Attendees introduced themselves. Approval of Minutes Council member John Moore motioned to approve the January 9, 2019 minutes, seconded by Council member Michael Kirkman. Motion carried. Due Process Hearing Decisions Assistant Chief Legal Counsel Emily Blair stated appeal rights are provided to consumers. Vocational Rehabilitation Counselors are provided training on how and when to provide appeal rights during the vocational rehabilitation process, which is consistent with federal regulations. Information regarding appeal rights is provided at the time the individual applies for services; at the time an individual is assigned a category in the order of selection should Ohio be operating under one at the time; at the time the individualized plan for employment is developed; or whenever vocational rehabilitation services for an individual are reduced, suspended or terminated. OOD provides an appeal process overview on its website. The process explains an individual's' appeal rights and how they can appeal with OOD. The appeal form is provided to the individual to assist them in making their appeal. OOD reports its data to the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) on a federal fiscal year (FFY) cycle (October 1 through September 30). For FFY 2018, OOD received 48 new requests for a formal hearing. OOD carried over 13 unresolved requests for formal hearings from FFY 2017, which totaled 61 requests for impartial hearings for FFY 2018. In addition, 46 of the 61 requests were resolved prior to proceeding to an impartial hearing. Of the 61 requests in 2018, 53 were resolved. There are eight requests pending and will be carried over to FFY 2019 at the time the report is filed with RSA. In addition, 33 of the 61 requests received for FFY 2018 were for a formal hearing over the termination of services or case closure. Seventeen of those requests were for the cost of services, and seven of the 61 requests were for a formal hearing for the nature, scope, and content of the Individualized Plan for Employment. Also, two requests were for the delivery of quality of other VR services, one request for the quality of the counseling services, and one request for eligibility of services. There was one pending civil case regarding a VR appeal, which was resolved in 2018. Council member Michael Kirkman asked about requests for mediation. Ms. Blair responded there was one request for mediation. When the agency declines to mediate, it moves forward to a formal hearing. Council member Matthew Sauer asked if a consumer who had difficulty filling out the forms for an appeal, is it the obligation of OOD to provide the accommodation or is the obligation on the consumer to find the accommodation. Ms. Blair responded, the consumer would be referred to the Client Assistance Program to receive assistance. Mr. Kirkman stated the Client Assistance Program would be happy to assist. But the obligation is on behalf of the agency to provide accommodations and to effectively communicate with the recipient or applicant. It is in law. The agency does not need to fill out the form for the individual, but the agency needs to make the form accessible. In addition, Mr. Kirkman stated his observation over the years, is that the appeal process for OOD is far more complex and burdensome than is done in other states. The Attorney General represents OOD. It is a very cumbersome process for consumers. Other states do not have such a formal process and it is not required by the Rehabilitation Act. This is something the Council might want to take a look at and make recommendations. Council member Matthew Sauer asked if there are new elements to the appeals process. Ms. Blair responded the appeals process was updated to make sure OOD makes it clear to our counselors they are obligated to provide appeal rights to consumers. The OOD appeals process is available on OOD's website. Council member Kim Monachino stated she would like to see this information as a standing item to be reported out annually to continue to keep up on the data. Ms. Blair stated it is on the Division of Legal's schedule. Employer and Innovation Services Update Deputy Director Kristen Ballinger reported OOD has a talent sourcing coordinator at The Ohio State University. In addition, OOD has a talent sourcing coordinator at Giant Eagle stores in Northeast Ohio. The National Employment Team's director of business relations invited OOD to share Ohio's innovative approaches so other states may be interested in replicating OOD's model. We were very excited to share our partnerships with business. OOD was approached by five states following the presentation to replicate OOD's model. In January, 2019, OOD launched an initiative with Giant Eagle's corporate office to embed a vocational rehabilitation talent sourcing coordinator who works with the human resources department for all Giant Eagle stores in northeast Ohio. The talent sourcing coordinator networks with hiring managers at the stores and human resources staff at corporate offices. Since January, OOD has assisted 21 participants to obtain employment. Within three months, OOD placed 21 individuals in the northeast Giant Eagle stores. In addition, OOD has assisted 12 Giant Eagle team members who were experiencing work-related issues because of their disability, but were not current OOD participants, to apply for services. In addition, OOD also provided retention support for 15 Giant Eagle team members who have open OOD cases. The goal for this partnership is to place 24 people continuously employed for at least six months. OOD is also supporting Giant Eagle with recruitment with different community partners. We are working with the developmental disability system and schools in northeast Ohio to place transition students as they are exiting school. OOD is also working with human resources staff to support team members who have disabilities by providing education and information. Ms. Ballinger stated Disability:IN Ohio employer networking event took place at Huntington Bank Gateway Center in Columbus. There were approximately 30 employers in attendance from all over central Ohio. Those members received information about OOD's services to business, and table top discussions that included worksite accessibility and reasonable accommodations, STABLE Accounts and other