Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE: TSM), the contract chipmaking giant more commonly known as TSMC, posted its second-quarter earnings report on July 14. Its revenue rose 37% year over year to $18.16 billion, which beat analysts' estimates by $580 million.
Its diluted earnings rose 67% to $1.55 per American depositary share, which also exceeded analysts' expectations by a nickel. Those headline numbers were impressive, but is it the right time to buy TSMC's stock?
Growing in all the right places
As the world's largest and most advanced contract chipmaker, TSMC produces the smallest, densest, and most power-efficient chips for fabless chipmakers like Advanced Micro Devices, Qualcomm, Nvidia, and Apple.
TSMC's growth decelerated in 2019 as consumers purchased fewer smartphones and consumer electronics. But in 2020, multiple catalysts -- including new 5G devices, robust sales of PCs during the pandemic, and a growing appetite for more powerful data center chips -- brought in a flood of new orders. That soaring demand, along with disruptions from trade restrictions, caused a global chip shortage, which further amplified TSMC's growth.
That momentum continued throughout 2021 and the first half of 2022, and TSMC started to generate a higher percentage of revenue from its smallest and most advanced 5-nanometer node. It also continued to manufacture a large number of chips with its second smallest 7nm node.
The stable expansion of its 5nm and 7nm nodes kept TSMC comfortably ahead of its two largest rivals, Samsung and Intel (NASDAQ: INTC), in the race to produce smaller and denser chips.
Samsung also manufactures 5nm chips, but it hasn't been able to match TSMC's transistor density yet. Intel, which has fallen far behind TSMC and Samsung in that race over the past decade, completely abandoned nanometer-based measurements under CEO Pat Gelsinger -- who took the helm in early 2021 and tried to overhaul the chipmaker's manufacturing operations.
Its dominance of the 7nm and 5nm nodes has given TSMC the power to repeatedly raise its prices without losing customers. Its scale has also allowed it to expand its operating margins even as it increases its capital spending from $30 billion in 2021 to a historic high of about $40 billion throughout 2022 to produce even smaller 3nm and 2nm chips.
Can TSMC maintain that momentum?
Based on those two charts, TSMC looks like a rock-solid investment. However, TSMC's growth is cyclical, and the semiconductor market has been cooling off as people buy fewer PCs and as macroeconomic headwinds throttle the market's appetite for new chips.
As a result, there is a looming fear that the increasing production of chips to counter the chip shortage will create a sudden supply glut instead. TSMC's own guidance indicates that slowdown has already begun.
For the third quarter, it expects its revenue to rise 33%-38% year over year with a gross margin of 57.5%-59.5% and an operating margin of 47%-49%. Those metrics look healthy, but they also suggest its revenue growth will cool off slightly as its gross and operating margins dip sequentially.
Analysts expect TSMC's revenue to rise 31% for the full year, but to grow just 11% to $82.2 billion in 2023. They predict its operating margin will expand to 46.2% this year as some supply chain headwinds force it to postpone some of its planned upgrades (which recently caused it to reduce its full-year capex estimate from $40 billion-$44 billion to about $40 billion), then dip to 44.3% in 2023 as it ramps up that spending again. Its earnings per share are expected to increase 42% this year and grow 8% in 2023.
Even after increasing its capex this year, TSMC will still have plenty of cash left over for its dividends. During the second quarter, it spent 64% of its operating cash flow on capital expenditures, and 21% of that total on its dividends. It pays an attractive forward dividend yield of 2.3%.
It's a rock-solid buy at these prices
TSMC has endured plenty of cyclical slowdowns before, but it's still generated a total return of 1,520% over the past 20 years. It might not replicate those massive gains over the next two decades, but it will remain a linchpin of the growing semiconductor market for the foreseeable future.
TSMC's stock has declined about 30% this year along with the broader tech sector, but it now looks like a screaming bargain at 13 times forward earnings. The bears might fret over its near-term slowdown, but the bulls know it will inevitably recover as the cyclical tailwinds pick up again.

Boris Johnson will miss a third COBRA meeting on the heatwave as Labour said the Prime Minister had "clocked off".
A meeting of the Government's emergency committee will be held at 2.30pm, chaired by Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Kit Malthouse.
Downing Street defended the PM's absence from the third crisis briefing in a row after he spent the morning at Farnborough Air Show, in Hampshire.
The PM's official spokesman was unable to say what he would be doing when the COBRA meeting would take place.
He is expected to face MPs in the Commons later this afternoon as MPs stage a vote of no confidence in the Government.
Asked what Mr Johnson would be doing when COBRA was happening, his official spokesman said: “I don’t have his diary in front of me so I don’t know if there is a clash.
“I will say more broadly on this and I think Kit Malthouse himself made the point that he is taking the lead on the Government’s response to the heatwave.
"He is keeping the Prime Minister fully briefed, including over the weekend, where the PM also spoke to a number of secretaries of state about the work that they are doing.
“It is not unusual in a Cabinet government for cabinet ministers to chair these sorts of things.”
It comes after Mr Johnson did not attend a COBRA meeting on Saturday and instead worked from his Chequers retreat - ahead of a party hosted with his wife Carrie on Sunday.
Another COBRA meeting was held on Friday.
Shadow levelling up secretary Lisa Nandy said: "We think the Government ought to do a number of things: first is to turn up to work."
She told Sky News the Prime Minister has "clearly clocked off", adding: "And so have many of his ministers in his Government."
Mr Johnson gave a jokey speech to open the Farnborough Air Show in Hampshire today, where he cracked gags about sending MPs into outer space.
In a thinly veiled dig at his mutinous Cabinet, he said: "I leave it to you to imagine who at this stage I would like to send into orbit.
"Perhaps a volunteer can be found from the green benches of Parliament.
"I leave that entirely to you, into your speculation.
"But for now, with so much to look forward to in this incredible sector, and with the UK at the leading edge of progress, not just for our national security and the security of our friends and neighbours, not just for our economic prosperity around the whole country, but for the protection of the planet itself, I declare this great Farnborough Air Show open."

When an 18-year-old gunman targeted an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, "systemic failures and egregiously poor decision making" on behalf of law enforcement and school officials failed to stop the shooter from killing 19 students and two teachers, a new investigative report found.
Hundreds of law enforcement officials prioritized their own safety over the lives of students and teachers that day as they waited more than an hour to confront the shooter, according to the 77-page report from a Texas House of Representatives committee.
After weeks of conflicting and inconsistent accounts of the police response, the report gives the public the most complete picture yet of the May 24 massacre at Robb Elementary School. As police fumbled without clear leadership or organization, school staff had grown less vigilant, straying from locked door policies and active shooter procedures.
"There were multiple systemic failures," Rep. Dustin Burrows, a Republican member of the investigative committee, said in summarizing its findings at a press conference on Sunday, hours after the report's release.
He warned that those breakdowns in safety aren't just a problem that exist in Uvalde, adding, "some of the same systems that we found here that failed that day are across the entire state and country."
Here are some of the key revelations the committee found in their probe.
A lack of leadership despite a robust police presence
In all, 376 law enforcement officers arrived at a scene that was chaotic and uncoordinated, the report says. The group of federal, state and local officials lacked any clear leadership, basic communication and enough urgency to take down the gunman, according to the committee.
Previous official accounts of the shooting placed primary blame on the school district's Police Chief Pete Arredondo – who has since resigned as Uvalde school police chief — and other local police.
After arriving at the school, Arredondo fumbled around with and eventually abandoned his radio at the fence, the report stated, reasoning that one of the other sergeants was on the scene and was "fully uniformed" with a radio, he testified to the committee.
Uvalde school district's active shooter policy called for Arredondo to be the incident commander who would've been responsible for leaving the building in order to organize a response and to inform other officers that he was in charge. Instead, Arredondo stayed inside the building.
After Arredondo entered the school, he went to classroom 110, which had bullet holes, but no children were inside. He then "prayed" the kids in rooms 111 and 112, where the gunman fired more than 100 rounds, had been emptied as well, he testified.
They had not been, and Arredondo proceeded to handle the incident as one of a "barricaded subject" and not an active shooter, according to the report.
"With the benefit of hindsight, we now know this was a terrible, tragic mistake," the committee wrote.
Officers said they knew the gunman was in one of the rooms, but did not know what was happening behind the closed doors because they did not hear screams or cries, despite hearing several gunshots ringing out.
Arredondo testified that his assessment of the situation was to prevent the shooter from moving to other classrooms.
"[T]o me ... once he's ... in a room, you know, to me, he's barricaded in a room," he said. "Our thought was, 'If he comes out, you know, you eliminate the threat,' correct? And just the thought of other children being in other classrooms, my thought was, 'We can't let him come back out. If he comes back out, we take him out, or we eliminate the threat. Let's get these children out."
The report revealed that most of the officers who responded to the incident were from state and federal forces, with 149 from U.S. Border Patrol and 91 from the state police department.
There were 25 city police officers and 16 from the county sheriff's office. Arredondo's school police force comprised five of the officers there.
The committee also faults those officers — "many of whom were better trained and better equipped than the school district police" — who it says should have filled the leadership void when they saw the chaotic scene.
"They should've begun asking questions and offered their support and guidance, and maybe eventually they would've gotten command to have a better response from that," Rep. Burrows said.
Two officers with the Uvalde Police Department arrived at rooms 111 and 112 minutes after the attacker opened fire. The attacker shot at the officers, who were grazed by bullet fragments and retreated. They did not fire back. One left the building, the report said.
Although law enforcement made multiple missteps that disregarded active shooter training, the report says, it's not clear that a quicker response from officers once they were on the scene could have prevented the loss of some lives.
Relaxed school security allowed the gunman to attack quickly
Although Robb Elementary had safeguards and active shooter procedures in place, school staff had developed a culture of complacency around such measures. Out of convenience, some teachers frequently left doors unlocked or propped open — a violation of school policy. Due to a shortage of keys, substitute teachers were often told to circumvent locks.
The school was also set up with an intruder alert system. But the frequency of "bailout" alerts, which flag the presence of fleeing human traffickers in the area, desensitized teachers to their urgency. No prior bailout alert had ever resulted in a violent incident at the school.
On the day of the attack, the gunman scaled a 5-foot tall exterior fence before multiple unlocked doors allowed the gunman to enter the classrooms unimpeded, the report found.
"But had school personnel locked the doors as the school's policy required, that could have slowed his progress for a few precious minutes—long enough to receive alerts, hide children, and lock doors; and long enough to give police more opportunity to engage and stop the attacker," it read.
Instead, the gunman likely killed most of the victims before any responder entered the building, the committee found: "Of the approximately 142 rounds the attacker fired inside the building, it is almost certain that he rapidly fired over 100 of those rounds before any officer entered."

At 11:33 a.m., the attacker spent two-and-a-half minutes firing more than 100 rounds into rooms 111 and 112.
Room 111 was the same classroom the gunman attended fourth grade, the report revealed. Just weeks before the attack, the shooter had spoken with an acquaintance about bad memories of fourth grade.
His former fourth-grade teacher, who was in the building at the time of the shooting, told the committee he reported being bullied while in the fourth grade. She consulted with the gunman's mother, and said he eventually began making friends.
The attacker's family testified that he continued being picked on for his clothes and speech impediment. By 2018, when the gunman was in the ninth grade, he had accumulated more than 100 absences and had failing grades. In 2021, when the attacker was 17, Uvalde High School withdrew him.
"It is unclear whether any school resource officers ever visited the home of the attacker," the report said.
When he returned to Robb Elementary on the day of the attack, the shooter was able to enter room 111, as the door was not properly secured, according to the report. The lock on room 111 was known to be faulty, and teachers and students would often enter to use the printer.
"Room 111 could be locked, but an extra effort was required to make sure the latch engaged," the report's authors said.
The teacher of that classroom, who was injured during the shooting, testified that he would often be admonished by school police about the door, and notified school administration, who said a request had been submitted. The teacher never submitted a work order himself, "as was the apparent practice among Robb Elementary teachers," the report said.
The head custodian at the school testified that he never knew of any problems with the door, or would have submitted a work order. The principal said administration had been alerted about the door in March.
On the day of the shooting, the teacher for room 111 said he could not remember receiving an alert about an active shooter or if he used extra effort to secure the door.
The attacker shot his grandmother after an altercation about his phone plan
Three minutes after the gunman fired into rooms 111 and 112, Uvalde Police Department dispatch received a call that a woman had been shot in the head, according to the report. It was the gunman's grandmother.
Before leaving for Robb Elementary School, the gunman and his grandmother had an altercation about his phone that resulted in her making a call to AT&T to remove him from the plan, according to the report.
During the incident, he contacted a female acquaintance in Germany for an hour, and upon hanging up, texted her of his plans to harm his grandmother, the report showed.
"Ima do something to her rn," he wrote, along with "I just shot my grandma in her head" and "Ima go shoot up a elementary school rn."
The acquaintance initially responded with "cool," which she deleted before saying, "I just saw the news."
He shot his grandmother in the face before stealing her truck, despite not having a driver's license, and drove to Robb Elementary.
She survived the attack and was released from the hospital June 29, according to CNN.
The attacker began buying firearms accessories in February, and when he turned 18 in May, spent almost $5,000 on two assault rifles and hollow point bullets, which expand upon impact.
The attacker's uncle drove him to the gun store twice to pick up the rifles, and after his grandmother told him he couldn't keep guns in her home, his uncle allowed him to stow one of the weapons at his house.
The gunman told an acquaintance he hid the second rifle outside of his grandmother's home, and brought it inside the night before the massacre.

Murder in Provence is a drama series starring Nancy Carroll and Roger Allam that came to BritBox in March and is now airing on ITV.
The series is based on the detective novels of ML Longworth and follows a sleuthing couple on their investigations in southern France.
The pair had planned to go on a romantic getaway but put their plans on hold when there is a murder at the local university.
The three-part series sees the detectives investigate a series of murders in their own backyard.
Where is Murder in Provence filmed?
Aix-en-Provence
Murder in Provence is set in Aix-en-Provence, a real city in the Provence region of southern France.
The series was filmed on location, with most outdoor scenes being shot in the idyllic city, which is known as the City of Fountains owing to the abundance of water features found there.
Roger Allam, who stars as investigating judge Antoine Verlaque in the series, said that he was able to find time outside of filming to enjoy the city.
He told Radio Times: “I’d been there many years before, as part of the music festival in the ‘90s – they put on a hybrid opera by Purcell called The Fairy Queen which has a company of actors, ballet dancers, singers and an orchestra, so it cost a massive amount to produce.
"But I had an absolutely idyllic time there and I hadn’t been back since, so it was lovely to reacquaint myself with Aix, which is such a beautiful town, and we did get the chance to enjoy it. It was hard work during the week but we had proper weekends off, which was nice."
Nancy Carroll, who plays criminal psychology professor Marine Bonnet, said: "Provence is really the main character of the show – that landscape, with all the colour and the extraordinary light, provides such escapism, and it was a real privilege to film in that part of the world. The series is really a love letter to the south of France.”
Cassis
Another filming location in the series is Cassis, a fishing port less than 30 miles from Aix-en-Provence.
Allam said: “We went down to Cassis where I’ve been before, which is so beautiful being by the sea, we had a beautiful couple of days there.”
However, a lot of the show wasn’t filmed in France at all, as the majority of interior scenes were shot in the UK.
Didcot
The indoor scenes were filmed near Didcot, a town a few miles south of Oxford - Carmel College, an old boarding house on the bank of the Thames, was used for these scenes.
With uncertainty over whether filming would have been able to take place in France due to the Covid-19 pandemic, producers were worried that they have had to shoot the series entirely in the UK and rename the show Murder in Didcot.
When is Murder in Provence on ITV?
The first episode of the series aired on ITV at 8pm on Sunday 17 July and is available to watch on the ITV Hub now.
Later episodes of the series will be released at the same time weekly and will be available to watch on the ITV Hub shortly after they are first broadcast.
All episodes are also available to watch now on BritBox.
Each episode is feature-length, running at two hours with adverts. | https://www.nationalworld.com/culture/television/where-murder-in-provence-filmed-filming-locations-itv-drama-southern-france-oxfordshire-3772207 | 2022-07-18T11:36:21Z | https://www.nationalworld.com/culture/television/where-murder-in-provence-filmed-filming-locations-itv-drama-southern-france-oxfordshire-3772207 | true | 1 |

'snack' Will Have its World Premiere at CAN Triennial This Week
The production will have its live, world premiere this Friday, July 22 at 7 pm and 8 pm and on Saturday, July 23 at 2 pm and 3 pm.
Creative Destruction Collective, the creative team behind "FEAST: a ballet", presents "snack", a collection of short dances that explores the American gig economy and its effects on workers.
"snack", an official selection of the 2022 CAN Triennial, will have its live, world premiere this Friday, July 22 at 7 pm and 8 pm and on Saturday, July 23 at 2 pm and 3 pm at Inlet Dance Theatre, 2937 W. 25th Street, Cleveland.
Choreographed and directed by Christina Lindhout, "snack" features original music by Mourning [A] BLKstar and Brendan Moir, a new poem titled "Hustle" by Amy Hughes, set and costumes by Corrie Slawson, writing and research by Marc Lefkowitz and Dalindyebo Shabalala, and choreographic assistance by Sabrina Lindhout. The performance will be danced by Mason Scout Alexander, Alexis Britford, Betsie Schaeffer, Christian Mintah, and Christina Lindhout.
"snack" is a portrait of life in America as both voluntary and involuntary gig workers fill up the economic ranks, and serves as a powerful statement on the massive societal shift taking place over one or two generations. "snack" follows five dancers as they navigate the world within the gig economy without the social safety net and personal security that more traditional occupations provide.
All performances are free and open to the public (no tickets required). Parking is available at the Pivot Center for Art, Dance and Expression where Inlet is located and is also served regularly by public transit (see riderta.com for routes and schedules).

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Iscoe Law Firm, one of Florida's leading personal injury attorney teams, today shared some core elements in an amusement park accident claim for consumers to better understand. The most common injuries at amusement parks are premises liability claims.
Gary T. Iscoe, Esq. Founding Partner of Iscoe Law Firm says that in order to bring a successful amusement park accident claim, there are several elements that must be present.
When you go to a store, to a restaurant, to a business, or to an amusement park, you are owed a duty of care that amounts to the property owner or manager is responsible for maintaining the property in the reasonably safe condition that other reasonable property managers maintain in similar situations.
If the amusement park in question failed to live up to each of the expectations outlined in the safety regulations or otherwise failed to maintain the property in the reasonably safe condition necessary, it amounts to a breach in the duty of care owed to you and to other guests in the park.
The park's breach of duty – or negligence – must have been the direct cause of the accident that caused you to be injured.
Finally, in order to recover on your losses in an amusement park accident claim, you must have experienced legal damages, which can include:
- Medical Expenses
- Lost Earnings
- Pain and Suffering
Since 1991, Gary T. Iscoe, a Trial Lawyer, has been dedicated to holding the powerful accountable for taking advantage of the powerless. From representing clients in serious injury cases, wrongful death cases, class actions, and other lawsuits including medical malpractice, and product liability.

A lucky-to-be-alive baby boy has overcome the odds after being born dangerously prematurely.
Oliver weighed less than a tin of beans when he was born following 22 weeks and three days’ gestation. He was the lightest baby born at Royal Preston Hospital to live, The Mirror reports.
Doctors said the chances of him being born alive were as small as he was, weighting just 14oz. The remarkable little fighter is now six months old but still only weighs 7lb 8oz and is easily mistaken for a newborn.

