Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Because individuals with a history of depression who are receiving opioids are at higher risk for adverse events, the authors examined whether antidepressant treatment reduces risk for overdose and self-harm among individuals with a history of depression who receive opioids. METHODS: Commercial insurance claims of individuals with a history of depression receiving opioids from 2007 to 2017 were used to quantify the association between antidepressant fills and adverse events among individuals after initiation of opioid treatment; the authors accounted for selection into treatment and used discrete-time, proportional hazards survival models. RESULTS: Among 283,374 adults with a history of depression treatment, 8,203 experienced 47,486 adverse events from 2007 to 2017 in the 12 months after initiation of opioid treatment. Approximately half (N=144,052, 50.8%) filled an antidepressant prescription at least once in the 12 months after the opioid episode began. Individuals receiving antidepressants for at least 6 weeks had a reduced risk for any adverse event (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]=0.79, 95% confidence interval [CI]=0.65-0.97) as well as a reduced risk for opioid overdoses (AOR=0.78, 95% CI=0.64-0.96), overdoses from nonopioid controlled substances (AOR=0.76, 95% CI=0.62-0.94), overdoses from other substances (AOR=0.79, 95% CI=0.65-0.97), and other self-harm events (AOR=0.82, 95% CI=0.67-1.00). CONCLUSIONS: Individuals with a history of depression who received opioid analgesics had a significantly lower risk for overdose and self-harm after they had been taking antidepressants for at least 6 weeks. Universal screening for mood disorders among individuals receiving opioids, and promptly providing evidence-based depression treatment when appropriate, may reduce adverse events.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION: An estimated 100,306 people died from an overdose from May 2020 to April 2021. Emergency Medical Services (EMS) are often the first responder to opioid overdose, and EMS encounter records can provide granular epidemiologic data on opioid overdose. This study describes the demographic, temporal, and geographic epidemiology of suspected opioid overdose in Baltimore City using data from Baltimore City Fire Department EMS encounters with the administration of the opioid antagonist naloxone. METHOD: The present analyses used patient encounter data from 2012 to 2017 from the Baltimore City Fire Department, the city's primary provider of EMS services. The analytic sample included patient encounters within the city that involved naloxone administration to patients 15 years of age or older (n = 20,592). Negative binomial regression was used to calculate the incidence rates based on demographic characteristics, year, and census tract. Choropleth maps were used to show the geographic distribution of overdose incidence across census tracts in 2013, 2015, and 2017. RESULTS: From 2012 to 2017, the annual number of EMS encounters with naloxone administrations approximately doubled every 2 years, and the temporal pattern of naloxone administration was similar to the pattern of fatal opioid-related overdoses. For most census tracts, incidence rates significantly increased over time. Population-based incidence of naloxone administration varied significantly by socio-demographic characteristics. Males, non-whites, and those 25-69 years of age had the highest incidence rates. CONCLUSION: The incidence of naloxone administration increased dramatically over the study period. Despite significant cross-sectional variation in incidence across demographically and geographically defined groups, there were significant proportional increases in incidence rates, consistent with fatal overdose rates over the period. This study demonstrated the value of EMS data for understanding the local epidemiology of opioid-related overdose. Key MessagesPatterns of EMS encounters with naloxone administration appear to be an excellent proxy for patterns of opioid-related overdoses based on the consistency of fatal overdose rates over time.EMS plays a central role in preventing fatal opioid-related overdoses through the administration of naloxone, provision of other emergency services, and transportation to medical facilities.EMS encounters with naloxone administration could also be used to evaluate the impact of overdose prevention interventions and public health services.

Abstract
Aims and objective This study describes postmortem and histopathological findings to understand the internal progression of methanol poisoning. The study also aims to examine clinical, biochemical, and histological changes seen with methanol poisoning. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study describes the methanol poisoning tragedy that occurred in February 2019 in the Haridwar district of Uttarakhand. Ninety-one patients were admitted to the hospital, four were brought dead, four died within a few hours of admission (designated as early deaths), and four died between 10 and 45 days of hospitalization (designated as late deaths). A medicolegal autopsy was performed on all 12 deaths. Gross external and internal findings were noted, and routine viscera and blood were preserved and sent to Uttarakhand's Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) to estimate methyl alcohol. A section of the optic nerve was taken from the optic chiasma for histopathological examination. Data were collected retrospectively from records. All data were tabulated and analyzed using Microsoft Excel version 2019. The study was approved by the Institutional Ethics Committee of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Rishikesh (249201), Uttarakhand, India. RESULTS Methanol poisoning is a health-associated disaster in many regions of India. Autopsy, including histopathological examination, could elicit the adverse effects of methanol on different organs. Their mean age was 37.7 years (range 21-70), and 67% (n = 8) of all victims were in the age range of 30-50 years. The average methyl alcohol level reported among hospital deaths and brought dead was 116.08 mg/dl and 224.6 mg/dl, respectively. A blurred vision had been their most common complaint, identified in 75% (n = 6), followed by vomiting and abdominal pain, while 50% (n = 4) had features of respiratory insufficiency. Mean pH and bicarbonate levels among hospital deaths were 6.61 mmol/l and 6.18 mmol/l, respectively. An autopsy revealed signs of hypoxia in all cases. Internal organs were congested. Severe metabolic acidosis leading to the respiratory failure was the cause of death in early deaths. Cerebral and pulmonary edema consequent upon septicemic shock was the cause of late deaths. A case with the most extended survival duration showed cerebral edema with intracerebral hemorrhage. Cirrhotic liver, along with features of renal failure, was an additional internal finding in late deaths. Optic nerve histopathology showed no demyelination or axonal necrosis; however, mild edematous changes were evident. CONCLUSIONS Methanol poisoning is one of the manmade disasters in the developing world. There are various adverse effects of different organs and organ systems inside the body. Timely intervention and diagnosis can save several lives. The organ-directed meticulous autopsy can help autopsy surgeons in establishing the diagnosis and thus help the judiciary in delivering justice to the sufferers.

Abstract
Autopsies of accidental deaths in industrial scenarios have always been a challenging job for a forensic pathologist. Industries that employ chemical agents pose a unique risk, especially when safety protocols are ignored. Exposure to cyanide salts creates an additional risk since death may occur quickly. We present one such incident of the accidental deaths of three industrial workers, which could have been prevented if proper safety measures had been followed. Four workers fell unconscious while cleaning the electroplating chamber of the handicraft industry. Three were declared dead on arrival at the emergency department, while one survived. Autopsy of all three victims showed similar findings of pink-colored post-mortem staining and multiple petechial hemorrhages over the heart and lungs. After histopathological and chemical analysis, the cause of death was opined to be due to complications of cyanide poisoning. In accidental industrial deaths, the forensic pathologist should consider the possibility of death due to toxic chemicals, such as cyanide, used in the manufacturing process. The industrial personnel should be educated about the risks involved, and proper use of safety equipment should be encouraged to avoid such hazardous outcomes. Additionally, the people employed in the autopsy of the deaths related to chemical disasters should ensure their personal safety and preventive measures.

Serves 6
Marinating is one of my favourite culinary tricks – so quick and easy but so effective. These skewers are great for parties, and make brilliant leftovers if they’re not all snaffled by your guests. Thigh meat works particularly well in this recipe, as it retains its moisture in the cooking process.
Ingredients
1kg chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
2 red Romano peppers, cut into chunks
2 courgettes, cut into chunks
extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Marinade
3 tablespoons za’atar
1 teaspoon dried chilli flakes
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons dried mint
3 cloves of garlic, crushed
zest of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons olive oil
Method
Mix the marinade ingredients together in a large bowl. Cut each chicken thigh into 3 or 4 pieces and add to the marinade. Stir well, then either leave for a few hours or keep in the fridge overnight in a ziplock bag.
Preheat the grill as hot as it goes. Thread the chicken on to metal skewers with the vegetables, then place on a baking tray and brush with olive oil. Grill for 6–8 minutes each side. This will create a lot of smoke and crackles.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Despite significant progress in treating methanol poisoning, the lack of training, hazard communication, and occupational safety protection education contributes to the risk of occupational exposure and methanol toxicity. In addition, early diagnosis and timely medical care are essential to reduce the risk of morbidity and mortality, yet it remains a challenging procedure. CASE REPORT: A 35-year-old man working in a fireworks factory came to our emergency department with acute mental change and progressive disturbance of consciousness. The patient's vital signs were stable, and he presented with enlargement of both pupils with a weak reaction to light. Head computed tomography showed low signal intensities in the bilateral basal ganglia. He was admitted to the neurologic intensive care unit, where additional laboratory workup showed high anion-gap metabolic acidosis. Methanol poisoning was thus considered. Before being treated with sodium bicarbonate infusion, hemodialysis, folate, and high-dose vitamin B, the blood and urine samples were collected for toxicity tests, which turned out to be methanol poisoning. After 8 hours of hemodialysis, the patient's consciousness recovered, but he complained of a complete loss of vision in both eyes. Brain and optic nerve magnetic resonance images showed bilateral symmetric putamen lesions and optic neuropathy. Ophthalmic tests indicated visual pathway impairment and optic disc swelling but no fluorescein leakage. The right eye's vision was partially restored on the third day, but he could only count fingers at 20 cm. Unfortunately, his eyesight ceased to improve during the 6 months of follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: Early diagnosis and prompt treatment will improve the prognosis of methanol poisoning in terms of vision and patient survival. Awareness and supervision of commercial alcohol use are indispensable for similar industrial processes.

The same thing happens every year. We gorge ourselves on Christmas pudding, can’t move for a week, cry when we can’t do up our jeans and then vow to hit the gym like a maniac in January. But what if there was a way to enjoy your food this Christmas without the post-Roses box guilt? We asked Nutritional Therapist Amelia Freer for her top tips for not overindulging this Christmas.
1. Make time for a good breakfast and never skip meals
"Always start your day with a good quality protein breakfast which will set you up for the rest of the day. Look to include foods such as eggs, salmon or chicken. It’ll regulate your appetite and prevent energy dips too. The worst thing you can do is to just have a coffee on an empty stomach – you’ll almost certainly crave something naughty later on.
"Avoid skipping meals too. At this time of year, many people think that if they starve during the day then they can go crazy when they go out that evening. This means that blood sugar levels drop too low and you won’t be able to control your cravings later on. Look to include good fats in your meals too such as coconut oils, avocados, smoked salmon, mackerel, seeds, nuts and nut spreads (such as almond, hazelnut and tahini) which will make you feel fuller for longer and stop blood sugar levels dropping too low. Always make time to have three good quality meals a day, no matter how busy you are."
2. Enjoy your Christmas dinner - just exercise portion-control
"A traditional Christmas roast is actually quite healthy, it’s just the add-ons that need to be more carefully monitored. Roast turkey is a great example of a lean healthy protein which is rich in selenium and helps in the production of serotonin. Brussel sprouts are pretty much a super food in my opinion - they’re full of nutrients and recent studies have shown that they can reduce the risk of cancer too.
"Try to avoid rich, creamy sauces and sugary ones like cranberry sauce as well. Instead of dessert, maybe opt for a couple of glasses of wine instead during the meal. Ultimately though, your Christmas lunch should be enjoyed, so don’t be too hard on yourself! Look to control portion sizes instead. As a rough rule of thumb, look to divide your plate as follows: 25% for potatoes and starchy foods (the ‘naughty’ section of your plate!), 50% for vegetables,
25% for protein."
3. Experiment with desserts
"If the lure of dessert is too much, try making a few substitutions if you can. Instead of brandy butter, other great alternative creamy sauces could be nut cream, vanilla almond cream or COYO coconut yoghurt. Other suggestions could be a chia seed and orange pudding (which is similar to rice pudding) or an almond and orange cake instead."
4. Pre-empt the post-Christmas bloat
"Start taking a good quality digestive enzyme now to give your digestion a helping hand during the festive period. Take a good quality probiotic as well, which will give your immune system a boost. Try to look for ones that cost more than a tenner and avoid ones that are on special offer in supermarkets. It’s best to get them from a nutritional therapist or from a good specialist health shop." Shabir Daya, Pharmacist and co-founder of Victoria Health recommends taking Mega Probiotic ND, £18.50, ( www.victoriahealth.com ) to help maintain optimum health.
5. Be in control of your snacks
"Ensure that you have all of your health foods available to you at home or in the office so that you don't fall prey to going out hungry, or getting home and picking on junk because you’re hungry or have drunk too much. This is where the good fats like avocados, mackerel, salmon and nut spreads come in handy.
"If you’re hosting a party, try serving roasted vegetables instead of crisps and maybe something a little different like spicy roasted chickpeas or smoked mackerel pate, which is full of good fats and will keep you fuller for longer. Serve with celery and carrot sticks for the finishing touch.
"If you’re the guest, eat before you go and line your stomach with protein, so it makes it easier to say no when tempted!"
6. Steer clear of mixers
"Pure vodka is actually the least calorific spirit, but once mixers are used, this goes out the window as they contain so much sugar! For this reason, cocktails are the most fattening. My recommendations would be prosecco and sparkling wine as they don’t introduce such high levels of sugar into the blood. Make sure you have a glass of water in between drinks. This will keep you hydrated so that you feel better the next day."

I love these delightful, easy, summery jellies, making the most of our vibrant seasonal berries. They are not too sweet and are so refreshing. I’ve included a vegan-friendly version for those of you who do not eat gelatine.
Makes 6
RECIPE 1 – The Gelatine
4 leaves of gelatine
450ml elderflower pressé
200g mixed berries
fresh mint leaves, for garnish
Soak the gelatine leaves in a bowl with 100ml of cold water for 4–5 minutes, until they swell and soften. Remove them from the bowl, squeezing out any liquid. Put them into a pan with 3 tablespoons of the elderflower and stir until it melts, then combine with the rest of the elderflower and pour into 6 glasses, placing a mix of berries in each and a small mint leaf or two, if you have some.
Leave to set in the fridge overnight, or for at least 3–4 hours.
MORE GLOSS: Amelia Freer's healthy summer eating plan
RECIPE 2 – The Vegan
450ml coconut water or elderflower pressé
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons agar flakes
200g mixed berries
Place the coconut water, maple syrup and lemon juice in a small pan (or use elderflower, without the maple syrup and lemon). Stir, then sprinkle over the agar flakes and bring to the boil without stirring. Lower the heat and simmer for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the agar has dissolved. Pour into a heatproof jug and leave to cool for 15–20 minutes.
Divide the berries between 6 small glasses and pour the cooled liquid over the top. Agar will set at room temperature usually within the hour, but these are very nice chilled if made in advance.

