Modelo®, Takis® Snacks and Spice Adams Invite Fans to Go ‘All In’ This Summer with the “Hands on a Hot Drop” Competition

As one of many limited-edition #ModeloTime collaborations dropping this summer, fans will compete for a branded Modelo and Takis® Snacks vending machine and a year’s worth of beer and snacks*.

Modelo / Takis Vending Machine

CHICAGO, July 07, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Summer is in full swing and to help fans maximize everything this season has to offer, Modelo is inviting consumers to have an “All In Summer” by partnering with some of the hottest brands to unlock weekly #ModeloTime collaborations. As part of the weekly #ModeloTime drops, Modelo has teamed up with Takis® Snacks to create a limited-edition, temperature-controlled vending machine, combining two of the best tastes of the summer – beer brewed for those with the Fighting Spirit paired with the iconic spicy snack brand.

To put Fighting Spirits to the test, Modelo has an exciting way for fans to get their hands – or hand – on a Modelo and Takis® Snacks Vending Machine. On Sunday, July 10, Modelo and Takis® Snacks will host its “Hands on a Hot Drop” Competition, where one lucky winner will receive the limited-edition vending machine along with help to buy a year’s worth* of Modelo and Takis® Snacks to fuel the summer vibes for the next year.

“Modelo is committed to helping our fans unleash their inner Fighting Spirit and maximize their summer,” said Greg Gallagher, Vice President Brand Marketing, Modelo. “Just like us, Takis Snacks has never been afraid to be bold, so it was a great fit to work with them on this unique experience.”

Pre-selected “Hands on a Hot Drop” contestants will be required to place one hand on the vending machine at the start of the competition and if they take their hand off for any reason— even if it’s to grab an ice-cold Modelo or wipe Takis® Snacks crumbs off their face – it will result in elimination. To keep things interesting, Modelo has tapped former professional football star and TV personality Spice Adams to host the competition, during which he will present challenges to see who has the most Fighting Spirit.

Modelo / Takis “Hands on a Hot Drop”

“I am thrilled to join Modelo and Takis Snacks at the iHeartRadio Block Party to host the ‘Hands on a Hot Drop’ competition and bring some extra spice,” said Adams. “I’ve got some tricks up my sleeve to keep participants on their toes and make sure everyone is having a great time. I’m ready to see which of these contestants has what it takes to bring the grand prize home.”

The competition will be held at the iHeartRadio Block Party presented by Modelo on Sunday, July 10 from 2 to 6 pm EST at Pier 76 in New York City. Modelo is welcoming those 21+ to watch the “Hands on a Hot Drop” competition live in New York City or on Instagram channels @ModeloUSA and @SpiceAdams.

Outside of the competition, two fans will be selected to win a Modelo and Takis® Snacks Vending Machine and help to buy a six-month supply* of Modelo beer and Takis® Snacks by entering the sweepstakes. The Modelo and Takis® Snacks collaboration is just one in a series of #ModeloTime drops taking place this summer to help consumers go all in. Every Friday at 3 p.m. ET, there is a fresh #ModeloTime drop, so fans won’t want to miss out.

FBI and MI5 team up to warn of the risks of Chinese hackers and spies

In an unprecedented joint appearance Wednesday, the heads of U.S. and U.K. security agencies warned about China’s hacking and economic espionage, which they called “the most game-changing challenge we face.”

FBI director Christopher Wray in a speech delivered at the London headquarters of MI5, the British domestic intelligence service, said “it’s the Chinese government that poses the biggest long-term threat to our economic and national security.”

He added that Beijing was “set on stealing your technology, whatever it is that makes your industry tick, and using it to undercut your business and dominate your market.”

MI5 Director General Ken McCallum said that his agency “has already more than doubled” the effort against Chinese activity of concern in the last three years.

“Today we’re running seven times as many investigations as we were in 2018,” he said, adding that MI5 plans “to grow as much again” to counter threats by China.

“The Chinese Communist Party is interested in our democratic, media and legal systems. Not to emulate them, sadly, but to use them for its gain,” said the MI5 head.

This joint appearance by the two agencies’ heads is seen as a show of Western solidarity and, as Wray put it, “FBI and MI5 are united in this fight.”