The odds on his battle were even longer as he was an identical twin. Heartbreakingly, his brother Joseph, who weighed 1lb, lived for only four days after suffering a brain bleed.
His mum Cat Gomez said: “We didn’t know if they would be born alive and had prepared ourselves for the worst. Until recently, it was not even recommended to treat premature babies delivered before 23 weeks.
"Oliver might have been tiny but had so much fight. We couldn’t be prouder."
Cat had no complications with her twin pregnancy until she became ill in January, more than four months before her due date in May. She thought she had a urinary tract infection but antibiotics from her GP did not make her better.
The 33-year-old, from York, called triage at her local hospital and was told to come in. Cat said: “I felt like I was being dramatic.”
A scan revealed a cause for concern because Oliver was smaller than his brother. And tests showed her waters may have broken.
She was taken to the Royal Preston Hospital, a two-hour drive away, which had two neonatal intensive care cots available. Cat and husband Tom Longstaff, 33, knew the situation was grave.
Tom said: “A specialist told us that the survival rate for a single pregnancy born at 22 weeks was really low. With them being twins, the chances were virtually non-existent, especially as they were boys, because they don’t mature as quickly in the womb.”
The unborn twins were given steroids to help their immature lungs and Cat went into labour spontaneously on January 13. Oliver was born first then Joseph, 12 minutes later.
She said: “The room was full of doctors and nurses. The boys were rushed to intensive care. I needed an operation, as my placenta would not detach. I was also bleeding a lot and lost 1.8 litres, but I was terrified that I wouldn’t get a chance to meet the boys alive because I was in theatre.”
Tom said: “They had to put them in sandwich bags to keep them warm and damp. The staff said it was a miracle they were born alive, but there wasn’t any false hope and we just resolved to spend what time we could with them.”
He said: “We just felt it was a privilege to meet them alive and did away with our expectations.”
Oliver was just 23cm and his skin was “almost see-through” when Tom went to see him in intensive care, while doctors worked on his brother. While Oliver was 2oz lighter than his twin he had fewer complications than Joseph, who was suffering a grade four brain bleed, the most serious.
Doctors said he would be severely disabled if he survived. Cat said: “We made the decision to withdraw care. We didn’t want life at all costs. We were finally able to hold Joseph and the hospital arranged a photographer for us.
“They even managed to move him into Oliver’s incubator and we got a picture of them holding hands. Joseph died in my arms when he was four days old.” The devastated parents had little time to grieve, with another gravely fragile baby to care for.
They focused on changing “teabag-sized” nappies and Cat expressed milk to feed Oliver by syringe. She could hold him for the first time when he was a week old. It needed three nurses to carefully move him.
Cat said: “When I first held Joseph he was dying. It was nice to hold Oliver for a happy reason.” Getting the newborn to breathe unaided was hard and there were a number of demoralising setbacks.
Oliver had 12 blood transfusions and, at 15 weeks old, needed two operations in one day – laser eye surgery and a bilateral hernia op. He was such a medical marvel that when he left Preston to be cared for closer to home, the staff lined up to say goodbye.
Cat said: “It was very emotional. There were tears all round. They didn’t just look after Oliver – they looked after us too.”
On May 25, after 132 days in hospital, Oliver finally went home. Cat said: “When doctors started to talk about ‘when’ we took him home, not ‘if’, it didn’t feel real.
“We’d not allowed ourselves to believe it was possible.”
Now Oliver is thriving, despite his size, and his besotted parents describe him as “calm but feisty”. Cat said: “He seems really big to us but he is still smaller than many newborns.
“I have kept hold of every size of nappy he went through to show him when he’s older.”
Miraculously, Oliver has few lasting health or developmental problems and recently came off oxygen.
Tom said: “The growth charts didn’t really go down to his gestation so a lot of it is educated guesswork and all learning as we go.
“He has started smiling a lot more now – we’re waiting for that first laugh.” Cat and Tom’s joy is naturally tempered by sadness for their lost child, who passed away six months ago today but they have yet to hold a funeral for.
Tom said: “We will do something at our local church when the time feels right.” As the boys were identical, the couple will have a glimpse at how Joseph would have looked as Oliver gets older – but say they will always wonder about his character and what he would have achieved.
Cat said: “It’s difficult. You’re happy for the milestones that the surviving twin is doing, but also sad that the other twin is not doing them. I’ll always wonder if he would have been more happy, more laid back?”
The couple hope Oliver’s story will give hope to other parents who have an extremely premature baby.
Cat said: “I’d never say abortion is wrong but it surprised me that the limit is up to 24 weeks when I saw Oliver.He had so much fight, so much will to live. We’ll be forever grateful the recommendations have changed to help babies below 23 weeks and doctors gave him a chance.”
Melanie Gwilt, senior sister and neonatal co-ordinator at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals, said the team felt honoured to care for the twins and Cat and Tom are “fantastic parents and partners in care”.
Dr Helen Mactier, of the British Association of Perinatal Medicine, said about one in five babies born in the UK at 22 weeks will survive without major brain damage.
She added: “It is crucial parents anticipating such extreme pre-term birth are offered fully informed discussion with professionals.”

Beautician, 30, caught driving TWICE legal limit claims she got drunk just seconds before being pulled over
A BEAUTICIAN who was caught driving twice over the legal limit has claimed she got drunk just seconds before being pulled over.
Chelsey McDonald, 30, had been on the way to a bar with friends in her orange BMW convertible when the group decided to pour alcohol into their eyeballs.
The mum of two insisted she had been sober whilst at the wheel of her vehicle - but explained she and friends poured capfuls of vodka into their eyes after she parked.
McDonald said: “One of the girls said ‘Shall we put it in our eyeball?'
“Apparently it gets you drunk a lot faster than it does downing it. I was just excited, I could not wait to get out and park the car and be able to have a drink. ”
At Sefton magistrates court, McDonald, of Huyton, Liverpool denied drink driving but was convicted after a trial in which prosecutors condemned her defence as ''ridiculous.''
She was also found guilty of assaulting an emergency worker after she kicked out at police during her arrest.
The incident began at 9pm on November 13 last year in West Derby village Liverpool after a member of the public called police to express concerns about McDonald's driving.
At a car park near the Hare and Hounds pub she was seen to turn right without indicating and just as a taxi was exiting.
At a car park near the Hare and Hounds pub she was seen "doing a little dance" when she got out of the car before stumbling into the pub with her friends.

Police caught up with them as they about to get to the door.
Bodycam footage showed McDonald repeatedly asking ‘What is going on?’ and ‘What are you arresting me for?’ then became aggressive after her mobile phone was seized.
As she pleaded: “Give me my phone, I'm not doing anything wrong, what the f*** is going on?”
'I'M SORRY, I'M DRUNK'
At one point McDonald apologised and said: “I am so sorry, I am so drunk” but then lashed out with her legs as she was being handcuffed.
Whilst being restrained on the floor she kicked a PC in the chest area and she was placed in leg restraints.
Tests showed McDonald had 63 micrograms of alcohol in 100 mililitres of breath, the legal limit being 35mg.
Giving evidence McDonald said she had had two bottles of WKD earlier in the evening, one at around 5.30pm and the other about 6.10pm but that she had felt “absolutely fine” getting behind the wheel at 8.30pm.
Her friends Anna and Kim had a swig from an £8 or £9 bottle of vodka on the way, she said, and that once they had arrived she had three or four gulps before they each had a capful in the eye.
She claimed she only stumbled because she had pain in her eye because of the vodka.
'PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE'
Prosecutor Miss Paula Grogan told the court it would be ''practically impossible'' for McDonald and her two friends to have completed the bizarre drinking games in the 14 seconds between her parking and getting out of the car.
She said: “There is nothing to suggest that her eye is sore on the video and she makes no mention of it to the officer. This is because it's not true.
“It's something she has made up to get off this very sticky wicket that she finds herself in. She was not happy with the concept of spending a night in the cells.”
Earlier PC Jordan James told the hearing: ''She was heavily intoxicated, slurring her speech, unsteady on her feet, and her eyes were glazed. She did not appear to be fully with it.
"She was not cooperative with the officers, refused to provide details, refused to say how she got to the location and was just generally dismissive of what we were trying to establish."
He added: "She had to be restrained on the floor. She started kicking out and kicked at me and made contact with the stomach and chest area.”
For McDonald defence lawyer Keith Webster said: “The concept of putting vodka in your eyes is so left field, so painful, it is not something somebody would say if not true. Why not just say, ‘I drank lots of vodka’?”
McDonald was banned from driving for 18 months sentenced her to a 12-week 7pm-7am curfew, and ordered that she pay £395 in costs and victim surcharge.
JP Christina Hill told her: “We believe it is implausible that alcohol level could be attained by drinking in the car park in the manner you said.” | https://www.thesun.ie/news/9117058/beautician-caught-driving-twice-legal-limit/ | 2022-07-18T11:46:01Z | https://www.thesun.ie/news/9117058/beautician-caught-driving-twice-legal-limit/ | true | 5 |

As bottled water exploded in popularity, it has contributed to a growing environmental problem. Sales of bottled water now exceed those of soda and beer in the U.S. Source: BusinessInsider.com.

Aluminum, meanwhile, has emerged as a major competitor to plastic bottles according to data from the International Bottled Water Association.
Influential and progressive destinations like, Japanese Gardens, are leading the way in offering "canned" water to their visitors.

LONDON (AP) — Britain’s first-ever extreme heat warning is in effect for large parts of England as hot, dry weather that has scorched mainland Europe for the past week moves north, disrupting travel, health care and schools.
The “red” alert will last throughout Monday and Tuesday when temperatures may reach 40 C (104 F) for the first time, posing a risk of serious illness and even death among healthy people, according to the U.K. Met Office, the country’s weather service. The highest temperature ever recorded in Britain is 38.7 C (101.7 F), a record set in 2019.
While Monday is likely to bring record highs to southeastern England, temperatures are expected to rise further as the warm air moves north on Tuesday, Met Office CEO Penelope Endersby said. The extreme heat warning stretches from London in the south to Manchester and Leeds in the north.
“So it’s tomorrow that we’re really seeing the higher chance of 40 degrees and temperatures above that,’’ Endersby told the BBC. “Forty-one isn’t off the cards. We’ve even got some 43s in the model, but we’re hoping it won’t be as high as that.”
Hot weather has gripped southern Europe since last week, triggering wildfires in Spain, Portugal and France. Almost 600 heat-related deaths have been reported in Spain and Portugal, where temperatures reached 47 C (117 F) last week.
Climate experts warn that global warming has increased the frequency of extreme weather events, with studies showing that the likelihood of temperatures in the U.K. reaching 40C is now 10 times higher than in the pre-industrial era. Drought and heat waves tied to climate change have also made wildfires harder to fight.
Officials in southern France’s Gironde region announced plans to evacuate an additional 3,500 people from towns threatened by the raging flames. More than 1,500 firefighters and water-bombing planes are trying to douse the flames in the region’s tinder-dry pine forests.
In Britain, train operators are asking customers not to travel unless absolutely necessary because the heat is likely to warp rails and disrupt power supplies, leading to severe delays. Some medical appointments have been canceled to relieve strain on the health service. While some schools have closed, others are setting up wading pools and water sprays to help children cool off.
Britain is unaccustomed to the temperatures forecast this week, and few homes, schools or small businesses have air conditioning. Across the U.K., average July temperatures range from a daily high of 21 C (70 F) to a low of 12 C (53 F).
Nightfall will bring little relief from the heat, with the Met Office forecasting temperatures of 29 C (84 F) at midnight in London.
Monday night will be “very oppressive” and it will be difficult to sleep, Chief Meteorologist Paul Davies said.
“Tomorrow is the day where we are really concerned about a good chance now of hitting 40 or 41C, and with that all the health conditions that come with those higher temperatures,” he said.

By Texas Tribune Staff, The Texas Tribune
A report released Sunday by a special committee of the Texas House provides the most thorough account yet of the May 24 Uvalde school shooting and the failures of law enforcement and other state and local officials. In 77 pages, it described how the shooter prepared and armed himself, how the school district fell short on campus safety preparations and how law enforcement moved too slowly to end a massacre that left 19 students and two teachers dead.
Here are five takeaways:
[“Systemic failures” in Uvalde shooting went far beyond local police, Texas House report details]
1. Law enforcement failures go beyond local police: In total, 376 law enforcement officers descended upon the school in a chaotic, uncoordinated scene that stretched for 73 more minutes. The group was devoid of clear leadership, basic communications and sufficient urgency to take down the gunman, the report says.
Instead of following the active shooter doctrine developed after the 1999 Columbine High School massacre, which dictates that officers immediately confront active shooters, police at Robb Elementary retreated after coming under fire and then waited for backup.
Prior investigations have pointed the finger at Uvalde schools police Chief Pete Arredondo for failing to take over command of the scene and waiting for a key to unlock the door to the classroom where the shooter had holed up. But the reports note that no state police nor federal agents, who vastly outnumbered Uvalde school and city police, asked Arredondo if he could cede authority over the response.

2. The school’s safety protocols fell short: Robb Elementary’s active shooter policy called for doors to classrooms to be locked during school hours. But multiple witnesses told the committee that employees often left doors unlocked, while teachers would use rocks, wedges and magnets to prop open interior and exterior doors. This was partly because of a shortage of keys, the report states.
The door to Room 111, one of the two adjoining classrooms where the attacker did most of the shooting, was reported in March to not always lock. But the head custodian testified he never heard of any problems with that door, and maintenance records during the school year do not contain any work orders for it.
In addition, Uvalde schools used an alert system that included a phone application allowing anyone in the school to initiate a “secure” or “lockdown” alert. But the committee found that staff did not reliably receive the alerts — due in part to poor Wi-Fi and cell coverage and the fact that some school personnel didn’t keep their phones on or carry them with them. The committee also found that school personnel didn’t always respond to alerts with a sense of urgency.
3. “Bailouts” desensitized school personnel to safety alerts: One reason for a culture of complacency around alerts is that they happened so often. Uvalde is located about an hour from the U.S.-Mexico border and police described an increase in “bailouts” near the school, in which officers chase a vehicle containing suspected undocumented migrants who then purposely crash and scatter to avoid apprehension.
[What we know, minute by minute, about how the Uvalde shooting and police response unfolded]
Since late February, there were 47 “secure” or “lockdown” events at Uvalde schools, according to the report. Around 90% of them were attributed to bailouts, the committee said.
“Uvalde CISD parents became so concerned about the number of bailouts occurring near the elementary-school campuses that they offered to hire off-duty police to supplement the Uvalde CISD police presence,” the report said.
4. The shooter gave hints of his coming rampage: On April 2, the shooter sent someone a direct message on Instagram: “Are you still gonna remember me in 50 something days?”
[A year before Uvalde shooting, gunman had threatened women, carried around a dead cat and been nicknamed “school shooter”]
The person responded, “probably not.”
“Hmm alright we’ll see in may,” he replied.
That was one of several cryptic hints the gunman gave online that he was planning something. Online, officials said, he started to show an interest in gore and violent sex, sometimes sharing videos and images of suicides and beheadings. While playing games, he became enraged and threatened others, especially female players, when he lost.
Attacking women became a pattern. He was also fired from his job at a Whataburger after a month for threatening a female coworker.
But despite the threats and violent talk, none of his online behavior was reported to law enforcement. It’s unclear whether other users reported his behavior to any social media platform, but the committee concluded it doesn’t appear there were any actions taken to restrict his access or to report him to authorities as a threat.
5. Officials didn’t have their facts straight in the aftermath of the shooting: In the days following the shooting, state officials unnecessarily undermined public trust in the ongoing investigations by making false statements about what had happened, the report states.
The day after the massacre, a Uvalde Police Department lieutenant tasked with briefing Gov. Greg Abbott and other state leaders fainted just before the meeting began. DPS Regional Director Victor Escalon took his place, relaying the secondhand accounts of police, as he had arrived at the school minutes before the shooting ended.
Some of this information was inaccurate, which the committee said was the reason Abbott, in a news conference immediately following the briefing, presented a “false narrative” that the shooting lasted as few as 40 minutes thanks to “officers who rapidly devised a plan, stacked up and neutralized the attacker.”
“A complete and thorough investigation can take months or even years to confirm every detail, especially when this many law enforcement officers are involved,” the report states. “However, one would expect law enforcement during a briefing would be very careful to state what facts are verifiable, and which ones are not.”
Staff writers Zach Despart, Perla Trevizo and Matthew Watkins contributed to this report.

Man arrested after firing gun inside popular Charlotte comedy club, police say
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV/Gray News) - A man was arrested after he brought a firearm into a comedy club in north Charlotte on Saturday night.
According to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, 36-year-old Omar James McCombs entered The Comedy Zone at the NC Music Factory shortly after 9 p.m. and showed that he had a gun.
Police said McCombs fired the gun, but did not cause any injuries, and was taken into custody.
The facility was quickly evacuated, and a large police presence ensued.
“It’s not really a place where I would think somebody would have the mind to come and bring a gun,” Charlotte resident Abby Boakye said. “You know that’s like, everybody’s coming to have a good time, see a show, be entertained. Like where did this come from that you want to bring a gun into a place like that?”
McCombs is being charged with multiple counts of assault by pointing a gun and several other firearm charges.
Actor and comedian Craig Robinson, known for his role on ‘The Office,’ had been scheduled to perform at 9:45 p.m.
Robinson said in an Instagram Live video that he was in the green room when the evacuation happened, and shared that he was moved to a nearby concert. He posted a thank you note later on to the Comedy Zone security and staff for getting everyone to safety.
“Thank you CMPD for swift action in apprehending the shooter. Hopefully he gets the help he needs. Thanks be to God no one was hurt,” Robinson wrote.
He was scheduled to perform at the same venue in Charlotte on Sunday at 7 p.m., but The Comedy Zone canceled the show to take a “short breather,” they wrote on Facebook. Anyone who purchased tickets for the show will have them refunded.
“We look forward to laughing with you later this week,” The Comedy Zone wrote.

Rishi Sunak is pledging to scrap hundreds of remaining EU laws and regulations if he wins the race for the Tory crown in a fresh pitch to win over Brexiteers.
The former chancellor has said, if elected, he would appoint a Brexit minister to go through the remaining 2,400 EU laws still on the statute book.
He or she would be instructed to come forward with the first set of recommendations for rules to be scrapped or changed within 100 days of Mr Sunak entering No 10.
So even in Sunak’s eyes, we haven’t ‘got Brexit done.’
And his rival Penny Mordaunt has also pledged to get Brexit “re-done” in the event that she is crowned leader.
So what of the former chancellor’s new video in which he tells the nation about all the wonderful Brexit wins?
Well, they have been ruthlessly slammed in a new video by Peter Stefanovic.
Watch:
He says: “Imagine the shock for the former chancellor when he finds out Freeports are allowed in the European Union – about eighty of them are based in EU countries – and he’ll fall off his chair when he finds out that as a member of the trading bloc the UK actually had seven of them!”