As we head into the colder months it’s good to know the best ways to avoid getting ill. December onwards is when we’re most at risk of a being infected with a cold or flu virus. As the weather changes it's important to wrap up warm and take extra care of your immune system.
Strains of flu and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV, which has cold-like symptoms) are all spread through air droplets – most winter viruses are airborne. It sounds obvious, and easier said than done, but try to make sure no one sneezes on you or that no one who’s ill coughs and splutters on you.
What to eat to avoid a cold
I generally advise people to eat an abundance of leafy greens, as well as plentiful portions of colourful fruit and veg and to drink enough water as this helps protect against winter viruses.
Smoothies are a great way of packing in lots of nutritious greens, fruit and veg into a single serving or try to serve your meals on a bed of greens so you get at least a handful of leafy greens a day. Aim for ten servings of colourful fruit and veg a day to ensure optimal immune function and detoxification.
The immune system is like your inner army that will fight any invading bugs so it’s important that you support it with plentiful micronutrients. Swapping processed foods for real, whole foods will help nourish and support a robust immune system. Try to eat immune-boosting foods such as mushrooms, garlic, kiwis, pumpkin seeds and berries a few times a week to support your immune army.
Get in the habit of sprinkling seeds on your porridge, soups and salads or drizzle garlic on your favourite dishes to super-boost your intake. I try to eat a clove of garlic and three different types of berries each day, especially in winter!
How to avoid catching a cold or flu
It sounds obvious but carrying a bottle of hand sanitiser with you and using it after touching handrails, toilet doors and anything situated in crowded public places really makes a difference. But also remember that phones, kitchen surfaces and steering wheels are also covered in bugs so clean them regularly too. Sometimes you can’t help being around sick people (I can’t in my job!) so the more preventative measures you can take the better.
That hand gel will come in useful when it comes to preventing winter diarrhoea and vomiting bugs, as they tend to come from direct contact - make sure you wash your hands thoroughly throughout the day too and don’t touch your face or eat food if you haven’t.
Bugs spread easily when we are all huddled indoors for long periods of time as we are in the winter. So make sure in the colder months that you still get outside and get some fresh air. Fresh air in the winter is vital because indoor air can be stale, old and full of bugs!
Exercise to keep illness at bay
Regular physical activity boosts the circulation and supports the immune function in the colder months and results in better levels of circulating natural killer cells - the cells that specifically target viruses such as flu. I advise everyone to exercise four or five times a week all year around.
Stress also has a negative impact on your immune system so make sure you learn to manage your stress if you are prone to colds and flu. Try regular yoga , meditation or pilates to help calm the mind and reduce stress levels. Get plenty of sleep too . Studies have found that those who are sleep deprived are four times more likely to get a cold than those achieving seven to eight hours of restful sleep a night.
How to make a cold better
With colds, the more symptoms you have — i.e. the more you sneeze and cough — the more likely you are to spread the infection. These germs can travel up to six feet so always cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze. Better still, stay at home when you’re sick to avoid spreading to others.
If you feel a virus coming on, there are a few things you can do immediately to lessen its severity. Good, restful sleep will boost the immune system and help fight off infections. Aim for seven to nine hours a night, that seems to be the sweet spot for the vast majority of us.
If you struggle to get to sleep then look at your sleep routine and see how you can improve it. Remove all phones and technology from the bedroom, try a sleep mask , get blackout blinds and get into a nighttime routine.
Good sleep requires a bit of self-hypnosis - create a calm environment and get into a headspace that invites sleep in. If you struggle to get to sleep them apps like Calm have sleep meditations that you can try. Hydration is important too so sip on water regularly throughout the day or warm herbal tea.
Aim for eight glasses a day at a minimum but try to avoid fluids just before bed as they can disturb your sleep. For a stuffy nose over the counter saline nasal drops can be effective at loosening the mucus and for a sore throat, saltwater gargling can help to loosen mucus and soothe the pain (put a half teaspoon of salt in a cupful of warm water and gargle for a few minutes).
Which vitamins to take for a cold?
There is some evidence that vitamin C, zinc and echinacea help reduce the length and severity of colds so start taking them as soon as you feel any symptoms. For vitamin C, aim for a dose of one gram per day when you feel a cold coming on and continue for two weeks. A recent Cochrane review found that zinc supplementation (as lozenges or tablets) can help reduce the duration and severity of a cold but it made no recommendation about dosage.
If you want to try zinc then take a daily dose of 10mg over the winter months, which should ensure that your levels are topped up. For fever and body aches over-the-counter paracetamol and ibuprofen can help. Vitamin D3 (2000iu daily), omega 3 (1000mg EPA/DHA daily) and probiotics (multi-strain with at least 20billion CFU’s) are also helpful.
MORE GLOSS: What to eat now: The budget veg with more vitamin C than an orange
For anyone with susceptibility to influenza (ie those with asthma, previous TB, cancer, chronic disease or for those that are elderly) then it’s worth getting the flu jab every winter. It’s the best way to prevent flu and reduces your risk by over 50%. Have it early in the winter season at it takes two weeks to develop a full immune response.

- AUD/JPY pierces one-month-old resistance line on upbeat China PMI for June.
- China Caixin Services PMI jumped to 54.5 in June, versus 47.3 expected.
- 21-DMA offers additional upside filter to probe falling wedge confirmation.
- 50-DMA acts as immediate support before the wedge’s lower line.
AUD/JPY remains on the front foot around a one-week high as buyers poke the short-term key hurdle near 94.00 after China flashed upbeat data during Tuesday’s Asian session.
That said, China’s Caixin Services PMI for June rallied past market consensus and previous readouts as it flashed 54.5 figure, compared to 47.3 forecasts and 41.4 prior.
While cheering the upbeat China data, AUD/JPY crosses the upper line of the one-month-old falling wedge chart pattern, suggesting further advances.
However, the 21-DMA level near 94.05 appears the validation point for the cross-currency pair’s further upside towards the theoretical target surrounding 101.50.
It’s worth noting that the late June swing high near 95.30, the previous monthly peak of 96.88 and the 100.00 psychological magnet could entertain AUD/JPY during the run-up to 101.50.
On the contrary, failure to provide a daily closing beyond 94.05 could drag the quote back to 50-DMA support near 92.50.
Following that, the lower line of the stated wedge, close to 91.30, may entertain the AUD/JPY pair sellers before directing them to the 90.00 round figure.
Overall, confirmation of the bullish chart pattern joins upbeat MACD and RSI signals to keep buyers hopeful ahead of the key Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) Interest Rate Decision.
AUD/JPY: Daily chart
Trend: Further upside expected

RICHMOND, Va. — Amber Heard's lawyers have asked a judge to throw out the $10.35 million verdict against her in the defamation case filed by ex-husband Johnny Depp, arguing that the verdict was not supported by the evidence and that one of the jurors may not have been properly vetted by the court.
In post-trial motions filed Friday, Heard's attorneys call the jury's June 1 award of $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages to Depp “excessive” and “indefensible.” They ask the judge to set aside the verdict and dismiss Depp's lawsuit or order a new trial. Immediately after the verdict, the judge reduced the compensatory damages to $350,000 under a state cap.
Depp sued Heard for libel in Fairfax County Circuit Court over a December 2018 op-ed she wrote in The Washington Post describing herself as “a public figure representing domestic abuse.” Depp's lawyers alleged he was defamed by the article even though it never mentioned him by name.
The six-week televised trial turned into a spectacle that offered a window into their dysfunctional marriage. Much of the testimony focused on Heard's claims that she had been physically and sexually abused by Depp. Heard described more than a dozen alleged assaults, including a fight in Australia — where Depp was shooting a “Pirates of the Caribbean” sequel — in which Depp lost the tip of his middle finger and Heard said she was sexually assaulted with a liquor bottle.
Depp said he never hit Heard and that she was the abuser.
Depp had to prove that he never assaulted Heard, that her op-ed piece defamed him and that she wrote the article with actual malice.
In their post-trial motions, Heard's legal team argued that to find that Heard had actual malice, Depp would have had to show that at the time Heard's article was published, she did not believe she had been abused.
“Instead, the evidence overwhelmingly supported Ms. Heard believed she was the victim of abuse at the hands of Mr. Depp,” Heard's lawyers say in their motion.
Heard's lawyers also ask the judge to investigate “potential improper juror service," alleging that one of the jurors who was chosen to serve on the jury was listed as being born in 1945 in documents given to the attorneys before the jury selection process, but is listed as being born in 1970 in publicly available information.
“This discrepancy raises the question whether Juror 15 actually received a summons for jury duty and was properly vetted by the Court to serve on the jury,” Heard's lawyers said in their motion.
Depp's attorneys did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The jury also awarded Heard $2 million in her counterclaim against Depp, finding that that Heard was defamed by one of Depp’s lawyers, who accused her of creating a detailed hoax that included roughing up the couple’s apartment to look worse for police.
In some ways, the trial was a replay of a lawsuit Depp filed in the United Kingdom against a British tabloid after he was described as a “wife beater.” The judge in that case ruled in the newspaper’s favor in 2020 after finding that Heard was telling the truth in her descriptions of abuse.

JOHNSTON, Iowa — Each Fourth of July weekend there are cookouts, fireworks and sometimes firework-related injuries.
According to U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in 2021 fireworks were involved with around 11,500 injuries.
Representatives from Broadlawns Medical Center and Mary Greeley Medical Center both said from Friday to Sunday morning this past weekend they had zero firework-related injuries in their emergency rooms.
Though both facilities saw zero firework-related injuries, Fire Marshal Craig Ver Huel, with the Johnston-Grimes Metropolitan Fire Department, said people still need to be careful as the holiday celebrations continue.
This included not letting children handle fireworks or watching them if they use sparklers, because he said they can reach temperatures higher than 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
He also recommended people who are handling fireworks stay sober, because if not it could lead to problems.
"There's always that possibility where things don't go as planned," Ver Huel said. "Don't point them at other people, don't throw them at other people."
Ver Huel noted when people are trying to put out fireworks it's best to soak them in water before throwing them in the trash.
He also said if anyone has extra fireworks and is uneasy about disposing of them themselves, they can drop them off at the Johnston-Grimes Metropolitan Fire Department.
Local 5 did reach out to UnityPoint and MercyOne to see if they had any firework-related injuries over the weekend.
UnityPoint did not respond and MercyOne said they don't have the capacity to track that data at this time.

Reuters highlights the latest Bank of Canada (BOC) survey to raise the possibilities of a heavy rate hike in its analytical piece published late Monday.
“Consumer inflation expectations surged in Canada, hitting fresh highs in the short-term and up "significantly" over the long-term, a Bank of Canada survey showed Monday, bolstering calls for a very rare 75-basis point rate increase,” said the update.
Key findings
Consumers' expectations for inflation have risen, alongside concerns about prices for food, gas and rent, the central bank said in its second-quarter Survey of Consumer Expectations.
Generally, people see inflation as being more pervasive now.
In a separate survey, the bank found businesses expect high inflation for longer, with firms eyeing survey-record wage increases over the next 12 months and many planning to pass rising costs onto customers.
The surveys both reinforce calls for a 75-bp rate increase at the Bank of Canada's next decision on July 13. That would be the largest hike since August 1998, when the bank lifted rates by 100 bp to defend the currency.

Known to give in to your sweet tooth on numerous occasions? Fear not, because Oh, Ladycakes, the brainchild of Denver-based vegan baker Ashlae Warner, could be the solution to guilt-free desserts (yes, there can be such a thing).
Ashlae developed her food blog to share her delicious from-scratch recipes, covering everything from almond milk caramel sauce and brownie cakes with chocolate coconut frosting to raw fig cheesecake and sweet potato waffles with cacao nibs.
We spoke to Ashlae to see what stimulates her to create her unique recipes and what she hopes to achieve with a vegan food blog…
What do you hope people will take away from your blog?
That vegan baking (or anything vegan, really) doesn't have to be synonymous with gross. I'll be the first to admit there are some funky imitation ingredients out there, but if you steer clear of those and make use of things that are naturally vegan - coconut oil, dark chocolate, etc. - it'll feel less like a weird science experiment and more like normal, everyday baking… just without the eggs and butter.
Which 5 things would we find in your fridge?
Let's see. There's always a drawer full of in-season produce, Grade B maple syrup, Justin's peanut butter cups, full fat coconut milk, and tamari.
What’s your personal food philosophy?
It's simple: eat more plants.
What’s your top cooking tip?
I can't stress this enough: prep ahead. That way if you come home exhausted and the last thing you want to do is think about what to make for dinner, you've got it right in front of you, ready to go. It's the difference between eating a bowl (or three) of cereal or teriyaki tofu with brown rice and steamed vegetables. And the latter isn't all that much more difficult, so long as you've got some of the components prepped ahead of time.
Where do you get your recipe ideas from?
If you asked me this six months ago I'd say other food blogs, cookbooks, etc., which is still the case at times, but lately I've been incredibly inspired by just walking into my kitchen and opening the cupboards. Often, they're on the sparse side, limiting my options - but it's the limitation that forces me to really get creative. I just finished working on a recipe for three-ingredient peanut butter fudge and, had I gone to the grocery store to get the ingredients I thought I needed, there would be no three-ingredient peanut butter fudge.

AKRON, Ohio — Nearly one week after the officer-involved shooting that resulted in the death of 25-year-old Jayland Walker, Akron Police and the City of Akron released body cam footage of the incident, which Akron Mayor Dan Horrigan called “heartbreaking and tough to take in.”
The two videos released included a narrated version of the events that led to the shooting, as well as the shooting itself, in which involved multiple officers fired several shots at Walker. While Walker’s body was blurred in the body cam footage per the request of his family, the video remains graphic in nature.
3News Investigates previously reported that per a police source, more than 90 shots were fired at Walker, striking him 60 times. On Sunday, Akron Police Chief Steve Mylett said that he could not confirm the number of shots fired at Walker at this time, but said he expected the number to be high and that he wouldn’t be surprised if it matched the figure that had been circulating in the media. He also confirmed that initial medical examiner reports indicated Walker suffered more than 60 gunshot wounds, although it is still being determined how many were entrance and exit wounds.
Shortly after Sunday's 1 p.m. press conference, the City of Akron released additional footage from the bodycams of multiple police officers. Walker's body was not blurred in this video and shows him being shot several times, including after he first fell to the ground. 3News will keep that video posted for 48 hours in the video player below.
*Warning: the video is extremely graphic in nature and may be upsetting to viewers*
The incident took place just after midnight on Monday, June 27, when officers attempted to pull over Walker’s car for a traffic and equipment violation. Walker proceeded to lead the officers on a high-speed chase down East Tallmadge Avenue toward State Route 8.
At some point during the pursuit, police say that Walker fired a gun out of the window of his car. Among the footage released on Sunday was a traffic video that showed a flash coming out of Walker’s car that they say is consistent with a gunshot.
Following the six-minute-long chase, Walker exited the car on Wilbeth Road near the Bridgestone Tire offices while wearing a black ski mask. The footage shows officers attempting to deploy non-lethal tasers before firing their guns and striking Walker, who was unarmed at the time of the shooting.
Police said that they fired their guns because Walker made a motion that caused them to fear for their lives. Mylett said that while it is difficult to see in a real-time viewing of the video, screen captures from the footage show Walker making multiple movements -- including Walker moving his hand to his waist area, turning toward the officers and making a forward motion with his arm -- that he said that each officer involved believed to be Walker moving into a “firing” position.
A gun, magazine round, and gold wedding ring were found in the passenger seat of Walker’s car. Mylett said that officers attempted to perform life-saving aid at the scene before Walker was pronounced dead.
Per department policy, the officers involved have been placed on paid administrative leave. Seven of the eight officers involved were white and none had previously faced work-related discipline. Walker is Black.
The incident is being investigated by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation. Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost said that at the investigation’s conclusion, the report will be made available to the public. Horrigan asked the public for patience during the investigation.
“I am urging the public to do one of the most difficult things I can ask, and that is to be patient and let the Attorney General's Bureau of Criminal Investigation do their work," Horrigan said. "It's my commitment to be as open and transparent as we can be, given that there is an ongoing independent investigation. I trust that investigation to be fair, thorough, and just.”
Following the City of Akron's press conference on Sunday, the attorney representing Walker's family, Bobby DiCello, held his own press conference. DiCello accused the City of only showing snapshots of the incident during the press conference, which he said was an attempt to turn Walker into a "masked monster with a gun."
"At the time he was shot, more than 90 or 60 [times] or whatever the unbelievable number will be, he was unarmed," DiCello stressed.
With multiple protests in the Akron area planned on Sunday, both city officials, as well as DiCello, called for any demonstrations that occur to be peaceful in nature. Last week, Horrigan canceled the city's annual "Rib, White and Blue" Fourth of July event, stating that it is not the appropriate time for a city-sponsored celebration.

China Caixin Services PMI for June have been released as follows:
- 54.5 (vs 41.4 in May).
"Overall, regional COVID outbreaks were put under control and restrictions were loosened in June, facilitating a gradual recovery in business operations," said Wang Zhe, Senior Economist at Caixin Insight Group.
"Deteriorating household income and expectations caused by a weak labour market dampened the demand recovery. Correspondingly, supportive policies should target employees, gig workers and low-income groups impacted by the outbreaks."

As per the following series of technical analyses, AUD has been in the hands of the bulls this week so far ahead of the Reserve Bank of Australia meeting:

The 0.6880s that were forecasted into the RBA have been met and the bulls have moved in on the 0.6990s with a pre-China data high of 0.6994:
There is going to the liquidity above the 0.6900 level which could well be exploited around the RBA event.

