…..Fewer quits. Small biz optimism fades. Oil glut continues. Grain glut continues. New York offers free tuition and details. Retail death spiral. Fly the friendly skies of United. More on the Wells Fargo report.
The Labor Department's JOLT survey, or Job Openings and Labor Turnover, shows job openings rose 2.1 percent in February to a seasonally adjusted 5.7 million. While more employers are seeking workers, hiring fell 2 percent compared to January to 5.3 million. Job openings have increased 3.2 percent over the past 12 months. More than 2.5 million people quit their jobs in February, but that was a sharp 19.6 percent decline from January. More people quitting their job is a positive sign because workers typically only quit one job when they have another job, or are optimistic they can find one. And the reason workers change jobs is typically motivated by better pay. So, this is where optimism meets reality.
The National Federation of Independent Business said its monthly sentiment gauge fell 0.6 point to 104.7. Small business optimism declined as sales expectations and earnings came back to earth after a post-election surge. In March, some warning signs appeared. The uncertainty index rose to 93, its second-highest reading on record. "More small business owners are having a difficult time anticipating the factors that affect their businesses, especially government policy," noted Bill Dunkelberg, the groups' chief economist. But pessimism was widespread in March. Of 10 survey components, only three notched an increase. Owners say they're still struggling to find qualified labor: 85% report few or no qualified applicants for open positions. More survey respondents said finding qualified workers was their single biggest business problem — more than those citing weak sales. Economic expectations remain "very elevated," with 46% expecting better conditions six months from now.
OPEC states cut oil output in March by more than they pledged under supply curbs and Saudi Arabia has told OPEC officials it wants to continue output cuts for an additional six months. Those cuts are being matched by US production. US crude inventories have touched record highs at the storage hub of Cushing, Oklahoma, and in the Gulf Coast in recent weeks.
World stockpiles of corn and wheat are at record highs. From Iowa to China, years of bumper crops and low prices have overwhelmed storage capacity for basic foodstuffs. Global stocks of corn, wheat, rice and soybeans combined will hit a record 671 million tons going into the next harvest – the third straight year of historically high surplus, according to the Department of Agriculture. In the United States, farmers facing a fourth straight year of declining incomes and rising debts are hanging on to grain in the hope of higher prices later. They may be waiting a long time. The overflow in the United States has prompted a rush for temporary storage. The USDA has approved permits for more than 1.2 billion bushels of temporary and emergency grain storage – such as tarp-covered piles and open-air mounds. That's a record amount, according to the USDA. The USDA forecasts net farm income will fall 8.7 percent this year to $62.3 billion – the lowest level since 2009.
New York lawmakers have approved a plan to make attending public colleges and universities free for students from middle-class families. New York is the first state to offer free four-year tuition. Previously, Tennessee and Oregon created programs that made community college tuition-free. Altogether, the program is expected to cost New York $163 million and is expected to benefit roughly 940,000 families; although it might require a college degree to understand the details. The New York plan, nicknamed the Excelsior Scholarship, will be phased in over three years: Families earning up to $100,000 a year will qualify in 2017, families making up to $110,000 per year can participate in 2018 and families with income up to $125,000 can take part in the program in 2019. Students must first apply for, and use, other money like federal Pell Grants, before turning to the scholarship. By zeroing out tuition, low-income students won't be able to use their other scholarship and grant money to cover living expenses. Books, fees, food, housing and incidentals aren't covered by this scholarship, so students without family support must work or borrow. The Excelsior Scholarship is good for two years for a two-year program like an associate's degree, or four years for a four-year program. Only about one-third of students earn a degree in 4 years or less. There will be deferments for graduate school and "extreme hardship." The plan also requires students to work in New York state for at least two years after they receive an associate's degree, or four years post-bachelor's. If they leave, the full grant retroactively becomes a loan. This is how New York taxpayers will be repaid for their investment in a more educated workforce.
It's only April, and nine retailers have already filed for bankruptcy since the start of the year — as many as all of last year. Annual retail bankruptcies peaked at a total of 20 in 2008 — a level that the US could reach by September if the current rate of filings continues. Payless ShoeSource, hhgregg, The Limited, RadioShack, BCBG, Wet Seal, Gormans, Eastern Outfitters, and Gander Mountain are among the retailers that have filed for bankruptcy so far this year, and most are closing hundreds of stores as a result. On top of those closures, retailers that are staying in business — at least for now — are shutting down a record number of stores. More than 3,500 stores are expected to close over the next several months.
Traditional retailers with large fleets of physical stores have been hit the hardest. Visits to shopping malls have been declining for years with the rise of e-commerce and titanic shifts in how shoppers spend their money. Visits declined by 50% between 2010 and 2013. Malls across the country are struggling to stay open as stores close in droves. But it's getting increasingly more difficult to find replacements for lost tenants.
By now you've seen the video of the United Airlines passenger dragged off the plane. This is a case study that will be re-lived in textbooks for years; an example of how not to do it. United Airlines CEO Oscar Munoz today released another statement regarding the violent removal of a fare-paying passenger from one of his airline's flights over the weekend. After two poorly received releases on Monday, Munoz has finally apologized to the customer. The tone of Munoz's latest statement is a departure from his first, which apologized only for having to "re-accommodate" certain passengers. Yea, I remember watching Mike Tyson re-accommodate his opponents in the ring, but I never saw it on an airplane. In a later letter, Munoz reaffirmed his support for his employees; their work just got much more difficult. And the apology would have resonated better if it had come out before United shares lost close to $1 billion in value intraday (shares closed down 1.1%, a loss of about $250 million). The incident is not all that surprising; rather it seems like a sign of the times.
Yesterday, we talked about the Wells Fargo report on its fake accounts scandal; which included $75 million in clawbacks from 2 key executives who were earlier fired. The chairman of the board was also making the media rounds trying to persuade skeptical newscasters that having Stumpf retain 3/4 of the pay he'd earned when the abuses were underway was adequate. The New York Times depicted the report as "scathing". In fact, it is a carefully crafted document to dump all responsibility on Stumpf and Toldstedt, both of whom clearly are culpable, and shield the board and the new CEO. Anyone who knows much about banking will see clear footprints that the board ignored basic risk management failures and poor governance structures. The report describes the glaring risk management failures. But the report tries to normalize them as being unfortunate features of how Wells did business that worked out badly rather than glaringly obvious control failures where not only top executives but ultimately the Board is responsible. Even worse, the report proves the board's negligence by indicating it had noticed a major deficiency, that control functions were reporting to unit/profit center managers like Tolstedt, in 2013, yet was leisurely about addressing it. Keep in mind that is exactly the same kind of deficient structure that led to the JP Morgan London Whale scandal. It is a basic risk management failure to have control staff report to profit center managers.
The fact that the total hard dollar customer losses were small despite the brazenness and scale of the fraud was the big reason the former CEO thought he could brazen this out. And given that sanctimonious Wells had taken vastly more from customers via foreclosure abuses, this lackadasical effort might have otherwise seem reasonable. After all, the traditional check on this kind of nickel and dime grifting, class action lawsuits, have become almost as rare as the dodo bird thanks to the successful efforts of Corporate America to cut them back. Several prosecutors are supposedly still looking into further action but don't expect much. Whistleblower retaliation claims and other types of wrongful termination suits could be affected to add up to more serious payouts, and even more important, continued media focus on Wells' bad conduct. Wells is not out of the woods, but sadly it is more likely to suffer the drip, drip, drip of individual cases than a prosecution or even a nice juicy civil suit against Stumpf or board members derelict in their duties. And that is the problem – airlines can beat a passenger senseless and drag him like a slab of meat off the plane; banks can lie, steal and cheat – and in an extreme example, someone gets fired, they lose their multimillion dollar bonus, and that is that. Nothing much more. Business as usual.


