NEW YORK , July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Creatd, Inc. (Nasdaq CM: CRTD) ("Creatd" or the "Company"), the parent company of Creatd Ventures, is pleased to announce its participation in Amazon's Prime Day program for the very first time. For Creatd Venture's product-based businesses, Amazon's Prime Day program will provide a lucrative additional income stream and the opportunity to reach a wider audience.
Creatd's portfolio of consumer product goods currently consists of three creator-driven brands, all of which originated during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was during this same time that creators began increasingly experimenting with launching their own product lines—converting the trust they cultivated with audiences into commerce. Creatd recognized the market opportunity for creators, as well as the obstacles that many of them would face in building out the necessary infrastructure to support it.
Creatd Ventures, which was established in 2021, combines audience insights and a shared services operating model to lower the barrier to entry for creator-led commerce to thrive. The pillar has grown since its launch through the acquisition of consumer product goods (CPG) brands, whose growth is then unlocked using a proven supply chain management process, data analysis and application, and strategic partnerships fostered through Creatd's established brand and creator network. Given the current market conditions, the Company is actively discussing potential acquisition opportunities with a number of CPG founders that are facing the operational headwinds that are pervading today's market.
Commented Creatd Ventures' CEO, Thomas Punch, "Coming off of two consecutive record quarters of CPG revenue growth, there is tremendous upside in participating in programs like Prime Day to ramp up visibility and distribution across our portfolio of brands. Additionally, our management team is fielding investment proposals from numerous interested investors looking to expand their portfolios in what is becoming a rapidly evolving consolidation play. They recognize the fact that, as a strategic partner, Creatd adds significantly more than a financial life preserver. In fact, it is only through a multi-prong framework such as ours that brands are able to access actionable audience insights and leverage influencer relationships in one fell swoop. The missing pieces that we provide to CPG brands are, quite literally, solutions to some of the most difficult obstacles plaguing brands in this current market environment."
Currently, two of the inaugural Creatd Ventures brands—Camp and Basis—are available on Amazon. As part of the Prime Day offer, Amazon members will receive a 50% discount on Camp products as well as a 30% discount on Basis hydration packets. Both brands have seen consistent revenue growth over the last quarter, and the Company looks forward to following up this success with the upcoming launch of its third brand, Dune, on Amazon. At the same time, all three brands continue to receive significant interest from well-known retailers such as Urban Outfitters and Erewhon Market, which have successfully incorporated Creatd Ventures brands into their product lineups. These relationships have led to further conversations with numerous online and brick-and-mortar merchants such as CVS, Shoprite, and Walmart, which the Company expects will lead to further retail launches in the coming months.

There’s a trend for experts who’ve yet to test positive for Covid to explain their disease virginity on social media, detailing all the steps they’ve taken to evade the increasingly pervasive virus. Covid virginity is becoming more special now that it describes a shrinking minority. The lucky few, like weight-loss gurus, are only too happy to share their secrets to success.
Some sound quite reasonable, such as virologist Angela Rasmussen, who tweeted that despite resuming travel to scientific conferences, she’s remained uninfected by wearing high quality masks when warranted, skipping the hotel gym, eating outdoors and walking instead of cabbing if possible.
Others are more extreme, such as the expert who Tweeted that, among other measures, he sealed his N95 tightly on his face for the entire trip from the U.S. to Australia. He never removed it even to take a sip of water.
But one piece of advice almost no one is giving? Be lucky. Pediatrician Neil Stone says that there’s no “secret” for staying Covid-19 free because there’s just too much luck involved.
He has a point. And indeed, UCSF oncologist and epidemiologist Vinay Prasad told me he “did everything wrong” and still hasn’t had Covid. He’s like those people who stay skinny while eating all kinds of junk food.
As for me, I have some data that can, to an extent, quantify and explain my own good luck in avoiding Covid so far. I’m participating in a study on immunity which allowed me to learn that my blood still carries loads of antibodies induced by my vaccine and December booster shot, and no signs of any prior infection. Not everyone’s antibodies wane at the same rate, and in some people, the antibodies don’t wane much at all. (At some point it should become routine to collect this information to help people decide whether to get additional booster shots.)
My high level of vaccine antibodies probably explains my success more than my behavior. I make some effort to avoid Covid, but have been far from perfect. And I’ve been potentially exposed at least twice: Once last December, when someone at a small holiday gathering I’d attended developed symptoms the next day, and more recently, when I shared a large indoor space with two people who later tested positive. But according to my lab work, I’ve never had even a silent infection.
It’s possible I was protected by my high antibodies, or that some quirk of air flow meant I never breathed in enough virus to get sick. Or perhaps I benefited from a different form of luck. There’s another facet to immunity called the innate immune system, which acts as a first line of defense and sometimes knocks out a virus or other pathogen before it replicates enough to elicit the production of antibodies. Good innate immunity might help explain something many of us have experienced — not getting a cold or flu even when sleeping in the same bed with the sick person through the whole illness.
Stress, diet, general health and even sunlight might all affect innate immunity. So could other factors. There’s so much we still don’t know about the immune system. And that’s one reason we talk about “luck.” Yes, people like me are lucky — but understanding how the luck works could help other people avoid Covid, whether for the first time or for the second or third time. Taking a closer look at what passed for luck helped researchers like Gary Taubes discover that public health had obesity all wrong, and the standard high carb/low fat diets were causing people to gain weight.
I expect that BA.5 will be the one that gets me, since it’s growing big here in the US, and it’s better than any other variant at sliding past antibodies induced by past infections or vaccines. But until then, I can still tell you how I’ve managed to stay thin.

Subway has a new recipe for success: fewer stores and a bigger menu.
It’s a big change for Subway, which is known for letting customers build their own sandwiches. Trevor Haynes, Subway’s North America president, said the company saw the need to simplify after a growing amount of digital order data showed 50% of customers always build the same sandwich.
Haynes said the new sandwiches __ winnowed down from hundreds of options __ also highlight Subway’s upgraded ingredients, which arrived in U.S. stores last summer. That change helped Subway __ which is privately held __ achieve record sales in 2021.
It’s all part of a much-needed refresh for Milford, Connecticut-based Subway, which has been losing market share to fast-growing rivals like Panera and Firehouse Subs. Subway controlled 28% of the U.S. sandwich and deli market in 2021, down from 34% in 2017, according to Technomic.
Haynes, who joined Subway in 2006 in his native Australia, spoke with The Associated Press about changes at the chain. His answers have been edited for length.
Q. What was behind the adoption of the Subway Series menu?
A. We tested this extensively in several markets across the U.S. The franchisees just found it was a great way for guests to go through the restaurant without having all the questions. It was just easier for the guest and easier for the sandwich artist to make the sandwich. Now, of course, if you want to have a turkey sandwich and you want to load it up with whatever you want to load it up with, you can absolutely do that. We’re not taking customization away. It is still there. But the guest today has told us that they want us to change. They want us to make it easier for them.
Q. Subway had its best sales week since 2013 last year when it introduced its upgraded ingredients. How did the word get out so quickly?
A. The franchisees became very confident with it quickly. They started to see how their guests reacted to it when their friends and family came in and tried it. And that’s a big part of it. Within a franchised system, you need the franchisees to believe, engage and want it. This year, across May and June, we’ve broken that record two or three times since. And when we launched that program we put a lot of effort behind the media. We had Tom Brady, we had Serena Williams, we had Megan Rapinoe, Steph Curry, an all-star lineup. And that encouraged the franchisees to sit back and say, “Hey, we’re a big brand. These are big names. I better get behind this.”
Q. Subway has closed more than 5,100 U.S. stores since 2017, and yet the company is posting record sales. Why?
A. I think when you look at the portfolio, where we may have had locations for 30 or 40 years, retail precincts change. What was the best mall in town 30 years ago may not be the best mall in town today. The general U.S. retail landscape is changing dramatically, so we’ve been moving locations and reconfiguring markets. There could be markets where we had three restaurants and we’ve reconfigured into one or two, but that one or two has a drive-thru or bigger floor space. Before, we were very focused just on restaurant count. Today we’re very focused on the type of restaurant that we have and really working with franchisees to relocate from some of those older locations to newer, more vibrant retail areas.
Q. You worked for Subway in Australia and the U.K. before coming to the U.S. How do you think that overseas experience informs your work?
A. It does give you a different sense of, you know, just being more open to new ideas or different ways of thinking, having met with people from very different backgrounds. I think it’s been very helpful. You understand what works well in Subway and what may not work well in Subway. I think having that international experience just gives you a different way of looking and maybe a bit more of a broad perspective.
Q. What’s your favorite Subway Series sandwich?
A. So it’s a chicken build with garlic, the Great Garlic. I absolutely love it. I like strong flavors. | https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/insider-qanda-subway-north-america-president-trevor-haynes/2022/07/11/7c65759a-0119-11ed-8beb-2b4e481b1500_story.html | 2022-07-11T14:19:38Z | https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/insider-qanda-subway-north-america-president-trevor-haynes/2022/07/11/7c65759a-0119-11ed-8beb-2b4e481b1500_story.html | false |

ORLANDO, Fla. – For Rep. Stephanie Murphy, D-Fla., investigating who was responsible for the riot at the U.S. Capitol Building is vital and personal.
“I know how fragile democracies are, and I know how lucky I am to live in the United States of America, where we have a vibrant democracy, but only if we as citizens are willing to commit to keeping it,” she told News 6. “That means that as an elected official, in this moment, I have an opportunity to provide the facts and the details, and to provide legislative recommendations to ensure that we don’t come this close again.”
[TRENDING: Florida park temporarily closes due to ‘aggressive alligator’ | Florida man tries to flee deputies on a riding lawn mower | Become a News 6 Insider (it’s free!)]
Murphy was not born a natural American citizen.
She was born in Vietnam to parents who eventually decided to escape the authoritarian government and moved to the U.S.
She grew up to work at the Department of Defense, where she focused on struggling democracies.
“Every democracy is a democracy until it isn’t, and it can happen fast,” she said.
On Tuesday, Murphy is reportedly ready to co-chair the Jan. 6 Select Committee hearing which will address the people and events that instigated the mob to storm the U.S. Capitol.
Thirty Central Florida residents have been arrested and charged in connection with the riot at the Capitol.
Some faced misdemeanor charges, while others faced the most serious charges, which include conspiracy to commit sedition.
That includes local members of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers.
Murphy would not comment on specific aspects of their investigation, but she did address the people who have come forward to help connect dots.
“Most of the witnesses have been Republicans -- Republicans that the President had chosen to be a part of his administration, Republicans that he had put in place in the judicial system,” she said. “These were Republicans who, despite being a part of his team, understood that there was a line that they weren’t willing to cross.”
Murphy said it is the select committee’s charge to lay out the facts of what led up to Jan. 6.
She said once the hearings are over, committee members will put forward legislative recommendations to put in” guardrails for our democracy.”
“(These recommendations are) to ensure that nobody in the future, whether they’re Democratic or Republican, can try to subvert the will of the American people,” she said. | https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2022/07/11/every-democracy-is-a-democracy-until-it-isnt-rep-stephanie-murphy-investigates-jan-6-riot/ | 2022-07-11T14:21:17Z | https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2022/07/11/every-democracy-is-a-democracy-until-it-isnt-rep-stephanie-murphy-investigates-jan-6-riot/ | false |

LONDON (AP) — London’s Heathrow Airport apologized Monday to passengers whose travels were disrupted by staff shortages and warned it may ask airlines to cut more flights from their summer schedules to reduce the strain if the chaos persists.
Heathrow, Britain’s busiest airport, said service levels have been unacceptable at times in recent weeks, with long lines for security, delays helping passengers with reduced mobility, and luggage going missing or arriving late.
“We want to apologize to any passengers who have been affected by this,” the airport said in a monthly traffic update.
Booming demand for summer travel after two years of COVID-19 travel restrictions have swamped airlines and airports in Europe, which have been left shorthanded after laying off many pilots, cabin crew, check-in staff, ground crew and baggage handlers.
At Heathrow, unclaimed luggage has piled up in arrivals because of a technical glitch in the baggage system.
Compounding the problem, Heathrow said the punctuality of arriving flights is “very low” because of delays at other airports and airspace congestion across Europe.
Heathrow said it started recruiting in November in anticipation of this summer’s recovery in travel demand and expects security staffing will be back to pre-pandemic levels by the end of July. It also has reopened Terminal 4 to give passengers more space.
U.K. airlines have been slashing their summer flight schedules after authorities ordered them to ensure they can operate without disruption over the summer. British Airways has cut 11% of its flights between April and October to avoid canceling flights on the day of departure.
Heathrow CEO John Holland-Kaye said the airport will review the airlines’ proposed cuts “and will ask them to take further action if necessary.”
Underlining Heathrow’s woes, the airport said in a separate statement that it ordered airlines operating in Terminals 3 and 5 to cancel 61 flights Monday because it was expecting more passengers there than it has capacity to serve. | https://www.cbs42.com/news/business/londons-heathrow-airport-apologizes-for-travel-disruptions/ | 2022-07-11T14:22:09Z | https://www.cbs42.com/news/business/londons-heathrow-airport-apologizes-for-travel-disruptions/ | false |

(The Hill) — Key players in former President Donald Trump’s last campaign have quietly distanced themselves from the president, raising real questions about who would staff his campaign as he edges closer to a bid for reelection in 2024.
Some key players from the 2020 campaign have even taken part in the Jan. 6 panel’s investigation into last year’s attack on the Capitol, underscoring the turmoil in Trump world over the last year.
The hearings have raised fresh questions within Republican circles about whether Trump is the best candidate for Republicans in a 2024 race for the White House, while reportedly propelling the ex-president toward a new bid.
Questions about who would run a new Trump campaign may miss the obvious.
The reality, multiple sources with ties to Trump’s orbit told The Hill, is the former president ultimately calls the shots and runs his own campaign. But those sources say there will likely be a mix of old and new faces if Trump formally launches a third presidential campaign.
“It’s one of those things I suspect we won’t know for sure until we know,” said one GOP operative.
One consensus name that those close to Trump believe will play a major role in any 2024 campaign is Susie Wiles, the chair of Trump’s Save America PAC.
Wiles managed Sen. Rick Scott’s (R-Fla.) first gubernatorial campaign and played a leading role in Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) statewide campaign. She also served as a strategist based in Florida for Trump’s 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns.
“She is very confident, very professional and kind of knows how to work with [Trump,]” one source told The Hill, adding that she would be a likely pick to handle key day-to-day decisions.
Taylor Budowich and Liz Harrington have served as spokespeople for Trump and his leadership PAC and could both work in similar roles on any campaign, sources said.
Donald Trump Jr., the president’s eldest son and a frequent presence on the campaign trail for Republicans, would also likely play an advisory role, sources said, but would be unlikely to take on an operational role like Jared Kushner did in previous campaigns.
Kushner, the president’s son-in-law and former White House senior adviser, played a major role in shaping campaign strategy in 2020. But he has also kept some distance from Trump in the two years since leaving Washington, D.C.
Kushner is one of several former White House and campaign aides whose testimony has been featured in public hearings held by the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
The president’s son-in-law and daughter, Ivanka Trump, were both featured talking about how they were focused on other matters in the weeks after the 2020 election, seemingly distancing themselves from the former president’s claims of widespread fraud.
Trump later posted on his social media network, Truth Social, that Ivanka had “checked out” and wasn’t interested in looking at the election results.
Jared and Ivanka have publicly tried to stay out of the spotlight and keep their distance from the former president in the past two years. One source said they would expect Jared Kushner not to take on as pivotal of a role as previous campaigns if Trump runs again, but noted that he’s family and would likely find a way to insert himself into the operation.
Multiple other prominent members of Trump’s 2020 team have been recurring players in the House Jan. 6 hearings.
Jason Miller, Justin Clark and former Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien have all had their closed-door deposition played during public hearings, where they have talked about their disagreements with Trump’s claims of fraud and their uneasiness with the legal strategy he ultimately pursued.
But sources in Trump’s orbit argued that their testimony would not preclude some of those individuals from having a role in a potential 2024 campaign, should they want one.
While Stepien testified that he quietly stepped away from his job in January 2021 as Trump and his allies pursued baseless claims of widespread fraud to try and overturn the election, his firm has since advised several pro-Trump candidates.
Stepien is generally respected as a data-focused campaign adviser, while Clark worked with Trump and his team from the 2016 campaign, into the White House and on the 2020 trail.
“It wouldn’t surprise me if they both end up involved,” one source said.
Announcing sooner than later could give Trump a head start on potential other 2024 candidates in recruiting staff and building a campaign team. But strategists and former Trump aides have cautioned there are downsides to jumping into the race too soon.
Declaring as early as this summer would cap how many times Trump could go back to smaller donors in the two years until the 2024 convention, and it would trigger financial disclosure requirements. One former adviser also argued that by declaring too soon, Trump risks seeing his stock fall under renewed scrutiny, paving the way for potential challengers.
“I don’t see how declaring now changes the calculus of Ron DeSantis or another candidate from getting in the race,” the former adviser said. | https://www.cbs42.com/news/national/new-faces-begin-to-surface-as-possible-trump-2024-key-players/ | 2022-07-11T14:24:33Z | https://www.cbs42.com/news/national/new-faces-begin-to-surface-as-possible-trump-2024-key-players/ | true |
Controversial plans to create a commuter park-and-ride site on green fields near a village railway station may yet go ahead despite being thrown out by the local council over safety fears.
Stirling Developments have appealed to the Scottish Government to overturn West Lothian’s rejection of their plan for a 50 space car park near Kirknewton railway station.
Stirling Developments are building the Calderwood Core Development Area in East Calder, and Kirknewton - just over two miles south - is the nearest railway station. Four attempts have already been made to produce viable park and ride plans, but all have either been rejected by councillors or failed to make it off the drawing board.
READ MORE: West Lothian residents have last chance for say on possible parking charges
The latest plan - much reduced from earlier proposals to only 50 spaces- foundered earlier this year because no safe pathway could be made connecting the station to the car park site in what is an open field a few hundred yards away.
The site is bounded by a dangerous road junction and a narrow but busy B-road, including a level crossing alongside the Victorian station.
The A71 into Edinburgh is already busy with commuter traffic. Many of the new home owners already living in Calderwood have come from Edinburgh and commute into the city, and there were letters of support for the park and ride from Calderwood. Villagers claimed that newsletters by the developers suggested that the future build-out of Calderwood would not be viable if the Kirknewton facility did not go ahead.
A park and ride was a condition of the original consent for the Calderwood Development which will eventually see 2,300 homes on the eastern fringe of East Calder. While the plans have been developed Stirling has been running buses from Calderwood to the station for commuters.
More than 90 objections to the park and ride plans were raised by Kirknewton residents and the local community council however.
The July meeting of the Development Management Committee was given notice that an appeal had been submitted to the Scottish Government’s Division of Planning and Environmental Appeals, DPEA.