VAN METER, Iowa — Authorities are searching for a tuber who went missing on the Raccoon River Sunday, July 3rd.
Around 4:10 p.m., officers with the Dallas County Sheriff's Office responded to a call about a group of tubers in distress on the Raccoon River.
Once on scene, they were able to get most of the group — which police said was made up of about seven or eight people — to shore. However, members of the group reported that a man in his mid-30s went underwater and they were unable to find him.
As of July 4, the search for the missing tuber is still ongoing.
Local 5 will update this story as more information becomes available.

WINDSOR HEIGHTS, Iowa — For many of us, fireworks are the most memorable part of the Fourth of July. But those big bangs that we all love so much can cause some big trouble if you aren't careful.
Some Iowans are being reminded of that the hard way.
On Sunday, July 3, emergency response crews were called to a house fire on 3rd Street in Waukee. The homeowner told Local 5 off-camera that he had been shooting off fireworks earlier that evening and he put them in the garbage, where they later caught fire.
Out in Nevada, firefighters shared on Facebook that they were called to their first fire related to fireworks since they were legalized in Iowa back in 2017.
Kim Sandstoe with Jake's Fireworks said there's a lot to consider before you start your 4th of July fun.
"They need to be aware of what they have around them as far as trees. Are you in a neighborhood where you've got roof tops where some of the debris may be coming down?" Sandstoe said.
But just getting the fireworks into the sky safely is only half the battle. Like the Waukee house fire showed, firework enthusiasts need to know how to properly dispose of them after the show's over.
"You can douse it with a little bit of water to make sure there isn't any additional heat or explosion going, but just give it some time to to automatically cool off on its own, and then collect the matter and dispose of it," Sandstoe said.
The National Safety Council says that more than 18,000 fires every year are caused by fireworks.
Additional tips from the Iowa Fire Marshal include:
- Only allow adults to handle fireworks.
- Never try to re-light dud fireworks.
- Do not aim fireworks at spectators.
- Whoever is handling the fireworks should stay sober.

- EUR/GBP stays mildly bid inside a 13-day-old bullish channel.
- Steady RSI adds to the upside bias, 200-SMA strengthens 0.8560 support.
- Pullback from 0.8680 appears necessary to defend the yearly high.
EUR/GBP picks up bids to reverse the week-start losses around 0.8615 during Tuesday’s Asian session. In doing so, the cross-currency pair remain inside a two-week-long ascending trend channel.
Adding strength to the bullish bias is the firmer RSI (14), as well as the pair’s sustained trading beyond the 200-SMA.
It’s worth noting, however, that the upside momentum needs validation from the latest swing high near 0.8680 before rejecting the bullish channel formation, by crossing the 0.8685 hurdle.
In doing so, the EUR/GBP pair buyers could aim for the recently flashed multi-month high near 0.8720.
Meanwhile, pullback remains elusive until staying beyond the 0.8560 support confluence including the 200-SMA and lower line of the stated channel.
In a case where EUR/GBP drops below 0.8560, the odds of its pullback towards a six-week-old horizontal support area near 0.8485-80 can’t be ruled out.
Overall, EUR/GBP holds onto the bullish trajectory towards refreshing the multi-month high marked in June, near 0.8720. However, any upside beyond the same appears less likely.
EUR/GBP: Four-hour chart
Trend: Further upside expected

WASHINGTON — Brittney Griner has made an appeal to President Joe Biden in a letter passed to the White House through her representatives saying she feared she might never return home and asking that he not “forget about me and the other American Detainees.”
Griner's agent Lindsay Kagawa Colas said the letter was delivered on Monday. Most of the letter's contents to President Biden remain private, though Griner's representatives shared a few lines from the hand-written note.
″…As I sit here in a Russian prison, alone with my thoughts and without the protection of my wife, family, friends, Olympic jersey, or any accomplishments, I’m terrified I might be here forever,” Griner wrote.
“On the 4th of July, our family normally honors the service of those who fought for our freedom, including my father who is a Vietnam War Veteran," the Phoenix Mercury center added. “It hurts thinking about how I usually celebrate this day because freedom means something completely different to me this year.”
The two-time Olympic gold medalist is in the midst of a trial in Russia that began last week after she was arrested on Feb. 17 on charges of possessing cannabis oil while returning to play for her Russian team. The trial will resume Thursday.
Fewer than 1% of defendants in Russian criminal cases are acquitted, and unlike in U.S. courts, acquittals can be overturned.
Griner pleaded with Biden in the letter to use his powers to ensure her return.
“Please do all you can to bring us home. I voted for the first time in 2020 and I voted for you. I believe in you. I still have so much good to do with my freedom that you can help restore,” Griner said "I miss my wife! I miss my family! I miss my teammates! It kills me to know they are suffering so much right now. I am grateful for whatever you can do at this moment to get me home.”
Griner has been able to have sporadic communications with family, friends and WNBA players through an email account her agent set up. The emails are printed out and delivered in bunches to Griner by her lawyer after they are vetted by Russian officials. Once the lawyers get back to their office, they’ll scan any responses from Griner and pass them back to the U.S. to send along.
She was supposed to have a phone call with her wife on their anniversary but it failed because of an “unfortunate mistake,” Biden administration officials.
Griner’s supporters have encouraged a prisoner swap like the one in April that brought home Marine veteran Trevor Reed in exchange for a Russian pilot convicted of drug trafficking conspiracy. The State Department in May designated her as wrongfully detained, moving her case under the supervision of its special presidential envoy for hostage affairs, effectively the government’s chief hostage negotiator.
Griner isn't the only American being wrongfully detained in Russia. Paul Whelan, a former Marine and security director is serving a 16-year sentence on an espionage conviction.

- GBP/USD has corrected to near 1.2100 as DXY displayed a volatile show at open.
- The release of the Fed minutes will be the major event for the greenback bulls.
- Pound bulls are facing the headwinds of real income shocks and Brexit jitters.
The GBP/USD pair has slipped to near the critical support of 1.2100 after facing barricades around 1.2118 in the Asian session. The cable is in a correction mode after failing to sustain above 1.2160 on Monday, however, a resumption in the upside journey cannot be warranted as the market participants are awaiting the release of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) minutes on Wednesday.
The US dollar index (DXY) is displaying wild moves at the open as an extra-long weekend on US Independence Day added volatility to the asset.
The release of the minutes after the policy announcement facilitates the market participants with more information on the condition of the US economy and how policy decisions will impact the economy further.
Investors must be aware of the fact that the Federal Reserve (Fed) announced a 75 basis point (bps) interest rate hike to combat the soaring inflation. The inflation rate has climbed to 8.6% despite the balance sheet reduction program and the elevation of the borrowing rates to 1.50-1.75%. The detailed minutes on the interest rate decision will delight investors and help them to take informed decisions.
Meanwhile, the pound bulls are broadly on the backfoot amid tensions on renewed Brexit and enlarging real income shocks in the UK economy. The odds of the UK returning to the EU have trimmed significantly as Sir Kier Stammer, leader of the labor party in the UK has denied returning to the EU. Speaking to the BBC's political editor Chris Mason before the speech, Sir Keir said: "We want to go forward, not backward. And therefore this is not about rejoining the EU.
Also, the households in the UK economy are facing the headwinds of large real income shocks. The inflation rate in the pound region has surpassed 9% and its multiplier effects have trimmed the paychecks of the households. The Bank of England (BOE) is highly required to focus on cooling off the ultra-hot inflation.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark — A gunman who killed three people when he opened fire in a crowded shopping mall acted alone and apparently selected his victims at random, Danish police said Monday, all but ruling out that the attack was an “act of terrorism.”
Police have not identified a motive for Sunday’s attack inside one of Scandinavia’s biggest shopping centers. A suspect carrying a rifle and knife was quickly arrested, and Copenhagen chief police inspector Søren Thomassen said the 22-year-old Danish man also had access to another gun.
He said the firearms were obtained illegally and that the suspect was known to mental health services but gave no further details on either.
“It was the worst possible nightmare,” Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said Monday, calling the attack "unusually brutal.”
The three killed were a 17-year-old boy and a 17-year-old girl, both Danes, and a 47-year-old Russian man, according to Thomassen. Four more people were hospitalized with gunshot wounds and were in critical but stable condition. In all 30 people were hurt, most in the panicked stampede after the shots rang out at the Field's shopping center, on the outskirts of the Danish capital.
The last shooting on this scale was in February 2015, when a 22-year-old man was killed in a shootout with police after an attack in the capital that left two people dead and five police officers wounded.
The suspect arrived for a hearing in a packed courtroom, where he is expected to be arraigned on three preliminary charges of murder and four of attempted murder, according to Danish media. Preliminary charges are a step short of filing formal charges but allow authorities to keep a suspect in custody during an investigation. He cannot be named under a court order, media reported.
Thomassen said police had no indication that anyone helped the gunman, and his motive remains unclear.
“There is nothing in our investigation, or the documents we have reviewed, or the things we have found, or the witnesses’ statements we have gotten, that can substantiate that this is an act of terrorism," said Thomassen, who previously identified the suspect as an “ethnic Dane,” a phrase typically used to mean someone is white.
Danish broadcaster TV2 published a grainy photo of the alleged gunman, a man wearing knee-length shorts, a vest or sleeveless shirt, and holding what appeared to be a rifle in his right hand.
“He seemed very violent and angry,” eyewitness Mahdi Al-Wazni told TV2. “He spoke to me and said it (the rifle) isn’t real as I was filming him. He seemed very proud of what he was doing.”
Images from the scene showed people running out of the mall, where people laid flowers on Monday.
Chassandra Stoltz, an 18-year-old student who was on her way to a Harry Styles concert that was scheduled for Sunday night nearby, described a stampede as the shots rang out. At first, she and her sister and father thought it was because someone had spotted Styles — but she soon realized the panic, including a man who grabbed his child from a stroller in the chaos.
“People were guiding us towards the exit sign, and we ran up the roof and we were stuck there for a while and then people were panicking all over the place and people were crying,” Stoltz said.
The Styles concert was canceled due to the shooting.
Sunday's attack came about a week after a shooting in neighboring Norway, where police said a Norwegian man of Iranian origin opened fire during a LGBTQ festival, killing two and wounding more than 20.

- Gold remains pressured after a downbeat week-start amid traders’ anxiety ahead of the key data/events.
- US Treasury yields pare recent downside moves amid sluggish session.
- US-China trade headlines, upbeat performance of EU bond coupons also defend buyers.
- Sellers keep worrying global economic slowdown, US Factory Orders can direct intraday moves but FOMC Minutes, NFP is the key.
Gold Price (XAU/USD) remains pressured around $1,807, after beginning the week’s trading on a negative side, as traders stay worried ahead of crucial catalysts up for publication during the week. In doing so, the bright metal fails to cheer firmer US Treasury yields, as well as a pullback in the US Dollar Index (DXY).
That said, the greenback gauge struggles to defend the two-day uptrend around 105.15 as buyers retreat from a two-week top.
The DXY’s latest pullback could be linked to the firmer Treasury yields. It’s worth noting that the benchmark 10-year Treasury bond yields keep the previous U-turn from a one-month low at around 2.95%, up by five basis points (bps) from Friday’s closing.
Underlying the firmer US Treasury yields are the firmer prints of the German Bunds and chatters surrounding the US discussion on removing the Trump-era tariffs on China. However, an offer in the US and fears of economic slowdown, as well as anxiety ahead of Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) Minutes and the US Jobs report for June, appear to challenge the metal buyers.
It should be observed that the yields on the 10-year German Bund rose over 10 basis points to 1.32% at the latest.
Looking forward, US Factory Orders for May, expected 0.5% versus 0.3%, could entertain gold traders ahead of the key Fed Minutes and US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) data. Additionally important will be the updates surrounding the global economic slowdown and the US-China trade relations.
Technical analysis
A three-week-old horizontal area between $1,805 and $1,802 restricts immediate gold price downside. Also challenging the metal sellers are the steady RSI and the bullish MACD signals.
However, a convergence of the 100-SMA and descending trend line from June 16, around $1,827, guards nearby upside moves of the XAU/USD. Also acting as an upside filter is the 200-SMA level surrounding $1,840.
Meanwhile, a downside break of the $1,802, needs validation from the $1,800 threshold before challenging the yearly low surrounding $1,780.
On the contrary, gold price run-up beyond $1,840 enables the buyers to aim for June’s peak of $1,879.

Whether you’re looking for food that will warm the soul or satisfy your sweet tooth, we can guarantee that The Broken Bread’s latest post will be exactly what you need. Kristan bases her dishes and recipes on the ever-changing seasons. A big lover of her local food markets, she scours every stall for the freshest fruits and vegetables at the peak of their flavour. These are then turned into a mouth-watering meal, which Kristan usually shares alongside a heartwarming story.
We quizzed the food blogger about her favourite cooking season and what she hopes to achieve with her website…
What made you decide to start writing your blog?
My blog was born out of a love for the art of baking, and for the ability to share my creations with others.What’s your favourite aspect of blogging and are there any downsides?
I am completely blown away by the fact that I can connect with people from all over the world. It’s crazy to think that I have connected with people from America to Greece to Africa. The only downside is that I wish I could meet all of them!
How do you balance blogging with other interests or jobs? Do you ever go offline?
I have finally learned that I NEED a proper schedule, otherwise I can get distracted quite easily, but thankfully it all works out in the end. Oh, yeah, I am offline a lot. I am either working, baking, or spending waaaaay too much time at the local farmers market.
What is your personal food philosophy? Are there any food groups/types that you avoid?
Food is such a gift and I think that one should enjoy everything in moderation. I pretty much eat everything and anything, just give me a little hot sauce and I’m in.
How do you create new recipes? Is it a trial and error process?
I have a TON of books that I look through for inspiration on flavors and techniques. Then I head over to the Farmer’s Market to collect my seasonal ingredients and from that point on it is all a trial and error process until I get it just right.
Have you had any cooking disasters?
Oh man, I totally have. Sometimes what I make looks pretty beat up, like ugly, but sometimes still tastes pretty good. Other times, the recipe, well, let’s just say it wasn’t edible :)
How do you decide which recipes to feature on your blog?
I feature recipes that I love! I always try to share my recipes with others, and use their input to gauge whether or not I should share it on my blog. I just want to make sure I am not sharing a recipe that only I think is good, because if that was the case I am sure you would see some odd things on my site :)
You mention your cooking being inspired by the time of year. Which is your favourite season to cook in and why?
I am a HUGE fan of cooking seasonally. This is such a hard question because I love each season for so many reasons. I guess, if I have to answer, I would say Summer is a strong contender. The fruits and veggies that are around during this time of year are so easy to use. A few tomatoes and basil can make a killer lunch, or maybe just some fresh berries folded into a lemon cream. I am also am in love with stone fruits and figs, and they are in full swing during the summer time.
What do you hope people will take away from your blog?
My hope is that people get excited about what’s currently in their local markets, and in turn make a dessert or meal that they can share with their loved ones. I love food for so many reasons, but especially its ability to create an atmosphere for a lovely gathering.
What are your three favourite recipes?
I love my recipe for buttermilk blueberry scones; I enjoy making them just as much I like eating them. My other two would be my bacon, pear, and brie panini, and my marshmallow meringue pumpkin pie.
If you kept a food diary, what would a typical day look like?
Mornings are my favorite part of the day, so I typically start off with a fresh pot of coffee and a simple brekky, usually yogurt and berries. Lunch is either a salad, or a veggie sandwich filled with heaps of avocado. And dinner is always different. Last night it was a batch of chicken enchiladas and a bit of ice cream for dessert.
Which ten ingredients do you use most often?
Eggs, flour, sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, buttermilk, yogurt, honey, grape seed oil, and as many seasonal fruits as I can get my hands on.
What five things are always in your fridge?
Buttermilk, eggs, butter, greek yogurt, and beer.
Where are your favourite places to buy ingredients?
I always go the farmers market for my fresh produce, and there are so many around that I can visit one almost every day of the week. For my pantry staples, I usually visit a market like whole foods, or if I have time, some specialty stores for fresh bread, meats, or cheeses.
Which three kitchen appliances could you not live without?
Oh, I couldn’t make it without my oven, KitchenAid mixer, or my baker’s scale.
Where are your favourite places to go when eating out?
I love going to places that combine great cuisine with great vibe. I like to take my time when eating out, so the more welcoming the environment the better. Lately, we have been visiting a local Mediterranean food spot that we love; also we have a sweet bar down the street that serves great burgers and beers.
Who are your favourite bloggers?
I have so many that inspire me! Off the top of my head I would say London Bakes, MynameisYeh , Two Red Bowls, The Faux Martha, The Sprouted Kitchen, and many more!
What does the future hold for your blog? Are there any exciting developments in the pipeline?
I actually have a few things lined up, but you will have to keep an eye on the blog to find out ;)

