It all starts with a prediction problem. It is a problem because we think we can predict accurately, when in fact, we cannot.
“Credit ratings help facilitate an efficient capital marketplace. They provide transparent third-party information that’s not only forward-looking but standardised for consistency” says S&P Global Ratings on their website. Ratings range between AAA (the highest rating – obligator has an extremely strong capacity to meet its financial commitment) and D (obligator has defaulted on obligations).
Typically, the AAA rating is reserved for a handful of the world’s most solvent governments and best-run businesses. Just before the global financial crises started (around 2007), S&P had awarded AAA rating to thousands of mortgage-backed securities (they were the financial instruments that allowed investors to bet on the likelihood of someone else defaulting on their homes). A AAA paper signalled that there was only a 0.12 per cent probability (or one chance in 850) that it would fail to pay out over the next five years. As the crises hit, S&P’s internal figures suggested that around 28 per cent of AAA-rated CDOs (collateralized debt obligations) defaulted (some independent estimates are higher). That means that the actual default rates for CDOs were over two hundred times higher than S&P had predicted.
Let’s take another example. In December 2007, economists in the Wall Street Journal forecasting panel predicted only a 38 per cent likelihood of a recession over the next year. We know what transpired, but this was especially remarkable because the data would later reveal that the economy was already in recession at the time of the forecast!
In 1971, it was claimed that we would be able to predict earthquakes within the decade, a problem that we are no closer to solving fifty years later. And the list goes on.
The ‘prediction problem’ is then compounded because we are so convinced about our ability to predict that we leverage our bets to the hilt.
In 2007, the total volume of home sales in the United States was only about $1.7 trillion, but the total volume of trades in mortgage-backed securities was about $80 trillion. Every time someone was taking out a mortgage worth one dollar, Wall Street was making a side bet worth $50.
Or take nuclear power plants. World Nuclear Association calculated the life cycle costing of different sources of power and concluded that nuclear power is cost-competitive with other forms of electricity generation. Seismologists then looked at past data and built the Fukushima nuclear reactor to handle a magnitude 8.6 earthquake, because “anything larger was impossible”. In March 2011, Japan witnessed a horrible 9.1 magnitude earthquake and the resulting tsunami damaged the plant’s three active reactors. Loss of backup power led to overheating and meltdowns. According to the International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale (INES), it was a scale 7 major accident (highest possible accident) and the only one other than Chornobyl to date. After the accident, the authorities shut down the nation’s 54 nuclear power plants. The Fukushima site remains radioactive, and some 30,000 people had to be evacuated. The clean-up job will take 40 or more years and will cost tens of billions of dollars.
In the context of markets, this situation (prediction problem compounded by leverage) gets exacerbated by its unique features. Last week, I had written that the marginal/most motivated buyers and sellers decide the pricing in markets; the majority’s opinion does not matter.
Add to this the fact that technological advancements have compounded that problem. Now, algorithms and fast computers rush to execute the trade if the suggested rule is triggered.
Now let’s put that all together. We ‘predict’ that the stock will rise, talk to several people who agree with our prediction, and look at research by analysts who all believe the stock is a Buy. We then ‘leverage’ ourselves to take the maximum advantage. Predictions are based on things that have happened in the past, but things that have never happened before are happening all the time now. When that transpires, the majority of stockholders who were positive continue to be positive, but the one with the biggest leverage (marginal/most motivated seller) is forced to sell. Algos chime in too because they are told to run if certain rules are triggered. The stock falls below its fair value and the cycle then repeats in reverse. That creates the cycles.
So how does one counter this? First, being aware that cycles exist is extremely critical. For a company that is growing its fundamental value (say EPS or FCF growth) by, say, 15 per cent each year, the assumption that the stock price will also steadily rise, at the same rate each year, is fraught with risks. As the two charts below show, we could be following shorter cycles (as in the case of ), or much longer cycles (as in the case of ). Enter at the wrong time, and we underperform for years, if not decades.
Second, applying the reasonableness filter helps. I might believe that iOS offers better privacy than Android, and hence choose to use the iPhone. But I am a potential consumer only until iPhone is offered to me at a marginal premium to Android. If iPhone costs five times the rival’s price, they lose me as a consumer. What we pay for what we buy matters. As consumers, we know it; as investors (when we are buying a business), we sometimes tend to forget it.
Lastly, as human beings, we are wired to recognise the patterns that we see. We may not have many natural defences – we are not very fast, or all that strong. We don’t have claws or fangs or body armour. We cannot spit venom or camouflage ourselves. And we cannot fly. And yet, we are at the top of the natural food chain, and a baby can recognise the basic pattern of a face within months of birth. It’s not the learning of the individual, it has been learned through evolution. Our investment experience would be much better if we let evolution take over and recognise how these cycles have always existed and incorporate that into our journey instead of fighting it.

The Orlando Magic have agreed to terms on Exhibit 10 contracts with former Wyoming sharpshooter Drake Jeffries, his agency One Motive Sports announced, and G-League guard Zavier Simpson.
Jeffries, a 6-foot-5 guard, averaged 9.1 points (39.4% on 3-pointers) and 4.3 rebounds in his two seasons with the Cowboys, including 10.3 points (40.9% on 6.8 3s) and 5.4 rebounds in 2021-22.
He scored 6 points in one game with the Denver Nuggets summer league team after going undrafted.
Jeffries spent the first three seasons of his college career at the Division II (Minot State, N.D.) and JUCO (Indian Hills Community College, Iowa) levels.
Simpson, who played for the Magic at Las Vegas summer league, appeared in four games for the Oklahoma City Thunder last season where he averaged 11 points and 7.5 assists. A 6-foot point guard noted for his hook shot — yes, his hook shot — and defense but not his overall shooting touch (36.5% overall; 12.5% on 3s), Simpson went undrafted in 2020 after spending four seasons at Michigan.
He has had Exhibit 10 deals with the Thunder and L.A. Lakers and has spent two seasons with G League’s Oklahoma City Blue.
Exhibit 10 deals are 1-year, minimum salary contracts that allow a player to be a part of training camp and are often non-guaranteed — allowing teams to waive the player without taking a cap hit.
Exhibit 10 contracts include bonuses ranging from $5,000-$50,000. Players receive the bonus if they sign with the organization’s G League affiliate after being waived by the NBA team, depending on how much time they spend on the G League roster.
Teams can convert a player’s Exhibit 10 deal into a two-way contract before the start of the regular season.
The Magic now have the maximum 20 players allowed under contract in the offseason after signing Jeffries and Simpson — 15 on guaranteed standard contracts; one on a fully non-guaranteed deal (Devin Cannady); and Admiral Schofield and Kevon Harris on two-way contracts.
Teams must trim their rosters to 15 players on standard contracts (plus a pair of two-way players) before the 2022-23 regular season starts in October.

Iran's Raisi plans to address UN in New York despite US sanctions
Iran's ultraconservative President Ebrahim Raisi plans to address this year's UN General Assembly in New York despite US sanctions, after missing last year's meeting because of the Covid-19 pandemic
Iran's ultraconservative President Ebrahim Raisi plans to travel to New York for the UN General Assembly next month despite US sanctions against him, the government's spokesman said on Tuesday.
"The preliminary planning has been done for the president's attendance at the UN General Assembly session," Ali Bahadori-Jahromi told a weekly press briefing.
Raisi, who has been under US sanctions since November 2019 for "complicity in serious human rights violations", missed last year's General Assembly because of the Covid-19 pandemic. A pre-recorded video of his address was played to the meeting instead.
When Washington added his name to its blacklist of Iranian officials, Raisi was still judiciary chief. He became president in June 2021.
Washington accuses him of playing a leading role in mass executions of detained leftists in 1988 while he was chief prosector of the Tehran revolutionary court.
Raisi has denied the allegations on two occasions -- in 2018 and 2020 -- insisting he played no role in the executions, although he lauded an order he said was handed down by the Islamic republic's founder Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini to proceed with the purge.

(Adnkronos) – NEW DELHI, Aug. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Comviva, the global leader in digital financial solutions, has been certified by Mastercard as a Token Requestor-Token Service Provider (TR-TSP) for Mastercard Cloud Based Payments (MCBP) including Digital Secure Remote Payments (DSRP). Comviva has also received EMVCo Software-Based Mobile Payments (SBMP) security certification. These certifications for Comviva’s mobiquity® platform leverage ‘tokenization’ and Host Card Emulation (HCE) to deliver secure in-store contactless as well as remote in-app payments.
Digital card payments like mobile tap and pay at merchant point-of-sale (POS) and in-app payments are growing rapidly, creating a need for better security of transactions. Mastercard is accelerating the adoption of digital payments using Tokenization through MCBP, a secure and scalable software-based solution developed to digitize card credentials and enable both contactless and remote payment transactions.
Comviva’s mobiquity® platform, certified for MCBP, offers multiple card payment use cases such as tap and pay, QR Code-based payments and in-app payments. Tap and pay leverages HCE technology allowing consumers to create a digital version of the credit or debit card in their mobile phone, and tap the mobile phone at Near-Field Communication (NFC) POS machines to make the contactless payment. Tokenization services make card transactions secure as it replaces sensitive card details with a unique digital identifier called a token during card transaction processing.
mobiquity® tap and pay solution achieved all the compliances set by EMVCo under the SMBP security certification, ensuring robust security.
mobiquity® has also been certified for DSRP, a Mastercard technology that enables secure transactions for remote payments made on Mastercard cards. DSRP use cases include QR code-based payments and in-app payments.
Harish Babu SN, Vice President, Market Delivery, South Asia, Mastercard said, “While the exponential increase in the use of digital payments over the past couple years has made it easier and more convenient for users to process transactions, it has also led to a significant spike in online fraud across the globe. Against this backdrop, Mastercard is delighted to support Comviva in their efforts to safeguard the digital payments ecosystem through certification by Mastercard’s DSRP and MCBP technology which will tokenize and secure card credentials across all digital platforms.”
Omkar Mukund Nayak, Vice President and Head of Product Management, Digital Financial Solutions at Comviva said, “Data security has become the top priority of any business looking for a payment platform. We are excited to receive MCBP, DSRP and EMVCo SBMP certifications and thank Mastercard for all the support. As digital adoption accelerates, our customers can be doubly confident in our information security and safety.”
“Our mobiquity® platform enables issuing banks to meet the needs of people by quickly launching secure payments services. Previously, mobiquity® tap and pay deployments were certified by Mastercard. Now with certification of mobiquity® tokenization product SDK, issuing banks shall not be required to go through the MCBP certification process, thus significantly accelerating time to launch contactless card payments service,” further added Omkar.

2 swiped rabbits back at Galveston establishment
The bunnies are back in Galveston.
Police say security video showing two men stealing rabbits named Gigi and Muffin has led to the safe return of the expensive animals.
Galveston police on Friday released surveillance video of the bunny thefts with the hope that media coverage would generate leads. The furry creatures, worth $400 apiece, were taken from the yard of A Victorian Bed and Breakfast Inn on July 14.
Innkeeper Marcy Hanson received a call Monday night from a man who said he saw himself on TV in the security video. Hanson says the man wanted to return the rabbits.
Hanson says he left the animals with a passing woman who then returned the rabbits unharmed.
Police are trying to identify the two men. | https://www.newsday.com/news/nation/2-swiped-rabbits-back-at-galveston-establishment-o63360 | 2022-08-02T11:16:02Z | https://www.newsday.com/news/nation/2-swiped-rabbits-back-at-galveston-establishment-o63360 | true | null |

Fission 3.0 Hits Alteration, Faulting at Murphy Lake
Kelowna, August 2, 2022 - Fission 3.0 Corp. (TSXV: FUU) (OTCQB: FISOF) ("Fission 3" or "the Company") is pleased to report that the first pass drill program on its 100%-owned Murphy Lake property in northern Saskatchewan, has encountered graphitic and sulphide - rich basement structures with associated hydrothermal alteration in 3 out of 5 holes. The intersection of encouraging basement lithological and structural features in several drill holes confirms the prospectivity of the Murphy Lake conductors and has prompted the Company to continue to define these structures with ground EM geophysics and to expand the Murphy Lake drill program.
Ross McElroy, P. Geol, Director of Fission 3.0, commented, "The Murphy Lake project is located in the infrastructure-rich eastern Athabasca Basin within close proximity of number of high-grade uranium showings, deposits and mining operations. It is well established that high-grade uranium mineralization in the Athabasca Basin is often associated with graphitic +/- sulphide shear and fault zones within areas that have undergone hydrothermal alteration. Encountering such features in our first pass drilling has upgraded the Murphy Lake project and bodes well for future discoveries and has led us to expand the drill program at Murphy Lake."
The Murphy Lake property is located 30 km northwest of Orano's McLean Lake uranium mine, 5 km south of ISOEnergy's high grade Hurricane Uranium Deposit and 4.5 km east of Cameco's Larocque Lake deposit with drill intersections as high as 27.9% U3O8 over 7.0 m in drill hole Q22-040. On July 18, 2022, ISOEnergy announced the initial mineral resource estimate for the Hurricane Deposit of 48.61 million lbs of U3O8 in the indicated category based on 63,800 tonnes grading 34.5% U3O8 estimated at a uranium cut-off grade of 1.00% U3O8.
Based on an interpretation of government regional magnetic data, Fission 3 inferred that a conductor corridor, within which historic Cameco drill hole Q23-5 intersected anomalous uranium and pathfinder element geochemistry, projected northward onto the Murphy Lake property into an area where there has been no previous drilling. This was confirmed by ground DC Resistivity and EM geophysics carried out this past spring (see July 5, 2022 Fission 3 news release) and further corroborated by the five recently completed holes in the southeastern part of the property, totaling 2,505 m of drilling.
Ground geophysical crews have just completed supplementary ground EM surveys which have defined additional conductors and have provided more drill targets in the north trending resistivity low and also in the 1 km long northeast trending resistivity low in the northern part of the property. The Company plans to drill another 4 holes for approximately 1,600 m. (See accompanying maps.)

Drilling so far has shown that the two parallel ground EM conductors defined this past spring are likely caused by ductile shear zones intersected in basement rocks containing graphite and sulphide minerals and accompanied by zones of intense chlorite and clay alteration. The associated 1.5km long north trending resistivity low zone in the lower Athabasca sandstone was interpreted to be the result of hydrothermal alteration; this is now supported by the intersections of heavily bleached sandstone above the unconformity containing clay filled faults. This is encouraging because high-grade uranium mineralization in the Athabasca Basin is often associated with clay altered graphite and sulphide bearing shear zones in association with overlying hydrothermal alteration and bleaching in the lower Athabasca sandstone. The vertical depth to the Athabasca unconformity in the five drill holes ranges from 271.0 m to 281.2 m.
Initial Drill Results:
Hole ML22-001, Total Depth 485 m, Athabasca Unconformity Depth 308.3 m
- Bottom 18.3 m of sandstone (290.0 m to 308.3 m) is broken and faulted with sections of bleaching, strong clay and limonite and hematite alteration
- 14.7 m-wide zone (343.7 m to 358.4 m) of sheared basement rocks with graphite, sulphides, chlorite and clay alteration
Hole ML22-002, Total Depth 497 m, Athabasca Unconformity Depth 315.3 m
- 15.9 m-wide zone (358.7 m to 374.6 m) of strongly clay altered and graphite-rich sheared basement rocks
Hole ML22-003, Total Depth 491.0 m, Athabasca Unconformity Depth 324.1 m
- Top 39.0 m of basement (324.1 m to 363.1 m) is strongly clay altered and variably limonite altered including a 22.1 m zone (341.0 m to 363.1 m) with patchy bleaching and hematite alteration.
Hole ML22- 004, Total Depth 509.0 m, Athabasca Unconformity Depth 328.5 m
- Bottom 37.2 m of sandstone (291.3 m to 328.5 m) is heavily bleached containing three 0.5 to 1.2 m wide clay altered faults
- 12.7 m-wide (363.0 m to 375.7 m) shear zone in basement rocks with laminated sulphides and graphite. Contains zones of intense clay alteration
Hole ML22-005, Total Depth 494.0 m, Athabasca Unconformity Depth 321.1 m
- Bottom 104.1 m of sandstone (217.3 m to 321.4 m) contains clay-filled faults with regular strongly bleached intervals
All depth measurements reported are down-hole and true thickness are yet to be determined.
Samples from the drill core are split in half on site and are standardized at 0.5 m lengths. One half of the split sample will be submitted to SRC Geoanalytical Laboratories (an SCC ISO/IEC 17025: 2005 Accredited Facility) in Saskatoon, SK. for lithogeochemical analysis using their "Uranium Package".

Pelosi believed headed to Taiwan, raising tensions with China
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi left Malaysia on Tuesday and was expected to visit Taiwan, escalating tensions with Beijing, which claims the self-ruled island as its own territory.
The plane carrying Pelosi and her delegation left from a Malaysian air force base after a brief stopover that included a lunch meeting with Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob, an official said on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to release details to the media.
Pelosi is on an Asian tour this week that is being closely watched to see if she will defy China’s warnings against visiting Taiwan.
It was unclear where she was headed from Malaysia, but local media in Taiwan reported that she would arrive on Tuesday night, becoming the highest-ranking elected U.S. official to visit in more than 25 years. The United Daily News, Liberty Times and China Times — Taiwan’s three largest national newspapers — cited unidentified sources as saying she would spend the night in Taiwan.
Taiwan’s Foreign Ministry declined to comment. Premier Su Tseng-chang didn’t explicitly confirm Pelosi’s visit, but said Tuesday that “any foreign guests and friendly lawmakers” are “very much welcome.”
China, which regards Taiwan as a renegade province to be annexed by force if necessary, has repeatedly warned of retaliation if Pelosi visits, saying its military will “never sit idly by.”
“The U.S. and Taiwan have colluded to make provocations first, and China has only been compelled to act out of self-defense,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying told reporters Tuesday in Beijing.
Hua said China has been in constant communication with the U.S. and made clear “how dangerous it would be if the visit actually happens.” Any countermeasures China take will be “justified and necessary” in the face of Washington’s “unscrupulous behavior,” she said.
China’s military threats have driven concerns of a new crisis in the Taiwan Strait, which separates the two sides, that could roil global markets and supply chains.
The White House on Monday decried Beijing’s rhetoric, saying the U.S. has no interest in deepening tensions with China and “will not take the bait or engage in saber rattling.”
White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby underscored that the decision on whether to visit Taiwan was ultimately Pelosi’s. He noted that members of Congress have routinely visited the island over the years.
Kirby said administration officials are concerned that Beijing could use the visit as an excuse to take provocative retaliatory steps, including military action such as firing missiles in the Taiwan Strait or around Taiwan, or flying sorties into the island’s airspace and carrying out large-scale naval exercises in the strait.
“Put simply, there is no reason for Beijing to turn a potential visit consistent with long-standing U.S. policy into some sort of crisis or use it as a pretext to increase aggressive military activity in or around the Taiwan Strait,” Kirby said.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken also urged China to “act responsibly” if Pelosi proceeds with the visit.
“If the speaker does decide to visit, and China tries to create some kind of a crisis or otherwise escalate tensions, that would be entirely on Beijing,” he told reporters at U.N. headquarters in New York. “We are looking for them, in the event she decides to visit, to act responsibly and not to engage in any escalation going forward.”
U.S. officials have said the U.S. military would increase its movement of forces and assets in the Indo-Pacific region if Pelosi visits Taiwan. U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan and its strike group were in the Philippine Sea on Monday, according to officials who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss military operations.
The Reagan, the cruiser USS Antietam and the destroyer USS Higgins left Singapore after a port visit and moved north to their homeport in Japan. The carrier has an array of aircraft, including F/A-18 fighter jets and helicopters, on board as well as sophisticated radar systems and other weapons.
Taiwan and China split in 1949 after the Communists won a civil war on the mainland. The U.S. maintains informal relations and defense ties with Taiwan even as it recognizes Beijing as the government of China.
Beijing sees official American contact with Taiwan as encouragement to make the island’s decades-old de facto independence permanent, a step U.S. leaders say they don’t support. Pelosi, head of one of three branches of the U.S. government, would be the highest-ranking elected American official to visit Taiwan since then-Speaker Newt Gingrich in 1997.
Pelosi kicked off her Asian tour in Singapore on Monday as her possible visit to Taiwan sparked jitters in the region.
Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong “highlighted the importance of stable U.S.-China relations for regional peace and security” during talks with Pelosi, the city-state’s Foreign Ministry said. This was echoed by Japanese Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi in Tokyo, who said stable ties between the two rival powers “are extremely important for the international community as well.”
The Philippines urged the U.S. and China to be “responsible actors” in the region. “It is important for the U.S. and China to ensure continuing communication to avoid any miscalculation and further escalation of tensions,” said Foreign Affairs spokesperson Teresita Daza.
China has been steadily ratcheting up diplomatic and military pressure on Taiwan. China cut off all contact with Taiwan’s government in 2016 after President Tsai Ing-wen refused to endorse its claim that the island and mainland together make up a single Chinese nation, with the Communist regime in Beijing being the sole legitimate government.
On Thursday, Pelosi is to meet with South Korean National Assembly Speaker Kim Jin Pyo in Seoul for talks on security in the Indo-Pacific region, economic cooperation and the climate crisis, according to Kim’s office. Pelosi is also due to visit Japan, but it is unclear when she heading there.

