Owner-occupiers make loan switch: ABS
Owner-occupiers have been refinancing loans and changing to banks with better deals at record rates in response to rising interest rates, data released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics reveals.
ABS lending indicators for June revealed the value of owner-occupier housing loan commitments rose 9.7 per cent, with borrowers locking in a record high of $12.7 billion in the month.
ABS Head of Finance and Wealth Katherine Keenan said the value of homeowners changing lenders was 25 per cent higher in June compared to a year ago.
"As interest rates rose in recent months, borrowers sought loans with lower interest rates and lenders competed to attract them," Ms Keenan said.
The trend follows three subsequent rate hikes by the Reserve Bank of Australia, with a further hike expected in its rate decision on Tuesday.
The number of new loans for owner-occupier first home buyers fell eight per cent in June 2022 to 9,393, close to the pre-pandemic level in February 2020 of 9,549.
The number of these loan commitments fell across almost all states and territories, particularly Victoria (down 11.2 per cent), New South Wales (down 9.4 per cent) and Western Australia (down 13.8 per cent).
The lending indicators also revealed the value of new owner-occupier loan commitments fell most sharply in Victoria at 7.1 per cent, with smaller falls in NSW (down 2 per cent) and WA (down 4.7 per cent)
New investor loan commitments fell 6.3 per cent nationally, led by NSW (down 10.5 per cent or $439m), Victoria (down 3.4 per cent of $100m and Western Australia (down 10.6 per cent or $78m).
ABS building approval data, also released on Tuesday showed the value of total buildings approved fell 4.7 per cent in June, following a 10.8 per cent rise in May.
The value of non-residential building fell 6.1 per cent, following a 17.0 per cent increase in May.
The total number of dwellings approved fell 0.7 per cent in the month, on the back of an 11.2 per cent rise in May. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-11071467/Owner-occupiers-make-loan-switch-ABS.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-08-02T02:49:00Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-11071467/Owner-occupiers-make-loan-switch-ABS.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true |

An injured bald eagle found along the Merrimack River is now recovering in veterinary care thanks to a team effort in the Massachusetts town of West Newbury.West Newbury police Chief Michael Dwyer said police received word about the injured eagle on the banks of the river shortly before 2:10 p.m. Sunday.Police Sgt. Rich Parenteau and Officer Matt Dixon found the eagle in a brush-covered area adjacent to the river bank along River Road.West Newbury Animal Control Officer Kayla Provencher was called to the scene and West Newbury Dispatcher Bob Pierce responded to the scene to help her. Dwyer said Pierce had an experience with injured eagles several years ago when two juvenile eagles that were nesting in his yard had to be rescued after leaving their nest too early.Provencher said one of the biggest challenges in the rescue was the fact that eagles are excellent swimmers and fast on their feet. Therefore, they had to ensure the eagle would not get scared and flee into the river because at that point, they would be unlikely to catch the eagle and help it.Pierce first entered the river to prevent the eagle from fleeing in that direction and Provencher was then able to capture the bird by using a long net, blankets and towels. The two then worked together in thick brush to get the eagle out of the net and into an animal crate without further injury, all while wearing thick gloves and taking precautions to protect themselves from the eagle's talons and beak."At one point he grabbed my gloves with his talons and I could feel the pressure," Provencher said. "I could not just pull my hand away so I had to wait for him to release."Provencher and Pierce were able to get the bald eagle into a large animal crate and brought it to a local wildlife rehabilitation center. The eagle was later transferred to the Tufts University Cummings Veterinary Medical Center in Grafton for treatment.

The Legislature is back in session
Presented by CalETC and the Environmental Defense Fund
WELCOME BACK: At long last, the California Capitol is back up and humming.
The next two weeks will be a sprint to pass dozens of bills that have been left to the tail end of the session. Among them are several high-profile pieces of legislation that highlight the state’s love-hate relationship with labor.
Top of mind is a push to allow legislative staff to unionize — a play that’s been run multiple times in the Capitol without any success. Former Assemblymember-turned-labor-leader Lorena Gonzalez has championed it in the past, but this year Assemblymember Mark Stone (D-Scotts Valley) is taking up the mantle, trying to rally his fellow lawmakers around Assembly Bill 1577. Previous iterations died in the Assembly, but this year Stone made a clever move to gut and amend a bill that was already in the Senate, bypassing the initial hurdles that have always blocked the legislation’s advancement on the Assembly side. It passed two Senate committee hearings in June, and was on the docket to be heard in the Appropriations Committee this morning.
It’s the fourth time the Legislature has considered such a bill, but Stone and allies hope this time will be different, for a handful of reasons. The Legislature has experienced a “reckoning” in recent years, Stone said, between #MeToo, the Covid pandemic, problems with the Legislature’s Workplace Conduct Unit, and the controversial Instagram page @DearCaStaffers that posted anonymous accounts of alleged staffer mistreatment.
Another key indicator: support from leadership. Both Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins (D-San Diego) and Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon (D-Lakewood) support efforts to unionize legislative staff.
We’re also keeping a close eye on the FAST Recovery Act, aka Assembly Bill 257 by Assemblymember Chris Holden (D-Pasadena), which would create a fast food sector council to set wage and working conditions for workers. Proponents argue the bill will give fast-food employees the power to transform the low-wage industry and improve the lives of their families. It is heavily opposed by business groups, including the National Restaurant Association, which worries the legislation will harm quick-service operators and lead to similar movements in other states.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TODAY
SUPERVISED INJECTION ON TO NEWSOM: It’s been since years since California lawmakers first attempted to pass legislation that would allow so-called “supervised consumption” sites where people can use illicit drugs under supervision. The latest version — state Sen. Scott Wiener’s SB 57 — cleared its final legislative hurdle today and is heading to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s desk. The bill would authorize the sites to be piloted in San Francisco, Oakland and the city and county of Los Angeles.
This isn’t the first time the effort has come before a governor. Former Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed an earlier version in 2018 that limited sites to San Francisco, saying “enabling illegal and destructive drug use will never work.” This time it’s a different bill and a different governor, one who has described himself during his campaign as open to the idea. — Victoria Colliver
ON THE BEATS
EDUCATION BILLS TO WATCH: A key Senate committee made the procedural moves today needed to keep several education pushes alive. Still standing — at least until it's considered alongside hundreds of others bills next week — is a bill that would guarantee a semester of parental leave to California State University employees. So is another to prioritize preschool enrollment and subsidized child care for children whose primary home language isn't English, and a bill to require private and charter school construction to follow the same environmental standards as traditional public schools.
The fate of those bills will be revealed in rapid-fire fashion, auctioneer-style next Thursday. — Blake Jones
ARE GOATS MECHANICAL? Debate on a bill that would set goals for how much carbon is naturally sequestered in farms and other places offered a moment of levity today when Senator Bob Wieckowski (D-Fremont) asked whether the grazing of goats should be considered mechanical work that could be restricted under AB 2649.
“We must clarify whether a goat is mechanical or organic,” Senate Appropriations Committee Chair Anthony Portantino (D-La Cañada Flintridge) responded dryly. “This is a new one on me. They’re not animatronics.” — Camille von Kaenel
AROUND CALIFORNIA
“Two California fires in the Sierra Nevada have very different outcomes. Why?” by the Los Angeles Times’ Alex Wigglesworth: “But the Oak fire, which sparked almost two weeks later in the foothills near Midpines, confounded firefighters as it exploded to four times the size of Washburn and forced thousands to flee as it destroyed at least 106 homes. At times, the wildfire’s smoke plume could be seen from space.”
“Why was one fire so much more destructive?”
“Experts attribute the difference to variations in weather, vegetation and topography. The management history of each landscape also played a role: Yosemite boasts decades of active stewardship, including prescribed burns, while areas outside the park bear a legacy of industrial logging and fire suppression.”
“Did Russia provide funding and support for booster of California secession movement?” by the Sacramento Bee’s Sam Stanton: “The effort was part of a ‘years-long foreign malign influence campaign that used various U.S. political groups to sow discord, spread pro-Russian propaganda, and interfere in elections within the United States,’ the Justice Department said in an announcement Friday during which authorities in Tampa, Fla., revealed Ionov had been indicted there on charges of targeting political groups in Florida, Georgia and California ‘to further Russian interests.’”
“Court documents identify the organizer in California only as ‘unidentified co-conspirator 6,’ an American who had lived in Russia and California and was the founder and president of an unnamed group seeking to have California secede from the union.”

Help wanted: This job pays $78,000 a year to taste candy while sitting on your couch
A Canadian candy company is offering a very sweet gig.
Candy Funhouse, an online retailer of confectionery treats from chocolate bars to gummies and licorice, is hiring for a $78,000 a year ($100,000 Canadian), work-from-home job as its chief candy officer.
Duties include: "leading candy board meetings, being the head taste tester ... and all things fun."
Several thousand candidates have already applied for the position, which was posted on LinkedIn in July, said Chief Executive Officer Jamil Hejazi. He noted that he's been surprised by the number of "golden ticket" themed applications and the elaborate videos of entire families offering to share the tasting duties and salary.
But Hejazi also sees the attraction. "Imagine your best memories around candy, and having that every day at work," he said.
Candy Funhouse, based outside of Toronto, is headed by a quartet of 20- and 30-something siblings who grew up in the area and whose parents owned donut shops and a local restaurant.
"My brother Mo, a candyhead, founded it and my mother was employee no. 2," said Hejazi, adding that he and a younger sister and brother later joined the firm.
The family hoped to differentiate their company from other highly successful online and brick-and-mortar competitors such as Mars, Hershey and Amazon with a "weird" mix of products, no minimum orders — "we'll sell one lollipop" — and a strong push on social media.
Sales in 2021, boosted substantially by the pandemic, were "just under $15 million. I'm not kidding," Hejazi said.
The family retains a 90% ownership stake.
The company said the chief candy officer position is open to applicants as young as five years old — although parental permission would likely be required. Many parents have filmed their children filling out the application and posted it online.
The company has 340,000 followers on Instagram and three million on TikTok, including a Kardashian, Hejazi said, although he declined to specify which one.
Right now, the company is prepping for Halloween, its biggest sales period last year. "We have 40% of our stock in" so far, Hejazi said. Last week, candy giant Hershey's reported that it will have difficulty meeting Halloween-related demand this year.
Hejazi also noted that reports on social media claiming that the chief candy officer will be required to eat 3,500 pieces of candy per month are incorrect. (That number represents the different varieties the company stocks.) "That would be 117 a day," Hejazi said. "That's too many." | https://www.koat.com/article/job-tasting-candy-while-sitting-on-your-couch/40773819 | 2022-08-02T03:09:05Z | https://www.koat.com/article/job-tasting-candy-while-sitting-on-your-couch/40773819 | false |
WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) — The White House is investing $1 billion to help communities face increasingly severe weather conditions.
Vice President Kamala Harris made the announcement at the National Hurricane Center in Miami, Florida on Monday, the first day of hurricane season.
The White House said the money will go to more than 300 projects across the country. Harris said the funds are necessary to save lives and money down the road.
“(It will) protect the people of our nation,” Harris said. “Every year, more and more powerful hurricanes and tropical storms make landfall on the coast.”
She said the grant money will help communities prepare and respond to disasters by investing in more resilient infrastructure.
The announcement came as Kentucky faces deadly flooding and as wildfires spread in California and Montana.
“It has been devastating, what we are witnessing,” Harris said.
The $1 billion is double what the administration spent last year on resilient infrastructure projects, but the investment is an effort to meet growing demand for federal aid. According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, communities last year requested a record-breaking $4.7 billion in resilient infrastructure grants.
“Climate change has become a climate crisis,” Harris said.
She said to save money down the road, the administration plans to double funding again next year to ensure every community has the tools it needs to survive.
Harris on Monday said Congress must take action to try to stop things from getting even worse. A plan Democrats say can help is currently being negotiated. | https://www.fox16.com/washington/washington-dc/vp-announces-1-billion-for-infrastructure-resilient-to-severe-weather/ | 2022-08-02T03:16:11Z | https://www.fox16.com/washington/washington-dc/vp-announces-1-billion-for-infrastructure-resilient-to-severe-weather/ | true |

NEW YORK – Aaron Judge hit his major league-leading 43rd home run, Jose Trevino had his first multihomer game and the New York Yankees beat the Seattle Mariners 7-2 Monday night in a series opener between teams bulking up for the postseason.
Anthony Rizzo started the onslaught with a three-run homer in the first, and New York clinched its 31st consecutive winning record at home (41-13), second only to its big league standard of 47 in row from 1918-64. The Yankees are 70-34, the first team to reach 70 wins this year.
Before the game, the Yankees acquired starter Frankie Montas and reliever Lou Trivino from Oakland, three days after Seattle obtained Luis Castillo, perhaps the best available starter on the trade market. Castillo is lined up to start the series finale on Wednesday against Yankees ace Gerrit Cole.
Rizzo put the Yankees ahead in the first with a three-run homer off Marco Gonzales (6-11). The drive over the Yankees’ bullpen in right was Rizzo’s fourth homer in six games and raised his season total to 26 along with 65 RBIs.
After Kyle Lewis’ solo homer in the second against Domingo Germán (1-1), Judge hit a two-run drive in the bottom half. Judge also leads the majors with 93 RBIs.
Trevino homered in the fourth and added a drive into Monument Park in the eighth against Ryan Borucki. The first-time All-Star has his nine homers this year, matching his total in four previous big league seasons, and set a career high with 32 RBIs.
Seattle has lost seven of 11 since heading into the All-Star break on a 14-game winning streak.
Adam Frazier hit a run-scoring single in the fourth off Germán, who won for the first time in three starts since coming off the injured list. He allowed two runs and six hits in five innings with three walks and a strikeout.
With Alex Rodriguez seated behind home plate, Judge hit a 420-foot drive, sending a first-pitch 87.4 mph fastball into the visiting bullpen in left field,
Judge is on pace for 67 homers, six more than the Yankees record set by Roger Maris in 1961. Judge reached 43 homers in his 101st game and New York’s 104th game while Maris hit his 43rd in his 114th game and the Yankees' 115th on Aug. 12, 1961.
Eligible for free agency after the World Series. Judge has 10 homers in 12 games since the All-Star break ad 13 in his last 16 games.
Ron Marinaccio, Aroldis Chapman, Jonathan Loáisiga and Wandy Peralta combined for one-hit, scoreless relief.
Gonzales allowed six runs for the first time since giving up seven on July 3 last year at Texas. He yielded nine hits in 5 1/3 innings and for the second time in three starts matched his career high of three homers allowed.
MARINERS MOVES
Seattle traded LHP Anthony Misiewicz to Kansas City for cash. Misiewicz was 0-1 with a 4.61 ERA in 17 appearances before being designated for assignment Sunday. The Mariners also claimed OF Travis Jankowski off waivers from the Mets, who designated him for assignment Friday. Jankowski batted .167 in 43 games with the Mets.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Mariners: 1B Ty France missed a second straight game with a sore left wrist. Manager Servais said France is feeling better but is not ready to swing yet.
Yankees: RHP Luis Severino (right lat) threw for the first time since going on the injured list July 14. Severino was also transferred to the 60-day IL along with RHP Miguel Castro (right shoulder strain). ... RHP Clarke Schmidt was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre and RHP Carlos Espinal had his contract selected from Scranton.
UP NEXT
Seattle RHP Logan Gilbert (10-4, 2.78 ERA) opposes New York RHP Jameson Taillon (10-2, 3.72) Tuesday.