Abstract
Pubertal timing is a robust predictor of externalizing and internalizing problems in adolescence, but controversies remain whether only early or off-time (both early and late) pubertal timing is associated with negative developmental outcomes and whether effects differ across perceptions of pubertal timing and actual biological pubertal timing. Additionally, less is known about the longevity of pubertal timing effects and mediators of effects that persist through adolescence and into adulthood. This longitudinal study investigated the effects of early and off-time pubertal timing, in form of perceived pubertal timing relative to peers and reported biological pubertal timing relative to age, on delinquency and depressive symptoms in adolescence and young adulthood between 2003 and 2022. Peer deviance and school connectedness were examined as mediators of any persisting effects. The sample included 704 youth (52% male, 76% African American, 22% Non-Hispanic White) who were assessed at four time points from early adolescence (Mean ages: 11.8, 13.2) to late adolescence (Mean age: 17.6) and young adulthood (Mean age: 27.7). Perceived off-time pubertal timing in males and early biological pubertal timing in both males and females were risk factors for persistent delinquency into young adulthood, but neither form of pubertal timing was associated with depressive symptoms. None of the effects were mediated by peer deviance or school connectedness. These findings advance the understanding of more nuanced effects of pubertal timing on adjustment problems in diverse youth as they develop from early adolescence to adulthood.

The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) has assured the public of a reduction in the prices of fuel in the coming months.
This is based on anticipation of the drop in the price of crude oil on the international market.
Already, the Chamber for Petroleum Consumers Ghana (COPEC) has hinted of a six percent drop in prices at the pumps in the coming days.
Currently, diesel is almost GH¢15 per litre while petrol sells for over GH¢11 per litre at the pumps. Some filling stations over the weekend recorded some marginal price drops.
Speaking to Citi News, the Chief Executive Officer of NPA, Dr. Mustapha Abdul-Hamid was optimistic that fuel prices will drop.
”We have enough fuel in the country to meet the demands. There should be no concern regarding the supply of diesel, especially.”
After a rampant increase in the price of fuel at the pumps, consumers seem pleased with the recent drop in prices at some fuel stations and are hopeful of further reductions in the coming months.
This comes as some Oil Marketing Companies across the country reduced their prices by up to 60p per litre over the weekend.

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) — Inflation is hitting everyone and unfortunately, we’re starting to see the impact it’s having on our local nonprofits, agencies that depend on donations. For the Bakersfield Pet Food Pantry, a slow down in donations has them worried for their upcoming distribution.
“We’re hurting,” said Robin Ackling, President of the Board of Directors for the Bakersfield Pet Food Pantry. The pantry is there for pet owners when they need it most but now, it’s them who needs help.
This non-profit was started in 2009, through a grassroots movement founded by Cindy and Ken Frye.
“They had actually a soup kitchen for people and they would see these people, oh they have their pets with them, okay well let’s bag a little pet food for them. So it started from there,” Ackling said.
Over the years this group has gone from giving out food in a parking lot to a handful of pet owners to distributing over 3,00 pounds of pet food every month. Unfortunately it seems runaway prices have caught up with the pantry.
“I think the price of food has gone up so much, that the people that can afford to feed their animals can’t afford to buy extra for other people’s animals,” Ackling said.
The pantry hold distributions the second and fourth Saturday of every month and see an average of around 150 pet owners per distribution, but this upcoming distribution has them nervous.
“We’re extremely low. We should have all of the shelves full, plus all of the bins full, plus two extra bins full to be comfortable for the next distribution,” said Ackling. She says right now, they have about half as much of what they need for this upcoming Saturday, but are still around 1,500 pounds short of pet food.
Ackling says they know price increases are eating away at people’s budgets, and in the past they’ve had to cut down the amount of food they can give each pet owner to make sure everyone gets something. She says often times, their distribution is the last resort for pet owners who’ve fallen on hard times.
“We see a lot of regulars and yea they depend on us,” she said.
If you’d like to make a donation to the Bakersfield Pet Food Pantry, you can send them a message through their Facebook page or stop by their offices in Southwest Bakersfield. | https://www.turnto23.com/news/local-news/inflation-impacting-our-local-pet-food-pantry | 2022-07-18T12:17:21Z | https://www.turnto23.com/news/local-news/inflation-impacting-our-local-pet-food-pantry | true | 1 |
Despite being well-equipped with water, the woman fell ill after the cafe they had intended to visit for a refreshment stop halfway along the circular route turned out to be closed unexpectedly due to staff illness.
Scarborough and Ryedale Mountain Rescue Team attended the incident near Ravenscar just after 6pm on Sunday night and said: "Called by North Yorkshire Police. A couple and their two dogs walking a circular route taking in part of the Cleveland Way National Trail had called 999 to say the lady in the party had become significantly unwell and was unable to continue. Despite being well prepared the couple suspected she was suffering from heat exhaustion and dehydration.
"They were located on the Cleveland Way just north of Ravenscar. Once on scene we found the lady was laying in the limited shade and she was able to describe her condition and her symptoms leading up to the call. After a period of rest while she took on additional fluids we walked her slowly to a waiting team vehicle and then drove the party back to their car at Ravenscar.
"The lady then felt well enough for her husband to drive them all back to the local holiday cottage where they were staying with advice on actions to be taken should her condition deteriorate. We wish her a speedy recovery and we hope they enjoy the rest of their holiday.
"We had 15 team members deployed for two and three quarter hours, thankfully not all needed as the lady was able to walk out from the find site and did not need a stretcher carry.
"We do not normally comment on incidents, and there is NO criticism of the couple. These were experienced and well-equipped walkers carrying what they believe to be sufficient food and fluids for both them and their dogs. They had walked the route before and they had planned to stop at a popular cafe midway through the walk for additional refreshment but unknown to them, when they started, the cafe was closed through staff illness. They also called for help at the right time and took all the right actions.
"The weather is forecast to get significantly hotter over the next two days, so it may be a good time to put off that exercise for a few days - the views will still be there." | https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/weather/woman-walking-the-cleveland-way-with-dogs-is-rescued-after-collapsing-with-heat-exhaustion-when-cafe-was-unexpectedly-closed-3772121 | 2022-07-18T12:17:32Z | https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/weather/woman-walking-the-cleveland-way-with-dogs-is-rescued-after-collapsing-with-heat-exhaustion-when-cafe-was-unexpectedly-closed-3772121 | false | 1 |
Monday, July 18, 2022 – Five people are nursing serious injuries after an ugly confrontation between United Democratic Alliance (UDA) and Amani National Congress (ANC) supporters at a rally in Kakamega.
According to reports, the supporters clashed during a gubernatorial bid relaunch by Kakamega Senator Cleophas Malala on Saturday.
It is alleged that supporters of incumbent Malava MP Malulu Injendi of ANC clashed with those of his competitor Seth Panyako of UDA before the event began.
Some of the supporters are reported to have been armed with machetes which they used to stab their opponents during the ugly confrontation.
Two of the five supporters are nursing serious stab wounds and are admitted at the Royal Hospital in Kakamega.
“Sisi tulikuwa tunangojea mheshimiwa wetu. Kuna watu walikuwa wanafanya maandalizi. Mimi ndo nilikuwa target sababu mimi ndo nilikuwa narecord hizo vitu,” one of the victims told the press.
The incident comes days after Ruto had a hard time controlling a rowdy crowd during a rally in Vihiga, the home county of ANC Leader Musalia Mudavadi.
This made Ruto clash with one of the supporters who seemed to have had a confrontation with the Deputy President.
“Wewe kijana wacha kunijibu, unanijibu kama nani? Kama umeleta kisirani kwa hii mkutano utoke. Huwezi kuja hapa kuharibu mkutano,” Ruto stated.

Adeleke risks people’s anger, Peter Obi marked for assassination – Prophet Olujobi
Prophet Bisi Olujobi has advised Osun governor-elect, Ademola Adeleke to ensure good governance in the state.
His statement on Monday noted that Adeleke was ordained “to re-write the history of Osun State with a golden pen”.
“That is the main reason God chose him above others, the people have suffered enough.
“God and men will not forgive him if he does otherwise”, the leader of Wisdom Church of God International warned.
Olujobi however called for supplications for Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP).
The cleric advised his supporters worldwide to embark on “strategic warfare prayer against assassination”.
“There will be an attempt on his life. If they pray well, it will be averted”, he said.
On the 2023 governorship battle in Lagos, the prophet called the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) standard bearer “a joker”.
“Olajide Adediran (Jandor) is a joker, he will lose gallantly unless an immediate step is taken.”
Olujobi added that he sees former Imo governor, Senator Rochas Okorocha “in chains”.
“Okorocha needs to pray very hard for him not to suffer heavy loss politically.”
On Ike Ekweremadu, the religious leader said the Senator would not “have an upper hand” in the case in the United Kingdom.
“It has been settled spiritually against him except he prays very well”, the statement added. | https://dailypost.ng/2022/07/18/adeleke-risks-peoples-anger-peter-obi-marked-for-assassination-prophet-olujobi/ | 2022-07-18T12:18:57Z | https://dailypost.ng/2022/07/18/adeleke-risks-peoples-anger-peter-obi-marked-for-assassination-prophet-olujobi/ | false | 2 |

JASIONKA, Poland – Ukraine Deputy Minister of Defense Volodymyr Havrylov recently became acquainted with the 405th Army Field Support Brigade’s Tele-Maintenance and Distribution Cell-Ukraine when he conducted a walkthrough of the cell and was provided mission briefings by the 405th AFSB and various U.S. Army Materiel Command representatives on TDC-U in support of the Ukrainian armed forces.
On the ground in Jasionka and led by Army Field Support Battalion-Benelux Commander Lt. Col. Blake Smith, the newly instituted TDC-U tele-maintenance cell is proving highly effective supporting the Ukrainian forces with their sustainment and maintenance needs.
Chief Warrant Officer 4 Bryan Busk, who is normally assigned to Zutendaal Army Prepositioned Stocks-2 work site, AFSBn-Benelux, said the TDC-U tele-maintenance cell is managed by the 405th AFSB and augmented by subject matter experts – Logistics Assistance Representatives and Field Service Representatives – from the various U.S. Army Materiel Command Life Cycle Management Commands. The TDC-U is able to expand sustainment and maintenance assistance to the Ukrainian armed forces via a messenger chat group system and video teleconference platform.
Busk said the TDC-U tele-maintenance cell is still somewhat in its infancy stage, but as trust and confidence continues to build and more results are seen, the utilization of the TDC-U will expand.
“It was slow going at first because of a low level of comfort from our Ukrainian partners using the TDC-U,” said Busk, who is deployed to Jasionka from Belgium. “But now the information is starting to flow, results are starting to show and trust is starting to build, and that’s causing more communication and more tele-maintenance requirements to take place.”
The equipment the Ukrainian forces are using and being sustained and maintained via TDC-U is primarily from the U.S. Some of it comes from the 405th AFSB’s APS-2 sites and some from other sources, such as excess U.S. stock and life cycle replacement systems maintained at fully mission capable levels.
The TDC-U tele-maintenance cell is not just utilized for repair, either. It’s also used to sustain the systems being used by Ukrainian forces – major end items such as M777 155 mm howitzers, M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems and Javelin anti-tank weapon systems, for example.
“We are also sustaining these systems in Ukraine via the TDC-U,” said Cpt. Alexander Lovely from U.S. Army Sustainment Command who is deployed to Jasionka from Rock Island Arsenal, Illinois. “All that supply back-end that we do for U.S. forces, we’re also doing for these systems.”
“For example, it’s not just when we identify a maintenance requirement on an M777 howitzer in Ukraine where we need to order repair parts,” Lovely said. “It’s also building sustainment packages of repair parts and supplies.”
One thing that was recently identified as the TDC-U tele-maintenance cell evolves is the need for a tele-distribution communication channel and chat group, as well, Busk said. This will allow the U.S. supply management and distribution experts the ability to discuss with Ukrainian supply personnel the management of supply parts and how they are receiving them. This TDC-U tele-distribution channel would be in addition to the existing TDC-U sustainment and maintenance channels already being utilized.
Another requirement quickly identified in the early stages of the TDC-U’s launch and now fully implemented was the need for English-Ukrainian language translators. The 405th AFSB’s Logistics Civil Augmentation Program was able to rapidly meet this need with its contracting capabilities.
“We have Ukrainian interpreters included in the TDC-U chat groups so that when Ukrainian military personnel communicate with us, the interpreters are able to assist with translation,” said Busk.
The TDC-U program has been a model of cooperation and AMC enterprise-level support. Organizations supporting the mission include the 405th AFSB, AFSBn-Benelux, ASC, and multiple AMC Life Cycle Management Commands such as U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command, U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command, U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Command and more.
The whole operation started with an ad hoc team, Lovely said.
“We’ve morphed it and solidified it into the TDC-U to codify systems and build something more robust,” said Lovely, “but it’s still an ad hoc team from across the AMC enterprise coming together to row in the same direction.”
And It’s going great,” he said.
“The fact that we have people from across the AMC enterprise here means that we carry with us all the resources of all those commands. Having a team that’s able to reach back and dip into the expertise from across the enterprise has been invaluable,” said Lovely, who works as a battle captain at ASC’s operations directorate.
“We’ve proven the concept, and now we’re seeing it grow as a result of that,” said Lovely. “It’s expanding and growing to cover more systems and reach further throughout the Ukrainian armed forces.”
“It’s proven to be very effective,” he added.
The 405th AFSB is assigned to ASC and under the operational control of the 21st Theater Sustainment Command, U.S. Army Europe and Africa. The brigade is headquartered in Kaiserslautern, Germany, and provides materiel enterprise support to U.S. Forces throughout Europe and Africa – providing theater sustainment logistics; synchronizing acquisition, logistics and technology; and leveraging AMC’s materiel enterprise to support joint forces.

Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party supremo Arvind Kejriwal, retaliating to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'revari' jibe earlier in the day, asserted that providing good education to the youth, and good health infrastructure to the people, is not ' muft ki revari baatna (distributing free of cost sweets)' on Saturday. Earlier in the day, in Uttar Pradesh's Bundelkhand, PM Modi had cautioned people against what he called a 'revari (sweet) culture' under which, 'by promising freebies, parties sought votes'.
#BREAKING | Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal responds to PM Modi's 'rewadi' jibe, says 'we have given good education and free treatment to people.'

"I am giving good education to students, but at no cost, for free, then what crime am I committing? After independence, government schools got more than 99% results for the first time. When I tell you the figures, you say that Kejriwal is thumping his own chest. But, in the past years, more than 4 lakhs of private school students have enrolled in government schools. This is no small deal. Today, the children of the poor, and the downtrodden are qualifying for IITs and studying courses like Mechanical Engineering. Similarly, they are qualifying for NEET and studying medical," Kejriwal said.
Citing the example of Gagan, whose father--a labourer, who, during the pandemic period, had lost his job--Kejriwal highlighted how he had made it to IIT Dhanbad, in the domain of Computer Engineering. "Ask him, if Kejriwal is distributing free sweets or making the future of India. There are thousands of such kids, whose futures have been made bright by us. This work should have been done in 1947, in 1950, which we are doing today," the AAP supremo said.
Coming to the health infrastructure, Kejriwal highlighted how they have made grand mohalla clinics, which are 'being admired and discussed globally'. "In the world, Delhi is only one such unique city where the treatment of the whole of the population- 2 crores in number- is free of cost. We don't ask about his/her religion, community, whether rich or poor, everyone is being treated free. 30 lakh, 40 lakh whatever the cost, it is being incurred by us. Is this distributing sweets for free?" the Delhi Chief Minister further added. | https://www.republicworld.com/india-news/politics/kejriwal-responds-to-pm-modis-revari-jibe-giving-good-education-for-free-is-a-crime-articleshow.html | 2022-07-18T12:38:02Z | https://www.republicworld.com/india-news/politics/kejriwal-responds-to-pm-modis-revari-jibe-giving-good-education-for-free-is-a-crime-articleshow.html | false | 1 |
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission will closely investigate ANZ’s $4.9 billion takeover of Queensland-based Suncorp Bank, but will ultimately clear the deal because it doesn’t substantially lessen competition.
That is the view of practitioners contacted on Monday, who say the issue is whether the deal will give ANZ significant power in the Queensland market first and national market second, with the answer to both being no.
Instead, the bank will argue small business and other customers will benefit from the increased market strength of both Suncorp and ANZ, which will result in more competition for the majors.
That said, the ACCC will clear the deal between gritted teeth because giving any of the big four banks more power will not be done lightly.
As a Queenslander, federal Treasurer Jim Chalmers knows the state issues, and his assistant on competition issues, Andrew Leigh, has bemoaned the increased concentration in Australian industry.
Once the deal clears the ACCC, Dr Chalmers also has to clear the deal on national interest grounds and this opens potential issues for the transaction.
Arguably, a big bank getting bigger isn’t good for the national interest but of course ANZ will argue the opposite.
Dr Chalmers has yet to show where he stands on competition issues.
New ACCC chair
Financial services just happens to be an area of special competence for new ACCC chair Gina Cass-Gottlieb, who among a myriad of deals for the sector advised Westpac on its 2008 takeover of St George Bank.
In clearing that deal, the ACCC said it “reached the conclusion that, while St George Bank is a relatively innovative and dynamic competitor with a strong focus on customer service, other competitors to the merged entity which remain in the market will continue to play a similar role”.
Ms Cass-Gottlieb also represented JP Morgan in 2019 in a case helping identify cartel action against bankers from ANZ, Citigroup and Deutsche Bank.
If St George was something of a maverick in the market, Suncorp is not, but it’s a solid regional player and ANZ’s share of earnings from Queensland will increase from 14 per cent to 19 per cent if the deal goes through.
The proposed takeover will raise new questions for Bank of Queensland and Bendigo and Adelaide bank as the remaining regional powers.
Tougher competition for Big Four?
ANZ will increase its share of the home loan market in Queensland from 15 per cent to 19 per cent and in business from 15 per cent to 22 per cent.
ANZ will present the deal as pro-competitive, arguing the combination provides a boost to Suncorp and presents a more powerful competitor to market leader Commonwealth Bank (CBA).
In home loans nationally, CBA has a 25.7 per cent share of owner-occupied loans, Westpac 20.7 per cent, a combined ANZ and Suncorp 15.4 per cent and NAB 13.9 per cent.
Back in 2008 when Mike Smith ran ANZ, he was poised to announce a Suncorp takeover, the day after then-federal treasurer Wayne Swan (another Queenslander) announced the bank guarantee.
This removed the need for Suncorp to find a partner with deep pockets.
About the same time, CBA boosted its market share in WA by buying Bankwest.
Then-ACCC boss Graeme Samuel has made clear the deal was cleared on instruction from the RBA, which was worried about a run on the regional banks.
Bank liquidity was the major macro concern at the time and former Westpac chief Brian Hartzer has since said St George also had liquidity concerns at the time of the Westpac takeover.
If liquidity was an issue in 2008 it is not yet the case today, with Suncorp being a strong regional bank.
ANZ also said on Monday it was withdrawing from the MYOB deal having now found a more traditional way to boost its lagging small business market share.
Speculation on the deal was a useful market diversion for ANZ from the main game.
Brokers play key role
Another issue for the ACCC is the fact mortgage brokers account for 67 per cent of home loan initiations.
This means the big four banks have less control on the sector, with CBA the only big bank that initiates more home loans in house than via brokers.
Even then, brokers account for 46 per cent of its loans.
ANZ is being advised on the Suncorp deal by Flagstaff and Ashurst, with Suncorp being advised by Barrenjoey.
ANZ will pick up a small market share and the number of big regionals will fall from three to two, but there is strong competition from CBA and the other big four banks, and from Macquarie, AMP and the fintechs.
The government’s consumer data rights legislation is aimed at putting more power in the hands of consumers to choose banking services to also increase competition.
For all its talk about its technology smarts, ANZ has chosen a very traditional route to increasing its market power and one it has long followed.

