The Company is moving product directly allowing to keep upwards of 30% of additional profit.
WESTON, Fla., July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Golden Grail Technology (OTC: GOGY) www.GoldenGrailBeverages.com is a fast-growing company with a strategic mission to innovate, build and streamline the growth of its beverage portfolio through fiscally responsible investing is pleased to announce another direct sale maintaining upwards of 30% more profits for the Company. The Japanese Garden https://japanesegarden.org/ in Portland, Oregon is stocking up on KOZ Water https://kozwater.com/ for high volume visitors during the summer months.
Golden Grail's strategic initiative of selling directly to influential large-volume retail locations is picking up traction. The Company just announced launching their initiative and selling a large volume of Cause Water to a popular California museum. Being able to move large quantities directly to a retailer will allow Golden Grail to keep upwards of 30% of additional profit, on top of the companies set profit margins. The strategy is to keep more profit and build a network of these "influencer accounts".
As bottled water exploded in popularity, it has contributed to a growing environmental problem. Sales of bottled water now exceed those of soda and beer in the U.S. Source: BusinessInsider.com. Despite efforts to encourage recycling in cities across the country, plastic bottles used for soda and water are rarely recycled, research shows, and the U.S. was the 20th biggest contributor to plastic waste in the oceans (out of 192 countries) as a result, in part, of our thirst for bottled beverages. Aluminum, meanwhile, has emerged as a major competitor to plastic bottles according to data from the International Bottled Water Association.
Influential and progressive destinations like, Japanese Gardens, are leading the way in offering "canned" water to their visitors.
Golden Grail Technology (OTC: GOGY) www.GoldenGrailBeverages.com is a fast-growing company with a strategic mission to innovate, build and streamline the growth of its beverage portfolio through fiscally responsible investing.

FARNBOROUGH, United Kingdom, July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Boeing (NYSE: BA) and ANA HOLDINGS, the parent company of All Nippon Airways (ANA), held a signing ceremony today at the Farnborough International Airshow to formalize an order for 20 737-8 airplanes, with 10 options in addition to the airline's selection of the new 777-8 Freighter. ANA is the first 737 MAX customer in Japan and first carrier in Asia to choose the 777-8 Freighter. The order was previously unidentified on Boeing's Orders and Deliveries website.
"We are pleased to partner with Boeing to introduce new airplanes into our world-class fleet that further our commitment to sustainable aviation," said Koji Shibata, President and CEO of ANA HOLDINGS. "The efficiency, reliability and range capability of the 737 MAX make it an ideal airplane to refresh our narrow-body fleet and provide our passengers with the highest level of comfort onboard. In addition, the 777-8 Freighters will add flexibility and efficiency to our air cargo network. The 737 and 777 have long been a mainstay of the ANA fleet, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with Boeing with these new airplanes."
"This is a tremendous milestone for ANA and Boeing as the airline has selected the 737-8 and 777-8 Freighter to further strengthen its passenger and cargo operations," said Stan Deal, president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "ANA has remained at the forefront of commercial aviation by consistently investing in the latest airplane technology, providing their passengers with an unparalleled flying experience and more sustainable options to travel and deliver goods around the globe."
With commonality and enhanced efficiency, the 737-8 will enable ANA to optimize its fleet across its operations while reducing fuel use and carbon emissions by 20% and noise by 50% compared to airplanes it replaces. The 737 MAX family has the latest CFM International LEAP-1B engines, advanced technology winglets and other aerodynamic enhancements to improve performance and reduce operating costs. More than 40 airlines globally are operating the 737 MAX, which has made over 680,000 revenue flights totaling nearly 1.7 million flight hours since late 2020.
ANA has converted two orders for the 777-9 passenger jet to the 777-8 Freighter. With the new freighter, ANA will be able to carry up to 10 tonnes more payload and fly further than the 777 Freighter with at least a 10% improvement in fuel efficiency, emissions and operating costs per tonne. Featuring the world's largest composite wing and more efficient engines, the new 777-8 Freighter is ideally suited for operators committed to creating a more sustainable and profitable future. The 777-8 Freighter will interline seamlessly with ANA's existing 777 Freighter fleet, using the same containers and pallets.
Based in Tokyo, ANA was the global launch operator of the 787 Dreamliner and is a launch customer for the 777X family. The airline currently operates more than 170 Boeing jets, including two 777 Freighters, 39 737s and the world's largest 787 fleet with 77 Dreamliners including all three sub-models. This order will expand ANA's order book to 61 Boeing airplanes including the 737 MAX, 787 and 777X.

SHENZHEN, China, July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- On July 18, commercial service robots producer Pudu Robotics unveiled its newest offering, the all-new PuduBot 2. Featuring a range of upgrades, this new generation of universal delivery robots offers better environment adaptability, stronger sensors, higher battery power capacity, and superior stability to the very successful first-generation PuduBot launched in 2017.

Almost 1,000 children in North Warwickshire are in families affected by a limit on child allowance benefits, estimates suggest.
The two-child limit restricts child allowances in universal credit and tax credits – worth £2,935 per year – to the first two children in a family unless the children were born before April 6, 2017 when the policy came into force.
The Child Poverty Action Group is calling for the policy – which it says pushes families into poverty – to be scrapped by the Government.
Department for Work and Pensions figures show that 340 households with three or more children in North Warwickshire were receiving Universal Credit in April, and 240 received Child Tax Credits – 580 in total.
CPAG estimate that this means there are 977 children in families affected by the policy – among 1.2 million across Great Britain.
It says the two-child limit is one of the biggest drivers of rising child poverty, and its impact will intensify as living costs surge.
Alison Garnham, chief executive of the charity, said the first instalment of the £650 cost-of-living emergency payment is not enough to stop the policy pushing families deeper into poverty.
She added: "The two child-limit is piling on the pain for affected families.
"One in 12 children are taking the consequences of this brutal policy – their health, development and well-being are being jeopardised.
"If every child matters – not just some – the policy must be abolished."
The DWP figures reveal that the policy affects 360,000 families nationwide – 59% of which are working households.
CPAG estimates that around one in 14 children in North Warwickshire are impacted by the cut-off – which is below the average across the UK, of one in 12.
Kate Andersen from the Benefit Changes and Larger Families project said the two-child limit causes "serious and significant harms" to all affected young people.
She said: "While parents do all they can to stop children from being impacted by the two-child limit, the policy makes it almost impossible for affected families to meet basic needs.
"The policy creates social and emotion harms, and can increase tensions within the household.
"We know that these harms are likely to have long-term negative consequences for children's physical health, social, behavioural and emotional development, cognitive development and school achievement."
The DWP said over 8 million households on benefits will receive the first instalment of the £650 Cost of Living payment, with millions getting at least £1,200 in extra support.
A spokesman said: “This policy means families on benefits are asked to make the same financial decisions as families supporting themselves solely through work, including considering our comprehensive childcare offer for working parents and child benefit for all children." | https://www.warwickshireworld.com/your-warwickshire/north-warwickshire/almost-1000-north-warwickshire-children-affected-by-two-child-benefits-limit-3772018 | 2022-07-18T12:35:07Z | https://www.warwickshireworld.com/your-warwickshire/north-warwickshire/almost-1000-north-warwickshire-children-affected-by-two-child-benefits-limit-3772018 | false |
Not only are Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle expected to be two of Tua Tagovailoa’s top playmakers, but the Miami Dolphins receivers are also serving as the quarterback’s biggest advocates.
During the latest episode of Hill’s It Needed to be Said podcast that featured Waddle, the Dolphins receivers talked about the improves they’ve seen from Tagovailoa, who was the fifth overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft.
When asked to compare Tagovailoa from the 2021 season, where he produced a 90.1 passer rating after completing 67.8 percent of his passes, throwing for 2,653 yards with 16 touchdowns in the 13 games he played, to the quarterback Miami saw during the offseason work in coach Mike McDaniel’s new offense, Waddle downplayed what Hill believes is a substantial difference.
“They know what Tua is capable of for real,” said Hill, a three-time Pro Bowler who the Dolphins traded a treasure chest of draft picks to acquire from the Kansas City Chiefs this offseason and gave a contract extension that averages $30 million a season.
“That boy looks scary right now,” Waddle said about Tagovailoa, who helped him set a NFL record for most receptions (104) by a rookie last season. “I’m not going to sugarcoat it. It’s him. He’s been that guy since Alabama.
“He’s going to come in consistent accurate, make the throws he’s supposed to do, show out and be a leader. … I been seeing that,” said Waddle, who turned those 104 receptions in 1,015 yards and seven touchdowns last season. “I’m going to be happier when everyone else gets to see what I already know.”
Tagovailoa, who owns a 13-8 record as an NFL starter, is joined by Mac Jones, who went 10-7 as the New England Patriots rookie starter last season, as the only two quarterbacks from the 2019, 2020, and 2021 draft classes that are in possession of a winning record as an NFL starter.
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert, who was taken one pick after Tagovailoa in the 2020 draft, has a 15-17 regular-season record.
Jalen Hurts has a 9-10 record from his time as the Philadelphia Eagles starter past two seasons. But Hurts led the Eagles to the playoffs last season.
Jordan Love, a 2020 first-round pick, serves as Aaron Rodgers’ backup in Green Bay. He has a 0-1 record from his one start with the Packers.
Cincinnati’s Joe Burrow, who was the first pick in the 2020 draft, owns a 12-13-1 record in the regular season. Burrow’s record goes to 15-14-1 when playoff games are factored in considering the Bengals advanced to the Super Bowl last season, where they lost to the Los Angeles Rams.
Even Arizona’s Kyler Murray, the first pick in the 2019 draft, has a 22-23-1 regular season record with the Cardinals. Daniel Jones, the New York Giants starting quarterback, was also a first-round pick in that draft. He owns a 12-25 record for his play the past three seasons.
Dwayne Haskins, a 2019 first-round pick, had a 3-10 record before his untimely passing this spring. And Drew Lock owns a 8-13 record from his tenure with the Denver Broncos. He’s now competing with Geno Smith for the starting spot in Seattle.
Most of the rookie quarterbacks in the 2021 draft — Jacksonville’s Trevor Lawrence (3-14), New York Jets Zach Wilson (3-10), San Francisco’s Trey Lance (1-1), Chicago’s Justin Fields (2-8) — struggled last season. Jones was the only rookie starter who had success.
“You know, in the NFL they only give you like two or three years to be a successful quarterback, especially if you’re a first-round draft pick,” Hill said. “And if you don’t succeed after those years, then it’s kick rocks, man. So, basically, they’re going to put Tua into that. So this is basically his last year, man, just to show people what he’s got.”
While it’s clear Tagovailoa’s third season could help determine whether he is a quarterback worth building around, it may be premature to say this will be his last season to be evaluated as an NFL starter. Tagovailoa has already won more games than he’s lost despite not having a great relationship with former head coach Brian Flores, and Miami possessing one of the worst offensive lines in the NFL the past two seasons, an anemic rushing attack, and a receiver unit decimated by injuries.
This offseason the Dolphins fortified the offensive line by signing Pro Bowler Terron Armstead and veteran starter Connor Williams, changed the running scheme and added three former starting tailbacks. Miami traded for Hill, used the franchise tag on Mike Gesicki, and added Cedrick Wilson Jr. to its receiver unit.
The hope is that the foundation has been laid for Tagovailoa to have success, and possibly lead the Dolphins to the playoffs for the first time since the 2016 season.
“It’s gonna be a lot of people taking their words back on what they said about [Tua],” said Hill, who called Tagovailoa the most accurate quarterback he’s every played with on his first episode of It Needed To Be Said. “I can’t really name point, but I’m saying reporters, analysts, Twitter trolls. All those people are gonna take their words back on what they said about [Tua], and I’m just gonna be sitting there, eating my popcorn.”

Automobile stocks have gotten hit particularly hard this year, and while it is difficult to know the right time to buy, their eventual rebound is likely to be strong.
General Motors (ticker: GM), Ford Motor (F), Stellantis NV (STLA) and Aptiv (APTV), which makes parts for cars, are down 45%, 44%, 36% and 45%, respectively for the year. That is worse than the S&P 500 19% drop. | https://www.barrons.com/articles/gm-ford-auto-stocks-recession-recovery-51657917515 | 2022-07-18T12:43:04Z | https://www.barrons.com/articles/gm-ford-auto-stocks-recession-recovery-51657917515 | false |
(The Hill) – Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), a member of the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, said Sunday that deleted Secret Service texts sent the day before and day of the insurrection will be turned over to the panel by Tuesday.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) alleges that messages from Jan. 5 and Jan. 6, 2021 were erased as part of a planned system migration.
“You can imagine how shocked we were to get the letter from the [DHS] Inspector General saying that he had been trying to get this information and that they had, in fact, been deleted after he’d asked for them,” Lofgren told Martha Raddatz on ABC’s “This Week.”
“I was shocked to hear that they didn’t back up their data before they re-set their iPhones,” the congresswoman added. “That’s crazy. I don’t know why that would be.”
The exact relevance of the Jan. 5 and Jan. 6 texts are unknown, Lofgren said. Initially, officials assured the panel that the erasure included no messages related to the Jan. 6 attacks, but another spokesperson said that some messages were pertinent.
“We need all the texts,” Lofgren said, in order “to get the full picture.”
The committee subpoenaed the Secret Service for the deleted messages Friday and will likely receive the documents Tuesday. A Secret Service spokesperson said the agency has turned 800,000 records over the the committee, the Hill reported last week.
The texts could factor into the committee’s eighth public hearing when it reconvenes on Thursday.
“We hope to go through minute by minute what happened, what didn’t happen on that day, and people can make their own judgment,” Lofgren said of the panel’s plans.
Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) said on Sunday said it would be “quite crazy” if the Secret Service did in fact delete the text messages, adding the circumstances of the missing messages remain to be seen.
“We’re going to know more Tuesday,” he told CBS “Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan. | https://www.ksn.com/news/national-world/deleted-secret-service-texts-to-be-sent-to-jan-6-committee-by-tuesday-lofgren/ | 2022-07-18T12:43:12Z | https://www.ksn.com/news/national-world/deleted-secret-service-texts-to-be-sent-to-jan-6-committee-by-tuesday-lofgren/ | true |
(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.ksn.com/news/national-world/frustrated-democrats-mull-drastic-step-challenging-biden-in-2024/ | 2022-07-18T12:43:27Z | https://www.ksn.com/news/national-world/frustrated-democrats-mull-drastic-step-challenging-biden-in-2024/ | false |

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
- Increases First Mining's M&I resource base in Quebec by +450% and its inferred resource base in Quebec by +150%; increases First Mining's global M&I resource base by +40% and its global inferred resource base by +50%
- Accretive acquisition metrics to First Mining on a per ounce basis
- Consolidates and simplifies highly fragmented and complex ownership structure of the Duparquet Gold Project by combining properties, mineral rights and surface rights ownership under one entity
- Offers potential to significantly improve on 2014 Pre-Feasibility Study completed on the Duparquet Gold Project with development optimization and more robust economics based on an improved gold market environment
- Creates exciting exploration upside potential with additional exploration drilling to expand mineralized zones along strike and at-depth
- Provides platform for further district consolidation in Quebec
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.

Jennifer Lopez may have worn one dress down the aisle, but turns out—there was a second act.
For her Las Vegas wedding to Ben Affleck on July 16—as the singer shared in her On the J.Lo newsletter—she wore a sleeveless white dress with a classic boatneck neckline, revealing that her first look was a "dress from an old movie."
"I've had this dress for so many years," she wrote, referring to her classic ensemble. "And I've just been saving it, saving it, saving it, and now I'm wearing it on my wedding day."
Calling their big day (or should we say night) "the best possible wedding" they could have imagined, J. Lo also thanked the venue—Little White Wedding Chapel—in her newsletter for "letting me use the break room to change while Ben changed in the men's room."
As for her second show-stopping gown? The "On the Floor" singer wore a white lace off-the-shoulder bridal gown from Zuhair Murad's Spring Summer 2023 Bridal Collection.
In addition to the full sleeves, her second gown also included a sweetheart neckline, corset bodice, and fishtail train. (The singer also recently wore a wedding dress from the designer in her romantic comedy film, Marry Me.)
After the two—who tied the knot months after getting engaged for the second time—exchanged vows, the singer couldn't help but gush over the affair.
"We did it," the Marry Me star wrote. "Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient. Exactly what we wanted. Last night we flew to Vegas, stood in line for a license with four other couples, all making the same journey to the wedding capital of the world."

Rory McIlroy is becoming golf’s Aaron Rodgers.
His 8-year long major drought will turn 9 next spring after another narrow miss at The Open.
It’s not like Rory isn’t playing well.
In fact, he’s playing better than anybody.
He posted the lowest aggregate score of any golfer who made the cut at all 4 majors this year.
He never won.
He fired a bogey-free round from the final pairing on Sunday, and still came up short.
The Rodgers’ comparison is simple.
An all-time great talent that burst onto the championship scene early, only to go through an extended drought, leaving us all wondering if he should’ve won more.
It’s not a perfect parallel.
At 38, Rodgers is running out of time.
Rory’s only 33.
In a game that’s far less taxing on the body, he’s got a ton of time, a tremendous attitude, and a positive mindset to grow the game.
You just hope that all the narrow misses don’t crush his belief that he can win a major once again.
When he finally breaks the drought, the pain and agony will make the success that much sweeter…for Rory and for Rodgers. | https://wtmj.com/green-bay-packers/2022/07/18/extra-points-golfs-aaron-rodgers/ | 2022-07-18T12:51:15Z | https://wtmj.com/green-bay-packers/2022/07/18/extra-points-golfs-aaron-rodgers/ | false |
ST CHARLES, Mo. — Most people would try to run away from a robbery situation, but one customer felt called to run toward it.
His courageous effort ended in a deadly shooting, which possibly saved more lives than the one lost.
"Taking somebody's life is not an everyday thing, neither is saving someone's life," the customer, who wished to remain anonymous said.
Those thoughts now consume his mind after not only witnessing an armed robbery Saturday morning at a St. Charles QuikTrip but also stepping in to stop it.
"He grabbed a backpack and ran inside, looking for I guess the clerk. I saw him grab her and drag her to the front to the counter, something wasn't right when I saw that, so me being concealed carry, I had my gun on me and I just waited," the customer said.
The customer saw it all unfold from his car, parked in front of the QT on First Capitol Drive.
"I walked up to the door and I saw him with a knife to her throat. She was emptying out the cash register and I took a step in and peeked my head in to ask if everything was okay. I couldn't see his face but he was saying yes, but I could see her face she was saying no, she was scared," he said.
Police named the robbery suspect 26-year-old Lance Bush from St. Louis City. "I pulled my gun up and I asked him are you sure everything's okay and that's when the suspect said 'no it's not okay, but I got something for you and he grabbed his bag, ran from around the counter and started running towards me and that's when I fired shots," the customer said.
He recalls shooting four times before Bush fell to the floor. Shortly after he told the clerk to call the police, he did as well.
"I don't think I honestly had a choice. He already had a knife at her throat, he could've pulled out something bigger than what I had then you would've had two people dead instead of one," he said.
His previous experience, training with guns and handling emergency situations, made him feel compelled to step in when other customers ran away.
"Instinct I would say. Instinct that's just it. I guess knowing that I'm protected, I can protect somebody else," he said.
He stayed at the scene when police arrived to find Bush shot.
Bush was transported to the hospital and died.
"Every time you second guess if you have to take a life, but you also have to think was it for the greater good and my answer is yes," the customer said.
Police believe Bush is tied to two other armed robberies that happened within the hour earlier that morning.
They found the black SUV he was driving was stolen from Maryland Heights on Friday. The customer was detained and released.
At this time, he says he has not been charged. | https://www.wthr.com/article/news/customer-shot-killed-armed-robber-st-charles-quiktrip-stlouis-missouri/63-bc66b748-2d2d-4c8b-9d5e-d3c431c574f8 | 2022-07-18T12:53:25Z | https://www.wthr.com/article/news/customer-shot-killed-armed-robber-st-charles-quiktrip-stlouis-missouri/63-bc66b748-2d2d-4c8b-9d5e-d3c431c574f8 | false |

