NEW YORK, July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of Enservco Corporation (NYSE American: ENSV) between May 13, 2021 and April 18, 2022, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important July 19, 2022 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Enservco securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Enservco class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=6371 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than July 19, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Enservco had defective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting; (2) as a result, there were errors in Enservco's financial statements relating to, inter alia, its transactions with Cross River Partners and accounting for Employee Retention Credits ("ERCs"); (3) accordingly, Enservco would need to restate certain of its financial statements and delay the filing of its 2021 annual report with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"); (4) Enservco downplayed the true scope and severity of its financial reporting issues; (5) accordingly, Enservco could not file its delayed 2021 annual report with the SEC within its initially represented timeline; and (6) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the Enservco class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=6371 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

EU promises more Ukraine war aid and calls for sanctions unity
European Union foreign ministers promised an additional 500 million euros in military aid to Ukraine’s war chest to beef up the defense of the nation Monday as the bloc’s foreign policy chief exhorted member states not to waver in their commitment to sanctions against Russia.
The aid decision came after a video debriefing on the latest developments by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, who said he was “grateful” for the new funds, which bring the EU total to 2.5 billion euros but still urged the 27 nations to provide more.
“If anything needs to be continued, it is weapons deliveries,” said Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis, insisting it was also essential to secure the port of Odesa enough to make sure grain shipments could resume. “And anybody who can do that, obviously, this is the main industrial countries of of the Western world. They have to step up with that.”
What remains essential within the bloc, EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said, was a unity of purpose to believe that the major package of sanctions targeting Moscow will work, even if the immediate effects on the battleground aren’t always visible.
“Ukraine needs more arms,” Borrell said. “We will provide them. The war will continue.”
Borrell lashed out at critics claiming that measures including oil sanctions and monetary measures were counterproductive and hurting the EU more than Russia itself.
Turkey says agreements would be signed when negotiators meet next week. A deal would pave the way for Ukraine to export grain through Black Sea ports.
So even after he pleaded over the weekend for “strategic patience” when it came to sanctions to take hold, Borrell clearly lost patience with critics like Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who last week claimed the EU had not only shot itself in the foot but also in the lungs with the six packages of sanctions.
“There is a big debate about ‘are the sanctions effective? Are the sanctions affecting us more than Russia?’ ” Borrell said. ”Some European leaders have been saying that the sanctions were an error, were a mistake.”
“They don’t have eyes? They don’t look to the graphs? They don’t consider figures,” Borrell asked in staccato rhythm, pointing to economic figures showing that the effect on Russia was bigger than on the EU.
The EU is struggling with the circumstances because the imposition of sanctions against Russia comes at a time of surging inflation, runaway energy and food prices and the continued effect of the pandemic, all of which already dampen the EU’s economic outlook.
A Ukrainian filmmaker records the voices of war. She listens to Ukrainians and Russians in collecting a haunting oral history of the conflict.
He said Russian President Vladimir Putin was using such narratives to try to spread division within the bloc.
“I am sure Putin is counting on the democratic fatigue. I’m sure he believes that democracies are weak,” Borrell said.
“European societies cannot afford fatigue,” Borrell said. “They took the decisions on restrictive measures on the Russian economy, and they have to stick to it.”
At the same time the EU is fine-tuning existing sanctions and assessing a ban on Russian gold, which is Moscow’s second-largest export industry after energy. The Group of 7 leading industrial nations last month already committed to a gold ban, arguing that Russia has used its gold to back up its currency to circumvent the effect of several rounds of sanctions that nations around the world had already imposed on Moscow after its Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine.

I re-ignited plenty of memories when I posted about the old Odeon cinema and the Megabowl at the Stack leisure park in Dundee last week.
Lots of people got in touch with the Dundee Culture account to remember visits there.
But the place is too important to the life of the city to be consigned to the past.
The Stack turns 30 this year and, after a few lean years, I’m pleased to say it’s thriving again.
Lots of people still swear by it for a great shopping experience, as well as reliving happy memories from years gone by.
When it opened in 1992, the Stack was part of an ambitious plan for Lochee’s regeneration.
New retail and leisure space replaced the old Camperdown Works jute factory, with Cox’s Stack – the plant’s 282ft chimney – remaining as the dominant symbol of the park.
It’s also one of the things that made the park stand out – quite literally – from all the other retail sites in Dundee.
And for a long time it was THE place to go.
Living the young Dundee dream at the Stack
From young Dundonians having their first dates at the Odeon cinema to clubbers partying the night away at the Venue, the Stack offered something for everyone – me included.
❤️🎳😍 Some brilliant childhood memories were made here for me. I miss this place! #FlashbackFriday
📍 Megabowl
📸 Courtsey of @UoD_Archives_RM pic.twitter.com/jl9k5dEa9N— Dundee Culture (@DundeeCulture) July 15, 2022
The Megabowl was a highlight of my childhood – for the birthday parties, Zapp Zone, Wimpy and, of course, the bowling.
I went there a lot when I was younger, as did many of my friends from school.
It was a great time to be a kid and the Megabowl is still hugely missed among people of my generation.
There were other attractions too. I went to the old Tesco superstore every Saturday to add to my collection of Doctor Who DVDs.
And then things went downhill for the park.
I was gutted when I heard the Megabowl was shutting down and sadder still to see the Stack abandoned over time.
If you go on Google Maps, you can see what it was like during this period.
The buildings are boarded up. There’s a very empty car park and the shutters are down on the old Tesco which had moved to South Road by this point.
Anyone looking at those old images will see that what the park needed was some TLC. And luckily that’s exactly what happened.
The old Stack is back and so are the crowds
Go to the Stack retail park today and you’ll find most of the outlets are filled. There’s a renewed sense of vibrancy about the place.
When I visited for the first time in years there were dozens of parked cars.
Going in and out of the shops I couldn’t help smiling.
It made me so happy to see it full of life again.
And now I’ve got just one wish – bring back the Megabowl.
Dundee is crying out for a new bowling alley.
And I’d love to think we might one day have a place where people like me can make happy memories again.

BANGOR, Maine — A detective who created the viral “Duck of Justice” when he rescued a faux waterfowl headed for the trash bin is retiring to write a book.
Lt. Tim Cotton combined his sense of humor with the Bangor Police Department's social media account to show the human side of police work.
His “Duck of Justice” became a viral sensation as the fowl appeared in various locations before finding a permanent roost in the police department, where author Stephen King and others have stopped by for photos.
Along the way, Cotton helped put the city of 30,000 on the social media map with 330,000 Facebook followers — including many outside Maine.
Cotton, 59, told the Bangor Daily News that it’s been frustrating in recent years to watch anti-police sentiment grow nationwide as officers grapple with how to handle tough issues like mental illness and substance abuse.
“Over the last 10 years, society has decided they don’t want police involved and yet they call police for each and every issue,” he said. “We’ve taken on that responsibility because there was no one else to call."
In his retirement, Cotton will continue posting to the Duck of Justice’s Facebook page for the police department while pursuing his writing career. He has already published two books.
In the meantime, people should continue to heed the department's oft-repeated advice: “Keep your hands to yourself, leave other people’s things alone, and be kind to one another.”

A British ice cream cone manufacturer has had to lay on extra deliveries to deal with demand, as the popularity of the frozen treat soars in the extremely high temperatures.
Antonelli, producer of the only waffle cones to be made in the UK as well as ice-cream ingredients and decorations, said smaller, independent ice cream parlours have been asking for last-minute deliveries as they struggle to cope with demand.
National sales manager Gary Brooks told the PA news agency: “Manufacturers of ice cream, from small, independent parlours who make their own to bigger people, they’ll all look at the weather, and it’s the smaller ones that tend to get caught out a little bit because they’re never going to put as much stock down as, say, a Wall’s or something like that.”
He added: “They will look at the weather and go ‘Oh crikey, we’re gonna get wiped out in the next…’ so then they come to us and they need a delivery, like, tomorrow.
“That’s the biggest thing that affects us. is that people want that delivery instantly.”
“I mean, we have people (saying) ‘I need it next day’, ‘I need it on a Saturday’, we don’t normally do Saturdays.”
The Manchester-based company keenly monitors the Met Office forecasts in advance to ensure they have enough supply, but they have nonetheless needed to adapt to the current climate.
Mr Brooks said: “We’re expecting a busy time in the summer anyway just because of the nature of the business – but when you get a weather surge like this, we will see that our stocks that were maybe planned in for August and September selling will get depleted.”
He added: “Obviously we’ve known about this weather for a couple of weeks, because we’re looking at the long-term.
“We keep our eye on the weather all the time, because we know that it makes a massive difference in this industry. And as soon as the sun comes out, it’s a different business altogether. So, we will have to react production-wise, definitely.”
Asked about whether the hot temperatures were a boost to sales, he said: “The staycation was a massive thing for this industry last year because people remembered about Britain’s holiday (industry) and on British holidays, you eat ice cream. So that, and then a nice surge in weather now.
“It’s prolonged weather that really takes its toll. A short surge like this, it’s not a problem at all. If this carries on for three to four weeks, then we will be looking at that now and just trying to gauge what’s going to happen.
“Of course, we get very good at weather watching.”
Supermarket chain Iceland said it saw its best ever day for ice cream sales on Saturday, beating the previous record set in summer 2019 by as much as 12%.
The most popular ice cream product was the chain’s own brand strawberry and vanilla cones. | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/uk-world/3506284/demand-for-ice-cream-soars-as-brits-try-to-keep-cool-in-heatwave/ | 2022-07-18T19:38:18Z | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/uk-world/3506284/demand-for-ice-cream-soars-as-brits-try-to-keep-cool-in-heatwave/ | true |

Expert advice on when to restart federal student loan payments
Repayment hiatus set to expire August 31
InvestigateTV - Federal student loan payments have been suspended since March 2020 and during that time millions of Americans took a break from paying back their loans.
However, the program is due to resume August 31 this year. While it is possible the date will be pushed back again, experts suggested you should plan now for when they do restart.
According to the most recent federal data 500,000 people continued to make payments during the suspension, but that number only makes up little more than 1% of all 42.9 million federal loan borrowers.
Michael Joyce, with the financial firm Agili, said you should continue to pause federal loan payments as long as you have the option, and instead tackle those private student loans.
”Take the opportunity to pay those down, so that when the deferral on the government supplied loans comes to an end, you’ll be in better shape to make those payments at that time,” Joyce said.
If you don’t have any private student loans, he said set aside a little extra money each month for the federal student loans so once they come back from deferral you are ready and able to make payments.

Verbal insults can have a harsh effect on people, leaving them disheartened. Scientists recently studied how an affront impacts individuals and evokes a negative emotion as part of a study. It was concluded that a verbal insult is akin to receiving small slap in the face, while studying the reactions of participants. As part of a recent study published in published in Frontiers in Communication, researchers at the Utrecht University examined how differently individuals process verbal insults as compared to compliments from another person.
“We assume that verbal insults trigger a cascade of rapidly consecutive or overlapping processing effects and that different parts of that cascade might be differently affected by repetition, with some of them rapidly wearing off, and others remaining strongly responsive for a long time,” said Dr Marijn Struiksma, of Utrecht University, corresponding author of the study that was published in Frontiers in Communication.
Struiksma and his team began by applying EEG and skin conductance electrodes on 79 female participants. They were then made to read a series of repeated statements that has three different speech acts insults, compliments, and neutral, factually correct statements. The researchers then tried to analyse if the impact of the statements depended upon the person aimed at.
For this, half of the three sets of statements had the participant's own name while other statements featured someone else's name. While there was no personal interaction between the participants, they were told that three different men made the statements.
Researchers observed that even in the unnatural environment of a lab and with the statements made by fictitious people, verbal insults can still have an impact. In addition, it also did not matter who the insult was meant for.
The EEG results showed that the insults had an effect on P2 amplitude that got robust with repetitions and did not depend on the individual whom the insult was aimed at. “Our study shows that in a psycholinguistic laboratory experiment without real interaction between speakers, insults deliver lexical ‘mini slaps in the face', such that the strongly negative evaluative words involved that a participant reads, automatically grab attention during lexical retrieval, regardless of how often that retrieval occurs,” Struiksma explained.

NEW YORK, July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of Enservco Corporation (NYSE American: ENSV) between May 13, 2021 and April 18, 2022, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important July 19, 2022 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Enservco securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Enservco class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=6371 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than July 19, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Enservco had defective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting; (2) as a result, there were errors in Enservco's financial statements relating to, inter alia, its transactions with Cross River Partners and accounting for Employee Retention Credits ("ERCs"); (3) accordingly, Enservco would need to restate certain of its financial statements and delay the filing of its 2021 annual report with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"); (4) Enservco downplayed the true scope and severity of its financial reporting issues; (5) accordingly, Enservco could not file its delayed 2021 annual report with the SEC within its initially represented timeline; and (6) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the Enservco class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=6371 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

It' a new age, folksy song and lyrically relevant, this a-rock number is what one really has come on to expecting every single moment of an audio video which doesn t quite deliver! She made you come. We re gonna win it out next and I think most fans like our front end and hope to win tomorrow so we know where our best spot can give a strong shot to putt that number, I would definitely say more than you, to be specific Shawn Marcus Dromgoole's family has lived in the same Nashville neighborhood for 56 years. One day he found himself afraid to go for a walk.
"I had a full-blown panic attack; there was a forcefield in front of this porch," Dromgoole said. "I couldn't get past this step."
Dromgoole says he didn't want to be the end of his family line.
"I was 21 when Trayvon Martin died. I had lived past Tamir Rice. I lived past all these news stories, and I became terrified that I was going to be a news story number," he said.
He felt frustrated that he didn't feel safe in the neighborhood he's lived his entire life.
"On Nextdoor, there were posts constantly about 'suspicious-looking Black man walking down the street,'" Dromgoole said. "There were incidents where the police would stop me and ask me to show ID."
So, he also went on Nextdoor posting that he couldn't go for a walk in his own neighborhood because he was scared for his life. The response from his community in Nashville was overwhelming. Hundreds of people gathered to go for a walk with Dromgoole.
"In the midst of ugly presidential elections and ugly racial issues, people still showed up to get to know their neighbors," Dromgoole said. "And it was so moving. And for the past two years, that's what we've done. We've walked we walked together nine states. We walked with two people or 200 people."
He's walked in states like New York, Pennsylvania, California, and Ohio. People like Bryard Huggins and Joyce Shulman have hosted Dromgoole for a community walk.
"What Shawn is doing that I believe is super important is he's raising awareness of that fear that nobody should have to worry about," Huggins said.
"Work around building community, the work around disrupting the loneliness epidemic, the work towards dismantling institutionalized and community racism, all of that work is going to take a long time," Shulman said. "You got to play the long game. And what Shawn is doing on this deeply personal. Grassroots community kind of basis, I believe, is one of the critical elements of making that happen."
Dromgoole says it's not a protest but rather a way to way to connect with your neighbors.
"He calls it the walk sound, which I love so much," Shulman said. "Those conversations that happen when people start walking together."
His goal is to do a walk in every state to help end racial profiling.
"We're in the process of forming it into a nonprofit that's called More Than a Walk," Dromgoole said.
He says this is God's calling for him, and he has so much hope in humanity that change can happen.
"If this is what I have to do to make sure that no one feels scared to walk in the neighborhood again, I'll do it for the rest of my life," Dromgoole said. | https://www.abcactionnews.com/news/national/wewalkwithshawn-is-a-national-movement-to-help-save-lives-end-racial-profiling | 2022-07-18T19:42:28Z | https://www.abcactionnews.com/news/national/wewalkwithshawn-is-a-national-movement-to-help-save-lives-end-racial-profiling | true |

Late North Dakota Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem's spokeswoman requested his state email account be deleted the day after his death.
Stenehjem, 68, died Jan. 28 from cardiac arrest. About 24 hours after announcing his death, spokeswoman Liz Brocker requested Stenehjem's email account be deleted, according to emails obtained Monday by The Bismarck Tribune.
"First thing Monday, could you have Wayne's nd.gov email account shut down and the emails in his in box, in box folders, sent items - deleted," Brocker wrote to the office's information technology/criminal justice information services director.
Brocker said she and then-Chief Deputy Attorney General Troy Seibel went in Jan. 29 and planned to meet the next day. She said she would search for emails Stenehjem's wife, Beth, might want and print them off.
"We want to make sure no one has an opportunity to make an Open Record request for his emails, especially as he kept EVERYTHING. This was approved by Troy," Brocker wrote.