Already this year several high profile planning applications have won on appeal to the DPEA. July's meeting of the DMC was also given formal notification of the controversial plans to extend the Glen Turner Distillery building an additional 23 maturation warehouses on its site between Bathgate and Livingston had been approved by the DPEA despite comprehensive rejection by West Lothian councillors.
If the DPEA finds in favour of the plan the council would face hefty legal costs to challenge it.
Stirling had worked with planning officers, tweaking the proposals to make safer footpaths but, crucially, nothing could be done with the most dangerous and narrowest 45 metres of pavement, still leaving the footpath as narrow as 4ft - barely wide enough for two people to pass each other - in places. Only 60m of pavement could be improved.
Councillors on the DMC also fretted about the future. Only 900 homes have been built in Calderwood so far. Tom Kerr, the then Provost, speaking at the meeting which rejected the proposal, warned a park and ride could never be big enough whether it was for 50 cars or 500.
Villagers argued that adequate park and ride facilities exist at neighbouring stations including Livingston South - four miles and a ten-minute drive from East Calder. The Kirknewton site would also generate more short journey car traffic other Government policies are determined to discourage.
Linlithgow Councillor Tom Conn was critical of Network Rail’s refusal to engage with the developers to find a solution. The company, which manages the railway infrastructure, is determined to retain part of the site at Kirknewton station as a maintenance yard. Councillor Conn argued that the yard could be incorporated into the existing station car park.
A decision on the appeal is expected before the end of the year.

BEIJING, July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Glory Star New Media Group Holdings Limited, ("Glory Star" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: GSMG), a leading digital media platform and content-driven e-commerce company in China, today announced that it has entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Cheers Inc., an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands ("Parent"), and GSMG Ltd., an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub"). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the merger (the "Effective Time"), Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the "Merger").
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each ordinary share of the Company (each, a "Share") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than the Excluded Shares and the Dissenting Shares (each as defined in the Merger Agreement), will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive US$1.55 in cash without interest (the "Per Share Merger Consideration"). The Per Share Merger Consideration represents a premium of 76% over the Company's closing price of US$0.88 per Share on March 11, 2022, the last trading day prior to March 14, 2022, the date that the Company announced it had received a "going-private" proposal, and a premium of 46% to the volume-weighted average closing price of the Company's Shares during the 30 trading days prior to March 14, 2022. The Per Share Merger Consideration also represents an increase of approximately 22% over the US$1.27 per Share initially offered by Mr. Bing Zhang, the chief executive officer and chairman of the board of directors of the Company in his initial "going-private" proposal on March 13, 2022.
Immediately following the consummation of the merger, Parent will be beneficially owned by a group of rollover shareholders, including Mr. Bing Zhang, and certain financial investors (collectively, the "Buyer Group").
As of the date of the Merger Agreement, the Buyer Group beneficially owns, in the aggregate, approximately 72.8% of the outstanding Shares of the Company.
The Buyer Group intends to fund the Merger through a combination of cash contributions from certain members of the Buyer Group pursuant to their respective equity commitment letters and rollover equity contributions from the rollover shareholders.
The Company's board of directors, acting upon the unanimous recommendation of the special committee formed by the board of directors (the "Special Committee"), approved the Merger Agreement, and resolved to recommend that the Company's shareholders vote to authorize and approve the Merger Agreement and the Merger. The Special Committee, which is composed solely of independent directors of the Company who are unaffiliated with Parent, Merger Sub or any member of the Buyer Group or management of the Company, negotiated the terms of the Merger Agreement with the Buyer Group with the assistance of its independent financial and legal advisors.
The Merger, which is currently expected to close in the second half of 2022, is subject to various closing conditions, including a condition that the Merger Agreement be authorized and approved by a special resolution by the affirmative vote of shareholders representing at least two-thirds of the voting power of the issued and outstanding Shares present and voting in person or by proxy as a single class at an extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders in accordance with the Cayman Islands Companies Act (As Revised) and the current effective memorandum and articles of association of the Company. Pursuant to certain support agreements and voting proxies entered among the members of the Buyer Group and Parent, the Buyer Group has agreed to vote all the Shares beneficially owned by it in favor of the authorization and approval of the Merger Agreement and the Merger. If completed, the Merger will result in the Company becoming a privately-owned company wholly owned directly by Parent, and its Shares will no longer be listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
The Benchmark Company, LLC is serving as financial advisor to the Special Committee; Hogan Lovells is serving as U.S. legal counsel to the Special Committee; Mourant is serving as Cayman Islands legal counsel to the Special Committee.
China International Capital Corporation Hong Kong Securities Limited is serving as financial advisor to the Buyer Group; Latham & Watkins LLP is serving as U.S. legal counsel to the Buyer Group; Maples and Calder (Hong Kong) LLP is serving as Cayman Islands legal counsel to the Buyer Group.

SAN DIEGO (KSWB) — San Diego is known for many things including the area’s incredible beaches, near-perfect weather, Comic-Con, and Balboa Park, just to name a few. But “America’s Finest City” is also known for a large population of an adorable and incredibly protective creature: sea lions.
In a now-viral video posted to Tiktok, two ferocious sea lions can be seen taking on a large crowd of La Jolla Cove visitors who were getting a little too close for comfort to the animal locals.
Charlianne Yeyna, a Riverside County resident visiting San Diego for the weekend, said she decided to pick up her phone and start recording after noticing a woman attempting to take a picture of one of the sleeping sea lions. The sea lion woke up mid-picture and began to chase the woman in the direction of the large crowd on the beach, Yeyna said.
At least two dozen people can be seen running from the two sea lions as the animals quickly waddle across the sand toward the crowd.
Since being posted Saturday evening, the video has amassed more than 7.3 million views and 970,000 likes on the social media app.
Yeyna said that despite their aggressive approach, the animals went back into the water and no one appeared to be hurt.
According to the Dolphin Research Center, beaches and coves in Southern California are increasingly populated by sea lions during the months of May through July as this is the prime breeding time for the aquatic animals. | https://fox59.com/news/whats-trending/watch-sea-lions-chase-california-beachgoers/ | 2022-07-11T14:34:17Z | https://fox59.com/news/whats-trending/watch-sea-lions-chase-california-beachgoers/ | true |

CULVER CITY, Calif., July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Loomia Technologies is partnering with Advanced Functional Fabrics of America (AFFOA) to develop highly tactile, heated handwear that could be applicable to both commercial/recreational and military customers.
For this collaborative project, Loomia will provide technology to be used in a heated glove insert, while AFFOA will lead customer discovery, deliver system architecture designs, and produce an interface control unit. In addition to the heated glove insert, Loomia will also develop a heated sleeve. Both items will provide thermal comfort to users in harsh climates, or other areas where this protection is deemed necessary.
Loomia's patented e-textile technology is a soft, flexible circuit technology that can be embedded into a wide variety of fabrics and surfaces. The technology can provide lighting, heating, and sensing functionalities, and boasts customizable components and a lightweight integration. In the past, Loomia has worked with such companies as Hyundai and Analog Devices to create the foundational technology for soft goods products.
"Our soft, flexible circuits can give the users high dexterity while in cold environments," says Loomia's Founder, Madison Maxey. "Being able to use one's hands in subzero temperatures can be the difference between life or death, so we're excited to work with AFFOA on such an important application of electronic textiles."
AFFOA is a non-profit, public-private partnership with the mission to rekindle the textiles industry and enable revolutionary new system capabilities for commercial and defense applications. To catalyze the development of advanced functional fibers, AFFOA has assembled a Fabric Innovation Network (FIN) with 140+ members including startups, universities, manufacturers, commercial industry and defense partners.
"This project brings together members of AFFOA's Fabric Innovation Network to develop next generation product prototypes through an integrated systems approach," Said AFFOA CEO Alexander Stolyarov. "We hope that our collaboration results in a capability that can not only provide comfort to commercial and military users in cold climates but can also represent an opportunity to manufacture advanced textile products here in the US."

“The Mermaid of Black Conch” by Monique Roffey (Knopf)
David is a fisherman and Aycayia is a mermaid. It’s pretty obvious where the story goes from here: David falls for Aycayia. But author Monique Roffey isn’t giving us an endearing tale of love — this is a story of duality and curses.
“The Mermaid of the Black Conch” is a uniquely Caribbean novel with all the hallmarks of the genre presented in different manners. Roffey moves between a general narrator, David’s thickly Caribbean journal entries and broken stanzas of Aycayia’s free-form poetry.
Insidiously, David and Aycayia’s first meeting in 1976 is in Murder Bay. David is smitten by her strange beauty and Aycayia by his music.
David ceases fishing for fear of her entanglement in his nets, but his efforts backfire when Aycayia follows the sound of his motor out to a fishing competition and is ensnared by two Yankee men, intent on a stunning victory, which, it turns out, is the mermaid.
Upon learning of her capture, David plans to rescue Aycayia and return her to the sea. But his scheme falls apart when she begins to change back into a woman, the curse put on her by other jealous women from her Taino tribe apparently lifting after some 1,000 years.
When Aycayia is inadvertently introduced to Reggie, the only deaf person on the island, they form a deep, fast bond on the basis of their otherness in Black Conch society. The mermaid metaphor is applied to gender, disability and oppression throughout the book. They’re filed under “curse,” described as loneliness.
Sexual tension is constant throughout a story that, perversely, loses steam as it nears its climax. Roffey, however, makes up for a lackluster ending with the strong storytelling up to that point.
Vivid imagery, discussion-worthy themes, Creole verbiage and a melding of history and magic make “The Mermaid of the Black Conch” come to life. It’s a confluence of lore in which subtle details change depending on who is telling the story. Each has their own idea of what it is to be a man, a woman, the oppressor, the oppressed, or something in between worlds.
In representing so many so roundly, Roffey maintains a fine balancing act portraying identities that are not her own while connecting them to ones that are by their shared relationship: the push and pull that Aycayia comes to learn transcends the ocean, the bedroom and the human race to encapsulate nature as a whole.
The novel itself exhibits the same in-betweenness as its characters and author — who was born in Port of Spain, Trinidad, but lives in London — though “The Mermaid of the Black Conch” is far from cursed for it. Having won the Costa Book of the Year and the Costa Novel Award 2020, it seems Roffey has hit her stride with her fifth book, being re-released with its new accolades to adorn it. | https://www.sfgate.com/entertainment/article/Review-Mermaid-of-Black-Conch-melds-history-17296733.php | 2022-07-11T14:38:11Z | https://www.sfgate.com/entertainment/article/Review-Mermaid-of-Black-Conch-melds-history-17296733.php | false |

With GrowPods, food production can be take place virtually anywhere in the world
CORONA, Calif., July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Advanced Container Technologies, Inc (Ticker: ACTX), announced that GrowPods – transportable hydroponic farms - can help reduce global food shortages.
According to reporting in the Wall Street Journal, the war in Ukraine has disrupted global food supplies. Many people did not know that Ukraine is one of the world's leading exporters of several agricultural products.
Russia and Ukraine were major food suppliers before the war, and the conflict is causing pain across the developing world, spurring price shocks, constraining imports of basic commodities and causing food shortages.
António Guterres, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, warned that the war, along with other global crises, could lead to mass hunger and famine because of the impact on food production and prices around the world.
Guterres said tens of millions of people face food insecurity and malnutrition. "The war in Ukraine, on top of all the other global crises, threatens tens of millions of people with food insecurity, malnutrition, mass hunger & famine," he wrote.
Now, governments and community groups are now looking at alternative solutions to provide food to their citizens.
One area that is getting a lot of attention is modular hydroponic farms like GrowPods.
GrowPods can be placed virtually anywhere, and can grow the equivalent of three acres of traditional farmland in an automated environment. Some units have been configured to grow about 720 heads of lettuce each week, without pesticides, harmful chemicals, or risk of contamination.
With GrowPods, local communities can grow fresh, healthy food, without needing hundreds of acres of farmland or dozens of workers to tend the fields.
According to Doug Heldoorn, CEO of Advanced Container Technologies, GrowPods can be part of a move toward local, sustainable farming.
"Our modular hydroponic farms can provide healthy food where it is needed, and require minimal labor so that farming can be managed by just a few people with some basic training," Heldoorn said. "Additionally, a GrowPod can be set up in a matter of just days, so that food shortages can be reduced in just weeks, instead of months or years."

Iconic rotisserie kitchen presents the Future of Nuggets to all locations
GOLDEN, Colo., July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Boston Market is changing how you eat rotisserie chicken and nuggets. The future of nuggets is here and thanks to Boston Market, they're roasted, not fried. Today, the beloved family brand proudly announces the launch of its one and only, Rotisserie Chicken Nuggets, a healthier grab-and-go meal option that currently does not exist in the market and is packed with big flavor. The nugget innovation will be available at all 315 restaurants nationwide and can be ordered in either signature or spicy flavors.
Boston Market's Rotisserie Chicken Nuggets are prepared with 100-percent all-white meat, taken from the best part of the chicken, and portioned into bite-size pieces. No two are alike. The nuggets are marinated with Boston Market's renowned rotisserie chicken seasoning or spicy seasoning, depending on your tastebuds, to lock in flavor and make each bite as juicy as possible.
The all-white-meat pieces are made-to-order and roasted in our rotisserie oven, receiving the same treatment our customer-favorite chickens get thanks to a proprietary basket cooking method created by Boston Market. The basket allows the rotisserie oven heat to gently roast each and every nugget as it rotates, similar to what the rotisserie chickens do at our restaurant.
"The Rotisserie Chicken Nuggets will set the new standard for nuggets," said President and Chief Rotisserie Expert for Boston Market, Jay Pandya. "They are bigger than our competitors, healthier than fried alternatives, and packed with flavor—there is no other true rotisserie option on the market."
Boston Market brought this new innovative item to its menu to fill a void customers were searching for. Rotisserie Chicken Nuggets will cater to a new generation of consumers who are on the move and craving a product they can eat on the go.

A new chicken sandwich launched as part of Starbucks’ summer menu has flown the coop after customers claimed it gave them diarrhea, according to the New York Post.
Starbucks pulled the Chicken Maple Butter and Egg Sandwich from its menu on June 27, less than a week after it was launched on June 21.
The Post reports one TikToker revealed she tested positive for campylobacter after having the sandwich a few days before. Campylobacter infections are the most common bacterial cause of diarrheal illness in the United States, according to the CDC. The bacteria most commonly associated to raw chicken.
One person’s TikTok video said, “Suing for the worst diarrhea of my life. i have been living in my bathroom for 2 days now,” writes the Post.
Other people on social media complained of vomiting and stomach pain or said the sandwich was ice cold in the middle. Someone else said they bit into a bone.
In a statement provided to the Post, the coffee company said the sandwich “did not meet Starbucks’ quality standards.”
It issued a voluntary stop sell and discard to locations selling the sandwich.
Starbucks originally told (FOX59’s parent company) Nexstar the sandwich would be a permanent menu addition. | https://cbs4indy.com/news/national-world/starbucks-pulls-new-chicken-sandwich-after-diarrhea-complaints/ | 2022-07-11T14:42:45Z | https://cbs4indy.com/news/national-world/starbucks-pulls-new-chicken-sandwich-after-diarrhea-complaints/ | true |

- Siemens' advanced mixed-signal simulation platform accelerates mixed-signal verification and helps boost productivity
- Symphony Pro supports Accellera and other advanced digital verification methodologies for today's leading-edge mixed-signal designs
PLANO, Texas, July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- To address the design verification challenges of the world's most complex mixed-signal systems-on-chip (SoCs), Siemens Digital Industries Software today introduces the new Symphony™ Pro platform. This next generation solution extends the robust mixed-signal verification capabilities of Siemens' proven Symphony platform to support new and advanced Accellera standardized verification methodologies with a powerful, comprehensive and intuitive visual debug cockpit, resulting in productivity improvements of up to 10X compared to legacy solutions.
Next-generation automotive, imaging, IoT, 5G, computing and storage applications are driving strong demand for greater analog and mixed-signal content in next-generation SoCs. Mixed-signal circuits are increasingly ubiquitous -- whether it is integrating the analog signal chain with the digital-front end (DFE) in 5G massive-MIMO radios, digital RF-sampling data converters in radar systems, image sensors combining analog pixel read-out circuits with digital image signal processing or feeding datacenter computing resources with ever more data using advanced mixed-signal circuits to deliver PAM4 signaling. For these and other highly advanced applications, mixed-signal circuits enable lower power, area, and cost while delivering ever-improving performance figures.
"Mixed-Signal functional verification is increasingly vital for our sophisticated designs targeted for the imaging and automotive industries. We've participated in the early access program for Symphony Pro and have seen significant productivity gains thanks to advanced debugging capabilities and seamless support for multi-layer sandwich configurations in Symphony Pro," said Stephane Vivien, senior CAD manager, Imaging Division, STMicroelectronics. "We look forward to using Symphony Pro as our sign-off solution for present and future mixed-signal verification projects."
Increased application of digital control, digital calibration, and digital signal processing techniques in modern mixed-signal chip architectures is driving a paradigm shift in mixed-signal verification methodologies toward more digital-centric approaches. Siemens's new Symphony Pro platform -- built on the proven performance of Siemens' Symphony and Questa™ Visualizer platforms -- extends the rapid deployment of industry-standard Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) and Unified Power Format (UPF) driven low-power techniques into the mixed signal domain by offering fast simulation performance in a unified environment for exceptional throughput and capacity.
Modern mixed-signal SoCs integrate analog circuits with logic gates operating at very high clock speeds. This high frequency bi-directional signal flow at the boundary of analog and digital pushes the limit of manual debug methodologies impacting the overall time-to-results. Symphony Pro Visualizer MS environment offers a seamless debug experience across the entire mixed-signal design hierarchy with comprehensive analysis, automation, and ease-of-use for increased productivity.
"Our high-performance, energy-efficient chips designed for the IoT are analog intensive and mixed-signal in nature. To ensure high quality, we expanded our digital verification methodology to enable effective regression of our mixed-signal designs," said Jayanth Shreedhara, senior CAD manager at Silicon Labs. "Symphony Pro Visualizer mixed-signal technology accelerated debug turn-around time for our digital on top UVM test suites, enhancing our verification productivity from days to hours and dramatically improving our coverage closure."
"Our customers are rapidly advancing the state-of-the-art in mixed-signal SoC design across a wide range of applications, and in the process, they are driving the requirements for new innovations in the EDA tools required to design, verify, and validate these chips," said Ravi Subramanian, senior vice president of IC Verification at Siemens Digital Industries Software. "We are excited to deliver Symphony Pro, which combines our proven AFS, Questa and Visualizer technologies, to our customers, enabling the potential for them to realize key competitive advantages with a unified mixed-signal verification solution."

