Teen arrested after 3-year-old injured in shooting on northwest side of Milwaukee
A 16-year-old has been arrested after a 3-year-old was injured in a shooting on Milwaukee’s northwest side Thursday.
Police did not describe the circumstances of the incident but said officers were called to the 5700 block of North 95th Street at 9:30 p.m. A firearm was recovered and police continue to search for additional people involved in the shooting.
The 3-year-old was taken to a hospital and is expected to survive, police said. The Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office is reviewing potential charges against the 16-year-old boy.
Through the first five months of the year, minors accounted for almost 12% of all homicide and nonfatal shooting victims, and about 5% of all suspects, according to the latest data from the Milwaukee Homicide Review Commission.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact Milwaukee police at 414-935-7360, or to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 414-224-Tips or by using the P3 Tips app.

FBI got tip about Colorado nightclub shooting suspect a day before 2021 arrest
DENVER (AP) — Authorities said the person who would later kill five at a Colorado gay nightclub was on the FBI’s radar a day before being arrested for threatening to kill family members but agents closed out the case just weeks later.
The disclosure by the FBI to The Associated Press creates a new timeline for when law enforcement was first alerted to Anderson Lee Aldrich as a potential danger. Previously it was thought Aldrich only became known to authorities after making the threat on June 18, 2021.
That day, Aldrich’s grandparents ran from their Colorado Springs home and called 911, saying Aldrich was building a bomb in the basement and had threatened to kill them. Details of the case remain sealed, but an arrest affidavit verified by the AP detailed how Aldrich was upset the grandparents were moving to Florida because it would get in the way of Aldrich’s plans to conduct a mass shooting and bombing.
As part of the FBI’s probe, the agency said it coordinated with the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office, which had responded to the June 18, 2021, call from Aldrich’s grandparents and arrested Aldrich, now 22, on felony menacing and kidnapping charges. But about a month after getting the tip, the FBI closed its assessment of Aldrich, who is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns.
“With state charges pending, the FBI closed its assessment on July 15, 2021,” the FBI said.
Those charges were later dropped for unknown reasons. Under Colorado law, cases that are dismissed by either prosecutors or a judge are automatically sealed to prevent people from having their lives ruined if they do not end up being prosecuted. Authorities have cited the law in refusing to answer questions about the case but a coalition of media organizations, including the AP, has asked the court to unseal the records.
A spokesperson for the sheriff’s office, Sgt. Jason Garrett, declined to comment on the FBI’s statement or on whether his agency had any tips about Aldrich before Aldrich’s 2021 arrest, citing the sealing law.
The information conveyed to the FBI, which has not been previously reported, marks the earliest known instance of law enforcement officials being warned about Aldrich, and the shooting is the latest attack to raise questions about whether people who once caught the attention of law enforcement should have remained on the FBI’s radar.
On the night of Nov. 19, more than a year after the assessment was closed, authorities said Aldrich entered the Club Q gay nightclub in Colorado Springs while carrying an AR-15-style rifle and opened fire, killing five people and wounding 17 others before an Army veteran wrestled the attacker to the ground.
An FBI assessment is the lowest level, least intrusive and most elementary stage of an FBI inquiry. Such assessments are routinely opened after agents receive a tip and investigators routinely face a challenge of sifting through which of the tens of thousands of tips received every year could yield a viable threat.
There have been several high-profile examples of the FBI having received information about a gunman before a mass shooting. A month before Nikolas Cruz killed 17 people at a Florida high school, the bureau received a warning that he had been talking about committing a mass shooting. A man who massacred 49 people at an Orlando nightclub in 2016 and another who set off bombs in the streets of New York City the same year had each been looked at by federal agents but officials later determined they did not warrant continued law enforcement scrutiny.
FBI guidelines meant to balance national security with civil liberties protections impose restrictions on the steps agents may take during the assessment phase. Agents, for instance, may analyze information from government databases and open-source internet searches, and can conduct interviews during an assessment. But they cannot turn to more intrusive techniques, such as requesting a wiretap or internet communications, without higher levels of approval and a more solid basis to suspect a crime.
More than 10,000 assessments are opened each year. Many are closed within days or weeks when the FBI concludes there’s no criminal or national security threat, or basis for continued scrutiny. The system is meant to ensure that a person who has not broken the law does not remain under perpetual scrutiny on a mere hunch — and that the FBI can reserve its scarce resources for true threats.

Customers Will See New Savings On More Than 100 Everyday Products Beginning On September 28
ARLINGTON, Va., Sept. 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- On the heels of a new report issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics showing that the overall cost of groceries rose by 13.5% in the last year, Lidl US announced today that it will introduce rotating price cuts on more than 100 items in all of its 170+ stores.

Which tablets are best for travel and why?
Revenge travel is a thing. People want to make up for all the time they lost over these past couple of years by having a luxury vacation. Whether beaches, mountains or even a foreign country is your destination this year, you’ll want to pack accordingly. For many, that means bringing essential gadgets.
A tablet is ideal because it can do anything your laptop can and more. But not all tablets are ideal for travel. Size and weight can make the difference between convenience and burden, for instance, so you want to be sure you have a suitable model for travel.
Summer vacation essentials
When you go on a vacation, you need to pack a temporary life. This includes everything you need to live while you are gone. Some of us think we require a lot more than we really do. Others never bring enough. As with nearly everything, balance is the answer. Still, with summer, besides undergarments, toiletries, appropriate clothing, medicines and money, there are a few unique items you need to fit in your suitcase.
- Sunscreen
- Lip balm
- Sandals
- Bathing suits
- Towels
- A hat
- Sunglasses
- Beach toys
- Entertainment
Why bring a tablet on vacation?
If you have everything on your phone, you might wonder why you even need to bring a tablet on vacation. You probably don’t need a tablet if it’s just a day trip or even a weekend. However, once you get into the territory of staying for a week or more, you’ll find a tablet comes in handy.
Stream entertainment
There was a time when going on vacation meant you had access to things like movies and cable channels that you couldn’t get at home. Now, as long as you have connectivity and a device, you can access nearly any movie or TV show you want to watch, no matter where you are, even on a camping trip. A tablet has a larger screen than your phone, so it is much easier on your eyes, and more than one person can view it simultaneously.
Unlimited reading
With access to online books, you no longer have to worry about packing enough reading material for the entire trip. Even better, if you pick a book that doesn’t meet your expectations, you aren’t stuck finishing it. You can just move on and find a real page-turner.
Create in the moment
One of the best ways to get your creative juices flowing is to have a change of scenery. New locations spark new ideas. If you bring your tablet along, you don’t have to wait until you get home to let the muse take control. You can start creating when you are inspired. This can be writing poetry, drawing, composing a song or even finally starting that great American novel or screenplay that’s been living inside you for many years.
Pretend you aren’t on vacation
If you’re one of the many people working remotely, you know that you’re not limited to only working at home. With a tablet and connectivity, your boss doesn’t have to know you are finishing your work with your toes in the sand and a cool drink by your side. You could go away for weeks at a time and not have to worry about using up any of your PTO.
Considerations
Space
The first and foremost thought when packing is space. Fortunately, a tablet doesn’t take up much room, so it is easy to take anywhere. If screen size isn’t vital, you can purchase a tablet that isn’t much larger than a book. According to the FAA, a tablet is an approved carry-on item if you are flying, so you don’t even have to pack it in your luggage.
Weight
Weight is one thing you shouldn’t worry about with a tablet. Even the heaviest model will weigh less than two pounds, so that shouldn’t impact your packing.
Consider purchasing a tablet case
If you are going to be traveling with your tablet, even if it is water-resistant, dustproof and shockproof, it is best to put it in a tablet case. Not only will the case give you peace of mind when trying to cram your device in that already overfilled suitcase, but the best models add functionality, such as a keyboard or a stand that props the screen up for easy viewing.
Capabilities
To be of value on your vacation, the tablet you get needs to be able to do what you want it to do. While most models are fairly universal, make sure suitable apps are available. You don’t want to get to your destination and find you can’t open that urgent Word document from work.
Connectivity
If you plan ahead then connectivity won’t be as big of a deal. Yes, you will need to touch base with your work and stay connected via Slack or Discord, but you can do that on your phone. As far as entertainment goes, many streaming apps, such as Netflix, have a download option. This means you can download content before you leave, so you won’t have to worry about setting up a hot spot and having a strong signal. However, it does mean you will need a tablet with enough internal storage to download everything you want to watch and read while on vacation.
Price
While everyone has a different level of comfort, there is a greater risk of damage or theft while traveling. When going on vacation, you might have greater peace of mind knowing that you are bringing along an item that only costs a few hundred dollars, not a few thousand.
Best tablets for summer vacation

ATLANTA (AP) — The Washington Wizards spoiled Quin Snyder’s Atlanta coaching debut, getting 37 points from Bradley Beal and 28 from Kyle Kuzma in a 119-116 victory over the Hawks on Tuesday night.
Beal hit a pull-up jumper with 35.3 seconds left that gave the short-handed Wizards a 117-113 lead after they trailed nearly the entire second half.
Trae Young, who paced Atlanta with 31 points, responded with a contested 3-pointer that pulled the Hawks within one with 30.6 remaining.
But Beal went to work again. With the shot clock running down, he drove on Dejounte Murray, deking left before cutting right to bank in his final points of the night.
It was just enough. Young had a couple of chances to send the game to overtime, but both 3-pointers rimmed out before the horn sounded.
Luring Snyder back to the bench for his first time in 10 months, the Hawks are hoping he provides a spark for an underachieving team that seems headed for a second straight appearance in the play-in tournament.
He got a sampling of the challenge he faces.
With injured Kristaps Porzingis watching from bench, the Wizards knocked off the Hawks with essentially a two-man team at the offensive end.
Daniel Gafford, with 13 points, was the only other Washington player in double figures.
Snyder spent eight seasons as Utah’s coach before resigning last June after the Jazz were eliminated in the opening round of the playoffs.
The 56-year-old Snyder says he left coaching to spend more time with his family, but the chance to lead the talented but enigmatic Hawks lured him back to the sideline sooner than expected.
“This is a great opportunity for me,” Snyder said before the game. “I’m grateful for that. I’m going to enjoy it.”
Atlanta dumped Nate McMillan after limping into the All-Star break with a 29-30 record — far below what was expected from a team that reached the Eastern Conference final just two seasons ago.
Joe Prunty guided the Hawks to a pair of victories as interim coach before Snyder reached agreement on a five-year deal. Prunty remains with the team as Snyder’s top assistant.
Atlanta was eighth in the East coming into the night, 3 1/2 games behind Brooklyn for a top-six finish that would avoid the play-in tournament.
Washington was a half-game ahead of the Bulls for the final play-in berth.
TIP-INS
Wizards: Washington snapped a two-game losing streak. … Porzingis (sore left knee) and Monte Morris (lower back soreness) were both out for the second game in a row. … Gafford and Kuzma both had huge blocks down the stretch that helped the Wizards overtake the Hawks.
Hawks: Young committed a silly blunder at the end of the first half, needlessly fouling Delon Wright as he threw up a desperation heave from half-court just ahead of the buzzer. After reviewing the replay, the officials ruled the foul occurred 0.9 seconds ahead of the buzzer. Wright knocked down all three free throws to cut Atlanta’s lead to 56-52 at the break. … Atlanta briefly had a 10-point lead midway through the third quarter — the largest margin for either team. … Seven Hawks scored in double figures, including Clint Capela with 13 points to go along with 15 rebounds.
UP NEXT
Wizards: Return to D.C. for the start of a three-game homestand against the Toronto Raptors on Thursday night. Those same teams will meet again Saturday.
Hawks: Wrap up a five-game homestand wrapped around the All-Star break when they host the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday night. Atlanta hasn’t played a road game since Feb. 13.

It has been a tumultuous past few years for singer/dancer DaniLeigh to say the least. Once a protegeé to music legend Prince, the “Easy” hitmaker hasn’t, well, had it so easy following the very viral fallout with rapper baby daddy Da Baby — try saying that five times fast! — in addition to the ensuing bloody brawl between her brother and the emcee. Oh, and let’s not even mention her colorist controversy.
Although things were starting to look up for Dani, even nabbing choreography creds on Beyoncé’s current RENAISSANCE World Tour, that all came to a crash end over Memorial Day Weekend when she was involved in a DUI hit-and-run in Miami that left the victim with severe spine injuries.

DaniLeigh’s teary-eyed mugshot (seen above) may paint her as the pretty-eyed victim, but that was far from the case according to TMZ. Her arrest occurred early Tuesday morning (May 30) in Miami Beach, with police claiming the multifaceted entertainer was involved in a “high rate of speed and swerving” based on the accounts of several bystanders. The victim was reportedly dragged a whole block on his scooter before someone was able to flag down an officer and make a stop.
More details below, via TMZ:
“The officer claims she blew a 0.145 and 0.148, nearly twice the legal limit. Dani was cuffed and taken to jail, where she was booked on 3 felony charges … driving under the influence, leaving the scene of a crash with serious bodily injury, and DUI damage to property.
As for the person whom cops say was hit … cops claim they were treated at a local hospital, where they say they were told by docs that this man suffered a kidney laceration and a spinal fracture.”

As previously stated, DaniLeigh, born Danielle Leigh Curiel, shares a child turning two this August with the controversial rapper behind hits like “SUGE” and the Roddy Ricch-assisted “Rockstar.” Given the rocky state of their relationship as co-parents, it’s very likely that this ordeal will play into future custody battles.
We wish everyone in this unfortunate situation all the best, especially for DaniLeigh to understand how much worse this could’ve went based on a poor decision on her part. May the healing in regards to her personal issues be swift so this never happens again, even if that means having to deal with any and all legal repercussions.

Four movies in, Thor is still bringing the hammer down at the box office.
“ Thor: Love and Thunder ” earned $143 million in its opening weekend in North America, according to studio estimates Sunday. It’s a franchise best for the God of Thunder and another success story of the summer 2022 box office season.
The second Thor movie directed by Taika Waititi opened on 4,375 screens this weekend, starting with Thursday previews. It easily topped the box office, bumping “Minions: The Rise of Gru” into second place. Including international showings, where “Love and Thunder” opened in 47 territories starting in the middle of last week, its global total is already at $302 million.
“It’s another home run for Marvel,” said Paul Dergarabedian, the senior media analyst for Comscore. “It’s unheard of for a Marvel movie not to open at No. 1.”
The Thor franchise has grown with each subsequent film, which is both a rarity in franchise filmmaking in general but also not uncommon for those of the Marvel variety. The first film opened to $65.7 million in 2011, followed by $85.7 million for “The Dark World” in 2013 and $122.7 million for 2017’s “Ragnarok.” Waititi, who also directed “Ragnarok,” is widely credited with rejuvenating the series, infusing it with humor, irreverence and leaning into larger-than-life metal aesthetics.
Critics skewed mostly positive and the Rotten Tomatoes score is currently sitting at 68% fresh. Audiences, who gave the film a B+ CinemaScore, were heavily male (60%) and 53% were between the ages of 18 and 34, according to exit polls. IMAX reported that $23 million of the global total came from their screens.
“Love and Thunder” brings back Chris Hemsworth, Tessa Thompson and Natalie Portman, whose Jane Foster becomes the Mighty Thor. Russell Crowe also co-stars as Zeus and Christian Bale plays the villain Gorr the God Butcher. It also boasts the biggest production budget of the Thor films, at a reported $250 million.
And yet, it’s noteworthy that “Thor: Love and Thunder” isn’t even the biggest Marvel opening of the year. That title is held by “ Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, ” which debuted to $185 million in early May on the heels of the box office phenomenon that was “Spider-Man: No Way Home.”
The Minions carved out a second-place spot with $45.6 million in weekend two, bringing its domestic total to $210.1 million and its worldwide grosses to $399.9 million.
The summer’s workhorse “Top Gun: Maverick” placed third in its seventh weekend in theaters with $15.5 million. With its domestic total currently at $597.4 million, the Tom Cruise film is poised to cross $600 million by Monday — one of only 12 films ever to do so.
In limited release, the documentary “ Fire of Love ” launched this weekend in three locations and made an estimated $22,328, while Claire Denis’ “Both Sides of the Blade” earned $25,000 from four locations.
The weekend should net out with around $236.1 million total, which Dergarabedian said is “truly impressive.”
“Every week, the marketplace becomes more pre-pandemic like,” he said. “This feels like a traditional summer movie season weekend. It’s a huge difference from a year ago.”
The summer 2022 box office continues to look bright for both Hollywood and theater owners, up 217% from last summer. The year as a whole passed the $4 billion mark last week which is up 233% from last year but still trailing the last pre-pandemic box office year, 2019, by 30%.
“Audiences are embracing the movie theater experience with a greater enthusiasm,” Dergarabedian said. “By now, every demographic is interested in going back to theaters. The challenge for theaters going forward is just having enough new movies.”
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.
1. “Thor: Love and Thunder,” $143 million.
2. “Minions: The Rise of Gru,” $45.6 million.

