BRUSSELS (AP) — From his days stoking anti-European Union sentiment with exaggerated newspaper stories, to his populist campaign leading Britain out of the bloc and reneging on the post-Brexit trade deal he signed, outgoing U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been the bane of Brussels for all so many years.
Such was his impact on breaking the bonds between Britain and the EU that after Johnson was forced to announce Thursday that he would step down, the news brought little public jubilation in EU circles. Instead, there was just the numb acceptance of the inevitable and resignation that things will never be the same.
“I will not miss him,” French finance minister Bruno Le Maire said, highlighting an open disdain unseen since the Europeans welcomed the U.S. election loss of Donald Trump in 2020. And while trans-Atlantic relations picked up quickly since the arrival of President Joe Biden, don't expect anything similar with a new British leader, politicians and experts said.
“Even with a new prime minister, I believe there will likely be few changes in the British government’s position" on the main Brexit issues causing current divisions, said David McAllister, the leading EU legislator dealing with the United Kingdom.
Guy Verhofstadt, who was the top EU parliamentarian during the whole Brexit divorce proceedings, said Johnson's impact was such there is little to no chance another Conservative prime minister could steer a fundamentally different course.
“No one is under any illusion that Johnson’s departure from Downing Street solves any of the underlying problems in the U.K.-EU relationship,” Verhofstadt wrote in an opinion piece for The Guardian. “The damage done by the outgoing prime minister, through the project that he instrumentalized to achieve power, lives on.”
The United Kingdom was always a halfhearted EU member since joining the bloc in 1973. When Johnson joined the Brussels press corps some three decades ago, he often enthralled his home readership with stories that had two fundamental elements: they put the EU in the darkest of lights, and they had little connection to reality.
As a Conservative politician, he threw his weight in the 2016 referendum on the U.K.'s EU membership behind arguments to leave the bloc. Johnson used his breezy manner and jokey style to sell the benefits of withdrawing from the EU, sometimes disregarding the facts. He was key to the Brexit campaign's victory in the cliff-edge 2016 Brexit referendum vote.
Yet disdain never ran deeper than earlier this year when he started moves toward unilaterally rewriting parts of the post-Brexit deal he signed with the 27-nation bloc. The agreement set up a special system in Northern Ireland, which is part of the U.K., so trade with the Republic of Ireland — an EU member — could go on without setting up a physical border.
“I was there face to face with him. Line for line, comma for comma, and he doesn't want to respect it,” EU chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier reminisced Friday, still showing bafflement at Johnson's tactics.
“The reputational damage has been huge to a country and society which has long been proud of its deep culture of ‘My word is my bond’ without even a written contract, let alone an international treaty,” said Michael Emerson of the Center for European Policy Studies.
The bill to unilaterally break the agreement on trade in Northern Ireland is still in the House of Commons, and some lingering hope is left that London might step back from the brink.
"They have this law in the Parliament, so they are doing steps in that direction. But they have not crossed the line,” said Jan Lipavský, the foreign minister of Czechia, which holds the EU presidency and is more widely know in English as the Czech Republic.
Yet a quick glance at the likely contenders to take over doesn't inspire hope for any fundamental change since it includes several Conservatives who have spent years steeping in Johnson's confrontational Brexit strategies.
“If you look at possible successors, there is no one who will fundamentally break with the Brexit line,” said Rem Korteweg of the Clingendael Institute in The Hague, Netherlands. “The Conservative Party has a dominant Brexit core that you will have to convince to become prime minister.”
Although the first years of Brexit have yielded anything but the bounty Johnson promised, any possible quest to return the U.K. to the EU is also as good as out of the question, with the main opposition Labour Party now centering to make the best of the Brexit situation instead.
Not that the EU would even want to welcome back the country with open arms.
With Ukraine, inflation-spurred economic issues and migration problems, “their plate is full,” Korteweg said. “They are really not waiting for talks with the British, who will be looking for exceptions and exemptions anyway,” he said.
Barnier, who led the EU in Brexit talks for years, doesn't see it happening either.
“It is not an issue at hand,” Barnier said on Sud Radio. “Very frankly, what we need is a state of mind where the British government respects the treaties it negotiated.”

Is Nick Daicos the best first year player of the modern AFL era? Daicos brothers IGNITE for Collingwood to secure great escape against North Melbourne
- Fans are calling teenage Collingwood star Nick Daicos one of the best ever
- He combined with brother Josh to steer the Magpies to a relieving victory
- North Melbourne were ahead by 20 points at the three-quarter time break
- Collingwood kicked the five and only goals of the final quarter to steal the win
Fans are calling Collingwood's Nick Daicos the best first-year AFL player of all-time after the 19-year-old produced another masterclass to get his side out of jail against North Melbourne on Saturday.
For three quarters a major upset loomed until the 'Pies kicked the first three goals of the final quarter to wrestle back momentum and ultimately a 13.10 (88) to 12.9 (81) win.
The Roos opened up an early advantage and kicked the first three of the second quarter, and kept the Pies at bay to take a 20-point lead into the main break.
Nick Daicos celebrates a goal with Josh Daicos during the AFL Round 17 match between the Collingwood Magpies and the North Melbourne Kangaroos
The Pies came out of the blocks hard in the final term, desperate to save the game – and their finals chances. They kicked the first - and only - five goals of the last quarter – including a spectacular goal from prized recruit Nick Daicos, who was assisted by brother Josh.
'Nick Daicos is just a class above. Another huge performance. Still mind blowing that he’s a first year player,' one fan posted.
'Give him the rising star award immediately and maybe start knitting his AA [All Australian] blazer,' posted another.
It was the Magpies seventh win in a row and moved them up to fifth on the AFL ladder.
Nick was keeping a lid on his own performance, instead crediting coach Craig McRae and the team's discipline for running down the 20-point three-quarter deficit.
'We've just got great belief in our system,' he said.
'We didn't start the best today obviously, but we kept sticking at it and we got the result which was great.'
Nick Larkey of the Kangaroos is tackled by Daicos who had a huge influence on the result
'I think it was pretty basic at three-quarter time, 'Fly' [coach Craig McRae] was extremely calm as he has been all year, he just told us to keep going, it will come and eventually it did.
'We just kept pressuring and eventually we got the result.'
After a season of feeding the ball to brother Josh Daicos all year, Nick finally got to be on the receiving end during the comeback to kick a memorable major that helped steer his side home.
'I played a bit of midfield in the second half today and Josh gave me the handball which was nice and I was lucky enough to get it through,' he said.
'I've been waiting for a goal, I've just been wanting a goal all year so it was nice to get one today.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/afl/article-10997259/Daicos-brothers-IGNITE-Collingwood-secure-great-escape-against-North-Melbourne.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-07-09T07:13:02Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/afl/article-10997259/Daicos-brothers-IGNITE-Collingwood-secure-great-escape-against-North-Melbourne.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false |
She's back! Carrie Bickmore is set to make an imminent return to The Project desk after moving to London with her family
The Project host Carrie Bickmore is set to return to the Channel 10 show next week, a new report has claimed.
According to The Herald Sun, the 41-year-old will be back in the show's Melbourne studio on Monday and back on screen.
It comes after Carrie enjoyed an extended break from the show and moved to the UK in April with her partner Chris Walker and their kids.

Carrie revealed her grand plans to move overseas with partner Chris Walker and their children in March.
'In April I'm going to be taking a few months off The Project desk. Chris and I and the kids are heading off on a family adventure together.'
'We've been wanting to do it for a while but for lots of reasons the timing hasn't been right, but we figure it's never going to be the perfect time to go.
Carrie revealed her grand plans to move overseas with partner Chris Walker and their children in March. They moved overseas in April
'It's something we really want to do before my son starts his final years at school so we're doing term two in the UK. So I will be off for a couple of months.'
Carrie also said she had been inspired by The Project panellist Kate Langbroek, 56, who spent two years living in Bologna, Italy, with her family.
It comes after her TV executive partner was officially let off the hook after he was caught with his trousers down on a company Skype call in May.

While the gaffe led to an avalanche of embarrassing headlines for the ABC, Walker is 'unlikely to face serious sanctions', according to The Australian.
The public broadcaster reportedly took the incident 'seriously' but managers say the steps already taken will 'probably' be the end of the matter.
An insider told the newspaper: 'It was a genuine mistake. Obviously, the ABC is taking it seriously if people were traumatised.
'But if serious action was taken against Chris Walker for an accidental flash, there'd also be an outcry.'
The ABC has since offered counselling to staffers who witnessed the incident, The Herald Sun reported.

PARIS (AP) — The right to abortion in France hardly seems under threat — it’s been inscribed in law for 47 years and enjoys broad support across the political spectrum. But more and more French women are asking: Could what happened in the U.S. happen here one day?
The decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to strip women of the right to abortion has reverberated across Europe's political landscape, forcing the issue back into public debate in France at a time of political upheaval.
With women increasingly taking leadership positions in French politics, lawmakers in both houses of parliament have proposed four bills to enshrine the right to abortion in the French Constitution in order to defend it from future threats.
The most notable initiative comes from President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist alliance. His detractors on the left say Macron's party is being opportunist, while far-right critics accuse it of using the issue to distract from more pressing matters.
Abortion in France was decriminalized under a 1975 law named for Simone Veil, a prominent legislator, former health minister and key feminist who championed it.
“This right was fought for and was inalienable,” said Yaël Braun-Pivet, the first woman elected speaker of the National Assembly, France’s most powerful house of parliament. In her first address to the chamber last week, Braun-Pivet made the inscription of abortion rights into the French Constitution a top priority.
“It is my conviction as a woman today that we need to be the watchdog so that it stays in place forever,” Braun-Pivet said.
Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne also expressed concerns over the potential effects of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on recent efforts to recriminalize abortion in Europe. Borne, only the second woman in French history to have been appointed prime minister, called the reversal of abortion rights in the U.S. a “historical turn in the wrong direction.“
“It’s a stark warning that women’s rights should never be taken for granted,” Borne said last week after meeting health care providers and reproductive health specialists in Paris. She called for inscribing these rights into the French Constitution and the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.
The European Union’s parliament adopted a resolution Thursday condemning the U.S. decision and urging the addition of a sentence reading “Everyone has a right to safe and legal abortion” to the EU's Charter of Fundamental Rights. Abortion is legal and practiced without much political opposition in most EU nations, but is banned in Malta and sharply restricted in Poland.
In France, a poll this week found a solid majority of respondents support the right to abortion, even including most voters who support Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally party and the conservative Republicans. The results were consistent with past surveys.
However the effort to inscribe abortion rights in the French Constitution may not succeed if Macron's political rivals decide they don't want to give him an easy win.
Macron's party lost its majority in the National Assembly in last month's election, while the leftist Nupes coalition became the biggest opposition force and Le Pen’s National Rally won a record number of seats.
“The right to abortion is not questioned by anyone,” Le Pen said on France-Info radio last week. Still, she blasted efforts to cement abortion rights in the constitution, accusing Macron's allies of “political diversion.”
“They want to shift the focus from the main concerns for French people, which are purchasing power, security and out-of-control immigration,” Le Pen said.
On the far left, lawmakers noted that Macron's party dismissed earlier efforts to enshrine abortion in the constitution. Mathilde Panot, leader of the hard-left France Unbowed parliamentary group, is now pushing Borne to propose a government bill on the issue instead of a bill that originated in parliament, which would speed up the process.
Last year, French lawmakers passed a law extending the abortion deadline from 12 to 14 weeks and allowing midwives to perform the procedure.
Feminist activists marched last weekend in Paris to show solidarity with American women and support French efforts to seek constitutional guarantees.
“People think that women will always have this right but considering the rise of conservative political and religious movements, we have our doubts,” said Violaine De Filippis, a Parisian lawyer and feminist activist who joined the march.
Some experts say Macron’s lawmakers are being alarmist.
Anne Levade, a public law professor at La Sorbonne University, said in a blog post that “clearly, there is no risk in France that abortion rights would ever be challenged, like they were in the U.S.”
But Mathilde Philip-Gay, a law professor and specialist in French and American constitutional law, said France's Constitutional Court could also be influenced by politics if groups craft a long-term strategy to end the right to abortion.
“It is not on the agenda right now, but in 10 or 12 years, French judges could do the same thing that judges of the Supreme Court did,” Philip-Gay said.
An inscription into France's constitution “could make it harder for abortion opponents to challenge these rights, but it couldn’t prevent them from doing it in the long run."

Four People Injured in Collision in Nash Creek, New Brunswick
Four People Injured in Collision on Highway 11
Four people were injured on Tuesday, July 5, 2022 in a collision involving four vehicles in a construction zone in Nash Creek, New Brunswick.
The incident happened in the afternoon around 2 p.m. on Highway 11 as traffic was stopped in the work zone. Police said they believe one of the drivers collided with three other vehicles. Four of the adults had minor injuries while the vehicles sustained serious damage.
First Responders
The first responders who assisted on the scene were the Chaleur Region RCMP, the Belledune Fire Department, and Ambulance New Brunswick.
Traffic in the area was closed for approximately two hours while crews took care of the injured and vehicles. The road was reopened to traffic.
Statement from The RCMP
Cpl. Jean-François Dulac with the Chaleur Region RCMP said:
Fortunately, no one was seriously injured in this collision, but it could have been far worse. Construction season is upon us, and this is a good reminder for drivers to be attentive when approaching construction zones. Reduce your speed, watch for workers and possible changes in traffic patterns.
Investigators are still looking into the incident as they gather information.

DEAR ABBY: Even though I have lived in a different state for many years, I’ve remained in touch with a female friend I’ll call “Tina” from high school, mostly via text messaging. For the last 12 years, I have been in a relationship with a man who has been very good to me. We are not married and we don’t live together.
When I first met him, he told me that many years ago, when he was very young, he had been involved in several barroom brawls and had been arrested more than once. He recognized that his abuse of alcohol was at the root of his problem and decided to quit drinking. Over the years he has worked hard to turn his life around, and he hasn’t been in any sort of trouble since.
I believe everyone deserves a second chance. However, I told him that if he decided to resume drinking and/or got arrested for any reason, I would have nothing further to do with him. He hasn’t. I didn’t share that information with Tina because it really isn’t any of her business.
Unbeknownst to me, Tina decided to conduct a background search on my boyfriend. One day, out of the blue, she sent me his “mugshot” and other details from 40 years ago, asking me if that was him. I can’t believe she did that, and I feel like it was crossing the line. I can’t comprehend what she hoped to accomplish. How would you advise me to handle this situation?
— SIMPLY STUNNED IN FLORIDA
DEAR STUNNED: I would advise you to lose your “friend” and keep the man with whom you have the relationship. Tina was a furlong out of bounds to send you the information without first discussing it with you. She may have done it in an attempt to “warn” you, or perhaps because she’s jealous. Whatever the reason, she owes you an apology — if you are still speaking to her, that is. | https://www.swoknews.com/styles/dear_abby/friend-runs-background-check-on-old-classmates-boyfriend/article_5cf6a8f8-b77b-5930-bddd-289d9aa652d9.html | 2022-07-09T08:11:38Z | https://www.swoknews.com/styles/dear_abby/friend-runs-background-check-on-old-classmates-boyfriend/article_5cf6a8f8-b77b-5930-bddd-289d9aa652d9.html | true |
Q. My father-in-law passed away earlier this year. Since then, my wife and I have faced a dilemma because of the inheritance. Her dad had several life insurance policies, and he left one to her and one to each of her siblings. The one he left my wife was bigger than the ones he left to the others, and now her sister who received the smallest settlement is angry about the situation. She wants more, and it’s causing a real dilemma within the family. I told my wife I am OK with doing what she feels is best. What are your thoughts?
A. So, your wife’s sister feels like she’s entitled to something their dad didn’t want her to have? The arrogance of your sister-in-law is appalling. If their dad had wanted her sister to have a different policy, he would’ve put her name on the other policy. I mean, it was his decision, not hers.

Giving someone money because you think it will enhance or save a relationship is a really bad idea. A relationship that’s purchased isn’t a real relationship – it’s prostitution. If giving this sister money is the only way she’ll act right or ever speak to you guys again, then she ain’t worth having. That’s no longer someone you should feel the need to impress, and it’s not on you guys if she decides to pitch a fit or sever the relationship.
This is a heart decision, a conscience decision. I would advise you and your wife to make it together and be in full agreement. I’m sorry you two are going through this, but the idea her sister deserves more just because she wants more? Sounds like their dad already made his feelings known on that subject.

MEXICO CITY -- Mexico's anti-money laundering agency said Thursday it has accused ex-President Enrique Pena Nieto of handling millions of dollars in possibly illegal funds, perhaps a signal from President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador that he is getting serious about his promise to pursue corruption.
It marks the first formal legal accusations against Pena Nieto, despite multiple allegations about corruption during his 2012-2018 administration. Lopez Obrador made rooting out corruption the main theme of his presidency, but hadn't yet moved against any of his predecessors.
The criminal complaint filed against Pena Nieto by the government's Financial Intelligence Unit does not mean prosecutors have yet decided to file any formal charges. But the head of the unit, Pablo Gomez, said federal prosecutors have received the complaint alleging use of illicit funds and are investigating it.
Gomez said Thursday that two companies run by Pena Nieto's family had received about $500 million in government contracts while he was president. He did not identify the companies but said they were a sort of distribution firm, and the former president was a shareholder.
Gomez also said Pena Nieto had received money transfers from a relative, apparently linked to the two companies, for about $1.3 million after leaving office. Gomez said Pena Nieto's accounts and those of the companies haven't been blocked.
Pena Nieto moved to Spain after leaving office.
On Thursday, Pena Nieto wrote in his Twitter account that his money was legally obtained.
"I am certain that the appropriate authorities will allow me to clear up any questions about my holdings, and to prove their legality through legal channels," the former president wrote. "I have confidence in legal institutions."
The former head of Mexico's state-run oil company under Pena Nieto, Emilio Lozoya, has claimed that Pena Nieto and his right-hand man, then-Treasury Secretary Luis Videgaray, directed him to bribe lawmakers, including five senators, to support controversial energy and other structural reforms in 2013 and 2014.
Videgaray has denied the accusations. Neither man faces any charges in that case.
The hands-off approach toward Pena Nieto has fueled speculation that Lopez Obrador had reached some kind of gentleman's agreement with the ex-president in 2018. In exchange for quickly recognizing Lopez Obrador's presidential victory and allowing him unusual power during the transition period, Pena Nieto purportedly would have gained a promise of impunity.
Lopez Obrador has said simply that "revenge isn't my strong point" and that Mexico should look to the future, not the past.
Yet last year, Lopez Obrador sponsored a national referendum of Mexican voters about whether to prosecute former leaders accused of wrongdoing. It failed to reach the 40% participation required to make it binding and critics pointed out that the government didn't need the public's blessing to prosecute anyone who had committed crimes. | https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2022/jul/08/ex-mexican-leader-accused-over-funds/ | 2022-07-09T08:41:17Z | https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2022/jul/08/ex-mexican-leader-accused-over-funds/ | true |

