Kevin Spacey set to face June trial in UK after pleading not guilty to sex offence charges
Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey will go on trial in London next year after pleading not guilty to accusations of sex offences dating back almost 20 years.
Key points:
- Kevin Spacey is facing five charges in the United Kingdom over alleged sexual offences
- Mr Spacey, a two-time Oscar winner, has denied all charges
- The alleged incidents took place in London between March 2005 and August 2008, and one in April 2013
Mr Spacey is accused of five offences in Britain — four counts of sexual assault by touching, and a more serious charge of causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent.
Prosecutors say Mr Spacey forced a man to have oral sex.
Speaking clearly, the 62-year-old American actor and producer, whose name was given as Kevin Spacey Fowler, said "not guilty" when each of the charges were put to him at London's Old Bailey Central Criminal Court on Thursday.
Wearing glasses and a light blue suit, he sat impassively in the dock during the 20-minute hearing as a trial date of June 6 next year was agreed.
"Thank you, my Lord," he told the judge at the end of the hearing.
He has been granted unconditional bail.
If found guilty of sexual assault, Mr Spacey could face a six-month prison sentence or an unlimited fine, while the more serious offence carries a maximum punishment of life imprisonment.
Police said the alleged assaults occurred between March 2005 and April 2013 — four in London and one in Gloucestershire, in the west of England. They involved one man who is now in his 40s and two men now in their 30s.
Once one of Hollywood's biggest stars, Mr Spacey has largely disappeared from public view since being accused of sexual misconduct five years ago.
The 62-year-old, who won Oscars for best actor in American Beauty and best supporting actor in The Usual Suspects, was dropped from the TV show House of Cards and removed from the movie All the Money in the World after the accusations came to light.

A toned down Paul LePage says 'Maine is crumbling’ around his Democratic successor Gov. Jane Mills
Former GOP Gov. Paul LePage is challenging current Democratic Gov. Janet Mills in Maine
PORTLAND, Maine – In the battle between Maine’s current and former governors, Republican Paul LePage says he does not need to campaign with the bombastic style that he was known for during his eight years in office.
"Life is a journey. You have to keep learning. Otherwise, you get stale," LePage highlighted in a Fox News interview.
LePage, who was first elected governor in 2010 and re-elected four years later, was prevented by term limits from seeking a third straight term in 2018. The pugnacious LePage became known both inside Maine and across the country for stirring controversy thanks to his off-the-cuff remarks.
Among them, during his first campaign for governor, LePage said he would tell then-President Barack Obama to "go to hell" if he were elected. A few years later, the then-governor said that out-of-state drug dealers with names such as "D-Money, Smoothie, Shifty" sell heroin in Maine and impregnate "young White girl[s]" before they leave.
MAINE'S PAUL LEPAGE KICKS OFF A NEW BID TO WIN BACK HIS OLD JOB
While he is running this year to win back his old job, some political commentators are calling the more reserved candidate, LePage 2.0.
LePage said when he first ran for governor in 2010 that "nobody knew me… it was clear that in order to win… I had to make a name." He added that during his second term in office he "started to calm down because I did get a perspective."
Democrats are not buying it.

"Paul LePage left office as one of the most unpopular governors in the country so no wonder he’s trying to pull the wool over voters’ eyes for his comeback bid," Democratic Governors Association deputy communications director Christina Amestoy charged. "But despite his campaign lies, LePage is the same combative, divisive man who hurt Maine’s economy, blocked Mainers’ health care, and left families struggling. Maine voters will not be fooled."
LePage was succeeded by Democratic Gov. Janet Mills, who as Maine’s attorney general during LePage’s tenure steering the state, was often at odds with the governor. The current governor is now facing off with her predecessor as she runs for re-election.
During a campaign event Wednesday at Messer Truck Equipment, a more than century old family-owned business in Westbrook, Maine, LePage and New Hampshire Republican Gov. Chris Sununu focused on the economy and took aim at Maine's current governor.
"Maine is crumbling around her," LePage charged. "Our food costs are high. Our energy costs are high. Our electricity took an 87% increase this year. It's incredible what's going on. We need a businessman to really come in and fix those areas."

LePage stressed that "we need to have a governor in this state that cares for the people and lowers the cost of living."
Sununu, who on Tuesday night headlined a fundraiser for LePage, emphasized that his friend "brought some awesome economic opportunities to the state for eight years." He predicted that "Maine is going to become a lot more competitive with New Hampshire in just a few short months when Paul gets elected."
Sitting down with Fox News, LePage argued that "the agenda between Janet Mills and myself is totally different. I'm about growing the entire state. She has been concentrating on one small piece of the state and that's Portland. One county is where she's putting all her energy, and she doesn't want to talk about anything but abortion and the rainbow flag."
When asked about LePage’s comments, Mills campaign manager Alexandra Raposo charged that "just like he did for eight years as Governor, Paul LePage just continues to not tell the truth."
Raposo also told Fox News that "Governor Mills has proven what bipartisan, commonsense leadership for all of Maine looks like. Under Governor Mills’ leadership, she has brought together Republicans, Democrats, and Independents to expand health care, make historic investments in education, and deliver one of the strongest inflation relief proposals in the nation. Under her, Maine's economy has grown at the 11th fastest rate in the country over the past three years, and she has grown the Rainy Day Fund to a record high."
Thanks to the highest inflation in four decades and President Joe Biden’s negative approval ratings, Democrats face a hostile political environment that is doing Mills no favors as she seeks a second term. However, Democrats hope that with the recent blockbuster move by the Supreme Court’s conservative majority to overturn the landmark, half century old, Roe v. Wade ruling legalizing abortion, an energized electorate will help them defy the current expectations by political prognosticators.
LePage has said he opposes abortion but would not try to overturn or restrict the right to abortion in Maine. He has also refused to promise he would not sign any anti-abortion bill if he is re-elected.
"In the next four years, it’s gonna be the economy, it’s gonna be fuel, it’s gonna be energy, it’s gonna be policing, it’s gonna be children and fixing our healthcare system," LePage said on the campaign trail last month. I don’t have time for abortion. It’s that simple."
When asked about abortion at his campaign event on Wednesday, LePage answered "look at the eight years as governor of the state of Maine and look at my track record when it comes to abortion.
Amestoy said that "as governor, Paul LePage proved repeatedly that he didn’t care about the health and well-being of Maine families and as candidate, he’s proving it again. Maine women deserve a governor who will protect their freedom to raise a family on their terms, not someone like LePage who will happily legislate those fundamental rights away when given the chance."
LePage won his first gubernatorial election in 2010, and his re-election four years later, thanks in part to third-party candidates splitting the Democratic vote. This time around, there’s no major third-party candidate on the ballot.
LePage is confident he will win in November, boasting that "all I need is Janet Mills as my opponent, and I’ll get over 50%."
Raposo obviously disagreed, emphasizing that "the bottom line is that Paul LePage's record simply can't compare to Governor Mills', so he's running a campaign on baseless and desperate lies because he's got nothing else to run on — and Maine people know it."
LePage, who was known for touting that he was Donald Trump "before Donald Trump became popular," was a supporter of the former president’s 2016 election and 2020 re-election bid.

When asked if he would welcome Trump’s help on the campaign trail in Maine during the general election, LePage told Fox News "I don't know if we need him up here. He's helped a lot of candidates, and he's been helpful. There are states that are in bigger need than the state of Maine."
"If he comes, he comes. If he doesn't come, I think we're doing fine," LePage added. | https://www.foxnews.com/politics/toned-down-paul-lepage-says-maine-crumbling-around-democratic-successor-gov-jane-mills | 2022-07-14T10:49:52Z | https://www.foxnews.com/politics/toned-down-paul-lepage-says-maine-crumbling-around-democratic-successor-gov-jane-mills | true |
The Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade and eliminated the constitutional right to an abortion, is prompting allusions to slavery and the antebellum United States. There’s talk of a new “Underground Railroad” that conjures clandestine networks helping people to flee their home states in search of the freedom to end a pregnancy. And some predict Dobbs will result in conflicts among the states of a magnitude not seen since before the Civil War.
Any historical comparison requires considerable care, with attention to differences as well as similarities. The inability to access abortion, however degrading and oppressive, is quite unlike the horrors of chattel slavery, in which enslavers tortured and murdered enslaved people with impunity, sold children and adults away from loving families and required enslaved status to be passed from one generation to the next.
Yet, like antebellum slavery, abortion is a question of fundamental individual rights, an issue of critical national importance and a matter of great moral significance, marked by bitter divisions in public opinion. And like the battle over slavery, the fight over reproductive freedom raises questions about federal and state authority — in other words, who gets to make the rules.
The Dobbs decision, which gives states complete control over abortion laws, has unleashed conflicts that resemble the battles that arose when enslaved people fled slave states for free states, and enslavers, in turn, mobilized state and federal power to get them back.
This history doesn’t provide a blueprint for action in our own time, but it does remind us of the corrosive impact of interstate conflict and of the importance of federal protections for freedom and individual rights.
In the late 18th and early 19th century, northern states abolished slavery, and a long border emerged within the United States, between free states and slave states. It also became clear that some Americans were strongly committed to enslaving people while others found the practice morally abhorrent. Enslaved people themselves brought the clashing views into relief as they regularly escaped bondage and fled to states where slavery was outlawed.
In 1793, Congress passed a law intended to enforce the Constitution’s fugitive slave clause, which recognized that enslavers had some power to claim enslaved people who managed to get to free states. But that law left open many questions, including how enslavers’ claims would be adjudicated and the extent to which free states could establish their own procedures for such cases.
Over time, as the abolition movement grew, northerners insisted that enslavers had no business sending agents to enforce slavery beyond the borders of their own states, and free states enacted a variety of policies to constrain enslavers’ power. Known as “personal liberty laws,” these included state-level provisions to protect free Black people from kidnapping, strict standards of evidence for evaluating enslavers’ claims and jury trials for adjudicating those claims, rather than cursory proceedings before a single local official.
Infuriated enslavers demanded better treatment from White Americans in the free states. The governments of slave states sometimes sent delegations to free states to demand repeal of personal liberty laws. And free states vacillated in their policies, often changing course when a new political party took power in the legislature. The relative safety of Black people living in the North was in constant flux as a result.
Many looked to the federal government to resolve the conflicts and uncertainty. The U.S. Supreme Court entered the debate in the 1842 case of Prigg v. Pennsylvania. There, the court declared that enforcement of the Constitution’s fugitive slave clause was a matter of exclusive federal jurisdiction, invaliding many personal liberty laws and opening the door for a much more stringent federal fugitive slave law.
But Prigg also made space for free state local officials to refuse to cooperate with enslavers, and this they certainly did. In the 1840s, many free states passed new personal liberty laws, some of which declared that state and local officials were not permitted to cooperate in the renditions of fugitive enslaved people.
As part of the broader Compromise of 1850, Congress weighed in heavily on the side of enslavers, adopting a new Fugitive Slave Act that created a cadre of federal commissioners to oversee claims to human property in the free states. The new law permitted commissioners to deputize people to help them and commanded “all good citizens” to participate when asked. The 1850 law’s vast expansion of federal power in the states gave the lie to the idea that what enslavers really cared about was “states’ rights.” To the contrary, enslavers and their supporters advocated federal power of unprecedented reach when it served their purposes.
Hundreds and probably thousands of Black northerners fled the country rather than face capture and enslavement under the repressive new regime.
Broad-based resistance in the free states grew in the late 1850s, as states passed new personal liberty laws in defiance of the Fugitive Slave Act and local officials and citizens stood up against efforts to enforce it. They continued to do so even after the Supreme Court reinforced in Ableman v. Booth (1859) that the act was constitutional and federal authorities had exclusive jurisdiction in such matters.
Northerners’ growing refusal to tolerate slavecatchers and cooperate with federal law contributed to the coming of the Civil War, and the war, in turn, resulted in the abolition of slavery. The 13th, 14th and 15th amendments, adopted after the war, were an effort to set the nation on a new constitutional footing.
The amendments for the first time put the force of the federal government on the side of freedom, not slavery. In fact, the first federal civil rights statute, the Civil Rights Act of 1866, used the same enforcement mechanisms as the Fugitive Slave Act had, this time in the service of protecting, rather than denying, people’s basic rights.
The capacious language of Section 1 of the 14th Amendment promised that states could not deny people due process or equal protection of the law, and could not deny citizens the privileges or immunities of citizenship. Americans have never agreed on precisely what these broad phrases encompassed, but combined with Section 5, which gave Congress enforcement power, they promised an array of new individual rights, backed by the power of the federal government.
In Roe v. Wade (1973), the court found in the 14th Amendment a constitutional right to terminate a pregnancy under some conditions. In Dobbs, the Court reversed course, declaring that no such right existed and that states get to decide whether residents can access abortion at all and, if so, under what conditions.
This decision has created a landscape with parallels to the fight over slavery and fugitive slave laws. In places where abortion is already severely restricted or banned, state legislators and lobbyists now discuss exerting jurisdiction outside the confines of their states. Referring to proposals along these lines, the vice president and senior counsel for the Thomas More Society, a conservative legal organization, recently said: “Just because you jump across a state line doesn’t mean your home state doesn’t have jurisdiction.”
In response, states that support reproductive rights like Connecticut, California, New Jersey and Delaware have created protections for abortion providers against out-of-state lawsuits and prosecutions. These are today’s personal liberty laws.
Control of Congress is now more important than ever, as some Republicans insist that the next step is a federal ban on abortion, while Democrats seek to rally voters with the argument that if they keep control of the House and gain a couple of senators, they will be able to “codify” Roe v. Wade.
The history of the 19th century reminds us that arguments for states’ rights, or for federal power, have no intrinsic political or moral valence. Northerners adopted personal liberty laws to mitigate oppressive aspects of the Constitution and federal law, while enslavers insisted on extending their jurisdiction beyond state lines and put unprecedented federal power in the service of human bondage.
But that doesn’t mean the best option for the country is to leave questions of fundamental rights in the hands of the states. To the contrary, history also shows that the United States has been at its best when, as in the Reconstruction amendments and federal civil rights laws, it offered federal guarantees of freedom, dignity and equality to all people. Federal guarantees not only strengthen democracy, they also tamp down conflicts among the states. Now the Supreme Court has withdrawn the 14th Amendment’s protection of reproductive freedom. No wonder we find ourselves looking for parallels to a period before the amendment existed. | https://www.washingtonpost.com/made-by-history/2022/07/14/what-pre-civil-war-history-tells-us-about-coming-abortion-battle/ | 2022-07-14T10:50:42Z | https://www.washingtonpost.com/made-by-history/2022/07/14/what-pre-civil-war-history-tells-us-about-coming-abortion-battle/ | true |

LONDON (AP) — Amazon, seeking to resolve two European Union antitrust investigations, has promised to treat third-party merchants on its website fairly, the bloc’s competition watchdog said Thursday.
The U.S. online retail giant offered to make a number of commitments to ease competition concerns, and the European Commission, the 27-nation bloc’s top antitrust enforcer, said it will now seek feedback on them from “interested parties.”
The commission launched an investigation four years ago over concerns Amazon was using data from merchants selling products on its platform to gain an unfair advantage over them.
It also opened a separate investigation into whether Amazon favors its own retail business and merchants that use its logistics and delivery system over other sellers.
The investigations are part of the bloc’s wider efforts to curb the power of big technology companies.
Amazon said it has “serious concerns” that new EU digital regulations are “unfairly targeting Amazon and a few other U.S. companies” and disagrees with several of the commission’s conclusions.
But the company added that it has “engaged constructively with the commission to address their concerns and preserve our ability to serve European customers and the more than 185,000 European small and medium-sized businesses selling through our stores.”
Amazon had faced a possible fine of up to 10% of its annual worldwide revenue, which could have amounted to billions of dollars.
Britain’s competition watchdog opened a similar probe into Amazon last week, looking into concerns that the online retailer is abusing its dominance to undermine rivals. | https://www.seattletimes.com/business/amazon-offers-concessions-to-head-off-eu-antitrust-case/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all | 2022-07-14T10:53:39Z | https://www.seattletimes.com/business/amazon-offers-concessions-to-head-off-eu-antitrust-case/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all | true |

BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union’s executive on Wednesday decried the rule of law situation in Poland and Hungary, centering on perceived breaches in their judiciary and media in its annual report.
As it comes against the background of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the European Commission said that it was all the more important for the 27 nations to be a beacon of democracy on an unstable continent.
“The EU will only remain credible if we uphold the rule of law at home and if we continue to reinforce the rule of law culture,” EU Justice Commissioner Didier Reynders said.
Even though Poland is at the forefront of EU’s effort to welcome war refugees from Ukraine, it did come in for a lot of criticism regarding its judiciary independence and the media.
Polish Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro, who also holds the job of prosecutor-general, said the report was “yet another blackmail by the EU.” He insisted that Poland’s government shouldn’t be ceding to EU demands. The European Commission has recommended that the functions of the minister of justice and the prosecutor-general in Poland should be separate.
Hungary, whose prime minister, Viktor Orban, is seen as Russia’s best contact in the 27-nation EU, also stood out for the criticism it got.
“Serious concerns persist related to the independence of the Polish judiciary,” the report said, adding anti-corruption plans also left to be desired. It also questioned the government’s commitment to free media and said that “the general environment for journalists continues to deteriorate.”
Poland and the EU’s headquarters in Brussels have been fighting for years over judicial independence and the dispute is far from resolved, despite recent moves in Warsaw. Poland must still take more steps to ensure judicial independence before it can receive any of the frozen funds totaling about 36 billion euros ($39 billion).
Hungary came in for perhaps even tougher criticism, with the report saying “judicial independence concerns … remain unaddressed,” while it said anti-corruption measures still fell woefully short. It described a nation where “where risks of clientelism, favoritism and nepotism in high-level public administration remain unaddressed.”
Orban imposed emergency powers to counter the pandemic but the report said that “the government has been using its emergency powers extensively, also in areas not related to the COVID-19 pandemic as initially invoked.”
The European Commission has been engaged in a protracted struggle with Hungary’s nationalist government in an effort to force it to comply with EU rule of law standards. Pointing to deficiencies in judicial independence, crackdowns on the media and civil society organizations and inadequate safeguards against corruption, the European Commission has launched several proceedings against Hungary for what it says are violations of EU rules.
Yet such proceedings have often failed to get Orban to change tack, and critics say his government has flouted EU rules while misusing the bloc’s funds to enrich family members and politically connected businessmen.
The European Commission has withheld billions in post-pandemic financial support from Hungary over what it calls insufficient safeguards against corruption, and has tailored a mechanism for sanctioning member states that fail to uphold the bloc’s rule of law standards.
Even if the European Commission’s report laid bare deficiencies, some said that it lacked any teeth.
In 2021, for example, the commission launched two infringement procedures against Hungary’s government over laws they said attacked the LGBTQ community.
“This sharper analysis is not met with a sharper bite,” said Green MEP Terry Reintke. “With extremely worrying breaches of fundamental rights, women’s rights and LGBTIQ rights in countries such as Poland or Hungary, we need far clearer action from the Commission.”

