SALMON, Idaho. (AP) — A firefighting helicopter with two people aboard crashed Thursday afternoon in the Salmon River in Idaho, officials said.
“It is with heavy hearts that we confirm … a CH-47D Series ‘Chinook’ helicopter operated by ROTAK Helicopter Services with two pilots on board was involved in an accident in the area near Salmon,” ROTAK Helicopter Services told EastIdahoNews.com. “Emergency medical teams are responding to the scene.”
A spokeswoman with the U.S. Forest Service said an incident management team is handling the crash but further details were not released, including the conditions of the pilots.
The helicopter company said it would issue a full statement once information is confirmed.
The Moose Fire started Sunday about 5 miles (8 kilometers) southwest of North Fork in the Salmon-Challis National Forest.
The Forest Service said helicopters have been used this week to support ground firefighting resources with water bucket drops. | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Firefighting-helicopter-crashes-into-Idaho-river-17321501.php | 2022-07-22T04:46:31Z | https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/Firefighting-helicopter-crashes-into-Idaho-river-17321501.php | false |

It’s still three hours from the scheduled first pitch and the young Guardians are already playing games.
Meet the kinder-Guardians.
Jumping on an electric scooter, pitcher Triston McKenzie rolls by a ping-pong table and barely taps the brakes while jetting past the Mario Kart arcade game, whose joystick is often manned by All-Star third baseman José Ramírez.
In the corner, utilityman Ernie Clement fires shots on a Nerf basketball court with a 3-point line taped to the clubhouse carpet. The team’s trash-talking chess club will get a match going soon, and a card game will break out before the Guardians take the field.
“This is absolutely as much fun as I’ve ever had, and it’s not just the team,” said catcher Austin Hedges, who at 29 is one of Cleveland’s oldest players. “We enjoy each other and pull for each other. There’s no cliquey-ness.
“I don’t think that happens in every clubhouse.”
Under manager Terry Francona, baseball’s youngest team — the Guardians’ average batting age (26.1) and average pitching age (26.5) are below Triple-A averages — is having fun while also developing into a playoff contender sooner than expected.
They’re a work in progress, but making strides.
“We’re so young,” said the 63-year-old Francona, invigorated by his team’s youth in his 10th season with Cleveland after health issues sidelined him the previous two. “But that’s not an excuse. When you have youth, you have some enthusiasm that comes with it.
“We make mistakes, but we don’t play dumb baseball. I get a kick out of that.”
The Guardians are set to resume play after All-Star break at 46-44, two games behind first-place Minnesota in the AL Central despite an uneven unofficial first half that included scheduling challenges due to wet weather.
Perhaps it was fitting their last game before the break was postponed — Cleveland’s ninth home rainout.
And while they lack household names or national TV appearances, the Guardians, whose solid first half could prompt the front office to make moves at the Aug. 2 trading dealing, are a team to watch, both this season and beyond.
In Ramírez, they’ve got one of the game’s best all-around players and he’s under contract through 2028 after signing a seven-year, $141 million deal. Ramírez hit the break leading the AL with 75 RBI.
Second baseman Andrés Giménez, acquired last year when Cleveland sent Francisco Lindor to the New York Mets, made the All-Star team in his first full season and has the look of a perennial star.
Shane Bieber anchors a starting staff that hasn’t been as good as advertised, but the bullpen’s loaded with power arms, none bigger than 24-year-old flamethrower Emmanuel Clase, the team’s third All-Star selection.
Cleveland’s minor league system is stocked and the arrival of minority owner David Blitzer — he also has ownership stakes in the Philadelphia 76ers, New Jersey Devils and soccer clubs in the U.S. and Europe — could lead to a significant bump in payroll.
This season was supposed to be about development, but the Guardians have played their way into contention. They just might stay there.
They’ve already had 10 players make their major league debuts in 2022 with rookie outfielders Steven Kwan, Oscar Gonzalez and Nolan Jones all making positive contributions.
“It’s impressive,” New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said during a recent series in Cleveland. “They’re kind of coming of age. They’re athletic. They have a lot of young, interesting players that are turning out to being winning players, winning pieces.”
The Guardians’ style is unorthodox in today’s swing-for-the-fences-or-bust game. They’ve only hit 71 homers, third-fewest in the majors. But with a patient approach at the plate, they attack in smaller ways, using a base-to-base approach that has worked.
And they don’t quit.
Following fiery first baseman Josh Naylor’s lead as he makes his own comeback from a gruesome leg injury, Cleveland has posted 19 come-from-behind wins. After a recent walk-off homer, Naylor head-butted a helmeted Francona, bending his glasses.
“They might not show us on ‘SportsCenter’ for very long, but if we’re winning, it doesn’t really matter,” said right-hander Cal Quantrill. “I feel like we’ve kind of bought into that. We’ll do things the right way. We’re going to grind, we’re going to continue to play good baseball after the fifth inning, we’re going to really show up and do things the right way.”
Teaching while trying to contend can be tricky, but Francona appears to be threading the needle.
“Patience is the key when you’re managing and allowing the mistakes to happen,” Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said. “Keep a positive environment when guys are breaking in and let players be themselves. Tito is one of the best at it, from afar.
“I’ve never been in the clubhouse with him. But seeing the joy his teams play with it’s no secret that he’s got a special touch with young players while maintaining a pretty high standard for his veteran players.”
Along the way, there have been growing pains.
A 7-2 road stretch was followed by a 1-6 slide, and when the Guardians recently dropped four straight in Detroit, postseason chatter dissipated. Cleveland, though, closed the first half with three wins in a row, and an 11-game trip against the White Sox, Red Sox and Rays after the break will be pivotal.
Whatever lies ahead, one thing is certain: the Guardians will have fun doing it.
“We all love and respect each other, and enjoy hanging out together,” said McKenzie. “That’s what makes this team so great.” | https://www.news-herald.com/2022/07/21/young-kinderguardians-quickly-developing-into-contenders/ | 2022-07-22T04:46:35Z | https://www.news-herald.com/2022/07/21/young-kinderguardians-quickly-developing-into-contenders/ | false |

White House tries to make Biden’s COVID a ‘teachable moment’
WASHINGTON (AP) — For more than a year, President Joe Biden’s ability to avoid the coronavirus seemed to defy the odds. When he finally did test positive, the White House was ready. It set out to turn the diagnosis into a “teachable moment” and dispel any notion of a crisis.
“The president does what every other person in America does every day, which is he takes reasonable precautions against COVID but does his job,” White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain told MSNBC late in the afternoon on Thursday.
It was a day that began with Biden’s COVID-19 results and included repeated assurances over the coming hours that the president was hard at work while isolating in the residential areas of the White House with “very mild symptoms” including a runny nose, dry cough and fatigue.
Biden, in a blazer and Oxford shirt, recorded a video from the White House balcony telling people: “I’m doing well, getting a lot of work done. And, in the meantime, thanks for your concern. And keep the faith. It’s going to be OK.”
“Keeping busy!” he also tweeted.
On Friday, Biden was scheduled to meet virtually with his economic team and senior advisors to discuss congressional priorities.
It was all part of an administration effort to shift the narrative from a health scare to a display of Biden as the personification of the idea that most Americans can get COVID and recover without too much suffering and disruption if they’ve gotten their shots and taken other important steps to protect themselves.
The message was crafted to alleviate voters’ concerns about Biden’s health — at 79, he’s the oldest person ever to be president. And it was aimed at demonstrating to the country that the pandemic is far less of a threat than it was before Biden took office, thanks to widespread vaccines and new therapeutic drugs.
Conveying that sentiment on Day 1 of Biden’s coronavirus experience virus wasn’t always easy, though.
In a lengthy briefing with reporters, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said repeatedly that the White House had been as transparent as possible about the president’s health. But she parried with reporters over specifics. And when pressed about where Biden might have contracted the virus, she responded, “I don’t think that that matters, right? I think what matters is we prepared for this moment.”
Jean-Pierre and White House COVID-19 Response Coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha didn’t fully answer questions about whether Biden began isolating as soon as he started experiencing symptoms on Wednesday night, as federal guidelines suggest, or did so following his positive test the next day. Jha declined to speculate on some aspects of the president’s prognosis, characterizing the questions as hypotheticals.
Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, said it’s important for Americans to know they must remain careful about the virus, which continues to kill hundreds of people daily.
“That’s the balance that we have to strike,” Osterholm said. “The president of the United States will do very well. But that may not be true for everyone.”
Biden’s first-day symptoms were mild in large part because he’s fully vaccinated and boosted, according to a statement issued by his physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor. The president also is taking Paxlovid, an antiviral drug designed to reduce the severity of the disease.
Jha said Biden’s case was being prioritized, meaning it will likely take less than a week for sequencing to determine which variant of the virus Biden contracted. Omicron’s highly contagious BA.5 sub-strain now makes up more than 65% of U.S. cases.
Jean-Pierre said first lady Jill Biden was in close contact with the president, but she declined to discuss others who also might have been exposed, citing privacy reasons. Biden had traveled to Massachusetts a day earlier to promote efforts to combat climate change and flew on Air Force One with several Democratic leaders, including Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
A White House official confirmed that Vice President Kamala Harris was also in close contact with Biden, and Klain said he was too.
Klain, who called the president’s testing positive a “teachable moment” for the country, said the White House wasn’t aware of any positive COVID results that were linked to the president’s case.
During her briefing, Jean-Pierre bristled at suggestions the Biden administration wasn’t being much more forthcoming with information about the president’s illness than that of his predecessor, Donald Trump. The former president contracted COVID-19 in the fall of 2020, before vaccines were available, and was hospitalized at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for three nights.
“I wholeheartedly disagree,” Jean-Pierre said of comparison. “We are doing this very differently — very differently — than the last administration.”
Asked about the possibility Biden might need to be hospitalized, Jha stressed that the president was “doing well” and added that there were “obviously a lot of resources available here at the White House to take care of him.”
“Walter Reed is always on standby for presidents. That’s always an option,” he added. “That’s true whether the president had COVID or not.”
Leana Wen, a public health professor at George Washington University, said it was good for the White House to send the message that Biden can keep working even after testing positive.
“That shows that it’s business as usual,” Wren said.
Jean-Pierre’s predecessor, Jen Psaki, noted that White House officials have “been preparing for this probably for several months now, given the percentage of people in the country who have tested positive.”
“What they need to do over the next couple of days is show him working and show him still active and serving as president and I’m certain they’ll likely do that,” Psaki, who left her post as White House press secretary in May, said on MSNBC, where she’s becoming a commentator.
Biden plans to continue to isolate until he tests negative, the White House said.
Dr. Eric Topol, head of Scripps Research Translational Institute, said that could mean he’s “out of commission from interacting with people for at least eight to 10 days.”
“This could go on easily for a couple of weeks, but the good thing is they are going to monitor him very carefully,” Topol said. “That is what we should be doing for everyone so that we don’t keep playing into the virus’ hands, causing more spread when it’s already hyper-spreadable.”

RUSSELLVILLE, Ark. — With students going back to school in a few weeks, parents around the state have concerns about safety. Many school districts are re-evaluating their safety plan and their number of school resource officers.
According to the Arkansas School Safety Commission’s most recent statistics, there are 460 school resource officers in the state’s 223 districts. 84% of school districts have an armed presence on campus, but only 20% of Arkansas school districts have a school resource officer on all campuses. (This data was taken from a 2019 School Safety Assessment. We will not know more current data until the 2022 School Safety Assessment is completed and analyzed).
Russellville School District (RSD) already has school resource officers for its middle, junior, and senior high schools as well as an agreement with the Pope County Sheriff’s Department to provide a school resource officer for Center Valley Elementary and London Elementary, but after hearing of the 21 people killed and 17 injured in a Texas elementary school shooting, people pushed for more help for the most vulnerable.
“How can we prevent in Russellville what happened in Uvalde, Texas?”, Russellville Mayor Richard Harris asked in a Thursday night city council meeting before taking a vote in hopes to protect the city’s children.
On the agenda, was a decision to fund a school resource officer (RSO) for each elementary school within city limits, including Sequoyah, Oakland Heights, Dwight and Crawford Elementary schools, with $160,000 left over from 2021’s general fund.
The funds are set to last one year with $86,000 will go toward salaries, $44,000 will go toward equipment, and the remainder being split between retirement, insurance, and taxes.
“There’s no way you can put a price tag on a kid,” expressed Mark Tripp.
Tripp’s wife teaches fourth grade in the Russellville School District, and they have a child entering kindergarten this year. He’s also on the city council which voted unanimously to fund a school resource officer for all four elementary schools inside the city limits.
Tripp said, “The money is there. The resources are there. We just have to make it a priority.”
Mayor Harris said he anticipates RSD will help fund the partnership in the future, and he mentioned there may be some federal funds in the future that will allow the city to be reimbursed to some extent.
With the decision, all but one school in the district will have its own SRO. A feat most recent Arkansas Department of Education statistics show only one in five natural state school districts has achieved.
According to Tripp, “At the end of the day the biggest concern of parents is safety in school, and the second is their education, but they want to know is their kid safe.”
The Russellville Police Department will have two school resource officers ready for the beginning of the school year according to Mayor Harris. The two other SROs are expected during the school year. | https://www.kark.com/news/local-news/russellville-votes-to-put-a-school-resource-officer-in-each-elementary-school/ | 2022-07-22T05:00:20Z | https://www.kark.com/news/local-news/russellville-votes-to-put-a-school-resource-officer-in-each-elementary-school/ | true |
Austria coach says England and Germany ‘pretty much on the same level’
By PA Staff published
Austria coach Irene Fuhmann believes there is little to choose between England and Germany at the Women’s Euro 2022.
Fuhmann’s side were beaten 2-0 by the Germans, although the result was only secured after Alexandra Popp capitalised on a 90th-minute error by goalkeeper Manuela Zinsberger to add to Lina Magull’s first-half goal.
The eight-time winners are the second team into the semi-finals after hosts England but Austria’s coach cannot choose between the two as favourites.
“It’s very difficult to compare,” she said.
“I think both teams have a lot of individual quality and a depth in the squad, maybe England play a bit more vertically but Germany have very fast players, so I think two teams that are pretty much on the same level.”
Germany bid gathers pace
Germany may have needed a 90th-minute Popp goal to make sure of their progress but coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg said there should be no doubt they deserve to go through. “We played against a very good side. Huge compliments to Austria. The game could have ended 6-3,” she said post-match. “We didn’t want to concede so many set pieces but we did better in the second half and I still believe that we leave the pitch as deserved winners.” Midfielder Lina Magull added: “It was end to end for the whole 90 minutes. It was a very intense game. Compliments to Austria: they never stop fighting. We were also a bit lucky because we gave them too many chances.”
Gerhardsson silent on selection issues
Sweden boss Peter Gerhardsson was tight-lipped over his selection issues ahead of their quarter-final with Belgium. Defenders Hanna Glas and Emma Kullberg both tested positive for Covid on Wednesday and their coach refused to discuss their chances of participation. Asked if either player had since tested negative, Gerhardsson said: “I’m not going to answer that question. I don’t want to give Belgium any advantages before a game in the quarter-final.”
Serneels thinks Swedes could be nervous
Belgium coach Ives Serneels has suggested his Swedish counterpart could be nervous ahead of their sides’ Euro 2022 quarter-final on Friday. Gerhardsson has been reluctant to speak too much about his side ahead of the clash at Leigh Sports Village to prevent Belgium gaining an advantage. “It is football. It is a quarter-final of the European Championship. Maybe it shows a bit of nervousness of the other side. For me I don’t see any problem,” he said.
Dutch out for revenge

Netherlands coach Mark Parsons is looking to prove their improvement to France in their quarter-final meeting on Saturday after their last meeting ended in a 3-1 defeat in February. “We’re playing big opponents, and so are they. I don’t think they want to play us. The (February) result wasn’t what we wanted but we said that that the next time we played them, we were confident that we would be better. We saw opportunity.”

UPDATE: Redding police negotiate with armed man holed up in car outside Market Street motel near downtown
Redding police who've swarmed the parking lot of a Market Street motel near the downtown say they are trying to negotiate with a man who is inside his car with a weapon and will not come out.
At about 5:45 p.m., police said they received a tip that a man wanted on felony warrants was at the Market Street Manor Motel near downtown Redding.
Officers arrived to arrest him as he was getting into the car to leave. said Capt. Brian Cole with the Redding Police Department. "He's armed with a firearm" so police called in the SWAT team and Crisis Intervention Response Team to help.
Members of the Crisis Intervention Response Team are negotiating with him on the phone, Cole said. "We're trying to take it as slow as possible to get him to give up safely so nobody gets hurt."
Police escorted guests from the hotel so they're not in danger, Cole said.
Police are asking motorists and pedestrians to stay out of the area, he said.
Negotiations are still in progress, police said at 8 p.m.
Original story
A heavy police presence was seen early Thursday evening in a parking lot of a motel on Market Street near downtown Redding.
Police have cordoned off Market Street Manor Motel and blocked off Market Street near Mallory's Flowers & Gifts shop. A helicopter was hovering over the area.
Police cautioned drivers on social media to avoid the area of Market Street near the motel because of their presence but did not say what prompted them to come out.
Law enforcement could be seen throwing what appeared to be tear gas into one of the rooms and at least one officer wiped their eyes after four or five loud bursts.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Supreme Court won't allow the Biden administration to implement a policy that prioritizes deportation of people in the country illegally who pose the greatest public safety risk.
The court's order Thursday leaves the policy frozen nationwide for now. The vote was 5-4 with conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett joining liberal Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson in saying they would have allowed the Biden administration to put in place the guidance.
The court also announced it would hear arguments in the case, saying they would be in late November.
The order is the first public vote by Jackson since she joined the court June 30 following the retirement of Justice Stephen Breyer.
The justices were acting on the administration's emergency request to the court following conflicting decisions by federal appeals courts over a September directive from the Homeland Security Department that paused deportation unless individuals had committed acts of terrorism, espionage or "egregious threats to public safety."
The federal appeals court in Cincinnati earlier this month overturned a district judge's order that put the policy on hold in a lawsuit filed by Arizona, Ohio and Montana.
But in a separate suit filed by Texas and Louisiana, a federal judge in Texas ordered a nationwide halt to the guidance and a federal appellate panel in New Orleans declined to step in.
The judge's order amounted to a "nationwide, judicially imposed overhaul of the Executive Branch's enforcement priorities," Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar wrote in a court filing. Prelogar is the administration's top Supreme Court lawyer.
In their Supreme Court filing, Texas and Louisiana argued that the administration's guidance violates federal law that requires the detention of people who are in the U.S. illegally and who have been convicted of serious crimes. The states said they would face added costs of having to detain people the federal government might allow to remain free inside the United States, despite their criminal records.
The guidance, issued after Joe Biden became president, updated a Trump-era policy that removed people in the country illegally regardless of criminal history or community ties. | https://www.abc15.com/news/national/supreme-court-wont-let-biden-implement-immigration-policy | 2022-07-22T05:09:25Z | https://www.abc15.com/news/national/supreme-court-wont-let-biden-implement-immigration-policy | false |

Jan. 6: Trump spurned aides' pleas to call off Capitol mob
WASHINGTON (AP) - Despite desperate pleas from aides, allies, Republican congressional leaders and even his family, Donald Trump refused to call off the Jan. 6 mob attack on the Capitol, instead "pouring gasoline on the fire" by aggressively tweeting his false claims of a stolen election and celebrating his crowd of supporters as "very special."
The next day, he declared anew, "I don't want to say the election is over." That was in a previously unaired outtake of an address to the nation he was to give, shown at Thursday night's prime-time hearing of the House investigating committee.
The committee documented how for some 187 minutes, from the time Trump left a rally stage sending his supporters to the Capitol to the time he ultimately appeared in the Rose Garden video, nothing could compel the defeated president to act. Instead, he watched the violence unfold on TV.
"President Trump didn´t fail to act," said Rep. Adam Kinzinger, a fellow Republican but frequent Trump critic who flew combat missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. "He chose not to act."
After months of work and weeks of hearings, the prime-time hearing started the way the committee began - laying blame for the deadly attack on Trump himself for summoning the mob to Washington and sending them to Capitol Hill.

Live updates | Lawmakers hold Trump 'responsible' for Jan. 6
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Latest on the hearing Thursday by the House committee investigating the Capitol riot (all times local):
10:35 p.m.
Members of the House committee investigating the Capitol riot are saying unequivocally that Donald Trump is to blame for the violence and they're saying lawmakers will recommend ways to prevent another Jan. 6.
As the committee wrapped up its prime-time hearing Thursday, Democratic Rep. Elaine Luria of Virginia said "President Trump did not then and does not now have the character or courage to say to the American people what his own people know to be true. He is responsible for the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6."
And fellow committee member Adam Kinzinger, a Republican congressman from Illinois, said that "whatever your politics, whatever you think about the outcome of the election, we as Americans must all agree on this. Donald Trump´s conduct on Jan. 6 was a supreme violation of his oath of office and a complete dereliction of his duty to our nation. It is a stain on our history."

Jan. 6 takeaways: White House in chaos, unmovable Trump
WASHINGTON (AP) - The House Jan. 6 committee is closing out its set of summer hearings with its most detailed focus yet on the investigation´s main target: former President Donald Trump.
The panel is examining Trump´s actions on Jan. 6, 2021, as hundreds of his supporters broke into the U.S. Capitol, guiding viewers minute-by-minute through the deadly afternoon to show how long it took for the former president to call off the rioters. The panel is focusing on 187 minutes that day, between the end of Trump´s speech calling for supporters to march to the Capitol at 1:10 p.m. and a video he released at 4:17 p.m. telling the rioters they were "very special" but they had to go home.
Trump was "the only person in the world who could call off the mob," but he refused to do so for several hours, said the committee´s chairman, Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson, who was participating in the hearing remotely due to a COVID-19 diagnosis. "He could not be moved."
THE WHITE HOUSE DINING ROOM
The panel emphasized where Trump was as the violence unfolded - in a White House dining room, sitting at the head of the table, watching the violent breach of the Capitol on Fox News. He retreated to the dining room at 1:25 p.m., according to Rep. Elaine Luria, D-Va., one of two members who led the hearing. That was after some rioters had already breached barriers around the Capitol - and after Trump had been told about the violence within 15 minutes of returning to the White House.

Lee Zeldin, GOP nominee for NY governor, assaulted at rally
NEW YORK (AP) - U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin, the Republican candidate for New York governor, was assaulted by a man who apparently tried to stab him at an upstate event Thursday but the congressman escaped serious injury.
"I´m OK," Zeldin said in a statement. "Fortunately, I was able to grab his wrist and stop him for a few moments until others tackled him."
Zeldin´s campaign said the attacker was taken into custody and the congressman continued his speech. He is challenging incumbent Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul this November.
The attacker climbed onto a low stage where the congressman spoke to a crowd of dozens outside Rochester, flanked by bales of hay and American flags. A video posted on Twitter shows the two falling to the ground as other people try to intervene.
Among those who helped to subdue the attacker was Zeldin´s running mate, former New York Police Department Deputy Inspector Alison Esposito, said state GOP Chair Nick Langworthy.