Such is the way of things in the wider world of dance that it has been almost three years since we last featured a piece of work from Tom Dale Dance. on that occasion it was Refugees of the Septic Heart and this time out it is a work for children entitled 'Digitopia'.
The work features two real life dancers, playing two characters called Dotty and Hex, and one other dancer in the form of automated, for the most part, video projection effects that cover the entire stage.
Tom Dale Company creates extraordinary performances that bring together urban contemporary dance, electronic music and digital art."
For our feature we spoke with company AD Tom Dale and also bring you footage from the work itself. 'Digitopia' continues to tour this year so check out the company website for more details about that.
The work is performed by Joshua Smith & Maria Olga Palliani with digital media by Barret Hodgson and interactive media by Noel Murphy and music composed by Jo Wills.
'Digitopia' was filmed at The Dance Lab in Newcastle upon Tyne on March 31st 2016.

Good morning!!! As most of you know, I rarely eat sugar and/or processed foods. I started that on April 9, and although my weight loss is a slow 23 pounds gone, I'm thankful for the loss. I'm also thankful for steady energy and better health because of those choices. Then there was yesterday. I ate probably 5 good handfuls of candy corn, and two bite size musketeers throughout my day. I had a really bad tummy ache last night and was asleep super early. I woke in the middle of the night and went into the kitchen for water…and way more Reese's peanut butter cups than would ever be ok. That's the most logical solution to an already angry feeling tummy, right? There's my confession. Blame it on PMS, stress or just a lapse in self-control but I'm pretty irritated with myself and even a bit shameful. I'm sharing because I just messed up and keeping it my dirty little secret just increases my guilt. Done. Over. Forgiven. It's a new day!!! I've had my candy corn fix for the year and my Halloween candy too. I'm sweet enough without that crap in my body.😇😂😂😂🤷♀ Anyway….have a beautiful day! And a little something unrelated to ponder… "Make sure all of your opinions aren't blocking people from seeing Jesus in you." -Bob Goff Love ya!

Can You Use Charcoal in a Gas Grill?
It's called a gas grill for a reason! Here's why you can't just throw charcoal in every gas grill, and why it matters.
Published July 21, 2022 By The EditorsCategorized as Gear
NariArt /Depositphotos
If there is an eternal debate that can stir up a heated debate between even the most amiable of grillers, it is over whether it's better to grill with propane or charcoal.
There's little doubt that both grilling forms have pros and cons.
Most novice grillers find that grilling with propane is easier than with charcoal. All they ought to do is fire up the grill, preheat for 15 to 20 minutes, then slap the food on the hot grate and get cooking.
And yet no one can deny that grilling with charcoal delivers a one-of-a-kind BBQ flavor that gas grills cannot match. Learning how to start a fire and control the heat takes a while (and a good amount of trial and error), but the results are least to say rewarding when you do.
But one question that lingers in the gray area, and that many a griller is too shy to ask, is whether you can use charcoal in a propane grill.
Now that's a pickle! Read on below to get to the answer—and a whole lot more.
No, you can't use charcoal in most natural gas or propane grills, and you're not supposed to. Most of these grills are designed to use only one type of fuel source, and that's propane from a 20-pound tank or natural gas from a hookup.
Just dumping a bunch of coals in a gas grill can create a hazardous situation and ruin the appliance. We explain why below.
Dangers of Putting Charcoal in Propane Grills
Here are just a few things that can happen if you put charcoal inside a grill designed exclusively for propane fuel.
Perhaps one of the biggest issues when it comes to adding charcoal inside a propane grill is clogging. The tiny fragments of burnt charcoal, ash, and debris are likely to clog up your grill's airways and vents.
This will cause serious ignition and/or usage issues with your grill in many cases, not allowing it to retain a fire at all due to the lack of oxygen. And a gas grill that doesn't burn fuel properly is one that isn't safe to use.
Irreparable Damage
Whether we like it or not, modern propane grills can be very delicate. They're nothing like the clunkers they used to sell at the home improvement store a decade or two ago.
They have components designed to handle only the heat created from the grill's gas burners and not from other fuel sources such as charcoal. Placing charcoal inside a propane grill can damage these components, which will have to either be replaced or require the purchase of another grill.
Clean-up is never a fun job, and with many propane grills, it can be a real pain just cleaning up your normal gunk and grease left over from cooking normally.
However, those problems compound when you throw charcoal into the mix. Stuck pieces of charcoal, ashes, and debris can make cleaning out your propane grill much harder, if not virtually impossible.
There are certain exceptions when it comes to using charcoal in propane grills, such as grills designed to use both. These newer grills allow you to achieve the best of both worlds while preventing damage to your grill.
Many will include charcoal trays that make it easy for your lit propane burners to ignite the charcoal. However, many models only allow you to use one or the other while cooking. Your gas burner does not stay on while the charcoal is lit.
Then you have the two-in-one models that feature two separate cooking areas for grilling with charcoal and propane. This can be very useful for creating cooking zones as the propane side tends to burn hotter, which is perfect for searing, while the charcoal side can be used for longer cooks and adding those delicious smokey notes to foods.
Another option might be a grill that accommodates a smoker box allowing you to add materials such as wood and coal to deliver a smokey flavor to your food.
Which Is Cheaper? Grilling With Gas or With Charcoal?
When it comes to price, propane grills will usually cost more than charcoal grills. And the newer models that accommodate both will likely be the most expensive.
As for operational costs, propane wins again as you can generally get more cooks out of a 20-pound canister of propane versus a 20-pound bag of charcoal
Propane is usually much cheaper by the pound than charcoal, and you can grill more meals using propane. Plus, in many places, you can refill 40-gallon propane tanks pretty cheaply versus buying new bags of charcoal.
The price can be a big factor when it comes to durability, whether using a propane or charcoal grill, as the higher-priced models tend to last a bit longer. However, with the proper maintenance and storage, you can make a bargain-brand grill that lasts as long as you're cleaning it regularly and storing it in climate-controlled environments like a shed.
Of course, geography also plays a significant role in regard to the lifespan of a grill. For instance, if you live near the sea with lots of salt water in the air, this will dramatically impact the overall lifespan of your grill.
Using charcoal in a propane grill is really a non-starter in most cases. It's generally not worth the risk to your grill or health. Some grills allow you to use both separately or one at a time, but not both simultaneously.
Most people wish to use both so their food can have that distinctive charcoal flavor while being able to cook food more quickly than with traditional charcoal grills due to propane's higher cooking temps. In this case, the solution may be either a dual grill or one that accommodates a smokebox that allows you to use coals.
But, to be clear, you never want to use coals in propane grills not designed for this purpose. It's better to spend a bit more and do it the safe way rather than learn the hard way.

