A total of 81,269,162 common shares were voted at the Meeting, representing 58.97% of the votes attached to all the outstanding common shares of the Company.
Detailed results of the vote held at the Meeting are set out below:
Based on the voting results, all of the nominees proposed as directors and listed in the management information circular dated May 6, 2022 (the "Circular") were elected as directors of Eastplats at the Meeting in accordance with applicable corporate law.
However, two directors (Diana Hu and Michael Cosic) had more votes withheld than were voted in their favour of their appointments to the Board.

The Board will refer such resignations to the Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee (the "Committee") for consideration on whether or not to accept the resignations submitted by these directors. In accordance with the Policy, the Board shall accept such resignations unless the Committee determines that there are exceptional circumstances relating to the composition of the Board or the voting results that should delay the acceptance of such resignations or justify rejecting such resignations.

The test accurately determined if each threat used was able to make any changes to the test system. To ensure that security programs do not plague users with false alarms, AV-Comparatives put all the products through a false-positive test.
A total of 5 products reached the highest award level, ADVANCED+, in this Real-World Protection Test. These were (in alphabetical order): Avast, AVG, Avira, Bitdefender, and Kaspersky.

AV-Comparatives used more than 3,000 recent malicious applications for the Android operating system in the mobile malware protection test. The results clearly showed the advantage of using a third-party antivirus product to protect smartphones against Android malware.
Past criticism of security programs is that they cause a significant drain on the device's battery. AV-Comparatives addressed this issue by running a battery-drain test. Each product's effect on battery life during everyday phone usage (such as making calls, surfing the Internet, watching videos and sending emails) was measured.
As well as the results of the tests, the report includes general security advice and information for users of Android devices. The security measures incorporated into Android are considered, along with the effect on third-party security apps. Security tips for Android users are also provided.
All tested Android products passed the criteria of AV-Comparatives but Google.

The official teaser of Ranbir Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt’s Shamshera was unveiled today and fans are going gaga over the actors, especially the former. The teaser opens with shots of violence and shows Dutt as a menacing police officer torturing people. The scene then cuts to a huge group of dacoits, dressed in black and led by who seems to be Ranbir. We then hear his voice-over introducing his character, along with shots of him sporting a dark and rugged look with long hair.
Sharing the teaser, YRF wrote that the official trailer will be released on June 24. Watch it here:
Fans were especially taken aback by Ranbir’s voice and his looks and took to the comment section to laud his new avatar. One user wrote, “RANBIR KAPOOR THE ACTOR ” while another wrote, “Ranbir???? What are you????” Another comment read, “OMG this what makes Ranbir kapoor Different he go for like 4 years but now when he come back The first fantasy movie in the history of Bollywood and a character he had never played before in his career Ranbir never disappoint us.”
Ranbir Kapoor is playing a larger-than-life quintessential Hindi film hero for the first time in his career with the action entertainer Shamshera. Directed by Karan Malhotra, the film also stars Vaani Kapoor.
Meanwhile, earlier this week, Yash Raj Films took to its official Twitter account and dropped the poster of the film which shows Ranbir in his rugged look. It also announced that the film will hit theatres on July 22. Soon after the Shamshera poster was officially shared, Ranbir Kapoor’s wife and actress Alia Bhatt also shared the same on her Instagram account. Needless to say, Ranbir’s hot look in the porter has left Alia gasping for breath too. “Now that’s a hot morning..I mean..good morning,” she wrote along with the heart eye emoji.
Apart from Shamshera, Ranbir Kapoor will also be seen in Brahmastra, Animal and Luv Ranjan’s untitled next.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Federal officials and tribal nations have formally reestablished a commission to oversee land management decisions at a national monument in Utah — among the first such joint governance agreements signed by Native Americans and U.S. officials.
Leaders from agencies including the Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service met with representatives from five tribal nations Saturday to sign a document formalizing the Bears Ears Commission, a governing body tasked with day-to-day decisions on the 2,125 square-mile (5,500 square-kilometer) Bears Ears National Monument.
In 2021, President Joe Biden restored two sprawling national monuments in southern Utah — Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante — reversing a decision by President Donald Trump that opened for mining and other development hundreds of thousands of acres of rugged lands sacred to Native Americans and home to ancient cliff dwellings and petroglyphs.
Together, the monuments encompass an area nearly the size of Connecticut, and were created by Democratic administrations under a century-old law that allows presidents to protect sites considered historic, geographically or culturally important.
Tribes have long sought a larger role in their oversight.
“This is an important step as we move forward together to ensure that Tribal expertise and traditional perspectives remain at the forefront of our joint decision-making for the Bears Ears National Monument. This type of true co-management will serve as a model for our work to honor the nation-to-nation relationship in the future,” said Bureau of Land Management Director Tracy Stone-Manning, one of the agreement’s signatories.
The Bears Ears Commission and Obama-era joint governance plan was altered to the chagrin of tribal officials when Trump downsized the monument in 2017. The five nations, all of which were driven off land included in the monument, are the Hopi, the Navajo Nation, the Pueblo of Zuni, the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe and the Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah and Ouray Reservation.
“Today, instead of being removed from a landscape to make way for a public park, we are being invited back to our ancestral homelands to help repair them and plan for a resilient future. We are being asked to apply our traditional knowledge to both the natural and human-caused ecological challenges, drought, erosion, visitation, etc.,” said Bears Ears Commission Co-Chair and Lieutenant Governor of Zuni Pueblo Carleton Bowekaty.
Tribes also play a role in jointly managing some resources within national park units, including Canyon de Chelly National Monument on the Navajo Nation and Point Reyes National Seashore on the historic lands of the Coast Miwok and Southern Pomo in California. | https://www.wjtv.com/news/national/tribal-leaders-and-feds-reestablish-bears-ears-commission/ | 2022-06-22T07:37:33Z | https://www.wjtv.com/news/national/tribal-leaders-and-feds-reestablish-bears-ears-commission/ | true | 46 |

Launch of sukuk plan approved
- Cabinet also approves reducing the price of 100mg Remdesivir injections used in the treatment of Coronavirus from Rs2,308.63 to Rs1,892
ISLAMABAD: The Cabinet on Tuesday approved the launch of the Local and International Monopoly Sukuk Programme on the recommendation of the Finance Division. The Cabinet also approved reducing the price of 100mg Remdesivir injections used in the treatment of Coronavirus from Rs2,308.63 to Rs1,892.
Briefing the media persons about the decisions taken in the Federal Cabinet meeting along with Prime Minister’s Advisor on Kashmir Affairs and Gilgit-Baltistan, Qamar Zaman Kaira, Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal said that previously, the prices of medicines were increased and especially because of the dollar price parity the prices were high but the government has kept the price of essential medicines low keeping the poor segment of the society in mind.
The minister said that the prime minister acknowledged the efforts of Minister for Industry and Production, Makhdoom Murtaza and his team who visited Indonesia at his own expense and after his tireless efforts, Indonesia started exporting edible oil to Pakistan on a priority basis.
He said the prime minister also talked to the president of Indonesia and requested Makhdoom Murtaza, to look into the matter personally since the crisis regarding the supply chain of the edible oil was inevitable after the decision of Indonesia not to export palm oil to Pakistan.
Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari and Minister of State for External Affairs, Hina Rabbani Khar also briefed the Cabinet saying all the requirements regarding the FATF have been fulfilled. Pakistan will move from grey to white list once the FATF team will come to Pakistan to verify things.

The minister said this will not only promote a business climate but also promote the international standing of Pakistan. The prime minister also commended the efforts of Foreign Minister Bilawal and Minister of State for External Affairs, Hina Khar and her team for their hard work and dedication in resolving the FATF issue.
He said we have played a key role in legislating for the FATF. All the concerned ministries especially the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of External Affairs played an important role in this regard. Of course, this is the result of joint efforts.
He said the chief of army staff also set up a Corps Cell at the General Headquarters in 2019, which played a vital role in coordinating the efforts of all ministries and departments.
The Cabinet paid full tribute to all the concerned agencies as this achievement could not have been achieved without their joint efforts.
The issue of supply and demand of urea fertilizer in the country was also discussed in the cabinet. The Minister of Industries and Production briefed the Cabinet on all the details. The prime minister directed all the concerned authorities to take necessary steps to ensure timely supply of urea fertiliser to the farmers at affordable rates.
He said the prime minister has directed to speed up the process of acquiring urea from brotherly countries, especially from China so that there are no disruptions take place in the market.
He said due to the Ukraine war, all the supply chain of commodities sectors has been disrupted. Not only Pakistan but every country is facing these crises but our government’s priority is to make sure the availability of these commodities.
Ahsan Iqbal said that the cabinet approved the formation of a committee to review the Trade Organization Act. The federal cabinet, on the recommendation of the Ministry of Commerce, approved the reorganization of the Committee for Hearing of Appeals under Section 21 of the Trade Organization Act, 2013.
After the reorganization, the Minister of Commerce will be the convener of the three-member committee, while the Minister of Industry and Production and the Minister of Aviation and Railways will be its members.
The minister said the cabinet also reviewed the situation of the GSP+ status of Pakistan which was signed in 2013. He said GSP+ benefitted Pakistan to increase its exports. He said the Cabinet was given a detailed briefing on the importance, usefulness and important features of the GSP + facility offered to Pakistan by the European Union. The Cabinet was informed that GSP + is very useful for promoting bilateral trade between Pakistan and the European Union. Because with the introduction of GSP +, the trade volume between them increased. The Cabinet was briefed in detail about the institutional arrangements in this regard. Under GSP +, 4 clusters and 27 global conventions were identified by the European Commission in 9 priority areas. These clusters include human rights, labour rights, climate change, and governance.
He said the Cabinet was briefed on the progress made on them and the salient features of the proposed new EU GSP Scheme (2024-2034).
The Cabinet was informed that all the concerned ministers are in constant touch with the EU authorities. Furthermore, it is gratifying that all the political parties are represented in the present coalition government, so we can, by consensus, ensure the implementation of the GSP + conditions imposed on Pakistan. This will increase Pakistani exports and enable Pakistani goods to reach European markets. The previous government, in pursuit of its national interests in the national interest of Pakistan, incited enmity with the West, especially Europe, he said.
It is gratifying that the European Union has shown confidence in the current government as it is taking serious steps to improve the economic situation, he added.
The minister informed that the meeting also discussed the tough decisions being taken in the wake of the ongoing economic situation in the country. He said the PTI government knowingly avoided tough decisions and put the economy on the verge of collapse.
He said the current government was committed to reviving the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), and attracting foreign investment that would help put the country on the path of progress and development.
The chief secretaries of Sindh, Punjab, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, and Balochistan briefed the Cabinet on the progress of legislation required to comply with the GSP requirements. He said that all the necessary legislation in this regard has either been completed or is nearing completion. The prime minister directed all the concerned ministers, provincial governments and ministries to contact his office for any kind of assistance to ensure compliance with the conditions of GSP, however, he said that negligence will not be tolerated. “Insha’Allah! we will surely succeed by uniting.”
Speaking on the occasion, Prime Minister’s Advisor on Kashmir Affairs and Gilgit-Baltistan Qamar Zaman Kaira said Indian brutalities are continuing in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir. He said India will not succeed to suppress the passion for freedom in the people of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
He said the budget of Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan has been enhanced to bring these areas at par with other areas of Pakistan.
“The Planning and Finance Divisions have revised the budgetary allocations for Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan and made enhancements to meet their demands and completion of the developmental projects”, Kaira said
He said rich people of the country will be taxed to provide relief to the poor.
Kaira said that the present government realizes that Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan are lagging behind in development and have a lack of resources and would continue taking all possible steps to improve the living standards of the people of Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan.

Lennie Rosenbluth passed away last week. If you don’t know who that is, you’re not alone but I’m here to tell you why he mattered to so many of us.
Let’s start with his name, Lennie Rosenbluth. They don’t make many Lennies any more and Rosenbluth is a name not often heard down here in North Carolina. Like Friedman, it’s a common name for Jewish folk and not a lot of my kosher brethren stop in the Carolinas on their way to Florida.
Fortunately for all of us, Lennie did stop here on his way to Florida and once again breaking the mold, he returned to Carolina after retirement in the sunshine state. More on that later though.
He was born and bred in New York, the Bronx specifically. This was nearly a century ago in the early 1930s and it was a tough time to be alive.
It could have been harder for sure, he could have been born with more melanin in his skin and he would have been outcast by most on sight. Still, it was during the Great Depression, a guy named Adolph Hitler had just taken over Germany and Jews not named Jesus still weren’t getting much love from gentiles here in America.
Lennie went off military school when most were in high school and, after a significant growth spurt, he had some college basketball options upon graduation. He almost wound up at N.C. State, but fortunately for the Tar Heels, they didn’t offer Rosenbluth a roster spot and Frank McGuire in Chapel Hill did.
When people talk about players in the 50s, I can’t help but question if that person could compete against today’s players. Regardless of sport, the athlete and the way they train is different today.
He was 6’-5” and averaged 26.9 points per game as a Tar Heel. That’s still the record at UNC. An argument could be made that the competition back then wasn’t what it is now, but that doesn’t hold up in the year 1957.
That was the year Frank McGuire, Lennie Rosenbluth and the rest of the Carolina men’s basketball roster went undefeated, including a win against Kansas in the title game. The game went to triple overtime, but the Tar Heels prevailed. In case you question the competition, Kansas had Wilt Chamberlain.
That’s the game that sparked it all. Carolina won a National Championship and the state got a lot of new basketball fans, Dean Smith met Frank McGuire — who would later hire him as an assistant. You know where that story goes.
Lennie left UNC, was drafted in the first round of the NBA and had a brief career before landing in Florida and becoming a history teacher and coach. After retirement, he made his way back to Chapel Hill and could be seen at various games and events around campus.
He will be remembered as a Tar Heel legend and a mensch. I will miss seeing his smile on the sidelines.

Man gets 18-month term for sex assault of Alibaba employee
A man involved in a high-profile sexual assault against an Alibaba employee was sentenced to 18 months in prison Wednesday, months after the employee went public about her assault and sparked renewed conversation of the treatment of women in Chinese society.
The defendant, Zhang Guo, was a representative from a supermarket that was in talks for business dealings with Alibaba, the Chinese e-commerce giant. Zhang had met the female Alibaba employee, surnamed Zhou, at a business dinner in July 2021.
Zhou later accused Zhang and another male Alibaba colleague of plying her with alcohol. She said she was sexually assaulted at the dinner, and later again in her hotel room. She went public with her accusations on Alibaba’s internal message board after she said that she had received no satisfactory response from the company.
A court in Jinan on Wednesday found Zhang to be guilty of forcible indecency against Zhou while she was drunk at the dinner and the next day in her hotel room, and sentenced him to prison, according to a statement issued by the court on its official WeChat account.
It also said Zhang did not exhibit remorse nor plead guilty for his actions.
When Zhou went public with her accusations, the case drew much attention online. Alibaba faced backlash for how it handled the situation.
Shortly after, Alibaba fired the male colleague accused of assault and stated that it had “zero tolerance” over sexual assault. The colleague, surnamed Wang, faced a 15-day detention after Chinese prosecutors dropped the case against him.
Zhou’s lawyer, Du Peng, told The Associated Press three other legal cases are pending, one of which was appealing the decision to not prosecute Wang. Zhou did not immediately comment.
In December, Alibaba terminated Zhou’s employment, stating that she was dismissed for spreading false information about her assault and that her actions had negatively impacted the company.
Zhou’s termination came even as Alibaba CEO Daniel Zhang pledged to improve the company’s culture and formulate anti-sexual harassment policies at Alibaba.
Alibaba did not immediately comment.

The only thing worse than queueing for drinks at a festival is queueing for the toilet a short while later – especially since Glastonbury’s lines are infamously long.
With more than 200,000 people expected to descend on Worthy Farm over the next few days, it’s safe to assume the bogs will be busy – and therefore it’s wise to know exactly where they are in advance.
If you’re known for breaking the seal after a single swig of booze and being forced to clamber out of the crowd mid-set at a gig, then being toilet-aware is paramount.
Of course, some will have medical or accessibility reasons for needing to be extra-alert to loo locations.
So, where exactly are Glasto’s toilets, then?
Where are the toilets at Glastonbury 2022?
Tracking down the toilet block is your biggest practical concern for Glastonbury 2022?
Then you’ll be pleased to know not one but two maps exist, highlighting where the non-accessible and accessible stalls are located, across the Worthy Farm festival site.
Marked with a red dot, the map shows five toilet blocks surround the sides Pyramid Stage, with further toilets scattered around the public campsites, including The Woods, Spring Ground accessible campsite and Row Mead – the latter near the Medical Centre.
Toilets are also available near the Bus & Coach Station, Cineramageddon and around the Other Stage, Silver Hayes, Arcadia and The Park.
In total, there are more than 30 areas around the site where you can pop to the loo. Phew.
View the enlarged toilet map here.
On the map highlighting wheelchair-accessible toilets, it seems the majority are located away from the public campsites – with at least one appearing on the way to the Pyramid Stage near Silver Hayes.
There are several nearby The Glade and Other Stage, with many appearing to be available by Block9, Avalon, Circus, Theatre, Left Field and The Park.
There is also an accessible toilet near the entrance by Yellow Gate, near Row Mead and the Medical Centre, and several near the Spring Ground accessible campsite.

Binky Felstead has revealed she was ‘so lucky’ her dog survived after he was left for dead when he was hit by a van.
The Made In Chelsea star, 32, took to Instagram to share a series of photos and videos of her dog Pedro, who cheated death in the terrifying incident, and his injuries.
Binky was seen looking sad as she lay in Pedro’s bed as the poorly pooch was seen with a cone on his neck and a large cut diagonally across his head from ear to ear.
In another video, Binky’s husband Max Darnton was seen feeding Pedro from his hands and looked concerned in another photo with the dog.
Binky told her followers what had happened, explaining: ‘TRIGGERING * A pretty terrifying few hours as our Pedro was hit by a van …( who drove off and left him for dead yesterday without stopping to see if he was okay.. )
‘Yesterday we thought we’d lost Pedro, as he chased another dog across a road and was hit by a speeding van.
‘I got a call from Max saying he probably wouldn’t make it and I had to urgently come to the vets and say goodbye. I don’t think I’ve seen anything like what I saw & of course we were in pieces.’
The reality star thanked the vets who had seen to Pedro and managed to save his life, adding: ‘To the van driver who hit Pedro, you are vile, immoral & I feel sick to my stomach you’ve got away with this.
‘Well, that’s of course until karma gets you …. Maybe you drove off and left an animal for dead because you were speeding? You should feel ashamed!
‘Regardless, I can now say thank god he’s alive (amazingly) & we are so happy he’s now back home and getting lots of cuddles. India hasn’t quite got used to how he now looks & is a little scared to go too close to him but of course this will pass.’
Binky also revealed that Pedro would be getting extra special treatment after his near-miss, adding: ‘He definitely heard us when we were saying our goodbyes over his lifeless body & I truly believe that helped bring him around.
‘SO HAPPY YOU’RE HOME MY BOY – you can sleep in our bed WHENEVER you like!!!!’

No link to rioting, attempt made to give mala fide colour to lawful demolitions: UP govt to SC
The state government in an affidavit, said: "Lawful action was taken by the local development authorities as per the procedure established by law"
The Uttar Pradesh government has told the Supreme Court that the plea against the recent demolition of houses is an attempt to give a mala fide colour to a lawful action taken by the local development authorities as per the procedure established by law.
The state government in an affidavit, said: "Lawful action was taken by the local development authorities as per the procedure established by law."
It added that the plea filed by the Muslim body Jamiat Ulama-I-Hind cherry-picked one-sided media reporting of a few incidents and extrapolating sweeping allegations from the same against the state government.
"It is submitted that the said demolitions...have been carried out by the local development authorities, which are statutory autonomous bodies, independent of state administration, as per law as part of their routine efforts against unauthorised/illegal constructions and encroachments, in accordance with the UP Urban Planning and Development Act, 1972," said the affidavit.
The state government justified demolitions, which were carried out in Prayagraj and Kanpur following protests against the BJP leaders' remarks on Prophet Muhammad.
The state government said that allegations are completely false and misleading, and none of the actual affected parties have moved the top court in connection with the lawful demolition actions. It further added that the petitioner has deliberately obfuscated the true facts to paint a nefarious picture of alleged mala fides on the part of the administration, and that too, without stating any facts on affidavits.
"The petitioner, Jamiat Ulama-I-Hind, has failed to place on record the facts duly supported by affidavits and has merely hand picked certain media, reporting to make unfounded allegations against the state machinery and its officers, and seeks sweeping omnibus reliefs unfounded in either law or fact," the Uttar Pradesh government said.
The state government, in connection with the demolition carried out in Kanpur, said the factum of the constructions being illegal, has also been admitted by the two builders over there. Also, in the case of demolition of Javed Mohammed's house, the state government said local residents complained against the illegal constructions and use of the residential property for commercial purposes for running the office of 'Welfare Party of India'.
The state government added, "In so far as taking action against the persons accused in rioting is concerned, the state government is taking stringent steps against them in accordance with completely different set of statutes, namely: Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), the Indian Penal Code (IPC), UP Gangster and Anti Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 1986, Prevention of Public Property Damages Act; and (iv) Uttar Pradesh Recovery of Damages to Public and Private Property Act, 2020 and Rules 2021."
The Muslim body Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, moved the top court against the recent demolitions carried out by the state administration in Kanpur and Prayagraj.
The top court, on June 16, had told the Uttar Pradesh government that demolitions of houses must be done in accordance with the law and not as a retaliatory measure and sought response from it.

