'Jon Jones is ready to go!': UFC president Dana White reveals 'Bones' will face Stipe Miocic or Francis Ngannou in long-awaited heavyweight debut after more than two years out
- Jon Jones has been out of action for more than two years since vacating his title
- Protracted move up to heavyweight is set to finally take place this year
- Dana White has confirmed that 'Bones' will face Stipe Miocic or Francis Ngannou
- 'We have to know where we are going', he said of Ngannou contract talks
Dana White has confirmed that Jon Jones will face Stipe Miocic or Francis Ngannou in his long-awaited UFC heavyweight debut.
'Bones' has been out of action for more than two years since vacating his light-heavyweight title after scraping past Dominick Reyes.
In the meantime, he has been bulking up to compete with the most powerful athletes the UFC has to offer and was also embroiled in a financial dispute with his paymasters.
Jon Jones has been out of action for more than two years but could fight this year
Stipe Miocic (bottom) or Francis Ngannou (top) are the options for 'Bones'
It seems those issues are in the past now and White offered an update on the situation.
He told Jim Rome: 'Jon Jones is ready to go. We’re just waiting for an opponent.
'It’s either going to be Francis [Ngannou] depending on how long his knee is going to take to recover or Stipe Miocic.'
Miocic has not fought since losing his title to Ngannou and it was previously understood that he agreed to fight Jones in September.
Ngannou's future with the UFC is still far from certain, largely due to the fact that he wants to take on Tyson Fury in a lucrative exhibition boxing match.
Jones has been bulking up since his light-heavyweight days to compete with the big boys
White and Co are vehemently against it but also reluctant to let the Cameroonian powerhouse leave as a free agent when his contract expires towards the end of the year.
Ngannou has undergone knee surgery since his title defence against Ciryl Gane and recently spoke about being two or three months away from grappling again.
He said: 'Next week we will probably get a sit-down and talk a little bit and see where we are going.
'We have to have a direction to know where we are going.'
Ngannou (second from right) is currently recovering from injury after his victory at UFC 270
It would be fascinating to see Ngannou take on Jones but White is concerned about the effects such a long lay-off could have on the former light-heavyweight champion.
He added: 'It’s very interesting because I’m a huge believer in ring rust.
'But for all the negative things you could say about Jon Jones and his personal life and things that have happened, he’s the best. He’s definitely the best of all time.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10960075/UFC-president-Dana-White-reveals-Jon-Jones-face-Stipe-Miocic-Francis-Ngannou.html | 2022-06-28T08:03:42Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10960075/UFC-president-Dana-White-reveals-Jon-Jones-face-Stipe-Miocic-Francis-Ngannou.html | false | 2 |

New survey data on calf colostrum management shows that dairy farmers are making steady improvements, but performance monitoring needs more of a focus.
MSD Animal Health has reported on the results of an early 2022 survey of current colostrum management practices in the UK.
Feedback was gained from 248 dairy farmers representing both all year round and block calving herds.
Questions were designed to draw out current practices relating to the accepted 5Qs of best practice colostrum management: Quality, Quantity, Quickly, sQueaky clean and Quantify.
Asked whether they check the quality of their cow colostrum before storing or feeding it, 49% of respondents said they always check its quality; 25% said sometimes and 26% never.
Interestingly, when farmers were asked this same question two years ago, 44% of farmers said they never test their colostrum.
MSD Animal Health's youngstock product manager, Rob Simpson said the new results were particularly encouraging.
“Farmers are now making good strides forward in this crucial area and reaping the benefits of improved calf health as a result. That’s great news.
“Colostrum’s importance cannot be over-emphasised. In addition to providing immunity against key early life disease threats, fed correctly and in enough quantity, colostrum also helps kickstart sound organ development and a healthy metabolism.
"We also know that a good colostrum intake enables a greater response by the calf to important vaccines (up to six to ten months of age)," he said.
"Indeed, the additive impact of sound colostrum feeding protocols and vaccination is the cornerstone of immunity-led disease prevention.”
More than 70% of the 248 dairy farmers claimed to be feeding up to four litres with a further 9% of respondents feeding more than four and a half litres.
And the majority seem to be getting it into the calf quickly; more than 75% giving it before the newborn calf is six hours of age and more than 15% within 12 hours of birth.
Mr Simpson added that it was also encouraging that farmers now appreciate the importance of hygiene. “More than 60% of farmers are feeding it within 30 minutes of harvest and another 23% within the hour.”
The final best practice Q relates to quantification and Mr Simpson stressed that there is no point investing in better colostrum management and feeding practices if progress cannot be monitored.
“Failure of passive transfer (FPT) of antibodies is nearly 14 times higher on farms that don’t routinely monitor this goal compared with farms that do," he added.
"However, this latest survey found that 40% of farms never check the transfer of antibodies from colostrum by calf blood analysis. What’s more, another 33% only do it in the event of a problem."
Independent veterinary professional Owen Atkinson explained that farmers should be checking colostrum antibody absorption routinely. “Progress has been slow in this area but now appears to be improving,” he said.
“In 2015 just 3% of farms were blood testing calves but this latest survey suggests more than a quarter of the farms are now working with their vet in this area. That’s really encouraging.” | https://www.farminguk.com/news/survey-farmers-making-improvements-on-calf-colostrum-management_60654.html | 2022-06-28T08:07:04Z | https://www.farminguk.com/news/survey-farmers-making-improvements-on-calf-colostrum-management_60654.html | true | 1 |
DUBAI, UAE, June 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- GfK, a leading provider of consumer and market intelligence, analytics, and consulting services, unveiled an exclusive Consumer Pulse Study for its customers across the consumer products industry at its Insight Summit themed around "Winning the new consumerism in the Middle East". The study is aimed at understanding how Middle East Consumers feel about key evolving trends happening globally as well as here in the Middle East and seeks to uncover key trends, barriers, needs, gaps, and drivers impacting consumer lives in this new transformed reality.
On the occasion, Nacho San Martin, Managing Director - Middle East, GfK said, "Consumers in the MENA region are adapting and recovering to a new consumerism order amidst global unrest, heightened economic pressures alongside newly adopted consumer choices and behaviors. This is reflected in consumer purchases as Technical Goods Market growth in the MENA region is the strongest worldwide. GfK Consumer Pulse Study, conducted across UAE, KSA, and Egypt, is aimed at understanding changing consumer lifestyles, attitudes, and behavior and what's next for brands & industries."
"In the Middle East region, GfK is committed to helping consumer product companies to deliver growth with data-driven intelligence by offering access to critical knowledge in real-time powered by gfknewron around consumers, markets, brands, and media. We are also continuously strengthening our position & operation in geographies with significant growth potentials like Saudi Arabia, UAE, Iraq, and Pakistan." - Nacho further added.
Consumer optimism about the economy and personal finance
MENA Consumers are more resilient and tend to be more confident but are not completely immune from financial pressures driven by Covid-19, inflation, and the Ukraine conflict. While they are mirroring broader global and emerging market tendencies, 2 out of 3 surveyed consumers in MENA are optimistic about the country's future economic situation and more than half are very confident of better financial status in the next 1 year.
Dr. Christoph Preuss, Vice President - Global Marketing & Consumer Intelligence, GfK said - "For business, brand and marketing leaders to navigate a world of uncertainty and high emotions, three trends to watch for in the near and long term are - 1) Emerging concerns as consumers are paying higher prices, we are watching our wallets, but we still pay for quality, 2) Sustainability-focused behavior of brands as consumers across MENA are mindful of conserving natural resources and reducing consumption, and 3) The Metaverse and how it is changing the way we live, work, play, enjoy, and pay."
Mobility electrified - 2 out of 5 consumers in MENA prefer EV engines for future vehicle purchases
A rise in environmental concerns is visible in consumers' "Go Green" preferences and thus, the EV market represents a massive opportunity for car traditional and new (tech) mobility companies.
While the adoption of electric/hybrid is still at an early stage, consumers are positively disposed toward EVs - 2 out of 5 prefer EV engines for future vehicle purchases. Interestingly, consumers in the Middle East also expect digital cars from IT companies representing an area of opportunity.
Into the Metaverse - A new era for integrated brand experiences
Consumer Digitization across the region goes from strength to strength and the next evolution of digital experiences is becoming a reality as tech giants, and brands gear up to build the metaverse and not forget about the physical world and AR. More than half of surveyed consumers in MENA are interested to learn more about the Metaverse, and willing to experience it. They believe it will make their shopping experience more exciting.
"The emerging metaverse will reshape retail and brand interactions while promising new revenue streams. While expectations towards the virtual world are high, there is still a significant room for brands to engage with brands in the non-virtual world." Dr. Preuss added.
Evolving shopping behaviors and preferences
As per GfK Consumer Pulse Study, consumers across the MENA region spend less and hunt for deals. More than half of surveyed consumers in the middle-income class in KSA and Egypt spent less on everyday necessities because of rising prices (e.g., food and clothes). 2 in 5 consumers in KSA and Egypt have postponed a purchase until the product was on sale/special offer and switched from premium brands to less expensive brands.
"For Brands, price is important but more important is to build consumer trust and loyalty for competitive advantage," - says Dr. Preuss.
About GfK Consumer Pulse Study
Today's leaders need to pivot their strategies- to better understand how to succeed in rapidly changing environments. GfK Consumer pulse study was conducted across UAE, KSA, and Egypt with a sample size of 1800 interviews during May'22 focusing on overall consumer feeling and confidence, lifestyle and purchase behavior, automotive and traveling trends, sustainable development, digital and technology, AR and metaverse.

Netflix has cut another 300 jobs after subscriptions fall.
The streaming giant carried another round of job cuts after letting 150 go back in May and reporting its first dip in subscribers in ten years.
They said: "While we continue to invest significantly in the business, we made these adjustments so that our costs are growing in line with our slower revenue growth,” adding they were continuing to hire in other areas.
Netflix - who boasts 220 million accounts from all over the world - has since gathered a load of competition from rivals as Disney Plus, Hulu, Amazon Prime and others. In addition, they have raised their monthly prices, which is thought to have caused the exodus of users. They expect to lose another 200,000 paying customers by the end of the year.
They floated an idea of adding a cheaper tier, party funded by commercials.
Ted Sarandos, the co-CEO said: "We're not adding ads to Netflix as you know it today. We're adding an ad tier for folks who say 'Hey, I want a lower price and I'll watch ads’."
Experts have suggested that the plan for an ad-supported model might not be the best option for the streamer.
Dominic Sunnebo, a analyst from Kantar said: "If the schemes to counter password sharing move too fast and too aggressively, it also risks alienating a potential future audience - many who password-share beyond the household are not actually aware they're breaking the terms of their subscription." | https://nordot.app/914428533935276032 | 2022-06-28T08:25:58Z | https://nordot.app/914428533935276032 | false | 1 |
LANCASTER, Wis. — Officials are interested in developing the Grant County Farm property located south of Lancaster.
Lancaster Common Council members recently approved a draft memorandum of understanding with the county for a municipal water line extension in the Grant County Farm Development Area. The farm property is located next to Grant County Community Services Building and Orchard Manor.
The memorandum concerns extending the redundant water service to the Grant County Farm and providing a second water main connection to the property. The document states that “that water extension is something both the county and the city support because it will help in the development of the Grant County Farm property.”
The memorandum states that construction is estimated to take 18 months. Lancaster City Administrator David Carlson told the Common Council that Grant County would pay the cost of the project. No cost estimate was provided in the memorandum.
Grant County supervisors have not yet considered the memorandum. It was not on the board’s May agenda, and the board is not meeting this month.

MOSCOW — More than four months after she was arrested at a Moscow airport for cannabis possession, American basketball star Brittney Griner appeared in court Monday for a preliminary hearing ahead of her trial.
The Phoenix Mercury star, considered in some polls to be the United States’ most gifted female athlete, could face 10 years in prison if convicted on charges of large-scale transportation of drugs. Fewer than 1% of defendants in Russian criminal cases are acquitted.
The trial is scheduled to begin on Friday. Griner was recently ordered to remain in pretrial detention until July 2. The hearing, held behind closed doors in the court of the Moscow suburb of Khimki, was set to address procedural issues.
Irving exercises option to remain with Nets
NEW YORK — Kyrie Irving has decided to exercise his $36.9 million option for the coming season and will remain under contract with the Brooklyn Nets, two people with knowledge of his decision said Monday.
The seven-time All-Star averaged 27.4 points and 5.8 assists this past season for the Nets, with whom he has spent the last three seasons. He’s about to enter the final season in a four-year, $137 million deal with Brooklyn.
FOOTBALL
Lawsuit: Texans ‘turned a blind eye’
HOUSTON — The Houston Texans had been told that their former quarterback Deshaun Watson was sexually assaulting and harassing women during massage sessions, but instead of trying to stop him, the team provided him with resources to enable his actions and “turned a blind eye” to his behavior, according to a lawsuit filed Monday.
The lawsuit against the team was filed in Houston by one of the 24 women who had previously sued Watson over allegations of sexual misconduct when he played for the Texans. Last week, the women’s attorney, Tony Buzbee, announced 20 of the 24 lawsuits have been settled.
Briscoe, 1st Black starting QB in AFL, dies
Marlin Briscoe, who became the first Black starting quarterback in the American Football League more than 50 years ago, died Monday.
His daughter, Angela Marriott, told The Associated Press that Briscoe, 76, died of pneumonia at a hospital in Norwalk, Calif. He had been hospitalized with circulation issues in his legs.
Briscoe, an Omaha, Neb., native, was a star quarterback for Omaha University before the Denver Broncos drafted him as a cornerback in the 14th round in 1968.

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Los Angeles Angels interim manager Phil Nevin was suspended 10 games and Seattle Mariners outfielder Jesse Winker received a seven-game ban from Major League Baseball for their roles in a benches-clearing brawl during the second inning of Sunday’s game.
Nevin and Winker were two of 12 players or coaches suspended between the teams, according to an MLB release Monday night. Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford received five games, Angels pitchers Ryan Tepera and Andrew Wantz were suspended for three, and Mariners outfielder Julio Rodríguez, Angels reliever Raisel Iglesias and major league interpreter Manny Del Campo received two games. | https://www.telegraphherald.com/sports/other_sports/article_1959678e-c362-5638-8305-8f95a1522876.html | 2022-06-28T08:32:43Z | https://www.telegraphherald.com/sports/other_sports/article_1959678e-c362-5638-8305-8f95a1522876.html | false | 1 |
Irish holidaymakers may be in for further chaos at Dublin Airport terminals after the chief executive of the Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) said there could be a risk of a flight cap if it can’t cope with passenger numbers.
The airport has previously encountered difficulties with security and check-in delays as it struggles to deal with staffing shortages seen throughout Europe since international travel reopened.
Airports such as London’s Gatwick and Amsterdam’s Schiphol have restricted the number of flights that airlines can operate during the peak summer season.

DAA chief executive Dalton Philips said: “We are working hard to avoid the types of restrictive measures introduced in many international airports over recent weeks, albeit risks remain, and we continue to monitor developments on an hourly basis.”
The news comes after passengers at Dublin Airport experienced huge security delays last month, causing over 1,000 passengers to miss their flights.
Mr Philips was speaking on Monday as the DAA released its annual report for 2021.
The report stated it made a €103m pre-exceptional loss for the year, compared to a €183m pre-exceptional loss in 2020.
The CEO said the losses came despite more than 1,000 staff being let go during the pandemic, with Covid accounting for €387m in losses at the DAA over the past two years.
Mr Philips also said strained operations would likely continue over the busy summer months.
He said: “Dublin Airport entered 2022 with significantly diminished staffing capacity, some months ahead of the steepest rise in air travel in its history.”
Adding: “Despite the Herculean efforts of DAA employees, this capacity and timing mismatch has had a regrettable impact on service delivery and quality that is being addressed at pace but will likely result in strained operations through the coming busy summer months.”
Mr Philips said that the DAA continues to hire new security officers, open more security lanes and improve its queue management systems at Dublin Airport.
He said that queue times are now below 45 minutes for most passengers, “but vulnerabilities remain”.
Passengers have also reported issues with baggage handling, with some waiting for hours over the weekend to collect their bags.
Lost luggage has also become a concern after bags that were due to be delivered to passengers weeks ago appear to have been left stranded in the airport’s baggage hall.
This has resulted from third-party providers who handle baggage suffering the same staffing shortfalls.
Aer Lingus also cancelled flights at the weekend due to the impact of Covid-related absences and air traffic control strikes in Europe.
This resulted in chaos for passengers who had already travelled to Dublin Airport to catch their flights.
“Though Dublin Airport expects to have doubled its security screening staff to 920 staff over the coming weeks, challenges remain,” conceded Mr Philips.
He added: “Peak volumes after two years of domestic vacationing, alongside staffing challenges facing the airlines and other airport partners that operate at Dublin Airport across check-in, baggage handling, and retail and hospitality services, are impacting customer experience, something [the] DAA is working hard to address in collaboration with our aviation partners and airlines.”

I’m the type of person who loves to mix convenience with affordability. For some 20-odd years, I’ve managed to survive on instant coffee at home while sneaking in a cup of barista-made coffee at work or on my days off. I’ve had various coffee machines over my life, but none have ever transported me straight to the café quite like this Desea coffee machine from Lavazza’s A Mio Modo range.
Specs and features
- 145 (w) x 380 (d) x 280 (h)
- 4.5kg
- 1500W power
- Touch interface with acoustic feedback
- Up to four coffee doses and five milk recipes
- Comes with glass mug
- Milk frothing options
- 1.1L water tank
- Empty water tank alert
- Adjustable grid/drip tray
- Nine minute automatic shut-off
- Full capsule collection drawer alert
- Cable length 0.8m
Design
Like most of the other models in Lavazza’s A Mio Modo collection, the Desea has an oblong shape and a sleek, Italian-inspired design. Unlike most coffee machines, what sets the A Mio Modo range apart is its decision to produce narrower models that don’t take up as much space.
It couldn’t be more true for the Lavazza Desea, although if you’ve got a bunch of randomly positioned power outlets in your kitchen (like I do), you might struggle to find a home for it on your bench. While its narrow frame does mean you can fit more on your counter, its front juts out. This can make it sit out awkwardly among your other appliances, unless you have a nice nearby wall to position it beside. You’ll want to leave a bit of clearance surrounding it, since you’ll need to refill its water tank often.
The water tank itself is quite big, easy to slide in and out of its place at the back of the machine and can hold up to 1.1L of water. The tank should last you two to three rounds of coffee before you need to refill it, but it also depends on how much hot water you use to fill your cup.
On the interface, there’s a variety of different touch controls that can seem confusing at first, but after some experimentation you should nail it to a T. Once you turn the machine on, the left control dial will immediately light up.
There’s four coffee options available: espresso, long espresso, long coffee and free dose supply button. There’s also a thermometer icon that you can press to increase the temperature of the dosage (a big win for me) and a foam control button. You’ll notice three icons in the centre of the interface that signal when you’ll need to empty the capsule collection drawer, top up the water tank or descale the coffee machine.
The Lavazza Desea also comes with an adjustable drip tray that can be moved up for shorter cups or down for your average 12 ounce mug. Perhaps my favourite part about unboxing this capsule coffee machine was seeing that it came with its own glass mug and milk frother. While most milk frothers are built into coffee machines, the Lavazza Desea’s simply snaps onto the glass mug and slides into the machine.
The glass mug itself is sturdy, well-made and features three markers to indicate how much milk to add to it. The only thing it lacks is a spout, but I’ll talk more about that later on.
Once you insert the mug and the attached milk frother, the machine’s right dial will light up with its four touch controls: cappuccino, cappuccino large, milk macchiato and a hot/cold whipped milk supply button.
Unfortunately, there’s a limited colour range available for the Lavazza Desea capsule coffee machine – you can grab one in black or cream. However there is meant to be a brown model but it’s currently unavailable online. Considering that competitor coffee machines are typically black, white or silver, it’s not a big loss but it’s always fun to have the choice.
Set-up and care
Thanks to its simple and smart design, set-up is seamless. It’s so easy, you don’t really need to read the instructions to figure out how everything works. Even attaching the milk frother to the glass mug and then sliding it into the machine is super simple.
The only thing I felt overwhelmed with in the beginning was the number of controls. But after some experimentation, I’ve managed to nail it my morning macchiatos.
Before use, you will need to fill the water tank and flush it through the machine to lubricate the internal valves.
While it might seem like your Lavazza is running like a machine, the key to ensuring its full lifetime value is to care for it properly. To maintain your Desea, I had a chat with John Kozsik, the National Training Manager at Lavazza Australia to collect some of his top tips and tricks.
John recommends cleaning and descaling your coffee machine at least once a month. “Not only [will it] extend the life of your coffee machine,” explains John, “But [it will] ensure your coffee is tasting as it should and at its best.”
If you’re wondering what in the world “descaling” means, it simply refers to the process of removing any mineral build-up that’s sitting inside your coffee machine. Thankfully, you don’t have to pull it apart to do this. Instead, all you need to do is buy an appropriate cleaning solution from your local supermarket and follow the instructions accordingly. It usually involves filling the water tank with the solution and flushing out the system over a one hour period.
Ultimately, you’ll prevent the build-up of limescale, bacteria or calcium and believe us, the longer you leave it the harder it’ll be to remove.
John also adds that you should aim to wipe down the drip tray and flush out your coffee machine with some water after each extraction. If you’re in favour of adding some extra hot water to your morning cuppa, then this’ll kill two birds with one stone.
What I liked
I don’t know why I’ve slept so long on purchasing a capsule coffee machine, especially a Lavazza one. If we can talk about the coffee for a moment, I want to say I’m seriously impressed. Each capsule contains 7.5 grams of ground coffee that’s been vacuum packed and features an extensive range that caters to every person’s strength and taste preferences.
I was gifted a box of Qualità Rosso and Lungo Dolce. Both feature Arabica types of coffee, which lends to a smooth and well-balanced cup of joe. I lean towards the Lungo Dolce, which has an intensity rating of 6 and possesses some fruity notes. My partner, on the other hand, loves the Rossa, which is a blend of both Arabica and Robusta coffee and possesses an intensity rating of 10. If I’m ever in the need of a pick-me-up, I’ll make myself a cup using the Rossa for an instant wake-up.
In short, every time I make a cup I feel like I’ve skipped down to my local coffee shop and ordered one handmade by an experienced barista.
As you can tell from the images above, that’s a piping hot cappuccino with a bit of condensation surrounding the glass. The taste is extremely smooth with a light golden colour and a small amount of froth. I could’ve added more froth if I wanted to, but that’s best saved for a macchiato.
The best thing about this machine is that it caters to different coffee preferences. While the choices are primarily limited to espresso, cappuccino and macchiato, it’s still a well-balanced offering. If you like your coffee scalding hot, there’s a button to do that, or if you want your milk so frothy you can wear a foam ‘stache, you absolutely can.
The steam wand itself heats and beats the milk to frothy perfection. When I first put it on, I was a little sceptical. The lid doesn’t perfectly seal onto the mug and there’s a good gap for milk to escape if it ever goes haywire. I was feeling a little bold one night, so I attached a 3/4 full cup of milk and hit go. I watched it anxiously nearby, ready to spring into action in case the milk spun out of the cup and started splashing my walls. It didn’t.
What I didn’t like
There wasn’t much I didn’t like about the Lavazza Desea capsule coffee machine. But my biggest gripe was its additional glass mug. The damn thing doesn’t have a spout, so if you’re sharing or planning on pouring your concoction into your favourite Pokémon mug, sorry you’ll probably lose half your coffee (for that reason, I highly recommend all pouring must be conducted over the sink).
I love the mug and while it’ll probably save me a mere cup from washing up, I’ll probably be buying a second one. Those in multi-coffee drinker households will probably want to do the same.
I can only imagine what will happen when one person makes their cup for the day, wanders off with the mug and leaves one caffeine-deprived soul to scratch their head in the kitchen wondering what to do.
You can’t even attach the milk frother itself and try to insert a different mug below it since there’s no space that won’t result in snapping or bending the steaming wand.
Another issue I encountered was the sensitivity of the capsule collection drawer. While Lavazza’s online store says that it can store up to 10 pods before emptying, my light would come on every time it filled up with four capsules. I’m assuming it has something to do with the weight and that since the drawer tends to fill with water, then the sensor thinks it must be full when it’s not.
The last thing I want to note is the Desea’s reputation as the “quietest” one in the A Mio Modo range. In my experience, it wasn’t that quiet. Coffee-making is a loud business and you can definitely hear the extraction process from another room. While it’s not as pervasive and only lasts about 30 seconds, light sleepers might not appreciate you brewing anything at 6am.
Should you buy the Lavazza Desea capsule coffee machine?
The Lavazza Desea makes you feel like a barista, but allows you to make a coffee with one touch. It’s the best option for those who prefer milk-based coffee and live alone, or those who inhabit a household with multiple coffee preferences.
While it’s iconic glass mug could use a redesign (please add a spout), overall, it’s a hard coffee maker to fault. Timely, affordable and stylish, you’ll find that the Lavazza Desea capsule coffee machine can almost do it all.
It’s a thoughtfully-made coffee maker that creates a delicious cup of Italian coffee and gives caffeine addicts the best of all worlds.
If we look at it from a price perspective, I’d say it’s well worth the money. Compared to the other coffee machines available in the A Mio Modo collection, it’s the only one that offers a fully customisable cup of coffee. Its value far outweighs what the Lavazza SMEG can offer, though the Desea only scores lower in looks alone.
If we look at it compared to other milk-frothing options, its price is significantly cheaper. While you may be reliant on a single mug to achieve your desired foaminess, saving a couple hundred dollars feels like a small price to pay for a slight inconvenience.
You can pick the Lavazza Desea capsule coffee machine from one of the retailers below:
- Amazon: White Cream ($249.99)
- eBay: Ink Black ($269) or Cream White ($365)
- The Good Guys: Black Ink ($269) or White Cream ($299)
If you intend on sharing your Lavazza coffee machine with your family, we recommend picking up an extra glass mug from The Good Guys while you’re at it. You can grab one here for $19.95. | https://www.lifehacker.com.au/2022/06/lavazza-desea-coffee-machine-review/ | 2022-06-28T08:35:49Z | https://www.lifehacker.com.au/2022/06/lavazza-desea-coffee-machine-review/ | false | 1 |