Farming: Union calls for more help as production costs soar
By Steffan Messenger
BBC Wales Environment Correspondent
- Published
Farming leaders have called for more financial support for farms struggling with soaring production costs.
The Farmers' Union of Wales (FUW), at the start of the Royal Welsh Show, said farming had been hit by a "tempest".
It also claimed EU countries were doing more to help their farmers.
The Welsh government said it had previously announced £227m over three years to support farmers, while the UK Government said it would not expose UK farmers to unfair competition.
Farmers have warned dramatic increases in the price of animal feed, fuel and fertiliser, driven in part by the war in Ukraine, are threatening to put some Welsh food producers out of business.
Agricultural input costs have risen by almost 30% in the last year, according to the latest Agflation index by consultants at The Anderson Centre. The FUW said this compared with a figure of around 9% for food price inflation.
Meanwhile volumes of Welsh meat and dairy exports had fallen by 23% between 2019 and 2021.
Speaking on the first day of the Royal Welsh show in Llanelwedd, Powys, one of one of Europe's largest agricultural events, the union's president said EU countries had announced packages worth hundreds of billions of pounds to support businesses suffering from massive price rises and to bolster food production.
'Equal footing'
The UK's governments needed to "act now to place UK farmers on an equal footing", Glyn Roberts said.
The governments also needed to provide direct financial assistance and tax breaks for related industries, which were critical to Wales' food production and security.
Mr Roberts also accused the UK Government of agreeing "weak, damaging and valueless" post-Brexit trade deals that would undermine British farmers.
The UK Government's Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) pointed out that agriculture was devolved and that it was working closely with the Welsh government to monitor all key agricultural commodity markets.
"Having left the EU, devolved governments have the freedom to adapt their policies to meet their own context," said Defra.
"In England, we have introduced new schemes to support the choices that individual farmers make for their own holdings and confirmed a package of measures to help farmers as they deal with increased fertiliser and other costs."
People don't have the money and don't want to go out so we're really worried about people's nervousness
At the Penllyn Estate farm near Cowbridge in the Vale of Glamorgan, John Homfray rears cattle, pigs, sheep and chickens, with the produce supplying the on-site farm shop and restaurant.
'Massive inflation'
"The Ukraine war is very worrying. It's created massive inflation throughout the system," he said.
"Red diesel has more than doubled in price, fertiliser has trebled in the last year."
Prices in the farm shop had gone up by 10% as a result, and the restaurant was quieter.
"People don't have the money and don't want to go out so we're really worried about people's nervousness," he said.
The Welsh Conservatives have been calling on ministers in Wales to host a food summit to discuss ways of helping the industry, and to bring forward the date farmers receive their next subsidy payment from December to July.
Rural affairs minister Lesley Griffiths said it was "really important we help our farmers if that help is needed".
But "a lot of the levers" to assist with the cost of living crisis were in the hands of the UK Government, she said.
The Welsh Government had already announced £227m back in April to be offered over three years in support of the rural economy and "we're looking at schemes we have to help them", she added.
Post-Brexit challenges
Farming ministers from all four UK governments are set to meet on the showground this week, where it's understood the current challenges facing the food and farming industries will be on the agenda.
The first big new trade agreement to have been struck since Brexit - with Australia - is set to be ratified this week but MPs on parliament's International Trade Committee have called for a delay to allow for more scrutiny.
In a blistering attack, Mr Roberts claimed the Australia deal and subsequent agreement with New Zealand - a major lamb exporter - had been rushed through "to secure catchy press releases", and could cause "significant damaging impacts" for Welsh farmers.
"If we want to somehow measure how robustly the UK Government has fought for Welsh farming and our food security, it's worth noting that the increase in allowed lamb imports volumes in year one of the UK-New Zealand deal is more than forty times higher per head of population than it is in the recent EU-New Zealand deal agreed in principle," he said.
A Defra spokesperson said: "We have always been clear we will not expose UK farmers to unfair competition or compromise our high standards in trade deals."
Also set to dominate discussion at talks and seminars on the showground is the recently announced outline of a new subsidy scheme for Welsh farmers, which will reward them in future for work to help fight climate change and nature loss.
'Complex issue'
Meanwhile, the First Minister Mark Drakeford will host a summit on Monday on the issue of river pollution.
Representatives from local government, farming unions, the building industry, water companies, regulators and environmental agencies have been invited.
Tougher targets to stop phosphate pollution were brought in on nine Welsh rivers last year, with many areas halting planning decisions for new build homes as a result.
Mr Drakeford said it was "a complex issue and there is no one easy answer - we all have a part to play if we are to reduce the level of phosphorus and tackle the root causes of pollution." | https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-62201611 | 2022-07-18T12:57:20Z | https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-62201611 | false |

SunZia Transmission will enable access to over 3,000 MW of wind power to meet the needs of more than 2.5 million Americans, providing clean, reliable and affordable power across Western states
SunZia Transmission and SunZia Wind together comprise the largest renewable energy infrastructure project in U.S. history with a total investment of over $8 billion; Construction expected to begin in 2023
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. and TUCSON, Ariz., July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Pattern Energy Group LP (Pattern Energy) announced it has acquired the SunZia Transmission project from SouthWestern Power Group, a wholly owned subsidiary of MMR Group, Inc. SunZia Transmission consists of a 550-mile bi-directional ± 525 kV high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission line between central New Mexico and south-central Arizona, with the capacity to transport up to 3,000 MW of clean, renewable energy.
SunZia Transmission previously awarded the full 3,000 MW of capacity on the transmission line to Pattern Energy. Pattern Energy is developing the SunZia Wind project, a 3,000+ MW facility in New Mexico, which will utilize the SunZia transmission line to provide enough safe, affordable, and renewable electricity to power the needs of 2.5 million Americans annually.
SouthWestern Power Group will maintain ownership of a second 500 kV high voltage-alternating current (HVAC) transmission line, El Rio Sol Transmission.
SunZia Transmission and SunZia Wind together comprise the largest renewable energy infrastructure project in U.S. history with a total investment of over $8 billion. Both projects are privately funded and will deliver widespread economic benefits across New Mexico and Arizona.
SunZia Transmission and Pattern Energy have partnered with the New Mexico Renewable Energy Transmission Authority (RETA) on the development of the transmission project in New Mexico. Pattern Energy expects to begin full construction of the SunZia Transmission and SunZia Wind projects in 2023 with the completion of construction and start of operations for SunZia Transmission expected in 2025, and SunZia Wind in early 2026.
"SunZia Transmission will create a clean power superhighway for millions of Americans by opening access to huge, largely-untapped wind energy resources in New Mexico," said Mike Garland, CEO of Pattern Energy. "SunZia is an investment that will empower our clean energy future and generate millions of dollars in economic impact across Arizona and New Mexico. This revolutionary transmission line will be the conduit for the largest wind project in U.S. history, our 3,000+ MW SunZia Wind facility. We are creating and implementing the largest clean energy infrastructure project in American history, demonstrating the vast potential of New Mexico's wind power and the regions' ability to bring large interstate infrastructure to reality."
"As the anchor tenant of SunZia Transmission and a company with significant experience developing and building new transmission in the southwest, Pattern Energy is well-positioned to take SunZia across the finish line," said David Getts, General Manager of SouthWestern Power Group. "SunZia is playing a vital role in decarbonizing our economy by enabling more than 3,000 MW of high-value, well-sited American wind generation to be constructed in New Mexico."
The SunZia Transmission and SunZia Wind projects will create more than 2,000 construction jobs during peak construction. Once operational, up to 150 permanent staff will operate and maintain the projects.
Originally approved in 2015, SunZia Transmission's route was adjusted as a result of collaboration with the Department of Defense and White Sands Missile Range, while also taking advantage of the opportunity to partially parallel the existing Western Spirit Transmission line for 35 miles, minimizing environmental impact along the route. Final project approvals including the BLM Record of Decision are anticipated to be issued by April 2023.
Throughout the development process, SunZia Transmission has worked closely with the public, BLM, landowners, ranchers, and numerous wildlife conservation agencies, including the Audubon Society and Defenders of Wildlife, to conduct extensive environmental analysis and identify the optimal route for the project. Pattern Energy is excited to continue this close coordination.
Pattern Energy has deep expertise in developing complex transmission projects. In December 2021, together with RETA, Pattern Energy completed and sold to Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM) the Western Spirit Transmission line, a 155-mile 345 kV transmission line that is now delivering wind power from Pattern's Western Spirit Wind facilities in central New Mexico to the electric grid managed by PNM near Albuquerque. Western Spirit Wind totals more than 1,050 megawatts (MW) of clean power capacity, enough to meet the electricity needs of 900,000 Americans each year. For more information about SunZia Transmission, Western Spirt Transmission and Pattern's operations in New Mexico, please visit patternenergynewmexico.com.
Pattern Energy is also currently developing additional interstate transmission projects including the Southern Spirit Transmission project, an advanced-stage ± 525kV, 2,000 MW High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) bi-directional transmission line that will connect ERCOT in Texas to the southeast market.
J.P. Morgan Securities LLC acted as exclusive financial advisor to MMR Group, Inc. in connection with the transaction.

“’We need a new dam in Mullaperiyar. The State’s policy is safety of Kerala, water for Tamil Nadu. We are not planning to change that stand,” he said, pointing out that the revised detailed project report (DPR) for the new dam, proposed 1,300 ft downstream of the existing one, is ready. Further steps will be taken in this regard subject to the court’s approval, he said.
Steps will be taken to clean the rivers in the State annually in February and March in a bid to prevent flooding during the monsoons, Mr. Augustine said. Flood-control measures adopted by the government have started yielding results. Thirty-two rivers were desilted and nearly 1 crore m3 silt removed. That no floods were reported during the heavy rainfall over the past weeks justifies the desiltation programme, he added.
He said that the government had decided to adopt permanent measures for coastal protection along 65 km where erosion is particularly severe. This initiative will cost ₹5,400 crore.
The State government has so far provided administrative sanction to works amounting to ₹40,000 crore under the Centrally assisted Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) programme, he said.

(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://www.texomashomepage.com/news/national-news/steve-bannons-trial-over-defying-jan-6-committee-set-to-begin/ | 2022-07-18T13:11:38Z | https://www.texomashomepage.com/news/national-news/steve-bannons-trial-over-defying-jan-6-committee-set-to-begin/ | false |
With the 2022 NFL season fast approaching, the South Florida Sun Sentinel takes a look at 10 storylines to watch for in a 10-part series ahead of the Miami Dolphins’ first day of training camp, which is set for July 27.
Bringing in Mike McDaniel as the Miami Dolphins’ new head coach this offseason was a 180-degree turnaround from the personality of his predecessor, Brian Flores.
McDaniel is incorporating a players’ coach approach that counters the disciplinarian, Belichickean style Flores deployed.
Time will tell if it leads to the franchise taking the next step in reaching the playoffs for the first time since the 2016 season and maybe winning a postseason game for the first time since the 2000 season. After all, Flores did seem to get the most out of his teams, leading the Dolphins to back-to-back winning seasons and, before that, squeezing five wins out of a 2019 roster designed to tank — although maybe he and the franchise weren’t on the same page there. That’s a topic for another day.
McDaniel has come into his first head coaching gig with a clear intent to empower players and instill confidence in them. Nowhere is that more evident than in the approach he has incorporated with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
Everything McDaniel, his coaching staff and players have said publicly about Tagovailoa throughout the offseason has been ultra-positive. Offensive coordinator Frank Smith and quarterbacks coach Darrell Bevell have followed suit with McDaniel, stating they feel Tagovailoa can make all the throws required of him. The biggest outside criticism of Tagovailoa, of course, is that his arm strength limits his ability to throw downfield and squeeze intermediate sideline passes into tight windows.
The Dolphins’ prized offseason acquisition, star wide receiver Tyreek Hill, has led the player charge in fulfilling McDaniel’s wishes of backing up Tagovailoa. Hill has deemed Tagovailoa’s passes pretty, and has gone as far as calling him a more accurate passer than his previous quarterback in Kansas City, Patrick Mahomes, who has maybe been the best in the game in the time they played together.
Hill made those comments that drew a lot of national media backlash on his new podcast that he unveiled this offseason. His voice on this new outlet for him is representative of McDaniel’s first message to Hill upon his arrival in Miami: “Just be you.”
That’s the overriding demeanor that has been seen from players in press conferences through Dolphins organized team activities and minicamp ahead of training camp, which begins on July 26.
Players appear more loose speaking publicly. They’re not uptight in the press-conference setting like in 2021, seemingly afraid that something they let slip will lead to a scolding from Flores.
Tagovailoa has had some of his most open, honest conversations with the media, firing back at “Twitter warriors” that criticize his throws after a practice where he connected on two deep passes to Hill. He has been pointed in noting that he feels greater support from his new coach than he did under Flores.
“I think support, for any of us, means a lot,” Tagovailoa said. “To be able to have the support of the head coach, the head guy, that should tell you a lot.”
Schematically, McDaniel is in Miami to revamp the offense, incorporating what made him a successful offensive coordinator with the San Francisco 49ers in 2021 and run-game coordinator before that.
In San Francisco, McDaniel orchestrated one of the NFL’s top rushing attacks with his wide-zone scheme that was effective no matter who he had carrying the ball out of the backfield.
Sentinel Sports Final
He’ll have some of the tools he needs to replicate it with the Dolphins. The team’s top free-agent addition was left tackle Terron Armstead, a bulldozer of a run blocker. McDaniel can work the Dolphins’ otherwise young line with him and fellow acquisition Connor Williams, a four-year NFL guard who practiced at center in OTAs and minicamp.
The Dolphins have built a committee in the backfield that can have any of a number of backs contribute. Chase Edmonds, over from the Arizona Cardinals, is a dynamic playmaker that can catch the ball out of the backfield. Raheem Mostert, who has played under McDaniel with the 49ers, possesses the elite speed. Sony Michel, making a South Florida homecoming, can be a physical runner. The Dolphins also still have Myles Gaskin and Salvon Ahmed at running back, and Alec Ingold is the lead-blocking fullback that makes the run game whole.
The rushing attack can facilitate Tagovailoa’s throws. Hill and Jaylen Waddle will get open more easily, along with tight end Mike Gesicki and slot receiver Cedrick Wilson. McDaniel’s innovation and creativity offensively can put Miami’s playmakers in unique positions to contribute. And an effective ground game can relieve an offensive line that struggled in pass protection last season from being in so many of those situations.
McDaniel also came to the Dolphins with the mindset of maintaining what worked, the defense. Defensive coordinator Josh Boyer will have to prove he can run that side of the ball on his own, without Flores or defensive backs coach Gerald Alexander, but virtually everything else on last year’s defense that was great the second half of the year remained constant.

SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- It's no secret that quality smart home products not only help us become more efficient in our daily lives but also bring a more comfortable living experience. So it's no surprise that the global smart home market is booming, with more and more consumers looking to upgrade their homes with the latest technology.
The Internet of Things (IoT) has made it possible for users to experience a wide range of smart home settings which were once unimaginable. Now you can turn on the air conditioner in your living room remotely while driving home from work; you can have the lights automatically turned on when you arrive at your doorsteps without pressing a button; before you bake a cake, you can preheat the oven to 180 degrees with voice command. These application scenarios will allow consumers to experience the enhanced quality of life created by smart devices and thus become smart home fans — this is exactly what smart home brands are trying to achieve.
Based on this trend, Tuya Smart (NYSE: TUYA, HKEX: 2391), a leading IoT development platform service provider, launched the BornSmart campaign across social media platforms such as YouTube, LinkedIn, and Twitter. The theme was drawn from the idea that smart devices are "born smart" because of built-in artificial intelligence.

The campaign is joined by Tuya's brand partners around the world and will take place in more than 10 countries, including the U.S., UK, Germany, Spain, Italy, Singapore, India, Thailand, Mexico, and Brazil.
The campaign provides Tuya's global partners with the opportunity to showcase their latest smart home products in their local markets and send a message to the consumers: smart home devices are not nice-to-haves but a smart choice worth investing in.
Tuya Smart will be partnering with influencers from various countries to review smart products through unboxing videos on social media platforms. By following Tuya Smart on LinkedIn and Twitter, viewers can watch the videos to learn about the advantages and highlights of the featured smart products. They will also be able to receive coupons and have a chance to win smart home products by sharing the videos with friends.
The campaign is designed to use social media to create a strong relationship between smart product brands and consumers. By taking part in this campaign, Tuya's partners will be able to reach a wider number of potential consumers directly—particularly the younger generation who are the main shoppers of the future. They will also be able to keep interacting with their target users on social media constantly.
A large number of Tuya Smart's brand partners have participated in the campaign, including global leading companies like Calex (a European lighting brand) , Nedis(EU leading wholesaler offers electronics-related smart solutions across Europe and beyond), Wipro Consumer Care and Lighting (a global Consumer Products company), well-known smart home brands like Lloyd's (Mexico), BARDI (Indonesia), well-known Australian online retailer Kogan, and many others.The participation of these partners has made the campaign a rich and diverse prsentation of smart home products, including lighting, electricians, IPCs, and other best-selling smart home categories.
Furthermore, this campaign will continue to help Tuya Smart's global brand partners to deliver the most cutting-edge smart experience to their consumers. It will also raise awareness of the smart lifestyle, increase brand value, and expand marketing resources for partners along the entire chain, contributing to the common prosperity of the global smart home industry.