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The U.S. Supreme Court limited the power of the federal government to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from existing power plants. But its ruling didn't touch the power of the states.
That's putting a renewed focus on efforts across the country to limit the reliance on power plants that spew planet-warming emissions into the air. While Democratic states have taken the lead on the most aggressive climate policy in recent years, some Republican-led states are also helping shift the U.S. power grid toward cleaner sources of energy.
“This ruling makes clear that the actions of governors and state legislatures are more important than ever before. Thankfully, state authority to curb greenhouse gas emissions has not changed,” Democratic Govs. Jay Inslee of Washington, Kathy Hochul of New York and Gavin Newsom of California said in a statement after the ruling. The three are co-chairs of the U.S. Climate Alliance, a group of 24 states committed to climate action.
States can cut emissions from power plants in a handful of direct and indirect ways. Chief among them are carbon markets that aim to lower emissions from large, polluting facilities over time and rules that require utilities to buy certain amounts of energy from renewable or non-carbon sources.
California, New York and Washington are all known for setting some of the nation’s most ambitious climate goals. All three have committed to getting 100% of their electric power from non-carbon sources by 2040 or 2045. But they’re not alone. Eighteen states have set 100% clean energy goals, according to the U.S. Climate Alliance.
Most of the states in the alliance are led by Democrats, but a few including Vermont, Massachusetts and Maryland have Republican governors. Together the states account for 42% of the nation's greenhouse gas emissions.
So-called renewable portfolio standards don't directly regulate emissions. But they have a similar effect by encouraging utilities not to purchase power from carbon-emitting sources like coal-fired plants. They also encourage a ramp-up of solar, wind and other types of renewable power so that utilities will have enough places to buy energy as the rules tighten.
More than a dozen U.S. states also participate in some type of carbon market that more directly regulates emissions from power plants. Such markets set caps on the amount of allowable emissions, and polluters must buy allowances equal to what they want to emit.
The allowable emissions cap goes down over time, causing prices for the emissions allowances to go up. The goal is to encourage power plants and other polluters to reduce their emissions over time in a way that´s economically optimal for them and their customers.
California runs a cap-and-trade program that's a key part of the state's path to lowering emissions 40% below 1990 levels by 2030, though some critics question whether it can achieve that goal. On the East Coast, 11 states have partnered to created the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, a similar market-based program designed to lower emissions.
“If the EPA doesn’t have this authority, then that certainly doesn’t preempt states from going ahead,” said Cary Coglianese, a law professor at the University of Pennsylvania focused on regulation.
But, he noted, the problem is that climate change is a global problem and mixed state efforts aren’t going to be enough to make real progress.
Indeed, the states that produce the most coal and natural gas are mostly led by Republicans, and they have a mixed record on advancing policies that support clean energy.
West Virginia, a heavy coal-producing state, brought the challenge against the EPA. In 2020, the state got 88% of its electricity from coal, with renewables like hydropower and wind accounting for just 6%. The Legislature in 2015 repealed a state law that required a certain amount of power to come from renewable or alternative sources.
Wyoming, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Illinois and North Dakota produced the most coal among states in 2020, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Texas, Pennsylvania, Louisiana, Oklahoma and West Virginia are the top producers of natural gas.
Texas, Pennsylvania and Oklahoma are among states that have set modest renewable goals for electric utilities, but they haven't been updated in recent years to set stricter goals for the future. Still, Texas produces the most wind energy in the nation by far and Oklahoma comes in third, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. That's largely driven by market forces and unlikely to change in light of the EPA's ruling.
Dan Farber, faculty director of the Center for Law, Energy & the Environment at the University of California, Berkeley, said market forces that are making coal a less economically viable energy source and lowering the cost of wind and solar will likely continue to shape states' energy choices regardless of political ideology.
“If you talk about climate change there are a lot of places where that conversation is going to go nowhere," he said. “But if you talk about renewable energy and modernizing the energy system, there are a lot of red states where that has some traction."

- NZD/USD extends Monday’s recovery, takes the bids to refresh intraday high.
- China Caixin Services PMI jumped to 54.5 in June, versus 47.3 expected.
- Hopes of US-China trade peace, firmer Treasury yields underpin immediate bullish bias.
- RBA, risk catalysts and US Factory Orders can be watched for intraday directions.
NZD/USD justifies firmer China data and risk-on mood as buyers poke the monthly resistance around 0.6235 during Tuesday’s Asian session.
China’s Caixin Services PMI for June rallied past market consensus and previous readouts as it flashed 54.5 figure, compared to 47.3 forecasts and 41.4 prior.
In addition to upbeat activity data from the key customer China, risk-on mood and headlines concerning the Sino-American trade deal also appeared to have favored the NZD/USD buyers.
While portraying the mood, the US 10-year Treasury yields pick-up bids to regain 3.0% level up 1.70% intraday by the press time, whereas the S&P 500 Futures rise 0.40% by extending the previous two-day upside near 3,850.
Elsewhere, comments from Chinese Vice Premier Liu He suggests an improvement in the US-China ties, at least for now, which in turn favor the pair buyers due to New Zealand’s (NZ) dependence on Beijing. “The two agreed to need to strengthen communication & coordination of macroeconomic policies between China and the US,” said the macro update conveying telephonic talks between China’s Liu He and US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.
It should be noted, however, that the early Asian session release of NZIER Business Confidence and covid fears in China, not to forget the risk of economic slowdown, probe the NZD/USD bulls. That said, NZIER Business Confidence slumped to the lowest levels since March 2020, to -65% versus -40% expected, during the second quarter (Q2) of 2022.
That said, NZD/USD traders need to pay attention to the Reserve Bank of Australia’s (RBA) monetary policy decision for immediate direction due to its close links with Australia. In a case where the RBA manages to please the bulls, the Kiwi pair can extend the latest rebound.
Following that, Factory Orders for May, expected 0.5% versus 0.3%, will be important to watch.
Above all, risk catalysts, as well as the pre-NFP sentiment, not to forget the full markets’ reaction to the recently firmer bond yields, will be crucial to track for clear directions.
Technical analysis
A one-month-old descending trend line resistance near 0.6235 challenges immediate NZD/USD upside ahead of the mid-June swing high near 0.6300. Until then, the downward trajectory towards refreshing the multi-month low marked the last week, near 0.6145, can’t be ruled out. It’s worth noting that the RSI and MACD conditions recently favored the bulls.

HIGHLAND PARK, Ill. — A gunman on a rooftop opened fire on an Independence Day parade in suburban Chicago on Monday, killing at least six people, wounding at least 30 and sending hundreds of marchers, parents with strollers and children on bicycles fleeing in terror, police said.
Authorities said a 22-year-old man named as a person of interest in the shooting was taken into police custody Monday evening after an hourslong manhunt.
The July 4 shooting was just the latest to shatter the rituals of American life. Schools, churches, grocery stores and now community parades have all become killing grounds in recent months. This time, the bloodshed came as the nation tried to find cause to celebrate its founding and the bonds that still hold it together.
"It is devastating that a celebration of America was ripped apart by our uniquely American plague,” Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker said at a news conference.
“I’m furious because it does not have to be this way... while we celebrate the Fourth of July just once a year, mass shootings have become a weekly — yes, weekly — American tradition."
The shooting occurred at a spot on the parade route where many residents had staked out prime viewing points early in the day for the annual celebration. Dozens of fired bullets sent hundreds of parade-goers — some visibly bloodied — fleeing. They left a trail of abandoned items that showed everyday life suddenly, violently disrupted: A half-eaten bag of potato chips; a box of chocolate cookies spilled onto the grass; a child’s Chicago Cubs cap.
“There’s no safe place,” said Highland Park resident Barbara Harte, 73, who had stayed away from the parade fearing a mass shooting, but later ventured from her home.
Highland Park Police Chief Lou Jogmen said a police officer pulled over 22-year-old Robert E. Crimo III about five miles north of the shooting scene, several hours after police released the man's photo and an image of his silver Honda Fit, and warned the public that he was likely armed and dangerous.
Police declined to immediately identify Crimo as a suspect but said identifying him as a person of interest, sharing his name and other information publicly was a serious step.
Lake County Major Crime Task Force spokesman Christopher Covelli said at a news conference “several of the deceased victims” died at the scene and one was taken to a hospital and died there. Police have not released details about the victims or wounded.
Lake County Coroner Jennifer Banek said the five people killed at the parade were adults, but didn’t have information on the sixth victim who was taken to a hospital and died there. One of those killed was a Mexican national, Roberto Velasco, Mexico’s director for North American affairs, said on Twitter Monday. He said two other Mexicans were wounded.
NorthShore University Health Center received 26 patients after the attack. All but one had gunshot wounds, said Dr. Brigham Temple, medical director of emergency preparedness. Their ages ranged from 8 to 85, and Temple estimated that four or five patients were children.
Temple said 19 of them were treated and discharged. Others were transferred to other hospitals, while two patients, in stable condition, remained at the Highland Park hospital.
The shooter opened fire around 10:15 a.m., when the parade was about three-quarters through, authorities said.
Highland Park Police Commander Chris O’Neill, the incident commander on scene, said the gunman apparently used a “high-powered rifle” to fire from a spot atop a commercial building where he was “very difficult to see.” He said the rifle was recovered at the scene. Police also found a ladder attached to the building.
“Very random, very intentional and a very sad day,” Covelli said.
President Joe Biden on Monday said he and first lady Jill Biden were “shocked by the senseless gun violence that has yet again brought grief to an American community on this Independence Day.” He said he had “surged Federal law enforcement to assist in the urgent search for the shooter, who remains at large at this time.”
Biden signed the widest-ranging gun violence bill passed by Congress in decades, a compromise that showed at once both progress on a long-intractable issue and the deep-seated partisan divide that persists.
Video shot by a Sun-Times journalist after the gunfire rang out shows a band on a float continuing to play as people run past, screaming. A photo posted to social media appeared to show pools of blood near upturned chairs in downtown Highland Park.
Several nearby cities canceled events including parades and fireworks, some of them noting that the Highland Park shooter was still at large. Evanston, Deerfield, Skokie, Waukegan and Glencoe canceled events. The Chicago White Sox also announced on Twitter that a planned post-game fireworks show is canceled due to the shooting.
More than 100 law enforcement officers were called to the parade scene or dispatched to find the suspected shooter.
More than a dozen police officers on Monday evening surrounded a home listed as an address for Crimo in Highland Park. Some officers held rifles as they fixed their eyes on the home. A large armored truck, marked “Police Rescue Vehicle,” occupied the middle of the road near the residence. Police blockaded roads leading to the home in a tree-lined neighborhood near a golf course, allowing only select law enforcement cars through a tight outer perimeter.
Highland Park is a close-knit community of about 30,000 people located on the shores of Lake Michigan just north of Chicago, with mansions and sprawling lakeside estates that have long drawn the rich and sometimes famous, including NBA legend Michael Jordan, who lived in the city for years when he played for the Chicago Bulls. John Hughes filmed parts of several movies in the city, including “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” “Sixteen Candles” and “Weird Science.”
Pritzker, a Democrat, promised support for the community as well as to bring gunman to justice.
“There are no words for the kind of evil that shows up at a public celebration of freedom, hides on a roof and shoots innocent people with an assault rifle,” Pritzker said.
Ominous signs of a joyous event suddenly turned to horror filled both sides of Central Avenue where the shooting occurred. Dozens of baby strollers — some bearing American flags, abandoned children’s bikes and a helmet bedecked with images of Cinderella were left behind. Blankets, lawn chairs, coffees and water bottles were knocked over as people fled.
Gina Troiani and her son were lined up with his daycare class ready to walk onto the parade route when she heard a loud sound that she believed was fireworks — until she heard people yell about a shooter. In a video that Troiani shot on her phone, some of the kids are visibly startled at the loud noise, and they scramble to the side of the road as a siren wails nearby.
“We just start running in the opposite direction,” she told The Associated Press.
Her 5-year-old son was riding his bike decorated with red and blue curled ribbons. He and other children in the group held small American flags. The city said on its website that the festivities were to include a children’s bike and pet parade.
Troiani said she pushed her son’s bike, running through the neighborhood to get back to their car.
"It was just sort of chaos,” she said. “There were people that got separated from their families, looking for them. Others just dropped their wagons, grabbed their kids and started running.”
Debbie Glickman, a Highland Park resident, said she was on a parade float with coworkers and the group was preparing to turn onto the main route when she saw people running from the area.
“People started saying: ‘There’s a shooter, there’s a shooter, there's a shooter,’” Glickman told the AP. “So we just ran. We just ran. It’s like mass chaos down there.”
She didn’t hear any noises or see anyone who appeared to be injured.
“I’m so freaked out,” she said. “It’s just so sad.”

Bloomberg reported early Tuesday, citing unidentified people familiar with the deliberations, President Joe Biden is set to roll back some US tariffs on Chinese consumer goods as soon as this week.
Key takeaways
The Biden Administration will also conduct a new probe into industrial subsidies that could lead to more duties in strategic areas like technology.
The president in recent weeks held a number of meetings with senior economic advisers where options for a decision on the Trump-era tariffs were discussed.
Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) previously reported a decision could come as soon as this week.
Market reaction
Risk sentiment remains underpinned by hopes of an imminent withdrawal of US tariffs on Chinese goods, as political pressure in America heightens amid raging inflation.
Commodities and high-beta currencies cheered the US-Sino trade optimism, with AUD/USD advancing 0.35% on the day to 0.6890 ahead of the critical RBA rate hike decision.
S&P 500 futures is up 0.90% so far at 3,845 while the Asian stocks trade firmer, led by the 1% rally in the Japanese Nikkei 225 index.

NEW YORK — Frankfurter-munching phenom Joey “Jaws” Chestnut gobbled his way to a 15th win Monday at the Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July hot dog eating contest, powering down 63 hot dogs and buns at the annual exhibition of excess.
In a decisive chowdown comeback, women's record-holder Miki Sudo downed 40 wieners and buns to win the women's title after skipping last year's frank fest because she was pregnant.
A spectator wearing a Darth Vader mask rushed the stage, momentarily disrupting the competition. Chestnut put the protester in a brief chokehold before contest officials hurried over and escorted the intruder away.
Another protester in a white stormtrooper mask had also snuck behind the competitors and hoisted a sign saying, “Expose Smithfield's Deathstar.” Smithfield manufactures Nathan's famous hotdogs.
After the altercation, Chestnut went back to the task at hand: Devouring more hot dogs.
Monday also marked the contest's return to its traditional location outside Nathan’s flagship shop in Brooklyn’s Coney Island neighborhood. The event was relocated in 2020 and last year because of the coronavirus pandemic.
“It’s beautiful to be back here” in front of a throng of spectators, Chestnut told ESPN after his feat, which the 38-year-old managed while wearing a surgical boot because of a leg injury.
“It hurts, but I was in the zone for a little bit. I was ignoring it,” said Chestnut, but the pain eventually slowed his pace in the 10-minute competition.
Last year, the Westfield, Indiana, resident topped his own record by consuming 76 franks and buns.
Sudo, of Tampa, Florida, set the women’s record at 48 1/2 weiners and buns in 2020, before taking last year off while expecting. She and Nick Wehry — a fellow competitive eater whom she met through the Nathan’s contest in 2018 — welcomed son Max on July 8, 2021.
From dad's arms, the baby watched his 36-year-old mother notch her eighth Nathan's win. She told ESPN afterward that she hoped he would someday take a message away from it.
“I want to set an example,” she said, “to do things that you love and push yourself to your absolute limits and, when things get difficult, to still give it a try. And, you know, you might actually just come out victorious.”
Sudo then took over parenting duties while Wehry tried for the men's title.
In conjunction with the spectacle, Nathan’s donates 100,000 franks to the Food Bank for New York City.