NEW YORK , July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Creatd, Inc. (Nasdaq CM: CRTD) ("Creatd" or the "Company"), the parent company of Creatd Ventures, is pleased to announce its participation in Amazon's Prime Day program for the very first time. For Creatd Venture's product-based businesses, Amazon's Prime Day program will provide a lucrative additional income stream and the opportunity to reach a wider audience.
Creatd's portfolio of consumer product goods currently consists of three creator-driven brands, all of which originated during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was during this same time that creators began increasingly experimenting with launching their own product lines—converting the trust they cultivated with audiences into commerce. Creatd recognized the market opportunity for creators, as well as the obstacles that many of them would face in building out the necessary infrastructure to support it.
Creatd Ventures, which was established in 2021, combines audience insights and a shared services operating model to lower the barrier to entry for creator-led commerce to thrive. The pillar has grown since its launch through the acquisition of consumer product goods (CPG) brands, whose growth is then unlocked using a proven supply chain management process, data analysis and application, and strategic partnerships fostered through Creatd's established brand and creator network. Given the current market conditions, the Company is actively discussing potential acquisition opportunities with a number of CPG founders that are facing the operational headwinds that are pervading today's market.
Commented Creatd Ventures' CEO, Thomas Punch, "Coming off of two consecutive record quarters of CPG revenue growth, there is tremendous upside in participating in programs like Prime Day to ramp up visibility and distribution across our portfolio of brands. Additionally, our management team is fielding investment proposals from numerous interested investors looking to expand their portfolios in what is becoming a rapidly evolving consolidation play. They recognize the fact that, as a strategic partner, Creatd adds significantly more than a financial life preserver. In fact, it is only through a multi-prong framework such as ours that brands are able to access actionable audience insights and leverage influencer relationships in one fell swoop. The missing pieces that we provide to CPG brands are, quite literally, solutions to some of the most difficult obstacles plaguing brands in this current market environment."
Currently, two of the inaugural Creatd Ventures brands—Camp and Basis—are available on Amazon. As part of the Prime Day offer, Amazon members will receive a 50% discount on Camp products as well as a 30% discount on Basis hydration packets. Both brands have seen consistent revenue growth over the last quarter, and the Company looks forward to following up this success with the upcoming launch of its third brand, Dune, on Amazon. At the same time, all three brands continue to receive significant interest from well-known retailers such as Urban Outfitters and Erewhon Market, which have successfully incorporated Creatd Ventures brands into their product lineups. These relationships have led to further conversations with numerous online and brick-and-mortar merchants such as CVS, Shoprite, and Walmart, which the Company expects will lead to further retail launches in the coming months.
About Creatd
Creatd, Inc. (Nasdaq CM: CRTD) is a company dedicated to unlocking creativity for creators, brands, and consumers. We accomplish this through Creatd's four business pillars: Creatd Labs, Creatd Partners, Creatd Ventures, and Creatd Studios.

The seed for #ZIMSLOVE was planted earlier this year when Lovelock and his team performed at Olson's daughter's wedding in the Dominican Republic. Upon meeting, the two men discovered "immediate synergies," said Lovelock, like their entrepreneurial drive and dedication to their families. They also bonded over their respective 10 years in business and a shared desire to grow their social-media presence.
Once back in the U.S., the pair decided that teaming up would "help take both of our businesses to the next level," said Olson. #ZIMSLOVE will do just that, delivering fun, entertaining, and informative marketing messages for vodka- and music-loving consumers, and producing events showcasing Lovelock's music and ZIMS highly awarded vodkas.

Bank credit offtake is expected to pick up following normalisation of economic activities aided by the government thrust on public expenditure in current fiscal year, a report said. According to the
Care Edge report, the gross non-performing assets (
GNPA) ratio hit a six-year low of 5.9% in FY22 but remained above the pre-asset quality review of 2015-16.
However, it said, India's
NPA ratio is one of the highest among the comparable countries despite gradual decline.
Non-performing loans eased in advanced economies due to continued deleveraging, and institutional and government intervention, it said.
As the Indian economy has navigated the pandemic-induced shocks, it said, the bank
credit growth by scheduled commercial banks (SCBs) improved post-August 2021 to reach 13.1% in early June 2022, a rate last recorded in March 2019.
Apart from retail, the major driver of this growth has been the wholesale credit, which reported double-digit growth after witnessing a significant slowdown last year, it said.
After a modest credit growth in recent years, it said, "the outlook for bank credit offtake is positive due to the economic expansion tracking nominal GDP growth, rise in government and private capital expenditure, rising commodity prices, implementation of the
PLI scheme, the extension of ECLGS for MSME and retail credit push."
RBI in its latest
Financial Stability Report said bad loans of banks are expected to further decline to 5.3% of total advances by March 2023 from a six-year low on the back of growth in credit and declining trend in the stock of
NPAs.
The RBI further said if the macroeconomic environment worsens to a medium or severe stress scenario, the GNPA ratio may rise to 6.2% and 8.3%, respectively.
"At the bank group level too, the GNPA ratios may shrink by March 2023 in the baseline scenario," it said.
In the severe stress scenario, however, the GNPA ratios of public sector banks (PSBs) may increase from 7.6% in March 2022 to 10.5% a year later. The GNPA ratios would go up from 3.7% to 5.7% for private sector banks and 2.8% to 4% for foreign banks over the same period. | https://auto.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/industry/credit-growth-expected-to-improve-aided-by-govts-push-on-public-spending/92809077 | 2022-07-11T14:46:31Z | https://auto.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/industry/credit-growth-expected-to-improve-aided-by-govts-push-on-public-spending/92809077 | false |

Faced with both infinite possibilities and challenges, Generation Alpha may be better called Generation Infinite
NEW YORK, July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Generation Alpha – the next generational cohort coming up after Gen Zs, who today are roughly 12 and under – is facing a world that is infinitely harder than the one their parents grew up in but they also recognize infinite possibilities, according to a new report, Gen Alpha: Generation Infinite from Cassandra, Big Village's insights and strategy group that studies trendsetting young consumers. The report, which is the first comprehensive examination of this age group as a generational cohort, reveals much about this generation, where change has been a constant.
"The iPad was a game changer. The Pandemic was a game changer. TikTok is a game changer. The incredible speed with which the world moves today often means the game changes before all the pieces can even be put on the board of the last game. And this is the world Gen Alphas were born into," said Kathy Sheehan, Senior Vice President, Cassandra. "A world with technological and scientific breakthroughs that prior generations could not even imagine. But also, a world that sometimes feels like it is on the edge of social, political, and environmental collapse. When the outcome of our entire world order is anyone's guess, Gen Alpha's well-being depends upon their ability to ride these waves of chaos."
Technology and being digitally native plays a large role in how Generation Alpha sees themselves and the world around them. In fact, 55% of 7-12 year olds use social media and 76% of those surveyed believe technology's good outweighs its bad. Technology has become Gen Alpha's tool of choice, putting it at the center of everything they do, including learning with 77% of Gen Alpha's saying they learn best when they use technology. With that in mind, it is not surprising that 82% of Gen Alpha agrees they can figure most things out if they have access to technology.
While Gen Alpha clearly values humor, kindness and creativity in themselves and others, when asked how they introduce themselves, 58% of them said as a gamer with gaming topping the list of favorite pastimes for them. To further drive the point home that social media and technology is shaping the generation, 64% of Gen Alpha would rather be a YouTube / Social Media Influencer than the President of the United States. But social media is not all the generation cares about. Mental health also weighs on the minds of Gen Alpha. 59% of Gen Alpha agree that mental health is a big issue and 62% say their school should focus more on mental health education than physical education.
"The market has been calling them Gen Alpha, but at Cassandra, we see them as so much more than simply the next generation following Zs," continued Sheehan. "Generation Alpha is the most socially aware generation we have studied. Between living their most critical years in terms of development through a global pandemic and carrying the weight of previous generations and their decisions on their shoulders, they are coming of age in an infinitely complex world full of infinite challenges. Despite this, they exhibit kindness, empathy and fluidity and the belief that they have also been handed what they see as the answer to a lot of these challenges – unmatched technological access and ability from a very young age. And with this comes infinite possibilities. That is why we believe that Generation Infinite might be a more apt name for this next cohort."
Alphas take ownership over their identity. They are curious and openly challenge outdated notions around gender and sexuality and everything else. 84% of Gen Alphas surveyed believe a person's pronouns should be respected and fight for the right for people to be able to express who they are. Do not assume anything about Gen Alpha. They will let you know who they are.
Gen Alpha: Generation Infinite is the culmination of research that was conducted this spring among children, their parents and early childhood experts. Cassandra fielded a quantitative survey among a nationally representative sample of 1,000 US parents of Gen Alphas, and 700 older Gen Alphas (7-12 years old) along with expert interviews, Gen Alpha and Parents focus groups, and Teacher and School Counselor groups.

LISBON, Portugal (AP) — More than 3,000 firefighters and 30 aircraft battled wildfires Sunday in Portugal that authorities say have injured 29 people.
Authorities said 12 firefighters and 17 civilians required medical assistance to treat minor injuries caused by the blazes, as reported by Portuguese state television RTP and other local media. By Sunday afternoon, Portugal’s Civil Protection Agency said more than 3,000 firefighters were combating active fires.
The European Union on Sunday activated its firefighting air fleet assistance program that allows member nations to share resources to help Portugal. Spain, which has also endured wildfires recently, quickly responded by mobilizing two firefighting planes to send to its Iberian neighbor, according to the EU crisis commissioner, Janez Lenarcic.
Portugal has long suffered large, and sometimes tragic, forest fires. In 2017, out-of-control wildfires killed more than 100 people.
The European Union says climate change has the continent facing one of its hardest years for natural disasters such as droughts and wildfires.
Across the border in Spain, a fire in the southwest led authorities to evacuate 30 people from homes as a precaution. Some 115 firefighters backed by helicopters and planes were deployed to that fire near the village of El Ronquillo.
Portuguese Prime Minister António Costa postponed his plans to visit Mozambique this week “in view of the weather forecasts that indicate a very serious worsening of the risk of rural fires.”
Portuguese President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa likewise canceled his trip to New York where he was scheduled to speak at the U.N. Economic and Social Council.
In June, 96% of the southern European country was classified as being in either in “extreme” or “severe” drought.
The fires have caused authorities to increase a state of alert already in place. Portugal’s government declared a state of heightened alert Saturday that will run through Friday.
“This means (…) we can automatically and preventively activate all emergency and civil protection plans at all territorial levels,” said Interior Administration Minister José Luís Carneiro.
The wildfires are coming as Portugal is enduring a heat wave with temperatures expected up to 43 degrees Celsius (109 degrees Fahrenheit). The country has adopted restrictions barring public access to forests deemed to be at special risk, banned the use of farm machinery and outlawed fireworks.
Costa, in a message on Twitter, reminded citizens not to light any fires outdoors or use heavy farm machinery that can cause sparks.
“Preventing fires is the best help we can give our firefighters,” the prime minister wrote.

The segment is set to air at 7:30am on July 11th and will re-air on July 19th. It will be the first time since their recent acquisitions that the company will display all six of their brands publicly. Showcasing and creating customizable salads, wraps, acai bowls, dragon fruit bowls, smoothies, avocado toasts and more, Roddy and Taveau will use these fan-favorite meals to highlight the company's mission to grow into one of the largest plant-based and healthier-for-you family of brands in the restaurant sector.
"The great thing about Saladworks is that we have over sixty different ingredients you can choose from so you can never get bored," Taveau explained.
With Millennials and Gen Z making up over 60% of the U.S. population, guests have never been more health-conscious. Young families and guests with active, on-the-go lifestyles are attracted to WOWorks family of fast casual restaurants because the brands feature customizable, healthy halo of ingredients and meal options on their menus. Taveau, a long-time Saladworks customer herself, introduced the brand in Tennessee and now owns two locations along with a quasi-location at East Tennessee State University that uses kitchen robotics to serve up healthy meals for students. In the segment, she will offer an owner's perspective on what makes these innovative brands so exciting and profitable.
"It's great to have pride in what you're doing. We love being our own business owners and creating our own culture, plus it's great having a parent company because you don't have to reinvent the wheel," she said. "From marketing strategy to training, it is so helpful to have a great structure and support system in place."
WOWorks inked deals for 112 new locations last year alone before taking their franchise network to the next level with their acquisition of Barberitos Southwestern Grille and Cantina and Zoup! Eatery earlier this year. Between their six brands, they expect to end the year with over 400 restaurants and create over 10,000 job opportunities in the restaurant industry.
"As our unique, healthier for you-focused restaurant brands continue to "WOW!" our guests, we are hoping this segment will inspire aspiring business owners to take their passion for food to the next level," said Roddy. "People want to be their own boss and control their own destiny. They're passionate about food or living a healthy lifestyle, but they don't really know how to start a restaurant. That's what we do, we are providing fantastic opportunities for people to own their own restaurants."
WOWorks franchise owners come from diverse backgrounds, including existing franchise owners of different brands, various business ownership backgrounds in construction, hotels, and fitness, former professional athletes and military veterans. The company has franchising opportunities available in 49 states (all states excluding Hawaii) and offers 25 percent off franchise fees for veterans and first responders.

DeWalt impact drivers
DeWalt is one of the most trusted brands in power tools. Their products are American-made and the go-to choice for professional contractors and consumers alike. When it comes to impact drivers, they make some of the best.
If you’re comparing a few of their models but are confused about what the various specifications mean and which one to pick, this guide will clear everything up for you. Our favorite model is the DeWalt 20V MAX XR. It features an efficient brushless motor and offers three-speed settings for precision work.
Impact drivers vs. drills
Impact drivers may look like standard drills, but they incorporate a hammering action that makes them superior for driving fasteners into stubborn materials. While you can certainly use a regular drill to drive a long screw into a piece of wood without drilling a pilot hole first, it is often a bit of a struggle to get the initial penetration. If you are driving a lot of fasteners into wood or another dense material, you’ll quickly drain the battery as well.
Impact drivers have more torque than standard drills, and they combine this with the hammering action mentioned above, which dramatically improves penetration. This not only makes your work easier but the driver’s as well, resulting in longer battery life.
What to consider when choosing a DeWalt impact driver
Power
For the most part, DeWalt only sells cordless impact drivers, so you’ll have to consider the battery voltage and amp-hours when selecting a model.
You can choose between 12, 18, and 20-volt options. 12-volt tools are best for light-duty work, while 18 and 20-volt drivers are better suited to heavy-duty tasks. 12-volt models are often slightly lighter and more affordable. However, they are less versatile. You’ll never run into a situation where an 18 or 20-volt model can’t do the job of the 12-volt driver, but you cannot say the opposite.
When it comes to how long the battery will last, amp hours are the most critical specification. The higher the amp hours, written as Ah, the longer the battery will last.
Torque
The torque of an impact driver refers to its twisting force. It may be written in inch-pounds or foot-pounds. 1 foot-pound is equal to 12 inch-pounds. If two drills have the specifications written in different units, you can either divide or multiply one of them by 12 to get an accurate comparison. The higher the inch/pounds or foot/pounds, the more torque a tool has and the better it can drive fasteners into hard and dense materials.
Speed settings
DeWalt impact drivers come in single and three-speed options, though this is a bit misleading as even single-speed models feature a variable speed trigger. That being said, having a model that allows you to choose a maximum RPM setting minimizes the chances of drilling too hard and too fast into delicate materials.
Impacts per minute
The impacts per minute, sometimes written as blows per minute, is another specification you will see on DeWalt impact drivers. This will vary with speed and is less important of a consideration than power, torque and speed when determining how well an impact driver will handle tasks.
Size and weight
Most DeWalt impact drivers are lightweight and compact, making them easy to handle and get into tight spaces. If you are using your driver for extended periods, though, every ounce matters, so you may want to factor both size and weight into your decision.
LEDs
Many DeWalt impact drivers feature LEDs that illuminate your work area. This can be very helpful when working in dim locations where it may be difficult to see what you are doing. They will automatically turn on when you squeeze the trigger and stay on for an additional 20 seconds after releasing it.
How much can you expect to spend on a DeWalt impact driver
Despite being a top name in the game, DeWalt tools are still quite affordable. 12-volt impact driver kits that include a battery and charger or bare-tool 18- and 20-volt models are available for as little as $100. 18 and 20-volt kits start around $200 and increase in price depending on how many batteries and other accessories are included.
DeWalt impact driver FAQs
What is the difference between an impact driver and a hammer drill?
A. Impact drivers apply rotational impacts, while hammer drills apply forward impacts. This makes the former better for driving fasteners and the latter better for creating holes in masonry.
Are brushless motors better?
A. Brushless motors are more efficient than brushed motors. This makes them a better choice for cordless tools, where efficiency translates to longer battery life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Bedouin children living in occupied Palestinian territory are at risk of developing trauma-related pathologies because of chronic exposure to political and military violence. Little is known about psychological wellbeing and life satisfaction in this group of children, or their coping skills and survival skills in adjusting to these conditions. METHODS: Our longitudinal study aimed to assess the function of agency in predicting life satisfaction as a moderator for traumatic stress. We reasoned that the more that children show agency over time in activating domains of life satisfaction, the more they can be satisfied with their life and the less they will present signs of trauma. A cross-lagged path model (CLPM) was used to assess 143 children living in Bedouin communities located northeast of Jerusalem (area E1, Al Khan Al-Ahmar). The CLPM, a discrete time structural equation model to analyse panel data in which two or more variables are repeatedly measured at different timepoints, was run in January, 2019 (Time 1) and after 6 months (Time 2). We used the Children's Hope Scale (CHS) as a measure of agency, the Multidimensional Student Life Satisfaction Scale (MSLSS), and the Children's Revised Impact of Event Scale (CRIES). FINDINGS: The mean age of participants was 12·02 years (SD 2·05); 65 (46%) were male and 78 (55%) were female. Agency scores had a medium total positive standardised effect on life satisfaction (β=0·25 [95% CI 0·149 to 0·449]; p=0·004) and a small direct standardized effect on trauma symptoms (β=0·08 [0·139 to 0·450]; p=0·023). The indirect effect of agency on trauma was -0·04 (95% CI -0·119 to -0·101]; p=0·044). Life satisfaction had a small statistically significant effect on trauma (β=-0·17 [-0·484 to -0·191]; p=0·037). Statistically significant total standardised effects were found between agency, life satisfaction (β=0·25 [0·161 to 0·476]; p=0·010), and trauma symptoms (β=-0·13 [-0·317 to 0·203]; p=0·044) at Time 1. Similarly, agentic competencies were found to be more related to life satisfaction (β=0·14 [0·025 to 0·338]; p=0·047;) than to trauma symptoms (β=-0·10 [-0·543 to 0·036]; p=0·145) at Time 2. The inclusion of the cross-lagged paths increased the fit of the model significantly. INTERPRETATION: Children are acting for their wellbeing, mobilising personal and contextual resources. Such agentic attitudes contribute to easing their lives under occupation and minimising negative effects on their mental health despite the prevailing chronic traumatic conditions. Children implement skills of resilience rather than yield to the negative effects of political and military violence. The more that children perceive themselves as agentic in activating life satisfaction, the more effectively they deploy their survival skills and resilience. FUNDING: None.

