Young girl dies, siblings removed in SA
A young girl has died and her siblings have been removed from her Adelaide home as detectives investigate whether her death was caused by criminal neglect.
The six-year-old girl was taken to the Lyell McEwin Hospital by paramedics on Friday morning after being found unresponsive at her Munno Para home.
She died soon after arrival.
Police have declared it a major crime and Taskforce Prime has been formed.
The death is being investigated as a case of criminal neglect causing death.
The task force will also investigate criminal neglect charges relating to five other children aged between of seven and 16 years who live at the same house.
The five siblings have since been removed from the home.
The investigation continues. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-11023887/Young-girl-dies-siblings-removed-SA.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-07-18T09:07:48Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-11023887/Young-girl-dies-siblings-removed-SA.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false |

After new outdoor seating rates were set by the Bangor City Council for downtown bars and restaurants, some business owners are wondering whether the benefits of outdoor seating justify increasingly high costs to offer it.
Councilors said the new rate system for outdoor seating was implemented to create equity among businesses, but some business owners said they feel they’re being discouraged from offering it altogether.
In late March, the city council changed the fee Downtown District businesses pay for their outdoor seating that uses public space. The new rate of $2.78 per square foot of outdoor seating will take effect in stages over the next three years. This year, businesses pay one-third of the new rate this year, then two-thirds in 2023 and the full fee in 2024.
That’s an increase from the previous system where fees ranged from $50 to $500 depending on whether a restaurant sold alcohol and how many outdoor seats were available. The irregular system resulted in restaurants paying anywhere from 32 cents to $1.25 per square foot.
Councilor Dan Tremble said the new rate system was designed to be more equitable for downtown eateries because now everyone pays based on how much space they take up, rather than how many seats fill a space.
“Not everybody is going to be happy, but we wanted something that was fair for everyone,” he said. “It’s not a money maker for the city. It’s about being able to manage downtown seating.”
Outdoor seating in downtown Bangor grew in popularity during the first summer of the COVID-19 pandemic, when diners sought socially distanced, outdoor alternatives to indoor dining. That summer, businesses could also create “parklets” by using a parking space for outdoor seating as well. In 2020, there was no fee for that. A fee of $500 per parking space for outdoor seating was created in 2021, but the city only charged half that for the first summer.
Now, businesses can still use parking spaces for outdoor seating under the new structure, but they have to pay the full fee of $500 per parking space. Up to two street parking spaces for outdoor dining are permitted for restaurant use between May 1 and November 1.
When 2 Feet Brewing on Columbia Street started offering outdoor seating five years ago, owner Nit-Noi Ricker, paid the city $200 to place four seats on the recently widened sidewalk outside. She said she added the outdoor seating to show passers-by the space was a restaurant, attract tourists and allow patrons to bring their dogs.
In the years that followed, Ricker said she paid $250 for the outdoor seating, but this year she paid $340 for the two parking spaces she uses for seating. Next year, she’ll have to pay $648, then $973 in 2024 when the new rates take full effect.
The two parking spaces Ricker uses allows her to bring her total seating capacity to 39 seats total, whereas she can only fit 22 seats inside. She said families or large groups tend to gravitate toward the outdoor space because they have more room to push tables and chairs together.
Ricker said she’s now looking for a new location for her business to avoid paying nearly $1,000 for her outdoor seating area.
The new rates especially hurt smaller businesses that previously paid a fraction of what larger businesses with dozens of outdoor seats, she said.
“I am definitely not going to pay $1,000 in two years,” Ricker said. “To have that $1,000 thrown at me on top of everything else is crazy. My business license is only $450.”
Tim Gallon, owner of Black Bear Brewing on Exchange Street in Bangor, said he has paid the city $250 to offer four tables on the sidewalk, “which are always the first to fill up,” since the location opened in 2018.
When the pandemic began in 2020, Gallon was also able to establish a patio in a handicap parking spot – which the city moved down the street – outside his business. The patio added about 20 seats to the roughly 40 seats indoors. He said the city waived the fee for using that outdoor space to allow businesses to stay afloat during the pandemic.
This summer, Gallon said he hasn’t been able to set up the patio yet, as the city has been sluggish to move the handicap parking spot and bring barriers for the space. The tables on the sidewalk are still available.
In future summers, Gallon said he planned to use two parking spaces for outdoor seating, but knowing he’ll have to pay $500 per parking space is making him reconsider.
Gallon said he feels outdoor seating is an important element to give a downtown life, especially during Maine’s short summer season, but when a city starts increasing costs, it discourages businesses from offering it.
While he said he understands the need to charge something, Gallon said he wishes the city held off on implementing the new rates, or eased into them more gradually to allow small businesses to recover from the pandemic. Gallon said he fears the increasing costs will drive businesses out of downtown Bangor altogether.
“Growing up in Bangor, you didn’t go downtown for anything,” he said. “When the mall came in, there were no restaurants or stores downtown and it was dumpy. Now there’s a resurgence downtown and people want to be there, but there’s no guarantee that will stay.” | https://www.bangordailynews.com/2022/07/18/news/bangor/bangor-high-outdoor-seating-fees-joam40zk0w/ | 2022-07-18T09:13:50Z | https://www.bangordailynews.com/2022/07/18/news/bangor/bangor-high-outdoor-seating-fees-joam40zk0w/ | true |

Hungary’s ruling Fidesz party, led by nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban, used its parliamentary supermajority last week to pass the changes, which target a popular tax scheme known as KATA which allows small businesses and freelancers like delivery drivers to pay a low, flat tax rate.
The measures, which go into force Sept. 1, will force out the majority of the some 450,000 workers who use the scheme. Many demonstrators see the move as a hastily passed form of austerity on workers amid record weakness of Hungary's currency against the dollar and euro and the highest inflation in nearly 25 years.
“I would really like to live in this country, but they’re making it impossible!" delivery driver Norman, 24, said through a megaphone. He would not give his last name.
"These people call themselves the great family-friendly government, the ones who are driving everyone out of the country?” he said.
The organizers, a spontaneously formed group of delivery couriers, asked opposition parties and “influencer politicians” not to appear at the demonstration. They promised further protests would follow on Tuesday and Wednesday, and other demonstrations were scheduled for later on Monday in the provincial cities of Szeged and Nyiregyhaza.
Eszter Balazs, the restaurant worker, said she believed the wave of discontent "will continue, and that we’ll be ever stronger and more enthusiastic.”
“We have to occupy bridges, we have to become a mass movement and show that we can cause change through unity because many Hungarians want change. There are many Hungarians that want things to be better for their families," she said.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Justin Verlander, Gerrit Cole and the rest of major league pitchers are likely to be looking over their shoulders next season: at a pitch clock.
Clocks have cut the length of minor league games by about a half-hour this year, and baseball officials appear certain to promote the timers to the majors.
“I think it needs it, obviously. And I think it’s coming regardless of opposition of the players. It’s kind of our fault,” the Yankees’ Cole said ahead of Tuesday’s All-Star Game. “We’ve known it’s been an issue and its importance and we don’t seem to clean it up.”
Major League Baseball also is considering shift limits, larger bases, restrictions on pickoff attempts and — perhaps in 2024 — limited use of robot umpires to call balls and strikes. The new collective bargaining agreement includes an 11-person competition committee with six management representatives, four players and one umpire, and it is empowered to make changes by majority vote with 45 days notice.
Average time of nine-inning games increased from 2 hours, 43 minutes in 2003 to 3:13 in 2020 before dropping to 3:02 so far this season through July 12, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. A clock experiment in the minor leagues cut the average this year to 2:37 from 3:04 at a similar point for non-clock games last year.
“At first, I wasn’t buying into it. But then we started the season, I was: ‘Oh, this is pretty good.’ I like it. I think it’s more efficient,” Brooklyn Cyclones manager Luis Rivera said before a 9-0 win over Greensboro on July 12 that breezed along in 2:27.
Time between pitches with no runners ranges from 12.6 seconds for Milwaukee’s Brent Suter and San Francisco’s Sam Long to 26.6 for St. Louis’ Giovanny Gallegos and 26.0 for Atlanta’s Kenley Jansen. With runners on, San Diego’s Tim Hill leads at 18.1 and Gallegos (32.1) and Jansen (31.1) are the slowest.
MLB’s average through Thursday was 20.5 seconds with no runners and 27.3 second with runners. Boston manager Alex Cora notices callups are working more quickly than veterans.
“Little by little, everything they’re doing in the minor leagues is going to affect their big league game, which is great,” he said.
Long the most traditional of U.S. major pro sports, baseball adopted video review for home runs in 2009 and for a broad array of umpire decisions in 2014. All 30 teams are using the electronic pitching signaling device introduced this spring.
A clock is being used this year throughout the minors: 14 seconds with the bases empty and 19 with runners on at Triple-A, and 14/18 at lower levels. The clock starts “when the pitcher has possession of the ball and the catcher is in the dirt circle surrounding home plate.” In addition, “the batter must be in the box and alert to the pitcher with at least nine seconds remaining.”
“I’m not opposed to a pitch clock, but I think it needs to be a reasonable amount of time to not feel rushed,” said Houston’s Verlander, a two-time Cy Young Award winner. “Fourteen is quick. I was kind of like on the fence about it, maybe pro pitch clock, but then talking to a couple of the Triple-A guys we’ve had, they feel in certain situations that they don’t even have enough time to shake off pitches. Granted, they don’t have PitchCom down there.”
Yankees pitcher Ryan Weber, who spent the first two months this season in the minors, favors a clock but with four additional seconds. He pointed to a 3-2 fastball he threw to Norwich’s Patrick Dorrian on April 17 that ended a nine-pitch at-bat with a flyout. He feared a violation that would cause ball four.
“If I throw a pitch, catch the ball and then go around to the rosin bag, and then when I get on the mound and I’m looking for the sign, it’s running low and I got to say yes to that pitch,” Weber recalled. “I just grooved it. I felt that I was forced to throw.”
Violations dropped from 1.73 per game during the opening week to 0.52 in week 11.
MLB’s goal is to eliminate dead time, such time-consuming tics such as Nomar Garciaparra tapping toes and adjusting batting gloves between pitches.
“It’s something that takes a while to get used to, but I think overall the impact it had on the pace of the game was good,” said the Yankees’ Matt Carpenter, who spent April at Triple-A with Round Rock.
Minor league pitchers also have been limited to what the regulations call “two disengagements per plate appearance” with runners on — pickoff attempts or stepping off the runner. A third attempt that is unsuccessful results in an automatic balk.
Bases have been increased to 18-inch squares from 15, promoting safety — first basemen are less likely to get stepped on — but also boosting stolen bases and offense with a slightly decreased distance.
Shifts have been limited all season at Double-A and Class A, where teams are required to have four players on the infield, including two on each side of second base. The Florida State League adds an additional restriction starting July 22 by drawing chalk lines in a pie shape from second base to the outfield grass, prohibiting infielders from the marked area pre-pitch.
Use of shifts has exploded in the past decade, from 2,357 times on balls hit in play in 2011 to 28,130 in 2016 and 59,063 last year, according to Sports Info Solutions. Shifts are on pace for 71,000 this year.
There has been a corresponding drop in the big league batting average from .269 in 2006 to .255 in 2011 to .242 this season, on track to be the lowest since 1967 — before the mound height was cut.
“I like organic primarily,” said former Rays, Cubs and Angels manager Joe Maddon. “If we have to legislate our game to become better I would put the all the infielders on the dirt, but I’d still permit three on the one side.”
Shift ban tests are hard to interpret, giving there is far less shifting and defensive data in the minors.
MLB also is piloting an Automated Ball-Strike System in the minors, which could reach the majors as soon as 2024. Defining the computer strike zone is still being worked on.
Big league umps are much criticized in an age of high-speed video cameras analyzing every pitch. Jeremie Rehak and Pat Hoberg have been the most accurate plate umpires this season at 95.6% correct, according to UmpireScorecards.com. Among umps who have worked more than one game calling balls and strikes, Andy Fletcher (91.4%) and CB Bucknor (91.7%) have been the least accurate.
A test in the Class A Florida State League uses the robot umps in the first two games of each series, then has a human call ball and strikes in the remaining game with a challenge system. Each team gets three challenges and keeps its challenge if successful. Only the pitcher, catcher or batter may appeal, unlike the MLB replay challenge system, in which a manager generally has 20 seconds to challenge a call — leaving time for the team’s video room staff to make a recommendation.
“I love that,” Verlander said of the ball/strike challenge system. “These guys get a lot of flack, but they have one of the hardest jobs in the world. We’re throwing 100 mph, nicking corners. If I were an umpire, I like that: Oh, you think you’re better than me? Appeal it and find out. I think it’s a fun back and forth.”
Decisions fall to the technical committee, which includes players Jack Flaherty, Tyler Glasnow, Whit Merrifield and Austin Slater, umpire Bill Miller and six team officials.
MLB hopes quicker games will be more appealing to fans as it tries to rebuild attendance following the pandemic. Cyclones general manager Kevin Mahoney said minor league teams haven’t experienced a drop in concessions sales.
“We used to notice that at 9:30, fans would get up in like blocks of 10, 12, 14 at a time from different sections and leave. And I used to think, why is everybody leaving in the seventh inning?” Mahoney said. “Now on most nights we’re in the ninth inning at 9:30 and they don’t leave because the game is almost over.”

FARNBOROUGH, United Kingdom, July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As the commercial aviation industry maps a path to net zero emissions, Boeing (NYSE: BA) today unveiled a new data modeling tool to show the most effective scenarios for reaching the destination by 2050. The model includes consultation with leading universities and will continue to be used with key stakeholders. The company also shared illustrative hydrogen and electric concepts that could power the future of flight.
"There are multiple ways to a future where aviation has zero climate impact. We created Cascade on a foundation of credible data and analytical models to allow users to explore various pathways to net-zero. We think this model will help our industry visualize, for the first time, the real climate impact of each solution, from beginning to end, and to inform the most probable and effective strategies," said Boeing Chief Sustainability Officer Chris Raymond at the Farnborough International Airshow.
Raymond demonstrated Cascade, a data modeling tool Boeing created with consulting from leading universities. The tool appraises Boeing's major paths to decarbonize aviation and their potential power to reduce emissions through:
- Airplane fleet renewal
- Renewable energy sources such as sustainable fuel, hydrogen, electric propulsion
- Operational efficiency improvements
- Advanced technologies
The Cascade model assesses the full lifecycle impacts of renewable energy by accounting for the emissions required to produce, distribute and use alternative energy carriers such as hydrogen, electricity, and Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF). Boeing plans to utilize the Cascade tool with airline operators, industry partners, and policymakers to inform when, where, and how different fuel sources intersect with new airplane designs.
"We have to take a holistic view to decarbonization," said Raymond. "And when we do that, it is clear that sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is a necessary lever. We know it will take a 'SAF and' approach and not a 'SAF or' approach to achieving net-zero by 2050."
As part of the 'SAF and' approach, Boeing continues to advance the safety and viability of other renewable energy sources and their use on aircraft. Since the mid-2000's, Boeing has conducted six hydrogen technology demonstrations with crewed and uncrewed aircraft using hydrogen fuel cells and combustion engines. Last year, Boeing successfully tested a cryotank designed for space with the capacity to hold 16,000 gallons of liquid hydrogen or the energy equivalent of the Jet A fuel in a typical regional jet.
Aside from its work on hydrogen applications, Boeing has invested in electric-powered aircraft through its joint venture Wisk, which is working to bring to market the first all-electric, autonomous air taxi in the U.S. Wisk's current all-electric, eVTOL aircraft – on display at the Farnborough Airshow -- has conducted more than 1,600 successful test flights.
Informed by the company's extensive evaluation and testing of alternative propulsion sources and its research partnerships, Boeing today also shared illustrative 'Future Flight Concepts,' depicting potential hybrid, electric and hydrogen-powered aircraft.
"Our common goal is to enable the societal benefits of air transportation while reaching zero climate impact on our planet. To make that a reality, we believe it is best to learn and share our findings broadly, based on a foundation of data, scientific research and collaboration, as we work together to decarbonize aviation," said Brian Yutko, Boeing chief engineer and vice president of Sustainability and Future Mobility.

Height of stupidity! Coastguard slams beachgoers for ignoring warnings and posing for selfies on a CRACKED 262ft cliffs... just DAYS after huge rockfall
- 50,000 tonnes of chalk cliff collapsed near Seaford, East Sussex, last week
- Coastguard officials fear other parts of the 262ft high ledge could break away
- Despite this, people were filmed happily posing for selfies on crumbling edge
- The clip shows couples and others proudly posing for pictures near the crack
Daredevils posing for selfies on a crumbling cliff edge just days after a huge rockfall have been been criticised by wardens for their recklessness.
50,000 tonnes of chalk cliff collapsed near Seaford, East Sussex, on Wednesday, June 13.
Maritime and Coastguard Agency officials fear other parts of the 262ft high ledge could break away at any time.
Despite this, the safety warnings appear to have fallen on deaf ears, as several people were filmed posing for photos using the dangerous cliff edge as a backdrop.
The coastguard also received an image from social media of a couple standing proudly near the ledge.
Safety warnings to avoid the cliff edge at Seaford, East Sussex, went unheeded as several people were filmed there posing for photos

A coastguard spokesman told the Sussex Express: 'Less than a week after warnings about the dangerous cliffs at Seaford were published, we have received these pictures taken today a short distance away from the cracked cliff.
'Extra signs are in place as well as roped off areas - although this piece [in the photograph] is not roped off.
'Please keep at least five metres away from cliff edges. In a coastal emergency dial 999 and ask for Coastguard.'
Councillor Claire Dowling, East Sussex County Council's lead member for transport and environment, said: 'Visitors come from far and wide to enjoy the spectacular East Sussex coastline but the beauty hides many dangers.
'The cliffs are extremely unstable and prone to regular chalk falls, and people should not underestimate the risks they are taking when they stand on top of the cliffs or walk along the cliff base.

'Visitors should also remember that it is very easy to be caught out by the incoming tide when walking on the beach and to check the tide times before they set out. We want people to come to East Sussex and enjoy its beautiful coastline, but to do so safely and be aware of the dangers.'
The #BeCliffAware and #BeTideAware are joint campaigns promoted by HM Coastguard, The National Trust, South Downs National Park Authority, Sussex Wildlife Trust, East Sussex County Council, Seaford Town Council, Wealden District Council, Eastbourne Borough Council and Lewes District Council.
Any visitor who sees someone in danger or witnesses someone who has fallen is urged to call 999 immediately and ask for the Coastguard and not attempt to rescue those in danger. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11023903/Coastguard-slams-beachgoers-posing-selfies-CRACKED-262ft-cliffs-DAYS-rockfall.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-07-18T09:38:53Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11023903/Coastguard-slams-beachgoers-posing-selfies-CRACKED-262ft-cliffs-DAYS-rockfall.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false |
Ex-prosecutor: US judge planned to renege on Polanski deal
LOS ANGELES (AP) - A Los Angeles judge privately told lawyers he would renege on a plea deal and imprison Roman Polanski for having sex with a teenage girl in 1977, a former prosecutor testified, setting the stage for the renowned director to flee the U.S. as a fugitive.
A previously sealed transcript obtained late Sunday by The Associated Press late Sunday of testimony by retired Deputy District Attorney Roger Gunson supports Polanski’s claim that he fled on the eve of sentencing in 1978 because he didn’t think he was getting a fair deal.
Gunson said during closed-door testimony in 2010 that he wasn’t surprised Polanski fled after the judge had broken several promises made to his defense lawyer.
“The judge had promised him on two occasions ... something that he reneged on,” Gunson said. “So it wasn’t surprising to me that, when he was told he was going to be sent off to state prison ... that he could not or would not trust the judge.”
Defense lawyer Harland Braun said Friday — in expectation of the transcript’s release — that the development would renew his effort to have Polanski sentenced in absentia, which would end his status as a fugitive from justice.
Braun has unsuccessfully tried that before with prosecutors asserting and judges agreeing that Polanski needs to show up in Los Angeles Superior Court to resolve the matter.
Release of the transcript, which was ordered by a California appeals court Wednesday after Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón dropped longstanding objections his predecessors made to its release, may support Polanski’s claims that he was going to be railroaded by a corrupt judge.
The legal saga has played on both sides of the Atlantic as a recurring scene over four decades of a life marred by tragedy and also triumph.
As a child, Polanski escaped the Krakow Ghetto during the Holocaust. His wife, Sharon Tate, was among the seven people murdered in 1969 by followers of Charles Manson.
Polanski, 88, who was nominated for Oscars for 1974′s “Chinatown” and 1979′s “Tess,” won the best director statuette for “The Pianist” in 2003. But he wasn’t able to accept it because he faces arrest in the U.S.
France, Switzerland and Poland rejected bids to extradite him back to the United States and he continues to be feted in Europe, winning praise and working with major actors. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, however, expelled him from its membership in 2018 after the “MeToo” movement spurred a reckoning about sexual misconduct.
Polanski’s 13-year-old victim testified before a grand jury that during a photo shoot at Jack Nicholson’s house in March 1977 when the actor wasn’t home, Polanski gave her champagne and part of a sedative, then forced her to have sex. The girl said she didn’t fight him because she was afraid of him but her mother later called police.
When the girl refused to testify in court, Polanski pleaded guilty to unlawful sex with a minor in exchange for prosecutors dropping drug, rape and sodomy charges.
Polanski has argued that there was judicial misconduct in his case. In 2010, a Los Angeles court took sealed testimony from Gunson about his recollections of promises made to the director by the judge in 1977.
Polanski’s lawyers, who were in the room during Gunson’s testimony but couldn’t use it in court, have long sought to unseal that transcript to help their case.
Judge Laurence Rittenband, now deceased, had been swayed by publicity in the case and changed his mind several times about the punishment Polanski should face, Braun said.
After a report by probation officials that Polanski should serve no time behind bars, Rittenband sent the director for a further 90-day evaluation in state prison.
After 42 days of evaluation in prison, Polanski was released with a recommendation he only serve probation, Braun said.
But the judge then privately told lawyers he had to be tougher because of criticism in the news media. He said he would send Polanski to prison for a longer term but would then get him released within 120 days, which was possible under sentencing rules.
“Roman says, ‘How can I trust the judge that’s lied twice?’ So he takes off to Europe,” Braun said.
Gunson acknowledged during his testimony that the judge had discretion to sentence Polanski to any term because there had been no agreed-upon sentence. But he felt Rittenband had broken promises to Polanski.
The victim, Samantha Geimer, has long advocated that the case be dismissed or that Polanski be sentenced in absentia. She went so far as as to travel from her home in Hawaii to Los Angeles five years ago to urge a judge to end “a 40-year sentence which has been imposed on the victim of a crime as well as the perpetrator.”
“I implore you to consider taking action to finally bring this matter to a close as an act of mercy to myself and my family,” Geimer said.
The Associated Press does not typically name victims of sex abuse, but Geimer went public years ago and wrote a memoir titled “The Girl: A Life in the Shadow of Roman Polanski.” The cover features a photo shot by Polanski.
Polanski agreed to pay Geimer over $600,000 to settle a lawsuit in 1993.
Geimer, who has pressed for investigation of judicial misconduct, asked that the transcript be unsealed and in a letter last month and urged the DA’s office to take a fresh look at the case.
Prosecutors have consistently objected to releasing the material but relented earlier this week to honor Geimer’s wishes and be transparent with the public.
“This case has been described by the courts as ‘one of the longest-running sagas in California criminal justice history,’” Gascón said in a statement. “For years, this office has fought the release of information that the victim and public have a right to know.”
However, the DA did not indicate that Polanski would be able to avoid a court appearance. The press release said Polanski remains a fugitive and should surrender to the court for sentencing.