A Durga Puja committee in Gauri Bari area of north Kolkata, in their bid to go global with their theme, has drawn inspiration from the tiara, which Queen Elizabeth II of London wore during platinum jubilee celebration to mark the 70th year of accession of the queen.
The puja committee, Gouriberia Sarbojanin Durgotsab o Pradarshani has roped in the same designer, who designed the crown worn by Queen Elizabeth II for this year’s Puja.
Manta Mishra, joint secretary, Gouriberia Sarbojanin Durgotsab o Pradarshani, said, “After Durga Puja in Bengal got world heritage tag, we are using the theme Sarbojanin Ekhun Biswajanin (Community puja is now goes international). And, to bring in the international touch to our Puja, we have tied up with fashion designer Priyanka Mallick, who designed the crown for Queen Elizabeth II. She is from Hooghly.”
The committee in its 89th year with a budget of Rs 25 lakh has embarked on the theme Kaktarua (scarecrow).
“We are trying to give a message that we are with the farmers of Bengal and how their problems can be minimized. Theme artist Bapai Sen is coming up with a moving scarecrow model, which will help farmers keep birds at bay,” said the organizer.
Designer Priyanka Mallick, who is designing the crown, similar to the one adorned by the queen, said, “The two crowns will be different with my signature butterfly being the common factor. Diamond-cut stones will be used with sapphire blue replica on it. I want to juxtapose beauty and divine power of the cosmos. The wearer of the crown is the most powerful force in the cosmos. I will be putting three butterflies surrounding the blue diamond.”
The designer, who works from her workshop in Hooghly’s Badinan village has got online degrees from Milan, Italy and Harward and Stanford University, USA. | https://www.thestatesman.com/bengal/queen-elizabeth-ii-inspires-goddess-durgas-crown-1503091186.html | 2022-07-18T12:41:23Z | https://www.thestatesman.com/bengal/queen-elizabeth-ii-inspires-goddess-durgas-crown-1503091186.html | false | 1 |

Texas Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church has purchased eight acres in The Woodlands Hills as the site of a a new church. The sale marks the first commercial development activity in The Woodlands Hills, according to the Howard Hughes Corp., developer of the 2,000-acre master-planned community in the Willis and Conroe area north of Houston.
The new church will be located off FM 830, directly south of William Lloyd Meador Elementary School. Groundbreaking is planned in 2023.
“We are always looking for communities that are developing and growing their amenities, and we recognized The Woodlands Hills as an ideal place for a new church. By establishing a new congregation in this growing community, we have an opportunity to expand our outreach,” Dr. Jeff Olive, Central North District Superintendent, Texas Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church, said in an announcement. “The goal is to be an integral part of the live, play, learn, and worship component of emerging master planned communities such as The Woodlands Hills. This new church will represent the second in Conroe, complementing First Methodist Conroe.”
The Texas Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church is comprised of more than 600 congregations across East Texas.

Some local Boy Scouts in East Brainerd are growing strong skills to help feed the community after one mom's great idea.
"I'm just a mom you know, and I wanted to figure out what I was capable of doing to help the community and I saw the scouts, so yea, just do what you can and help," Chaney Lanham said.
Lanham is helping to feed the East Brainerd community. She got the idea after her son's Boy Scout troop was working on the produce beds in the church community
garden. They will take the produce they grow to fill this new fridge.
"These Scouts you know, the troop 137, could really make an impact for everybody. So we started working in the garden more and stuff is starting to produce now so we're like we really got to get this fridge going," She said.
The boys work on seeding, gardening, and picking the produce with the growing season now in full swing.
They have tomatoes, cucumbers, green beans, squash, and more. The next step will be harvesting for the fall season.
"We will start our winter squashes. Hopefully, we can harvest before our first frost," She said.
The Boy Scouts say they are happy they are making a difference.
"I hope to help the people that can't help themselves," Owen Patrick, Chaney's son said.
"I feel like I'm being a big help and that I'm doing something to this world that will leave a mark," Christopher Durham, Boy Scout Troop 137 said.

Living with posttraumatic stress disorder can cause a rapid decline in cognitive function.
Living with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can be incredibly tough. Those who suffer from PTSD often have flashbacks of the trauma experiences as well as repeated nightmares, anxiety, and depression. They can be incredibly hypervigilant towards unexpected stimuli and have difficulty sleeping. Now, new research suggests there’s more bad news for those living with this mental health condition – PTSD is associated with accelerated cognitive decline. The results were published online June 30 in JAMA Network Open.
In an analysis of more than 12,000 middle-aged women who had experienced at least one trauma in their lives, those with PTSD symptoms showed “an approximately two-fold faster decline in cognition during follow-up compared with those who did not have PTSD symptoms,” the study authors wrote, adding that the decline was not significantly associated with any particular symptom such as depression. However, covariates that could potentially be associated included “demographic, educational, and behavior-related health factors such as body mass index, physical activity, cigarette smoking, diet quality, and alcohol consumption.”
“PTSD may increase the risk of dementia by accelerating cognitive decline at midlife,” said coinvestigator Jiaxuan Liu, MPH, a doctoral candidate at the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, Boston, Massachusetts. “Our findings may suggest the value of earlier cognitive screening among individuals with PTSD and the importance of PTSD prevention and treatment across the lifespan.”
She added, “Cognitive decline at midlife and older is of vital public health interest. It is a risk factor for a variety of poor health outcomes and strongly predicts Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. Although PTSD has been linked to lower cognitive function and dementia incidence, it has not been known whether it is associated with decline in cognitive function. In addition, both PTSD and dementia are more common in women than in men, so it’s important to understand a possible link.”
The research team analyzed PTSD symptoms and their association with repeated measures of cognitive function among a large population of PTSD-diagnosed women aged 50 to 70. Participants were recruited from the Nurses’ Health Study II: a longitudinal study of a cohort of 116,429 US female nurses who were between 25 and 42 years old at in 1989. Among the women chosen, “95.9% were non-Hispanic White, 1.3% were Hispanic, 1% were Asian, 0.6% were Black, and 1.2% were classified as ‘other,’” they noted.
Lifetime trauma exposure and PTSD symptoms were assessed from March 1, 2008, to February 28, 2010, using the Short Screening Scale for DSM-IV PTSD. “In total, 67% of the participants reported experiencing PTSD symptoms,” the authors wrote.
The team also found that women with “four to five PTSD symptoms showed a worse rate of change in learning and working memory compared with those who had no symptoms, but not in psychomotor speed and attention. Women with one to three PTSD symptoms had similar cognitive scores to those of women without PTSD symptoms.”
“We thought PTSD might be associated with worse cognitive decline through health behaviors like smoking and alcohol drinking and higher risk of other health conditions like hypertension and depression,” Liu said. However, this was not the case. She explained, “We could not determine why women with PTSD had faster cognitive decline than those without PTSD,” and suggested, “PTSD may have effects on the brain, such as altering brain structures and affecting brain immune function. However, more research is needed to investigate these mechanisms that might underlie the association we found between PTSD and cognitive decline.”

Amid Russia’s shelling of Ukraine, Zelenskyy seeks to strengthen ranks
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — With Russian shelling across the country showing no signs of easing, Ukraine’s leaders on Monday were looking to strengthen their own ranks after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy removed from office some of his most prominent officials because of alleged “poor performance” over clearing their agencies of “collaborators and traitors.”
Internal investigations and checks will be launched following the replacement of the head of Ukraine’s Security Service, or SBU, Ivan Bakanov, and Prosecutor General Iryna Venediktova, said Andriy Smirnov, deputy head of Ukraine’s presidential office. Acting heads of the two agencies have been appointed in the meantime. officials said.
“Six months into the war, we continue to uncover loads of these people in each of these agencies,” said Andriy Smirnov, the deputy head of Ukraine’s presidential office.
Analysts said the move is designed to strengthen Zelenskyy’s control over the army and the security agencies that have been led by people appointed before the war. Zelenskyy “needs an effective Prosecutor (General’s) office, and (an effective) SBU” agency, Volodymyr Fesenko, political analyst with the Penta Center think tank, told The Associated Press.
“In the conditions of a war, Zelenskyy needs leaders that are capable of tackling several tasks at the same time -- to resist Russia’s intrigues within the country to create a fifth column, to be in contact and coordination with international experts, to do their actual job effectively,” Fesenko said.
Bakanov and Venediktova both have held key positions amid Ukraine’s efforts to defend itself from the Russian invasion and hold the Russian attackers accountable for the crimes against civilians during the war, which started on Feb. 24.
Bakanov is Zelenskyy’s childhood friend and former business partner whom he had appointed to head the SBU. Bakanov had come under growing criticism over security breaches since the war began, and reports have emerged in the past few months that Zelenskyy was looking to replace him.
Venediktova, the first woman to serve as Ukraine’s prosecutor general, has won international praise for her relentless drive to gather evidence against Russian President Vladimir Putin, Russian officials and military commanders over the destruction of Ukrainian cities and the killing of civilians.
The 43-year-old former law professor has opened thousands of criminal investigations and identified hundreds of suspects while in office, interviewing victims while also coordinating her efforts with foreign donors and officials. When she took office in 2020, Venediktova started as a reformer set to curb inefficiency and corruption in her office.
After appointing the acting chief prosecutor on Sunday, Zelenskyy on Monday signed a decree naming first deputy head of the SBU, Vasyl Maliuk, as the acting head of the agency. Maluik, 39, is known for his efforts to fight corruption in the security agencies and his appointment is seen as part of Zelenskyy’s efforts to get rid of pro-Russian staffers within the SBU.
“Maliuk was fighting corruption within the SBU, so (he) has compromising materials on many staff members and can control the personnel, many of whom are looking in the direction of Russia,” political analyst Vadym Karasiov, head of the Global Strategies Institute, told the AP.
Fesenko, the political analyst, added that discontent with the two officials has been brewing for a while and that it was possible that Ukraine’s Western partners pointed out the underperformance of the SBU and the prosecutor general’s office to Zelenskyy.
Meanwhile, Russia pressed forward with its attacks, which Ukrainian officials said were designed to intimidate the civilian population and sow panic among them.
Ukraine’s presidential office said Monday that Russian shelling over the past day killed at least four civilians and wounded 13 more. Cities and villages in seven Ukrainian regions have suffered from the attacks, the update said.
The highest number of civilian casualties was reported in the eastern Donetsk region, where the most intense fighting is focused at the moment -- two people were killed there and 10 others were wounded.
Donetsk governor Pavlo Kyrylenko said that the shelling of the region is incessant. Four strikes have been carried out on the city of Kramatorsk, he said, urging civilians to evacuate from the area.
“We’re seeing that the Russians want to sow fear and panic among the civilians -- the shelling continues day and night,” Kyrylenko said in televised remarks. “The front line is moving, so civilians must leave the region and evacuate.”
The southern city of Mykolaiv was shelled on Monday morning, while two people were killed and two others were wounded in the shelling of residential buildings in In Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city.
“The shelling either intensifies, or dies down, but the Russian army doesn’t stop the fire on the Kharkiv region and keeps civilians in constant tension,” Kharkiv Gov. Oleh Syniehubov told Ukrainian TV.
Also Monday, a funeral was held at a monastery in Kyiv for a Ukrainian solider who was killed when his car hit a land mine near Izium on July 14, but whose family couldn’t bury him in their hometown in eastern Ukraine because it remains under Russian occupation. St. Michael’s Golden-Domed Monastery was packed with grievers paying their last respects to “Fanat,” as the soldier born in 1994 was known. Any time the priest paused in his service, the voice of the soldier’s mother echoed in the church.
‘We will love you forever and ever. We will miss you so much,” she cried, caressing the closed coffin. ‘Why do we need to live in this cursed war?’

Bank of Israel unanimously backed 50 bps July hike to fight inflation
Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com
JERUSALEM, July 18 (Reuters) - All six rate setters at the Bank of Israel supported raising the benchmark interest rate (ILINR=ECI) by 0.5 point to 1.25% at their July 4 meeting in a move that escalated a battle against rising inflation, the central bank's minutes showed on Monday.
The hike, which had been expected, was the third straight rate rise since April and the tightening cycle is expected to last into next year, aimed at curbing increasing price pressures.
"The Committee members’ assessment was that the Israeli economy is recording strong growth, accompanied by a tight labour market and an increase in the inflation environment in Israel and worldwide," the minutes said.
Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com
It said that the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) decided that "conditions support a continued process of increasing the interest rate", with its pace dependent on future economic and inflation data.
At the same time, the bank cited sharp U.S. rate hikes and the start of tightening in Europe.
The next rate decision is slated for Aug. 22. Economists project another half-point rise and at least a 2.75% interest rate by next year.
Inflation at the time of the decision had reached a 4.1% annual rate. In June, it gained to a 14-year high of 4.4% -- above an official 1-3% target but half the level of the United States and Euro bloc.
Policymakers blamed much of the inflation spike on supply chain disruptions, gains in oil and other commodities prices and a weaker shekel , as well as rising domestic demand and a full-employment economy with wage pressures in most private sector industries. The jobless rate stood at 3.4% in June, official data showed on Monday.
The central bank expects a 4.5% inflation rate in 2022, easing to 2.4% in 2023.
"Committee members were of the view that at the current time, the risks of inflation are contingent on global developments, particularly in Eastern Europe, and on domestic factors such as increases in wages," the minutes said.
After an 8.2% spurt in 2021, Israel's economy is forecast to grow 5% this year. The central bank expressed some concern of an adverse impact to Israel's high-tech sector, a main growth driver, but said that unlike the crash in 2000, "today’s high tech industry is more dispersed, entrenched, and has access to sources of financing."

As Pender County prepares to operate Abbey Nature Preserve, here's what to know
The Abbey Nature Preserve is likely worth millions, but it will cost Pender County just five dollars a year to operate the park in Scotts Hill.
Pender County's Board of Commissioners approved a lease agreement with the owners to operate and maintain 62 acres of the property. For many decades, the preserve near the Poplar Grove Plantation was owned by the Foy family. It was later acquired by Mungo Homes, as part of a purchase of a 242-acre tract.
The Tennessee-based corporation under Clayton Properties Group, Inc. approached the county for the agreement.
According to Pender officials, the county intends to take full ownership within the next few years and formally establish the preserve as a county park. The property is currently held under a conservation easement through the North Carolina Coastal Land Trust. Some of the features in includes a wooded trail, dam and pond.
David Piepmeyer, chairman of the Pender County Board of Commissioners, said it was a win-win for both the county and residents, in addition to other people coming to visit.
"This is an item that's been in the works for several years actually," Piepmeyer said Monday to his board colleagues and the audience. "So, this allows the county and the general public to have access to this piece of property, which is great. It's a beautiful piece of property and we will be responsible for maintaining, which we already do with our other parks."
David Williams, who is retiring after 20 years as a commissioner, said he was glad to be able to participate in the decision during his last meeting. He thanked the Foy family for its preservation work and contributions to the area.
"Bob Foy has wanted this to happen for decades," Williams said. "They've been maintaining this on a family dime, up until this point. I'm glad that I get to take part in this vote."
What's next?
During the meeting, county attorney Trey Thurman said additional legal provisions will follow such as the Foy family having access across the property. He said the county and the Mungo Homes were in agreement that they didn't want every homeowner having having those rights.
"Because that means every homeowner could then drive their four-wheeler across the preserve," he said providing the example, in addition to having the ability to close it at night.
Since the parking area accessed through U.S. 17 is not in the area, Piepmeyer added a new access point and trailhead will be established through Scotts Hill Loop Road near the Scotts Hill Baptist Church.
The Property Shop International Realty sold more than 200 acres of the land in the Scotts Hill area for $16 million to Mungo Homes, which built home communities in several states in U.S. Southeast region. Seven are in the Wilmington region.
Looking back
In 2005, The Foy family began working with The Coastal Land Trust to protect the area. The goal is to conserve natural areas and working landscapes along the coast of North Carolina.
Funding was provided by The Coastal Land Trust for a two-mile-plus trail system and other water-related features after the Foy family implemented a plan for it. A conservation agreement followed after financial assistance from the Clean Water Management Trust Fund.
The nature preserve was dedicated in memory of the late Margaret Abbey Foy Moore, who died from breast cancer. Her family members wanted to keep her memory alive by saving the acres of woods where she played as a child.
"She would be very happy with it," said Bob Foy of his sister Margaret in a 2008 StarNews article. "As well as preserving the nature part of it, it's also preserving part of Poplar Grove, which is where we grew up."

The Foy family settled Pender County more than 300 years ago, and later established the largest peanut farm in the state on a plantation, where the nature preserve is now. Zach White, supervisor for Pender County Parks and Recreation, said Abbey Nature Preserve is rich in history.
"We're pleased that we can preserve this area for recreation for generations to come," White stated in a news release.
Travis Henley, Pender County planning and community development director, is also looking towards the future.
“We are grateful to the Foy Family for providing Abbey Nature Preserve for the enjoyment of everyone for so many years and for Mungo Homes in recognizing the importance of Abbey Nature Preserve and working with the County to ensure its continued protection,” Henley stated.

Antibodies from hen eggs may be used to treat COVID-19: Study
Spike protein is used by the virus to enter and infect human cells. The beauty of the system is that you can produce a lot of antibodies in birds, said Rodrigo Gallardo, a professor at UC Davis. In addition to a low cost to produce these antibodies in hens, they can be updated very fast by using updated antigens to hyper-immunized hens, allowing protection against current variant strains, said Gallardo, co-author of the study published in the journal Viruses. The researchers noted that birds produce a type of antibody called IgY, comparable to IgG in humans and other mammals.

- United States
Antibodies harvested from hen eggs may be used to treat COVID-19 patients or as a preventive measure for people exposed to the viral disease, according to a study.
Researchers at the University of California, Davis in the US have been able to produce antibodies to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in hen eggs. Spike protein is used by the virus to enter and infect human cells.
''The beauty of the system is that you can produce a lot of antibodies in birds,'' said Rodrigo Gallardo, a professor at UC Davis.
''In addition to a low cost to produce these antibodies in hens, they can be updated very fast by using updated antigens to hyper immunized hens, allowing protection against current variant strains,'' said Gallardo, co-author of the study published in the journal Viruses.
The researchers noted that birds produce a type of antibody called IgY, comparable to IgG in humans and other mammals. IgY does not cause allergies or set off immune reactions when injected into humans.
The antibody appears both in birds' serum and in their eggs.
''As a hen lays about 300 eggs a year, you can get a lot of IgY,'' Gallardo said.
The researchers immunized hens with two doses of three different vaccines based on the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein or receptor binding domain.
They measured antibodies in blood samples from the hens and egg yolks three and six weeks after the last immunization.
Purified antibodies were tested for their ability to block coronavirus from infecting human cells at George Mason University in Virginia, US.
Both eggs and sera from immunized hens contained antibodies that recognized SARS-CoV-2.
''Antibodies from serum were more effective in neutralizing the virus, probably because there is more antibody in blood overall,'' Gallardo said.
Gallardo is working with colleagues at Stanford University, US, and the University of Technology, Sydney, Australia to develop the egg-based antibody technology.
The team hopes to deploy these antibodies in a preventative treatment such as a spray that could be used by people at high risk of coronavirus exposure.

