Former Congress secretary Girish Chodankar on Wednesday claimed that a company owned by Union minister Smriti Irani's husband shares the address with the bar which his party has alleged was operated illegally by her daughter.
The controversial Silly Souls bar and restaurant operates from the same address -- House No. 452, Bouta Vaddo, Assagao -- from which a company controlled by Irani's husband and family, Eightall Food and Beverage, conducts its primary business, Chodankar said.
The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party in Goa rubbished Chodankar's claim, adding he wasn't competent enough to speak on the issue.
The Goods and Services Tax (GST) number allotted to the Irani family company at the Assagao address is also the GST number of the Silly Souls Cafe and Bar, Chodankar said.
Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant should make a statement on the Silly Souls bar issue, the former Goa Congress president told reporters.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi should drop Irani from the cabinet over the issue, he added.
The minister has denied having any links with the controversial bar based in North Goa's Assagao village.
Chodankar referred to a TV interview that Zoish Irani, the 18-year-old daughter of Smriti Irani gave to well-known food critic Kunal Vijayakar.
"In the interview, Zoish nods in assent when Vijayakar asks her if the Silly Souls restaurant is hers. 'Let me introduce you to a very, very young entrepreneur,' Vijayakar says. 'This is Zoish Irani. Correct? This is your restaurant?' And Zoish Irani says, 'Yeah' and nods," Chodankar said.
He said the Instagram account of Zubin Irani, the minister's husband, includes 'co-founder @sillysoulscafe Goa' as part of his biographical details.
Reacting to Chodankar's claims, Goa BJP spokesman Urfan Mulla questioned the Congress leader's authority to pass remarks against Smriti Irani.
"Chodankar was sacked as Goa Pradesh Congress Committee president and is currently a nobody in his party," Mulla said. | https://www.rediff.com/news/report/firm-owned-by-iranis-husband-shares-address-with-goa-bar-cong/20220803.htm | 2022-08-03T13:06:37Z | https://www.rediff.com/news/report/firm-owned-by-iranis-husband-shares-address-with-goa-bar-cong/20220803.htm | false | 2 |

Dublin, Aug. 03, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "TV White Space Spectrum - Global Market Trajectory & Analytics" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
Global TV White Space Spectrum Market to Reach $127.2 Million by 2026
The global market for TV White Space Spectrum estimated at US$19.9 Million in the year 2022, is projected to reach a revised size of US$127.2 Million by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 54.3% over the analysis period.
After a thorough analysis of the business implications of the pandemic and its induced economic crisis, growth in the Fixed segment is readjusted to a revised 49.5% CAGR for the next 7-year period.
TV white space spectrum represents unused frequencies or spectrum between active frequencies of ultra-high frequency (UHF) and very high frequency (VHF) bands. Also popular as buffer channels, these channels can be allocated for unlicensed use to players for areas not covered by licensed services.
International and national agencies assign frequencies for various applications, with the broadcaster holding license for the spectrum. The frequency allocation involves band-plans that include assigning of white space among used channels or radio bands for avoiding interference. While several frequencies remain unused, they are assigned for specific purposes like guard band. The white space generally exists between various used channels as allocation of adjacent transmissions to nearby channels tends to cause undesirable interference.
Apart from allocation of white space for certain technical issues, the process results in unused radio spectrum that is never used by players or getting free due to technological changes. One of the main reasons behind creation of vacant spaces is the transition toward digital TV that is freeing up parts between 50MHz and 700MHz. The space creation can be attributed to packing of digital transmissions into adjacent channels, leading to compression of the band into fewer channels that permit more transmissions.
Various studies have demonstrated that the unused white spectrum can be effectively leveraged for providing broadband Internet without affecting TV channels. TV white space spectrum is being exploited by several telecom and technology providers to deliver broadband Internet services.
The U.S. Market is Estimated at $11.5 Million in 2022, While China is Forecast to Reach $13.3 Million by 2026
The TV White Space Spectrum market in the U.S. is estimated at US$11.5 Million in the year 2022. China, the world's second largest economy, is forecast to reach a projected market size of US$13.3 Million by the year 2026 trailing a CAGR of 67.1% over the analysis period. Among the other noteworthy geographic markets are Japan and Canada, each forecast to grow at 52.3% and 55.4% respectively over the analysis period.