TOKYO (AP) — The United States is working with Japan and other likeminded countries to counter China's efforts to use its economic might to force political change around the world, the U.S. ambassador to Japan said Tuesday in an interview with The Associated Press.
Rahm Emanuel, who was previously mayor of Chicago and chief of staff for President Barack Obama, is pushing what he calls “commercial diplomacy,” the idea that the United States and Japan will be more eager to do business with each other and with similar secure and stable countries amid worries caused by the COVID pandemic, the war in Ukraine and Chinese economic coercion.
“From intellectual property theft to coercion to debt dependency that China creates, the idea that they could actually honestly say, ‘We don’t coerce,’ and then you have not one, not two, not three – many worldwide examples where they use their economic market access to force a political change in a country ... I think everybody’s woken up to that,” Emanuel told AP in an interview in his residence in the heart of downtown Tokyo.
Emanuel, who arrived in Japan in January, laid out a number of examples of Chinese coercion, including with Japan, which saw Chinese shipments of rare earth metals blocked over a territorial dispute; South Korea, which suffered Chinese business boycotts when it installed a U.S. missile defense system; Australia and countries in Europe and Southeast Asia.
He said that finding ways for Japan and the United States to stand up to Chinese economic coercion was one of the first issues he raised with Japan’s foreign minister.
Emanuel repeatedly declined to speak about an expected visit by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan, the self-governing island that China claims as its own and has threatened to use force to unite with if necessary, referring questions to the White House.
China has in recent days lashed out at the possible trip, which would make Pelosi the highest-ranking elected U.S. official to visit in more than 25 years. Local media in Taiwan reported that Pelosi will arrive Tuesday night.
Japan has expressed deep worry about increased Chinese activities in regional seas, including near a Japanese-controlled island claimed by Beijing, and has pushed for peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.
While avoiding comment on Taiwan, Emanuel praised Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s pledge for a “significant increase” in both the country’s defense budget and its military capabilities.
Kishida’s attempts to revise Japan’s national security strategy and basic defense guidelines are a legacy of his hawkish mentor, former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who was assassinated in July.
Kishida has also said he is open to possible preemptive strike capabilities, which opponents say would go far beyond Japan’s war-renouncing constitution, which restricts the use of force to self-defense. Kishida also has proposed significantly increasing Japan’s defense budget — possibly doubling to 2% of GDP, a NATO standard — over the next five years.
“Much to the prime minister’s credit, he looked around the corner and realized what was happening in this region and the world — Japan needed to step up in ways it hadn’t in the past,” Emanuel said.
Emanuel also mentioned economic opportunities for Japan and the United States in electric vehicle batteries, energy, new research and technology in small modular nuclear reactors, aviation technology and semiconductors.
The business leaders who he has met with as ambassador to Japan would have evaluated a capital expenditure decision in the past purely by questions over cost, logistics and efficiency, he said, but they are now willing to pay more to avoid sanctions and instability.
“That is a major change in thinking,” he said.
For “the last 20 or 30 years, cost and efficiency were the driving factors. They drove public policy, and they drove corporate decisions. Today cost and efficiency are being replaced, supplanted by stability and sustainability," Emanuel said. | https://www.bigrapidsnews.com/news/article/US-ambassador-to-Japan-warns-of-Chinese-economic-17344844.php | 2022-08-02T11:20:39Z | https://www.bigrapidsnews.com/news/article/US-ambassador-to-Japan-warns-of-Chinese-economic-17344844.php | true | 22 |
Birmingham, Aug 2 (PTI) Long jumpers Murali Sreeshankar and Mohammad Anees Yahiya qualified for the final of the men's long jump event after going past their respective qualifying rounds at the Commonwealth Games here.
Sreeshankar stormed into the final with his very first jump of 8.05m.
The 23-year-old from Kerala, one of the top Indian medal contenders, was the only athlete in his group to go past the qualifying mark of 8m.
The lanky youngster was ecstatic and rushed to his coach and the Indian audience soon after his jump.
Meanwhile, Yahiya also reached the final with jumps of 7.49m, 7.68m, and 7.49m in his three attempts.
While Yahiya was slow off the blocks, he improved his show from the second attempt and finished third in his group behind Guyana's Emanuel Archibald and Australia's Christopher Mitrevski.

SANTA CLARA — Now that Deebo Samuel has his contract extension, Nick Bosa moves up in the queue and patiently waits his turn.
That time likely won’t come until next year, as general manager John Lynch suggested last week while invoking the 49ers’ history of extensions for homegrown starts.
“I have a lot of faith that when the time comes, it will be smooth,” Bosa said in an exclusive interview with this news organization after Monday’s practice. (The complete question-and-answer session will be featured in an upcoming season-preview magazine.)
Whereas Samuel was entering the final year of his rookie contract before Monday’s top-of-the-market deal (three years, $73.5 million), Bosa is under 49ers control for two more seasons, by way of them exercising his fifth-year option for 2023; it’s a perk teams can use only on first-round picks.
Homegrown stars George Kittle, Fred Warner and now Samuel have received extensions in successive years since Bosa arrived as the No. 2 overall in 2019, when he won NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year honors en route to the Super Bowl.
“I definitely got lucky. I could have been elsewhere,” Bosa said of landing with the 49ers. “I’m just happy, because this organization is so great. They give you all the resources you need.
“They listen to my input. Obviously, you have to get some respect in the building before you can give input, but I have a great relationship with (coach) Kyle (Shanahan) and John, so it’s all good.”
Bosa started every game last season and totaled 15 1/2 sacks, plus four more in the playoffs. That proved not only how well he came back from 2020 knee reconstruction but how deserving he is for a pay raise among the NFL’s elite defensive ends.
Since Lynch and coach Kyle Shanahan arrived in 2017, the 49ers have taken care of their homegrown talent, they’ve re-signed elite free agents such as Trent Williams, Kyle Juszczyk and Robbie Gould, and they’ve hung on to their own veterans such as Jimmie Ward and Arik Armstead.
As savvy as the 49ers have been in retaining a championship-caliber roster, such deals aren’t easy to broker, and Bosa knows that, stating: “I know it’s one of the hardest negotiation units up there with Paraag (Marathe, the 49ers’ chief capologist) and all those guys. But I think when they know your value … “
Lynch and Shanahan are adamant that Bosa is a foundational asset who they’re determined to retain for many years, even if it’s at a record-setting price, which likely will mean in the $30 million per year range. The Pittsburgh Steelers’ T.J. Watt reset the defensive end market last year with a deal (four years, $112 million), surpassing the 2020 extension (five years, $135 million) that the Los Angeles Chargers awarded Joey Bosa, Nick’s older brother.
Perhaps the 49ers’ ignition point for a Bosa deal comes when they move Jimmy Garoppolo and his $24 million salary off the payroll, though a back-loaded deal is still financially feasible now.
“If you look at our history, our cadence, you know most of our deals are done with one year left on the contract,” Lynch said Tuesday. “Nick’s got two years left and so that doesn’t make it impossible, but makes it more likely that it’s something that will be addressed next year.
“No absolutes, you never say never, but here’s what I do know: As long as we’re here, Nick Bosa is going to be a part of the Niners and he’s going to get paid handsomely to do so. So his time’s coming and when it does, he’ll get what he deserves because man, what a special player.”
Shanahan glowed as camp opened about how Bosa looks “completely healthy, ready to go.”
”Have you seen him? It’s like somebody literally etched him. He’s like a sculpture,” Williams said. “You don’t get that way by just waking up, eating cereal and playing a game. … There’s no secret to why he’s as good as he is. Obviously the talent is there, but the work ethic enhances the talent.”
Bosa faced off with Williams on a few plays Monday, one of which was a Trey Lance touchdown pass to Brandon Aiyuk, when Williams kept Bosa on the perimeter.
“Trent kind of gets on my nerves how good he is. Nah, I love him. He’s the best,” Bosa said. “It just definitely humbles you.”
An even more interesting sight came later in practice. Bosa and Williams talked with each other for a couple snaps and shared technique tips.
“To me, it’s a double-edged sword,” Williams said. “If Bosa asks a question, he wants to know more about something. The ‘competitive me’ is hesitant to give him some of my secret moves. At the end of the day, we’re here to make each other better. And he’s the same. We’re very transparent and it’s been that day since I walked in the door.”
The 49ers’ front office prepared itself for the wave of contract extensions by, as Shanahan noted Monday, plotting a quarterback switch to shift their financial liabilities.
“We knew where we were at a quarterback and we knew that was something that could help us a lot solve some of these problems with guys who have played well and who deserve to get paid this much,” Shanahan said. “And we’ve still got more guys. There’s lots of guys on our team that we don’t want to lose, so hopefully we can keep working that stuff out.”
Over 40 players are entering the final year under contract, including these projected starters: free safety Jimmie Ward, right tackle Mike McGlinchey, cornerback Emmanuel Moseley, kicker Robbie Gould, offensive linemen Daniel Brunskill and Jake Brendel, defensive end Samson Ebukam, and linebackers Dre Greenlaw and Azeez Al-Shaair.
More from Bosa’s exclusive interview will appear in the Bay Area News Group’s NFL preview magazine that will be published in the next month. | https://www.santacruzsentinel.com/2022/08/02/exclusive-nick-bosa-talks-about-his-49ers-future-after-deebo-samuel-deal/ | 2022-08-02T11:25:14Z | https://www.santacruzsentinel.com/2022/08/02/exclusive-nick-bosa-talks-about-his-49ers-future-after-deebo-samuel-deal/ | false | 13 |
A co-founder at Among Us developer Innersloth has explained how the studio almost stopped active development of the social game in 2019.
Innersloth’s Marcus Bromhander appeared on the Visionaries Podcast last week (July 27) and talked about how the team was “basically done” with the game’s development in 2019 (transcription via PCGamesN).
“We were basically done with [Among Us] at the start of 2019,” said Bromhander, after the game was released in late 2018 and received updates and extra content before 2019.
Bromhander added that the team thought “that’s it, no more, time to work on something else,” and that some staff started “prototyping some other game ideas that got pretty far.”
Check out the full podcast episode below:
It was around this time in early 2019 that InnerSloth saw its social deduction game get immensely popular, so the studio changed its mind and decided to continue developing and support the idea.
“Should we do Among Us 2 or should we update the game that everyone is already playing?” added Bromander. “There’s so many people playing, I wanted to experience releasing updates like that to a lot of people.”
It was then in late 2020 that InnerSloth announced it was cancelling plans for an Among Us 2, instead opting to push all the ideas for content into the original game.
The updates for Among Us are still coming as well, as it has had crossovers with both Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator and Fortnite in the last few months alone.
In other news, it’s been revealed that developers and publishers at Gamescom 2022 could be paying upwards of £71,000 to show a game off during Opening Night Live. Developers will need to pay not just for the spot itself, but also make sure the studio has a presence on the show floor. | https://www.nme.com/en_au/news/gaming-news/among-us-development-almost-ended-in-2019-3281701 | 2022-08-02T11:29:48Z | https://www.nme.com/en_au/news/gaming-news/among-us-development-almost-ended-in-2019-3281701 | false | 3 |

EXPLAINER: Why the term ‘genocide’ matters in Ukraine war
WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Joe Biden declares Russia’s Ukraine war “genocide,” it isn’t just another strong word. Calling a campaign that’s aimed at wiping out a targeted group “genocide” not only increases pressure on a country to act, it can oblige it to. That’s partly because of a genocide treaty approved by the U.N.

Shares of Thyrocare plunged over 4 percent after the company’s April-June quarter net profit declined 60.9 percent to Rs 21.7 crore, as against Rs 55.6 crore in the corresponding period last year, due to reduced sales after the COVID-19 pandemic eased.
At 1:08 pm shares of Thyrocare Technologies were trading at Rs 631, down by 4.03 percent from the previous close on the BSE.
Revenue for the company went down by 22.4 year-on-year percent and stood at Rs 127.8 crore.
The EBITDA, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation — a measure of a company's overall financial performance — declined 49.6 percent from Rs 71.2 crore in the last quarter to Rs 35.9 crore in the April-June quarter for the financial year 2023.
Thyrocare’s margin also fell to 28.1 percent. Sales for the quarter ended June 2022, declined 22.3 percent year-on-year and stood at Rs 127.79 crore.
The company saw growth in non-COVID-19 revenue as it went up 12 percent and stood at Rs 112.2 crore as against Rs 100.5 crore in the last quarter.
“As we grow the business we should see significant operating leverage going forward, we expect the margin to be 30-33 percent going ahead. We expect to hopefully continue the growth trajectory that we have demonstrated over the last couple of quarters,” Rahul Guha, MD and CEO, Thyrocare Technologies, told CNBCTV18.

Kylian Mbappe has yet to join. There’s no sign of Lionel Messi becoming part of the “Toon Army,” either. Erling Haaland, meanwhile, has moved elsewhere in the Premier League.
Turns out it’s way too soon for Newcastle, the club which all of a sudden has the richest owners in soccer, being the new destination for the "galacticos” of the sport.
Indeed, given its low-key business in the transfer market this offseason, Newcastle is showing no obvious sign — to the layman, at least — of being one of the latest sporting playthings of Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund.
Look closer, though, and there is the occasional giveaway.
Like the choice of colors for the team’s third-choice uniform that was unveiled recently. With a green crest, badge and trim on an otherwise white shirt, it bears a striking resemblance to the uniform of Saudi Arabia’s national team.
Or the presence of a new sponsor on the sleeve of the jerseys being used for next season. That’d be noon.com, described as “the Middle East’s leading online shopping destination.”
It might be slower than widely predicted but change is happening at Newcastle, nearly a year since Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund completed a 300 million pound (then $409 million) buyout of the club from northeast England after offering assurances to the Premier League that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman — and in turn, the state — would not have any say in the team.
It was one of the most drawn-out and controversial takeovers in the history of English soccer, immediately raising concerns about “sportswashing” — the use of sports to burnish Saudi Arabia’s image and downplay concerns about the kingdom's human rights issues.
The initial outcry and questioning toward the leadership of the club — such as board members and the team’s manager, Eddie Howe — inevitably gave way to a focus on the soccer itself and Newcastle’s attempts to pull clear of relegation danger, with the team finding itself in next-to-last place at the time of the buyout.
Newcastle ultimately achieved safety with the minimum of fuss, helped by the shrewd acquisition of a number of players in the January transfer window. While two of them were relatively high profile in England right back Kieran Tripper and Brazil midfielder Bruno Guimaraes, the others — defenders Dan Burn and Matt Targett (loan), and striker Chris Wood — could hardly be called glamor signings and weren’t obvious upgrades on what was already in the squad.
The three players signed this offseason aren’t exactly headline-grabbers, either, even if Dutch center back Sven Botman comes highly rated from French club Lille and goalkeeper Nick Pope — joining from relegated Burnley — is a regular in England’s squad. The other was Targett, this time on a permanent deal.
Those running Newcastle have no intention of simply throwing loads of money at the best players in the world. For one, the Premier League has financial fair play rules stopping that from happening. Secondly, Newcastle does not yet have a stream of sponsorship deals to support heavier spending.
They are sure to come, though. And if Abu Dhabi-backed Manchester City and Qatari-owned Paris Saint-Germain are anything to go by, the biggest sponsors will likely come out of Saudi Arabia itself, even if there will be scrutiny on whether the deals represent fair market value.
So, in that respect, Newcastle at present is having nothing like the kind of immediate impact on soccer that the breakaway LIV Golf series — another sporting project backed by the Public Investment Fund’s wealth — is having on golf.
Expect Newcastle to push into the top half of the league this season, which starts with a home match against Nottingham Forest on Saturday, and even challenge for European qualification.
“It doesn’t intimidate me, but it is potentially a challenge for us — how we adapt to that pressure,” Howe said in preseason. “We’re not scared of that, we know it comes with the territory. But I think expectations have gone up.”
A spot in the Champions League might not be for another few years but that seems inevitable, too. Then the world’s superstar players may be tempted to head for St. James’ Park and the whole “sportswashing” dynamic will come into sharper focus.
There was a hint of what might be to come when Newcastle played preseason friendlies against two two German teams — Mainz and 1860 Munich. Sections of both teams’ fans protested against playing Newcastle, though that didn’t stop the matches from going ahead.
In the meantime, Newcastle continues to strengthen its backroom staff to become a more efficient and professional team. On the back of a new sporting director, Dan Ashworth, getting hired in February, Newcastle has a new CEO in Darren Eales as well as a new analyst, sports scientist and physiotherapist.
There has been some frustration in the transfer market — highly rated Reims striker Hugo Ekitike recently chose PSG over Newcastle, for example — but Howe’s squad looks to be in good shape heading into the new season.
Certainly, fears of getting relegated are a thing of the past. Instead, there is excitement swirling around an energized St. James’ Park that Newcastle will soon be a force to be reckoned with.
Even if questions from the outside about the source of Newcastle’s new-found wealth will never really go away.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A bipartisan group of senators is pushing compromise legislation to restore abortion access in the wake of the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, a long shot effort to put a majority of the Senate on the record opposing the decision.
While the bill is not expected to pass — and is unlikely to even get a vote — the legislation introduced by two Republicans and two Democrats on Monday is intended to send a signal to state legislatures and the public that a majority of the Senate supports codifying Roe, even if they can’t get the necessary 60 votes to pass it in the 50-50 Senate.
“We still think there is utility in showing there is a bipartisan majority that would want to codify Roe,” even though the bill doesn’t have enough votes, said Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia, who introduced the legislation with Democratic Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona and Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska.
The legislation would prohibit most state regulations that prevent abortion access before fetal viability, generally considered to be around 24 weeks. It would allow state restrictions after that point, as long as the mother’s life is protected. It would also protect access to contraception, an issue after Justice Clarence Thomas suggested in a concurring opinion to the decision overturning Roe that decisions guaranteeing access to contraception and other rights may need to be revisited.
The bipartisan bill is narrower than legislation preferred by most Democrats — passed by the House but blocked by Senate Republicans — that would have protected abortion rights and expanded them beyond what was allowed in the landmark 1972 Roe v. Wade decision. Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Collins and Murkowski all voted against that bill despite opposition to the overturning of Roe.
Kaine said he felt like Democrats “left votes on the table” after that effort. He said he was encouraged by a new law designed to reduce gun violence that passed the House and Senate after horrific shootings in Texas and New York.
“There were not 60 votes either” for that legislation until members decided that inaction was no longer an option, he said.
Democrats would need 10 Republican votes to overcome a filibuster and get a bill through the 50-50 Senate, but only Collins and Murkowski have publicly backed abortion rights.
By overturning Roe, the court has allowed states to enact strict abortion limits, including many that had previously been deemed unconstitutional. The ruling is expected to lead to abortion bans in roughly half of the states.
Already, a number of GOP-controlled states have moved quickly to curtail or outlaw abortion, while states controlled by Democrats have sought to champion access. Voters now rank abortion as among the most pressing issues facing the country, a shift in priorities that Democrats hope will reshape the political landscape in their favor for the midterm elections.
The support of Kaine and Sinema, a moderate, comes as some activists have accused President Joe Biden and other top Democrats of failing to respond forcefully enough to the decision.
Kaine said there is an increased sense of urgency since the June decision, and suggested he or others may go to the floor at some point and request a vote, an effort that is unlikely to succeed but could call attention to the bill as majorities of Americans say they disagree with the Supreme Court decision.
“People are paying attention to it,” Kaine said. | https://www.wearecentralpa.com/us-politics/bipartisan-compromise-bill-would-restore-abortion-rights/ | 2022-08-02T11:33:27Z | https://www.wearecentralpa.com/us-politics/bipartisan-compromise-bill-would-restore-abortion-rights/ | true | 37 |

BERWYN, Pa., Aug. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- AMETEK, Inc. (NYSE: AME) today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.
AMETEK's second quarter 2022 sales were a record $1.51 billion, a 9% increase over the second quarter of 2021, with organic sales growth of 12%. Operating income increased 15% to a record $364.8 million and operating margins were 24.1%, up 130 basis points from second quarter 2021 margins.
On a GAAP basis, second quarter earnings per diluted share were $1.22. Adjusted earnings in the quarter were a record $1.38 per diluted share, up 20% from the second quarter of 2021. Adjusted earnings adds back non-cash, after-tax, acquisition-related intangible amortization of $0.16 per diluted share. A reconciliation of reported GAAP results to adjusted results is included in the financial tables accompanying this release and on the AMETEK website.
"AMETEK delivered excellent results in the second quarter with record sales, operating income and adjusted earnings per share," commented David A. Zapico, AMETEK Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Our results were ahead of expectations driven by strong organic sales growth and continued impressive operating performance. Additionally, end demand remains strong and broad-based with excellent organic orders growth in the quarter. Given this performance, we are raising our earnings guidance for the full year."
EIG sales in the second quarter were $1.03 billion, up 10% from the second quarter of 2021. EIG's operating income in the quarter increased 17% to $265.1 million and operating income margins were 25.8%, an increase of 150 basis points versus the second quarter of 2021.
"EIG delivered outstanding operating results in the second quarter," noted Mr. Zapico. "Sales growth was broad-based and stronger than expected while EIG's operational excellence initiatives drove robust margin expansion in the quarter."
Second quarter EMG sales were a record $486.3 million, up 7% from the same quarter in 2021. EMG's second quarter operating income was $124.4 million, up 11% versus the prior year, while operating income margins were 25.6% in the quarter, up 70 basis points versus the prior year.
"EMG had another strong quarter with excellent sales growth and outstanding operating performance resulting in continued strong margin expansion," commented Mr. Zapico.
"Our businesses again delivered exceptional results in an increasingly challenging environment. This continued success reflects the hard work and commitment of all AMETEK colleagues, the quality of our niche, differentiated businesses, and the proven strength of the AMETEK Growth model. Our flexible operating structure allows us to quickly react to changing economic conditions, while our balance sheet and strong cash flows position us well to continue to deploy capital on value enhancing, strategic acquisitions," noted Mr. Zapico.
"For 2022, we expect overall sales to be up high single digits compared to 2021. Adjusted diluted earnings per share are now expected to be in the range of $5.46 to $5.54, an increase of 13% to 14% over the comparable basis for 2021. This is an increase from our previous guidance range of $5.34 to $5.44 per diluted share," he added.
"We expect overall sales in the third quarter to be up mid-single digits versus the prior year. Third quarter adjusted earnings per diluted share are anticipated to be in the range of $1.36 to $1.38, up 8% to 10% compared to the third quarter of 2021," concluded Mr. Zapico.