Surgical Care Coalition and Over 100 Medical Organizations Urge Congress to Stop Pending Medicare Cuts That Will Impact Millions of Seniors
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Surgical Care Coalition and over 100 medical organizations representing more than one million physicians and other health care professionals are joining together to urge Congress to take immediate action to protect America's seniors by stopping proposed cuts to Medicare for calendar year 2023.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recently proposed a nearly 4.5% cut to the Medicare conversion factor, a key element for calculating Medicare payments. When combined with the pending 4% Pay-As-You-Go (PAYGO) cut, surgical care faces a nearly 8.5% cut next year. These looming cuts, which come after the 2% sequestration cut that was fully reinstated in July, represent a significant threat to the millions of seniors nationwide who rely on the Medicare program to access timely, high-quality care.
As a result, more than one million physicians and other health care professionals urge Congress to implement at least a 4.5% adjustment to the Medicare conversion factor, waive the 4% statutory PAYGO requirement and provide a one-year inflationary update based on the Medicare Economic Index. These efforts will provide the Medicare system with short-term fiscal stability and lay the groundwork for long-term payment reforms, the letter states.
"The Surgical Care Coalition and broader community of health care professionals are fighting against these cuts and the continued disinvestment in patient care that jeopardizes patients' access to critical procedures," said Patricia Turner, MD, MBA, FACS, American College of Surgeons Executive Director. "While short-term intervention is clearly needed, it is vital we also identify and advance necessary reforms that create a more robust and reliable Medicare payment system in the long-term."
The letter further argues that the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule's (MPFS) budget neutrality requirement, coupled with the lack of an annual inflationary update, are serious systemic issues that encourage arbitrary cuts to select forms of care. Rather than promoting an ecosystem that provides the best possible care solutions to patients, CMS continues to introduce cuts that disincentivize collaboration between physicians as they are pitted against each other for critical resources.
Doug Rhee, MD, American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery President added, "When adjusted for inflation, the value of Medicare payments has declined by 28% over the past 20 years, while the cost of running a medical practice has increased exponentially. As medical costs reach record highs, the proposed cuts reflect an unsustainable Medicare payment system that is out-of-touch with the needs of millions of Americans. Congress must work urgently to stop these cuts and reform the outdated MPFS system."
The Surgical Care Coalition is committed to developing and promoting policy solutions that would address these risks and help ensure our nation's seniors maintain access to the high-quality care they deserve.

Brazilian conjoined twins were successfully separated by two teams of doctors on different sides of the world using virtual reality technology.
The two three-year-old twins were conjoined at the head and underwent surgery in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil with the help of virtual reality (VR) headsets working with a team of doctors at London's Great Ormond Street Hospital, the BBC reported.
Bernardo and Arthur Lima were able to be separated as doctors, for the first time, worked in a "virtual reality room" together while wearing the VR headsets. One of the surgeons, Noor ul Owase Jeelani, described the operation as "space-age stuff".
As Sky News reported, the twins had connected brains and surgeons has to spend months studying virtual reality techniques before they were able to begin the actual procedure on the two boys.

Jeelani said, "You can imagine how reassuring that is for the surgeons" as the success could mean a boost in operations of this kind around the world.
"In some ways these operations are considered the hardest of our time, and to do it in virtual reality was just really man-on-Mars stuff," he said.
This was the sixth separation for Dr. Jeelani who has operated on twins from Sudan, Israel, Turkey and Pakistan.
Jeelani is part of an organization called Gemini Untwined which works to try and safely separate conjoined twins around the world. | https://www.kivitv.com/news/national/conjoined-twins-separated-in-successful-operation-via-virtual-reality | 2022-08-02T03:23:30Z | https://www.kivitv.com/news/national/conjoined-twins-separated-in-successful-operation-via-virtual-reality | false |

I'm currently working on getting SPF and DMARC set up for all our email domains.
I have seen that there are a number of services that offer DMARC report processing (the XML aggregate file), but I'm wanting to know what services people would suggest.
One of the key things here for me is, I'd like to understand what trends we have; i.e. most spoofed domain, IP's that regularly get flagged, etc.
Does anyone have any recommendations?

"Wouldn't you rather give it all to something real?"
That's the question posed to Diego Luna's Cassian Andor in the new trailer for the upcoming Disney+ series Andor, a prequel to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
Fans know that ultimately, Cassian gives his life for the Rebellion in Rogue One, however, Andor will explore how the cynical thief rose up during the formative years of the Rebel Alliance to become one of the most important figures in the battle against the oppressive Galactic Empire.
"To steal from the Empire, you just walk in like you belong," Cassian says in the trailer. "They're so proud of themselves, so fat and satisfied, they can't imagine that someone like me would ever get inside their house."
Watch the full trailer below:
The 12-episode Andor series will see Cassian, alongside returning characters like Mon Mothma (Genevieve O’Reilly) and Saw Gerrera (Forest Whitaker), set out to “restore hope to a galaxy in the grip of a ruthless Empire.”
“I feel so lucky,” O’Reilly said about reprising her role as Mothma, acknowledging that “I first played this woman 17 years ago now.”
It's been confirmed that Andor will run for two seasons, with the second 12 episodes ending where Rogue One picks up.
“It is really cool to tell a story where you already know the ending,” Luna previously told ET about the series. “It is a different approach, because it's how things happen. It's not just what happens. It's not the typical way of approaching a story. It's about how things happen... You know the ending, but you don't know how it happened, and we have that challenge in front of us again, which is exciting.”
Andor debuts Sept. 21, with three episodes streaming on Disney+. See more on the series in the video below.

Youth charred to death as air conditioner unit explodes
CHENNAI August 02, 2022 07:40 ISTMeasures should be taken for proper maintenance of power supply at households: EB official
A 27-year-old youth was charred to death as an air-conditioning machine exploded and fire engulfed his bedroom at Thiru. Vi. Ka. Nagar on Sunday.
The victim has been identified as P. Shyam, who supplied milk in the neighbourhood and also ran a shop in Manavalanagar. He married Dhanalakshmi six months ago and both stayed in the ground floor of the Thiru. Vi. Ka. Nagar house. Shyam’s father Prabakaran lived on the first floor of the house. At the time of the incident, Ms. Dhanalakshmi was at her parents’ house in Nungambakkam.
Late on Sunday, Shyam switched on the air-conditioning machine and was asleep in the bedroom. A huge thud from his bedroom woke Prabakaran, and he ran to the ground floor, which was filled with thick smoke. By the time the neighbours managed to break open the doors, they found that the things inside had been gutted in the fire which started from the air conditioner, police sources said. Shyam’s body was taken to the Government Kilpauk Medical College Hospital for a post-mortem.
Last February, a two-year-old girl child was charred to death in a fire that erupted from an air conditioner due to a short-circuit while she was sleeping in Pozhichalur.
The victim, M. Prajeetha, was the only daughter of Mohan and Sangeetha, who are flower vendors in Yasodha Nagar, Gowl Bazaar, in Pozhichalur. On a Thursday, after feeding her daughter, Ms. Sangeetha laid her to sleep in a bedroom where the air conditioner was on. Around 3 p.m., when she was at the front of the house, she found thick smoke coming from the room where the child was asleep and raised an alarm. However, the child was found charred to death.
Last June, an 84-year-old man was charred to death after a fire engulfed his room due to a short-circuit from the air-conditioning machine in an apartment in Nanganallur.
The victim, Balasubramanian, a retired High Court stenographer, was bed-ridden for a few years. He was staying with his wife Annapoorani, 77, at the apartment while their children were living abroad. They used to sleep in different rooms. At 5 a.m., the air conditioner in his room exploded and the resultant fire quickly spread in his room. Ms. Annapoorani, who noticed the smell of fire, raised an alarm and informed the neighbours but it was too late for her husband.
A senior official of the Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation (Tangedco) said these kinds of electrical accidents were due to a sudden surge in electricity demand and poor quality wiring.
The Chief Electricity Inspectorate of Tamil Nadu has repeatedly announced precautionary measures to be taken for proper maintenance of power supply at households by installing only ISI certified electrical appliances and also the need to install stabilisers to avoid such electrical accidents.
A. Thanapal, Assistant District Fire Officer, said, “These accidents due to fires starting from air conditions have occurred only at times people are sleeping. Spontaneous ignition due to overheating, no periodical maintenance and the lack of awareness on proper utilisation are the main reasons for the fires. Most of them are running the machines for longer hours than usual. Dust can also settle in the machine and when the machine is overheated, it could lead to a blaze.” | https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/chennai/air-conditioner-fires-are-avoidable-say-experts/article65712070.ece/amp/ | 2022-08-02T03:36:04Z | https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/chennai/air-conditioner-fires-are-avoidable-say-experts/article65712070.ece/amp/ | true |

YREKA, Calif. (AP) — At least two people have died from a raging California blaze that was among several menacing thousands of homes Monday in the Western U.S.
Two bodies were found inside a charred vehicle Sunday in the driveway of a home near the remote community of Klamath River, the Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement. The names of the victims and other details weren't immediately released.
The McKinney Fire in Northern California near the state line with Oregon exploded in size to nearly 87 square miles (225 square kilometers) after erupting Friday in the Klamath National Forest, firefighting officials said. It is California’s largest wildfire of the year so far and officials have not yet determined the cause.
Gusty winds from a thunderstorm powered the blaze of a few hundred acres into a massive conflagration while lightning caused a couple of smaller blazes nearby, including one near the community of Seiad Valley, fire officials said.

On Monday, heavy rain helped dampen the fire but it still threatened structures after torching more than 100, ranging from homes to greenhouses, fire and sheriff's officials said.
About 2,500 people remained under evacuation orders.
“If you get an order, that means go. This fire behavior, as you'll hear, is incredible. Don't try to fight it. Don't try to stick around," Siskiyou County Office of Emergency Services Director Bryan Schenone said at a community meeting Monday evening.
Stormy and cloudy weather helped fire crews attack the blaze, and bulldozers had managed to ring the town of Yreka, fire officials said.
As of Monday, the blaze was about 4 miles (6.4 kilometers) from the town of around 7,500 people.
Valerie Linfoot's son, a fire dispatcher, called to tell her their family home of three decades in Klamath River had burned. Linfoot said her husband worked as a U.S. Forest Service firefighter for years and the family did everything they could to prepare their house for a wildfire — including installing a metal roof and trimming trees and tall grasses around the property.
“It was as safe as we could make it, and it was just so dry and so hot and the fire was going so fast,” Linfoot told the Bay Area News Group. She said her neighbors have also lost homes.
“It’s a beautiful place. And from what I’ve seen, it’s just decimated. It’s absolutely destroyed,” she told the news group.
In northwestern Montana, winds picked up Monday afternoon on a fire burning in forested land west of Flathead Lake, forcing fire managers to ground all aircraft and leading the Lake County Sheriff’s Office to start evacuating residents on the northeastern corner of the fire.
The fire was putting up a lot of smoke, creating visibility problems for aircraft, said Sara Rouse, a spokesperson for the fire management team.
The fire, which started Friday afternoon near the town of Elmo on the Flathead Indian Reservation, measured 20 square miles (52 square kilometers), fire officials said.
The Moose Fire in Idaho has burned more than 85 square miles (220 square kilometers) in the Salmon-Challis National Forest while threatening homes, mining operations and fisheries near the town of Salmon. It was 23% contained Monday.
And a wildfire raging in northwestern Nebraska led to evacuations and destroyed or damaged several homes near the small city of Gering. The Carter Canyon Fire began Saturday as two separate fires that merged. It was about 30% contained by early Monday.
In California, Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency Saturday, allowing him more flexibility to make emergency response and recovery effort decisions and to tap federal aid.
Scientists have said climate change has made the West warmer and drier over the last three decades and will continue to make weather more extreme and wildfires more frequent and destructive.
The U.S. Forest service shut down a 110-mile (177-kilometer) section of the famed Pacific Crest Trail in Northern California and southern Oregon. Sixty hikers in that area were helped to evacuate on Saturday, according to the Jackson County Sheriff's Office in Oregon, which aided in the effort.

MONROE COUNTY, Pa. — It was the perfect summer evening to enjoy the 96th Annual Pocono Mountain Carnival in Monroe County.
The carnival, which is a major fundraiser for the Pocono Mountain Volunteer Fire Company, features all the summer favorites, including sweet corn on the cob, funnel cakes, and sausage sandwiches.
But for some carnival goers, it's all about the family experience.
"The favorite for me is eating and seeing my grandchildren having fun. I'm a happy camper now, and the babies have fun too," said Juan Carlos Rodrjuec, Mount Pocono.
The 96th Annual Pocono Mountain Carnival runs through Saturday, with a fireworks display planned for Wednesday night, August 3rd.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Pete Alonso and Francisco Lindor homered, Max Scherzer defeated his former team, and the New York Mets beat the Washington Nationals 7-3 Monday night for their seventh consecutive victory on the eve of ace Jacob deGrom’s season debut.
Washington slugger Juan Soto homered off Scherzer in what could be his final game with the Nationals. Soto, who walked in his other three plate appearances, is perhaps the biggest star who could be dealt before Tuesday’s trade deadline.
Several teammates could also leave Washington as the Nationals, who own the majors’ worst record at 35-69 and have lost four of five, look to sell for the second consecutive year.
The first-place Mets could acquire some more pieces at the deadline, but their biggest addition will likely be deGrom. The two-time NL Cy Young Award winner, shut down in spring training with a stress reaction in his right scapula, has not pitched in the majors since July 2021 and will come off the injured list Tuesday. He missed the second half of last season with right forearm tightness and a sprained elbow.
Regardless of any potential moves, New York had more than enough Monday to handle Patrick Corbin (4-15) and the Nationals. Jeff McNeil, Tomás Nido and Starling Marte all had RBI singles in the second, and Alonso lined his 27th homer into the visitors’ bullpen in left field an inning later.
Alonso’s homer was the fifth of his career against Corbin, his most against any pitcher. He is a .382 lifetime hitter (13 for 34) against the left-hander.
Lindor added a three-run drive in the sixth off reliever Steve Cishek as New York improved to 9-2 this season against Washington.
Scherzer (7-2) won two Cy Young Awards with Washington, made six All-Star appearances in seven seasons and helped the Nationals win the 2019 World Series before getting dealt to the Dodgers at last year’s trade deadline. He allowed three runs (two earned) in 6 2/3 innings and struck out five. The right-hander is 2-1 with a 1.62 ERA in six starts since returning from the injured list July 5.
Soto, a two-time All-Star and one of the few pivotal pieces remaining from Washington’s 2019 title team, was loudly applauded throughout the night. He walked in the first, moved to third on Josh Bell’s double and scored on Marte’s throwing error from right field. Soto also belted Scherzer’s pitch in the fourth to center field for his 21st homer of the season and 119th — and perhaps last — with the Nationals.
Corbin, who leads the majors in losses, allowed four runs and seven hits in 4 1/3 innings while striking out four. He has lost five consecutive starts, posting a 10.29 ERA in that span.
New York leadoff man Brandon Nimmo had four hits, his most since collecting a career-high five against Baltimore on Aug. 15, 2018.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Mets: RHP Trevor May (triceps inflammation) pitched Saturday and Sunday for Triple-A Syracuse. Manager Buck Showalter said May could be activated as early as Wednesday. … C James McCann (left oblique strain) homered for Double-A Binghamton during a rehab assignment Sunday and could be activated as soon as Thursday. … Showalter said 1B/DH Dominic Smith (right ankle sprain) could begin a rehab assignment later this week. … New York sent RHP R.J. Alvarez outright to Syracuse.
Nationals: OF Victor Robles, who missed Sunday’s game with leg cramps, returned to the lineup. … Washington selected the contract of INF Ildemaro Vargas from Triple-A Rochester.
NATS DEAL ADRIANZA
Washington sent utility man Ehire Adrianza to Atlanta for minor league outfielder Trey Harris. Adrianza hit .179 with no homers and seven RBIs in 31 games for the Nationals. The 26-year-old Harris hit .238 with two homers and 16 RBIs in 59 games for Double-A Mississippi.
UP NEXT
Mets: DeGrom makes his first major league start since July 7, 2021. He is 9-4 with a 2.44 ERA in 21 career starts against Washington.
Nationals: RHP Cory Abbott (0-0, 2.25) also makes his first start of the season Tuesday night.

