Record high temperatures in many parts of the United States have contributed to major stress on plants, animals and humans. The extreme heat, coupled with a lack of rainfall, has caused problems with Arizona's iconic saguaro cacti. SEE MORE: Extreme heat expected to be costly, especially in Texas The Desert Botanical Garden in Arizona said that the condition of its cacti have been affected because of the lack of precipitation and record high sustained heat conditions. Temperatures in Phoenix have held above 100 degrees Fahrenheit for weeks. On Monday night temperatures calmed down, hovering in the 80s after much needed rain visited the area. Experts say the high heat puts excessive stress on the cacti, despite their ability to survive in desert climates. While they might experience some respite during the night in the cooler desert air, extreme heat during the day can tend to suffocate the cacti, experts say. The saguaro cactus is native to the Sonoran Desert and are considered giants among cactus species. The area's Tohono O’odham nation considers the iconic cactus not as plants, but as respected members of their group, the National Parks Service writes. They can grow at altitudes of up to 4,000 feet above sea level. "Saguaro forests" are seen in more abundance around the Ajo Mountain Drive area of Arizona. But experts say that continued hikes in heat over time could cause new generations of the cactus giants not to be able to grow at all. Trending stories at Scrippsnews.com

Yellow Corp., one of the largest freight companies in the U.S., said it was closing operations and filing for bankruptcy on Monday.

One of the largest trucking companies in the country shut down over the weekend, leaving tens of thousands of people without jobs at the start of the work week. The Teamsters Union said Monday that Yellow Corp. informed them the 99-year-old company was shuttering operations and filing for bankruptcy, despite receiving a $700 million pandemic loan just three years ago. Scripps News reached out to Yellow to confirm but did not hear back. No bankruptcy filings have gone live yet. Yellow employs 30,000 people nationwide including 22,000 union workers. But one worker in Nashville says he arrived at work without hearing anything about the status of his job. "They haven't told us they're out of business yet, they haven't told us what they're doing, filing bankruptcy or whatever," said Danny Smallridge. "I'm in pretty good shape myself and I know I'll be taken care of but a lot of my union brothers and sisters — they're not in the same boat as I am and that's heartbreaking. Shame on the company." Another worker went viral over the weekend after a video showed his emotional reaction to learning he'd leave Yellow with no pension despite spending 30 years on the job. In a statement, Teamsters president Sean O'Brien called the news "unfortunate but not surprising." He added Yellow "has historically proven that it could not manage itself despite billions of dollars in worker concessions and hundreds of millions in bailout funding from the federal government. This is a sad day for workers and the American freight industry,” SEE MORE: Lumber prices could surge again due to too few lumber workers Yellow is the nation's third largest carrier of small freight, earning $5 billion in revenue a year, according to its website, serving major customers like Walmart and Home Depot. But after a series of failed cost-cutting measures to stay afloat, Yellow saw customers leave in droves. According to the Associated Press, the company is now $1.5 billion in debt with $729.2 million owed to the federal government. This, despite the government handing Yellow a $700 million pandemic loan just three years ago. Mike Regan, the co-founder of TranzAct technologies, which helps companies manage their supply chains, says Yellow used most of that money to round out pension plans and extend the life of its equipment. But in June, a congressional investigation found the Treasury and Defense departments "made missteps" in giving Yellow the loan, with auditors calling the handout "reactive at best" and saying it "may not be the best course of action to protect taxpayer funds." Regan says Yellow's problems arose decades ago after the company acquired rival companies and put them under one roof. "When they bought Roadway, it was like having the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears come together to form a football team. You had basically people that competed against each other, were enemies, then you brought them together and said 'we're going to play nice,'" he said. "If you don't have your culture synchronized, I don't care what your strategy is, it's not going to work because you have disparate parties." SEE MORE: Wage and salary increases in the US slowed down He added that problems worsened when Yellow tried to reduce its debt and eliminate financial redundancies by shutttering 24 of its 300 truck terminals. Regan says that considering some of the locations were as valuable as $80 million, it could've helped the company with some of its money troubles. But Teamsters, which was angered by the course of action, said the move would lead to unnecessary job cuts. Regan says Yellow's latest setback came from the threat of a union strike over health care benefits when the company missed a $50 million welfare and pension fund payment. Teamsters said they'd strike if Yellow didn't make the payment. "That basically was the death knell for Yellow because if you're a shipper, one of the things that you don't want to do is have freight trapped in a system when the carrier's not operating," said Regan. The shutdown could mean shipping delays for consumer because many shippers relied solely on Yellow's vast terminal network to move is products. "In the LTL (Less-than-truckload) industry, your capacity is driven by your terminal network, the amount of doors that you have available to clear freight," said Regan. "The reason this is a big deal for shippers is because some shippers had Yellow [as their] one carrier. Well, they may take three or four carriers now to replace that Yellow volume because of the network." Regan says more carriers sharing doors could mean greater delays, leading to price increases to make up for the gap. Trending stories at Scrippsnews.com

A Japanese man spent $14,000 to become a Border Collie.

Don't be fooled by the furry exterior: Some dogs aren't all what they seem. In fact, one isn't even a dog at all. It's a conundrum making the rounds online after a Japanese man wearing a hyper-realistic Border Collie outfit took a stroll outdoors and posted a YouTube video of the excursion, garnering more than 4.6 million views in the 10 days it's been online. The footage was filmed last year for an interview with a German TV station according to the video description, and the dog/man, identified only as Toco, released it to the public this month after getting permission to post it. The video under the account name "I want to be an animal" shows Toco getting pets around town while walking on four legs in the costume. In a video posted last year, Toco said he had "a vague dream of becoming an animal" ever since he was a child and that he chose to become a collie because it's his favorite breed and is larger in size, comparable to a human. This childhood dream prompted him to spend around $14,000 to have specialist costume company Zeppet create the outfit in 2022. The Japanese company is known for creating models and suits for films and commercials, but this was a custom, personal order, according to its website. Zeppet's site also lists personal comments Toco made during and after the 40-day building process. "I suppose creating a four-legged model for a two-legged human is extremely tricky, as our skeletal structure is quite different from canines," Toco said upon completion of the project. "I was therefore naturally worried about how it would turn out. After various trials and errors of the studio, however, the final result was brilliant and very satisfactory." But despite the long-lived goal and its online virality, Toco still hopes to remain anonymous behind his animal persona. In an interview with the Mirror, he said, "I rarely tell my friends because I am afraid they will think I am weird. My friends and family seemed very surprised to learn I became an animal." And comments on the recent YouTube video seem to echo his fears. While some users were curious and supportive, others were concerned, with one user saying "I've worked with animals for 15 years now and this is the creepiest animal related thing I've ever seen."

The two-story building at 3145 Cass Avenue was deemed dangerous and unsafe before it was torn down over the weekend. But to many Chinese Americans in Metro Detroit, it was part of the foundation of their history. Carolyn Chin Watson's grandparents owned a restaurant in the former Chinatown district on Cass Avenue. DETROIT – The two-story building at 3145 Cass Avenue in Detroit was deemed dangerous and unsafe before it was torn down over the weekend. But to many Chinese Americans in Metro Detroit, it was part of the foundation of their history. Carolyn Chin Watson’s grandparents owned a restaurant in the former Chinatown district on Cass Avenue. “It was honestly the only source of income, and for immigrant families, you don’t speak English, you don’t have the education, you can’t get a job elsewhere. This was their livelihood,” she said. This property was purchased by the Chinese American Merchants Association in 1963. The AAPI nonprofit American Citizens for Justice got its start here. “This was really a social center, a place for people in the community to hang out,” American Citizens for Justice president Roland Hwang said. Over the weekend, demolition ordered by the city’s Buildings, Safety Engineering, and Environmental Department got underway. The property is owned by Olympia Development of Michigan. Preservationists, Chinese Americans, and other community members were hoping to delay demolition to see if the building could be saved. The city council even approved a resolution to delay. “That unfortunately hasn’t happened and now we are here today to see this,” Detroit City Council member Gabriela Santiago-Romero said. Now they’re pushing for any development of this property to pay homage to its past. “There needs to be conversation between the Asian American community and the city and Olympia to make sure there is space in this place to remember our history,” Santiago-Romero said. Chin Watson agrees. “I would love to see this become a vibrant community center,” she said. Local 4 reached out to Olympic Development about the future of the property on Cass. A spokesperson referred Local 4 to a statement from the Buildings, Safety Engineering, and Environmental Department detailing why the building needed to come down.

It was hard for Bill to say goodbye to employees and customers who loved grabbing a dog on a Home Depot trip. Bill tried retirement it did not fit, so he started to hound Home Depot to let him back in, and they did.

Health care providers in Alabama have filed lawsuits against state Attorney General Steve Marshall over threats to prosecute people who help women arrange abortions outside the state.

FILE - Protesters for women's rights march to the Alabama Capitol to protest a law passed the week before making abortion a felony in nearly all cases with no exceptions for cases of rape or incest, Sunday, May 19, 2019, in Montgomery, Ala. Health care providers and an abortion assistance fund in Alabama filed a lawsuit against state Attorney General Steve Marshall, Monday, July 31, 2023, over threats to prosecute people who help women arrange abortions outside the state. (AP Photo/Butch Dill, File) MONTGOMERY, Ala. – Abortion rights advocates in Alabama — where abortion is almost entirely illegal — filed lawsuits Monday against the state’s attorney general seeking to prevent him from prosecuting people who help patients travel outside the state to end pregnancies. The groups say Attorney General Steve Marshall has made statements suggesting that anti-conspiracy laws could be used to prosecute those who assist with appointments or finances. The two lawsuits seek a legal ruling clarifying that the state can’t use the statute for these prosecutions. One lawsuit was filed by the Yellowhammer Fund, a group that stopped providing financial assistance to low-income abortions patients because of the prosecution concerns. The other was filed by an obstetrician and two former abortion clinics that continue to provide contraception and other health services. “What the attorney general has tried to do via these threats is to effectively extend Alabama’s abortion ban outside of its borders for Alabama residents,” said Meagan Burrows, a lawyer with the American Civil Liberties Union, which is representing the providers in the lawsuit. In a separate case, advocacy groups and an attorney sued Idaho earlier this month over a law that makes it illegal to help minors travel to another state to get an abortion without their parents’ consent. Marshall has not prosecuted anyone for providing abortion assistance, but he has made statements saying that his office would “look at” groups that provide help. “Attorney General Marshall will continue to vigorously enforce Alabama laws protecting unborn life which include the Human Life Protection Act. That includes abortion providers conspiring to violate the Act,” Marshall’s office said in an emailed response to the lawsuit. His office did not respond to an email asking to clarify if actions such as providing financial assistance could be prosecuted. The comments have had a “disturbing chilling effect” on abortion rights advocates and providers, who already feel like they live with a legal target on their back, said Kelsea McLain, deputy director of Yellowhammer. “We believe it’s our right and our freedom to support people in leaving the state if they need to because the state no longer takes care of their needs,” she said. The provider suit was filed by the West Alabama Women’s Center in Tuscaloosa, the Alabama Women’s Center in Huntsville, and Dr. Yashica Robinson, an obstetrician. Robinson said she once made referrals for patients seeking abortions, coordinating medically complex health histories, but no longer does so because of the fear of prosecution. “Tragically, banning abortion in Alabama seems to not have been enough,” Robinson said in a statement. “Those in power want to muzzle providers like me to prevent us from sharing information with our pregnant patients about the options they have.” The phone rings at least once a day at the former clinic in Tuscaloosa as women — sometimes crying and often desperate — try to find where they can go in other states to end an unwanted pregnancy, the clinic director said. “We get a lot of the anger — and we know that it’s not us that they are angry at,” said Robin Marty, operations director for the West Alabama Women’s Center. “It’s the situation, but it is very, very hard for my staff. They want to be able to help them.” After the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and handed authority on abortion law to the states, the Deep South quickly became an area of limited abortion access. Alabama bans abortion at any stage of pregnancy with no exceptions for rape and incest. The only exemption is if it’s needed because pregnancy seriously threatens the pregnant patient's health. Nineteen states have enacted restrictions and many southern states have near complete bans. Marty said that means women often have to travel long distances to receive care, which can bring financial and logistical hardship. Marty said most people who reach out to the clinic know “there is no abortion in Alabama. What they aren’t aware of is how far that extends.”