The market is garnering a notable steam owing to increasing connectivity between advanced wireless networks and wireless devices coupled with strong demand for the technology across rural areas. The proliferation of low-power, smart mobile devices and growing use of TV white space spectrum for Internet connectivity for non-line-of-sight areas has significantly favored the market.
Positive developments and supportive government policies regarding allocation of vacant spectrum to companies are propelling the market growth. The increasing use of TV white space spectrum to improve Internet connectivity across rural areas and robust demand for cost-efficient broadband connectivity are anticipated to provide a major boost to the market.
Various governments are making aggressive attempts to de-license unused spectrum, which is bound to push adoption of the spectrum for different applications. Global demand for TV white space spectrum is anticipated to be further augmented by ongoing initiatives to use communication networks by emergency and public safety organizations such as police, fire departments and emergency medical teams responding to natural disasters and accidents.
However, limited regulations pertaining to adoption of the spectrum and unavailability of commercial standards are major constraints for the market.
On the other hand, the recent decision of the ISO to approve new network standards is expected to favor the launch of next-generation technologies to allow provisioning of advanced broadband Internet and monitoring services across rural areas.

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Dunwoody College of Technology, a private, non-profit institution and pioneer in technical education, today announces that it has received American Council for Construction Education (ACCE) accreditation for its Construction Project Management Associate of Applied Science Degree program. The accreditation highlights the program's strong, comprehensive curriculum, along with a network of supportive industry partners.

New product measures cross-platform ad effectiveness and full-funnel customer behaviors
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading customer experience (CX) intelligence platform DISQO today announced the launch of Outcomes Lift, the industry's first product measuring the full incremental impact of cross-platform advertising campaigns on marketing funnel outcomes. Outcomes Lift provides advertisers with increased visibility into the entire customer experience journey, everything from search to e-commerce transactions, formerly obscured by limited access and deprecated methodologies.
As the industry faces the mitigation and eventual loss of identifiers like cookies and mobile IDs, Outcomes Lift arms marketers with insight into critical funnel behaviors occurring post-ad exposure, including search, site visitation, and e-commerce activities. Independent, objective and fully-consented, Outcomes Lift measures all digital platforms, including CTV, OLV, display, mobile, e-commerce sites, and siloed, hard-to-measure social sites.
DISQO Outcomes Lift is seeing hyper growth with brands, agencies and publishers, including blue-chip clients like Adidas, APCO, CROSSMEDIA. Havas Media Group, Haworth Marketing + Media, GoodRX, MediaCom, Nestlé Purina, Teads, and Vevo.
"Knowing that media channels are not just lifting brand equity measures but also getting people down the funnel with our brands has been really important for us and a really rich way to look at campaign performance beyond just the historical brand lift," said Emily Weishaupt, Communications Insights Manager, Nestlé Purina.
"As the world's leading music video network, it's critical that we have the right tools to prove the value of our content and how we can drive key client KPIs," said Maegan Nevins, Director of Analytics, Vevo. "DISQO's Outcomes Lift has helped us show the specific behavioral impacts that happen post ad exposure on Vevo, expanding our measurement toolkit."
DISQO's CX intelligence platform passively measures more than 1B customer journey touchpoints monthly. With consented visibility into the underlying behaviors driving outcomes, marketers can better engage with prospective and existing customers and optimize campaign ROI. Outcomes Lift empowers advertisers to future-proof their measurement against new platform silos and ad formats, as well as identifier technology disruptions down the line.
"Outcomes Lift illuminates the pervasive blind spots that existed even before the deprecation of cookies and other outdated identifiers," said Stephen Jepson, EVP, Advertising Effectiveness, DISQO. "Our Brand and Outcomes Lift products are setting the bar in ad measurement because, rather than stitching together workarounds from incomplete data sources, we've invited people to share their experiences passively and directly through our platform."