Biden tests positive for COVID-19, has 'very mild symptoms'
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Joe Biden tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday and went into isolation with mild symptoms. White House officials went all-out to show that the 79-year-old U.S. leader could power through the virus and keep working because he was vaccinated and boosted.
In a navy blazer and Oxford shirt, Biden recorded a video on a White House balcony to send the message that he would be fine and the country should stay calm and carry on. He recognizes the pandemic as a national trauma that has killed more than one million Americans and alarmed millions more, and his words in the video posted to Twitter were meant to be reassuring.
"I´m doing well, getting a lot of work done," Biden said, the faint sound of an ice cream truck jingling in the distance. "And in the meantime, thanks for your concern. And keep the faith. It´s going to be OK."
Thursday demonstrated one of the inevitable risks awaiting a president who has insisted on trying to reconnect with the world and everyday Americans after a prolonged lockdown. It was a reminder that COVID-19, with its mutations and sub-strains, continues to be a threat; the White House also saw it as a chance to demonstrate progress in combating the disease.
Administration officials reminded people that Biden´s prognosis is strong because he´s received every vaccine dose for which he´s eligible, including two original shots and two boosters. He´s also being treated with Paxlovid, an antiviral drug used to prevent more severe symptoms.

HIMARS and howitzers: West helps Ukraine with key weaponry
The message to U.S. lawmakers from Ukraine's first lady, delivered amid stark and graphic images of civilian bloodshed, couldn't have been clearer: After nearly five full months since Russia launched its invasion, Olena Zelenska said that her country needs more Western weapons.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy sent her to Washington to appeal directly to U.S. Congress for air defense systems.
The appeal Wednesday came as Russia suggested it plans to grab broader areas beyond the industrial region of eastern Ukraine known as the Donbas, with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov emphasizing that Moscow also claims the Kherson region and part of Zaporizhzhia and will "continuously and persistently" expand its gains elsewhere.
The billions of dollars in Western military assistance have been crucial for Ukraine's efforts to fend off Russian attacks, but officials in Kyiv say the numbers are still too small to turn the tide of the war.
A look at what Ukraine has received so far:

Supreme Court won't let Biden implement immigration policy
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court won't allow the Biden administration to implement a policy that prioritizes deportation of people in the country illegally who pose the greatest public safety risk.
The court's order Thursday leaves the policy frozen nationwide for now. The vote was 5-4 with conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett joining liberal Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson in saying they would have allowed the Biden administration to put in place the guidance.
The court also announced it would hear arguments in the case, saying they would be in late November.
The order is the first public vote by Jackson since she joined the court June 30 following the retirement of Justice Stephen Breyer.
The justices were acting on the administration's emergency request to the court following conflicting decisions by federal appeals courts over a September directive from the Homeland Security Department that paused deportation unless individuals had committed acts of terrorism, espionage or "egregious threats to public safety."

Rio police raid on favela kills at least 18, sparks anger
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) - A police operation Thursday targeting gang members in Rio de Janeiro's largest complex of favelas, or low-income communities, left at least 18 people dead in one of the deadliest raids the city has seen recently and one already bringing more criticism of police violence.
Rio authorities said 16 suspected criminals were killed in confrontations with police in Complexo do Alemao along with a police officer and an woman. A police spokesman said the raid targeted a criminal group that stole cars and robbed banks, and invaded nearby neighborhoods.
Videos circulating on social media showed intense shootouts between criminals as well as a police helicopter flying low over the small, brick houses. Rio´s police have used helicopters to shoot at targets, even in densely populated residential areas, and video showed shots being fired from the favela at the aircraft.
At the site of the raid, Associated Press reporters saw residents carrying about 10 bodies as bystanders shouted, "We want peace!" Residents said those who attempted to help the injured risked arrest.
"It´s a massacre inside, which police are calling an operation," one woman told AP, speaking on the condition of anonymity because she feared reprisals from authorities. "They´re not letting us help (victims)," she added, saying she saw one man arrested for attempting to do so.

New York reports 1st US polio case in nearly a decade
NEW YORK (AP) - An unvaccinated young adult from New York recently contracted polio, the first U.S. case in nearly a decade, health officials said Thursday.
Officials said the patient, who lives in Rockland County, had developed paralysis. The person developed symptoms a month ago and did not recently travel outside the country, county health officials said.
It appears the patient had a vaccine-derived strain of the virus, perhaps from someone who got live vaccine - available in other countries, but not the U.S. - and spread it, officials said.
The person is no longer deemed contagious, but investigators are trying to figure out how the infection occurred and whether other people were exposed to the virus.
Most Americans are vaccinated against polio, but this should serve as a wake-up call to the unvaccinated, said Jennifer Nuzzo, a Brown University pandemic researcher.

Drought drives Las Vegas to cap size of home swimming pools
LAS VEGAS (AP) - Limiting the size of new swimming pools in and around Las Vegas might save a drop in the proverbial bucket amid historic drought and climate change in the West.
Officials are taking the plunge anyway, capping the size of new swimming pools at single-family residential homes to about the size of a three-car garage.
Citing worries about dwindling drinking water allocations from the drying-up Lake Mead reservoir on the depleted Colorado River, officials in Clark County voted this week to limit the size of new swimming pools to 600 square feet (56 square meters) of surface area.
"Having a pool in Las Vegas is like having a second car. It´s that common," said Kevin Kraft, owner of a family custom pool design company that has been in business since 1942.
Clark County figures show there are about 200,000 residential swimming pools in the area of 2.4 million people. Another 1,300 are added annually. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-11038199/AP-News-Brief-12-04-m-EDT.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-07-22T05:16:49Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-11038199/AP-News-Brief-12-04-m-EDT.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false |
Quick Response Team (QRT) leader Larrecsa Barker, right, talks with Cabell County EMTs during a Wellness Wednesday event hosted by the QRT on June 1 at Cabell County EMS Station No. 9 in Huntington.
HUNTINGTON — Leaders from across the country visited the area this week to learn skills from Huntington’s Quick Response Team that they will integrate into their own communities.
The Quick Response Team was one of seven groups selected as national mentor sites for the Bureau of Justice Assistance through the Department of Justice in 2019, but program visits were put on hold for two years due to COVID-19.
This week’s visit — made by visitors from Cumberland County, New Jersey, and The Center for Health and Justice’s Comprehensive Opioid, Stimulant and Substance Abuse Program — was the first in the country for a program with a goal to link communities with established and successful first responder diversion programs.
Visitors included Comprehensive Opioid, Stimulant and Substance Abuse Program project lead Hope Firi and coordinator Jacob Wells, as well as Matthew Rudd, a Community Justice coordinator; David Chance, EMS supervisor for the City of Bridgeton, New Jersey, Fire Department; and Karen Merino-Montano, of Cumberland County Human Services Capital Recovery Center.
The visitors will take what they learned back to their communities to integrate it in their response to the opioid crisis.
Connie Priddy, program coordinator of the Huntington Quick Response Team, said the group is on the cutting edge with its innovative model. Priddy went to Washington, D.C., to assist in developing national standards for similar programs across the nation.
Huntington’s Quick Response Team, which works under Cabell County EMS, is a boots-on-the-ground team that uses EMS data and outside referrals to personally visit people who experienced an overdose event within days of the event to attempt to get them into substance use recovery.
The team consists of a paramedic, a police officer, behavioral health peer, faith leader and others.
The Quick Response Team has expanded its services in recent years to include providing COVID-19 and flu vaccines, naloxone training, HIV testing, distribution of fentanyl test strips and more.

Whether agriculture in Ireland faces a 22% emissions-reduction target or a 30% target is “irrelevant” as we don’t have the “solutions” available to reach those targets currently.
That’s according to head of the Animal and Grassland Research and Innovation programme at Teagasc, Laurence Shalloo who was speaking at the Irish Grassland Association (IGA) conference in Co. Tipperary this week.
He highlighted the importance of using technologies currently available to farmers to reduce emissions from agriculture, a topic which is under the spotlight at the moment as government ministers try to agree a target for agriculture.
Technologies and emissions
There are a number of technologies available to farmers that can reduce emissions on farms but Shalloo told the conference that to encourage uptake of these technologies, “we need to firstly become award of the impact of the decisions”.
“We need to become aware of the impact of switching the chemical nitrogen (N) type we are using.
“There is very little difference is price for a urea-based fertiliser compared to a [calcium ammonium nitrate] CAN-based fertiliser. But the impact on emissions from your farm is pretty dramatic.
“We need to do what we can with the technology we have available to us,” he added.
Other technologies that farmers need to look at are clover swards, low emission slurry spreading (LESS) and breeding, according to the Teagasc expert.
“You might not think that Friesian male cattle finishing two months later than prime beef cattle is important to you, but it is,” he explained.
“It is important to you and the agricultural industry as a whole.
“We [Teagasc] need to find solutions to ensure that emission targets are met in 2030. There is a significant amount of investment being made in technologies to get us there, but we are not all the way there.
“Whether it is 22% or 30% is almost irrelevant, because we don’t have the solutions to bring us to that point currently,” he explained. | https://www.agriland.ie/farming-news/we-need-to-use-the-technologys-available-to-us-shalloo/ | 2022-07-22T05:19:50Z | https://www.agriland.ie/farming-news/we-need-to-use-the-technologys-available-to-us-shalloo/ | true |
Ukraine war rekindles Europe's demand for African oil and gas
By Noah Browning, Ron Bousso and Wendell Roelf
BRUSSELS/LONDON/CAPE TOWN, July 22 (Reuters) - Europe's thirst for oil and gas to replace sanctioned Russian supply is reviving interest in African energy projects that were shunned due to costs and climate change concerns, industry executives and African officials said.
Energy firms are considering projects worth a total of $100 billion on the continent, according to Reuters calculations based on public and private company estimates.
African countries that currently have little or no oil and gas output could see billions in energy investments in the coming years, including Namibia, South Africa, Uganda, Kenya, Mozambique and Tanzania.
Namibia alone could provide around half a million barrels per day in new oil production, following promising exploratory wells in recent months, according to unpublished estimates by two industry consultants.
Africa as a whole could replace as much as one-fifth of Russian gas exports to Europe by 2030, based on estimates by the International Energy Agency (IEA). The Paris-based watchdog said an additional 30 billion cubic metres (bcm) of African gas a year could flow to Europe by then.
"As the world seeks to replace Russian oil and gas volumes ... the industry is now focusing on the advantaged barrels Africa has to offer," said Gil Holzman, CEO of Canadian oil explorer Eco Atlantic Oil & Gas, which holds interests in oil licenses in nearly 30,000 square kilometers offshore Namibia.
"The majors have been building larger positions ... competitively bidding for exploration, development and production acreage," he told Reuters by e-mail, citing activity in the oil basins off Namibia and South Africa.
European sanctions on Russian oil supply and reduced gas flows have sent prices soaring and driven up inflation to 40-year records in some countries. Benchmark Brent crude in March reached near a 15-year high of $139 a barrel.
Investment in African energy has yet to recover from a plunge in oil and gas prices in 2014, the IEA said in a June report, highlighting Africa's potential to ease the supply crunch. Global oil output is set to rise from the pandemic but is then forecast to ebb in the late 2020s, it said.
"We are in the middle of the first truly global energy crisis and we have to find solutions to replace the loss of Russian oil and gas," IEA executive director Fatih Birol told Reuters in an interview in June.
The IEA shocked the oil industry last year by envisioning no investment in new fossil fuel projects in order to meet net zero emissions goals by mid-century.
Companies and countries eyeing oil and gas investments in Africa are aware they must move fast to profit from untapped reserves before the global transition to low carbon technology renders many fossil fuel projects unviable, the executives and officials said, as domestic fuel and power demand also rises.
Last month, Tanzania signed a liquified natural gas (LNG) framework agreement with Norwegian state energy giant Equinor and Anglo-Dutch oil major Shell that accelerates development of a $30 billion export terminal.
Patrick Pouyanne, CEO of French oil giant TotalEnergies , said on a visit to Mozambique's capital Maputo in January that, if security improves, the company aimed to restart a $20 billion LNG project this year that was halted by militancy.
Pouyanne said in May that TotalEnergies needed to make up for declining output and sanctioned Russian supply and was speeding up activity in Namibia, a promising oil frontier.
"Now there is a lot of activity to try to force forward these projects," said Gonçalo Falcão of global law firm Mayer Brown, which advises firms in the African energy space, citing East African gas projects worth tens of billions of dollars. "There is clearly a sense of opportunity to reinforce them."
BIRTH OF VENUS
For new African oil, nowhere looms larger than Namibia.
Not yet a producer, Namibia has had top companies sifting through geographical data and probing its waters for decades until Shell hit in February an "encouraging" supply of light oil - the kind coveted to produce scarce gasoline and diesel.
Nearly two months into the Ukraine crisis, with oil prices near record levels, Shell launched a "back-to-back" exploration well at the site - meaning one well immediately following another - for the first time in the company's nearly 150-year history, according to two industry sources, who declined to be named as exploration continues.
Shell said the quick progress followed the "promising" results of the first well but cautioned in a statement to Reuters that, due to its climate commitments, it would only advance projects "with a credible path to early development ... (that are) resilient and competitive in low- as well as high-price scenarios."
TotalEnergies completed an exploration well in the nearby Venus prospect in March, which it called "significant", with a more advanced appraisal well due in the third quarter.
On Namibia, TotalEnergies told Reuters it will "still have to determine if the volumes are commercially recoverable ... (but) investments remain necessary to satisfy demand".
A senior Shell official, speaking to Reuters on condition of anonymity, estimated it will take around $11 billion to develop the two companies' blocs.
The discoveries could lead to oil production of around half a million barrels per day, according to projections by data firm IHS Markit and estimates from natural resources consultancy Wood Mackenzie shared with Reuters. Both firms cautioned the forecasts were preliminary.
Maggy Shino, petroleum commissioner at the Ministry of Mines and Energy told Reuters time may be running out as the global transition to clean energy looms: "There is a possibility for Namibia to be the last African giant."
"In the wake of the success in drilling off Namibia comes the Ukraine and Russian war ... what we are seeing (is) that currently more companies are looking to invest in Namibia in the search for hydrocarbons," she said, adding the country hopes to begin production from the Shell project by 2026.
STILL CONTENDERS
The efforts are an echo of the initial decades of the post-colonial era when European governments and energy majors like Total, Shell and Eni worked in closer tandem to put Arab North Africa and a gaggle of Sub-Saharan states on the energy map.
Renewed European thirst for gas looks set to help push African output to a peak of nearly 500 billion cubic meters by the late 2030s, according to consultancy Rystad, up from 260 bcm in 2022.
Less sanguine, the IEA projects a peak of natural gas output in its "sustainable Africa scenario" under 300 bcm in 2024. It forecasts oil output will peak this decade at around 6 million bpd of oil in 2022 - down from over 10 million in 2010, indicating a longer life span for gas projects than oil.
More than half of Italian oil major ENI's production comes from Africa and over half its investment in the last four years was there. Its drive to boost output there since the oil price rise sparked by the Ukraine war has dovetailed with initiatives by Rome.
Eni CEO Claudio Descalzi together with senior government delegations travelled to Algeria, Gabon and Angola in April and inked agreements to boost exports to Europe.
"Africa now has a huge opportunity. Following the recent crisis in Ukraine, the global context of the energy markets and supply were radically changed -- not for a matter or years but for decades," Eni's Chief Exploration Officer Luca Bertelli told the Africa Energies Summit in London in May. "Momentum should be captured now".
Top European gas importer Germany stepped up efforts to court Senegal with a state visit by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in May, offering help to tap vast gas resources, though no concrete project was agreed.
"The first thing Germany and Europe can do is buy our gas," said Abd Esselam Ould Mohamed Salah, ministry of petroleum, mines and energy of Mauritania - which shares a vast gas field with neighboring Senegal that is due online next year.
"We welcome the increased interest we are seeing from European countries and companies in developing our resources, which is in our mutual interest," he told Reuters, citing sales of offshore exploration blocs.

The Jharkhand man arrested for cheating the Parel resident had duped him in 2021, too, with the same modus operandi, but stopped when a police complaint was registered
When the victim’s father went to the bank, he was shocked to find lakhs had been transferred from his account. Representation pic
A Mumbai man lost over Rs 24 lakh when he was honeytrapped over Facebook. The Central region cyber police recently arrested a man named Sayyad Saif Ahmed, 33, from Jharkhand, for allegedly duping him. Interestingly, Ahmed has confessed to the police that he had cheated the victim in the same manner in 2021 to the tune of nearly Rs 8 lakh! So in all the victim was cheated of nearly Rs 32 lakh by him.
Ahmed was brought to Mumbai on Thursday. The police said he created a Facebook account in the name Sana Khan, befriended the victim and duped him into paying him over a false promise of marriage. In 2021, the victim had lost Rs 7-R8 lakh after another ‘woman’ called Sofia befriended him on FB. However, after a complaint was lodged with the local police station, the matter stopped there. The police could not track him then.

‘He wanted a bride’
In January, the 31-year-old victim, a resident of Parel, received a Facebook request from Sana Khan. He was employed with a private firm and looking for a bride, but couldn’t get one and was upset, said the police. Ahmed lured the victim into a trap with sweet talk and began to demand money, sometimes on the pretext of marriage, or in the name of mother’s illness, even in the name of buying beauty products. Whenever the victim asked for more of her pictures, ‘Sana’ would send pictures of body parts telling him “we are anyways getting married, then you will be able to see me”. This is what the victim has said in his statement to the police.
Also spent father’s money
The victim not only shelled out lakhs of rupees from his bank account, but also from his father’s account. In three months, he ended up transferring Rs 24.67 lakh into multiple accounts as asked by ‘Sana’. In the last week of March, when his father went to the bank, he was shocked to find lakhs of rupees had been transferred from his account without his knowledge.
He immediately lodged a complaint with the cyber police who froze the bank accounts. The police suspected his son, but the victim denied it. But when the police took him into confidence he confessed that he had transferred the money, said an officer. After going through the call data records and the bank details, the central cyber police zeroed in on Ahmed who was picked up from Jamshedpur in Jharkhand. He was produced before the court on Thursday which remanded him in five days’ police custody.
Ahmed, a BCom graduate, allegedly learnt how to go about the fraud from his friend and spent most of the money in online betting and rummy. “Strangely, the victim still thinks that Sana is a real woman and will marry him soon,” said a police officer. During investigation, the accused has confessed to duping the victim with the same modus operandi in 2021. “He said that then he befriended the victim posing as Sofia on Facebook. After a case was registered, he started an account in the name of Sana Khan and sent a friend request to the victim,” said Rajesh Nagawade, senior inspector, Central Region cyber police station. | https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-news/article/honeytrapped-mumbai-man-loses-almost-rs-32-lakh-to-facebook-friend-23237120 | 2022-07-22T05:26:20Z | https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-news/article/honeytrapped-mumbai-man-loses-almost-rs-32-lakh-to-facebook-friend-23237120 | true |
Officers are also looking into their own personnel who are helping the agents build unauthorised houses
Agent Murtaza also runs Bajrang Flour Mill Shop at Gokul Nagar in Kandivli East
Sanjay Gandhi National Park forest department has swung into action following mid-day’s reports on agents selling forest land and constructing houses there. One agent, Murtaza, who was mentioned in mid-day’s investigative report on July 19 has been detained from Gokul Nagar in Kandivli East on Thursday.
SGNP forest officers have launched a hunt for these agents and also stated that most of the agents do not have the licence required to sell houses. Officers are also looking into their own personnel who are helping the agents build unauthorised houses.
Range Forest Officer Dinesh Desale said, “We have detained a person identified as Murtaza from his Bajrang Flour Mill Shop at Gokul Nagar in Kandivli East on Thursday late evening, after mid-day published the story. We are also searching for other agents involved in this racket. We are questioning him and are on the lookout for his partners.”

As part of the investigation, this correspondent had approached Murtaza under the guise of buying a house on forest land. Murtaza, in turn, had sent his accomplices named Madhav and Amannath Sharma to show the land and houses. They had agreed to sell a hut on SGNP land for Rs 50,000 and also assured they would bribe forest officers if they came to demolish the structure. | https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-news/article/mumbai-sanjay-gandhi-national-park-forest-officers-detain-agent-who-sells-forest-land-23237110 | 2022-07-22T05:27:27Z | https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-news/article/mumbai-sanjay-gandhi-national-park-forest-officers-detain-agent-who-sells-forest-land-23237110 | true |
Black family rejoices as '$75m' LA beachfront plot is returned to them, 98 years after it was seized from their ancestors by city officials following racist pressure campaign
- The land was bought by Charles and Willa Bruce in 1912 who turned it into a resort for black families known as 'Bruce's Beach'
- It was taken from the family by the local government in a forced transaction that officials in 2022 have conceded was motivated by racism
- In a vote in June, the county voted 5-0 in favor of returning the land to the descendants of the Bruce family
- On Wednesday, the handover was formalized as the Bruce family were presented with the lease at a ceremony celebrating their ancestors
- The county will lease the land from the family for two years at a cost of $413,000 and have an option to purchase for $20 million
- But that has been criticized as an under-valuation, with other estimates claiming the land is actually worth $75 million
- It's not clear what the Bruce family intends to do with the land in the long term
A black family told of their joy after a $75 million plot of beachfront land was returned to them by LA officials 98 years after it was seized from their ancestors.
Video from Bruce's Beach handover ceremony Wednesday showed Anthony Bruce, holding the deed aloft after it was handed over by LA County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk Dean Logan.
His great-great grandparents Willa and Charles Bruce bought the Manhattan Beach plot in 1912, only to have it improperly seized by the city in 1924 after a racist pressure campaign.
Anthony said in a speech: 'It's surreal, and it's almost like being transported to the other side of the known universe.'
He added: 'I want to remain level-headed about the entire thing. I want to make sure I don't lose focus as to what Charles and Willa's dream was. The dream was to just have an America where they could thrive and have their American business thrive.'
He concluded: 'Without God, we would not be here today. And finally, thank you all. God bless.'
The Bruces, bought the land in 1912 and built a resort for black families that became known as Bruce's Beach.
The resort thrived despite racist pressure from neighbors, local government and an attack from the Ku Klux Klan in 1920.
But in 1924, the family was forced out when the City of Manhattan Beach used eminent domain to seize the land under the pretense of turning it into a public park that was never built.
Following the transfer, the family will lease the land back to the county at a cost of $413,000 per year. The piece of land is located at Highland Avenue and 26th Street.
LA officials have the option to buy the land back for $20 million if the Bruces agree, although some critics say this is an undervaluation - and that the plot is actually worth $75 million.

The Los Angeles beachfront property 'Bruce's Beach's is being returned to the descendants of resort owners after it was taken from them due to racist policies
Speaking to NBC Los Angeles, Derrick Bruce, the great-grandson of the original owners said: ' We are a family that was dispossessed.
He continued: 'Anyone who knows how hard it is to become dispossessed, that in itself is a grave puncture, a grave wounding. That's what our family have gone through. A grave wounding.'
Derrick continued: 'In a way, it does feel like justice. The hardship that our family went through, went through generations. It just echoed and reverberated without us knowing why.'
County Supervisor Janice Hahn told the audience: 'Today, we are sending a message to every government in this nation confronted with this same challenge. This work is no longer unprecedented.'
On June 28, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously on Tuesday to return Bruce's Beach to its rightful owners.
The move marked one of the biggest cases of land reparations in US history.
The land is now owned by brothers Marcus and Derrick as well as Derrick's sons, Anthony and Michael.
In a statement regarding the vote in June, County Chair Holly Mitchell said that the Bruce family were 'robbed of their property and generational wealth due to unjust laws and practices rooted in systemic racism.'
The board heard that Anthony will maintain the property along with his father through an LLC that the family has formed.