Open Thread 184
...
This is the weekly visible open thread. Odd-numbered open threads will be no-politics, even-numbered threads will be politics-allowed. This one is even-numbered, so go wild - or post about whatever else you want. Also:
1: A correction to my post about Sasha’s LSD experience: I wrote that neurogenesis “probably doesn’t happen in adult humans, or if it does it’s rare and limited to specific areas”. Commenters found some studies showing that, at the very least, it does happen in the olfactory bulb, which would be relevant for smell. I still don’t think it happens quickly enough to explain Chapin recovering. I’ve added this to my Mistakes page.
2: A lot of people reading that post overestimated whether psychedelics could help them with their own weird issues. Psychedelics are pretty well-tested (albeit informally) for things like chronic pain. They seem to work okay but not miraculously, kind of like everything else. I don’t think this necessarily means the mechanism doesn’t work - if you chose a random antibiotic and took one dose of it to prevent random sinus problems, that would probably also only work “okay”, since it would mix infective causes with non-infective causes, appropriate antibiotics with inappropriate antibiotics, and a single dose of antibiotic isn’t very effective anyway. I think psychedelics as treatment for things like chronic pain are at the “we should figure out the mechanism” stage and not the “patients can use this as a miracle cure” stage.
3: I’m pretty annoyed by comments that say just things like “This is a bad post” or “You are clearly misinformed” without any elaboration. This is true whether it’s responding to me or to a commenter. I’m going to start banning these if I see them from now on. Feel free to challenge or criticize anything, but please share your reasoning. I will grudgingly allow things of the form “I’m an expert in this field and I just want to warn people this is wrong, though I don’t have enough time to explain how”. But if it’s just “u suck”, that’s a banning. | https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/open-thread-184 | 2022-06-28T08:37:04Z | https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/open-thread-184 | true | 1 |

An exhibition on the subject of Wroxeter during WWII will be launched by the Churches Conservation Trust at St Andrew's Church, in the village on July 12.
Wartime child evacuee Ronnie Burkey who is now 90 and lives in Birkenhead is set to visit the event. The exhibition will be dedicated to Mr Burkley and his late brother Frank who died in December. They provided memories for the exhibition.
The third sibling evacuated after their home was bombed in Lancaster Avenue in Wallasey in 1941 was their sister Jean.
The exhibition will be dedicated to them and their cousin Les Clarke who was killed in 1944 while serving in the RAF.
Flying Officer Lesley Clarke of Bomber Command served in 51 Squadron - Number 4 Group and was killed over Stuttgart on March 15, 1944. I have attached some images that you may find interesting.
William King, on behalf of St Andrew's Church, Wroxeter said: "The Trust would very much like to welcome Mr Burkey and his family back to Shropshire, especially as he is the last surviving of three to have been evacuated to Wroxeter during the war." | https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/local-hubs/shrewsbury/2022/06/28/exhibition-set-to-pay-tribute-to-war-hero-and-children-evacuated-to-shropshire-in-the-war/ | 2022-06-28T08:38:45Z | https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/local-hubs/shrewsbury/2022/06/28/exhibition-set-to-pay-tribute-to-war-hero-and-children-evacuated-to-shropshire-in-the-war/ | true | 1 |
The National Anti-profiteering Authority (NAA) has found Indiabulls Real Estate guilty of not passing on over Rs 6.46 crore input tax credit benefits to homebuyers by commensurate reduction in prices post rollout of GST.
Based on a case filed by a homebuyer that Indiabulls Real Estate has not passed on ITC benefits in project Sierra-Vizag, situated in Visakhapatnam, the Directorate General of Anti Profiteering (DGAP) investigated the case and found the builder guilty of profiteering.
The DGAP found that the real estate firm benefitted from additional ITC post the introduction of Goods and Services Tax between July 1, 2017-March 31, 2019, and over Rs 6.46 crore should be passed on to the buyers in the project. The Authority finds that the Respondent has profiteered by an amount of Rs 6,46,06,227 for the project 'Sierra Vizag' during the period of investigation.
"The amount that has been profiteered by the respondent from the homebuyers in the said project shall be refunded by him, along with interest at the rate of 18 per cent there on, from the date when the above amount was profiteered by him till the date of such payment, NAA said in its order dated June 24. The profiteered amount has to be passed on to homebuyers within 3 months. | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/indiabulls-real-estate-guilty-of-profiteering-rs-6-46-crore-to-refund-homebuyers-naa-8748311.html/amp | 2022-06-28T08:43:35Z | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/indiabulls-real-estate-guilty-of-profiteering-rs-6-46-crore-to-refund-homebuyers-naa-8748311.html/amp | false | 7 |
Flat pedal mountain bike shoes chunky enough to take Alex Honnold up El Capitan on - AKA the grip is great!
Getting to grip with the Ride Concepts Tallac shoes
With its red and green walking boot laces and overly chunky heel and toe tread, the Ride Concepts Tallac shoe looks nothing like any riding shoe I’ve ever seen. Does it work though, can it cut it alongside the best mountain bike shoes you can lace to your feet?
Actually yes. I’m not an adventurer as such; I like the odd big mountain epic but I’m no Sim Mainey. I did get out there there and push my bike up a few loose climbs though, and there’s considerably more grip from the heel and toe area when compared with Ride Concepts’ excellent Hellion Elite shoe.
Dig them in like a crampon and the half-hex lugs at the extremes are angled inwards towards the middle of your foot, catching the ground. There’s no problem in rock of course, the Ride Concepts MAX GRIP rubber is very tacky and compliant and the midsole flexy enough to walk comfortably in.
Ride Concepts Tallac mountain bike shoe performance
You’re probably more interested in what happens on the bike though, and here you get the same great connection to the pedal we first saw on the Hellion Elite. It’s a slightly different feel to a Five Ten compound, you don’t sink in quite as much but I never slipped a pedal. In fact, I had a few moments taking my foot off to dab in these dusty conditions, where I almost couldn’t get clear, so proud are the lugs. It took a few rides to adjust.
Ride Concepts uses a D3O insole in the Tallac, and combined with the chunky sole, reinforced TPU heel and toe sections, and EVA midsole, it definitely gives it the edge in terms of cushioning. I can ride all day in these without getting sore feet. I back-to-backed them with both the Hellion Elite and the Specialized 2FO Roost shoe, the latter has a stonkingly grippy sole, but less in the way of impact protection.
The adventure theme continues with a Cordura upper that proved really durable and highly breathable too, and an antibacterial mesh lining to keep things sweet smelling. I tested the simple lace up version of the shoe, but come August you’ll also be able to get a BOA closure version for £179.95. There’s also a women’s version called the Flume, which is identical in all but name and sizing, which runs from sizes 5-10.
I’m not a huge fan of the way the Tallac looks, but that’s obviously a personal choice. And at £150 it’s an expensive upgrade over the Hellion Elite, so make sure you really need those extra features. It also pinches slightly if you have wide, flat feet, and some testers reported the extra chunk of the sole rubbed their chainstays.

Verdict
That said, if you’re into big mountain riding, scrambling up scree slopes or leaping streams then the Tallac is an excellent option because it delivers great grip and maximum protection, both on and off the bike. | https://www.mbr.co.uk/reviews/shoes/ride-concepts-tallac-shoe-review | 2022-06-28T08:46:32Z | https://www.mbr.co.uk/reviews/shoes/ride-concepts-tallac-shoe-review | false | 1 |
SSE Thermal and Equinor have entered into an agreement to acquire Triton Power Holdings Ltd from Energy Capital Partners for a total consideration of £341m, shared equally between the partners.
The companies said the move would support the long-term decarbonisation of the UK’s power system while contributing to the security of supply and grid stability through flexible power generation in the shorter term.
Triton Power operates Saltend Power Station which is 1.2GW CCGT (Combined Cycle Gas Turbine) and CHP (Combined Heat & Power) power station on the north of the Humber estuary in East Yorkshire.
A statement said: "Saltend Power Station is a potential primary offtaker to Equinor’s H2H Saltend hydrogen production project. H2H Saltend is expected to kick-start the wider decarbonisation of the Humber region as part of the East Coast Cluster, one of the UK's first carbon capture, usage and storage clusters."
"In addition, the portfolio includes Indian Queens Power Station, a 140MW OCGT (Open Cycle Gas Turbine) in Cornwall, and Deeside Power Station, a decommissioned CCGT in north Wales which provides carbon-free inertia to the system."
"Following completion of the transaction, SSE Thermal and Equinor will jointly own and operate Triton Power and focus on using the Triton Power portfolio as a platform to develop more low-carbon projects to support the transition to net zero, building on the decarbonisation work already carried out by Triton."
"The transaction underscores SSE Thermal and Equinor’s shared ambition to decarbonise the Humber, which is the UK’s most carbon-intensive industrial region, as well as the UK more widely. Initial steps to decarbonise Saltend Power Station are already underway, targeting partial abatement by 2027 through blending up to 30% of low-carbon hydrogen. In addition, carbon capture provides an additional valuable option for the site. SSE Thermal and Equinor will continue to work towards 100% abatement."
Mick Farr, Chief Executive, Triton Power, said: “This agreement will allow the Triton Power assets to continue to provide critical grid services and flexible power generation while building on the progress already made on decarbonisation. I have been particularly impressed by the vision and commitment shown by SSE Thermal and Equinor in our discussions and believe they have the capabilities and knowledge required to allow our pipeline of clean energy projects to proceed at pace.” | https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/business/energy-firms-in-ps341m-deal-to-accelerate-decarbonisation-of-the-humber-3747482 | 2022-06-28T08:54:37Z | https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/business/energy-firms-in-ps341m-deal-to-accelerate-decarbonisation-of-the-humber-3747482 | true | 1 |
Four years later, Tim Crawford wonders how much empathy the new Bozeman has for those that prosperity sent packing. EDITOR'S NOTE: This column by T.H Crawford appeared originally in spring 2018 and was written by him in response to the demolition of a trailer park that was turned into condo/town houses whose values were well beyond the reach of longtime working class citizens. That gap accelerated in the wake of Covid arriving in 2020. Some of the inhabitants of the trailer park were single parents raising kids, elderly and people with disabilities. Nowhere, be it in Bozeman, Big Sky, Jackson, Wyo or Teton Valley, Idaho is there any indication that the free-market, even as the construction industry seeks less regulation, is appreciably making a positive impact in addressing the growing affordable housing crisis. Rather, the free market has only made it worse, observers say. MoJo is sharing Crawford's column again because it is more timely than when it was presciently written.

For a long time now, most Nigerians have dreaded travelling by road. Kidnappers and bandits have taken over the highways, killing and maiming innocent citizens, while taking some of them for ransom.
Thus, for those who have the means, it is better to travel by air. For those who do not like flying and others whose resources are lean, the train becomes their alternative to achieving safety in their journey. Recently, this new hope and feeling were shattered as terrorists attacked the Kaduna airport and a Kaduna-Abuja bound train, killing scores, injuring many while taking others hostage.
Furthermore, these days, the rate of kidnapping, rituals, armed robbery, and suicide is alarming. Hunger, depression, fear of the known and the unknown is everywhere. Nobody, nowhere in the country is really safe, not even places of worship.
The unprecedented level of insecurity in Nigeria signposts a huge failure on the part of the Nigerian government. Nigerians have had enough of unproductive tactics, and enough of unyielding and empty explanations. We need to do the needful as a matter of urgency.
Unfortunately, we never put a premium on human lives. We need huge investments in intelligence gathering. We should stop pardoning the so-called repentant terrorists. We should stop promoting amnesty for these devils. It is high time we started punishing criminals.
To get the nation out of the current quagmire, a thorough purge of our defense and security structures would not be out of place. As it stands now, we are far from winning the battle against banditry and terrorism.
Two inexplicable policies that cannot be glossed over are the absorption of so-called repented terrorists into our military and the protracted battle that it took to recognise the clear difference between banditry and terrorist activities.
Also, community policing is a must if we are really serious about tackling insecurity. Let us make use of the villagers for daily intelligence gathering.
I believe one of the concerns of the Buhari administration is the security of lives and property. Yes, he is trying his best, but he can still do better.

Wales captain Gareth Bale has signed a 12-month contract with Los Angeles FC that features options through 2024, the Major League Soccer squad announced Monday.
ALSO READ: Fernandino returns to Brazil’s Athletico Paranense
Bale confirmed his plans on social media over the weekend after his departure from Spanish giants Real Madrid.
“I am extremely excited for this move to LAFC,” Bale said.
“This is the right place for me and my family and the right time in my career and I cannot wait to get started working with the team and getting ready to win more trophies in Los Angeles.”
The 32-year-old forward, a five-time UEFA Champions League winner, spent nine years with Real Madrid.
“Gareth is one of the most dynamic and exciting players of his generation,” LAFC co-president and general manager John Thorrington said. “Adding a player who brings his talent and experience at the highest levels is an incredible opportunity to improve our club.
“It’s clear that Gareth is highly motivated to continue to win trophies and we are elated that he has made the choice to join LAFC and help lead us in our ultimate goal of winning championships.”
Bale has made 105 appearances for Wales since 2006, scoring 28 goals and contributing 22 assists. He sparked Wales into this year’s Qatar World Cup, their first appearance in 64 years.
The Cardiff native made his professional debut at age 16 in 2006 for Southampton in the English Championship before joining Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur in 2007, scoring 42 goals in 146 appearances through 2013, when he joined Real Madrid.
With the La Liga club, Bale scored 106 goals and assisted on 67 others in 258 appearances as Real Madrid made a stunning trophy haul, collecting hardware 19 times.
“There are simply not many players in the world who can have an impact on a match like Gareth Bale,” LAFC head coach Steve Cherundolo said. “He can be dangerous in so many different ways and we expect him to complement what we believe is already a strong team from the moment he arrives.
“His knowledge of the game and experience in playing in big games will be invaluable for our club.”
Bale is expected to attend an LAFC home match on Wednesday against Dallas and a likely debut match would be the Black and Gold’s July 8 home game against the Los Angeles Galaxy in the local derby.
The Welshman joins an LAFC club that tops the league with 33 points and a 10-3-3 record to set the pace in the Western Conference by four points over Real Salt Lake. | https://www.citizen.co.za/sport/soccer/world-soccer/3128397/los-angeles-confirm-gareth-bale-deal/ | 2022-06-28T09:13:24Z | https://www.citizen.co.za/sport/soccer/world-soccer/3128397/los-angeles-confirm-gareth-bale-deal/ | true | 2 |

Pawan Hans chopper makes emergency landing in Arabian Sea, 5 rescued
Mumbai: A Pawan Hans helicopter made an emergency landing in the Arabian Sea water near the Sagar Kiran oil-rig off Mumbai High Fields, around 175 km off the country’s commercial capital, official sources said here on Tuesday.
The chopper was carrying at least 7 passengers and 2 pilots and at least 5 have been saved from the sea-water so far.
The rescue was carried out by ONGC vessel Malviya-16 and a boat from the oil rig Sagar Kiran, while the Indian Coast Guard has also deployed its aerial and marine assets in the efforts.
The cause of the emergency landing on water is not immediately clear and rescue operations are underway, said an ONGC official.

Malaysia doubles down on AUKUS submarine concerns during Wong visit
Kuala Lumpur: Malaysia has reinforced its concerns about Australia’s plans for a nuclear-powered submarine fleet after a “very candid” discussion between Foreign Minister Penny Wong and her Malaysian counterpart on Tuesday.
The south-east Asian nation joined Indonesia in expressing anxiety about the submarine ambitions soon after the AUKUS three-way defence alliance was announced by US President Joe Biden, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and then prime minister Scott Morrison in September, fearing it could instigate a regional arms race.
Malaysian Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob also raised alarm last month about the potential knock-on effects of the deal, warning that if China, for example, wanted to help North Korea buy nuclear-propelled submarines “we can’t say no because AUKUS has set a precedent”.
On Tuesday, as Wong made her first visit to the country of her birth as Australia’s top diplomat, the issue was back on the agenda.
“We had a very candid discussion on AUKUS just now,” Malaysia Foreign Minister Saifuddin Abdullah said.
“I thank the foreign minister for explaining the current government’s position. Malaysia’s position remains the same. This I have mentioned to the foreign minister.”
Australia is yet to decide how its nuclear-powered submarine program will be rolled out in practice and how it will fill a looming capability gap caused by its ageing Collins-class fleet.
There has been a level of acceptance in some corners of south-east Asia about Australia acquiring nuclear technology from either the United States or Britain. Philippine Foreign Secretary Teddy Locsin jnr has backed the pact and Indonesian Defence Minister Prabowo Subianto – a likely presidential candidate again when elections are next held in 2024 – has also adopted a more phlegmatic approach than the official Indonesian line, saying he understands the need of countries to protect their national interests.
Wary of heightening the risk of conflict in the Indo-Pacific, Malaysia has not budged from its stance, though, with Ismail telling the Japanese newspaper Nikkei last month that “on nuclear-powered submarines, we are worried if some other major economies take advantage of AUKUS”.
The deal was inherited by the Labor government but after flying to Kuala Lumpur from Hanoi, where she had met with Vietnamese leaders on Monday, Wong stressed that Australia’s submarine goals were aligned with a commitment to a stable and peaceful region where sovereignty was respected.
“We are not a nuclear power. There are nuclear powers in this region but Australia is not one of them,” she said. “What we are doing is replacing an existing capability with a new capability and that is nuclear-powered submarines.
“I have appreciated the opportunity to explain how we see AUKUS to the [Malaysian] foreign minister and to other counterparts in the visit I have made. It is important that we listen to concerns, that we respond to them respectfully. We hope that over time people’s concerns will be able to be allayed.”
Wong and her counterpart also discussed the human rights crisis in Myanmar, on which Malaysia has taken a lead role on in urging regional action.
Wong is on her second visit to south-east Asia in the less than six weeks since Labor returned to government, having accompanied Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to Indonesia. She has also made three trips to the Pacific in that time.
Australia and Malaysia are long-time security partners including as part of the Five Power Defence Arrangements group, which also includes Britain, Singapore and New Zealand.
As well as regional security and defence cooperation, Saifuddin said he and Wong had discussed working closer together on cybersecurity and on the digital economy.
On Wednesday Wong will also meet with Malaysian Defence Minister Hishammuddin Hussein and Trade Minister Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali before travelling to Kota Kinabalu, the Malaysian city on the island of Borneo where she was born.
“As people know, I was born in Kota Kinabalu and it is a very special day for me to come here representing the country I now am living in,” Wong said.

