The Americans three group stage matches at the Women’s World Cup had an average combined English- and Spanish-language audience of of 5,256,000.Trying to replicate that over the next four matches will be a difficult task.With its second-place finish in Group E, the remaining U.S. matches will take place overnight. Had the Americans won the group, its round of 16 and quarterfinal matches would have been in prime time.Australia and New Zealand are 14-16 hours ahead of New York and 17-19 hours ahead of Los Angeles.“We knew that there was no flexibility in making changes to the schedule for the knockout rounds.

It appears that many people still don’t want to head back to the office, and some employers are losing their workers as a result.A recent survey from Unispace, a company that designs and builds workspaces, found that 42% of companies that implemented return-to-office policies have seen higher levels of employee attrition than they had planned for.“I don’t think we’re ever going back to the way we were,” said Kathleen Quinn Votaw, a recruitment and retention specialist. “You can’t put the genie back in the bottle.”Quinn Votaw literally wrote the book on the issue, called “Dare to Care in the Workplace: A Guide to the New Way We Work.”“This was a problem before the pandemic, but it just got blown way out of the stratosphere when we hit the pandemic because people realized they could have a different kind of life,” Quinn Votaw said.The Unispace survey found that employees put a premium on productivity and personal ...Police searching for gunmen accused of shooting two Orlando officers

U.S. bank JPMorgan has stopped processing payments for the Russian Agricultural Bank, Russia’s Foreign Ministry said on Friday.The Russian Agricultural Bank, or Rosselkhozbank, was cut off from the SWIFT international payments system by the European Union last year following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. According to Reuters, JPMorgan had been handling some Russian grain export payments in recent months.“The Western capitals and the U.N. tried to present the direct channel established between Rosselkhozbank and American JPMorgan as an alternative to [the SWIFT system], but even this channel was cut off on August 2,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said in a statement.The U.S. State Department and JPMorgan did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — One person died and more than 100 had to be rescued after a ferry in the central Philippines struck floating debris at sea and took on water Saturday, police said. The accident involving the King Sto. Nino 7, which was carrying 117 people, was the third to hit the country in just over a week, police said.All those on board were rescued, except for a female passenger who suffered a heart attack and died during the scramble for safety as water gushed into the wooden-hulled vessel in sunny weather off the island town of Corcuera in Romblon province, officials said.Sea accidents are common in the Philippines because of frequent storms, poorly maintained boats, overcrowding and weak enforcement of safety regulations. After some passengers on the King Sto. Nino 7 managed to call for help, coast guard personnel and nearby ferry boats approached to rescue the 112 passengers and five crew members, who were brought to a nearby village, Corcuera police chief Capt.

MONTREAL — A charity that advocates for water safety is calling on the Quebec government to offer swimming lessons more widely — especially to recent immigrants — as drownings in the province are up 30 per cent over the same period last year.It has been a particularly deadly year on the water in Quebec, where more than a third of all drownings reported in Canada in 2023 have occurred. Quebec has reported 54 drownings so far in 2023, but this year’s number has been inflated by a few incidents that resulted in multiple deaths.Raynald Hawkins, general manager of the Lifesaving Society’s Quebec branch, says the Swim to Survive program — delivered by his charity — should be offered to kids in grades 3 and 4 more widely in Quebec. In Ontario, approximately 100,000 kids take part in the program yearly; in Quebec, between 12,000 and 15,000 take part every year.The Quebec Education Department offers a grant for schools interested in the program, which teaches kids minimum skills ...Perseid meteor shower viewing parties are set across Minnesota next week

Many of the events include daytime presentations, discussions on astronomy books and films as well as telescopes and binoculars on-site for after-sunset sky watching.The events are hosted by schools, nature centers, colleges, libraries, museums, parks and other local organizations.