Pulaski County Circuit Judge Cathi Compton has ordered the arrest of a 20-year-old North Little Rock man who police say is a "core member" of the violent Gudda Boi Gang in the city, court filings show.
Demarcus Antawon Morris is awaiting trial on marijuana trafficking and firearm possession, charges that together carry a potential life sentence, stemming from a May 16, 2020, arrest on 29th and Percy Machin streets in North Little Rock. According to an arrest report, police found 42 grams of marijuana, about 1.5 ounces, a Glock pistol and $3,076 in a backpack in his car during a traffic stop. Officers had pulled Morris over because they knew he did not have a valid driver's license.
Further, the report describes Morris as a "core member" of "GBG," a "known ... gang that operates throughout the central Arkansas area" and is "involved in several violent crimes throughout the metro area, including terroristic acts, aggravated robberies." He spent three days in jail before posting a $50,000 bond.
Tuesday, Compton ordered Morris' arrest after deputy prosecutor Corinne Kwapis reported Morris had violated his bond conditions when North Little Rock police arrested him on May 30 on firearm possession and marijuana and prescription-medication trafficking charges.
According to an arrest report, police found a pistol where he had been sitting in the vehicle, along with a backpack at his feet containing marijuana and a second gun, one that had been modified to fire automatically. He was also found to be carrying suspected Xanax and Percocet pills, according to the report. Morris was released after posting $15,000 bond.
The driver of the car, 29-year-old Antonio Lamarcus Gurley of North Little Rock, was charged with misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia. Gurley is currently under federal indictment on a felon in possession of a firearm charge. The indictment stems from his Dec. 19, 2020, arrest in Little Rock by Arkansas State Police with a pistol and a small amount of marijuana and prescription pills, according to the report.
In August 2020, about three weeks after his 18th birthday, Morris was shot at McCain Mall. North Little Rock investigators identified a suspect, Jawaun Deaunta Jordan, also known as Juwuan Jordan, now 26, within a week of the incident, but finding him took about six months.
Jordan initially claimed self-defense, with his attorney, Michael Kaiser, providing cellphone video to authorities reportedly showing multiple gang members "cornering and assaulting" Jordan at the Dixie Day celebration in the Dixie neighborhood in North Little Rock a few weeks before Morris was shot.
The recording is said to show Morris punching and chasing Jordan with other gang members beating, chasing and pistol-whipping Jordan, court files show. Two of them, unidentified in the pleadings, were with Morris at the McCain Mall shooting.
Further, police had information that Morris had assaulted a friend of Jordan's earlier that same day, with that friend being with Jordan at the mall.
Jordan, who has been on probation or parole for burglary and theft convictions since age 18, pleaded guilty to second-degree battery, reduced from first-degree battery, and being a felon in possession of a firearm for the shooting in September, in exchange for an eight-year prison term. He will be eligible for parole in January 2023. | https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2022/jul/08/pulaski-county-judge-orders-arrest-of-north/ | 2022-07-09T08:43:00Z | https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2022/jul/08/pulaski-county-judge-orders-arrest-of-north/ | false |

AZ woman shot by police, arrested for ramming SUV into patrol vehicle
MESA, AZ (3TV/CBS 5/Gray News) - A woman was shot by police in Arizona and later booked into jail after officers say she used her SUV to ram an officer’s vehicle late Thursday night at the city’s police headquarters.
Just before 9 p.m. the woman, later identified as 39-year-old Taneysha Shari Carter, was following an officer in a marked SUV in the area of Country Club and University drives.
The officer was dispatched to a call, but since Carter was following him, he decided to go back to police headquarters near University Drive and Center Street, according to court paperwork.
He opened the gate to the employee parking lot, and that’s when Carter rammed her SUV into the patrolman’s vehicle two to three times, court documents say.
The officer went past the gate and stopped his SUV. He then jumped out, rolled on the ground and shot at Carter, police say.
Carter then exited out of her SUV and ran through the parking lot toward the police holding facility.
That’s when the same officer shot again, leaving Carter injured by being hit at least once by the gunfire.
She was taken to the hospital, but was later released.
Carter was booked into jail early Friday morning on charges of aggravated assault, aggravated assault on a police officer and first-degree criminal trespass, which are all felonies.
The responding officer had minor scrapes and cuts on his elbows, hands and knees.
Court documents say Carter told investigators she believes law enforcement, the military and a group she referred to as the Illuminati are trying to kill her.
Carter claims she was trying to get the officer’s attention to tell him this information.
She also said she thought the officer knew who she was.
Court paperwork says Mesa police detained her back in 2020 for mental health reasons. Court records also show Carter has prior convictions for drug and shoplifting charges.
According to Arizona’s Family records for Maricopa County, this is the 35th officer-involved shooting in the Valley in 2022.

MINA – Millions of Muslims across the globe — including in countries like Afghanistan, Libya, Egypt, Kenya and Yemen — were celebrating Eid al-Adha on Saturday, one of the biggest holidays of the Islamic calendar.
Known as the “Feast of Sacrifice,” the revered observance coincides with the final rites of the annual hajj in Saudi Arabia. It's a joyous occasion, for which food is a hallmark. Much of Asia, including Indonesia, India and Pakistan, will observe the holiday on Sunday.
But as Russia's war in Ukraine sends food prices soaring and causes widespread hardship across the Middle East, many say they can't afford the livestock for the ritual sacrifice. Desperation over the cost of living has undercut the typically booming holiday trade in goats, cows and sheep.
“Everyone wants to sacrifice an animal in the name of Allah, but they are not able to do so because they're poor,” said Mohammad Nadir from a cattle market in Mazar-e-Sharif, northern Afghanistan, where a few men haggled over bleating sheep.
Eid al-Adha commemorates the Quranic tale of Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice Ismail as an act of obedience to God. Before he could carry out the sacrifice, God provided a ram as an offering. In the Christian and Jewish telling, Abraham is ordered to kill another son, Isaac.
Many Muslims celebrate the four-day feast by ritually slaughtering livestock and distributing the meat among family, friends and the poor. At al-Shati refugee camp in west Gaza City on Saturday, excited children lined up for the innards and trotters — a cherished offering for those otherwise unable to afford meat.
In cash-strapped Afghanistan, there is usually a shopping rush for prime animals ahead of the holiday. But this year, galloping global inflation and economic devastation after the Taliban takeover have put a purchase of great religious importance beyond the reach of many.
“Last year on this day I sold 40 to 50 cattle,” said Mohammad Qassim, an Afghan cattle vendor. “This year, I have only managed to sell two."
Wheat and meat prices have multiplied and hunger has spread as Russia's war on Ukraine disrupts agriculture and constrains energy supply. The sky-high costs of animal feed and fertilizer have forced livestock salesmen to hike prices.
From Tripoli in war-torn Libya, families are looking forward to the holiday after the past two years of the pandemic and more than a decade of violent chaos. But the price tags — up to $2,100 per sheep — had buyers pacing around the dusty market near the palm-studded highway, apprehensive about the major purchase.
“Honestly, the prices are crazy," said Sabri al-Hadi, seeming exasperated.
At a livestock market in the blockaded Gaza Strip, there were hardly any buyers. Vendors said the price of sheep feed has jumped four fold in recent weeks.
“Our life is full of loss,” lamented Abu Mustafa, a sheep salesman in Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, which long has suffered from widespread joblessness and poverty.
On the streets of Ramallah, in the West Bank, Palestinian families were cutting back on other components of the feast — typically a bounty of dishes, from offal to kaak and maamoul holiday cookies.
“On days like these, there was demand for fruits, sweets and for nuts as well, but as you can see ... no one is standing to buy now," complained fruit vendor Baligh Hamdi.
But lavish feast or no, there were community prayers — a welcome sight in much of the world after years of coronavirus-related restrictions. The faithful crowded into mosques across the Middle East and North Africa on Saturday.
From Kenya to Russia to Egypt, throngs of worshippers prayed shoulder to shoulder, feet to feet.
“I feel very happy that all these people came to pray,” said Sahar Mohamed in Cairo, smiling widely. "There is love and acceptance between people."
In Saudi Arabia, hundreds of thousands of pilgrims rose at dawn to trek to Mina, a wide valley ringed by barren mountains where Prophet Muhammad stopped on his route some 1,400 years ago. One million Muslims from around the world flocked this week to the holy city of Mecca, the largest pilgrimage since the pandemic upended the event.
At the multistory Jamarat Complex, pilgrims carried out the symbolic stoning of the devil, recalling Ibrahim's victory over temptation. It's among the set of rituals associated with the Prophet Muhammad and the prophets Ibrahim and Ismail, or Abraham and Ishmael in the Bible, performed every year for these five intense days.
The pilgrims threw pebbles at three large pillars that mark the places where the devil tried to interrupt Ibrahim’s sacrifice.
It’s the most dangerous point in the hajj, with masses streaming back and forth. In 2015, thousands of pilgrims were crushed to death by surging crowds. The Saudi government never gave a final death toll. In the years since, authorities have improved access with wider streets, electronic gates and a high-speed rail link.
All Muslims who are physically and financially able to complete the spiritual journey are supposed to do so at least once in a lifetime. Saudi Arabia maintained limits to curb the spread of the virus this year, with a COVID-19 vaccine mandate and attendance less than half of pre-pandemic quotas.
Still, the scenes were a significant step closer to normal. The famous crowds thronged the holy sites, abandoning masks and safety measures.
At the end of the pilgrimage, one of the key pillars of Islam, men are expected to shave their heads, and women to snip a lock of hair in a sign of renewal.
They will return to Mecca to circle the cube-shaped Kaaba, which represents the metaphorical house of God, in farewell before heading home and continuing to celebrate the remainder of Eid al-Adha with family.
“We are feeling very proud,” said Indian pilgrim Izhar Anjoom, who was stoning the devil in Mina. “We are enjoying (ourselves) so much because today is Eid.”

SREBRENICA – They were the ones who lived in a world in which their husbands, sons, brothers, uncles and nephews were massacred. They were the ones who fought to make sure that world would neither deny nor forget the truth of what happened in Srebrenica.
As thousands converge on the eastern Bosnian town to commemorate the 27th anniversary Monday of Europe’s only acknowledged genocide since World War II, the crucial role women have played in forging a global understanding of the 1995 massacre also is getting recognized.
A permanent photo exhibition of portraits of the women of Srebrenica opened Saturday in a memorial center dedicated to the massacre's more than 8,000 victims. The center in Potocari, just outside the town, is set to host an international conference of women discussing how they found strength to fight for justice after being driven from their homes and witnessing their loved ones being taken away to be killed.
“After I survived the genocide in which my most beloved child and my husband were killed, it was the injustice of their killers, their refusal to acknowledge what they did and to repent, that pushed me to fight for truth and justice,” said Munira Subasic.
Subasic’s relatives were among more than 8,000 men and boys from the Bosniak ethnic group, which is made up primarily of Muslims, who perished in 10 days of slaughter after the town was overrun by Bosnian Serb forces in the closing months of Bosnia’s 1992-95 fratricidal war.
Bosnian Serb soldiers plowed the victims’ bodies into hastily made mass graves, and then later dug up the sites with bulldozers and scattered the remains among other burial sites to hide the evidence of their crimes.
Bosniak women and children were packed onto buses and expelled from the town.
But as soon as the war was over, Subasic and other women who had shared her fate vowed to find the remains of their loved ones, bring them back to their town and bury them there.
To do that, they created an organization, Mothers of Srebrenica, which engaged in street protests and other actions to stay in the public eye. They demanded that the mass graves be found, the remains identified and those responsible for the massacre punished. To date, almost 90% of those reported missing from the fall of Srebrenica have been accounted for.
“People often ask us who supported us, who had our back early on. But it was no one, we did it on our own,” said Sehida Abdurahmanovic.
“The pain is the best and the most difficult education, but also the most honest, because it comes directly from the heart,” she added.
Since the end of the war, Srebrenica has been located in the Serb-run Bosnian entity of Republika Srpska, while many of its pre-war inhabitants live in the country’s other entity, the Bosniak-Croat Federation.
In the immediate post-war years, crowds of angry Bosnian Serbs did their best to prevent women who had lived through the bloodshed from visiting the newly found mass graves to search for items that once belonged to their loved ones. To intimidate them, crowds would line up along the streets, shouting and throwing stones at buses carrying the women.
But the women kept returning. For a long time, they had to be escorted by the NATO-led peacekeepers, but still they refused to bury their identified dead anywhere else but in Srebrenica.
Finally, in 2003, Bosnian Serb authorities relented under pressure and allowed the survivors to inaugurate the memorial cemetery for the victims in the town.
So far, the remains of more than 6,600 people have been found and buried at the cemetery. The remains of 50 more victims, recently found in mass graves and identified through DNA analysis, will be put to rest there on Monday.
Dozens of Srebrenica women testified before the U.N. war crimes tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, helping put behind bars close to 50 Bosnian Serb wartime officials, collectively sentenced to over 700 years in prison.
“After my husband was killed and I stayed alone with our two children, I thought I will not be able to function, but the pain kept us going,” Abdurahmanovic said.
Brought up in a patriarchal society, Srebrenica women were expected to suffer in silence and not confront Serb leaders, who continue to downplay or even deny the 1995 massacre. Instead, they changed their lives, setting up support groups, commemorating the victims and re-telling their trauma to everyone willing to listen, including queens, presidents, prime ministers, diplomats and journalists.
“The history of what happened in Srebrenica has been written in white marble headstones in the memorial cemetery, which would not have existed had we not insisted,” said Suhra Sinanovic, who lost her husband and 23 other close male relatives in the massacre.
She said Bosnian Serb authorities had underestimated the Srebrenica women.
“If, God forbid, a war was to break out in Bosnia again, maybe (the Serbs) would do things differently by letting the men live and killing the women,” she said. | https://www.clickorlando.com/news/world/2022/07/09/srebrenica-women-honored-for-highlighting-1995-massacre/ | 2022-07-09T09:01:05Z | https://www.clickorlando.com/news/world/2022/07/09/srebrenica-women-honored-for-highlighting-1995-massacre/ | false |

PHOENIX (AP) — Kris Bryant had his first multi-homer game of the season, leading the Colorado Rockies to a 6-5 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday night.
Bryant hit solo homers in the first and seventh, his second and third homers of the year. It was his 17th game with two or more homers.
“This Kris Bryant that I’ve seen in the past, I think that’s the Kris Bryant that he sees himself as," Colorado manager Bud Black said. "He’s healthy, he’s strong, he’s comfortable, and he’s confident.”
But Black was angry after C.J. Cron was hit by a pitch in a game when both benches were warned after hit batters, and a collision at home plate knocked Colorado's Jose Iglesias out of the game after he scored the go-ahead run in the sixth.
Chad Kuhl (6-5) threw five innings, allowing four runs on six hits, three walks and two homers. Alex Colome recorded his fourth save of the year despite allowing a run in the bottom of the ninth.
Josh Rojas answered Bryant's first homer with his fifth of the season to tie it at 1 in the bottom of the first. Sergio Alcantara's two-run shot in the second gave Arizona a 3-1 lead.
Kuhl had a bout of wildness in the bottom half of the fourth. Two walks and a wild pitch set up a perfect safety squeeze by Rojas, scoring Geraldo Perdomo from third base and upping Arizona's lead to 4-2.
Diamondbacks starter Zac Gallen walked in a run in the fifth, his third walk of the inning, and then hit Cron on the hand with a pitch to drive in another, tying the game at 4. Cron had to be removed from the game with a right wrist contusion. X-rays were negative.
Kuhl threw a pitch with two outs in the fifth behind Daulton Varsho. After D-backs manager Torey Lovullo came out of the dugout to protest, he was waived off by the umpires, who huddled up and issued warnings to each bench. Black then came out to argue strenuously to no avail and said Kuhl had no intent, though Lovullo disagreed.
“It seemed to me there was clear intent by their pitcher who went rogue," he said. "I don’t know if he was told to go rogue and try and throw at our batter, the first batter when he got two outs. I thought that was the design of it, and that’s my opinion.”
Black said he was upset that Cron was hit by Arizona pitching for the seventh time over the last couple of years. Cron said he was aware the scouting report was to pitch him up and in.
“I don’t believe any of them were on purpose necessarily, but at the same time, eight times in a year and a half is, in my opinion, a lot,” Cron said. "You guys can decide that for yourselves. Twice in the head. It is what it is.”
Colorado took the lead for good in the sixth after Iglesias doubled and took third on a groundout. Yonathan Daza grounded to first baseman Christian Walker, who throw home attempting to get Iglesias. His throw was high and Iglesias slid in under the tag, upending catcher Jose Herrera. Both Iglesias and Herrera were shaken up on the collision, with Iglesias having to be removed from the game.
Black said Iglesias was feeling dizzy and would be evaluated Saturday, a planned day off.
The D-backs threatened in the ninth, scoring a run and getting the potential winning run to the plate, but Jordan Luplow lined out sharply to shortstop to end the game.
TRAINERS ROOM
Rockies RHP Antonio Senzatela, who has been on the 15-day IL with shoulder inflammation since July 2nd, threw a bullpen session yesterday and will throw another tomorrow. If all goes well, he will pitch in a minor league rehab game next Tuesday. Black did not rule out the possibility of Senzatela returning by July 17 when he is eligible to be activated from the IL.