Hay fever sufferers have been raving about a new pill that has helped to keep symptoms at bay this summer.
The high strength tablet Fexofenadine Hydrochloride - which is being sold under the brand names Allevia and Treathay - was previously only available through prescription.
But now shoppers can simply pick it up over the counter at a cost of £4 per box.
The pills are said to be much stronger than the traditional treatments such as Cetirizine Hydrochloride and Loratadine.

And users have claimed that the pills are making them feel like their hay fever does not exist this time around.
But due to the quality of them, Leicestershire Live reports that supply is struggling to keep up with demand.
One hay fever sufferer said: “I went to three different supermarkets trying to find it. It was completely sold out in Asda Handsworth in Sheffield, and it was sold out at another two in Leeds.
"I bought some online but even on Amazon Prime, there's about a week long delay on orders and it took a week to arrive on the 'next day' delivery service. The reason is, it works. It's much more potent than regular hay fever tablets, so my reactions are much more under control.
"I don't know what I would have done without it this year, when the pollen has been absolutely crazy. Last year I got some on prescription, but now they're available over the counter it's much easier and cheaper to get hold of them - until they all sell out."
Other hay fever sufferers agree with how good the tablets are. On social media, Ben Newmark said he hadn't "felt this good in the summer for a decade".
Matty Ester added: "I have gone from having the worst hay fever you will ever see anyone have in your whole life, to feeling like I’ve never had it. Allevia, you have cured me.”
@Nikk1noodles said: "Fexofenadine aka Allevia 120mg over the counter at Boots. Took a couple of days to kick in but this week I've been hay fever-free. No itching, no eye drops, no nasal sprays. 10/10 would recommend."
@therealmadrina said: "Them Allevia hay fever tablets are defo worth the money tbh - they’ve been working wonders for me"
@RettsUK said: "Guys Allevia truly are the best hay fever tablets. I suffer from hay fever badly but with one a day, I haven’t even had the slightest nose twitch in weeks!"
@28shan said: "Those Allevia tablets have made forget that I even suffer from hay fever they are literally the best".

Croda International Plc (LON:CRDA), the company that uses smart science to create high performance ingredients and technologies that improve lives, has announced that it has entered into a cooperative agreement with the United States government in which the government will provide up to $75 million to expand the company’s U.S. manufacturing capacity of ingredients for lipid systems used in novel therapeutic drugs, such as mRNA vaccines.
In line with the company’s strategy to ‘Empower Biologics Delivery,’ Croda will also invest up to $58 million, bringing the total project investment to up to $133 million. This spend is included within the company’s existing capital expenditure programme, outlined in the 2021 annual results.
The investment will be used to establish a new lipid facility as part of a new multi-purpose cGMP* site in Lamar, Pennsylvania. Construction is expected to start later this year, with the new capacity anticipated in 2025. The investment supports expansion of the portfolio of patient health care solutions offered by Croda, by creating a third manufacturing site for lipid systems, alongside Croda’s existing Alabaster, Alabama, U.S. (Avanti) and Leek, United Kingdom capabilities.
The cooperative agreement is a joint award from the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), part of Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of Defense’s Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense (JPEO-CBRND) in partnership with the Army Contracting Command’s Joint COVID Response Division (ACC JCRD). The new facility is part of a programme to expand the U.S. industrial base supporting critical vaccine and therapeutic manufacturing activities. The facility at Lamar will support U.S. preparedness for future health emergencies, by ensuring enough capacity is available in the U.S. to produce the necessary components for vaccine manufacture.
Croda’s Pharma business is a leading partner in the development of delivery systems for biologics. Croda’s platforms enable the next generation of vaccines and therapeutics. Through acquisition of Avanti Polar Lipids in 2020, Croda was the first company to supply clinical and commercial quantities of critical lipid systems to support the roll-out of COVID-19 vaccines globally.
Lipid systems offer significant potential as the delivery system for a wide range of nucleic acid applications, including novel mRNA-based therapeutics, such as flu vaccines and cancer treatments. Given the scale of the current clinical development pipeline, the market for lipid systems is expected to grow significantly over the next ten years.
Commenting, Daniele Piergentili, President of Croda Life Sciences, said: “We are grateful to the U.S. government for its support of Croda. The delivery technology based on lipid systems offers significant potential for the safe and efficient delivery of next generation vaccines and therapeutic drugs. As a result of this investment, Croda will be able to expand its capabilities to develop and manufacture ingredients in support of this important technology.

Global revenue from car and bike sharing may rise 40% by 2030
Mobility services including car rentals, ride hailing and bike-sharing apps are expected to generate annual revenue of $660bn (R10.5-trillion) in 2030, according to a just-released study by the Oliver Wyman Forum and the Institute of Transportation studies at the University of California, Berkeley. The figure represents a nearly 40% increase from the $260bn (R4.1-trillion) in revenue generated in 2020.
The services will significantly transform how people get around in cities globally, well beyond traditional public transit and privately owned cars. And with a greater focus on sustainability and alternative energy, such as battery-powered electric vehicles, the services will bring potential benefits for the climate, pollution and the livability of cities.
For example, the researchers found that “by adopting EVs at a faster rate than private car owners, new mobility services could improve air quality, reduce noise levels, and shrink the carbon footprint of cities.”
The study, which analysed 13 services in three regions — North America, Europe and Asia — found that the new services would evolve at different speeds depending on location. Europe will overtake Asia as the fastest-growing electric vehicle market, and Asia will become a larger market for things like bike sharing and moped sharing. Currently, the Asian micromobility market is equal to that of Europe and North America combined but will become larger than the other regions through 2030, according to the report.
Improvements in technology, governmental regulations and consumer mobility demand are expected to drive most of the growth for the entire industry across all regions.
Congestion will remain a concern going forward, given the popularity of ride-sharing over public transit. It’s too soon to know whether the services will reduce congestion over time, according to the researchers.
“While people moving to bicycles and scooters could reduce the number of cars in a city, ride hailing and car sharing may contribute to congestion if commuters choose these services over mass transit,” the report said.
Though some commuters have returned to public transit as Covid-19 fears have waned, these systems remain fragile and vulnerable, weakened from the loss of revenue. “Any long-term shift from mass transit to ride-hailing could not only deprive systems of needed financial support but also lead to congestion,” according to the report.
So cities will need to strike a balance between encouraging new solutions and bolstering mass transit systems, the researchers found. They can do this by consistently investing in infrastructure for mass transit, maintaining affordable fares and creating ecosystems that connect new services with mass transit as much as possible.
“Local authorities will have to decide how much to fund mass transit versus bike lanes or car parking,” said Andreas Nienhaus, a senior partner at Oliver Wyman in a statement. “At all levels of government, technological progress will often outpace regulation — one reason that many cities have adopted public-private partnerships as a means of collaboration.”

Property factoring firm Newton Property Management recorded a 9% increase in revenue during 2021 and is set to grow headcount and strengthen its leadership team.
Posting revenue of £3.78m - up from £3.45m in 2020 - it now manages 28,000 properties across Scotland, with offices in Glasgow, Aberdeen and Inverness.
Newton also recorded transactional turnover of over £20m during the year.
Stephen O’Neill, founder and chair of Newton, said: “Our growth has been split evenly between acquiring businesses and we at Newton have acquired 12 factors businesses over the last 15 years - the other half of our business has come organically through sales.
“This year we have invested a six-figure sum on customer service improvements, and our focus in 2022 is to transform the Newton customer experience, with our overall aim to be the best provider in the sector bar none.”
Newton plans to hire for a number of additional roles this year, growing headcount from 45 to 50.
The property firm has also taken on a headhunter as it looks to strengthen its leadership team with the appointment of a chief executive - a change to a management structure that historically has had joint managing directors in place.
Newton advises developers and homeowners across Scotland, and its Granite Tenement Management service in Aberdeen has been running since a merger with Watt & Co Property Management in 2015.
O’Neill said that Newton continues to look for acquisitions to extend its portfolio and accelerate growth over the next few years.
“Our ambition is to triple or quadruple the size of the business over the next 10 years.
“To date, around half of our growth has been organic, with the other half by way of acquisition, so we’ve always got an eye out for opportunities to add to the portfolio.”
In terms of market trends, O’Neill added: “The Scottish housing market is pulling away at near boiling point and record levels.
“At the same time, standards of housing are improving in part because of new build stock coming onto the market.”
He previously founded O’Neill Letting in 1995, going on to sell the business in 2001.

Australian pop band 5 Seconds Of Summer were forced to cut their Texas show short after drummer Ashton Irwin suffered loss of vision and “symptoms of stroke” while on stage.
The 27-year-old was performing with his 5SOS bandmates – Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford and Calum Hood – in Houston as part of their current US tour.
In a post on Twitter, Irwin explained why the band suddenly left the stage during their show on Sunday, writing: “I suffered from an intense migraine brought on by exhaustion and overheating onstage which made me loose (sic) my vision and gave me symptoms of stroke in the left side of my body. So the decision was to end the show there and then.”
In a number of follow-up tweets, Irwin continued: “It’s always amazing to play a massive energetic show in every environment thrown at us. Unfortunately this time my body gave out due to heat exhaustion. I was in tears in the ambulance, because I feel I’ve let many people down. I’m looking after myself and getting rest now.
“I feel so loved and looked after by my brothers and team and all of you. this is the price a dehydrated drummer pays when he takes on Texas heat. All will be made right, ticketing wise, and rescheduling wise. I love you. Thanks for the love. I’ll be back onstage ASAP! X”
5SOS have released four albums since 2014, and are set to release a fifth, 5SOS5, in September.
The band also took to their official Instagram account to provide an update on Irwin’s health, and announce they would be postponing a forthcoming show.
In an Instagram story they wrote: “Following medical advice, we will be postponing our show in Arkansas tomorrow night. The new date will be July 26th so Rogers, AR, will officially be our last show of the North American TMH tour!
“We are so sorry to cause inconvenience to your plans, but we promise for those of you who can still make it, we will put on the show of your lives.
“In the meantime, please join us in giving Ash the privacy to rest up and get back to full fitness.” | https://www.expressandstar.com/entertainment/showbiz/2022/06/28/5sos-drummer-suffers-symptoms-of-stroke-while-performing-in-texas/ | 2022-06-28T09:36:14Z | https://www.expressandstar.com/entertainment/showbiz/2022/06/28/5sos-drummer-suffers-symptoms-of-stroke-while-performing-in-texas/ | true | 10 |

“On May 29, a case of hijacking was registered at Moorreesburg SAPS after a truck transporting Eskom aluminium overhead cables was hijacked in Piketberg.
“Following an intense investigation and surveillance, the suspects were identified in Cape Town, which led to the identification of the storage place in Trafford Street, Blackheath,” police spokesperson Ndakhe Gwala said.
Gwala said the premises were searched and the rolls of aluminium cables seized.
Eight suspects aged between 29 and 49 were arrested for the possession of stolen goods and for contravening the Second-Hand Goods Act.

In France, the homeland of dramatists Racine and Corneille, a rather crude political melodrama is being played out these days. In the leading role is none other than the ‘Jupiterian president’ himself: Emmanuel Macron, who has had to face the verdict of the electorate twice within just a few weeks – once as head of state, and then as the central star of his reform movement, which has once again been rebranded (this time as ‘Renaissance’). In supporting roles, the usual suspects: a blustering Jean-Luc Mélenchon, a Marine Le Pen who had undergone a self-assessment, plus the usual round of ex-presidents, trendy candidates, and worldwide news coverage from all over the world on the alert for a surprise française.
Already during the first act, Macron’s re-election in April, the Pyrrhic undertone with which he commented on the success of the old and new president was irritating. Regardless of the fact that the usual prophecies of doom – a Le Pen victory, France’s exit from the EU, liberal-democratic agony – had once again been shattered at the ballot boxes, the press was full of a strange, excessive ‘another victory like this and we are lost’ melancholy. Macron, they said, had only narrowly escaped defeat, Le Pen was the moral winner, and the disintegration of the liberal centre was a fait accompli anyway. These amounted to sibylline whispers that had little in common with the realities of the election.
In the opinion business, it is well known that bad news is good news, but this type of reporting was not comprehensible, even taking journalistic exaggeration into account. Certainly, Macron’s runoff result (58.5 per cent), was relatively modest compared to the miraculous 67 per cent of five years earlier; but measured against Fifth Republic electoral standards, it was still a veritable landslide and the third-best result since 1958. Mind you, this is also the case compared to other presidential democracies, where such clear results are rare exceptions. In Peru, for example, if Pedro Castillo defeats the dictator’s daughter Keiko Fujimori by a margin of a few thousand votes, that’s enough to celebrate him as triumphant; in the case of France, however, even a comfortable margin of millions of votes does not seem convincing enough.
The second act
Finally, last week, this irritating overture was followed by the second act of the National Assembly elections, which are usually seen as a tedious obligatory exercise to confirm the presidential mandate. Here too, Macron, or rather his centrist Ensemble coalition, succeeded in claiming victory. In the end, they garnered a lead of over one hundred and ten seats (245 to 131) over the left-wing ecological electoral alliance NUPES, which includes the Parti socialiste, the ecological EELV and the Mélenchon’s La France Insoumise movement. However, Macron is now short of the 44 seats required for an absolute majority, which is generally granted to the incumbent.
By no means have all post-war presidents been lucky enough to be able to rely on a tame national assembly throughout their term.
The deputies of the Ensemble centrist alliance will therefore have to rely on cooperation with other parliamentary groups in future. So far, so simple, but this realisation once again gave rise to the well-known discourse of constant concern mixed with the urge to dramatise, and even drifted into the necrological. In the German press, for exmaple, Martina Meister saw the ‘early end of an era’ in the world, and the veteran opinion writer Hugo Müller-Vogg even demoted Macron to the status of a French lame duck: ‘Olaf Scholz must now lead the EU.’
Now it can hardly be denied that the loss of an absolute majority is a setback for the president and is likely to complicate many legislative projects. But wanting to bury him politically seems to constitute sensationalism, especially since the aforementioned majority, while customary, is ultimately more a matter of habit than a law. By no means have all post-war presidents been lucky enough to be able to rely on a tame national assembly throughout their term. In three cases (Mitterrand/Chirac; Mitterand/Balladur; Chirac/Jospin) the president and prime minister even came from rival parties – an arrangement known in France as ‘cohabitation’.
None of this has meant any interruption in the course of state affairs, especially since a tactically adept president can certainly draw his own advantages from a parliamentary opposition serving as a lightning rod. It is well known that Jacques Chirac’s having had to govern with the socialist Lionel Jospin for five years during his third cohabitation was detrimental only to Jospin.
Chirac, on the other hand, was able to present himself as the victim of an obstructive lower house and throw the unpopular head of government out of the race in the first round of the 2002 presidential election. Unlike ‘Le Bulldozer’, Macron cannot run again (and will not be embarrassed by a Socialist prime minister), but the same applies to him. Difficult parliamentary relations may therefore jeopardise the implementation of individual agenda items, but not necessarily the big picture as a whole.
The parliamentary arithmetic
In addition, the previous asymmetry of power is continued even without a majorité absolue: on the one hand, the parties of the Ensemble are still stronger than the extreme right and left combined and can therefore easily block any opposition proposal; on the other hand, they can put out feelers themselves to bring the more moderate NUPES elements or the conservative Republicans on board, depending on the situation.
Macron has even already met with Le Pen, who has now been chosen leader of her party group – but the public flirtation with the woman who once called him a ‘radical EU extremist’ should above all serve to discipline other possible cooperation partners. This is true to the motto that the chef can choose his waiter but not vice versa. Although representatives of the parliamentary competition are still reluctant to make an all too open commitment to cooperation, this hesitation seems to be more a matter of theatre than actual resistance.
The performance of the Rassemblement National under the youthful Jordan Bardella is also ultimately far less impressive than one might initially think.
Finally, as far as the competitive dimension is concerned, the NUPES alliance, which was acclaimed on the left, was unquestionably successful compared to the disastrous result in 2017, but undermined the public-opinion expectations even more clearly than Ensemble did. The polling institute Ifop had predicted 160 to 190 seats for the alliance two days before the election; their competitor Cluster17 even came up with 170 to 220 (and thus a result within striking distance of the majorité relative). In the end these heights were not even remotely reached. The fact that NUPES is not intended to be a long-term project and will not form a joint parliamentary group is also likely to have a dampening effect on the euphoria, as will the fact that two-thirds of all left-wing candidates lost out in the direct second round duels with Ensemble.
The performance of the Rassemblement National under the youthful Jordan Bardella is also ultimately far less impressive than one might initially think. A phenomenal 89 seats, a tenfold increase over the previous result, a success that ‘sends shock waves through the political establishment’ and is tantamount to an ‘earthquake’ – all this sounds like a turning point and, to use the mot du jour, a ‘Zeitenwende’. However, when viewed soberly, this remains to be seen, since the 89 deputies make up only around one third of the Ensemble contingent, the tenfold increase is based on a conceivably miniscule starting point of nine seats, and moreover it also seems questionable whether such a minority faction, apart from all symbolic aspects, can actually be said to have the quality of a political ‘earthquake’. In any case, the seismographs have not yet recorded anything.
A media frenzy
Ultimately, a look at the competition leads us back to the peculiar drama of reporting, for which every scratch on the incumbent is tantamount to an almost fatal wound, and every partial success of his opponents is an Agincourt-level victory. One could almost suspect an anti-Macron agenda, but it is more likely a desire for alarmism, an urge to indulge in the worst scenario imaginable, to which large parts of the reception of politics are falling victim these days.
However, it is obvious that interpreting victories as defeats and conjuring up an end or a downfall at every available opportunity contributes very little to understanding the situation. In the case of the parliamentary elections, the following is relevant: Did Macron win? Yes. Did he win by a wide margin over the competition? Yes. Did he win by a sufficient margin? No. Does he belong politically in a coffin and consigned to oblivion? No. Will he find ways to organise majorities despite everything? As it stands now, one should assume so. | https://www.ips-journal.eu/topics/democracy-and-society/no-emmanuel-macron-isnt-doomed-6024/ | 2022-06-28T09:46:31Z | https://www.ips-journal.eu/topics/democracy-and-society/no-emmanuel-macron-isnt-doomed-6024/ | true | 1 |
Man City legend Fernandinho agrees free transfer to Athletico Paranaense as Brazilian returns to boyhood club
FERNANDINHO has sealed an emotional return to Athletico Paranaense 17 years having run his contract down at Manchester City.
The Citizens legend, who made 383 appearances during his nine years at the Etihad, has penned a two-year contract at the club in Curitaba, in the south of Brazil.
Former Shakhtar Donestsk midfielder Fernandinho came through the ranks at his boyhood club before making his professional debut in 2002.
The 37-year-old spent three years in the first team at the Brazilian outfit before he departed for Ukraine in 2005.
But he has decided to link up with boss Luiz Felipe Scolari at his old stomping ground after turning down offers from multiple clubs.
Speaking at his unveiling on Monday, the Samba star said: "Without a doubt, I am fulfilling a personal wish, a dream to wear the Athletico shirt again.

"Not only my heart, but all of us ended up speaking louder at that moment."
President Mario Celso Petraglia added: "Athletico's dream is coming true, to return to his home.
"We kept in touch all these years, since he was sold to Shakhtar Donetsk. We follow his spectacular career.
"He was, without demerit to the others, the athlete who had the most prominence among those who passed here.
"Kleberson was five-time world champion, but he didn't have the career that Fernandinho managed to develop.
"It will help us in this level change that we are working on. Getting Fernandinho in was not easy. He showed from the first moment that his intention was to return to Athletico.
"But the pressure of the whole world and of several Brazilian clubs, wanting to have him in the group. He remained faithful, the good son to the house makes." | https://www.the-sun.com/sport/football/premier-league/5654354/man-city-fernandinho-athletico-paranaense-free-transfer/ | 2022-06-28T09:46:50Z | https://www.the-sun.com/sport/football/premier-league/5654354/man-city-fernandinho-athletico-paranaense-free-transfer/ | false | 4 |

A man was killed and two others were injured, including rap star Ludacris’ manager, in a parking lot shooting in an upscale neighborhood north of downtown Atlanta on Sunday night. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that the men were all taken to hospitals, where one was pronounced dead. The Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office later identified the man as Artez Benton, 23, of Scottdale. Monday afternoon, Atlanta police confirmed one of the two injured men was Chaka Zulu, the longtime manager of musician Ludacris. The conditions of Zulu and the other man were not released. Police Lt. Germain Dearlove told local news media that the shooting was the “result of a dispute in the parking lot.”