SANTA FE, N.M. – Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham called for new gun control laws and greater accountability for firearm manufacturers while denouncing recent drive-by shootings of the homes of Democratic lawmakers in Albuquerque in her State of the State address Tuesday at the start of the annual legislative session.
New Mexico's Democratic-led Legislature is preparing to tap a multibillion-dollar budget surplus as it takes on daunting challenges of crime, lagging student achievement in schools and below-average workforce participation during its 60-day legislative session.
The governor and leading Democratic legislators want to expand preschool access, lengthen annual instructional time at public schools, increase public salaries and provide at least $1 billion in tax relief and rebates.
But concerns about politically motivated violence loomed over the proceedings after police on Monday arrested a failed Republican candidate in connection with a series of shootings targeting the homes of Democratic lawmakers in Albuquerque.
Addressing a joint session of the state House and Senate, Lujan Grisham condemned what she called “despicable acts of political violence” and a “sickening scourge of gun violence that has infected our nation.” She announced proposals to ban assault-style weapons, allow victims of gun violence to bring civil lawsuits against gun manufacturers, and crack down on black-market sales that funnel guns to ineligible buyers.
“We all know that we cannot keep our people safe, we cannot keep our police officers and their families safe, if weapons of war continue to flood our neighborhoods,” Lujan Grisham said.
“If we are bold and clear in our knowledge that now is the time to do the right thing, we can save lives and protect futures,” Lujan Grisham said. “I'm not going to let up and I know that there will be other ideas and other strategies, and I know that we're going to work together."
Republicans in the legislative minority also condemned the attack on politicians in Albuquerque — and said that gun control measures won't make people safer.
“I got concerned, I made sure that my own firearms were really close at hand,” said state Sen. Craig Brandt of Rio Rancho. “Putting in more gun-control laws doesn't allow us to protect ourselves.”
Republican state legislators hope to reinstate immunity from prosecution for policing agencies and tighten requirements for pretrial release of people charged of crimes.
Democratic Senate Majority Leader Peter Wirth of Santa Fe says he'll sponsor a bill that bans firearms at all polling locations in response to the fears and frustrations of election workers.
Lujan Grisham staked her reelection heavily on her support for preserving widespread access to abortion as a foundation of women’s rights and democracy following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision last year that overturned Roe v. Wade and left legalization up to the states.
Leading Democratic legislators hope to send her a bill that would prohibit restrictions on abortion by local governments and shield patients and abortion doctors from harassment by out-of-state interests.
New Mexico also is grappling with the aftermath of catastrophic 2022 wildfires linked to climate change and drought.
State legislators want to make the state more resilient to climate-related disasters by speeding up the delivery of federal disaster aid and allowing small water districts to band together as they rebuild from wildfires.
Lujan Grisham hopes to fund the first New Mexico-based corps of elite smokejumper firefighters to ensure a rapid response to future fires. On Tuesday, she proposed the creation of a $75 million trust fund to address root causes of water scarcity and climate change.
State government income is forecast to reach new heights — $12 billion in revenue during the fiscal year that runs from July 2023 though June 2024. That’s about $3.6 billion in excess of current annual spending commitments.
Lujan Grisham urged legislators to tap that windfall to back her “cradle-to-career” strategy of expanding free public education, with new investments this year in daycare, preschool and tuition-free college as enrollments swell at public universities.
“Our commitment to making education accessible and affordable is lifting families out of poverty,” Lujan Grisham said.
Legislators in the Republican minority say more public spending hasn't translated into greater student achievement on Lujan Grisham's watch. They want greater competition among K-12 schools, wider options for students — with public funding of private and parochial schools.
“I think more choice for families ... to have that power back in the hands of parents, to chose where their children will get the best quality education, is where we have to go,” Brandt said.
The governor and leading legislators are proposing a pay raise for state workers and public school educators of at least 4%. Taxpayers would pay for educators' individual health care premiums under a proposal from the governor.
Lawmakers also hope to sock away billions of dollars into specialized trust funds, and use future investment earnings to underwrite programs ranging from smoking cessation to highway construction. | 2023-01-18T07:40:19+00:00 | clickorlando.com | https://www.clickorlando.com/news/politics/2023/01/17/violence-looms-over-new-mexico-legislature-as-work-begins/ |
WASHINGTON (AP) — Oil and gas producers talk up technological breakthroughs they say will soon allow the world to drill and burn fossil fuels without worsening global warming. U.S. climate envoy John Kerry says the time is here for the industry to prove it can make the technology happen — at scale, affordably and quickly — to stave off climate disaster.
And Kerry says he has “serious questions” whether it can.
Kerry’s comments came in an interview with The Associated Press on one of the most crucial topics in the fight to slow global warming: the argument from oil and gas producers that they will soon have technology in place to extract the climate-damaging gases that make fossil fuels the main culprit in climate change, allowing companies to keep pumping crude and natural gas worry-free.
Kerry said the ideal solution is a fast global switch to renewable energy, but oil and gas states and companies have a right to give their claim of technological rescue a try.
“If you’re able to abate the emissions, capture it,” Kerry said this past week at his climate team’s offices at the State Department. “But we don’t have that at-scale yet. And we can’t sit here and just pretend we’re going to automatically have something we don’t have today. Because we might not. It might not work.”
Globally, the point matters because oil and gas companies point to the hope of technology that can one day scour away most of the climate-wrecking carbon to stave off public and government pressure for the world to pivot faster away from fossil fuels and to solar, wind and other cleaner energy.
“What they’re banking on is that they’re going to be able to do the emissions capture,” Kerry said of oil and gas companies. He ticked off the stages of operations that would involve.
“If you can do those things, you may be able to make it economically competitive,” he said, adding, “I have some serious questions about whether it will be price-competitive.”
Especially since 2015, when the United States and nearly 200 other governments committed to cut emissions to avoid the most disastrous scenarios of global warming, oil producers have spent hundreds of millions of dollars in public campaigns portraying themselves as climate-friendly. Industry ads and social media campaigns often suggest the carbon-purging technology is already on the job, extracting the climate-damaging gases from oil and gas facilities’ around the world.
“CO2 capture and transportation technologies have been operating safely across the globe and in the US for many years,” the website of oil giant BP says.
“Technologies capture CO2 emissions at source or directly from the air,” Saudi state oil giant Aramco says, describing the carbon then being stored safely underground or turned into “useful products.”
In reality, the technology to capture one major climate-damaging gas, methane, from oil and gas operations does exist, and is awaiting investment to roll out at scale. But the technology to capture the biggest climate agent, carbon dioxide, remains limited in scale and costly, and often energy-intensive in its own right.
The International Energy Agency, some national governments globally, and many climate scientists and advocates are adamant that while carbon-capturing technology will play a role, oil and gas production itself must be phased out.
“Actual experience has been that commercial-scale carbon capture projects have fallen far, far short of the claims,” said David Schlissel of the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis research group.
“I just think it’s foolish to think that we can keep pumping the stuff, CO2, methane, into the atmosphere, and that at some point we’ll be able to capture it,” Schlissel said.
A spokeswoman with the American Petroleum Institute trade group declined comment. An industry study group in 2019 called for heavy government funding to capture a quarter of current greenhouse gases within 15 years.
– API supports federal policies to achieve the “at-scale phase” of CCUS commercial deployment,
The fight — fast production cuts versus technological rescue — promises to come to a head this year.
Annual U.N.-sponsored climate talks meant to help keep countries on track to meet their pledges to cut emissions are being held this year in the United Arab Emirates.
The talks will be hosted by Sultan al-Jaber, the chief executive officer of the Emirates’ state oil company. Like the U.S. and several other countries, the Gulf nation is expanding drilling even as it champions the climate cause.
Going into November’s climate talks, al-Jaber is calling for a phase-out of ‘’fossil fuel emissions,” leaving it ambiguous whether he means a ramping up of technology or is open to some production cuts.
At the 2021 U.N. climate talks in Scotland, countries for the first time agreed to phase down the global use of coal. Talks the next year in Egypt saw a major push for a commitment to phase out oil and gas, but it failed.
While nonbinding, any agreement out of this year’s climate talks that the world should start phasing out oil and gas production would be a first. It would put governments and the industry on the spot to comply.
Kerry rejected the idea of putting a deadline on phasing out oil and gas production. How fast that can happen depends partly on how fast the world moves to electric vehicles and renewable-fueled power grids, he said.
Instead, he said, this year’s climate talks will “quite possibly” produce an international agreement to phase out the use of “unabated” oil and natural gas, meaning oil and gas where the carbon emissions are not captured. This could disappoint those calling for fast cuts in oil and gas production.
Kerry said the deadline to watch is 2030. By then, the U.N.’s top climate panel says, the world will need to have nearly halved climate-damaging emissions to stave off the more devastating scenarios of global warming.
“We can’t let the wish or the hope govern common sense here,” Kerry said. “If we know that we can get the job done by deploying more renewables and current technology, we ought to be doing that.” | 2023-05-15T05:51:40+00:00 | upmatters.com | https://www.upmatters.com/news/business/ap-business/kerry-challenges-oil-industry-to-prove-its-promised-tech-rescue-for-climate-wrecking-emissions/ |
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — U.S. Rep. Mary Peltola, the first Alaska Native to serve in Congress, received a hero’s welcome Thursday when the Democrat gave the keynote address at the Alaska Federation of Natives conference in Anchorage.
Those attending the largest annual gathering of Natives in Alaska showered her with standing ovations, spontaneous songs and gifts, including a bolo tie worn by her Republican predecessor, the late Don Young.
Young’s daughter Joni Nelson presented the tie to Peltola, saying it was a passing of the mantle to her. The surprise presentation came after Young’s adult children joined Peltola on stage as she paid tribute to Young, who held Alaska’s sole seat in the House for 49 years until his death in March.
Peltola defeated Republicans Sarah Palin and Nick Begich in an August special election to finish out Young’s term. Those three, along with Libertarian Chris Bye, are competing for a full two-year term in the November election.
Another of Young’s daughters, Dawn Vallely, later said on stage that her father would have been happy with the results of the special election, won by Peltola.
Nelson wore the white beaded tie — which features the state of Alaska in blue beads — onstage but removed it to place it around Peltola’s neck when she greeted the family.
“Oh, my gosh, this means the world to me,” Peltola told The Associated Press about receiving Young’s signature bolo tie.
“I ran on continuing the legacy of Don,” she said. “I really think that we would not be the state that we are without his leadership and the service that he provided for 49 years, and I want to keep that going.”
Another emotional moment came when a group of delegates to the convention spontaneously broke into song for her. When they finished, another group began singing, followed by a third group in the cavernous downtown Anchorage convention center.
Peltola, who is Yup’ik, said the songs were significant because they contained “all their prayers, and their songs of strength, faith, love, hope, unity and wisdom.”
In lighter moments, several delegates to the convention posed for selfies with Peltola.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) returned to her post on the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday and greenlit the passage of three judicial nominees who had been stalled during her lengthy health-related absence.
Feinstein appeared roughly 90 minutes into the meeting to an ovation from senators and staff, and the nomination votes were held shortly after, putting the nominees on track for votes on the Senate floor in the coming weeks.
“I believe I speak for all of us with feelings of relief and support for our colleague, Sen. Feinstein, who has returned to Washington. I know that she’s been through some significant health challenges and we all wish her the very best,” Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said to open the hearing.
Those who were finally voted through the committee were Charnelle Bjelkengren, tapped to be a district court judge in Washington state; Marian Gaston, nominated to become a district judge in California; and Kato Crews, who was nominated to be a district judge in Colorado.
The three advanced with only Democratic support as all had earned unanimous GOP opposition on the panel. Bjelkengren stumbled during her confirmation hearing when asked what Article 5 of the Constitution is, Gaston was grilled during her hearing over her past writings about sex offenders, and Crews was unable to define what a Brady Motion is.
Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Mike Lee (R-Utah) laced into the qualifications of the partisan nominees ahead of the vote.
Prior to Feinstein’s arrival, the panel advanced three more judicial nominations with the help of some Republicans on the committee: Jeremy Daniel to become a district judge in Illinois, Brendan Hurson to become a district judge in Maryland, and Darrel Papillion to be a district judge in Louisiana.
Among those voting to advance them were Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), the committee’s ranking member, Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), and John Kennedy (R-La.).
One judicial nominee before the committee was still unable to receive a vote. Michael Delaney, who has been tapped to fill a spot on the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals, remains in limbo over his handling of a sexual assault case at a boarding school in New Hampshire.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) told The Hill Wednesday that he remains undecided on Delaney’s nomination.
Prior to Thursday’s meeting, the panel voted out eight additional nominees with bipartisan support in recent weeks without Feinstein’s presence.

A redesigned BMW 5-Series debuts in May, BMW said on Wednesday, and this time it will include a new electric variant to be badged the i5.
The global market launch is locked in for October, though specific timing for the U.S. market hasn’t been announced. Expect the new 5-Series to reach local showrooms as a 2024 model.
Prototypes for both the 5-Series and the i5 have been spotted testing. Also out testing are prototypes for an i5 Touring wagon, as well as the next generation of the M5 super sedan, which will pack plug-in hybrid power.
While the i5 won’t get a full-fledged M variant, BMW will offer an M Performance version to be badged as the i5 M60. This model will come standard with all-wheel drive and adaptive dampers, and will likely have an output matching or coming close to the 610 hp of the iX M60.
The new 5-Series will represent the eighth generation of the nameplate. BMW said the range will be more dynamic and more comfortable than the current generation, and it will feature a digital dash running an updated version of the iDrive interface (version 8.5). The updates are aimed at making the interface faster and more intuitive to use.
BMW will also offer the latest version of its automated driver-assist system for highways, dubbed Highway Assistant. Part of the Driving Assistant Professional package, Highway Assistant will control the vehicle in a single lane at speeds of up to 85 mph on certain highway types. The driver will still need to monitor things at all times and take over at a moment’s notice.
Highway Assistant will also perform automated lane changes. To initiate the maneuver, all the driver has to do is look at the side mirror in the direction of the lane he or she wants to enter. A camera tracks the driver’s eye and when it detects the driver is looking at a side mirror, it will prompt the driver to give the go ahead for an automatic lane change, which will then be performed by the vehicle if the traffic situation allows. The driver can also initiate the maneuver using the turn signals.
Underpinning the new 5-Series will be the latest version of BMW Group’s CLAR platform for rear-wheel-drive vehicles. In addition to regular gas and diesel powertrains, the platform supports mild-hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and fully electric configurations.
Production will be handled at BMW Group’s plant in Dingolfing, Germany, starting this summer. The plant, which turned 50 this year, is also where BMW builds the 7-Series, 8-Series, and iX.
The i5 isn’t the only new electric BMW coming this year. BMW is developing an electric iX2 option for a redesigned X2 due out later this year.

A copy of the Complaint can be obtained at www.pomerantzlaw.com. To discuss this action, contact Robert S. Willoughby at newaction@pomlaw.com or 888.476.6529 (or 888.4-POMLAW), toll-free, Ext. 7980. Those who inquire by e-mail are encouraged to include their mailing address, telephone number, and the number of shares purchased.
Bird is purportedly a micromobility company engaged in delivering electric transportation solutions for short distances. Bird's offerings include its core vehicle-sharing business and operations ("Sharing"), and sales of Bird-designed vehicles for personal use.
The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and financial results. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Bird was improperly recording revenue from its Sharing business ("Sharing Revenue") for certain trips by its customers where collection was not probable; (ii) as such, Bird overstated its Sharing Revenue for the relevant quarters and fiscal year during the Class Period; (iii) Bird failed to disclose that its internal controls were not effective as they relate to calculating Sharing Revenue recognition; (iv) as a result, Bird would need to restate its previously disclosed Sharing Revenue; and (v) as a result, Defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On November 14, 2022, Bird disclosed in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") that "[o]n November 11, 2022, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors . . . , after discussion with management, determined that (i) the Company's audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and for the years then ended, and quarterly periods within those years, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the [SEC] on March 15, 2022, (ii) its condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2022, and for the three months then ended, included in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 16, 2022 and (iii) its condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2022, and for the three and six months then ended, included in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 15, 2022 (collectively, the 'Original Filings', and each such quarterly or annual period covered therein, an 'impacted period'), should no longer be relied upon." Bird further advised that "[t]he determination results from an error identified in connection with the preparation of the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2022, and the three and nine months then ended, related to its business system configuration that impacted the recognition of revenue on certain trips completed by customers of its Sharing business ('Rides') for which collectability was not probable."
On this news, Bird's share price plummeted $0.069 per share, or 15.94%, from the prior trading date to close on November 14, 2022 at $0.364 per share, damaging investors.

Upstate shelters say “no more room” for animals ahead of Hurricane Ian
GREENVILLE, S.C. (FOX Carolina) - Shelters across the Upstate tell FOX Carolina, they have no more room for animals ahead of Hurricane Ian.
The Spartanburg Humane Society usually said, if disaster strikes, they are able to jump in and take animals in need into their shelter temporarily. However, this time that’s not the case.
Angel Cox, CEO of the shelter said “It really is extremely upsetting when you can’t do the mission that you’re meant to do because is to help other animals because you are full.”
She said the shelter is already over capacity with roughly 535 cats and dogs combined. Cox said there is also a waiting list of 170 dogs and 60 cats.
Cox said although they are over 110% full if push comes to shove, she will do anything to help those animals.
“Right now we don’t have room and were not opening our doors saying bring your animals on,” said Cox. But of course, if we get into a situation where a specific need arises where there is no other option, we will find a place. If we do have to put it in a temporary kennel or permanent place or foster home for it”
Cox said besides lack of space the shelter does not have enough employees to take care of the animals. If you would like to apply, you can check their job postings here.

UNITED NATIONS — In an escalation of Russia’s anger at Ukraine and its Western backers, Russia refused to speak at a U.N. Security Council meeting called to disuss Moscow’s recent devastating attacks on the key port of Odesa immediately following its refusal to extend the Black Sea grain deal.
The Ukrainian government has cracked down on the Ukrainian Orthodox Church over its historic ties to the Russian Orthodox Church, whose leader, Patriarch Kirill, supported Russian President Vladimir Putin over the invasion of Ukraine.
Polyansky accused the UK of bias, censorship and obstruction for limiting the number of briefers.
Deputy British ambassador James Kariuki responded that because of a tight time schedule to fit in two council meetings, the UK had offered a compromise to allow a third Russian briefer to submit a statement to the council, which he said was “not unreasonable.”
Polyansky was not satisfied, and Kariuki then put Russia’s proposal to have the archbishop speak to a vote. Russia got support only from China and Brazil, with the 12 other council members abstaining.
Polyansky called the council’s refusal to allow the archbishop to speak an “egregious” example of double standards on human rights and freedom of religion.
As “a sign of protest,” he said, Russia wouldn’t speak in the Ukraine-backed council session called by Ukraine to take up the Odesa attacks.
The meeting on the Orthodox Church then went ahead. The director of the U.N. Alliance of Civilizations, Nihal Saad, told the council that the division between Ukraine’s Orthodox bodies “has existed for decades.” But she said it has been exacerbated since the February 2022 Russian invasion and has “reverberated worldwide as Orthodox churches have struggled with how and whether to take sides.”
Saad said the “heartbreaking” damage to Odesa’s historic church, the Transfiguration Cathedral, caused by a Russian missile strike Sunday was condemned by many, including the U.N. secretary-general. The cathedral is in Odesa’s historic city center that is a UNESCO world heritage site and had been largely spared since the beginning of the war.
Saad lamented that it was one of 116 religious sites damaged since the invasion, according to a preliminary assessment by the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.
In her briefing, Saad cited restrictions to freedom of religion by both Russia and Ukraine since the invasion, saying “the politicization of religion in the war in Ukraine fuels intercommunal tensions, stokes fear and triggers violence.”
Polyansky called the devastation to the cathedral “a horrible tragedy” and reiterated Russia’s claim that the cathedral was damaged by a piece from Ukraine’s anti-air defenses — not a Russian missile. If a Russian missile targeted the cathedral, he said, “then there would be nothing left of the cathedral at all.”
The Russian deputy ambassador left the council chamber at the end of the session.
The council meeting that followed on the Russian attacks on Odesa came days after President Vladimir Putin pulled Russia out of the Black Sea Grain Initiative, a wartime deal that enabled Ukraine to export more than 32,000 tons of foodstuff to many countries facing the threat of hunger.
In addition to severely damaging the cathedral, the Russian attacks crippled significant parts of export facilities in Odesa and nearby Chornomorsk, and destroyed 60,000 tons of grain, according to Ukraine’s Agriculture Ministry.
The council heard from 14 members, almost all condemning the damage to Odesa.
U.S. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield said that “Russia is hell-bent on preventing Ukrainian grain from reaching global markets” and that “the world is paying the price for Russia’s barbaric attacks.”
She accused Russia of “weaponizing grain” and cynically using Russian-produced grain as leverage to win the support of other countries.
Ukrainian Ambassador Sergiy Kyslytsya, the last speaker, told the council that Russian missiles, including anti-ship missiles, hit 29 historical and cultural landmarks in Odesa.
He said Russia’s blockade of Ukrainian ports, destruction of their infrastructure, obstruction of grain exports, and intimidation of foreign merchant vessels should be considered an attack on freedom of navigation.
“These actions also aim at eliminating a market competitor, deliberately raising world food prices and making a profit at the expense of the millions of people around the world who will suffer,” Kyslytsya said.
A junior Russian diplomat sat in Russia’s chair during the Odesa session and left the chamber when it ended — never having uttered a word. | 2023-07-26T22:13:16+00:00 | washingtonpost.com | https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/07/26/russia-ukraine-un-security-council-odesa-orthodox/db1e9fe6-2bff-11ee-a948-a5b8a9b62d84_story.html |

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A former U.S. president has trumped all other write-in candidates for a seat on the Hubbard Fire District board in Oregon.
Following the Oregon Special Election held on Tuesday, May 16, the Statesman Journal reports that five write-in candidates received two votes for Hubbard Fire District Board Director Position No. 3.
Fire Chief Michael Kahrmann says 45th President Donald Trump was one of those candidates.
Officials rolled a 12-sided die multiple times to determine which of the individuals would take over the position. After representatives stood in for the other five candidates, none of whom were present during the meeting, Trump was declared the winner of the tiebreaker.
“The next step for the Hubbard Fire District is to determine if any of the other candidates are interested in the position,” Kahrmann told Nexstar’s KOIN. “There is a requirement that Board Directors must either live in or own property in the Hubbard Fire District.”
The district serves about 5000 residents in seven square miles of western Oregon, compared to Portland Fire and Rescue’s service area of 150 square miles with more than 580,000 residents.
With a permanent residence at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, Trump hasn’t announced any plans to relocate to Hubbard — or neighboring towns Woodburn or Aurora.
However, Trump has announced his 2024 re-election run for the presidency. He also currently faces 37 charges for mishandling classified documents at his Florida home, making him the first former president in U.S. history to have a federal case against him.
Hubbard Fire District’s next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, July 12, at the Hubbard Fire Station. Officials are expected to decide who takes on the open board position at the meeting.
The Statesman Journal named Jerry Cox, Rocky Sherwood, Paula Smith and Bob Banks as the remaining write-in candidates. | 2023-06-30T12:59:55+00:00 | kfor.com | https://kfor.com/news/nexstar-media-wire/former-president-donald-trump-wins-seat-on-oregon-fire-district-board/ |
ZUG, Switzerland, June 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Landlord Go is a revolutionary augmented reality geolocation property trading game which is the biggest of its kind in the world. Every day, it allows 6 million players to buy, sell, or even collect rent on some of the most recognizable landmarks and buildings on the planet, such as the Eiffel Tower or Empire State Building. Landlord Go has transformed the gaming landscape and a new project is set to be released: Reality NFT, powered by Golem Network's decentralized solutions. Now, engaging with premium content on Landlord Go will generate passive income for Reality NFT holders.
Golem Network is a decentralized open-source platform designed for sharing computer resources. Thanks to Golem's architecture, it has provided Reality NFT with a platform that handles backend tasks, including access to blockchain and the calculation of passive income for NFT owners, thus enabling the creation of Reality's NFT ecosystem.
"Because of its decentralized nature, the Golem Network is a natural choice when it comes to hosting gateways to the blockchain. Golem's discovery mechanism allows it to avoid centralization points which are typical for web2 solutions. As a consequence of this approach it is much easier to assure permanent access to a service hosted on Golem," said Paweł Burgchardt - Chief Product Officer at Golem Factory.
Sieciech Czajka - Senior Software Engineer at Golem Factory, added: "The Golem Network allows hosting various applications ranging from batch processing (eg. scientific calculations, rendering) to service-like backends. Once demand for calculations is rising it is really easy to scale up by ordering more providers and deploying additional instances of a service on them. We are currently working closely together with Reality NFT to help them take advantage of decentralized computing and apply this technology to strengthen their backend."
"In the course of developing the Golem platform, our R&D team has been conducting research in various areas of cryptoeconomy and mechanism design. Through this research we have amassed a substantial body of experience that we are now happy to share with our partners. Similarly as with Golem, our goal is to lay solid foundations for a sustainable economy and help Reality Games create user value," said Marcin Benke - R&D Advisor at Golem Factory.
Soon the Golem Network will present more fascinating projects. In the meantime, the company runs a contest where users can win $1500 for an NFT from OpenSea. You can find more information at realitynft.golem.network.