ROME (AP) — Hundreds of taxi drivers in Italy on Wednesday left their cars idle for a second day to protest the Italian government’s plans to allow more competition, including from share-ride services.
On Tuesday, a handful of drivers chained themselves together in protest in the square outside Premier Mario Draghi’s office, and they were still chained there on Wednesday as the wildcat work stoppage continued.
Nearby, in a main street and not far from Rome’s central square, Piazza Venezia, hundreds of drivers from Rome and Naples stood shoulder to shoulder and protested noisily. A few protesters set off colored smoke flares to draw attention. Their cars were parked elsewhere in the Italian capital.
Drivers vowed to keep up the protests at least one more day if necessary as they press their grievances.
In the northern city of Turin, more than 200 drivers parked their taxis in a main square in a similar protest, the Italian news agency ANSA said.
In Milan, Italy’s financial capital, taxi drivers planned an assembly later Wednesday to decide their protest strategy.
The drivers oppose the prospect of Italy’s liberalizing taxi services to include ride-sharing operators like Uber. Yet Italy faces European Union insistence to allow more competition in transport as well as in other sectors.
Draghi is determined to push forward reforms to open up Italy’s economy as part of efforts to receive billions of euros in EU pandemic recovery funds.
A bill dealing with competition in the taxi sector was to be discussed at the parliamentary commission level on Thursday. | https://www.wane.com/news/business/ap-business/italys-taxi-drivers-keep-protesting-fear-new-competition/ | 2022-07-14T10:58:34Z | https://www.wane.com/news/business/ap-business/italys-taxi-drivers-keep-protesting-fear-new-competition/ | false |

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Australia’s top agriculture official met with his Indonesian counterpart on Thursday to discuss ways to stop a foot-and-mouth disease outbreak that has infected hundreds of thousands of cattle in Indonesia and prevent the outbreak from spreading to Australia.
The disease was detected in the Indonesian provinces of Aceh and East Java in May and has spread to 20 other provinces, including Bali, in the past two months.
Australian Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry Murray Watt met with Indonesia's Agriculture Minister Syahrul Yasin Limpo and vowed to support Indonesia's efforts to contain the spread of the outbreak in Australia’s closest major neighbor.
“FMD would have a significant impact on Australian agriculture if it reaches our shores,” Watt said in a statement ahead of his visit. “We are taking practical measures to prevent that.”
Foot-and-mouth disease — an acute, highly contagious viral disease of cloven-footed animals that is sometimes transmitted to humans — is spreading rapidly across Indonesia, which had been outbreak-free for 32 years, before an infection reportedly by imported cattle from India.
Indonesia, struggling to cope with the rising numbers, is setting up a task force and ordering the culling of more than 3,600 infected livestock.
As of Thursday, more than 366,000 animals have been infected in 22 provinces, largely on the most populated islands of Java and Sumatra. At least 2,400 animals have died from the disease, according to official data from the National FMD Task Force.
Limpo said his ministry is working with the National Disaster Mitigation Agency and together they have distributed medicines, antibiotics, vitamins, immune boosters and disinfectants to farmers and breeders.
The government has warned cattle breeders and traders to ensure that the cattle they sell are free from the disease, ordering slaughterhouses to kill and bury all animals showing FMD symptoms and to vaccinate susceptible animals.
Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto said the government had prepared around 3 million doses of FMD vaccines, mostly from France. Nearly 500,000 animals have been vaccinated as of Thursday, and the country planned to buy 28 million more vaccine doses to combat the disease, Hartarto said.
After meeting with Limpo in Jakarta, Watt said Australia would send one million FMD vaccines to Indonesia in early August and provide a funding package worth 500,000 Australian dollars ($337,600) to Meat and Livestock Australia — a Sydney-based producer-owned company that provides marketing, research and development services to over 50,000 cattle, sheep and goat farmers — to work with Indonesian feedlots and share expertise.
“This is a very serious disease and it’s in both of our interests to get this outbreak under control," Watt told a news conference. “We are taking a range of tough measures at home, and we are also working with our friends in Indonesia to make sure that we are doing work abroad.”
He applauded efforts by the Indonesian government to fight the contagious disease, especially in Bali, a tourist island popular with Australians. Some farm groups have called for a travel ban between Australia and Bali fearing that tourists could carry the disease home on their clothing and shoes.

New owners of historic Wampler House bed & breakfast emphasize family and local ties
Sally Nicholson always wanted to own a bed & breakfast. Being a hostess was the dream, plus she's gifted in the kitchen.
Daughter Jessica Kelwaski and her husband, Marc, invest in rental properties and found the Wampler House for sale on Bloomington's south side. The property is nestled into the lush green foliage hugging South Rogers Street, and when rounding a curve, the historic house sits atop a shallow hill. A white-painted chimney stack became a flower planter in the front yard after a tornado knocked it off the roof in 1917.
However, the Kelwaskis waited to tell Sally. They didn't want to get her hopes up and find out they fell in love with a house in need of expensive repairs. But they found none, and the numbers made sense.
Local housing: Less than 10% of rentals in Bloomington are under $1,000 a month. Here's a few of them.
Not only did the property fit their wish list, but they later found out that Sally's husband and Jessica's father, who passed over a decade ago, performed electrical work on the house during renovations in the early 2000s. Jessica's great-grandfather also used to own a general store across the street, which is now Stella's Place.
Now, Jessica and Marc's three little ones run around on the hardwood and carpeted floors and peek around corners. The married couple and their kids live about a mile and a half down the road, while Sally moved into the carriage house behind the bed and breakfast.
"This is like a second home that we're inviting people into," Sally said.
Generations of local families have owned the 165-year-old house at 4905 S. Rogers St. Now Sally, Marc and Jessica get to add their name to the roster. The eager new owners hope to maintain its homey reputation while perfecting the details and connecting more with the community.
Getting away
Heading south on Rogers Street, downtown traffic and crowded storefronts turn to ivy-covered stop signs and frayed, rusty mailboxes. It's a different side of Bloomington than the one dominated by Indiana University football crowds and police cruiser sirens.
"Listen," Jessica said and waited a moment. "It's quiet."
The owners hope locals can look to the Wampler House as a place for a staycation or a nearby night out. It can also be a close getaway to experience a different side of Bloomington. They, of course, are expecting out-of-town folks wanting rooms when IU puts on large events like sports games, graduation and move-in week.
Of the eight rooms, four have balconies looking out into the trees. Many of the rooms have gas fireplaces and two-person jacuzzi tubs. They have common areas including the front porch, the parlor, a library and a board game room.
The Wampler House is considered a boutique hotel, which means they have fewer rooms and are not a chain company. This allows the owners to give their guests a personalized experience, the owners said. Here, this means small things like finding a storage space for bikes and serving a breakfast catered around a food sensitivity.
On weekends, Sally and a few others cook a two-course breakfast in the kitchen. They serve continental breakfast on weekdays. Not only do they want the food to taste good, but they want it to look good, Marc said.
A house with history
When walking into the check-in nook, a few framed photos of previous owners and the house and a newspaper clipping from the '80s hang on the wall to the left leading upstairs.
The house was constructed in 1857 after David Sears bought the land from the federal government in the late 1820s, according to the Monroe County Public Library archives. The Mathers family took ownership in 1862, and later the Coleman family.
A railroad used to run nearby with a stop for Clear Creek, Marc said, and the house was built close by. That way, supplies didn't have to be carried far, making life easier since vehicles were yet to be invented.
The house's name is derived from William and Pearl Wampler. The couple bought the house in 1938 and owned it more than 40 years. Their granddaughters, Diana and Denise Robinson, later took possession and transformed the property into a bed and breakfast. The renovations, occurring from 2001 to 2003, expanded the house's square footage and added five new bedrooms.
The sisters ran the business until 2015 when Zack and Donna Malham bought the property. They too were fulfilling their dream of owning a bed & breakfast, and they said in a 2016 Herald-Times article they want their accommodations to feel like home. Recent online reviews and conversations about the house talk about the sisters' welcoming hospitality and tasty breakfasts. They retired and passed the property onto the new owners about a month ago.
What's new?
While the house is already packed with antiques and history, Sally, Marc and Jessica still want to make their mark. Many returning guests congratulate them on their new endeavor and remember their previous stays fondly.
"We want to kind of keep that going," Marc said. "but then add in some of our charm to it."
Whether a guest is new or a frequent visitor, they said they want to offer something different each time. They plan on themed décor changes, including a bicycle themed room in honor of the Little 500 and Hilly Hundred as well as dogwood tree elements.
"We're trying to bring in some of the Bloomington charm into each room," Sally said.
Each room is named after different notable families in the community, many of whom are previous owners of the Wampler House. One of the rooms will soon be renamed the Nicholson Room in honor of the Sally and her daughter's family.
What's the backup? Why is busy Ind. 46 reduced to one lane each way between Bloomington and Ellettsville?
Rooms can be rented every day of the week, not just Friday and Saturday nights.
Additionally, they hope to kickstart more events for locals to enjoy, allowing people to get to know the property and use the space. Scrapbooking weekends, wine tasting and mother-daughter teas are a few of their ideas.
Sally, Marc and Jessica are opening up the Wampler House from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. July 27. Locals can come check out the property and rooms, learn about the history and meet the owners.

DETROIT – Look up at a Detroit Metropolitan Airport departure board and you could see a personalized travel itinerary.
In late June, Delta Airlines launched a beta version of its new Parallel Reality technology that allows dozens of people to simultaneously see unique content on the same digital screen. Detroit is the first, and currently only, airport in the country to experiment with the futuristic technology developed by Misapplied Sciences, based in California.
“We’re pleased Delta Air Lines selected Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport to be the first airport to feature the Parallel Reality technology. This is an innovative and engaging way to make traveling a little easier for our customers,” Wayne County Airport Authority CEO Chad Newton said in a statement.
Here’s how it works.
Just beyond Detroit airport security, the new display board hangs near the Delta Sky Club.
Delta passengers can scan their boarding pass, select a language and test out the system. Using “multi-view pixels and proprietary technology,” the board then shows personal flight information, boarding time or even standby status, a news release said.
As many as 100 people could be looking at the board and see something different.
Delta CEO Gil West said the new system will “reduce stress and save time for our customers.”
“This breakthrough technology has to be seen to be believed – it has the potential to make even the busiest airports much easier to navigate, even if you don’t speak the language,” he said in an announcement.
The Parallel Reality displays project up to millions of light rays that can be directed to a specific person. Non-biometric sensors then reportedly track passengers who can see the display even if they move.
Misapplied Sciences believes the technology has many applications.
“While we will start with Delta customers in Detroit, eventually Parallel Reality technology can be used to create seamless, engaging and personalized experiences in nearly any out-of-home venue – ranging from stadiums to theme parks to convention centers and more,” said Albert Ng, Misapplied Sciences CEO.
Delta in recent years has been testing other technologies to “streamline the airport experience.”
In early 2021, Delta partnered with TSA PreCheck to roll out a facial recognition technology in Detroit and Atlanta. It allows passengers to check-in and move through the airport using their digital identity.
Delta says the Parallel Reality experience will “always be opt-in” and customer information is not stored.

ROME (AP) — An American tourist had to be rescued on Mount Vesuvius near Naples after he apparently slipped into the Italian volcano’s crater while trying to recover his fallen cellphone, news reports and the association of Vesuvius park guides said.
The tourist and family members were cited by Carabinieri police because they went off the authorized path to get closer to the crater on Saturday afternoon, apparently to take a selfie, the LaPresse news agency said.
The head of the Confesercenti tourism association for Vesuvius, Paolo Cappelli, said four volcano guides responded immediately after one noticed the tourist had fallen into the crater and was in “serious difficulty.”
In a statement, Cappelli said the guides lowered a rope 15 meters (50 feet) into the crater, pulled the tourist out and provided initial first aid, after he suffered abrasions on his legs, arm and back. Carabinieri park police then arrived and brought the American to the police station to file the complaint, Cappelli said.
Mount Vesuvius, which erupted in AD 79 and devastated the nearby town of Pompeii, is a popular spot for hiking. | https://who13.com/news/international-news/ap-international/us-tourist-falls-into-crater-of-mount-vesuvius-is-rescued/ | 2022-07-14T11:13:07Z | https://who13.com/news/international-news/ap-international/us-tourist-falls-into-crater-of-mount-vesuvius-is-rescued/ | false |
The company gears to further expand its global footprint to fulfil the accelerating demand for industrial automation
CHENNAI, India, July 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Detect Technologies, a leading AI-based SaaS enterprise, announced today that it raised $28 Mn in primary and secondary funding. Detect Technologies provides cloud-based applications to industries to automate and enhance visibility of industrial risks and improve productivity. Prosus Ventures led this round with significant participation from existing investors Accel and Elevation Capital, and continued support from other existing investors—Shell Ventures, Bharat Innovation Fund and Bluehill Capital.
Detect Technologies has grown rapidly to become a leading industrial AI and SaaS enterprise. The company will utilize this capital to further expand and strengthen its sales and operations across international markets in North America and Europe. Operating in the fast-evolving space of AI, the company has also allocated funds for enriching its product suite.
"Our vision is to provide actionable intelligence to help industries mitigate their risks while achieving their business objectives sustainably. I am happy that our customers are reporting fewer HSE incidents and reduced unplanned downtimes with increased productivity levels. We are grateful for the confidence bestowed upon us by our investors, and look forward to accelerating our market expansion," said Daniel Raj David, CEO and Co-founder of Detect Technologies.
Ashutosh Sharma, Head of Investments, India, at Prosus Ventures, shared, "Frontline worker safety and asset productivity are massive unsolved global problems, with significant financial and ESG-related implications. Detect team has done a phenomenal job in building a machine learning based, plug & play cloud solution to automate detection of safety violations on a near real-time basis, which is reflected in their market leadership, quality of logos and the recent as well as expected scale up in the business.

TORONTO (AP) — The Toronto Blue Jays fired manager Charlie Montoyo on Wednesday and promoted bench coach John Schneider to interim manager for the remainder of the season.
General manager Ross Atkins made the move even with the Blue Jays at 46-42 this season. They held the AL’s final wild-card slot when the day began but were in fourth place in the AL East.
Triple-A manager Casey Candaele was named interim bench coach.
“I truly wanted this to work with Charlie and wasn’t able to make that happen,” general manager Ross Atkins said before the Blue Jays hosted Philadelphia. “I’m extremely disappointed in where we are. I think we’re better than how we’ve played.”
Toronto beat the Phillies 4-3 on Tuesday to snap a four-game losing streak.
“Us as players know things could be better, things have to be better,” Blue Jays outfielder George Springer said. “We understand what we all can do. It hasn’t really shown yet. I think that’s the frustrating part.”
Atkins said the decision to fire Montoyo was made in the past 24 hours.
“It got to the point where it felt as though there were a lot of good individual things happening and we need to be playing better as a team,” Atkins said
The Blue Jays are 3-9 in July. They went 1-6 on a road trip against Oakland, which has the worst record in the majors, and Seattle that ended Sunday with a four-game sweep against the Mariners.
“I think we’re just not playing to our potential,” Atkins said. “I see some small opportunities to help that, and this was one of them.”
Montoyo became the third manager to lose his job this season. The Los Angeles Angels replaced Joe Maddon with Phil Nevin on June 7, four days after Philadelphia fired Joe Girardi in favor of Rob Thomson, who managed against Schneider Wednesday.
“(Phillies president) Dave (Dombrowski) just said I’m the longest-tenured manager on the field today,” Thomson said. “I feel old.”
The 13th manager in Blue Jays history, and the first from Puerto Rico, Montoyo went 236-236 in parts of four seasons.
Montoyo, 57, replaced John Gibbons as Blue Jays manager after the 2018 season. Montoyo’s contract was extended through 2023 on April 1.
“I believe in him still as a baseball leader, but I felt this change was necessary,” Atkins said of Montoyo.
Schneider has been on Toronto’s big league staff since 2019 and became bench coach this season.
Drafted by the Blue Jays as a catcher in 2002, Schneider spent six seasons in Toronto’s minor leagues, rising as high as Triple-A in 2007 before becoming a coach the following year.
Schneider managed Toronto’s Class A team to a Florida State League title in 2017, then led Double-A New Hampshire to the Eastern League crown in 2018. That Double-A team featured current Blue Jays stars Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Bo Bichette and Jordan Romano, among others.
“This is something that I’ve always wanted to do and I’m just looking forward to doing it with this group that I’m familiar with, both in the coaching office and the guys in the clubhouse,” Schneider said.
“I don’t really see many cons, to be honest with you,” Schneider added. “This is a group that’s talented and wants to win.”
Atkins called the decision to promote Schneider “a natural step,” acknowledging that Schneider’s history with the roster was a factor.
“That definitely was a part of it, that familiarity, at this point in the season,” Atkins said.
Springer said Schneider’s energy and attitude will be important attributes as the Blue Jays attempt to improve their performance.
“He’s obviously a very energetic guy,” Springer said. “He likes to have fun. There’s never really a dull moment with him. Hopefully, who he is as a person will kind of ooze onto us as players and allow us to relax a little bit, have a little bit more fun and kind of enjoy the day.”
Schneider said he was driving to lunch with his wife and sons when Atkins called to deliver the news.
“Those plans kind of changed in a hurry,” Schneider said, adding that his two young boys weren’t entirely clear on dad’s new job.
“They could tell by mom’s reaction that it was pretty cool,” he said.
Toronto’s skid started July 2, when it was swept in a doubleheader against Tampa Bay. Montoyo and first base coach Mark Budzinksi left the dugout during Game 2 after learning of the death of Budzinski’s teenage daughter, Julia.
Several members of the Blue Jays organization flew to Virginia together on Monday’s day off to attend Julia Budzinski’s funeral.
“Out of respect for Charlie, once you’ve made the decision, regardless of circumstance, that’s the best thing for the individual and the team,” Atkins said of Montoyo’s firing coming on the heels of that tragedy.
Montoyo oversaw a tumultuous period in Blue Jays history, with the team playing home games in three cities last season, including two minor league parks, because of border restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Toronto also played its 2020 home schedule at its Triple-A stadium in Buffalo, New York.
Montoyo led Toronto to a 32-28 record and a wild-card playoff berth in the expanded playoffs that followed the pandemic-shortened 2020 season, but the Blue Jays were swept by eventual AL champion Tampa Bay in the opening round. Toronto went 91-71 in 2021 and missed tying for the AL wild card by one game.
Before joining the Blue Jays, Montoyo spent six seasons on Tampa Bay’s major league coaching staff, including his final three as bench coach. Prior to that, he spent 18 seasons as a minor league manager in the Rays system and also worked with the Puerto Rican team at the 2009 World Baseball Classic.