- The 4-hour structure in USD/CAD has been broken at the start of this week.
- There is an emphasis on the downside for the sessions ahead.
CAD is benefitting from a risk-on environment and is sinking USD/CAD away from a key resistance area on the daily and 4-hour time frames. The following illustrates the bearish bias based on the daily chart's M-formation's neckline resistance and the break of structure on the 4-hour chart:
USD/CAD daily chart
USD/CAD bears have moved in following a retest of the neckline and given the break of horizontal support and fresh lows made at the start of the week, there is a bias towards the price imbalances of the prior bullish impulse. The 50% mean reversion level has confluence in this regard and is a compelling target on the daily chart near 1.2800.
USD/CAD H4 chart
The 4-hour structure has been broken in the move lower this week which leaves the emphasis on the downside.

WASHINGTON — U.S. officials have concluded that the bullet that killed veteran Al Jazeera reporter Shireen Abu Akleh was likely fired from an Israeli position. But they say it is too badly damaged to reach an absolute determination, and that there is “no reason to believe” she was deliberately targeted.
State Department spokesman Ned Price, announcing the results of the probe, said “independent, third-party examiners” had undertaken an “extremely detailed forensic analysis” of the bullet that killed her after the Palestinian Authority handed it over to them.
Abu Akleh, a veteran Palestinian-American correspondent who was well known throughout the Arab world, was shot and killed while covering an Israeli military raid on May 11 in the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank. Palestinian eyewitnesses, including her crew, say Israeli troops killed her and that there were no militants in the immediate vicinity.
Israel says she was killed during a complex battle with Palestinian militants and that only a forensic analysis of the bullet would confirm whether it was fired by an Israeli soldier or a Palestinian militant. It has strongly denied she was deliberately targeted, but says an Israeli soldier may have hit her by mistake during an exchange of fire with a militant.
U.S. security officials examined the results of separate Palestinian and Israeli investigations and “concluded that gunfire from IDF positions was likely responsible for the death of Shireen Abu Akleh,” Price said in a statement.
The U.S. “found no reason to believe that this was intentional but rather the result of tragic circumstances during an IDF-led military operation against factions of Palestinian Islamic Jihad,” Price said.
The Israeli military presented the findings as part of its own investigation in a statement that was likely to anger the Palestinian Authority, which had adamantly rejected any Israeli role in the probe and refused to share the bullet with Israeli authorities.
The PA handed the bullet over to U.S. officials over the weekend while insisting it was still opposed to any cooperation with Israel.
The Israeli military said that while the bullet remained in the custody of U.S. officials throughout the process, it was examined by Israeli experts in a forensic laboratory in Israel.
Lt. Gen. Aviv Kohavi, the army chief of staff, ordered the investigation be continued “using all available means,” the military said in a statement. It said any decision on whether to launch criminal investigation would only be made after the operational investigation is completed.
Defense Minister Benny Gantz issued a similar statement, saying “unfortunately, it is not possible to determine the source of the shooting — and as such, the investigation will continue.” His statement did not include any details about who analyzed the bullet.
U.S. officials said a third-party expert, neither Israeli nor Palestinian, examined the fragment as part of the U.S. review, and that it remained in U.S. possession throughout the review.
The Palestinian Authority and Al Jazeera accused Israeli forces of deliberately targeting Abu Akleh within hours of her death.
Ahmad Majdalani, a senior Palestinian official, reiterated that Israel was to blame for her death and said the American announcement was “tantamount to an evasion from determining Israel’s responsibility.” There was no immediate comment from Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
An Associated Press reconstruction of her killing lent support to accounts by Palestinian eyewitnesses, including her crew, that she was killed by Israeli forces. Subsequent investigations by CNN, the New York Times and the Washington Post reached similar conclusions.

In recent trade today, the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) set the yuan (CNY) at 6.6986 vs. the previous fix of 6.7071 and the prior close of 6.6988.
About the fix
China maintains strict control of the yuan’s rate on the mainland.
The onshore yuan (CNY) differs from the offshore one (CNH) in trading restrictions, this last one is not as tightly controlled.
Each morning, the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) sets a so-called daily midpoint fix, based on the yuan’s previous day's closing level and quotations taken from the inter-bank dealer.

WASHINGTON — The nation was shaken once again on Monday following a deadly mass shooting at a Fourth of July parade in suburban Chicago. At least 6 people were killed and at least 30 were wounded.
Police say hundreds of marchers, parents with strollers and children on bicycles fled in terror when a gunman on a rooftop opened fire on the Highland Park parade.
Who is the July 4 parade shooting 'person of interest'?
Highland Park Police Chief Lou Jogmen said Monday afternoon that police had identified 22-year-old Robert "Bobby" E. Crimo III as a person of interest. Police declined to answer questions about how they identified Crimo.
More than a dozen police officers on Monday evening surrounded a home listed as an address for Crimo in Highland Park. Some officers held rifles as they fixed their eyes on the home. An armored vehicle was also parked in the middle of the road.
Around 7:30 p.m. Eastern, authorities announced Crimo was taken into custody after a North Chicago police officer spotted him. While there was a brief police chase, Highland Park authorities said he was eventually taken into custody without incident.
During a press conference announcing Crimo had been taken into custody Monday evening, authorities said they believed he was solely responsible for the mass shooting at the parade.
An FBI wanted poster described his tattoos as including "four tally marks with a line through them on his right cheek, red roses and green leaves on his neck, and cursive script above his left eyebrow."
The FBI poster also noted he has ties in Illinois to Rockford, DeKalb and Elgin
What happened in Highland Park?
The shooting occurred at a spot on the parade route where many residents had staked out prime viewing points early in the day for the annual celebration. Dozens of fired bullets sent hundreds of parade-goers — some visibly bloodied — fleeing. They left a trail of abandoned items that showed everyday life suddenly, violently disrupted: A half-eaten bag of potato chips; a box of chocolate cookies spilled onto the grass; a child’s Chicago Cubs cap.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

A food stylist assistant, recipe tester and developer (we know, it sounds like a dream job to us too) and private caterer, Kathryn Bruton also manages to (somehow) find the time to run food blog The Lazy Baker.
Filled with delicious recipes and equally appealing pictures, Kathryn even creates videos to go alongside her recipes to make your cooking experience as easy and enjoyable as possible.
We sat down with the passionate cook to find out where she gets her recipe inspiration from and what a food stylist keeps in their fridge…
What do you hope people will take away from your blog?
I like to create recipes which are packed full of flavour, easy to create, visually beautiful and which are also healthy. When writing recipes, I aim to give as much detail as I can without overwhelming the reader with information, but at the same time, making them feel confident and assured when it comes to cooking in the kitchen. Video demonstrations on my blog help to bring a recipe to life. The most important thing is to create a recipe which gives my readers great results and great food.
Which 5 things would we find in your fridge?
As I work with food everyday (food styling), I often have my main meals throughout the day, as we eat on shoot. So my fridge is set up for quite basic needs - I often crave simple, easy, healthy and straightforward meals and snacks outside of work. I have two drawers in my fridge, always full of fruit and vegetables. I have natural yogurt with fruit for breakfast everyday (usually teamed with muesli or porridge). Eggs are the perfect, amazingly versatile fast food, and will always have a place in my fridge. Avocados are one of my favourite things to eat right now, and I couldn't live without hummus. I make my own, flavoring it with herbs, and vegetables to mix it up a little.
What’s your personal food philosophy?
Balance. Everything in good measure is the most sustainable food habit. I have always lived by the philosophy of eating well, enjoying a little indulgence, and making exercise a part of my day to day life. All of the above have their own individual feel good factors, and are all good for body, mind and soul.
What’s your top cooking tip?
Read a recipe twice before you cook it and get all of your ingredients ready before you start. You will be amazed the difference this will make to how much you enjoy the process of cooking. And as for recipes, they are a guide as much as a process - trust your palate. Don’t be afraid to add your personality to a recipe and do it your way - once you follow the fundamentals the rest is open to interpretation. Any mistakes you make you will learn from and you will become a better cook. Most of all, enjoy it. Nothing beats the feeling of creating something great in the kitchen.
Where do you get your recipe ideas from?
For me, a recipe idea will always begin with flavour. I will suddenly be struck by an idea for a combination for flavour and the recipe will evolve form that. Inspiration can come from anywhere - books, magazines, television, my work, nature. Just this week I have been picking blackberries from the hedges in the countryside, and my mind is awash with what I can do with them. Recipe ideas are a never ending stream of consciousness. The creative process behind creating a recipe is what drives my passion and love for what I do.

BOISE, Idaho — July in Idaho may be the hottest month of the year, but it is also the time of year when Idaho is farthest from the sun, an astronomical event called aphelion.
On average, the earth is about 93 million miles from the sun, but the earth's orbit around the sun is not a perfect circle. Instead, it is more of a slight ellipse.
As a result, the earth is nearly 1.5 million miles farther from the sun around July 4th at aphelion, and about 1.5 million miles closer to the sun around January 4th, which is called perihelion.
The change in distance from the sun, however, has no noticeable effect on temperatures. Aphelion happens to occur during the northern hemisphere summer, which averages about 2.3° C. warmer than the southern hemisphere, despite slightly less solar radiation due to the increased distance from the sun.
There are more large land masses in the northern hemisphere, which are easier to heat than the oceans.
Aphelion and perihelion do not have a noticeable effect on the earth's seasons, which change due to the tilt of the earth's axis.
Because the earth is farther from the sun at this time of year, the earth's orbital speed is slightly slower from the June solstice to the September equinox, and slightly faster from the December solstice to the March equinox when the earth is closest to the earth.
As a result, northern hemisphere summers are slightly longer (92 days) than southern hemisphere summers (90 days).

BOSTON — All of Ryan Lochte's Olympic silver and bronze medals are up for auction, with the proceeds going to a charity benefiting children.
The 37-year-old swimmer earned 12 medals over four Olympics, including six gold that he plans to keep for now.
“I’m not one to be all sentimental about medals,” Lochte told The Associated Press by phone Sunday from a Mexican vacation. “My medals are just sitting in my closet collecting dust. The memories that I have is what means the most.”
The medals are being sold in three lots by Boston-based RR Auction. The sale ends July 21.
The first lot is Lochte’s first individual Olympic medal, a silver in the 200-meter individual medley from the 2004 Athens Games in which Michael Phelps won gold. It has an estimate of $10,000 or more.
The second lot is a pair of bronze medals from the 2008 Beijing Games, in which Lochte finished third in the 200 IM and 400 IM. The estimate is $12,000 or more.
The third lot features three medals from the 2012 London Games. Lochte finished second in the 200 IM, second in the 4x100 freestyle relay, and third in the 200 backstroke. The estimate is $60,000 or more.
Bobby Livingston, executive vice president of RR Auction, said the medals were consigned by a person who received them from Lochte and wishes to remain anonymous.
“They’re in perfect condition. They have beautiful ribbons,” Livingston said. “Ryan’s are obviously extremely interesting to people who collect medals.”
Lochte confirmed he is not the direct seller.
“I gave them to a third party,” he said. “Everything we earn is going straight to the charity.”
Also for sale is a 14k white gold Olympic ring and a Breitling watch with black diamonds. Lochte bought both items for himself after the London Games.
His selected charity is Jorge Nation Foundation, a non-profit that raises money to send children with a terminal illness and their families on a dream trip from South Florida to a destination of their choice. Lochte said he’s worked with the foundation for over 10 years. His agent is on its board of directors.
“This year I really wanted to focus on giving back. I’m loving it,” he said. “I’ve been teaming with my dad doing swim clinics and I’m coming out with my own sunscreen.”
During his career, Lochte routinely gave away his medals from national competitions to kids in the crowd.
Lochte hasn't competed at a major meet since last year's U.S. Olympic trials. He didn't make the team for Tokyo. Last month, he raced in an ocean swim in the Cayman Islands and finished 14th.
“One mile in the ocean is a lot different than in the pool,” he said. “I swear I thought I was going to have a heart attack.”
He's contemplating shedding some of his six golds in the future. He wants to keep his first individual gold from the 200 back in Beijing and another for his dad, Steve.
“Those medals mean a lot to me, I worked my (rear) off for them,” Lochte said, “but helping other people out is more important to me, especially because I have kids of my own."
Lochte's 12 medals are tied for second-most among swimmers, trailing only Phelps' Olympic record of 28.

HAVANA (AP) — There were some cheers for “The Star-Spangled Banner” before USA Basketball’s game in Cuba on Independence Day.
And then the Americans celebrated the holiday with a big win.
Xavier Munford scored 24 points and the U.S. defeated Cuba 87-64 on Monday night to close the first round of qualifying for next year’s Basketball World Cup — improving to 31-1 all-time against the island nation.
“It’s emotional to play on the Fourth of July," said Jim Boylen, who coached the U.S. in all three of the two-game windows in the opening qualifying round. “It’s emotional to be here with this group of guys, with USA across our chests. It’s a big day. Our country is 246 years old today and we’re just thankful for this moment together.”
Munford was 10 for 12 from the floor for the Americans, who got 13 points from Justin Jackson, 12 from John Jenkins — all from 3-point range — and 10 apiece from Will Davis and Langston Galloway.
“It’s July 4th. No better feeling than to get a win tonight,” Munford said.
Jordan Bell finished with eight rebounds and six assists for the Americans, whose spot in the second round of qualifying was previously secured. They’ll take a 5-1 record into the second round, well on their way to clinching a spot in the World Cup and moving a big step closer toward getting USA Basketball qualified for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Yoel Cubilla led Cuba (0-6) with 15 points.
The Americans will start the second round of World Cup qualifying on Aug. 25, with the expectation that the first matchup will be against Uruguay in Las Vegas. The U.S. will also play on Aug. 29, probably on the road and likely against Colombia, though FIBA has yet to confirm that as the matchup.
The two road wins on this trip — the Americans beat Puerto Rico on Friday — puts the U.S. in a prime position to qualify for the World Cup. The roster was primarily composed of G League players, as is always the case for the Americans in World Cup qualifying, and Boylen said this group came together quickly.
“We came together 11 days ago and our team was focused, our guys were great, we worked on the basics, we got better every day and I thought we played the right way,” Boylen said. “The ball moved, we grew together, and we cared for each other.”
The U.S. will be grouped with Brazil, Uruguay, Mexico, Puerto Rico and Colombia in the second round. Also grouped from the Americas region will be Venezuela, Argentina, Panama, Canada, the Dominican Republic and the Bahamas.
Both of those groups will send three teams to the World Cup; the best fourth-place team from either of those groups will also go, with the Americas region sending seven teams to the tournament that will be played in the summer of 2023 in the Philippines, Japan and Indonesia.
Cuba led 16-14 after the first quarter Monday night. That is, until the Americans scored 14 points in the first 2:19 of the second quarter.
“We lost the first quarter, but I thought the second quarter, we responded,” Boylen said.
A 3-pointer by Jackson opened the second quarter, put the U.S. ahead for good, and the Americans were off and running. The lead was 49-32 early in the third — ending what was a 35-16 run by the U.S. — and the Americans remained ahead the rest of the way.
“The Cuba team was great," Munford said. “They came out with a great effort. They made us work for it. They had strong guys. We played well tonight. We executed, took care of the ball, ran our offense and played USA style of basketball."