What is a Tamagotchi toy?
Taking care of a virtual pet, like a Tamagotchi, can be a rewarding experience. Thanks to the game’s clever design, you’ll quickly find yourself genuinely caring about the wellbeing of a creature you know not to be real.
Tamagotchi is the brand that kickstarted the virtual pet craze in the ‘90s with their pocket-sized, pixelated pets, and the toys have evolved significantly ever since. If you’re thinking of getting a Tamagotchi toy, it’s a good idea to review the range of models currently available and how they differ before you buy.
What to know before you buy a Tamagotchi toy
What is a Tamagotchi?
A Tamagotchi is a virtual pet toy in which you raise an alien from an egg through to adulthood, training it to clean up after itself, helping it make friends and nurturing it along the way. The toy is often egg-shaped and small enough to fit in your pocket or even attach to your keys. Your Tamagotchi’s appearance and demeanor will change as they grow, depending on how you care for them.
Newer models of the Tamagotchi toy connect to a companion smartphone app that offers even more online connectivity, unique Tamagotchi characters and mini-games to play with your pet. The newer Tamagotchi toys also allow you to care for your Tamagotchi into their senior years.
How to play Tamagotchi
Tamagotchi toys have three buttons that allow you to navigate various screens within the game.
No matter which model you buy, your Tamagotchi will have a meter to represent its health, happiness, hunger and age. Once you’ve determined what your Tamagotchi character needs, you choose whether to cook food for it, take it to a restaurant, give it medicine, play with it or more. By tracking your Tamagotchi’s meters and responding accordingly, you can ensure your pet grows to be happy and healthy.
As your Tamagotchi grows older, you can take them to a matchmaker to find them a suitable partner. These Tamagotchi pairs can have children that you can also raise to adulthood, growing your Tamagotchi family tree as you continue to play.
In newer models of Tamagotchi, you can use the smartphone app to connect with friends and set up playdates for your pets. The smartphone app also allows your Tamagotchi to earn points and surprises that you can import to your Tamagotchi device.
If this sounds like a lot, don’t worry, some Tamagotchi toys may require significant involvement, but some models offer a more passive experience as well.
New models vs. old models
Older Tamagotchi models often have monochromatic screens and don’t offer the same level of online connectivity as newer Tamagotchi toys. Still, the battery life is significantly better than more recent models, and some prefer the simplicity of the older Tamagotchi device.
Newer Tamagotchi models offer colorful screens, app compatibility, more options and longer Tamagotchi lifespans. Although modern Tamagotchi toys are more advanced, they don’t provide the same level of nostalgia for those who enjoyed the toy in the ‘90s.
Tamagotchi features to consider
English menus
Some of the more popular Tamagotchi devices only feature Japanese menus or menus with pictures but no words. If you desire a device with English menus, you may want to consider the Tamagotchi On.
Connectivity
Newer Tamagotchi devices like the Tamagotchi On and Tamagotchi 4U allow you to pair with other Tamagotchi toys via Bluetooth or infrared connection. Some Tamagotchi devices can also pair with other Tamagotchi models as well as companion smartphone apps.
Case design
Tamagotchi toys come in various colors and designs, but the designs available to you will vary from device to device. If you want a solid-colored device, you may have to opt for the original Tamagotchi, or the Tamagotchi 4U, as the Tamagotchi On and many other new models feature flashy designs on their cases.
How much can you expect to spend on a Tamagotchi toy?
Older Tamagotchi models can cost as little as $20, whereas newer models are between $50-$100.
Tamagotchi FAQ
How do you pause a Tamagotchi?
A. There is no official way to pause most Tamagotchi models. However, many users have found that they can effectively halt the devices by navigating to the “time” menu and ensuring that any digits are blinking. As long as one number is flashing, the game is essentially paused.
Can your Tamagotchi pet die?
A. Your pet will die if you don’t properly care for it or as a result of old age. If your pet dies, you’re able to start over with a new pet.

Abstract
Longitudinal studies have shown that children with complex trauma (i.e., exposure to multiple or repeated traumatic events of an interpersonal nature) have poorer cognitive outcomes later in life than children without complex trauma. This association may be moderated by the timing of the trauma, which may explain, in part, some heterogeneity in the findings reported across previous investigations. The objective of the systematic review and meta-analyses was to compare the cognitive outcomes of children with complex trauma and controls and to explore whether the timing of trauma (i.e., its onset and recency) moderated this association. Electronic databases (APA PsycNET, Pubmed Central, ERIC, CINAHL, Embase) and gray literature were systematically searched. To be included, studies had to (1) have a longitudinal design, (2) comprise children with complex trauma and controls, and (3) include a cognitive assessment. Thirteen studies were identified. Meta-analyses were conducted to compare children with complex trauma and controls, while subgroup analyses and meta-regressions explored the impact of potential moderators. Children with complex trauma had poorer overall cognitive functioning than controls, and the timing of trauma (early onset and, to a greater extent, recency of trauma) moderated this association. Thus, findings suggest that children with complex trauma are at risk of cognitive difficulties quickly after trauma exposure. As such, systematic neuropsychological assessment and interventions supporting the optimal development of cognitive functioning among children with complex trauma should be investigated to determine whether prompt interventions lead to better cognitive functioning.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KSHB) — Referee Mark Kinch says he is thankful to be alive after he collapsed during a soccer game.
"He was ready to blow the whistle, and when he went to reach for his whistle, he just collapsed," said Karan Padmakumar, an athletic trainer with Children’s Mercy Sports Medicine Center.
Another trainer, Peyton Jensen, rushed to the ref's side.
"Initially, he started seizing. We first flipped him to his side to avoid choking on the tongue and allow him to stop doing that. We were checking pulse, checking breath rate," Jensen said.
The ref seized for several minutes, and they lost his pulse. That's when Padmakumar grabbed the automated external defibrillator (AED) kit and rushed it over.
"We dropped off the AED, and I took over calling 911 because it was a 911 situation," Padmakumar said. "We have something called an emergency action plan set in place for situations like this. [I] kind of sprung into my role in that, which was get the gates open, get EMS on their way."
Because of their swift actions, EMS was able to get to the field quickly and rush the ref to the hospital in time for life-saving surgery. But the trainers say their actions weren't heroic — it's what they prepare for.
"That's what we want to push with this, it's really good to have medical staff out. Not just for the kids, but for everyone out there," Padmakumar said.
Jensen hopes more sports teams take a look at this incident and realize trainers are needed for all types of ages.
"I think that's where, a lot of times, I hope this situation shines a little bit of light on the importance of athletic training and just us always being aware and able to act with the amount of schooling and education we are trained to do," Jensen said.
Kinch is recovering well. He had surgery, is doing cardiac rehab and hopes to return back to refereeing once he's better.
"I can say I am very blessed to be with the team I was around," Jensen said. "To be able to act accordingly and not feel like you were out there alone and just having everybody communicating calmly in that situation."

Abstract
The destruction of heritage in conflict has emerged as a key challenge to global security and the prospects of peace. In response to the deliberate targeting of heritage sites by the Islamic State (IS) and other actors in recent years, the international community has launched a number of initiatives designed to protect and reconstruct key heritage sites in complex (post-)conflict contexts. However, this article demonstrates that such initiatives are often underpinned by the norm that the protection of heritage in conflict can serve to enhance the prospects of reconciliation, stability and peace. This article problematizes this norm by focussing on the case study of Shia responses to the targeting of their religious heritage sites by the IS in Iraq from mid-2014. It documents the ways that key Shia leaders instrumentalized the case of protecting heritage not to advance peace and security, but to create entirely new militias, to recruit thousands of Shia faithful, to mobilize them to fight against the IS, and to engage in violence and human rights abuses. This raises significant concerns about whether the promotion of heritage as a pathway to peace could inadvertently exacerbate conflict and lead to renewed waves of violence and heritage destruction.

Nottingham Forest head of data and analytic recruitment George Syrianos has insisted that the club will "continue to act sensibly and prudently" in the transfer window after a busy start to the summer.
The 34-year-old arrived at the City Ground last summer after Dane Murphy was appointed as the club's chief executive and installed a new recruitment set-up. Syrianos had previously been head of analytics in his homeland at VfB Stuttgart.
That exposure to the Bundesliga has become particularly apparent already this summer, with half of their additions arriving directly from the German top-flight. Forest club-record signing Taiwo Awoniyi was the first signing last month but has since been followed by Moussa Niakhaté and Omar Richards.

They may not even be the last players to travel that increasingly well-trodden route. "Of course, we have our transfer goals that need to be achieved and there are very interesting players in the Bundesliga who would fit in well with our concept," Syrianos said to BILD.
“Of course, promotion to the Premier League opens up new financial opportunities for us, but we will continue to act sensibly and prudently on the transfer market in the future. The development of transfer income and salaries in recent years has already been too rapid.”
Forest have spent in the region of £60 million in the first month of this summer's transfer window, with defenders Neco Williams and Giulian Biancone also arriving alongside the Bundesliga continent. Goalkeeper Dean Henderson has also arrived on a season-long loan from Manchester United.

African penguin parents are very protective of their young during the first few weeks. As they start to moult and gain their proper feathers they are known as “downies”. When they lose this down which is replaced by their first proper feathers, they become known as “baby blues”.
Penguin chicks form crèches while they are still in their downy stage. This is when the new feathers have started replacing the down at about 30 days old. These crèches afford them protection against predators and allow them to share body warmth.
Crèches are formed because both parents need to go out and forage due to the increasing demands of the youngster. The biggest threat facing these older chicks is the ability of the parents to bring back enough food. A chick nearing fledging can consume up to 500 grams of food per day. By the time they reach the “baby blue” stage, they are large enough to survive alone at or near the nest site.
If food has been plentiful, the bluey may be ready for sea at about two months. If it has been scarce it can take up to four months in order to be strong enough for a taste of the wild and potentially dangerous ocean.

Caution needed as Canada enters summer wave of COVID-19, experts say
By Michael Lee

Toronto (CTV Network) — As summer festivals get underway across Canada, so too has another wave of COVID-19, experts warn. “There is a potential for things to get substantially worse if we’re not a little bit careful and don’t take some basic steps to try to mitigate the spread of these variants,” Dr. Christopher Labos, a Montreal-based epidemiologist and cardiologist, told CTV News. The more infectious BA.4 and BA.5 Omicron subvariants are expected to make up a larger share of all COVID-19 cases in Canada. Labos says people may be more vulnerable if more time has passed since their last vaccine dose. He also noted Canada’s provinces and territories have lifted many of their public health restrictions, including masking requirements. “If you’re going to be indoors with a bunch of other people breathing the same air, I don’t know why you wouldn’t want to wear a mask at this point, because it’s going to prevent the spread of the virus and it’s a low-cost, low-risk way to do that,” Labos said. The Ontario COVID-19 Science Advisory Table estimates that COVID-19 concentrations in wastewater are already half of where they were during the peak of the last Omicron wave in April and could reach those heights in a few weeks. “The data that we’re looking at now is obviously not the best of news in July. We’re seeing significant increases in the wastewater signal,” Robert Delatolla, a professor at the University of Ottawa who has done research into wastewater treatment and disease surveillance, told CTV National News. Increases in the wastewater signal could serve as a leading indicator for what may come in terms of COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations, as is the case in Quebec. “I think it’s good in terms of communication so that the public knows, so people can make their own decisions in terms of what they’re doing. Whether they want to mask again, whether they’re going to go to certain events or not, and if they do those events maybe with masking or without,” Delatolla said. Meanwhile, staffing shortages in hospitals are adding another strain to the health-care system. The matter is expected to be a topic of discussion at the next meeting of Canadian premiers in Victoria this week, with continued calls for the federal government to increase its share of health-care spending.

ScotRail train drivers accept new pay deal to end disruption
- Published
ScotRail train drivers have voted to accept a 5% pay increase, union Aslef has announced.
Trains across Scotland have been on a reduced timetable for almost two months during a pay dispute.
ScotRail said if drivers begin doing overtime again a full timetable could return within 10 days.
Around 700 services were cut on 23 May when the dispute began and an emergency timetable was introduced.
Aslef Scottish organiser Kevin Lindsay said: "Following a ballot on the improved offer negotiated with ScotRail, Aslef members have voted to accept the proposals on pay and conditions."
ScotRail drivers will see their pay climb by 5% and also get more money for rest day and Sunday working, driving instructor and maternity pay along with a policy of no compulsory redundancies for the next five years.
The nationalised train operator said 2.2% of the increase would be funded by Transport Scotland with the remaining 2.8% coming from ScotRail's funds.
ScotRail came back into public ownership for the first time in 25 years in April, after previous operator Abellio had its franchise ended early over criticism of the quality of the service.
Disruption
The emergency timetable in place since May has had a major impact on evening services and caused travel disruption for a number of events.
Fans at Scotland's World Cup play-off against Ukraine at Hampden Park in June had to leave early if they wanted to take the last service home.
Audiences at TRNSMT music festival in Glasgow on Sunday were told they would miss last trains home if they stayed to watch headliner Lewis Capaldi.
Despite the dispute being resolved, the temporary timetable is expected to in place for up to 10 days while service levels return to normal.
Visitors to The Open in St Andrews have also been urged to avoid rail travel this week.
Johnnie Cole-Hamilton, director of championships at The R&A, said there was "a risk that fans who travel by train may find there are no services to get them home". | https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-62125059?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=KARANGA | 2022-07-11T15:05:05Z | https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-62125059?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=KARANGA | false |
(BestReviews) – Prime Day is Amazon’s biggest sales event. During the 48-hour celebration, the company offers its loyal customers the deepest discounts of the year. It is overwhelmingly huge and features a wide selection of brand-name products as well as offerings from small businesses. It is also a live event, so new deals and savings opportunities are constantly evolving.
To help cover this massive sales extravaganza, we enlisted the full team at BestReviews. BestReviews is composed of field-specific experts and dozens of testers who evaluate how products perform in a real-life environment. Consumers can rest assured that the product they are choosing is not only of high quality but is also a great deal.
This respected team will be providing us with in-depth coverage throughout the full two days of Prime Day. Bookmark this page and return often to find the latest information.
When does Prime Day start?
Prime Day 2022 begins at 12:01 a.m. on July 12.
How long does Prime Day last?
Prime Day lasts for two days, which means you can shop until July 13 at 11:59 p.m.
Who can participate in Prime Day?
On Prime Day, shoppers can purchase nearly anything they need at a discount. This includes Amazon products, laptops, patio products, TVs and more. However, this celebration is a little different from other sales events. To take advantage of all the savings and other benefits offered, a shopper must first be an Amazon Prime member. If you aren’t already a member, however, that isn’t a problem. This page shows you how to sign up for Prime.
Even better, if you haven’t been an Amazon Prime member in the past 12 months, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial. During this period, you will be able to take full advantage of every benefit you get from being a member. This includes partaking in Prime Day, so you can purchase items such as a Ninja blender or a Cosari air fryer at a deep discount.
How to get the most out of Prime Day
The experts at BestReviews know how Prime Day works. The company has an online guide devoted to this event. To get the most out of Prime Day, the team has offered these quick tips:
- Fill your cart now. When you add a product to your cart (or your wish list), such as Blink video doorbell or a Fire TV, you are not buying it. You are, however, setting yourself up so you can act fast and purchase exactly what you want with just a single click.
- Use the Amazon app. Shoppers who use the Amazon app have several advantages. The biggest is that you can have the app notify you in real-time when a product goes on sale. With the app, you do not need to be constantly refreshing pages.
- Shop on both days. Prime Day is a live event. Sales come and go throughout the entire 48-hour period. If you only shop on day one, you could miss out on some of the biggest deals.
- Don’t hesitate. People from around the world are all shopping at the same time. With several thousand purchases made every minute, hesitating even a few seconds could make you too late. This is especially true with limited events such as Lightning Deals.
- Be flexible. While it is important to have a shopping list, the discounts can be so deep on Prime Day that you want to be flexible. For instance, did you know you can get the 2019 Fire 7 tablet for 53% off?
Take advantage of Alexa. If you own an Alexa product, such as an Echo Dot or an Echo Show, shopping can be as easy as saying, “Alexa, what are my deals?” As Alexa tells you your options, you can simply confirm that you want to buy something with your voice. You’ll never even have to press a button or click a mouse. | https://www.myarklamiss.com/news/national-news/what-you-should-know-about-prime-day-2022-july-12-13/ | 2022-07-11T15:05:11Z | https://www.myarklamiss.com/news/national-news/what-you-should-know-about-prime-day-2022-july-12-13/ | true |
(The Hill) — Key players in former President Donald Trump’s last campaign have quietly distanced themselves from the president, raising real questions about who would staff his campaign as he edges closer to a bid for reelection in 2024.
Some key players from the 2020 campaign have even taken part in the Jan. 6 panel’s investigation into last year’s attack on the Capitol, underscoring the turmoil in Trump world over the last year.
The hearings have raised fresh questions within Republican circles about whether Trump is the best candidate for Republicans in a 2024 race for the White House, while reportedly propelling the ex-president toward a new bid.
Questions about who would run a new Trump campaign may miss the obvious.
The reality, multiple sources with ties to Trump’s orbit told The Hill, is the former president ultimately calls the shots and runs his own campaign. But those sources say there will likely be a mix of old and new faces if Trump formally launches a third presidential campaign.
“It’s one of those things I suspect we won’t know for sure until we know,” said one GOP operative.
One consensus name that those close to Trump believe will play a major role in any 2024 campaign is Susie Wiles, the chair of Trump’s Save America PAC.
Wiles managed Sen. Rick Scott’s (R-Fla.) first gubernatorial campaign and played a leading role in Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) statewide campaign. She also served as a strategist based in Florida for Trump’s 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns.
“She is very confident, very professional and kind of knows how to work with [Trump,]” one source told The Hill, adding that she would be a likely pick to handle key day-to-day decisions.
Taylor Budowich and Liz Harrington have served as spokespeople for Trump and his leadership PAC and could both work in similar roles on any campaign, sources said.
Donald Trump Jr., the president’s eldest son and a frequent presence on the campaign trail for Republicans, would also likely play an advisory role, sources said, but would be unlikely to take on an operational role like Jared Kushner did in previous campaigns.
Kushner, the president’s son-in-law and former White House senior adviser, played a major role in shaping campaign strategy in 2020. But he has also kept some distance from Trump in the two years since leaving Washington, D.C.
Kushner is one of several former White House and campaign aides whose testimony has been featured in public hearings held by the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
The president’s son-in-law and daughter, Ivanka Trump, were both featured talking about how they were focused on other matters in the weeks after the 2020 election, seemingly distancing themselves from the former president’s claims of widespread fraud.
Trump later posted on his social media network, Truth Social, that Ivanka had “checked out” and wasn’t interested in looking at the election results.
Jared and Ivanka have publicly tried to stay out of the spotlight and keep their distance from the former president in the past two years. One source said they would expect Jared Kushner not to take on as pivotal of a role as previous campaigns if Trump runs again, but noted that he’s family and would likely find a way to insert himself into the operation.
Multiple other prominent members of Trump’s 2020 team have been recurring players in the House Jan. 6 hearings.
Jason Miller, Justin Clark and former Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien have all had their closed-door deposition played during public hearings, where they have talked about their disagreements with Trump’s claims of fraud and their uneasiness with the legal strategy he ultimately pursued.
But sources in Trump’s orbit argued that their testimony would not preclude some of those individuals from having a role in a potential 2024 campaign, should they want one.
While Stepien testified that he quietly stepped away from his job in January 2021 as Trump and his allies pursued baseless claims of widespread fraud to try and overturn the election, his firm has since advised several pro-Trump candidates.
Stepien is generally respected as a data-focused campaign adviser, while Clark worked with Trump and his team from the 2016 campaign, into the White House and on the 2020 trail.
“It wouldn’t surprise me if they both end up involved,” one source said.
Announcing sooner than later could give Trump a head start on potential other 2024 candidates in recruiting staff and building a campaign team. But strategists and former Trump aides have cautioned there are downsides to jumping into the race too soon.
Declaring as early as this summer would cap how many times Trump could go back to smaller donors in the two years until the 2024 convention, and it would trigger financial disclosure requirements. One former adviser also argued that by declaring too soon, Trump risks seeing his stock fall under renewed scrutiny, paving the way for potential challengers.
“I don’t see how declaring now changes the calculus of Ron DeSantis or another candidate from getting in the race,” the former adviser said. | https://www.myarklamiss.com/news/new-faces-begin-to-surface-as-possible-trump-2024-key-players/ | 2022-07-11T15:05:17Z | https://www.myarklamiss.com/news/new-faces-begin-to-surface-as-possible-trump-2024-key-players/ | false |