For more information on DISQO's Outcomes Lift, visit our website.
"Discerning clients hire APCO to help them better understand their customers' experiences, expectations and the forces of disruption," said Jonathan Ewing, Director of Paid Media, APCO Worldwide. "Essential to this is understanding consumer behaviors post ad exposure and at other brand touchpoints. DISQO has helped us to shed new light on this for our brand clients."

2022 midterm primary results in Arizona, Missouri, Kansas, Michigan and Washington
get the free appVotes were cast Tuesday in five states, including some that were battlegrounds in 2020 — and will be again in 2024. Kansas voters voted to preserve abortion access Tuesday night, as abortion faced its first test at the ballot box since the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade.
With former President Donald Trump's influence looming large in some of Tuesday's primaries, a CBS News poll released Tuesday showed that for Republicans, a Trump endorsement is a plus for that candidate, and even more so among Republicans who say they "always" vote in Republican primaries, most of whom identify as MAGA Republicans.
Arizona
In Arizona, Trump has rallied for his allies in the races for Senate, governor and secretary of state. Arizona was one of the key battleground states that went for President Biden in 2020. After the election, some Republicans in the state tried to overturn the results, with a plan to send a slate of phony alternate electors who supported Trump to Congress for the Electoral College certification, rather than the electors won by Mr. Biden.
In the Republican primary to take on Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly in November, Trump backed Blake Masters, who had a comfortable lead according to two polls ahead of the primary.
For governor, former TV news anchor Kari Lake and lawyer Karrin Taylor Robson were in a tight contest for the GOP nomination that repeats a dynamic between Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence: Trump has backed Lake, while Pence, along with term-limited sitting Republican Gov. Doug Ducey, have backed Taylor Robson. Last month, Trump and Pence held dueling rallies for Lake and Robson on the same day.
Trump has also backed a challenger to state House Speaker Rusty Bowers, who testified in June at a House Jan. 6 committee public hearing. Bowers is term-limited out of that position but is running for state Senate. Days before the primary, the Arizona GOP voted to formally censure him for his testimony, a culmination of the frustrations many far-right members have with Bowers' past refusal to support Trump-backed attempts to overturn the 2020 election.
This year, Bowers helped block a bill, introduced by Secretary of State candidate and current state Rep. Shawnna Bolick, to empower the legislature to choose its own electors, regardless of how the people voted. For his actions, the former president lashed out against him, calling the Speaker a "RINO coward," and endorsed his opponent, former state Sen. David Farnsworth.
Missouri
CBS News projects that Attorney General Eric Schmitt, who has been leading the crowded field, wins the Republican nomination for the open Senate seat in Missouri. Eric Greitens, the former governor who resigned in 2018 and has faced allegations of domestic abuse, led early in the race, but an $11 million ad blitz by two anti-Greitens groups chipped it away.
On the eve of the primary, Trump issued a kind of split endorsement in the race, throwing his support behind "ERIC." Both Eric Schmitt and Eric Greitens quickly claimed they'd won his backing.
In Missouri's 1st Congressional District, CBS News projects incumbent Rep. Cori Bush, who unseated a longtime incumbent in 2020, will win her primary.
Meanwhile, three of the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump are facing Trump-backed primary challengers. Trump posted Tuesday on Truth Social to urge Republican voters to "knock out impeachment slime."
Michigan
In Michigan, CBS News projects John Gibbs defeats incumbent Rep. Peter Meijer, one of the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump. Trump had backed Gibbs in the primary, and Gibbs will now face Democratic nominee Hillary Scholten in the general election.
In a statement early Wednesday, Meijer said he is "proud to have remained true to my principles, even when doing so came at a significant political cost."
In the race to take on Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, CBS News projects Tudor Dixon will win the Republican nomination. Dixon, backed by Trump, had been seen by Republican strategists as the strongest candidate to take on Whitmer. Among the Republicans Dixon defeated was Ryan Kelley, who was arrested in June related to his participation in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
"Now we have the opportunity to truly hold Gretchen Whitmer accountable for the pain she has inflicted on every one of us in the past three years," Dixon said at her election night watch party in Grand Rapids, Mich., referring to the lockdowns imposed during the early part of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Washington
In Washington, the top two vote-getters will advance to the general election regardless of party affiliation. Republican Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler in the 3rd District and Dan Newhouse in the 4th District both face the risk of being shut out because of Trump-backed challengers.