A friend of mine asked me to take care of her Yorkie for one hour every day of the week, as she started working longer hours and was worried that the dog would feel lonely or need anything while alone in the house. I accepted, and started at the beginning of June.
You have to know that I never had a dog before, and the few times I met dogs was not a great experience. My uncle used to have huge herd dogs at home, and every time we visited I was completely overwhelmed by them! I was a tiny girl and they were for me as big as horses. My family never wanted dogs and I haven't thought about getting one myself, as I am aware that it's a big responsibility, for which I never felt ready. Dog-sitting sounds much more feasible (not my own dog, only few hours per week)… so I accepted the challenge.
I found them fascinating. Karin Actun wrote two unconventional guides on how to establish a good partnership with dogs, focused on observing and developing the inner feeling of respectful leadership, instead of giving exercises or rules and focus on making the dog comply. The second book I read, "Hunde Orientierung geben", moved me really deeply. Karin's words made me realise that I could become a good reference person for the dog by setting boundaries, asking and giving respect, all by clear communication, without using force or fear, or letting the dog be the leader. I never saw the way so clearly. I also realised how hard it is for me to make my own boundaries clear to others – both dogs and people. I actually stopped reading anything else and examined a lot of my past, and found so many matches with the situations explained by Karin.
Then I started taking care of this little dog, and it made for a very interesting set of experiences. It is clear that he is used to lead and to take care of himself, and to ask for what he needs or likes. It will take a while for him to realise that he can delegate a few things to me, and that I'm good at taking care of them. For example when we go out he is on high alert, as any other dog could harm us: when one comes round the corner he makes himself big, growls and barks. I have to show him that I can defend both of us in case of need (for sure from small dogs!), and that he can stay quiet – and it starts working, he is calmer every day 🙂 On many other occasions I can understand what he wants to tell me. It's fascinating to see how he start trusting me and how he is trying his best to understand what I want to communicate. I'm glad I got so much information from these books, and from the videos and explanations on Karin's website, because I can process a lot more information than I would do by simple trial and error. What I see is that there is as little frustration as possible between me and the dog, and I find it incredibly reassuring, and promising, for both.
Stay tuned for more posts about this dog and what I'll observe during our mutual respect building!

No let up in Lahore's crime rate
by Shahab Omer , (Last Updated December 9, 2019)
LAHORE: The Punjab police have failed to control crime in the provincial capital as proven by figures of 2019 in comparison with those of 2018, Pakistan Today learnt reliably on Monday.
A well-placed and credible source in the city police office (CPO) shared with this scribe a list of figures of heinous crimes recorded over the past five years whereas according to the list, murders, kidnapping for ransom, dacoity/robbery with murder, robbery and gang rape cases are almost the same as those in the past year, 2018.
However, the comparative list states, "The registered cases of murder in 2018 were 493 and in 2019 (up to October) the registered cases are 366. Similarly, the cases of kidnapping for ransom in 2018 were 13 and this year these cases have a digit of 12. The cases of robbery with murder in 2018 were 28 however this year these registered cases are only 7. The registered robbery cases in 2018 were 3,704 and in 2019 the registered cases are 3405. The cases of gang rape in 2018 were 13 and this year there are 8".
The source also revealed that the CPO is currently preparing a list of the total figures of heinous crimes in the city, "We have only the record of figures till Oct 2019. Despite the transfer postings and reshuffling of police officers from one city to other cities, the police department has failed to control the crime rate in Lahore. Incidents of thefts, land grabbing, car snatching, gambling are increasing in the areas day by day and police are playing the role of silent spectators."
While speaking to Pakistan Today, Additional Inspector General (Operations) Inam Ghani said, "The Punjab police is working on re-registering policy of cases. The department has given the instructions to all police officers in Punjab to register all the cases. The PM portal, CM Portal, IGP complaint portal are also working on it".
"Previously the people have to go to the courts for the registration of their cases but for the last four months we have improved the things and all the people are facilitating in the police stations. This could be the main reason for the steep figures. We are also working very hard to facilitate the public and surely these figures will come down very soon," he concluded.

Sewershed Surveillance Project Shows Increases Levels of SARS-CoV-2 in Albany
https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/f7f5492486114da6b5d6fdc07f81aacf
The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services Sewershed Surveillance Project has shown a significant increase or elevation in genetic material associated with COVID-19 in Albany.
Correlations show the significant increase in viral load followed 4 to 6 days later with an increase of at least 25 percent in positive human cases in a majority of instances.
The December 5th reading at the Albany collection center is at 280,000, which is down from late November, but is significantly higher than the 32,000 reading at the first of November. The highest reading at the Albany location was in late November 2020 when reading hit 759,000.
Areas around the state were the Sewershed Surveillance Project shows increases include Chillicothe, Liberty, St. Joseph and several areas in the southern part of the state.
The Sewershed Surveillance Project tracks viral genetic material in wastewater to show the emergence of viruses in communities.