New Attorney General Drew Wrigley and Deputy Claire Ness said Friday they learned in early July of Stenehjem's and Seibel's email accounts being deleted while processing a records request for the Tribune related to a $1.8 million construction cost overrun on a leased building in south Bismarck.
Gov. Doug Burgum in February appointed Wrigley to complete the remaining months of Stenehjem's term. Wrigley must win election in November to continue serving beyond 2022.
Seibel told the Tribune Friday he doesn't recall a conversation about Stenehjem's email account. Seibel also said he had no control over how his email account was handled after he resigned.
Stenehjem's "entire state email account" was deleted Jan. 31 -- days before his Feb. 3 funeral -- "at the instruction of a nonsupervisory, non-attorney employee of the Attorney General’s Office who stated the action was approved by then-Deputy Attorney General Seibel," according to a statement Friday from Wrigley's office.
Wrigley said Seibel gave verbal approval to the employee, who relayed it to IT staff.
Seibel's entire email account was deleted May 23 "at the instruction of the same nonsupervisory, non-attorney employee of the Attorney General’s Office," according to the office.
Wrigley said the deletion was done "without authorization."
Seibel's emails had been "culled through extensively to see whether there were loose ends, some work, some follow-up that needed to be done," a kind of "triaging" that ended after two weeks, concluding with the account's deletion, Wrigley said.
Wrigley declined to name the employee or say whether he or she were disciplined, citing an "internal personnel matter," but said he will disclose those details "eventually."
He said he and Ness did express their "surprise and disappointment" to the employee.
Wrigley said the deleted accounts bring no "legal implications" for any pending records requests and no violations of office policy. He said his office will formalize a policy for preserving the emails of the attorney general, deputy and office division directors.
"They will never be deleted," Wrigley said.
He said he "saw no evidence of what I would call a bad intent or a nefarious intent" in the accounts' deletion. He said he sees "no indication of anything that would lead me to conclude that there would need to be an outside criminal investigation."
Brocker, when asked about the deleted emails on Friday, referred the Tribune's query to someone else in the office.

Which is best: nonstick or stainless steel skillets?
Skillets, or frying pans, are versatile pans that can be used for shallow frying, stir frying, sauteing, braising, searing and more. If you’re considering buying a new skillet, you might be wondering whether a nonstick skillet or stainless steel skillet is best.
Nonstick skillets are easy to use and clean, but they have limited shelf lives due to the nonstick coating, while stainless steel skillets are trickier to use without causing food to stick but are significantly more durable.
Nonstick skillets
Nonstick skillets are frying pans that feature a nonstick coating on the cooking surface. As the name suggests, this coating prevents food from sticking to the pan for easier cooking and cleanup. Some nonstick coatings are made using substances such as PTFE, which are deemed safe by the FDA but some people still worry about using. Other manufacturers avoid these controversial chemicals in favor of ceramic nonstick or hard anodized aluminum coatings.
You can buy cheap nonstick skillets for less than $10 apiece, while the most durable nonstick offerings cost as much as $60 per pan. For more information on nonstick pans, check out the full guide to nonstick cookware sets at BestReviews.
Nonstick skillet pros
- You don’t need to learn any special techniques to use nonstick pans, so they’re suitable for foods of all levels to use.
- It’s easy to clean nonstick frying pans after use; they’ll never need soaking or scrubbing to remove food.
- Due to the nonstick coating, you can cook food with just a little oil or even no oil at all, and it won’t stick to the pan.
- Some nonstick pans are designed with extra-tough nonstick coatings, so they’re not prone to scratching or chipping in the way that conventional nonstick skillets are.
Nonstick skillet cons
- If you want to avoid controversial chemicals such as PTFE in your nonstick pans, you’ll need to shop around a little.
- Conventional nonstick skillets have coatings that can easily scratch or chip, so they don’t last as long as stainless steel frying pans.
Best nonstick skillets

Among the most durable nonstick skillets on the market, this pan doesn’t scratch, chip or flake — even when using metal utensils — and is oven safe up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. It feels sturdy and the nonstick coating stays effective through regular use.
Sold by Amazon
Stainless steel skillets
Stainless steel doesn’t conduct heat all that effectively, so the best stainless steel pans are made from at least three layers with a core of aluminum for its quick and even heating properties.
Affordable stainless steel skillets start at less than $20, while the most expensive options can cost as much as $200 apiece. If you want to know more about stainless steel skillets, take a look at the BestReviews guide to stainless steel cookware sets.
Stainless steel skillet pros
- Unlike the coatings on nonstick pans, stainless steel won’t chip or flake off over time, so a decent stainless steel skillet can potentially last decades if you don’t damage it.
- Because of their all-metal construction, stainless steel frying pans are oven safe and broiler safe up to between 500 and 600 degrees Fahrenheit, which is great when you’re cooking dishes that start on the cooktop and finish in the oven.
- Stainless steel is a nonreactive metal, so it doesn’t react with the foods being cooked in it and won’t affect the taste of the finished dish.
- You can safely use metal utensils with stainless steel cookware, which isn’t the case for most nonstick pans.
Stainless steel skillet cons
- While stainless steel skillets can be affordable, high-end options are extremely expensive.
- It’s easy for food to stick to stainless steel skillets, so you’ll need to use more oil than you would in a nonstick frying pan and learn some techniques to avoid sticking, whereas nonstick skillets are easy for anyone to use without any particular cooking skill or knowledge.

Should you get a nonstick skillet or a stainless steel skillet?
There’s no clear winner between a nonstick skillet and a stainless steel skillet; it depends what matters to you and what you want from your cookware. If ease of use and pain-free cleanup is of the utmost importance to you, nonstick skillets are the obvious choice, while those who favor durability will prefer a stainless steel skillet. Ultimately, most keen cooks own at least one of each: a stainless steel skillet for when you need a workhorse of a pan and a nonstick skillet for cooking food prone to sticking.

LOOK: Rare spotted eagle ray lands on family’s boat
DAUPHIN ISLAND, Ala. (WPMI) – An Alabama family participating in the state’s deep sea fishing rodeo Saturday were met with a big surprise when a whopper of a ray landed in their boat.
A spotted eagle ray landed in the family boat of April Jones.
“Very scared, very scared,” Jones said. “Not only the fact that we have this wild creature in our boat, we couldn’t get her out, and the boat is not very big and she was weighing the back of the boat down.”
The incident happened near the Dauphin Island lighthouse.
“My son said he thought it was a shark at first because we didn’t know, and my husband’s papa thought it was a shark too because there were a lot of sharks around,” Jones said.
It was about five feet wide and weighed 400 pounds.
“The sting ray just flounced around in the back of the boat and we couldn’t get her out,” Jones said.
After the family screamed the whole way to the dock, they discovered she wasn’t alone.
“When they were getting her out of the boat they found there were four babies that had passed away,” Jones said. “I’m assuming with her being in stress that she delivered them early.”
It had crushed fishing poles and even swiped Jones when it landed on the boat. She said it hit the right half of her body and had to go to the emergency room for a strained muscle.
The Dauphin Island Sea Lab told Jones it was a one in a million chance for this to happen. She also found out some other cool facts about the spotted eagle ray.
“Her spots on her are just unique to her, and they’re almost like your fingerprint on your finger,” Jones said. “If you ever see this stingray, you can identify them if it’s the one you’ve seen before by their spots.”
The spotted eagle ray babies were taken to the Dauphin Island Sea Lab. This particular one was released back into the water.

7-Eleven Shootings Update: 'Stone-cold serial killer' to be charged in LA-area slayings
Prosecutors plan to charge a Los Angeles man in connection with three murders across Southern California, calling the suspect a "stone-cold serial killer," as part of a deadly robbery crime spree last week at a half-dozen 7-Elevens and a doughnut shop.
Investigators have linked Malik Patt, 20, to the fatal shooting of a homeless man in Los Angeles on July 9, as well as the July 11 deaths of a 7-Eleven clerk in Brea and a man who intervened in a robbery in a 7-Eleven parking lot in Santa Ana.
(Previous coverage in video above.)
Three other people were shot and wounded in the July 11 violence, one of whom remained gravely injured on Monday, according to Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer. Patt faces a slew of charges that, if convicted, could result in the death penalty or a life sentence without the possibility of parole.
“Malik Patt is a stone-cold serial killer," Spitzer said Monday in a news conference announcing the filing of criminal charges. "There’s no other way to describe him. He executed innocent people and shot others.”
The July 11 robberies occurred within five hours in San Bernardino, Orange and Riverside counties, setting off an intensive manhunt that resulted in the arrests of the two men in Los Angeles on Friday. Authorities say Jason Payne, 44, was Patt's accomplice but was not involved in the killings.
Both men are being held in jail and are expected to be arraigned Tuesday. It was not immediately clear whether they had attorneys who could speak on their behalf.
Matthew Hirsch, a 40-year-old clerk, was shot and killed at the Brea store, and Matthew Rule, 24, was shot and killed in the parking lot of the Santa Ana store while trying to intervene in the robbery of someone else. The identify of the homeless man who was slain in Los Angeles has not been made public. | https://www.kcra.com/article/7-eleven-shootings-update-stone-cold-serial-killer-to-be-charged-in-la-area-slayings/40643457 | 2022-07-18T19:52:16Z | https://www.kcra.com/article/7-eleven-shootings-update-stone-cold-serial-killer-to-be-charged-in-la-area-slayings/40643457 | false |
Manchester City step up interest in Brighton's Marc Cucurella as a replacement for Oleksandr Zinchenko, as the Ukraine star's £32m move to Arsenal nears completion
- Oleksandr Zinchenko won nine trophies in just six seasons with Manchester City
- He is now close to completing a move to Mikel Arteta's Arsenal for £32 million
- City are looking to bring in Marc Cucurella as a replacement for the Ukraine star
- Brighton currently value their star 23-year-old defender at around £50m
Manchester City are moving for Brighton's Marc Cucurella after Oleksandr Zinchenko agreed a £32million switch to Arsenal.
Zinchenko remains with City at their training camp in Houston but is set for a move to the Emirates Stadium after finalising personal terms.
The 25-year-old has turned down previous chances to depart the Etihad Stadium but reuniting with Mikel Arteta proved a major pull for the versatile Ukraine international.
Oleksandr Zinchenko won nine major trophies in just six seasons with Manchester City
He has played 128 games for City in six seasons with the club, winning an impressive nine major trophies.
The Ukraine international has rarely been played in his preferred position though, as Pep Guardiola has often used him as a left back rather than in midfield.
City identified Cucurella as a replacement were Zinchenko to go but still have negotiation to do with Brighton, who value the Spaniard at around £50m.
Brighton value their star 23-year-old defender Marc Cucurella at around £50m
Stuttgart's Borna Sosa is on their list of alternative options to Cucurella if Brighton demand too much money for the Spaniard.
City will be looking to extend their recent dominance in the Premier League next season. They have won four of the last five titles, and strengthened well this summer by bringing in Erling Haaland and Kalvin Phillips.
They get their league defence underway against West Ham at the London Stadium on Sunday, August 7. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11025699/Manchester-City-look-Marc-Cucurella-Olexsandr-ZInchenkos-Arsenal-nears-completion.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-07-18T19:52:16Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11025699/Manchester-City-look-Marc-Cucurella-Olexsandr-ZInchenkos-Arsenal-nears-completion.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true |
SAN FRANCISCO — An Oakland man was arrested for allegedly reporting a false bomb threat over the weekend, prompting the evacuation of hundreds of people from the San Francisco International Airport’s international terminal, police said Monday.
Addison was booked into jail in San Mateo County, where the airport is located. It was not immediately known if Addison has an attorney who can speak on his behalf. San Mateo County prosecutors did not immediately return an email seeking comment.
The bomb threat was reported Friday night, and authorities discovered a suspicious package, San Francisco police said. Investigators at the airport “deemed the item possibly incendiary.”
Police said Friday that a man had been taken into custody,. but released no other information.
The airport’s AirTrain and the Bay Area Rapid Transit trains were also suspended. Passenger drop-offs and pick-ups were limited to the airport’s domestic terminals.

Ex factor: The baseball legend began dating superstar Jennifer Lopez in 2017 but ultimately called off their engagement in 2021 amid allegations that Rodriguez was unfaithful
The baseball legend began dating superstar Jennifer Lopez in 2017. The A-list couple got engaged in 2019 but were forced to postpone the wedding due to the pandemic.
They ultimately broke up in 2021 amid allegations that Rodriguez was unfaithful.
Jlo shocked fans on Sunday by sharing the news that she and her actor fiance got married in a Las Vegas chapel in her newsletter.
She wrote: '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. We barely made it to the little white wedding chapel by midnight. They graciously stayed open late a few minutes, let us take pictures in a pink Cadillac convertible, evidently once used by the king himself (but if we wanted Elvis himself to show, that cost extra and he was in bed).'
I do: Jlo shocked fans on Sunday by sharing the news that she and her actor fiance got married in a Las Vegas chapel in her newsletter
Jennifer also revealed she wore a dress from an old movie, while Ben wore a jacket from his closet for the ceremony.
She said: 'We read our own vows in the little chapel and gave one another the rings we'll wear for the rest of our lives. In the end it was the best possible wedding we could have imagined.'
The chart-topping star also signed the letter using the name 'Jennifer Lynn Affleck'.
While the nuptials were understated, the lovebirds are planning on having a big wedding with friends and family in the near future, according to People and TMZ.
Mr. and Mrs. Affleck 'plan on having a bigger party so they can celebrate with family and friends,' a source told People.
'We read our own vows in the little chapel and gave one another the rings we'll wear for the rest of our lives. In the end it was the best possible wedding we could have imagined.'
And, TMZ shared on Monday morning the big bash will take place at Ben's home in the coastal town of Riceboro, Georgia which is just outside of Savannah.
Affleck purchased the home in 2003 when he was still with Lopez, paying just over $7million.
After meeting on the set of the film Gigli in 2002, Jen and Ben struck up a romance and took on the collective name 'Bennifer,' bestowed upon them by fans.
Following a proposal complete with a six-carat pink diamond ring, the twosome planned a lavish September 2003 wedding in Santa Barbara.
However, just days before the date the duo announced that they planned to postpone the event.
The new rock: Bennifer was previously engaged in 2003 but the pair called off the wedding and broke up - only to find love again 20 years later
'When we found ourselves seriously contemplating hiring three separate "decoy brides" at three different locations, we realized that something was awry,' they said in a joint statement.
But months later they ended their romance completely, and married other people shortly thereafter.
Lopez united with Marc Anthony and Affleck wed Jennifer Garner, with both relationships producing kids.
Twins Emme and Max, 14, are shared by Jennifer and Marc while Violet, 16, Seraphina, 13, and Sam, ten, belong to Affleck and Garner.

