AIR QUALITY ALERT
Air Quality Alert Message
Relayed by National Weather Service New York NY
435 PM EDT Sat Jun 25 2022
...AIR QUALITY ALERT IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 PM EDT THIS EVENING...
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has
issued an Air Quality Health Advisory for the following counties:
until 11 PM EDT this evening.
Air quality levels in outdoor air are predicted to be greater than
an Air Quality Index value of 100 for the pollutant of Ground Level
Ozone. The Air Quality Index, or AQI, was created as an easy way to
correlate levels of different pollutants to one scale. The higher
the AQI value, the greater the health concern.
When pollution levels are elevated, the New York State Department of
Health recommends that individuals consider limiting strenuous
outdoor physical activity to reduce the risk of adverse health
effects. People who may be especially sensitive to the effects of
elevated levels of pollutants include the very young, and those with
preexisting respiratory problems such as asthma or heart disease.
Those with symptoms should consider consulting their personal
physician.
A toll free air quality hotline has been established so New York
residents can stay informed on the air quality situation. The toll
free number is 1 800 5 3 5, 1 3 4 5.

First Alert Forecast: hot weather to continue into Sunday ahead of relief by the work week
JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - While most spots will stay dry into this evening, a few showers and thunderstorms will continue to some, mainly off to the south, before we all trend drier into tonight. Temperatures will slowly cool down over the next several hours to the middle 70s by early Sunday morning.
Heat stress concerns are also expected on Sunday with highs forecast to top out in the middle to upper 90s with feels like temperatures in the triple digits. There is a slightly better chance for showers and storms by this time, which could help provide relief from the steamy weather.
A much welcome shift in our weather pattern will arrive by the start of the upcoming work week as the ridge starts to weaken and a front drops in from the north. Highs all this week will be much closer to normal most afternoons in the lower 90s. Chances for rain and storms will also become more possible on a daily basis as the front stays nearby to our south.
Talkin’ Tropics: We are keeping a close eye on the tropical wave over the eastern tropical Atlantic that has a medium 60% chance for formation over the next 5 days. This area of disturbed weather could form into a tropical depression by this week as it tracks west. The Gulf will also be a place to watch over the next few days where there is now a low 20% chance for formation over the next 5 days. This is due to the front that will be just to our south where an area of low pressure could possibly form into the week ahead.

Robot server: Restaurant turning to futuristic option amid worker shortage
DENVER (KMGH) - A Colorado restaurant is using a robot server to deal with a labor shortage problem.
The owners say the technology isn’t meant to replace people but to give them an assist when things get busy.
Refik Turkanovich, an operating partner at Tom’s Watch Bar, says the robot may not look like much, but it can do quite a bit.
“It’s capable of going from one station to the next, delivering dishes and food if necessary,” Turkanovich said.
Turkanovic says, like many restaurants throughout the city, they’re having a tough time finding workers.
“We did this just to help alleviate some of the labor pressure,” Turkanovich said.
Employees are also working on a name for their extra helper.

Two South Mississippians representing Ole Miss in Omaha
OMAHA, Neb. (WLOX) - One last day of practice on Friday before two - or, maybe three - consecutive gamedays to round out the college baseball season. What a ride it has been, and what a ride it will continue to be through the weekend, between two teams who took slightly different paths to get here.
Of course, we all know the Ole Miss trajectory: from number one in the country, to the last team in the tournament. Oklahoma, on the other hand, stumbled a bit out of the gates before getting comfortable, only losing consecutive games two times after the first week of March, en route to a Big 12 championship. Both teams, though, had uphill battles in the tournament, having to win regionals and super regionals away from home.
Seeing your team’s name in the championship is surreal for everyone, even those who believed they could make it there. Two parents of the two South Mississippians on the Rebels squad - Hayden Dunhurst (Carriere) and Mitch Murrell (Ocean Springs) - said while they couldn’t quite predict being in Omaha this weekend, they did know these Rebels had a little something special.
“We’ve known since before the year started that this team was this good,” Bob Dunhurst, Hayden’s father, said. “They just went through such a tough time during the year, we were hoping sooner or later it would click and they could figure out how the pieces fit so they would have a chance. Once they got in, you always feel good.”
“I never would have dreamt it,” Roy Murrell, Mitch’s father, said. “My son, he’s been saying this since he was seven years old. This was his goal, he’d wanted to play in the College World Series. I guess he’s attained that.”

WHO panel: Monkeypox not a global emergency ‘at this stage’
LONDON (AP) — The World Health Organization said the escalating monkeypox outbreak in nearly 50 countries should be closely monitored but does not warrant being declared a global health emergency.
In a statement Saturday, a WHO emergency committee said many aspects of the outbreak were “unusual” and acknowledged that monkeypox — which is endemic in some African countries — has been neglected for years.
“While a few members expressed differing views, the committee resolved by consensus to advise the WHO director-general that at this stage the outbreak should be determined to not constitute” a global health emergency, WHO said in a statement.
WHO nevertheless pointed to the “emergency nature” of the outbreak and said controlling its spread requires an “intense” response.
The committee said the outbreak should be “closely monitored and reviewed after a few weeks.” But it would recommend a re-assessment before then if certain new developments emerge — such as cases among sex workers; spread to other countries or within countries that have already had cases; increased severity of cases; or an increasing rate of spread.
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreysus convened the emergency committee on Thursday after describing the epidemic of monkeypox in countries that haven’t previously reported the disease as “unusual and concerning.”
Monkeypox has sickened people for decades in central and west Africa, but until last month, the disease had not been known to cause significant outbreaks in multiple countries at the same time and involving people with no travel links to the continent.
Declaring a global health emergency means that a health crisis is an “extraordinary” event requiring a globally-managed response and that a disease is at high risk of spilling across borders. WHO previously made similar declarations for diseases including COVID-19, Ebola in Congo and West Africa, Zika in Brazil and the ongoing effort to wipe out polio.
The emergency declaration mostly serves as a plea to draw more global resources and attention to an outbreak. Past announcements have had mixed impact, given that WHO is largely powerless when trying to convince countries to act.
WHO said this week it has confirmed more than 3,200 monkeypox infections in about 40 countries that haven’t previously reported the disease. The vast majority of cases are in men who are gay, bisexual or have sex with other men and more than 80% of the cases are in Europe.

U.S. District Court of the Northern District of California orders immediate re-start of EB-5 regional center program; enjoins USCIS from deauthorization of EB-5 regional centers, enabling Behring to accept new EB-5 investors
BLACKHAWK, Calif., June 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Behring Co., a vertically integrated real estate developer and the operator of Behring Regional Center ("BRC"), praised the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of California's decision to issue a preliminary injunction, setting aside the deauthorization of EB-5 regional centers by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services ("USCIS"). Today's decision by U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria held that USCIS almost certainly committed legal error when it unilaterally deauthorized designated EB-5 regional centers existing at the time that the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022 ("RIA") was enacted into law and required regional centers to apply and receive approval for new designation before allowing them to operate and accept new EB-5 investors. Read the decision here.
The court's decision means that EB-5 investors can file new I-526 petitions now. The court's order enables Behring Regional Center, and all pre-authorized Regional Centers, to sponsor EB-5 projects. USCIS is required to accept I-526 petitions filed by new EB-5 investors that make qualified EB-5 investments through BRC. BRC attorneys at Greenberg Traurig welcomed the decision: "We are so pleased that the court recognized the true congressional intent," said Laura Reiff, shareholder at GT. "Existing regional centers can now operate and accept new investors. This is a program that should be embraced by the agency and the country as it brings much-needed revenue into the US and helps with job creation."
Behring will be hosting a webinar discussing the EB-5 program and the current updates in detail on June 27, 2022 at 4:00 PM PST. View Webinar Registration
When challenging USCIS's unilateral cancelation of EB-5 regional centers in April, BRC asserted that USCIS actions were contrary to the plain meaning of the RIA. BRC further asserted that USCIS's creation of new Forms I-956 and redesignation requirements violated the Administrative Procedure Act because USCIS did not go through notice-and-comment rulemaking. In granting BRC's preliminary injunction, the court stated that "Behring has made an exceedingly strong showing that the agency violated the APA. USCIS was almost certainly wrong in assuming that the Integrity Act affirmatively deauthorized existing regional centers, so the agency was almost certainly wrong to announce that the centers are no longer authorized." It agreed that BRC was likely to succeed on the merits of its case and that USCIS was wrong to assume that the RIA de-authorized existing regional centers. In recent weeks, Congress also had signaled its support when sending letters informing USCIS that its actions were against Congress's intent to restart the EB-5 Regional Center Program as quickly as possible after a 9-month lapse.
"It is an amazing victory for EB-5 investors, and we look forward to having the opportunity to go back to work creating jobs and promoting economic growth," said Colin Behring, CEO of Behring Regional Center LLC. With an active EB-5 project that is already I-924 exemplar approved, Behring investors will have the first opportunity to be eligible for the new 2,000 visas set aside for high unemployment (Target Employment Area) investments. Behring's EB-5 investment options include lower risk debt-style investments and higher earning preferred equity and common equity, all of which are open to investors immediately.