Marc Jacobs’ runway show in the grand, marbled lobby of the New York Public Library came exactly a year after his previous show in the same venue — the first in-person runway show since the pandemic had shut things down for a couple of seasons. It would have been hard back then to imagine that a year later, the pandemic would by no means be over. But New York hums along nonetheless, and so did Jacobs’ runway. Like last year, there was a futuristic feel to his designs, with outsized proportions, shiny materials, whimsical shapes and lots of color.

MSNBC says that journalist Alex Wagner will take over Rachel Maddow's prime-time slot four nights a week, beginning in August. Wagner has recently worked at CBS News and as co-host of Showtime's “The Circus” before rejoining MSNBC earlier this year. She'll host the 9 p.m. weeknight hour from Tuesday through Friday, beginning Aug. 16. Maddow will continue to fill the time slot on Monday nights. It's a key hire for MSNBC and its president, Rashida Jones, since Maddow has been MSNBC's most popular personality. Maddow's decision earlier this year to cut back on her daily show left the network with a hole to fill.

Federal authorities have seized six websites that prosecutors say were illegally distributing copyrighted music to millions of users. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia announced the seizures Monday of the websites that primarily targeted Latin music. According to an affidavit, agents began investigating the websites in April after a music industry consortium complained. The websites _ Corourbanos.com, Corourbano.com, Pautamp3.com, SIMP3.com, flowactivo.co and Mp3Teca.ws _ collectively reached about 6.6 million users per month. According to the affidavit, the pirated music drew traffic that allowed the website operators to make money by selling ads on the website.

Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said Tuesday that when it comes to the Iranian threat, the government's policy remains the same as with any other enemy, adding that "if you mess with Israel, you pay a price".
Speaking at a conference marking the start of the annual cyber week at Tel Aviv University, the premier said, "my attitude in general when it comes to our enemies - especially Iran - is that we do not work to create destruction and terror, this has never been our policy."
"My policy is that if you mess with Israel - you will pay a price. You will not be able to harm Israel through proxies, Hezbollah or Hamas, thinking you can get away with it."
He added that in today's world it's no longer necessary to send "100-50 commandos behind enemy lines" to inflict damage on adversaries. "Today it is possible to do things - harm the enemy - through cyber warfare.
"Now, all you need is a few people and a keyboard. In the end, cyber will become the most prominent area of combat in the future."
He added: "I am quite surprised by the shortage, or relative shortage, of cyber tools used in the Ukraine war. At the geopolitical level, we see a lot of investment around the world in cyber attacks."
He also acknowledged recent cyber attacks on civilian infrastructure in Israel, saying, "At the end of the day, companies have a personal responsibility that they must take on. If our customers' information is hacked, it's the companies' problem [to deal with].
"At the national level, Israel's cyber defense system works with companies to help them defend themselves. Just as there is nuclear deterrence, there will be cyber deterrence.

PRAGUE (AP) — The Czech Republic has signed deals with Westinghouse Electric Co. and France’s Framatome to deliver fuel supplies for a nuclear power plant, reducing the country’s dependence on Russia.
The Czech state-controlled power company CEZ said on Tuesday that Pennsylvania-based Westinghouse and Framatome will contribute to the country’s energy security by supplying the Temelin nuclear fuel for more than 10 years, starting in 2024. The deal is worth several billion Czech crowns (hundreds of millions of dollars), it said.
The plant’s current supplier is Russia’s TVEL, part of Russian energy giant Rosatom. CEZ said it has fuel enough for the plant for about two years.
“Our goal was to diversify the number of suppliers in order to minimise the risk of possible supply failures for any reason,” Ladislav Stepanek, director at CEZ’s fuel cycle department said.
CEZ operates two 1,000-megawatt reactors at the Temelin plant. Westinghouse had provided fuel supplies to Temelin for 10 years until 2010.
The Czech Republic relies on six nuclear reactors to generate more than a third of its total electricity. Besides the two in Temelin, CEZ operates another four 510-megawatt units at the Dukovany power plant.
Dukovany has been also using nuclear fuel from TVEL.
Unlike its western neighbors Austria and Germany, the Czech Republic is doubling down on nuclear power. CEZ has launched a tender this year to build a new reactor at the Dukovany plant as the country aims to increase nuclear power generation. | https://www.thehour.com/business/article/US-French-companies-to-supply-fuel-to-Czech-17270702.php | 2022-06-28T09:51:38Z | https://www.thehour.com/business/article/US-French-companies-to-supply-fuel-to-Czech-17270702.php | true | 33 |
China halves quarantine time for overseas travellers
Beijing – China on Tuesday reduced the length of mandatory quarantine for inbound travellers, in the biggest relaxation of entry restrictions after sticking to a rigid zero Covid policy throughout the pandemic.
The new guideline cuts the length of mandatory quarantine for overseas travellers to seven days plus three more of home monitoring — a drastic drop from about 21 days of quarantine and home monitoring combined.
China closed off its international borders in March 2020 and the number of international flights is still tightly restricted in an effort to tamp down “imported” virus cases as the pandemic rages elsewhere.
Since then overseas arrivals have faced weeks of strict monitoring and costly quarantine in hotels and designated centres.
Under the latest Covid prevention and control policy guidelines announced by the National Heath Commission and the State Council, inbound travellers entering China will now be required to quarantine centrally for just seven days.
Since April, a growing number of “pilot” cities have already slashed mandatory centralised quarantine for overseas travellers to 10 days, with Beijing reducing quarantine as well last month.
However, scarce international flights are frequently subject to cancellations, as Beijing operates a “circuit breaker” system where routes are temporarily cancelled if enough positive passengers are discovered on board.
– Opening up –
China’s staunch adherence to its zero Covid policy is unlike the rest of the world, which has largely removed most restrictions despite the spread of the highly infectious but less life-threatening Omicron variant.
Earlier this month, China marginally relaxed visa restrictions to allow foreigners to visit direct family members and foreign permanent residents in China.
Chinese aviation regulation officials said at a Friday briefing they are negotiating with more countries to gradually increase the number of flights to China.
In recent weeks, international students from several countries including India and Pakistan have been allowed to return to China for the first time since the pandemic.
However, most analysts believe the resumption of inbound tourism remains far off.
A twice-in-a-decade Communist Party congress where the new top leadership will be announced is set to take place in the autumn, when authorities will be keen to suppress any resurgent domestic outbreaks.
Chinese President Xi Jinping has repeatedly emphasised the correctness of zero Covid despite the mounting costs to China’s stagnant economy.
He vowed in May to “fight against any speech that distorts, questions or rejects China’s Covid-control policy”.
China has also tightly restricted the international travel of its own citizens, who have been barred from making “non-urgent, unnecessary” trips since late 2021 with most passport renewals all but halted.
According to the latest guidelines, the quarantine requirement has also been cut for people identified as close contacts of those infected in outbreaks inside China. | https://www.iraqinews.com/world/china-halves-quarantine-time-for-overseas-travellers/ | 2022-06-28T09:53:16Z | https://www.iraqinews.com/world/china-halves-quarantine-time-for-overseas-travellers/ | true | 11 |

Karnataka: Court sets aside life term of woman who killed her two-month-old daughter
Bengaluru, Jun 28: The Karnataka High Court has set aside a sessions court order of life sentence on a woman from Andhra Pradesh who allegedly killed her two-month-old daughter, and ordered her release from prison.
The Fourth Additional District and Sessions Judge, Madhugiri in Tumakuru district on July 22, 2017, convicted Kavitha, from Madakasira in Sri Sathyasai district of Andhra Pradesh, under Section 302 (punishment for murder) of the Indian Penal Code, to undergo life imprisonment for murder.
Kavitha and her husband Manjunatha had come to a hospital in Koratagere, Tumakuru, Karnataka to treat their child suffering from respiratory problems and epilepsy. Kavitha was also unable to feed her baby. Manjunatha complained to the local police that Kavitha threw the baby in the Suvarnamukhi river on the outskirts of the town on August 24, 2016.
The investigation and trial led to her conviction by the trial court in 2017. A total of 15 witnesses and 16 documents were used by the prosecution to get the conviction. However, the division bench of the High Court comprising Justice K Somashekar and Justice Shivashankar Amarannavar earlier this month allowed the woman's appeal, set aside the conviction, acquitted her and also ordered her release.
"In the instant case, the importance of corroboration of the evidence which was facilitated by the prosecution, it must be positive, cogent, consistent and probabalized that the accused had committed the murder of the deceased," the HC said in the judgement.
However, "in the instant case, though the prosecution subjected examination of PW.1 to PW.15, but no worthwhile evidence has been facilitated by the prosecution for securing the conviction of the accused for the offence under Section 302 of Indian Penal Code," it stated.

Nearly 87 per cent of enterprises in India are likely to increase annual artificial intelligence (AI) spending by more than 10 per cent in the next three years, a new report showed on Tuesday.
Approximately 80 per cent of enterprises in the country have at least one AI model in production, indicating an extensive penetration of AI/machine learning (ML) across enterprises.
Within providers, too, 64 per cent have AI/ML as a core element for many of their products, as against 56 per cent of their global counterparts, according to the report by Bain & Company’s, in collaboration with Microsoft and the Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI).
“While the availability of data and cloud-based infrastructure have aided AI adoption, concerns related to data security, infrastructure, and management continue to be the most significant barriers for enterprises,” said Velu Sinha, Partner, Bain & Company and co-author of the report.
The report was launched by Amitabh Kant, CEO, NITI Aayog, in the presence of top executives from the companies.
The thrust in AI adoption for enterprises is maximum in sectors such as communication, over-the-top (OTT) and gaming, technology, and financial services.
Further, more than 90 per cent of the digital native companies in consumer packaged goods (CPG) and retail and financial services have demonstrated AI/ML adoption.
Nearly 94 per cent of AI adopters are likely to increase the share of AI/ML-based applications in the upcoming three years, said the report.
Cloud platforms and internet of things (IoT) providers emerge ahead among the other segments of providers on the ‘AI Maturity Index’.
More than 80 per cent of the AI/ML features introduced by cloud platforms in India reached production scale and exceeded the expected gains.
“AI offers a huge canvas for enabling homegrown innovation and we have an opportunity to make AI work at scale for India, enabling investment, job creation and inclusion for all,” said Rohini Srivathsa, National Technology Officer, Microsoft India.
While Indian enterprises are keen to build their AI/ML models in-house, they exhibit a preference to buy the scale cloud infrastructure and AI work benches, which helps them to experiment at will on an elastic compute-storage enablement, the report mentioned.
“As the AI landscape is rapidly maturing in India, companies need to understand how to leverage AI to drive business value,” said Dr Shubo Ray, President, IAMAI.

Ruth Langsford issued a heartfelt tribute to her husband Eamonn Holmes for their wedding anniversary over the weekend, with her expressing her everlasting love for him.
The couple, both 62, have been married for 12 years - with them having tied the knot in a star-studded ceremony that was held at The Elvetham hotel in Hampshire back in 2010.
And to mark their anniversary, Ruth posted a selfie of herself and Eamonn - with whom she shares son Jack Holmes, 20 - on Instagram alongside a heartfelt caption.
She wrote in the post on the platform: "Happy Anniversary my love @eamonnholmes." She further commented: "Love you then. Love you still. Always have. Always will."
The post, uploaded on Sunday, featured a photo of the married couple, which appeared to have been taken whilst Ruth and Eamonn were on a recent holiday.
The pair - who used to present This Morning together - are seen cosying up in front of a coastal backdrop, with the couple posing for the camera wearing sunglasses.
The post attracted almost 30,000 likes on the social media platform, with a number of celebrities taking to the comments section to respond to the anniversary.
Among them was Emmerdale actor Lisa Riley, 45, who wrote in the comments section of the post: "Loads and loads of love to you both. Dream team. Happy anniversary."
Carol Vorderman, 61, took the opportunity recall seeing Ruth and Eamonn together for the first time at a party some years ago, with her describing them as a "perfect pair".
Kéllé Bryan, 47 - who is a panelist alongside Ruth on Loose Women - wrote in her response: "Ahh babe happy anniversary to you both. Pray for many more healthy happy years together."

And there was also a comment from one of Ruth's close pals, and former Loose Women panelist, Saira Khan, 52. She wrote: "Love you both with all my heart. Happy anniversary."
It's been more than a decade since Ruth and Eamonn tied the knot, with their wedding having come years into the relationship - which is said to have begun in around 1997.
Eamonn - who has three children from a previous marriage - once described Ruth as the "missing jigsaw piece in his life," adding that he was proud to have married her.
He previously said about Ruth: "She's a wonderful [mum] to Jack, a fantastic partner both personally and professionally [and] I'm proud to say, she's my beautiful wife."

Antarctica’s only native insect is being driven to extinction by global warming, scientists say
Increase of 2C in winter temperature could reduce the miniscule Antarctic midge’s chances of survival, study finds
The only known insect species native to Antarctica is being driven to extinction because of a warming climate, something that could lead to an alteration of the continent’s food web, finds a new study.
The tiny Antarctic midge is a flightless insect smaller than the size of a pea that has evolved to survive in extreme conditions.
But warming winters in the region are now a threat to its existence, said scientists, including Jack Devlin from the University of Kentucky in the US.
They said the insect takes about two years to complete its life cycle, most of which is spend as a larva.
In the new study, published earlier this month in the journal Functional Ecology, researchers evaluated the response of the larvae to simulated winters of about six months at three temperature scenarios – warm (-1C), normal (-3C), and cold (-5C).
In each of these scenarios they placed the larvae into three distinct habitat types in which they are commonly observed – decaying organic matter, living moss and Prasiola crispa algae.
Following the simulated winter periods, scientists measured the larvae’s survival, locomotor activity, tissue damage, energy store levels and molecular stress responses.
The study found that a 2C increase in winter temperature could reduce the insect’s survival rate, with a reduction in its microhabitat’s energy stores.
“Even though terrestrial algae is a common food source for midges, larvae that were kept in algae had low survival across all winter temperatures, although the underlying mechanism for this is unclear,” the scientists said.
These energy deficits can have adverse effects on the insect’s subsequent development and reproduction, they pointed out.
If the larvae burn through more of their energy reserves in warmer winters, “eventually, you’ll end up getting extinction from certain islands,” entomologist Joshua Benoit of the University of Cincinnati, who was not involved in the work, told Science magazine.
Since Antarctica has very few species that live only on land, the loss of the native midge may also potentially reshape the continent’s food web, said scientists.
However, a reduced duration of winter due to the climate crisis “may negate” some impacts observed in the study, they said, adding that future studies will be needed to assess this factor.
“To our knowledge, this is the first study to simulate a full-length winter and determine physiological costs of variable winter environments in an Antarctic arthropod,” they wrote in the study.
“Our results suggest that continued winter warming in the Antarctic Peninsula may negatively impact cold-adapted invertebrates and their associated soil communities,” scientists said.

Kildare's Emma Kielty
Meath 2-18
Kildare 2-8
A poor start followed by a poor finish saw Kildare camogie side fall to a ten point defeat at the hands of Meath in the Glen Dimplex Camogie Intermediate Championship and now they must take on Cork as they bid to avoid relegation.
It was Meath who opened the scoring with a brace of points from Sinead Hackett before Sophia Payne added to the Royals cause at this game played at Rathmolyon GAA on Saturday.
A further two points from Meath left them holding a five point advantage before Kildare were able to get to the pace of the tie.
A ninth minute point from Emer Reilly opened their efforts before Meath added two more through Jane Dolan and Aoife Minogue.
Leah Sutton looked to stabilise Kildare with a second point mid way through the half but Meath again responded quickly.
Working her way into the tie, the Broadford forward added a second as Kildare soon got the measure of Meath and began trading scores.
With the half almost coming to a close a strike from Minogue looked to have drifted wide only for the referee to spot an off-the-ball infringement close to goal. Jane Dolan stood over the sliotar just outside the twenty yard line and striking low and hard she gave Eimear Stirling no opportunity to make the save.
Two late points from Roisin Forde and Sutton before the break saw Kildare finish the half on a high but with six points separating the sides at the break Kildare manager, Joe Quaid, was going had some work to do at the break to turn it around.
On the restart Kildare refused to allow Meath to get the same start to this period as they did at the beginning. A Dolan free was quickly responded to by Ciara Egan who netted past Maggie Randle.
The Meath full forward added two more frees before Kildare looked to drag themselves into the tie with Forde finishing off a fine Kildare move with a green flag.
A Sutton free from the defence found Egan, controlling the sliotar, Egan hand passed to Forde. Taking on three Meath defenders, Forde ginked and spun past the challenge to find herself to the left of goal. With Randle covering most of the area that Forde looked to shoot towards, she struck and finding the top right corner, netted to leave three separating the sides and fourteen minutes remaining.
A further point from Sutton had Kildare trailing by two as a sense of belief finally appeared to fall over them.
Looking to build on this Kildare were pushing forward. However when Shauna Mulligan picked up a red card the numerical disadvantage that Meath now had began to take its toll.
A goal and two points from Niamh Daly followed by two Dolan frees without reply had The Royals once more ten points to the good and with the tie into injury time it was clear to see Kildare were now planning for their tie against Cork next weekend.
A late trading of points did nothing to change the scoreboard as Kildare slumped to a ten point defeat which will hurt the side as they now face Cork in seven days hoping for victory as they look to stave off a possible regelation battle if today’s feat awaits them on their travels.

The generations that brought bolognese and yeeros to Australia from southern Europe after World War II are being overtaken by younger migrants from across southern Asia who have popularised momos and chai.
Census data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows migration from Mediterranean countries such as Italy and Greece peaked in the post-war decades, while migration from countries including Nepal, India and the Philippines has taken off only in the past 20 or 30 years.
At the time of the 2021 census, 163,300 people living in Australia were born in Italy. The vast majority (109,400) emigrated in the 1950s or 1960s. The number fell to 11,000 in the 1970s, and dropped below 5000 in the 1980s and 1990s, but picked up to 17,900 in the 2010s.
Greek immigration peaked at 44,600 in the 1960s and declined to 1600 in the 2000s before reaching 5900 in the 2010s.
Those immigrants are also ageing.
More than two-thirds of the people born in Italy (68 per cent) are over the age of 65, and their population has fallen by more than a third since the 1991 census, when they numbered 253,400. It’s a similar story for Greek Australians. At census time last year, 92,300 people reported they were born in Greece, and 73 per cent of those were aged over 65. That population has fallen from 135,900 in 1991.
While the COVID-19 pandemic affected the flow of migrants into Australia, more than 1 million people have arrived in the country since 2017 and 850,000 of those came before the end of 2019. Many were from India and Nepal.
Teresa Dickinson, deputy Australian statistician and the senior responsible officer for the census, said the national survey showed emerging communities within the country.
“We’ve seen the largest increase in country of birth outside of Australia being India, with 220,000 additional people counted, making India now the second-highest overseas-born population after England ... leapfrogging China and New Zealand,” she said on Tuesday.
It takes the total number of people born in India and living in Australia to 673,350.
The population born in Nepal had more than doubled since the last census, Dickinson said, rising to 122,500 in 2021.
“This change can be seen with Nepali being one of the top-five languages now in Canberra and Tasmania,” Dickinson said.
The increase in migration from southern Asia is also reflected in the changing religious beliefs of Australia: Hinduism, the dominant religion in Nepal and India, has grown by 55.3 per cent to be followed by 2.7 per cent of the population.
Unlike the large numbers of continental Europeans, including people from Croatia and Germany, that drove the post-war migration boom in Australia, there were no Nepali migrants recorded by the ABS in the 1950s, and fewer than 50 in the 1970s. But in the first decade of this century, nearly 24,200 people born in Nepal were in Australia, while 93,600 moved here in the 2010s.
Similarly, there were few migrants from India in the 1950s, but that number has grown from 10,600 in the 1970s, to 37,200 in the 1990s, 210,300 in the 2000s and nearly 370,600 in the 2010s.
The recent surge in migration from those countries is reflected in the ages of those populations. The majority of them are young: 62 per cent of those born in India were aged between 25 and 44 in 2021, while more than two in three of the people born in Nepal were aged between 25 and 44 at the time of the census and one in four were aged 15 to 24.
Thirty-six per cent of the Indian-born population lives in greater Melbourne. Melbourne also has a higher proportion of people born in Greece (49 per cent) and Italy (36 per cent).
The number of migrants from the Philippines has also soared, from 69,250 in the 2000s to 122,800 last decade. The vast majority (more than 91,300) live in Sydney, while 43 per cent of the 549,600 people born in China also live in the Greater Sydney region.

‘He’s been moaning for years!’ - Liverpool's Klopp panned by Everton star Townsend after 'getting his way again'
Everton winger Andros Townsend has accused Jurgen Klopp of “moaning for years”, with if felt that the Liverpool manager has got “his way again” as the Premier League prepares to allow five substitutions in the 2022-23 campaign.
Rules in the English top-flight are being tinkered with after pressure was placed on the relevant authorities to permanently implement changes that were first introduced on the back of the coronavirus-enforced break to the 2019-20 season.
Klopp was vocal in his calls for the Premier League to fall in line with other divisions across Europe when it comes to upgrade on the established three substitution code, with those working with the biggest squads considered to benefit most from a re-writing of the rulebook, and Townsend is not surprised that pressure has paid off.