Officials halt search for Alaska grandma after toddler found
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Alaska State Troopers have have halted their search for a missing woman whose 2-year-old grandchild was found alone last week in a locked car stuck in mud on a rural road. Authorities believe the child was alone in the car for two days. The Alaska Department of Public Safety said Saturday that no clues to Mary Dawn Wilson’s whereabouts have emerged since the 69-year-old woman’s Ford Focus was found last Thursday with the child and personal items believed to belong to Wilson. Officials say the search could resume if new information is reported. The department says there is no evidence of foul play connected with Wilson’s disappearance. | https://kion546.com/news/ap-national-news/2022/07/18/officials-halt-search-for-alaska-grandma-after-toddler-found/ | 2022-07-18T19:54:07Z | https://kion546.com/news/ap-national-news/2022/07/18/officials-halt-search-for-alaska-grandma-after-toddler-found/ | false |

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota's only abortion clinic, the Red River Women's Clinic, has gone to state court seeking to declare the state's imminent abortion ban is contrary to the state constitution.
The lawsuit also seeks to at least delay the July 28 date for the ban to kick in.
Clinic director Tammy Kromenaker has said the lawsuit should at least give more time to provide abortion care in North Dakota while she prepares for a possible relocation a few miles away to Moorhead, Minnesota, where abortion remains legal.
Here are some questions and answers about abortion law and the clinic's complaint:
___
WHAT IS THE TRIGGER LAW?
North Dakota is one of about 10 states that enacted trigger laws to ban abortion in the event the U.S. Supreme Court overturned its landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling legalizing the procedure nationwide.
The North Dakota Legislature passed its trigger law in 2007 that made abortion illegal in the state except in cases of rape, incest and the life of the mother. The measure said the ban will go into effect 30 days after the “issuance of the judgment in any decision of the United States Supreme Court which, in whole or in part, restores to the states authority to prohibit abortion.”
WHAT ABOUT THE CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION?
The clinic argues that state law guarantees the rights of life, liberty, safety and happiness, all of which protect the right to abortion.
North Dakota courts faced a similar question in a 2011 bill meant to regulate medication abortions. In declaring that law unconstitutional, Cass County Judge Wickham Corwin said it would essentially eliminate the procedure altogether and illegally restrict abortion rights.
The case went to the state Supreme Court, where views on the constitutional question were mixed. Chief Justice Gerald VandeWalle and Justice Dale Sandstrom both found the 2011 ban constitutional. Justices Carol Ronning Kapsner and Mary Muehlen Maring agreed with Corwin's finding. Justice Daniel Crothers said the issue need not be decided by the state's highest court.
It takes four justices to declare a law unconstitutional and the result was a reversal of Corwin's ruling.
WAS THE BAN CERTIFIED TOO EARLY?
North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley last month authorized the abortion ban to start July 28, stating that conditions for enforcement “have been satisfied.”
The lawsuit said Wrigley acted too early. It argues that even though the Supreme Court released its opinion on June 24, it does not issue its judgment to the lower courts until at least 25 days after the opinion. The judgment is a separate order from the option, the suit said.
Wrigley said his office is “carefully reviewing and evaluating” the complaint and will not comment further until they file their response to the suit, which is due on Tuesday.
WHAT DO EXPERTS SAY?
Steven Morrison, a University of North Dakota law professor who wrote a brief for the 2011 case, said the clinic faces an uphill battle on the constitutional question because the state Supreme Court has a history of being supportive of abortion restrictions.
“Simply because Roe vs. Wade is overturned doesn’t suggest to me the North Dakota Supreme Court or any district court judge in North Dakota is going to start changing their tune and start reading into the state constitution’s right to abortion," Morrison said.
Of the justices who heard the 2011 case, only VandeWalle and Crothers remain, but the court hasn't become more liberal, Morrison said. He noted that VandeWalle, the author of the 2011 opinion, is not seen as conservative by North Dakota standards and is viewed as an “intelligent, perceptive judge who is willing to listen to both sides.”
VandeWalle was “very clear” in his majority opinion of the 2011 medication abortion measure that state law doesn’t offer protection for abortion, said Laura Hermer, a Hamline Mitchell law professor who specializes in abortion cases. She believes Wrigley was premature with the trigger ban date.
However, Hermer said that the lawsuit is likely just delaying what the clinic "considers to be the inevitable.”
WHEN WILL THE SUIT BE DECIDED?
That’s unclear. Experts say it’s likely that a district judge will hit pause on the abortion ban to give the players time to lay out arguments on the constitutionality. And a quick ruling could add fuel to an appeal.
Meanwhile, a GoFundMe page established to help pay for the clinic’s transition from Fargo to Moorhead has raised nearly $1 million.
MORE ABOUT THE TRIGGER BAN
Meanwhile, doctors and hospitals say they have concerns about how the looming ban fits with existing state law on how they may handle dangerous pregnancies.
The Abortion Control Act, passed by the state in 2013, would in theory protect doctors who perform abortions if a pregnant patient is deemed to be at serious risk of substantial and irreversible impairment. The trigger law only mentions defenses for doctors who perform the procedure to save the life of the mother. The trigger law has exceptions for abortions in cases of rape or incest, the Abortion Control Act does not.
“The are some serious concerns about the inconsistencies,” said Courtney Koebele, executive director of the North Dakota Medical Association. | https://www.ncadvertiser.com/news/article/EXPLAINER-Challenge-pending-to-North-Dakota-17312551.php | 2022-07-18T20:01:09Z | https://www.ncadvertiser.com/news/article/EXPLAINER-Challenge-pending-to-North-Dakota-17312551.php | true |

Qatar Air chief says home-working 'epidemic' fuels travel chaos
FARNBOROUGH, England, July 18 (Reuters) - The head of Qatar Airways on Monday said an "epidemic" of home working has contributed to staff shortages that are being widely blamed for travel disruption in Europe this summer.
The aviation sector is struggling to secure staff needed to cope with a post-pandemic surge in air travel, prompting London's Heathrow Airport to impose curbs on capacity to avoid delays, in a move that led to a public spat with Dubai's Emirates.
Speaking to reporters at the Farnborough Airshow, Qatar Airways Chief Executive Akbar Al Baker declined to comment directly on Heathrow, where he is on the board of directors. The Qatar Investment Authority owns 20% of Britain's busiest hub.
"We face the same problem in France, Belgium, Holland and Germany," he said.
"So it is actually an epidemic in our industry. This all happened because people learned to get easy money from working out of their homes, and fewer people now want to come and do the jobs that they were doing," Al Baker said.
"This has all brought a huge impact on airports, right across Europe, and of course Heathrow is is one of the larger hubs in Europe."
Unions in Britain have accused airlines and airports of using the opportunity of the pandemic to cut jobs and pay. Airlines and airports meanwhile accuse each other of failing to prepare adequately for a post-pandemic surge in travel demand.
According to recent data, there are 400,000 fewer workers in Britain than at the start of the pandemic.

Toys "R" Us will be in every U.S. Macy's in the next few months, part of an expanded partnership with the toy retailer's parent company, WHP Global.
The toy stores will range in size from 1,000 square feet in smaller locations to up to 10,000 square feet in flagship Macy's in Atlanta, Chicago, Honolulu, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York and San Francisco. The Toys "R" Us footprints may expand during the peak holiday season.
The stores will open beginning in late July through Oct. 15. Macy's plans some customer-friendly perks, including demonstration tables for new toys and a life-size Geoffrey giraffe photo op.
The once-storied toy store went bankrupt and closed all its stores in 2018. It has attempted several unsuccessful comebacks via various owners.
But Toys "R" Us got a new lease on life last year thanks to Macy's partnership, when the two companies agreed to sell toys on Macy's website and opened shops-within-shops at 400 department stores. Toys "R" Us products have been available on Macy's website and ToysRUs.com since last August.
WHP Global bought the toy retailer from Tru Kids Inc., which took over the failing brand in a liquidation sale. Tru Kids had opened stores in New Jersey and Texas, but it closed them in early 2021 because of the pandemic.
Both Macy's and Toys "R" Us have been hurt by shifting consumer habits and competition from big-box retailers such as Target and Walmart. But Macy's had a turn of fortune in recent months, outperforming the competition.
The company said in its first-quarter earnings report that its toy sales were 15 times higher than the comparable period prior to the partnership. | https://www.wlwt.com/article/toys-r-us-is-coming-back-macys-stores/40643260 | 2022-07-18T20:05:44Z | https://www.wlwt.com/article/toys-r-us-is-coming-back-macys-stores/40643260 | false |

CHESAPEAKE, Va. — An alligator is safe after being found swimming in a Chesapeake, Virginia, homeowner's pool.
According to a Facebook post by Chesapeake Animal Services, Animal Control officers were informed three weeks ago that an alligator from Jack's Jungle had gone missing.
The alligator's owner said they didn't know if it escaped, was stolen, or was let out of its enclosure.
On Friday, a Taft Road resident called dispatch to tell them they found the alligator in their backyard pool.
Animal Control and the alligator's owner worked together to remove the reptile, aptly named "Splash," from the pool.
"See you later, alligator!" Chesapeake Animal Services said in its Facebook post.
He was then taken back home — just a few houses down from the one where he was found swimming. | https://www.ksby.com/news/national/alligator-rescued-after-being-spotted-in-virginia-pool | 2022-07-18T20:14:35Z | https://www.ksby.com/news/national/alligator-rescued-after-being-spotted-in-virginia-pool | false |
(The Car Connection) — Honda redesigned its bestseller, the 2023 CR-V compact crossover, and will offer it with a hybrid powertrain, while Toyota bucked the trend of all crossovers, all the time, by bringing over the Crown full-size sedan as a replacement for the Avalon. The 2023 Toyota Crown comes standard with all-wheel drive and as a hybrid, but it lacks the impressive fuel economy of most other new Toyota hybrids.
With the 2022 model year behind us, here’s what moved us this week.
The Crown is a roomy, luxurious full-size sedan that replaces the similar Avalon and adds a high-power Hybrid Max version.
Sold as a hybrid or gas model, the redesigned compact crossover grows in size and power.
With plug-in tech on board, the all-around excellence of the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe scores a TCC Rating of 7.0 out of 10.
2023 Land Rover Range Rover Velar review
A 395-hp HST addition to the lineup vaults the 2023 Velar to a TCC Rating of 7.0 out of 10.
With standard all-wheel drive and assuring safety technology, the 2023 Subaru Outback crossover SUV makes tracks around town and country. It earns a TCC Rating of 6.7 out of 10.
With power that runs the gamut from pedestrian to peppery, the 2023 Kona earns a TCC Rating of 6.2 out of 10.
With the 2023 Venue, the price is right—and so is the wealth of features. Hyundai’s smallest hatchback earns a TCC Rating of 5.8 out of 10.
The Tacoma’s righteously rugged, but that can’t overcome its aged design. It earns a TCC Rating of 4.8 out of 10. | https://wgntv.com/automotive/2023-toyota-crown-2023-honda-cr-v-top-this-weeks-new-car-reviews/ | 2022-07-18T20:14:38Z | https://wgntv.com/automotive/2023-toyota-crown-2023-honda-cr-v-top-this-weeks-new-car-reviews/ | true |
NEW YORK (AP) — Bank of America’s second quarter profits fell 32%, the latest major U.S. bank to report a dip in earnings after a strong 2021.
A better reflection of performance at the country’s second largest bank this quarter was revenue, which increased from $21.5 billion, to $22.7 billion year over year, largely due to higher interest rates and an increased level of lending.
Quarterly profit fell to $6.2 billion, or 73 cents per share, the bank reported Monday, compared with a profit of $9.2 billion, or $1.03 a share, in the same period a year earlier.
Profits last year were boosted after the bank releasing billions of dollars from its loan loss reserves, which is money the bank set aside in the pandemic to cover potentially bad loans.
JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo and Citigroup all reported double-digit profit declines last week, citing similar reasons.
Wall Street is largely focusing on the outlook for the second half of the year because of the potential for a recession that could be triggered by inflation and the Federal Reserve’s aggressive maneuvers to combat rising prices. Last week JPMorgan’s Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon said inflation, interest rate increases as well as the War in Ukraine were all likely “to have negative consequences on the global economy sometime down the road.”
Bank of America’s top official, Brian Moynihan, was a bit more bullish in his comments about the economy in prepared remarks Monday, saying that the U.S. consumer remains “resilient” despite economic uncertainty.
Shares of Bank of America Corp, based in Charlotte, N.C. fell 2% before the opening bell. | https://www.wowktv.com/news/u-s-world/earnings-slide-ongoing-for-banks-bofa-q2-profit-dips-32/ | 2022-07-18T20:15:56Z | https://www.wowktv.com/news/u-s-world/earnings-slide-ongoing-for-banks-bofa-q2-profit-dips-32/ | true |

LA TESTE-DE-BUCH, France (AP) — A heat wave broiling Europe spilled northward Monday to Britain and fueled ferocious wildfires in Spain and France, which evacuated thousands of people and scrambled water-bombing planes and firefighters to battle flames in tinder-dry forests.
Two people were killed in the blazes in Spain that its prime minister linked to global warming, saying, “Climate change kills.”
That toll comes on top of the hundreds of heat-related deaths reported in the Iberian peninsula, as high temperatures have gripped the continent in recent days and triggered wildfires from Portugal to the Balkans. Some areas, including northern Italy, are also experiencing extended droughts. Climate change makes such life-threatening extremes less of a rarity — and heat waves have come even to places like Britain, which braced for possible record-breaking temperatures.
The hot weather in the U.K. was expected to be so severe this week that train operators warned it could warp the rails and some schools set up wading pools to help children cool off.
In France, heat records were broken and swirling hot winds complicated firefighting in the country’s southwest.
“The fire is literally exploding,” said Marc Vermeulen, the regional fire service chief who described tree trunks shattering as flames consumed them, sending burning embers into the air and further spreading the blazes.
“We’re facing extreme and exceptional circumstances,” he said.
Authorities evacuated more towns, moving another 14,900 people from areas that could find themselves in the path of the fires and choking smoke. In all, more than 31,000 people have been forced from their homes and summer vacation spots in the Gironde region since the wildfires began July 12.
Three additional planes were sent to join six others fighting the fires, scooping up seawater 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 firefighters trying to contain the blazes in the Gironde, where flames neared prized vineyards and billowed smoke across the Arcachon maritime basin famed for its oysters and beaches.
Spain, meanwhile, reported a second fatality in two days in 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.
Passengers on a train through Zamora got a frightening, close look at a blaze, when their train halted in the countryside. Video of the unscheduled — and unnerving — stop showed about a dozen passengers in a railcar becoming alarmed as they looked out of the windows at the flames encroaching on both sides of the track.
Climate scientists say heat waves are more intense, more frequent and longer because of climate change — and coupled with droughts have made wildfires harder to fight. They 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, the site of 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 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit), cooling only moderately at night.
At least 748 heat-related deaths have been reported in the heat wave in Spain and neighboring Portugal, where temperatures reached 47 C (117 F) earlier this month.
The heat wave in Spain was 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 Britain, officials have issued the first-ever extreme heat warning, and the weather service forecast that the record high of 38.7 C (101.7 F), 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.”
France’s often-temperate Brittany region sweltered with a record 39.3 C (102.7 F) degrees in the port of Brest, surpassing a high of 35.1 C that had stood since September 2003, French weather service Meteo-France said.
Regional records in France were broken in over a dozen towns, as the weather service said Monday was “the hottest day of this heat wave.”
The Balkans region expected the worst of the heat later this week, but has already seen sporadic wildfires.
Early Monday, authorities in Slovenia said firefighters brought one fire under control. Croatia sent a water-dropping plane there to help after struggling last week with its own wildfires along the Adriatic Sea. A fire in Sibenik forced some people to evacuate their homes but was later extinguished.
In Portugal, much cooler weather Monday helped fire crews make progress. More than 600 firefighters attended four major fires in northern Portugal.

