Israel's
Netanyahu rushed to hospital, his office says he felt dizzy and was
likely dehydrated-The Associated Press-Updated July 15, 2023 12:20 p.m.
EDT
Jerusalem -Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was rushed on
Saturday to a hospital after feeling dizzy, his office said, adding that
it appeared the veteran Israeli leader was suffering from
dehydration.Netanyahu, 73, remained at Israel's Sheba Hospital, where he
continued to undergo medical tests, his office said.In a joint
statement with the hospital, his office said Netanyahu had visited the
Sea of Galilee, a popular vacation spot in northern Israel, on Friday.
The country is in the midst of a summer heat wave, with temperatures in
the mid-30s Celsius.According to the statement, Netanyahu began to feel
"mild dizziness" on Saturday and his doctor instructed him to go to
Sheba Hospital, near the city of Tel Aviv. The hospital is well over
half an hour away from Netanyahu's seaside residence in the coastal town
of Caesaria."Preliminary tests came out normal and nothing abnormal was
found," the statement said. "The initial assessment is dehydration."It
said that doctors had recommended he remain in the hospital for further
testing.Netanyahu is Israel's longest serving leader. He has served
multiple terms stretching over 15 years in office. His current far-right
government, a collection of religious and ultranationalist parties,
took office last December.Netanyahu is said to be in generally good
health, though he was briefly hospitalized last October after feeling
unwell during prayers on Yom Kippur, a day when observant Jews fast.Tens
of thousands of Israelis have held weekly demonstrations against
Netanyahu's government to protest his plan to overhaul the country's
judiciary.Netanyahu's allies say the plan is needed to rein in the power
of unelected judges. But his opponents say the plan will destroy the
country's fragile system of checks and balances and concentrate power in
the hands of Netanyahu and his allies.Israeli opposition leader Yair
Lapid issued a statement wishing Netanyahu a "full recovery and good
health."
Marine excavations offer glimpse into ancient history
preserved under the sea-While much of Israel’s land has already been dug
up and explored, archaeological discoveries underwater are just
beginning to surface-By Melanie Lidman-JUL 15,23-Today, 9:00 am
The
drone of a massive underwater vacuum cleaner pierces the silence at one
of Israel’s most picturesque locations, a calm lagoon at Dor Beach
where small, sandy islands poke out of clear Mediterranean waters.Just
two meters below the surface, a dozen archaeologists, students, and
volunteers in full scuba gear are crawling around the sea bottom like
ants, meticulously combing through sand using an underwater dredger.
With their giant vacuum, they carefully uncover pieces of pottery and
wood from a ship that sank here more than 3,000 years ago.“After 120
years of scientific archaeology on land, maybe 130 years, we’re in a
situation where we know a lot about what happened on land, but we know
very little about what’s under the sea,” said Prof. Assaf Yasur-Landau,
the director of the University of Haifa’s Leon Recanati Institute for
Maritime Studies.The University of Haifa’s School of Archaeology and
Maritime Cultures is Israel’s only underwater archaeology certification
program. Since 2012, it’s been offered in English to international
students, and around 20 students are graduating this summer.“Every
single thing that we excavate provides so much new information,”
Yasur-Landau enthused. “Every ship is a time capsule. It’s a capsule of
our material culture, what was traded and the different commercial
connections, and also what the environment was like back then.”In May,
Yasur-Landau oversaw the first excavations of two shipwrecks in the Dor
Beach lagoon, one from the Persian period, from around 550 BCE, and one
from the Iron Age, around 1000 BCE. During the three-week dive season,
they uncovered pieces of pottery from 3,000 years ago and are trying to
determine if they’ve discovered the infrastructure for an early port or
just the detritus of old shipwrecks, Yasur-Landau said. In the fall,
they will dive again for another three-week season to try to explore the
ruins further.Israel has always been a hub for marine activity, from
the first Mediterranean fishing villages dating from around 10,000 BCE
to ancient Roman ports like Caesarea to the ships filled with Jewish
refugees trying to evade the British blockade after WWII.But excavating
items and ships that sank to the sea floor thousands of years ago is a
much more complicated process than excavating an archaeological site on
land. It’s also far more expensive, requiring boats, sand dredgers,
scuba equipment, and a highly trained team with a very specific skill
set.Researchers still must carry out the same archaeological practices
of meticulous documentation and excavation, layer by layer, but all
while underwater, wearing bulky scuba gear, and fighting currents,
waves, and tides — and the occasional curious fish and small jellyfish.
Recent technological improvements, including underwater photography that
can create 3D modeling and provide a record to study on dry land, have
made underwater excavations slightly more accessible.Under the sea, your
straw mat will live forever“Our main goal is trying to understand the
lives of people throughout history, and the different types of
adaptations, the economic, the social, the cultural ways they adapted to
different environmental conditions,” said Yasur-Landau. “Why is this
relevant? Because we see processes that start in ancient times and
continue to today.”Manmade stress to coastal ecosystems, a rising sea
level, population crowding, political problems that lead to economic
issues – these are all matters that residents of Israel’s coast have
been dealing with for thousands of years, and continue to be
exceptionally relevant today, Yasur-Landau noted. Maritime trade still
accounts for more than 90 percent of Israel’s imports.“Here we have an
archaeological record under the water of the 11,000 years from the time
people started to live in villages and in permanent settlements until
yesterday,” he added. “So we can create a very long narrative of 11,000
years of how people are living along the sea and how cultures are
interacting with the sea.”The University of Haifa program combines
maritime and coastal excavation, since coastal villages and ports are so
closely intertwined with the sea. Additionally, changing sea levels
over time means some areas now submerged in water were once dry land and
have remains of coastal villages.But while underwater conditions are
challenging, they’re also exceptionally good at preserving things that
are nearly impossible to find on land, including organic materials such
as wood, ropes, and straw mats.Sand creates an anaerobic environment,
which means that something covered in sand has little to no oxygen.
Because exposure to oxygen causes organic materials to decompose, when
items are in an anaerobic environment, they stay intact for much
longer.Yasur-Landau has found pieces of Byzantine-era straw mats,
basketry, and twined ropes from around 300-600 CE. These types of items
are rarely found on land and provide an important window into the daily
lives of people from the past.Another benefit of underwater
archaeological sites — which are usually under a meter or more of sand —
is that they are rarely disturbed by human intervention, unlike
Israel’s thousands of archaeological sites on land, where looting is a
serious issue.Praying to Poseidon-Students interested in studying marine
archaeology should have basic scuba qualifications, but Yasur-Landau
said they’re not looking for highly trained frogmen. Many of the dive
sites are fairly shallow, such as the excavation at Dor Beach, which is
only 2 to 4 meters deep. It’s more important to have the ability to work
carefully and patiently amid the challenging underwater conditions, he
said.The program draws mainly from archaeologists who already have a
deep love of water. Karsyn Johnson, a University of Haifa master’s
student originally from Oklahoma, grew up scuba diving in deep lakes.“I
just always loved archaeology, but I’ve always been involved in water. I
was a competitive swimmer for 11 years, and I’ve been a lifeguard for
seven or eight years,” Johnson said.After graduating from Oklahoma
University in 2021, Johnson set her sights on coming to Israel. In 2022,
she was working on a dig at Tel Hatzor in northern Israel when, on an
off day, she was in Haifa and visited the Hecht Museum. She walked into
the museum and saw the Maagan Michael ship, a 2,400-year-old trade boat
discovered off the coast of the town of Maagan Michael.“I was so
star-struck by this ship,” she said. She met with the University of
Haifa the same day about enrolling in the marine master’s program.“This
is like making a dream happen, to combine the two things, archaeology
and water,” she said.“Last week was my first time ever digging something
out of the water. It was so cool,” said Johnson.Marko Runjajic, a
first-year PhD student in the maritime archaeology program, is
overseeing the dive days and organizing the constant shift change of
which students are in the water and which students are taking a break on
land.“After high school, I started engineering and failed, and I kind
of stumbled into archaeology,” said Runjajic, who is from Croatia and
grew up in Germany.The marine excavation can be a little tedious,
requiring hours of painstakingly sucking sand from small bits of wood or
pottery, but Runjajic said the underwater digging is the most exciting
part of the year.“We only have limited time to do field work throughout
the year — it’s related to the research, grants, and funding — so these
are always special adventures,” Runjajic said. “It’s the best moment
when you go into the water because you’ve been waiting for it, you’ve
been planning it for a while, and then you pray to Poseidon that
everything’s going to work out.”-Expert vacuum cleaners-Dor Beach looks
like it has been ripped from the pages of a Caribbean resort rather than
along Israel’s Mediterranean coast. Three small islands create a
shallow lagoon, with bright blue water reflecting a cerulean sky. It’s a
far cry from the murkier parts of Israel’s coast and the grimy Haifa
port just 30 kilometers (18 miles) north. The calm, inviting waters make
it easy to envision why ancient mariners would have chosen to use the
site as a port thousands of years ago.Starting in the 1980s,
archaeologists have identified some 26 shipwrecks or remnants of cargo
in the lagoon. Previously, it’s been difficult to excavate the lagoon
because most of the archaeological remains are under around two meters
of sand. In other areas along the Carmel coast, archaeological remains
are found under just one meter of sand.In order to remove two meters of
sand while underwater, teams of around a dozen divers operate two sand
dredgers, which act like massive vacuum cleaners by sucking up the sand
from a certain area and spitting it out into a pile in another area.
Because the movement of the water naturally tries to immediately fill
any excavated area, the dredgers must be continuously at work.
Archaeologists also use sandbags to shore up the sides of an excavated
area, which needs to be at least 10 square meters (100 square feet) in
order to keep enough sand out of the area being examined.Overnight, the
carefully excavated area is swallowed by the sand, and in the morning
the archaeologists must begin the process all over again. Yasur-Landau
said the sandy areas in Dor Beach do not have extensive marine life so
there is little negative environmental impact from their digging.During a
three-week dig season in May, the team excavated two sites to explore
cargo and remnants of Persian and Iron Age shipwrecks. It was the first
time either site has been excavated since they were identified in the
1990s by divers from Israel and the United States.The divers are also
searching for evidence from before the Iron Age. Yasur-Landau said once
they reach the sediment of the seabed, below the sand layer, they’ll be
searching for any human activity from the Neolithic (9,5000 – 4,500 BCE)
or even Paleolithic period (prior to 9,500 BCE).Here, divers will need
to use more traditional archaeological devices such as trowels to
carefully dig in the clay sediment below the sand. Yasur-Landau is
optimistic they will eventually find something from this period. He’s
invited Neolithic experts from various institutions to snorkel above the
excavated area and look for any patterns that they recognize as
evidence of human activity.Remains of coastal Neolithic villages were
found at Atlit Yam, from around 8,000 BCE, when the water level was much
lower than today, so the coastal village was closer to the water.
Marine archaeology in Australia has revealed evidence of human
settlements along the continent’s coast and underwater from some 60,000
years ago.-The last frontier is under the water-Marine archaeology is
even more of a cooperative enterprise than land archaeology, because of
the sheer number of people needed to operate the equipment – the boats,
the dredgers, and ensure all the researchers safely exit the water. But
archaeology in general is undergoing a seismic shift to become much more
of a team sport, Yasur-Landau noted.“The days of a single archaeologist
in the field are over,” he said. “Everyone needs to work together…
Archaeology is being done now by teams of different researchers, each
one with their own discipline and labs.”Earlier this year, the
University of Haifa and the Technion launched a joint initiative to
apply exact sciences and cutting-edge lab technology to archaeological
digs, and cross-institutional cooperation is now the norm as
microarchaeology has forced research to become highly specialized.But
for those still searching for the swashbuckling sense of adventure and
discovery of uncovering ancient artifacts à la Indiana Jones,
Yasur-Landau believes there’s no greater place to dig than underwater.
There are hundreds of archaeologists in Israel, including more than 100
working at various academic institutions, and dozens working at the
Israel Antiquities Authority. But only seven — five from universities
and two at the IAA — are experts in underwater archaeology, he said.
It’s one of the last unexplored frontiers in a country where archaeology
regularly makes the news.“In order to be our student, you don’t need to
be the best scuba diver, but you need a certain level of curiosity,
it’s like being a discoverer or explorer… You need to have a sense of
adventure, to try to follow the great mysteries of the story of human
resilience amid changing climate conditions,” Yasur-Landau said. “Even
with all of the costs of marine archaeology, it provides an incredible
scientific yield, because there’s so few people doing it.”