Part of the 2019 Auto Reform Bill has been ruled unconstitutional by the Michigan Supreme Court. The bill reduced catastrophic care reimbursements, cutting benefits for 18,000 patients. It's the corner of the auto insurance repeal we've heard so much about over the past four years. Part of the 2019 Auto Reform Bill has been ruled unconstitutional by the Michigan Supreme Court. The bill reduced catastrophic care reimbursements, cutting benefits for 18,000 patients. It’s the corner of the auto insurance repeal we’ve heard so much about over the past four years. So many severely injured people needing constant medical care either had less of that or lost it entirely when their provider went out of business. It was all smiles four years ago on Mackinac Island when the Michigan Legislature and Governor Gretchen Whitmer came together to reduce auto insurance premiums. Read: 25 years since Red Wings limo crash, former players reflect on tragic night But the bill hasn’t entirely passed muster with the Supreme Court or even drivers as costs are still high and going up, and now the cornerstone of reducing catastrophic care costs for those injured prior to July of 2019 has upended. Former Detroit Red Wings legend Vladimir Konstantinov was affected by the decision. Barry Cargill of the Homecare and Hospice Association called it an important ruling for him and thousands more. “It certainly is a big day for the homecare providers out there, the medical providers who provide essential services to these catastrophically injured patients, but the real victory is for the catastrophically injured,” said Cargill. “It’s been devastating, financially, emotionally, it’s been mentally draining,” said Chalisse Wilson. Wilson is responsible for caring for her brother, Clarence, who was a person with quadriplegia after a 2008 car accident. He’s on a ventilator and needs 24-hour care. Some of which he’s had to go without, causing Chalisse to have to pick up a lot of the slack. She is overjoyed at the Supreme Court’s ruling. “There is no longer the worry that the home care agency may call me at any day and say we can’t continue to do this because we can’t sustain it,” Chalisse said. “It means the world.” The Insurance Alliance of Michigan had a vastly different take in a statement that said: “Today, the court let down consumers across Michigan and opened the floodgates for overcharging for medical procedures and higher rates. You can’t reasonably expect to save Michigan drivers money while obliterating a key cost-control measure like the fee schedule. What medical providers charge for services and prescribe for care, above and beyond what’s medically necessary, can be controlled and has proven to reduce the cost of auto insurance.”

The United Nations chief has welcomed Kenya’s offer to “positively consider” leading a multinational police force to help combat Haiti’s gangs and improve security in the violence-wracked Caribbean nation.

National Police patrol during an anti-gang operation in the Tabare neighborhood of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Tuesday, July 25, 2023. (AP Photo/Odelyn Joseph) TANZANIA – The United Nations chief on Monday welcomed Kenya’s offer to “positively consider” leading a multinational police force to help combat Haiti’s gangs and improve security in the violence-wracked Caribbean nation. Haiti’s Prime Minister Ariel Henry sent an urgent appeal last October for “the immediate deployment of a specialized armed force, in sufficient quantity” to stop the gangs. U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres has been appealing unsuccessfully since then for a lead nation to help restore order to Latin America’s most impoverished country. Kenya’s Foreign Ministry said Saturday said its offer includes a commitment to send 1,000 police to help train and assist the Haitian National Police “restore normalcy in the country and protect strategic installations.” The ministry said it was responding to a request from the Friends of Haiti group of nations. “Kenya stands with persons of African descent across the world, including those in the Caribbean, and aligns with the African Union’s diaspora policy and our own commitment to Pan Africanism, and in this case to `reclaiming of the Atlantic crossing,’” the ministry said. Haiti's gangs have grown in power since the July 7, 2021 assassination of President Jovenel Moïse and are now estimated to control up to 80% of the capital. The surge in killings, rapes and kidnappings has led to a violent uprising by civilian vigilante groups. U.N. deputy spokesman Farhan Haq said Guterres “welcomes Kenya’s positive response to his call” and expresses gratitude to Kenya for its “solidarity." The secretary-general calls on the U.N. Security Council to support a non-U.N. multinational operation in Haiti “and encourages member states, particularly from the region, to join forces from Kenya” in supporting the country's police, Haq said. Kenya’s Foreign Ministry said its proposed deployment will crystalize once the Security Council adopts a resolution giving a mandate for the force, and other Kenyan constitutional processes are undertaken. A Kenyan task force plans to undertake an assessment mission to Haiti within the next few weeks which “will inform and guide the mandate and operational requirements of the mission,” it said. Haiti's Foreign Minister Jean Victor Généus said: “Haiti appreciates this expression of African solidarity, and looks forward to welcoming Kenya’s proposed evaluation mission in the coming weeks.” Guterres, who visited Haiti in early July, called afterward for a robust international force to help the Haitian National Police “defeat and dismantle the gangs.” He said the estimate by the U.N. independent expert for Haiti, William O’Neill, that up to 2,000 additional anti-gang police officers are needed is no exaggeration. O’Neill, who concluded a 10-day trip to Haiti in July, is an American lawyer who has been working on Haiti for over 30 years and helped establish the Haitian National Police in 1995. The Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution on July 14 asking Guterres to come up with “a full range of options” within 30 days to help combat Haiti’s armed gangs, including a non-U.N. multinational force, a possible U.N. peacekeeping force, additional training for the Haitian National Police and providing support to combat illegal arms trafficking to the country. Compounding the gang warfare, which has spread outside the capital, is the country’s political crisis: Haiti was stripped of all democratically elected institutions when the terms of the country’s remaining 10 senators expired in early January. The Security Council resolution, co-sponsored by the United States and Ecuador, “strongly urges” all countries to prohibit the supply, sale or transfer of weapons to anyone supporting gang violence and criminal activities. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke to Kenyan President William Ruto on Monday including about Kenya’s positive consideration to leading a multinational force in Haiti, State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said. The United States takes over the rotating presidency of the U.N. Security Council for August on Tuesday, and Miller said the U.S. and Ecuador, as a first step, are going to introduce a resolution to authorize a non-U.N. multinational mission. The second step is an assessment mission by Kenya, “which they plan to do in the coming days,” and then there will be talks with other countries about what additional assistance is needed, he said. "We are committed to finding the resources to support this multinational force,” Miller said. “We’ve been a large humanitarian donor to relief efforts in Haiti for some time, and we have worked behind the scenes to find the lead nation to run this multinational force and are pleased that that has been successful.” ___ Ellen Knickmeyer contributed to this report from Washington and Evelyne Musambi from Nairobi

Even if the free agent market didn't go as planned for Dalton Risner, the pride of Wiggins, Colorado can still wind up with a great situation in 2023.

The Broncos' starting left guard the previous four years, there's a chance the Wiggins product will reunite with offensive line coach Chris Kuper. ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Even if the free agent market didn't go as planned for Dalton Risner, the pride of Wiggins, Colorado can still wind up with a great situation in 2023. Risner is flying Monday night to Minnesota for a visit with the Vikings, a source tells 9NEWS. The Vikings offensive line coach is Chris Kuper and assistant offensive line coach is Justin Rascati -- both of whom coached Risner from 2019-2021. The Broncos' second-round draft pick in 2019 -- taken one slot ahead of quarterback Drew Lock -- Risner started all four years at left guard for the team. He was durable, too, starting all but four of a possible 66 games. A free agent after the 2022 season, Risner had interest from multiple teams but the dollars weren't there for guards as many expected. The Broncos spent the most on a guard in Ben Powers, the former Baltimore Raven who was signed to a $13 million a year contract to replace Risner at left guard. There are three other teams who still have interest in Risner, according to a source, but the Vikings would seem to have the advantage as of Monday evening. The Vikings under first-year head coach Kevin O'Connell and veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins finished 13-4 last season to win the NFC North Division. SUGGESTED VIDEOS: Sports

The Utah Utes are among the strongest brands in the Pac-12 conference, should they stay with a sinking ship or follow Colorado and join the Big 12?

The Pac-12 can withstand the loss of Colorado on its own, but the primary concern is if other programs will follow suit. SALT LAKE CITY — After 14 months of silence from the 10 Pac-12 schools following USC and UCLA's departure to the Big Ten, another domino finally fell last week when Colorado rejoined the Big 12. With no media rights deal announced, and no new members after things fell apart with San Diego State, the Pac-12 now finds themselves in an extremely precarious position with only nine member schools after 2024. Locked on Utes host JT Wistrcill broke down the state of the conference on a recent episode, including whether Utah should be in panic mode following the latest maneuver from Colorado. "The Pac-12 is not dead right now," Wistrcill said. "Anytime you have schools leaving your conference, that's not a good sign. But once again, the Pac-12 is not dead yet. It's not time to panic yet, there are still lots of strong teams still in the Pac-12." The Pac-12 can withstand the loss of Colorado on its own, but the primary concern is if other programs will follow suit. Arizona and Arizona State have long been rumored to follow Colorado to the Big 12, and Oregon and Washington aren't keen on hanging around a sinking ship if they can avoid it. Utah has had significant success on the gridiron the past few years, and with a healthy brand recognition, a solid media footprint in a big city in Salt Lake, and a sturdy alumni base, this is a program that should draw interest from other major conferences, should things fully fall apart in the conference of champions.

Friday Health Plans only had enough money to operate in Colorado through Aug. 31, state took it over to monitor claims

https%3A%2F%2Fwww.9news.com%2Farticle%2Fnews%2Fhealth%2Ffriday-heath-claim-closing-august%2F73-516a7bec-df80-4810-8397-9e7edf8329db.json

The state took over Friday Health Plans at the end of June and determined the company only had enough money to operate in Colorado through Aug. 31. Example video title will go here for this video COLORADO, USA — Katie Nelson thought it was a fluke when her pharmacist told her a prescription for her son’s continuous glucose monitor transmitter had been denied back in June. Her health insurance carrier, Friday Health Plans, had covered the prescription in full since her family’s coverage started in the beginning of January. The strange decision by the healthcare provider comes after an announcement earlier this month that Friday Health Plans will cease coverage in Colorado on Aug. 31, forcing 30,000 Coloradans who are covered by Friday Health Plans to find a new health insurance provider for coverage from Sept. 1 through the end of the year. “That left us to scramble and try and get new health insurance coverage,” Nelson said. Vince Plymell, a spokesman for Colorado’s Division of Insurance said the state wants to know about coverage issues in this final month of Friday Health Plan’s coverage. Consumers can file a complaint here. What happened to Friday Health Plans? Colorado’s Division of Insurance took over the struggling health insurance provider in late June under a rehabilitation agreement. At the time, Colorado’s insurance regulators were hoping to continue coverage for those insured by Friday Health Plans. “What happened is, essentially, it turned out that they didn't have enough money to continue for the remainder of 2023,” Plymell said. “The financial projections were worse than they had anticipated. So they weren't going to be able to finish out the year.” In mid-June, the division of insurance announced the health plan would stop coverage on Aug. 31 at 11:59 p.m., offerings an FAQ page that’s continually updated about the situation. The department has opened a special enrollment period for the 30,000 people impacted by the closure. What should you do if you’re insured by Friday Health Plans? The division of insurance encourages anyone impacted by the closure to log in to Connect for Health Colorado to pick a new provider to ensure they’re covered starting Sept. 1 through the end of the year. Nelson has already selected a new plan through Rocky Mountain Health Plans, the only of the options that would allow her son to see his same doctors, which is important as he suffers from Type 1 diabetes. But there’s one problem. “We’ve lost everything we paid into our deductible and all of that for this year,” Nelson said. According to the FAQ, the division of insurance requested that other companies honor the deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums that customers have paid so far this year. Only Kaiser has agreed to honor those deductibles. Denver Health is considering them. Anthem, Cigna and Rocky Mountain Health Plans don’t plan to honor the deductibles, according to the division of insurance. The state is still trying to determine how to make up the difference for those providers.

Broncos head coach Sean Payton offers no reaction to Aaron Rodgers' comeback statements. Moss, Clark out with illness.

Payton offers no reaction to Aaron Rodgers' comeback statements. Moss, Clark out with illness. Example video title will go here for this video ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Josey Jewell is too savvy, too professional and too darn busy to let a few developments surrounding him affect his job. A Broncos starting inside linebacker the previous five years, give or take an injury here and there, Jewell was crowned not only with the green dot as the defensive play-caller last year but a brand new two-year, $11 million contract that paid him a fully guaranteed $6 million in 2022. This year it was his inside linebacker mate Alex Singleton who got the $6 million guarantee with another $3 million of a $6 million payout guaranteed next year, while the Broncos backed up the two starters by drafting inside linebacker Drew Sanders in the third round. Jewell, meanwhile, moves on to the final year of his contract in 2023, at $5 million. Although none of that money is guaranteed until he makes the season-opening 53-man roster, it seems a near certainty he will make the season-opening roster and start for a sixth consecutive year. He’s simply too good an inside linebacker and too valuable as a defensive leader. To Jewell, there is no difference a year makes. “No. I don’t care about that stuff,’’ Jewell said Monday following the Broncos’ first padded practice of their 2023 training camp. “It’s fine. I’m still here. I’m going to play my butt off, give ‘em all I got. So no, it doesn’t matter what happens. Whatever they want to do is what they want to do. I’m just going to go out there and do my job. So that’s all fine.’’ Jewell is again the defensive signal caller with Singleton on the flank and Sanders working with the second team. Enough he said, he said Broncos coach Sean Payton received predictable backlash to the strong comments he made last week to USA TODAY. Payton criticized the job of former Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett, who is now the Jets’ offensive coordinator. Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers supported Hackett, his former offensive coordinator in Green Bay, by criticizing Payton. Did Payton have any reaction to Rodgers’ words? “No, we’re past it,’’ Payton said. It did seem trite to address word play on a day when Tim Patrick suffered what appeared obvious to all a season-ending torn Achilles injury. Moss, Clark out with illness Broncos veteran outside linebacker Frank Clark and rookie cornerback Riley Moss missed practice Monday. “Just club decision and I’ll keep you posted,’’ Payton said. Sources told 9NEWS both players were out sick.

