Stephen Robinson asked for patience after St Mirren’s season got off to a losing start against Arbroath on Saturday.
The Buddies boss gave gave debuts to new signings Trevor Carson, Declan Gallagher, Mark O’Hara, Toyosi Olusanya and Jonah Ayunga in the opening Premier Sports Cup Group E tie in Paisley, while fellow new player Ryan Strain was on the bench.
However, it was Dylan Paterson scored a late winner for the cinch Championship part-timers to take the points back to Gayfield.
Robinson told Saints’ official website that time will help in their improvement.
He said: “We had numerous chances, things cleared off the line but you have to give them credit as well. They stuck at it and they test you.
“We didn’t get what we wanted but we know it is the start of something.
“We have a lot of new players and we have players who aren’t here at the moment, or in the squad; Curtis (Main), (Eamonn) Brophy and Keanu (Baccus) who isn’t even in the country yet.
“So there will be changes as we go along so I am asking, be patient with the squad, get behind the players. It is a disappointment, make no mistake.
“As a collective, we have to be better, we know we have to be sharper, we have to move the ball quicker and that’s the basics of football and we didn’t do them quite well enough as a group.” | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/sport/3477982/stephen-robinson-wants-patience-at-st-mirren/ | 2022-07-11T00:14:22Z | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/sport/3477982/stephen-robinson-wants-patience-at-st-mirren/ | false |
Christian Ramirez’s second-half double gave Aberdeen a 2-0 win in their opening Premier Sports Cup Group A game against Peterhead.
The Dons striker converted a penalty in the 63rd minute after Matt Kennedy was pulled down by Blue Toon defender Jack Brown and then headed in a Marley Watkins cross 10 minutes later to clinch the points.
The cinch Premiership visitors were without Lewis Ferguson as he prepares to travel to Italy to complete his move to Bologna next week, but another midfielder, Ross McCrorie, was at the heart of most of the action in the first half.
In the opening minutes his powerful left-footed shot from 20 yards smacked the crossbar, with the ball hitting goalkeeper Jack Newman and going behind for a corner which came to nothing.
The League One side worked their way into the game but in the 27th minute Newman pushed a low drive from McCrorie past a post for another corner, with the danger eventually cleared.
Newman brilliantly saved Ramirez’s low drive from 16 yards for yet another fruitless corner before McCrorie had the ball in the net from 10 yards in the 42nd minute, only for a foul to be called against Jayden Richardson before he set the midfielder up with his cut back.
Newman made two further saves from Ramirez, but in the 56th minute Aberdeen keeper Kelle Roos made a terrific save from Ryan Dow’s long-range drive and from the corner Dons defender Liam Scales cleared off the line.
Moments later, however, after Kennedy went tumbling inside the box, Ramirez sent Newman the wrong way with his spot-kick.
And when the Dons striker nodded in a cross from Watkins the away fans could relax. | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/sport/3478552/christian-ramirez-at-the-double-as-aberdeen-see-off-peterhead/ | 2022-07-11T00:15:07Z | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/sport/3478552/christian-ramirez-at-the-double-as-aberdeen-see-off-peterhead/ | true |

Isabel Aguilar hasn’t hugged her grandmother in well over a decade.
On Wednesday, she and her mother stood on a hill looking over the beach that is the southwesternmost corner of the United States. They waved through two border fences to her grandmother, who was standing in Tijuana. It was the first time they had seen her since Aguilar was in elementary school. She’s now 23 and finishing college.

Thank you for your support.
The distance created by two rows of border wall was too far to carry on a conversation, even if they yelled. So they talked on cellphones.
They looked longingly at the space between the two layers of border barrier. Accessed by a pedestrian gate in the fence further inside the U.S., Friendship Park is a decades-old binational park that was supposed to be a symbol of the community that stretches across the border. The women had seen images online of how family members separated by the border used to be able to visit each other at this park and at least press their fingers through the mesh wall to touch their loved ones.
But Friendship Park has been closed since the pandemic began. Now, with an announcement from the Biden administration that border wall construction will resume in the area, many are concerned that the closure will become permanent.
That would make the current way of visiting family near the park — a phone call while waving through two sets of metal fencing — the new normal.
The construction plans, according to members of Friends of Friendship Park who attended a recent meeting with Border Patrol officials, will replace both of the current layers of border barrier with 30-foot bollards, or posts set close together to prevent anyone from slipping through between them — the same style that the Trump administration erected in many places along the California border.
According to the advocates, Border Patrol officials told them that current construction plans do not include pedestrian gates to allow people into the park.
“What was clear was there had been no contemplation about public access to the site,” said Pedro Rios, director of the American Friends Service Committee’s U.S./Mexico Border Program. “For us that meant the legacy of Friendship Park where families and visitors have gathered for decades would essentially be terminated. It would be done with.”
Border Patrol Agent Tekae Michael said the project is moving forward to replace deteriorated barriers that are no longer structurally sound and now pose a safety risk. She noted that some parts of the current barrier have been damaged by the ocean.
“In the near future we should have more information regarding placement of gates,” Michael said.
She did not directly address follow up questions emailed by the Union-Tribune, including about agents’ statements to the Friends of Friendship Park, a community coalition that advocates for access to the park.
“CBP recognizes the value of having a safe meeting place for families and friends on both sides of the border,” said a Customs and Border Protection spokesperson who declined to be named. “Upon completion of the San Diego Friendship Circle Project, CBP will identify opportunities to provide the public with access once it is operationally safe to do so.”
The construction is among seven projects that the Department of Homeland Security has decided to resume after an executive order in the early days of President Biden’s term paused border wall construction. An announcement from DHS at the end of May said that the department expects work to begin quickly.
Advocates spotted contractors at the site on Wednesday.
A place of hope and history
To the Border Patrol agents who monitor the area closely from SUVs and all-terrain vehicles, the U.S. side of Friendship Park is part of the “enforcement zone,” a space created strategically by the two border barriers to assist agents in capturing people trying to cross north.
But for families like the Aguilars, the stretch of land is the bittersweet place where they reconnect with loved ones left behind.
“It’s the country of opportunity, but with those opportunities come emotional tragedies,” said Isabel Aguilar’s mother, Yenory Aguilar, 41, in Spanish.
“That’s the price for the American dream,” Isabel added in English. “You can’t see your family.”
The park, which will celebrate its 51st anniversary in August, is located inside California’s much larger Border Field State Park, which shares a border with the Playas neighborhood in Tijuana. At its inception, Friendship Park was supposed to be a binational space that people from both sides of the border could enjoy.
Then-First Lady Pat Nixon said at the park’s inauguration on Aug. 18, 1971, that she hoped the fence that separated the United States from Mexico would soon come down. That fence was little more than short posts and some barbed wire that she easily reached over to shake hands with the crowd on the Mexican side.
But in the early ’90s, the U.S. built the “primary fence” or first layer of border barrier at the site. The steel posts run all the way into the ocean. In the area around Friendship Park, the fence includes a metal mesh so that people can’t pass items through it. The holes are just big enough for fingertips.
In the late 2000s, the United States added a “secondary fence” or second layer of silver steel mesh fencing with razor wire on top from the edge of the beach heading east. Access to the park between the two fences became controlled by Border Patrol.
More recently, Border Patrol installed a camera and radar system that includes a sign warning that because of the potential for exposure, the device shouldn’t be within about 25 feet of people. It’s positioned very close to Friendship Park’s pedestrian gate.
The park has long been a place of hope — advocates for greater cross-border community have hosted binational yoga, Sunday Mass and Christmas posadas. It has also been, at times, a place of protest.
Martin Luther King III visited the edge of Border Field State Park in 2018 on the 55th anniversary of his father’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech to denounce the Trump administration’s immigration policies.
A few months later, hundreds of people marched to the border there, where some purposefully crossed the line on the beach into the enforcement zone and were arrested.
Then-Atty. Gen. Jeff Sessions also visited the area just outside Friendship Park in 2018 to announce the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” policy, which led to mass family separations at the border.
At the outset of the pandemic, Friendship Park closed entirely, along with Border Field State Park. Border Patrol said that Friendship Park visitation would reopen when the state park did, but now Border Field is open, and Friendship Park remains closed. Border Patrol told the Union-Tribune in May that the park would stay closed for now because agents were too busy responding to border crossings in other areas.
The energy and life on the Mexican side of Friendship Park — even the fence itself — have long stood in stark contrast with the quiet beach and Border Patrol agents on the U.S. side. The Mexican side is painted with extensive murals, including recently added portraits of “Dreamers” or undocumented immigrants who came to the United States as children. It is not clear what will happen to the art if the structure is torn down to make way for its replacement.
The new normal
On the Tijuana side on Wednesday, a tuba player wandered along the border fence. People sat on the beach and played in the surf. One young person whipped a skimboard through the incoming waves.
On the U.S. side, a Border Patrol agent sat in an SUV looking out over a beach that was empty except for an abandoned sailboat. The Aguilars stood a matter of yards from the agent, as close to the secondary fence as the public is allowed, to see the grandmother, Isabel Montesinos.
The Aguilars had traveled from Orange County, roughly a two-hour car ride followed by the 40-minute or 1½-mile hike into Border Field State Park, for their visit. Montesinos took a bus for several hours from her town in the state of Veracruz to an airport to then fly several more hours to Tijuana.
The Aguilars had been living in the United States undocumented but were eventually able to apply for U visas — special visas for people who are victims of serious crimes in the United States meant to encourage the undocumented community to feel comfortable coming forward to police. They’re now waiting on their permanent residency documents, which could take a few more years, they said.
In the meantime, they are prohibited from crossing into Mexico and re-entering the U.S.
Montesinos has several medical conditions, so the Aguilars were worried that they were running out of time to see her. Montesinos will turn 73 next week.
As they said goodbye and watched her slowly walk back to her wheelchair, both women wiped tears from their faces and hugged each other close.
When they began the hike back to their car, Carlos Quinto, 46, walked up with his wife and asked if Friendship Park had opened yet. He, too, had seen images online of families touching fingers through the fence.
He was there to see his 20-year-old son for the first time in seven years, he said. He’s also waiting on a green card from a U visa.
He walked down to the beach and stood in the gap where the secondary fence ends and orange cones delineate the edge of the enforcement zone. They tried to yell to each other, his son’s face pressed against the primary fence on the border line. Then they, too, pulled out their phones. Quinto wiped tears away from his face as they spoke.
“We miss Friendship Park a lot,” Quinto said in Spanish. “I want to cry out, to hug him. It’s difficult.”
Cecilia Ortiz, 47, visited the area in April to see her sisters and her mother, who is 88. Ortiz, too, is waiting in the process for a green card after applying for a U visa.
She traveled from Phoenix. Her family came from Saucillo, Chihuahua. Once they arrived at the edges of the park, they held a video call so that they could hear each other, she said. Because of her age, Ortiz’s mother couldn’t see well enough from that distance. They spent about four hours there, as close together as they could be.
“It feels bad to not be able to see them. If they make it taller, it’s terrible. For me, it’s not OK,” Ortiz said after learning about the wall construction project. “One only goes to see their family. There’s no reason to make it taller. We’ll hope that it doesn’t happen and that they open the park.”
A taller wall
Border wall construction has already replaced the original primary and secondary fences along much of the San Diego border.
The new 30-foot wall, visible on the hillside east of Friendship Park, dwarfs both of the older structures still in place closer to the ocean. A recent report from UC San Diego found that injuries and deaths from falls off the border wall have increased significantly since the taller structure went up.
For Rev. John Fanestil, executive director of Via International and member of Friends of Friendship Park, even if there are gates added to the project, the looming barriers will go against the spirit of the binational park.
“Joe Biden should not be completing Donald Trump’s border wall here in California,” Fanestil said.
He noted that Border Patrol has long tried to restrict access to the park. For years, the park would only open for a matter of hours on weekends. In 2018, the agency announced that families would have 30 minutes inside the park and that there couldn’t be more than 10 people at a time.
“We call it a ratcheting effect,” Fanestil said. “It’s one restriction after another, and those restrictions get piled on top of each other over time.”
Agents also used to periodically open a gate in not only the secondary fence, but the primary fence to allow family members to hug at the border in a highly publicized event. But that was shut down in 2018 after a U.S. citizen who couldn’t cross the border because of a drug smuggling conviction used the opening as an opportunity to get married to his Mexican fiancée.
The U.S.-Canada border, too, has a binational park in Blaine, Wash., where people from both sides can spend time together. There is no border wall.
However, Canada has kept its side of the park closed due to concerns about unvaccinated Americans in the ongoing pandemic.

Descendants of the last African people abducted into slavery and brought to America's shores gathered to pay tribute to their ancestors.
The relatives of the 110 people aboard the schooner Clotilda, the the last known slave ship to America, held a ceremony in Alabama to mark the anniversary of the landing of the vessel.
The discovery of the remnants of the Clotilda sparked renewed interest in the story.
Darron Patterson, president of the Clotilda Descendants Association, said the focus should be on the people, not the ship.

Predatory Sparrow: Who are the hackers who say they started a fire in Iran?
By Joe Tidy
Cyber reporter
- Published
It's extremely rare for hackers, who operate in the digital world, to cause damage in the physical world.
But a cyber-attack on a steel maker in Iran two weeks ago is being seen as one of those significant and troubling moments.
A hacking group called Predatory Sparrow said it was behind the attack, which it said caused a serious fire, and released a video to back up its story.
The video appears to be CCTV footage of the incident, showing factory workers leaving part of the plant before a machine starts spewing molten steel and fire. The video ends with people pouring water on the fire with hoses.
In another video that surfaced online, factory staff can be heard shouting for firefighters to be called and describing damage to equipment.
Predatory Sparrow, also known by its Persian name, Gonjeshke Darande, says this was one of three attacks it carried out against Iranian steel makers on 27 June, in response to unspecified acts of "aggression" carried out by the Islamic Republic.
The group has also started sharing gigabytes of data it claims to have stolen from the companies, including confidential emails.
On its Telegram page Predatory Sparrow posted: "These companies are subject to international sanctions and continue their operations despite the restrictions. These cyber-attacks, being carried out carefully to protect innocent individuals."
That last sentence has pricked the ears of the cyber-security world.
Clearly the hackers knew that they were potentially putting lives in danger, but it seems they were at pains to ensure the factory floor was empty before they launched their attack - and they were equally eager to make sure everyone knew how careful they had been.
This has led many to wonder whether Predatory Sparrow is a professional and tightly regulated team of state-sponsored military hackers, who may even be obliged to carry out risk assessments before they launch an operation.
"They claim themselves to be a group of hacktivists, but given their sophistication, and their high impact, we believe that the group is either operated, or sponsored by, a nation state," says Itay Cohen, head of cyber research at Check Point Software.
Iran has been the victim of a spate of recent cyber-attacks that have had an impact in the real world but nothing as serious as this.
"If this does turn out to be a state sponsored cyber-attack causing physical - or in the war studies jargon 'kinetic' damage - this could be hugely significant," says Emily Taylor Editor of the Cyber Policy Journal.
"Historically the Stuxnet attack on Iran's uranium enrichment facilities in 2010, has been highlighted as one of the few - if not the only known - example of a cyber-attack causing physical damage."
Stuxnet was a computer virus first discovered in 2010 that damaged or destroyed centrifuges at Iran's uranium enrichment facility in Natanz, hampering its nuclear programme.
Since then there have been very few confirmed cases of physical damage.
Possibly the only one came in 2014 in Germany. In the annual report of the German cyber authority it was stated that a cyber-attack caused "massive damage" to a steel factory, causing an emergency shutdown, but no further details have ever been given.
There have been other cyber-attacks that could have caused serious damage but didn't succeed. For example, hackers have tried but failed to add chemicals to the water supply by taking control of water treatment facilities.
It's more common for cyber-attacks to cause disruption - to transport networks for example - without causing real physical damage.
Emily Taylor says it's a significant distinction because if a state is proven to have caused physical damage to the Iranian steel factory it may have violated international laws prohibiting the use of force, and provided Iran with legal grounds to hit back.
So if Predatory Sparrow is a state-sponsored military hacking group, which country does it represent? Its name, a play on the name of the Iranian cyber-warfare group, Charming Kitten, could be a clue suggesting that it's a country with a strong interest in Iran.
The Stuxnet attack is widely thought to have been carried out by Israel, with support from the US. And this time the murmurings linking the Predatory Sparrow attack with Israel have been loud enough to prompt a response from the Israeli government.
According to Israeli media reports, defence minister Benny Gantz has ordered an investigation into leaks that led to Israeli journalists heavily hinting that Israel is behind the hack.
The minister is reportedly concerned that Israel's "ambiguity policy" on its operations against Iran might have been broken.
"If this cyber-attack is state-sponsored then of course Israel is the prime suspect. Iran and Israel are in a cyber-war, and officially both states acknowledge this," says Ersin Cahmutoglu from The Centre for Iranian Studies in Ankara.
"Both states mutually organise cyber-attacks through their intelligence services and everything has escalated since 2020 when retaliation came from Israel after Iran launched a failed cyber-attack on Israeli water infrastructure systems and attempted to interfere with the chlorine level."
In October last year Predatory Sparrow claimed responsibility for taking Iran's national fuel station payment system offline. The group also said it had been behind a hack that hijacked digital billboards on roads, making them display a message saying, "Khamenei, where is our fuel?" - a reference to the country's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Again, the hackers showed a degree of responsibility by warning Iran's emergency services in advance about the potential chaos that could result.
Check Point researchers say they have also found code in the malicious software used by Predatory Sparrow that matches code used by another group, called Indra, that hacked Iranian train station displays in July last year.
According to Iranian news reports, hackers indicated on information boards at stations across the country that trains were cancelled or delayed, and urged passengers to call the supreme leader.
But experts say the steel factory attack is a sign that the stakes are getting higher.
According to the CEO of Mobarakeh Steel Company, where the fire apparently took place, the plant's operations were not affected by the attack and no-one was hurt. The two other companies targeted also said they experienced no problems.
Narim Gharib, a UK-based opposition Iranian activist and independent cyber-espionage investigator, is convinced the video is genuine. He notes that two other videos of the fire were also posted on Twitter.
"The attack was real, as workers recorded video from another angle and we saw a statement posted on one company's Telegram channel regarding the suspension of the production line, which was later denied."
He fears a threshold has now been crossed.
"If Israel is behind these attacks, I think they are showing that they can do real damage rather than just disrupting a service. It shows how things can quickly escalate."

Elizabeth Hurley reveals her sweet nickname for former stepson Jackson Warne as she congratulates him on winning big at a poker tournament in his late father Shane's honour
She may have split from his father Shane Warne almost a decade ago, but Elizabeth Hurley still has a special place in her heart for her former stepson Jackson.
The British actress, 57, who dated the late cricketer from 2010 until 2013, revealed her sweet nickname for Jackson, 23, while congratulating him on winning big at a poker tournament in Las Vegas last week.
After announcing he'd won $83,900 at his first World Series of Poker main event, the reality star was flooded with well-wishes from friends and family on Instagram.

Liz commented, 'Well done, Cub xxx.' This nickname is a reference to Jackson's dad, whom she affectionately called 'Lion' or 'Lionheart'.
Jackson's mother Simone Callahan wrote: 'Awesome, friend! So happy and so proud of you!'
'Proud is an understatement, Jacko,' added his sister Brooke, while his girlfriend Kiah Broadsmith wrote: 'Couldn't be more proud of you.'

Jackson's girlfriend Kiah Broadsmith (right) also wrote: 'Couldn't be more proud of you'
Jackson made good on his vow to continue his late father's legacy by winning big at his first solo poker game since the leg spinner's death four months ago.
Shane, who was a keen poker player and would bring his son to tournaments around the world, died from a heart attack in March while on holiday in Thailand. He was 52.
His son reminisced last Tuesday about playing poker with the leg spinner four years ago at the Vegas World Series of Poker championships, before revealing he would be competing at the 2022 tournament in Shane's honour.
Shane was in a relationship with Liz from 2010 until 2013, and during that period the Bedazzled star formed a close relationship with his children. (Pictured: Shane and Liz with his children, Summer, Jackson and Brooke, and her son, Damian, in Melbourne on December 22, 2011)

'This trip four years ago,' the SAS Australia star captioned a photo on Instagram of Shane wearing a hoodie and sunglasses during their trip to Vegas in 2018.
He continued: 'This [coming] trip was meant to be the first time playing at the WSOP main event with my best friend and dad.
'Missing you so much and wish you were here playing with me. I'll make you proud and get the [money emoji].'

He has previously praised his father for introducing him to the world of poker.
'I've been playing poker since I was young and [Shane] taught me how to play because we've been on planes, you don't have much room on planes so you take a deck of cards and play,' he told Daily Mail Australia in 2020.

'I enjoy it now. I'm not professional, but one day, I'm trying to be,' he laughed.
Jackson's sisters Brooke, 25, and Summer, 20, shared their own tributes to their father last Monday as they marked four months since his death.
Brooke, who is in England, posted a childhood photo to Instagram of herself, Jackson and Summer posing with their dad on a family holiday.

'Four months today. Feels weird not being around you, especially overseas. You always made everyone's holiday the most enjoyable and special thing ever,' she wrote.
'No matter what we were doing we were always laughing and being silly. We miss you and your laughs and everything every day, dad.'

He was in a relationship with Liz from 2010 until 2013, and during that period the Bedazzled actress formed a close relationship with his children.
Shane is survived by his three children, Jackson, Summer and Brooke, from his marriage to former model Simone Callahan. (Shane and his children are pictured in February 2012)
The likes of Kylie Minogue, Hugh Jackman and Chris Martin paid tribute to Shane at his star-studded state memorial in late March.
Shane became a global star in 1993 by bowling out Mike Gatting with the so-called 'Ball of the Century' - his first ball in Ashes cricket.
He went on to get 708 test wickets, tormenting teams all over the world, especially Australia's great rival England.
Shane died on March 4 at the age of 52 while on holiday with his friends in Koh Samui, Thailand. He died from 'natural causes', an autopsy concluded.