Herzog: 'Blatant
incitement and an act of pure hate' Israel protests as Sweden allows
Torah burning outside embassy on Saturday-President, chief rabbis and
others call on Stockholm to stop destruction of sacred works after
Stockholm police okay request for ‘freedom of speech’ gathering-By ToI
Staff Today, 12:52 pm-JUL14
Israeli officials protested to Sweden
on Friday after local police gave the go-ahead to a request to allow
the burning of a Bible outside of the Israeli embassy in Stockholm on
Saturday, saying that the decision was tantamount to a “hate
crime.”Local police two weeks ago said they had received an application
from an individual in his 30s to burn a Jewish and a Christian Bible
outside Israel’s Embassy in Stockholm on July 15 as “a symbolic
gathering for the sake of freedom of speech.” It comes just weeks after
Quran burnings took place in the city.The move sparked widespread
outrage in Israel and Jewish groups.President Isaac Herzog said the act
was one of “pure hate.”“I unequivocally condemn the permission granted
in Sweden to burn holy books. As the President of the State of Israel, I
condemned the burning of the Quran, sacred to Muslims world over, and I
am now heartbroken that the same fate awaits a Jewish Bible, the
eternal book of the Jewish people,” Herzog said in a
statement.“Permitting the defacement of sacred texts is not an exercise
in freedom of expression, it is blatant incitement and an act of pure
hate. The whole world must join together in clearly condemning this
repulsive act.”Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said “Israel viewed
very severely this shameful decision to harm the holy of holies of the
Jewish people.”Foreign Minister Eli Cohen also condemned the plans and
said the ministry had conveyed to the Swedish embassy in Israel “the
severity with which Israel views the police permission to harm sacred
Jewish objects.”Cohen called the decision “a hate crime, a provocation
causing grave harm to the Jewish people and Jewish tradition.”“I call on
the authorities in Sweden to prevent this shameful act,” he
said.Israel’s Ambassador to Sweden Ziv Nevo Kulman on Friday expressed
his dismay over the fact Stockholm gave the request a green light.“I
utterly condemn the burning of holy books sacred to any religion, as an
act of hate and disrespect, that has nothing to do with freedom of
expression,” he tweeted.Israel’s Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi David Lau also
sent a letter to Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson urging him to
stop the desecration.“I call on you to do everything possible to prevent
this act. Freedom of expression does not mean permitting everything,”
Lau wrote.“Any desecration of sacred Jewish items is not freedom, but
antisemitism,” he said.Chief Sephardic Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef implored
Sweden’s figurehead king Carl XVI Gustaf to intervene, condemning the
planned event as well as the recent burning of the Quran in front of a
mosque in Sweden.“By preventing this event from occurring, you would
send a powerful message to the world that Sweden stands firmly against
religious intolerance and that such acts have no place in a civilized
society,” he wrote.According to the Ynet news site, Diaspora Minister
Amichai Chikli also wrote a letter to Kristersson requesting that the
Swedish premier order a stop to the burning.Swedish Foreign Minister
Tobias Billström responded to Chikli, saying that the Swedish government
is not authorized to infringe upon its citizens’ constitutional right
of free speech but emphasized his country’s efforts in combating
antisemitism.Meanwhile, United Torah Judaism MK Moshe Gafni called
Foreign Minister Eli Cohen to urge additional steps to try and stop the
burning, the Walla news site reported.“This is a shameful act and we
can’t allow it, I reverently hope that we will manage to stop this,” he
said.The European Jewish Congress also issued a statement strongly
condemning the act.“Provocative, racist, antisemitic and sickening acts
such as these have no place in any civilized society,” EJC president
Ariel Muzicant said.“Stamping on the deepest religious and cultural
sensibilities of people is the clearest expression possible to send a
message that minorities are unwelcome and unrespected,” Muzicant added.
“These actions, based on contorted and specious free speech arguments,
are a disgrace to Sweden and any democratic government worthy of the
name should prevent it.”Two weeks ago, the Swedish police allowed a
Quran burning in front of a mosque in Stockholm to go ahead, citing
freedom of speech after a court overturned a ban on Quran
burning.Sweden’s government condemned the Quran burning, calling it an
“Islamophobic” act after a call for collective measures to avoid future
Quran burnings was issued by the Saudi-based Organization of Islamic
Cooperation.The 57-member body met at its Jeddah headquarters to respond
to the incident, in which an Iraqi citizen living in Sweden, Salwan
Momika, 37, stomped on the Islamic holy book, filled some pages with
bacon and set several others alight.“The burning of the Quran, or any
other holy text, is an offensive and disrespectful act and a clear
provocation. Expressions of racism, xenophobia and related intolerance
have no place in Sweden or in Europe,” the Swedish foreign ministry
said.At the same time, the ministry added that Sweden has a
“constitutionally protected right to freedom of assembly, expression and
demonstration.”Countries including Iraq, Kuwait, the United Arab
Emirates, and Morocco summoned Swedish ambassadors in protest at the
Quran-burning incident.Swedish police had granted Momika a permit in
line with free speech protections, but authorities later said they had
opened an investigation over “agitation against an ethnic group,” noting
that Momika had burnt pages from the Islamic holy book very close to
Stockholm’s largest mosque.AFP contributed to this report.

‘Squad’ Democrats join Omar-led boycott of Herzog congressional
address-Jamaal Bowman, Cori Bush and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez bring
number of lawmakers skipping president’s July 19 speech to four-By Jacob
Magid 14 July 2023, 10:12 pm
Three US lawmakers said they
planned to boycott Israeli President Isaac Herzog’s speech to a joint
session of Congress next week, joining a colleague who scoffed that
there was “no way in hell” she would attend.Reps. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez, Jamaal Bowman and Cori Bush‘s offices each confirmed that
they would not be attending the July 19 speech, backing Rep. Ilhan
Omar, who was the first to make such a decision on Wednesday.All four
lawmakers are part of the so-called Squad of progressive Democrats and
additional members of the eight-member group are expected to follow
suit.Few others, though, are expected to blackball Herzog, whose
figurehead role and ties to Israel’s peace camp make him a far less
divisive figure than many other Israeli leaders, such as Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu.Bowman was the only lawmaker of the three latest
additions to the list who offered comment on his decision, telling the
right-wing newspaper Epoch Times that “I don’t think Israel has gone far
enough in protecting and uplifting Palestinian rights and Palestinian
lives.”The New York congressman has become increasingly critical of
Israel since entering Congress in 2021 after defeating incumbent Elliot
Engel, who was backed heavily by mainstream pro-Israel groups.Bowman
voted in favor of supplemental Iron Dome missile defense system funding
for Israel in September 2021. He also visited Israel and the West Bank
in December 2021 with J Street.But he has since dropped support for a
bill aimed at expanding the Abraham Accords, telling constituents that
the agreements serve to isolate the Palestinians and do not advance a
just outcome.Ocasio-Cortez has similarly grown increasingly critical of
Israel since entering Congress in 2019. She voted to abstain on the Iron
Dome funding legislation and like Bowman, she co-sponsored legislation
introduced last year by Palestinian-American Rep. Rashida Tlaib that
would’ve seen the US formally recognize the Palestinian “Nakba” or
“catastrophe” that coincided with the establishment of Israel.In 2021,
Ocasio-Cortez submitted a proposal, later defeated, aimed at blocking a
$735 million missile sale to Israel. After backlash from pro-Palestinian
activists, she withdrew from a September 2020 scheduled speaking
appearance at an event honoring the late Israeli prime minister Yitzhak
Rabin, which was organized by the left-wing Americans for Peace Now.Bush
has taken even more hardline positions against Israel, expressing
support for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement and joining
eight other lawmakers in voting against the Iron Dome funding
legislation.Tlaib and nearly a dozen prospective boycotters have through
Friday afternoon refrained from comment on whether they’ll attend
Herzog’s speech.As the boycott announcements came trickling in, the
Democratic Party’s leader in the House Rep. Hakeem Jeffries sought to
send a different message.He told reporters at a press conference Friday
that Herzog “has been a force for good in Israeli society.”“Because
Israel is such an important part of the Middle East, because we have
such a special relationship with Israel and because Israel is an
important part of the global community… I look forward to welcoming him
with open arms when he comes to speak before Congress next Wednesday,”
he added.Herzog is slated to give the speech marking Israel’s 75th
anniversary on Wednesday after receiving an invitation last year by
then-House speaker Nancy Pelosi, which current Speaker Kevin McCarthy
reissued earlier this year.In her post on Wednesday, Omar wrote, “There
is no way in hell I am attending.”“We should not be inviting the
president of Israel — a government who under its current prime minister
barred the first two Muslim women elected to Congress from visiting the
country — to give a joint address to Congress,” Omar tweeted in all
caps, noting that 2019 ban had meant fellow Muslim congresswoman Rashida
Tlaib was unable to visit her grandmother who lives in the West
Bank.While Herzog is seen as a more palatable figure for many Democrats
who have long soured on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Omar’s
announcement demonstrated that animosity toward Israel runs much deeper
than any particular government.At the same time, the hardline nature of
the current coalition is sure to make it easier for other progressive
lawmakers to follow Omar’s lead.While Omar recognized that Herzog is a
head of state rather than a head of government and does not dictate
policy, she characterized him as a “faithful policy ambassador” of the
“most right-wing government in Israel’s history, at a time when the
government is openly promising to ‘crush’ Palestinian hopes of
statehood— essentially putting a nail in the coffin of peace and a
two-state solution.”The Democratic congresswoman was quoting Netanyahu,
who reportedly told fellow Likud lawmakers last month that Israel “needs
to crush [the Palestinian] ambition” for an independent state.

UN says Syria setting ‘unacceptable’ conditions
for aid to rebel-held areas-Over four million people in northwest Syria
in need of food, water, medicine and other essentials, with supplies
suspended in since Monday-By Amélie BOTTOLLIER-DEPOIS-JUL 15,23-Today,
7:53 am
UNITED NATIONS (AFP) — The United Nations is concerned
about “unacceptable conditions” set by Damascus for allowing aid to flow
through its Bab al-Hawa crossing to rebel-held areas in northwest
Syria, according to a document reviewed Friday by AFP.The delivery of
humanitarian aid through the crossing has been stalled since Monday when
a 2014 UN deal expired.A letter this week from Syrian authorities
allowing the use of the border crossing between Turkey and Syria
“contains two unacceptable conditions,” according to a document sent to
the UN Security Council from the Office for the Coordination of
Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).OCHA said it was concerned that the Syrian
government had “stressed that the United Nations should not communicate
with entities designated as ‘terrorist.'”The second condition it bridled
at was that the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the
Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC) should “supervise and facilitate the
distribution of humanitarian aid” in northwest Syria.The UN says more
than four million people in northwest Syria are in need of food, water,
medicine and other essentials.Through an arrangement that began in 2014,
the UN largely delivers relief to northwest Syria via neighboring
Turkey through the Bab al-Hawa crossing.Syria announced on Thursday that
it would authorize the UN to use Bab al-Hawa to deliver vital
humanitarian aid to millions of people in rebel-held areas for six
months.Syria’s ambassador to the UN Bassam Sabbagh told reporters on
Thursday that his country had taken a “sovereign decision” on allowing
the aid to continue.That announcement followed the expiration on Monday
of a mechanism that has allowed UN convoys to use the crossing to rebel
areas without authorization from Damascus.UN Secretary-General Antonio
Guterres’s spokesman Stephane Dujarric said on Friday that “there’s been
no crossings in Bab al-Hawa with United Nations humanitarian aid,”
adding that authorities were reviewing Syria’s authorization.“We’re
taking a look at… what exactly was expressed in the letter,” he
said.“These things need to be studied carefully,” he added, reiterating
the UN’s “commitment to delivering humanitarian assistance guided by
humanitarian principles of non-interference, of impartiality.”The OCHA
document seen by AFP also called for the need to “review” and “clarify”
parts of Damascus’ letter, saying the deliveries “must not infringe on
the impartiality… neutrality, and independence of the United Nations’
humanitarian operations.”Damascus regularly denounces the UN aid
deliveries as a violation of its sovereignty, and major ally Moscow has
been chipping away at the deal for years.Russia on Tuesday vetoed a
nine-month extension of the agreement, and then failed to muster enough
votes to adopt a six-month extension.The 15 UN Security Council members
had been trying for days to find a compromise to extend the cross-border
aid deal.Syria’s conflict has killed more than 500,000 people,
displaced millions and battered the country’s infrastructure and
industry.“The scale of needs in Syria requires a comprehensive and
unrestricted approach to humanitarian aid,” the ICRC delegation in New
York told AFP.“We stand ready to support in ways that fall within our
capabilities and with the consent of all parties involved.”