The historic heat began blasting the lower Southwest U.S. in late June, stretching from Texas across New Mexico and Arizona and into California’s desert. Example video title will go here for this video PHOENIX — A record string of daily highs over 110 degrees Fahrenheit (43.3 degrees Celsius) in Phoenix ended Monday as the dangerous heat wave that suffocated the Southwest throughout July receded slightly with cooling monsoon rains. The historic heat began blasting the region in June, stretching from Texas across New Mexico and Arizona and into California’s desert. Phoenix and its suburbs sweltered more and longer than most, with several records including the 31 consecutive days of 110 degrees Fahrenheit-plus (43.4 degrees Celsius) weather. The previous record was 18 straight days, set in 1974. The streak was finally broken Monday, when the high topped out at 108 degrees Fahrenheit (42.2 Celsius) at 3:10 p.m. “The high temperature for Phoenix today is 108 degrees,” Jessica Leffel, meteorologist for the National Weather Service, said at 5 p.m. “I’m just getting ready to post it on our social media.” Phoenix also sweated through a record 16 consecutive days when overnight lows didn’t dip below 90 degrees (32.2 degrees Celsius), making it hard for people to cool off after the sun went down. The reprieve was expected to be brief, with the forecast calling for highs again above 110 for several days later in the week. And National Weather Service meteorologist Matthew Hirsch said August could be even hotter than July. In California, Death Valley, long considered the hottest place on Earth, flirted in July with some of the hottest temperatures ever recorded, reaching 125.6 degrees Fahrenheit (52.5 Celsius) on July 16 at the aptly named Furnace Creek. The planet’s hottest recorded temperature ever was 134 F (56.67 C) in July 1913 at Furnace Creek, according to the World Meteorological Organization, the body recognized as keeper of world records. And in Nevada, also on July 16, Las Vegas briefly reached 116 degrees (46.6 degrees Celsius) to tie the record for that date set in 1998. The heat in Phoenix began to ease slightly last week with the city’s first major storm since the monsoon season began June 15. The Southwest heat wave was just one kind of extreme weather events that hit the U.S. in July. Fatal flash floods swept people and cars away in Pennsylvania, and days of flooding led to dangerous mudslides in the Northeast. At several points during the month, as many as a third of Americans were under some type of heat advisory, watch or warning. While not as visually dramatic as other natural disasters, experts say heat waves are deadlier — heat in parts of the South and Midwest killed more than a dozen people in June. Maricopa County, Arizona’s most populous and home to Phoenix, reported 25 heat-related deaths this year as of July 21. Another 249 deaths are listed as under investigation, and results from toxicological tests that can take weeks or months after an autopsy could lead to many being confirmed as heat-related.

Denver says trash pickup will happen every Monday and Thursday at the homeless encampments at 8th and Grant and 16th and Logan.

Denver says trash pickup will happen every Monday and Thursday at the encampments at Eighth and Grant and 16th and Logan. Example video title will go here for this video DENVER — A new mayor brings new ideas, and at Eighth Avenue and Grant Street in Denver's Capitol Hill Neighborhood, there are new trash bags. They were dropped off on Monday morning, according to Peaches, who lives at the homeless encampment at the intersection. "They said they had trash bags, if we put our trash up on the corner they would throw them away, so don’t put any of our personal belongings in them 'cause they’re looking for the orange trash bags to throw in the trash," Peaches said. She's been living on the Eighth Avenue sidewalk for about a month, but has been a part of what she calls the "outside community" for a year and a half. "Don’t take anything for granted and don’t ever think that it couldn’t be you," she said. "A year and a half ago if you would have told me that I would have been out here, I would have thought you were crazy." How she got here is a long story she'd rather not tell. "Being able to wash our areas would be nice, and not being kicked out of everywhere right away," she said. With Mayor Mike Johnston's activation of an emergency declaration for homelessness, other services like bathrooms are coming, but the city said they don't have specifics on when or where. Denver's Joint Information Center said as of last week, a designated truck is doing trash pick up every Monday and Thursday at two encampments -- the one Peaches lives at, and another one at 16th Avenue and Logan Street. "We don’t watch the news or really follow up on anything like that, so we kind of just go with the flow and whatever happens happens," Peaches said. She doesn't know about the new proposals or promises. She believes what she sees, and for now, that's trash bags. "I think that’s a nice start," she said. SUGGESTED VIDEOS: Latest from 9NEWS

Coronation Street: Tina O'Brien says Sarah is a 'nightmare' after THAT gender reveal bombshell! And things are about to get a lot worse!

Coronation Street star Tina O’Brien has admitted her alter ego Sarah Barlow is a “nightmare” in the aftermath of tonight’s dramatic gender reveal party. And frankly, we’re not surprised! Because the one thing Sarah has been doing since this whole Adam/Damon business got started is making some VERY bad decisions! Now her latest questionable choice – to let her Uncle Stephen get involved in her lies – has well and truly come back to bite her and the truth is out! Sarah goes along to the ‘surprise’ baby shower (Credit: ITV) Tina O’Brien on the big reveal Adam knows he’s not the father of the baby, despite Sarah (and Stephen’s!) attempts to keep the truth from him. And after the dramatic reveal at the party where the balloon read ‘It’s Damon’s’ rather than whether the baby was a boy or a girl, everyone else knows too! So did Sarah really think she was going to get away with such a huge lie? “I’m not sure she did think she was going to get away with,” Tina O’Brien, who plays Sarah, tells us. “She hoped she’d get away with it! But it got out of hand. There were a couple of times she was ready and willing to tell Adam the truth and then because of Stephen’s interference it became harder to open up.” And she says that Sarah’s actions are baffling! “I think because she desperately wanted the baby and she didn’t want to have a termination she thought she could deal with the guilt,” she says thoughtfully. “Personally it’s not something I could deal with for my whole life. Something like that must eat away at you. Obviously something like that is never going to go well.” What will the balloon say? (Credit: ITV) Total humiliation Viewers will have seen the horror on Sarah’s face in tonight’s episode when she realised the truth was out in such a public and humiliating fashion. So how is she feeling now? “Ashamed, devastated, embarrassed, hurt, scared, upset,” Tina lists. “Feeling sick to her stomach!” Sarah’s no stranger to keeping huge secrets, but the way this one was revealed seems to have totally taken her by surprise. “She had absolutely no idea whatsoever,” Tina laughs. “It was interesting to film actually – a day of mixed emotions. Sarah knows about the gender reveal but she has to pretend she doesn’t know, so she was shocked and surprised. There was a lot going on, my head was frazzled that day!” Sarah takes herself to hospital (Credit: ITV) The end of the road? Does this latest chapter in the Barlow romance mean their marriage is over for good? Tina says Sarah is still clinging on for dear life! “She knows her marriage is over, but she’s still hoping she can talk him round,” she tells us. “But I think really this could be the final nail in the coffin. Mind you, even though what Adam did was out of character, cruel and painful, there is a bit of me that thinks well, she behaved appallingly too. Yes he behaved inappropriately but so did Sarah. In a weird way it kind of levels up the bad behaviour! It’s not affected her love for him. She wants to be with him.” And how about Damon? Is Sarah still holding any feelings for the bad boy of Weatherfield? “She might be pining after the excitement, but I think after everything she’s gone through, probably realises the pain and fallout wasn’t worth it,” Tina says. “She just wants her life back on track.” Sarah is terrified she’s going to lose her baby (Credit: ITV) More drama to come! You would think that after all the drama in tonight’s episode, Sarah would be apologetic and try to smooth things over. But no. As this week’s episodes continue, she’s just making everything worse! “She’s a nightmare!” laughs Tina. “She’s very quick to be defensive. I kind of get it but maybe there’s a time and place. I was reading the scripts thinking ‘Rein it in, lady!’ It’s too soon for her to start being defensive. Of course Adam’s not going to take on board what she’s got to say.” Is there any hope for Sarah and Adam? (Credit: ITV) Tina O’Brien reveals heartbreak for Sarah? And then things take a frightening turn when Sarah is suddenly struck with crippling pains and rushes off to hospital, terrified she’s going to lose the baby. “She’s really scared,” admits Tina. Everything that’s gone on, with Stephen, and the letter and the fraud, the one thing she was solid about was regardless if it was Damon’s or Adam’s she already loved this little person, and she desperately wanted to have that baby.” If Sarah loses the baby, how will she cope? Could she get through it alone? “She can’t ask Adam for help now,” says Tina. “She’s got to be on her own with this. She is quite strong. Tougher than she gives herself credit for. She’s lost a baby, Billy. She’s willing to tough it out on her own.” But if the worst happens, could she consider herself at fault? “I think she would blame herself,” Tina says. “Maybe she’s created so much stress it became an unviable pregnancy. She would feel responsible, even though there’s a lot of emotions attached to miscarriage but it happens for many reasons.” So is there any hope for Adam and Sarah? “I think they probably still love each other,” Tina tells us. “I’d like to think Sarah and Adam are each other’s person, but maybe too much has gone on and they need to start afresh.” And would she like them to make it work? “I’d like them to want to be together but not be together,” she says. “I’d like Sarah or Adam meeting someone new and it going wrong and them almost getting back together… I genuinely have no idea how this story ends!” Read more: Complete Coronation Street cast list 2023 – meet them all here!

The Wolf on BBC One opens with song Baby Did A Bad Bad Thing by Chris Isaak - all you need to know about the theme tune and score

Wolf on BBC one is a brand new thriller, but the opening sequence’s accompanying song Baby Did A Bad Bad Thing may feel very familiar. Ukweli Roach stars in new BBC drama Wolf from tonight (Credit: BBC Pictures) The track has been tantalising the ears of moody-blues rock and art-house movie fans since its appearance on Chris Isaak album Forever Blue back in 1995. The darkly sexy song gained notoriety after featuring in Stanley Kubrick’s critically polarising 1999 film Eyes Wide Shut starring then-married couple Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. Naked Kidman sways along provocatively in the mirror to the rhythmic guitar riff of Baby Did A Bad Bad Thing as Cruise, also butt naked, approaches to seduce her – while she appears more aroused by her own reflection. Chris Isaak performing in 1989 (Credit: Photo by Ian Dickson/Shutterstock) Who is Chris Isaak? Chris Isaak is perhaps best known for 1989 song Wicked Game, which exploded after featuring in David Lynch’s almost painfully cool Wild at Heart, starring Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern. The song’s black and white video is equally iconic, with the broodily easy on the eye musician frolicking in the sea with an ethereal looking Helena Christensen dressed in what appear to be her grandad’s white grundies. Isaak, who had a look of Elvis Presley in his leaner years back in the day, is often vocally compared to Roy Orbison. Other notable tracks from his back catalogue include Blue Hotel, Somebody’s Crying and Lie To Me. As well as music, he’s dipped his toe into acting, notably playing a SWAT commander in The Silence of the Lambs in 1991. The following year he appeared in Lynch’s Twin Peaks prequel movie Fire Walk With Me. In The Chris Isaak Show, which aired in the States from 2001 to 2004, he played a fictionalised version of himself. If you don’t know him, he’s worth exploring! Wolf on BBC One runs for six episodes (Credit: BBC One) Wolf on BBC One theme tune and score Award-winning composer Chris Roe is behind the score for the series; he also worked on ITV’s Trigger Point starring Vicky McClure.

Sony's latest QD-OLED TV is significantly brighter than last year’s models The Bravia XR A95L starts at $2,800 and will ship in 55-, 65- and 77-inch models. Sony announced pricing and availability today for its high-end 2023 QD-OLED television that the electronics giant says offers its “best color ever.” The Google TV-powered Bravia XR A95L will ship in 55-inch, 65-inch and 77-inch models, starting at $2,800. The Sony Bravia XR A95L has a QD-OLED panel that takes the best of OLED screens (deep blacks, rich contrast) while adding the superior brightness and colors you’d expect from QLED TVs. Earlier this year, Engadget’s Sam Rutherford found that the new TV “definitely did a better job at preserving details in shadows” than the rival LG C2. “The A95L was particularly impressive thanks to its QD-OLED panel and Cognitive Processor, with Sony claiming brightness that’s now two times higher than last year’s model.” The company also says the new set provides up to 200 percent color brightness compared to typical OLED TVs. The Cognitive Processor XR powers the set’s color range and hues, essentially acting as a brain that manages details like color, contrast, clarity, adaptive noise reduction and auto HDR tone mapping. In addition, the TV includes a Bravia Cam in the box: The sensor acts as a webcam for video calls (including Zoom support) while optimizing the television’s picture and sound based on your location in the room. Sony The A95L runs Google TV software but includes a few new extras this generation. That consists of a Game Menu for managing gaming picture and assistance settings. (It even lets you add a persistent crosshair for first-person shooters.) It also has exclusive PS5-friendly features: Auto HDR Tone Mapping and Auto Genre Picture Mode to optimize the premium display for your favorite PlayStation games. The TV also includes a new Eco Dashboard to help you manage all its energy-saving settings in one place. Sony’s new TV also has Acoustic Surface Audio+: actuators behind the TV that can “vibrate to produce audio from the entire screen,” helping make dialog clearer. The feature works with Sony Soundbars, as select models will sync with the television’s built-in vibrations to produce “fuller vocals” on the center audio channel. The company also synced its Soundbars to show their volume, sound field and other toggles directly in the TV’s Quick Settings menu. The Sony Bravia XR A95L starts at $2,800 for the 55-inch model. The 65-inch variant will cost $3,500, while the 77-inch model will total $4,500. All three models will be available for pre-order from Sony authorized dealers starting on August 21st.