Kansas
Kansas voted to preserve abortion access, voting "no" on a proposition to amend the state constitution, marking the first time a state has voted on abortion since the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade.
Kansas Democratic Party Chairwoman Vicki Hiatt celebrated the win for abortion access, saying in a statement, "This outcome affirms what we know is true: Kansans want common sense leadership that will protect their right to keep politicians out of their health care decisions."
In 2019, Kansas' state Supreme Court ruled that the right to an abortion is protected in the state constitution's bill of rights. Voters were deciding whether to allow the constitution to be amended in order to allow the legislature to ban abortion.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Temperatures were expected to soar on Wednesday in a region of eastern Kentucky where people are shoveling out from the wreckage of massive flooding, many in places without electricity.
The rising heat and humidity meant heat index values near 100 by midday, a steam bath that will continue through Thursday evening, the National Weather Service said.
This week’s weather added to the hardships in Knott County, where Kirsten Gomez’s husband and cousin were gutting their doublewide trailer of drywall, flooring and cabinets ruined by floodwaters from nearby Troublesome Creek.
“It is so miserable. The humidity is so high, it takes your breath,” Gomez said Tuesday. “Your clothes stick to you. Your hair sticks to you. This mud is caked on you. … But I’m just blessed that we don’t have rain anymore.”
Cooling centers were opened after forecasters warned of the risk of heat-related illnesses in an advisory issued for the flood-ravaged area.
The death toll stood at 37, 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. About 5,000 customers still lacked electricity in eastern Kentucky as of Wednesday morning, according to Poweroutages.com. Emergency shelters housed hundreds of residents who had homes destroyed or damaged.
The historic flooding also hit areas just across the state line in Virginia and West Virginia, where some people also remained without power.
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 last week in the Appalachian mountain region.

Kick It Out chief executive Tony Burnett has backed the decision of Premier League players to stop taking the knee ahead of every match, but he wants the conversation around racism to continue.
Premier League captains decided that the gesture, which started in June 2020 in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement, will now be used only on specific occasions.
Burnett supports the move as long as the problem of racism is kept on the agenda.
“We support the players in whatever they decide, but we want to make sure that going forward, irrespective of taking the knee, that we are still talking about racism, we are talking about reasons why players had to take the knee, because those issues haven’t gone away,” he told the PA news agency.
“Whenever they choose to use their voice to speak out against injustice it is a positive message and we continue to support it, but more broadly we want to make sure that we keep racism on the agenda because it has not gone away and it is not going away.
“Players have done a fantastic job in trying to highlight that over the last couple of years and we have to keep that momentum up when it comes to tackling the issue.”
Burnett says racism in football remains rife and that it is a reflection of a wider problem in society.
“The discussion is about broader society. football is a reflection of society and I think we are in a really dangerous position when it comes to racism in society,” he added.
“It is probably at its most dangerous time in my living memory and we need to do a huge amount of work to progress it. One of the first things we want to see is a broader awareness and more real education about history, and especially black history, in schools.
“That is the discussion that the government just don’t want to have. So no, I don’t think there is enough being done from a society perspective and football is a reflection of society.”
Premier League captains agreed to perform the act ahead of this weekend’s opening round of games, dedicated ‘No Room For Racism’ matches in October and March, on Boxing Day, the final round of the season and the FA Cup and Carabao Cup finals.
They said in a joint statement: “We have decided to select significant moments to take the knee during the season to highlight our unity against all forms of racism and in so doing we continue to show solidarity for a common cause.
“We remain resolutely committed to eradicate racial prejudice, and to bring about an inclusive society with respect and equal opportunities for all.”
