(AP) — Trying to upset President Joe Biden in New Hampshire's primary, Democratic challenger Dean Phillips is running a TV ad across the state comparing him to Bigfoot — the argument being both are hard to find. "So I challenged myself to find President Biden in New Hampshire during this primary season.

CNN —The 2023 Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to a team of scientists who created a ground-breaking technique using lasers to understand the extremely rapid movements of electrons, which were previously thought impossible to follow. “An attosecond is to one second as one second is to the age of the universe,” the committee explained. Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L'Huillier shared this year's physics prize. Rapid movements blur together, making extremely short events impossible to observe. Electrons’ movements in atoms and molecules are so rapid that they are measured in attoseconds.

☆ Regulators tighten screw on investment fund redemptions
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-05 | by ( Huw Jones | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +3 min

Central banks had to inject liquidity into markets in March 2020 during COVID-19 lockdowns as money market funds struggled in the face of a "dash for cash" to meet promises of daily redemptions. Property funds aimed at retail investors have also been offering daily redemptions and some have faced multiple suspensions in recent years due to market turbulence. For funds that invest over 50% in liquid assets, daily dealing would remain appropriate. Funds that invest mainly in less liquid assets could still offer daily redemptions if they can show regulators an ability to use specified "anti-dilution" liquidity management tools (LMTs), or else they must tighten redemption terms, the FSB said. LMTs include being able to deduct a fee from redemptions to end "first-mover advantage", or investors who rush for the exits leaving those remaining worse off.

Mr. Moloney was also charged with taking part in an assault on an Associated Press photographer, John Minchillo, whom several rioters accused of being a member of the leftist movement antifa. In a separate attack, prosecutors say, Mr. Moloney yanked the camera of another photographer and caused him to stumble down the stairs as well. Several other rioters have been charged with attacking Mr. Minchillo, including a Pennsylvania man, Alan W. Byerly, who was sentenced in October to 34 months in prison. Another man who has admitted to joining in the assault, Rodney K. Milstreed, is set to be sentenced next month. In a Facebook post a few days after the assault, Mr. Milstreed said that attacking Mr. Michillo was “worth it,” adding that he had “hit him with everything god give.”

Britain's cardiology departments are a microcosm of the problems that have spread through the system. In November, around 8,000 people like Cogan had been waiting more than a year for heart treatment, up from a couple of dozen pre-pandemic. Reuters GraphicsTeams were still trying to restore cardiac services to pre-pandemic levels, NHS England said. Pandemic disruptions to diagnosis and treatment, in addition to delays in emergency care, had an outsized impact on cardiological care, she said. On one visit to his local Colchester hospital, staff could not find a working ECG machine to read his heart's electrical activity when he felt a twinge.

He said she didn't help the party enough, an allegation she denies. Moloney was asked by The New York Times on Thursday who was to blame for their party's poor performance. The Times' question related to criticism that Ocasio-Cortez gave of the New York Democratic party on Thursday, also to The Times. She also said the party was fractured there: "Not once has the New York State Democratic chair ever called me. Didn't do anything for our frontline candidates except give them money when they didn't want it from her."