Zendaya reveals she is planning on directing an episode of Euphoria Season 3
Zendaya is one of the biggest rising stars as an actress, but she also has aspirations behind the camera as well.
The 25-year-old actress was doing a Q&A session for Vogue Italia for her cover shoot, when a fan asked her when she was going to direct an episode of her HBO series Euphoria.
The Oakland native revealed she was actually supposed to direct an episode in Season 2, but she didn't have enough time to prepare.

'It’s funny. I was actually supposed to direct episode 6, but then I had to act in it,” Zendaya shared.
'I didn’t have enough time, so unfortunately, I wasn’t able to this time around. I wanted to have enough time to do it the right way,' she added.
'So, next season probably,' she said.

HBO renewed Euphoria for a third season back in February, just weeks before the Season 2 finale at the end of that month.
Euphoria's season two premiere episode debuted as the most viewed episode of an HBO series ever on HBO Max, currently with more than 14 million viewers across platforms.
That figure was more than double the average audience of Season 1 (6.6 million viewers per episode).

Worst airports for flight delays revealed
Birmingham Airport was the worst in the UK for flight delays last year, an investigation has found.
Departures from the West Midlands airport were an average of 12 minutes and 24 seconds late taking-off in 2021, according to analysis of Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) data by the PA news agency.
Southampton Airport had the second poorest record, followed by Heathrow, Exeter and Aberdeen airports.
The ranking takes into account all scheduled and chartered departures.
Cancelled flights are not included.
Birmingham Airport stressed that many of its delayed departures were able to make up time in the air because of the huge reduction in flight numbers due to the coronavirus pandemic.
A spokesman said: “Last year was a dark time for aviation when Birmingham Airport was reduced to just 25% of normal resource and capacity due to Covid.
“Due to the unique operating environment caused by massive air traffic reductions, the usual pressures did not exist, so flights taking off late were able to catch up en route.”
Birmingham is the UK’s seventh busiest airport, serving long-haul destinations including Dubai, Mexico, the Caribbean and the US, as well as more than 100 short-haul routes.
It hosts bases for airlines such as Jet2.com, Ryanair and Tui Airways.
The BBC recently reported that the annual wage of the airport’s chief executive Nick Barton rose by 49% from £399,000 to £595,000 last year.
This angered trade unions as it came after widespread job cuts due to the pandemic, but the airport – which is part-owned by several of the region’s councils – insisted its senior management is paid in line with market rates.
The airport was used by 12.6 million passengers in 2019, before the pandemic, but just 2.5 million last year.
Punctuality across all UK airports in 2021 was better than before the virus crisis, due to the reduction in flights caused by travel restrictions.
Jo Rhodes, an expert for consumer magazine Which? Travel, said 2022 “has been a different story entirely” as the sector is struggling to cope with the spike in passenger numbers.
She went on: “Holidaymakers have endured wide-scale flight cancellations as well as unacceptably long queues at check-in, bag drop and airport security.
“The Government must take action to restore consumer confidence in travel.
“That should involve stronger powers for the CAA, including the ability to fine airlines directly when they break the law.
“Ministers should also drop their ill-conceived plans to slash compensation rates for delayed or cancelled domestic flights.”
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps published a 22-point plan to tackle flight disruption last month.This included encouraging airlines to make sure their schedule are “deliverable”, an amnesty on airport slot rules and permitting new aviation workers to begin training before passing security checks.
The Government is analysing feedback after consulting on reforms such as increasing the CAA’s enforcement powers and amending compensation rules for domestic flights.
Airlines such as British Airways and easyJet have cancelled thousands of flights in recent weeks amid fears that chaotic scenes at airports will return during the peak school holiday season.
Schools in Scotland and Northern Ireland have already broken up for summer, while the academic year for those in England and Wales ends in around a fortnight. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-11000693/Worst-airports-flight-delays-revealed.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-07-11T00:39:25Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-11000693/Worst-airports-flight-delays-revealed.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false |

Four movies in, Thor is still bringing the hammer down at the box office.
“ Thor: Love and Thunder ” earned $143 million in its opening weekend in North America, according to studio estimates Sunday. It’s a franchise best for the God of Thunder and another success story of the summer 2022 box office season.
The second Thor movie directed by Taika Waititi opened on 4,375 screens this weekend, starting with Thursday previews. It easily topped the box office, bumping “Minions: The Rise of Gru” into second place. Including international showings, where “Love and Thunder” opened in 47 territories starting in the middle of last week, its global total is already at $302 million.
The Thor franchise has grown with each subsequent film, which is both a rarity in franchise filmmaking in general but also not uncommon for those of the Marvel variety. The first film opened to $65.7 million in 2011, followed by $85.7 million for “The Dark World” in 2013 and $122.7 million for 2017’s “Ragnarok.” Waititi, who also directed “Ragnarok,” is widely credited with rejuvenating the series, infusing it with humor, irreverence and leaning into larger-than-life metal aesthetics.
Audiences were heavily male (60%) and 53% were between the ages of 18 and 34, according to exit polls.
“Love and Thunder” brings back Chris Hemsworth, Tessa Thompson and Natalie Portman, whose Jane Foster becomes the Mighty Thor. Russell Crowe also co-stars as Zeus and Christian Bale plays the villain Gorr the God Butcher. It also boasts the biggest production budget of the Thor films, at a reported $250 million.
And yet, it’s noteworthy that “Thor: Love and Thunder” isn’t even the biggest Marvel opening of the year. That title is held by “ Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, ” which debuted to $185 million in early May on the heels of the box office phenomenon that was “Spider-Man: No Way Home.”
The Minions carved out a second-place spot with $45.6 million in weekend two, bringing its domestic total to $210.1 million and its worldwide grosses to $399.9 million.
The summer’s workhorse “Top Gun: Maverick” placed third in its seventh weekend in theaters with $15.5 million. With its domestic total currently at $597.4 million, the Tom Cruise film is poised to cross $600 million by Monday — one of only 12 films ever to do so.

PHOENIX (AP) — Connor Joe drove in the go-ahead run with a two-out single off All-Star Joe Mantiply in the seventh inning, and the Colorado Rockies rallied to beat Arizona 3-2 on Sunday and take three of four from the Diamondbacks for a rare road series win.
Colorado took advantage of third baseman Josh Rojas' throwing error on a potential-inning-ending, double-play grounder to score three unearned runs in the seventh and overcome a 2-0 deficit.
The Rockies arrived in the desert with a major league-worst 12-26 road record, a contrast to their 23-21 mark at mile-high Coors Field in Denver. The Rockies won a road series for just the fourth time this year.
Ryan McMahon singled off Keynan Middleton (1-2) with one-out in the seventh, and Yonathon Daza hit a grounder to third. Rojas' throw in the dirt bouced off the glove of Sergio Alcántara at second and skipped into right field, putting runners at the corners.
Keynan Middleton (1-2) struck out Brian Serven, then allowed Garrett Hampson's two-run double off the base of the left-center wall.
Mantiply, told before the game he was picked as a first-time All-Star, entered and got ahead of Joe 0-2, then gave up a lined single to left on a inside fastball.
Germán Márquez (5-7) allowed three hits and two walks in seven innings with four strikeouts. He retired 12 straight between Ketel Marte’s two-out homer in the first and Alcantara’s two-out single in the fifth.
Arizona got another run in the sixth after José Herrera walked leading off and took third on Rojas' single. Alek Thomas then hit a grounder to Joe at first. Rather than check the runner immediately, he turned to throw to second, looked to third, then threw to second for the forceout as Herrera scored.
Daniel Bard got three straight outs for his 18th save in 20 chances.
ROAD WOES
Colorado had a two-game sweep at Texas on April 11-12 and took two of three at Detroit on April 23-24 and at San Francisco from June 7-9. Colorado has lost eight road series and split one. The Rockies won a four-game series at Arizoa for the first time. They had lost five series at the Diamondbacks since a three-game sweep in 2020.
WEB GEMS
Each Arizona outfielder made an outstanding catch. Thomas made a leaping catch at the wall in center to take an extra-base hit away from Joe leading off the game. Later in the inning, with two on, Daulton Varsho made a sliding catch in the right-field corner to rob Brendan Rodgers. Left fielder David Peralta robbed MaMahon of a home run in the second.
Colorado's Daza also made a fine running catch on Rojas’ drive to left-center leading off the home first.
FIRST-TIME ALL-STAR
Rockies first baseman C.J. Cron, another first-time All-Star, didn't play for the second straight day after being hit by a pitch on his left wrist in Friday’s game. Cron is hitting .295 with 20 home runs and 66 RBIs. Cron had played in every game this season before the injury.
MOVES
The Diamondbacks recalled RHP Edwin Uceta from Triple-A Reno. RHP Sean Poppen was optioned to to Reno after Saturday’s game.
HOT
Rojas hit .478 (11 for 23) during the seven-game homestand with five doubles, a homer and eight RBIs.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Rockies: Manager Bud Black said Cron and SS Jose Iglesias were better and may play Monday.
UP NEXT
Colorado: RHP Jose Urena (0-0, 2.51) starts against the Padres’ Sean Manaea (3-4, 4.18) in the first of four games at Coors Field.
Arizona: RHP Merrill Kelly (7-5, 3.42) opposes RHP Alex Cobb (3-3, 4.74) in the opener of a three-game series at San Francisco.

Rarely have the conditions for love been less hospitable than in Sara Dosa’s documentary “Fire of Love." Yet here, amid shifting tectonics and quaking craters, French volcanologists Katia and Maurice Krafft forge a strangely rock-steady romance.
“Fire of Love," excavates their unique story, and the jaw-dropping footage the Kraffts left behind, in a film exploding with awe for the mysterious alchemies of love and obsession.
The Kraffts were prominent scientists in the ‘70s and ‘80s whose passion and occasional red knit hats made them a bit like the Cousteaus of the volcano world. Like that underwater explorer, the Kraffts also picked up filmmaking to chronicle their investigations — which often drew them, like moths to the flame, perilously close to not-at-all-dormant volcanoes. They died in 1991 in a cascading gray cloud on Japan's Mount Unzen, leaving behind hundreds of hours of footage, and as narrator Miranda July says early in the film, a million questions.
Maurice, a gregarious geologist, and Katia, a more reserved geochemist, were brought together by their mutual infatuation for volcanoes. After marrying, they decided not to have children and instead dedicated themselves to being, as Maurice terms it, “volcano runners." They travel from active volcano to active volcano, living according to the Earth's rhythms. With a wry smile, they confess many of their colleagues view them as weirdos.
People are also reading…
“If I could eat rocks, I’d stay on the volcano and never come down," Maurice says proudly in one TV interview.
Dosa uses July's narration to frame the Kraffts' story with a playful sense of wonder and whimsy — a sometimes overly intrusive, too neatly packaged device in a film where what's on screen is so overwhelmingly powerful that it might not need the extra layer.
Again and again, we see the couple traversing charred alien landscapes with geysers of spewing lava. Their protective outfits are a little nutty, too, like props from an old science-fiction film or something left over from the henchmen of a Bond villain. But with rivers of red all around, they are almost at play — wild silhouettes dancing on the precipice. When set to Brian Eno's beguiling “The Big Ship,” the imagery isn't hellish but heavenly.
On one volcano, Maurice fries an egg on the hot ground. On another, he paddles an inflatable raft over a steaming lake of acid. Katia objects to that gambit but they are resolutely inseparable. Still, if “Fire of Love” is principally a love story, the chemistry we see between them isn't the sort that makes you swoon. It's easy to wonder if what binds them together isn't so much love as mutual obsession. They both burn with a red-hot desire less for each other than to be as close to the volcano as possible. Are they chasing life, or death? Maurice calls it “a kamikaze existence."
But what's unknowable is also at the heart of “Fire of Love,” a movie about two people not afraid but intoxicated by forces far larger than they are. Katia and Maurice are, she says, “like flies in a saucepan that’s boiling over.” And it's their contagious sense of awe for nature that keeps the flames of “Fire of Love” smoldering.
“Fire of Love,” a Neon release, is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America for thematic material including some unsettling images, and brief smoking. Running time: 93 minutes. Three stars out of four. | https://www.nwitimes.com/in-fire-of-love-the-mysterious-alchemy-of-romance/article_828d8b4d-d06b-5914-99af-dcb0d2388dd5.html | 2022-07-11T00:42:17Z | https://www.nwitimes.com/in-fire-of-love-the-mysterious-alchemy-of-romance/article_828d8b4d-d06b-5914-99af-dcb0d2388dd5.html | false |

BEIJING (AP) — A large crowd of angry Chinese bank depositors faced off with police Sunday, some roughed up as they were taken away, in a case that has drawn attention because of earlier attempts to use a COVID-19 tracking app to prevent them from mobilizing.
Hundreds of people held up banners and chanted slogans on the wide steps of the entrance to a branch of China’s central bank in the city of Zhengzhou in Henan province, about 620 kilometers (380 miles) southwest of Beijing. Video taken by a protester shows plainclothes security teams being pelted with water bottles and other objects as they charge the crowd.
Later videos posted on social media show an unclear number of protesters being shoved forward individually and down stairs by security teams dressed in plain white or black T-shirts. Phone calls to Zhengzhou city and Henan province police rang unanswered.
The protesters are among thousands of customers who opened accounts at six rural banks in Henan and neighboring Anhui province that offered higher interest rates. They later found they could not withdraw their funds after media reports that the head of the banks’ parent company was on the run and wanted for financial crimes.
“We came today and wanted to get our savings back, because I have elderly people and children at home, and the inability to withdraw savings has seriously affected my life,” said a woman from Shandong province, who only gave her last name, Zhang, out of fear of retribution.
What had been a local scandal became a national incident last month because of the misuse of the COVID-19 tracking app. Many who set out for Zhengzhou to demand action from regulators found that their health status on the app had turned red, preventing them from traveling. Some reported being questioned by police after checking into their hotel about why they had come to the city. Five Zhengzhou officials were later punished.
The protesters assembled before dawn on Sunday in front of the People’s Bank of China building in Zhengzhou. Police vehicles with flashing lights can be seen in videos taken in the early morning darkness. Police closed off the street and by 8 a.m. had started massing on the other side, Zhang said.
Besides uniformed police, there were the teams of men in plain T-shirts. A banking regulator and a local government official arrived, but their attempts to talk to the crowd were shouted down. Zhang and another protester, a man from Beijing surnamed Yang, told the AP the protesters had heard from the officials before and don’t believe what they say. Yang declined to be identified by his full name, fearing pressure from authorities.
The police then announced to the protesters from a vehicle with a megaphone that they were an illegal assembly and would be detained and fined if they didn’t leave. Around 10 a.m., the men in T-shirts rushed the crowd and dispersed them. Zhang said she saw women dragged down the stairs of the bank entrance.
Zhang herself was hit, and said she asked the officer, “Why did you hit me?” According to her, he responded: “What’s wrong with beating you?”
Yang said he was hit by two security officers including one who had fallen off the stairs and mistakenly thought in the chaos that Yang had hit or pushed him.
“Although repeated protests and demonstrations don’t necessarily have a big impact, I think it is still helpful if more people get to know about us, and understand or sympathize with us,” Yang said. “Each time you do it, you might make a difference. Although you will get hit, they can’t really do anything to you, right?”
The protesters were bused to various sites where Zhang said they were forced to sign a letter guaranteeing they would not gather anymore.
Late Sunday, Henan banking regulators posted a short notice on their website saying that authorities are speeding up the verification of customer funds in four of the banks and the formulation of a plan to resolve the situation to protect the rights and interests of the public.

While Julien BriseBois knows exactly how confident he is about the possibility of re-signing playoff performer Ondrej Palat and veteran defenseman Jan Rutta, he’s not saying.
“Still working on that,” the two-time Stanley Cup-winning general manager of the Tampa Bay Lightning said. “Too early to tell.”
He’s also right that it’s too early to tell exactly what NHL free agency will look like when it begins Wednesday. Colorado, which beat Tampa Bay in the Cup Final, is looking to sign postseason standout Valeri Nichushkin among a group of potential free agents, and others such as Calgary MVP candidate Johnny Gaudreau, Pittsburgh center Evgeni Malkin and Florida trade deadline pickup Claude Giroux could all get new deals to stay rather than hitting the open market.
“It’s not July 13 yet,” BriseBois said. “Those guys may all be signed by then.”
A big star re-upping with his team has already happened a couple of times: the Pittsburgh Penguins signed veteran defenseman Kris Letang for six years and the Nashville Predators signed high-scoring winger Filip Forsberg for eight. Teams have until midnight EDT Tuesday — 12 hours before free agency begins — to get the maximum benefit of signing players for eight years, after which they can only get up to seven.
Still, even that timeline feels like a lifetime away in the hockey world, especially with the bulk of the offseason condensed into less than three weeks.
“We’ve got some time,” Avalanche general manager Joe Sakic said about discussions with several pending free agents. “We know we’re not going to be able to sign everybody. We know that. But we’ve got our priority and then we’ll see. I think some players will test the market and see what’s out there for them and see if they want to come back, but time will tell.”
The Avalanche have not only Nichushkin but center Nazem Kadri, forwards Andre Burakovsky, Darren Helm and Nico Sturm and defensemen Josh Manson, Jack Johnson and Ryan Murray set to be unrestricted free agents if they don’t re-sign.
Kadri seems the most likely out the door for a big payday after a career year and breakout playoffs, though that would give Colorado some space to take care of other players.
“I think we’re in the ballpark with some of the guys,” Sakic said. “I’m not going to go into details with who, but we’re hopeful we’ll be able to make an announcement and not have all of them go to the market on Wednesday.”
Calgary GM Brad Treliving expressed the same optimism about Gaudreau, who set career highs with 40 goals, 75 assists and 115 points and finished fourth in Hart Trophy voting as the league’s most valuable player. He said these things take time and pointed out Gaudreau isn’t the first or last top player to go un-signed until the final days between free agency and talks continue.
“You look at all the options, but our focus is on Plan A, and until such time as Plan A’s not a reality, we’ll focus on that,” Treliving said. “The only focus is trying to get him signed, and we’ll continue working at that end.”
The same appears to be the case for the Panthers and Giroux, the longtime captain of the Philadelphia Flyers they acquired at the trade deadline. The Boston Bruins are also waiting to hear from their longtime captain, Patrice Bergeron, who’s expected to only play for them if he returns for a 19th season.
“He’s made real good indications to us that he’s trending in the right manner, but until he makes that proclamation, we’ll wait,” Bruins GM Don Sweeney said.
Some teams can’t afford to wait until Wednesday to make moves because they need to clear salary cap space before then. After a weekend of goaltender musical chairs at the draft and more coming on that front, Minnesota GM Bill Guerin figures the league will be buzzing with activity before free agency.
“You could definitely see it,” Guerin said. “Teams are doing everything in their power to get cap space, so I could see a lot.”

It is Kunieda’s 28th Grand Slam title overall but he had only reached one Wimbledon final in four previous appearances, finishing as runner-up in 2019.
He is the first men’s wheelchair player to complete a career Grand Slam, and now holds all four major titles at the same time after winning this year’s Australian Open and French Open, as well as last year’s U.S. Open.
Hewett was looking for his sixth Grand Slam title and first at Wimbledon. He also lost in the final to Kunieda at last year’s U.S. Open and this year’s Australian Open.