The National Law Enforcement Memorial Fund reports that officer fatalities have decreased 31% below the same period in 2021, with increased numbers in firearms deaths.
WASHINGTON, July 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The number of law enforcement professionals nationwide who died in the line of duty in the first half of 2022 decreased 31% over the same time period in the previous year, according to preliminary data provided by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund (NLEOMF), the leading authority on officer fatalities.
NLEOMF announced in its official 2022 Mid-Year Preliminary Law Enforcement Officers Fatalities Report that as of June 30, 2022, 129 federal, state, county, municipal, military, campus, and tribal officers have died in the line of duty during the first six months of 2022, representing a 31% decrease compared to the 188 officers who died in the line of duty during the same period in 2021.
"As the leading authority in line-of-duty death research and data, the publication of the 2022 Mid-Year Law Enforcement Officers Fatalities Report is an opportunity for us to share with the public the rate at which we are losing our heroes, as well as what's behind the data," said National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund CEO Marcia Ferranto. "With zero officer fatalities as our ultimate goal, observing comparatively lower numbers in line-of-duty deaths provides us with cautious hope for those who've made a commitment to serve and protect our communities."
Most significant in the 2022 Mid-Year Report is the sizeable reduction in Covid-19-related deaths. Fifty-four officers have succumbed to the disease so far this year, compared to 98 officers in the same period in 2021, a 45% decrease.
While the number of line-of-duty deaths in the first half of 2022 have decreased compared to the same time in 2021, most of that decrease is a result of far fewer Covid-19-related deaths. The preliminary report shows an 18% increase in the number of firearms-related fatalities, which is cause for concern.
Firearms-related fatalities have claimed the lives of 33 officers in the first half of 2022, an 18% increase compared to the 28 officers killed in firearms-related incidents in the first half of 2021.
Of the 33 firearms fatalities:
- 9 were handling domestic disturbance calls
- 6 were investigating disturbance calls
- 3 were attempting an arrest
- 3 were fatally shot responding to burglary or robbery in-progress calls
- 2 were handling suspicious persons/activities calls
- 2 were killed during traffic enforcement
- 2 were serving warrants
- 2 were ambushed
- 2 were handling/transporting prisoners
- 1 was mistaken identity
- 1 was killed during a tactical encounter
Traffic-related fatalities decreased 9% with 31 deaths in 2022 compared to 34 deaths in the same period in 2021. While overall traffic-related fatalities are down YTD, the 20 fatal crashes so far in 2022 (automobile/motorcycle) represent an increase of 25% compared to the same time in 2021.
Of the 31 traffic-related deaths:
- 14 were automobile crashes involving a collision with another vehicle or fixed object
- 5 were single-vehicle crashes
- 1 officer has been killed in a motorcycle crash
- 11 were struck-by fatalities
Texas has experienced the largest number of law enforcement officer fatalities of all U.S. states so far this year, with 25 line-of-duty deaths.
- California has the second highest number with 10 officer deaths.
- Alabama has the third highest number with 8 officer deaths.
- Tennessee and New York have the fourth highest number with 6 officer deaths each.
- Missouri has the sixth highest number with 5 officer deaths.
- In addition, 6 federal officers and 1 tribal officer have died in the line of duty so far this year. 18 states and the District of Columbia have not lost an officer so far this year.
There were 117 male officers killed in the line of duty, and 12 female officers. The average age of the fallen officers is 45, with an average of 15 years of service. On average, officers left behind two children.
There are currently 23,229 names of officers killed in the line of duty inscribed on the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, DC, dating back to the first known death in 1786. The deadliest year on record for law enforcement was 2021 when 472 law enforcement officers were killed in the line of duty.
The statistics released are based on preliminary data compiled by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund and do not represent a final or complete list of individual officers who will be added to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in 2023.
NLEOMF will be hosting a Law Enforcement Traffic Safety Summit on Thursday, July 28, at the National Law Enforcement Museum. The full-day program, which can be attended for free in person in Washington, DC or virtually, will create greater awareness of the persistent dangers officers face while operating on our nation's roadways and promote a stronger culture of safety within all law enforcement agencies in the United States and its territories.

Established in 1984, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund is a nonprofit organization dedicated to honoring the fallen, telling the story of American law enforcement, and making it safer for those who serve. The Memorial Fund maintains the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, D.C., which honors the names of all of the 23,229 officers who have died in the line of duty throughout U.S. history. The National Law Enforcement Museum at the Motorola Solutions Foundation Building is committed to preserving the history of American law enforcement and sharing the experiences of service and sacrifice for generations to come.

Juventus 'are set to make Arsenal a HUGE offer to sign defender Gabriel Magalhaes this summer... with £25m, plus the permanent arrival of Adrien Rabiot and a loan deal for Arthur Melo on the table to tempt Gunners chiefs'
- Arsenal centre-back Gabriel Magalhaes is a long-term target of Juventus
- The Gunners are unlikely to sell, but the Serie A side could test their resolve
- Mikel Arteta has tried to sign Arthur Melo before and nearly got him in January
- Meanwhile, Adrien Rabiot has made it clear he want to leave Juve this summer
Juventus are reportedly lining up a blockbuster offer for Arsenal centre-back Gabriel Magalhaes as they desperately try to sign the Brazilian.
Matthijs de Ligt is expected to leave the Serie A side this summer and head to Bayern Munich, so Massimiliano Allegri is on the hunt for defensive reinforcements.
Having lost out to Chelsea in the race for Kalidou Koulibaly, he may turn his attentions to long-time target Gabriel.
Juventus are reportedly lining up a blockbuster offer for Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes
But the Gunners will have no intention of selling the 24-year-old, who has become one of Mikel Arteta's most important players since signing from Lille for £27million two years ago.
Gabriel made 35 Premier League appearances last season and contributed five goals too - only four players in the Arsenal squad scored more.
According to CalciomercatoWeb, Juve will test the Gunners' resolve with a bid of £25.3million as well as offering up midfielder Adrian Rabiot and a loan deal for Arthur Melo.
It is not the first time that Juventus have tried to offer Arthur as part of a swap deal to Arsenal
27-year-old midfielder Adrien Rabiot has made it clear he wants to leave Turin this summer
The report adds that the Italian club hope that will prove enough compensation to match Arsenal's price tag of £34million.
It is not the first time that Juventus have tried to offer Arthur as part of a swap deal to the north London club, as Calciomercato claimed last month that they included the midfielder in a bid for Gabriel Martinelli.
Arsenal have had a long-time interest in Arthur, 25, and have made attempts to sign him in the past.
'In January he was close to leaving and joining Arsenal,' Arthur's agent, Federico Pastorello, told La Repubblica in May.
Arsenal will have no intention of selling Gabriel, who is one of Mikel Arteta's key players
'He is too important a player to be marginalised [at Juventus], he must also think about his situation with the national team. It's not in anyone's interest to continue in this situation.'
Meanwhile, Rabiot has made it clear he wants to leave Turin this summer and Juventus will feel this is an easy way to appease that wish.
The 27-year-old midfielder has been a regular at the club since he joined from PSG in 2019, but is said to want a new challenge. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11013317/Juventus-set-make-Arsenal-HUGE-offer-sign-defender-Gabriel-Magalhaes-summer.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-07-14T11:30:02Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11013317/Juventus-set-make-Arsenal-HUGE-offer-sign-defender-Gabriel-Magalhaes-summer.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false |
Defendant: Former Mississippi governor ordered payments to NFL’s Brett Favre
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A defendant in a Mississippi welfare fraud case said in a court document she directed $1.1 million in welfare money to former NFL star Brett Favre at the direction of former Gov. Phil Bryant.
Mississippi news outlets report that the accusation, which Bryant denies, is in a filing on behalf of defendant Nancy New, who, with her son, once ran a nonprofit group and an education company in Mississippi.
After pleading guilty in April to criminal charges, Nancy New, 69, and her son Zachary New, 39, agreed to testify against others in what the state auditor has called Mississippi’s largest public corruption case in the past two decades.
Her court filing is in a civil case filed by the Mississippi Department of Human Services against Mississippi Community Education Center Inc., once run by the New family. In the 29-page document, her attorneys say she was acting at the direction of MDHS officials in the awarding of various contracts and allocation of funds.
The filing was dated Monday and was first reported by Mississippi Today, a nonprofit digital news operation that has reported extensively on the welfare scandal.
She specifically mentions Bryant regarding $1.1 million in money paid to Favre “in consideration for Favre speaking at events, keynote speaking, radio and promotional events, and business partner development.”
A spokesperson for the former governor released a statement denying the accusations, according to WAPT-TV.
“These allegations made against Gov. Bryant are false. Every claim against these individuals was discovered and prosecuted as a result of an investigation Gov. Bryant requested of the state auditor,” the statement said.
The state auditor has demanded repayment of $77 million of misspent welfare funds, including the $1.1 million paid to the retired NFL quarterback.
Favre has not been charged with any criminal wrongdoing and has repaid the money. He has said that he didn’t know the money he received came from welfare funds, and has denied the auditor’s allegations that he was paid for events he didn’t attend. Favre also said his charity had provided millions of dollars to poor children in Mississippi, where he lives, and Wisconsin, where he was a star with the Green Bay Packers.

The report, "Caring at Ginkgo," outlines the company's approach to sustainability, internal governance structures, and how its cell engineering platform is deployed
BOSTON, July 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Ginkgo Bioworks (NYSE: DNA), the leading horizontal platform for cell programming, today published its inaugural Sustainability Report. The report highlights the company's vision for and approach to sustainability, includes case studies across its ecosystem, and reports data according to leading environmental, social, and governance ("ESG") frameworks.
"Ginkgo is building a horizontal platform for programming cells across organisms in any market and in the process, we're trying to address some of our most difficult environmental and societal challenges," said Jason Kelly, CEO and co-founder of Ginkgo Bioworks. "Engineers often say that technology is neutral; however, we believe that we cannot remain neutral when it comes to the use of biotechnology. We care how our platform is used and about the impact it has on the world."
Ginkgo's inaugural Sustainability Report shares the company's perspectives across three main sections: "The Impact of Cell Programming", which describes how Ginkgo seeks to prioritize environmental stewardship throughout its operations and programs; "Technology isn't Neutral", which sets out Ginkgo's views on its role in society and in its community; and "Ownership is the First Step in Caring", which outlines Ginkgo's governance structures and commitment to worker ownership. The report was guided by key ESG frameworks and standards, as well as a third-party led materiality assessment informed by stakeholder engagement.
"Making biology easier to engineer requires working on not just the technical aspects of programming DNA, but also on how we build our culture, our governance, and our ecosystem," said Christina Agapakis, Head of the Sociotechnical Studio at Ginkgo Bioworks. "This is our first sustainability report as a public company, bringing together the environmental impact, social context, and governance of synthetic biology under our framework for caring how our platform is used. We look forward to sharing our progress and continuing the conversation about the impacts and implications of synthetic biology, because a future where we can grow everything requires care, transparency, and many voices."
One core focus of Ginkgo's ESG framework involves the use of its cell programming platform to positively impact the environment. In recent years, companies have increasingly looked to synthetic biology to reduce emissions and reliance on limited natural resources. Ginkgo's platform has supported a variety of companies and initiatives involved in the development of climate tech, including:
- Genomatica, which is seeking to accelerate the world's transformation to sustainable materials by replacing fossil fuel sources with plants;
- Joyn Bio and Bayer, which are developing engineered microbes to provide nitrogen for crops to significantly reduce the need for synthetic fertilizer;
- Motif Foodworks, which is developing proteins and molecules that make plant-based protein more delicious and contribute to more sustainable food systems; and
- Allonnia, which is developing enzymes that degrade harmful plastics and other environmental toxins.
Moving forward, Ginkgo plans to regularly assess its own sustainability impact, working alongside third parties to facilitate the development and availability of evaluation tools useful for the broader bioeconomy ecosystem.
About Ginkgo Bioworks
Ginkgo is building a platform to enable customers to program cells as easily as we can program computers. The company's platform is enabling biotechnology applications across diverse markets, from food and agriculture to industrial chemicals to pharmaceuticals. Ginkgo has also actively supported a number of COVID-19 response efforts, including K-12 pooled testing, vaccine manufacturing optimization and therapeutics discovery.

ROME (AP) — Iran’s foreign minister insists that his country opposes Russia’s war against Ukraine but stayed vague Wednesday about whether Tehran’s military cooperation with Moscow would include sales of drones that could carry missiles.
Earlier in the war, Iran was criticized in the West for not condemning Russia’s Feb. 24 invasion of neighboring Ukraine. But Wednesday in the Rome daily La Repubblica, Foreign Minister Hossein-Amir Abdollahian was quoted as saying that “we are against Russia’s military attack in Ukraine.”
Abdollahian arrived in Rome on Monday for a visit including meetings with Italian business officials and industrialists, as well as with the Italian foreign minister and Vatican officials.
The Iranian foreign minister was vague when asked about U.S. contentions that Russia is about to acquire Iranian drones that could transport missiles.
“We have various types of collaboration with Russia, including in the defense sector,” Abdollahian replied. “But we won’t help either of the sides involved in this war because we believe that it (the war) needs to be stopped.”
He went on to slam Western countries, saying their arms manufacturers want to sell weapons, adding: “We will avoid any action that could lead to an escalation, but we will work to stop the war.”
Nuclear talks with Iran have been at a standstill for months. Abdollahian in the interview contended that the negotiators have made progress on a draft agreement but that ” there are other questions to be faced.”
Pressed to elaborate, the minister replied: “We are asking for a strong economic guarantee. If a Western business signs a contract with its Iranian counterpart, it must have the certainty that its project will be realized and will be able to receive compensation.” The comment apparently referring to business deals affected by sanctions against Tehran.
The International Atomic Energy Agency, the U.N.’s nuclear watchdog, reported last month that Iran has 43 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60% purity — a short step to 90%. Nonproliferation experts warn that’s enough fissile material for one nuclear weapon if Iran chose to pursue it.
However, Iran still would need to design a bomb and a delivery system for it, which could likely need months. Iran insists its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.
Tehran’s escalating nuclear work has raised alarms, and transparency is rapidly diminishing over its nuclear program. Last month Iran shut off more than two dozen IAEA monitoring cameras from nuclear-related sites across the country.
Asked about the cameras, Abdollahian denied that the Iranians shut them off, saying instead “we took them off the circuit” and insisting they were voluntarily installed.
“In whatever moment that the negotiations reach some result, we will bring back the 27 video cameras installed by IAEA inside our sites,” the minister said. | https://pix11.com/ap-international/iranian-envoy-is-vague-about-possible-drone-sales-to-russia/ | 2022-07-14T11:33:47Z | https://pix11.com/ap-international/iranian-envoy-is-vague-about-possible-drone-sales-to-russia/ | false |
CHICAGO - A former state Department of Agriculture employee has been indicted on federal charges alleging he groped five women during inspections of Chicago-area doggy daycares and then lied under oath about it in a civil lawsuit filed by one of the alleged victims.
Jose Guillen, 41, of Melrose Park, was arrested Wednesday morning on charges of violation of civil rights under color of law and perjury. He appeared by telephone before U.S. Magistrate Judge David Weisman, who ordered him released on a recognizance bond.
Guillen’s attorney, Nicholas Grapsas, said Guillen has left the Department of Agriculture but is about to start a new role with the state Department of Employment Security. Over Grapsas’ objections, Weisman ruled that his new employer should be notified of the charges because they stem from his official duties with the state.
Guillen resigned from the Department of Agriculture last year, according to a department spokeswoman. An Employment Security Department representative did not immediately return calls seeking comment.
Grapsas entered a plea of not guilty to all counts on Guillen’s behalf. Guillen is due back in court Aug. 10.
According to the indictment, Guillen worked as an animal and animal products investigator, assigned to conduct on-site inspections of animal care facilities in Cook County.
The indictment alleged Guillen grabbed and groped five separate victims between 2019 and 2021 while he was on duty and acting under color of law as a state employee.
Last year, Guillen knowingly lied during a sworn deposition in a federal civil lawsuit filed by one of the alleged victims, Leah Bindig, saying he had accidentally touched Bindig’s buttocks during an on-site inspection as he was trying to break a fall.
“It was accidental,” Guillen said during the deposition, according to a transcript included in the indictment. “I accidentally had my hand, it went like in that direction … I have two left feet so obviously I, I’m a little clumsy.”
He also falsely denied touching other alleged victims in the same deposition, according to the indictment.
WBBM-TV broke the story about the allegations against Guillen last year.
Bindig, who owns Aeslin Pup Hub locations in Bucktown, Noble Square and Ukrainian Village, told CBS that Guillen backed her into a watercooler during an inspection in 2019 and asked to see a photo of her in a bikini.
Surveillance video from the facility allegedly shows the encounter.
“Then he starts putting his hand on my shoulder, on my arm, on my back,” Bindig told the station. “I’m being inspected. I’m not being — we’re not on a date.” | https://pantagraph.com/news/state-and-regional/crime-and-courts/ex-state-inspector-indicted-on-charges-of-groping-women-at-chicago-area-doggy-daycares/article_7bf7e0ca-0303-11ed-83c1-634eb19d1591.html | 2022-07-14T11:34:09Z | https://pantagraph.com/news/state-and-regional/crime-and-courts/ex-state-inspector-indicted-on-charges-of-groping-women-at-chicago-area-doggy-daycares/article_7bf7e0ca-0303-11ed-83c1-634eb19d1591.html | false |

Gender discrimination could be seriously impacting female health, campaigners warn – as over half of women fear they have been misdiagnosed following a visit to a healthcare professional.
Nearly half (49%) of 2,000 women polled claim they were not listened to properly by medical experts, with over a fifth of these (22%) blaming their gender.
And nearly a quarter (23%) suspect they received a wrong diagnosis due to a lack of female medical research – a concern echoed by best-selling author and podcaster Emma Gannon.
Emma said: “Medical research focusing mainly on men is damaging women’s health, resulting in misdiagnoses and potentially threatening lives.
“There is simply not enough data or research available still, which is causing women to not feel understood and heard in the context of their bodies.
“Most doctors really do work hard to help as much as they can, but the data and knowledge hasn't caught up yet, and this gender data gap is at the root of systemic discrimination against women.”
The research was commissioned by digital healthcare platform Livi, which teamed up with Emma Gannon to release a free eBook, “Miss Diagnosed: the health handbook every woman (and man) should read”.
This also found that, of the women who believe they have been misdiagnosed, nearly one in three (29%) still don’t think they’ve received the correct diagnosis.
And alarmingly, for more than a quarter (26%), these were life-altering or -threatening conditions.
Dr Bryony Henderson, the lead GP for the service, said: “Despite our differences in physiology and genetic make-up, collective research suggests there is still a wide gap in knowledge on how medical conditions affect men and women differently.
“And this lack of education can result in women receiving poorer medical advice.
“Until about 25 years ago, almost all medical research was carried out exclusively on men, and so we still have a lot of catching up to do.
“Digital healthcare has a huge role to play in closing the gender health gap, which is why we have used our knowledge to create a free eBook as a resource to help towards doing so.”
The research also revealed the extent of the impact of a misdiagnosis – with 42% saying their mental health was impacted as a result.
More than a third (34%) claimed it was damaging to their relationships with partners, friends, or family – and 18% believe their misdiagnosis was detrimental to their sex life.
What’s more, over one in four women (28%) don’t believe doctors are properly trained in all aspects of women’s health.
The study, by Livi, found the biggest health concerns for women included mental health, menopause and menstruation – while many are also concerned about pregnancy and infertility.
Dr Bryony Henderson, who is also part of the programme offering training to more than 10,000 doctors, added: “In response to these findings, we are strengthening our commitment to providing specialist women’s health training.
“This will cover themes such as menstruation and menopause, not only to our own GPs, but to thousands more doctors across the UK.”