SC stays orders passed by Karnataka HC against ACB in bail plea hearing, calls them ‘unconnected’, ‘irrelevant’
The Bench said the observations made by HC judge H.P. Sandesh was "irrelevant" to the bail plea and also issued notice to expunge remarks made by Justice Sandesh against the ACB and its chief
The Supreme Court on Monday stayed orders passed by Karnataka High Court judge Justice H.P. Sandesh against the State Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) and its chief, Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) Seemant Kumar Singh, unconnected to a bail plea he was hearing in a corruption case.
The directions in question had ranged from seeking reports on prosecution/closure of cases probed by the ACB since 2016 and summoning confidential service records of the ADGP.
"We stay proceedings like asking for service report, B summary report, observations on the ACB, etc. Prima facie, the observations made were unconnected to the bail petition. The observations were not made within the ambit of bail proceedings. The conduct of the ACB officer is unconnected to the bail petition. We direct the High Court to decide the bail petition," a Bench led by Chief Justice of India N.V. Ramana ordered.
The Bench said the observations made by the High Court judge was "irrelevant" to the bail plea. The Bench also issued notice in a plea by ACB and Mr. Singh to expunge remarks made by Justice Sandesh against them.
Justice Sandesh had formerly called the ACB a "collection centre" and Mr. Singh a "tainted officer". The court however did not accede to a request to shift the case to another Bench. "Sorry, we have to balance... We cannot be seen to be favoring one side," the court said.
The court listed the case after three weeks.
Transfer threat to Justice Sandesh
On July 11, Justice Sandesh had revealed in an order that he was threatened with transfer for his adverse remarks against the State ACB and its top officer.
He had proceeded to give a blow by blow account of how he was subjected to a veiled threat of transfer, that too through a sitting judge of the High Court, unless he laid off the ACB and its top officer. Justice Sandesh said the incident had happened during the farewell dinner for a retiring Chief Justice of the High Court.

Ex-prosecutor: US judge planned to renege on Polanski deal
LOS ANGELES (AP) - A Los Angeles judge privately told lawyers he would renege on a plea deal and imprison Roman Polanski for having sex with a teenage girl in 1977, a former prosecutor testified, setting the stage for the renowned director to flee the U.S. as a fugitive.
A previously sealed transcript obtained late Sunday by The Associated Press late Sunday of testimony by retired Deputy District Attorney Roger Gunson supports Polanski’s claim that he fled on the eve of sentencing in 1978 because he didn’t think he was getting a fair deal.
Gunson said during closed-door testimony in 2010 that he wasn’t surprised Polanski fled after the judge had broken several promises made to his defense lawyer.
“The judge had promised him on two occasions ... something that he reneged on,” Gunson said. “So it wasn’t surprising to me that, when he was told he was going to be sent off to state prison ... that he could not or would not trust the judge.”
Defense lawyer Harland Braun said Friday — in expectation of the transcript’s release — that the development would renew his effort to have Polanski sentenced in absentia, which would end his status as a fugitive from justice.
Braun has unsuccessfully tried that before with prosecutors asserting and judges agreeing that Polanski needs to show up in Los Angeles Superior Court to resolve the matter.
Release of the transcript, which was ordered by a California appeals court Wednesday after Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón dropped longstanding objections his predecessors made to its release, may support Polanski’s claims that he was going to be railroaded by a corrupt judge.
The legal saga has played on both sides of the Atlantic as a recurring scene over four decades of a life marred by tragedy and also triumph.
As a child, Polanski escaped the Krakow Ghetto during the Holocaust. His wife, Sharon Tate, was among the seven people murdered in 1969 by followers of Charles Manson.
Polanski, 88, who was nominated for Oscars for 1974′s “Chinatown” and 1979′s “Tess,” won the best director statuette for “The Pianist” in 2003. But he wasn’t able to accept it because he faces arrest in the U.S.
France, Switzerland and Poland rejected bids to extradite him back to the United States and he continues to be feted in Europe, winning praise and working with major actors. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, however, expelled him from its membership in 2018 after the “MeToo” movement spurred a reckoning about sexual misconduct.
Polanski’s 13-year-old victim testified before a grand jury that during a photo shoot at Jack Nicholson’s house in March 1977 when the actor wasn’t home, Polanski gave her champagne and part of a sedative, then forced her to have sex. The girl said she didn’t fight him because she was afraid of him but her mother later called police.
When the girl refused to testify in court, Polanski pleaded guilty to unlawful sex with a minor in exchange for prosecutors dropping drug, rape and sodomy charges.
Polanski has argued that there was judicial misconduct in his case. In 2010, a Los Angeles court took sealed testimony from Gunson about his recollections of promises made to the director by the judge in 1977.
Polanski’s lawyers, who were in the room during Gunson’s testimony but couldn’t use it in court, have long sought to unseal that transcript to help their case.
Judge Laurence Rittenband, now deceased, had been swayed by publicity in the case and changed his mind several times about the punishment Polanski should face, Braun said.
After a report by probation officials that Polanski should serve no time behind bars, Rittenband sent the director for a further 90-day evaluation in state prison.
After 42 days of evaluation in prison, Polanski was released with a recommendation he only serve probation, Braun said.
But the judge then privately told lawyers he had to be tougher because of criticism in the news media. He said he would send Polanski to prison for a longer term but would then get him released within 120 days, which was possible under sentencing rules.
“Roman says, ‘How can I trust the judge that’s lied twice?’ So he takes off to Europe,” Braun said.
Gunson acknowledged during his testimony that the judge had discretion to sentence Polanski to any term because there had been no agreed-upon sentence. But he felt Rittenband had broken promises to Polanski.
The victim, Samantha Geimer, has long advocated that the case be dismissed or that Polanski be sentenced in absentia. She went so far as as to travel from her home in Hawaii to Los Angeles five years ago to urge a judge to end “a 40-year sentence which has been imposed on the victim of a crime as well as the perpetrator.”
“I implore you to consider taking action to finally bring this matter to a close as an act of mercy to myself and my family,” Geimer said.
The Associated Press does not typically name victims of sex abuse, but Geimer went public years ago and wrote a memoir titled “The Girl: A Life in the Shadow of Roman Polanski.” The cover features a photo shot by Polanski.
Polanski agreed to pay Geimer over $600,000 to settle a lawsuit in 1993.
Geimer, who has pressed for investigation of judicial misconduct, asked that the transcript be unsealed and in a letter last month and urged the DA’s office to take a fresh look at the case.
Prosecutors have consistently objected to releasing the material but relented earlier this week to honor Geimer’s wishes and be transparent with the public.
“This case has been described by the courts as ‘one of the longest-running sagas in California criminal justice history,’” Gascón said in a statement. “For years, this office has fought the release of information that the victim and public have a right to know.”
However, the DA did not indicate that Polanski would be able to avoid a court appearance. The press release said Polanski remains a fugitive and should surrender to the court for sentencing.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The Orlando amusement park where a teenager fell from a ride and died earlier this year has paused a new sniper-like laser shooting game amid criticism following a recent spate of mass shootings.
The Bullseye Blast game let riders of the 400-foot (122-meter) Wheel at ICON Park pay an extra $5.95 to shoot laser blasters at 50 targets strategically placed along rooftops throughout the park.
In a statement issued Saturday, park officials said that while the ride had been “well-received” by customers, some had questioned whether it was appropriate following mass shootings at a July 4 parade in a Chicago suburb, an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, and a grocery store in Buffalo, New York.
“Some non-guests and community members expressed that they considered the toy shooting device used to be insensitive,” the statement said.
“The attractions industry has many similar games which use similar shooting devices, so that is what we were limited to when exploring the game. However, we believe that a device can and should be designed which does not offend anyone in the community.”
Park officials said they “look forward to leading this new innovation.”
While the park has removed the game from its website, earlier this week it offered the following description of Bullseye Blaster: “To get the highest score possible, players need to hit as many of these as possible with their laser blaster during the 18-minute ride.”
The promos featured photos of riders pointing laser guns from the ride, FOX-35 reported.
Critics and supporters of the ride weighed in on social media over the past few days.
“This is in poor taste!” Florida state Sen. Linda Stewart, a Democrat from Orlando, said in a tweet responding to a news story about the ride. Others on social media scoffed at the park for pausing the game.
Controversy has surrounded the park, which is located along Orlando’s International Drive, since 14-year-old Tyre Sampson of Missouri fell from the Free Fall tower and died earlier this year.
An investigation later found the teen was nearly 100 pounds over the ride’s weight limit. His family has filed a lawsuit.
The park announced the Bullseye Blast in a news release on Thursday.
“The Wheel at ICON Park is the only observation wheel in the world to provide this amazing, new infrared technology, and effectively gamify and reinvigorate the experience to an entirely new audience of gamers,” the release said,
The blasters featured a scope and infrared beams that help players aim at targets on roofs.
Dennis Speigel, who is founder and CEO of International Theme Park Services Inc., told the Orlando Sentinel on Friday that he was surprised ICON Park executives, the creators of the blaster game — Amusements LLC and Steradian Technologies — didn’t consider the negative.
“Seeing these simulated guns pointed down at you from these heights, from all these cars, just doesn’t seem like the right decision,” Speigel told the Sentinel. “It’s a little bizarre.” | https://pix11.com/news/national-news/ap-national/florida-amusement-park-pauses-new-sniper-like-laser-game/ | 2022-07-18T10:03:39Z | https://pix11.com/news/national-news/ap-national/florida-amusement-park-pauses-new-sniper-like-laser-game/ | false |

Court directs Sanjay Raut to be present in complaint by Kirit Somaiya’s wife
Mumbai July 18, 2022 15:06 ISTMs. Somaiya has also filed a defamation suit against Mr Raut before High Court seeking an apology to her and a retraction of the allegations and accusation made in defamatory articles/materials published in Shiv Sena’s mouthpiece newspaper, Saamna.
A magistrate court on Monday directed Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut to be present in court on August 6 in a defamation case filed by Bharatiya Janata Party leader Kirit Somaiya's wife.
On July 8, Additional chief metropolitan magistrate issued a bailable warrant against Mr Raut as he had failed to appear before the court. However the court had cancelled the warrant when he appeared on July 14 and furnished a personal bond of ₹15,000.
The complaint against him is filed under Sections 499 (defamation) and 500 (punishment for defamation) of the Indian Penal Code by professor Medha Somaiya who teaches in a college affiliated with the Tata Institute of Social Sciences. She has also filed a civil suit of ₹100 crore and asked that Mr Raut either be ordered to pay or deposit the amount in the chief minister's relief fund as damages.
She has refuted the allegations made by the member of parliament of the couple being involved in a scam of ₹100 crore by misusing the funds collected to build toilets in the Mira Bhayandar area through Ms. Somaiya's non-governmental organisation.
Ms. Somaiya has also filed a defamation suit against Mr Raut before High Court seeking an apology to her and a retraction of the allegations and accusation made in defamatory articles/materials published in Shiv Sena’s mouthpiece newspaper, Saamna. Medha’s plea said that on April 12, 2022, she came across a newspaper article in the daily newspaper published by Saamna accusing her of a “toilet scam”. She says Mr. Raut has made these allegations without any proof to malign her image. | https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/mumbai/court-directs-sanjay-raut-to-be-present-in-complaint-by-kirit-somaiyas-wife/article65653431.ece/amp/ | 2022-07-18T10:09:00Z | https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/mumbai/court-directs-sanjay-raut-to-be-present-in-complaint-by-kirit-somaiyas-wife/article65653431.ece/amp/ | false |

FARNBOROUGH, United Kingdom, July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As the commercial aviation industry maps a path to net zero emissions, Boeing (NYSE: BA) today unveiled a new data modeling tool to show the most effective scenarios for reaching the destination by 2050. The model includes consultation with leading universities and will continue to be used with key stakeholders. The company also shared illustrative hydrogen and electric concepts that could power the future of flight.
"There are multiple ways to a future where aviation has zero climate impact. We created Cascade on a foundation of credible data and analytical models to allow users to explore various pathways to net-zero. We think this model will help our industry visualize, for the first time, the real climate impact of each solution, from beginning to end, and to inform the most probable and effective strategies," said Boeing Chief Sustainability Officer Chris Raymond at the Farnborough International Airshow.
Raymond demonstrated Cascade, a data modeling tool Boeing created with consulting from leading universities. The tool appraises Boeing's major paths to decarbonize aviation and their potential power to reduce emissions through:
- Airplane fleet renewal
- Renewable energy sources such as sustainable fuel, hydrogen, electric propulsion
- Operational efficiency improvements
- Advanced technologies
The Cascade model assesses the full lifecycle impacts of renewable energy by accounting for the emissions required to produce, distribute and use alternative energy carriers such as hydrogen, electricity, and Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF). Boeing plans to utilize the Cascade tool with airline operators, industry partners, and policymakers to inform when, where, and how different fuel sources intersect with new airplane designs.
"We have to take a holistic view to decarbonization," said Raymond. "And when we do that, it is clear that sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is a necessary lever. We know it will take a 'SAF and' approach and not a 'SAF or' approach to achieving net-zero by 2050."
As part of the 'SAF and' approach, Boeing continues to advance the safety and viability of other renewable energy sources and their use on aircraft. Since the mid-2000's, Boeing has conducted six hydrogen technology demonstrations with crewed and uncrewed aircraft using hydrogen fuel cells and combustion engines. Last year, Boeing successfully tested a cryotank designed for space with the capacity to hold 16,000 gallons of liquid hydrogen or the energy equivalent of the Jet A fuel in a typical regional jet.
Aside from its work on hydrogen applications, Boeing has invested in electric-powered aircraft through its joint venture Wisk, which is working to bring to market the first all-electric, autonomous air taxi in the U.S. Wisk's current all-electric, eVTOL aircraft – on display at the Farnborough Airshow -- has conducted more than 1,600 successful test flights.
Informed by the company's extensive evaluation and testing of alternative propulsion sources and its research partnerships, Boeing today also shared illustrative 'Future Flight Concepts,' depicting potential hybrid, electric and hydrogen-powered aircraft.
"Our common goal is to enable the societal benefits of air transportation while reaching zero climate impact on our planet. To make that a reality, we believe it is best to learn and share our findings broadly, based on a foundation of data, scientific research and collaboration, as we work together to decarbonize aviation," said Brian Yutko, Boeing chief engineer and vice president of Sustainability and Future Mobility.
Learn more about Boeing's sustainability commitments, partnerships and efforts in its recently released 2022 Sustainability Report and on Boeing's sustainability website.
As a leading global aerospace company, Boeing develops, manufactures and services commercial airplanes, defense products and space systems for customers in more than 150 countries.

Sri Lanka’s acting president declares state of emergency amid protests
Sri Lanka’s acting president Monday declared a state of emergency that gives him broad authority amid growing protests demanding his resignation two days before the country’s lawmakers are set to elect a new president.
Ranil Wickremesinghe became acting president Friday after his predecessor, Gotabaya Rajapaksa, fled abroad two days before and resigned after months-long mass protests over the country’s economic collapse.
Wickremesinghe’s move to impose a state of emergency came as protests demanding his own resignation continued in most parts of the country, with some protesters burning him in effigy.
Lawmakers who met Saturday began the process of electing a new leader to serve the rest of Rajapaksa’s term. Nominations for the election of the new president will be heard Tuesday, and if there is more than one candidate, the lawmakers will vote Wednesday.
The emergency decree issued by Wickremesinghe invokes sections of the Public Security Ordinance that allow him to make regulations in the interests of public security, the preservation of public order, the suppression of mutiny, riot or civil commotion, and for the maintenance of essential supplies.
Under the emergency regulations, Wickremesinghe can authorize detentions, take possession of any property and search any premises. He can also change or suspend any law.
With one brother president, another prime minister and three more family members Cabinet ministers, it appeared that the Rajapaksa clan had consolidated its grip on power in Sri Lanka. But it is now unraveling.
The island nation is engulfed in an unprecedented economic crisis that has triggered political turmoil.
Sri Lanka has run short of money to pay for imports of basic necessities such as food, fertilizer, medicine and fuel for its 22 million people. Its rapid economic decline has been all the more shocking because the economy had previously been expanding, with a growing, comfortable middle class.
Sri Lanka is seeking help from the International Monetary Fund and other creditors, but top officials say its finances are so poor that even obtaining a bailout has proven difficult.
The economic hardships led to widespread protests demanding the resignation of the government led by Rajapaksa. Although many ministers resigned in April and May, Rajapaksa remained in power until last week.

The main protests have occurred in the capital, Colombo, where protesters occupied the front of the president’s office for more than 100 days.
The protesters accuse Rajapaksa and his powerful political family of siphoning money from government coffers and of hastening the country’s collapse by mismanaging the economy. The family has denied the corruption allegations, but Rajapaksa acknowledged that some of his policies contributed to Sri Lanka’s meltdown.
Rajapaksa flew first to the Maldives on Wednesday and then to Singapore.

PARIS (AP) — French President Emmanuel Macron is hosting the leader of the United Arab Emirates on Monday to ensure energy supplies from the oil-rich Gulf country as Europe prepares for the possibility of a total cutoff of Russian natural gas following sanctions over the war in Ukraine.
Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan is in Paris on the first state visit to France since he was appointed president of the Western-allied nation of seven sheikhdoms in May. Sheikh Mohammed has been the nation’s de facto leader since 2014 and has built new alliances across the Middle East and Europe. He met with U.S. President Joe Biden over the weekend.
France has a particularly deep ties to the UAE, and the two leaders have developed a personal relationship in past years. The personal touch paid off during Macron’s official visit to Abu Dhabi last year that resulted in a 16 billion-euro ($18 billion) arms deal with the Gulf ally, the largest-ever French weapons contract for export.
The two leaders will focus on the war in Ukraine and resulting energy supply issues for France and Europe, according to a French presidency official, speaking to reporters on condition of anonymity in line with customary policy.
The official added that Macron and Sheikh Mohammed are “working on the signing of a bilateral agreement on hydrocarbons and on guarantees for the supply of hydrocarbons” to France.
As war in Ukraine rages into the sixth month and Europe is in the grip of a sweltering heat wave, the European Union countries are bracing for a potential Russian gas shutdown amid soaring energy prices, inflation and a cost-of-living crisis across the 27-member bloc.
Russia has cut off or reduced natural gas — which keeps industry running, generates electricity and heats homes in the winter — to a dozen European countries. A major gas pipeline also closed for scheduled maintenance last week, and there are fears that flows through Nord Stream 1 between Russia and Germany will not restart.
Leaders have been scrambling to fill underground storage by the beginning of fall in an effort to avert an economic and political crisis in winter. Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi is visiting Algeria on Monday to finalize deals boosting natural gas supplies from the North African country to Italy.
Macron said last week that his government would prepare a “sobriety plan” to conserve energy and that France keeps looking to diversify gas sources. He called for a faster shift toward offshore windfarms and more European cross-border energy cooperation “as we prepare ourselves for the scenario where we have to go without all Russian gas.”
French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said last month that the country has been in discussions with the UAE regarding supplies of oil and diesel to find “an alternative to Russian petrol." The UAE could provide a “temporary solution,” Le Maire told the French radio station Europe1. | https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/UAE-leader-in-France-to-discuss-Russian-energy-17311593.php | 2022-07-18T10:19:04Z | https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/UAE-leader-in-France-to-discuss-Russian-energy-17311593.php | false |