Some people claim parsley, papaya and other plants can be used to induce abortions. Is that true? And are any of these methods safe?
After the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June, many US states moved to ban abortions. In countries like El Salvador, Egypt, Iraq and Madagascar they already are illegal. Recently, users have started posting advice on social media, chiefly TikTok and Instagram, about how to induce abortions at home using parsley, black cohosh and fleabane. Some have claimed papaya and other fruits could be used as well. But are any of these herbs and fruits suited to inducing abortions? And if so, are they safe?
Claim: A TikTok user recently shared the following post: "Are you in a state that has just placed a ban on abortions? Herbs work as medicine as well." Down below in the comments section, she claimed mugwort, parsley and lycopodium could be consumed to induce an abortion.
Women may try to induce abortions by eating herbs, brewing herbal teas, applying herbs vaginally or injecting herbal extracts. Experts says women have used such methods in the past and warn they can be potentially dangerous. "I must warn all women against using plant-based products to induce abortions because their effects are unpredictable," says Roland Seifert of the Institute of Pharmacology at the Medical University of Hannover.
There are very few studies examining the efficacy of herbs and other plants for inducing abortions. One reason for this stems from the fact that women wishing to terminate pregnancies have been found to mix herbs, varying the quantity and timing of their intake, and sometimes undertaking self-inflicted instrumental manipulations as well, according to a study by the Oriental Republic of Uruguay University.
While the ingestion of herbs was found to sometimes induce abortions, this involved a "risk of severe morbidity and mortality." This is confirmed by Larissa Leibrock-Plehn, who wrote her doctoral thesis on the history of herbal abortifacients. "There can be no safe abortion using plant-based products," says Leibrock-Plehn. Attempting to do so will either prove "ineffective, or dangerous, depending on the dose."
Around 45% of all abortions are unsafe, says the World Health Organization (WHO). Such abortions are typically carried out without medical counselling, and are conducted by individuals lacking the necessary expertise, who may carry out the procedure incorrectly or in an unhygienic fashion.
The above-mentioned study from Uruguay examined 86 cases of self-induced abortions using herbs. It found some of the women suffered multiple organ failures leading to death. Others sustained liver and blood disorders.
A 1980s study by the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta found that individuals attempting an abortion using herbal remedies may consume more such products if the desired effect is not achieved, thereby increasing the risk of poisoning. This could harm the health of a fetus if an abortion is unsuccessful.
Despite these known risks, some social media users have recommend consuming a range of herbs to terminate unwanted pregnancies at home. Here, we take a look at four of them.
On the internet, some claim that parsley, a herb commonly used to season soups and other dishes, can be used to terminate pregnancies. Indeed, the Uruguay study did find women had used the herb for this purpose, at times in combination with other plant-based remedies. Parsley contains apiol and myristicin, two oils that can be toxic.
The paper found that some women who had used parsley and other herbs suffered multiple organ failure. Applying the herb vaginally may also cause bleeding, warns Seifert.
Chemical components contained in parsley could enter a woman's bloodstream through vaginal tears, causing a range of side effects. This may lead to multiple organ, liver, kidney or cardiovascular failure, says Seifert. "You do not know how much of these substances are in your body, and so the effect becomes unpredictable."
Doctors and toxicologists warn against consuming pennyroyal to terminate pregnancies. On Twitter, toxicologists Josh Trebach called the herb "incredibly dangerous" as it can cause "liver failure, seizures and death."
This is backed up by the National Library of Medicine, which states there is "some evidence that pennyroyal oil can cause abortions by causing the uterus to contract. But the dose needed in order to cause an abortion could kill the mother or cause life-long kidney and liver damage." Cases of pennyroyal poisoning and death have been documented.
For centuries, indigenous peoples in Indonesia, Malaysia and Myanmar have been using papaya as an abortifacient. A study using rats published in the British Journal of Nutrition found that the consumption of ripe papaya does not induce abortions. Semi-ripe or unripe papaya, however, contains higher concentrations of latex, which can induce spasmodic contractions of the uterine muscles. The authors conclude that further research is needed, as insights gained from animal studies are not always applicable to humans.
Eating ordinary, ripe papaya poses no risk of inducing abortions, says Seifert. "If you let a papaya ferment, of course toxic substances will occur in the fruit," according to the pharmacologist. These, he says, pose a risk to fetuses and mothers alike.
Black cohosh has also been recommended on social media as a herbal abortifacient. A study by the University of California and Ibis Reproductive Health confirmed that some individuals have tried using the herb to terminate pregnancies. Whether it actually acts as a abortifacient remains unclear, as no evidence points in this direction. Very little research has been conducted in this field.
So far, black cohosh has been studied mainly in connection with treating women experiencing menopause. The herb is often used to treat estrogen depletion effects. Black cohosh extract is processed into pills and administered to patients, says Leibrock-Plehn.
Sometimes, black cohosh is consumed to induce labor. There is at least one documented case, however, where the herb caused severe adverse effects in a newborn.
Claiming that certain herbs and plants can be used as abortifacients is misleading. Some may cause poisoning which in turn may lead to an abortion. This, however, can put the lives of pregnant women at risk. Opting to use plant-based remedies to terminate pregnancies is therefore unsafe and potentially lethal. | https://www.dw.com/en/fact-check-how-safe-are-herbal-abortifacients/a-62414016 | 2022-07-09T09:20:37Z | https://www.dw.com/en/fact-check-how-safe-are-herbal-abortifacients/a-62414016 | true |
Holland: Land of the free because of the brave
Every summer we look forward to July fourth because it’s filled with fun things to do, like barbecuing, picnics, games, family gatherings, camping, and fireworks.
And of course, for many it’s a paid holiday which is always nice. However, along with the celebrations, there is also a solemn awareness of those who have served and sacrificed for our country so that we can enjoy our freedom. Independence Day focuses on the courage of many Americans who fought against Great Britain in the Revolutionary War and with much blood-shed declared the victory and helped establish this great nation.
On July Fourth, 1776, the Second Continental Congress, meeting in Philadelphia, declared the sovereignty of the United States of America as they signed the Declaration of Independence which is recognized as our nations birthday.
There is a moving account of a young man who was a soldier in this war and in every sense of the word defines the meaning of a true American hero. Nathan Hale of Coventry, Connecticut was born in 1755 and grew up to be a highly educated and handsome young man who had every prospect for a happy and fulfilling life.
Those who knew him commented on his love for sports, his kindness and strong Christian convictions. As tension increased about a possible conflict with the British, Nathan like many other enthusiastic young men, joined a local militia and was quickly advanced to the rank of sergeant.
When the war officially became a reality, many chapters of Connecticut militia rushed to Massachusetts to help their neighbors during the Siege of Boston, but Hale was unsure whether to join these forces or to wait and see what would unfold. He was a young professional teacher that had a lot to lose especially with not being clear about what was happening.
In early July 1775, Nathan received a heartfelt letter from his best friend, Benjamin Tallmadge, who had seen the war firsthand and was now relaying about the situation. Tallmadge told Nathan that teaching school was truly noble, but at this time, it was critical to consider the responsibility of defending this glorious country. The day after receiving this letter, Nathan Hale resigned his teaching position and became dedicated to the call of duty.
When George Washington reorganized the army in January, 1776, Nathan received a captain’s commission where he spent six months helping to build fortifications and preparing for the inevitable battle for Manhattan Island. Early in September 1776, Washington formed an elite, green beret-type group of New England Rangers and Hale was soon invited to command one of the four companies whose mission was forward reconnaissance.
Washington desperately needed to know the probable site of the upcoming British invasion and the best way to obtain this pivotal information was to send a spy behind enemy lines. This was extremely dangerous and guess who volunteered?
It is not verified exactly how Hale was captured, but we know he was immediately brought for questioning before the British commander, General William Howe. Intelligence information was found on Nathan and since this was not in code or invisible ink, he was irrevocably compromised. Although Howe was moved by the young man’s demeanor and patriotism, it could not be denied that he was out of uniform behind enemy lines. The customs of war were clear, and Nathan was sentenced to hang. The next morning, Sunday, September 22, 1776 at 11 a.m., Nathan Hale was marched north, about a mile up the post road to the Park of Artillery where after giving a spirited speech he was executed.
A British military engineer and cartographer named John Montresor witnessed the event and was deeply touched by Nathan's composure and his last words.
As fate would have it, Captain Montresor was ordered to deliver a message from General Howe to Washington under a white flag that very afternoon. Montresor sincerely emphasized that Nathan had impressed everyone with his sense of dignity and courage, quoted Nathans words, while he stood on the gallows: “I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.”
Nathan Hale’s body was left hanging for several days near the site of his execution and later was buried in an unmarked grave. He was 21 years old.

A hot weekend will lead to a “heatwave on the way” next week a Met Office forecast has confirmed with temperatures up to 29C in Horsham. A “big area of high pressure” is closing in on the UK which will push out existing fronts in favour of a hot and sunny week ahead.
This will “amble its way in” and dominate our weather well into next week according to Met Office meteorologist Alex Deakin. He said: “There’s going to be a lot of dry and increasingly sunny weather in the next week and a half but the main talking point is the temperatures. A heatwave is on the cards.”
The forecaster continued: “On Monday we are likely to see values up and down the land in the mid-twenties, quite likely across parts of eastern England up to 30C. The early part of next week, lots of sunshine, hot sunshine as well.”

Southampton fly tipping on the wane with new mobile CCTV units
- Published
The amount of fly tipping in a city is dropping following the introduction of mobile CCTV units, a local authority has said.
Southampton City Council said it had issued £400 fixed penalty notices (FPNs) to a number of offenders, with other cases under investigation.
It said the solar-powered cameras would be deployed in various parts of the city in the coming months.
The council added it was taking a "proactive approach" to fly tippers.
The city has long had a problem with fly tipping, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS).
A 40ft (12m) high mound of fly-tipped waste caused part of a sewage pipe to burst in Sholing in 2011.
Residents said the garden in Botany Bay Road, directly above the pipe, had been used as an illegal dumping site for the previous 30 years.
The three places where the new devices have been trialled are Drummond Drive, Westridge Road car park, and Green Park car park in Wimpson Lane.
All three were suffering large scale, frequent fly tipping before the CCTV signs and cameras were installed, the council said.
"Loving where you live and showing pride in your community costs nothing, but the council having to clear up fly tips costs everyone money," councillor Toqeer Kataria said.
"The council is taking a proactive approach to catch, fine or prosecute those that fly tip. There have been positive results since the deployment of the mobile solar powered CCTV units, targeting hot spots," she said.

Humberstone: Man who fell from cliff admits killing wife
By Will Jefford
BBC News
- Published
A man who was found with serious injuries at the bottom of a cliff following the death of his wife has pleaded guilty to her manslaughter.
Kaushik Solanki, 55, admitted to the charge on the grounds of diminished responsibility due to a mental illness.
His wife, Manisha Solanki, was found dead at a house in Humberstone on 15 April 2021.
He pleaded guilty at Leicester Crown court on Friday and will be sentenced later this month.
Leicestershire Police became concerned for the welfare of Mrs Solanki after receiving a call from her family in April last year.
A short time later, a call was received from Norfolk Constabulary to say Mr Solanki had been found seriously injured in Hunstanton with life-threatening injuries.
The police went to the address in Tennis Court Drive in Humberstone and forced entry where the body of Mrs Solanki was found.
Officers in Cambridgeshire - where Kaushik, 55, had been taken to receive treatment - arrested him on suspicion of murder.
However, he was released on bail while he received medical care. In December, following his release, he was charged with the murder of Mrs Solanki, 49.
Senior investigating officer Det Insp Jenni Heggs, from the East Midlands Special Operations Unit (EMSOU) major crime team, said: "My thoughts are with friends and family of the Solankis at this very difficult time.
"During our investigation, it was determined that Kaushik Solanki was suffering from an abnormality of mental functioning which led to him taking his wife's life.
"While I appreciate today's outcome will not bring Manisha back, I hope it will provide a degree of closure and allow them to move on with their lives."

China’s growing influence in Pacific Ocean microstates has raised alarm among the powers that traditionally dominated the region — Australia, New Zealand and the US. If they want to halt Beijing’s advance, they must start offering more in return.
A security pact with the Solomon Islands earlier this year first showed the scope of Beijing’s ambitions, permitting China’s police and military to operate in the country. Similar deals were offered to a group of 10 countries alongside a visit by Chinese Minister of Foreign Affairs Wang Yi (王毅) in May.
Wang is seeking a meeting with ministers of the island countries at the same time that leaders assemble next week for the annual Pacific Islands Forum, the main multilateral body for the region.
China can afford to be so energetic in its diplomacy because the status quo has grown stale and is no longer serving the interests of these governments.
The Pacific has traditionally been divided between an Australian sphere of influence in the mountainous, more populous territories of Papua New Guinea and Melanesia; a New Zealand sphere in the Polynesian archipelagos south of the equator; and a US one in the smaller islands of Micronesia strung between Hawaii and Guam north of the equator.
It is hard to argue that the region has done very well from this arrangement. Thanks to their geographic isolation and minuscule populations, Pacific states do far worse than small island countries elsewhere in the world.
Outside Fiji, tourism is rudimentary. To this day, most goods exports consist of fish, coconut and pearls. The offshore financial centers that helped make Mauritius and many Caribbean countries relatively wealthy were stamped out in the Pacific before they became established. Income levels, when adjusted for the relatively high cost of living, are on a par with sub-Saharan Africa.
What the Pacific nations lack in terms of economic strength, however, they make up for with one strong card: their sovereignty. If you include East Timor, Pacific island nations make up 13 of the 38 members of the Small Island Developing States grouping at the UN.
That bloc, in theory, has greater voting power than the 27 nations of the EU, or the 22 non-island states in the Americas, helping secure committee appointments and diplomatic wins for its allies. Melanesian countries such as the Solomon Islands, moreover, are less than 2,000km from Australia’s coast, making a Chinese military presence there a worry for Canberra.
Island governments have a long history of trading diplomacy for development assistance. Four of the 14 states that recognize Taiwan instead of China are in the Pacific; three others have in the past switched allegiance between Taipei and Beijing, making the most of the geopolitical competition between the powers.
Their willingness to entertain more substantial overtures from Beijing is a sign that these nations are growing more assertive, said Sarina Theys, a lecturer in diplomacy at the University of the South Pacific in Suva, Fiji.
“They’re realizing they have more power than they initially thought,” she said. “They’re becoming more vocal and claiming their place on the global stage.”
In that sense, China’s growing interest is seen locally not so much as a threat, but as an opportunity to gain leverage with the traditional major powers on the periphery of the Pacific. Australian Minister for Foreign Affairs Penny Wong’s (黃英賢) first act after coming to power in the country’s May election was a diplomatic visit to woo governments attracted by Beijing’s overtures. A more open door for labor and permanent migration into Australia is also promised by Wong’s government.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken in March appointed a former US ambassador in Malaysia to oversee a renewal of pacts expiring over the next two years with Palau, the Marshall Islands and the Federated States of Micronesia — three nations that are closely aligned with the US through migration and development agreements.
In per-capita terms, the larger Pacific powers have been extraordinarily generous in aid and development assistance over the years. It is not clear, though, whether Beijing’s promises of investment will happen, or be effective if they do. The experience of countries such as Sri Lanka and Pakistan, left with debt burdens and under-utilized infrastructure, suggests a policy of caution.
China also is not an obviously better actor on the single biggest issue for island governments — global warming and its threats to the viability of some of the more low-lying states.
“Climate change is an existential challenge in the region,” Theys said. “It’s the most important security threat the Pacific island states have.”
Still, a more competitive diplomatic space in the Pacific is very much in the interests of the region, even if it annoys neighbors who have grown comfortable with the status quo.
In entertaining but ultimately rejecting the 10-nation security pact proposed by Wang, island governments have shown that they are growing skilled at the traditional statecraft of minor powers — playing larger nations off each other.
Major powers need to pay more attention to the Pacific in their future dealings. For island governments, that is not a bad thing.

The global chip shortage last year caused an unprecedented supply-chain crisis, affecting many key industries, including the auto industry. Europe, Japan and the US began to realize the indispensability and ubiquitous dominance of Taiwan’s semiconductor manufacturing industry. At the same time, amid the US-China trade war, Beijing’s military aggressions against Taiwan became increasingly blatant and provocative. In light of these developments, Europe, Japan and the US are formulating new policies to rebuild their domestic semiconductor manufacturing base, so as to mitigate the enormous geopolitical and economic risks involved.

Anniversaries can serve multiple functions. For example when Taiwan commemorates the 228 Incident, there is a combined feeling of sadness over the sufferings following the events in 1947, joined with the resolve that such a tragedy should never be allowed to happen again. This year, when Chinese President Xi Jinping (習近平) attended the 25th anniversary of the UK’s 1997 handover of Hong Kong to the People’s Republic of China (PRC), a different and strange mood prevailed.

Macy Gray says America left her ‘traumatized’
2020 events inspired 'I Try' singer's album 'The Reset.' The album release has been pushed back following her controversial remarks on gender identity.
Macy Gray has been the center of controversy this week.
The singer received backlash for comments she made about gender identity during an interview with Piers Morgan, which prompted critics to call her "ignorant," "transphobic," a "one-hit wonder" and a "TERF" (transgender-exclusionary radical feminist). Gray has continued to speak out about her statements, including on Wednesday in an Instagram post, in which she revealed that her new album, "The Reset," was pushed back to August 10. It was originally scheduled for July 8.
"All of you coming on my page, threatening me and calling me names – just becuz I said something you don’t agree with – be whatever you wana be and fk off," wrote the 54-year-old, who later said in an interview she "never meant to hurt anybody."
Gray told "TODAY" host Hoda Kotb "it’s just about education" and wants to get to a point where everyone can "understand each other." She noted it has been a "huge learning experience" for her. "Being a woman is a vibe, and it’s something that I’m very proud of," she said. "And it’s very precious to me and I think that if you, in your heart, feel that that’s what you are, then that’s what you are regardless of what anybody says or thinks."
BETTE MIDLER, MACY GRAY FACING BACKLASH OVER THEIR DEFINITION OF WOMEN
Shortly before the singer made her controversial remarks, she spoke to Fox News Digital about how the events of 2020 inspired her to create "The Reset." In May of that year, she, along with the rest of the country, saw a graphic video of Ahmaud Arbery’s death that circulated online.
In February 2020, the 25-year-old Arbery was shot in a suburban neighborhood about 15 minutes from downtown Brunswick, Georgia. Greg and Travis McMichael armed themselves and used a pickup truck to chase Arbery after spotting him running in their neighborhood. Neighbor William "Roddie" Bryan joined the pursuit in his truck and recorded a cellphone video of Travis blasting Arbery with a shotgun.
None of the three men were arrested until more than two months later when that video of Arbery’s shooting leaked online and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation took over the case from local police. The three men each face possible life sentences after being convicted of hate crimes by a federal jury that concluded they chased and killed Arbery because he was Black. Sentencing was postponed until Aug. 8 of this year.
"When that video appeared, I just thought about [Arbery's] mother," Gray told Fox News Digital. "They kept showing that clip over and over. I just thought, ‘What if she’s watching?’ Me and my two best friends, Charyn [Harris] and Grace [Blake], were on the phone, talking about it. We wanted to do something."

In May 2020 George Floyd, a Black man, died when then-officer Derek Chauvin pinned him to the ground and pressed a knee to his neck for what authorities say was 9 1/2 minutes. The killing of the 46-year-old sparked protests worldwide in a reckoning over police brutality and racism.
Macy, who is a mother of three, teamed up with her two pals to launch Mygood, a nonprofit that aims to support the families who have lost loved ones to police brutality.
"This is something you don’t hear about - those that get left behind," said Gray. "These are parents that have to live with that pain, a pain that never goes away. And you can’t fix it. You can’t take away that pain from a mother who lost her son or daughter through murder. But you can make some things easier, like helping financially with funerals. And the biggest request we receive is mental health resources. They all want someone to talk to, but they don’t know where to go."
Gray said that through the foundation, she has heard stories from families who are grieving and struggling to cope.
MACY GRAY RESPONDS TO BACKLASH, ACCUSATIONS OF 'TRANSPHOBIA' OVER HER DEFINITION OF A WOMAN
"It honestly became unbearable," she admitted. "I had to take a break. We were talking to parents on Zoom, and I was sharing these stories on my social media platforms to raise awareness. But I had to take a break because it was so painful hearing these stories. It was heartbreaking. I feel bad saying that. But none of these deaths were justified. And look, I’m all for police. We’re not anti-police at all. But you still have a mother, a father, sister, brother, son, daughter, who will never be the same because of this… And every time my son goes out, I get worried sick. He’s 26 and can handle himself. But after you hear these stories, you can’t help but wonder. And worry."
When reflecting on "The Reset," the singer said there is a song called "PTSD" which describes how the events of 2020 in America left her "traumatized."
"It’s about what’s going on in the world and what it did to everybody mentally," she explained. "I know everybody’s a little messed up after all that. We still have the residue of it with January 6 and all the politics that are still happening, everything that our last regime left behind. All of this has been dropped on us. We’re still trying to recover."
Gray said she created her latest album while isolated during the coronavirus pandemic.
MACY GRAY'S CALL FOR A NEW AMERICAN FLAG RECEIVES MIXED REACTIONS: 'NOW THE FLAG IS TOO WHITE?!'
"At the end of the night, you pray that the next day will be better," she said. "We were all emotional and just all over the place. So I just went in and did my thing. It felt like the right time to just pour everything out there."
Gray hopes that "The Reset" will "uplift" listeners during this "weird time" in history.
"I hope it makes people happy somehow," she said. "There’s just so much violence and chaos right now. We have a mess here, and I don’t know how we’re gonna get out of it. There seems to be no strategy here. Nobody seems to be talking about that. Politicians are just focused on getting reelected, not really looking after us… So I do hope this album gives everybody a break. That’s really all music can do, help you forget about all your problems. You can forget about other people’s opinions of you, how much money you don’t have, and what you need to do next. But we’ll see what’s next."

Leeds United have set their sights on Club Brugge's Belgian international forward, Charles De Ketelaere as they look to put the final touch to Jesse Marsch's squad before the start of the Premier League season next month. However, they are not alone in coveting the highly-rated youngster, with AC Milan also bidding for De Ketelaere.
The Italian champions are said to be the player's preferred destination for next season but, in the current financial climate, even top European teams are finding that they are unable to compete with Premier League teams when it comes to the financial side of deals. That means that there is some hope that Milan won't be able to agree a deal for the 21-year-old, with Leeds believed to have the higher bid on the table.
According to reports in Italy, Milan are resolved to bring their bid up to the same level as the Whites' though, after they already lost out to Newcastle United for their top centre back target, Sven Botman, earlier this summer. There had been rumours that the Italian side were unwilling to pay a fee of over €30million for any player this summer, and bidding to the same level as the one Victor Orta has submitted on behalf of Leeds means that the Rossoneri would be 'altering their strategy'.

However, it seems that they are so keen on the player that they are will break that self-imposed limit. Reports from both Italy and Belgium have consistently stated that De Keteleare is most interested in a move to Milan, so if it is the case that the Italian side make a bid that is deemed acceptable by the Club Brugge, it would likely knock Leeds out of the race for the striker. Orta is said to have three primary targets for each position he has been recruiting for this summer, so this would see him move for one of those players, though it is unclear at this stage who those other targets might be.