- Bitcoin bounced above $22,000 on Monday, hitting its highest level in more than a month.
- Other cryptocurrencies also bounced with ether up more than 10% versus the price 24 hours ago and Polygon's MATIC token up 21%.
- The cryptocurrency market held out hope that the contagion and shakeout over the past few weeks is nearing its end.
Bitcoin bounced above $22,000 on Monday, hitting its highest level in more than a month as the cryptocurrency market held out hope that the contagion and shakeout over the past few weeks is nearing its end.
The world's largest cryptocurrency was trading around $22,135.30 at 8:57 a.m. ET, according to CoinDesk data, up around 4%. Bitcoin traded as high as $22,493.61 in the past 24 hours, the highest since June 16.
Other cryptocurrencies also bounced with ether up more than 9% versus the price 24 hours ago and Polygon's MATIC token up 16%.
The bullish sentiment was helped by a rally in stock markets in Europe and Asia. U.S. stock futures were also higher. Cryptocurrencies, in particularly bitcoin, has been closely correlated with equity market trade. Often, a rise in stocks will also lift sentiment in the crypto market.
But investors are also watching whether the carnage over the last few weeks, which has seen bitcoin near 70% off its all-time high that was hit in November and billions of dollars wiped off the market, might be over.
The price crash has brought the downfall of several high-profile companies in the space, most notably hedge fund Three Arrows Capital and crypto lender Celsius, both of which have filed for bankruptcy.
Money Report
These collapses have caused contagion across the industry and seen other associated companies come under pressure.
Much of this has been caused by the huge amounts of leverage and borrowing that has taken place in this latest crypto cycle. Three Arrows Capital for example took out loans it was unable to pay back once the crypto collapse took place. Celsius, which offered customers yields over 18% for depositing their digital coins, took on high risk trading activities to earn the interest to try to give back to its users.
Crypto companies have been selling off whatever assets they have to try to meet their liabilities which has put pressure on the broader market.
Analysts say there are signs this contagion could be slowing.
"The worst of market contagion has likely run its course, with the majority of forced selling behind us," David Moreno, research analyst at CryptoCompare, wrote in a research note.
Despite the rally, the crypto market is still suffering. Both bitcoin and ether are down more than 50% this year. Bitcoin had its worst quarter in more than a decade in the second quarter.
Analysts are still not convinced of any significant move higher in the near term.
"Given the severely negative performance in Q2, it is unsurprising that a 'relief' bounce has occurred. We believe the market will continue range-bound over the coming months," Moreno said. | https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/business/money-report/bitcoin-tops-22000-as-crypto-market-hopes-contagion-and-shakeout-is-over-ether-jumps-10/2940064/ | 2022-07-18T13:08:25Z | https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/business/money-report/bitcoin-tops-22000-as-crypto-market-hopes-contagion-and-shakeout-is-over-ether-jumps-10/2940064/ | true | 3 |

Walter Fischli, Biotech entrepreneur and investor commented "From personal experience, I know the great yet largely untapped, investment opportunity that exists in Biotech in Switzerland and its neighboring countries.

Lebanon’s Baalbek festival back, despite economic collapse
BAALBEK, Lebanon (AP) — Lebanon’s renowned Baalbek festival is back and is being held in front of a live audience for the first time since 2019. French pianist Simon Ghraichy performed in front of a full house on Sunday night in what organizers described as a night of hope for Lebanon’s revival. The annual festival in the ancient northeastern city of soaring Roman columns has long attracted celebrities from around the world. It took a major hit as a result of Lebanon’s ongoing, nearly 3-year economic crisis and the coronavirus pandemic, which forced organizers for the past two years to broadcast live from the site, without an audience. | https://ktvz.com/news/ap-national-news/2022/07/18/lebanons-baalbek-festival-back-despite-economic-collapse/ | 2022-07-18T13:09:34Z | https://ktvz.com/news/ap-national-news/2022/07/18/lebanons-baalbek-festival-back-despite-economic-collapse/ | true | null |

Third annual report from Optavise (formerly DirectPath) demonstrates why ongoing health benefits education is critical
CARMEL, Ind., July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Optavise (formerly known as DirectPath), a one-stop shop for employee benefits programs offering a combination of products, technology, and expert guidance, today released a new report, Healthcare Literacy Takes One Step Forward, Two Steps Back.
The report highlights the need for greater healthcare literacy education as 62% of respondents stated they don't always compare costs before receiving care, which could mean they are overpaying for healthcare services. Only 10% of respondents stated they check whether a medical provider or facility is in-network whenever their health plan changes (down from 25% in 2021). The survey was based on responses from 1,055 U.S. workers with employer-sponsored health insurance.
According to Optavise's new report, employees are very eager to make smarter healthcare decisions and save money. Other key findings include survey respondents wanting to know how to:
- Avoid surprise medical bills (39%)
- Understand how their deductible, copay/coinsurance and out-of-pocket maximum (OOPM) work, and how it impacts their wallet (33%)
- Review an explanation of benefits (EOB) and medical bill for errors (30%)
- Research healthcare costs and why it matters (29%)
- Choose a plan and where to get care (22%)
"From inflation to a greater number of Americans facing medical debt, it is critical that consumers have the information they need to make cost-conscious healthcare decisions," said Kim Buckey, vice president, client services at Optavise. "While new regulations have gone into effect to help curb surprise medical bills, these regulations alone are often not enough to reduce healthcare spending, especially since hospitals may not be in compliance and consumers generally do not know that these regulations exist."
To ensure employees receive the support they need to increase their healthcare literacy and improve their financial wellness, more employers are partnering with benefits educators and digitizing education. According to the Optavise survey, 26% of polled employees say their employers offered presentations and group sessions with benefits educators and outside resources (up from 22% in 2021), and 24% offered one-on-one conversations with these outside resources (up from 16% in 2021). More than half of respondents (53%) said that their company has made online resources available, up from 41% in 2021—likely due to the shift to remote or hybrid workforces.
"It is encouraging that employees want to increase their healthcare literacy rates to improve their financial situations," added Buckey. "More employers, however, need to rise to the occasion. Employees are demanding more financial wellness support, meaning employers need to offer health benefits education. This is critical for employees to receive accurate, timely and consistent information about how to choose and use their health plans so that they—and the company—are not overspending on healthcare services."
For more information about the report, visit this link.
Methodology
Optavise surveyed 1,055 U.S. workers with employer-sponsored health plans who do not work in the insurance industry.

President Cyril Ramaphosa has called on the nation to dedicate 67 minutes to serving others and making a difference in communities in honour of Nelson Mandela on his birthday.
“At a time when so much of the world is beset by hardship and strife, we are inspired by Madiba’s words that ‘it is in our hands to make a difference and to make the world a better place’,” wrote Ramaphosa in his letter to the nation.
“Across the length and breadth of our country today, South Africans are taking Madiba’s message to heart. They are making a positive contribution. They are volunteering in shelters and care facilities. They are helping to feed and clothe the needy. They are helping to clean their communities. They are performing acts of kindness and service, both big and small.”
He said the Nelson Mandela Day is about inculcating a culture of service that lasts beyond the 67 minutes every year on July 18.
He wrote: “This is a difficult time for our country. We are in the midst of an energy crisis that is causing great hardship. A spate of violent crimes is heightening fear and insecurity in communities.
“Even as our economy is recovering from the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, poverty and unemployment is taking a heavy toll on millions who are struggling to make ends meet. Corruption has eaten away at our nation’s soul and has severely eroded the social compact between the state and citizens.
“Nelson Mandela Day is an opportunity to remember that these problems, like so many we have faced before, are not insurmountable. They can be overcome.
“This day is an opportunity to recommit ourselves to upholding the values Madiba stood for and to building the South Africa to which he dedicated his life.”
Ramphosa said Mandela always reminded us that there is no easy walk to freedom and that we share a common responsibility for nation-building.
“Time and again, we have been pulled back from the brink by the activism and resilience of our people. Community, faith-based and grassroots organisations have acted in defence of human rights, our constitution and the interests of our citizens.
“At times when the state has faltered, it has been civil society that has reminded us of our obligation to advance the ideals for which Madiba and generations of freedom fighters made such sacrifices.”
He said the programme for democratic renewal launched by a group of civil society organisations early in July, which calls for people’s power to be reignited, is to be welcomed.
“It is a call for communities to organise and mobilise around economic inclusion, social and climate justice and ethical behaviour. Many civil society organisations are rooted in our communities and have the keenest appreciation of the struggles of our people.
“Engaging and working with government to overcome the challenges in our society is what participatory democracy is all about. During the Covid-19 pandemic, this collaboration between government, civil society and other social partners was instrumental in responding to a dire health emergency and providing support to society’s most vulnerable. Such partnerships are vital as we strive to rebuild our economy.
“Building a better South Africa requires each and every one of us to make a contribution in whatever way we can. Defending our democracy begins with individual acts, like joining a community policing forum, volunteering at a charity or a shelter, reporting crime or refusing to pay a bribe.”
He added that South Africans cannot leave it to others to realise the South Africa of our dreams.
“The future of our country is indeed in our hands. Wherever you may be today, I wish you a happy and meaningful Nelson Mandela Day.”

Parliament's Monsoon session gets off to stormy start; PM urges MPs to make session as productive as possible
Naidus five-year term as Vice President and Rajya Sabha Chairman ends on August 10.Speaking to reporters, Modi said Parliament functions and takes best decisions with everyones prayaas efforts and urged parliamentarians to make full use of this session in national interest.We always consider the House an efficient medium of dialogue, a pilgrimage place.
- Country:
- India
The Monsoon session of Parliament got off to a stormy start on Monday leading to the adjournment of the two Houses without transacting much business following an opposition uproar over issues ranging from price rises to the Agnipath scheme.
The uproar broke out even as Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged MPs before the start of the parliamentary proceedings to make the session as productive as possible and called for debate, criticism, and analysis for positive contribution to policies and decisions. In a lighter vein, he remarked that in Delhi rains have begun, but the heat outside is not reducing and wondered whether the heat will come down inside Parliament.
Presiding over his last session as Chairman of the Rajya Sabha, M Venkaiah Naidu also urged MPs to be ''different and better'' than they were in the last five years when 57 percent of House sittings were partly or fully disrupted. Naidu's five-year term as Vice President and Rajya Sabha Chairman ends on August 10.
Speaking to reporters, Modi said Parliament functions and takes the best decisions with everyone's 'prayaas' (efforts) and urged parliamentarians to make full use of this session in the national interest.
''We always consider the House an efficient medium of dialogue, a pilgrimage place. Where there is a dialogue with an open mind, there are fierce debates if needed, there is also criticism and by very good analysis of things a very positive contribution can be made to policies and decisions,'' the prime minister added.
He urged all MPs to undertake deep thinking and discussion, and make the House as productive and fruitful as possible.
''For that everyone's contribution is needed. Democracy functions with everyone's 'prayaas' (efforts), House functions with everyone's 'prayaas', and House takes the best decisions with everyone's 'prayaas'. And therefore, to enhance the dignity of the House, while fulfilling our duties, we should make the most of this session in the national interest,'' Modi said.
Subject to exigencies of government business, the Monsoon Session will conclude on August 12.
The morning session of the Lok Sabha was adjourned to allow members to vote in the presidential election even as opposition members tried to raise some issues.
In the Rajya Sabha, slogan-shouting Congress members trooped to the Well of the House raising issues relating to price rise and GST as soon as Naidu read out the obituary references.
''As some people have come determined not to allow the House to function and also enable members to go and vote in the Presidential election, I am adjourning the House for the day,'' Naidu said.
In the Lok Sabha, three newly-elected members -- Bollywood actor and Trinamool Congress' Shatrughan Sinha (Asansol, West Bengal) and two BJP members from Uttar Pradesh Dinesh Lal Yadav Nirahua (Azamgarh) and Ghanshyam Singh Lodhi (Rampur) -- took their oath.
As opposition members raised slogans, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla said elections in India are celebrated as a ''festival'' and since the Presidential polls were underway, it should also be celebrated.
The Speaker said members should participate in the ''festival'' and adjourned the House till 2 pm.
Besides Modi, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Home Minister Amit Shah, and Congress President Sonia Gandhi were among those present in the Lok Sabha.
As the Lok Sabha reconvened at 2 pm, members of the Left parties were in the well of the House waving placards protesting rising inflation while Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury tried to raise some issues.
Earlier in the day, Chowdhury said the opposition wanted to raise issues such as price rise and the Agnipath scheme, a new scheme for recruitment of soldiers.
BJP member Rajendra Agarwal, who was in the chair, allowed the laying of parliamentary papers on the table of the House. Law Minister Kiren Rijiju introduced the Family Courts (Amendment) Bill.
As the opposition uproar continued, Agarwal adjourned the proceedings for the day.
Outside Parliament, Modi also urged MPs to remember every moment those who spent their youth, their lives for freedom, and those who embraced martyrdom for it.
''Keeping their dreams in mind, and when August 15 is before us, then the House should be utilized most positively. This is my request,'' Modi said.
''This period is very important. It is the period of 'Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav'. August 15 has a special significance and for the coming 25 years, when the country will celebrate its centenary, then how our journey of 25 years is, how fast we move forward, how many new heights we scale, it is a period for making such resolutions,'' Modi said.
''Giving direction to the country by being devoted to those resolutions, ensuring that the House leads the country, all the members of the House become instrumental in filling new energy in the nation. In that sense, this session is also very important.'' Naidu said this is the last session in the 75th year of Independence and MPs should give their best performance to make it a memorable session.
''During the last 13 sessions, 141 of the 248 scheduled full sittings, accounting for 57 percent of the total sittings were disrupted partly or fully,'' he said. ''All of you would agree that this could have been better given our mission for the nation. Better late than never. It is time now to be different and better.'' Naidu, whose remarks were disrupted by slogan shouting by Congress MPs seeking discussions on rising prices, said he would give a detailed account of the functioning of the Rajya Sabha during the last five years on his last day in office.
''I would like to remind all of you that this is the last session in the 75th year of our hard-fought Independence that is being celebrated across the country.
''As in the case of all the last 13 sessions that I presided over, I would like to fervently appeal to all of you to give out your best performance to make this session a memorable one, particularly in the context of its significance,'' he said.
Naidu said he expected the session to set the right tone for the functioning of the House over the next 25 years of 'Amrit Kaal', which is a critical period to take India to an entirely new plane.

- Enables Rapid Assessment of Critical Bleeding at the Point of Care, Reducing Inappropriate Transfusions and Improving Outcomes -
BEDFORD, Mass., July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Werfen today announced the 510(k) clearance of the ROTEM sigma Thromboelastometry System by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The ROTEM sigma delivers real-time, rapid and actionable results, now at the point of care (POC), to guide bleeding management. With clinical use throughout Europe, Australia, Asia, Latin America and Africa, the ROTEM sigma will be commercialized in the US in late 2022.
Built upon proven cup-and-pin technology, the ROTEM sigma leverages similar assays as its leading predecessor, the ROTEM delta Thromboelastometry System, used widely throughout North America and in thousands of peer-reviewed clinical studies. For a clear picture of coagulopathy, the ROTEM sigma provides at-a-glance assessment of clot firmness and stability, enabling hemostasis optimization, while minimizing blood loss. The result is a reduction in inappropriate transfusions, associated complications and cost—all essential to a successful patient blood management (PBM) program.
"Reducing inappropriate transfusions is paramount in healthcare today for patient safety, to help preserve blood supply, and for cost containment. Incorporating ROTEM sigma testing into a PBM program allows hospitals to achieve these goals," said Remo Tazzi, VP, Worldwide Marketing and Service, Hemostasis and Acute Care Diagnostics at Werfen. "By viewing real-time, actionable results in the operating room, surgeons, anesthesiologists, and other clinicians can make faster and more informed transfusion decisions, improving patient outcomes and enhancing hospital efficiency."
ROTEM sigma is fully integrated and automated, cartridge-based, and simple to operate, making it ideal for POC testing. Large, easy-to-view TEMograms provide clear, real-time viscoelastic testing results, for enhanced, rapid interpretation. With a comprehensive assay menu, and four independent channels, the ROTEM sigma facilitates targeted therapeutic decisions in a variety of clinical settings. For critical procedures, including those requiring heparin neutralization, the ROTEM sigma complete + hep cartridge delivers intraoperative results in the cardiovascular surgery and liver transplantation.
Citrated whole blood arterial or venous samples require no incubation time and testing is initiated in minutes. Early validated parameters, such as A5, are delivered faster than traditional methods, with actionable results in less than 15 minutes—essential in critical bleeding scenarios. Ready-to-use, room-temperature cartridges with integrated closed-tube sampling simplify testing, saving time and standardizing the testing process.
Werfen's new GEMweb Live real-time onscreen viewer consolidates diagnostic test results from ROTEM thromboelastometry systems, as well those from other networked systems in Werfen's portfolio of Acute Care Diagnostics (ACD) systems. Comprehensive, rapid test results, viewed on one screen, help guide goal-directed therapy and other critical intraoperative needs, before, during and after surgery, enabling faster clinical decision-making during cardiac surgery. Additionally, GEMweb Plus 500 Custom Connectivity provides centralized access to results from any networked Werfen ACD system, including ROTEM sigma.
The ROTEM sigma Thromboelastometry System is part of Werfen's integrated and comprehensive ACD product portfolio—helping clinicians and laboratorians achieve better patient outcomes, lower total cost of care, assure accreditation compliance and improve operational efficiency in hospital acute care settings. For Whole Blood Hemostasis testing, ROTEM thromboelastometry systems, the GEM Hemochron™ 100 system, and the VerifyNow™ platelet-reactivity testing system inform key clinical decisions regarding transfusion, bleeding risk and heparin dose adjustment during surgical and interventional procedures along with a clinical assessment of the patient's condition and other laboratory tests. For Blood Gas testing, the GEM Premier systems, including GEM Premier 5000 and 3500 systems, and Avoximeter™ portable CO-Oximeters, simplify POC operations by automating key labor- and skill-intensive tasks, including quality management and system maintenance. From Cardiovascular Operating Rooms and Catheterization Labs, to Intensive Care Units and Emergency Departments, whole-blood, cartridge-based systems with Werfen's integrated data management solutions, help hospitals improve efficiency and enhance patient care.