Market drivers include climate change and decarbonization efforts; Increased market opportunities for products to meet changing regional needs
BOULDER, Colo., Feb. 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- A new report from Guidehouse Insights examines the different types of residential HVAC (heating and cooling), with regional analyses segmented by five world regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa.
Although the residential HVAC market has grown continuously with technological advances in heating and cooling, its growth potential remains substantial, particularly in developing regions in extremely hot or cold climates. According to a new report from Guidehouse Insights, global market revenue for residential HVAC is anticipated to grow from $164.9 billion in 2022 to $222.9 billion in 2031 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.4%.
According to the International Energy Agency, most homes in "hot countries" are still without a first air conditioner (AC). The percentage of households equipped with AC for select countries in 2018 showed that the adoption rate for emerging countries was still low, though developed countries showed a much higher adoption rate. Similarly, emerging countries in cold climates offer significant market opportunities for heating.
"If HVAC industry stakeholders are to take advantage of this market opportunity, they must consider suitable solutions for entry into multiple local markets, since no one solution fits all global regions," says Young Hoon Kim, senior research analyst with Guidehouse Insights. "HVAC systems that suit local needs will likely vary from region to region and culture to culture, as will sales channels and installation process."
Additionally, climate change and decarbonization efforts require sustainable heating and cooling solutions, which will depend, in part, on suiting an HVAC solution to a region. This will require considering and combining multiple solutions for decarbonizing residential HVAC systems, according to the report.
The report, Market Data: Residential HVAC, reviews the different types of residential HVAC (heating and cooling), with regional analyses segmented by five world regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Global market outlooks, broken out by segment and region, extend through 2031. An executive summary of the report is available for free download on the Guidehouse Insights website.

BR area heats up as tropics disturbance makes Texas landfall
BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - It was another hot one yesterday with highs reaching the low 90s in Baton Rouge. As for the rain amounts in the last 24 hours, they were generally light and below a half an inch.
Today, we’ll have a decreasing chance of showers and storms, with only a 30% chance, mainly in the afternoon.
Otherwise, Sunday will be hot in the low 90s under a mix of sun and clouds. Rain chances are dropping in the next few days due to the tropical disturbance that made landfall in Texas this morning.
That system will take most of the moisture away from our area in the next few days. Since this feature will keep us a bit drier, we’ll be hotter going into next week. Rain chances stay low early week, then rise back up again later in the ten-day forecast.

Former Riverstone Holdings COO of Credit Joins Petra as Managing Director
NEW YORK, Feb. 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Petra Funds Group ("Petra") today announced that Adam Weiss has joined the firm as Managing Director and Head of Credit. Mr. Weiss previously worked for Riverstone Holdings as the COO of Credit.
The new appointment corresponds with the expansion of Petra's private credit fund administration business, which has nearly doubled in size over the last twelve months. Mr. Weiss' experience building and effectively running the credit operations for a multi-national private investment firm will offer Petra's clients unrivaled expertise and is consistent with Petra's strategy of engaging seasoned professionals to become a true extension of their clients' finance teams. He will also offer Petra clients a best-in-class loan portfolio monitoring process tailored to track loan covenants, interest rate step-ups, post-closing obligations, financial reporting accuracy, borrowers' overall health, and other fully customizable needs.
Peter Haskopoulos, Managing Partner, said: "The need for specialized fund administration solutions delivered by experts has never been greater for credit funds. Implementing and running robust investment operations for an equity fund is very different from doing so for a credit fund, and there are few firms with teams who have actually scaled credit businesses from the inside. Adding Adam to our leadership team will help us continue to deliver best-in-breed fund administration solutions to global credit investment managers, including fund operations consulting, process development and implementation, fund administration, and reporting."
Prior to joining Petra, Mr. Weiss served as the COO of Credit for Riverstone Holdings, where he provided management and product expertise and led the efforts to improve the firm's credit offerings. While at Riverstone, he assisted in developing a robust portfolio monitoring and risk management framework, which was crucial to efficiently growing and scaling the credit business. In addition, he acted as a liaison between the credit investment professionals, the accounting team, and third-party service providers. Mr. Weiss was directly involved with managing liquidity and financing needs, valuation, counterparty relationship management/marketing efforts, trade allocations, settlements, FX, and operational due diligence.
"Adam is a long-time friend and leader in the credit space, and I'm delighted to welcome him to the Petra team," said Stephen Coats, Managing Partner. "We have been successful in establishing Petra as a different kind of fund administrator, one that puts professionals in place who have played on the field before to deliver solutions that private investment funds require to scale their operations. Adam's experience combined with the secular shifts towards private credit creates an opportunity to expand Petra's credit fund administration offering and deliver institutional-grade solutions for managers."
Adam Weiss added, "Petra has established a reputation for providing best-in-class solutions for global private equity, venture capital, and credit funds. I'm excited to work alongside Pete and Steve again and help build on the successful platform they've created."

The New York Film Critics Circle has named “ Tár ” as its best picture of the year, with Todd Field’s contemporary drama about a renowned conductor and composer also nabbing best actress for Cate Blanchett’s leading performance.
The group met Friday in New York to vote on and announce its selections for the year.
Best director went to S. S. Rajamouli for the Telugu-language action film “ RRR.” Laura Poitras’ Nan Goldin documentary “ All the Beauty and the Bloodshed ” was named best nonfiction film and “EO,” a Polish drama about a donkey, won best foreign language film.
Colin Farrell won best actor for two of his performances this year, in Kogonada’s future-set sci-fi drama “ After Yang,” in which he plays a father trying to repair his young daughter’s android, and in Martin McDonagh’s “ The Banshees of Inisherin,” where he is suddenly defriended by his longtime pal (Brendan Gleeson).
McDonagh also won best screenplay for the film about the ripple effects the friendship breakup has on the inhabitants of a small island off the west coast of Ireland in 1923.
Farrell, Blanchett, McDonagh and Poitras all also won awards at the Venice Film Festival in September.
Ke Huy Quan was named best supporting actor for his turn in “Everything Everywhere All At Once,” close on the heels of his Gotham Award, while Keke Palmer got best supporting actress for Jordan Peele’s thriller “Nope.”
“Today’s NYFCC winners reflect the broad range of our tastes, as well as what’s exciting audiences at cinemas today,” NYFCC Chair Jordan Hoffman said in a statement.
The group is known for spreading awards across a wide swath of the year’s films: Even “Top Gun: Maverick” picked up an award, for Claudio Miranda’s cinematography.
Other winners included Charlotte Wells' “ Aftersun,” selected as best first film, and Dean Fleischer-Camp's “ Marcel the Shell with Shoes On ” for best animated film.
The jailed Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi was also singled out for a special award “for his dogged bravery as an artist, and for the humanity and beauty of a body of work created under the most oppressive circumstances.”
The New York Film Critics Circle, founded in 1935, is the oldest critics group in the country, with members from newspapers, magazines and online publications. The group will hand out its awards at a dinner in early January.
Last year, the group chose Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s “Drive My Car” as its best picture and Kelly Reichardt’s “First Cow” the year before that. | 2022-12-02T20:59:11+00:00 | wsls.com | https://www.wsls.com/entertainment/2022/12/02/new-york-film-critics-circle-names-tar-best-picture/ |
With high school’s football regular season only a week away, teams get their first chance this week to prepare against other teams.
On Thursday, Union will host the Stan Martin Gridiron Classic as a pair of 6AI powers each face an Arkansas team. At 6:45 p.m., Owasso meets Springdale Har-Ber, followed by the other half-game between Union and Bentonville at 8. Varsity scrimmages start at 5:15 p.m.
The event has been renamed this year for Martin, who died last December.
“Stan Martin humbly and proudly served as the Union Football Booster Club president for 13 years, most of those when he didn’t even have a player in the program,” Union athletic director Emily Barkley said. “Stan was on the sidelines for every Union game. He traveled to road games and playoff games, posting score updates on social media. You could find him on the sideline with his iPad and Union football hat on. Naming the annual Gridiron Classic after Stan was a way for us to honor his legacy and keep our friend’s memory alive.”

Speakers include TU head coaches Eric Konkol and Angie Nelp, Rogers State head coach Justin Barkley, Northeastern State head coach Ja Havens, Alvin “Pooh” Williamson and Dawkins.
“We want this to educate young coaches at the high school level or small colleges, who want to move up,” said Dawkins, who won two state titles as a coach in Michigan and his 2008 Saginaw team with Draymond Green was ranked No. 4 by USA Today. Dawkins will speak during a session on “Politics of Coaching a Possible Pro.”
Dawkins said he has been surprised in the three years since he moved back to Oklahoma about the lack of recruiting respect from major colleges that high school basketball players here receive. Dawkins, who has been a major college assistant, wants the symposium to educate coaches on how to promote their players better to colleges.

Conference call will be held on August 30, 2022 at 11AM ET
VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Zoomd Technologies Ltd. (TSXV: ZOMD) (OTC: ZMDTF) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Zoomd Ltd. (collectively, "Zoomd" or the "Company"), the marketing technology (MarTech) user-acquisition and engagement platform, today reported its financial results for the three months ended June 2022. The Company's financial statements and management discussion and analysis ("MD&A") are available on SEDAR under the Company's profile.
Key Highlights
- 2Q22 revenues increased 45% YOY to $16.2M. Strong revenue results were driven primarily by the onboarding of new clients in recent months, growth in spending of existing legacy clients and expansion into growth geographies such as Latin America and Asia.
- Achieved positive Adjusted EBITDA of $1.5M or 9% of sales during 2Q22.
- Operating profit was $20K for 2Q22 compared to an operating loss of $621K in 2Q21, primarily as the result of higher salaries and bonus payments.
- Achieved positive cash flow from operations of $2.7M in 2Q22.
- Ended 2Q22 with a cash balance of $5.1M and no long-term debt.
- For the first time, the Company is expected to generate an annual recurring revenue (ARR) of $3M for 2022.
Management Commentary
Our current clients are continuing to be satisfied with results that Zoomd brings to their user acquisition efforts, and we have a strong pipeline of new customers. Our platform has been integral in enabling our clients to manage their multiple campaigns on a single system, allowing for greater time saving and efficiency with real-time control. Our platform enables our customers to grow their user acquisition programs with limited additional resources, giving the ability to scale immediately by demand.
"We are excited to report another strong quarter, continuing our momentum which began in early 2021. Revenues in 2Q22 increased 45% year over year, on top of the 97% increase we achieved in 2Q21. Said Ofer Eitan, Zoomd CEO "While our growth continues to outpace the overall AdTech industry, we are not fully immune to the recent global slowdown, especially in areas of Fintech and Cryptocurrency. The Fintech and Cryptocurrency sectors are an important portion of our revenue base; however, in recent months we have further diversified our business by increasing our exposure to sectors such as education, E-commerce and gaming.
The integration of Albert, an artificial intelligence marketing platform for advertisers, is progressing well. We are in the technology integration stage, while continuing to serve Albert's customers, including leading fortune 500 corporations. Albert drives fully autonomous digital campaigns for some of the world's leading brands. We expect to begin efforts of cross selling our services in the upcoming months.
Amit Bohensky, Chairman, stated the following: "We are continuing to progress in our goal to launch our self-serve products in 2022. Our self-serve products are expected to unlock our capacity to attract additional small and mid-ranged customers and to generate ongoing recurring revenues.
We remain optimistic about Zoomd's long-term growth prospects. However, given the recent slowdown in global markets, we believe it is prudent to take a conservative stance on our near-term expectations. As such, we are revising our 2022 revenue guidance to be in the range of $65M to $70M. Our focus remains to increase our market share while strengthening our balance sheet.
In summary, we remain pleased with the pace of our business, as we see continued strong demand for our services from both new and existing clients. Companies are seeing the results and value of our unique platform and are further allocating larger positions of their budgets to Zoomd. We remain excited about our growth prospects including the launch of our self-serve products."
Second Quarter 2022 Highlights (All Figures in Thousands in USD)
- For the three months ended June 30, 2022, revenues were $16,205, as compared to $11,157 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of 45% year-over-year. The increase in revenues is primarily the result of customer acquisitions in the growth sectors such as Fintech, E-commerce and gaming, as well as expansion in new geographies such as Latin America, Asia and North America. In addition, our existing customers have allocated in increasing portion of their user acquisition budgets to Zoomd, as they have witnessed strong ROI on their spending.
- Gross profit margin was 29% for the three months ended June 30, 2022, versus 33% for the same period last year, reflecting more social media advertising portion that is known to have lower profit margins.
- Research and Development (R&D) expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 were $1,521, a 52% increase YOY, primarily reflecting salaries to new employees who joined the Company, as well as salaries and retention payments to Albert employees.
- Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 were $3,092, a 52% increase YOY, primarily reflecting increases in sales department bonuses as the result of increased revenues, and the expenses incurred as a result of new employees joining the Company, primarily after the acquisition of Albert.
- Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $1,520 as compared with Adjusted EBITDA of $1,318 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The improvement in the Adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributed to the significant increase in revenue.
- Operating profit was $20K for Q2 2022, compared to an operating loss of $621K in Q2 2021, and was primarily attributed to increased salaries and bonuses for current as well as Albert employees.
- As of June 30, 2022, the Company's cash and cash equivalents amounted to $5 million, and no debt.
Fiscal 2022 Outlook Update
Management now expects that revenues in fiscal 2022 to be in a range of $65M to $70M, representing a year-over-year growth of 25% to 35%. The revised outlook reflects the global financial slowdown which is affecting advertising budgets. The outlook is based on assumptions, each of which management considers to be reasonable which are set out in the MD&A.

CAUTION REGARDING NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES
This press release refers to "Adjusted EBITDA" which is a non-IFRS financial measure that does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. The Company's presentation of this preliminary financial measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. This preliminary financial measure is intended to provide additional information to investors concerning the Company's estimated results. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted for share-based payments, and is a measure of a company's operating performance. Essentially, it's a way to evaluate a company's performance without having to factor in financing decisions, accounting decisions or tax environments.
Management uses this non-IFRS measure as a key metric in the evaluation of the Company's performance and the consolidated financial results. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in their assessment of the operating performance and the valuation of the Company. However, non-IFRS financial measures are not prepared in accordance with IFRS, and the information is not necessarily comparable to other companies and should be considered as a supplement to, not a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with IFRS. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and operating profit is available in Zoomd's MD&A located on the Company's profile at www.sedar.com which is incorporated by reference into this press release.

Atlanta police motorcycles burned in fire started by ‘incendiary devices,’ officials say
ATLANTA (WANF/Gray News) - “Incendiary devices” were found after an early morning fire inside the parking deck of an old Atlanta Police Training Academy Saturday morning, the Atlanta Fire and Rescue Department said.
Crews responded to 180 Southside Industrial Parkway at around 2:20 a.m. after reports of a multi-vehicle fire, they said. When they got there, firefighters said they found multiple motorcycles on fire.
They were able to put out the fire and then said they discovered “incendiary devices,” which are used to set fires.
It is unknown if authorities believe it is a case of arson or if any suspects were taken into custody. The fire department said they continue to investigate.
WANF is working to learn more and has reached out to the Atlanta Police Department, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives for a statement.
This location is not to be confused with the planned Atlanta Police training facility that has yet to break ground in DeKalb County. That project has been the subject of protests, some violent, over the past year. It has been dubbed “Cop City” by those against the project. This fire, though, comes at the end of the “Defend the Forest” protesters’ “week of action.”
Atlanta police said another vandalism incident involving their property was reported at around 1 a.m. When officers arrived at 890 Memorial Drive, they located three APD vehicles that had been damaged.
In a statement in response to the incident, Gov. Brian Kemp said the “attacks on public safety resources are outrageous and completely inexcusable” and called the incident a planned attack that endangered lives and community assets.
“Those are the tactics of organized criminals, not protestors, and their supporters should ask themselves if they truly want to be associated with such radical and violent people,” Kemp said. “Working with state, local, and federal law enforcement partners, we will find these criminals and bring them to justice.”

(The Hill) – Republican Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.) deleted a tweet Thursday that accused House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) of allowing CNN, or as Steube put it the “Communist News Network,” to build a TV set in Statuary Hall. CNN had actually used a green screen displaying that section of the U.S. Capitol.
“In case you forgot the sham #January6thcommitteehearings are purely for TV ratings, Pelosi let The Communist News Network build a full TV set where Abraham Lincoln’s desk once stood,” Steube wrote.
Steube’s tweet attached a picture of CNN anchor Jake Tapper and others discussing the third publicly released hearing by the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol in front of the Statuary Hall green screen.
The hearing, televised during prime time Thursday evening, explored tensions between former President Trump and former Vice President Pence over Trump’s pressure campaign to get Pence to throw out the results of the 2020 election.
Trump and Pence experienced a rift when Pence resisted Trump’s urgings for the then-vice president to block the certification of electoral votes that elected President Joe Biden to his office, an action that lawyers told the Trump administration was unconstitutional.
Pence was the target of threats and insults during the Jan. 6 insurrection, when people marched on the Capitol chating “hang Mike Pence.” The committee said he was “unwavering” in his resistance to Trump’s belligerent calls to abuse his position.
“We’re fortunate for Mr. Pence’s courage on January 6th,” said committee chairman Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) in the hearing. “Our democracy came dangerously close to catastrophe.”
Trump and Pence have experienced further turbulence in their relationship since the end of the Trump administration, which came to head when both figures supported opposing candidates in the Georgia Republican gubernatorial primary.
Both men have also been rumored to be planning 2024 presidential runs, pitting them against one other to a new extent. | 2022-06-17T16:50:36+00:00 | wearegreenbay.com | https://www.wearegreenbay.com/news/national/gop-lawmaker-deletes-tweet-blasting-cnn-for-full-tv-set-inside-capitol-that-was-actually-a-green-screen/ |
Scientists say there's a lot we can still do to slow the speed of climate change. But when it comes to "climate solutions", some are real, and some aren't, says Naomi Oreskes, historian of science at Harvard University. "This space has become really muddied," she says.
So how does someone figure out what's legit? We asked six climate scholars for the questions they ask themselves whenever they come across something claiming to be a climate solution.
A big climate solution is an obvious one
It may sound basic, but one big way to address climate change is to reduce the main human activity that caused it in the first place: burning fossil fuels.
Scientists say that means ultimately transitioning away from oil, coal and gas and becoming more energy efficient. We already have a lot of the technology we need to make this transition, like solar, wind, and batteries, Oreskes says.
"What we need to do right now is to mobilize the technologies that already exist, that work and are cost competitive, and that essentially means renewable energy and storage," she says.
Think about who's selling you the solution
It's important to think about both who's selling you the climate solution and what they say the problem is, says Melissa Aronczyk, professor of media at Rutgers University.
"People like to come up with solutions, but to do that, they usually have to interpret the problem in a way that works for them," she says.
Oreskes says pay attention when you see a "climate solution" that means increasing the use of fossil fuels. She says an example is natural gas, which has been sold as a "bridge fuel" from coal to renewable energy. But natural gas is still a fossil fuel, and its production, transport and use release methane, a greenhouse gas far more potent than carbon dioxide.
"I think we need to start by looking at what happens when the fossil fuel industry comes up with solutions, because here is the greatest potential for conflict of interest," Aronczyk says.
A solution may sound promising, but is it available and scalable now?
Sometimes you'll hear about new promising technology like carbon capture, which vacuums carbon dioxide out of the air and stores it underground, says David Ho, a professor of oceanography at University of Hawaii at Manoa.
Ho researches climate solutions and he says ask yourself: is this technology available, affordable, or scalable now?
"I think people who don't work in this space think we have all these technologies that are ready to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, for instance. And we're not there," Ho says.
If it's adding emissions, it's not a climate solution
These days all kinds of companies, from airlines to wedding dress companies, might offer to let you buy "carbon offsets" along with your purchase. That offset money could do something like build a new wind farm or plant trees that would - in theory - soak up and store the equivalent carbon dioxide emissions of taking a flight or making a new dress.
But there are often problems with regulation and verification of offsets, says Roberto Schaeffer, a professor of energy economics at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. "It's very dangerous, very dangerous indeed," he says.
He says with offsets from forests, it's hard to verify if the trees are really being protected, that those trees won't get cut down or burned in a wildfire.
"You cannot guarantee, 'Okay, you're gonna offset your dress by planting a tree.' You have no guarantee that in three years time that tree is gonna be there," he says.
If you make emissions thinking you're offsetting them, and the offset doesn't work, that's doubling the emissions, says Adrienne Buller, a climate finance researcher and director of research at Common Wealth, a think tank in the United Kingdom, "It's sort of like doubly bad."
If a solution sounds too easy, be skeptical
Many things sold as carbon offsets - like restoring or protecting forests - are, on their own, great climate solutions, Buller says. "We need things like trees," she says, "To draw carbon out of the atmosphere."
The problem is when carbon markets sell the idea that you can continue emitting as usual and everything will be fine if you just buy an offset, Buller says. "It's kind of a solution that implies that we don't have to do that much hard work. We can just kind of do some minor tweaks to the way that we currently do things," she says.
Schaeffer says there is a lot of hard work in our future to get off of fossil fuels and onto clean energy sources. "So people have to realize there is a price to pay here. No free lunch."
It's not all about business. Governments must play a role in solutions, too
We often think of businesses working on climate solutions on their own, but that's often not the case, says Oreskes. Government often plays a big role in funding and research support for new climate technology, says June Sekera, a visiting scholar at The New School who studies public policy and climate.
And governments will also have to play a big role in regulating emissions, says Schaeffer, who has been working with the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change for 25 years.
That's why all the scholars NPR spoke with for this story say one big climate solution is to vote.
Schaeffer points to the recent election in Brazil, where climate change was a big campaign issue for candidate Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Lula won, and has promised to address deforestation, a big source of Brazil's emissions.
There's no one solution to climate change - and no one can do it alone
Aronczyk wants to make one thing clear: there is no one solution to climate change.
"We're human beings. We encounter a problem, we wanna solve that problem," Aronczyk says, "But just as there is no one way to describe climate change, there's no one way to offer a solution."
Climate solutions will take different forms, Sekera says. Some solutions may slow climate change, some may offer us ways to adapt.
The key thing, Aronczyk says, is that climate solutions will involve governments, businesses, and individuals. She says: "It is an all hands on deck kind of a situation."