inclusive hiring activities. In addition, Ms. Ballinger reported In-Demand Jobs week is May 6-10, 2019. It's a statewide celebration of in-demand jobs. It is state law that In-Demand Jobs week is held the first full week of May. OOD is hosting several different partnerships across the state. Ms. Ballinger stated one of the directives from Governor Mike DeWine is that all state of Ohio employees would participate in regular disability etiquette and awareness training. OOD is developing that training. We will have an e-learning component through the My Ohio Administrative System and all state employees will be required to participate. We wanted to have the actual voice of people with disabilities talking about disability etiquette, disability awareness, best practices and how to interact in a respectful manner. There will also be several different people with different types of disabilities sharing their own experiences. We invited Dr. Smith to participate in the training and he accepted. Council member jw Smith stated the script was good, and it was a very good experience. The second component of training includes instructor-led in-person modules of Windmills, a disability awareness training, to be conducted for supervisors. Council member Matthew Sauer asked if there is a breakdown of the different types of positions at Giant Eagle (e.g., management track or supervisory track). Ms. Ballinger responded OOD is tracking those positions. For the first three months, most of the positions are clerks and cashiers. There is also a distribution center in northeast Ohio and we are making sure to place individuals into logistics and warehousing positions. Ms. Ballinger stated there is also a partnership with The Ohio State University, which we are in the third year of that agreement. OOD has placed people into instructor positions, lab assistant positions, advertising and sales for WOSU. Council member Michael Kirkman stated if there are problems with the union for people at Kroger and Giant Eagle, feel free to refer those individuals to Disability Rights Ohio. Council member Carlo LoParo asked what is the average pay? Ms. Ballinger, said about $12.83. Council member Kim Monachino stated at a future meeting could the Council hear more about the OOD talent sourcing coordinator. What their role is and how they support the clients that are employed. Director Kevin Miller stated there is quite a bit of an investment in individuals with disabilities with the budget. With the investment that is coming, we are looking at being able to do new patterns in service that we have never been able to do before. Deputy Director Ballinger provided a brief overview of some of the budget initiatives that have been proposed. There's an eight percent increase proposed each year for OOD. These dollars would be invested in several new patterns of service to serve populations that maybe we have not been able to service and expand services to those individuals who we know need our services. RecoveryOhio is one initiative where OOD will be replicating a model that we currently have with Butler County, the mental health and addiction rehab services board and Judge Keith Spaeth's drug court in Butler County. Through this model, OOD will be identifying certified drug courts throughout Ohio where we can embed vocational rehabilitation counselors to be part of the team to help individuals with substance use disorder who are involved in the certified drug court to obtain employment as a path to their recovery. In addition, OOD will be expanding its Ohio Transition Support Partnership with the Ohio Department of Education. This will allow us to serve more students with disabilities in our high schools and career technical planning districts throughout the state. OOD will also serve college students with disabilities by embedding counselors within public 2- and 4-year colleges and universities. Also, there is an initiative to create an internship program in state government. Vocational Rehabilitation Program Update Vocational Rehabilitation Update Ms. Ballinger stated regarding performance, OOD has been doing a lot of outreach with our community partners and potential referral sources. Based on the outreach, applications and eligibilities have both increased over this time from last year. A three percent increase for eligibility decisions; a seven percent increase for plans written. A large outreach campaign was held in the fall with the community colleges and public universities to serve more students with disabilities. In addition several outreach efforts have been held for individuals who are deaf and visually impaired. Wages have also ncreased to $11.83 compared to $11.18 at this time last year. OOD has been working closely with our provider community to hold listening sessions in partnership with our provider community for the VR Fee Schedule and rates. We are proposing a 6.5 percent increase across the board for vocational rehabilitation services. In addition job development and supported employment will have an eight percent increase. Group rates are being adjusted for the summer youth work experience. There is also a proposal for a shift differential so that individuals who need on the job supports outside of the normal eight to five working hours will have a shift differential. The draft went to stakeholders yesterday and feedback is due in two weeks. We will submit the final VR Fee Schedule to the Common Sense Initiative. Ms. Ballinger stated all VR policies and procedures are available on our public website at ood.ohio.gov. There is a public comment process for VR policies and procedures that was implemented in July. This process is continuing to be improved. Rather than just listening to general feedback about policy, you will be able to see the changes. As council members, you are all encouraged to participate in that public comment process. OOD improved the process for conducting the VR satisfaction surveys. The reports are being developed and the results will be provided at the next Council meeting. All council members are welcome to attend the VR Participant Focus groups. There are two scheduled on April 17 - one in Norwalk and one in Zanesville. Another Focus group is schedule on April 30 in Akron. Ms. Ballinger referred council members to the Participant Focus Group