Accurate, robust, inexpensive gaze tracking in the car can help keep a driver safe by facilitating the more effective study of how to improve (i) vehicle interfaces and (ii) the design of future advanced driver assistance systems. In this study, the authors estimate head pose and eye pose from monocular video using methods developed extensively in prior work and ask two new interesting questions. First, how much better can they classify driver gaze using head and eye pose versus just using head pose? Second, are there individual-specific gaze strategies that strongly correlate with how much gaze classification improves with the addition of eye pose information? The authors answer these questions by evaluating data drawn from an on-road study of 40 drivers. The main insight of the study is conveyed through the analogy of an owl' and lizard' which describes the degree to which the eyes and the head move when shifting gaze. When the head moves a lot (owl'), not much classification improvement is attained by estimating eye pose on top of head pose. On the other hand, when the head stays still and only the eyes move (lizard'), classification accuracy increases significantly from adding in eye pose. The authors characterise how that accuracy varies between people, gaze strategies, and gaze regions.

Q: Session Variable in ASP.NET returns previous value in ModalBox? I have a question regarding passing Session Variables to a text-box in an Update Panel (which is displayed in a Modal PopUp).
This is the code I have so far:
ASPX CODE:
        <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Link">
            <ItemTemplate>
                <asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" Text="Link" runat="server" OnClick="LinkButton1_Click"  />
            </ItemTemplate>
        </asp:TemplateField>
    </Columns>
</asp:gridview>

<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server" OnLoad="panel_Load">
    <ContentTemplate>
        <asp:Button ID="OKButton" runat="server" Text="Close" />
        <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>
    </ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>

<asp:ModalPopupExtender ID="mpe" runat="server" TargetControlID="ClientButton" PopupControlID="UpdatePanel1" OkControlID="OKButton">
</asp:ModalPopupExtender>

<asp:Button ID="ClientButton" runat="server" Text="Launch Modal Popup (Client)" style="display:none;" />

CODE BEHIND (C#):
protected void LinkButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    GridViewRow clickedRow = ((LinkButton)sender).NamingContainer as GridViewRow;
    Label lbl_nme = (Label)clickedRow.FindControl("lbl_name");
    String string_nme = lbl_nme.Text.ToString();
    Session["Name"] = string_nme;
    mpe.Show();
}

protected void panel_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Label1.Text = (string)(Session["Name"]);
}

So basically I have a GridView with name, address etc… When the user clicks on a link in a row, then the value for the name field of that row is saved as a session variable. Then a Modal PopUp is displayed. The Modal PopUp should then show the Name which was saved as a Session variable.
The code sort of works. What I'm experiencing is that when I click a row, the Label1.Text in the Modal PopUp is empty. So if I close the PopUp then click another link in another row, the PopUp then displays the Name of the row that was clicked previously.
In other words.. If row 1 has Name "Kevin" and row 2 has Name "Nathaniel", and I click a link to open the Modal PopUp of row 1, I would expect the PopUp to display "Kevin". But it doesn't. The first time I click a link after rebuilding the application, nothing is displayed. But say I click row 2 after clicking row1, then the Modal PopUp displays the value of the row I clicked before, i.e. "Kevin" when I expect it to be "Nathaniel".
I hope I didn't confuse anyone. I'm a newbie and I'm just getting into this stuff, so I'd appreciate it if someone could help me out, preferably with examples of code etc.
Thank you. Much appreciated.

A: The "Load" event (panel_Load) occurs before the "Click" event (LinkButton1_Click) so it only sees the previous value.
The quick fix is to set the label in the "Click" event as well. Unless ViewState is enabled for the label (ick!) the label may have to be [re]set in the "Load" as well, depending upon when/how updates occur.
See ASP.NET Page Life Cycle Overview and  ASP.NET Application and Page Life Cycle: Page Events.
Happy coding.

How Florida Lawmakers Voted on Electoral College Count
By Steve Litz	• Published January 7, 2021 • Updated on January 7, 2021 at 9:23 pm
Several federal lawmakers from South Florida are on record having serious doubts about the outcome of the Electoral College results.
Early Thursday morning, during a joint session of Congress, lawmakers finished counting the Electoral College votes.
Florida Sen. Rick Scott voted in favor of the decertification of those results. Miami-area Congressmen Mario Diaz-Balart and Carlos Gimenez joined the Senator in voting for decertification.
All things politics in South Florida and throughout the Sunshine State
Florida Jan 9
Florida Democrats Elect Ex-Miami Mayor Diaz as State Leader
Capitol Riot Jan 9
South Florida Republicans Quiet on Removing Trump After Capitol Mob
Gimenez, just elected to the House of Representatives, released a written statement explaining how he believes certain states violated the U.S. Constitution.
"This election has highlighted the need for many states across the country to undergo important electoral reforms to ensure elections at all levels are fair, secure, transparent and efficient," the statement read.
Diaz-Balart complained that several states changed election laws in the run-up to last month's election.
Sen. Marco Rubio broke with his fellow Republicans and voted against the decertification of the votes.
"I think it is a terrible idea at this moment," Rubio said during the early morning debate on the House floor. "Just hours ago a young lady died in this capital. That means somebody somewhere in this country got a phone call that their daughter was dead."
Miami Democratic strategist Freddy Balsera said Republicans are only doing harm when going down the path of decertifying results of the electoral college.
"I think most Republicans that were thinking about playing this game, continuing this game that Trump has been promoting, saw yesterday that this is a very dangerous game because their lives were at risk yesterday," he said.