- Hit or miss? Rating the Brazilians to have played for Arsenal
- From trialists in flip-flops to five titles in a row: How Juventus changed women's football in Italy
Does Liverpool boss Klopp moan a lot?
Former England international Townsend, who has been a direct rival of Liverpool at Everton since the summer of 2021, has told talkSPORT: “I love how Jurgen Klopp has found a way to get his way again.
“He’s been moaning for years. They have been pushing back and finally they have given in and given him his five subs. And he will probably still use two or three in the biggest games. But, hey, who are we to argue with him?
“I think in the biggest games Liverpool and City, they use one or two subs. They don’t use the full three subs.
“I think it’s the games against Crystal Palace or Brentford, where they can’t break teams down, it’s 0-0, they have 11 behind the ball. 'Right, can we bring on five world-class internationals who are fresh who can change the game? Can we bring them on to break down this stubborn defence?' And that’s where I think it becomes a bit unfair.”
Townsend added: “I don’t think it makes it less competitive. It’s still going to be the most competitive league in the world. I just think it gives those top sides an extra advantage.
“Hopefully my side is one of those teams that will have the advantage with the squad that we’re looking to build.
“And, on a personal level coming back from an ACL injury, five subs will probably suit me. But I just think, on the whole, it suits your Jurgen Klopps and your Pep Guardiolas who have 30 world-class internationals.”
Does Klopp have too much power?
Those in charge of the biggest clubs are always going to shout the loudest, but Townsend believes they have been afforded too much of a say when it comes to influencing decisions outside of their respective workplaces.
Quizzed on how much power Klopp has, the 30-year-old forward said: “Clearly a lot.
“I think we saw last season, and even the season before, just the constant banging on, banging on about votes, on votes, on votes, getting pushed back and then, all of a sudden, they announce the five subs bench.
“I think as well, last season, again, moaning about the schedule, moaning about this, moaning about that… all of a sudden BT Sport put a Liverpool game on Saturday night, which I’ve never seen before in the Premier League.
“So obviously all of this moaning and moaning puts pressure on the authorities to give him what he wants, and he has got what he wants on many occasions.”

SHENZHEN, China, June 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- On June 27, "2022 Qianhai Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao-Taiwan Youth Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition" was officially kicked off, marking the start of series of activities "Shenzhen-Hong Kong Cooperation to Create the Future" to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the return of Hong Kong to the motherland, according to Authority of Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Modern Service Industry Cooperation Zone.
For many ambitious young people, this promises more opportunities and a better start. Sunny Zhou, a young lady from Guangdong, is director of a Macao-funded company. Her project won the silver medal in the finals of the competition last year. "The contest has provided us an opportunity to meet many industry experts and entrepreneurial partners from different places, and has brought us new ideas for entrepreneurship," said Sunny Zhou.
To provide greater support to participants, this year's competition is fully upgraded. The winning projects can directly advance to the Industry Finals of China (Shenzhen) Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition. Professional mentors are introduced to provide one-on-one counseling. Besides, the winners can be given priority to settle in Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Youth Innovation and Entrepreneur Hub (QSHKYIEH) and enjoy relevant preferential policies. The event will also carry out activities such as Creator Camp, Entrepreneurial Counseling Sessions and Investment Matchmaking Sessions to build a good platform for the youth to communicate, cooperate and advance. The competition has set four sub-regions, with a total prize of more than CNY7 million.
The event has been held for six consecutive years since 2016, taking in altogether about 6,000 entries, including nearly 3,000 from Hong Kong, Macao and other places. By promoting the transformation of relevant scientific and technological achievements, Qianhai has become a "dream-big place" for many youths.
Lee Jee Bong from Hong Kong, who has once taken part in the contest, is one of such entrepreneurs in Qianhai. Last year, the project of his company was awarded the silver prize in the Enterprise Growth Category of the competition finals. "The technical requirements of our product are high, and we need plenty of professional talents. Qianhai has policies and services appealing to talents, so excellent heads and minds gather. It is easy to get access to the Greater Bay Area and the broader domestic market. That's why we are based here," said Lee Jee Bong.
"QSHKYIEH is where our dream started and will be the place where we can fulfill our dream," said Lee Jee Bong. The QSHKYIEH he mentioned is well-renowned in Hong Kong's entrepreneurial youth circle and considered by many Hong Kongers as the first choice to start a business. Here, a whole chain of innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem has been established with "six chains in one": innovative chain, industrial chain, capital chain, policy chain, information chain and talent chain, and a large number of young entrepreneurial teams from Hong Kong have concentrated here. By the end of May, 2022, QSHKYIEH has incubated a total of 591 entrepreneurial teams. Recently, Qianhai continues to advance the construction of various areas for the QSHKYIEH to provide more space for young entrepreneurial people; meanwhile, a series of support measures such as issuing special support funds for Hong Kong and Macao youth, implementing 15% corporate income tax, foreign investment incentives, office rent subsidies, etc. to shore up youth entrepreneurship.
At the launching ceremony of the competition, Qianhai released nine practical benefits for Hong Kongers, covering housing, entrepreneurship, services, employment, platform, scientific innovation, finance, settlement, livelihood, etc., aiming to provide comprehensive support for Hong Kongers and Hong Kong enterprises to develop in Qianhai, and to provide facilitations for youths to do business in Shenzhen.
"Qianhai is the bridgehead of Hong Kong-Shenzhen cooperation and the first stop for Hong Kong youth to develop in the mainland. I hope more Hong Kong youth can pursue their dreams and fulfill them in Qianhai and the Greater Bay Area," said Kenneth Fok Kai-kong, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and a member of the Hong Kong Legislative Council, at the launch ceremony.

Penis drawn on wall overshadows Mexican soccer team's kit launch as new shirt goes viral for all the wrong reasons
Kit launches are taking place around the world as clubs release their new designs for 2022, but Mexican side Mineros de Zacatecas have seen some rude graffiti steal the limelight when presenting their offering for the upcoming campaign.
The Liga de Expansion MX outfit have only been in existence since 2014 and currently compete at a semi-professional level.
They are unlikely to have created much of a stir outside of Central America prior to this summer, but they are now going viral for all of the wrong reasons after failing to spot that shots of players in their new kit featured a crude phallic scribbling on the walls behind them.

Why has the Mexican side’s kit launch gone viral?
When looking to put an arty spin on their launch, with first-team stars asked to pose in front of a colourful backdrop, those taking the shots failed to spot that a penis had been scrawled onto the wall they were stood in front of.
Mineros de Zacatecas are now ruing their decision not to double check the imagery before posting it on social media for the world to see.
They are making headlines across the globe, which could be considered a positive on the PR front but is not how they would have wanted to earn such recognition. | https://www.goal.com/en-kw/news/penis-wall-mexican-soccer-team-kit-launch-viral/blt2c8f2128052cf220 | 2022-06-28T10:42:26Z | https://www.goal.com/en-kw/news/penis-wall-mexican-soccer-team-kit-launch-viral/blt2c8f2128052cf220 | true | 7 |
Tributes have been paid to a 35-year-old law graduate who was murdered on her way home from a night out.
Zara Aleena was attacked by a stranger as she walked along Cranbrook Road in Ilford, east London, towards Gants Hill station in the early hours of Sunday morning.
A 29-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and remains in custody.
On Tuesday Ms Aleena’s friend Sophie told BBC News: “She was just a kind soul, the sweetest girl, she could never harm a fly.
“Always polite, always bubbly, the sweetest girl that you could ever meet really. So much going for her.”
According to reports, Ms Aleena had just passed her law degree and was working as an administrative officer at the Royal Courts of Justice.
Her profile on the career networking site LinkedIn said: “My excellent interpersonal skills mean that I like people and they like me. I have strong organisational skills. Additionally, I bring energy, enthusiasm and ambition to any job role that I am in.”
Another friend, Nadia, told The Times: “She was a very gentle soul. She was very helpful to everyone and her neighbours.”
Police said Ms Aleena suffered multiple injuries and it appeared no weapon had been used in the attack.
Figures from the Metropolitan Police show that 14 of the 44 victims of suspected homicides so far in 2022, not including Ms Aleena’a death, were women.
In 11 of these cases the suspect is a relative or friend of the victim, another died in a house fire, and the relationship between suspect and victim in the remaining two is not yet clear.
It is rare for a victim to be murdered in the street by a stranger – according to the Office for National Statistics in the year to the end of March 2021 in England and Wales 6% of female victims and 18% of males were killed by strangers.

In my own personal multiverse collision, BTS headed to the White House today to meet with President Biden. The South Korean super group – RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope Jimin, V and Jungkook attended a press briefing on diversity and inclusion as well as the surge in Asian American hate crimes.
To mark the end of AAPI heritage month, the group took to the White House podium alongside White House Press Secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre. The group's leader. RM, addressed the room in English while the other members relayed their thoughts in Korean through an interpreter.
RM opened their speeches by introducing the group and thanking the President and White House for allowing the space for this discussion to take place. Later he added that this discussion is a reminder of what they are able to do as artists.
"It is a great honor to be invited to the White House today to discuss important issues of anti-Asian hate crimes, Asian inclusion and diversity," he said.
Since the start of the pandemic, there has been a serious uptick in the number of hate crimes faced by those of AAPI descent. Stop Asian Hate reported almost 11,000 cases of hate crimes from the start of the pandemic in March 2020 through to December 2021, alone.
Having been victim to many instances of anti-Asian discrimination themselves, the group opened up about the importance of diversity and inclusion. Each member of the group took to the podium to express their thoughts on anti-Asian discrimination, AAPI month, the power of diversity in music and their love for their fans, ARMY.
"We were devastated by the recent surge of hate crimes, including Asian American hate crimes. To put a stop on this and support the cause, we'd like to take this opportunity to voice ourselves once again," said Jimin.
This is not the first time the group has spoken out about anti-asian racism and discrimination. Last March, following a series of shootings in spas in Atlanta, the group took to Twitter to address the incident and surge of discrimination.
"We recall moments when we faced discrimination as asians. We have endured expletives without reason and were even mocked for the way we look." they said at the time,"We stand against racial discrimination."
A year later, speaking at the White House, they continued to express their thoughts on the matter.
"It's not wrong to be different," BTS member Suga said through an interpreter. "Maybe equality begins when we open up and embrace all of our differences".
"Everyone has their own history, we hope today is one step forward to respecting and understanding each and every one as a valuable person," V said.
Meanwhile, other members reflected on the diversity of their fanbase and the ways in which music has the power to transcend racial and cultural differences.
The group did not take questions and later joined President Biden for a private discussion on the matters discussed above.

Which travel coffee maker is best?
When it comes to a long road trip, there’s nothing like a nice cup of coffee to keep you going. Still, interrupting your journey to find a cafe can be cumbersome. Luckily, numerous travel coffee makers allow you to make a fresh cup of coffee from your car, no matter where you are.
The Makita Lithium-Ion Cordless Coffee Maker, for example, will enable you to make a hot cup of coffee in about 5 minutes without having to plug it into an outlet.
What to know before you buy a coffee maker for your road trip
Can road-trip coffee makers be hazardous?
Coffee makers designed to plug into your car’s cigarette lighter should be used with extreme caution, as some of them may cause your outlet’s fuse to blow. Still, many coffee makers with cigarette lighter plugs work just fine, with nearly no added risk. Of course, it’s only a good idea to buy this type of coffee maker if their reviews indicate that previous customers haven’t had electrical issues while using them.
Some road trip coffee makers are powered with rechargeable batteries, making them even safer. Others will require you to add your own hot water, alleviating the stress of blown fuses but making them less convenient overall.
Can you use road-trip coffee makers while the vehicle is in motion?
Using travel coffee makers while the vehicle is in motion isn’t recommended. Although some travel coffee makers form a tight seal and theoretically keep hot water from escaping, many do not. Buying a coffee maker that can brew your drink quickly will give you the freedom to pull over in any safe location, brew a cup of coffee and get right back to your trip.
Coffee maker for camping vs. coffee maker for road trips
Some camp coffee makers also make great road trip coffee makers, but this isn’t always the case. Many camp coffee makers work in tandem with camp stoves, which can be unsafe to use inside a vehicle. Other camp coffee makers use their own propane heating source, which is also not ideal for use inside of a vehicle. Still, some coffee makers, such as manual coffee presses, are excellent for both camping and road trips.
What to look for in a quality coffee maker for your road trip
Compact design
When buying a travel coffee maker, you’ll want to ensure it’s compact enough to carry around with you on your road trip. Many travel coffee makers are roughly the size of a travel mug, whereas others are slightly larger but feature handles that make them easy to pack around. Some coffee makers even allow you the freedom to drink straight from the receptacle the coffee is brewed in, making them both compact and convenient.
Convenient
If you’re buying a travel coffee maker to alleviate the inconvenience of stopping to buy coffee, you’ll want to ensure you don’t buy one that’s even less convenient than stopping at a cafe. Many travel coffee makers feature permanent drip filters, self-cleaning functions and other features that make them incredibly easy to use while traveling.
Added functionality
If you only intend to use your device for a quick cup of coffee, added features may not be an essential consideration. Still, many travel coffee makers allow you to make espresso or cold brew in addition to traditional coffee. Some travel coffee makers are even compatible with Keurig or Nespresso capsules, making it even easier to make unique drinks on the road.
How much you can expect to spend on a coffee maker for your road trip
You can buy a capable coffee press for around $25-$40. On the other hand, electric travel coffee makers can run you around $100-$150.
Travel coffee maker FAQ
How many ounces of coffee can a travel coffee maker brew?
A. Many travel coffee makers brew around 5 ounces of coffee at a time, whereas others can brew up to 16 ounces at a time.
How long do travel coffee makers take to brew coffee?
A. Although time can vary, many travel coffee makers take only 5 minutes to brew a cup of coffee.

Leah Williamson says she feels a sense of “responsibility rather than pressure” as she prepares to captain England at a home Euros.
The 25-year-old has also spoken about how she has been taking note of the behaviour of other captains, including England cricket skipper Ben Stokes.
Having been given the armband by boss Sarina Wiegman in a number of games through the season in the absence of the injured Steph Houghton, Williamson was then confirmed as Lionesses captain for this summer’s Euros in April.
She heads into the showpiece with her previous senior major tournament experience featuring one substitute appearance at the 2019 World Cup in France, as well as playing three times for Great Britain at the Tokyo Olympics last year.
And when asked about the pressure of going from that brief World Cup cameo to the current situation, the Arsenal defender said: “It’s funny. I think on paper it looks like a pressurised situation, but I don’t feel that at the minute. I’m still finding my way with it.
“I’m not pretending to know all the answers – maybe it’s because I’m not pretending to know the answers, or to be the most ready I’ve ever been. I’ve got processes in place I’ve been using for the last however long in my career for dealing with pressure and things like that.
“It’s not that I’ve been put on a pedestal, I’m just the same, it’s just I have this extra responsibility. And I take it more as a responsibility rather than pressure.
“I do feel like I would have given anything to get on the pitch (with England), so I don’t intend to waste a second now not enjoying it.
“The influence all the people I’ve played under has had on me is quite a nice mix. I’ve had leaders on the pitch, off the pitch, and I’ve had quite a lot of influence from all of those people.
“I do like observing other captains and seeing how they behave and then seeing what kind of character, person and player I am.
“For example, I watched Ben Stokes the other day and I was listening to his presentation and what he wants from his team, so to speak. It’s not the same conversation (I might have) but in terms of those little nuggets of information I think it really helped.”
England were recently in camp at St George’s Park at the same time as the men’s side.
Williamson added: “I didn’t actually get a chance to speak to Harry (Kane) which would have been really good, but maybe I will do (in the future).
“I spoke to Kieran Trippier for quite a long time when they invited us to speak with him and Declan (Rice). It was nice, just hearing what they went through (during their Euros last summer) so we can be proactive.”
Williamson is working under a manager in Wiegman who guided the Netherlands to Euro 2017 glory, then the 2019 World Cup final and has so far had an unbeaten England tenure – with all but two games won – since taking charge last September.
“Sarina knows what she wants and she’s very, very clear about it. She is a matter-of-fact person and doesn’t really leave many grey areas which I think is a real strength,” Williamson added.
“I have small chats (with her) and I’ll speak about things that need to be spoken about, but it’s not forced and if she needs any information, I’m here and if not, we just kind of facilitate whatever she wants to do. The team is self-sufficient and she’s so clear about what she wants. It’s working well.”
England complete their warm-up fixtures against Switzerland on Thursday, then take on Austria at a sold-out Old Trafford in the opening game of the Euros on July 6, an experience Williamson is keen to share with her family.
Williamson said: “I’ve told (her family) I can never repay the investment they’ve made in me, the money, the time and everything.
“I can never ever, repay that other than giving them experiences, whether it’s them coming to indoor games to watch me or coming to Old Trafford with 70,000 fans. That’s the only way I can ever pay them back, and I’m happy for them that they’re getting to experience that a little more now.
“When my family came to France I had 10 or more people coming to every single game there and yet I played (only a few) minutes. But doesn’t change (anything) as they would be just as proud of me, and for them to be able really to enjoy it now is nice.” | https://www.sportinglife.com/football/news/leah-williamson-embracing-responsibility-of-leading-hosts-england-at-euro-2022/201804 | 2022-06-28T10:51:11Z | https://www.sportinglife.com/football/news/leah-williamson-embracing-responsibility-of-leading-hosts-england-at-euro-2022/201804 | true | 12 |
PRINCETON, N.J., June 28, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clearway Energy, Inc. (: CWEN, CWEN.A) (“Company”) today announced that it has entered into a binding agreement to acquire a portfolio of operating wind projects from Capistrano Wind Partners, LLC (“Capistrano Portfolio”) for, subject to closing adjustments, cash consideration of $255 million, plus the assumption of approximately $160 million of non-recourse debt.
The Capistrano Portfolio consists of five utility-scale wind projects representing 413 MW of capacity located in Texas, Nebraska, and Wyoming that achieved commercial operations between 2008 to 2012. The assets within the portfolio sell power under power purchase agreements with investment-grade counterparties that have a weighted average remaining contract duration of approximately 10 years. The operations, maintenance and asset management of these projects have been and will continue to be provided by subsidiaries of the Company’s sponsor, Clearway Energy Group (“Clearway Group”).
The Capistrano Portfolio will also provide additional growth potential as the Company will have the option to invest in future wind repowering opportunities that will be evaluated in partnership with Clearway Group. Concurrent with the acquisition of the Capistrano Portfolio, the Company has also entered into a Development Agreement with Clearway Group, whereby Clearway Group will pay $10 million to the Company to partially fund the acquisition of the Capistrano Portfolio for an exclusive right to develop, construct, and repower the projects in the Capistrano Portfolio (“Rights Fee”)1.
After factoring in estimated closing adjustments, proceeds from the Rights Fee, and new non-recourse debt, the Company expects its total long-term corporate capital commitment to acquire the Capistrano Portfolio to be approximately $110-130 million2, which the Company expects to fund with cash on hand. Based on current expected terms and conditions of the new non-recourse financing, the acquisition is expected to provide incremental annual levered asset CAFD on a five-year average basis of approximately $12-14 million beginning January 1, 2023. The Company expects the transaction to close in the second half of 2022.
"With this acquisition, Clearway continues its successful track record of executing on third party transactions at attractive economics while further diversifying the Clearway platform on a regional basis. Furthermore, the Development Agreement with Clearway Group further demonstrates the strength of our sponsor by its willingness to invest alongside the Company for potential future growth,” said Christopher Sotos, Clearway Energy, Inc.’s President and Chief Executive Officer. ”The Company has now committed to or has line of sight to the future deployment of over 55% of the $750 million of excess proceeds from the Thermal sale which solidifies Clearway’s ability to achieve the upper range of our 5% to 8% annual dividend growth objective through at least 2026.”