Agenda-setting intelligence, analysis and advice for the global fashion community.
Total sales by China’s e-commerce giant JD.com rose 10.3 percent over the 18 days to Sunday during the first major shopping festival since a recent Covid-19 outbreak, the company said, sharply down from the 2021 event’s growth of 27.7 percent.
This year’s figure was the slowest for the retailer, showing how consumer appetite in the world’s second largest economy has been hit by lockdowns to halt the Omicron variant of coronavirus and slowing economic conditions.
Chinese shoppers purchased 379.3 billion yuan ($56.48 billion) of goods on JD’s platform over the “618″ period, it said on its official WeChat account.
“We are further improving delivery services in urban and rural areas,” it added in statement, referring to efforts during the event that built on its supply chain infrastructure and digital intelligence technology.
The 618 event is China’s second largest shopping festival after Singles Day in November, and was initiated in 2004 to mark JD.com’s founding anniversary.
JD.com’s rivals, run by Alibaba Group and Pinduoduo tend not to publish 618 figures.
But consultancy Syntun estimated that online e-commerce platforms including Alibaba’s Tmall marketplace, JD.com and Pinduoduo together achieved 582.6 billion yuan ($86.75 billion) worth of 618 sales this year, nearly flat compared with last year’s 578.5 billion yuan.
Despite efforts by the e-commerce companies this year, such as to simplify promotion rules and offer deeper discounts, “reaction from the market was lukewarm,” Syntun said in a report on Sunday.
Shopping festivals have traditionally been popular in China, with many buyers delaying purchases to benefit from the massive discounts they offer to entice shoppers.
But there were already signs last year of faltering consumer demand at such events, when rival Alibaba saw sales growth of just 8.5 percent during its Singles Day frenzy, also its slowest ever.
Over the last three months, China’s battle to restrain Covid-19 has brought lockdown measures of varying intensity in dozens of cities, in turn hitting spending, livelihoods and supply chains.
To stimulate demand this year major e-commerce platforms pushed brands to offer bigger discounts for the 618 event, but some companies and agents told Reuters they planned to scale down such participation.
Apart from e-commerce firms, more internet platforms and offline stores joined this year’s event, among them short video platforms Douyin and Kuaishou.

Kartik Aaryan reveals why he named his pup Katori: 'She looked like a bowl'
Kartik Aaryan has finally revealed why he has named his pet pup ‘Katori’. He was speaking at an event when he was asked about the puppy. A bowl is called katori in Hindi. (Also read: Imtiaz Ali and Kartik Aaryan meet, actor hints Love Aaj Kal 3 is on the cards)
Kartik had introduced Katori to his fans earlier this year as his new family member. The actor often shares pics and videos with his pup and Katori Aaryan also has an Instagram page for itself.
“She is Katroi Aaryan because jab woh gharpe aayi thi she looked like a bowl. Itni choti si and katori jaise hi dimaag mai tha. Toh isliye katori rakh diya naam, uska haircut bhi katori jasisa hai (We named her Katori Aaryan as when she came home she looked like a small bowl. She was so tiny and cute and ‘katori’ named popped up in our mind. So we named her Katori and her haircut is also like a katori),” a Times Now report quoted him as saying.
Kartik had shared a cute picture of himself with the puppy sitting on his face earlier this month. He captioned the picture as: "Sundaying with my pillow @katoriaaryan." When he contracted Covid-19, Kartik also posted messages for the pup, stressing on how much he missed it.
Meanwhile, Kartik is riding high on the record-breaking success of his latest outing, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. The film stars Kiara Advani opposite Kartik and has set a new record for fifth weekend collections. Directed by Anees Bazmee, the film also stars Tabu and Rajpal Yadav.
Produced by Bhushan Kumar and Murad Khetani, the film is a standalone sequel to Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan's hit 2007 psychological horror comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa.
Kartik will be next seen in the action-comedy Shehzada. The film is the Hindi remake of the Telugu blockbuster Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo and it also stars Kriti Sanon. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/kartik-aaryan-reveals-why-he-named-his-pup-katori-101655866914444-amp.html | 2022-06-22T08:18:21Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/kartik-aaryan-reveals-why-he-named-his-pup-katori-101655866914444-amp.html | true | 2 |

State failing to protect us
Private security does not absolve the state
Crime is a lived, everyday reality in this country. It has reached such levels that some crimes that would raise people’s temperatures in normal societies or even topple governments have become par for the course for us. The people have been numbed beyond numb by what should normally be a sickening regularity and the accompanying brutality and brazeness of it all.
It speaks of a failing state that cannot afford its citizenry one of the most basic obligations demanded of the state machinery. Many have sought refuge from it all by turning to the provision of safety and security by an industry outside of the state. ..

Srinagar: Following incessant rainfall during the last 24 hours in Kashmir, the authorities have sounded a flood alert in the region. Heavy rains have also triggered a rise in the rivers and streams in Jammu and Kashmir. The flood and irrigation department sounded the flood alert in the Jhelum River as the water level crossed the 18 ft-mark at Sangam in the Anantnag district, which is a mark for flood alarm. Low-lying areas in Srinagar city and other parts of the Valley are facing waterlogging as higher reaches are threatened by flash floods and mudslides. However, the Meteorological (MeT) department has forecast an improvement in the weather from the afternoon onwards.Also Read - Jammu Kashmir Announces 21 Days Summer Vacation For Degree Colleges in Jammu Region
“Weather will improve significantly from today afternoon and there is no likelihood of any major rainfall during the next 7 days in J&K,” an official of the MeT department said. Also Read - Jammu Kashmir Department of Tourism Hosts 7-Day Long Food Festival at The Tulip Garden - See Stunning Visuals
As per the officials, the authorities have started moving people from low-lying areas to safer locations. Vaishov stream, which flows mainly through Kulgam district, was flowing dangerously above the flood alert mark. A breach in a temporary diversion along the banks of Vaishov stream was also reported. The Doodhganga stream was also flowing close to the flood alarm level at Barzulla in the heart of the city’s civil lines area.
The water level started receding since 10.00 am, as per the officials. According to the officials, heavy rainfall across Kashmir has triggered flood concerns among the residents of the Valley even as snowfall in higher reaches including the cave shrine of Amarnath has brought down the day temperature substantially.
Srinagar had 11, Pahalgam 6.6 and Gulmarg 3.2 degrees Celsius as the minimum temperature. Srinagar recorded a maximum temperature of 15.0 degree Celsius on Tuesday making it the coldest day in almost 50 years.

The appointment underscores the private markets firm's ongoing commitment to be at the forefront of adopting innovative technology solutions, and a recognition of the significant role digital assets are likely to play in broadening access to the private markets
CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa., June 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Hamilton Lane (NASDAQ: HLNE) today announced that Victor Jung is joining the firm as Head of Digital Assets. In this newly-created role, Jung will be responsible for developing and overseeing the execution of the firm's digital asset strategy. He will oversee this strategy globally and report directly to Frederick Shaw, Chief Risk Officer and Global Head of Operations.
Jung brings nearly a decade of leadership experience in financial services across both institutional and private wealth channels to Hamilton Lane. He was most recently Head of Distribution Partners & Liquid Private Markets – Asia Pacific, at Partners Group. In that role, Jung oversaw business development and led the onboarding of the firm's first three wealth technology platforms.
"We're committed to expanding access to this asset class for a broader set of investors, and to bringing greater usability and transparency through the use of technologies like blockchain," said Shaw. "We are thrilled to welcome Victor to our team as we look to build on our digital asset offering and continue to find innovative ways to serve investors of all sizes around the world."
This news comes as the firm looks to broaden its digital asset offering, which today includes a partnership with Singapore-based digital securities exchange ADDX, offering tokenized access to Hamilton Lane's Global Private Assets Fund. The Fund is accessible to ADDX investors at a minimum ticket size of $10,000, compared to the minimum of $125,000 or more for investors who subscribe via traditional, non-tokenized distribution channels.
The partnership, and subsequent balance sheet investment into ADDX, made Hamilton Lane one of the earliest major private markets firms to tokenize a fund, and reflect the firm's long-standing commitment to identifying and investing in innovative technology solutions as a means of solving for some of the traditional pain points in the asset class. For more than a decade, the firm has been making strategic investments into innovative financial technology firms aimed at improving access and transparency within the private markets. Many of the companies in which the firm has invested today are viewed as standard bearers for the industry. In addition to ADDX, recent investments have included ESG technology platform Novata and wealth management fintech platform TIFIN.
"Hamilton Lane is a firm that shares in my belief that digital assets present a major opportunity for the private markets, and are likely to be transformative within this asset class," Jung said. "I look forward to collaborating with a leadership team that is committed to investing in and adopting transformational solutions – and partnering with leading fintech platforms globally – in an effort to deliver best-in-class services to investors looking to diversify into or expand allocation to the private markets."

Then: Ardennes, Belgium (1944-45)
The Battle of the Bulge was Germany’s last major offensive on the Western Front during World War II—and it was an enormous campaign in scope, significance, and endurance. Both the winter weather and the fighting were brutal during 16 weeks of battle in the densely wooded Ardennes forest, where the cold alone was responsible for tens of thousands of casualties. In all, the U.S. suffered more than 100,000 casualties, making the Battle of the Bulge the costliest battle in Army history. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2640532712490/then-ardennes-belgium-1944-45 | 2022-06-22T08:26:22Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2640532712490/then-ardennes-belgium-1944-45 | false | null |
HONOLULU (KHON2) — Fake I.D.’s from China were tucked away in packages bound for Hawaii according to federal authorities. That’s until Customs and Border Patrol intercepted the package in Chicago.
“Looking at the I.D.’s they’re for multiple states, and some of them had what looked like, just by glancing at them, the gold star,” said John F. Tobon, Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent in Charge.

Homeland Security Investigations in Honolulu discovered dozens of counterfeit driver’s licences, ordered by 16 students from two private schools on Oahu. Agents believe the students ordered the fake I.D.’s online, leaving criminals overseas with sensitive information as well as their parent’s credit card information to buy the I.D.’s.
“They shared their picture, their actual picture,” Tobon said. “They shared part of their birthdate, They shared their signature to be included in these documents.”
While these fake I.D.’s may have been used to make the teens appear a few years older, officials are concerned criminals could use the information for extortion or ransom.
“It is available for this company that is producing these I.D.’s to do whatever they want with their likeness with this personal information,” Tobon added,
So the message to the public is simple.

“The less information you put out there, the better,” said Tobon. “We know fraudsters look for this information. Even if they provide one piece of information, fraudsters may be able to find the other pieces.” | https://www.khon2.com/hawaii-crime/hawaii-students-caught-buying-fake-ids-from-china/ | 2022-06-22T08:26:36Z | https://www.khon2.com/hawaii-crime/hawaii-students-caught-buying-fake-ids-from-china/ | false | 1 |

Youth from all across the country are spending one week of their summer break camped out at Greenwood High School as part of a mission trip.
TWIG, which stands for “Together We Impact Greenwood,” is hosted by First Presbyterian Church.
More than 100 youths broken up into 14 crews are spending their week at 11 work sites, doing simple home repair and improvements such as painting or building wheelchair ramps for those in need of some assistance.
The mission is through Group Mission Trips, an interdenominational nonprofit Christian organization that organizes missions. This is the third time First Presbyterian has hosted one of the home repair mission trips.
Phyllis Collins, a volunteer with the church, said they initially reached out to organizations such as GLEAMNS and the Upper Savannah Council on Aging and took applications.
Liz Steinberg with Group Mission Trips said this year’s theme is “go serve.”
She said acts of service are an easy way to feel a connection with God, and regardless of the intricacies of one’s faith, “I think we all find service in common.”
“That is a way that we can all demonstrate our faith and grow through it,” Steinberg said.
Zoie Gilreath, a camper from LaFayette, Georgia was at a home where the teenagers this week will be replacing parts of a deck, painting, fixing a doorknob and fixing a doorbell.
She said it makes people feel better to have things that are better to use and for her, the best part of the week is working and meeting people.
Collins thanked Rock Presbyterian Church and Greenwood School District 50 for their help with the camp.

No One Likes Kamala? DNC Cuts Price of Photo with Kamala Harris from $15,000 to $5,000
Vice President Kamala Harris has struggled with likability throughout her political career, and the issue does not seem to have gone away during her first year and a half with the Biden administration.
According to Breitbart, Harris was scheduled to attend a Woman’s Leadership Forum fundraiser in May, where she would have been available to pose with fans for a photo for $15,000.
However, the event was postponed until the fall because the Democratic National Committee did not sell enough tickets.
Now, the DNC has reportedly slashed prices for a photo with Harris at an upcoming fundraiser in California.
According to Puck News reporter Tara Palmeri, the DNC will charge $5,000 for a picture with the vice president. That is a decrease of 66 percent from the price it planned to charge in May.
According to an average of approval polls from FiveThirtyEight, Harris had a net approval rating of -13.1 percentage points as of Friday. This was only slightly above President Joe Biden, whose approval rating was -15.1 percentage points as of Tuesday.
As the midterms approach, Harris’ inability to raise money and her abysmal approval rating are a serious concern for Democrats. Yet possibly even more concerning for Democrats is the 2024 presidential election.
In May, Intelligencer reported that many Democrats were hoping to find a replacement for Biden, whose age figures to be a big question with regard to a potential second term.
While Harris was originally assumed to be the heir apparent, her widespread unpopularity has put Democrats in a tough position.
Some sources close to Harris reportedly believe she would be in a better position if it weren’t for Biden, CNN reported in November. California Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis said she felt Harris was not being given enough meaningful tasks by the president.
“She’s very honored and very proud to be vice president of the United States,” Kounalakis said. “Her job as the No. 2 is to be helpful and supportive to the president and to take on work that he asks her to take on.
“It is natural that those of us who know her know how much more helpful she can be than she is currently being asked to be.”
However, this argument ignores the fact that Harris has been largely unable to handle the issues Biden has given her. For example, when asked about her failure to visit the southern border after Biden tasked her with addressing the invasion happening there, she got defensive.
Wow @KamalaHarris is that sneaker still in your mouth? 👟 This is absolutely cringe. “I’ve never been to Europe either” (when asked about the border). Cause that’s the same. I mean wow. #BorderCrisis #alpolitics pic.twitter.com/Ry7ybZ5n8l
— Jessica Taylor (@JessicaTaylorAL) June 8, 2021
Harris finally visited the border on June 25, 2021 — 94 days after Biden appointed her to lead the administration’s response to illegal immigration, the New York Post reported.
When she did so, she went to El Paso, Texas, which is hundreds of miles away from the sites where most of the illegal crossings are happening. A year later, the crisis at the southern border rages on.
Failures like this one, as well as Harris’ refusal to acknowledge them, have led to her widespread disapproval. That is an issue not only for her but also for the future of the entire Democratic Party.

If there is no visible threat, agents will dismiss the event, helping organizations avoid false alarms. If agents determine the threat to be legitimate, they will immediately notify an organization's pre-selected contact list via phone, SMS, or email.
In the United Kingdom and Ireland, agents are also able to directly contact emergency services if there is a visible threat in progress, as well as send police live video links to provide crucial context into what is happening on-site.
Complete Building Coverage
Because Verkada products integrate seamlessly with each other, events from any Verkada device can be used to trigger an alarm. A person appearing on camera after hours, a door being forced open, or a noise level spiking can all be configured as alarm triggers.
For organizations that desire even more complete building coverage, Verkada offers wired and wireless intrusion detection sensors, including door contact, motion detection, glass break, and water leak sensors.
The BP41 Alarm Panel includes 32 wired inputs, and allows organizations to pull data from their existing wired sensors into Command. The Panel also has two outputs to connect devices such as sirens or strobe lights, which can be activated remotely via Command to deter intruders.
Verkada's wireless sensors connect via the BH61 Wireless Hub, which utilizes our proprietary wireless communication protocol that is optimized for range, battery life, and network security.
To ensure that alarm devices stay connected in the event of power or internet loss, our Cellular Backup Module provides redundant connectivity via an embedded multi-carrier SIM with automatic failover across multiple LTE networks.
On-Site Safety with the Alarm Console
In addition to traditional intrusion sensors, Verkada's BC51 Alarm Console is a unique, multifunctional tablet that gives users greater control and visibility into what is happening in a given location.
The Alarm Console features include:
- Traditional arm/disarm capabilities
- Live video streaming and recording via an integrated camera
- Two-way talk down video from Command to address visitors, staff, or possible intruders
- Text-to-speech announcements
- A duress code to silently raise an alarm
- A digital panic button
Call for Help Anytime, Anywhere
In an emergency, Verkada Alarms gives staff multiple options to call for help. In addition to digital panic buttons on the Alarm Console, the Alarms mobile app and on Command, we offer wireless panic buttons. These can be mounted on a wall or under a desk, or worn on a lanyard or a belt for a constant sense of security.
Admins can customize what happens when a panic button is pressed, from initiating a door lockdown sequence to calling on-site security. Thanks to Verkada's integrated devices, Verkada cameras can also be paired with a panic button, allowing admins to immediately pull up live video of the area in which a panic button was pressed.
Availability
Verkada Alarms is now available in the United Kingdom and many European countries, as well as other countries around the world. Emergency dispatch capabilities are available only in the U.K., Ireland, U.S., and Canada.