A total of £238,000 will also be donated to designated youth clubs on behalf of the captains following money raised from the ‘No Room For Racism’ sleeve badges sold on club shirts last season, with the Premier League matching the £119,000 generated.
The Professional Footballers’ Association says its members did not want the gesture to become routine.
“We’ve always been clear that choosing whether to take the knee should be a personal decision for each individual,” chief executive Maheta Molango said.
“We’ve spoken to players about this and what we’ve heard is that they want to find a balance.
“They don’t want the gesture of taking the knee to become routine, so that it potentially loses its impact. However, they are also committed to using their platform and their voice to continue to bring attention to what remains an extremely important issue, not just in England but around the world.”
Bristol City and Swansea both announced on the eve of the EFL season that they would no longer take the knee as they felt the act had been diluted.
The EFL continues to support any player who takes the knee before the game, but also backs those who have chosen not to and will fight discrimination in other ways.

Southeast Asia-focused early-stage technology venture capital firm Insignia Ventures has collected $516m across two funds as the firm hits its fifth anniversary.
The firm has secured $388m for the main fund IVPF III, $28m for an entrepreneur pool that invests alongside the main fund, and $100m for Annex Fund I.
The firm has closed the oversubscribed Fund III on its hard cap.
Yinglan Tan, founding managing partner at Insignia, said “We could have raised a much higher amount but we have learned that smaller, tighter funds do better.”
Tan said limited partners were initially skeptical of whether Southeast Asia was sufficiently large and addressable when they raised their first $120m fund in 2017.
However it went on to raise a bigger fund and closed Fund II on $200m three years ago.
Tan said, “We see a once-in-a-decade opportunity to capture outlier returns, as the winners become very obvious when the tide goes out.
At the same time, winners cannot just be defined by valuations and scale but are ultimately companies with sustainable unit economics and concrete value creation. There is a fine balance between speed and endurance that defines our search for outlier returns.”
Insignia was launched by Tan after he left Sequoia Capital.
Its portfolio included unicorns like the Southeast Asia auto retail platform Carro, Indonesian digital investment platform Ajaib, AI for business intelligence company Appier, and Indonesian tech juggernaut GoTo.
Other investments include Indonesian fintech Payfazz, Indonesian commerce enabler Shipper, and the Philippines’ first fully digital bank Tonik.
The firm has over $46bn in enterprise value and £304m of invested capital. It has a loss ratio under 2%.

- Commentary points to need for a vaccine based on nucleocapsid vs. spike protein to make vaccine less vulnerable to mutation and provide stronger immunity to novel viral variants
- Company's development of a nucleocapsid vaccine, a recombinant replication-competent adenoviral vaccine which has been engineered to express the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein at high levels, is ready for partnering to take forward into clinical trials
- Intended to protect against current COVID-19 variants as well as future coronavirus pandemics
TORREY PINES, Calif., Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- EpicentRx Inc. ("EpicentRx"), a late-stage biopharmaceutical company developing platforms that treat and target multiple immune-mediated disorders, has published a commentary in one of the top infectious disease journals, International Journal of Infectious Disease (IJID), emphasizing the importance of a "universal" coronavirus vaccine based on the nucleocapsid or N protein instead of the spike or S protein, which is used in current COVID vaccines. The commentary is authored by Bryan Oronsky, Chris Larson, Scott Caroen, Farah Hedjran, Ana Sanchez, and Tony Reid, all of EpicentRx. (click on link to read: IJID nucleocapsid commentary).
The authors point to the N-protein, as an internal RNA-binding protein, as being more essential to viral survival than the S protein, and much more stable and less likely to mutate. Based on this fact, the authors contend that an N-based vaccine would be useful not only against the new COVID-19 variants that continue to appear with regularity but also possibly against all coronaviruses, present or future, since nucleocapsid is a highly conserved or shared coronavirus protein with the potential to establish broad protective immunity.