Roman Polanski fled L.A. for Europe in after judge privately reneged on his promise not to jail him for raping 13-year-old girl: Prosecutors revisit the case 45 years later as movie director fights to finally bring it to a close
- Polanski fled L.A. on the eve of his sentencing in 1978 in fear that he would be jailed for up to 50 years
- Judge Laurence Rittenband had initially promised to sentence him to probation but then reneged at the last minute
- He said he would jail him for 120 days, but Polanski didn't trust him after two broken promises
- Polanski has long claimed that he was the victim of judicial misconduct
- The newly-unsealed transcript of testimony from the case's prosecutor, Roger Gunson, supports his claim and vilifies the judge
- Gunson tried to have Rittenband removed from the case because he felt he was behaving improperly
- Rittenband died in 1993 after vowing to stay on the bench until Polanski returned to the US to face sentencing
Roman Polanski fled Los Angeles for France in 1978 on the eve of his sentencing for raping a 13-year-old girl after the judge in the case privately reneged on a promise not to jail him, unsealed documents from the 45-year-old case have revealed.
Polanski, 88, was found to have had sex with 13-year-old Samantha Geimer at Jack Nicholson's house in 1977. She told police that he gave her a sedative then forced her into sex, and her mother later reported it to police.
In 1978, he was due to be sentenced to probation by Judge Laurence Rittenband but at the last minute, discovered the judge planned to instead jail him for up to 120 days.
Rittenband, who died in 1993, said he had been influenced by the media and needed to be tougher on the then 45-year-old movie director.
Frightened that Rittenband would in fact sentence him to longer than 120 days, Polanski fled to France. He has remained in Europe ever since, fighting off effort to have him sentenced in absentia or extradited to the US as a fugitive.
For decades, the case has been ringfenced by prosecutors in the L.A. District Attorney's office.
It is now being revisited with the support of the current DA George Gascón, who is best known for his woke, soft-on-crime prosecutorial style. Gascon last week announced that key documents from the case should be unsealed, siding with journalists who had requested as much from an appeals court and even with Polanski's victim.
Roman Polanski, now 88, (shown in Poland, left, in 2018) says he was lied to by Judge Laurence J. Rittenband (right) and that he is why he went on the run. Rittenband, who died in 1993, told the actor's legal team he would jail him for up to 120 days after initially promising not to jail him at all
The newly unsealed documents are hundreds of pages of testimony by former Deputy District Attorney Roger Gunson, the prosecutor who tried Polanski.
He gave the testimony in 2010 at the request of Polanski's legal team. The transcript was unsealed on Sunday night following a request from Hollywood journalists Sam Wasson and William Rempel.
Gunson's testimony seems to confirm Polanski's claim that the judge behaved improperly and shows how almost everyone involved - the prosecutors, Polanski and the victim - were dissatisfied.
'The judge had promised him on two occasions... something that he reneged on.
Samantha Geimer, 13, told police that Polanski spiked her champagne and forced her into having sex with him at Jack Nicholson's house in 1977
'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,' Gunson said.
He testified that Rittenband took advice on the case from 'all over the place', being easily influenced by the media and celebrities.
Gunson even tried to have him recused but his request was shot down by his superiors.
He said that it was wrong for Rittenband to renege on his promise of a light sentence, but that it was wrong to have offered Polanski the deal in the first place.
He also testified about other flaws in the investigation.
According to him, police officers who went to Nicholson's home were caught taking photographs with the actor's Oscars.
Polanski's attorneys are fighting for him to be sentenced in absentia in order to end his current status as a fugitive. Their goal is for him to be handed a time served sentence.
Geimer, who won $600,000 from Polanski in a civil settlement, wants the case to be dropped.
She previously 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.
She didn´t fight him because she was afraid of him but her mother later called police.
Judge Rittenband is shown discussing the case against Polanski with journalists in 1978. He died in 1993 after vowing to stay on the bench until Polanski was brought back to the US to be sentenced
When she refused to testify in court, Polanski pleaded guilty to unlawful sex with a minor in exchange for prosecutors dropping drug, rape and sodomy charges.
Rittenband sent Polanski to state prison in 1978 for 90 days.
He spent 42 days there for a psychiatric evaluation, and received a recommendation from the prison that the film director should not serve any additional time.

Gunson, the prosecutor, wrote that Rittenband thought the recommendation was 'whitewash' and told Polanski's team he would sentence him to 120 days in prison, but would get him out sooner.
Gunson acknowledged during his testimony that the judge had discretion to sentence Polanski up to 50 years because there had been no agreed-upon sentence.
Fearing the worst, Polanski fled.
Rittenband, who also presided over the divorce between Elvis and Priscilla Presley, vowed to stay on the bench until the director returned to the US.
He retied eventually in 1989 and died four years later.
The L.A. District Attorney's Office has long resisted revisiting the case or making any of the documents public.
In the past, prosecutors have cited Geimer as their reason for the secrecy, despite her repeated requests to unseal the documents and dismiss the case.
In 2017, she traveled from her home in Hawaii to Los Angeles 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.
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.
Last month, she implored Gascon to agree to the documents being unsealed.
In a statement last week, he agreed.
'This case has been described by the courts as one of the longest-running sagas in California criminal justice history. For years, this office has fought the release of information that the victim and public have a right to know,' he said.
The California Appeals Court then ordered the documents to be made public. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11024053/Ex-prosecutor-US-judge-planned-renege-Polanski-deal.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | 2022-07-18T13:15:10Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11024053/Ex-prosecutor-US-judge-planned-renege-Polanski-deal.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | false |
Amid Russia’s shelling of Ukraine, Zelenskyy seeks to strengthen ranks
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, 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?’

Jack the lad's comeuppance! Rogue male lion called Jack is savaged by rival big cats after venturing too close to female in their pride
- Lion named Jack approached a sister but was quickly warned off by her brothers and rivals in South Africa
- A fierce battle ensued as the lions clashed, baring their teeth at each other in the dramatic images
- Jack was recently introduced to the group to widen the gene pool and challenge the dominant male lions
A rogue lion's pride was wounded when his advances on a lioness prompted her brothers to confront him in a vicious fight, dramatic photos show.
The cocksure predator named Jack was pounced on by a gang of male lions at the Shamwari Private Game Reserve in South Africa.
Images show how Jack approached the female lion but was immediately surrounded by her brothers in a tense stand-off.
The group then started to attack him, savagely using their powerful jaws and strength to scare him off. Jack was uninjured after the fierce encounter.
André Pflaum, 45, captured the incredible moment, saying: 'After this action, I needed a minute to get over it.

André Pflaum, 45, captured the incredible moment, saying: 'After this action, I needed a minute to get over it'
'A male youngster was not amused that his sister was interested in Jack. The Southern male in charge attacked Jack from behind, whilst Jack was dealing with his son.
'Jack was chased away because they were too many others and the Southern male in charge was too dominant and experienced.'
André said he is often terrified by his proximity to the fearsome animals who displayed their aggression when fighting off Jack.
He said: 'To sit on an open vehicle, sometimes even without a roof and under a meter away from a big cat, the first time I was really scared.
Jack was introduced to the group to bring in new genes and to challenge the other lions and his actions clearly brought a rise from them
After the tense encounter, Jack ran away, outnumbered by the other lions who were fighting him off their sister
Jack's appearance caused controversy because of his perceived inferior strength compared to others in the area
Many locals feared that Jack wasn't strong enough to fend for himself or hunt food due to being less physically strong than the other males
Luckily, Jack (pictured sleeping after the fight) has since made contact with the central pride, forming an unusual coalition with a young male
'Even on walking safaris, you need to be always alerted and need to show your respect for wildlife.'

'Nomadic lions do have more challenges in getting their food because lions usually hunt in a perfect choreography as a pride,' said André. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11024169/Rogue-male-lion-savaged-rival-big-cats-venturing-close-female-pride.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | 2022-07-18T13:15:16Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11024169/Rogue-male-lion-savaged-rival-big-cats-venturing-close-female-pride.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | true |

LUXEMBOURG and BASEL, Switzerland, July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- FORTY51 Ventures today announced the closing of FORTY51 Ventures I, raising USD 43 Million in its first close.
FORTY51's core strategy focuses on company formation and early stage investments in Biotech with geographic emphasis on Switzerland, France and Germany. FORTY51 Ventures will lead or co-lead early rounds (Seed and Series A) of its growing portfolio which will include both academic and Pharma spin-outs.
In addition, FORTY51 Ventures announces its first investment in Mosanna Therapeutics, a newly created company that pursues the development of a small molecule developed by Sanofi S.A. (Paris, France) to address patients' needs suffering from metabolic obstructive sleep apnea.
The fund is advised by a complementary founding team of three industry veterans, Sara Núñez-García, Sascha Oliver Bucher and Tamás Schweighoffer, who bring a deep network and decades of drug development, transactions and venture expertise.
In addition, Peter van Vlasselaer, Bill Symonds, Jonathan Knowles, Hans Schikan and Darren Ji will support FORTY51 Ventures as Industry advisors who will lend deep expertise to the growing family of entrepreneurs. Alan S. Roemer will advise the fund as Strategic Partner in the US.
FORTY51 Ventures is anchored by a strong institutional investor syndicate with Stable Asset Management, as well as the Fischli Family. Seasoned Biotech entrepreneurs and private individuals also participated in the first close of the fund.
"We are incredibly excited to bring FORTY51 Ventures to life with the goal of supporting company creation and early stage Biotech in the European market, where we see unprecedented innovation yet a lack of venture builders" commented the founders.
Erik Serrano-Berntsen, Founder and CEO of Stable Asset Management mentioned "FORTY51 Ventures brings true company building to Europe's exciting Biotech scene and leverages a unique arbitrage opportunity with their reach into the US. I have not come across a truly differentiating investment strategy in Biotech coupled with such a highly complementary skillset among the founding Partners - Sara's scientific and investment expertise, Tamas's experience in bringing early programs into the clinic, and Sascha's ability in building and transacting businesses - we are extremely proud to help bring FORTY51 Ventures to its first close".
Walter Fischli, Biotech entrepreneur and investor commented "From personal experience, I know the great yet largely untapped, investment opportunity that exists in Biotech in Switzerland and its neighboring countries. It requires a very experienced team with the ability to focus on early stage companies being able to provide a clear development path for the assets – given the great prospects of FORTY51, I am very excited to become one of the anchor investors in their first fund ".
FORTY51 Ventures Fund I SCSp, FIAR is domiciled in Luxembourg. Legal and tax advice were provided by Dechert LLP (Luxembourg), Barnes & Thornburg LLP (USA) and Vischer (Switzerland).

SAN FRANCISCO and NEW YORK, July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Dragonfly Capital ("Dragonfly"), a global crypto-focused investment firm, announced today the addition of a liquid platform.
Dragonfly launched its inaugural liquid crypto fund in June 2021, which is managed by Kevin Hu, Ashwin Ramachandran, and Lawrence Diao. According to Dragonfly, as of April 2022, the liquid investment platform raised more than $450 million including internal capital and SPVs.
Kevin Hu, Partner and Head of the Liquid Platform, said "We believe that the current market environment is especially attractive for liquid crypto assets as the market is not distinguishing between quality assets and vaporware. Tokens with cash flow and governance rights to products with significant traction are down just as much as many zombie assets with no future. Furthermore, we believe most of the capital in crypto is allocated to privates/venture, so there is a lack of dedicated capital and ability to underwrite altcoins once they become liquid. We believe this is creating massive dislocation and long-term opportunities as many liquid assets are trading well below their previous private rounds."
Lawrence Diao added, "During the 2018-2020 bear market, there were doubts whether crypto was here to stay. This time around we see a much stronger belief in the future. While it is still early, protocols are getting organic traction and impacting real world behavior, top tier tech and finance talent are entering this space at a blistering pace and institutional capital is trickling into the industry."
"Dragonfly has always differentiated itself by its global approach to investing. We aim to capture venture-like returns in a liquid vehicle by building a highly concentrated portfolio and then actively partnering with founders, engaging the community, participating in governance, and providing utility onchain," added Ashwin Ramachandran. "We will continue investing in crypto infrastructure, decentralized protocols, and breakthrough consumer applications, as well as the proliferation of NFTs, gaming, and DAOs."
Dragonfly Capital partners with crypto founders in all stages of development, from seed to Series D, to liquid tokens. With a global team, Dragonfly focuses on working closely with founders to solve their most pertinent problems on tech, product and go to market. Since its inception in 2018, Dragonfly has established a strong track record and invested in some of the largest and most influential crypto projects, including Avalanche, NEAR Protocol, 1inch, Bybit, Compound, dYdX, MakerDAO, and Matter Labs.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Evergreen Nephrology is proud to announce they have joined the Living Donor Circle of Excellence. This program, an initiative from the American Society of Transplantation (AST), celebrates employers who implement internal policies that provide salary support to their employees who choose to be a living organ donor.
Heather Wasielewski-Lopez, Evergreen's Chief People Officer, knows firsthand what its like to have a loved one going through the transplant process. "Organ donation is such a powerful gift. At Evergreen Nephrology, part of our mission is to increase the number of people who are able to receive organ transplants, who are living with chronic kidney disease. My younger brother was fortunate enough to be given the gift of a transplanted kidney from my older brother, and to receive support from his place of employment. As an organization we strive to offer support to our employees and alleviate stress for families as they journey through the transplant process."
Evergreen's Chief Medical Officer, Nephrologist Stanley Crittenden said, "As an organization, Evergreen is committed to transforming kidney care by providing high quality care and outcomes to people living with kidney disease. Too many people living with kidney disease lose their independence and die on the kidney transplant waiting list. The challenge for us, then, is to increase the number of living organ donors and this is where we are putting our mission into action. I am excited that Evergreen is now offering our employees paid leave if they choose to become living organ donors. I believe this is our moment to set the new standard, and we are proud to support our employees who will give the gift of life."
John Gill, MD, Founder of the Living Donor Circle of Excellence said, "Living donors are heros amongst us, their gift is life-saving for patients in need of a kidney or liver transplant and has a huge positive impact on society. Patients facing life-threatening diseases are able to live normal lives, raise their families, and participate in their communities. By supporting living organ donors, we are also building stronger communities."
Today, more than 100,000 patients are waiting for a life-saving kidney or liver transplant. Of the transplants performed in 2021, living donors accounted for 24% of kidney transplants and 6% of liver transplants. Financial disincentives are a barrier for many potential living organ donors. Living organ donation typically includes a four- to six-week recovery period and many will use their vacation time or take unpaid absences during this period to donate.
The Circle encourages other employers to follow Evergreen Nephrology to help others in need of life-saving organ transplants. You can learn more about AST's Living Donor Circle of Excellence here.
About Evergreen Nephrology

In addition to providing high quality healthcare and strategic partnerships, Evergreen intends to launch a Medicare Advantage Plan in 2023.
About the American Society of Transplantation
Founded in 1982, the American Society of Transplantation (AST) is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization dedicated to advancing the field of transplantation and improving patient care by promoting research, education, advocacy, organ donation, and service to the community. The society is the largest transplant organization in North America (consisting of more than 4,000 professional members) and is recognized as the premier society for transplantation. AST members are sought out as transplant experts and advocates. Other transplant organizations, policy makers, regulatory agencies, payors, academic institutions, and the general public look to the AST for guidance, research, and resources related to transplantation.

HANGZHOU, China, July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Broncus Medical (02216.HK) has completed surgeries on the first group of patients using its InterVapor®(including InterVapor Generator and InterVapor Catheter, the "InterVapor®"), after it was approved for marketing in China. This marked the official entry of InterVapor® into the clinical commercialization phase in China and is expected to benefit patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ("COPD"). The surgeries were completed by teams of professionals led by Professor Long Fa of the Department of Respiratory, Shenzhen Hospital, University of Chinese Academy of Science; and Professor Ouyang Haifeng of the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, Chest Hospital, Xi'an International Medical Center Hospital, respectively.
The Company's self-developed InterVapor® was granted approval by the National Medical Products Administration of China (the "NMPA") in March 2022. This is the first NMPA-approved thermal vapor energy ablation systems in China and in the world for the treatment of COPD. InterVapor® is a minimally invasive interventional lung volume reduction product that can achieve sequential staged treatment by targeting the lung segments, thereby leading to a new era of interventional pulmonary in China. The Company has obtained an exclusive patent for the use of thermal vapor for pulmonary treatments with a state-of-the-art technology.
During the course of the surgeries, InterVapor® delivered thermal vapor bronchoscopically to the targeted lung segment and transmitted energy through air convection, which overcomes the traditional obstacles of energy transmission due to the high air content in the lungs, and hence treating severely diseased lung segments. This method of treatment significantly improves the quality of life and lung function of patients and their exercise tolerance while preserving more healthy lung tissues.
COPD is a common chronic respiratory disease and the world's third leading cause of death. According to Frost Sullivan, in 2021, there were approximately 226 million COPD patients worldwide, and at least 106 million of COPD patients in China, and the 5-year survival rate of advanced COPD patients is less than 20%. Currently, the treatment strategy of COPD is still based on drug treatment, which can delay the disease progression to a certain extent, but for severe and acutely severe patients, the effect of drug treatment is very limited. By comparing with the other treatment methods, InterVapor®-based treatment technology is highly innovative and represents a breakthrough, clinically proven to be effective and safe, and fills the gap for treatment of patients with severe emphysema. Currently, InterVapor® has been approved for marketing in major European countries, including the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, and in Asia Pacific, 12 countries in total. The clinical data of STEP-UP trial (Sequential Segmental Treatment of Emphysema With Upper Lobe Predominance Trial) showed significant improvement in patients lung function and improved the quality of life in patients treated with Broncuchoscopic Thermal Vapor Ablation (BTVA) compared to standard treatment of a 12-month follow-up. Such treatment was included in the Guidelines of Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD). for four consecutive years from 2019 to 2022, which is recommended for patients with severe and acutely severe emphysema. In 2019, InterVapor® was awarded the "Breakthrough Device" designation by the U.S. FDA.