My current situation is such that I no longer have to worry about attending Eagles training camp.
While the players, coaches and media were practicing at the NovaCare Complex this week, I was drinking coffee, reading Twitter, checking Facebook and doing Wordle — it was a cinch that I would get it in three (hint, hint) — while teeing it up at Cape May National, paddleboarding in the Cape May Harbor and playing with my grandsons.
I've seen enough training camp workouts to last me a lifetime. To put it in perspective, Tom Brady was a 16-year-old junior in high school when I covered my first camp at West Chester University with coach Rich Kotite and quarterback Randall Cunningham in 1993. Fletcher Cox, 31, was about to enter kindergarten in Yazoo City, Mississippi, when I schlepped to Lehigh University to do stories about coach Ray Rhodes and running back Ricky Watters.
People are also reading…
For who? For what?
I attended 27 Eagles training camps from 1993 to 2019. It featured trips to West Chester (1993-95), Lehigh (1996-2012) and Philly NovaCare (2013-19). There's no truth to the rumor I was at the Eagles first training camp at Bader Field in Atlantic City 1933.
West Chester's practices were conducted in a bowl surrounded by grassy hills that cut off the breezes. Players ran sprints up the hills at the end of the two-a-day sessions. It was commonplace to see them crawling at the end, sweat pouring from every orifice.
Thousands of fans would show up at Lehigh for training camp. They included the late "Eagle" Joe Brown. Brown, who passed away in 2012 at age 62, worked at Acme Supermarkets in Media, Pennsylvania. He used up all his vacation days each year to attend training camp, starting in 1975 at Widener University.
The Eagles decided to follow the growing trend in the NFL and move camp to their in-season facilities at the NovaCare Complex in 2013 under rookie coach Chip Kelly. Music blared from speakers while players sprinted from drill to drill while athletic trainers supervised sleep studies and documented sweat patterns.
Here are a few other memories from training camps, including one that just made me shed a tear.
• Big Dog. One of the first players I interviewed at my first Eagles training camp in 1993 was new safety Erik McMillan. McMillan, who had been the AFC Rookie Defensive Player of the Year, had joined the Eagles after a five-year stint with the New York Jets. I asked him about his expectations for the upcoming season and he replied, "I want to be a big dog." I wasn't sure what he meant until I realized I was wearing a "Big Dog" baseball cap. He was more chihuahua than Saint Bernard, however. McMillan lasted just six games before getting cut.
• Still Watters run deep. New owner Jeffrey Lurie had fired Kotite after he lost the final seven games of the 1994 season and replaced him with Rhodes, a former defensive coordinator for the 49ers. Their biggest offseason acquisition was running back Watters, who followed Rhodes from San Francisco. Watters arrived at West Chester and spoke about his popularity in his hometown of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
"People are always coming up to me and asking me for my autograph and things," Watters said. "I get mauled at the mall."
• Breakfast of champions. Lehigh was all abuzz in 2004. Thousands of fans packed the stands to cheer for new wide receiver Terrell Owens and other new players such as defensive end Jevon Kearse, who was nicknamed "The Freak" because of his combination of size and athleticism. Practices were conducted in brutal heat that affected many players. During one workout, Kearse came over to the sideline, bent over and lost his breakfast.
"How you like them eggs?" he said.
• T.O. for T.O. This was by far the most bizarre training camp of my tenure. Owens, unhappy with his contract, showed up for training camp in 2005 wearing camouflage as if he was ready to do battle with management and brought along agent Drew Rosehaus. He soon blamed quarterback Donovan McNabb for a lack of support and was quickly reprimanded by some teammates, including defensive end Hugh Douglas.
A few days later, Owens skipped a wide receivers autograph session. Coach Andy Reid banished him from camp for a week. Owens retreated to his in-season home in Moorestown and proceeded to do sit-ups in his driveway while helicopters hovered above.
• Tragedy. Garrett Reid, the 29-year-old son of then-Eagles head coach Andy Reid, was found dead in a Lehigh dorm room in August of 2012. The younger Reid, who had served time in jail for heroin-related offenses, was at training camp working with the team's strength and conditioning staff in an unofficial capacity at the time of his death.
• A Special Memory. The image will last with me forever. Eagles quarterback Nick Foles and other players were headed to the locker room at the end of a 2018 training camp practice. Several paused near the entrance and signed autographs for waiting fans. One of them was then-Somers Point resident Kendall Williamson, who was there with her mother, Cindy, and grandfather, Stanley. Kendall, who was 7½ at the time, had been diagnosed with metachromatic leukodystrophy when she was 2. MLD is an incurable genetic disease that aggressively attacks the nervous system. Over the years, Kendall had lost the ability to speak, eat and move.
Foles climbed over a rope, walked into the hospitality tent, and posed for pictures with the family.
"When you see parents and children in those situations, it just breaks my heart," Foles said. "There is more to life than this game. If I can put a little bit of joy in someone's life who is going through tough times, that's more important to me than any pass I complete."
Kendall was not expected to live past age 5, so the family celebrated her birthday every six months.
Cindy and the family were put in touch with the Casey Cares Foundation, a Baltimore-based organization that works with families of critically and terminally ill children to help ease the pain and provide some happiness.
Over the years, Cindy and Kendall visited Hershey Park and made two trips to Eagles training camp. In 2017, Kendall went to her first Phillies game.
Sadly, Kendall passed away on June 12 at age 11.
"I always wanted to be able to teach my daughter about the world," Cindy said in 2018. But she's taught me more than I could have ever hoped to teach her." | https://pressofatlanticcity.com/memories-of-eagles-training-camp-range-from-the-bizarre-to-the-sentimental/article_eb750862-120b-11ed-bc74-23210bf3b868.html | 2022-08-02T03:52:24Z | https://pressofatlanticcity.com/memories-of-eagles-training-camp-range-from-the-bizarre-to-the-sentimental/article_eb750862-120b-11ed-bc74-23210bf3b868.html | false |

CHARLESTON, WV (WOWK) — One person is dead after a shooting in the 500 block of Wyoming Street on Charleston’s West Side.
Metro 911 officials say the call came in just after 10:30 p.m.
They say it is a “code black,” meaning a person has died as a result of the shooting.

At least 14 potential heat deaths in Oregon after hot spell
SEATTLE (AP) - Oregon authorities are investigating four additional deaths potentially linked to last week’s scorching heat wave, bringing the total number of suspected hyperthermia deaths to 14.
The Oregon State Medical Examiner’s Office said Monday the designation of heat-related death is preliminary and requires further investigation.
Multnomah County, which is home to Portland, recorded seven deaths suspected to be related to heat, the highest of any Oregon county.
Portland and Seattle set records Sunday for most consecutive days of high temperatures.
In Portland, temperatures on Sunday rose above 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35 Celsius) for the seventh day in a row, a record for the city for consecutive days above that mark. Further north in Seattle, the temperature rose to 91 F (32.8 C) by early afternoon, marking a record six days above 90 F (32.2 C).
Temperatures neared the triple digits nearly all of last week in the Portland area, prompting officials to open emergency overnight shelters and cooling stations.
The National Weather Service issued an excessive heat warning for both the Portland and Seattle regions lasting through late Sunday evening. Temperatures started to cool off on Monday as colder air from the Pacific blows in.
Climate change is fueling longer heat waves in the Pacific Northwest, a region where weeklong heat spells were historically rare, according to climate experts.
Residents and officials in the Northwest have been trying to adjust to the likely reality of longer, hotter heat waves following last summer’s deadly “heat dome” weather phenomenon that prompted record temperatures and deaths.
About 800 people died in Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia during that heat wave, which hit in late June and early July of 2021. The temperature hit an all-time high of 116 F (46.7 C) in Portland.

A Great Falls man faces charges of assault with a weapon and criminal endangerment, both felonies, after he allegedly hit a man with his car and left him unconscious and bleeding in the street.
The following information comes directly from charging documents. The defendant is considered innocent until proven guilty.
On July 29, Evan Thomas Blaine, 22, contacted the Great Falls Police Department reporting that someone had thrown a rock at his windshield while he was driving and shattered it. He said it happened on Central Avenue and that he would wait for police at the Paris Gibson Square Museum of Art.
Meanwhile, another officer was driving on the 900 block of Central Avenue when he spotted a man facedown on the roadway in a puddle of blood. The affidavit states that he was unconscious and that his injuries were consistent with being struck by a vehicle.
When officers responded to Paris Gibson Square, Blaine was not there. Dispatch called him and directed him to meet officers at the police station, and Blaine complied.
When officers interviewed Blaine, he reportedly told them the man had thrown a rock at his windshield and then "leaned into the roadway” and was struck by Blaine’s vehicle.
Around the same time, officers contacted Blaine’s girlfriend, who said she had been in the vehicle at the time of the incident. The woman said Blaine was eastbound on Central Avenue when they saw the victim in the westbound lane, waving his arms and yelling.
She said Blaine turned the vehicle around and, without provocation, sprayed the victim with bear spray. She said Blaine then turned around again and struck the victim with the vehicle.
The woman said she asked repeatedly to get out of the vehicle, but Blaine would not let her leave. She said she was able to jump out on Central Avenue and 12th Street.
The woman also told police that Blaine was a heavy illegal drug user, and police believe it is possible he was under the influence at the time of the incident.
At the time the affidavit was filed, the victim was about to undergo surgery, and police did not know his prognosis. Police at the scene were not able to interview the man because he was unconscious.
As of Monday morning, the Cascade County Attorney's Office said the man is still alive.
Blaine is currently held at the Cascade County Detention Center on a $75,000 bond. | https://www.greatfallstribune.com/story/news/crime/2022/08/01/driver-arrested-in-alleged-hit-and-run-in-great-falls/65388690007/ | 2022-08-02T03:58:41Z | https://www.greatfallstribune.com/story/news/crime/2022/08/01/driver-arrested-in-alleged-hit-and-run-in-great-falls/65388690007/ | true |

Former US President Barack Obama on Monday welcomed the killing of Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri .
al-Zawahiri was killed in a drone strike carried out by the US in Afghanistan's capital Kabul.
Obama said that the killing is proof that it ispossible to fight terrorism without being at war in Afghanistan.
"More than 20 years after 9/11, one of the masterminds of that terrorist attack and Osama bin Laden's successor as the leader of al-Qaeda – Ayman al-Zawahiri – has finally been brought to justice," Obama said.

— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) August 2, 2022
"It's a tribute to President Biden's leadership, to the members of the intelligence community who have been working for decades for this moment, and to the counterterrorism professionals who were able to take al-Zawahiri out without a single civilian casualty.
"Tonight's news is also proof that it's possible to root out terrorism without being at war in Afghanistan. And I hope it provides a small measure of peace to the 9/11 families and everyone else who has suffered at the hands of al-Qaeda," the former US President added.
President Joe Biden announced al-Zawahiri's killing on Monday in a televised address.
"Justice has been delivered and this terrorist leader is no more," Biden said.
"The United States continues to demonstrate our resolve and our capacity to defend the American people against those who seek to do us harm. Tonight we made clear: No matter how long it takes. No matter where you try to hide. We will find you," Biden later tweeted.