Willa and Charles Bruce brought the property in 1912 during the early 20th century after moving from New Mexico with their son Harvey
According to documents, the land will be leased back to the county for two years from the Bruce family. The family will received $413,000 in rent. After the two year lease is up, the Bruce family is free to do whatever they please with the land.
The new motion also has a clause allowing the country to buy back the land from the Bruce family for $20 million.
In February 2022, the Los Angeles Times quoted that the estimated price of the land parcels that belonged to the Bruce family were now worth an estimated $75 million.
According to the motion, the $20 million price tag was 'confirmed by appraisals to be equivalent to or less than the fair market value.'
Mitchell rejected the notion that the county was 'giving' the property to the family. She said: 'We are returning property that was erroneously, and based on fear and hate, taken from them.'
The area of land in affluent Manhattan Beach on the outskirts of Los Angeles was a 'refuge for Black families who came from across the state when racist laws wouldn’t allow for any other safe beach going options,' Mitchell said in her statement.
While County Supervisor Janice Hahn said: 'We can't change the past and we will never be able to make up for the injustice that was done to Willa and Charles Bruce a century ago, but this is a start.'

Anthony Bruce, the great great grandson of Willa and Charles Bruce is all smiles as Governor Gavin Newsom signs SB 796, a bill allowing the return Manhattan Beach land to descendants of its original owners
Instead of continuing to run a thriving resort on prime beachfront land, they ended up as chefs serving other business owners for the remainder of their lives
Hahn said in her statement that Tuesday's vote will give the Bruce family the chance 'to start rebuilding the generational wealth that was denied to them.'
The plot currently serves as a grassy park and lifeguard training facility.
Average property prices in Manhattan Beach run to $2.9 million, with the area sitting south of Santa Monica Bay.
In September 2021, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill 796 into law. This removed any restrictions in returning the law of the board of supervisors voted to do so.
Also that month the city of Manhattan Beach issued a statement acknowledging and condemning its city's actions from the early 20th century - but the statement stopped short of a formal apology.
'We offer this Acknowledgement and Condemnation as a foundational act for Manhattan Beach's next one hundred years,' a document approved by the council says.
'And the actions we will take together, to the best of our abilities, in deeds and in words, to reject prejudice and hate and promote respect and inclusion.'
In signing Senate Bill 796, Newsom offered a formal apology to the Bruce family.
He said: 'As governor of California, let me do what apparently Manhattan Beach is unwilling to do: I want to apologize to the Bruce family.'
The governor added: 'What we're doing here today can be done and replicated anywhere else. There's an old adage: Once a mind is stretched, it never goes back to its original form.'
Anthony Bruce, a security supervisor who lives in Florida, said his family had been tormented by the seizure of their rightful property for generations.
Charles and Willa contested the eminent domain order and lost; the city paid them $14,500, and they left their beach and lost their business.
Instead of continuing to run a thriving resort on prime beachfront land, they ended up as chefs serving other business owners for the remainder of their lives.
Bruce's Beach was a popular destination for black families in the early 20th century who were looking to go on a vacation without the stress of racial tensions
The resort featured a lodge, café, dance hall and dressing tents with bathing suits for rent
Bruce's grandfather Bernard, born a few years after his family had been run out of town, was obsessed with what happened and lived his life 'extremely angry at the world,' he said.
Bruce's father was unable to bear living in California and moved away from the state.
'I was five years old when my father told me that my great-great-grandparents' business on a beautiful stretch of Manhattan Beach had been taken away from them decades earlier,' wrote Bruce, in an op ed in The Los Angeles Times, published on Thursday.
'It was a shocking and disturbing revelation for me as a young boy.'
'When I was growing up, my father took us to Bruce's beach,' Anthony said in an April interview with BNC News.
'It wasn't called that back then, it was called another name and he said 'all this land is yours. I want you to know that this is your inheritance and you're going to have to fight for it. As it stands its not ours, but as it is its our legacy.''
The case was championed by Kavon Ward, an activist who learnt about the land's history and founded Justice for Bruce's Beach.
'This country always likes to say: 'You can make it. Just pull yourself up by your bootstraps,'' she said.
'These people were doing that, and they were building community and spreading the wealth within the community and enhancing other black people, and it was all stripped away.'
Anthony Bruce said in the op ed: 'I'll never know if my family's business would have grown to rival that of Hilton or Marriott, both of which were founded around the same time as Bruce's Beach and grew from equally humble beginnings.
'I have plans to one day soon return to my family's land. When I go back to that stretch of Manhattan Beach, I won't think only of the injustice done to my ancestors. I'll also think of the progress our country has made.'
Last September 2021, Newsom apologized for the generations of harm done to the Bruce family
The property along the south shore of Santa Monica Bay encompasses two parcels purchased in 1912 by Willa and Charles Bruce, who built the first West Coast resort for black people at a time when segregation barred them from many beaches.
It included a lodge, cafe, dance hall and dressing tents.
The land lay unused for years, however, and was transferred to the state in 1948.
In 1995, it was transferred to Los Angeles County for beach operations. It came with restrictions limiting the ability to sell or transfer the property, which could only be lifted through a new state law.
The county's lifeguard training headquarters building sits there now, along a scenic beach walkway called The Strand that is lined with luxury homes overlooking the beach.
In Manhattan Beach, an upscale Los Angeles seaside suburb, the population of 35,000 is more than 84 per cent white and 0.8 per cent black, the city website says.
In 2021, the city council formally condemned the efforts of their early 20th century predecessors to displace the Bruces and several other Black families.
Should the Bruce family decide to sell the property, Senate bill 796's wording would exempt them from a documentary transfer tax, and would shield profits made from the land's scale from taxation.
'Plans for the property... [are] personal and between us, the attorneys, and the County of Los Angeles,' said Duane Shepard, a cousin of the direct descendants of the property and a long-standing spokesman for the reacquisition of the beach. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11038133/Black-family-rejoices-75m-LA-beachfront-plot-returned-98-years.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-07-22T05:28:32Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11038133/Black-family-rejoices-75m-LA-beachfront-plot-returned-98-years.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false |
Women have right to safe abortion: Supreme Court
It is part of personal liberty, says Bench while hearing unmarried woman’s plea on July 21
Denying an unmarried woman the right to a safe abortion violates her personal autonomy and freedom, the Supreme Court held in an order on Thursday.
A Bench led by Justice D.Y. Chandrachud was hearing the appeal of a woman who wanted to abort after her relationship failed and her partner left her.
The lower court had taken an "unduly restrictive view" that her plea for a safe abortion was not covered under the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act as the pregnancy arose from a consensual relationship outside wedlock.
Chastising the lower court, the Bench said live-in relationships had already been recognised by the Supreme Court. There were a significant number of people in social mainstream who see no wrong in engaging in pre-marital sex. The law could not be used to quench "notions of social morality" and unduly interfere in their personal autonomy and bodily integrity.
2021 amendment
The court noted that an amendment to the Act in 2021 had substituted the term ‘husband’ with ‘partner’, a clear signal that the law covered unmarried women within its ambit.
“A woman’s right to reproductive choice is an inseparable part of her personal liberty under Article 21 of Constitution. She has a sacrosanct right to bodily integrity....There is no doubt that a woman’s right to make reproductive choices is also a dimension of ‘personal liberty’,” the Supreme Court quoted from precedents.
The court said forcing a woman to continue with her pregnancy would not only be a violation of her bodily integrity but also aggravate her mental trauma.
The court ordered a medical board to be formed by the AIIMS to check whether it was safe to conduct an abortion on the woman and submit a report in a week.
The Bench posted the case for August 2.

Ronaldo Oliveira, an investigator with Rio’s police force, said officials would have rather just made arrests of suspects "but unfortunately they chose to fire at our policemen.”
Rio state Gov. Cláudio Castro, who is running for reelection in October, said on Twitter he lamented the police officer’s death.
“I will continue to fight crime with all my strength. We will not back down from the mission of guaranteeing peace and security to the people of our state,” Castro said.
In another tweet, Castro said his main rival in the elections, leftist Marcelo Freixo, defends criminals who attack police, “such an important institution that makes us so proud.” Freixo responded that the governor “uses police to make politics.”
The government’s strategy for tackling violence and organized crime, an approach that regularly sees deadly police operations, has come under criticism. A raid in Rio’s Vila Cruzeiro favela in May killed more than 20 people.
Brazil will also hold presidential elections in October with security a key issue and President Jair Bolsonaro touting a tough-on-crime approach.
“ENOUGH of this genocidal policy, governor!” Talíria Petrone, a federal lawmaker for Rio, said in response to the governor’s tweet. “This failed public security policy leaves residents and police on the ground, en masse. It’s no longer possible to keep piling up Black bodies and favela residents every day!”
Robert Muggah, co-founder of Igarapé Institute, a Rio de Janeiro-based think tank focused on security, said Thursday’s raid is “a symptom of failed leadership and an institutional culture that condones excessive force.”
“The killings resulting from large scale police operations is a grim reminder that militarized policing is not only ineffective, it is counterproductive,” Muggah said in a text message, adding those raids generate “extreme violence predominantly affecting low-income Black populations while also corroding the trust between residents and law enforcement.”
Alemao is a complex of 13 favelas in northern Rio, home to about 70,000 people. Nearly three-quarters of them at Black or biracial, according to a July 2020 study published by the Brazilian Institute of Social and Economical Analyses.
Earlier this year, Brazil’s Supreme Court established a series of conditions for police to conduct raids in Rio’s favelas as a means to reduce police killings and human rights violations. The court ordered that lethal force be used only in situations in which all other means have been exhausted and when necessary to protect life.
The ruling came in response to a raid on the Jacarezinho favela in 2021 that resulted in 28 people being killed. As was the case Thursday, an officer died during that raid, which some speculated at the time was the cause for subsequent abuse and summary executions.
Thursday’s operation began before dawn and finished around 4 p.m. local time, police said. Nearly 400 police officers were involved, including Rio’s tactical police unit, according to the police statement.
In a video shared by Voz da Comunidade, a community news outlet focused on Rio’s favelas, residents can be seen calling for peace and waving white cloths from their windows and rooftops.
Fabrício Oliveira, one of the coordinators of the police raid, said authorities fear that Friday could be another violent day at the Complexo do Alemao.
“Our experience has told us that after raids like these police are attacked in every way,” Oliveira said.
Human rights group Amnesty International said on Twitter that prosecutors must immediately investigate policemen involved in Thursday’s raid.
“WHO WILL STOP Gov. Cláudio Castro and his disastrous and rights violating public security policies in Rio de Janeiro,” the non-profit said. “Enough of so much brutality! THE FAVELA WANTS TO LIVE!”

COVID-19 cases are on the rise in South Carolina. Here's what you need to know.
COVID-19 cases are surging in South Carolina as a highly infectious new variant, BA.5, tightens its grip on communities statewide.
Cases spiked by over 15% between June and July and continue to rise: the Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) recorded 13,772 new cases between July 9 and July 16, a 4% increase compared to the week before. Pickens, Dorchester, Newberry, Kershaw and Greenville are the counties reporting the highest case rates.
We asked DHEC about this trend, how South Carolinians can stay up-to-date on the status of the pandemic and what steps we can take to avoid getting sick.

How often does DHEC update its COVID-19 dashboard?
Since March 2022, DHEC has been updating its COVID-19 dashboard on a weekly basis. Check for new data every Tuesday, when the dashboard is refreshed with numbers from Sunday through Saturday of the previous week.
Should we expect more frequent updates, given the rise in cases?
DHEC does not plan on increasing the frequency of its reporting.
“A few additional days’ worth of data doesn’t change the public health actions residents should be taking: wearing masks in accordance with the CDC's COVID-19 Community Levels map, getting fully vaccinated and boostered as recommended, and staying home when sick,” said a spokesperson for the department.
How is DHEC collecting information on cases? What about testing at home?
Because the increased availability of nonreportable at-home COVID-19 tests has made data on the total number of cases less reliable, DHEC focuses its data collection efforts on severe cases that result in hospitalizations and deaths.
“These numbers provide a more accurate depiction of how COVID-19 is impacting communities,” said a department spokesperson.

Will South Carolina open more testing sites?
No. Since April 2022, DHEC has operated PCR testing sites only in counties where it is the sole provider of those tests. However, there are numerous testing sites available statewide.
What is the most accurate, up-to-date picture of COVID-19 data for South Carolina?
As cases rise nationwide, DHEC’s weekly updates to its COVID-19 dashboard provide the most up-to-date look at the pandemic in South Carolina.
What can I do to avoid getting sick?
“If South Carolinians and the rest of the nation monitor COVID community levels and when indicated limit their exposure to people outside of their homes and normal circles, mask up when recommended, and stay up to date on their vaccination and boosters, that will go a long way in preventing COVID-19 spread,” said a DHEC spokesperson. “But if we see vacationing and public gatherings without masking as community levels increase, and less preventative measures are being taken, we can expect cases to continue to increase.” | https://www.greenvilleonline.com/story/news/local/south-carolina/2022/07/22/covid-19-south-carolina-what-know-new-variant-cases/10116155002/ | 2022-07-22T05:48:10Z | https://www.greenvilleonline.com/story/news/local/south-carolina/2022/07/22/covid-19-south-carolina-what-know-new-variant-cases/10116155002/ | false |
Monkeypox virus could become entrenched as new STD in US
NEW YORK (AP) — The spread of monkeypox in the U.S. could represent the dawn of a new sexually transmitted disease, though some health officials say the virus that causes pimple-like bumps might yet be contained before it gets firmly established.
Experts don’t agree on the likely path of the disease, with some fearing that it is becoming so widespread that it is on the verge of becoming an entrenched STD — like gonorrhea, herpes and HIV.
But no one’s really sure, and some say testing and vaccines can still stop the outbreak from taking root.
So far, more than 2,400 U.S. cases have been reported as part of an international outbreak that emerged two months ago.
Health officials are not sure how fast the virus has spread. They have only limited information about people who have been diagnosed, and they don’t know how many infected people might be spreading it unknowingly.
They also don’t know how well vaccines and treatments are working. One impediment: Federal health officials do not have the authority to collect and connect data on who has been infected and who has been vaccinated.
With such huge question marks, predictions about how big the U.S. outbreak will get this summer vary widely, from 13,000 to perhaps more than 10 times that number.
Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said the government’s response is growing stronger every day and vaccine supplies will soon surge.
“I think we still have an opportunity to contain this,” Walensky told The Associated Press.
Monkeypox is endemic in parts of Africa, where people have been infected through bites from rodents or small animals. It does not usually spread easily among people.
But this year more than 15,000 cases have been reported in countries that historically don’t see the disease. In the U.S. and Europe, the vast majority of infections have happened in men who have sex with men, though health officials have stressed that anyone can catch the virus.
It spreads mainly through skin-to-skin contact, but it can also be transmitted through linens used by someone with monkeypox. Although it’s been moving through the population like a sexually transmitted disease, officials have been watching for other types of spread that could expand the outbreak.
Symptoms include fever, body aches, chills, fatigue and the bumps on parts of the body. The illness has been relatively mild in many men, and no one has died in the U.S. But people can be contagious for weeks, and the lesions can be extremely painful.
When monkeypox emerged, there was reason to believe that public health officials could control it.
The tell-tale bumps should have made infections easy to identify. And because the virus spreads through close personal contact, officials thought they could reliably trace its spread by interviewing infected people and asking who they had been intimate with.
It didn’t turn out to be that easy.
With monkeypox so rare in the U.S., many infected men — and their doctors — may have attributed their rashes to some other cause.
Contact tracing was often stymied by infected men who said they did not know the names of all the people they had sex with. Some reported having multiple sexual interactions with strangers.
It didn’t help that local health departments, already burdened with COVID-19 and scores of other diseases, now had to find the resources to do intensive contact-tracing work on monkeypox, too.
Indeed, some local health officials have given up expecting much from contact tracing.
There was another reason to be optimistic: The U.S. government already had a vaccine. The two-dose regimen called Jynneos was licensed in the U.S. in 2019 and recommended last year as a tool against monkeypox.
When the outbreak was first identified in May, U.S. officials had only about 2,000 doses available. The government distributed them but limited the shots to people who were identified through public health investigations as being recently exposed to the virus.
Late last month, as more doses became available, the CDC began recommending that shots be offered to those who realize on their own that they could have been infected.
Demand has exceeded supply, with clinics in some cities rapidly running out of vaccine doses and health officials across the country saying said they don’t have enough.
That’s changing, Walensky said. As of this week, the government has distributed more than 191,000 doses, and it has 160,000 more ready to send. As many as 780,000 doses will become available as early as next week.
Once current demand is satisfied, the government will look at expanding vaccination efforts.
The CDC believes that 1.5 million U.S. men are considered at high risk for the infection.
Testing has also expanded. More than 70,000 people can be tested each week, far more than current demand, Walensky said. The government has also embarked on a campaign to educate doctors and gay and bisexual men about the disease, she added.
Donal Bisanzio, a researcher at RTI International, believes U.S. health officials will be able to contain the outbreak before it becomes endemic.
But he also said that won’t be the end of it. New bursts of cases will probably emerge as Americans become infected by people in other countries where monkeypox keeps circulating.
Walensky agrees that such a scenario is likely. “If it’s not contained all over the world, we are always at risk of having flare-ups” from travelers, she said.
Shawn Kiernan, of the Fairfax County Health Department in Virginia, said there is reason to be tentatively optimistic because so far the outbreak is concentrated in one group of people — men who have sex with men.
Spread of the virus into heterosexual people would be a “tipping point” that may occur before it’s widely recognized, said Kiernan, chief of the department’s communicable disease section.
Spillover into heterosexuals is just a matter of time, said Dr. Edward Hook III, emeritus professor of infectious diseases at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
If monkeypox becomes an endemic sexually transmitted disease, it will be yet another challenge for health departments and doctors already struggling to keep up with existing STDs.
Such work has long been underfunded and understaffed, and a lot of it was simply put on hold during the pandemic. Kiernan said HIV and syphilis were prioritized, but work on common infections like chlamydia and gonorrhea amounted to “counting cases and that’s about it.”
For years, gonorrhea, chlamydia and syphilis cases have been rising.
“By and large,” Hook said, doctors “do a crummy job of taking sexual histories, of inquiring about and acknowledging their patients are sexual beings.”

Sunderland port: Norwegian rock to strengthen sea defences
- Published
Thousands of tonnes of rock have been shipped from Norway to strengthen Sunderland's sea defences.
The granite boulders will be used to protect Stonehill Wall and Hendon Foreshore Barrier at the city's port.
More than 20,000 tonnes were shipped across the North Sea from the town of Larvik, in south-west Norway.
It is part of a £3m programme to strengthen and protect the Port of Sunderland against sea erosion and damage.
Almost 400m (1,200ft) of new rock armour revetment will be used, according to Sunderland City Council which operates the port.
Norwegian rock is regularly used in UK sea defences due to its "strength, durability and cost-effective shipping", the council added.
It took six days to ship the boulders over to the North East and they arrived on Monday on board the Stema II Barge.
They are being unloaded at Greenwell's Quay where they will be stored until they are taken to their final destination
The boulders will be placed in front of the exiting sea walls to form a rock revetment, which is an inclined rock embankment that dissipates wave energy and helps reduce overtopping, the council added.
"The port is a key part of our city's infrastructure and these new rock revetments are a very cost-effective way for longer-term protection of the port and all its key assets," said cabinet member Kevin Johnston.

Explained | One year since the Pegasus spyware revelations
July 22, 2022 10:30 ISTWhat has been the aftermath of the Pegasus spyware operations? Who does it target and why is the government under scrutiny?
The story so far: The Supreme Court will be hearing the case pertaining to the alleged use of the Pegasus spyware software later this month. Last year, a consortium of 17 journalistic organisations globally put forth a list alleging the use of the spyware by the Union government to snoop on several prominent individuals. The matter first reached the apex court on October 27 last year. Back then, the court constituted a committee, overseen by former Supreme Court judge Justice R.V Raveendran, to look into the charges and accordingly submit a report “expeditiously”.
What were the objectives of the committee?
The committee overseen by Justice R.V Raveendran was mandated to inquire, investigate and determine, among other things, if Pegasus was used to eavesdrop on phones and other devices of Indian citizens. Details were sought on whether the government had taken any action after reports emerged in 2019 about WhatsApp accounts being hacked by the same spyware and if the government had indeed acquired such a suite. The article had alleged that Pegasus was part of a $2 billion “package of sophisticated weapons and intelligence gear” between India and Israel after Narendra Modi became the first Indian Prime Minister to visit Israel. It added that it was after this deal that India changed its historically pro-Palestine stance.
What is Pegasus?
The Pegasus spyware can not only mop up information stored on phones such as photos and contacts, but can also activate a phone’s camera and microphone and turn it into a spying device without the owner’s knowledge.
The earliest avatars of Pegasus used spear phishing to enter phones, utilising a message designed to entice the target to click on a malicious link. However, it evolved into using “zero-click” attacks wherein the phones were infected without any action from the target individual. In 2019, WhatsApp released a statement saying that Pegasus could enter phones via calls made on the platform, even if they were not attended. Pegasus used several such “exploits” to enter Android and Apple phones. Many of these exploits were reportedly “zero day”, which meant that even the device manufacturers were unaware of these weaknesses. Pegasus can also be delivered through a nearby wireless transmitter, or manually inserted if the target phone is physically available. Once inside the phone, Pegasus can start transmitting any data stored on the phone to its command-and-control centres.
How was Pegasus used in India?
Reports that appeared in July 2021 from the Pegasus Project, which includes The Wire in India, The Guardian in the U.K., and The Washington Post in the U.S., said that in India, at least 40 journalists, Cabinet Ministers, and holders of constitutional positions were possibly subjected to surveillance using Pegasus. The reports were based on a database of about 50,000 phone numbers accessed by the Paris-based non-profit Forbidden Stories and Amnesty International. These numbers were reportedly of interest to clients of the NSO Group (developer of the Pegasus software). According to The Guardian, Amnesty International’s Security Lab tested 67 of the phones linked to the Indian numbers in the database and found that “23 were successfully infected and 14 showed signs of attempted penetration”.
Since Pegasus is graded as a cyberweapon and can only be sold to authorised government entities as per Israeli law, most reports have suggested that the governments in these countries are the clients.
What has been the fallout?
The Indian government has so far neither confirmed nor denied that it has deployed Pegasus for any operation. In the wake of the Pegasus Project revelations, several petitions were filed with the Supreme Court alleging that the government had indulged in mass surveillance in an attempt to muzzle free speech and democratic dissent. In response to the petitions, the Supreme Court asked the Centre to file a detailed affidavit regarding the use of Pegasus. However, the Centre refused to comply, arguing that such a public affidavit would compromise national security. Following this, the Supreme Court had appointed the expert panel led by Justice R.V. Raveendran. The Government has so far not responded to the NYT report, except for Minister of State Gen (Retd) V.K. Singh calling The New York Times a “supari” (hit-job) newspaper.
What do Indian laws outline?
Section 5(2) of The Indian Telegraph Act, 1885, states that the government can intercept a “message or class of messages” when it is “in the interests of the sovereignty and integrity of India, the security of the state, friendly relations with foreign states or public order or for preventing incitement to the commission of an offence”. The operational process for it appears in Rule 419A of the Indian Telegraph Rules, 1951. Rule 419A was added to the Telegraph Rules after the verdict in the People’s Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL) vs Union of India case, in which the Supreme Court said telephonic conversations are covered by the right to privacy, which can be breached only if there are established procedures. Under Rule 419A, surveillance needs the sanction of the Home Secretary at the Central or State level, but in “unavoidable circumstance” can be cleared by a Joint Secretary or officers above, if they have the Home Secretary’s authorisation. In the K.S. Puttaswamy vs Union of India verdict of 2017, the Supreme Court further reiterated the need for oversight of surveillance, stating that it should be legally valid and serve a legitimate aim of the government.
The second legislation enabling surveillance is Section 69 of the Information Technology Act, 2000. It facilitates government “interception or monitoring or decryption of any information through any computer resource” if it is in the interest of the “sovereignty or integrity of India, defence of India, security of the state, friendly relations with foreign States or public order” or for preventing or investigating any cognisable offence. The procedure for it is detailed in the Information Technology Rules, 2009.
These rules, according to Apar Gupta, lawyer and executive director of the Internet Freedom Foundation, are very broad and allow even the redirection of traffic to false websites or the planting of any device to acquire information. Mr. Gupta is of the opinion that the use of Pegasus is illegal as it constitutes unauthorised access under Section 66 of the Information Technology Act. Section 66 prescribes punishment to anyone who gains unauthorised access and “downloads, copies or extracts any data”, or “introduces or causes to be introduced any computer contaminant or computer virus,” as laid down in Section 43. | https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/a-year-since-pegasus-revelations/article65666799.ece/amp/ | 2022-07-22T06:02:31Z | https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/a-year-since-pegasus-revelations/article65666799.ece/amp/ | false |

Forestry group Stora Enso's quarterly earnings miss estimates
Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com
HELSINKI, July 22 (Reuters) - Finnish-Swedish forestry company Stora Enso posted weaker-than-expected quarterly earnings on Friday as logistics bottlenecks dented profitability.
"Demand has been robust for our main segments but logistical challenges with low long haul vessel reliability and poor container availability has had an impact on our ability to fully serve our customers," Chief Executive Annika Bresky said in a statement.
Second-quarter sales rose 18% to 3.05 billion euros, while analysts had estimated revenue to be 2.98 billion euros.