Allen added, "When Radni, Ray, and I co-founded Sharestates, I was only 24 years old.

Sharestates doubled its loan origination volume in 2021 and continues to expect strong growth for 2022, despite recent market volatility. Sharestates loan performance continues to improve post-pandemic. These positive trends are complemented by a reorganized loan servicing and asset management team and improved credit review procedures executed within an expanded underwriting team.

TOKYO (AP) — The Unification Church acknowledged Monday that the mother of the man accused of assassinating former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is a member, but that an investigation is ongoing into media speculation that her donations may have angered her son and led to the killing.
Police have said the suspect, Tetsuya Yamagami, told investigators he wanted to kill Abe because of his rumored connection to an organization he resented, which police did not identify. Japanese media reports said it was a religious group, and cited large donations by his mother and his anger over her subsequent bankruptcy as a possible motive.
Tomihiro Tanaka, head of the Unification Church’s Japan branch, acknowledged at a news conference that she was a member, but declined to comment on the specifics of her donations, saying a police investigation is underway. Speaking in generalities, he confirmed some people had made generous donations, but stressed none was forced.
The church is also known as the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification, founded in South Korea by the late Sun Myung Moon.
Tanaka brushed off the media reports as speculation, stressing the motive was still unclear.
“Trying to understand how such hatred may have possibly led to the killing is totally perplexing,” Tanaka said.
Abe was not a church member, but may have spoken at some events held by affiliated groups, Tanaka said.
Abe was fatally shot last Friday in Nara in western Japan while campaigning for Sunday’s parliamentary elections. Video and photos taken by people in the crowd show the suspect pulling out a homemade gun. Two smoke-filled blasts were fired. Abe collapsed and was later declared dead at a hospital.
“This is something that should never have happened, and I feel a deep outrage,” Tanaka said, bowing deeply. “My heart aches that Japan has lost a loved and respected leader.”
Such bows are part of Japanese protocol to express condolences and do not necessarily signify admission of guilt.
Tanaka said Yamagami’s mother joined the church in the late 1990s and has been participating in church events about once a month lately. There were years in between during which she did not come at all, he said.
Although the church has had scandals related to donations, compliance measures were set up in 2009, and there have not been any major troubles since then, Tanaka said.
“The amount of donations is up to each individual,” he said. “We are grateful to those who give large donations, but nothing is required.”
The news conference started with Tanaka bowing in a solemn moment of prayer. “As a religious leader, I take this extremely seriously,” Tanaka said of Abe’s assassination.
Japanese media reports say Yamagami’s mother declared bankruptcy in 2002, but Tanaka said records dating back 20 years couldn’t be confirmed and that details were unknown.
Yamagami is under custody and not available for comment.
The Unification Church has been embroiled in controversies over the years. Since its founding in 1954, Moon built a business empire with hundreds of ventures in more than a half dozen countries, from hospitals and universities to newspapers and a ballet troupe.
The controversial practices include mass arranged weddings, often pairing followers from different countries, aimed at building a multicultural religious world.
In Japan, famous actresses have joined the church, while politicians courted friendly ties because of the church’s influence. The Japan branch was founded in 1959. Church spokesperson Ahn Ho-yeul said the church has 300,000 believers in Japan and 150,000-200,000 in South Korea.
The church’s beliefs are based on the idea that love in marriage and family is what God wants for world peace and harmony.
The majority of Japanese people adhere to a mix of Shinto and Buddhism.

DENVER, July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- AirDNA's mid-year outlook report reveals the short-term rental (STR) industry is expected to reach 20.3% more demand in 2022 than in 2021, despite rising interest rates, stock market volatility, and travel disruption.
"2022 will be a record year for STRs, with more nights stayed in a rental than at any other point in history," said Jamie Lane, AirDNA's VP of Research. "A huge influx of new supply has even outpaced demand growth, pushing occupancy down."
Investment has accelerated in the first half of 2022, especially in pandemic-favorite destinations such as mountain, lake, and rural areas. Listing totals are now projected to reach 21% growth for 2022, with AirDNA's forecast calling for available supply to reach a record 1.4 million listings in 2023, up 8.6% from 2022.
Long-term stays of 28 days or more are helping to boost demand in suburban areas, up 10.8% from 2019, whereas their inner-city counterparts are still lagging 21.6% behind pre-pandemic levels. Urban centers are the only location type with occupancy still below 2019, though they have grown 5.2% year over year.
With hosts feeling the pressure of rising costs, average daily rates are forecast to rise by 6.3% this year. So far, these increases have exceeded inflation, but as occupancy rates continue to decline, competition to attract guests may push hosts to lower prices. In 2023, rates are expected to halve their growth.
"Despite relentless growth for U.S. STRs, turbulent trends are the new normal in the industry," said AirDNA's COO, Demi Horvat. "Leveraging data is essential for all industry stakeholders to turn these trends to their advantage and enhance their profitability through timely strategic planning."
As international travelers from key feeder markets like Canada and the U.K. begin to return to the U.S., larger cities should benefit. For the summer, the majority of coastal and mountain markets are seeing demand even higher than last year's record figures. With lead times still lagging behind 2019 levels, 2022 bookings are likely to end up surpassing their current pacing, showing the golden age of the STR sector is far from being over.

Abstract
Forensic interviews with children have a vital role in promoting justice. Given that in most child sexual abuse incidents, there is no physical evidence or witnesses other than the children, their testimonies are crucial. Accordingly, children are required to provide detailed testimonies rich in forensically relevant details. The vast majority of studies on the richness of children's testimonies have examined the impact of gender and age on abuse characteristics. The current study spotlights the impact of children's religiosity on the richness of their testimonies. The sample comprised 234 forensic interviews with children belonging to three Jewish religious groups in Israel: secular, religious and ultra-Orthodox. All interviews were coded for both forensic question type (open, directive, option-posing questions) as well as the number of forensically relevant details the children provided (richness of testimony). The results indicate a correlation between the children's religiosity and richness of testimony provided, with secular children providing richer testimonies and ultra-Orthodox children providing the fewest relevant details. The discussion addresses two clashes between the forensic interview and the child's religious identity: using direct sexual terminology and disclosing child sexual abuse within a religious community. The key conclusion of the current study is the urgent need to better adapt forensic interviews to the context of the children's lives to avoid adverse impacts for the involved children and their surroundings.

Russian President Vladimir Putin extends fast-track Russian citizenship to all Ukrainians
Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on Monday expanding a fast-track procedure to receive Russian citizenship to all Ukrainians, in yet another effort to expand Moscow's influence in war-torn Ukraine.
Until recently, only residents of Ukraine's eastern Donetsk and Luhansk regions, as well as residents of the southern Zaporizhzhia and the Kherson regions, large parts of which are under Russian control, were eligible for the simplified procedure.
Ukrainian officials haven’t yet reacted to Putin’s announcement.
Between 2019, when the procedure was first introduced for the residents of Donetsk and Luhansk, and this year, more than 720,000 residents of the rebel-held areas in the two regions — about 18% of the population – have received Russian passports.
In late May, three months after Russia invaded Ukraine, the fast-track procedure was also offered to residents of the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions. A month ago, the first Russian passports were reportedly handed out there.
The move by Putin came as Russian shelling of Ukraine's second-largest city killed at least three people on Monday and 31 others were injured, the local administrator said. Hours earlier, Russian troops launched three missile strikes on Kharkiv which the official described as “absolute terrorism.”
Kharkiv regional Gov. Oleh Syniehubov said on Telegram that the shelling came from multiple rocket launchers, and those hospitalized for injuries suffered in the attacks included children ages 4 and 16.
"Only civilian structures — a shopping center and houses of peaceful Kharkiv residents — came under the fire of the Russians. Several shells hit the yards of private houses. Garages and cars were also destroyed, several fires broke out," Syniehubov wrote.
Earlier, he said that one of the missiles the Russian forces launched on Kharkiv overnight destroyed a school, another hit a residential building, while the third landed near warehouse facilities.
"All (three were launched) exclusively on civilian objects, this is absolute terrorism!" Syniehubov said.
Kharkiv resident Alexander Peresolin said the attacks came suddenly, without warning, causing him to lose consciousness.
"I was sitting and talking to my wife," he said. "I didn't understand what happened. There were two strikes, two or three."
Peresolin said neighbors carried him to the basement where he later regained consciousness.
The strikes came just two days after a Russian rocket attack struck apartment buildings in eastern Ukraine, killing at least 24 people. A total of nine people have been rescued, emergency officials said.
The attack late Saturday destroyed three buildings in a residential quarter of the town of Chasiv Yar, inhabited mostly by people who work in nearby factories.
Russian attacks in the east also have continued, with Luhansk regional Gov. Serhiy Haidai saying on Monday that the shelling hit settlements on the administrative border with the Donetsk region.
Russian forces carried out five missile strikes and four rounds of shelling in the area, Haidai said.
The Luhansk and Donetsk regions together make up Ukraine's eastern industrial heartland known as Donbas, where separatist rebels have fought Ukrainian forces since 2014.
Earlier this month, Russia captured the last major stronghold of Ukrainian resistance in Luhansk, the city of Lysychansk.
After the seizure of Lysychansk, some analysts predicted Moscow's troops likely would take some time to rearm and regroup, but Ukrainian officials said there has been no pause in attacks.
The British military assessed that Russian troops weren’t getting needed breaks.
The Defense Ministry tweeted Monday that online videos suggested at least one tank brigade in the war was "mentally and physically exhausted" as they had been on active combat duty since the start of the war on Feb. 24.
The British said: "The lack of scheduled breaks from intense combat conditions is highly likely one of the most damaging of the many personnel issues the Russian (Ministry of Defense) is struggling to rectify amongst the deployed force."
Also on Monday, the main Russian gas pipeline to Germany began a 10-day closure for maintenance amid European fears that Moscow may not turn the flow back on after its completion.

Blu Dot launches their new bedding line, significantly expanding the company's soft goods offerings, including sheet sets, duvet sets, quilts, shams, and throws.
MINNEAPOLIS, July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The celebrated Minneapolis-based home furnishing and décor brand Blu Dot will debut its first complete bedding collection — a carefully curated line of sheets and bed coverings that marks a major move into the soft goods market for the company. This new collection continues the brand's quarter-century commitment to simple, fresh, modern design that is high-quality yet accessible, while also signaling a willingness to expand and engage with new audiences. Affordably priced from $125 - $325 the collection will be available starting July 11th online at bludot.com and in-stores for home delivery.
"At Blu Dot we have always offered bedroom furniture, and many of our products feature smart, cozy fabrics, so bedding seemed a natural next step. This collection fits perfectly and naturally complements our existing bedroom assortment,'" said John Christakos, co-founder and CEO of Blu Dot. "It marks a significant expansion for our brand, and one that we excitedly embrace as part of our continued twenty-five-year mission to bring original designs to as many people's homes as possible."
The new bedding line includes Blu Dot's first ever sheets in Egyptian Cotton Percale and Stone Washed Linen to an assortment of duvets, quilts, and throws. The collection's high-quality cotton and soft linens are effortlessly worn in and softer than soft, providing a laid-back vibe and luxurious comfort. Soft textures in an assortment of shades offer a wealth of possible combinations for a personalized touch.
Blu Dot's bedding collection continues the company's tradition of risk-taking when it comes to color. Rather than the traditional pastel options, the collection features bold, saturated hues that add a pop of color to any room. The textures were developed to accent the quality of the fabric through details such as Popple's textured finish or Ripple's elegant stitching details. Each piece was made in a long-standing, family-owned mill in Portugal that respects the culture's time-honored techniques while using modern technologies.

Abstract
This paper discusses the challenges of cyberbullying on society. Research shows that almost 43% of children have been bullied through the web. 1 in 4 children has had it happen more than once. This shows that cyberbullying is rampant in our society and more and more young adults are affected by its catastrophic effects. There are many varying methods in which cyberbullies reach their victims, such as instant messaging over the Internet, social networking web sites, text messaging and through calls made to smart phones. Similar to bullying, cyberbullying is a solemn issue which can make the victim feel uneasy and overly self-sensitive. This can eventually, result to the possibility of committing suicide due to being cyberbullied. A survey was undertaken to determine and understand the challenges faced by victims of cyberbullies. It is found that cyberbullying indeed increased the risk of self-harm and suicidal thoughts among young adults.

Trump associates' ties to extremists probed by Jan. 6 panel
An upcoming hearing of the House committee probing the Jan. 6 insurrection is expected to examine ties between people in former President Donald Trump's orbit and extremist groups who played a role in the U.S. Capitol riot. Top leaders of the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys have been charged with seditious conspiracy in the most serious cases the Justice Department has brought so far. At least two men close to Trump — longtime friend Roger Stone and former national security adviser Michael Flynn — have known contacts with far-right groups and extremists who, in some cases, are alleged to have been involved in Jan. 6.
Putin extends fast-track Russian citizenship to all Ukraine
KHARKIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree expanding a fast-track procedure to receive Russian citizenship to all Ukrainians. It's yet another effort to expand Moscow’s influence in war-torn Ukraine. Only residents of Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk and Luhansk regions as well as residents of the southern Zaporizhzhia and the Kherson regions were eligible until recently. More than 720,000 residents of the rebel-held areas have received Russian passports between 2019 and this year. Russian missiles pounded Ukraine’s second-largest city of Kharkiv on Monday in what one administrator described as “absolute terrorism.” The Russian missile strikes targeted a school, a residential building and a warehouse.

Biden celebration of new gun law clouded by latest shooting
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is hosting a “celebration” of a new bipartisan law meant to reduce gun violence that already has been overshadowed by yet another mass shooting. Congress passed the measure after gun rampages in Buffalo, New York and Uvalde, Texas. It incrementally toughens requirements for young people to buy guns, denies firearms to more domestic abusers and helps local authorities temporarily take weapons from people judged to be dangerous. But the White House event comes a week after a gunman in Highland Park, Illinois, killed seven people at an Independence Day parade. The shooting was a stark reminder of the limitations of the new law.
New coronavirus mutant raises concerns in India and beyond
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, which is 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 the globally dominant omicron variant BA.5. But scientists are concerned about the fact that it's geographically widespread. It's been detected in distant states in India as well as about 10 other nations.
Sri Lanka in political vacuum as talks go on amid crisis
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — Sri Lanka is in political vacuum for a second day with opposition leaders yet to agree on who should replace its roundly rejected leaders, whose residences are occupied by protesters angry over the country’s deep economic woes. Opposition leaders are in discussion to form an all-party government, an urgent requirement of the bankrupt nation to continue discussions with the International Monetary Fund. One lawmaker says main opposition leader Sajith Premadasa and a former minister have been proposed for president and prime minister. In a video statement Monday, the first since Saturday’s protests, Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe reiterated that he will stay on until a new government is in place because he wants to work within the constitution.
Unification Church distances itself from Abe's assassination
TOKYO (AP) — The Unification Church has acknowledged that the mother of the man accused of assassinating former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is a member, but that an investigation is ongoing into media speculation that her donations may have angered her son and led to the killing. Police say the suspect told investigators he wanted to kill Abe because of his rumored connection to an organization he resented, which police did not identify. Japanese media reports said it was a religious group, and cited large donations by his mother and his anger over her subsequent bankruptcy as a possible motive. Abe, one of Japan's most influential politicians, was fatally shot last Friday while campaigning for parliamentary elections.
Over-the-counter birth control? Drugmaker seeks FDA approval
WASHINGTON (AP) — A drug company is seeking U.S. approval for the first birth control pill that women could buy without a prescription. The request from a French drugmaker on Monday sets up a high-stakes decision for the Food and Drug Administration amid the political fallout from the Supreme Court's recent decision overturning Roe v. Wade. If the FDA grants the company's request, women would be able to buy the pill from HRA Pharma over the counter, similar to common pain relievers. Birth control pills are available without a prescription in many parts of the world.