The Uber safety driver at the wheel during the first known fatal self-driving car crash involving a pedestrian has pleaded guilty to and been sentenced for an endangerment charge. Rafaela Vasquez will serve three years of probation for her role in the 2018 Tempe, Arizona collision that killed Elaine Herzberg while she was jaywalking at night. The sentence honors the prosecutors' demands and is stiffer than the six months the defense team requested. The prosecution maintained that Vasquez was ultimately responsible. While an autonomous car was involved, Vasquez was supposed to concentrate on the road and take over if necessary. The modified Volvo XC90 in the crash was operating at Level 3 autonomy and could be hands-free in limited conditions, but required the driver to take over at a moment's notice. It noticed Herzberg but didn't respond to her presence. The defense case hinged on partly blaming Uber. Executives at the company thought it was just a matter of time before a crash occurred, according to supposedly leaked conversations. The National Transportation Safety Board's (NTSB) collision findings also noted that Uber had disabled the emergency braking system on the XC90, so the vehicle couldn't come to an abrupt stop. Tempe police maintained that Vasquez had been watching a show on Hulu and wasn't paying attention during the crash. Defense attorneys have insisted that Vasquez was paying attention and had only been momentarily distracted. The plea and sentencing could influence how other courts handle similar cases. There's long been a question of liability surrounding mostly driverless cars — is the human responsible for a crash, or is the manufacturer at fault? This suggests humans will still face penalties if they can take control, even if the punishment isn't as stiff for conventional situations. Fatal crashes with autonomy involved aren't new. Tesla has been at least partly blamed for collisions while Full Self Driving was active. The pedestrian case is unique, though, and looms in the background of more recent Level 4 (fully driverless in limited situations) offerings and tests from Waymo and GM's Cruise.While the technology has evolved since 2018, there are still calls to freeze robotaxi rollouts over fears the machines could pose safety risks.

Mazda has halted US sales of its first EV, the MX-30, as it plans a comeback..

Mazda stops selling its only EV in the US The MX-30 was a misstep, but not the end of Mazda's EV plans. Mazda's MX-30 is a strange EV, and it appears the company knows this. The automaker is pulling the small crossover from the US market after the 2023 model year. The company says it's currently focused on "large platform" plug-in hybrids like the CX-70 and CX-90, and also offers conventional hybrids like the CX-50. The MX-30 is Mazda's first and only mass-produced EV to date, and it came to the country in fall 2021 as a California-only model. From the start, its prospects were limited by a number of unusual business decisions. On top of its small size, it had just a 35.5kWh battery with an estimated 100-mile range. This was supposed to make it feel more like a gas car and limit the car's CO2 footprint, but the net result was a car that was both less exciting to drive and less practical than competing EVs costing significantly less than Mazda's $35,385 sticker. The outgoing current-gen Chevy Bolt costs $9,000 less while delivering more performance and over twice the range. Sales were accordingly poor. Mazda has sold just 571 MX-30 units in the US over three years. In some countries, the company has reworked the machine as a plug-in hybrid with a rotary gas engine and an estimated 53 miles of electric-only driving. Mazda is rethinking its EV strategy. It plans to introduce cars based on both an existing platform as well as a new framework. There are claims the company might use a future Toyota platform expected to deliver over 600 miles on a charge. The MX-30 discontinuation isn't the end, in other words — rather, it's an acknowledgment that the company needs to be more competitive. The move is also a reflection of Japanese brands' general trouble entering the EV market. Honda might not replace its E compact car, and is refocusing on SUVs like next year's Prologue as well as its collaboration with Sony. Toyota and Subaru, meanwhile, had problems launching the bZ4x SUV crossover and its Solterra equivalent. For now, they largely have to rely on hybrids to attract buyers.

German semiconductor maker Infineon Technologies AG announced that it’s producing a printed circuit board (PCB) that dissolves in water.

German semiconductor maker Infineon Technologies AG announced that it’s producing a printed circuit board (PCB) that dissolves in water. Sourced from UK startup Jiva Materials, the plant-based Soluboard could provide a new avenue for the tech industry to reduce e-waste as companies scramble to meet climate goals by 2030. Jiva’s biodegradable PCB is made from natural fibers and a halogen-free polymer with a much lower carbon footprint than traditional boards made with fiberglass composites. A 2022 study by the University of Washington College of Engineering and Microsoft Research saw the team create an Earth-friendly mouse using a Soluboard PCB as its core. The researchers found that the Soluboard dissolved in hot water in under six minutes. However, it can take several hours to break down at room temperature. In addition to dissolving the PCB fibers, the process makes it easier to retrieve the valuable metals attached to it. “After [it dissolves], we’re left with the chips and circuit traces which we can filter out,” said UW assistant professor Vikram Iyer, who worked on the mouse project. The video below shows the Soluboard dissolving in a frying pan with boiling water: ♻️ We are adopting Soluboard®, a #recyclable & #biodegradable printed circuit board substrate based on natural fibers. It was designed by @JivaMaterials & the #organic structure allows the components of devices to dissolve when immersed in hot water. More: https://t.co/3yLMC5cuGh pic.twitter.com/mnWjPbSok7 — Infineon (@Infineon) July 28, 2023 “Adopting a water-based recycling process could lead to higher yields in the recovery of valuable metals,” said Jonathan Swanston, CEO and co-founder of Jiva Materials. Jiva says the board has a 60 percent smaller carbon footprint than traditional PCBs — specifically, it can save 10.5 kg of carbon and 620 g of plastic per square meter of PCB. Infineon has produced three different circuit board prototypes using the Soluboard framework. The company is currently only using the dissolvable PCB for demo and evaluation boards, and it says around 500 units are now in use. However, it’s “exploring the possibility of using the material for all boards” with an eye on expanding adoption over the next few years. Based on the results of stress tests, it also plans to “provide guidance on the reuse and recycling of power semiconductors removed from Soluboards” to lessen the chances of the salvageable parts from future production models going to waste.

It's possibly one of the most supportive communities you'll find, but without the right resources, Amazon could squander it..

Last spring, Amazon launched its long-rumored live audio-streaming platform, Amp. The pitch was to reinvent radio with “an infinite dial of shows.” Amp offers users access to a vast, built-in music library to create their own DJ sets with. No need to buy songs or flirt with the DMCA, just make a playlist, go live, talk in between tracks, follow the chat and even invite callers. When I wrote about it a year ago, it showed promise, but it was iOS only, light on users and had a limited feature set. A little over a year later and Amp is reaching an important milestone: It’s finally available on Android. Amp is Amazon’s first home-grown streaming platform and the year-plus stint as an Apple exclusive meant it enjoyed a level of technical predictability and a self-imposed restriction on growth and user numbers. But as the doors open to the other half of the mobile universe, it’s about to be exposed to the full reality of competing in an already busy social-creator landscape. Growing beyond iOS is an important move for Amp, even if the platform technically remains in beta (and US-only). But the wider reach of Google’s operating system — from TVs to Chromebooks and beyond — will be a decisive step in the process of Amazon proving it can build a viable streaming platform from the ground up (rather than acquire an already successful one). You can, of course, find DJ sessions and internet radio in myriad places online. Whether it’s big platforms like YouTube and TikTok or more direct rivals like Stationhead or Tidal (via its Live Sessions feature) and even Amazon Music’s own DJ Mode, there are several destinations for live curated music streams. Of course, let’s not forget Amazon-owned Twitch, which is teeming with tune spinners. Oh, and there’s obviously FM radio, too. This obviously begs the question: What makes Amp unique? Amazon “It's very much like Sirius meets YouTube,” Zach Sang, one of Amp’s contracted creators, and former broadcast DJ told Engadget. “It's real life, legacy career broadcasters mixed with the future of those broadcasters. It's everybody coming together, it's radio democratized. It's a way that radio genuinely should be programmed: for people and not for profit,” he added. From a user’s point of view, Amp’s main differentiator appears to be its focus on radio and radio-style shows specifically. Plus that built-in music library (Stationhead, for example, requires you to have either Apple Music or Spotify at your own cost). I asked user Christina “Criti” Gonzalez, who hosts her own daily show, how she’d describe Amp. “[It’s] a very unique, weird place where you're able to listen to all the music you've forgotten about, didn't know about and crave to hear, again with personalities and so many people of all different walks of life that have one common interest - music.” Amp Co-Founder, Matt Sandler - who used to work at LA’s KROQ FM – explained that he felt all of the existing options weren’t quite giving listeners or creators what they wanted. “If you posted a job for KROQ and an on air position, you'd get hundreds and hundreds, if not thousands of submissions and people who wanted to curate music and talk to the community on air,” he told Engadget. “There have been lots of services built around live connection or music or community. One of the things that I think will drive the success of a business like this is really that balance between scale and connection.” Amp signed deals with celebrities and established presenters such as Nicki Minaj, Joe Budden, Nick Cannon and the aforementioned Sang to give the platform some known-name appeal, and it’s done so without creating much of a barrier around them compared to regular creators. Your show can sit right next to Nicki Minaj’s in the listings. Although the roster covers large genres like hip-hop, sports, country and pop there’s not much in the way of alt/indie or electronic in that lineup right now. Unlike Clubhouse, which enjoyed an early surge of popularity, Amp has largely gone under the radar since launch. “The thing we're maniacally focused on every day is making sure that the product is right before stepping out and bigger and bigger fashion,” Sandler said. But many people I’ve mentioned it to aren’t aware of it – and Amp’s not even included on the list of Amazon products/services Wikipedia page. Amazon The app is clearly a lot busier than when I wrote about it just after launch, but the average number of listeners for most shows remains frustratingly low for most shows (based on multiple user reports and other publicly visible data). But several users explained they weren’t discouraged. “The community that it has right now, it's a small enough space for people to feel like they're connected, even if they don't know each other.” Gonzalez said. At the beginning, according to Sandler, even Amp's leadership was unsure in which direction the platform would unfold. There was the possibility that the big-name artists would dominate while regular users gravitated to being listeners. In reality, it’s the smaller, home-grown shows and the aforementioned community that has made Amp a nice place to hang out. “The culture there is so inviting.” Gonzalez said. “I feel like other social media sites can turn negative quickly. I haven't had much experience with that on Amp and I appreciate that.” Adding, ”It's crazy what the experience on Amp has done, because I truly honestly say to anyone that's not an Amp to join it, because it really will change your perspective.” One of the main complaints I had with Amp right after launch was that hosts needed at least one listener to be able to play a song and often that meant… waiting. There was also no way to communicate with any listeners you did have. Today the awkward waits are (mostly) gone and each stream has its own chat room which has switched it from a one-directional platform to the collection of friendly gatherings that it has become today. Several creators and listeners have told me they’ve created genuine connections and friendships that have spilled over into real life. The chat rooms in shows are a rare mix of positivity, musical discourse and humor. Trolling and negativity is unusually rare and it’s obvious there’s a real sense of commitment to the app. But at some point it needs to expand to stop it becoming a circular economy where everyone is both a host and a listener. Amp doesn’t share information about user numbers or demographics, but the typical host and listener right now, perhaps unsurprisingly, appears to mirror the generations that were brought up on mix tapes and burning albums to CD. Where sharing music was more tactile and a little bit slower. In the nicest possible way, the community energy often feels like the best bits of early internet chat rooms. Like many music-first spaces online, there’s little in the way of negativity, and while many creators may fall into a similar age group, a variety of backgrounds has been a defining factor since day one. Amazon The positive community is Amp’s to lose though. As it opens up to Android, the door to even more users opens, and with that the challenge of scaling up the platform while maintaining what keeps it special. And there’s also the matter of money. Right now, Amp pays out many of its hosts via an opaque creator fund. “One of the things that we're focused on is making sure that creators can earn through the service over time, not just through the fund, but through other mechanisms as well.” Sandler said. When I asked about subs, tipping and other Twitch-esque ways to earn money he added “Those are all things you could easily imagine in the service.” For now, the creator fund is helping keep hosts motivated, but Amp will need to provide realistic alternative revenue streams to keep creators around (and, of course, lure in more). But perhaps the bigger investment Amp needs is in itself. It’s hard to find much in the way of outward promotion of the app and the best tool for promoting its best creators are its own social channels. If Amp can make itself more visible, it can grow the user base which in turn makes that creator economy, be it tipping, subs and beyond, more viable. There are also occasional technical issues that remind you the app is still in beta, which an injection of new users, on a new operating system no less, might exacerbate. Mostly, it’s small annoyances like the chat swallowing your last message. Occasionally, it’s more dramatic like a stream crashing or a host being booted out of their own show. “The glitchiness causes some frustration. And, sometimes that can change your experience doing the show and with others listening. So once those kinks get ironed out, I feel like the creators will feel more comfortable and less anxious while they're doing sets” Gonzalez said. Users have even coined the phrase “Amp be Ampin’” as a refrain to the inevitable quirkiness that happens every couple of weeks or after an update. Where does the app go from here? “I think there's a big opportunity for amp specifically to move charts and culture around the world. And that means personalities, spinning music, having conversations and developing communities that exist in the app but that have social currency outside of the app as well.” Sandler said. Sang on the other hand thinks it’s a way to keep the spirit of radio going. “It's not like there's any major radio stars on the come up. So it's like, where are they going to come from? Let them come from Amp.” Or, as Gonzalez was quick to point out, sometimes, it’s just about the music. “There are certain creators that talk through their experience or a memory or something like that. And it completely changes how I looked at the song to begin with” she said. “I love the community so much, but it's also just the variety, being exposed to certain genres. So I love that and ever since I've been really addicted.” All products recommended by Engadget are selected by our editorial team, independent of our parent company.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A brightly flashing “X” sign has been removed from the San Francisco headquarters of the company formerly known as Twitter just days after it was installed. The San Francisco Department of Building Inspection said Monday it received 24 complaints about the unpermitted structure over the weekend. Complaints included concerns about its structural safety and illumination. The Elon Musk-owned company, which has been rebranded as X, had removed the Twitter sign and iconic blue bird logo from the building last week. That work was temporarily paused because the company did not have the necessary permits. For a time, the “er” at the end of “Twitter” remained up due to the abrupt halt of the sign takedown. The city of San Francisco had opened a complaint and launched an investigation into the giant “X” sign, which was installed Friday on top of the downtown building as Musk continues his rebrand of the social media platform. The chaotic rebrand of Twitter’s building signage is similar to the haphazard way in which the Twitter platform is being turned into X. While the X logo has replaced Twitter on many parts of the site and app, remnants of Twitter remain. Representatives for X did not immediately respond to a message for comment Monday.