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — The Indiana University Police Department signed a nationwide pledge to bring more women to its police force.
It's called the 30x30 initiative, and its goal is to have female officers make up 30% of participating departments by the year 2030.
IUPD joins Bloomington, Carmel, Noblesville and IMPD in signing the pledge.
Chief Jill Lees has worked for the IUPD Bloomington Division for almost four years. She retired from the Plainfield Police Department after 24 years to take the job in Bloomington.
"I think it is so important to reinforce a positive culture for women," Lees said, "because women make good police officers. Women can do the job."
Lees initially learned of the 30x30 pledge as a member of the National Association of Women Law Enforcement Executives.
"Sometimes, women just have that connection with students to be able to have students come to them and be comfortable about what they might be experiencing or if they might be a victim of a crime," Lees said.
According to the 30x30 initiative, research suggests female officers are perceived by communities as being more compassionate and honest. They also use less force and are named in fewer complaints and lawsuits, according to the research.
Despite that, women only account for 12% of departments nationwide. Only 3% of law enforcement leadership positions are held by women, according to the pledge.
Lees said IUPD's statewide force is comprised of about 20% women.
"That's a good baseline and a good start," Lees said, "but obviously, we would like to have more women apply with us."
Lees said this program is not just about hiring women, but rather about hiring diverse, quality women to join the policing family.
"We are a resource for campus," Lees said, "and we want to reflect our campus community."
Officer Gabby Mitchum, who has been with the Bloomington department for about six months, completed the 48th Indiana University Police Academy in 2021 before making the trip to Bloomington.
"As a female officer, it takes a sense of confidence to be able to go out there and know that you can handle yourself and take calls," Mitchum said. "A lot of people seem to confide in female officers more than male officers."
For that reason, Mitchum said representation makes it easier for her to connect with the campus community.
"It goes back to one of the reasons I chose IU," Mitchum said. "[It] was for a family dynamic and being able to see that our leadership cares about its officers enough to want to make a pledge to bring more women into law enforcement."
Lees said one of the first steps to completing the 30x30 pledge will be hosting listening sessions with women in departments across the state.
According to Mitchum, it's important to know how to recruit and retain more female officers.
"Right now, it is about a culture of changing people's perspectives," Mitchum said. "That's what I'm here to do is just be a positive impact on people and show them that us women can do just the same as our men counterparts in this field."
Lees encourages anyone interested in learning more to visit the 30x30 website or to call IUPD.
"Take that leap of faith," Mitchum said. "Don't be hesitant because it's a very rewarding career." | https://www.wthr.com/article/news/local/iupd-commits-hiring-more-female-officers/531-de010c2c-6b5e-4f0e-b091-bce5c6fce769 | 2022-07-14T11:41:03Z | https://www.wthr.com/article/news/local/iupd-commits-hiring-more-female-officers/531-de010c2c-6b5e-4f0e-b091-bce5c6fce769 | true |

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., July 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Allos Pharma Inc ("Allos"), a late-stage pharmaceutical company developing therapeutics for neurodevelopmental disorders, announces presentation of "Arbaclofen produces clinically meaningful improvements in individuals with Fragile X" at the 18th NFXF International Fragile X Conference, July 14-17th, 2022. Allos Pharma was founded to translate breakthrough discoveries in neurobiology into innovative drug treatments that improve the lives of patients and families with Fragile X Syndrome, autism, and other disorders of brain development.
Meaningful change thresholds (MCTs) were applied for improvement on three subscales of the Fragile X-specific aberrant behavior checklist (ABCFX), Irritability, Social Avoidance and Socially Unresponsive/Lethargic to assess efficacy in the Phase 3 trial in children, aged 5-11. Clinically meaningful magnitudes of improvement were observed on all three ABCFX subscales for 45% of individuals receiving the high dose of arbaclofen vs 4% of those treated with placebo (P=0.00003), clearly demonstrating the efficacy of arbaclofen in individuals with Fragile X. "These findings comport remarkably well with experiences reported by clinicians involved in the clinical trials, who reported that ~50% of those receiving arbaclofen showed clear and substantial improvements." Says Dr. Elizabeth Berry-Kravis, MD, Rush University Medical Center.
"We are presenting new analyses of the two phase 3 trials for arbaclofen in Fragile X Syndrome. In addition to the efficacy previously reported, statistically significant efficacy was demonstrated using the current FDA standards for within-subject responder analyses. This represents an important milestone in our work with the regulatory agencies to bring arbaclofen to market" says Randy Carpenter, MD, and co-founder of Allos.
"This result supports our hypothesis that arbaclofen correction of core pathophysiology in Fragile X Syndrome arising from dysregulation of neuronal protein synthesis and hyperexcitability will confer broad therapeutic benefit. Combining the new results with the existing literature forms a positive picture of the efficacy of arbaclofen." says Professor Mark Bear and co-founder of Allos.
Headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Allos Pharma is a late-stage pharmaceutical company developing therapeutics for neurodevelopmental disorders. Our mission is to translate breakthrough discoveries in neurobiology into innovative drug treatments that improve the lives of patients and families with Fragile X Syndrome, autism, and other disorders of brain development. Co-founders Mark Bear and Randy Carpenter previously founded Seaside Therapeutics and advanced arbaclofen through the Phase 3 trials in Fragile X Syndrome. This domain knowledge and expertise will be directly leveraged to advance arbaclofen through NDA approval. For more information visit www.allospharma.com.

(The Car Connection) — A new battlefield has emerged in the century-long tussle between General Motors and Ford: hands-free driving technology.
In recent testing of GM’s Super Cruise in the 2022 Chevrolet Silverado and Ford’s Bluecruise in the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning, one thing became clear. GM is far ahead of Ford when it comes to limited hands-free driving, which is an evolution of adaptive cruise control.
Cruise, or speed, control dates as far back as the rivalry between America’s top two automakers. Yet, the first car to feature a modern version of cruise control was the 1958 Chrysler Imperial which was advertised as an “Auto-pilot.” That’s the same and now controversial name Tesla uses for its semi-autonomous drive system. History may be recursive, but this technology has come a long way.
The promise of a car driving itself in traffic while the operator tends to other business has never been closer to reality. And while the technology exists, the current infrastructure and legal framework keep it at bay. To be clear, there is no such thing as a fully self-driving car on sale today. That threshold of being able to enter a destination and go from point A to point B with no interaction between car and passenger has been identified as a Level 5 advanced driving assistance system (ADAS) by the Society for Automotive Engineering. Super Cruise, Autopilot, and Bluecruise, among others, are considered Level 2, nudging towards Level 3.
Level 2 has been identified as using active lane control and adaptive cruise control at the same time, with the driver maintaining control of these functions even if their hands are off the wheel. Most new cars offer this level of technology, with adaptive cruise control maintaining the gap between a lead car and providing a nice respite on highways; active lane control keeps the car centered in its lane, but can be obtrusive to some drivers, based on the latest customer satisfaction survey from J.D. Power.
Level 3 essentially means that once the driver initiates the system and sits behind the wheel, the system takes over for the rest of the way without any intervention from the driver, until the system demands. We’re not there yet.
SAE levels of driving automation, from none to fully self-driving
Compared to Super Cruise, Ford’s Bluecruise isn’t quite there yet either. Here’s why.
How it works
Both systems use forward-facing cameras as well as navigation info pulled from the GPS and a map database that gets updated routinely (GM says about 7-8 times a year). First launched in 2017, Super Cruise has a significant advantage in tech development. It employs lidar mapping, whereas Ford uses radar, which isn’t as accurate or precise in detecting smaller objects. Originally called Active Drive Assist, Bluecruise (or Activeglide on Lincoln vehicles) didn’t launch until the second half of 2021.
The difference in mapped miles is significant as well, since, unlike Tesla, Ford and GM will not let their systems engage unless it’s part of the mapped database limited to divided highways such as interstates and state highways. GM claims more than 200,000 miles of mapped highways for hands-free driving in U.S. and Canada, and Ford claims to have 130,000 miles. Both automakers say the availability expands with more mapped highways via frequent over-the-air updates.
In practice, they both are an extension of adaptive cruise control with a couple more icons, messages, and warnings mixed in. Also unlike Tesla’s Autopilot, GM and Ford employ a driver-facing camera to monitor eye position and engagement with the road. The monitor for Super Cruise is a tiny camera on the top of the steering column, and the top of the steering wheel itself houses a light bar that’s green when active, or pulsing red when it demands driver intervention.
A similar camera sits on the steering column of the Mach-E, but on the F-150 there are two driver-facing cameras: one is on the left A-pillar by the door, and the other is offset to the right of the steering wheel on the dash between the instrument cluster and touchscreen.
How Super Cruise performs
It’s possible to travel hours in a GM vehicle with Super Cruise activated without needing to intervene, or just by tapping the wheel. To engage the system, press the cruise control button on the steering wheel. A gray steering wheel icon in the center of the instrument cluster or at the top of it will turn green when its in Super Cruise territory. The lightbar in the steering wheel activates from nothingness to green. If the vehicle is not centered in its lane to start, the lightbar appears blue until the conditions are met for it to turn green. It’s unmistakable that it’s on, especially when the voice commands confirm it.
The latest update to Super Cruise includes an automatic lane change function for passing. The driver no longer has to touch the indicator stalk. If you’re in the right lane with Super Cruise set at 70 mph, say, and the lead car is going 65 mph, the system will check to see if the passing lane is open and if so, it will begin a lane change. Before it does an alert flashes in the cluster and the seat side vibrates, so if you’re shifting to the right the right side of the seat will vibrate. Then it activates the blinker, checks the blind spot, and even hustles a few mph over the setting to then clear out of the passing lane and back into the right lane once well clear of the car. It’s more considerate than most drivers and better. And it makes Super Cruise super cool.
Most importantly, it instills confidence and acts as a reassurance. Of all the systems I’ve tested, including earlier iterations of Tesla’s Autopilot, Super Cruise fills dreams of safe, relaxed, open highway cruising. Iterations of Super Cruise with trailering support don’t have the automatic lane change function but do enable Super Cruise to work while towing.
How Bluecruise performs
Because its iconography is blue in the spirit of the Blue Oval, Ford’s Bluecruise is not as clear. Add in a blue background on the Mach-E Mustang and F-150 Lightning, and it’s not as obvious as the green iconography or steering wheel lightbar on Super Cruise. A blue steering-wheel icon with “Hands-Free” appears on the left side of the cluster, which is tiny on the Mach-E Mustang, and a wee little green icon also appears in either the lower or upper corner.
Bluecruise is not as confident or sophisticated as Super Cruise. Super Cruise uses an HD GPS receiver that locates the vehicle within about six feet of its lane, so it knows where it is. Ford relies on cameras and sensors alone, so it is less aware of where it is. It can get confused near off ramps and wary of merging lanes. In my testing on both the Mach-E Mustang and F-150 Lightning, it tended to pinball between the lane for a longer period of time than some cars equipped with only active lane control. It seems to take longer to learn the road patterns, and on curves, ramps, and merges, it can be as dodgy as a teenager in a driving test. It doesn’t hesitate in requesting the driver to take over, and it’s not as relaxing because the steering wheel sensor relies on a tug or some degree of torque from the driver, instead of the touch capacitive steering wheel on Super Cruise.
Bluecruise does not have an auto lane change function yet, but Ford hasn’t rolled it out yet.
What if something goes wrong?
Ford BlueCruise in the 2022 F-150 Lightning, with the driver monitor camera to the right.
Both driver-facing cameras read head and eye position to make sure eyes are on the road. If it detects otherwise, Bluecruise will flash an alert in the instrument cluster that says “Watch the Road,” and there may be an audio reminder. If you don’t respond to the warning, Bluecruise shuts down and automatically slows the vehicle while maintaining the center lane. To turn it off manually, just press the cruise control button.
Ford BlueCruise warning in the F-150
If Bluecruise can’t read lane markings or the lane becomes too narrow, and it detects that the driver’s eyes are not on the road, it will brake and maintain the lane until the driver reengages.
GM Super Cruise warning alert graphic
Super Cruise requests intervention when encountering unusual traffic situations, when exiting the highway, and when merging into traffic, or at a stop or intersection, railroad crossing, or pedestrian crossing. If the system detects the driver’s eye or head position away from the road (such as looking down at a phone), the lightbar flashes green for a few seconds and requests the driver to pay attention and tap the steering wheel. If the driver does not pay attention, audible chimes, seat vibrations, and messaging in the cluster will appear, before the lightbar flashes red. and the other alerts intensify. If there’s still no reaction, Super Cruise goes into emergency mode and activates the hazards, applies the brakes to a stop, and alerts emergency services.

The road to building The Pryde, a Boston housing development aimed at LGBTQ+ seniors, has been surprisingly smooth. That's what made last weekend's homophobic vandalism all the more shocking.
"It was more horrible than I ever imagined it could be because every single one of our banners and signs that we had put up for the groundbreaking had some sort of of graffiti and hateful language and threats painted on it," Gretchen Van Ness, executive director of LGBTQ Senior Housing Inc, one of the groups behind the project, told NPR.
Among the slurs and death threats covering the perimeter of the construction site, which takes up nearly an entire city block of the Hyde Park neighborhood, were messages saying, "We will burn this," "die slow," and "die by fire."
"This was just heartbreaking for the community and for all of us who love this building and love this project," Van Ness said, explaining that the graffiti was spray painted either late Saturday night or early Sunday morning.
But just hours later, that heartbreak turned into "a phenomenal experience," she said.
The attack has brought the surrounding community together and city leaders, including Mayor Michelle Wu, immediately condemned the vandalism.
On Sunday, more than 100 supporters of the 74-unit housing project showed up with their own signs welcoming future residents of the space, and ready to help and cover up the anti-gay rhetoric.
"By the end of the day, it was the best possible day because we knew that we needed to do something to stand up to these bullies and these threats, because essentially bullies are cowards and they should be ashamed and we refuse to let them shame us," Van Ness said.
Meanwhile, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu also responded on Twitter, writing, "Hate & acts of vandalism will not be tolerated at the Pryde — or anywhere in Boston."
"This affordable, LGBTQ+ senior housing development has been led by local residents, boosted by neighborhood voices & fueled by united support. We will move even faster to get it done," Wu said.
Van Ness noted that the attack has not slowed or impacted construction at the site – a century-old elementary school that's been vacant since 2015.
The anti-LGBTQ incident at The Pryde follows a pop-up protest by members of a white nationalist hate group called the Patriot Front less than two weeks ago.
About 100 members marched along Boston's Freedom Trail, wearing white face coverings, navy blue shirts, and khaki pants. The sudden parade appeared to have caught local law enforcement off guard, according to Wu.
The group has chapters in over 40 states, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center. (Last month, 31 members from 10 states were arrested near a Pride event in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, on a charge of conspiracy to riot.)
Van Ness said she and her team are organizing a community meeting for sometime later this week or next, to assuage the fears of elder LGBTQ+ Boston residents. For now, the Boston Police Department has stationed at least one patrol car at the site, she added.
When asked if eligible Pryde residents might be afraid to move in, Van Ness said the recent defacing and subsequent media coverage has actually led to greater interest in the housing development.
"We have gotten nonstop inquiries from across Massachusetts since Sunday, saying, how do I apply? I want to come live there," she said.
"So, I mean, whatever the cowardly vandal tried to do, if they thought they were going to stop us, they had the absolute opposite effect."
For those who might be ready to pack their bags, she said, "we want to let everybody know that the housing lottery will open next summer."

LONDON (AP) — A previously unknown self-portrait of Vincent Van Gogh has been discovered behind another of the artist's paintings, the National Galleries of Scotland said Thursday.
The self-portrait was found on the back of Van Gogh’s “Head of a Peasant Woman” when expects at the Edinburgh gallery took an X-Ray of the canvas ahead of an upcoming exhibition.
The work is believed to have been hidden for over a century, covered by layers of glue and cardboard when it was framed in the early 20th century.
Van Gogh was known for turning canvases around and painting on the other side to save money.
The portrait shows a bearded sitter in a brimmed hat. Experts said the subject was instantly recognizable as the artist himself, and is thought to be from his early work. The left ear is clearly visible, and Van Gogh famously cut his off in 1888.
Frances Fowle, a senior curator at the National Galleries of Scotland, said the discovery was “thrilling.”
“Moments like this are incredibly rare," she said. “We have discovered an unknown work by Vincent Van Gogh, one of the most important and popular artists in the world."
The gallery said experts are evaluating how to remove the glue and cardboard without harming “Head of a Peasant Woman.”
Visitors to an upcoming Impressionist exhibit at the Royal Scottish Academy in Edinburgh can see an X-Ray image of the self-portrait through a lightbox. | https://www.theintelligencer.com/news/article/Van-Gogh-self-portrait-found-hidden-behind-17304429.php | 2022-07-14T11:56:03Z | https://www.theintelligencer.com/news/article/Van-Gogh-self-portrait-found-hidden-behind-17304429.php | true |

No Evidence of Results-Altering Fraud or Misconduct Identified
WASHINGTON, July 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- After reviewing every claim of fraud and irregularities brought by Donald Trump and his supporters in all 64 cases challenging the 2020 election, a group of notable conservatives has reached the "unequivocal" conclusion that Trump's claims of election fraud are unsupported by evidence.
The group also examined all post-election reviews and audits in six battleground states. "Donald Trump and his supporters had their day in court and failed to produce substantive evidence to make their case," Lost, Not Stolen: The Conservative Case Trump Lost and Biden Won the 2020 Presidential Election states.
The 72-page report is signed by retired federal appeals court judges Thomas B. Griffith, J. Michael Luttig and Michael W. McConnell, former Solicitor General Theodore B. Olson, Senators John Danforth and Gordon H. Smith, longtime Republican election lawyer Benjamin L. Ginsberg and veteran Republican congressional chief of staff David Hoppe.
Each has worked in Republican politics, been appointed to office by Republicans, or is otherwise associated with the GOP. Several have worked as Republican poll workers or assisted in election day operations monitoring voting. None has shifted to the Democratic Party.
But they expressed deep concern over recent polls showing these unproven claims have significantly impacted Americans' confidence in election results. The report notes that "repetition of these false charges causes real harm to the basic foundations of the country" and that having "30 percent of the country lack faith in election results based on unsubstantiated claims of a 'stolen' election is not sustainable in a democracy."
The report does not question former President Trump's right to bring the 64 cases but observes: "Once they had lost, Trump and his supporters had an obligation to recognize that the election debate was over. Questions of election legality must be resolved dispassionately in courts of law, not through rallies and demonstrations."
The report's conclusion of insufficient evidence to support charges that the 2020 results were fraudulent came after a review of all 187 counts in the 64 cases Trump and his supporters filed in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
For example, Trump supporters called Nevada "the big treasure trove of illegal balloting," yet they failed to produce any evidence to support those claims. Subsequent investigations by local election officials and the Nevada Secretary of State, a Republican, found only 100 cases of potential fraud; Biden won by over 33,000 votes.
In Georgia, the Republican Secretary of State conducted a full manual recount of all five million ballots and investigated numerous specific allegations of fraud along with the Georgia Bureau of Investigations. That resulted in discovering approximately 64 instances of potential fraud, of which 31 were administrative errors amounting to one half of one percent of Biden's victory there.