NEW YORK — The United Nations chief warned Monday that “humanity is just one misunderstanding, one miscalculation away from nuclear annihilation,” citing the war in Ukraine, nuclear threats in Asia and the Middle East and many other factors.
Secretary-General Antonio Guterres gave the dire warning at the opening of the long-delayed high-level meeting to review the landmark 50-year-old treaty aimed at preventing the spread of nuclear weapons and eventually achieving a nuclear-free world.
The danger of increasing nuclear threats and a nuclear catastrophe was also raised by the United States, Japan, Germany, the U.N. nuclear chief and many other opening speakers at the meeting to review progress and agree to future steps to implement the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, known as the NPT.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said North Korea is preparing to conduct its seventh nuclear test, Iran “has either been unwilling or unable” to accept a deal to return to the 2015 nuclear agreement aimed at reining in its nuclear program, and Russia is “engaged in reckless, dangerous nuclear saber-rattling” in Ukraine.
He cited Russian President Vladimir Putin’s warning after its Feb. 24 invasion that any attempt to interfere would lead to “consequences you have never seen,” emphasizing that his country is “one of the most potent nuclear powers.”
This is contrary to assurances given to Ukraine of its sovereignty and independence when in gave up its Soviet-era nuclear weapons in 1994, Blinken said, and sends “the worst possible message” to any country thinking it needs nuclear weapons to defend itself and deter aggression.
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said divisions in the world since the last review conference in 2015, which ended without a consensus document, have become greater, stressing that Russia’s threat to use nuclear weapons in the Ukraine war has contributed “to worldwide concern that yet another catastrophe by nuclear weapon use is a real possibility.”
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock accused Russia of “brutally violating the assurances” it gave Ukraine in 1994 and said Moscow's “reckless nuclear rhetoric” since its invasion of its smaller neighbor “is putting at risk everything the NPT has achieved in five decades.”
Putin appeared to roll back on his nuclear warning in a message of greetings to NPT participants posted on his website Monday.
“We believe that a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought, and we stand for equal and indivisible security for all members of the world community,” the Russian leader said.
Putin said his country “consistently follows the letter and spirit" of the NPT and expects all parties to “strictly comply with their commitments” and make “a significant contribution" at the conference to strengthening the non-proliferation regime “to ensure peace, security and stability in the world.”
Most recently, Blinken said Russia seized Europe’s largest nuclear power plant in Zaporizhzhya and is using it as a military base to fire at Ukrainians, “knowing that they can’t and won’t shoot back because they might accidentally strike a nuclear reactor or highly radioactive waste in storage.” He said this brings the notion of having “a human shield to an entirely different and horrific level.”
Russia’s delegation to the NPT issued a statement Monday night strongly rejecting Blinken’s contention that Russia is using the Zaporizhzhya plant as a military base, saying a limited number of servicemen are there “to ensure safety and security at the power plant.”
Rafael Grossi, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said the Ukraine conflict is “so grave that the specter of a potential nuclear confrontation, or accident, has raised its terrifying head again.”
He warned that at the Zaporizhzhya nuclear plant “the situation is becoming more perilous by the day,” and he urged all countries to help make possible his visit to the plant with a team of IAEA safety and security experts, saying his efforts for the past two months have been unsuccessful.
Guterres told many ministers, officials and diplomats gathered in the General Assembly Hall that the month-long review conference is taking place “at a time of nuclear danger not seen since the height of the Cold War.”
The conference is “an opportunity to hammer out the measures that will help avoid certain disaster, and to put humanity on a new path towards a world free of nuclear weapons,” the secretary-general said.
But Guterres warned that “geopolitical weapons are reaching new highs,” almost 13,000 nuclear weapons are in arsenals around the world, and countries seeking “false security” are spending hundreds of billions of dollars on “doomsday weapons.”
“All this at a time when the risks of proliferation are growing and guardrails to prevent escalation are weakening,” he said, “And when crises -- with nuclear undertones -- are festering from the Middle East and the Korean Peninsula to the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, and to many other factors around the world.”
Guterres called on conference participants to take several actions: urgently reinforce and reaffirm “the 77-year-old norm against the use of nuclear weapons,” work relentlessly toward eliminating nuclear weapons with new commitments to reduce arsenals, address “the simmering tensions in the Middle Est and Asia” and promote the peaceful use of nuclear technology.
“Future generations are counting on your commitment to step back from the abyss,” he implored the ministers and diplomats. “This is our moment to meet this fundamental test and lift the cloud of nuclear annihilation once and for all.”
Japan’s Kishida, recalling his home city of Hiroshima where the first atomic bomb was dropped in August 1945, echoed many of Guterres’ points saying the path to a world without nuclear weapons has become harder but “giving up is not an option.”
In force since 1970, the Nonproliferation Treaty known as the NPT has the widest adherence of any arms control agreement, with some 191 countries that are members.
Under its provisions, the five original nuclear powers -- the United States, China, Russia (then the Soviet Union), Britain and France -- agreed to negotiate toward eliminating their arsenals someday and nations without nuclear weapons promised not to acquire them in exchange for a guarantee to be able to develop nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.
India and Pakistan, which didn’t join the NPT, went on to get the bomb. So did North Korea, which ratified the pact but later announced it was withdrawing. Non-signatory Israel is believed to have a nuclear arsenal but neither confirms nor denies it. Nonetheless, the treaty has been credited with limiting the number of nuclear newcomers (U.S. President John F. Kennedy once foresaw as many as 20 nuclear-armed nations) as a framework for international cooperation on disarmament.
The meeting, which ends Aug. 26, aims to generate a consensus on next steps, but expectations are low for a substantial — if any — agreement. There were 133 speakers as of Monday, plus dozens of side events.
The NPT’s five-year review was supposed to take place in 2020, when the world already faced plenty of crisis, but was delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Patricia Lewis, former director of the U.N. Institute for Disarmament Research who is now in charge of international security programs at the international affairs think tank Chatham House in London, said “President Putin’s threats to use nuclear weapons have shocked the international community.”
Russia is not only an NPT signatory but a depository for treaty ratifications and in January it joined the four other nuclear powers in reiterating the statement by former U.S. President Ronald Reagan and former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev that “a nuclear war can never be won and must never be fought,” she told The Associated Press.
Lewis said countries participating in the review conference will have a difficult decision to make.
To support the treaty and what it stands for, “governments will have to address Russia’s behavior and threats,” she said. “On the other hand, to do so risks dividing the treaty members -- some of whom have been persuaded by Russia’s propaganda or at least are not as concerned, for example, as the NATO states.”
And “Russia no doubt will strenuously object to being named in statements and any outcome documents,” Lewis said.

Fishermen catch a Greenland shark in the Caribbean, off the coast of Belize
Greenland sharks can live for more than 400 years — they're the longest-living vertebrates on the planet. They are typically only found in deep, icy water in the Arctic and North Atlantic.
ASMA KHALID, HOST:
Good morning. I'm Asma Khalid.
Greenland sharks can live for more than 400 years. They are the longest-living vertebrates on the planet, and they're typically only found in deep, icy water in the Arctic and North Atlantic. But one was recently discovered a long way from home. Local fishermen caught a Greenland shark in the Caribbean, off the coast of Belize - reportedly the first ever caught in those warm tropical waters. Hey, who says sharks don't take vacations?

SEATTLE (AP) — Patty Murray is running for a sixth term in the U.S. Senate and, if reelected, she'd join two former Democratic stalwarts as the longest serving senators from Washington state.
Murray, 71, was first elected to the chamber in 1992 during the “Year of the Woman" and has aggressively promoted her support of abortion rights ahead of Tuesday's primary. Her most high-profile opponent is Republican Tiffany Smiley, a well-funded first-time candidate who says it's time Washington had a new senator.
Murray's nearly 30 years in the Senate place her behind only Democratic Sens. Warren Magnuson and Henry “Scoop” Jackson for longest service in the Senate from the Evergreen State. The powerhouse duo served 36 years and 30 years, respectively, and were among the most powerful senators of the mid-20th century.
Murray is now a member of the Democratic leadership and has risen to chair of the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.
Murray would be the favorite in the November election as Washington hasn’t elected a Republican to the U.S. Senate since 1994. But she's taking no chances in what could be a tough year for Democrats with rising inflation and economic turmoil.
Murray’s campaign has spent more than $1 million to run television ads since June blasting Smiley for supporting Roe v. Wade’s reversal.
“I want a country where everyone can make their own choices," Murray has said.
Murray and Smiley appear on the same nonpartisan primary ballot Tuesday, where the top two vote-getters advance to the general election, regardless of party.
Smiley, 41, is a mother of three who has highlighted her advocacy for her husband, a military veteran who was blinded in an explosion while serving in Iraq in 2005.
Smiley worked as a triage nurse until her husband, Scotty, was blinded. She quit her job and flew to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center to be by his side.
Smiley says she worked tirelessly to stop the Army from pushing her husband, a West Point graduate, into a medical retirement. Instead, he became the first blind active-duty officer in the Army, and is featured in her political ads.
She recently announced her campaign had raised $2.6 million in the second quarter and had $3.5 million in cash on hand. Murray reported raising $2.6 million in the same quarter, with about $6.6 million in the bank at the end of June.
Smiley, a former nurse from Pasco, Washington, said the Supreme Court’s decision on Roe leaves it to voters in individual states to decide if they wanted to allow abortions. Smiley said she doesn’t support a nationwide ban on abortion, despite what Murray has contended in her ads.
Murray, Smiley has said, is "resorting to misleading scare tactics. It shows desperation.”
Murray is also highlighting her efforts to help middle-class families, saying there should be more tax cuts for them than for corporations.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi arrived in Malaysia on Tuesday for the second leg of an Asian tour that has been clouded by an expected stop in Taiwan, which would escalate tensions with Beijing.
While there have been no official announcements, local media in Taiwan reported that Pelosi will arrive in Taipei on Tuesday night, becoming the highest-ranking elected U.S. official to visit in more than 25 years. The United Daily News, Liberty Times and China Times — Taiwan’s three largest national newspapers — cited unidentified sources as saying she would fly to Taipei and spend the night after visiting Malaysia.
China, which regards Taiwan as its territory, has warned of repercussions, saying its military will “never sit idly by” if Pelosi pushes ahead with the visit.
The White House on Monday decried Beijing's rhetoric, saying the U.S. has no interest in deepening tensions with China and “will not take the bait or engage in saber rattling.”
White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby underscored that the decision on whether to visit the self-ruled island was ultimately Pelosi’s. He noted that members of Congress have routinely visited Taiwan over the years.
Kirby said administration officials are concerned that Beijing could use the visit as an excuse to take provocative retaliatory steps, including military action such as firing missiles in the Taiwan Strait or around Taiwan, or flying sorties into Taiwan’s airspace and carrying out large-scale naval exercises in the strait.
“Put simply, there is no reason for Beijing to turn a potential visit consistent with long-standing U.S. policy into some sort of crisis or use it as a pretext to increase aggressive military activity in or around the Taiwan Strait,” Kirby said.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken also urged China to “act responsibly” in the event that Pelosi proceeds with the visit.
“If the speaker does decide to visit, and China tries to create some kind of a crisis or otherwise escalate tensions, that would be entirely on Beijing,” he told reporters at U.N. headquarters in New York. “We are looking for them, in the event she decides to visit, to act responsibly and not to engage in any escalation going forward.”
China has been steadily ratcheting up diplomatic and military pressure on Taiwan. Threats of retaliation for a visit by Pelosi have driven concerns of a new crisis in the Taiwan Strait, which separates the two sides, that could roil global markets and supply chains.
Beijing sees official American contact with Taiwan as encouragement to make the island’s decades-old de facto independence permanent, a step U.S. leaders say they don’t support. Pelosi, head of one of three branches of the U.S. government, would be the highest-ranking elected American official to visit Taiwan since then-Speaker Newt Gingrich in 1997.
Pelosi kicked off her Asian tour in Singapore on Monday but her purported visit to Taiwan has raised concerns in the region.
Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong “highlighted the importance of stable U.S.-China relations for regional peace and security” during talks with Pelosi, the city-state’s foreign ministry said. This was echoed by Japan’s Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi in Tokyo, who said stable ties between the two rival powers “are extremely important for the international community as well.”
Taiwan and China split in 1949 after the Communists won a civil war on the mainland. Both sides say they are one country but disagree over which government is entitled to national leadership. They have no official relations but are linked by billions of dollars of trade and investment.
The United States switched diplomatic recognition from Taipei to Beijing in 1979, but maintains informal relations with the island. Washington is obligated by the Taiwan Relations Act, a federal law, to see that Taiwan has the means to defend itself.
Washington’s “One China policy” says it takes no position on the status of the two sides but wants their dispute resolved peacefully. Beijing promotes an alternative “One China principle” that says they are one country and the Communist Party is its leader.
Pelosi is expected to call on lower house Speaker Azhar Azizan Harun in Parliament before adjourning for a luncheon meet with Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob, Bernama said. On Thursday, she is to meet with South Korean National Assembly Speaker Kim Jin Pyo in Seoul for talks on security in the Indo-Pacific region, economic cooperation and the climate crisis, according to Kim’s office. Pelosi is also due to visit Japan, but it is unclear when she heading there. | https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/pelosi-arrives-in-malaysia-tensions-rise-over-taiwan-visit/2022/08/02/401cd500-1218-11ed-8482-06c1c84ce8f2_story.html | 2022-08-02T04:32:47Z | https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/pelosi-arrives-in-malaysia-tensions-rise-over-taiwan-visit/2022/08/02/401cd500-1218-11ed-8482-06c1c84ce8f2_story.html | false |
Editor's Note: The following is a column written June 15, 2002, by Vin Sylvia, our former deputy managing editor for news and sports.
THE QUESTION was all wrong, phrased as if I had momentarily forgotten that the man I was interviewing was the greatest team player in the history of American professional sports.
“How would you go about defending Shaq?” I asked.
“I don’t know how to answer that,” Bill Russell responded. “’What do I have to do to beat the Lakers?’ That’s how I would approach it.
‘What can I do that will enable my team to beat them?’”
Russell was in Manchester Thursday to address employees of Citizens Bank on the topics of teamwork and leadership, two subjects with which the 11-time NBA champion and pioneer among African American head coaches is eminently well acquainted. That’s the great thing about Russell as motivational speaker: He doesn’t just espouse the virtues about which he speaks; he’s lived them.
Check the record. In a span of four years, Russell-led teams — the University of San Francisco, the U.S. Olympic squad and the Boston Celtics — won four major basketball titles: 1955 and ‘56 NCAA champions, 1956 gold medalists, and 1957 NBA champs. In 1966, he became the first African-American field or floor manager in any pro sport other than the Negro Leagues of Professional Baseball. In 1968 and ‘69, his last two seasons in uniform, he led the Celtics to consecutive championships as player-coach.
Boston had never won an NBA title before Russell’s arrival. It went five years without a championship after he left.
Which brings us back to Shaq.
There was a late- ‘50s to early- ‘70s predecessor to Shaquille O’Neal. His name was Wilt Chamberlain.
As Shaq is now, Wilt was then the league’s most imposing physical presence. As Shaq is now, Wilt was a virtually unstoppable offensive force.
Unlike Shaq, however, Wilt had a nemesis. His name was Bill Russell.
In the 10 years they played against each other, Chamberlain won eight league rebounding titles to Russell’s two and captured seven scoring titles to Russell’s zero. (Russell’s signature skill was shot-blocking, for which no statistics were kept.)
But Russell’s teams during those 10 years won nine NBA championships. Chamberlain’s won one.
Seated in a conference room at Citizens’ New Hampshire headquarters on Elm Street after his pep talk to the bank’s employees, Russell paused for a moment to consider his legacy as consummate team player, consummate winner.
“That is my agenda,” he said, using the present tense to underscore his ongoing emphasis on teamwork and winning as corporate pitchman.
“When I was a junior in college,” he continued, “my attitude was solidified. I had an extraordinary year. I averaged 20 points and 21 rebounds and probably close to 20 blocked shots a game. I was named the country’s No. 1 defensive player and MVP of the Final Four.
“When I went home (to San Francisco), I attended a sports banquet where an award was presented for Northern California basketball player of the year. I was named runner-up, and I was offended. It was then and there that I determined, ‘If my team wins a championship every year, there’s no quarrel anyone can come up with to deny me that.’”
In the afterglow of this year’s Super Bowl victory by the superstar-less Patriots, the concept of deriving personal satisfaction from team achievement is very much in vogue in these parts. Russell is, too.
Never fully embraced in Boston during his playing days — the era’s racial turmoil, the city’s mostly (if unofficially) segregated social structure, and his own distant public persona made for a difficult combination — Russell in recent years has become a frequent visitor from his home in Seattle, nurturing his once troubled relationship with the area while strengthening his bond with the organization that has been a part of his life for nearly half a century.
Forever close to his former coach, Red Auerbach, as well as to former teammates such as Bob Cousy, K.C. Jones and Satch Sanders, Russell also has become a mentor to the current generation of Celtics stars, particularly Antoine Walker and Paul Pierce. Ask him about Walker and Pierce, though, and he’ll tell you he views them more as peers than as proteges.
“I don’t want them to look up at me,” he said. “I want them to look across the table at me. We have something very special in common. I tell them, ‘You’re a Celtic. This is a unique opportunity in your life.’”
As for the opportunity to find out what Russell would do to enable his team to beat Shaq’s Lakers, he never did answer his own question.
Again, though, check the record. In 13 seasons, Russell won 11 championships. In 10 seasons, Shaq has won three.
What would Russell do to enable his team to defeat Shaq’s? I don’t know exactly, but I believe he’d find a way. | https://www.unionleader.com/sports/celtics/bill-russell-lived-the-virtues/article_64858377-c46e-5a85-8436-bd9917455792.html | 2022-08-02T04:38:52Z | https://www.unionleader.com/sports/celtics/bill-russell-lived-the-virtues/article_64858377-c46e-5a85-8436-bd9917455792.html | false |

Tiger Woods turned down an offer that Greg Norman says was "somewhere in that neighborhood” of $700 million to $800 million to take part in the Saudi-funded LIV Golf series.
During an appearance on Fox News with Tucker Carlson that aired Monday night, Norman confirmed what he told the Washington Post in a story two months ago. Norman told the Post in June the offer was “mind-blowingly enormous; we’re talking about high nine digits.”
Woods has been opposed to LIV Golf since late last year, and he delivered his strongest comments at the British Open when he said players who took the money funded by the Saudi Arabian sovereign wealth fund had “turned their back” on the PGA Tour that made them famous.
When an offer was made to Woods was not clear.
“That number was out there before I became CEO. So that number has been out there, yes,” Norman said in the Fox News interview, which took place Sunday at Trump National in Bedminster, New Jersey, where the third LIV Golf Invitational was held.
“And, look, Tiger is a needle-mover and of course you have to look at the best of the best,” Norman said. “So they had originally approached Tiger before I became CEO. So, yes, that number was somewhere in that neighborhood.”
Various reports out of the United Kingdom have said Phil Mickelson received a $200 million signing bonus, while Dustin Johnson received $150 million. The 48-man fields, which play 54 holes with no cut, offer $25 million in prize money at each event. Norman announced a 14-tournament schedule for next year.
LIV Golf currently has only one player -- Johnson at No. 18 -- from the top 20 in the world.
The source of the funding has led to sharp criticism of the series and the players who have enlisted because it is viewed as an attempt to distract attention from its human rights record and links to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Asked why his rival tour has caused such an uproar among American golf fans, Norman responded plainly, “I don’t know.”
“I really don’t care,” Norman said. “I just love the game so much and I want to grow the game of golf and we at LIV see that opportunity not just for the men but for the women.”
The LIV Golf Invitational is off for a month during the FedEx Cup playoffs on the PGA Tour, returning over Labor Day weekend about an hour west of Boston, and then two weeks later plays in the Chicago suburbs.