The Money Saving Expert said latest energy price cap predictions will see a typical bill shoot up to more than £3,000 a year, meaning energy bills will be more than a third of the full state pension.
Martin - who has already predicted a bleak winter - said the new predictions - which would see a typical bill at £3244 a year in October and hit £3,363 by Jan - is more than £400 higher than previous predictions and eats up all the promised government help for energy bills, Yorkshire Live reports.

Taking to Twitter, Martin said: "I feel sick writing this! I've just got the latest price cap predictions from @CornwallInsight. A huge spike in the key year-ahead wholesale price means OCT cap prediction UP 64% (so £3,244/yr on typical bills) JAN cap prediction UP 4% (so £3,363/yr).
"It's horrendous. Especially as we're now near the end of the assessment period that sets Oct's cap, so this is the right ball park. The Oct prediction is now £450/yr HIGHER than Ofgem mooted in May and that was what Sunak based the £400-£1,200/yr help on.
"Please share - people need to know what's coming to see if they can prepare for it." Many replied saying people will not be able to cope with the increases.
UnicornsRockUK said: "The monthly UC payment is £335 pm to pay for utilities, food, water, clothing, transport. After payment for utilities they'll have £105pm for everything else. It doesn't compute. And many who are employed now may find that won't be for long and need to get used to benefits."
And MizTaylor1 said: "Prepare what? Buy more woolly jumpers? Sell (or burn) furniture?If we can't afford energy price rises we either won't put heating on, e.g, or we'll get disconnected. You'd better warn the energy providers to prepare for debt, as I have nothing else I can 'prepare' with."
NeilGibson said: "My best advice is forget about trying to have a good summer and put your money into being ready. What is coming is unlike anything we have faced in our lifetime."
And @whoareyou said: "Thanks for all your hard work Martin. That figure is just under a quarter of my income! can't prepare for it as already done a thorough cull of my expenses. I've checked & not entitled to any benefits as single person no children,my mortgage is small though. Have a nice weekend."

SEOUL, South Korea — In South Korea, one of the world’s most technologically advanced countries, there are few limits to what can be done conveniently online — except if you are using the wrong web browser.
On Google Chrome, you cannot make business payments online as a corporate customer of one of the country’s largest foreign-owned banks. If you are using Apple’s Safari, you are unable to apply for artist funding through the National Culture and Arts website. And if you are a proprietor of a child care facility, registering your organization with the Health and Welfare Ministry’s website is not possible on Mozilla’s Firefox.
In all of these cases, Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, or a similar alternative, is the required browser.
When Microsoft shut down Internet Explorer, or IE, on June 15, the company said it would start redirecting users to its newer Edge browser in the coming months. The announcement inspired jokes and memes commemorating the internet of yesteryear. But in South Korea, IE is not some online artifact. The defunct browser is still needed for a small number of critical banking and government-related tasks that many people cannot live without.
South Korea’s fealty to Internet Explorer, 27 years after its introduction and now into its retirement, presents a heavy dose of irony: A country known for blazing broadband and innovative devices is tethered to a buggy and insecure piece of software abandoned by most of the world long ago.
Most South Korean websites work on every browser, including Google Chrome, which takes up about 54% of the country’s internet usage. Internet Explorer is less than 1%, according to Statcounter. And yet after the announcement from Microsoft, there was a last-minute scramble among some essential sites to prepare for life after IE.
The South Korean arm of the British bank Standard Chartered warned corporate customers in May that they would need to start using the Edge browser in “IE mode” to access its “Straight2Bank” internet banking platform. Various Korean government websites told users that some services would likely face disruptions if they did not switch to Edge.
In May, Naver, one of Korea’s biggest internet companies, highlighted a feature of its Whale browser that allows access to sites that required Internet Explorer. Kim Hyo, who heads Naver’s Whale team, said the company had originally added the option in 2016. He thought it would no longer be needed when Microsoft shut down IE.
But as the final days approached, Kim realized that some Korean websites would not make the switch in time, so he kept the feature and changed its name to “Internet Explorer mode.” Modernizing websites that had catered to IE for decades was “quite a large task,” he said, and some sites “just missed the deadline.”
South Korea’s reliance on Internet Explorer dates back to the 1990s when the country became a forerunner in using the internet for banking and shopping. In order to protect online transactions, the government passed a law in 1999 requiring encrypted digital certificates for any matter that had previously called for a person’s signature.
Verifying a person’s identity required additional software that connected to the browser, known as a plug-in. The South Korean government authorized five companies to issue such digital certificates using a Microsoft plug-in called ActiveX. But the plug-in only worked on Internet Explorer.
At the time, using a Microsoft plug-in seemed like an obvious choice. Microsoft Windows software ruled the personal computer market in the 1990s, and Internet Explorer had leveraged that position to become the dominant browser. Because key Korean websites required IE, other websites began catering to Microsoft’s browser, reinforcing its importance. By one estimate, Internet Explorer had 99% market share in Korea between 2004 and 2009.
“We were really the only game in town,” said James Kim, who led Microsoft in South Korea from 2009 to 2015. Kim, who now heads the American Chamber of Commerce in Seoul, South Korea, said Microsoft did not try to thwart the competition, but a lot of things “didn’t work” without IE.
Kim Keechang, a law professor at Korea University in Seoul, said Internet Explorer’s stranglehold on South Korea was so complete in the early 2000s that most South Koreans “couldn’t name another browser.”
When Kim returned to South Korea in 2002 after teaching abroad, he discovered that he could not do anything online with his computer running Linux, a free, open-source alternative to Windows, and Firefox. Every year, he went to an internet cafe to access a computer with IE in order to file his taxes on a government site.
In 2007, Kim filed a lawsuit against the Korea Financial Telecommunications & Clearings Institute, one of the five government-approved private companies assigned to issue digital certificates. He argued that the company, which issued about 80% of South Korea’s certificates, had unjustly discriminated against him by not allowing other browsers.
Over a three-year period, Kim lost the case, lost the appeal and lost at the country’s Supreme Court. But his court battle drew broader attention to the pitfalls of South Korea’s system, especially after a 2009 cyberattack exploited ActiveX to spread malware on Korean computers.
With the advent of smartphones, an industry built on software from Apple and Google, South Korea, like much of the world, started to reduce its reliance on Microsoft. In 2010, the country issued guidelines that government websites should be compatible with three different web browsers. But changing the plumbing of South Korea’s internet was not easy — especially as banks and credit card companies stood by the existing system.
As public opinion shifted, users bristled at the inconvenience of needing to use ActiveX to buy things online. Critics argued that the technology had failed to meet its purpose because the plug-in software had actually made users less safe.
Microsoft introduced Edge in 2015 as a replacement for Internet Explorer, and the company said it was not supporting ActiveX in the new browser. Chrome became the country’s top browser three years earlier.
In 2020, South Korea amended the 1999 law to eliminate the need for digital certificates, a move that seemed to close the book on ActiveX and Internet Explorer. That same year, Microsoft started removing support for IE in some of its online services. A year later, the company announced that it planned to retire Internet Explorer altogether.
While much of the world joked about Internet Explorer’s demise, one South Korean engineer marked the occasion in a more somber way.
Jung Ki-young, a 39-year-old software developer, erected a tombstone for IE on the rooftop of his older brother’s cafe in Gyeongju, a city on Korea’s southeastern coast around 170 miles from Seoul. He paid $330 for the monument, which was engraved with the browser’s recognizable “e” logo and an inscription: “He was a good tool to download other browsers.”
Jung said he had his share of frustrations with Internet Explorer, but he felt the browser that had introduced so many South Koreans to the web deserved a proper goodbye. “Using Internet Explorer was difficult and frustrating, but it also served a good purpose,” Jung said. “I don’t feel good about just retiring it with a ‘we don’t need you anymore’ attitude.” | https://www.seattletimes.com/business/technology/even-in-death-internet-explorer-lives-on-in-south-korea/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_world | 2022-07-09T10:14:01Z | https://www.seattletimes.com/business/technology/even-in-death-internet-explorer-lives-on-in-south-korea/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_world | true |

Fresh Air Weekend highlights some of the best interviews and reviews from past weeks, and new program elements specially paced for weekends. Our weekend show emphasizes interviews with writers, filmmakers, actors and musicians, and often includes excerpts from live in-studio concerts. This week:
A pediatric neurosurgeon reflects on his intense job, and the post-Roe landscape: Jay Wellons has operated on children's brains and spinal cords. He knows the anguish of losing a patient and the exhilaration of saving a child's life. His memoir is All That Moves Us.
In the Greek film 'Apples,' a mysterious condition leaves people without memories: An unnamed man inexplicably loses his memory in this strange and singular film. Apples is about how we deal with grief and loneliness, especially when memory becomes more of a curse than a blessing.
Island Records founder Chris Blackwell looks back on his life in music: Blackwell grew up in Jamaica, and, as the head of Island Records, helped launch the careers of reggae stars like Bob Marley and Jimmy Cliff, as well as rock bands like U2. His memoir is The Islander.

A few streets outside of Milan's city center is an uncharacteristically utilitarian block of 1930s flats. From her window in one of these buildings, the electronic musician Caterina Barbieri can see the geometric cubes of the opposite apartments — "industrial and depressing," she says over Zoom from her living room. Worse yet, they remind the 31-year-old of the architecture in Berlin, the very place she sought to leave behind in 2018. "I hated that when I moved here," she admits. "I was trying to get away from it."
In March 2020 at the very start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Barbieri found herself confined to this Milanese apartment. She recalls neighbors being afraid to step out onto balconies; traveling even just a few blocks down the road required a slip of paper from the Italian authorities. But for all of the terror and paranoia that defined the early days of the pandemic, the composer confesses the situation aligned well with her own schedule; she needed time, if not necessarily space, to write the follow-up to the algorithmic, arpeggiated songs of 2019's critically acclaimed Ecstatic Computation. As a result of the "exceptional isolated condition," she threw herself into the process in an "ascetic way," spending the entirety of each day writing and recording, all as the heaviness of the situation grew around her — the death toll rising, the lockdown extending.
The artwork of Spirit Exit, Barbieri's new album and the fruits of this intense period, shows the composer cutting a suspended Ophelia-like pose — somewhere between a state of euphoria and death. That state of being will likely resonate with anyone who has seen Barbieri live. Her music made mostly using analog synthesizers is renowned for stimulating acute, often pleasurable physiological responses in the listener, the sounds designed to work in conjunction with the physical space they're heard in. On the opening track "At Your Gamut," she achieves this effect to a greater degree than her previous works as webs of hypnotic synthesizer induce waves of prickling ASMR bliss. Barbieri, who art directed the visual material alongside artist Ruben Spini, also points to the baroque sculpture Ecstasy of Saint Teresa as a key inspiration. "Erotic and distant," she says, describing the work — with "ambiguous sensorial states" equally applicable to the music itself.
Barbieri was born in 1990 in Bologna, Italy. She began studying classical guitar at the age of 11 before joining the Conservatory of Bologna at 14, practicing up to six hours a day, and enjoying the melancholic Renaissance music of composer John Dowland. But as a teenager she found herself drawn to the extreme, amplified music of noise, metal and doom — artists and bands such as Keiji Haino and Corrupted. This brutal music was an early lesson on the relationship between music and the body, an opportunity to "surrender to sound, almost dissolve into it."
At home, Barbieri was surrounded by an even greater variety of sound. Her father, who owned a music collection stretching from Terry Riley's minimalism to avant-garde jazz, was a saxophonist in no-wave bands during the 1970s and '80s. Her grandmother trained as an opera singer at the same conservatory as Barbieri decades before. Although she never sang professionally, Barbieri remembers her performances of "very emotional, sentimental opera like Puccini and Rossini" at family gatherings.
The young musician embodied these divergent performance traditions, joining a drone band in her late teens. "It was really weird playing classical guitar with long nails and then going to perform in this band where I was doing more of these drone and metal-type sounds — very massive physical experiences," says Barbieri. "Coming from a classical upbringing which requires so much control and discipline, these physical experiences were very liberating."
Ever since, the physicality of music — how it impacts the body and the way space can alter its effect — has been central to Barbieri's work. Having done a residency at Stockholm's famed center for sound art Elektronmusikstudion, where she encountered the Buchla 200, analog synthesizers have been the primary tool through which she explores these ideas. Her second album, 2017's Patterns Of Consciousness, was developed during 2016 live shows, an experiment in how patterns of sound, and their gradual transformation, can literally alter consciousness. In an interview with the outlet Resident Advisor, Barbieri jokingly referred to her audience as "victims" but she was deadly serious about how the space shaped the way she and the audience heard the dense synth matrices. "I was interested in hearing isolated sounds," she said. "[The sounds] get gigantic because it's a huge-scale room. So if you open a filter, close a filter, or work with delays, it gets really monumental."
Fast forward to March 2020 and Barbieri is alone at home in her apartment. Outside, the streets are eerily quiet; inside, her days are interrupted only by the ring of the doorbell as groceries and other essentials arrive. In her home studio, Barbieri is surrounded by her beloved modular synthesizer, an electric guitar and laptop. This time round there is no audience or grand space to bounce a record's worth of ideas and sound off — just herself, four walls and the occasionally striking sunsets visible from the room. Barbieri freely admits it was a "big shift," missing the "feedback of energy" that previously helped her sculpt electronic signals and algorithms into razor sharp compositions. But the musician also says she'd reached the end of the road with that particular mode of working, itself borne from the constraints of touring — namely the limitations of what she could lug around on the road.
Despite the isolated working process, Spirit Exit is Barbieri's lushest album. The synths still fizz, darting and swooping in concert like a twinkling, virtual constellation, but they have less of an acid crunch. On "Transfixed," Barbieri sings (not the first time in her discography, but most prominently), her vocals layered and autotuned, processed through her modular synthesizer as if she has finally become the cyborg hinted at through her discography. During "Canticle of Cryo," post-rock guitars join the synthesizers, Barbieri's vocals no longer wordless. "You melt time / You melt skies / You challenge centuries," she sings, the album's ecstatic, nearly devotional themes pushed to their metaphysical limit.
As she worked on the album in total solitude, Barbieri began to see a parallel between her own circumstances and women who have created work in a similarly hermetic state. She references the notorious recluse and 19th century poet Emily Dickinson, as well as the 16th century Spanish nun Saint Teresa of Ávila, figures who looked deep inside of themselves to create art that aimed to inspire higher states of consciousness. "The state of isolation resonated with me because it seems to be at the root of this visionary female thinking," says Barbieri. "These women couldn't freely move in the outside world so they were longing for freedom in their own interior worlds. They redirected their energy towards the cultivation of cosmic, nearly science fiction work."
On "Broken Melody," Barbieri occupies that kindred space more explicitly than ever. Backed by a pensive, gently plucked guitar, she sings angelically of "Accessing edges / Of ecstasy / That no other alien could imagine." Synths gradually rise in intensity before erupting as a deluge of arpeggios, Barbieri's vocals transforming into an emo wail. "Like a melting snowflake in your mouth / Our future is so volatile," she cries, simultaneously focusing on the ephemerality of the present and a sense of time stretching onwards uncertainly.
These big ideas of time, perception and euphoria might sound religious but that's not how they figure in Barbieri's thinking. The ecstasy that her albums quest towards stems from Barbieri's idea of being present in the moment, a "radical imminence" as she puts it. She describes sounds hitting the ear, getting transduced into electrical impulses in the brain, and the body vibrating at that particular frequency. "It's a physical phenomena, a simple experience," she says, "and somehow it makes you more receptive towards what's happening around you." Barbieri puts it another way: the act of listening is a "gate," one that puts you in communion with your surroundings.
At the close of Spirit Exit on "The Landscape Listens," the electronic artist paints a gently undulating picture of nature itself. The title invokes a line from Dickinson's poem, "There's a certain Slant of light": "When it comes — the Landscape listens / Shadows — hold their breath," words that present nature as a fundamentally dynamic phenomenon, filled with movement, motion and wonder, the same qualities as Barbieri's spiraling synthesizer music. For the artist who finds inspiration in nature, "music is able to convey the beautiful, ineffable feelings it triggers." She says these kinds of experiences, "almost spiritual moments of connection," are becoming increasingly rare in our "ultra-capitalist societies," within which nearly every aspect of our lives is commodified.
If there is a broader aim of Barbieri's work then it's to break the bonds of forces that all too often hold us in stasis, that keep us closed off from the world. Her music is deeply psychedelic and, by extension, subversive; like nature its effects can't quite be narrowed down or predicted. As such, "The Landscape Listens" is a fitting, expansive end to an album rooted in solitude but which "longs for the outside world, longs for real life" — in all of its incongruences, imperfections and wonder. For Barbieri, like Dickinson, such a place was fundamentally inaccessible; instead, shuttered in isolation, she was forced to create "a vastness of space on the inside."

Declan Donnelly has paid tribute to his “darling brother” after his untimely death.
Father Dermott Donnelly collapsed and was taken to North Durham Hospital, where he was described as “seriously ill.”
He tragically passed away at the age of 55, after suffering a bleed to the brain.
Taking to Ant and Dec’s joint Twitter account on Friday, Dec paid tribute to his late brother.
He penned, “I am heartbroken to tell you that my darling brother Fr Dermott, @TweeterPriest, sadly passed away this afternoon.”
“We are all beyond devastated. Thank you for your messages of sympathy and support, they are appreciated 🙏.”

KINSHASA, Congo (AP) — Rebels attacked a hospital in Congo and killed at least 13 people, including infants and patients, according to hospital and military officials. The Congolese army said three attackers were killed when the military intervened.
Some hospital staff are missing and several houses were burned in the attack Thursday night on the medical center in Lume, North Kivu province. It’s the largest health facility in the region.
Among those killed in the attack were three infants and four patients, hospital chief Kule Bwenge told reporters.
“Four blocks of the medical center were set on fire. Several sick guards, as well as a nurse, are missing,” he said.
The reason for targeting the hospital was unclear.
In the nearby village of Kidolo, four other people were killed with machetes and shot, apparently as part of the same attack.
North Kivu military spokesman Anthony Mualushayi said the attackers were Mai-Mai militia members from the Dido group. In addition to the attackers who were killed, one was captured in the ensuing clashes, he said.
But local civic groups accused rebels of the Uganda-based Allied Democratic Forces, or ADF, of carrying out the attack. ADF rebels have been active in eastern Congo for decades and have killed thousands in the region since they resurfaced in 2013.
Other attacks were reported last week in the nearby towns of Bulongo and Kilya, also in North Kivu.
North Kivu is in eastern Congo and borders Uganda and Rwanda. Eastern Congo sees daily threats from armed groups battling for the region’s rich mineral wealth, which the world mines for electric cars, laptops and mobile phones. | https://www.wric.com/news/u-s-world/infants-patients-among-13-killed-in-congo-hospital-attack/ | 2022-07-09T10:41:26Z | https://www.wric.com/news/u-s-world/infants-patients-among-13-killed-in-congo-hospital-attack/ | false |
What is the best fishing net?
Hooking a fish takes patience and skill. Experienced anglers know the reward of landing the day’s prize. But landing a fish is difficult with your bare hands. That’s why fishing nets are important gear to bring fish into the boat and make sure all your hard work isn’t in vain.
Fishing nets are not only good for anglers, but rubber mesh nets are good for fish you may release back into the water. The best fishing net is the Wakeman Retractable Fishing Net, which has an expandable handle for hard-to-reach places, then retracts to a smaller size for easy stowing.
What to know before you buy a fishing net
What length of fishing net is best?
This depends on the length of your boat and the height of its gunwale. The farther you have to reach beyond the boat’s edge, the longer the net handle you need. Kayakers and jon boaters need shorter handles. If you have limited storage, look for fishing nets with telescopic handles that can be extended, then retracted when no longer in use. Keep in mind that retractable handles are not as strong as solid handles.
What kind of mesh is best?
There are three types of mesh, but only one is good for fish.
- Coated nylon and knotless nylon are rugged and stand up to tough conditions, but can be rough on fish.
- Nylon can cause scale and mucous damage to delicate species. This is a significant consideration for catch and release fishing.
- Rubber mesh is the best option if you want to protect the fish. It also tends to take less time to remove fish and hooks from rubber mesh.
What shape of net is best?
Teardrop and squared-off teardrop shaped nets are versatile and popular. They are designed for anglers to gather a struggling fish more easily. Some have a raised front in case you have to reach extra far.
What to look for in a quality fishing net
Size
The size of net is influenced by the length of fish you are catching. It is always better to have too large a net if you have to err on one side.
Material
There are three main types of frame material.
- Aluminum is the most common frame material. It is strong, lightweight and resists corrosion.
- Fiberglass is stronger than aluminum, but it is heavier. It is usually reserved for larger nets and fish.
- Wood and wood laminate frames offer a classic look with good strength. They are ideal for shorter nets for small boats and kayaks.
Retractable handle
Long handles are not easy to store. Retractable handles can be collapsed into a shorter length that will fit inside the boat or eventually a storage bin offshore. The length of retractable handles varies from 2 to 10 feet, with most measuring between 4 to 6 feet.
Mesh size
A net’s mesh holes are important for the type of fish you’re snaring. Smaller fish, such as trout, need small micromesh holes. Heavier fish such as walleye or bass need 1-inch size holes. The biggest fish need holes that are 1.5 to 2 inches apart, because this creates less resistance to gliding the net easily through the water.
How much you can expect to spend on a fishing net
Inexpensive fishing nets, which are the shortest nets and built for smaller fish, such as trout, are priced at $25-$40. Midrange fishing nets cost $40-$75, and there is an abundance of telescopic options in this range with strong aluminum frames. Expensive nets run $75-$150. These are the longest and strongest, designed for the largest fish; they often have fiberglass and carbon fiber composite frames with retractable handles.
Fishing net FAQ
Why is it important to protect a fish’s slime coat?
A. Since nylon and cloth-based mesh can wipe away a fish’s slime coat, it is important to use rubber mesh. A slime coat is the fish’s primary layer of protection against disease and parasites. It is similar to a human being’s top layer of skin. If a fish loses the slime coat and is tossed back into the water, it is unprotected and vulnerable to sickness and injury.
Are there special nets for fly fishing?
A. Some nets are marketed for fly fishing, but most nets can be used. The key consideration is using one with rubber mesh to protect the delicate species of fish that are often part of fly fishing.