Sikhs in Australia demand immunity to law requiring them to wear helmets on a motorbike - so they can freely express their religion while riding
- Singhs Social Motorcycle Club are pushing for helmets to be made exempt
- They say they want to wear their turbans as they are a symbol of freedom
- New Zealand allows helmets to be exempt for speeds of up to 50km/hour
- Sikhs say it would be a personal choice to wear the helmet or not while riding
A Sikh motorcycle club is pushing for helmets to be made exempt for riders so they won't have to remove their turbans before getting on their bikes.
The Sydney-based Singhs Social Motorcycle Club, which has 30 members, is hoping an exemption could be made for religious reasons.
One of the club's founders, Mavleen Singh Dhir, 37, said the push was bigger than just wanting riders to go helmet-free.
'Turbans are a symbol of freedom and equality in our religion,' he told Daily Mail Australia.
The Sydney-based Singhs Social Motorcycle Club, which has 30 members, is hoping an exemption could be made under religious reasons so riders can wear their turbans without having to wear a helmet
Sikhs can ride a motorbike without a helmet in New Zealand if they travel no more than 50km/h.
When asked if his club had a set speed in mind for helmets to be exempt, Mr Dhir said it would be impossible to have police monitoring how fast every turbaned rider was going.
'However, inexperienced drivers should not be given these freedoms,' he said.
'L-platers and P-platers shouldn't be given the exemption.'
One of the founders of the club, Mavleen Singh Dhir, 37, said the push was bigger than just wanting riders to go helmet-free
Mr Dhir said it took up to 15 minutes to put the turban on correctly
Mr Dhir stressed that not wearing a helmet would be a 'personal choice'.
'It's an option, not a mandate,' he said.
'Can any helmet company guarantee they won't stop serious injury or death? It's a freedom of choice and citizens should be trusted with what they're doing.'
The group are hoping Sikh riders will be exempt from having to wear helmets
The group recently rode down to Canberra where they spoke about the Sikh contribution to World War I
He said it takes up to 15 minutes to put the turban on, which has six metres of fabric.
'We are pushing for this not just for the motorcycles. It's more to do with freedom of choice,' he said, adding that Sikh soldiers in Gallipoli didn't wear helmets.
'When I'm wearing that turban, I have that sense of responsibility, it won't allow me to do anything wrong. I have to treat everyone equal.'
The Australian chapter of the SSMC was founded in April last year.
Since then, the group has dedicated themselves to supporting the community by helping those affected by floods and feeding the homeless.
They've also worked to raise awareness about endangered animals such as koalas, while they recently organised a ride to Canberra to speak about the contribution of Sikhs in World War I.
Mr Dhir isn't alone in wanting turban riders to choose to wear a helmet or not.
Amar Singh, the president of Turbans 4 Australia, said he was one of many Sikhs who felt discriminated by laws in NSW making helmets compulsory for motorcyclists.
The group has about 30 members since it was founded in April last year
'It is a bit upsetting that I can't ride my motorbike. I love riding bikes. I used to ride them a lot overseas,' the transport manager told Daily Mail Australia in 2019.
He also said compulsory hard hats on construction sites was another issue for the Sikh community.
'I'm not in favour of breaking any laws, which is why I've chosen not to ride my bike,' the president of Turbans 4 Australia said.
'But the Government should be fairer to the people of the Sikh community and allow us to be exempted from helmet and hard hat laws.
'Wearing the turban is a matter of faith and being Australian is about being fair for everyone else.'
Sikhs who have resorted to removing their turban to wear a hard hat say the process takes about 10-15 minutes.
'Your hair is often all over the place. Productivity loss is a big thing,' Mr Singh said.
Sikhs do not cut their hair as a sign of respect for God and the turban is referred to a 'special crown'.
Meanwhile, for bicycle riders in Victoria, the ACT, Western Australia, Queensland and South Australia, people can be exempt from wearing a helmet under religious reasons.
NSW offers no exemptions for helmets on push bikes, while in the Northern Territory, the head coverings are only mandatory for adults on roads. Those aged 17 and under must wear them on footpaths and in other public places.
Mr Dhir said the decision not to wear a helmet would be a 'personal choice' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10993789/NSW-Sikh-motorcycle-club-pushing-helmets-exempt-wear-turbans.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-07-11T00:51:08Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10993789/NSW-Sikh-motorcycle-club-pushing-helmets-exempt-wear-turbans.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true |

By HOWARD FENDRICH
AP Tennis Writer
WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Wearing a backward cap with the brim bent skyward, Nick Kyrgios hit a between-the-legs shot while warming up for the Wimbledon final against Novak Djokovic.
Kyrgios was just getting started. Once play began, he tried an underarm serve. He conjured up a pair on-the-run, back-to-the-net ‘tweeners on consecutive points, one a passing shot, one a lob. And for one full set Sunday, in the biggest match of his life, on one of the most famous courts in the world, at as prestigious tournament as there is, against one of the greatest players in tennis history, Kyrgios played brilliantly.
Oh, did he ever: Seven aces, 14 winners, just four unforced errors. Completely composed. No distractions. Talk about meeting the moment.
“I felt,” Kyrgios would say later, “like I belonged, to be honest.”
For a set, anyway. Then, as so often happens, he allowed little things to bother him. He let his opponent gain the upper hand. He began berating himself. And so, ultimately, Kyrgios saw his early lead vanish in what would become a 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (3) loss to Djokovic at the All England Club.
This was the 32nd Grand Slam final for the top-seeded Djokovic — he’s won 21 such titles, including seven at Wimbledon — and the first for the unseeded Kyrgios.
“You cannot prepare (for a) match against Nick Kyrgios,” said Djokovic’s coach, 2001 Wimbledon champion Goran Ivanisevic. “Nick Kyrgios is a genius, tennis genius.”
The 27-year-old Australian is ranked 40th and hadn’t even been to a major quarterfinal in 7 1/2 years. Hasn’t won a tour-level title since 2019. But he did not perform that way at the start.
“I felt like the trophy was definitely attainable today,” said Kyrgios, who pounded 30 aces.
He generates as much — OK, let’s be honest, more — attention for his attitude and behavior, on and off the court, as he does for his considerable talent.
Most seriously, word came during Wimbledon that Kyrgios is supposed to be in court back home in Australia next month to face an assault allegation.
He spat in the direction of a heckling spectator during one match this fortnight. He got in trouble for cursing during another — and again on Sunday.
Once his advantage on the scoreboard began to dwindle, and after he lost one return game after being up love-40, and one service game after being up 40-love Kyrgios began talking to the people in his guest box, which included his father and his girlfriend ( but no coach, because he doesn’t have one ). He would yell in that direction. Or motion dismissively. He threw a water bottle.
The chair umpire heard a lot from Kyrgios, too, such as a complaint that a woman he thought had been drinking was talking to him during the match.
“I mean, look, I’ve been on a couple nights out in my life,” Kyrgios said at his news conference, “and I knew that she had too many.”
There were those who have wondered during his career whether Kyrgios would ever be able to harness his tremendous skills and make it to the final weekend of a major tournament. The ability has long been there; that’s why he was 2-0 against Djokovic before Sunday, and also has victories over Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer.
“Everything is starting to come together for you,” Djokovic told Kyrgios during the trophy ceremony at Centre Court.
“It’s tough to find consolation words after a tough loss like this, but you showed why you deserve to be one of the best players in the world, particularly on this surface,” Djokovic said. “I wish you all the best. I really respect you a lot.”
Kyrgios said he found the past two weeks stressful. The attention — and comments — on social media. And since learning he would be participating in a Grand Slam final after Nadal withdrew Thursday from the semifinals with an abdominal injury, Kyrgios couldn’t sleep at night.
He said about 1 1/2 months ago, he was playing basketball with some pals in Australia and told one of them: “Look, I think I’m going to have some fun and maybe win Wimbledon.”
Came so close.
“I look back at it,” Kyrgios said, “and I’m just like, ‘How am I here?’”

Taylor Hawkins’ son Shane honored his late father with a special performance. Over the Fourth of July holiday weekend, the 16-year-old joined the local band, The Alive, and played the drums during a performance of the Foo Fighter’s hit song, “My Hero.”
In a TikTok video, posted on July 7, by user Lagtownsfinest, the 16-year-old joins the band during a block party in Laguna Beach. “When Taylor Hawkins son gets on the drums and dedicates the song “My Hero” to his dad,” the caption over the video read.
The camera then zooms in on the teen, who sits behind a brown drum set and bangs out the song’s iconic intro, which was made popular by his father’s opening drum solo. The video ends when a member of The Alive begins to sing the tune.
@lagtownsfinest The hawk wouldve been proud 🦅 #taylorhawkins#foofighters#fyp♬ original sound - Lagtownsfinest
The Alive also gave the young drummer a shout-out on their Instagram. “July 4 Thanks to the Laguna Beach community, police (for not shutting us down) , @spliffriff_ and the @marcusskenderian family. Special thanks to @shane_hawkins_22 for sitting in💥,” the caption next to the video read.
Per Variety, The Alive has previously opened up for Taylor’s cover band, Chevy Metal, and for the Foo Fighters during Lollapalooza, one week before the drummer’s death.
Taylor died at the age of 50 on March 26, in a hotel in Bogotá, Colombia, while the Foo Fighters were on tour. In June, the Foo Fighters, along with the Hawkins family, announced a series of tribute shows that will be held in Taylor’s honor.
Dave Grohl, Nate Mendel, Chris Shiflett, Pat Smear and Rami Jaffee will take the stage in September for two Taylor Hawkins tribute concerts. The first show will take place on Sept. 3 at London's Wembley Stadium and the second is set for Sept. 27 at The Kia Forum in Los Angeles.
The shows "will unite several" artists whom Hawkins idolized along with "the Hawkins family and of course his Foo Fighters brothers in celebration of Taylor’s memory and his legacy as a global rock icon," a press release for the concerts explained. "His bandmates and his inspirations playing the songs that he fell in love with, and the ones he brought to life."

James Carville’s recent letter is a welcome, bell-ringing call to action. His move to this city in 2008 vindicated my own of years before, and like him, I can’t imagine living anywhere else.
Regarding denial, we must face the reality that New Orleans needs to produce better jobs, or as Carville might say, “It’s the economy stupid.”
Many here are living on “gigs” mostly tied to tourism. Fortunately for the Carvilles, they have good gigs, well-earned to be sure. Few here are as fortunate. Serious attention needs to be focused in this direction.
As for finger-pointing, one can not help but notice that every parishwide Orleans elected official is, like Carville, a proud Democrat. Unlike at the national level, it is hard to rail against Republicans for messing things up.
The above said, the Carvilles were and are a great addition to this city, far greater than most of the Hollywood characters with crash pads here. I hope we can step up to their vision.

HIGHLAND PARK, Ill. (AP) — A business district that had been blocked since a July 4 parade mass shooting that left seven people dead reopened Sunday morning in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park.
The 2-block by 3-block area consists largely of small shops and restaurants. It had been blocked off with crime scene tape, barricades and uniformed officers since Monday as the FBI and other law enforcement agencies processed evidence.
The street was generally quiet shortly after police removed the barricades, except for news media vehicles, a few other vehicles and people walking.
“We came out at 5:30 this morning. It was open,” said Dale Miller, 70, who said was walking his dog, Milo, near where the shooting occurred. “This is our first walk of the day.”
He said he did not attend the parade this year but lives about 100 yards (91 meters) away and heard the gunshots, though he didn’t realize what they were until his brother called him from Florida in a panic.
“We just have fireworks going off here, that’s all,” Miller said he told his brother. “So the fireworks weren’t fireworks.”
He got many other calls after word spread about the shooting, including one from his daughter, a teacher in Florida.
“She called me up in tears and said ‘I’ve lost my safe haven,’” Miller recounted. “‘Highland Park was always the one place I could go where I was safe and that’s taken away.’”
Not all businesses were reopening Sunday. Janice Bruksch, who owns a gelato shop along the stretch of road where the shooting occurred, told WBBM-TV that she plans to reopen Sweet Home Gelato on Tuesday and to offer free scoops to first responders and children.
“Just to bring some kind of happiness in any way — so a little kid comes in here and gets a free gelato, smiles and walks out, and doesn’t think about that day,” Bruksch said. “That’s great.”
The reopening of the business district comes two days after funerals started for the seven people who were killed in the shooting. Authorities said the attacker fired more than 80 rounds into the parade crowd with a semi-automatic rifle.
Robert E. Crimo III, 21, has been charged with seven counts of first-degree murder. Prosecutors expect to bring more charges representing the more than 30 people who were wounded in the attack.
Investigators say Crimo, of neighboring Highwood, legally purchased five weapons and planned the attack for weeks before he climbed onto the roof of a business along the parade route and opened fire.
Authorities say Crimo fled the parade by blending in with the fleeing crowd, then drove to the Madison, Wisconsin, area, where he contemplated a second attack. He returned to the Highland Park area and his car was spotted by police.
Questions remain about whether Crimo should have been able to legally purchase firearms in Illinois. Illinois State Police officials have defended the approval of his gun license in December 2019, months after police received reports that he had made suicidal and violent threats.
Miller expressed hope Highland Park will recover.
“It’s a very close-knit city and it’s a city that is really hurting right now, but is not even remotely destroyed,” he said. | https://www.cenlanow.com/national/business-area-opens-for-1st-time-since-july-4-parade-attack/ | 2022-07-11T01:29:59Z | https://www.cenlanow.com/national/business-area-opens-for-1st-time-since-july-4-parade-attack/ | true |
CHICAGO (AP) — Brittney Griner was everywhere Sunday — before, during and after the WNBA All-Star Game.
Everywhere except where the league’s best players felt she should be — playing alongside them on the court.
A’ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart and the rest of the WNBA All-Stars wore Griner’s name and her No. 42 on the back of their jerseys for the second half of Team Wilson’s 134-112 victory over Team Stewart. It was another moment in the league’s continued push for Griner’s release from her detention in Russia.
“BG’s one of us. She’s our sister,” Wilson said, “and at the end of the day, we’re going to do whatever we can to amplify the platform that we have to make sure that everyone is doing what they need to do to make sure that she gets home safely.”
Griner, 31, has been detained since February after police at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport said they found vape canisters containing cannabis oil in her luggage. The eight-time All-Star pleaded guilty Thursday to drug possession charges that could see a sentence of to up to 10 years in prison.
Griner was announced as an honorary All-Star starter before Sunday’s game, drawing cheers from the crowd of 9,572 at the home of the defending champion Sky. The players lined up along the sideline to show off their Griner jerseys before the start of the second half.
Team Wilson guards Sabrina Ionescu and Courtney Vandersloot hugged Cherelle Griner, Brittney’s wife, before play resumed.
“We just wanted to make sure at some point that we were able to, on national television, obviously in front of a (big) crowd, put Brittney’s name in the forefront,” Seattle Storm guard Sue Bird said. “That was our way of honoring her.”
It was the last All-Star Game for Bird and Sylvia Fowles, two pillars of the league who plan to retire after this season. Fowles had the day’s biggest highlight, picking up a steal and throwing down a dunk for Team Wilson with 4:04 left in the first half.
“It was just in the moment,” Fowles said. “I didn’t really think about it.”
Bird received a huge ovation when she checked out with 2:10 left, and acknowledged the cheers with a wave.
“That moment was really special,” Bird said.
Las Vegas aces guard Kelsey Plum was named MVP after she scored 30 points for Team Wilson in her first All-Star appearance. Sabrina Ionescu had 19 points, six assists and six rebounds, and Chicago Sky forward Candace Parker finished with 15 points and eight boards.
Plum matched the league’s All-Star Game scoring record. Maya Moore also scored 30 points in 2015.
“What a way to send off Syl and Sue,” Plum said. “I think for me, I just personally wanted to go out and have a ton of fun.”
Jonquel Jones, the reigning WNBA MVP who plays for the Connecticut Sun, had 29 points and 13 rebounds for Team Stewart. Jones also made the game’s first 4-point shot with 7:04 left in the first quarter.
“I practiced them yesterday and shot it a lot in the warmups,” Jones said. “I felt comfortable and confident shooting them.”
It was the first WNBA All-Star Game in Chicago, and the league landed in the Windy City at perhaps its strongest position since it began play in 1997. Viewership is up, some major corporate partners have signed on and a wave of promising young stars like Wilson, Ionescu and Plum are moving to the forefront.
Commissioner Cathy Engelbert announced this year’s WNBA Finals teams will travel on charter flights, and the league is increasing its postseason bonus pools by almost 50% to $500,000. Next season will be extended to 40 games, up from 36 this year, and Engelbert said the league has been meeting with potential ownership groups for expansion teams.

“We continue to work really hard on the transformation of the business to improve the player experience,” Engelbert said.
Engelbert also is doing whatever she can to help Griner and her family. Griner’s guilty plea could be an effort by her and her advisers to expedite the court proceedings.
“She remains a huge priority for us, continues to have our full support,” Engelbert said. “Fully focused on getting her home safely and as soon as possible.” | https://www.kron4.com/news/national/griners-name-permeates-wnba-all-star-game-team-wilson-wins/ | 2022-07-11T01:31:02Z | https://www.kron4.com/news/national/griners-name-permeates-wnba-all-star-game-team-wilson-wins/ | false |
NICHOLASVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Trey Mullinax won the rain-delayed Barbasol Championship on Sunday for his first PGA Tour title, holing a 15-foot putt from the edge of the 18th green to beat Kevin Streelman by a stroke.
The 30-year-old Mullinax followed the breakthrough putt with a celebratory fist pump and scream. He played 33 holes Sunday, competing a 5-under 67 in the delayed third round and following with a 66 to finish at 25-under 263.
“I stayed focused for 72 holes,” Mullinax said. “I missed a couple of opportunities with the putter and just told myself to keep putting, been putting great. Been hitting my irons beautifully all week, probably the strongest part of my game. I knew I was going to have that shot a couple of times, and I hit a great shot at the right time.”
Streelman’s hope of forcing a playoff ended when his 9-foot birdie putt rolled right. He settled for par and a 67.
“I’m frustrated I hit two incredible shots there the last two holes and hit two good putts,” Streelman said. “One of them went, one of them didn’t.”
Mullinax earned the last spot in the British Open at St. Andrews, with that tournament starting Thursday. The former Alabama player also gets spots in the 2023 PGA Championship and Sentry Tournament of Champions.
It marked the Barbasol Championship’s sixth consecutive close finish determined by one shot or in a playoff. Mullinax earned his title in his 105th PGA Tour start, overcoming bogeys on the par-5 sixth and par-3 ninth holes to finish with three birdies on the backside and eight overall.
Mark Hubbard was third at 22 under after a 65. Hurly Long (71) was 21 under.
Mullinax and Streelman were deadlocked for several holes before Streelman fell a shot back with a bogey on the par-3 16th. Streelman quickly made it up with a birdie on 17, converting a 9-footer.
After two days of rain delays that carried rounds over to the next morning, players finally had perfect weather in central Kentucky. At the same time, that meant a long Sunday with much of the field first having to complete the bulk of a third round suspended by darkness before regrouping for the final 18 holes.

The creepy 'fake eye contact' feature on Facetime you NEVER knew about: 'I'm terrified'
- iPhone users have discovered a creepy feature on their FaceTime settings
- Little known feature, which Apple quietly launched in 2019, will make it appear as if users are making eye contact with the person they're FaceTiming
- Branded 'creepy' and 'terrifying' by iPhone users who didn't know about it
iPhone users have discovered a creepy feature on their FaceTime settings which 'forces them' to have eye contact the person on the other end of the phone.
The little known feature, which Apple quietly launched in 2019, will make it appear as if users are making eye contact with the person they're FaceTiming, even if they're looking elsewhere.
Without the feature, if a person is looking directly at the person on the other side of the phone they won't appear to be looking at them in the eye as they're not directly looking at the camera.
iPhone users have discovered a creepy feature on their FaceTime settings which forces them to have eye contact the person on the other end of the phone. Pictured: Twitter user Mike Rundle without the filter, left, and with it right
However, the feature will digitally alter your image during a FaceTime so your eyes appear to be looking directly at the caller.
Tech enthusiast Will Sig shared an image of him FaceTiming his friend Mike Rundle - with and without the setting on.
With eye contact correction on, Mike's gaze is down while once its on he appears to be looking at Will straight in the eye.
'FaceTime Attention Correction is wild,' he wrote sharing the two pictures.

'Facetime eye contact thingy is creepy as f***' one Twitter user wrote.
'I didn’t realize ios14 had a FaceTime update called "eye contact" that alters the way your eyes look and was genuinely terrified and confused,' wrote another.
'Just found out that facetime has a weird eye contact feature???? that’s creepy' said another.
'I just found out there’s an augmented reality filter turned on by default on recent versions of #FaceTime that edit your eyes to look like you’re making eye contact! What in the neurotypical?' one tweeted.
'The eye contact feature on FaceTime is creepy af,' said another.
To turn it off, users need to go to settings, then choose FaceTime and toggle 'Eye Contact' off.

Three straight wins over Lake County put the TinCaps within striking distance of their first series victory against a team other than Lansing since April 12-17, but a trio of Captains home runs Sunday were too much for Fort Wayne to overcome at Parkview Field and the hosts lost 5-2 in front of an announced crowd of 3,156.
The loss forced the TinCaps (32-49, 5-10 second half) to settle for a series split. They have not won four games in a row this season.
"We had a couple big wins (Saturday) so adrenaline was great then, all of a sudden today we might have been having that catch up to us," TinCaps manager Brian Esposito said. "We'll kind of chalk it up to that, but we need to be ready to play a little bit better."
With the game tied at 2 in the top of the eighth, a double and a walk off TinCaps reliever Gabe Morales brought Alexfri Planez to the plate with one out.
The designated hitter, who entered the at-bat 0 for 3 with three strikeouts in the game, worked a 3-2 count and then crushed the winning home run to the lawn seats in left-center, a no-doubt blast that extended Planez's hitting streak to 21 games. It was his 11th home run of the season.
"It was a changeup, which I thought was a good pitch down and away," Fort Wayne catcher Anthony Vilar said of the game-winning blast. "He just got his barrel on it and got it out of there. That guy hit everything this week. Just a good swing on a good pitch."
Planez hit .409 in the series with two home runs, two doubles, six RBI and eight runs scored.
The Captains (42-39, 7-8) hit 11 home runs in the series and scored all nine of their runs in the final three games of the set via home run.
The TinCaps twice took the lead Sunday only for Lake County to even the score immediately with a long ball.
In the third inning, Vilar snapped a scoreless tie and broke up a fledgling perfect game from Captain starter Tommy Mace with a towering home run to the concourse in right. It was the first home run in 139 professional plate appearances for the backstop, who hit ninth Sunday.
"The guys before me were saying he was trying to pound in, so I was sitting on a fastball in," Vilar said. "It was a 3-1 fastball in and I just put a good swing on it. ... My first thought was 'We have the lead.'"
The Captains struck back in the top of the fourth when Johnathan Rodriguez crushed a 3-2 fastball off TinCaps starter Jackson Wolf on to the concourse in left-center for a tying solo home run, snapping a string of nine straight retired by Wolf after a somewhat wild start to the game.
Wolf pitched 6 1/3 innings and gave up only two hits while striking out seven walking two. He retired 17 of the 19 hitters he faced after walking a pair in the first inning, but both of the baserunners he permitted in that span were solo home runs for Rodriguez, who added a second blast in the seventh inning, this time on a changeup down.
"It was actually a pretty good pitch," Vilar said. "It could have been out of the zone, he just got under it, put a good swing on it and hit it out again. There's nothing you can do on the second one, I think."
Rodriguez hit three home runs and doubled three times in the series.
His second homer chased Wolf from the game. It knotted the score at 2 after the TinCaps had gone in front in the bottom of the sixth with three two-out walks sandwiched around a hit-by-pitch. Jarryd Dale drew a bases-loaded free pass to put Fort Wayne in front 2-1, but designated hitter Jack Stronach took a curveball for a called third strike to leave the bases loaded.
Stronach doubled with one out in the ninth inning and Olivier Basabe followed with a walk, but Vilar struck out and Max Ferguson popped up to end the game.
The TinCaps managed only five hits and went 0 for 5 with runners in scoring position. Lake County starter Tommy Mace went 5 2/3 innings, gave up two runs on six hits and struck out six.
"I felt like we should have done more damage against their starter," Esposito said. "Right-hander, average stuff at best in my opinion. Tall guy, did create some angle, some pitchability but I felt like there were a lot of hittable pitches we didn't get to that were just rolled over on the ground to the pull side from the left side of the plate. ... I think we should have got to the guy and we just didn't get to him." | https://www.journalgazette.net/sports/professional/tincaps/trio-of-home-runs-downs-tincaps-in-series-finale/article_8948a69c-009c-11ed-9586-0bf4489ca775.html | 2022-07-11T02:09:17Z | https://www.journalgazette.net/sports/professional/tincaps/trio-of-home-runs-downs-tincaps-in-series-finale/article_8948a69c-009c-11ed-9586-0bf4489ca775.html | true |
WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has tested positive for COVID-19 and reports experiencing very mild symptoms, his spokesman said Sunday night.
Schumer, 71, is fully vaccinated and has received two booster shots, spokesman Justin Goodman said in a statement.
The New York Democrat will follow federal health guidelines and quarantine this week while working remotely, Goodman said.
“Anyone who knows Leader Schumer knows that even if he’s not physically in the Capitol, through virtual meetings and his trademark flip phone he will continue with his robust schedule and remain in near constant contact with his colleagues,” Goodman said. | https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/article/Senate-Majority-Leader-Schumer-tests-positive-for-17296110.php | 2022-07-11T02:11:46Z | https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/article/Senate-Majority-Leader-Schumer-tests-positive-for-17296110.php | false |