US sending F-16 fighter jets to protect ships
from Iranian seizures in Gulf region-Iran tried to grab two oil tankers
near the Strait of Hormuz last week, opening fire on one of them-By
Lolita C. Baldor-JUL 15,23-Today, 6:59 am
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
US is beefing up its use of fighter jets around the strategic Strait of
Hormuz to protect ships from Iranian seizures, a senior defense official
said Friday, adding that the US is increasingly concerned about the
growing ties between Iran, Russia and Syria across the Middle
East.Speaking to Pentagon reporters, the official said the US will send
F-16 fighter jets to the Gulf region this weekend to augment the A-10
attack aircraft that have been patrolling there for more than a week.
The move comes after Iran tried to seize two oil tankers near the strait
last week, opening fire on one of them.The defense official, who spoke
on condition of anonymity to provide details of military operations in
the region, said the F-16s will give air cover to the ships moving
through the waterway and increase the military’s visibility in the area,
as a deterrent to Iran.The US Navy said in both instances the Iranian
naval vessels backed off when the USS McFaul, a guided-missile
destroyer, arrived on the scene.In addition, the defense official told
reporters the US is considering a number of military options to address
increasing Russian aggression in the skies over Syria, which complicated
efforts to strike an Islamic State group leader last weekend. The
official declined to detail the options, but said the US will not cede
any territory and will continue to fly in the western part of the
country on anti-Islamic State missions.The Russian military activity,
which has increased in frequency and aggression since March, stems from
growing cooperation and coordination between Moscow, Tehran and the
Syrian government to try to pressure the US to leave Syria, the official
said.The official said Russia is beholden to Iran for its support in
the war in Ukraine, and Tehran wants the US out of Syria so it can more
easily move lethal aid to Lebanese Hezbollah and threaten Israel. The US
has seen more cooperation, collaboration, planning and intelligence
sharing, largely between mid-level Russian and Iranian Quds force
leaders in Syria, to pressure the US to remove troops from Syria, the
official added.There are about 900 US forces in the country, and others
move in and out to conduct missions targeting Islamic State group
militants.The U.S. does not believe Russian aircraft plan to drop bombs
on US troops or shoot down manned aircraft. But there are concerns that
Russian pilots will knock a Reaper drone out of the sky and that Moscow
believes that type of action would not get a strong US military
response, the official said.As an example, in March, a Russian warplane
poured jet fuel on a US surveillance drone and then struck its
propeller, forcing the US military to ditch the MQ-9 Reaper into the
Black Sea. The incident spiked tensions between the two countries and
triggered a call between their defense chiefs, but led to no direct
military response.Last week, Rear Adm. Oleg Gurinov, head of the Russian
Reconciliation Center for Syria, said the Russian and Syrian militaries
have been doing joint training. In comments carried by Syrian state
media, he said Moscow is concerned about drone flights by the US-led
coalition over northern Syria, calling them “systematic violations of
protocols” designed to avoid clashes between the two militaries.US and
Russian military commanders routinely communicate over a deconfliction
phone line that has been in place for several years to avoid unintended
clashes in Syria, where both sides have troops on the ground and in the
air.There are often many calls a day, and at times result in angry
threats as commanders argue over an ongoing operation, said the US
official. Describing a conversation, the official said the Russians will
often declare an area of space a restricted operating zone and say they
are doing military exercises there.The US sees no exercises, and tells
Russia that American forces are on a counterterror mission against the
Islamic State group and plan to fly in that area. The Russians then say
they can’t guarantee US aircraft safety if they go there. And once the
mission begins, and the aircraft move into the zone, “it sometimes gets
very heated,” said the official, as both sides loudly protest and reject
the other’s assertions.The most recent incident was Friday morning,
when a Russia aircraft flew repeatedly over the at-Tanf garrison in
eastern Syria, where US forces are training Syrian allies and monitoring
Islamic State militant activity. The official said the Russian An-30
aircraft was collecting intelligence on the base.The US did not have
fighter aircraft in the area and took no direct action against the
Russian flight.

Face biometrics algorithms and products with better accuracy joining market-Jul 15, 2023, 10:28 am EDT-| Chris Burt
Novel
biometrics advances and major government digital ID programs dominated
the top headlines on Biometric Update this week. The most-read news
takes in algorithms and 3D sensors for facial recognition, and digital
ID for people in DRC, Ghana, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Ethiopia, Nepal and
Kenya. Idemia has won a continuation contract for biometric passports,
Paravision has shown impressive accuracy again, and Metalenz has struck a
product development partnership.A new national ID card storing
citizens’ biometrics is being launched in the Democratic Republic of
Congo, which plans to kick-start its enrollment process by using data
from a voter registration campaign that is currently being conducted. In
Ghana, some 800,000 ID cards remain uncollected, while the country is
embarking on an exercise to register those not yet enrolled in the
system.Large data breaches have been suffered by government systems in
Bangladesh and Indonesia. While passport data from nearly 35 million
Indonesians was stolen, Tempo reports that officials have denied any
biometric data was included in the hack. In Bangladesh, a leak of
national ID card numbers made the country’s online birth registration
system vulnerable to manipulation, according to reports.Ethiopia’s
government and national bank are planning to enroll those with bank
accounts in its national digital ID during the 2023/2024 financial year,
before making the ID mandatory for bank transactions. Then the
government wants everyone else signed up by the end of 2025, which is
says will benefit financial inclusion.User authentication may or may not
helped to prevent the fatal e-scooter accident involving an underage
rider using someone else’s account in the UK, Biometrics Institute CEO
Isabelle Moeller tells Biometric Update. Onfido provides the e-scooter
rental company with biometric ID verification, but not authentication,
while the rental company says it is reviewing its options.Idemia will
supply Nepal with 2.8 million biometric passport booklets, along with
support services, as the country prepares for its next contract. The
country was running low on 34-page booklets, and Idemia is providing the
additional passports, which people can enroll for at 26 centers across
the country, at a reduced price.Kenya is preparing to select technology
suppliers for the UPI digital ID scheme, which is supposed to go live by
October. NADRA, a European firm, and an Indian bidder are rumored to be
in the running for contract. There may be conflict within government
over the decision.NIST is showing off fake fingers newly developed for
assessing contactless fingerprint biometric technology. The test fingers
are intended to compare 2D contact and 3D contactless images, and are
made with 3D-printed bones. The agency expects them to provide a
consistent benchmark with a human-like form factor.Facial recognition
developers continue to push the state of the art forward, with the July 5
edition of the NIST FRVT 1:N. The agency found that algorithms
submitted within the last three months by Megvii, Paravision, Kakao,
Armatura, Verigram, Maxvision and Omnigarde make up nearly a third of
the top 22 in overall biometric accuracy.Metalenz and Dilusense are
working together to build 3D facial recognition into smart locks and
payment kiosks in a new partnership. The Orion structured-light sensor
from Metalenz combines the functionality of several traditional lenses,
CEO Rob Devlin tells Biometric Update.The acquisition of ForgeRock by
Thoma Bravo is getting another look by a U.S. Justice Department
anti-trust unit. The private equity fund’s acquisition of Ping Identity
last year brings two competitors under the same corporate umbrella, and
could be challenged in court.
Procurement begins for Sri Lanka’s national digital ID-Jul 14, 2023, 5:40 pm EDT-| William McCurdy
The
procurement process for Sri Lanka’s national digital identity project
has begun in partnership with the Indian government.Only Indian
suppliers are able to bid on the project, which will include collecting
face, iris and fingerprint biometrics. The Information and Communication
Technology Agency will oversee the biometric system’s
implementation.The Indian government will oversee software development
in the Indo-Sri Lanka Joint Project for the Sri Lanka Unique Digital
Identity Project. Indian officials earlier this year signed agreed to
support the project, a deal that included a 300 million Sri Lankan rupee
(US$3.8 million) grant.The resulting national ID program is expected to
resemble India’s Aadhaar digital ID program and to run on MOSIP.Sri
Lanka’s Information and Communication Technology Agency and
PricewaterhouseCoopers will consult on the project, according to
reporting by Sri Lankan news publication Newswire.According to reporting
by Sri Lankan IT trade publication ReadME, India wants registration
completed in two years.The goals of the project include more efficient
delivery of government services, reduced corruption and increased
financial inclusion.
UK police force claims facial recognition generating hundreds of leads-Jul 14, 2023, 5:26 pm EDT-| William McCurdy
The
UK’s South Wales Police (SWP) is reportedly getting 140 matches a month
using retrospective (or “forensic”) facial recognition technology,
according to an interview reported by Police Oracle. The chief constable
at the SWP, Jeremy Vaughan, told the Welsh Affairs Committee that the
technology is only being used for serious offenses such as rape.He
explained that by using facial technology retrospectively, they have
caught sex offenders on buses, trains, and outside of school
playgrounds.Vaughan explained how these images, typically captured from
sources like CCTV, mobile phones, and social media, are compared against
600,000 images held by the SWP and the Gwent police force.The chief
also outlined how the force uses the technology, saying there is “a
clear escalation/authorization process for who’s on the watch list” and
that it doesn’t retain people’s data.The SWP resumed using live facial
recognition in April of this year, a technology that has been
controversial in the UK due to accusations of racial bias.Though a
third-party report found that there was no evidence of significant bias
by the technology, this hasn’t stopped harsh and continued criticism
from human rights campaigners such as Big Brother Watch.Despite the
criticisms of bias, Vaughan defended the technology during the
interview, saying, “We’re duty bound to use whatever technology we can —
within the law — to protect the public.” “I include facial recognition
in that,” he adds.The police leader recommends the introduction of an
internal Code of Practice within the police force to stop the tech from
being misused, as this would be quick to implement and approve.
Beware overreliance on digital ID for financial inclusion. Policy is just as key-Jul 14, 2023, 3:41 pm EDT-| Jim Nash
Welcome
to the peak of inflated expectations for digital-ID onboarding for
financial services.All familiar with the remarkably long-lived Hype
Cycle, a predictive model created by research firm Gartner, know that
the peak is a heady time for a growing tech market. It is when the
maximum amount of marketing hot air is produced and consumed.Gartner
calls what follows the trough of disillusionment, when buyers (and the
media) realize that no matter what anyone says, only so much butter can
be spread on a slice of bread. Some particularly hard-bitten IT veterans
call it the trough of despair.But that remains in the future for
digital ID systems for financial inclusion.Right now, a small number of
analysts and other observers are calling out weaknesses in arguments
that using digital IDs to universalize financial services. Some
observers say too little is being done about equally essential steps
that, if taken, might even accelerate digital ID systems’
effectiveness.A Carnegie Endowment for International Peace report
published this week waves a warning flag. Governments around the world
have bought into industry hyperbole about how much digitally enabled
financial inclusion can change consumers’ lives for the better.The
shortfall between expectations and actuality is growing, too, as
government budgets are strained.Carnegie analysts have produced their
share of cheerleading articles about the necessity of getting digital
ID-secured financial tools in the hands of people, particularly people
in the Global South. (They have come at the topic mostly through a
steadfast focus on cybersecurity.)In this week’s report, Carnegie
estimated that at least 1.9 billion people in the world do not have bank
accounts of any variety, “a useful proxy for measuring formal financial
inclusion.”But most everyone capable for making a difference here are
turning to technology – which is essential in remedying the problem. But
their benefits are “either overstated or vaguely delineated” and
too-rapid scaling of systems is not helping.Rushing inclusion through
digital tools, according to the report, has already left gaps and
inconsistencies in programs.Much more effort is needed in adequately
protecting people who make financial transactions on digital platforms.
Harms send ripples through communities, Carnegie states.Advancements in
digital banking and fintech in Nigeria, for example, enabled a 45
percent year-over-year jump in fraudulent activity in 2021, according to
reporting by Africa-focused trade publication TechCabal.Indeed, a graph
of fraud growth compiled by TechCabal using Nigerian Deposit Insurance
Scheme data looks very much like the rocketry that venture capitalists
prefer to see for their returns.And yet, major players in advising
governments, like the Tony Blair Institute for Change, overwhelmingly
tailor them messages to economic benefits for nations and citizens.There
is no chance that, for example, the Blair Institute, ignores
non-technology programs, security and making victims whole. But to the
extent that they are driving home the message that software alone is
going to produce bails of cash, they are overselling that tool.
ENISA issues new EUDI Wallet recommendations in report on digital ID standards-Jul 14, 2023, 12:46 pm EDT-| Masha Borak
From
ITU and ICAO to NIST and FIDO, organizations across the world have been
working on a multitude of standards in the area of digital identity. A
new report from the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) is
attempting to help digital ID creators find their way through this
alphabet soup while formulating recommendations for standard makers.The
Digital Identity Standards report, released in July, proposes new
recommendations for standardization organizations, government agencies
and policymakers. Special attention is paid to the European Digital
Identity (EUDI) Wallet, a project that will give each European citizen
and business unique and verifiable credentials which has recently kicked
off pilots across the continent.One of ENISA’s key recommendations for
policymakers regarding the EUDI Wallet is finding a clear legal
definition of the term “digital identity.” Another is to use the new
Digital Markets Act to provide direct access from the mobile application
to the security anchor provided by EU CC-certified secure elements
available on smartphones.The cybersecurity agency also wants European
organizations to standardize the EUDI Wallet interfaces with QTSP,
relying parties, devices, existing national eID documents and existing
eIDAS node infrastructures. Another issue that requires standardization
is the privacy evaluation methodology for EUDI and digital identities in
general.ENISA wants European standardization organizations to
coordinate and divide responsibilities to avoid doing double work. The
bloc should adopt standards such as ISO/IEC 18013-5 and the ISO/IEC DIS
23220 series as European norms, the report states.Standardization
organizations should also define a harmonized authentication protocol
between the EUDI Wallet and the relying parties and prepare a generic
code-of-conduct methodology to be applied to the (Q)TSP and the EUDI
Wallet.The final set of recommendations is aimed at ENISA itself as an
agency dedicated to achieving a high common level of cybersecurity
across Europe. This includes publishing overviews of endorsed digital ID
standards and existing digital ID models, and assessing impacts on
cybersecurity standards.According to the recommendations, ENISA should
also create ad hoc groups to address potential EUDI Wallet
vulnerabilities and cooperate with other standardization organizations
in assisting EU institutions, bodies and agencies, EU Member States and
private organizations.Aside from providing recommendations for the EUDI
Wallet, the report gives an overview of the most important standards
and standardization organizations, including European and international
organizations, commercial forums and consortiums as well as national
organizations. It also analyzes different digital identity standards
covering several areas, from policy and governance to technical and
operational specifications.Among the areas that are covered are general
standards used in trust services and identity management, including
identity proofing, biometrics and presentation attack detection. In
addition, the paper delves into specific groups of standards, such as
the International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) electronic travel
documents, mobile driving licenses (mDLs) and mobile eIDs, X.509 public
key certificates, Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), OpenID
Connect, FIDO2, and Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI). A matrix matches the
various standards to their areas of application within eIDAS 2.0.