Reports: Braves send RP Will Smith to Astros for Jake Odorizzi
A pair of World Series contenders swapped arms on Monday night as the Houston Astros sent starting pitcher Jake Odorizzi to the Atlanta Braves in exchange for reliever Will Smith, according to multiple reports.
With the trade deadline on Tuesday, the defending champions had a busy evening, as the Braves also agreed to a deal that will bring outfielder Robbie Grossman to Atlanta from Detroit.
Though the Braves entered the day sixth in the majors in team ERA, their starters' 3.86 ERA is 12th in baseball. Odorizzi, an All-Star with Minnesota in 2019, is 4-3 in 12 starts this season with a 3.75 ERA across 60 innings pitched.
He returned from a month-and-a-half long absence on July 4 after suffering a leg injury on May 16 that forced the right-hander to be carted off the field in Boston.
He is 72-66 with a 3.94 ERA over his 11-year career and has appeared in three playoff games -- all since 2019. The 32-year-old is 0-1 in those games, surrendering six earned runs over 11 1/3 innings.
Smith, 33, has been with Atlanta since the beginning of the 2020 season and is 0-1 with a 4.38 ERA and five saves in 41 games this season.
The left-hander, who was an All-Star in 2019 with San Francisco, saved 37 games and led the league with 60 games finished last season. He then went 2-0 with six saves over 11 appearances in the Braves' postseason run in 2021.
But the arrival of closer Kenley Jansen in the offseason limited Smith's save opportunities this season. With Houston, he will join a bullpen that leads the majors in relievers' ERA (2.77 entering Monday) and is fifth with 31 saves.
Smith is 31-32 with a 3.61 career ERA in 10 seasons with the Braves, Giants, Milwaukee Brewers and Kansas City Royals. He has also tallied 91 saves.
In the other deal, the Braves sent 20-year-old minor league pitcher Kris Anglin back to Detroit for Grossman.
Grossman, 32, appeared in 83 games with Detroit this season, hitting .205 with two home runs and 23 RBIs. The switch-hitter's numbers against lefties are particularly impressive, as he is hitting .364 against southpaws this season.
Grossman has started 43 games in left field and 31 in right field this season, bringing versatility to both the plate and the field for the Braves, who trail the New York Mets by 3 1/2 games in the National League East.
The Braves already sport an outfield of Ronald Acuna Jr., rookie Michael Harris II and 2021 postseason star Eddie Rosario, with Marcell Ozuna also spending time in the outfield.
The left-handed Anglin has appeared in 17 games between Class-A and the Braves' affiliate in the rookie-level Florida Complex League, going 4-6 with a 4.64 ERA.

Barcelona visits New York's iconic Electric Lady Studios and are welcomed by singer Chloe, who shares a sneak peak of her new record in exchange for a Barca shirt with her name and number on the back
- Spotify invited Barcelona to visit the iconic Electric Lady Studios in New York
- The players were mobbed by supporters upon their arrival at the studios
- They presented the singer Chloe with her own Barca shirt with her name on
Soccer royalty crossed paths with music history in New York this week as Barcelona visited the iconic Electric Lady Studios in Greenwich Village.
The LaLiga giant has recently started a sponsorship with Spotify, worth $288million, and while the club is on its preseason tour of the United States, the new sponsors invited them to Electric Lady.
The recording studio was bought and designed by Jimi Hendrix in 1968 and opened in 1970, about three weeks before Hendrix died in England. Artists ranging from David Bowie and Led Zeppelin to Taylor Swift and Beyonce have recorded there over the years.
Barcelona were invited by Spotify to visit the iconic Electric Lady Studios in New York
The team and Thierry Henry were greeted by the singer Chloe - they have her a Barca shirt
Chloe said Barcelona were 'the nicest guys I've ever met' on the trip to the studio
Spotify has had a residency at the studios since 2019 and have worked with musicians to produce the exclusive 'Live at Electric Lady' recordings.
Now making a foray into football, they got Barcelona to make a visit and word had clearly got out, with a large group of fans waiting outside the studio to catch a glimpse of their heroes.
When the players arrived, they were given a tour of the venue. The artist Chloe was working on her new record and she gave the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Raphinha and club legend Thierry Henry a sneak listen.
Barca returned the gesture by presenting her with her own shirt, with 'Chloe 98' on the back - marking the year she was born.
'Thank you Barcelona - the nicest guys I have ever met,' the singer wrote on her Instagram story, commemorating their meeting.
Barcelona were mobbed by fans on arrival and were given a tour of the studios
Barcelona's preseason tour of America was rounded out with a 2-0 win against New York Red Bulls on Saturday night.
It also met Juventus in a friendly in Texas and drew 2-2, routed Inter Miami 6-0 as well as beating fierce rival Real Madrid 1-0 in a Clasico exhibition in Nevada.
Xavi's side returns to Spain for one last friendly against Mexican side Punas before the Spanish league starts.
Barcelona meets Rayo Vallecano at the Nou Camp on August 13 to begin its campaign. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11071473/Barcelona-visits-New-Yorks-iconic-Electric-Lady-Studios-welcomed-singer-Chloe.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-08-02T05:24:43Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11071473/Barcelona-visits-New-Yorks-iconic-Electric-Lady-Studios-welcomed-singer-Chloe.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false |

GARRETT, Ky. (AP) — This tiny sliver of a town off a state highway in eastern Kentucky has been home to Brenda Francis and her husband, Paul, for decades.
Paul Francis was born 73 years ago in this house, a yellow and brown one-story, which like many dwellings in Garrett is nestled in a valley between tall, forested hills. The retired school teacher loves it here, and the couple was gifted the house by his parents about 40 years ago.
But after another flood — this one maybe the worst they’ve seen — Brenda Francis said she is done. She joins many others in this corner of Appalachia who see this latest disaster as a devastating blow to their lifestyle. Some say they're considering moving away, despite their deep roots.
Francis, 66, said her husband wants to stay: “But not me. I don’t want to live here no more, and he knows it. So we’re going to be getting out of here.”
Kentucky’s Appalachian region has known hardship. The coal economy withered away and took the good-paying jobs with it. The opioid crisis flooded towns with millions of pain pills. Prospects were so bleak that many people left, cutting the population in many counties by double digit percentages in the past two decades. In the Francis' home county of Floyd, the population has declined by 15% since 2000. And household annual income in many of the counties hit hardest by last week's flooding is a little more than half the national average of about $65,000.
But many stayed, held by ties to their communities, families and their history here. The flooding that hit the area last week is making even some of those stalwarts reconsider, especially in and around Garrett, a community of about 1,300 people that was founded by a coal company in the early 1900s.
The region's strong social fabric and familial connections give pause to people considering moving away from home, said Ann Kingsolver, an Appalachian Studies professor at the University of Kentucky.
“Social capital is really important,” Kingsolver said in an email message. “Those are the resources that people have through investing in social networks of kin and neighbors over many years— a kind of wealth beyond monetary value.”
When the 2008 financial crisis hit, she said, many young people moved back to rural communities in Appalachia because they had a place to live and child care options.
Kingsolver said there is little available rental or motel space in those rural areas, but flooding victims often get help and shelter from relatives and neighbors nearby.
Pam Caudill lives on the same street as her son, who's been a big help since the floodwaters reached 4 feet (1.2 meters) high in her home in Wayland, just a few minutes from Garrett.
Her husband died of a heart attack in May, and the flooding has tested her resolve to remain in her small town.
“I have thought about it, but here’s the thing: It took everything that me and my husband could do to buy a house,” she said, weeping. “It’s hard to let go of something that you worked so hard for.”
So she and her son will instead see what can be salvaged in her home and hope the foundation remains solid.
“It was my husband’s home; it’s my children’s home,” said Caudill, who temporarily relocated to a state park shelter over the weekend. “Wayland the town has always been their home.”
Two miles outside Garrett, 104-year-old Annis Clark rode out the storm on her own as she lost electricity and her basement flooded. She and her husband built their house in the ’50s, and she’s stayed long after he died in the 1980s, her son, Michael Clark said.
“She’s a survivor. I don’t know of any other way to put it,” said Clark, who attended Garrett High School and then moved away to Lexington, where he worked in television production and operations. “I have no doubt she will stay here until she’s done.”
Clark was buying supplies for her Monday in nearby Prestonsburg. He graduated from high school in 1964, and said many of his classmates moved away like he did to seek jobs. In many parts of eastern Kentucky, he said, “unless you wanted to be a (coal) miner, your options would typically be teacher.”
In Garrett, Brenda Francis despaired at the inches of mud that had flowed into the area under their home, which was raised after a flood in the 1950s, when her husband’s parents lived there.
“When you get older, you’re not able to clean all this up. We’re just totally exhausted,” Francis said. “How are we going to get this mud out of here?”
Despite his wife’s frustrations, Paul Francis was cheerfully cleaning up the family homestead, stacking toys in a ’70s pickup truck his father bought brand new. Sloshing around in rubber boots, he smiled as he prepared to hook up a pressure washer to clean mud from his grandchildren’s toys.
Their grandchildren are one of the reasons Brenda Francis wants to move away, to higher ground in Prestonsburg, where the children live. She said they, like many in town, have no flood insurance on their house — but they do have a possible buyer. She's hoping the fact that the house's living spaces stayed dry will make it a desirable property.
Her adult sons love the town of Garrett, but “they’re all grown and got their own families now. They don’t want to come back here,” she said as her husband's pressure washer hummed in the background.
“Who would want to come?" she said. “It still floods here.”

CLEVELAND (AP) — Amed Rosario homered early and singled in the winning run in the 11th inning for his third hit of the game as the Cleveland Guardians beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-5 on Monday night.
Rosario hit a line drive past a diving Christian Walker at first base and into right field to score rookie Will Benson from third, setting off a celebration behind the mound.
Rosario, who launched a two-run homer in the first, lined a 1-0 pitch from Mark Melancon (3-10), the Diamondbacks’ 10th pitcher. Will Benson began the inning as the automatic runner at second and moved to third on Austin Hedges’ bunt.
Steven Kwan walked and stole second, but Myles Straw grounded out before Rosario gave Cleveland its fifth walk-off win of the season.
Arizona advanced a runner to third with one out in the 11th, but Sam Hentges (3-2) retired Jake McCarthy on a line drive to second baseman Andrés Giménez, and pinch-hitter Buddy Kennedy struck out.
Arizona pushed across the go-ahead run in the 10th when Ketel Marte hit into a double play, but Giménez tied it with an RBI single.
The ball was flying out of Progressive Field early on an 84-degree night. Daulton Varsho’s solo home run put Arizona ahead in the second, but Owen Miller’s two-run homer gave Cleveland the lead in the bottom of the inning.
Rosario hit a two-run homer in the third, but Walker’s three-run shot in the fourth off Cal Quantrill erased a 4-1 deficit.
Zach Davies allowed both home runs in his first start since June 25. The right-hander was on the injured list with shoulder inflammation and was activated before the game. Davies was pulled after Rosario’s home run in the third and charged with four runs.
Quantrill allowed four runs in six innings.
Kwan, who had two hits to extend his hitting streak to 15 games, singled with one out in the ninth. Ian Kennedy struck out Rosario and retired José Ramírez on a fly ball.
Arizona reliever Kevin Ginkel, selected from Triple-A Reno on Monday, struck out the side in the fourth and missed an immaculate inning by one pitch. Nolan Jones and Hedges each struck out on three pitches. Straw fouled off an 0-2 pitch before taking a called strike three.
HE’S BACK
Guardians first baseman Josh Naylor returned after missing two games because of numbness in his surgically repaired right ankle. He tested his ankle and was cleared by the team’s medical staff to play Monday. Naylor has also been dealing with a sore back.
“He went out and ran and did everything,” manager Terry Francona said. “I told him, ‘I want you to play, you’ve got to be OK’d.’ So, they did OK it.”
MEMORABLE CALL-UP
Benson was in line at a restaurant in Louisville, Kentucky, on Sunday when he got a phone call informing him he was being promoted to Cleveland from Triple-A Columbus.
“I was in Taco Bell because my girl wanted Taco Bell,” Benson said. “But it all worked out perfect because the Taco Bell was pretty close to the Omni hotel where my parents were staying so I was able to drive back and tell my parents. It was crazy. We literally went crazy in valet, just jumping around, screaming.”
Benson made his major league debut in right field in the ninth inning.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Diamondbacks: LHP Caleb Smith was placed on the 15-day injured list with a fracture of his non-pitching hand. The injury occurred after he was removed from Saturday’s game against Atlanta. “Caleb broke his hand by punching something that he shouldn’t have been punching,” manager Torey Lovullo said.
Guardians: Miller was removed from Saturday’s game after being hit on the right elbow by a pitch and didn’t play Sunday.
UP NEXT
Diamondbacks: RHP Zac Gallen (5-2, 3.24 ERA) will make his first career start against Cleveland in the second game of the series Tuesday night. He’s allowed three earned runs over 18 2/3 innings in his last three starts.
Guardians: RHP Triston McKenzie (7-7, 3.24 ERA) gave up a three-run homer to Xander Bogaerts and lost to the Red Sox on Thursday.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency in the state Monday due to the current monkeypox outbreak.
The alert was issued to help the state health department amp up its vaccination, education and outreach efforts in response to the virus, Newsom said in a statement.
"California is working urgently across all levels of government to slow the spread of monkeypox, leveraging our robust testing, contact tracing and community partnerships strengthened during the pandemic to ensure that those most at risk are our focus for vaccines, treatment and outreach," Newsom said.
He continued, "We'll continue to work with the federal government to secure more vaccines, raise awareness about reducing risk, and stand with the LGBTQ community fighting stigmatization."
The first California case of the current outbreak of monkeypox was confirmed May 25. The total count in the state is now 825, compared to 5,811 cases nationwide.
So far, California has administered 25,000 doses of the monkeypox vaccine, and received about 61,000 doses, Newsom said.