A century or more ago, Baltimore artists created, drew and produced beautiful images within the solid walls of the Hoen lithography plant on Biddle Street on the east side.
The headquarters of the producer of detailed maps, colorful canning labels and Maryland rye whiskey labels closed 40 years ago and fell vacant. Trees sprouted in its decomposing walls. It was a six-alarm fire waiting to happen.
“It was an absolute disaster,” said Trevor Pryce, 46, the former Ravens defensive lineman who has leased a considerable portion of the old high-end printing plant, redeveloped by Cross Street Partners, for his live animation business, the Outlook Company.
Pryce, who grew up in central Florida, attended the University of Michigan and graduated from Clemson University, and played 14 seasons in the NFL. He founded a record label, Outlook Music Company, in 2001 while playing for the Denver Broncos.
He settled permanently in Baltimore, first in Columbia and now in Reisterstown, after his two daughters and son graduated from McDonogh School. He liked the education they received and decided to put down roots here after he left the NFL.
After visiting 20th Century Fox in 2005, he became enthralled with visual media and computer animation.
He was soon focusing his creativity into the Kulipari series, now a Netflix show. And Kulipari is now produced in East Baltimore, at Chester and Biddle streets.
“We are becoming the first company of our kind in this part of the world,” Pryce said. “The closest similar operation is PBS Kids in northern Virginia with its ‘Curious George.’”
His Kulipari, an Australian Outback aboriginal word for poison, is set in the Amphibilands, a secluded community of tree frogs. Kulipari began as a Simon & Schuster book and made the jump to an animated series.
His digital action animation was once located on Mosher Street in a Maryland Institute College of Art building in Bolton Hill. He outgrew that space and found his current new space in East Baltimore in a neighborhood that suits Pryce.
“Th vacants are starting to becoming high-end town houses,” he said. “My goal is to turn it into a Burbank. There is room for it here.”
Burbank, California, is the home to the major players in animation.
He now has 62 people on his payroll and envisions his operation spreading to other 19th century, formerly moribund structures scattered north of the Johns Hopkins medical campus.
Pryce is joining with Cross Street Partners to redevelop another industrial building at 1010 N. Chester St.and hopes to receive funding through State of Maryland Historic Tax Credits.
He sees it as becoming a “major virtual production studio for the East Coast.”
Cross Street Partners call the effort a “transformative redevelopment project will continue the ongoing revitalization of East Baltimore by repurposing an underutilized warehouse building on a blighted urban block into a nexus of opportunity.”
Afternoon Update
Pryce sees an enlarged studio as drawing major film projects to the Baltimore market.
“This is eventually,” he said. “In time, people in the industry will come to Baltimore.”
He recently showed his current studio to a summer youth group from the neighborhood adjacent to his studio.
“Until you see it on your own, with your own eyes, you don’t really know what we do,” he said. “If you were a kid of a similar age in Burbank, California, you would know all about it. The industry is there and you’d have a cousin or friend working in it.”
He wants to share his world of creativity and video action to East Baltimore.
“I can have an impact in this city,” he said.
The day those children saw his artists at their screens — and recognized they were making another part of the Kulipari series, one of them told him, “This is the coolest place in Baltimore.” | https://www.capitalgazette.com/maryland/bs-md-kelly-biddle-20220709-lbg7gu2dbzbazpo7fdesvzsiqi-story.html | 2022-07-09T10:45:14Z | https://www.capitalgazette.com/maryland/bs-md-kelly-biddle-20220709-lbg7gu2dbzbazpo7fdesvzsiqi-story.html | true |
WASHINGTON (AP) — Bradley Beal and the Wizards renewed their commitment to each other when he agreed to a five-year deal worth up to $251 million to stay in Washington.
Whether that commitment will make the next five years any more successful than the last 10 is the big question.
“I want to win a championship and I want to do it here,” Beal said Friday in a news conference to discuss his max-value contract. “I believe that we can win in D.C.”
There hasn’t been much evidence that the Wizards can back up that belief. Since drafting Beal in 2012 to play alongside point guard John Wall, the Wizards have made five playoff appearances, never advancing beyond the second round — and the last time they got even that far was five years ago, the last full season Wall played in Washington.
Since then, the Wizards have had a revolving door at point guard alongside Beal, who averaged over 30 points in 2019-20 and 2020-21, and haven’t persuaded a big-name free agent to join him in a star-driven league.
“We have the opportunity to show the NBA what happens, the commitment that we’ll make to our players, to their career,” general manager Tommy Sheppard said. “You’re talking about one of the most coveted free agents on the market re-signing with the Washington Wizards, committing to what he believes, that we can win here.”
This season, the Wizards will surround Beal with big man Kristaps Porzingis, acquired in a midseason trade with Dallas; Kyle Kuzma, who became the team’s primary scorer with Beal sidelined by injury in the second half of last season; a new point guard in Monte Morris, acquired in a trade with Denver; and a collection of young role players including Rui Hachimura, Deni Avdija, Corey Kispert and Daniel Gafford.
“We’re doing everything we can to make that mix right. We’re a free agent away,” owner Ted Leonsis said. “We’re always looking at how we can improve, and Tommy has been given the green light and I’ve said no to nothing. I want to win.”
Beal has become rooted in the Washington area through philanthropic efforts and has shown a growing awareness of social issues. He began his news conference by lamenting the imprisonment of WNBA star Brittney Griner in Russia; the mass shooting at a July 4 parade in Highland Park, Illinois; and a spate of gun violence in his hometown of St. Louis.
His two young sons attended the news conference and Beal noted that because of his financial security, “they think they won’t have to work for anything. I have to try to find that balance and figure it out. You don’t see that all the time, especially in the Black community.”
Beal said he’s comfortable with his decision and that winning a championship in Washington would be more satisfying than chasing a title with a “super team.”
“You proved all the doubters wrong. You did everything you possibly could to make it work and you did it. That would mean everything to me,” Beal said. “That would mean more than leaving and playing with four All-Stars. And, having conversations with guys who have done that, it’s not always great. It’s not always fun. It’s not always what you think it is.”

The following column is the opinion and analysis of the writer:
Professor Geraldo Hydro, Tucson’s preeminent water expert, will be taking over this column space from time to time to answer questions from readers about water. I hope you enjoy his thoughtful responses.
Prof. Hydro, Lake Powell is starting to look like Meteor Crater. Should I be concerned?
Dusty
No. If you have the kidneys of a kangaroo rat and no pores you’ll be fine.
Hey, Geraldo, When it’s 113 degrees out, isn’t it a fact the last thing anyone wants to hear is that our water supply is drying up?
Dee Lusional
No. The last thing you want to hear is “Not to worry! Your Arizona Legislature is on it.”
Dr. Hydro, What’s the most dramatic drought-emergency response water officials in Phoenix have planned?
People are also reading…

Dr. Hydro, Will the price of water go up as water becomes more scarce?
M. Friedman
Do javelina stink?
Prof. Hydro, How much water goes to farmers — and will they have to use a lot less water in the future?
Mr. Green Jeans
Eighty percent of Arizona’s allotted water goes to farmers. Farmers will be forced to use less water. Some innovators will find alternative sources of moisture like powdered milk. Others will coat their lettuce and rutabagas with roll-on anti-perspirants. The smart ones will turn to drip irrigation.
Dr. Hydro, What! Our water doesn’t come from the faucet? It comes from snow in the Rockies?
Confused
You’re on to something, Frosty.
Doc Hydro, I hear we’ve been banking water here in Tucson. Banking water? Is that true?
Parched
Yes! And here’s a tip: When you go to your ATM and you’re asked what denominations you prefer, instead of asking for fives, tens and twenties ask for your withdrawal in gallons, quarts and pints. And yes, there is a very, very, very severe penalty for early withdrawal.
Dear Hydro, I figured any bank with “wells” in its name must bank water so I went to Wells Fargo to open an account. They told me I was all wet.
All Wet
Go to Tucson Water. If you bank water with them you get a Hydro flask, an effluent stream and a Recharge Card.
Hydro Dude, How many lakes are approaching “Dead pool” status?
Aquaman
Three: Lake Mead, Lake Powell and most dramatically, Kari Lake, who reportedly has less depth than a puddle. She’s so shallow she can’t even float an idea let alone generate electricity.
Dr. Hydro, When I read “40 million people in the parched Colorado River basin could be affected” I was surprised to learn we all live in a basin. Is it like a giant bath tub? Is that why there are rings around Lake Mead and late at night I hear a strange gurgling sound?
Thinker
Late at night I hear a voice telling me to fire my letters editor.
Dr. Hydro, What if we gave each other “wet willies” and harvested that water?
Guess Who
Who? Which legislator are you?
Dr. Hydro, When the governor was informed “Denial is a river in Egypt” he wondered if we could build a pipeline to Egypt. Are we doomed?
Nero
I’d top off my hydro flask.
Dr. Hydro, Is this the worst drought in 1,200 years?
Packing
Yes, but on the bright side you got to admit watching the Colorado turn into a trickle sure takes your mind off coastal flooding, wildfires the size of China, mass extinctions, mass shootings and monster hurricanes.
Dr. Hydro, Folks who didn’t see this drought coming had to be wet behind the ears. Is there a way to harvest the moisture behind their ears?
Albert Einstein
Are you a member of Gov. Ducey’s brain trust?
Hydro Dude, With less and less water out West ranchers and farmers will have to give up water-guzzling crops. What crops are well-suited for our desert?
Alfalfa
Low-water crops like wax fruit and dried flowers. And grapes that produce exceptionally dry wines.
Howdy Doc, Arizona is going to spend a billion dollars on exploring the idea of building a pipeline to the Mississippi River and other innovative proposals. Good idea?

I hope Tucson Water cuts you off.
Dr. Hydro, Why are Tucsonans more conservation-minded than most Arizonans? Why are we smart about water usage?

I think it’s because we all agree with the late, great philosopher environmentalist and occasionally “moody” author, Ed Abbey, who once said, ”What the %@!& is wrong with you %@!& people?! Don’t you %@!& realize you live in a %@!& desert!”

Teens are dressing in suits to see 'Minions' as meme culture and boredom collide
Since the dawn of time, the trends and styles of the youth have never failed to perplex their predecessors — and the latest viral trend of the "gentle minions" is no exception.
Following the July 1 release of Minions: The Rise of Gru, hordes of (mostly) teenage boys have documented themselves online as they orchestrate viewing events at movie theaters in their finest 8th grade graduation garb.
The groups show themselves pulling up to their local movie theaters in full suits, dress shirts, and sometimes sunglasses, and carrying themselves with an aura that feels part businessman, part Secret Service, with a dash of self-awareness.
They have dubbed themselves the #gentleminions, gaining a collective 65.4 million views from the hashtag on TikTok alone.
Aside from social media prevalence, the trend may have something to do with Rise of Gru enjoying huge box office success since its release last weekend. The film reportedly grossed an estimated $164 million domestically in its first week.
In one video that received nearly 170,000 likes and more than 1 million views, a large group of more than 20 smartly dressed teenage boys in Singapore ascend in a line on an escalator and then walk out of frame, stone faced and with rigid posture. Some pictured towards the end of the procession clutch small Minion plushies while looking straight ahead. The video is overlaid with text that expresses their simple request: "22 tickets for Minions: Rise of GRU please."
@_.itzvan_ issa vibe #tiktoksg #minions #suit #kingbob #fyp ♬ Rich Minion - Yeat
The boys in this particular video say that the now viral clip is more a product of coincidence than planning or intention.
"After we finished the movie, we went out and we were going down the escalator," said Joshua Law, an 18-year-old student. "And then we saw this bunch going up the escalator, and we sort of met halfway."
In fact, many of the boys in this particular video had never met before, but decided a video with this many participants was too good to pass up.
Part of this unity, they admit, is the embarrassment they experienced beforehand in participating in the gag.
"Doing these types of things, you actually get a lot of stares," said Devan Rajen, another 18-year-old student pictured in the video who posted the video from his own TikTok account. "People probably thought we were humiliating ourselves."
Rajen's video showed a tamer iteration of the trend. But other videos have shown the supposed gentleminions being anything but gentle, starting mosh pits in theaters, disrupting the film for others, and generally just being rowdy teens.
@wixmovs genuinely the scariest experience of my life (minion suit boy call me tho) #xyzbca #minionsmovie #stevenage #cineworld #minionsriseofgru ♬ anaconda nightcore - mils 🦭
Some theaters have taken steps to either ban the wearing of suits from screenings, or issuing strict warnings to any group of teenagers that might disturb other patrons. This choice, however, has also bred innovation, with the most dedicated of the group showing up in disguise and later revealing their suits in the theaters themselves.
@joel.evans13 Tried to ban the suits, nah #minions #yeat #suits ♬ Rich Minion - Yeat
"Everything [about this] is highly memetic," said Jennifer Grygiel, an associate professor of communications at Syracuse University, who is an expert in social media and memes. In other words, it's a perfect storm for an opportunity at virality.
Grygiel sees the trend as an endless, accessible feedback loop for the teens watching and those that might want to join in.
"They got exposed to it because they're all seeing TikTok and so they [become] aware of it," Grygiel said. "I think it leads to that type of participation. You know, sometimes social media ends up functioning like a big water cooler."
"Their algorithms kind of sync up with their peer groups, getting it promoted through a moment like you would see on Twitter or like a trend."
Grygiel added that the spreading of a message or a trend wasn't a new concept. But the way it is now communicated may be.
"TikTok seems to be kind of how they figure out what the happenings are, right? So maybe that would have been a teen magazine or, you know, some type of teen show on TV."
Grygiel said once the trend was popularized, the participatory nature of social media encouraged others to join in. In this case, wearing fancy clothes and showing up to a theater with your friends isn't particularly hard for the average teen.
And in a world where influencing has become a preferred dream career choice for young people, the opportunity to have your moment of fame can explain why so many are compelled to join in, even if they don't want to see the movie, or care for those banana-loving pill-shaped workers.
"I didn't like the movie," admitted Law, who was in the viral #gentleminions video. "I thought it was mediocre at best. But I liked the atmosphere."
And when pressed on why they chose to join in on this trend, to go through the trouble of spending their own money to go see a movie targeted for kids, Law gave perhaps the most honest, accurate answer as to why teenagers have always done the things that teenagers do:
"I think we're just bored. There's not really anything else better to do." | https://www.npr.org/2022/07/09/1110582257/gentle-minions-rise-of-gru-tiktok-trend-viral-suits-banned-teens-box-office | 2022-07-09T11:00:41Z | https://www.npr.org/2022/07/09/1110582257/gentle-minions-rise-of-gru-tiktok-trend-viral-suits-banned-teens-box-office | true |