The Company supplements its consolidated financial statements presented on a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") basis with certain non-GAAP financial information to provide investors with greater insight, increased transparency and allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. Reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in the accompanying financial tables. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for, or superior to, the comparable GAAP measure, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
The Company believes that these measures provide useful information to investors by reflecting additional ways of viewing AMETEK's operations that, when reconciled to the comparable GAAP measure, helps our investors to better understand the long-term profitability trends of our business, and facilitates easier comparisons of our profitability to prior and future periods and to our peers.

One such businessman, Innocent Tawiah, told JoyNews’ Manuel Koranteng that he charges GH₵5 for smart phones and GH₵3 cedi for analogue ones.
Generator owner charges smart phones for ₵5, analogue ₵3 in Somanya (video)
The electricity power cut to residents of Somanya District in the Eastern Region has opened a window of income generation to some business-minded individuals who use generators to charge mobile phones for a fee.
He revealed that he is not the only businessman taking advantage of the power cut that hit the affected areas since Wednesday, but that there are other generator owners in various parts of the district that are doing the same.
"Those people in this vicinity visit here. There are places with generators who are charging phones for other people," Tawiah said, as quoted by myjoyonline.com.
He was initially into the sale of phone accessories, but as the situation presented itself, he thought it prudent to cash in on it.
It is reported that an alleged exchange of gunshots between the military and some residents at Nuaso caused the power cut to all communities in both municipalities, from Somanya to Kpong.
Hundreds of residents in Somanya, Odumase, and Kpong have earlier embarked on a demonstration against the introduction of prepaid meters being introduced in homes and shops by the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG).
The protest necessitated a meeting between the Minister of Energy, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh and the traditional leaders of the areas concerned, to reach an understanding on the exercise and how to ensure peace and order.
During the meeting, the Minister expressed disappointment at the protracted nature of the impasse between the communities and the ECG.
He cautioned the chiefs against untoward public pronouncements that had the potential to endanger the new phase of engagement towards the resolution of the issues.
"Be circumspect in your public pronouncements as inflammatory languages have the potential of affecting negatively the peace-building process. I have no doubt that the peace we have started will end this unfortunate friction that has proven to be counter-productive to both sides.
"Violence must never be the route to solving differences in a country like Ghana where respect for the rule of law and democratic accountability is very much upheld.
"I made it clear that the ECG is for all Ghanaians and thus exists to provide efficient and reliable service delivery to all Ghanaians including the people of Krobo. It is, thus, imperative that there is absolute harmony between the company and the people," the minister said.
Earlier, the Minister of Defence was ordered by the Second Deputy Speaker of Parliament to stop the use of soldiers for the installation of prepaid meters in Kroboland.
The ECG has justified the use of military personnel during the exercise, saying previous attempts at introducing prepaid meters in the enclave caused a rift between residents and workers of the ECG, with a case where ECG officials were physically assaulted in the past.
The soldiers are assisting the ECG with the installation of new prepaid meters following months of hostility between residents and the ECG over the payment of electricity bills.

General Electric (NYSE: GE) and Raytheon Technologies (NYSE: RTX) have much in common. They are the two leading manufacturers of aircraft engines in the world, with positions across major programs at Boeing and Airbus. Most prominently, they compete (GE via its joint venture with Safran, CFM International) with rival engines on the Airbus A320 NEO family of aircraft (CFM also contributes the sole engine on the Boeing 737 MAX) -- the two planes are the workhorses of the skies. They also both appear to be good value stocks, and they both have challenges in meeting their full-year guidance. Let's consider the latter two points and see what the companies need to do to meet management aims.
Green flags
The commercial aerospace operations of both companies exceeded expectations in the first half and are well on their way to beating initial estimates for the full year. In fact, Raytheon recently raised its full-year profit expectations for its commercial aerospace-focused businesses (Collins Aerospace and Pratt & Whitney), helping to offset a lowering of expectations for its defense-focused businesses (Raytheon Intelligence & Space, or RIS, and Raytheon Missiles & Defense, or RMD). The result was management maintained its full-year guidance. Focusing on the free cash flow (FCF) part of the guidance, management continues to expect $6 billion in 2022, putting it on a price-to-FCF multiple of 22 times FCF. That may seem expensive, but recall that management intends to reach $10 billion by 2025 as the air travel recovery continues.
Turning to GE, its aerospace segment management reiterated the full-year guidance given in its investor day presentation for organic revenue growth above 20% and segment profit of $3.8 billion to $4.3 billion. Given that organic revenue growth was almost 20% in the first half, and segment profit was $2.06 billion, GE Aviation looks on track to achieve its aim. The key driver is surging spare parts sales, which increased to $23.1 million per day in the first half from $14.1 million in the same period last year. Given the strengthening recovery in commercial aerospace, it's reasonable to expect GE and Raytheon are well on track in their aerospace operations.
Red flags
Turning to more problematic matters, both companies appear to have their work cut out for them to meet guidance in one of their segments -- GE Healthcare and RMD. In both cases, the issues pertain to the difficulty of dealing with supply chain issues, such as component availability and raw material supplies. To articulate the challenge ahead, here's a table of guidance showing what both segments achieved in the first half.
Starting with GE Healthcare, full-year organic revenue in 2021 was $17.4 billion, and a 4%-6% increase (mid-single-digit growth as outlined in the table above) is $18.1 billion to $18.4 billion. This implies $9.1 billion to $9.4 billion in second-half revenue, or 5.1%-9.1% growth on the $8.6 billion in the second half of 2021. In other words, GE Healthcare has to ramp up its organic growth rate significantly in the second half and generate $1.8 billion in profit when it only generated $1.2 billion in the first half.
It's an even more significant challenge for Raytheon's RMD. Full-year 2021 sales were $15.5 billion, and just to get there, RMD will need $8.5 billion in sales in the second half of 2022, representing an increase of 8.9% on the same period in 2021. Meanwhile, RMD's adjusted operating profit needs to hit $1.24 billion in the second half to reach its full-year guidance's midpoint.
Looking ahead
Both companies have significant challenges in hitting the segment guidance discussed above, as the supply chain challenges faced by both aren't going to disappear overnight. It's probably more of an issue for GE as it's preparing to spin off GE Healthcare in early 2023.
Still, both companies' commercial aerospace businesses have the potential to beat estimates, and at some point, GE Healthcare and RMD will be able to overcome their supply chain issues.
Just don't be surprised if both segments miss their guidance, and keep an eye on conditions in commercial aviation because it's the key to both companies hitting their overall guidance in 2022.

iPhone 14 Pro rumoured to use superior OLED to iPhone 14
The iPhone 14 Pro will feature a superior OLED panel to the iPhone 14, according to reports from South Korea.
As more and more information leaks concerning Apple’s next smartphone line, the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max are steadily emerging as the models of choice. Alternatively, if you want to put a negative spin on things, the iPhone 14 is looking like a bit of a dud.
The latest morsel of evidence to support this suspicion comes from TheElec. According to the South Korean website, Samsung Display is providing two different grades of OLED panel for Apple’s next range of smartphones.
Apparently, the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will receive a new OLED panel utilising a more advanced set of materials, known as ‘M12’. This will be the same cutting-edge OLED material set that will be used in the forthcoming Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 foldables.
However, it’s only the Pro line that will see such an improvement. The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max will have to make do with the same older ‘M11’ material set that was used by the iPhone 13 family.
It’s interesting to note that Samsung already separates its phones in this way, with the Samsung Galaxy S22 OLED display using M10 materials, while the Galaxy S22 Plus and S22 Ultra pack M11 technology.
Besides this split in display technology, persistent rumours suggest that the iPhone 14 will effectively run on the same A15 Bionic chip that powers the iPhone 13, while the iPhone 14 Pro phones will switch to the newer A16.
Other reports claim that only the Pro models will sport a revised hole punch notch, with the iPhone 14 and 14 Max making do with the existing chunky version. It’s also claimed that only the Pro handsets will gain a new 48MP camera sensor. | https://www.trustedreviews.com/news/iphone-14-pro-rumoured-to-use-superior-oled-to-iphone-14-4255078 | 2022-08-02T11:43:11Z | https://www.trustedreviews.com/news/iphone-14-pro-rumoured-to-use-superior-oled-to-iphone-14-4255078 | false | 1 |

Company to Hold Investor Day on December 1, 2022 in New York City
NEW YORK, Aug. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- S&P Global (NYSE: SPGI) today reported second quarter 2022 results with reported revenue of $2.99 billion, an increase of 42% compared to the same period last year, primarily due to the inclusion of IHS Markit businesses, partially offset by declines in Ratings revenue. Continued execution drove growth across five of the Company's six divisions, while Ratings transaction revenue continues to be negatively impacted by a sharp year-over-year reduction in debt issuance. GAAP net income increased 22% to $972 million and GAAP diluted earnings per share decreased 13% to $2.86 primarily due to the increase in shares outstanding as a result of the merger with IHS Markit. The Company also announced it will be holding an Investor Day on December 1, 2022 in New York City. The event will be in-person by invitation, and webcast publicly.
"As we pass the first 100 days as a combined company, we are very pleased with the progress we've made on integration," said Douglas L. Peterson, President and Chief Executive Officer of S&P Global. "We continue to focus on disciplined execution, evidenced by the fact that we delivered growth in five of our six divisions, and are ahead of schedule on cost and revenue synergies despite a challenging macro environment."
Adjusted revenue decreased 5% compared to non-GAAP pro forma adjusted revenue from the second quarter of 2021, or 3% on a constant currency basis. Adjusted net income declined 11% to $955 million compared to non-GAAP pro forma adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share decreased 7.0% to $2.81 compared to non-GAAP pro forma adjusted diluted earnings per share primarily due to a 5% decrease in pro forma fully diluted shares outstanding. Currency did not have a material impact on adjusted EPS. The largest non-core adjustments to earnings in the second quarter of 2022 were for gains on the sale of divested businesses and costs related to the merger with IHS Markit.
Important note on the presentation of financial results and guidance: GAAP financials and guidance are presented to reflect the close of the merger with IHS Markit, and the inclusion of its financial results, as of March 1, 2022. Adjusted financial information, including adjustments to pro forma GAAP financial information and guidance are presented on a pro forma basis as if the merger had closed on January 1, 2021, to facilitate year-over-year comparisons. Non-GAAP pro forma adjusted financials also exclude the contribution of divested businesses from all presented periods.
Profit Margin: The Company's reported operating profit margin decreased 530 basis points to 49.5% due to the inclusion of IHS Markit and costs associated with the merger. Adjusted operating profit margin decreased 280 basis points to 47.2% compared to non-GAAP pro forma adjusted operating profit margin primarily due to a decline in Ratings transaction revenue, as well as increases in technology and compensation expense. Margin impact was partially offset by lower incentive expenses and cost synergies. The Company continues to expect expense growth (ex-synergies) to moderate through the rest of the year.
Return of Capital: During the second quarter, the combined Company returned $1.8 billion to shareholders through a combination of $1.5 billion in the form of an accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreement and $286 million in cash dividends. Both the $1.5 billion ASR and the $ 7 billion ASR, launched in the first quarter, are part of the previously announced $12 billion ASR program, which the Company still expects to be completed by the end of the year. The two launched ASRs are anticipated to complete in early August and the Company expects to initiate a new $2.5 billion ASR program this month.
Market Intelligence: Reported revenue increased 91% to $1.03 billion in the second quarter of 2022 driven primarily by the inclusion of IHS Markit revenue and increased 4% compared to pro forma revenue. Adjusted revenue increased 7% to $1.02 billion compared to non-GAAP pro forma adjusted revenue with growth across all categories, led by double-digit growth in Credit & Risk Solutions. Reported operating profit increased to $702 million from the prior year and by $505 million on a pro forma basis with operating profit margin improving 3,580 basis points to 68.1% due to gain on sale of LCD. Adjusted operating profit increased 8% to $336 million compared to non-GAAP pro forma adjusted operating profit and adjusted operating profit margin increased 40 basis points to 33.0% compared to non-GAAP pro forma adjusted operating profit margin driven by strong revenue growth and the realization of merger-related cost synergies, partially offset by increases in compensation expense, cloud spend, and outside services.
Ratings: Reported revenue decreased 26% to $796 million in the second quarter of 2022. Transaction revenue decreased 44% to $344 million. Transaction revenue was negatively impacted by a year-over-year decrease in debt issuance across all categories. Non-transaction revenue decreased 1% to $452 million due primarily to lower Issuer Credit Rating revenue and unfavorable FX. Excluding FX, non-transaction revenue would have increased 2% year-over-year driven by growth at CRISIL.
Reported operating profit decreased 36% to $464 million from prior year and decreased 36% compared to pro forma operating profit. Operating profit margin decreased 950 basis points to 58.4% compared to the second quarter of 2021 and pro forma operating profit margin decreased 950 basis points to 58.3% on the combined impact of the decrease in transaction revenue partially offset by year-over-year declines in incentive compensation expense. Adjusted operating profit decreased 35% to $473 million compared to non-GAAP pro forma adjusted operating profit, and adjusted operating profit margin decreased 850 basis points to 59.5% compared to non-GAAP pro forma adjusted operating profit margin.
Commodity Insights: Reported revenue increased 74% to $438 million compared to the second quarter of 2022, primarily driven by the inclusion of IHS Markit, and increased 4% compared to pro forma revenue driven by Price Assessments, and strong growth in Advisory & Transactional Services, and Energy & Resources Data & Insights, offset by flat revenue growth in Upstream Data & Insight. Adjusted revenue increased 4% to $427 million compared to non-GAAP pro forma adjusted revenue, driven by the same factors. Reported operating profit increased 1% to $141 million compared to the prior year and decreased 10% to $141 million compared to pro forma operating profit while operating profit margin decreased 2,360 basis points to 32.2% compared to prior primarily due to the inclusion of IHS Markit. Adjusted operating profit increased 3% to $188 million compared to non-GAAP pro forma adjusted operating profit and adjusted operating profit margin decreased 40 basis points to 44.0% compared to non-GAAP pro forma adjusted operating profit margin. The impact of the Russia/Ukraine conflict was the most significant headwind to revenue and profit margins in the quarter. Excluding that impact, adjusted revenue growth would have been 7% year-over-year, and the non-GAAP pro forma adjusted operating profit margin would have improved more than 100 bps year-over-year.
Mobility: Reported revenue was $337 million in the second quarter of 2022 and increased 9% compared to pro forma revenue. Adjusted revenue increased 7% to $337 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to non-GAAP pro forma adjusted revenue with growth driven by strength in Planning Solutions and Used Car offerings. Reported operating profit in the second quarter was $58 million and operating profit margin was 17.2%, and increased 41% compared to pro forma operating profit. Adjusted operating profit increased 9% to $141 compared to non-GAAP pro forma adjusted operating profit and adjusted operating profit margin increased 90 basis points to 41.9% compared to non-GAAP pro forma adjusted operating profit margin. Planned increases in headcount and advertising expense were somewhat offset by a reduction in purchased data and office costs, and incentive compensation.
S&P Dow Jones Indices: S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC is a majority-owned subsidiary. The consolidated results are included in S&P Global's income statement and the portion related to the 27% non-controlling interest is removed in net income attributable to non-controlling interests.
Reported revenue increased 22% to $339 million in the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to the inclusion of IHS Markit and increased 12% compared to pro forma revenue. Adjusted revenue increased 12% to $338 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to non-GAAP pro forma adjusted revenue, driven by strong growth in exchange-traded derivatives, and Data & Custom Subscriptions, with growth partially tempered by slower growth in asset-linked fees due to market valuations.
Reported operating profit increased 37% to $270 million and increased 36% compared to pro forma operating profit. Operating profit margin decreased 880 basis points to 79.5%. Adjusted operating profit increased 16% to $243 million compared to non-GAAP pro forma adjusted operating profit. Adjusted operating profit margin improved 290 basis points to 71.9% compared to non-GAAP pro forma adjusted operating profit margin, driven by strong revenue growth, partially offset by increased technology and T&E expense. Operating profit attributable to the Company increased 37% to $198 million. Adjusted pro forma operating profit attributable to the Company increased 9% to $171 million.
Engineering Solutions: Reported revenue was $96 million in the second quarter of 2022 and increased 8% compared to pro forma revenue. Adjusted revenue increased 3% to $96 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to non-GAAP pro forma adjusted revenue, with growth driven by strength in core subscription offerings and non-subscription products. Reported operating profit in the second quarter was $1 million and operating profit margin was 0.6%. Adjusted operating profit decreased 7% to $17 million compared to non-GAAP pro forma adjusted operating profit and adjusted operating profit margin decreased 190 basis points to 17.5% compared to non-GAAP pro forma adjusted operating profit margin, with expense growth driven by investment in product development and increased royalties.
Corporate Unallocated Expense: Reported Corporate Unallocated Expense of $165 million compares to $86 million of reported Corporate Unallocated Expense in the prior period, and $117 million pro forma Corporate Unallocated Expense. Adjusted Corporate Unallocated Expense was $22 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to non-GAAP pro forma adjusted unallocated expense of $36 million in the second quarter of 2021. Adjusted pro forma Corporate Unallocated Expense declined from a year ago, caused by a combination of reduced incentive and fringe costs as well as the release of certain benefits accruals.
Provision for Income Taxes: The Company's effective tax rate (excluding taxes in relation to earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries) decreased to 24.5% in the second quarter of 2022 compared to 25.1% in the same period last year due to a post-merger change in the mix of income by jurisdiction. The adjusted effective tax rate (excluding taxes in relation to earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries) decreased to 21.7% compared to 24.1% in the same period last year due to a post-merger change in the mix of income by jurisdiction. The Company's effective tax rate may fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to the timing of discrete tax adjustments.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow: Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash at the end of the second quarter were $3.6 billion. In the first six months of 2022, cash provided by operating activities was $676 million, cash provided by investing activities was $3,745 million, and cash used for financing activities was $7,268 million. Free cash flow in the first six months of 2022 was $510 million, a decrease of $1,038 million compared to the same period in 2021 and non-GAAP pro forma adjusted free cash flow excluding certain items was $1,625 million.
Outlook: The Company is reintroducing both GAAP and non-GAAP pro forma adjusted guidance for 2022 (suspended on June 1, 2022) to reflect the results of the second quarter, as well as our most recent views on the macro-economic and geopolitical environment. 2022 reported revenue is expected to increase more than 30%. GAAP diluted EPS is expected to be in a range of $10.20 to $10.40.
The Company is providing non-GAAP adjusted guidance on a pro forma basis that excludes merger expenses, and amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions. Non-GAAP pro forma adjusted guidance is provided to reflect expected financial results for the full year, as if the merger with IHS Markit (and associated divestitures) had been completed on January 1, 2021. Non-GAAP pro forma adjusted revenue is now expected to decline low to mid-single digits. Non-GAAP pro forma adjusted diluted EPS is expected in the range of $11.35 to $11.55. Non-GAAP pro forma adjusted free cash flow excluding certain items is expected in the range of $4.1 billion to $4.2 billion.
Comparison of Adjusted Information to U.S. GAAP Information: The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). Company financial results are also presented on an as-reported basis, and on a pro forma basis as if the merger had closed on January 1, 2021, for periods including fiscal year 2021, the three months ended June 30, 2021 and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021; the pro forma basis agrees to the Company's previously filed unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial information presented in accordance Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The Company also refers to and presents certain additional non-GAAP financial measures, within the meaning of Regulation G under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These measures are: adjusted revenue and non-GAAP pro forma adjusted revenue; adjusted diluted earnings per share and non-GAAP pro forma adjusted diluted earnings per share; adjusted net income and non-GAAP pro forma adjusted net income; adjusted operating profit and margin and non-GAAP pro forma adjusted operating profit and margin; organic revenue; adjusted Corporate Unallocated expense and non-GAAP pro forma adjusted Corporate Unallocated expense; other income, net and non-GAAP pro forma adjusted other income, net; adjusted interest expense, net and non-GAAP pro forma adjusted interest expense, net; adjusted provision for income taxes and non-GAAP pro forma adjusted provision for income taxes; adjusted effective tax rates; adjusted income before taxes on income and non-GAAP pro forma adjusted income before taxes on income; adjusted non-GAAP pro forma diluted EPS guidance; free cash flow and non-GAAP pro forma adjusted free cash flow excluding certain items. The Company has included reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP on Exhibits 5, 6, 7 and 8. Reconciliations of certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to comparable GAAP measures are not available due to the challenges and impracticability with estimating some of the items. The Company is not able to provide reconciliations of such forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures because certain items required for such reconciliations are outside of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. Because of those challenges, reconciliations of such forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures are not available without unreasonable effort.
The Company's non-GAAP measures include adjustments that reflect how management views our businesses. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information that, in the case of non-GAAP financial measures other than free cash flow and non-GAAP pro forma adjusted free cash flow excluding certain items, enables investors to better compare the Company's performance across periods, and management also uses these measures internally to assess the operating performance of its business, to assess performance for employee compensation purposes and to decide how to allocate resources. The Company believes that the presentation of free cash flow and non-GAAP pro forma adjusted free cash flow excluding certain items allows investors to evaluate the cash generated from our underlying operations in a manner similar to the method used by management and that such measures are useful in evaluating the cash available to us to prepay debt, make strategic acquisitions and investments, and repurchase stock. However, investors should not consider any of these non-GAAP measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the financial information that the Company reports.