handout. Council member Margie Hegg asked what is the living wage? Council member Mathew Sauer responded it varies by city and region. Services for the Visually Impaired Christy Hauck, Program Manager, stated she is proving the report today because Deputy Director Greg Dormer is also at the CSAVR Conference. Ms. Hauck reported that applications continue to trend upward. Through the end of March, OOD is about 10 percent higher than this time last year. BSVI leadership met recently with Assistive Technology (AT) Ohio for a tour of their offices at The Ohio State University to discuss AT Ohio becoming a provider of rehabilitation technology and how OOD can partner together around technology for individuals served. We are asking and receiving feedback from staff on how to improve services, etc. The leadership team is taking opportunities to attend regional meetings to promote the Business Enterprise (BE) Program. There are six new Business Enterprise Operator licensees since last October. In addition, Ms. Hauck stated BlindSquare was recently installed at Franklin University and scheduled to be installed at the Ohio State School for the Blind at the end of April. BlindSquare is a beacon service where using GPS or Google, a person with a visual impairment can find a building. Also, OOD is placing orientation and mobility rehabilitation technology ad activities of daily living services back on the Vocational Rehabilitation Providers schedule. BSVI requested cost information from the providers of these services and developed cost-informed rates based on the state. Rates from other Ohio agencies and other states were looked at to make sure OOD's rates were competitive. The goal is to increase the pool of providers of these services to maximize statewide coverage. Vice-chair jw Smith asked about the morale in the BE Program. Ms. Hauck responded we have an aging workforce. We are expanding on Ohio State's campus next year. We are putting people to work more quickly than we had before in the past. Our priority locations are federal and state grantors in buildings. We have to be honest - are the licensees willing to travel or move for a job opportunity. We are working with the Ohio Vendors Representative Committee to update the rules. Rules are updated every five years. With the Randolph Sheppard Act, there is a big push to get more women involved. BE is working with counselors and the Communications team to recruit more women by social media and looking at mentorships and internships to have this as a career opportunity and be present to kids at an earlier age. National Coalition of State Rehabilitation Councils Conference Vice-chair jw Smith reported this was one of the most productive educational training opportunities and experiences he attended in a long time. He thanked Director Miller for making this possible. He stated the OOD Council does not have to reinvent the wheel. We can learn from others. The relationship with OOD is important. This is a collaborative effort. We have a great relationship with the OOD Director. If we are going to be a serious contribution to this, there is going to be some expenses involved. OOD has to give us the tools to be successful. Maybe we bring in a motivational speaker. Let's not lose our appreciation for what OOD does. We need to be an advocate, and a leader. He explained that if you spell the word REAL, the R stands for roles and resources and relationships - the council needs to have that discussion about what we want our role to be collectively and individually. The E stands for educate and enrich. Council members need to be committed. We need to discuss expenses - do we need a budget. The letter A stands for advising, administration and appreciation. How do we get our business accomplished? Should we bring in a motivational speaker or a speaker who has been a Director of an agency and also a council member to share both sides of the aisle? The L stands for leadership, learning and link. The council should provide leadership. Not just one person but as a council, we need to be out front. We will need to decide how many meetings and the length of those meetings we want to have going forward. Chair Dr. Carolyn Peters stated the NCSRC was designed and developed for making a framework for all state rehabilitation councils. There was an opportunity to interact with 21 different states. She encouraged council members with one year terms to reapply. The council is an advisory body. We need to know and understand the policies and procedures. We may need to rely on committees to do this. We need to be involved in the state plan and state survey processes. The NCSRC is preparing a state rehabilitation council guide. It is a guidebook to give the council advice to keep on track and keep things moving. We want to continue a positive atmosphere and work environment with the OOD Staff, Director Miller and Governor DeWine. Letter to Governor Mike DeWine Dr. Peters thanked Council member Matthew Sauer, Dale Vitale and Shirley Marchi for drafting the letter. Vice-chair jw Smith moved to approve the letter to Governor DeWine, seconded by Council member Carlo LoParo. Motioned carried. By-Laws/Operating Procedures Assistant Attorney General Dale Vitale stated voting on the bylaws today does not cast it in stone forever. He reviewed minor changes to the bylaws and stated the Governor is the only person who can remove a member. He recommended that after a couple more meetings, Shirley and Dale should look at who has been attending and missing the meetings and the circumstances around that. At that time, the Council can discuss whether the removal provision might become necessary in the bylaws. Council member Matthew Sauer moved to accept the OOD Council By-laws as presented today, seconded by Council member John Moore. Motion carried. New Business Council members stated continuing with DirectorPoint was a good idea because as the Council accumulates more documents and materials, there is value in having a central place where all materials are stored. Council member John Moore commented that deaf people oftentimes are very underrepresented at national conferences, and local and statewide conferences. Public Comment None Adjourn Council Member John Moore moved to adjourn the meeting, seconded by Council member Michael Kirkman. Motion carried.