McCallum meanwhile said: “Today is the first time the heads of the FBI and MI5 have shared a public platform. We’re doing so to send the clearest signal we can on a massive shared challenge: China.”

‘Immense threat’

“Such a joint appearance, focused on the activities of one country, is highly unusual,” said Matthew Brazil, Fellow at the Jamestown Foundation and co-author of the book “Chinese Communist Espionage’.

“It indicates that London and Washington think their business communities are insufficiently aware, or even negligent, of technology theft by Beijing’s security services,” said Brazil, who also serves as China analyst for Washington D.C.-based firm BluePath Lab.

“This is not hyperbole. The 2021 annual survey of members by the U.S.-China Business Council indicate that American firms may be worried about the bilateral relationship, but they are still making money in China,” he said.

The China analyst warned there is a systemic problem with corporations seeking short-term returns and some high-tech businesses being “more focused on being a generation ahead of competitors than losing last year’s technology to a foreign government.”

In his remarks to business leaders in Thames House, London, Christopher Wray, who spent 12 years in the private sector, called the threat by China “immense” and “a far more complex and pervasive threat to businesses than even most sophisticated company leaders realize.”

“Where we see some companies stumble is in thinking that by attending to one, or a couple, of these dangers, they’ve got the whole Chinese government danger covered—when really, China just pivots to the remaining door left unattended,” the FBI boss said.

The FBI and MI5 leaders gave a number of examples of Chinese economic espionage, with Ken McCallum warning that “privileged information is gathered on multiple channels, in what is sometimes referred to as the ‘thousand grains of sand’ strategy.”

China’s ambition

“The aim here is not to cut off from China – one fifth of humanity, with immense talent,” the MI5 head said.

“We’re not talking about Chinese people,” he said, adding that his agency is focused on the Chinese Communist Party and certain parts of the Chinese State, whose “scale of ambition is huge.”

The FBI’s Wray was more direct when he said that the Chinese government is “using intimidation and repression to shape the world to be more accommodating to China’s campaign of theft.”

“The Chinese Government sees cyber as the pathway to cheat and steal on a massive scale,” he said, adding that China’s “lavishly resourced” hacking program is bigger than that of every other major country combined.

The Chinese government has yet to respond but a spokesman for the Chinese embassy in Washington rejected the allegations given in the joint address.

Liu Pengyu said in an emailed statement to the Associated Press that China “firmly opposes and combats all forms of cyber-attacks” and called the accusations groundless.

Christopher Wray warned about the possibility that China may try to forcibly take over Taiwan, saying “it would represent one of the most horrific business disruptions the world has ever seen.”

The intelligence chiefs called for more cooperation to counter imminent threats.

The U.K. has shared intelligence about cyber threats with 37 countries, according to MI5’s McCallum who said that security alliances such as the Five Eyes comprising Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States “remain at the heart of our response.”

Body of NLD politician’s body found in Myanmar’s Kayin state

The body of a National League for Democracy MP has been found two weeks after his arrest. Kyaw Myo Min had been tied up and buried in a shallow grave in Kayin state’s Hpa-An township. He had been arrested in his home town of Belin in neighboring Mon state on June 22 along with two other NLD members and a local who were traveling by motorcycle. Junta forces shot at them and they were then arrested.

An NLD member told RFA the troops had tried to hide Kyaw Myo Min’s body.

“He was tied up at his back and buried on the shore of the creek, but he was not buried well and his head was visible. It seems the body was dumped on the shore of the creek and covered with leaves. It was difficult to identify the body as it had decomposed. There were no visible bullet or stab wounds”, he said.

A member of Kyaw Myo Min’s family, who spoke on condition of anonymity for safety reasons, said the family knew he was in danger because it was impossible to contact him after his arrest.

Last Saturday locals also found the bodies of the other two arrested NLD members, Pan Myint and Ko Ko Maung. The bodies were dumped in Hpa-An township close to where the MP’s body was found.

There are a number of infantry troops stationed in Belin township: the Thein Zayat-based Kha Ma Ya 207 brigade, the Kyaik Hto-based Kha La Ya , Kha Ma Ya 102 from Tha Hton, along with Military Battalion 33 and the Border Guard Force Brigade. It is not yet known which troops were involved in the arrests and killings.