BETHESDA, Md. (AP) — In Gee Chun shot a 3-over 75 on Saturday to take a three-stroke lead into the final round of the Women's PGA Championship.
On a day when Congressional Country Club gave the leaders plenty of trouble, Chun was holding her own until she made a double bogey on the par-5 16th hole. The two-time major champion from South Korea led by five shots after the first round and six at the halfway point, but that 36-hole advantage has been cut in half. She had an 8-under 208 total.
Lydia Ko (76) and Jennifer Kupcho (74) — Chun's playing partners — had their own problems, but Lexi Thompson and Hye-Jin Choi both shot 70 and were tied for second with Sei Young Kim (71) at 5 under.
Chun bogeyed Nos. 1 and 11 but birdied 2 and 12. She had a five-shot lead when she had to play her third shot from some tall grass on the 16th. That shot put her in even more trouble, in an area with tall grass and some thick trees. She took an unplayable lie and went back to the previous spot to re-hit.
Chun hit an 8-iron and sent the ball over the green, but she did manage to get up and down for a 7. Ko wasn't able to take advantage of Chun's mishap. She bogeyed four of five holes during one stretch on the front nine, then birdied four of the next seven. She wrapped up the round with four straight bogeys.
Kupcho had three birdies and three bogeys in the first seven holes and couldn't gain much ground on the leader.
Kim had a comparatively drama-free round with two birdies and a bogey. Thompson made three birdies on the back nine, including a putt from about 30 feet on No. 15.
Hannah Green (72) was fifth at 4 under, a stroke ahead of Atthaya Thitikul (68), who was so far behind at the start of the day she was in one of the groups sent off on No. 10. Brooke Henderson (73), Kupcho and Jennifer Chang (73) were tied sixth with Thitikul.

TEXARKANA, Texas (KTAL/KMSS) – Researchers have an alternative explanation for the “raining fish” that fell from the sky in Texarkana, Texas, last year. According to a study conducted by a pair of independent researchers, it was not a waterspout that dumped fish across a four-mile swath of Texarkana on December 29, 2021. It was nervous birds.
“We are fairly confident we determined the factors that led to fish falling across this area of Texas: A flock of cormorants (and possibly other birds) disgorged their recently consumed meals of small shad while in the air or perhaps during takeoff,” geologist Sharon A. Hill said in a blog post announcing the results of her research, conducted alongside Australian author Paul Cropper.
At the time, the raining fish were believed to be the result of a rare meteorological phenomenon in which a waterspout, moving over a body of water, sucks up small creatures such as fish and frogs, carrying them along until ultimately dropping them over land. The city of Texarkana officially attributed the “raining fish” to this phenomenon in December.
Strong winds created by tornadoes or hurricanes can also send small species raining from the sky, according to the Library of Congress. But Hill, who describes herself as a “Spooky Geologist and Strange Claims Adjuster,” said her research found no evidence that a waterspout swept the fish up and deposited them over Texarkana. In fact, Hill says, there is evidence the fish had been partially digested.
This is one of the reasons Hill says she and Cropper strongly suspected that cormorants had eaten the fish and then regurgitated them. Cormorants are known to regurgitate their food, but the reason for that is unknown.
Hill acknowledges the theory is not foolproof, noting one major flaw that she and Cropper discussed with “bird researchers.”
“We were also well aware of the habit of these fish-eating birds to release their stomach contents either to quickly fly away or to feed their young. This was a known and common behavior that had been observed by bird researchers,” Hill wrote. “But they had never seen it happen during active flight (we asked them). Therefore, this remains a weakness of the hypothesis.”
Texarkana Regional Airport officials, however, did note the presence of cormorants around the time of the storm on Dec. 29, 2021, Hill said.
Hill and Cropper’s findings were published in the Fortean Times magazine, a British monthly which focuses on “news, reviews and research on strange phenomena and experiences, curiosities, prodigies and portents,” according to its subscription page.
“You’ll need a sense of adventure, curiosity, natural scepticism [sic] and a good sense of humour [sic],” the site warns.

Among the most interesting revelations that Bethesda and Microsoft made about their future space exploration game ‘Starfield’, there was one figure that stood out: the game would have a whopping thousand planets to explore, each with its own physical characteristics, fauna and flora. Bethesda, a company that has franchises of the magnitude of ‘The Elder Scrolls’ and ‘Fallout’ in its portfolio, knows what it is to face huge worlds… but until now they had been restricted to a single planet.
Of course, Bethesda isn’t going to program each place where the ‘Starfield’ player can land one by one. In an interview with IGN, the game’s director, Todd Howard, has explained how this spectacular feature of the title will work. The key, although it has its nuances, as many players can assume, is in the procedural generation, a procedure that he already put into practice with ‘Skyrim’.
However, Howard also comments that not all planets have the same amount of content, and there will be some that are more populated and have more missions to accomplish on them. What Todd Howard does say is that it will be an experience only partially dominated by procedural generation, since ‘Starfield’ is the game with the most “handmade” content that they have embarked on so far: It has 200,000 lines of dialogue and a good part of design done in a traditional way.
Here’s how Howard explains the scope of the procedural question, lest anyone be fooled: “There are a lot of ice balls in space, so one of our big design considerations in this game is, ‘What’s the fun in an ice ball? of ice?’ And sometimes it’s okay that ice balls aren’t fun. They are what they are. But we’d rather have them be there and say, ‘Hey, you can land on this if you want.’ We give you the resources, you can spend ten minutes there and say, ‘ Well, now I’m going to go back to the other planet that has all this other content, and I’m going to go on this other mission.
Namely, it seems to be more or less clear that although the thousand planets can be visited, their real interest will vary from one to another. Still, Bethesda’s promise of plenty of traditionally designed content ensures we don’t run into the problems that plagued the launch of games like No Man’s Sky. For now, Bethesda promises more details soon about what will be one of the big games of 2023.