(The Hill) – A top White House energy advisor on Sunday said gas prices could soon fall below $4 per gallon on average.
Amos Hochstein told CBS’ “Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan he expects the national average of $4.53 per gallon to come down and inch closer to $4 per gallon in the coming weeks.
Hochstein, the senior adviser of energy security to the Biden administration, said many gas stations were already selling has at less than $4 per gallon.
“This is the fastest decline rate that we’ve seen against a major increase of oil prices during a war in Europe, where one of the parties in the war is the third-largest producer in the world,” said Hochstein, referring to Russia. “These are extraordinary circumstances.”
President Biden has seen his overall job approval ratings fall below 40 percent as Americans face record high gas prices and the highest overall inflation in decades.
Biden is releasing one million barrels of oil a day from a national stockpile to help ease prices and has called for Congress to suspend the federal gas tax, though the request has gained little traction.
Last week, the president traveled to Saudi Arabia, an influential member of the oil-producing alliance OPEC+, to discuss efforts to stabilize the global energy market.
While he did not secure an immediate deal to increase production, Biden said he was optimistic that negotiations in the coming weeks would be fruitful.
Hochstein said on Sunday that OPEC has room to produce more oil. | https://www.kark.com/news/national-news/gas-could-soon-fall-below-4-a-gallon-on-average-says-biden-energy-advisor/ | 2022-07-18T13:25:03Z | https://www.kark.com/news/national-news/gas-could-soon-fall-below-4-a-gallon-on-average-says-biden-energy-advisor/ | true |
Real-time AI platform proven to increase ROI, drive better customer experience, generate greater productivity and higher job satisfaction for call center agents; Laivly also integrates seamlessly across the entire tech stack without the use of backend APIs
WINNIPEG, MB, July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Laivly, a market leader in AI and automation for contact centers, today announced the launch of its attended AI platform. Designed to easily and quickly modernize call centers at scale, Laivly turns real-time intelligence into real-time action that drives higher contact center productivity, increases ROI and delivers better customer experience. Laivly sits on an agent's desktop adding automation to help each agent perform tasks lightning fast, while the integrated AI serves up the workflows of the most successful agents to the whole team. The result is a faster, smarter, more accurate and more efficient contact center — where human agents can spend more time delivering exceptional customer experiences and less time wrestling with technology. View a short video of how Laivly works here.
The Laivly platform adds a layer of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and automation to any existing technology or across the entire tech stack to streamline workflows, analyze customers on the fly and guide agents to the best possible outcomes. Additionally, Laivly's tailored orchestration layer seamlessly ties the entire tech stack together — without the use of back-end APIs — making integration instant and simple for IT teams.
Founded in July 2017 as a spin out of global customer care leader 24-7 Intouch, Laivly has been quietly building its AI-powered contact center technology and carefully selecting early customers in preparation for a wider launch. Laivly's technology is already being used by top Fortune 500 companies in the e-commerce, technology and CPG sectors. Early adopters of Laivly's technology are already achieving a 50% to 300% return on investment, depending on the use case. Most brands save money in under a year and also greatly improve the overall customer experience. Additionally, in an industry where up to 75% of contact center employees experience burnout, and the turnover rate is close to 40%, brands who adopt Laivly's technology stand to increase the job longevity of their contact center staff.
Laivly's platform is designed to address the needs of contact center agents. It makes an agent's life easier by not just recommending actions to assist a customer but also performing those actions. The result is a consistent customer experience for every agent, a reduction in the technical load on the customer service associate, and agents who are able to devote more of their attention to providing empathetic service. According to a recent study by Laivly, 88.5% of agents currently using the tool said it was 'helpful' or 'very helpful' in delivering a better customer experience. Further, 78% of agents said they would be 'disappointed' or 'very disappointed' if they had to do their job without Laivly, demonstrating a clear product-market fit.
"Laivly represents a significant leap forward for call centers worldwide," said Jeff Fettes, CEO and founder of Laivly and co-founder of 24-7 Intouch. "There hasn't been a meaningful change in call center technology or work in more than a decade, and customer service has suffered as a result. Laivly's platform changes all of this with a tool that improves customer care and call center jobs almost overnight — ultimately leading to happier customers, call center agents and companies."
Laivly transforms call centers in the following ways:
- Simplified Process: Laivly automates workflows to improve accuracy and save time. It learns how the most successful agents do their jobs and uses that to improve work company-wide.
- Easy Integration: Laivly's orchestration layer allows for instant integration with any system, making it a nimble performance tool that can drive results.
- Performs Simple Tasks: The platform's AI-powered thinking doesn't just suggest the next best actions; it can perform them for an agent, creating a consistent customer experience.
- Tools Right on the Desktop: Laivly's agent assist tool lives directly on the desktop. Laivly's low-profile interface borrows the best aspects of a unified desktop, but still allows agents to work directly on native applications.
According to analysts at Forrester, two of the biggest priorities for customer service should be "future proofing" the technology stack as well as building a human centered contact center. Both of these priorities align with Laivly's mission.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Rev. Steven Marsh never thought he would see the day his church in Laguna Woods, California — a town of 16,500 populated largely by retirees — would be spending $20,000 a month for security.
Then a gunman opened fire on May 15 during a luncheon at Geneva Presbyterian Church, where Marsh is senior pastor, killing one and injuring five other members of a Taiwanese congregation that met there. Officials said the man, who was motivated by political hatred against Taiwan, chained the church’s doors shut and hid firebombs inside before shooting at the gathering of elderly church members.
Houses of worship are meant to be places of shelter, reflection and peace, where strangers are welcome. But the recent string of high-profile mass shootings in the U.S. is a reminder violence can happen anywhere, prompting some faith leaders to ramp up security.
At Geneva Presbyterian, armed security guards now stand watch every weekday and during Sunday services. The church also is adding more security cameras, developing an active shooter plan and applying for Department of Homeland Security funding.
“We’re not trying to militarize the church,” Marsh said. “We prayed about it and made a decision to have armed security as an act of faith.”
Without the new security measures, Marsh predicted that a mass exodus by the congregation and the schools on the church’s campus would have followed the shooting.
Creating a space that is both safe and welcoming is possible, said Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker, the former spiritual leader of Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville, Texas.
In January, he and three others were taken hostage by a pistol-wielding man during a Shabbat service. Cytron-Walker threw a chair at the gunman — a courageous act that helped them safely escape — after a nearly 11-hour standoff. He credits the several rounds of active shooter training he has taken.
“When you are unable to run away or find a hiding place, you need to find a way to act and to fight back,” Cytron-Walker said. “When we were most afraid he was going to kill us, I saw a moment I had been looking for all day long.”
Cytron-Walker now leads Temple Emanuel in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. As he works on a security plan with his new congregation, he is being mindful of how a welcoming synagogue can enhance safety “because someone who wants to do harm can see that they are not going to be able to walk in anonymous.”
Historically, sanctuaries have been vulnerable to violent attacks — from bombings at Black churches during the Civil Rights era to more recent shootings in the U.S. at mosques and Sikh gurdwaras. In the U.S., FBI hate crime statistics show that incidents in churches, synagogues, temples and mosques increased 34.8% between 2014 and 2018.
“All faiths are under attack in America by radicals and extremists,” said Alon Stivi, a security consultant for synagogues, Jewish community centers and day schools. Some congregants are reticent to show up.
“They’re asking a lot more questions: ‘Should I come to the weekly services or just come for the holidays? And if I come, should I bring my kids?’”
Religious leaders who once preferred to leave security in the hands of the divine are taking precautions that seemed unthinkable years prior, Stivi said. More congregants are carrying concealed handguns to services, too, he said.
From $25 million in 2016 to $180 million last year, the federal government has steadily increased the amount of funding it sets aside to help the faith community with security costs, Stivi said. But not all faith leaders are aware they can apply for it, he said.
Past attacks on houses of worship and other public spaces have prompted faith leaders to evaluate — sometimes for the first time — if there is more that can be done to keep their flocks safe.
Today an armed police officer watches over Sunday services at Mt. Zion African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina, said the Rev. Kylon Middleton, who leads the congregation. When an officer is unable to be on campus for church events, members carrying concealed weapons keep watch.
“It is sad, but we are in such times where we must have armed security to protect our people,” he said.
The church is two blocks away from Emmanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church. In 2015, a self-proclaimed white supremacist opened fire during Bible study and killed nine worshippers, including the senior pastor. Middleton said the late pastor was like a brother to him.
In the wake of the massacre, security discussions at Mt. Zion factor worship style into the equation, including the need for some to always keep their eyes open, especially when most have theirs closed in prayer, Middleton said.
“No one ever thought mass shootings would happen in churches, which are sacred sanctuaries where you can escape the world and seek spiritual refuge,” he said. “When that space has been violated, it creates a restlessness of spirit.”
After the 2018 massacre at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, Rabbi Jon Leener met with local New York police to discuss safety for Base BKLYN, his home-based ministry that has welcomed thousands.
For years, he and his wife, Faith, would unlock their front door right before Shabbat dinners, believing in a Judaism where no door is shut or locked. That changed after Tree of Life — the deadliest antisemitic attack in U.S. history. Leener also installed a security camera and a buzz-in system for visitors. He hired an armed guard after this year’s hostage situation in Texas.
“It’s terribly unfortunate that we live in an age when we need to compromise our value of openness for the threat of violence, but that is just the reality at the moment,” Leener said.
It is a balancing act for many. Marsh said the shooting in his church happened because members of the Taiwanese congregation were welcoming to the shooter — a person they didn’t know.
“The church needs to be welcoming to all people, and we cannot lose that,” he said.
“Are there ways an active shooter could get on our campus again? Yes. But we have to be willing to have this happen again. Otherwise, we would all have to go through metal detectors. It would no longer be a church.”

LA TESTE-DE-BUCH, France (AP) — A heat wave broiling Europe spilled northward Monday to Britain, where authorities warned of possible record temperatures, and fueled ferocious wildfires in France, which scrambled water-bombing planes and hundreds of firefighters to battle flames spreading through tinder-dry forests.
In Spain, two people were killed in blazes that the country’s prime minister linked to global warming, saying: “Climate change kills.”
In both France and Spain, fierce heat fueled the fires — part of a wall of high temperatures moving across Europe, touching even places like Britain, where officials have issued the first-ever extreme heat warning. The country’s weather service forecast that the record high of 38.7 degrees Celsius (101.7 degrees Fahrenheit), set in 2019, could be shattered.
“Forty-one isn’t off the cards,” said Met Office CEO Penelope Endersby. “We’ve even got some 43s in the model, but we’re hoping it won’t be as high as that.”
French forecasters also warned of possible record temperatures as swirling hot winds complicated firefighting efforts in the country’s southwest.
Authorities there started evacuating more towns, moving out another 3,500 people at risk of finding themselves in the path of the raging flames that have already seared 140 square kilometers (54 square miles) of pine forests and other vegetation. That will take the number who have been forced out of their homes in the Gironde region to around 20,000 since the wildfires began July 12.
The regional fire service chief, Marc Vermeulen, described the burning forests as “a powder keg” and said tree trunks were shattering as flames consumed them, sending burning embers into the air and further spreading the blazes.
“The fire is literally exploding,” he said. “We’re facing extreme and exceptional circumstances.”
Three additional planes were sent to join six others already fighting the fires, scooping up seawater into their tanks and making repeated runs through dense clouds of smoke, the Interior Ministry said Sunday night.
More than 200 reinforcements headed to join the 1,500-strong force of firefighters battling night and day to contain the blazes in the Gironde, where flames neared prized vineyards and the Arcachon maritime basin famed for its oysters and beaches.
Spain, meanwhile, reported a second fatality in two days as it battled its own blazes. The body of a 69-year-old sheep farmer was found Monday in the same hilly area where a 62-year-old firefighter died a day earlier when he was trapped by flames in the northwestern Zamora province. More than 30 forest fires around Spain have forced the evacuation of thousands of people and blackened 220 square kilometers (85 square miles) of forest and scrub.
Heat waves and drought tied to climate change have made wildfires harder to fight. Scientists say climate change will continue to make weather more extreme and wildfires more frequent and destructive.
“Climate change kills,” Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said Monday during a visit to the Extremadura region, where firefighters tackled three major blazes. “It kills people, it kills our ecosystems and biodiversity.”
Teresa Ribera, Spain’s minister for ecological transition, described her country as “literally under fire” as she attended talks on climate change in Berlin.
She warned of “terrifying prospects still for the days to come” — after more than 10 days of temperatures over 40 C (104 F), cooling only moderately at night.
According to Spain’s Carlos III Institute, which records daily temperature-related fatalities, 237 deaths were attributed to high temperatures from July 10 to 14. That was compared to 25 heat-related deaths the previous week.
The heat wave in Spain is forecast to ease on Tuesday, but the respite will be brief as temperatures rise again on Wednesday, especially in the dry western Extremadura region.
In Portugal, much cooler weather Monday helped fire crews make progress against blazes. More than 600 firefighters attended four major fires in northern Portugal.

SHENZHEN, China, July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- On July 18, commercial service robots producer Pudu Robotics unveiled its newest offering, the all-new PuduBot 2. Featuring a range of upgrades, this new generation of universal delivery robots offers better environment adaptability, stronger sensors, higher battery power capacity, and superior stability to the very successful first-generation PuduBot launched in 2017.
A relay of classic, the PuduBot 2 is an enhanced version of PuduBot. It is more adaptable, with a high-performance lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery that can provide up to 24 hours of operational battery life on a three-hour charge. The battery is also safer and has a longer lifespan, making it a more sustainable and environmentally responsible option. In addition to the increased sustainability, the PuduBot 2 also comes with an upgraded industry-leading chassis system that increases driving stability by 30 percent.
The PuduBot 2 is equipped with the company's self-developed PUDU SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) technology. It features an industry-first fusing laser and visual positioning navigation technology, as well as marker-less deployment, which cuts deployment time by 75 percent without the need to redecorate ceilings and ensures stable operation even in high-ceilinged environments of up to 20 meters. Moreover, the PuduBot 2 has dual lidar (laser imaging, detection, and range) sensors that allow it to constantly and accurately visualize its surroundings and make intuitive course adjustments.
With Pudu Robotics' self-developed PUDU OS, users can use an intuitive toolkit to design mapping paths and directions for their PuduBot 2 fleet and keep track of each robot's whereabouts at all times by using the smart-watch app. Each PuduBot 2 can communicate with not only users but also other nearby devices, automatically calibrating the best pathing for increased efficiency and flow over the shared network.
Since its inception, Pudu Robotics has been continuously optimizing its products, enriching the service space, and expanding application scenarios. The PuduBot 2, with its ability to move around smoothly and self-reliantly with great accuracy in mixed environments, a longer battery life, and a 7-layer adjustable tray design, can adapt to a variety of service or delivery tasks in industrial facilities, leisure and entertainment venues, retail stores, supermarkets and more, making it a robot that actually improves the efficiency of human production and living.

Whic is best: metal, wooden or upholstered bed frames?
In pursuit of a good night’s sleep, mattresses get most of the focus, but your choice of bed frame is also crucial. When you’re trying to decide which type of bed frame is right for you, it can be tough to choose between metal, wooden and upholstered bed frames.
Metal bed frames are strong yet lightweight, but they’re more prone to creaking. Wooden bed frames can be extremely durable, but there are plenty of cheap, flimsy options that are best to avoid. Upholstered bed frames have soft headboards that are great for sitting up to read or watch TV in bed, but they’re difficult to clean.
Metal bed frames
Metal bed frames come in various styles and are generally painted, with black and white being the most commonly found colors. While they often come with headboards, some contemporary styles do not include them.
Generally an affordable choice, most metal bed frames cost $100-$400, although some elaborate options can cost more.
Metal bed frame pros
- Metal bed frames are reasonably lightweight, so if you want to move the position of your bed, it should be light enough to pick up and move easily.
- Although you can encounter some cheap, flimsy options, you don’t need to spend as much on a metal bed frame to get a durable option compared to wood or upholstered bed frames.
- It’s easy to wipe metal bed frames clean if you spill anything on them, and there’s no chance of them getting damaged by woodworm or termites.
Metal bed frame cons
- Metal bed frames are more likely to be squeaky than wooden or upholstered options, so you’ll need to tighten any screws and bolts semi-regularly to help avoid this.
- While it’s possible to find traditional-looking metal bed frames, they tend towards a modern appearance that doesn’t go with all decor styles.

Wooden bed frames
Wooden bed frames can be solid wood or engineered wood, such as MDF or particle board, with a wood veneer or laminate outer layer. Depending on their material and design, wooden bed frames can vary widely in quality, from the highest quality wooden bed frames that could last hundreds of years to flimsy particleboard options that don’t feel sturdy even when new.
The price of wood bed frames can vary as much as their quality, with basic options starting at less than $100 and the highest quality frames costing more than $1,000.
Wooden bed frame pros
- Wooden bed frames have a warm, classic look that works well with almost any decorative style.
- As long as you steer clear of flimsy wooden bed frames, they generally feel stronger and sturdier than metal ones, with heavier, thicker legs.
- It’s much easier to clean a wooden bed frame compared to an upholstered bed frame.
- You can choose from a range of natural wood colors or opt for painted wood if you prefer. Plus, it’s easy to paint a wooden bed frame if you want to change up your bedroom decor down the line.
Wooden bed frame cons
- Quality solid wood bed frames are heavy and difficult to move once assembled, even with another person to help you.
- Decent solid wood bed frames cost significantly more than metal bed frames of comparable quality.

Upholstered bed frames
Upholstered bed frames are usually made from engineered wood but are covered in fabric with a soft layer of foam between. They’re great for anyone who loves the luxurious look of an upholstered bed, although they’re not as common in modern styles of decor.
Because of the extra materials and work that goes into making upholstered bed frames, they tend to be relatively pricey compared to metal and wooden options. Depending on the design, you can pay $200-$1,000 on an upholstered bed frame.
Upholstered bed frame pros
- The headboard on an upholstered bed frame is soft with foam padding, which is excellent for anyone who regularly sits up in bed to read or watch TV.
- Upholstered bed frames often have drawers or other storage solutions built into the base.
- You can choose from a wide range of colors and fabric types, so you’re sure to find an option that you love or that matches the existing color scheme in your bedroom.
Upholstered bed frame cons
- If you get the upholstered parts of your bed frame dirty, they’re difficult to clean.
- You’ll need to vacuum your upholstered bed frame every few months as fabric collects dust.

Should you get a metal bed frame, wooden bed frame or upholstered bed frame?
There’s no clear bed frame winner between metal, wooden and upholstered frames. It mainly comes down to personal preference. For instance, some people love having a comfortable upholstered headboard to lean against, while others think they look old-fashioned. If it still isn’t clear which bed frame material is suitable for you, just choose the one you like the look of best.

Are flat top or pellet grills best?
There isn’t anything like a home-cooked meal. With so many cooking appliance options, it can feel overwhelming to decide what will work best for your needs. Between air fryers and mixers, the marketplace is full of choices to make life in the kitchen much more efficient.
Grills are a common appliance that many can’t go without. However, it can be difficult to keep up with the constant addition of newer models and designs. Flat top grills are a favorite for their overall convenience. Pellet grills are beginning to gain momentum for their ease of use. Determining which one is best for your needs depends on several factors.
Flat top grills
Flat top grills are well-known for their versatility. Consumers love that anything from eggs to burgers can be placed on the grill and cooked to perfection. They also come in a variety of designs. Some require electricity, while others you can use above an open flame or stovetop. Flat top grills come in a range of prices, so you’re likely to find one in your budget. They’re also made from chrome, steel, cast iron and aluminum materials.
Flat top pros
Flat top grills are versatile. They can cook various breakfast foods, including bacon, pancakes and eggs. They can also cook meats, rice, vegetables and more. Flat top grills burn out the fat and excess oil from your food resulting in less grease and fat. Depending on the design, you can use them indoors, outdoors or both. They also come in a range of sizes. Whether you’re cooking for a group or just yourself, there is a size for your needs. Cleanup is easy with flat top grills because the grease can run down, or you can wipe it into the grease traps, which you can then pour out.
Flat top cons
Flat top grills don’t offer the smoky flavor of a traditional grill. They also can’t create the crisscrossed seared look that many love to see on their grilled food. Though flat top grills burn the fat and excess oil out of food, unless you’re constantly wiping off the excess grease, you’ll be cooking in it. Also, some outdoor flat top grills don’t come with a lid.
Best flat tops

The 18-inch flat top grill plate comes with a silicone oven mitt. The reversible plate allows users variety when making their favorite dishes. The cast-iron skillet is nonstick and heats up to 480 degrees Fahrenheit. The flat top is induction-ready and dishwasher-safe.
Sold by Amazon
Pellet grills
Pellet grills are not as popular as other grills like gas, charcoal and flat top. Pellet grills are like outdoor convection ovens. You can use it to smoke, grill, roast, bake and braise. Pellet grills need electricity to work, and they use compressed hardwood (pellets) as fuel. The pellets are placed into the pellet hopper. The auger pushes the pellets from the hopper into the fire pit. The fan then dispenses the heat throughout the grill. Essentially, it does most of the work for you.
Pellet grill pros
Pellet grills are extremely easy to use. All that is required are pellets to get things started. The temperature can be set and maintained without needing to tend to the fire. Their versatility is also a bonus. The pellets come in various flavors to add an aroma to your food. Pellet grills come with grease traps for easy cleanup. The grease traps also prevent flare-ups from occurring when cooking. Pellet grills can get very hot. Some can go above 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Select pellet grills come with Bluetooth capability to control the grill from their phone. For instance, users can even fire up the grill on their way home from work.
Pellet grill cons
Pellet grills are quite expensive. Additionally, they need electricity to function. It’s important to note that not all pellet grills can sear food. Pellet grills are large and heavy, making them difficult to take with you on a camping trip. Compared to traditional grills, pellet grills offer a subtle smoky flavor instead of a rich smoky flavor. Cleaning a pellet grill is much like cleaning other grills with a grate, and it’s more of a tedious process than cleaning a flat top.
Best pellet grills
This large pellet grill sears and smokes. Temperature ranges from 200 to 600 degrees. The grill comes with an app for your smartphone to use as a remote control. The hopper can store up to 22 pounds of pellets to ensure several hours of burning time.
Sold by Amazon
This pellet grill is one of the more affordable models from the trusted brand. It’s a 6-in-1 grill with porcelain grates for easy cleaning. There’s a built-in meat probe to guarantee perfect results every time. The grill is large enough to cook 24 burgers, five rib racks and four chickens.
Sold by Amazon
This pellet grill has eight-in-one cooking capabilities at an affordable price. It offers 849 square inch of cooking space and 21 pounds of hopper capacity. The cooking temperature ranges from 180 to 500 degrees.
Sold by Amazon
Should you get a flat top or a pellet grill?
Choosing one over the other depends on what you hope to achieve and how much you can afford. Flat top grills come in an array of options for outdoor to indoor use with a wide price range. You can cook all sorts of food on them, they’re easy to clean and they’re portable. However, they don’t offer a smoky flavor like other grills and need to be watched to prevent overcooking or burning your food. Pellet grills, however, are a breeze to use and offer advanced technology that makes cooking efficient. But they are costly and cannot be easily taken with you on a trip.
Both are excellent choices. Factor in what is most important to you, and you’ll have a reliable grill for life.