For Asia’s migrant workers, extreme heat is a ‘matter of life and death’
By Heather Chen, CNN
It was mid-afternoon on a sweltering Saturday when Raj, a laborer from northwest India, started feeling dizzy as he hauled heavy bags of concrete mix and sand on a construction site in downtown Singapore.
Temperatures had reached 34 degrees Celsius (94 degrees Fahrenheit), but Raj carried on despite the heat and soon developed a splitting headache. Within minutes, he collapsed to his knees and vomited.
“I felt very weak,” Raj said. “My head was spinning and my legs (gave way).”
The 32-year-old father of two is among millions of migrant laborers in Asia working on construction sites, shipyards, mines, factories, farms and plantations, who experts say are left vulnerable due to their prolonged outdoor exposure to high heat and humidity.
“The heat scares me,” said Raj, who is being identified by only his first name because he fears repercussions from his company as well as the Singapore authorities for speaking about his working conditions.
“I have no choice. I have to work to support my family.”
For years, scientists warned that the climate crisis would amplify extreme weather, making it deadlier and more frequent. Now, many parts of the world are experiencing dangerous levels of heat — with little relief in sight.
Countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, Portugal, France and China recently issued extreme heat alerts and scientists predict even higher temperatures to come.
“It’s been troubling to see events unfold the way science has predicted,” said Radhika Khosla, an associate professor at Oxford University’s Smith School of Enterprise and Environment. “We are seeing fewer trees and more built up concrete areas that result in higher rates of heat stress, especially in vulnerable communities.
“We’ve clearly not listened and adapted.”
Few places to escape the heat
During recent heat waves, governments and global bodies like the United Nations advised people to remain indoors and switch on air conditioning to prevent heat-related illnesses.
But that advice is all but impossible for migrant laborers and other workers who lack access to cooling technology.
“Migrant workers are too often excluded and forgotten from most global conversations about the climate crisis even though they are clearly one of the most vulnerable groups at risk,” said British researcher and migrant worker rights specialist Andy Hall.
Hall highlighted concerns shared by many migrant workers on construction sites in countries like Singapore and Malaysia, who said that they were still being made to work outdoors despite extreme heat.
They said they were not permitted to enter most air-conditioned public spaces like shopping malls and other buildings because of rules by landlords and tenants prohibiting their entry and to avoid complaints being made by members of the public, Hall said.
Instead, they escape the heat by resting in parks or under trees, bridges and highways, he added.
“They are unable to benefit from these (cool air solutions) due to systemic restrictions as well as discrimination. It’s disappointing,” Hall said. “Their welfare in the ongoing heat crisis needs to be a bigger topic of discussion.”
Prolonged heat exposure is also a problem in other Asian countries like India, which saw crop yields significantly reduced in May due to heat stress faced by farmers and workers, and Thailand — where activists say sugarcane cutters reported severe heat exhaustion in April from working long periods in the fields.
Ahnaf, a laborer from Bangladesh, said he endures grueling 12-hour work days on an oil palm plantation in southern Malaysia, followed by hot, sleepless nights in an overcrowded and poorly ventilated dormitory room he shares with seven other men.
Like Raj, he is using only one name because he fears potential repercussions from his employer and the Malaysian government for complaining about his working conditions. “Working all day is tiring but it’s also hard to sleep and rest at night when it is so crowded and hot,” he said.
Jason Lee Kai Wei from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS) said that the lack of access to convenient cooling systems like air conditioning was “a matter of life and death” for many migrant workers. “If their working and living conditions do not improve, they could end up paying a high price with their lives,” he said.
Lee, also director at the NUS Heat Resilience and Performance Centre, said there were “solutions at hand,” on the part of companies that employ migrant laborers, like enforcing proper breaks during the hottest time of the day to protect workers’ health and safety. “But at the end of the day, employers must be convinced that the health and productivity (of migrant workers) can be achieved in tandem — not one or the other,” he said.
“The problem is many of these work sites do not offer these solutions to workers.”
Leading Singaporean migrant worker rights activist Jolovan Wham said that the government had not imposed “stop work orders” for migrant workers during the recent hot spell. “So companies can still insist that their workers continue even when temperatures are higher than normal,” Wham said.
Heat has always been an issue for migrant laborers, as well as domestic workers, in the city-state, he added. “They will not speak up about the terrible living and working conditions due to the heat because they are afraid,” he said.
“They carry on because at the end of the day, their jobs are too important and they can’t afford to lose work.”
Li, the owner of a construction company in Singapore, told CNN that many of his migrant workers were “severely affected” by the heat. He said they were given appropriate rest breaks but were still bound by other official protocols such as wearing heavy safety gear like helmets and thick rubber boots that trap huge amounts of heat.
“It all adds up,” said Li, who didn’t want his full name published for fear of government repercussions. “The heat isn’t dying down or going away and that affects overall productivity — but we still have building projects to complete,” he said.
In an official report addressing work place heat stress, Singapore’s Manpower Ministry recommended measures including acclimatising workers to the local weather by adjusting workloads and monitoring workers for early signs of heat stress.
“Working in Singapore’s hot and humid weather puts workers at an increased risk of heat injuries,” the ministry said in the report. “Employers have a duty to take, so far as is reasonably practicable, necessary measures to ensure that the work environment is safe and without risk to their employees’ safety and health.”
A spokesperson for the ministry told CNN that companies employing migrant workers are required to make provisions during periods of excessive heat and would be “subjected to enforcement actions under the Workplace Safety and Health Act if they failed to comply.”
Cooling gap between rich and poor
As the climate crisis causes global temperatures to increase, the gap between rich and poorer nations is set to widen, according to a 2021 study by the Climate Impact Lab global research initiative.
“Richer populations can protect themselves from the impacts of warming but the global poor don’t have this luxury,” said Solomon Hsiang, a co-author of the paper. He added that access to air conditioning and electric fans would still remain “out of reach for more than half of the global population” in the coming decades.
In a strongly worded recent report that addressed extreme heat, Human Rights Watch (HRW) called on governments to act to protect vulnerable people from “current and foreseeable harms of extreme heat.”
“Extreme heat exposure is a serious health hazard (and) certain people are exposed to far more heat than others such as those often doing low-paying work outdoors or in hot kitchens and warehouses,” said HRW senior environment researcher Katharina Rall.
Scientists say increasing access to cooling technology for vulnerable people should be “immediate priorities” for governments around the world. “Air conditioned public spaces are go-to places during extreme heat,” said Winston Chow, an associate professor at the College of Integrative Studies at Singapore Management University.
“Restricting access to cool spaces for vulnerable people like the elderly, disabled and migrant workers who spend a disproportionate amount of time outdoors working, would be the worst thing to do when heat waves are happening.”
Oxford professor Khosla pointed to the tremendous amounts of energy consumed by standard air conditioners and said that cooling technology needs to shift towards long-term sustainability.
“Air conditioning is necessary given the rising levels of heat but it has to be much more energy efficient,” she said. She added that replacing air conditioning units with more eco-friendly models would be financially costly but consuming less electricity and reducing carbon footprints would go a long way in helping the environment.
“High energy efficiency models without damaging refrigerant gases that run on fossil fuel-free electricity sources are our best options,” she said.
After suffering signs of heat stress, Raj said he was taken to a hospital in Singapore near the construction site where he worked.
He waited for about an hour in an air-conditioned room before being examined by a doctor and given a clean bill of health. “It was very nice and cold and I felt better,” he said. “The last time I had air conditioning was when I was on the plane to Singapore.”
“I work outdoors every day and there is no air conditioning in the dormitory. We have ceiling fans but they are (adjusted) to low speed so my friends and I rotate our sleeping arrangements so we can sleep under the fans,” he said.
“It’s not much, but at least it’s something.”

"Private capital leaders firmly believe that growth is optimized and differentiated when team members are empowered by rewards commensurate with their contributions and future deferred compensation analytics are clear and accessible," said PFA Solutions Co-founder and Managing Partner, Richard Change. "Along with rewarding employees for their business contributions, we have seen a surge in private capital firms seeking out digital solutions to improve the administration of carried interest and compensation plans and the associated reporting to employees.

We are excited to continue to be a trusted partner working with our existing client base and the new clients implementing FirmView."
"Our talent is at the heart of our performance," said Andrew Hansen from 137 Ventures.

Leading private capital firms are improving their internal operations and are actively seeking opportunities to transition from error-prone spreadsheets to online solutions, such as FirmView to manage their employee incentive programs. Many private capital firms have various complexities related to their incentive plans and changes over time due to new employee awards, promotions, and forfeitures of carried interest awards.

"While many firms will face headwinds, we are seeing a continued investment in talent, technology, and operational improvement across the alternative investment industry. We are honored to have a hand in providing a solution that directly impacts our clients' most valuable asset—their people.

King County prosecutors charged a Kent woman on Monday with second-degree murder in the death of her 2-year-old son.
Sandy Fernandez, 19, is accused of assaulting her son, fracturing his skull and jaw and inflicting massive internal injuries that led to an infection, according to probable cause documents.
Fernandez denied any physical abuse during an initial interview with a detective, but later said she was “becoming frustrated” with her son, striking him in the abdomen and slamming him to the ground, according to court documents.
On May 23, 911 dispatch received a call from Fernandez, who reported that her son wasn’t breathing and was not responsive, according to probable cause documents.
Kent police and Puget Sound Regional Fire Authority responded to Hometown Suites on Pacific Highway South where Fernandez worked and stayed with her son and boyfriend, court documents say.
Arriving medics pronounced the boy dead and officers noticed bruising on the child, according to probable cause documents.
Fernandez and her boyfriend reported that he began vomiting the previous morning and woke up every couple of hours during the night but did not appear to be in distress, according to court documents.
She told officials she woke up to find her son facedown on the floor but thought he was sleeping, documents say. Her boyfriend found the boy cold and unresponsive and then Fernandez called 911.
On May 26, detectives interviewed Fernandez and her boyfriend. Fernandez initially denied seeing the bruises on her son and then said she had seen them a week before and denied any sort of physical discipline, according to probable cause documents
The King County Medical Examiner ruled the boy’s death a homicide on June 22. The medical examiner estimated infections develop after a minimum of 24 hours.
After police informed Fernandez of the results, she admitted to slamming her son on the floor the morning he was sick because she was stressed from being overworked and wanted him to go back to sleep, according to court documents.
She told detectives she didn’t mean to “slam” her son onto the floor and later admitted to hitting him in April and a week before his death because he did not want to go to sleep, court documents say.
Fernandez was taken into custody on July 28. She remains in custody on a $1 million bond.
Her arraignment is scheduled for Aug. 11. Fernandez had not been assigned a lawyer as of Monday evening. | https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/law-justice/kent-woman-charged-with-murder-in-death-of-2-year-old-son/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_seattle-news | 2022-08-02T06:09:15Z | https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/law-justice/kent-woman-charged-with-murder-in-death-of-2-year-old-son/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_seattle-news | false |

Watching for seals at Cupsogue Beach
Need some fun in the winter? Go to Cupsogue Beach in Westhampton and watch the harbor seals come to shore. A good time to go is at low tide so you can see the harbor seals come up on the sand and rocks to sun themselves. Be sure to follow the directions on the signs posted there for the seals' safety.
If the seals are staring at you, you know you are too close. Do not interfere with them in their natural habitat. Be sure to wear warm clothes and bring a camera and binoculars.
You can also see the harbor seals diving and swimming in the water. They are so cute and have big black eyes to help them see on top of the water and underneath too.
Did you know they have a layer of fat to keep them warm in the ice cold water? You can learn a lot about seals if you watch them.
So have fun this winter but be careful not to disturb the seals by communicating with them in any way. It is located on Dune Road -- don't miss this amazing sight. | https://www.newsday.com/lifestyle/family/watching-for-seals-at-cupsogue-beach-k46490 | 2022-08-02T06:21:11Z | https://www.newsday.com/lifestyle/family/watching-for-seals-at-cupsogue-beach-k46490 | false |

Dear Doctors: It seems like news about the gut microbiome keeps getting weirder. I just read about a doctor who said the new trend will be each of us storing our own poop for the future. What would be the advantage of doing that? And why is the gut microbiome in the news so often?
Dear Reader: We agree with you about the nonstop surprises regarding the role of the gut microbiome in our physical and mental health.
With such a cascade of new information, it seems like we’ve been talking about this topic forever. And in some ways, we have. The first known descriptions of the microorganisms in our gut date back to the 1670s. But it wasn’t until the modern era of genetic sequencing, with the Human Genome Project as its crown jewel, that scientists had the tools to uncover the gut microbiome’s secrets.
We are now in the process of learning how these trillions of bacteria, fungi and viruses affect virtually every aspect of our health and well-being. They are found throughout the body — even our belly buttons have their own microbiome. But the majority of microbes inhabit the large and small intestines, and they are proving to be an integral part of immune function. This has opened new avenues of research and led to the flood of new information.
People are also reading…
We now know that each person’s gut microbiome is unique. We’re also learning that modern life has an adverse effect on the makeup and diversity of those networks of microorganisms. And that brings us to the news story that caught you by surprise. It comes from scientists at Harvard Medical School, who recently published an opinion piece in a scientific journal called Trends in Molecular Medicine. They argue that, due to the changes that take place in our gut microbiomes as we age, we should begin banking stool samples when we’re young adults and still in good health. These would be for possible future use in a stool transplant. That’s the process of infusing healthy fecal bacteria into the large intestine of someone who is ill. At this time, it is often successfully used to treat a life-threatening infection known as Clostridium difficile, or C. diff.
Stool banking may sound odd, but it’s akin to the practice of cord blood banking. That’s when parents preserve blood from the umbilical cord and placenta, which contains a certain type of stem cell. It can be used to help treat a child’s possible future medical needs, such as metabolic diseases, blood disorders, immune deficiencies and some cancers.
In their opinion piece, the Harvard scientists cite the connection between changes to the gut microbiome and a corresponding increase in certain health problems. These include allergies, digestive disorders, Type 2 diabetes and obesity. They proposed that stool samples preserved when someone is young and healthy may be used to combat those health problems. At this time, it’s not clear how, or even if, stool banking would work. But with this bold idea now in the mainstream, it’s likely to lead to more research — and even more news.

Details
AudioCodes (NASDAQ: AUDC), a leading vendor of advanced communications software, products and productivity solutions for the digital workplace, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.
Revenues for the second quarter of 2022 were $68.4 million compared to $60.6 million for the second quarter of 2021.
Net income was $6.9 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2022 compared to $8.2 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2021.
On a Non-GAAP basis, net income was $11.3 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2022 compared to $12.7 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2021.
Non-GAAP net income excludes: (i) share-based compensation expenses; (ii) amortization expenses related to intangible assets; (iii) expenses related to deferred payments in connection with the acquisition of Callverso Ltd; (iv) other income related to a payment made by the landlord to AudioCodes Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, in connection with the termination of a lease agreement for its offices in New Jersey; (v) financial income related to exchange rate differences in connection with revaluation of assets and liabilities in non-dollar denominated currencies; and (vi) non-cash deferred tax expenses (income).