Doyle appointed Aer Lingus chief executive as Kavanagh steps down
International Airlines Group has announced that Aer Lingus chief executive, Stephen Kavanagh, will step down on January 1st, but will remain on the airline's board as a non-executive director.
He will be succeeded as chief executive and executive director by Sean Doyle who is currently British Airways director of network, fleet and alliances.
Willie Walsh, IAG chief executive and Aer Lingus chairman, said: "Stephen has been an exceptional chief executive and has transformed and modernised Aer Lingus.
"After a 30-year career, he has decided to step down.
"We wish him all the very best for the future and heartfelt thanks for all his outstanding achievements.
"We're delighted that Stephen will remain on Aer Lingus' board and provide advice and guidance to the airline."
Aer Lingus is the national airline of Ireland, founded in 1936.
It operates 65 aircraft on over 100 routes, flying 17 direct routes from North America to Ireland and onwards to destinations in the UK and Europe.
Kavanagh said: "After a 30-year career in Aer Lingus with the last four years as chief executive, I've taken the decision to step down to pursue other interests.
"By any objective measure Aer Lingus has been successful in recent years and continues to have significant opportunity to build upon the strong fundamentals of our value model.
"I'd like to thank all those who have provided support and guidance during my time in Aer Lingus.
"I look forward to working with Sean as he transitions into his new role and wish him and all my colleagues continued success."
Sean Doyle, originally from Cork, will take up his new role in January.
He joined British Airways in 2003 and has undertaken financial, strategy, commercial and alliance roles for British Airways culminating in his appointment to the airline's executive management committee in 2016.
Walsh added. "Sean has successfully held a variety of roles within British Airways, acquiring significant expertise and experience, which makes him ideally suited to lead Aer Lingus.
"I am pleased that Aer Lingus chief operating officer, Mike Rutter, has extended his contract and will work with Sean to ensure that the airline continues to deliver its strong performance."
The airline carries more than 12 million guests per annum.

Lady Gaga's dominance of Twitter continued this week when she increased her followers by 10 per cent in record time to just over 11 million.
Canadian teen singer Justin Bieber is only the second Twitter user to hit 10 million users, a milestone he reached on May 28.
Meanwhile, the same AllTwitter.com writer posted an interesting article on June 14 that called out a number of celebrities for not following anyone on Twitter despite enjoying the benefits of having millions of followers. These include: Eminem, Kanye West, Stephen Colbert, Rev Run and the Dalai Lama.
Celebrities called out for only following one other account include Jim Carrey and Conan O'Brien. Twitter's top user – Lady Gaga – follows more than 200,000 other accounts.
KurtHugoSchneider – youtube.com/kurthugoschneider (1 million subscribers): Kurt is a music producer who makes videos with his friends, including the amazing Sam Tsui whose cover of Lady Gaga's Born This Way and an incredible mash-up of Love the Way You Lie, Dynamite and Teenage Dream have close to 25 million views between them.
Thecomputernerd01 – youtube.com/thecomputernerd01 (710,000 subscribers): Josh is another one of those goofy (but very friendly and likeable) teens who just started making videos in their bedrooms – only to find that there was a market for their antics. Josh and his buddies make fun little comedy and music videos about various things going on in their lives. Josh's videos are pretty family-friendly, so not a lot of worries about your kids learning too many bad habits when they watch.
FluffeeTalks – youtube.com/fluffeetalks (566,000 subscribers): This Canadian vlogger from Brampton, Ont., is definitely not family-friendly. Lots of profanity and adult themes, but his sarcasm is quite entertaining if that's your bag. He usually takes a news story and then does a funny rant about it, starting with his tagline, "Hey, what's up?" Again, definitely not exactly family-friendly, but still hilarious!
According to an AllFacebook.com article by Brian Ward posted June 20, religious Facebook pages are flexing their muscles on Facebook for engaging with their followers. In fact, it seems that even Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber can't compete with Jesus and the Bible.
According to the article, Facebook top engaging pages are: 1) Jesus Daily (5,948,071 followers and 1,645,286 interactions); 2) The Bible (7,609,076 followers and 1,071,096 interactions); 3) Justin Bieber (29,756,538 followers and 933,719 interactions); 4) Mario Teguh (an Indonesian motivational speaker) (4,221,188 followers and 838,761 interactions) and 5) Lady Gaga (38,213,784 followers and 739,791 interactions).
It's interesting to see the difference in Lady Gaga's and Justin Bieber's fans. While Gaga eclipses Bieber's numbers on Facebook by nearly nine million followers, his fans are clearly more engaged. What is more important? Sheer numbers or the level of engagement? Both are important, but engagement is the lifeblood of social media, so Bieber has to be given kudos for that despite the fact that he trails in Facebook followers.
Film critic Roger Ebert is in a heap of trouble after a tweet that offended many. Earlier this week, Jackass star Ryan Dunn was killed along with two others in a fiery car crash in Pennsylvania. Ebert – who has had part of his jaw removed due to cancer – tweeted that "Friends don't let jackasses drink and drive," in response to reports that Dunn may have been drinking before the accident.
Celebrity gossip blogger Perez Hilton also chimed in, chastising Ebert for the insensitive reaction to Dunn's death.
Ebert, who has benefited greatly from widespread compassion and good wishes in regard to his battle with cancer, was unmoved and refused to apologize. Regardless of the alleged circumstances behind Dunn's death (autopsy results are pending), I think Ebert could have opted to hold off judgment at a horribly sad time for Dunn's family and friends. What good did it do?
Subsequently, even Facebook got into the swing of things and inexplicably removed Ebert's page, causing Ebert to complain on Twitter. Facebook eventually announced that the page was removed in error. My guess is that Jackass fans sabotaged Ebert's page by revenge-clicking en masse on "Report Page," resulting in Facebook automatically putting the page on hold for review. Goes to show that freedom of speech comes with freedom of reaction, too!

Cristiano Ronaldo on the start, who to replace him?
Discover the players who could replace Cristiano Ronaldo in Real Madrid, in case of departure of the latter.
It's the bomb of the week. According to Marca, Cristiano Ronaldo would have decided to leave Real Madrid following the accusations of tax evasion of which he is the target. Currently with its selection to prepare the Confederations Cup which begins this Saturday, CR7 would have given its partners its desire to start: "I leave Real Madrid, it is decided" would have assured them according to the Spanish sports daily. More than a rumor, this news has put the world of football on the foot of war. Starting with the PSG and Manchester United who see their hope to recruit the reborn cricket. And Real Madrid is not left over, with a nice list of players able to replace the man with four gold balloons. Also read: The most insane gains realized during the Mercato.
Already on the merengue tablets, Kylian Mbappé wins points thanks to the possible departure of Cristiano Ronaldo. The French international that has exploded this season is very pleased with Zidane and Florentino Pérez, who, according to as, would be willing to drop 135 million to recruit him.
The other French on the list is also one of the most promising players in the same way as Mbappé. This is because the recruitment of the former Rennais would cost much less than that of its compatriot.
We're allowed to dream, right? Thanks to the sale of Cristiano which could bring back 200 million to Real, the club of Florentino Pérez could go back to the hunt at Neymar. The Brazilian never showed a huge attachment to Barca. Better, he could even be tempted by a Madrid adventure in order to win the Golden Ball, a title that seems inaccessible as long as he stays in the shadow of Messi.
Observed by the Casa Blanca for quite some time already, the jewels of Juventus of Turin seems tossed between its current club, Real Madrid, and FC Barcelona. By recruiting him this summer, Real would hit a big blow on the market, in addition to swinging an uppercut to the Catalan rival.
One of the most regular players of the moment is an old goal of Real Madrid, but more in the optics of replacing a Benzema than a Ronaldo. Polish and Portuguese have a rather distant style, and it is hard to see how Robert, as fast as he is, could provide CR7.
Same problem as for Lewandowski. The Gabonese striker does not have the same role as CR7, nor the same qualities to occupy his position. But hey, with the money harvested for the sale of Cristiano, Real could well afford at least two top players, one to replace CR7 and a number 9. But we are not there yet.