Most factories lack adequate fire safety systems: Bida
Most of the 5,206 factories inspected in the first phase have inadequate fire-fighting systems, many of those operating in rented buildings have design flaws and some do not have necessary permissions from various government agencies.
"The factory inspection has revealed that people working at the factories have a lack of safety awareness," Avijit Chowdhury, executive member of the Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (Bida), told The Business Standard (TBS).
Avijit Chowdhury said they will arrange safety training for officials of every department at factories to create awareness about what to do in case of accidents including how to use fire extinguishers.
After the first phase inspection, Bida has recommended separate zones for chemical and plastic factories.
"We have also called for accepting factories manufacturing agro-processed products as small and medium-sized enterprises and providing them with a separate zone," said Avijit Chowdhury.
In July 2021, 52 workers lost their lives in a devastating fire at the Hashem Foods factory in Narayanganj. After that, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina asked the authorities concerned to bring out the real picture of safety at industries and factories across the country.
A 24-member high-level national committee headed by PM's advisor on private industry and investment Salman F Rahman was formed to conduct site inspections of industries under the leadership of Bida.
Later, 108 teams involving a total of 1,080 people were set up to inspect the actual working environment and whether infrastructure, fire-extinguishing equipment and necessary measures have been in place to prevent accidents in factories.
Experts are working to evaluate the working environment and infrastructure of the country's industries. A total of 45,000 factories across the country have been listed for inspection.
Now it has been decided to inspect another 10,000 factories in the second phase, said Avijit Chowdhury.
As the number of compliant factories is high in the export-oriented garment industry, they are being excluded from this inspection.
Avijit Chowdhury said, "We will send our recommendations to the national committee which will make the final decision."
Govt starts inspecting Dhaka shopping malls
The government is looking into several security issues such as the fire safety systems in various shopping malls in the capital.
A Bida-led integrated team has started inspecting multi-storied shopping malls in Dhaka North and Dhaka South city corporation areas ahead of Eid-ul-Azha.
Avijit Chowdhury said that 1,072 markets in the city corporation areas had been identified for the first phase of inspection.
"The Fire Service, Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (Rajuk), the Department of Inspection for Factories and Establishments, and the city corporations have listed the risky buildings and markets in Dhaka," he added. | https://www.tbsnews.net/economy/industry/most-factories-lack-adequate-fire-safety-systems-bida-460110 | 2022-07-18T10:36:10Z | https://www.tbsnews.net/economy/industry/most-factories-lack-adequate-fire-safety-systems-bida-460110 | false |
Leading providers demonstrated exceptional software platform development, robust portfolios in diverse markets, and a sustainable business model
BOULDER, Colo., July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A new report from Guidehouse Insights examines the most forward thinking and innovative companies in the virtual power plant (VPP) platform market.
Energy markets are evolving toward a greater reliance on distributed energy resources (DER) that generate, consume, or store electricity creating a two-way power flow dynamic. A platform to manage this increasing two-way complexity is a VPP—the concept that intelligent aggregation and optimization of DER can provide the same essential services as a traditional 24/7 centralized power plant. According to a Leaderboard report from Guidehouse Insights, Centrica Business Solutions, AutoGrid Systems, and Generac Grid Services are the leading VPP platform vendors.
"VPPs can transform passive consumers into more active prosumers through the integration of new technologies such as demand response, solar PV systems, energy storage, and EVs," says Dan Power, research analyst with Guidehouse Insights. "Prosumers become active participants in grid operations, delivering the energy services they need but when called on, can also serve the needs of the larger grid."
These leaders have clearly differentiated themselves from the competition through exceptional software platform development, robust portfolios in diverse markets, and a sustainable business model. Companies that trail the leaders, while positioned for long-term success, may have not fully executed their product launches, need to differentiate themselves via a unique VPP (or DERMS) offering technology, or demonstrate wider market success in new market segments or geographies, according to the report.
The report, Guidehouse Insights Leaderboard: Virtual Power Plant Platform Vendors, examines the Strategy and Execution of 16 VPP platform vendors whose platforms can create mixed-asset VPPs. These providers are rated on the following criteria: vision; go-to-market strategy; partners/acquisitions/investors; DERMS integration strategy; technology scope; geographic reach; sales, marketing, and distribution; platform performance; value chain capture; project portfolio; business model; and staying power. Using Guidehouse Insights' proprietary Leaderboard methodology, vendors are profiled, rated, and ranked with the goal of providing an objective assessment of their relative strengths and weaknesses in the global VPP platform market.
Combined with the recently published Guidehouse Insights Leaderboard: DERMS Vendors, this report gives a peek into the future of grid-edge management landscape. An executive summary of the report is available for free download on the Guidehouse Insights website.

Weather-watchers' eyes will be on the record books on Monday (July 18) and Tuesday as Northamptonshire is likely to roast in its hottest ever temperatures, beating a heatwave from before World War One.
BBC Weather is predicting 41°C in parts of the county with Met Office red alerts and Government heat-health warnings in force for 48 hours.
Experts fear extreme heat could bring danger to life and bring widespread disruption.
County forecasters @NNweather confirmed the hot spell hitting the county is historic.
Top temperature at the Met Office Pitsford weather station, near Northampton, currently stands at 36.1.1 °C at 4.09pm on 31 July 2020 — but records there date back only to 1998.
@NNweather revealed: “Northamptonshire’s official highest recorded temperature is 36.7°C at Raunds on August 9, 1911 — which was also the UK’s highest temperature for 79 years.
“It’s likely this was exceeded in July 2019 in the east of the county when several private weather stations recorded 38°C.”
Raunds' record was finally beaten in 1990 when thermometers reached 37.1°C in Cheltenham, but has only been topped five times according to the Met Office.
The UK's current record is 38.7°C at Cambridge Botanic Garden on July 25, 2019.
Met Office chief meteorologist, Paul Davies, has told Sky News he has never seen weather charts like those coming through on Monday.
He said: “Tuesday is the day we are very concerned about.
“I’ve been a meteorologist for about 30 years and I’ve never see the charts that I’ve seen today.
“As a meteorologist, to see the brutality of the heat that we’re expecting tomorrow is quite astounding.”
While temperatures peak in the mid-afternoon, Mr Davies warned Monday night will be exceptionally hot.
He said: “Overnight, I would recommend that in any way you can, you try to cool yourself down.”
People are being warned to only travel by road or public transport if it is absolutely necessary.
Chief Fire Officer Darren Dovey, who chairs the Northamptonshire Local Resilience Forum said: “I think the simple message is, if you don’t have to travel during this extreme weather, it’s probably best not to as you might put yourself and others at risk.” | https://www.northantstelegraph.co.uk/news/people/northamptonshires-hottest-day-for-111-years-on-the-cards-as-forecasters-predict-41degc-in-parts-of-the-county-3771670 | 2022-07-18T10:42:37Z | https://www.northantstelegraph.co.uk/news/people/northamptonshires-hottest-day-for-111-years-on-the-cards-as-forecasters-predict-41degc-in-parts-of-the-county-3771670 | false |
CAIRO — Egyptian authorities suspended hot air ballooning over the ancient city of Luxor after two tourists were lightly injured during a ride early on Monday.
The statement did not say how the injuries occurred or elaborate on the nationalities of the tourists. It said only that the balloon was at an altitude of 60 meters (197 feet) when it veered off course.
The ministry said ballooning would not resume until an investigation to determine the cause of Monday’s incident is completed.
Hot air ballooning over Luxor, 510 kilometers (320 miles) south of Cairo, is popular as it offers tourists spectacular views of ancient temples.
However, ballooning accidents are not uncommon. A hot air balloon crash near Luxor in 2013 killed 19 tourists, likely the deadliest such accident on record.
In 2009, 16 tourists were injured when their balloon struck a cellphone transmission tower. A year earlier, seven tourists were injured in a similar incident. | https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/egypt-suspends-hot-air-ballooning-over-luxor-after-2-injured/2022/07/18/13ca0934-067c-11ed-80b6-43f2bfcc6662_story.html | 2022-07-18T10:45:30Z | https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/egypt-suspends-hot-air-ballooning-over-luxor-after-2-injured/2022/07/18/13ca0934-067c-11ed-80b6-43f2bfcc6662_story.html | false |

TORONTO, July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Franco-Nevada Corporation ("Franco-Nevada" or the "Company") (TSX: FNV) (NYSE: FNV) is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Franco-Nevada (Barbados) Corporation ("FNB"), has acquired a gold stream with reference to production from the Tocantinzinho project located in Pará State, Brazil for $250 million (the "Stream"). Additionally, Franco-Nevada, through one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, has agreed to provide G Mining Ventures Corp. ("G Mining Ventures") with a $75 million secured term loan (the "Term Loan") and to subscribe for $27.5 million of G Mining Ventures' common shares ("Common Shares").
"We are delighted to support G Mining Ventures with this construction financing package," said Paul Brink, President & CEO of Franco-Nevada. "Tocantinzinho is an attractive project in a prolific district and located in a good jurisdiction. The G Mining Ventures team has a track-record as one of the most capable mine building teams in the industry. As a stream financing partner we seek, through our financing and our involvement in projects, to help mine developers raise their full financial package on attractive terms. We are pleased to provide stream and debt financing to G Mining Ventures and along with two other strong strategic investors, La Mancha and Eldorado, to provide an equity component to fully finance the planned mine build."
Transaction Highlights
- Near-term gold contribution: Tocantinzinho is expected to be a low cost, conventional open pit mining and milling operation. The project is construction-ready and first production is expected in the second half of 2024. Based on expected mine performance, full year contributions to FNB from the project are expected to average approximately 24,500 GEOs per year over the first 5 years of full production.
- Experienced team with track record of project delivery: The G Mining Ventures team has a proven history of project development on time and on budget (including their role in constructing Newmont's Merian Mine in Suriname and Lundin Gold's Fruta del Norte Mine in Ecuador).

("La Mancha") and $20 million to Eldorado Gold Corporation ("Eldorado"), and by up to $40 million in equipment financing with Caterpillar Financial Services. As a result of this financing package and G Mining Ventures' cash on hand of $54 million as at June 30, 2022, G Mining Ventures will have total committed capital of $535 million. The available capital exceeds the expected Tocantinzinho remaining development capital of $455 million, establishing a pathway to production.

Senate Republicans and Democrats are inching closer to a deal on an immigration bill that farmers say if passed could help reduce food prices in part by helping them hire more workers.
This measure, known as the Farm Workforce Modernization Act, is focused mainly on updating the food production workforce, a system some call outdated and that has led to higher food prices especially for dairy, meat and vegetables.
It would do this by allowing more farmers — like dairy and pork producers — to hire temporary workers year-round. Currently, year-round employers cannot use that worker visa program, known as the H-2A temporary agricultural program used by seasonal employers. It would also satisfy some goals for labor rights advocates by providing a pathway to legalization for workers who show a dedicated history of farm work.
But Senate negotiators writing the bill are stuck on a little-known provision centered on those H-2A workers: whether they should be allowed to sue their employers if they believe labor laws have been broken.
That provision's biggest foe is the American Farm Bureau Federation. The Farm Bureau, often known for its more conservative stances, has long been the agriculture lobbying giant in Washington.
The bill received large GOP support in the House, where it passed twice. And members are anxious for their Senate counterparts to finally finish writing and introduce a bill. The split within the GOP over agriculture labor reform, led by Farm Bureau influence, threatens the prospects of a final deal as time runs out.
Republicans on the Hill are accusing each other of not understanding the urgency of the bill, or even what it could do.
"It's sitting over on the Senate side waiting to move over there because there are people creating misperceptions about what the bill does," said California's Doug LaMalfa at a GOP-led press conference on the bill Tuesday. "Do people want to eat in this country or not?"
What is MSPA?
For over a year now, the top Senate negotiators on the bill – Democrat Michael Bennet of Colorado and Republican Mike Crapo of Idaho – have struggled to nail down a compromise for a handful of provisions. They've made progress, but the biggest hurdle is the lawsuit provision. It proposes to expand employee protections known as the Migrant and Seasonal Agriculture Workers Protections Act.
That's one of the many laws establishing labor protections for farmworkers under the Labor Department, and it regulates the contracting, payment, record keeping, housing, transportation and other working conditions of farmworkers in the U.S.
Proponents of the immigration bill argue many of these laws are already broader and wider reaching than MSPA requirements, or in many cases even the same. The biggest difference: the possibility of workers filing lawsuits against their employers.
Unlike other farm labor laws, MSPA allows workers who believe an employer has violated a portion of the law to file a lawsuit in a federal district court. And unlike other laws, MSPA has specifically excluded H-2A visa workers — something the bill is looking to change.
And there are more H-2A workers than ever before.
Farmers and ranchers are able to resource the H-2A visa program if they need workers to perform seasonal or temporary agricultural labor so long as they can prove that they were not able to hire a domestic worker, among other requirements.
Demand for the visas has been steadily on the rise as producers face labor shortages, even before the pandemic. Although H-2A visa workers still make up about 11% of the overall ag workforce, the Labor Department noted the number of visas has more than tripled since 2012.
Where is the divide?
The lawsuit provision isn't new – it was included in the House version of the bill years ago by Democrats who wanted to increase labor protections for farmworkers. Labor advocates say the law helps protect workers from being shorted on wages and placed in unsafe housing and transportation by requiring record keeping. This and the ability to file a lawsuit, said Reyna Lopez, does not differ from how employee rights work in other sectors.
"[We] really need these very basic documentations, very basic standards, very basic housing standards and licenses when people are driving and proof of their transportation when they're driving," Lopez said. "This is the bare minimum we're asking from our employers when we're doing a lot to make sure that this economy continues."
Advocates say that with the increased number of visa workers, it is even more important to ensure all workers that do the same job have the same protections.
But the Farm Bureau and other employer groups argue the bill could potentially result in frivolous lawsuits costing producers, who are already operating on slim margins, thousands of dollars.
"That's an area where our policy is extremely clear. We do not support the inclusion of H-2A under MSPA in this manner," said Allison Crittenden, the bureau's director of government affairs. "So we want to make sure that folks can be out farming and not dealing with frivolous lawsuits that could result from this."
Producers, however, are generally split. And the lines seem to fall based on where they live.
Those in the Southeastern region of the U.S., including North and South Carolina and Georgia, who may have more employers who solely rely on H-2A workers and have never dealt with MSPA before, have reservations.
"Our farmers, they love their workers and they're not opposed to a legalization program," said Lee Wicker, deputy director of the North Carolina Growers Association, the top employer for H-2A workers last year, but he added there is concern the law could be utilized by unions looking to organize or help employees retaliate against employers.
Proponents of the bill argue the Farm Bureau is siding more with Southeastern growers, as opposed to those who may be willing to compromise. The New York and Utah state Farm Bureaus, who also happen to have a larger dairy industry, favor the legislation.
"It's very digestible. It's a good sound bite. And I think the legacy H-2A users in North and South Carolina, Georgia have done a very good job of messaging," said a Senate staffer familiar with negotiations. "The American Farm Bureau has embraced the concerns echoed by those growers down there. If we can get the American Farm Bureau to a place where they're neutral, that would be huge."
But many producers don't oppose the expansion of MSPA. Some say they already hire both domestic and visa workers, meaning they are already used to following the law.
"Honestly, there's a lot of ambivalence towards the issue here in the West. You don't hear it discussed in our circles as much as what you do in the Southeast," said Rick Naerebout, CEO of the Idaho Dairymen's Association, who noted most dairies have at least one domestic worker and are therefore already subject to MSPA. "In terms of employees litigating issues with employers, that's largely a non-issue."
The sentiment even exists among traditional growers in the Southeast. Charles Wingard, a vegetable farmer in South Carolina, told NPR that he uses a blend of H-2A and domestic workers and has never had an issue with MSPA, nor does he have an issue with the expansion.
"It goes back to if you treat your workers good and do right for them and by them. ...You shouldn't have any problems with them," Wingard said.
Mike Gempler, executive director of the Washington Growers League, said many growers in the state are already subject to MSPA. Yet, his organization still supports the bill despite seeing the labor law as a "confrontational" option to resolving conflict.
"It's compromise," he said. "I think what we have to do is make it work and make sure people are treated right and have protection. That's more important to have the H-2A program and have a good H-2A program that we can use that's affordable rather than hold out for keeping MSPA out of it."
Getting to 60 votes
As of last week, Senate negotiators have reached tentative deals on a few provisions that had been holding them up – proposals that they say would help save employers money amid rising costs. For example, they agreed to freeze H-2A wages at current levels for the next year, and they are nearing a deal that would allow year-around employers to hire more workers than what the House proposed.
But skepticism over the American Farm Bureau Federation's refusal to support expansion is the biggest hurdle.
Crapo is not willing to put his name on a bill unless there is buy-in from a significant number of Republicans and unlocking support, or at least neutrality, from the Southeast is crucial, according to sources familiar with negotiations.
But the Farm Bureau still maintains a stronghold and time is running out: production costs are only increasing and the November midterms are getting closer.
Crittenden told NPR that the Farm Bureau is waiting to see the final bill before endorsing or opposing the effort and although it didn't support the House version, it didn't actively campaign against it either.
Although the proposal is GOP-backed, minority leader Kevin McCarthy has said he won't put any immigration-related bills on the floor if the House flips following the November elections. Newhouse told reporters that even in a GOP-led House he would push to bring the bill back to the House floor for a vote if it is sent back with changes from the Senate and others are prepared to support him.
"I am living proof that you can actually go out and talk about immigration and win an election," said Idaho GOP Rep. Mike Simpson during the press conference. "It's not as toxic as some people think...We need immigration reform, this is one part of it: ag immigration reform."

It’s time for our older citizens to have a voice at the State House.
Now more than ever, we need policy that addresses the needs of older citizens to age in place with dignity. These are active, older adults living meaningful lives. These are our parents and grandparents, many of whom came here from another country to make a better life for their children. We owe them a debt of gratitude.
We have an Age Wave in Rhode Island. 1 in 4 Rhode Islanders will be 65 or older by 2030. People want to age in place at home. Yet, Rhode Island spends only 22 percent of Medicaid dollars on home care, when most states average nearly 50 percent. That’s why we are ranked 42nd in the nation when it comes to aging in place.

The office of the lieutenant governor is responsible for statewide aging policy through the Long Term Care Coordinating Council. As a legislator for 14 years, I know how to write legislation that creates policy that will change people’s lives. Four Es have framed my policy work: Economy, Education, Environment, and Elderly. I am running for lieutenant governor to be a bridge between the governor’s office and the state legislature, something that has been missing from this office in the recent past.
Whether it’s the Livable Home Modification grants, to help those 65 and older with disabilities or surgeries make their homes more accessible to age in place, or my Circuit Breaker Senior Property Tax Relief that provides a $600 property tax credit to seniors on their state taxes if they make less than $35,000 year, it’s about working with advocates like AARP, Senior Agenda, and our senior centers, to build consensus on policy. This will help 1 in 4 Rhode Islanders 65 and older who are living on $20,000 a year, many on Social Security alone.

Yes, we have Meals on Wheels, Medicaid, Medicare, home and community services, assisted living, and the Affordable Care Act, but that doesn’t mean your parents — or you — will age in place with dignity. Not unless this state begins to address the needs of a growing, active, older population by investing in infrastructure and policy, as well as home care, and local senior centers.
That’s why I co-sponsored H7616 with House colleagues to elevate the Office of Healthy Aging back to full department-level status, as it was for 30 years. In 2011, the Department of Elderly Affairs was downgraded to the Division of Elderly Affairs, and then three years ago, demoted to the Office of Healthy Aging. It’s a catchy name, but does not have Cabinet status or the budget. This is counterintuitive: The state’s population is growing older, yet the office responsible for senior services, resources, and home care is diminishing in staff, stature, and budget.
There is so much more that the office of lieutenant governor could and should do to promote aging policy as part of its statutory requirement. I will put the office to work over the next four years as we prepare for the wave of active Baby Boomer retirees who want to age in place. Just because you’re getting older, doesn’t mean you’re getting old!
State Representative Deb Ruggiero (D-Jamestown/Middletown) is a candidate for lieutenant governor. She is a member of the House finance committee and chairwoman of the House committee on internet and technology.

ROME (AP) — Pleas were piling up Sunday in Italy aimed at persuading Premier Mario Draghi to stay in office instead of resigning as he tried to do last week after being let down by a populist coalition partner.
Hundreds of mayors have signed an open letter. Union leaders and industrialists, who often have opposing agendas, have been united in pressing Draghi to keep on governing. Italy and other European nations are facing soaring energy costs, steep inflation, surging COVID-19 cases and the war in Ukraine. In addition, a severe drought is parching Italy.
By Sunday afternoon — three days after populist 5-Star Movement senators boycotted a confidence vote tied to an government energy relief bill — more than 80,000 citizens had signed a “Draghi stay” online petition, launched by former Premier Matteo Renzi, who heads a small centrist party in Draghi’s 17-month-old government.
”Let’s mobilize ourselves in every way to bring back Draghi to Chigi Palace (the premier’s office),” Renzi tweeted.
The letter originally grouped 11 mayors, including from Rome and Milan, but soon gained support from several hundred mayors of cities and towns, state TV said Sunday. The mayors cited the problems of everyday citizens as some of the “good reasons” Draghi should stay put. Financial markets consider the former European Central Bank chief as a pillar of solid fiscal governance for Italy, which is receiving billions in European Union pandemic recovery funds.
If Draghi has been moved by the entreaties, he wasn’t saying.
The premier has been holed up in a countryside home mulling over what he’ll tell Parliament on Wednesday. President Sergio Mattarella, who last week rebuffed Draghi’s resignation, told him to lay out the political situation before lawmakers.
Clearly not budging was Giuseppe Conte, Draghi’s predecessor, who triggered the crisis by having his 5-Star lawmakers walk out of the Senate vote because it contained a provision to build an incinerator in trash-choked Rome that the populists oppose.
Depending on support from his coalition partners ranging from the left to the right, Draghi had been forging ahead with economic and other reforms that are a requirement for Italy to receive 200 billion euros ($200 billion) in EU pandemic recovery funds.
His steadfast support for Ukraine, including sending military aid despite grumbling by the populists, has earned him statesman status in Europe.
Conte, whose left-leaning ruling coalition crumbled in 2021 amid pandemic struggles, over the weekend refused to pledge unwavering support for Draghi’s national unity government. After huddling for hours with his squabbling Movement, Conte demanded that Draghi give the 5-Stars “guaranteed conditions of respect” and said his lawmakers could vote “from time to time” in favor of government measures.
Five-Star Sen. Gianmauro Dell’Olio insisted Sunday that if Draghi “wants to offer us peanuts, I don’t believe that it’s opportune for us to carry on with this government.”
Ultimately, Mattarella must decide what to do if Draghi on Wednesday insists on resigning.
Mattarella could dissolve Parliament, triggering an early election as soon as late September. He could also see if there is political support for a limited-agenda government to stay in place until Italian lawmakers pass the national budget, necessary by year’s end. | https://www.wane.com/news/national-world/ap-international/pleas-pile-up-in-italy-for-pm-draghi-to-rethink-exit/ | 2022-07-18T10:50:22Z | https://www.wane.com/news/national-world/ap-international/pleas-pile-up-in-italy-for-pm-draghi-to-rethink-exit/ | true |
Which all-terrain truck tires are best?
All-terrain truck tires are designed to be used on- and off-road every day. They adapt to the standard paved road but can navigate sand, dirt, mud, gravel and other similar off-road conditions with relative ease. All-terrain truck tires fit and perform the best on trucks and SUVs with four-wheel drive and all-wheel drivetrains.
All-terrain truck tires benefits
All-season truck tires are specifically made to grip street pavement the majority of the time you drive, while off-road/mud-terrain truck tires land on the other end of the spectrum, manufactured for mostly off-roading and mudding. All-terrain tires fall right in the center of the spectrum — they are tires that will handle both extremes when you need them to, but they are best suited for conditions somewhere in the middle. That means you can pack your camping gear, take the highway to an off-road trail access point and still safely make it through muddy and rocky conditions to the trailhead, where your true adventure begins.
Can I use all-terrain truck tires in the winter?
Keep in mind that while you can drive all-terrain truck tires in winter conditions, winter tires will provide up to 50 percent more traction than all-season tires, still making them the best choice over all-terrain tires when temperatures consistently drop below 40 degrees.
Winter tires are made from a soft rubber compound that resists becoming rigid despite falling temperatures. They remain flexible in frigid temperatures, allowing for more traction between tire and road. What’s more, their unique tread patterns of wide grooves provide tiny escape channels for slush, snow and ice. The friction between rubber and road melts the winter elements on the rubber’s surface and flows through the crevasses along the tire until it’s dispelled onto the road. Small, deep slits in winter tires, called sipes, cut through water and slush to avoid hydroplaning.
Although there are parallels between off-road and snow tire design, including rubber treads with wide and grip-enhancing grooves, snow tires are the best option for all winter road conditions.
Are all all-terrain truck tires designed to perform the same?
Not all all-terrain tires are designed for the same purposes. There are various brands and models suited for an equally diverse spectrum of driving conditions and driver demands. Nonetheless, due to all-terrain truck tires being more durable than all-season truck tires, they have thicker sidewalls. Also, they can be larger and wider than standard tires, making them better suited for your towing and hauling needs compared to all-season treads. For hauling heavy debris, a camper or even multiple cars, all-terrain truck tires offer a more aggressive tread and are the heaviest, most durable all-terrain tires available, making them the best tire and tread types to buy for such purposes.
What can I expect to pay for a set of all-terrain truck tires?
You can expect to pay $400-$900 for the smallest set of four all-terrain truck tires.