Board games like Sorry
One of the oldest and most iconic family-friendly pastimes is Sorry, a simple dice-rolling game that involves a race around a board. The name derives from players knocking each other off their position and back to the start. Until you get all four of your tokens safely to your base, however, victory is no sure thing.
Released in 1929, the elements of Sorry have found their way to a variety of other accessible, family-friendly games. These options are ideal for a (mostly) relaxing, casual afternoon of gameplay and typically can be completed in about a half-hour. Sorry offers a mix of strategy and luck, and maybe even some negotiations on the side.
If you enjoy Sorry, you’ll love these options, both new and old, to try out with friends and family.
Board games for those who love Sorry
This popular, timeless board game is a mainstay of many homes, a fun endeavor of casual strategic play. Previously called The Settlers of Catan, the game requires players to manage simple resources, including sheep and brick, and erect buildings and roads across a tiled board. Dice are rolled every turn, helping players collect materials depending on where they’ve decided to build. There are a few different means to achieve victory points, so strategy is required. If the game becomes repetitive, there are plenty of expansion packs in which to invest.

This colorful card game welcomes players age 7 and up to a fun and slightly twisted version of familiar favorites such as Old Maid and Crazy Eights. Cards are dealt to players and a number of exploding kittens cards are hidden within the deck that need to be avoided. There are a bunch of ways to get around them, including defusing the explosion, seeing the future or skipping your turn. Like Sorry, you upend another player’s path to victory by placing the detonation in the way. There’s also an adult-rated version for older players.
This timeless card game is celebrating its 50th anniversary and is just as fun and family-friendly as always. The simple game calls for players to deplete their cards as quickly as possible, matching the number or color of the previously played card. Certain cards offer strategic advantages, and there are some Sorry elements where players can disrupt the flow for others. This classic game belongs in every home.
Sold by Amazon
Endless opportunities to be creative and silly await in this family-friendly game. Apples to Apples doesn’t quite have the competitive nature of Sorry, but does embrace its casual, accessible sensibility, making it a terrific game for lazy Saturdays or time away on vacation. Up to 10 people can participate, taking turns to play a card with a word or phrase and then soliciting apt descriptions from the rest of the group. The leader of the turn is the judge of what’s best, whether it’s the most clever, the funniest or simply the most on-point pairing.

This colorful and satisfying game takes players to Amity Island and aboard the Orca to seek out a menacing great white shark. The catch, however, is that one of the players takes on the role of the shark, and the remaining act as Brody, Hooper and Quint. There are two different modes of this game that can be played back to back or in isolation, and both involve the shark trying to outmaneuver the humans. While the game requires some strategizing and planning, there is plenty of tension as the human players drop barrels to find a shark while trying to survive its attacks on the boat.

A classic game from years past, Chutes and Ladders ranks alongside Sorry as a popular, family-friendly game that inspired countless others. It’s easy to play and is almost entirely luck-based, but features some drama and suspense while providing a welcome for younger players to the world of board games.

This simple game welcomes kids and adults alike to amass their favorite foods and collect the most points. Players pass around cards in order to acquire pairs, trios and other complementary couplings. Scoring is straightforward, and the cute and colorful cards cater to all ages.

This lively card-collecting game involves a major twist: dodgeball. A giant inflatable burrito makes up the focal point of this rapid, family-friendly game that regularly sees one player throwing the fare at another. It welcomes players age 7 and up with as many as six players at once, games can be finished in 15 minutes. It may be best to play outdoors; just be sure to clear the area!

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) — For a very brief moment, Cameron Young was tied for the lead on the 18th hole on the final day of the British Open with only three other players still out on the course.
He never stood much of a chance.
Young finished in second place on the Old Course in the 150th British Open after driving the green and sinking a 17-foot eagle putt on the par-4 18th. That put him at 19-under 269 for the tournament. Playing partner Cameron Smith was also at 19 under, but the Australian still had a 2-foot birdie putt to get to 20 under.
“Cameron was not going to miss that,” said Young, who shot a 7-under 65 on Sunday and lost to Smith by one stroke.
The eagle moved Young one shot ahead of Rory McIlroy, who missed a birdie putt on the 18th a few minutes later. But it wasn’t enough to catch Smith, who shot a 64 in the final round to win the claret jug and match the major championship record to par with his winning score.
“It probably hurts a little worse to come up one shot short. If you lose by eight you don’t really care,” said Young, a 25-year-old American who is from New York. “I would have signed up for 65 this morning. And to watch Cameron shoot what he did, it was pretty amazing.”
Young was at or near the top of leaderboard on all four days at St. Andrews. He opened with an 8-under 64 on Thursday to take the early lead, added a 69 in the second round and a 71 on Saturday.
Heading out for the final round on Sunday, he and Smith were tied for third, four strokes behind McIlroy and Viktor Hovland.
Two bogeys on the front nine — on the first and ninth holes — set him back, but seven total birdies before the eagle on the last kept him in contention to win his first major.
The bogey on 9 was a surprise considering Young had birdied that hole in all three previous rounds this week.
“I think I tried a little hard to get it to the green knowing that right is totally fine. I was just trying to hit one really hard and turning right to left and I just overdid it,” Young said. “Probably just maybe not the best decision I made. And not the best shot I hit today. Just one of those times.”
Young was playing at his first British Open. He has never made the cut at the Masters or the U.S. Open, but he did get some valuable major tournament experience at this year’s PGA Championship. He finished in a tie for third after a double bogey on the 16th at Southern Hills.
“At this point — not as much as some of those other guys — but I’ve at least been around the lead a lot this year,” Young said. “In the PGA Tour in a major, so it’s not the first time I’ve been in that situation.
“And the more I put myself there, I think I said at the PGA one of these times I’ll shoot 5 under on the back (nine) and that will be enough. And today I did. And it wasn’t. So I guess one of these times I’ll shoot 6 on the back on Sunday and that will be enough.”
Trying to get to that 5-under number on the back nine Sunday meant going all out on one last drive.
With the Old Course playing hard and fast all week, many of the par 4s have been drivable. Young knew he needed an eagle on the final hole to pressure Smith so he teed it up and went all out.
“I don’t know what that hole played to this week, but I’d imagine probably more than half of the people were making birdie. The way Cameron Smith chips and putts, I didn’t really think he would make a 4,” Young said. “So, yes, I kind of was just trying to get it there and trying to give myself some kind of look, because obviously you never know.”

Opioid registry, predictive modeling help identify at-risk Medicare members in Florida
EAGAN, Minn., July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- During the COVID-19 pandemic, drug overdoses killed over 107,000 Americans in 2021.1 Prior to the pandemic, Prime Therapeutics LLC (Prime), a leading pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) serving nearly 33 million members nationally, began an intervention program targeting Medicare members who were at high risk of overutilizing opioids. A pilot with Medicare members of GuideWell Mutual Holding Corporation (GuideWell), which is the parent company to a leading health plan in Florida, saw decreased opioid claims and lower morphine milligram equivalent (MME) dosing for members who received communications.
The program used Prime's GuidedHealth opioid registry – a listing that helps identify Medicare members who were either new opioid starters or current opioid utilizers and at risk for opioid risk harm. The registry also feeds Prime's predictive model that determines a members' probability of exceeding thresholds of ≥50 and ≥90 MME daily in the next six months. Together, the registry and predictive model help prevent opioid misuse for members.
New opioid starters and current opioid utilizers had customized pilot designs:
- New opioid starters: This group received a member communication with messaging about what an opioid is, how it works and how to safely use and dispose of them. A control group of a similar sized health plan client was used.
- Prior opioid utilizers: This group received a member communication and corresponding prescriber communication with information about safe use and disposal of opioids. The communication also encouraged the member to speak with a doctor or pharmacist about naloxone, a medicine that reverses an opioid overdose in an emergency. A control group of a similar sized health plan client was used.
"Prime has been working on managing opioid use and abuse for well over a decade. Creating tailored approaches for how to assist members based on where they are in their opioid journey is vital to helping improve their health," said David Lassen, PharmD, chief clinical officer at Prime. "The results of this pilot show improvement around member behavior with opioids, particularly with the discontinuation of opioids, as well as insight for future efforts for all opioid users."
Both pilot groups had positive outcomes to report:
- New opioid starters: Compared to the control group, new opioid starters had a 37%-point decrease in MME use and had a 29%-point improvement in opioid discontinuation.
- Prior opioid utilizers: This group had a 7% decrease in opioid prescriptions, a 2.8%-point increase in naloxone prescriptions and an overall 10% of members who discontinued opioids in the follow-up period.
"We are committed to addressing the opioid epidemic amongst our members with a variety of methods and we value the work of Prime as our pharmacy benefit manager to help us take on this fight," said Cynthia Griffin, PharmD, vice president, Medicare pharmacy programs at GuideWell. "Using claims data for our Medicare members, integrated with Prime's data, to inform predictive modeling, creates customized programs for members. These tailored approaches result in opportunities to have positive impacts that improve member outcomes related to opioids. This has the potential to save lives during the ongoing fight against opioid misuse and abuse, and our members benefit from this work."

GREENWOOD, Ind. (WXIN) — While police are crediting an Indiana man with shooting and killing a suspect in the Greenwood Park Mall shooting Sunday, mall policy prohibited him from carrying at all.
Greenwood Police Chief James Ison confirmed Sunday that the shooter was shot and killed by a man visiting the mall, located in a suburb just south of Indianapolis. The Good Samaritan, as police called him, was armed with a handgun.
“The real hero of the day was the citizen that was lawfully carrying a firearm in the food court and was able to stop the shooter almost as soon as he began,” Ison said.
Police say the 22-year-old from Bartholomew County had a legal gun permit. However, according to mall policy, the man should not have been carrying his handgun in the mall in the first place.
The Simon Property Group, which owns the mall, states in its code of conduct that no weapons are allowed at their shopping centers. The policy was last updated in April 2020.
The property group has worked with Greenwood police for several planned security technology upgrades after recent incidents at the mall, including two in which employees were held at gunpoint in the parking lot. These upgrades include license plate readers installed at mall entrances.
Despite the man’s failure to follow the mall’s code of conduct, Greenwood Mayor Mark Myers said the man saved lives.
“Someone we are calling the ‘Good Samaritan’ was able to shoot the assailant and stop further bloodshed. This person saved lives tonight. On behalf of the City of Greenwood, I am grateful for his quick action and heroism in this situation.”
Greenwood Mayor Mark Myers
Three people were killed and two others were injured before the suspect was shot and killed.
A spokesperson for Simon Properties declined to comment Sunday evening, instead referring WXIN to Greenwood police. | https://www.localsyr.com/news/national/armed-good-samaritan-stopped-indiana-mall-shooting-broke-mall-rules/ | 2022-07-18T13:44:27Z | https://www.localsyr.com/news/national/armed-good-samaritan-stopped-indiana-mall-shooting-broke-mall-rules/ | true |

Where’s Boris? Johnson takes back seat as Conservatives feud
By JILL LAWLESS
Associated Press
LONDON (AP) — The contenders to replace Boris Johnson are scrambling to distance themselves from the scandal-tainted politician who remains Britain’s prime minister for a few more weeks. Johnson, meanwhile, has largely disappeared from the scene. He has not attended any government emergency meetings about a heat wave that has been called a national emergency, and spent the weekend at the prime minister’s country house, throwing a farewell barbecue for staff and friends. On Monday, Johnson returns to Parliament to kick off a debate on the accomplishments of his government. Conservative lawmakers will hold another elimination vote Monday to reduce the number of candidates to replace Johnson from five to four. Britain’s next leader is expected to be announced on Sept. 5. | https://kion546.com/news/ap-national-news/2022/07/18/wheres-boris-johnson-takes-back-seat-as-conservatives-feud/ | 2022-07-18T13:47:06Z | https://kion546.com/news/ap-national-news/2022/07/18/wheres-boris-johnson-takes-back-seat-as-conservatives-feud/ | false |
In-theatres: November\n3 days • November 25 till 3 dayss • 61\nSpoiling their younger sibbling's fun and jean short hair on every street, tear the scene into tiny shat... More Detrone the movie\nKi Ki Saw Ya, also known as Kee'ch Kwé Ye'ey, is part of this amazes Indigneuse Indgendis film collectin - More LOS ANGELES — A Los Angeles judge privately told lawyers he would renege on a promise 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 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 the judge broke a promise to let Polanski go free after state prison officials had determined he shouldn't serve hard time.
"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 to state prison for a 90-day diagnostic evaluation to help determine what punishment he should face.
The judge said that as long as Polanski received a favorable report from the prison, he would serve no additional time, Gunson said.
After six weeks of evaluation in prison, Polanski was released with a recommendation he only serve probation, Braun said.
But Rittenband thought the probation and prison reports were superficial and a "whitewash," said Gunson, who agreed they downplayed or misstated Polanski's crimes.
The judge privately told Gunson and Polanski's lawyer that 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 at the time.
"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 up to 50 years because there had been no agreed-upon sentence. But Gunson objected to the "sham" proceedings the judge was orchestrating and felt he 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.

France has scrambled more water-bombing planes and hundreds more firefighters to combat spreading wildfires that were being fed by hot swirling winds from a searing heat wave broiling much of Europe.
With winds changing direction, authorities in south-western France announced plans to evacuate more towns and move out 3,500 people at risk of finding themselves in the path of the flames.
Three additional water-bombing planes were joining six others already making repeated runs over the flames and dense clouds of smoke, the French interior ministry said.
It added that more than 200 reinforcements were also being added to the 1,500-strong force of firefighters battling night and day to contain the blazes which are devastating the Gironde region’s tinder-dry pine forests and sending burning embers into the air, spreading the flames even further.
Meanwhile, Spain reported a second fatality in two days as it battled wildfires.
The body of a 69-year-old sheep farmer was found on Monday in the same hilly area where a 62-year-old firefighter died a day earlier when he was trapped by flames in the northwestern Zamora province.
More than 30 forest fires around Spain have forced the evacuation of thousands of people and blackened 85 square miles (220 square kilometres) of forest and scrub.
In both France and Spain, fierce heat is fuelling blazes. Forecasters warned of temperatures above 40C (104F) for Monday.
“I left my country under fire, literally under fire,” Teresa Ribera, Spain’s minister for ecological transition, said as she attended talks on climate change in Berlin on Monday.
She warned of “terrifying prospects still for the days to come” — after more than 10 days of temperatures over 40C, cooling only moderately at night.
Heatwaves and drought tied to climate change have made wildfires harder to fight. Scientists say climate change will continue to make weather more extreme and wildfires more frequent and destructive.
According to Spain’s Carlos III Institute, which records daily temperature-related fatalities, 237 deaths were attributed to high temperatures from July 10 to 14. This was compared to 25 temperature-related deaths the previous week.
The heatwave in Spain is forecast to ease on Tuesday, but the respite will be brief as temperatures rise again on Wednesday, especially in the tinder-dry western Extremadura region.
In Portugal, much cooler weather on Monday helped fire crews make progress against blazes. More than 600 firefighters were attending four major fires in northern Portugal. | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/uk-world/3503566/france-fights-spreading-wildfires-as-heatwave-fries-europe/ | 2022-07-18T13:51:03Z | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/uk-world/3503566/france-fights-spreading-wildfires-as-heatwave-fries-europe/ | false |

A Conservative Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) who pledged a road safety crackdown has been banned from driving after being caught speeding five times within a 12-week period.
Caroline Henry, PCC for Nottinghamshire, previously admitted the offences, including two committed on consecutive days, telling a district judge: “I’m really sorry.”
The 52-year-old, who was elected to the post in May 2021, was caught speeding in a blue Mercedes and a silver Lexus with a personalised number plate in 30mph zones at four locations in Nottingham in March, May and June last year.
Henry was captured over the speed limit twice near a primary school in Daybrook, Nottingham, as well as roads in Chilwell, Beeston and on the city’s A610.
Speed cameras clocked the PCC’s speed as high as 40mph in a 30mph zone, with other excess speeds recorded at 35mph and 38mph.
Imposing a £2,450 fine as well as disqualifying her for six months at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on Monday, District Judge Leo Pyle said of the offences: “What they show is that you are driving at consistent speeds above the speed limits.
“What I haven’t been told is why.
“Whether that was due to work or during your private time, you must allow time to get to your destination safely.”
The judge added: “Speed limit (cameras) are sited… not at places where they can issue maximum amounts in fines, but for safety reasons.”
The offences took place on March 17 and 18, May 2 and 27, and June 8.
The judge dismissed Henry’s application to keep her driving licence due to “exceptional hardship”.
Her defence solicitor, Rhys Rosser, urged the court not to ban her so she can visit her child in hospital in Salisbury, saying it “cannot be done by public transport”.
But District Judge Pyle said that, despite it being an “inconvenience”, Henry’s husband, Broxtowe MP Darren Henry, could “facilitate” it.
On her official PCC website, Henry, of Giltbrook, Nottinghamshire, listed ensuring an “effective and efficient” police response to speeding as one of her priorities.
She campaigned for election using the slogan “Make Notts Safe” and promised to “reduce crime with action, not words”.
Speaking outside court after the sentencing hearing, Henry said she remains committed to her role as PCC, but declined to comment on whether she would resign.
She told reporters: “I am truly sorry for speeding.
“Quite properly I’ve been fined and banned from driving for six months.
“I remain committed to serving the people of Nottinghamshire as Police and Crime Commissioner.” | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/uk-world/3503944/tory-pcc-banned-from-driving-after-being-caught-speeding-five-times-in-12-weeks/ | 2022-07-18T13:51:52Z | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/uk-world/3503944/tory-pcc-banned-from-driving-after-being-caught-speeding-five-times-in-12-weeks/ | true |
Cycling-I was losing faith says Britain's resurgent Froome
By Julien Pretot
CARCASSONNE, France, July 18 (Reuters) - It has been more than 1,500 days since Chris Froome last won a race but the four-time Tour de France champion has an unwavering certainty he can still improve, although there were moments he was losing faith after a career-threatening freak crash in 2019.
Three years after hitting a wall at 60kph and sustaining fractures to his neck, right femur, hip, elbow and ribs, the Briton fought for a stage win at the top of the iconic climb to l'Alpe d'Huez on the Tour last week.
The 37-year-old took third place, which was way above anyone's expectations for a rider who struggled to reach the finish line on most of the days in last year's race.
"These past five, six months, were probably the only five six months in the last three years that I've been able to work uninterrupted with no pain, no injuries, nothing," Froome told Reuters on Monday.
"Nothing holding me back. So I'm still seeing improvements, seeing progressions and as long as I'm seeing these improvements, I'm going to keep working.
"I don't know how far I'm going to get and if I'm going to get to my old level but one thing is for sure I'm going to work as hard as I can.
"And as long as I see these improvements, I'm going to keep the dream alive and keep working for it."
Froome's last victory came in 2018 when he won the Giro d'Italia after a vintage 80-km solo ride and, while he was far from that level on the way to l'Alpe d'Huez, he was in the mix, albeit only for a stage victory that went to compatriot Tom Pidcock.
THIRD PLACE
"I think I managed to hold in there for four or five kilometres within sort of 20 seconds but then the light started going out to me and the elastic snapped," said Froome.
"So at that point it was clear I was riding for third place on the stage. I had (Neilson) Powless very very close behind me. But I wanted to make the most of it and at least try to finish with a top three on the stage."
Mission accomplished started to erase some of the doubts Froome had on his painful way back to competitive cycling.
"Last year, I worked extremely hard to be ready for the Tour de France. But when I came here I was in the grouppetto (the group of riders fighting to finish the mountain stages within the time limit) battle every day," he said.
"I was struggling. I was really fighting to finish the stages. And just to make it to Paris was a really big challenge for me last year so, yes, there are moments of course I had doubts myself.
"I was losing faith in my abilities for sure. I think naturally as athletes we doubt ourselves a lot. But when you work extremely hard and you're not seeing the gains that you hope to get, there are definitely moments where I was doubting myself there."
While he had many critics suggesting he should quit, Froome was surrounded by a group of faithful supporters.
"I really need to say a massive thank you to the people around me and most notably my wife (Michelle). She believed in me, she's given me motivation to continue and keep fighting and only now, three years later, am I finally starting to turn the corner and starting to see some real progress," Froome said.
"So thank you to her and other people around me. My coach as well at Israel Premier Tech, Paulo Saldanha, is giving me a lot of motivation and a lot of encouragement through the difficult times.
"And now, this Alpe d'Huez stage, it's given me more hope and more motivation."