The Origin Story Of Care Bears Will Make You Feel So Much Nostalgia
A brief history of our favorite rainbow-colored, adjective-laden Care Bear friends
Geriatric millennials (sorry) spent their childhoods coveting everything from Barbie dolls to Teddy Ruxpins. We loved them; we had to have them. So, because we’re nostalgic like that, we wanted to take a look back at some of our most beloved, extremely popular ‘80s and ‘90s toys and explore why we obsessed over them and where they are now. We turned to veteran toy expert Jessica Hartshorn, who has spent her career writing about all things parenting and toys, to do her due diligence and get to the bottom of some of our most-wished-for favorites. Behold, Scary Mommy’s nostalgia & toys extravaganza. All week, we’ll be looking at the toys that made us. You’re welcome.
Deciding which Care Bear to get your friend for their birthday was a real thing in the '80s. Was Birthday Bear too obvious? Friend Bear was more meaningful. Or should you gift your bestie a Wish Bear, kind of like giving your friend a crystal — except that it was a teal-colored stuffed bear?
Wish Bear and friends are updated, sure, but still on toy shelves and still perfectly priced for party gifts. If you have a tween or teen, you probably know that Hot Topic sells Care Bear merch too. These characters have been around for 40 years, beloved by multiple generations, and show no sign of going away. But who had the brilliant idea to create them in the first place? What is the origin of Care Bears?
The Birth of Care Bears
The Care Bears origin story mirrors that of My Little Pony. The characters were created in 1981, then launched as a successful toy line in 1982. Like the ponies, the bears always came in bright colors and were branded, in this case on their belly, with a graphic design that signifies what they stand for: a rainbow for cheer, a shamrock for luck, hearts for love, a shooting star for wishes.
But a deeper dive into the origin story of Care Bears unearths a few interesting facts.
First, did you know that the first six Care Bears were created by the same illustrator who brought Strawberry Shortcake (another iconically nostalgic craze) to life? Muriel Fahrion was working as a greeting card designer for American Greetings when the company asked her to conceptualize a rag doll character. Strawberry Shortcake was the result, and when that took off, American Greetings saw an opportunity for more cute characters. Thus, the Care Bears were born! After Fahrion got the ball rolling with the first six designs, illustrator Elena Kucharik stepped in to further the idea.
Another sweet tidbit? The Care Bears were conceptualized to help people express emotions. So, each original bear was named for the feeling he or she represented: Tenderheart, Good Luck, Birthday, Cheer, Bedtime, Grumpy, Wish, Funshine, and Love A Lot. It’s a little weird that the bears are gendered, but maybe that is just the nature of character toys, especially ‘80s toys.
By 1983, the Care Bears were everywhere, leading to a full merch collection of plush toys, stickers, trading cards, and, onscreen spinoffs. The Care Bears cartoon started up in 1985 — the same year the Bears got their first big-screen movie — and featured the bears versus villains with names such as Professor Coldheart. (Side note: Why are professors so often portrayed as evil?) Today’s kids can watch 22-minute episodes of Care Bears and Cousins on Netflix, where the bears primarily make mistakes, learn from them, and continue on with their happy lives.
The Difference Between Care Bears and Other ‘80s Toys
While My Little Pony, Strawberry Shortcake, and troll dolls are toys that invite collecting and pretend play, Care Bears have always had the chance to become beloved comfort objects, like other teddy bears. They might live in the sacred spot on a child’s pillow and be cuddled at night.
Current parents grew up falling asleep with Bedtime Bear. It’s not that big of a leap, then, to see why we want to dress our infants like Care Bears. It’s a love thing. Few other retro toys make us want to give a squeeze.
Can We Talk About Grumpy Bear?
There is depressed Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh. The ‘80s introduced Grumpy Smurf, also a downer. Grumpy Bear, on the other hand, was and is the rare child’s character who can express doubt and worry while still being adorable. Grumpy Bear has energy; he is just pessimistic — or, he would say, a realist. Some kids (and parents) relate to Grumpy Bear and his angst, so thank goodness he’s still around. There’s even a giant plush Grumpy Bear as well as a baby-sized Grumpy Bear Halloween costume.
The bottom line is we still relate to the bears, want to gift the bears, and don’t mind our kids watching the show. It gives us a little slice of our childhood back. The ‘80s birthed some toy phenomenons that were not fads. These cuddly, anthropomorphic bears prove that some things from that “gnarly” decade have staying power! | https://www.scarymommy.com/lifestyle/care-bears-origin | 2022-08-02T11:46:48Z | https://www.scarymommy.com/lifestyle/care-bears-origin | true | 1 |
Sequans Communications Announces Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Published: Aug. 2, 2022 at 5:00 AM CDT|Updated: 2 hours ago
PARIS, Aug. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Sequans Communications S.A. (NYSE: SQNS), a leading developer and provider of 5G/4G solutions for IoT devices, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.
Second Quarter 2022 Summary Results Table:
"Our second quarter growth was boosted by our Monarch Cat-M product family, which grew 13% sequentially and 122% year-over-year, continuing its first-quarter strong performance," said Georges Karam, CEO of Sequans. "Revenue for the quarter increased 11% year-over-year, with Massive IoT growing 12% and the Broadband category growing 9%, due to services revenue. Broadband revenue decreased sequentially due to the expected decline of licensing revenue generated by our existing 5G agreements, which was fully offset by the growth in our Massive IoT business. Our product revenue pipeline continues to build with more design wins, and we are moving them towards mass production, although the shutdowns in China have delayed a few product launches. While most of the design wins are with the Monarch family, our main growth driver, we are seeing increasing interest in our new Cat 1 Calliope 2 platform that we expect to drive additional growth in 2023."
Mr. Karam continued, "I am pleased to announce that we finalized all the terms of a licensing agreement with a new 5G strategic partner that is expected to fully fund the development of our 5G platform. Execution of the deal should be concluded shortly subject to some final logistical steps."
Q3 2022 Outlook
Management plans to update the outlook once the strategic 5G agreement is closed.
Second Quarter 2022 Highlights:
Revenue: Revenue was $14.2 million, an increase of 2.4% compared to the first quarter of 2022 and an increase of 10.6% compared to the second quarter of 2021. The increase from the first quarter was primarily due to increased Massive IoT revenues that offset the decline in Broadband service revenue.
Gross margin: Gross margin was 60.7% compared to 68.1% in the first quarter of 2022 and compared to 56.6% in the second quarter of 2021 due to the higher proportion of product sales versus license and service revenue in the revenue mix.
Operating loss: Operating loss was $2.1 million flat compared to the first quarter of 2022 and $3.4 million in the second quarter of 2021.
Net profit / loss: Net loss was $3.1 million, or ($0.07) per diluted ADS, compared to net profit of $2.0 million, or $0.04 per ADS, in the first quarter of 2022 and a net loss of $1.3 million, or ($0.04) per ADS, in the second quarter of 2021. Net loss in the second quarter of 2022 includes a $0.7 million gain on the change in fair value of the convertible debt derivative compared to a $6.4 million gain in the first quarter of 2022 and a $1.4 million gain in the second quarter of 2021.
Non-IFRS Net loss and diluted loss per ADS: Excluding the non-cash stock-based compensation, the non-cash impact of the fair-value and effective interest adjustments related to the convertible debt with embedded derivatives and other financings, non-IFRS net loss was $1.1 million, or ($0.02) per ADS, compared to $1.8 million, or ($0.04) per ADS in the first quarter of 2022, and $5.6 million, or ($0.15) per ADS, in the second quarter of 2021. The non-IFRS net loss includes foreign exchange gains of $1.2 million, or $0.02 per ADS, in the second quarter of 2022, $370,000, or less $0.01 per ADS, in the first quarter of 2022 and a loss of $1.0 million, or ($0.03) per ADS, in the second quarter of 2021.
Cash: Cash and cash equivalents and short-term deposits at June 30, 2022 totaled $16.8 million compared to $26.3 million at March 31, 2022. The amount at June 30, 2022 excludes grant funding of $3.0 million received July 1, 2022.
Conference Call and Webcast

Forest district considers $1.4M plan for electric cart storage at Countryside Golf Club near Mundelein
The Lake County Forest Preserve District is set to take a key step in the eventual conversion of 146 carts at its Countryside Golf Club from gas to electric power.
Designating $1.4 million in its 10-year capital plan for a facility to store and charge electric carts doesn't mean the switch is imminent. But doing so creates a placeholder in the budget process to get the ball rolling, possibly in 2024.
The capital plan, which is part of the district's annual budget, was approved in June. At the time, a project to design and build storage for electric carts at the 36-hole course was delayed as funding sources were finalized.
Golf is an enterprise fund that pays its own way. However, the cost of the cart storage facility would hamper the courses' ability to replace standard equipment.
As suggested, the golf fund would pay half and the district will allocate $700,000 from general funds as a zero-interest loan payable over 10 years.
Adding the design and construction of the golf cart storage facility will be considered by the full forest board next week.
Though there has been general support, the pending action is considered important in the district's goal to lower its carbon footprint.
"This would put us on track for four net-zero buildings," said Ty Kovach, executive director.
A net zero building produces enough energy to power itself. The others are the solar-powered welcome center at Ryerson Conservation Area; an environmental education center at Ryerson under construction; and, a proposed maintenance facility at the Lakewood Forest Preserve.
Electric-powered golf carts have been around for about 30 years, said Alex Eichman, the district's chief of golf operations.
In fact, because there is indoor storage, the 80 carts in use at ThunderHawk Golf Club in Beach Park have been electric-powered since the course opened in 1999, Eichman said.
"We have to have indoor storage before we (can) have one single electric cart," he added.
Forest commissioners discussed converting 10 gas-powered lawn mowers at Countryside to electric. But that's a new option with emerging questions, including price.
"That's still on the table. My recommendation was to go down this path because we can make a bigger impact," Eichman said.
"We think it's probably the wisest thing to do to reduce our fuel consumption and show we're good stewards of the environment," he added.
The Audubon Signature Sanctuary program at ThunderHawk and Cooperative Sanctuary program at Countryside also contribute to the big environmental picture, according to Kovach.
Ann Maine, a member of the forest board's operations committee, which discussed the electric cart facility Monday, said the project also can raise public awareness.
"There's also an educational opportunity," she said.
While the funding would be designated for 2024, the capital plan can change. Eichman said the timing of electric cart storage at Countryside is to be determined.
"It's a project that will take a lot of time (and) a lot of planning," he said. | https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20220802/forest-district-considers-14m-plan-for-electric-cart-storage-at-countryside-golf-club-near-mundelein | 2022-08-02T11:51:28Z | https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20220802/forest-district-considers-14m-plan-for-electric-cart-storage-at-countryside-golf-club-near-mundelein | false | 1 |

Việt Nam calls for dialogue to end nuclear threat
VIETNAM, August 2 -
NEW YORK — Countries must step up cooperation and dialogue, and strengthen mutual understanding for a common cause of eliminating nuclear threats, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Hà Kim Ngọc told a New York conference.
The 10th Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) was opened at the United Nations headquarters on August 1 (US time) after being postponed for more than two years because of COVID-19.
Việt Nam’s consistent policy is promoting the balance of all three elements of the treaty – non-proliferation, disarmament, and peaceful use of nuclear energy, Ngọc reiterated, adding nuclear-weapon states are obliged to make progress on disarmament.
He emphasised that Việt Nam has taken the treaty seriously and fulfilled its national obligations under the NPT and other international agreements in the field, including the Treaty of Southeast Asia Nuclear Weapon-Free Zone (SEANWFZ) and UN Security Council resolutions, contributing to maintaining global and regional peace.
Funds should be allocated for applying nuclear technology to such challenges as food and energy security, epidemics and climate change.
Launched in 1969, the NPT entered into force in 1970. It was extended indefinitely in 1995. A total of 191 states have joined the treaty, including five nuclear-weapon states.
The NPT review conference is held every five years to accelerate the enforcement of the treaty and increase its universality.
This year’s conference is taking place from August 1 – 26. — VNS | https://www.einpresswire.com/article/584147483/vi-t-nam-calls-for-dialogue-to-end-nuclear-threat | 2022-08-02T11:52:54Z | https://www.einpresswire.com/article/584147483/vi-t-nam-calls-for-dialogue-to-end-nuclear-threat | false | 1 |
If you’re an Oculus Quest 2 owner and want to dip your toes into what PC VR has to offer, then you’ll want to pick up Republique VR for free on Steam while you have the chance.
Meta’s Oculus Quest 2 might have made its mark as a fully-standalone VR headset – one that works without needing a PC or console to power it – but if you know how to connect your Oculus Quest 2 to a PC then you’ll be able to experience a whole load of other great games.
But playing PC VR games has its challenges – the Quest 2’s wireless Air Link connection to a PC isn’t always the best and your computer just might not be good enough to run a VR title. Thankfully there’s a free PC VR game available on Steam right now that will let you test out your setup without you having to spend a single dime.
To celebrate the studio’s 10-year anniversary, Camouflaj is giving away Republique VR on Steam (opens in new tab) right now. It’s not clear when the deal will end though, so we’d advise you to get in and grab it for free while you can.
A taster for PC VR
Admittedly, Republique VR isn’t the best VR game out there. The third-person perspective feels odd, and the gameplay (which borrows heavily from the mobile-exclusive original) doesn’t make the most of the immersive nature of VR.
However, the game’s story is an engaging thriller that will likely keep you hooked for the full run, and the visuals are pretty solid to boot. Plus, it’s free. Even if you do end up hating it you won’t have wasted any of your hard-earned paycheck on it.
If you’ve found that your PC VR setup is a success you can then look at picking up some of the best VR games out there like Half-Life: Alyx.
If you don’t have an Oculus Quest 2, or a PC VR headset like the world's best VR headset the Valve Index, then you can pick up a non-VR version of Republique for free instead. | https://www.techradar.com/au/news/oculus-quest-2-players-have-a-great-excuse-to-try-pc-vr-right-now | 2022-08-02T11:55:26Z | https://www.techradar.com/au/news/oculus-quest-2-players-have-a-great-excuse-to-try-pc-vr-right-now | false | 6 |

Liz Truss plan to cut public sector pay would ‘level down’ nation – Tory critics
Liz Truss’s plan to slash £8.8 billion from public sector pay outside London is coming under growing criticism amid warnings it would leave nurses, police officers and teachers poorer.
Conservative Tees Valley mayor Ben Houchen, who is backing Rishi Sunak, said on Tuesday that he was “actually speechless” at the Foreign Secretary’s pitch to party members choosing the next prime minister.
Tory MPs and experts warned that Ms Truss’s proposal to pay workers living in cheaper areas of the country less than those in places like the capital and the South East would be “levelling down” the nation.
Ms Truss, widely seen as the frontrunner to take over in No 10, announced the move as a “war on Whitehall waste” to make savings from the Civil Service.
But Mr Sunak’s rival campaign said the plan would slash the pay of nearly six million public sector workers, with nurses, police and armed forces members facing £1,500 of cuts.
Mr Houchen said: “There is simply no way you can do this without a massive pay cut for 5.5 million people, including nurses, police officers and our armed forces outside London.
“This is a ticking time bomb set by Team Truss that will explode ahead of the next general election.”
Institute for Government programme director Alex Thomas said the proposed savings from regional pay bargaining would not come from Whitehall.
“The whole Civil Service pay bill is only about £9 billion,” he told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme.
“You’re not going to reduce the Civil Service pay bill to £200 million unless you pretty radically reshape the state.
“I know she wants to be radical but possibly not quite that much, so it’s going to come from the wider public sector, it’s going to come from nurses and teachers and local authorities.”
He argued the “complicated and controversial” move would mean nurses and teachers being paid less or receiving slower pay rises than others, adding: “This is not war on Whitehall, it’s more like war on Workington.”
Steve Double, the Conservative MP for St Austell and Newquay, said the “terrible idea” would be “hugely damaging to public services in Cornwall, where we already struggle to recruit NHS staff”.
“The billions saved would be coming straight out of rural economies. This is levelling down not up,” he said as he vowed to vote for Mr Sunak.
North West Durham MP Richard Holden, another supporter of the former chancellor, said Ms Truss’s policy would “kill levelling up”.
Simon Hoare, the Sunak backer who chairs the Commons Northern Ireland Committee, said it is a “totally bad initiative” that would result in “levelling down”.
Unions representing civil servants reacted furiously to the plans.
FDA general secretary Dave Penman said: “As the Government faces the huge challenges posed by a new war on mainland Europe and recovering from Covid backlogs, what we need from a prime minister is solutions for the 21st century, not recycled failed policies and tired rhetoric from the 1980s.”
Civil servants are not a political tool to be used and abused for one person's ambition - they are the hard-working people who keep the country running, day in, day out, and they deserve respect
Mark Serwotka, general secretary of the PCS union, said: “If Liz Truss is elected, and if she tries to go ahead with these proposals, she’ll face opposition every step of the way.
“Civil servants are not a political tool to be used and abused for one person’s ambition – they are the hard-working people who keep the country running, day in, day out, and they deserve respect.”
Mike Clancy, general secretary of Prospect union, said: “Liz Truss has spent the last few weeks trashing the record of her own Government. Judging by this vacuous attempt to garner headlines friendly to her selectorate, she plans more of the same economically illiterate and insulting ideological nonsense that this Government has been churning out in recent years.”
The plan was contained in Ms Truss’s policy to save £11 billion by cutting Civil Service time off, scrapping jobs aimed at increasing inclusion and diversity in the public sector, and by ending national pay deals.
The last point would mean taking into account the regional cost of living when paying public sector workers.
Her campaign argued it could save up to £8.8 billion annually if it was adopted for all public sector workers in the long term.

The arrival of the bus on the first day of school is an exciting time for many students, but for others, it can be a difficult transition.
Michelle Storie is a certified school psychologist and assistant professor at SUNY Oswego. She said she’s seen an uptick in referrals for children struggling with anxiety, depression and ADHD since the COVID-19 pandemic.
"We're seeing elevated anxiety and depression in adults, and certainly if we're seeing it in adults, that's going to carry over to kids," said Storie.
Jeffrey Pirozzolo, superintendent for the Auburn Enlarged City School District, said schools are also seeing that increased demand for services. Auburn has been putting in extra support over the past two years, including social workers in every building and school counselors in the elementary schools.
"We've really built our support staff,” said Pirozzolo. “We're doing lessons daily. Counselors are pushing into classrooms, so we're continuing to provide that social-emotional piece."
Jeremy Belfield, superintendent for the Lafayette Central School District, said his district is also focused on providing that support in the months to come.
"When times get tough for students and for children in general, it's really important that we try to make sure that we maintain a sense of normalcy for kids,” said Belfield. “Connecting with them, finding out what's on their mind, building those relationships."
Storie said parents can help support students at home, too, as the school year ramps up. She said anxiety is often triggered by not knowing what to expect or feeling like there’s a lack of control. It may help to ask if students can visit the school over the summer, and even if there’s already a scheduled orientation, consider if your student may need more time.
"Some kids need longer than that to feel comfortable in a new building or get acclimated to a new building, especially students who may have learning disabilities,” said Storie. “Their visual/spatial skills might not be as strong, so those kids might need a couple of visits."
Storie said also think about what new challenges students may face in a new grade. For example, if they’re using a locker for the first time, practice on locks at home.
Storie said throughout the year, parents should do what they can to let their kids know they can always talk to them if issues come up.
"I think parents need to model when they're feeling upset about something or anxious about something, using those words and talking about what they do to calm themselves down in a situation," said Storie.
She said carving out family time, even just a quick walk or yoga class, can be a great way to provide emotional support at home. | https://www.wrvo.org/2022-08-02/helping-kids-navigate-mental-health-ahead-of-school-year | 2022-08-02T11:59:33Z | https://www.wrvo.org/2022-08-02/helping-kids-navigate-mental-health-ahead-of-school-year | false | 1 |
Reyes stars as PLDT thwarts Army for early PVL semis lead
Games Thursday
(Ynares Center Antipolo)
2:30 p.m. – Army Black Mamba vs Creamline
5:30 p.m. – Cignal vs PLDT
MANILA, Philippines – Mika Reyes dished out another masterful performance as PLDT turned back Army Black Mamba, 25-22, 25-18, 25-21, on Tuesday to gain the early edge in the Premier Volleyball League Invitational semifinals at the Filoil EcoOil Centre.
Reyes unleashed 16-hit effort she laced with 15 kills, including the game’s final point that sealed the Power Hitters their first victory. Her team thus seized the early lead in the race for two slots in the one-game finale.
The effort also solidified Reyes’ place as a leading candidate for the best middle blocker award.
Dell Palomata scattered 12 hits while Toni Rose Basas, Fiola Ceballos and Jules Samonte helped in the cause by chipping in 11, 10 and nine points, respectively.
The Lady Troopers tried to do everything to change their fortunes and even playing minus a natural setter to have three spikers up front late in the game.
But the ploy of using its best scorer in Jovelyn Gonzaga as its setter didn’t work for Army either as Reyes took charge in putting in the finish touches.
Honey Royse Tibuno paced Army with 10 points while Gonzaga struggled with just six hits to show.
Meanwhile, the league resumes Thursday at the Ynares Center in Antipolo with Creamline clashing with Army at 2:30 p.m. and PLDT gunning for a second win in a row versus sister team Cignal at 5:30 p.m.
Foreign squads King Whales of Taipei and Kobe Shinwa of Japan will debut against each other on Monday at the Mall of Asia Arena.