Appendix Table A-1: Adjusted EBITDA and Cash Available for Distribution Reconciliation
The following table summarizes the calculation of Estimated Cash Available for Distribution and provides a reconciliation to Net Income/(Loss):
Non-GAAP Financial Information
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Cash Available for Distribution (CAFD) are non-GAAP financial measures. These measurements are not recognized in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that Clearway Energy’s future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.
EBITDA represents net income before interest (including loss on debt extinguishment), taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is presented because Clearway Energy considers it an important supplemental measure of its performance and believes debt and equity holders frequently use EBITDA to analyze operating performance and debt service capacity. EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
- EBITDA does not reflect cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures, or contractual commitments;
- EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs;
- EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on debt or cash income tax payments;
- Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
- Other companies in this industry may calculate EBITDA differently than Clearway Energy does, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Because of these limitations, EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to use to invest in the growth of Clearway Energy’s business. Clearway Energy compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally. See the statements of cash flow included in the financial statements that are a part of this news release.
Adjusted EBITDA is presented as a further supplemental measure of operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted for mark-to-market gains or losses, non-cash equity compensation expense, asset write offs and impairments; and factors which we do not consider indicative of future operating performance such as transition and integration related costs. The reader is encouraged to evaluate each adjustment and the reasons Clearway Energy considers it appropriate for supplemental analysis. As an analytical tool, Adjusted EBITDA is subject to all of the limitations applicable to EBITDA. In addition, in evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, the reader should be aware that in the future Clearway Energy may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this news release.
Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating our operating performance because it provides them with an additional tool to compare business performance across companies and across periods. This measure is widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items such as interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired.
Additionally, Management believes that investors commonly adjust EBITDA information to eliminate the effect of restructuring and other expenses, which vary widely from company to company and impair comparability. As we define it, Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA adjusted for the effects of impairment losses, gains or losses on sales, non-cash equity compensation expense, dispositions or retirements of assets, any mark-to-market gains or losses from accounting for derivatives, adjustments to exclude gains or losses on the repurchase, modification or extinguishment of debt, and any extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items plus adjustments to reflect the Adjusted EBITDA from our unconsolidated investments. We adjust for these items in our Adjusted EBITDA as our management believes that these items would distort their ability to efficiently view and assess our core operating trends.
In summary, our management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of operating performance to assist in comparing performance from period to period on a consistent basis and to readily view operating trends, as a measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations, and in communications with our Board of Directors, shareholders, creditors, analysts and investors concerning our financial performance.
Cash Available for Distribution
A non-GAAP measure, Cash Available for Distribution is defined as of March 31, 2022 as Adjusted EBITDA plus cash distributions/return of investment from unconsolidated affiliates, cash receipts from notes receivable, cash distributions from noncontrolling interests, adjustments to reflect sales-type lease cash payments and payments for lease expenses, less cash distributions to noncontrolling interests, maintenance capital expenditures, pro-rata Adjusted EBITDA from unconsolidated affiliates, cash interest paid, income taxes paid, principal amortization of indebtedness, changes in prepaid and accrued capacity payments, and adjusted for development expenses. Management believes CAFD is a relevant supplemental measure of the Company’s ability to earn and distribute cash returns to investors.
We believe CAFD is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because securities analysts and other interested parties use such calculations as a measure of our ability to make quarterly distributions. In addition, CAFD is used by our management team for determining future acquisitions and managing our growth. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to CAFD is cash provided by operating activities.
However, CAFD has limitations as an analytical tool because it does not include changes in operating assets and liabilities and excludes the effect of certain other cash flow items, all of which could have a material effect on our financial condition and results from operations. CAFD is a non-GAAP measure and should not be considered an alternative to cash provided by operating activities or any other performance or liquidity measure determined in accordance with GAAP, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs. In addition, our calculations of CAFD are not necessarily comparable to CAFD as calculated by other companies. Investors should not rely on these measures as a substitute for any GAAP measure, including cash provided by operating activities.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has issued fresh summons to Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut asking him to appear on July 1 for questioning in a money laundering case linked to the re-development of a Mumbai 'chawl' and other related financial transactions involving his wife and friends, officials said.
The Rajya Sabha MP was issued the first summons for Tuesday but he sought more time citing official commitments and a meeting he was supposed to attend at Alibaug.
His lawyers had met ED officials in Mumbai on Tuesday and sought 14 days' time for his appearance but the agency only gave him a relief till this month end.
"The ED summons was served late Monday afternoon, so we made an application to seek time because the ED has demanded a few documents," the lawyer said, adding that they had sought 14 days' time.
"It is not possible to collect those documents in such a short span of time, due to which we sought time from the ED and that has been allowed," he said.
Meanwhille, Raut told reporters that he was busy with party programmes and would visit the central agency's office after that.
"Some people want to put us behind bars and run the state, the way it happened during the Emergency," the Sena's chief spokesperson claimed.
Referring to the use of central agencies in some states, Raut sought to draw a parallel with the excesses committed against political opponents during the Emergency, and said he was ready to go behind bars for 'second Independence'.
The agency wants to question the 60-year-old Raut and record his statement under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
The development comes as the Shiv Sena battles rebellion from a group of its MLAs, putting a question mark on the future of the Maharashtra's Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government.
Rebel Shiv Sena legislators, who were first taken to Surat, are now camping in Guwahati. | https://www.rediff.com/news/report/ed-issues-fresh-summons-to-raut-as-he-sought-more-time-to-appear/20220628.htm | 2022-06-28T10:57:33Z | https://www.rediff.com/news/report/ed-issues-fresh-summons-to-raut-as-he-sought-more-time-to-appear/20220628.htm | true | 4 |
MADRID (AP) — Spain’s prime minister is defending the way Moroccan and Spanish police repelled migrants last week as they tried to cross the shared border into the north African enclave of Melilla, depicting the attempt in which at least 23 people died as “an attack on Spain’s borders.”
“We must remember that many of these migrants attacked Spain’s borders with axes and hooks,” Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said during an interview Monday with The Associated Press. “We are talking about an attempt to assault the fence that was evidently carried out in an aggressive way, and therefore what Spain’s state security forces and Moroccan guards did was defend Spain’s borders.”
Authorities in Morocco have blamed the deaths on a “stampede” of people that formed early Friday as hundreds attempted to scale or break through the 12-meter (29-feet) iron double fence.
The barrier surrounds Melilla, a town of 85,000 separated from the Spanish mainland by the Strait of Gibraltar.
Nonprofits working in northern Africa and human rights organizations have deplored the treatment the migrants received from police on both sides. But they have also directed their blame at Spanish and European Union officials who they say have essentially outsourced border controls to Morocco and other states.
Sánchez, whose left-to-center government is trying to improve ties with Morocco following an acrimonious diplomatic dispute over Western Sahara, has refused to criticize the crackdown.
Speaking at the palace on the outskirts of Madrid that hosts his office and residence, Sánchez told AP that his thoughts were with the families of those who died. But he blamed the tragedy on “international human trafficking rings who are profiting from the suffering of human beings who only want to seek a better life.”
“I insist, these are international mafia groups that are not only damaging the territorial integrity of Spain but also that of Morocco, which is a country suffering that irregular migration.”
Sánchez spoke to AP on the eve of hosting NATO leaders in a summit that aims to redraw the defense alliance’s strategy for the next decade. While Russia’s invasion of Ukraine will take center stage at the Wednesday and Thursday meeting, the group will also debate its posture on Africa, where Russian mercenaries are adding to concerns about migration, extremism and the impacts of poverty and climate change.
Footage uploaded to social media shows how a large number of migrants approached a section of the fence and began scaling it. Some of the migrants hurled rocks at Moroccan anti-riot police trying to stop them. At one point, the fence collapses, sending many of the migrants to the ground from a height of several meters.
In at least one video released by Spanish online news website eldiario.es, Spanish guards can also be seen escorting migrants back to the Moroccan side, a practice that human rights activists say denies the right of refugees to apply for asylum on European soil.
More gruesome videos and photos posted online appear to show the aftermath of the crossing attempt, with scores of young men, some of them motionless and others barely moving and bleeding as Moroccan security forces stood over them.
At least 76 civilians and 140 security officers on the Moroccan side, and 60 National Police and Civil Guard officers on the Spanish side, were injured, according to their respective governments. A small group of African men who did make it across the fence were taken to a migrant holding center in Melilla.
Moussa Faki Mahamat, head of the continent’s largest grouping of countries, the African Union, has called for an investigation into the deaths. In a tweet, Mahamat said he wanted to “express my deep shock and concern at the violent and degrading treatment of African migrants,” adding that all countries have “obligations under international law to treat all migrants with dignity and to prioritize their safety and human rights while refraining from the use of excessive force.”
While Moroccan authorities say 23 people died in addition to scores of injuries both among the migrants and border guards, activists claim that the death toll is higher and denounce the EU’s policy of striking deals with Morocco and other states like Turkey to control migration flows.
A group of 51 human rights groups said Monday in a joint statement distributed by Spanish NGO Walking Borders that the deaths “are the tragic example of the European Union’s policies of externalizing its borders, with the complicity of a southern country, Morocco.”
“The death of these young Africans at the borders of ‘Fortress Europe’ is a warning of the deadly nature of the security cooperation on immigration between Morocco and Spain,” the statement added.
Spanish authorities in Melilla, meanwhile, are using the most recent attempt by migrants to cross over in mass numbers to make an appeal for even greater guarantees on their territorial security. Last year, when relations between Spain and Morocco were frayed, Moroccan border guard let thousands of people cross in a few hours in Ceuta, Spain’s other enclave city in Africa.
Since then, the Spanish media has been rife with debate about whether NATO would help Spain out if its hold of Melilla and Ceuta was ever in jeopardy.
“Melilla is Europe’s southern frontier, and that is why Europe must look to the south,” Melilla chief Eduardo de Castro said Monday.

As Echiiro Oda takes a break to prepare for the beginning of the end of the One Piece manga, new fans are being introduced to Oda’s Pirate Odyssey thanks to more seasons of the anime being added to Netflix. Here’s your guide to how many seasons of One Piece are on Netflix.
One of the biggest Japanese exports ever, Echiiro Oda’s One Piece is a behemoth sized franchise that has sold so many volumes of its manga that it’s even outsold the bible.
The anime adaptation has been entertaining children and adults alike since its first episode aired in 1999, allowing an entire generation to grow up and go on an incredible journey with Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates as they seek out the fabled One Piece.
One of the most in-demand anime from Netflix subscribers, since it was announced that the live-action adaptation was in development at Netflix, we’ve seen seasons of One Piece added to the library periodically.
Currently, subscribers in the US have access to ten seasons of One Piece, totaling 263 episodes, which takes you from the start of the East Blue Saga to the end of the Water 7 arc. There are over 1000 episodes of One Piece, so Netflix has a long way to go in acquiring the several hundred remaining episodes.
How many seasons of One Piece are on Netflix?
Instead of having extra large-sized seasons containing the entire story of a saga, seasons are broken down into the smaller story arcs that collectively make up for the sagas.
Currently, there are 10 seasons of One Piece available to stream on Netflix US;
East Blue / Arabasta
Filler / Sky Island
Filler / Water 7
When are more seasons of One Piece coming to Netflix?
As we expected, more seasons of One Piece are on the way to Netflix. Arriving on July 22nd, 2022, multiple seasons of One Piece will be arriving. This should take the total number of One Piece episodes on Netflix up to 325, which will conclude the Water 7/Enies Lobby saga.
Expect to see the following seasons on Netflix sometime in the near future;
The next major saga coming to Netflix soon will be Thriller Bark.
Would you like to see more seasons of One Piece on Netflix?

FOREX-Euro holds below $1.06 as Lagarde sticks to script
By Saikat Chatterjee
LONDON, June 28 (Reuters) - The Aussie and the Canadian dollar climbed on Tuesday on firmer oil prices while the euro held below $1.06 as European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde offered no fresh insight on the central bank's policy outlook.
Oil prices LCOc1 are up 10% in barely a week on supply constraint concerns with Brent crude holding near $117 levels pushing the Canadian dollar CAD=D3 and the Australian dollar AUD=D3 up 0.3% and 0.4% respectively versus the greenback. O/R
"Oil is helping the Norwegian crown and the Canadian dollar to outperform and the euro is again running into resistance at the 1.06 level," said Kenneth Broux, an FX strategist at Societe Generale in London.
The euro held below $1.06 after the ECB's Lagarde said the central bank would move gradually but with the option to act decisively on any deterioration in medium-term inflation, especially if there were signs of a de-anchoring of inflation expectations.
Money markets are pricing in about 238 basis points (bps) of cumulative rate hikes by mid-2023 compared to around 280 bps two weeks ago.
Broader currency market moves were contained in a big week for markets. German inflation figures are due on Wednesday, French data on Thursday and euro zone numbers on Friday.
At the other end of the dial, higher oil prices caused the partially convertible Indian rupee INR=IN to open at a record low, and fall further to 78.67 per dollar.
The U.S. dollar index =USD struck a two-decade high of 105.79 this month and was last steady at 103.93.
Elsewhere, the offshore Chinese yuan CNH=EBS moved higher after China reduced COVID quarantine for international travellers.

'His return will be in the cage': UFC chief Dana White shuts down talk of a boxing rematch between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather - despite the Irishman's hints of a second clash on social media
- Dana White has insisted Conor McGregor will return to action in the UFC cage
- 'The Notorious' had hinted at a boxing rematch against Floyd Mayweather, 45
- But White shut down talk of a second bout, insisting UFC is the Irishman's future
Dana White has played down the prospect of a second boxing clash between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather.
MMA fighter McGregor made his name in the octagon but fought undefeated boxing legend Mayweather back in 2017 in an exhibition fight.
'The Notorious' hinted at a second bout with 'Money' on social media - but UFC supremo White shut down talk of a rematch on the Jim Rome Show.
UFC supremo Dana White (pictured) has shut down talk of a boxing rematch between MMA fighter Conor McGregor and boxing legend Floyd Mayweather, five years after their first bout
Mayweather (right) gave 'The Notorious' (left) a boxing lesson in 2017 with a tenth-round TKO
He said: 'Not me, I'm not talking about that. Conor's return will be in the cage. Conor's looking to come back the end of this year, early next year.
'When I do talk to Conor, Conor wants to fight. Conor gets all kinds of offers for movie roles and all these other things that he could go and do and make money.
'He doesn't want to do any of that. Conor wants to fight. When he fights, he gets paid. Fighting is what he wants to do.'
McGregor hinted at a second fight on social media - before White played down that prospect
It has been five years since Mayweather taught the UFC superstar a boxing lesson, securing a tenth-round TKO victory.
Fight Hype had reported the pair are in discussions over holding a second bout, with McGregor adding to the speculation with a cryptic post on social media.
McGregor, who has not fought in almost a year since suffering a horrific broken leg in his defeat to Dustin Poirier, shared a picture of his clash with Mayweather on Instagram on Thursday evening with the caption: 'I accept'. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/ufc/article-10960393/UFC-supremo-Dana-White-shuts-talk-boxing-rematch-Conor-McGregor-Floyd-Mayweather.html | 2022-06-28T11:09:24Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/ufc/article-10960393/UFC-supremo-Dana-White-shuts-talk-boxing-rematch-Conor-McGregor-Floyd-Mayweather.html | false | 2 |
Tamed-Dashed group ENHYPEN will be embarking on its first world tour in September, reported media outlet SportsWorldi on June 28, 2022. As per the report, music industry officials confirmed that the seven-member group will host its first world tour in mid-September. The group will reportedly also perform in Japan and the United States.
ENGENEs, the group’s fandom, was over the moon after the news broke. ENHYPEN officially debuted in November 2020, after being selected through Mnet’s audition survival program, I-Land. The group has also been steadily growing in terms of its popularity, which is reflected through its massive growth in physical sales and digital streams.
The seven members were part of other K-pop groups that debuted during the pandemic and were unable to experience the thrill of offline performances. The world tour will allow them to meet ENGENEs for the first time since their debut.
Fan reactions to ENHYPEN reportedly embarking on its first world tour in mid-September
On June 28, 2022, South Korean news outlet SportsWorldi reported that the Drunk-Dazed group would hold its first world tour in mid-September. The news arrives amid ENHPEN ramping up promotions for its new release, its third mini-album titled MANIFESTO: DAY 1.
The report also revealed that the boy band would kick off the tour in Seoul and then move to Japan and the US. For a year-and-a-half-old group to host a world tour is a commendable feat. However, the seven-member act’s increasing success made the in-person global concert turn into a reality soon enough.
Although HYBE has not yet released any official updates regarding the news, fans have taken the news in a positive light and continue to express their excitement on Twitter.
Moreover, as per some fan accounts, K-media outlets also reported that ENHYPEN would announce the world tour in the second quarter. Since there are only three days left before the second quarter ends, they believe that BELIFT LAB could drop the news any time this week.
Fans commented that Jake, Sunghoon, Jay and Ni-ki attending SEVENTEEN’s BE THE SUN concert might be a way for them to note down some performance to-dos.
ENGENEs’ reactions to the news have been all over the place. While some are taking the news with a grain of salt, others have started making theories in connection to the concept teasers released and some have started imagining scenarios of the heartwarming experience that awaits them.
See the fans' reactions below:
A major point of discussion was Jungwon’s concept photo from the Blessed-Cursed era. In the picture, Jungwon was overlooking a miniature office.
The office walls had numerous countries written on them, including Japan, the UK, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore and more. Fans believe the concept photo could have been a spoiler for the world tour that they missed.
Meanwhile, ENHYPEN’s upcoming comeback is refreshingly different from its past releases. The new album will tell the story of boys who are struggling with what adults define as success and will choose their own path.
The album MANIFESTO: DAY 1 will be released on July 4, 2022. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/pop-culture/news-enhypen-first-world-tour-reportedly-begin-september-2022 | 2022-06-28T11:10:05Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/pop-culture/news-enhypen-first-world-tour-reportedly-begin-september-2022 | true | 1 |
WWE Hall of Famer The Godfather believes that the faction Nation of Domination from the Attitude era will be babyfaces instead of heels if it appeared today.
The star became a part of the heel stable in 1997 when he played the gimmick, Kama Mustafa. The faction also comprised Faarooq, Mark Henry, D'Lo Brown, Ahmed Johnson, and The Rock.
However, as The Rock became the stable's leader in 1998, Kama transitioned into The Godfather character.
In a recent interview with The A2theK Wrestling Show, the veteran explained that the members did not realize that the faction would become such an important part of WWE history.
He also pointed out that if they behaved the same way as they did in the Attitude Era, today's crowd would consider them babyfaces instead of heels.
"We didn’t know the significance of it when we were doing it, you know, and how later on in life, it would be kind of important. Dude, we were just having fun. It was good guys. We were heels. I mean, what’s funny is if we did that today, we’d probably be babyfaces, we probably wouldn’t be heels," Godfather said. (H/T BodySlam)
Check out the results from this week's RAW here.
Then-WWE Chairman Vince McMahon wanted to hide The Godfather's old gimmick's face
In 1992, The Godfather played the role of a terrifying wrestler, Papa Shango. But the reason behind the look of the character being so frightening is something not known to many.
In the same interview, the WWE Hall of Famer revealed that Vince McMahon gave a makeover to his "baby face" as it seemingly didn't match Godfather's "body of a monster."
"[Vince] says, ‘You have a body of a monster, but you have a baby face’, and he goes, ‘We’ve got to do something with that face’,” Godfather said. “… That was Vince, hiding my baby face.” (H/T to Wrestling Inc.)
At 6ft 6inches and 330 lbs, The Godfather was one of the most intimidating figures of the Attitude Era.
The veteran's full-time stint with the promotion ended in 2002 and he was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2016. The Godfather's last WWE appearance was during The Undertaker's retirement ceremony at Survivor Series 2020.

Understanding of the Superior Court of Justice allowed operators to no longer pay for treatments that are outside the role of the National Health Agency
We may seek to suspend the SRTJ’s understanding of the change in understanding of the role of ANS for health plans
Podemos has filed a Direct Action of Unconstitutionality (Adin) in the Federal Court of Justice (STF) for the Court to suspend the understanding on the exhaustive list of procedures at the National Health Agency (ANS). the federal deputy Renata Abreu (SP) signed the action that points to unconstitutionality for the understanding of the Superior Court of Justice (STJ). The party also points out that the lack of provision for essential treatments in the ANS list makes it clear that the list’s taxation represents an “obstacle for the population that uses supplementary health, preventing proper access to the health system”. At one point in Adin, the caption claims that “the right to health represents an unavailable prerogative guaranteed to most people by the Constitution of the Republic, whose integrity is the Public Power, which is responsible for formulating social and economic policies, guaranteeing universal and equal access” . | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/06/28/we-can-ask-for-suspension-of-changes-in-health-plan-procedures-in-the-stf/ | 2022-06-28T11:13:46Z | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/06/28/we-can-ask-for-suspension-of-changes-in-health-plan-procedures-in-the-stf/ | true | 1 |