According to viral immunologist and EpicentRx CEO, Dr. Tony R. Reid, "We've already faced three coronavirus pandemics, starting with SARS CoV-1, then MERS, and now SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19. There have been reports of potential future pandemics due to new variants, which means we need to be ready for the ever-present possibility of ongoing mutation of the virus, especially within the spike protein, as the virus circulates in the population, or the potential for future transmission from animals to humans. If you look at the first SARS-CoV-1 patients, even now they still have T-cells, which recognize the SARS N-protein, and this potentially immunizes them against other coronaviruses. That's why we made a nucleocapsid targeting vaccine."
This vaccine was developed from EpicentRx's adenovirus vaccine platform called AdAPT. The adenovirus, an agent of the common cold, has been modified to carry different genes, which in the case of the EpicentRx vaccine, is nucleocapsid. When the vaccine is injected, it makes many copies of itself, and the nucleocapsid gene that it carries, in the capacity of a "biologic factory" for high level production of nucleocapsid inside the body. The first AdAPT clinical candidate and immediate predecessor of this vaccine is called AdAPT-001, currently in a Phase 1 trial for the treatment of cancer (BETA PRIME; ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04673942). AdAPT-001 carries a gene that traps or neutralizes a protein called transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta), which helps tumors to grow.
The EpicentRx vaccine was made "in house" at its own Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) Production Facility, which is a departure from the usual pharmaceutical model of outsourcing contract manufacturing to third party companies. Based on its experience with AdAPT-001, EpicentRx moved rapidly on design and manufacture of the vaccine for a Phase 1 clinical trial. As Dr. Reid explained, "This is the time for chess, not checkers. If we don't plan ahead, we'll be chasing this virus from behind".
About EpicentRx Inc.

It reviews Zero Waste to Landfill, Energy Reduction, Renewable Energy, and Carbon Reduction as it relates to Green Production. It also includes how Essex Furukawa is embracing Disruptive Innovation, and the steps already made in pursuit of Agile Digitization goals.
Austin Robinson, Sustainability Project Manager for Essex Furukawa, said that through these consistent communication efforts Essex Furukawa will be able to establish transparency both internally and externally.
"As we strive to create a sustainable future, we must remain steadfast in analyzing our data, finding additional solutions, and embracing a leadership mentality in sharing the results," she said. "We have made tremendous strides in many areas that are detailed in this report.
"Ultimately, we are very proud of the efforts made and of those that will continue into the future."
This Vision 2030 journey that Essex Furukawa has set out on does not stop with this first report. It is just an initial outpost. In releasing our findings from the last calendar year, we view today's action as an acknowledgment of what has been done, benchmarking it, and then setting our course of action for the future.

I spent $397 on Kim Kardashian’s skincare & tried it for a month – there was a big issue but there’s an item I recommend
WHEN I posted my SKKN by Kim shopping haul on Instagram in June, everyone was curious: What did I really think of it? Was it worth it?
Over a month into using her line, I've made up my mind – and while I'm not all complaints, I still can't wrap my head around the prices.
I totally get why Kim Kardashian's new skincare line has piqued everyone's interest.
After I wrote my first review – comparing Kim's line to Kylie Jenner's skincare line – even my dad read the piece (though that was probably more about him loving me than Kim – sorry, Kim).
The packaging is beautiful, her social media content is compelling, and really, who wouldn't want to look like this woman?
But like most people, my eyebrows shot way up when I saw the prices, including $90 for hyaluronic acid and $85 for moisturizer.
Still, I wondered, would I like her serums more than the $7.50 ones by The Ordinary? Would her face cream be an upgrade to my $10 bottle from Cetaphil?
My brutally honest take: Nope.
I only bought five out of the nine products for an eye-watering total of $397 including tax: The $43 cleanser, the $90 hyaluronic acid, the $90 vitamin C8 serum, the $55 exfoliator, and the $85 moisturizer.
And really, there is nothing actually wrong with any of them. The cleanser gets my face clean. The moisturizer feels moisturizing.
Most read in Lifestyle
I assume the hyaluronic acid and vitamin C8 are working, though I was already using hyaluronic acid and a vitamin C serum from other brands, so I haven't noticed any changes in my face.
Price aside, my only other complaints are super nitpicky and wouldn't be reason enough for me to never buy them again if I were in love with them.