BETHESDA, Md., July 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Walker & Dunlop, Inc. announced today that it completed the sale and acquisition financing for 7 Square, a 402-unit, Class A apartment community in Houston, Texas. Located less than ten miles from Downtown Houston, the property features excellent access to major employment centers, shopping, entertainment, and top-rated schools.
Walker & Dunlop's Ryan Epstein and Jennifer Ray represented the seller in the disposition. The team collaborated with Mark Vinitsky and Harvey Pava of Walker & Dunlop's Capital Markets group to structure acquisition financing for the buyer at closing. The bridge loan features a three-year term with interest-only payments.
"7 Square has an unparalleled location within the Memorial school district. While the property is beautifully appointed, the asset had never gone through a programmatic upgrade and new ownership has the opportunity to make modest upgrades to further improve rental rates and operations," said Managing Director, Ryan Epstein. "The buyer plans on updating both the units and common areas to better compete with newer assets in the area."
Located along Houston's major thoroughfares, 7 Square is perfectly positioned to cater to renters looking to shorten their commute and maintain the benefits and amenities of the city's urban core. The property features upscale interiors in one- and two-bedroom apartment options. Community amenities include two pools, a fitness center, yoga and spin room, private wine room, outdoor grilling stations, and structured parking.

BERLIN (AP) — Local officials with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s party met Thursday to consider calls to expel former Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder.
Schroeder’s longstanding ties to the Russian energy sector and refusal to distance himself fully from President Vladimir Putin after Russia invaded Ukraine have left his political standing in tatters.
An arbitration committee of the center-left Social Democrats’ branch in Hannover, where Schroeder lives, was considering 17 applications from party members to have him kicked out.
No immediate decision was expected. In Germany, expelling party members is a complicated process that frequently fails.
Schroeder didn’t attend the hearing and also didn’t have a lawyer represent him, German news agency dpa reported.
The 78-year-old Schroeder has shown no sign of heeding calls from senior party figures to leave of his own accord. He was chancellor from 1998 to 2005 and was the Social Democrats’ leader from 1999 to 2004.
In May, Russian state energy company Rosneft said that Schroeder planned to step down from its board of directors, which he had chaired since 2017. He also isn’t taking up a nomination, made public a few weeks before Russia’s war in Ukraine started on Feb. 24, to join Gazprom’s board of directors.
Schroeder has had other ties to the Russian energy sector, chairing for years the shareholders’ committee of Nord Stream AG — the company that runs the Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline under the Baltic Sea — and heading the board of directors of Nord Stream 2, a second pipeline that Scholz’s government halted in February. He has been a longtime friend of Putin.
In May, German lawmakers agreed to shut down Schroeder’s taxpayer-funded office.
Schroeder has shrugged off the pressure, saying in comments to the daily Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung published Monday that he “won’t give up my opportunities to speak to President Putin” and questioning a focus on delivering weapons to Ukraine.
“I don’t believe in a military solution,” he said. | https://www.binghamtonhomepage.com/news/international/scholz-party-mulls-bids-to-expel-german-ex-leader-schroeder/ | 2022-07-14T12:02:14Z | https://www.binghamtonhomepage.com/news/international/scholz-party-mulls-bids-to-expel-german-ex-leader-schroeder/ | true |

As COVID-19 pandemic entered a new phase and changing workforce dynamics reshaped labor market, well-being improved in key well-being and SDOH domains across the nation
ATLANTA and BOSTON, July 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As the COVID-19 pandemic reached its second year in 2021, Massachusetts emerged as the healthiest state in the nation, according to a study released today by Sharecare (Nasdaq: SHCR), the digital health company that helps people manage all their health in one place, in partnership with the Boston University School of Public Health (BUSPH). While overall well-being remained generally unchanged at a national level in 2021, the latest Sharecare Community Well-Being Index state rankings report reveals improvements in key domains as COVID-19 vaccines ushered in a sense of normalcy and evolving workforce dynamics took hold across the U.S.
Built on more than a decade of measurement and over 4 million surveys completed to date, the nationally representative dataset comprising the Sharecare Community Well-Being Index is the most comprehensive assessment of community health in the country. As in previous years, the newly released research assessed the well-being of nearly 500,000 Americans spanning all 50 states in 2021 across individual well-being domains, including physical, social, community, purpose, and financial; and also analyzed more than 600 elements of social determinants of health (SDOH) to identify those data most associated with community health outcomes – healthcare access, food access, resource access, housing and transportation, and economic security.
Massachusetts maintains #1 spot, Mississippi remains at bottom for third year running
The following states achieved the highest and lowest scores in the nation for overall well-being, respectively:
The highest-ranked states shared several commonalities. Across the five individual well-being domains studied, the three healthiest states in 2021 – Massachusetts (#1), Hawaii (#2), and New Jersey (#3) – each earned scores among the top five in the nation. These states also achieved best-in-nation scores in the SDOH domain of healthcare access. Nine of the 10 top-ranked states also performed highly in the domain of physical well-being with scores among the 10 highest in the nation.
The analysis of the lowest-ranked states in 2021 also uncovered common challenges in both individual well-being and SDOH domains, with Mississippi earning last-in-the-nation scores in most domains and maintaining its #50 overall ranking for the third year in a row. Each of the bottom 10 states earned lowest-in-nation scores in the well-being domain of community, which measures the extent to which individuals like where they live and have pride in their community. Similarly, nine of the 10 lowest-ranked states landed in the bottom quintile for purpose well-being, defined as liking what you do each day and feeling motivated to achieve your goals.
Dimensions of well-being influenced by COVID-19 vaccine rollout, evolving workforce dynamics
Overall well-being throughout the nation scored 60.9 out of 100, representing minor gains from 60.5 in 2020. However, a detailed review of the domains comprising the Index reveals more dramatic changes from 2019 to 2021.
As the introduction and rollout of several COVID-19 vaccines modified risk tolerance for social gatherings and returning to in-person work, domain scores measuring community and social bonds also increased. In the financial well-being domain, which measures individuals' ability to manage their economic life to increase financial security and reduce stress, the nation's score also increased to pre-pandemic levels – reversing a year-over-year decline measured between 2019 and 2020.
Additionally, purpose well-being increased by a statistically significant 5.7 points, from 59.0 in 2019, to 62.7 in 2020, to 64.7 in 2021. Notably, this trend occurred as many people left the workforce or moved to jobs that better aligned with their personal and professional goals; by effect, these behaviors appeared to compound gains observed since the beginning of the pandemic.
Further, an additional analysis1 of Sharecare's 2021 rankings captured an association between job resignation rates and several domains impacting states' overall well-being. Compared to the 10 states with the lowest resignation rates, the 10 states with the highest resignation rates in 2021 ranked on average:
- 19 positions (or approximately 2.8 points) lower in financial well-being.
- 18 positions (or approximately 5.1 points) lower in healthcare access.
- 17 positions (or approximately 1.0 point) lower in community well-being.
"Last year marked a turning point in many ways for well-being across the U.S.," said Dr. Michael Rickles, vice president of research at Sharecare. "As the pandemic consistently and prominently influenced the year end-to-end – from workforce dynamics to social and community engagement – our research findings underscore the fact that well-being is not an accident, but instead the result of a mix of behaviors and social circumstances that shape our lives. Our hope is that leaders – both in the public and private sectors – can study their states' performance to understand their strengths and weaknesses across domains so that they can foster healthy, thriving communities."
"This initial analysis of 2021 data from the Sharecare Community Well-Being Index adds nuance to our ongoing study of the well-being landscape in the U.S.," said Dr. Kimberly Dukes, executive director of BUSPH's Biostatistics & Epidemiology Data Analytics Center. "As a new phase of a once-in-a-century pandemic met unique economic forces, the data show that several domains of well-being trended in positive directions, and in one case 'recovered' to pre-pandemic levels. Data collected in 2022 will help us understand how community well-being fared as many pandemic-related restrictions were formally loosened and inflation continues to increase."
To arrive at these results, Sharecare and BUSPH conducted web and mail surveys among 495,783 U.S. residents aged 18 and older throughout 2021 and analyzed more than 600 elements of SDOH data. Results are nationally representative. To read the full report and to learn about the project's methodology, visit wellbeingindex.sharecare.com/reports.

(The Car Connection) — A new battlefield has emerged in the century-long tussle between General Motors and Ford: hands-free driving technology.
In recent testing of GM’s Super Cruise in the 2022 Chevrolet Silverado and Ford’s Bluecruise in the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning, one thing became clear. GM is far ahead of Ford when it comes to limited hands-free driving, which is an evolution of adaptive cruise control.
Cruise, or speed, control dates as far back as the rivalry between America’s top two automakers. Yet, the first car to feature a modern version of cruise control was the 1958 Chrysler Imperial which was advertised as an “Auto-pilot.” That’s the same and now controversial name Tesla uses for its semi-autonomous drive system. History may be recursive, but this technology has come a long way.
The promise of a car driving itself in traffic while the operator tends to other business has never been closer to reality. And while the technology exists, the current infrastructure and legal framework keep it at bay. To be clear, there is no such thing as a fully self-driving car on sale today. That threshold of being able to enter a destination and go from point A to point B with no interaction between car and passenger has been identified as a Level 5 advanced driving assistance system (ADAS) by the Society for Automotive Engineering. Super Cruise, Autopilot, and Bluecruise, among others, are considered Level 2, nudging towards Level 3.
Level 2 has been identified as using active lane control and adaptive cruise control at the same time, with the driver maintaining control of these functions even if their hands are off the wheel. Most new cars offer this level of technology, with adaptive cruise control maintaining the gap between a lead car and providing a nice respite on highways; active lane control keeps the car centered in its lane, but can be obtrusive to some drivers, based on the latest customer satisfaction survey from J.D. Power.
Level 3 essentially means that once the driver initiates the system and sits behind the wheel, the system takes over for the rest of the way without any intervention from the driver, until the system demands. We’re not there yet.
SAE levels of driving automation, from none to fully self-driving
Compared to Super Cruise, Ford’s Bluecruise isn’t quite there yet either. Here’s why.
How it works
Both systems use forward-facing cameras as well as navigation info pulled from the GPS and a map database that gets updated routinely (GM says about 7-8 times a year). First launched in 2017, Super Cruise has a significant advantage in tech development. It employs lidar mapping, whereas Ford uses radar, which isn’t as accurate or precise in detecting smaller objects. Originally called Active Drive Assist, Bluecruise (or Activeglide on Lincoln vehicles) didn’t launch until the second half of 2021.
The difference in mapped miles is significant as well, since, unlike Tesla, Ford and GM will not let their systems engage unless it’s part of the mapped database limited to divided highways such as interstates and state highways. GM claims more than 200,000 miles of mapped highways for hands-free driving in U.S. and Canada, and Ford claims to have 130,000 miles. Both automakers say the availability expands with more mapped highways via frequent over-the-air updates.
In practice, they both are an extension of adaptive cruise control with a couple more icons, messages, and warnings mixed in. Also unlike Tesla’s Autopilot, GM and Ford employ a driver-facing camera to monitor eye position and engagement with the road. The monitor for Super Cruise is a tiny camera on the top of the steering column, and the top of the steering wheel itself houses a light bar that’s green when active, or pulsing red when it demands driver intervention.
A similar camera sits on the steering column of the Mach-E, but on the F-150 there are two driver-facing cameras: one is on the left A-pillar by the door, and the other is offset to the right of the steering wheel on the dash between the instrument cluster and touchscreen.
How Super Cruise performs
It’s possible to travel hours in a GM vehicle with Super Cruise activated without needing to intervene, or just by tapping the wheel. To engage the system, press the cruise control button on the steering wheel. A gray steering wheel icon in the center of the instrument cluster or at the top of it will turn green when its in Super Cruise territory. The lightbar in the steering wheel activates from nothingness to green. If the vehicle is not centered in its lane to start, the lightbar appears blue until the conditions are met for it to turn green. It’s unmistakable that it’s on, especially when the voice commands confirm it.
The latest update to Super Cruise includes an automatic lane change function for passing. The driver no longer has to touch the indicator stalk. If you’re in the right lane with Super Cruise set at 70 mph, say, and the lead car is going 65 mph, the system will check to see if the passing lane is open and if so, it will begin a lane change. Before it does an alert flashes in the cluster and the seat side vibrates, so if you’re shifting to the right the right side of the seat will vibrate. Then it activates the blinker, checks the blind spot, and even hustles a few mph over the setting to then clear out of the passing lane and back into the right lane once well clear of the car. It’s more considerate than most drivers and better. And it makes Super Cruise super cool.
Most importantly, it instills confidence and acts as a reassurance. Of all the systems I’ve tested, including earlier iterations of Tesla’s Autopilot, Super Cruise fills dreams of safe, relaxed, open highway cruising. Iterations of Super Cruise with trailering support don’t have the automatic lane change function but do enable Super Cruise to work while towing.
How Bluecruise performs
Because its iconography is blue in the spirit of the Blue Oval, Ford’s Bluecruise is not as clear. Add in a blue background on the Mach-E Mustang and F-150 Lightning, and it’s not as obvious as the green iconography or steering wheel lightbar on Super Cruise. A blue steering-wheel icon with “Hands-Free” appears on the left side of the cluster, which is tiny on the Mach-E Mustang, and a wee little green icon also appears in either the lower or upper corner.
Bluecruise is not as confident or sophisticated as Super Cruise. Super Cruise uses an HD GPS receiver that locates the vehicle within about six feet of its lane, so it knows where it is. Ford relies on cameras and sensors alone, so it is less aware of where it is. It can get confused near off ramps and wary of merging lanes. In my testing on both the Mach-E Mustang and F-150 Lightning, it tended to pinball between the lane for a longer period of time than some cars equipped with only active lane control. It seems to take longer to learn the road patterns, and on curves, ramps, and merges, it can be as dodgy as a teenager in a driving test. It doesn’t hesitate in requesting the driver to take over, and it’s not as relaxing because the steering wheel sensor relies on a tug or some degree of torque from the driver, instead of the touch capacitive steering wheel on Super Cruise.
Bluecruise does not have an auto lane change function yet, but Ford hasn’t rolled it out yet.
What if something goes wrong?

Both driver-facing cameras read head and eye position to make sure eyes are on the road. If it detects otherwise, Bluecruise will flash an alert in the instrument cluster that says “Watch the Road,” and there may be an audio reminder. If you don’t respond to the warning, Bluecruise shuts down and automatically slows the vehicle while maintaining the center lane. To turn it off manually, just press the cruise control button.

If Bluecruise can’t read lane markings or the lane becomes too narrow, and it detects that the driver’s eyes are not on the road, it will brake and maintain the lane until the driver reengages.
GM Super Cruise warning alert graphic
Super Cruise requests intervention when encountering unusual traffic situations, when exiting the highway, and when merging into traffic, or at a stop or intersection, railroad crossing, or pedestrian crossing. If the system detects the driver’s eye or head position away from the road (such as looking down at a phone), the lightbar flashes green for a few seconds and requests the driver to pay attention and tap the steering wheel. If the driver does not pay attention, audible chimes, seat vibrations, and messaging in the cluster will appear, before the lightbar flashes red. and the other alerts intensify. If there’s still no reaction, Super Cruise goes into emergency mode and activates the hazards, applies the brakes to a stop, and alerts emergency services.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., July 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- VPR Brands, LP (OTC: VPRB):
On July 12, 2022, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) of the United States Patent and Trademark Office ruled to uphold the validity of VPR Brands Patent and denied institution of the petition for inter partes review (IPR) filed by Jupiter Research, LLC in Case No. IPR2022-00299 seeking to invalidate the Company's US Patent number 8,205,622 B2. The decision of the PTAB is not appealable.
The company owns Intellectual Property which is one of the original Patents filed for electronic cigarette technology. This Patent dates to 2009 and includes independent claims covering electronic cigarette products containing an electric airflow sensor, including a sensor comprised of a diaphragm microphone. The sensor turns the battery on and off, and covers most auto-draw, button less e-cigarettes, cig-a-likes, pod devices and vaporizers using an airflow sensor rather than a button.
The PTAB determined in its decision denying institution Jupiter did not establish a reasonable likelihood that claims 13 through 18 of the Company's '622 patent are unpatentable. The PTAB decision analyzed the prior art presented by Jupiter and rejected all prior art references.
The PTAB's decision denying institution clears the way for the Company's infringement litigation against Jupiter pending in the District of Arizona to proceed. Claim construction in that pending suit has already been completed. While some discovery still remains, the case should proceed to pre-trial motions this year.
The Company is represented by SRIPLAW, P.A. in the Arizona case as well as in the IPR review proceeding before the PTAB.
VPR Brands along with SRIPLAW has started to identify and notify over 50 of the leading companies using the Auto Draw Technology and VPR Brands intends to vigorously enforce its Patent. These companies were prioritized, based on sales volume and popularity. Most recently VPR Brands LP and its legal team, headed by Joel B Rothman of SRIPLAW, have filed litigation against 9 of the companies. Additional lawsuits will continue to be filed as necessary to protect the company's Intellectual Property rights.
The vaping industry has matured in size and continues to grow. The company believes that its patent puts them in a unique position to capitalize on the recent surge in e-cigarette/vape usage that resulted in what some analysts estimate to be a $6 billion e-cigarette market, not including devices sold for cannabis and CBD.
A majority of the vaping devices sold in the U.S. now utilize an auto-draw/button-less technology. The company is investigating all button-less vape devices within the nicotine, CBD, and cannabis space that initiate vaporization from the user's airflow inhalation as they would be suspect of infringement.
The company may also seek a buyer for this patent in the future. As an example of past patent sales for electronic cigarettes, another company, Ruyan, gained a U.S. patent for its electronic cigarette product. In August 2013, Imperial Tobacco Group purchased the intellectual property behind the Ruyan e-cigarette for $75 million. The market was barely what it is today and has grown tremendously since 2013.