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has tested positive for COVID-19 and reports experiencing very mild symptoms, his spokesman said Sunday night.
Schumer, 71, is fully vaccinated and has received two booster shots, spokesman Justin Goodman said in a statement.
The New York Democrat will follow federal health guidelines and quarantine this week while working remotely, Goodman said.
“Anyone who knows Leader Schumer knows that even if he’s not physically in the Capitol, through virtual meetings and his trademark flip phone he will continue with his robust schedule and remain in near constant contact with his colleagues,” Goodman said. | https://www.mychamplainvalley.com/news/politics/senate-majority-leader-schumer-tests-positive-for-covid-19/ | 2022-07-11T02:25:18Z | https://www.mychamplainvalley.com/news/politics/senate-majority-leader-schumer-tests-positive-for-covid-19/ | true |
TOKYO (AP) — Japan’s governing party and its coalition partner scored a major victory in a parliamentary election Sunday imbued with meaning after the assassination of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe amid uncertainty about how his loss may affect party unity.
The Liberal Democratic Party and its junior coalition partner Komeito raised their combined share in the 248-seat chamber to 146 — far beyond the majority — in the elections for half of the seats in the less powerful upper house.
With the boost, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida stands to rule without interruption until a scheduled election in 2025.
That would allow Kishida to work on long-term policies such as national security, his signature but still vague “new capitalism” economic policy, and his party’s long-cherished goal to amend the U.S.-drafted postwar pacifist constitution.
A charter change proposal is now a possibility. With the help of two opposition parties supportive of a charter change, the governing bloc now has two-thirds majority in the chamber needed to propose an amendment, making it a realistic possibility. The governing bloc already has secured support in the other chamber.
Kishida welcomed the major win but wasn’t smiling, given the loss of Abe and the hard task of unifying his party without him. In media interviews late Sunday, Kishida repeated: “Party unity is more important than anything else.”
He said responses to COVID-19, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and rising prices will be his priorities. He said he will also steadily push for reinforcing Japan’s national security as well a constitutional amendment.
Kishida and senior party lawmakers observed a moment of silence for Abe at the party election headquarters before placing on the whiteboard victory ribbons next to the names of candidates who secured their seats.
Abe, 67, was shot while giving a campaign speech in the western city of Nara on Friday and died of massive blood loss. He was Japan’s longest-serving political leader over two terms in office, and though he stepped down in 2020 was deeply influential in the LDP while heading its largest faction, Seiwakai.
“This could be a turning point” for the LDP over its divisive policies on gender equality, same-sex marriages and other issues that Abe-backed ultra-conservatives with paternalistic family values had resisted, said Mitsuru Fukuda, a crisis management professor at Nihon University.
Japan’s current diplomatic and security stance is unlikely to be swayed because fundamental changes had already been made by Abe. His ultra-nationalist views and pragmatic policies made him a divisive figure to many, including in the Koreas and China.
Following the assassination, Sunday’s vote took on new meaning, with all of Japan’s political leaders emphasizing the importance of free speech and defending democracy against acts of violence.
Abe’s killing may have resulted in sympathy votes. Turnout on Sunday was around 52%, up about 3 points from the previous 48.8% in 2019.
“It was extremely meaningful that we carried out the election,” Kishida said Sunday. “Our endeavor to protect democracy continues.”
On the final day of campaigning Saturday, party leaders avoided fist-bumps and other friendly gestures in close contact with the public — a sign of tightened security following Abe’s assassination during a campaign rally.
Abe’s body has been returned to his home in Tokyo’s upscale Shibuya, where many mourners, including Kishida and top party officials, paid tribute. His wake and funeral are expected in coming days.
On Sunday, the suspect accused of his murder was transferred to a local prosecutors’ office for further investigation, and a top regional police official acknowledged possible security lapses allowed the gunman to get close to Abe and fire his homemade gun at him.
The suspect, Tetsuya Yamagami, told investigators he acted because of Abe’s rumored connection to an organization that he resented, police said, but had no problem with the former leader’s political views. The man hated a religious group that his mother was obsessed about and that bankrupted a family business, according to media reports, including some that identified the group as the Unification Church.
Nara prefectural police chief Tomoaki Onizuka said Saturday that problems with security were undeniable, that he took the shooting seriously and will review the security procedures.
Abe stepped down two years ago blaming a recurrence of the ulcerative colitis he’d had since he was a teenager. He said he regretted leave many of his goals unfinished, including revising Japan’s war-renouncing constitution. While some conservatives consider the post-World War II charter a humiliation, the public is more supportive of the document.
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 through security alliance with the United States and bigger role in international affairs.
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, prompting six years of annual leadership change.
He returned to office in 2012, vowing 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.
Japan is known for its strict gun laws. With a population of 125 million, it had only 21 gun-related criminal cases in 2020, according to the latest government crime paper. Experts say, however, some recent attacks involved use of consumer items such as gasoline, suggesting increased risks for ordinary people to be embroiled in mass attacks. | https://www.wearegreenbay.com/international/ap-international/japan-votes-for-key-election-in-shadow-of-abe-assassination/ | 2022-07-11T02:31:52Z | https://www.wearegreenbay.com/international/ap-international/japan-votes-for-key-election-in-shadow-of-abe-assassination/ | true |

SHENZHEN, China, July 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Commercial service robots producer Pudu Robotics now has a team of its robots working at McDonald's locations in Slovenia through a deal set up by its local exclusive partner ARONAtm. In addition to this world's top fast-food chain, the Chinese robotics company has also worked with other partners across multiple industries to steadily expand its presence in Poland, the Netherlands, the UK, and other European countries. Its robots are deployed across a wide range of scenarios including gas stations, retail electronics outlets, restaurants, and hotels, among others.
At the end of 2021, McDonald's Slovenia started gradually introducing dozens of Pudu's BellaBot robots into the workforce, in a move to assist restaurant staff with the serving and delivery of food items as well as to perform other duties. The video of BellaBot delivering food at McDonald's has gone viral on TikTok, with millions of views worldwide.
The global restaurant sector is currently undergoing significant consolidation, as a result of the pandemic raising concerns among restaurant-goers and leading many to rethink their relationship with their dining environment. Expectations for sanitary and safety conditions have grown exponentially. With these concerns in mind, McDonald's Slovenia decided to use AI-powered food delivery robots. In addition to lower cost and higher efficiency, "hiring" the robots also reduced person-to-person interaction and, thus, the risk of virus transmission. The move has proven a winner, with added convenience for customers alongside a boost in the evolution of the brand across the intelligent foodservice ecosystem.
Moreover, BellaBot, serving as a concrete example of the new intelligent business model, has also been engaged in multiple tourism promotion campaigns launched by the government of Slovenia and its tourism offices.
Just since the beginning of the year, Pudu Robotics has signed agreements with the Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Jordan, Metro Group's Media Markt, Japan's Skylark Group, Shell Poland, and other well-known brands with international stature. To date, Pudu Robotics has shipped over 40,000 of its robots around the world. Pudu Robotics' presence being expanded from the foodservice sector into cleaning, disinfection, and building services is expected to increase the company's user base and pave the way for the creation of robots that enhance both human productivity and daily life quality based on customer demands.

CEDAR RAPIDS — For House Democrats, the road to maintaining and winning a durable majority may run through Iowa, said California U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff.
Schiff, chair of the House Permanent Select Committee of Intelligence and a member of the Jan. 6 Select Committee, campaigned Sunday in Cedar Rapids for Democrat Liz Mathis of Hiawatha for Iowa’s 2nd U.S. Congressional District.
Mathis, a state senator, is running against incumbent Republican U.S. Rep. Ashley Hinson.
Schiff and Mathis met with supporters at Mathis’ campaign headquarters near Lindale Mall before going door knocking.
“We cannot hold the line — not just or our majority, but for democracy — if we can’t win in districts like this,” Schiff said.
Schiff has assumed a prominent role on the committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection, his latest in a high-profile congressional investigation of former President Donald Trump. Schiff was also among the U.S. House Democrats who led the monthslong impeachment inquiry and Senate trial into whether Trump abused his office by attempting to withhold aid to Ukraine in exchange for an investigation into Joe Biden, then a candidate for the presidency. The Senate ultimately voted to acquit Trump.
People are also reading…
“Of all the corrosive things I think of the last administration, there’s probably none more destructive than the four-year, relentless assault on the truth,” Schiff said of Trump’s and other Republicans’ baseless assertions of a stolen 2020 presidential election. “On the very idea that if you don’t like the facts, that you’re somehow entitled to your own alternate facts. … If you can persuade people that our elections are somehow rigged just because you lose, if you can persuade people you can’t rely anymore on elections to decide who should govern, that what is left but violence?”
Hinson, who voted to certify the 2020 presidential election results, condemned the Jan. 6 attack and shortly after the insurrection was a co-sponsor of a bill calling for a bipartisan inquiry into what happened. The Marion Republican, however, ultimately voted against creating an independent, bipartisan commission to investigate, arguing it might interfere with ongoing prosecutions. Hinson at the time said she still wanted to “get to the bottom” of what happened, but would later say a congressional inquiry was unnecessary as many agencies were already investigating.
“And it is a terrible fact that here were are more than a year and a half after those events and our democracy is more vulnerable than it was a year and a half ago, because the Republican Party has taken that big falsehood about our last election and run with it around the country to usher in a new series of laws to disenfranchise people and use it to attack independent — even local — nonpartisan elections officials, poll workers and others,” Schiff said. “ … It’s no exaggeration to say that our democracy is on the ballot” in November.
Republicans, including Hinson, have criticized Biden and congressional Democrats for driving record inflation due to what they’ve termed reckless deficit spending, creating a tax on middle and working-class families.
“Leave it to Iowa Democrats for thinking that campaigning with Adam Schiff — who represents one of the most overtaxed states in the country where gas prices are averaging over $6 per gallon — will move the needle among Iowans reeling from Joe Biden and Democrats’ 40-year record high inflation,” Republican National Committee spokesman Kush Desai said in a statement.
But while national polls indicate Republicans are winning the messaging war on inflation, Schiff and Mathis note jobs numbers and unemployment have improved under Biden, and that Democrats have passed legislation to combat inflation.
Last month, the House passed the Lower Food And Fuel Costs Act, a package of bipartisan bills which Hinson supported, to lower prices in the grocery aisle and at the gas pump.
In May, the House passed the Consumer Fuel Price Gouging Prevention Act to give Biden the power to crack down on oil and gas price gouging. Republicans, including Hinson, unanimously opposed the bill, along with four Democrats.
Mathis, too, argued Hinson has tried to block infrastructure investments, jobs and economic growth for Iowa by voting against the bipartisan infrastructure bill, while taking credit for “game-changing” funding to modernize and expand locks and dams on the Mississippi River made possible under the law.
Hinson spoke out against the infrastructure bill and voted against it, but later was included in a bipartisan letter to the Army Corps of Engineers to request that funds be allocated for use on the river. The only Iowans to vote in favor of the bill were Democratic U.S. Rep. Cindy Axne and Republican U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley.
Hinson said she opposed the act because it was tied to social spending; however, she said, the money was going to be spent regardless once the bill was signed into law.
Mathis also criticized Hinson for opposing a measure to allow Medicare to negotiate with drug companies to lower prices and legislation to cap out-of-pocket insulin costs at $35 a month.
Hinson told Radio Iowa she didn’t vote for the insulin bill because she said it will raise premiums as companies try to recoup lost profits, and gives government too much control over businesses.
“She should be voting ‘Yes’ on a lot of these bills, because it would bring great progress to our district, innovation and tax dollars reimbursed back to us,” Mathis said. | https://wcfcourier.com/news/local/state-and-regional/schiff-has-prominent-role-in-capitol-insurrection-probe/article_1d177b87-cbb7-5c95-a596-114e041e4b22.html | 2022-07-11T03:26:17Z | https://wcfcourier.com/news/local/state-and-regional/schiff-has-prominent-role-in-capitol-insurrection-probe/article_1d177b87-cbb7-5c95-a596-114e041e4b22.html | false |

Additionally, the exhibition works can also be shared on social media, thus attracting more audiences.
The Silk Road Online Curating Competition culminated on the evening of July 8, with an award ceremony held in the China National Silk Museum. At the ceremony, Liu Shuguang, President of the Chinese Museums Association/ICOM-China, commented, "this is such an innovative competition that is in the breast with this digital age. And it is also such a cheerful gathering of emerging curators, from which we can see their passion and dedication toward the Silk Road culture." Director of China National Silk Museum Dr. Zhao Feng, and also the Chair of the Competition Organizer, said, "from SROM and the competition, I hope museums in the future could be more accessible, collaborative, and transparent, to help build a more democratic and hybrid museum curating and education system."
Since its establishment in 2021, SROM platform has not only been active in fostering collaboration among museums, but also in bringing the influence of museums into universities and society. The competition has attracted numerous applicants who have gone on to become "Digital Curators". They have energized the SROM platform and empowered it to display more deeply its creative functions, making the platform more user-based and sustainable.

TOKYO (AP) — An attack on democracy and freedom of speech. A throwback to the political murders of prewar Japan. Terrorism.
Public outrage, handwringing and vows of defiance by politicians and on social media are widespread following the daylight assassination by homemade gun of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, a major political force even after he stepped down in 2020 as the nation’s longest-serving political leader.
“The bullet pierced the foundation of democracy,” the liberal Asahi newspaper, a regular foil of the conservative, sometimes history-revisionist Abe, said in a front-page editorial after the killing. “We tremble with rage.”
Part of the collective fury is because crime is so rare in Japan, where it’s not uncommon to see cellphones and purses lying unattended in cafes. Gun attacks are vanishingly rare, especially in recent years and especially in political settings, though they have happened.
But the shock can also be traced to the setting: Abe was killed near a crowded train station, in the middle of a campaign speech for parliamentary elections, something that Japan, despite a long history of one-party political domination and growing voter apathy, takes seriously.
Mikito Chinen, a writer and doctor, declared on Twitter that he voted Sunday because “it’s important to demonstrate that democracy will not be defeated by violence.”
This attack is unique, marking the first assassination of a former or serving leader in postwar Japan, said Mitsuru Fukuda, a crisis management professor at Nihon University, and its consequences could be grave.
“Our society may have become one where politicians and dignitaries can be targeted any time, and that is making people uneasy about getting attacked for freely expressing their views,” Fukuda said.
Many here remember the political and social turmoil of prewar Japan, when the authorities demanded unquestioned obedience on the home front as imperial troops marched across Asia; it was the antithesis of democracy, a time when assassinations, government intimidation of dissidents and curbs on free speech and assembly were rife.
In modern liberal democracies, political killing is almost unheard of, though there are still examples of political violence, such as the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol in Washington.
The motive of Abe’s suspected gunman, who was arrested after being tackled by security, isn’t yet clear, though police and media reports indicate that it wasn’t political.
But the reemergence of assassination just days before national elections in one of the world’s most stable and affluent countries — and one that acts, along with its U.S. ally, as a political and security bulwark against decidedly undemocratic neighboring nations like China and North Korea — has raised fears that something fundamental has changed.
“Japan is a democracy, so the murder of a former prime minister is an attack on us all,” The Japan Times said in an editorial. “This was an act of terrorism.”
Political leaders carried on with their campaigns after Abe’s death, with the ruling Liberal Democratic Party that Abe was once the leader of scoring an even bigger victory Sunday than expected.
“In the middle of our election, which is the foundation of democracy, we absolutely must never let violence shut out free speech,” Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said ahead of the election, amid heightened security.
Despite Japan’s high living standards and enviable safety, there are occasional acts of extreme violence, including attacks carried out by those who express a sense of failure and isolation.
One of the most recent was in October, when a man dressed in a Joker outfit stabbed an elderly man, then spread oil before setting a fire on a Tokyo subway and attempting to attack more people with a knife.
In the realm of politics, perhaps the most striking postwar assassination came in 1960, when a rightist attacked socialist leader Inejiro Asanuma with a sword before an audience of thousands.
Gun attacks, however, are a different story.
Japan has some of the strictest gun control laws in the world, based on orders issued in 1946 by occupying U.S. forces. According to the latest Justice Ministry’s annual crime paper, police made 21 firearms arrests in 2020; 12 were gang related.
In 1994, a gunman shot at but missed Prime Minister Morihiro Hosokawa during a speech. Nagasaki Mayor Iccho Ito was assassinated by gunshot in 2007.
Stephen Nagy, a professor of politics and international relations at Tokyo’s International Christian University, said many of the people he’s talked to consider Abe’s attack “a lone wolf incident,” not an assault on democracy.
“The primary concern was about the vacuum in leadership that will emerge as the largest political faction (Abe’s) has just lost their leader and this will have implications for the trajectory of domestic politics,” Nagy said.
Compared to the United States and Europe, security for political and business leaders in Japan has often been less strict, except for at special, high-profile international events.
That was partly because of the perception of a lack of threat.
But the nature of the very public attack on Abe could lead to an emergency review of the way Japan guards its officials, and a tightening of security at election campaigns or large-scale events.
Japan used to be safe enough for politicians to get close to ordinary people, to chat and shake hands, Fukuda said. “It was a happy environment, but we may be losing it.”
“In a society where the risk of assassination is realistic, security levels have to be raised,” he said. “It’s an unfortunate development, but we cannot protect our safety otherwise.” | https://www.localsyr.com/news/international/terrorism-abe-killing-seen-as-attack-on-japans-democracy/ | 2022-07-11T03:31:38Z | https://www.localsyr.com/news/international/terrorism-abe-killing-seen-as-attack-on-japans-democracy/ | true |
CHICAGO (AP) — Brittney Griner was everywhere Sunday — before, during and after the WNBA All-Star Game.
Everywhere except where the league’s best players felt she should be — playing alongside them on the court.
A’ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart and the rest of the WNBA All-Stars wore Griner’s name and her No. 42 on the back of their jerseys for the second half of Team Wilson’s 134-112 victory over Team Stewart. It was another moment in the league’s continued push for Griner’s release from her detention in Russia.
“BG’s one of us. She’s our sister,” Wilson said, “and at the end of the day, we’re going to do whatever we can to amplify the platform that we have to make sure that everyone is doing what they need to do to make sure that she gets home safely.”
Griner, 31, has been detained since February after police at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport said they found vape canisters containing cannabis oil in her luggage. The eight-time All-Star pleaded guilty Thursday to drug possession charges that could see a sentence of to up to 10 years in prison.
Griner was announced as an honorary All-Star starter before Sunday’s game, drawing cheers from the crowd of 9,572 at the home of the defending champion Sky. The players lined up along the sideline to show off their Griner jerseys before the start of the second half.
Team Wilson guards Sabrina Ionescu and Courtney Vandersloot hugged Cherelle Griner, Brittney’s wife, before play resumed.
“We just wanted to make sure at some point that we were able to, on national television, obviously in front of a (big) crowd, put Brittney’s name in the forefront,” Seattle Storm guard Sue Bird said. “That was our way of honoring her.”
It was the last All-Star Game for Bird and Sylvia Fowles, two pillars of the league who plan to retire after this season. Fowles had the day’s biggest highlight, picking up a steal and throwing down a dunk for Team Wilson with 4:04 left in the first half.
“It was just in the moment,” Fowles said. “I didn’t really think about it.”
Bird received a huge ovation when she checked out with 2:10 left, and acknowledged the cheers with a wave.
“That moment was really special,” Bird said.
Las Vegas aces guard Kelsey Plum was named MVP after she scored 30 points for Team Wilson in her first All-Star appearance. Sabrina Ionescu had 19 points, six assists and six rebounds, and Chicago Sky forward Candace Parker finished with 15 points and eight boards.
Plum matched the league’s All-Star Game scoring record. Maya Moore also scored 30 points in 2015.
“What a way to send off Syl and Sue,” Plum said. “I think for me, I just personally wanted to go out and have a ton of fun.”
Jonquel Jones, the reigning WNBA MVP who plays for the Connecticut Sun, had 29 points and 13 rebounds for Team Stewart. Jones also made the game’s first 4-point shot with 7:04 left in the first quarter.
“I practiced them yesterday and shot it a lot in the warmups,” Jones said. “I felt comfortable and confident shooting them.”
It was the first WNBA All-Star Game in Chicago, and the league landed in the Windy City at perhaps its strongest position since it began play in 1997. Viewership is up, some major corporate partners have signed on and a wave of promising young stars like Wilson, Ionescu and Plum are moving to the forefront.
Commissioner Cathy Engelbert announced this year’s WNBA Finals teams will travel on charter flights, and the league is increasing its postseason bonus pools by almost 50% to $500,000. Next season will be extended to 40 games, up from 36 this year, and Engelbert said the league has been meeting with potential ownership groups for expansion teams.
“We continue to work really hard on the transformation of the business to improve the player experience,” Engelbert said.
Engelbert also is doing whatever she can to help Griner and her family. Griner’s guilty plea could be an effort by her and her advisers to expedite the court proceedings.
“She remains a huge priority for us, continues to have our full support,” Engelbert said. “Fully focused on getting her home safely and as soon as possible.”