SEATTLE, June 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- LumiThera Inc., a commercial stage medical device company offering photobiomodulation (PBM) treatment for ocular damage and disease, today announced detailed findings in its LIGHTSITE III, multi-center clinical trial in non-neovascular (dry) Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) subjects treated with Photobiomodulation (PBM) using the Valeda® Light Delivery System.
LIGHTSITE III, a prospective, double-masked, randomized, multi-center clinical trial, was conducted at ten leading US retinal centers. The objective was to treat non-neovascular (dry) AMD subjects with PBM every four months for a duration of 24 months. One hundred (100) subjects were enrolled in a 2:1 ratio of PBM to sham in the treatment groups. The mean age was 75 years and mean dry AMD duration since diagnosis was 4.9 years prior to trial enrollment. Baseline best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) letter scores observed were a mean + SEM of 69.4 + 0.8 and 70.1 + 0.7 in the sham and PBM treatment groups, respectively. The majority of subjects were considered to have intermediate dry AMD. The analysis included 91 eyes in the PBM treatment group and 54 eyes in the sham treatment group in the modified intent to treat population.
The trial results demonstrated statistically significant improvement in the prespecified primary endpoint in BCVA at 13 months in the PBM treatment group over the sham-treatment group (p = 0.02). A sustained, mean increase in ETDRS letter score of ~5.5 letters from baseline was seen at the 13-month timepoint in PBM-treated subjects (p < 0.0001). In the PBM treatment group responders, 55% of the subjects showed a >5 letter improvement on the standard EDTRS eye chart with a mean of 9.7 letters and 26% achieved a >10 letter improvement with a mean of 12.8 letters.
In addition to improvements in BCVA, anatomical measurements in PBM-treated subjects demonstrated no significant increase in drusen pathology at 13 months compared to baseline while sham subjects continued to see numerical increases in drusen deposition. Drusen deposition is the hallmark pathology for diagnosis of dry AMD which leads to chronic inflammation and is associated with disease progression and cell loss. A negative correlation was observed between lower drusen volume pathology and improvement in BCVA with PBM (Spearman correlation, -0.3, p = 0.004).
The advance to later stage disease pathology such as the neovascular (wet) form or the development of Geographic Atrophy (GA), i.e., loss of retinal tissue in naïve patients was evaluated. The % conversion of dry AMD to the wet form was 1.8% for sham, 5.4% for PBM and 8.3% for the non-study eye groups at month 13. A few patients had GA (9 eyes at screening), and were distributed evenly between 5 PBM and 4 sham eyes at baseline. At month 13, 6 additional eyes progressed with new GA identified. Overall, a total of five of 55 sham eyes progressed to new GA (9.1%) versus only 1 of 93 PBM eyes progressed to new GA (1.1%) at month 13.
"The subjects had good starting vision with approximately 70% having between 20/32 to 20/40 vision. Study subjects were only enrolled in the study if their vision was 20/32 to 20/100 and no evidence of GA in the central macula." stated Diana Do, MD, and Quan Dong Nguyen, MD, MSc, FARVO, Professors of Ophthalmology and members of the Retina Division at the Byers Eye Institute at Stanford University, a clinical site for the LIGHTSITE III trial. "Intermediate dry AMD patients have pathology and visual impairment consistent with earlier stages in the disease and have not lost retinal tissue by progressing to GA. Thus there is an opportunity to improve their vision while retinal tissue is still viable. Therapy with PBM using the Valeda Light Delivery System may serve a significant unmet need for many of our patients with dry AMD who now have the potential to improve their visual acuity with treatment."
"The safety results from the LIGHTSITE III trial through the 13-month timepoint were excellent," stated René Rückert, MD, MBA, Chief Medical Officer, LumiThera. "We now have patients that have exited the 2 year study. We will continue to follow all patients for the full 24 months for safety. To date the results are consistent with a very favorable safety profile and a non-invasive treatment that can target patients earlier in disease."
"A non-invasive approach such as PBM treatment with the Valeda Light Delivery System could have potential for high impact on the quality of life for dry AMD patients." said Eleonora Lad, MD, PhD, Associate Professor and Director of Ophthalmology clinical research at Duke University Medical Center, a participating site. "We have many patients that would be excited to benefit from any treatment that recovers or improves vision."
"Overall, the clinical results show improvements in vision; what is further interesting is the lack of drusen deposit in the PBM treated group, and potentially less patient conversions to wet form of disease," remarked Glenn Jaffe, MD, Robert Machemer Professor of Ophthalmology; Chief, Vitreoretinal Division and Director, Duke Reading Center, the central imaging center for the LIGHTSITE III study. "Patient progression to new GA was also evaluated and was less in the PBM group, and while the new GA progression numbers are small in this study group, all outcomes point in favor for PBM as a novel approach to treat dry AMD patients earlier in disease."
"The study continues to strongly support that Valeda PBM treatments can improve visual acuity." stated Clark Tedford, PhD, President and CEO, LumiThera. "Our commercial and clinical trial experience has demonstrated an excellent safety and clinical benefit profile and we plan on submitting a PMA to the FDA for U.S. approval."
The LIGHTSITE III data will be presented at the 34th International Congress of German Ophthalmic Surgery (DOC), which will take place in Nuremberg, Germany from June 23rd - 25th 2022. The LIGHTSITE III data will also be discussed at the OIC/WAVE 22 retina conference held in Vail, Colorado from June 22-25, 2022.
AMD is a leading cause of vision loss for people aged 65 and older. Losing central vision can make it harder to see faces, drive, or do close-up work, such as cooking or home repairs. The overall prevalence of AMD is estimated to increase 7-fold with age, from 4.2% in those aged 45–49 years, to 27.2% in those aged 80–85 years. Globally, the prevalence is estimated to increase by 20% between 2020 (195.6 million) and 2030 (243.3 million).
LumiThera is a commercial-stage medical device company focused on treating people affected by ocular damage and disease including dry age-related macular degeneration, a leading cause of blindness in adults over 65. The company is a leader in the use of PBM for treatment of visual disorders. The company is commercializing the office-based Valeda® Light Delivery System to be used by eyecare providers as medical treatments.

HARTSVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Energy developer Enbridge is hosting a series of open houses this month to discuss its plan to build a 125-mile methane gas pipeline in Tennessee between Trousdale and Roane counties.
The Tennessee Valley Authority is considering turning to gas as it moves to shut down coal-burning power plants. Environmental groups have denounced the plan, asking TVA to look harder at renewable energy options and energy efficiency. In addition to the climate damage, they argue that gas pipelines can be dangerous and that gas prices are highly volatile.
TVA officials argue that gas provides reliability and flexibility as a fuel that can be called upon at any hour of any day.
The open houses take place on Wednesday at Wartburg Central High School, on Thursday at Monterey High School, on June 29 at Jackson County High School in Gainesboro and on June 30 at First Baptist Hartsville. All meetings are scheduled from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. | https://www.wiltonbulletin.com/news/article/Developer-holds-open-houses-on-proposed-Tennessee-17257251.php | 2022-06-22T08:51:51Z | https://www.wiltonbulletin.com/news/article/Developer-holds-open-houses-on-proposed-Tennessee-17257251.php | false | 12 |
Tara Sutaria in The Ikat Story's co-ordinated set showed us boho-chic is too fabulous a vibe; Yay or Nay?
Tara Sutaria's latest look was styled with a cutesy nose ring. Don't miss out on this chic look.
Thought you'd forget co-ordinated outfits? No chance, stop trying. The world is hooked to its no-frills ethos of styling. Bring two or three elements together and voilà, off you get to go and slay! Celebrities have had their share of style days with these sets and if your vibe still resonates with that of summer, this boho-chic look will hold you up on a natty day in and out. Our eyes have landed on Tara Sutaria's latest look for the movie promotions of Ek Villain 2.
It's official, spiffy looks will galore our feeds, and let's get to the business of how to decode and emulate. The 26-year-old was photographed with co-actors such as John Abraham and Arjun Kapoor yesterday. On a day when you feel that summer can be defined best and deserves a comeback dose, bring this look to life again as you head to a brunch. At the heart of its relaxed fit, is another detail to watch. Styled by Meagan Concessio, The Ikat Story by Chandni Sareen’s creation woven with a blend of handwoven ikat from Telegana and kora cotton featured a bralette-style top with a halter-neck detail.
The combo looked tasteful with the tribal print that came in colours and patterns. The plunging neckline cropped number can also be your beach fit, style it with a cover-up or keep at its raw self. This was teamed with straight-fit matching trousers. Making it chicer as it should be was the pointed-toe leather boots. A mix of accessories comprising a nose pin, stacked bangles, rings, and silver jhumkas instantly added a desi aesthetic. Her hair was brushed into a middle part and her hair dye looked extraordinary as it sat in waves. A subtle pink pout, a winged eyeliner, and filled-in eyebrows rounded off her day's glam.
Is this look a YAY or NAY? Let us know in the comments below.

QINGDAO, China, June 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Global industrial and supply chains are being reshaped at an accelerated pace with a growing trend towards regional, offshore, local and short chains. At the 3rd Qingdao Multinationals Summit, top management executives from multinational firms and experts from a variety of sectors engaged in discussions on how to maintain stable, smoothly-running industrial and supply chains amid the market changes, as well as on how to innovate and optimize the business environment.
Currently, the global supply chain system is facing numerous challenges in terms of operation, including reversals in globalization, regional development, imbalance of resource allocation, increasing monopolization, trade protectionism and geopolitical tensions. In addition, the Covid-19 pandemic has exposed several problems with the global supply chains of some sectors, among them excessive length and complexity as well as the lack of reliability and stability.
Opportunities coexist with challenges. With the inconsistency in U.S.-China macroeconomic policies, companies can bet on both markets to offset risks while addressing the huge needs of the productive service industry by adopting digital, eco-friendly and innovative technologies globally. At the same time, the Chinese government has attached more importance to trade balance by launching a "dual circulation" strategy that can be leveraged to bring more opportunities to multinational firms.
Zhao Bingdi, vice president of Panasonic China Northeast Asia, said that Panasonic has continued investing in China partly as a result of the country's comprehensive, high-quality supply chain system, which also serves as a key advantage in the domestic business environment. Liu Lijia, vice president at Lafarge, a global cement maker, said that when choosing an investment destination, continuity and adaptability of local policies are the top concern for the company, followed by protection of intellectual property rights.
Ding Lei, chairman of Chinese autonomous driving technology developer Human Horizons, expressed the opinion that the three most important elements of an attractive business environment are the local government's embrace of international practices, consistency in local industrial policies and the certainty of those policies. He also stressed that the business environment in many parts of China still needs to be further improved to become more structured and science-based.
A good business environment is a major factor in helping companies speed up the resumption of work and production while addressing the challenges brought about by the pandemic.

@1TalldrinkH2O Most people get “Repent” wrong. Repent means turning away. Turning away is a process which requires acknowledgement, tries (with many failers) and help through friends and prayers.

The tragic flaw of the human race is, when we run out of facts we resort to beliefs. Per Fred Nietzsche: “Belief means not wanting to know what the truth is.

Another tragic flaw is we want so badly to believe our side of the story that we refuse to believe actual video and audio tape that proves our side is wrong.

GAIBANDHA, June 21: A boat was launched for ferrying pregnant mothers and newborn babies of Gaibandha chars to help them get health services during the emergency period.
An inaugural ceremony was held in Balashighat area under Kanchipara Union of Fulchhari Upazila in the district on Monday.
SKS Foundation, a local non-government organization, organized the programme under Maternal Neonatal Health Care and Family Planning Mamota Project funded by Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) and Save the Children, Korea.
Deputy commissioner (DC) Md. Oliur Rahman attended the function and addressed it as chief guest and country director, SCI, Onno Van Manen, deputy country director, KOICA BD Hyun Suh Kang, GPD, SCK, Minji Kang, Superintendent of Police Muhammad Towhidul Islam, Civil Surgeon Dr. AM Akhteruzzaman, Deputy Director Saiful Islam and UNO Mohammad Alauddin were present at the event as special guests while Upazila Chairman GM. Selim Pervez presided over the ceremony.
Earlier, Deputy Chief Executive of the organization Imrul Kayes briefed the overall activities of the project and said the project is being implemented at 12 unions under four upazilas including Fulchhari while SKS Foundation is working as implementing partner of the project.
An arrangement has also been kept for safety delivery system of the pregnant mothers in the boat during the emergency period, he also said.
DC Oliur Rahman in his speeches said this boat would undoubtedly play significant role to reduce the mortality rate of pregnant mothers and newborn and it would also help to achieve the sustainable development goal of the government by 2030.
The DC also thanked the officials of the project, implementing partner, and donor for launching such boat for the pregnant mothers and the newborn of Erendabari, Udakhali and Urya Unions of Fulchhari Upazila.
Later, DC Oliur Rahman inaugurated the boat namely "Mamotar Tori" through cutting a red ribbon as the chief guest. | https://www.observerbd.com/news.php?id=371622 | 2022-06-22T09:03:44Z | https://www.observerbd.com/news.php?id=371622 | true | 1 |
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korean prosecutors have barred dozens of people connected to Terraform Labs from leaving the country as they expand an investigation into a $40 billion collapse of the company’s cryptocurrency that devastated traders around the world.
The Seoul Southern District Prosecutor’s Office said Wednesday it plans to summon them for questioning as it tries to determine whether the company committed fraud or violated financial regulations before the implosion of its digital currencies, TerraUSD and Luna, in May.
The office didn’t specify the number of people placed under the monthlong travel ban or who they are, although they may include current and former staff members and developers. Prosecutors refused to provide more details, saying the investigation was ongoing.
Daniel Hong, a former Terraform developer, tweeted a government notice showing that he was banned from leaving the country through July 19. Hong tweeted: “stop asking me why i couldn’t make it to NYC frens, this is why: the Korean government imposed an exit ban for all ex-@terra_money employees today.”
The collapse of TerraUSD and Luna, developed by Terraform Lab’s Stanford-educated co-founder Do Kwon, affected an estimated 280,000 South Korean investors while causing broader turmoil in the global cryptocurrency market.
TerraUSD was designed as a “stablecoin,” which are pegged to stable assets like the U.S. dollar to prevent drastic fluctuations in prices. However, around $40 billion in market value was erased for the holders of TerraUSD and its floating sister currency, Luna, after the stablecoin plunged far below its $1 peg in May.
South Korean prosecutors launched the investigation last month following collective complaints filed by dozens of investigators. They could try to summon Kwon, who is reportedly in Singapore and faces accusations that he exaggerated the stability of his currencies.
The Bank of Korea, South Korea’s central bank, said in a report published earlier this month that the collapse of TerraUSD and Luna was a major factor in the global currency market shrinking by more than 40% compared to late last year, when its market value reached over $2.3 trillion. The U.S. Federal Reserve’s recent decision to raise its key interest rate to fight inflation has also contributed to the slide by further repelling investors from volatile assets, the bank said. | https://www.milfordmirror.com/news/article/South-Korea-hits-dozens-with-travel-bans-amid-17257252.php | 2022-06-22T09:06:48Z | https://www.milfordmirror.com/news/article/South-Korea-hits-dozens-with-travel-bans-amid-17257252.php | false | 36 |
Specialized Levo SL review in a sentence: This is one of the best electric mountain bikes you can buy. It’s cleverly designed, beautifully made and performs wonderfully, whether you’re under power or not.
There’s a lot of competition out there from bike makers, especially those in the e-MTB category and they can be lucrative products for manufacturers. As you’ll see from our best electric mountain bike collection, these things are big ticket items too.
Enthusiast’s don’t usually mind shelling out a bit, or even a lot, for what they want though. I guess I’d be no different. And, with something like the Specialized Levo SL, you certainly get a superb bit of kit in return for parting with all those readies.
There are other brands, of course, like Merida, Cannondale and Haibike for example, but Specialized’s Levo SL is definitely one of the best on the e-MTB market currently.
If you want to know more about T3's product reviews, take a read of our how we test page. Otherwise, read on for my thoughts about the Specialized Levo SL.
Specialized Levo SL: price and availability
The Specialized Levo SL is available to buy now and, this being a brand that delivers lots of choice, there are a variety of variations on the same model. In the US, there’s the S-Works Turbo Levo SL (opens in new tab) to consider, though the Turbo Levo SL Comp Carbon (opens in new tab) is more affordable but no less fab.
Specialized offers its bikes in the usual size options, such as S, M, L or XL, though as with everything else currently availability can fluctuate, presumably due to supply chain issues.
Meanwhile, in the UK, there’s the Turbo Levo SL Expert Carbon (opens in new tab), for example, or the Turbo Levo SL Comp (opens in new tab). Specialized does also have frequent offers, which can help to shave some cash off the asking price.
Specialized Levo SL: design and build
Unsurprisingly, the Specialized Turbo Levo SL is light, around 10 pounds lighter in fact than a ‘standard’ model and that’s immediately noticeable as soon as you start moving it around. The SL bit of the name means the bike I’ve been trying is a 2x You edition, or Super Light System.
There’s 160/150mm front and rear suspension too, all of which sits in an aluminium frame that is finished in a Cast Battleship/Black colour combination. It looks very cool.
The battery is housed in the frame, something that Specialized is particularly good at and the result here is as impressive as ever. It’s a Specialized SL1-320 unit, rated at 320Wh and is mated to a Specialized SL 1.1 motor, which has been designed to be as lightweight as possible.
The plan has obviously been a success because you can lift this bike over something like a stile without breaking into a sweat. Charging, meanwhile, is done using a 48V system via the standard Specialized charging port at the foot of the frame.
The power and way it is delivered will be familiar if you’ve ridden Specialized bikes before. There’s the familiar button combo on the frame, which needs to be pushed to activate and you then set your preferred level.
There are plus and minus assistance buttons on the left-hand side of the handlebars too, which allow you to get more help as and when you need it.
This being a quality e-MTB, the Specialized Levo SL can be set up to suit the person riding it. That means it’s worth spending some time getting it just right as pretty much everything can be adjusted. We’ve all got our own riding preferences and that’s certainly a real boon with this model.
I spent a while tweaking the Specialized Levo SL before riding it for the first time, but then came back home and made some more adjustments to get the riding position just right. The fact that it’s so malleable in terms of ride position is a major plus while the overall quality on show really underlines just what a premium proposition this electric mountain bike really is.
Specialized Levo SL: the ride
This would be a great mountain bike even if it didn’t have the additional benefit of power assistance. However, once you’ve fired up the system, the Specialized Levo SL feels nigh on unstoppable.
I got it to go over terrain that looked impossible to navigate, but the combination of excellent gearing and a seamless drip feed of power means you can tap into the motor’s torque to get over (and under) the trickiest of trails and tracks.
Delivery of the power is spot-on, while I’m really blown away by the slick gear changes provided by the components on this bike.
I’ve got no qualms about the ability of the Specialized Levo SL to get around off-road and it proved its worth on a variety of terrain. Where it was less great was on Tarmac roads. The tyres are perfect for chewing their way through rough and muddy ground, but I found them a little bit unpredictable out on the road.
They had the tendency to tramline a little and didn’t prompt confidence when turning corners sharply, probably because of the knobbles on the edge of the tyre. A minor point in the big scheme of things though as this is a mountain bike.
Specialized Levo SL: verdict
I’m really loving the Specialized Levo SL. It's an e-MTB that really comes into its own once you’ve got it set up to suit your own riding style. The list of highlights is seemingly endless, from that battery and motor combination through to the quality of components on offer. Indeed, the SRAM 12-speed gearing and associated chainrings, crankset and shift levers are a joy to use.
The same goes for the Bridge Comp saddle, those Specialized Trail handlebars along with the beefy SRAM hydraulic discs. Suspension too is spot-on, thanks to the Fox Float dampers. It’s all really good stuff. That Butcher front tyre might not be quite as enjoyable on hard surfaces as it is on the mud, but aside from that there is precious little to grumble about with the Specialized Levo SL. | https://www.t3.com/us/reviews/specialized-levo-sl-e-mtb-one-of-the-best-you-can-buy | 2022-06-22T09:16:49Z | https://www.t3.com/us/reviews/specialized-levo-sl-e-mtb-one-of-the-best-you-can-buy | true | 3 |
It’s not quite full steam ahead, but at least it’s a start. On Tuesday, the state House gave initial approval to the redraft of an infrastructure bond bill that allocates $250 million for passenger rail expansion across Massachusetts.
Massachusetts representatives are readying a $10.4 billion bond bill that would set aside $250 million toward a proposed passenger rail extension linking western Massachusetts to eastern Massachusetts. A committee vote is expected Thursday.
After an agreement announced earlier this year laid out a procedural path for East-West Rail, we expressed concern that Beacon Hill leadership was not maintaining the momentum gathered for this great leap forward on public transit and rail connectivity for the entire commonwealth. Credit where it’s due: This move gives some welcome legislative attention to the matter. It’s certainly nice to see a considerable figure next to the mention of passenger rail expansion to our oft-overlooked half of the commonwealth. Still, inclusion in the bond bill does not yet guarantee that this amount would be spent on this worthy endeavor.
It absolutely should be, though, given the bountiful benefits East-West Rail would bring. This only further behooves the Legislature to move with purpose to push this project farther down the tracks so that this critical funding can be put to use. Converting this dream of a great leap forward for Mass. transit into a reality will obviously require federal funding along with state money. The massive infrastructure package pitched by the Biden administration and passed by Congress last year put a sizable pool of federal dollars in play. We’ve stressed it before, and we’ll stress it again: Beacon Hill should tap these funds sooner than later, as their shelf life might not be permanent. Democrats’ midterm anxieties underscore the ever-shifting sands of Washington’s political reality, which could result in, among other things, the Republicans taking the House and U.S. Rep. Richard Neal losing the powerful House Ways and Means chairmanship.
House Speaker Ronald Mariano on Wednesday passed on an opportunity to express support for a new east-west rail authority and said state lawmakers want more information "before we move forward." State Rep. Tricia-Farley Bouvier vowed to continue to push for an expansion of passenger rail to Pittsfield.
It’s neither necessary nor wise to wait and see if these possible outcomes have adverse effects for East-West Rail’s future before it even gets out of the station. Floating some serious starter funding on the state side is a good step that ought to be followed by further steps to begin accessing the federal funding while it’s available. Creating a new public rail authority to oversee the westward expansion would be a good start so that there’s a dedicated place for those federal funds to start flowing — a low-cost measure that could be tacked onto the infrastructure bond bill, as Rep. Neal initially suggested at the April summit where the current framework was announced.
In its current state, however, this legislation instead proposes creating a new commission to examine whether Massachusetts actually needs a new rail authority or could task an existing entity with building and operating East-West Rail. Again, it’s a start, and some forward motion is better than none. Maintaining forward motion on this matter should be a priority, though, and the best way to do that is by taking concrete steps toward instead of merely talking about taking steps — e.g., thoughtfully creating the necessary rail authority instead of creating a commission to determine whether to create an authority.
House Speaker Ronald Mariano said last week that such a move would be “very premature” because “the jury’s not in on what this is going to cost and what the federal component is going to be and what the state commitment has to be.” This week, he and Senate President Karen Spilka called for more deliberation on a clearer picture of the funding and oversight structure of the project. By all means, deliberate — but don’t let that deliberation turn into needless delay. If it does, it would be both unfair and painful for the western half of the state that often feels overlooked and underserved while watching sizable swaths of funding disappear into the MBTA and other Eastern Massachusetts-centric infrastructure projects without proportional deliberation or hesitation. We hope this perspective is heard — and understood — when the infrastructure bond bill heads to formal debate at Thursday’s session.
Now is the time to preserve the momentum for a landmark rail proposal that stands to better connect the commonwealth, extend service to its underserved corners and prime the pump for regionally equitable development. The $250 million included in the infrastructure bond bill at least recognizes the head of steam built up for this important project by regional advocates and Western Massachusetts lawmakers. Don’t waste it — keep this crucial endeavor moving down the track and ensure this funding ultimately helps this important transportation project finds its destination. | https://www.berkshireeagle.com/opinion/editorials/our-opinion-keep-east-west-rail-moving-down-the-track/article_2f80d654-f190-11ec-b423-bbeb1c50ec83.html | 2022-06-22T09:17:57Z | https://www.berkshireeagle.com/opinion/editorials/our-opinion-keep-east-west-rail-moving-down-the-track/article_2f80d654-f190-11ec-b423-bbeb1c50ec83.html | false | 1 |
My daughter was only just starting to walk when the pandemic started. Now she's almost four, and in all that time — growing up, going to school — she's had no access to any protection from COVID-19 vaccines.
That changes this week. The White House has rolled out a plan for vaccinating the 19 million kids under 5 in the U.S., but if you're just coming out of the holiday weekend trying to figure out where to find an appointment, you're not alone.
Claire Hannan has been helping immunization managers from all 50 states navigate COVID-19 vaccine rollouts since fall 2020 as the executive director of the Association of Immunization Managers. She told NPR what's been happening behind the scenes to get this new low-dose formulation of Moderna and Pfizer's vaccines out so that little kids can finally get protected.
This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
What's the state of the rollout right now? Have pediatricians been able to order these new shots?
There were two waves of pre-orders. The first wave closed earlier in June, and the provider had to be able to accept vaccine yesterday — on the holiday — so the wave one pre-orders were small. There were significantly more orders in wave two of the pre-orders, which begin being delivered [Wednesday] or Thursday. So I think that it'll be easy to find vaccines by the end of the week.
The CDC advisory meeting where vaccine experts reviewed all the data was on a Saturday of a long weekend. You watched it – what did parents miss?
The committee was unanimous, very passionate about the benefit of the vaccine for kids. I think if anyone has doubts as to whether they should get it for their child, this should take any of those doubts away.
They reviewed data of the disease and the hospitalization and the deaths. There were no serious adverse events [from the vaccine]. It's something that they continue to track as the vaccine rolls out, but there's no reason to suspect that there might be, given the millions of doses of the vaccine on a bigger scale [that] have been given to adults. The effectiveness is not quite what it was with adults, but – with two doses and potentially a third dose of Moderna and three doses of Pfizer – the effectiveness against hospitalization and death is very good.
A lot of parents say, 'Well, my child has had COVID already.' The data they were looking at, it doesn't seem to show any benefit if your child has had COVID as far as preventing future hospitalization and death while the vaccine does [protect against that.] So even if your child has had COVID, I would recommend getting the vaccine and making sure that you get all three doses if it's Pfizer and the two doses if it's Moderna, and just watch for a booster to come.
How much will this rollout rely on pediatricians versus pharmacies?
I think this rollout will be much more reliant on pediatricians and family physicians. From what we've been told by CDC, 70-80% of pediatricians who are enrolled in the Vaccines For Children program are also enrolled in COVID program. There are a number of challenges for providers, but I think that there will be much more vaccine given in the medical home for kids than what we saw with older kids, and with adults where pharmacies can serve a big role.
[Pharmacies] can vaccinate down to age three right now while we're in the pandemic, but we've been told by CDC to expect 10% of pharmacies to vaccinate the under five-year-olds because many of them are not comfortable vaccinating the younger kids, they don't necessarily have that relationship with the parents, [or] the space.
Some pediatricians (including mine) do not plan to order the vaccine or offer it in the office. What are some reasons pediatricians may not be participating?
[With other vaccines], pediatricians normally get single-dose vials. When a child comes in, they take the vial out of the fridge and they give it. They don't have to worry about waste.
With the COVID vaccine, it's a 10-dose vial. So if they give a shot to a child, they've got to give nine more shots within 12 hours or they're going to waste – they have to discard the rest of the vial. It's just very, very difficult to get them to order [when they will have to likely] discard unused doses. We've just really been pushing to providers [with the message that] it's better to waste a dose and not waste an opportunity to vaccinate a child.
This is also a new formulation, right? The 5-11 year old vials were different – with an orange label.
Yes, this is a new formulation. The new Pfizer vials are maroon and [the Moderna ones] have a magenta label. So now you have something like six different formulations that a pediatrician would carry if they were carrying both Pfizer and Moderna for all age groups from six months to 18. That's another real challenge.
What we're seeing is that providers only want to carry one or the other brand. They want to reduce their chances of having a storage error or an administration error because the vaccines are so different.
With 5-11 vaccines, providers had to order a minimum of 100 doses. Is that the case with these vaccines?
Yes, the minimum order is 100 doses. That's definitely a challenge. The thing is with a 10-dose vial, if you're a rural provider or if you have a small practice, If you only have 10 kids in your practice in that age group, you know you're potentially opening 10 vials on 10 different days and throwing out the other nine doses every single time. And that's where a provider says, 'You know what? I'm probably not the right provider to be giving this vaccine out.' That's why we have providers, especially small providers in rural areas, saying that they don't want to order it.
But health agencies have done analyses of orders by zip code. They're using local health departments as a place where vaccine will be available in communities. And they're also setting up clinics at the school or mobile clinics if there aren't providers in a certain area that have ordered vaccine.
What should you do if your pediatrician isn't giving out shots and you want to get your under-5 kid vaccinated?
Check vaccines.gov. That shows providers [near you] that have supply of the vaccine for the kids under five. You can see, 'OK, well, this pediatrician is not my pediatrician, but they do have supply and they are vaccinating.' And you can call them. So I would start with the vaccines.gov — you can put in your zip code, you can look.
And then I would call my local health department, or just or go on their website, [or] the state health department website and look and see. They might be having a [vaccine] clinic in your area. I would also check with my pharmacy. CVS minute clinics and some of the urgent care clinics have capacity to vaccinate [kids] under 3.
The Florida governor has been making news by declaring the state would not order any COVID vaccines for this age group? Is vaccine being shipped to Florida?
What happened in Florida is that the state did not order any doses in that [initial] preorder. Providers [like family doctors] are ordering vaccine now, and they were able to order over the weekend, so there will be deliveries to providers probably starting Wednesday or Thursday.
So providers are ordering the vaccine, it is being delivered to them. The retail pharmacies were able to pre-order it, so some of them have it [already].
"[So for parents there,] I think it will be harder and it may be a couple more days before there's more vaccine, but it is being shipped to Florida."