STEPHEN HEMELT — Staying safe is a fulltime job for all
Published 12:26 am Saturday, July 9, 2022
It can happen in the blink of an eye for members of our community.
Tomorrow is not promised.
Just cruise the headlines and current events at orangeleader.com or in The Orange Leader.
The Orange Police Department reported the death of a 22-year-old killed Thursday night in a case of gun violence.
A day before, Port Arthur Police announced the arrest of an area woman following the stabbing of a victim with wounds reported to her head and upper torso.
The day before that, two Port Neches Police Department officers were involved in the fatal shooting of a 21-year-old early. That took place at approximately 7 a.m. Tuesday.
Three random acts of violence that no one involved would have predicted 24 hours before.
Yet, in the span of 63 hours, numerous families are impacted and countless community ripples flow in tragedies that show no signs of ending.
That’s the type of potential violence prevalent in our neighborhoods and throughout our daily commutes.
That’s obvious in Orange County and Jefferson County, where road awareness must also remain a top priority.
So with that being said, staying safe on those commutes should never be taken for granted.
Motorists driving along Edgar Brown Drive better take caution.
Just across the street from Orange County Airport is industry construction that routinely reduces the regular traffic often exceeding the 65 mph speed limit to a near standstill as large work vehicles exit the highway and enter the jobsite.
I’ve witnessed several near misses at that site in the last two weeks.
It was last month that the Texas Department of Transportation announced the northern two quadrants of the existing of U.S. 69/Texas 73 cloverleaf interchange would close permanently in Port Arthur.
Dates for the closure of the southern two quadrants of the existing cloverleaf are not set at this time and are going to be announced at a future date.
It is with that knowledge, especially here in our community, that the Texas Department of Transportation is pushing its “Be Safe, Drive Smart” campaign.
Drivers are especially at risk in Texas’s energy sectors, state officials say. Oil and gas activity brings increased traffic and large trucks to production areas and surrounding communities.
In 2021, more than 79,000 traffic crashes occurred in the state’s five major energy production areas, resulting in 1,119 deaths. That is a 20 percent increase over the previous year.
Failure-to-control speed and driver inattention were the top reasons for crashes.
Weighing 20 times more than an average car, “big rigs” require more time to accelerate and decelerate. For instance, an 80,000-pound, loaded 18-wheeler going 65 mph can take as much as the length of a football field to come to a complete stop, which is why motorists should avoid driving too closely or swerving in front of a large truck.
Large trucks also have larger blind spots. We must avoid these blind spots, which are located around the front, back and sides of trucks.
The best rule is if you can’t see the truck driver in the truck’s side mirror, then the truck driver can’t see you or your vehicle.
Drivers at risk in Texas’s energy sectors are asked to:
- Follow the posted speed limit and adjust driving to match road conditions.
- Focus 100 percent on driving. Put your phone away: no talking or texting when behind the wheel.
- Give large trucks plenty of space. Pass only when it’s safe and legal to do so.
These driving tips or this conversation piece might seem like common sense for most readers. And I agree 100 percent with that.
However, just a couple of extra moments of caution or a few more careful drivers could finally end our state’s most dubious steak of unwanted death.
Nov. 7, 2000, remains the last deathless day on Texas roadways.
We’re decades into this streak. It’s time for it to end.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal appeals court on Friday narrowed the range of documents House Democrats are entitled to in their years-long investigation of Donald Trump’s finances.
The decision from the federal appeals court in Washington almost certainly won’t be the last word in the legal fight that began in 2019, when Trump was president and Democrats newly in charge of the House of Representatives subpoenaed a wealth of records from Trump’s accounting firm, Mazars USA.
A federal judge in Washington already had ruled that lawmakers were entitled to review a more limited set of records than they initially wanted.
The appellate panel narrowed the request even more. It held that the House Committee on Oversight and Reform should be given records of financial ties between foreign countries and Trump or any of his businesses for 2017-18. It also ordered Mazars to turn over documents between November 2016 and 2018 relating to the Trump company that held the lease granted by the federal government for the former Trump International Hotel located between the White House and the Capitol.
“We determine here that the Committee has shown the requisite need for some, but far from all, of the presidential information covered by its subpoena,” Judge Sri Srinivasan wrote in an opinion joined by Judge Judith Rogers. The third judge who heard arguments in the case is Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, who dropped out of the case when President Joe Biden nominated her to the Supreme Court.
The committee first issued a subpoena in 2019, then renewed it in 2021.
Lower courts had first ruled broadly in favor of the committee, but the Supreme Court in 2020 ordered a new analysis.
In issuing its ruling Friday, the court raised the point of Trump’s right to continue fighting the subpoena, noting that the question remained of whether Trump maintains executive privilege as a former president.
In addition, the Biden administration “has not opposed former President Trump’s efforts to challenge the Committee’s subpoena,” Srinivasan wrote, adding that the administration’s last word in this case “was to argue that the subpoena must be invalidated” under the Supreme Court’s analysis.
The committee’s hunt for records overlaps with other records that have already been released to investigators. In 2020, for instance, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of New York District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. in his demand for Trump’s tax records, though the ruling kept the documents out of the public eye. Vance’s office took possession of those records in February.
In that case, criminal charges have been brought against the Trump Organization and Chief Financial Officer Allen Weisselberg. They are due back in court on Aug. 12, postponed from a scheduled July 12 appearance. | https://www.krqe.com/news/politics/appeals-court-congress-can-see-some-trump-financial-records/ | 2022-07-09T11:03:22Z | https://www.krqe.com/news/politics/appeals-court-congress-can-see-some-trump-financial-records/ | false |
Blinken says 'no signs' at G20 of Russia engaging on Ukraine
Issued on:
Bali (Indonesia) (AFP) – US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Saturday that Washington saw "no signs" of Russia engaging with G20 diplomats over its invasion of Ukraine after Moscow faced a barrage of criticism at talks in Indonesia.
Russia's top diplomat Sergei Lavrov stormed out of a meeting with G20 foreign ministers on the resort island of Bali on Friday after Washington and its allies condemned Moscow's assault on its neighbour during the closed-door talks.
"We saw no signs whatsoever that Russia is prepared to engage in meaningful diplomacy," Blinken said after meeting with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi on Saturday.
"If there is an opportunity for diplomacy, we will seize it."
Lavrov walked out of a morning session on Friday as his German counterpart Annalena Baerbock criticised the invasion. He then left an afternoon session before Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba addressed the ministers virtually.
"There was a strong consensus and Russia was left isolated, as it has been many times since this war begin," Blinken said.
"In fact, Foreign Minister Lavrov left the meeting early, maybe because this message had been so resoundingly clear."
Speaking after an unusually long five hours of talks with Wang, Blinken said he had pressed Beijing on its tacit support of the invasion and called on China to distance itself from the Kremlin.
He also announced the United States would provide another $360 million in support to Ukraine, including for food, clean drinking water, emergency health care and shelter.
The G20 meeting in Indonesia came against the backdrop of raging battles in eastern Ukraine, and with tensions between Moscow and Western nations at their highest in decades.
Blinken snubbed a direct meeting with Lavrov and instead accused Russia of triggering a global food crisis, demanding Moscow allow grain shipments out of war-battered Ukraine.
"To our Russian colleagues: Ukraine is not your country. Its grain is not your grain. Why are you blocking the ports? You should let the grain out," Blinken said in the closed-door session on Friday, according to a Western official present.
Lavrov had previously told reporters he would not "go running" after Washington for talks.
"It was not us who abandoned contact, it was the United States," he said.
French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna told AFP on Friday that the Russian diplomat left after finding little support on the Ukraine war.
EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said Lavrov was not listening to his colleagues.
"That's not the most constructive way to attend a G20 meeting," he told AFP.

TIJUANA (Border Report) — Six migrant shelters have been built in Tijuana in the last 10 years, but city officials are realizing that it’s not enough to handle the ever-growing number of new arrivals.
In all, there are 26 shelters in this city of 2.1 million, including a new facility to house Muslim asylum-seekers.
“The network is strong due to several churches and community centers that have turned into shelters, but more are needed,” said Enrique Lucero, the head of the city’s Migrant Affairs Office.
With the arrival of several migrant caravans in 2018, Lucero says it became apparent more facilities would be needed in the years ahead to house people who will flee their homes due to violence and other factors.
Before this happened, Lucero said, there were only 10 to 15 facilities that could accommodate migrants or people deported from the United States.
“We need more shelters and we need the federal government to provide them,” he said.
As of today, there are only two shelters that have been financed by Mexico City.
Lucero tells Border Report new shelters must be set up to house and feed migrants for the long haul.
“People in transit are not staying just a few weeks, it’s months and even more than a year,” he said.
Extended migrant stays in Tijuana are due to the longer time period to secure asylum in the United States, which can take more than two years.
Lucero says there’s also a need to house unaccompanied migrant children, but right now there is only one facility set up to care for minors and it’s run by the city of Tijuana’s child protective services.
According to Mexico’s National Institute for Migration, deportations and expulsions from the U.S. into Mexico through Baja California have tripled in the last year.
It says so far this year, 52,058 people have been returned through ports of entry from California, with total “repatriations” into Tijuana listed at 39,553. | https://www.wane.com/border-report-tour/shelter-space-badly-needed-for-migrants-in-tijuana-officials-say/ | 2022-07-09T11:07:08Z | https://www.wane.com/border-report-tour/shelter-space-badly-needed-for-migrants-in-tijuana-officials-say/ | true |
Which pole hedge trimmer is best?
When it’s time to trim the tallest hedges, you need a pole hedge trimmer. It isn’t safe to use a standard trimmer on a ladder — the risk of injury is too high. Pole hedge trimmers aren’t any more expensive than standard trimmers either, so you can grab a low-cost pole trimmer that’s still highly effective.
The best pole hedge trimmer is the Makita 20-Inch Articulating Pole Hedge Trimmer Kit. It has a long reach and the head is articulated so you can trim at any angle.
What to know before you buy a pole hedge trimmer
Power source
Pole hedge trimmers are powered via cords, batteries or gas.
- Corded trimmers are the simplest as you just need to plug in and go. They’re also the lightest as there’s no complex engine or heavy battery and they have no unhealthy emissions. Their downsides are having the lowest power, a limited range and having to worry about accidentally slicing through your cord.
- Battery-powered trimmers are an excellent middle ground. They have solid power, can be used anywhere and have no emissions. However, most trimmers rapidly drain the battery plus they have long battery recharge times.
- Gas trimmers are the strongest, making them best for large yards and commercial usage. However, they are heavy, loud and complicated to maintain. They also emit unhealthy exhaust.
Pole and blade length
The length of the pole and blade determines how big of a hedge you can trim and how easily and quickly you can trim it.
- Pole length is typically between 6-12 feet, though some can be longer. Some poles are telescoping so you can adjust to your hedges.
- Blade length is typically between 16-22 inches. Shorter blades are easier to control but longer blades can finish the job faster.
What’s included
Most pole hedge trimmers come with just the tool except for battery-operated trimmers; these usually come in both tool-only and battery-and-charger kit options. Some trimmers also come with accessories such as leaf barrels, extra batteries and safety gear.
What to look for in a quality pole hedge trimmer
Trigger lock
The best pole hedge trimmers have a trigger lock, meaning you don’t need to hold the trigger down to keep it going. It makes controlling the trimmer much easier, especially when you start using extra-long trimmers on extra-tall hedges.
Articulating head
Many pole hedge trimmers have articulating, also called pivoting, heads. This lets you choose the angle at which you trim, including 90-degree angles for flattening the top of hedges.
How much you can expect to spend on a pole hedge trimmer
They can cost as little as $50 to as much as $500. Low-power electric trimmers typically cost $150 or less with the average trimmer costing around $200. Only the highest-power, feature-rich trimmers cost more than $250-$300.
Pole hedge trimmer FAQ
How do I use a pole hedge trimmer safely?
A. There are several steps to take to ensure you’re trimming safely.
- First, make sure the trimmer is ready. Check its fuel source, double-check that the blade is sharp, etc.
- Secondly, make sure you are ready. Wear clothing that covers your skin, gloves, safety glasses and ear protection. Wearing a mask doesn’t hurt but isn’t strictly necessary.
- Finally, make sure the hedge is ready. Make sure there’s nothing in the way of your trimmer that shouldn’t be cut including missing toys, animals and any nests.
Once these steps are complete and you make sure no one is near you you can get to trimming.
How much maintenance does a pole hedge trimmer need?
A. That depends on the fuel source. Electric trimmers need the least maintenance, usually just making sure the blade is sharp and lubricated and the body is clean. Gas trimmers are more complex as you need to regularly maintain the engine on top of the blades and body.

Which cowboy toys are best?
Since the time of Jesse James, Annie Oakley and Billy the Kid, the history and rugged landscape of the American west has captured imaginations all over the world. Over the years, this passion for the Wild West has been translated into films, literature and of course, toys.
Cowboy toys for kids can range from artificial six shooters and plastic horses to detailed cowboy action figures inspired by famous outlaws. The Cowboys and Indians Wild West Figure Playset is the top pick because it comes with over 100 pieces with a classic design.
What to know before you buy a cowboy toy
Types of cowboy toys
While the term cowboy technically refers to someone who tends cattle for a living, the word has become synonymous with the culture of the western United States as it was in the 19th century. Because of this association, spurred primarily by books and films, there are many different types of cowboy toys on the market. If you’re shopping for a kid, think about which of the following toy types they’d enjoy the most.
- Action figures: Cowboy action figures can range from simple, miniature figures in a fixed pose to detailed models with accessories and multiple points of articulation. Larger cowboy figures are usually sold alone, while miniature cowboy figurines can be purchased in sets of 50 pieces or more.
- Horse toys: If the child has a passion for ranch life, look for a horse toy. Young children are particularly fond of rideable toys like the classic hobby horse. While these toys were formerly simple stuffed horse heads attached to sticks, modern hobby horses can feature realistic designs, telescoping sticks and even sound effects.
- Costumes: A great way to foster creativity and imagination, many children love dressing up as cowboys and cowgirls. Most costumes come with a cowboy hat, but you can also find kits that include vests, lassos, sheriff stars and bandanas.
- Revolvers and rifles: No cowboy or cowgirl costume is complete without a trusty six-shooter. Toy revolvers and rifles are usually constructed from plastic or metal and often come with sound effects and accompanying holsters.
- Rodeo toys: If your kid is interested in cowboys in the strictest sense of the word, consider a rodeo toy. These authentic training products let the user practice throwing a lasso and roping a cow. You can even find full-sized roping dummies to perfect your rodeo skills outside.
Suggested age range
Consider the age of the child when buying a cowboy toy as a gift. A metal revolver toy may not be appropriate for a young kid, and a plush hobby horse or rocker may not be enjoyed by children over 3 years old. If the child is under 3, avoid any cowboy toys with small pieces that could pose a choking hazard.
What to look for in a quality cowboy toy
Authenticity
While it may not matter to some kids, any child with an interest in history will appreciate an authentic-looking cowboy toy or replica. Some of these products may even include detailed historical information alongside the toy.
Materials
Most cowboy toys are made from plastic, but you can also find toys that are constructed from die-cast metal or even wood. These toys are usually intricately detailed with an emphasis on historical realism.
How much you can expect to spend on a cowboy toy
The cost of a cowboy toy can vary dramatically depending on its type and size. Most action figures and artificial guns are around $10-$30, while rodeo toys and detailed replicas can cost $60 or more.
Cowboy toy FAQ
Why are cowboys so popular with kids?
A. While it’s hard to know exactly why kids love cowboy toys, it might be because they harken back to a simpler time of romance and rugged landscapes, valiant heroes and ruthless villains. As long as Hollywood continues to release Westerns, it’s likely that cowboys will continue to be popular with people of all ages.
Are there cowboy toys for adults?
A. Yes! There are many realistic models and replicas for adult Wild West enthusiasts to display and collect. These items are usually constructed from high-quality metal or wood and are designed to be historically accurate.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) – The 53rd annual Three Rivers Festival is back, and a fan-favorite event returns.
For two years, the festival hasn’t been at full force, but now Three Rivers is back. Although it was still included last year, one of its most renowned attractions is back as again…
Junk Food Alley
The buzzing street behind Headwaters Park was filled with flashing lights and smiling faces. And not to mention the food and scents.
A sweet aroma filled the air in a cartoonish fashion, flowing from funnel cakes and elephant ears. One bystander remarked, “The smell is the best part for sure, everything smells so good.”
Old favorites such as funnel cakes and elephant ears were found, alongside deep-fried Oreos, pickled, and fries. But a newcomer was also drawing a lot of attraction as many festival-goers were carrying around bright yellow noodle boxes labeled, “Island Noodles.”
The noodle stand boasts stations for large woks, that have fire spitting out from underneath them when in use.
Brandon Patterson who works the stand let us know why it’s one of the healthier options you can find at Three Rivers Festival, “It’s 100% Vegan and comes with 20 Fresh veggies chopped up with our signature soy sauce. It’s got ginger and garlic in it. And then you can add the teriyaki chicken if you’d like”
He also said that the stand has been waiting 8 years to make it into Junk Food Alley and they finally did it this year.
You can check them out and all the other vendors in Junk Food Alley during the duration of the festival. | https://www.wane.com/news/local-news/junk-food-alley-classics-return-and-new-options/ | 2022-07-09T11:15:54Z | https://www.wane.com/news/local-news/junk-food-alley-classics-return-and-new-options/ | false |
A parking lot fee is now being enforced at the Bismarck Depot on weekends to remediate issues of long-term parking and garbage dumping in the Depot's parking lot.
Developer Cam Knutson, owner of Knutson Companies, which is renovating the Depot, said that starting in early June, he hired someone to charge a $5 fee to people parking in the Depot's lot in downtown Bismarck.
"We have had issues with people leaving garbage -- there was a sofa dropped off in the parking lot. That has been a little bit problematic with it not being patrolled," Knutson said. "And then there were a couple of vehicles, having been there a very long time (and) having not been moved."
Knutson said he and his other partner on the Depot renovation project decided to start charging people to park at the Depot to help with those issues. They will continue to charge parking this summer and fall as a "trial run."
"So long as we’re not doing work on the area, we want to have it as an option for people, but don’t want to have it get abused as well," he said, adding that they are working on a long-term strategy as to how the parking lot will be managed in the future. | https://bismarcktribune.com/news/local/bismarck/depot-parking-lot-fees-enforced-on-weekends/article_714e144c-fd3f-11ec-9b22-37f491392540.html | 2022-07-09T11:18:09Z | https://bismarcktribune.com/news/local/bismarck/depot-parking-lot-fees-enforced-on-weekends/article_714e144c-fd3f-11ec-9b22-37f491392540.html | true |
Reports of Germany’s weaknesses may have been greatly exaggerated. On Friday evening, they tormented Denmark, their conquerors from Euro 2017. Germany won by a four-goal margin and still Lars Sondergaard’s players will be thankful that the gap was not greater. Denmark will likely have to beat tournament favourites Spain to progress. They have Pernille Harder; Germany were better, faster and stronger.
Friday was a stupefyingly, stultifyingly hot afternoon in west London, the type that makes you celebrate internally when you turn a corner and encounter a slight breeze. Danish supporters commandeered The Express Tavern on Kew Bridge Road in search of afternoon shade and sustenance, but were joined by those in white shirts. The lagers and gin and tonics were entirely medicinal, you understand.
But they worked. By kick-off, those supporters generated the best atmosphere of the tournament so far. Coincidentally or otherwise, we also had the best spectacle: Germany’s front three swapping positions to drag defenders out of position, Denmark aiming to threaten on the counter attack. This was major tournament football at its best, two teams aiming to expose their opponent’s weakness rather than protect their own. Perhaps that was down to Spain’s 4-1 victory over Finland earlier in the day; it gave it the feeling of a playoff.
Germany were magnificent. They hit the bar twice, forced Denmark goalkeeper Lene Christensen into at least four sprawling stops and scored once in each half. They had a goal disallowed. Lina Magull rasped a shot into Christensen’s top right-hand corner. Lea Schuller – a Golden Boot candidate – nudged home a header from a Magull corner. Lena Lattwein thrashed home a third with 12 minutes remaining. The fourth, an Alexandra Popp diving header, was a thing of immense beauty.
But it was the application of their victory that impressed more than its aesthetics. Maria Voss-Tecklenberg’s team played as if charged by the concerns of those back home who fear a third successive quarter-final exit at a major tournament, and with it the loss of their dynastical grip upon this confederation. They are a team of fighters and artists and plenty of them are happy to moonlight at both.
“We may no longer be among the top favourites,” said Voss-Tecklenburg on the eve of this tournament. Fair enough, Martina, you got us. With Spain suffering injuries to two key players and Germany’s front three dismantling one of the competition’s dark horses, this tournament is already opening up for its historic powerhouse to play its greatest hits. | https://inews.co.uk/sport/football/denmark-have-harder-but-germany-were-better-faster-and-stronger-they-will-take-some-stopping-1733730 | 2022-07-09T11:24:45Z | https://inews.co.uk/sport/football/denmark-have-harder-but-germany-were-better-faster-and-stronger-they-will-take-some-stopping-1733730 | false |
It can be said the Volkswagen Virtus 1.0 TSI manual’s price, is the starting point for the sedan’s range in India. Prices start at ₹ 11.21 lakh (ex-showroom) for the Comfortline trim and tops off at ₹ 14.41 lakh (ex-showroom) for the Topline version featured here. It runs the same 115hp and 178Nm, three-cylinder, 1.0-litre, direct-injection, TSI turbo-petrol unit as the Virtus 1.0 TSI AT.
It might be the entry point to the Virtus range but that is not the only reason to consider it. The engine-gearbox combo is rather likeable. The engine starts out smoothly and performance-wise you really will not have any problem keeping up with the flow of traffic. Sure, when you do press down hard for a quick overtake from low speeds, there is some hesitation under 1,800rpm, but after that, you really will not be left wanting for power.
What also helps the experience in town is that the gear ratios are well-selected, so you will not be changing gears too often. Gear shifts are smooth, and even the clutch is progressive and easy to modulate.