This Morning fans are in hysterics after Dermot O'Leary makes blunder on live show. The presenter called his co-host Alison Hammond a "b**ch" live on air.
As the pair joked with each other, Dermot raised his glass to the camera and said "such a b**ch". This led to Alison immediately apologising for his language before she appeared to struggle to contain her laughter.
Fans of the show immediately took to Twitter as they couldn't believe what had happened. They wrote that they were "screaming" at both their reactions.

Alison said: "Apologies for that language," whilst Dermot sipped his water. Whilst his co-host was still in shock of what had happened, he also apologised with a quick "sorry" to Alison.
The joke was prompted after an old clip of Dermot presenting Big Brother was played, when Alison said: "You were so good on that show," and Dermot said: "Just at that show?" Which Alison wined him up with a simple, "Yeah."
The popular pair typically present the Friday episodes of This Morning but are currently appearing on more weekdays whilst main presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield enjoy their summer break.
Fans went on to say: "I’m screaming at Alison trying to keep a straight face after Dermot called her a b*tch live on air."
Another wrote: "Dermot saying “such a b*tch” and Alison trying to not laugh is getting me through the heatwave #thismorning."

Another wrote: "Ooo Dermot, naughty boy. Were we seeing the real side of him there?"
But some were not impressed at all, writing: "Dermot saying “such a b*tch” and Alison trying to not laugh is getting me through the heatwave #thismorning."
ITV have previously spoken out to deny all feud rumours between Alison and Dermot. They told The Mirror, "Despite the challenges of starting their on screen partnership during a pandemic, Alison and Dermot have developed a firm friendship and their chemistry has proved a ratings success.
"Since the pandemic ended, the pair are now able to enjoy socialising together post the show and have enjoyed spending time with each other's families too."

Approaching a van that distributes safe supplies for drug use in Greenfield, a man named Kyle noticed an alert about xylazine.
“Xylazine?” he asked, sounding out the unfamiliar word. “Tell me more.”
A street outreach team from Tapestry Health delivered what’s becoming a routine warning; xylazine is an animal tranquilizer. It’s not approved for humans, but it’s shown up in about half of the drug samples Tapestry tests — mostly fentanyl, but also cocaine.
Kyle rocked backwards on his heels at the mention of cocaine.
“The past week, we’ve all been just racking our brains, like what is going on,” he said. “We’ve been accusing people of messing with our stuff. There’s been a lot of drama.”
Kyle and his friends thought they were using cocaine. But there was something else in the bag.
“Because if we cook it up and we smoke it, we’re falling asleep after,” Kyle said. WBUR is using first names in this story for people who use illegal drugs.
Kyle’s deep sleep might have been triggered by fentanyl, which is sometimes in cocaine too. But Kyle said one of his buddies used a test strip to check for the opioid and it didn’t show any.
This month xylazine was in a quarter of drug samples tested by the Massachusetts Drug Supply Data Stream (MADDS). It’s a state-funded network of community drug checking and advisory groups that uses spectrometers to let people who use drugs and researchers know what’s in bags or pills purchased on the street.
In some areas of state, including western Massachusetts, researchers found xylazine in 50%-75% of samples. In Greenfield, that’s a big change from last year, when xylazine wasn’t a concern.
“We’ve seen an exponential increase during the pandemic,” said Traci Green, who directs the opioid policy research collaborative at Brandeis and oversees MADDS. “Now the sad thing is we’re really seeing it all over the state. It’s definitely hazardous.”
There’s a lot of speculation about how and why xylazine is on the rise. It may be added to fentanyl or heroin to help extend the effects of an opioid high. Dealers may be using this relatively inexpensive and easy-to-order sedative if there are supply chain gaps with other drugs.
Whatever its path into the drug supply, the presence of xylazine has triggered warnings in Massachusetts and beyond.
As Xylazine Rises, Overdoses Rise Too
Perhaps the biggest concern is xylazine’s association with more overdoses and deaths. Researchers in one study found that xylazine was detected in less than 1% of overdose deaths in 2015. By 2020, however, that share increased to 6.7%. The U.S. set a new record for overdose deaths that year. In 2021, fatal overdoses rose again, killing 107,000 people.
The study does not claim xylazine is causing more fatal ODs, but study co-author Chelsea Shover said it may contribute. Xylazine, a sedative, slows breathing, blood pressure and a person’s heart rate, compounding some effects of an opioid like fentanyl or heroin.
“If you have an opioid and a sedative, those two things are going to have stronger effects together,” said Shover, an epidemiologist at UCLA School of Medicine.
In Greenfield, Tapestry Health has responded to more overdoses as more tests show the presence of xylazine.
“It correlates with the rise, and it correlates with Narcan not being effective to reverse xylazine, said Amy Davis, the assistant director for rural harm reduction operations at Tapestry.
“It’s scary to hear that there’s something new going around that could be stronger maybe than what I’ve had,” said May, a woman who stopped by Tapestry’s van. May said she has a strong tolerance for fentanyl, but a few months ago, she started getting something that didn’t feel like fentanyl, something that “knocked me out before I could even put my stuff away.”
A Shifting Overdose Response
Davis and colleagues are ramping up the safety messages: Never use alone, always start with a small dose and always carry naloxone, also known by the brand name Narcan.
They’ve also changed the way they talk about drug overdoses. Staffers begin by explaining that xylazine is not an opioid. Squirting naloxone into someone’s nose won’t reverse a deep xylazine sedation.
With xylazine, the immediate goal is to make sure the person is getting oxygen into their brain. So Davis and others advise starting rescue breathing after giving the first dose of Narcan. It may help restart the lungs even if the person doesn’t wake up.
“We don’t want to be focused on consciousness, we want to be focused on breathing,” Davis said.
Giving Narcan is still critical because xylazine is often mixed with fentanyl, and fentanyl is killing people.
“If you see anyone who you suspect has an overdose, please give Narcan,” said Dr. Bill Soares, an emergency room physician and the director of harm reduction services at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield.
Soares said calling 911 is also critical, especially with xylazine, “because if the person does not wake up as expected, they’re going to need more advanced care.”
‘Profound Sedation’ Worries Health Providers
Some people who use drugs say xylazine knocks them out for six or eight hours, raising concerns about the potential for serious injury during this “profound sedation,” said Dr. Laura Kehoe, medical director at the Massachusetts General Hospital Bridge Clinic.
Kehoe and other clinicians worry about patients who get xylazine and go out while lying in the sun or snow, in one position, perhaps in an isolated area.
“We’re seeing people who’ve been sexually assaulted,” Kehoe said. “They’ll wake up and find that their pants are down or their clothes are missing, and they are completely unaware of what happened.”
Kehoe said the surge of xylazine heightens the need for supervised consumption clinics, where people can use drugs under the watch of trained staff. Legislation that would allow a pilot program in Massachusetts is still in committee at the State House, with just a couple of weeks left in this year’s formal sessions.
Newton Police Chief John Carmichael, who chairs the Massachusetts Chiefs of Police Association’s substance abuse committee, is opposed to the pilot program. Carmichael said in his experience, people who buy illegal drugs use them immediately and wouldn’t take the time to travel to one of these sites.
“So I just don’t see how these sites would be really effective,” Carmichael said. “And I find it to be a little immoral as well that somebody who I think we should really be trying to help, getting them into treatment and recovery, and I think we have an obligation to do that more so.”
A study conducted in Vancouver showed an increase in treatment as the city added overdose prevention sites.
Another study out of France last month found that people who use supervised consumption clinics have fewer boils and abscesses related to injections. Clinicians say that’s especially compelling now, with xylazine.
In Greenfield, nurse Katy Robbins pulled up a photo from a patient seen in April as xylazine contamination soared.
“We did sort of go, ‘Whoa, what is that?’ ” Robbins remembered, studying her phone.
The image shows a wound like deep road rash, with an exposed tendon and a spreading infection. Robbins and Tapestry have created networks so clients can get same day appointments with a local doctor or hospital to treat this type of injury.
“They can, and they won’t because there’s so much stigma and shame around wounds from injection drug use,” said Robbins. “Often people wait until they have a life-threatening infection.”
That may be one reason why amputations are on the rise among people who use drugs in Philadelphia, where xylazine has surged. The sedative is now in more than 90% of samples there.
“We’re certainly seeing a lot more wounds, and we’re seeing some severe wounds,” said Dr. Joseph D’Orazio, the director of medical toxicology and addiction medicine at Temple University Hospital in Philadelphia. “Almost everybody is linking this to xylazine.”
D’Orazio and his colleagues are still trying to figure out why wounds are worse with xylazine use. It could be that wounds don’t heal as quickly because xylazine reduces blood flow. Some patients also report more skin picking with xylazine. There’s a lot clinicians still don’t know about the effects of this drug that has not been approved for use in humans.
D’Orazio said xylazine withdrawal is also challenging because it is accompanied by extreme anxiety. One patient described the feeling of being trapped in a room that’s on fire. This level of anxiety makes it more difficult to speak with people about treatment and get them into detox programs.
“It’s not like other sedatives that we have experience with,” said D’Orazio.

TORONTO, July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Franco-Nevada Corporation ("Franco-Nevada" or the "Company") (TSX: FNV) (NYSE: FNV) is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Franco-Nevada (Barbados) Corporation ("FNB"), has acquired a gold stream with reference to production from the Tocantinzinho project located in Pará State, Brazil for $250 million (the "Stream"). Additionally, Franco-Nevada, through one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, has agreed to provide G Mining Ventures Corp. ("G Mining Ventures") with a $75 million secured term loan (the "Term Loan") and to subscribe for $27.5 million of G Mining Ventures' common shares ("Common Shares").
"We are delighted to support G Mining Ventures with this construction financing package," said Paul Brink, President & CEO of Franco-Nevada. "Tocantinzinho is an attractive project in a prolific district and located in a good jurisdiction. The G Mining Ventures team has a track-record as one of the most capable mine building teams in the industry. As a stream financing partner we seek, through our financing and our involvement in projects, to help mine developers raise their full financial package on attractive terms. We are pleased to provide stream and debt financing to G Mining Ventures and along with two other strong strategic investors, La Mancha and Eldorado, to provide an equity component to fully finance the planned mine build."
Transaction Highlights
- Near-term gold contribution: Tocantinzinho is expected to be a low cost, conventional open pit mining and milling operation. The project is construction-ready and first production is expected in the second half of 2024. Based on expected mine performance, full year contributions to FNB from the project are expected to average approximately 24,500 GEOs per year over the first 5 years of full production.

Heat exhaustion and heatstroke - what are the signs and symptoms and what's the difference?
People with long-term health issues, including diabetes and heart problems, are said to be most at risk in the hot conditions - while leading health officials have urged people to look out for each other as temperatures soar.
Monday 18 July 2022 11:19, UK
Intervention to prevent heat exhaustion and heatstroke can be "lifesaving" as people are urged to look out for the danger signs.
The NHS says heat exhaustion is "not usually serious if you cool down within 30 minutes" - but warns it needs to be treated as an emergency if it turns into heatstroke.
England's chief medical officer, Professor Sir Chris Whitty, has asked people to look out for each other, adding: "Please remember the signs of heat exhaustion and heatstroke especially for older and medically vulnerable people.
"Early intervention to cool people down and rehydrate them can be lifesaving."
Heatwave latest - 'stay indoors warning' as temperatures soar
People with long-term health issues, including diabetes and heart problems, are said to be most at risk in the hot conditions.
So what are the things to look out for to identify heat exhaustion and heatstroke?
Heat exhaustion signs include:
• Headache
• Dizziness and confusion
• Loss of appetite
• Feeling sick
• Excessive sweating and pale, clammy skin
• Cramps in the arms, legs and stomach
• Fast breathing or higher pulse rate
• High temperature of 38C or above
• Being very thirsty
Symptoms are mostly the same in adults and children - but youngsters may also become floppy and sleepy.
The NHS says people should dial 999 if there are signs of heatstroke.
Evidence of heatstroke can include:
• Shortness of breath or faster breathing
• A fit/seizure
• Loss of consciousness
• Someone is unresponsive
If people are showing signs of heat exhaustion, they should follow these NHS guidelines to try to prevent the onset of heatstroke:
• Move to a cool place
• Lie down and raise feet slightly
• Drink plenty of water - sports or hydration drinks are fine
• Cool down the skin - use a cool water spray or sponge
• Use cold packs around the armpits or neck

Why climate change will make this heatwave more dangerous
If someone still feels unwell after 30 minutes of resting in a cool place and drinking plenty of water, they are showing signs of heatstroke and can contact 111.
Other indicators include not sweating despite feeling hot, feeling confused and having a high temperature of 40C.
How can you avoid becoming unwell from the heat?
There are steps people can take to make sure they are safe during a heatwave.
These include drinking plenty of cold drinks, taking cool baths or showers, wearing light-coloured and loose clothing, avoiding the sun between 11am and 3pm, avoiding excess alcohol and not doing extreme exercise.
Doctors have also given other advice and tips to help remain healthy during the heatwave.
These include to not consume too many products with caffeine as "they can actually make you lose more fluid".
People can also monitor the colour of their urine to "make sure it's nice and pale - that's a good sign you're staying hydrated enough".
People should make sure they have sun cream on if they do venture outside - while if you are inside it is "actually better" to have the windows, doors and curtains closed while the sun is beating into the house because "if you have everything open you'll be letting hot air in".
Neighbours are being urged to keep an eye on vulnerable people - while people needing medications should ensure the drugs are being stored away from high temperatures in accordance with guidelines.
Parents and carers have also been warned about ensuring children who want to be "outside playing" have plenty to drink and are wearing sun cream. | https://news.sky.com/story/heat-exhaustion-and-heatstroke-what-are-the-signs-and-symptoms-and-whats-difference-12654273 | 2022-07-18T11:17:58Z | https://news.sky.com/story/heat-exhaustion-and-heatstroke-what-are-the-signs-and-symptoms-and-whats-difference-12654273 | false |
Young people cut back on video streaming services
- Published
More households in Britain are cancelling video streaming subscriptions due to the rising cost of living, new research suggests.
A total of 1.66 million services were canned in the second quarter of 2022, market research firm Kantar said.
Under-24s were the most likely age group to cancel, the data showed.
More than a third of cancellations were attributed to cutting costs, with people budgeting for higher prices and energy bills.
About 58% of homes in England, Scotland and Wales now have at least one paid streaming service, it said.
It comes after 1.51 million services were cancelled in the first three months of 2022, according to Kantar data.
Younger audiences are turning back to free services such as Tik Tok, BBC iPlayer, Channel 4's All 4 and ITV Hub.
Meanwhile, Netflix teamed up with Microsoft last week to offer a cheaper subscription plan to customers that will show adverts.
The streaming giant said its service will be an "addition" to its existing plans, which do not include adverts but has not yet revealed how much it plans to charge subscribers for the new service.
Netflix announced the move after it reported its first subscriber loss in more than a decade and cut hundreds of jobs earlier this year. Netflix said it expected to have lost two million subscribers in the three months from April to June.
Amazon Prime showed the largest share of new subscriptions, attracting 37.9 per cent which Kantar said was due to its free trial period and free delivery option.
Kantar also said people surveyed had said they were more satisfied with Disney+ than Netflix because of the quality of its shows.

VANCOUVER, BC, July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. (TSX: ASM) (NYSE American: ASM) (FSE: GV6) ("Avino" or "the Company") is pleased to report its second quarter 2022 production results from the Avino Mine property near Durango, Mexico.
"The second quarter was strong operationally, and better-than-expected results were driven by higher grades from the Avino Mine." said David Wolfin, President and CEO of Avino. "With an unsettled market and ongoing global inflationary concerns, our positive Q2 performance is a testament to our operations and corporate teams in Mexico and Canada. We have been optimizing underground mining processes, growing and training a local workforce, and practicing sound financial responsibility. We believe that we have strong production growth coming over the next 5 years which should coincide with a strong demand for silver and other precious metals. Despite the current downturn in metal prices, our concentrate continues to be sold at profitable levels."
- Silver equivalent production increased 42% to 649,569 oz*
- Silver production increased by 37% to 225,537 oz
- Copper production increased by 35% to 1.6 million lbs
- Gold production increased by 69% to 1,350 oz
- Mill throughput increased by 6% to 118,224 tonnes
Avino Mine Production – Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 (compared to Q1 2022 & H2 20211)
- Continued Drill Campaign on the Oxide Tailings Project: On April 7, 2022, and May 24, 2022, Avino announced results from a combined 127 holes that continue to highlight the potential to expand resources. With the upcoming metallurgical testwork, Avino is moving towards its goal of advancing this project to the next phase of development.
- Announced ET Area Drilling Results: On June 13, 2022, Avino announced drill results from the Avino Elena Tolosa ("ET") area below the current Level 17 mining area. These drill results confirmed the downdip continuity of widths and grades of the Avino vein extending significant potential to a depth of at least 290 metres down dip below current development. Avino is advancing geological modelling to determine the potential geometry and controls of the mineralization. A second drill has been added to this program to include a further 13 drill holes for 7,000 metres.
- Announced Divesting of Non-Core Assets: On May 2, 2022, Avino announced that in line with its strategic plans to become an intermediate producer in Mexico, the Company granted an option to Endurance Gold Corp. the right to acquire an option to earn 100% ownership of the former Minto Gold Mine, Olympic and Kelvin gold prospects.
At the end of Q2, 2022, a total of 7,694 metres had been drilled. Avino released updates on drilling from a number of different areas of the Avino property, including Oxide Tailings Project & a summary of all other 2021 drilling.
These releases are linked here:
- Oxide Tailings – April 7, 2022 and May 24, 2022
- Avino ET Area – June 13, 2022
The completion of conversion to dry stack tailings is currently only weeks away, with final details wrapping up. We chose dry stack tailings for its environmental, safety and economic advantages with the high solids content. This significantly improves safety and stability and reduces the need to extract water from local sources by recycling the water removed from tailings. In addition, it requires less land which in turn results in a smaller environmental footprint. A time lapse video showing the progress of the construction of dry stack facility is on our website at the following link, and photos can be viewed at this link.
The Company is currently conducting community engagement in the nearby towns adjacent to the property and will provide further updates as plans develop. Avino is fully committed to moving this project forward as part of the Company's organic growth strategy.
Mill assays are performed at the Avino property's on-site lab. Check samples are sent to SGS Labs in Durango, Mexico for verification. Gold and silver assays are performed by the fire assay method with a gravimetric finish for concentrates and AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectrometry) methods for copper, lead, zinc and silver for the feed and tail grade samples. All concentrate shipments are assayed by one of the following independent third-party labs: Inspectorate in the UK, and LSI in the Netherlands and AHK.
Peter Latta, P.Eng, MBA, VP Technical Services, Avino who is a qualified person within the context of National Instrument 43-101 has reviewed and approved the technical data in this news release.
Avino is primarily a silver producer from its wholly owned Avino Mine near Durango, Mexico. The Company's silver, gold and copper production remains unhedged. The Company's mission and strategy is to create shareholder value through its focus on profitable organic growth at the historic Avino Property and the strategic acquisition of mineral exploration and mining properties. We are committed to managing all business activities in a safe, environmentally responsible, and cost-effective manner, while contributing to the well-being of the communities in which we operate.