Thirteen months ago, Ian Happ sat in Chicago Cubs manager David Ross’ office at Dodger Stadium.
Ross had summoned Happ to break tough news. Happ’s offensive struggles no longer warranted him an everyday spot in the lineup. Consequently, Ross informed Happ he wasn’t going to play much in the Cubs’ series against the Dodgers. Instead, Happ, then hitting .182, would be used off the bench.
“I cried in his office,” Happ recalled Sunday. “And to have that come full circle from just being at that point to getting an opportunity those last two months of last year, riding that into this year and having this first half, I mean, baseball’s a wild ride.”
Happ gained a more memorable moment Sunday to forever associate with Dodger Stadium. Ross called a pregame meeting to go over the team schedule and plans for the upcoming All-Star break. But then Ross had one additional detail to share, waiting until the end to reveal the news: Happ made his first All-Star team as a National League reserve.
Happ will join teammate Willson Contreras, the NL’s starting catcher, for the All-Star Game on July 19 in Los Angeles. The game will be a family affair for Contreras, whose younger brother, the Atlanta Braves’ William Contreras, also made the NL squad.
Because of Bryce Harper’s fractured thumb, William Contreras will join Willson in the starting lineup as the designated hitter. Aaron and Bret Boone were the last pair of brothers to make the same All-Star Game in 2003. The last brothers to start on the same All-Star team were Roberto and Sandy Alomar in 1992.
No White Sox players were announced as reserves, making Tim Anderson, the American League’s starting shortstop, the team’s only representative at the moment.
Hours after the Cubs were swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers with an 11-9 loss, the honor still hadn’t fully sunk in for Happ. He made the team through MLB player voting, finishing sixth among NL outfielders on player ballots behind Mookie Betts, Ronald Acuña Jr. and Joc Pederson — the three starters chosen by fans — and fellow reserves Kyle Schwarber and Starling Marte.
Happ teared up as he talked about calling his parents and fiancée to share the news.
“To be able to call yourself a big-league All-Star is really, really cool and I’m humbled by it,” Happ said. “The fact that guys in the league think of you that way and the year that you’ve had and give you that recognition, it’s really, really special. Filling out those ballots for six years now and putting guys in that you’ve played against that you really think are the best players in baseball, that’s really cool that guys were doing that for me.”
Ross laughed as he remembered Happ telling him Friday before Contreras’ All-Star honor was announced that if he happened to make the team, not to tell him in front of everyone because he would break down in tears. Of course, the clubhouse setting provided the perfect backdrop for the big news. It set off clapping and cheers from his teammates, who enveloped Happ in hugs.
“It was a great scene, great for our guys, something to really celebrate and I think everybody was genuinely really, really happy for Ian,” Ross said. “Happer has been as consistent of a player as I’ve ever seen him be, and the fact he gets rewarded by being an All-Star, he’s deserving of that. He’s upped his game, not just offensive numbers but his defense and baserunning. His all-around game has been stellar and I’m so happy for him.”
The All-Star honor is a remarkable achievement for Happ, who turned around a big-league career trending in the wrong direction.
On this date last year, Happ was hitting .183 with a .296 on-base percentage, .626 slugging percentage, 29% strikeout rate and 73 weighted runs created plus (wRC+) through 76 games. The slump raised significant concerns about whether Happ, a free agent after the 2023 season, fit into the Cubs’ future plans.
But instead of an awful first half completely derailing the 27-year-old switch hitter, he turned around his 2021 season in the final two months and carried that success into 2022.
“When you’ve gone through tough times in your career, you know when you get to some of those points, you can look back on that,” Happ said. “It’s a journey to get to a place in the big leagues where you feel like you’re capable of playing every day and confident enough to do it and to be able to take the 0-for-4s and the 0-for-5s and to keep coming back, and there’s so much that goes into that mental part of the game.”
Happ has overcome adversity during his six-year career, including getting sent to Triple A to start the 2019 season. Reflecting on his journey, he couldn’t pinpoint one specific thing he is most proud of.
“Just sticking with it. Everybody in their careers has ups and downs,” he said, “and thinking back to some of those really low moments where you’re questioning your confidence and your ability and to come to the other side of that and feel like you’ve gotten to a point where you’ve gotten recognition like this, it’s really special.”
Among NL outfielders, Happ entered Sunday’s loss ranked third in OBP (.372), fourth in batting average (.277), fifth in weighted on-base average (.357), fifth in WAR (2.2), sixth in RBIs (40) and seventh in wRC+(129). In his first at-bat Sunday after making the team, he doubled as part of a five-run first inning against Dodgers starter Julio Urías.
“It’s spectacular, man,” Ross said. “I’m so proud of him. The mental toughness that you have to have to come out of that is really good. When you see guys set their path to greatness, it’s after stuff like that. Being able to come out and be where he’s at right now, I’m super happy for him.”
Patrick Wisdom’s locker in the Dodger Stadium clubhouse is situated directly next to Happ’s, and Wisdom could feel the emotions coming from Happ after the announcement. Watching Happ endure last year’s struggles and come through it while playing at an elite level has rubbed off on Wisdom.
“He’s having an All-Star-caliber year and he’s more than deserving to be on that team, so it wasn’t a surprise to me because I knew that he should be there,” Wisdom told the Tribune. “He’s a pro through and through, and either hitting behind him or in front of him, just watching how he handles the successes and the failures, I’ve added that to my game and am learning from him constantly whether he knew that or not.”

A well-made nail file
If you enjoy doing manicures at home, you’ve probably accumulated a trove of polish and manicure tools. You likely use a nail file quite often, so it’s worth investing in one that is top quality. A well-made nail file with the correct grit can make or break a manicure, literally speaking. In fact, you can damage cuticles or shred nails if you’re not using the right one.
If you’re wondering what to look for in a quality nail file, take a look at this buying guide. We’re also sharing a few file recommendations at the end. Our top choice, Classy Lady Professional Crystal Nail File, is a popular pick for on-the-go manicures or touch-ups.
What to know before you buy a nail file
Salon vs. home manicures
Salon manicures can be stunning, especially those with fine detail and intricate artwork. Many consumers find manicures relaxing, especially when accompanied by a hand massage or paraffin wax. However, salon manicures are pricey if you get them done regularly.
Home manicures are affordable and easy to work into your schedule. Since you’re working at your own pace, home manicures can be relaxing as well. Doing your nails at home means you forgo the talent of an experienced nail artist— so you’ll need to brush up on your technique.
Types of nail files
It only takes a glance at the nail care aisle to know there’s a multitude of nail file types. To keep things simple, we’ve grouped them into categories based on their material.
Emery board: These affordable nail files are typically made of cardboard, so it comes as no surprise that they’re disposable. While they’re a solid choice if you’re on a budget, keep in mind they’re generally low quality and may damage nails.
Glass/crystal: Glass and crystal nail files feature fine grit that shapes nails without shredding them. They’re durable enough to last through years of use, so they’re one of the more expensive options.
Ceramic: Individuals with sensitive or mature skin benefit from using ceramic nail files. They’re extra-gentle and less likely to damage weak or brittle nails. These are more affordable than glass or crystal files, but they’re nowhere as durable.
Metal: Metal nail files are typically made with stainless steel. They’re undoubtedly durable, but they’re a bit harsh on nails and may cause the nail’s upper layers to peel or split.
Electric: Electric nail files, which resemble mini drills, are often used by professional manicurists. You can buy your own electric filer, though keep in mind it takes practice to avoid doing more harm than good.
What to look for in a quality nail file
Types of abrasive material
There are several types of abrasive materials for nail files. These include silicon carbide, aluminum oxide and garnet.
Silicon carbide is dense, durable and efficient, but it’s known to create a lot of dust. Some files combine silicon carbide with zinc stearate to cut down on dust. Aluminum oxide is less abrasive and is often preferred for natural nails. Garnet is both durable and affordable.
Nail file grit
Nail files are available in different grit levels, which determine how coarse or fine they are. Grit 80 and 100 are the coarsest, so they’re reserved for artificial nails. Grit 180 and 240 are best for natural nails, while grit 500 is the finest.
Nail file core
While outer materials matter the most when selecting a quality nail file, make sure to examine the nail file’s core to determine how durable or flexible it is. Wood core files aren’t very flexible and can be harsh on nails. Plastic is more flexible but may bend too much to control. There are also foam core files, which require additional pressure for effective filing.
How much you can expect to spend on nail files
Disposable nail files typically cost $5 or less, whereas crystal, ceramic and metal files run between $5-$30. Electric nail files have a broad range that starts at $20 and peaks at $250.
Nail file FAQ
Does my nail file need a sleeve?
A. It’s not necessary, but placing a nail file in a sleeve may contribute to its lifespan. As gritty as a nail file is, it can still sustain damage if it knocks against other items. Fortunately, many mid-to-high-priced nail files come with sleeves.
Does it matter what color my nail file is?
A. According to some home manicurists, selecting a nail file in a bold color makes it easier to see what you’re doing. It’s common to see glass and crystal files in bright colors like blue, purple or green.

How to know if you require computer glasses or not?
According to Nielsen, Americans spend more than half of their day in front of a screen. This behavior can lead to eye damage, back pain and low-quality sleep. Computer reading glasses can reduce blue light and glare, improving your comfort level when you’re in front of a screen.
We’ll break down what to look for when selecting a pair of computer glasses and then share a few of our favorites at the end. We found that the Prospek Blue Light Blocking Glasses are a great option, combining standard features with a sleek, lightweight and straightforward design.
What to know before you buy computer reading glasses
If several hours in front of the computer screen leave you with tired eyes, blurred vision, headaches or neck and shoulder pain, you may be experiencing eye strain. Computer reading glasses might help reduce some of your symptoms.
Eye strain and blue light protection
Blue light is simply a part of the visible light spectrum; however, excess exposure to blue light can damage the retina. Blue light is present in natural light, but you put your eyes at risk of fatigue and permanent damage when you spend too much time near your screens. Blue light can also inhibit your natural melatonin levels, which your body uses to ease you into sleep. Most computer reading glasses filter out blue light.
Prescription and magnification
If you find yourself squinting and having difficulty reading your screen, you should consider talking to an ophthalmologist or optometrist about your vision. While everyone’s eyes are different, prescription glasses can change the game for people straining to see their screens. There are computer reading glasses designed to not only negate harsh blue light but also modestly adjust the diopter — a term that measures the magnification power of a lens.
If you already wear prescription glasses and are considering computer reading glasses, you have several options. Additionally, there are clip-on glasses that snap on and accommodate your current frames at a reasonable price point.
Comfort and style
Finding a comfortable fit can be a complex process. We recommend opting for lightweight glasses, which puts less strain on the bridge of your nose. The more comfortable the glasses, the less frequently you have to adjust them.
What to look for in quality computer reading glasses
Minimal tint, glare prevention and accessories like cases are all good signals of quality. If you wear readers, glasses with magnification options are something to consider.
Yellow tint
Many computer reading glasses have a distinct yellow or orange tint. While this tint is there to filter blue light, it may be noticeable and irritating to some. This trend is more prevalent in low-quality models and varies in intensity. We prefer glasses that don’t have a noticeable tint because they tend to be more attractive and less distracting.
Anti-glare
Some lenses may reflect ambient light into your eyes, which can be distracting and irritating. The inside of the lens catches the sun, particularly if you are sitting by a window. Look for lenses that use an anti-glare coating to counteract and mitigate this effect.
Accessories
It’s a nice perk to receive a sturdy case and cleaning cloth with your glasses. Plus, if you treat your computer glasses with care, they’ll last longer.
How much can you expect to spend?
You can expect glasses with minimal magnification to cost from $10-$30. Frame quality improves near the $30-$50 range. The $50-$120 range offers more durable lenses and frames, prescription options and included accessories like glasses cases and carbon fiber cloths.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many on-screen hours are too many?
A. Answers vary. But the consensus is that any amount of screen time that is uncomfortable is too much. Doctors encourage breaks every 20-30 minutes.
Do they make computer reading glasses in children’s sizes?
A. Yes! Top brands include a range of glasses to accommodate different head sizes.

Which convection oven is best?
Convection ovens may look very similar to regular ovens; however, they utilize a fan to blow hot air over and around your food, resulting in food cooking quicker and more evenly. They’re great for roasting meats and vegetables, as the dry air helps with the browning and caramelization process. Additionally, they’re effective for broiling, steaming, air frying and dehydrating.
Convection ovens come in various sizes and with many features. A popular choice is the Breville The Smart Oven Pro Toaster Oven, which has 10 cooking functions and five heating elements. As a compact model, it’s designed to sit on a countertop. Alternatively, there are many other options for different cooking styles and family sizes.
What to know before you buy a convection oven
Cooking time
Since heat rises, regular ovens tend to be hot at the top and cooler at the bottom. Convection ovens cook around 25-30% faster than a regular oven because they circulate the hot air around the food. As such, you can reduce the heat or cook food for less time, both of which save energy and money.
Size
Just like regular ovens, convection ovens are available in various sizes, from small countertop toaster ovens to larger multi-shelved options for commercial use. An oven with two shelves and a 25- to 30-liter capacity is ideal for a family of four.
Cooking tips
If you haven’t used a convection oven before, it’s a good idea to check on your food more regularly to ensure it doesn’t burn. Don’t crowd the oven with too much food at once, and try to use shallow roasting pans and trays. This allows the air to circulate and cook the food evenly.
What to look for in a quality convection oven
Controls
The way convection ovens are controlled can vary between models. Some ovens have simple dials that select the temperature and cooking time, whereas others have digital touchscreens or LCDs to navigate through the functions. Look for a model with a backlit screen to avoid difficulties with reading the display.
Heat source
Convection ovens are fueled by gas or electricity. Gas ovens have a single heat source at the bottom of the oven, whereas electric models can have up to five heating elements. This allows heat to be focused when and where it’s needed for consistent results. An oven with a variable speed fan provides more control over the heat for different cooking styles.
Additional features
Many convection ovens are multifunctional. They may include additional settings for toasting, broiling, air frying or steaming. A model with a timer can delay the start time, so dinner can be prepared in advance. A rotisserie setting is a useful addition for cooking poultry and cuts of meat. It rotates the food, allowing it to cook evenly in its own juices.
How much you can expect to spend on a convection oven
There are plenty of budget ovens available for under $75, though they’re usually quite small and don’t have a full range of functions. For a decent-sized oven from a reputable manufacturer, expect to pay $150-$300.
Convection oven FAQ
Are convection ovens safe?
A. As with any appliance that gets hot, you should take care when using a convection oven. Wear oven mitts when transferring food to and from the oven, and keep children at a safe distance. If the oven is electric, ensure it has a correctly rated circuit breaker in case of malfunction.
Can a convection oven be used to defrost food?
A. Some foods may be defrosted in an oven. However, this isn’t recommended, as it can dry the food out or cause it to cook unevenly. An oven with a dedicated defrost setting ensures the food is heated at the right temperature and fully thawed before the cooking process begins.
Can I bake in a convection oven?
A. Convection ovens are perfect for baking some items, as the heat melts fats faster, helping dough and pastry to rise. Things like cakes and souffles shouldn’t be cooked in a convection oven unless the recipe calls for it, as the hot air will dry them out.
What’s the best convection oven to buy?

A history of underdog Maroons Origin wins
Queensland will enter Wednesday's State of Origin decider without star player Cameron Munster. But it's not the first time they will have to overcome adversity to win the series.
* THE FIRST GAME (1980)
It was in the very first Origin game that the mystique of Queensland's underdog status began.
For years the best players had headed to Sydney for better pay cheques, ensuring Queensland were always the whipping boys in the old inter-state series.
Arthur Beetson came back from reserve grade, age 35, to lead a ragtag bunch of men who hailed from north of the Tweed to victory.
Beetson's legacy continued through a young Wally Lewis and Mal Meninga who became mainstays of the Queensland side when the series expanded to a three-game contest in 1982.
* FATTY'S NEVILLE NOBODIES (1995)
Decimated by the Super League war, Queensland coach Paul Vautin managed to coerce a team of "nobodies" into pulling off one of the most famous Origin wins over a star-studded NSW side.
The Blues outfit were lined with internationals and Queensland were forced to turn to the likes of Ben Ikin, 18, with just six games of first grade experience under his belt.
After a two-point win in game one, the Maroons were without Dale Shearer - their most experienced player - with Billy Moore's flying fists and cries of "QUEENSLANDER" inspiring Queensland to a 2-0 series lead.
Captain Trevor Gillmeister climbed out of his hospital bed after suffering an infection and led the Maroons to a 3-0 series win.
* ALFIE'S RETURN (2001)
The Maroons were at crisis point when inspirational skipper Gorden Tallis and halfback Paul Green were unavailable for game three in Brisbane.
Their prospects of claiming a series victory were slim, particularly given how easily the Blues had dealt with them to square up the series in game two.
But Wayne Bennett hatched a plan, putting in a phone call to Allan Langer who was on the other side of the world playing for Warrington.
Langer landed back in Brisbane under a cloak of secrecy and was named to start in the No.7 jumper.
It was to prove an inspired move with Langer tearing the Blues defence apart in a 40-14 win.
* THE DYNASTY BEGINS (2006)
The Maroons had not won a series since 2001 and looked to be in for another year of misery when they trailed by 10 points with as many minutes to go in Melbourne.
But Brent Tate scored off a Johnathan Thurston break, before Darren Lockyer intercepted a loose pass and sealed a 16-14 victory.
It was the beginning of Queensland's dynasty at Origin level, dominating the event for the next eight years.
* THE NO HOPERS (2020)
Unfairly labelled the worst Queensland team of all time by the NSW press, the Maroons went into the decider at Suncorp Stadium with a patched up outfit.
The Maroons were so down on troops that Corey Allan was the fullback, Brenko Lee was at centre with his cousin Edrick Lee on the wing.
But Bennett - in his fourth coming as Queensland coach - sprinkled some magic dust and the Maroons came out firing.
They went in at the break 12-6 to the good and after some second-half magic from Cameron Munster were able to hold onto their lead and secure an unlikely victory. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-11001003/A-history-underdog-Maroons-Origin-wins.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-07-11T03:38:40Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-11001003/A-history-underdog-Maroons-Origin-wins.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true |
How the Maroons line up for Origin III
HOW QUEENSLAND SHAPE UP FOR STATE OF ORIGIN III:
Fullback - Kalyn Ponga
Age: 24
Origins: 6
Tries: 0
Concussion in Perth's game two has kept him off the park since. Some good early touches in that game but will need to be firing if the Maroons are to win.
Winger - Selwyn Cobbo
Age: 20
Origins: 2
Tries: 0
Was trapped at the wrong end of the field for most of game two. Has stepped up in the big moments for Brisbane this season at Suncorp Stadium and Billy Slater will be hoping he can do that in a Maroons jersey.
Centre - Valentine Holmes
Age: 27
Origins: 12
Tries: 10
Continues to deliver for the Maroons and could be the one to break the game open for them. Designated goalkicker whose boot could be crucial if the match goes down to the wire.
Centre - Dane Gagai
Age: 31
Origins: 21
Tries: 12
His performance in Perth had his Maroons future under the microscope but there is no player who loves the sense of occasion more than Gagai.
Winger - Corey Oates
Age: 27
Origins: 8
Tries: 3
A late recall for the first time since 2019 after Murray Taulagi was ruled out with COVID-19. Has 14 tries for Brisbane this season and will look to carry that form into game three.
Five-eighth - Tom Dearden
Age: 21
Origins: 0
Tries: 0
A debutant filling the boots of the absent Cameron Munster (COVID-19). Has been a standout at club level with North Queensland and could also play at hooker or off the bench with Ben Hunt a chance to spend time in the halves.
Halfback - Daly Cherry-Evans (captain)
Age: 33
Origins: 18
Tries: 2
With a rookie five-eighth alongside him the Maroons captain will shoulder a big chunk of the responsibility. Won't be afraid to take the NSW line on if he spots them lapsing.
Prop - Lindsay Collins
Age: 26
Origins: 5
Tries: 0
Didn't quite hit the heights from game one in game two but is happy to go toe-to-toe with anyone in the NSW pack.
Hooker - Ben Hunt
Age: 32
Origins: 13
Tries: 2
Takes the edge out of the opening stages to allow Harry Grant to come into the contest. Played for patches in Perth as an auxiliary lock and could be the difference maker.
Prop - Josh Papalii
Age: 30
Origins: 22
Tries: 3
The performances of Papalii have led to questions over his Origin future. Has yet to fire a shot in this series but the Canberra prop knows how to carry a team on his back.
Back-rower - Kurt Capewell
Age: 28
Origins: 8
Tries: 1
Versatile and dependable, the Brisbane back-rower will get through lots of the ugly stuff and his football intelligence means he's not afraid to chance his arm.
Back-rower - Jeremiah Nanai
Age: 19
Origins: 2
Tries: 0
Called in for Felise Kaufusi, Nanai will be severely tested by the NSW attack. Got stood up for one try in Perth and will need laser-like focus if he is to help the Maroons secure a win.
Lock - Tino Fa'asuamaleaui
Age: 22
Origins: 8
Tries: 0
Never stops running and is always looking to eat up more metres or sneak an offload away. Will need to lead from the front if the Maroons are to get the result they want.
Interchange:
Harry Grant
Age: 24
Origins: 4
Tries: 1
Didn't enjoy the same dominance in game two but remains a threat whenever he comes onto the field. His run-first mentality out of hooker will keep the Blues on their toes.
Jai Arrow
Age: 26
Origins: 10
Tries: 0
A solid return to Queensland colours in Perth but there is more to come from Arrow.
Patrick Carrigan
Age: 24
Origins: 2
Tries: 0
One of the standouts in both games for the Maroons. Will be crucial when Slater makes his changes in increasing the tempo.
Tom Gilbert
Age: 21
Origins: 0
Tries: 0
A debutant who has impressed with North Queensland this year and will be obliged to supplement the hard work of Capewell and Nanai.
18th man:
Thomas Flegler
Age: 21
Origins: 1
Tries: 0
Will be the go-to man if the Maroons are hit by concussions on gameday. Has just one Origin game to his name but will revel in the atmosphere if he gets his chance. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-11001041/How-Maroons-line-Origin-III.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-07-11T03:39:20Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-11001041/How-Maroons-line-Origin-III.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true |

The NFL never sleeps. Even during what is supposed to be a quiet period as the league and its 32 teams have time off before starting training camp, the news cycle has continued to flow.
Of course, there is something to do with the Dallas Cowboys as they often make headlines in the NFL. It's good news in Dallas as Dak Prescott looks to be in the best shape of his life. This is a welcome change given that that this time last year, he was recovering from that horror ankle break against the New York Giants.
Meanwhile, Tyreek Hill has sent out a message regarding his new teammate and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. Many have suggested that Hill will find things rather difficult in Miami this season simply because of the team's signal-caller. He notably left superstar Patrick Mahomes to join Tagovailoa on the Miami Dolphins roster.
However, Hill has defended Tagovailoa with a defiant message to NFL fans and analysts.
Here are the headlines around the NFL today (July 10, 2022):
Dak Prescott in good shape heading into training camp
The Dallas Cowboys face a defining year in 2022. Coming off a season that promised so much but delivered nothing, Dak Prescott and co. need to take advantage of their weak division and bank some playoff wins.
This time last season, Prescott was behind the eight ball as he was recovering from his ankle injury. He then injured his shoulder at the start of training camp, but seems to be in a much better place right now.
Prescott spoke to the Cowboys' official website and said that he is in great shape ahead of training camp, due in part to his personal trainer (PT). He said:
"One, just because of my movement. I got a PT in the offseason - someone I've worked with throughout the last year. I've paid him, made him full-time, my guy. Whether it's vacation or not, he comes with me."
Prescott added:
"We work on these movements and stretches. I feel like, since the injury, I've trained more functional than I ever have. So, I see it in my body, I see it the way I move and how the ball is coming out."
He concluded:
"A couple of weeks out and I'm in the best shape that I've ever been in. So, it's time to ramp it up and get going."
Tyreek Hill has message for Tua Tagovailoa critics
New Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill has defended his quarterback Tua Tagovailoa once again. Speaking on the "It Needed To Be Said" podcast, the receiver stated that a lot of media personalities will be eating their words this season.
Hill said via nfl.com:
"It's gonna be a lot of people taking their words back on what they said about [Tua]. I can't really name point, but I'm saying reporters, analysts, Twitter trolls. All those people are gonna take their words back on what they said about [Tua], and I'm just gonna be sitting there, eating my popcorn."
Lamar Jackson clarifies Twitter picture change
Lamar Jackson caused quite the stir among NFL circles when he changed his Twitter profile picture to one of a gold grill that had the words "I Need $".
Many thought this was a blantant shot at the Baltimore Ravens as contract talks continued, but that was apparently not the case. Jackson spoke with Safid Deen of USA Today and cleared it all up.
He said:
"I don't know why people are blowing it up. I just saw Bleacher Report post it. They just take anything that's posted on social media and just blow it up, and try to think for you. I don't take it too seriously."
Jackson added:
"They're making it seem like I'm talking to the Ravens when I'm not. Our contract discussion is going on already. But it ain't about that though."
It remains to be seen whether Jackson will get a bumper new deal. It is worth noting that Deshaun Watson shattered the quarterback price market with a deal that made him the highest paid quarterback in the NFL.