Ати́лио Анче́та (; 19 июля 1948, Флорида) — уругвайский футболист, выступавший на позиции защитника.

Биография
Атилио Анчета начинал играть в футбол в родной Флориде, в команде «Сан-Лоренсо». В 1966 году он стал игроком «Насьоналя» и вскоре дебютировал в основном составе «трёхцветных». В 1960-е годы «Насьональ» не мог выиграть Кубок Либертадорес, в отличие от своих злейших конкурентов, «Пеньяроля», который стал лучшим клубом Южной Америки десятилетия, завоевав за этот период 3 главных континентальных трофея и 2 Межконтинентальных кубка. Но в 1971 году «Насьоналю», наконец, покорилась главная континентальная вершина. Сразу после победы Анчета, бывший одним из ключевых игроков обороны в своей команде, перешёл в бразильский «Гремио» и по этой причине не стал обладателем Межконтинентального кубка.

В «Гремио» Анчета выиграл значительно меньше трофеев, а именно два чемпионата штата Риу-Гранди-ду-Сул в 1977 и 1979 годах. В 1973 году уругваец был признан лучшим футболистом чемпионата Бразилии. «Золотой мяч» он разделил с другим легионером — аргентинцем Агустином Сехасом, защищавшим ворота «Сантоса». Всего за «Гремио» Анчета провёл 427 матчей, в которых забил 29 голов.

После двух лет, проведённых в начале 1980-х годов в стане колумбийского «Атлетико Насьоналя», Анчета вернулся в родной «Насьональ», где и завершил карьеру футболиста в 1983 году.

Атилио Анчета выступал за сборную Уругвая на рубеже 1960-х и 1970-х годов. Он провёл лишь 20 матчей за Селесте и принял участие в одном крупном турнире. Однако он был признан одним из лучших защитников чемпионата мира 1970 года, попав в символическую сборную. Анчета составил оборонительную линию данной символической сборной вместе с Карлосом Алберто Торресом, Францем Беккенбауэром и Джачинто Факкетти. От Уругвая в неё также попал вратарь Ладислао Мазуркевич.

По завершении карьеры футболиста, Атилио Анчета открыл свою футбольную школу. Также он сочиняет музыку и выступает в качестве певца. Проживает в Бразилии, в штате Риу-Гранди-ду-Сул, неподалёку от Порту-Алегри.

Sheena Kalso and her team Invisible Hostess put on a showstopping reception at Willows Lodge for this years' Wedding In Woodinville. The theme was "More is More" and it certainly was! Here is a little about what inspired this concept.
"More is More as we presented maximalism with a millenial twist to Willows Lodge this year. Bucking against the minimalist trend, we are bringing a fresh take to an aesthetic associated with opulence, but with a modern interpretation that speaks to a new generation. Layering patterns with a bold palette of Millenial pink, mustard, and shades of teal, we juxtaposed the modern with the familiar; hearkening to the creature comforts of a home fit for the contemporary couple. The maximalism didn't stop there, as we showcased inventive guest experiences that push the boundary of the senses and bring the fun to any event."

Wendy Wojcik from Weddings With Wendy planned a gorgeous blush pink inspired wedding design at DeLille Cellars for this year's Weddings In Woodinville. Here is a little more about what inspired this concept!
"Blushing Bride, get inspired by one of the most romantic and sweet colors – blush pink! This tender color makes everything look beautiful, harmonious and so lovely!
Blush wedding dresses are so popular today that they've almost become a trend – many designers create beautiful gowns with lots of feminine details to make the bride look like a princess. Even if you don't want to incorporate so much blush into your look, there's a way to do that with accessories – a purse, shoes, a sash, a tie and boutonniere for the groom. Dress your bridesmaids and the flower girls in blush pink! They'll look like angels!
To speak about decor – blush pink is ideal and combines well with many other colors. A blush pink background or an arch with blush flowers would be like heaven! Combining with, gold or black, blush is cool for a tablescape or a centerpiece. Ring pillow, card holders, chair and floor decor – all these things in blush will give a feeling of a fairy-tale wedding day.
And don't forget fantastic blush food – cakes, cupcakes, candies and cookies! They will comprise a wonderful dessert bar at your wedding!"

"Minimal, yet Dramatic"... Wait, but how do those go together? Alex Chalk of Taylor'd Events Group showed just how at the Historic Hollywood Schoolhouse where guests saw how setting a strong base of minimalist elements - white cottons, silks, ceramics, woods, stone and top with dramatic elements can create a truly memorable experience. With a base pallete of whites, creams and greens they were able to pull from the gorgeous brick interior and topped their design with plum and dusty blush. By layering all these different elements on top of one another, it was easy to walk away with some subtle ideas of how to elevate your wedding day vision.