Fabien Barthez was one of the most iconic and instantly recognisable footballers of recent decades with success throughout his club and international career.
Nicknamed Le Divin Chauve (The Divine Bald One), due to his trademark shaved head, which was regularly kissed by defender Laurent Blanc in a pre-match ritual, Barthez enjoyed a stunning career.
Standing at just 5 ft 11 in, Barthez was relatively short for a goalkeeper but he made up for his lack of physical stature with immense agility, athleticism, decision-making, bravery, ability to read the game, and commitment when coming out to collect the ball.
He starred in France's World Cup success in 1998 and their European Championships title two years later and was still the regular as Les Bleus reached another World Cup showpiece in 2006. He won a Champions League at Marseille, two league titles at Monaco and two Premier League crowns at Manchester United, for whom he starred between 2000 and 2003.
Barthez became a hugely popular figure among the Old Trafford fanbase due to his eccentric behaviour, his taunting dribbles and step-overs past opposing strikers, and his string of incredible reaction saves. There was always a sense of vulnerability due to his lack of stature and tendency towards risk, but there was little doubt over his technical brilliance and stunning audacity.
It was that self-confidence that prompted his next career move after hanging up his boots in 2007. Within a year, of his retirement from playing football his career in motorsport had commenced, and it was not an impulse decision.
Have Your Say! Which former footballers have had the best careers after retiring? Tell us what you think here.
Barthez has subsequently explained: "I have always been fascinated by motorsport, even when I was playing football. It always intrigued me. I wanted to understand what it felt like being in a car. I had to wait until the end of my pro career to try it. That said, it’s not like football: you can still be good even when you are 35, which was my age when I stopped playing."
Indeed, Barthez's passion spiked weeks after winning the World Cup in 1998 when he spoke to former French F1 driver Olivier Panis. Speaking to his former France international colleague Bixente Lizarazu on Brothers of Sport, the one-time goalkeeper recalled: "I spoke to Olivier during the summer. I asked him if I was a World Cup-winning footballer.
"It all happened so quickly. We had no time to really live in the present. I was asking myself, 'What just happened?' I'm from the generation who were told to profit from our careers because they were (over) so quickly. And when they're over, they're over. That's my message to the young: profit because it goes very quickly."
Barthez began competing at selected events in the Porsche Carrera Cup France in 2008 and two years later he picked up his first podium in race 1 at Dijon-Prenois. He went from strength to strength, winning his first race in the FFSA series at the Circuito de Navarra in race two in 2012 and ranking seventh overall in that year's championship. A year later, he was crowned French GT Champion alongside Morgan Moullin-Traffort.
In 2016, he set up the team Panis Barthez Competition with designs on racing in the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans race. In his first race there, he hit speeds of up to 206mph in the exhilarating race. He added when speaking to Lizarazu: "I know the course very well. The atmosphere, the spirit.
"I spent three months learning everything I could. It was a passion that turned into an obsession. It was just like football, in terms of preparing, the way the pressure mounted, you see the ground and the stadium, the pressure mounts, everything came back to me."
Now aged 51, Barthez's incredible sporting career has spanned over three decades and he has now raced at Le Mans three times – with more in his sights. Never one to shy away from thrilling fans and setting hearts racing, the Frenchman's stunning career change is not one he regrets. | https://www.irishmirror.ie/sport/soccer/fabien-barthez-man-united-driver-27345683 | 2022-06-28T11:14:15Z | https://www.irishmirror.ie/sport/soccer/fabien-barthez-man-united-driver-27345683 | false | 2 |
Woman who was scammed out of £500,000 by her partner reveals how he used their son as a 'pawn' by increasing his demands for money when she was a tired new mother
- Chrissy Handy, of Cheltenham, conned out of £500,000 by Marc Hatton in 2008
- He introduced himself as financial consultant under fake name in noughties
- After Chrissy's public plea, Marc was arrested and jailed for 18 years in 2010
- Speaking to Lorraine, said their son Marcus, 17, said he felt was used 'as a pawn'
A woman who was conned out of £500,000 by her partner has revealed how he used their son as a 'pawn' in his scam.
Mother-of-four Chrissy Handy, from Cheltenham, was conned by Marc Hatton in the noughties after they met in a coffee shop and he introduced himself as a financial consultant under the fake name Alexander Marc d'Ariken de Rothschild-Hatton.
The couple got engaged and had a son Marcus, who is now 17, but Chrissy admitted she admitted she soon began to question why her partner kept asking her for money and going on business to Geneva.
She found out he'd derauded other people and had taken half a million pounds from her, eventually leaving her without a trace.
After she issued a plea on Lorraine in 2008, Marc was found in the US and jailed for 18 years in 2010. He served 12 years of his sentence and was released under license for five years, and is currently living in the UK.
Returning to Lorraine today, 14 years on, Chrissy, who recounted her ordeal in her book Seduced by a Sociopath, said her son Marcus told her he 'knew [his father] never cared about him' and that he felt he was 'used as a pawn.'
She said Marc intensifiedhis demands for money for 'investments' after Marcus was born, taking advantage of the fact she was tired from looking after the baby and increasing his trips abroad.
Mother-of-four Chrissy Handy, from Cheltenham, was conned by scammer Marc Hatton in the noughties after they met in a coffee shop and he introduced himself as a financial consultant under the fake name Alexander Marc d'Ariken de Rothschild-Hatton
After their relationship developed into a serious attachment, with Chrissy thinking they would be getting married, the couple had a son Marcus, who is now 17
Speaking of Marcus, Chrissy said: 'It's tough. I sat down and watched an old documentary the other night which was made in 2011, and he came in and said, "Can I see that?",' she recounted.
After the mother and son watched the documentary, Chrissy revealed Marcus told her: 'I knew he never cared about me but I didn't think he used me as a pawn.'
'And that's heartbreaking,' she told Lorraine Kelly.
The host of the show sympathised with the mother-of-four and said: 'You've had to be mum and dad, especially to your youngest.'
After she issued a plea on Lorraine in 2008, Marc, right, was found in the US and jailed for 18 years in 2010. He served 12 years of his sentenced and was released, now being under license for five years and living in the UK.
Chrissy and Marc had Marcus in 2005, at the height of the conman's illegal activities.
She revealed how he wheeled her into giving him more money, asking for loans to finance his business school.
The mother, who was left on Universal Credit after Marc defrauded her of £500,000, said she did question her partner's motive for money.
She explained he abused her trust after the pair began a romantic relationship and would get money from her, pretexting he was investing the money on her behalf through his account in Geneva.
'Everything seemed plausible,' she told Lorraine.
Chrissy appeared on Lorraine in 2008 when she was trying to locate Marc, who had runaway after defrauding her of $500,000. He was found two years later in the US
It was a tip the mother-of-four received after appearing on the show that led to Marcus's arrest. He was jailed for 18 years
She said Marc intensified this scam after the birth of Marcus, taking advantage of the fact she was tired from looking after the baby and multiplying his trips abroad.
She said she would 'question him all the time' and would ask to see the contract notes of the investments he claimed to have made for her, but that he would find an excuse not to show them to her.
She added that if she questioned him too much, he would turn the tables on her and make her feel guilty.
'He would accuse me of not trusting him,' she said, adding Marc would tell her things such as 'we're getting married and you don't trust me.'
Marc was released 12 years into his sentence and is now on licence for another five years. He currently lives in the UK
Over the years, the relationship began to deteriorate, with Chrissy saying Marc was 'not holding up his end of the bargain' and that he 'never fulfilled the promises he made.'
She said she was eventually tipped off to the fact something was not right by her sister-in-law, who told her 'I hope you're not financially involved with him.
That is when Chrissy found out Marc had defrauded another woman in Italy and his own brother.
Following her appeared on Lorraine in 2008, Marc was arrested and jailed in 2010, but he was released 12 years into his sentence and is now on license for another five years.
Lorraine said Chrissy's book is 'a warning to everybody out there, not just about him, but that it can happen to everybody.
'These people are clever. they know, they're manipulative and devious,' the presenter added.
And the mother-of-four said she now things Marc could strike again, because 'a leopard doesn't change his spots'
'He must be 62, now, with not much prospects, what is he going to do? Who's he is gonna tap on next?;' she said. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-10960309/Woman-scammed-500-000-partner-said-used-son-pawn.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-06-28T11:14:42Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-10960309/Woman-scammed-500-000-partner-said-used-son-pawn.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false | 3 |
In 1974, Raul Martinez was credited with opening the country's first taco truck. Selling food out of a converted ice-cream truck that he had parked outside of a bar in East Los Angeles, he eventually turned his business into King Taco, a restaurant chain with 22 locations across Southern California.
Since then, food trucks — like the Hollywood Walk of Fame and water crises — have become a feature of Southern California. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, which oversees food trucks, told NPR that the city currently has 5,568 food trucks and carts.
Yasmany Mendoza is the owner of Tacos y Birria La Unica, a family-owned food truck based in the Mid-City neighborhood of Los Angeles.
"We specialize in birria. We do beef birria, goat birria, steak, chicken, cabeza. Everything's made with handmade tortillas," Mendoza says.
He reflected on the five years his family has been in business: "We started from the bottom first. We started with a food truck and now we have two. Hopefully in the future we can have a brick-and-mortar — thank God with all of our clients that have been supporting us since Day 1."
With more than 164,000 followers on Instagram, hundreds of positive reviews online, and a state-of-the-art decommissioned FedEx truck, Tacos y Birria La Unica is what the American dream looks like in practice.
Struggling with higher costs
And like all business owners in pursuit of that dream, the Mendozas are feeling the squeeze of 8.6% inflation — but they're especially feeling California's gas prices, which are currently over $6 a gallon.
Of all the many conveniences food trucks offer over traditional brick and mortar restaurants — lower startup costs, lower overhead — transportation costs aren't one of them. Mendoza estimates that over the past year, he's gone from spending $125 to fill up his tank to around $200.
Matthew Geller is CEO of the National Food Truck Association and he says that "everything's more expensive. It's 75 to 85 cents a mile to drive anywhere. [Food truck owners] are being very careful about how they waste that gas because every dollar that goes into your tank doesn't go into your pocket."
Geller runs a company that helps connect food trucks with catering events. "Everyday, I talk to someone that's making a decision about whether to vend or not based on how far it is," he says.
Business owners are also feeling the broader effects of inflation overall. The cost of food and key items has gone up, Mendoza says.
"The vegetables, the meat, everything. For example, the oil we use for the food truck used to be worth $20, now it's $40. A box of lemons used to be $20-$25 and now it's like $80. Avocados used to be $30 a box, now it's like $60."
In some ways the solution could be simple: To accommodate rising costs, business owners can raise prices to retain their margins. But in the world of food trucks, there's another and perhaps equally important economic factor at play: expectations.
Food trucks are known for their convenience and affordability. Consumers forgo the frills of a traditional restaurant in exchange for lower prices.
Morgan Grain, a foodie who lives in downtown Los Angeles, says, "sometimes if I know I want something cheap, I'll go to [my local] taco truck. I can get a good amount of tacos, and nachos, and a pineapple soda for like $20 — and that's like two meals."
A balancing act
This confluence of factors — higher gas prices, inflation and the overall shock of the pandemic economy — has created a delicate balancing act for Mendoza. He has to be sensitive to the expectations of his customers, but he also has to worry about the bottom line. Data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that consumers are paying 7.4% more for food in restaurants compared to last year.
"If you don't raise up your prices, you're not going to make money. But at the same time, you can't raise it too high cause some customers are going to complain," Mendoza says.
One thing Tacos y Birria La Unica won't compromise on is quality. Mendoza still plans to produce his birria tacos with handmade tortillas, freshly cut limes, and the recipe that's been passed down through generations.
"It's the recipe that my mom cooks from birthday parties and all that," he says.
Fortunately for Mendoza, some customers are accepting of price increases and sympathize with the position of business owners.
While waiting for her food, Grain makes her priorities clear.
"If the food's good, I'll definitely pay for it. I understand how my grocery bills are going up. Theirs probably are too," Grain says.
When and if inflation and gas prices will ease is still unknown, but for Mendoza, the path forward is relatively simple: "We have to work with what we have."

Bitcoin Is Venice: Fiat Delenda Est
We hope that one day, Bitcoin will go unnoticed as a second Renaissance flourishes all around us.
This article is part of a series of adapted excerpts from “Bitcoin Is Venice” by Allen Farrington and Sacha Meyers, which is available for purchase on Bitcoin Magazine’s store now.
You can find the other articles in the series here.
“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered… I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies… The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.”
In extracts six through 11 in this series, from chapter seven of “Bitcoin Is Venice,” we characterized the likely general way in which Bitcoin fixes finance, communications and our relationship with the environment as being that Bitcoin makes access to and control over these capital stocks more decentralized. In extracts 12 through 15, from chapter eight of “Bitcoin Is Venice,” we also detailed successes in more abstract cases of “capital.” The primary effect, in the former was and the latter probably will be, to remove single points of failure and the heightened risk of failure at these points brought about by excessive leverage that wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for distorted flows of knowledge and competence as conveyed in prices, language and culture.
So, as a tangible example following from chapter seven: The Lightning Network performs a similar role to the card networks, but is nearly impossible to meaningfully “attack” as a peer-to-peer network rather than a client/server model, the “servers” of which are a handful of multi-national, multi-centi-billion-dollar companies with data centers, regulators, CEOs and their friends and families… in other words, attack vectors galore. Likewise, Bitcoin creates an incentive to extend “the grid” digitally rather than physically. This obviously introduces a number of fascinating binaries worthy of comparison, but consider one not yet mentioned: known versus anonymous.
A miner can connect to the network while under a waterfall, in a sunlit desert or on a geothermal spring, or anywhere at all they can transport a diesel generator, without anybody anywhere in the world knowing their identity, their location, their hardware… anything besides that they proved their work and that they are entitled to and receive the block subsidy and the transaction fees. Now we have peer-to-peer energy as opposed to the gigantic server of “the grid” and the helpless clients of “pretty much everybody who wants reliable electrical power.”
As an intangible example following from chapter eight, consider that the very prediction just outlined of economic dependence being gradually pared back and eventually removed will in turn remove the primary incentive for everything to be political. The politicization of everything rests on grudging compliance, and people tend to comply out of fear that the resources on which they depend will be withdrawn for insufficient ideological support. If it is possible to live independently of centralized leverage over material well being there is no reason whatsoever to heed unrelenting panic porn and comply with the continued descent into a panopticon of social credit; which is to say, the incessant strip mining of social and cultural capital.
With true self sovereignty and independence, there will be no need for ketman — we can heed Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s advice rather than Czesław Miłosz’s, and live no longer by lies. Independent of ever-invasive corruption, we will finally be free to do so; to no longer host an economic, social and cultural cancer, but to carve it out and let it expire. We find a guilty, sadistic pleasure in the realization that those who have the most power over others to lose due to the ripples of Bitcoin’s pressure on political economy are also those so ideologically compromised as to be the very last people to understand Bitcoin itself, if they ever do.
Once the reader grasps the rough mental model here of the obvious benefits of peer-to-peer networks over client/server models, it is not difficult to extrapolate. Nor is it difficult to ensure such extrapolation can be kept realistic rather than utopian simply by accurately referring to Bitcoin’s astonishing and novel technical properties. To repeat Henry Kissinger’s aphorism, “Who controls the food supply controls the people; who controls the energy can control continents; who controls money can control the world.”[i] We are on the cusp of a brave new world in which nobody controls the money, hence the energy, hence the food supply. What happens to control of the people, the continents and the world, remains to be seen.
To keep up the theme of resilience, but to move even further away from the idea of “the sovereign individual,” we would further argue Bitcoin provides less-powerful states with a means to resist and escape predation and exploitation. Probably the most obvious example, and in a sense the one that ultimately underpins the rest as far as money goes, is the important role played in U.S. dollar hegemony by Organization Of The Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) pricing. We assume this is relatively well known and well understood and so offer two completely different flavors of example, both of which have recently been explored in great depth by Alex Gladstein of the Human Rights Foundation.
In his essay “Fighting Monetary Colonialism With Open-Source Code,” and drawing extensively on “Africa’s Last Colonial Currency” by Fanny Pigeaud, Ngongo Sylla and Thomas Fazi, Gladstein investigates the history and ongoing reality of the French colonial CFA franc system. In 15 sub-Saharan African nations, across more than 180 million inhabitants in an area two-thirds the size of India, citizens of countries ranging from Senegal to Gabon use the CFA franc instead of a national currency. The currency — launched at the end of the colonial period in the 1940s — has been gradually debased by more than 99% against the French franc, or what is now the euro. The latest major devaluation was in 1994, when half of the purchasing power of the CFA franc was destroyed in an attempt to boost the competitiveness of CFA nation exports. Since colonial times the French state has used the CFA system to cheaply harvest resources ranging from uranium to tin to lumber from CFA nations at below market prices, often selling finished goods back to those very same CFA nations at above-market prices. The French state has a de facto first right of refusal on exports coming from CFA nations, as well as construction and service contract imports. The CFA nations are prevented from building their stocks of productive capital, and end up exporting raw goods, unable to develop manufacturing bases. This parasitic relationship has helped finance and subsidize the French welfare state over the past seven decades, and has given it a huge captive market for goods that it would have trouble selling elsewhere. Historically, CFA nations had to keep as much as 100%, and only recently 50%, of their reserves in Paris with French banks. CFA nations may have won their independence in the 1960s, but remain financially dependent on France.
Political leaders who threatened to disrupt the CFA system were dispatched with violence, or were left by the French to fend for themselves against violent insurgencies. The economic histories of Burkina Faso, Togo, Guinea and Mali are especially vivid in this regard. Today, the French state is introducing some reforms to some CFA nations, but they are considered surface-level by many observers. Going back decades, the French government has propped up a variety of odious dictators to keep the CFA system in place. With the exception of Senegal, none of the 15 CFA countries have experienced meaningful democratization, and countries like Guinea Bissau, Chad, Niger and Benin remain some of the poorest on earth. Here, the French continue to operate a capital strip mine on par with the most striking colonial operations of the past. And, given President Emmanuel Macron’s plans for French expansion in Africa in coming decades, it is unlikely that the French will agree to a reduction in control in this matter.
What choice do CFA citizens have? They can seek political change through rebellion or revolution, but it is unclear if independent states with their own currencies will fare that much better. Yes, countries like Ghana with independent monetary policies have fared demonstrably better than CFA nations, but Nigeria, with price inflation at 17%, is a low bar for success. Hyperinflation would be a constant and fatal threat to any new currency. At the national level, there simply isn’t much hope for a better currency. And so, many CFA citizens are now opting into Bitcoin. Though their per capita use lags behind Anglophone countries like Ghana and Nigeria, some countries like Togo are now in the top ten in terms of peer-to-peer cryptocurrency volume as noted by Chainalysis’s 2021 Global Crypto Adoption Index, adjusted for population and internet penetration. If the regime won’t change, and the old colonial powers won’t leave, at least citizens can opt for a currency that they control. This is why activists like Farida Nabourema from Togo and Fodé Diop from Senegal call Bitcoin the currency of decolonization.
This hope is echoed by some in Palestine, as well. The Palestinian political struggle is well known throughout their world, but their economic struggle is barely discussed, yet equally severe if not worse in terms of human impact. Gladstein explores this crisis in his essay, “Can Bitcoin Be Palestine’s Currency of Freedom?” in which he reveals how the capital stock of citizens in the West Bank and Gaza Strip has been relentlessly eroded over decades of Israeli colonial policy. After 20 years of Israeli occupation, these trends were clear in 1987, as Sara Roy’s article, “The Gaza Strip: A Case of Economic De-Development,” makes clear, that the Palestinian economy was becoming completely dependent on Israel for jobs and imports, and unable to build up a manufacturing or agrarian base. Over time, farmers and builders in Palestine were priced out by subsidized Israeli goods, and were forced to give up their economic productivity and independence for higher-paying jobs in Israel. Statistics show, for example, despite a rising Palestinian population, a decline in agricultural jobs occurred between the 1960s and 1990s. These trends were amplified after the Paris Protocol of 1994, an overlooked but hugely influential economic document signed by the newly-minted Palestinian Authority, which granted Israel near-total control over the Palestinian economy, made the shekel legal tender in the West Bank and Gaza, gave it control over exports and imports, and discretion over labor policy and remittance flows.
Over the past 25 years, these trends have become even more severe, especially in Gaza, where Israeli (and Egyptian) restrictions after the 2000 Intifada and 2006 electoral victory of Hamas in addition to consistent bombings and embargoes have completely collapsed economic activity. The situation on the ground in Gaza is shocking, with 50% unemployment and virtually all of the productive capital destroyed. Even in the West Bank, individuals have no access to the kind of fintech or investing options that citizens of Israel enjoy, and continue to have to use an effectively foreign and imposed currency while living under the enormous corruption and bureaucratic waste of Fatah and Mahmoud Abbas, a nepotistic and increasingly authoritarian ruler. Some Palestinians are peacefully protesting through the use of Bitcoin, which they view as a way to gain independence from Israel, in the spirit of the first intifada. That late 1980s movement, which was largely successful in making the occupation expensive and costly for Israel (previous to it, Israel had profited from the occupation), was aimed towards achieving self-sovereignty through agriculture and reducing dependency on the Israeli economy. These goals of resistance, however, are impossible if Palestinians still have to use the shekel. With Bitcoin, they have access to a global, digital, sound, open-source, programmable money, in which no party is privileged, nor can interfere.
One could well argue that injustices of international relations prevail all over the world, and even tease that “world peace” is perhaps too grand an aspiration if not an indication of unseriousness on account of being as much a traditional punchline as a serious aim. We do not think this hunch at all diminishes the hope Bitcoin may provide to the people of West Africa and Palestine, but as a final example distinctly above the level of the individual, we would highlight adversarial subdivisions within federal or quasi-federal states. For much the same reasons as may allow the likes of Mali to get out from under the yoke of France, and Palestine from Israel, so too will Catalonia and the Basque Country have an extra-legal means to defy Spain, the regions of the Po Valley to defy Italy, and Texas, Wyoming, and Florida to defy the U.S. federal government, should they choose to exploit it.
The latter seem already to be very much on this path and we do not think it will be long at all before they will be in a financial position to turn down Federal “aid” and hence be unthreatenable when they then decide to extract themselves and their citizens from the hooks of the U.S. federal government. We feel this path is worth highlighting as being of subtle geopolitical importance, and which should not be ignored or brushed aside under the false binary of only “the individual” on the one hand and “the state” on the other. We must ask, which state? After all, states have rivalries, incentives and hierarchies as well and there is no reason to believe that Bitcoin cannot be useful, in remarkably similar ways as already discussed for individuals, based only on relative power and locality.
Moreover, states have rivalries, incentives and hierarchies also with corporations as well as other states — what we might call non-sovereign corporations as opposed to sovereign corporations — presumably under the protection of a sovereign corporation far more powerful than themselves. It is a common trope for environmentalists to bemoan that western corporations engaged in pollution, extraction, etc. are often as powerful or conceivably even more powerful (certainly better capitalized) than the developing economies bearing the brunt of their waste and destruction. The potential for sustainability and self-sufficiency offered by Bitcoin may come to provide a means and a hope for states to extricate themselves from the likes of multinational energy and finance companies which can rightfully be said to operate on a neo-colonial basis: not only strip mining the literal, natural resources of poorer nations and preventing the bootstrapping of their own capital stocks, but imposing alien cultural values on the populace via the leverage of financial control — typically whatever direction the winds of moral fashion happen to be blowing that week in London, New York and Washington D.C.
Furthermore, we expect Bitcoin to reinvigorate pro-democracy movements worldwide for three simple and related reasons. Democracy as an intellectual concept seems to us to be given zealous and therefore unthinking and undue support amongst thinkers of right thoughts in the West, 99% of whom are likely entirely unaware of the serious arguments against their essentially religious view, or frankly have ever even thought about it beyond a form of religious affirmation.
However, we have some hope that inviolably sound money may be a missing piece for the serious pro-democracy camp. A crude characterization of the typical objection is that democracy seemingly inevitably tends towards short-termism in general, and impatient consumption of what has not yet been produced in particular. And, as above, the historically unprecedented power granted along these lines by the mechanics of fiat money makes the temptation to subsume capital stocks under the power of the state simply irresistible. So irresistible, we believe, that this degenerate cultural and political force pulls every otherwise civil dispute into its gravitational orbit. Any and every private disagreement is escalated to the level of politics, meaning everything becomes political; everybody has their pet political cause for which they fight for state preference, and the social fabric by which disputes are resolved and individuals learn responsibility and compromise itself begins to dissolve. Bizarrely, then, the extreme of collectivism itself causes an entwined extreme of individualism somehow even more perverse.
But does it not follow that removing the real root of this problem ought also to remove this temptation? Without a money that has this specific flaw of costless creation and control, but is furthermore designed such that even much milder violations of long-termism and capital formation such as unbacked debt become extremely problematic, might we be in a position to reject toxic collectivism and toxic individualism in one fell swoop, and return to healthy, voluntarist, communitarian balance? We are open to this being a naïve view, but there are further supportive and interrelated reasons to potentially find it compelling.
Second, Bitcoin is fast becoming a single voter issue that is potentially historically unprecedented. “Freedom” is almost never a practical political position in a democracy, no matter its apparent popularity, for two basic reasons: It negates the very purpose of the politician proposing it and hence makes no political sense.[ii] But also, the more uniformly entrenched and accepted are individually bought preferences from the state, the more “freedom” will come to have some minor benefit to everybody but some major cost, also to everybody. Everybody’s major cost will be different, but nonetheless the grounds for opposition will be clear and compelling. It is impossible — arguably dangerous — to try to coordinate an escape from this communal trap because any defector from a mutiny stands to acquire the state preferences of the left-behind mutineers.
Bitcoin, on the other hand, is not a negative issue, but an entirely positive one. It is a civil rights movement that applies to absolutely everybody except those already entrenched in finance and politics, and which effectively bribes them to become and stay a part of it. An individual need not be against a litany of petty infringements too numerous to keep track of or even count. She need only support Bitcoin, which will itself obsolete these infringements. Politicians in democracies will not be able to muddy the waters on a handful of pettily tyrannical positions about which nobody cares in particular — besides, of course, their donors, who care deeply about keeping freedom at bay on those specific issues and no others; if they come out against Bitcoin, they mark themselves as explicitly anti-freedom and will be the object of relentless, global ridicule and attack.
Many will nonetheless try; we suspect the more technologically and mathematically illiterate who not only have not spent time understanding Bitcoin, are not used to spending any time understanding any technology, but who have only ever lived in a degenerate fiat world in which outcomes are dictated by power, consequences for capital and civilization be damned. This is potentially a potent force for freedom, prosperity and human flourishing that mechanically depends on the democratic process.
Christopher Lasch wrote in “The Culture Of Narcissism”:
“Modern bureaucracy has undermined earlier traditions of local action, the revival and extension of which holds out the only hope that a decent society will emerge from the wreckage of capitalism. The inadequacy of solutions dictated from above now forces people to invent solutions from below. Disenchantment with governmental bureaucracies has begun to extend to corporate bureaucracies as well — the real centers of power in contemporary society. In small towns and crowded urban neighborhoods, even in suburbs, men and women have initiated modest experiments in cooperation, designed to defend their rights against the corporations and the state. The “flight from politics,” as it appears to the managerial and political elite, may signify the citizen’s growing unwillingness to take part in the political system as a consumer of prefabricated spectacles. It may signify, in other words, not a retreat from politics at all but the beginnings of a general political revolt.”
Published in 1979, this was certainly premature and possibly overly hopeful and naïve. Lasch possibly foresaw a cyclic rebound from the desolation of narcissism he diagnosed? We cannot know for sure, but, we think it reasonable to ascribe Lasch’s concerns, at least in part, to precisely the breakdown in social and cultural capital we believe has resulted from degenerate fiat capitalism. We think his comments above can be read as an excellent explanation of a pro-freedom and essentially local and distributed democratic momentum building around Bitcoin.
Third and finally, we think, as opposed to the questionable merits of “national democracy” on display around the world, that local democracy might actually just work, if those contributing are properly incentivized; or, as we might think is a more appropriate assessment, if they are no longer improperly disincentivized. It might result in truly effective governance. As Prince Hans-Adam II of Lichtenstein writes in “The State In The Third Millennium,” “Perhaps for the first time, there is the possibility of turning states into peaceful service companies, which will, not only service oligarchs and monarchs, elected or not.”
Knowledge and competence are necessarily local, and we believe it stands to reason that a localized democracy, while not necessarily perfect, will at least be relatively far more likely to embody and reflect these virtues, absent the distortion of signal provided by hierarchies premeditated on previously increasing returns to scale of violence. The combination of more localized, knowledgeable and competent democratic government with a passionate and potentially near-universal pro-freedom single issue constituency, and inviolably sound money which in turn mandates low time preference, we find to be tantalizing.
Richard Sennett teases this very question in “The Culture Of The New Capitalism,” which as a whole could easily be thought of as a demurely caustic critique of the artificial bigness and short-termism of degenerate fiat capitalism, although Sennett himself would surely avoid such brash language. He writes:
“Absurd as it may seem, we might refine the question about economics and politics to this: do people shop for politicians the way they shop at Wal-Mart? That is, has the centralized grip of political organizations grown greater at the expense of local, mediating party politics? Has the merchandising of political leaders come to resemble that of selling soap, as instantly recognizable brands which the political consumer chooses off the shelf?
“If we answer yes to all of the above, the crux of politics becomes marketing, which seems bad for political life. The very idea of democracy requires mediation and face-to-face discussion; it requires deliberation rather than packaging. Following this train of thought, we would observe with dismay that all the seductive tricks of advertising are now deployed to market the personalities and ideas of politicians; more finely, just as advertising seldom makes things difficult for the customer, so the politician makes him or herself easy to buy.”
There is certainly something poetic in the idea that buyable politicians are ultimately a product of the qualities of money itself, and that fixing the money will limit the set of what can in fact be bought.
A low time preference society will make sacrifices for the future, and, having mutually invested in the future, will be more likely to band together to protect this investment. This is practically tautologically valid. In “Governing The Commons,” Elinor Ostrom makes the general point that effectively governed common pool resources tend to respect custom and compromise. In other words, they tend to embody localism, since such governance mechanisms literally cannot scale beyond communities that actually know one another, and whose competence derives from familiarity and experience; what James C. Scott called mētis: practical knowledge as opposed to theoretical.
This idea is likely true at the level even below what we just described as the “social” — perhaps the personal or even psychological. Localities small enough to make for custom and compromise that enabled effective governance of common pool resources will make their constituents feel like they have a more personal connection with the governors and a more meaningful stake in the outcome of effective governance. In "The Breakdown Of Nations," Leopold Kohr gives an impassioned plea to this end:
“The small state is by nature internally democratic. In it the individual can never be outranked impressively by the power of government whose strength is limited by the smallness of the body from which it is derived. He must recognize the authority of the state, of course, but always as what it is. This is why in a small state he will never be floored by the glamour of government. He is physically too close to forget the purpose of its existence: that it is here to serve him, the individual, and has no other function whatever. The rulers of a small state, if they can be called that, are the citizen’s neighbours. Since he knows them closely, they will never be able to hide themselves in mysterious shrouds under whose cover they might take on the dim and aloof appearance of supermen. Even where government rests in the hands of an absolute prince, the citizen will have no difficulty in asserting his will, if the state is small. Whatever his official designation, he will never be a subject. The gap between him and government is so narrow, and the political forces are in so fluctuating and mobile a balance, that he is always able either to span the gap with a determined leap, or to move through the governmental orbit himself. This is, for instance, the case in San Marino where they choose two consuls every six months with the result that practically every citizen functions at some time during his life as his country’s chief of state. Since the citizen is always strong, governmental power is always weak and can, therefore, easily be wrested from those holding it. And this, too, is an essential requirement of a democracy.”
We think it is reasonable to run Ostrom’s argument in the other direction: In a world of prevalent and undisturbed localism, common pool resources are overwhelmingly likely to be much more effectively governed.[iii] Arguably the most critical aspect of their governance is mindfulness of stocks and flows such that they are at least preserved, and then and only then, grown sustainably for the future. In other words, that they are resilient.
And surely there is a virtuous circle, or ought to be? Surely the presence of well governed common pool resources encourages long-termism, which encourages the appreciation of stocks of wealth rather than their strip mining, which encourages the development of practical skills to nurture such stocks, and the respect and admiration of the practically skilled in the popular imagination? If so, we can only hope that this shift comes at the expense of those respected and admired notionally for mastery of impractically specialized theory, but really, when it comes down to it, for their success at navigating the world of degenerate fiat power, entirely despite possessing any real knowledge or competence. Allan Savory expresses essentially this worry about the current state of governance — who it tends to attract and how they tend to behave — writing in “Holistic Management”:
“Tragically, we are now less aware of our dependence on a well-functioning ecosystem than we were in earlier, less sophisticated, eras. Economists now have more leverage in the U.S. government than the farmers who formed it ever did. Accountants and lawyers serve as the chief advisers to the business world in which some corporations now wield larger budgets and more influence than many national governments. To be the specialists they are, most economists, accountants, and lawyers have considerable training in the narrow confines of their professions but less of an education in the broader sense, with some exceptions — ecological economists being one. As a consequence, most of these specialists exhibit little knowledge of the natural wealth that ultimately sustains nations, the quantity and quality of which is determined by how well our ecosystem functions.”
Let us hope that the functioning of our ecosystem, the knowledge of natural wealth, and an education in the broader sense become valued once again. Or, at least, that their continual devaluation over the degenerate fiat era be allowed to reverse and return to their natural state.
“A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution. Digital signatures provide part of the solution, but the main benefits are lost if a trusted third party is still required to prevent double-spending.”
–Satoshi Nakamoto, “Bitcoin: A Peer-To-Peer Electronic Cash System”
We have done our best to limit ourselves to the study of “capitalism,” and although our treatment has indulged in a variety of disciplines, the core subject matter remains essentially an economic and political phenomenon. Besides the occasional rhetorical flourish, we don’t believe we have strayed too far afield. But the Renaissance is not remembered as something so dry as an “economic and political event.” We collectively conceive of it as a blossoming of literature, philosophy, art and culture. This is what life is really about, or certainly ought to be. The Renaissance was undoubtedly enabled by the nurture, replenishment, and growth of capital, but only as a kind of technical prologue: an introduction to set the stage for the main event.
And so, we hope of Bitcoin. We hope that one day it will go unnoticed as a second Renaissance flourishes all around us. We hope it just works, such that we can all focus on what is more important in life than the plumbing of economic exchange. Ideally, infrastructure would just work, and we would not spend our time analyzing capital, but creating it. This is the real goal; Bitcoin, a tool, is just the first step.
As for the authors, we hope we have at least done a decent job explaining how and why we took that first step. This extract, its chapter, the book — it is all a roundabout of saying:
Fix the money, fix the world.
[i] Having already more or less explicitly identified fiat money with violence, the authors cannot help but notice the uncanny similarity between this observation and the common social media trope that the “deplorables,” grow the food, produce the energy, and the fight wars, of urban “educated” elites — that is, high-modernist, all-decreeing, all-modeling, closed-source-insisting, consent-resisting, censorial client/server types, “educated” primarily in degenerate fiat economics and its various bullshit offshoots.
[ii] “Elect me, and I will do nothing! I might even do less than nothing!” This is actually highly appealing to the authors, so please note we are not dismissing it as a political position, merely remarking that the comical tragedy of hoping for freedom to prevail in contemporary democracy necessarily relies on making this seemingly farcical argument and hence, obviously, consistently fails.
[iii] An excellent example of this would be the likelihood of rapid uptake of state-of-the-art nuclear power by local administrations that has for decades been blocked by centralized politics on entirely spurious grounds that primarily rely on the carrot of corruption and the stick of fear mongering.