NEW YORK, July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Blue Owl Capital Inc. (NYSE: OWL) ("Blue Owl" or the "Company") today announced that the Company will redeem all of the outstanding redeemable warrants (the "Public Warrants") to purchase shares of the Company's Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Class A Shares"), pursuant to the Amended and Restated Warrant Agreement, dated May 19, 2021 (the "Warrant Agreement"), by and between the Company and Computershare Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as warrant agent (the "Warrant Agent"), for a redemption price of $0.10 per Public Warrant (the "Redemption Price"), that remain outstanding at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on August 18, 2022 (the "Redemption Date").
Under the terms of the Warrant Agreement, the Company is entitled to redeem all of the outstanding Public Warrants if the last sale price of the Class A Shares has been at least $10.00 per share on the trading day prior to the date on which a notice of redemption is given. This share price performance target has been met. At the direction of the Company, the Warrant Agent is delivering a notice of redemption to each of the registered holders of the outstanding Public Warrants. Certain warrants to purchase Class A Shares that were issued in a private placement (the "Private Placement Warrants" and, together with Public Warrants, the "Warrants") are not subject to redemption under the Warrant Agreement and may remain outstanding following the redemption. Following the Redemption Date, the Warrants are expected to be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange.
In accordance with the Warrant Agreement, upon delivery of the notice of redemption, the Public Warrants may be exercised either for cash or on a "cashless basis." Accordingly, holders may continue to exercise Public Warrants and receive Class A Shares in exchange for payment in cash of the $11.50 per warrant exercise price. Alternatively, a holder may surrender Public Warrants for a certain number of Class A Shares (such fraction determined by reference to the Warrant Agreement and described in the notice of redemption) that such holder would have been entitled to receive upon a cash exercise of a Public Warrant. Holders of Public Warrants that elect a "make-whole" cashless exercise of the Public Warrants will receive 0.239 Class A Shares for each Public Warrant surrendered for exercise. The exercise procedures are described in further detail in the notice of redemption and the election to purchase included therein.
The number of Class A Shares that each exercising warrant holder will receive by virtue of the make-whole cashless exercise (instead of paying the $11.50 per share cash exercise price) was calculated in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement based on the fair market value of the Class A Shares and the length of time to the applicable expiration of the Public Warrants. If any holder of Public Warrants would, after taking into account all of such holder's Public Warrants exercised at one time, be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share of Class A Shares, the number of shares the holder will be entitled to receive will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares.
None of Blue Owl, its board of directors or employees has made or is making any representation or recommendation to any holder of the Public Warrants as to whether to exercise, whether on a cash or cashless basis, or refrain from exercising any Public Warrants.
Any Public Warrants that remain unexercised at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Redemption Date will be void and no longer exercisable, and the holders will have no rights with respect to those Public Warrants, except to receive the Redemption Price.
Issuance of the Class A Shares underlying the Public Warrants has been registered by Blue Owl under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is covered by a registration statement filed on Form S-4 with, and declared effective by, the Securities and Exchange Commission (Registration No. 333-251866). Exercise of Public Warrants held in "street name" should be directed through the broker of the warrant holder. In addition to the broker, questions may also be directed to Computershare Trust Company, N.A., 150 Royall Street Suite 1600, Canton, MA 02021 (for overnight delivery) or PO Box 43011, Providence, RI 02940-3011 (for regular delivery), or by telephone at (866) 690-8162 (for toll free) or +1 (781) 575-4019 (for international).

For a sophisticated summertime dessert, it’s not always necessary to reinvent the wheel. A classic ice cream sundae will hit the spot with the right toppings.
It’s partly what we had in mind when developing this recipe for a sesame oat crumble in our book “Milk Street Tuesday Nights,” which limits recipes to 45 minutes or less. This simple baked topping is a great way to add a nutty crunch to ice cream, though of course it also would improve other sweets, as well as breakfast yogurt.
We start with a mixture of oats, pumpkin seeds, brown sugar, flour, and white and black sesame seeds, then rub chilled butter into the mix to distribute the fat evenly. Tripling down on the sesame flavor, we fold into the oats a mixture of tahini (a paste of ground sesame seeds), sesame oil and vanilla extract, which adds a subtly sweet aroma.
If you prefer, instead of pumpkin seeds, use raw sunflower seeds or chopped nuts. And if you can’t find black sesame seeds, simply increase the white sesames to 3 tablespoons.
Once baked and chilled, crumble this nutty topping onto ice cream with whipped cream and chocolate or caramel sauce. And don’t forget the cherry.
Sesame-Oat Crumble
Start to finish: 40 minutes (15 minutes active)
Makes 3 cups
¼ cup tahini
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon toasted sesame oil
98 grams (¾ cup) all-purpose flour
43 grams (½ cup) old-fashioned rolled oats
82 grams (6 tablespoons) packed light brown sugar
23 grams (2 tablespoons) pumpkin seeds
13 grams (1½ tablespoons) black sesame seeds
13 grams (1½ tablespoons) white sesame seeds
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
6 tablespoons (¾ stick) salted butter, cut into ¼-inch cubes and chilled
Heat the oven to 350°F with a rack in the middle position. Line a rimmed baking sheet with kitchen parchment. In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, vanilla and sesame oil. Set aside.
In a large bowl, stir together the flour, oats, sugar, pumpkin seeds, both sesame seeds and the salt. Scatter the butter over it and, using your fingertips, rub the butter in until the mixture resembles wet sand and holds together when pinched. Drizzle with the tahini mixture, then fold with a rubber spatula until combined and the mixture forms marble-size clumps; smaller and larger bits are fine.
Spread the mixture in an even layer on the prepared sheet. Bake until the crumble is golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes, using a metal spatula to scrape up and flip the mixture 2 or 3 times during baking. Let cool to room temperature.

The first song from Ayan Mukerji's Brahmastra, titled Kesariya has been trending ever since it released on Sunday. The song, beautifully sung by Arijit Singh, has been picturised on Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor. The song, largely sung in Hindi, has two English words "Love Storiyan" in a line. Twitter users shared a couple of memes on how the two words seemed out of place in the otherwise flawless track. "Everything was going good in my life until I heard the word Love Storiyan in Kesariya song," wrote a Twitter user. Another Twitter user compared the bit to Arturo's character from the Netflix show Money Heist.
The Tamil and Telugu versions of the film have been sung by Sid Sriram.
First, check out the track here:

Brentford’s debut season in the Premier League went better than anyone could have ever imagined. Thomas Frank’s side defied expectations by finishing 13th and comfortably avoiding relegation – they did not spend a single day in the bottom three throughout the entire campaign.
There were lots of memorable moments including the historic 2-0 victory over Arsenal on the opening day, a thrilling 3-3 draw with Liverpool and an incredible 4-1 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
However, new challenges await. Brentford’s aim for the upcoming season is to consolidate their position in the top-flight and try to break into the top half of the table, but all of their rivals are strengthening.
Losing Christian Eriksen, who rejected a deal that would have made him the best paid player in the club’s history to join Manchester United on a three-year contract instead, is frustrating and Frank will need to work out how to replace his creativity. That blow has been cushioned by the arrivals of Keane Lewis-Potter, Aaron Hickey and Thomas Strakosha.
The appointments of Justin Cochrane and Ben Ryan, to the newly created positions of head of coaching and director of elite performance respectively, suggests the club is eager to improve in all departments.
With so much to digest and just under three weeks until the 2022-23 season starts, send your questions to The Athletic’s Brentford reporter Jay Harris and he will do his best to answer them. | https://theathletic.com/3431314/2022/07/18/brentford-mailbag-send-your-questions-to-jay-harris-2/ | 2022-07-18T13:29:21Z | https://theathletic.com/3431314/2022/07/18/brentford-mailbag-send-your-questions-to-jay-harris-2/ | false | 1 |
Entertainment is not something that is restricted to televisions, theatres, or clubs, rather it is the highlight of every wedding. Entertainment is the most important part of any celebration, and the DJ is the heart of every entertaining evening.
All weddings in India and abroad revolve around the best DJs as they bring the ambiance of fun, love, and unlimited memories to the family. Since DJ is the heart of every celebration, let's see who is the most asked for DJ in the scene of Indian and NRI weddings.
This DJ is known as the most versatile and groovy DJ. He is the one who makes every person move to his beats and leaves behind a trail of admiration and love for his music. The DJ is none other than DJ Roody Bajaj.
Having performed for the most renowned wedding celebration across the globe, sharing consoles with eminent singers and performers, DJ Roody leaves no scope for missing extravagant vibes. Well-versed with the choices of his audience, DJ Roody leaves no musical stone unturned from Retro to Punjabi to Regional music. Just like his enthusiastic flare of songs, the audience also takes up the flare like that of uptown Celebes rocking to his beats.
This audience and admiration for DJ Roody did not come in just one night, rather it was the outcome of hard work and dedication. After running from his home at the age of 16, he took up the task of learning deejaying and being a fervent student, he not learned deejaying but also started to play at places like J49, Taj Insomnia, Polyesters, Tendulkar’s, etc. However, in no time he had to move back to Kanpur as his father was bedridden for the last 20 years and the social pressure left no further scope for his dreams.
But being the ardent self that he was, he shifted to Delhi in 2009 for he believed that it was only Deejaying that he wanted as a career and nothing else. Working harder than ever, he did was most could not even think of. He left a mark on all those who thought Deejaying was nothing but a hobby. He was aired on FM stations all over India and Abroad, and he became the most asked for DJ at most popular clubs his USP was being close in Interaction with the crowd and rocking private parties and PRE wedding functions.
The name ROODY was taken by him as he was sometimes called rude by the members of the audience as he refused to take song requests. However, this turned out well for him. For DJ Roody music is the expression to bring our feeling and this is also in the form of dance. He says, “I don’t care if it’s Bollywood music, techno, or trance. The motive is for people to enjoy and dance to my tunes. I live for my audience and by the time they and I have a deep connection, there is nothing that can stop me.”
From clubs and parties to big fat weddings, DJ Roody has marked his presence everywhere. He is not just the most asked for DJ but also the most loved and admired one. Undoubtedly, his so-called roody behaviour is best for the wedding vibe all-over. | https://www.mid-day.com/brand-media/article/the-wedding-vibe-of-the-season-dj-roody-and-his-versatile-music-23236563 | 2022-07-18T13:29:56Z | https://www.mid-day.com/brand-media/article/the-wedding-vibe-of-the-season-dj-roody-and-his-versatile-music-23236563 | false | 1 |
PARIS — Firefighters battled wildfires raging out of control in France and Spain on Sunday as Europe wilted under an unusually extreme heat wave that authorities in Madrid blamed for hundreds of deaths.
Two huge blazes that have consumed pine forests for six days in southwestern France have forced the evacuation of some 14,000 people, and led authorities shut down access to Europe’s tallest sand dune, the much-visited Dune du Pilat. Water-dropping planes zig-zagged the area, as flames lapped at the edge of a farm field, and smoke blanketed the skyline above a mass of singed trees, in images shared by firefighters.
In Spain, firefighters supported by military brigades tried to stamp out over 30 fires consuming forests spread across the country. Spain’s National Defense Department said that “the majority” of its fire-fighting aircraft have been deployed to reach the blazes, many of which are in rugged, hilly terrain that is difficult for ground crews to access.
Drought conditions in the Iberian Peninsula have made it particularly susceptible to wildfires — some caused by lightning, others by accident, and even some intentionally set — after a mass of hot air blew up from Africa.
Fire season has hit parts of Europe earlier than usual this year after a dry, hot spring that the European Union has attributed to climate change. Some countries are experiencing extended droughts, while many are sweltering in heat waves.
So far, there have been no fire-related deaths in France or Spain. In Portugal, a pilot of a firefighting plane died when his aircraft crashed on Friday.
But as temperatures remain unusually high, heat-related deaths have soared. In Spain’s second heat wave of the summer, many areas have repeatedly seen peaks of 109 degrees Fahrenheit. According to Spain’s Carlos III Institute, which records temperature-related fatalities daily, 360 deaths were attributed to high temperatures from July 10 to 15. That was compared with 27 temperature-related deaths the previous six days.
The death of a street cleaner after he suffered heat stroke while working has led Madrid’s town hall to give its street cleaners the option to work in the evenings to avoid the worst spells of the day.
About half of France was under a heat wave warning Sunday, with scorching temperatures expected to climb higher on Monday. The government has stepped up efforts to protect people in nursing homes, the homeless and other vulnerable populations after a vicious heat wave and poor planning led to nearly 15,000 deaths in 2003, especially among the elderly.
Meanwhile, the fire in La Teste-de-Buch, in the Bordeaux area, has forced 10,000 people to flee at a time when many flock to the nearby Atlantic coast area for vacation. The Gironde regional government said on Sunday afternoon that “the situation remains very unfavorable” due to gusting winds that helped fan more flare-ups overnight.
“The emergency services are prioritizing protecting the population, preserving sensitive areas and limiting the progression of the fire,” authorities said, without addressing when they might be able to bring it under control.
A second fire near the town of Landiras, south of a valley of Bordeaux vineyards, has forced authorities to evacuate 4,100 people this week. Authorities said that one flank has been brought under control by the dumping of white sand along a 1.2-mile stretch. Another flank, however, remains unchecked.
People who were forced to flee shared worries about their abandoned homes with local media, and local officials organized special trips for some to fetch pets they had left behind in the rush to get to safety.
Overall, more than 40 square miles of land have burned in the two fires.
Scorching temperatures have even reached northern Europe. An annual four-day walking event in the Dutch city of Nijmegen announced Sunday that it would cancel the first day, scheduled for Tuesday, when temperatures are forecast to hit 99 degrees Fahrenheit.
Even in Britain, better known for gray skies and rain, the weather agency has issued its first-ever “red warning” of extreme heat for today and Tuesday, when temperatures in southern England may reach 104 F for the first time.
College of Paramedics Chief Executive Tracy Nicholls warned Sunday that the “ferocious heat” could “ultimately, end in people’s deaths.”
Britain’s expected temperatures are still far below the 117 F recorded in Portugal’s northern town of Pinhao on Wednesday, establishing a new national record. | https://www.midfloridanewspapers.com/highlands_news-sun/fires-scorch-france-spain-temperature-related-deaths-soar/article_e3341246-05dc-11ed-a33c-8b55ef9179da.html | 2022-07-18T13:30:14Z | https://www.midfloridanewspapers.com/highlands_news-sun/fires-scorch-france-spain-temperature-related-deaths-soar/article_e3341246-05dc-11ed-a33c-8b55ef9179da.html | false | 9 |
Quick links:
MPs and MLAs across the country voted on Monday to elect India’s 15th president, choosing between opposition pick Yashwant Sinha and NDA nominee Droupadi Murmu who is favoured to win the battle to the Rashtrapati Bhavan.
With the BJP’s dominance and support from regional parties such as the BJD, BSP, Shiromani Akali Dal, Shiv Sena and now JMM, Murmu's vote share is likely to reach nearly two-thirds and she is set to become the first tribal leader and second woman to occupy the top constitutional post.
While MPs filed into Parliament’s Room No 63 that had been converted into a polling station to cast their vote, MLAs headed to state assemblies. Nearly 4,800 elected MPs and MLAs are entitled to vote in the election, but nominated MPs and MLAs, and Members of Legislative Council are not.
As polling gathered pace for a race in which the end result is seemingly clear, Sinha appealed to parliamentarians and legislators to listen to their "inner voice" and support him.
"I have repeatedly said this election is very important as it will decide the direction as to whether democracy will remain in India or will slowly end. The indications that we are getting is that we are moving towards its end," Sinha told reporters.
“There is no party whip. This is a secret ballot. I appeal to all MPs and MLAs to use their discretion and elect me to save democracy," the 84-year-old added.
The veteran politician, who visited 13 state capitals during his campaign, said he is not just fighting a political battle.
"Government agencies have become very active, they are causing split in political parties, they are compelling people to vote in a particular way and there is also a game of money involved," he alleged.
The votes will be counted on July 21 and the next president will take oath on July 25.
Though the result appeared to be a foregone conclusion, there was an element of political excitement with speculation about cross-voting in some places.
Haryana Congress MLA Kuldeep Bishnoi, who had cross-voted in last month's Rajya Sabha polls, indicated that he had supported the ruling National Democratic Alliance candidate.
"Like Rajya Sabha, I have cast my vote in this election too as per my conscience," he told reporters.
Asked about his future course of action, he merely said, "I will reveal this soon." In Mumbai, Maharashtra BJP president Chandrakant Patil was confident some Congress legislators, who were absent during the Eknath Shinde government's trust vote, will vote in favour of Murmu.
"I am sure some Congress MLAs who remained absent during the vote of confidence will apply their conscience this time as well,” Patil told reporters. The Congress, he said, can’t guard its own MLAs.
Shiromani Akali Dal MLA Manpreet Singh Ayali chose to boycott the poll and blamed the BJP-led Centre, previous Congress-led governments for not settling various issues related to Punjab and also his own party.
He said in a video message that the party leadership did not consult him or the Sikh community before deciding to extend support to Murmu.
As the process of voting continued in fits and starts through the country, some scenes stood out from several parts of the country.
A visibly frail former prime minister Manmohan Singh,89, came to vote in a wheelchair. As did 82-year-old Samajwadi Party founder Mulayam Singh Yadav who faltered while casting his vote and was given another chance. Manmohan Singh was also assisted by polling officers in exercising his franchise.
Odisha leader of opposition, BJP leader Pradipta Kumar Naik, came in a wheelchair straight from hospital where he was admitted with post-Covid complications. An oxygen cylinder accompanied him.
In Patna, BJP MLA Mithilesh Kumar, who was in a road accident about a month ago, arrived on a stretcher to cast his vote.
And in Chennai, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin, the first to vote in the secretariat complex, reached the polling booth straight from a hospital after being discharged following his recovery from Covid.
Other early voters in various cities included Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, Maharashtra’s Eknath Shinde and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis as well as Delhi’s Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia.
As Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla put it, elections in India are celebrated as a festival. And since the election to the president is underway, it should also be celebrated, he said.
Members should participate in the festival, the speaker said while adjourning the House till 2 pm in the morning so MPs could go and vote.
The system of secret ballot is followed in the presidential election, and parties cannot issue whips to their MPs and MLAs with regard to voting.
The value of the vote of an MP has gone down to 700 from 708 in this presidential poll due to the absence of a legislative assembly in Jammu and Kashmir.
The value of vote of an MLA varies in different states. In Uttar Pradesh, the value is 208, followed by 176 in Jharkhand and Tamil Nadu. In Maharashtra, it is 175. In Sikkim, the value of vote per MLA is seven, while it is nine in Nagaland and eight in Mizoram.
In accordance with the system of proportional representation by means of a single transferable vote, every elector can mark as many preferences as there are candidates contesting the election.
These preferences for the candidates are to be marked by the elector, by placing the figures 1,2,3, 4, 5 and so on, against the names of the candidates in the order of preference in column 2 of the ballot paper.
According to the Election Commission's directions, while MPs get a green ballot paper, the MLAs get a pink ballot paper. The separate colours help the returning officer ascertain the value of vote of each MLA and MP.
Seeking to maintain secrecy of voting, the EC issued a specially designed pen with violet ink to enable voters mark their ballot papers.
Murmu, who at 64 could be among the youngest presidents of India, did not speak today but said on Sunday that tribals and women are delighted over her nomination.
"There are around 10 crore tribals with more 700 communities, and all are delighted with my nomination," she was quoted as saying at a gathering of NDA MPs.

Corporate giving leader will ensure foundation supports all M&T communities,focuses on diversity, equity and inclusion
BUFFALO, N.Y., July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- M&T Bank has appointed Dominique Goss to the new role of executive director of the M&T Charitable Foundation. She will steer the bank's corporate giving strategy and ensure the foundation's community impact remains inclusive, equitable and diverse throughout its 12-state footprint.
As its new executive director, Goss will oversee management for the daily operations of the M&T Charitable Foundation, including strategic direction, program development, operations, financial management, talent development and community relations. She will report to Mike Keegan, M&T Bank's senior executive vice president and head of community banking, and be based in Buffalo.
Goss, who joined M&T on July 6, spent the past four years as senior group manager for corporate citizenship at TD Bank's charitable foundation, where she was responsible for aligning the bank's corporate giving goals to its broader strategic priorities and deploying $26 million in charitable investments and sponsorships from Maine to Florida. Before that, Goss served as charitable relationship manager and community relations manager for TD from 2013 to 2018.
"Dominique is a progressive philanthropic leader whose extensive experience in community development and charitable grants administration will help refine the way we think about corporate citizenship," Keegan said. "Her passion and commitment to underserved communities will play an instrumental role in how the M&T Charitable Foundation operates and supports our communities throughout the bank's Northeast and mid-Atlantic footprint."
Established in 1993, the M&T Charitable Foundation supports thousands of nonprofit organizations focused on improving the quality of life for M&T's customers, employees and neighbors in the communities the bank serves. The foundation offers financial support and other resources to a diverse range of organizations, including those that represent civic affairs, human services, education, arts and culture and health care.
The work of the M&T Charitable Foundation is conducted by regional committees comprised of M&T employees who live and work in those communities. The regional committees make local funding decisions that help ensure the bank's philanthropy addresses specific community needs. Local decision-making is a cornerstone of M&T's community bank model and distinguishes the bank among other corporate givers.
In 2021, M&T and the M&T Charitable Foundation together donated $33.9 million to more than 3,000 nonprofit organizations. Over the past decade, M&T and the M&T Charitable Foundation contributed nearly $300 million to more than 7,500 nonprofit organizations.
"M&T's commitment to the communities it serves is remarkable and inspires me to help strengthen the bank's mission to make a difference in people's lives through the work of the M&T Charitable Foundation," Goss said. "I look forward to the opportunities to build upon the many strong partnerships M&T has with its community partners to further elevate the bank's philanthropic impact and fully realize its corporate citizenship."
Goss replaces Shelley Drake as the foundation's strategic leader. Drake, who also served as the bank's Western New York regional president, retired in March 2022 after a 50-year career with M&T.
Goss graduated Temple University with a bachelor's degree in business administration in 2008 and earned an MBA from Indiana Wesleyan University in 2018. She serves on the boards of the Nonprofit Repositioning Fund, Greater Philadelphia Community Alliance and Mural Arts Advocates. Goss also is a 2019-2020 Connecting Leaders Fellow with the Association for Black Foundation Executives and founding partner of the Philadelphia Black Giving Circle.