When on June 27, 2013 the voice of David Stern, commissioner of the NBA, pronounced the surname at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn Antetokounmpo, a couple who were 7,700 kilometers from New York broke down in tears. from Greece, Charles y Veronica they hugged when they found out that their son Giannis had been chosen by Milwaukee Bucks and then both they, and the other three children with whom they lived, would stop being illegal immigrants in Europe and would travel to the United States.
The world knew then The Greek Freakwho in 2021 became champion of the most spectacular basketball league on the planet and was MVP of the 2019 and 2020 seasons. But his story did not begin in North America or Europe, but rather in Africa and it is so moving that Disney decided to make the movie and baptize it under the name of RISE, which is already available on the platform Disney+.
The film traces the life of Charles and Veronica, who left Nigeria in search of a better life in Greece and made the difficult decision to leave their baby Francis there in the care of his grandparents. In their new home, being illegal immigrants, they had four more children, Giannis, Thanasis, Kostas and Alex, who are currently professional basketball players and the first three have already become NBA champions. But, before being stars, These children used to walk the streets of Athens as street vendors and it was common to see them escape from the police when the agents arrived to confiscate their merchandise and try to deport them.
“There’s a scene in the movie where we’re selling things on the street and basically the police show up, so we have to pack up and run. There you see how Thanasis grabs Alex. How they run and how my mom grabs me. I remember that happened a couple of times, you know, that we had to just run really fast from somewhere, ”Thanasis recalled at a press conference in which he participated. Infobae. His mother, Veronica, was moved when talking about that moment in which she took her children and fled in search of a refuge: “When I saw that scene I was moved and I cried. I remember we used to pray together. I think it’s really nice that this story is being told.”
Since they set foot in Greece, Charles and Veronica did everything possible to get a formal job that would allow them to apply for citizenship, but the bureaucracy and the political decision not to accept immigrants who arrived in the country illegally prevented them from achieving it. That’s why, any brush with the law or any information that aroused the attention of the authorities could send his family back to Nigeria.
Despite everything, the couple dedicated themselves to raising their children based on effort and respect, regardless of the growing racism that was seen on the streets and the lack of opportunities they had due to their condition. Spending their days in a small house that they rented with the few euros they got, they accustomed their little ones to live in a humble way, to sleep all in the same room, share a bed, go to school, study and go to church on Sundays.
Excited, Giannis recognized that he could never have achieved what his parents achieved: “When I saw the film it took me a week or two to realize everything. I went to find my mother and I said: ‘How come you never lost faith? That’s crazy.’ To be honest, I would have given up hope in less than two years in Greece. I would have said, ‘I’m out of here, enough’. But you continued to raise us, take us to school, and educate us to trust each other and help each other as a team at all times with lots of love.”
The film shows the suffering that Charles and Veronica had to go through during all those years until Giannis met basketball, excelled in the Greek minor leagues and reached the NBA. In response to a query Infobae, the woman of just over 50 years did not hesitate to ensure that her family has a kind of “superpower”: “We believe in God, we are very disciplined and united as a family. We love each other”.
Regarding whether that stage of their lives marked them as professionals, Kostas, NBA champion with the Los Angeles Lakers, made an in-depth analysis: “Surely those moments have helped us overcome a lot of things that happen to us today. Although everyone has their career, there are always times when you are up and times when you are down. But that’s when you remember the hard times you’ve lived through and how you’ve managed to get out of those low moments… I think that helps with that”.
The screenwriter of the film, Arash Amel, explained that the film is about a family and that basketball is simply a tool they use to achieve glory. In this contextthe great protagonist is Charles Antetokounmpo, who managed to bring his family forward, but his early death in September 2017, when he was barely 54 years old, prevented him from seeing Giannis crowned twice as league MVP (2019 and 2020) and as champion in 2021 and MVP of the finals.
Precisely Giannis was happy with how Charles is personified in RISE: “I think all of us are very proud of what the film shows about our father, he is a very passionate and loving man, who loved his children and his family. He always pushed us to be the best version of ourselves, from teaching us to come to school early, to being polite with people. I think we’re proud of how the movie turned out and how it shows it.”

Before the release of early access in October, all of them will be automatically opened.
Overwatch 2 is one of the great releases that you have prepared Blizzard in the coming months. The hero shooter will arrive on PC and consoles in early access next October with a conversion to the free to play model that will help players complete their transition from the first installment.
As reported by Kotaku, the developers have talked about whether the new title will affect the 2016 game. In a question and answer session on Reddit, they have confirmed that from October Overwatch 2 will replace the originalalthough at first it was pointed out that the two would coexist sharing content.
When it is released it will replace the current game serviceAaron Kepler“We use the term Early Access to indicate that this is just the beginning of many new things to come to the game,” says Aaron Keller. “Larger parts will be released as part of a service, including the launch of the PvE campaign next year. When Overwatch 2 releases in October, it will replace the current game service.”
Also, in the question and answer session they address the issue of what will happen to the loot boxes that players have not opened in Overwatch. The doubt arises as a result of the fact that the loot boxes will disappear as such in the second part, which will bet on another type of model.
The boxes will open automaticallyThe solution that Blizzard has found to solve this problem is that, before Overwatch 2 arrives, loot boxes will open automatically so as not to lose the content that is inside, and what is obtained will be added instantly to the account of each profile.
In relation to the credits, they will also be transferred automatically, although it will be made available to the players a new type of major currency, being able to buy certain items with the old ones. Unlocked cosmetic content will not be lost, but will be compatible with the second installment of Overwatch.
As we say, and although players will be able to try it again in a new beta for PC and consoles, Blizzard has set the launch in early access of Overwatch 2 for the 4th of October of this same year. From there, the studio has a confirmed roadmap to continue adding content in the future.

With the long-awaited and elusive Champions League as the main objective, Paris Saint Germain moves within the transfer market to carry out a deep renovation. One of the main changes to carry out this change was the decision to bet on the Portuguese Luis Campos as the new leader of the sports project instead of the Brazilian Leonardo.
The Portuguese, while trying to reach an agreement with Nice to hire Christophe Galtier to replace the Argentine Mauricio Pochettino as technical directorput the “sale” sign to several of its main figures with the intention of freeing up salary mass and making money to incorporate.
So far, the only confirmed moves made by PSG so far in this transfer window were the renewal of Kylian Mbappé (he was Real Madrid’s big goal) and making use of the purchase option for Portuguese left-back Nuno Mendez (approximately 38 million euros to Sporting Lisboa). They also decided to leave Ángel Di María free to act.
According to the newspaper The Parisian, “PSG will do everything possible to find a way out for the ‘undesirables’. If some resist and reject interesting proposals for the club, they will be marginalized”.
Sky Sport, for his part, goes one step further and made a list of the footballers who would have marked him out of the institution. Within this list, the presence of two Argentine soccer players stands out: Leandro Paredes and Mauro Icardi.
The midfielder, although he publicly expressed his desire to continue in the French capital, knows that he will run from behind next season and his desire to reach the World Cup in Qatar in optimal conditions could change his mind. Product of his good time in Serie A (he played in Chievo Verona, Rome and Empoli) it is closely followed by several of Italy’s top teams, such as Juventus.
The striker is not in the mood to change clubs either, but being in the news for extra-football issues was not to the liking of the board and they will try to sell him. In the last season he contributed only five goals in 30 games, but It has a market in Calcio and the Premier League.
Another name for weight is Keylor Navas. The institution bets all its cannons on the Italian Gigio Donnarumma and will try to transfer the Costa Rican, who in recent days made it clear that “I have two more years of contract and my family is happy in France.”
The defense will be one of the areas of the field that would have the most replacement. With Marquinhos, Presnel Kimpembe, Sergio Ramos, Nuno Mendes and Achraf Hakimi as untouchables, added to the insistent desire to hire Inter Milan central marker Škriniar, they will seek to free up space by shedding players like the French right-back Colin Dagba (23 years old, contract until June 2024), the German center-back Thilo Kehrer (25 years old, bond until mid-2023), the Senegalese defender Abdou Diallo (26 years old, signed until June 2024) and the French left winger Layvin Kurzawa (29, until June 2024).
In midfield, in addition to Paredes, three other players are under scrutiny. The most striking is the Spanish Andrew Herrera, who was a piece quite used by Pochettino last year (28 games, with four goals). Senegalese Idrissa Gueye could suffer the same fate as a result of his age since his contract expires in June 2023. The Dutch Georginio Wijnaldum He came to the club in the last transfer window as one of the star signings from Liverpool, but his level did not suit the board. He could return to England.
The last name is that of the German polyfunctional Julian Draxlerwho has just participated in 24 games and scored two goals The attacker extended his contract until June 2024, but they are looking to relocate him to another institution.