This, the headquarters says, is nearly 80 percent of Iran’s total quota of 39,600 pilgrims to dispatch for this year’s Hajj rituals.
Hajj is one of the world’s largest religious gatherings and attracted millions of pilgrims up until 2019, just before the coronavirus pandemic.
In 2020, Saudi authorities announced that they will only allow 1,000 pilgrims from inside the country to take part.
That was raised to a total of 60,000 Saudi citizens and residents in 2021, before authorities announced they will authorize one million Muslims to take part in 2022. That includes both Saudi and foreign citizens. | https://ifpnews.com/30000-iranian-pilgrims-saudi-arabia-hajj/ | 2022-06-28T11:19:47Z | https://ifpnews.com/30000-iranian-pilgrims-saudi-arabia-hajj/ | false | null |
DENVER (AP) — The midterm primary season enters a new, more volatile phase on Tuesday as voters participate in the first elections since the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision revoking a woman’s constitutional right to an abortion jolted the nation’s politics.
In Colorado’s Republican U.S. Senate primary, voters are choosing between businessman Joe O’Dea and state Rep. Ron Hanks. O’Dea is the rare Republican who supports most abortion rights while Hanks backs a ban on the procedure in all cases.
Meanwhile, in the Republican race for governor in Illinois, Darren Bailey, a farmer endorsed by former President Donald Trump over the weekend, wants to end the state’s right to abortion except for instances in which the mother’s life is in danger. He doesn’t support exceptions for rape or incest. His opponent, Richard Irvin, the first Black mayor of Aurora, has said he would allow abortions in instances of rape, incest or when the mother’s life is at risk.
Both races are unfolding in states where abortion remains legal. Democrats have sought to elevate both Hanks and Bailey, betting that they have a better chance of winning the fall campaign if they’re competing against Republicans they could portray as extreme. In Colorado, Democrats have spent more than $2 million boosting Hanks’ candidacy. In Illinois, the sums have been vastly higher, with Democrats spending at least $16 million against Irvin and to boost Bailey as the nominee against Gov. J.B. Pritzker.
The strategy carries risks, especially if the magnitude of the GOP’s expected gains this fall becomes so significant that Democrats lose in states like Illinois and Colorado, which have become strongholds for the party. But at a moment when Democrats are confronting voter frustration over inflation and rising gas prices, the focus on abortion may be their best hope.
“It’s a very inviting target, to go after a Republican candidate whose position is no exceptions,” said Dick Wadhams, a former chairman of the Colorado GOP who has worked for anti-abortion candidates in the past. “I do think the repeal of Roe v Wade may embolden more candidates to go in that direction.”
Beyond Colorado and Illinois, elections are being held in Oklahoma, Utah, New York, Nebraska, Mississippi and South Carolina. This marks the final round of multistate primary nights until August, when closely watched races for governor and U.S. Senate will unfold in states such as Arizona, Wisconsin, Florida and Missouri.
And while Tuesday’s primaries are the first to happen in a post-Roe landscape, they will offer further insight into the resonance of Trump’s election lies among GOP voters.
In Oklahoma, one of the nation’s most conservative senators, James Lankford, faces a primary challenge from evangelical pastor Jackson Lahmeyer, amid conservative anger that Lankford hasn’t supported Trump’s election claims.
In Utah, two Republican critics of Trump are targeting Sen. Mike Lee, accusing the two-term senator of being too preoccupied with winning the former president’s favor and helping him try to overturn the 2020 presidential election. In Mississippi, Rep. Michael Guest, a Republican who bucked Trump to vote for an independent Jan. 6 commission, faces a challenge from Michael Cassidy, a former Navy pilot.
Also in Colorado, indicted county clerk Tina Peters, who has been barred by a judge from overseeing elections in her home county in the western part of the state, is running for the GOP nomination for the state’s top elections post by contending she’s being prosecuted for uncovering a grand conspiracy to steal the 2020 election from Trump. She faces Pam Anderson, a former county clerk and critic of Trump’s election lies, for the nomination to challenge Democratic Secretary of State Jena Griswold in November.
Republicans worry that Peters, who is being prosecuted by a Republican district attorney for her role in a security breach in her county’s election system, would drag down the entire ticket if she becomes the nominee. The GOP has lost almost every statewide race since 2014, but hopes public disenchantment with President Joe Biden gives them an opening.
“There’s a lot of peril on June 28 for Republicans,” Wadhams said. “A lot of opportunity, but a lot of peril as well.”
Other GOP opportunities in the state come in the newly created congressional swing seat north of Denver, where four Republican candidates are competing to face state Rep. Yadira Caraveo, the only Democrat running in the primary. Heidi Ganahl, the lone statewide elected Republican as a member of the University of Colorado’s board of regents, faces Greg Lopez, a former mayor in suburban Denver, in the contest for the GOP nomination to face Democratic Gov. Jared Polis.
Also in Colorado, firebrand Rep. Lauren Boebert faces moderate state Sen. Don Coram in the Republican primary in the western part of the state. In Colorado Springs, Republican Rep. Doug Lamborn, who faces regular primary challenges, this time is fighting back state Rep. Dave Williams, who failed to get the phrase “Let’s Go Brandon,” code for an obscenity against President Joe Biden, added to his official name on the ballot.
Other than the governor’s race primary, Illinois also features two, rare incumbent vs. incumbent congressional primaries as a result of House districts being redrawn during last year’s redistricting. Democratic Reps. Sean Casten and Marie Newman will compete in a Chicago-area seat. And GOP Rep. Rodney Davis, one of the last moderates in the Republican caucus, faces Trump-backed Rep. Mary Miller, who at a rally with the former president this weekend described the Supreme Court decision as “a victory for white life.” A spokesman said she meant to say “right to life.”
In New York, Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul, who became the state’s chief executive last fall when Andrew Cuomo resigned during a sexual harassment scandal, is fighting off primary challenges from the left and center. New York City’s elected public advocate, Jumaane Williams, contends Hochul hasn’t been active enough on progressive issues while Long Island Rep. Tom Suozzi blasts her for being too liberal on crime.
On the Republican side, Rep. Lee Zeldin is the frontrunner in a crowded gubernatorial primary field that includes Andrew Giuliani, the son of former New York mayor and Trump confidant Rudolph Giuliani. Trump has not made an endorsement in the race.

The bad loans resolution sector in India may turn lacklustre as rising interest rates in advanced economies could prompt prospective overseas resolution applicants/ investors to withhold k asset purchases/ investment in security receipts, according to industry experts.
They highlighted the sharp reversal in capital flows, with foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) pulling out equity and debt investments aggregating about $29 billion in the current calendar year so far, as several countries tightened their monetary policies to rein in inflationary pressures.
The reversal of capital flows due to safe haven considerations could negatively impact the sentiment of foreign entities wanting to invest in distressed assets, said a top official of an asset reconstruction company (ARC).
The committee to review the working of ARCs had underscored that significant foreign capital is needed to resolve bad loans in the financial system.
FPIs/ foreign institutional investors’ (FIIs) subscription to the security receipts (SRs) issued by ARCs had jumped from ₹151 crore (1.02 per cent of the amount of SRs issued) as at March-end 2019 to ₹8,750 crore (14.74 per cent) as at March-end 2020 and ₹9,861 crore (14.08 per cent) as at March-end 2021, as per RBI data.
The central bank’s report on ‘Trend and Progress of Banking in India 2020-21’ noted the preference of banks for alternative avenues for resolution of stressed assets (such as cases admitted by National Company Law Tribunals under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code), with asset sales declining as a proportion of outstanding gross non-performing assets (GNPAs) across bank groups.
“This was partly due to the worsening acquisition cost of ARCs as a proportion of book value of assets, reflecting higher haircuts and lower realisable values in respect of their acquired assets,” the report said.
Experts opined that the tightening global financial conditions could dampen the enthusiam of foreign entities to buy stressed assets.
The latest Financial Stability Report observed that the longer bad loans remain on banks’ balance sheets, the lower the likelihood of recovering, independent of the type of exposure or borrower.
This implies that reduction in the median gap between bad loan identification and Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) commencement may have a pronounced effect on ultimate recovery, it added.

Ernst & Young, one of the top accounting firms in the world, is being fined $100 million by federal regulators after admitting its employees cheated on their ethics exams.
For years, the firm's auditors had cheated to pass key exams that are needed for certified public accountant licenses, the Securities and Exchange Commission found. Ernst & Young also had internal reports about the cheating but didn't disclose the wrongdoing to regulators during the investigation.
"It's simply outrageous that the very professionals responsible for catching cheating by clients cheated on ethics exams of all things," Gurbir S. Grewal, director of the SEC's Enforcement Division, said in a release.
The fine is the largest penalty ever imposed by the SEC on an audit firm.
The CPA, or certified public accountant, licenses are needed by auditors to evaluate the financial statements of companies and ensure they are complying with laws.
However, the SEC says that a "significant number" of Ernst & Young audit professionals specifically cheated on the ethics component of the CPA exams that were required for their accounting jobs.
Audit firms serve a critical gatekeeping role in the financial markets and it is their jobs to ensure integrity of the financial reporting done by companies. It's why the independence and integrity of these firms are paramount.
Because it's their job to hold others accountable, Ernst & Young — one of the "big four" accounting firms — says it holds itself to a high standard of ethics. In fact, the firm's entire global code of conduct is based on an "ethical" framework.
Many of the employees interviewed during the federal investigation said they knew cheating was a violation of the company's code of conduct but did it anyway because of work commitments or the fact that they couldn't pass training exams after multiple tries.
The SEC said that the cheating went on for many years, going back to 2012. Following the discovery of an earlier cheating scheme, the firm took disciplinary actions and repeatedly warned its audit professionals not to cheat on exams. Still, the cheating continued.
Along with paying the $100 million fine, Ernst & Young has to audit itself and report the findings to the SEC, including an assessment of its ethics and integrity training. It'll also be reviewed by independent consultants that the firm will have to pay for.
The cheating scandal comes just a couple of weeks after the Financial Times reported that Ernst & Young is planning to split its auditing and consulting arms, a huge shakeup in the accounting world that would award its partners up to $8 million in shares each.