EXPLAINER: When is Manhattanhenge? Where can you see it?
NEW YORK (AP) — There’s still time to catch Manhattanhenge, when the setting sun aligns with the Manhattan street grid and bathes the urban canyons in a rosy glow. The last two Manhattanhenge sunsets of 2022 are Monday and Tuesday. Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson coined the term in a 1997 article in the magazine Natural History. Tyson has said that he was inspired by a visit to Stonehenge as a teenager. Manhattanhenge happens about three weeks before the summer solstice and again about three weeks after. That’s when the sun aligns itself perfectly with the Manhattan grid’s east-west streets. | https://wcfcourier.com/news/national/ap-news-summary-at-10-30-a-m-edt/article_ccb90095-3272-5934-8702-119a9af99fc6.html | 2022-07-11T15:09:25Z | https://wcfcourier.com/news/national/ap-news-summary-at-10-30-a-m-edt/article_ccb90095-3272-5934-8702-119a9af99fc6.html | false |

GREAT NECK, N.Y., July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Sharestates, a leading real estate financial technology (fintech) platform designed to accelerate the redevelopment and rehabilitation of communities, announced several promotions to strengthen its senior management team.
The promotions include:
- Stephan Leccese to President & Chief Operating Officer
- Billie Adams to SVP Sales & Marketing
- Stephanie Balducci to VP Lending Operations
- Jason Redding to Sr. Director Loan Origination
These recent promotions follow a strong history of recognizing internal talent for advancement and come after a broader expansion of the executive team and Board of Directors over the past year, which established oversight and added experienced leadership in key areas of the Company.
The recent additions included:
- Rayman Mathoda (former CEO of Xome, Co-Chief Executive Officer of Genesis Capital) as Independent Board Member
- Tina DelDonna as Chief Financial Officer
- Amy Doshi as General Counsel
- Jeremy Moretti as Chief Human Resource Officer
All of these actions were taken in support of Sharestates' next phase of growth and further the Company's commitment to promoting a culture of diversity and inclusion in the private lending industry.
Since its founding in 2013 Sharestates has pioneered the private lending industry guided by Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Allen Shayanfekr. "The last two years of growth and rebuilding have been the most rewarding in the Company's history," said Allen.
Allen added, "When Radni, Ray, and I co-founded Sharestates, I was only 24 years old. As a young CEO, I didn't fully appreciate how an organization could benefit from having the right leadership team complemented by sound organizational design. At that time, I focused my attention on making sure we would establish Sharestates as a leader in the private lending market. Looking back, welcoming the advice, guidance, and experience of others could have put us on a path to even greater success, with fewer bumps along the way. I appreciate Stephan's ability to help the Company define and then navigate this new growth path. His ability to attract and develop a strong and competent leadership team has provided the needed structure for Sharestates to accomplish its long-term goals."
Raymond Y. Davoodi, Co-Founder & Chief Sales Officer, added, "As a co-founder and leader in the loan origination effort for Sharestates, I am incredibly pleased about the expansion of our leadership team and the new growth strategy. The Company's plan has its roots in a successful relationship-focused regional lending model and a family-focused culture. I am excited to not only see this expansion underway, but the respect for, and continuance of our family-focused culture as we expand nationally."
Stephan Leccese, President & Chief Operating Officer, expanded, "The past two years have been a whirlwind of activity and excitement. I am humbled to see so many competent and accomplished executives believing in and joining Sharestates to help execute our growth strategy. I am confident in their respective abilities and appreciate the continued support from the co-founders as the business continues to transition. I am excited about the next phase of growth. With our expanded line of credit and a renewed focus on operational excellence, I believe Sharestates is positioned to continue its success."
Sharestates doubled its loan origination volume in 2021 and continues to expect strong growth for 2022, despite recent market volatility. Sharestates loan performance continues to improve post-pandemic. These positive trends are complemented by a reorganized loan servicing and asset management team and improved credit review procedures executed within an expanded underwriting team. Despite these numerous changes, Sharestates continues to offer one of the broadest loan programs to help its developers grow as their respective businesses scale with a renewed focus on providing best-in-class service to both borrowers and note buyers.
Sharestates is one of the fastest-growing national private lenders focused on non-owner-occupied residential and commercial properties. The company creates customized lending solutions for real estate investors and developers. Sharestates has successfully funded over $3.3 billion in projects nationwide and has the broadest loan programs available in the market with competitive pricing.
Sharestates funds loans from $100k to $20mm on residential (SFR 1-4), multi-family, mixed-use, and commercial properties. Its loan programs include residential bridge, fix & flip, new construction, portfolio, and rental loans.

PONTIAN, July 11 — Umno secretary-general Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan conceded his party would have to hold its election this year in the event the Registrar of Societies (RoS) did not approve its constitutional amendment to further delay internal polls.
He also claimed the party had a “Plan B” as a backup.
“However, we hope RoS approves our application as there is no reason for them to censure it,” said Ahmad after distributing korban meat for the Pontian Umno division and Benut state assembly seat at Rumah Umno Benut in Jalan Jaafar here today.
Also present was Johor Umno liaison committee chief Datuk Hasni Mohammad, who is also the Benut assemblyman.
Ahmad pointed out that Umno’s situation was also similar to MCA’s in the past where their application was resolved after the RoS approved it.
“For the time being, Umno will not reveal any details of ‘Plan B’ yet. The party’s supreme council will decide whether to hold the party’s elections before December 29 if the constitutional amendment is not approved by RoS,” he said
He added that “Plan B” will be a last resort in the event that its application is rejected.
Umno elections were initially due to be held on June 30, 2021 as the office bearers’ three-year term would have expired by then.
On May 15, delegates at the party’s extraordinary general meeting unanimously passed several resolutions to amend its constitution, including allowing internal elections to be delayed until after the 15th general election.
At present, Umno is waiting to hear if the RoS will approve its constitutional amendment application. The RoS has until July 16 to announce its decision.
Unless its constitutional amendment is approved, Umno is required by law to hold its elections by December 29 this year. | https://www.malaymail.com/news/malaysia/2022/07/11/ahmad-maslan-umno-can-hold-party-polls-or-execute-plan-b-if-ros-blocks-constitutional-change/16910 | 2022-07-11T15:12:10Z | https://www.malaymail.com/news/malaysia/2022/07/11/ahmad-maslan-umno-can-hold-party-polls-or-execute-plan-b-if-ros-blocks-constitutional-change/16910 | true |

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency is accepting nominations for county committee members. Elections will occur in certain Local Administrative Areas for members. LAAs are elective areas for FSA committees in a single county or multi-county jurisdiction. This may include LAAs that are focused on an urban or suburban area.
County committee members make decisions about how federal farm programs are administered locally. All nomination forms for the 2022 election must be postmarked or received in the local FSA office by Aug. 1.
“It is a priority for USDA to integrate equity into its decision-making and policymaking, and that starts with our local FSA county committees,” Arthur Tripp, state executive director for FSA in Georgia, said. “We need enthusiastic, diverse leaders to serve other agricultural producers on these committees as we work to build equitable systems and programming inclusive of all employees and all of our customers. I ask that you consider making a difference in your community by nominating yourself or another agricultural producer to serve on your local FSA county committee.”
Tripp said agricultural producers who participate or cooperate in a USDA program and reside in the LAA that is up for election this year, may be nominated for candidacy for the county committee. A cooperating producer is someone who has provided information about their farming or ranching operation to FSA, even if they have not applied or received program benefits. Individuals may nominate themselves or others, and qualifying organizations may also nominate candidates. USDA encourages minority producers, women, and beginning farmers or ranchers to nominate, vote and hold office.
Nationwide, more than 7,700 members of the agricultural community serve on FSA county committees. The committees are made up of three to 11 members who serve three-year terms. Producers serving on FSA county committees play a critical role in the day-to-day operations of the agency. Committee members are vital to how FSA carries out disaster programs, as well as conservation, commodity and price support programs, county office employment and other agricultural issues.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate gender differences in determinants of bystander intervention (BI) participation among undergraduate students using the Reasoned Action Approach (RAA). Students (n = 291) were recruited via an online survey disseminated in general education courses at two US universities. The survey evaluated intentions, attitudes, perceived norms, and perceived behavioral control toward participating in BI. Two linear regression models (man/woman) were used to understand how constructs of RAA regressed on intentions. Students, 18-24 years old, were mostly women (60.1%) and lowerclassmen (80.4%). While both models were significant, the model better predicted intentions among women (adjusted R2 =.598) compared to men (adjusted R2 =.479). Women had significantly higher intentions, attitudes, and perceived behavioral control to engage in BI compared to men (p <.05). RESULTS show that men and women have different views on BI, and ways to promote BI may be better if they were tailored by gender. This provides insight into the role gender plays in BI to prevent sexual assault and could enhance health education approaches on campuses.

(WXIN) — A new chicken sandwich launched as part of Starbucks’ summer menu has flown the coop after customers claimed it gave them diarrhea, according to the New York Post.
Starbucks pulled the new Chicken Maple Butter and Egg Sandwich from its menu on June 27, less than a week after it was launched on June 21.
The Post reports one TikToker revealed she tested positive for campylobacter after having the sandwich a few days before. Campylobacter infections are the most common bacterial cause of diarrheal illness in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The bacteria is most commonly associated with raw chicken.
One person’s TikTok video said, “Suing for the worst diarrhea of my life. i have been living in my bathroom for 2 days now,” writes the Post.
Other people on social media complained of vomiting and stomach pain or said the sandwich was ice cold in the middle. Someone else said they bit into a bone.
The website iwaspoisoned.com, which tracks foodborne illness, logged five claims that the sandwich made customers feel ill, at least temporarily, according to NBC News.
In a statement provided to the Post, the coffee company said the sandwich “did not meet Starbucks’ quality standards.”
It issued a voluntary stop sell and discard to locations selling the sandwich.
Starbucks originally told Nexstar the sandwich would be a permanent menu addition. | https://wgntv.com/news/starbucks-pulls-new-chicken-sandwich-after-diarrhea-complaints/ | 2022-07-11T15:15:39Z | https://wgntv.com/news/starbucks-pulls-new-chicken-sandwich-after-diarrhea-complaints/ | false |

MILAN, July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Maire Tecnimont S.p.A. announces that its subsidiary NextChem has been awarded a contract by Storengy to carry out an Advanced Basic Engineering Study for a waste wood and solid recovered fuel conversion plant to produce biomethane. Once the project has reached the final investment decision targeted by the end of 2022 and is granted the related permitting, NextChem, in association with another Maire Tecnimont Group's subsidiary, shall act as an EPC contractor for the methanation package of the project, which is set to be implemented in Le Havre, France.
NextChem will be responsible for the engineering and cost estimating for the syngas purification, methanation unit and methane upgrading of the plant, which will produce 11,000 tons per annum of renewable and low carbon natural gas (biomethane). French company COMESSA will be responsible for the design and supply of the chemical reactor. The technology to be used in the plant has already been successfully applied to the Gaya pilot plant near Lyon, owned by ENGIE, which validated the feasibility to produce biomethane. This will be the first commercial project in the world of its kind to inject in the grid methane produced through pyrogasification of waste wood, kick-starting the so called "second generation biomethane".
NextChem and Storengy will also establish a broader cooperation agreement with the aim that NextChem would act as strategic partner, co-developer and co-licensor of the Gaya technology currently patented and owned by ENGIE.
Alessandro Bernini, CEO of Maire Tecnimont Group and NextChem, commented: "One of the main challenges today is to find solutions for the substitution of natural gas of fossil origin with sustainable alternatives: in order to reach this objective, our group is actively developing a range of solutions to produce biogas and syngas from waste. We are proud of this engagement with ENGIE that allows us to broaden our green tech portfolio and further strengthen our presence in Europe in Energy Transition".
Camille Bonenfant-Jeanneney, CEO at Storengy, commented: "Storengy salutes this agreement with Tecnimont Group and NextChem, which is a great opportunity to pursue common development projects in order to offer concrete, innovative and replicable solutions to our clients. In a carbon-neutral world, renewable gases will play an essential role to provide resiliency and flexibility to the energy system".

A Wishaw businesswoman has taken on the ultimate Grand Designs project, after buying an abandoned 15th century castle.
Nicole Rudder bought her dream project in secret – the dilapidated Garrion Tower – and is working on £5 million plans to transform it into a luxury wedding venue.
The 32-year-old was originally sent the advert for the sale of the tower as a joke by a friend but, after taking a drive to view the building, she fell in love with it and snapped it up.

She said: “I put the offer in without telling anyone and was shocked when I got the call to say it was mine.
“I had to go home and tell my husband I’d bought a castle and he wasn’t too pleased at first. People think I’m mad but I knew when I saw it I could make this place something special again.
“This is my dream and hearing my two young daughters talk about mummy buying a castle was a real moment for me. I want my daughters to grow up knowing that girls can do anything they want and everything is possible with hard work.”
Built in 1484, it was originally a summer home to the bishops of Glasgow and later used as part of a fruit and vegetable farm.
Set within the Clyde Valley, the 19-room B-listed building was boarded up in 2008 and then acquired by a London-based firm who planned to knock it down and use the land for a housing development.
In 2018 the castle had fallen into such disrepair it was added to Scotland’s Buildings at Risk Register. But after planning applications to tear down the castle - which includes 4.5 acres of surrounding ground - were rejected, it was put up for sale in 2020 for offers over £600,000.
With no interest from potential buyers, the price was reduced to offers over £450,000.
In November, Nicole, from Chapelhall, placed an offer for £250,000 and it was accepted in February. Nicole said: “It’s a beautiful building and I fell in love with it the minute I saw it.
“They just don’t make them like this any more. It has stood here empty and unloved for so long. My friend sent me the link as a joke and I laughed it off.
"But then I took a drive out to see it and the moment I saw it, I knew it was the one for me.”
Now Nicole, who owns non-fault car accident firm G4 Claims and clothing boutique and beauty salon Francesca’s Kloset in Wishaw, has begun work to restore the historic building to its former glory and is hoping to open the doors to welcome her first wedding guests in the summer of 2024.
After consulting with contractors, she estimates it will cost up to £5 million to renovate and restore the castle.
She is in the process of applying for restoration grants to help cover the costs but is keen to maintain as many original features as possible.

DETROIT, July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Great music and great vodka make for the perfect match. That's why ZIMS Vodka, the fastest-awarded vodka ever in the ultra-premium space, with top honors from the SIPS Awards and Vodka Masters, has teamed up with DJ and violinist Timothee Lovelock to launch "#ZIMSLOVE," an initiative that kicked off on July 1.
#ZIMSLOVE grew out of a friendship between Terry "T.O." Olson, founder and CEO of Detroit-based The Rebel Spirits Group and creator of ZIMS Vodka, and Lovelock, founder and CEO of Florida's Lovelock Music Group, a full-service entertainment company. Lovelock has performed at private events for Ziggy Marley, Pitbull, and more.
The seed for #ZIMSLOVE was planted earlier this year when Lovelock and his team performed at Olson's daughter's wedding in the Dominican Republic. Upon meeting, the two men discovered "immediate synergies," said Lovelock, like their entrepreneurial drive and dedication to their families. They also bonded over their respective 10 years in business and a shared desire to grow their social-media presence.
Once back in the U.S., the pair decided that teaming up would "help take both of our businesses to the next level," said Olson. #ZIMSLOVE will do just that, delivering fun, entertaining, and informative marketing messages for vodka- and music-loving consumers, and producing events showcasing Lovelock's music and ZIMS highly awarded vodkas.

CLARKSBURG, W.Va. (WV News) — Two males are facing sex-related charges in Harrison County.
Noah David Mazza, 21, has been charged with two counts of third-degree sexual assault by the Harrison County Sheriff's Office.
Mazza's bond was set at $25,000.
In a separate case, Michael Christopher Knight, 41, has been charged with first-degree sexual abuse (forcible compulsion without consent).
Bond was set at $3,000.
Information about the allegations was unavailable due to West Virginia Code §61-8B-19, which stemmed from legislation introduced by Sen. Ryan Weld, R-Brooke, in the 2022 session that was unopposed in the state Senate and House of Delegates.
Weld proposed the law because of concerns that accusers' identities were becoming widely known in the public due to information in court documents being reported in the media.
Also:
— Paul David Hardman of Lost Creek has been charged with wanton endangerment by Harrison Sheriff's Detective Sgt. Zach Mealey.
On Friday, convicted felon Hardman admitted he fired a shotgun round inside a dwelling in the presence of two relatives.
Hardman was mad because one of the relatives wouldn't give him cash; the relative believed Hardman was going to use it to buy drugs, Mealey alleged.
Hardman's prior felony conviction is for failure to pay child support.
— Nicholas Shane Matthews of Weston has been charged with malicious assault by Harrison Deputy Dillon Nuzum.
On Dec. 9, Matthews allegedly put a female on the ground and held a knife to her throat after threatening to kill her, according to Nuzum.
The accuser had a cut on her throat, Nuzum alleged.
— Daniel Lee Haggerty and Forrest Ellis Sprunger, both of Clarksburg, have been charged with possession with intent to deliver methamphetamine and conspiracy.
The two men and a female possessed methamphetamine with intent to distribute during a traffic stop Saturday on Snowbird Lane in Clarksburg, according to Harrison Deputy Tyler Gordon.
— Shelby Ann Pratto of Port Huron, Michigan, has been charged with receiving or transferring stolen vehicle.
Pratto unlawfully possessed a 2014 Ford Escape that had been reported stolen from Marysville, Michigan, Harrison Deputy I.P. Cooley alleged.
The investigation began after the vehicle caught fire Friday at the High Life Lounge in Mount Clare, according to the criminal complaint.