When thinking of a VPN network, the first utility that comes to mind for any person is the possibility of hide IP address. But in addition to having more private browsing, VPNs can also have many other advantages.
So that you can have it as clear as possible, we are going to review all the functions that can be found. Among these, the change of location, download apps fast and even save money while shopping online.
How to improve INTERNET SECURITY: VPN, DNS and pages with HTTPS
Bypass content blocking
In addition to privacy on the network, the second best-known use is the possibility of fake location What’s wrong. This is something that has become popular in the playful environment.
In this case, when you activate the VPN, the computer will end up connecting to its server. Then it will be from this that the internet connection is made. That way, if you’re in China and connecting through a server in the United States, all services they will think that you will be in this country.
In this way, what is going to be achieved is to pass all the levels of censorship that may exist in some countries. One of the great examples is China, where to be able to connect to Google, Facebook or Twitter, this type of system is needed.
Download P2P content
It is true that currently P2P networks are practically forgotten. These are related to the download pirated files with a lot of supply and demand today. But in some cases you can find some torrents that are not pirated and are completely legal.
But due to the numerous legal problems with piracy in various countries, many internet providers are they end up blocking downloads. That is why, if you want to download a Torrent in a completely legal and safe way, you can use the VPN to get around these restrictions.
Save money on your purchases
It is a reality that the value of money varies between various countries. In this way, when you see a product that you like, you will be able to find it at a fluctuating price depending on the location of the online store.
In this way, when you want to make a purchase that is much cheaper in another country, you will have to opt for the use of a VPN. The problem that can arise is that you can not access the delivery of this product. For this reason, it will be recommended above all for downloading services, but also for booking a flight or hotel so that it will be cheaper.
Access to the exclusive Netflix catalog
Streaming platforms do not have the same catalog in all countries. For example, in Spain you will not find the same series as in the United States, so there is no international catalog.
With the VPN, as we have mentioned before, you will be able to connect to any country in the world. From that moment on, you will be able to consult the catalog, since it will be simulated as if you were there. Above all, it should be noted that this is a function that you will use, especially when traveling outside your home country. But also when the premiere of a series It is not performed worldwide, but you are interested in seeing it at all costs. The problem is that sometimes the bandwidth available is very limited in VPN networks of poorer quality. That is why its use is recommended on networks without any data limits.
Download apps that are not in your country
Although in the previous case we have focused on the series of the different streaming services, it should be noted that in the iOS, Android or macOS application stores there are also location restrictions. Due to local regulations, restrictions may apply, one of the clearest examples being Apple with its Apple News service that is not available in Spain.
In this way, when accessing the application store with the VPN active, it will be possible to perform the download of the application that is only in another country. But to this is also added that to use it on a day-to-day basis, you will also have to use the VPN, since different location restrictions are integrated.
A vital tool if you are teleworking
Telecommuting is gradually gaining ground in many companies, with its advantages and also drawbacks. And it is that many of the offices in which teleworking can be recognized, have systems that can only be accessed if you are in the office itself. It is a security system that prevents anyone else from connecting.
Thanks to the VPN network, it will be possible to connect to the private intranet, by simulating that you are working from your own office, although the reality is that you are at home. Obviously this is something puts at your disposal the company itself, to be able to access this work environment.
Drastic improvement in your privacy
There are some options on the VPN market that offer privacy features thanks to the fact that they are storing all your browsing data. The main function lies in the Difficulty of being able to trace the IP, causing a digital footprint not to be created to avoid commercial tracking. In short, the creation of the famous cookies that haunt us while we are on the Internet will be avoided.
But in addition to this, when you want to be on a public network, it is also recommended its use by preventing it from being able to hack the connection easily. Ideal in this way to make bank payments, or access the Public Administration with your digital certificate, it is recommended to do it with an active VPN.

Britishvolt targets larger format batteries for upscale EVs
Battery technology pioneer Britishvolt has unveiled a development roadmap for larger format, 46900 high-performance lithium-ion advanced cell technologies which would be suitable for high-performance EVs.
Orral Nadjari, Founder/CEO, said it understands the importance of larger format cells, which is why its recent acquisition of EAS and scale-up facility in the Midlands will help its deliver 4690 cells that customers require.
"Critically, we will be able to build these game-changing cells in a truly sustainable, low carbon way," he said.
“We start with digital twin/simulation modelling, exactly the same way we did with our 21700 cell development, and then move on to physical prototyping. This improves efficiency, reduces waste, lowers costs and makes us leaner and more agile."
The 4690 cell pathway is in development at Britishvolt, where the company is leveraging its digital-twin simulation and modelling capabilities to drive engineering and bring technology to market quicker and more efficiently.
The use of digital twin, via its simulation and modelling capabilities, provides Britishvolt with analytical data and tools, coupled with its manufacturing expertise, to effectively tailor the 4690 cell.
This customisation can be in aspects including the variation of dimension, i.e. to shorten or increase the cell length against the 4690 format, in order to maximise performance and system integration delivering the product our end customers require.
Britishvolt recently extended its contract with WMG, University of Warwick to develop battery cell technologies and accelerate the route to market, in a multi-million-pound deal (click here).
Following an initial 12-month project, Britishvolt and WMG are now embarking on a two-year programme. WMG’s research will assist with battery cell development and optimisation including small-scale manufacturing to produce battery electrodes and cells using Britishvolt target materials sets, formulations and cell designs.

The U.S. Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to an abortion that was guaranteed nearly 50 years ago by the decision in
Roe v. Wade.
The ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization was released Friday morning. The justices, voting 6-3 along ideological lines, sided with the Mississippi abortion law that was in question.
Reactions were mixed across the country, with anti-abortion-rights supporters celebrating what they view as a victory, and abortion-rights activists expressing their frustration over the decision. Here are some of the scenes from D.C., and across the country.

NEW YORK (AP) — An Army private charged with plotting to murder members of his unit overseas with help from a secretive violent anarchist group was planning a defense calling it all an internet fantasy before pleading guilty just before trial, court records show.
Plans for the defense of Ethan Phelan Melzer was revealed in court papers in the months before the Kentucky man abruptly pleaded guilty to charges Friday, eliminating the need for his July 5 trial in Manhattan federal court. Sentencing is set for Jan. 6. He could face up to 45 years in prison rather than the life sentence that a jury conviction could have brought.
Melzer, 24, was in Italy in October 2019 with the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team when he communicated online with others prior to plotting an attack against his Army unit once it was redeployed in 2020 to guard an isolated and sensitive military installation, prosecutors said.
But court papers reveal the individuals he was communicating with online weren't members of the Order of Nine Angles — or 09A — as he believed, but rather, government informants who helped build the case against him, defense lawyers said.
The Washington Post quoted a European security official in a June 2020 article as saying that the Nazi-Satanist group was established in Britain in the 1970s and has promoted extreme violence for decades.
The official who spoke on anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue told the newspaper that 09A membership ranges from a few dozen to about 2,000, targeting young people and sending supporters into groups to influence and recruit.
Prosecutors said the white-supremacist group espouses neo-Nazi, anti-Semitic and Satanic beliefs and encourages members to infiltrate the military to gain training, commit acts of violence and identify like-minded individuals intent on subverting the military from within.
U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said Friday that Melzer sought to “orchestrate a murderous ambush on his own unit by unlawfully disclosing its location, strength and armaments to 09A members online.”
“The defendant believed he could force the U.S. into prolonged armed conflict while causing the deaths of as many soldiers as possible. Melzer’s traitorous conduct was a betrayal of his storied unit and nothing short of an attack against the most essential American values,” he said in a news release.
Before Friday's plea, Melzer's lawyers were building a defense asserting he was merely indulging in fantasy chats similar to a New York City police officer dubbed the “cannibal cop” by tabloids when he was convicted in 2013 of kidnapping conspiracy in a plot to rape, kill and eat women. They said it was a case with “similar facts” as those facing Melzer.
Online, Officer Gilberto Valle had discussed the cannibalistic plot with others in grisly detail. But in throwing out the jury verdict, a judge wrote that while Valle's “misogynistic sexual fantasies” reflected a diseased mind, prosecutors failed to prove he'd taken steps to carry out any gruesome deeds.
As Melzer's lawyers wrote: “The charges in this case are sensational, the facts less so: No ‘jihadist ambush’ on Melzer’s unit happened, none was close to happening, and Melzer had no intention of seeing one happen. In post-arrest interviews with law enforcement he made clear that he never intended to see an attack occur and that he believed that his interlocutors were ‘jokers’ who similarly had no intentions or capabilities of orchestrating one.”
They said his online prose was “bluster — falsities designed to impress the people he was communicating with online.” And the lawyers wrote that while Melzer was curious about 09A, he thought it was “weird” and “pretty much a cult” and its beliefs were “polar opposite” of his own.
They said one government cooperator posing as an 09A sympathizer online claimed to be a former Canadian paratrooper injured in Iraq, but he was actually a mentally ill 15-year-old who had been hospitalized for psychiatric care months before he began communicating with Melzer.
“The government’s efforts to paint Melzer as an O9A-devotee committed to murdering his fellow soldiers are overblown,” defense lawyers wrote. They said three post-arrest interviews in 2020 with law enforcement “amounted to full-throated denials of the most serious charges against him.”
The guilty plea came after prosecutors clarified they'd built a case against Melzer that included evidence from his electronic devices and barracks — photographs, videos and documents — that could be characterized as “jihadist” and “09A” materials.
Also recovered were books titled “The Sinister Tradition” and “The Anarchist's Cookbook,” which prosecutors maintained had detailed instructions on how to manufacture and use explosives and weapons.
But the most potentially damaging evidence prosecutors said they planned to show the jury was proof Melzer sought to earn a self-initiation into 09A through violence as a street-level drug dealer after shooting a marijuana dealer in the arm in January 2017 near his Louisville, Kentucky, apartment. He joined the Army the following year.