The decrease in cash and cash equivalents, long and short-term bank deposits, long and short-term marketable securities and long and short-term financial investments was the result of the use of cash for the continued repurchasing of the Company's ordinary shares pursuant to its share repurchase program and the payment of a cash dividend during the first quarter of 2022.

Microsoft business as a whole grew above 20% year over year and Zoom phone business grew more than 50%. AudioCodes Live for Microsoft Teams managed services continued to grow and reached a level of $24 million ARR, a 100% growth over the year ago quarter. We on-boarded a number of seven-figure Live projects in the second quarter, with the Total Contract Value (TCV) for our Live projects exceeding $60 million in total.
In CX, we saw a nice rebound this quarter with the business up more than 20%, propelled by the ongoing contact center digital transformation to the cloud and healthy spending environment. Services business continued to grow at a nice pace, up over 20% year-over-year, driven primarily by professional services and AudioCodes Live managed services, reaching a level of above 40% of total company revenue.
Despite an uncertain macro environment, we are executing according to plan and controlling our cost structure. As we see new growth opportunities emerging in our core markets and capitalize on our strong portfolio of technologies and solutions and our growing F500 enterprise customer base, we are determined to increase our investments in both R&D and our customer-facing talent. While we continue to be impacted by supply chain disruptions, we believe this is a short-term phenomenon that should alleviate in coming quarters. Lastly, upsell of new voice.ai-related applications continues to take shape, with attach rates improving, and we have a number of exciting products and partnerships launching in the second half of the year," concluded Mr. Adlersberg.

Dentist found guilty in wife’s death on African safari
DENVER (AP) - A wealthy dentist accused of fatally shooting his wife in the heart with a shotgun at the end of an African safari was found guilty of murder and mail fraud on Monday.
A jury of six men and six women reached the verdict for Lawrence “Larry” Rudolph following a three week trial and a day and a half of deliberations.
Rudolph, 67, was charged with foreign murder in the 2016 death of Bianca Rudolph in Zambia as well as mail fraud for cashing in $4.8 million in life insurance claims in what prosecutors describe as a premeditated crime. Some of the money was paid out of Colorado so he was tried in Denver federal court.
He faces a maximum term of life in prison or the death penalty when he is sentenced in February.
Rudolph maintained his innocence and the two adult children he had with his wife sat in court to support him during the trial. One of Rudolph’s defense attorneys, David Markus, said they would appeal his conviction.
“We believe in Larry. We believe in his family,” he said outside court.
The defense suggested Rudolph’s wife of 34 years, a nervous traveler, shot herself while trying to pack a shotgun in a hurry as they prepared to return from Zambia to the United States in 2016.
But prosecutors countered that evidence showed that was impossible because the wound to her heart came from a shot fired from 2 to 3.5 feet (60 centimeters to 1 meter) away.
The couple’s longtime hunting guide, Mark Swanepoel, told investigators that Rudolph had unloaded the shotgun the day before the fatal shooting, but Rudolph testified that he could not remember if he had or not.
When he returned home to Phoenix days later, Rudolph said he put the shotgun in his garage not wanting to look at it. Then sometime in 2018, as he was preparing to sell his house and before he found out the FBI was investigating his wife’s death, he said he took the gun apart, put it into two cardboard boxes and paid a man cash to haul it away with along with other trash.
Prosecutors also accused Rudolph’s girlfriend and the manager of his Pittsburgh-area dental franchise, Lori Milliron, of lying to a federal grand jury and being an accessory.
She was found guilty by the same jury Monday of being an accessory after the fact to murder, obstruction of a grand jury and two counts of perjury before a grand jury. She was found not guilty on three other counts of perjury.
Rudolph waved to Milliron as he was led out of court and back to jail after not having any interaction with her in the courtroom in previous days. Milliron will remain free with an ankle monitor until she is sentenced.
Prosecutors alleged that Rudolph decided to kill his wife to regain control over his life after Bianca Rudolph asked for more say in the couple’s finances and demanded that Milliron be fired. Rudolph said his wife agreed to have an open marriage and the defense argued there was no financial incentive for Rudolph, who was worth about $15 million at the time, to kill his wife.
Investigators in Zambia and for the insurers concluded her death was an accident. Prosecutors noted that Rudolph hung up on an insurance investigator who tried to speak with him and declined to participate in a voluntary interview with an FBI agent.
Colorado’s U.S. Attorney Cole Finegan thanked the FBI for traveling around the world to collect evidence and interview witnesses in the case and said he hoped the verdict brings some peace to Bianca Rudolph’s family.
“Bianca Rudolph deserved justice,” he said.

ARI SHAPIRO, HOST:
The fate of a nuclear armed world was the subject at the United Nations today. North Korea is poised for another nuclear test. Iran has not agreed to rejoin the deal that curbed its nuclear program. And Russia's invasion of Ukraine has raised that risk of nuclear confrontation. It's against this backdrop that the U.N. opened a month-long meeting about the status of the 50-year-old Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. NPR's Michele Kelemen reports.
MICHELE KELEMEN, BYLINE: U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres opened the conference with a dire warning
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
ANTONIO GUTERRES: Today, humanity's just one misunderstanding, one miscalculation away from nuclear annihilation.
KELEMEN: He pointed to crises that are, as he put it, festering in the Middle East and the Korean Peninsula, as well as Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
GUTERRES: The clouds that parted following the end of the Cold War are gathering once more. We have been extraordinarily lucky so far. But luck is not a strategy, nor is it the shield from geopolitical tensions boiling over into nuclear conflicts.
KELEMEN: Secretary of State Antony Blinken traveled to New York to show that the U.S. is ready to work with countries to strengthen the NPT, a treaty meant to promote disarmament and nuclear non-proliferation.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
ANTONY BLINKEN: There is no question that the NPT has made the world safer. But there's also no doubt that it's under increasing strain. And so we come together at a critical moment.
KELEMEN: Russian President Vladimir Putin, in a written message to the conference, said there would be no winners in a nuclear war, and he said no such war should be started. Secretary Blinken says Russia is setting a bad example. When the Soviet Union fell apart, Russia gave Ukraine security assurances to encourage it to give up the Soviet nuclear weapons that were based in Ukraine. Blinken says Russia broke that deal by invading Ukraine.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
BLINKEN: What message does this send to any country around the world that may think that it needs to have nuclear weapons to protect, to defend, to deter aggression against its sovereignty and independence? The worst possible message.
KELEMEN: Another major topic is Iran's nuclear program. Germany's foreign minister, Annalena Baerbock, is urging Iran to get back into a 2015 agreement that capped Iran's nuclear program in exchange for financial relief.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
ANNALENA BAERBOCK: A fair deal is on the table. We should seize this opportunity as long as this still is possible.
KELEMEN: But Iran needs to cooperate with inspectors, says Rafael Mariano Grossi, the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
RAFAEL MARIANO GROSSI: We need to have the access that is commensurate with the breadth and depth of that nuclear program. It can be done. Let's do it.
KELEMEN: Iran is a member of the treaty. Other suspected or known nuclear powers are not, including Israel, India, and Pakistan. North Korea pulled out, and Grossi says he wants inspectors to get back there soon. Experts will spend August in New York looking at ways to revitalize the treaty. Blinken says the U.S. has a 60-person team dedicated to that. Michele Kelemen, NPR News, the State Department.

AILSA CHANG, HOST:
The U.S. says it has killed the leader of al-Qaida. Ayman al-Zawahiri was considered a planner of 9/11 and numerous other attacks. He was once a deputy of Osama bin Laden, whom the U.S. killed in 2011. President Biden told the nation this evening that the U.S. operation unfolded over some months.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: Our intelligence community located Zawahiri earlier this year. He had moved to downtown Kabul to reunite with members of his immediate family. After carefully considering the clear and convincing evidence of his location, I authorized a precision strike that would remove him from the battlefield once and for all.
CHANG: Our colleague Steve Inskeep is in downtown Kabul at the moment with NPR colleagues, and he joins us now. Hi, Steve.
STEVE INSKEEP, BYLINE: Hi there, Ailsa.
CHANG: All right. So I'm so curious, what did you hear personally as this attack developed over the weekend?
INSKEEP: Well, one thing we heard was explosions over the weekend, Ailsa, which woke a lot of people here, including where we are. President Biden described an attack on Saturday. I should tell you, it's not clear if he meant U.S. time or Kabul time. The explosions here came Sunday morning to us. People then began sharing images of a multi-story house with windows blown out, and it's a house in the Sherpur neighborhood. And you can walk there from the many, many government offices in this capital city. This is not...
CHANG: Wow.
INSKEEP: ...Remote at all. Rumors did quickly spread that it was a drone attack, which Biden has now confirmed. And it took a while for people to get an idea of what had happened. The early reports here suggested it might have been an ISIS target, for example, or maybe nothing. And the idea that it was al-Qaida's leader is only emerged in the last few hours.
CHANG: OK. Well, the reason that you and your team are in Afghanistan in the first place is because one year ago this month, the Taliban seized control there. The U.S. attacked Afghanistan in 2001 because the Taliban sheltered Osama bin Laden, and now the Taliban is in charge again. Let me ask you, what are people saying about al-Zawahiri living there or, like, just amongst them, as you say, just a walk away from so many government offices?
INSKEEP: Well, the Taliban put out a statement overnight and said their investigation confirmed that American drones - plural, drones - conducted this attack. They didn't say a word about casualties, and they complained about the attack and said it was a violation of international agreements. But this is an extraordinary development, Ailsa. The Taliban have been accused of sheltering extremists for years. They've denied it again and again. But this was in a very heavily secured area of the city with checkpoints all over and very near the government ministries.
CHANG: And what are people telling you? I mean, as you've been reporting in the country about what's transpired under the last year, under Taliban rule, what are you hearing?
INSKEEP: This is an amazing time to be here. It was one year ago this August that the Taliban took charge in Kabul. Now, on the very day of this U.S. drone attack the other day, we met the Taliban defense minister - the interim defense minister, Mohammed Yaqoob, who is the son of Mullah Omar, the one-time leader of the Taliban who sheltered Osama bin Laden once upon a time, which is what led to the U.S. attack on Afghanistan. Mohammad Yaqoob, the son, says he wants good relations with the United States. And in fact, when I asked him about that, he laughed because it was so obvious to him that they would want good relations with the United States. This is going to complicate that. At that point, we'd heard of some kind of attack in Kabul. We asked him about it. He acknowledged the incident but didn't say it was serious.
But the most revealing thing maybe was how we met this defense minister, Ailsa, on the day of this attack. We were not told the location of the meeting. A car came and guided us there so we would not know it until we arrived, which seems like the sort of thing you would do to avoid any possibility of someone finding your location and launching a drone attack.
CHANG: That is NPR's Steve Inskeep in Kabul. Thank you so much, Steve.
INSKEEP: Glad to help.

‘Israeli’ Occupation Forces Kidnap Over 40 Palestinians In Al-Khalil
By Staff, Agencies
‘Israeli’ occupation forces kidnapped more than 40 Palestinians during large-scale overnight raids across the occupied West Bank.
Palestinian official Wafa news agency quoted sources as saying that the raids took place on Sunday night and continued in the early hours of Monday.
The Palestinian Prisoner Society [PPS] said that over two dozen people were abducted by heavily-armed ‘Israeli’ soldiers from the occupied southern West Bank city of al-Khalil and taken away to undisclosed locations.
Similar raids were also reported in Nablus and the nearby town of Beit Furik, which saw two people arrested. At least one person sustained injuries and was rushed to a nearby hospital after ‘Israeli’ occupation forces opened fire on local residents who resisted the raid.
In Jenin, ‘Israeli’ occupation troops stormed the towns of Jayyous and Sanour and forcibly took away at least four people.
In Ramallah, the Zionist regime forces kidnapped a 17-year-old boy after storming his home in Jalazon refugee camp.
The report also said ‘Israeli’ occupation forces detained a youth after forcing their way into Shufat refugee camp in occupied East al-Quds.
The Zionist military frequently carries out wide-scale kidnappings across the occupied West Bank under the pretext of searching for ‘wanted’ Palestinians.
Thousands of Palestinians are held in ‘Israeli’ occupation detention centers. Hundreds have been incarcerated under the practice of so-called administrative detention, which allows holding Palestinian inmates in ‘Israeli’ prisons without trial or charge.
Some Palestinian prisoners have even been held in administrative detention for up to eleven years.

Religion of Monday, 1 August 2022
Source: mynewsgh.com
Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has urged various religious groups not to see their faith as a force for division but rather as unity for a common purpose.
He observed that, whether Christian or Muslim, they all come from the same descendants, emphasising the need for all faithful to use religion in fostering the required development.
Speaking at the launch of the 175th-anniversary celebrations of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church Ghana, the Vice President described the Church as a formidable force for development.
“The church has been a reliable, trusted, and formidable agent of the transformation, civilisation, and progress of society. The gains we have made as a nation pre and post-independence in moral, spiritual, and socio-economic development could not have been entirely possible without the keen involvement of the church.
"As children of the only and one true God, whether Christian or Muslim, we all believe in the God of Isaac, Jacob, and Abraham. We must see religion as a force for unity and not a force for division. This is a charge we must keep as children of God.
"May the 175th-anniversary celebrations strengthen your faith in the Lord and reposition you as a great contributor to the moral, spiritual and socio-economic wellbeing of Ghanaians and humanity in general,” he urged. | https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/Religion-shouldn-t-be-a-force-for-division-Dr-Bawumia-urges-1594010 | 2022-08-02T06:51:34Z | https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/Religion-shouldn-t-be-a-force-for-division-Dr-Bawumia-urges-1594010 | false |
- Gold price is oscillating in a wide range of $1,764.26-1,775.38 as the focus shifts to US NFP.
- Lower consensus for US NFP dragged the DXY to a fresh three-week low around 105.28.
- Fed’s rate hikes have trimmed employment generation in the US labor market.
Gold price (XAU/USD) has advanced towards $1,772.00 after a minor corrective move to near $1,766.67 in the late New York session. Broadly, the asset has turned sideways and is auctioning in a range of $1,764.26-1,775.38. Considering the ongoing upside momentum in the gold price and weakness in the US dollar index (DXY), bulls are expected to establish assets above $1,770.00 first. However, the odds of a decent correction are healthy.
The US dollar index (DXY) is facing the heat of lower consensus for the US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP), which is due on Friday. The DXY has printed a fresh three-week low at 105.28 as the labor market is likely to display addition of 250k jobs in July, lower than the prior release of 372k.
A meaningful drop in the labor market is highly expected as higher interest rates by the Federal Reserve (Fed) have forced the corporate to levy more filters on investment avenues. Lower investment opportunities tend to keep employment generation in check.
Also, the commentary from big tech firms and automobile companies in their second-quarter earnings announcement indicated that the recruitment process will remain sluggish for the rest of 2022. Therefore, plenty of evidence is warranting lower job additions in July and more sluggishness ahead. This will keep the gold bulls underpinned against the greenback.
Gold technical analysis
On an hourly scale, the gold price is displaying signs of exhaustion after a juggernaut rally. The precious metal has displayed a back-to-back balanced profile around the critical hurdle of $1,770.00. A consecutive balanced profile formation indicates exhaustion of bullish momentum and bolsters the odds of a correction ahead.
The 50-and 200-period Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) at $1,762.30 and $1,741.00 respectively are still advancing, which favors an upside ahead.
Also, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) (14) has slipped to a 40.00-60.00 range, which indicates that the bulls are not strengthened anymore.