Average US gasoline price falls 19 cents to $4.86 per gallon
CAMARILLO, Calif. (AP) - The average U.S. price of regular-grade gasoline plunged 19 cents over the past two weeks to $4.86 per gallon.
Industry analyst Trilby Lundberg of the Lundberg Survey said Sunday that the continued decline comes as crude oil costs also fall.
“Assuming oil prices do not shoot up from here, motorists may see prices drop another 10-20 cents as the oil price cuts continue making their way to street level,” Lundberg said in a statement.
The average price at the pump is down 24 cents over the past month, but it’s $1.66 higher than it was one year ago.
Nationwide, the highest average price for regular-grade gas was in the San Francisco Bay Area, at $6.14 per gallon. The lowest average was in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, at $4.19 per gallon.
According to the survey, the average price of diesel dropped 13 cents since June 24 to $5.76 a gallon.

Those who only exercise on weekends still lower their risk of early death, study says
Weekend warriors can still stave off disease even if they are packing their workouts into a couple of days, according to a new study.
Related video above: Motivation to Workout When you Don’t Feel Like It
Adults should get 150 minutes of physical activity and two days of muscle-strengthening activity a week, according to the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans. If you are trying to spread that out over the week along with work, errands, cooking and cleaning, it can sound like a lot.
People who are physically active -- whether that is on weekends only or more often -- have lower mortality rates than inactive people, according to a study published Tuesday in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine.
There wasn't a big difference in all-cause or cause-specific mortality between those who exercise regularly and weekend warriors, as long as they were getting the same amount of moderate to vigorous physical activity in a week, said study author Leandro Rezende, adjunct professor of epidemiology in the department of preventive medicine at the Federal University of Sao Paulo in Brazil.
"This is good news considering that the weekend warrior physical activity pattern may be a more convenient option for many people to achieve the recommended levels of physical activity," Rezende said in an email.
As long as you are getting the 150 minutes of exercise that adults need each week -- or more -- working out whenever you can fit it in may help lower your mortality rate, according to the study.
The results could help public health officials promote physical activity even among busy people and support the idea that "every minute of physical activity counts," said Eric Shiroma, staff scientist at the National Institute on Aging.
CNN fitness contributor Dana Santas often hears clients talk about their crazy weekday schedules as a reason for not exercising.
"Understandably, they don't want to sacrifice much-needed sleep by getting up early or lose invaluable family dinner time by going to the gym right after work," said Santas, a certified strength and conditioning specialist and mind-body coach in professional sports. "Those are valid concerns as we all need sleep to function.
"And family dinners not only represent quality time but also increase the odds of eating healthy as opposed to grabbing fast food."
Other health impacts to look out for
The mortality benefits of weekend exercise are great news for people with busy weekdays, Santas said. But there are advantages to working out during the week.
The study didn't account for sleep, injury or mental health impacts of regular daily exercise, so it is important to keep that in mind, she added.
"Bodies are designed for movement," Santas said. "Being sedentary all week long could increase susceptibility to injury if you go too hard in your weekend workouts."
With that in mind, it is even more important for weekend warriors to make sure they are properly warming up and paying attention to form, she said.
A study from 2018 also found that exercise plays a big role in mental health. Participants in the study who reported exercising at all had about 1.5 fewer days of "bad self-reported mental health" in the past month compared with those who did not exercise.
And a big part of many aspects of health is getting good sleep. Getting enough daily exercise can help our bodies crave rest naturally at the end of the day, Santas said.
That daily exercise to help with sleep doesn't necessarily have to make you sweaty and out of breath, but you should strive for increased respiration and heart rate, she added.
That could mean devoting 20 to 25 minutes to a brisk walk, a bike ride or bodyweight exercises for better sleep, Santas said.
Shiroma recommended five ways to keep physical activity as part of your life: Find small ways like taking the stairs; exercise in ways you enjoy; make it social with friends; make and reward goals; and build back gradually when you fall off your routine. | https://www.kcra.com/article/only-exercise-weekends-still-lower-risk-early-death-study-says/40568836 | 2022-07-11T04:11:41Z | https://www.kcra.com/article/only-exercise-weekends-still-lower-risk-early-death-study-says/40568836 | true |
he New York Red Bulls have signed Ugandan midfielder Steven Sserwadda to an MLS contract, the club announced today. Sserwadda will occupy an international spot on the Red Bulls roster.
Sserwadda, 19, is in second year with New York Red Bulls II and has made 14 USL Championship appearances for the club. He has played in 10 games this season and has logged 862 minutes played.
"Steven is a dynamic young player that we have seen develop during his time with New York Red Bulls II and we are excited to add him to our roster," said Sporting Director Denis Hamlett. "In his time with the club, we have seen the promising qualities he possesses, and we are looking forward to having him on the field with us."
Sserwadda has featured for all levels of Ugandan national teams, where he has made three appearances and totaled 120 minutes played for the Ugandan Senior National Team. He made his senior national team debut on March 25 against Tajikistan.

The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) is issuing a Conservation Appeal, asking Texans and Texas businesses to voluntarily conserve electricity, Monday, July 11 between 2 p.m. to 8 p.m.
ERCOT also issued a Watch for a projected reserve capacity shortage from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m.
At this time, no system-wide outages are expected according to ERCOT.
According to ERCOT, factors driving the need for this important action by customers:
- Record high electric demand. The heat wave that has settled on Texas and much of the central United States is driving increased electric use. Other grid operators are operating under similar conservative operations programs as ERCOT due to the heatwave.
- Low wind. While solar power is generally reaching near-full generation capacity, wind generation is currently generating significantly less than what it historically generated in this time period. Current projections show wind generation coming in less than 10 % of its capacity.
Conservation notifications are issued when projected reserves may fall below 2300 MW for 30 minutes or more, according to ERCOT. | https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/ercot-asking-texans-to-conserve-power-on-monday/3010786/ | 2022-07-11T04:24:34Z | https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/ercot-asking-texans-to-conserve-power-on-monday/3010786/ | false |
Before you dive into this week’s photography news, let me ask you a question. How often do you take out your camera? Documentary photographer Jindřich Štreit said that “The art of photography is like playing the violin. You have to practice every day to achieve virtuosity, and if you put your instrument away and return to it only sometimes, the spark is lost. It’s like the training of a top athlete.”
I hope that inspires you to go out and shoot today. I took this advice to heart, and in the worst light of day (around 2pm) practiced on this fascinating creature – caterpillar of giant peacock moth.

Mumbai, Jul 11 (PTI) Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray has called a meeting of the party MPs on Monday to take a decision on the next week's presidential election.
Also Read | Apple's Music Recognition Feature Can Now Sync History With Shazam: Report.
The meeting will be held at 12 noon, according to Sena's Sindhudurg MP Vinayak Raut.
Some Shiv Sena MPs had earlier asked the party leadership to support Droupadi Murmu, the nominee of the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) at the Centre.
"The agenda is to discuss the party's stand on the presidential election slated to be held on July 18," Raut told PTI.
In the past, the Shiv Sena had broken ranks with the NDA and supported the candidatures of Pratibha Patil and Pranab Mukherjee (both Congress leaders).
The Sena had left the NDA in 2019 and the Thackeray-led party then formed government with the Congress and NCP in Maharashtra after ditching long-term ally BJP.
Last week, Sena MPs Rahul Shewale and Rajendra Gavit had written to Thackeray and sought that the party back Murmu.
In June this year, a majority of the Sena MLAs, led by Eknath Shinde, rebelled against the party leadership, asking it to snap ties with the NCP and the Congress.
The revolt in the party led to the collapse of the Thackeray-led government.
On June 30, Shinde was sworn in as the chief minister, while BJP's Devendra Fadnavis took oath as the deputy CM.

English football legend John Barnes will discuss his experience with racism at an event at the Scottish Parliament.
The former England and Liverpool winger has been outspoken in his push to tackle systemic racism, often opening up about his own experiences during his playing days.
Mr Barnes will appear during Holyrood’s Festival of Politics next month to speak about his book The Uncomfortable Truth About Racism.
In the wake of the murder in the US of George Floyd – which caused widespread unrest and protests against racism across the world – the former Celtic manager told Sky News the focus should be on stamping out systemic racism in the UK as opposed to just tackling overt racist acts.
He said: “Because that happens intermittently, what continues to happen throughout every single day of black people’s lives in inner cities is the systemic racism that affects their daily lives, and that is more important for us to challenge than these incidents.”
The three-day festival will also include a discussion on doctor-assisted suicide, with two former party leaders.
Kezia Dugdale and Ruth Davidson will join Liam McArthur – the MSP who has proposed the controversial legislation – as well as Australian MP Alex Greenwich in a panel chaired by SNP MSP Colette Stevenson.
Three attempts, including Mr McArthur’s, have been made to implement such a law in Holyrood, but they have previously failed to garner enough support.
The legislation would allow terminally ill and mentally competent adults to end their lives.
The Assisted Dying (Scotland) Bill has not yet been introduced to the Scottish Parliament, although the Lib Dem MSP has said he hopes to lodge it early next year.
Elsewhere, other events at the festival will look at the impact of disinformation, migration and asylum policies, the cost-of-living crisis, trust in politics and the strength of the union. | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/politics/3478936/john-barnes-to-discuss-racism-during-holyrood-event/ | 2022-07-11T04:32:53Z | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/politics/3478936/john-barnes-to-discuss-racism-during-holyrood-event/ | false |
Banks to maintain mitigated lending stance on households with credit risks likely to rise in Q3: survey
SEOUL, July 11 (Yonhap) -- Banks in South Korea will likely maintain a mitigated lending stance for households in the third quarter but credit risks for them were expected to rise amid increasing borrowing costs, a survey showed Monday.
According to the poll of officials handling credit affairs at financial institutions, including 18 banks, conducted by the Bank of Korea (BOK), the index gauging bank's attitude toward home-backed loans and unsecured household lending stood at 14 and 19, respectively, for the July-September period.
The figure compared with 31 and 19 tallied a quarter earlier.
A reading above zero means the number of lenders that will ease lending surpasses that of banks planning to tighten lending criteria.
Banks "are expected to maintain a mitigated lending stance in response to a slowing pace of growth of household lending," the BOK said.
Household debt had been on the rise in recent years as people have taken out loans to tide over the pandemic and bought homes amid soaring prices. The debt, however, saw its growth slow recently amid tightened lending rules and rising borrowing costs.
Household loans extended by local banks grew 2.8 percent on-year in April, sharply decelerating from a 6.2 percent rise in January, the data showed.
The BOK has hiked its policy rate at a fast clip in recent months to rein in inflation, putting upward pressure on banks' lending rates.
The central bank has raised the rate five times -- each by 0.25 percentage point -- since August last year to 1.75 percent.
The fast-rising borrowing costs have increased worries over credit risks for households.
The index gauging credit risks for households rose from 39 for the third quarter from the previous quarter's 22, the data showed.
"Credit risks for households were expected to rise sharply due to such factors as mounting debt and interest payment burden from growing lending rates," the BOK said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Joe Biden took office looking to reshape U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East, putting a premium on promoting democracy and human rights. In reality, he has struggled on several fronts to meaningfully separate his approach from former President Donald Trump’s.
Biden’s visit to the region this week includes a meeting with Saudi Arabia’s King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the oil-rich kingdom’s de facto leader who U.S. intelligence officials determined approved the 2018 killing of U.S.-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi in Turkey.
Biden had pledged as a candidate to recalibrate the U.S. relationship with Saudi Arabia, which he described as a “pariah” nation after Trump’s more accommodating stand, overlooking the kingdom’s human rights record and stepping up military sales to Riyadh.
But Biden now seems to be making the calculation that there’s more to be gained from courting the country than isolating it.
Biden’s first stop on his visit to the Mideast will be Israel. Here, again, his stance has softened since the firm declarations he made when running for president.
As a candidate, Biden condemned Trump administration policy on Israeli settlements in the West Bank. As president, he’s been unable to pressure the Israelis to halt the building of Jewish settlements and has offered no new initiatives to restart long-stalled peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians.
Biden also has let stand Trump’s 2019 decision recognizing Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights, which reversed more than a half-century of U.S. policy.
The Biden administration ”has had this rather confusing policy of continuity on many issues from Trump — the path of least resistance on many different issues, including Jerusalem, the Golan, Western Sahara, and most other affairs,” says Natan Sachs, director of the Center for Middle East Policy at the Brookings Institution.
Now Biden appears to be trying to find greater equilibrium in his Mideast policy, putting focus on what’s possible in a complicated part of the world at a time when Israel and some Arab nations are showing greater willingness to work together to isolate Iran — their common enemy — and to consider economic cooperation.
“Biden is coming in, in essence making a choice,” Sachs said. “And the choice is to embrace the emerging regional architecture.”
Biden on Saturday used an op-ed in the Washington Post — the same pages where Khashoggi penned much of his criticism of Saudi rule before his death — to declare that the Middle East has become more “stable and secure” in his nearly 18 months in office and he pushed back against the notion that his visit to Saudi Arabia amounted to backsliding.
“In Saudi Arabia, we reversed the blank-check policy we inherited,” Biden wrote. He also acknowledged “there are many who disagree” with his decision to visit the kingdom.
He pointed to his administration’s efforts to push a Saudi-led coalition and Houthis to agree to a U.N.-brokered cease-fire — now in its fourth month — after seven years of a war that has left 150,000 people dead in Yemen. Biden also cited as achievements his administration’s role in helping arrange a truce in last year’s 11-day Israel-Gaza war, the diminished capacity of the Islamic State terrorist group in the region and ending the U.S. combat mission in Iraq.
But Biden’s overall Mideast record is far more complicated. He has largely steered away from confronting some of the region’s most vexing problems, including some that he faulted Trump for exacerbating.
Biden often talks about the importance of relationships in foreign policy. His decision to visit the Mideast for a trip that promises little in the way of tangible accomplishments suggests he’s trying to invest in the region for the longer term.
In public, he has talked of insights gained from long hours over the years spent with China’s Xi Jinping and sizing up Russia’s Vladimir Putin. He’s relished building bonds with a younger generation of world leaders including Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Japan’s Fumio Kishida
Biden has met every Israeli prime minister dating back to Golda Meir, has a long-standing relationship with Jordan’s King Abdullah II and was deeply involved as vice president in helping President Barack Obama wind down the Iraq War. But Biden, who came of age on the foreign policy scene during the Cold War and sees the rise of China as the most pressing crisis facing the West, has been less oriented toward the Middle East than Europe and Asia.
“He doesn’t have the personal relationships. He doesn’t have the duration of relationships,” said Jon Alterman, director of the Middle East Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
He arrives at an uncertain moment for Israeli leadership. Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid last month dissolved the Knesset as their politically diverse coalition crumbled. Lapid, the former foreign minister, is now the caretaker prime minister.
Biden also will face fresh questions about his commitment to human rights following the fatal shooting of Palestinian American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh. Independent investigations determined that she was likely shot by an Israeli soldier while reporting from the West Bank in May.
The Abu Akleh family, in a scathing letter to Biden, accused his administration of excusing the Israelis for the journalist’s death. The State Department last week said U.S. security officials determined that Israeli gunfire likely killed her but “found no reason to believe that this was intentional.”
Two of the most closely watched moments during Biden’s four-day Middle East visit will come when he meets with Israeli opposition leader and former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and when he sees the Saudi crown prince.
But neither encounter is likely to dramatically alter U.S.-Mideast political dynamics.
Both leaders seem to have set their eyes on a post-Biden America as the Democratic president struggles with lagging poll numbers at home driven by skyrocketing inflation and unease with Biden’s handling of the economy, analysts say.
“Both of these leaders in my judgment are now looking past the Biden administration, and looking very much forward to the return of Donald Trump or his avatar,” said Aaron David Miller, who served six secretaries of state as an adviser on Arab-Israeli negotiations and now is a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. “I think it’s a complex trip, and I think we should be extremely realistic about these expectations.”
Biden’s prospects for progress on returning the U.S. to the Iran nuclear deal, brokered by Obama in 2015 and withdrawn from by Trump in 2018, remain elusive. The administration has participated indirectly in Vienna talks aimed at bringing both Washington and Tehran back into compliance with the deal. But the talks have thus far proved fruitless.
As a candidate, Biden promised the Saudis would “pay the price” for their human rights record. The sharp rhetoric helped Biden contrast himself with Trump, whose first official foreign trip as president was to the kingdom and who praised the Saudis as a “great ally” even after the Khashoggi killing.
Biden’s tough warning to the Saudis came at a moment when oil was trading at about $41 barrel; now, prices are closer to $105. The elevated oil prices are hurting Americans at the gas pump and driving up prices on essential goods, while helping the Saudis’ bottom line.
White House officials have said energy talks would make up one component of the Saudi leg of the president’s visit, but they have played down the prospect of the Saudis agreeing to further increase oil production because the kingdom says it is nearly at production capacity.
But Bruce Riedel, who served as a senior adviser on the National Security Council for four presidents, said the Saudi Arabia visit is “completely unnecessary” under the circumstances.
“There’s nothing that Joe Biden is going to do in Jeddah that the secretary of state or the secretary of defense, or frankly, a really good ambassador couldn’t do on his own.,” Riedel said. “There’s no outcome that’s going to come from this that really warrants a presidential visit.”

WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Wearing a backward cap with the brim bent skyward, Nick Kyrgios hit a between-the-legs shot while warming up for the Wimbledon final against Novak Djokovic.
Kyrgios was just getting started. Once play began, he tried an underarm serve. He conjured up a pair on-the-run, back-to-the-net ‘tweeners on consecutive points, one a passing shot, one a lob. And for one full set Sunday, in the biggest match of his life, on one of the most famous courts in the world, at as prestigious tournament as there is, against one of the greatest players in tennis history, Kyrgios played brilliantly.
Oh, did he ever: Seven aces, 14 winners, just four unforced errors. Completely composed. No distractions. Talk about meeting the moment.
“I felt,” Kyrgios would say later, “like I belonged, to be honest.”
For a set, anyway. Then, as so often happens, he allowed little things to bother him. He let his opponent gain the upper hand. He began berating himself. And so, ultimately, Kyrgios saw his early lead vanish in what would become a 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (3) loss to Djokovic at the All England Club.
This was the 32nd Grand Slam final for the top-seeded Djokovic — he’s won 21 such titles, including seven at Wimbledon — and the first for the unseeded Kyrgios.
“You cannot prepare (for a) match against Nick Kyrgios,” said Djokovic’s coach, 2001 Wimbledon champion Goran Ivanisevic. “Nick Kyrgios is a genius, tennis genius.”
The 27-year-old Australian is ranked 40th and hadn’t even been to a major quarterfinal in 7 1/2 years. Hasn’t won a tour-level title since 2019. But he did not perform that way at the start.
“I felt like the trophy was definitely attainable today,” said Kyrgios, who pounded 30 aces.
He generates as much — OK, let’s be honest, more — attention for his attitude and behavior, on and off the court, as he does for his considerable talent.
Most seriously, word came during Wimbledon that Kyrgios is supposed to be in court back home in Australia next month to face an assault allegation.
He spat in the direction of a heckling spectator during one match this fortnight. He got in trouble for cursing during another — and again on Sunday.
Once his advantage on the scoreboard began to dwindle, and after he lost one return game after being up love-40, and one service game after being up 40-love Kyrgios began talking to the people in his guest box, which included his father and his girlfriend ( but no coach, because he doesn’t have one ). He would yell in that direction. Or motion dismissively. He threw a water bottle.
The chair umpire heard a lot from Kyrgios, too, such as a complaint that a woman he thought had been drinking was talking to him during the match.
“I mean, look, I’ve been on a couple nights out in my life,” Kyrgios said at his news conference, “and I knew that she had too many.”
There were those who have wondered during his career whether Kyrgios would ever be able to harness his tremendous skills and make it to the final weekend of a major tournament. The ability has long been there; that’s why he was 2-0 against Djokovic before Sunday, and also has victories over Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer.
“Everything is starting to come together for you,” Djokovic told Kyrgios during the trophy ceremony at Centre Court.
“It’s tough to find consolation words after a tough loss like this, but you showed why you deserve to be one of the best players in the world, particularly on this surface,” Djokovic said. “I wish you all the best. I really respect you a lot.”
Kyrgios said he found the past two weeks stressful. The attention — and comments — on social media. And since learning he would be participating in a Grand Slam final after Nadal withdrew Thursday from the semifinals with an abdominal injury, Kyrgios couldn’t sleep at night.
He said about 1 1/2 months ago, he was playing basketball with some pals in Australia and told one of them: “Look, I think I’m going to have some fun and maybe win Wimbledon.”
Came so close.
“I look back at it,” Kyrgios said, “and I’m just like, ‘How am I here?’”