The pulp, paper and cardboard maker said its April-June comparable operating profit rose 39% to 505 million euros ($514.39 million), missing the 565 million euro mean estimate of 7 analysts polled by Refinitiv.
Stora in June raised its full-year earnings guidance and said it now expects 2022 operating profit to exceed last year's 1.53 billion euros.

There's an unwritten -- but widely known -- rule in the world of The Real Housewives: the second season is always the hardest for new cast members, and Crystal Kung Minkoff is experiencing that firsthand on season 12 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
"Yeah, I did [feel that]," Crystal confesses to ET, speaking at a viewing party for RHOBH thrown by her pal/co-star, Kathy Hilton, and Menolabs at Kathy's home on Wednesday night. "And it's so funny because, it actually looks harder, too! I didn't know at the time, really-- I mean, I felt it, but I was like, 'Oh, this is just part of [the process]...' and then when you're watch, you're like, ugh."
Basically, by watching back the first half of the season (so far), Crystal's feelings from filming have been validated. The women seemed to gang up on her a few times in the first 11 episodes, arguing with the mom of two over word choice and gossiping about how she somehow lost "14 friends" because of her controlling and manipulative behavior. Crystal says the 14 friends story has been twisted and blown out of proportion, revealing she's actually the person who told her co-stars about that drama in the first place.
"I'm the one that told the story to them!" she exclaims, confirming some fan speculation that the falling out with that group was about Crystal joining Housewives.
"It was actually about the show," she shares. "That's why it doesn't go on [air], because it's breaking fourth wall, but I was like, 'You guys! You guys told me this would have happened when you guys would have got the show...'"
The group of 14, which Crystal says is really more like three, apparently had some jealously over the fact that Crystal landed a spot on Housewives; it's unclear if those women were also in the running to snag diamonds.
"People... sometimes people don't want you to sort of walk out of the bubble they're used to, and that started with starting my coconut water company and then getting into Costco, and each interaction I experience this," Crystal muses, "and so when this was happening with the show, I shared this with a couple girls, and they were like, 'Oh, blah, blah, blah...' and that's not fair. It is what it is, and that's fine and you know, it's a part of the show."
"When I saw it, my friends were like, 'I can't believe you told them!'" she admits. "I'm just, like, an open book. I can't spend my life worrying if someone’s going to say something, because it's the truth and I'm just going to say it."
So far, it seems the audience is still enjoying seeing Crystal speak her truth. The same can't necessarily be said for season 12 newbie Diana Jenkins, who's proved to be a controversial addition to the cast as she feuds with fan-favorite Sutton Stracke.
"Here's the thing with Diana: it's because the people that I talk to in real life, like my friends, love her on the show. The audience online seems to not like her," Crystal reflects. "I think she's just a black-and-white person and she's just less forgiving, you know? Where I wear my heart on my shoulder, on like my sleeve. I think once she feels sort of wronged, it's hard for her to see otherwise, and everyone has different personalities, and the audience doesn't like that."
"I get why people are hard on her, but that's just who she is," she continues, "and I appreciate that she won't adjust. Like, that I think people don't appreciate in her. Whereas other people move their personalities around to fit, she won’t and like, what else do you want? Do you want real, or do you want someone that's gonna [be fake], right?"
Crystal says she "impressed" by how Diana's handled the online criticism, because it hasn't seemed to faze her in the least. "She doesn't adjust, and I think that that's what people ask for and so it's like, take it or leave it," she says. "But that's her."
Viewers saw a more sensitive side to Diana on Wednesday's episode, as she comforted Crystal when she broke down in tears while discussing her eating disorder struggles. Kyle Richards brought up the topic, prodding Crystal a bit on the subject after Crystal made an Instagram post about her relationship with food.
"I was a little surprised," Crystal admits of the conversation, getting teary-eyed even talking about it. "I'm the one that posted about how I was feeling-- I guess I always think the show is the show and outside of the show is my life, like, 'Oh they brought it up again...'"
Crystal spoke with ET just after the episode finished airing on the east coast. She says her DMs were flooded with responses from viewers about the emotional conversation.
"Today's a little emotional, like seeing clips of it," she says. "[My husband, Rob Minkoff] actually watched it yesterday, it was so cute, and halfway through he came over, walked down the hallway with his arms up and I was like, 'What are you doing?' and he's like, 'I'm giving you a hug...' and I'm like, 'Why?' and he's like, 'I'm in the middle of watching the episode...' he's really sweet and he's like, 'I'm so sorry.'"
"It's great for her that she's able to talk about it, and be open about it, 'cause that actually helps her deal with it," Rob tells ET, "and I think for me, I don't think it's different if someone had a problem with alcohol, and they were in recovery, and they'd say, 'I'm a recovered...' or, 'I'm a recovering alcoholic...' rather."
"It's always with you, you're always aware of it," he continues, "you try to keep it in check as much as possible. The good news is, Crystal isn't always in the middle of that horrible, emotional place. Sometimes it comes up, but she always works to keep it in check."
"I hope that [my talking about it] sheds light on what people go through," Crystal says. "Not just eating disorders, but sort of any mental health stuff."
The episode ended on a funky note in regard to Crystal's eating; as she attempted to open up to Erika Jayne about her complicated feelings toward food, Erika suggested Crystal use laxatives to clear her system, rather than purge. The singer also shooed Crystal away from a plate of chicken tenders, seemingly an ill-themed crack at her disordered eating.
"I do think that people respond to kind of uncomfortable situations differently," Crystal muses, saying viewers will need to tune in to see how she handles Erika at that party, which continues airing next week.
"Some people are more empathetic, some people are awkward, some people can be judgmental," she rattles off, "I've gotten so many different kinds of responses to my eating disorder that I tend to kinda just walk away from the situation because it's mine and I can't let anyone affect that and that's how I protect myself."
"You can't fight someone on it," she adds. "I mean, you can, I guess. Like, I got a couple of messages like, 'Why didn't you scream at Erika with Jax?'"
Crystal's referencing an awkward moment from a few episodes back, in which a tipsy Erika told castmate Garcelle Beauvais' teenaged son to "get the f**k out of here" when he approached the table she was seated at to grab some flowers to take home.
"I'm like, he doesn't need to experience another adult screaming," Crystal explains. "That's not what I'm trying to show another child, and so if someone’s feeling-- I'm not going to scream at someone doing that to me. Maybe I'll have a discussion later, but in that moment it's about protection and self-preservation, for Jax -- for him and for me -- and I just have to walk away and then I can deal with them later."
Crystal's mature approach to engaging has left some viewers wondering if she can "bring it" the way some of her... more vocal co-stars do; those viewers include former Housewife Camille Grammer, who's labeled Crystal "boring" on Twitter.
"Yawn. ... Call me boring, I don't care," Crystal casually responds. "There's people that like to comment about things like this, I don't know. Like, it's not my style, I'm a very busy person. So maybe she should get busier. Get a job, I don't know."
While she's likely not to face off with Camille anytime soon, Crystal will have to hash out some issues with Garcelle at the reunion taping later this year. The ladies started off filming season 12 in a good place, went through some ups and downs, ended in a good place... only for things to sort of unravel as the episodes started to air. Garcelle's accused Crystal of lying, and alleged she attempted to set up Sutton for a dramatic confrontation last year.
"We're good," Crystal says of their current friendship status. "She texted me recently -- very recently -- said some nice things. ... She knows I didn’t [do what she accused me of doing to Sutton]. She knows that."
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo.

Many local school districts only offer European languages such as Spanish or Latin. These schools do not offer enough course variety to their students and should expand their foreign language options.
Mandarin is the second most-spoken language in the world, with over 1 billion speakers, and Hindi is the third with 698 million speakers. India and China are countries known for manufacturing, so knowing Hindi and Mandarin could be very helpful for students’ upcoming careers.
In addition, China created one of the most common computer coding languages written without English letters, so those wanting to become computer programmers and engineers would benefit from knowing Mandarin.
Arabic is spoken in at least 22 countries by 273 million people, so it would be useful to learn Arabic for jobs that require travel to the Middle East and Africa.
I believe school districts should also offer Japanese, for it is currently popular with many individuals under 30 due to anime and memes. For this reason, it is likely that many students would be interested in formally learning Japanese. Furthermore, Japan has the third-largest economy in the world, so students wanting to enter international business might find Japanese language courses helpful for their future professions.
Although districts may not have the budget to implement all four languages, they should at least implement one. Greater variety in foreign language courses might also lead to greater student acceptance of people and ideas from other countries. | https://dentonrc.com/opinion/letters_to_editor/letters-to-the-editor-july-22/article_8e1b2625-6f68-5aba-9d88-dc44487be81a.html | 2022-07-22T06:28:56Z | https://dentonrc.com/opinion/letters_to_editor/letters-to-the-editor-july-22/article_8e1b2625-6f68-5aba-9d88-dc44487be81a.html | true |
LISBON, Portugal (AP) — Major wildfires in Europe are starting earlier in the year, becoming more frequent, doing more damage and getting harder to stop.
And, scientists say, they’re probably going to get worse as climate change intensifies unless countermeasures are taken.
A mass migration of Europeans from the countryside to cities in recent decades has left neglected woodland at the mercy of the droughts and heat waves that are increasingly common amid global warming. One tiny spark can unleash an inferno.
Fighting forest fires in Europe has never been so hard. Here’s why:
___
WHAT’S CAUSING EUROPE’S WILDFIRES?
The continent’s so-called rural exodus since the second half of the last century, as Europeans moved to cities in search of a better life, has left significant areas of countryside neglected and vulnerable.
Woodland is littered with combustible material, says Johann Goldammer, head of the Global Fire Monitoring Center, an advisory body to the United Nations. That includes things like dead tree trunks and fallen branches, dead leaves and desiccated grass.
“This is why we have unprecedented wildfire risk: because never before in history — say, the last 1,000 or 2,000 years — has there been so much flammable material around,” he said.
He adds: “The landscape is getting explosive.”
Carelessness with naked flames is often enough to ignite a wildfire. In Portugal, where more than 100 people died in wildfires in 2017, authorities say 62% of outbreaks stem from farming activities such as burning stubble.
___
IS GLOBAL WARMING A FACTOR IN THE WILDFIRES?
Climate change has added a scary new dimension to wildfires and made them more menacing.
That is especially true in southern Europe, where the increasing occurrence of fire weather conditions — high temperatures, drought and high winds — make summer wildfires “the new norm,” says Friederike Otto, Senior Lecturer in Climate Science at the Grantham Institute for Climate Change at Imperial College London.
The European Union noted this month that over the past five years the bloc has witnessed its most intense wildfires on record and that the continent’s current drought could become its worst ever. The Mediterranean region is warming 20% faster than the global average, according to the U.N..
EU fire statistics bear witness to the problem. The amount of burned European countryside has more than tripled this year, with almost 450,000 hectares charred through July 16, compared with a 2006-2021 average of 110,000 hectares in those same months.
By that same date, Europe had witnessed almost 1,900 wildfires compared with an average of 470 for the 2006-2021 period.
___
ARE WILDFIRES DIFFERENT NOW?
The droughts and heat waves tied to climate change have made wildfires harder to fight, as conditions make it easier for them to spread quickly. Scientists say climate change will continue to make weather more extreme and wildfires more frequent and destructive.
That includes instances of so-called “megafires” — blazes so big they are virtually unstoppable.
Spain’s wildfire problems this year began with the arrival in spring of the country’s earliest heat wave in two decades. Temperatures rose above 40 C (104 F) in many Spanish cities — levels traditionally seen in high summer.
Neighboring Portugal also saw its warmest May in nine decades, when 97% of the land was classified as being in severe drought. In France, it was the hottest May on record.
“We will not be able to completely prevent wildfires,” says Otto of Imperial College. “We have to learn to live with this.”
___
HOW DO WE COEXIST WITH MORE WILDFIRES?
Scientists say there is no need to lose hope, despite the images of terrifying walls of flame and overwhelmed fire services.
“This is not an act of god,” Otto says of the more frequent wildfires. “This is, to a large degree, our doing and we have quite a lot of (power) to do something about it.”
Things we can do to adapt include putting an end to the burning of fossil fuels and educating people about global warming, she says.
Forest management also needs to be reviewed, says Amila Meskin, a policy adviser at the Brussels-based European State Forest Association, which represents governments’ forest companies, enterprises and agencies in 25 European countries.
Projects such as water retention schemes, mixing forest species and the restoration of peat lands are already happening in some places.
The effects are unlikely to be seen soon, however. Short-term planning in forestry can stretch over 50 years, and fundamental change will take decades.
More broadly, Meskin sees a general lack of interest in rural jobs and notes that forestry is not a fashionable business. Those sentiments need to be reversed, but that’s a big ask.
Maybe, she says, the shock of the wildfires will generate renewed public interest in forest care.
“It’s a very emotional thing to see forests burn,” Meskin said. “It’s such a sad, sad, sad situation.”

BCB likely to adopt rotation policy to cope with tight FTP
However, BCB CEO Nizam Uddin Chowdhury hinted that in the wake of the situation, they might take a decision of rotation policy, scrutinising all ins and outs.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) might adopt a rotation policy for the players to cope with a busy schedule for the 2023-2027 Future Tour Programme (FTP) cycle.
In these four years Bangladesh will play 144 matches-34 Tests, 59 ODIs and 51 T20 Internationals, something which they never played in any previous cycle.
West Indies, with 146 matches in four years, are the only team to play more matches than Bangladesh.
The busy International schedule had already taken a huge toll on the players' body with England star Ben Stokes being the latest victim.
Stokes, the Test captain of England had already retired from ODI cricket to give his body some rest.
While Bangladesh are not used to playing such a huge number of matches more often, most of the players also have injury concerns, for which, the experts believe that it will be tough for the Tigers to cope with.
For some years now the big teams emphasised on split teams for three formats of the cricket and also rotated players to give them some rest from the busy schedule. In fact, the big teams don't allow their crucial players to play less important matches and thereby they are managing players' interest.
But Bangladesh are yet to create this culture and indeed they couldn't afford to have such luxury. And even if they could afford, they often looked reluctant to rest senior players. For example, Bangladesh are sending a full strength team in Zimbabwe, when experts believe that even a second string Bangladesh could play well there given Zimbabwe's strength.
Bangladesh had a chance to test their bench strength in the last ODI match against West Indies of late since the series was not the part of the ICC ODI Super League and also Bangladesh had already won the series. But the team management was reluctant.
However, BCB CEO Nizam Uddin Chowdhury hinted that in the wake of the situation, they might take a decision of rotation policy, scrutinizing all ins and outs.
"Not only the cricketers, but also there will be pressure on the team management (to deal with such a busy schedule)," he said here today.
"When the FTP will be finalised we will sit together to make a roadmap. A comprehensive plan regarding this is needed. We need to understand how we can cope with this situation."
The CEO also talked about the Asia Cup after Sri Lanka finally refused to host the tournament due to the political turmoil in their country.
Even though UAE is ahead to replace Sri Lanka as the host for the tournament, Bangladesh's name is also in the list as host.
But the CEO said they are yet to know anything officially regarding Sri Lanka's refusal to host the tournament.
"Nothing is official now. If Sri Lanka refuses to host the tournament, the ACC is there to take a decision. At this moment, we can't make any comment on this," he added. | https://www.tbsnews.net/sports/bcb-likely-adopt-rotation-policy-cope-tight-ftp-462810 | 2022-07-22T06:42:47Z | https://www.tbsnews.net/sports/bcb-likely-adopt-rotation-policy-cope-tight-ftp-462810 | false |

Millions hungry but drought overlooked as Kenya prepares to vote
Over four million people in northern Kenya are facing severe hunger as the worst drought in 40 years devastates the Horn of Africa
In the dust bowl of Kenya's drought-stricken north, the people of Purapul are edging closer to starvation, surviving on nothing but wild berries as their children waste away from hunger.
Loka Metir knows the bitter fruits make her children sick, further weakening their frail condition. But it hasn't rained properly in three years, and there's simply nothing else to eat.
"This is the only way to survive," the mother of five told AFP in Purapul, a scattering of thatch huts a two-day walk from the nearest town in the bone-dry Marsabit county.
At least 18 million people across the Horn of Africa are facing severe hunger as the worst drought in 40 years devastates the region.
Over four million are in Kenya's often-forgotten north, a number that has climbed steadily this year, as the crisis struggles to attract national attention in the midst of a hard-fought -- and expensive -- election campaign.
Nearly 950,000 children under five years and 134,000 pregnant and breastfeeding women in Kenya's remote arid regions are acutely malnourished and need aid, according to government figures from June.
Hunger in the three hardest-hit counties, including Marsabit, borders on famine.
- 'Under the carpet' -
The World Bank forecast in June that the drought, coupled with economic disruption from Russia's invasion of Ukraine, would drag on Kenya's recovery from the coronavirus pandemic.
Four consecutive failed rainy seasons, made worse by a changing climate, have created the driest conditions since the early 1980s
Yet it has barely featured on the election agenda as Kenya's political giants have criss-crossed the country drumming up votes.
In the hustings, the soaring cost of living in East Africa's biggest economy has overshadowed other concerns.
Protesters in major cities have threatened to boycott the much-anticipated August 9 poll if prices aren't lowered, chanting "no food, no election".
The plight of northern Kenya has largely gone "under the carpet", said economist Timothy Njagi from the Tegemeo Institute of Agricultural Policy and Development in Nairobi.
"I found it quite sad... Given that this was going to be an election year, we would have imagined that it was going to be a key discussion point," he told AFP.
The drought has barely featured on the election agenda as Kenya's political giants have criss-crossed the country drumming up votes
Four consecutive failed rainy seasons, made worse by a changing climate, have created the driest conditions since the early 1980s.
Rivers and wells have run dry, and grazing land has turned to dust, spurring the death of more than 1.5 million livestock in Kenya alone.
Animal carcasses litter the rocky plains around Purapul, where pastoral families have struggled without milk or meat in their diets, or any means of trading for food.

Iripiyo Apothya watched her goats shrink and die. The skins she couldn't boil and eat line the floor of her hut.
"Now I eat what the monkeys eat," said the 73-year-old, clutching a handful of the berries she boils into a bitter paste.
"But even these are running out -- what can we do?"
The drought, which could stretch into 2023 if the next rains fail as predicted, has also struggled for global attention
The village is isolated and like many across Kenya's chronically underfunded north, has no school, road, shop or dispensary.
The nearest town Loiyangalani is 60 kilometres (37 miles) away. Despite hosting Africa's biggest wind farm, this dusty settlement on Lake Turkana is itself without electricity.
Outside town, children dig for water along the desolate shoreline of Turkana, an enormous salt lake.
The two main presidential aspirants, William Ruto and Raila Odinga, have helicoptered into drought-affected regions, promising infrastructure and development in brief campaign stops.
But this is not vote-rich country to canvas and droughts generally don't win elections, said Karuti Kanyinga from the Institute for Development Studies at the University of Nairobi.
"It is a lose-lose for anyone who raises it," said Kanyinga.
Claire Nasike, from Greenpeace Africa, told AFP that pledges by both candidates to invest in water and agriculture in drought-prone areas lacked important detail.
"The nitty-gritties of how they are going to address the climate crises have not been captured."
- 'We are dying' -
The drought, which could stretch into 2023 if the next rains fail as predicted, has also struggled for global attention in a crowded field.
A single doctor checks dozens of mothers and infants for malnutrition during a twice-monthly visit to Purapul
An appeal for Ukraine has raised $1.92 billion -- nearly 86 percent of its goal, according to UN data.
Kenya's much smaller drought appeal has reached just 17 percent of its target.
At the same time, the cost of delivering aid has jumped as the war in Ukraine drives up food and fuel prices.
Under an acacia tree, a single doctor checks dozens of mothers and infants for malnutrition during a twice-monthly visit to Purapul.
"The kind of aid we give is just a drop in the ocean," said James Jarso from World Vision, one of the few charities providing drought relief on the ground.
The government says it has spent over 10 billion Kenyan shillings ($84.3 million) since the drought was declared a national disaster in September.
"We are going through tough economic times. We are doing everything possible within the means of the government to support the communities," Steven Mavina, the Deputy County Commissioner of Loiyangalani, told AFP.
In Purapul, villagers draw water from a contaminated well and wait for help to arrive.
"We don't have anyone to help us," Apothya said.

Foreign currency deposits down in June on import bills, strong dollar
SEOUL, July 22 (Yonhap) -- Foreign currency deposits at banks in South Korea shrank in June as importers paid bills and individuals sold the greenback amid a strong dollar, data showed on Friday.
Residents' outstanding foreign currency-denominated deposits had reached US$87.06 billion as of end-June, down $2.11 billion from the previous month, according to the data from the Bank of Korea (BOK).
Residents include local citizens, companies, foreigners staying here for more than six months and foreign firms. The data excludes interbank foreign currency deposits.
The fall in the June foreign currency deposits came as companies withdrew dollar holdings to make overseas investments and pay import bills.
Individuals also curtailed dollar deposits to lock in profits from the greenback's recent ascent against the local currency, the BOK said.
Companies' foreign currency deposits fell $1.34 billion on-month to $72.57 billion in June, with deposits by individuals also shrinking $770 million to $14.49 billion over the cited period, the data showed.
Dollar-denominated deposits had come to $73.61 billion as of end-June, down $1.74 billion from a month earlier. Euro-denominated deposits also declined $500 million to $4.63 billion over the cited period, according to the data.
The U.S. dollar averaged 1,280.8 against the Korean won last month, up 12.4 won from the previous month.

Crisis-hit Sri Lanka swears in new prime minister
By Uditha Jayasinghe
COLOMBO, July 22 (Reuters) - Senior Sri Lankan lawmaker Dinesh Gunawardena was sworn in on Friday as the new prime minister, his office said, a day after the swearing-in of a new president as the Indian Ocean nation grapples with its worst economic crisis in decades.
The event came just hours after security forces raided a protest camp on government grounds in the main city of Colombo and cleared part of it, with at least nine arrests, as the new administration moves to crack down on protesters.
A former minister from the Podujana Peramuna party, Gunawardena took the oath of office in the presence of Wickremesinghe, seated in front of uniformed military officers in a room packed with lawmakers and officials.
The rest of the cabinet is expected to be sworn in later on Friday.
Sri Lanka's crisis, the result of economic mismanagement and the fallout of conflict in Ukraine, sparked months of mass protests and eventually forced then president Gotabaya Rajapaksa to flee the country.
Wickremesinghe declared a state of emergency while seeking a bailout from the International Monetary Fund.