Calls to the military council spokesman by RFA went unanswered and it has not released any statement on Kyaw Myo Min’s arrest.

One of his family members told RFA the local who was arrested with the NLD members managed to escape so the troops broke the other captives’ legs and critically injured Kyaw Myo Min.

“Now they are doing what the powerful do: anything they want without following laws regarding prisoners,” said an NLD source and colleague of the murdered MP.

“I will record their illegal activities so I can recall them during the [coming] revolution. People will know who committed the crimes and they will be made to suffer one day.”

Kyaw Myo Min became an MP in 2011. He also served as chairman of the Belin branch of the NLD.

An NLD statement released in May said 917 NLD members had been arrested since the coup on February 1, 2021. It also said 18 party members, including MPs, died due to inadequate health care and brutal interrogations.

Many NLD members joined the mass protests after the 2021 coup and armed themselves to fight after junta forces launched a brutal crackdown on peaceful protests.

ข้อมูลระยะยาวของทารกให้ความมั่นใจในการผสมกับไข่ด้วยวิธีใหม่ – วิธีเจริญพันธุ์ในหลอดทดลอง (CAPA-IVM)

วิลมิงตัน, รัฐเดลาแวร์, July 07, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — การศึกษาติดตามผลกับทารกอายุ 2 ปีใหม่ได้รายงานว่าไม่พบความแตกต่างในผลลัพธ์ของพัฒนาการในเด็กที่เกิดหลังจากการเจริญเติบโตเต็มที่ในหลอดทดลอง (CAPA-IVM) เมื่อเทียบกับเด็กที่เกิดด้วยวิธีการปฏิสนธิภายนอกร่างกายแบบเดิม (IVF) หลังการกระตุ้นรังไข่ การศึกษานี้ถูกออกแบบมาเพื่อตรวจสอบพัฒนาการที่ล่าช้าของเด็กในด้านการสื่อสาร การใช้กล้ามเนื้อมัดใหญ่ การใช้กล้ามเนื้อมัดเล็ก การแก้ปัญหา และพฤติกรรมส่วนตัวและพฤติกรรมทางสังคม โดยมีเด็กทั้งหมด 231 คนที่ได้รับการประเมินเมื่ออายุ 6 เดือน 12 เดือน และ 24 เดือนหลังคลอด

ผลการศึกษาได้รับการนำเสนอโดย Prof. Dr. Tuong M Ho ในการประชุมประจำปีครั้งที่ 38 ของ European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) เมื่อวันที่ 6 กรกฎาคม 2022 ที่เมืองมิลาโน (อิตาลี) และได้รับการตีพิมพ์ลงใน Human Reproduction¹ วารสารเวชศาสตร์การเจริญพันธุ์ชั้นนำ

Prof. Dr. Lan Vuong จากโรงพยาบาล MyDuc, HCMC, เวียดนาม ซึ่งเป็นผู้นำในการศึกษากล่าวว่า “ผลการค้นคว้าที่สำคัญอย่างหนึ่งในการศึกษาครั้งนี้คือ ดูเหมือนจะไม่มีข้อกังวลอย่างมีนัยสำคัญใด ๆ เกี่ยวกับความปลอดภัยของ CAPA-IVM ต่อพัฒนาการของเด็ก” ผลลัพธ์ในปัจจุบันช่วยยืนยันการค้นพบล่าสุดที่ว่า CAPA-IVM ไม่ก่อให้เกิดการเปลี่ยนแปลงของอีพิเจเนติกที่สำคัญ หรือทำให้เกิดข้อบกพร่องในโอโอไซต์²ที่เจริญเติบโตเต็มที่ในหลอดทดลอง Dr. Vuong เชื่อว่าการหาหลักฐานอย่างต่อเนื่องเกี่ยวกับ CAPA-IVM มีความสำคัญสำหรับแพทย์ที่กำลังพิจารณาวิธีการทางเลือกในการรักษาเกี่ยวกับภาวะเจริญพันธุ์ในปัจจุบัน