MONTEREY, Calif., July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Thanks to the rapid growth and evolution of the online store, it paved the way for Retro Stage to expand its offline business -- bringing the brand directly to the public in local vintage clothing stores. The offline business model consists of launching showrooms and forming partnerships with brick-and-mortar retailers who specialize in vintage-inspired clothing.
The Offline Business Development of Retro Stage
Retro Stage was created by a group of retro enthusiasts who love the style of the 1920s, '50s, and '60s, aiming to make beautiful vintage-inspired garments for fellow fashionistas who are also attracted to the retro style. What began as a simple passion project quickly evolved into a way to preserve these aesthetics and explore new ways of applying them to modern clothing. Since introducing the Retro Stage website to the public, over 500,000 sales have been made in nearly 200 countries, and it has gained nearly 600,000 subscribers on its official social media accounts in just a few short years.
The success of the online website inspires Retro Stage to expand the business by seeking offline opportunities. Thanks to the local team's extensive groundwork at the start of the project, in early 2020, Retro Stage launched its first showroom in Los Angeles and officially began nurturing local partnerships by offering collaborative promotions such as seasonal sales, themed events, and influencer collaborations. Since then, the retro style movement has expanded to 15 stores in 8 states across the US. Even pop-country music artist Arizona Lindsey featured Retro Stage's clothing in her music video I Didn't Fit in Anyway.
The driving forces of enduring success are high-quality products and vintage inspiration. "Thanks to all of our wonderful offline partners, their warmhearted service and high-quality products shown at brick-and-mortar stores help build trust between the customers and us," the Retro Stage team said, "and thanks to our talented designers, we will continue to keep retro styles alive and design more satisfactory vintage-style clothing for our customers."
What is happening at Retro Stage?
In addition to launching a special collection based on a themed celebration each season, such as Valentine's Day, Christmas, Halloween, and Weddings, Retro Stage is constantly adding new items to categories like 1920s flapper dresses, 1950s swing dresses, 1960s pencil dresses, and vintage swimsuits, jumpsuits, and rompers. Each category has a range of representative pieces that show off their unique cuts and classic silhouettes.
The glittering sequins, dazzling fringe, and elaborate decorations symbolize the wild and vivid '20s. From ballroom dancing to the spinning Charleston, the wearer can feel the charm of the Roaring Twenties again and never stop dancing. For more stunning dresses, check out the 1920s collection.
This yellow romper with a removable floral-printed skirt, inspired by 1950s fashion, features not only a unique design but a vintage flavor as well. The wearer can also sport the romper by itself, and the floral skirt can be paired with a floral halter lace-up bikini set to DIY a unique retro-style dress. Check out Mrs. Maisel's favorite dress collection.
Who would say no to a dress covered with rose print? The rose pencil dress, with its modern design and bright colors, is the darling example of fashion from the 1960s as well as an overall iconic style that will ensure that wearers feel the retro charm. For elegant and fashionable styles, check out more 1960s dresses.
The strawberry motif and soft lace are the perfect combinations of modern and vintage styles, making the pink tankini set timeless. For a lovely and vibrant look, it's an excellent choice to show off at the pool or sunbathe on the beach. Even more elegant and unique styles are available in the summer swimsuit collection. Check out more retro bikini sets, one-piece swimsuits, tankini sets, skirted swimsuits, and swimsuit cover-ups.
Representing the beauty of nature-inspired motifs, the daisy print romper evokes a feeling of real forest greenery. The lifelike daisies on the romper make the wearers feel as if they're surrounded by fragrant flowers. It's easy to stay pleasantly cool in the summer due to the comfortable fabric and fresh colors, just like a 1950s girl camping by a stream in the forest. Check out more charming rompers.
This dark green velvet jumpsuit decorated with plum blossoms combines elegance and high fashion to help exude femininity. The voluptuous deep V neckline perfectly outlines and accentuates the bust, and the handkerchief-shaped sleeves shape the arms to achieve a slimmer look. At the same time, it also maintains the comfort and functionality of pants. Check out more vintage fashion jumpsuits.

The family of a 23-year-old man who killed his father and tried to murder his mother have said “something must change” after they spent years begging mental health services to help him.
Garvey Gayle stabbed Michael Gayle, 54, to death at his mother’s home in Cypress Crescent, St Mellons, Cardiff on October 16 2020.
The father-of-four was pronounced dead at the scene having suffered more than 17 stab wounds.
Gayle also used the kitchen knife to stab his 50-year-old mother, Amanda Brookes, in the arm, stomach and side, during a psychotic “rage”. However, paramedics were able to save her.
Aged 21 at the time, Gayle fled the scene and was found by police officers at the Shell petrol garage on Newport Road holding a Bible and introducing himself as Jesus Christ.
His sisters told Cardiff Crown Court during his sentencing on Monday that the past three years had been like a “horror movie”.
Mary Sia and Essence Gayle said: “There will never be enough words to describe the impact this awful life-changing tragedy has had on us as a family.
“Losing our dad, and mum losing her partner under these unimaginable circumstances has been physically and mentally unbearable. The emptiness it has left us with is eerie and difficult to comprehend.
“Dad was a man like no other, truly one of a kind. He was the rock of our family on whom we all depended.
“As for mum, she has lost her life-long partner, soul mate and best friend of 34 years.”
“What mustn’t be forgotten is that we’ve also lost Garvey. A son, a brother, an uncle, a grandson, due to the results of his mental health,” they added.
“Whilst the past two years have been a living nightmare, what some may not realise is that the three years prior were also an uphill battle that was never-ending.
“We as a family did everything within our power to get Garvey the help he needed, I don’t know what more we could have done.
“As much as it pains us to say this, we all said that without professional help, something like this was inevitable, but still nothing could prepare us for what happened that night.
“It could have and should have been prevented.
“It should never have come to this. It should never have taken for our dad to die for our brother to get the help he needed many years ago.
“Our plea for help didn’t end the night we lost Dad.
“It will continue until we are satisfied that no other family has to go through the same tragedy and suffer the loss that we have faced.
“Lessons must be learned. Pro-action must take precedence over reaction. Something has to change.”
The court heard how Gayle first had contact with mental health services in 2018 and was later diagnosed with severe paranoid schizophrenia.
He had previous convictions for battery and criminal damage against Ms Brookes, with both incidents described as “related to his mental illness”.
He was first detained in January 2020 and was discharged in June, five months prior to the fatal incident.
Following the murder he was initially found unfit to plead but after months of treatment was able to enter pleas of guilty to the manslaughter of Mr Gayle, by reason of diminished responsibility, and the attempted murder of Ms Brookes.
Dr Chandan Sehgal, who wrote some of the 21 psychiatric reports compiled on Gayle for the case, told the court the defendant had “treatment resistant schizophrenia”.
He said Gayle suffers with “hallucinations, delusional beliefs and at times showed signs of hostility, aggression, threats and persecutory beliefs”.
Dr Sehgal said Gayle continues to hear voices and believes that others are “out to get him” and that he must “kill in order to preserve himself”.
David Elias QC, defending, said: “The horrific acts that led to such tragic consequences speak for themselves and we are acutely aware of the anguish caused to the family.
“It’s a credit to the family that they have recognised Garvey Gayle’s descent into mental illness before these tragic events is part of this tragedy.
“Garvey Gayle was very ill at the time of these events.”
Judge Michael Fitton QC said some of the facts of the case would not be detailed during the hearing to ensure “the welfare of the family and the mental health care of the defendant”.
Adding: “I am not here to comment on the defendant’s history and his care by psychiatric facilities.”
Sentencing him under sections 37 and 41 of the Mental Health Act, Judge Fitton ordered that Gayle be detained indefinitely at the Caswell Clinic in South Wales.
As he left the dock, Gayle turned to his family and said: “I love you mum. I’ll see you soon.” | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/uk-world/3504844/family-of-man-who-killed-his-father-say-mental-health-services-must-change/ | 2022-07-18T13:53:22Z | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/uk-world/3504844/family-of-man-who-killed-his-father-say-mental-health-services-must-change/ | true |

Vouchers for Tractors, Forklifts, Construction Equipment and More Help Reduce Emissions and Improve Air Quality
PASADENA, Calif., July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --The California Air Resources Board (CARB) opens the second round of its Clean Off-Road Equipment Voucher Incentive Project (CORE) today, providing point-of-sale discounts on off-road zero-emission equipment. The project is administered by CALSTART and has $125M in funding available, more than double the amount allocated to the project when it first launched in January 2020. Originally only for freight, in 2022, CORE is expanding to include funding for the commercial harbor craft and agriculture and construction sectors.
Participation in the project has been streamlined for ease of use, and key elements include:
- Qualified participants will receive vouchers for point-of-sale discounts on off-road zero-emission equipment, up to a maximum of $500,000 per voucher
- There is no requirement to "scrap," sell, or retire existing equipment
- Additional funding may be available for charging/refueling infrastructure, equipment operated in disadvantaged communities, and small businesses
"California is backing up its commitment to clean the air in overburdened communities and carry out the direction of the Governor's Executive Order with a significant investment in zero-emission vehicles and sustainable transportation," CARB Deputy Executive Officer Craig Segall said. "CORE is specifically designed to assist industry sectors that currently use off-road equipment and can help clean up the communities hardest hit by air pollution."
"The streamlined process incorporates feedback from program participants and we are anticipating significant interest in this second round," said Niki Okuk, deputy director at CALSTART. "The industry is continuing its transition to zero-emissions and CORE provides a clear market signal that helps bring new products to the market."

Not only are Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle expected to be two of Tua Tagovailoa’s top playmakers, but the Miami Dolphins receivers are also serving as the quarterback’s biggest advocates.
During the latest episode of Hill’s It Needed to be Said podcast that featured Waddle, the Dolphins receivers talked about the improves they’ve seen from Tagovailoa, who was the fifth overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft.
When asked to compare Tagovailoa from the 2021 season, where he produced a 90.1 passer rating after completing 67.8 percent of his passes, throwing for 2,653 yards with 16 touchdowns in the 13 games he played, to the quarterback Miami saw during the offseason work in coach Mike McDaniel’s new offense, Waddle downplayed what Hill believes is a substantial difference.
“They know what Tua is capable of for real,” said Hill, a three-time Pro Bowler who the Dolphins traded a treasure chest of draft picks to acquire from the Kansas City Chiefs this offseason and gave a contract extension that averages $30 million a season.
“That boy looks scary right now,” Waddle said about Tagovailoa, who helped him set a NFL record for most receptions (104) by a rookie last season. “I’m not going to sugarcoat it. It’s him. He’s been that guy since Alabama.
“He’s going to come in consistent accurate, make the throws he’s supposed to do, show out and be a leader. … I been seeing that,” said Waddle, who turned those 104 receptions in 1,015 yards and seven touchdowns last season. “I’m going to be happier when everyone else gets to see what I already know.”
Tagovailoa, who owns a 13-8 record as an NFL starter, is joined by Mac Jones, who went 10-7 as the New England Patriots rookie starter last season, as the only two quarterbacks from the 2019, 2020, and 2021 draft classes that are in possession of a winning record as an NFL starter.
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert, who was taken one pick after Tagovailoa in the 2020 draft, has a 15-17 regular-season record.
Jalen Hurts has a 9-10 record from his time as the Philadelphia Eagles starter past two seasons. But Hurts led the Eagles to the playoffs last season.
Jordan Love, a 2020 first-round pick, serves as Aaron Rodgers’ backup in Green Bay. He has a 0-1 record from his one start with the Packers.
Cincinnati’s Joe Burrow, who was the first pick in the 2020 draft, owns a 12-13-1 record in the regular season. Burrow’s record goes to 15-14-1 when playoff games are factored in considering the Bengals advanced to the Super Bowl last season, where they lost to the Los Angeles Rams.
Even Arizona’s Kyler Murray, the first pick in the 2019 draft, has a 22-23-1 regular season record with the Cardinals. Daniel Jones, the New York Giants starting quarterback, was also a first-round pick in that draft. He owns a 12-25 record for his play the past three seasons.
Dwayne Haskins, a 2019 first-round pick, had a 3-10 record before his untimely passing this spring. And Drew Lock owns a 8-13 record from his tenure with the Denver Broncos. He’s now competing with Geno Smith for the starting spot in Seattle.
Most of the rookie quarterbacks in the 2021 draft — Jacksonville’s Trevor Lawrence (3-14), New York Jets Zach Wilson (3-10), San Francisco’s Trey Lance (1-1), Chicago’s Justin Fields (2-8) — struggled last season. Jones was the only rookie starter who had success.
“You know, in the NFL they only give you like two or three years to be a successful quarterback, especially if you’re a first-round draft pick,” Hill said. “And if you don’t succeed after those years, then it’s kick rocks, man. So, basically, they’re going to put Tua into that. So this is basically his last year, man, just to show people what he’s got.”
While it’s clear Tagovailoa’s third season could help determine whether he is a quarterback worth building around, it may be premature to say this will be his last season to be evaluated as an NFL starter. Tagovailoa has already won more games than he’s lost despite not having a great relationship with former head coach Brian Flores, and Miami possessing one of the worst offensive lines in the NFL the past two seasons, an anemic rushing attack, and a receiver unit decimated by injuries.
This offseason the Dolphins fortified the offensive line by signing Pro Bowler Terron Armstead and veteran starter Connor Williams, changed the running scheme and added three former starting tailbacks. Miami traded for Hill, used the franchise tag on Mike Gesicki, and added Cedrick Wilson Jr. to its receiver unit.
The hope is that the foundation has been laid for Tagovailoa to have success, and possibly lead the Dolphins to the playoffs for the first time since the 2016 season.
“It’s gonna be a lot of people taking their words back on what they said about [Tua],” said Hill, who called Tagovailoa the most accurate quarterback he’s every played with on his first episode of It Needed To Be Said. “I can’t really name point, but I’m saying reporters, analysts, Twitter trolls. All those people are gonna take their words back on what they said about [Tua], and I’m just gonna be sitting there, eating my popcorn.”

(The Conversation is an independent and nonprofit source of news, analysis and commentary from academic experts.)
Peggy Liu, University of Pittsburgh and Lauren Min, University of Kansas
(THE CONVERSATION) The Research Brief is a short take about interesting academic work.
The big idea
The next time you wonder whether to reach out to a friend, family member, classmate or other person who’s been out of touch for a long time, go ahead and do it. According to our just-published research, it’s likely they’ll appreciate it more than you think.
In a series of 13 experiments involving over 5,900 participants, we – along with colleagues SoYon Rim and Kate Min – wanted to investigate whether people accurately predict how much their social contacts appreciate being reached out to.
In one experiment we conducted, college students wrote a note “to check in and say hello” to a classmate they hadn’t interacted with in a while. Then we asked them how much they thought their classmate would appreciate receiving this note.
Next, we delivered these notes to their classmates and asked the recipients how much they appreciated receiving them.
We found that the students who received the notes were much more appreciative of the gesture than the students who wrote them had anticipated.
Other experiments varied the scenario by involving older adults as participants rather than college students, switching the written message to a small gift – such as cookies or coffee – and comparing how much the sender underestimated the appreciation that an emotionally distant contact would feel compared with a close contact.
Overall they yielded the same basic finding: People tended to underestimate how much others appreciated hearing from them.
What drives this underestimation? Our results suggest that it’s related to how little the people reaching out factor in the surprise felt by those being contacted. When we asked recipients what they focused on when indicating how appreciative they felt, they reported paying a lot of attention to their positive feelings of surprise, which were linked to how appreciative they felt.
Comparatively, potential senders did not report focusing much on recipients’ positive feelings of surprise.
It also mattered whether the two parties were already in a close relationship. People’s underestimations were even greater when their contact was a distant acquaintance because these recipients were especially surprised at being contacted.
Why it matters
Many people can name at least one person with whom they would like to reconnect. Taking a new job, moving to a different city, becoming a parent, or the busyness of everyday life – these are just some of the life events and circumstances that can cause people to lose touch. Then, if the desire to reconnect arises on one side, doubts may arise about whether the other person may appreciate being contacted out of the blue.
When people consider taking the initiative to reach out, especially after a prolonged period of no contact, they may worry about being rejected. This worry might keep them from reaching out in the first place.
Our research lessens this challenge by showing that often, these gestures will be much more appreciated than one might expect.
What other research is being done
Our findings fit within a growing stream of research examining the tendency to underestimate others’ appreciation of various social exchanges. For example, other researchers have found that people underestimate how much others appreciate receiving compliments or expressions of gratitude.
Our work adds to this area by broadening the scope of the contexts in which people underestimate how much social exchanges are appreciated. Reaching out could but need not require giving compliments or expressing gratitude – the gesture can be as simple as checking in with someone to show that one is thinking about them.