As standard, the Virtus gets idle stop-start, which shuts the engine off at long halts to save fuel, but you would probably override the system on hot days to keep the air conditioner running. It is when you are idling at long halts that you would have that happy realisation that the vibrations typically associated with a three-cylinder engine are missing. Even when you are driving at normal speeds, you will not really hear much from the engine bay. Drive a bit harder and you will find the note is a bit grainy, and when you drive a lot harder, the engine does get fairly audible.
This engine will entice you to drive with enthusiasm every now and then. It feels lively in the mid-range, and if you really extend it, it will even rev well past 6,000rpm.
Complementing that performance is keen handling. It is entertaining in the corners and feels poised. Keen drivers would have liked a slightly weightier steering, though. In other areas, this Virtus is no different from the ones before. At higher speeds, you will like the European car sure-footedness and at low speeds, note that the suspension absorbs most of the bumps well.
The Virtus has a long list of strengths. Highlights include a stylish dashboard (though there are no soft-touch materials), large and supportive front seats, great legroom at the back and a massive 521-litre boot. Features-wise, the Virtus’ Topline trim does well for itself, with a large 10-inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, an eight-speaker audio system, digital dials and handy ventilated front seats. The safety kit includes six airbags as well as ESC, and what stays with you is that all-encompassing feeling of toughness to the car.
The Volkswagen Virtus is a handsome sedan and has that all-important ‘big car’ air about it. The 1.0 TSI versions are available in Dynamic Line form, which means the exterior comes with crisp chrome detailing and diamond-cut alloy wheels. For reference, Performance Line versions are identifiable by their blacked-out wheels and subtler use of chrome.
Given our ever-worsening traffic conditions, a manual would not be the version we would readily recommend. However, things are different with the Virtus 1.0 TSI MT. It is a car that is convenient enough to drive in town, and yet, one that delivers the fun you would associate with a manual car. That it is ₹ 1.3 lakh more affordable than a comparable Virtus 1.0 AT makes it a whole lot more interesting. | https://www.thehindu.com/life-and-style/motoring/volkswagen-virtus-10-tsi-manual-entices-you-with-its-driving-ability/article65619277.ece/amp/ | 2022-07-09T11:32:06Z | https://www.thehindu.com/life-and-style/motoring/volkswagen-virtus-10-tsi-manual-entices-you-with-its-driving-ability/article65619277.ece/amp/ | false |
A Pennsylvania 911 operator faces a rare charge of involuntary manslaughter for failing to send an ambulance to the rural home of a woman who died of internal bleeding a day later, despite a plea from the woman’s daughter that without medical help “she’s going to die.”
A Greene County detective last week filed charges against Leon “Lee” Price, 50, of Waynesburg, in the July 2020 death of Diania Kronk, 54, based on Price’s reluctance to dispatch help without getting more assurance that Kronk would actually go to the hospital.
“I believe she would be alive today if they would have sent an ambulance,” said Kronk’s daughter Kelly Titchenell, 38.
Price, who also was charged with reckless endangerment, official oppression and obstruction, questioned Titchenell repeatedly during the four-minute call about whether Kronk would agree to be taken for treatment.
Price was arraigned June 29 and released on bail. He did not reply to messages left at a home number listed in his name, and officials said a defense lawyer has not contacted district court.
“It has to be very clear throughout the entire state, that when you call it’s not going to be conditioned on somebody on the other end of the phone saying there’s going to be a service provided or not,” said Lawrence E. Bolind Jr., who represents Titchenell in a federal lawsuit filed last month. “What we’re trying to do here is make this never happen to somebody else.”
In the 911 recording, an operator identified by police as Price replied to Titchenell’s description of her mother as needing hospital treatment by asking if she was “willing to go” to the hospital about a half-hour away from where she was living in Sycamore.
“She will be, ’cause I’m on my way there, so she’s going, or she’s going to die,” Titchenell told Price as she drove from her home in Mather.
Price said he would send an ambulance but then added that “we really need to make sure she’s willing to go.”
“She’s going to go, she’s going to go,” Titchenell said. “Cause if not, she’s going to die, there’s nothing else.” She said that Kronk was not thinking clearly and that she was her mother’s closest relation. When Price again asked if Kronk would in fact go, Titchenell replied: “OK, well, can we just try?”
After Titchenell told Price she was about 10 minutes from her mother’s home, Price asked if Titchenell would call 911 back once she made sure Kronk was willing to go in an ambulance.
“I’m sorry,” Titchenell said, and Price replied: “No, don’t be sorry, ma’am. Just call me when you get out there, OK?”
When Titchenell and her three children arrived at the house, she said, Kronk was nude on the front porch and talking incoherently. She got her mother to put on a robe.
“She just kept saying she was OK, she’s fine,” Titchenell said. “She’s the mom, you know — she doesn’t listen to her children.”
Titchenell said she could not call from the home because her mother’s landline could not be located and there was not cell service. She also did not call on her way home, believing that her uncle would soon check on her and that another contact with 911 would be pointless.
“This is unheard of, to me. I mean, they’ll send an ambulance for anything,” Titchenell said. “And here I am telling this guy that my mom’s going to die. It’s, like, her death, and she doesn’t get an ambulance.”
Her brother found the next day that their mother had died.
The prosecutor, Greene County District Attorney Dave Russo, said he is also investigating whether there was any policy or training under which the county’s 911 dispatchers were allowed to refuse services to callers.
“We all deserve equal protections, and we all deserve access to medical services,” Russo said in an interview. “I have a major concern as to the safety of the community in regards to this.”
John Kelly, a Naperville, Illinois, lawyer who is general counsel to the National Emergency Number Association, said criminal charges against dispatchers for failing to send help are very rare but have happened.
In a case Kelly teaches in dispatcher training, a 911 operator in Detroit received a year of probation in 2008 and lost her job after, authorities said, she did not take seriously a boy’s calls to report his mother had collapsed. The 5-year-old boy testified that the dispatcher accused him of playing games and hung up on him, while the dispatcher testified that she could not hear the child.
Titchenell, on behalf of her mother’s estate, sued Price and Greene County in Pittsburgh federal court last month, along with two 911 supervisors. The lawsuit accuses Price of “callous refusal of public emergency medical services.”
Marie Milie Jones, a lawyer for the county and 911 supervisors in the federal case, said her clients plan to vigorously defend the lawsuit and do not believe they are liable for Kronk’s death. She said there are “personnel matters that are ongoing” regarding Price but declined to elaborate.
“It’s unfortunate that this woman had died. Certainly, from a personal standpoint, that’s very difficult,” Jones said. “I’m not going to comment on the details of her circumstances.”
Titchenell told Price that her mother had been drinking heavily for some weeks before she died, and that Titchenell had noticed she was losing weight and was “turning yellow.” She said the autopsy concluded Kronk, who worked in home health care, died of internal bleeding.
She said she thinks about her late mother every day — how the former longtime sub shop manager loved to cook, to help people and to spoil her five grandchildren, how she would pile a mountain of presents under the tree every Christmas.
“She had the biggest heart,” Titchenell said. “If someone didn’t have a place to live, she was going to take them in, give them a bed. That was Mom.” | https://www.cenlanow.com/health/dispatcher-who-didnt-send-ambulance-charged-in-2020-death/ | 2022-07-09T11:38:20Z | https://www.cenlanow.com/health/dispatcher-who-didnt-send-ambulance-charged-in-2020-death/ | false |

- Farmer appeared a stir after she appeared on Countryfile and sent fans wild
- Described as an 'internet sensation', she has 67.5k Instagram followers

A farmer who sent Countryfile viewers wild with her appearance on the show has revealed she has been inundated with explicit messages.
Becky Houzé, a dairy farmer from Jersey, appeared on the agricultural programme during a segment about the area.
Countryfile presenter Charlotte Smith described Becky as an 'internet sensation', revealing that the farmer has a following on Instagram as well as an OnlyFans account.
The posts she has shared on OnlyFans include images of agricultural life on the farm, including pictures of herself using equipment and sitting on hay bales.
She has also shared clips from Model Farmers, an OnlyFans show which sees its creators try their hand at working on Becky's farm for a week.
Speaking to The Sun about her sudden fame, Becky revealed: 'I turned on my phone to see I had thousands of new followers on Instagram...I've been asked if I'm going to post more explicit pictures.'

She added: 'But I'm going to stay true to myself. I get questions about what I've been up to on the farm, and after Countryfile I was even asked what fly spray I use.'
The farmer also revealed she is used to personal questions from her followers, explaining that many ask her 'if she is single' or 'has a husband.'
But she insisted that work down the farm isn't as sexy as some might be dreaming it is.
She explained: 'When it's pouring with rain and the machinery has broken down, there's poo in your hair and oil on your face or you've got your hand up a cow's bum, it isn't glamorous.'

Introducing the 29-year-old on the show last week, presenter Charlotte said: 'When someone says Jersey to me, the first thing I think of is cattle.
'Famous for their long eyelashes and creamy milk, they go back centuries here on the island, but not every dairy farmer is taking a traditional approach.'
She then described Becky as a 'bit of an internet sensation'.
Speaking on the programme, Becky said that while her 'real name' is Becky, most people know her as 'Jersey Cow Girl'.
She added: 'I'm one of the youngest dairy farmers here in Jersey.'
She added: 'When I was younger, I did every single type of dancing known to man and I would have loved to have been a ballerina.
During the programme, Becky (pictured) said that most people know her by her online persona 'Jersey Cow Girl'
'But then I realised that I've got a beautiful farm here - why not give it a shot at becoming a dairy farmer?
'And I've been slowly taking over the family business.'
After she appeared on the programme, some viewers took to Twitter to compliment Becky on her appearance.
One tweeter wrote: 'Blimey don't see many farmers like that #countryfile.'
Another added: 'Of course Becky is an internet sensation, she's stunning! #countryfile.'
And a third simply said: 'Becky was nice! #countryfile.'
Her OnlyFans page includes photographs show the 29-year-old straddling a motorbike, enjoying a night out with friends, and on holiday.
Becky, who is known online as the 'Jersey Cow Girl', also has 67,5000 followers on Instagram.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The U.N. Security Council failed in two rival votes Friday to extend humanitarian aid deliveries from Turkey to 4.1 million Syrians in the rebel-held northwest, with the U.S. ambassador warning that “people will die because of this vote.”
After days of consultations, the U.N.’s most powerful body remained divided over the key issue of the length of an extension.
Almost all council members favored a year-long extension, which the U.N. secretary-general and more than 30 non-governmental organization insist is the minimum time frame needed, but Russia demanded a six-month renewal, with a new resolution required for another six months.
The failure of the U.N.’s most powerful body to agree on an extension came two days before Sunday’s expiration of the council’s current one-year mandate for deliveries through the Bab al-Hawa border crossing from Turkey to northwest Idlib.
Many ambassadors, including those from Ireland, Norway, the United States, France and China, said after the two votes that they will continue trying to get an agreement among the 15 council members so that aid is not stopped.
Soon after the two votes and speeches, council members went into closed consultations and discussions were expected to continue over the weekend.
Russia’s deputy ambassador Dmitry Polyansky told reporters there was “99% agreement” on a resolution and Russia wouldn’t support a nine-month extension, suggested by Brazil and the United Arab Emirates.
Unless council members decide to go with the Russian six-month proposal, Polyansky said, he sees no possibility for an agreement. Asked whether that meant that Russia would veto any proposed resolution that didn’t follow its draft with a six-month timeline, he replied “Obviously.”
The first vote was on the resolution for a one-year extension drafted by Norway and Ireland. It was supported by 13 countries, with China abstaining and Russia using its veto to defeat the measure.
Council members then voted on the rival Russian resolution for a six-month extension. The vote was just 2 countries in favor, 3 against and 10 abstentions.
China was the only country to join its ally Russia in supporting the resolution while the three other veto-wielding permanent council members — the United States, Britain and France — voted against it. But their vetoes were not needed because the resolution failed to get the minimum nine “yes” votes required for approval.
Calling it “a dark, dark day in the Security Council,” U.S. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield told members after the vote that the impact on Syrians in the northwest will be “swift and dire.”
“I have long said this is a life-and-death issue,” she said, blaming Russia’s veto for the deaths that are likely to come.
Thomas-Greenfield, who visited Bab al-Hawa in June, said aid workers told her that a six-month renewal would be “a disaster” for their supply lines and “would mean lifesaving assistance would shut off in the dead of winter when needs are at their highest, which would be a nightmare scenario for a region where millions of people are still displaced.”
International aid groups urged the Security Council to reach an agreement before the July 10 deadline warning that the Russian veto will harm millions of people in urgent need of assistance.
International Rescue Committee President David Miliband said there is currently no viable alternative to cross-border assistance, which means “this already extreme crisis is set to move to a humanitarian catastrophe.”
Tamer Kirolos, Syria Response Director at Save the Children, warned that failing to reauthorize the Bab al-Hawa crossing “risks the lives of hundreds of thousands of children” in camps who won’t know where their next meal is coming from.
Mercy Corps’ CEO Tjada D’Oyen McKenna said people in northwest Syria are witnessing one of the most dire periods of the 11-year conflict, pointing also to worsening drought, economic crisis, and the war in Ukraine’s impact on food and fuel prices. Stopping aid from Turkey means the future of the 4 million people in the northwest who relied on those deliveries to provide food and other necessities for their families “is now even more uncertain,” she said.
Syrian military analyst Ahmad Rahhal, a former brigadier general who defected during the conflict and joined the opposition, tweeted that “Russia’s crimes” are not only through its military and support of President Bashar Assad’s government but now “have reached the level of depriving children, women and elderly in north Syria or food.”
Thomas-Greenfield, the U.S. ambassador, vowed to honor her promise to aid workers and refugees that “I would do everything in my power to renew this resolution.”
In case the Security Council doesn’t act, Thomas-Greenfield said aid groups told her they had pre-positioned about three months of supplies, and hopefully more supplies by now.
She stressed that if a U.N. resolution isn’t adopted and U.N. monitoring of aid deliveries ends, “the border is not closing,” and “we will continue to work with the humanitarian community to find ways to continue to provide humanitarian assistance directly to the Syrian people.”
The U.N. said last week that the first 10 years of the Syrian conflict, which started in 2011, killed more than 300,000 civilians — the highest official estimate of civilian casualties. Northwest Idlib is the last rebel-held bastion in Syria and a region where an al-Qaida-linked militant group, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, is the strongest.
Russia, a close ally of Syria’s government, has repeatedly called for stepped up humanitarian aid deliveries to the northwest from within Syria, across conflict lines. This would give Syrian President Bashar Assad’s government more control.
In early July 2020, China and Russia vetoed a U.N. resolution that would have maintained two border crossing points from Turkey for humanitarian aid to Idlib. Days later, the council authorized the delivery of aid through just one of those crossings, Bab al-Hawa.
In a compromise with Russia, that one-year mandate was extended on July 9, 2021, for six months, with an additional six months subject to a “substantive report” from U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. This was effectively a year-long mandate because a second resolution wasn’t needed.
U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric called cross-border aid critical for men, women and children in the northwest and stressed the importance of long-term planning, including to costs.
“In 2021, we had 800 trucks of cross-border aid go through each month, consistently reaching about 2.4 million people,” he told reporters Thursday. He said 4,648 trucks crossed in the first six months of this year.
The U.N. also carried out five deliveries across conflict lines last year and so far this year with about 2,529 metric tons of assistance including foods and health supplies, he said.

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. News & World Report has unranked Columbia University from its 2022 edition of Best Colleges, saying in a statement that the Ivy League institution failed to substantiate certain 2021 data it previously submitted, including student-faculty ratios and class size.
The decision to rescind the school’s No. 2 rating among national universities in the 2022 edition came about a week after Columbia announced it would not be submitting data for the 2023 edition of Best Colleges after one of its mathematics professors recently raised questions about the accuracy of past submissions.
The 2022 edition was first published in September 2021. Prospective students often rely on the U.S. News & World Report rankings to determine where they should apply to college.
Columbia Provost Mary Boyce, in a statement posted June 30, said the school was reviewing its data collection and submissions process in light of the professor’s concerns and could not complete the work in time for U.S. News and World Report’s July 1 deadline for the 2023 Best Colleges edition.
“Columbia has long conducted what we believed to be a thorough process for gathering and reporting institutional data, but we are now closely reviewing our processes in light of the questions raised,” she wrote. “The ongoing review is a matter of integrity. We will take no shortcuts in getting it right.”
U.S. News said it contacted Columbia officials in March after learning there were questions about the accuracy of the university’s submission and asked it to substantiate some of information.
“To date, Columbia has been unable to provide satisfactory responses to the information U.S. News requested,” the publisher said in a statement Thursday.
Therefore, the publisher said , it has removed the numerical ranking of the school in various lists including 2022 National Universities, 2022 Best Value Schools and 2022 Top Performers on Social Mobility.
Columbia will remain ranked in other areas that relied on ratings from top officials at other universities and departments and didn’t include data from Columbia.
The unranked status will appear on Columbia’s profile page on USNews.com. | https://fox59.com/news/national-world/ap-us-news/incomplete-grade-columbia-loses-ranking-over-dubious-data/ | 2022-07-09T11:53:33Z | https://fox59.com/news/national-world/ap-us-news/incomplete-grade-columbia-loses-ranking-over-dubious-data/ | false |
What is the best fishing net?
Hooking a fish takes patience and skill. Experienced anglers know the reward of landing the day’s prize. But landing a fish is difficult with your bare hands. That’s why fishing nets are important gear to bring fish into the boat and make sure all your hard work isn’t in vain.
Fishing nets are not only good for anglers, but rubber mesh nets are good for fish you may release back into the water. The best fishing net is the Wakeman Retractable Fishing Net, which has an expandable handle for hard-to-reach places, then retracts to a smaller size for easy stowing.
What to know before you buy a fishing net
What length of fishing net is best?
This depends on the length of your boat and the height of its gunwale. The farther you have to reach beyond the boat’s edge, the longer the net handle you need. Kayakers and jon boaters need shorter handles. If you have limited storage, look for fishing nets with telescopic handles that can be extended, then retracted when no longer in use. Keep in mind that retractable handles are not as strong as solid handles.
What kind of mesh is best?
There are three types of mesh, but only one is good for fish.
- Coated nylon and knotless nylon are rugged and stand up to tough conditions, but can be rough on fish.
- Nylon can cause scale and mucous damage to delicate species. This is a significant consideration for catch and release fishing.
- Rubber mesh is the best option if you want to protect the fish. It also tends to take less time to remove fish and hooks from rubber mesh.
What shape of net is best?
Teardrop and squared-off teardrop shaped nets are versatile and popular. They are designed for anglers to gather a struggling fish more easily. Some have a raised front in case you have to reach extra far.
What to look for in a quality fishing net
Size
The size of net is influenced by the length of fish you are catching. It is always better to have too large a net if you have to err on one side.
Material
There are three main types of frame material.
- Aluminum is the most common frame material. It is strong, lightweight and resists corrosion.
- Fiberglass is stronger than aluminum, but it is heavier. It is usually reserved for larger nets and fish.
- Wood and wood laminate frames offer a classic look with good strength. They are ideal for shorter nets for small boats and kayaks.
Retractable handle
Long handles are not easy to store. Retractable handles can be collapsed into a shorter length that will fit inside the boat or eventually a storage bin offshore. The length of retractable handles varies from 2 to 10 feet, with most measuring between 4 to 6 feet.
Mesh size
A net’s mesh holes are important for the type of fish you’re snaring. Smaller fish, such as trout, need small micromesh holes. Heavier fish such as walleye or bass need 1-inch size holes. The biggest fish need holes that are 1.5 to 2 inches apart, because this creates less resistance to gliding the net easily through the water.
How much you can expect to spend on a fishing net
Inexpensive fishing nets, which are the shortest nets and built for smaller fish, such as trout, are priced at $25-$40. Midrange fishing nets cost $40-$75, and there is an abundance of telescopic options in this range with strong aluminum frames. Expensive nets run $75-$150. These are the longest and strongest, designed for the largest fish; they often have fiberglass and carbon fiber composite frames with retractable handles.
Fishing net FAQ
Why is it important to protect a fish’s slime coat?
A. Since nylon and cloth-based mesh can wipe away a fish’s slime coat, it is important to use rubber mesh. A slime coat is the fish’s primary layer of protection against disease and parasites. It is similar to a human being’s top layer of skin. If a fish loses the slime coat and is tossed back into the water, it is unprotected and vulnerable to sickness and injury.
Are there special nets for fly fishing?
A. Some nets are marketed for fly fishing, but most nets can be used. The key consideration is using one with rubber mesh to protect the delicate species of fish that are often part of fly fishing.