E Kelly Nigerian producer, known for his work behind the boards for Mr Eazi, Wizkid and Major Lazer, will release his debut project, No Secrets, on May 8. The five-song EP blends E Kelly's signature sound — an airy, mellowed-out spin on afropop — with vocals from Mr Eazi, Joeboy, Boybreed, King Perryy and Minz.
Fans of Mr Eazi's E Kelly-produced smash "Pour Me Water" will recognize the thread between that track and No Secrets' "Need Somebody" while "My Girl" (feat. King Perryy) evokes the islands with its breezy, dancehall-inspired riddim.
Lead single "Confetti" (feat. Boybreed) is a scorching , straight-ahead afrobeats tune sure to have dancers turning up come summer.

MUMBAI: Actor Gaurav Sareen has put on 10 kgs for a special sequence of the show Krishna Chali London.
"There is a dream sequence in the show which requires me to look healthy. Radhey (his character) dreams that he and Krishna are married, have aged and are living happily with each other," Gaurav, who now weighs 70 kg, said in a statement.
"I discussed the whole sequence with my director and we did various look tests. I love playing Radhey on screen and I want to do justice to my character and if I have to do anything for it, I will readily do it," he added.
Radhey is a good- looking man who is supposed to get married to Krishna even though their relationship is bitter sweet.
Krishna Chali London is aired on Star Plus.

9 Things To Wear On Your First Day Of High School
Summer is coming to an end, which means back to school sales are popping up left and right. Of course, this means most students are probably trying to figure out the "what to wear on your first day of high school" question. I mean, first impressions are highly important. Therefore, your first day of school outfit has to be flawless.
I know I was not the only high schooler who had my first day of school look laid out the night before to ensure I looked my best. I knew going in that my first day of high school could potentially set my reputation within those halls for the four years to come. I wore a red top with bootcut denim jeans, adorable white Converse, and a Louis Vuitton backpack. Mind you, I went to high school in Chicago so my school was basically a fashion show every day since it was a big city. Senior year, I was voted Best Dressed and I swear I owe that to my first day of school attire from freshman year and beyond.
Whether you're entering your freshman or senior year, first day of school outfits are one of the most important looks of your academic career. Luckily, there are countless options to choose from, including cool sneakers to bold tops.
Here are nine items to wear on your first day of high school that will make you look like the coolest teenager in the hallways.
1. Varsity Jacket
Adidas Originals Snake Print Trefoil Logo Varsity Jacket, $126, Asos
You don't need to be a cheerleader, a track star, or on any sports aficionado for that matter to rock a varsity jacket. This snake print one will certainly have people envious of your closet as you strut the hallways on the first day. Plus, you can tie the jacket around your waist when you get hot for a cool, vintage look.
2. Denim Midi Skirt
Denim Midi Tube Skirt, $26, Simply be
In my experience, the first day of school seems to be when many students break out their classic denim jeans. Switch things up a bit by donning a denim midi skirt instead. Denim skirts are super trendy right now and this one is a flashback to the '90s. Plus, the skirt is mid-length so no chance of breaking your high school's strict dress code.
3. All White Sneakers
Nike Roshe 1, $70, Foot Locker
A fresh pair of all white sneakers is always the best. Since many people will be donning white high tops on their first day, opt for these Nike Roshe's instead to stand out from the other high schoolers. These sneakers are some of the coolest Nike's to date, if you ask me. Plus, they will make you feel like you are walking on clouds. Your feet will thank you and you'll definitely receive tons of compliments along the way.
4. Simple Skater Dress
Junarose Skater Dress, $63, Asos
Skater dresses are arguably the comfiest dresses you can wear, which is why they are on my back to school attire list. This beautiful blue number is quite adorable with its three-quarter sleeves that'll keep your arms warm when your classroom is blasting the air conditioning. The flare detailing on the skirt of the dress will also make your hips look luscious, which IMO is always great.
5. Cut-Out Ankle Boots
ASOS Apollo Leather Cut Out Ankle Boots, $36, Asos
Ankle boots are some of the edgiest footwear you can sport. The cut out of these boots will keep your feet sweat-free on the first day of school while still helping you remain trendy.
6. Faux Leather Backpack
Neiman Marcus Faux Leather Backpack, 45, Last Call
Backpacks are an essential accessory for every high schooler, but they can make or break your look. A faux leather backpack like this one, however, will have everyone wanting to know all the details of your chic life.
7. Peasant Tops
Pinstriped Peasant Tunic, $128, Anthropologie
Peasant tops are back in vogue and I am pretty excited about it. This kind of top is great for the first day of school because of its lightweight material, which makes it easy to layer. Can we also discuss how stunning the lace detailing is?
8. Maxi Tunic
ASOS Curve Maxi Tunic, $45, Asos
Strut your high school hallways like they're a runway with this maxi tunic. These tops are very flowy and ideal for the summer to fall transition. You will look like a gorgeous fashionista on the first day of school by wearing this top, I promise.