OVERVIEW
During the month of June 2022, a total of 51,302 movements were observed and 2,326 migrants were interviewed across 45 Flow Monitoring Points in Zimbabwe. This represented a 15 per cent increase in total movements comparing to the previous month. The increase in movements was recorded along the Zimbabwe - South Africa corridor only and can be attributed to the increased awareness of COVID-19 rules relaxation and decreased water levels in Limpopo river allowing more migrants including cross border traders to cross between Zimbabwe and South Africa. Movement has also increased through the formal crossing points following the relaxation of COVID-19 entry and exit requirements. | https://reliefweb.int/report/zimbabwe/flow-monitoring-report-iom-zimbabwe-june-2022 | 2022-08-02T12:06:47Z | https://reliefweb.int/report/zimbabwe/flow-monitoring-report-iom-zimbabwe-june-2022 | true | null |

EXPLAINER: Why the term ‘genocide’ matters in Ukraine war
WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Joe Biden declares Russia’s Ukraine war “genocide,” it isn’t just another strong word. Calling a campaign that’s aimed at wiping out a targeted group “genocide” not only increases pressure on a country to act, it can oblige it to. That’s partly because of a genocide treaty approved by the U.N. General Assembly after World War II, signed by the United States and more than 150 other nations. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2685255488471/fgs-global-adds-adm-s-reed | 2022-08-02T12:08:01Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2685255488471/fgs-global-adds-adm-s-reed | true | 12721 |
North Hempstead opens town budget data to public with new website program
North Hempstead's government website next month will become the first on Long Island to feature an interactive financial analysis program that allows the public to analyze, share and compare detailed town budget data.
The software was purchased from the California-based company OpenGov, as part of a nearly $23,000 redesign of northhempsteadny.gov, the town's website. It will make information available that had been provided only to town employees and the media or that was kept in text-heavy documents.
Users will be able to see or calculate a variety of financial information from how much snow removal has cost over the years to how much overtime town departments generated. Program users can also crunch their own numbers to create graphs and reports on any financial data they want to study.
Residents might want to find out how much property taxes contribute to the budget or how their neighbors' property taxes compare to theirs, officials said. A civic organization might want to track how expenditures for senior services have increased or decreased from year to year.
"You won't always have to pick up a phone or show up [at town hall] to get information," said Steven Pollack, North Hempstead's director of governmental research. "It also helps us internally -- employees will be asking fewer questions of each other."
Town Supervisor Judi Bosworth said the service reflects her administration's focus on transparency in government.
"This takes it to the next step," Bosworth said in an interview last week at Town Hall. "We'll have all of our financial information on our website. People can ask questions and get answers. There are no secrets. We want people to know what we're doing."
Robert Freeman, executive director of the Albany-based New York State Committee on Open Government, which advocates transparency, said providing the public with more detailed government operations information on the Internet is a growing trend as people become used to having information immediately available online.
OpenGov has developed similar programs for more than 250 governments in 36 states. Governments using the OpenGov software include those in St. Petersburg, Florida; New Haven, Connecticut; Cleveland Heights, Ohio; Minneapolis; and Sausalito and Ventura County in California.
Freeman said providing as much information as possible online is a more efficient way of handling government business and can save money.
"Anything that can be found online means one less request that has to be made and one less request that has to be answered," Freeman said. "Life is made easier at both ends."
A link on the town's home page will direct users to the OpenGov program and a video showing how to use it.
"It's very user friendly," Pollack said. "You'll type in whatever you want, just like Google."
The fully redesigned town website is expected to be launched by late summer.
Town spokeswoman Carole Trottere said the new website will be more "aesthetically pleasing," provide more information on the main page and reduce the number of clicks needed for inquiries. | https://www.newsday.com/business/north-hempstead-opens-town-budget-data-to-public-with-new-website-program-y25381 | 2022-08-02T12:09:03Z | https://www.newsday.com/business/north-hempstead-opens-town-budget-data-to-public-with-new-website-program-y25381 | false | 1 |

The countdown to the end of summer has surely start since we've hit August, but mother nature is making sure we keep those summer time vibes around here the next few days.
Tuesday will be HOT as high temps climb towards 90. Heat indices will be from 93 to 98 degrees as dew points climb into the 70s. That oppressive humidity will definitely feel very thick and sticky.
We'll see plenty of sunshine throughout the day too, but winds may bring a little relief. Southeast winds at 10 to 20 mph with gusts up to 30+ mph will be responsible for bringing in all the heat and humidity.
There is a chance for a few thunderstorms throughout the day...READ MORE | https://www.wqow.com/weather/forecast/oppressive-humidity-puts-feels-like-temps-in-the-upper-90s-prompts-chance-for-severe-storms/article_bfe0786e-124a-11ed-ad18-e3ad9f2866e1.html | 2022-08-02T12:16:46Z | https://www.wqow.com/weather/forecast/oppressive-humidity-puts-feels-like-temps-in-the-upper-90s-prompts-chance-for-severe-storms/article_bfe0786e-124a-11ed-ad18-e3ad9f2866e1.html | true | null |
As a new Houstonian, I’ve been asking everyone I meet the same question: Where should I eat?
Everyone has an opinion (or two). There was my Uber driver Arlene, who suggested a local chain of Tex-Mex restaurants called Alicia’s, where I’ve been told to order the “best chicken fajitas” as long as I “ask them to really, really caramelize the onions.” A colleague shared her Google map with 129 restaurant recommendations. I crowdsourced via social media, and one person responded, with a laughing emoji, “Everywhere.”
I moved here in July after 14 years in New York City, where I lived and paid my rent writing about food. As the Chronicle’s new restaurant columnist, I have a lot of eating ahead of me — especially to keep up with my colleagues Alison Cook and Greg Morago, who tirelessly cover Houston’s dining scene year after year.
But I’m up for the challenge. I don’t think there’s a better way to learn your way around a city then eat your way through it, especially in one of America's best restaurant cities. So for the past month I’ve done just that, sometimes eating two dinners in one night.
Below are the 31 dishes that have given me a preview of what’s to come: time-tested classics and trendy new spots, an array of cuisines, restaurants inside the Loop and out in the suburbs, and new favorites I already know I’ll be returning to again. This is not a list of Houston’s best dishes — though I keep dreaming of the boudin egg roll my editor pointed me to at Robin’s in Spring — because while I’m quickly catching up, I’m still new around here. I’m getting a feel for neighborhoods, taking notes on how Houstonians dine, and spotting trends.
I’d love to hear from Chronicle readers, so drop me a recommendation on where to eat next. Send an email to bao.ong@chron.com or get in touch on Instagram or Twitter: @baohaus.
1. Pho dac biet at Pho Nguyen
When I tell someone I write about food, they’ll almost always ask, “What’s your favorite dish?” It’s impossible to answer, but usually my default is pho. So it’s no surprise a comforting bowl of rice noodles swimming in an aromatic broth of beef bones was my first meal within hours of landing at George Bush Intercontinental Airport.
2. Suckling Iberico pig at BCN
My first meal with Chronicle restaurant critic Alison Cook at this fine-dining favorite was one I won’t forget. The gin- and wine-fueled night at the bar ended with this plate of suckling Iberico pig with skin so crisp it was like cracking through creme brulee.
3. Hand rolls at Handies Douzo
Houston seems to be on a sushi kick lately, and much of that craze can be traced back to the popularity of Uchi, where Handies Douzo head chefs Daniel Lee and Patrick Pham once worked. For a quick lunch, friends and I sat at the U-shaped counter as a procession of temaki arrived. The fish tasted like it had just been transported from a market in Tokyo, but it was the crisp seaweed wrapper that was most impressive.
4. Sizzling tofu at Phat Eatery
I couldn’t agree more with Alison Cook’s 2019 review that Phat Eatery’s secret sauce is its sambal belacan, a spicy and tangy mix of chiles and fermented shrimp paste. While I found some dishes benefited from a dollop of the condiment, this platter of sizzling tofu didn’t need any fiddling as the cubes of egg tofu soaked every bit of the hearty gravy.
5. Yuzu shiso ramen at Kizuki
A steaming bowl of ramen isn’t exactly what I’d crave during a record-breaking heatwave. The springy noodles and chicken broth brightened with hints of yuzu, a Japanese citrus fruit, changed my mind.
6. Marinated mussels on grilled bread at Squable
This thick slice of grilled bread topped with plump marinated mussels and buttery calico beans is sold as a small plate, but it should be a full-size entree so there’s no fighting over the last bite.
7. Country steak at Cleburne Cafeteria
Houston institution Cleburne Cafeteria rebuilt and expanded after a devastating fire in 2016 but coming here is still like going back in time. The seemingly endless lineup of nostalgic favorites — chicken pot pie, prime rib and even an electric green lime congeal Jell-O salad — can be overwhelming. I decided to go with the country steak special, a flattened piece of beef the size of a football, that was enough for two meals.
8. Barbecue at Tejas Chocolate & Barbecue
Smoked tender brisket, a juicy sausage link oozing with cheese and a decadent carrot souffle is not a bad start for someone trying to learn more about Texas barbecue.
9. Mala beef tendon at Mala Sichuan Bistro
The cold dishes at any Sichuan restaurant tend to be my favorite, with enough heat to keep things interesting without requiring a fire hose. At this reliable Asiatown spot, the marinated beef tendon is thinly sliced and soaked in chile oil — perfect as a snack or with a bowl of rice.
10. Bone marrow tacos at Chivos
A serving of Flintstonse-size bones may look like it’s only good for an Instagram shot, but slathering the gelatinous fat onto a tortilla topped with salsa, arugula and radishes is worth the $24 splurge.
11. Boudin egg roll at Robin’s Snowflake Donuts & Cafe
It’s fitting that the dish I keep thinking about from this past month is a boudin egg roll. I grew up devouring my mother’s egg rolls like popcorn and had only tried Cajun-style boudin once. At Robin’s, the wrapper is fried to a nice golden brown hue without all the unnecessary grease and the sausage filling stays warm like meatloaf that just came out of the oven.
12. Tres leche croissant at Koffeteria
From a blueberry-feta danish to tacos stuffed with Chinese sausage, there’s no shortage of creativity at this all-day cafe. I was enticed by a glistening tres leche croissant slathered with just enough buttercream to complement the flaky layers of dough.
13. Mac and cheese at Lucille’s
I first heard about Lucille’s in June 2020 when then presidential candidate Joe Biden met the family of George Floyd at the restaurant. I don’t know what Biden ate, but I hope his order included the rich and creamy mac and cheese.
14. Mithu’s coriander prawns at Musaafer
The prawns swimming in a bowl of coconut milk tempered with curry leaves includes a heady mix of garlic, shallots and turmeric. The texture resembles a bowl of porridge you’d want to eat on a rainy day with plump shrimp hidden like buried treasure.
15. Banh cuon at Huynh
Following pho, this is probably my favorite Vietnamese dish. Here, the rice noodle is silky and the Vietnamese ham tastes more fresh than like processed bologna.
16. Breakfast taco at Brothers Taco House
A lot can go wrong with a breakfast taco: overcooked eggs, skimpy portions of chorizo and run-of-the mill tortillas.The team at Brothers gets it right and that’s why there’s a line out of the door every morning.
17. Wild mushroom sudado taco at Tatemo
I waited in line for two hours at Tatemo’s two-day pop-up with Alex Bremont Díaz, a former chef at Mexico City’s famed Pujol. By the time I got to the counter, the kitchen had nearly sold out of everything, and I was only able to order one taco. But the wild mushroom taco sudado was one of the best I’ve eaten in recent memory. The tortilla consisted of high-quality corn and the punch of umami from the mushrooms nearly made the wait worth it.
18. Bacon cheeseburger at Whataburger
I’ll consider my first Whataburger experience a rite of passage after every Houstonian I asked told me I had to try it at least once. I’m on board: the well-seasoned patty was seared with just enough char; the fries were better than most chains.
19. Nachos at Candente
I don’t need a crystal ball to tell me I’ll be back here with a fish-bowl size margarita and a plate of nachos, where each chip is neatly composed with a meat of choice, pico and cheese.
20. Lamb tibs at Blue Nile
My colleague, food writer John-Henry Perera, and I couldn’t stop tearing off pieces of velvety injera to scoop up the cubes of lamb sauteed with onions, peppers and onion.
21. Smoked, braised hearty greens at Theodore Rex
It feels like I’ve inverted the food pyramid in the past month with too few servings of vegetables and fruits. Luckily, Theodore Rex was serving smoked and braised greens (collards during a recent visit) that could compete with any meat dish.
22. Bo 7 mon at Saigon Pagolac
Bo 7 mon, or seven courses of beef in Vietnamese, is my new favorite way to dine out with a group of friends. It’s a DIY meal where you can cook slices of tenderloin in a vinegary broth or layer grilled beef wrapped in betel leaves with herbs into rice paper. One tip: while seven beef preparations may sound intimidating, you actually end up eating more vegetables than protein.
23. Mixed shawarma at Shawarma King
A bit of nostalgia for New York City’s halal carts hit last week even though I rarely ordered food from them. Still, I hunted down some shawarma, such as this mixed version with thinly-sliced chicken and beef slathered in a garlicky white sauce that would make a solid desk lunch choice.
24. Potato enchiladas at Saltillo Mexican Kitchen
My visit to Saltillo was the second of five stops one recent night — and I should have stayed put. It took restraint to only finish one of the three potato enchiladas doused in a red chile sauce. This carb lover’s dream looked like lasagna with the melted, charred cheese on top but it’s actually corn tortillas stuffed with fluffy potatoes.
25. Natural wine at Light Years
Light Years is thus far my favorite wine bar in Houston. I had been once before the pandemic, and I am glad they’re still open because there’s a wide selection of natural wines, including bottles to take home. If you choose to hang out in the casual space, which feels like someone’s living room, it’s also a great spot to learn about low-intervention wines whether it’s skin contact varietals, pet-nats (a naturally sparkling wine) or a summery rosé.
26. Fried chicken at Gus’s World Famous Hot & Spicy Fried Chicken
I’m making my way through Greg Morago’s top fried chicken list and first up was Gus’s. There’s an expected hint of heat in the Memphis-style bird, which is juicy beneath a crisp coating, and the sides (I ordered potato salad and collards) are just as good.
27. Lox at Kenny & Ziggy’s Deli
The everything bagel at Kenny & Ziggy’s Deli could have used a little more chew, but the lox surprised me. I can’t think of a place where I’ve seen smoked salmon sliced into paper-thin sheets, as it should be, with such precision. I’ll be back.
28. Cheeseburger at Burger-Chan
I’ve been catching up on Alison Cook’s Burger Friday columns and after reading her review of Burger-Chan, it leapfrogged to the top of my list of ones to try. It didn’t disappoint: the two-ounce patty I ordered was prepared similar to a smash burger but it was the addition of a kimchi relish that set it apart with the acid of the fermented vegetables balancing out the fattiness of the beef.
29. Soup dumplings at Duck ’n Bao
Oftentimes an order of xiao long bao with crab and pork is skimpy on the seafood but these delicate parcels were nearly bursting with the crustaceans.
30. Cacio e pepe at Better Luck Tomorrow
The creative drinks here are worthwhile any day of the week, but I’ll be coming back for Pasta Tuesday. The noodles were well seasoned and cooked to a textbook al dente.
31. Street chicken at Soy Pinoy
Food hall meals often arrive hastily put together with barely more thought than the grain bowl from your favorite fast casual spot. This was not the case of the grilled coconut chicken on skewers served with a side of fragrant rice and tangy pickles. | https://www.houstonchronicle.com/food-culture/restaurants-bars/article/Getting-to-know-Houston-in-31-dishes-17342692.php | 2022-08-02T12:17:47Z | https://www.houstonchronicle.com/food-culture/restaurants-bars/article/Getting-to-know-Houston-in-31-dishes-17342692.php | true | 1 |
Nurses union attacks judge’s conclusions into Fino disappearance from elderly home
Nursing union MUMN says judge’s inquiry into Carmelo Fino disappearance from St Vincent de Paul is laying blame at the feet of nurse left alone to man ward of 34 patients and announce industrial action
Malta’s nursing union MUMN is on the warpath after an inquiry into the disappearance of an elderly man, Carmelo Fino, from a St Vincent de Paul ward at night, is blaming the single nurse on night-duty that evening.
Union boss Paul Pace said the union would resist all attempts at making the nurse on duty a sacrificial lamb, and announced industrial action in a bid to safeguard union members.
Pace said nurses will not admit new patients at SVDP and elderly homes until all wards can supply two nurses for all open wards during the night shift. He said the largest, open wards will not exceed 30 patients and must be staffed by at least three nurses during the day, and two at night.
“If criminal charges are filed against the nurse involved, MUMN will issue further industrial actions it deems fit. Such directives are with immediate effect,” Pace said.”
The union said it had only been provided with the conclusions of the report and that it was not privy to the entire report, referring to a One News report that Fino’s disappearance was “not due to a system failure and that there was sufficient staff.”
“If the report truly states that there was ‘sufficient staff’ on the night of the incident, as reported on One News, this would be a completely erroneous assertion, resulting – one would imagine – from a lack of knowledge about nursing protocols and procedures on the part of the inquiring judge,” Paul Pace said.
Pace said union officials were not interviewed by judge Geoffrey Valenzia, saying the inquiry would been shown the protocol agreed between MUMN and the government, that the ward in question should have been manned at night by two nurses, and not one.
“The fact that only one nurse was on duty on the night in question is clearly a system failure for which responsibility falls totally on the shoulders of the ministry. To make matters worse, this one nurse was a reliever, and most relievers will not know the residents of the wards. This one nurse had graduated only a few months ago with 34 patients and so the ministry and administration left this open ward with one nurse reliever with no experience at all.”
MUMN has long been clamouring about a shortage of nurses which it describes as a ‘ticking time-bomb’ for all nurses at SVDP, Mater Dei Hospital, Karin Grech Hospital, Gozo Hospital, and elderly homes.
“Whenever incidents occur, government resorts to its favourite ploy to put the blame on personnel rather than on its abject failure to ensure the necessary staffing levels according to protocol, agreements and international standards,” Pace said.
The report was said to have placed a collective blame on the ward’s night-shift complement, without distinguishing between its various personnel and categories, between the different duties and responsibilities of the personnel, and without considering that it was not the nurse’s duty to ensure each and every one of the residents were in their place during every minute of every hour of the night shift.
The nurses’ union boss Paul Pace attacked the report’s conclusions as “incredible” and “superficial”. “Clearly the shortcomings which the retired judge points out do not fall within the parameters of the nurse’s duties, but the report places a collective blame on the entire ‘night shift’,” Pace said.
He said the health ministry was patting itself on the back by taking comfort from the judge’s conclusions that the incident was not a result of system failures. “Yet at the same time, it refers to a whole list of measures which were taken after this incident occurred in order to avoid any future repetition of such an incident. A veritable contradiction in terms if ever there was one,” Pace said.
“If there were no system failures, why was there the need to take all these measures in order to change the system? Contrary to the ministry’s self-praise, the extensive measures implemented after this incident occurred, point out to the inevitable conclusion that the systems in pace at the time were poor, insufficient, and inadequate. Responsibility for such a state of affairs certainly does not lie with the personnel and certainly not with the MUMN’s member,” Pace said.
Fino had been accommodated in an open ward that allows patients to enter and leave as they please, without any locked doors. Pace questioned conflicting views about Fino’s alleged dementia, with the judge’s inquiry saying he was not suffering from dementia, while Fino’s family telling the press that Fino was unable to communicate verbally because of dementia.
“Was the ‘night shift’ also to blame for this deficiency, as the judge would appear to conclude? Why did the medical team of Mr Fino never transferred such patient to the closed ward? Why was this omitted from the report of the retired judge? The truth is that this incident could easily have been avoided had Mr Fino been placed in a closed ward; this is a decision which clearly does not fall within the remit of the nursing staff to make.” | https://www.maltatoday.com.mt/news/national/118118/nurses_union_attacks_judges_conclusions_into_fino_disappearance_from_elderly_home | 2022-08-02T12:20:48Z | https://www.maltatoday.com.mt/news/national/118118/nurses_union_attacks_judges_conclusions_into_fino_disappearance_from_elderly_home | false | 1 |