Learn about the specific challenges digital twin testing presents for software teams, including the perceived accuracy and trustworthiness of data.

Digital twins are a popular way to model and test physical things, such as cars, factories and buildings, as well as unfixed entities, like business processes, supply chains and even city infrastructure. Teresa Tung, cloud-first chief technologist at Accenture, describes digital twins as a way for organizations to "transform physical product development in the same way software product development evolved from Waterfall to Agile." The key difference between the traditional modeling workflows used for testing and the digital twin approach is that the latter runs on continuous updates received from real-world data. Systems designed to support digital twins typically come with a set of semantic schemas that help connect the dots between different views of both simulated and real-world components. These types of schemas can help electrical, mechanical and other types of engineering teams explore design and performance tradeoffs through a single view rather than transferring data between separate tools and dashboards. But the digital twin approach is not foolproof, and organizations that want to implement it effectively need to ask themselves three important questions revolving around data integrity, business context and the accuracy of existing testing procedures. Can the twin be trusted? Bryan Kirschner, vice president of strategy at data management provider DataStax, recommended QA teams pay special attention to how the state of the real world and the digital twin might diverge. Testing teams need to test scenarios that define the range of conditions under which the twin can be trusted as an authoritative source of truth. "The objective of testing shifts from: 'How well does this system work?' to 'Can it be trusted as an authoritative source of truth?'" Kirschner said, stressing the importance of identifying any specific scenarios where it's possible that data from the twin may not be an accurate representation of real-world conditions. To accomplish this, QA teams need to ensure that the underlying design of digital twins aligns with an organization's currently existing testing workflows. For example, Jim Christian, chief product and technology officer at mCloud Technologies, said the company is using a digital twin approach to model and simulate high-volume data processing systems to test operational performance in real time. To accomplish this, the digital twins are designed using a modular architecture so that pieces can be tested both individually and collectively, enabling them to keep closer track of data integrity. Is the context clear? According to Siva Anna, senior director of enterprise QA at digital services provider Apexon, it's important to carefully consider which data points QA teams collect from real-world sources for use with digital twins. A successful digital twin implementation depends on capturing specific, vital parameters that eventually help calibrate performance and design improvements. Testing teams should keep in mind that the various sensors that feed data to digital twin systems may likely span multiple data formats and quality levels that need to be consolidated neatly into a single view. Testing teams should also work with developers to understand the context, which is expressed through use cases, said Puneet Saxena, vice president of supply chain planning at Blue Yonder. For instance, integrated demand and supply planning for manufacturers uses a digital twin to represent a physical supply chain in a detailed software model that represents both physical things, such as warehouse items, geographic locations or automated machines, and abstract entities, such as bills of materials, cycle time averages and production rate goals. "The more realistic the representation of physical reality in the software domain, the better the outcome," Saxena said. For instance, a digital twin of a supply chain might help organizations determine realistic production benchmarks for a specific manufacturing facility based on predictions of what that facility should be able to produce given existing demand, availability of raw materials, work-in-process schedules or other factors related to production capabilities.

For directors and writers coming into the MCU, it must be difficult to bare the brunt of character deaths that you probably have no control over.

[Spoilers ahead for Secret Invasion, including the episode 6 finale] Coming in as a writer or director on a Marvel movie or series must be challenging, due to the over-all arc that Kevin Feige has laid out. Important things such as character deaths are not within the control of the people making an individual MCU movie or series, but they’ve got to make the best of what they’re given. For Secret Invasion director Ali Selim, he’s surprised he hasn’t had more push back on some high profile deaths. Secret Invasion shocked viewers in episode one by killing off long-running MCU character Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders). If that wasn’t enough heartbreak, they rounded off the season with another fairly major character death in the final episode – that of Talos (Ben Mendelsohn). Director Ali Selim explained to The Radio Times: “It’s not my decision, I don’t make decisions for the MCU. Kevin [Feige] is the mastermind at moving the spiderweb of this universe forward and I understand his reasoning. And my job is to make it as emotional and truthful and effective as it can possibly be within the confines of this six-episode series.” Selim explained that the loss of Hill and Talos “were big deaths. I’ll be honest with you, I kind of expected to receive death threats of my own when people found out I killed Maria Hill. I haven’t yet, so I’m pleasantly relieved. I will miss [Talos] deeply because I think [Ben Mendelsohn] is one of our greatest actors and I would love to work with him again, so we’ll have to find another way to do it that’s not Talos, because I don’t think he’s coming back.” Maria Hill’s first appearance was in 2012’s The Avengers, and she has always been Nick Fury’s right-hand-woman. However, she was unafraid to question and challenge him. Talos first appeared in 2019’s Captain Marvel, which is when the whole Skrull plotline was really set in motion. The Marvel series Secret Invasion (the Skrulls), WandaVision (Monica Rambeau) and Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan) could all have a big impact on the upcoming MCU movie The Marvels.

The highly anticipated independent investigation ordered by the City Council into corruption in Anaheim was released Monday afternoon, detailing numerous instances of potential Brown Act violations, dealings by a mayor and council structure that went unchecked and money that appeared funneled to the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce and Visit Anaheim. The $1.5 million probe followed the 2022 revelation of FBI investigations into former Mayor Harry Sidhu and former Anaheim Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Todd Ament, which included allegations a self-described “cabal” of business and political leaders had exerted significant influence in Anaheim City Hall. Sidhu resigned and the City Council canceled the sale of Angel Stadium. While the version of the 353-page report made public has several redactions, the city is sharing a complete copy with the Orange County District Attorney, California Attorney General Rob Bonta and the FBI, officials have said. Anaheim councilmembers received an unredacted copy on Monday. The report describes the close relationship between the city and the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, saying that it appeared “as if the city was merely subsidizing the Anaheim Chamber with infusions of money on a near-yearly basis.” The city-commissioned investigators say in their report that Sidhu directed a $6.5 million in “grant” funds to Visit Anaheim then orchestrated the firing of former City Manager Chris Zapata after Zapata suggested the city should be paid back the money with interest. Sidhu then directed CEO and President of Visit Anaheim Jay Burress to divert $1.5 million of that money to the chamber. If Buress was questioned about the money, Sidhu directed him to cover his story by saying it came from other reserve funds from Visit Anaheim, investigators said. Anaheim Mayor Harry Sidhu is under federal investigation in connection with the city’s sale of Angel Stadium.

(Photo by Leonard Ortiz, Orange County Register/SCNG) Anaheim City spokesperson Mike Lyster said in a statement that the city has begun reviewing the report and will continue to do so in the coming days. “The report is part of a process with constructive insights welcomed,” Lyster said. “We will also look to any direction from our City Council.” Investigators from the JL Group collected nearly a million emails, more than 50,000 documents and conducted more than 170 people. Anaheim spent $1.5 million on the investigation, which began last September. The investigation took more time and money than expected, and at one point even caused the City Council to consider ending it prematurely. The city-funded investigation was tasked with examining questions of corruption, past campaign contributions, contracts, city dealings, council decisions and potential Brown Act violations, among other raised concerns. Last year, an FBI investigator alleged that Sidhu may have tried to slip confidential information to a representative of Angels owner Arte Moreno and his business group in negotiations to purchase the city-owned stadium with the intention of soliciting a large campaign donation later. The $320 million deal was scuttled by the City Council after news broke of the allegations and Sidhu resigned. No criminal charges have been filed against Sidhu and his attorney has maintained that a thorough investigation would find no wrongdoing. FBI investigators noted in the affidavit it was unclear if the Angels representative knew of Sidhu’s intentions. The investigation recommends placing a tighter hold on city money contributed to the Chamber of Commerce and the Visit Anaheim tourism office and that the city try to “claw back” any money illegally received. Under those recommendations no more money would be given by the city until full forensic audits were conducted on the chamber and Visit Anaheim and all their controlled nonprofits for the last seven years. Another accounting for a five-year period would be done each year before public money was given. This story is developing, please check back for updates.

Crews battled “fire whirls” in California’s Mojave National Preserve this weekend as a massive wildfire crossed into Nevada amid dangerously high temperatures and raging winds. The York Fire was mapped at roughly 120 square miles (284 square kilometers) on Monday with no containment. The blaze erupted Friday near the remote Caruthers Canyon area of the vast wildland preserve, crossed the state line into Nevada on Sunday and sent smoke further east into the Las Vegas Valley. For related, see: This map shows where the Bonny Fire is burning A smoky haze blotted out the sun midday on the Las Vegas Strip and obliterated views of mountains surrounding the city and suburbs. Because of low visibility, the Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas reported departure delays of nearly two hours.

(AP Photo/Ty O’Neil) A fire whirl — sometimes called a fire tornado — is a “spinning column of fire” that forms when intense heat and turbulent winds combine, according to the National Park Service. The vortexes — which can be anywhere from a few feet tall to several hundred feet high, with varying rotational speeds — were spotted Sunday on the north end of the York Fire. “While these can be fascinating to observe they are a very dangerous natural phenomena that can occur during wildfires,” the park service wrote. The whirls require high temperatures to form. In Searchlight, Nevada — an unincorporated area about 12 miles (19.31 kilometers) from the California border where the fire burned — Monday’s high was 100 degrees Fahrenheit (37.8 Celsius), according to the National Weather Service. For more, see: Our latest wildfire news Significant portions of the U.S. population have been subject to extreme heat in recent weeks. Worldwide, July has been so steamy thus far that scientists calculate it will be the hottest month ever recorded and likely the warmest to hit human civilization. Wind-driven flames 20 feet (6 meters) high in some spots charred tens of thousands of acres of blackbrush scrub, pinyon-juniper woodlands and the famous Joshua trees in the New York Mountains in San Bernardino County. Ileene Anderson, a senior scientist at the Center for Biological Diversity, said it could take the pinyon-juniper woodlands 200 to 300 years to become “a functional community again,” while the blackbrush scrub and Joshua trees are unlikely to regrow after this catastrophic blaze, which erupted without human intervention. “It will change the habitat possibly permanently,” Anderson said. Even more, deer and bighorn sheep could become trapped by the flames, she said. If any manage to survive the blaze, their resources in the newly scorched landscape would be severely limited. In 2020, the Dome Fire ripped through the preserve, ravaging one of the world’s largest Joshua tree forests. Conservationists, including Anderson, are trying to revitalize the land by planting new trees since the species usually isn’t able to make a comeback naturally after a wildfire.

Generally, most fires in the desert are caused by humans, Anderson said. The cause of the York Fire remains under investigation, though authorities say it started on private land within the preserve. Other details were not available Monday. To the southwest, the Bonny Fire burned about 3.6 square miles (9.3 square kilometers) in the rugged hills of Riverside County. The blaze was about 20% contained on Monday. More than 1,300 people were ordered to evacuate their homes Saturday near the community of Aguanga that is home to horse ranches and wineries. One firefighter was injured in the blaze. Gusty winds and the chance of thunderstorms into Tuesday will heighten the risk of renewed growth, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said in a statement.

A person who Corona police say fled a traffic collision on Thursday, July 27, died when his car caught fire after again crashing. The driver, described as a man, had not been publicly identified by the Riverside County Coroner’s Office as of July 31. The crashes happened between 6:45 and 7 p.m. The first happened at the intersection of River Road and Lincoln Avenue, said Cpl. Tobias Kouroubacalis, who did not have information on how that collision happened or whether anyone was injured. A witness told police that one of the drivers did not stop. The witness followed the car, a Chevrolet Tahoe, the approximate one mile from the intersection of River Road and Lincoln Avenue to the intersection of Rincon Street and N. Smith Street. There, Kouroubacalis said, the driver went past road-closed signs and smashed through yellow metal barricades protecting a construction zone. The driver stopped, and his car caught fire. He died at the scene. The driver’s cause of death has not been announced. Police ask anyone with information on the crash to contact Officer Jacob Westall at 951-817-5784 or Jacob.Westall@CoronaCa.Gov.