Pascal Bornet is an award-winning expert in AI and automation, Chief Evangelist at Aera Technology, best-selling author, and keynote speaker
Decision intelligence (DI) is a new field aimed at transforming and improving the way business decisions are made. It uses technology to support, augment or automate business decisions. In addition, it continually optimizes decisions by learning from their business impacts.
DI combines technologies such as machine learning, optimization, analytics and process automation. It helps with business decisions by leveraging three modes: decision support, where the machine provides analytics and other tools to assist human decision-making; decision augmentation, where the machine suggests decisions for a human to review and accept; and decision automation, where the whole process is automated and the machine executes its decisions autonomously, under human supervision.
Success Factors In Implementing Decision Intelligence
Implementing DI provides significant business impacts to organizations. However, to ensure the success of the transformation, it is important to implement DI in a strategic and planned way. Here are some practical, actionable steps distilled from my experience leading business transformations at various organizations.
• Document, refine or redefine your business goals (this is a prerequisite).
• List the key decisions in your company (existing ones or new ones) that serve these goals. Decisions should be described as questions (e.g., “How many of product A should I buy weekly?”).
• Qualify the decisions by calculating the yearly cumulated business impact of each decision, its complexity and the frequency of the decision.
• Categorize the decisions into three groups—supported, augmented or automated—using a matrix that considers their frequency along one axis and complexity along the other. The simplest and highest-frequency decisions should be automated, and the most complex and lowest-frequency ones should be supported. We can break decisions down into three main categories depending on their complexity and frequency. This enables us to identify which ones should be supported, augmented or automated:
1. Forward-looking decisions. These are high-complexity and low-frequency decisions, usually consisting of strategy plans and allocation of resources. Examples: Decisions to design a new strategy or optimize the supply chain network. Decision support is most appropriate for these.
2. Adaptive decisions. These are made at a medium-to-high frequency with a medium-to-high level of complexity. Examples: Decisions to adjust safety stock levels or to source materials from a different supplier. Decision augmentation is most appropriate for these.
3. Responsive decisions. These are made at a high frequency with a low-to-medium level of complexity. Examples: Decisions to fulfill orders, expedite a delayed shipment or rebalance inventories between locations. Decision automation is most appropriate for these.
• Define how to measure the success of each decision.
• Select the appropriate platform to support your DI applications. As described in my previous Forbes article, DI platforms need to combine the three decision modes into one in order to create synergies. They include a system of engagement to build trust with users, and they continuously learn from the business outcomes of the decisions in order to continuously improve them.
• Build your implementation road map, starting with the decisions with the highest yearly cumulated impact, which can be automated.
• Implement the DI project using a phased approach. Decisions involving the same datasets should be implemented at the same time to optimize the use of resources.
• Build the proper organization and governance: a center of excellence (in charge of deploying DI) and an automation operation center (to maintain the DI system).
• Review and clarify roles. Clarify the role of IT, the CDO (chief digital officer) and the business. Analysts should become decision-expert analysts. Instead of being responsible for all the decisions of a business/entity, they specialize in a specific type of decision across all businesses/entities. For example, with minimal investment, the finance department of a large multinational conglomerate redeployed its business-generalist analysts as decision-expert analysts. The initiative generated over 10 million euro in additional value because of improved decision-making in the business. This new organizational structure created a virtuous cycle in that the demand for decision analytics increased as business partners recommended decision expert analysts to other business leaders.
Other Critical Success Factors
Here are some final practical tips to help make your DI transformation a success.
• Don’t start designing a decision by looking at the data that is available. Start with the business outcome that you expect from that decision. And from there, reverse-engineer by understanding which decisions need to be made, how to build them and finally what data is required.
• Start by implementing DI in the business functions where business-critical decision-making needs to be improved—requiring more data-driven support or AI-powered augmentation—or where decisions can be scaled and accelerated through automation. Alternatively, investigate where the biggest issues with current decision-making reside.
• Decisions need to be supported before they can be augmented and augmented before they can be automated. Following this logical path helps ensure that decision systems are well designed, documented and controlled by people. This also ensures that people can still manually take control of automated decisions in case of an unexpected event such as Covid 19.
• Develop new decision-making habits by teaching decision-makers to apply systematic best practices, such as critical thinking, trade-off analysis, recognizing bias and listening to opposing views.
• Provide the authority to make decisions to the people closest to the point of impact of that decision. This will improve the incentive and ownership for enhancing the impact of the decisions.
Finally, like all digital transformations, a DI transformation can’t be successful without bringing the people dimension into its center. Information, change management, education, empowerment and incentivization are vital. And you, have you already started your DI transformation?

Damning report, new footage shows chaos of Uvalde response
UVALDE, Texas (AP) — A damning report and hours of body camera footage further laid bare the chaotic response to a mass shooting at a Uvalde elementary school, where hundreds of law enforcement officers massed but then waited to confront a gunman even after a child’s 911 call from inside the building.
The findings of an investigative committee released Sunday were the first to criticize both state and federal law enforcement, and not just local authorities in the South Texas city for the bewildering inaction by heavily armed officers as a gunman fired inside two fourth-grade classrooms at Robb Elementary School, killing 19 students and two teachers.
Footage from city police officers’ body cameras made public hours later only further emphasized the failures — and fueled the anger and frustration of relatives of the victims.
“It’s disgusting. Disgusting,” said Michael Brown, whose 9-year-old son was in the school’s cafeteria on the day of the shooting and survived. “They’re cowards.”
Nearly 400 law enforcement officials rushed to the school, but “egregiously poor decision making” resulted in more than an hour of chaos before the gunman was finally confronted and killed, according to the report written by an investigative committee from the Texas House of Representatives.
Together, the report and more than three hours of newly released body camera footage from the May 24 tragedy amounted to the fullest account to date of one of the worst school shootings in U.S. history.
“At Robb Elementary, law enforcement responders failed to adhere to their active shooter training, and they failed to prioritize saving innocent lives over their own safety,” the report said.
WARNING: Videos contain graphic material and may be disturbing to some viewers.
The gunman fired approximately 142 rounds inside the building — and it is “almost certain” that at least 100 shots came before any officer entered, according to the report, which laid out numerous failures. Among them:
— No one assumed command despite scores of officers being on the scene.
— The commander of a Border Patrol tactical team waited for a bulletproof shield and working master key for the classroom, which may have not even been needed, before entering the classroom.
— A Uvalde Police Department officer said he heard about 911 calls that had come from inside the classroom, and that his understanding was the officers on one side of the building knew there were victims trapped inside. Still, no one tried to breach the classroom.
The committee didn’t “receive medical evidence” to show that police storming the classroom sooner would have saved lives, but it concluded that “it is plausible that some victims could have survived if they had not had to wait 73 additional minutes for rescue.”
The findings had at least one immediate effect: Lt. Mariano Pargas, a Uvalde Police Department officer who was the city’s acting police chief during the massacre, was placed on administrative leave.
Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin said an investigation would be launched to determine whether Pargas should have taken command of the scene. He also disclosed for the first time that some officers had left the force since the shooting but did not provide an exact number, saying it was as many as three.
Hours after the report was released, Uvalde officials separately made public for the first time hours of body camera footage from the city’s police officers who responded to the attack. It included video of several officers reacting to word from a dispatcher, roughly 30 minutes after the shooting began, that a child in the room had called 911.
“The room is full of victims. Child 911 call,” an officer said.
Other body camera video from Uvalde Staff Sgt. Eduardo Canales, the head of the city’s SWAT team, showed the officer approaching the classrooms when gunfire rang out at 11:37 a.m.
A minute later, Canales said: “Dude, we’ve got to get in there. We’ve got to get in there, he just keeps shooting. We’ve got to get in there.” Another officer could be heard saying “DPS is sending their people.”
It was 72 minutes later, at 12:50 p.m., when officers finally breached the classrooms and kill the shooter.
Calls for police accountability have grown in Uvalde since the shooting.
“It’s a joke. They’re a joke. They’ve got no business wearing a badge. None of them do,” Vincent Salazar, grandfather of 11-year-old Layla Salazar, who was among those killed, said Sunday.
Anger flashed in Uvalde even over how the report was rolled out: Tina Quintanilla-Taylor, whose daughter survived the shooting, shouted at the three-member Texas House committee as they left a news conference after the findings were released.
Committee members had invited families of the victims to discuss the report privately, but Quintanilla-Taylor said the committee should have taken questions from the community, not just the media.
“I’m pissed. They need to come back and give us their undivided attention,” she said later. “These leaders are not leaders,” she said.
According to the report, 376 law enforcement officers massed at the school. The overwhelming majority of those who responded were federal and state law enforcement. That included nearly 150 U.S. Border Patrol agents and 91 state police officials.
“Other than the attacker, the Committee did not find any ‘villains’ in the course of its investigation,” the report said. “There is no one to whom we can attribute malice or ill motives. Instead, we found systemic failures and egregiously poor decision making.”
The report noted that many of the hundreds of law enforcement responders who rushed to the school were better trained and equipped than the school district police — which the head of the Texas Department of Public Safety, the state police force, previously faulted for not going into the room sooner.
Investigators said it was not their job to determine whether officers should be held accountable, saying that decisions rested with each law enforcement agency. Prior to Sunday, only one of the hundreds of officers on the scene — Pete Arredondo, the Uvalde school district police chief — was known to have been on leave.
“Everyone who came on the scene talked about this being chaotic,” said Texas state Rep. Dustin Burrows, a Republican who led the investigation.
Officials with the Texas Department of Public Safety and U.S. Border Patrol did not immediately return requests for comment Sunday.
The report followed weeks of closed-door interviews with more than 40 people, including witnesses and law enforcement who were on the scene of the shooting.
No single officer has received as much scrutiny since the shooting as Arredondo, who also resigned from his newly appointed seat on the City Council after the shooting. Arredondo told the committee he treated the shooter as a “barricaded subject,” according to the report, and defended never treating the scene as an active-shooter situation because he did not have visual contact with the gunman.
Arredondo also tried to find a key for the classrooms, but no one ever checked to see if the doors were locked, according to the report.
The report criticized as “lackadaisical” the approach of the hundreds of officers who surrounded the school and said that they should have recognized that Arredondo remaining in the school without reliable communication was “inconsistent” with him being the scene commander. The report concluded that some officers waited because they relied on bad information while others “had enough information to know better.”
The report was the result of one of several investigations into the shooting, including one led by the Justice Department.
Brown, the father of the 9-year-old who was in the cafeteria the day of the shooting, came to the committee’s news conference Sunday carrying signs saying, “We Want Accountability” and “Prosecute Pete Arredondo.”
Brown said he has not yet read the report but already knew enough to say that police “have blood on their hands.”

- Unified data management platform provides unique small molecule drug discovery workflows to reduce increasing R&D costs
- Focused capabilities and templates provide a workspace supporting the entire make-test-decide innovation cycle, from hit discovery to lead optimization research
BOSTON, July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Dotmatics, a leader in R&D scientific software connecting science, data, and decision-making, today announced the release of its Small Molecule Drug Discovery Solution, an integrated scientific R&D platform with pre-configured workflows and expanded data management capabilities. The solution helps companies innovate more easily by leveraging best practices derived from the company's 15+ years of experience supporting small molecule drug discovery.
"While small molecule science is making incredible progress, the cost of the drug discoveries is higher than ever, burdened by complex workflows and fragmented data and analysis solutions," said Mike McKee, president of Dotmatics. "We want to drastically improve this process by developing an integrated platform that features a great breadth of tools—including GraphPad Prism, SnapGene, and our Dotmatics' flow cytometry solutions—that are trusted by the world's leading scientific organizations."
The Small Molecule Drug Discovery Solution promotes greater collaboration and productivity among research teams, reduces operational inefficiencies, and speeds the process of taking data from insights to decisions. These benefits accelerate progress towards life-improving drug therapies for patients. In May, Dotmatics introduced its Biology Solution for Antibody Discovery, which combines Dotmatics' enterprise scientific platform with advanced applications software used routinely in antibody discovery laboratories. Together, these solutions comprise the most comprehensive set of offerings for both chemistry and biology on the market.
In the United States alone, the Congressional Budget Office reported in 2021 that the annual spend on pharmaceutical research and development was $83 billion—more than 10 times the annual spending in the 1980s even when adjusted for inflation. Meanwhile, productivity in the research labs has decreased, as workflows have become more complex and data sets much larger and more fragmented.
Data in small molecule drug discovery is commonly siloed in proprietary systems forcing scientists to choose between compromising speed or accuracy. The lack of extractable, composable data and disconnected workflows force researchers into manual data handling, which introduces risks of data errors, inefficiencies, and revision burden.
The new Dotmatics Small Molecule Drug Discovery Solution supports researchers by addressing these issues, giving them focused capabilities and templates that provide a unified workspace supporting the entire workflow from hit discovery to lead optimization research, including design, synthesis, sample logistics, QC analysis, screening, and SAR analysis. Meanwhile guided visualizations and preconfigured cheminformatics analytics capabilities enable medicinal chemists to make better informed decisions, faster.
As a CRO with over 100 facilities in more than 20 countries, Charles River Laboratories knows that streamlining processes and integrating applications can have a huge impact on their drug discovery and development efforts. In recent years, the company has looked toward developing "the lab of the future." They have strategically migrated toward cloud- and SaaS- based offerings, including Dotmatics solutions in its Discovery business unit for database searching, compound registration, and workflow creation. Most recently, the Early Discovery business unit deployed the Dotmatics ELN for biology, chemistry, and DMPK to around 500 researchers in the UK and the Netherlands.
"Dotmatics solutions not only help optimize our in-house processes, but they also help us better serve our clients, which we know ultimately benefits patients," said Riannon Hambleton, Director Business Technology Partnership for Discovery for Charles River Laboratories. "We're really looking forward to working with Dotmatics again to help further our move toward the lab of the future."
And since Dotmatics can support a beginning-to-end workflow, customers can optimize their informatics ecosystem by replacing obsolete applications and filling capability gaps. This not only reduces technical debt but also reduces the total cost of ownership associated with working with multiple vendors and the licensing, services, and training that go along with it.
Lab managers can now rely on a secure, cloud-based data management platform that simplifies laboratory data governance together with proven scientific applications and productivity tools that their researchers trust. The solution automates manual, error-prone data analysis tasks and centralizes data management, helping organizations make smarter decisions and ultimately accelerating the discovery of critical drugs and therapies.
The Dotmatics Small Molecule Drug Discovery Solution incorporates FAIR data practices and provides a uniquely broad and deep solution from hit discovery through lead optimization to progress into animal trials and translational medicine.

Damning report, new footage shows chaos of Uvalde response
UVALDE, Texas (AP) — A damning report and hours of body camera footage further laid bare the chaotic response to a mass shooting at a Uvalde elementary school, where hundreds of law enforcement officers massed but then waited to confront a gunman even after a child’s 911 call from inside the building.
The findings of an investigative committee released Sunday were the first to criticize both state and federal law enforcement, and not just local authorities in the South Texas city for the bewildering inaction by heavily armed officers as a gunman fired inside two fourth-grade classrooms at Robb Elementary School, killing 19 students and two teachers.
Footage from city police officers’ body cameras made public hours later only further emphasized the failures — and fueled the anger and frustration of relatives of the victims.
“It’s disgusting. Disgusting,” said Michael Brown, whose 9-year-old son was in the school’s cafeteria on the day of the shooting and survived. “They’re cowards.”
Nearly 400 law enforcement officials rushed to the school, but “egregiously poor decision making” resulted in more than an hour of chaos before the gunman was finally confronted and killed, according to the report written by an investigative committee from the Texas House of Representatives.
Together, the report and more than three hours of newly released body camera footage from the May 24 tragedy amounted to the fullest account to date of one of the worst school shootings in U.S. history.
“At Robb Elementary, law enforcement responders failed to adhere to their active shooter training, and they failed to prioritize saving innocent lives over their own safety,” the report said.
WARNING: Videos contain graphic material and may be disturbing to some viewers.
The gunman fired approximately 142 rounds inside the building — and it is “almost certain” that at least 100 shots came before any officer entered, according to the report, which laid out numerous failures. Among them:
— No one assumed command despite scores of officers being on the scene.
— The commander of a Border Patrol tactical team waited for a bulletproof shield and working master key for the classroom, which may have not even been needed, before entering the classroom.
— A Uvalde Police Department officer said he heard about 911 calls that had come from inside the classroom, and that his understanding was the officers on one side of the building knew there were victims trapped inside. Still, no one tried to breach the classroom.
The committee didn’t “receive medical evidence” to show that police storming the classroom sooner would have saved lives, but it concluded that “it is plausible that some victims could have survived if they had not had to wait 73 additional minutes for rescue.”

TSX: FF
OTCQX: FFMGF
FRANKFURT: FMG
VANCOUVER, BC, July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - First Mining Gold Corp. ("First Mining" or the "Company") (TSX: FF) (OTCQX: FFMGF) (FRANKFURT: FMG) is pleased to announce that it has made an offer to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Beattie Gold Mines Ltd. ("Beattie Gold"), a private company that owns the mineral rights to mining claims that make up the former Beattie mining concession which forms a large part of the Duparquet Gold Project (the "Duparquet Gold Project") located in Quebec, Canada (the "Beattie Offer"). First Mining, directly and through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Clifton Star Resources Inc. ("Clifton Star), already owns approximately 25.3% of the issued and outstanding shares of Beattie Gold. The total consideration of the Beattie Offer is $4.43641 cash per Beattie Gold share and 35 First Mining Shares per Beattie Gold share for a total cash consideration of $6,227,176 and the issuance of 49,127,820 First Mining common shares. First Mining has received signed, irrevocable lock-up agreements from Beattie Gold shareholders holding, in aggregate, 1,358,652 Beattie Gold shares, representing 72.3% of the outstanding common shares of Beattie Gold. Upon acquiring the Beattie Gold shares committed under the lock-up agreements, First Mining, directly and through Clifton Star, will own 97.6% of the outstanding common shares of Beattie Gold.
The Duparquet Gold Project consists of several properties held in different entities which, in addition to the Beattie property, include the Donchester, Dumico and Central Duparquet properties. First Mining, through Clifton Star, is currently a 10% shareholder of 2588111 Manitoba Ltd ("258 Manitoba"), a private company that owns the mineral rights to mining claims that make up the former Donchester mining concession and Dumico property that also form a part of the Duparquet Gold Project, and a 10% shareholder of 2699681 Canada Ltd ("269 Canada"), a private company that owns in whole or in part, the surface rights to the Beattie, Donchester and Dumico properties. First Mining already owns 100% of the Central Duparquet property.
Concurrent with making the Beattie Offer, First Mining has entered into share purchase agreements to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of 258 Manitoba (the "258 Manitoba Transaction") and 269 Canada (the "269 Canada Transaction", and together with the 258 Transaction, the "Concurrent Transactions") that are not already owned by Clifton Star. The Concurrent Transactions are conditional on the Beattie Offer, and will close on the same day as the Beattie Offer, which is expected to be in mid-September.
The total consideration of the Concurrent Transactions is $2.5 million in cash and the issuance of 20,000,000 common shares of First Mining. In aggregate, the total consideration of the Beattie Offer and the Concurrent Transactions (assuming that all shareholders of Beattie Gold tender their shares to the Beattie Offer) is $8,727,177 in cash and 69,127,820 common shares of First Mining. The total transaction value based on the twenty trading days volume weighted average price for First Mining's common shares as of the last trading day prior to this news release is approximately $24 million.
"This transformational acquisition has been a few years in the making and grows First Mining's M&I gold resources by 40% and inferred gold resources by 50%" said Keith Neumeyer, Chairman of First Mining Gold. "When First Mining acquired Clifton Star in 2016, we always contemplated the opportunity to consolidate this advanced stage, highly prospective project. Duparquet fits perfectly with First Mining's strategy and the capabilities of our team to advance and de-risk a second world class asset."
"This is a transformational acquisition for First Mining and the Duparquet Gold Project as we plan on consolidating this highly fragmented ownership structure under the First Mining banner. Duparquet hosts a robust resource profile where two past producing mines have operated in Quebec's most prolific gold mining district. First Mining has been a long-time minority shareholder of the companies that own this Project, and the timing was right to acquire full ownership of these companies. We are confident that Duparquet and the district will prove to be a critical strategic asset in the gold sector in Canada as this transaction affirms First Mining's positioning as a multi-asset developer of major projects in Tier 1 jurisdictions," stated Dan Wilton, CEO of First Mining. "Together with our ownership of the Pitt and Duquesne projects in Quebec located just east of Duparquet, First Mining will now have 100% ownership exposure to 3.3 million M&I ounces of gold and 2.0 million inferred ounces of gold located in the Abitibi, which is home to some of the largest and richest mineral deposits in the world. First Mining has completed extensive due diligence and will develop a comprehensive plan to advance the Duparquet Gold Project in the near-term. Springpole remains a core focus and priority as we continue to advance the project through feasibility and the environmental assessment process. The addition of Duparquet results in First Mining owning 100% of two projects with multi-million ounce gold resources in what we consider as the best mining jurisdictions in the world and will allow First Mining to leverage our team's experience with similar projects in advancing these two major gold deposits."
- Consolidates one of the largest advanced-stage, undeveloped gold projects in Canada – including the Duquesne and Pitt deposits, to create a multi-million ounce gold resource district (1, 2, 3)
- Transforms First Mining into a leading Tier I gold development company with ownership in two prolific Tier 1 multi-million ounce gold assets located in some of the best mining jurisdictions in the world in Quebec and Ontario
- NI 43-101 resource estimate of the Duparquet Gold Project (InnovExplo, 2014) 3.1 Moz M&I at 1.59 g/t Au and 1.4 Moz Inferred at 1.51 g/t Au meaningfully enhances total resource profile of First Mining