The reigning time trial world champion, Filippo Ganna enjoys a new, flashy bike seemingly every time he contests the race of truth. On the road, things are more standard, but lust worthy all the same, with his Pinarello Dogma F.
This bike is the weapon of choice for the Ineos Grenadiers for just about any type of road race. It’s built up with the latest 12-speed Shimano Dura-Ace groupset and Dura-Ace wheels, and the standard cockpit and seatpost that come with the Dogma F.

- Gallery: Filippo Ganna’s Pinarello time trial bike with 3D-printed cockpit and tubeless tires
We got a close-up look at Ganna’s bike at the Critérium du Dauphiné, which will be the same bike he rides at the Tour de France.
Released last summer, the Dogma F is Pinarello’s flagship road bike. The Ineos Grenadiers version is built with a Dura-Ace groupset and C60 wheels, a Fizik Arione saddle, the standard cockpit and seatpost that come on the bike, and Continental Grand Prix 5000 S tubeless tires.
Though the drivetrain is the new 12-speed generation Dura-Ace, Ganna is running an older 11-speed Dura-Ace power meter crank, possibly to maintain access to the 54-42T chainring option he’s using here.
The rest of the drivetrain is up to date.
Ganna is a two-time TT national champion of Italy, though not currently. He is however currently on his second stint in the rainbow stripes as TT world champion.
Most created an integrated bar-stem cockpit just for the Dogma F.
The Dogma F has many wind-cheating features, including a downtube that shields the bottle cages.
Ganna relies on a Garmin computer to display his otherworldly wattage output.
The Dogma F has a super-tidy front end.
No rim brakes here. With the latest generation Dogma, the Ineos Grenadiers have been all in on disc brakes now that they have a bike that can touch the UCI weight limit with them.
The Dogma F cockpit comes in 16 bar width–stem length combos, giving more options for a good fit, even for outliers in size like the 6’4″ Ganna. | https://www.velonews.com/gallery/tour-de-france-bikes-filippo-gannas-pinarello-dogma-f/ | 2022-06-22T09:27:10Z | https://www.velonews.com/gallery/tour-de-france-bikes-filippo-gannas-pinarello-dogma-f/ | false | 1 |

BRINDISI, Italy (AP) — Film director Paul Haggis appeared in court in southern Italy on Wednesday amid a police investigation into a woman’s allegations he had sex with her without her consent over the course of two days.
Haggis, 69, made no comment as he arrived with Italian attorney Michele Laforgia at the courthouse in Brindisi, a port town in Puglia, the region that forms the “heel” of southeastern Italy. There was no sign that members of his family who were in Italy at the time joined him.
Prosecutors announced Sunday that police had detained the Canadian-born director, screenwriter and producer for investigation of alleged aggravated sexual violence and aggravated personal injuries.
State TV and other Italian media said the alleged victim is a 30-year-old Englishwoman who had known Haggis before he came to the tourist town of Ostuni to participate in an arts festival.
Haggis co-wrote, directed and produced “Crash,” which won the 2006 Academy Awards for best picture and best screenplay. He also wrote the screenplay for “Million Dollar Baby," another Oscar winner.
He has had legal problems in recent years stemming from sexual misconduct accusations by four women in the United States.
In Italy, a judge, after hearing arguments from both prosecutors and defense lawyers, is expected to rule Wednesday on whether Haggis should be freed from custody pending possible additional investigation.
The judge could also decide to order him kept jailed or under house arrest.
Haggis’ U.S.-based attorney, Priya Chaudhry, told The Associated Press on Sunday that although she could not discuss the evidence under Italian law, “I am confident that all allegations will be dismissed against Mr. Haggis. He is totally innocent, and willing to fully cooperate with the authorities so the truth comes out quickly.” | https://www.greenwichtime.com/entertainment/article/Director-Haggis-appears-in-Italy-court-amid-17257342.php | 2022-06-22T09:31:33Z | https://www.greenwichtime.com/entertainment/article/Director-Haggis-appears-in-Italy-court-amid-17257342.php | false | 24 |
The two parties aim to improve the urban charging network in Changzhi, Shanxi, through the construction of new charging facilities
BEIJING, June 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- NaaS Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: NAAS)("NaaS" or the "Company") entered into a strategic partnership with State Grid Changzhi Electric Power Supply Company to build new electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in a move to enhance the local charging services in Changzhi, Shanxi Province. Senior executives from both parties attended the ceremony, including Yu Xiang, Vice President of Operations, NaaS, and Hao Xiangjun, Deputy General Manager of State Grid Changzhi Electric Power Supply Company.
Under the agreement, State Grid Changzhi Electric Power Supply Company will provide construction sites and a stable power supply for new EV charging stations, while NaaS will build and operate the charging facilities, providing services including site selection, construction, and operation and maintenance (O&M). The Company will also provide charging pile operators with online and offline services including customer sourcing, marketing, O&M and facilities cleaning, alongside the provision of onsite food outlets as well as aftermarket and other value-added services - all as part of the city's overall plan to increase the utilization of charging piles and to build a charging services ecosystem.
"NaaS is a leading industry player with strong experiences in the construction of new EV charging stations, with a wide range of proprietary charging piles and accessories, and an established ecosystem of interconnected charging services. The strategic cooperation marks a substantial step towards, and a key step to, creating a green and low-carbon Changzhi. Both parties will work together to achieve mutually beneficial outcomes in a win-win situation," said the relevant person in charge of State Grid Changzhi Electric Power Supply.
"We are honored to partner with State Grid Changzhi Electric Power Supply to facilitate the construction of a new infrastructure to service EVs in Changzhi and to provide one-stop-shop services along the entire EV value chain," said Yu Xiang, Vice President of Operations, NaaS. "As a key player in the industry, NaaS is looking forward to, and is confident in our ability to, develop innovative products and provide fully digitalized services, contributing to the building of new EV facilities and interconnected charging networks across the city."
NaaS is one of China's largest and fastest growing companies working in the renewable and sustainable energy sector. The Company's digital solutions connect both upstream and downstream players, providing charger manufacturers, station operators, EV OEMs, and other industry participants with a single one-stop solution integrating online, offline and ancillary services.
On June 13, NaaS listed on the Nasdaq with the stock ticker NAAS, becoming China's first charging services company to go public. According to publicly available information, as of the end of 2021, NaaS had installed 290,000 charging piles in 288 cities across China. In 2021, NaaS delivered 55 million charges to EVs, amounting to 1,233 GWh and accounting for 18% of the country's total public charging volume.
Changzhi, a resource-rich city with a rapidly expanding economy, is currently a designated national industrial transformation and upgrade demonstration zone. Public data shows that in the first quarter of 2022, GDP grew by 8.3%, ranking Changzhi first in Shanxi Province. The city's strategic emerging industries grew by 97% on average over the past two years, with total industrial output the highest among all cities in the province. In March 2022, the local government issued the Changzhi Special Plan for EV Charging Infrastructure (2021-2025), detailing the city's plan for the construction of charging facilities in response to the country's EV industry development roadmap. During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, the city plans to build 119 new (including expanding existing) charging stations, adding 2,058 new charging piles.
In line with China's "dual-carbon" goals, as well as the growing demand for the transformation of the country's energy infrastructure, the cooperation will serve as a strong contributor to the upgrade of the city's charging infrastructure, while assisting China in its transition to a low-carbon and green future.

President Biden is set to announce on Wednesday that he wants Congress to give consumers a break on the federal gas tax for the summer months.
That would mean the government would stop collecting the tax — 18 cents per gallon on gas and 24 cents per gallon on diesel — until the end of September, the peak driving period for people heading out on summer vacations.
But economists say the move might not make that big a difference to drivers — and could actually backfire on the economy.
"It would be very unlikely that gas prices would fall by more than a dime because of this change. And oil company profits would go up by billions of dollars," said Jason Furman, who served as a top economic adviser to former President Barack Obama and is now at the Harvard Kennedy School.
There's no guarantee the tax savings would be passed on to consumers
Biden also plans to call on state governments to take similar actions with their own gas taxes, to give consumers relief. He wants oil refiners to boost their capacity so there's more gasoline on the market — another way to bring down prices.
But there's no way to force those tax cuts to be passed through to consumers.
And if the tax holiday encourages more spending, that could actually hurt the economy by providing a stimulus at a time when the government wants to curb inflation, said Carola Binder, an associate professor of economics at Haverford College.
"By making gas cheaper that allows people to buy more of it," Binder said. "It's giving them a tax cut and that gives them more to spend elsewhere. So that is going to lead to more inflationary pressures elsewhere."
Inflation is the biggest problem for Democrats in elections this fall
Biden and his Democratic party are in a tough political spot heading into November midterm elections. Republicans blame him for high gas prices and out-of-control inflation. Polls shows Americans are very dissatisfied with how Biden is handling the economy.
So there is a real demand for him to do something. Senior administration officials told reporters that a gas tax holiday won't fix all the problems, but they say it will provide families a little help while they work on more permanent solutions.

- Klarna launches a new Loyalty Card feature in the Klarna App, allowing users to store and access all of their physical loyalty cards as digital versions, removing the need to carry physical cards while out shopping in-store.
- Powered by Klarna's successful acquisition of mobile wallet provider Stocard in 2021, which has amassed over 48m users, the loyalty card offering integrates into the Klarna App as a means of strengthening an all-in-one experience that drives convenience and value to consumers' shopping journey - both in-store and online.
NEW YORK, June 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Klarna, a leading global retail bank, payments, and shopping service today announced the launch of its new Loyalty Card feature in the Klarna App. This allows app users to store and access their physical loyalty cards as digital versions. They can then collect all points and benefits at any merchant without the need to carry plastic equivalents while out shopping in-store. Powered by the acquisition of mobile wallet provider, Stocard, the primary consumer offering now integrates into the Klarna App as a means of further establishing an all-in-one experience that drives convenience and value to consumers' shopping journey. The feature supports over 8,000 loyalty reward programs worldwide, spanning everything from clothing and beauty to technology and groceries to help ensure that consumers never miss out on collecting valuable points - wherever they shop.
Loyalty programs are very popular amongst consumers. According to studies, 69% of US consumers say loyalty programs influence their purchasing decisions. However, today many loyalty programs require consumers to carry a physical card with them, which consumers find inconvenient. In fact, 79% are more likely to join a loyalty program that doesn't require them to carry a physical card. US consumers surveyed in a recent Klarna survey* reflect the same sentiment, with nearly a third (31%) having avoided signing up for a loyalty program in the past because they were unwilling to carry another card. In addition, over half (59%) of US consumers do not carry all of their loyalty cards with them while out shopping, meaning they regularly miss out on rewards when shopping in-store without their loyalty cards at hand.
The new Loyalty Card feature in the Klarna App solves this by enabling users to store their physical loyalty cards as digital versions in one place. Now, while out shopping, users can easily access any of their cards directly in the Klarna App and never miss out on loyalty points or perks again.
Björn Goss, Product Director at Klarna and Founder of Stocard: "Physical loyalty cards are an inconvenience in today's digital world and are therefore often left at home, resulting in consumers missing out on deals and merchants losing a prime opportunity to reinforce brand loyalty. We all know the situation: you are offered to join an attractive loyalty program but don't want to carry yet another plastic card around. By equipping Klarna App users with a digital space to collect their loyalty cards we allow them to reap the rewards of their in-store purchases in a far more convenient way, helping ensure that every penny spent counts towards a return."
David Fock, Chief Product Officer at Klarna: "At Klarna, we want to give consumers the world's best shopping experience, no matter whether that's online or on the high street. After the launch of our revolutionary new Virtual Shopping tool, Klarna is now delving deeper into physical retail, helping consumers save time and money everywhere they shop. By equipping users with a digital space to conveniently collect their loyalty cards we are raising the physical shopping experience to a new level of convenience and flexibility."
How does the Klarna Loyalty Card feature work?
- Step 1: From the homepage of the Klarna App, click on the Loyalty Card icon and select "Add card" button to see a full list of supported merchants and loyalty programs. Here users can browse through or search for a specific loyalty program. Alternatively, if the loyalty program is not supported yet, the user can choose to add "Other card" and input the merchant name manually.
- Step 2: Add your card. After finding the loyalty program, users can scan the barcode on their physical card with the camera on their mobile device. The app will then create a digital copy and store it in the reward space in the Klarna App. For cards that don't have a barcode, users are able to manually type their membership number in to add the card.
- Step 3: Use your card to collect points in-store. While shopping in a physical store, users are able to display and scan their loyalty cards from the Klarna App. Simply open up the card from within the app, scan the card at the checkout and collect the points or claim your discount, just as you would with a physical card.
Klarna's digital Loyalty Card space is live today in the Klarna App in 18 regions, including Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK and the US. The offering will extend to additional markets throughout 2022.
Note to editors
The new Loyalty Card feature perfectly augments Klarna's existing loyalty offering, the Klarna rewards club. Since its launch in September 2020, Klarna's rewards program has gained over 4 million members in the US and Australia, and recently expanded to six further markets. Members of the rewards program earn "points" for every payment they make on time with Klarna, no matter whether they pay now, pay later or pay over time. The points can be redeemed in the Klarna App for rewards at world-class brands including H&M, Amazon, Walmart, Foot Locker and many more. Members of the program also benefit from exclusive deals and gain early access to product drops from hand-picked merchants.
* Klarna research occurred in May 2022, in cooperation with Dynata and across 19 countries (US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Austria, Poland, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Italy, Spain, and Portugal). The survey includes a minimum of 1,000 respondents in each country. In total, 20,413 consumers ages 18 to 75 participated.