Alan Dudman has 33/1, 50/1 and 15/2 bets for the League One and League Two ante-post markets

Football League season returns this weekend A 33/1 and 50/1 pair for League One antepost Wrexham and Notts County way ahead of rivals? Minus Sheffield Wednesday for the new League One season, Derby County are the de facto number one; as a big team playing in the wrong division, but we saw the Owls implode last term by almost blowing their chance only to rescue themselves in the dying moments at Wembley. Are the favourites Derby County at 4/14.80 as strong a bet as Wednesday were 12 months ago? My answer would be emphatically no, and this looks an ante-post play worth chancing a couple of bigger prices. Portsmouth 17/29.40 and Peterborough 9/19.80 have had enough chances from me in the past, and Posh look weaker considering their financial reset and departures. Frankie Kent has left for Scotland, while highly prized asset Ronnie Edwards is a wanted man. Last year's skipper and leading scorer Jonson Clarke-Harris is on the the transfer list, and in short, I cannot see it - not at 9/19.80. Barnsley are 17/29.40, but they've been charged with multiple breaches of regulations so it's impossible to get involved with last term's beaten play-off finalists as they could incur a points deduction, and same for Reading, a crisis club in freefall. Quite why anyone should see the Royals as a bet at 9/19.80 in the Winner Market is beyond me. They are under a transfer embargo, and like Barnsley, cannot seriously be considered as a bet. I toyed with the idea of Wycombe again at 22/123.00, but I am unsure about Matt Bloomfield, but I am happy with a couple of big prices here each-way. Bristol Rovers at 33/134.00 might give us a chance of hitting three places at 1/4 of the odds, but a lot depends on whether they keep hold of Aaron Collins. The Welshman is wanted by a host of clubs, and his manager Joey Barton has stated that it will take a bid of "Scott Twine" like proportions to prise him away from the Mem - which would be around £5million. Take note Stoke and Coventry. Collins has registered 16 goals and 11 assists in each of his last two seasons and is happy in a front three - usually playing on the left. If he stays, we hopefully have a runner. Barton himself has promised tactical breakdowns and a chance to "unlock the mind of a footballing maverick" on a paid for Twitter platform. An interesting concept given that Rovers' own Twitter (X) account has a reach of 2.1 million less than Barton's. Barton took Fleetwood to the play-offs and if they keep Collins, they have a chance. Back Leyton Orient each-way @ 50/151.00 League One Winner Market (three places) I've waited a long time for Leyton Orient to return to the glamour and riches of League One, and I have been granted my wish - and in some style from last season. The east Londoners started strongly last term with their pass and dominate style in League Two and were champions with three games to spare. With the division looking wide-open this term, as always, Orient have a good manager in Richie Wellens, who seems to have found his home in Leyton after disappointing spells elsewhere - including in League One with Doncaster. The gap and chasm between League One and Two isn't huge, and with Joe Piggott in from Ipswich and Martin Ling doing such a fine job, I will go with them to outrun their odds. Plus, I played in central midfield once with Ling in a charity game at Brisbane Road, and Ling called me the greediest player he ever saw. Thank you. Back Notts County to win @ 15/28.40 League Two Winner Market (three places) League Two promises to be even more exciting than usual with the inclusion of Hollywood's Wrexham, but also Notts County from the National League. Both of these were different class with over 200 points between them last term, although the Magpies had to take the long route via Wembley. It says much about the quality of League Two that both Wrexham 7/24.40 and Notts County 15/28.40 are first and third in the betting. In truth, with their spending power and pull, they could walk the division. David McGoldrick has left Derby to join County - which says plenty about their budget, and County also have Macauley Langstaff - a forward who hit a record 42 goals in the National League last term. I was very impressed whenever I saw him on BT, especially with his one touch skills in the box and finishing. With Wrexham losing Paul Mullin to a punctured lung in a recent US game against Manchester United, his absence and goals could gift a quicker start to County. I like Luke Williams as a manager and considering they scored 117 goals last term, I like their price at 15/28.40. Of course Wrexham could win it, but there's too much of a circus around the club. Bradford look the Top 7 Finish bet at 11/102.08, but whether you want to tie money up for 10 months for a near evens poke is unlikely, but Mark Hughes did well last term, as did Andy Cook who topped the goalscoring charts with 28. I cannot see MK Dons doing anything at 16/117.00, and Bradford in the winner market at 12/113.00 look a better bet. But with Notts County returning to the EFL in such blistering fashion last term - they have a lot going for them.

SHANGHAI, July 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Everest Medicines (HKEX 1952.HK, "Everest", or the "Company"), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development, manufacturing and commercialization of innovative medicines and vaccines, announced today the completion of patient enrollment for the China open-label extension (cOLE) of the Phase 3 NefIgArd study. The cOLE study offers an additional 9 months of treatment with Nefecon® to all qualifying patients who have completed the NefIgArd study and will evaluate the efficacy and safety of extended and repeated Nefecon® treatment in patients with IgA Nephropathy (IgAN). The Phase 3 NefIgArd clinical trial is a randomized, double-blind, multicenter study which assessed the efficacy and safety of Nefecon® versus placebo on a background of optimized RAS inhibitor therapy. The study met its primary endpoint, with Nefecon® demonstrating a highly statistically significant benefit over placebo (p value < 0.0001) in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) over the two-year period of 9-months of treatment with Nefecon® or placebo and 15-months of off drug follow-up. Patients in the cOLE study will continue on RAS inhibitor therapy (ACEs and/or ARBs) and be treated for 9 months with Nefecon® at 16mg/day. At the end of the treatment period, change in eGFR and urine protein to creatinine ratio (UPCR) will be evaluated. "The results of the cOLE study will offer insight into the value of extended and repeated use of Nefecon® and provide very important guidance for doctors in clinical practice," said Rogers Yongqing Luo, Chief Executive Officer of Everest Medicines. The China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) accepted Everest's New Drug Application (NDA) for Nefecon® for the treatment of IgAN in November 2022. The NMPA has also granted Nefecon® break-through therapy designation and NDA priority review. Nefecon® was the first non-oncology drug to receive break-through therapy designation in China. About Nefecon® Nefecon® is a patented oral, delayed release formulation of budesonide, a corticosteroid with potent glucocorticoid activity and weak mineralocorticoid activity that undergoes substantial first pass metabolism. The formulation is designed as a delayed release capsule that is enteric coated so that it remains intact until it releases budesonide to the distal ileum. Each capsule contains coated beads of budesonide that target mucosal B-cells present in the ileum where the disease originates, as per the predominant pathogenesis models. In June 2019, Everest Medicines entered into an exclusive, royalty-bearing license agreement with Calliditas, which gives Everest Medicines exclusive rights to develop and commercialize Nefecon® in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and Singapore. The agreement was extended in March 2022 to include South Korea as part of Everest Medicine's territories. Nefecon® was approved in the United States under accelerated approval based on a reduction in proteinuria. Recently announced topline results from the global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 clinical trial NefIgArd demonstrated a statistically significant benefit for Nefecon® over placebo in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), a measure of renal function. About Everest Medicines Everest Medicines is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing, manufacturing and commercializing transformative pharmaceutical products and vaccines that address critical unmet medical needs for patients in Asian markets. The management team of Everest Medicines has deep expertise and an extensive track record from both leading global pharmaceutical companies and local Chinese pharmaceutical companies in high-quality discovery, clinical development, regulatory affairs, CMC, business development and operations. Everest Medicines has built a portfolio of potentially global first-in-class or best-in-class molecules, many of which are in late-stage clinical development. The Company's therapeutic areas of interest include renal diseases, infectious diseases, mRNA platform and autoimmune disorders. For more information, please visit its website at www.everestmedicines.com.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A brightly flashing “X” sign has been removed from the San Francisco headquarters of the company formerly known as Twitter just days after it was installed. The San Francisco Department of Building Inspection said Monday it received 24 complaints about the unpermitted structure over the weekend. Complaints included concerns about its structural safety and illumination. The Elon Musk-owned company, which has been rebranded as X, had removed the Twitter sign and iconic blue bird logo from the building last week. That work was temporarily paused because the company did not have the necessary permits. For a time, the “er” at the end of “Twitter” remained up due to the abrupt halt of the sign takedown. The city of San Francisco had opened a complaint and launched an investigation into the giant “X” sign, which was installed Friday on top of the downtown building as Musk continues his rebrand of the social media platform. The chaotic rebrand of Twitter’s building signage is similar to the haphazard way in which the Twitter platform is being turned into X. While the X logo has replaced Twitter on many parts of the site and app, remnants of Twitter remain. Representatives for X did not immediately respond to a message for comment Monday.

Metro says perishable food that could be sold from 27 of its closed grocery stores as result of the ongoing labour dispute has been transferred to other stores, and food that can’t be sold but is still good to eat will be donated to food banks, however some local organizations fear they won’t benefit. Meryl Wharton, president of the Allan Gardens Food Bank told CTV News Toronto on Monday that her food bank is feeding 1,100 people on Thursday and Friday, and it would welcome donations from Metro. Wharton said she never received donations from Metro in past, and hasn’t heard from any closed Metro stores since the strike began, but is willing to accept any food, anytime. She described the for families right now as “desperate,” and said her food bank is being forced to spilt items like pasta, rice, cereal and eggs between people because it doesn’t have enough for everyone. In Thorncliffe Park, food security coordinator with TNO Food Collaborative, Nosheen Khan, said their food bank feeds 600 families every two weeks and the need keeps growing. “I think the perishable food if it can be given to us, would be really helpful, there’s definitely a lot of food waste in our city as it is,” said Khan. “We would totally jump on, and I think all food banks would benefit.” Khan said based on past experience, it seems complicated and a lot of work for grocery stores to give donations, but if things are different during this strike TNO Food Collaborative would take more food to help families in a heartbeat. Food security coordinator with TNO Food Collaborative, Nosheen Khan. (Beth Macdonell/CTV News Toronto) Khan said they are funded by the Daily Bread Food Bank, but it’s always looking for more as it can’t offer everyone the same quantity or quality of food. “We have a great relationship with Metro so I feel for everybody right now,” said Samantha Cooke, the Daily Bread Food Bank’s Vice-President of Philanthropy. “We also have this fantastic really scary need in the city.” Cooke said before the pandemic, it had 65,000 client visits a month. It’s now up to 266,000 client visits. Cooke said the Daily Bread is working with Metro to get strike related donations. “Because of this situation we were in contact with them very quickly, and arranging pickups for as early as tomorrow for food.” CTV News visited one Metro store in Don Mills. Grocery workers on strike said the produce near the front of the store was gone by the time they showed up for their afternoon shift on the picket line and could see managers clearing the bakery department next.

A woman who was struck by a falling tree branch in Trinity Bellwoods Park last week has died of her injuries, according to a friend who confirmed the tragic incident to CTV News Toronto. Pari Nadhimi, a 71-year-old owner of an art gallery blocks away from Trinity Bellwoods Park, was there last Tuesday, the day after a storm swept through Toronto, says Madeleine Donahue. “She was an extraordinary sister to her siblings and her nephew, and a leader in contemporary art. She will be completely missed by the art community, by her friends. We have lost an incredible person who was a warm compassionate person and it’s a total tragedy,” Donahue said in an interview with CTV News Toronto. Nadhimi loved running and walking and was likely enjoying the park when the branch fell, Donahue said. She was rushed to St. Michael’s Hospital. “The doctors confirmed it was a massive brain injury. There was no chance of recovery. She was gone,” Donahue said. “The family is completely devastated and is coming to grips with everything that has happened with this tragedy.” Nadhimi runs the Pari Nadhimi Art Gallery, which describes itself as a gallery that showcases “significant artists whose work is ambitious, challenging and intellectually motivated.” It’s not the first time a tree branch has fallen and killed someone in Trinity Bellwoods Park. In 2016, a French man shielded his wife when the bough of a Siberian Elm suddenly fell. He died and she survived. At the time, police said it was a freak accident. Police cordoned off the park last week and the City of Toronto said it would look further at the tree. Donahue says she’s not sure what to say yet about any safety issues the trees may present. She says she’s focused on the funeral.

A woman who was seriously injured in a shooting at an apartment building on Monday morning near Danforth and Broadview avenues was the property’s manager, tenants told CTV News Toronto. The shooting happened shortly before 8:30 a.m. in the Playter Estates area, near Eastmount and Cambridge avenues. Toronto police say a suspect attended the area on a bicycle, drew a firearm, and shot the victim – a woman believed to be in her 50s – leaving her with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries. The suspect then fled the scene on the bicycle, according to police. Investigators have not confirmed exactly where the woman was shot, but a large bullet hole could be seen this afternoon in the window of the building’s management office. Residents say that the rental company that owns the building, CAPREIT, informed them that the victim was one of their employees, but neither the company nor police have confirmed that detail. Police have released an image of the suspect and describe him as wearing a black jacket, a black toque, a black facemask, sunglasses, black pants, and black shoes. He was last seen carrying a small black side bag and a large light-coloured sack, according to police. Police describe the shooting suspect as a man wearing a black jacket, a black toque, a black facemask, sunglasses, black pants, and black shoes.

Crews battled “fire whirls” in California’s Mojave National Preserve this weekend as a massive wildfire crossed into Nevada amid dangerously high temperatures and raging winds. The York Fire was mapped at roughly 120 square miles (284 square kilometers) on Monday with no containment. The blaze erupted Friday near the remote Caruthers Canyon area of the vast wildland preserve, crossed the state line into Nevada on Sunday and sent smoke further east into the Las Vegas Valley. For related, see: This map shows where the Bonny Fire is burning A smoky haze blotted out the sun midday on the Las Vegas Strip and obliterated views of mountains surrounding the city and suburbs. Because of low visibility, the Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas reported departure delays of nearly two hours.