It has been only a week since Joseph Cuffari, the Department of Homeland Security’s inspector general, shared that the U.S. Secret Service had deleted key text messages from around the time rioters attacked the U.S. Capitol. The disclosure, in a letter to the House and Senate Homeland Security committees, said the messages from Jan. 5 and 6, 2021, “were erased as part of a device-replacement program,” adding they were deleted after the inspector general had requested records of Secret Service electronic communications as part of a review of events leading up to the Jan. 6 insurrection.
Whatever happened does not pass the smell test. To paraphrase Marcellus from Shakespeare’s “Hamlet,” something appears rotten in the Secret Service.
The Secret Service has been under scrutiny since a report began circulating that then-Vice President Mike Pence defied Secret Service recommendations to evacuate the Capitol on Jan. 6. This report was later given added importance following former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony before the Jan. 6 House committee that an official told her that then-President Donald Trump had angrily demanded that his security detail take him to the Capitol after his speech at the Ellipse.
The Secret Service has pushed back on the inspector general’s allegations, saying that “the insinuation that the Secret Service maliciously deleted text messages following a request is false.” It also said it had notified the Office of Inspector General “of the loss of certain phones’ data, but confirmed to OIG that none of the texts it was seeking had been lost in the migration.”
I find that explanation difficult to believe. For eight years, I was a deputy commissioner for the Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications (now called the Office of Technology and Innovation, or OTI), a more than billion-dollar-a-year agency responsible for information technology policy, technology investments and oversight of the management of the technology devices used by the city of New York’s more than 325,000 employees.
My role as a deputy commissioner put me in countless meetings every time there was a major software upgrade, platform transition, device migration or any other major change in the technology that city employees used. It included everyone from rank-and-file police officers to the mayor himself.
Front and center in all these conversations were records and data preservation and compliance with New York state’s Freedom of Information Law, or FOIL, the equivalent of the federal government’s Freedom of Information Act, or FOIA. In fact, talk of FOIL was so engrained in the minds of city managers that it was adjectivized — something “foilable” was part of our everyday vernacular.
Of course, New York City government, albeit a sprawling and complex public-sector enterprise, is not the same as the federal government, a behemoth with nearly seven times the number of civil employees as the city of New York. But it’s almost impossible to imagine the policies and processes for adhering to record-keeping laws at the federal government would be laxer than those of the city. If anything, one would naturally assume — especially when it comes to an agency such as the Secret Service — that adherence to such guidelines would be far more stringent than that of a local government.
Without getting into the nerdy details of IT data management, suffice to say that no major technology device transfer could possibly happen without there being not one but several levels of backed-up data and redundancy.
And keep in mind, in the public sector, particularly because of FOIL and FOIA laws, IT professionals are not the only ones involved in major technology overhaul decisions. In the city of New York, when one agency is upgrading tech from one device to another, lawyers — representatives from each agency’s Office of General Counsel — help ensure that all applicable data is being safely preserved. A lot of people have eyes on any major technology overhaul, especially one where data is in the mix.
And this makes Tuesday’s news that the Secret Service has turned over thousands of documents to the Jan. 6 committee, but has not yet recovered the missing texts, all the more alarming.
If the deleted data was the result of some bizarro act of benign negligence, that data should have been easy to recoup by forensic IT specialists. The Secret Services insists it is still trying to find those missing messages.
As nearly every IT professional knows, with the right resources, a good forensic IT team can gather just about any data that has been “deleted” — nothing is ever really gone for good. If in fact the Secret Service concludes that the records are really gone, it could mean they were erased with intent, but we’ll have to wait for the outcome of the investigation to know. | https://www.phillytrib.com/commentary/the-secret-services-actions-on-text-messages-dont-pass-the-smell-test/article_f31f52a6-23f9-5858-9e12-7fb3b12c439a.html | 2022-07-22T06:55:47Z | https://www.phillytrib.com/commentary/the-secret-services-actions-on-text-messages-dont-pass-the-smell-test/article_f31f52a6-23f9-5858-9e12-7fb3b12c439a.html | false |

The spread of monkeypox in the U.S. could represent the dawn of a new sexually transmitted disease, though some health officials say the virus that causes pimple-like bumps might yet be contained before it gets firmly established.
Experts don't agree on the likely path of the disease, with some fearing that it is becoming so widespread that it is on the verge of becoming an entrenched STD — like gonorrhea, herpes and HIV.
But no one's really sure, and some say testing and vaccines can still stop the outbreak from taking root.
So far, more than 2,400 U.S. cases have been reported as part of an international outbreak that emerged two months ago.
Health officials are not sure how fast the virus has spread. They have only limited information about people who have been diagnosed, and they don't know how many infected people might be spreading it unknowingly.
They also don't know how well vaccines and treatments are working. One impediment: Federal health officials do not have the authority to collect and connect data on who has been infected and who has been vaccinated.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
With such huge question marks, predictions about how big the U.S. outbreak will get this summer vary widely, from 13,000 to perhaps more than 10 times that number.
Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said the government's response is growing stronger every day and vaccine supplies will soon surge.
“I think we still have an opportunity to contain this,” Walensky told The Associated Press.
Monkeypox is endemic in parts of Africa, where people have been infected through bites from rodents or small animals. It does not usually spread easily among people.
But this year more than 15,000 cases have been reported in countries that historically don’t see the disease. In the U.S. and Europe, the vast majority of infections have happened in men who have sex with men, though health officials have stressed that anyone can catch the virus.
It spreads mainly through skin-to-skin contact, but it can also be transmitted through linens used by someone with monkeypox. Although it's been moving through the population like a sexually transmitted disease, officials have been watching for other types of spread that could expand the outbreak.
Symptoms include fever, body aches, chills, fatigue and the bumps on parts of the body. The illness has been relatively mild in many men, and no one has died in the U.S. But people can be contagious for weeks, and the lesions can be extremely painful.
When monkeypox emerged, there was reason to believe that public health officials could control it.
The tell-tale bumps should have made infections easy to identify. And because the virus spreads through close personal contact, officials thought they could reliably trace its spread by interviewing infected people and asking who they had been intimate with.
It didn't turn out to be that easy.
With monkeypox so rare in the U.S., many infected men — and their doctors — may have attributed their rashes to some other cause.
Contact tracing was often stymied by infected men who said they did not know the names of all the people they had sex with. Some reported having multiple sexual interactions with strangers.
It didn't help that local health departments, already burdened with COVID-19 and scores of other diseases, now had to find the resources to do intensive contact-tracing work on monkeypox, too.
Indeed, some local health officials have given up expecting much from contact tracing.
There was another reason to be optimistic: The U.S. government already had a vaccine. The two-dose regimen called Jynneos was licensed in the U.S. in 2019 and recommended last year as a tool against monkeypox.
When the outbreak was first identified in May, U.S. officials had only about 2,000 doses available. The government distributed them but limited the shots to people who were identified through public health investigations as being recently exposed to the virus.
Late last month, as more doses became available, the CDC began recommending that shots be offered to those who realize on their own that they could have been infected.
Demand has exceeded supply, with clinics in some cities rapidly running out of vaccine doses and health officials across the country saying said they don't have enough.
That's changing, Walensky said. As of this week, the government has distributed more than 191,000 doses, and it has 160,000 more ready to send. As many as 780,000 doses will become available as early as next week.
Once current demand is satisfied, the government will look at expanding vaccination efforts.
The CDC believes that 1.5 million U.S. men are considered at high risk for the infection.
Testing has also expanded. More than 70,000 people can be tested each week, far more than current demand, Walensky said. The government has also embarked on a campaign to educate doctors and gay and bisexual men about the disease, she added.
Donal Bisanzio, a researcher at RTI International, believes U.S. health officials will be able to contain the outbreak before it becomes endemic.
But he also said that won't be the end of it. New bursts of cases will probably emerge as Americans become infected by people in other countries where monkeypox keeps circulating.
Walensky agrees that such a scenario is likely. “If it's not contained all over the world, we are always at risk of having flare-ups” from travelers, she said.
Shawn Kiernan, of the Fairfax County Health Department in Virginia, said there is reason to be tentatively optimistic because so far the outbreak is concentrated in one group of people — men who have sex with men.
Spread of the virus into heterosexual people would be a "tipping point” that may occur before it's widely recognized, said Kiernan, chief of the department's communicable disease section.
Spillover into heterosexuals is just a matter of time, said Dr. Edward Hook III, emeritus professor of infectious diseases at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
If monkeypox becomes an endemic sexually transmitted disease, it will be yet another challenge for health departments and doctors already struggling to keep up with existing STDs.
Such work has long been underfunded and understaffed, and a lot of it was simply put on hold during the pandemic. Kiernan said HIV and syphilis were prioritized, but work on common infections like chlamydia and gonorrhea amounted to “counting cases and that’s about it.”
For years, gonorrhea, chlamydia and syphilis cases have been rising.
“By and large," Hook said, doctors "do a crummy job of taking sexual histories, of inquiring about and acknowledging their patients are sexual beings.”

Firth Rural Fire looks to quickly establish ambulance service
LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) - Firth, Nebraska. Population: 650, and a volunteer fire department that has two stations and 27 members.
Now, those members, along with the district’s fire board, are in a bit of pinch as they quickly look to begin the process of starting an ambulance service.
The reason for that: Lincoln Fire & Rescue’s staffing situation. Right now, an LFR ambulance is automatically sent along with Firth volunteers to all of their medical calls. Starting in September, that will be changing.
“They came to the meeting [in May] and told us they are no longer going to automatically respond for advanced life support,” said Fire Chief Doug Doeschot. “Now they’re going to request that the responding district is on location before they request ALS to make sure they’re needed.” Doeschot adds that will be under that new, September contract with LFR, but negotiations are taking place to try and extend the full response for one more year.
That decision by LFR is based on the challenges they face with staffing, as well as high call volume, making things tough for them to be able to properly respond to medical calls both in the city and out in the county. Right now, LFR only automatically responds with two volunteer departments out in the county: Firth and Bennet. The reason for that is because neither department has an ambulance. Last fall, Bennet (and their rural fire board) voted to begin the process of starting an ambulance for their district.
LFR also has an automatic response with Waverly Volunteer Fire & Rescue, but certain criteria must be met before that level is reached.
Firth says that LFR has made it clear that they’re not going to leave the southern Lancaster County department completely helpless, and that a response will continue to be provided when Firth requests it, per the mutual aid agreement.
For Firth Rural Fire, the process is quickly moving forward to find solutions for the volunteer fire department, which has never had an ambulance service in their history.
One of the things Firth is working to do is buy more time. Adding one more year of LFR service would do just that, Doeschot says. However, that’s not the only thing Firth is working on when it comes to short-term solutions.
“We’re trying to come up with enough volunteers to man an ambulance,” Doeschot said. “And we are obviously looking at buying one to make this happen.”
Doeschot says they have found a used ambulance that’s in good shape that would be able to help get them started. He adds that buying a brand new ambulance would cost upwards of $400,000 dollars. Purchasing a used one would save some time and money, but would still require training and equipping the unit with the proper medical tools. Doeschot says, when it comes to funding, there’s not too much of a concern.
“We can come up with the funding,” Doeschot said. “Our hope is for some large donations. We could, in time, go after tax money, but our hope is to not do that.” He adds that the two biggest concerns are having the ambulance and having the volunteers to staff it.
Another short-term option that Firth is discussing is utilizing neighboring departments to come be the transport for their medical calls until their ambulance is ready to go.
“We have just verbal agreements with the departments around us. We help each other out,” Doeschot said.
Currently, Firth says they have an automatic mutual aid agreement with Adams Rescue any time there’s a medical call in the 15-square-miles of Firth’s Gage County coverage area. As for the 64-square-miles of the Lancaster County portion, discussions are ongoing with Hickman Volunteer Fire & Rescue to help get much of that area covered, in terms of an ambulance service for medical calls.
Hickman’s Assistant Chief, Chelsey Brown, who primarily focuses on the EMS side of the departments operations, says they’re more than willing and ready to help Firth out with a transport service until that ambulance can be operational.
“We’d love to train with them. We’d love to get together, let their EMTs come do transports with us just to get the training,” Brown said. “Whatever they need from us, we’re going to be there to help them until they get their transport up and running.”
Brown adds that Hickman’s EMTs are eager to run calls whenever there’s a need for them.
Doeschot says he more than welcomes the help, but also doesn’t want to overwork not only his volunteers, but also the volunteers of another department.
“If we have to depend on another department, it just takes longer,” he said. “[Another department is] further away, they have the same response time as we do since they’re also volunteers, and there’s the burnout factor, as well.”
Doeschot adds that there are some positives from the situation Firth is in.
“If we can get the volunteers, having our own ambulance is going to make response times a little faster,” he said. “The fact that there’s another ambulance in the county in the event of a major incident is also a plus.”
In the end, everyone agrees that emergency medical services will still be provided in one way or another for those who live in Firth’s district. As for the volunteers with Firth Rural Fire, they’re more than ready to march through the challenges that lie ahead over the next couple years, as they look to add the first ambulance service in the district’s history.

The planned factory for EV batteries will "offer a huge momentum for the local automotive sector" and will benefit from the availability of renewable energy and raw materials such as cobalt and phosphates in the country, he said.
Morocco is negotiating with electric vehicle battery manufacturers to set up a plant in the country to mesh with its existing automotive sector and cobalt output, Industry Minister Ryad Mezzour said on Thursday.
"We hope to sign a deal for the plant before the end of this year," the minister said in an interview with Reuters, but declined to name the companies.
He did not say how much investment it would require, but referred to it as a "gigafactory", a term widely used for very big production facilities.
The planned factory for EV batteries will "offer a huge momentum for the local automotive sector" and will benefit from the availability of renewable energy and raw materials such as cobalt and phosphates in the country, he said.
Demand for such batteries is growing outside and within Morocco, where Citroen plans to double its production capacity within two years from 50,000 supermini electric cars, Mezzour said.
Morocco is home to production plants of Renault and Stellantis with a combined production capacity of 700,000. "We are targeting 1 million within next three to four years," he said.
Exports by some 250 Moroccan automotive manufacturers and part makers topped Morocco's industrial exports over the past seven years surpassing phosphate sales.
Up to May this year, Morocco's automotive sector sales stood at $4.13 billion, up 24%.
The first and second best selling cars in Europe, Dacia Sandero and Peugeot 208, respectively, are both made in Morocco, he said.
To increase competitiveness in the face of China and India, Morocco plans to increase the rate of locally made parts in the cars it exports to 80%, up from 65% currently, he said.
"The automotive and the aerospace industries are two drivers of industrial innovation in the country," he said.
AEROSPACE
The aerospace industry sales will exceed pre-COVID pandemic levels, he said, as exports up to May rose to %877 million, up 61% from a year earlier.
On Monday, Collins Aerospace became the latest major player to join a list of global aerospace manufacturers, including Boeing and Airbus, that import Moroccan-made parts.
The deal, signed on the sidelines of Farnborough Airshow, will add $1 billion in revenue to the Moroccan aerospace suppliers across all spectrums of engine, cabin, fuselage and wing part.
During the same event, Morocco signed another deal with GAL Aerospace to build a $12 million cabin interior plant.
Now, the 140 aerospace industry plants in Morocco are able to build 43% of the components of a global plane, Mezzour said. | https://auto.economictimes.indiatimes.com/amp/news/auto-components/morocco-plans-to-set-up-ev-battery-gigafactory/93042974 | 2022-07-22T07:21:56Z | https://auto.economictimes.indiatimes.com/amp/news/auto-components/morocco-plans-to-set-up-ev-battery-gigafactory/93042974 | true |

We founded Truecaller during the financial crisis of 2009 and have seen how quickly market sentiment can change, which makes it important that the company maintains good profitability, a strong cash position and strong cash flow. We are now in that position, something I am very proud of, and it is in times like these that even more opportunities are created, which we will actively pursue. In the second quarter, we also implemented the option to buy back our own shares as yet another potential tool in our toolbox going forward.
We have been able to report high user and revenue growth since the IPO in October 2021, along with good profitability and strong cash flow. The foundation of that success is a really good product that our users love. I am also particularly proud that we achieved a new record Net Promoter Score in our customer surveys in India, confirming our position as one of the most popular brands in the country. Our efforts to further develop our services continue.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Mookie Betts broke an eighth-inning tie with a three-run homer and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the San Francisco Giants 9-6 on Thursday night after blowing a five-run lead in the seventh.
The streaking NL West leaders won their fifth in a row and 12th in 13 tries, with the All-Star Game logos on the field nearly obliterated two nights after the Dodgers hosted the Midsummer Classic for the first time since 1980.
Betts also made a spectacular diving catch on Joc Pederson's liner in the right-field corner for the final out.
San Francisco tied it on a grand slam by Darin Ruf in the seventh, then went ahead 6-5 in the eighth.
Trayce Thompson's RBI triple off Dominic Leone (3-2) tied it 6-all with two outs in the bottom half. Cody Bellinger drew a walk from left-hander Jarlin Garcia to set up Betts, whose 406-foot shot landed in the left-field pavilion, triggering a raucous reaction from what was left of the sellout crowd of 53,165.
Evan Phillips (4-3) worked one inning for the win, and Craig Kimbrel got three outs for his 16th save.
The Giants tied it at 5 with a five-run seventh when the Dodgers' bullpen crumbled.
Phil Bickford gave up a solo homer to Evan Longoria. Facing a 2-2 count with two outs, Ruf blasted a grand slam to left-center off Alex Vesia to even the score.
Phillips came on in the eighth and promptly walked Wilmer Flores before Pederson doubled to deep left. After Longoria grounded out, Luis González was intentionally walked to load the bases. Phillips walked Thairo Estrada, forcing in Flores for a 6-5 lead.
Austin Slater grounded into a fielder’s choice to third and Max Muncy threw out Pederson at the plate for the second out. Pinch-hitter Joey Bart struck out to end the inning.
Freddie Freeman homered for his NL-leading 115th hit in the first.
Mitch White took a no-hit bid into the sixth as the Dodgers were cruising with a 5-0 lead.
White didn’t allow a baserunner until consecutive two-out walks to Austin Wynns and LaMonte Wade Jr. in the third. The right-hander got his only strikeout in the fifth, when González went down swinging leading off.
Caleb Ferguson followed with two strikeouts in 1 1/3 scoreless innings.
Giants starter Carlos Rodón gave up five runs and six hits in five innings. The left-hander struck out seven and walked two.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Giants: INF Tommy La Stella (COVID-19 IL) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento on Friday. He's expected to get time at second base, designated hitter and third base. ... LHP José Álvarez (left elbow) remains in San Francisco for rehab. ... C Curt Casali (oblique strain) started hitting to go with the running he's already doing. ... RHP Mauricio Llovera (right flexor strain) was transferred to the 60-day IL. ... RHP Zack Littell (left oblique strain) threw a bullpen in Arizona. ... SS Brandon Crawford (right knee inflammation) began light baseball activity.
Dodgers: 3B Justin Turner left the game with abdominal tightness. ... Manager Dave Roberts said he's “cautiously optimistic” that RHP Walker Buehler (right flexor tendon strain) will return in September. ... RHP Dustin May (Tommy John surgery) will pitch three innings at Triple-A Oklahoma City. Roberts expects him back by mid-August. ... LHP Andrew Heaney (left shoulder) will make a start in Arizona. ... RHP Brusdar Graterol (right shoulder) is pain-free and should return soon. ... OF Chris Taylor (left foot) is swinging a bat and throwing, but not able to run yet.
BELLI BOBBLEHEAD
Bellinger's father, Clay, a three-time World Series champion with the Yankees, handled first pitch duties while holding his 7-month-old granddaughter in his left arm. Clay bounced the pitch in the dirt but his son deftly handled it while Caiden appeared nonplussed.
UP NEXT
Giants: RHP Logan Webb (9-3, 2.83 ERA) struck out five over six-plus innings against Milwaukee in his previous start before the All-Star break.
Dodgers: LHP Tyler Anderson (10-1, 2.96) makes his first start with the Dodgers against the rival Giants. He's 1-3 with a 4.40 ERA in eight career starts against them.