MONTERREY, Mexico (AP) — Alex Morgan scored a pair of first-half goals and the U.S. women's national team defeated Haiti 3-0 on Monday night in the opening match of the CONCACAF W Championship.
The tournament determines the region's four direct berths in the 2023 Women's World Cup, co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand.
Midge Purce also scored for the United States, which has won the past two World Cups.
Morgan opened scoring for the U.S. in the 16th minute with a heel flick off a pass from Mallory Pugh that got past Haiti goalkeeper Lara Larco.
Morgan's second goal came on a header in the 23rd minute.
Haiti was awarded a penalty in the 42nd but Roselord Borgella's attempt hit the post and caromed away. Borgella was handed a red card in the 45th, but video review rescinded the call and she was given a yellow.
The United States appeared to score on an own goal in the 78th, but Megan Rapinoe was ruled offside. Purce scored her fourth international goal in the 84th.
U.S. coach Vlatko Andonovski praised Morgan and said he was pleased with the result, although there's things to work on before the Americans face Jamaica on Thursday.
“On the other side, we gave up a lot of opportunities, gave up a penalty kick. That’s something we’re going to have to do better and tie up a few things for the next game,” Andonovski said.
Eight teams are split into two groups for the W Championship. The top two finishers in each group earn World Cup berths. The third place finishers in each group advance to a 10-team intercontinental playoff, to be held in New Zealand in February.
The winner of the W Championship also earns a spot in the 2024 Olympics.
Haiti has never qualified for a World Cup or an Olympics. In addition to the United States and Haiti, the group includes Jamaica and Mexico.
Canada, Costa Rica, Panama and Trinidad & Tobago are in the other group.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Brandon Nimmo and Francisco Lindor homered, helping the New York Mets beat the lowly Cincinnati Reds 7-4 on Monday night.
Taijuan Walker (7-2) struck out nine in six innings as NL East-leading New York earned its second straight win after a stretch of four losses in five games. The Mets improved to 50-30, and ace right-hander Max Scherzer returns Tuesday night after being sidelined by a strained left oblique muscle.
Nick Senzel and Brandon Drury homered for last-place Cincinnati, which lost for the fifth time in six games.
The Mets got some good swings against hard-throwing rookie Hunter Greene.
Nimmo hit a towering three-run drive in the second. The Mets are 39-9 this season when scoring first.
In the third, Drury drove an 0-1 pitch from Walker deep to right for a tying three-run shot. The opposite-field homer was Drury's career-best 17th. He was with the Mets last season, but only had 84 at-bats.
Lindor put the Mets ahead with his 14th homer, a solo drive on a 99-mph pitch from Greene in the fifth. It was the major league-leading 22nd homer allowed by Greene (3-10) this season.
Dominic Smith's two-run double off Reiver Sanmartin in the sixth handed the Mets a three-run cushion.
Walker was charged with three runs and four hits. Seth Lugo pitched the ninth for his third save.
It was win No. 1,601 for Mets manager Buck Showalter. He is one victory shy of Fred Clarke for 21st on the career list.
TRAINERS ROOM
Mets: RHP Jacob deGrom (stress reaction in right scapula) is slated to make his second minor league rehab start on Friday. He is not expected to return to the Mets' rotation until after the All-Star break. ... LHP David Peterson is expected to come off the paternity list to start Wednesday's series finale in Cincinnati.
Reds: RHP Art Warren was placed on the IL with a right flexor pronator strain. C Mark Kolozsvary was recalled. ... C Tyler Stephenson began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Louisville and caught five innings while going 1 for 2 at the plate. Stephenson broke his right thumb June 9 on a foul tip.
UP NEXT
Scherzer (5-1, 2.54 ERA) makes his first start for the Mets since leaving his outing on May 18 against St. Louis with a right oblique strain. Scherzer's 1.84 ERA against the Reds is tied for the ninth-lowest mark among all pitchers with at least 50 innings pitched against an opponent. Reds rookie LHP Nick Lodolo (1-2, 5.52 ERA) starts for the first time since suffering a lower back strain in April.

When she’s not working as a junior lawyer at a big firm in Manhattan, Cynthia can be found posting delicious recipes and beautiful imagery on her food blog Two Red Bowls. Here you can expect dreamy dishes, such as brownies with peanut butter swirl and matcha green tea shortbread cookies, and mouthwatering meals like Japchae and Beef Bulgogi.
We spoke to the food blogger about her food philosophy and where she gets the inspiration for her appealing recipes…
What do you hope people will take away from your blog?
Hopefully the excitement to get in the kitchen or a rumbly stomach! If they leave with a recipe they want to make, or just a hankering for some good food, either one is a dream come true.
Which 5 things would we find in your fridge?
Eggs, scallions, ginger, garlic, and something sweet and half-finished. (Right now, a bag of chocolate chips I meant to bake with... and just ate instead.)
What’s your personal food philosophy?
Hmm. Probably that food is something to be enjoyed and celebrated. I feel like food sometimes becomes a neurotic thing - where we focus on boundaries and limits - what we can't eat and what we shouldn't eat, rather than what we can. Which is such a sad thing, because food is so precious, and the luxury of choice isn't available to everyone. What's so beautiful about the food blog world, I think, is that it so readily demonstrates that regardless of your dietary restrictions or your choice of diet, you can create delicious, nourishing food that's worth savoring to the last bite.
What’s your top cooking tip?
Adjust to taste! (Except for in baking... that doesn't always end well.)
Where do you get your recipe ideas from?
Everywhere! Sometimes it's a dish at a restaurant I want to recreate at home. Other times, it's something my mother or my future mother-in-law, who are both phenomenal cooks, taught me how to make. The seasons are probably my newest source of inspiration - paying attention to what's in season, what's ripest, and which holidays are around the corner is always a great way to come up with something delicious.

If hefty price tags and confusing mantras have thus far discouraged you from adopting healthier habits, you’ve come to the right place. More than anything here at GTG we believe eating a happy, healthy diet doesn’t have to cost a fortune or be overly complicated. All it takes is a sprinkle of savvy shopping, a dash of preparation and a glug of good spirit.
So, enabling you to have your (low-fat) cake and eat it, here are five top tips on how to whittle down your waistline while widening your wallet.
1. Organisation
It sounds simple but a lot can be said for having a little structure when planning a healthy week ahead. By organising a clear evening menu plan for the week it’s much easier to identify exactly what ingredients need to be bought - this not only helps you keep to a tighter, more streamlined budget but also prevents you from veering off and buying excess (and often unhealthy) items when perusing the aisles.
The practical prepping doesn’t have to end with dinners. Countless nutritionists and fitness experts, including The Body Coach Joe Wicks , promote the benefits of spending an hour or two on a sunday night cooking up lunches for the following week. It may seem like a lot effort, but believe us, it’s a tried and tested measure of ensuring you stay on a healthy eating regime - not to mention an arm and a leg cheaper than eating out everyday. When in doubt, simply remember that “failing to plan is planning to fail”.

2. Practical pulses
Pulses, sometimes referred to as a ‘grain legumes’, are a super cheap (1 pack of lentils is £1.50), low-fat source of protein, are jam-packed with fibre, vitamins and minerals and even count towards one of your five a day. Typically an edible seed in a pod, they include all types of beans, lentils and peas and can make great wholesome food substitutions.
In particular, their filling and often comforting consistency make them an ideal switch for carbohydrates such as pasta or potatoes. Their high protein content also means they can be a healthy choice for meat-eaters. Add pulses such as kidney beans or quinoa to soups, casseroles and meat sauces to add extra texture and flavour - this in turn means you can use less meat, which makes the dish lower in fat and even cheaper.

3. Freezer friends
While a punnet of fresh berries or a bag of fresh salad can make a delicious and nutritious addition to any snack or meal, they often come with a pretty hefty price tag and an extremely short shelf life. So, to make sure your getting in all the goodness while still getting a bang for your buck why not try investing in some bags of frozen fruit and veg - this way you always have a bag of greens or berries on hand that you can simply toss in at the end of a stir-fry dish or into your morning breakfast smoothie. Not to mention if the fruit and veg is frozen when fresh, it can often contain greater levels of nutrients than fresher options. Super cheap and lasting for months - what’s not to love?
4. Spice up your life
Another great option that allows you to cut down on calories while also streamlining your spending is to introduce a range of condiments into your cooking. Aim to keep a selection of dried herbs, spices, curry powder, marinades, vinegars, tomato and soy sauces, along with stock cubes in your cupboard and add them to dishes instead of salt - not only will they help to enhance the flavour, colour and vitality of your meals, but a lot of these items also contain powerful health benefits and will help cut down on the excess sodium, fat and cholesterol of regular dishes. In particular, spices such as turmeric, cayenne pepper and ginger have been proven to contain powerful anti-oxidants as well as also having antibacterial, antiviral and heart-health properties.
5. Tools of the trade
While investing in cooking utensils may come with an initial (sometimes painful) price tag, it’s a one-off purchase and use of these little gadgets can be hugely helpful in helping you whip up your favourite cheap and healthy dishes time and time again. Here’s my top three recommendations:
Hand blender, £18.99
The cheaper alternative to a full-sized mixer, hand blenders are an invaluable kitchen item that help you to create everything from soups and smoothies to curry pastes and dips. Simply shove your ingredients in a bowl, blend et voilà! Three days work of butternut squash soup in an instant. Buy online here .
Hemsley & Hemsley Spiralizer, £29.95
Turning your favourite seasonal vegetables into spirals in just a few minutes, this recently released spiralizer by fashionable foodie sisters, the Hemsley’s, is a great tool. Useful for packing meals full of nutrient rich vegetables, spiralized veggies can be enjoyed raw and served crunchy, or softened as they are tossed through a hot sauce or marinated in a dressing. In particular, we love substituting in courgette for a cheap and cheerful take on spaghetti bolognese. Buy online here .
Steamer, £18.74
Ideal for cooking vegetables without adding oil, steamers also help to retain more of the nutrients and antioxidants than boiling or frying does - it can also be used to steam fish too. Simply place veg inside, boil water underneath and crisp, al dente vegetables are ready within minutes. Buy online here .

Russell Bateman - the supermodel trainer of choice - last week posted to his 50k Instagram following an upcoming collaboration with Raw Press juices. The SBC juice of choice? A coconut water and charcoal concoction. And last Wednesday when GTG’s resident nutritionist Amelia Freer launched her first book Eat, Nourish, Glow, what flavour juice did she serve? Yes, you guessed it: charcoal.
Using charcoal for its health properties is not a new concept; people have been using charcoal for thousands of years for its detoxifying qualities. The science behind its power is that charcoal chemically binds other substances to its surface and can absorb thousands of times its own weight.
Its incredibly large surface area means that it can absorb toxins and it has been used over centuries to cure a wide range of health issues, from counteracting poisons to whitening teeth and treating skin conditions. Once reserved for the dusty back aisles of health food stores, the humble charcoal tablet has had a glamorous rebrand and juices containing the dark stuff have been spotted lining fridges in the likes of Bond Street’s Fenwicks and Soho’s The Juice Well.
MORE GLOSS: Russell Bateman's food diary
So why should we be drinking it? Christophe Reissfelder - a professional chef turned health food expert who founded one of the first cold pressed juice companies to pioneer charcoal drinks, Botanic Lab - commented: “Activated charcoal is a highly absorbent material with millions of tiny pores that can capture, bind, and remove up to 100 times the charcoal’s weight in toxins.” Reissfelder confirms that: “Regular use of activated charcoal is easy on the colon and can remove unwanted toxins from your body, leaving you feeling renewed and more vibrant, often in minutes.”
Jenna Zoe - nutritionist and GTG expert - has also given charcoal her stamp of approval. Jenna comments: “Many people are now using charcoal to help clean their systems from the pitfalls of a modern lifestyle, no matter how healthy their diets already are. We're all exposed to things like pollution, inner stress, beauty products and household cleaning products, so it never hurts to give our bodies a helping hand.”
The science seems convincing, but how easy is the drink to stomach? We tried both Botanic Lab and Raw Press’ offerings and were pleasantly surprised. Once you get over the odd colour - there's something slightly unnatural about drinking a black liquid - the drink is really tasty without any hint of a charcoal flavour. Botanic Lab's Charcoal drink could be described as a sweet still lemonade, and the Raw Press SBC Elixir is akin to a hardcore coconut water.
Our verdict? Black may well be the new green.

We take many TikTok trends with a pinch of salt ( lipstick as blusher , we're looking at you) but chlorophyll could just be an exception. The chlorophyll hashtag has had almost a 140million views on the platform with users hailing its potential to help everything from acne, regulating periods, to weight loss, banishing B.O. as well as reducing inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema. The trend has translated into real life too; online pharmacy Victoria Health saw surge in sales, leading to a sell-out of World Organics Ultra Concentrated Liquid Chlorophyll , £24 for 59ml, at the weekend.
Liquid chlorophyll is going viral as the latest wellness must-have for weight loss, clear skin and banishing B.O. Should really spike your water with the green supplement?
@pullingraviity The wink was to distract you from the spill. Did it work? #skincare101 #chlorophyll #acnehelp #hormonalacne #glowyskin #healthylifestyle #clearskin
♬ heavy in my mind - Jurk
What is chlorophyll?
Chlorophyll as a liquid supplement comes in drop form that turns your water a deep green; it's the molecule that makes nature green. Plants need chlorophyll for photosynthesis - to absorb energy from the sun to make their own food. This oxygenating good guy keeps the plant world lush and ticking over. You’ve been told to tuck into your greens for yonks, and for good reason, but how about supplementing your diet with chlorophyll?
As well as chugging chlorophyll as drops in your water, you can take it in tiny pills or smoothie powders derived from chlorella and spirulina which are both algae. Advocates claim they can pull heavy metals out of the body and work as a deep cleansing agent in the body. Pharmacist and co-founder of Victoria Health Shabir Daya explains: "Chlorophyll has the ability to detoxify the body of numerous types of toxins including heavy metals from environmental pollution."
So far, so vaguely virtuous, but with equally spurious selling points including its 'alkalinizing effects' according to Gwyneth Paltrow's wellness site Goop , rumoured capacity to enable weight loss and even potential to cure herpes and slow the growth of cancer cells, you could be forgiven for forking out for litres of liquid chlorophyll and swimming in the stuff.
The thing is, while plants containing chlorophyll are without doubt beneficial to your health, it’s certainly not the chlorophyll content alone that has a protective effect - antioxidants, phytonutrients and fibre all weigh in.
Chlorophyll isn’t a nutrient in itself and while the likes of chlorophyll-containing chlorella are indeed rich in protein and all-important vitamins C and B, there aren't any human studies relating specifically to chlorella’s abundant chlorophyll content.
It’s interesting to note that after World War Two, chlorella in particular was considered as a potential food source due to its high protein, vitamin and mineral content, plus its rapid growth rate.
Here are the experts' insights into the chlorophyll buzz to help you decide for yourself whether or not to invest in more green goo.
View this post on Instagram
Chlorophyll for B.O. and bad breath
This claim does seem to stack up. Water-soluble chlorophyll has been doing the rounds since the 1940s as a means to reduce bad breath and body odour. Shabir Daya explains why it’s been renowned for its freshening effect for so long.
“Chlorophyll is an excellent internal deodoriser. Instead of masking odours as deodorants do, chlorophyll appears to work by getting rid of the odour-causing compounds. Chlorophyll helps to relieve bad breath, body odour and perspiration odour effectively. In fact, there was even a well-known chewing gum which contained chlorophyll within the formulation," says Shabir.
What's better, liquid chlorophyll or powders and tablets?
Scientific studies are limited and observational so far, but if you did want to try it, Shabir recommends a liquid chlorophyll supplement over a tablet or powder, but also recommends that you seek medical advice before adding it into your diet.
Why is liquid chlorophyll better? "Tablets and capsules need to be broken down in order to extract the actives whereas the liquid supplements are there to be absorbed and utilised by the body so that is one step less in the digestive process," explains Shabir.
Chlorophyll as a source of magnesium
Some experts, such as Dr Andrew Weil MD , believe that chlorophyll could also be a good source of magnesium and Shabir supports this:
“At a molecular level, chlorophyll is almost identical to haemoglobin, the oxygen carrier in our blood which is why some people refer to it as the 'blood' of plants. The only difference between haemoglobin and chlorophyll is that haemoglobin has iron at the centre of the molecule whereas chlorophyll has magnesium.”
Given that 70 per cent of the adult population is thought to be deficient in magnesium , a mineral that’s essential for optimal bone health and to release energy from food, adding in a chlorophyll supplement could help in theory. But given that there are no recommended daily dosages or comprehensive scientific studies as yet, the jury’s still out.
To reassure you, chlorophyll is considered non-toxic, non-poisonous and is, of course, present in many of the foods we eat, which is why taking in a full nutritional profile of vitamins and minerals by way of dark green leafy veg may be far preferable to taking a chlorophyll supplement to boost your health.
Shabir also explains that the high level of magnesium in chlorophyll could also be why people online are saying it helps to regulate their periods. "I have not seen any evidence substantiating hormonal balance in the body however one thing is very clear, chlorophyll contains high levels of the energising mineral magnesium which is also required for the manufacture of hormones in the body," he says.
Chlorophyll for weight loss
Limited studies show that a chlorophyll supplement could promote weight loss and a decrease in 'bad' LDL cholesterol. In a small study of 38 overweight women in 2014, who added in a daily chlorophyll supplement to their weight loss plan, the group taking a chlorophyll supplement lost around three pounds more over 12 weeks than the control group and had lower levels of LDL cholesterol.
Chlorophyll as a source of vitamins
It’s interesting to note that after World War Two, chlorella in particular was considered as a potential food source due to its high protein, vitamin and mineral content, plus its rapid growth rate.
If you do get your chlorophyll hit via algae-derived supplements such as chlorella and spirulina, you will be getting a dose of the vitamins and antioxidants that they're also abundant in.
As part of a varied and balanced diet, chlorophyll heavy algae supplements could have their place, and limited research shows that chlorella could have a positive effect on the immune system in healthy people, but other research indicating that chlorella could inhibit the growth of cancer cells is based on animal studies and yet to be explored in humans. Until human studies become larger in terms of sample size and scope, many of the claims of chlorophyll-rich supplements simply can’t hold up.
Chlorophyll for IBS
Chlorophyll is also an excellent colon conditioner, which explains its frequent use with inflammatory bowel disorders such as IBS, colitis and diverticulitis, explains Shabir. "It helps to soothe and heal damaged and inflamed tissues in our intestines," he continues.
Chlorophyll for clear skin
TikTokers credit the green liquid with clearing their skin. Could it be true? According to Shabir any claims of clearer skin from taking chlorophyll will be down to the fact that it enhances liver detoxification processes, which will result in fewer toxins in the bloodstream and a clearer complexion. It could also be that they are drinking more water!
It’s also understood that chlorophyll supplements can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight, increasing the chance of skin damage when exposed to UV light. Great for plants, not so helpful for people in this case.
Who shouldn't take chlorophyll?
Chlorophyll supplements can interact with certain medications such as blood thinners, antidepressants, roaccutane , antibiotics and antihistamines. This is down to the large amounts of vitamin K often present in algae-derived chlorophyll supplements - all the more reason to check with a medical professional as Shabir advises before embarking on any kind of supplement programme.