Thousands Filled The Streets Of São Paulo To Celebrate Pride
For the last few years, Pride has been a somewhat subdued, often virtual affair in Brazil and other countries around the world due to Covid-19 restrictions, but on Sunday 19 June, thousands showed up to celebrate the occasion and affirm their support for LGBTQ+ rights at São Paulo’s 26th Gay Pride Parade.
The march, which stretched for more than a mile, was called Vote With Pride, which was all too apropos given that Brazil has an election coming up in October, in which left-leaning former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, known as Lula, will be up against far-right incumbent President Jair Bolsonaro. Organiser Claudia Garcia said of the event: “After two years without in-person editions, it is an immense pleasure to return to the streets and reinforce to the public its responsibility to support representatives who are committed to a more just and egalitarian Brazil.”

Canada's main stock was set for its biggest weekly drop since the pandemic-driven market rout in March 2020, even as gains in healthcare and technology firms lifted the market on Friday.
At 9:48 a.m. ET (13:48 GMT), the Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index was up 150.68 points, or 0.79%, at 19,154.74, with all the sub-sectors trading higher.
The index was recovering after a brutal selloff on Thursday on fears that aggressive interest rate hikes from major central banks could trigger a recession. For the week, it has lost 5.8%.
"After getting crushed yesterday on concerns over tightening monetary policy and a weakening global economy, stock markets have been trying to bounce back this morning, but so far gains have been small relative to recent losses," said Colin Cieszynski, chief market strategist at SIA Wealth Management.
"So for the Canadian market, things just looks like it might be consolidating a little bit."
Healthcare shares rose 2.3%, supported by gains of 2.5% and 4.4% in pot producers Cronos Group, Aurora Cannabis and Tilray Brands.
The technology sector added 1.5%, with Lightspeed Commerce leading gains with a surge of 6%.
Bausch Health Companies Inc rose 1.8% even as it suspended plans for the initial public offering of its unit Solta Medical due to challenging market conditions.
On the economic front, producer prices in Canada rose by 1.7% in May from April on higher prices for energy and petroleum products, as well as chemicals and chemical products, Statistics Canada said.
Foreign investors bought a net C$22.23 billion ($17.10 billion) of Canadian securities in April, led by corporate bonds, following a revised C$46.47 billion total purchase in March, Statistics Canada said.

Have brands learned their lesson about Pride (or do they just not want to be told off on Twitter)?
The usual “put rainbows on everything” approach from brands feels quite absent from Pride this year. Sophie Wilkinson asks whether this means they’re learning, or is it something more sinister?
I miss the LGBT. No, not the community; rather, the M&S lettuce, guacamole, bacon and tomato sandwich. Launched in June 2019, it was like a fresher, less salty BLT, incredibly easy to gulp down on the go. Harder to swallow, though, is that this, the symbolic apex of corporate piggybacking of Pride, a perfect demonstration of how far brands had gone in their quest for the pink pound, was only around for a month. Even though – as I’m rudely reminded every cold, dark mid-February when my toes freeze to the bone – LGBTQ+ people exist all year round.
Pride is meant to commemorate the anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall Riots. Starting on 28 June and lasting for five nights, LGBTQ+ New Yorkers stood up to the police, who had made a habit of raiding gay bars and arresting punters. The uprising became a launchpad for America’s gay rights movement. Now, lucky us, LGBTQ+ people are a defined and targeted market for advertisers, with legions of friends and allies desperate to flag their support. Brands see our potential buying power (we don’t typically tend to have children, and the white gay men among us don’t always do too badly, income-wise) and want a slice.
So, each June we’re usually faced with all-rainbow-everything: bagels, sequin pants, cocktails, logos, drag brunches for hen parties and face glitter crayons for people who otherwise claim to be adults. A meme sums it up: behind a terrified man is a whizzing tornado, brimming with shoddily copy-pasted logos of all the brands to have rainbow-ed their logos in time for Pride. However, while homophobes see this meme as symbolic of the LGBTQ+ community pushing a so-called agenda, we’ve long grown tired of the monetisation of our identities.
Promoting LGBTQ+ visibility isn’t always unhelpful. A little rainbow flag dangling out of a pub or bar helps signal it as a safe space. As a lesbian, it’s comforting to know there are places where I can – mostly – be free to be me without homophobic remarks or aggressive leers. But this year, visibility is low, with Pride tie-ins feeling thin on the ground. Sure, I’ve been overtaken by a rainbow Zipcar and I’ve been encouraged, just yards from an 11th century castle, to take up a photo opportunity on a wooden swing adorned with rainbow balloons. But apart from these and a few rainbow logos, the Pride month tornado is now just a light breeze.
What’s changed? Perhaps brands have realised that the cynicism of these tokenistic gestures is almost as blatant as the garishness of the rainbow. After all, what’s the point in flying the flag if, in practical terms, all it means is big banks’ underpaid call centre workers trying to upsell me rotten schemes won’t automatically call me “sir” when they hear my deep voice? What use is a double-decker bus wrapped in a giant rainbow logo if nothing is being done to ensure the safety of its LGBTQ+ passengers?
It could be that these brands are wising up to the fact they’ve never done enough for a community that they’re asking a lot from – not only do they want our money, they also want our social activism! Or perhaps it’s just not worth the hassle of getting called out in articles like this for getting it wrong. Though rainbow flags, correctly applied, can help make me feel acknowledged and accepted, I’ve never been convinced that ephemeral tat is going to encourage homophobes to like me. Because brands can tell me they’re making my life as a lesbian that much easier with these symbols or they can put their money where their mouth is.
And sadly, that’s the thing truly missing this year. At least when brands were aiming for our pockets, they gave a little bit to LGBTQ+ services and charities too. That M&S sandwich raised £15,000!
You see, though it’s illegal to discriminate against LGBTQ+ people at work, it still happens. While it’s illegal to commit hate crimes, hate crimes against the community are rising. It’s not legal to discriminate against LGBTQ+ people in the NHS, yet bizarre rules mean that lesbian couples, despite tending to have two wombs between them, have to leap more hurdles than straight female peers to gain access to IVF treatment.
While the government has promised to ban conversion therapy, it needs to adequately explain why it won’t extend this to trans conversion therapy. It also needs to ensure trans people’s health and wellbeing is improved while also doing a hell of a lot more to support women who still suffer in a sexist society. Social media companies, which profit from the engagement generated by every argument and trolling session, see those showing nuance and tolerance silenced in favour of unbridled mud-slinging and pile-ons. Rather than just popping a flag into marketing material for four weeks and watching the fight commence, Big Tech could do well to apply its smarts to calming what has become a festering pit.
Because really, what’s the purpose of a flag made for and by people, when those waving it with the most gusto are often corporations that are willing to treat a hefty branch of human rights as little more than a marketing opportunity? During a cost of living crisis that will certainly see LGBTQ+ Britons affected in unique ways – a quarter of homeless youth are LGBTQ+; LGBTQ+ people can generally expect to earn less than their straight, childless counterparts – maybe the solution is to cut out the middle-man and for LGBTQ+ people and our allies to donate what we can straight to those charities and services.
We need action, not symbols. To set society on the path to true LGBTQ+ equality, attempts at achieving it need a touch more integrity than a sloppy guac sandwich.

The round was led by Eight Roads Ventures with participation from F-Prime Capital and Together Fund.
Funds will be used to accelerate the company's mission to build the future of practice management for physical rehabilitation
DELAWARE, June 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Spry, an end-to-end patient and practice management SaaS platform for physical therapists, today announced that it has successfully completed a new round of funding to accelerate its mission to build the future of practice management for physical rehabilitation. With this new round, the company has raised over US $10 million to date. The round was led by Eight Roads Ventures, with participation from F-Prime Capital and existing investor, Together Fund.
"Our mission from day one has been to create a patient-first, tech-driven solution that anticipates patient needs before they step into the physical therapist's clinic and guides them through the duration of the treatment" said Brijraj Bhuptani, CEO & Co-founder of Spry. "With our 25 member strong team, we have been able to build a new-age, reliable and trustworthy platform to enable physical therapists to manage an omnichannel practice and improve the quality of patient care. We look forward to working with our new investors, Eight Roads Ventures and F-Prime Capital, as we accelerate our mission to be the platform of choice for physical therapists globally."
Founded in 2021 by Ola's former chief technology officer, Brijraj Bhuptani, and Riyaz Rehman, Spry aims to democratize the accessibility and affordability of movement health through its full-stack digital health platform. It enables practitioners and owners of physical therapy centers to manage their clinical and administrative functions using a single tool. The platform supports a clinic's end-to-end operations, from patient intake to scheduling, communication, assessments, electronic medical records ('EMR'), revenue cycle management, home exercise plans, adherence tracking and patient lifecycle management.
There is an increased demand for physical therapy in the United States, Spry's key target market, with more consumers striving to adopt healthy and active lifestyles, a growing aging population and favourable payer policies that are reducing the need for prior physician authorization. Physical rehabilitation services in the U.S present a $56 billion opportunity, with outpatient demand contributing a significant percentage. Many physical therapists are also setting up their own private practices, giving them increased autonomy and the ability to personalize treatment.
New regulations have incentivized practice owners to adopt EMR solutions, and the inclusion by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to allow the reimbursement of remote physical therapy sessions has driven further adoption of new age practice management SaaS solutions.
"Spry's comprehensive and omnichannel platform is a very compelling value proposition to the growing number of physical therapy practices who aspire to provide a continuum of care to their patients, in-clinic and at home. We are very excited to partner with Brijraj, Riyaz and the team as they continue on their journey to revolutionize the physical rehabilitation industry." said Dr. Prem Pavoor, Senior Partner, Head of India & Healthcare Investments at Eight Roads Ventures.
Within a large market, Spry's solution enables physical therapists to efficiently manage their offline practice and compete online with direct-to-consumer digital therapy platforms. The self-assessment portal, which is unique to the platform, leverages computer vision technology to provide patients with a comprehensive assessment of their mobility and flexibility through auto-generated scorecards. This allows physical therapists to manage their time more effectively, as they can access a patient's scorecards in the initial appointment.
"Spry has built a game-changing physical rehabilitation platform that allows providers to streamline operations and increase revenue while delivering a collaborative and seamless experience for their patients," said Carl Byers, Partner, F-Prime Capital. "F-Prime strongly supports the team at Spry and is confident in their ability to execute on its mission."
Spry has a 25 team member strong team across both India and the U.S. In the coming months, the company aims to expand its team in India and the U.S, especially across its engineering and go-to-market functions.
"It's only been a few months since we announced our partnership with Brijraj & Riyaz, but in these few months, we have been thrilled to see Spry scale from being a grand vision to disrupting how movement health is delivered and now being live across multiple clinics in the U.S. Spry's product has inspired us to double down on our partnership, a product that not only provides immaculate value to physical therapists globally but is also truly loved by every stakeholder in the value chain." Manav Garg, Founder of Together Fund.
About Spry
Spry is a purpose built platform for the physical rehabilitation industry. It helps therapists streamline care delivery, increase patient inflow and reduce administrative costs while also helping patients improve outcomes by making it easy to understand and follow care plans. Spry has been able to achieve this by using physical rehabilitation specific workflows, advanced computer vision technology and new age product design paradigms.

The heartbroken family of a mother and her five-year-old son found stabbed to death in their North London home yesterday (June 21) have visited the scene this morning, leaving toys and praying for their loved ones.
Police were called to an address in Barnet on Brookside South at 1.45pm yesterday (Tuesday, June 21) where the boy and his mum were found suffering from stab wounds. Despite the efforts of paramedics they could not be saved and were pronounced dead at the scene.
Arriving at the scene today the family of the victims were understandably heartbroken and sobbing as they lay candles, a vase of flowers and toys at the scene including an action figure, several toy dumper trucks, and a chocolate Hogwarts castle from Harry Potter. Speaking to MyLondon through their tears one family member said: "He was a child, only five. He loved Harry Potter and toy cars."
They also left a cardboard sign with the toys which read: "There is no evil and suffering in heaven! Rest in peace! Thank you for the happiness. You will be remembered."
An investigation has been launched by police following the deaths, led by detectives from the Met's Specialist Crime Command, and a 37-year-old man who was known to the victims has been arrested on suspicion of murder.
Chief superintendent Sara Leach, policing commander for the North West including Barnet, said: "The whole community will be shocked and saddened to hear of this terrible incident. Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the woman and child who have died and also with the officers and paramedics who were first to arrive at what was an incredibly challenging scene.
"Specialist detectives are working to establish what took place and a man is in custody. While they are keeping an open mind as to what has taken place, I would like to reassure residents in the local area that there is nothing to indicate, at this stage, that anyone else was involved in this incident.
"I would urge anyone who saw or heard anything unusual earlier today, or in recent days, to come forward and speak to the police. Your information could be vital as the investigation moves forward."

YAKIMA, Wash. -- People testing positive after ten days or more is nothing to worry about, unless they're still symptomatic, said a Yakima Memorial Hospital family physician, Dr. Tanny Davenport. He said at that point; it's unclear how contagious people could be.
Even the faintest T-line on an at-home test means people still have the virus in their system. Dr. Davenport said it just depends on a person's immunity.
Dr. Davenport said if a person tests positive, it's vital to isolate at home for five days.
"You can use your symptoms from that point on to figure out when you should come out of isolation and when you should stop wearing your mask," said Dr. Davenport.
If that person is symptom-free, they can return to work while wearing a mask for the following five days. If they test positive after ten days and still have severe symptoms, Dr. Davenport recommends them to see a doctor.
Having a bad cough, spiking fever or any chills are symptoms to look out for.
People should be fever-free for at least 24 hours before taking off your face-masks around others, said Dr. Davenport. He said they should wait 20 days if they were hospitalized.
"What we don't know is with long-haulers how long they're going to have symptoms and what it can mean for them much longer down the road," said Dr. Davenport.
With only ten employees, Jean's Cottage Inn closed because too many of them were COVID-19 positive. Even after reopening in April 2022, co-owner Allan Marks said one employee after another tested positive.
"Everyone just sucked it up and worked overtime, we're only open four days a week so that helped too," said Marks.
In case of another outbreak, Marks said he has cross-trained employees to step up where needed.
"When you only have that many people, then say if two had it, then it's really bad," said Marks.
Marks said he requires all employees to stay home for ten days and test negative before returning to work.
"For an employer, the most resource you have is your employees and the best way to keep your workforce healthy is to follow the guidelines," said Dr. Davenport.
Dr. Davenport said COVID-19 levels are steadily increasing in Yakima, however, numbers are slowing declining statewide. | https://www.nbcrightnow.com/yakima/asymptomatic-covid-19-positive-after-ten-days-returning-to-work-protocols/article_821c54bc-f1f2-11ec-a874-a3a41bcd82af.html | 2022-06-22T10:15:19Z | https://www.nbcrightnow.com/yakima/asymptomatic-covid-19-positive-after-ten-days-returning-to-work-protocols/article_821c54bc-f1f2-11ec-a874-a3a41bcd82af.html | false | 1 |

Tilak K.R. Pasala, MD, FACC, FSCAI
Interim Director, Structural and Congenital Heart Center
Program Director, Structural Heart Disease Fellowship
Lucy M. Safi, DO, FACC, FASE
Director of Interventional Echocardiography
As a large referral center, many of Hackensack’s challenges lie in the evaluation of pre-procedural imaging—making sure that each patient receives the appropriate exams and that the images are of diagnostic quality so that the patient can be moved quickly and confidently into treatment.
Dr. Safi states, “As an imager, my job is to evaluate all the images and pre-procedural tests that a patient has. Having the right workup and good quality images is necessary, so the patient gets an overall accurate diagnosis.”
Dr. Safi also notes that Hackensack has observed an increase in the number of mitral valve procedures, which bring challenges in assessment and modification due to the complexity of the valve’s saddle-shaped anatomy and its tendency to calcify.
Properly sizing and evaluating the function of the valve is a time-consuming process, but Dr. Safi has found the Philips EPIQ ultrasound system to provide excellent 3D imaging, with built-in automation that provides fast, easily reproducible results that are less dependent on the operator’s level of experience. Tools such as 3D AutoMV quantify the function, key structures, and size of the mitral valve anatomy to help Dr. Safi and her team quickly and accurately assess each patient and identify the right path to treatment.
Other tools such as Cardiac TrueVue provide new ways to further visualize the mitral valve’s function and anatomy.
xPlane Doppler
Enables accurate representation and doppler quantification of the target flow without losing the correct image alignment.
MultiVue real-time alignment
Allows one-click cropping of a Live 3D image during interventional procedures, and one-click alignment of the catheter within cardiac anatomy.
EchoNavigator cardiac fusion imaging
Uses SmartFusion to fuse live TEE and live fluoroscopicimages in real time. TEE transducer position and orientation are automatically tracked in the X-ray image, allowing the echo and X-ray images to move in sync when the C-arm is repositioned.
Cardiac TrueVue Color with Glass
Appreciate the structure of cardiac anatomy and cardiac flow through real-time rendering with a movable light source that can be applied in both echo and color images. Cardiac TrueVue Glass can also enable a cast-like rendering of any 3D structure.
3D Auto LAA for LAA sizings
Acquire the LAA ostium size quickly and easily, using automation that reduces inter- or intra-user variability and increases confidence during procedures.
3D Auto MV for mitral valve quantification
Analyze the complex anatomy of the mitral valve in 3D, as well as its dynamic mechanics. Geometric measurements such as annular dimensions, leaflet, morphology and coaptation descriptions can be used from the initial discovery of MV disease or pathology, to support device planning, and through monitoring of pre- and postoperative cases.
Once a patient is diagnosed and moved into treatment, a new set of challenges arise related to ensuring the room is set up correctly and the clinical team has access to the tools and information they need for a successful procedure.
During the procedure, the interventionalist and imager must work together seamlessly to navigate and deploy the device at the right location. This process relies on the imager using ultrasound to move back and forth between multiple imaging modes—and between 2D and 3D images—to accurately determine device placement.
Both Dr. Pasala and Dr. Safi have seen the value of EPIQ’s multiplanar reconstruction in driving both confidence and efficiency during the procedure.
“If we are able to see the device well on the image, it gives the operators a feeling of confidence and safety,” says Dr. Pasala.
After a device is placed, clinical teams requirehigh-quality imaging and efficient workflows to assess the completeness of treatment and document results. Tools like TrueVue and GlassVue help the echocardiographer visualize any residual leakage and confirm that functional results are as expected.
Dr. Safi states, “TrueVue is very helpful in patients with prosthetic valve replacements. When we use TrueVue, we’re able to move the light source and really take a fulllook at the prosthesis. If the patient has a perivalvular leak, we can really see where that leak is by moving thelight source.“
Cardiac TrueVue Glass is really helpful for multiple things. When we’re doing Mitra Clip procedures or assessing amitral valve, we’re able to change the density of the tissueto see exactly where the regurgitation is coming from. It saves so much time. When doing LAAO devices, we can make tissue translucent to see the ostium of the left atrial appendage very clearly.”

BRUSSELS - Georgia needs to meet certain conditions before it can be granted the status of European Union membership candidate, the European Commission said on Friday.
"It should be granted candidate status once a number of priorities have been addressed," the Commission said in a statement.
"To succeed, the country must now come together politically, to design a clear path towards structural reform and the European Union - a path that concretely sets out the necessary reforms, brings on board civil society, and benefits from broad political support," the president of the bloc's executive, Ursula von der Leyen, told a news conference.

Cambodia, a people raised from the ashes, calls for nation-building to save the one place we call home
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia, June 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - In the face of armed conflicts the world over, the Prime Minister of Cambodia, Samdech Hun Sen, speaks on behalf of a nation that has risen from the ashes of unspeakable strife: "Cambodia weeps for the multitudes who are suffering. We cannot choose war to end war. We must remain steadfast in our efforts to grow and to strive for a better future."
"A better future dwells in a healthy environment. Climate change is at the heart of the only battle that must be fought and won" says Say Samal, Minister of the Environment for Cambodia. Nation-building and the fight against global warming are arduous tasks and they must advance in tandem. "Cambodia has tilled a soil darkened with the blood of countless innocents to become an economic flag bearer in Southeast Asia. In peace we have found prosperity and in prosperity we have found the resolve to tackle climate change, the one foe that threatens us all."
Cambodia reached "lower middle-income" status in 2015 and in spite of slowdowns brought about by the pandemic, the nation is on track to reach "middle-income" status in the coming decade. Average annual growth exceeded 7 percent between 1998 and 2019 and as economic recovery from the pandemic gets underway, Cambodia expects to soon regain its status as one of the more rapidly growing economies on the planet. The World Bank notes that "Cambodia has made considerable strides in improving maternal and child health, early childhood development, and primary education in rural areas." These strides are built on peace and on sound economic planning – the foundations of sustainable growth.
The pandemic has reminded us of the need to be more resilient, and how increasingly fragile our environment is to become without stewardship. The global health challenge is immense, and it will continue to affect growth for some time, but few have been heard to say that it is insurmountable. "A vibrant and sustainable economy is the cornerstone upon which we will continue to build and to strive for a healthy environment" says Minister Samal. "More than 70 percent of main household earners in Cambodia have weathered the storm and have remained employed. This number will rise as we recover and as we pursue the nation-building that will contribute to our efforts to save the one place we call home."
Cambodia has pledged to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 42 percent of business-as-usual levels by 2030, and to work to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. "A concerted campaign against the ravages of climate change has the potential to increase Cambodia's GDP by nearly 3 percent annually and to create nearly half a million green jobs by the middle of the century" says Minister Samal. "Climate change is not an imaginary enemy. This is the one fight that must and will bring us together."