ABOVE: In the spring of 2018, a boat was stopped at Highline Lake State Park after the propeller was found covered by quagga mussels during an inspection. BELOW: A Colorado Parks and Wildlife employee checks a boat at Highline State Park for quagga and zebra mussels.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife will be holding a second day of checking boats for invasive species such as mussels at the Loma Port of Entry on Interstate 70 on Saturday, after a first such undertaking in mid-May led to detections of multiple vessels coming from Lake Powell while contaminated with quagga mussel shells.
The agency launched its pilot roadside aquatic nuisance species check station and decontamination program this year, with a May 15 operation at the Loma site. It plans a third day of operations on Sept. 5 at the Loma location, before shifting the effort to some other part of the state next year.
The pilot program is occurring under a state law passed last year in an effort to expand the state’s inspection and decontamination efforts to roadside check stations. Already, trailered and/or motorized watercraft must be inspected before launching in any state waters after boating in a different state, or whenever an inspection is requested before entering or when exiting a water body in the state.
Under the pilot roadside program, vehicles with motorized and other trailered watercraft entering the state must stop when the check station is in place.
Of particular concern to Parks and Wildlife is to keep state water bodies free of destructive aquatic nuisance species found in waters in other states. Zebra and quagga mussels multiply and can clog water delivery pipes, cover docks and shorelines and ruin powerboat engines, among other impacts.
During the May 15 operation, 34 vessels were inspected, 13 of them motorized, Parks and Wildlife reports. Three of the motorized boats were found to have quagga mussel shells, and all three had come from Lake Powell. Parks and Wildlife had chosen the Loma site for this year’s inspection days to help it monitor for boats coming from Lake Powell, which has a high level of mussel infestation.
Local Parks and Wildlife spokeswoman Rachael Gonzalez said three vehicles passed by the station in May without stopping as required. She said she thinks there was a good level of compliance, given the 34 boats that were inspected.
Gonzalez said she doesn’t think the Colorado State Patrol responded in the case of the three who skipped the check station. She was aware of one instance in which a motorist missed the turnoff before being able to stop, and the State Patrol helped escort that person into the station for the boat check.
Under the new law, failing to stop for the required inspection is a civil infraction that carries a $100 fine.
Signs are used to notify boaters when the station is operating. Boats found to have mud, plants, water or mussels during inspection will be subject to decontamination procedures. Parks and Wildlife encourages boaters to ensure their watercraft are clean, drained and dry ahead of time to expedite the inspection process and minimize impacts to their travel.
Gonzalez said that based on how things went on May 15, Parks and Wildlife decided to push back the hours when the station will be operating on Saturday, so it starts later in the morning and lasts later into the evening, to maximize the number of boats checked.
Parks and Wildlife’s invasive species program manager, Robert Walters, said in a news release, “We are grateful for the patience and cooperation of the public as we continue to improve the checkpoint process. We are also encouraged to see a positive impact from the inspections conducted at the first checkpoint.” | https://www.gjsentinel.com/news/western_colorado/second-day-of-boat-checks-in-loma-set-for-saturday/article_d5a20996-0864-11ed-b1d1-4b22a44724d7.html | 2022-07-22T07:34:51Z | https://www.gjsentinel.com/news/western_colorado/second-day-of-boat-checks-in-loma-set-for-saturday/article_d5a20996-0864-11ed-b1d1-4b22a44724d7.html | true |

Heysen Trail record smashed as endurance runners complete 1,200km journey in 12 days
By Daniel KeaneOne of Australia's most formidable hiking routes has been conquered in what is believed to be record time after three endurance runners shaved more than a day off the previous benchmark.
Key points:
- The Heysen Trail stretches 1,200 kilometres from the Flinders Ranges to Cape Jervis
- Rurik "Roo" Symon, Simon Duke and Dan Camac set off last week in honour of their late friend
- They reached their destination on Friday afternoon, breaking the record set five years ago
For the past 13 days, Rurik "Roo" Symon, Simon Duke and Dan Camac averaged more than 90 kilometres per day along South Australia's Heysen Trail, enduring pain, discomfort and sleep deprivation.
The trio – who were honouring a mate who was killed last year in a crash – persisted after fellow runner Marcus Staker was forced to withdraw from the 1,200-kilometre trek due to injury.
The trail, which runs from Parachilna Gorge in the Flinders Ranges through the Adelaide Hills to the Fleurieu Peninsula, combines bucolic stretches with more challenging terrain and coastal clifftop paths.
It is one of Australia's longest recognised hiking thoroughfares and is a favourite of walking groups, but ramblers usually pace themselves and complete the journey in stages, often over months or years.
'Exhausted' but thrilled
The previous acknowledged record of 13 days, 16 hours and 16 minutes was set by endurance runner David Turnbull in 2017.
Symon, Camac and Duke summoned every ounce of fortitude to reach Cape Jervis in 12 days, seven hours and 21 minutes.
Duke admitted he was "exhausted", but was delighted to "be able to say we came in around 2:21pm this afternoon".
"We've been successful in setting a new record for the trail," he told ABC Radio Adelaide's Caroline Winter.
"We had 12 days over 80 kilometres or more, sometimes up to 100 kilometres.
"It's a new experience for us and we've learned a lot from it.
'Fumes and adrenaline'
Earlier in the week, support crew chief Liz Woodgate said there was plenty of encouragement along the way.
"It's definitely not all unicorns and rainbows out here on the trail," she said.
"But … the scenery and the hospitality of the people we've come across has been fabulous."
The odyssey has so far raised more than $30,000 for Autism Camp Australia.
The charity was close to the heart of endurance runner Randell Taylor, who was hit by a truck and killed while cycling in November.
Ms Woodgate said he had been with them "every step of the way".
The group at times got by on "fumes and adrenaline" after nights of only "one-and-a-half hours sleep".
Duke said the group would now treat themselves to a lie-in tomorrow morning and were "craving a good home-cooked meal". | https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-07-22/runners-set-new-record-on-heysen-trail-walking-path/101260782 | 2022-07-22T07:41:23Z | https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-07-22/runners-set-new-record-on-heysen-trail-walking-path/101260782 | false |

What a difference one day can make.
After 20 straight days of increasingly hotter than 100-degree temperatures, Thursday offered an oasis in a seemingly Saharan summer. What better way to celebrate National Junk Food Day than by being able to enjoy without worrying it would melt?
It may be a brief respite, but with temperatures hovering close to 90 degrees in the early afternoon before dropping by the mid-afternoon, it offered Southwest Oklahomans a taste of an almost autumnal feeling. Almost.
Although the National Weather Service predicted Lawton would have a high temperature of 97 degrees, by 3 p.m. the day’s afternoon high of 89 degrees would prove short-lived. With a dapple of drizzle sprinkled downtown, an hour later, the temperature would dip to an almost chilly 82 degrees.
On Tuesday, it wasn’t the humidity, it was the heat. After reaching a summer high of 114 degrees, any relief that followed could be considered sweet.
Thursday’s smattering of rainfall spilled less than 1/100th of an inch in Lawton. However, Walters and Velma recorded 0.12 of an inch, Walters, 0.13 of an inch, and Grandfield received 0.21 of an inch, according to the Oklahoma Mesonet records.
With 67 percent humidity in the air, the chances for rainfall and possibly thunderstorms remained until this morning. You hold onto any hope in the middle of a drought. Barely a dent was made to the around half-inch of rain totals from July 8 thunderstorms that soaked Lawton.
Today is expected to return to a high of 100 degrees with temperatures projected for 103 degrees on Saturday and Sunday and back up to 105 degrees by Monday, according to the National Weather Service.
In other words, don’t break out the long johns just yet.
One day does not a cold front make.

What did you do to your head?” my hairdresser asked, staring at a big knot on my forehead fading to an ugly puce.
“I met up with a couple of Texas gentlemen,” I explained.
My sister-in-law and I were planning a trip to central Texas to visit another sister-in-law. “Take I-35,” her oldest son advised. “It’s the fastest.”
I checked with my middle son who lived near the Texas coast and made the trip several times a year. “Yes,” that’s the fastest,” he agreed, “and if you have trouble, you can get help.”
By the time we had white-knuckled it through Fort Worth, I thought I might have to pry her fingers off the wheel.
We made a stop for lunch, exiting the interstate for a chain restaurant. When we started to leave through the double plate-glass doors, two Texans held them open for us, one from the outside, one on the inside. I hated to favor one gentleman over another so I went through the middle. Unfortunately, there was an iron bar down the middle which I did not notice and smacked my forehead into it. When we got in the car, my sister-in-law took one look and exclaimed: “You’ve got a hematoma!”
I-35 is fine for folks who are in a big hurry, know exactly where they are going and don’t mind going 65 mph with one 18-wheeler three inches in front, a second one three inches behind and a third and fourth brushing each side.
For everybody else, it is highway hell.
As soon as we drove in the driveway, our sister-in-law came out with this welcome greeting: “We’re going out for margaritas and Mexican food. “Never mind the Mexican food,” I said. “Just lead us to the margaritas.”
“We are not going back on I-35,” my sister-in-law said firmly. Fastest, we agreed, was not bestest. We got out our maps again and plotted a return trip on 283. It was as different as Republicans and Democrats. There weren’t nearly the number of 18-wheelers crowding us. The springtime scenery was lovely and we could appreciate the bluebonnets covering the roadsides.
There were places to stop, get out, look at stuff and stretch our legs. We looked at brightly colored ceramic wear and I found a chicken I needed. We looked at the biggest wind chimes we’d ever seen, Western-style furnishings, funny plaques. We ate lemon and coconut cream pie with real meringue two inches high in the pie shop — handy across the street from a shop that sold chocolates with Jack Daniels centers for only $1.75 each.
I suppose it’s a good thing there are different roads for different travelers. There’s the white knuckle route for those who want to get where they’re going as fast as they can. There’s the more leisurely, scenic route for the lollygaggers, the gawkers, the stoppers- to- look-at- stuff.
It works out better when everyone in the car is going on the same route.

CARIBOU, Maine — A public child care center in Aroostook County that made national headlines for losing 23 teachers faces closure after its one-time allocation of federal stimulus money runs out in October.
Jordyn Rossignol runs the only public child care center in the Caribou region, which encompasses the city’s 80 square miles and several small towns. But when her American Rescue Plan funding ends, it will leave 106 children ranging in age from 6 months to 12 years old without child care.
Rossignol’s problem highlights the difficulty of running this crucial service in Maine’s most rural counties.
Though Aroostook has the highest rate of pre-K students in Maine, it’s classified as a “child care desert” due to the scarcity of licensed providers who serve infants and toddlers.
A 2021 report from the Council for a Strong America found that 26 percent of children in Maine’s most rural counties, including Aroostook, Washington, Somerset and Piscataquis, live in one of those deserts — which is where there are more than three children under age 5 for each licensed child care slot. The council used data from the Maine Department of Health and Human Services to draw its conclusions.
But a potential partnership between Rossignol’s center and the Caribou-Stockholm school district could serve as a model for how Maine could make child care access more equitable and affordable.
Unlike Aroostook’s school-based pre-K programs, public and home-based child care centers do not receive state funding and rely solely on tuition that families pay out of pocket.
Rossignol, who operates Miss Jordyn’s Child Care and Preschool, has seen at least 20 families pull their children out of her center since the start of COVID-19 — at first because one parent left work to care for their children who attended school remotely, and now due to the economic challenges that the pandemic has caused, such as higher costs for food and gas.
Although at least a dozen home-based daycares exist within Caribou, they are licensed for fewer than 20 children, making Rossignol’s the only public daycare with a capacity of more than 100. With 106 children, Rossignol is operating at her center’s capacity.
The number of home-based child care centers in Maine dropped 27.5 percent during the COVID pandemic, decreasing access overall.
Recently, Rossignol held a roundtable discussion that included school officials, Maine Senate President Troy Jackson and Maine Department of Education Commissioner Pender Makin. The group explored how they could collaborate with Rossignol to offer daily child care services at Caribou Community School, the SAD 39 district’s pre-K to grade 8 school.
The Caribou school district would provide daycare space and licensed teachers, ed techs and social workers that the district already employs, Superintendent Tim Doak said. Rossignol’s staff would benefit from the same early childhood training as RSU 39 employees.
That type of partnership would benefit parents and children, Doak said. More parents could return to the workforce without the stress of paying tuition, while their children gain quality early education.
“For the longest time, we have thought of child care as babysitting services, but it’s about getting kids ready for school,” Doak said.
Doak’s district has seen firsthand how lack of access to child care prevents many parents from staying in the workforce.
“We almost lost a science teacher this year because of that,” he said.
Rossignol and Doak are not alone in their concerns. Last year, the pair organized two community meetings in Fort Fairfield, where Doak is also district superintendent, to gauge support for a new early childhood center there.
Those conversations have since died down and might not continue if the Fort Fairfield district doesn’t find a way to build a center with little or no reliance on local taxpayers. For any child care partnership to succeed, the program would need reliable state funding sources, Rossignol said.
The group hopes to tap into newly established state resources, including Gov. Janet Mills’ Maine Jobs and Recovery Plan. The plan includes $25 million dedicated to helping child care programs renovate, expand or build new facilities.
The Maine DOE, which recently rolled out a first round of ARPA-funded pre-K monies, is exploring ways to help districts like Caribou that want to create public child care partnerships, Commissioner Makin said Thursday while visiting Aroostook County.
Rossignol hopes that this time the connections she has made result in more than just conversations.
“We need to find a concrete solution before it’s too late,” she said. | https://www.bangordailynews.com/2022/07/22/news/aroostook/aroostook-child-care-shortage-solutions-joam40zk0w/ | 2022-07-22T07:59:51Z | https://www.bangordailynews.com/2022/07/22/news/aroostook/aroostook-child-care-shortage-solutions-joam40zk0w/ | true |

BANGKOK (AP) — Asian shares were mixed Friday after another day of gains on Wall Street amid a deluge of news about the economy, interest rates and corporate profits.
Tokyo, Shanghai and Hong Kong gained while Sydney and Seoul declined. U.S. futures edged lower while oil prices rose.
A preliminary reading on factory activity for Japan showed output and new orders contracting to their worst levels in months. Companies blamed shortages of raw materials and rising costs, but demand may be weakening as the country endures yet another wave of coronavirus outbreaks, economists said.
July's purchasing manager indexes “suggest that the manufacturing sector is slowing as demand weakens, while the latest COVID-19 is starting to hit the service sector," Marcel Thieliant of Capital Economics said in a commentary.
Japan reported its inflation rose at a slower pace in June, with food prices growing 6.5% year-on-year compared to 12.3% in May and the increase in energy costs falling to 16.5% from 20.8%. Core inflation excluding volatile energy and food prices rose to 2.6% from 2.2% the month before.
The Bank of Japan has indicated that unlike the Federal Reserve and other central banks, however, it does not intend to raise its minus 0.1% benchmark interest rate to counter the trend given that wages are not rising in tandem with prices, constraining consumer demand.
Tokyo's Nikkei 225 index gained 0.4% to 27,914.66, while the Hang Seng in Hong Kong added 0.3% to 20,624.18. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 lost less than 0.1% to 6,791.50.
In South Korea, the Kospi declined 0.6% to 2,393.14. The Shanghai Composite index edged 0.1% higher to 3,274.15.
Much of the focus this week has been on Europe. The European Central Bank opted, as expected, to raise its key interest rate Thursday, ending a yearslong experiment with negative interest rates. It was its first increase in 11 years.
A key pipeline carrying Russian natural gas into the region reopened, though at 40% of capacity as worries persisted that Moscow may restrict supplies to punish allies of Ukraine. In Italy, Premier Mario Draghi resigned after his ruling coalition fell apart. That adds more uncertainty as Europe contends with the war in Ukraine, high inflation and the potential for trouble in Europe’s bond markets.
On Wall Street, the S&P 500 climbed 1% to 3,998.95 on Thursday, returning to its highest level in six weeks. The Dow rose 0.5% to 32,036.90 and the Nasdaq rose 1.4% to 12,059.61.
The Russell 2000 gained 0.5%, at 1,836.69.
Stocks briefly lost ground after President Joe Biden tested positive for COVID.
The Federal Reserve is set to raise rates next week for a fourth time this year, once again trying to tamp down high inflation without pulling the economy into a recession.
Some parts of the U.S. economy already have begun to soften.
The number of workers who filed for unemployment benefits last week was the highest in eight months, though it remains relatively low. A separate report released Thursday showed manufacturing in the mid-Atlantic region weakened much more than economists had expected.
Strong profits from big U.S. companies have driven gains on Wall Street this week.
Tesla climbed 9.8% in the first trading after the electric-vehicle maker reported results for the spring that were better than analysts expected. It was the biggest gainer in the S&P 500.
Stocks of energy companies also fell as the price of U.S. crude oil settled 3.5% lower.

`Great strides´ made in match-day experience for LGBGT+ supporters at Liverpool
Founder of LGBGT+ Liverpool supporters’ group Kop Outs Paul Amann believes “great strides” have been made in their match-day experience and admits his ultimate goal would be for the organisation to cease to exist.
Amann set up the group in 2016 following five years as the LGBGT+ representative on the club’s supporters’ committee but would happily see it disbanded because there was no longer a need for its services.
His work and promotion of the issues for Kop Outs may have led to online death threats but he believes thanks to the full backing of the club the situation in real life is markedly improved.
Amann still remembers the “gut punch” of the Kop singing an offensive homophobic chant when former beloved striker Fernando Torres returned to the club for the first time with Chelsea in 2011.
Only last August that song was still an issue, with Norwich’s on-loan Blues midfielder Billy Gilmour targeted at Carrow Road, but the subsequent positive was a meeting with Jurgen Klopp and the unequivocal support of the Reds boss.
And Amann believes that reached more people than traditional means ever could as a Kop Outs statement denouncing the chant had received a “50-50” response.

“There was a lot of pushback, saying it was ‘only banter’ and ‘nothing to do with homophobia’,” he told the PA news agency.
“The club reached out and the outcome of that interview with Jurgen from the social media side was dramatic – we saw a switch (in favour) to 90 percent.
“At the next match at home to Chelsea there were sporadic outbreaks of the offensive chant but that was then shut down by fellow fans.
“I’ve been approached scores of times over the last year by regular fans who have said ‘Thank you for doing what you did with Jurgen, I was at that match and I tapped someone on the shoulder’.
“Fans were genuinely being empowered and that is what we want, we don’t want to prosecute our way out of the situation.”
It is a far cry from 11 years ago when the former Kop idol Torres returned just six days after completing his move to Stamford Bridge.
“Great strides have been made and there is still some work to do and we are not complacent,” Amman added.
“I remember seeing a huge swathe of the Kop ‘welcome’ Torres back to Anfield with that offensive chant and it was a bit of a gut punch, to be frank.
“I was there with my mate for her first Anfield match; she is a lesbian who is quite an activist herself and the two of us looked at each other thinking ‘This isn’t You’ll Never Walk Alone, this is something completely opposite.
“I’ve never heard that level of homophobia since as we started to engage with Spirit of Shankly and other fans groups and social media associated with the club.
“There is clearly a declining trend of homophobic behaviour at Anfield.
“Eventually I’d like to see a day when we don’t have a Kop Outs, when we don’t have any need to have an organisation such as ours which tries to advocate to improve the experience at the match.
“That would be the ultimate goal.”
As part of the city’s Pride celebrations the LFC Foundation will host its biggest Pride football tournament at the Anfield Sports and Community Centre on Saturday and Liverpool staff and supporters will take part in the ‘March with Pride’ taking place in the city next weekend. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-11038679/Great-strides-match-day-experience-LGBGT-supporters-Liverpool.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-07-22T08:20:03Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-11038679/Great-strides-match-day-experience-LGBGT-supporters-Liverpool.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false |
Nord Stream flows stable, Eastbound Yamal flows decline
LONDON, July 22 (Reuters) - Physical flows of Russian gas through Nord Stream 1 pipeline to Germany remained stable on Friday, while eastbound gas flows via the Yamal-Europe pipeline to Poland from Germany declined, operators' data showed.
On the Nord Stream AG website, physical flows were at 29,191,527 kWh/h for 0700-0800 CET (0500-0600 GMT), compared with levels around 29,000,000 kWh/h the previous day.
The pipeline, which accounts for more than a third of Russian gas exports to the European Union, resumed on Thursday after a 10-day outage due to maintenance.
While flows remained at pre-maintenance level of 40% capacity, concerns about full halt of Russian flows via the pipeline remain due to political uncertainty.
Eastbound gas flows via the Yamal-Europe pipeline to Poland from Germany declined on Friday morning, data from pipeline operator Gascade showed.
Exit flows at the Mallnow metering point on the German border stood at 2,652,767 kWh/h versus levels around 3,911,000 kWh/h the previous day.
Nominations for Russian gas flows into Slovakia from Ukraine via the Velke Kapusany border point remained steady on Friday and stood at 36.9 million cubic metres (mcm) per day, unchanged from the previous day, data from the Ukrainian transmission system operator showed.
Gazprom said its supply of gas to Europe through Ukraine via the Sudzha entry point was expected at 41.9 mcm on Friday, down slightly from 42.2 mcm a day earlier.

Spain says ECB's tool to control government bond spreads are 'appropriate'
MADRID, July 22 (Reuters) - Spain's Economy Minister Nadia Calvino said that the European Central Bank's tools to try to keep government bond spreads down are adequate.
"The tools the ECB is using right now and has announced it will keep on using are appropriate for now," she said in an interview on TVE station.
The ECB announced on Thursday its new Transmission Protection Instrument (TPI), which will let it buy bonds from indebted countries such as Italy to cap any excessive rise in their borrowing costs, helping limit financial fragmentation within the euro zone.
Calvino added that she expected inflation, which is running at its highest rate in three decades, to remain high in Spain in July.

Dover traffic: Port declares critical incident over long queues
- Published
The Port of Dover has declared a "critical incident" due to five-hour queues leading to the ferry terminal.
Chief executive Doug Bannister said the port had been "badly let down" by the French border controls.
He told BBC Radio Kent they were "insufficiently resourced" in France and working slower than normal, causing traffic to queue for miles.
Travellers, some with young children, say they have barely moved for hours as they approach the port.
National Highways said the weekend was expected to be one of the busiest periods of the year for holidaymakers.
The Port has accused the French authorities of ruining the summer getaway for thousands of families.
It is understood only six of the 12 passport booths run by the French authorities at Dover are currently open.
Holidaymakers booked on sailings from Dover have reported being stuck in five-hour queues to complete border checks before they can check in for their ferry.
The port said in a statement it had made "significant investment" to increase its capacity, and shared traffic volume forecasts "in granular detail with the French authorities".
Eurotunnel is not affected, but it will not have capacity to take any passengers from Dover.
With most schools in England and Wales breaking up for summer this week, the RAC said an estimated 18.8 million leisure trips were planned in the UK between Friday and Monday.
That is the most since the company began tracking summer getaway numbers in 2014.
The Port said: "The Dover route remains the most popular sea route to France and France remains one of the key holiday destinations for British families.
"We know that resource is finite, but the popularity of Dover is not a surprise. Regrettably, the PAF [police aux frontieres] resource has been insufficient and has fallen far short of what is required to ensure a smooth first weekend of the peak summer getaway period."
'Zero movement' in Dover
One traveller posted on Twitter: "I'm booked onto 8am ferry from Dover and it's total gridlock. Moved 50 metres per hour.
"At this rate it'll be 34 hours before I get to the port.
"I have a screaming toddler and three-month-old."
Another person attempting to make the Channel crossing said they had been "waiting five hours and still not in the port".
They added: "Sat in lanes waiting to get to border control. Zero movement."
Ferry operator P&O Ferries has advised passengers: "There are currently queues in excess of four hours to reach the border controls.
"Our check-in remains free flowing and once you reach us, we will put you on the first available sailing.
"Please arrive prepared for a prolonged wait. Carry snacks and additional water with you."
The UK government has blamed French authorities for the delays at Dover.
Europe minister Graham Stewart said some disruption was inevitable because of the scale of traffic.
He said that it was not a Border Force issue - but one for French authorities.
Mr Stewart said: "It's their ability to cope and process people that is causing the backlog."
He said French authorities had added extra booths to process passengers - and that UK ministers had been in touch with French counterparts in recent days.
A spokesman for the Port of Dover said: "We will continue to work with all Kent partners to look after those caught up in the current situation, which could and should have been avoided, and play our part in resolving it as soon as possible.
"Working with and through the UK government, we will also liaise constructively with PAF to work through the present logjam and to stress again the importance of adequate French border resource for the coming days and weeks."

INDIANA, USA — As families check off their back-to-school to-do lists, the Indiana Department of Health is making sure parents remember those required vaccines for students.
Officials say Indiana school children going into kindergarten, sixth grade and 12th grade are required to get age-specific vaccines prior to the start of the school year.
Health leaders have launched a campaign to make it easier for students to get those immunizations. It is called "Start Smart!"
With dozens of immunization clinics across central Indiana, this campaign offers routine vaccinations for babies, children and teens.
There is a digital interactive map that shows when and where each clinic will be held, along with how families can schedule an appointment.
At some locations, walk-up appointments are also accepted.
Marion County is offering 20 clinics this summer, in addition to vaccinations at primary care offices and the Marion County Health Department.
There are two upcoming clinics in Marion County:
- July 23 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Emma Donnan School
- July 23 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Shalom Health Fair
The CDC recommends different vaccinations for different age groups.

Sabotaged democracy
The following is a quote from the book "Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents," written by Isabel Wilkerson. In this quote, she is referring to Adolf Hitler; however, if you replace "Hitler" with "Trump," it would seem she is writing about our former president.
"By the time they [Germans] recognized their fatal miscalculation, it was too late. Hitler had risen as an outside agitator, a cult figure enamored of pageantry and rallies ... . Hitler saw himself as the voice of the Volk [common people], of their grievances and fears, especially those in the rural districts, as a god-chosen savior, running on instinct. He had never held elected office before."
Additionally, Tim Duff with the LA Progressive writes, "The American people are very much like the children of a mafia boss, who don't want to know what their father does for a living, and then wonder why the firebombs of injustice are being thrown through the windows of Congress and their living rooms."
Let us resolve to never give Donald Trump another chance to sabotage our democracy.

Valued and respected
Earl Babbie's opinion piece, "Not so small," hit home for me. Recently, I reread "1984" and viewed once again "Schindler's List," and felt a chill of revulsion both times. I asked, "Why do I feel like these stories are not distant at all? Why do I sense that similar sentiments are afoot in contemporary America?"
Big Brother and Goldstein seem nearby. Denying women an important personal health right without adequate consideration for the complexity of human decision-making (and I do agree with President Clinton who said that abortion should safe and legal and rare). Video cameras in classrooms to ensure compliance with questionable, maybe narrow-minded standards. Hypocrisy has forever been abundant, but in this era of "me, myself, and I," sanctimony and intolerance seem to be on almost every corner.
The "Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave." Do we live in a nation (I believe the greatest on Earth) where differences of opinion can be valued, respected, and discussed openly in the public square? A land where civil debate can lead to intelligent conclusions, and where sometimes I win and sometimes I lose. And I have the courage and integrity to muster persuasive arguments rather than resort to name-calling, anger, and derogation of the other.
President George W. Bush's collection of paintings exhibited at his Presidential Center in Dallas speaks volumes to me. "Out of Many, One." That's us. Diversity, conviction, tolerance, disagreement, and more can define us. For the sake of our republic and our sanity, they must.