slew of the world’s largest automakers, including Sony, Honda, Ford,
Genesis, and Mullen Automotive, have all either recently announced or
patented facial recognition technologies.A newly unveiled prototype car
from Sony and Honda, called “Afeela,” is set to employ facial
recognition to unlock the vehicle and open its door.The semiconductors
and chipsets set to underpin this biometric tech will be provided by
electronics giant Qualcomm.The firms will start taking orders in 2025,
with U.S. deliveries set to start in 2026.Commenting on the move, Sony
Honda Mobility President Izumi Kawanishi told Axios, that though the
automotive industry has been “a very traditional business,” it is
“growing up” by adopting products and software from the IT world.Ford is
yet another example of a major automaker that appears it could be
getting into the action. In June, the auto giant filed a patent
application for “enhanced biometric authorization,” which includes but
is not limited to facial recognition.Beyond just controlling access to
the vehicle, the newly published patent filing covers technology where
the user’s biometric data stored on the system can be updated
automatically. This may potentially enable greater accuracy in the
occurrence of changes like weight gain, aging, or other factors that can
significantly impact appearance.A similar patent application, filed and
published by the USPTO around the same time, describes a method that
would allow the vehicle to “maintain user data that corresponds to
current user biometric data, which can reduce the likelihood that an
authorized user will fail biometric authorization, or an unauthorized
user will pass biometric authorization.”California EV firm Mullen
Automotive is yet another example of a company that is announcing facial
recognition tools.The firm is set to launch Persona, an AI vehicle
technology, which among other use cases will enable users to lock and
unlock vehicles with face biometrics.Mullen also touts some of the
potential commercial use cases of the tech, suggesting delivery drivers
could automatically unlock their vehicle as they approach it after
making the delivery.
Regula improves ID document verification with new light source capabilities-Jul 14, 2023, 12:30 pm EDT-| Beverly Crawford-Westre
Regula,
the company that produces the Regula 4306 compact video spectral
comparator, has recently added two new light-based detection features to
its device that forensic experts have highly requested. These new
features enable the examination of relief and security features of
documents that would otherwise be invisible to the naked eye. This
allows for quicker and more accurate detection of counterfeit and forged
documents, making it easier to fight against identity fraud. The Regula
4306 can verify various security features of identity documents and
banknotes, using different light sources and filters that can reveal the
use of counterfeits and forgeries.A notable addition to the Regula 4306
is implementing a cutting-edge light source that can identify
anti-Stokes luminescence. This luminescence is a unique feature of
anti-Stokes inks found in various identification materials and
banknotes, which serve as a security measure. When exposed to
high-intensity infrared light, these inks emit a distinct glow. This new
light source integrated with the Regula 4306 also functions in live
mode, enabling experts to swiftly locate security elements that may have
otherwise gone unnoticed in static mode.The Regula 4306 has also been
upgraded with a new feature that enables experts to control the angle of
oblique light. This type of light is crucial for detecting relief-based
features, such as hidden inscriptions and security features, on certain
documents. With the option for manual regulation, forensic experts and
document examiners can now view these hidden features with greater
precision and efficiency.Alex Lewanowicz, director of hardware
engineering at Regula states, “Regula 4306 has long been one of our most
iconic devices, widely used in forensic laboratories, at border control
points and customs, in banks and financial institutions, and in many
other organizations. Being equipped with a high-resolution camera, a
range of light sources and filters, and providing broad opportunities
for document examination, including hyperspectral imaging and 3D
visualization, this device still has a compact size and appealing price.
We keep updating and redesigning it since we know it’s in high demand.
Throughout the design process, we are driven by our customers’ needs,
and this update is no exception.”
Neurotechnology shows impressive fingerprint biometrics accuracy in NIST evaluation-Jul 13, 2023, 3:38 pm EDT-| Chris Burt
A
fingerprint biometrics matching algorithm submitted by Neurotechnology
has topped the leaderboard of the U.S. National Institute of Standards
and Technology’s Minutiae Interoperability Exchange (MINEX) III.The
“+010E” algorithm developed for Neurotechnology’s MegaMatcher was
evaluated by NIST with a 0.000006 pooled two-finger false non-match rate
(FNMR) at a false match rate (FMR) of 0.01, and an FNMR of 0.00323 at
an FMR of 0.0001 for native one-finger matching. Both results are 10
times better than the second-best algorithm.Neurotechnology is now at
the top of both the template generation and matching categories of MINEX
III.“We are proud to achieve such great results in the latest NIST
MINEX III evaluation, which highlighted Neurotechnology’s
industry-leading performance in the biometric field,” says Evaldas
Borcovas, biometric research lead at Neurotechnology. “Over the past few
months our algorithms have shown top results in multiple NIST
evaluations, often overtaking the closest competitors by significant
margins and setting ever higher accuracy standards for the industry. I
believe such performance is a true testament of our team’s ability to
continuously provide market leading multi-biometric
technologies.”Algorithms from Miaxis Biometrics and Mantra Softech have
also been evaluated by NIST within the last two months, with each
landing in the top 10 template matchers.Template generators have also
been submitted by Miaxis, Mantra, HID Global’s DigitalPersona, and
Precision Biometric since April.

Prisons from Hong Kong to Chennai to Georgia are setting up biometric surveillance-Jul 13, 2023, 5:50 pm EDT-| Bianca Gonzalez
Hong
Kong’s Correctional Services Department this week agreed with Hong Kong
Science and Technology Parks to build a framework for exploring
“market-proven” projects to address jail needs.According to the prisons’
department, the two organizations, which have worked together on other
projects, have signed a memo of understanding outlining development
goals. One of the goals is the creation of a “penal lab” for testing
technologies.The prisons’ commissioner has linked this work to Chinese
government-imposed biometric surveillance development throughout the
rest of Hong Kong.In 2021, the Tai Tam Gap Correctional Institution
became Hong Kong’s first so-called smart prison, distributing biometric
wristbands and creating a CCTV system with facial recognition
capabilitiesBiometrics part of prison economy in Indian city of
Chennai-Officials with Prisons and Correctional Services in India’s
Tamil Nadu state say they have upgraded prisoner canteens in all state
central prisons and special prisons for women throughout according to
news publisher The Hindu.Previously cash-only, the canteens now required
that purchases be facilitated by biometric authentication. Prisoners
reportedly can see their weekly and net spending balances at any
time.So-called A-class prisoners can spend up to 1,000 rupees (US$12.18)
each week. B-class prisoners are limited to 750 rupees ($9.14).
Officials monitor business conducted in canteens, which are audited.The
central government faced scrutiny in May over allegedly providing
contradictory information about how facial recognition has been
implemented in prisons.Biometric surveillance goes to US jail suffering
medieval conditions-A surveillance system is monitoring jails in Fulton
County, Ga. The Talitrix system was introduced in February with
biometric cuffs that also report location.According to technology news
and culture magazine Wired, conditions in a jail in Atlanta border on
dungeon-like, with horrific bedbug infestations, people sleeping in
plastic trays on the floor and faulty cell doors.The government says
biometrics infrastructure can automate the monitoring of prisoners,
especially now as the corrections department faces staff
shortages.County officials have bought 750 sensors for $350 each and
1,000 wristbands for $130 each. A plan is in place to put biometric
cuffs on 450 inmates to track heart rates and to communicate with
sensors in facility walls. No timeline for full deployment has been made
public.
Face biometrics algorithms and products with better accuracy joining market-Jul 15, 2023, 10:28 am EDT-| Chris Burt
Novel
biometrics advances and major government digital ID programs dominated
the top headlines on Biometric Update this week. The most-read news
takes in algorithms and 3D sensors for facial recognition, and digital
ID for people in DRC, Ghana, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Ethiopia, Nepal and
Kenya. Idemia has won a continuation contract for biometric passports,
Paravision has shown impressive accuracy again, and Metalenz has struck a
product development partnership.A new national ID card storing
citizens’ biometrics is being launched in the Democratic Republic of
Congo, which plans to kick-start its enrollment process by using data
from a voter registration campaign that is currently being conducted. In
Ghana, some 800,000 ID cards remain uncollected, while the country is
embarking on an exercise to register those not yet enrolled in the
system.Large data breaches have been suffered by government systems in
Bangladesh and Indonesia. While passport data from nearly 35 million
Indonesians was stolen, Tempo reports that officials have denied any
biometric data was included in the hack. In Bangladesh, a leak of
national ID card numbers made the country’s online birth registration
system vulnerable to manipulation, according to reports.Ethiopia’s
government and national bank are planning to enroll those with bank
accounts in its national digital ID during the 2023/2024 financial year,
before making the ID mandatory for bank transactions. Then the
government wants everyone else signed up by the end of 2025, which is
says will benefit financial inclusion.User authentication may or may not
helped to prevent the fatal e-scooter accident involving an underage
rider using someone else’s account in the UK, Biometrics Institute CEO
Isabelle Moeller tells Biometric Update. Onfido provides the e-scooter
rental company with biometric ID verification, but not authentication,
while the rental company says it is reviewing its options.Idemia will
supply Nepal with 2.8 million biometric passport booklets, along with
support services, as the country prepares for its next contract. The
country was running low on 34-page booklets, and Idemia is providing the
additional passports, which people can enroll for at 26 centers across
the country, at a reduced price.Kenya is preparing to select technology
suppliers for the UPI digital ID scheme, which is supposed to go live by
October. NADRA, a European firm, and an Indian bidder are rumored to be
in the running for contract. There may be conflict within government
over the decision.NIST is showing off fake fingers newly developed for
assessing contactless fingerprint biometric technology. The test fingers
are intended to compare 2D contact and 3D contactless images, and are
made with 3D-printed bones. The agency expects them to provide a
consistent benchmark with a human-like form factor.Facial recognition
developers continue to push the state of the art forward, with the July 5
edition of the NIST FRVT 1:N. The agency found that algorithms
submitted within the last three months by Megvii, Paravision, Kakao,
Armatura, Verigram, Maxvision and Omnigarde make up nearly a third of
the top 22 in overall biometric accuracy.Metalenz and Dilusense are
working together to build 3D facial recognition into smart locks and
payment kiosks in a new partnership. The Orion structured-light sensor
from Metalenz combines the functionality of several traditional lenses,
CEO Rob Devlin tells Biometric Update.The acquisition of ForgeRock by
Thoma Bravo is getting another look by a U.S. Justice Department
anti-trust unit. The private equity fund’s acquisition of Ping Identity
last year brings two competitors under the same corporate umbrella, and
could be challenged in court.
Trying to ride decentralized ID wave, cheqd unveils credential SaaS-Jul 14, 2023, 12:27 pm EDT | Jim Nash
Launching
digital credentials software in a new hosted service API, trusted data
network cheqd hopes to draw customers who want a faster way integrate
identity functions into their apps as decentralized ID paradigms
grow.The new software-as-a-service API, Credential Service, was
announced this week. Cheqd executives boast that subscribers will be
able to “effortlessly” build credential apps and trusted data markets
“from scratch” without knowing anything about underlying software.While
some self-hosting capability at cheqd has been available for at least
seven months, according to the firm, this is the debut of its hosted
SaaS API.Decentralized ID is a goal of many startups and other smaller
companies but not all of them want to get elbow-deep in programming any
functions, much less credentialling.All “existing” open-source code
libraries are still available to customers. Similarly, the API allows
subscribers to “build into their existing toolings,” according to the
company.Cheqd also says customers don’t have to change their
self-sovereign ID, or decentralized identity, stack in its entirety to
use the new API.
Identifying billions: white paper touts economic heft of digital ID-Jun 30, 2023, 5:44 pm EDT-| Joel R. McConvey
The
convenience and practical security benefits of digital credentials are
often listed among their top benefits. But a new white paper from ATB
Ventures emphasizes the vast economic potential in a Canadian
marketplace that is ready for the widespread use of digital ID.The white
paper, Trust & the Evolution of Digital Identity in Canada, says
that eight in ten Canadians now support digital IDs. More specifically,
66 percent believe in the importance of a secure and trusted digital ID
to use for online transactions. And four in ten are already using
digital wallets on their smartphones.In this enthusiastic climate, says
the paper, the Digital ID and Authentication Council of Canada (DIACC)
estimates the potential economic value of trusted digital identity to be
at least one percent of Canada’s GDP, equivalent to C$15 billion
(US$11.3 billion).“The time is right for both public and private sectors
to adopt digital credentials and decentralize digital identity
technology,” the paper says. “This will allow organizations to mitigate
risks, safeguard their customers’ privacy, and foster trust in an
increasingly interconnected world. From travel documentation, to
financial account creation, to government service management:
opportunities for evolution are unlimited.”Safety first, $15 billion
second-While the paper is understandably keen to highlight the “$15
billion opportunity currently facing citizens, businesses, and
governments,” it does not ignore pressing concerns around digital ID and
biometric security. Centralized systems, it argues, come with risks
that are only increasing. Its authors cite the historic spike in fraud
cases recorded in 2022.“Traditional cloud storage solutions, while
convenient and scalable, can pose a risk of data breaches due to the
centralized nature,” the paper says. “In contrast, decentralized data
storage solutions offer enhanced security by distributing information
across multiple storage networks, making it more difficult for
cybercriminals to access and compromise sensitive data.”Just as new
threats can drive timelines on development, so can global competition.
Although the paper points out that Canada ranked 7th in the latest World
Economic Forum report on digital competitiveness, it chides Canadian
privacy policy for allowing 72 percent of Canadian companies to grant
third-party access to data they collect from customers. Speed to market
may also become a factor in policy change, with three quarters of
Canadians saying they believe it is important for governments to move
quickly on implementing digital IDsDIACC ushers in new board to guide
digital ID-The DIACC has a new team dedicated to the mushrooming issues
around digital trust, identity, data control and privacy protection. A
release says the refreshed board is comprised of “renowned leaders and
visionaries from various sectors.”New appointees include Mike Cook, CEO
of Identos, and John Roberts, associate deputy minister, chief digital
and data officer, chief privacy officer and archivist of Ontario.
Global ID claims 2 patents for vein biometrics systems, ramps up production capacity-Jul 13, 2023, 6:19 pm EDT-| Chris Burt
Biometrics
startup Global ID has been awarded a pair of patents for finger-vein
authentication systems and methods for enterprise access control. One
describes the storage of reference templates on user-held devices, and
the second a centralized system for using finger veins to unlock a
desktop.Swiss-based Global ID‘s first patent, US2023094432, describes
storing vein biometrics on the chip of an “electronic identity object,”
and then matched with a verification terminal, avoiding a centralized
database. The match would be carried out over an encrypted symmetric
data link, and would add layer of security and assurance to ID
credentials, without introducing the risk of creating a large store of
sensitive personal information.The second patent, US2023084042, is much
the same but with a biometric server performing the match as a way for
an organization to implement secure access control on a desktop
computer.CEO Lambert Sonna says the Global ID intends to create 100 jobs
by 2030 in an interview with Innosuisse, which supported the
development of its vein-scanning technology.Production capacity for the
miniaturized VenoScanner, development of which was supported by the
Idiap Research Institute, EPFL LASEC and HES-SO Valais university, is up
to 1,000 units per month.Sonna is reportedly now working on expanding
the range of applications for vein biometrics, including with palm
scanning at a distance.When last heard from, in October, Global ID said
it had created management software to provision and monitor the
company’s products (including its VenoScanner) distributed throughout an
enterprise.In June, the company announced that its VenoScanner was in
production. The devices are small and look like booth giveaways at a
conference. Sonna says miniaturization was the biggest challenge the
company faced in product development.