Perhaps it is the long, lonely winters; perhaps it is the isolation of the great farms. Whatever the reason, Iowa is a state of profound quiet. The first time the Southern novelist Allan Gurganus went to a dinner party there, he grew uncomfortable at the long silences around the table — two minutes, then three, then four, when the only sound he heard was “fresh corn being masticated by molars around the room.”
And yet, in those silences in a state where Robert Frost said the rich soil “looks good enough to eat without putting it through vegetables,” deep mysteries fester, and bitter rebellions, too.
One of those mysteries, and one of those rebellions, is simmering right now as the midterm congressional elections approach.
It isn’t raucous like the Iowa City beer riots, an 1884 rebellion against a legislative diktat that banned the consumption of alcohol and prompted mobs, threats, the stripping and tarring of one city prosecutor, the stabbing of another and the pummeling of a judge. It isn’t violent like the 1931 farmer rebellion over a law requiring the testing of cows for tuberculosis, which set off a reaction requiring the dispatch of 31 Iowa National Guard units to quell the uproar. Nor does it match the upheaval a year later, when dairy farmers furious over low milk prices blockaded 10 highways leading into Sioux City, shut down creameries, picketed rail depots, and employed spiked planks and threshing machine belts to enforce their blockades.
This is merely a rebellion at the ballot box, and its effects may be far greater than any of the rural rebellions of the past.
In the four years between the two elections with Donald Trump on the ballot, voter participation in Poweshiek County, in the center of Iowa, grew by 713 net votes. The number of votes by which Trump boosted his total: 711. The number of votes Joe Biden garnered over the figure recorded by Hillary Clinton: 2.
That figure may be skewed a bit by the absence of leftward-leaning Grinnell College students because of COVID-related remote learning, but the figure still is arresting. Poweshiek is a rural county with population density of only 32 people per square mile; Polk County, home of Des Moines, has a population density 26 times as great.
“Rural America is the most distressed part of the country, and so when we talk about things that governments do, it seems to leave rural America behind,” said Caroline Tolbert, a University of Iowa political scientist. “Trump’s message was aimed at communities left behind. The country is a complex map of haves and have-nots. People here are struggling for representation and needing help. Trump’s themes spoke to them.”
The trend is replicated across the state. Lee County, along the Mississippi in far southeastern Iowa, added 1,296 voters in 2020 — and they went for Trump by almost exactly a 3-to-1 ratio. Only a dozen years earlier, Democratic nominee Barack Obama won nearly three-fifths of the votes in the county.
“These people — many of them lower-income whites — have grievances, and they’re not being addressed by the Acela corridor,” said Carleton College political scientist Steven Schier, who was reared in Fort Madison, the county seat, and educated at Simpson College in Indianola in south-central Iowa. “You couldn’t find a more difficult audience to sell critical race theory than Lee County. They’re not feeling too privileged because of their white race.”
Iowa is a state where Democrats won six of the seven elections from 1992 to 2012. But Trump’s 9 percentage point victory in 2016 represented a 15-point swing from Barack Obama’s victory four years earlier. And Trump took a greater percentage of the vote in Iowa in 2020 than he had four years earlier.
This is important because in the six elections from 1992 to 2012, the Iowa vote never deviated from the national result by more than 1 percentage point.
During the mid-1980s farm credit crisis, Joan Blundall, then the director of the rural response program at the Northwest Iowa Mental Health Center, told me that Iowans had “a hostile view of the entire economic system. They’ve been locked out of prosperity, they think the political system simply can’t be trusted, and they distrust both the Republicans and the Democrats.”
Now they distrust Democrats more, and today’s Republicans — with the exception, of course of Sen. Chuck Grassley, who is almost 89, has been on Capitol Hill for 47 years and is running for reelection — bear little resemblance to earlier Republicans.
Two of those new-age Republicans turned up in Iowa recently, stirring passions and, from some viewpoints, trouble.
No political figure plans an August respite in Iowa; the state does not plaster “Vacationland” on its license plates like Maine does, and it does not offer the sort of lakeside fun found in Wisconsin and Michigan, nor the mountain retreats that make Colorado and Utah summertime hiking destinations. But with its early presidential caucuses and its sophisticated voter base, Iowa is a political test kitchen. So when former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and GOP Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Matt Gaetz of Florida landed in Iowa last year, they didn’t have kayak trips and sandcastles in mind.
The visitors argued that Trump was the rightful president, that moderate Republicans weren’t Republicans at all and that, as Greene put it, the country was threatened by a conspiracy of the news media, Democrats and big tech companies — a new “axis of evil.” No one noted that her remarks were an echo of the charge the aviator Charles Lindbergh made in Des Moines almost 80 years earlier, when he said in 1941, less than three months before Pearl Harbor, “The three most important groups who have been pressing this country toward [entry into World War II] are the British, the Jewish [sic] and the Roosevelt Administration.”
So of all the places where the future of American politics is being determined — the suburbs where moderate Democrats inched to hard-won 2018 midterm victories in Trump congressional districts, states where Republican legislatures have enacted laws restricting voting, places where the 2020 election results prompted bitter disputes — one of the important battlegrounds is Iowa, where Jonathan Dolliver, a Republican who served in the Senate from 1900 to 1910, said, “Iowa will go Democratic when Hell goes Methodist.”

NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Evergreen Nephrology is proud to announce they have joined the Living Donor Circle of Excellence. This program, an initiative from the American Society of Transplantation (AST), celebrates employers who implement internal policies that provide salary support to their employees who choose to be a living organ donor.
Heather Wasielewski-Lopez, Evergreen's Chief People Officer, knows firsthand what its like to have a loved one going through the transplant process. "Organ donation is such a powerful gift. At Evergreen Nephrology, part of our mission is to increase the number of people who are able to receive organ transplants, who are living with chronic kidney disease. My younger brother was fortunate enough to be given the gift of a transplanted kidney from my older brother, and to receive support from his place of employment. As an organization we strive to offer support to our employees and alleviate stress for families as they journey through the transplant process."
Evergreen's Chief Medical Officer, Nephrologist Stanley Crittenden said, "As an organization, Evergreen is committed to transforming kidney care by providing high quality care and outcomes to people living with kidney disease. Too many people living with kidney disease lose their independence and die on the kidney transplant waiting list. The challenge for us, then, is to increase the number of living organ donors and this is where we are putting our mission into action. I am excited that Evergreen is now offering our employees paid leave if they choose to become living organ donors. I believe this is our moment to set the new standard, and we are proud to support our employees who will give the gift of life."
John Gill, MD, Founder of the Living Donor Circle of Excellence said, "Living donors are heros amongst us, their gift is life-saving for patients in need of a kidney or liver transplant and has a huge positive impact on society. Patients facing life-threatening diseases are able to live normal lives, raise their families, and participate in their communities. By supporting living organ donors, we are also building stronger communities."
Today, more than 100,000 patients are waiting for a life-saving kidney or liver transplant. Of the transplants performed in 2021, living donors accounted for 24% of kidney transplants and 6% of liver transplants. Financial disincentives are a barrier for many potential living organ donors. Living organ donation typically includes a four- to six-week recovery period and many will use their vacation time or take unpaid absences during this period to donate.
The Circle encourages other employers to follow Evergreen Nephrology to help others in need of life-saving organ transplants. You can learn more about AST's Living Donor Circle of Excellence here.
About Evergreen Nephrology
Evergreen Nephrology was built with the mission to transform kidney care by putting nephrologists in the driver's seat. By empowering nephrologists, providing financial backing, best-in-class clinical resources, and analytical insights and tools, Evergreen strives to slow disease progression, improve clinical outcomes, and increase quality of life for people living with CKD and ESRD. In addition to providing high quality healthcare and strategic partnerships, Evergreen intends to launch a Medicare Advantage Plan in 2023.
About the American Society of Transplantation
Founded in 1982, the American Society of Transplantation (AST) is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization dedicated to advancing the field of transplantation and improving patient care by promoting research, education, advocacy, organ donation, and service to the community. The society is the largest transplant organization in North America (consisting of more than 4,000 professional members) and is recognized as the premier society for transplantation. AST members are sought out as transplant experts and advocates.

- Entire team to join Federated Hermes and continue managing portfolios
PITTSBURGH, July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Federated Hermes, Inc. (NYSE: FHI), a global leader in active, responsible investing, reached a definitive agreement to acquire substantially all of the assets of C.W. Henderson and Associates, Inc., a Chicago-based registered investment advisor specializing in the management of tax-exempt municipal securities.

With more than three decades of experience and nearly 1,500 client accounts, the firm manages two active municipal bond products—one intermediate and the other short-term—both of which focus on high credit quality with limited interest rate risk while seeking to maintain credit, sector and state diversification to provide additional risk controls.
"Federated Hermes' commitment to fostering a culture that promotes excellence among each of our investment teams provides a solid platform for the C.W. Henderson team and their clients," said J. Christopher Donahue, president and chief executive officer of Federated Hermes. "Combining the proven investment acumen of C.W. Henderson's team and their active investment process with Federated Hermes' extensive distribution capabilities will give our company a new opportunity to grow our $23 billion SMA business."
The transaction was approved by the board of directors of Federated Hermes, Inc. As is typical in this type of transaction, C.W. Henderson will obtain the necessary consents from its clients and continue to manage their assets as Federated Hermes employees after the transaction closes.

MONTEREY, Calif., July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Thanks to the rapid growth and evolution of the online store, it paved the way for Retro Stage to expand its offline business -- bringing the brand directly to the public in local vintage clothing stores. The offline business model consists of launching showrooms and forming partnerships with brick-and-mortar retailers who specialize in vintage-inspired clothing.
The Offline Business Development of Retro Stage
Retro Stage was created by a group of retro enthusiasts who love the style of the 1920s, '50s, and '60s, aiming to make beautiful vintage-inspired garments for fellow fashionistas who are also attracted to the retro style. What began as a simple passion project quickly evolved into a way to preserve these aesthetics and explore new ways of applying them to modern clothing. Since introducing the Retro Stage website to the public, over 500,000 sales have been made in nearly 200 countries, and it has gained nearly 600,000 subscribers on its official social media accounts in just a few short years.
The success of the online website inspires Retro Stage to expand the business by seeking offline opportunities. Thanks to the local team's extensive groundwork at the start of the project, in early 2020, Retro Stage launched its first showroom in Los Angeles and officially began nurturing local partnerships by offering collaborative promotions such as seasonal sales, themed events, and influencer collaborations. Since then, the retro style movement has expanded to 15 stores in 8 states across the US. Even pop-country music artist Arizona Lindsey featured Retro Stage's clothing in her music video I Didn't Fit in Anyway.
The driving forces of enduring success are high-quality products and vintage inspiration. "Thanks to all of our wonderful offline partners, their warmhearted service and high-quality products shown at brick-and-mortar stores help build trust between the customers and us," the Retro Stage team said, "and thanks to our talented designers, we will continue to keep retro styles alive and design more satisfactory vintage-style clothing for our customers."
What is happening at Retro Stage?
In addition to launching a special collection based on a themed celebration each season, such as Valentine's Day, Christmas, Halloween, and Weddings, Retro Stage is constantly adding new items to categories like 1920s flapper dresses, 1950s swing dresses, 1960s pencil dresses, and vintage swimsuits, jumpsuits, and rompers. Each category has a range of representative pieces that show off their unique cuts and classic silhouettes.
The glittering sequins, dazzling fringe, and elaborate decorations symbolize the wild and vivid '20s. From ballroom dancing to the spinning Charleston, the wearer can feel the charm of the Roaring Twenties again and never stop dancing. For more stunning dresses, check out the 1920s collection.
This yellow romper with a removable floral-printed skirt, inspired by 1950s fashion, features not only a unique design but a vintage flavor as well. The wearer can also sport the romper by itself, and the floral skirt can be paired with a floral halter lace-up bikini set to DIY a unique retro-style dress. Check out Mrs. Maisel's favorite dress collection.
Who would say no to a dress covered with rose print? The rose pencil dress, with its modern design and bright colors, is the darling example of fashion from the 1960s as well as an overall iconic style that will ensure that wearers feel the retro charm. For elegant and fashionable styles, check out more 1960s dresses.
The strawberry motif and soft lace are the perfect combinations of modern and vintage styles, making the pink tankini set timeless. For a lovely and vibrant look, it's an excellent choice to show off at the pool or sunbathe on the beach. Even more elegant and unique styles are available in the summer swimsuit collection. Check out more retro bikini sets, one-piece swimsuits, tankini sets, skirted swimsuits, and swimsuit cover-ups.
Representing the beauty of nature-inspired motifs, the daisy print romper evokes a feeling of real forest greenery. The lifelike daisies on the romper make the wearers feel as if they're surrounded by fragrant flowers. It's easy to stay pleasantly cool in the summer due to the comfortable fabric and fresh colors, just like a 1950s girl camping by a stream in the forest. Check out more charming rompers.
This dark green velvet jumpsuit decorated with plum blossoms combines elegance and high fashion to help exude femininity. The voluptuous deep V neckline perfectly outlines and accentuates the bust, and the handkerchief-shaped sleeves shape the arms to achieve a slimmer look. At the same time, it also maintains the comfort and functionality of pants. Check out more vintage fashion jumpsuits.

VALLEY FORGE, Penn., July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Vanguard today announced that Vanguard Baillie Gifford Global Positive Impact Stock Fund is available for investment. The fund consists of a global equity portfolio with the potential to outperform the broad market through active management and contribute positively to solving some of the world's challenges, including social and environmental challenges.
Vanguard introduced the fund via a tax-free reorganization of the Baillie Gifford Positive Change Equities Fund. The new Vanguard fund will continue to rely on Baillie Gifford's significant expertise in fundamental equity research and impact analysis, as well as the firm's consistent framework for identifying high-quality growth companies that are driving solutions to global issues.
"We've taken a thoughtful and intentional approach to introducing ESG funds that help investors meet their long-term financial goals while also addressing their ESG investing preferences," said Dan Reyes, head of Vanguard Portfolio Review Department. "We believe Baillie Gifford's expertise positions them to build a portfolio with the potential to deliver excess return and positive impact for those investors seeking both."
About impact investing
Impact investing is an investment strategy in which portfolio managers target companies that they believe will generate long-term financial returns and generate positive social and/or environmental impact. Vanguard believes that an active approach to impact investing enables skilled managers to better navigate the complexities of identifying companies driving positive change to build a portfolio with the potential to deliver on outperformance and impact objectives. The fund's global mandate provides managers with the broadest opportunity set to identify companies that meet these objectives.
Vanguard selected Baillie Gifford for their differentiated approach to impact investing and long-term success in active management. Baillie Gifford leverages its diverse team and patience to identify companies making progress against global challenges that require creativity and a long time horizon.
Vanguard Baillie Gifford Global Positive Impact Stock Fund maintains the investment objectives and portfolio management team of its predecessor fund, ensuring consistency for shareholders. Baillie Gifford will also continue to produce an annual impact report using robust, bottom-up research that complements its investment analysis. The fund has an investment minimum of $3,000 and expense ratio of 0.59%, compared with the average expense ratio of 1.26%1 for funds in its peer category.
Vanguard's ESG lineup
Vanguard's ESG lineup reflects the evolving investment goals and preferences of some investors. The firm has offered ESG funds to U.S. investors for more than two decades and, in recent years, has broadened its lineup with products that enable investors to better align investment objectives with personal preferences by accounting for ESG considerations.
With the addition of Vanguard Baillie Gifford Global Positive Impact Stock Fund, Vanguard now has six ESG offerings in the U.S. Vanguard's exclusionary-screened equity and fixed income ETFs serve investors who want to avoid or reduce exposure to certain sectors or business-related activities that pose heightened ESG-related risks or conflict with their personal values. Vanguard's first active ESG mutual fund, Vanguard Global ESG Select Stock Fund, is designed for clients who want to invest in companies with leading ESG practices and strong business fundamentals. The Vanguard Baillie Gifford Global Positive Impact Stock Fund broadens Vanguard's overall ESG product suite and is designed for clients looking to invest in companies that have the potential to outperform the broad market as well as deliver positive change.

Investment objectives, risks, charges, expenses, and other important information about a fund are contained in the prospectus; read and consider it carefully before investing.
All investing is subject to risk, including the possible loss of the money you invest. Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss.
ESG funds are subject to ESG investment risk, which is the chance that the stocks or bonds screened by the index provider for ESG criteria generally will underperform the market as a whole or, in the aggregate, will trail returns of other funds screened for ESG criteria. The index provider's assessment of a company, based on the company's level of involvement in a particular industry or the index provider's own ESG criteria, may differ from that of other funds or of the advisor's or an investor's assessment of such company. As a result, the companies deemed eligible by the index provider may not reflect the beliefs and values of any particular investor and may not exhibit positive or favorable ESG characteristics. The evaluation of companies for ESG screening or integration is dependent on the timely and accurate reporting of ESG data by the companies. Successful application of the screens will depend on the index provider's proper identification and analysis of ESG data. The advisor may not be successful in assessing and identifying companies that have or will have a positive impact or support a given position. In some circumstances, companies could ultimately have a negative impact, or no impact.
Vanguard ETF Shares are not redeemable with the issuing Fund other than in very large aggregations worth millions of dollars. Instead, investors must buy and sell Vanguard ETF Shares in the secondary market and hold those shares in a brokerage account. In doing so, the investor may incur brokerage commissions and may pay more than net asset value when buying and receive less than net asset value when selling.
Investments in securities issued by non-U.S. companies and governments are subject to risks including country/regional risk and currency risk. These risks are especially high in emerging markets.

We’re just about halfway through meteorological summer — those warmest months of the year — and it’s going to be toasty this week.
If you looked at a chart of average temperature in Greater Boston, you would see that the warmest air typically occurs around July 21, and it’s no surprise that this week is going to be the hottest week of the summer so far.
With a frontal system approaching Monday, clouds will be plentiful yet rain will not. As the moisture moves toward the coastline, it will lose its potency, and the best chance of afternoon and evening showers and storms will be well west of Route 495 and north into New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine.

The total precipitation forecast for Monday shows no rain is expected in Greater Boston. That doesn’t mean a thunderstorm couldn’t make it east, but the odds aren’t great.
If you do get a shower before midnight, consider your town lucky. The chance of severe weather isn’t high today, but it’s also not zero. There could be some small cells that produce severe criteria of hail or damaging wind, but it won’t be widespread.
On Tuesday, clouds will give way to sunshine with temperatures at or above 90 degrees in the afternoon. This 90-degree weather is going to continue into the weekend, and many towns will experience their first heat wave — three days or more of 90-degree weather — of the season.
Our drought continues to get worse and will not improve anytime soon.
Summer droughts have been present in New England for decades. Although the climate is certainly getting warmer, as of yet we have not seen an increase in the number of droughts. Some computer models forecast what we’re seeing this summer to become more typical over the next 30 years, but this has not materialized yet.

Beaches will be a popular place this week, and there will be some relief at the water’s edge. The sun is still very strong, but we’re coming up on a month past the solstice, meaning the sun angle is lowering and we are continuing to lose daylight at more than 1.5 minutes each day. This will increase to 2 minutes next week.
Other than warm and humid nights and sunny hot days, the only other chance of a shower comes sometime later Thursday, but most people won’t see them, and the sun will be the dominant feature besides the heat.
If you’re not a fan of hot and humid weather, this week will be tough. But New England weather is ever-changing, so it’s not going to stay hot forever and it is going to rain again. | https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/07/18/metro/new-england-may-get-storm-were-also-going-get-heat-wave/ | 2022-07-18T14:18:45Z | https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/07/18/metro/new-england-may-get-storm-were-also-going-get-heat-wave/ | false |
Builder shot his two daughters and fiancée dead with shotgun during lockdown before killing himself just hours after making FaceTime call to family and ordering a takeaway, inquest hears
- Robert Needham shot dead partner Kelly Fitzgibbons, 40, at West Sussex home
- The father also shot daughters Ava, four, in the head and Lexi, two, in the chest
- He is then believed to have turned the shotgun on himself in 'diabolical' incident
- Inquest hears the family had an unremarkable first Saturday night in lockdown
- Needham was granted shotgun license despite repeatedly lying on application
- He failed to disclose police caution and two bouts of depression he had suffered
- For confidential support, call the Samaritans on 116123 or visit its website
A builder shot dead his fiancée and their two young daughters days into lockdown before killing himself - hours after making a family FaceTime call and ordering a takeaway, an inquest has heard.
Robert Needham, 42, shot Kelly Fitzgibbons, 40, and daughters, Ava, four, and Lexi, two, at their £600,000 home in Woodmancote, West Sussex, in March 2020 - a week into lockdown.
Needham, who along with Ms Fitzgibbons had racked up combined debts exceeding £30,000, is then believed to have turned the gun on himself before firing a bullet into his own head.
The family were last seen by a delivery driver who brought takeaway food on the first Saturday night of national lockdown restrictions.
Needham took part in a family FaceTime call and nothing was out of the ordinary, an inquest heard.
The family then enjoyed what appeared to have been an unremarkable night together.
Later the same evening, the two young girls got into their parents bed, where their bodies were found the next day. Ms Fitzgibbons' phone was found still plugged in beside the bed.
West Sussex Coroner's Court heard that it is impossible to know the timing or order in which they were killed, only that Needham was last.
They were all shot from close range or with the muzzle of the gun in direct contact, with Ms Fitzgibbons having suffered a defensive gunshot wound to the arm before she was shot in the head.
In her conclusions today, coroner Bridget Dolan QC apologised to the families, saying she was sorry the inquest had not answered the single biggest question.

