Amid 90-degree heat, she spent hours canvassing tourists in front of the White House for donations to help refugees in Ukraine, her family said. As she finished her shift on Thursday last week, a storm gathered overhead, thickening with clouds, rain and thunderstorms. That Thursday happened to be her 28th birthday, her family said. So while Amber waited for her husband to pick her up for a celebratory dinner, she once again sought refuge in the same tree, huddling with three others under its outstretched branches, according to her family and authorities....

The big picture: This could become a full-time act for private equity accountants. What you need to know: We don’t yet have the full legislative text of Manchin’s bill, with Senate Democrats providing only a one-page summary. However, multiple sources say that the porting change will be removed from the House version of Build Back Better (RIP). This does not reclassify carried interest as ordinary income, which everyone agrees would be the cleanest way to close the loophole (even among those who bristle at the suggestion that it’s a loophole)....

Basically, there isn’t much difference between a battery bank you buy from Anker and a power tool battery from DeWalt — both generally contain the same 18650 Li-ion cells. But to do all of this, your power tool batteries they would need a powerful USB-C port. And that wasn’t really a thing… until now.

NASA, after three failed attempts to complete a wet dress rehearsal of its Space Launch System, has decided to return its gigantic rocket to the Vehicle Assembly Building. The move will likely mean further delays to the Artemis 1 uncrewed mission to the Moon. Space is hard—we get it—but the recently unconcluded SLS wet dress rehearsal was just plain sad. Indeed, NASA couldn’t even complete a modified launch rehearsal this past Thursday, in which ground crews were attempting to load the rocket’s core stage with cryogenic propellants....

Ms Truss has vowed to wage “war” on Civil Service waste if she wins the Tory leadership contest and becomes prime minister, and one of her pledges is to reduce the number of diversity officer posts. Mr Rees-Mogg, the government efficiency minister who is a leading supporter of Ms Truss, said he backed the move as he claimed diversity officers were doing “nothing useful”. He argued that responsibility for improving diversity in Whitehall must lie with the people who actually make employment decisions....

Just an hour before the doctor called it a day, he decided to reach for a book. Speaking on his podcast Just One Thing, he said: “Taking time out of your day to read a novel can have impressive benefits, improving brain connectivity, creating new neural pathways and even protecting against dementia.” If you already enjoying getting lost in the pages of good fiction, great. However, if reading isn’t your thing, research might convince you to give it a go....

Einziger Torschütze des Abends war BVB-Kapitän Marco Reus, der mit seinem 145. Bundesliga-Tor zum 59. Mal zum 1:0 führte. Über einen souveränen Sieg freute sich in Dortmund allerdings niemand, denn Leverkusen war vor allem in der zweiten Halbzeit die stärkere Mannschaft. Es brauchte also einen Gregor Kobel in Topform, um die ersten drei Saisonpunkte der Dortmunder zu halten. Bundesliga Danke an Kobel: Der BVB zittert um den ersten Sieg VOR 13 STUNDEN Drei Dinge, die bei Borussia Dortmund gegen Bayer Leverkusen aufgefallen sind....

MittelHAUSEN und Bern, 2. August 2022 – Als Reaktion auf die SARS-CoV-2-Pandemie wurden zahlreiche Forschungsprojekte lanciert, um Impfstoffe gegen diesen neuen Erreger zu entwickeln. In einer aktuellen Veröffentlichung in der Zeitschrift Nature portfolio npj Vaccines berichten Forschende des Instituts für Virologie und Immunologie (IVI) und der Universität Bern über einen Vektor-Impfstoffkandidaten gegen COVID-19, der auf dem Vesikulären-Stomatitis-Virus (VSV) als Vektor basiert. basierend. Ihre Arbeit zeigt, dass die intramuskuläre Immunisierung von Mäusen mit VSV-Vektor-basierten COVID-19-Impfstoffen nur dann eine starke Antikörperantwort gegen SARS-CoV-2 hervorruft, wenn der Vektor mit dem VSV-Glykoprotein G ergänzt wird....

Nous ne changeons pas les traditions démocratiques. Comme chaque été, le président de la République est arrivé vendredi soir au Fort de Brégançon, dans le Var, l’une des résidences officielles du chef de l’Etat depuis 1968. Après avoir présidé le dernier conseil des ministres ce vendredi, revenu de sa tournée en Afrique et accueilli de façon controversée le prince héritier saoudien Mohammed ben Salmane aux Élysées, Emmanuel Macron s’accorde une petite pause estivale....

La Première ministre Elizabeth Bourne a activé vendredi la cellule interministérielle de crise face à la “sécheresse exceptionnelle”, qualifiant la situation d’”historique”. “Cette sécheresse est la plus sévère jamais enregistrée dans notre pays” et “la situation pourrait perdurer dans les 15 prochains jours voire devenir encore plus alarmante”, souligne Matignon. Cependant, la France a déjà été frappée par de grandes sécheresses. Ainsi, en 2011, un certain Bruno Lemaire, alors ministre de l’Agriculture de Nicolas Sarkozy, redoutait un épisode “encore plus terrible” que celui de 1976....

But overhauling the entire energy infrastructure of this country in a short period of time represents an unprecedented technical challenge that will cost hundreds of billions of dollars, experts say. And pessimists are quick to point out that Canada does not have a good recent record of achieving ambitious, expensive infrastructure over the finish line. In Alberta in particular – where the ghosts of canceled pipelines continue to haunt the public consciousness – some observers believe the country has lost the political will and spirit of national unity needed to make great things happen....

But both candidates for the next Conservative Party leader failed to fully commit to the letter’s main demands, which were that girls get two hours of PE lessons every week and that every girl in the country has the same access to football as boys ....

The England camp have been “electric” since reaching the Euro 2022 final and Lauren Hebb admits “there were tears at full-time”. The Manchester City forward spent more of the tournament smiling than crying, even during the national anthem. “I just think that every time the camera is on me, I just laugh to myself,” she says. “Obviously I’m always focused on the game, but that’s my way of relaxing – just being myself, the smiling person that I am....

As a thank you, I’d love to see the Lionesses do an open bus parade in every city that hosted a match.” Good idea. Sheffield, Brighton, Southampton and Manchester are at a standstill. Opportunities abound and, writes Jonathan Liew, the future is bright: England won....