In August 2017, the lights went dark on DBGB Kitchen & Bar on 299 Bowery, between First and East Houston streets. After five years of collecting dust, and a brief interest from the folks behind The Ainsworth, the space is finally getting a new tenant: Ixta, a “trendy, upscale,” late-night Mexican restaurant and bar, reports What Now New York.
"We had an eye on this location for a very long time," Ixta's owner, Mike Himani tells Eater via email. For the restaurant industry veteran — he currently operates Nanking, Indo Chinese, Nisi and Chickpea — this Bowery spot is his second iteration of Ixta, originally located at 48 East 29th Street in Nomad from 2005 to 2007. He explains that he lost the location due to the terms of the sub-lease, but he "knew we always wanted to open Ixta again."
For Ixta's reprisal, Himani is bringing on executive chef Francisco Blanco from Mexico City. Blanco, who cooked at Le Cirque and Eataly’s Manzo, will fine-tune a menu of southern Mexican and Oaxacan dishes at Ixta while mixologist Jenny Castillo will be creating tequila- and mezcal-based cocktails.
The spacious commercial unit inside the Avalon Bowery complex will be outfitted with 165 seats with another 10 stools along a 22-foot rectangular bar, and two televisions, according to public documents from Manhattan's Community Board 3, where Himani also requested approval to bring in 3-4 piece mariachi bands on special occasions.
Inside, the "decor will be lush with murals, handmade art, a mix of natural and organic materials with Aztec touches," says Himani. According to a photo posted by EV Grieve in July, the style is in line with the exterior signage. A tropical wallpaper depicts two gigantic red and green monstera leaves and what appears to be the striped back of a tiger across the entirety of the floor-to-ceiling glass windows. Gone are the French letters spelling out DBGB’s offering of sausages, soufflés, and charcuterie across the windows.
“The neighborhood is changing,” Daniel Boulud said of his decision to close DBGB, while others criticized him for having a hand in the gentrification. The Washington D.C. outpost of DBGB remains standing.
Public documents show that Ixta is scheduled to operate from 11 a.m. to 12 a.m. Monday through Wednesday, 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. on Thursday and Friday, 11:30 a.m. to 2 a.m. on Saturday, and 11:30 a.m. to 12 a.m. Sunday. | https://ny.eater.com/2022/8/1/23287500/daniel-boulud-dbgb-mexican-ixta-downtown-manhattan | 2022-08-02T06:57:59Z | https://ny.eater.com/2022/8/1/23287500/daniel-boulud-dbgb-mexican-ixta-downtown-manhattan | true |

Exclusive: Amalgamations Group to venture into EV powertrain parts with new partners
The USD 2 billion Tea to Tractor producing Group may make a couple of new business moves in a bid to grow sustainably in the disruptive era, much of which is due to the electrification megatrend. New product lines will mark the Group’s foray into EV components supplies.
As the electrification megatrend gradually grows across segments, many automotive industry players are devising strategies to tap the opportunities, mainly for sustainable growth. The Chennai-headquartered Amalgamations Group is among these players. It is learnt that the USD 2 billion Group will be adding key electric vehicle (EV) powertrain components to its portfolio.
“With the changes that are taking place, not only are we fairly significantly present in the IC engines and so on, but also the kind of approaches and efforts that we need to make towards the electric vehicle component many of the companies have taken that initiative and hopefully something would definitely be happening in the near future,” A Krishnamoorthy, Chairman, Amalgamations Group told ETAuto in a rare and exclusive interview.
“Though we are significantly present in the IC engines, with the changes that are taking place in the industry and the new initiatives by many companies, we are thinking of the kind of approaches and efforts that we need to make towards electric vehicle components. Hopefully something will definitely be happening in the near future,” A Krishnamoorthy, Chairman, Amalgamations Group, told ETAuto in a rare and exclusive interview.
IP Rings, an Amalgamations Group company, is already supplying gears and other mechanical components for EV application. Battery pack, motor and controllers are among the components that the Group is looking at manufacturing through one or more of its companies.
These would be key additions to Amalgamations’ USD 250 million components business division which has many companies. The supplier had recently showcased a 6kW electric powertrain for two and three-wheelers, and agricultural equipment applications.
The new forays are likely to happen with new partners, through technology transfer agreements or joint ventures. Some of the Group companies may also look to expand their businesses as part of the “logical expansion” that almost all companies strive for in the new age.
“And that’s what is happening with the different companies in the Group. We have a few companies that are not only in engineering but also in non-engineering like plantations. For them also the scene is changing and I think we have to necessarily respond to all of those changes. Hopefully we will continue to be as successful as we have been so far,” the octogenarian industry veteran said after inaugurating the first plant of a joint venture between the Group Company India Pistons, and the Florida-based Shaw Development.
The JV plant in Hosur, Tamil Nadu, also marks Shaw Development’s first plant outside the US. Leveraging India’s frugal engineering and manufacturing base, the American partner plans to source significantly from here. The initial installed annual manufacturing capacity of 240,000 units of a DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) system is planned to be ramped up to a million units within a couple of years.
Last year IP Rings signed a JV with the UK-based Eminox for the design and development of cost efficient exhaust after-treatment systems. These systems are required to meet the BSVI Stage 2, and Indian TREM V off-highway emission regulations.
Along with the planned new moves in the EV component space, it won’t be surprising if the Amalgamations Group also enters the electric farm equipment space even as a manufacturer. Its flagship TAFE is among the leading tractor OEMs in India.
“This is something that I'm not in a position to say immediately, but I think it would be right to say that every aspect of assuring the future not only for the product, but also for the benefit of the customers is certainly there and TAFE is no exception,” Krishnamoorthy said.
In the components business sector, Amalgamations will look at plugging in to the growth prospects of EV parts and systems in India. According to a CRISIL Research Study, EV components could have a 9-11% share in the domestic component industry's turnover by FY27, from only a percent currently. Last financial year, the EV component business is estimated to have clocked a turnover of INR 4,300 crore, and that figure is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 76% to touch INR 72,500 crore in the next 5 years.
The company will stop producing Jazz after October 2022 while the crossover WR-V will not be produced beyond March 2023. The carmaker will also stop the production and sale of the 4th Generation Honda City by December 2022 in the country. However, the 5th generation of the sedan will continue to be available in the market, a source in the know of things told ETAuto.

Assam CM Himanta slams Jharkhand MLA’s ‘fake’ FIR
Information and Public Relations Minister Pijush Hazarika said Himanta Biswa Sarma took Kumar Jaimangal to the residence of Coal Minister Prahlad Joshi for a trade union-related matter
GUWAHATI:
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Tuesday slammed Jharkhand Congress MLA Kumar Jaimangal for filing a “fake” first information report (FIR) embroiling him in a bid to topple the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha-Congress government in the eastern Indian State.
“Fake FIR in Jharkhand. The so-called FIR looks like Congress asking Ottavio Quattrocchi to file a case against Bofors,” the Chief Minister said in a tweet tagging a Twitter post by Assam’s Information and Public Relations Minister Pijush Hazarika.
“Sharing some facts about the baseless allegations by Jharkhand @INCIndia MLA @KumarJaimangal,” Mr Hazarika said in the first of three tweets, claiming Mr. Jaimangal made a fake allegation that the three Jharkhand Congress MLAs “arrested” in West Bengal with a huge amount of cash had lured him to meet the Chief Minister of Assam.
Five days before filing the “fabricated FIR”, Mr. Sarma took Mr. Jaimangal to the residence of Coal Minister Prahlad Joshi in Delhi at 9 a.m. on July 26 “in order to help him in his trade union-related matter”, Mr. Hazarika said.
He claimed Mr. Jaimangal has been regularly meeting Mr. Sarma. “He (the Jharkhand MLA) should face the law for making a fraudulent allegation against the Chief Minister of Assam and against those tribal (Congress) MLAs,” he said.
Based on a complaint filed by Mr. Jaimagal, the Jharkhand police had registered an FIR against fellow Congress MLAs Irfan Ansari, Rajesh Kachchap and Naman Bixal Kongari. Mr. Jaimangal claimed that the three MLAs had called him to Kolkata to meet Mr. Sarma, who was allegedly planning to top the JMM-Congress government in Jharkhand headed by Hemant Soren.
Mr. Jaimangal also claimed the three MLAs told him that Mr. Sarma would give him a ministerial berth in the new government besides ₹10-crore if he helped overthrow the JMM-Congress government.

Domino's Pizza Group PLC reported on Tuesday a fall in pretax profit for the half year driven by the time lag in passing higher costs to its franchisees, and announced a share buyback program.
The pizza chain--the holder of the master franchise agreement to own, operate and franchise Domino's stores in the U.K., Ireland, Switzerland, Sweden and Iceland--posted a pretax profit for the 26 weeks ended June 27 of 54.8 million pounds ($67.1 million) compared with GBP62.3 million for the same period a year earlier.
Revenue slightly rose to GBP278.3 million from GBP277.8 million, while sales in a like-for-like basis fell 6.4% due to the value-added tax rate change.
"As is standard practice, we pass through food cost inflation to our franchisees on a lagged basis. We began passing on these increases during the first half of the year, but will not see the full impact until the second half," it said.
The company added that it will start a share buyback program of up to GBP20 million until Dec. 31.
The board has raised the interim dividend to 3.2 pence a share, up from 3.0 pence declared the same period last year.

U.S. SEC charges 11 individuals in $300 million crypto pyramid scheme
WASHINGTON August 02, 2022 12:52 ISTForsage’s website allowed millions of retail investors to enter into transactions via smart contracts
The Securities and Exchange Commission said on Monday it charged 11 people for their roles in creating and promoting a fraudulent cryptocurrency pyramid and Ponzi scheme that raised over $300 million from retail investors worldwide, including in the United States.
(Sign up to our Technology newsletter, Today’s Cache, for insights on emerging themes at the intersection of technology, business and policy. Click here to subscribe for free.)
Those charged included the four founders of the scheme named Forsage. They were last known to be living in Russia, the Republic of Georgia, and Indonesia, the SEC said in a statement.
The charged individuals could not immediately be reached for comment.
According to the SEC’s complaint, the scheme’s website was launched in January 2020 and allowed millions of retail investors to enter into transactions via smart contracts. It allegedly operated as a pyramid scheme for more than two years, in which investors earned profits by recruiting others into the scheme, the SEC said.
Forsage also allegedly used assets from new investors to pay earlier investors in a typical Ponzi structure, the SEC complaint added.
“Forsage is a fraudulent pyramid scheme launched on a massive scale and aggressively marketed to investors,” said Carolyn Welshhans, acting chief of the SEC’s Crypto Assets and Cyber unit. “Fraudsters cannot circumvent the federal securities laws by focusing their schemes on smart contracts and blockchains.”
Without admitting or denying the allegations, two of the defendants agreed to settle the charges and one of them agreed to pay penalties, the SEC said. | https://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/technology/us-sec-charges-11-individuals-in-300-million-crypto-pyramid-scheme/article65715017.ece/amp/ | 2022-08-02T07:46:52Z | https://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/technology/us-sec-charges-11-individuals-in-300-million-crypto-pyramid-scheme/article65715017.ece/amp/ | false |

`Surprising momentum´ in housing market as prices increase by 11% annually
The housing market retained a surprising degree of momentum in July, despite the mounting pressures on household budgets, according to an index.
Annual UK house price growth accelerated slightly in July to 11.0%, from 10.7% in June, according to Nationwide Building Society, which added that it expects the market to slow in the months ahead.
Prices were up by 0.1% month on month, marking the 12th monthly increase on this measure in a row.
The average house price in July was £271,209.
Robert Gardner, Nationwide’s chief economist, said: “The housing market has retained a surprising degree of momentum given the mounting pressures on household budgets from high inflation, which has already driven consumer confidence to all-time lows.
“While there are tentative signs of a slowdown in activity, with a dip in the number of mortgage approvals for house purchases in June, this has yet to feed through to price growth.
The housing market retained a surprising degree of momentum in July, despite the mounting pressures on household budgets, according to Nationwide Building Society (Gareth Fuller/PA)
“Demand continues to be supported by strong labour market conditions, where the unemployment rate remains near 50-year lows and with the number of job vacancies close to record highs.
“At the same time, the limited stock of homes on the market has helped keep upward pressure on house prices.
“We continue to expect the market to slow as pressure on household budgets intensifies in the coming quarters, with inflation set to reach double digits towards the end of the year.
“Moreover, the Bank of England is widely expected to raise interest rates further, which will also exert a cooling impact on the market if this feeds through to mortgage rates.”
Mr Gardner said transactions among home-movers with a mortgage have slowed more than other sectors.
This probably reflects the recent stamp duty holiday, which ended last year, encouraging home-movers to bring forward purchases at that time, he said.
He continued: “First-time buyer mortgage completions have remained resilient, and are now (around) 5% above pre-pandemic levels, despite growing affordability pressures.
“Indeed, house price growth has continued to outpace earnings by a wide margin, increasing the deposit hurdle, and, together with higher interest rates, has pushed up mortgage repayments relative to incomes.
“The number of cash transactions has remained elevated, though its share of activity has remained broadly stable at (around) 35%.
“This is partly a reflection of an ageing population (where more people own their homes outright).
“However, properties purchased for investment, such as a holiday home or buy-to-let, is also an important element of the cash market.
“Buy-to-let purchases involving a mortgage also remain higher than pre-pandemic levels.
“Sentiment is likely buoyed by the fact that rental demand remains strong, with upward pressure on rents, which may be encouraging landlords to enter the market, particularly if they view property as a hedge against inflation.”
Alice Haine, personal finance analyst at Bestinvest, said that, with a further Bank of England base rate hike expected later this week, “this should have a dampening effect on the market”.
She continued: “Add in the barrage of challenges to come – from the surge in energy prices in October, when the energy watchdog increases the cap on bills, to runaway inflation continuing to outstrip wage growth – and the pressure on household finances will only intensify, potentially placing even more pressure on the property sector.”
Tom Bill, head of UK residential research at Knight Frank, said: “For those wondering how house prices can continue to grow as the cost-of-living squeeze intensifies, the answer is that they are happening for the same reason – a supply chain disruption.”
Nathan Emerson, chief executive of Propertymark, which represents estate and letting agents, said: “The market has been relentless for the past two years. Our member agents are telling us that they are now beginning to see the signs of a return to a normal seasonal trend when the market slows down in the summer months.
“But year-on-year price growth is still high and, despite the rising cost-of-living, all indications are for that to continue for some time yet, while it remains cheap to borrow money and with the number of buyers still outnumbering properties available.”
Gabriella Dickens, senior UK economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, suggested the ongoing surge in mortgage rates will cause buyer demand to cool further.
She said: “The rate for a two-year 75% LTV (loan-to-value) fixed-rate mortgage already has increased to 2.88% in June from 1.57% in December – the fastest six-monthly increase since at least 1995 – and looks set to rise to around 3.1% by the end of the year, if the MPC (Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee) delivers the rate hikes that markets currently expect.” | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-11072043/Surprising-momentum-housing-market-prices-increase-11-annually.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-08-02T08:06:17Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-11072043/Surprising-momentum-housing-market-prices-increase-11-annually.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true |