BRASILIA, Brazil (AP) — A confrontation between military police and members of the Guarani Kaiowá group south of Mato Grosso do Sul in Brazil near the Paraguay border left at least one Indigenous person dead and seven wounded, state authorities said. Three officers were also injured in the clash.
Videos posted on social media show a military police helicopter and cars passing by Indigenous people who have been on a rural property neighboring the Amambai reservation since Thursday. There are also images of wounded people.
The main council representing the Indigenous in Mato Grosso do Sul said Saturday in a statement that police arrived shooting and there was a violent repossession attempt. The Indigenous claim the area where a farm is located, adjacent to the village, is part of their ancestral territory. They call the area Guapoy territory.
The council talked of two deaths, but the state government’s advisory office reported one death and seven Indigenous hurt.
The state’s Justice and Public Safety Secretary Antonio Carlos Videira denied the action was a repossession attempt, which is the responsibility of the federal police in Brazil.
He said that military police were sent to the farm because they were better equipped, and that the agents were “met by gunfire.”
The clash comes weeks after journalist Dom Philips and Indigenous expert Bruno Pereira were murdered in the heart of the Brazilian Amazon.
Around 10,000 Indigenous people live in the Amambaia reserve, the second largest in terms of population in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul.

ROME (AP) — Congo’s Catholic bishops, coping with disappointment over a scrubbed visit by Pope Francis, said Saturday that his decision to go ahead with a trip to Canada was an “encouraging sign” that his knee treatment was working, as they held out hope for a rescheduled date.
In the meantime, Francis is sending the Vatican secretary of state to Congo to celebrate a special Mass for peace and reconciliation next weekend, when Francis was due to have arrived, said Bishop Donatien Nshole, secretary general of the Congolese bishops conference.
Nshole stressed that Cardinal Pietro Parolin wasn't replacing Francis and that Congo was awaiting word from the Vatican for a new date for a papal visit. But in a video statement, he said Parolin’s visit was further sign of the “great consideration he (Francis) has for our country.”
The Vatican announced June 10 that Francis had to postpone the planned July 2-7 visit to Congo and South Sudan because doctors said it could jeopardize the therapy he is receiving for strained ligaments in his right knee. The problem has forced him to use a wheelchair for over a month, and he uses a cane when walking or standing.
At the same time, the Vatican on Thursday indicated Francis was going ahead with a planned July 24-30 visit to Canada by releasing the trip itinerary. The Vatican hasn’t said why the Canada visit could go ahead but not the Africa one.
“For us, this is an encouraging sign of the positive evolution of the care he is taking,” Nshole said. “Without a doubt, the trip to Canada will also be a test for the pope and his doctors of the effectiveness of his care and will serve as an evaluation for the future and the activities of the pontiff.”
Nshole said Parolin will celebrate the Mass in Kinshasa on July 3, on the same day that similar Masses are held across Congo and Francis celebrates a special Mass for Rome’s Congoloese community at the Vatican.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A man and woman were found fatally shot Saturday at a hotel resort in central Florida's tourist corridor in what authorities are describing as a murder-suicide that started as a domestic dispute.
The middle-aged man and woman were found at The Fountains Resort on International Drive, which is a primary tourist corridor in Orlando.
The Orange County Sheriff's Office told local news outlets that it appears the man shot the woman and then shot himself.
No further details were released Saturday afternoon.

PHOENIX (AP) — Protests outside the Arizona Capitol over the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade that ended with a volley of tear gas were variously described Saturday as either peaceful or driven by anarchists intent on destruction.
Republican Senate President Karen Fann issued a news release describing it as a thwarted insurrection, while protesters called it a violent overreaction by police who they said acted without warning or justification.
Arizona Department of Public Safety statements said state troopers launched the gas as some in a group of 7,000 to 8,000 people that rallied at the Capitol on Friday night were trying to break into the state Senate. Lawmakers were working to finish their yearly session.
The vast majority of people were peaceful and state police said there were no arrests or injuries. While both abortion opponents and abortion rights backers were there, most of the crowd opposed the high court's decision.
Police fired tear gas at about 8:30 p.m. as dozens of people pressed up against the glass wall at the front of the Senate building, chanting and waving signs backing the right to abortion. While most were peaceful, a handful of people were banging on the windows, and one person forcefully tried to kick in a sliding glass door.
That's when SWAT team members with the Department of Public Safety stationed on the second floor of the old Capitol building fired the tear gas.
Video taken from inside the Senate lobby by Republican Sen. Michelle Ugenti-Rita showed the scene. Another she took moments later showed state police in riot gear forming a line inside the building, facing protesters on the other side of the glass.
She said in an interview with The Associated Press on Saturday morning that the protesters were clearly trying to enter the locked building.
"They were aggressively banging on the windows in a way that at any moment it could break," Ugenti-Rita said. “This wasn’t a knock on a window. I mean, they were trying to break the windows.”
Hundreds of protesters could been seen in her videos milling about the plaza between the House and Senate buildings, while about a hundred were closer, near the glass wall at the front of the Senate building.
“There was no other conclusion than they were interested in being violent,” she added. "I have no other takeaway than that. I’ve seen many protests over my years, in many different sizes and forms. I’ve never seen that ever.”
Democratic state Rep. Athena Salman of Tempe, however, said those gassed were peaceful.
“A bunch of House and Senate Democrats voted to give these cops a huge pay raise,” said said on Twitter in a post showing police firing tear gas. “Some even called it historic. Remember that every time the cops gas peaceful protesters.”
State police said in a statement that what “began as a peaceful protest evolved into anarchical and criminal actions by masses of splinter group.” And they said they had issued multiple warnings for people to leave.
Police said gas was deployed “after protesters attempted to break the glass" and was later deployed again in a plaza across the street. Police said some memorials at the plaza were defaced.
No broken glass was visible at the Senate building after the crowd dispersed.
Republicans lawmakers had enacted a 15-week abortion ban in March over the objection of minority Democrats. It mirrors a Mississippi law that the Supreme Court upheld on Friday while also striking down Roe. A law dating from before Arizona became a state in 1912 that bans all abortions remains on the books, and providers across the state stopped providing abortions earlier Friday out of fear of prosecution.
The protester incident forced Senate lawmakers to flee to the basement for about 20 minutes, said Democratic Sen. Martin Quezada. Stinging tear gas wafted through the building afterward, and the proceedings were moved to a hearing room instead of the Senate chamber.
Fann was presiding over a vote for a contentious school vouchers expansion bill when she abruptly halted proceedings. Speeches backing or supporting the bill expanding the state's school voucher program to all 1.1 million public school students were cut off, and the bill passed.
“We're going into recess right now, OK?” Fann announced. “We have a security problem outside.”
The building was never breached, said Kim Quintero, a spokesperson for the Senate GOP leadership.
After the tear gas sent protesters fleeing, the Senate reconvened to vote on its final bills before adjourning for the year shortly after midnight. A faint smell of tear gas hung in the air.