Some random thought
Almost 50,000 square miles of American farmland is used to grow corn for the government-required gasoline additive known as ethanol. It takes about two acres of land to create one gallon of ethanol. Meanwhile, researchers at the National Academy of Sciences state that when land conversion and the production processes are all considered, ethanol is a far greater contributor to global warming than straight gasoline, and likely 24 percent more carbon-intensive than gasoline. And our climate activist President Joe Biden wants to increase the amount of ethanol used in gasoline, believing it will lower the cost of gas at the pump. He apparently doesn't know what comes out of either side of his mouth.
While electric vehicles are quite the vogue, talking about the archaic power grid that charges them remains highly unfashionable. Let's be honest about the elephant in the room.
I believe President Joe Biden is mentally unfit. He is not qualified to be president of the United States of America. This is not news. This is common knowledge. But like all elephants in the room, they are invisible to polite eyes. Pardon my impoliteness.
The American Psychological Association says 85 percent of video games contain violence. The American Academy of Family Physicians says 91 percent of TV movies contain violence. CBS News reports that 90 percent of top-grossing movies in the last 25 years contain at least one violent character. Do you think that factors into the level of violence in our cities today? Please don't answer that. Someone might disagree. And shoot you.
Have you noticed car and truck dealers are no longer screaming prices in their TV and radio commercials? They're probably embarrassed.

Pupils need support
The Arkansas Legislature apparently wants to spend unspent covid educational funding on teacher recruitment and salaries. As a retired Arkansas public school teacher with 38 years of experience in three states and overseas for DoDDS, one of the most significant changes that I witnessed in teaching young students was the breakdown of family structure and support.
Please spend some of this one-time allotment of funding for mental health support and student counseling services. There was an excellent article in Wednesday's paper related to this need, and it seems that part of this covid funding being available for schools at this time is heaven-sent.

Teacher recruitment scam | ED officials raid residences of two Bengal Ministers
Kolkata July 22, 2022 14:07 ISTBengal Ministers Partha Chatterjee and Paresh Adhikari’s residences were raided as part of CBI’s probe into a teacher recruitment scam
A team of Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials raided the residences of Bengal Ministers Partha Chatterjee and Paresh Adhikari on Friday as part of its probe into a teacher recruitment scam, a source in the agency said.
At least seven to eight ED personnel arrived at Mr. Chatterjee's Naktala residence here around 8.30 a.m., and carried out searches till 11 a.m. with CRPF personnel keeping guard outside, the source said.
Another team of agency officials visited Mr. Adhikari’s home at Mekhliganj in Coochbehar district and talked to his family members, he stated.
According to the ED source, officials had also carried out a simultaneous raid at the residence of the former chairman of the West Bengal Board of Primary Education, Manik Bhattacharya, in the Jadavpur area of the city.
The CBI, as directed by the High Court, is looking into the alleged irregularities committed in the recruitment of Group-C and D staff as well as teachers in government-sponsored and –aided schools on recommendations of the West Bengal School Service Commission. The ED is tracking the money trail in the scam.
Mr. Chatterjee, currently Industries and Commerce Minister, held the education portfolio when the scam was allegedly pulled off. He was interrogated by the CBI twice, once on April 26 and then on May 18.
Mr. Adhikari, the Minister of State (MoS) for Education, had also been grilled by the CBI with his daughter losing her job as school teacher. He told reporters he could not get in touch with his family over the phone.
"They did not intimate us about the visit to our house today. I am in Kolkata in connection with the July 21 Martyrs’ Day rally of the TMC. Had I been around, I would have treated them to muri (puffed rice),” he said.
The TMC, meanwhile, described the concerted raids as “ploy” by the BJP government at the Centre to harass political opponents.
"This raid by ED, a day after the spectacular Martyrs’ Day rally that created ripples all over the country, is nothing but an attempt to harass and intimidate leaders of the TMC. The CBI has already interrogated them (ministers) as part of a court directive and they are cooperating. Now, the ED is being invoked only to discredit them. The money laundering issue is being invented by the BJP," Transport Minister Firhad Hakim said.
The BJP, however, maintained that the TMC aided large-scale anomalies in the recruitment process of teachers at primary, upper primary and secondary level since coming to power.
"TMC leaders and people close to them duped lakhs of qualified youths and handed over their jobs to ineligible ones. The CBI and ED are progressing on right path. More skeletons will tumble out of the cupboard. The BJP has no role to play in the issue," the saffron party’s national vice-president, Dilip Ghosh, added. | https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/other-states/teacher-recruitment-scam-ed-officials-raid-residences-of-two-bengal-ministers/article65670080.ece/amp/ | 2022-07-22T09:05:38Z | https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/other-states/teacher-recruitment-scam-ed-officials-raid-residences-of-two-bengal-ministers/article65670080.ece/amp/ | true |

Monkeypox: Vaccination programme to be stepped up in London
- Published
The NHS is to step up its monkeypox vaccination programme in London, as more supplies of the jab are available.
On Tuesday, health officials said 100,000 more doses of an effective immunisation had been bought.
More than 2,000 cases of the infection have been confirmed in England, with most of them in the capital.
Thousands more Londoners who are eligible for the jab will be invited to be vaccinated, but NHS England said people should wait to be contacted.
London is to receive additional doses of the existing supply of the vaccine in an effort to break chains of transmission as quickly as possible, officials said.
While anyone can get monkeypox, the majority of cases in the UK continue to be in gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men.
Steve Russell, NHS director of vaccinations, said it was "vital that those who are most likely to get the virus get vaccinated as quickly as possible".
He added: "Thousands more people will be invited very shortly with the number of clinics expanded too, and as we have done with the most successful Covid vaccination programme in history, the NHS will leave no stone unturned in ensuring everyone who is eligible can get protected.
"We are asking people to wait to be contacted and to come forward at the earliest opportunity possible when invited to get vaccinated."
In London, there are more than 18 clinics offering vaccinations, including Dean Street sexual health clinic in Soho, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, Guy's Hospital in Southwark, Mortimer Market Centre in Camden and Barking Hospital Outpatient Centre East.

You might have noticed that June was LGBT+ Pride month.
LGBT+ Pride is something I always look forward to.
I love the affirmation it gives me. I love being around other members of my community.
I get (happily) emotional about the progress we have made, while remaining mindful of the distance we still have to go.
It was only while I was scrolling Twitter that I saw some mention of a Disability Pride Month, that takes place in July.
And the term ‘Disability Pride’ didn’t land easily with me.
Neither did a lot of the videos that I found, featuring disabled people talking about how and why they were proud to be disabled.
I couldn’t identify with any of that.
I love being LGBT+ but being disabled has only had a negative impact on my life.
As I lose my sight, due to a condition called retinitis pigmentosa, I also lose the ability to enjoy many of the things I loved.
No more live theatre, art gallery visits, sports, or visiting new places without the accompanying anxiety.
the amount of disabled people i’ve seen sharing horrific experiences of inaccessibility over the last few weeks is heartbreaking.
and yet people still can’t recognise the need for disability pride month.
— Ru 🌸 cripfluencer ✨ (@chr0nicallycute) July 17, 2022
On a good day I’m experiencing disability resilience, on a middling one I’m living disability resignation, and on a bad I feel disability resentful.
Pride isn’t a thing that I have ever associated with being disabled.
Retinitis pigmentosa has shaken my perception of myself
Returning to a degree of office-based working has amplified the extent to which my eyesight has deteriorated during lockdown without me being entirely aware of the impact that was having on me.
Navigating spaces outside of my home and the local shop again has been tough.
I gradually noticed how exhausted I was making myself by trying not to seem ‘too blind’ around colleagues.
I have been fiercely independent since I was roughly four years old.
I was neither a mummy’s nor a daddy’s girl.
I was always my own, and retinitis pigmentosa has shaken my own perception of myself.
I have injured myself countless times trying to wing it.
I have only recently started learning to swallow that thing they call ‘pride’ and ask for assistance.
“Use your words,” is a phrase occupational therapists, guide dog mobility instructors, support workers, and friends have repeated to me hundreds of times.
And I am only just now starting to learn to do it.
I’m working on myself, but on a societal level there is so much that we have to do.
Discrimination is nothing to be proud of
At a recent employment-focused disability webinar hosted by Radical Recruit, I listened to person after person talk about the battle they have had in trying to get the support they needed from their employers.
One of the speakers, Jim Bensted, a former assessor for Access to Work talked about how he tries to urge employers and employees to think about support in the workplace as being less about making ‘reasonable adjustments’, and more about providing someone with the tools to do their job.
It feels like the most positive, and helpful, perspective from all sides.
People who have the right tools to do their jobs are obviously more likely to do them well.
Happy Disability Pride Month.
Did you know we have our own flag?
Green for sensory disabilities
Blue for mental illness
White for invisible illness
Yellow for neurodivergance
Red for physical disabilities and
Black for all those that lost their lives because of a disability pic.twitter.com/BI9Mb7niFw— Darkholeson (@darkholeson) July 15, 2022
And yet people reported being told that having this support in place would be unfair on non-disabled colleagues, being tasked to find and implement the solutions themselves, and being made to feel like they were a burden on the basis of their disability.
It comes as no surprise then that disabled people are far less likely to be in paid employment than non-disabled people or that we are almost twice as likely to live in poverty.
It isn’t uncommon for the suggestion to be made that we should be willing to work for lower wages because we are intrinsically less valuable.
None of this is ok; none if it is anything to be proud of.
Talking about issues can only be a good thing
I’m lucky. In my workplace my colleagues offer me assistance, support, and are backed up by workplace policies that are in place to ensure that no disabled person is left behind.
Yes, there are things that are sometimes missed or done in a way that isn’t ideal.
But I feel confident that I can raise these and they will be addressed professionally, and with respect for my dignity.
Not everyone has that, of course, but we are on a journey, and I think we are making some (slow) progress.
It made me think that, for me, Disability Pride Month is less about disabled people per se, and more about those – who may or may not be disabled – who have, and do, work to make the small changes, that deliver a world of difference.
I still think it needs renaming and reframing, but at least it got me thinking, talking and writing about some of the things that matter, and that can only be a good thing.

The Omicron BA.5 sub-variant is driving the current wave in New Zealand, which has 5.1 million people. There have been 64,780 active cases in the past seven days, although authorities say many infections are unreported.
Wellington: New Zealanders are dying from Covid-19 at record rates as the country battles a new wave of the Omicron strain that is particularly affecting the older population.
Deaths from the virus reached 151 in the seven days to July 16, compared with 115 in the worst week of the previous wave, in March, according to Health Ministry data. In the latest 24 hours, 26 people died from Covid, all aged over 60, the ministry said in a statement on Friday.
The Omicron BA.5 sub-variant is driving the current wave in New Zealand, which has 5.1 million people. There have been 64,780 active cases in the past seven days, although authorities say many infections are unreported.
Once regarded as a model for preventing Covid infection, New Zealand's swift response to the pandemic and its geographic isolation kept it largely free from the virus until the end of last year.
The government dropped its zero-Covid policy this year once the population was largely vaccinated. Since then the virus has been allowed to spread.
Emergency departments, general practices and medical centres are under pressure. However, Health Ministry data shows hospitalisation levels remain below those seen during the March peak.
The government is resisting pressure from some doctors to reinstate curbs on public gatherings or mandate the wearing of masks at schools.
However, Education Ministry chief Iona Holsted said on Thursday the ministry had advised schools to enforce the wearing of masks as much as practicable when children returned from holidays next week.
"We understand that implementing mask policies can be a challenge but ask that you take action to strengthen your mask wearing policy as soon as possible," she said. | https://health.economictimes.indiatimes.com/amp/news/industry/new-zealand-covid-19-death-rate-at-record-levels/93048288 | 2022-07-22T09:31:30Z | https://health.economictimes.indiatimes.com/amp/news/industry/new-zealand-covid-19-death-rate-at-record-levels/93048288 | true |
FARNBOROUGH – Maverick’s next wingman could be a drone.
In the movies, fighter pilots are depicted as highly trained military aviators with the skills and experience to defeat adversaries in thrilling aerial dogfights.
New technologies, though, are set to redefine what it means to be a “Top Gun," as algorithms, data and machines take on a bigger role in the cockpit — changes hinted at in “Top Gun: Maverick.”
“A lot of people talk about, you know, the way of the future, possibly taking the pilot out of the aircraft," said 1st Lt. Walker Gall, an F-35 pilot with the U.S. 48th Fighter Wing based at RAF Lakenheath in England. “That’s definitely not something that any of us look forward to.”
“I’d like to keep my job as long as possible, but I mean, it’s hard to argue with newer and newer technology," he said. “And if that’s the way of the future, that’s what it is. But I’m just here to enjoy it while I can.”
The future for fighter pilots was on display this week at the Farnborough International Airshow near London, one of the world’s biggest aviation, defense and aerospace expos.
Defense contractors outlined how artificial intelligence and other technologies will be used in the newest warplanes as global military delegations browsed mockups of missiles, drones and fighter jets. At stake are many billions of dollars as countries update military fleets or pump up defense procurement budgets amid rising geopolitical tensions.
The original “Top Gun” movie released in 1986 follows Tom Cruise’s hot-shot Navy pilot, Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, through fighter weapons training school. In the sequel, an aging Maverick, now a test pilot, learns the top secret hypersonic plane he's working on is being canceled so the funding can be used for a pilotless drone program.
It's a debate that's been playing out for years in the real world. Drones have been used extensively in the war between Russia and Ukraine and other modern conflicts, raising the question of just how much need there is for human pilots to fly expensive fighter jets and other aircraft — or whether unmanned aerial vehicles could do the job.
At the Farnborough show, experts said the future of air warfare is likely to be manned and unmanned aircraft working together.
One day, fighter pilots will “have a drone aircraft that’s flying as a loyal wingman” under their control, said Jon Norman, a vice president at Raytheon Technologies Corp.'s missile and defense business.
Norman, a retired U.S. Air Force pilot, said he used to complain about drones controlled from the ground that got in his way when he was flying fighter jets.
The latest communications systems let fighters, drones and other aircraft talk to each other, he said.
Technology has already removed the need for a second person to sit in the backseat to work the radar — a role portrayed in the original “Top Gun” movie by the character Goose.
It will continue to play a bigger role in the cockpit, Raytheon executives said. Artificial intelligence will analyze reams of data from sensors placed on planes, drones, the ground or missiles flying through the air to give pilots in the sky and commanders back at headquarters a better sense of the battlefield.
In future battles, AI might allow a pilot to send an armed drone close to an enemy position “and have them just fire at will,” Norman added.
But it's too soon to write an epitaph for the pilot.
“If we had had this conversation 20 years ago, almost everyone was certain that some (drones) would be serving in a combat aircraft replacement role. That simply hasn’t happened," said Richard Aboulafia, managing director at consultancy AeroDynamic Advisory.
Nowadays, he said, drones mainly support manned military aircraft, which “allows them to get out there with a greater combat aircraft punch.”
There was speculation that the F-35 fighter, which went into operation in 2015, would be the last manned fighter jet, said Gareth Jennings, aviation editor at defense intelligence provider Janes. “But no one says that anymore.”
The F-35, built by Lockheed Martin Corp., is a stealthy fighter part of today's generation of warplanes. There is a next generation of fighter jets in the concept stages offering even more high-tech advances, including potentially pilotless versions, but they won't arrive before the next decade at the earliest.
Gall, who recently graduated from fighter pilot training school, said the F-35 is easy to fly and that technology would likely make its successors even easier. But he stressed that the fighter pilot's role would remain intense.
Even if that role isn't going away anytime soon, the Pentagon is working on transforming it.
The Air Combat Evolution program, run by the Pentagon's DARPA research agency, is working on incorporating artificial intelligence into warfighting, including designing a plane that can fly itself in a dogfight.
The program has already carried out a live simulation of air combat, pitting a virtual plane piloted by an AI agent against a human pilot. If all goes well, researchers plan to carry out a live dogfight with AI-enabled planes by 2024.
Experts, though, are skeptical pilots will be eliminated from the cockpit in the near future.
“I don’t think we’ll be at the stage of not needing fighter pilots for a few decades yet,” said Jennings, the aviation editor. “Unmanned technology and the public willingness to accept not having a human in the loop are just not there, and won’t be for at least another 30 years or so."

Import of medical devices up by record 41 pc in FY22: AiMeD
India’s top five medical device import sources have been China, USA, Germany, Singapore and the Netherlands which together account for Rs 37,519 crore, or 68 per cent, of the total value of imports.
New Delhi: Imports of medical devices are up by record 41 per cent at Rs 63,200 crore in 2021-22 from Rs 44,708 crore in 2020-21 as per the Commerce Ministry data analysed by the Association of Indian Medical Device Industry (AiMeD).
Speaking on the rise in imports of medical devices, Rajiv Nath, forum coordinator, AiMeD said, “NITI Aayog and the Department of Pharmaceuticals recognises that Indian manufacturers have a 12-15 per cent disability factor in manufacturing medical devices in India. We urge the Government to neutralise this disability for reduction of medical devices imports in India as was in the case of consumer electronics, including mobile phones and even in the toy industry. At present, the duty on Chinese imports ranges mostly from zero to 10 per cent, but the bulk of the items are in the 7.5 per cent category and one item at 25 per cent.”
“It’s a very alarming situation as the increase has been five-fold over a six-year period as India imported Rs 12,866 crore worth of medical devices in 2016-17,” he added.
AiMeD’s analysis shows India’s top five medical device import sources have been China, USA, Germany, Singapore and the Netherlands which together account for Rs 37,519 crore, or 68 per cent, of the total value of imports. It’s discouraging for the local industry players as this has led to several small and medium units to shut shop.
With Government's push to make India ‘Aatmanirbhar’ in medical device manufacturing during the pandemic several local units started making masks, PPE kits, thermometers, and gloves as there was very high demand. AiMeD pointed out that from 1,200 units, the numbers had gone up to 1,800 during the peak of the pandemic. Slowly, units started to shut down as imports from China kept on rising and now there are estimated 1,500 such units, while many more are on the verge of closing down.
AiMed pointed out that among the six major categories of medical devices like consumables, disposables, electronics and equipment, implants, IVD reagent and surgical instruments that are imported, the growth has been the highest in the ‘electronics and equipment’ category. India imported Rs 40,649 crore worth of medical devices that come under this category in 2021-22 against an import worth Rs 4,569 crore in 2016-17.

The growing anti-diabetes market, valued at about Rs 17,000 crore, is set to witness action with generic versions of US firm Merck’s blockbuster Januvia being launched, reducing the cost of therapy by a third. This is on the heels of Sitagliptin, a relatively newer but vital anti-diabetic drug, losing patent protection in July. | https://health.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/medical-devices/import-of-medical-devices-up-by-record-41-pc-in-fy22-aimed/93048806 | 2022-07-22T09:32:53Z | https://health.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/medical-devices/import-of-medical-devices-up-by-record-41-pc-in-fy22-aimed/93048806 | false |
An eight-year-old girl has become the youngest person to name the capital city and currency of every country in the world.
Anne Winston, from Cardiff, broke the world record for reciting the details of all 195 countries in seven minutes and 15 seconds.
The year three pupil, from Pontprennau Primary School, said her interest was piqued five years ago when her father began telling her about different countries around the globe on their journeys to and from nursery.
Anne was three at the time, and as she moved from nursery to school she began to teach herself.
She said: “My learning was quite casual, initially on a weekly basis where I used to spend 15 to 20 minutes learning a new set of capitals and currencies.
“Towards the end, I was practising on a daily basis.”
Anne beat the previous 10-year-old record holder in a live-streamed event organised by OMG Book of World Records.
She said she was “delighted” and dedicated the achievement to her grandfather who died recently.
Her parents, Winston Jacob and Jincy Winston, said: “From a very young age we noticed Anne had a talent for retaining information and all we did was further feed into that.
“At no point in our journey till now did we even dream of attempting a world record, let alone achieving it.
“Words cannot describe our emotions and joy and we truly hope that this leads to her achieving greater heights in the future.”
Pontprennau headteacher Ian James said: “Anne is an incredible young girl who adores all aspects of her learning. Her world record demonstrates her superb memory skills and general knowledge.
“It is a privilege to have Anne as one of our pupils.” | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/uk-world/3516013/anne-eight-breaks-record-by-naming-every-capital-and-currency-in-the-world/ | 2022-07-22T09:34:55Z | https://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/uk-world/3516013/anne-eight-breaks-record-by-naming-every-capital-and-currency-in-the-world/ | false |
Which portable generator is best for tailgating?
Not everyone needs electricity for a tailgating party, but for those who want to make the most out of their experience, a small and convenient generator can do the trick. Whether you need the power to string some lights, use a slow cooker, listen to music, run a space heater, plug in a coffee maker or even set up a TV to watch some pregame highlights, there is a generator to meet your needs.
Before choosing the best model for your tailgating style, you’ll want to consider some key factors such as fuel type, power, noise and important features.
What to know before choosing a tailgating generator
Gas-powered vs. battery-powered
The first step is to decide whether you’ll need a gas-powered portable generator or a battery-powered generator.
Gas-powered options usually offer significantly more power and won’t quit on you as long as you keep adding fuel. They do, however, produce exhaust fumes and create much more noise than battery-powered generators.
Battery-powered and solar-powered models are quiet, better for the environment and require little maintenance when compared to their gas counterparts. However, you won’t receive as much power to run certain devices or equipment, and the lifespan of your battery will be somewhat limited. For solar-powered generators, their functionality is dependent on access to the sun.
Wattage
Once you know what appliances and devices you’ll want to plug into your generator, you can calculate the total wattage you’ll need to adequately power your tailgating setup. It is always a smart idea to choose a portable generator with a slightly higher wattage rating than you think you’ll need.
Size
Seeing as you’ll be needing to transport your portable generator to and from your tailgating site, choose a model that isn’t too large or heavy to move from place to place. Larger models may come equipped with wheels, but can be harder to fit in your vehicle.
Noise
Gas-powered generators produce more noise than battery-powered or solar options. If you don’t want to listen to the sound of the motor running all day long, look for a quiet model. Quieter options are also less likely to disturb others nearby.
Safety
Always be sure to read all safety instructions and guidelines before using a portable generator. Gas-powered generators should not be used indoors or in confined areas. You should also be careful not to overload your generator by plugging in more devices than it can handle.