The skincare essentials with top-shelf permanency.
Just like fashion's influx of new-season trends, beauty continually receives a fresh wave of skincare products and treatments with must-have appeal. Promising to surpass previous offerings and solve all skin woes, our skincare influences come often and en masse; referred to by beauty insiders and Kardashian sisters alike.
Despite the flow of skincare dos and don'ts few trends have managed to find permanency within our skincare regimen. Here, five products that have.
Blame it on skincare's obsession with all things K-beauty, but our penchant for masking is only intensifying. The Eastern-born concept has been ingrained into our weekly routines, mask-face Instagram stories now an inescapable viewing come a Sunday night. While gel and sheet masks made momentary beauty buzz, clay masks are proving themselves a skincare treatment with longevity. Keeping shine at bay, clay masks diminish pores and dig deep to unclog toxins, dirt and debris, restoring skin's natural radiance with at-home convenience.
Formulated by leading skincare alchemist, Cheryl Ross, Australian brand MINENSSEY have developed a collection of luxe clay masks—Hydrating, Rejuvenating, Deep Cleansing and Brightening—that harness only raw elements and native botanicals from the Australian wilderness. Since its launch in 2017, Minenssey's four mask offerings have cultivated the brand a cult following. The masks are fuelled with skin-brightening ingredients that soothe as well as detox, such as pink clay, moonstone and snow-flower. Each targeting a different skin type, the masks are serum based leaving skin glowing and feeling supple, unlike many traditional clay masks which run the risk of drying skin out.
Taking your skin's hydration to the next level, hyaluronic acid and its plumping properties have been dubbed the ultimate skincare essential. Restoring youthful dewiness to tired and dull complexions, the super-strength and dermatologist-approved ingredient can hold 1,000 times its weight in water. With differing viscosities, hyaluronic acid nixes crepey skin tone, smoothing lines and adding volume to flat skin. Boosting collagen production, its varied molecular weights allow it to penetrate the skin's deeper layers.
Now, straight-talking, no-nonsense products seem to be the antidote. Hyaluronic acid is out of hiding with brands opting for simplified, streamlined formulations. Ditch your hyaluronic acid-spiked moisturiser and go straight to the source.
Exfoliating plays a crucial role in creating even skin texture, brightening the complexion and sloughing away dead skin cells. Thanks to the release of newer formulas, powdered facial exfoliants are once again a kit hit, their finely-milled powders offering a gentler take on deep-pore cleansing.
Facial exfoliating powders are ideal for summer months when skin is lathered in layers of sunscreen, sweat and excess oil, and calls for daily exfoliation. Simply needing to be mixed with a few drops of water or serum, the powders are practical—they travel with ease in both your carry-on and gym bag—and cater to sensitive skin types. Loaded with mainstay appeal, the real magic of the exfoliating powder lays in its customisable make up: The strength of your cleanse is determined by your powder-to-water ratio.
With a skincare track-record that dates back to seventh century China, jade rollers have truly earned their position in the bathroom cabinet. Using gentle pressure, the age-old tool balances excess fluid in tissues by sweeping away toxins. A long-kept complexion-enhancing secret of top facialists such as New York-based Ling Chan, it wasn't until 2016 that the jade roller became industry knowledge.
Now, crystal face rollers are a skincare standard, helping to calm swelling and irritation while helping to massage products into the skin. Stimulating circulation, improving elasticity and strengthening the face muscles for a more lifted, sculpted appearance, it's a must-stock beauty tool for daily rejuvenation.
While the tried-and-true benefits of retinol have long-secured its status as a skincare mainstay, beauty's renewed focus on natural ingredients has resulted in the need of a more organic alternative. Enter Bakuchiol: A plant extract offering the same line-ironing benefits of retinol, it's used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat skin conditions. For a long time, retinol has been the hero addition in age-rewinding eye creams, moisturisers and toners; the Vitamin A derivative one of the best-studied skin-restoring ingredients on the market. However, Bakuchiol promises the same skin-stimulating benefits, with added antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Bakuchiol products began to hit the beauty zeitgeist during the '70s, but it wasn't until the publication of recent studies highlighting its anti-ageing effectiveness that the vegan alternative found industry popularity. With 2018 seeing a breakout of Bakuchiol-based product launches, Bakuchiol is proving itself a worthwhile investment.

Brettenia History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Brettenia is a name that first reached England following the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Brettenia family lived in the town and parish of Bradney in county Somerset. The name was originally derived from the Old English word "bradeney," which means "the dweller at the broad island."
Early Origins of the Brettenia family
The surname Brettenia was first found in Somerset where the family claim descent from Sir Simon de Bredenie in 1346. [1] This is probably the same gentleman who was listed as Simon de Bradneghe in the Subsidy Rolls of Sussex in 1327. William de Bradney was listed in the Subsidy Rolls of Sussex in 1296. [2] Another source notes that Simon de Bardeneye was Mayor of Bristol in 1276 and Abbas de Bardeneye was listed in Lincolnshire in the Hundredorum Rolls of 1273. [3]
Early History of the Brettenia family
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Brettenia research. Another 107 words (8 lines of text) covering the years 134 and 1346 are included under the topic Early Brettenia History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Brettenia Spelling Variations
It is only in the last few hundred years that the English language has been standardized. For that reason, Anglo-Norman surnames like Brettenia are characterized by many spelling variations. Scribes and monks in the Middle Ages spelled names they sounded, so it is common to find several variations that refer to a single person. As the English language changed and incorporated elements of other European languages such as Norman French and Latin, even literate people regularly changed the spelling of their names. The variations of the name Brettenia include Bradney, Bradnie, Bredenie and others.
Early Notables of the Brettenia family (pre 1700)
More information is included under the topic Early Brettenia Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Migration of the Brettenia family
Faced with the chaos present in England at that time, many English families looked towards the open frontiers of the New World with its opportunities to escape oppression and starvation. People migrated to North America, as well as Australia and Ireland in droves, paying exorbitant rates for passages in cramped, unsafe ships. Many of the settlers did not make the long passage alive, but those who did see the shores of North America were welcomed with great opportunity. Many of the families that came from England went on to make essential contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. Some of the first immigrants to cross the Atlantic and come to North America carried the name Brettenia, or a variant listed above: Thomas Bradney who settled in Virginia in 1653; Geoffrey Bredenie who landed in America in 1799.