BAMAKO, Mali (AP) — Mali’s junta leader signed a new law paving the way for elections and a return of the West African country to constitutional rule. Col. Assimi Goita has been president of the transitional government since seizing power in a coup two years ago.
The law signed Friday would also allow him and other military members of the transitional government to run in 2024, when the next presidential election is scheduled, according to a copy of the new legislation seen by the Associated Press.
The West Africa regional bloc, the Economic Community of West Africa States, imposed stiff sanctions on Mali earlier this year after military rulers refused to organize elections in February as planned.
The law creates a single election management body to replace a contested three-party system, and would detail the steps that would lead to elections. It’s meant to signal the junta’s willingness to return to constitutional rule and convince the bloc to ease sanctions, according to state media.
However, the fact that junta leaders will be able to run in the election could derail the democratic process casting doubt on the country’s return to stability, said Abdrahmane Diarra, youth president for the Union for the Republic and Democracy.
But conflict analysts say the concern is not about who is running or not, but about finding a leader who is going to unite the country and help it emerge from its current security and political disaster.
“Goita or another leader wouldn’t matter as long as tangible results are there and signs of stability start to be apparent,” said Rida Lyammouri, a senior fellow at the Policy Center for the New South, a Moroccan based organization focused on economics and policy.

COVINGTON, Ky. (AP) — A Kentucky man pardoned by former Gov. Matt Bevin, who said the man will do “great things with his life,” is facing assault and strangulation charges.
The Kentucky Enquirer reports 20-year-old Johiem Bandy, of Covington, is charged with strangulation, assault and second-degree criminal mischief for incidents that happened in March and April, according to court documents.
One female victim told police Bandy “pinned her against the wall, placing his hands around her neck, and restricting her ability to breathe,” according to a complaint. In another complaint, Bandy is charged with choking and assaulting a woman following a dispute over money.
Bandy was sentenced at age 15 to 13 years in prison for robbery and assault, according to court documents. He had served two years of that sentence when he was fully pardoned by Bevin in 2019.
Bevin wrote in the document that Bandy is "turning his life around,” and “I am confident that he will do great things with his life.” It was one of hundreds of pardons and commutations issued by Bevin during his final days in office.
“Obviously the former governor was very wrong,” Kenton County Commonwealth’s Attorney Rob Sanders wrote in an email to the newspaper. “Bandy hasn’t turned his life around.”
Bandy was being held at the Kenton County Detention Center on a $5,000 bond, Sanders said.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Planned Parenthood of Utah and the American Civil Liberties Union of Utah have filed a lawsuit over a state law banning nearly all abortions, contending it violates the state constitution.
The organizations filed the lawsuit over Utah's trigger law in state court on Saturday, Salt Lake City television station KUTV reported. The trigger law, passed in 2020, automatically went into effect after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the landmark abortion rights case Roe v. Wade on Friday.
In the lawsuit, Planned Parenthood says the law violates the Utah constitution, which “serves as an independent source of rights for Utahns.”
The law bans abortions except to avert death or irreversible impairment to the pregnant person. Utah's law also allows abortions in some cases where the fetus has a “severe brain abnormality” or when the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest, if a doctor has verified the incident was reported to police.
Under the law, anyone found guilty of performing an abortion could face up to 15 years in prison.
“If left in place, the Criminal Abortion Ban will be catastrophic for Utahns,” Planned Parenthood and the ACLU wrote in the lawsuit. “The Act will force some Utahns seeking abortion to instead carry pregnancies to term against their will, with all of the physical, emotional, and financial costs that entails.”

WATERTOWN, S.D. (AP) — South Dakota Republicans looking to regroup after the impeachment and conviction of the GOP attorney general gave their support for the job Saturday to a man with extensive experience in leading state and federal law enforcement agencies.
Delegates at the Republican convention in Watertown also bounced an incumbent.
The group kicked off selections for key state offices by choosing Marty Jackley to run for attorney general over Division of Criminal Investigation Director David Natvig. Jackley served as the state’s attorney general for about a decade and the state’s U.S. attorney for three years.
Jackley was succeeded in his last stint as attorney general by Jason Ravnsborg, who removed from office last week after the Senate heard testimony of his conduct in a fatal car crash. Ravnsborg had announced shortly before his impeachment trial that he would not seek a second term.
The day featured one upset.
Delegates denied Secretary of State Steve Barnett the opportunity for a second term. Monae Johnson won easily in a campaign where she stressed her opposition to online voting, online voter registration and online registration updates.
Johnson said Saturday that “election integrity is all on our hearts on minds.”
Lt. Gov. Larry Rhoden held off a late entry into the race, former House Speaker Steve Haugaard, to earn another run. Gov. Kristi Noem had defeated Haugaard in the Republican primary election for governor three weeks ago 76% to 24%.

LONDON (AP) — The World Health Organization said the escalating monkeypox outbreak in more than 50 countries should be closely monitored but does not warrant being declared a global health emergency.
In a statement Saturday, a WHO emergency committee said many aspects of the outbreak were “unusual” and acknowledged that monkeypox — which is endemic in some African countries — has been neglected for years.
“While a few members expressed differing views, the committee resolved by consensus to advise the WHO director-general that at this stage the outbreak should be determined to not constitute” a global health emergency, WHO said in a statement.
WHO nevertheless pointed to the “emergency nature” of the outbreak and said controlling its spread requires an "intense" response.
The committee said the outbreak should be “closely monitored and reviewed after a few weeks." But it would recommend a re-assessment before then if certain new developments emerge — such as cases among sex workers; spread to other countries or within countries that have already had cases; increased severity of cases; or an increasing rate of spread.
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreysus convened the emergency committee on Thursday after expressing concern about the epidemic of monkeypox in countries that haven't previously reported the disease.
“What makes the current outbreak especially concerning is the rapid, continuing spread into new countries and regions and the risk of further, sustained transmission into vulnerable populations including people that are immunocompromised, pregnant women and children,” the WHO chief said.
Monkeypox has sickened people for decades in central and west Africa, but until last month, the disease had not been known to cause significant outbreaks in multiple countries at the same time and involving people with no travel links to the continent.
Declaring a global health emergency means that a health crisis is an “extraordinary” event requiring a globally-managed response and that a disease is at high risk of spilling across borders. WHO previously made similar declarations for diseases including COVID-19, Ebola in Congo and West Africa, Zika in Brazil and the ongoing effort to wipe out polio.
The emergency declaration mostly serves as a plea to draw more global resources and attention to an outbreak. Past announcements have had mixed impact, given that WHO is largely powerless when trying to convince countries to act.
WHO said this week it has confirmed more than 3,200 monkeypox infections in about 40 countries that haven’t previously reported the disease. The vast majority of cases are in men who are gay, bisexual or have sex with other men and more than 80% of the cases are in Europe.
A leading WHO adviser said last month the spike in cases in Europe was likely tied to sexual activity by men at two raves in Spain and Belgium, speculating that its appearance in the gay and bisexual community was a “random event.” British officials have said most cases in the U.K. involve men who reported having sex with other men in venues such as saunas and sex clubs.
Scientists warn that anyone in close, physical contact with someone infected with monkeypox or their clothing or bedsheets is at risk of catching the disease, regardless of their sexual orientation.
People with monkeypox often experience symptoms like fever, body aches and a rash; most recover within weeks without needing medical care.
Monkeypox in Africa mostly affects people who come into contact with infected wild animals, like rodents or primates. There has been about 1,500 reported cases of monkeypox, including 70 deaths, in Congo, Cameroon and the Central African Republic.
To date, scientists haven’t found any mutations in the monkeypox virus that suggest it’s more transmissible or lethal, although the number of changes detected show the virus has likely been spreading undetected for years.
The version of the disease transmitting beyond Africa typically has a fatality rate of less than 1%, while the version seen in Africa can kill up to 10% of people affected.
WHO is also creating a vaccine-sharing mechanism for monkeypox, which could see vaccines go to rich countries like Britain, which currently has the biggest outbreak beyond Africa.
Some experts warned that could entrench the deep inequities seen between rich and poor countries during the coronavirus pandemic.
“France, Germany, the U.S. and U.K. already have a lot of resources and plenty of vaccines to deal with this and they don’t need vaccines from WHO,” said Dr. Irwin Redlener, an expert in disaster preparedness and response at Columbia University.
“What we should be doing is trying to help the countries in Africa where monkeypox has been endemic and largely neglected,” he said. “Monkeypox is not COVID, but our attention should not be so distorted that it only becomes a problem when it is seen in rich countries.”