JERUSALEM (AP) — The family of an Israel-American girl killed in a 2001 Palestinian suicide bombing in Jerusalem is seeking a meeting with President Joe Biden in hopes of forcing Jordan to extradite a woman convicted in the deadly attack.
The parents of Malki Roth turned to Biden on Sunday asking to meet with the president when he comes to Jerusalem this week. They want the president to put pressure on Jordan, a close American ally, to send Ahlam Tamimi to the U.S. for trial.
“We are bereaved parents as you are, sir. We have a burning sense that injustice in the wake of our child’s murder is winning,” Frimet and Arnold Roth wrote in their letter. “We ask that you address this as only the leader of the United States can.”
The Roths have been waging a campaign for the extradition of Ahlam Tamimi since she was released by Israel in a 2011 prisoner swap with the Hamas militant group. Under that deal, Tamimi was sent to her native Jordan, where she lives freely and has been a familiar face in the media. Jordanian authorities have rebuffed calls to extradite her.
On Aug. 9, 2001, a Palestinian bomber walked into a Jerusalem pizzeria and blew himself up, killing 15 people. Two American citizens, including 15-year-old Malki Roth, were among the dead.
Tamimi, who chose the target and guided the bomber there, was arrested weeks later and sentenced by Israel to 16 life sentences. Since her release, she has expressed no remorse and even boasted that she was pleased with the high death toll. In a 2017 interview with The Associated Press, she said the Palestinians have a right to resist Israel by any means, including deadly attacks.
Roth has repeatedly called on U.S. authorities to press Jordan, which has received billions of dollars in American assistance, to turn over Tamimi for trial.
The United States has charged Tamimi with conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction against American nationals. The charge was filed under seal in 2013 and announced by the Justice Department four years later. Her name was added to the FBI’s list of Most Wanted Terrorists.
The U.S. and Jordan signed an extradition treaty in 1995. But in 2017, Jordan’s high court blocked her extradition, reportedly claiming the treaty was never ratified.
Two years ago, the Trump administration said it was considering withholding aid to Jordan over the case, but ultimately no action was taken.
Jordan is one of the United States’ closest partners in the Arab world, seen as a force of moderation and stability in the volatile Middle East. American officials appear to be wary of sparking a diplomatic crisis with a key ally.
“Something is obviously terribly wrong with how the pursuit of America’s most wanted female fugitive is going,” the Roths wrote in their letter, sent to Biden through the U.S. Embassy.
“We want to explain this to you better in a face-to-face meeting,” they added. “We want you to look us in the eyes, Mr. President, and tell us how Jordan’s king can be a praiseworthy ally.”
Biden is scheduled to land in Israel on Wednesday before traveling to a Mideast summit in Saudi Arabia on Friday. He has no plans to be in Jordan, though Jordanian officials are expected at the summit.
There was no immediate comment from either the White House or the Jordanian Royal Hashemite Court.
Roth’s letter was sent days after the family of a Palestinian-American journalist killed while covering an Israeli military raid in the occupied West Bank lashed out at Biden over his administration’s response to her death.
Relatives of Al Jazeera reporter Shireen Abu Akleh expressed “grief, outrage and (a) sense of betrayal” in a letter accusing the U.S. of trying to erase Israeli responsibility for her death.
A U.S. investigation concluded that Abu Akleh was likely killed by Israeli fire, but also said there was “no reason to believe” she was deliberately targeted. Israel says Abu Akleh was killed during a gun battle with Palestinian militants, and it is unclear who fired the deadly shot. The Palestinians say Israel intentionally killed her.
The White House declined to comment on the letter or the family’s request for a meeting during his visit. | https://www.conchovalleyhomepage.com/news/political-news/ap-politics/parents-of-slain-israeli-american-girl-seek-biden-meeting/ | 2022-07-11T04:44:59Z | https://www.conchovalleyhomepage.com/news/political-news/ap-politics/parents-of-slain-israeli-american-girl-seek-biden-meeting/ | true |
DES MOINES, Iowa — Kostiantyn “Koast” Tsymbal is a long way from home, but the Ukrainian exchange student is settling into Iowa by connecting with Des Moines’ homeless population through Joppa.
“I got involved a lot and just got addicted to this place,” said Tsymbal. “I just felt so good helping those people, and now I volunteer here constantly.”
Tsymbal only needed 30 hours of volunteer work to meet his educational requirements at Johnston High School, but Joppa CEO and co-founder Joe Stevens believes Tsymbal has spent about 200 hours serving food and supplies to people without homes.
The teenager arrived in Johnston last summer and only intended to stay in Iowa for one school year. Due to the war between Ukraine and Russia, he’s unable to go home. Tsymbal will finish his schooling while in Iowa.
“I called my mom right away and asked if everything is alright,” said Tsymbal, who further added that his family has now evacuated and is safe. “She said there was a bombing in my town.”
While Tsymbal hopes for his country’s survival, he now listens to stories of Iowans surviving on the street.
That included a man named David, who lives in a homeless camp near downtown Des Moines.
“There’s things I’ve been through I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy, and losing my wife and son is one of them,” David said. “You’re always going to have some homeless people. People need to learn to either accept it or provide places for us to go.”
Tsymbal said he’s going to continue his service with Joppa until he returns to Ukraine.
“I feel great that I can help somehow and be a friend for them,” Tsymbal said. “Try to help other people. Stop thinking only about yourself.” | https://who13.com/news/metro-news/ukrainian-exchange-student-volunteers-to-help-homeless-in-des-moines/ | 2022-07-11T04:53:57Z | https://who13.com/news/metro-news/ukrainian-exchange-student-volunteers-to-help-homeless-in-des-moines/ | false |
MEXICO CITY (AP) — The U.S.-Mexico relationship — a straightforward tradeoff during the Trump adminstration, with Mexico tamping down on migration and the U.S. not pressing on other issues — has become a wide range of disagreements over trade, foreign policy, energy and climate change.
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador is to visit Washington on Tuesday to meet with President Joe Biden, a month after López Obrador snubbed Biden’s invitation to the Summit of the Americas in Los Angeles. Mexico’s leader had demanded that Biden invite to the summit the leaders of Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela — all countries with anti-democratic regimes — and he has also called U.S. support for Ukraine “a crass error.”
On that, and other issues, it’s clear López Obrador is getting along much worse with Biden than with Donald Trump, who threatened Mexico, but wanted only one thing from his southern neighbor: stop migrants from reaching the border.
“I think it is more that the Biden administration has tried hard to re-institutionalize the relationship and restore the relationship that’s not centered solely on immigration and trade. And I think as a result that leads to issues coming up that AMLO is less comfortable talking about,” Andrew Rudman, director of the Mexico Institute at the Wilson Center, said, using the Spanish acronym by which Mexicans refer to the president.
U.S. officials want López Obrador to retreat on his reliance on fossil fuels and his campaign to favor Mexico’s state-owned electricity utility at the expense of foreign-built plants powered by gas and renewable energy. Washington has filed several complaints under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada free trade agreement pushing Mexico to enforce environmental laws and rules guaranteeing trade union rights.
López Obrador also has angrily rejected any U.S. criticism of the killings of journalists in Mexico or his own efforts to weaken checks and balances in Mexico’s government. He is also angered by U.S. funding of civic and non-governmental groups in Mexico that he claims are part of the opposition.
It all adds up to a witches’ brew in bilateral relations.
“At the end of the day, the problem is that you have the complete mismatch in this relationship,” said Arturo Sarukhan, who served as Mexico’s ambassador to the U.S. from 2006 to 2013.
The United States “needs Mexico as a key partner on everything from ‘near shoring’ (manufacturing for the U.S. market) … in terms of competitiveness, in terms of North American energy security, energy independence, energy efficiency,” Sarukhan said. “The problem is you have a Mexican president who doesn’t care about any of these things.”
What the Mexican president is interested in talking about is inflation, which in June spiked to almost 8%. Inflation and the economic after-effects of the pandemic are leading an increasing number of Mexicans to emigrate — 22 of the 53 migrants who recently died after being abandoned by smugglers in a semi-trailer in Texas were Mexican.
“We have to look for a way to act together, help each other in controlling inflation,” López Obrador said Friday. “That is a topic I am going to propose. We have a plan.”
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the same day that the Bidens are looking forward to welcoming Lopez-Obrador and his wife at the White House.
“They will discuss a broad and deep agenda, including joint efforts on migration, food security and economic opportunity, and so the president looks forward to having that conversation,” Jean-Pierre said.
She sidestepped questions about Lopez Obrador’s repeated public criticism of the Biden administration, including U.S. efforts to extradite Wikileaks founder Julian Assange from the U.K. for prosecution.
“We see AMLO, the president of Mexico, as a partner,” she said, adding that many conversations would be had. “And I’m going to leave it at that.”
The question is how hard the Biden administration is willing to push Mexico on anything.
With Republicans like Texas Gov. Greg Abbot relentlessly pointing at the migration issue, Mexico holds huge leverage. It is under no obligation to accept anyone returned at its border except Mexican citizens, but it has allowed the U.S. to continue to deport migrants of other nationalities under Title 42 health regulations.
López Obrador badly wants the U.S. to grant more work visas to Mexicans and Central Americans. While that remains a touchy issue in U.S. domestic politics, more visas could help tame clandestine border crossings.
Increasing such visas “would seem to be a way to resolve the labor shortage we have in this country, and also reduce some of the pressure on Mexico and Central America,” Rudman said. “So it seems like something that Lopez Obrador is for, and the Biden administration might be inclined to offer.”
Sarukhan thinks Biden is in a situation similar to that of European leaders who essentially outsourced immigration controls on hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees and migrants to Turkey, which accepted them and prevented them from going on to Greece. The Europeans, in exchange, have had to put up with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s increasingly autocratic ways and foreign policy snubs, he said.
“In many ways, the Biden administration is in its own Erdogan trap,” said Sarukhan.
As if to underline the parallel, the Turkish president is scheduled to visit Mexico later in July, perhaps to shore up a new kind of “non-aligned” bloc like the one that existed during the Cold War in the 1960s and ’70s.
López Obrador seldom passes up a chance to irritate the United States. He recently said the Statue of Liberty should be dismantled and returned to France if Assange is imprisoned in the U.S..
Still, there are some signs that Mexico has tried to make up for the summit and other slights.
In late May, Mexico started to crack down on hundreds of meth and fentanyl labs that have been sending to the U.S. a steady stream of those drugs, which have caused the overdose deaths of tens of thousands of Americans.
Mexico’s seizures of meth labs went from six in May to 72 in June, and many of those labs appear to have been operating for years. And days before López Obrador left for Washington, authorities raided two large warehouses in the northern city of Culiacan, finding a half ton of fentanyl and a half million fentanyl pills.
Rudman is skeptical the Mexican army just suddenly found out so many labs were operating. “How could Mexico not have known?” Rudman asks.
The question remains of why López Obrador got along so much better with Trump than he does with Biden.
“I think you can argue that AMLO and Trump ran similar campaigns and won for similar reasons,” said Rudman.
López Obrador’s program of encouraging Mexican self-sufficiency in food, energy and other areas harkens back to a Trump-like nationalism.
“It’s make Mexico great again,” Rudman said.

Carsharing giant Uber used a variety of aggressive techniques to push into global markets, according to a new report. The company even considered how to frame violence against its drivers in a bid for public sympathy.
Uberr is accused of aggressive and semi-deceptive dealing behind the scenes which some say even included Emmanuel Macron
When US-based company Uber sought to expand its business abroad, it lobbied politicians to relax labor and taxi laws, sought to thwart regulators and law enforcement, and channel cash through tax havens like Bermuda, according to a report that was released Sunday.
The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, a nonprofit network, searched over 100,000 items of Uber's internal communications in order to offer "an unprecedented look into the ways Uber defied taxi laws and upended workers' rights."
The documents at the heart of the investigation were first leaked to the UK newspaper The Guardian, which offered to share them with the consortium.
Among the allies Uber found in the French government was reportedly Emmanuel Macron, who served as the Economics Minister from 2014 until 2016. Uber believed Macron, now president, could encourage his country's regulators "to be 'less conservative' in their interpretation of rules limiting the company's operations."
Opposition deputies denounced Macron after the report came out, accusing him of brokering a secret deal with the company.
When contacted for comment by the AFP news agency, Macron's presidential aides said the politician was in contact with the company in the normal course of his ministerial duties. As the economy minister, Macron has "naturally" been in contact with "many companies involved in the profound change in services that has occurred over the years mentioned, which should be facilitated by unravelling certain administrative or regulatory locks."
Uber is a "ride-sharing" app that functions similarly to a taxi dispatch in numerous countries around the world where it has successfully encroached on local taxi markets, forcing down prices and driving numerous competitors out of business and rendering some of them insolvent in the process.
The company was founded in 2009. Since then, it has brought down the economics of the taxi business in many countries of the world either directly or due to similarly functioning regional or local competitors with a similar business model as Uber.
While it is unclear what if any laws Uber may have broken in pursuit of shattering regulations, an army of lobbyists including several who were aides to former US president Barack Obama, aggressively sought terms favorable to the company's bottom line.
The journalists' consortium's so-called UberFiles reveal the depths the company went to in its bid for market share in more than two dozen countries.
In at least six countries, Uber used a "kill switch" to block access to company servers during government raids, including once in Amsterdam, on an order given by the CEO at the time, Travis Kalanick.
Kalanick also saw violence against Uber drivers in France by traditional taxi drivers as an opportunity to gin up support for its own fleet of drivers.
Uber is also accused of funneling profits through the off-shore tax haven of Bermuda in a bid to skip out on its tax bills.
The company "sought to deflect attention from its tax liabilities by helping authorities collect taxes from its drivers," according to the reporters working for The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists.
Commenting on the claims of unfairness in competitive practices, Uber spokesperson Jill Hazelbaker said "mistakes" had been made in the past. Hazelbaker said when CEO Dara Khosrowshahi was named in 2017, he had been "tasked with transforming every aspect of how Uber operates."
"When we say Uber is a different company today, we mean it literally: 90% of current Uber employees joined after Dara became CEO," Hazelbaker offered.

AP PHOTOS: Amid drought, Lake Mead
BOULDER CITY, Nev. (AP) - An abandoned old power boat juts upright from the cracked mud like a giant tombstone. Its epitaph might read: Here lay the waters of Lake Mead.
The largest U.S. reservoir has shrunken to a record low amid a punishing drought and the demands of 40 million people in seven states who are sucking the Colorado River dry. The megadrought in the U.S. West has been worsened by climate change. Wildfire season has become longer and blazes more intense, scorching temperatures have broken records and lakes are shriveling.
Receding waters of Lake Mead National Recreation Area have revealed the skeletal remains of two people along with countless desiccated fish and what has become a graveyard of forgotten and stranded watercraft.
Houseboats, sailboats and motorboats have been beached, creating a surreal scene in an otherwise rugged desert landscape. A buoy that once marked a no-boat-zone sits in the dirt, not a drop of water anywhere in view. Even a sunken World War II-era craft that once surveyed the lake has emerged from the ebbing waters.
Nature did not create this still water paradise for fishing, camping and kayaking. The mighty Colorado River that divides Nevada from Arizona once flowed beneath the walls of Black Canyon until the Hoover Dam was erected in 1935 for irrigation, flood control and hydropower.
The reservoir is now below 30 percent of capacity. Its level has dropped 170 feet (52 meters) since reaching a high-water mark in 1983, leaving a bright white line of mineral deposits on the brown canyon walls that looms over passing motor boats as high as a 15-story building.

Most of the boat ramps have been gated and marina docks moved into deeper waters. A sign that marks the water level in 2002 inconceivably stands above a road that descends to boat slips in the distance.
The dropping water levels have consequences not only for the cities that depend on the future source of water but for boaters who have to navigate shallow waters and avoid islands and sandbars that lurk below the surface before emerging.
Craig Miller was motoring around on his houseboat last month when the engine died and he floated to shore. Within days, the knee deep water where his boat came to a rest was gone.
"It's amazing how fast the water went down," Miller said. "I was landlocked."
He bought pumps and tried to dredge the sand around the boat to create a channel to the water, but couldn't stay ahead of the receding waters. A tow from shallow waters, originally estimated at $4,000, ballooned to a $20,000 salvage job when he became marooned.
Miller spent three weeks on the beached boat, spending much of it soaking in the water to stay cool in the triple-digit heat. The day before he was told by park rangers that he had to get the boat off the sand, Dave Sparks, a social media personality known as Heavy D, who had seen a video about Miller's plight, showed up with a crew to pull the boat from the shore and tow it to a marina.
Others have flocked to the dried lake bed for selfies in the haunting landscape or against the backdrop of what looks like a colossal ring around a bathtub.
The dried lake bottom looks like shattered glass, the cracks expanding in the hot sun and mud fading from brown to beige.
A small school of dead fish have been propped on their tails and arranged in a circle.
As the sun sets to the West over Las Vegas, the light illuminates the translucent hollowed-out body and empty eye socket of one fish. It´s mouth is open as if it is trying to breathe.

Primetime’s Top 5 linebackers entering the 2022 high school football season
CENTRAL LOUISIANA (KALB) -With the high school football season quickly approaching, it is time to look at some of the best Central Louisiana offers at the linebacker position.
The Town Talk’s Lamar “Primetime” Gafford lists his top five returning defensive lineman for this upcoming season.
Jaquarius Billups (Sr.) - Tioga - Since Kevin Cook took over in 2015, Tioga has churned out a lot of defensive prospects and Billups appears to be next up. Billups led the team with 121 tackles and added three interceptions and two forced fumbles for a young squad that battled through injuries and inexperience yet still made the playoffs.
Tackett Curtis (Sr.) - Many - There is no doubt that Curtis, the reigning All-Cenla Defensive Player of the Year, is the top prospect in the area. He is coming off a season during which he made 103 tackles with an interception and a fumble recovery. Curtis’ list of schools is a long one, as 46 FBS programs have offered him, including Power 5 schools Ohio State, Wisconsin and USC.

Frank Ford III (Jr.) - Leesville - The Wampus Cats lost one 100-tackle linebacker in Caden Bealer, but Ford remains with them after finishing second with 112 tackles and a fumble recovery. There were four times last season that Ford recorded double-digit tackles, but his 27 tackles against Bolton easily stands out as the best, with four of those going for losses.
Logan Saucier (Sr.) - Natchitoches Central - Despite missing two games last year, Saucier was second on the Chiefs in tackles with 89 and played a big role in their forcing 24 turnovers — finishing the year with a +13 turnover margin. With 84 tackles as a sophomore in 2020, Saucier will be looking for his third straight 80-tackle season to close his career.
Michael Woods (Jr.) - Rosepine - The Eagles had a solid defensive unit before, but the addition of Woods last season put them over the top as the Pickering transfer immediately became one of Central Louisiana’s top players in the Class of 2024. Woods led the area with 139 tackles and 11 sacks as Rosepine reached the quarterfinals for the first time.