(The Hill) – A top White House energy advisor on Sunday said gas prices could soon fall below $4 per gallon on average.
Amos Hochstein told CBS’ “Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan he expects the national average of $4.53 per gallon to come down and inch closer to $4 per gallon in the coming weeks.
Hochstein, the senior adviser of energy security to the Biden administration, said many gas stations were already selling has at less than $4 per gallon.
“This is the fastest decline rate that we’ve seen against a major increase of oil prices during a war in Europe, where one of the parties in the war is the third-largest producer in the world,” said Hochstein, referring to Russia. “These are extraordinary circumstances.”
President Biden has seen his overall job approval ratings fall below 40 percent as Americans face record high gas prices and the highest overall inflation in decades.
Biden is releasing one million barrels of oil a day from a national stockpile to help ease prices and has called for Congress to suspend the federal gas tax, though the request has gained little traction.
Last week, the president traveled to Saudi Arabia, an influential member of the oil-producing alliance OPEC+, to discuss efforts to stabilize the global energy market.
While he did not secure an immediate deal to increase production, Biden said he was optimistic that negotiations in the coming weeks would be fruitful.
Hochstein said on Sunday that OPEC has room to produce more oil. | https://www.mytwintiers.com/news-cat/national-news/gas-could-soon-fall-below-4-a-gallon-on-average-says-biden-energy-advisor/ | 2022-07-18T13:34:17Z | https://www.mytwintiers.com/news-cat/national-news/gas-could-soon-fall-below-4-a-gallon-on-average-says-biden-energy-advisor/ | false | 18 |
Sylvester Stallone is hitting back. The action icon -- who wrote and starred in the 1976 sports classic Rocky and its subsequent sequels -- is bringing his feud with the film's producer into the spotlight.
The 76-year-old screen legend and filmmaker took to Instagram on Sunday to take a few swings at Irwin Winkler -- who produced the Rocky films and their spin-off Creed films -- as well as his son, David Winkler.
Stallone has been hitting Winkler hard with personal attacks, and shared an surreal portrait of Winkler to Instagram. In the image, Winkler appears to have the body of a snake and a knife blade for a tongue.
"A VERY Flattering portrait of The Great Rocky/ Creed Producer, IRWIN WINKLER, from one of the country‘s greatest artist," Stallone wrote alongside the artwork.
Stallone then explained the backstory to his attack, claiming that he deserves to have the rights to the Rocky franchise, having created the character and story in the first place.
"After IRWIN controlling ROCKY for over 47 years , and now CREED, I really would like have at least a little WHAT’s LEFT of my RIGHTS back, before passing it on to ONLY YOUR CHILDREN," an impassioned Stallone wrote. "I believe That would be a FAIR gesture from this 93 year old gentleman?"
The actor stated that the subject of the intellectual property rights for Rocky has been "a painful subject "that eats at my soul, because I wanted to leave something of Rocky for my children."
"But it’s always great hearing from the loyal fans… Keep Punching," he concluded.
Earlier over the weekend, Stallone took aim at David Winkle, slamming his novel, The Arrangement: A Love Story.
"I love reading and I’ve read thousands of books but I have to say THIS one is by far the worst! If you ever run out of toilet paper PLEASE by this one you won’t be disappointed. It’s very absorbent," Stallone wrote. "This unbearable worthless dreck was written by the painfully untalented David Winkler who is the son of the remarkably untalented and parasitical Producer of Rocky and Creed , Even though I barely ever saw him around in all those years, the one and only Irwin Winkler."
Stallone claimed that, if it weren't for Winkler owning the rights to the franchise, "there would’ve been at least another three Rocky’s , that would’ve been wonderful! Frankly that crew are the worst unhuman beings I’ve ever met in the movie industry."
Stallone originated the role of Rocky Balboa in the 1976 film -- which went on to win three Oscars, including Best Picture. Stallone himself was nominated for Best Actor and Best Screenplay, and was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for reprising the character in 2015's Creed.
In 2019, Stallone revealed to Variety that he was deprived of an equity stake in the Rocky franchise, and said that, while has profited greatly from the Rocky films and Creed spinoffs, he never got an annuity, which he could hand down to his children after his death.
"I have zero ownership of Rocky," he explained. "Every word, every syllable, every grammatical error was all my fault. It was shocking that it never came to be, but I was told, 'Hey, you got paid, so what are you complaining about?' I was furious."
The action star blames inexperience in his early years in the industry for not lobbying harder to have a stake in Rocky, stating, "You don’t want to ruffle the feathers of the golden goose."

Chinese prosecutors say they have been using electronic wristbands and big data to monitor people who have committed offences that are not serious enough to warrant arrest. It is part of a move to make fewer arrests and be more cautious about prosecutions under a new criminal justice policy, prosecutors told reporters in Beijing on Monday during a review of progress over the past decade. They said the new policy had been introduced to adapt to a changing society that had seen a continued decline in serious violent crimes such as robbery and homicide but a jump in economic crimes and offences such as drink-driving. They said significant improvements had been made, including to the pretrial detention rate, which was down from 91.4 per cent 20 years ago to 32.7 per cent in June. But prosecutors said the new approach did not necessarily mean being more lenient. “For those who have committed a less serious crime that does not warrant arrest, we can use electronic wristbands and big data for monitoring purposes,” said Zhang Xiaojin, who is in charge of economic crime at the Supreme People’s Procuratorate. “For those cases we decide not to prosecute, we can pass them to other government offices for administrative penalties.” Insect revenge: burglar caught using DNA from mosquitoes that bit him It follows a backlash last week over the use of electronic wristbands to monitor people in Covid-19 home quarantine after they returned from other parts of China to their residential community in Beijing. One resident said in a viral Weibo post that he had been sent a wristband by community staff near the end of his quarantine period and was told he had to wear it 24 hours a day and that it measured his body temperature. He refused to wear it because of privacy concerns, and after his post caused a public outcry the wristband requirement was dropped. There have been other reports of wristbands being used in recent months. In March, authorities in Chengdu, Sichuan province, started using electronic wristbands and cellphone GPS to monitor suspects under residential surveillance or those released on bail. The wristbands provide real-time information 24 hours a day, Chengdu police told Red Star News. China’s court AI reaches into every corner of justice system: report At Monday’s briefing, Tong Jianming, grand prosecutor and first deputy prosecutor general of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate, said other highlights of the last decade included a crackdown on criminal cases, handling of public petitions, and judicial reform. Prosecutors have also been focused on a three-year nationwide crackdown on gang crime. Zhang cited high-profile cases including that of Sun Xiaoguo, a gang leader in Yunnan who had twice been convicted of crimes including rape but had avoided jail time. Years later, after an investigation, the province’s high court in 2019 upheld a death sentence that was earlier handed down to Sun by a lower court. Zhang said there had also been efforts to crack down on violent crimes that endangered people’s sense of security, especially those against women and children. In addition, he said that between 2019 and 2021, prosecutors went after more than 200,000 people who had been involved in illegal fundraising, telecommunications and pension fraud. | https://www.scmp.com/news/china/politics/article/3185696/wristbands-big-data-used-monitor-people-who-commit-less-serious?utm_source=rss_feed | 2022-07-18T13:34:59Z | https://www.scmp.com/news/china/politics/article/3185696/wristbands-big-data-used-monitor-people-who-commit-less-serious?utm_source=rss_feed | false | 1 |

The penalty trial of Florida school shooter Nikolas Cruz is about to begin.
Opening statements will be made and the first witnesses called Monday. Jurors will decide whether the 23-year-old Cruz will be executed or sentenced to life without parole for the 2018 massacre of 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland.
The prosecution is expected to emphasize the cruelty and merciless nature of the shootings. The defense will argue that the former Stoneman Douglas student suffered from mental and emotional problems his entire life and was abused.
The trial is expected to last four months.
Cruz pleaded guilty to the massacre in October 2021.
The attack was among the deadliest school shootings in US history. | https://www.wtkr.com/news/national/florida-high-school-shooters-penalty-trial-set-to-begin | 2022-07-18T13:36:34Z | https://www.wtkr.com/news/national/florida-high-school-shooters-penalty-trial-set-to-begin | true | null |
The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians Tribal Council passed a resolution Thursday in support of changing the name of the highest peak in Great Smoky Mountains National Park: Clingmans Dome.
Long before the mountain on the Tennessee-North Carolina border was a National Park attraction, the Cherokee referred to it as Kuwahi, which translates to "mulberry place." Tribal medicine men would journey up the mountain and pray for guidance, then share the visions they had with the rest of the community.
Lavita Hill, treasury specialist for the tribe, said she and her friend, fellow activist Mary Crowe, spent the last month preparing the name change proposal for the tribal government's approval. Hill said she was inspired by Yellowstone National Park's renaming of Mount Doane to First Peoples Mountain, which was based on the recommendation of the Rocky Mountain Tribal Council.
Before the Cherokee Indians were forcibly relocated in 1838, they lived for hundreds of years in what are now parts of Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and North Carolina.
"It's not like we just occupied the land, we lived on the land," Hill told NPR. "Our own government, towns, language, our own newspaper; we were thriving communities. Then, due to forced removal, we were forced out of our homelands."
Some of the Cherokee went into hiding, some in the forests on Kuwahi, while the rest of the tribe made the forced journey to Oklahoma for relocation. Nearly 4,000 Cherokee died in what later became known as the Trail of Tears.
The Cherokee who remained in the area purchased 57,000 acres of property in 1876, known as the Qualla Boundary, in western North Carolina.
Clingmans Dome was named after a Confederate general
In 1859, the Cherokee's sacred mountain was dubbed Clingmans Dome, after the North Carolina senator and Confederate brigadier general Thomas Lanier Clingman. Clingman had explored and measured mountain peaks in the area.
But Hill said the Cherokee name for the mountain is far more fitting considering the tribe's history and because Clingman had no ties to the area; he lived in Asheville, 75 miles east of Kuwahi.
She said their fight for the name change is just the beginning.
"We've obviously been through a lot of heartache and hurt," Hill said. "What we are trying to put out there now is how Cherokee names are important, how that plays into our culture and history and keeping us alive."
With the support of the tribal government, Hill explained, the next step is submitting paperwork to the U.S. Board on Geographic Names for consideration, which she hopes to have completed by the end of the year.
"This was the starting point," Hill said. "We've just now kicked off the work."

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — Sri Lanka’s acting president on Monday declared a state of emergency giving him broad authority amid growing protests demanding his resignation two days before the country’s lawmakers are set to elect a new president.
Ranil Wickremesinghe became acting president on Friday after his predecessor, Gotabaya Rajapaksa, fled abroad and resigned after monthslong mass protests over the country’s economic collapse.
Wickremesinghe’s move to impose a state of emergency comes as protests demanding his resignation have continued in most parts of the country, with some burning his effigy.
Wickremesinghe said in a statement that negotiations for a bailout package with the International Monetary Fund were nearing conclusion while discussions for assistance with foreign countries were also progressing. There has been no comment from IMF to Wickremesinghe’s assessment of the bailout talks.
He said that relief was being provided to people and steps taken to resolve shortages of fuel and cooking gas.
However, he said “elements within society” were trying to disrupt peace. He did not specify, but said that disruptions won’t be allowed to hinder the country’s progress.
Wickremesinghe said that peaceful protesters who had legitimate concerns would be engaged with by the government and solutions found for them. He also urged political parties to put aside their differences and form “an all-party government which would allow the country to recover from the economic crisis.”
There was no immediate response from political parties to his latest comments, but they have been working on a unity government.
Lawmakers who met on Saturday began the process of electing a new leader to serve the rest of the term abandoned by Rajapaksa. Nominations for the election of the new president will be heard on Tuesday, and if there is more than one candidate, the lawmakers will vote on Wednesday.
The emergency decree issued by Wickremesinghe invokes sections of the Public Security Ordinance that allow him to make regulations in the interests of public security and order. He can authorize detentions, take possession of any property and search any premises. He can also change or suspend any law.
Sri Lanka has run short of money to pay for imports of basic necessities such as food, fertilizer, medicine and fuel for its 22 million people. Its rapid economic decline has been all the more shocking because prior to the crisis, the economy had been expanding with a growing, comfortable middle class.
Sri Lanka is seeking help from the IMF and other creditors, but top officials say its finances are so poor that even obtaining a bailout has proven difficult.
The economic hardships led to political upheaval and widespread protests demanding the government led by Rajapaksa step down. Although many ministers resigned in April, Rajapaksa had remained in power until last week, when he flew first to the Maldives then to Singapore.
The main protests have occurred in the capital, Colombo, where large crowds occupied the front of the president’s office for more than 100 days.
The protesters accuse Rajapaksa and his powerful political family of siphoning money from government coffers and hastening the country’s collapse by mismanaging the economy. The family has denied the corruption allegations, but Rajapaksa acknowledged that some of his policies contributed to the meltdown. | https://www.8newsnow.com/news/ap-top-headlines/sri-lanka-acting-president-declares-emergency-amid-protests/ | 2022-07-18T13:46:08Z | https://www.8newsnow.com/news/ap-top-headlines/sri-lanka-acting-president-declares-emergency-amid-protests/ | false | 23 |
2009 World Champion Jenson Button last raced in F1 back in 2017, but will receive a grid penalty if he ever decides to return.
Button established himself as an F1 great after winning the 2009 Title with Brawn GP. After his success, he went to McLaren and remained with the Woking outfit for the remainder of his F1 career.
However, during his final season in McLaren, he spent his time as reserve driver. He got his shot behind the wheel of the MCL32 at the Monaco Grand Prix. He replaced two-time World Champion Fernando Alonso for the one off race.
Alonso was contracted to McLaren, but was not present for the Monaco GP because he went to compete at the Indy 500. In spite of a Champion replacing a Champion, it turned out to be an extremely forgettable last race for the Brit.
Winner, most creative #MonacoGP parking job 🏆
(We’re glad you were safe, Pascal!) #F1 pic.twitter.com/QIG56Xg4e6— Formula 1 (@F1) May 29, 2017
Button qualified for the race P9, but had to start from the pit-lane because of changed engine components. His race ended on lap 57, after he collided with Sauber’s Pascal Wehrlein.
Jenson Button received grid penalty that is still applicable today
Button’s last race as a full-time F1 driver was at the 2016 Abu Dhabi GP. On that evening in Yas Island, the former Williams driver retired due to damage to this suspension.
During his one-off return to F1 at Monaco, he had to retire under similar circumstances. He collided with Sauber’s Pascal Wehrlein, who ended up being perched vertically on the wall. Thankfully the German driver was alright, but it ended both his and Button’s race.
Fun fact: Jenson Button still has a 3 place grid penalty for his next F1 race
In 2017 Button came back for a one-off race in Monaco standing in for Alonso who was racing at the Indy 500, in the race Button collided with Pascal Wehrlein and received a grid drop for his next race pic.twitter.com/3jJgOXIxTk
— Aldas🇱🇹 (@Aldas001) July 18, 2022
Button was handed a three-place grid penalty for his next outing, which was a surprising verdict considering the fact that he would never go on to race in F1 again till this date. However, if he were to suit up for an F1 race next weekend, he will still have to serve his penalty!
Button’s contract with McLaren as reserve driver ended in 2017. He did not renew with the Surrey based team thereafter, and a certain Lando Norris ended up replacing him at the papaya outfit.