Weill Cornell Medicine Center Receives $240,000 for Critical Cancer Research
OLATHE, Kan., July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Joan & Sanford I. Weill Medical College of Cornell University ("Weill Cornell") located in New York, NY has been awarded $240,000 over a 2-year period from the Thymic Carcinoma Center headquartered in Olathe, Kansas for the development of new models of Thymic Epithelial Tumors (TET's). This research will provide novel preclinical models of human thymic tumors. These models are essential for better understanding the biology of these tumors, identifying unique targets, and testing novel therapies for Thymic Cancers. "Thymic Carcinoma Center is committed to providing Thymic Carcinoma patients with education, cancer wellness, and financial assistance as well as funding critical biomedical research within the medical community. "We are excited and committed to providing these much-needed funds for the research of Thymic Cancers, given its rarity, research surrounding these cancers is often underfunded," says Michael Delaney, President & Executive Director of Thymic Carcinoma Center.
Thymic Carcinoma is a rare form of cancer that affects the Thymus gland. Approximately 1 in 1.5 million people globally are diagnosed with Thymic Carcinoma each year. That means that less than 300-400 people per year in the United States will be diagnosed with Thymic Carcinoma. Although rare, this form of cancer is very aggressive with a 5-year survival rate of 25-30%. Oftentimes patients are not diagnosed with Thymic Carcinoma until the disease has already reached Stage IV. We are now seeing an increasing number of people being diagnosed with this orphan cancer every year and that is across all age groups, genders, races, and nationalities. Our hope is that continuing to fund progressive research like this will make it easier to diagnose Thymic Carcinoma earlier in many patients and increase the odds of survival for all those who receive this diagnosis.
Thymic Carcinoma Center (TCC) is a national non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of patients and caregivers of those currently diagnosed and undergoing treatment for Thymic Carcinoma. We aim to support their journey through our core values of education, cancer wellness, patient financial assistance, and medical research. Through our funding, we aspire to find more targeted and advanced therapies and ultimately a cure for this rare cancer while helping to ensure patients are supported, healthy and happy.
Thymic Carcinoma Center is the result of the idea and vision of its founding members. Formed in 2015 and was formally recognized as a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit in March of 2021. The group has grown from 4 members to now over 745 fellow Thymic Carcinoma patients and their families/patient advocates. We are represented in over 54 different countries around the world as well as 47 of the 50 US states.

WASHINGTON , July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, World Population Day, the United Nations Population Division released World Population Prospects 2022, which includes new projections of world population growth through 2100. The new report projects that global population will surpass 8 billion people in November of this year and will likely peak around 10.4 billion around 2080. Global population reached 7 billion on October 31, 2011. In 1950, world population was estimated at 2.6 billion. Commenting on these new projections, Kathleen Mogelgaard, President and CEO of the Population Institute, made the following statement. She is available for interviews on request:
"Today's revision of global population projections released by the UN Population Division paints a mixed picture. On the one hand, it indicates a slow-down in global population growth relative to previous projections. This is evidence of overall progress in health services and reproductive rights, which helped cut fertility rates in half during the last half-century, especially in the developed world.
"On the other hand, the new numbers also reflect persistently high population growth rates in many other places across the global South. In those population growth hotspots, rapid growth compounds other problems such as natural resource constraints, food insecurity, poverty, pandemic recovery, and lack of access to education and health services.
"High population growth is a priority equity issue. It causes disproportionate suffering in poorer, less developed parts of the world, and exacerbates health disparities, gender inequality, and other inequities youth and other marginalized groups face.
"Reproductive autonomy—the ability to freely determine whether and when to have children – is a basic human right. Yet it remains out of reach for too many women and girls. Many are pressured into marriage and having children while they are still children themselves.
"The new population projections tell a tale of two diverging worlds and underscore the need to rethink our global commitments. The UN report should prompt the international donor community to direct more attention and resources to redress global disparities and chronic inequities before current demographic trends make them much worse. More support for family planning and educating and empowering girls is long overdue. It could dramatically lower regional birth rates, generate strong economic returns, and improve prospects for a more just and sustainable future."

MILAN, July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Maire Tecnimont S.p.A. announces that its subsidiary NextChem has been awarded a contract by Storengy to carry out an Advanced Basic Engineering Study for a waste wood and solid recovered fuel conversion plant to produce biomethane. Once the project has reached the final investment decision targeted by the end of 2022 and is granted the related permitting, NextChem, in association with another Maire Tecnimont Group's subsidiary, shall act as an EPC contractor for the methanation package of the project, which is set to be implemented in Le Havre, France.
NextChem will be responsible for the engineering and cost estimating for the syngas purification, methanation unit and methane upgrading of the plant, which will produce 11,000 tons per annum of renewable and low carbon natural gas (biomethane). French company COMESSA will be responsible for the design and supply of the chemical reactor. The technology to be used in the plant has already been successfully applied to the Gaya pilot plant near Lyon, owned by ENGIE, which validated the feasibility to produce biomethane. This will be the first commercial project in the world of its kind to inject in the grid methane produced through pyrogasification of waste wood, kick-starting the so called "second generation biomethane".
NextChem and Storengy will also establish a broader cooperation agreement with the aim that NextChem would act as strategic partner, co-developer and co-licensor of the Gaya technology currently patented and owned by ENGIE.
Alessandro Bernini, CEO of Maire Tecnimont Group and NextChem, commented: "One of the main challenges today is to find solutions for the substitution of natural gas of fossil origin with sustainable alternatives: in order to reach this objective, our group is actively developing a range of solutions to produce biogas and syngas from waste. We are proud of this engagement with ENGIE that allows us to broaden our green tech portfolio and further strengthen our presence in Europe in Energy Transition".
Camille Bonenfant-Jeanneney, CEO at Storengy, commented: "Storengy salutes this agreement with Tecnimont Group and NextChem, which is a great opportunity to pursue common development projects in order to offer concrete, innovative and replicable solutions to our clients. In a carbon-neutral world, renewable gases will play an essential role to provide resiliency and flexibility to the energy system".

WASHINGTON (NewsNation) — For service industry workers in the Washington, D.C. area, reporting the location of a Supreme Court justice out in public could net them up to $250.
Shut Down DC, a protest group in the capital, tweeted Friday that it would send people money via Venmo for any confirmed sightings of specific Supreme Court justices. The tweet named Justices Brett Kavanaugh, Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett and John Roberts — all who voted to overturn Roe V. Wade.
The tweet followed reports that Wednesday, a crowd of protesters gathered outside a Charlie Morton’s Steakhouse in D.C. as Kavanaugh ate inside. The protesters called for the restaurant’s manager to kick the justice out and not serve him.
Kavanaugh was ultimately forced to leave through a backdoor exit after protests built outside the main door of Morton’s.
The gathering did not bring any reports of violence, but the restaurant called the protest selfish and devoid of decency.
In a statement, Morton’s wrote:
“Honorable Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh and all of our other patrons at the restaurant were unduly harassed by unruly protestors while eating dinner at our Morton’s restaurant. Politics, regardless of your side or views, should not trample the freedom at play of the right to congregate and eat dinner. There is a time and place for everything. Disturbing the dinner of all of our customers was an act of selfishness and void of decency.”
Shut Down DC later mocked the statement, posting a tweet that read, “Someone please do a dramatic reading of the @mortons statement and upload it to TikTok. Best costume/setting wins.”
Politico reported that the restaurant has since been flooded with fake reservations, calls and bad reviews due to its stance against the protesters.
Former Secret Service special agent Evy Poumpouras told NewsNation that people have the right to peacefully protest, but what they are seeing here is a complicated line between protests and paying people to possibly harass or stalk individuals.
“But here’s the difference: they’re public figures. And this is where it becomes different. It’s the same thing when we protected the president, the vice president, chiefs of staff … wherever these people would go, they would attract individuals who had unhealthy interest toward them, or wanted to cause them harm,” Poumpouras said.
She said it’s dangerous and reckless for the protest group to be tweeting out to people in the way that they are, because it’s inviting people with ill intentions to cause harm to the justices, or other public figures.
“You’re inviting problems,” Poumpouras said.
On Sunday, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg defended the protesters against Kavanaugh who gathered outside Morton’s Steakhouse in an interview.
In response to Kavanaugh’s dining experience, Buttigieg’s husband, Chasten, tweeted in response to the news: “Sounds like he just wanted some privacy to make his own dining decisions.” This was meant to be a shot toward Kavanaugh’s vote to overturn Roe v. Wade, ending a woman’s constitutional right to an abortion.
Buttigieg defended his husband’s response, saying that, “When public officials go into public life, we should expect two things: One, that you should always be free from violence, harassment, and intimidation … and two, you’re never going to be free from criticism or peaceful protest, people exercising their First Amendment rights.”
Buttigieg also noted that Kavanaugh didn’t even notice the protesters outside the establishment, but was told about them before his departure.
This all comes as protesters gathered outside the White House this weekend calling on President Joe Biden to do something to help after the controversial Supreme Court decision.
While biking in Delaware this weekend, the president said he had a message for protesters.
“Keep protesting. Keep making your point. It’s critically important,” Biden said. “We can do a lot of things to accommodate the rights of women in the meantime. But fundamentally, the only way we are going to change this is if we have a national law that reinstates Roe V. Wade, that’s the bottom line.”
Planned Parenthood has come out in the past saying it rejects any threats of violence during protests.
But just last month, Congress passed legislation providing extra security to the justices and their families.
The abortion decision led to gatherings outside the homes of the conservative justices. The gatherings did not bring any reports of violence, but early last month, police arrested a man near Kavanaugh’s house in Maryland. They said he traveled all the way from California with a gun, zip ties and pepper spray. The man later pleaded not guilty to attempted murder, but remains behind bars Monday morning.

Robots could soon think like HUMANS: Scientists develop AI that can learn the basic common sense rules of the physical world – just like a baby
- AI can be taught 'intuitive physics' - common sense rules of how the world works
- Researchers at DeepMind trained an AI called PLATO with slides of a ball moving
- PLATO demonstrated learning and 'surprise' if a ball moved in an impossible way
Creating an AI system that can think like a human has been one of the greatest challenges in computer science.
Now, researchers claim to have created an AI that can think like a baby, by teaching it basic rules of the physical world.
Their deep learning system can learn 'intuitive physics' – the common sense rules of how physical objects interact.
In experiments, the academics trained the new system, called PLATO, with a set of animated slides of balls moving.
After being trained with a small set of the visual animations, PLATO was able to demonstrate learning and even 'surprise' if a ball moved in an impossible way.
Researchers claim to have created an AI that can think like a baby, by teaching it basic rules of the physical world. In experiments, the academics taught a deep learning system, named PLATO, with a set of animated slides of a ball's movement (pictured)
The new study was conducted by experts at Princeton University in New Jersey, University College London and Google-owned firm DeepMind, and published in Nature Human Behaviour.
Their findings are important in the quest to build AI models that have the same physical understanding as adult humans, they say.
'Understanding the physical world is a critical skill that most people deploy effortlessly,' said study author Dr Luis S. Piloto at DeepMind.
'However, this still poses a challenge to artificial intelligence – if we're to deploy helpful systems in the real world, we want these models to share our intuitive sense of physics.'
In 1950, legendary British computer scientist Alan Turing proposed training an AI to give it the intelligence of a child, and then provide the appropriate experiences to build up its intelligence to that of an adult.
'Instead of trying to produce a programme to simulate the adult mind, why not rather try to produce one which simulates the child's?' Turing wrote in Computing Machinery and Intelligence, his seminal research paper.
In 1950, legendary British computer scientist Alan Turing (pictured) proposed the theory of training an AI to give it the intelligence of a child, and then provide the appropriate experiences to build up its intelligence to that of an adult
'If this were then subjected to an appropriate course of education one would obtain the adult brain.'
The authors of this new study explain that even very young children are aware of 'intuitive physics’ – the common sense rules of how the world works.
For example, if someone were to dangle their keys in mid-air and declare that they were going to let them go, everyone around them would know unsupported objects do not float in mid-air.
They would also know that two objects – the keys and a table underneath, for example – would not pass through one another. Therefore, people would expect the keys to fall until they meet the table.
This knowledge is not unique to adults – even three-month-old infants have these expectations, and they react if they encounter a 'magical' situation that seems to violate these expectations.
For example, babies as young as five months of age are surprised if they are shown a situation which involves a physically impossible event, such as a toy suddenly disappearing.
For their study, the researchers asked whether AI models can learn a diverse set of physical concepts — specifically ones that young infants understand, such as solidity (that two objects do not pass through one another) and continuity (that objects do not blink in and out of existence.
They built an AI system, PLATO, so it could represent visual inputs as a set of objects and reason about interactions between the objects.
The authors trained PLATO by showing it videos of many simple scenes, such as balls falling to the ground, balls rolling behind other objects and reappearing, and balls bouncing off each other.
Researchers asked whether AI models can learn a diverse set of physical concepts — specifically ones that young infants understand, such as solidity (that two objects do not pass through one another) and continuity (that objects do not blink in and out of existence.
After training, PLATO was tested by showing it videos that sometimes contained impossible scenes, such as balls disappearing and reappearing on the other side of the frame.
Just like a young child, PLATO showed 'surprise' when it was shown anything that did not make sense, such as objects moving through each other without interacting.
'One interpretation of the definition "surprise" is expecting to see something and finding another outcome,' said Dr Piloto.
'PLATO makes predictions about the configuration of objects it will observe next. As the video plays out, it then observes the actual configuration of objects.
'The surprise is the difference between the configuration it predicted and the actual configuration in the next frame of the video.'
These learning effects were seen after watching as little as 28 hours of videos.
Authors conclude that PLATO could offer a powerful tool for research into how humans learn intuitive physics.
Results also show deep learning systems modelled on an infant outperforms the more traditional 'learning from scratch' systems.
'The findings from this paper suggest that Turing might have been right,' say Susan Hespos and Apoorva Shivaram in an accompanying News & Views piece.
'Common-sense physics is a situation in which development elaborates and refines knowledge without fundamentally changing it.
'This means that studies of object knowledge in infancy can lend insight into object knowledge in adults, and potentially tell us how to build better computer models that simulate the human mind.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-11002519/Scientists-create-AI-think-like-baby.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-07-11T15:37:10Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-11002519/Scientists-create-AI-think-like-baby.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false |
Ukraine: Death toll from Russian rocket attack on housing block rises to 30
The death toll from a Russian rocket attack that hit an apartment block in eastern Ukraine over the weekend rose to 30 on Monday while rescuers searched for survivors in the ruins, an official from the president's office said.
The death toll from a Russian rocket attack that hit an apartment block in eastern Ukraine over the weekend rose to 30 on Monday while rescuers searched for survivors in the ruins, an official from the president's office said. Brick by brick, rescuers picked through a huge mound of rubble that remained of a collapsed five-storey block struck late on Saturday in the town of Chasiv Yar in Donetsk province.
A Reuters reporter saw rescuers lift a survivor from the ruins to a stretcher and carry away the bodies of two people in white bags. Soldiers also helped with the rescue effort. Nine people have been rescued so far, the State Emergency Service said.
Kyrylo Tymoshenko, deputy head of the president's office, said rescuers had cleared 65% of the rubble, weighing around 170 tonnes, by early evening on Monday. Russia, which invaded Ukraine in February in what it calls a special military operation, denies targeting civilians.
Russia's Defence Ministry said on Monday "high-precision ground-based weapons...have destroyed the temporary deployment point" of a Ukrainian territorial defence unit in Chasiv Yar. Russia is expected to focus the brunt of its assault on eastern Ukraine in Donetsk province after claiming the capture of neighbouring Luhansk. Together, the two provinces make up the wider Donbas industrial region.

Former UN Ambassador who helped free jailed Marine Trevor Reed will travel back to Russia within weeks to try and secure releases of WNBA star Brittney Griner and 'spy' Paul Whelan
- Bill Richardson is planning to travel back to Russia to free U.S. prisoners Brittney Griner and Paul Whelan
- Griner was arrested after bringing two vape cartridges containing cannabis oil through the Moscow airport in February
- Whelan was arrested in 2018 and convicted of spying on Russia on behalf of the U.S.
- Richardson has assisted with the release of various prisoners, including former U.S. Marine Trevor Reed
Former UN Ambassador and New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson is planning a trip to Russia to free detainees WNBA star Brittney Griner and former U.S. Marine Paul Whelan, according to ABC News.
Richardson, who has helped secure the release of multiple Americans detained overseas - including US Marine Trevor Reed, who was also detained by the Kremlin - will head to Russia in the next few weeks.
Recently, Russia has implied interest in trading the WNBA star for Russian detainees in the U.S., ABC News reported.
Griner has been imprisoned since February after she brought two vape cartridges containing cannabis oil through the Moscow airport.
The WNBA star pleaded guilty on Thursday to drug charges, insisting she had packed in a hurry and did not intend to break the law. She faces 10 years in prison.
Meanwhile, Whelan was arrested at a Moscow hotel in December 2018. He was convicted of spying on Russia on behalf of the U.S. and sentenced to 16 years of hard labor in a prison camp in the Republic of Mordovia despite professing his innocence.
Bill Richardson has assisted various overseas prisoners with their releases. He last assisted with the release of former U.S. Marine Trevor Reed earlier this year
WNBA star Brittney Griner pleaded guilty to drug possession on Thursday after she was caught caring two vape cartridges containing cannabis oil through the Moscow airport in February
Whelan's family insisted President Joe Biden is playing favorites after his administration prioritized setting up a phone call with Griner's wife, Cherelle, and not them until their public outcry last week.
Elizabeth Whelan, Paul's sister, finally received a call from the White House on Friday after claiming she was 'crushed' that Biden has not called her family after he called the family of the WNBA star.
The Biden administration has pledged to keep the Whelan's family updated on their plans to assist Paul.
'The U.S. government will continue to be in regular contact with Paul’s family, and with the families of other Americans held hostage or wrongfully detained abroad, to provide support and assistance and keep them updated on efforts to secure the release of their loved ones,' White House official said.
The update from the White House comes after Elizabeth was calling out the Biden administration for ignoring the families pleas to help Paul.
'Still Looking for that press release saying @POTUS has spoken to anyone in our family about #PaulWhelan, wrongfully detained in #Russia for 3.5 years,' Elizabeth wrote on Twitter.
She continued, ' I am crushed. If he wants to talk about securing Paul's release, he needs to be talking to the Whelans! What are we to think?!.'
Elizabeth's comments come after the White House released a statement on July 6, about a call he made to Cherelle about her wife, assuring her that the government is doing everything to get Brittney released.
In the statement, the Biden administration mentioned Paul as another priority for the U.S. to assist despite not expressing his support and plan to the Whelan family.
Paul's twin brother, David Whelan, suggested the only way to the White House's attention, 'is to have celebrity and wealth and resources that most wrongfully detainees do not have,' he told The Detroit News.
Paul Whelan's sister said earlier this week that the Biden administration had not contacted her family about her brother's detention in Russia
Trevor Reed, 30, a former U.S. Marine, was freed from Russian captivity in February after a prisoner swap with Konstantin Yaroshenko, who was convicted in the U.S. on drug trafficking charges.
Reed spent time inside a Russian psychiatric facility and jail since August 2019 alongside murderers and sexual assault convicts.
Reed was released before the Ukrainian war.