(AP Photo/Ty O’Neil) A fire whirl — sometimes called a fire tornado — is a “spinning column of fire” that forms when intense heat and turbulent winds combine, according to the National Park Service. The vortexes — which can be anywhere from a few feet tall to several hundred feet high, with varying rotational speeds — were spotted Sunday on the north end of the York Fire. “While these can be fascinating to observe they are a very dangerous natural phenomena that can occur during wildfires,” the park service wrote. The whirls require high temperatures to form. In Searchlight, Nevada — an unincorporated area about 12 miles (19.31 kilometers) from the California border where the fire burned — Monday’s high was 100 degrees Fahrenheit (37.8 Celsius), according to the National Weather Service. For more, see: Our latest wildfire news Significant portions of the U.S. population have been subject to extreme heat in recent weeks. Worldwide, July has been so steamy thus far that scientists calculate it will be the hottest month ever recorded and likely the warmest to hit human civilization. Wind-driven flames 20 feet (6 meters) high in some spots charred tens of thousands of acres of blackbrush scrub, pinyon-juniper woodlands and the famous Joshua trees in the New York Mountains in San Bernardino County. Ileene Anderson, a senior scientist at the Center for Biological Diversity, said it could take the pinyon-juniper woodlands 200 to 300 years to become “a functional community again,” while the blackbrush scrub and Joshua trees are unlikely to regrow after this catastrophic blaze, which erupted without human intervention. “It will change the habitat possibly permanently,” Anderson said. Even more, deer and bighorn sheep could become trapped by the flames, she said. If any manage to survive the blaze, their resources in the newly scorched landscape would be severely limited. In 2020, the Dome Fire ripped through the preserve, ravaging one of the world’s largest Joshua tree forests. Conservationists, including Anderson, are trying to revitalize the land by planting new trees since the species usually isn’t able to make a comeback naturally after a wildfire.

Generally, most fires in the desert are caused by humans, Anderson said. The cause of the York Fire remains under investigation, though authorities say it started on private land within the preserve. Other details were not available Monday. To the southwest, the Bonny Fire burned about 3.6 square miles (9.3 square kilometers) in the rugged hills of Riverside County. The blaze was about 20% contained on Monday. More than 1,300 people were ordered to evacuate their homes Saturday near the community of Aguanga that is home to horse ranches and wineries. One firefighter was injured in the blaze. Gusty winds and the chance of thunderstorms into Tuesday will heighten the risk of renewed growth, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said in a statement.

A woman who was thrown to the ground and pepper-sprayed by a Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy outside a Lancaster grocery store said on Monday, July 31, she feared the deputy was trying to kill her. “The day of the incident, I thought that I was going to be killed,” Jacy Houseton said during a news conference with her attorney outside the WinCo grocery store in the 700 block of West Avenue K4, where the confrontation occurred on June 24. “He tried to kill me. And for what? Because I was taking a picture? Or taking a video?” Cellphone and body-camera video of the confrontation have been widely circulated online, raising questions about the tactics employed by the deputy. Houseton and her attorney, Caree Harper, called for the deputy to be fired and charged with battery. “It doesn’t happen to white folks like this, and we’re not going to have it happen to Black folks like this,” Harper said. Sheriff Robert Luna has called the video “disturbing” and said a full and “objective” investigation was being conducted. Luna has said deputies went to the store in response to a call from an employee who said two customers “were assaulting loss-prevention employees.” Video shows two deputies at the scene in the store parking lot, one of them detaining a man who Luna said matched the description of one suspect given by store officials. As that person is being detained, a second deputy approaches a woman — now identified as Houseton — standing nearby using her cellphone to record the deputies’ actions. The deputy grabs the woman and eventually forcibly throws her to the ground, then struggles to handcuff her, ultimately using pepper spray in an effort to detain her. The video has drawn the ire of community activists and residents who contend the confrontation is reflective of violent behavior by deputies in the Lancaster area — where the Sheriff’s Department is still operating under federal oversight due to a consent decree. Luna said Houseton and her companion — Damon Barnes — went into the WinCo store together and were both involved in an altercation with store security. Video has since surfaced from inside the WinCo, showing the pair interacting with security officers, with some observers saying it shows Houseton shoving and even spitting at the security team. But Harper dismissed such assertions as an attempt to distract from what occurred in the parking lot. “The video I looked at, unless you were presently there and you could see projectiles coming from her mouth, you can’t say what she’s doing,” Harper said. “But that is to distract from the felony battery that occurred in the parking lot. … And let me tell you this, the sheriff’s deputy who beat up my client cannot be saved by subsequently learned things that occurred in the store.” Luna has said that Houseton and Barnes were arrested, then cited and released, on alleged violations including resisting an officer, attempted petty theft and interfering with a businesses. According to Luna, Houseton was taken to a hospital and treated for pain to her eyes from the pepper spray and abrasions on her arms. Harper said Houseton suffered a fracture to one of her arms during the altercation. Luna asked anyone who witnessed the confrontation or who may have additional video to come forward.

On Monday, a street that holds so much of Dominique Morgan's personal history became a tribute to her life and advocacy.

Taylor Street holds a special place in Dominique Morgan's heart. The street is home to her childhood house, where she learned to ride a bike and began to question the world around her. It is the place where, at the age of 12, she first found herself involved in the criminal justice system. On Monday, the street that holds so much of Morgan's personal history became a tribute to her life and advocacy, as a sign was unveiled renaming the block of Taylor Street between 25th Avenue and 25th Street to Dominique Morgan Street. "I love this city," Morgan said through tears before the new sign was unveiled. "This street is where I learned how to ride a bike. This street is where my parents did their best trying to take care of four kids; where my daddy walked to work at M.U.D., where my mom cleaned houses." About 50 people gathered on Monday afternoon to celebrate the street renaming, which the Omaha City Council voted unanimously to approve last week. Morgan, an activist focused on the rights of incarcerated and LGBTQ+ individuals, is believed to be the first Black transgender woman to have a street named after her in Nebraska. Morgan, 41, no longer lives in Omaha — she moved to Atlanta, Georgia, late last year. But her dedication to advocacy began on the very street that now bears her name. After spending about a decade within Nebraska's prison system, Morgan was determined to find a way to positively contribute to her community upon her release in 2009. She worked her way into leadership positions at community organizations like Heartland Pride, Charles Drew Health Center and the Nebraska Democratic Party. In 2018, Morgan was chosen to serve as the national director of Black and Pink, a prison abolitionist organization and one of the country's largest advocacy groups for currently and formerly incarcerated LGBTQ+ people. She held that role for about five years, bringing a higher profile and much larger budget to the once-small nonprofit. In recent years, Morgan has garnered national attention for her work. She's won awards and appeared in ad campaigns for brands like Spotify and Apple. But friends and family who attended Morgan's celebration Monday said that the prestige never mattered to Morgan — it was always about lifting up others. "Dominique always says that no one is the worst thing that they've ever done," said Tena Hahn Rodriguez, who has known Morgan since high school. "I think that's what this street represents: At any point in time you can change your life and you can become the person that others need. That's what she's done — she's dedicated her life to uplifting and helping others. And very rarely do the people doing that genuine work get the credit."

TOKYO, July 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Astellas Pharma Inc. (TSE: 4503, President and CEO: Naoki Okamura, "Astellas") today announced that the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of the China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) has accepted the Biologics License Application (BLA) for zolbetuximab, a first-in-class investigational Claudin 18.2 (CLDN18.2)-targeted monoclonal antibody, for first-line treatment of patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic HER2-negative gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma whose tumors are CLDN18.2-positive. If approved, zolbetuximab would be the first CLDN18.2-targeted therapy available in China for these patients. Astellas stands on the forefront of healthcare change to turn innovative science into value for patients.(PRNewsFoto/Astellas Pharma Inc.) (PRNewswire) Moitreyee Chatterjee-Kishore, PhD, MBA, Senior Vice President and Head of Immuno-Oncology Development, Astellas "China accounts for nearly half of the world's new cases of gastric cancer, with more than 478,000 new cases diagnosed and more than 373,000 deaths in 2020. The CDE's acceptance of our BLA for zolbetuximab brings us one step closer to having a new therapy available for Chinese patients with advanced-stage disease and in need of treatment options." The BLA is based on results from the Phase 3 GLOW and SPOTLIGHT clinical trials. The GLOW study evaluated zolbetuximab plus CAPOX (a combination chemotherapy regimen that includes capecitabine and oxaliplatin) compared to placebo plus CAPOX. In the GLOW study, 145 patients were randomized in mainland China. The SPOTLIGHT study evaluated zolbetuximab plus mFOLFOX6 (a combination regimen that includes oxaliplatin, leucovorin and fluorouracil) compared to placebo plus mFOLFOX6. In the SPOTLIGHT study, 36 patients were randomized in mainland China. In both GLOW and SPOTLIGHT, approximately 38% of patients screened for the trials had tumors that were CLDN18.2-positive (≥75% of tumor cells with moderate-to-strong membranous CLDN18 staining intensity), as determined by a validated immunohistochemistry assay.1,2 Astellas has already reflected the impact from this acceptance in its financial forecast of the current fiscal year ending March 31, 2024. About Locally Advanced Unresectable or Metastatic Gastric and Gastroesophageal Junction Cancer Gastric cancer, also commonly known as stomach cancer, is the fifth most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide.3 In China, gastric cancer ranks third among incidences of all cancer, with more than 478,000 cases diagnosed and more than 373,000 deaths in 2020.4 Signs and symptoms can include indigestion or heartburn, pain or discomfort in the abdomen, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea or constipation, bloating of the stomach after meals, loss of appetite, and sensation of food getting stuck in the throat while eating.5 Signs of more advanced gastric cancer can include unexplained weight loss, weakness and fatigue and vomiting blood or having blood in the stool.6 Risk factors associated with gastric cancer can include older age, male gender, family history, H. pylori infection, smoking and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).5,7 Because early-stage gastric cancer symptoms frequently overlap with more common stomach-related conditions, gastric cancer is often diagnosed in the advanced or metastatic stage, or once it has spread from the tumor's origin to other body tissues or organs.5 The five-year relative survival rate for patients at the metastatic stage is 6.6%.8 Gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma is a cancer that starts at the area where the esophagus joins the stomach.9 About Zolbetuximab Zolbetuximab is an investigational, first-in-class chimeric IgG1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) that targets and binds to Claudin 18.2 (CLDN18.2), a transmembrane protein. Zolbetuximab acts by binding to CLDN18.2 on the cancer cell surface of gastric epithelial cells. In pre-clinical studies, this binding interaction then induces cancer cell death by activating two distinct immune system pathways — antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC).10 Zolbetuximab has not been approved by any regulatory bodies for the treatment of patients with gastric and GEJ cancers, and there is no guarantee the agent will receive regulatory approval or become commercially available for the uses being investigated. INVESTIGATIONAL STUDIES About GLOW Phase 3 Clinical Trial GLOW is a Phase 3, global, multi-center, double-blind, randomized study, assessing the efficacy and safety of zolbetuximab (IMAB362) plus CAPOX (a combination chemotherapy regimen that includes capecitabine and oxaliplatin) compared to placebo plus CAPOX as a first-line treatment in patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic HER2-negative gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma whose tumors were CLDN18.2-positive. The study enrolled 507 patients at 166 study locations in the U.S., Canada, United Kingdom, Europe, South America and Asia, including China. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS) in participants treated with the combination of zolbetuximab plus CAPOX compared to those treated with placebo plus CAPOX. Secondary endpoints include overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), duration of response (DOR), safety and tolerability and quality-of-life parameters. Data from the GLOW study were initially presented at the March 2023 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Plenary Series with an updated oral presentation at the 2023 ASCO Annual Meeting on June 3.1 For more information, please visit clinicaltrials.gov under Identifier NCT03653507. About SPOTLIGHT Phase 3 Clinical Trial SPOTLIGHT is a Phase 3, global, multi-center, double-blind, randomized study, assessing the efficacy and safety of zolbetuximab (IMAB362) plus mFOLFOX6 (a combination regimen that includes oxaliplatin, leucovorin and fluorouracil) compared to placebo plus mFOLFOX6 as a first-line treatment in patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic HER2-negative gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma whose tumors were CLDN18.2-positive. The study enrolled 565 patients at 215 study locations in the U.S., Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, Europe, South America and Asia, including China. The primary endpoint is PFS in participants treated with the combination of zolbetuximab plus mFOLFOX6 compared to those treated with placebo plus mFOLFOX6. Secondary endpoints include OS, ORR, DOR, safety and tolerability and quality-of-life parameters. Data from the SPOTLIGHT clinical trial were presented during the 2023 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Gastrointestinal (GI) Cancers Symposium in an oral presentation on January 19 and were subsequently published in The Lancet on April 14.2 For more information, please visit clinicaltrials.gov under Identifier NCT03504397. Investigational Pipeline in CLDN18.2 An expanded Phase 2 trial in metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma is in progress. The trial is a randomized, multi-center, open-label study, evaluating the safety and efficacy of investigational zolbetuximab in combination with gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel as a first-line treatment in patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma with CLDN18.2-positive tumors (defined as ≥75% of tumor cells demonstrating moderate-to-strong membranous CLDN18 staining based on a validated immunohistochemistry assay). For more information, please visit clinicaltrials.gov under Identifier NCT03816163. In addition to zolbetuximab, ASP2138 is under development in our Primary Focus Immuno-Oncology. ASP2138 is a bispecific monoclonal antibody that binds to CD3 and CLDN18.2, and it is currently in a Phase 1 trial for people with gastric, GEJ or pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The safety and efficacy of the agent under investigation have not been established for the uses being considered. For more information, please visit clinicaltrials.gov under Identifier NCT05365581. There is no guarantee that the agent will receive regulatory approval and become commercially available for the uses being investigated.