LOS ANGELES (AP) — One person is dead and three others were injured in a shooting during a drug deal outside a Los Angeles shopping center Saturday, police said.
Multiple suspects shot at each other during what police believe was a dispute during a narcotics deal in a parking lot in the area of Vanowen and Fallbrook in West Hills around 3:45 p.m., Los Angeles Police Department Deputy Chief Alan Hamilton said.
The deceased man was not immediately identified by police.
Three victims hit by gunfire were transported to a hospital and treated for non-life-threatening injuries. At least two of those may face charges after their release from medical care, Hamilton said.
Three suspects were in custody Saturday evening and investigators believe the shooting involved gang members, he said.
Police recovered two firearms at the scene, Hamilton said.
“We believe that all of the people involved in this dispute have been identified and we believe we have them either in custody or we have them where we can provide them medical care,” Hamilton said.
An LAPD helicopter spotted a vehicle with windows shot out leaving the scene and tracked the vehicle, Hamilton said.
“That suspect became involved in a hit-and-run traffic collision where they injured someone else and continued fleeing the area,” Hamilton said. “They subsequently switched vehicles and the air units saw them switch vehicles and directed ground units to the location where the suspect was fleeing.”
There was a pursuit lasting two to three minutes before the vehicle pulled over. A female driver and the male suspect who fled the shooting scene surrendered and were taken into custody, Hamilton said.
The person who was injured in the hit-and-run accident was treated for non-life-threatening injuries. | 2023-04-02T18:27:43+00:00 | texomashomepage.com | https://www.texomashomepage.com/news/la-police-1-dead-3-wounded-in-shooting-at-shopping-center/ |
Early on a June morning in Death Valley National Park, a wild donkey brought her foal to one of the springs scattered throughout the desert. Two sets of eyes watched the foal pick its way through the brush. One set belonged to a mountain lion, the other to a trail camera.
Footage of the subsequent kill was published last month in the Journal of Animal Ecology, in a study that provided direct evidence of mountain lions hunting donkeys in the western deserts of North America. The attacks don’t just result in donkey scraps and full cougars, researchers argue: They suggest native carnivores act as an important check on nonnative prey. The study also raises questions about how damaging donkeys are in the wild desert landscapes, although federal wildlife authorities maintain a goal of eliminating them entirely.
Donkeys originated in North Africa but were introduced to the U.S. through the mining industry in the late 1800s. Federal agencies were not pleased to see the hardy herbivores establish themselves in Death Valley. In the 1930s, wildlife managers began culling donkeys, arguing that herds of burros trampled vegetation, muddied springs and drove away native wildlife like bighorn sheep. But the donkeys have persisted, and decades later, an estimated 4,000 live in Death Valley, despite National Park Service goals of bringing the population to zero.
Erick Lundgren, a biologist at Aarhus University in Denmark, took an interest in the donkeys’ effects on the desert’s wetlands. Initially, he focused on donkeys’ habit of digging wells — sometimes up to 5 feet deep — to reach water beneath dry stream beds. These wells have often been cited as evidence of ecological damage, Lundgren said. But he and colleagues found in a 2021 study that donkey wells served as nurseries and oases for native plants and animals.
He also found that donkeys congregating near Death Valley campsites could cause damage.
“They pretty much turn these wetlands into just a warren of trails and trampled ground,” Lundgren said. While some plant species actually benefit from this kind of grazing, he added, the donkeys wipe out other kinds of vegetation that attract birds and store carbon.
But in more remote spring-fed groves, Lundgren found, donkeys tended not to linger, and their impact on vegetation was much less drastic. At many of the sites, the researchers found mountain lion caches, the stashed carcasses that are hidden away behind boulders or thickets to prevent theft by scavengers and other cats. Many of the Death Valley caches contained donkey remains, suggesting that donkeys in parts of the park were serving an important ecological function: cat food.
Lundgren and his colleagues surveyed 13 wetlands with camera traps. Eight of the sites, often the more mountainous spots, showed the remains of donkey kills. In such sites, donkeys seemed to be the predators’ main prey, making up 24 of the 29 hidden carcasses.
At those spots, compared with the springs around campgrounds where fewer lions prowled, there was half as much trampled ground and nearly twice as much canopy cover.
“Our study shows that burros can denude wetlands but only when mountain lions are absent,” Lundgren said. “This is the case in the most visible springs in Death Valley, which occur at campsites, where mountain lions are fearful to go.” He said that the places where wild donkeys do the most damage are “places that are artificially safe because of humans.”
The predators were acting as a check on the donkeys, Lundgren said, moderating their impact on sensitive sites into something ecologically useful — well digging and opening up spring-fed thickets.
Federal wildlife officials disagreed with the researchers’ conclusion.
“Cougar predation is insufficient to control feral donkey populations in the park, which reproduce at a rate of around 20% each year, and does not contribute significantly to the management goal of zero nonnative donkeys within the park,” said Abigail Wines, a management assistant with the National Park Service.
Lundgren replied that the donkey birthrate Wines cited was based on decades-old estimates. In Death Valley, he said, concrete numbers about donkey populations are hard to come by. He also pointed to research suggesting mountain lions are potentially important predators for wild horses and burros. A 1999 study found mountain lions helped control a feral horse population in Nevada, while a 2021 paper found some cats in the same region relied entirely on wild horses as prey. That could mean mountain lions that target nonnative donkeys in Death Valley may not hunt as many threatened species there, like bighorn sheep, Lundgren said.
Park staff members declined to answer questions about whether having zero burros in Death Valley was attainable, but have previously acknowledged that wholly eliminating donkeys there is at best an aspirational goal.
“We’re always going to have burros,” Alison Ainsworth, then a Death Valley National Park biologist, told Undark Magazine in 2019, noting that herds continue to roam on surrounding federal land.
If the donkeys are now a permanent feature on the landscape, Lundgren argues, it’s worth seeing them as potential parts of a functional ecosystem, not alien to it.
“A lot of the population numbers you hear and these stories of how horribly invasive these animals are ignoring the fact that predators can hunt them, especially if we leave those predators alone,” he said. | 2022-08-16T00:43:16+00:00 | seattletimes.com | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/death-valleys-invasive-donkeys-have-become-cat-food/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_nation-world |
(The Hill) – Scientists at Northwestern University say they have devised a method for breaking apart some of the infamously unbreakable toxins known as “forever chemicals.”
These chemicals, called per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), earned the “forever” qualifier due to their propensity to linger in the human body and the environment. There are thousands of types of PFAS, none of which are naturally occurring and many of which can take decades to degrade.
But a group of chemists at Northwestern say they have developed a simple method that employs low temperatures and inexpensive reagents to break down two major classes of PFAS, while leaving behind only harmless byproducts.
They published their findings — which they acknowledged as a “seemingly impossible” but potentially “powerful solution” — in Science on Thursday afternoon.
“PFAS has become a major societal problem,” lead author William Dichtel, a professor of chemistry at Northwestern, said in a statement. “Even just a tiny, tiny amount of PFAS causes negative health effects, and it does not break down.”
Scientists have already found connections between PFAS exposure and a long list of illnesses, including testicular cancer, thyroid disease and kidney cancer.
Notorious for their presence in jet fuel firefighting foam and industrial discharge, PFAS are also found in many household products, including nonstick pans, waterproof apparel and cosmetics.
“We can’t just wait out this problem,” Dichtel said. “We wanted to use chemistry to address this problem and create a solution that the world can use. It’s exciting because of how simple — yet unrecognized — our solution is.”
The reason that PFAS are usually so indestructible is that they are made up of many carbon-fluorine bonds, which are the strongest such bonds in organic chemistry, the authors explained.
But the researchers said they identified a weakness that enabled them to disrupt this formidable attachment.
While PFAS contain long “tails” of powerful carbon-fluorine bonds, at one end of these molecules is often a “head group” of charged oxygen atoms, the authors explained.
By heating the compounds in a solvent called dimethyl sulfide with a common reagent called sodium hydroxide, the scientists said they “decapitated the head group” — exposing a vulnerable, reactive PFAS tail.
“Although carbon-fluorine bonds are super strong, that charged head group is the Achilles heel,” Dichtel said.
This head group “falls off and sets off a cascade of reactions that ultimately breaks these PFAS compounds down to relatively benign products,” the professor explained at a live-streamed press conference this week.
The byproducts include fluoride ions and “small carbon-containing products that are in many cases found in nature already and do not pose serious health concerns,” he added.
Dichtel’s team successfully degraded 10 types of PFAS from two classes: perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids — PFCAs — and perfluoroalkyl ether carboxylic acids, or PFECAs.
Among the compounds they were able to break down were perfluorooctanoic acid, or PFOA, and GenX — two of the most infamous types of PFAS.
“The importance of this understanding is that it really provides for the first time a way to map these reactions out,” Dichtel said at the press conference.
Dichtel and first co-author Brittany Trang, who recently completed her PhD in his laboratory, worked alongside Ken Houk, an organic chemistry professor at the University of California, Los Angeles and Yuli Li, a student at China’s Tianjin University, who employed powerful computational methods to simulate PFAS degradation.
Understanding the path to degradation, according to Dichtel, is important to the future development of “actual practical methods to remove these pollutants” from contaminated water.
Dichtel said he could envision this type of technique being integrated in the future with technologies that extract PFAS from water, such as reverse osmosis. Reverse osmosis pulls contaminants out of water by forcing the offending molecules through a semi-permeable membrane — and while this process purifies the water, the PFAS is left behind as waste.
But an approach like the one devised in Dichtel’s laboratory could be applied to this waste stream and break down concentrated quantities of PFAS, he explained.
Acknowledging that other PFAS degradation methods have been emerging, Dichtel said that the uniqueness of their method lies in its inexpensive nature and low temperature requirements.
Now that they’ve successfully broken down these 10 types of PFAS, the scientists said they plan to test out the strategy on others.
They next plan to focus on another large class of PFAS called perfluoroalkyl sulfonates, which include common compounds like perfluorooctane sulfonic acid, according to Dichtel.
With each class, however, comes a different head group that the scientists need to figure out how to decapitate. But if they “can knock that sulfonated head group off the molecule,” the compounds should degrade through similar pathways, the professor explained.
Although it’s difficult to anticipate exactly what will be required to eliminate that head group, Dichtel said that they are exploring several different possibilities. And identifying that mechanism would be one step closer to figuring out how to break down the thousands of types of PFAS that are lurking in the environment.
“PFAS pollution is so pervasive, and it is in it is in more than just drinking water,” Dichtel added. “It’s in soils, it’s in dust, it’s airborne — we really polluted the whole world with this stuff.” | 2022-08-18T20:21:50+00:00 | wboy.com | https://www.wboy.com/news/national/scientists-unveil-method-to-destroy-certain-forever-chemicals/ |
HOUSTON, May 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Talos Energy Inc. ("Talos" or the "Company") (NYSE: TALO) today announced its operational and financial results for three months ended March 31, 2023. Additionally, the Company has updated its full year 2023 guidance as described further below.
Key Highlights:
- Authorized a $100.0 million share repurchase program in March 2023 and repurchased 1.9 million shares through the end of the first quarter.
- Executed a 21,000-acre onshore CO2 sequestration lease near the Company's River Bend CCS project, bringing total acreage within the Baton Rouge/New Orleans region to approximately 110,000 gross acres under lease or right of first refusal.
- Announced that the Company is exploring a capital raise in the near term to finance the accelerated growth of its Talos Low Carbon Solutions ("TLCS") platform.
- Completed the acquisition of EnVen and progressed integration activities; synergy capture estimates are on track to meet or exceed the previously guided annual $30 million.
- Submitted the Zama Unit Development Plan for formal approval and formed an Integrated Project Team ("IPT") to manage the development and operation of Zama going forward.
First Quarter Summary:
- Production of 63.6 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day ("MBoe/d") (72% oil, 79% liquids), inclusive of a partial quarter of production from the acquisition of EnVen Energy Corporation ("EnVen").
- Revenue of $322.6 million, driven by realized prices (excluding hedges) of $71.28 per barrel for oil, $22.62 per barrel for natural gas liquids ("NGLs"), and $2.83 per thousand cubic feet ("Mcf") for natural gas.
- Net Income of $89.9 million, or $0.84 Net Income per diluted share, and Adjusted Net Loss(1) of $1.3 million, or $0.01 Adjusted Net Loss per diluted share.
- Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $203.1 million, or $35.48 Adjusted EBITDA per Boe, inclusive of $6.2 million of TLCS expenses.
- Upstream Capital Expenditures of $190.0 million, inclusive of plugging and abandonment. Capital investments in Carbon Capture & Sequestration ("CCS"), totaled an additional $21.2 million.
Talos President and Chief Executive Officer Timothy S. Duncan commented: "Although we have encountered several operational challenges in recent weeks, we remain focused on the totality of our 2023 plan, which positions the business for long-term growth and value creation. We are seeing our capital and operating expenses trending below our plan and we will look to continue this trend while also progressing our Venice and Lime Rock discoveries to first production. We expect that production will exceed a rate of 80 MBoe/d early in 2024, and we continue to expect to achieve our 2024 – 2026 production and cash flow goals."
Duncan continued: "We are also making strong progress on several key projects in our business that underpin expanded shareholder value. We recently submitted the field development plan for Zama and announced an Integrated Project Team that will allow for better collaboration and execution on this world class project. In the deepwater Gulf of Mexico, we are currently drilling our high-impact Pancheron prospect, we expanded our inventory by acquiring 23,000 gross acres in the recent federal lease sale, and we completed another 23,000 acre trade that secured a high impact prospect named Daenerys, which is expected to commence drilling in 2024. In our CCS business, we more than doubled our storage capacity in multiple transactions in the first quarter and are preparing our first stratigraphic test well, leading us toward our goal of filing multiple Class VI permits in 2023. With the level of investor demand for CCS exposure, we believe a well-structured capital raise could potentially help accelerate the growth of the business in this critical phase. Lastly, we initiated our first share buyback program, and we will continue to be opportunistic with that program, which underscores our confidence on our long-term vision for the Company."
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AND OPERATIONS UPDATE
Shareholder Return Program: In March 2023, Talos announced a $100 million common stock repurchase program, the first shareholder return program in the Company's history. As of March 31, 2023, the Company has repurchased 1.9 million shares, or 1.5% of the total outstanding shares, for $26.6 million.
Zama Development Plan & IPT: In March 2023, the Zama Unit Development Plan was submitted to Mexico's National Commission of Hydrocarbons for formal approval. Additionally, an IPT comprised of representatives from all four Zama Unit Holders was established to manage the development and operation of Zama going forward. Talos will co-lead the planning, drilling, construction, and completion of all Zama wells and the planning, execution, and delivery of Zama's offshore infrastructure.
Drilling and Completion Updates:
Rigolets: Talos drilled the Rigolets exploitation prospect in the second quarter of 2023 and encountered non-commercial quantities of hydrocarbons in the well. Talos has now completed plugging and abandonment operations. Talos held a 60% working interest.
Pancheron: Talos is participating in the potentially high-impact Pancheron exploration prospect, which spud in late April 2023 following the completion of an eight-block swap in the Green Canyon and Walker Ridge areas in 2022. Talos holds a 30% working interest, bp holds a 33% working interest and Oxy holds a 37% working interest and is the operator. Results are expected around mid-year 2023.
Daenerys: In April 2023, Talos completed a farm-in transaction to combine approximately 23,000 gross acres in the Walker Ridge area with co-owners Red Willow Offshore LLC and Houston Energy LP. Talos will be the operator and plans to drill the Daenerys exploration well in the second half of 2024. The high-impact, subsalt project will evaluate the Miocene section with a gross unrisked recoverable resource potential between 100 – 300 MMBoe. Talos expects a target working interest of 30% in the initial test well.
Lease Sale 259: Talos was the apparent high bidder on four deepwater lease blocks in the Green Canyon and Mississippi Canyon areas, collectively representing over 23,000 gross acres with multiple potential future drilling prospects.
TLCS Updates:
East Louisiana Acreage Expansion: Talos executed lease agreements on private land in the first quarter of 2023 for more than 21,000 acres, nearly doubling the acreage under lease in the Baton Rouge / New Orleans, Louisiana industrial corridor and increasing the estimated gross prospective storage resource by more than 120 million metric tons of CO2. The region now holds a gross acreage footprint of approximately 110,000 acres under lease or right of first refusal, with over 620 million metric tons of gross prospective storage resource proximal to 80 million metric tons per year of existing industrial emissions along the Mississippi River corridor.
Chevron Transaction: In March 2023, Bayou Bend CCS, a carbon capture and sequestration project located along the Texas Gulf Coast, expanded its storage footprint through the acquisition of nearly 100,000 onshore acres in Chambers and Jefferson Counties, Texas located in the Houston Ship Channel and Beaumont and Port Arthur region. The expanded Bayou Bend CCS project now encompasses nearly 140,000 acres of offshore and onshore pore space for permanent CO2 sequestration. The total acreage holds more than one billion metric tons of gross prospective storage resource, positioning Bayou Bend CCS to be a leading carbon transportation and storage solutions for industrial emitters in one of the largest industrial corridors of the country. Equity interests in Bayou Bend CCS remain 50 percent Chevron Corporation ("Chevron"), 25 percent Talos, and 25 percent Carbonvert Inc. Effective March 1, 2023, Chevron became the operator of Bayou Bend CCS.
Class VI Permit Application Progress: The Bayou Bend partnership has contracted a rig and expects to drill an offshore stratigraphic data collection well in the state waters off Jefferson County, Texas, during the third quarter. TLCS is also acquiring and analyzing data across several projects with plans to file two to three EPA Class VI permit applications by year-end.
GUIDANCE UPDATES
Full-Year 2023 Production Guidance:
Talos now expects average daily production for the full year 2023 to be in the range of 66.0 to 71.0 MBoe/d. While production results for January and February of 2023 were in-line with original management expectations for both Talos and EnVen, delays in first production from new wells, certain underperformance, and unplanned downtime now forecasted for the remainder of the year have led to re-guiding the Company's 2023 production, with the following details:
Recent Drilling Program Updates: Recent production levels from selected new wells are below expected pre-drill contributions for the year, amounting to an expected impact of 2.0 – 3.0 MBoe/d as compared to original guidance, primarily due to delays in first production and lower than expected initial production rates from the Bulleit and Mt. Hunter wells. The Company is planning a well intervention in Bulleit in the second quarter to attempt to access production from a lower completion.
Selected Well Underperformance: Certain existing wells exhibited production rate declines earlier than planned, generating a 2023 production impact of 1.0 – 2.0 MBoe/d as compared to original guidance. Most notably, this includes two non-operated Shelf wells that began experiencing production declines due to earlier-than-expected water production.
Unplanned Downtime: Despite diagnostic and corrective operations in the fourth quarter of 2022 and the first quarter of 2023, Talos expects its operated Neptune facility to require intermittent production shut-ins resulting in a full-year 2023 production impact of 1.0 – 1.5 MBoe/d as compared to original guidance while Talos works to optimize flow assurance of the subsea system in the field.
Full-Year 2023 Expense Guidance:
All previously guided expense categories remain unchanged from prior guidance.
(1) Inclusive of all Lease Operating Expenses and Workover and Maintenance.
(2) Includes insurance costs.
(3) Excludes non-cash equity-based compensation.
(4) Includes reimbursements under production handling agreements.
(5) Excludes acquisitions.
(6) Excludes future acquisitions. Cash contributions to Bayou Bend CCS for the acquisition of additional acreage is included in 2023 guidance.
(7) Includes cash interest expense on debt and finance lease, surety charges, amortization of deferred financing costs and original issue discounts.
(8) Includes CCS-specific G&A costs.
Note: Due to the forward-looking nature a reconciliation of Cash Operating Expenses and G&A to the most directly comparable GAAP measure could not reconciled without unreasonable efforts.
FIRST QUARTER 2023 RESULTS
Key Financial Highlights:
Production
Production was 63.6 MBoe/d net for the first quarter 2023 and was 72% oil and 79% liquids. Production figures are inclusive of the EnVen assets from the closing date of February 13, 2023 through the end of the quarter.