Farrell hails Ireland's history men for beating All Blacks
July 9 (Reuters) - Ireland coach Andy Farrell hailed the courage of his players after they became the first Irish team to beat the All Blacks in New Zealand on Saturday to tie up their July series 1-1.
The 23-12 victory in Dunedin was the first for Ireland in 14 attempts on New Zealand soil going back to 1976 and gave them a fourth win in their last seven matches against the All Blacks.
"It's a privilege to be here and witness what we just witnessed with the boys going toe-to-toe and being so courageous from minute one," Farrell told reporters at Otago Stadium.
"They come over here and know that there is a piece of history for them in their careers. We talk about it to them: 'Somebody's going to do it sometime soon and it might as well be you'.
"They keep turning up and breaking their little records and I'm so proud of them. They've earned the right for next week to go into a decider."
The third test will take place in the New Zealand capital Wellington, where Farrell as defence coach helped to guide the British & Irish Lions to a test victory in 2017.
Farrell was impressed that his team did not lose their focus, especially in the first half when three yellow cards and the dismissal of All Blacks prop Angus Ta'avao made for some chaotic moments.
"We know that the All Blacks traditionally come out better in game two, especially here under the roof and we were as courageous as we were last week," he added.
"We came out of the blocks quick and put them under some pressure and scored some tries. The game wasn't perfect but we were calm, we didn't get sucked into the allure of the game.
"Them going down to 14 or 13 men, we kept playing the game that was in front of us. Again, it wasn't perfect, we gave a few penalties away and gave them access but we stayed calm and stayed in the fight.
"We were the ones who played for 80 minutes this week."

The greatest feat of Tiger Woods at St. Andrews was never captured on television.
There was nothing extraordinary about his victory in the 2005 British Open. It was the second claret jug Woods won on the Old Course, cementing an affection so deep for St. Andrews that he was never going to miss it this year as long as he could walk.
Woods never trailed over the final 63 holes. He led by as many as six shots in the final round and won by five. Still, he knew right away that Sunday was going to be special based on the practice range.
Starting his warm-up of full swings with a wedge, his first shot hit the wooden 100-yard sign.
And then he did it again. And again. And again.
“Four straight times,” Woods said in an interview later that year with The Associated Press. “I hit a couple of little wedges to loosen up, then hit to the sign. Peppered it four straight times in the air on the right zero — not the middle zero, the right zero.”
The story gets better.
Standing behind him was Hank Haney, his swing coach at the time, who watched quietly before leaning in to give some advice to caddie Steve Williams.
“He hit that sign four times in a row — and five out of eight,” Williams said. “Hank says to me, ‘The first time he gets inside 100 yards, you might want to tell him to aim away from the flag.’"
Williams laughed. Except that it wasn’t a joke.
“First time I’m inside 100 yards is on No. 6,” Woods said. “I had 98 yards to the hole. What happens? I one-hop it off the flag and it spins off the shelf.”
Whether he can summon moments like that again are doubtful given his age and the nature of his injuries. If the four knee surgeries and five back surgeries were not enough, Woods shattered bones in his right leg and ankle in a February 2021 car crash in Los Angeles. He said doctors briefly considered amputation.
Fourteen months later, he took on the toughest walk in championship golf at the Masters and competed well enough to make the cut. He didn't know in April how much he could play the rest of the year — so much remains unknown — except that it would include St. Andrews.
“It's my favorite golf course in the world,” Woods said, strong words from a Californian who delivered the most dominant performance in a major at Pebble Beach and who has five Masters green jackets from Augusta National.
The Old Course is special to so many others before him, from Bobby Jones to Jack Nicklaus, and it helps to have experienced that moment standing in front of the Royal & Ancient clubhouse holding a silver claret jug and being introduced as the “champion golfer of the year.”
But the memories he created extend to one moment that took him a century back in time, during a practice round in 2000 when he won to complete the career Grand Slam.
The goal that week was to add to the history at the home of golf. On the eve of the Open, Woods had a chance to relive history.
He was on the 352-yard ninth hole during a practice round Wednesday when his swing coach, Butch Harmon, gave him a replica of the gutta-percha golf ball used more than a century earlier. It was a brown, molded rubber ball with score lines across the surface.
The gutta-percha was the first game-changer in golf — yes, technology in the Royal & Ancient game began long before titanium and the Pro V1 — replacing a ball consisting of feathers packed into a pouch.
Woods couldn't resist.
After hitting driver to the front edge of the green, he smacked the gutta-percha replica and still had 120 yards remaining. Woods hit a full 5-iron just over the back. He made par.
And then he went on to make his own brand of history that year, winning by eight shots to become the fifth player to capture the career Grand Slam, and doing so without hitting into a single bunker all week on the Old Course.
This is the history that is so appealing to him, along with the names on the base of that silver claret jug, a trophy that first was awarded 150 years ago.
Woods is among only five players who have won the Open twice at St. Andrews. No one has done it three times and odds are not in his favor. Even so, there is something magical about the gray old town, and there is a part of Woods who believes it might be his best chance, even on only one good wheel.
Woods realizes his window is closing. It likely will be at least five years before the Open returns to St. Andrews. He said earlier this week in Ireland that he can always play golf as long as he can swing a club. Competing against the world's best? That's different.
“I know that he’s been circling this on his calendar for a while and he’s been vocal about that and it’s I think his favorite golf course in the world and he loves it, and obviously he’s had some great success there,” said Justin Thomas, who spends time with Woods at home in Florida.
“I know everybody will be very eagerly anticipating and ready to watch him play St. Andrews because it’s going to be a pretty historic week.”

The Philadelphia Union tied the Major League Soccer record for victory margin with a 7-0 rout of D.C. United on Friday night behind Julián Carranzas's first MLS hat trick.
Mikael Uhrem, a 27-year-old forward in his first MLS season, and Alejandro Bedoya had two goals apiece in the first MLS multigoal game for each.
Philadelphia set a team record for goals and was one shy of the league record.
The victory margin matched the LA Galaxy's 8-1 win over Dallas on June 4, 1998, and 7-0 wins by Chicago at Kansas City on July 4, 2001, the New York Red Bulls at New York City on May 21, 2016, and Atlanta against visiting New England on Sept. 13, 2017.
D.C.'s previous worst margin of defeat was a 6-1 loss to Kansas City s on June 21, 1997.
Carranza, a 22-year-old Argentine striker acquired from Inter Miami in December, scored in the 22nd and 25th minutes for the Union (8-2-9), then added his final goal in the 72nd minute.
Bedoya scored the opening goal in the ninth minute, added another in the 36th and raised his season total to five.
Uhre scored in the second minute of first-half stoppage time and the 59th.
Philadelphia goalkeeper Andre Blake had three saves. Rafael Romo saved just three of 10 shots United.
The Union outshot United (5-10-2) 19-9, with 10 shots on goal to three for United.
These teams take to the pitch again Wednesday, with the Union visiting Inter Miami while United hosts the Columbus Crew. | https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/sports/union/union-ties-mls-record-for-victory-margin-with-7-0-rout-of-dc/3294715/ | 2022-07-09T12:29:48Z | https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/sports/union/union-ties-mls-record-for-victory-margin-with-7-0-rout-of-dc/3294715/ | false |
SINGAPORE, July 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Beginning from July 8th, MoonXBT, the innovative crypto social trading platform will implement zero-fee policy on multiple trading pairs for the spot market indefinitely until there's further official notice.
This zero-fee approach comes following the footsteps of some major exchanges such as Robinhood, Coinbase and Binnance. It is a necessary step to take to lessen the burden of the retail investors facing the bearish market. MoonXBT is one of the few crypto exchanges with a middle size of trading volume to carry out the zero-fee policy in sync with major players of the industry.
However, compared to Binance whose zero-fee policy only applies to Bitcoin trading pairs mainly including only BTC/USD, BTC/USDT, BTC/USDC, and BTC/BUSD, MoonXBT eliminates transaction fee for much more crypto trading pairs including BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT, BNB/USDT, ADA/USDT, and XRP/USDT.
The exchange will also consider adding more trading pairs to the no-fee list in the future based on how the user base reacts to the zero-fee policy this time.
All users will enjoy zero-fee for both maker and taker orders without trading volume requirements or other pre-conditions.
"In spite of the fact that our trading volume is moderate compared to Binance or others, we have reserved enough power to handle the current market situation. No matter if it's a temporary correction or a bearish period, we want to take measures to make sure our users can cope with this phase together with our platform. We also want to make it easier for new users who want to try crypto investing during a relatively quiet time, " says Geroge Lee, the COO of MoonXBT.
Furthermore, MoonXBT has prepared 10,000 USDT for airdrop for the upcoming new users. Considering the social nature of the platform, the airdrop will be allocated based on the number of invites users bring.
Also, as the social trading platform, MoonXBT is equipped with social power to provide mental support to users to cope with the hard times. Users can always join the community or come to the forum to exchange thoughts and share strategies to discover effective ways to manage the market and to lessen fears and anxieties to keep emotional clarity and stability which is crucial for making investment decisions.
MoonXBT is also developing new products that can potentially hedge the crypto downtrend at this phase. It is also exploring new pricing models, new corporations and new business sources to provide consistent benefits to the users while keeping the sustainability of the exchange.

An early-morning shooting at a Homewood motel left a man critically injured.
Homewood police Sgt. John Carr said officers were dispatched at 5:10 a.m. Saturday to a report of a domestic dispute at the Motel 6 on Vulcan Road. As they were en route, they received a second report stating someone had been shot.
Once on the scene, they found a man with a gunshot wound to the head. He was taken to UAB Hospital in critical condition.
Carr said detectives are interviewing a person who was possibly involved in the domestic incident.

ROME (AP) — Italian authorities on Saturday put the final death toll of an avalanche in northern Italy at 11 and said all the victims had been identified nearly a week after a chunk of ice detached from a melting glacier and sent a torrent of ice, rock and debris on hikers below.
Carabinieri Cmdr. Giampietro Lago, who headed a team of forensic experts identifying the remains, said the identity of the final hiker had been established and “there are no elements” at this point to suggest the death toll would grow.
An apartment building-sized chunk of the Marmolada glacier in Italy’s Dolomite mountains detached July 3, sparking an avalanche of debris down the mountain that is a popular hiking destination in summer.
Experts have said warming temperatures likely contributed to the cleaving, since the glacier has lost mass and volume for years and been melting more quickly than usual this summer amid a heat wave, possibly destabilizing it.
A day of mourning was observed Saturday throughout the affected area, known as the Val di Fassa.

Urgent need to refill gaps in Indian healthcare post-Covid: Report
The over two years of Covid-19 pandemic laid bare the already failing health systems of India and people continue to suffer. With the country now facing recurring infections post-Covid, there is an urgent need to refill gaps in the healthcare systems, suggests a report on Friday.
New Delhi, The over two years of Covid-19 pandemic laid bare the already failing health systems of India and people continue to suffer. With the country now facing recurring infections post-Covid, there is an urgent need to refill gaps in the healthcare systems, suggests a report on Friday.
The 'Health Systems Resilience Index (HSRI)' report by global think tank Observer Research Foundation (ORF) offers insights into the state of the country's health systems at a disaggregated sub-national level, and the parameters that need to be addressed in the short term.
"There is no better time than now to invest in health systems. Today, as the world sees a likely future of recurring infections, state leaders will need to prioritise the building of knowledge systems and investment in human capital and critical infrastructure, and to put into place robust evaluative mechanisms. This will need an across-the-board consensus for action," Dr Samir Saran, President, ORF, wrote in the report.
India's healthcare delivery system has historically suffered from ad-hoc regulation, poor monitoring, and modest budgetary allocations.
The report highlighted how during the pandemic some states and Union Territories (UTs) succeeded more than others in streamlining the resources rapidly to fight Covid.
"The key was aligning their health systems with the needs of the population," Saran said.
The report showed that in the domain of institutional support to the health sector, Meghalaya did exceedingly well, and Himachal Pradesh, Sikkim, and even small states like Tripura, Goa, and Mizoram did relatively well. Jammu & Kashmir leads among the UTs.
In terms of managing Covid-related health outcomes, Himachal Pradesh, among the large states, and small states like Goa and Tripura did better than others. Among UTs, Lakshadweep and Andaman and Nicobar Islands showed noteworthy results, even outperforming all states.
Tamil Nadu and Chhattisgarh (among the larger states) and Goa (among the small states) have the best records in their general health profile, and among the UTs, Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu are the leaders.
In medical infrastructure, smaller states such as Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim, and Mizoram have the best population-level services as do larger states like Kerala and Maharashtra. Among UTs, Lakshadweep is the most equipped.
Goa, among the small states and Tamil Nadu and Kerala, among the large states fulfil the most number of criteria for technology infrastructure. Delhi leads among the UTs.
The report calls for better data infrastructures to drive policy, and an aggressive push towards Universal Health Coverage to "fill the yawning gaps in the country's health systems".
It showed that only the states and UTs with higher per-capita income levels are significantly more resilient to combat a potential new wave of the pandemic or any other health crisis of similar magnitude, than the poorer regions.
Calling the Covid immunisation drive a "remarkable" achievement, the report advises the policy makers to "learn from the past three waves and ramp up investments in health and develop sound strategies for expected future waves".
"As unprecedented as the Covid-19 crisis has been, it will not be the last. We are required to strengthen our health systems and make them harmonious, equitable, and sustainable. It would do us well to start doing this now," Saran said. | https://health.economictimes.indiatimes.com/amp/news/industry/urgent-need-to-refill-gaps-in-indian-healthcare-post-covid-report/92769312 | 2022-07-09T12:55:26Z | https://health.economictimes.indiatimes.com/amp/news/industry/urgent-need-to-refill-gaps-in-indian-healthcare-post-covid-report/92769312 | false |

Twitter deal is dead, long live the 'Truth': Trump celebrates Elon Musk pulling out of $44b deal to buy social media giant and touts his own platform as CEO launches legal action to MAKE world's richest man complete sale
- Trump gloated 'THE TWITTER DEAL IS DEAD, LONG LIVE THE "TRUTH"'
- He posted on his Twitter lookalike Truth Social after Musk withdrew his offer
- The Tesla CEO claimed Twitter had refused to say how many users were fake
- Twitter says it'll now sue Musk to force him to go through with the deal
- Case could end in Musk settling to escape deal, or offering lower amount
Donald Trump has gloated about Elon Musk ending his efforts to buy Twitter, writing: 'THE TWITTER DEAL IS DEAD, LONG LIVE THE “TRUTH”.'
The former president shared his thoughts on his own rival social network Truth Social Friday evening, shortly after it emerged that Musk, 51, had withdrawn a $44 billion bid.
Trump's post was liked close to 37,000 times, and shared more than 9,000 times on Truth, where Trump has 3.5 million followers.
He set up the Twitter look-a-like after being banned by former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey in January 2020, days after the Capitol riots.
Truth Social boasts an estimated two million active users, compared to the 300 million who've signed up to Twitter.
On Friday Musk, who is the world's richest man, announced he was ending his bid to buy Twitter at $54.20-a-share, prompting a furious response from the firm's bosses, who say they'll sue to force through the deal.
Musk accused Twitter bosses of refusing to hand over details about the number of fake users on its site, in a letter announcing that he was reneging on the deal.
The billionaire blasted the social media giant for refusing to 'comply with its contractual obligations' throughout the acquisition process.
Donald Trump gloated about Elon Musk withdrawing his bid to buy Twitter on his rival social media network Truth Social Friday
Musk, pictured at the Met Gala in May, announced he was terminating his bid to buy Twitter on Friday after claiming Twitter is in breach of an agreement they'd reached
He also claimed the company had failed to operate normally over the past two months as it froze its hiring process and fired senior staff.
Twitter shares closed at $36.81 on Friday after Musk moved to back out of the deal, sparking speculation the Tesla owner is still trying to acquire the firm - but for a far lower price than he previously offered.
Musk is expected to speak at the so-called Billionaires' Summer Camp at Sun Valley, Utah, on Saturday.
Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal is also at the tycoons' summit, although it remains unclear if the two men have met.
In a letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission announcing Musk was ending his bid for Twitter, Skadden Arps attorney Mike Ringler - acting for Musk - said Twitter were in material breach of multiple provisions of the agreement.
Ringler wrote: 'Mr Musk is terminating the Merger Agreement because Twitter is in material breach of multiple provisions of that Agreement, appears to have made false and misleading representations upon which Mr. Musk relied when entering into the Merger Agreement, and is likely to suffer a Company Material Adverse Effect.
'While Section 6.4 of the Merger Agreement requires Twitter to provide Mr. Musk and his advisors all data and information that Mr. Musk requests 'for any reasonable business purpose related to the consummation of the transaction,' Twitter has not complied with its contractual obligations.
'For nearly two months, Mr. Musk has sought the data and information necessary to 'make an independent assessment of the prevalence of fake or spam accounts on Twitter's platform'.

Twitter's share price closed at just $36.81 on Friday evening - far below the peak of $50-a-share it hit after Musk announced his desire to buy up the firm
'This information is fundamental to Twitter's business and financial performance and is necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement because it is needed to ensure Twitter's satisfaction of the conditions to closing, to facilitate Mr Musk's financing and financial planning for the transaction, and to engage in transition planning for the business.
'Twitter has failed or refused to provide this information. Sometimes Twitter has ignored Mr Musk's requests, sometimes it has rejected them for reasons that appear to be unjustified, and sometimes it has claimed to comply while giving Mr Musk incomplete or unusable information.'
Musk had previously threatened to halt the deal unless the firm showed proof spam and bot accounts were fewer than 5 per cent of users who see advertising on the social media service.
But Twitter immediately threatened to take legal action and said it was confident it would win.
Taylor tweeted: 'The Twitter Board is committed to closing the transaction on the price and terms agreed upon with Mr Musk and plans to pursue legal action to enforce the merger agreement.
'We are confident we will prevail in the Delaware Court of Chancery.' That message was later retweeted by CEO Agrawal.
In an internal memo, Twitter's general counsel reportedly said: 'Given this is an ongoing legal matter, you should refrain from Tweeting, Slacking, or sharing any commentary about the Merger Agreement.'
Speaking to NBC News about the collapsed deal, an anonymous Twitter employee said that Musk had 'f**king destroyed the company.'
The employee said: 'I guess it feels like we won. But it feels like the end of the movie, where the characters are bloodied and bedraggled with a Michael Bay explosion behind them. We could see this was coming, but in the meantime he's f**king destroyed the company.'
Twitter is famed for a woke workforce who've previously been blasted for censorious behavior in the interest of blocking speech they deem 'harmful.'
Musk said he planned to take a far more laid back approach to moderation.
He wanted to impose temporary suspensions on users, rather than outright, lifetime bans for bad behavior - such as the one imposed on Donald Trump over his alleged stoking of the January 6 riots.
Musk is an avid user of the site, and says he wanted to buy it to shape it into a powerful force for free speech.
During an all-hands meeting with employees in April, Agrawal attempted to quell employee anger after workers demanded answers to how managers planned to handle an anticipated mass exodus prompted by Musk.
Agrawal stood to make $42 million if the Musk deal went ahead.
Musk's decision is likely to result in a protracted legal tussle between the billionaire and the 16-year-old San Francisco-based company.
Disputed mergers and acquisitions that land in Delaware courts more often than not end up with the companies re-negotiating deals or the acquirer paying the target a settlement to walk away, rather than a judge ordering that a transaction be completed.
That is because target companies are often keen to resolve the uncertainty around their future and move on.
Twitter, however, is hoping that court proceedings will start in a few weeks and be resolved in a few months, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The drama could be resolved by Twitter agreeing to sell itself to Musk for a lower amount, or by Musk agreeing to pay a settlement to the firm for backing out of the deal. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10997639/Trump-celebrates-Elon-Musk-pulling-44b-deal-buy-Twitter.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | 2022-07-09T13:13:08Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10997639/Trump-celebrates-Elon-Musk-pulling-44b-deal-buy-Twitter.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | true |