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A group of Louisville area women won not one but two national senior volleyball titles last month. Many played in college and the success of the team known as “Shades of Gray” has come in large part from decades of playing together.
"We laugh at each other, we joke with each other and some of us, 30 years, easily, right out of college," said player/coach Denise Ranney. "It's kind of amazing when you think about it. Some people don't even have friends for that long and we're playing volleyball for that long together."
Knowing each other and each other's games went a long way toward taking the 50 and over National Title at the National Senior Games in Fort Lauderdale in mid-May and then following that up a couple of weeks later at the USA Volleyball national championships in Orlando. That event is really more international. "Shades of Gray" beat a team from Brazil in the final after trailing 9-0 in game one of the best of three.
"I called a time out and we just started laughing," said Ranney. "We came back and beat them 25-22. And I think it was just that everybody made their mistake. They knew we had to play better and we pulled together and played better. So I don't think you do that if you pull in people from everywhere. I think that's just the knowledge of us playing together."
"To be able to play with each other and learn each other's habits on the court, you don't have to work on that when you get together a few days before the tournament," said Kim Weitlauf. "We kind of already know."
"We're all very comfortable with each other," said Connie Hulsmeyer. "There's no learning curve where you have to get used to how each other plays and especially with Denise as a setter, where her hitters like her sets. We know where she's going to set the ball and it just makes things that much smoother."
Ranney said another key to this team's success is that all these women are as competitive as she is.
"The goal is to win," said Ranney. "You sacrifice your body and you do what it takes to win. I think that's why we've played so long. We all have that same mentality."
And the hope to keep playing, and winning for as long as they can.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Medical examiners in West Virginia have released the names of six people killed in the crash of a Vietnam-era helicopter that gave tour rides.
The aircraft crashed Wednesday during its last planned flight at an annual reunion for helicopter enthusiasts in Logan County. All six people aboard were killed.
The state's chief medical examiner released the names of the victims on Saturday. They are: John Nagle, 53, of Austin, Texas; Donald Sandhoff, 69, of Durham, North Carolina; Kevin Warren, 51, of Franklin, Tennessee; Carolyn O’Connor, 73, of Winter Garden, Florida; and Marvin Bledsoe, 64, and Jack Collins, 65, both of Chapmanville, West Virginia.
Rides on the Vietnam-era Bell UH-1B “Huey” helicopter were offered by the organizer of the reunion, MARPAT Aviation, according to the National Transportation Safety Board.
The flight crashed about 3.7 miles (6 kilometers) northeast of the Logan County Airport. Much of the wreckage was consumed in a fire that followed the crash, the agency said.
During the reunion event, visitors could sign up to ride or fly the historic helicopter, described by organizers as one of the last of its kind still flying.
The helicopter was flown by the 114th Assault Helicopter Company, “The Knights of the Sky,” in Vinh Long, Vietnam, throughout much of the 1960s, according to MARPAT. After the Huey returned to the U.S., it was featured in movies like “Die Hard, “The Rock” and “Under Siege: Dark Territory.”

BETHESDA, Md. (AP) — In Gee Chun shot a 3-over 75 on Saturday to take a three-stroke lead into the final round of the Women's PGA Championship.
On a day when Congressional Country Club gave the leaders plenty of trouble, Chun was holding her own until she made a double bogey on the par-5 16th hole. The two-time major champion from South Korea led by five shots after the first round and six at the halfway point, but that 36-hole advantage has been cut in half. She had an 8-under 208 total.
Lydia Ko (76) and Jennifer Kupcho (74) — Chun's playing partners — had their own problems, but Lexi Thompson and Hye-Jin Choi both shot 70 and were tied for second with Sei Young Kim (71) at 5 under.
Chun bogeyed Nos. 1 and 11 but birdied 2 and 12. She had a five-shot lead when she had to play her third shot from some tall grass on the 16th. That shot put her in even more trouble, in an area with tall grass and some thick trees. She took an unplayable lie and went back to the previous spot to re-hit.
Chun hit an 8-iron and sent the ball over the green, but she did manage to get up and down for a 7. Ko wasn't able to take advantage of Chun's mishap. She bogeyed four of five holes during one stretch on the front nine, then birdied four of the next seven. She wrapped up the round with four straight bogeys.
Kupcho had three birdies and three bogeys in the first seven holes and couldn't gain much ground on the leader.
Kim had a comparatively drama-free round with two birdies and a bogey. Thompson made three birdies on the back nine, including a putt from about 30 feet on No. 15.
Hannah Green (72) was fifth at 4 under, a stroke ahead of Atthaya Thitikul (68), who was so far behind at the start of the day she was in one of the groups sent off on No. 10. Brooke Henderson (73), Kupcho and Jennifer Chang (73) were tied sixth with Thitikul.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Iván Herrera hit a tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the eighth inning for his first career RBI and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Chicago Cubs 5-3 Saturday.
Juan Yepez lined a one-out double to the left field wall off Cubs reliever Mark Leiter Jr. (1-2) in the eighth, and pinch-runner Edmundo Sosa advanced to third on a wild pitch before scoring the go-ahead run on Herrera’s fly.
Harrison Bader advanced to second on Herrera’s out and scored on Tommy Edman’s single to right field to extend the lead to 5-3.
Ryan Helsley (3-0) pitched 1 2/3 scoreless innings to lower his ERA to 0.31.
Miles Mikolas allowed one run on four hits while matching his season high of nine strikeouts. His 2.06 career ERA in 13 games (11 starts) against the Cubs leads all active pitchers with at least 10 starts.
Adrian Sampson allowed two runs when St. Louis strung together a trio of two-out hits in the first inning, but he gave up just one additional hit in his five innings of work.
Rafael Ortega belted his fourth home run of the season, a two-run shot off Giovanny Gallegos, in the eighth inning to tie it 3-all.
Brendan Donovan had a bloop single down the left field line in that first inning that scored Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado to give St. Louis a 2-0 lead.
Alfonso Rivas drove in Patrick Wisdom on a sacrifice fly to center field in the fifth inning to cut the Cubs deficit to 2-1.
Dylan Carlson stroked an RBI double to right field off Rowan Wick to score Arenado in the sixth inning to expand the Cardinals lead to 3-1.
HOME COOKING
Goldschmidt went 2 for 4 to boost his major league-leading home batting average to .395.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Cubs: RHP Marcus Stroman (right shoulder inflammation) threw approximately 40 pitches in a pregame bullpen session. He could throw a live batting practice session when the Cubs return home Tuesday.
Cardinals: LHP Génesis Cabrera was placed on the injured list with no designation. The club recalled RHP Jake Woodford from Triple-A Memphis.
UP NEXT
The Cubs and Cardinals wrap up their three-game series Sunday as RHP Alec Mills (0-1, 8.59 ERA) will make his first start of the season after pitching in five games out of the bullpen. He is 0-2 with a 4.26 ERA in seven career outings against St. Louis. RHP Jack Flaherty (0-0, 7.50 ERA) will make his third start after opening the season on the injured list with right shoulder inflammation.