("Aviat"), to acquire Ceragon at a price of $2.80 per share. After a careful and thorough review, conducted in consultation with our independent financial and legal advisors, the Board unanimously reached a conclusion that Aviat's IOI significantly undervalues the Company, does not provide certainty of closure, is opportunistically timed, carries significant risks to the Company and, as such, is not in the best interests of shareholders – other than those of Aviat.
In support of its hostile attempt to acquire Ceragon, Aviat has launched a proxy fight, calling an Extraordinary General Meeting of Ceragon's shareholders (the "EGM") in an attempt to take control of the Board and push through their opportunistic acquisition offer with the support of their director nominees. Moreover, they have launched this predatory action in a way that would violate our Articles of Association (the "Articles") – as they are not permitted to nominate five directors at the EGM.
Aviat is proposing that Ceragon's shareholders approve director nominees hand-picked by Aviat to control Ceragon's Board and to be entrusted with leading negotiations for a potential transaction with Aviat, which can obviously result in a bad deal for Ceragon shareholders. In addition, none of Aviat's nominees have telecom experience and all of Aviat's nominees have either no or problematic board experience. We believe that none of Aviat's nominees would have an incentive to fight hard to deliver value and certainty for Ceragon's shareholders, which is troubling given Aviat's recent reduction of its indicative price per share and its failure to provide Ceragon with firm financing commitments and deal certainty. Further, we believe Aviat's nominees would leave Ceragon with a weak, inexperienced Board that will not be able to effectively oversee the Company's strategy.
As part of our ongoing shareholder outreach, we have had dialogue with a number of our shareholders about this hostile attempt by Aviat to take control of our Board and our business, and we have appreciated their helpful insights and support. Our largest shareholder, Joseph D. Samberg (Founder and CEO of JDS Capital), who owns almost 10% of our shares, announced today his support for the Company, Management and Board; his view that Aviat's acquisition proposal is well below Ceragon's fair value; and his intention to vote for Ceragon's Board and against Aviat's request to remove any of our existing directors.
Ceragon's Board is singularly focused on the best interests of the Company and on maximizing value for Ceragon's shareholders. Indeed, our Board has been open to exploring a potential transaction with Aviat, having met with its representatives many times since 2017 to discuss the possibility of a potential business combination between the companies. We would again be willing to consider a potential combination with Aviat, but only if such combination delivers full, fair and certain value to Ceragon shareholders. Aviat's current hostile campaign most certainly does not.
In this letter, we want to outline the issues at stake in Aviat's hostile campaign.
Aviat's "Trojan Horse Offer" is Merely Indicative and Far from a Firm Commitment
To be clear, Aviat's IOI is not a real "proposal" – and any of its "terms" are subject to change (the recent decrease in Aviat's indicative price proves that Aviat will not hesitate to change its terms).
Over the course of our recent interactions with representatives of Aviat (including a meeting in Israel) regarding a potential combination, Aviat has never delivered any documentation demonstrating a firm commitment from reputable financing sources in support of its various proposals. In today's volatile financial markets, we believe it is critical to have firm financing commitments to ensure deal certainty.
Moreover, Aviat wants to be able to enter into an agreement without meaningful contractual protections that would protect Ceragon and its shareholders from damages that Aviat could impose on Ceragon (their competitor), in the event that Aviat walks away from a transaction after it is signed. Given that Aviat has already recently significantly reduced the value of its November 2021 indication, Ceragon's shareholders should not bear the risk of Aviat's future attempts to undercut value or terminate a transaction.
Aviat's Self-Serving Takeover Campaign and EGM
In an attempt to distract shareholders from its low-ball IOI and lack of financing and certainty, Aviat has launched a campaign of misstatements, mischaracterizations and hostile actions.
First, Aviat tries to argue that Ceragon's Board does not want to enter into a merger transaction. What they fail to mention is that Ceragon met with Aviat many times since 2017 to explore a potential combination. When we last met in June of 2022, Aviat agreed to send us a follow-up list of diligence items that we agreed to review. Instead, Aviat launched a hostile attack and never sent their follow up list. Aviat deliberately conflates our unwillingness to enter into a bad transaction for Ceragon shareholders with our willingness to explore value-creating opportunities.
Second, Aviat has attacked Ceragon's financial performance to make the case for their hostile bid, pointing to uncontextualized stock price decline. Ceragon has indeed suffered recent negative stock price performance, particularly following supply chain disruptions facing the industry that have adversely impacted our revenue and gross margins, and the recent downturn in the broader financial markets. What Aviat fails to mention is the substantial business momentum Ceragon has experienced in recent quarters.
In particular, Ceragon has substantially increased its bookings and backlog and has experienced significant market share gains in North America – Aviat's backyard. We understand why Aviat would try to acquire Ceragon "on the cheap" given prevailing stock prices – but we also firmly believe that a low-ball transaction that substantially undervalues Ceragon is clearly not in the best interests of Ceragon shareholders.
Finally, because our Board has refused to sell the Company for a low-ball value in a highly conditional transaction without firm financing commitments from a reputable financial institution, Aviat has decided to call the EGM in an attempt to take control of the Board. Their proposed EGM agenda has two parts: (1) remove three highly qualified Ceragon directors and (2) add five new unqualified directors hand-picked by Aviat, which would give Aviat a control position of our Board. Aviat has launched this EGM merely to put its hand-picked nominees in control of the Ceragon Board to negotiate a transaction on behalf of Ceragon's shareholders that would implement Aviat's low-ball, highly conditional indication.
Moreover, Aviat has launched a proxy fight that would violate Ceragon's shareholder-ratified Articles. While Aviat is requesting to remove three of Ceragon's existing directors and add five of its unqualified director nominees to Ceragon's Board, Ceragon's Articles do not permit Aviat to nominate five directors at this EGM. Consequently, Aviat will be limited to its attempt to (1) remove Ceragon directors, and (2) provided its attempt to remove all Ceragon directors requested to be removed is successful, appoint up to three of its director nominees to fill the vacancies on our Board created by such removal.
In support of its illegitimate action, Aviat selected five director nominees to add to the Ceragon Board with little regard to Ceragon's business:
- ZERO have relevant telecom expertise
- ZERO have adequate public company board experience relevant for the Ceragon Board
Aviat's hand-picked director nominees do not have the requisite expertise to lead a sophisticated, market-leading telecom company. This all leads to the inescapable conclusion that they were selected solely to force a sale to Aviat and/or to take control of Ceragon's Board in order to disrupt Aviat's competitor. This is particularly troubling because if Aviat's nominees take control of the Ceragon Board, Aviat can reduce their price (again), execute a transaction that allows Aviat to walk away if unable to secure financing, or destroy Ceragon from inside the Boardroom.
Aviat's IOI Substantially Undervalues Ceragon and is Attempting to Deprive Ceragon's Shareholders from the Value Upside that They Deserve
As a global innovator and leader in best-of-breed solutions for 5G wireless transport, Ceragon helps operators and other service providers worldwide to increase operational efficiency and enhance end-customers' quality of experience with cutting-edge wireless transport and fronthaul solutions. Our unique, proprietary multicore technology and disaggregated approach to wireless transport provides highly reliable, fast-to-deploy, high-capacity wireless transport for both 4G and 5G networks – positioning Ceragon as a leading solutions provider for the 5G era. Our solutions are deployed by more than 460 service providers in more than 150 countries with more than 1 million systems deployed.
Ceragon is poised to benefit from strong underlying growth trends in the telecom industry, including a substantial pickup in global 5G adoption, growth in millimeter wave and fixed wireless broadband, and growth of private networks in multiple domains. Ceragon's superior propriety technological capabilities have driven growth in best-of-breed 4G/5G products for Tier 1 & 2 customers. According to internal estimates, Ceragon's products now comprise ~25% of the market for best-of-breed solutions – the larger and faster growing segment – which has rapidly grown from ~15% of the market since 2019 and is more than 3x Aviat's current market share.
Ceragon's core business remains strong. We have substantial momentum across our business with bookings of $179 million in the first half of 2022. Our North America business achieved $39 million of bookings in the first half of 2022 driven by recent wins with large customers, including Dish and the final trial stages of a front-haul solution for a top-three national wireless carrier. North America is now nearly Ceragon's largest market, representing 26% of our bookings in the second quarter of 2022 – an increase of 37% from the first quarter of 2022 and up from 15% of our total bookings just three years ago. This increase is expected to drive enhanced margins with additional market share gains.
In addition, Ceragon has a number of strategic growth initiatives underway aimed to contribute to substantial long-term revenue growth, margin expansion and shareholder value creation. These initiatives include:
- North America: Continuing to increase market share gains in North America where margins tend to be higher. Ceragon has become the #1 wireless transport vendor in North America for Tier 1 operators, and we expect to increase our growth among Tier 1 operators as part of broader 5G adoption. In addition, increased infrastructure in rural broadband is expected to drive Ceragon's growth among small carriers, private networks and wireless broadband providers in multiple domains.
- Managed Services Supported by Software Tools: Strengthening our managed services offering to deepen our relationship with our customers, which has become an important growth vertical and a source of recurring revenue. We have already achieved bookings of ~$8 million in the first half of 2022, which is ~40% higher than our managed services bookings in the full-year 2021. Further, we expect our growing software tools segment will also provide high-margin recurring revenue via direct sales or as tools for the managed services business.
- Cell Site Routing: As part of the evolution of Open Network architecture, disaggregated CSR is a rapidly growing market that is expected to grow to $400 million over the next few years. We see an opportunity to disrupt the space with our new IP-50FX product, which help us leverage the disruptive fast-growing open network trend. While the market has only just begun to takeoff, we have already booked 216 units with average gross margins in excess of our overall margins.
We continue to develop differentiated technology, recently demonstrated by our first-to-market TIP compliant virtual indoor product. We also have been enhancing our suite of IP-50 products using a new radio chip developed in-house, with new products expected to be released in 2023 that are aimed to improve customer penetration and drive higher margins by targeting ~40% reduced BOM. Further, we have a long track record of chipset development across 5 generations of chips, including our next-gen System-on-a-Chip ("SOC"), which is soon to be productized and we believe is three years ahead of the market. Rather than outsourcing chip and product development to outside partners like some of our competitors, Ceragon develops industry leading technology in-house, which customers, industry leaders, research analysts and other third parties view as a significant competitive advantage.
Various temporary, exogenous factors have contributed to industry-wide global component shortages and higher shipping costs, resulting in slower conversion of our very strong bookings into revenue and an estimated ~4% reduction in our gross margins. However, we have taken a number of offsetting actions aimed at improving margins and converting bookings into revenue growth, including improving contractual terms with our partners, redesigning products and subsystems to reduce production costs, replacing one of our contract manufacturers, dedicating teams to forecast and manage component shortages and streamlining shipment process with additional vendors.
With the strength of our core business, combined with our new growth initiatives and supply chain normalization, we expect to drive revenue of $325–345 million in the full year 2023, and are targeting revenue of approximately $500 million and gross margins of at least 34–36% within the next five years.
Importantly for Ceragon shareholders, our Board has concluded, with the assistance of independent financial and legal advisors, that the IOI significantly undervalues Ceragon. This conclusion is also supported by the informed views of sophisticated third-party research analysts that have recommended an average price target of $5.08 – ~80% higher than Aviat's indication. In fact, one research analyst publicly referred to Aviat's IOI as a "low-ball offer"1 – an important statement in support of our position from one of the highly respected independent brokerage firms covering the telecom sector.
Further, Aviat's indication does not reflect the additional upside in value that Ceragon is disclosing today, including our recent growth in bookings and market share. Our strong business momentum and new growth initiatives serve to further reinforce our view that Aviat's IOI clearly fails to deliver adequate value to Ceragon shareholders.
Our Commitment to Ceragon Shareholders
In contrast to Aviat's unqualified nominees, Ceragon's Board includes leaders with substantial telecom and M&A experience – including at Radware, Tdsoft, CTP Systems, RADVision and DSP Communications – and track records of delivering shareholder value. Our board is diverse and continues to refresh itself, including the addition of three independent directors at last year's AGM.
Ceragon's Board is willing to transact with Aviat or any other party that delivers full, fair and certain value to our shareholders. We will not, however, sell the Company at an inadequate price or enter into a sale transaction that has a high degree of uncertainty and that Aviat (a competitor) can terminate without serious consequences.
The Ceragon Board appreciates the continued dialogue with our shareholders and the valuable input received to date. We are committed to acting in the best interests of our shareholders. We look forward to continuing our strong momentum as we execute our strategic plan to generate superior shareholder value, and we are open to exploring any opportunities that will create shareholder value including a sale of the Company.
Best regards,
The Ceragon Board

The gigantic five-bedroom home in Cramond is currently on the market for offers over £1,750,000, but comes with everything you could ever need - bar included.
Located to the north west of the city centre, the gated property features a massive drive and garage space when you first pull up, as well as a vast landscaped lawn out the back. Inside, the home is split over two floors, with huge floor to ceiling windows and skylights filling the place with a bright and airy feel.

The kitchen has been recently refurbished, with sliding doors opening out onto the patio and garden, ideal for a summer BBQ or hosting a gathering in the heat.
Boasting enough space for a paddling pool, slip and slide and anything else you could want to keep cool, the garden also has some beautiful views out to sea.
Inside, there are five well-sized bedrooms, with some even featuring ensuite bathrooms and a jacuzzi bath. However, the best feature inside has to be the room that has been converted into a bar, with floor to ceiling bottles and even some plush bar stools to keep you comfy.
On the market with Savills, the agents said: "The property offers spacious, flexible and wonderfully light accommodation set over ground and first floors and has been thoughtfully orientated to capture the best light throughout the day.

The beautifully specified and well appointed dining kitchen has full width floor to ceiling glazing on both sides with access to the deck and patio garden to the east and to the rear garden to the west. There is a sitting room which also benefits from access to the patio garden adjacent to the kitchen.

The well equipped utility room provides access to the integrated triple garage. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a store room which is currently used as an office and a well appointed WC.

Samuel Baker Woods, Jr., 92, of Charlotte died July 13, 2022.
Sam was born July 16, 1929 in Asheville, NC, to Samuel Baker and Isabel Grier Woods. As the son and grandson of Presbyterian missionaries to China, Sam's upbringing shaped his loving heart and genuine interest in every person he met. Sam spent his early years in Montreat, NC, before moving to Richmond, Va. His father, a renowned tennis coach and Virginia Tennis Hall of Fame member, passed his tennis skills on to Sam. He was awarded a tennis scholarship to the College of William and Mary where he played on a team that had 82 straight victories. In his 67 years of playing competitive tennis, Sam accomplished notable success as a player and a coach. He won various state and regional championships in singles and doubles competitions, including the Charlotte Men's Singles Open Championship in 1968 (at age 38).
As a coach, Sam instructed aspiring players in the technical skills of the sport, while equally emphasizing etiquette and sportsmanship both on and off the court. Sam understood the positive influence tennis had on young people and created youth tennis programs in Franklin, Va. and Charlotte. Sam held various leadership roles at the North Carolina Tennis Association and served as President of Olde Providence Racquet Club for three terms. He was instrumental in bringing international tennis to Charlotte, including the Davis Cup. Sam was widely known as a dedicated and patient mentor and a wonderful teammate. In recognition of his contributions to the sport, Sam was inducted into the North Carolina Tennis Hall of Fame in 2002.
Sam never forgot the hardships his family faced during the Great Depression and helped many people throughout his life whom he considered "down on their luck." He personified the traits of hard work, entrepreneurship, and generosity. After moving to Charlotte in 1965, Sam cofounded Anchor Paper with business partner and friend J.L. Hughes. Pairing his passion for flying as a private pilot and love for business, Sam flew himself throughout the region to serve his customers who respected him for his business acumen and integrity. He recalled this time as "one of the best" in his life.
Colleagues and customers remember Sam as a mentor and an early titan of the local paper industry and, most important to him, as a dear friend. Family and friends fondly remember his kind spirit, uncanny sense of direction and sharp memory. With his quick wit and wide-ranging interests in aviation, military history, baseball, meteorology and gardening, Sam was a great raconteur who easily made a friend out of every stranger he met.
He enjoyed vacationing in Blowing Rock and Caswell Beach. A devoted fan of the Boston Red Sox, Sam excitedly witnessed four World Series victories, including the reverse of the Curse of the Bambino in 2004.
Sam's greatest source of joy and pride was his family. He loved his daughters, sons-in-law, grandchildren and his great-granddaughter deeply and always delighted in their presence. Sam was a "gentle giant," with infants and toddlers (and shy pets) naturally drawn to him despite (or maybe because of) his 6'5" stature and deep voice.
Sam was a dedicated member of Carmel Presbyterian Church, where he served as a Deacon, Elder and Sunday school teacher. He sang in the church choir under the direction of celebrated pianist and longtime friend, Loonis McGlohon, and worked tirelessly to grow the church's membership and influence within the Presbytery.
Sam was preceded in death by his wife of 58 years, Iris Lankford Woods. Surviving are his three daughters, Jennifer Parker (Van), Amy Brinkley (Robert), and Joanna Owen (Jeff); his brother, Don Woods (Charlene); six grandchildren, Hadley Parker, Anna Parker, Samuel Brinkley, Rebecca Brinkley Bishop (Tom), Mary Grace Orr (Keith), Clara Owen, and one great-granddaughter, Annie Orr.
A Memorial Service will be held at noon Friday, July 22, 2022, at First Presbyterian Church, 200 W. Trade St. The family will receive friends at the church after the service. A private burial will precede the memorial service.
The service will be livestreamed at https://firstprescharlotte.online.church/
Memorials may be made to the NC Tennis Foundation, 2709 Henry Street, Greensboro, NC 27405; the TV Ministry at First Presbyterian Church, 200 W. Trade St, Charlotte NC 28202; or the College of William and Mary Scholarships Impact Fund, PO Box 8795, Williamsburg, VA 23187-8795.
Arrangements are in the care of Kenneth W. Poe Funeral & Cremation Service, 1321 Berkeley Ave., Charlotte, NC; 28204 (704) 641-7606.

Ravi Shankar Prajapati– Joint Director (BEE), said, "Perform, Achieve and Trade (PAT) Scheme is one of the flagship programmes of BEE to enable a reduction in carbon footprint from industrial sectors.

GEDA has demonstrated key accomplishments in renewable energy and energy efficiency programmes of BEE and EESL."
During the workshop, EESL explained the details of approved innovative technologies and presented a live demo for the submission of expression of interest.

MONTEREY, Calif., July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Thanks to the rapid growth and evolution of the online store, it paved the way for Retro Stage to expand its offline business -- bringing the brand directly to the public in local vintage clothing stores. The offline business model consists of launching showrooms and forming partnerships with brick-and-mortar retailers who specialize in vintage-inspired clothing.
The Offline Business Development of Retro Stage
Retro Stage was created by a group of retro enthusiasts who love the style of the 1920s, '50s, and '60s, aiming to make beautiful vintage-inspired garments for fellow fashionistas who are also attracted to the retro style. What began as a simple passion project quickly evolved into a way to preserve these aesthetics and explore new ways of applying them to modern clothing. Since introducing the Retro Stage website to the public, over 500,000 sales have been made in nearly 200 countries, and it has gained nearly 600,000 subscribers on its official social media accounts in just a few short years.
The success of the online website inspires Retro Stage to expand the business by seeking offline opportunities. Thanks to the local team's extensive groundwork at the start of the project, in early 2020, Retro Stage launched its first showroom in Los Angeles and officially began nurturing local partnerships by offering collaborative promotions such as seasonal sales, themed events, and influencer collaborations. Since then, the retro style movement has expanded to 15 stores in 8 states across the US. Even pop-country music artist Arizona Lindsey featured Retro Stage's clothing in her music video I Didn't Fit in Anyway.
The driving forces of enduring success are high-quality products and vintage inspiration. "Thanks to all of our wonderful offline partners, their warmhearted service and high-quality products shown at brick-and-mortar stores help build trust between the customers and us," the Retro Stage team said, "and thanks to our talented designers, we will continue to keep retro styles alive and design more satisfactory vintage-style clothing for our customers."
What is happening at Retro Stage?
In addition to launching a special collection based on a themed celebration each season, such as Valentine's Day, Christmas, Halloween, and Weddings, Retro Stage is constantly adding new items to categories like 1920s flapper dresses, 1950s swing dresses, 1960s pencil dresses, and vintage swimsuits, jumpsuits, and rompers. Each category has a range of representative pieces that show off their unique cuts and classic silhouettes.
The glittering sequins, dazzling fringe, and elaborate decorations symbolize the wild and vivid '20s. From ballroom dancing to the spinning Charleston, the wearer can feel the charm of the Roaring Twenties again and never stop dancing. For more stunning dresses, check out the 1920s collection.
This yellow romper with a removable floral-printed skirt, inspired by 1950s fashion, features not only a unique design but a vintage flavor as well. The wearer can also sport the romper by itself, and the floral skirt can be paired with a floral halter lace-up bikini set to DIY a unique retro-style dress. Check out Mrs. Maisel's favorite dress collection.
Who would say no to a dress covered with rose print? The rose pencil dress, with its modern design and bright colors, is the darling example of fashion from the 1960s as well as an overall iconic style that will ensure that wearers feel the retro charm. For elegant and fashionable styles, check out more 1960s dresses.
The strawberry motif and soft lace are the perfect combinations of modern and vintage styles, making the pink tankini set timeless. For a lovely and vibrant look, it's an excellent choice to show off at the pool or sunbathe on the beach. Even more elegant and unique styles are available in the summer swimsuit collection. Check out more retro bikini sets, one-piece swimsuits, tankini sets, skirted swimsuits, and swimsuit cover-ups.
Representing the beauty of nature-inspired motifs, the daisy print romper evokes a feeling of real forest greenery. The lifelike daisies on the romper make the wearers feel as if they're surrounded by fragrant flowers. It's easy to stay pleasantly cool in the summer due to the comfortable fabric and fresh colors, just like a 1950s girl camping by a stream in the forest. Check out more charming rompers.
This dark green velvet jumpsuit decorated with plum blossoms combines elegance and high fashion to help exude femininity. The voluptuous deep V neckline perfectly outlines and accentuates the bust, and the handkerchief-shaped sleeves shape the arms to achieve a slimmer look. At the same time, it also maintains the comfort and functionality of pants. Check out more vintage fashion jumpsuits.