9. Boyfriend Jeans
Low Rise Destructed Boyfriend Jeans, $21, Target
OK, who wants to wear constricting, tight jeans on the first day of school? I know I wouldn't. There is a denim option that will have you looking fabulous while remaining comfortable, though. All hail the boyfriend jean. These jeans often come in a relaxed fit, but opt for a pair with distressed detailing to make them extra edgy.
With this sartorial arsenal at your disposal, all those first day of high school worries are sure to slip away.

The Anglophone Crisis in Cameroon started on October 6, 2016, as a sit down strike initiated by the Anglophone Civil Society Consortium (CACSC), consisting of lawyer and teacher trade unions from the 2 English speaking regions of the country. This was as a result of the discontent of the English speaking Cameroonian, which presented itself in calls for federation or separation from the French speaking majority. The crisis has let to insecurity in these regions, making it difficult for people to move on with their normal daily activities. As a result, thousands have escaped to other regions, especially the Litoral and Centre regions. Those in the rural areas who do not have the means to relocate, have moved to hideout in bushes while others have run to neighbouring Nigeria.
As Cameroon's presidential candidates get set for the October 7 elections, it is uncertain whether voting will take in all 10 regions of the country. Armed men considered as separatist in the northwest and neighbouring southwest regions have sown they will not permit "foreign elections" in their territory. To attain their objectives, they have destroyed polling stations and burned others down to ashes. They also forbade the presidential candidates from holding their electoral campaigns in these region. So far, Prophet Frank Ndifor Afanui, a candidate for the opposition; Cameroon National Citizenship Movement, is the only one who has ventured into the southwest, precisely Mutengene. Also, movement of people and vehicles is restricted in these areas, making difficult to ascertain that those present will be able to cast their votes, come October 7.
Thousands have fled to other regions. The exodus has gotten to the point where government officials are begging citizens to stay in their homes. This happened a few days back when Governor Bernard Okala Bilai, of the southwest region, visited the Mile 17 motor park, urging the panic stricken passengers to go back to their homes. He said "those who are abandoning their homes, you can see the here, the luggage, beds, furniture. No, where are they going? No, we want them to stay at home". His plea seems to fall on deaf ears as the population continues to run for their safety day after day. This is a major impediment for the upcoming election, as these displaced people cannot cast their votes out the areas where they were registered.
Some people say the October 7 election is a charade and abuse of power by the government, and also a ploy to rubberstamp the incumbent Paul Biya in power for another 7 years. It is abnormal for a government to organise elections in a country torn apart by a growing crisis. "The most important thing the government needs to do at this moment is to find long lasting solutions to the ongoing crisis, not organising elections when there is no body to vote them".
It should be noted that the population of the northwest and southwest region makes up about 10% of the population of Cameroon. If these people are unable to vote due to the ongoing crisis, it will be hard to say that the results of the election is fair, as the opinion of all Cameroonian will not be heard.

I wish I could take credit for the wonderful map, as it's the kind of thing I would do if I were retired, but thanks to the people at HEET (Home Energy Efficiency Team) and in particular their co-founder and president Audrey Schulman, we can now view Newton's gas leaks, as reported by National Grid in their annual Service Quality Report filed with the Department of Public Utilities in March, on a map, instead of searching through the statewide list of leaks as described here.
This is just a screen capture, but to search your neighborhood, or check how long a leak has been known to National Grid, you can go to this page which has links to maps for Newton and the 146 other Massachusetts communities HEET has mapped so far.
If you appreciate having this information, if you think it's ridiculous that it took the recently passed state law to require disclosure of gas leak locations, and that when forced to report them, National Grid provided the information in the most user-unfriendly format possible (in order of "Leak Number"), and has resisted providing Newton and other communities with their date in Excel spreadsheet form so it could be sorted, say, alphabetically by street, please consider making a small (or large!) contribution to HEET (a 501c3 non-profit) via their PayPal link to help them continue this effort. I can attest that it must have been very time-consuming, because my Newton Tree Conservancy colleague Ron Joseph, and Marc Welch, were both trying working on turning the Service Quality Report tables into sortable Excel documents before we all got busy with spring tree plantings, and it was a messy process. And that's before any map creation. HEET considered charging a small one-time fee to anyone looking at the maps, but ultimately decided it was more important to make the information accessible. I contributed $10 because checking this map is a lot quicker than searching the PDF for "NEW" for Newton which looks like this:
The maps are only as good as the National Grid list, however, and based on gas leaks I'm familiar with, not everything that ought to be there is. Parmenter Road gas leaks show as repaired; they're not (as of our early April gas leak checks for tree spots). Chris Steele's gas leak on Woodward is not there, though it's been a problem for years and was there (still, or again) in early April. A leak on Day Street we reported in October 2014, which National Grid actually repaired — not listed. Nor are leaks at 158 & 161 Ridge Ave, also reported in October, one of which seemed to be repaired, one not. Also not showing up (on the Weston map) is the years-long, probably decades-long leak at the Rt 30 bridge over 128, which I regularly smell coming off the 128 southbound exit ramp to Rt 30 east late at night, except for a few months apparent respite following night repair work a couple of summers ago.