Results Show an Alternative Twice as Effective Compared to Antidepressant Medications LONDON, July 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Flow Neuroscience, the creators of the Flow tDCS headset that provides at-home non-invasive brain stimulation to treat depression, today announced the results of its FDA pivotal clinical trial. The trial results show that the Flow headset was twice as effective as the most commonly-prescribed antidepressants in the treatment of depression.* In July 2022, Flow received FDA Breakthrough Device Designation, demonstrating the innovative nature of the platform and the significant advantages it offers over existing approved or cleared alternatives. It was the first medical device in the category to achieve this status. Flow is now being reviewed for full FDA approval, which would make this device available as an at-home treatment option in the U.S. In a study of patients in the US and the UK, the largest-ever clinical trial of its kind, 56% of the participants using the Flow tDCS headset were relieved of all depressive symptoms within 10 weeks**. Daily use of Flow was confirmed to be safe with minimal side effects. Flow has already been granted regulatory approval in Europe where it is available over the counter via Flow's website and in major UK pharmacies. More than 12,000 people and 100 clinics/hospitals in Europe use Flow today, including NHS partnerships. Preliminary results include: The trial sites at the University of Texas and the University of East London measured the effectiveness and safety of the tDCS headset designed by Flow Neuroscience. 173 patients were taken through the at-home treatment program, completely remotely and with minimal supervision, over a 10-week period. This was the largest ever US/UK tDCS study for the treatment of depression. 56% of patients in the treatment group went into remission (complete relief from depression symptoms), and 62% had a clinical response (more than 50% improvement in depressive symptoms.)** The study showed that participants had greater than three times higher odds of getting substantially better if they got the active treatment vs if they got placebo/sham stimulation, approximately double the average effect size witnessed in the trials for the 21 best-selling antidepressants reviewed by the FDA. No major side effects were reported from the treatment group. Flow's study results come at a time when depression is at an all-time high among U.S. adults, but with nearly half of Americans in 2021 reporting they did not seek help for clinical-level mental health issues, citing an increased desire for self-help options. The Flow tDCS headset and treatment is conveniently administered at home five times a week, creating an effective, safe, and accessible treatment option for depression. How Flow works: The Flow headset uses a brain-stimulation technique called tDCS to target the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, which is the area of the brain associated with depression. Depression is associated with lowered activity in the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex (DLPFC). This area of the brain helps regulate mood, and focus, and can even impact sleep and appetite. When this area of the brain has lower activity, these functions are affected. By delivering a weak electrical current (2 mA) to the DLPFC via electrodes placed on the forehead, activity increases in this part of the brain. This addresses what some researchers believe is one of the physical causes of depression. Since Flow can target specific brain areas involved in depression directly, users experience little to no side effects compared to antidepressants. Allan Young (Chair of Mood Disorders, Director of Centre for Affective Disorders in the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology, and Neuroscience at King's College London) said: "These exciting and encouraging new data raise the prospect of a real advance in the treatment of depression. Major depression is undertreated throughout the world, and all of the currently widely used treatment modalities have significant limitations. The nature of this treatment, being both effective and well tolerated, means that it is a treatment which may be widely adopted and should be a helpful intervention for many people suffering from major depression." Azhar Zafar (GPA Director of Research, NHS GP, and Senior Lecturer at the University of Buckingham) said: "These findings are incredibly promising and align with the valuable insights gained from utilizing Flow in primary care. Flow has gained significant popularity among our NHS patients, and a considerable number of them willingly opt for Flow when presented with the choice for the treatment of depression with or without pharmacotherapy. This positive reception speaks volumes about the effectiveness and patient satisfaction associated with Flow." Flow Neuroscience co-founder Daniel Månsson said: "Depression is one of the most common mood disorders, and unfortunately, it is also one of the hardest to treat. Our core mission was to create a treatment that is effective and accessible to as many people as possible in their own homes, with little to no side effects. The results of this clinical trial show how effective this treatment has become and how breakthroughs are still possible in the treatment of depression." Corey Keller (Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University) said: 'These results show clear separation of active and sham treatment arms in a large, multisite, randomized controlled trial for at-home low-intensity brain stimulation for depression. Flow's novel brain stimulation approach could offer valuable opportunities for individuals to manage their depression from home effectively, signaling a very promising development in mental health treatment.'

The study showed that participants had greater than three times higher odds of getting substantially better if they got the active treatment vs if they got placebo/sham stimulation, approximately double the average effect size witnessed in the trials for the 21 best-selling antidepressants reviewed by the FDA. **Measured by the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS). The trial was also measured by the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS-17), and results demonstrated 45% clinical remission and 55% had an improvement of at least 50%.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A brightly flashing “X” sign has been removed from the San Francisco headquarters of the company formerly known as Twitter just days after it was installed. The San Francisco Department of Building Inspection said Monday it received 24 complaints about the unpermitted structure over the weekend. Complaints included concerns about its structural safety and illumination. The Elon Musk-owned company, which has been rebranded as X, had removed the Twitter sign and iconic blue bird logo from the building last week. That work was temporarily paused because the company did not have the necessary permits. For a time, the “er” at the end of “Twitter” remained up due to the abrupt halt of the sign takedown. The city of San Francisco had opened a complaint and launched an investigation into the giant “X” sign, which was installed Friday on top of the downtown building as Musk continues his rebrand of the social media platform. The chaotic rebrand of Twitter’s building signage is similar to the haphazard way in which the Twitter platform is being turned into X. While the X logo has replaced Twitter on many parts of the site and app, remnants of Twitter remain. Representatives for X did not immediately respond to a message for comment Monday.

SHANGHAI, July 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Everest Medicines (HKEX 1952.HK, "Everest", or the "Company"), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development, manufacturing and commercialization of innovative medicines and vaccines, announced today the completion of patient enrollment for the China open-label extension (cOLE) of the Phase 3 NefIgArd study. The cOLE study offers an additional 9 months of treatment with Nefecon® to all qualifying patients who have completed the NefIgArd study and will evaluate the efficacy and safety of extended and repeated Nefecon® treatment in patients with IgA Nephropathy (IgAN). The Phase 3 NefIgArd clinical trial is a randomized, double-blind, multicenter study which assessed the efficacy and safety of Nefecon® versus placebo on a background of optimized RAS inhibitor therapy. The study met its primary endpoint, with Nefecon® demonstrating a highly statistically significant benefit over placebo (p value < 0.0001) in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) over the two-year period of 9-months of treatment with Nefecon® or placebo and 15-months of off drug follow-up. Patients in the cOLE study will continue on RAS inhibitor therapy (ACEs and/or ARBs) and be treated for 9 months with Nefecon® at 16mg/day. At the end of the treatment period, change in eGFR and urine protein to creatinine ratio (UPCR) will be evaluated. "The results of the cOLE study will offer insight into the value of extended and repeated use of Nefecon® and provide very important guidance for doctors in clinical practice," said Rogers Yongqing Luo, Chief Executive Officer of Everest Medicines. The China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) accepted Everest's New Drug Application (NDA) for Nefecon® for the treatment of IgAN in November 2022. The NMPA has also granted Nefecon® break-through therapy designation and NDA priority review. Nefecon® was the first non-oncology drug to receive break-through therapy designation in China. About Nefecon® Nefecon® is a patented oral, delayed release formulation of budesonide, a corticosteroid with potent glucocorticoid activity and weak mineralocorticoid activity that undergoes substantial first pass metabolism. The formulation is designed as a delayed release capsule that is enteric coated so that it remains intact until it releases budesonide to the distal ileum. Each capsule contains coated beads of budesonide that target mucosal B-cells present in the ileum where the disease originates, as per the predominant pathogenesis models. In June 2019, Everest Medicines entered into an exclusive, royalty-bearing license agreement with Calliditas, which gives Everest Medicines exclusive rights to develop and commercialize Nefecon® in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and Singapore. The agreement was extended in March 2022 to include South Korea as part of Everest Medicine's territories. Nefecon® was approved in the United States under accelerated approval based on a reduction in proteinuria. Recently announced topline results from the global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 clinical trial NefIgArd demonstrated a statistically significant benefit for Nefecon® over placebo in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), a measure of renal function. About Everest Medicines Everest Medicines is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing, manufacturing and commercializing transformative pharmaceutical products and vaccines that address critical unmet medical needs for patients in Asian markets. The management team of Everest Medicines has deep expertise and an extensive track record from both leading global pharmaceutical companies and local Chinese pharmaceutical companies in high-quality discovery, clinical development, regulatory affairs, CMC, business development and operations. Everest Medicines has built a portfolio of potentially global first-in-class or best-in-class molecules, many of which are in late-stage clinical development. The Company's therapeutic areas of interest include renal diseases, infectious diseases, mRNA platform and autoimmune disorders.

Second-year Head Coach Michael Pittman will be leading the team with a new Quarterback in Tyson Brents after the graduation of Keaton Sena. [Tyson is] “A little different style than Keaton, but I think he’s going to be effective, you know, he had a good year on the JV and we expect big things out of him,” said Pittman. “We just want to be the best we can and just go rounds deep in the playoffs and win another district championship,” said Brents.“I’m feeling really good about Tyson, he’s looking real good, for it being the first day, we’ve gotten a lot of plays down,” said Elijah Hernandez. Some more changes will be Trey Larson converting from receiver to running back giving the Golden Cranes more flexibility on offense. “I mean, he’ll just have to trust me with the hand-offs and, that’s pretty much it. We have Kevin Iniguez at tight end, we have Joel, he’s a strong hitter, I think he’ll be good at fullback, we have Carlos Garcia he’s great, Angel Reyes and Lucas Bernard,” said Trey Larson.On the other side of the ball, Coach Pittman will have several returners to lead the defense.“Joel Hernandez is our Middle Linebacker, he’s back, I thought he had a really good season last year, Ivan Martinez, he’s a d-line for us, he was a starter last year, our secondary, we got a lot of kids back in our secondary, and I think our secondary is going to be pretty good”, said Pittman

Monahans returns its all-state quarterback and a good supporting cast from a team that made it to the state quarterfinals last season.

MONAHANS, Texas (KOSA) - High school football practices began on Monday, and Monahans wasted no time, starting as soon as the clock struck midnight. “They enjoy doing it, so we keep doing it,” Head Coach Fred Staugh said. “That’s what the players want, and they rarely get to tell me what they want. So this is one of those cases where we say ‘Sure, let’s do it’.” Monahans is coming off it’s best season in over a decade, with the Loboes going 10-4, and playing for the regional championship. “When you look back at it, you’re mired in an 0-3 start, everybody’s grumpy,” Staugh said, remembering last season. “And then we won 10 in a row. You look up and you’re in the 4th round of the playoffs playing in December. It was really special for us.” Quarterback Cheno Navarrette accounted for 3500 yards of offense and scored 43 touchdowns to lead that magical run. He’s back for his 4th year as the starter. “It’s been a blessing to play this long,” Navarrette said. “And to play with so many friends and so many different teams.” “It’s great to have someone like Cheno on the team,” senior linebacker David Carrasco said. “He’s a great leader. He keeps us rallied up. And he’s good.” “You never know where he’s gonna go,” junior lineman Nathan Marquez said. “He takes care of us, and we do our best to take care of him.” Monahans brings back a deep receiver group, and Marquez already has 27 starts in his first two years on the offensive line. “Honestly, offensively we could come out and run all the stuff we ran last year, right now without installing it,” Staugh said. “I think all of our wide receivers are tough,” Navarrette said. “Nathan Wessels, Ben Cordova, our Y, David Carrasco. Our H’s, Malachi and A.J. I think we’ll be good.” On defense, fast linebackers Carrasco and Alex Palmateer each had over 130 tackles last season. “We’re at a level where we can start where we left of last year,” Carrasco said. Coach Staugh said this team had the best offseason of any group in his five years at Monahans. “We want to go 10-0,” he added. “We want to win a district championship. We want to win playoff games. We want to play in December again. But we won’t focus on that. We’ll focus on us and being better one rep at a time.” Monahans opens the season at home on Friday August 25 against Shallowater.

Following Sinéad O’Connor’s death, her 2021 memoir Rememberings has soared to the top of the bestseller lists. Last Wednesday, the beloved pop star was found “unresponsive” at her London home. She was 56. In Rememberings, O’Connor recounted the story of her controversial and celebrated career from her point of view. The Irish singer rose to fame in the late 1980s and ’90s with several gold records, and jumped to stardom after covering Prince’s “Nothing Compares 2 U” — perhaps her best known hit single. READ MORE: Bob Geldof Recalls Final Texts From Sinéad O’Connor Both ‘Full Of Desperation’ And ‘Ecstatically Happy’ Before Her Death In 1992, the musician’s career quickly fell apart after she protested on “Saturday Night Live”, in which she tore up a photo of Pope John Paul II while staring directly into a camera. However, O’Connor felt otherwise. “I feel that having a No. 1 record derailed my career,” she wrote in the book, “and my tearing the photo put me back on the right track.” READ MORE: Sinéad O’Connor Instructed Her Kids To Protect Her Art And Finances After Her Death Elsewhere in the memoir, O’Connor looks back at her life before fame, beginning with her troubled childhood as she grew up in a dysfunctional home in Dublin with her abusive family. She escaped into music after discovering Bob Dylan from her older brother, then made her way to local Irish bands. O’Connor went on to wrap her first album while eight months pregnant. O’Connor’s life story was also recounted recently in Katheryn Ferguson’s 2022 documentary “Nothing Compares”, which is currently available to stream on Hulu.