With the 2022 Glastonbury Festival opening to music fans today, rumours are already swirling as to which famous faces could be making a surprise appearance at the long-awaited return of the live music event. The latest name to be mentioned is American actor Johnny Depp, who was last seen on stage at Glastonbury in 2017.
Over the past 50 years, the festival has seen some of the world's biggest stars arrive to perform on the iconic Worthy Farm stages - some of which have been unannounced. In the past, Lady Gaga has played the Shangri-La stage whilst the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet has appeared on the Pyramid Stage, along with surprise sets from The Killers, Foals and Bastille, Somerset Live reports.
Already this year, there have been rumours Sir Elton John could be amongst those make a surprise appearance, as the star is currently playing dates in the UK as part of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour. Pop icon Harry Styles' has also been mentioned, as has George Ezra and Chemical Brothers.

But another rumour is that Pirates of the Caribbean actor Johnny Depp could be making his return to Glastonbury. The 59-year-old, whose defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard concluded earlier this month, has recently announced he would be releasing a new album with legendary guitarist Jeff Beck.
It is said to drop on July 15 and will feature 13 tracks, two of which are original songs. The announcement of new music from the Edward Scissorhands star has left many wondering whether he could be making an unannounced appearance at the five-day Glastonbury Festival which starts today, June 22.
His latest cover with Beck is The Velvet Underground's 'Venus In Furs' and released just a few days ago. Johnny has recently been spotted at a number of dates on Jeff Beck's UK tour and whilst the European leg of the tour continues on June 24, there is a gap in the dates on June 26, so there is a possibility either or even both of the stars could make an unexpected arrival.

‘What have I just witnessed?’ – Jockey banned after unbelievable ride on 50-1 winner who was given ‘uncontested lead’
THIS is the incredible race which saw a 50-1 winner romp home after being given an 'uncontested lead' - only for the jockey to then be banned.
Punters could not believe what they were seeing as rank outsider Calculus went from last to leading by miles at Beverley.
Apprentice jockey Kieran Schofield looked to be struggling to contain the keen five-year-old in the early stages.
So, racing out wide, he decided to let the gelding go.
And go he did, absolutely taking off and establishing a 20-length lead in the 1m4f race.
It looked for all the world like he had used up all his energy and would come back to the chasing pack.
But Calculus kept finding more and more, beating off the fast-finishing Termonator to record his first ever win in his 17th race.
An outcome like this always sparks punter chatter, mostly centred around how the other jockeys could let the leader go so far in front.

And stewards did interview the eight other jockeys to find out their intentions during the race.
The British Horseracing Authority report noted Calculus 'had been allowed to establish a sizeable uncontested lead from approximately one mile out'.
They also dished out a two-day ban to the winning jockey after he was found to have used his whip too much in the final three furlongs.
One punter watching the race said: "Fair play to the winner, but how often does this happen when one flies off in front, and the same jockeys don’t learn the same lesson?"
Another commented: "Too many jockeys seem to be sitting back these days and not taking the ride from the front - just goes to show great decision-making pays off."
While one Twitter post said: "What have I just witnessed at Beverley? Calculus goes miles clear and somehow manages to hold on at the finish! Remarkable."
Indeed, the stewards' report read: "All riders were of the opinion that when CALCULUS (IRE) took up the running the gelding appeared to be running freely at a pace which they felt was unsustainable, believing that CALCULUS (IRE) would weaken and come back to them in a latter stage of the race."
There was nothing but joy for Sara Ender though, trainer of this son of Frankel.
She said: "That was completely unexpected. He's always been the same at home, he's lazy, never works very well and the run was going to be his last run before retirement – it won't be now!"
This race was reminiscent of The Steward's mindblowing win at Newcastle last year.
Charlotte Jones was given a similarly massive lead on the front-runner, winning in a fashion that stunned former Love Island star Chris Hughes.

The ALPS Alerian MLP ETF (NYSEARCA:AMLP) is an exchange traded fund focused on investing in MLPs across the United States. The fund distributes strong quarterly dividends from infrastructure investments such as midstream pipelines. The fund offers strengths which are overshadowed by weakness in the underlying market.
It is impossible to tackle a fund like AMLP without first understanding Master Limited Partnerships. Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) are publicly traded limited partnerships with shares listed on national exchanges. Most MLPs have general partners (managers) and limited partners (investors like us). The general partners manage the day-to-day operations, while the limited partners purchase shares in the MLP and provide capital for projects in return for cash distributions from the entity’s business.

MLPs primarily focus on resource-related activities, including oil and natural gas. While MLPs have historically paid higher distributions, investors must consider the complexities and the additional risks that are presented. MLPs are considered a type of pass-through entity: a business structured so that it is not subject to corporate taxation. However, the distributions to MLP shareholders are subject to income taxes. A key benefit of the partnership structure is that the income distributions are not taxed twice the way the dividends of a common stock are taxed. This model is similar to REITs, which must comparably distribute 90% of taxable income to shareholders in order to remain exempt from corporate level income taxes.
One of the primary downsides of MLPs are the complex tax structures of the investment vehicle. Generally, investors receive a schedule K-1 directly from the entity which can result in complex tax considerations. Without diving into too much detail, K-1s can be problematic for a variety of reasons, but ultimately boil down to a headache around tax season.
The best part about AMLP is that the exchange traded fund wrapper eliminates the distribution of K-1s to shareholders. Instead, the fund is covered under a traditional 1099-DIV simplifying the investment in MLPs substantially.
Let’s dive into AMLP and see if this fund is worth a look.
The fund seeks to track the Alerian MLP Infrastructure Index, a proprietary index of MLP investments which if capitalization weighted. The index is highly concentrated, comprised of just 16 total investments. As expected with a cap weighted strategy, this leaves the fund very top heavy with the top ten holdings accounting for 82% of total assets. The fund is large with over $5 billion in assets under management. It’s additionally worth noting that the fund offers options as well.
Source: AMLP
Sector weightings are well diversified with Pipeline Transportation of Petroleum accounting for the largest portion at nearly half of the index/portfolio. The remaining portions are spread between Gathering & Processing and Pipeline Transportation of Natural Gas. A small portion is allocated to Liquefaction, representing less than 5% of the portfolio.
Source: AMLP
The fund is liquid with adequate daily volume for both retail and institutional shareholders looking to gain broad access to infrastructure. Share volumes are generally over a million shares per day.
Management fees are high for an indexed ETF such as AMLP. While most ETFs boast slim fees which appear to know no bottom, AMLP commands a total expense ratio of 0.90%. A 5bps portion of this is allocated to tax related expenses, leaving a net expense ratio of 0.85% per year. While these expenses are undoubtedly high, the lack of K-1 may make those expenses well worth it for investors who must have MLPs in their portfolios.
AMLP offers a convenient, scalable solution to investors looking to access Master Limited Partnerships. The fund lacks large scale competition and remains one of the best options for achieving an indexed approach to a complex market.
AMLP is generally attractive to investors on the basis of its dividend yield. The fund offers a current yield of 8.66% based on current share prices, substantially above other income producing assets such as equities and fixed income.
The dividend accounts for all of AMLP’s total return for most time horizons. This is not surprising given the income oriented model of the MLP structure. However, having said that, it’s crucial to acknowledge that MLPs have experienced a tremendous five year drawdown resulting in lackluster performance for AMLP.
Source: AMLP
With negative returns posted over 3-, 5-, and 10-year time horizons, AMLP has been a dog of the market for a long period. Weakness in commodity prices and a shifting climate landscape has hampered the performance of hard asset classes which support the commodities market. AMLP has suffered tremendously as share prices have been battered since 2016.
In summary, the fund has played out as a major yield trap for shareholders seeking outsized yield from their portfolio. While the fund has performed well bouncing back from COVID, current share prices are back on the trajectory of the fund’s decline which began more than five years ago. Having considered the past performance, let’s analyze the fund’s outlook
As we mentioned, AMLP’s performance is inexorably tied to the performance of underlying commodities such as petroleum and natural gas. The fund displays a correlation to underlying commodity prices such as Brent Crude Oil.
I want to reiterate that this comes as no surprise given what flows through the pipelines owned by MLP assets across the country. However, AMLP displays another useful correlation that may be more helpful to shareholders than trying to predict future movements in oil prices. AMLP is closely correlated to activity in drilling of oil and gas wells.
Again, this should come as no surprise, but we also have a degree of foresight into drilling activity. For example, the Biden Administration recently reopened oil and gas leasing in the Gulf of Mexico. While the decision is a harsh reversal from campaign promises to completely ban new oil and gas leasing on public lands, the opening of nearly 80 million acres to auction could act as a short term tailwind for AMLP and its holdings. The decision is complicated with strong legal motivations that date back to the Trump Administration but will define a portion of energy policy for years to come. The move is odd considering the widespread support for renewable energy solutions, but maybe unsurprising given the government’s long term support of the energy industry.
Source: EIA
Despite the halt caused by the pandemic, production is back on track, but still behind pre-pandemic levels. U.S. monthly crude production remains around 2018 levels with a slower growth forecast projected. AMLP’s poor performance despite strong annual production gains since 2016 is problematic for the long term outlook of the fund.
Going further, shareholders should consider the broader changing landscape of energy. MLPs focus primarily on infrastructure investments which produce and move hydrocarbon based energy including oil and gas. Looking far into the future, it seems unlikely that the world will remain dependent on fossil fuels. While this change may materialize slower than many are forecasting, it feels like a march to an inevitable future that is free of fossil fuels.
As we mentioned, AMLP produces an impressive dividend yield based on the income producing nature of MLPs. The fund’s yield in a world of rock bottom interest rates has brought attention to AMLP and similar funds. Having examined both the strengths and weaknesses of AMLP, some investors may be curious as to other options of generating similar yield. These alternatives are both outside of the fossil fuel and commodity realms but offer comparable dividend income for investors.
For investors looking to maintain a focus on infrastructure, venturing away from strictly MLPs provides options for stronger long term performance. The Cohen & Steers Infrastructure Fund is a closed end fund managed by Cohen & Steers with a concerted infrastructure focus. UTF is large with over $2.5 billion in managed assets. Launched in 2004, the fund employs leverage and invests across industries including MLPs, energy, and cell towers. UTF’s portfolio is comprised of best-in-class utilities, infrastructure, and real estate companies across widely diversified industries and geography.
UTF’s primary objective is total return driven by high current income, according to Cohen & Steers. UTF pays a level monthly dividend of $0.155 which has remained unchanged since an increase in 2017. The dividend has not been cut since 2009 and has displayed strength despite deviation in commodity prices and other market dynamics. UTF offers shareholders a current yield of 6.69% based on today’s share prices.
Ares Capital Corporation is the largest business development company by market cap at $9.48 billion. BDC’s lend to middle market businesses which are generally too small to access the capital markets. Many of these businesses are quite strong and represent a large portion of the American economy. Furthermore, Ares is possibly the most experienced manager in the segment with an impressive portfolio of solid clients. ARCC has operated since its IPO in 2001 generating impressive shareholder returns along the way. ARCC is a best in class BDC with an enormous balance sheet that continues to strengthen with time. ARCC has dramatically outperformed AMLP while offering a comparable yield to shareholders along the way.
ARCC offers a current yield of 7.71% and has a history of special dividends to supplement the current distribution. It is worth noting, the firm cut the distribution in 2009, but maintained through 2020. Additionally, ARCC has delivered several modest increases to the dividend over the past ten years including one recently. ARCC’s dividend has proven far more reliable than AMLP’s fueling a large part of its long term outperformance.
ARCC has an investment grade credit rating and strong balance sheet, reinforcing the fund’s ability to access deployable capital. The firm’s limited equity exposure has provided share price appreciation in the long term as well. ARCC is externally managed, which we dislike on account of shareholder conflicts of interest and high management fees. That said, the fund’s long term performance and position as a flagship investment for Ares provides a layer of confidence. Simply put, ARCC is a true blue chip BDC.
AMLP provides investors an opportunity to access complex infrastructure investments with a scalable, transparent, and tax efficient package. The fund has operated continuously for over a decade, providing shareholders with return in the form of a strong quarterly distribution. While the fund has many advantages, performance has largely been hampered by weakness in underlying assets such as oil prices. Going further, the fund’s outlook is troubled as the world inevitably moves away from fossil fuel investments in favor of a greener future. We rarely assign bearish ratings, preferring to focus on positive opportunity. However, AMLP has continuously been an underperformance investment despite a fundamentally sound market, earning a rare thumbs down from us.

This story was co-published with The Salt Lake Tribune.
Utah policymakers billed the 2022 legislative session as the “year of water.” Gov. Spencer Cox signed into law more than 15 measures related to water conservation, heralding “generational” progress as the West’s megadrought continues well into its third decade.
Those pieces of legislation allow farmers to earn money by sending their water downstream to shrinking lakes, require water meters for landscaping, appropriate $40 million to protect the Great Salt Lake and more. But perhaps more telling were proposals that lawmakers carved up or voted down.
Legislators in the country’s fastest-growing and second-driest state rejected a bill meant to address leaky pipes. New laws aimed at mandating low-flow plumbing both in state facilities and new homes had to be scaled back to win passage. And regulations on Utah’s lush green lawns remained largely off-limits, as interest groups stalled or rewrote bills targeting grass.
A ProPublica investigation last year found that Utah’s water policy was largely controlled by a group of water districts and allied special interest organizations and politicians who prioritized building new water projects over conservation.
ProPublica reviewed water-related proposals again following this year’s legislative session, including minutes from committee meetings, lawmaker testimony and internal communications obtained via public records requests. The analysis showed the Legislature remains hesitant to act quickly on water conservation or on a scale that fully reflects the region’s dire situation, in part due to the influence of a rotating cast of special interest groups.
With little new water to tap, Utah is running out of time to reduce the amount that residents use on a daily basis. The Bureau of Reclamation announced in mid-June that Colorado River Basin states might have to cut water use by as much as a quarter next year, compared with average consumption.
“Is it the year of water?” asked Zach Frankel, executive director of environmental advocacy group Utah Rivers Council. “The answer is, ‘Hell no.’”
The Grass Is Always Greener
The water conservation debate in Utah and around the West often focuses on residential use because taking water from farmers and appearing unfriendly to the agriculture industry remains a political third rail. In Utah, outdoor landscaping accounts for about two-thirds of residential water consumption, and a growing consensus around the region sees tearing out lawns as a key strategy to alleviate the strain on the overdrawn Colorado River.
At least five members of the Utah House of Representatives began the session intending to address the grass question. Two bills passed. One gave the Utah Division of Water Resources approval to spend up to $5 million annually on turf removal incentives, but the bill didn’t appropriate money to do it; the other prohibited municipalities from banning water-efficient landscaping or mandating grass on park strips, the narrow bands between the sidewalk and the street. Towns have grabbed headlines for threatening to fine residents who replaced lawns with water-saving alternatives.
Utah remains behind other Western states on removing grass.
California banned irrigating ornamental turf, such as landscaping on a highway median. In Colorado, lawmakers passed a bill to create a turf removal system. And Nevada, leading the fight against grass, passed a law in 2021 banning the roughly 40% of turf in the Las Vegas metro area that sees little public use. The Southern Nevada Water Authority, the area’s water wholesaler, has also increased the amount it pays property owners to remove turf from $0.40 per square foot in 1999 to $3 in 2018, and it spent nearly $269 million since 1999 to replace nearly 205 million square feet of grass with less water-intense landscaping.
The largest water district in Utah, the Central Utah Water Conservancy District, pays up to $1.25 per square foot at residential properties and $2 at commercial facilities and has ripped out about 233,000 square feet in recent years. The district’s proposed budget for fiscal year 2023 includes $1.6 million for turf removal. In southwestern Utah, the Washington County Water Conservancy District and the towns it serves are removing nearly 600,000 square feet of grass, and local municipalities are working on ordinances to ban or cap the amount of turf allowed on certain properties.
“We recognize in Utah in a lot of ways we’re behind what Colorado and some of our neighboring states have done, and we as a state are focused,” said Rep. Gay Lynn Bennion, a Democrat who worked on turf legislation this session.
But internal communications suggest Utah is stymied by politicking, with groups such as the Utah League of Cities and Towns, which lobbies on behalf of municipalities, fighting against aggressive policy.
Rep. Raymond Ward, a Republican, proposed a bill to prohibit municipalities from requiring grass lawns. In January, he told ProPublica his idea ran into early opposition from the league, “who I knew would be the chief opponent because it impinges on what they think is their birthright, which is zoning,” he said.
Ward tweaked his proposal to assure the league that the bill wouldn’t get in the way of municipalities’ beautification ordinances. The group toned down its opposition, Ward said, but lobbyists from homeowners associations continued to attack and the bill failed.
A similar turf law did pass — one endorsed by lobbyists from municipalities and water districts — that Ward described as a “watered down version” of his bill.
Sponsored by Republican Rep. Ryan Wilcox, that bill would’ve prohibited municipalities from requiring that grass cover more than 35% of a property’s irrigated area.
On the same day the House unanimously passed the bill, Justin Lee, the Utah League of Cities and Towns’ director of government relations and a registered lobbyist, emailed Wilcox: “With a few tweaks we think there is potential to get our members more excited about this bill.” Meanwhile, the Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District’s general manager, assistant general manager and general counsel were drafting substitute language.
Wilcox met with Lee, the water district and several towns, and later that week he sent Lee a proposed bill substitute. “Please Review,” Wilcox wrote. Lee responded to the legislator, “This is exactly what we were looking for.” Wilcox introduced the substitute, and Lee showed up to support the bill, which had been changed to keep most decision-making on landscaping with local municipalities.
In an interview, Lee said that the league isn’t opposed to all grass-related legislation and that limiting irrigated turf could be considered at some point. The group’s main concern this year was preserving municipalities’ authority to write local rules, such as beautification ordinances, he said.
Bart Forsyth, Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District’s general manager, said he wanted to ensure Wilcox’s bill wouldn’t get in the way of cities that were already implementing water efficiency standards. His district got involved, Forsyth said, because other groups were opposed and “for the bill to pass, some changes would likely be needed.”
Wilcox declined to comment.
The Utah League of Cities and Towns has opposed turf bills for years. In 2016, then-Sen. Scott Jenkins, a Republican who was upset that a local ordinance compelled him to plant a lawn around his plumbing wholesale warehouse in Orem, filed a bill to curb such mandates. Jenkins told ProPublica that the league doomed the bill.
“Considering the fact that we’re hurting for water right now, especially in Utah and in the West, that’s just so dumb to do,” Jenkins said. “They ask us to not turn our faucets on or shut them off when we’re brushing our teeth, but they’re just flat out wasting water here.”
The league’s position statement on that year’s legislation noted that Jenkins did not first run the bill past a group consisting of the league and others representing towns, real estate and development interests. The bill died on the Senate floor.
“People are realizing we need to do things differently,” Lee said. “I think some of the pushback you saw in previous years is just not going to be as big going forward.”
Pulling Punches in the Legislature
With less pushback from special interests, Utah’s Legislature had, for it, a banner year on water. Still, bill sponsors were quick to defang water conservation legislation to get it passed.
Republican Rep. Robert Spendlove wrote HB121 to push water-saving measures at state-owned properties. His bill capped how much turf could be planted at new government facilities and called for state agencies to reduce their water use 25% by 2026. But a fiscal note claimed it would cost nearly $215 million to install efficient toilets and faucets, and Spendlove amended the bill to only apply to outdoor water savings.
Spendlove didn’t respond to requests for comment.
There was also a bipartisan push to update plumbing and building codes to require more efficient toilets, showerheads, bathroom sinks and urinals. In a presentation, Democratic Sen. Jani Iwamoto and Forsyth argued that more efficient plumbing fixtures could save 4.5 billion gallons annually by 2030. Much of the bill’s substance eventually passed, but sponsors still had to remove toilets from it in an act of appeasement to a fellow legislator.
“In the Legislature, sometimes it can stop for just one person. Their plumber may have said something,” Iwamoto said, declining to name which lawmaker flushed the key provision because of unsubstantiated fears of clogged toilets. Former President Donald Trump railed against low-flow plumbing fixtures when he was in office.
Even one of the signature bills in Utah’s year of water — requiring meters on secondary water systems that allow unlimited use of untreated water outdoors — was a target. Since 2018, lawmakers had tried and failed to mandate meters statewide, which data found reduced water use by an average of 23% simply because residents saw how much water they used. But emails showed that the Utah League of Cities and Towns and some individual municipalities continued fighting it this session.
The bill passed after legislators gave cities until 2030 to install meters, exempted small counties and provided money to cover as much as 70% of the cost. Not mentioned in various news releases heralding Utah’s commitment to conservation: That money came from the American Rescue Plan Act, the federal COVID-19 stimulus package signed by President Joe Biden.
Lee said a small number of municipalities were worried about secondary meters, and paying for them assuaged those concerns.
But even when state power brokers throw support behind water conservation, it’s sometimes not enough to get through the Legislature.
Rep. Melissa Ballard, a Republican, made a third attempt to require providers to study how much water their pipes and other infrastructure lose, often from leaks, and she presented HB115 with the support of both the Utah Department of Natural Resources and the state’s largest water districts. The bill failed anyway.
Asked what happened, Ballard told ProPublica in an email: “I wish I had an answer for you. Some legislators and water districts didn’t even look at the bill.” The Legislature sent HB115 back to the clerk of the House to be filed with bills that didn’t pass.
The general session ended in March. In April, with all of Utah in a drought, Cox declared a state of emergency. The governor acknowledged the executive order was largely for public awareness and let it lapse a month later. | https://www.propublica.org/article/utah-officials-called-it-the-year-of-water-special-interests-still-resist-conservation | 2022-06-22T10:31:01Z | https://www.propublica.org/article/utah-officials-called-it-the-year-of-water-special-interests-still-resist-conservation | false | 1 |
Q:My younger brother and his wife of 11 years split up four years ago. We stayed close to his two sons. They live weekdays and every other weekend nearby with their mother, whom we always liked.
My brother also brought them to see our daughter and son who are close in age to their cousins (all adolescents and good kids).
My brother met and married a younger woman after a whirlwind romance ... he’s now 40, she’s 27. She had their first child — a girl — a couple of months ago. We received the birth announcement, but no invitation to visit them and their baby, though the home they bought is only an hour’s drive away.
My wife sent flowers to welcome the baby and called our new sister-in-law to ask for a good day/time to visit. She burst into tears and handed the phone to my brother who immediately lectured me about “not giving a new mother a chance to breathe.”
I was stunned, but my wife heard me say we weren’t wanting to intrude. She then said we’re happy for them, congratulate them, and know the baby’s stepsiblings and cousins will be thrilled.
That’s when the new mom started crying again. And when my brother said “You’re an idiot. Leave my wife alone!”
I can’t get over it. My wife says the new mother may’ve gone through a difficult delivery, could be feeling overwhelmed by everything suddenly required from her, etc.
OK, I can understand that, but not my brother’s anger. We hadn’t just shown up! I texted him, asking what’s really going on — but no reply. How do my wife and I deal with this rejection?
Sudden Family Rift
A:It’s clear that you value your relationship with your brother and wanted to show your family’s happiness for him and his wife.
But the more important relationship requiring attention is that of mother and newborn.
According to the Mayo Clinic website, most new moms experience postpartum “baby blues” after childbirth (commonly including mood swings, crying spells, anxiety and difficulty sleeping). It can happen within the first two to three days after delivery, and may last for up to two weeks.
But some new moms experience a more severe, long-lasting form of depression known as postpartum depression. Rarely, an extreme mood disorder called postpartum psychosis also may develop.
The website advises women directly: “Postpartum depression isn’t a character flaw or a weakness. Sometimes it’s simply a complication of giving birth. If you have postpartum depression, prompt treatment can help you manage your symptoms and help you bond with your baby.” Text your brother again, saying that you’re wishing everyone in his family well.
Reader’s Commentary Regarding the “Complicated Friend” (June 3):
“Author Gary Chapman has the best books on relationships and love languages, even including one directed to teens. They are spot on and so helpful.
“The information would go deeper for the reader and give her helpful suggestions to manoeuvre forward with this sometimes difficult situation. It may be something she can research.”
Reader No. 2: Regarding advice from the other friends of the letter-writer:
“She says ‘(They) tell me to develop a stronger relationship with her one-on-one.’ But, as a reader, I think it’s time to do a serious pro-con (cost-benefit) evaluation and analysis of this friendship group.
“Maybe start with some slight separation/distancing from the difficult person. Your slight separation may generate constructive discussion.
“Or, it’ll confirm that this ‘friendship group’ isn’t for you.”
Ellie’s tip of the day
All relationships can have weak spots. When a sibling’s involved, emotions can go deep.