shall be performed against Babylon,(AMERICA-NEW YORK) to make the land
of Babylon (AMERICA) a desolation without an inhabitant.

EZEKIEL 38:1-23
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
4
And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will
bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them
clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and
shields, all of them handling swords:
5 Persia,(IRAN,IRAQ) Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6
Gomer,(GERMANY) and all his bands; the house of Togarmah (TURKEY) of
the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with
thee.(AFRICAN MUSLIMS,SUDAN,TUNESIA ETC)
7 Be thou prepared, and
prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto
thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be
visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is
brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against
the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is
brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of
them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a
cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with
thee.
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that
at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think
an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of
unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell
safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor
gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand
upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people
that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and
goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
13 Sheba, and Dedan, and
the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say
unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company
to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and
goods, to take a great spoil?(OIL IS IN SPOIL-I BELIEVE THATS WHY
RUSSIA,ARAB/MUSLIMS MARCH TO ISRAEL)
14 Therefore, son of man,
prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my
people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?
15 And
thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many
people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a
mighty army:
16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel,
as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I
will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I
shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
17 Thus saith
the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my
servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many
years that I would bring thee against them?
18 And it shall come to
pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel,
saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face.
19 For in
my jealousy and in the fire (atomic bomb) of my wrath have I spoken,
Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
20
So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the
beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth,
and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my
presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places
shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
21 And I will
call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord
GOD: every man’s sword shall be against his brother.
22 And I will
plead against him with pestilence (biological,chemical,nuclear) and with
blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many
people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones,
fire, and brimstone.(NUKED,THEN MIGRATING BIRDS EAT RUSSIA/ARAB/MUSLIMS

EZEKIEL 39:1-29
1 Therefore, thou son of man,
prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am
against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
2 And I
will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee,(300 MILIION
RUSSIA-ARAB-MUSLIMS GET NUKED BY ISRAEL) and will cause thee to come up
from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
4
Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou,(RUSSIA) and all thy
bands,(RUSSIA SUPPORTED WITH WEAPONS-ARAB/MUSLIM COUNTRIES) and the
people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of
every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
6
And I will send a fire (ATOMIC BOMB) on Magog, and among them that
dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
7
So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and
I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen
shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
8 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken.
9
And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall
set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the
bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall
burn them with fire seven years:
10 So that they shall take no wood
out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they
shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that
spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord GOD.
11
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a
place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the
east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and
there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it
The valley of Hamongog.
12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.
13
Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to
them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD.
14
And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through
the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of
the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they
search.
15 And the passengers that pass through the land, when any
seeth a man’s bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers
have buried it in the valley of Hamongog.
16 And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.
17
And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every
feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves,
and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do
sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel,
that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.
18 Ye shall eat the flesh of
the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams,
of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
19 And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
20 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD.
21
And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall
see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon
them.
22 So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward.
23
And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity
for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I
my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so
fell they all by the sword.
24 According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.
25
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity
of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be
jealous for my holy name;
26 After that they have borne their shame,
and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when
they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid.
27 When I
have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their
enemies’ lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;
28
Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to
be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto
their own land, and have left none of them any more there.
29
Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my
spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.

Cypriot probe backs Mossad on
Iranian plot to kill Israelis on Island — official-Police found hit
list with at least one name, tracked Iranian suspect as he tried to set
up a base for attacks in Turkish north, where Cypriot authorities are
largely powerless-By Agencies and ToI Staff-JUL 14,23-Today, 8:13 pm
NICOSIA,
Cyprus — Cyprus police investigations support claims by the Mossad spy
agency that an Iranian-backed hit squad planned to kill Israelis and
other Jews in the east Mediterranean island nation, an official said
Friday.The intelligence official told The Associated Press that Cypriot
police had tracked an Iranian national identified as Yousef Shahbazi
Abbasalilo following information from “friendly intelligence services.
”Subsequent probes into his activities indicated there was a plot for
such killings, with at least one person on a hit list, the official
said, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the
investigations.According to the official, Abbasalilo initially attempted
to set up a base and recruit others in the ethnically divided island’s
breakaway Turkish Cypriot north, where Cyprus’s internationally
recognized authorities have no access. Cyprus was split in 1974 when
Turkey invaded following a coup by supporters of union with Greece. No
country recognizes a Turkish Cypriot declaration of independence apart
from Turkey, which maintains 35,000 troops in the island’s northern
third.The fact that the breakaway north isn’t a part of the
international legal order is a concern for domestic and foreign security
services, according to the intelligence official.Cypriot authorities
were on Abbasalilo’s trail in the island’s southern part when he snuck
into the north through a crossing point along the 180-kilometer
(120-mile) United Nations-controlled buffer zone. Turkish Cypriot
authorities then identified him as a potential security risk and
deported him to Iran.The intelligence official’s remarks marked the
first time that Cyprus officials have spoken about the case.The Mossad
said last month said that its agents inside Iran seized Abbasalilo who
allegedly gave investigators a detailed “confession.” Released footage
showed Abbasalilo saying on camera that he received his orders from
Iran’s powerful paramilitary Revolutionary Guard Corps.Abbasalilo also
said that he had scoped the target and taken photos of the target’s home
in Cyprus before fleeing the island. It was not clear if the man spoke
under duress.The information obtained from Abbasalilo led to the
dismantling of the rest of the terror cell by Cypriot security forces,
the Mossad said. The plotters included Iranians, Pakistanis and
locals.An unconfirmed report from Israel’s Channel 12 news last month
claimed the targets of the Cyprus plot included an Israeli real estate
businessman and a Chabad House, as well as hotels and entertainment
venues frequented by Israeli tourists.Israel considers Iran its greatest
enemy, citing the Iranian government’s calls for Israel’s destruction
and support for hostile militant groups. It also accuses Iran of trying
to develop a nuclear bomb — a claim that Iran denies.Recent years have
seen several foiled Iranian attempts to kill Israelis in Cyprus, Turkey,
Georgia and Greece. The Times of Israel has been told that other
attacks have been thwarted without the matter reaching the
media.Israel’s National Security Council warned earlier this year that
Cyprus and Greece are countries where Iran is likely to target Jews and
Israelis. The countries are popular destinations for Israeli tourists,
in addition to having relatively sizable expat communities.An Azeri man
holding a Russian passport is on trial in Cyprus, a close Israeli ally,
on suspicion that he planned to carry out the contract killings of
Israelis living in Cyprus.The Azeri man also used a similar plan of
action as Abbasalilo, the intelligence official said.Times of Israel
staff contributed to this report.
Hezbollah members seen stealing
Israeli surveillance tech from border tower-Military says suspects
posed no threat to residents of nearby town of Metula; incident
Wednesday is latest in series of terror group ‘provocations’By Emanuel
Fabian-JUL 14,23-Today, 6:25 pm
Hezbollah activists climbed an
Israeli military tower on the border and stole surveillance equipment,
new footage from a Wednesday flareup along the frontier showed.Images
and videos posted to social media on Wednesday and Thursday showed a
number of men climbing on a surveillance structure, which Israel
maintains is on its side of the border, placing flags, and tearing down
military cameras, which they carry off intact.The Israel Defense Forces
said in a statement Thursday that a number of suspects climbed on the
security barrier near the northern town of Metula, “while trying to
carry out provocations toward IDF forces and sabotage infrastructure in
the area.”The IDF said the suspects did not cross into Israeli territory
and were not a threat to residents of the area.The IDF said the flags
were later removed from the tower by military sappers.It was unclear if
the cameras stolen by the Hezbollah activists contain sensitive spy
technology.A picture posted by a Hezbollah-affiliated correspondent
Friday showed the tower emptied of any equipment. It was unclear if the
cameras had been removed by Hezbollah or Israel.The incident came hours
after Hezbollah members attempted to damage Israel’s border fence with
Lebanon in another area. The IDF detonated a non-lethal explosive charge
in the area, lightly wounding three of the Hezbollah members.Israeli
forces also fired warning shots at a group of Hezbollah activists who
launched fireworks and set fires near Metula earlier on Wednesday,
during a protest to mark 17 years since the 2006 Second Lebanon
War.Meanwhile, on Friday, the IDF said troops again fired warning shots
and used riot dispersal means after a number of Lebanese suspects hurled
stones toward the border. The small group eventually left the area, a
military spokesperson said.The incidents appeared to be the latest in a
series of Hezbollah actions along the northern border that have raised
tensions in recent weeks.Two tents manned by armed Hezbollah members
were discovered in early June on Israeli territory north of the
internationally recognized border (the so-called Blue Line) in the
contested Mount Dov region, also known as the Shebaa Farms. One tent was
removed after Israel reportedly sent a message to Hezbollah threatening
an armed confrontation if it did not remove the outpost soon.Last week,
an anti-tank missile was fired from Lebanon at the contested village of
Ghajar, causing no injuries.In another incident last week, dozens of
Lebanese soldiers along with some Hezbollah members crossed into Israeli
territory without passing the border fence itself, before eventually
heading back, Army Radio reported.And last month, Hezbollah said it shot
down an Israeli drone flying over a village in southern Lebanon.The
boundary between Israel and Lebanon, known as the Blue Line, is marked
with blue barrels along the border and is several meters from the
Israeli fence in some areas, which Israel says is built entirely within
Israeli territory.The Mount Dov area was captured by Israel from Syria
during the 1967 Six Day War and later effectively annexed along with the
Golan Heights. The Lebanese government says the area belongs to
Lebanon.Israel has relayed requests via the UN to have the tents
removed, while in response, Lebanon and Hezbollah have demanded that
Israel withdraw from Ghajar in response to Israeli demands to move the
remaining tent.Ghajar, the only Alawite-majority settlement in Israel,
was part of the territory captured from Syria in 1967 and was
effectively annexed by Israel in 1981 together with the Golan
Heights.Following the Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon in 2000 and the
demarcation of the Blue Line, the village was split in two, with the
northern half coming officially under Lebanese control. Israel regained
control over the entire village during the Second Lebanon War in 2006,
and residents have repeatedly objected to the potential division of the
village and annexation of its northern half to Lebanon.The town remained
a closed military zone for more than two decades, with special
permission required for nonresidents seeking to enter or exit. In
September, with the construction of a barrier north of the village to
block the entrance from Lebanon, access restrictions were
lifted.Hezbollah has long been the IDF’s most potent adversary on
Israel’s borders, with an estimated arsenal of nearly 150,000 rockets
and missiles that can reach anywhere in Israel.Agencies contributed to
this report.

neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in

5 And to them it was given that they should not kill
them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment
was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.

The Canadian Press-2,000 evacuated in La Palma wildfire in
Spain's Canary Islands; official says blaze 'out of control'-Sat, July
15, 2023 at 3:20 p.m. EDT
BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — More than 2,000
people were evacuated as a wildfire rages “out of control” on La Palma
in Spain's Canary Islands on Saturday, destroying around a dozen homes,
authorities said.The blaze has affected an area of about 4,500 hectares
(11,000 acres) and officials warned residents that the situation could
worsen because a heat wave has made the terrain tinder-dry.“The fire has
spread very fast,” Canary Islands regional president Fernando Clavijo
said. “The fire is out of control.”He said that some residents didn't
want to abandon their homes, and he appealed for people to be
responsible and heed the calls for evacuation.Clavijo said that he was
very concerned about the possibility of shifting winds at night, saying
they could make the evacuation operation more dangerous. He said that 10
aircraft were battling the fire, and that water-dropping planes were
expected to arrive.The wildfire and evacuations come nearly two years
after a three-month volcanic eruption caused devastation on La Palma.
While nobody was killed, around 3,000 buildings were buried along with
many banana plantations, roads and irrigation systems.The fire is on the
western side of La Palma on wooded, hilly terrain dotted with homes.
It's not an area that was directly impacted by the 2021 volcanic
eruption.Puntagorda's mayor, Vicente Rodríguez, told Spanish public
broadcaster RTVE that the fire started inside the limits of his
municipality. He added that the area has seen below-average rainfall in
recent years, just like large parts of the drought-stricken mainland,
because of changing weather patterns impacted by climate change.The fire
coincides with a heat wave that is hitting southern Europe.Spain saw
record high temperatures in 2022 and this spring as it endures a
prolonged drought. Authorities and forestry experts are concerned that
the conditions are ripe for a difficult wildfire campaign after seeing
virulent fires as early as March.
The Canadian Press-B.C. wildfires on the rise amid drought, federal help on the way-Sat, July 15, 2023 at 4:44 p.m. EDT
The
number of wildfires in British Columbia continues to rise amid
persistent drought, and federal aid — including military resources — is
on the way.Bowinn Ma, B.C.'s minister of emergency management and
climate readiness, says federal personnel will work alongside about
2,000 crew members with the BC Wildfire Service as they fight about 370
blazes burning throughout the province.Canada's minister of emergency
preparedness, Bill Blair, announced the assistance on Friday after his
counterpart in B.C. made the request.The number of highly visible,
threatening or potentially damaging "wildfires of note" has ticked up to
20 from 17 on Friday.Maps from the BC Wildfire Service and Emergency
Management BC show around 70 wildfire-related evacuation alerts and
orders on Saturday.A wildfire burning about 50 kilometres north of Bella
Coola prompted an evacuation order Friday that covers several
recreational properties along a 20-kilometre stretch of the Dean River
as it runs through the Central Coast Regional District.Curtis
Slingerland, the chief administrative officer for the district, says the
fire is burning in a remote area and the district is in close contact
with the wildfire service.Slingerland says he drove from Bella Coola to
Salmon Arm on Friday and the skies were smoky for nearly the whole
840-kilometre route, starting at "the hill," a steep stretch of Highway
20 connecting Bella Coola with the rest of the province."The smoke
really kicked in at the top of the hill ... and then it continued all
the way into the Shuswap," a region in B.C.'s southern Interior,
Slingerland says.A special air quality statement from Environment Canada
warns of smoky skies spanning much of eastern B.C. from the Yukon
boundary to the Kootenays.B.C.'s drought bulletin shows nearly the whole
province is experiencing drought conditions of at least Level 3 of
five, with the Fort Nelson basin in the northeast, the Bulkley basin and
all of Vancouver Island classified at the most severe level.
Israelis
flock to national parks amid scorching heat-Temperatures reach over 104
degrees Fahrenheit in parts of the country, with heatwave expected to
continue for days-By ToI Staff and AFP-JUL 15,23-Today, 5:59 pm
Israelis
on Saturday flocked to nature reserves even as a blistering heatwave
settled over the region, with temperatures reaching 40 degrees Celsius
(104 degrees Fahrenheit) and above in some parts of the
country.According to the Israel Meteorological Service, temperatures
reached 33°C (91°F) in Jerusalem, while in Tel Aviv they were 30°C
(86°F). In the southern resort town of Eilat, the mercury hit 43°C
(109°F).The sweltering heat was expected to continue until Monday
evening, before slightly easing on Tuesday though remaining elevated for
days.The Nature and Parks Authority reported some 60,000 people visited
national parks and reserves, enjoying the country’s natural springs.The
most popular sites were Gan Hashlosha and Horshat Tal, which drew 3,100
and 2,400 visitors, respectively.Around 7,000 people also stayed at
camping grounds overnight. The sites with the most visitors were Achziv,
Horshat Tal, Ma’ayan Harod, Ashkelon and Eshkol.The Health Ministry has
warned the public, particularly the elderly and others whose health is
compromised, to avoid the heat and sun in the coming days as well as
physical exertion, and to remain in cooler environments and drink
water.The public has also been forbidden from starting fires in the open
due to an increased risk of out-of-control blazes.Record heat is also
forecast around the world from the United States, where tens of millions
are battling dangerously high temperatures, to Europe and Japan, in the
latest example of the threat from global warming.Italy faces weekend
predictions of historic highs with its health ministry issuing a red
alert for 16 cities including Rome, Bologna and Florence.The
meteorological center warned Italians to prepare for “the most intense
heatwave of the summer and also one of the most intense of all time.”The
thermometer is likely to hit 40°C (104°F) in Rome by Monday and even
43°C on Tuesday, smashing the record 40.5°C set in August 2007.The
islands of Sicily and Sardinia could wilt under temperatures as high as
48°C (118°F), the European Space Agency warned — “potentially the
hottest temperatures ever recorded in Europe.”Greece is also
roasting.“Parts of the country could see highs as much as 44°C (111°F)
on Saturday,” according to the national weather service EMY. The central
city of Thebes sweated under 44.2°C (112°F) on Friday.The Acropolis,
Athens’s top tourist attraction, closed for a second day straight
Saturday during the hottest hours with 41°C (106°F) expected, as did
several parks in the capital.Regions of France, Germany, Spain and
Poland are also baking in searing temperatures.Morocco may be used to
hot weather, but it was slated for above-average temperatures this
weekend with highs of 47°C (117°F) in some provinces — more typical of
August than July — sparking concerns for water shortages, the
meteorological service said.Water-scarce Jordan was forced to dump 214
tons (194,000kg) of water on a wildfire that broke out in the Ajloun
forest in the north amid a heatwave, the army said.In Iraq, where
scorching summers are common, along with power cuts, Wissam Abed told
AFP he cools off from Baghdad’s brutal summer by swimming in the Tigris
River.But as Iraqi rivers dry up, so does the age-old pastime.With
temperatures near 50°C (122°F) and wind whipping through the city like a
hair dryer, Abed stood in the middle of the river, but the water only
comes up to his waist.“I live here… like my grandfather did before me.
Year after year, the water situation gets worse,” said the
37-year-old.While it can be difficult to attribute a particular weather
event to climate change, scientists insist global warming — linked to
dependence on fossil fuels — is behind the multiplication and
intensification of heat waves in the world.The heatwaves come after the
EU’s climate monitoring service said the world saw its hottest June on
record last month.
Science-Jul 14, 2023 12:39 PM-Why Is Europe’s
Latest Heat Wave Called Cerberus? It’s Complicated-Cerberus, an
unofficial name for the current European heat wave, has gone viral—but
some meteorologists find it sensationalistic and worry it won't help
people take extreme weather seriously.
If you’re at all aware of
the heat wave baking southern Europe right now, you’ll have heard people
referring to it as “Cerberus”—a moniker that invokes the fearsome
three-headed dog of Greek mythology. In Dante’s Inferno and the classics
that inspired it, Cerberus is a monster associated with the
underworld.Multiple reports about the blistering heat wave, which has
pushed temperatures up to around 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees
Fahrenheit) in Spain, Italy, Greece, and other countries, have cited the
Italian Meteorological Society as the institution that chose the name
Cerberus for this dangerous weather event.But there’s a problem. The
society had nothing to do with the heat wave’s dramatic christening.
“The name is unofficial, and we absolutely don’t use it,” says Luca
Mercalli, the society’s president, adding that he finds it somewhat
sensationalistic.The name was actually chosen by Italian weather website
iLMeteo specifically for the anticyclone, or high-pressure region,
currently subjecting southern Europe to extreme heat—a fact confirmed to
WIRED by Antonio Sanò, iLMeteo’s founder.-Sanò shrugs off the
accusation that Cerberus could be considered histrionic. “Our names are
not official but always become quickly famous, thanks to our
popularity,” he says. iLMeteo’s habit of naming anticyclones after
mythological figures is the reason the heat wave that struck Europe in
2017 became widely referred to as Lucifer—a name for the planet Venus in
Roman folklore that also came to be used for the devil in Christian
tradition.The confusion over what to call 2023’s European heat wave
descends still deeper, like Dante’s many circles of hell, because in the
Spanish city of Seville, the heat wave has been dubbed Xenia. The
Adrienne Arsht-Rockefeller Foundation Resilience Center (Arsht-Rock), in
collaboration with the University of Seville and the City of Seville,
launched its own heat wave naming system last year. This is the third
time the organization has deployed it. The system runs in reverse
alphabetical order and uses recognizably Spanish names—but ones that are
not overly common, so as to keep them notable.And don’t forget that
Berliner Wetterkarte (a meteorological nonprofit) and the Free
University of Berlin have been naming high- and low-pressure weather
events in Europe since 1954. The anticyclone FEE is bringing sunny
weather to Germany at the moment, says Petra Gebauer, chair of Berliner
Wetterkarte. She explains that groups of meteorologists around Europe
sometimes give their own names to heat waves. “Actually, the
southeastern group has the name Cleon for the heat wave in Greece,” she
explains, adding that she hadn’t known how the name Cerberus emerged.The
plethora of sobriquets may seem peculiar, but this shouldn’t detract
from the danger posed by the present heat in southern Europe. On July
11, a man in his forties collapsed and died in Italy while working
outdoors, according to local media, and there have been multiple reports
of heatstroke in the country. In Spain, temperatures have hit 45
degrees Celsius in some places, and a new helpline for people affected
by heat has received 54,000 calls since it went live last month. Just
days ago, scientists published a study in which they estimated that
nearly 62,000 people died in Europe as a result of extreme summer heat
last year..The current heat wave in Italy is “very unusual,” says
Mercalli, because of its long duration: The heat event is expected to
last roughly two weeks. A study published in May estimated that, until
the late 1990s, the average European heat wave would last one week or
less, but this has since increased significantly due to global
warming.The sweltering conditions in the Mediterranean are coinciding
with extreme heat events elsewhere in the world, such as in the southern
US, where temperatures could reach 120 degrees Fahreheit in parts of
Arizona. Plus, the southern European heat wave is linked to the one
currently affecting Morocco and Algeria in North Africa. The countries
are feeling the force of the same anticyclone.Heat waves are deadly, but
meteorologists are not yet in agreement over whether we should give
them names and, if we do, whether we should choose especially emotive or
colorful ones, such as those from mythology.Someone who is unperturbed
by the choice of Cerberus, however, is Friederike Otto at Imperial
College London’s Grantham Institute for Climate Change and the
Environment.“I think they should have claimed it,” she jokes, referring
to the Italian Meteorological Society’s denial. But she argues a serious
point: People still underestimate the threat heat waves pose. As Otto
told WIRED last year before the extreme heat that claimed so many lives
in Europe, these weather events are often the most deadly of all, even
compared to large storms.“Cerberus … it’s the dog of hell, right? I
think that’s a pretty appropriate name for a heat wave,” says
Otto.Others aren’t so sure. Hannah Cloke at the University of Reading
agrees that heat waves are “silent killers,” and that people often fail
to take them as seriously as they should. However, freaking the public
out about weather events isn’t desirable, she says. On social media, it
is easy to find comments from people who are critical of the use of such
a scary name.“We’re going to run out of dangerous monsters quite
quickly,” says Cloke, arguing that people could become desensitized to
this approach. “In the longer term, it’s not ideal.” Simple names, such
as those used for storms, may be more useful in helping to raise
awareness about a weather event and conveying that protective action is
required, she adds.“We believe a heat wave needs branding and identity,”
says Kathy Baughman McLeod, director of Arsht-Rock, as she points out
that storms and floods are much more visually dramatic than heat events.
The World Meteorological Organization does not currently give official
names to heat waves, but Baughman McLeod and her colleagues hope that an
internationally recognized, and standardized, system will emerge in the
coming years. “That’s exactly our ambition,” she says. She declines to
comment on the suitability of Cerberus and notes that the name Xenia
applies to the heat wave only within the city of Seville.Her
organization determines whether a heat wave requires a name by using an
algorithm that takes into account daytime and nighttime temperatures,
cloud cover, humidity, and other factors. If the algorithm shows there
is a major risk to life, for example a potential 30 percent increase in
overall mortality, the heat wave gets a name, says Baughman McLeod.The
UK is not currently affected by the heat wave in southern Europe, notes
Stephen Dixon, a spokesperson for the UK Met Office. And as the name
Cerberus did not originate from a national Met service, “it’s not
something we’d refer to,” he says of the label. While the Met Office
does give monikers to major storms, it currently has no plans to name
heat waves. The UK Health Security Agency, in partnership with the Met
Office, conveys warnings through its heat-health alert service, with
four levels of severity, ranging from green to red. The latter indicates
“significant risk to life” and was in place for parts of the country
during last year’s extreme heat event.There are many things we can do to
mitigate the impact of dangerously hot weather, says Otto. These range
from regularly drinking water and checking in on elderly relatives to
rethinking urban planning. It’s remarkable how much cooler a street
planted with large trees can be on a sunny day, she notes as an
example—up to several degrees Celsius: “That makes a huge
difference.”Unfortunately, it is certain that we will face more, and
probably stronger, heat waves in the near future. “Climate science shows
us that that is what’s going to happen,” says Cloke.Baughman McLeod
adds that, with the right amount of preparedness, “no one has to die
from heat.”As we all do our best to cope with ferocious summer weather
whenever it comes our way, Sanò and his colleagues at iLMeteo will be
ready with an evocative list of names gleaned from millennia-old myths.
At the time of writing, the next anticyclone, expected in the coming
days, threatens to force temperatures to as high as 43 degrees Celsius
in Rome, which would be a record. In advance, iLMeteo has decided to
christen the incoming high-pressure event “Caronte,” or “Charon” after
the boatman who ferries souls to the Greek underworld, where only the
dead may enter.
BBC-US heatwave: Over 90 million people under heat advisories-Nadine Yousif - BBC News-Fri, July 14, 2023 at 1:49 p.m. EDT
Energy
consumption in Texas has surpassed records, as many in the state
scramble to stay cool.A blistering US heatwave is set to intensify, with
warnings issued across the southwest up to Washington state.Heat
advisories as of Friday are impacting at least 93 million Americans,
from Florida to Texas to California.In Texas, air conditioner use has
led the state to surpass its previous record for power consumption as
people try to keep cool.The NWS has cautioned that this intense July
heatwave could be dangerous.Around 27 million people will feel
temperatures over 110F (43C) in the coming days, the National Weather
Service (NWS) forecasted.The heat is a result of an upper level ridge of
high pressure, which typically brings with it warmer temperatures, the
NWS said.The agency added it is "one of the strongest" systems of its
kind that the region has ever seen."The subtropical ridge responsible
for this likely historic heatwave across the region is not showing signs
of letting up anytime soon," the NWS said.About 700 people are
estimated to die each year from heat-related causes in the US, according
to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Both Friday and
Saturday will be exceptionally hot, with daytime highs forecasted to hit
up to 115F (46C). For some areas, the scorching heat is expected to
linger until next week.The heatwave is impacting states that are
typically hot during the summer, but multiple regions are projected to
match or surpass their all-time high heat records.Las Vegas may match
its all-time high of 117F (47C) in the next few days, while Death
Valley, California - one of the hottest places on earth - could surpass
its official all-time high temperature of 130F (54C).Parts of the
southwestern US were already grappling with intensely hot temperatures
over the last week. In El Paso, Texas temperatures have been in the
triple-digits Fahrenheit for 27 consecutive days.Overnight temperatures
are expected to remain "abnormally warm" in some areas, offering little
night-time relief from the heat.Demand for power in the southern US
state has surpassed record numbers for two days in a row because of the
heat.The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ECROT), which manages
90% of the power load in Texas, said its usage hit a preliminary 81,406
megawatts on Thursday, topping Wednesday's record of 81,351
megawatts.ERCOT said it expects power usage on Friday to surpass those
numbers, though the agency said it has enough resources to meet the
demand.The US heatwave mirrors similar searing conditions in Europe,
which forced Greece to close one of its major tourist attractions, the
Acropolis, on Friday.Last week, the global average temperature was 63F
(17.23C), which is the highest ever recorded.Scientists say the
temperatures are being driven by climate change and the naturally
occurring weather pattern known as El Niño, which causes temperatures to
rise and happens every three to seven years.The world has already
warmed by about 1.1C since the industrial era began and temperatures
will keep rising unless governments around the world make steep cuts to
emissions.
Rescuers evacuate 14,000 people from flood-hit villages in eastern Pakistan-Fri, July 14, 2023 at 12:55 p.m. EDT
LAHORE,
Pakistan (AP) — Rescuers in boats evacuated 14,000 people over the past
several days after floodwaters from two rivers swollen by monsoon rains
inundated dozens of villages in eastern Pakistan, officials said
Friday.Monsoon rains began lashing the South Asian country in late June
and since then, at least 91 people have died in weather-related
incidents across the country.Mohsin Naqvi, a top official in eastern
Punjab province, tweeted Friday that he visited flood-hit areas. The
evacuations began earlier this week after neighboring India diverted
waters from dams into the Ravi River, which flows from India into
Pakistan. An overflowing Sutlej River has also inundated villages in
various parts of the province.According to the national weather agency,
rains will continue this week to lash the southwestern Baluchistan and
southern Sindh provinces, where thousands died in floods last summer.The
floods affected 33 million people and killed 1,739 in Pakistan. They
also caused $30 billion in damage to the country’s economy.The monsoon
season began in July and will continue until September.The Associated