So while it's a good resource to know where to think twice before planting a tree, or repaving a street, it's not a guarantee of no leaks.

Leaders from Kuwait and Saudi Arabia say they are prepared to consider substantially reducing billions of dollars of debt owed to their countries by Iraq.
Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz says Riyadh will enter into negotiations. But he added that there would be no reduction until there is an internationally-recognized Iraqi government. He spoke Wednesday after talks with U-S special envoy James Baker.
Mr. Baker earlier visited Kuwait, where he secured a pledge from Kuwaiti Prime Minister Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmed al-Sabah to cut Iraq's debt if his country's parliament approves. On Tuesday, Mr. Baker won similar pledges from the United Arab Emirates and Qatar.
But Kuwait's Sheikh al-Sabah made clear that the issue of Iraqi debt does not include war reparations owed Kuwait from 1990, when Saddam Hussein's military invaded the tiny state, starting a seven-month occupation. He also said debt forgiveness would be negotiated only with an internationally-recognized Iraqi government.
Meanwhile, a roadside bomb has injured at least 10 people near the northern Iraqi city of Mosul. The device exploded near a U-S military convoy. U-S military officials in Iraq confirmed that three American soldiers were among the wounded. Hospital and police officials say six Iraqis and a Turkish national were also injured.

This week artists and art galleries respond to the heartbreaking attack on Nice as well as other news in art, from Bowie to Van Gogh.
1. New information has come to light regarding the grizzly details of Van Gogh's wandering ear and his unstable mental state at the time. The new exhibition in Amsterdam, exploring Van Gogh's medical history, will include a Lefaucheux revolver found in a field that many believe was his suicide weapon.
On the Verge of Insanity: Van Gogh and his Illness, also includes new evidence regarding his infamous ear (or lack thereof) as writer Bernadette Murphy, revealed in her book Van Gogh's Ear: The True Story. Murphy discovered a note and diagram form the doctor (Felix Rey) who treated Van Gogh in Arles after he had dessicated his ear.
Nienke Bakker, a curator of the exhibition, stresses that Van Gogh's art should "not be viewed as a product of his illness, but rather he painted in spite of his condition." On the Verge of Insanity: Van Gogh and his Illness will run from Friday 15 July – Sunday 25 September. (via The Art Newspaper)
2. David Bowie's incredible art collection will be on view to the public as part of a three-part sale in November at Sotheby's New Bond Street Galleries, London. His seismic collection consists of works by Henry Moore, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Damien Hirst, Frank Auerbach and Marcel Duchamp. Bowie said to The New York Times in 1998, "Art was, seriously, the only thing I'd ever wanted to own. It has always been for me a stable nourishment. I use it. It can change the way I feel in the mornings. The same work can change me in different ways, depending on what I'm going through." Bowie's private collection will be exhibited at the galleries from Tuesday 1 – Thursday 10 November. Read more here.
3. Last Saturday over 3,000 people in the city of Hull stripped naked and covered themselves in various hues of blue paint for US photographer Spencer Tunick, who is famous for his images of nude crowds. Tunick was commissioned by Ferens Art Gallery for Hull's UK City of Culture. Roads were closed off between midnight and 10am, while the thousands of blue people positioned themselves at notable maritime landmarks in the city. Tunick talked of the natural contrast between the human body and its urban surroundings: "The natural, soft vulnerable body that's up against the concrete world – it creates a dynamic that interests me," he said.
Tunick's photographs will be exhibited in the newly refurbished gallery in 2017, when Hull is host to the UK City of Culture and will be bought for the Ferens permanent collection. (via The Guardian)
4. The art-word reacted to the horrific attack at the Bastille Celebrations in Nice this week (14 July) on Instagram; from the Louvre (pictured) to New York's Pace Gallery spreading messages and image of solidarity, including paintings by the likes of Matisse in the once-peaceful seaside city. (via Art Net)
5. Art dealer Oliver Thomas has been indicted amid new claims of two stolen Pablo Piacsso paintings (Woman Combing Her Hair, 1957, and Espagnole à l'éventai, 1957) from Picasso's stepdaughter Catherine Hutin-Blay. Hutin-Blay claims that the 'free-port king' Yves Bouvier had been entrusted with these paintings, but they had been passed on and sold by Thomas to Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev (who returned the paintings immediately to the Brigade de Repression du Banditisme). Thomas claims he has never seen the paintings before, however detectives have now found photos of the stolen paintings on his laptop that appear to have been taken by himself. The two paintings are of Hutin-Bays mother, Jacqueline Roque. Read more here.