Brooklyn Nets part of Jay-Z's 'American Dream'
Jay-Z has accomplished a lot in his career, but his latest feat has him feeling that like he's living the American dream.
The 42-year-old music mogul and entrepreneur says when he was a poor kid in the New York City borough of Brooklyn, he never imagined that he'd someday own a piece of a basketball team. Now Jay is an investor in the Brooklyn Nets and instrumental in moving the franchise from New Jersey.
He feels his rags-to-riches story embodies all that is possible in America.
"Yeah I think I'm the American dream," Jay-Z said. "That whole thing that you could come here and pull yourself up by the bootstraps, like that whole thing what America has always put up to the world that we represent. I feel that. Yes, I've lived that."
Jay-Z made the comments at the launch party for the upcoming NBA 2K13 video game, where he acted as the game's executive producer.
As a child, he says, he dreamed of glory on the basketball court.
"You know the three-two-one, oh, he hits the winning shot," Jay-Z said. "But no one was ever on the court saying I was gonna own the Knicks. Yes, it's way beyond any of my wildest dreams."
Now as an investor in the Nets, he's even designed the team's black and white logo. Brooklyn has not had a professional sports team since the Brooklyn Dodgers left for Los Angeles after the 1957 baseball season.
Rapper Bow Wow, who appears in the video game, says he's always looked up to Jay-Z, but the move to bring the Nets to Brooklyn immortalizes him.
"I think that's the biggest inspirational thing for any kid growing up in any ghetto and any suburb, and you can do whatever you want to do as long as you put your mind to it. That's a great man to follow, right there," Bow Wow said.
As for his success with music, fashion with his brand Rocawear and now a video game, Jay says his creativity is all over the place.
"When you're an artist, you can see greatness in all things, and you say, man, I wonder if I can try and tinker with that and maybe if we put the music into (NBA)2K and bring those two cultures" together, Jay Z-said. They "were cousins already, so why not bring the family together and let them sit at the same table?"
The Brooklyn Nets will play in the newly built Barclays Center. But before his new team takes the court for the first time, the rapper will christen the new arena with an eight-show run beginning Friday. | https://www.newsday.com/sports/basketball/nets/brooklyn-nets-part-of-jay-z-s-american-dream-e52165 | 2022-08-02T12:22:47Z | https://www.newsday.com/sports/basketball/nets/brooklyn-nets-part-of-jay-z-s-american-dream-e52165 | true | 1 |
State seeks lengthier sentence for Gallina
Aug. 2—ASOTIN — Washington state attorneys are seeking a stiffer prison sentence for former Superior Court judge Scott D. Gallina.
According to court documents, Seattle attorneys Melanie Tratnik and Sean Waite recently filed a motion asking Spokane County Judge Michael Price to reconsider the 15-month sentence he imposed on Gallina last month.
Gallina, a 58-year-old Clarkston resident, served as the Superior Court judge in Asotin, Columbia and Garfield counties for five years before being arrested for sexual misconduct in 2019. On the day his trial was to begin in April, he pleaded guilty to a felony and a gross misdemeanor — both assaults with sexual motivation — for crimes that occurred against two female co-workers at the Asotin County Courthouse.
The plea agreement reached with the defense, state and approval of both victims, called for a sentencing range of 13-to-27 months behind bars, with the state advocating for the high end.
"The plea agreement was crystal clear what sentence the state would recommend," Tratnik said in court documents.
The attorney general's office believes the Court made a legal error in July, when Gallina appeared before Judge Price in Asotin County. At the time, Price said he was confident a 27-month was warranted in this case, but concluded the sentences for each conviction should run concurrently, rather than consecutively.
"The Court's conclusion that it was not authorized to impose the state's recommended sentence was a clear error of law," Tratnik said in her motion. "The Court should reconsider its erroneous legal conclusion, convene a new sentencing hearing, and re-sentence the defendant to the 27-month sentence that Court has already concluded is justified in this case."
The motion will be heard by Price at 8:30 a.m. Aug. 19, without oral arguments. According to Tratnik, the legal basis for the state's request is, "Washington law is clear that imposition of a gross misdemeanor sentence consecutive to a felony sentence is not an 'exceptional' sentence," as previously argued by defense attorneys Carl Oreskovich and Andrew Wagley, both of Spokane.
Gallina is a Pullman native who had a long career as a defense attorney at Clark and Feeney in Lewiston before being appointed to the bench by Gov. Jay Inslee in 2014.
During an investigation by the Washington State Patrol, the former judge was accused of sexual harassment and unwanted touching by multiple women who worked with him, but the criminal charges were based on contact with two victims.
Gallina is now in custody of a state corrections facility and must register as a sex offender and complete three years of community custody when he's released from prison.

REVILLA-SPONSORED BILL FOR PERMANENT VALIDITY OF BIRTH, DEATH, AND MARRIAGE CERTIFICATES SIGNED INTO LAW
Republic Act No. 11909 or the "Permanent Validity of the Certificates of Live Birth, Death, and Marriage Act" was enacted into law Monday, August 1, 2022.
Senator Ramon Bong Revilla Jr., Chairperson of the Committee on Civil Service, Government Reorganization, and Professional Regulation, principally sponsored and defended the bill in the Senate.
Through the law, the certificates of live birth, death, and marriage - that are issued, signed, certified, or authenticated by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), its predecessor the National Statistics Office (NSO), and the local civil registries - shall have permanent validity regardless of the date of issuance.
Those certificates shall be recognized and accepted in all government and private transactions or services requiring the submission of the same as proof of identity and legal status of a person.
The law was legislated to address the growing concern that some government agencies and private institutions requiring the submission of the aforementioned documents accept only those documents obtained in the past 6 months prior to submission, thus creating an impression of a 6-month validity. Though the PSA has clarified that the certificates mentioned do not have an expiration, the constant changing of the color of the security paper leads to the rejection of the acceptance of long-issued documents.
This leaves many Filipinos with no choice but to request new copies of the certificates they need which are an additional financial burden to them.
"Malugod tayo na naipasa na ang 'Permanent Validity of the Certificates of Live Birth, Death, and Marriage Act' na pinagsikapan at pinagtulong-tulungan natin na madinig sa Senado. Ang panalo dito ay ang bawat Pilipino, na hindi kailangan gumastos pa nang paulit-ulit para sa mga certificates dahil ang mga hawak at nabayaran na nila ay di na mawawalan ng bisa", Sen. Revilla said. | http://legacy.senate.gov.ph/press_release/2022/0802_revilla1.asp | 2022-08-02T12:25:49Z | http://legacy.senate.gov.ph/press_release/2022/0802_revilla1.asp | true | 1 |
Acquisition will create an integrated North American dealer, significantly accelerating TD Securities' U.S. growth strategy
TORONTO and NEW YORK, Aug. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - TD Bank Group ("TD") (TSX: TD) and (NYSE: TD) and Cowen Inc. ("Cowen") (NASDAQ: COWN) today announced a definitive agreement for TD to acquire Cowen in an all-cash transaction valued at US$1.3 billion, or US$39 for each share of Cowen common stock. Through this transaction, TD Securities will accelerate its long-term growth strategy in the United States by acquiring a high-quality and rapidly growing investment bank with outstanding talent and highly complementary products and services.
"Cowen is a leading independent dealer with a premier U.S. equities business and a strong, diversified investment bank that, when combined with TD Securities, will allow us to accelerate our strategic U.S. growth plans," said Bharat Masrani, Group President and CEO, TD Bank Group. "Most importantly, the acquisition will provide new capabilities and increased depth in key business lines to meet our clients' needs and will allow us to leverage our combined expertise, talent, and integrated offerings across a much larger client base."
With this acquisition, TD Securities will benefit from the addition of Cowen's 1,700 talented colleagues and its exceptional leadership team. Once the transaction closes, Jeffrey Solomon, Chair & CEO of Cowen, will join the senior leadership of TD Securities, reporting to Riaz Ahmed, President and CEO, TD Securities and Group Head, Wholesale Banking, TD Bank Group. To leverage the strength of Cowen's brand, post-closing, parts of the combined business will be known as TD Cowen, a division of TD Securities, and will be headed by Mr. Solomon.
"At Cowen our success comes from striving to outperform in all we do by exceeding expectations and providing innovative solutions to, and partnering with, our clients. Taking this step will make us even stronger and more effective in serving their growing needs," said Mr. Solomon. "The strategic decisions and focused investments that we have made over the last few years have positioned Cowen for this exciting next chapter of our growth. I look forward to having our exceptional talent and valued clients join the TD family. We plan to do great things together because we are aligned with our cultural values of vision, empathy, sustainability, and tenacious teamwork."
"Together, we will have more than 6,500 professionals in 40 cities across the globe, extending our reach into new industry coverage areas and building even deeper, long-term client relationships," added Mr. Ahmed. "I look forward to welcoming Jeff and his team to TD Securities and to the fantastic opportunities for growth we will create together."
The combined firms' pro-forma global revenues will increase by more than a third to approximately C$6.8 billion1 with added advisory, capital markets, equity execution and industry-leading research capabilities and broadened expertise in key growth sectors. Following the closing of the transaction, TD Securities' existing depth and breadth in global market research capabilities will benefit from Cowen's complementary and highly diverse equity research franchise, which is positioned among the top 10 research platforms in the U.S. by both stocks under coverage and number of publishing analysts2 and includes considerable expertise in Environmental, Social and Governance research. Furthermore, TD Securities' balance sheet and capital markets expertise are expected to bring immediate benefits to Cowen's existing client base.
The transaction is expected to be modestly accretive to TD's 2023E adjusted EPS on a fully-synergized basis3 and generate approximately 14% adjusted return on invested capital on a fully-synergized run rate basis.4 The purchase price represents a 1.7 times multiple of Cowen's tangible book value as of March 31, 2022 and a 8.1 times multiple of Cowen's 2023E earnings.5 TD expects to achieve US$300-350 million in revenue synergies by year three. TD expects to incur total pre-tax integration and retention costs of approximately US$450 million over three years.
The transaction, which has been approved by the boards of directors of TD and Cowen, is expected to close in the first calendar quarter of 2023, and is subject to customary closing conditions, including approvals from Cowen's stockholders and certain U.S., Canadian, and foreign regulatory authorities, including the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI), the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), and under the Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) Act.
To provide the capital required for the transaction, TD has sold 28.4 million non-voting common shares6 of The Charles Schwab Corporation ("Schwab") for proceeds of approximately US$1.9 billion, reducing TD's ownership interest from approximately 13.4% to 12.0%. When combined with this share sale, the acquisition of Cowen is expected to be neutral to TD's Common Equity Tier 1 ratio which is expected to be comfortably above 11% at closing, pro forma for the closing of TD's acquisition of First Horizon Corporation.7
TD's strategy with respect to its investment in Schwab has not changed and it has no current intention to divest additional shares.
Perella Weinberg Partners LP served as financial advisor, and Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP and Torys LLP served as legal advisors to TD. Ardea Partners and Perkins Advisors LLC served as financial advisors, and Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP served as legal advisor to Cowen.

The words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "target," "plan," "estimate," "should," "likely," "will," "going forward," and other expressions that indicate future events and trends identify forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, operational, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of Cowen and TD Bank, and many of which, with respect to future business decisions and actions, are subject to change and which could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated or implied by forward-looking statements or historical performance. Examples of uncertainties and contingencies include factors previously disclosed in Cowen's and TD Bank's respective reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), and TD Bank's other filings with Canadian regulators, as well as the following factors, among others: the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the right of one or both of the parties to terminate the definitive merger agreement between Cowen and TD Bank; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Cowen or TD Bank, including potential litigation that may be instituted against Cowen or its directors or officers related to the proposed transaction or the definitive merger agreement between Cowen and TD Bank to the proposed transaction; the timing and completion of the transaction, including the possibility that the proposed transaction will not close when expected or at all because required regulatory, shareholder or other approvals are not received or other conditions to the closing are not satisfied on a timely basis or at all, or are obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated; interloper risk; the risk that any announcements relating to the proposed combination could have adverse effects on the market price of the common stock of either or both parties to the combination; the possibility that the anticipated benefits of the transaction will not be realized when expected or at all, including as a result of the impact of, or problems arising from, the integration of the two companies, or as a result of economic and competitive factors in the areas where Cowen and TD Bank do business; certain restrictions during the pendency of the merger that may impact the parties' ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions; the possibility that the transaction may be more expensive to complete than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected factors or events; diversion of management's attention from ongoing business operations and opportunities; failing to retain key talent of Cowen after the announcement or completion of the transaction; reputational risk and potential adverse reactions or changes to business or employee relationships, including those resulting from the announcement or completion of the transaction; Cowen and TD Bank success in executing their respective business plans and strategies and managing the risks involved; currency and interest rate fluctuations; success of hedging activities; material adverse changes in economic and industry conditions, including the availability of short and long-term financing; general competitive, economic, political and market conditions, including difficult market conditions, market disruptions and volatility; the inability to sustain revenue and earnings growth; inflation; the impact, extent and timing of technological changes; capital management activities; the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institution's and other regulators' legislative and regulatory actions and reforms; the pandemic created by the outbreak of COVID-19 and its variants, and resulting effects on economic conditions, restrictions imposed by public health authorities or governments, fiscal and monetary policy responses by governments and financial institutions, and disruptions to global supply chains; and other factors that may affect future results of Cowen and TD Bank.
Assumptions about Cowen and TD Bank's current and expected financial performance (including balance sheet, income statement and regulatory capital figures), expected capital availability for the proposed transaction, expected closing date of the proposed transaction, expected synergies (and timing to achieve), integration and restructuring costs, assumed purchase price accounting (including fair value marks), costs of financing, foreign exchange rates, and future regulatory capital requirements, including the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions' announced Basel III reforms effective in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, were considered by TD Bank in estimating its expected return on invested capital, adjusted EPS accretion and/or TD Bank's expected regulatory capital ratios. Examples of material assumptions made by TD Bank in the forward-looking statements, including TD Bank's expectations regarding the costs and financial impact of the transaction, include assumptions regarding Cowen's future net income, transaction costs, transaction process, timeline to close and/or integrate the acquisition, expected synergies, expected value of certain lines of business in the event of a divestiture, future TD Bank capitalization, tax rate, currency conversion rate, and financial results. Assumptions about TD Bank's integration plan, the efficiency and duration of integration and the alignment of organizational responsibilities were material factors TD Bank considered in estimating integration costs.
We caution that the foregoing list of important factors that may affect future results is not exhaustive. Additional factors that could cause results to differ materially from those contemplated by forward-looking statements can be found in Cowen's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, and in its subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC and available in the "Investor Relations" section of Cowen's website, under the heading "SEC Filings" and in other documents Cowen files with the SEC, and in TD Bank's Annual Report on Form 40-F for the year ended October 31, 2021 filed with the SEC and available in the "Investor Relations" section of TD Bank's website, www.td.com, under the heading "Regulatory Filings" and in other documents TD Bank files with the SEC (available at www.sec.gov) and applicable securities regulators in Canada (available at www.sedar.com). All such factors, as well as other uncertainties and potential events, and the inherent uncertainty of forward-looking statements, should be considered carefully when making decisions with respect to Cowen and TD Bank.
Any forward-looking statements contained in this document represent the views of Cowen and TD Bank only as of the date hereof and are presented for the purpose of assisting their respective shareholders and analysts in understanding the terms of the transaction and Cowen's and TD Bank's objectives and assumptions and may not be appropriate for other purposes.

(RTTNews) - While reporting second-quarter results on Tuesday, Henry Schein, Inc. (HSIC) affirmed full-year 2022 GAAP EPS guidance range of $4.75 to $4.91, reflecting growth of 7% to 10% over full-year 2021 GAAP EPS and growth of 5% to 9% over full-year 2021 non-GAAP EPS.

A western Pa. high school teacher is facing several charges after several students were found drinking beer in her home in July, according to a story from KDKA.
Police told the news station that Heather McKallip, 52, a health and physical education teacher from the Burrell School District, located in Lower Burrell, is being charged with corruption of minors, child endangerment, furnishing alcohol to minors, and disorderly conduct.
According to the story, police went to McKallip’s Lower Burrell home on July 24 after a report of a noise complaint.
When officers arrived, they found a group of about 18 minors, some of them holding beers.
McKallip reportedly told police that she had just arrived home and wasn’t aware that the party was taking place, KDKA said, citing a police report.
One of the students, however, reportedly told officers that McKallip had been in the house all night.
All of the students were given breath tests by police, KDKA said, all were found to have been drinking, and all were cited for underage drinking.
McKallip is scheduled to have a preliminary hearing next month. | https://www.pennlive.com/news/2022/08/pa-teacher-charged-after-police-find-high-school-students-with-beer-in-her-home-report.html | 2022-08-02T12:42:35Z | https://www.pennlive.com/news/2022/08/pa-teacher-charged-after-police-find-high-school-students-with-beer-in-her-home-report.html | false | 2 |

Another elderly couple resorts to ‘Gandhigiri’ to evict tenant in Greater noida
Greater Noida: Another elderly couple has begun a sit-in at Ace Aspire apartments in Greater Noida (west) to make their tenant vacate the property. SC Gupta (73) and his wife Lalithesh Gupta (72) alleged that their flat is being illegally occupied by their tenant after the rent agreement expired in March this year.
The couple read about Sunil Kumar (61) and his wife Rakhi Gupta (55) who camped outside their home in Shri Radha Sky apartments for eight days last week, following which they were able to move in after the tenant finally agreed to vacate.
“We have been running pillar to post but our tenant has refused to vacate the flat. The rent agreement expired in March and we have been practically homeless since the last four months. After we read about the other couple who got access to their flat on Friday, we also decided to start camping here with our belongings on Saturday,” SC Gupta said. The couple’s son lives abroad and bought the flat in 2017. The power of attorney was given to Lalithesh and the flat was put on rent the same year.
Gupta is diabetic and his right hand is paralysed, and his wife is a heart patient. “We were living in Lucknow earlier in a rented accommodation. However, doctors advised us to live in NCR because of better medical facilities. We have left that home to come live in the flat owned by our son but are unable to do so. We do not have anywhere else to go to,” he said .
When asked to respond, their tenant Archana Chaudhary (55) refuted all allegations. “I have asked for time till November 2022 from them as my home in Agra is under renovation. I am not squatting on the property and have been paying my rent on time as well. According to the rent agreement, my lease period will end on April 2023,” she said.
SC Gupta and his wife met the district magistrate on Monday. “The couple has been directed to go to the Additional District Magistrate who is the prescribed rent authority for the district according to the Uttar Pradesh Regulation of Urban Premises Tenancy Act, 2021. They need to submit an application to the ADM along with 7.5% of property rent as fees. The law mandates the ADM to hear both parties, issue notices and pass an order within 60 days. Following this, either parties can approach the district court if they want to appeal the order,” said Suhas LY, district magistrate.
“According to the 2021 tenancy act, all rent agreements will be registered with the rent authority, which is the ADM court. However, the state government has not yet made an online provision for such registrations and disputes are being addressed at the ADM court. Any rental disputes concerning residential or commercial properties in urban areas come under this act. The aggrieved party can submit an application at the ADM court and the judgement will be passed within 60 days,” said Nitin Madan, ADM (administration).
Legal experts said that people are currently not aware of the new tenancy laws. “Earlier, all disputes had to go to civil court for resolution and took a lot of time. With the new act, such cases will be addressed by ADM who will act as the rent authority of the district within 60 days. This law not only protects landlords from squatters, but also tenants from unauthorised evictions or increase in rent,” said Kumar Mihir, advocate on record, Supreme Court of India.
He added that while the act has come into force, its implementation is not uniform. “There are some aspects of the act that are still not implemented in Uttar Pradesh. For example, there is no provision yet to register rent agreements with the rent authority, which is mandated by the law.” he said.
Despite al this, SC Gupta and his wofe re resolute about continuing to protest. “We will continue to sit in protest until the tenant leaves the flat. We have nowhere else to go,” he said. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/noida-news/another-elderly-couple-resorts-to-gandhigiri-to-evict-tenant-in-greater-noida-101659437901595-amp.html | 2022-08-02T12:46:29Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/noida-news/another-elderly-couple-resorts-to-gandhigiri-to-evict-tenant-in-greater-noida-101659437901595-amp.html | true | 1 |
India and Pakistan to clash in Aug 28 Asia Cup humdinger
NEW DELHI, Aug 2 (Reuters) - Arch-rivals India and Pakistan will clash in an Asia Cup Sunday blockbuster in Dubai on Aug. 28, the organisers said on Tuesday.
Bilateral cricket remains suspended between the bitter neighbours who play each other only in multi-team tournaments.
A day after Sri Lanka take on Afghanistan in the opener, India and Pakistan will lock horns in the tournament's most anticipated match.
The nine-team Twenty20 tournament was shifted to the United Arab Emirates last month due to the political and economic crisis in Sri Lanka, who retain the hosts' honour.
Pakistan beat India by 10 wickets in a T20 World Cup match in Dubai last year in their previous encounter.
Dubai hosts 10 matches, including the Sept. 11 final, while three will be played in Sharjah, ACC president Jay Shah, who is also the secretary of the Indian cricket board, said on Twitter.

Voluntary benefit carriers need to consider customer experience, product complexity and other issues to succeed
AVON, Conn., Aug. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Integrated claims services are quickly becoming table-stakes in the voluntary benefits industry, but carriers continue to face obstacles with manual processing, access to medical data and customer education, according to a new report from Eastbridge Consulting Group.
Eastbridge's Claims Integration and Automation Spotlight™ Report shows nearly two-thirds of voluntary carriers surveyed now offer claims integration, sharing data between products to automatically open a claim or notify employees about potential claims. The most common integrations are with life, disability and supplemental health data, with medical data integration on the rise.
However, carriers may face obstacles as they develop these integration services, the report shows.
"The claims process is expected to be easy, especially for employees who own multiple voluntary products through the same carrier," said Nick Rockwell, Eastbridge president. "Developing a streamlined data integration process is one of the keys to improving the claims process, but carriers need to keep customer experience top of mind."
The Claims Integration and Automation Spotlight™ Report examines claims processing and claims integration practices for voluntary products from 28 carriers. Topics covered include outsourcing, automation and adjudication, payment timeframes by product, integration practices and types of integration with medical and other product data, methods carriers use to notify claimants, and future trends.
Information about purchasing the Claims Integration and Automation Spotlight™ Report is available on Eastbridge's website. Those interested can email info@eastbridge.com or call (860) 676-9633.