The ongoing marine heat waves in U.S. waters, explained-July 14, 2023
NOAA
scientists have tracked a steady climb in ocean temperatures since
April 2023, which is causing unprecedented heat stress conditions in the
Caribbean Basin, including waters surrounding Florida and in the Gulf
of Mexico. More isolated marine heat wave conditions have been detected
off the Northeast U.S. coast, along the path of the Gulf Stream. NOAA
has also been monitoring a large marine heat wave in the Northeast
Pacific (in the Gulf of Alaska) that has been sitting offshore since
late 2022.As we gather more data about these events, NOAA scientists are
providing answers to big questions about marine heat waves:What are
marine heat waves? Marine heat waves are usually defined as any time the
ocean temperature is above the 90th percentile for a specific length of
time. This means that the temperatures are warmer than 90% of the
previous observations for a given time of year. Marine heat waves can
last for weeks, months or years. Marine heat wave conditions are
monitored by NOAA’s Physical Sciences Laboratory (PSL) and NOAA Coral
Reef Watch.How are marine heat wave observations and measurements made?
The National Weather Service’s National Data Buoy Center collects and
disseminates real-time quality-controlled marine observations using
1,300 weather observing stations. Global ocean surface temperatures are
also monitored daily using blended satellite measurements.Why is this
marine heat wave in South Florida significant? In the last week (as of
this writing), water temperatures throughout the Gulf of Mexico and in
the Caribbean Sea have been approximately 1.8-5.4°F (1-3°C) warmer than
normal. Temperatures around Southern Florida are the warmest on record
(going back to 1981). The latest conditions can be seen on the NOAA PSL
Map Room webpage.Given that we are in the thick of the Atlantic
hurricane season and the tropical North Atlantic is already warm,
extremely warm ocean temperatures in the Caribbean and the Gulf of
Mexico are concerning. Developing tropical storms that pass into the
region may strengthen as a result of these conditions. The ongoing
marine heat wave in South Florida could impact sensitive marine
ecosystems in the region, such as shallow water corals.How long has the
marine heat wave been going on? How long will this heat wave last? The
current Gulf of Mexico marine heat wave has been present for several
months, beginning in February/March of 2023. NOAA’s experimental marine
heat wave forecasts indicate a 70-100% chance that extreme ocean
temperatures will persist in the southern Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean
Sea through at least October 2023. We have low-to-medium confidence in
this prediction given the historical skill of the forecasting system in
these regions.What role does climate change play in this marine heat
wave off Florida?The ocean absorbs 90% of the excess heat associated
with global warming. As a result, we know that marine heat waves all
over the planet are becoming warmer over time. The absolute temperature
of the current event is warmer because of climate change, but it would
have likely still occurred without climate change. Warming trends also
impact our marine heat wave prediction systems, typically by increasing
the probability of marine heat waves in our forecasts. How are corals
and marine ecosystems impacted by marine heat waves? Marine heat waves
cause stress to corals and other marine ecosystems. Exposure to extreme
temperature for long periods of time causes a breakdown in the
relationship between coral and the algae that live inside of them. The
coral is left pale or white, i.e., bleached. The lack of food from the
algae can lead to the death of the coral. If the heat stress does not
subside, the coral will die. Mortality becomes likely if the corals
experience ocean temperatures of 1°C greater than the historical maximum
monthly average for two months, or 2°C greater than the historical
maximum monthly average for one month.How does NOAA anticipate these
marine heat waves may impact fisheries and ecosystems? Extreme heat can
be destructive and deadly for marine systems. An unprecedented marine
heat wave known as “the Blob” dominated the northeastern Pacific from
2013 to 2016, and upended ecosystems across a huge swath of the Pacific
Ocean. This led to an ecological cascade, causing fishery collapses and
fishery disaster determinations. “The Blob” caused whales’ prey to be
concentrated unusually close to shore, and a severe bloom of toxic algae
along the coast delayed opening of the valuable Dungeness crab fishery.
Humpback whales moved closer to shore to feed in some of the same
waters targeted by the crab fishery, resulting in a then-record 53 whale
entanglements in 2015 and 55 in 2016.
Global heat in ‘uncharted
territory’ as scientists warn 2023 could be the hottest year on
record-By Laura Paddison, CNN-Published 4:05 AM EDT, Sat July 8, 2023
CNN
— The world is blasting through climate records as scientists sound the
alarm: The likelihood is growing that 2023 could be the hottest year on
record, and the climate crisis could be altering our weather in ways
they don’t yet understand.And they are not holding back –
“extraordinary,” “terrifying” and “uncharted territory” are just a few
of the ways they have described the recent spike in global
temperature.This week, the planet’s average daily temperature soared to
highs unseen in modern records kept by two climate agencies in the US
and Europe.While the records are based on data that only goes back to
the mid-20th century, they are “almost certainly” the warmest the planet
has seen over a much longer time period – “probably going back at least
100,000 years,” according to Jennifer Francis, a senior scientist at
Woodwell Climate Research Center.And they were far from the only climate
superlatives scientists have reported this year.Last month, the world
experienced its warmest June on record by a “substantial margin,”
according to a report by the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change
Service.Ocean heat has been off the charts, with surface temperatures
last month reaching record levels for June. Parts of the North Atlantic
have seen an “unprecedented” marine heat wave, with temperatures up to 5
degrees Celsius (9 degrees Fahrenheit) hotter than usual.And in
Antarctica, where temperatures are running well-above average for this
time of year, sea ice plunged to record low levels, which scientists
have linked to the warm waters off the Indian, Pacific and Atlantic
Oceans.The world is “walking into an uncharted territory,” Carlo
Buontempo, the director of Copernicus, told CNN. “We have never seen
anything like this in our life.”This is what global warming looks
like-(NO ITS WHAT WORLD JUDGEMENT BECAUSE OF SINS LOOKS LIKE)(NOT NO
BANK SCAM GLOBAL WARMING FRAUD)-While scientists say the records are
alarming, most are unsurprised – though frustrated their warnings have
been mostly ignored for decades.“This is exactly what we’ve been
expecting to see for a long time,” Francis told CNN.What the world is
experiencing are the impacts of global warming combined with the El Niño
climate phenomenon – the arrival of which the World Meteorological
Organization officially confirmed on Wednesday.It works like this: As
the world burns fossil fuels and pumps out planet-heating pollution,
global temperatures are steadily warming. That leads to more intense
heat waves along with a host of other impacts, such as more extreme
weather, melting glaciers and rising sea levels.Superimposed on top of
these long-term warming trends are natural climate fluctuations, the
most significant of which are La Niña, which has a cooling effect, and
El Niño, which has a heating effect.“So we have a naturally warm world
plus the increasingly hot climate change signal,” said Friederike Otto,
senior lecturer in climate science at the Grantham Institute for Climate
Change and the Environment in the UK.While the record temperatures may
have been expected, the magnitude by which some have been broken has
surprised some scientists.That this June was half a degree warmer than a
typical June “is just extraordinary” for a global temperature record,
said Buontempo. Usually these records – which are averages of
temperatures all over the world for the entire month – are broken by a
tenth or even hundredth of a degree.Still others have been caught off
guard by the nature of extreme weather events.“We were expecting to see
more and more frequent heat waves and floods and droughts around the
world. But it’s the intensity of some of those events that is a bit
surprising,” said Peter Stott, a science fellow in climate attribution
at the UK’s Met Office.There’s “an increasing worry that climate change
is not quite as linear as we might have thought,” he told CNN.
Scientists are trying to work out if weather patterns themselves might
be changing, making heat waves much more intense than climate models
predict.-Shaping up for the hottest year on record-While scientists
cannot yet be definitive, some say this year is at least on pace to
become the warmest on record.The stars are aligning for the record to
fall. Historically, global heat records tend to topple in El Niño years,
and the current record-holder, 2016, coincided with a strong El Niño.In
May, a Berkeley Earth analysis put the chances of 2023 being the
hottest on record at 54%. As last month turned out to be the hottest
June on record, that percentage is going to increase, said Robert Rohde,
a lead scientist at Berkeley Earth.By how much remains uncertain, he
told CNN, “but it’s looking more likely than not that 2023 will be a
record year.”Records are how the world keeps tabs on the climate crisis.
Yet some scientists caution the attention given to these big numbers
can overshadow the real-world hazards they amplify: Heat waves, floods
and droughts becoming much more frequent, severe and long-lasting as the
Earth heats up.“It’s quite frustrating,” Otto said. The world gets hung
up on blockbuster records but “these heat records are not exciting
numbers,” she told CNN. “They mean that people and ecosystems are dying,
that people are losing their livelihoods, that agricultural land will
be unusable.”The human impact of extreme weather this year has already
been stark.At the end of June, Texas and the South sweltered in a triple
digit heat wave with extreme humidity that made temperatures feel even
hotter and made it harder for bodies to cool themselves. The heat
extended to Mexico, where extreme temperatures killed at least 112
people between March and the end of June.China has been grappling with
blistering temperatures for weeks. Beijing, which is facing one of its
most brutal heat waves on record, saw temperatures soar past 40 degrees
Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) this week.In India, parts of the north
have been struggling with unrelenting heat, while nearly half a million
in the country’s northeast have been affected by severe flooding that
has triggered devastating landslides which have taken lives.“All of
these kinds of extreme events are absolutely consistent with what we
expect to see happening more often as we just continue to warm the
globe,” Francis said.And as El Niño strengthens, we’re likely to see
more extreme weather, she added, not just in the summer but also in the
winter, when El Niños have the biggest influence on Northern Hemisphere
weather.“I’d say buckle up.”Unheeded warnings-For climate scientists,
this is the “I told you so” moment they never wanted.“This needn’t have
been happening,” Stott said.For decades, scientists have been warning
about what would happen to global temperatures if the world failed to
kick its fossil fuel habit and rein in planet-heating pollution. But
they went unheeded, he said.To see climate change unfold in front of us
“is terrifying,” he added, because “this will just carry on getting
worse and worse, and more and more extreme. So what we’re seeing now is
only a foretaste of what could happen if efforts to reduce emissions
aren’t successful.”The only silver lining may be the records help raise
alarm bells and persuade people to pressure political leaders to act,
Otto said. “??I hope that maybe more people will realize that this is
really happening, and it’s really dangerous.”