Dr Michael Mosley's Clever Guts Diet is gaining in popularity, but if you're looking for new gut-boosting recipes you'll be keen to read GP Dr Clare Bailey's book, a follow-up written with nutritionist Joy Skipper. The Clever Guts Diet Recipe Book contains over 150 delicious recipes designed to maintain gut health, and we're glad to see that snacks are included. Try these easy flaxseed crackers to keep hunger pangs at bay during phase one...
Dr Bailey says: "Flaxseed is fast becoming another popular ‘super food’, packed as it is with protein, omega 3, vitamins and minerals. These crackers also contain lignans, which have strong antioxidant properties, and may help prevent some common cancers."
Makes about 20 crackers | Dairy-free | Gluten-free option | 80 calories per cracker
Ingredients
200g ground flaxseeds 50g sesame seeds
2 tbsp chia seeds
1 tsp Marmite (or 1 tbsp vegan yeast if you’re gluten-sensitive)
1⁄2 tsp Maldon sea salt
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 120°C/100°C fan/gas mark 1⁄2. Place the flaxseeds, sesame seeds and chia seeds in a bowl.
2. Dissolve the Marmite in 50ml boiling water, then add 100ml cold water. Pour it into the seed mixture and stir vigorously until you have a gloopy paste. If it is dry or crumbly, add a little more water. Leave it to firm up for about 10 minutes.
3. Spread the mixture on baking paper or a silicone baking sheet. Place another piece of baking paper on top and use a rolling pin to flatten it to approximately 3-4mm thickness. Remove the top piece of baking paper and lightly score the surface so the dough can be separated into 20 square crackers. Scatter the salt over it.
4. Bake the dough in the middle of the oven for 30- 40 minutes, until it is just starting to turn golden brown around the edges. Check it frequently, as it will taste bitter if you overcook it. Turn it over, then turn off the oven and leave it to dry out for at least 30 minutes. Once it has cooled, break it up into squares. The crackers will keep for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
Tip: if using vegan yeast, add it to the bowl with the seeds before adding the water.

Can a supplement a day keep the travel bugs away? If chosen wisely, they could provide a valuable helping hand for keeping your well-earned holiday illness-free.
That being said though, according to nutritional therapist Eve Kalinik maintaining a healthy diet all year round (not just in the summer run-up) is the best line of defence for side-stepping common holiday trip-ups - irrespective of the time of the year. “Really a healthy diet should be an ongoing long-term thing and not just specific to leading up to a holiday,” she says. “Generally having an abundance of vegetables, fruit in moderation, small servings of protein-rich grains such as quinoa and buckwheat (sprouted or soaked), organic grass-fed meat and wild fish, as well as regularly including fermented foods such as sauerkraut, kimchi, miso, kefir (dairy or non-dairy) will all support the immune system.”
With the right food making the best of travel-friendly foundations, the right supplements can then look to complement your pre-holiday prep perfectly. The best all-rounder? A probiotic. “A daily probiotic will keep things nicely ticking over and support the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut,” advises Eve. “Since 70% or more of our immune system is located in the gastro tract, you can see why this can influence how well we fight off potential pathogens.”
And to ensure results last from departure to arrival lounge and back again, try avoiding sugar as best you can - within reason of course (you are on holiday after all). “It’s normal and natural that when you are on holiday you might indulge a bit, but just be mindful not to go too overboard on the sugary treats as this can have a negative impact on the immune system, and feed some of the less friendly microorganisms,” explains Eve. “So enjoy that ice cream, just don’t go mad!”
From upset stomachs to sunburn to jet lag, here are Eve’s top supplement and health-boosting product picks for exterminating the peskiest of travel bugs.
1. Stomach upsets
“A good probiotic can help with this - my favourite is Symprove ,” recommends Eve. “Upping your beneficial microorganisms means your internal army is better equipped to deal with the bad bugs. Think of it as a kind of gut insurance policy when you are travelling.”
However, if an unlucky bout of unclean water or dodgy meat fells even the strongest of stomachs, all is not lost. “If you do have diarrhoea when you are away, it’s important to replenish minerals that might be lost,” says Eve. “ CellFood Concentrate Drops , £25, added to water is a gentle way to restore. Or you can use an electrolyte solution such as this one from Viridian .”

2. Constipation
On the other end of the suspect stomach spectrum, if things are in need of a little erm, loosening up, not to fret - you’re not alone. Long flights and changes in time zones can make for the most disorientating of situations - both on the inside and out. The solution? “Plenty of water FIRST,” advises Eve. “Often the cause of constipation can simply be dehydration - particularly if you are somewhere hot - and you may have overindulged on the cocktails. And then, you’ve guessed it….a probiotic!”
3. Sunburn
Tend to get more burned than bronzed? As well as a good sunscreen and regular re-application, what you put in your body can often prove extremely useful for boosting what you put on top of it. “A good fish oil such as Bare Biology Lion Heart , £47.50, can support anti-inflammatory processes and provide antioxidants that can help to negate free radicals created from too much sun exposure,” explains Eve. “Omega 3s also help to nourish cell membranes in general. But the most important thing is not to bake yourself in the midday sun. Avoid the 11am - 3pm window and always wear a good sunscreen - I like the Organic Pharmacy range which has a more natural-based formula. They also do a lovely after-sun too.
“You can also use some of the more nutrient dense powders around such as spirulina, baobab, cacao or acai to boost your antioxidant intake. Plenty of colourful veg will do that though too.”

4. Jet lag
If the bump back to reality proves pretty turbulent for you year after year, there are thankfully ways to make the journey all the more smooth and easier to navigate. Travel sick? Keep this handbag essential to hand: “I like de Mamiel Altitude Oil , £28,” says Eve. “Just a couple of drops on a hanky can help to reduce feelings of nausea. And make sure you are well hydrated.”
If jet lag never fails to play havoc with your body clock, kick it back into working order with the following sleep pattern pick-me-ups. “Try adding in a 5 HTP supplement such as Solaray L-5 HTP , £10.49,” recommends Eve. “It is derived from natural plant extracts to help regulate sleep (check for medical contraindications such as anti-depressants though), or you can use magnesium instead in the evening too - Wild Nutrition’s Food-Grown Magnesium . £16.50, is great.”
Disclaimer: certain supplements are used for different reasons and a one-size-fits-all approach should never be adopted. In addition, pregnant women and anyone on medication should always consult a doctor before embarking on a supplements programme.

Eighteen people were killed and 243 wounded during unrest in Uzbekistan's autonomous province of Karakalpakstan last week, Uzbek authorities said on Monday -- the worst bout of violence in the Central Asian nation in 17 years.
Security forces detained 516 people during the protests, which broke out over plans to curtail Karakalpakstan's autonomy, but have now released many of them, the National Guard press office told a briefing.
On Saturday, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev dropped plans to amend articles of the constitution concerning Karakalpakstan's sovereignty and its right to secede. He also declared a month-long state of emergency in the northwestern province.
Official reports said protesters had marched through the provincial capital Nukus last Friday and tried to seize local government buildings.
According to the prosecutor general's office, 18 people died "from grave wounds" sustained during the clashes. Russia's RIA news agency quoted the head of the National Guard as saying the toll comprised 14 civilians and four law enforcement officers.
Two exiled opposition politicians in contact with people on the ground told Reuters they believed the real figure was much higher. It was not possible to independently establish the death toll.
Karakalpakstan -- situated on the shores of the Aral Sea, for decades an environmental disaster site -- is home to the Karakalpaks, an ethnic minority group whose language is distinct from Uzbek, although related.
"Karakalpaks are not Uzbeks ... They have their own traditions, culture and law," Aman Sagidullayev, Norway-based leader of the pro-independence Alga Karakalpakstan party, told Reuters, accusing the government of waging a "punitive operation."
Muted reaction
A group of opposition politicians and activists who call themselves the government of Karakalpakstan in exile published an appeal to Mirziyoyev.
They called for the release of arrested demonstrators, the dissolution of the Karakalpak government and new elections, and a review of the actions of law enforcement agencies including "the unjustified and disproportionate use of force that led to human victims, torture and arbitrary detention".
They complained of discrimination against their language and the "silencing and distortion" of the region's history.
Russia, with which ex-Soviet Uzbekistan has close ties, said the matter was Uzbekistan's domestic affair. The Russian Foreign Ministry said it was confident that authorities there would succeed in normalizing the situation, and said issues should be solved by "legal means" rather than rioting.
The European Union called for "an open and independent investigation into the violent events in Karakalpakstan."
Mirziyoyev's office said he had discussed the matter with EU Council President Charles Michel, and that the unrest had been incited by "criminal elements".
An exiled Uzbek opposition politician, Pulat Ahunov, told Reuters that the curfew imposed for the duration of the state of emergency and tight security seemed to have stabilized the situation, but there was still a risk of ethnic clashes.
There are an estimated 700,000 Karakalpaks among Uzbekistan's 34 million people, most of them in the autonomous republic. Geographic and linguistic proximity has led many to seek work and sometimes relocate to neighboring Kazakhstan.
Some observers believe Tashkent's miscalculated attempt to curtail Karakalpakstan's autonomy -- Mirziyoyev himself has criticised local MPs for not telling him about public opposition to it -- may have been a bid to pre-empt any upsurge in separatism against the background of the war in Ukraine.
In 2005, Uzbek security forces crushed armed protests in the city of Andizhan, with 173 people killed in the clashes, according to official reports. The government at the time blamed the crisis in Andizhan -- located in the opposite, eastern part of Uzbekistan -- on Islamist extremists.

When the nights are dark and the weather is bracing, there’s nothing more tempting than the thought of curling up with a nice big bowl of delicious warming food. However, it can often be tricky to find indulgent dishes that aren’t either loaded with calories or require half a day of cooking and michelin style equipment to prep.
So, knowing that most peoples time is short and their desire to watch their waistlines is key, we reached out to our hearty but healthy nutrition hero, Jenna Zoe , who’s cooked up three very different but oh-so-satisfying dinners to help you #StartBetter this 2015 by keeping you cosy and content on these cold, winter nights.
1. Cheesy truffle quinoa bowl
Instagram: @jennazoe1
This is an easy recipe to make with very little time as it packs in flavour quickly and doesn't require much thinking ahead - it's also a great way to make the most of any leftovers you might have.
Start with a small cup of cooked quinoa as your base (you can either make big batches at a time so you always have some on hand, or else you can easily find ready cooked quinoa in supermarkets these days). Quickly toss some italian style veggies together in a pan until they're cooked through (or again, use leftover veggies). I recommend any combination of tomatoes, peppers, zucchini or mushrooms as they cook particularly fast. Place your cooked veggies on top of the quinoa, shave 12 ounces of parmesan on top, and drizzle liberally with truffle oil.

2. Stuffed curry squash
Preheat your oven to 200C. Slice a small squash (like an acorn squash or kabocha squash) in half and scoop out the seeds. Using your fingers, coat the flesh with a thin layer of coconut oil. Then, pat on some curry powder. Place the squash face upwards on a baking tray and cook for 35 minutes, or until softened.
Meanwhile, sautée half a can of chickpeas with a leafy green of your choice, such as spinach or chard, with a little water, one clove of garlic and some cumin (I also like to add some green chillies for a kick).When the squash is cooked, stuff the insides with the chickpea and greens mixture, and feast.
3. Spaghetti au thon
Instagram: @jennazoe1
This is such a simple dish to prepare that it can barely be called a recipe! It's based on a dish of the same name that I used to eat all the time as a kid. Using a spiralizer or grater, shred one whole zucchini so that it resembles pasta. Bring a pot of water to boil and blanch the zucchini noodles until softened and then set them aside.
Separately, heat up a jar of tomato sauce (look for a brand with honest ingredients that contains no added sugar). Remove it from the heat and using a fork, mix one small can of tuna (about 120 grams). Place your noodles in a bowl and top with the tuna and tomato mixture. Serve with some fresh basil and another drizzle of olive oil for the ultimate scrummy satisfaction.

For some time now the dieting world has been dictated by the dreaded calorie, with most food fads involving us restricting how many we consume in a day. Cut the calories and reduce your waistline - this was the motivational mantra that was, until recently, heralded by promoters of a healthier and happier lifestyle.
However, increasing evidence now suggests that we should be focusing more on the food types we’re eating, rather than the calories they contain.
Looking to kick of our 2015 with a #StartBetter boost, we reached out to GTG expert and nutritionist Vicki Edgson , to get the skinny on exactly why calorie counting is now longer the order of the day and what we should be doing instead to keep us looking trim and toned.
1. It is an old fashioned, man-made evaluation of individual foods, which has become outmoded by the advent of the greatest misunderstanding of all: that eating fat doesn't necessarily make you fat.
2. Low-fat products which apparently have less calories have now been found to have higher levels of sugar - this is because when the fat is removed from food such as yoghurt or cheese, the product needs to be stabilised.
3. It has now been scientifically established that eating sugars (derived naturally or man-made) actually contribute more rapidly to weight gain than protein-rich/fat-rich foods. This is because when sugar laden food is ingested it is converted into fat that is easily stored in the body.
4. It is now considered more important to measure the glycemic index (e.g. how rapidly a food is converted into glucose) than to measure the calorific content.
5. Food scientists are now realising the potential damage of the plethora of 0% calorie fizzy drinks - these are simply laden with a multitude of chemicals that can alter mood, attention, memory and may even be responsible for ADHD as well as obsessive compulsive behaviour.