Backyards are the centerpiece of attraction now that the Fourth of July is rapidly approaching. It's a time for fun, merry-making, and enjoyment with your dear ones, and your backyard will serve as the host for a sumptuous dinner and oodles of laughter on this Independence Day.
You need to present the best ambiance possible for your guests, and hence, sprucing up your backyard is a fine way to do it. Without further ado, let's take a peek at a few ways in which you can smarten up your backyard for a memorable get-together.
1. Installing a deck
Having a backyard deck or a patio is the first essential step to undertake since it's crucial to define the area where you'll have your guests seated for the get-together. Furthermore, you can add more items to your backyard deck to beautify it.
Building a deck might take a few days, so it's best to get started with building one as soon as possible if you don't have it already in the backyard. Before starting the process, you'll need to have an accurate estimate of how big the deck needs to be so it perfectly fits in with the backyard.
2. Installing a fire pit
Having a fire pit all but elevates the fun and frolic you'd rather have without it. If you've already experienced the thrill of gathering around a fire pit, you'd know how much fun it is to have fire as you chatter, gossip, and laugh all through the get-together.
Apart from being used as a traditional campfire, a fire pit also serves well in whipping up a barbeque and acts as the major source of light in the evenings. Buying a fire pit is a matter of size and budget, so make sure you get one that best fits your requirement.
3. Hanging string lights
When you think of festivities, it's nigh impossible to imagine them without a bunch of string lights. Also known as decorative lights, they are a cheap option but work massively when it comes to ramp up the ambiance to host a memorable get-together with your close ones.
String lights are available in many shapes and colors; some may use a power source while others are dependent on batteries. If you don't have a power source nearby, we'd recommend going for battery string lights to make sure they last throughout the entire party.
4. Adding built-in planters
Built-in planters play a major role in elevating your outdoor decor to the next level. If you've built a deck, adding planters will beautify it more, contributing to a happier mood for the get-together. You can either buy a readymade planter or build one yourself; the choice is yours depending on how much time, energy, and budget you can invest in adding them to your backyard.
5. Using accent lights
Let's face it, your party mood is directly proportional to the amount and type of lighting in the party area. The type of lighting can make or break the mood of a party. If you've already got the string lights, you can consider adding accent lights in dark corners to add a touch of elegance to your backyard.
Apart from adding to the ambiance, it'll also keep the intruders away by providing more light to the backyard. Make sure you chalk out an optimal budget and a specified number of lights before adding them to your backyard.
6. Adding a backyard fountain
Backyard fountains are artistic items that can add glamour and hold an irresistible charm, especially in an area decorated with string lights. Built for the major purpose of garnishing a backyard, these fountains can cost a fortune.
So, you'll need to chalk out a budget to add one of these to your backyard. Fountains are available in many sizes and styles; there's no scarcity of choices to help you get the perfect fountain that suits your backyard.
7. Installing water gardens
Water gardens serve as a relaxing focal point for many homes. Some of these are also equipped with LED lights that work wonders when it comes to embellishing the area they're kept in. What's more, there are endless options to create designs by adding a variety of plants to these water gardens.
The tranquil sound of the flowing water soothes the mind as well. Water gardens are easy to set up, so you need not worry about spending hours trying to get one installed in your backyard. Also, water gardens are available across a wide price range, so you can easily get one without breaking the bank.

More Companies Start to Rescind Job Offers
The labor market remains hot. Yet businesses in a range of industries are pulling back job offers to recruits they were courting just a short time ago
Businesses in several different industries are rescinding job offers they made just a few months ago, in a sign the tightest labor market in decades may be showing cracks.
Companies including Twitter Inc. , real-estate brokerage Redfin Corp. , and cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase Global Inc. have rescinded offers in recent weeks. Employers in other pockets of the economy are pulling away offers too, including some in insurance, retail marketing, consulting and recruiting services.
At the same time, many companies have signaled a more cautious hiring approach. Netflix Inc. , Peloton Interactive Inc. , Carvana Co. and others announced layoffs. Technology giants such as Facebook parent Meta Platforms Inc. and Uber Technologies warned they will dial back hiring plans.
The labor market remains strong overall, with an unemployment rate at 3.6%, near the half-century low it reached in early 2020.
But these signs of caution in hiring show that executives are finding it tougher to predict the next 12 months in the economy, say hiring managers and recruiters. When a company revokes a job offer, it indicates a company’s business outlook has changed so quickly it has to undo hiring plans made sometimes weeks before.
“I just couldn’t believe what I was hearing—like it’s a job I had had lined up for months and I really was counting on it,” said Franco Salinas, 24 years old, who learned this month that a data-analyst position he planned to start in July had been axed. “This just made me realize how fragile things are.”
SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS
Have you or someone you know had a job offer rescinded? Join the conversation below.
Some recruiters caution that there hasn’t been a large wave of job offers canceled. At the same time, employers still can’t find enough workers for many types of jobs.
Yet, “going from zero to a fairly small amount seems like a big increase,” said Brian Kropp, vice president of human-resources research for advisory firm Gartner.
He said having a job offer rescinded was almost unheard of six months ago. “If we’ve learned anything from the last couple of years, it’s that things can change quickly,” he said.
Mr. Salinas is one of many recent college graduates who locked in a job while he wrapped his studies. Information-technology consulting firm Turnberry Solutions in October offered him a data-analyst job based in Minneapolis. An international student from Peru, he said he had passed on other offers to accept Turnberry’s. Having landed the employer-sponsored visa required to remain in the country, he felt secure in signing a lease and making other plans.
The firm called to rescind the offer this month. A Turnberry spokeswoman confirmed two offers for data analysts had been rescinded, though the company says it is still hiring for other skill sets.
“We do not take the decision to rescind offers lightly,” the spokeswoman said, adding that the firm had paid the two consultants two months’ rent to help compensate. “We periodically need to adjust the skills we bring in given changes in demand from our clients.”
Other companies attribute canceled job offers to the knock-on effects of a tech-industry slowdown—including the firm that made Jenna Radwan an offer in May. It rescinded the offer two weeks before her June start date.
Hirect, a chat-based app focused on tech recruiting, had wowed the 21-year-old with a starting salary of $80,000, plus the promise of a minimum uncapped commission of $195,000 and the flexibility to set her own schedule. Ms. Radwan felt confident enough to turn down three other jobs and withdraw from three additional interview processes, she said.
“They gave me a strict deadline, so I was like, ‘I’m just going to go ahead and take this and go with my gut,’” she said.
As she prepped to start, the recruiter sent her an email: Hirect was pulling the offer and freezing hiring because of drastic and unforeseen changes in market conditions.
“We haven’t been immune to these recent challenges, nor the considerable belt-tightening going on throughout our industry,” a Hirect spokesman said of a recent slump in tech hiring that led the company to rescind two job offers.
Ms. Radwan is proceeding more carefully in her renewed hunt for a marketing, sales or account-management job. She plans to complete every hiring process before accepting any offer, even if it means asking for more time to decide, she said.
“I didn’t even know that this type of thing could even happen,” she said.
Other jilted job seekers say they are tackling their new searches differently, too. Raleigh Burke accepted a claims-analyst job at a Los Angeles-based insurance brokerage in May, gave notice at her old job the same day, then jetted to Hawaii for some rest. By the time she got home, her offer had evaporated without an explanation. She was surprised, she said, because she had been told she was the top candidate.
Ms. Burke, 35, had turned down an offer with another company to accept this one. “So what do I do, go with my tail between my legs and crawling back?” she said. Next time she pursues a job switch, she said she might not resign until she receives a laptop from the new company or starts its onboarding process.
For now, many hiring managers say signing up new recruits remains highly competitive. A Gartner survey of more than 350 HR executives conducted at the end of May found around 50% thought the competition for talent would increase over the next six months. Nearly two-thirds said they hadn’t made any changes to their hiring practices or HR budgets in response to economic volatility.
While startups, companies in the ad-tech industry, and those that are pre-IPO might be less stable right now, it’s still a job candidate’s market, said Keith Feinberg, senior vice president with professional staffing firm Robert Half. Still, he said he wouldn’t be surprised if job seekers evaluate some opportunities more cautiously than a few months ago.
Steven Pope, 32, was supposed to start a new job as a director of data for a retail marketing firm after Memorial Day weekend. Instead, he’s job hunting again after his start date was put on hold indefinitely. The company told him an expected round of funding had been delayed, he said.
Mr. Pope is now taking as many interviews as he can get, he said. He’s also rethinking the types of opportunities he’s willing to consider.
“I’m looking at how are these companies backed up or paid,” he says, adding that his friends in tech are starting to prioritize differently in their own searches. “I see there’s a little bit of a shift already where security is going to come before comp.”

Yellowstone park reopening after changes wrought by flood
Visitors will return to a changed landscape in Yellowstone National Park on Wednesday as it partially reopens following record floods that reshaped the park’s rivers and canyons, wiped out numerous roads and left some areas famous for their wildlife viewing inaccessible, possibly for months to come.
Park managers are raising the gates at 8 a.m. Wednesday at three of Yellowstone’s five entrances for the first time since June 13, when 10,000 visitors were ordered out after rivers across northern Wyoming and southern Montana surged over their banks following a torrent of rainfall that accelerated the spring snowmelt.
Some of the premier attractions at America’s first national park will again be viewable, including Old Faithful — the legendary geyser that shoots towering bursts of steaming water almost like clockwork more than a dozen times a day.
But the bears, wolves and bison that roam the wild Lamar Valley and the thermal features around Mammoth Hot Springs will remain out of reach. The wildlife-rich northern half of the park will be shuttered until at least early July, and key routes into the park remain severed near the Montana tourist towns of Gardiner, Red Lodge and Cooke City.
It’s unknown how many visitors will show up in the flooding’s immediate aftermath. Park managers had been bracing for throngs as the park celebrated its 150th anniversary a year after it tallied a record 4.9 million visits.
“We get a million people a month in Yellowstone in July and August,” Yellowstone Superintendent Cam Sholly said. “You can’t get a full visitation in half the park.”

To keep visitor numbers down while repairs continue, park managers will use a system that only allows cars with even-numbered last digits on their license plates to enter on even days, while vehicles with odd-numbered last numbers can come on odd days.
Groups of visitors traveling together in different cars are exempt from the license plate system as well as people with reservations at campgrounds and hotels in the park.
If traffic along the park’s 400 miles (644 kilometers) of roads becomes unmanageable, Sholly said officials will impose a reservation system to enter the park.
The reopening comes as officials in Yellowstone are still tallying the scope of the damage. Based on other national park disasters, it could take years and carry a steep price tag to rebuild. It’s an environmentally sensitive landscape with a huge underground plumbing system that feeds into the park’s geysers, hot springs and other thermal features. Construction season only runs from the spring thaw until the first snowfall, a narrow window that means some roads could receive only temporary fixes this year.
That’s turned some Montana communities into dead ends instead of being gateways to Yellowstone, a blow to their tourism-dependent economies. They’re also still struggling to clean up damage to several hundred homes and businesses that were swamped by flooding on the Yellowstone, Stillwater and Clarks Fork rivers.

In Red Lodge, one of those gateway towns cut off from the park, most businesses are open even as flood cleanup continues. The Montana Department of Transportation is beginning repairs to the road between Red Lodge and the scenic Beartooth Highway and the National Park Service is working to restore access to some areas in the northern part of the park.
“We have to remain optimistic, but we also have to remain realistic that there’s a lot of things going on and a lot of moving pieces to make it happen,” said Tim Weamer, who does marketing for the Red Lodge Chamber of Commerce.
“We're optimistic that we'll survive,” he said. “We're not going to have the summer we were hoping for.”
For others the rebound may come faster. Yellowstone tour guide Derek Draimin said he’s fully booked up Wednesday with four groups that will be headed into the park.
“I think there will be cars stacked up trying to get in, to be the first people to enter the park after the thousand-year flood,” he said.
Draimin lost about 25 tours because of the flood and says fewer visitors might come thinking that the park is badly damaged. But with most of the park expected to be accessible within weeks, Draimin said it’s also possible business could get a bump as tourists who can’t get in through the park’s northern entrances get funneled through West Yellowstone, where his company, Yellowstone Adventure Tours, is based.
“I have no idea what to expect," he said. “I could see both things happening.”

GOP lawmaker deletes tweet blasting CNN for ‘full TV set’ inside Capitol that was actually a green screen
(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.

shelter. Stay away from recent burn scars as heavy rainfall can
create dangerous debris flows.
Breezes:
* Typical westerly breezes with speeds 20-30 mph kick back up
Wednesday through the weekend. Low relative humidity may create
localized critical fire weather conditions during this time
period.

Veteran actress Neetu Kapoor is all set to make her comeback on the big screen after almost nine years with Raj Mehta's upcoming family drama Jugjugg Jeeyo. The film also stars Varun Dhawan, Kiara Advani and Anil Kapoor in pivotal roles.
Neetu Kapoor Reveals She Took Ranbir Kapoor-Alia Bhatt's Advice Before Signing Jugjugg Jeeyo
Neetu in her recent interview with NDTV, opened up on how she came aboard for Jugjugg Jeeyo. The actress shared that she wasn't in the right frame of mind when Karan Johar offered her a role in this film.
She said that even in that state of mind, she was stunned to see how well-written the film was with beautiful scenes and powerful dialogues. Neetu added that she was drawn to the script.
"I was going through a very bad state at the time. Karan and Ranbir were at home and my son said that I should start working. Karan said, "Can I come tomorrow with a script?" Just a day after that he and Raj came. The script was so good. Even in that state of mind, what I was going through, I was stunned at how well it was written. The scenes were beautiful, the dialogues were so powerful, I said I'm doing it. It was so lovely. It's the script that draws you, everybody was drawn towards the script," the Besharam actress told the portal.
On being asked if she consulted anyone after Karan Johar offered her Jugjugg Jeeyo, Neetu shared that she did take her son Ranbir Kapoor and daughter-in-law Alia Bhatt's inputs. She also said that her daughter Riddhima had no clue about this film offer as she believes whatever her mother does is the best.
"My family usually asks me. Like a second opinion, but not always. So whenever they have a doubt, they'll give me the script and I will go through it. But I did share it with both of them - Alia and Ranbir," Neetu told the news portal.
JugJugg Jeeyo marks Neetu Kapoor's first Bollywood outing after her actor-husband Rishi Kapoor's demise. The film is slated to hit the theatrical screens on June 24.

Kate Bush has explained why she still prefers the original title for her hit song, “Running Up That Hill”, in a rare interview to celebrate it achieving No 1 in the UK charts.
The track began climbing the charts after it was played on a recent episode of hit Netflix series, Stranger Things, prompting it to trend across viral videos on Tiktok.
It then made history as the song with the longest journey to No1, achieving the feat 37 years after it was originally released in 1985.
In an interview with Emma Barnett on BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour, Kate Bush said: “The thought of all these really young people hearing the song for the first time and discovering it is, well, I think it’s very special.”
“I thought that the track would get some attention. But I just never imagined that it would be anything like this. It’s so exciting. But it’s quite shocking really, isn’t it? I mean, the whole world’s gone mad.” she continued.
“It wasn’t originally called ‘Running Up That Hill’, was it?” Barnett asked.
“No, it was called ‘A Deal With God’,” Bush responded. “I think they were just worried, the record company, that it wouldn’t get played on the radio. That people would feel it was a sensitive title.”
Barnett suggested that the musician might feel “wedded” to the original song titles because “there are all your creations”.
“Well, yes and no,” Bush said. “Some of them have had very strange titles that you kind of have a working title that you quickly forget. But yeah, I think for me, this is still called ‘A Deal With God’.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Bush told Barnett that she liked the way “Running Up That Hill” was used as character Max’s favourite song: “What a lovely way for the song to be used in such a positive way…I think it’s very touching, actually.”
You can listen to Woman’s Hour on weekdays at 10am on BBC Radio 4, or on the BBC Sounds App.