Network-Warm, muggy Saturday could fuel severe storms across
Ontario-Digital WritersThe Weather Network-Published on Jul. 14, 2023,

Plenty of warm air and humidity will fuel a risk for
strong to severe thunderstorms over parts of southern Ontario through
Saturday-It wouldn’t be the heart of summer in southern Ontario without
muggy heat fuelling a risk for daytime thunderstorms. We saw a cluster
of severe thunderstorms roll over southwestern Ontario on Friday
afternoon, and much of the region will see another potential for severe
weather on Saturday.A few of Saturday’s storms could pack the risk for
strong winds and large hail. Heavy rainfall is an ever-present hazard
when it’s this humid outside, so remain mindful of localized flooding
and standing water on roadways. Saturday-Areas: Portions of southern and
northern Ontario-Timing: Through the afternoon and evening
hours-Weather: An upper-level trough lingering over Ontario and the
Great Lakes will provide the spark needed for thunderstorms to develop
to kick off the weekend.Scattered thunderstorms are possible across much
of Ontario on Saturday, fuelled by daytime heating and ample humidity
parked over the region.ONSaturday-The strongest storms could approach
severe limits, especially across southern Ontario, including much of the
Greater Toronto Area and extending north into portions of cottage
country. Additional severe storms are possible in northeastern sections
of the province toward Timmins and Moosonee.However, unlike Friday,
forecasters have lower confidence in where these stronger storms could
develop. Not all of the storms will reach severe limits, but those that
do grow more intense could produce strong wind gusts, large hail, and
heavy rainfall.Conditions on Saturday won’t be anywhere near as bad as
what folks in eastern Ontario and southern Quebec saw on Thursday, but
even the severe hazards and lightning of one thunderstorm is dangerous
to any community in its path.Pay close attention to warnings in your
area and prepare to seek shelter immediately if hazardous weather
threatens.The storm activity should simmer down around sunset as we lose
the heat of the day.Prepare-Keep The Weather Network’s app handy on
your phone to peek at the radar and keep up with watches and warnings as
the day progresses.Stay close to a safe shelter in case storms threaten
your location. And remember, the greatest danger in any thunderstorm is
lightning. If you can hear thunder, you’re close enough to be struck by
lightning.

Several rounds of
intense thunderstorms swept across parts of eastern Ontario and southern
Quebec through the day Thursday, prompting widespread tornado warnings
throughout the region.After starting with heavy rain and strong
thunderstorms across southwestern Ontario early Thursday, eastern
Ontario took the brunt of the severe weather, with Environment and
Climate Change Canada (ECCC) confirming at least one tornado in
Barrhaven, south of Ottawa. A survey team deployed to the area will
perform an assessment of the damage on Friday."Damage reported included
roof damage, broken windows, power and utility outages as well as damage
to trees," ECCC said. "At this time the damage reported seems to be
western portions of Barrhaven. "According to city officials, the tornado
left at least 125 homes damaged.Despite the damage, only one minor
injury was reported, Ottawa paramedics said via CBC News. The city set
up a family reunification centre at the Minto Recreation Complex at 3500
Cambrian Rd. for families that needed a place to stay for up to 72
hours.The storm continued to push east through the afternoon, where wind
damage, power outages, and localized flooding were reported in southern
Quebec.Hydro Quebec reported more than 490,000 customers were without
power at 3:20 p.m. local time, though some of those were due to
protection mechanisms linked to the forest fires in the Baie-James area
that had interrupted three transportation lines."We are currently
working on bringing back the power on those lines," said the
agency.Check out photos and videos of Thursday’s storms taken by folks
in the area, below:Damage photos from Barrhaven via Laurie Gillespie on

Power outages persist in the
Montreal area nearly 48 hours after severe thunderstorms ripped through
southern Quebec, downing trees, snapping poles and breaking
wires.Hydro-Quebec reports over 20,000 customers are still without power
as of Saturday morning, down from a Thursday evening peak of more than
300,000, with most remaining outages in the regions to the north and
south of Montreal.The utility company says it has restored service to
95% of customers affected by the storm, but work to repair the
electricity network in some isolated areas could last until the
beginning of next week.Hydro-Quebec says 8% of the almost 500 remaining
outages affect 50 customers or fewer.It says more than 300 outages have
lasted more than 24 hours.Thursday's storm also caused localized
flooding in Montreal, where a city spokesperson said some neighbourhoods
received a month's worth of rain in less than two hours.This report by

military resources are being mobilized to help British Columbia’s fight
against hundreds of wildfires.Blair said on Twitter that he approved a
request for federal assistance to aid firefighters and emergency
management personnel who are “working tirelessly” in B.C.He added the
assistance will come from across federal departments and the Canadian

@CanadianForces. — Bill Blair (@BillBlair) July 14, 2023-More than 350
wildfires are burning across the province as of Friday, according to the
B.C. Wildfire Service.Bowinn Ma, B.C.’s minister of emergency
management and climate readiness, confirmed Thursday she had sent a
formal request to Blair for more federal resources to help fight the
fires.She said at a briefing about drought conditions in B.C. that she
had also requested 1,000 additional foreign firefighters to join 160
from Mexico and the United States already in the province.Ma said that
an “incident management team” from Australia was due to arrive on
Saturday.Firefighters from South Korea, France, South Africa and the
Dominican Republic have also been fighting fires in Canada, during what
is shaping up as a record-breaking fire season.The B.C. Wildfire Service
says more than 2,000 local firefighters are currently on the ground
battling the flames across the province.Ma’s request for more
international help was lodged through the Canadian Interagency Forest
Fire Centre, which co-ordinates firefighting resources across the
country.Premier David Eby said earlier this week the province was
looking for more firefighting support, particularly air equipment, in
its battle against wildfires.He said forecasts suggest B.C. and Canada
could be facing the worst fire season in 100 years.Eby expressed
gratitude for the help provided by the firefighters from Mexico and the
U.S. who are on the frontlines with provincial crews.Blair’s
announcement came a day after a 19-year-old firefighter was killed by a
fallen tree while battling a wildfire near Revelstoke, B.C.—With files

18 For the wrath of God is revealed
from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who
hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are
clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his
eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither
were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish
heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like

queens compete for top prize in Nicaragua pageant-Mix Imperial Central

MANAGUA (Reuters) - In a packed bar in
Nicaragua's capital, Managua, on Friday night, more than 1,000 people
gathered to see a group of drag queens battle it out to snatch the crown
for best performance while representing several Central American
countries.The Mix Imperial Central American Tropical Drag Royale
provided a stage for drag performers in a region where LGBT people often
face discrimination and economic hardship."It's a form of catharsis,"
said Alexa Evangelista, a drag queen from El Salvador and one of the
night's performers, who lip-synched and danced for the adoring crowd.A
jury of the three finalists from the Royale's first edition in 2019
crowned the winner, taking in to account the audience's support."This
type of platform gives visibility to queer artists that we don't have in
our countries in Central America, where we lack institutional and
government support," Evangelista said.Drag queen Peppe Pig said the
pageant gave her the opportunity to travel outside her home country of
Guatemala, and that drag has helped her meet new friends and her current
partner."Drag has really opened so many doors."Nicaraguan drag queen
Akeyra Davenport took home the night's crown in her first competition
after 11 years as a drag artist."It gives me the initiative to keep
moving forward, to continue pursuing one of many dreams that have left
me behind," she said.(Reporting by Maynor Valenzuela in Managua; Writing