NEW YORK (AP) — A former CIA software engineer was convicted Wednesday of federal charges accusing him of the biggest theft of classified information in CIA history.
Joshua Schulte, who chose to defend himself at a New York City retrial, had told jurors in closing arguments that the CIA and FBI made him a scapegoat for an embarrassing public release of a trove of CIA secrets by WikiLeaks in 2017.
Schulte watched without visibly reacting as U.S. District Judge Jesse M. Furman announced the guilty verdict on nine counts, which was reached in mid-afternoon by a jury that had deliberated since Friday.
The so-called Vault 7 leak revealed how the CIA hacked Apple and Android smartphones in overseas spying operations, and efforts to turn internet-connected televisions into listening devices. Prior to his arrest, Schulte had helped create the hacking tools as a coder at the agency’s headquarters in Langley, Virginia.
A sentencing date was not immediately set because Schulte still awaits trial on charges of possessing and transporting child pornography. He has pleaded not guilty.
Attorney Sabrina Shroff, who advised Schulte during the trial, told Schulte’s mother after the verdict that the outcome was a “kick to the gut, the brain and heart.” It was unclear if Shroff was expressing her own sentiments or Schulte’s.
In his closing, Schulte claimed he was singled out even though “hundreds of people had access to (the information). … Hundreds of people could have stolen it.”
“The government’s case is riddled with reasonable doubt,” he added. “There’s simply no motive here.”
Prosecutors alleged the 33-year-old Schulte was motivated to orchestrate the leak because he believed the CIA had disrespected him by ignoring his complaints about the work environment. So he tried “to burn to the ground” the very work he had helped the agency to create, they said.
Assistant U.S. Attorney David Denton encouraged jurors to consider evidence of an attempted cover-up, including a list of chores Schulte drew up that had an entry reading, “Delete suspicious emails.”
U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said in a statement that Schulte was convicted of “one of the most brazen and damaging acts of espionage in American history.”
Williams said Schulte, motivated by resentment toward the CIA, leaked to the public and to U.S. adversaries some of the nation’s “most valuable intelligence-gathering cyber tools used to battle terrorist organizations and other malign influences around the globe.”
The prosecutor said Schulte knew the leak would render the CIA’s tools “essentially useless, having a devastating effect on our intelligence community by providing critical intelligence to those who wish to do us harm.”
While behind bars awaiting trial, prosecutors said he continued his crimes by trying to leak additional classified materials as he carried on an “information war” against the government.
Once the jury left the courtroom for deliberations, the judge complimented Schulte on his closing argument.
“Mr. Schulte, that was impressively done,” Furman said. “Depending on what happens here, you may have a future as a defense lawyer.”
A mistrial was declared at Schulte’s original 2020 trial after jurors deadlocked on the most serious counts, including illegal gathering and transmission of national defense information. Schulte told the judge last year that he wanted to serve as his own attorney for the retrial.
He has not announced whether he wants to represent himself at his next trial, which involves allegations that after leaving the CIA, Schulte moved to New York from Virginia with a computer that contained images and videos of child pornography he had downloaded from the internet from 2009 to March 2017.
Schulte has been held behind bars without bail since 2018. Last year, he complained in court papers that he was a victim of cruel and unusual punishment, awaiting the two trials in solitary confinement inside a vermin-infested cell of a jail unit where inmates are treated like “caged animals.” | https://cw33.com/news/ap-top-headlines/ex-cia-engineer-convicted-in-massive-theft-of-secret-info/ | 2022-07-14T12:11:36Z | https://cw33.com/news/ap-top-headlines/ex-cia-engineer-convicted-in-massive-theft-of-secret-info/ | true |
The same-day delivery company and shopping accomplice unveils data based on recent study of caregiver, teacher and college student purchasing plans, paired with recommendations from the actress; announces multi-city tour for the whole family to attend!
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., July 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Back to school is just around the corner, which is why today, Shipt, the same-day delivery company and shopping accomplice, is releasing the Ultimate School Shopping Guide to help parents, teachers and college students navigate what to buy ahead of the return to school. Shipt also tapped its trusted brand ambassador and mother of two, Kristen Bell, to offer her expertise in back to school preparation.
Known for their personalized shopping experience, Shipt recently polled parents, caregivers, teachers and college students to uncover the top must-have school supplies for back to school preparation. Rooted in insights from the survey as well as proprietary Shipt data, the same-day delivery company created the Ultimate School Shopping Guide, a shoppable menu of school essentials to assist consumers throughout the retail season. Available on the Shipt app now, customers can purchase everything they need for the first day ahead of time with ease.
"Back to school season is incredibly exciting - new school supplies, new teachers and new routines - but can also feel overwhelming and stressful with all that's needed to prepare and purchase," said Rina Hurst, Chief Business Officer at Shipt and mother of two young kids. "After a summer of free time and fun activities, it's difficult to get back into the mindset of the school season, which is why Shipt is taking the guesswork out of back to school shopping this year. Our Ultimate School Shopping Guide makes back to school shopping easy by sharing insights from parents, teachers and students around the country on what products you really need to purchase this year, and where you can save your budget. With just a few, easy steps, you can have your entire Ultimate School Shopping Guide delivered right to your door so you can focus on getting organized and ready for the busy year ahead."
July is the most popular time to begin school shopping, according to teachers (50%) as well as parents and caregivers (37%). So, where should shoppers start? According to Shipt's Ultimate Shopping Guide, here are the top insights to know:
- No Back-to-Back Backpacks: To no surprise, backpacks are one of the hottest items to purchase for parents of students, with a staggering 84% of parents purchasing a new backpack every year.
- Write This One Down: While nearly half of parents (41%) claim they buy just 5-15 pens or pencils for the year, those same supplies are what more than half of parents (52%) claim their children run out of the fastest.
- Classroom SOS: For those looking to lend a helping hand, the top two items that teachers run out of the fastest in their classroom are pencils and dry erase markers (last year alone, Shipt delivered nearly 5,000 dry erase marker packs!).
- Lunch Box Ready: Preparing school lunches is a full-time job for some parents with over one in four (28%) reporting that they purchase school snacks and lunch supplies on a daily basis. Did you know over 27 million packages of Cheez-Its® were sold last year around back to school season, as well as 23 million packages of Goldfish® and nearly 900,000 Nature Valley Granola Bars, according to Shipt data?
- Digital Classrooms: In addition to pens, notebooks, calculators and books, teachers are also purchasing bigger ticket items this back-to-school season with 72% planning to purchase an electronic tablet for school use.
- Dorm Room Decorators: Living in a college dorm is likely the first time students have total control over their bedroom decor – so, what will they do with this new found freedom? Over half plan to use photos to decorate (59%) or store-bought art (58%). Additional dorm room must-haves include bedding sets with pillows, microwaves, towels and lamps.
- Keepin' It Cool: Whether you're hosting, studying or late night-snacking, don't forget to add a mini fridge to your dorm room must-haves this school year. Almost half of college students (44%) report that they've purchased a mini fridge in the past and plan to do so again. And, what's the number one item stocked in their mini fridges? One in three college students (33%) say beverages.
In addition to the survey's data-driven insights, Kristen Bell, mother of two with years of back to school preparation, also shared her recommendations on must-have supplies, including Yoobi Ring Binders, re(zip) Lay Flat Leak Proof Reusable Lunch Bags, Hello Bello Organic Kids' Multivitamin Fruit and Veggie Vegan Gummies, Yoobi Chalk Markers and more.
"As a mother of two active children, I'm always striving to plan ahead and relying on trusted resources to help my family get everything done," said Kristen Bell, actress and mother. "A back to school shopping hack I will never go without is Shipt's personalized shopping and same-day delivery. I know I can count on my Preferred Shopper to get the kids' must-have school supplies and snack essentials without worry."

As thousands gather in Atlantic City for the NAACP’s national convention over the next week, a big focus will be not just on mobilizing voters for November’s midterm elections but also addressing concerns that it’s now more difficult for some Black voters in America to cast a ballot at all.
Some states — most notably Florida, Georgia, and Texas — have enacted laws to tighten voting restrictions in the two years since the polarizing 2020 presidential election, including measures that increase voter ID requirements. Those states are led by Republicans who insist the goal is to reduce the risk of fraud in elections and ensure voting is secure.
Democrats and voting-rights advocates argue those measures simply create more obstacles to vote and discriminate against voters of color. They allege the true aim is to keep away people who might not vote Republican after record turnout from Black and brown communities in recent elections.
They also express worry about the U.S. Supreme Court stripping away voting rights and redistricting diluting the power of Black voters, with recent court rulings in Alabama and Louisiana limiting Black-majority congressional districts to one each.
The NAACP is painting the upcoming election as “an incredible opportunity to build Black political power at every level of the ballot,” while also touting the need to fight back as voting rights are “under attack” more than 150 years after the 15th Amendment gave Black men in the U.S. the right to vote in 1870. The organization and other groups have filed various lawsuits seeking to overturn the new laws and redistricting decisions.
At the NAACP’s convention — which begins Thursday — a panel discussion Monday will examine voting rights in depth. It’s an issue Dominik Whitehead, the organization’s vice president of campaigns, called a “huge concern.”
“If you’re a Black voter, it is extremely alarming in terms of seeing folks literally pull back and continue to create obstacles for voters to actually vote,” Whitehead told NJ Advance Media. “We are in 2022, and we are still discussing in the freest country in the world the right to vote for all people.”
“If you give access to Black and brown folks to make it easier for them to register and to vote, then you’re giving folks access to power and changing what their lives look like from a policy perspective,” he added. “That’s why you see these extreme efforts to make sure people of color aren’t able to vote.”

At the same time, numerous states have enacted laws expanding voting — including Democratic-led New Jersey, where Gov. Phil Murphy has signed laws in recent years to create early in-person voting and automatic voter registration, among others.
Sean Morales-Doyle, acting director of voting rights and elections at New York University’s Brennan Center for Justice, said last year was one “for the record books,” with “more laws passed restricting voting than ever seen, and also more laws passed expanding voting.”
“The state of voting rights in 2022 is a complicated story,” Morales-Doyle said. “It varies state by state. It varies depending on the issue.”
“What that means is: Increasingly, a voter’s access to the ballot box is dependent upon where they live,” he added.
New Jersey also has a complicated history on voting. Officials and advocates say the state is only now catching up to others on increasing access to the ballot box. And famously, a security task force formed by the Republican National Committee during the 1981 governor’s race — one critics said aimed to quell voter turnout in urban communities — prompted federal oversight of elections that didn’t end until 2016.
Morales-Doyle noted that “because of the way race works and our society functions,” the burdens of voting restrictions “disproportionately fall on people of color and are often intended to.” He argued voter suppression doesn’t look like it did during the Jim Crow era when the tools were more “blunt.”
“It is this layering of restriction on top of restriction and shaving away,” Morales-Doyle said. “It’s death by 1,000 cuts now.”
Still, public opinion polling underscores a national division on voting reform, with a Monmouth University survey in June 2021 showing most Americans support making access to early voting easier (71%) but also requiring a photo ID to vote (80%).
Patrick Murray, the poll’s director, said “the bottom line seems to be that most Democrats and Republicans want to take the potential for election results to be questioned off the table,” but the problem is “they aren’t likely to agree on how to get there.”
New Jersey Republican Party Chairman Bob Hugin said in a statement to NJ Advance Media that both major political parties “can find common ground in believing that it should be easy to vote but hard to cheat.”
He argued “commonsense measures like voter ID” receive high marks from many Americans “because voters support basic safeguards for our most cherished right.”
THE NEW LAWS
Morales-Doyle said it’s “not a coincidence” the new laws come after the 2020 election, a race Republican President Donald Trump falsely claimed he lost because of voter fraud.
In early 2021, legislators in 43 states introduced more than 250 bills with restrictive voting provisions, according to the Brennan Center.
In Georgia, Republican Gov. Brian Kemp signed a law installing new restrictions on voting by mail — including a photo ID requirement — and greater legislative control over how elections are run. Kemp said “significant reforms” were necessary, and the goal was to “ensure elections in Georgia are secure, fair, and accessible.”
A few months later, in Florida, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a law instituting strict voter ID requirements to vote by mail, creating limits on who can pick up and return a voter’s ballot, and banning private funding for elections.
“Me signing this bill says: Florida, your vote counts, your vote is going to be cast with integrity and transparency, and this is a great place for democracy,” said DeSantis, a potential 2024 presidential candidate.
A few months later, in Texas, Republican Gov. Greg Abbott signed a law increasing early voting hours in smaller counties but also restricting how and when voters can cast ballots, as well as banning overnight early voting and drive-through voting in Democratic Harris County. The measure also made it a state felony for local election officials to proactively distribute vote-by-mail applications. Abbott said “we must have trust and confidence in our elections.”
Then, this past March in Arizona, Republican Gov. Doug Ducey signed a law requiring proof of citizenship to vote in presidential elections. Ducey said “election integrity means counting every lawful vote and prohibiting any attempt to illegally cast a vote.”
The Republican National Committee did not return a message seeking comment for this story.
Meanwhile, in January, Democrats in Washington D.C. failed in their bid to muster enough support in the U.S. Senate for a bill to protect voting rights in the country heading into the midterms, with Republicans blocking their efforts.
Morales-Doyle dismissed officials who say the issue is merely about election integrity, saying it’s “just not true” that new voting restrictions will “make it harder to cheat.”
“We know it has been proven time and time again there isn’t a problem with rampant fraud,” the Brennan Center official said. “It is quite clear: These laws make it more difficult to vote.”
He also said it’s not fair to “suggest people of color are being targeted” for only “partisan reasons.”
“I think there’s racism at the heart of a lot of this,” Morales-Doyle said.
Lorraine Minnite, a professor of public policy and administration at Rutgers-Camden, said Black voters have been a target of voter suppression for more than a century in the U.S.
“The long legacy of targeting Black people for voting is kind of in the DNA of America,” Minnite said. “It’s sort of like today’s partisans are relearning some of the tricks from the early 20th century.”
Requiring photo ID is an especially popular argument for tightening voter laws, with proponents saying identification is already needed in a number of other facets of life.
But Minnite said that disenfranchises “people on the margin,” especially minority, lower-income, or elderly residents who might have trouble visiting a DMV to get a driver’s license.
“These hurdles are being put in place that are hoping to trip up some marginal voter,” she said. “It’s going after the margins because that’s how elections are being won these days for the most part.”
WHERE NEW JERSEY STANDS
New Jersey hasn’t been immune. Four decades ago, the state witnessed the closest race for governor ever: Republican Tom Kean defeated Democrat Jim Florio in 1981 by only 1,700 votes in an election that drew more than 2 million votes.
It was also a race mired in controversy because the Republican National Committee established a Ballot Security Task Force. It consisted of off-duty police officers and deputy sheriffs hired by the party to watch polling stations with a mission to prevent voter fraud and secure the election. Critics said the actual intent was to intimidate voters in minority communities and suppress the vote in areas that leaned Democratic.
The New Jersey Democratic State Committee sued after the election, and the RNC was under court-imposed limits until 2016, signing a consent degree in which it agreed to not undertake “ballot security activities” in areas with a large concentration of minority voters “where a purpose or significant effect of such activities is to deter qualified voters from voting.”
State Sen. Shirley Turner, D-Mercer, said having police at the polls can intimidate Black voters, especially in the wake of George Floyd’s killing.
“When I was growing up, we were taught a police officer is your friend,” said Turner, who is Black. “But I dare say if you go into the minority communities now ... they’re viewed more like the enemy rather than the friend.”
After the decree against the RNC expired six years ago, Murphy signed a law in January banning police officers from lingering around polling stations and ballot drop boxes on election days in New Jersey.
A new bill, however, would allow police on Election Day at public schools and senior centers that serve as polling places in the state. The measure says the goal is “to maintain order and to provide security” — coming in the wake of the mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas. But critics say it’s a knee-jerk reaction that will infringe upon democracy.
The measure recently passed the state Senate but not the Assembly.
Turner supported the bill after the Texas shooting, saying it’s not a “rollback” but a “carveout” because people are “doubly frightened in terms of protecting our children in schools.”
The senator said New Jersey is “doing better than we have done in the past” on voting laws but argued the state still needs to do more to remove “barriers” that prevent people from voting, including white voters. That, she said, is why she has sponsored a bill to allow same-day voter registration, which 20 other states have.
“We need to make the ballot more accessible to more people if we want a true democracy,” Turner said.
Murphy has said same-day registration is a big goal of his second term as governor. But he has faced resistance from state Senate President Nicholas Scutari, D-Union, who said in March that “someone’s got to convince me why people have the sacred right to vote and they can’t decide they’re going to do it until that day.”
Henal Patel, director of the Democracy & Justice Program at the New Jersey Institute for Social Justice, praised the state for enacting online and automatic voter registration, allowing people on parole and probation to vote, and installing early in-person voting in recent years.
Still, Patel argued New Jersey should not only enact same-day registration but let prisoners vote, especially considering 61% of the state’s incarcerated population is Black.
“When we tie voting rights to the criminal justice system, we import all of the racism in our broken criminal justice system into the electorate,” she said.
Republicans, for their part, have argued Democrats are trying to bolster their own elections by expanding certain laws. Then-New Jersey GOP Chairman Doug Steinhardt said in 2018 that by installing automatic voter registration, Democrats were “looking to exploit what they see as favorable registration trends and using taxpayer-funded dollars and institutions to do it.”
In addition, opponents of letting prisoners and people on parole or probation vote argue that losing the right to cast a ballot is a just punishment for criminals, and they should not have a say in influencing public policy.
But Hugin, the new state Republican chairman, said New Jersey recently showed “proof” both major parties can work together when the Democratic-controlled state Legislature passed a half-dozen voting reform bills that drew largely across-the-aisle support. The most significant measure would allow mail-in ballots be processed — but not counted — starting five days before an election in the state. The bills are now awaiting Murphy’s signature or veto.
“Voters care deeply about the integrity of our elections, and Democrats who seek to run up a partisan score on this issue ignore its broad appeal at their own peril,” Hugin said.
REDISTRICTING
Another worry among voting-rights advocates is gerrymandering during the redistricting process. Gerrymandering is when officials redraw districts representing residents in Congress and state legislatures, often in odd configurations, to favor one party over another.
“We’re seeing Black and other people of color cracked across multiple districts or packed into one district and denying them power,” Patel said.
In February, the U.S. Supreme Court allowed Alabama to hold elections this year under a congressional map drawn by the Republican-controlled Legislature that contains only one majority-Black district, boosting the party’s chances in November’s midterm elections. Justices from the court’s conservative-leaning majority said a lower court’s order for a new map came too close to the 2022 election cycle.
Then, the Supreme Court last month put a temporary hold on a lower court’s order for the state to create a second majority-Black congressional district in Louisiana.
Sophia Lin Lakin, co-director of the Voting Rights Project at the American Civil Liberties Union, said congressional and legislative maps have “such a big effect,” especially the latter, which determine the districts for state legislatures, the bodies that craft laws at the state level.
“That’s where all the policies you care about at the state level are being debated and enacted,” Lin Lakin said.
Thus, she said, it’s more difficult to create laws that reflect “the values and concerns” of communities of color. She also said redistricting helps mold legislatures that pass restrictive voting laws.
When New Jersey released a new legislative map in February, 17 of the 40 districts had a population in which the majority of residents were people of color, and 23 in which the majority of residents were white. That’s up from the 15 majority-minority districts in New Jersey’s current legislative map.
But a group of advocates said the new map still “over-represents white people” and “actively diminishes the voices of communities of color.”
Whitehead, the NAACP official, said the hope is these new laws and redistricting concerns will help mobilize voters and increase turnout.
“This is the topic of our lifetime,” he said.