Vicious Cycle Of Police Custody: Supreme Court on Mohammed Zubair Cases
Alt News co-founder Mohammed Zubair is facing six FIRs in UP, of which he has got interim bail till September in one.
The Supreme Court observed that there appeared to be a vicious cycle wherein as soon as Alt News co-founder Mohammed Zubair got bail in one matter, he found himself arrested in a different case. The top court directed Uttar Pradesh police from taking "precipitative action" against Zubair till July 20 when it would hear his plea seeking to quash all the UP FIRs filed against him.
"The contents of all the FIRs seem to be similar. What seems to be happening is, as he gets bail in one case, he is remanded in another. This vicious cycle is continuing," Justice DY Chandrachud observed while granting relief.
The Supreme Court vacation bench on July 8 had granted Zubair bail in an FIR filed in the Sitapur, UP, where he was arrested for calling three Hindu seers 'hatemongers'. A Delhi sessions court on July 15 had granted Zubair bail in the case where he was arrested for tweeting a still from the 1983 Hrishikesh Mukherjee film Kissi Se na Kehna.
Earlier today, senior advocate Vrinda Grover had mentioned the matter before Chief Justice of India NV Ramana seeking an urgent hearing because of the "evergreening" of custody that began since his initial arrest on June 27. Grover, at CJI Ramana's direction, mentioned the matter before Justice Chandrachud again and the plea seeking interim relief was heard on an urgent basis during the post-lunch session.
BOOM recaps the arguments made in court today.

Criminal law machinery being misused against journalist: Zubair to SC
Senior Advocate Vrinda Grover, representing fact checker Mohammed Zubair, listed out the FIRs filed against him in UP to suggest that the "evergreening" of police custody as soon as he gets relief in one matter.
As soon as the Supreme Court granted Zubair protection in the Sitapur matter, a court in Lakhimpur Kheri issued a production warrant. And when a Delhi Court granted bail, a production warrant was issued by a Hathras court, Grover said.
"As we speak right now, he is being produced in Hathras," Grover said seeking interim relief.
"There is a complete abuse of the law. Is this how the criminal law machinery must be used against a journalist? One you do not agree with?" Grover said.
Grover submitted that the case against Zubair is more or less similar. In most FIRs sections 153A (promoting enmity between religions), and 295A (insulting religions) are added. In some (FIRs) section 67 IT Act is added. If convicted, the maximum punishment all the sections carry is not more than three years, Grover said.
"All FIRs are based on tweets," Grover submitted. Referring to the Delhi Police status report, Grover said the Delhi Police now intend to probe a "larger conspiracy".
The senior advocate submitted that there is a threat to Zubair's life. She further submitted that cash rewards were announced—One reward, per state, per Union territory (so 28 rewards in all).
Grover further submitted that UP Police has not taken any action against them even when direct threats to kill Zubair are being made. "Not a single action was taken by the UP Police against those Twitter handles," she added.

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- The Fresno County District Attorney's Office has charged city council president Nelson Esparza with attempted extortion.
Officials say Esparza threatened former Fresno City Attorney Douglas Sloan's job security, saying that Sloan would be fired unless he agreed to work for the council majority.
Sloan left his job as city attorney for the same position with the City of Santa Monica after 16 years working at Fresno City Hall.
If convicted, Esparza could face time in jail or prison.
Earlier this year, councilman Garry Bredefeld accused Esparza of extortion with the same allegations.
Action News has reached out to Councilmember Esparza for comment but we have not yet heard back.

LOS ANGELES – Prosecutors plan to charge a Los Angeles man in connection with three murders across Southern California, calling the suspect a "stone-cold serial killer," as part of a deadly robbery crime spree last week at a half-dozen 7-Elevens and a doughnut shop.
Investigators have linked Malik Patt, 20, to the fatal shooting of a homeless man in Los Angeles on July 9, as well as the July 11 deaths of a 7-Eleven clerk in Brea and a man who intervened in a robbery in a 7-Eleven parking lot in Santa Ana.
Three other peop le were shot and wounded in the July 11 violence, one of whom remained gravely injured Monday, according to Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer.
Patt faces a slew of charges, including murder, attempted murder, robbery and carjacking. If convicted, his case could result in the death penalty or a life sentence without the possibility of parole.
“Malik Patt is a stone-cold serial killer," Spitzer said Monday in a news conference announcing the planned filing of criminal charges. "There’s no other way to describe him. He executed innocent people and shot others.”
The July 11 robberies occurred within five hours in San Bernardino, Orange and Riverside counties, setting off an intensive manhunt that resulted in the arrests of the two men in Los Angeles on Friday. Authorities say Jason Payne, 44, was Patt's neighbor and accomplice but was not involved in the killings.
Both men are being held in jail and are expected to be arraigned Tuesday. It was not immediately clear whether they had attorneys who could speak on their behalf.
Spitzer called the violence among the “cruelest, most inhumane crimes I’ve ever seen” in his time in law enforcement.
Police originally believed the spate of robberies at the convenience stories on July 11, or 7/11, might be linked to the day when the national 7-Eleven brand celebrates its anniversary. It was the chain's 95th year, and stores gave out free Slurpee drinks.
But Spitzer on Monday said that while investigators are still looking into the potential nexus, “it appears it might be random and coincidental.”
Matthew Hirsch, a 40-year-old clerk, was shot and killed at the Brea store, and Matthew Rule, 24, was shot and killed in the parking lot of the Santa Ana store while trying to intervene in the robbery of someone else. The identify of the homeless man who was slain in Los Angeles has not been made public.
Detectives also believe Patt may be connected to other crimes, including robberies in the San Fernando Valley. | https://www.wsls.com/news/national/2022/07/18/stone-cold-serial-killer-to-be-charged-in-la-area-slayings/ | 2022-07-18T20:19:18Z | https://www.wsls.com/news/national/2022/07/18/stone-cold-serial-killer-to-be-charged-in-la-area-slayings/ | true |

A man suspected of fatally stabbing former NASCAR driver Bobby East last week at a Southern California gas station was shot and killed over the weekend as police attempted to arrest him.
The Westminster Police Department said in a press release that on July 13, at around 5:51 p.m., officers responded to the 76 gas station where they found a man with a stab wound to his chest.
East was transported to a local hospital, where he later succumbed to his injury, police said.
According to the Associated Press, the victim was later identified as East.
He was 37.
Police identified Trent William Millsap as the stabbing suspect.

Judge says he’ll make decision on Kentucky’s abortion ban ‘soon’
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WKYT) - The deadline for lawyers to file arguments on Kentucky’s abortion ban has passed.
A judge set the deadline for the ACLU and Attorney General Daniel Cameron’s office for noon Monday.
The ACLU wants the judge to continue blocking Kentucky’s trigger law, which kicked in when the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and ended federal abortion protections.
Cameron’s office says the law should take effect while the lawsuit plays out.
The judge says he’ll make a decision soon.
Last week, a judge allowed parts of another Kentucky abortion law to take effect. The General Assembly passed the bill earlier this year and the ACLU sued. A court initially decided to block it completely.
According to the Courier-Journal, a judge allowed the legislation’s 15-week abortion ban to take effect Friday. Parts of the law that restrict abortion medications and abortions for minors are still blocked.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — A building in Columbus, Ohio, partially collapsed Monday afternoon while a firefighter was inside inspecting it.
No injuries were reported in the collapse, including to the firefighter.
A business that operated on the ground floor, at 1032 E. Long St., was closed Monday. The owner of the business lived in a different part of the building, but was not inside when it happened, fire officials said.
Photos and video showed the collapse started along the back wall before a corner of the structure gave way.
Columbus fire and police had multiple units on the scene during and after the collapse.
Chief Jeffrey Geitter of the Columbus Division of Fire said a building inspector was checking another building nearby when he noticed a section of the back wall had given way and called firefighters.
Geitter said the firefighters were checking the building to make sure no one was inside when the collapse occurred, with a back corner falling in on itself. At least two bystanders were recording as it happened. In one of the videos, a firefighter was seen at a window just moments earlier.
“We were lucky that none of our crews were injured,” Geitter said.
The cause of the collapse has yet to be determined.
A Google Maps photo of the building from 2019 showed all of the windows on the collapsed section were boarded up.
Geitter said an emergency demolition order will be secured to tear down the rest of the structure. | https://www.conchovalleyhomepage.com/news/national-news/video-building-collapses-in-ohio-with-firefighter-inside/ | 2022-07-18T20:33:01Z | https://www.conchovalleyhomepage.com/news/national-news/video-building-collapses-in-ohio-with-firefighter-inside/ | false |

Ukraine round-up: Treason claims and Russians regroup
By Robert Plummer
BBC News
- Published
It was a day of complex political and military manoeuvres as Ukraine sought to defend itself from external and internal enemies alike.
Away from the battlefield, President Volodymyr Zelensky suspended the head of Ukraine's spy agency (SBU) and the prosecutor general, saying there were many cases of treason in the two organisations.
He gave some striking figures: more than 60 former employees were now working against Ukraine in Russian-occupied areas, while 651 collaboration and treason cases had been opened against law enforcement officials.
Six die in shelling as new assault looms
But bloodshed was never far away. As Russian forces geared up for their next major push, six people were killed in shelling in the eastern Ukrainian town of Toretsk.
The Ukrainian military says Russia appears to be regrouping for an offensive in the direction of nearby Sloviansk.
It is all part of Russia's goal of capturing the eastern Donbas region after their efforts in the rest of the country were thwarted.
Months into the war, this map shows how much territory Russia now controls.
Ukrainian troops are fighting back, notably with the aid of US-supplied long-range missile systems.
That's why Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu gave orders on Monday for those missile and artillery weapons to be targeted, before they can do more damage to Russian supply chains.
Google fined and H&M pulls out
As the war drags on, Russia is keen to maintain its control over the flow of information available to its citizens.
On Monday, a Russian court fined Google the equivalent of more than £310m ($370m) after it failed to remove content that Moscow deemed illegal.
The magistrates' court in Moscow imposed a fine of 21.1bn roubles, which is equivalent to 10% of Google's annual revenue in Russia.
It's the second punishment Google has received from Russia after it was fined last year.
Meanwhile, another big global retailer, H&M, has announced it is leaving Russia, but will temporarily reopen its shops there to sell off its remaining stock of clothing.
H&M said it was "impossible" to continue its business in Russia.
The Swedish firm suspended all sales there in March, shortly after Russian troops invaded Ukraine.
'Why I never gave up trying to find my children'
When Russia invaded Ukraine, plenty of people were caught on the hop - including a Ukrainian couple whose foster children found themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time.
As she was alerted to the invasion, Olga Lopatkina's first thoughts were for her six adopted children, who were 100km (62 miles) away.
They were in a municipal holiday home near the sea, where they had been sent for fresh air and general well-being.
It soon became too dangerous to collect them because of heavy shelling along the route to the seaside.
Olga faced an impossible choice. Should she send her husband Denis on a perilous drive to rescue them? Or should they leave the children in Mariupol, where they had gone for their break?
At that time, it still seemed relatively secure.
Ukrainian refugees reconnect with their culture
After fleeing their homeland, Ukrainian refugees have found a space to meet, talk and dance at a social club in Twickenham.
The club offers English classes, yoga sessions, CV and job application workshops and a space for Ukrainian refugees to meet others. | https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-62207928 | 2022-07-18T20:35:50Z | https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-62207928 | true |