WATCH: Big Ramy controversy continues.
It seems Big Ramy is making the headlines off the stage rather than on the stage in 2019.
It has been confirmed by Big Ramy himself that he is not going to compete in 2019 due to a shoulder injury that he has been having trouble with for a number of months.
Read More: Injuries plague the Pro League – Big Ramy and Antoine Vaillant sidelined
It has been confirmed by Nick Trigili and then by Big Ramy himself that he does have a shoulder injury.
Just a day after the news was revealed that Big Ramy will not be competing in the 2019 season, Nick Trigili also revealed that Big Ramy has stopped working with super trainer Neil Hill.
Neil already trains Flex Lewis,William Bonac Ryan Terry,Blessing Awodibu and Steve Laureus. Big Ramy is also still mentioned in his list of athletes on his official Instagram page.
Immediately after the 2018 Mr. Olympia, it was confirmed that Big Ramy did team up with Neil Hill. This looked like a perfect combination. But according to Nick Trigili, it seems this has also come to an end.
Big Ramy is known for leaving high profile trainers or gurus. Ramy has worked with Dennis James, George Farrah and Chris Aceto in the past as well. The working relationship was not long.
The news regarding Neil Hill still has not been confirmed by either Big Ramy or Neil Hill himslef.

Penny scandal: Brokers lost S$350m; ex-IPCO exec to serve 3 years in prison
THE 2013 penny stock crash has pummeled the brokerages used by the alleged perpetrators with more than S$350 million of unpaid losses, Singapore prosecutors said on Wednesday at the hearing of the first of three defendants.
The prosecution painted the accused, Goh Hin Calm, as a "seed funder and finance manager" who helped co-defendants John Soh Chee Wen and Quah Su-Ling to control a web of 189 trading accounts that were used to drive up the share prices of Asiasons Capital, Blumont Group and LionGold Corp in 2013. Asiasons is now called Attilan Group.
Goh, in a white, long-sleeved shirt and without displaying any outward emotion, pleaded guilty to two charges of abetment. Justice See Kee Oon sentenced Goh, a former interim chief executive of IPCO International, on Wednesday to three years in prison.
Goh faced a maximum penalty of S$250,000 in fines and seven years in prison for each charge.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Nicholas Tan sought two concurrent three-year prison terms – one for each charge – arguing that it would set a deterrent, and reflected the harm caused by Goh's actions and the extent to which he knew what he was doing.
Your feedback is important to us

Goh's lawyer, Adrian Wee of Characterist LLC, sought leniency on the basis of Goh's remorse, and the fact that Goh had only a limited role in the alleged scheme. This is also Goh's first offence.
Goh's guilty plea sets him up as a possible witness for the prosecution in the coming trial for Soh, a Malaysian businessman, and Quah, who was CEO of IPCO before Goh. IPCO has since been renamed Renaissance United.
The losses faced by the brokerages, which include Phillip Securities, RBC, Goldman Sachs, Interactive Brokers and Saxo Bank, represented unpaid amounts as at April 2018, the prosecution said. Those stemmed from amounts owed as a result of financing backed by Asiasons, Blumont and LionGold shares and extended to the accounts that Soh and Quah allegedly controlled, and from contra losses after the prices of those stocks collapsed in October 2013.
The prosecution alleged that Goh and his wife helped Soh and Quah to set up 10 personal trading accounts at five different brokerages between 2008 and 2011, then ceded control of those accounts to Soh and Quah. Goh was further accused of helping to facilitate the creation of another seven personal trading accounts by four individuals and 11 corporate accounts.
Those accounts, as part of the 189 accounts that the prosecution said were controlled by Soh and Quah, were allegedly used to trade shares of Asiasons, Blumont and LionGold, the three counters at the heart of the 2013 crash.
The prosecution's statement of facts alleged that Soh and Quah would get others to open trading accounts, whether personal or corporate, and then authorise Soh or Quah to make trades using those accounts.
Those accounts were used to rapidly trade a significant volume of shares in Asiasons, Blumont and LionGold shares between themselves on contra, the prosecution alleged. Contra refers to the practice in which trades are reversed – and profits and losses realised – before they have to be settled.
Goh managed a pool of funds to help Soh and Quah pay off contra losses on their various controlled accounts, the prosecution said. He also helped to keep track of the shareholdings held under the various accounts. Spreadsheets that he maintained while carrying out those tasks were used by the prosecution as evidence of the controlled accounts.
In all, the prosecution is alleging that the controlled accounts were held by 60 individuals and companies; and at 20 financial institutions, including local and foreign brokerages, as well as international banks.
At one time, Goh's spreadsheet suggested that Soh and Quah's controlled accounts held about 36.5 per cent of Asiasons shares, 15.3 per cent of Blumont's shares, and 54.1 per cent of LionGold shares, the prosecution alleged.