In connection with the Beattie Offer, First Mining has entered into binding lock-up agreements with certain shareholders ("Support Shareholders") of Beattie Gold who have agreed to support the Beattie Offer and to irrevocably tender all of their common shares of Beattie Gold to the Beattie Offer. The Support Shareholders collectively hold 1,358,652 Beattie Gold shares representing approximately 72.3% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Beattie Gold.
First Mining intends to make an offer to all registered holders of common shares of Beattie Gold in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws. The Beattie Offer will be subject to the following conditions: (i) there being deposited under the Beattie Offer, and not withdrawn, at least 464,643 of the outstanding common shares of Beattie Gold (the "Take-Up Condition"), which, when combined with the common shares of Beattie Gold already held by First Mining (both directly and through Clifton Star), would represent ownership of Beattie Gold of 50.1%; and (ii) completion of the 269 Canada Transaction..
First Mining has entered into binding share purchase agreements in respect of the 258 Manitoba Transaction and the 269 Canada Transaction, which are both subject to the Take-Up Condition and are expected to close concurrently with the closing of the Beattie Offer. All of the transactions are expected to close in mid-September 2022.
First Mining has concluded substantial due diligence on the Duparquet Gold Project to date, including understanding the existing mineral resource estimate and exploration potential at the Duparquet Gold Project and in the district. First Mining intends to complete an updated mineral resource estimate in accordance with NI 43-101 shortly after closing the Beattie Offer and Concurrent Transactions which will incorporate additional drilling from 2014 to 2020 not included in the previous mineral resource estimate.
First Mining will commence an environmental data collection exercise to update the environmental baseline data collected by Clifton Star in 2012 and 2013. Work is also expected to commence on engineering trade-off studies and an updated economic study to build on the solid technical foundation established by the Project in the 2014 Pre-Feasibility Study. First Mining has initiated discussions with the relevant Quebec ministries and is committed to working in partnership with regulators, the local municipality, and Indigenous communities to address environmental matters and legacy infrastructure as part of the property's redevelopment. In addition, First Mining intends to commence a robust regional exploration data compilation, integration and targeting exercise to develop a path supporting potential resource expansion, resource classification upgrading, and exploration discovery.
The Duparquet Gold Project is located immediately north of the town of Duparquet, Quebec and covers an area of 1,079 hectares, and consists of 50 mining claims, including two historical mining concessions, which include the four mining properties: the Beattie property (historical mining concession 292) owned by Beattie, the Donchester property (historical mining concession 384) and Dumico property owned by 2588111 Manitoba Ltd., and the Central Duparquet property owned by First Mining. Both the Beattie and Donchester properties contain past-producing underground gold mines. Historical underground workings and a shaft were developed at the Central Duparquet property, but no gold was produced. The Duparquet Gold Project also contains a tailings pond area straddling the southwest limit of the Beattie property.
Gold was first discovered in the Duparquet region in 1910 with production commencing in 1933 on the Beattie property and on the Donchester property in the 1940s. Mining and milling operations ceased at Duparquet in 1956 after 23 years of continuous production. During its lifetime, the Beattie mill at Duparquet produced over 1.3 million ounces of gold at grades higher than 4 g/t. The Duparquet Gold Project remained mostly dormant until 1987 when increased exploration and drilling activity resumed. Clifton Star began work on the Duparquet Gold Project in 2008 and between 2008 and 2013, Clifton Star and its partners completed in excess of 260,000 m of drilling that were incorporated into the mineral resource estimate and completed a positive Pre-Feasibility Study in 2014, which detailed a development plan including a 10,000 tpd open pit mine and mill. Clifton Star was acquired by First Mining in April 2016.
This mineral resource estimate was prepared for Clifton Star Resources Inc. by InnovExplo Inc titled "Technical Report and Prefeasibility Study for the Duparquet Project" effective March 26, 2014. The NI 43-101 technical report detailing the mineral resource estimate for the Duparquet Gold Project is filed on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) and available on First Mining Gold's website.

Like coming home again! Bruce Willis celebrated the 34th anniversary of his iconic action blockbuster Die Hard, by paying a visit to the famous rooftop of the towering Nakatomi Plaza.
On Friday, Willis' wife, Emma Heming, shared a video montage featuring scenes from the beloved action film, intercut with a clip of the star standing on the rooftop, looking out over the horizon.
"On top of Nakatomi Plaza 34 years later," Heming wrote, referring, of course, to Fox Plaza in Los Angeles, where Die Hard was filmed.
The sweet, nostalgic footage was, of course, set to Ode to Joy, one of the film's most memorable musical scores.
Die Hard debuted July 15, 1988, and was a surprise hit, grossing $140 million and cementing Willis as a bankable leading man and action hero.
The sweet post comes several months after Willis's family released a statement announcing he would be stepping back from the spotlight. In March, Heming, along with Willis’ ex-wife, Demi Moore, and the actor's five daughters, shared a joint family statement announcing that the 67-year-old actor is taking time for himself, due to his aphasia diagnosis, which is impacting his cognitive abilities.
"This is a really challenging time for our family and we are so appreciative of your continued love, compassion and support. We are moving through this as a strong family unit, and wanted to bring his fans in because we know how much he means to you, as you do to him."
The women concluded the post writing, "As Bruce always says, 'Live it up' and together we plan to do just that."

JENA, Germany and WINSTON SALEM, N.C., July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Carl Zeiss Meditec and Precise Bio, a regenerative medicine company advancing the use of bio-printed tissues and organs, announced today that the companies have entered into a partnership to develop and commercialize fabricated corneal tissue for transplants in patients that require endothelial keratoplasty and natural lenticule transplants for treating keratoconus and vision correction.
Under the terms of the agreement, Carl Zeiss Meditec will invest in Precise Bio and fund the further development of Precise Bio's two cornea transplant products and has exclusive worldwide commercialization rights for these products. Financial terms were not disclosed.
"This investment in Precise Bio is expected to complement our leading portfolio of cataract and corneal refractive workflow solutions," said Euan S. Thomson, PhD, President of Ophthalmic Devices and Head of the Digital Business Unit for Carl Zeiss Meditec. "The technology has the potential to advance treatment options for corneal disease, as well as for elective procedures – furthering enabling optimization of patient care."
"We are very excited with this partnership that builds on our successful, ongoing collaboration with ZEISS for the development of corneal tissues to address unmet needs in the field of ophthalmology," stated Aryeh Batt, Co- Founder and CEO of Precise Bio. "This strategic agreement leverages ZEISS' global leadership in ophthalmology and Precise' innovative and unique 4D bio-fabrication platform technology. We are confident that the synergy between the two companies will allow us to develop breakthrough solutions for recovering patients' eyesight, bringing hope to hundreds of millions of patients worldwide."

LONDON (AP) — Britain’s first-ever extreme heat warning is in effect for large parts of England as hot, dry weather that has scorched mainland Europe for the past week moves north, disrupting travel, health care and schools.
The “red” alert will last throughout Monday and Tuesday when temperatures may reach 40 C (104 F) for the first time, posing a risk of serious illness and even death among healthy people, according to the U.K. Met Office, the country’s weather service. The highest temperature ever recorded in Britain is 38.7 C (101.7 F), a record set in 2019.
While Monday is likely to bring record highs to southeastern England, temperatures are expected to rise further as the warm air moves north on Tuesday, Met Office CEO Penelope Endersby said. The extreme heat warning stretches from London in the south to Manchester and Leeds in the north.
“So it’s tomorrow that we’re really seeing the higher chance of 40 degrees and temperatures above that,’’ Endersby told the BBC. “Forty-one isn’t off the cards. We’ve even got some 43s in the model, but we’re hoping it won’t be as high as that.”
Hot weather has gripped southern Europe since last week, triggering wildfires in Spain, Portugal and France. Almost 600 heat-related deaths have been reported in Spain and Portugal, where temperatures reached 47 C (117 F) last week.
Climate experts warn that global warming has increased the frequency of extreme weather events, with studies showing that the likelihood of temperatures in the U.K. reaching 40C is now 10 times higher than in the pre-industrial era. Drought and heat waves tied to climate change have also made wildfires harder to fight.
Officials in southern France’s Gironde region announced plans to evacuate an additional 3,500 people from towns threatened by the raging flames. More than 1,500 firefighters and water-bombing planes are trying to douse the flames in the region’s tinder-dry pine forests.
In Britain, train operators are asking customers not to travel unless absolutely necessary because the heat is likely to warp rails and disrupt power supplies, leading to severe delays. Some medical appointments have been canceled to relieve strain on the health service. While some schools have closed, others are setting up wading pools and water sprays to help children cool off.
Britain is unaccustomed to the temperatures forecast this week, and few homes, schools or small businesses have air conditioning. Across the U.K., average July temperatures range from a daily high of 21 C (70 F) to a low of 12 C (53 F).
Nightfall will bring little relief from the heat, with the Met Office forecasting temperatures of 29 C (84 F) at midnight in London.
Monday night will be “very oppressive” and it will be difficult to sleep, Chief Meteorologist Paul Davies said.
“Tomorrow is the day where we are really concerned about a good chance now of hitting 40 or 41C, and with that all the health conditions that come with those higher temperatures,” he said.

The investigational drug 'evinacumab' reduces low-density lipoprotein (LDL) 'bad' cholesterol by 50 percent in patients with severe hypercholesterolemia, researchers said.
Hypercholesterolemia, also called high cholesterol, is the presence of high levels of cholesterol in the blood, the study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, reported.
Follow NewsGram on Twitter to stay updated about the World news.
According to the researchers, evinacumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody that works through a different mechanism than existing drugs to bring dangerously high cholesterol to normal levels.
"Our study assessing the safety and efficacy of evinacumab shows that it can lower LDL cholesterol by half in patients unable to attain target guidelines despite maximally tolerated lipid-lowering therapy," said study author Robert Rosenson from Mount Sinai Hospital in the US.
Follow NewsGram on Instagram to keep yourself updated.
Evinacumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody that inhibits angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPLT3) and lowers LDL cholesterol through an LDL receptor-independent pathway.
Genetic studies have shown that people who are missing or have low levels of ANGPTL3 are known to have very low lifelong levels of LDL cholesterol and rarely suffer from atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

Phase two, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study of evinacumab included 272 patients with primary high cholesterol including a majority having a diagnosis of heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH).
HeFH is an inherited form of hypercholesterolemia most often caused by mutations in the LDL receptor gene.

The research team found that subcutaneous administration of the agent at 450 mg weekly resulted in LDL cholesterol lowering of 56 percent, and 52.9 percent at 300 mg weekly compared to the placebo group.
With monthly intravenous administration of evinacumab at 15 mg/kg, LDL cholesterol reduction was 50.5 percent compared to the placebo group.
"Our study demonstrates that a regimen of either subcutaneous or intravenous evinacumab can have a significant impact on LDL cholesterol," said Rosenson.
"If approved for use in this setting, evinacumab could potentially arm cardiologists with a major new add-on therapy to bring patients with HeFH to or closer to their cholesterol-lowering goal," Rosenson noted.

LOS ANGELES — James Harden is vowing a return to his high-scoring form after battling a lingering hamstring injury that created rare doubt for the three-time NBA scoring champion over the last two seasons.
James Harden health status
He expects similar big things from the Philadelphia 76ers after taking less salary in his contract this season to help the team improve and chase the championship he still seeks.
Harden injured the hamstring playing for the Brooklyn Nets in the 2020-21 season. The first serious injury of his 13-year career was “a wake-up call” that had Harden thinking about life outside of basketball.
Finally healthy again, he’s spending the summer in his hometown of Los Angeles. Relaxing barefoot in a fully furnished, nine-bedroom, 14-bathroom rented mansion perched on a hillside above Beverly Hills with panoramic views stretching to downtown LA, Harden is eager to put the past behind.
“I’m looking to have an unbelievable season,” he said Sunday. “I don’t want to just go out there and be running around and not being efficient and looking old out there. I still want to be really, really, really good.”
Harden declined his $47.4 million player option with the 76ers for next season and instead agreed to a new two-year deal that will pay him $32 million in 2022-23. It includes a player option for the second season. The deal isn’t yet finalized and Harden didn’t address the negotiations.
However, the 10-time All-Star confirmed to The Associated Press that he made the decision to allow the 76ers the flexibility they needed to go after other players. If he hadn’t declined the option, the team would have been hard-pressed to bolster its roster led by NBA scoring champion Joel Embiid.
“Taking less money this year to sign as many players as we needed to help us contend and be the last team standing was very, very important to me,” Harden said. “I wanted to show the organization, the Sixers fans and everybody else who supports what we’re trying to accomplish, what I’m trying to accomplish individually, that this is what I’m about.”
The Sixers signed free agents P.J. Tucker and Danuel House. Harden previously played with both in Houston.
“We got some really good pieces this summer, so now it’s time for us to go do the hard work,” Harden said.
Harden averaged 22 points this season for Brooklyn and Philadelphia, lowest since he became a starter in the 2012-13 season. He turns 33 in August.
“For any other players, that’s a max contract,” he said of his lower numbers, “but it’s like, for me, I was not the same James Harden.”
He relied more on 3-pointers and free throws than driving to the basket. His usual speed was replaced by sluggishness and his mind was preoccupied with the injury.
“I wasn’t able to get in my spots and get to where I needed to get to without thinking about it, so that right there slowed my confidence down,” he said. “It was craziness, but I’m finally back. I’ll be a lot more aggressive scoring-wise just because my body allows me to.”
The 76ers lost to top-seeded Miami in the second round of the playoffs. Harden had four turnovers, four baskets and did not score in the second half in the decisive Game 6 loss. They haven’t advanced past the second round since 2001. Their last NBA championship came in 1983.
“Coming back and being the aggressor, the scorer first and then the playmaker, is something that I need for myself,” he said.
Sitting in front of an unlit fireplace with the mansion’s air conditioning on the fritz, Harden raps his knuckles on a wooden table.
“It feels like I had a perfect career,” he said. “I didn’t have any serious injuries, but that (hamstring) right there slowed me down to where all right, you got to start thinking about other things than basketball.”
Harden already owns restaurants, gyms and has a stake in a tequila company among his varied business interests. With a curiosity for just about everything, he got into wine a few years ago.
Harden spoke to the AP to discuss his upcoming J. Harden x J Shed wine collaboration that debuts in September. The label features bold colors and his likeness in sunglasses and his trademark beard. Prices range from $14 to $18 a bottle.
“We came to disrupt the wine business, that was our mindset,” he said. “I don’t feel like any other wine is doing that.”

NEW YORK, July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Howard Hughes Corporation® announced today that iconic fashion designer Alexander Wang has selected the Seaport in New York City for its new global headquarters and showroom, signing a 15-year lease for approximately 46,000 square feet of creative office space at the Fulton Market Building in Lower Manhattan. The fashion company will take over the entire top floor, including a 5,000-square-foot patio of the historic building overlooking the Seaport's cobblestone streets and offering views of the Brooklyn Bridge and East River.
"We are excited to have Alexander Wang open his new office and showroom at the Seaport," said Saul Scherl, President of the New York Tri-State Region, The Howard Hughes Corporation.

The Seaport's urban walkability and connection to the area's independent retailers, restaurants, art galleries and entertainment venues—along with access to Lower Manhattan's waterfront and its one-of-a-kind views—have established the district as a highly sought-after location for businesses looking to be a part of the dynamic downtown neighborhood.

The lease brings the Fulton Market Building to 100% leased and the Seaport as a neighborhood to 68% leased, with a combination of flexible commercial space remaining, including 88,000 square feet of office space remaining at Pier 17.
Alexander Wang was represented in the transaction by Sean Black from BLACKre. The Howard Hughes Corporation was represented by Mary Ann Tighe, Gerry Miovski, Brett Shannon, Zac Price and Marsha Dudelzak from CBRE.
Construction will begin later this year, with an anticipated move-in date of 2023.

BEIJING, July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Known as the "Western Regions" in ancient times, Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region is located on the famous "Silk Road" which connected ancient China with the rest of the world, making it a gathering point for different civilizations.
The Xinjiang Museum is an art palace that collects Xinjiang's historical and cultural artifacts and displays unique cultural features of the region. When visiting the museum on Wednesday, Chinese President Xi Jinping stressed that Chinese civilization is extensive and profound, has a long history stretching back to antiquity, and is composed of outstanding cultures of all its ethnic groups.
He added that we should make full and effective use of historical facts, archaeological objects, and cultural heritage on the exchanges between various ethnic groups in Xinjiang, to prove that this region, inhabited by many ethnic groups, has been an integral part of China since the ancient times, and that various ethnic groups in Xinjiang have been important members of the big Chinese family in weal and woe.
Opening the museum's door, we can start a cultural journey and appreciate the blossoms from different civilizations blooming in Xinjiang.
Xi Says:
We must promote integration among people from all ethnic groups in all areas such as culture, economy, society and psychology so that they will be closely united like the seeds of a pomegranate that stick together.
All the ethnic cultures in Xinjiang have their roots in the Chinese civilization.
Chinese civilization is extensive and profound, and has a long history stretching back to antiquity. It is the cultural identity of the Chinese nation, the foundation of the contemporary Chinese culture, the cultural bond holding all Chinese around the globe together, and it is the treasure trove inspiring cultural innovation.

- It holds over 50,000 items of various cultural relics and specimens, including textiles and colored drawing clay figurines.
- The collections include nearly 400 national first-grade cultural relics
Central Plains culture
Painting of Fuxi and Nüwa
Tang Dynasty (618-907), Turpan city
The silk painting of Fuxi and Nüwa was completed in four colors, white, red, yellow, and black.
A culture hero in Chinese legend, Fuxi, is on the right and his sister and wife, Nüwa, who is credited with the creation of humanity, is on the left. The worship of these two ancestors in the legend was started by Chinese living in the regions of Central Plains and the discovery of the painting proves that such cultural symbols had spread to Xinjiang in ancient times.
Seal of Han Dynasty's state agency to manage the agriculture
Han Dynasty (206BC-AD220), Taklimakan Desert
The Seal of Sihefu (lit: Seal of the Han Dynasty's state agency to manage agriculture) was unearthed in 1959 near the Taklimakan Desert in Xinjiang.
The seal, two centimeters long on each side and only 1.6 centimeters tall, shows four Chinese characters, proving that the central government of the Han Dynasty (206BC-AD220) tasked a state agency to till farmland in the region.
It is a demonstration that the Han government exercised effective jurisdiction over the Western Regions [the regions west of Yumen Pass], indicating Xinjiang has been an inextricable part of the Chinese territory since ancient times.
Cultural integration
'Five Stars Rise in the East' arm protector ( Wuxing Chu Dongfang Li Zhongguo)
Han Dynasty (206BC-AD220), Taklimakan Desert
The Han Dynasty "Five Star Rise in the East" was a brocade arm guard used by ancient people to protect themselves when shooting arrows. Discovered in the Niya ruins in Xinjiang, it was a great discovery in Chinese archeology because it was knitted with five clear characters that depict "five stars rise to aid China" proving that Chinese culture had already been a symbol of belief to China's western region thousands of years ago. Along with its important symbolic value, even after many years, the multi-color knitted artifact still showed brocade patterns woven in the form of clouds and birds, and also the five mythical Chinese astrological terms, which were believed to bring the country success and luck especially when participating in military activities by the ancient Chinese. Researchers also believe that the relic came from the Shu region in Southwest China. It represents top-notch brocade making skills from the period.
Colored painted wooden pavilion model
Tang Dynasty (618-907), Turpan city
The 20 centimeter color painted wooden pavilion model bears witness to how the architectural expertise of the Chinese Central Plains was influential to China's western region against the backdrop of cultural, political, and economic exchanges, and that exchanges were burgeoning during the Tang Dynasty. The pavilion model incorporates Chinese wooden architecture's classic design of the Dougong structure that still can be seen on the buildings in the Forbidden City in Beijing. It has a red painted surface and a white base with exquisitely painted cloud patterns in blue, green, and red.
'Heaven King Stepping Ghost' wooden figurine
Tang Dynasty (618-907), Turpan city
The wooden figurine is an embodiment of the renowned Tang colored paints with China's western regional cultural aesthetics.
The "heaven king" figurine has vivid characters like its mustache, the peony flower painted on his armor, and his clothing style that depict classic Tang aesthetics. But, it also carries Chinese western region artistic details such as its cuff patterns. The figurine was believed to ward off evil, and was ingeniously made from more than 30 carved wood components – the tiniest one being the figurine's teeth – that assembled together.
Culture of ethnic minorities in Xinjiang
Female mummified corpse – The Princesses of Xiaohe
3,800 years ago, Lop Nor region
At 152 centimeters high, with light skin, and linen-colored hair, the mummified female corpse in Lop Nor region in Xinjiang was named "The Princesses of Xiaohe." DNA tests on the bones and teeth later showed that the beautifully smiling female, along with others in the mummified group discovered with her, had both Eastern and European DNA characteristics, proof of the exchanges between Xinjiang and Europe over 3,800 years ago.
'Maytri Simit' in old Uygur script - Huihu dialect
8th to 9th century, Turpan city
Plays performed on stage were a popular form of entertainment around the Turpan area in Xinjiang back in 9th to 10th century. Among them was the most famous one Maytri Simit, a play written in the Huihu dialect [an old Uygur script].
The Maytri Simit is a script that narrates the life and deeds of the Maitreya Buddha. It is academically considered the earliest play script across China.