All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this communication, regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. When used in this communication, the words "will," "could," "believe," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "expect," "project," "forecast," "may," "objective," "plan" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events.
We caution you that these forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. These risks include, but are not limited to, the anticipated future integration of the assets acquired from EnVen Energy Corporation; the success of our carbon capture and sequestration projects; commodity price volatility; the lack of a resolution to the war in Ukraine and its impact on certain commodity markets; the ability or willingness of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and non-OPEC countries, such as Saudi Arabia and Russia, to set and maintain oil production levels and the impact of any such actions; the success of any future capital raise; the impact of the ongoing sub-surface water flood project in the Phoenix Field and any updates to our estimated ultimate recovery from such project; lack of transportation and storage capacity as a result of oversupply, government regulations and actions or other factors; sustained inflation and the impact of central bank policy in response thereto; lack of availability of drilling and production equipment and services; environmental risks; drilling and other operating risks; regulatory changes; adverse weather events, including tropical storms, hurricanes and winter storms; cybersecurity threats; the continued impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 ("COVID-19"), including any new strains or variants, and governmental measures related thereto; the uncertainty inherent in estimating reserves and in projecting future rates of production, cash flow and access to capital; the timing of development expenditures; the possibility that the anticipated benefits of recent acquisitions are not realized when expected or at all, including as a result of the impact of, or problems arising from, the integration of such acquisitions; changes to federal income tax laws and regulations, including the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022; environmental risks; failure to find, acquire or gain access to other discoveries and prospects or to successfully develop and produce from our current discoveries and prospects; geologic risk; drilling and other operating risks; well control risk; regulatory changes; the uncertainty inherent in estimating reserves and in projecting future rates of production; cash flow and access to capital; the timing of development expenditures; potential adverse reactions or competitive responses to our acquisitions and other transactions; the possibility that the anticipated benefits of our acquisitions are not realized when expected or at all, including as a result of the impact of, or problems arising from, the integration of acquired assets and operations, and the other risks discussed in Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 1, 2023 and Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, filed subsequent to the issuance of this communication.
Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described herein occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in this communication are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. This cautionary statement should also be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that we or persons acting on our behalf may issue. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, we disclaim any duty to update any forward-looking statements, all of which are expressly qualified by the statements in this section, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this communication.
Estimates for our future production volumes are based on assumptions of capital expenditure levels and the assumption that market demand and prices for oil and gas will continue at levels that allow for economic production of these products. The production, transportation, marketing and storage of oil and gas are subject to disruption due to transportation, processing and storage availability, mechanical failure, human error, hurricanes and numerous other factors. Our estimates are based on certain other assumptions, such as well performance, which may vary significantly from those assumed. Therefore, we can give no assurance that our future production volumes will be as estimated.
RESERVE INFORMATION
Reserve engineering is a process of estimating underground accumulations of oil, natural gas and NGLs that cannot be measured in an exact way. The accuracy of any reserve estimate depends on the quality of available data, the interpretation of such data and price and cost assumptions made by reserve engineers. In addition, the results of drilling, testing and production activities may justify revisions upward or downward of estimates that were made previously. If significant, such revisions would change the schedule of any further production and development drilling. Accordingly, reserve estimates may differ significantly from the quantities of oil, natural gas and NGLs that are ultimately recovered. In addition, we use the term "gross unrisked resource potential" in this release, which is not a measure of "reserves" prepared in accordance with SEC guidelines or permitted to be included in SEC filings. These resource estimates are inherently more uncertain than estimates of reserves prepared in accordance with SEC guidelines.
SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP INFORMATION
Certain financial information included in our financial results are not measures of financial performance recognized by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are "Adjusted Net Income (Loss)," "Adjusted Earnings per Share," "EBITDA," "Adjusted EBITDA," "Adjusted EBITDA excluding hedges," "Adjusted EBITDA Margin," "Adjusted EBITDA Margin excluding hedges," "Adjusted Free Cash Flow," "Net Debt," "LTM Adjusted EBITDA," "Credit Facility LTM Adjusted EBITDA,", "Net Debt to Credit Facility LTM Adjusted EBITDA" and "PV-10." These disclosures may not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP measures which may be reported by other companies.
Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
"EBITDA" and "Adjusted EBITDA" are to provide management and investors with (i) additional information to evaluate, with certain adjustments, items required or permitted in calculating covenant compliance under our debt agreements, (ii) important supplemental indicators of the operational performance of our business, (iii) additional criteria for evaluating our performance relative to our peers and (iv) supplemental information to investors about certain material non-cash and/or other items that may not continue at the same level in the future. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP or as alternatives to net income (loss), operating income (loss) or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. We define these as the following:
EBITDA. Net income (loss) plus interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation, depletion and amortization and accretion expense.
Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA plus non-cash write-down of oil and natural gas properties, transaction and other (income) expenses, decommissioning obligations, derivative fair value (gain) loss, net cash receipts (payments) on settled derivatives, (gain) loss on debt extinguishment, non-cash write-down of other well equipment inventory and non-cash equity-based compensation expense.
Adjusted EBITDA excluding hedges. We have historically provided as a supplement to—rather than in lieu of—Adjusted EBITDA including hedges, provides useful information regarding our results of operations and profitability by illustrating the operating results of our oil and natural gas properties without the benefit or detriment, as applicable, of our financial oil and natural gas hedges. By excluding our oil and natural gas hedges, we are able to convey actual operating results using realized market prices during the period, thereby providing analysts and investors with additional information they can use to evaluate the impacts of our hedging strategies over time.
We also present Adjusted EBITDA excluding hedges and as a percentage of revenue to further analyze our business, which are outlined below:
Adjusted EBITDA Margin. EBITDA divided by Revenue, as a percentage. It is also defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by the total production volume, expressed in Boe, in the period, and described as dollar per Boe. We believe the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA margin is important to provide management and investors with information about how much we retain in Adjusted EBITDA terms as compared to the revenue we generate and how much per barrel we generate after accounting for certain operational and corporate costs.
The following table presents a reconciliation of the GAAP financial measure of net income (loss) to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA excluding hedges, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin excluding hedges for each of the periods indicated (in thousands, except for Boe, $/Boe and percentage data):
(1) For the three months ended March 31, 2023, transaction expenses include $35.2 million in costs related to the EnVen Acquisition, inclusive of $22.6 million in severance expense. Other income (expense) includes other miscellaneous income and expenses that we do not view as a meaningful indicator of our operating performance. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, it includes a $8.6 million gain on the funding of the capital carry of its investment in Bayou Bend by Chevron. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, it includes a $13.9 million gain on partial sale of our investment in Bayou Bend.
(2) Estimated decommissioning obligations were a result of working interest partners or counterparties of divestiture transactions that were unable to perform the required abandonment obligations due to bankruptcy or insolvency.
(3) The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gain) loss and net cash receipts (payments) on settled derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments, which are recognized at the end of each accounting period because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges. This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDA on an unrealized basis during the period the derivatives settled.
(4) One Boe is equal to six Mcf of natural gas or one Bbl of oil or NGLs based on an approximate energy equivalency. This is an energy content correlation and does not reflect a value or price relationship between the commodities.
Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Reconciliation of Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Adjusted Free Cash Flow
"Adjusted Free Cash Flow" before changes in working capital provides management and investors with (i) important supplemental indicators of the operational performance of our business, (ii) additional criteria for evaluating our performance relative to our peers and (iii) supplemental information to investors about certain material non-cash and/or other items that may not continue at the same level in the future. Adjusted Free Cash Flow has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP or as alternatives to net income (loss), operating income (loss) or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. We define these as the following:
Capital Expenditures and Plugging & Abandonment. Actual capital expenditures and plugging & abandonment recognized in the quarter, inclusive of accruals.
Interest Expense. Actual interest expense per the income statement.
Talos did not pay any cash taxes in the period, therefore cash taxes have no impact to the reported Adjusted Free Cash Flow before changes in working capital number.
(1) Includes settlement of asset retirement obligations.
(2) Includes accruals and excludes acquisitions.
(3) For the three months ended March 31, 2023, transaction expenses include $35.2 million in costs related to the EnVen Acquisition, inclusive of $22.6 million in severance expense. Other income (expenses) includes miscellaneous income and expenses that we do not view as a meaningful indicator of our operating performance.
(4) Estimated decommissioning obligations were a result of working interest partners or counterparties of divestiture transactions that were unable to perform the required abandonment obligations due to bankruptcy or insolvency.
Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Earnings per Share
"Adjusted Net Income (Loss)" and "Adjusted Earnings per Share" are to provide management and investors with (i) important supplemental indicators of the operational performance of our business, (ii) additional criteria for evaluating our performance relative to our peers and (iii) supplemental information to investors about certain material non-cash and/or other items that may not continue at the same level in the future. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Earnings per Share have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP or as an alternative to net income (loss), operating income (loss), earnings per share or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss). Net income (loss) plus accretion expense, transaction related costs, derivative fair value (gain) loss, net cash receipts (payments) on settled derivative instruments and non-cash equity-based compensation expense.
Adjusted Earnings per Share. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) divided by the number of common shares.
(1) For the three months ended March 31, 2023, transaction expenses include $35.2 million in costs related to the EnVen Acquisition, inclusive of $22.6 million in severance expense. Other income (expense) includes other miscellaneous income and expenses that we do not view as a meaningful indicator of our operating performance. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, it includes a $8.6 million gain on the funding of the capital carry of its investment in Bayou Bend by Chevron.
(2) Estimated decommissioning obligations were a result of working interest partners or counterparties of divestiture transactions that were unable to perform the required abandonment obligations due to bankruptcy or insolvency.
(3) The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gain) loss and net cash receipts (payments) on settled derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments, which are recognized at the end of each accounting period because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges. This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted Net Income (Loss) on an unrealized basis during the period the derivatives settled.
Reconciliation of Total Debt to Net Debt and Net Debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA
We believe the presentation of Net Debt, LTM Adjusted EBITDA, and Net Debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA is important to provide management and investors with additional important information to evaluate our business. These measures are widely used by investors and ratings agencies in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies.
Net Debt. Total Debt principal of the Company minus cash and cash equivalents.
Net Debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA. Net Debt divided by the LTM Adjusted EBITDA.
(1) Net Debt / Pro Forma LTM Adjusted EBITDA excludes the Finance Lease. Had the Finance Lease been included, Net Debt / Pro Forma LTM Adjusted EBITDA would have been 1.0x.

On June 15, @Ukrainolution, a Twitter account with more than 27,000 followers that tweets content about the war in Ukraine, posted a photo claiming to show Arnold Schwarzenegger wearing a pro-Ukraine t-shirt.
The shirt has an outline of Crimea with the text “I’ll be back,” Schwarzenegger’s famous line from “The Terminator” film franchise. Crimea was annexed into Russia in 2014.
The photo was also shared on June 17 by Paul Massaro, the senior policy advisor for counter-kleptocracy at the Helsinki Commission, a government agency that monitors human rights and international cooperation in 57 countries.
THE QUESTION
Is the photo of Arnold Schwarzenegger wearing a pro-Ukraine Crimea shirt real?
THE SOURCES
THE ANSWER
No, the photo of Arnold Schwarzenegger wearing a pro-Ukraine shirt isn’t real. The photo was edited using a paparazzi photo taken in 2012.
WHAT WE FOUND
Using Yandex, a reverse image search tool, VERIFY traced the original photo back to when Arnold Schwarzenegger was pictured having lunch with fellow action star Sylvester Stallone in 2012.
The photos were posted on Zimbio, an entertainment website, and there are several of Schwarzenegger with Stallone.
Comparing the doctored image to the 2012 image, you can see the man standing behind Schwarzenegger in the background is the same. Schwarzenegger’s facial expression and posture are the same in the doctored and original images; the only difference is the design of the t-shirt.
This particular meme featuring Schwarzenegger has been circulating online for years. TinEye, another reverse image search tool, shows results from 2015. This example shows another design on the t-shirt, this time it was an anti-Russian President Vladimir Putin design.
Schwarzenegger didn’t return VERIFY’s request for comment, but has publicly condemned Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Putin launched the invasion in February 2022.
In a roughly 9-minute video posted to his social media channels in March, Schwarzenegger spoke directly to the Russian people and soldiers deployed in Ukraine.
“Ukraine did not start this war, neither did nationalists or Nazis. Those in power in the Kremlin started this war. This is not the Russian people's war. No. As a matter of fact let me tell you what you should know is that 141 nations in the [United Nations] voted that Russia was the aggressor and called for it to remove its troops immediately … See the world has turned against Russia because of its actions in Ukraine,” he says.
He goes on to call the war in Ukraine a “humanitarian crisis” because of Russia’s brutality. He says the Russian people and soldiers haven’t been told the truth and have been fed lies and false information.
As of June 20, the United Nations reported 4,569 civilians had been killed in Ukraine and more than 5,600 injured. | 2022-06-20T20:26:00+00:00 | ktvb.com | https://www.ktvb.com/article/news/verify/world-verify/ukraine-verify/photo-of-arnold-schwarzenegger-wearing-crimea-shirt-fake/536-f8023670-e6aa-4ef7-a27b-c59f94a336cb |
INNSBRUCK, Austria, May 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The independent ISO-certified security testing lab's AV-Comparatives EPR test is the most comprehensive and rigorous assessment of its kind.
The independent ISO-certified security software evaluation lab AV-Comparatives has invited vendors to take part in its Endpoint Prevention and Response (EPR) Test.
The EPR test is the most comprehensive assessment of its kind in the world. Vendors that take part will have the opportunity to demonstrate the power and performance of their solutions to an expert audience including CISOs and cybersecurity decision makers.
Last year's test exposed ten products to fifty separate targeted attack scenarios. AV-Comparatives awarded the top Strategic Leader Award to Bitdefender, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, CrowdStrike, F-Secure, Cisco and ESET. Symantec by Broadcom earned the CyberRisk Visionaries award. Two further vendors reached the Strong Challengers award.
The Strategic Leader Award recognises EPR products that demonstrate high return on investment and a low total cost of ownership. To be named a Strategic Leader, EPR solutions must demonstrate outstanding enterprise-class prevention, detection, response, and reporting capabilities, combined with optimal operational and analyst workflow features.
Peter Stelzhammer, co-founder of AV-Comparatives, said: "Our rigorous assessment is a chance for vendors to demonstrate the power of their solutions and the results will be a valuable resource for businesses that are planning to invest in EPR."
"The cost of a breach has never been higher. Last year, IBM reported that the average cost of a breach was $4.24 million, and this figure may rise in 2022. EPR is an excellent investment for any enterprise that wishes to reduce risk and minimise the negative impact of an attack."
EPR products are used to detect, prevent, analyse, and respond to targeted attacks such as advanced persistent threats (APTs). They detect and block malware or network attacks on individual workstations, as well as multi-stage attacks that affect an organisation's entire network.
EPR solutions should be able to gather intelligence which reveals the origin, methodology and aims of an attack in order to give security staff the ability to contain the threat, stop it from spreading, repair the damage and prevent future incidents.
The EPR test uses a number of techniques to assess the performance of vendors' products. The simulated attacks involve three phases: Endpoint Compromise and Foothold; Internal Propagation and Asset Breach. Each attack continues to the next stage if the solution fails to block the threat.
These tests reveal if the product detects an attack, automatically blocks the threat in an active response or provides the information required for a passive response in which the administrator tackles the threat themselves.
Another focus is the Time-To-Detect window.
AV-Comparatives also assesses products' investigative capabilities, such as the ability to present a timeline of an attack which reveals a breakdown of each phase. The final test investigates each solution's ability to gather and present indicators of compromise in a useful, actionable, and easily understood manner.
Like all AV-Comparatives' public test reports, the 2021 EPR Comparative Report is available for free at this link:

For Colorado basketball fans still holding a candle for the hope of a return to Boulder by Jabari Walker, it is time to blow out that flame.
Additional reinforcements, however, already are on the way.
On Monday night, former Yale guard Jalen Gabbidon announced via his social media accounts that he will continue his collegiate career with the Colorado Buffaloes. The addition of Gabbidon puts the Buffs at a full projection of 13 scholarship players for the first time since last summer and all but shuts the door on a possible return by Walker.
Gabbidon, a 6-foot-5 guard, was on the floor for three seasons with the Bulldogs, ranking second on the team this past season at 11.3 points per game. Gabbidon shot .489 from the field and .806 at the free throw line, earning second team All-Ivy League honors while helping to lead Yale to the conference tournament championship.
Gabbidon scored four points with five rebounds in that conference championship game against Princeton and future CU teammate Ethan Wright, who scored 15 points in that game. Yale lost to Purdue in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
“Leadership, experience, versatility. He can guard multiple positions, play multiple positions,” CU head coach Tad Boyle said. “I think with he and Ethan Wright, we got two of the top probably five or six players in the whole league this year. Jalen is very unique in his skill-set, but he’s also a really unique individual in terms of how bright he is, what his goals are. He knows who he is, and it’s nice to have such a self-aware player come into your program.”
During the 2019-20 season, Gabbidon started all 30 games for Yale, averaging 5.9 points while getting named as the Ivy League’s Defensive Player of the Year. The Ivy League did not compete during the 2020-21 season, but over his final two seasons on the floor for Yale, Gabbidon shot .453 overall with a .318 mark on 3-pointers (54-for-170).
Gabbidon will be one of five newcomers for the 2022-23 Buffs, a list that includes Wright, junior college transfer J’Vonne Hadley, and incoming freshmen Joe Hurlburt and RJ Smith. Like Wright, Gabbidon had to transfer if he wanted to use his final year of eligibility, as the Ivy League does not allow graduate students to compete in varsity athletics.
“They’re loyal, they’re hardworking, they come from winning programs — those boxes are very important to me,” Boyle said. “Jalen is a terrific, terrific young man and he’s coming from a heck of a program.”
As for Walker, Boyle previously told BuffZone the door was not yet shut on a return to Boulder for Walker, a first team All-Pac-12 selection this past season, despite comments made by his father, former NBA veteran Samaki Walker, that his son was “all in” on pursuing a pro career.
The finality of the latest roster shuffle for the Buffs is not much of a surprise. Despite a lack of a formal announcement from Walker regarding his final decision about remaining in the draft pool, he enjoyed a solid showing this past week at the NBA draft combine in Chicago. In two official scrimmages, Walker shot 12-for-22 (2-for-5 on 3-pointers) while averaging 14 points and seven rebounds. | 2022-05-24T23:58:22+00:00 | coloradodaily.com | https://www.coloradodaily.com/2022/05/24/addition-of-yale-transfer-jalen-gabbidon-puts-writing-on-wall-for-jabari-walker-with-cu-buffs/ |

Hundreds of thousands of car owners may want to check the tires on their vehicles.
Michelin announced that it's recalling more than 500,000 tires because they may not provide enough traction in certain situations and cause a crash.
The recall involves Agilis CrossClimate C-Metric tires with DOT codes 0117 through 1423, the notice says.
"The tires are labeled as snow tires, but do not have sufficient traction to perform in all snow weather conditions," a notice with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says.

The company did not report whether any crashes or injuries have been linked to the tires, which were reportedly tested under the improper tire pressure.
Owners should be getting letters in the mail in June about the safety risk of continuing to drive on the tires. Michelin says it's still working on a remedy, but tires will be replaced free of charge.
Drivers with questions about the recall can contact Michelin at 1-888-971-3801.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — A Charlotte sanitation worker led a double life, and was sentenced to more than 15 years in prison after pleading guilty to trafficking fentanyl and cocaine.
According to court documents from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Charlotte resident Gary Lee Davis, 56, admitted to receiving fentanyl and cocaine shipped in bulk via the U.S. Mail from a supplier based in California. He mailed cash drug proceeds back to his supply source in California.
Davis also admitted to trafficking between 50 and 100 kilograms of fentanyl.
In August 2021, he pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute fentanyl and cocaine.
He was caught in the act by law enforcement when he dealt to a confidential source, documents show. In January of that year, Davis sold the person 20 grams of fentanyl. During a subsequent meeting, Davis sold a kilogram of fentanyl, and arranged to sell the source another kilogram in the near future.
A few days later, law enforcement arrested Davis while he was on his way to meet with the source and seized approximately 1.5 kilograms of fentanyl from his vehicle.
Law enforcement also seized six of Davis’s vehicles, including a Maybach and two Mercedes Benz vehicles, two Lexus vehicles, and a Chevrolet Corvette. Law enforcement also seized $300,000 in cash drug proceeds and two loaded firearms.
Davis has a prior federal drug trafficking conviction from the Western District of North Carolina, and he is not permitted to own a firearm or ammunition.
“By day, Davis was as a sanitation worker for the City of Charlotte,” said U.S. Attorney Dena King. “By night, he was a bulk trafficker of fentanyl, a deadly substance that is devastating our communities. I commend our law enforcement partners for conducting an investigation that led to the largest federal seizure of fentanyl in this District. We will continue to focus our efforts on identifying large drug networks and major distributors like Davis and disrupting the flow of illegal fentanyl and other dangerous drugs into our communities.”
Following his sentencing, Davis will be transferred to the custody of the federal Bureau of Prisons upon designation of a federal facility. This case is part of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) operation.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Taylor G. Stout, of the Western N.C. office, prosecuted the case. | 2023-07-20T22:15:34+00:00 | qcnews.com | https://www.qcnews.com/charlotte/former-charlotte-city-sanitation-worker-sentenced-to-more-than-15-years-for-large-scale-fentanyl-trafficking/ |
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have taken date night to the Met Gala red carpet. On Monday, the couple made an appearance at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, looking glamorous and brilliantly chic -- and Lively even pulled off a costume change on the main steps.
This year's Met Gala accompanies the second part of the Costume Institute's exhibition, "In America: An Anthology of Fashion," with the controversial theme "Gilded Glamour and White Tie." The concept is a homage to the United States' Gilded Age, an era of immense economic growth and major industrialization, as well as massive income inequality, political upheaval, and post-Civil War racism.
Lively and Reynolds kept true to the theme, with Reynolds wearing a classic tuxedo -- including a striking gold pocket watch -- and Lively rocking an outfit that began as a shimmering, copper art deco gown, created by Versace.
Then, after some quick adjustments, the gown transformed into a blend of metallic copper and pale green copper patina.
Speaking with ET's Rachel Smith on the red carpet, Lively -- who also rocked Lorraine Schwartz jewelry and Christian Louboutins -- explained her inspiration for the general design of the ensemble.
"I looked at New York City architecture for this event, and I loved the copper patinas," she shared. "I asked Versace if we could do it and they said, 'Oh god, OK, let's try!' And we did."
The transformation was quick, and elicited a surprised cheer from the crowd.
The couple are co-chairs for the grand event alongside Oscar winner Regina King and actor, composer, and director Lin-Manuel Miranda.
Designer Tom Ford, Instagram head Adam Mosseri, and Anna Wintour, the Artistic Director of Condé Nast and the Global Editorial Director of Vogue, also co-chaired the 2022 event after last September's Part One of the In America exhibit.
Lively's last Met Gala appearance was in 2018, where the star went solo as her husband was in Madrid, Spain, for a Deadpool 2 photocall. The Simple Favor actress had no trouble at all shutting down the carpet herself. Lively wore a stunningly regal Atelier Versace gown with sheer paneling down either side, paired with over $2 million worth of Lorraine Schwartz jewelry.
And similar to some of the other fabulous Met Gala looks, Lively honored the year's theme, "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination," with a crown headpiece. And, a true testament to the attention to detail of the ensemble, her hair was actually colored by hairstylist Rona O’Connor of Lukaro Salon to match her dress.
Entertainment Tonight is on the red carpet so keep checking back with ETonline for more coverage from fashion's biggest night.