The best walkie-talkie for kids
Even with the prevalence of cell phones, there’s a certain clandestine magic that walkie-talkies offer. In short, anyone can have a cell phone, but walkie-talkies are reserved for spies with secret missions. To be successful on those missions, kids need a reliable set of walkie-talkies.
When shopping for kids’ walkie-talkies, you want something that has crisp audio and a decent range. LOOIKOOS Walkie-Talkies for Kids is our favorite. The company offers three fun-colored, feature-packed walkie-talkies that are specifically designed for kids. For more information on how to shop for kids’ walkie-talkies, keep reading.
What to know before you buy kids’ walkie-talkies
How kids’ walkie-talkies work
A kids’ walkie-talkie is a small radio that can not only receive messages, it can send them as well. As long as two or more walkie-talkies are tuned to the same frequency, the individuals on those devices can communicate with each other, whether it’s two kids or a dozen.
How safe are walkie-talkies?
The downside of kids’ walkie-talkies is anyone who is within range and on the same frequency as your child can listen in and communicate as well. While the chance for this happening is rare, it’s possible. The best way to defend against it is to have walkie-talkies with multiple channels and purchase an extra one so an adult can monitor the conversation. Additionally, talk to your children about what to do if a stranger joins their conversation.
The listed range of walkie-talkies is under optimal conditions
You might purchase a set of walkie-talkies that boast a three-mile range and find you’re lucky if they work five blocks away. Like the WiFi signal in your home, every obstruction weakens the signal.
On the practical side, most of the time, your kids will use their walkie-talkies when they’re fairly close to each other, playing a game on the same property. However, some may want to talk to their friend or family member who lives a bit further away. In these instances, the range will be a crucial factor in determining which set of walkie-talkies is best for your needs.
What to look for in quality kids’ walkie-talkies
How many walkie-talkies you get
You can purchase kids’ walkie-talkies in sets of two, three or four. It’s always best to get an extra walkie-talkie so an adult can monitor the channel while the kids are playing.
High audio quality
If the set of walkie-talkies you purchase has a great deal of static even when the distance between those units isn’t very far, communicating isn’t going to be very much fun. For the best experience, look for models that offer high audio quality.
A variety of channels
Most kids’ walkie-talkies have 22 channels. Some also have subchannels that provide even more options. The reason you want a wide variety of channels is so your kids can find one that doesn’t have anyone else on it.
Rechargeable batteries
While most kids’ walkie-talkies use three or four AAA batteries, there are some models that are rechargeable. If you can find one of these, it will save you a great deal of money in battery costs. Alternatively, you can purchase your own rechargeable batteries for use in the walkie-talkies.
Additional features
You can find kids’ walkie-talkies that are packed with bonus features, ranging from voice-activated operation to secret flashlights and keypad locks. While these are all excellent features to have, they raise the price of the walkie-talkies. Take a moment to consider if these additional features will truly enhance the user experience and be regularly used before opting for a model that has all the bells and whistles.
How much you can expect to spend on kids’ walkie-talkies
You can spend anywhere from $15-$60 on a set of kids’ walkie-talkies. As expected, higher-priced models offer benefits such as more advanced features and better sound. However, for most kids’ purposes, you’ll likely find your best options in the $20-$30 price range.
Kids’ walkie-talkies FAQ
What are 10 codes?
A. A 10 code is the number 10 followed by another number. They are used to quickly and clearly communicate precise meanings. For example, if you say “10-4,” it means the message was received and understood, while “10-9” is asking for the message to be repeated.
Are there other ways to communicate on walkie-talkies without using 10 codes?
A. Yes, there are words that are used when you’re communicating on a walkie-talkie that have a slightly different meaning than they would in other situations. For instance, “copy” means the same thing as “10-4”: message received and understood. Part of the fun of playing with walkie-talkies is learning the lingo so you can sound official when communicating.

California heat builds as crews protect Yosemite sequoias
YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, Calif. (AP) — A heat wave was developing in California on Monday but winds were light as firefighters battled a wildfire that poses a threat to a grove of giant sequoias and a small community in Yosemite National Park.
The Washburn Fire on the western flank of the Sierra Nevada had scorched about 3.6 square miles by Monday morning, an increase of about 300 acres (121 hectares) overnight, according to an incident update.
The fire was a threat to more than 500 mature sequoias in the park’s Mariposa Grove and the nearby community of Wawona, which has been evacuated.
The area in the southern portion of Yosemite was closed to visitors but the rest of the national park remained open.
Mariposa Grove and Yosemite Valley have been protected since President Abraham Lincoln signed legislation in 1864.
A sprinkler system was set up within the grove to maintain moisture, and there were no reports of severe damage to any named trees, including the 3,000-year-old Grizzly Giant.
“Fortunately, the Mariposa Grove has a long history of prescribed burning and studies have shown that these efforts reduce the impacts of high-severity unwanted fire,” a National Park Service statement said.
A heat advisory was issued for the Central Valley sprawling below the Sierra while up in the fire area a high of 88 degrees (31 Celsius) was forecast for Wawona.
The giant sequoias, native in only about 70 groves spread along the western slope of the Sierra Nevada, were once considered impervious to flames but have become increasingly vulnerable as wildfires, fueled by a buildup of undergrowth from a century of fire suppression and the impact of drought exacerbated by climate change, have become more intense and destructive.
Lightning-sparked wildfires over the past two years have killed up to a fifth of the estimated 75,000 large sequoias, which are the biggest trees by volume and a major draw for tourists.
There was no obvious natural spark for the fire that broke out Thursday next to the park’s Washburn Trail. Smoke was reported by visitors walking in the grove.
A fierce windstorm ripped through the grove more than a year ago and toppled 15 giant sequoias, along with countless other trees.
The downed trees, along with massive numbers of pines killed by bark beetles, provided ample fuel for the flames.
In Utah, smoke and ash emanating from a growing wildfire in rural Tooele County blew into Salt Lake City on Saturday. By Sunday afternoon, the Jacob City Fire had grown to 5.9 square miles (15.3 square km), with zero containment, officials said.
Elsewhere in Utah, firefighters contending with heavy winds battled the 12.4-square-mile (32.2-square-km) Halfway Hill Fire in Filmore. Law enforcement on Saturday arrested four men who investigators said abandoned a campfire that ignited the blaze.
So far in 2022, over 35,000 wildfires have burned nearly 4.7 million acres (1.9 million hectares) in the U.S., according to the National Interagency Fire Center, well above average for both wildfires and acres burned.

Athos to perform molecular analysis of biopsies from de-identified Inflammatory Bowel Disease patient samples from Lahey Hospital & Medical Center based in Burlington, Massachusetts.
LOS ANGELES, July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Athos Therapeutics, Inc. ("Athos"), a late-stage preclinical biotech company using artificial intelligence to develop small molecule therapeutics for immune-mediated diseases and cancer, announced today a comprehensive Master Research Agreement for a collaborative project on Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) with Lahey Hospital & Medical Center ("Lahey"). This collaboration will advance systems biology and computational analyses in the field of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD).
Athos will perform multi-omic molecular and genetic analyses using biopsies from archived and de-identified Lahey IBD patient samples with the following clinical descriptions: Crohn's disease (CD) active, CD inactive (in remission), Ulcerative colitis (UC) active, UC inactive (in remission), and controls. The results of the biopsy analyses will be correlated with detailed clinical information including the patient's age, sex, disease location, prior treatments, and status.
"We are excited to collaborate with Dr. Randall Pellish and his team to identify novel molecular targets and subtypes of IBD patients," said Dimitrios Iliopoulos, PhD, MBA, President & CEO. "Lahey's IBD patient biomaterials will be fed into our Athos Learning Computational Ensemble
(ALCE) engine to further elucidate the complexity of IBD and the heterogeneity of drug responses."
"Athos Therapeutics is developing a precision medicine approach to the treatment of IBD and other autoimmune disorders," said Allan Pantuck, MD, MS, FACS, Chairman, Founder & CMO. "The availability of high-quality tissue resources linked to verified clinical data, which forms the basis for our collaboration with Lahey Hospital, will make this possible and allow for the identification of new disease sub-types and for the identification of novel drug targets."
"We are very excited about our research initiatives with Athos Therapeutics," said Randall Pellish, MD, Director, Lahey Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center, Division of Gastroenterology, Lahey Hospital and Medical Center. "This collaborative research project will allow us to work on vital questions addressing new ways of classifying and treating inflammatory bowel disease with the goal of developing meaningful, perhaps paradigm shifting, treatment strategies."
The Mission of Athos Therapeutics is to develop first-in-class medications that will significantly impact the lives of patients with autoimmune disorders, chronic inflammatory diseases, and cancer. Athos is a late-stage preclinical biotech company developing small molecule therapeutics for immune-mediated diseases and cancer using artificial intelligence-generated innovative chemistry and computational platforms. The co-founders of Athos include one of the founders of Kite Pharma (acquired for $12B), the medicinal chemist behind two multi-billion-dollar FDA-approved drugs (Xtandi & Erleada), and the discoverer of the miR-124 drug target, currently in a Phase III IBD trial. Athos identifies novel drug targets (hubs) by integrating clinical and molecular datasets into the biological network of a disease (the disease interactome) and matches them to its small molecule computational chemistry platform. ATH-63, the Company's lead drug compound, is moving into a Phase Ia human clinical trial in 2022. The Athos pipeline includes small molecule approaches for various autoimmune disease and cancer.

The Stanley Cup champion Colorado Avalanche have told forward Nicolas Aube-Kubel he will not receive a qualifying offer and will become a free agent when the market opens Wednesday, according to a person with knowledge of the decision.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Monday because the team had not yet announced its decisions on which pending restricted free agents will be qualified before the NHL deadline. Players not receiving qualifying offers are eligible to become unrestricted free agents.
The 26-year-old Aube-Kubel has four seasons of NHL experience and was claimed by Colorado after being waived by the Philadelphia Flyers in November. He had 11 goals and 22 points in 67 regular-season games for the Avalanche, and had no points in 14 playoff games.
Aube-Kubel learned of the decision two days after bringing the Cup to his childhood home in Quebec.
Elsewhere, the Columbus Blue Jackets declined to make offers to defenseman Gabriel Carlsson and center Kevin Stenlund. Carlsson has just two goals and 16 points in 75 career games split over six seasons since being selected by Columbus in the first round (29th overall) in the 2015 draft. Stenlund was a second-round pick in 2015 and has 11 goals and 20 points in 71 games over four seasons.

LONDON (AP) — London’s Heathrow Airport apologized Monday to passengers whose travels were disrupted by staff shortages and warned it may ask airlines to cut more flights from their summer schedules to reduce the strain if the chaos persists.
Heathrow, Britain’s busiest airport, said service levels have been unacceptable at times in recent weeks, with long lines for security, delays helping passengers with reduced mobility, and luggage going missing or arriving late.
“We want to apologize to any passengers who have been affected by this,” the airport said in a monthly traffic update.
Booming demand for summer travel after two years of COVID-19 travel restrictions have swamped airlines and airports in Europe, which have been left shorthanded after laying off many pilots, cabin crew, check-in staff, ground crew and baggage handlers.
At Heathrow, unclaimed luggage has piled up in arrivals because of a technical glitch in the baggage system.
Compounding the problem, Heathrow said the punctuality of arriving flights is “very low” because of delays at other airports and airspace congestion across Europe.
Heathrow said it started recruiting in November in anticipation of this summer’s recovery in travel demand and expects security staffing will be back to pre-pandemic levels by the end of July. It also has reopened Terminal 4 to give passengers more space.
U.K. airlines have been slashing their summer flight schedules after authorities ordered them to ensure they can operate without disruption over the summer. British Airways has cut 11% of its flights between April and October to avoid canceling flights on the day of departure.
Heathrow CEO John Holland-Kaye said the airport will review the airlines’ proposed cuts “and will ask them to take further action if necessary.”
Underlining Heathrow’s woes, the airport said in a separate statement that it ordered airlines operating in Terminals 3 and 5 to cancel 61 flights Monday because it was expecting more passengers there than it has capacity to serve. | https://www.texomashomepage.com/news/business/londons-heathrow-airport-apologizes-for-travel-disruptions/ | 2022-07-11T15:54:25Z | https://www.texomashomepage.com/news/business/londons-heathrow-airport-apologizes-for-travel-disruptions/ | false |
Agency Behind Greatest Viral Ads in Internet History Including Squatty Potty, Chatbooks, Purple, and Lumē Goes Back in Time to Promote Sana Benefits' Innovative Approach to Health Insurance for Small Businesses
PROVO, Utah, July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Harmon Brothers, the Provo-based social media ad agency behind the greatest viral ad in internet history, has earned national headlines and over 1.5 billion views for its social blockbuster ads such as Squatty Potty, Lumē, Chatbooks, Purple, among other hits. Today, the renowned social ad makers are announcing a new campaign called "Lewis & Clark Company" for Sana Benefits, a company changing health insurance for small businesses with affordable and easy to navigate health coverage for both employers and employees.
"Healthcare has been a hot topic from boardrooms to political campaigns for decades, but Sana isn't waiting for others to solve the problem. Forty percent of their customers are small businesses who couldn't previously provide healthcare to their employees because of the high costs." said Shane Rickard, Chief Creative Officer at Harmon Brothers.
"The goal of our partnership is to raise massive awareness of a better way to provide employee benefits—by using technology to reduce costs and even providing direct primary care to their members in select locations. Sana is exactly the kind of company the American healthcare system needs, and we fully expect that in a short time, Sana Benefits will become a universally-recognized brand for the way they're changing a typically bloated and inefficient industry. And we're excited to help them reach that goal."

Harmon Brothers' "Lewis & Clark Company" ad campaign is a humorous imagining of what health coverage would have looked like for explorers Lewis and Clark and their team as they traveled through the wilderness of early America–including yoga classes for mountain men and counseling to help them find their inner mountain child.

Georgia man shot dead at gas station while trying to stop suspects from stealing his car, police say
Homicide resulted from suspect carjacking in Peachtree Corners, Georgia
A Georgia man was fatally shot at a gas station on Sunday while trying to stop a suspected carjacker from stealing his vehicle, authorities said.
Officers responded around 12:20 p.m. to a call of a person shot at the Quik Trip convenience store on Peachtree Parkway in Peachtree Corners, the Gwinnett County Police Department announced.
The victim, a Black male, was found lying near a vehicle at the gas station’s air pumps, police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene and his identity was not immediately released.
Investigators believe the victim was attempting to put air into his tires when a black 4-door passenger vehicle with three people inside pulled up next to his vehicle. Police said one suspect jumped into the driver’s seat of the victim’s car.
TEXAS POLICE MAKE ARREST IN COLD DOUBLE MURDER CASE AFTER 17 YEARS
When the victim noticed the suspect was in his car, police said that he tried to stop them. A physical altercation ensued, and a second suspect got involved in the fight.
When the driver of the suspect vehicle backed into a third vehicle waiting to use the air pump, the first suspect got out of the victim’s car. Police said one of the suspects then shot the victim before they speed away south on Peachtree Parkway.
No description of the suspects or their vehicle was immediately available, police said. Detectives are interviewing witnesses and looking to obtain surveillance video.

(NEXSTAR) – What do architects Frank Lloyd Wright, I.M. Pei and Antoni Gaudi have in common? Well, it’s likely you’ve never eaten a Stuffed Crust Pizza in any of their buildings.
The same can’t be said of Richard D. Burke, however.
Burke is responsible for the design of every red-roofed Pizza Hut restaurant throughout the world, having created the concept in the late ‘60s for Dan and Frank Carney, the two brothers who founded Pizza Hut. But Burke — a fraternity brother of Dan and Frank Carney during their days at Wichita State University — had almost priced himself out of a job after the Carneys approached him for his services, according to Pizza Hut.
“As the story goes, Burke had originally charged the brothers a hefty upfront fee that the fledgling pizza start-up wasn’t able to scrape together,” the company wrote in a 2015 blog post. “Instead, they offered Burke $100 per store built using his design, never guessing that Pizza Hut would become the global company that it is today.”
Estimates vary as to how many “red roof” Pizza Hut locations sprung up over the following decades, but Curbed.com once reported around 6,300 as of 2004 — which would’ve made Burke a millionaire several times over. A representative for Pizza Hut was not available to confirm how much Burke earned from the deal.
In 2016, however, there were only around 3,000 traditional locations still standing by the time Pizza Hut announced it was ditching the iconic architecture for a sleeker, more modern design to support increased demand for delivery, the Dallas Morning News reported.
“Obviously, it’s an iconic design that we will always have elements of in everything we do,” Yum! Brands CEO David Gibbs told the outlet of Pizza Hut’s signature red-roofed buildings in 2016. “The red roof stands for Pizza Hut in the eyes of consumers. … But in many cases, the business just demands that we move to a bigger, more contemporary asset.”
Even still, Burke’s unmistakable contributions to modern architecture can still be appreciated across the nation — if you know where to look. Plenty of former Pizza Hut locations have been purchased or repurposed for use as entirely different restaurants, businesses or even churches, albeit while retaining those unmissable roofs. Several online resources have also become available for folks wishing to find, or share photos of, a local business that was clearly once a Pizza Hut, including Used to Be a Pizza Hut, which allows users to search for former Huts in their area.
Australian photojournalists Chloe Cahill and Ho Hai Tran — two self-described ‘90s kids who found Pizza Hut to be a “place of wonder” in their youth — even compiled a photographic collection of these former Huts into a book, “Pizza Hunt,” released in 2016.
To them, the works of Wright, Pei and Gaudi might even pale in comparison to the remaining Pizza-Hut-shaped businesses designed by Burke.
“Those that remain, those that have not been demolished or are not slated for demolition, exist in the space where the unremarkable and the unforgettable meet,” the book’s official website reads. “Although they have been repurposed, re-painted or relocated, these buildings are still readily recognizable and call to mind a time of dine-in fast food, all you can eat pizza and self-serve sundaes.” | https://cw33.com/news/the-architect-who-designed-pizza-huts-red-roof-restaurants-made-a-ton-of-money-thanks-to-an-unusual-deal/ | 2022-07-11T15:56:13Z | https://cw33.com/news/the-architect-who-designed-pizza-huts-red-roof-restaurants-made-a-ton-of-money-thanks-to-an-unusual-deal/ | true |