Fertility diagnosis left NI man 'broken and grieving'
- Published
"I was in bits, I can't really express to you how bad I was."
When Chris was told by his GP that there was a chance he couldn't have children the news was devastating.
After five years of trying for a baby with his wife, he had decided to make an appointment for sperm analysis.
That is when he was given the news that no sperm had been detected in his sample.
"It was an absolute bombshell," he told BBC News NI.
"I'd be sitting in bed for days just broken, just crying and devastated.
He added: "It was as if I was grieving".
Chris is not his real name - but such is the stigma felt by some men around fertility issues that he did not want to be identified.
"There's a bit of shame to it," he said.
"For every one who's understanding you'll get people who are very cruel about it and it's an incredibly emotional thing to deal with".
'People need to talk about it'
Chris said hearing of his diagnosis left him with many questions.
He said: "There was no advice, there was no telling me what it meant, there was nothing".
He was referred for another analysis, which took six months.
With only his wife to speak to, Chris went in search of other support available for men like him with fertility issues.
What he found was a majority of support groups which focused on women's experiences of fertility, something which he said he could not identify with.
He added: "Men do worry about this stuff, but it's not spoken about that much.
"People need to talk about it".
At the Regional Fertility Centre in Belfast, about 50% of the fertility issues the centre treat are related to men.
The centre provides semen analysis for men in Northern Ireland, alongside NHS labs in Craigavon Area Hospital and Altnagelvin Area Hospital.
It is something that effects many men who attend the fertility centre, but many are reluctant to talk about it.
'Limited understanding'
Dr Tommy Tang, a specialist in reproductive medicine at the centre, believes that in comparison to women, men have a "limited understanding" of the problems that can impact their fertility.
"We do need to get the message out there that this is not uncommon," he said.
"50% of cases are caused by disease or illness, the other 50% are what we call unexplained.
"Lifestyle is also recognised as being a big contributing factor to suboptimum sperm analysis.
"For example being overweight, having a poor diet, smoking and alcohol consumption".
Treatments for men have come a long way in the last 25 years.
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) allows sperm to be injected into the egg, which is used to treat men with low sperm counts.
The process has been described as a "great revolution" in treating male infertility.
Doctors can now also carry out testicular biopsies to retrieve sperm directly from the testicle in cases where a blockage is the cause.
It means that for many men who experience fertility issues there are treatments available that can make conceiving a baby possible.
Dr Deborah Lutton, who is the principal embryologist at the centre, said: "Over the years options have expanded a lot.
"In the past, maybe we couldn't treat or you were looking at using donors".
It is one of these treatments which helped Chris after his diagnosis, but it came with a cost.
After a six month wait for Chris' second semen analysis, the couple decided to go to a private clinic and pay £3,000 for a testicular biopsy.
The biopsy found a blockage and doctors were able to extract sperm which will allow them to have IVF treatment.
"We were fortunate we had the funds to do it," he said.
"If you don't have access to money I genuinely don't know what people would do. Because the amount of time you're going to wait is just incredible".
The coronavirus pandemic has had an impact on waiting times, with staff at the fertility centre in Belfast working extra hours to address the backlog.
Chris and his wife are now exploring their options, which could include paying for IVF in another country where the cost of treatment can be lower than private treatment in the UK.
Chris said: "The impact this has on mental health is unreal. I've never dealt with it in my life.
"It doesn't just impact on yourself, it can have a huge impact on the people around you too". | https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-61658374 | 2022-07-14T12:25:28Z | https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-61658374 | true |

Amazon has offered to "refrain" from using the data of competitors after the EU accused the US retail and tech giant of collecting the information to benefit itself and at the expense of its rivals.
Seeking to resolve two European Union antitrust probes, Amazon has offered to stop using data related to its competitors to boost its own retail business, EU regulators said on Thursday.
The EU's competition authority has accused the online giant of using the data to benefit its own retail business, to the detriment of rivals that also sell on its platform.
With the threat of a multi-billion dollar fine hanging over the online retailer for its data collection practices, an EU statement said Amazon "commits to refrain from using non-public data relating to, or derived from, the activities of independent sellers on its marketplace."
More specifically, Amazon has offered to treat sellers equally when ranking their offers for the "buy box" on its platform and which generates a large portion of its sales.
Amazon will also insert a second buy box for a rival product if it differs considerably in price and delivery from the product in the first box.
In November 2020, the bloc's executive branch, the European Commission, released a statement saying it had informed Amazon of its "preliminary view" that it had "breached EU antitrust rules by distorting competition in online retail markets."
The European Commission accused Amazon of "systematically relying on non-public business data of independent sellers who sell on its marketplace, to the benefit of Amazon's own retail business, which directly competes with those third-party sellers."

TOKYO (AP) — Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida on Thursday blamed inadequate police protection for the death of former leader Shinzo Abe, who was shot last week while giving an outdoor campaign speech.
Abe, one of Japan’s most influential politicians, was assassinated last Friday in western Japan, shocking a nation known for its low crime rate. Photos and videos of the shooting show the gunman was able to come close to Abe from behind, while security guards were focused toward the front.
“I think there were problems with the security measures,” Kishida said.
Officials at the National Public Safety Commission and National Police Agency are investigating what went wrong and will compile measures in response, Kishida said.
“I urge them to carry out a thorough inspection and fix what needs to be fixed, while also studying examples in other countries,” he said.
Kishida also announced plans to hold a state funeral for Abe later this year, noting his contributions at home and in boosting Japan’s security alliance with the United States. Abe’s nationalistic views drove the governing party’s conservative policies.
“By holding a state funeral in memory of former Prime Minister Abe, Japan will show its determination not to cave in to violence and to firmly defend democracy,” Kishida said. “Japan will also show to the world its determination to keep up its vigor and open a path toward the future.”
A smaller funeral ceremony was held at a temple in Tokyo on Tuesday.
A suspect was arrested immediately after Abe was shot and is being held for up to three weeks for questioning until prosecutors decide whether to press murder charges.
The suspect reportedly told police that he abandoned a plan to shoot Abe a day earlier at a speech in another city because of a requirement that bags be checked at the entrance.
Police and media reports say he told investigators that he killed Abe because of rumored links between the former prime minister and a religious group the suspect hated. The suspect, 41-year-old Tetsuya Yamagami, was reportedly upset because his mother made large donations to the Unification Church that bankrupted the family.
The assassination has shone a light on links between Abe’s Liberal Democratic Party and the Unification Church, which is known for its conservative and anti-communist beliefs and its mass weddings.
The Japan branch of the South Korean-based church confirmed on Monday that Yamagami’s mother was a member and that Abe was not. Abe has appeared in video messages to groups affiliated with the church. | https://cbs4indy.com/news/ap-top-headlines/japan-pm-blames-police-for-death-of-former-leader-shinzo-abe/ | 2022-07-14T12:38:27Z | https://cbs4indy.com/news/ap-top-headlines/japan-pm-blames-police-for-death-of-former-leader-shinzo-abe/ | true |
ISLAMABAD (AP) — The International Monetary Fund said Thursday it had reached a preliminary agreement with Pakistan to revive a $6 billion bailout package for this impoverished Islamic nation, which has been facing a serious economic crisis since last year.
Pakistan and the IMF originally signed the accord in 2019. But the release of a slightly over $1 billion tranche had been on hold since earlier this year. That’s when the IMF expressed concern about Pakistan’s compliance with the conditions of the bailout under former Prime Minister Imran Khan. The parliament ousted him through a no-confidence vote in April.
Under newly elected Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, the government has been in talks with the IMF since May, to avoid a default like Sri Lanka’s.
“The Agreement with the Fund has set the stage to bring country out of economic difficulties,” Sharif wrote on Twitter.
In recent weeks, Pakistan’s government imposed additional taxes and slashed subsidies on fuel, electricity and natural gas to meet IMF’s conditions. That made the government highly unpopular, but Sharif says the actions were necessary.
In a statement Thursday, the fund said it has “reached a staff-level agreement (SLA) with the Pakistan authorities.” It added that the deal is “subject to approval by the IMF’s Executive Board.”
It said Pakistan will be eligible to receive a critical installment of about $1.17 billion.
According to the statement, the IMF will also raise the value of the bailout from $6 billion to $7 billion subject to approval from the IMF’s executive board, which is usually considered a formality.
Finance Minister Miftah Ismail blamed Khan for creating a Sri Lanka-like situation in Pakistan. Ismail has said Khan deliberately violated IMF’s conditions to remain popular.
Analysts say the revival of the IMF’s bailout will help the government overcome the economic crisis because the release of installment of loans from the fund will encourage other international financial institutions to engage with Pakistan.
Authorities say Sharif’s government also approached Washington for help reviving the IMF’s bailout. Khan since his removal has repeatedly alleged his government was toppled under a U.S. plot, a charge Washington denies. | https://cbs4indy.com/news/national-world/ap-international/imf-reaches-deal-with-pakistan-to-revive-6b-bailout/ | 2022-07-14T12:39:07Z | https://cbs4indy.com/news/national-world/ap-international/imf-reaches-deal-with-pakistan-to-revive-6b-bailout/ | false |

Van Gogh self-portrait found hidden behind another painting
LONDON (AP) — A previously unknown self-portrait of Vincent Van Gogh has been discovered behind another of the artist’s paintings, the National Galleries of Scotland said Thursday.
The self-portrait was found on the back of Van Gogh’s “Head of a Peasant Woman” when experts at the Edinburgh gallery took an X-Ray of the canvas ahead of an upcoming exhibition.
The work is believed to have been hidden for over a century, covered by layers of glue and cardboard when it was framed in the early 20th century.
Van Gogh was known for turning canvases around and painting on the other side to save money.
The portrait shows a bearded sitter in a brimmed hat. Experts said the subject was instantly recognizable as the artist himself, and is thought to be from his early work. The left ear is clearly visible, and Van Gogh famously cut his off in 1888.
Frances Fowle, a senior curator at the National Galleries of Scotland, said the discovery was “thrilling.”
“Moments like this are incredibly rare,” she said. “We have discovered an unknown work by Vincent Van Gogh, one of the most important and popular artists in the world.”
The gallery said experts are evaluating how to remove the glue and cardboard without harming “Head of a Peasant Woman.”
Visitors to an upcoming Impressionist exhibit at the Royal Scottish Academy in Edinburgh can see an X-Ray image of the self-portrait through a lightbox.

Craftsman Alexander Donnelly left his mark in wood across Fife.
The joiner, who developed a passion for carving, created ornamental signs and statues for displays outside pubs across the Kingdom.
One carving of a dog was displayed for many years outside the former Drookit Dug pub in Cupar.
Alexander, known as Alex, who has died aged 75, also made bespoke furniture, kitchens, wall panelling, fireplaces and crafted rocking horses.
Exhibition hopes
His partner, Evelyn, said he had hoped to stage an exhibition of his work but ill health prevented it.
For many years he worked as a joiner on projects around Fife but in the evenings, he retired to his workshop to carve and create.
Sport
He was born and educated in Belfast and worked for a spell at Belfast Ropeworks where he played for the work rugby team.
Alexander came to Fife in 1987, the home of his first wife. The couple had a son and daughter and later divorced.
Building
Alexander began work on construction sites for Rothes Builders before moving to work for Robert Marshall at Hiline Construction of Buckhaven.
For the last 26 years he had been self employed based first in Leven and then in Buckhaven.
He met his partner, Evelyn Walker, while working on a job at Marchmont residential care home in Kirkcaldy, where she was a care worker.
Struggle
When he was in his mid 60s, Alexander suffered a series of strokes. Although he recovered his mobility and his speech was not affected, he gave up carving.
In recent years he had been living with dementia, said Evelyn.
“He used to love carving. I worked evenings and Alex would spend hours in the workshop where he kept hundreds of tools.
“It had been our intention to hold an exhibition of his work but illness overtook our plans,” said Evelyn.
His funeral will take place at Kirkcaldy crematorium on July 22 at 1.30pm. | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/news/fife/3492058/alexander-donnelly/ | 2022-07-14T12:50:14Z | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/news/fife/3492058/alexander-donnelly/ | false |
Roanoke, Va – These past couple of years have not been easy for teachers, so the Rescue Mission of Roanoke wants to give the community a chance to say thank you.
Every year the Rescue Mission hosts their Back 2 School Blast, but this year they are switching from having the students pick up the supplies, to the teachers. What this means is the Rescue Mission is asking for the community to donate school supplies at local organizations that have the Back 2 School Blast logo displayed.
Your donation for Back 2 School Blast Teacher’s Edition can be anything from highlighters, pens, pencils, crayons, and binders. Then, teachers will gather on August 6th at Parkway Church on the Mountain and pick out the supplies they need.
Hannah John, Committee Member for Back 2 School Blast says, “We are gearing it more toward teachers because the past couple of years we feel that teachers have been through a lot and while there are other events in the community that students have access to, to get these supplies, we felt just catering a little more toward teachers because we need to pay them some extra special attention.”
The deadline for donations is August 4th. The Rescue Mission is also putting together goody bags for the teachers that will have items like hand sanitizer and Clorox wipes.
This event is for any teacher in Southwest Virginia. There is a limited number of teachers that can register for the day. If you are interested in applying, John says to keep a close eye on the Rescue Mission’s Social Media pages. | https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2022/07/14/rescue-missions-back-2-school-blast-shifting-focus-on-teachers-this-school-year/ | 2022-07-14T12:50:29Z | https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2022/07/14/rescue-missions-back-2-school-blast-shifting-focus-on-teachers-this-school-year/ | false |

Five people were taken to area trauma centers after a two-vehicle crash about 9:30 p.m. Wednesday on the American Parkway Bridge in Allentown, according to the city fire department.
The people -- one in one vehicle and four in the other -- had to be freed by first responders, the fire department said.
“All city services provided the most expedited professional care to the victims involved,” the fire department said in a Facebook post.
A city police department public information officer didn’t respond to an email Thursday morning seeking basic information on the investigation.

Novak Djokovic is hopeful he can play at the US Open despite strict entry rules on the unvaccinated but Serbian star won't risk a repeat of Australian Open deportation furore by travelling to New York without permission
- Unvaccinated Novak Djokovic won't play at the US Open next month as it stands
- United States only allows unvaccinated citizens to gain entry to the country
- Djokovic is hopeful of playing in New York but won't head there without approval
- He was booted out of Australia in January after falling foul of strict Covid rules
- Serbian has just won his 21st Grand Slam title at Wimbledon - one short of record
Novak Djokovic is hopeful of competing in the US Open next month but won't risk a repeat of the deportation furore he went through in Australia.
The unvaccinated tennis star was booted out of Australia ahead of the Melbourne Slam back in January after the government decided he'd broken strict Covid-19 regulations and he failed with a legal challenge.
And Djokovic, who has just won his 21st career Slam at Wimbledon, risks a repeat ahead of Flushing Meadows with the United States blocking unvaccinated non-citizens from entering the country.
Novak Djokovic - who won Wimbledon last week - is hopeful of playing at the US Open
The unvaccinated tennis player was turfed out of Australia ahead of the Slam there in January
As he opened a tennis complex in the Bosnian town of Visoko, Djokovic said: 'I'm not going to go to America if I don't have permission, so the Australian saga for me was not pleasant at all.
'People still think I forced my way to Australia and tried to come in with no papers, permission or exemption - it is not true.
'That was proven in the court cases, so I would never go into a country where I didn't have permission to travel.
'I would love to come back to Australia. I love Australia, I had my best Grand Slam results in that country.
'Hopefully I can be there in January because I want to be there, and I also want to be in New York.
'I want to be in America and everywhere I can possibly play.'
Djokovic said he hoped to play the US Open in New York but isn't guaranteed entry
He was speaking as he opened a regional tennis centre in the Bosnian town of Visoko
Under Australian rules, those who have been deported are not allowed back into the country for three years, putting in doubt his future participation in a Slam he has won nine times.
But there was a glimmer of hope his ban could be lifted because the new Australian Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, is a big tennis fan.
Djokovic, 35, gave no indication he intends to reverse his anti-vax position in order to play in New York.
'I am a professional tennis player, I don't go into politics or anything else because that doesn't interest me,' he said.
Djokovic could see his three-year ban from entering Australia lifted ahead of next year
The Serbian star's visa was cancelled in January 2022, preventing him from taking part then
'I have my stance and I am a proponent for freedom to choose what is best for you. I respect everything and everybody, and I expect people to at least respect my decision.
'If I have permission, I'll be there. If I don't, I won't be there - it's not the end of the world.'
Djokovic beat Nick Kyrgios over four sets last Sunday to win Wimbledon for the seventh time and move within one of Rafael Nadal's record 22 Slam titles.
He received a hero's reception from thousands of fans outside the city hall in Belgrade, the Serbian capital, upon his return on Monday, with his latest achievement marked with a concert and fireworks display. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/tennis/article-11013647/Novak-Djokovic-hopeful-play-Open.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-07-14T12:55:44Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/tennis/article-11013647/Novak-Djokovic-hopeful-play-Open.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false |