IRVING, Texas, June 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Darling Ingredients Inc. (NYSE: DAR) today announced it has entered into a letter of intent with Butterball, LLC to explore the construction of a new poultry rendering plant adjacent to Butterball's Mt. Olive, North Carolina, facility.
The new facility being explored is anticipated to be able to process about 18 million pounds of material weekly through three lines. Pending permits and the execution of definitive agreements, construction would likely begin in early 2024 and be completed in 2025.
"Darling Ingredients is committed to supporting its customers and agricultural growth in North Carolina," said Randall C. Stuewe, Darling Ingredients Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "A new Mt.

Olive community, providing positive economic impacts, including jobs, for many in the area," said Jay Jandrain, President and Chief Executive Officer of Butterball, LLC.

Disc golf store opens in downtown Albert Lea
Published 1:36 pm Tuesday, July 12, 2022
By Marissa Hanson
Shawn Whiteaker recently opened a disc golf store in downtown Albert Lea called Kashing Chains LLC.
Disc golf is something Whiteaker has done since he was little. He said his dad was the one who introduced him to it, but he didn’t get into it “until the past five years or so.”
Since then his passion has grown, and he started to save money to create something of his own.
Whiteaker had several reasons why he went after this business idea. He saw a hole in the market and the lack of a place for people who enjoy disc golf to connect.
“The [disc golf] community needed it,” Whiteaker said. “I want to provide a space for disc golfers.”
Whiteaker opened Kashing Chains LLC for his son, Kash, as well, naming it after him.
“It’s something for my son to look forward to,” Whiteaker said.
He has a team playing on behalf of Kashing Chains LLC in noncompetitive disc golf events. They wear his merchandise and help spread the word of his shop to others.
Whiteaker said he sells almost anything disc golf related at his store, including shirts and sweatshirts with his logo on it, stickers, lots of different discs, bags, disc markers and water bottles.
Kashing Chains LLC is at 406 S. Broadway Ave., right across from the Freeborn County courthouse.

DoorDash on Thursday said it received a record number of customer orders in the second quarter, boosted by resilient demand and its acquisition of Finnish delivery service Wolt Enterprises.
DoorDash said orders grew 23% to 426 million in the April-June period, surpassing Wall Street’s expectations. Analysts polled by FactSet forecast total orders of 419 million. The delivery company’s gross order volume jumped 25% to $13 billion, also beating expectations.
Based on the strong results, San Francisco-based DoorDash raised its full-year order forecast. The company now expects gross order volumes between $51 billion and $53 billion, up from the $49 billion to $51 billion range it forecast earlier this year.
DoorDash shares jumped 13.5% in after-hours trading.
DoorDash said its net loss for the quarter more than doubled to $263 million as it closed the $8.1 billion acquisition of Wolt. The company said stock-based compensation costs and increased headcounts hurt profits. Wolt has around 6,000 employees.
The company lost 72 cents per share in the April-June period, compared to a 30-cent per share loss in the same period a year ago. That was far larger than the 21-cent per share loss Wall Street expected.
DoorDash said it hasn’t seen much negative impact from inflation. Consumers added slightly fewer items per order in response to higher prices at restaurants and other retailers. But the company also gained customers during the quarter.
DoorDash CEO Tony Xu said DoorDash’s growth __ it has added 80,000 stores to its platform over the last year __ is one reason sales continue to grow even as consumers pull back on some spending. Xu said history also shows that food spending rarely declines due to economic conditions.
“It is less of a discretionary spend relative to other categories of spend,” Xu said Thursday during a conference call with investors.
The company also hit an all-time high for DashPass members, indicating users are seeking more affordable options. DashPass members get free delivery on most orders; the membership costs $59 in the first year and $96 annually after that.
DoorDash didn’t provide an update Thursday on the number of DashPass members it has. But it has previously said that the number tops 10 million.
DoorDash also said it also gained drivers during the quarter and was able to retain them with benefits like gas-cost relief and mileage-based bonuses. DoorDash said it spent $40 million on those benefits during the quarter.
DoorDash said high inflation is likely causing more people to consider gig work for extra cash. The typical DoorDash driver makes deliveries for just four hours per week; 90% work under 10 hours per week.
The company said its full-year outlook anticipates softer consumer spending in the second half of this year. DoorDash could also potentially lose customers to rival Grubhub, which recently combined with Amazon to offer free delivery for a year.
DoorDash announced in November its plan to buy Wolt, which operates in 22 countries where DoorDash has no presence, including Germany, Sweden, Hungary and Israel. | 2022-08-05T13:27:01+00:00 | keloland.com | https://www.keloland.com/business/ap-business/doordash-sees-record-orders-in-q2-as-it-combines-with-wolt/ |
ALEXANDRIA, Va. (WRIC) — Police in Alexandria are asking for help identifying a woman they say is not communicating with them and is carrying no identifying information.
According to the Alexandria Police Department, a woman was found on the 3800 block of Edison Street. She is not communicating with police and is carrying no identification.
The woman has grey hair and blue and grey eyes, she stands about 5-foot 3-inches tall and is believed to be in her 60s. Anyone who knows the identity of the woman is asked to call Alexandria Police at 703-746-4444. | 2022-10-03T23:45:57+00:00 | wric.com | https://www.wric.com/news/northern-virginia/alexandria-police-asking-for-help-identifying-woman/ |
MANILA – At least 21 people died and 40 others were rescued after a Philippine passenger boat overturned Thursday when it was lashed by strong winds in Laguna Lake southeast of Manila, police said.
Police said rescue operations were continuing, but did not immediately provide figures for the total number of people on board the MBCA Aya when it capsized in Rizal province.
The boat capsized when its passengers moved to one side of the boat in panic when it was battered by fierce winds about 46 meters (about 150 feet) from Kalinawan village in Binangonan town, the coast guard said.
The Rizal provincial police said it immediately launched a search and rescue operation with the help of the coast guard and other local authorities and at that least 40 people were saved but 21 others drowned.
“The operation is still ongoing for the possible rescue of other passengers,” the Rizal police said in a statement. It did not provide other details like how many passengers and crewmembers were onboard the boat when it overturned, but police promised to provide updates.
Typhoon Doksuri moved away Thursday after battering the northern Philippines and enhancing seasonal monsoon rains in a large swath of the archipelago.
The boat sinking brought the death toll from stormy weather to at least 30. At least nine people were reported killed earlier, mostly due to landslides, flooding and toppled trees and thousands were displaced, disaster response officials said.
Sea travel was suspended in many ports during Doksuri's onslaught from Tuesday to Wednesday, stranding thousands of passengers and cargo trucks. The no-sail orders were gradually lifted Thursday as weather improved in many areas.
Coast guard spokesman Armand Balilo said the passenger boat had been cleared to sail from Binangonan town to nearby Talim island because the typhoon had blown out of the country.
At least four northern provinces remained under cyclone wind alert, banning fishing boats and smaller vessels from venturing out to sea. Rains, however, continued to swamp several towns and cities farther south, including in the densely populated capital region, metropolitan Manila, which lies to the west of Rizal province.
Sea accidents are common in the Philippine archipelago because of frequent storms, badly maintained boats, overcrowding and weak enforcement of safety regulations. In December 1987, the ferry Dona Paz sank after colliding with a fuel tanker, killing more than 4,300 people in the world’s worst peacetime maritime disaster. | 2023-07-27T13:23:35+00:00 | wsls.com | https://www.wsls.com/news/world/2023/07/27/wind-tossed-boat-with-dozens-of-people-aboard-overturns-in-philippines-search-and-rescue-underway/ |
Mr. President, the world is dying to know. Is it boxers or briefs?
What is it? A memory of better, cooler days for many Gen Xers and Millennials.
What's the big deal? Aside from the fact that time marches on endlessly, the shutdown of MTV News was actually part of larger layoffs at Paramount Global.
What are people saying? Here's what some former hosts had to say
I was a nobody with a love for pop culture and a 1-chip miniDV camera before that place gave me a ticket backstage to the world. Some of my best friends, greatest experiences and most treasured memories were spent there. RIP to MTV News.

Source: Isaiah Vazquez / Getty Steph Curry makes shots, no matter the sports. The NBA superstar made a hole-in-one during a celebrity golf tournament, adding another clip to his already impressive highlight reel. On Saturday (July 15), Chef Curry made a hole-in-one at the American Century Championship celebrity tournament in Stateline, Nevada. Of course, a clip of the shot made it online and Curry can be seen hitting the golf ball, watching the drive and then excitedly sprinting down the fairway at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course to the green while celebrating like he just hit one of his NBA game-winners. He also slapped the flagstick for good measure. “That was wild,” Curry told ESPN about the shot. “It was good contact, right at the stick, but even if you’re painting the flag and it looks good, you never really expect it to go in. I just saw a bunch of hands go up, and then you just kind of black out.” When golf and Black people are involved, we thoroughly approve. “Shooters Shoot!!! Hole In One vibes out here in Lake Tahoe,” wrote Curry on Twitter along with a photo of his scorecard after his feat.

HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) — Zimbabwe’s rainy season brings a bonanza of wild mushrooms, which many rural families feast upon and sell to boost their incomes.
But the bounty also comes with danger as each year there are reports of people dying after eating poisonous fungi. Discerning between safe and toxic mushrooms has evolved into an inter-generational transfer of indigenous knowledge from mothers to daughters. Rich in protein, antioxidants and fiber, wild mushrooms are a revered delicacy and income earner in Zimbabwe, where food and formal jobs are scarce for many.
Beauty Waisoni, 46, who lives on the outskirts of the capital, Harare, typically wakes up at dawn, packs plastic buckets, a basket, plates and a knife before trekking to a forest 15 kilometers (9 miles) away.
Her 13-year-old daughter Beverly is in tow, as an apprentice. In the forest, the two join other pickers, mainly women working side by side with their children, combing through the morning dew for shoot-ups under trees and dried leaves.
Police routinely warn people of the hazards of consuming wild mushrooms. In January, three girls in one family died after eating poisonous wild mushrooms. Such reports filter through each season. A few years ago 10 family members died after consuming poisonous mushrooms.
To avoid such a deadly outcome, Waisoni teaches her daughter how to identify safe mushrooms.
“She will kill people, and the business, if she gets it wrong,” said Waisoni, who says she started picking wild mushrooms as a young girl. Within hours, her baskets and buckets become filled up with small red and brown buttons covered in dirt.
Women such as Waisoni are dominant players in Zimbabwe’s mushroom trade, said Wonder Ngezimana, an associate professor of horticulture at the Marondera University of Agricultural Science and Technology.
“Predominantly women have been gatherers and they normally go with their daughters. They transfer the indigenous knowledge from one generation to the other,” Ngezimana told The Associated Press.
They distinguish edible mushrooms from poisonous ones by breaking and detecting “milk-like liquid oozing out,” and by scrutinizing the color beneath and the top of the mushrooms, he said. They also look for good collection points such as anthills, the areas near certain types of indigenous trees and decomposing baobab trees, he said.
About one in four women who forage for wild mushrooms are often accompanied by their daughters, according to research carried out by Ngezimana and colleagues at the university in 2021. In “just few cases” — 1.4% — mothers were accompanied by a boy child.
“Mothers were better knowledgeable of wild edible mushrooms compared to their counterparts — fathers,” noted the researchers. The researchers interviewed close to 100 people and observed mushroom collection in Binga, a district in western Zimbabwe where growing Zimbabwe’s staple food, maize, is largely unviable due to droughts and poor land quality. Many families in the Binga are too poor to afford basic food and other items.
So mushroom season is important for the families. On average, each family made just over $100 a month from selling wild mushrooms, in addition to relying on the fungi for their own household food consumption, according to the research.
In large part due to harsh weather conditions, about a quarter of Zimbabwe’s 15 million people are food insecure, meaning that they’re not sure where their next meal will come from, according to aid agencies. Zimbabwe has one of the world’s highest rates of food inflation at 264%, according to the International Monetary Fund.
To promote safe mushroom consumption and year-round income generation, the government is promoting small-scale commercial production of certain types such as oyster mushrooms.
But it appears the wild ones remain the most popular.
“They come in as a better delicacy. Even the aroma is totally different to that of the mushroom we do on a commercial aspect, so people love them and in the process communities make some money,” said Ngezimana.
Waisoni, the Harare trader, says the wild mushrooms have helped her put children through school and also weather the harsh economic conditions that have battered Zimbabwe for the past two decades.
Her pre-dawn trip to the forest marks just the beginning of a day-long process. From the bush, Waisoni heads to a busy highway. Using a knife and water, she cleans the mushrooms before joining the stiff competition of other mushroom sellers hoping to attract passing motorists.
A speeding motorist hooted frantically to warn traders on the sides of the road to move away. Instead, the sellers charged forward, tripping over each other in hopes of scoring a sale.
One motorist, Simbisai Rusenya, stopped and said he can’t pass the seasonal wild mushrooms. But, aware of the reported deaths from poisonous ones, he needed some convincing before buying.
“Looks appetizing, but won’t it kill my family?” he asked.
Waisoni randomly picked a button from her basket and calmly chewed it to reassure him. “See?” she said, “It’s safe!” | 2023-03-19T10:23:56+00:00 | seattletimes.com | https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/in-zimbabwes-rainy-season-women-forage-for-wild-mushrooms/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_nation-world |

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is seeking public feedback about the size of airplane seats.
The agency is asking for assistance so it can determine minimum dimensions for passenger seats.
The FAA isn't necessarily concerned about comfort. Instead, the agency wants to ensure the seats don't prevent people from evacuating in emergencies.
"The FAA has assessed what safety issues could be associated with seat dimensions and concluded that additional data regarding evacuations could be valuable," the agency said.
The dimensions the FAA is evaluating include seat pitch, width and length | 2022-08-04T18:30:12+00:00 | ktvh.com | https://www.ktvh.com/news/national/faa-wants-feedback-about-seat-sizes-on-planes |
West African cuisine has been pinging on my healthy-food radar a lot lately. Several months ago, I spontaneously picked up a package of fonio — a gluten-free West African grain that has recently become more widely available. I was delighted by this tiny millet, which cooks in just 5 minutes, coming out light and fluffy, with a gentle nutty flavor.
Shortly after that, a friend introduced me to Ginjan Café, in New York City, which features healthful, African-inspired dishes, and a lively, not-too-sweet signature drink of ginger, pineapple and lemon, which the owners developed to satisfy their longing for a taste of their hometown in Guinea. (That drink, and others, are now available on their website.)
Then I met Zoe Adjonyoh and discovered her cookbook, “Zoe’s Ghana Kitchen,” which opened my eyes further to the wealth of healthful ingredients and dishes from that region. In an email exchange with me she wrote, “I think American audiences are only at the beginning of their journey when it comes to foods from across Africa and there is so much to learn and explore which makes the gap exciting, and there are now plenty of cooks, chefs, dietitians and nutritionists from the continent starting to get the word out.”
This recipe, a chale sauce, is inspired by a meal her dad would regularly make for her. Adjonyoh writes in her book that he would whip this sauce up “and then literally throw in any type of meat, fish or vegetarian protein, but it was always tasty.” Its base is a version of a Ghanaian passata, a tomato sauce that is also used as a seasoning element in recipes throughout her book.
When I first made the sauce, as I was adding the spices I felt certain it was going to be way too fiery for me, even with my high heat tolerance, but I was surprised at how the flavors mellowed in the cooked tomato base. Prepared as written, the heat level is a solid medium, which you can certainly adjust to taste.
The sauce’s intense flavor makes it an ideal foil for the richness of fatty fish, such as sardines or mackerel, with all their omega-3 goodness. Using canned or jarred sardines, as in this recipe, also makes it a convenient weeknight meal. Adjonyoh suggests serving the fish and sauce with a squeeze of lemon and with a ball of banku or kenkey, a big dumpling made with fermented cornmeal (and/or cassava) which can be purchased premade at most African grocers or online.
I enjoyed mine spooned over a bed of the fonio I had just bought, which, along with rice as an alternative, Adjonyoh also recommends.
Chale Sauce With Sardines
Make Ahead: The sauce can be made before adding the fish and refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 6 months.
Storage: Refrigerate for up to 4 days.
Where to Buy: Fonio can be found at well-stocked supermarkets, West African markets or online.

Ingredients
- 3/4 cup canned diced or crushed tomatoes, with their juices, or 10 ounces fresh tomatoes, seeded and chopped
- 1 jarred roasted red pepper
- 1 small white onion (5 ounces), roughly chopped
- One (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, roughly chopped
- 1/2 small red Scotch bonnet or habanero chile, seeded, or 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne for a milder heat
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon extra-hot Madras curry powder (may substitute regular Madras curry powder)
- 1/2 teaspoon extra-hot chili powder (may substitute regular chili powder)
- 1/2 teaspoon fine salt, plus more to taste
- 12 ounces canned sardines, in oil, drained
- Lemon wedges, for serving
- Cooked rice, fonio, kenkey or banku, for serving (see headnote)
Step 1
In a blender, combine the tomatoes, roasted pepper, onion, ginger, chile, tomato paste, crushed red pepper flakes, garlic, curry and chili powders, and salt and blend on high speed until you have a smooth paste.
Step 2
Transfer the mixture to a medium saucepan, set over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat so the sauce is at a simmer and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the ingredients have melded, about 30 minutes.
Step 3
Gently add the sardines to the sauce and cook until warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully, so as not to break the sardines, transfer to a platter and serve with lemon wedges as well as rice, fonio, or kenkey or banku (see headnote).

Pennsylvania’s former top law enforcement officer, who once served jail time for leaking secret investigative files and lying about it, was acquitted Monday of drunken driving.
Police said Kane told officers she was a designated driver, but surveillance video showed Kane herself had been drinking alcohol at a Scranton restaurant shortly before the crash, according to a police affidavit. Officers asserted Kane had watery, bloodshot eyes, slurred her words and failed a field sobriety test.
Kane’s lawyer, Jason Mattioli, said police body camera footage showed her entering and exiting a vehicle without difficulty. He added that officers made her take the field sobriety test on a snow- and ice-covered parking lot in driving wind.
“She was set up to fail,” he said in a phone interview after the verdict.
Kane was taken to a DUI processing center, where other law enforcement officers and staff said they did not smell alcohol on her or detect impairment, Mattioli said.
Police said Kane refused a blood test.
Lackawanna County District Attorney Mark Powell said he was disappointed in the judge’s decision.
“Given the strength of the evidence we presented, I struggle to understand how the judge could find her not guilty,” he said via email.
Once a rising star in Pennsylvania politics, Kane was the first woman and first Democrat elected as the state’s top prosecutor. She resigned after being convicted in 2016 of perjury, obstruction and other counts for leaking secret investigative files to embarrass a rival prosecutor.
Kane served eight months of a 10-to-23 month sentence. She was was released in 2019.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A three-judge panel with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's Patent Trial and Appeal Board in Washington, D.C., has issued a complete victory for Houston-based oilfield products manufacturer G&H Diversified Manufacturing LP and the firm's attorneys from Houston's Alavi Anaipakos in what observers are calling a "bet-the-industry" lawsuit for oilfield equipment providers.
"We are extremely happy for our clients," says Alavi Anaipakos co-founder Amir Alavi, lead trial counsel for G&H Diversified Manufacturing. "This judgment will protect all the manufacturers who build one of the key pieces of equipment used in today's oil and gas drilling industry."
The 139-page judgment issued on October 28, 2022, followed arguments presented before the PTAB by Alavi Anaipakos attorneys Joshua Wyde and Steve Jugle. Mr. Alavi and the firm's Michael McBride played critical roles in each phase of the litigation.
G&H and several other oilfield equipment providers were sued in a series of patent infringement lawsuits in late December 2020 and early spring 2021. The lawsuits filed by Germany's DynaEnergetics Europe GMBH accused G&H and others of infringing U.S. Patent No. 10,844,697 B2, which covers components in perforation guns that create openings in casings used in oil and gas well drilling.
The Alavi Anaipakos attorneys immediately pursued an aggressive strategy to end DynaEnergetics' infringement campaign. In one of their first moves as lead counsel for G&H, the Alavi Anaipakos lawyers took the lead in defending the industry by petitioning the PTAB for a post-grant review of the contested patent before the district court litigation ever got off the ground.
The PTAB responded by instituting a review of the patent, and the Alavi Anaipakos team requested a stay on the underlying lawsuit pending the PTAB's decision. In a rare move, the case was put on hold in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas even though the presiding judge said a few months earlier that he had granted similar stays only "one or two" times in his career.
In the PTAB judgment, the panel held that G&H "has proven, by a preponderance of the evidence, the unpatentability" of 21 different claims associated with the DynaEnergetics patent.
Houston-based Alavi Anaipakos is home to high-stakes trial lawyers known for solving complex problems. The firm's attorneys have handled some of the world's largest patent infringement disputes and significant commercial cases across a wide variety of industries, from oil and gas, energy, software, high-tech, financial services, and beyond.