The prosecution alleged that the controlled accounts were behind 88 per cent of the total traded volume of Asiasons shares between Aug 1, 2012 and Oct 3, 2013; 60 per cent of the total traded volume of Blumont shares between Jan 2, 2013 and Oct 3, 2013; and 90 per cent of the total traded volume of LionGold shares between Aug 1, 2012 and Oct 3, 2013.
The "wash trading" between controlled accounts helped to create an artificial picture of liquidity and demand for the three stocks, and drove up the prices for those counters by multiples over the bulk of a year, prosecutors said. The inflated shares were then used by Soh and Quah as collateral to obtain financing, the statement of claims stated.
On Oct 4, 2013, however, the prices of those shares collapsed, fueling a sell-off in penny stocks on the Singapore Exchange. The probe into the circumstances of that crash has been described by authorities as the largest securities fraud investigation in Singapore's history.Goh's hearing is the first to come out of those investigations. The joint trial for Soh and Quah is currently scheduled for March 25.

NSYNC was an iconic American boy band formed in Orlando, Florida in 1995. Consisting of Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick, Joey Fatone, and Lance Bass, NSYNC has received a host of Grammy Award nominations, as well as performed at the Super Bowl, the Olympics, and the World Series.
The super-popular band has also recorded or performed with a host of other mega-stars, including:
- Elton John
- Stevie Wonder
- Michael Jackson
- Janet Jackson
- Britney Spears
- Phil Collins
- Celine Dion
- Aerosmith
- Nelly
- Left Eye
- Mary J. Blige
- Alabama
- Gloria Estefan
In 2002, the band announced the beginning of a "temporary hiatus," but NSYNC hasn't recorded any new material since then. But it wasn't until 2007 that Lance Bass confirmed that the group had "definitely broken up."
Now that you know a little of the band's history, here are some fun facts about the band that you may not have known.
How They Got Their Name
The mega-popular band's name actually has an interesting, if not endearing, story. It's said that NSYNC got its name after Justin Timberlake's mother made a comment on how "in sync" the group's singing voices were. The spelling/format of the name is also a play on the last letter of each of the initial members' names: JustiN, ChriS, JoeY, JasoN, and JC.
How the Band's Initial Members Came Together
Chris Kirkpatrick, who'd missed the cut for the Backstreet Boys, met with manager Lou Pearlman in 1995 to talk about forming another boy band. Pearlman said that he would finance the group, but only if Kirkpatrick would find other young male singers for the new group.
This prompted Kirkpatrick to reach out to Joey Fatone, a friend he'd met while working at Universal Studios. Once Fatone had agreed to be a member of the new band, he and Kirkpatrick approached Lou Pearlman together for more suggestions.
Pearlman looked through some tapes he had, and by chance, one of Justin Timberlake from The Mickey Mouse Club caught his eye. Timberlake soon joined the new group, and then recommended his friend, JC Chasez, who was also a cast member on Walt Disney Channel's Mickey Mouse Club. The forming group soon decided to even out their sound, leading them to recruit Jason Galasso as their bass singer.
The Highly Publicized Legal Battle
In 1999, NSYNC began a highly public legal battle with Lou Pearlman, their manager, due to what the group believed were sketchy business practices on Pearlman's part.
NSYNC sued Lou Pearlman, and his record company, Trans Continental, for defrauding the band of more than 50% of their earnings, as opposed to his promise of receiving only one-sixth of the group's profits, similar to his promise of one-sixth of the profits with the Backstreet Boys (who he was also defrauding).
NSYNC threatened to leave Trans Continental and sign with Jive Records, which prompted Pearlman and RCA (the record label) to countersue NSYNC for $150 million and the use of the band's name.
Pearlman requested a preliminary injunction against the band, but it was denied.
Pearlman, RCA, and NSYNC eventually reached a settlement out of court, and NSYNC went on to sign with Jive Records.
Lance Bass Wasn't the Original Fifth Member
Originally, the fifth member of NSYNC was a singer named Jason Galasso, but Galasso quit shortly after the band was formed; he was replaced by Lance Bass.
Lou Pearlman Was Technically a Member of NSYNC
Original manager Lou Pearlman made himself a sixth member of NSYNC in their contract, without the band's consent, allowing him to take a sixth of the group's total profits, on top of his commissions and fees.
NSYNC's First Top 10 Single on the Billboard Hot 100
The band's first Top 10 single on Billboard Hot 100 was "(God Must Have Spent) A Little More Time on You." It reached number 8.
NSYNC's First Full-Fledged North America Tour
The band's first full-fledged tour in Northern America was an opening act for Janet Jackson on her The Velvet Rope Tour.
Joey was the first member of the band to find out that Lance is gay. He went on to tell the rest of the band a few months later.