— COO Kenneth D. Knight named CEO succeeding Sean George; Dr. George to continue as member of Board of Directors —
— Co-Founder and former CEO Randy Scott returns as chairman —
— Current chairman Eric Aguiar to serve as lead independent director —
SAN FRANCISCO, July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Invitae (NYSE: NVTA), a leading medical genetics company, today announced executive leadership and Board changes to help ensure the company realizes the full potential of its industry-leading genetics testing platform and delivers tangible and sustainable value for stockholders. Specifically, Kenneth D. Knight, who has served as Invitae's chief operating officer since 2020, is succeeding Sean George, Ph.D., as CEO and is joining the Board of Directors. Additionally, Randy Scott, Ph.D., Invitae's co-founder, former CEO from 2012 to 2017, and former executive chairman from 2017 to 2019, is returning to the company as chairman of the Board. Eric Aguiar, who has served as Invitae's independent chairman since 2019 and a member of the Board since 2010, is now serving as lead independent director. The changes are effective immediately.
Dr. George, co-founder and CEO of Invitae since 2017, will serve as a consultant to the company through a transition period and will retain his role as a member of the Invitae Board.
Mr. Knight is a growth-oriented business leader and operations executive with more than three decades of multi-industry experience at Invitae, Amazon, Caterpillar and General Motors. Immediately prior to joining Invitae as COO in June of 2020, he spent four years overseeing Amazon's transportation services, global delivery services and global fulfillment human resources and operations. Since joining Invitae, Mr. Knight has guided the realignment of the company's go-to-market strategy, led efforts to improve revenue quality and driven steady increases in variable cost productivity. His immediate priorities as CEO will include a sharpened focus on Invitae's core, more profitable business lines and accelerated work to right-size the company's cost structure. Success on these fronts will, in turn, lead to sustainably higher margin growth and an extension of Invitae's cash runway ahead of cash flow positivity.
Dr. Aguiar commented, "Invitae's competitive advantages are well-established: an industry-leading genetics testing platform, excellent relationships with patients and providers alike and a relentless focus on lowered costs and accessibility. Ken understands these attributes incredibly well and is the ideal leader to harness them in an accelerated drive towards positive cash flow. We have seen firsthand during Ken's tenure as COO – and in his prior experience at diversified, large-scale enterprises – that he will deliver operational execution and cost discipline while preserving the innovation-first culture that is at the heart of the Invitae model. The company will unquestionably benefit from his leadership as CEO, his deep understanding of Invitae and its growth drivers and his commitment to securing a successful, sustainable operating platform for the long term.
"At the same time, Randy's return as chairman will allow Invitae to continue to benefit from cutting-edge science, deep industry leadership and unparalleled institutional knowledge," Dr. Aguiar continued. "The combination of Ken and Randy brings together two highly complementary leaders committed to capitalizing on Invitae's exceptional opportunities and delivering value to our stakeholders."
Dr. Scott helped lead Invitae through its inception and continued growth both as an executive of the company and member of the Board through 2019. Dr. Scott has a distinguished history as a pioneer in the genomics industry and has played a founding role in a number of successful life sciences companies.
Dr. Aguiar concluded, "On behalf of the Board, we thank Sean for his visionary leadership as Invitae's co-founder and CEO. His commitment to Invitae's mission, and the successful build-out of the company's genetic testing capabilities has established Invitae's place at the forefront of the industry in shaping the future of medicine."
Mr. Knight said, "I am honored to take on the CEO role and lead Invitae forward at this important inflection point, as we expand our critical efforts to focus on our most promising, profitable aspects of our businesses, drive increased operating efficiency and successfully navigate the current macro environment. It has been a privilege to work side by side with Sean, and I look forward to partnering with Randy and our team to build upon our strong foundation and further position Invitae for a bright future – advancing our mission of bringing the power of genetic information to mainstream medicine."
"We are in the early stages of a genomics revolution that will transform medicine," said Dr. Scott. "Invitae is a special organization with talented team members, powerful growth drivers and a visionary path to deliver innovative genomics to the world. I'm excited to work together with the Board and management team to help accelerate Invitae's next phase rooted in disciplined execution, delivering for our shareholders and stakeholders and achieving our promise as a transformational platform for genomic medicine."
"When we recruited Ken to Invitae as our COO, we did so with the expectation that his experience and skill set would be ideal in leading the company through its next phase to execute on our long-term strategy and achieve our distinctive vision," Dr. George added. "With the timing now right for this transition, I am honored to pass the baton to Ken and look forward to continuing to support Invitae at the Board level. It has been tremendously rewarding bringing Invitae to life while achieving so many successful milestones over the years with our amazing team."

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A judge in West Virginia’s capital blocked enforcement of the state’s 150-year-old abortion ban on Monday, opening the door for abortions to resume in the state, at least for now.
Kanawha County Circuit Court Judge Tera L. Salango granted the Women’s Health Center of West Virginia a preliminary injunction against the 1800s-era ban, saying that in the absence of action by the court, the state's sole abortion clinic and its patients, “especially those who are impregnated as a result of a rape or incest, are suffering irreparable harm.”
Attorney General Patrick Morrisey decried the ruling, calling it "a dark day for West Virginia.” He said his office will appeal the decision to the state Supreme Court.
West Virginia has a state law on the books dating back to the 1800s making performing or obtaining an abortion a felony, punishable by up to a decade in prison. It provides an exception for cases in which a pregnant person’s life is at risk.
People are also reading…
Lawyers for the Women's Health Center — the state's only abortion clinic — argued that the old law is void because it has not been enforced in more than 50 years and has been superseded by a slew of modern laws regulating abortion that acknowledge a woman’s right to the procedure. One example is West Virginia’s 2015 law, which allows abortions until 20 weeks.
Judge Salango agreed, saying the recent laws enacted by the state legislature “hopelessly conflict with the criminal abortion ban” and that it would be “inequitable” to allow conflicting laws to remain on the books.
“The code is replete with examples of undeniable conflicts in the law that appear fundamental and irreconcilable, making the law incompatible by any reading,” she said of the criminal abortion ban. “Perhaps when it was drafted, that legislation was sufficient. However, in today’s world, it is simply too vague to be applied.”
The Women’s Health Center of West Virginia had suspended abortion services June 24, the day the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Staffers canceled dozens of abortion appointments, fearing they or their patients could be prosecuted under the old statute.
The clinic’s attorneys said abortion services are essential health care, and the state’s most vulnerable residents are put at risk every day they don’t have access to that care.
West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, however, argued that the law is still enforceable. State attorneys claimed the law has not been active in decades only because prosecuting people for getting or performing abortions would have been illegal under Roe — but that's no longer the case.
The laws passed in years since do not conflict with the old law, the attorney general's office said, but rather were intended to “fill the void regarding unregulated post-Roe abortion," and if lawmakers wanted to repeal the 1800s-era law, they would have done so.
Before Monday's hearing, Morrisey's office wrote in court filings that the Women's Health Center's arguments “are likely to fail and overlook basic history: the West Virginia Legislature’s attempt to protect innocent, unborn life to the greatest extent possible against the backdrop of Roe v. Wade.”
“It is counter-historical to say that the Legislature intended less protection for unborn life if Roe was overruled than if Roe never existed," they said.
Salango said if lawmakers wanted to ensure that abortion would be criminalized in West Virginia if Roe fell, they should have taken more concrete action to do so.
“I will not put words in the legislature’s mouth," she said. "However, if the legislature intended for the criminal statute to be in full force, it was free to pass a trigger law, similar to a number of other states. The legislature chose not to do so.”
In 2021, the Women's Health Center performed 1,304 abortions, according to court documents. The majority of patients — 87% — were from West Virginia, with most others from Ohio and Kentucky.
Attorney Kathleen Hartnett from the Cooley law firm argued for the clinic, along with attorneys from the ACLU of West Virginia, Mountain State Justice and others. | https://wcfcourier.com/news/national/judge-blocks-enforcement-of-west-virginia-abortion-ban/article_95c70f73-9abe-5c67-8ad8-7c47f3721310.html | 2022-07-18T20:41:57Z | https://wcfcourier.com/news/national/judge-blocks-enforcement-of-west-virginia-abortion-ban/article_95c70f73-9abe-5c67-8ad8-7c47f3721310.html | true |
Here's an article from the Associated Press:
By Nicholas Geranios
COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho (AP) — Six of the 31 members of a white supremacist group who were arrested near a northern Idaho pride event last month will be in court on Monday afternoon, facing misdemeanor charges of conspiracy to riot.
The Patriot Front members were arrested June 11 with riot gear after a tipster reported seeing people loading up into a U-Haul at a hotel parking lot in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, police said.
Scheduled to appear in court Monday were Josiah Buster and his brother Mishael Buster and Connor Moran, all of Watauga, Texas; Derek Smith of Sioux Falls, South Dakota; Dakota Tabler of West Valley City, Utah; and Justin O'Leary, of Des Moines, Washington.
Each had posted $300 bail and been released after their arrest.
Among those arrested was Thomas Ryan Rousseau of Grapevine, Texas, who has been identified by the Southern Poverty Law Center as the 23-year-old who founded the group after the deadly “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017.
Also among the arrestees was Mitchell F. Wagner, 24, of Florissant, Missouri, who was previously charged with defacing a mural of famous Black Americans on a college campus in St. Louis last year.
Michael Kielty, Wagner’s attorney, has said Patriot Front did not have a reputation for violence and that the case could be a First Amendment issue.
“Even if you don’t like the speech, they have the right to make it,” Kielty said after the arrests.
Patriot Front is a white supremacist neo-Nazi group whose members perceive Black Americans, Jews and LGBTQ people as enemies, said Jon Lewis, a George Washington University researcher who specializes in homegrown violent extremism.
Their playbook, Lewis said, involves identifying local grievances to exploit, organizing on platforms like the messaging app Telegram and ultimately showing up to events marching in neat columns, in blue- or white-collared-shirt uniforms, in a display of strength.
Though Pride celebrations have long been picketed by counter-protesters citing religious objections, they haven’t historically been a major focus for armed extremist groups. Still, it isn’t surprising, given how anti-LGBTQ rhetoric has increasingly become a potent rallying cry in the far-right online ecosystem, Lewis said.
The arrests come amid a surge of charged rhetoric around LGBTQ issues and a wave of state legislation aimed at transgender youth, said John McCrostie, the first openly gay man elected to the Idaho Legislature.
In Coeur d’Alene, police found riot gear, one smoke grenade, shin guards and shields inside the van after pulling it over near a park where the North Idaho Pride Alliance was holding a Pride in the Park event, Coeur d’Alene Police Chief Lee White said.
The group arrived at the scenic lakeside resort city wearing Patriot Front patches and logos on their hats and some T-shirts reading “Reclaim America” according to police and videos of the arrests posted on social media.
Those arrested came from at least 11 states, including Washington, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Colorado, South Dakota, Illinois, Wyoming, Virginia, and Arkansas.
Though there is a history of far-right extremism dating back decades in northern Idaho, once home to the Aryan Nations group, White said only one of those arrested was from the state.
The six-hour Pride event generally went on as scheduled. | https://www.idahopress.com/eyeonboise/6-members-of-white-supremacist-group-expected-in-idaho-court/article_a2cf3552-cc22-5fda-ac68-71a1f164c319.html | 2022-07-18T20:42:28Z | https://www.idahopress.com/eyeonboise/6-members-of-white-supremacist-group-expected-in-idaho-court/article_a2cf3552-cc22-5fda-ac68-71a1f164c319.html | false |

NEW YORK, July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, continues to investigate potential securities claims on behalf of shareholders of Hannon Armstrong Sustainable Infrastructure Capital, Inc. (NYSE: HASI) resulting from allegations that Hannon Armstrong may have issued materially misleading business information to the investing public.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Hannon Armstrong securities you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. The Rosen Law Firm is preparing a class action seeking recovery of investor losses.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the prospective class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=7529 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
WHAT IS THIS ABOUT: On July 12, 2022, market analyst Muddy Waters Research published a report entitled "HASI: 'ESG' is for Exaggerating, Scamming, and Grifting" which stated several issues with Hannon Armstrong's financial statements, summarizing the issues as "HASI misleadingly inflates GAAP earnings three ways: 1) Through a loophole in the arcana of accounting for renewables subsidies, HASI books non-cash unrealizable income relating to third parties' tax credits that will be reversed; 2) HASI produces non-cash income by manipulating the discount rate it applies to residual assets to implausibly low levels, thereby inflating its gains on securitizations; and, 3) HASI books interest income from non-cash 'Paid in Kind' ('PIK') interest payments, which are essentially IOUs from stressed borrowers."
On this news, Hannon Armstrong's stock price fell $6.92 per share, or 19%, to close at $29.41 per share on July 12, 2022, on unusually heavy trading volume, damaging investors.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors.

US developing satellite system to track hypersonic weapons
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. will spend $1.3 billion to develop advanced satellites that will be able to better track hypersonic missile threats, the Pentagon said Monday, announcing two new contracts that will put the detection and tracking systems in orbit by 2025.
Derek Tournear, director of the Space Development Agency, said the contracts will provide 28 satellites, as the U.S. moves to greatly expand and enhance its ability to counter increasing threats from Russia and China.
Both countries have been making strides in their development of hypersonic missiles, which are more difficult to track and shoot down because they maneuver more in flight than conventional weapons that travel in predictable paths. Last year China tested what U.S. officials said was a hypersonic missile, and Russia has used the weapons in strikes during the war in Ukraine.
“Russia and China have been developing and testing hypersonic glide vehicles — these advanced missiles that are extremely maneuverable,” Tournear told Pentagon reporters Monday. “These satellites are specifically designed to go after that next generation version of threats out there so that we can detect and track these hypersonic maneuvering vehicles and predict their impact point.”
Additional funding for the program was provided by Congress specifically in response to concerns in the Indo-Pacific region, in response to China’s rapidly progressing military development.
Hypersonic weapons are defined as anything traveling beyond Mach 5, or five times faster than the speed of sound. That’s about 3,800 mph (6,100 kph). Intercontinental ballistic missiles far exceed that threshold but travel in a predictable path, making it possible to intercept them.
Historically, Tournear said, the U.S. has not flown satellites that were designed to detect and go after such maneuverable hypersonic weapons. Currently, he said, “we have limited capability to do that tracking aspect.” He added, however, that “clearly we don’t have zero capability to do tracking.”
The new satellites, he said, will enable the U.S. to detect the launch, follow the hypersonic missile as it changes course, calculate where it is heading and provide that data to forces who can launch interceptors.
The contracts were awarded to teams led by L3Harris Technologies, Inc. of Melbourne, Fla., and Northrop Grumman Strategic Space Systems of Redondo Beach, Calif. L3Harris will produce 14 satellites at a cost of about $700 million, and Northrop will produce 14 at a cost of about $617 million. The total cost of the program, including the launches and ground control and support, will be about $2.5 billion.
Tournear said the program represents a shift for the U.S. toward a larger, overlapping system of satellites. Rather than relying on larger, more expensive satellites that stay in orbit for 15 or more years, the U.S. will have a greater number of cheaper satellites that would be replaced about every five years.
One set, he said, would be at a lower orbit of about 1,000 kilometers, and a second set would be at a medium orbit of about 10,000-20,000 kilometers, providing a more resilient presence. He said the first 28 satellites would likely be followed by a second group of about 54.
Earlier this year, the United States, United Kingdom and Australia announced that they will work together to develop hypersonic missiles. The April announcement came amid growing concerns about China’s escalating military assertiveness in the Pacific. Last October, U.S. Army Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, confirmed that China had conducted a test of a hypersonic weapon, calling it a “very significant event” that was “very concerning.”

U.S. says no indication American's detention in UAE linked to Khashoggi
Adds detail, comment by UAE
WASHINGTON, July 18 (Reuters) - The U.S. State Department on Monday said it has seen "no indication at this point" that the detention of an American in the United Arab Emirates is linked to his ties to slain journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
"But we are still gathering information," State Department spokesman Ned Price said.
UAE authorities last week detained Asim Ghafoor, a U.S. citizen and civil rights attorney who previously served as a lawyer for Khashoggi, a Saudi journalist killed by Saudi agents in 2018 at the kingdom's Istanbul consulate.
U.S. intelligence says Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman approved the operation targeting Khashoggi. The prince denies involvement. Ghafoor's detention coincided with a visit by U.S. President Joe Biden to Saudi Arabia.
Price said that U.S. embassy officials had observed Ghafoor's virtual court hearing on Monday.
"We have conveyed our expectations to our Emirati partners that Mr. Ghafoor receive continued consular access, that he be afforded a fair and transparent legal process and that he be treated humanely," Price said.
A UAE government official said on Monday that the United States had been investigating Ghafoor for money laundering and tax evasion and had asked the UAE in 2020 for assistance and information.
The UAE then initiated its own investigation, the UAE official said, which "established sufficient evidence of criminal violations of UAE anti-money laundering and tax laws."
A U.S. Department of Justice spokesperson declined to comment on "communications with foreign governments on investigative matters, including confirming or denying the very existence of such communications."
Ghafoor was then convicted of tax evasion and money laundering in the Abu Dhabi Criminal Court and sentenced on May 25, 2022 to three years in prison, a fine of AED 3 million ($816,000), and deportation, the UAE official said.
"Mr. Ghafoor has the right appeal his conviction and sentence," the official said.