Kelly’s twin sister Emma Ambler (pictured outside West Sussex Coroner's Court last week) said the decision by police to grant the firearms certificate cost three 'innocent' lives
Earlier, the inquest heard how Needham had been granted a shotgun license despite repeatedly lying on his application, an inquest heard.
He failed to disclose a previous police caution and did not tell Hampshire Constabulary about two bouts of depression, in 2003 and 2017, for which he had received medical treatment.
Yet when police discovered the important omissions, they gave his application the green light anyway.
Today, the family of Ms Fitzgibbons said the decision by police to grant the firearms certificate cost three 'innocent' lives.
Emma Ambler, Kelly’s twin sister, said: 'We firmly believe that if Rob hadn’t had access to a weapon that allowed him to kill them in such a fast and cowardly way, they would still be here now.
'The monitoring and information exchange between medical professionals and the police is a shambles, with both parties having different interpretations of the guidance.
'Any dishonesty on the application form or failure to declare mental health conditions or convictions, as in Rob’s case, then an individual should not expect to progress the application or be granted a firearms license.
'As the police identified themselves during the course of the inquest, five years is not nearly frequent enough for licence holder reviews. These should be carried out annually with the full cost recovery born by the applicant.'
Her views were shared by Hampshire Constabulary Chief Superintendent Nigel Lecointe, who also told the inquest that he believes new firearms applications should be carried out yearly.
Needham and Ms Fitzgibbons had been suffering financial and relationship difficulties.
In February they had exchanged a series of texts where the couple, who had been together for 11 years, agreed to a trial separation to try and repair their relationship.
But the following month Mr Needham, who had a history of cocaine use, had shown a registered firearms dealer his legal shotgun certificate and had bought a semi-automatic shotgun.
He took it home and just days later he shot his fiancée and the family dog dead and executed his two young daughters, Ava and Lexi, under the duvet of his bed.
The two girls who were described as 'angelic' and 'mischievous' by family members were found lying side by side on the double bed in their parents' bedroom.
Miss Fitzgibbons, a part-time legal secretary, was found lying face down on the floor while Mr Needham was found in the hallway with the gun cradled in his arms and the barrel pointing towards his head.
The family's Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Bill, was found dead near the bathroom with a gunshot wound.
Coroner Bridget Dolan said police had failed to properly investigate Needham's application in 2016 after it emerged he had lied.
Needham had declared that he had no history of mental health issues, nor a criminal conviction.
But the inquest, in Horsham, West Sussex, heard he had been treated for depression in 2003 and 2013 and also had a caution from police for stealing a bicycle when he was 25.
The inquest in Horsham, West Sussex heard that when a firearms enquiry officer (FEO) from Hampshire Police conducted a home visit, he questioned Needham about the application.
And after being informed that his GP would be contacted, Needham disclosed the two bouts of depression for which he had received treatment.
He also told the officer he had not declared the caution because his fiancée had completed the application and she was unaware of it.
But the hearing was told Needham had actually completed the entire application himself and a simple handwriting test would have revealed as much.
Needham and his partner Ms Fitzgibbons had two children - Ava, four, and Lexi, two

In 2016, firearms licensing guidance stated: 'Whether the applicant is found to have made a false statement is of particular relevance.
'Deliberate failure to declare relevant convictions, medical conditions or medical history tends to show unfitness regardless of whether the certificate would have been refused if the appropriate declaration had been made.'
Ms Dolan said: 'The relevance of false statements are important. High integrity is needed as there had to be a level of trust in the applicant.'
She said that none of the issues, such as the bouts of depression and police caution, would have been enough to bar him from holding a shotgun license, but that lying on the application may have been.
The coroner continued: 'They all made it clear that these matters were relevant and these matters should be disclosed and he hadn’t done that.
'He then told further lies face to face by saying it was Kelly who had completed the application and she was unaware of the caution.
'There is no record of any probing of these lame excuses the FEO.'
She said the officer had failed to show any 'investigative curiosity' when dealing with Needham's application.
Ms Dolan continued: 'None of these would have barred him from having a license but the issue is that once this obfuscation was discovered then this was clearly an important lack of candour.'
However, the coroner said there have been great progress made in tightening up firearms licensing in recent years.
She added that there was now no need for her to write a Regulation 28 letter, also known as a prevention of future deaths report, to seek changes.
Ms Dolan said: 'There is nothing in the background that suggests there was a risk, no history of violence and no history of threats of violence.'
All four were found dead at the detached property in the quiet village of Woodmancote in the evening of Sunday March 29, 2020 - just a week after lockdown was imposed
Although the couple had some financial worries and their relationship had been under strain at the time, she said there was nothing so serious as to cause such a 'diabolical' incident.
Giving her conclusion, she added: 'Having brutally murdered his family, Robert took his own life. The outstanding question is why these dreadful events happened.
'There's an awful lot to speculate on but very little evidence. I'm very sorry for you there is no explanation. Everybody who investigated this tried to find one for you. We just cannot take this point any further.
'His own family said there was no plausible explanation for his diabolical actions and I agree with that.'
The coroner recorded a conclusion unlawful killing on the deaths of Ms Fitzgibbons and Ava and Lexi Needham, and one of suicide on Robert Needham.
She added: 'I am so sorry this investigation has not been able to answer why this atrocity happened.
'These were simply horrific killings of Kelly, Ava and Lexi and It robbed the world of those two bright little girls.'

AUSTIN, Texas — On Sunday, the Lost Pines Art Center hosted "Central Texas Cares," a benefit for Uvalde.
There was live music and a silent auction, all in hopes of collecting money to donate to the Robb School Memorial Fund.
Jeff Stayton is one artist who was working on a live painting during the event. After visiting Uvalde last week and seeing the teddy bears, crosses and cards that surrounded the school, he was touched.
"At some point, I would see a periodic statement saying, 'If you see a cardinal, it's a messenger from heaven,'" he said.
So, he decided to channel that grief in a unique way. At Sunday's event, he painted 21 cardinals to represent the lives lost at Robb Elementary School on May 24.
"Whatever I'm painting is going to probably be more like cathartic," Stayton said. "And it's like, for children, it would be painting the monster."
The money raised from the painting will be donated to the Robb School Memorial Fund. Money raised from the tickets and other paintings sold will also be donated.
Patricia Rendulic, one of the organizers of the event, said they'll ensure the money gets distributed to those who need it the most.
"They'll be taking care of families' mental health, which is very important," she said.
One of the community's biggest concerns is getting trained mental health professionals to help families heal. As more information comes to light, counselor Taish Malone said survivor's guilt will set in.
"They will have sadness," she said. "They will have anger. There will be some anger with that fear. And panic attacks are very common."
They will need all the help they can get because overcoming this won't be easy.
"Sometimes, the emotions flood you so much, you really don't know how to process them," Malone said.

New Delhi: The Central Bureau of Investigation has busted an illegal wildlife trade racket and arrested three people with 26 tiger and leopards claws, officials said Monday.
The CBI acted on an intelligence that Sunny, a resident of Vikaspuri in Delhi, is in the possession of large number of tiger and leopard claws which he was going to sell to dealers, they said.
The central agency was also intimated about his other gang members who were coming from Jaipur to help him strike the deal with wildlife smugglers, officials said.
A team of officials along with experts from the Wildlife Crime Control Bureau (WCCB) and independent witnesses were sent to lay an ambush on the suspects based on the basis of source information, they said.
Sources said the claws are used in Chinese traditional medicine and some ‘tantrik’ (Occultist) rituals within the country, making them extremely valuable in the black market.
The team had maintained intense surveillance since July 14 through its source on every movement of Pamjeet Singh alias Sunny and his accomplices — Ashok Parekh and Pintal Patel — who were coming from Jaipur, they said.
The source informed them that Parekh and Patel will reach Delhi by 10 PM on July 14 and the trio were planning to sell the banned items to an unknown dealer next day near a hotel in Karol Bagh, officials said.

After visual confirmation from the source, the CBI nabbed the trio with the claws which were hidden in their clothes. The WCCB expert also confirmed the four claws to be of tiger while remaining were that of leopards, they said.
The accused were brought to CBI headquarters where the seizure memo was prepared and they were taken into custody.
The agency then started subsequent operation to arrest remaining members of the wildlife trading ring conducting searches at multiple locations in Delhi and Jaipur in which seven more claws were recovered from Jaipur, they said.

Kolkata: The 131st Durand Cup Football will be held in Guwahati, with Imphal as the additional host city for the legendary football tournament. The tournament is scheduled to kick off on August 16, 2022, at Kolkata’s Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan (VYBK), with the final slated at the same hallowed venue on September 18, 2022.
This is the first time that Asia’s oldest football tournament will be played in the states of Assam and Manipur, officials informed.
The 131st Durand will also be bigger this year, going up from 16 to 20 teams.
The Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium in Guwahati and Imphal’s Khuman Lampak stadium will be hosting the tournament alongside the Kishore Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata and the Naihati Stadium in the North 24-Parganas district of West Bengal.
The Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan, “Home of Indian Football”, will play host to 10 games, including the opening blockbuster-the Kolkata derby- between ATK Mohun Bagan and East Bengal, as well as all seven knockout games culminating in the grand finale. Guwahati and Imphal will host one of the four groups and a total of 10 games each.
Sharing his thoughts on the occasion, Lt. Gen. K.K. Repswal, Sena Medal, Vishisht Seva Medal, Chief of Staff, Eastern Command and chairman of Durand Organising Committee, said, “The Durand Cup Football Tournament is a very proud tradition of the Indian Armed forces and the Indian Army takes immense pride in organising this more than a century-old masterpiece. We had expressed last year that we wanted to expand the reach of the Durand Cup and we are extremely happy that we have been able to achieve the same this year. It would not have been possible without the enthusiastic and proactive support of the three state governments.”
“Besides the new host cities and venues, the 131st Durand Cup Edition will see many other firsts, including participation from all ISL teams, a team from the Royal State of Rajasthan and also for the very first time a four-city Trophy Tour to rev up support for the tournament and engage more fans,” he concluded.

Sharing his views, Sunando Dhar, acting general secretary, AIFF, said, “It is heart-warming to see Durand getting back its pride of place in Indian Football with a full-fledged 20-team Cup tournament being played across three states of India. The AIFF has always propagated a longer footballing calendar in the best interests of the game, and the footballers and even to meet the AFC Champions League criteria and a curtain-raising competitive Cup tournament like Durand was just what the doctor ordered. I congratulate the organisers on their brilliant effort and look forward to some eye-catching football.”
This Durand Cup edition will also see the return of spectators for the entire tournament for the first time post the pandemic. FC Goa had beaten Mohammedan Sporting in the final of the 130th edition to win the Cup last year in front of a packed VYBK after spectators were allowed in for the final three knockout games.
About Durand Cup
A symbol of India’s football history and culture, the Durand Cup is Asia’s oldest and the world’s third oldest football tournament, held between 16 top Indian football clubs across divisions. Organised by the Indian Armed Forces, the Durand Cup has been the breeding ground for India’s best footballing talent, over the years.
The inaugural edition took place in Shimla in 1888, when it started as an Army Cup, open only to the British Indian Army troops in India, but soon opened up to civilian teams.

Named after its founder, Sir Mortimer Durand, Foreign Secretary of British India from 1884 to 1894, the iconic tournament reached its 130th edition in 2021. Mohun Bagan and East Bengal have been the most successful teams, winning the tournament 16 times each.

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) — Cameron Smith made eight birdies on the final day of the British Open. His 8-under 64 was the lowest closing round at St. Andrews by the champion golfer of the year. His name on the claret jug includes his score of 268, the best ever on the Old Course.
What defined this tough-as-nails Australian in his greatest moment was a par.
Smith already had done the hard part by running off five straight birdies to start the back nine Sunday, ending the amazing streak with a two-putt from 90 feet over a massive mound that fed to the hole on the par-5 14th, giving him a one-shot lead over Rory McIlroy.
That was the score when Smith was on the 17th hole. He was in the fairway some 65 feet from the pin with the notorious Road Hole bunker in the way. Smith used his magic touch with the putter to run it along the edge of the bunker onto the green and made the 10-footer for par.
“He had to be very decisive with that one, because if you’re wondering about if the play he’s making is correct, I think it’s a really hard one,” said Cameron Young, who played with Smith and finished one shot behind him.
“I think it’s just another example of why he’s one of the very best,” Young added. “He made a really good decision and executed it perfectly. Today kind of just is more proof that he is that good, and he is one of the very, very best players in the world.”
And now Smith has a trophy to show for it.
McIlroy couldn’t make a 15-foot birdie putt in the group behind him — he couldn’t make anything all day — and Smith effectively ended it with two putts from 80 feet on the final hole to claim his first major.
Even with the claret jug on the table next to him, it all felt so surreal to the 28-year-old Smith. He was working hard on his fitness and his game. He was hopeful of results. He just wasn’t necessarily expecting three wins this year, each one raising his profile that speaks to his No. 2 world ranking, a career-best.
The question put to him Sunday evening made him laugh. Assuming someone knew nothing about golf, could he explain the difference between the TPC Sawgrass, where Smith won The Players Championship, and the Old Course?
It might be greater than the difference between filet mignon and haggis.
Smith did his best to go along in describing the Stadium Course, with its island green and deceptive shots, and a centuries-old links course that this week was so brittle and brown the balls rolled faster on the fairways than the greens.
But he also explained his quality as a player.
“I think you have to be two completely different golfers to contend at both of those golf courses,” Smith said.
And he won on both of them — one the strongest field in golf, the other the oldest major in golf. His third win this year came at Kapalua on the Plantation course with its wild changes in elevation and big greens with high wind. He beat Jon Rahm, the No. 1 player in the world.
“I think that’s just where I’m at at the moment,” Smith said. “Towards the end of last year, I had a lot of chances and really didn’t get over the line. I think that made me more eager, I guess, at the start of the year to really knuckle down and try and get over the line.
“For it to happen three times this year is pretty unreal,” he said. “I really wasn’t expecting that. I would have been happy with one.”
This was a big one. And it was a big disappointment for McIlroy, who along with Viktor Hovland started the final round tied for the lead. Smith and Young were four behind and by the end of the day, one had the silver claret jug and the other had a silver medal. Young made a 15-foot eagle on the 18th hole for a 65, tied for the lead for as long as it took Smith to tap in for birdie.
McIlroy did very little wrong and hardly anything right. He didn’t have many close looks at birdie and the few times he did, they slid by the hole.
The cheers were for McIlroy, immensely popular worldwide and especially this week, the 150th Open at the home of golf, as he tried to end his eight-year itch of watching someone else celebrate a major championship.
He knew Smith had pulled ahead with those five straight birdies.
“I had to dig deep to make birdies. And I just couldn’t,” McIlroy said. “I got beaten by the better player this week. To go out and shoot 64 to win the Open Championship at St. Andrews is a hell of a showing. Hats off to Cam.”
As McIlroy spoke to the media, he had to pause every now and then. The 18th green was behind him. There were cheers from a record crowd as Smith walked onto the green to accept the claret jug and be introduced as “champion golfer of the year.”
“There’s a worthy winner right on the 18th green right now,” McIlroy said.
After a performance like that on the Old Course — all year, really — no one could dispute that.

Horton General Hospital celebrates 150th anniversary
- Published
Staff and patients at a hospital are celebrating its 150th anniversary.
Banbury's Horton General Hospital in Oxfordshire opened in 1872 with 12 beds across two wards. Its first resident surgeon was not employed until 1926.
The hospital now employs 1,000 members of staff and saw more than 100,000 outpatients last year.
Anniversary celebrations for the hospital started on Friday and patients have said it is the "community feel" that makes it special.
Parents James and Laura Beadle said hospital staff saved their son Lucca's life and were "phenomenal" when he suffered coarctation of the aorta.
They have recently raised £12,000 for a virtual reality headset to keep patients entertained and said they would "forever be grateful" to the hospital.
Mrs Beadle, from Hook Norton, said: "It was terrifying, it seemed like a scene on Casualty or something, when you're the distressed parents, saying, 'What's happening to my baby?'
"The staff were phenomenal. Our little boy wouldn't be here today without this hospital and the staff that worked that evening. It means the world to us."
Hospital staff attended a party to mark the anniversary on Friday, and BBC Radio Oxford has teamed up with the hospital's own radio station, Radio Horton, for a simulcast on Monday evening.
The station was founded by Banbury Guardian journalists, Ted Hanson and Graham Wilson, in 1964.
Sam Smette, chair of Radio Horton, said: "They started with one programme a week, which they recorded from Ted's front room, and over the years we've obviously evolved and we now broadcast 24 hours a day."
Diane May, a sister in the hospital's outpatients department, said of the anniversary: "The Horton is unique, it's like no other hospital I've worked at. It makes you feel proud to work here."
Outpatient Jennifer Upton, added: "This is my lovely little hospital, I love it. When you're here, you're somebody, you're looked after, it's a beautiful community and I wish I was young enough to party with them."

College Ave Student Loans survey also reveals parent contributions to their child's personal college expenses include travel, phone plan, auto insurance and more
WILMINGTON, Del., July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- With the fall semester around the corner, families are figuring out how to tackle tuition bills and college expenses. And nearly 3 out of 4 (74%) are finding the cost of college surprisingly high, according to a recent College Ave Student Loans survey of parents of undergraduates conducted by Barnes & Noble College Insights™. The top three areas of unexpected higher costs were tuition and fees, room and board and a child's personal expenses.
To help manage the financial gap, more than half of families (54%) plan to borrow. This includes:
- federal student loans (43%)
- private student loans (15%)
- parent loans (18%)
For some families, they plan to use a combination of the above loans. Finding solutions to finance college is important to families – nearly all (91%) parents of college-aged students strongly agree a college degree is important for their child's future.
"Parents firmly believe that a college education is an important launch pad for their child's future," said Joe DePaulo, Co-Founder and CEO of College Ave Student Loans. "We designed the College Ave private student and parent loan experience to be fast, clear and easy so parents can stress less about the financing and focus on the bright future ahead."
In addition to the cost of college, the survey found parents help fund their child's personal expenses, too, including a phone plan (96%), auto insurance (75%), cost of travel (74%) and car purchase (44%). One-third of families (33%) also reported they give their child a monthly monetary stipend ranging from $101 to $250 each month. However, many families expect their child to also contribute to college costs; close to half (47%) expect their child to work while in college.
For families who are considering student and parent loans to help cover the costs, DePaulo offers the following tips to borrow smart:
- Plan for summer expenses. Families of freshman and sophomore students recalled spending close to $3,000 the summer before freshman year. This included electronics ($1,300 on average), dorm room essentials ($614 on average), travel and transporation ($507) and books and school supplies ($449). If you can and are willing to take on the debt yourself, parents can apply for a private parent loan from College Ave that deposits up to $2,500 in a parent savings or checking account to give you the flexibility to manage college expenses like these.
- Fill out the FAFSA. To access federal student loans, fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This form can also determine a student's eligibility for federal grants, need-based financial aid, scholarships and merit-based aid, and work study, too.
- Borrow federal loans in the student's name first. Federal student loans offer low fixed interest rates and unique repayment options, so they are always the best place to begin if you need to borrow. Just remember that there are annual and aggregate limits to how much a student can take on in federal loans, so they may not cover the full cost.
- Consider your credit. If you plan to cosign a private student loan for your child, it's important to know that credit matters. Check your score and make adjustments as needed.
- Shop around. If you plan to take out a private loan, you'll want to consider all your options. Look for good interest rates and flexible repayment terms. The College Ave Student Loans calculator can help you determine options to make your estimated monthly payment fit your budget.
- Make a plan to pay. More than half (57%) of families using federal and/or private student loans to fund their child's education said they planned to help their child pay back their student loans. One tip: making payments against a loan while your child is still in school will help you save on the total cost of the loan.
- Save when you can. Oftentimes when you set up a recurring automatic payment plan, you can receive an interest rate deduction on your loan. If you enroll in auto-pay on a College Ave student loan, you'll receive a 0.25% interest rate discount.