MADRID (AP) — Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva arrived in Spain on Tuesday on the second stop of a European tour aimed at resetting relations and making progress on a long-delayed trade deal between the European Union and the South American bloc Mercosur.
Following five days spent in Portugal, Lula attended a business forum in Madrid before meetings with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and King Felipe VI on Wednesday.
The pending EU-Mercosur trade deal will be high on the agenda. The 27-member EU completed negotiations with Mercosur, which includes Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay, in 2019. But ratification has stalled.
Spain takes over the rotating EU presidency in July, while Brazil will simultaneously assume the equivalent role in Mercosur. Both are eager to finalize pending aspects of the deal.
“Brazil and Mercosur partners are engaged in dialogue to conclude the negotiations with the European Union and we hope to have good news this year,” Lula tweeted following meetings with Spanish business leaders. ”It is a very important agreement for everyone and we want it to be balanced and to contribute to the reindustrialization of Brazil.”
The Mercosur-EU agreement will mean the integration of a market of around 800 million people, about a fourth of the world’s gross domestic product and more than $100 billion in bilateral trade of goods and services. The deal would cut customs duties and ease access for agricultural exporters to the EU market, and for European manufacturers to Mercosur countries.
Lula added that conditions “are right” to deepen commercial cooperation, singling out his hosts.
“We want to attract a new wave of Spanish investments. The infrastructure investment program that I will launch next May will bring promising opportunities,” he said.
Ratification has stalled because of EU worries over deforestation stoked during the leadership of Lula’s predecessor, Jair Bolsonaro, though Lula’s reelection has assuaged these fears, according to Spanish officials. Bolsonaro defanged environmental authorities, encouraged illegal gold mining in Indigenous areas and oversaw a surge in deforestation to its fastest rate in two decades. However, France remains preoccupied with protecting its farmers from imported Latin American goods.
Jordi Cañas, a center-right lawmaker from Spain in the European Parliament, said that he hoped a final draft agreement would be ready for the July 17-18 joint EU summit with the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC).
“Pedro Sánchez has the obligation to lead the closing of the negotiations currently underway in order to have a document that can be signed and ratified at the EU-CELAC summit as a clear and forceful political message to strengthen EU-Latin America relations,” he told The Associated Press. “This moment requires political leadership that is equal to the opportunity that the EU-Mercosur agreement represents.”
José Antonio Sanahuja, an international relations professor and special adviser to the EU’s high representative for foreign affairs, Josep Borrell, said that Lula has strived to project his administration’s environmental credentials.
“It was very difficult for the European community and parliament to accept an agreement given that (Bolsonaro’s) nefarious environmental policy,” said Sanahuja, who is also director of the Carolina Foundation, which promotes educational and scientific cooperation internationally. More stringent environmental requirements may be added to the deal in annexes, he added.
The trip is an opportunity for Lula to ease tensions with Europe after his recent statements on Ukraine. Earlier this month, the Brazilian leader said that both Ukraine and Russia had decided to go to war, and claimed that the U.S. and EU were “stimulating” the fighting — drawing sharp rebukes from both.
During his first joint news conference with Portuguese President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, Lula made clear that Brazil condemned Russia’s occupation of Ukrainian territory, had voted to that effect at the United Nations, and denied ever having equated Ukraine with Russia. But he also said that anyone not talking about peace was contributing to war.
The risk is that Lula’s repeated clarifications of his position will overshadow potential achievements, said Bruna Santos, director of the Brazil Institute at the Woodrow Wilson Center.
“Just like with his trip to China, his mentions regarding the situation in Ukraine took the focus of public opinion away from the results and economic ambitions of the visit,” Santos said regarding his recent travel to Portugal.

NEW YORK, June 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of Eqonex Limited f/k/a Diginex Limited (OTC: EQOSQ) securities between March 7, 2022 and November 29, 2022, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period") and/or unregistered securities between April 8, 2021 and April 20, 2023 (the "Unregistered Securities Class Period") (collectively, the "Classes"), of the important June 20, 2023 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Eqonex securities during the Class Period and/or unregistered securities (including EQO Tokens) between April 8, 2021 and April 20, 2023 you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Eqonex class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=15304 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than June 20, 2023. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) defendants were not interested in leveraging the Eqonex Exchange or deploying resources to strengthen that technology; (2) Eqonex had no way of paying Bifinity, a payments technology company affiliated with Binance, back pursuant to the loan agreement; (3) defendants had no intention of consummating a merger between Eqonex and Bifinity or Binance; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects, were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the Eqonex class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=15304 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

LINCOLN, Neb. — On a winter day in February, students at St. Joseph elementary school in Lincoln, Nebraska, dress up in costumes for Future Career Day. While there's fun to be had in the classroom, Principal Kevin Naumann says staffing those rooms has been a difficult experience.
"It has required us to start the interview process earlier, um, and go a little bit later to get our staff," he said.
St. Joseph is one of the lucky schools in the country without staff vacancies, but filling teacher slots is a huge headache.
"They're in higher demand," he tells me.
This is why is Naumann, a military veteran, is backing a proposed bill in Nebraska that would fast-track vets who were not dishonorably discharged into the teaching profession.
"There's a lot of potential coming out of the service and those service members have a lot to offer," he said.
"We know that we have teacher shortages across the state and public schools, hundreds of openings in larger public schools districts, but Catholic schools are not immune," said Jeremy Eckler of the Nebraska Catholic Conference.
He says the bill would give veterans who served at least four years a fast track to a teaching certificate, as well as have them paired with teaching mentors. The bill also requires the vets to pass a test on the subject they will be teaching.
"We don't have programs in place that are thinking like we have an immediate need right now. So, how do we make the profession attractive, and how do we find pathways that keep the bar high but widen the path so that professionals can enter this field?" Eckler said.
Nebraska isn't the only state thinking about this. Florida passed a nearly identical bill last summer. While it was praised by some as a solution to the classroom shortage problem, the statewide teachers union said the qualifications aren't enough to produce quality teachers. The Nebraska State Education Association agrees.
"I want to start off right from the outset and just say NSEA supports vets in the classroom; that's not the problem with the bill. There's a couple of things that are problematic with this bill," said Isau Metes with the Nebraska State Education Association.
Metes says her teacher's union believes the bill is too lenient about accepting veterans with various discharge statuses, the education requirements aren't stringent enough and the state needs to figure out a better way to keep teachers teaching.
"It's not just about recruitment or getting bodies into the classroom; it's also about the retention piece," she said.
While solutions at the legislative level across the country are sorted out, school administrators hope this issue remains top of mind until vacancies are filled. | 2023-02-21T16:55:09+00:00 | wkbw.com | https://www.wkbw.com/news/national/as-teacher-shortage-worsens-states-look-to-veterans-as-one-potential-solution |

MEXICO CITY (AP) — The Sandinista National Liberation Front completed its political domination of Nicaragua on Monday as electoral officials said it had won control of all the country’s 153 municipalities in elections that critics called unfair.
Coming into Sunday’s elections, the party of President Daniel Ortega already controlled 141 of Nicaragua’s municipalities. But having outlawed the country’s main opposition parties and jailed dozens of opposition figures, the field was clear for the Sandinistas’ sweep.
They appeared to achieve de facto single-party status, wresting control of the last 12 municipalities that had been in the hands of other parties, though those groups were considered collaborationist by much of the exiled opposition.
The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights expressed concern Friday that “the minimum conditions necessary” to hold free and fair elections do not exist in Nicaragua. It called on the government to reestablish democratic guarantees and stop the repression.
The government has shuttered some 2,000 nongovernmental groups and more than 50 media outlets as it cracked down on voices of dissent. Some 100 civil society organizations were closed Friday, the government announced.
First lady and Vice President Rosario Murillo told government media that the elections confirmed “the unity around peace and the good, as the only path” for the country. “We had an exemplary, marvelous, formidable day in which we confirm our calling for peace.”
Nicaragua has been in political and social upheaval since big street protests that broke out in April 2018 became a referendum on Ortega’s rule. More than 200,000 Nicaraguans have fled the country since, most to neighboring Costa Rica.
Ahead of national elections last November when Ortega was elected to a fouth consecutive term, authorities locked up leading opposition figures, including six likely challengers. Since his re-election, Ortega has further cracked down on dissent, going so far as to jail an outspoken Roman Catholic bishop and other clergy. | 2022-11-08T12:23:53+00:00 | ksn.com | https://www.ksn.com/top-stories/ap-top-headlines/ap-sandinistas-complete-their-political-domination-of-nicaragua/ |
TUPELO, Miss. (WTVA) - Itawamba Community College (ICC) hosted a unique recruitment event on Friday to show high school students what it's really like to work in an emergency room.
The event is called Code Blue and Red. Students watched demonstrations that replicated real-life situations, like a car crash victim being rushed to the ER.
"With these scenarios, it's as close to real life as we can create,” Director of Recruiting and Orientation Michael Holloway said. “So there are going to be things that they see today that are very graphic. That is a reality of those jobs, so hopefully they'll see that. They'll either shy away from it or want to jump right in."
Dean of Health Sciences Tonya Vaughn said, "They can go actually into a surgery suite. They can actually go into the back of the ambulance. They can scan an abdomen to see the baby in it."
Approximately 70 students attended the event. This was the event's third year. ICC hopes to expand the program into becoming bi-annually. | 2023-02-10T22:35:26+00:00 | wtva.com | https://www.wtva.com/news/high-school-students-experience-real-life-medical-scenarios/article_5fbdb980-a983-11ed-ad75-53667c1248eb.html |

Man gets life in prison for fatally stabbing child more than 50 times
RENO, Nev. (KOLO/Gray News) - A man who killed a 12-year-old boy will spend the rest of his life in prison.
According to the Washoe County District Attorney’s Office, 44-year-old Edward Rivas stabbed the boy more than 50 times before setting him on fire, apparently to cover up the evidence.
Rivas pleaded guilty to first-degree murder with the use of a deadly weapon and to first-degree arson.
KOLO reports the 44-year-old was sentenced to life in prison without the opportunity for parole.
Authorities said an additional 20 years was also added to Rivas’ prison sentence for using a deadly weapon and another 15 years for arson.
The boy, identified as Stevie Jamon, was found dead at a Reno-area home in September 2020. Police said Rivas lived at the house for a short time with Stevie and his mother. The fire Rivas set also killed the family dog.

Referendums Seek To Block Election Grants From Zuckerberg, Others
Four counties will ask voters nonbinding question regarding election grants.
Voters in four Wisconsin counties will be asked in November whether the state should ban private grants to help local communities with the cost of running elections.
The advisory referenda, on the ballot in Waukesha, Price, Lincoln and Brown counties, follow an attempt by Republicans in the Legislature to outlaw outside funds for election administration — first through legislation, which Gov. Tony Evers vetoed, and subsequently through a proposed amendment to the state constitution.
They target private grants such as those that went to communities across Wisconsin in 2020 to help them manage the presidential election that November.
Banning nonpartisan grants to bolster elections operations “is part and parcel of a well organized national effort by far-right activists to limit the ability of local election officials to do as much as they can to turn out the vote,” said Matt Rothschild, executive director of the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign.
“Here in Wisconsin, a lot of the local election officials and offices are underfunded, and that’s one of the reasons why they’ve been taking some outside money,” he added. “But it’s also part of this campaign, looking back at 2020, to say that the outside money somehow threw the election to Joe Biden.”
Advisory referenda on banning grants are on the ballot in Brown, Lincoln, Price and Waukesha counties. In Brown, Lincoln and Price counties, the identically phrased ballot questions ask voters: “Should the State of Wisconsin prohibit election officials from soliciting or using private funds, technology or services from special interest groups, people, or other private entities for the purpose of administering elections and referendums?”
Pandemic election support
In Waukesha County, the grant-related question is second of two on the November ballot. It is worded more broadly than in the other three counties, and it specifically asks voters about a prospective constitutional amendment:
“Should the Wisconsin Legislature prepare and place on the statewide ballot a Constitutional Amendment prohibiting non-governmental entities and any individual other than election officials designated by law from funding, managing or performing any task in election administration?”
At a meeting Aug. 15 when the county board executive committee voted 5-1 to send the resolution to the full board, however, Wolff told the other board members the measures were intended to restore trust among voters.
“Wolff said he is not an election denier but a large amount of people have lost trust in the election process and it’s important to have consistency to grow confidence,” according to the minutes from the committee meeting.
But advocates who oppose outlawing private support for election administration argue that it’s not the grants that have diminished trust, but rather the attempts to discredit them by people who haven’t accepted the 2020 election outcome.
The 2020 grants were critical to helping ensure a safe and smooth election that November, said Jay Heck, executive director of the Wisconsin chapter of Common Cause, which promotes voting rights and other good-government policies.
With the COVID-19 pandemic just beginning to unfold earlier in the year, local election clerks confronted unexpected challenges. Many veteran poll workers, often elderly people, dropped out to avoid being exposed to the novel coronavirus.
In the April 2020 election, 111 municipalities told the Wisconsin Elections Commission that they had to close at least one polling station because they had too few poll workers, and another 126 reported having to consolidate polling stations in response to dwindling personnel. On that Election Day, the city of Milwaukee opened just five polling stations instead of its usual 180.
“That money went to help counties that didn’t have the resources” that they needed to ensure that voting was as safe and efficient, Heck said. “Any municipality or county or city or town that applied for it got it.”
The grants covered salaries for replacement poll workers. It also paid for personal protective equipment such as masks for poll workers and plastic dividers that were erected at many polling stations to help curb the spread of the virus, he added.
The claim that the money was used to “drive turnout of Democratic voters” is erroneous, Heck said. “The money wasn’t directed for turnout — the money was directed to supplement the budgets of local elections administrators.”
Trump supporters target assistance
Nevertheless, those grants, funded in part by donations totaling $350 million from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, have become a target for Trump supporters claiming the 2020 election outcome wasn’t legitimate.
Even before the election, a lawsuit claiming that the grants were “bribery” disproportionately directed to Democratic-supporting cities was thrown out of federal court. The Wisconsin Elections Commission rebuffed a similar complaint and this June, a Dane County circuit court judge also rejected the bribery allegation.
Republican legislators have responded by trying to outlaw private grants in the future. A bill that passed both houses of the Legislature in February with only GOP votes included a provision to outlaw private grants for local election administration. Gov. Tony Evers vetoed the measure.
In the final days of the regular legislative session in February, however, lawmakers voted again on the issue, this time in the form of a joint resolution to amend the state constitution.
That, too, passed along party lines, and is not subject to the governor’s veto. To become final, it will have to pass the Legislature again in the 2023-24 biennium, then go to voters in a referendum to ratify it. The Waukesha County advisory referendum’s grant-related language overlaps the language in the Legislature’s proposed amendment.
On a separate track, in Walworth County in April and Kenosha County in July, county boards have enacted ordinances that forbid their county clerks from accepting outside grant money.
In the city of Kenosha, an alder brought a proposal to the city council in September that would impose such a ban for the city’s election administration. The council referred the proposal to the finance committee, where it was put on the agenda Sept. 19 and died when no committee member would make a formal motion to take it up.
Making election administration uniform
Along with Waukesha County’s grant-related referendum, the other ballot question in November asks voters: “Should the Wisconsin Legislature prepare and place on the statewide ballot a Constitutional Amendment requiring that election administration, access to ballots, and counting of ballots be nearly uniform as practicable?”
Heck called that measure “an attempt to do what Republicans have been doing statewide, which is to try to ‘bring uniformity’ to state elections regardless of whether it was equitable.”
Ensuring uniformity was the justification that GOP lawmakers made when they enacted legislation in 2014 limiting early voting statewide to the two weeks before Election Day, he said.
That was a marked reduction for some cities, which previously had opened up early voting as much as a month earlier. Proponents of limiting early voting to a shorter period argued that rural communities lacked the resources to staff early voting for so long a time, so that it was more fair to limit everyone.
Heck said larger metro areas such as Milwaukee, Dane and Brown counties “have different issues than other, smaller counties, and require more time” for early voting to work smoothly.
Simply calling for uniformity “could be a race to the bottom,” said Rothschild of the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign.
“By making it uniform across the state, the clerk’s office with the least amount of money would be setting the lowest standard by which every other clerk’s office would have to administer their elections,” Rothschild said. “There should be flexibility for clerks to be able to make it as easy as possible for our citizens to register to vote and to vote.”
‘No one was expecting it’
In Waukesha County, voters have just begun hearing about the advisory referendum questions on their ballots in the last week, as absentee ballots began arriving in the mail.
“The biggest issue was that no one was expecting it,” said Waukesha resident Kristin Hansen, who is a Common Cause board member and is active in voting rights in the county. “A lot of us who are known as voting rights advocates are getting questions about it.”
The proposals got almost no attention when the county board took up the resolution over the summer to put them on the ballot.
“I didn’t know anything about it until around the middle of August,” Hansen said, when county board member Larry Nelson brought the resolution to put the referendums on the ballot to her attention.
Nelson was one of just two supervisors on the 25-member board to vote against the resolution in August. He told the Wisconsin Examiner that on policy grounds he thought they were unnecessary.
“There is no real evidence of election fraud or problems,” Nelson said. “All the recounts and challenges showed that the [2020] election was very well run.”
But his primary argument in voting no was that he considered the ballot questions to be outside the scope of county government.
“I am not a fan of county boards doing resolutions or nonbinding referenda, because in my experience that has no impact on the state Legislature,” Nelson said.
Hansen called the referendum on making election operations uniform “a bit of a Trojan horse” with implications that voters might not understand. “Equal and equitable are two different things,” she said.
She also believes blocking private help for election clerks could strand them if there is a future crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020.
“Suddenly these election clerks are trying to figure out how to have a safe election,” Hansen said. “If it wasn’t for those private foundations pitching in, I don’t know how they would have quickly gotten large allocations of cash to buy PPE and sanitizing equipment and all the other things they needed.”
If there were a comparable situation in the future and election clerks were unable to turn to that sort of help, “God only knows what might happen.”

Following the leaked Supreme Court decision that suggests Roe v. Wade will be overturned, many Americans of childbearing age are wondering what they can do now to prepare for that possibility.
Of course, reproductive healthcare providers on the front lines of this debate have been thinking about this for quite some time.
Robin Marty is the operations director for the West Alabama Women's Center, and the author of Handbook for a Post-Roe America. Dr. Raegan McDonald-Mosely is a practicing OB-GYN and the CEO of Power to Decide, a sexual health and planning nonprofit. They both joined NPR's All Things Considered to provide some guidance on what reproductive healthcare might look like in the future, and how people can keep themselves informed and prepared if Roe v. Wade is overturned.
This interview has been lightly edited
On what would be immediately outlawed in states with trigger laws like Alabama, if Roe v. Wade is overturned:
Robin Marty: So I want to explain really quickly, that although half of the states are likely to have no access to legal abortion, there are very few states, even those with triggers, that will immediately be impacted by the ruling.
So it's a time period before something will go immediately into effect. For us [in Alabama], that's not the case. And that means that we have to be sure that if we have patients who are in for care, they will be in the waiting room, and we have to make sure that we have them either beginning the dilation process or already taking their pills before a decision comes down, which for us would be at 9am.
We usually have our patients in at eight, but we're moving our patients in even earlier on any day, that could potentially be a decision day, just to make sure that we can care for as many as possible before we can't anymore.
On what options a pregnant person has in an anti-abortion state:
Robin Marty: There are a number of different options that a person can undergo. Some of them involve trying to go to a clinic outside of their state. That requires research.
There are abortion funds and practical support groups that can help provide financial assistance and logistical support. But also, what we're seeing is that most people, especially in the South, have an immense amount of difficulty to be able to afford all of the bus tickets, plane tickets, time off of work. That's simply not going to be doable for a lot of them.
What to look for in an OB-GYN clinic to make sure it is legitimate and safe:
Dr. Raegan McDonald-Mosely: So the first thing is to identify where you can go. We have a resource at Power To Decide called abortionfinder.org. There's another resource called "I Need an A," and these have databases of reliable abortion clinics throughout the country.
Robin Marty: I agree with everything Raegan said. I would also like to say that reaching out to a local independent abortion clinic, just to ask questions, is definitely a thing that can be done. Abortion clinics are always going to be aware of what's going on in their region. As much as online sources are amazing, they are so hard to keep up to the minute up to date. If you have a question, just ask, that's what we're here for.
On finding a trustworthy doctor for getting an abortion or receiving aftercare:
Robin Marty: I actually put together a checklist of questions that people can ask their doctors. So it's a checklist that a person can go through and say, 'How do you feel about abortion?' 'If I asked for an abortion, would you make a referral?' It's an entire list of things that, frankly, doctors have to be vetted for at this point, because there are states where you cannot sue a doctor if they withhold information from you about your pregnancy. So we've already seen how abortion laws have completely undermined the doctor patient relationship. And that's only going to get worse once it's doctors and patients who could potentially end up in jail.
Dr. Raegan McDonald-Mosely: I just wanted to chime in from a medical perspective and point out, realizing that someone may not have the opportunity to fully vet a provider, it's important to realize that if someone is having prolonged bleeding, or may need medical attention after having a medication abortion, with medications that they obtained themselves, or with the care of a provider, that very much looks like a miscarriage. So someone can potentially present to an emergency room and to their provider and say, 'I'm having cramping and bleeding, and I had a positive pregnancy test', and receive the care that they need without having to reveal that they have taken abortion medications.

DOHA, Qatar (AP) — A 32-team men's Club World Cup in 2025. A new version of the tournament for women. National teams from different continents playing each other more often between World Cups.