Alamos Gold Inc. reported in its most recent annual information form a resource estimate of a measured and indicated resource of 34,352,000 tonnes at 0.98 g/t gold and 8.09 g/t silver for 1,083,366 ounces of gold and 8,936,201 ounces of silver and inferred resource of 718,000 tonnes at 0.80 g/t gold and 15.04 g/t silver for 18,375 ounces of gold and 347,192 ounces of silver. The Company considers this to be an historical resource for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101. Resource blocks were defined using with dimensions of 10 metres (m) by 10 m by five m. The estimation of grades was performed with the ordinary kriging method on capped composites. An added step in the estimation strategy was the utilization of the dynamic anisotropy technique in Vulcan's unfolding options. This added capability allows for a more realistic outcome of the estimated grade's spatial distribution as it follows the folded shape of the deposit. Assumptions used in the resource include the following metal prices: gold price of $1,400 (U.S.) per ounce (oz) and silver price of $22 (U.S.) per oz. The resource assumed the following economic assumptions: recovery of 60.4 per cent at 0.2 g/t to 71.9 per cent at 1.6 g/t for gold, 25 per cent for silver, $2.60-per-tonne mining costs, 64-cents-per-tonne general and administrative costs, $4.20-per-tonne milling costs and a pit slope of 45 degrees. The Company considers the resource relevant due to its identification and modelling of the Esperanza deposit.
The Company has not done sufficient work to classify the resource as a current mineral resource or mineral reserves and the Company is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. Although the resource estimate is considered reliable, the Company will resample a portion of the drill core for the purpose of carrying out a new resource estimate. Furthermore, additional data verification, including resurveying of select diamond drill holes collars; review of graphic drill core logs, comparison of these logs with remaining half-cut core and a cross check of select geological logs agonist database entries; and a check of original assay certificates against the assays and drill hole database.

A four-month undercover investigation in St. Landry Parish has resulted in 50 arrests and the seizure of guns, drugs and cash.
The St. Landry Parish Sheriff's Office focused the efforts of the operation, which began in April, on the smaller towns and communities, said Sheriff Bobby Guidroz.
"The operation’s main goal was to stop violent drug and weapon offenders from ‘terrorizing’ our small municipalities and communities of drive by shootings, vehicle burglaries, gun thefts, and distribution of illegal drugs," the sheriff said. “Many chiefs of police, citizens, and mayors have contacted me asking for enforcement help in late 2021. It was noted that the communities didn’t have the man-power and resources to conduct such operations."
Guidroz said it was clear that drug dealers saw these smaller communities as an opportunity.
“It appears the criminal element sees the smaller municipalities and communities as easy targets for their illicit trade, and have shifted their illegal activity to those areas of the parish”, stated Sheriff Guidroz. ‘I commit our resources in partnership with St. Landry Parish unincorporated communities, and municipalities to promote safe and secure neighborhoods.”
Here's a list of some of the things seized:
Pistols – 28
Rifles – 2
Drug money seized – $21,139
Vehicles seized – 2
Arrests- 50
Marijuana - 3095.6208g;
Fentanyl - 138.6g;

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — An Oakland man was arrested for allegedly reporting a false bomb threat over the weekend, prompting the evacuation of hundreds of people from the San Francisco International Airport’s international terminal, police said Monday.
Terry Addison, 53, was charged with reporting a false bomb threat and malicious report of a false bomb threat, the San Francisco Police Department said in a statement.
Addison was booked into jail in San Mateo County, where the airport is located. It was not immediately known if Addison has an attorney who can speak on his behalf. San Mateo County prosecutors did not immediately return an email seeking comment.
The bomb threat was reported Friday night, and authorities discovered a suspicious package, San Francisco police said. Investigators at the airport “deemed the item possibly incendiary.”
Police said Friday that a man had been taken into custody,. but released no other information.
The airport’s AirTrain and the Bay Area Rapid Transit trains were also suspended. Passenger drop-offs and pick-ups were limited to the airport’s domestic terminals.
Police said they removed “several suspicious packages” from the international terminal and that it was safe and clear to enter just after midnight Saturday. | https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/Man-arrested-in-bomb-threat-that-led-to-airport-17312684.php | 2022-07-18T20:53:05Z | https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/Man-arrested-in-bomb-threat-that-led-to-airport-17312684.php | false |
BOSTON (AP) — The monkeypox vaccine is now available at 11 sites around Massachusetts, state public health officials said Monday.
There had been more than 1,800 cases of monkeypox reported in the U.S. as of Friday, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 51 of which were in Massachusetts. New York, California and Illinois had the most cases.
Nearly all are in men and the vast majority had same-sex encounters, according to the CDC.
The vaccine, when properly administered before or soon after exposure, can help protect against illness, the state Department of Public Health said. The Jynneos vaccine available in Massachusetts, requires two shots, 28 days apart for maximum effectiveness. People are considered fully vaccinated about two weeks after their second shot.
The virus mainly spreads through skin-on-skin contact, but it can also transmit through touching linens used by someone with monkeypox.
People with monkeypox may experience fever, body aches, chills and fatigue. Many in the outbreak have developed bumps on their body.
The vaccine, available to people who live or work in Massachusetts who also meet the CDC’s eligibility criteria, is being administered at three sites in Boston, two in Springfield, as well as in Provincetown, Randolph, Lawrence, Framingham, Worcester and New Bedford. | https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/Massachusetts-makes-monkeypox-vax-available-at-17312806.php | 2022-07-18T20:53:17Z | https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/Massachusetts-makes-monkeypox-vax-available-at-17312806.php | false |

Free yourself from chronic pain and painkiller side effects.
Nowadays, people prefer to take natural herbal supplements, like CBD gummies, because they believe an all-natural diet will be a better option in the long term. This may be true. CBD gummies are just one of the many by-products of the widely known Cannabis sativa plant that presents great potential for pain management. It’s been a favorite by those who want the CBD magic because of its ease of application—just pop in one gummy, and you’re all good.
However, there is a lot that you will find in the market right now. So, the question arises: What are the best CBD gummies for pain 2022 offer?
Best CBD Gummies: For your Consideration
- Best Delta 8 THC Gummies – VIIA Hemp Delta 8 Gummies
- Best Delta 9 THC Gummies – Mary Jane Delta-9 Gummies
- Best THC – Free Gummies – Seabedee CBD Gummies
- Best Full Spectrum Gummies – Cornbread Hemp CBD Gummies
- Most Potent and Innovative Gummies – Neurogan CBD Gummies
CBD Gummies Over Painkillers
According to the 2019 National Health Interview Survey edition, around 50.2 million adults reported prevalent pain that occurs every day, if not most, days of the week. And because of these pains, careers and even mundane activities have been badly affected. One may easily get over-the-counter (OTC) or prescription pain medications.
However, if you’re dealing with chronic pain, relying on these painkillers might not be good for you. Taking a lot of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can be detrimental to your health. CBD, or cannabidiol, in hemp oil gummies is not harmful and not prone to substance abuse, as backed by the World Health Organization (WHO).
CBD Gummies Benefits
CBD gummies and cannabidiol gummy bears are substantially valuable for those who want to improve their health and wellness, not just to relieve pain. However, they will only produce such benefits if you’re purchasing the perfect one for you. Whenever you want to find the best CBD gummies for pain with premium ingredients and made by customer-first hemp brands.
Aside from using CBD gummy bears for back pain, muscle pains, and whatnot, they may also help with other health issues. CBD has the following properties:
- Anti-inflammation–There are many preliminary studies covering the anti-inflammatory effects of CBD. However, one that’s very notable is its effect on intracellular calcium levels increase and cell viability reduction of rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts (RASF). For those who are planning to take CBD gummy bears for arthritis symptoms management, then you’re on the right track.
- Anxiolytic–CBD gummies may be useful in decreasing social anxiety according to a study. CBD significantly helped the respondents with social anxiety disorders (SAD) and avoidant personality disorders. In a separate study, CBD proved to be a promising aid to PTSD-related symptoms.
Other Cannabinoids and Their Benefits
- Delta-9 THC–According to a study, pain intensity significantly decreased during the THC treatment of most respondents who suffer from central neuropathic pain and fibromyalgia.
- Delta-8 THC–In a scientific survey published in 2021, some delta-8 THC consumers have reported that they use it for chronic pain among other health conditions. They prefer it as a substitute for delta-9, as it has fewer undesirable effects.
- CBG–CBG, or cannabigerol, may have pain-relieving properties more effective than THC as it interacts with CB1 and CB2 receptors of the endocannabinoid system.
How We Chose the Best CBD Gummies for Pain
It’s difficult to decide what’s the ultimate best out of the thousands of CBD gummies for pain for sale now. Each of the hemp extract gummies has an appealing quality that may be perfect for anyone.
The best approach is to judge everything objectively and present the best alternatives for you to arrive at a well-informed decision. Narrowing them down to five wasn’t easy. As much as possible, we wanted to consider every kind of pain symptom, the consumer preferences, and the prominence of the CBD manufacturer in the industry, above everything else.
These are the criteria used when selecting the top 5 CBD gummies:
Trial and Error
Nothing beats the trial-and-error method. Giving them a try ourselves and observing how each brand fares for customers with out any bias. This process helps rule out subpar hemp products with out being persuaded by what is popular. We just want to know what’s the best.
Brand Reputation
Brand reputation differs from brand popularity. Some CBD brands are all the rage because of aggressive marketing tactics. Good CBD brand reputation is characterized by organic hemp gummy bears review or feedback, long-time & returning customers, and outstanding achievements.
Product Quality
The product quality can easily be determined by the hemp source, manufacturing, and the detailed laboratory report. Be wary of the health claims of CBD products—especially those which claim they’re ‘medical gummies’ that ‘treat’ various ailments. The Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has issued several warning letters for CBD brands that have made dubious claims.
Hemp Source
High quality CBD gummies for pain alleviation may have the following hemp extract: full-spectrum, broad-spectrum, and isolate. These have different cannabinoid ratios, but one thing’s for certain, THC can’t ever exceed the 0.3% THC limit of quantification (LOQ). Full spectrum gummies are the most preferred, as one may take advantage of the entourage effect to the fullest.
Another defining quality of an exceptional hemp source is how organic hemp was cultivated. Note that ‘organically grown’ differs from ‘certified organic’. Hemp brands may only market organic CBD edibles as ‘certified organic’ if they’re approved by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA).
CBD Extraction Method
There are many methods of how to extract CBD and other cannabinoids and terpenes present in hemp. Each will yield different concentrations. The most used are supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2), steam distillation, and ethanol extraction. CO2 extraction is the most popular and efficient method of CBD extraction, while ethanol extraction is considered the safest.
Independent Laboratory Reports
Trustworthy CBD manufacturers publicize detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) of every batch of CBD gummies they manufacture. It should be easily viewable on their website. Labels of reputable CBD gummies for pain have QR codes that give you a direct link to the batch’s COA.
Other Certifications
Some CBD gummy brands go the extra mile to meet dietary restrictions. You may find not just USDA-certified organic gummies or cruelty-free gummies, but also those with religious food certification approvals like Kosher, Halal, etc. There are also industry-wide awards that honor the most innovative and consistent CBD products.
In terms of your preferences:
CBD brands should also consider consumer demands. Not only can they keep customers returning, but it also ensures continuous innovation in the CBD industry.
Flavor
Since natural fresh hemp extract tastes earthy and grassy, which most won’t like, many hemp companies add flavoring to CBD gummies. Most gummies you’d find in the stores have sweet and fruity flavors since these are the most popular gummy bear flavors.
Dietary Restrictions
A variety of CBD gummies not only cater to different consumer preferences but also to every single one’s diet. Many hemp brands accommodate religious dietary restrictions, specialized diets (e.g., vegan diet), and even personal advocacies (i.e., the use of non-GMO ingredients).
Budget
The average price range of CBD gummies depends on the CBD content. Typically, it’s $0.03-$0.08 per milligram of CBD. This will also depend on other factors, like the CBD gummy ingredients added, how it was processed, and whatnot. As much as possible, if you want to use CBD gummies for a long period, you must choose a quality product that fits your budget.

His immediate priorities as CEO will include a sharpened focus on Invitae's core, more profitable business lines and accelerated work to right-size the company's cost structure. Success on these fronts will, in turn, lead to sustainably higher margin growth and an extension of Invitae's cash runway ahead of cash flow positivity.
Dr. Aguiar commented, "Invitae's competitive advantages are well-established: an industry-leading genetics testing platform, excellent relationships with patients and providers alike and a relentless focus on lowered costs and accessibility. Ken understands these attributes incredibly well and is the ideal leader to harness them in an accelerated drive towards positive cash flow. We have seen firsthand during Ken's tenure as COO – and in his prior experience at diversified, large-scale enterprises – that he will deliver operational execution and cost discipline while preserving the innovation-first culture that is at the heart of the Invitae model. The company will unquestionably benefit from his leadership as CEO, his deep understanding of Invitae and its growth drivers and his commitment to securing a successful, sustainable operating platform for the long term.
"At the same time, Randy's return as chairman will allow Invitae to continue to benefit from cutting-edge science, deep industry leadership and unparalleled institutional knowledge," Dr. Aguiar continued. "The combination of Ken and Randy brings together two highly complementary leaders committed to capitalizing on Invitae's exceptional opportunities and delivering value to our stakeholders."
Dr. Scott helped lead Invitae through its inception and continued growth both as an executive of the company and member of the Board through 2019. Dr. Scott has a distinguished history as a pioneer in the genomics industry and has played a founding role in a number of successful life sciences companies.
Dr. Aguiar concluded, "On behalf of the Board, we thank Sean for his visionary leadership as Invitae's co-founder and CEO. His commitment to Invitae's mission, and the successful build-out of the company's genetic testing capabilities has established Invitae's place at the forefront of the industry in shaping the future of medicine."
Mr. Knight said, "I am honored to take on the CEO role and lead Invitae forward at this important inflection point, as we expand our critical efforts to focus on our most promising, profitable aspects of our businesses, drive increased operating efficiency and successfully navigate the current macro environment. It has been a privilege to work side by side with Sean, and I look forward to partnering with Randy and our team to build upon our strong foundation and further position Invitae for a bright future – advancing our mission of bringing the power of genetic information to mainstream medicine."
"We are in the early stages of a genomics revolution that will transform medicine," said Dr. Scott. "Invitae is a special organization with talented team members, powerful growth drivers and a visionary path to deliver innovative genomics to the world. I'm excited to work together with the Board and management team to help accelerate Invitae's next phase rooted in disciplined execution, delivering for our shareholders and stakeholders and achieving our promise as a transformational platform for genomic medicine."
"When we recruited Ken to Invitae as our COO, we did so with the expectation that his experience and skill set would be ideal in leading the company through its next phase to execute on our long-term strategy and achieve our distinctive vision," Dr. George added. "With the timing now right for this transition, I am honored to pass the baton to Ken and look forward to continuing to support Invitae at the Board level. It has been tremendously rewarding bringing Invitae to life while achieving so many successful milestones over the years with our amazing team."