China scrambles to defuse alarm over mortgage boycotts and banks runs
By Laura He, CNN Business
China is trying to ease panic over two of the biggest issues threatening social stability in the country—mortgage boycotts and frozen bank accounts.
On Sunday, the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission urged banks to increase loan support for real estate developers so they can complete unfinished projects, as thousands of disgruntled homebuyers are staging a mortgage boycott across the country.
In China, real estate firms are allowed to sell homes before completing them, and customers have to start repaying mortgages before they are in possession of the new property. These funds are used to finance construction by the developers.
The payment boycott comes as a growing number of projects have been delayed or stalled by a cash crunch among property developers. Evergrande defaulted on its debt last year, and several other companies are seeking protection from creditors.
Home prices are also falling, putting some buyers underwater: They may be locked into a property that is now worth less than they agreed to pay, making them anguished about meeting their mortgage payments.
Buyers across 18 provinces and 47 cities had stopped making payments by last Wednesday, according to multiple state media reports and data compiled by Shanghai-based research firm China Real Estate Information Corporation.
The regulator pledged Sunday to work closely with local governments to ensure timely delivery of unfinished residential projects, according to a report by China Banking And Insurance News, the regulator’s own publication, citing an unnamed official from the CBIRC.
Developers rallied across the board on the news on Monday. Guangzhou R&F Properties soared 9%. Country Garden surged 6%. Longfor Properties jumped 4.1%. Vanke Real Estate also advanced 2.9%.
Stocks in the region were also partly boosted by hopes for more stimulus from China. The Hang Seng Index climbed 2.7% while the Shanghai Composite gained 1.6%.
But analysts advised caution.
“While this move [by the regulator] is encouraging, the issue is very complicated and it is unlikely the CBIRC will be able to handle it on its own,” said Nomura analysts on Monday.
Anger over bank runs
To address rising public anger over frozen deposits at some rural banks in the country, the regulator on Sunday pledged to boost capital buffers for thousands of small banks, which are facing worsening balance sheets amid a weak economy and a slump in property market.
Protests have erupted in recent weeks in central China, as thousands of depositors couldn’t access their savings at several rural banks in the region.
The regulator added that it has already allowed local governments to issue over $15 billion worth of special bonds to replenish small banks’ capital this year. It will work with the finance ministry to approve an additional $30 billion worth of bonds by the end of August.
This move comes days after Chinese authorities said they will start refunding some bank customers whose accounts have been frozen for months.
Protestors launched a mass demonstration earlier this month in Zhengzhou city, Henan province, which was crushed violently by authorities. It was the largest protest yet by the depositors, who have been fighting for months to retrieve their frozen savings.
Policymakers in the world’s second largest economy are facing mounting challenges to keep growth steady, as the country contends with a sharp slowdown in activity due to Beijing’s stringent zero-Covid policy, a bruising regulatory crackdown on the private sector, and a real estate crisis that is causing rising bad debts at banks and growing social protests.
On Friday, China reported its gross domestic product, the broadest measure of its economy, grew 0.4% from a year ago in the second quarter. That was the weakest performance since the first quarter of 2020.

TORONTO, July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Orvana Minerals Corp. (TSX: ORV) (the "Company" or "Orvana") is pleased to report production results and drilling updates from Orovalle, Orvana's unit in Spain, for the third quarter of fiscal year 2022 ended June 30, 2022 ("Q3 FY2022").
- Q3 FY2022 production of 15,798 gold equivalent ounces, a 49% increase from previous quarter
- 22.16 g/t Au over 6.05 meters intercept in Ortosa West, part of the Ortosa-Godán Project
- 6,589 m of Infill and Brownfield Drilling
- 1,337 m of Greenfield Drilling
"We are very pleased that Orovalle has stabilized production after overcoming external factors earlier in the year", stated Orvana CEO Juan Gavidia. "Our exploration strategy is advancing with positive results as evidenced by the latest reported high-grade intercept at the Ortosa-Godan Project in Spain. With additional planned exploration work to be conducted at the Ortosa-Godan Project throughout the remainder of fiscal 2022, we hope to identify the third mineral resource opportunity at Orovalle, along with Boinas and Carles. We are very excited with the short term prospects of the Ortosa-Godan Project", Mr. Gavidia added.
- Production of 15,798 gold equivalent ounces (12,354 gold ounces, 1.3 million copper pounds and 38,082 silver ounces).
- 12,354 gold ounces produced, a 48% increase from Q2 FY2022. On track to meet fiscal year 2022 guidance of 44,000 - 46,000 Oz.
- 1.3 million copper pounds produced, a 62% increase from Q2 FY2022. On track to meet fiscal year 2022 guidance of 4.8 – 5.2 million pounds.
Q3 FY2022 Exploration Drilling
The Ortosa-Godán Project is located three kilometers northwest of the Carles mine, at the same gold belt.
Orovalle started an exploration drilling program in Ortosa West at the end of August 2021 in order to define the skarn continuity and verify the oxide mineralization related to N40ºE structures. The Company disclosed first quarter fiscal 2022 results in the press release dated January 18, 2022.
During Q2 FY2022, 426 meters were completed in one drill hole and during Q3 FY2022, 1,337 meters were completed in three drill holes, one of them still ongoing. These drill holes were planned to intersect mineralization throughout N40ºE direction. Drill hole 22ORW07 intercepted 6.05 m with 22.16 g/t Au and 1.60 m with 27.43 g/t Au. These results confirm the continuity of the mineralization along 250 m Northeast-Southwest trend (see Figure 2). Calcic skarn with sulfides (arsenopyrite mainly) and mineralized silicified breccias were intersected.
10 drill holes were completed to date (last one in progress) with 2,890 meters. The first four drill holes were focused on defining the skarn mineralization at depth in a previously drilled area and the remaining six drill holes were completed in an undrilled area targeting intersect mineralization related to N40ºE structures.
The drilling campaign is still in progress focused on defining mineralization to the Northeast and the structure at depth.
The drilling program continued with its focus on upgrading inferred resources, with a total of 3,197 m of infill drilling completed in Breccia East, Boinas South and High Angle East. Also, 3,392 m of brownfield drilling were executed in High Angle East and E2 to extend the mineralization areas and add inferred resources.
Greenfield drill hole samples were sent to an external laboratory (ALS Laboratory) for analyses. Infill and brownfield drill holes samples were analyzed in Orovalle's Laboratory.
Sample preparation was carried out at the El Valle facility. All diamond core samples have been prepared using the following procedure, once split:
- The core samples are dried at a temperature of 105ºC and then crushed through a jaw crusher to 95%<6 mm. The coarse-crushed sample is further reduced to 95%<425 microns using an LM5 bowl-and-puck pulverizer. An Essa rotary splitter is used to take a 450 g to 550 g sub-sample of each split for pulverizing. The remaining reject portion is bagged and stored. The sample is reduced to a nominal -200 mesh using an LM2 bowl-and-puck pulverizer. 140 g sub-samples are split using a special vertical-sided scoop to cut channels through the sample which has been spread into a pancake on a sampling mat. Samples are then sent to the laboratory for gold and base metal analysis. Leftover pulp is bagged and stored.
- After sample preparation, 30g samples are analyzed (in Orovalle Laboratory) for Au by fire assay with an atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) finish and two-gram samples for Ag, As, Bi, Cu, Hg, Pb, Sb, Se, and Zn by ICP-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) after an aqua regia digestion.
- In case of the samples sent to an external laboratory, 30 g samples are analyzed for Au by fire assay with an atomic absorption (Au AA-25) and 35 elements by ICP (ME-ICP41) after an aqua regia digestion. When Au and Ag values are >100 ppm and Cu and As values are >10,000 ppm, specific analysis methods are used to determinate the final grade.
The reported work has been completed using industry standard procedures, including a quality assurance/quality control ("QA/QC") program consisting of the insertion of certified reference material, blanks and duplicates samples into the sample stream.
The exploration update was prepared under the supervision of Guadalupe Collar Menéndez, a qualified person for the purposes of NI 43-101 and an employee of Orovalle Minerals S.L., a subsidiary of Orvana.
Q3 FY2022 financials will be released mid-August, 2022.

Vietnam veterans in Michigan may soon be recognized with new certification coming out of the Michigan legislature.
House Bill 4065 would amend the Michigan Military Act to award the “Michigan Vietnam Veteran Recognition Certificate” to past service members.
Rep. Bob Bezotte, R-Howell, who introduced the bill, said he himself served in Vietnam from 1970 to 1971. He thinks the recognition will help veterans heal from the PTSD and other hardships experienced as a result of being in war.
“It’s a very small thing, the recognition award, but it’s big to us because of the honor and integrity of serving your country,” Bezotte said.
The United States’ military involvement in the Vietnam War lasted for 14 years, according to the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs. Roughly 2.7 million American men and women served in Vietnam, with 400 thousand being from Michigan.
The Michigan adjutant general, the highest ranking military officer in the state, would be responsible for administering the awards.
In order to be qualified for the certificate, an individual must be a Michigan citizen or a Michigan citizen while serving in the military; be honorably discharged or released under honorable circumstances; or have served during the Vietnam War era.
The certificate would also include an option of a special designation developed by the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs that would recognize individuals who were exposed during their service to Agent Orange herbicides.
Agent Orange was used by the U.S. military during the Vietnam War and caused long-term adverse effects for some veterans, such as hypothyroidism, Parkinson’s disease and some forms of cancer.
The certificate could be presented to a designated representative of a deceased certificate recipient.
The bill passed with majority of votes in the House and unanimously in the Senate before being presented to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on July 10. It still awaits her signature before becoming law.

(The Hill) — Steve Bannon, ex-President Donald Trump’s former White House strategist and campaign CEO, is headed to trial this week on two contempt of Congress charges, the first to result from a refusal to comply with a subpoena from the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack.
The trial, which begins Monday morning with jury selection, falls amid the select panel’s series of public hearings, which have featured damning testimony and evidence about Trump and his inner circle during the riot and in the weeks leading up to it.
Bannon, who had vowed to turn the case into “a misdemeanor from hell” for Democrats, faces up to a year in jail on each count.
The trial will mark the first time a member of Trump’s inner circle has had to face a jury as a result of the Jan. 6 investigations. In a similar case, Trump’s former trade adviser, Peter Navarro, will go to trial in November.
The select committee had subpoenaed Bannon last year for documents and testimony as part of the investigation. When he refused to comply, the House voted to hold him in contempt, sending a criminal referral to the Justice Department.
Last week, U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols twice rejected Bannon’s requests to delay the trial over concerns about potential juror bias amid the public attention on the Jan. 6 committee.
Bannon’s lawyers on Wednesday said in a renewed motion to delay the trial that an hourlong CNN documentary airing Sunday could prejudice potential jurors.
“The Special Report documentary, broadcast [on] this broadly disseminated network undoubtedly will be extraordinarily inflammatory and overwhelming prejudicial for a prospective juror, beginning service in this trial the following day,” they wrote in a court filing.
Nichols, a Trump appointee, disagreed, saying that any concerns about prejudice could be addressed during the jury selection process.
Federal prosecutors are hoping to make a straightforward case that Bannon did not comply with a lawful subpoena. They said they intend to call just two witnesses – Kristen Amerling, the select committee’s general counsel, and an FBI special agent named Stephen Hart – and reserved the possibility of calling a third, Sean Tonolli, another committee counsel.
Bannon’s defense team has pushed to include various arguments that could complicate the government’s case with mixed results in the pretrial proceedings.
Nichols has rejected the defense’s effort to mount a defense that Bannon was relying on the advice of his lawyers when declining to come forward with the information the select committee demanded.
The judge also said the defense would not be able to call Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) or other lawmakers to testify at trial.
At a pretrial hearing last week, David Schoen, one of Bannon’s attorneys, expressed frustration that Nichols had significantly limited how the defense team could proceed at trial.
“What’s the point of going to trial here if there are no defenses?” Schoen asked, according to The Associated Press.
“Agreed,” the judge responded.
But Nichols also denied the Justice Department’s effort to exclude any evidence related to Bannon’s recent and sudden offer to testify before the select committee. The judge said he would consider the issue during trial.
Bannon’s reversal came earlier this month, when his lawyer sent a letter to the select committee saying Trump had agreed to waive executive privilege and allow his outside adviser to testify.
But prosecutors said they had interviewed Trump’s own attorney in June, who told them that the former president had never even asserted executive privilege regarding Bannon in the first place.
“Even the Defendant’s claim that the reason he is now willing to testify is because the former President is ‘waiving’ executive privilege is subject to question given all of the evidence and law that has been addressed in this case, of which he must be aware, demonstrating that executive privilege never provided a basis for total noncompliance in the first place,” prosecutors wrote in a court filing earlier this month.
The defense team has said they may call Bannon to the stand, but the decision likely won’t be made until the trial is underway.
Bannon and Trump have had an up-and-down relationship since the 68-year-old political strategist joined the 2016 campaign. Bannon briefly served as a White House political strategist in 2017 before apparently losing favor with Trump.
Still, the then-president pardoned Bannon on his last day in office, when his ally and still-vocal defender was facing fraud and money laundering charges related to a nonprofit that was fundraising off plans to privately finance the construction of a wall along the border with Mexico.
The select committee’s hearings have renewed interest in information that Bannon might possess. Last week, the panel presented White House records showing he spoke with Trump twice on the day before the attack.
They also played a clip of a Jan. 5 appearance Bannon made on a right-wing talk show after his first call with the then-president in which he predicted there would be mayhem the following day.
“All hell is going to break loose tomorrow,” Bannon said in the clip. “It’s all converging, and now we’re on, as they say, the point of attack.”
“I’ll tell you this: It’s not going to happen like you think it’s going to happen,” he added. “It’s going to be quite extraordinarily different, and all I can say is strap in.” | https://wgntv.com/news/steve-bannons-trial-over-defying-jan-6-committee-set-to-begin/ | 2022-07-18T12:16:40Z | https://wgntv.com/news/steve-bannons-trial-over-defying-jan-6-committee-set-to-begin/ | true |

'My dream came true': Indian woman to revisit Pakistan home after 75 years
By Mubasher Bukhari
LAHORE, July 18 (Reuters) - When 92-year old Indian citizen Reena Varma visits her childhood home in Pakistan this week, for the first time in 75 years, she will be the only one of her family to make it back home since they left shortly before partition divided the two nations.
"My dream came true," she said, adding her sister had died without ever being able to fulfil her wish to return to the home in the city of Rawalpindi they left when Varma was 15 years old.
The family of five siblings fled to the Western Indian state of Pune shortly before partition in August 1947.
Although Varma was able to travel once to the eastern Pakistani city of Lahore as a young woman, she has never been back to Rawalpindi. Her parents and siblings have since died.
Crossing into Pakistan by road last week after decades of attempts to get a visa, she felt a wave of emotion.
"When I crossed the Pakistan-India Border and saw the signs for Pakistan and India, I got sentimental," she said, speaking during a stop in Lahore. "Now, I cannot predict how I will react when I reach Rawalpindi and see my ancestral home in the street."
Varma's family was among the millions of people whose lives were disrupted in 1947, when departing British Indian colonial administrators ordered the creation of two countries - one mostly Muslim and one majority Hindu.
A mass migration followed, marred by violence and bloodshed, as about 15 million Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs, fearing discrimination, swapped countries in a political upheaval that cost more than a million lives.
India and Pakistan have fought three wars since 1947, and relations remain tense, particularly over the disputed Himalayan region of Kashmir, which both claim in full.
DECISION TO LEAVE
Aug. 14 will mark 75 years since partition split the two countries, dividing the province of Punjab roughly down the middle.
Varma remembers those tumultuous days clearly. The family worried as reports of violent incidents reached them and decided to leave, her father quitting his public servant job and Varma leaving her school. "Initially we could not understand what happened," she said, adding her mother never wanted to believe that the two countries had been divided.
"She kept saying we will go back to Rawalpindi soon, but ultimately she had to accept the reality that India and Pakistan are two separate countries," she said.
Varma has been trying since 1965 to get a visa for Pakistan, finally succeeding this year when the Pakistan India Heritage Club and Pakistan's Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Hina Rabbani Khar helped with the process.
Varma is being hosted by Imran William, the director of the India Pakistan Heritage Club, which works to highlight the shared heritage of citizens on both sides of the border and reunite family members separated by partition.
"India and Pakistan are two separate countries but we can bring peace between them through love and people-to-people contact," William said.
When Varma, who is Hindu, was leaving India for her trip she said many warned her not to travel to the Muslim-majority country, but she was not deterred.
"Here I feel I am in my own town with my own people," William said.

Emirates says air travel must tough out disruption until 2023
FARNBOROUGH, England, July 18 (Reuters) - The president of Dubai's Emirates, which has clashed with London's Heathrow over enforced capacity cuts, said on Monday that a badly disrupted air travel industry would return to equilibrium in 2023 and must "tough it out" until then.
Tim Clark, speaking at an event at the Farnborough Airshow, criticised Heathrow managers for failing to anticipate the travel rebound until it was too late. Heathrow did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The comments came after Emirates on Thursday angrily rejected demands by Heathrow to cut capacity. The airline and airport later announced a deal to cap further sales on flights out of Heathrow through mid-August.

(The Hill) — The chances that President Joe Biden could attract a primary challenger are rising amid devastating polling numbers with Democrats and particularly young voters.
His loyalists have defended him against the increasingly negative headlines. They say he stepped into a mess made by former President Donald Trump and that some of the lawmakers in Congress who were supposed to help him turn things around have been difficult and disappointing.
But that willingness to prop up the sinking president has been wearing thin. Day by day, Democrats are considering a possible new scenario: challenging the sitting president for the 2024 nomination.
“Unless Biden comes to his senses and announces that he won’t run again, a contentious battle for the nomination seems very likely,” Normon Soloman, founder of the progressive network RootsAction, told The Hill.
“The president may not realize or care that the trajectory of his policies has been taking him farther and farther from the Democratic Party base, but his distance from that base would likely be catastrophic for Biden if he tries to get nominated again,” he said.
As Biden’s popularity dropped to the low 30s, some of his former supporters began rethinking what the next two years could look like. Even if he runs again — as he has stated publicly and privately — the tacit pact that implies others in the party will step aside for him seems to be fading.
“The tone-deaf and self-centered thing for him to do would be to soldier on – insisting that he should be president until January 2029 – while damaging the party’s prospects in the process,” Solomon added.
Solomon’s group was so angry that it put together an official campaign to stop Biden from running again and is already commissioning signatures.
A lot of that frustration reflects the paralyzed state of the country under his party’s control.
For months, Democrats have grumbled about Biden’s lack of traction and spoken about who could step up if the president chooses not to run, but most have been hesitant to say outright someone else should replace him.
That’s beginning to change.
The deluge of problems — from the war in Ukraine, to surging gas prices, more mass shootings, the dismantling of Roe v. Wade and, most recently, a frightening inflation figure — has added to the perception that the president has taken his hands off the wheel.
On Wednesday, reports that the inflation rate hit over 9 percent, exceeding anything in recent history, made things worse. The White House quickly responded by saying the numbers were “out-of-date” because the cost of gas had come down a bit recently.
Few efforts to turn things around, however, have registered.
A New York Times-Siena College poll released this week offered a startling data point for those starting to make the case for a Democratic challenger. According to the survey, well over half of Democratic voters sampled – 64 percent – said they wanted another candidate to be the party’s nominee.
“I don’t think it’s a given frankly that he would win the primary,” said Steve Phillips, a progressive Democratic strategist who works on issues related to race and democracy. “I don’t think a primary and or its outcome is cataclysmic.”
“He could win, but he might not,” he said.
A serious primary challenge to a sitting president is rare, but Democrats have two examples from relatively recent history to look back on.
Pat Buchanan challenged George H.W. Bush in 1992 and Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) mounted a competitive campaign in 1980 against former President Jimmy Carter. Both ultimately fell short, but Bush and Carter both lost in the general election.
Several Democrats who have been seen as helpful allies to the president are now being talked about as possible replacements. While it’s an open question if anyone with less name ID could climb high enough to win the nomination, some are putting in the apparent legwork now.
A pair of governors have recently taken steps that have elevated their national profile. California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) traveled to the White House this week and met with Ron Klain, the president’s chief of staff, while Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) also went to the Oval Office and on a separate occasion to New Hampshire, the first-in-the-nation primary. On Saturday, he’ll be in Florida, a crucial swing state where Trump resides.
Meanwhile, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who skyrocketed to prominence after winning the Iowa caucus in 2020, officially changed his home state registration to Michigan, one of the top general election battlegrounds.
“It’s a much broader question than Biden,” Phillips said, speculating about the landscape in 2024. “It’s a question of what’s happening in the country and what is the fight within this country, and then who’s best positioned to lead that.”
While there has been extensive polling showing Democrats’ dissatisfaction with Biden, data on how potential challenges would fare against Biden in a primary or against a potential GOP nominee in November has been scarce.
In 2020, Phillips said that Biden emerged as “the right person for that moment” for his ability to restore some degree of normalcy and strongly rebuke the white nationalism that was stoked during the Trump years. But much of the division Trump led with has not gone away, and some Democrats wonder where the president has been.
“That fight to roll back all of the civil rights progress in this country continues, and yet, that’s a fight that Biden is reluctant to lean into,” he said. “That’s what accounts for his poor approval rating. We want this to be a multiracial, multicultural country unapologetically, but Biden doesn’t want to fight those fights with the same intensity that the right does.”
Progressives, including young voters, are among the most upset with Biden.
The same New York Times-Siena College poll found 94 percent of Democratic primary voters ages 18 to 29 said the party should nominate someone other than Biden in the next presidential election.
With their up-close view from Congress, Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who each attracted a lot of the youth vote, have been publicly pushing Biden to be a more action-oriented president. They acknowledge two of their Senate colleagues, Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.), have bucked most of his agenda, but are encouraging him to do more with his own authority while he can.
With just about three months until the midterms, those liberal Democrats have also taken things into their own hands. Warren has set out to tackle low youth registration numbers with a new plan to boost turnout among soon-to-be college students and improve voter ID rules on campuses. And Sanders along with others on the left have pushed consistently for reforms, including changing the Senate’s filibuster, that would allow most of Biden’s own proposals to move through the upper chamber without Republican support.
Others, including the senator’s two campaign co-chairs, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) and former Ohio House candidate and activist Nina Turner (D), have been talked about as possible challengers, with Turner preferring a more outspoken anti-Biden approach than Khanna, who has worked closely with the administration.
“Constructive criticism is part of democracy,” Khanna told The Hill this week. “I’ve personally called for Biden to do more to bring down inflation like passing a windfall profit tax to lower gas prices and going after Wall Street for driving up housing prices.”
But the progressive congressman says he’s more interested in party unity at this point, noting the implied danger in his eyes of a return to Trumpism is real.
That possibility, which Democrats have speculated about since Biden narrowly defeated Trump, seemed more likely this week after the Washington Post and New York Magazine both reported that the former Republican president is considering announcing a third bid. According to both outlets, the timing around midterms is the biggest part of his decision.
“I believe that our party needs to unify behind the president and I will support him in 2024,” Khanna said. “But the goal should never be to just attack or weaken him. The threat of another Trump presidency is too serious for that. Biden has beaten him once and deserves our respect.” | https://www.wdtn.com/nexstar-media-wire/frustrated-democrats-mull-drastic-step-challenging-biden-in-2024/ | 2022-07-18T12:19:31Z | https://www.wdtn.com/nexstar-media-wire/frustrated-democrats-mull-drastic-step-challenging-biden-in-2024/ | false |
Microsoft president sees 'new era' of stagnating labor pool
By Jeffrey Dastin and Kenneth Li
REDMOND, Wash., July 18 (Reuters) - U.S. companies are facing a "new era" in which fewer people are entering the workforce and pressure to pay higher salaries may become permanent, Microsoft Corp's President Brad Smith told Reuters in an interview.
At the software maker's Redmond, Washington, headquarters, Smith highlighted one source of what he called today's "greater economic turbulence." In his office, he walked over to a wall-sized touchscreen device and pulled up a series of charts, showing how population growth has tumbled in the United States, Europe, China and Japan.
The trend of around 5 million people expanding the U.S. working age population every five years since 1950 has shifted, starting in the period between 2016 and 2020 when growth slowed to 2 million, and is now slowing further, said Smith late last week, citing United Nations data. Major markets overseas have seen outright labor force declines.
"That helps explain part of why you can have low growth and a labor shortage at the height at the same time. There just aren't as many people entering the workforce," said Smith, who oversees the nearly $2 trillion company selling cloud-computing services to major businesses.
Government stimulus during the pandemic, COVID-19 concerns, childcare and other factors have contributed to the current labor shortage as well.
Executives including Mark Zuckerberg, chief executive of Facebook parent Meta Platforms Inc, have recently fretted about the economy. Zuckerberg warned the United States might face "one of the worst downturns that we've seen in recent history," though Smith said it would be premature to declare a recession inevitable.
Competing for limited workers, Microsoft recently boosted pay at the same time as it slowed hiring, company officials said. The software maker also trimmed a small percentage of jobs pegged to the start of its new fiscal year.
Smith said Microsoft's business selling productivity tools, cloud services and technology with artificial intelligence, which enterprises may need in a downturn, sets it up to weather economic challenges.
U.S. Department of Labor data from June showed employers broadly had continued to raise wages and hire more workers than expected. Labor force participation, however, shrank for the second time in three months, to 62.2%, showing no persistent improvement since the start of 2022.
Population growth has become a hot topic in the tech industry, with Tesla Inc CEO Elon Musk saying birth rates are too low to sustain the United States.
Musk recently fathered twins, making him the parent of nine children, Insider reported this month.
Smith said he concurred with Musk "maybe in the problem. I'm not recommending the same solution."