Newcastle United’s summer transfer window certainly hasn’t gone to plan so far as the club have failed to bring in any new attacking reinforcements ahead of the upcoming season - and their latest attempt to sign Chelsea forward Timo Werner is now also expected to crumble.
The Blues striker had been tipped for a season-long loan switch to the Magpies, but now looks set to perform a transfer U-turn in favour of a return to Germany, as Eddie Howe prepares to add him to a growing list of failed deals this summer.
However, Newcastle aren’t prepared to give up and are now being back to sign Blues winger Callum Hudson-Odoi as they plan another fresh raid.
Mirror Football reported last week that Newcastle had entered advanced negotiations with Chelsea over signing Werner on a loan deal until the end of the 2022/23 campaign, and would demand that an obligation to buy would be inserted into the contract clause.
Werner has struggled in his first two seasons at Stamford Bridge with just 23 goals in 89 appearances in all competitions, in which he has failed to hit double figures in each of his two Premier League campaigns, and has long been tipped to depart west London this summer.
Newcastle’s wealth and ambitious project had put them at the top of the list to sign the 26-year-old, who is desperate to succeed in the English top flight, but he is now set to perform a transfer U-turn after it was revealed by Sky Sports in Germany that talks between Werner and former club RB Leipzig are "in full swing" ahead of a potential return.
Would Werner have been a success at St. James' Park this season had he opted for a move? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
The Germany international enjoyed a highly productive four years with the Bundesliga club, scoring 95 times in 159 appearances in all competitions, including 34 goals in 45 games in his final season at the club which earned him his £47.5 million move to the Blues. However, he is now in favour of a move back to his old stomping ground.
That has left Newcastle facing another transfer fail, but there could still be one small glimmer of hope involving their Premier League rivals in the capital. Early last month, The Sun reported that the Magpies had turned their attention towards Chelsea winger Hudson-Odoi after being rebuffed by Everton in their attempts to sign Anthony Gordon, with the Blues said to be willing to listen to offers for the 21-year-old this summer.
And following Chelsea’s capture of Raheem Sterling from Manchester City in July, Hudson-Odoi has been pushed further down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge and is now at serious risk of seeing his career in west London come to nothing, following on from just 15 Premier League appearances last season.
Now, according to journalist Rob Pratley, via TEAMtalk, Newcastle have opened dialogue with Chelsea over the possibility of signing Hudson-Odoi permanently. Pratley tweeted: "Newcastle have formally started talks with Chelsea over a potential signing of Callum Hudson-Odoi. The fee would be significant, and Chelsea are pondering over trying to include a buyback clause."
It is not yet clear how much Chelsea’s asking price will be for the England U21 international, but with Newcastle yet to sign any attacking players this summer ahead of Saturday’s Premier League opener against Nottingham Forest, they may well be forced into going all out for their targets in order to boost their options in the final third.

Netwrix study reveals that manufacturing organizations experienced these types of attacks more often than any other industry surveyed.
IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Netwrix, a cybersecurity vendor that makes data security easy, today announced additional findings for the manufacturing sector from its global 2022 Cloud Security Report.
According to the survey, half (51%) of manufacturing companies experienced an attack on their cloud infrastructure within the last 12 months. The most common type of attack was phishing, reported by 73% of respondents.
Compared to other industries, the manufacturing sector turned out to be more prone to account compromise and supply chain attacks within the last year. 38% of respondents in this sector had to deal with account compromise at least once, while the average for all other industries was 31%. Similarly, 19% of manufacturing organizations experienced supply chain compromise but only 15% of respondents from other verticals reported this type of attack.
"The most common reason for cloud adoption in the manufacturing sector (cited by 57% of respondents) is supporting remote workers. Business pressure to grant remote access quickly to many workers leads to a wider attack surface and might be the root cause for the increased number of account compromise attacks," comments Dirk Schrader, VP of security research at Netwrix. "To mitigate this risk, manufacturing organizations should pay closer attention to identity management, especially for privileged accounts. A zero standing privilege approach is particularly effective in this situation since it creates accounts only on request and deletes them once the specified task is completed."
The survey also shows that cloud adoption in the manufacturing sector is progressing slower than in other markets. Indeed, while on average 41% of workloads are already in the cloud, manufacturing organizations have moved only 35% of their operations there. Lack of budget is the main factor slowing cloud adoption; 45% of respondents in this industry highlighted this reason, compared to 35% overall.
Another difference is that manufacturing organizations are more concerned about the cyber risks associated with their own employees. 48% of respondents consider their staff to be one of the biggest risks to data security in the cloud, which is 11% more than average. This affects cybersecurity decisions: In the manufacturing sector, 75% have implemented multifactor authentication and 70% audit user activity, compared to 69% and 58% respectively in the other industries. Moreover, 41% of manufacturing companies plan to start performing regular review of access rights.
"Cloud adoption is accelerating in the manufacturing sector: These organizations report that they expect 52% of their workloads to be in the cloud by the end of 2023, up from the current 35%. Fast implementation of cloud computing could cause security gaps. Paying close attention to securing all three attack vectors — data, identities, and infrastructure — will reduce the risk of infiltration and its consequences," adds Schrader.
Netwrix makes data security easy, thereby simplifying how professionals can control sensitive, regulated and business-critical data, regardless of where it resides. More than 11,500 organizations worldwide rely on Netwrix solutions to secure sensitive data, realize the full business value of enterprise content, pass compliance audits with less effort and expense, and increase the productivity of IT teams and knowledge workers.
Founded in 2006, Netwrix has earned more than 150 industry awards and been named to both the Inc. 5000 and Deloitte Technology Fast 500 lists of the fastest growing companies in the U.S.

CRG's school mapping technology will be integrated into ZeroEyes' A.I. gun detection platform to help first responders navigate unfamiliar locations
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- ZeroEyes, creators of the only A.I.-based video analytics platform that holds the US Department of Homeland Security SAFETY Act Designation, today announced a partnership with Critical Response Group, Inc. (CRG), a provider of best-in-class indoor and tactical mapping solutions for public safety. CRG's enhanced school building and grounds mapping technology will be integrated into ZeroEyes' platform to deliver critical intelligence to first responders in an active shooter crisis.
CRG's Collaborative Response Graphics® combines a gridded overlay with critical incident mapping data such as high-resolution imagery, floor plans, and building access points, along with exterior parking areas, athletic fields, surrounding roads, and neighboring properties together into one map. These graphics help prepare first responders for more effective command and control between diverse agencies and disciplines when responding to unfamiliar buildings and campuses. First responders use these detailed building and grounds maps to coordinate emergency response within and around a school, labeling hallways, rooms, external door/stairwell numbers, inner and outer security perimeters, ambulance staging areas, and command posts in the event of a crisis.
ZeroEyes' A.I. gun detection technology integrates with a school's existing security cameras to detect visibly brandished guns as soon as a weapon is in the frame. The company's 24/7/365 monitoring center verifies the accuracy of every detection and alerts first responders within 3-5 seconds after a threat is verified. ZeroEyes' monitoring personnel gives the exact location of the threat outside or inside the school via real-time alerts and images based on the geolocation of the latest detection.
ZeroEyes' and CRG's solutions combine to provide accurate, real-time intelligence to first responders on the location of an active shooter threat to aid in response planning and execution.
"Critical Response Group offers a highly respected, best-in-class mapping solution for schools across the country," said Dustin Kisling, SVP of Strategy at ZeroEyes. "By coupling it with ZeroEyes' industry-leading A.I. gun detection solution, we are creating a very powerful solution to help protect schools during active shooter crises."
"CRG's partnership with ZeroEyes means that schools will be safer places for our children, teachers, and communities," says Mike Rogers, CEO of CRG. "What's more, both of our companies share a common lineage — we were both founded by former special operations veterans with a goal of making America safer."
ZeroEyes' A.I. gun detection software is currently used in schools, businesses, and government facilities across 26 states. CRG's mapping capabilities are relied upon by thousands of building owners and public safety agencies across the country.
ZeroEyes delivers a proactive, human-verified A.I. gun detection software solution that integrates into existing security cameras and mitigates mass shootings and gun-related violence by reducing response times, providing actionable intelligence with images and delivering clarity among chaos – ultimately saving lives. ZeroEyes has been recognized by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as a promising anti-terrorism technology and is the first video analytics technology to receive SAFETY Act DT&E Designation.
Founded by Navy SEALs and Special Operations military veterans, ZeroEyes delivers accurate and real-time actionable intelligence about the brandishing of a gun near or in an occupied area or building, to local staff and law enforcement with an image of the shooter(s) and location of the threat, within 3 to 5 seconds from the moment the gun is detected. The ZeroEyes team also provides tech consulting, installation assistance and practice drills for active shooter events to enhance safety at schools, corporate and government facilities. Headquartered in the Greater Philadelphia area, the company's affordable and effective gun detection solution has been adopted by the US Department of Defense, leading public K-12 school districts, colleges/universities, commercial property groups, manufacturing plants, Fortune 500 corporate campuses, shopping malls, big-box retail stores and more. Learn more about ZeroEyes at ZeroEyes.com.

Govt agrees to give financial assistance for solar agri pumps up to 15 HP under PM-KUSUM: Khuba
- Country:
- India
The finance ministry has agreed to a proposal on the Central Financial Assistance (CFA) to solar pumps up to 15 horsepower capacity in the northeastern and Himalayan states, Parliament was informed on Tuesday.
In 2019, the government launched the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan (PM-KUSUM) Scheme with 3 components.
Under the B component, individual farmers will be supported to install standalone solar agriculture pumps of capacity up to 7.5 Horse Power (HP) for replacement of existing diesel agriculture pumps/irrigation systems in off-grid areas, where grid supply is not available.
Pumps of capacity higher than 7.5 HP can also be installed, however, the financial support will be limited to 7.5 HP capacity.
''The finance ministry has agreed to allow CFA for solar pumps up to 15 HP capacity in the north-eastern and Himalayan states considering their topography, and also for community farming in high water table areas with the restriction that the total number of pumps of higher capacity will not be more than 10 percent of the total allocation,'' Minister of State for New and Renewable Energy Bhagwanth Khuba said in a reply to the Rajya Sabha.

Abstract
Electric Vehicle Accident Alert System is a Machine Learning Integrated, IoT based real-time alerting system, operating on ESP8266 microcontroller. Our designed system acts as an alerting system in its truest sense. It uses KNN classification algorithm to analyse the GPS location of the vehicle and generate a prediction indicating whether the vehicle is in an accident-prone area or not. And, if the accident occurs, the Electric Vehicle Accident Alert System sends a SOS alert message with a link to google maps (for directions), to the emergency contact saved in the system. The whole system is based on a plug n play concept, i.e., the system would be ready to use once powered up. To provide this agility and flexibility, we have designed a registration web portal for the device which registers the user and their device with a unique UID on the Cloud. After successful registration, the system becomes ready and can be simply fitted inside a vehicle to be used. Moreover,the ML algorithm saves those GPS coordinates in its dataset to further improve the accuracy of the prediction. The whole IoT stack integrated with ML algorithm, Web Portal and a Cloud server (implemented on Google Firebase), makes our project a self-improving, agile and a user-friendly system. | https://www.safetylit.org/citations/index.php?fuseaction=citations.viewdetails&citationIds%5B%5D=citjournalarticle_725431_19 | 2022-08-02T13:15:32Z | https://www.safetylit.org/citations/index.php?fuseaction=citations.viewdetails&citationIds%5B%5D=citjournalarticle_725431_19 | true | 2 |

Mesopic conditions optimise the detection of visual function loss in drivers with simulated media opacity
Drivers have different visual demands across varying contrast and luminance conditions. However, vision assessments for driving are typically conducted under photopic conditions. This study investigated the sensitivity of photopic and mesopic conditions to detect contrast sensitivity (CS) loss in drivers with simulated media opacities. CS was measured in forty-seven healthy drivers aged 18"“50 years (mean"‰Â±"‰SD: 25.5"‰Â±"‰6.5) under photopic and mesopic-adapted luminance levels with the Pelli-Robson chart and the Mesotest II (without glare). Media opacities were simulated using white-opacity containing Lee Fog filters (1"“5) and CS measured in a randomised order. A significant (p"‰<"‰0.001) reduction in photopic CS (logCS) was measured with the Pelli-Robson chart only when media opacity was simulated with Fog filter 5 (1.53"‰Â±"‰0.15, 2.8 triplets reduction) compared to baseline (1.95"‰Â±"‰0.03). Mean mesopic CS demonstrated a significant (all p"‰<"‰0.001) reduction from baseline (1.67"‰Â±"‰0.14) for Fog filters 3 (1.4 triplets, 1.45"‰Â±"‰0.16), 4 (2.4 triplets, 1.31"‰Â±"‰0.14) and 5 (4.3 triplets, 1.02"‰Â±"‰0.15). For Mesotest II, only Fog filter 5 produced a significant reduction (0.10"‰Â±"‰0.09; p"‰<"‰0.001) in mean mesopic CS from baseline (0.30"‰Â±"‰0.01). Mesopic CS is more vulnerable to different levels of simulated media opacity, hence should be considered clinically when assessing visual function in older drivers at risk of media opacity.

Highly efficient and selective extraction of gold by reduced graphene oxide
Materials capable of extracting gold from complex sources, especially electronic waste (e-waste), are needed for gold resource sustainability and effective e-waste recycling. However, it remains challenging to achieve high extraction capacity and precise selectivity if only a trace amount of gold is present along with other metallic elements . Here we report an approach based on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) which provides an ultrahigh capacity and selective extraction of gold ions present in ppm concentrations (>1000 mg of gold per gram of rGO at 1 ppm). The excellent gold extraction performance is accounted to the graphene areas and oxidized regions of rGO. The graphene areas spontaneously reduce gold ions to metallic gold, and the oxidized regions allow good dispersibility of the rGO material so that efficient adsorption and reduction of gold ions at the graphene areas can be realized. By controlling the protonation of the oxidized regions of rGO, gold can be extracted exclusively, without contamination by the other 14 co-existing elements typically present in e-waste. These findings are further exploited to demonstrate recycling gold from real-world e-waste with good scalability and economic viability, as exemplified by using rGO membranes in a continuous flow-through process.

Levels of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies among fully vaccinated individuals with Delta or Omicron variant breakthrough infections
SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern have continuously evolved and may erode vaccine induced immunity. In this observational cohort study, we determine the risk of breakthrough infection in a fully vaccinated cohort. SARS-CoV-2 anti-spike IgG levels were measured before first SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and at day 21"“28, 90 and 180, as well as after booster vaccination. Breakthrough infections were captured through the Danish National Microbiology database. incidence rate ratio (IRR) for breakthrough infection at time-updated anti-spike IgG levels was determined using Poisson regression. Among 6076 participants, 127 and 364 breakthrough infections due to Delta and Omicron variants were observed. IRR was 0.29 (95% CI 0.15"“0.56) for breakthrough infection with the Delta variant, comparing the highest and lowest quintiles of anti-spike IgG. For Omicron, no significant differences in IRR were observed. These results suggest that quantitative level of anti-spike IgG have limited impact on the risk of breakthrough infection with Omicron.

A multi modal approach to microstructure evolution and mechanical response of additive friction stir deposited AZ31B Mg alloy
Current work explored solid-state additive manufacturing of AZ31B-Mg alloy using additive friction stir deposition. Samples with relative densities ≥ 99.4% were additively produced. Spatial and temporal evolution of temperature during additive friction stir deposition was predicted using multi-layer computational process model. Microstructural evolution in the additively fabricated samples was examined using electron back scatter diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. Mechanical properties of the additive samples were evaluated by non-destructive effective bulk modulus elastography and destructive uni-axial tensile testing. Additively produced samples experienced evolution of predominantly basal texture on the top surface and a marginal increase in the grain size compared to feed stock. Transmission electron microscopy shed light on fine scale precipitation of Mg\(_{17}\)Al\(_{12}\) within feed stock and additive samples. The fraction of Mg\(_{17}\)Al\(_{12}\) reduced in the additively produced samples compared to feed stock. The bulk dynamic modulus of the additive samples was slightly lower than the feed stock. There was a \(\sim\,\) 30 MPa reduction in 0.2% proof stress and a 10"“30 MPa reduction in ultimate tensile strength for the additively produced samples compared to feed stock. The elongation of the additive samples was 4"“10% lower than feed stock. Such a property response for additive friction stir deposited AZ31B-Mg alloy was realized through distinct thermokinetics driven multi-scale microstructure evolution.

Deposition chamber technology as building blocks for a standardized brain-on-chip framework
Microsystems & Nanoengineering volume 8, Article number: 86 (2022) Cite this article. The in vitro modeling of human brain connectomes is key to exploring the structure-function relationship of the central nervous system. Elucidating this intricate relationship will allow better studying of the pathological mechanisms of neurodegeneration and hence result in improved drug screenings for complex neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson diseases. However, currently used in vitro modeling technologies lack the potential to mimic physiologically relevant neural structures. Herein, we present an innovative microfluidic design that overcomes one of the current limitations of in vitro brain models: their inability to recapitulate the heterogeneity of brain regions in terms of cellular density and number. This device allows the controlled and uniform deposition of any cellular population within unique plating chambers of variable size and shape. Through the fine tuning of the hydrodynamic resistance and cell deposition rate, the number of neurons seeded in each plating chamber can be tailored from a thousand up to a million. By applying our design to so-called neurofluidic devices, we offer novel neuro-engineered microfluidic platforms that can be strategically used as organ-on-a-chip platforms for neuroscience research. These advances provide essential enhancements to in vitro platforms in the quest to provide structural architectures that support models for investigating human neurodegenerative diseases.

Intrinsic magnetism in superconducting infinite-layer nickelates
The discovery of superconductivity in Nd0.8Sr0.2NiO2 (ref. 1) introduced a new family of layered nickelate superconductors that has now been extended to include a range of strontium doping2,3, praseodymium or lanthanum in place of neodymium4,5,6,7, and the five-layer compound Nd6Ni5O12 (ref. 8). A number of studies have indicated that electron correlations are strong in these materials9,10,11,12,13,14,15, a feature that often leads to the emergence of magnetism. Here we report muon spin rotation/relaxation studies of a series of superconducting infinite-layer nickelates. Regardless of the rare earth ion or doping, we observe an intrinsic magnetic ground state arising from local moments on the nickel sublattice. The coexistence of magnetism-which is likely to be antiferromagnetic and short-range ordered-with superconductivity is reminiscent of some iron pnictides16 and heavy fermion compounds17, and qualitatively distinct from the doped cuprates18.

Machine learning reveals climate forcing from aerosols is dominated by increased cloud cover
Aerosol"“cloud interactions have a potentially large impact on climate but are poorly quantified and thus contribute a substantial and long-standing uncertainty in climate projections. The impacts derived from climate models are poorly constrained by observations because retrieving robust large-scale signals of aerosol"“cloud interactions is frequently hampered by the considerable noise associated with meteorological co-variability. The 2014 Holuhraun effusive eruption in Iceland resulted in a massive aerosol plume in an otherwise near-pristine environment and thus provided an ideal natural experiment to quantify cloud responses to aerosol perturbations. Here we disentangle significant signals from the noise of meteorological co-variability using a satellite-based machine-learning approach. Our analysis shows that aerosols from the eruption increased cloud cover by approximately 10%, and this appears to be the leading cause of climate forcing, rather than cloud brightening as previously thought. We find that volcanic aerosols do brighten clouds by reducing droplet size, but this has a notably smaller radiative impact than changes in cloud fraction. These results add substantial observational constraints on the cooling impact of aerosols. Such constraints are critical for improving climate models, which still inadequately represent the complex macro-physical and microphysical impacts of aerosol"“cloud interactions.

Biodegradation of high molecular weight hydrocarbons under saline condition by halotolerant Bacillussubtilis and its mixed cultures with Pseudomonas species
Biodegradation of high-molecular-weight petroleum hydrocarbons in saline conditions appears to be complicated and requires further investigation. This study used heavy crude oil to enrich petroleum-degrading bacteria from oil-contaminated saline soils. Strain HG 01, with 100% sequence similarity to Bacillus subtilis, grew at a wide range of salinities and degraded 55.5 and 77.2% of 500 mg/l pyrene and 500 mg/l tetracosane, respectively, at 5% w/v NaCl. Additionally, a mixed-culture of HG 01 with Pseudomonas putida and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, named TMC, increased the yield of pyrene, and tetracosane degradation by about 20%. Replacing minimal medium with treated seawater (C/N/P adjusted to 100/10/1) enabled TMC to degrade more than 99% of pyrene and tetracosane, but TMC had lesser degradation in untreated seawater than in minimal medium. Also, the degradation kinetics of pyrene and tetracosane were fitted to a first-order model. Compared to B. subtilis, TMC increased pyrene and tetracosane's removal rate constant (K1) from 0.063 and 0.110 per day to 0.123 and 0.246 per day. TMC also increased the maximum specific growth rate of B. subtilis, P. putida, and P. aeruginosa, respectively, 45% higher in pyrene, 24.5% in tetracosane, and 123.4% and 95.4% higher in pyrene and tetracosane.