FIFA president Gianni Infantino shared his wish list Friday to create and revamp games and events under the soccer body’s control.
A “FIFA World Series” was floated of four-team friendly tournaments in March before major championships in even-numbered years, plus combining the international breaks in September and October to a single block of four national team games.
Some of the ideas are not new, but the debate and announcement in Qatar two days before the World Cup final still caught soccer officials in Europe by surprise.

“We will now consult on all of these topics and then elaborate on all the details,” Infantino said at a news conference after the 37-member FIFA Council agreed on “strategic principles” for new competitions.
Members of the European Club Association and European Leagues groups said they were scrambling to learn the unexpected details of FIFA’s plans.
A Club World Cup of 24 teams was due in 2021 in China but was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic, though no tournament format had been agreed to nor commercial partners signed.
Infantino committed FIFA to a 32-team version in 2½ years, one week after failing to secure a working agreement in Doha with the influential ECA and one day after the proposed Super League project endured another setback in court in Luxembourg.

“The 32-team tournament will go ahead, making it really like a World Cup,” Infantino said about an event in June-July 2025 that would require some teams to play six or seven games.
It is unclear how teams would qualify for the event — potentially worth tens of millions of dollars to each in prize money — or how many entries each continent would get, though Europe would likely have 12.
“The details, the location and so on still need to be discussed, agreed and decided,” Infantino said.
Former England defender Jamie Carragher, who is now a broadcaster on British television, called it a “ridiculous idea.”

“Players need rest at some point, they are getting treated like cattle,” Carragher wrote on Twitter. “FIFA hate the (Champions League) & want something similar themselves. European clubs should boycott it.”
A women’s Club World Cup is less controversial and has been a FIFA target since the 2019 World Cup in France. No new details were given Friday.
Citing surprising results at this year's World Cup, with European and South American teams beaten by African and Asian opponents, Infantino said FIFA wanted teams from different regions to meet more often.
Space in the congested calendar of international games could be found in March in years when a World Cup, European Championship or Copa América is scheduled, Infantino said.

He suggested a “FIFA World Series” for friendly games between four teams, each from a different continent.
Drafting a new FIFA-managed calendar to start in 2025 has long been a pressing issue in the soccer industry, but stalled when it became mixed with Infantino’s failed push last year for playing World Cups every two years.
FIFA had suggested playing all qualifying games for national team tournaments in two blocks — one in the spring, one in the fall — to replace the current system of nine double-headers spread over two years.
The latest compromise is for a four-game block in the fall that would shut down domestic leagues for back-to-back weekends but would mean one fewer long-haul return trip for national team players.

On a recent Wednesday morning, a group of young moms were huddled inside a small room on the outskirts of Washington, D.C. One by one, they started to talk about the stresses of raising a family. Among them was Dayona Campbell, who up until recently, was experiencing housing insecurity.
"I was living in a shelter with the kids," she said. "There was just a lot of uncertainty."
Campbell is a resident of Ward 8, which is the most impoverished section of the nation's capital. Last year, Ward 8's median income was $31,000. An estimated 38% of adult residents are in poverty. That number jumps to 50% when talking about kids.
Campbell is raising six kids by herself.
"What am I doing wrong that they are going through this?" Campbell remarked.

Earlier this year Campbell found a place to live, but after spending all of her money on a security deposit, the 31-year-old had no money left for furniture.
"I knew it was mine but it didn't feel comfortable because we didn't have the things we needed to make it feel like home," she said.
But that is where Niki Mock and her nonprofit FurnishHope D.C. come in.
A few years ago, Mock started realizing many residents of Ward 8 experiencing housing insecurity were finding stable housing but they simply couldn't afford furniture.
She's seen the problem worsen with inflation.
"We go into homes where there is no furniture — none," Mock said.

FurnishHope D.C. takes people's unwanted furniture, then finds new homes for everything from beds to kitchen appliances for those in need. As the nonprofit has gotten more furniture into homes, they've seen a dresser or kitchen table as a way to break the cycle of poverty and housing insecurity.
It also just makes these families happier.
"I really want people to know we do care and we want to help lift them out of poverty or be free to put their energy elsewhere," Mock said.
Seeing the success they've had in Washington, D.C., Mock's hope is to one day expand the program to more cities around the country.
"It's such a big difference. It feels like home," said Taphilah Jackson, one of the program's recipients.

Royal Neighbors of America, a Rock Island-based fraternal benefit society, will present Quad Cities pastor Rev. Laura Evans Mahn with a Nation of Neighbors empowerment award and $10,000 grant for Rock Island’s nonprofit NEST Café (Nourish Everyone Sustainably Together).
The award and grant to be presented to Rev. Mahn on Sept. 8 is one of 10 Royal Neighbors will present nationwide this fall.
A membership organization with 250,000 members nationwide, Royal Neighbors offers life insurance and annuity products and is driven by its mission of supporting women and serving communities, according to a company release Thursday. Royal Neighbors’ signature women’s empowerment program, Nation of Neighbors, recognizes and supports women who work to empower women and girls through a nonprofit, business, or program.
The Rev. Mahn is founder and executive director of NEST Café, a nonprofit, pay-what-you-can restaurant at 1524 4th Ave., Rock Island. NEST Café is the first of its kind in the area and has a mission to the community by providing delicious, sustainably sourced food to all who enter, regardless of the size of their means, the RNA release says.
Royal Neighbors member Connie Avey nominated Rev. Mahn for the empowerment award and grant.
“Laura and her team understand the difference a delicious, nutrient-dense meal can make when someone is able to eat it with dignity,” Avey said. “Women don’t have to experience the stigma of going to a ‘free meal.’ Children are able to witness their mothers paying for an amazing meal, without having to know that they may have paid less than someone else.”
NEST uses volunteers from across the economic spectrum.
“At any given time, there can be someone volunteering in exchange for a meal next to someone volunteering for community service hours, next to someone doing so because their job encourages civic engagement which builds relationships and opportunities,” added Avey.
“Through many life experiences, I’ve witnessed the cycle of people struggling financially having to eat highly processed food that causes negative health effects,” Mahn said in the release. “I’ve also been troubled by the traditional response to feeding people who are hungry, which creates a barrier between those who are being served and those who are serving.
“I wanted to create a place where everyone eats food that serves their bodies the way food is supposed to and where no one necessarily knows who is in need and who is there for other reasons.”
Royal Neighbors Director of Philanthropy Amy Jones will present the award and grant to Mahn on Thursday, Sept. 8.
“The Rev. Mahn has taken solving food insecurity to the next level,” Jones said. “She has created a ripple effect by providing her customers and volunteers a place to not only nourish their bodies, but to build relationships, learn skills, and create new opportunities through volunteerism. The Rev. Mahn is a servant to her community solving an immediate problem and making a lasting impact, and she truly exemplifies the Royal Neighbors mission to empower women and support communities.”
The Nation of Neighbors grant will allow Rev. Mahn and NEST Café to purchase additional kitchen equipment, pay for additional volunteers and employees to receive serve-safe certification, and launch community cooking classes.
To date, Royal Neighbors has awarded more than $2.5 million in Nation of Neighbors grants nationwide.

Which men’s golf shoes are best?
The best golfers have excellent technique and well-developed skills, but they also have high-quality gear. While a well-made set of clubs is essential, don’t underestimate the importance of a reliable pair of golf shoes.
Unlike other sports, golf doesn’t require fast or agile movements, but you still need comfortable, durable shoes. If you’re looking for a quality pair of golf shoes, the Adidas Men’s Tour 360 22 Golf Shoes are excellent. They offer superior comfort, stability and traction to deliver elite performance on the course.
What to know before you buy men’s golf shoes
Size
Golf takes several hours to play, so you wear golf shoes for extended periods. That’s why it’s essential to wear the correct size, as walking around all day on the course wearing shoes that are too small or big can be uncomfortable and cause blisters. Some golf shoes run small and narrow, so if you want a more comfortable fit or have wider feet, consider buying a half size up for extra space in the toe box.
Material
Golf shoes are usually made with natural or synthetic leather. Authentic leather is far more durable and water-resistant, but it’s also more expensive. Synthetic golf shoes are more lightweight and easier to clean, but they’re less durable and can be uncomfortable in warmer climates.
Traditional or modern style
Traditional golf shoes are made of high-quality authentic leather and resemble dress shoes. They’re durable, but they don’t offer the same performance as modern spiked shoes or the comfort of spikeless ones. There are also sandal-style shoes that are the most comfortable and breathable, but they don’t offer the same stability or traction as other golf shoes.
What to look for in quality men’s golf shoes
Waterproof
When you think of golf, you may think of hitting the course on a warm, sunny day. However, it can be played in more inclement weather, such as rainy or foggy days. Unless it’s sunny, there’s a reasonable chance you’ll encounter some moisture, so it’s crucial to have waterproof shoes. Getting your feet wet on the course will make you uncomfortable and could damage your performance.
Spike or spikeless
Spikeless golf shoes have bumps on the outsole, making walking on outdoor surfaces easier. They’re more comfortable than spiked shoes and can be worn off the golf course. But unlike spiked shoes, you can’t replace the pins once they become worn or damaged, and they don’t offer the same traction, which can benefit your swing as spikes provide more stability.
Functionality
Keep an eye out for a few key features.
- The midfoot should provide sufficient arch support and have plenty of cushioning for comfort. It should also be rigid for increased stability.
- The forefoot should be flexible to allow for easier walking.
- The outsole should provide traction, especially if you plan on playing often in wet weather.
How much you can expect to spend on men’s golf shoes
You can get a reliable pair of golf shoes for $60-$100, but if you want something more durable and made with higher-quality materials, you can expect to pay anywhere between $100-$250.
Men’s golf shoes FAQ
Are golf shoes necessary? Can’t I play in regular athletic shoes?
A. You certainly can, but golf shoes are designed to provide stability and comfort on the course that can help your swing.
Which golf shoes are best for cold or wet climates?
A. Modern spiked shoes are the best for wet and cold weather, as they have a more robust build with superior traction.

BERLIN (AP) — Finland’s government declared a “new era” is underway after announcing its intention to seek NATO membership, hours before Sweden’s governing party on Sunday backed a plan to join the trans-Atlantic alliance amid Russia’s war in Ukraine.
The developments will be sure to further anger Moscow, with President Vladimir Putin already warning his Finnish counterpart on Saturday that relations would be “negatively affected.”
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg, speaking Sunday after top diplomats from the alliance’s 30 member states met in Berlin, said the process for Finland and Sweden to join could be very quick. He also expressed his hope that Ukraine could win the war as Russian military advances appear to be faltering.
In Finland, President Sauli Niinisto and Prime Minister Sanna Marin made the announcement that their country would seek membership in NATO during a joint news conference at the Presidential Palace in Helsinki. The previously neutral Nordic country shares a long border with Russia.
“This is a historic day. A new era begins,” Niinisto said.
The Finnish Parliament is expected to endorse the decision in the coming days. A formal membership application will then be submitted to NATO headquarters in Brussels, most likely at some point next week.
Sweden also moved a step closer to applying for NATO membership after the governing Social Democratic party backed joining the trans-Atlantic alliance.
“At its meeting today, the Social Democrats’ party board has decided that the party will work for Sweden to apply for membership in NATO,” the party said in a statement.
The plan to join the alliance will be discussed in Sweden’s parliament on Monday, and Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson’s Cabinet will make an announce later that day.
“Russia’s war in Ukraine is not going as Moscow had planned,” Stoltenberg said by video link to the NATO meeting in Berlin as he recovers from a COVID-19 infection.” “They failed to take Kyiv. They are pulling back from around Kharkiv. Their major offensive in Donbas has stalled. Russia is not achieving its strategic objectives.”
“Ukraine can win this war,” he said, adding that NATO must continue to step up its military support to the country.
Sweden has also already taken steps toward joining the alliance, while Georgia’s bid is again being discussed despite dire warnings from Moscow about the consequences if its neighbor becomes part of NATO.
Nordic NATO member Norway said it strongly welcomed Finland’s decision to seek membership. Norwegian Foreign Minister Anniken Huitfeldt described Helsinki’s move as “a turning point” for the Nordic region’s defense and security policies.
“Finnish membership in NATO will be good for Finland, good for the Nordic region, and good for NATO. Finland has Norway’s full support,” Huitfeldt said in comments emailed to The Associated Press.
Huitfeldt said the Norwegian government would facilitate “a swift consent to ratification by the Norwegian Parliament” for Finland’s accession into NATO.
“We are now seeing unprecedented unity in NATO. With the Finnish membership, we will further strengthen the Nordic flank of the military alliance,” Huitfeldt said.
Stoltenberg said he was confident the accession process for Finland and Sweden could be expedited. In the meantime, the alliance would increase its presence in the Baltic region to deter Russian threats, he said.
“All allies realize the historic magnitude of the moment,” Stoltenberg added.
That sentiment was echoed by German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock.
“Sweden and Finland, if you’re ready, we’re ready,” she said.
But NATO member Turkey has raised concerns about the two countries joining, alleging they support Kurdish militants that Ankara considers terrorists.
The Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, has waged an insurgency against Turkey since 1984 and the conflict has killed tens of thousands of people. Turkey has also been infuriated by U.S. support for PKK-linked Syrian Kurdish militants to fight the Islamic State group.
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu told reporters in Berlin on Sunday that Finland and Sweden had also imposed restrictions on defense sales to Turkey that he called “unacceptable.”
“It’s not because we are against the expansion of NATO but because we believe countries who support terror and follow such policies against us should not be NATO allies,” Çavuşoğlu said.
However, Stoltenberg said his understanding is that Turkey aims not to keep Finland or Sweden out but rather to have its concerns addressed first.
“Turkey has made it clear that their intention is not to block membership,” he said.
Nonetheless, Turkey’s raising of its grievances has led to concerns in Washington and Brussels that other NATO members might also use the admission process as a way to wring concessions from allies, possibly complicating and delaying accession.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who spoke with Çavuşoğlu and will see him again on the margins of a special U.N. Security Council meeting later this week in New York, declined to comment on those concerns. But he voiced confidence that all NATO members would support the bids.
“I heard almost across the board, very strong support for Finland and Sweden joining the alliance, if that’s what they choose to do, and I’m very confident that we will reach consensus,” he said after the meeting in Berlin.
On the sidelines of the Berlin meeting, Blinken met earlier Sunday with Ukrainian counterpart Dmytro Kuleba to discuss the impact of the war and how to get Ukraine’s grain to international markets.
Britain’s top diplomat said NATO members would also discuss security issues beyond Europe during their meeting Sunday — a reference to growing unease among democratic nations about the rise of China.
“As well as protecting Euro-Atlantic security, we also need to watch out for Indo-Pacific security,” Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said.
Denmark’s foreign minister, Jeppe Kofod, dismissed suggestions that objections from Putin could hinder the alliance from letting in new members.
“We see now a world where the enemy of democracy number one is Putin and the thinking that he represents,” Kofod said, adding that NATO would also stand with other countries, such as Georgia, which he said were being “instrumentalized” by Russia.

After 11 Israeli athletes died in a terrorist attack, American runner Frank Shorter was sure the 1972 Olympics were over. Nothing’s worth more than human life, he thought: “We’re going home.”
But once the decision was made to continue the games, Shorter never hesitated. He would run in his event, the marathon, because not competing would mean “they win” — the terrorists. So on Sept. 10, 1972, Shorter toed the starting line in Munich, West Germany, where he had been born in 1947 while his father worked there as a military doctor, and he ran for the gold medal. He finished the 26.2-mile race in 2 hours, 12 minutes and 19 seconds, more than 2 minutes ahead of the second-place finisher.
Shorter was the first American winner of the Olympic Marathon since 1908 and no man from the United States has won it since. Joan Benoit won the women’s Olympic marathon in 1984, the first time the event was held for women. She’s the only American winner of the women’s event.

When Benoit ran into the stadium in Los Angeles in 1984 the crowd erupted. When Shorter entered the Olympic Stadium in West Germany 12 years earlier there was confusion. An imposter, a young man, had run onto the track before Shorter and crossed the finish line before he did. Shorter didn’t hear a cheering crowd: He heard whistles, which he interpreted as booing, and he wondered what was going on. He thought maybe that noise was aimed at him because Americans weren’t supposed to win the marathon. Shorter says his relatives watching on TV in the U.S. were more upset than he was, and anyone watching the ABC broadcast heard commentator Erich Segal shout, “That’s not Frank. That’s an imposter, get that guy off the track!” “Love Story” author Segal was a runner and had been one of Shorter’s professors at Yale University. The two got to talk about what happened that night when Segal took Shorter and his family out to dinner.
“I really never felt robbed, I didn’t feel cheated,” Shorter says about the imposter. “I realized I didn’t run for the roar. I didn’t run for that cheer because it has never bothered me.”
Shorter ran for other reasons. The biggest reason at that time in his life, at age 24, was his fellow runners: Athletes he trained and competed with, like Kenny Moore and Jack Bacheler. Both were on that 1972 U.S. Olympic team and ran the marathon with Shorter that September day when Shorter stood taller than anyone else on the podium.
“It was very important to me on the victory stand, thinking about representing the U.S. running community, which at that point had that been undervalued,” Shorter says, “and I knew I was so fortunate because I knew so many of the guys on the distance team who I’d trained with and were my friends. We were all together and we all made it to the Olympics and I was the fortunate one who got a medal.”
Kenny Moore just missed a medal in that 1972 Olympic Marathon. He finished 4th. (Jack Bacheler was 9th, by the way) and after those Olympics Moore wrote wonderful stories about running and runners for Sports Illustrated and other publications. Moore died May 4th, which makes this 50th anniversary of the 1972 Olympic Marathon bittersweet for Frank Shorter. “We were equals,” he told men, “maybe I wasn’t even his equal. Kenny was a wonderful man.”

On race day, Sept. 10, 1972, Shorter said he got up and he felt pretty good. That feeling carried over into the marathon. Nine miles into the race he did what had planned and trained to do. He picked up the pace. He surged. He looked back. No one followed him. He was alone and basically out of sight for much of the rest of the race because the Munich marathon course had a lot of twists and turns. His lead over the rest of the runners grew and grew. He was never threatened.
Sitting in his home in Falmouth, Massachusetts, 50 years later thinking about that race and his late friend Kenny Moore, Shorter wonders what would have happened if he had told Moore about the breakaway. Perhaps Moore would have joined him in the lead, and maybe he would have won his own medal.
“I kind of wished I had turned to him when we were warming up and said ‘Kenny I’m going early,'” Shorter says. It’s not a regret. It’s a big what if.
Shorter didn’t feel cheated when an imposter finished ahead of him in 1972. But after what happened at the Montreal Olympics in 1976, he did. An unknown runner from East Germany, Waldemar Cierpinski, won the gold medal in the marathon and Shorter won silver — but not the gold he deserves in hindsight. Cierpinski also won the 1980 Olympic Marathon in Moscow [an Olympics the U.S. boycotted after the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan] but he was later implicated in East Germany’s state-sponsored doping system, dosing its athletes with performance-enhancing drugs. Shorter would eventually become a leading figure on the anti-doping movement.
Today, Shorter and his wife Michelle live in Falmouth, moving to Massachusetts from Colorado last year. Falmouth just happens to be home to a very famous road race (which the couple ran for the first time in August as residents) and part of the reason it’s famous is Shorter. A local bartender named Tommy Leonard watched him win the Olympic Marathon and thought, wouldn’t it be great if we could get Shorter to run on Cape Cod?
It took a couple of years but it happened. Shorter won his first Falmouth in 1975, repeated as champion the next year, and his duels with Bill Rodgers became the stuff of legend. And it’s partly thanks to that day in Munich, a day that also had a much bigger impact, way beyond Cape Cod. It helped launch a running boom in America, with countless people buying their first pair of running shoes and hitting the roads. Including me.

WASHINGTON — Sacheen Littlefeather, known for taking the stage at the 1973 Academy Awards on behalf of Marlon Brando, has died at age 75.
The Academy confirmed Littlefeather's death on Twitter on Sunday night.
Her death comes a few months after the Academy issued a formal apology to Littlefeather nearly 50 years after she took the stage.
When Brando won best actor for “The Godfather,” Littlefeather, wearing buckskin dress and moccasins, took the stage, becoming the first Native American woman ever to do so at the Academy Awards. In a 60-second speech, she explained that Brando could not accept the award due to “the treatment of American Indians today by the film industry."
Some in the audience booed her. John Wayne, who was backstage at the time, was reportedly furious. The 1973 Oscars were held during the American Indian Movement's two-month occupation of Wounded Knee in South Dakota. In the years since, Littlefeather has said she's been mocked, discriminated against and personally attacked for her brief Academy Awards appearance.
In making the announcement of the apolody, the Academy Museum shared a letter sent June 18 to Littlefeather by David Rubin, academy president, about the iconic Oscar moment. Rubin called Littlefeather's speech “a powerful statement that continues to remind us of the necessity of respect and the importance of human dignity.”
“The abuse you endured because of this statement was unwarranted and unjustified,” wrote Rubin. “The emotional burden you have lived through and the cost to your own career in our industry are irreparable. For too long the courage you showed has been unacknowledged. For this, we offer both our deepest apologies and our sincere admiration.”
Littlefeather, in a statement, had said it was “profoundly heartening to see how much has changed since I did not accept the Academy Award 50 years ago.”
“Regarding the Academy’s apology to me, we Indians are very patient people — it’s only been 50 years!” said Littlefeather. “We need to keep our sense of humor about this at all times. It’s our method of survival.” | 2022-10-03T10:29:54+00:00 | wtsp.com | https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/entertainment-news/sacheen-littlefeather-dies-at-75/507-e9c36e12-6152-434d-9fbf-c49d2c00570c |