For example, I wish the hyaluronic acid dispensed less in a single pump. As it is, I get way more than I need for my face and feel like I'm going through the bottle faster than I need to.
I also made the mistake of moving the vitamin C bottle around too much and a bit splashed out without me pushing the pump, so I wonder what kind of oxygen exposure it might be getting, just sitting there.
And I'm really not crazy about how the hyaluronic acid and vitamin C come in identical bottles with their names printed in tiny font at the bottom, so I have to lift each one up and read it to know which it is.
I use one in the morning and one at night, and I usually end up picking up the wrong one. Sure, not as dangerous as your sugar and salt coming in identical packaging, but still annoying.
Finally, Kim's whole refillable bottle system, supposedly sustainable, gets a big eye roll from me.
The removable refills come in their own sturdy plastic packaging, so it's not actually sustainable at all. You just get the "nice" thicker plastic container on the outside and the cheaper plastic container you replace on the inside.
Otherwise, though, they're solid products that I'd use again – if they were half to a third of the price.
But all this considered, you may still be thinking: "I know. I know SKKN is overpriced. I know 'expensive' doesn't mean 'better.' But I can't help it... I still want to try something."
In that case, I have two recommendations.
You could buy the cleanser, which is the least expensive at $43 – and may only be about $20 or so more than your usual cleanser.
Or you could buy the exfoliator. At $55, it's pricey. It certainly costs more than any drugstore buy from Neutrogena or Clean & Clear.
But it's definitely the coolest product of the bunch. It's both a chemical exfoliant and a physical one, it comes with a fun metal spoon for scooping, and it has a really nice rose fragrance (the other products are all fragrance-free). | https://www.the-sun.com/lifestyle/5871826/is-skkn-kim-kardashian-skincare-worth-it/ | 2022-08-03T13:40:17Z | https://www.the-sun.com/lifestyle/5871826/is-skkn-kim-kardashian-skincare-worth-it/ | true | 4 |
- Commentary points to need for a vaccine based on nucleocapsid vs. spike protein to make vaccine less vulnerable to mutation and provide stronger immunity to novel viral variants
- Company's development of a nucleocapsid vaccine, a recombinant replication-competent adenoviral vaccine which has been engineered to express the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein at high levels, is ready for partnering to take forward into clinical trials
- Intended to protect against current COVID-19 variants as well as future coronavirus pandemics
TORREY PINES, Calif., Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- EpicentRx Inc. ("EpicentRx"), a late-stage biopharmaceutical company developing platforms that treat and target multiple immune-mediated disorders, has published a commentary in one of the top infectious disease journals, International Journal of Infectious Disease (IJID), emphasizing the importance of a "universal" coronavirus vaccine based on the nucleocapsid or N protein instead of the spike or S protein, which is used in current COVID vaccines. The commentary is authored by Bryan Oronsky, Chris Larson, Scott Caroen, Farah Hedjran, Ana Sanchez, and Tony Reid, all of EpicentRx. (click on link to read: IJID nucleocapsid commentary).
The authors point to the N-protein, as an internal RNA-binding protein, as being more essential to viral survival than the S protein, and much more stable and less likely to mutate. Based on this fact, the authors contend that an N-based vaccine would be useful not only against the new COVID-19 variants that continue to appear with regularity but also possibly against all coronaviruses, present or future, since nucleocapsid is a highly conserved or shared coronavirus protein with the potential to establish broad protective immunity.
According to viral immunologist and EpicentRx CEO, Dr. Tony R. Reid, "We've already faced three coronavirus pandemics, starting with SARS CoV-1, then MERS, and now SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19. There have been reports of potential future pandemics due to new variants, which means we need to be ready for the ever-present possibility of ongoing mutation of the virus, especially within the spike protein, as the virus circulates in the population, or the potential for future transmission from animals to humans. If you look at the first SARS-CoV-1 patients, even now they still have T-cells, which recognize the SARS N-protein, and this potentially immunizes them against other coronaviruses. That's why we made a nucleocapsid targeting vaccine."