The new Head Football Coach for the Duke Blue Devils Mike Elko joined Kyle Bailey on Thursday’s edition of The Clubhouse to preview his first season at Duke, and the foundation he wants to build.
Mike started off by stating that he doesn’t think he would be at Duke if it wasn’t for the job that former Head Coach David Cutcliffe did with growing the program over the last 14 years as it has led to great investments into the program as he wants to bring a different energy to the program so they can get back to where Duke was a couple of years ago and sustain it.
Kyle then asked Mike how he infuses a new culture at Duke as he explained:
“I think you’re trying to re-energize the program. There’s a recent history that you’re drawn to that you want to look like, but you’ve got to get back to it and that’s not what it’s been over the last few years.”
When it comes to the vision of what Duke Football looks like under Mike Elko he said his vision is a team with passion, and energy, as well as showing competitiveness from start to finish, and being physical on both sides of the ball.
Things ended with the current state of the ACC as Mike knows about the situation and what could happen, but he also thinks there is a certain amount of panic that sets it in when you forget that the sport is cyclical and he thinks the conference might be more on-board with football being the main driving force of the conference.
Mike Elko: We Want A Team That Is Physical On Both Sides Of The Ball was originally published on wfnz.com | https://wzakcleveland.com/4367619/mike-elko-we-want-a-team-that-is-physical-on-both-sides-of-the-ball/ | 2022-07-22T09:55:44Z | https://wzakcleveland.com/4367619/mike-elko-we-want-a-team-that-is-physical-on-both-sides-of-the-ball/ | true |
People living in Scotland may not be aware of a Scottish Government scheme which helps provide financial support worth an average of £1,810 towards the costs of a loved one's funeral. The Funeral Support Payment can be used to help pay for the burial or cremation of a baby, child or adult in Scotland, and also includes babies who were stillborn.
The latest figures from Social Security Scotland show that since the scheme launched in September 2019, some 21,375 applications have been received. More than £25.5 million has been issued since 2019 to those eligible for financial support, with an average payment of £1,810.
Social Security Scotland aims to make a decision on claims for the support within 10 days of receiving all the evidence they need. However, it also said that this can take their specially trained team slightly longer when demand is higher.
You can apply for the payment up until six months after the date of the funeral, but if you could not make a claim for the Funeral Support Payment due to the disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic, Social Security Scotland will still accept your application.
If you've received a backdated qualifying benefit you may also have longer to apply - call Social Security Scotland on 0800 182 2222 for more information.
Below are all the details on the scheme including eligibility and how to apply.
Who can apply for a Funeral Support Payment?
You can claim for a Funeral Support Payment if all of the following apply:
you live in Scotland
you or your partner are getting certain benefits or tax credits
the person who died lived in the UK
the funeral is being held in the UK or in some circumstances in the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland
you are applying after the person has died, until six months after the date of their funeral
you or your partner are responsible for the funeral
it is reasonable for you or your partner to accept responsibility for the funeral costs
Guidance on mygov.scot states: "Usually, it is reasonable for the nearest relative of the person who died to accept responsibility for the funeral costs.
"A nearest relative could be a partner, child, parent or sibling. If you or your partner are not the nearest relative, you'll need to explain to us [Social Security Scotland] when you apply, why it's reasonable to have accepted responsibility."
Benefits and Tax Credits you or your partner must receive to qualify
You or your partner must get one or more of the following:
Child Tax Credit
Universal Credit
Income Support
Pension Credit
Working Tax Credit (disability or severe disability element)
Housing Benefit
Income-based Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA), not contribution-based JSA
Income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA), not contribution-based ESA
The guidance adds: "If you or your partner are waiting to hear about your application for one of these benefits, you can still apply for Funeral Support Payment. However, we'll only be able to let you know if you're able to get Funeral Support Payment once we know the outcome of your other benefit applications."
How to apply
Before applying for Funeral Support Payment, you should:
register the death of the person who died
check that you're eligible for Funeral Support Payment
consider giving your funeral director consent to speak with Social Security Scotland about your application
To complete this form, you will need:
your National Insurance number
details of the funeral director
any travel receipts or funeral bills you have so far
your bank account details, if you'd like Social Security Scotland to pay you and not your funeral director

Folk around here called him “Polly.” William Harrison Polsgrove lived in Tupelo a goodly portion of his life. His family buried him here in 1966 at Tupelo Memorial Gardens. Originally, he migrated from Fulton County, Kentucky.
But Polly’s story goes much deeper.
A story in the May 12, 1950, Tupelo Daily Journal, reveals a little more. Reporter Gene Gratz told the story. By the way, Gratz became a story about a decade later, and I’ll tell that one in a future column.
Back to Polly’s tale. Polly worked for 50 years for the Gulf, Mobile and Ohio Railroad as a freight agent and telegraph operator. He spent more than 29 years of that time with the GM&O here in Tupelo. Gratz interviewed Polly less than a week before he retired.
Gratz noted that once Polly retired, he would have served longer than anyone in the Okolona-Cairo, Ill., division of the GM&O. On top of that, Polly retired as the oldest telegrapher in the railroad company’s division.
Polly’s career began near his hometown of Jordan, Kentucky, in Fulton County, where he said he worked as a telegrapher for the GM&O’s mother railroad, the Mobile and Ohio at the tender age of 17. Now, ancestry.com has Polly’s birth date as May 26, 1882. That same month and year the officials of the M&O opened the final Cairo, Ill., leg of the railroad. A portion of that leg ran right through Jordan.
Remember, the M&O stood as the railroad that practically built Tupelo, coming through what would become the All-America City. Workers laid the first line in Tupelo back in 1859, a little more than a decade before Tupelo became incorporated and about seven years before the state of Mississippi carved out Lee County from portions of Itawamba and Pontotoc counties.
At the age of 24, he married Della Bellew in Hickman, Kentucky, the seat of Fulton County. He traveled up and down the railroad’s line during his career and lived in various places — including Union City, Tennessee; Jackson, Tennessee; and Murphreesboro, Illinois — and settled in Tupelo with his family in 1920.
Most of his career, Polly spent watching and working with steam locomotives. In 1949, the GM&O became the first major railroad company in North America to switch to diesel engines — the year before Polly retired. He told Gratz, “I don’t like a diesel, but there’s no use dodging the issue. They represent great progress and a tremendous saving in fuel.”
During those 50 years of working for the railroad, Polly estimated he walked about 15 miles a day. In Tupelo, he walked the railroad yard and the tracks that extended nearly two miles from the GM&O depot, which would have been just south and across the tracks from where the Tupelo Farmers’ Depot is located today.
Census data shows that Polly and his wife lived on Green Street in Tupelo after his retirement. In the years after Gratz wrote this story, two of his sisters and two of his brothers died. They either lived in Fulton County, Kentucky, or in Union City, Tennessee.
Polly died on June 20, 1966, at the age of 84, a full 16 years after he retired. His wife, Della, lived until the age of 97. She died on Oct. 21, 1979, in Tupelo. She is buried next to her husband.

BUCKTHORN CANTUS - FIVE THANDEMAIL TEXT, O.UAM002 CD ( »Trapp\") When Gwendolyn Stulgis was shopping for her wedding dress, the two most important things were the price and the cut.
After trying on different options at a bridal shop, nothing quite struck a chord with her. Just as she was about to leave, the saleswoman asked her to look at one more gown.
"The lady that was helping us had said, 'Well, hold on a second. I think I have something for you,'" Stulgis said.
"It was champagne in color. It had long sleeves, sparkly lace all over it. It had these buttons that literally started down the middle of the back, all the way down into the train, which I absolutely loved. I stood there and kind of got tears in my eyes because it really was the dress that I really wanted."
It was a bit over her budget, but after encouragement from her mother-in-law, Stulgis bought it. And after wearing the dress down the aisle, she decided it deserved a better fate than sitting in her closet collecting dust.
"I couldn't figure out quite how I was going to do it. I ended up putting something on Facebook," she said.
Stulgis was bombarded. She received more than 70 messages, with each future bride describing what receiving the dress would mean to them.
She eventually settled on a woman who lived nearby — but a movement was born. Stulgis got messages from other women who also wanted to donate their dresses, as well as those looking for a dress for their own wedding.
Stulgis created a Facebook group called "Dream Dresses." She estimates that since June, more than 200 dresses have been exchanged, and the impact of the group continues to grow.
Diana Bowman was one of the women who donated her dress through the Facebook group, and said that it gave her an opportunity to help someone else with the stress she had experienced during her dress search.
"For me, it was also a different experience because I'm a plus-sized woman and finding a wedding dress in plus sizes is really, really difficult," she said. "So if I could take that stress away from somebody by passing along a beautiful plus-sized gown, I was like, I have to do it."
Bowman donated her dress on one condition: that it continues to get passed on.
"I hope that this dress gets passed from bride to bride to bride, and it just gets worn out and is in tatters at the end of its life because of all the celebrating that's done in it," she said.

FC Barcelona have ruled out the transfer of Jules Kounde from Sevilla and believe that he has already signed for Chelsea.
The French defender is one of Xavi Hernandez's few remaining targets in the current window after the Blaugrana managed to land Raphinha from Leeds United and Robert Lewandowski from Bayern Munich last week.
Along with Manchester City's Bernardo Silva, Kounde is one of two names atop of the Catalans' shortlist, and the activation of the second economic lever worth over $400mn and officially announced on Friday morning gave hope that pursuits for both players might not be far around the corner.
As revealed by Relevo, however, president Joan Laporta ruled out an approach for Kounde once asked by a young fan if the club was going to sign him when the Barca delegation landed in Las Vegas ahead of the next friendly on their preseason tour against bitter rivals Real Madrid on Sunday.
"No, not Kounde," Laporta answered. "Chelsea have signed him," he added.
This development comes after Kounde deciding to head to Portugal with Sevilla for their own preseason commitments was taken as the France international holding out for Barca to make an approach for him, which was previously seen with Raphinha when Chelsea also made an official offer for the Brazilian that was accepted by then-club Leeds United.
Barca are understood to have told Kounde and his camp to wait for them, and they will look to come as close as possible to matching the Premier
Where Barca definitely can't compete with the west Londoners is on pay, though, with Kounde said to have been offered something like €12mn ($12.2mn) per year.
As seen with Ousmane Dembele, Barca would be willing to offer him around half of that at around €6-7mn ($6.1-7.1mn), which is what the likes of Ansu Fati and Pedri currently take home.
Though there might still be some hope of Barca pulling off the coup, Kounde himself needs to choose whether he wants to take the more economically attractive package or a punt on the sporting project being constructed by Xavi. | https://www.forbes.com/sites/tomsanderson/2022/07/22/fc-barcelona-rule-out-kounde-signing-and-state-he-has-signed-for-chelsea/ | 2022-07-22T10:02:09Z | https://www.forbes.com/sites/tomsanderson/2022/07/22/fc-barcelona-rule-out-kounde-signing-and-state-he-has-signed-for-chelsea/ | false |
CLEVELAND (AP) — Hakizimana Muvunye, a refugee from Congo who lives in Cleveland, is a man doing his best. He’s the owner of Asante Landscaping but has only five clients so he also drives for Uber.
“I need to take care of my family,” he said. Muvunye and his wife, Irene Twizere, have five children.
Muvunye came to Cleveland in February 2016 from Uganda after fleeing armed conflict and insecurity in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Now he’s striving to build his business. He’s counting on US Together, a nonprofit that provides services to refugees and immigrants, and especially its Microenterprise Development program to help him achieve this goal.
The program, which helps eligible refugees and immigrants develop, finance, and expand small businesses, was vital to starting Asante Landscaping. The staff helped Muvunye register the company with the Ohio Secretary of State and apply for loans that he needed.
Funded by the federal Office of Refugee Resettlement for the past five years, the program has helped more than 30 entrepreneurs gain access to nearly $50,000 in startup capital and credit-building loans. In total, 89 participants have registered to start a business. Three local participants have opened brick-and-mortar stores, with a fourth on the way.
The partnership between US Together and the federal resettlement office is an example of how nonprofits and government agencies are working together here and in other regions, such as Buffalo, N.Y., to help as the number of refugees coming to the United States, especially from Afghanistan and Ukraine, is increasing. Welcoming new refugees and immigrants matters to the Midwest and other regions because they may help shift declining populations and boost local economies with new businesses.
US Together wants to expand what it does and who it serves, but right now it is working to find new sources of funding because the five-year federal grant that provided the program’s $70,000 annual budget expires in September. The nonprofit has applied to have the grant renewed.
“We have a little bridge funding available that might sustain us a few months past September,” said Evan Chwalek, economic integration coordinator at US Together.
Also, the nonprofit is in the early stages of seeking other government and foundation grants to stabilize the program. Money from a new refugee-assistance program planned in Cuyahoga County could be tapped for help. And US Together hopes to partner with Global Cleveland, a nonprofit working to increase the number of international newcomers to the region, to eventually develop a business incubator program.
Joe Cimperman. president of Global Cleveland, says programs to help newcomers need support from all sectors.
“Programs like this should absolutely be supported and roundly invested in, and not just by the public sector,” Cimperman said. “We need to wake up to this. People tend to look at immigrants and refugees as charity cases. Let’s make it easier for them to make money and hire people.”
Cleveland, like many other Midwestern cities, has seen a decline in population over the years. According to the U.S. census, Cleveland’s population decreased by 6 percent over the past 10 years. Northeast Ohio lost 1.6 percent of its population from 2007 to 2017, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland.
However, the number of immigrants and refugees coming to the region is increasing because of people fleeing Afghanistan and Ukraine, said Maria Teverovsky, director of development at US Together. “We’ve had an unprecedented wave of migration in Northeast Ohio, coupled with an unprecedented migration crisis internationally,” she said.
Ohio ranked sixth in the number of refugees resettled in 2019, just behind states with larger populations like California, New York, and Texas. About 1,500 refugees resettled in Ohio in 2019, with about 500 coming yearly to Cleveland.
And as they arrive, many of them bring an entrepreneurial spirit. Studies show that refugees and immigrants are more likely than people born in the United States to start businesses. While migrants are 15 percent of the U.S. population, they represent 25 percent of entrepreneurs. Community Refugee and Immigration Services, a nonprofit in Columbus, says refugee businesses generate $605.7 million per year in economic impact in the Columbus region alone.
But other regions are competing with Northeast Ohio to attract new international residents and the potential for new businesses. According to a 2021 study by Cleveland State University, Cleveland ranks in the bottom third among other midsize U.S. cities in the number of foreign-born individuals. To increase the number of businesses owned by people of color, refugees, and immigrants, Northeast Ohio has to invest in efforts that support them, the study said.
“The only way we’re going to thrive is by welcoming international newcomers,” Cimperman said. “Yet it’s something we take for granted. Our economy depends on new bodies, new blood, new innovation.”
Baiju Shah, CEO of Greater Cleveland Partnership, the region’s chamber of commerce, says welcoming refugees and immigrants is “a huge priority.”
“When people come over here from another country, how do we make sure we retain them?” he said. “Historically, we’re a region welcoming people from around the world and around the country. It has to be part of our strategy.”
Victor Harerimana, co-owner of Equity Languages and Employment Services, is also a Congolese refugee. He used the Microenterprise Development program to launch his business. He chose to start an interpretation business after working as an interpreter at Catholic Charities in Cleveland. US Together’s program helped Harerimana apply for a $1,200 loan for his business.
“We were able to operate in Ohio and New York and make money to help us continue,” he said.
In Buffalo, the Office of Refugee Resettlement also provided money to a nonprofit to help refugees start businesses. In 2018, Journey’s End Refugee Services created the Buffalo Refugee Child Care Microenterprise Project to assist refugees from Burma, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Iraq, Nepal, Rwanda, and Somalia. They started child-care businesses using a $562,500 grant from the resettlement office.
Carolynn Welch, executive director of the Westminster Economic Development Initiative, said in a Buffalo News interview, the immigrant and refugee population has revitalized some neighborhoods there.
In the Cleveland area, Cuyahoga County leaders recently issued a request for proposals to help fund organizations that provide social services, employment services, and legal services to refugees and immigrants. The county expects to award a total of $1 million over three years.
Meanwhile, US Together wants to expand its development program to serve new populations, especially legal immigrants who don’t yet have refugee status, Teverovsky said. In addition to applying for grants, officials at the nonprofit are working with Global Cleveland to explore creating an incubator to offer help and resources to new businesses.
They are looking for long-term funding options and a strategy that helps them serve more potential business owners beyond who they can help now due to state and federal regulations.
“Due to regulatory limits within the state of Ohio, we’re unable to lend more than $5,000 to our clients, : said Evan Chwalek of US Together. “Increasing that ceiling would be really helpful to us as we’re hearing from lots of potential entrepreneurs, particularly in the transportation sector, who require more capital to get their businesses started.”

WASHINGTON — The right to use contraceptives would be inscribed into law under a measure that Democrats pushed through the House on Thursday, their latest campaign-season response to concerns a conservative Supreme Court that already erased federal abortion rights could go further.
The House's 228-195 roll call was largely along party lines and sent the measure to the Senate, where its fate seemed uphill. The bill is the latest example of Democrats latching onto their own version of culture war battles to appeal to female, progressive and minority voters by casting the court and Republicans as extremists intent on obliterating rights taken for granted for years.
Democrats said that with the high court recently overturning the landmark Roe v. Wade decision from 1973, the justices and GOP lawmakers are on track to go even further than banning abortions.
“This extremism is about one thing: control of women. We will not let this happen,” said Rep. Kathy Manning, D-N.C., who sponsored the legislation. All of the bill's nearly 150 co-sponsors are Democrats.
In his opinion overturning Roe last month, Justice Clarence Thomas wrote that the court should now review other precedents. He mentioned rulings that affirmed the rights of same-sex marriage in 2015, same-sex intimate relationships in 2003 and married couples' use of contraceptives in 1965.
Thomas did not specify a 1972 decision that legalized the use of contraceptives by unmarried people as well, but Democrats say they consider that at risk as well.
Republicans accused Democrats of manufacturing a crisis, saying there is no serious effort underway to erase the right to use contraceptives.
“If we allow the majority to undermine constitutional safeguards for an imagined and fake emergency, they will create more imagined emergencies in the future to violate and undermine our constitutional principles,” Rep. Claudia Tenney, R-NY., said during the debate. She said Democrats wanted to "distract and scare the American people and score cheap political points.”
The measure's fate seemed unclear in the 50-50 Senate, where at least 10 Republicans would have to support the bill for it to reach the 60 votes needed for most legislation to pass.
House Democrats have begun forcing votes on these and other issues related to privacy rights, hoping for long-shot victories or to at least energize sympathetic voters and donors and force Republicans from competitive districts in difficult spots. The House voted last week to revive a nationwide right to abortion, with every Republican voting no, and voted largely along party lines to bar prosecuting women traveling to states where abortion remains legal.
The House voted Tuesday to keep same-sex marriage legal, with 47 Republicans joining all Democrats in backing the measure. Though 157 Republicans voted no, that tally raised expectations that the bill could win enough support for GOP senators to pass, sending it to President Joe Biden for his signature.
The contraception bill explicitly allows the use of contraceptives and gives the medical community the right to provide them, covering “any device or medication used to prevent pregnancy.” Listed examples include oral contraceptives, injections, implants like intrauterine devices and emergency contraceptives, which prevent pregnancy several days after unprotected sex.
The bill lets the federal and state government, patients and health care providers bring civil suits against states or state officials that violate its provisions.
Same-sex marriage may have such broad public acceptance that growing numbers of Republicans are willing to vote for it. But anti-abortion groups oppose the contraception legislation, and it remains to be seen if significant numbers of GOP lawmakers are willing to make that break.
Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America said the legislation “seeks to bail out the abortion industry, trample conscience rights, and require uninhibited access to dangerous chemical abortion drugs.” The National Right to Life Committee said it “goes far beyond the scope of contraception” and would cover abortion pills like RU486, which supporters said was incorrect.
The measure drew a mixed reaction from two of the Senate's more moderate Republicans.
Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, said she was “most likely" to support the measure. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, demurred, saying she was working on bipartisan legislation that she said would codify the rights to abortion and perhaps for contraception.
There are few state restrictions on contraceptive use, said Elizabeth Nash, who studies state reproductive health policies for the Guttmacher Institute, a research organization that supports abortion rights.
Nash said she was concerned that there will be efforts to curb emergency contraceptives and intrauterine devices and to help providers and institutions refuse to provide contraceptive services.

ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia’s abortion law changed so abruptly Wednesday afternoon that some patients who were in an office waiting for abortions were told that what had been legal that morning was no longer legal in the state and sent home.
Melissa Grant, chief operating officer of Carafem, a Washington, D.C.-based group that operates a reproductive health clinic in Atlanta, called the process of sending home four patients terrible.
“It was difficult every time the staff had to bring it up, whether it was someone on the phone for tomorrow or somebody in the office today,” Grant said. “They would have to resteel themselves in order to try to be empathetic and understanding in the face of someone who was either going to fall apart, cry, get angry or try to bargain — ‘Isn’t there some way you can still see me?’”
The law, which had been barred from taking effect, bans most abortions once a “ detectable human heartbeat ” is present. Cardiac activity can be detected by ultrasound in cells within an embryo that will eventually become the heart as early as six weeks into a pregnancy, before many pregnancies are detected.
Now, with abortion illegal or heavily restricted in Deep South states except disputed Louisiana, Georgia patients more than six weeks pregnant are likely to be referred to clinics in Florida, North Carolina or even farther away.
The Georgia law includes exceptions for rape and incest, as long as a police report is filed. It also allows for later abortions when the mother’s life is at risk or a serious medical condition renders a fetus unviable and includes provisions that change the definition of “natural person,” giving a fetus the same legal rights as people have once they’re born.
The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Wednesday that the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in a Mississippi case that overturned Roe v. Wade allows the law to take effect. Normally, the Georgia ruling wouldn’t take effect for weeks, but the court issued a second order Wednesday allowing the law to take effect immediately.
In Louisiana, a state judge ruled Thursday that the state’s three abortion clinics can continue operating while a lawsuit challenging the state’s near total ban on abortions is resolved. For weeks, access to abortion has been flickering in the state, where the ban has twice taken effect twice and twice been blocked since the Supreme Court ruling in June.
Clinics in Baton Rouge and New Orleans that had ceased operations pending the ruling said they were open again Thursday.
The preliminary injunction in Louisiana is the latest development amid a flurry of court challenges to state “trigger” laws that were crafted in anticipation of Roe being overturned.
Georgia is one of the biggest states to see sweeping restrictions on abortion. The National Abortion Federation listed 10 clinics providing surgical abortions before Wednesday, although an 11th clinic in Savannah had already closed after the Supreme Court acted.
One of those clinics, the Feminist Women’s Health Center in Brookhaven, had been performing 150 to 200 abortions per week, Executive Director Kwajalein Jackson said. That number rose when new limits went into place in other southeastern states in recent weeks, Jackson said. Grant said Carafem has canceled more than 75 appointments for women beyond six weeks.
State records show about 35,000 abortions were performed in Georgia in 2021.
Abortion rights supporters said that they try to refer women to the right location for them, and somewhere farther away might be better if a woman has family or friends in a distant location.
“It really is about what is going to be the best plan for the person at the end of the day,” said Monica Simpson, executive director of Atlanta-based SisterSong Women of Color Reproductive Justice Collective, which advocates for abortion rights. Simpson and abortion providers said they work closely with abortion funds that can provide financial assistance.
In Savannah, closure of the city’s only provider of surgical abortion left a Planned Parenthood clinic that offers medication abortions only.
“Yesterday at 9 a.m. you were able to go to your local clinic and access medication-based abortion up to 11 weeks” of pregnancy, said Coco Papy, a former Planned Parenthood Southeast board member. ”And as of 3 p.m. yesterday you could no longer access that.”
Groups that oppose abortion are also stepping up their responses, said Suzanne Guy, a longtime activist. “My phone has been blowing up since Roe has been overturned,” she said.
Guy said she hopes religious groups will support women not just while pregnant and during birth, but “for the long haul.”
In suburban Atlanta, Keri Ninness anticipates an increase in pregnant women seeking services at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Marietta. Ninness said the group called Walking With Moms in Need has helped 15 pregnant women in the past 15 months.
“In a very practical sense, I see the need for diapers and food going through the roof,” Ninness said. “I’ve had five requests for infant car seats in the last week.”
She said she also expects more mothers needing cribs, help from lactation consultants and even shelter.
“We’ve always said we were pro-life, and now we get to put that into practice,” Ninness said.