After some debate over the differences between the words accepts, acknowledges and adopts, at its July 6 meeting the Common Council voted eight to two in favor of a resolution to accept the Report of the Reimagining Public Safety Working Group and commit to implementing portions of the report while continuing to seek out public input and further review the process.
Alderpersons Cynthia Brock of the City’s 1st Ward and Jeffrey Barken of the City’s 3rd Ward voted against the resolution.
The elements of the report that will be implemented are: establishing a civilian leadership position, with authority designated by the Mayor, to oversee the City’s public safety response systems; establishing an ad-hoc public safety committee; requiring community-centered training for both armed and unarmed first responders; supplying improved technology for community safety efforts; and implementing improved data collection and public reporting of such data.
In a separate agenda item which the Council says reaffirms its support for civilian leadership, it directed Acting Mayor Laura Lewis to work with the City’s Human Resources Department to create a job description for a Deputy Chief of Staff for Public Safety and to include funding for this position in the City’s 2023 budget. It also called on the Acting Mayor to provide a written evaluation of the impact of civilian oversight to include feedback from the community and the Council no later than December 31, 2023.
In voicing her support for the resolution accepting the report, Alderperson Phoebe Brown of the City’s 2nd Ward said that reforms to the City’s police department were long overdue: “People like me have been hearing the world ‘wait’ for as long as we can remember. It is imperative that we move on.”
In voting against the resolution accepting the report, Alderperson Cynthia Brock of the City’s 1st Ward said that, while supporting the reforms themselves, she opposes the acceptance of the report because of her ethical concerns over the process: “Outside groups were brought in and contributed significantly to this report; outside groups which were neither screened [nor] hired by the city.”
In response to those concerns, in another separate item, Ithaca City Attorney Aaron O. Lavine announced that the City would be hiring Kristen E. Smith, currently a labor and employment lawyer with the firm Bond Schoeneck & King to investigate potential ethics issues involved in the reimaging public safety process.
Smith served as Corporation Counsel for the City of Syracuse from 2018 to 2022 after being appointed to the position by Syracuse Mayor Ben Walsh.
According to Lavine, Smith “understands how government should work and how it shouldn’t work. She played a leading role in the Governor’s Executive Order in the Syracuse setting that gave rise to the reimagining public safety process here in Ithaca as well.” | https://www.ithaca.com/news/ithaca/ithaca-accepts-reimagining-public-safety-report/article_de3cac6e-02ba-11ed-bb8b-0766d1898d93.html | 2022-07-14T12:58:04Z | https://www.ithaca.com/news/ithaca/ithaca-accepts-reimagining-public-safety-report/article_de3cac6e-02ba-11ed-bb8b-0766d1898d93.html | true |
Captain Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake has called on Great Britain’s gladiators to take their chance at the World Championships.
The 28-year-old has issued a rallying call ahead of the Championships, which start in Eugene on Friday.
Mitchell-Blake, part of the 4x100m relay team stripped of their Olympic silver after CJ Ujah’s positive drugs test last year, has delivered his captain’s speech to the squad and wants his team-mates to seize the moment.
“What I said in the speech was that we’re the best in the nation, the one percenters of our country,” said Mitchell-Blake, who runs in the 200m heats next week.
“I like to think of our sport as gladiatorial sport in that it is us in the arena, against each individual, we don’t have someone to help us or 90 minutes or extra time.
“We train tireless hours for one shot. So let’s go out there, give it our best shot and have fun, be authentic, and hopefully that can endear us to the public.
“It’s not always the best athlete that gets the admiration because it’s hard to connect with constant success. No-one has that in sport – we all have ups and downs and with the likes of social media there’s a lot of pressure to be perfect.
“We’re not perfect, it’s OK to have imperfections. I feel that the public can relate more with someone who is deemed imperfect, has overcome a battle and then has success because that’s how life goes.
“You have ups and you have downs, along the way you encounter success, you encounter failures, but what makes the success even sweeter, is going along that journey.
“We’ve all got a story to tell and that’s why I say be authentic when you have the opportunity, because it’s your chance to endear yourself to the public.”
Laura Muir opens her campaign in the 1500m at Hayward Field on Friday as the Scot looks for her first outdoor medal at a World Championships.
The 29-year-old, who won silver at last year’s Olympics, is joined by Zharnel Hughes and Reece Prescod with the pair running in the 100m heats.
Holly Bradshaw is aiming to add to her Olympic bronze medal and goes in the pole vault qualification with Nick Miller (hammer) and Sophie McKinna (shot put) also competing on the opening day.
Mitchell-Blake added: “There are so many variables we have no control over.
“So what we do have control over is that lane, that runway, that throw circle, that matt, that pole, whatever our individual discipline – go out there, focus on yourself control what you can control and that’s your performance.” | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/sport/3492880/nethaneel-mitchell-blake-urges-great-britains-athletes-to-seize-their-moment/ | 2022-07-14T12:58:45Z | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/sport/3492880/nethaneel-mitchell-blake-urges-great-britains-athletes-to-seize-their-moment/ | true |
Buffalo supermarket to reopen 2 months after mass shooting
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — The Buffalo supermarket where 10 Black people were killed by a white gunman is set to reopen its doors to the public Friday, two months after the racist attack.
A moment of silence and prayer will be held Thursday at Tops Friendly Market to honor the victims, employees and community impacted by the May 14 mass shooting, with a ceremonial reopening of the overhauled store before customers return Friday, the company said.
Ten Black people were killed when a then-18-year-old gunman wearing body armor and carrying a semi-automatic rifle opened fire on weekend shoppers and employees. Three people were wounded in the massacre.
Investigators say the shooter was motivated by white supremacist beliefs and researched the demographics of the predominantly Black neighborhood where the market is located with the intent of killing as many Black people as possible. He drove for more than three hours from his home in Conklin, New York, to carry out the attack, authorities said.
The decision to reopen, rather than relocate, the store has been met with mixed emotions in the East Buffalo neighborhood that, beset by high poverty, fought for years to get a grocery store. Since opening in 2003, the Tops location remains the only supermarket in the immediate area. Its closure in the wake of the shooting forced many residents to take buses to other locations or rely on stopgap measures like neighborhood giveaways to access fresh food.
“We must go on,” said Tops employee Rosalie Bishop, who has worked at the store for 12 years. She wants the store open again — and never for a moment considered not returning to work with colleagues who she considers family.
“The store is there for a reason. The store is still there for a reason,” said Bishop, 58, who was on her way to work when the shooting happened and said she’s still processing her near miss. “The people will come back. They might not come today or tomorrow, but they will come back.”
Other neighbors say reopening isn’t the best path forward.
Suggestions to local media and on social networks include turning the site into a park or recreational center that would bring the community together, or having several supermarkets that are more dispersed throughout Buffalo’s East Side.
Some simply can’t imagine entering a store where such terrible events took place.
The shooter, Payton Gendron, was arrested just outside the store’s front entrance. He is charged with numerous counts, including federal hate crime charges punishable by the death penalty, and has pleaded not guilty to state and federal charges.
Authorities say the gunman was motivated by white supremacist beliefs, including a baseless conspiracy theory about a plot to diminish the influence of white people. He chronicled his plans for months in an online diary, authorities said, and livestreamed the attack via a helmet camera.
Mayor Byron Brown said he was apprehensive while first touring the remodeled store but believes the overhaul will be helpful to customers.
“I realize that not everyone will feel comfortable returning to the store,” he said in a statement, adding that he is encouraging other retailers to serve the area.
“None of us will ever forget the cruel, racist attack,” Brown said. The reopening is a step toward healing, he said.
Bishop already has returned to the store to help prepare. Her first day went smoothly, but a security drill with flashing lights on the second day sent her home, shaken, mid-shift. Still, she said she is not afraid for her safety.
“I just want peace. I just want peace,” Bishop said. “It’ll never go back to the way it was. We’re not looking for the way it was. But peace.”

HELSINKI (AP) — Estonia’s president on Thursday asked Prime Minister Kaja Kallas to form a new government after she tendered the resignation of her one-party minority Cabinet, ending a more than month-long political stalemate in the Baltic nation.
President Alar Karis said in a tweet after meeting with Kallas that “I signed the resignation request of Prime Minister @kajakallas but also asked her to form a new government which could start working quickly and deal with all important issues of Estonian life.”
Estonia’s government crisis culminated in early June as Kallas, leader of the ruling center-right Reform Party, kicked out the left-leaning Center Party from the two-party coalition. The parties had substantial differences over spending and welfare policies amid increasing Estonian household costs because of high inflation.
The inflation rate in Estonia, a member of the European Union and NATO whose population is 1.3 million people, is now the highest in the 19-nation eurozone, with annual inflation hitting 22% in June, according to Eurostat, the EU statistics agency. High energy prices are one of the main causes of inflation in the Baltic nation.
Last week, the politically liberal Reform Party that runs on a conservative fiscal policy platform, struck a coalition deal with the opposition Social Democrats and the small conservative Fatherland (“Isamaa”) party.
The three parties together muster a comfortable 56-seat majority at the 101-seat Riigikogu legislature. The coalition arrangement prevents Kallas, who became Estonia’s first female prime minister in January 2021, from having to govern with a one-party minority Cabinet. It is already the third government in Estonia in a period of just over three years since the 2019 parliamentary election.
The new government needs formal approval from Parliament before it can be appointed by Karis and sworn in this week or early next week. Kallas tweeted that she would be asking lawmakers for a mandate to form her second Cabinet on Friday.
The government will be short-lived as Estonia is scheduled to hold a general election in March.
The 45-year-old Kallas is the daughter of former Estonian Prime Minister and European Commissioner Siim Kallas, who was one of the founders of the Reform Party — a key political party in the Baltic country — in the 1990s. She has led the Reform Party since 2018. | https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/Estonian-leader-Kaja-Kallas-asked-to-form-new-17304528.php | 2022-07-14T13:00:04Z | https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/Estonian-leader-Kaja-Kallas-asked-to-form-new-17304528.php | false |
LONDON (AP) — A previously unknown self-portrait of Vincent Van Gogh has been discovered behind another of the artist's paintings, the National Galleries of Scotland said Thursday.
The self-portrait was found on the back of Van Gogh’s “Head of a Peasant Woman” when experts at the Edinburgh gallery took an X-Ray of the canvas ahead of an upcoming exhibition.
The work is believed to have been hidden for over a century, covered by layers of glue and cardboard when it was framed in the early 20th century.
Van Gogh was known for turning canvases around and painting on the other side to save money.
The portrait shows a bearded sitter in a brimmed hat. Experts said the subject was instantly recognizable as the artist himself, and is thought to be from his early work. The left ear is clearly visible, and Van Gogh famously cut his off in 1888.
Frances Fowle, a senior curator at the National Galleries of Scotland, said the discovery was “thrilling.”
“Moments like this are incredibly rare," she said. “We have discovered an unknown work by Vincent Van Gogh, one of the most important and popular artists in the world."
The gallery said experts are evaluating how to remove the glue and cardboard without harming “Head of a Peasant Woman.”
Visitors to an upcoming Impressionist exhibit at the Royal Scottish Academy in Edinburgh can see an X-Ray image of the self-portrait through a lightbox. | https://www.beaumontenterprise.com/news/article/Van-Gogh-self-portrait-found-hidden-behind-17304429.php | 2022-07-14T13:00:31Z | https://www.beaumontenterprise.com/news/article/Van-Gogh-self-portrait-found-hidden-behind-17304429.php | false |
'I don't know if it's very likely': Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel admits he isn't sure whether £97.5m flop Romelu Lukaku has any future at Stamford Bridge after leaving on loan for Inter Milan this summer
- Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has spoken on the future of Romelu Lukaku
- The forward joined Inter Milan on loan after a nightmare season with Chelsea
- Tuchel said there is a chance the Belgian star will stay at the club after the loan
- But the German added that he is unsure how likely it is and it is out of his hands
Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has admitted he doesn't know if Romelu Lukaku has any future at the club.
The Belgian forward joined Inter Milan on a loan deal in June after a nightmare first year back in the Premier League following his £97.5million move from the Italian club last summer.
Lukaku made his desire to leave the London club clear and now Tuchel, speaking to Sky Sports during Chelsea's pre-season tour of the USA, has explained that the 29-year-old's future is uncertain.
Romelu Lukaku has been enjoying life back at Inter Milan after signing on loan from Chelsea
Lukaku and Tuchel clashed last season before making up after Lukaku criticised the German
'We decided together with the owners that we'd let him go,' said the German.
'It was his wish to go, he had the possibility, we let him go.
'We brought now Raheem Sterling, which gives us a lot of flexibility, a lot of mobility, a lot of attacking options at the front, even if we don't recruit more players.'
Tuchel did admit, however, that there is a chance Lukaku could return to west London next summer once his loan deal with Inter expires.
New Chelsea owner Todd Boehly moved quickly to ship the wantaway forward out on loan after he publicly criticised the club and Tuchel last season, before the two made up.

'Given the fact he's just on loan, of course there's a chance,' added Tuchel.
'I don't know if it's very likely, but it's not on me to give an outlook on that. There is a chance for it.'
Meanwhile, Tuchel has urged Boehly to bring in more reinforcements after the signing of Raheem Sterling on Wednesday.
Speaking during Chelsea's pre-season tour of USA, Tuchel said: 'We come from sanctions, we come from losing top-quality players, key players, we are a club in transition, in transition of ownership, we were behind in the transfer race and we were behind in the table. So we have things to improve.

Raheem Sterling became Chelsea's first signing of the summer from Man City on Wednesday
'The signing of Raheem shows what we're capable of doing, it shows the ambition of the club and the ownership and it's good because we're all here to win and compete.
'We love to compete and we love the challenge at the very top. For that we need signings of new quality players or otherwise there's no chance.'

Boy band Sanam makes a mark with their music
Ahead of their gig in Hyderabad, the members share their journey
At a time when music bands break up over small disagreements or creative differences, Sanam Puri (vocalist), Samar Puri (guitarist), Venky S (bass guitarist) and Keshav Dhanraj (drummer) of the 10-year-old band Sanam thrive on togetherness. Band Sanam has carved a niche in the music industry with its mix of original music and covers of classic Hindi film songs. The Mumbai-based band is proud to have created a musical family. “When people think of bands, they always assume conflicts and disagreements because four different minds are working together,” says Keshav, adding, “Disagreements are a part of life; How we choose to deal with them is what makes the difference.”
Recalling their performance at BITS Pilani in Shamirpet this April, Samar says, “It was one of our most exciting shows of the year. We have a few surprises planned at our weekend show.”
“We bonded as friends first before forming a band,” shares Venky, who played with Samar and Sanam in a school band in Muscat (2003) and had The Previous Band with Keshav in Chennai (2009). Playing music through school and college led them to take it up as a profession. “Thanks to the digital age, we have been able to make a mark and spread music not by relying on a music label or Bollywood movie. Being one of the first few independent bands to reach 10 million subscribers on YouTube feels like a blessing,” says Venky.
From their early days of recording in the bedrooms of their parents’ homes in Mumbai (2010) while using household objects for light and sound effects, the Sanam boys have come a long way. “We are lucky to have each other’s support and used our strengths to get where we are right now,” observes Keshav.
The group started with originals and sang covers to reach out to a larger audience. “We realised our music was bringing broken families together,” says Sanam. Their rendition of ‘ Lag Jaa Gale’ also got them an invitation to shoot three music videos in the Maldives including the popular ‘Gulabi Aankhen’ The aim while singing a cover is to give a fresh sound without losing the soul of the original song.
Venky shares what worked in their favour, “Honestly, there weren't many "boy bands" when we started. YouTube was nascent; Indian Hip-hop was finding a contemporary voice; being a home producer wasn't as accessible as it is today. Young musicians either liked being in rock/metal bands or moved to bigger cities to pursue a career in ads/jingles/music for films (which I believe some of us initially intended to do).
Learningmusic production skills or new instruments, practising and honing musical chops are part of their efforts to improve. Over a decade, the band has found what works at live performances but changes when performing a regional language song that has cultural significance. For instance, they include Dhivehi (Maldives), Soca (Trinidad), Afrikaans (South Africa), Hebrew (Tel Aviv), Garba (Gujarat), Bengali Rabindra Sangeet, Dutch , Nepali and Assamese.
Sanam performs on July 15 at Artistry, Kondapur

FNM-HPI Measured Home Price Growth at Annualized Rate of 19.4 Percent in Q2 2022
WASHINGTON, July 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Single-family home prices increased at the annualized rate of 19.4 percent in Q2 2022, down slightly from the previous quarter's upwardly revised 20.5 percent, according to Fannie Mae's (OTCQB: FNMA) latest Home Price Index (FNM-HPI) reading, a national, repeat-transaction home price index measuring the average, quarterly price change for all single-family properties in the United States, excluding condos. On a quarterly basis, home prices rose a seasonally adjusted 4.3 percent in Q2 2022.
"Home prices maintained a near-historic pace of appreciation in the second quarter, as low levels of housing inventory continued to support price growth," said Doug Duncan, Fannie Mae Senior Vice President and Chief Economist. "At the end of 2021 and extending into 2022, we believe many homebuyers pulled forward their purchase plans to avoid expected increases in mortgage rates, contributing to demand for homes and strong price appreciation. Given the sharp rise in mortgage rates since that time, and the resulting negative impact on affordability to potential homebuyers, we expect purchase demand to cool in the quarters ahead, and for home price appreciation to moderate as a result."
The FNM-HPI is produced by aggregating county-level data to create both seasonally adjusted and non-seasonally adjusted national indices that are representative of the whole country and designed to serve as indicators of general single-family home price trends. The FNM-HPI is publicly available at the national level as a quarterly series with a start date of Q1 1975 and extending to the most recent quarter, Q2 2022. Fannie Mae publishes the FNM-HPI approximately mid-month during the first month of each new quarter.
For more information on the FNM-HPI, including a description of the methodology and the Q2 2022 data file, please visit our Research & Insights page on fanniemae.com.

Rains impact Kharif cultivation badly
Damage to crops is high with less revival chances
Incessant rain lashing Telangana for about a week now has badly impacted the cultivation of kharif crops as the sowing/transplantation of various crops is less by about 16.28 lakh acres by the end of July second week compared to the same time last year.
Not only that but the widespread heavy rain has also damaged standing crops, most of which are in the initial plant growth stage, badly with large extents getting silted or inundated. Rains for over week now have also impacted the progress of sowing operation with the recommended time for sowing of cotton, soybean, jowar, maize, greengram and blackgram almost coming to an end as delayed sowing would have the threat of rains during the harvesting period.
According to the Met Department officials, the State had recorded an average of over 291 mm rain in a matter of just one week from July 7. Cultivation of Kharif crops has been taken in about 53.8 lakh acres so far this season as against 70.08 lakh acres covered by the same period last year. “Rains have interrupted the sowing operations almost completely for a week now and it would definitely have an impact on the extent limiting the chances of reaching the planned extent of 70 lakh acres with cotton alone”, a senior agriculture official said.
Cotton has been been sown in about 38.48 lakh acres so far and its sowing from now on would have an adverse impact on its yield and production. Although the opposition Congress and BJP demanded payment of compensation to farmers to take up cultivation afresh as the investment made already has been washed away in rains, the estimation of crop damage is yet to be taken up.
“We can take up the assessment of damage with siltation, wash-out, flooding and inundation of standing crops along with chance of their revival with draining out of water could be taken up only after the rains recede and stop”, the official said adding that sowing in completely damaged crop field could be taken up only after the soil gets suitably dry. The chances of revival of damaged crops are less as they are still in the initial plant growth stage.
The official admitted that rain damage on crops such as cotton, soybean, maize, jowar, greengram and blackgram would be high and the farmers having irrigation source could now mostly prefer either paddy or other irrigated-dry crops.