Max the dog proved his mettle in a big way this weekend after he was credited with helping track down Mexican drug lord Rafael Caro Quintero.
According to CNN, the 6-year-old hound discovered the fugitive hiding in the bushes near Los Mochis, Sinaloa state, Mexico on Friday.
Caro Quintero was wanted for the kidnapping, torture and murder of DEA agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena in 1985. He was on the run for nearly a decade after being released in 2013.
According to the Associated Press, the drug lord was serving time for the 1985 kidnapping and murder of Camarena but only spent 28 years in prison when a court unexpectedly overturned his 40-year sentence and released him in 2013.
An appeals court overturned Caro Quintero's verdict, but the Supreme Court upheld the sentence, the Associated Press reports.
Caro Quintero was added to the FBI's Most Wanted list and had a $20 million bounty on his head, according to CNN. In 2018, he was added to the FBI's 10 Most Wanted list.
Mexico says he will be extradited to the United States, CNN reports.

About Zacatecas Silver Corp.
Zacatecas is a mineral resource company with the gold focused advanced stage Esperanza Gold Project and the silver focused advanced stage Zacatecas Property. The Zacatecas Property is located in Zacatecas State, Mexico, within the highly prospective Fresnillo Silver Belt, which has produced over 6.2 billion ounces of silver. The Company holds 7,826 ha (19,338 acres) of ground that is highly prospective for low and intermediate sulphidation silver-base metal mineralization and potentially low sulphidation gold-dominant mineralization. On December 14, 2021, Zacatecas Silver announced a mineral resource estimate at the Panuco Deposit consisting of 2.7 million tonnes at 187 g/t AgEq (171 g/t Ag and 0.17 g/t Au) for 16.4 million ounces AgEq (15 million ounces silver and 15 thousand ounces gold) (see Company's news release dated December 14, 2021).
The Zacatecas Property is 25 km south-east of MAG Silver Corp.'s Juanicipio Mine and Fresnillo PLC's Fresnillo Mine. The Zacatecas Property shares common boundaries with Pan American Silver Corp. claims and El Orito which is owned by Endeavour Silver Corp. There are four main high-grade silver target areas within the Zacatecas Property concessions: the Panuco Deposit, Muleros, El Cristo and San Manuel-San Gill. The Zacatecas Property also includes El Oro, El Orito, La Cantera, Monserrat, El Peñón, San Judas and San Juan silver-base metal vein targets, and such targets are relatively unexplored and will be the focus of rapid reconnaissance.
The advanced stage Esperanza Gold Project, comprising 14,337.83 hectares), is located in Morelos State, Mexico. To date, significant core and reverse circulation drilling has occurred at the Esperanza Gold Project resulting in a total of 389 drill holes for 69,716 metres.
Alamos Gold Inc. reported in its most recent annual information form a resource estimate of a measured and indicated resource of 34,352,000 tonnes at 0.98 g/t gold and 8.09 g/t silver for 1,083,366 ounces of gold and 8,936,201 ounces of silver and inferred resource of 718,000 tonnes at 0.80 g/t gold and 15.04 g/t silver for 18,375 ounces of gold and 347,192 ounces of silver. The Company considers this to be an historical resource for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101. Resource blocks were defined using with dimensions of 10 metres (m) by 10 m by five m. The estimation of grades was performed with the ordinary kriging method on capped composites. An added step in the estimation strategy was the utilization of the dynamic anisotropy technique in Vulcan's unfolding options. This added capability allows for a more realistic outcome of the estimated grade's spatial distribution as it follows the folded shape of the deposit. Assumptions used in the resource include the following metal prices: gold price of $1,400 (U.S.) per ounce (oz) and silver price of $22 (U.S.) per oz. The resource assumed the following economic assumptions: recovery of 60.4 per cent at 0.2 g/t to 71.9 per cent at 1.6 g/t for gold, 25 per cent for silver, $2.60-per-tonne mining costs, 64-cents-per-tonne general and administrative costs, $4.20-per-tonne milling costs and a pit slope of 45 degrees. The Company considers the resource relevant due to its identification and modelling of the Esperanza deposit.
The Company has not done sufficient work to classify the resource as a current mineral resource or mineral reserves and the Company is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. Although the resource estimate is considered reliable, the Company will resample a portion of the drill core for the purpose of carrying out a new resource estimate. Furthermore, additional data verification, including resurveying of select diamond drill holes collars; review of graphic drill core logs, comparison of these logs with remaining half-cut core and a cross check of select geological logs agonist database entries; and a check of original assay certificates against the assays and drill hole database.
On behalf of the Company
Bryan Slusarchuk
Chief Executive Officer and Director

NEW YORK, July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, continues to investigate potential securities claims on behalf of shareholders of Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: UBER) resulting from allegations that Uber may have issued materially misleading business information to the investing public.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Uber securities you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. The Rosen Law Firm is preparing a class action seeking recovery of investor losses.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the prospective class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=7523 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
WHAT IS THIS ABOUT: On July 10, 2022, The Guardian published an article titled, "Uber broke laws, duped police and secretly lobbied governments, leak reveals." The article, based on 124,000 documents leaked by a whistleblower, alleged, among other things, that Uber broke local laws when entering new markets, lobbied politicians to intervene in investigations against Uber, and utilized "kill switches" to cut off access to company documents to thwart law enforcement raids. The article further states that Uber executives knew about the Company's illegal status in new markets, and even seemed delighted to send Uber drivers into violent areas to garner public support for the Company.

Boy, 14, missing and feared dead in Thames – as four other people drown during heatwave
Five people are believed to have died while swimming in open water during the current heatwave as Britain swelters, with temperatures reaching 38.1C (100.58F) today, the third hottest day on record, and they may hit 41C (105.8F) tomorrow.
Monday 18 July 2022 21:27, UK
A 14-year-old boy is missing and believed to have drowned after getting into difficulty in the River Thames in Richmond, southwest London, on the UK's hottest day of the year.
It comes as four other people have died while swimming in open water during the current heatwave as Britain swelters, with temperatures reaching 38.1C (100.58F) today, the third hottest day on record, and they may hit 41C (105.8F) tomorrow.
The UK Health Security Agency has issued a level 4 heat-health alert - described as a "national emergency" - and the UK is under its first red extreme heat warning for a large part of England, issued by the Met Office.
The Metropolitan Police said officers were alerted just before 5pm by the London Ambulance Service to reports a child was seen entering the water at Tagg's Island in Hampton.
A widespread search was carried out involving police, paramedics and fire crews, as well as members of the public, but their efforts were unsuccessful, and at 6.40pm the rescue operation was brought to an end.
"Efforts to recover his body will continue into this evening," said the Met.
UK records one of its hottest days ever - weather latest
Superintendent Richard Smith, from the South West Command Unit, said: "Despite the very best efforts of all involved, we must now sadly conclude that this young boy has died.
"I know that on days like today when temperatures are at a record high, it might look appealing to jump in and cool off in rivers, reservoirs, lakes or other open water.
"Please don't. The dangers are real and this evening in Richmond we have seen the terrible consequences of what happens when it goes wrong."
Meanwhile, the family of a "kind and loving" 13-year-old boy who died after getting into trouble while swimming in a Northumberland river say they are "absolutely devastated".
Robert Hattersley, from Crawcrook, lost his life following an incident in the River Tyne near Ovingham on Sunday.
His family said in a statement: "It is impossible to put into words the heartbreak we are feeling - Robert was so kind and loving. We are absolutely devastated by what has happened.
"He brought a smile to so many people's faces and he will be missed by absolutely everyone who knew and loved him."
Detective Inspector Phil Hughes, of Leeds CID, said: "This incident serves as a timely reminder about the dangers of swimming in open water."
Also, a 16-year-old boy died after getting into difficulty earlier today in Bray Lake, near Maidenhead, in Berkshire.
Superintendent Michael Greenwood, the local policing area commander for Windsor and Maidenhead, said it was an "absolute tragedy".
Emergency services have issued urgent appeals for people to stay out of dangerous waterways and reservoirs.
A 50-year-old man lost his life after getting into difficulty at Ardsley Reservoir, between Leeds and Wakefield. A body, thought to be his, was found on Sunday.
A 16-year-old boy died after he was seen struggling in the water at Salford Quays, Greater Manchester, on Saturday.
Temperatures rose to 38.1C in Santon Downham, Suffolk, today, and the mercury topped 37C in a number of other places.
Rail services were reduced and trains were forced to travel more slowly amid the risk of buckling rails, and people appeared to heed warnings to work from home as traffic, train and Tube passengers were down on the previous Monday.
There are also warnings of pressures on hospitals from the extreme temperatures, and concerns that ambulance services would face rising numbers of calls as the heat peaks on Tuesday afternoon.
The existing UK temperature record of 38.7C (101.66F), which was registered in Cambridge in 2019, looks almost certain to fall on Tuesday.

Wales has provisionally recorded its hottest day on record, with the temperature reaching 37.1C in Hawarden, Flintshire, beating the previous record for the nation - 35.2C - which was also set in Hawarden, in 1990.
Tuesday is predicted to be even hotter in the UK, with temperatures possibly reaching a "crazy" 41C in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. | https://news.sky.com/story/boy-14-missing-and-feared-dead-in-thames-8211-as-four-other-people-drown-during-heatwave-12654457 | 2022-07-18T21:09:15Z | https://news.sky.com/story/boy-14-missing-and-feared-dead-in-thames-8211-as-four-other-people-drown-during-heatwave-12654457 | true |
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.

CHICAGO, July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research (FSR) hosted a virtual Patient Listening Session on Pulmonary Sarcoidosis with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
FDA Patient Listening Sessions are small, informal, non-regulatory, non-public discussions from the patient perspective that seek to deepen the FDA's understanding of a disease or health condition, the burden of the disease on those it impacts, and the challenges and barriers to effective diagnosis, treatment, and medical product development.
Prior to this listening session, FSR surveyed its stakeholders, patient community, clinicians, researchers, and pharmaceutical companies and biotech to identify topics and challenges of pulmonary sarcoidosis with the highest priority. Building on this feedback, FSR's CEO, Mary McGowan, and Dr. Lisa Maier from National Jewish Health and an active member on FSR's esteemed Scientific Advisory Board provided background on the greatest barriers to diagnosis, treatment, and the advancement of clinical trials.
Six patients and one caregiver impacted by sarcoidosis shared their stories to highlight the challenges of misdiagnosis and of long diagnosis journeys. They recounted their daily struggles associated with living with sarcoidosis. They strongly urged the FDA to consider the critical need for drug development, and the necessity for more flexible clinical trials and approval pathways.
"We are so thankful to our incredible patient speakers who provided the FDA with intimate and raw accounts of the difficulties associated with living with sarcoidosis," said Mary McGowan. "Through this listening session and our continued engagement with the FDA, we hope to be able to carve the path to increased clinical trials, the approval of more therapies, and improved patient outcomes."
The FDA attended with 50 representatives from 16 offices and 5 divisions. Participants in the listening session included: The Office of the Commissioner (OC), Office of Regulatory Affairs (ORA), Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER), Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH), and Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER).

FSR will host a webinar on August 3 at 5pm ET where you can learn more about this event and next steps. To register, visit https://bit.ly/3RKG03k. This session was made possible through the generous support of The Gies Foundation.
Sarcoidosis is a rare inflammatory disease characterized by the formation of granulomas—tiny clumps of inflammatory cells—in one or more organs of the body. Despite increasing advances in research, sarcoidosis remains difficult to diagnose with limited treatment options and no known cure. Approximately 175,000 people live with sarcoidosis in the United States.
The Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research (FSR) is the leading international organization dedicated to finding a cure for sarcoidosis and improving care for sarcoidosis patients through research, education, and support. Since its establishment in 2000, FSR has fostered over $6 million in sarcoidosis-specific research efforts. For more information and to join our community, visit www.stopsarcoidosis.org.