The sanitized term for these mass killings of animals — usually on industrial farms — is “depopulation.”
Depopulation differs from the slaughter of animals for food in both its speed and scale. It also differs significantly from humane animal euthanasia in which the comfort and individual circumstances of the animals are prioritized.
As long as Americans consume meat in large quantities, depopulation will prove a necessary evil. Yet it is likely that few consumers of meat or poultry are aware of this phenomenon.
If they were, they would likely lose their appetites.
There are many methods of depopulation. But one of the approaches that has been approved and is increasingly relied upon by the American industry for killing chickens and pigs under crisis circumstances is ventilation shutdown plus, known as VSD+.
This is a highly misleading euphemism: The process subjects targeted animals to hyperthermia, essentially inflicting slow, painful deaths upon them through heatstroke. Such gratuitous cruelty is unnecessary. Alternative methods — such as portable electrocution units, conversion of slaughter houses to carcass production, captive bolts, nitrogen gas-infused foams or even carbon dioxide whole house gassing — are less likely to cause torture or suffering. They may increase slightly the costs and effort, but we believe most consumers will pay a penny or two more for meat per pound to avoid inflicting unnecessary agony.
Animals, after all, are not the only victims of inhumane killing methods. The collateral damage inflicted upon the human beings who care for these creatures is also significant. Evidence suggests that individuals who work with food animals — veterinarians, technicians, farmers and plant production workers — often suffer psychological distress from exposure to animal suffering. Swine veterinarians, in particular, have been shown to suffer profound moral distress after encountering VSD+. The veterinary profession is steeped in an epidemic of suicide with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reporting that 1 in 6 veterinarians contemplated suicide in 2014. The persistently invasive moral distress imposed by mass killings of animals is surely contributing to this crisis.
Food animal veterinarians and farm production workers are among the small segment of the American population who must bear witness to animal suffering in order to meet our society’s demand for animal products. They confront the challenge of caring for animals that are later harvested — and often of having to kill those animals. As a result, they often experience psychological distress, moral injury and even post-traumatic stress disorder.
Society has an ethical obligation to adjust depopulation methods to shield these caregivers from trauma.
In addition to altering depopulation methods, efforts should be made to reduce the necessity for depopulation events. Lawmakers, farmers and veterinarians already possess the tools to do so. But it is American consumers who have the powers to persuade them to act. One major step forward would be to reduce the demand for so-called concentrated animal feeding operations, known as CAFOs, another euphemistic term for meat, dairy and egg production units that confine over 1,000 animals in excess of 45 days per year.
The widespread growth of CAFOs has increased the need for potential depopulation events. Large scale agricultural enterprises that hold large numbers of chickens in battery cages or pigs in gestation crates generate the environments that spawn rapid mass culling. Such methods may prove marginally cheaper in the short run, but they are unnecessary to feed American diners and run contrary to the traditional values of family farming.
Several legislative efforts are under way to tackle these challenges. In 2021, the Farm System Reform Act was introduced in the House and Senate, and it seeks to limit the creation of additional CAFOs and scale back existing ones by 2040. Similarly, in 2018 California voters approved Proposition 12, which sets minimum confinement standards in the industry. The National Pork Producers Council has challenged the initiative, and the Supreme Court appears likely to resolve the matter later this year.
In the interim, both animals and their caregivers across the nation continue to suffer.
In a well-known short story, “The Ones Who Walked Away from Omelas,” the late author and humanitarian Ursula Le Guin describes a society in which the extreme suffering of a young child is necessary to buoy the prosperity of the community. We currently live in our own version of this story; a small fraction of the population witnesses animal welfare atrocities so that others may dine in benighted impunity. The horrific burden of VSD+ is one that neither animals nor their caregivers should have to carry.

Pritzker (D) also went to the Oval Office and on a separate occasion to New Hampshire, the first-in-the-nation primary. On Saturday, he’ll be in Florida, a crucial swing state where Trump resides.
Meanwhile, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who skyrocketed to prominence after winning the Iowa caucus in 2020, officially changed his home state registration to Michigan, one of the top general election battlegrounds.
“It’s a much broader question than Biden,” Phillips said, speculating about the landscape in 2024. “It’s a question of what’s happening in the country and what is the fight within this country, and then who’s best positioned to lead that.”
While there has been extensive polling showing Democrats’ dissatisfaction with Biden, data on how potential challenges would fare against Biden in a primary or against a potential GOP nominee in November has been scarce.
In 2020, Phillips said that Biden emerged as “the right person for that moment” for his ability to restore some degree of normalcy and strongly rebuke the white nationalism that was stoked during the Trump years. But much of the division Trump led with has not gone away, and some Democrats wonder where the president has been.
“That fight to roll back all of the civil rights progress in this country continues, and yet, that’s a fight that Biden is reluctant to lean into,” he said. “That’s what accounts for his poor approval rating. We want this to be a multiracial, multicultural country unapologetically, but Biden doesn’t want to fight those fights with the same intensity that the right does.”
Progressives, including young voters, are among the most upset with Biden.
The same New York Times-Siena College poll found 94 percent of Democratic primary voters ages 18 to 29 said the party should nominate someone other than Biden in the next presidential election.
With their up-close view from Congress, Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who each attracted a lot of the youth vote, have been publicly pushing Biden to be a more action-oriented president. They acknowledge two of their Senate colleagues, Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.), have bucked most of his agenda, but are encouraging him to do more with his own authority while he can.
With just about three months until the midterms, those liberal Democrats have also taken things into their own hands. Warren has set out to tackle low youth registration numbers with a new plan to boost turnout among soon-to-be college students and improve voter ID rules on campuses. And Sanders along with others on the left have pushed consistently for reforms, including changing the Senate’s filibuster, that would allow most of Biden’s own proposals to move through the upper chamber without Republican support.
Others, including the senator’s two campaign co-chairs, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) and former Ohio House candidate and activist Nina Turner (D), have been talked about as possible challengers, with Turner preferring a more outspoken anti-Biden approach than Khanna, who has worked closely with the administration.
“Constructive criticism is part of democracy,” Khanna told The Hill this week. “I’ve personally called for Biden to do more to bring down inflation like passing a windfall profit tax to lower gas prices and going after Wall Street for driving up housing prices.”
But the progressive congressman says he’s more interested in party unity at this point, noting the implied danger in his eyes of a return to Trumpism is real.
That possibility, which Democrats have speculated about since Biden narrowly defeated Trump, seemed more likely this week after the Washington Post and New York Magazine both reported that the former Republican president is considering announcing a third bid. According to both outlets, the timing around midterms is the biggest part of his decision.
“I believe that our party needs to unify behind the president and I will support him in 2024,” Khanna said. “But the goal should never be to just attack or weaken him. The threat of another Trump presidency is too serious for that. Biden has beaten him once and deserves our respect.” | https://www.wowktv.com/news/nexstar-media-wire/frustrated-democrats-mull-drastic-step-challenging-biden-in-2024/ | 2022-07-18T12:25:07Z | https://www.wowktv.com/news/nexstar-media-wire/frustrated-democrats-mull-drastic-step-challenging-biden-in-2024/ | true |
EV solid-state battery deployment to get delayed by 2030: Report
The deployment of solid-state batteries in electric vehicles (EVs) is set to be delayed to 2030 owing to key technical challenges, according to a report.
New Delhi: The deployment of solid-state batteries in electric vehicles (EVs) is set to be delayed to 2030 owing to key technical challenges, according to a report.
Recent announcements from solid-state battery developers have suggested deployments by automotive in electric vehicles will begin in the near-term.
However, Strategy Analytics predicts that solid-state batteries will face delay in mass production and further deployment.
With the higher cost, the first deployments will be limited to premium models until technology breakthroughs and production maturity enable volume production for battery electric vehicles in the 2030s timeframe.
"Prior to this, semi-solid-state cells and implementation in hybrid models will provide the test beds for true solid-state battery technology," the report noted.
A solid-state battery has higher energy density than a Lithium-ion battery that uses liquid electrolyte solution.
Toyota has announced that the first deployment of its solid-state battery cells will be in hybrid models, not battery electric, in 2025.
The technology trial was originally planned to take place during the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, but that development was delayed due to technical challenges and the pandemic.
Toyota's solid electrolyte is sulfide-based, which requires a moisture-free production environment that would otherwise be prone to generate hydrogen sulfide gas, which threatens the performance of the battery cell.
"Other solid electrolytes have challenges in conducting lithium ions between electrodes," said Kevin Mak, principal analyst in the Global Automotive Practice (GAP).
There are other challenges in producing these electrolytes, including the need for high temperatures and complicated processes, that are presently limiting the ability to achieve volume production and keeping costs high.
"Additionally, the solid structure and fused components in solid-state battery cells are susceptible to delamination when using a silicon anode and pose a challenge to recycling. The dendrite issue doesn't go away either as minute cracks in the solid electrolyte can occur," said Mak. | https://auto.economictimes.indiatimes.com/amp/news/auto-components/ev-solid-state-battery-deployment-to-get-delayed-by-2030-report/92957148 | 2022-07-18T12:26:36Z | https://auto.economictimes.indiatimes.com/amp/news/auto-components/ev-solid-state-battery-deployment-to-get-delayed-by-2030-report/92957148 | false |

Growing usage of aluminium in the auto industry bolsters sustainability and safety
The company is keen to partner with the automotive sector across the value chain, from large players to OEMs and MSMEs, for reducing the industry's import dependence.
New Delhi: Vedanta Aluminium, India's largest producer of aluminium, makes a case for 'green' aluminium at the recently held national webinar by Automotive Component Manufacturers Association (ACMA) of India.
With its world class-aluminium smelters, metal expertise, global technology partnerships and deep R&D capabilities, Vedanta Aluminium has been a long-time partner to the auto industry, developing product solutions perfectly tailored to their evolving needs.
The company is keen to partner with the automotive sector across the value chain, from large players to OEMs and MSMEs, for reducing the industry's import dependence.
ACMA's event, themed on 'Light-weighting with Aluminium and Sustainability' witnessed participation of top executives from key players in the auto, auto components and aluminium industry.
Nikhil Bhagchandani, Dy. Director - Marketing, Vedanta Aluminium, who was the keynote speaker at the event, highlighted the importance of 'green' aluminium (i.e. aluminium with low carbon footprint) in bolstering the endeavours of automakers to decarbonise their products.
The company is India's first to launch low carbon aluminium, branded 'Restora', for customers looking to source raw materials responsibly for creating a green value chain. Restora has a carbon footprint that is nearly half the global threshold for aluminium to be considered as low carbon. It's second green product, Restora Ultra, has an even lower carbon footprint, that is near-zero and is amongst the lowest in the world.
Aluminium is currently the second most used metal in vehicles and the fastest growing, a clear indication of the metal's growing prominence in automobile manufacturing.
With evolving consumer consciousness towards sustainability and tightening of emission norms, there has been a significant increase in aluminium usage in vehicles, be it battery electric vehicles (BEVs), hybrids or internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. The reason being aluminium's unique properties which lend themselves very well to the auto industry:
Owing to its high strength-to-weight ratio, more aluminium in vehicles makes them significantly lighter, faster, easier to manoeuvre and high on performance.
Light weighting of vehicles also reduces their fuel consumption, thereby helping with cost savings and reducing carbon footprint.
In electric vehicles, increase in aluminium usage in the vehicle extends its driving range by offsetting battery weight, thereby reducing cost of ownership, even with addition of more safety features.
Aluminium continues to drive vehicle safety as well, since pound for pound, aluminium can absorb twice the crash energy of mild steel.
Highly malleable & ductile, aluminium also gives automakers exceptional design flexibility, across a wide range of applications from car frames to engines, battery casings, doors & windows, wheels, and many other smaller components in between.
Further, aluminium's natural resistance to corrosion gives vehicles a longer life and reduces the need for frequent maintenance, again reducing cost of ownership.
Finally, nearly 90 per cent of all the aluminium used in a vehicle can be recycled at the end of its lifecycle, increasing the vehicle's salvage value.
The Indian automotive industry, which is gradually adopting the advantages of aluminium, is poised to become the 3rd largest automotive market in terms of volume by 2030 (as per Invest India), propelled by electric vehicles, heavy vehicles and passenger vehicles. Prior to the pandemic, India's auto component industry imports stood at USD 15.40 Billion.
Speaking on the opportunities of indigenous development and localised sourcing of auto components and parts, Rahul Sharma, CEO Vedanta Aluminium, says, "The national vision for self-reliance calls for increased focus on localizing sourcing of raw materials, parts and components by the Indian automotive industry. At Vedanta Aluminium, we offer our customers 360-degree holistic solutions to meet their evolving business needs, such as catering to their need for decarbonisation with 'Restora', our low carbon aluminium brand. We are further keen to co-create innovative product solutions for new and emerging applications of aluminium in the automotive industry, and together with them shape the future of mobility."
Ramachandra Rao, Chairman - ACMA CFT on Raw Materials, & Executive Chairman - Indo Schottle Auto Parts Pvt. Ltd., said, "Aluminium is a critical raw material for the auto industry, as is evidenced by the metal's increasing usage globally in automotive applications. As the Indian auto industry increasingly localises sourcing of raw materials, domestic aluminium manufacturers like Vedanta Aluminium can be ideal partners for automakers. Whether it is light weighting, environmentally-friendly products or new alloys, such partnerships can shape the future of our auto industry."
Vedanta Aluminium has been a catalysing force for the automotive industry, producing high-end alloys like Primary Foundry Alloy and Cylinder-head Alloy, which address automakers' most pressing needs for cost, quality, safety and sustainability, with light weighting. Notably, both alloys were entirely being imported into India until Vedanta Aluminium started supplying them indigenously.
As applications of aluminium in vehicles continues to rise, Vedanta Aluminium is rapidly expanding its value-added product portfolio for the auto industry. The company has also developed an online solution that brings together all of Vedanta's products under one roof for customers, including after-sales technical support, logistics and financial solutions.
Vedanta Aluminium currently produces one of the largest product ranges in aluminium, including billets, ingots, wire rods, rolled products, slabs and more.
Ashish Kaul, head of sales and network development, Honda Cars India Ltd (HCIL), and Nishith Agarwal, General Manager- IT Strategy, System Planning & Development, HCIL, are the latest to resign from the company.
After facing a tough stance on its India entry and hanging on the edge for over two years, Chinese SUV maker Great Wall Motors (GWM) has finally called it quits by firing 11 Indian employees from its organisation. The company had initially proposed an investment of USD 1 billion (INR7000 crore) and had plans to start manufacturing in 2021. | https://auto.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/auto-components/growing-usage-of-aluminium-in-the-auto-industry-bolsters-sustainability-and-safety/92955821 | 2022-07-18T12:28:08Z | https://auto.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/auto-components/growing-usage-of-aluminium-in-the-auto-industry-bolsters-sustainability-and-safety/92955821 | true |

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — With Russian shelling across the country showing no signs of easing, Ukraine's leaders on Monday were looking to strengthen their own ranks after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy removed from office some of his most prominent officials because of alleged "poor performance" over clearing their agencies of “collaborators and traitors.”
Internal investigations and checks will be launched following the replacement of the head of Ukraine’s Security Service, or SBU, Ivan Bakanov, and Prosecutor General Iryna Venediktova, said Andriy Smirnov, deputy head of Ukraine’s presidential office. Acting heads of the two agencies have been appointed in the meantime. officials said.
“Six months into the war, we continue to uncover loads of these people in each of these agencies," said Andriy Smirnov, the deputy head of Ukraine’s presidential office.
Analysts said the move is designed to strengthen Zelenskyy's control over the army and the security agencies that have been led by people appointed before the war. Zelenskyy “needs an effective Prosecutor (General’s) office, and (an effective) SBU" agency, Volodymyr Fesenko, political analyst with the Penta Center think tank, told The Associated Press.
“In the conditions of a war, Zelenskyy needs leaders that are capable of tackling several tasks at the same time -- to resist Russia’s intrigues within the country to create a fifth column, to be in contact and coordination with international experts, to do their actual job effectively,” Fesenko said.
Bakanov and Venediktova both have held key positions amid Ukraine's efforts to defend itself from the Russian invasion and hold the Russian attackers accountable for the crimes against civilians during the war, which started on Feb. 24.
Bakanov is Zelenskyy's childhood friend and former business partner whom he had appointed to head the SBU. Bakanov had come under growing criticism over security breaches since the war began and reports have emerged in the past few months that Zelenskyy was looking to replace him.
Venediktova, the first woman to serve as Ukraine’s prosecutor general, has won international praise for her relentless drive to gather evidence against Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russian officials and military commanders over the destruction of Ukrainian cities and the killing of civilians.
The 43-year-old former law professor has opened thousands of criminal investigations and identified hundreds of suspects while in office, interviewing victims while also coordinating her efforts with foreign donors and officials. When she took office in 2020, Venediktova started as a reformer set to curb inefficiency and corruption in her office.
After appointing the acting chief prosecutor on Sunday, Zelenskyy on Monday signed a decree naming first deputy head of the SBU, Vasyl Maliuk, as the acting head of the agency. Maluik, 39, is known for his efforts to fight corruption in the security agencies and his appointment is seen as part of Zelenskyy's efforts to get rid of pro-Russian staffers within the SBU.
“Maliuk was fighting corruption within the SBU, so (he) has compromising materials on many staff members and can control the personnel, many of whom are looking in the direction of Russia,” political analyst Vadym Karasiov, head of the Global Strategies Institute, told the AP.
Fesenko, the political analyst, added that discontent with the two officials has been brewing for a while and that it was possible that Ukraine’s Western partners pointed out the underperformance of the SBU and the prosecutor general's office to Zelenskyy.
Meanwhile, Russia pressed forward with its attacks, which Ukrainian officials said were designed to intimidate the civilian population and sow panic among them.
Ukraine's presidential office said Monday that Russian shelling over the past day killed at least four civilians and wounded 13 more. Cities and villages in seven Ukrainian regions have suffered from the attacks, the update said.
The highest number of civilian casualties was reported in the eastern Donetsk region, where the most intense fighting is focused at the moment -- two people were killed there and 10 others were wounded.
Donetsk governor Pavlo Kyrylenko said that the shelling of the region is incessant. Four strikes have been carried out on the city of Kramatorsk, he said, urging civilians to evacuate from the area.
“We’re seeing that the Russians want to sow fear and panic among the civilians -- the shelling continues day and night,” Kyrylenko said in televised remarks. “The front line is moving, so civilians must leave the region and evacuate.”
The southern city of Mykolaiv was shelled on Monday morning, while two people were killed and two others were wounded in the shelling of residential buildings in In Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city.
“The shelling either intensifies, or dies down, but the Russian army doesn’t stop the fire on the Kharkiv region and keeps civilians in constant tension,” Kharkiv Gov. Oleh Syniehubov told Ukrainian TV.
Also Monday, a funeral was held at a monastery in Kyiv for a Ukrainian solider who was killed when his car hit a land mine near Izium on July 14, but whose family couldn't bury him in their hometown in eastern Ukraine because it remains under Russian occupation. St. Michael’s Golden-Domed Monastery was packed with grievers paying their last respects to “Fanat," as the soldier born in 1994 was known. Any time the priest paused in his service, the voice of the soldier's mother echoed in the church.
’We will love you forever and ever. We will miss you so much," she cried, caressing the closed coffin. ‘Why do we need to live in this cursed war?’