6. Research is repeatedly finding that food products that are aligned with specifically dietary plans are often deficient in essential nutrients that are required for satiety.
7. Some natural foods that are high in calories e.g. pork, beef and lamb are so, not because they are fattening but because they are nutrient rich. E.g. a 6-ounce fillet steak with a side salad may appear to be high calorie but is a totally satisfying whole meal.
8. It is more important to eat fresh, good quality food on a regular basis that to consistently limit what your eating to stay under a calorific total.
MORE GLOSS: A Healthy Curiosity: Calorie counting vs. low GI
9. The success of the 5:2 diet has come not from limiting calories but instead to giving your digestion a break. If a woman is limited to 500 calories a day while on the 5:2, those foods should be lean protein with plenty of green vegetables that supply the body with all the nutrients it needs for healing and repair.
10. The saying ‘eat breakfast like a King, lunch like a Queen and supper like a pauper’ makes perfect scientific sense - your digestion is at its most effective at the beginning of the day when it can convert your food into energy more readily, and not store it as fat - so technically having a high calorific breakfast is preferable.
Have you got any tips and tricks that help you stay on the healthy straight and narrow? If so, send us a picture on Instagram or tell us your motivational mantras on Twitter using the #StartBetter.

We all know water’s good for us, but let’s be honest, it’s a little boring isn’t it?
If you’re looking to up your water intake this year, #StartBetter with the help of nutritionist and Get The Gloss Expert Jenna Zoe and upgrade it with one of her top supplements and hydration boosters. A great way to take your water to the next level, here are the beverage pick-me-ups that our shopping lists shouldn’t be seen without.
1. MSM Powder
Often referred to as the ‘beauty mineral,’ MSM is the most underrated addition to your health and beauty routine! The results of stirring a little MSM into a glass of water daily are almost instantaneous - it's the one thing guaranteed to give you noticeably better hair, skin and nails. It also has anti-inflammatory benefits and helps your body make antioxidants such as glutathione. It's totally tasteless too. Start with half a teaspoon per day and work your way up to a heaped teaspoon.
2. Lime juice and stevia
If you're someone who finds it hard to drink your 8 glasses a day, adding a little lime juice and stevia will make the job a lot easier (and delicious!). Lime juice also gives you a vitamin C boost, and surprisingly stevia (a non-calorific, non-glycemic natural sweetener) is highly alkalising to the system.

3. Chlorophyll drops
Despite our best efforts, consuming enough greens to counteract all of the negative sides of a modern lifestyle (pollution, second hand smoke, chemical exposure) is near-on impossible. There's almost no such thing as too much green! Chlorophyll drops are an effortless way to boost your consumption and give you that little extra ‘cover,’ especially for those days you're on-the-go. Simply add a few drops to a glass of water and drink as you normally would. I like to bring chlorophyll water to a workout because it means I'll inevitably be thirsty and therefore definitely drink the whole thing.
4. Teeccino
If you're trying to transition off coffee, this is hands-down the best-tasting, natural coffee substitute on the market. Subbing one cup of coffee a day for a Teeccino will not only reduce the stimulating and dehydrating effects from caffeine but also increase your hydration levels. These little teabags come in a variety of flavours, but my favourites are the Vanilla Nut and the Hazelnut.

5. Macrolife Macro Greens Sachets
There are so many greens powders out there but if you ask me, most of them taste like stagnant pond. Macro Greens is the only sachet that actually tastes good and makes a glass of water a bit more exciting. I love that it contains a blend of many different greens and superfoods, which covers you on many different nutrient bases. Plus, it blends well and doesn't have that ‘grassy’ texture most green powders have.

If you’re looking to make some positive some changes this 2015, a great place to #StartBetter is by giving your nutrition a happy, healthy makeover. However, before you put your culinary skills to the test, you need to ensure you’ve got the essential ingredients that make up the foundations of our favourite hearty foods.
We reached out to GTG expert and nutritionist Karen Cummings-Palmer , to get her advice on the top ten cooking cupboard essentials everybody needs to stock for creating wholesome dishes. So, whether you’re looking to start the year better or even just the day, these must-have items will all ensure you start 2015 with your best foot forward.
1. Matcha green tea
Everyone knows I’m a huge fan of matcha green tea because it contains roughly fifteen times the amount of antioxidant levels than regular green tea does. Smooth, slightly sweet and frothy, this drink should raise your energy levels and your metabolism and is a perfect alternative for people who love the ritual of a cappuccino.
2. Eggs
The humble egg is a wonderful super food. Even the best quality are relatively inexpensive and fairly long lasting, so I always have organic eggs in my fridge. Packed with bio-available protein, rich in skin boosting vitamin A, bone boosting vitamin D and energy boosting vitamin B, eggs are utterly essential. They’ve had some bad press because of the cholesterol they contain, but eating one or two a day is in fact highly unlikely to raise the bad (LDL) cholesterol levels in the blood and may raise the good (HDL) instead, working to boost both your brains and your beauty.
3. Apple cider vinegar with 'Mother'
Rich in acetic acid, this drink lowers blood sugar levels and, although the science is a little sketchy, it does seem to help curb appetite and aid weight loss. It’s also great for sore throats and sinus infections. I mix a couple of teaspoons with hot water for a warming evening drink or it can make a great 'jus' when cooking with fish or chicken.
4. Turmeric
Rich in the powerful anti-inflammatory curcumin, this bright yellow spice may protect against cancer and Alzheimer's. I add a teaspoon into my apple cider vinegar for a daily super health tonic or use it in curries and stews.
5. Coconut oil
What’s great about coconut oil is that you can use it to cook at high temperatures without worrying about the carcinogens that many other oils can produce. High in health boosting fatty acids, coconut oil is one of my favourite super foods. Add a spoonful to a smoothie, use it to sauté or apply it to eczema or dry hair to heal and nourish.

BEAUMONT, Texas — "Happy Fourth of July,” could be heard Monday morning at the annual Calder Place parade as families gathered to celebrate Independence Day.
There was a sea of red, white and blue and plenty of smiling faces at the neighborhood tradition, which is a favorite for many Southeast Texans.
Attendees included boy scouts, Mayor Robin Mouton, area firefighters and more. Many attendees were excited to experience the parade again.
“It was an awesome parade,” Kristopher Keith, parade attendee said. “We had a great time. We got candy and balloons and flags.
For some attendees, Monday was their first time enjoying the festivities.
“It's a surprise for me, because it's my first time here, and I didn't expect that, and I thought it was so wonderful,” Jacqueline Krisher, parade attendee said.
The festivities are set to continue Monday night at the Event Centre. Organizers are preparing for Beaumont’s 36th Annual Fourth of July Celebration and fireworks show.
The annual celebration is one of the biggest events the city puts on each year, with an annual budget of around $50,000. Some of the cost is offset by sponsors and vendor fees.
The Fourth of July Celebration is also one of the few events where all city departments come together to collaborate. Even the Beaumont Emergency Management helps to go over specific details.
Organizer’s said the event will have the largest fireworks show in Southeast Texas.
Emily Wheeler is director of event services. Wheeler is excited to see all the smiling faces of Southeast Texas after all the hard work she’s put in
“We all work really well together to make sure that this is a safe and fun family event for everyone, so we're just really excited to be here tonight,” Wheeler said.
Wheeler believes those looking to watch a good fireworks show and good music don’t need to look any further.
“Other than the firework show, which is what everybody comes out to see, we also have some great music tonight,” Wheeler said. “We have a local band Kurt Carson the Cure, as well as Pop Gun and another really awesome ban. It's going to take us right into the fireworks are called the Mambo Jazz Kings.”
The event begins at 5 p.m. at the Event Centre. The fireworks show starts at 9 p.m. Blankets and lawn chairs are permitted.

RICHMOND, Va. — The 17-year-old daughter of Toronto Blue Jays first base coach Mark Budzinski died in a boating accident in Virginia over the weekend, authorities said Monday.
Julia Budzinski was one of two girls who fell off a tube being pulled behind a boat on the James River in Richmond on Saturday, Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources spokesperson Paige Pearson said.
As the boat operator returned to get the girls out of the water, the boat hit a wave, causing it to be pushed on top of Budzinski and striking her with the propeller, Pearson said. The boat driver and the operator of another passing boat jumped into the water to try to rescue Budzinski, who was pronounced dead at a hospital.
Pearson said no foul play is suspected and alcohol was not a factor. “It was a terrible accident,” she said.
As news of the accident spread, a vigil was held Sunday night at Glen Allen High School, where Budzinski was a rising senior and played soccer and other sports.
“It was a very happy, fun last day on Earth for her,” her mother, Monica Budzinski, said at the vigil. “She was happy, laughing, having a good time and that’s the way I’m going to remember her.”
Mark Budzinski left the Blue Jays in the third inning of the second game of the team’s doubleheader against the Rays on Saturday after learning of his daughter’s death.
The Blue Jays later issued a statement saying he would take some time away from the team to grieve with his family.
There was a moment of silence for Julia Budzinski before Sunday’s series finale.
“My heart breaks for Bud,” Toronto manager Charlie Montoyo said after the game. “There’s good men and great men. He’s a great man. He’s a special kind of person. His family is great. The only thing I can share about what happened is that he left a note for the team. He did this while going through a tragedy, and that tells you everything about him.”
Mark Budzinski, a University of Richmond graduate, played four games for the Cincinnati Reds in 2003 and retired in 2005. After managing in Cleveland’s minor league system, he joined the then-Indians' big league staff in 2017. Toronto hired Budzinski in November 2018.

Boosting your energy, brainpower, body and wellbeing needn’t require a complete health overhaul. Nutritional therapist and founder of GP Nutrition Gabriela Peacock picks her five essential supplements for a brighter, more bushy tailed you.
1. Essential Fatty Acids
Sufficient dietary intake of essential fatty acids (omega-3 and omega-6) is beneficial to health. Research shows that modern diets are far higher in the less desirable omega-6 fats associated with increased inflammation and cardiovascular health risks. To bring the ratio of the two fats back into balance, it is recommended that the content of omega-3 fats is increased.
Omega-3 fatty acids cannot be made in the body and so must be obtained in the diet. They occur naturally in oily fish (such as EPA and DHA) and some seeds (such as ALA). Good sources of oily fish include salmon, mackerel and sardines and seeds including linseed (flaxseed oil), soya bean oil, pumpkin seeds and walnuts. The recommendation is to eat oily fish at least twice a week, however, this is relatively uncommon. Taking an omega-3 supplement is a popular and highly recommended alternative. Omega-3 fats are good for healthy brain function, cardiovascular function, shiny hair, glowing skin, hormone production and reduced inflammation. There are hundreds of different types of omega-3 supplements on the market so check with Gabriela to find out which one suits you.
2. Probiotics
The word probiotic means ‘for life’ - but we are more used to hearing the term ‘friendly bacteria’. The bacteria that live in our gut play an important role in maintaining a healthy digestive system, absorbing nutrients and strengthening our immune system. Too much stress, alcohol and refined sugars in the diet or taking repeated courses of antibiotics can all upset the balance of bacteria in the gut. Taking a probiotic supplement can aid digestion by breaking down the tough fibres found in food. Probiotic bacteria are the resilient bacteria that can survive the stomach acid and reach the intestine where they benefit health producing nutrients such as vitamin K and ferment organic acids which are absorbed into the bloodstream. Including live probiotic yoghurt is one way of getting some probiotic bacteria in your diet, however an alternative is to take a supplement such as Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli.
3. Vitamin D
Heralded as the wonder-vit, vitamin D has received plenty of media and scientific attention. According to the National Diet and Nutrition Survey, 90% of the population have an ‘insufficient’ amount of serum circulating vitamin D. This vitally important vitamin (which is actually a steroid hormone) can help to support immune function, healthy bones and teeth, inflammation and balance hormone levels. Low levels are linked to a wide range of health problems, from osteopenia and cardiovascular disease to cognitive impairment and autoimmune conditions.
Supplementation is seen by some as the safest and most effective method of achieving optimal vitamin D status. Supplements should contain vitamin D in the form of D3 (cholecalciferol) since this is the form naturally produced by the skin. Taking supplements might be wise during the darker months and for those more at risk of vitamin D deficiency, which includes the elderly, pregnant women and those who cover their skin for cultural reasons.
4. Multivitamin
While a balanced diet, full of organic, local produce is the ideal, it’s very easy to fall short because of lifestyle and availability. We can no longer rely on our food intake to provide sufficient supplies of essential vitamins and key minerals that we need for optimal wellbeing. Processed food is notorious for being devoid of much nutrition and our hectic lifestyles mean we are often eating on the run. Our bodies cannot produce many of the nutrients we need, so they must be found in the food we eat and the supplements we take every day. Additionally, if the food we are eating is lacking nutrients, then supplementing can really be beneficial in staying healthy. The first place you should start is with a multivitamin. This lays the foundation and gives your body the basic nutrition it needs while you get your body back into balance.
5. Iron
Iron is an important nutrient for growth and development but is something that many women tend to lack. When iron levels (serum ferritin) fall below a certain point, you may experience anaemia and symptoms of fatigue, poor immunity and hair loss. Animal products such as red meat, chicken and fish provide iron with a high bioavailability, meaning the iron is readily available to the body. Vegetarians can raise their iron stores by including lentils, spinach and other leafy green vegetables such as broccoli, kale and salad greens. Alternatively, it is widely recommended that women of menstruating age take an iron supplement. It is recommended that you consult a health professional before taking an iron supplement as too much can lead to constipation and toxicity.

WASHINGTON — The nation was shaken once again on Monday following a deadly mass shooting at a Fourth of July parade in suburban Chicago. At least 6 people were killed and at least 30 were wounded.
Police say hundreds of marchers, parents with strollers and children on bicycles fled in terror when a gunman on a rooftop opened fire on the Highland Park parade.
Who is the July 4 parade shooting 'person of interest'?
Highland Park Police Chief Lou Jogmen said Monday afternoon that police had identified Robert "Bobby" E. Crimo III as a person of interest. Police declined to answer questions about how they identified Crimo. Authorities initially said he was 22, but an FBI bulletin and Crimo's social media said he was 21.
More than a dozen police officers on Monday evening surrounded a home listed as an address for Crimo in Highland Park. Some officers held rifles as they fixed their eyes on the home. An armored vehicle was also parked in the middle of the road.
Around 7:30 p.m. Eastern, authorities announced Crimo was taken into custody after a North Chicago police officer spotted him. While there was a brief police chase, Highland Park authorities said he was eventually taken into custody without incident.
During a press conference announcing Crimo had been taken into custody Monday evening, authorities said they believed he was solely responsible for the mass shooting at the parade.
An FBI wanted poster described his tattoos as including "four tally marks with a line through them on his right cheek, red roses and green leaves on his neck, and cursive script above his left eyebrow."
The FBI poster also noted he has ties in Illinois to Rockford, DeKalb and Elgin
Crimo, who goes by the name Bobby, was an aspiring rapper with the stage name Awake the Rapper, posting on social media dozens videos and songs, some ominous and violent.
In one animated video since taken down by YouTube, Crimo raps about armies “walking in darkness” as a drawing appears of a man pointing a rifle, a body on the ground and another figure with hands up in the distance. A later frame shows a close-up of a chest with blood pouring out and another of police cars arriving as the shooter holds his hands up.
In another video, in which Crimo appears in a classroom wearing a black bicycle helmet, he says he is “like a sleepwalker… I know what I have to do,” then adds, Everything has led up to this. Nothing can stop me, even myself.”
Crimo’s father, Bob, a longtime deli owner, ran unsuccessfully for mayor of Highland Park in 2019, calling himself “a person for the people.”
What happened in Highland Park?
The shooting occurred at a spot on the parade route where many residents had staked out prime viewing points early in the day for the annual celebration. Dozens of fired bullets sent hundreds of parade-goers — some visibly bloodied — fleeing. They left a trail of abandoned items that showed everyday life suddenly, violently disrupted: A half-eaten bag of potato chips; a box of chocolate cookies spilled onto the grass; a child’s Chicago Cubs cap.