TRUCKEE, Calif. (AP) — Chez Reavie won the Barracuda Championship on Sunday, holding on in the breezy final round of the PGA Tour’s lone modified Stableford scoring event for his third tour title.
Six points ahead entering the day, Reavie had a six-point round for a one-point victory over Alex Noren on Tahoe Mountain Club’s Old Greenwood layout.
The 40-year-old Reavie became the first PGA Tour winner 40 or over since Lucas Glover a year ago in the 2021 John Deere Classic. The Arizona player finished with 43 points.
“I’ve been working hard,” Reavie said. “I’ve been hitting the ball and I knew I could do it. I just kept grinding, and here we are.”
With the event also sanctioned by the European tour, Reavie earned spots on both tours through the 2024 seasons.
“I’ll get over there,” Reavie said. “I had no idea that that was on the table until I finished. I’m excited. I would love to go to Europe and play and maybe go play in the BMW or something. I’d enjoy that a lot.
He also won the 2008 Canadian Open and 2019 Travelers Championship.
Reavie had four birdies and two bogeys Sunday. Players get five points for eagle and two for birdie, while a point is deducted for bogey and three taken away for double bogey or worse.
“It was stressful out there today with the wind and missing some putts early,” Reavie said. “Was fortunate to make some good putts coming in and pull it off.”
Reavie birdied the par-5 12th and made his last birdie on the par-4 16th, holing a 15-footer after his flop approach hit a seam in the grass and shot forward. He got up-and-down for par from a greenside bunker on the par-3 17th, holing a 5-footer, and tapped in for par on the par-4 18th.
“I just stayed patient,” Reavie said. “I knew I was going to have to. I knew some guys were going to make a lot of birdies early. I was hoping to be one of those guys, but the putter was kind of letting me down early. Just tried to keep it as close as I could to the hole and give myself some good looks.”
Noren had a 14-point round. The Swede is a 10-time winner on the European tour who joined the PGA Tour in 2018.
“I love this course,” Noren said. “It was pretty tricky today with the wind. It’s been a roller-coaster of a week, obviously, but when you make the cut, you think, well, this is a great week anyway, and then I played good on the weekend and had a blast today.”
Martin Laird was third at 38 after a seven-point day.
“Really tough out there in the wind.,” Laird said. “It was gusting all over the place. I think I started six back of Chez, so I knew he was obviously playing really well. I’d have to play a pretty special round today to catch him.”
Mark Hubbard finished fourth at 37, and Scott Gutschewski was fifth at 35. | https://fox59.com/sports/ap-sports/chez-reavie-wins-barracuda-for-3rd-pga-tour-title/ | 2022-07-18T21:14:38Z | https://fox59.com/sports/ap-sports/chez-reavie-wins-barracuda-for-3rd-pga-tour-title/ | false |
INDIANAPOLIS – The Indianapolis Colts report to Grand Park Sports Campus in Westfield July 26 for the start of training camp.
Between now and then, we’ll take a position-by-position look at a team that must rebound from its crushing loss in Jacksonville and return to a serious playoff contender.
Follow along.
Today: linebackers.
Starters: WLB Darius Leonard, MLB Bobby Okereke, SLB Zaire Franklin.
Depth: E.J. Speed, JoJo Dormann, Sterling Weatherford, Forrest Rhyne, James Skalski, Brandon King.
Ready? Or not?
No one should question Darius Leonard’s place among the NFL’s linebacker hierarchy. He was the NFL’s 2018 Defensive Rookie of the Year, is a four-time All-Pro – three times a first-team selection – and has been named to three straight Pro Bowls.
Further reinforcement came in a recent ESPN survey of 50 NFL executives, coaches, players and scouts. Leonard ranked 1st among all non-edge rushing ‘backers.
But.
One of the biggest question marks heading into camp is Leonard’s availability.
The heart and soul of the defense underwent back surgery June 7, and Frank Reich said shortly thereafter Leonard will “miss some training camp time, but if all goes according to plan he should be ready to go for the regular season.’’
There has been no update.
Leonard did not participate in the team’s offseason on-field work, and it was thought that was because he still was in rehab mode from a left ankle injury that bothered him throughout 2021. As it turned out, he also was dealing with a back injury that led to a calf issue.
“Darius will continue to rehab (the ankle/calf) and strengthen it, and my guess is now with the back issue cleared up, that the work that he does will actually take affect,’’ Reich said.
Leonard proved last season he’s able to play at a high level despite not being 100%. He earned his third first-team All-Pro nod on the strength of four interceptions, a league-high eight forced fumbles, eight passes defensed and four tackles for loss. He also finished with 122 tackles, but it was the difference-making plays that set him apart.
Although Leonard is coming off one of his most impactful seasons, he admitted it was one of his most difficult seasons. He had surgery last offseason to address an injury to his left ankle that never fully rectified the situation. That proved to just be the beginning. It was a tough year physically and mentally.
“I had the surgery, (and) the ankle was never healed,’’ he said. “My dad got sick, my sister got sick, I lost a cousin, and then it as just a lot of things, little small things that kept bugging.
“I just couldn’t get over it . . . I fell out of love for the game. I wasn’t enjoying it anymore.’’
Hopefully, another offseason – and another surgery – will make a difference.
On the field, Leonard is an ideal fit for Gus Bradley’s defense. He’s relentless and always in attack mode.
Home Sweet Home
Zaire Franklin was an unrestricted free agent at the end of 2021, and there were options.
“Honestly, it felt a lot like house-hunting, you know what I mean?’’ he said with a smile. “When it first starts you might fall in love with one house, then you put a bid in, and somebody outbids you. All right, whatever.’’
When it came time to decide, the 2018 7th-round draft pick opted to stay put.
“You kind of fall in love with a situation, but at the end of the day, I was really happy to really come home,’’ he said. “Just being back in the building, it really means a lot. Being comfortable just where I am from knowing my whole routine, my everything I’ve had going for four years is set up.
“Just happy to be back, happy to be back in the building, ready to keep making a run at this thing.’’
No one should casually dismiss the decision to re-sign Franklin. Teams don’t issue a free-agent contract to one of their own unless it’s merited. Franklin returned with a three-year, $12 million deal that included $4 million in guarantees.
Franklin has been one of the team’s core special teams players – at least 79% of the snaps in each of the last three seasons – and emerged as an 11-game starter at strong-side ‘backer last season. He finished with 40 tackles, including one for a loss.
Big Year for Okereke
This won’t be just another year for Bobby Okereke. The 2019 3rd-round draft pick will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season.
It’s anyone’s guess whether another strong season will convince management to re-invest in another of its own. Last offseason, the team signed Leonard, right tackle Braden Smith and running back Nyheim Hines to extensions. Guard Quenton Nelson is expected to receive a massive extension in the coming weeks.
Okereke has been heavily involved in the defense from the outset. He started eight games in each of his first two seasons, then started all 17 last year. And he made a difference in ’21 with a team-high 132 tackles, 2 sacks, two interceptions, three forced fumbles and nine tackles for loss.
The 6-1, 235-pounder offers speed and athleticism, both of which are key to coverage responsibilities and run support.
By the Numbers, Part I
The deeper you dive into Leonard’s four-year career, the more impressed you get. Since 2018, he ranks 2nd in total tackles with 538 (Bobby Wagner has 605) and 3rd with 343 solos (Roquan Smith with 348 and Wagner with 344). Leonard is tied-2nd with 17 forced fumbles (T.J. Watt has 21), tied-3rd with seven fumble recoveries (Justin Houston and Vonn Bell with nine each).
His 11 interceptions are most by a linebacker and tied-11th among all defenders.
By the Numbers, Part II
The Colts’ starting ‘backers return intact – Leonard, Okereke and Franklin. They share 170 games and 106 starts.
But there’s little depth behind them. In fact, there’s only one start, which belongs to E.J. Speed. Brandon King, 29, was signed as a free agent and is listed among the ‘backers. But he’s a special teams standout. In six seasons, he’s been on the field for two defensive snaps and 1,390 special teams snaps.
Sterling Weatherford, a product of Hamilton Heights H.S., JoJo Dormann, James Skalski and Forrest Rhyne are rookies.

A man suspected of fatally stabbing former NASCAR driver Bobby East last week at a Southern California gas station was shot and killed over the weekend as police attempted to arrest him.
The Westminster Police Department said in a press release that on July 13, at around 5:51 p.m., officers responded to the 76 gas station where they found a man with a stab wound to his chest.
East was transported to a local hospital, where he later succumbed to his injury, police said.
According to the Associated Press, the victim was later identified as East.
He was 37.
Police identified Trent William Millsap as the stabbing suspect.
In the statement, police said Millsap fled the scene before police arrived.
On Friday, police said they received information that Millsap was at an apartment in Anaheim.
"The West County SWAT Team responded to serve a search/arrest warrant for the suspect," police said. "During the service of the search warrant, an officer-involved shooting took place."
According to the Associated Press, Millsap was shot and killed.
Millsap was on parole for armed robbery, police said. He also had an outstanding warrant for an unrelated parole violation, the news outlet reported.
East had 11 career starts in the now NASCAR’s Xfinity Series during his short stint in NASCAR, the AP reported.
According to the news outlet, the motive for the stabbing is unclear and both deaths are still under investigation | https://www.kgun9.com/news/national/former-nascar-driver-bobby-east-fatally-stabbed-at-california-gas-station | 2022-07-18T21:17:19Z | https://www.kgun9.com/news/national/former-nascar-driver-bobby-east-fatally-stabbed-at-california-gas-station | false |

Getting a diabetes diagnosis can be an overwhelming time. There are a lot of components to the condition that you need to understand. There are also daily and other regular tests and medications you’ll need to administer to yourself in order to maintain your health.
Lancing devices are part of the process of checking your blood glucose levels, which is essential to controlling the effects of your diabetes diagnosis.

Lancing devices are basically made up of two different components: the lancet (which is the needle you’ll use to prick your skin) and the device itself. The device is used to launch the lancet into the skin to allow you to draw a very small blood sample. They usually look quite similar to a pen, but with a wider circumference.
Although lancets can be used separately, many people choose to use lancing devices. They’re typically quicker and less painful to use, making the overall process a lot easier. Lancing devices allow you to set the depth of the needle as it goes into your skin, so you’re getting consistency with your regular lancing process. Many lancing devices also allow you to adjust the depth of the skin pricking.
Cam-driven
Cam-driven lancing devices allow you to insert multiple lancets at one time. Then, every time you use the lancing device to prick your finger, you simply turn the cam to use a fresh lancet. This is particularly convenient for people who regularly use lancing devices on the go, as you don’t have to store the lancing device and lancets separately when traveling.
Spring-loaded
Spring-loaded versions of the device only allow you to load one lancet at a time. The benefit of using a spring-loaded lancet is that some of them are suitable for use in areas other than your finger. So, if you prefer to prick the skin in another part of the body, a spring-loaded lancing device is the preferable option.
How to use a lancing device correctly
Step 1: Choose your preferred lancet type
It makes sense to want the smallest, thinnest needle possible for lancing. After all, they’re far less likely to be painful. Unfortunately, lancets that are too small or thin may not pierce through thicker skin. If they’re too short, you might not get a blood droplet from the puncture.
Finding the right lancet type for your skin will likely be a case of trial and error.
Step 2: Get prepared
Make sure your hands are washed before you prepare or use the lancing device.
Take your lancet and load it into the lancing device. If you’re using a cam-driven lancet, you probably just need to turn the barrel to a new lancet.
Step 3: Select the correct depth
Again, this might take a little trial and error. Start at the lowest depth setting on your lancing device. If this provides you with an ample drop of blood, then that’s fine. If not, you may need to slowly increase the depth on the lancing device until you have a sufficient blood drop to test your glucose levels.
Step 4: Use the lancing device
Once you’ve selected the depth, apply the tip of the lancing device to the surface of your skin, usually on the finger. Most lancing devices have a button right at the top of the pen-like shape. Once you press this button, the lancet will be launched into the skin.
Draw the lancing device back to retract the lancet out of your skin. You may need to squeeze your skin a little to encourage a blood droplet.

LA TESTE-DE-BUCH, France (AP) — A heat wave broiling Europe spilled northward Monday to Britain and fueled ferocious wildfires in Spain and France, which evacuated thousands of people and scrambled water-bombing planes and firefighters to battle flames in tinder-dry forests.
Two people were killed in the blazes in Spain that its prime minister linked to global warming, saying, “Climate change kills.”
That toll comes on top of the hundreds of heat-related deaths reported in the Iberian peninsula, as high temperatures have gripped the continent in recent days and triggered wildfires from Portugal to the Balkans. Some areas, including northern Italy, are also experiencing extended droughts. Climate change makes such life-threatening extremes less of a rarity — and heat waves have come even to places like Britain, which braced for possible record-breaking temperatures.
The hot weather in the U.K. was expected to be so severe this week that train operators warned it could warp the rails and some schools set up wading pools to help children cool off.
In France, heat records were broken and swirling hot winds complicated firefighting in the country’s southwest.
“The fire is literally exploding,” said Marc Vermeulen, the regional fire service chief who described tree trunks shattering as flames consumed them, sending burning embers into the air and further spreading the blazes.
“We’re facing extreme and exceptional circumstances,” he said.
Authorities evacuated more towns, moving another 14,900 people from areas that could find themselves in the path of the fires and choking smoke. In all, more than 31,000 people have been forced from their homes and summer vacation spots in the Gironde region since the wildfires began July 12.
Three additional planes were sent to join six others fighting the fires, scooping up seawater 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 firefighters trying to contain the blazes in the Gironde, where flames neared prized vineyards and billowed smoke across the Arcachon maritime basin famed for its oysters and beaches.
Spain, meanwhile, reported a second fatality in two days in 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.
Passengers on a train through Zamora got a frightening, close look at a blaze, when their train halted in the countryside. Video of the unscheduled — and unnerving — stop showed about a dozen passengers in a railcar becoming alarmed as they looked out of the windows at the flames encroaching on both sides of the track.
Climate scientists say heat waves are more intense, more frequent and longer because of climate change — and coupled with droughts have made wildfires harder to fight. They 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, the site of 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 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit), cooling only moderately at night.
At least 748 heat-related deaths have been reported in the heat wave in Spain and neighboring Portugal, where temperatures reached 47 C (117 F) earlier this month.
The heat wave in Spain was 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 Britain, officials have issued the first-ever extreme heat warning, and the weather service forecast that the record high of 38.7 C (101.7 F), 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.”
France’s often-temperate Brittany region sweltered with a record 39.3 C (102.7 F) degrees in the port of Brest, surpassing a high of 35.1 C that had stood since September 2003, French weather service Meteo-France said.
Regional records in France were broken in over a dozen towns, as the weather service said Monday was “the hottest day of this heat wave.”
The Balkans region expected the worst of the heat later this week, but has already seen sporadic wildfires.
Early Monday, authorities in Slovenia said firefighters brought one fire under control. Croatia sent a water-dropping plane there to help after struggling last week with its own wildfires along the Adriatic Sea. A fire in Sibenik forced some people to evacuate their homes but was later extinguished.
In Portugal, much cooler weather Monday helped fire crews make progress. More than 600 firefighters attended four major fires in northern Portugal.

Essex Police enforce dispersal order in Southend
- Published
Police have enforced a dispersal order in Southend to try to tackle anti-social behaviour on the seafront.
The move was made after concerns were raised by traders about "groups of males" arriving as temperatures in Essex soared.
The order covered Eastern and Western Esplanade, Marine Parade and the High Street and came into force at 16:30 BST.
Police said it would be in place until 02:00 on Wednesday.
Acting Insp Dave Gardiner, of the Southend community policing team, said the move was to provide reassurance in the city.
Unease
He said: "We began to see groups of males arriving at the train station and along the seafront in the middle of the afternoon and received multiple calls from business owners who expressed their unease.
"We will take robust action against anyone behaving anti-socially or committing acts of violence."
Mr Gardiner warned there would be a "considerable" police presence across the city during the period of the dispersal order. | https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-essex-62212480 | 2022-07-18T21:24:39Z | https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-essex-62212480 | false |

ST. VINCENT (PIX11) — Veron Primus, who was indicted in absentia for the 2006 murder of Brooklyn honors student Chanel Petro-Nixon, was convicted in St. Vincent and the Grenadines Monday in the fatal stabbing of a real estate agent.
The victim was Sharleen Greaves, 31, who was found dead in November 2015 in her office on the Caribbean island. Kenton X. Chance, reporter with iWitness News in St. Vincent, notified PIX11 News of the development.
Primus, 35–who was long a person of interest in Brooklyn’s Petro-Nixon case–had been deported to his native St. Vincent in April 2015, after serving time in a New York State prison for violating an order of protection against a former girlfriend. The woman said Primus tried to hold her hostage.
When Chanel Petro-Nixon, just 16 and an aspiring nurse, disappeared on Father’s Day 2006 from her home in Bedford-Stuyvesant, she had told friends she was meeting Primus at a nearby Applebee’s to file a job application. Petro-Nixon knew Primus from a church school in Brooklyn. At the time, Petro-Nixon was 16 and Primus was 19.
The girl never came home and, four days later, her body was found in a garbage bag on a sidewalk on Kingston Avenue. The cause of death was strangulation.
Primus was questioned by police in 2006 and denied any involvement, but detectives found he gave inconsistent statements.
Ten years later, a resident of St. Vincent contacted PIX11’s Mary Murphy and said Primus had been arrested for allegedly holding a young woman captive for three and a half months. The victim, Mewanah Hadaway, said Primus had shown her a 2006 New York Post article about Chanel Petro-Nixon’s murder and said “he knew who did it,” according to Hadaway.
Mary Murphy flew to St. Vincent and the Grenadines to interview the former hostage, along with Inether Bailey-Holder, the mother of murder victim Sharleen Greaves. About the same time, members of the NYPD Cold Case Squad flew to the island to build a case against Primus in Petro-Nixon’s murder.
Less than two months after Murphy’s trip, the Brooklyn District Attorney’s office announced the indictment against Primus for the murder of Chanel Petro-Nixon.
Primus has remained in Her Majesty’s Prison on the island of St. Vincent since 2016, although he escaped twice and was apprehended both times.
It remains unclear if Primus will be brought to New York for a murder trial in the strangulation death of Chanel Petro-Nixon. | https://pix11.com/news/suspect-in-brooklyn-teens-strangulation-convicted-in-caribbean-for-another-womans-death/ | 2022-07-18T21:28:15Z | https://pix11.com/news/suspect-in-brooklyn-teens-strangulation-convicted-in-caribbean-for-another-womans-death/ | true |