GIC and B Capital Lead $150 Million Series D Funding Round, Valuing FalconX at $8 Billion
SAN FRANCISCO, June 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- FalconX, a digital assets platform for institutional investors, today announced a $150M Series D financing round, valuing the company at $8 billion. The round was led by GIC and B Capital, with participation from Thoma Bravo, Wellington Management, Adams Street Partners and Tiger Global Management. This venture round more than doubles the value of FalconX after its Series C raise in August 2021 that valued the company at $3.75 billion. FalconX has now raised $430 million+ from the world's leading investors, making it one of the most valuable crypto prime brokerages in the world.
Momentum Is Strong Throughout Recent Market Stress Tests
There has been a definitive flight to quality in both the public and private markets – with investors focused on strong, profitable and sustainable companies. In Q1 2022, FalconX had the strongest quarter of customer onboarding in the company's history, despite the volatile public and private markets. This growth is driven by demand from a diverse range of institutional market customers who are looking for a reliable execution platform in volatile crypto markets, capital efficiency to scale returns and strong risk management.
"FalconX is one of the very few crypto prime brokerages who do not take on market risk, so we're not in conflict with our clients and their trading strategies. In light of recent market conditions, this is extremely valuable to our clients who demand a reliable market infrastructure provider. This investment is a validation of our client-first focus, the health and strength of the crypto industry, and the move towards digital asset transformation," said Raghu Yarlagadda, CEO and Founder of FalconX.
FalconX At the Forefront of Digital Asset Transformation
We are in the early stages of a shift towards digital asset transformation and crypto is the first use-case. Soon, every asset will go through a transformation, leverage tokenization and become truly global. This will unlock unparalleled value in industries where 24/7 liquidity and credit did not exist previously. From the world's largest hedge funds to fintech companies, boardrooms are focused on digital asset transformation. FalconX is driving this transformation by creating the underlying infrastructure required to not just access crypto but pave the way for traditional assets such as equities to be tokenized.
"FalconX is a key liquidity provider for Apex Crypto and a key partner that contributes to best pricing," said Danny Rosenthal, CEO of Apex Crypto. "We are proud to partner with FalconX to provide strong markets for our customers, representing over 4.5 million cryptocurrency accounts, in a seamless and capital efficient manner. We look forward to our future with FalconX."
Premier Talent Is Hungry to Be Involved in the Early Stages of Crypto
While there has been a public narrative that the current hiring trend across the technology ecosystem is slowing down, FalconX's growth strategy remains unchanged. The company is currently hiring across departments. As one of the leading talent hubs in the world of crypto, the company recently announced the hiring of key executives like Suzy Walther (formerly of Carta) and Jon Kaplan (formerly of Pinterest). Because the crypto industry is well funded with more capital eager to engage, premier talent is hungry to be involved in these early stages.
"We partner with companies that will have lasting impacts on the industries and customers they serve. As a tech-first digital asset infrastructure platform, FalconX provides a holistic product offering paired with unparalleled execution that supports over 70M+ transactions on a monthly basis. They are well-positioned to lead the ongoing institutional transition to digital assets for years to come," said Rashmi Gopinath, General Partner, B Capital.
Last month, FalconX became the first CFTC-registered crypto-focused Swap Dealer and one of the first crypto-focused Primary Level Members of the International Swaps & Derivatives Association (ISDA). As a result of adhering to these regulatory and industry standards, U.S. institutions can now engage with this regulated product in a predictable and familiar way.

Prince Harry has deliberately been made a bigger problem for the monarchy than Prince Andrew.
Royal author Tina Brown tells Bloomberg that that royal family has 'ring-fenced' the shamed Duke of York in special protection after his sex scandal against Jeffrey Epstein survivor Virginia Giuffre.
While the monarchy "isn't going anywhere", a "national identity crisis" will be prevalent in Britain, especially under the circumstances of Queen's demise.
Brown explained: "Andrew issue has been ring-fenced, making Harry a bigger problem for the monarchy."
"I think what Britain sees is such turbulence and such change, that the monarchy seems more reassuring than ever," she said.
"But of course that monarchy is at a frail point - the question of 'how they will feel British?' after the Queen dies is a big one."
However, Prince Charles is said to be a 'transitional monarch' to finally pave the way for Prince William as King. | https://www.geo.tv/latest/423734-prince-andrew-ring-fenced-by-royal-to-make-harry-bigger-problem-for-monarchy | 2022-06-22T10:55:21Z | https://www.geo.tv/latest/423734-prince-andrew-ring-fenced-by-royal-to-make-harry-bigger-problem-for-monarchy | true | 1 |
Struggling to tide over the internecine crisis, the Shiv Sena on Wednesday asked all its MLAs in Maharashtra, including the rebels accompanying dissident leader Eknath Shinde, to attend a legislature party meeting in Mumbai at 5 PM or face action under the anti-defection law.
Shiv Sena chief whip Sunil Prabhu has written a letter and issued it to some Sena ministers, including the minister of state for Home Shambhuraj Desai who is currently staying with Shinde in Guwahati.
"The Shiv Sena has called for an urgent meeting today evening at 'Varsha' bungalow as there have been attempts to make the MVA government unstable. The details regarding the meeting have been shared with all the members (MLAs) on their registered e-mail address, Whatsapp and by way of SMS.
"You cannot remain absent to the meeting without providing a valid and sufficient reason. If you do not attend the meeting, it would be presumed that you have a clear intention of leaving the party. Hence, there will be action taken against you based on the provisions for preventing anti-defection," the letter said.
'Varsha' is the official residence of Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray.
A day earlier, the Sena had removed Shinde as its group leader in the Legislative Assembly.
The Shiv Sena has 55 MLAs in the Assembly.
Shinde had said he has 46 MLAs supporting him.
“I have more numbers (of Shiv Sena MLAs) than needed (to form a separate group in the Assembly without inviting the anti-defection law provisions),” he told a Marathi TV channel.
The Shiv Sena-led MVA is tottering on the brink following the rebellion by Shinde who left Mumbai on Monday night with a sizeable number of MLAs and travelled to Surat in Gujarat.
In the early hours of Wednesday, Shinde and rebel MLAs accompanying him were flown to Guwahati. | https://www.rediff.com/news/report/pushed-to-brink-by-shinde-revolt-senas-ultimatum-to-mlas/20220622.htm | 2022-06-22T10:58:31Z | https://www.rediff.com/news/report/pushed-to-brink-by-shinde-revolt-senas-ultimatum-to-mlas/20220622.htm | false | 7 |

Hours after Russia’s invasion started, Serhiy Kit was receiving phone calls from members of the Ukrainian Association for the Blind at his factory’s office in Dnipro.
Like everyone else in the country, Ukraine’s visually impaired were terrified when the invasion began. In their case, they had an 88-year-old association for visually impaired Ukrainians to fall back on.
Kit is the director of a Dnipro factory that welds parts for railway tracks and was established in 1945 by the association, one of the country’s oldest-running organisations. The factory is a non-profit, predominantly managed and staffed by visually impaired people.
Kit’s factory is one of 48 factories owned by the organisation in Ukrainian-controlled areas; a further 32 enterprises are in Russian-occupied Ukraine.
“We were the first shelter to open in Ukraine, on 25 February” said Kit. “Twenty-six of our (association) members in Kharkiv rang me and asked me to help them leave. We said they could stay in the factory.”
Kharkiv, 18 miles (30km) from the Russian border, was bombarded by Russian forces from the first day of the invasion, whereas Dnipro, in south-central Ukraine, was relatively calm. The Kharkiv members drove with their families to Dnipro.
“We rang around and found mattresses for them and cleared out one of our offices,” said Kit. “But then the calls kept coming. We’d never done anything like this before, but we couldn’t just stop.”
The factory shelters about 90 people who have fled shelling. Many more have passed through on their way to relatives elsewhere in Ukraine. Their former offices and the basement are crammed with beds and bags of people’s belongings stacked nearby.
Though Kit initially sought to accommodate visually impaired people, they have given beds to neighbours and relatives of the association’s members, people with other disabilities, and displaced people who arrived in Dnipro with nowhere else to go.
Anatoliy Savelevych, a 71-year-old blind man from Sloviansk, an eastern Ukrainian city near the frontline, said he left because he could not stand the sound of artillery. He was evacuated by volunteers but left his wife behind after she refused to leave.
“I am still young enough to get remarried,” said Savelevych, with a laugh. “I didn’t see why we should be tormented any more but she wanted to stay.”
He arrived at the factory in pain, the enduring consequences of a heart attack he experienced last month. He said he had not eaten in 24 hours. The other, non-visually impaired residents in his dorm give him tea and biscuits.
The director’s son, Andriy Kit, who is a manager at the factory as well as a standup comedian, went out to buy Savelevych some medicine. He refused to take Savelevych’s money.
Other visually impaired people have come with their relatives as well as with children.
“For blind people, the thing they worry most about is their children because they cannot see the danger,” said Andriy.
Andriy, who is not visually impaired, grew up with a blind father and a visually impaired mother in communal housing for visually impaired people – the norm during the Soviet era.
“The Soviets ghettoised visually impaired people and kept them apart from the rest of society,” said Andriy. “There was even a city outside Moscow called Blind City.”
The factory paused production when the war started but its workers, said Andriy, used to make their way to work themselves on the bus.
“They know the route, they sometimes come in groups but mostly by themselves,” said Andriy. “Our idea is to integrate visually impaired people with the rest of society so that people how to behave towards them and not to be afraid of them.”
Money has become tight for Andiry and his father as the factory’s reserve funds have dried up. They receive some donations from sponsors and have most food provided by local restaurants.
The city still charges them business rates, despite their registered status as a refugee centre, and the factory not functioning. In Ukraine, where an average state worker’s salary is £300 a month, the costs of maintaining so many people are immense.
“I do it because if I had to leave my home and go to another city, I hope there would be another Andriy, who is like me, that would help me,” said Andriy.
Serhiy Kit said their motto has always been to be as independent as possible and that they did not accept donations before the war. But now they are desperately looking for partners to restart the factory.
“We want to be independent and to do that we need to earn money,” said Kit. “We are looking for partnerships.”
Most of the factory’s raw material came from the now-destroyed city of Mariupol, south of Dnipro. The breakdown of logistics routes has made it extremely difficult to import goods into Ukraine, and suppliers are scared to send goods, said Kit. Even before the war, he added, they were struggling with finances as their handmade products struggled to compete with mass manufacturing.
“Our handmade parts last four years compared with the mass-made equivalents which last around six months,” said Kit. “This is the work of our team, not me or some individuals and we will not stop accommodating displaced people.” | https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jun/22/ukraine-network-visually-impaired-provides-shelter-displaced-people | 2022-06-22T11:05:23Z | https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jun/22/ukraine-network-visually-impaired-provides-shelter-displaced-people | true | 1 |
HANGZHOU, China, June 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- VenusP-Valve™, an in-house developed novel medical device of Venus Medtech (Hangzhou) Inc. (2500.HK, hereinafter referred to as "Venus Medtech"), recently completed its first compassionate use at University of Virginia Advanced Cardiac Valve Center in the U.S.
The procedure was performed at the Center by Professor Scott Lim's team under on-site guidance from Professor Yuan Feng and remote guidance from Professor Mao Chen, who are both from Cardiology Department, West China Hospital, Sichuan University in China. As the first-ever clinical application of a Chinese-developed heart valve product in the U.S., the case corroborates not only the unique clinical value of VenusP-Valve™ but also the significance of global-oriented innovation.
Although there are several transcatheter pulmonic valve replacement (TPVR) products available in the U.S. market, such as Melody™ TPV and Harmony™ TPV by Medtronic and the SAPIEN series by Edwards, they do not work for the considerable number of patients with dilated right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT). As a large-diameter product, VenusP-Valve™ can satisfy the clinical needs of 85% of patients in the case of large RVOT. In May 2022, VenusP-Valve™ was approved by the FDA for compassionate use in two patients.
This first patient was a 21-year-old man who suffered from severe pulmonary regurgitation, right ventricular dilation, pulmonary artery dilation, and left ventricular dysfunction after transannular patch (TAP) repair of Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). The procedure was performed under local anesthesia where the patient remained conscious. Upon preoperative CT, intraoperative contrast-enhanced ultrasound, and balloon measurement, a P34-25 (valve diameter 34mm, straight length 25mm) VenusP-Valve™ that precisely fit the patient's anatomy was delivered through the right femoral vein. On the first postoperative day, ultrasound scan indicated a marked decrease in right ventricle volume with no pulmonary regurgitation. Left ventricular function also returned to normal. Making a sound recovery according to postoperative assessment, the patient was discharged on June 18 (within 24 hours of the procedure) local time.
"It was a great honor to work with Professor Chen and Professor Feng on the first compassionate use of VenusP-Valve™ in the United States", commented Professor Scott Lim after the procedure. "The product was very easy to handle as it's designed to facilitate precise positioning and delivery. The patient demonstrated significant improvement after the procedure. For the benefit of more patients, I really look forward to formal clinical trials of VenusP-Valve™ here as soon as possible."
Professor Chen congratulated on the first compassionate use of VenusP-Valve™ in the U.S. As he noted, VenusP-Valve™ has gained broad recognition from the global cardiology community since its first implantation in 2013. In particular, the product is a lifesaver for patients with dilated RVOT. Its transcatheter approach reduces trauma and speeds recovery, enhancing quality of life for patients in various dimensions.
Professor Feng said "VenusP-Valve™ is an excellent TPVR product. Its unique double flared-end design enables one-time delivery of stent and valve and simplifies the procedural workflow, making it a powerful tool for transcatheter treatment of pulmonary regurgitation. It is a pride of China to launch such a self-developed innovation in the U.S."
In April 2022, VenusP-Valve™ became the first Chinese-developed self-expanding TPVR product to receive CE marking under the Medical Devices Regulation (MDR). Uniquely designed with both flared ends, the product ensures the blood flow of branchial artery with bare stents at the outflow end. It provides a stable multi-point anchoring system and enables easy delivery, with no need for pre-stenting before the procedure. Available in a variety of specifications with extensive applicability, the product is able to meet the needs of 85% of patients. VenusP-Valve™ is also undergoing review and approval with the Chinese National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) and is expected to be marketed within 2022.
During its nine-year clinical use since 2013, VenusP-Valve™ has been applied to nearly 300 cases for humanitarian reasons, spanning more than 20 countries and regions in Asia, Europe, North America, and South America. In March 2021, VenusP-Valve™ received special use authorization from the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) for use in designated medical institutions.
VenusP-Valve™ has impressive clinical data backing up its long-term safety and efficacy. According to two-year follow-up result of the clinical study in Europe, the product demonstrated 100% procedural success, with no reoperation or death observed in two years. In addition, moderate and severe pulmonary regurgitation plunged from 16.88% and 83.12% preoperatively to 0%. The data suggest excellent performance, robust safety and reliability, and drastic and steady improvements in patients' cardiac function.
"The first compassionate use of VenusP-Valve™ accentuates the urgent clinical need and high regulatory recognition of the product", said Eric Zi, Founder, Executive Director, and General Manager of Venus Medtech. "VenusP-Valve™ is undergoing clinical trials or marketing application in many mainstream countries. It is an exemplar for Chinese-developed innovative medical devices to reach global markets. We have full confidence in the rapid global launch of the product as well as the benefits it brings to patients worldwide."

Melbourne have lost three games in a row. They have lost their captain. They have lost their full-forward. They have lost an edge.
They now play the side that has displaced them at the top of the ladder.
Now is not the time to panic, but it is the time to be creative and flexible. What Melbourne have been doing recently has not been working. They need to change.
Most obviously things are not working ahead of the ball as their scoring has dried up. Ben Brown has struggled to find the goals, Mitch Brown has struggled to find the ball, and Sam Weideman has struggled to get a game. Tom McDonald is in the stands, injured.
With Max Gawn now also sidelined and out for the short to medium term, Luke Jackson will have to shoulder more of the ruck burden. This will probably suit him but will also mean Ben Brown will most likely be needed as back-up.
There is a clear ripple effect of that if the Demons want to retain their preferred forward structure.
One option is to move Christian Petracca to full-forward.
This might be the change to the dynamic that helps Melbourne rediscover their creativity and unpredictability. Presently, all of their forwards are playing without confidence.
It is a move Melbourne has contemplated this week. Doubtless in doing so they debated the idea of to what degree do you tinker with what is working in one part of the ground to try to fix what is not working in another?
The answer to that is that it is actually not working that well anywhere on the ground. Yes, the attack has fallen away, but so too has the midfield. They are now being beaten around the ball.
In the first 10 rounds Melbourne was the top-ranked side for contested possession differential. In the rounds since, they are 13th. For 10 rounds they had the best differential for getting the ball inside 50 more than their opponent, now they are 10th. And for 10 rounds they were the side that had the best differential for clearances. In four rounds since, they have been the third worst.
OK, those figures would suggest that this is not the time to be taking a star in Petracca out of the midfield, especially with Gawn, the best ruckman in the competition, already out. But Pavlov and his dog would never have made good coaches. What they have been doing has not been working, so it is worth trying something new.
Those midfield numbers are worrying but the game is about scoring and the most alarming point is Melbourne can’t kick a winning score. The Demons were mid-table for converting a forward-50 entry into a score in the first ten rounds. In the rounds since, they are last. That’s right, worse than North Melbourne.
Petracca is an extremely difficult player to match up on. If he plays from the goal square and the Lions put Harris Andrews to him, what is the flow-on effect? Who takes the Browns, or Weideman if he comes in? Can they force a mismatch?
Steven May returns, which is a welcome relief not only for Melbourne’s defence but diners in Melbourne’s French restaurants on Thursday night.
Melbourne were the league’s stingiest team when it came to conceding scores. In the last four rounds, they have slid to 12th.
May’s return gives them defensive ballast. Jake Lever is better with him in the team, and May helps bolster that important intercept-marking ability to Melbourne’s game.
Angus Brayshaw’s move to the half-back line has been an outstanding success – Melbourne has scored 52 points from his intercept possessions, ranking him third at the club behind May (59 points) and Clayton Oliver (65).
Given that impact the Demons would be loathe to move Brayshaw, but he does present as an option to move on the ball were they to shift Petracca forward. Trent Rivers, dropped after the Freo loss, has shown better signs in the VFL and could come back in on a half-back line, so too could Jayden Hunt, dropped last game.
The midfield issues are not isolated to around the ball. The drop in form of one of Melbourne’s most damaging and hard-running players, Ed Langdon, has coincided with Melbourne’s losses. Teams had long known Langdon was a good player, but now they are putting more work into him and it has dulled some of Melbourne’s attack.
“I think any opposition that plays against Melbourne sees Ed Langdon’s hard running and ability to get back and support and we were really conscious of that,” Collingwood coach Craig McRae said after his Queen’s Birthday upset win.
“I learnt a bit off what Hawthorn did. I spoke to Sam Mitchell he told me what they did.”
The answer to that most likely relies on Langdon having to work through it.
Melbourne’s season is not at a crossroads. You can’t go from the reigning premier and unbeaten for ten rounds then suddenly be easy beats. They are not that. But they do need to confront their problems, confront their injuries and confront the idea of change.
Petracca as a player is a disruptor. A move forward might be the key to unlocking their game.

BRINDISI, Italy (AP) — Film director Paul Haggis appeared in court in southern Italy on Wednesday amid a police investigation into a woman’s allegations he had sex with her without her consent over the course of two days.
Haggis, 69, made no comment as he arrived with Italian attorney Michele Laforgia at the courthouse in Brindisi, a port town in Puglia, the region that forms the “heel” of southeastern Italy. There was no sign that members of his family who were in Italy at the time joined him.
Prosecutors announced Sunday that police had detained the Canadian-born director, screenwriter and producer for investigation of alleged aggravated sexual violence and aggravated personal injuries.
State TV and other Italian media said the alleged victim is a 30-year-old Englishwoman who had known Haggis before he came to the tourist town of Ostuni to participate in an arts festival.
Haggis co-wrote, directed and produced “Crash,” which won the 2006 Academy Awards for best picture and best screenplay. He also wrote the screenplay for “Million Dollar Baby," another Oscar winner.
He has had legal problems in recent years stemming from sexual misconduct accusations by four women in the United States.
In Italy, a judge, after hearing arguments from both prosecutors and defense lawyers, is expected to rule Wednesday on whether Haggis should be freed from custody pending possible additional investigation.
The judge could also decide to order him kept jailed or under house arrest.
Haggis’ U.S.-based attorney, Priya Chaudhry, told The Associated Press on Sunday that although she could not discuss the evidence under Italian law, “I am confident that all allegations will be dismissed against Mr. Haggis. He is totally innocent, and willing to fully cooperate with the authorities so the truth comes out quickly.”