Water stable and matrix addressable OLED fiber textiles for wearable displays with large emission area
Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) fibers with favorable electroluminescence properties and interconnectable pixel configurations have represented the potential for wearable electronic textile displays. Nevertheless, the current technology of OLED fiber-based textile displays still leaves to be desired due to several challenges, including limited emission area and lack of encapsulation systems. Here we present a fibrous OLED textile display that can attain a large emission area and long-term stability by implementing addressable networks comprised of integrated phosphorescence OLED fibers and by designing multilayer encapsulations. The integrated fiber configuration offers decoupled functional fiber surfaces for an interconnectable 1-dimensional OLED pixel array and a data-addressing conductor. Tailored triadic metal/ultrathin oxide/polymer multilayer enables not only the oxygen/water permeation inhibition but also the controllable conductive channels of dielectric antifuses. Together with reliable bending stability, the long-term operation of OLED textiles in water manifests the feasibility of the present device concept toward water-resistant full-emitting-area fibrous textile displays.

Imeglimin exerts favorable effects on pancreatic β-cells by improving morphology in mitochondria and increasing the number of insulin granules
Imeglimin is a new anti-diabetic drug commercialized in Japan (Twymeeg®) and has been drawing much attention in diabetes research area as well as in clinical practice. In this study, we evaluated the effect of imeglimin on pancreatic β-cells. First, single-dose administration of imeglimin enhanced insulin secretion from β-cells and decreased blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetic db/db mice. In addition, single-dose administration of imeglimin significantly augmented insulin secretion in response to glucose from islets isolated from non-diabetic db/m mice. Second, during an oral glucose tolerance test 4-week chronic treatment with imeglimin enhanced insulin secretion and ameliorated glycemic control in diabetic db/db mice. Furthermore, the examination with electron microscope image showed that imeglimin exerted favorable effects on morphology in β-cell mitochondria and substantially increased the number of insulin granules in type 2 diabetic db/db and KK-Ay mice. Finally, imeglimin reduced the percentage of apoptotic β-cell death which was accompanied by reduced expression levels of various genes related to apoptosis and inflammation in β-cells. Taken together, imeglimin directly enhances insulin secretion in response to glucose from β-cells, increases the number of insulin granules, exerts favorable effects on morphology in β-cell mitochondria, and reduces apoptotic β-cell death in type 2 diabetic mice, which finally leads to amelioration of glycemic control.

Coherent helicity-dependent spin-phonon oscillations in the ferromagnetic van der Waals crystal CrI
The discovery of two-dimensional systems hosting intrinsic magnetic order represents a seminal addition to the rich landscape of van der Waals materials. CrI3 is an archetypal example, where the interdependence of structure and magnetism, along with strong light-matter interactions, provides a new platform to explore the optical control of magnetic and vibrational degrees of freedom at the nanoscale. However, the nature of magneto-structural coupling on its intrinsic ultrafast timescale remains a crucial open question. Here, we probe magnetic and vibrational dynamics in bulk CrI3 using ultrafast optical spectroscopy, revealing spin-flip scattering-driven demagnetization and strong transient exchange-mediated interactions between lattice vibrations and spin oscillations. The latter yields a coherent spin-coupled phonon mode that is highly sensitive to the driving pulse's helicity in the magnetically ordered phase. Our results elucidate the nature of ultrafast spin-lattice coupling in CrI3 and highlight its potential for applications requiring high-speed control of magnetism at the nanoscale.

Geometric morphometrics versus DNA barcoding for the identification of malaria vectors Anopheles dirus and An. baimaii in the Thai-Cambodia border
Anopheles (Cellia) dirus Peyton & Harrison and Anopheles baimaii Sallum & Peyton are sibling species within the Dirus complex belonging to the Leucosphyrus group, and have been incriminated as primary vectors of malaria in Thailand. In the present study, DNA barcoding and geometric morphometrics were used to distinguish between An. dirus and An. baimaii in the international border areas, Trat Province, eastern Thailand. Our results revealed that DNA barcoding based on the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene could not be used to distinguish An. dirus from An. baimaii. The overlapping values between intra- and interspecific genetic divergence indicated no barcoding gap present for An. dirus and An. baimaii (ranging from 0 to 0.99%). However, the results of the geometric morphometric analysis based on the wing shape clearly distinguished An. dirus and An. baimaii, with 92.42% of specimens assigned to the correct species. We concluded that geometric morphometrics is an effective tool for the correct species identification of these two malaria vectors. Our findings could be used to make entomological surveillance information more accurate, leading to further effective mosquito control planning in Thailand and other countries in Southeast Asia.

Isolation and identification of antioxidative peptides from crocodile meat hydrolysates using silica gel chromatography
Crocodiles are cultured in large numbers in Asia and other places in order to protect wild resources and meet the needs of human life. In this study, crocodile (Crocodylus siamensis) meat proteins were extracted and hydrolyzed into peptides, their antioxidant peptides were isolated and purified by silica gel chromatography and identified by LC/MS. Crocodile meat proteins were optimally extracted with water and hydrolyzed by papain based on the degree of hydrolysis and antioxidant activity. The hydrolysates were fractionated by ultrafiltration into 3 kDa, 3"“30 kDa, and ≥"‰30 kDa fractions. The 3 kDa fraction showed most antioxidant activity of the hydrolysates. Its active peptides were separated by silica gel column chromatography and purified by silica gel TLC, based on TLC bio-autographic assays of the activity. Four highly active peptides were identified by LC/MS as SSLTIQFVEGQFVDSYDPTIENTFTK, VPPHIY, VAPEEHPVLLTEAPLNPK, and RNGLPGPIGPAG. The identified peptides were synthesized and showed 50% free radical scavenging activities at 1.0 mg/mL, equal or higher to ascorbic acid at 0.5 mg/mL, in both DPPH and ABTS assays. The results indicated that the 3 kDa hydrolyzed peptides of crocodile meat had high antioxidant activity and the active peptides can be effectively separated and purified by silica gel column chromatography and TLC.

Chromosome-level assembly of Gymnocypris eckloni genome
Gymnocypris eckloni is widely distributed in isolated lakes and the upper reaches of the Yellow River and play significant roles in the trophic web of freshwater communities. In this study, we generated a chromosome-level genome of G. eckloni using PacBio, Illumina and Hi-C sequencing data. The genome consists of 23 pseudo-chromosomes that contain 918.68"‰Mb of sequence, with a scaffold N50 length of 43.54"‰Mb. In total, 23,157 genes were annotated, representing 94.80% of the total predicted protein-coding genes. The phylogenetic analysis showed that G. eckloni was most closely related to C. carpio with an estimated divergence time of ~34.8 million years ago. For G. eckloni, we identified a high-quality genome at the chromosome level. This genome will serve as a valuable genomic resource for future research on the evolution and ecology of the schizothoracine fish in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau.

BET bromodomain inhibition rescues PD-1-mediated T-cell exhaustion in acute myeloid leukemia
Sustained expression of programmed cell death receptor-1 (PD-1) is correlated with the exhaustion of T cells, and blockade of the PD-1 pathway is an effective immunotherapeutic strategy for treating various cancers. However, response rates are limited, and many patients do not achieve durable responses. Thus, it is important to seek additional strategies that can improve anticancer immunity. Here, we report that the bromodomain and extraterminal domain (BET) inhibitor JQ1 inhibits PD-1 expression in Jurkat T cells, primary T cells, and T-cell exhaustion models. Furthermore, JQ1 dramatically impaired the expression of PD-1 and T-cell immunoglobulin mucin-domain-containing-3 (Tim-3) and promoted the secretion of cytokines in T cells from patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In line with that, BET inhibitor-treated CD19-CAR T and CD123-CAR T cells have enhanced anti-leukemia potency and resistant to exhaustion. Mechanistically, BRD4 binds to the NFAT2 and PDCD1 (encoding PD-1) promoters, and NFAT2 binds to the PDCD1 and HAVCR2 (encoding Tim-3) promoters. JQ1-treated T cells showed downregulated NFAT2, PD-1, and Tim-3 expression. In addition, BET inhibitor suppressed programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression and cell growth in AML cell lines and in primary AML cells. We also demonstrated that JQ1 treatment led to inhibition of leukemia progression, reduced T-cell PD-1/Tim-3 expression, and prolonged survival in MLL-AF9 AML mouse model and Nalm6 (B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell)-bearing mouse leukemia model. Taken together, BET inhibition improved anti-leukemia immunity by regulating PD-1/PD-L1 expression, and also directly suppressed AML cells, which provides novel insights on the multiple effects of BET inhibition for cancer therapy. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2685055870633/large-area-transfer-of-two-dimensional-materials-free-of-cracks-contamination-and-wrinkles-via-controllable-conformal-contact | 2022-08-02T13:18:39Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2685055870633/large-area-transfer-of-two-dimensional-materials-free-of-cracks-contamination-and-wrinkles-via-controllable-conformal-contact | true | 2 |

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — The rain that unleashed massive floods in Appalachian mountain communities was diminishing on Tuesday, leaving survivors to face a new threat: baking in the heat as they try to recover.
“It’s going to get really, really hot. And that is now our new weather challenge,” Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said at his Tuesday morning briefing on the disaster.
The death toll stood at 37 on Tuesday after more bodies were found Monday in the ruined landscape, and while more than 1,300 people have been rescued, crews were still trying to reach some people who remain cut off by floods or mudslides, he said. Hundreds remained unaccounted for, a number that should drop once cell phone service is restored and people can tell each other they’re alive.
“It is absolutely devastating out there. It’s going to take years to rebuild. People left with absolutely nothing. Homes that we don’t know where they are, just entirely gone. And we continue to find bodies of our brothers and sisters that we have lost,” Beshear said.
The National Weather Service warned that slow-moving showers and thunderstorms could provoke more flash flooding through Tuesday morning along waterways swollen by Sunday's heavy rain, a dismal coda to last week's historic floods. That includes communities just across the state line in Virginia and West Virginia, where some people also remained without power.
Cooling stations are being set up in buildings that were spared the floods as more than 9,600 customers remain without electricity in eastern Kentucky, Beshear said.
“With the heat coming up, we put out the call for cooling stations. And they have been set up in time, in fact before this heat. We may, for the first time, be ahead of the weather,” he said.
“I know you may be out there working to salvage whatever you can. But be really careful Wednesday and Thursday when it gets hot,” the governor said. "We’re bringing in water by the truckloads. We’re going to make sure we have enough for you. But you’re going to need a cool place at least to take a break.”
For hundreds of people whose homes were damaged or destroyed, that place was an emergency shelter. As of Tuesday, nearly 430 people were staying at 11 such shelters, and 191 more were being housed temporarily in state parks, Beshear said.
President Joe Biden declared a federal disaster to direct relief money to counties flooded after 8 to 10 1/2 inches (20 to 27 centimeters) of rain fell in just 48 hours in parts of eastern Kentucky, southern West Virginia and western Virginia.
The disaster was the latest in a string of catastrophic deluges that have pounded parts of the U.S. this summer, including St. Louis. Scientists warn that climate change is making such events more common.
Chris Campbell, president of Letcher Funeral Home in Whitesburg, said his 90-year-old grandmother lost the entire home where she’s lived since 1958. She managed to escape to a neighbor’s house with only some photos. Everything else is gone. And now he's handling burial arrangements for people he's known personally, like a 67-year-old woman who had a heart attack trying to escape from the rising water.
“These people, we know most of them. We’re a small community,” he said of the town about 110 miles (177 kilometers) southeast of Lexington. “It affects everybody.”

(Reuters) - Uber Technologies Inc on Tuesday reported positive quarterly cash flow for the first time ever and forecast third-quarter operating profit above estimates, betting on steady demand for its ride-hailing and food-delivery services.
Uber shares, which have lost more than 40% this year, surged 15% to $28.41 in premarket trading and helped drive an 8% gain in rival Lyft Inc's shares.
Uber generated free cash flow of $382 million in the second quarter, topping analysts' expectations of $263.2 million, as trips exceeded pre-pandemic levels, boosted by the reopening of offices and a surge in travel demand.
The number of drivers and delivery agents on its platform rose 31% to an all-time high of almost 5 million, allaying concerns that soaring gas prices was deterring them from signing up with the company.
"That's right: more people are earning on Uber today than before the pandemic," Chief Executive Officer Dara Khosrowshahi said.
Growth at its delivery business was slowing but Uber expected ordering in to become the standard for consumers as it continues to add new partners.
The delivery segment's revenue rose 37% to $2.69 billion, while that of ride-share business surged 120% to $3.55 billion in the quarter ended June 30.
Analysts were expecting revenue of $2.58 billion for delivery and $2.93 billion for ride share.
Gross bookings, or the total value of bookings made on its platform, rose 33% to $29.1 billion.
Adjusted EBITDA was $364 million, surpassing estimates of $257.89 million.
It now expects adjusted EBITDA of between $440 million and $470 million for the third quarter, well above analysts' forecast of $383.95 million, according to IBES data from Refinitiv.

Motor racing-Alpine learned of Alonso's Aston Martin switch in press release
Alpine Formula One team principal Otmar Szafnauer learned about Spaniard Fernando Alonso's move to Aston Martin only when he read the official press release, he said on Tuesday. And I was told: 'No, no, I haven't signed anything.' So I was a bit surprised." Szafnauer said Alpine had offered Alonso a contract extension which would have guaranteed him a seat for the 2023 season with an option to extend for another year.
Alpine Formula One team principal Otmar Szafnauer learned about Spaniard Fernando Alonso's move to Aston Martin only when he read the official press release, he said on Tuesday. Twice F1 world champion Alonso signed a multi-year contract with Aston Martin on Monday, joining them as a replacement for German Sebastian Vettel, who last week announced his retirement from racing at the end of the current season.
Alonso's decision to join Aston Martin came as a surprise to Szafnauer, who was confident Renault-owned Alpine had been on the verge of signing the 41-year-old driver to a new contract. "It was the first confirmation I had," Szafnauer told reporters on a Zoom call. "Obviously, when we're in the paddock, there are all sorts of rumors, and I had heard rumors that Aston was interested.
"Once you hear that they're interested, there are probably discussions that took place... But I was confident that, even with the discussions, and there's nothing wrong with exploring, we were very close. "So yes, the first confirmation I had was the press release. I did ask the question (to Alonso). And I was told: 'No, no, I haven't signed anything.' So I was a bit surprised."
Szafnauer said Alpine had offered Alonso a contract extension which would have guaranteed him a seat for the 2023 season with an option to extend for another year. "We offered a one plus one deal. And we discussed with Fernando that: 'Look, if next year at this time you're performing at the same level, of course, we will take you and that could have carried on," he added.
"But I think he wanted more certainty independent of performance: 'I want to stay for longer.' And I think that was the crux of the going one plus one as opposed to two plus one or three plus one or three years."

HONG KONG: Hong Kong’s High Court on Tuesday quashed a court reporting restriction for a landmark national security case involving a now disbanded group that once organized the city’s annual candlelight vigils to commemorate the 1989 Tiananmen crackdown.
The decision by Court of First Instance judge Alex Lee removes a ban on reporting imposed by a lower court magistrate and will allow open reporting of pre-trial proceedings — known as committal hearings — in a Hong Kong national security case for the first time.
“The magistrate’s reasoning was totally in opposition to the principles of Open Justice that govern the exercise of judicial power in the context of restricting access to, or reporting of, court proceedings,” Lee wrote in a summary of the judgment, adding that the magistrate, Peter Law, had “erred” in his decision.
Lee also said the court “rejects” a contention by Hong Kong’s Secretary for Justice that lifting the reporting restrictions “would frustrate the ultimate aim of doing justice.”
It was unclear whether the justice department or prosecution would appeal against the judge’s ruling.
The case involves three former leaders of The Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China — Chow Hang-tung, 37; Albert Ho, 70; and Lee Cheuk-yan, 65 — who are charged with inciting subversion of state power under the China-imposed national security law.
Since the trio were arrested last September, they’ve been denied bail, and none other than basic details from numerous court hearings have been allowed to be reported so far.
Lee ordered the magistrate to remove the reporting restrictions at the next hearing — set for Aug. 17.
Authorities argue that the security law which punishes offenses such as subversion and collusion with foreign forces with possible life imprisonment, is needed to restore stability to Hong Kong after protracted pro-democracy protests in 2019.
The law, which was introduced at Beijing’s behest, has been criticized by some Western governments as a tool of repression with scores of democrats and activists arrested and major civil society groups shut down.
Chow, who is in prison over two unauthorized assembly cases, also faces a separate national security charge related to a refusal to divulge information to police about the Hong Kong Alliance.
The Alliance, which organized annual vigils to commemorate those who died in China’s 1989 crackdown on pro-democracy protesters in and around Beijing’s Tiananmen Square, disbanded last September after the arrests of its key leaders.

3 features of a cash-out refinance that indicate you are making a wise move.
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A popular option during a refinance is to borrow more than your mortgage balance and take the surplus in cash. You don't have to pay taxes or penalties on this cash, unlike when you withdraw from a retirement account, and the interest rate is bound to be lower than a typical credit card.
The average rate for a 15-year mortgage (fixed) just dipped to 4.45% according to Mortgage News Daily, almost a whole point lower than in spring. A rate 1% lower than your current rate opens the door for smart refinancing.
A smart cash-out refi has these three features:
If a new mortgage adds years of debt, then the cash didn't really come from your equity, at least not all of it. You'll be spending those extra years paying it back. A sign of a smart cash-out refi is your loan term stays the same. Therefore, if you refinance a 30-year mortgage at the 22-year mark, look into a new mortgage of 22 years.
Remember: A rate just 1% lower than your current rate can save you thousands. Get fast personalized quotes through Lendgo before rates rise.
The power of a lower interest rate combined with surging home values is that you can borrow enough to pay off the old mortgage, get cash, and keep your same payment. There will be closing costs for the new mortgage, but you still come out ahead. Where did the extra money come from? It came from your equity.
Since a refi takes time and paperwork and carries closing costs, you should have a wise plan for the cash. Home repairs are a good use because money from equity gets reinvested in the home.
Paying off credit cards (not just paying them down) is another good use. Then keep the balances low enough that you can pay them off every month. When you never float a balance, you never pay a dollar in interest.
Another smart use is college. Dumb uses include gambling, shopping sprees, and getting in on a "sure thing" in the stock market.
Explore all your refi options on the platform where lenders compete to win your loan: Lendgo.

Harness STO Module Enables Developers to Deliver Highly Secure Applications, Accelerate Deployment Velocity and Minimize Rework
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Harness, the Modern Software Delivery Platform™ company, today announced the general availability of Harness Security Testing Orchestration (STO). The Harness STO module helps organizations deliver business value to their customers more quickly by increasing release velocity and security in deployments, reducing risk and bringing security to all aspects of the software delivery lifecycle (SDLC). Harness STO eases developer workload by automating security scanning and governance in software delivery. To get started with Harness STO, visit https://harness.io/products/security-testing-orchestration.
Standard application security testing practices were not necessarily built with either speed or transparency in mind. Organizations today recognize that increasing the velocity of software delivery through automation is critical to rapidly deliver value to customers. As DevOps continues to gain popularity for rapid software delivery, concerns regarding the speed to quickly identify and remediate application security vulnerabilities and associated risks have increased.
To address these concerns, leading organizations are adopting a DevSecOps approach, which encourages security automation throughout the entire release process and moves security earlier in the software delivery lifecycle (SDLC). While DevSecOps alleviates many late-stage security concerns and the related rework, it also 'shifts left' the work required by developers. As a result, developers need to balance the quality and speed at which they deliver features. Since there is significant time dedicated to running multiple security scanners, processing the large amounts of disparate data they create, and identifying, prioritizing and remediating the security vulnerabilities that are detected, this approach often slows down release velocity.
According to a recent Gartner® report on DevSecOps, "As DevOps continues to gain popularity for rapid delivery and innovation of IT-enabled capabilities, concerns about security increase. Security and risk management leaders must adapt security tools, processes and policies to the DevOps toolchain without slowing the development and release process. …DevOps practices encourage automation to achieve scale, but security has traditionally been manual, process-heavy and gate-driven — the antithesis of automation, transparency and speed."
* (Gartner Report ID # G00377293, "Integrating Security into the DevSecOps Toolchain")
The Harness STO module is fully integrated into the Harness Software Delivery Platform and is purpose-built to enable engineering and DevSecOps teams to deliver secure applications at high velocity. By automating the scanning, analysis, and prioritization that otherwise slows down the engineering team, Harness STO makes it possible to create and enforce application security policies for a single service or across the whole organization. Orchestrating application security scanners across software delivery and processing the output of the scanners to make it easy for engineers to remediate allows for both high application security and high delivery velocity. Harness STO integrates with leading open source and commercial security scanners and can be used with Harness CI/CD or other CI/CD tooling.
Harness STO eliminates the time consuming manual process of reviewing, synthesizing and acting on the volume of disparate data from multiple scanners. Harness STO normalizes, dedupes and correlates the security scanner data and provides a single dashboard with a prioritized list of actionable results to remediate potential code vulnerabilities. Additionally, Harness STO empowers teams to customize governance configuration and establish consistent policies and procedures using policy as code and the Open Policy Agent (OPA).
"As more organizations adopt a cloud-native approach, they must take steps to secure their SDLC. With Harness STO, entire organizations can embrace the DevSecOps approach without requiring developers to become security experts or slowing down deployments. Harness STO makes security a team sport by infusing security into all aspects of the SDLC," said Jyoti Bansal, CEO and founder of Harness.
Harness STO is generally available today and works seamlessly with Harness CI and CD as part of the Harness Software Delivery Platform or is available as a SaaS, on-prem or hybrid offering. For more information on Harness STO please visit https://harness.io/products/security-testing-orchestration.