RELEASE ORDER OF MICHAEL COHEN
A federal judge has issued released order of Michael Cohen
A federal judge has issued released order of Michael Cohen;
Because the court discovered that. The government had sent him back to prison in vengeance for a whistleblower he was writing about President Donald Trump.
Judge Alvin Hellerstein rejected the prosecutor's argument
At a telephone hearing on Thursday, Judge Alvin Hellerstein rejected the prosecutor's argument that. The prosecutor did not develop a release form prohibiting Cohen from contacting the media. Hellerstein said there was no "inference", it is nothing but sounds like the revenge. Therefore, why should Cohen take back to federal custody?
What is the purpose of transferring Mr. Cohen from furlough to prison? It completely sounds retaliatory. If it is, sound retaliatory because he wanted to exercise his First Amendment rights to publish a book. And discuss issues about this book. Any content or any other content he wishes to discuss on social media.
Hellerstein said;
"In the 21 years of serving as a judge and sentence giver and studying the terms and conditions of supervision and release, I have never seen such a clause."
Cohen sued the Justice Department on Monday, alleging that he was re-detained on July 9. Also, it was just to stop the publication of his book. The book is scheduled to be released in September, two months before the presidential election.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) stated. That it has been noticed in the Trump administration has a history of attempts to block the books of critics. It has already happened like former national security adviser John Bolton.
Cohen should release at 2 pm
The judge ordered Cohen should release at 2 pm. Friday will serve three years in home imprisonment. Cohen will also be tested for coronavirus before leaving prison.
As part of the transaction, Cohen agreed to several other release conditions that he initially refused.including his seeking approval to engage in any possible work, electronic surveillance, and a requirement that his family must-do chores for him and go shopping in the grocery store.
However, while expressing his approval for Cohen, the judge also stated that he will need some conditions because it relates to Cohen's dealings with the media.
"Just like there is no press conference from a prison cell, you shouldn't hold a press conference at home. You can communicate, you can discuss, and you can post on social media."
He added; "You cannot turn a person imprisoned in a prison or at home into a completely free person. There must be a restriction."
The judge gave the time to Cohen's lawyers and prosecutors. Therefore, they can negotiate terms of contact with the media and one week is enough for this.
Cohen's lawyer Danya Perry
Cohen's lawyer Danya Perry called the decision "victory of the First Amendment." She added; "This principle goes beyond politics and we are happy that the rule of law prevails."
There is another latest turning point in Cohen's legal drama. He implored guilty to tax fraud, lying to Congress, and violating campaign finance charges in 2018. Because they facilitated quiet payments to two women accused of past events with the president. Trump denies having happened to these women.

As part of the release plan adopted by the Bureau of Prisons in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Cohen was released to furlough in late May.
A photographer for the New York Post captured the experience of Cohen dining with his wife and another couple at a restaurant. Cohen said this did not violate his release clause.
In the second week, Cohen reported to the court, transferred him to a home confinement room, and installed an electronic monitoring device. Cohen opposed many conditions and then detained them.
The prosecutor said that Cohen resigned because he became aggressive and unwilling to agree to these terms. They told the judge that the probation officer of the authorization form and prison bureau officials did not know that Cohen was writing the book.

The judge rejected their argument, saying that Cohen had been released unconditionally during his leave, but the situation changed after he returned to the press.
The judge said: "Suddenly when the article in the New York Post was published, the BOP knew that Cohen was writing the book and it was likely to be completed before the election. This is conditional."

Meet our Humpback Whales
Family Fun Guided Tours Natural Attractions
Did you know, whales only follow one migration path their entire lives! That means, each year we get to say "G'day" to some old friends, easily identified by their unique markings and colour.
Like the bottom of a much loved swag man's cooking pot, "Billy" is unique from other humpback whales that migrate along the Australian Eastern coast, sporting a black underbelly rather than white.
No one seems to know why Billy has such unusual colouring; it's a bit of a mystery! But this doesn't seem to stop Billy from having a great time out in the water. He's very acrobatic, loves breaching, tail slapping and generally likes putting on a show for anyone on a whale watching tour.
Billy was named by our very own Captain Kerry and, as yet, there are no reports of offspring.
As the name suggests, Stitches has markings all the way up the middle of his fluke that looks like he has been stitched up. But, guess what? They are natural markings!
Scientists are still trying to figure out so many things about humpback whales, like 'why do whales breach?', that we are a long way off understanding how they come to have unique natural markings. So, whilst there are whales that can be identified due to scares from marine accidents, there are a handful out there that are just naturally unique.
Stitches was named by the Captain Kerry's Crew on Eye Spy.
Migaloo & MJ
Migaloo and son MJ, or Migaloo Junior, are the only documented albino humpback whales in the world.
Migaloo, meaning 'white fella', was first sighted back in June 1991 and was believed to be 3 to 5 years old at the time. In October 2004, researchers from the Southern Cross University Whale Research Centre collected skin samples from the water after he had breached and were able to have theses analysed for DNA. This analysis was able to confirm that Migaloo is in fact a male.
In 2006, a white calf was also spotted with a normal humpback mother, sparking excitement that it was one of Migaloo's offspring, known as "MJ" or Migaloo Junior.

HÀ NỘI — Lý Hoàng Nam won an historic tennis gold medal for Việt Nam at the SEA Games on Friday morning in the Philippines.
No 3 seed Nam beat No 1 Daniel Cao Nguyễn 6-2, 6-4 in the all-Vietnamese men's singles final.
It was the third time the two players have met, but the first time Nam has won.
In the first two games Nam suffered quick losses to a rival who had highest world ranking in Southeast Asia.
Nam became the first Vietnamese to take a SEA Games tennis gold, ending the nation's long-time title drought.
Earlier, Savanna Lý Nguyễn pocketed a silver for Việt Nam in the women's singles category.
She was defeated 6-0, 7-5 by No 2 seed Aldila Sutjiadi of Indonesia.
In the afternoon, Nam and his partner Lê Quốc Khánh and Daniel Cao Nguyễn/Nguyễn Văn Phương will compete in their men's doubles semi-final matches.
Early in the morning, Phạm Thị Hồng Lệ brought the first medal for Việt Nam's athletics in the women's marathon event.

Hồng finished third with a time of 3hr 02.52min.
She was behind two athletes of the host nation.
"I just knew about the track half a day before the competition and I had no time to take a try," said Lệ.
"The difficult sloped terrain and hot weather prevented me from running faster, leading to unexpected result," she said.
Lệ triumphed in the national championship with a time of 2:48.21.
In swimming, Nguyễn Thị Ánh Viên finished first in the qualification of the women's 200m backstroke and 200m freestyle.
She is defending champion of both events.
Other swimmers to compete for golds are Hoàng Quý Phước and Lê Nguyễn Paul in the men's 100m butterfly and Vũ Thị Phương Anh and Phùng Ngọc Mỹ in the women's 50m breaststroke
Finals will be held this evening.
Canoeing and fencing teams also compete today and are expected to win medals. — VNS