North Lanarkshire Council revives 200 empty flats for Ukrainians
- Published
A Scottish council is planning to bring 200 empty homes back into use to provide homes for Ukrainian refugees.
North Lanarkshire Council will use £5m of Scottish government funding to reinstate two tower blocks which were earmarked for demolition.
The flats in Airdrie and Coatbridge will be refurbished to "a high standard".
The aim is to allow people fleeing the war in Eastern Europe to live in their own homes rather than hotels.
The towers, High Coats in Coatbridge and Birkshaw in Wishaw, were being prepared for demolition as part of a council strategy, but will now be modernised with the first flats expected to be completed in six weeks.
Council leader Jordan Linden said: "The people escaping conflict in Ukraine face the most unimaginable circumstances.
"Across Scotland, so many have welcomed Ukrainian people into their homes and communities, and I am proud that we can play a leading role in the national effort by providing a large number of homes here in North Lanarkshire.
"I know that the people of North Lanarkshire will welcome those who face such an uncertain time with their usual warmth and generosity, and I am pleased that we can move quickly to assist."
He said that council staff were already working with partners to provide support and advice to people from Ukraine in hotel accommodation, and that extensive work would continue when those homes were occupied.
He added: "As Scotland's largest council landlord, we are well-placed to deliver the reinstatement of these homes and I look forward to welcoming people over the coming weeks."
Following the reinstatement of the first homes, the programme will expand in "the coming months" according to the council, with capacity for up to 200 homes.
'Super sponsor scheme'
Neil Gray, who serves as the Scottish government's minister for Ukrainian refugees, welcomed the move.
"We appreciate this contribution from North Lanarkshire Council. These homes will play a vital role in providing longer term accommodation and support to displaced people from Ukraine," he said.
"The council is to be commended for recognising the importance of assisting national efforts to home thousands of people fleeing the illegal war in Ukraine.
"The Scottish government and partners are providing practical support and a welcome to more than 4,500 displaced people through our super sponsor scheme.
"Ensuring we have a supply of safe, secure homes in partnership with councils, housing partners and individual host volunteers is a vital part of this work, and we are grateful to everyone who is supporting this." | https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-62113329?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=KARANGA | 2022-07-11T05:31:10Z | https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-62113329?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=KARANGA | true |
Estimated read time: 4-5 minutes
LAS VEGAS — The Orlando Magic led by 18 points with less than five minutes left in regulation of their NBA Summer League against the Sacramento Kings on Saturday, well on their way to a victory.
They wound up getting that win — after some very wild events down the stretch.
Emanuel Terry's layup off a pass from No. 1 pick Paolo Banchero gave the Magic a 94-92 victory in sudden-death overtime, capping a frantic finish to a game that had a little bit of everything in the final moments.
"That's a game I'll probably never, ever forget," Magic summer coach Jesse Mermuys said.
With good reason. Sacramento closed regulation on a 23-5 run, getting the last six of those points in the final 5.1 seconds on a pair of 3-pointers to force overtime.
The fun was just getting started.
Keon Ellis banked in a 3-pointer with 22 seconds left in the first 2-minute overtime, putting Sacramento up 92-89. But the Kings fouled Devin Cannady with 6.2 seconds left, and he swished all three free throws to tie it.
Ellis missed a short jumper with a second left in OT, and Cannady nearly won the game there with a 60-foot heave that bounced off the rim. That sent the teams to a second overtime, sudden death, first score wins.
Banchero was called for a foul on the first Sacramento possession and the Kings would have gone to the line to shoot free throws — but after a lengthy review, the call was overturned. Orlando got the ball, Banchero found Terry down low, and the Magic got their winner.
"This was one of the most fun games I've ever been a part of," Cannady said. "I've played in the NCAA Tournament, obviously I've played in NBA games, but this was basketball at its purest."
Banchero scored 23 points for the Magic and had six rebounds, six assists and four steals. Admiral Schofield scored 14 points for Orlando.
Neemias Queta topped Sacramento with 23 points. Keegan Murray, the No. 4 pick, scored 20 points and grabbed nine rebounds. Queta hit the first 3-pointer in the final moments of regulation to give Sacramento a chance, and Murray made the tying one with two-tenths of a second remaining.
RAPTORS 97, 76ERS 77
Armoni Brooks made five 3-pointers and scored 25 points, Delano Banton added 21 and Toronto breezed to a victory over Philadelphia.
Christian Koloko, the Raptors' only pick in this year's draft, added 12 points and seven rebounds. The No. 33 overall pick added three steals and three blocks.
Isaiah Joe buried 7 of 9 shots from 3-point range, scoring 24 points to pace the Sixers.
HEAT 88, CELTICS 78
Mychal Mulder scored 23 points to help Miami beat Boston.
Mulder made 5 of 8 shots from 3-point range for the Heat. Serbia's Nikola Jovic, the 27th overall selection and Miami's only pick in the draft, missed two free throws and his only shot attempt. He grabbed four rebounds in just under 14 minutes of action.
Matt Ryan topped Boston with 15 points, and Mfiondu Kabengele had 14. JD Davison, the Celtics' only pick in the draft (53rd overall), finished with 10 points, six rebounds and six assists.
PISTONS 105, WIZARDS 99
Isaiah Livers scored 20 points in Detroit's victory over Washington.
Jalen Duren, the 13th overall pick whom the Pistons acquired in a draft-day trade with Charlotte, had 13 points and six rebounds. Jaden Ivey, the fifth overall selection, scored 11 points in a little over five minutes of action before leaving because of a sprained right ankle.
Jordan Schakel had 24 points, and Jordan Goodwin had 20 to pace Washington. Johnny Davis — the 10th overall pick — finished with six points and five rebounds.
JAZZ 72, HAWKS 66
Jared Butler had 15 points and seven assists to lead Utah past Atlanta.
Kofi Cockburn added 13 rebounds and six points for the Jazz.
Chaundee Brown Jr. scored 15 poins to lead Atlanta. Justin Tillman added 12. A.J. Griffin, the Hawks' top pick at No. 16, did not play.
ROCKETS 90, THUNDER 88
No. 17 overall pick Tari Eason made the second of two free throws with 4.1 seconds left and Houston held off Oklahoma City.
Eason finished with 14 points and 11 rebounds for the Rockets. No. 3 overall pick Jabari Smith had 12 points, nine rebounds and four steals. Josh Christopher had 19 points, nine rebounds and five assists.
Jalen Williams, one of OKC's three first-round draft picks, topped the Thunder with 15 points. No. 2 overall pick Chet Holmgren had 12 points, eight rebounds and four blocks. Ousmane Dieng — the 11th overall selection acquired in a trade with the Knicks — added 10 points and six rebounds.
CLIPPERS 94, GRIZZLIES 76
Reggie Perry had 17 points and Brandon Boston Jr. scored 15 to lead Los Angeles past Memphis.
Second-rounder Moussa Diabate, the Clippers' only pick in the draft, had 10 points and six rebounds.
Kenneth Lofton Jr. topped Memphis with 18 points. First-round pick David Roddy had 10.
TRAIL BLAZERS 85, PELICANS 68
Trendon Watford had 17 points, 11 rebounds and five assists to power Portland past New Orleans.
Second-round pick Jabari Walker finished with 12 points and five rebounds for the Trail Blazers.
Trey Murphy III had 23 points, eight rebounds and four steals for the Pelicans. No. 8 overall pick Dyson Daniels missed all five of his shots and 1 of 2 free throws. Second-rounder E.J. Liddell scored two points on 1-for-6 shooting.

The quickly changing coronavirus has spawned yet another super contagious omicron mutant that’s worrying scientists as it gains ground in India and pops up in numerous other countries, including the United States.
Scientists say the variant – called BA.2.75 – may be able to spread rapidly and get around immunity from vaccines and previous infection. It’s unclear whether it could cause more serious disease than other omicron variants, including the globally prominent BA.5.
“It’s still really early on for us to draw too many conclusions,” said Matthew Binnicker, director of clinical virology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. “But it does look like, especially in India, the rates of transmission are showing kind of that exponential increase." Whether it will outcompete BA.5, he said, is yet to be determined.
Still, the fact that it has already been detected in many parts of the world even with lower levels of viral surveillance “is an early indication it is spreading,” said Shishi Luo, head of infectious diseases for Helix, a company that supplies viral sequencing information to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The latest mutant has been spotted in several distant states in India, and appears to be spreading faster than other variants there, said Lipi Thukral, a scientist at the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research-Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology in New Delhi. It’s also been detected in about 10 other countries, including Australia, Germany, the United Kingdom and Canada. Two cases were recently identified on the West Coast of the U.S., and Helix identified a third U.S. case last week.
Fueling experts’ concerns are a large number of mutations separating this new variant from omicron predecessors. Some of those mutations are in areas that relate to the spike protein and could allow the virus to bind onto cells more efficiently, Binnicker said.
Another concern is that the genetic tweaks may make it easier for the virus to skirt past antibodies — protective proteins made by the body in response to a vaccine or infection from an earlier variant.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
But experts say vaccines and boosters are still the best defense against severe COVID-19. In the fall it’s likely the U.S. will see updated formulations of the vaccine being developed that target more recent omicron strains.
“Some may say, ‘Well, vaccination and boosting hasn’t prevented people from getting infected.’ And, yes, that is true,” he said. “But what we have seen is that the rates of people ending up in the hospital and dying have significantly decreased. As more people have been vaccinated, boosted or naturally infected, we are starting to see the background levels of immunity worldwide creep up.”
It may take several weeks to get a sense of whether the latest omicron mutant may affect the trajectory of the pandemic. Meanwhile Dr. Gagandeep Kang, who studies viruses at India’s Christian Medical College in Vellore, said the growing concern over the variant underlines the need for more sustained efforts to track and trace viruses that combine genetic efforts with real world information about who is getting sick and how badly. “It is important that surveillance isn’t a start-stop strategy,” she said.
Luo said BA.2.75 is another reminder that the coronavirus is continually evolving – and spreading.
“We would like to return to pre-pandemic life, but we still need to be careful,” she said. “ We need to accept that we’re now living with a higher level of risk than we used to.”

A group of top soccer clubs face Champions League organizer UEFA in court on Monday for a legal match that risks the biggest upheaval in European soccer for more than 25 years.
The Super League project failed at launch 15 months ago but the company formed by the 12 rebel clubs — now led by Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus — has brought a case to the Court of Justice of the European Union in Luxembourg.
Judges from 15 of the 27 EU member states will hear arguments over two days with a majority of those national governments supporting UEFA.
The clubs will accuse UEFA of alleged abuses of market dominance with control of soccer competitions that breach European law.
UEFA’s defense is that it protects the special place of sports in European society by running competitions in a pyramid structure open to all and funding the grass roots of the game.
A ruling is unlikely this year and will not affect the Super League clubs playing in UEFA competitions from September. Ten are in the Champions League groups with Manchester United and Arsenal in the second-tier Europa League.
It is the Luxembourg court’s most anticipated sports decision since the so-called Bosman Ruling in 1995.
Sports
In partnership with NBC Sports Philadelphia
That case upended soccer’s transfer system, drove up pay for top players and ultimately accelerated a wealth and competitive divide between rich clubs and the rest.
Now, some of those same clubs that built revenues and global brands playing in the Champions League want freedom from UEFA control to run their own competition like an American sports league.
SUPER LEAGUE PROJECT
Since the 1990s, European soccer clubs used breakaway threats as leverage over UEFA to force changes to the Champions League.
That strategy secured more entries (currently four guaranteed places for each of England, Spain, Italy and Germany), prize money weighted toward them, extra games starting in 2024 and more say in overseeing UEFA competitions.
Those gains were not enough to stop 12 clubs launching the European Super League near midnight on a Sunday in April 2021. Crucially, the six English, three Italian and three Spanish clubs could not persuade Germany's Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund or Qatar-backed Paris Saint-Germain to join their rebellion.
It broke the European Clubs Asociation’s signed working deal with UEFA, plus UEFA’s legal statute that outlaws “prohibited groupings” of clubs in an unauthorized competition.
The Super League was to be a seasonlong, 20-team competition “as soon as practicable” to compete with the Champions League. It would play on midweeks with 15 teams getting permanent status as founders and five more accepted year-by-year.
The project was backed by bank JP Morgan with an initial 4 billion euros ($4.08 billion). The Champions League currently shares annual prize money of 2 billion euros ($2.04 billion) among 32 clubs.
The 12 rebels blamed the COVID-19 pandemic for economic instability and said they would create more high-quality matches to financially support themselves and the “overall football pyramid.”
With hindsight, a better plan would have been a multi-division competition open to clubs from more countries with promotion and relegation between the tiers. A revised proposal is likely soon.
The original project collapsed within two days when the English clubs withdrew amid a fan backlash and government threats of legislation. They were quickly joined by Atlético Madrid, AC Milan and Inter Milan.
MADRID COURT REFERRAL
The febrile 48 hours from April 18-20 last year was also during the annual meeting of UEFA’s 55 member federations, held in Montreux, Switzerland.
UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin denounced “snakes” and “liars ” and wanted any club not renouncing the Super League kicked out of UEFA competitions “as soon as possible.”
But the Spain-based Super League company got an interim ruling from commercial court No. 17 in Madrid. A judge blocked UEFA disciplinary action and asked the European court to interpret whether UEFA breached articles relating to EU competition law.
UEFA tried to remove the judge, Manuel Ruíz de Lara, alleging “clear bias” and disputed his court’s jurisdiction.
Still, the Madrid court ensured UEFA will be in Luxembourg, after Real Madrid went on to win the Champions League, and UEFA's settlement deals with the nine repentant clubs could not be finalized.
LUXEMBOURG COURT
The Court of Justice of the European Union takes referrals from national courts to ensure consistent application of EU law.
The potential consequences of the case mean it will be heard by the Grand Chamber — a full bench of 15 judges.
After the court set an October deadline for written submissions, 16 national governments intervened to support the so-called “ European Sports Model.”
About 20 governments should take part in court on Monday afternoon. An all-day session Tuesday deals with judges’ questions to the parties.
The court is soon in summer recess and its next word on the case is expected no sooner than September. The court’s advocate general will give a non-binding opinion that indicates the judges’ thinking but is not decisive.
A binding judgment will take several more months.
OLYMPIC SPORTS
The result in Luxembourg is keenly awaited in Lausanne, Switzerland, where the International Olympic Committee is a long-time lobbyist for sports bodies’ rights to run their own affairs.
A win for the Super League clubs will affect all Olympic sports, whose revenues are typically tiny compared to soccer. Some governing bodies could face existential threats from commercial operators creating rival events.
One such case is heard Monday morning by the same Grand Chamber of 15 judges.
The International Skating Union has its appeal hearing against the European Commission in a long-running antitrust case initially won by two Dutch speedskaters.
The skaters challenged the ISU over threats of life bans for wanting to compete at a commercial event in Dubai.
A key difference is speed skaters have few chances to earn money in a less wealthy sport. UEFA has not tried to ban players and the Super League clubs have revenues counted in hundreds of millions. | https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/sports/super-league-clubs-face-uefa-in-soccers-big-legal-match/3295329/ | 2022-07-11T05:59:16Z | https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/sports/super-league-clubs-face-uefa-in-soccers-big-legal-match/3295329/ | true |

SAN DIEGO — Alex Wood took a no-hitter into the sixth inning, and Wilmer Flores had two home runs among his four hits and four RBIs in a 12-0 rout of the San Diego Padres. The Giants have been scuffling for three weeks but dominated the Padres in taking the final two games of the four-game series. Wood's brilliant effort Sunday followed Carlos Rodón's dominant performance Saturday, when he struck out 12 in a three-hitter. Wood walked All-Star Manny Machado with one out in the first and didn't allow another baserunner until rookie C.J. Abrams stroked an opposite-field single to left on the left-hander's second pitch of the sixth.

Abelacimab is a dual-acting fully human monoclonal antibody targeting both Factor XI and Factor XIa with high affinity and selectivity
Earlier this year abelacimab became the first-ever Factor XI inhibitor to begin enrolling patients in a Phase 3 trial (The ASTER Study)
The AZALEA-TIMI 71 trial in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) also remains ongoing after having completed enrollment with 1,287 patients
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Anthos Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing innovative therapies for cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Fast Track Designation to its investigational Factor XI inhibitor, abelacimab, for the treatment of thrombosis associated with cancer. The company will also be announcing this important milestone today at a session of the ongoing 2022 Congress of the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) Congress in London, UK.
The Fast Track Designation process is designed to facilitate the development and expedite the review of treatments for serious medical conditions, thereby, addressing unmet medical needs. Drugs that are included in this program may be eligible for more frequent interactions with the FDA to discuss the development path, and if the program criteria are met, eligibility for a potential Rolling Review, Accelerated Approval, and Priority Review.
Venous Thromboembolism (VTE), including both deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, is the second most prevalent cause of death in patients with cancer, second only to the disease itself.1 However, treatment of Cancer Associated Thrombosis (CAT) can be challenging because the currently available anticoagulants used to treat VTE can have an increased risk of bleeding.2,3
"We believe that abelacimab has the potential to provide patients with cancer associated thrombosis an enhanced safety profile and overall low risk of bleeding, without sacrificing any efficacy of currently available agents. This unmet need is particularly true in patients with gastrointestinal / genitourinary (GI/GU) cancers who are at an even higher risk of bleeding and can be further burdened by the inconvenience of daily injections," said Dan Bloomfield, Chief Medical Officer at Anthos Therapeutics. "Fast track designation by the FDA is a significant milestone for abelacimab and Anthos Therapeutics, but more importantly represents another hopeful step forward for patients. We look forward to working closely with the FDA on our clinical trial program to bring once-monthly abelacimab to patients in need."
"Caring for cancer patients is a delicate and complex process, requiring a fine balance between the risks and benefits of their anticoagulant treatments. Managing thrombosis episodes is of the utmost importance for physicians, patients, and their caregivers, as untreated blood clots or bleeding episodes associated with currently available anticoagulants, can have dire consequences," said Jean Marie Connors, M.D., Associate Professor of Hematology at Harvard Medical School. "The hemostasis sparing potential of FXI inhibitors, such as abelacimab, may represent an important treatment advance in how we manage patients moving forward."
About the Abelacimab Phase 3 Program in Cancer Associated Thrombosis (CAT)
The abelacimab phase 3 CAT program comprises two complementary studies targeting to enroll approximately 2700 patients across 220 sites in more than 20 countries -- the largest program of any anticoagulant performed in Cancer-Associated Thrombosis.
ASTER is an international multicenter, randomized, open-label, blinded endpoint evaluation, phase 3 study comparing the effect of abelacimab relative to apixaban on venous thromboembolism (VTE) recurrence and bleeding in patients with cancer associated VTE in whom DOAC treatment is recommended. Abelacimab 150 mg will be administered intravenously (IV) on Day 1 and subcutaneously (SC) monthly thereafter for up to 6 months; Apixaban 10 mg will be administered orally, twice daily (bid) for the first 7 days, followed by 5 mg bid up to 6 months. Enrollment in this trial began in May 2022.
MAGNOLIA is an international multicenter, randomized, open-label, blinded endpoint evaluation, phase 3 study in patients with gastrointestinal (GI) / genitourinary (GU) cancer in whom DOAC treatment is not recommended. The study will compare the effect of abelacimab relative to dalteparin on VTE recurrence and bleeding in patients with cancer associated VTE who are at a high bleeding risk with non-resectable, locally or regionally invasive GI / GU tumors. Abelacimab 150 mg will be administered intravenously (IV) on Day 1 and subcutaneously (SC) monthly thereafter for up to 6 months; dalteparin administered subcutaneously will be given daily, 200 IU/kg/day for the first month, and then 150 IU/kg/day up to 6 months.
About the AZALEA-TIMI 71 Phase 2 Trial
The AZALEA-TIMI 71 trial is an event-driven, randomized, active-controlled, blinded endpoint, parallel-group study to evaluate the effect of two blinded doses of abelacimab relative to open label rivaroxaban on the rate of major or clinically relevant non-major (CRNM) bleeding events in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who are at moderate-to-high risk of stroke. The trial completed enrollment in December 2021, with 1287 patients across 95 global study sites including the U.S., Canada, as well as from parts of Europe, and Asia.
About Abelacimab
Abelacimab is a novel, highly selective, fully human monoclonal antibody designed to induce effective hemostasis-sparing anticoagulation through Factor XI inhibition. Abelacimab targets the active domain of Factor XI, demonstrating dual inhibitory activity against both Factor XI and its activated form, Factor XIa. Abelacimab can be administered intravenously (IV) to achieve rapid inhibition of Factor XI activity and then used subcutaneously (SC) monthly to maintain nearly complete inhibition in a chronic setting. In a PK/PD study, abelacimab administered IV provided profound suppression of Factor XI within one hour after the start of therapy and maintained near maximal inhibition for up to 30 days. 4,5 In a Phase 2 study whose results were published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2021, a single intravenous dose of abelacimab after knee surgery reduced the rate of venous thromboembolism by 80%, measured 10 days after surgery, compared to enoxaparin.4 Factor XI inhibition offers the promise of hemostasis-sparing anticoagulation for the prevention and treatment of arterial and venous thromboembolic events.6 Abelacimab is an investigational agent and has not been approved for any indication.

South Downs Way: Half-century marked with commemorative plaques and beer
- Published
Commemorative plaques and a specially-brewed beer will help mark the 50th anniversary of the South Downs Way.
The picturesque 100-mile chalk path, between Winchester in Hampshire and Eastbourne in East Sussex, was officially opened on 15 July 1972.
The beer is being produced by the Long Man Brewery in Litlington, East Sussex.
Plaques will be put up in all 66 parishes along the hilltop route, which takes in chalky peaks and white cliffs.
The path's highest point is Butser Hill in Hampshire at 271m (889ft) and it follows a route thought to have been used for 8,000 years, with a series sites of iron age forts dotted along it.
Plaques will be attached to finger posts directing walkers and cyclists.
The countryside surrounding the path is chalk grassland, which can have up to 40 different wildflowers and more than 20 different butterfly species in a single square metre.
Andy Gattiker, National Trails & Rights of Way Lead, said: "The beauty of the trail is that it offers something for everyone, whether it's an interesting day-trip, short break or a week-long ramble.
"We couldn't maintain the route without the help of dedicated volunteers, who get involved in surveying, practical work, helping at public events and administration, so a big thank you to them as we celebrate this birthday."

Nawaqanitawase, Salakaia-Loto called into Wallabies squad
SYDNEY, July 11 (Reuters) - Australia have called winger Mark Nawaqanitawase and lock Lukhan Salakaia-Loto into their squad for the series-deciding third test against England after suffering a heavy injury toll in the 25-17 loss in Brisbane at the weekend. Nawaqanitawase will return home from Fiji, where he has been playing for Australia A in the Pacific Nations Cup, while Salakaia-Loto is available only because a visa delay prevented him from departing for English club Northampton. Salakaia-Loto, who has played 30 tests for Australia before falling out of favour, comes in as injury cover for a severely depleted corps of second-row forwards. Cadeyrn Neville suffered a suspected MCL knee injury in Brisbane, Jed Holloway is suffering from a calf injury and Darcy Swain is serving a two-match ban after being showed a red card in the first test victory in Perth. The stocks of outside backs have also dwindled after Tom Banks broke his forearm in the opening test, Andrew Kellaway suffered a hamstring strain in training and Jordan Petaia was lost to a head knock early on in the Brisbane test. Izaia Perese, normally a centre, came on for Petaia only to be forced off the pitch by a knee injury just after the start of the second half. Nawaqanitawase, 21, is uncapped but is coming off a breakout season at the New South Wales Waratahs in Super Rugby. Wallabies coach Dave Rennie was forced to make seven changes to his matchday 23 for the second test and the depth of his squad will be tested again when he names his team on Thursday.