PHOENIX (AP) — Tina Charles' stint in the desert was a short one.
The Phoenix Mercury announced Saturday they agreed to terms on a contract divorce with Charles after 18 games.
“After discussions with Tina and her agent, it was best for both parties to go our separate ways at this time," Mercury general manager Jom Pitman said. "Due to circumstances both in and out of our control, our season has not gone according to our plan, and we will continue to pursue all avenues for improvement.”
The WNBA's leading scorer last season, Charles signed with Phoenix in February, a day after the Mercury added Diamond DeShields in a three-team trade with Chicago and New York. The additions were expected to give the Mercury a huge boost to a roster that already had Diana Taurasi, Britney Griner and Skylar Diggins-Smith.
Griner has been detained in Russia since Feb. 17 after authorities at an airport outside of Moscow said she had vape cartridges containing cannabis oil in her bag.
The Mercury have struggled with injuries and without Griner in the lineup, entering Saturday's game against Dallas near the bottom of the standings at 6-12 after reaching the WNBA finals last season.
Charles, the 2012 WNBA MVP, was Phoenix's second-leading scorer at 17.3 points per game while grabbing 7.3 rebounds.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Isaac Paredes hit a solo homer in the eighth inning and a two-run single with two outs in the ninth, sending the Tampa Bay Rays to a 6-5 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday.
Ji-Man Choi and Vidal Bruján reached on two-out walks before Jonathan Aranda's pinch-hit single loaded the bases against David Bednar (3-2). Paredes then hit an opposite-field liner to right for his game-ending single.
“Very happy,” Paredes said through a translator. “I was very confident going into that at-bat.”
Paredes' teammate celebrated by dumping two containers of sports drink and then a bucket of ice on him in front of the Rays dugout after his hit on an 0-2 pitch.
“He's fun to watch,” Rays manager Kevin Cash said. “Certainly picked us up in a big way.”
Pirates manager Derek Shelton said Bednar “just didn’t execute pitches."
“He ended up having two walks and that’s very uncharacteristic of him,” Shelton said. “We were one pitch away multiple times in that inning and were not able to finish it.”
Paredes got the Rays within one in the eighth with his team-leading 10th homer — all over his last 25 games. He has gone deep five times in his last three games.
Ralph Garza Jr. (1-2) worked two scoreless innings for the win in Tampa Bay's fourth straight one-run game. It also was a Rays-record 11th consecutive game decided by two or fewer runs.
Jack Suwinski hit a three-run homer for the Pirates. JT Brubaker allowed three runs and nine hits in six innings.
Jalen Beeks replaced Tampa Bay's Corey Kluber with one out in the sixth. The lefty walked Daniel Vogelbach and allowed Bligh Madris’ single that struck an overhanging catwalk before Suwinski connected for his 12th homer.
Suwinski also made a nifty catch along the short wall in left on Luke Raley's foul ball in the bottom of the sixth.
Kluber allowed two runs and five hits. He was coming off a pair of losses when the right-hander gave up two runs and four hits over six innings in both starts.
Tampa Bay went up 3-2 on Randy Arozarena’s RBI double. Arozarena finished with four hits.
Bruján's two-run single with two out in the first gave the Rays a 2-0 lead.
Diego Castillo homered and Bryan Reynolds hit an RBI single as the Pirates tied it at 2 in the third. Castillo has gone deep five times in his last 11 games, including Friday night’s 4-3, 10-inning loss to the Rays.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Pirates: 3B Ke’Bryan Hayes missed his second consecutive game due to shoulder soreness. He was hurt in a collision at the plate while scoring the winning run in the 10th inning against the Chicago Cubs on Thursday.
Rays: Cash is hopeful that INF Wander Franco (right quadriceps strain) will return Sunday after missing 23 games. ... RHP Drew Rasmussen (left hamstring strain) could rejoin the rotation in the next week.
OTHER STUFF
First base umpire Angel Hernandez had his out call on Brett Phillips’ second-inning grounder overturned after a video review. ... Shortstop Taylor Walls, who entered batting .161, hit leadoff for the Rays and had two hits. ... Denny McLain, the major’s last 30-game winner (31-6 with the Detroit Tigers in 1968), was at the game. ... Madris had three hits. ... The Pirates dropped to 24-2 when leading after eight innings, while Tampa Bay improved to 3-26 when trailing entering the ninth. ... Bednar threw 15 strikes and 14 balls and reached 3-ball counts on his first four batters. ““It’s just frustrating,” Bednar said.
UP NEXT
Pirates right-hander Roansy Contreras (2-1) and Rays left-hander Shane McClanahan (7-3) are Sunday’s starters. McClanahan is among the leaders in baseball with an 1.81 ERA and 113 strikeouts.

NORWALK, Ohio (AP) — Ron Capps took the No. 1 position in Funny Car qualifying at Summit Racing Equipment Motorsports Park for the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals.
The defending series champion coming off a victory last week at Bristol, Tennessee, Capps had a run of 3.901 seconds at 328.38 mph Friday in his Toyota GR Supra that stood up Saturday.
“It was a great job by our team,” Capps said. “We’re going to have cloud cover tomorrow and it’s going to be fast, and you’re going to see a lot of great side-by-side racing. To get that No. 1, these are so hard to get. It’s going to be a dogfight tomorrow and a lot of fun, and we’re looking forward to it.”
Brittany Force took the top spot in Top Fuel, Erica Enders in Pro Stock and Eddie Krawiec in Pro Stock Motorcycle. Force had a track-record run of 3.666 at 333.08 on Friday. Enders ran a 6.537 at 210.11 in a Camaro on Friday, and Krawiec rode to his 50th career No. 1 on Saturday with a 6.798 at 199.05 on a Suzuki.

BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Elation, devastation, relief and shock.
United States swimmer Justin Ress went through all the emotions after winning his first individual gold medal on the last day of racing at the world swimming championships on Saturday.
As quick as he won the men’s 50-meter backstroke final — 24.12 seconds — it seemed to him the medal was taken away just as quickly.
Ress finished two-hundredths of a second in front of teammate Hunter Armstrong but was disqualified for allegedly being submerged at the finish.
Armstrong was awarded gold, the 17-year-old Ksawery Masiuk of Poland was bumped up to silver and Italy star Thomas Ceccon handed the bronze.
Armstrong — who set the world record of 23.71 at team trials in April — wiped tears away after the medal ceremony. It was his first individual gold medal at these championships.
Meanwhile, Ress was still in shock, trying to comprehend why he was stripped of the gold.
Only after all the other races were completed did FINA announce that the disqualification was overturned. There was no explanation, no words of contrition for Ress.
Coming through a lonely mixed zone with his gold medal hanging over his chest afterward, Ress still seemed to be overwhelmed by the drama of his last day at the worlds.
“It was shock the whole time,” Ress said of his initial reaction to being disqualified. “Twenty minutes I was just in the chair in the team room, just paralyzed, shocked I got DQ'ed. And then, obviously the overturns rarely happen, so I pretty much lost all hope.”
U.S. team manager Lindsay Mintenko hadn’t lost hope, however, and she pushed officials to review their decision. The officials showed her frame-by-frame footage of Ress’ finish to back up their case.
“There’s no reason for officials if you’re going to look at a frame-by-frame review of the DQ. That finish was definitely my best finish of the meet,” Ress said.
Eventually, it seems, the officials agreed.
“When they told me it got overturned, it was 20 more minutes of shock that it had been overturned,” Ress said. “But then, you know, on top of that, there’s just all this sadness, anger and, I think that’s probably the worst possible way a race could go.”
Ress said if he had finished eighth he would have been “bummed” that he didn’t get a medal or perform as well as he could have.
“But I’ve learned that it’s not about the results, it’s about the journey. But when it goes down like that, you know, winning, you think you’ve won for a couple of minutes, and then see the DQ, it’s just devastating,” Ress said.
The confusion put his whole offseason “into a nice little bow tie.” Last December, Ress mulled retiring from swimming before he moved from North Carolina to California.
“I knew if I wanted to keep swimming, I had to make a move,” he said.
That move evidently paid off with his first individual world title, eventually.
“I think a FINA official told me this is the first time it ever happened,” Ress said, referring to the event’s slogan. “They have the words ‘make history’ everywhere. So I guess I made history.”