This vaccine was developed from EpicentRx's adenovirus vaccine platform called AdAPT. The adenovirus, an agent of the common cold, has been modified to carry different genes, which in the case of the EpicentRx vaccine, is nucleocapsid. When the vaccine is injected, it makes many copies of itself, and the nucleocapsid gene that it carries, in the capacity of a "biologic factory" for high level production of nucleocapsid inside the body. The first AdAPT clinical candidate and immediate predecessor of this vaccine is called AdAPT-001, currently in a Phase 1 trial for the treatment of cancer (BETA PRIME; ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04673942). AdAPT-001 carries a gene that traps or neutralizes a protein called transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta), which helps tumors to grow.
The EpicentRx vaccine was made "in house" at its own Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) Production Facility, which is a departure from the usual pharmaceutical model of outsourcing contract manufacturing to third party companies. Based on its experience with AdAPT-001, EpicentRx moved rapidly on design and manufacture of the vaccine for a Phase 1 clinical trial. As Dr. Reid explained, "This is the time for chess, not checkers. If we don't plan ahead, we'll be chasing this virus from behind".

MADRID (AP) — Spain’s leading scientific research body was targeted by a cyberattack that national authorities suspect had its origin in Russia, the country’s science ministry said Tuesday.
Spain’s science ministry said the Spanish National Research Council was targeted by the ransomware attack on July 16-17.
A preliminary analysis by Spain’s cybersecurity authorities said that it appears that no sensitive or confidential information was extracted.
In a statement, the ministry said that the cyberattack was similar to others carried out against NASA in the United States and the Max Planck Institute in Germany.
Even though it appears the attack failed, the security protocols activated to ensure that it was unsuccessful have left several of the council’s research centers off-line. | https://www.kxan.com/technology/ap-technology/spanish-research-center-suffers-cyberattack-linked-to-russia/ | 2022-08-03T13:41:52Z | https://www.kxan.com/technology/ap-technology/spanish-research-center-suffers-cyberattack-linked-to-russia/ | false | null |
The Guardians certainly didn’t make many waves ahead of Tuesday’s trade deadline. There was one move, but it was more of a ripple from a pebble while the team relies on its youth and internal options to contend for a playoff spot in 2022.
Franmil Reyes optioned to Triple-A: Franmil Reyes expected to be optioned to triple-A; Amed Rosario continues hot stretch
The Guardians’ lone move was to deal catcher Sandy Leon to the Minnesota Twins in exchange for right-handed pitcher Ian Hamilton.
Hamilton, 27, has a career 4.91 ERA in the majors and has a 1.88 ERA at the Triple-A level this season. He has been assigned to Triple-A Columbus.
The trade was largely to accommodate Leon, who in the Twins found an opportunity elsewhere. The Guardians had told Leon they’d support his moving on if such an opportunity developed.
“At the time we outrighted Sandy Leon from the roster, we had an agreement with him that if there was an immediate major league opportunity for him, we wouldn’t stand in his way, similar to the agreement we’ve had with other players in similar situations,” Guardians President of Operations Chris Antonetti . “Earlier today the Twins called and expressed an interest in a major league opportunity for Sandy, so we worked with them to accommodate that and in return we were able to get a pitcher that can provide us some depth.”

Cristiano Ronaldo disappointed by the clubs that snub him
Cristiano Ronaldo and his agent, Jorge Mendes, are currently disappointed with the lack of suitors for the 37-year-old.
Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly made his desire to leave Old Trafford known to the club’s hierarchy and continues to fight in his quest for the Champions League next season.
Reports in Europe suggest there are currently no suitors for the footballing icon.
Transfer specialist Alex Crook told talkSPORT: “The latest news is that clubs are not lining up to sign Ronaldo like he and Jorge Mendes expected.
“I believe the version that comes out of his camp, I don’t think it’s about the money, I think he wants to play in the Champions League.
“I think he wants to play in the Champions League. Selfishly, I don’t think he can stand Messi playing in the Champions League and playing in the Europa League.
“But, for the moment, he has no escape. I was told that a loan to Sporting Lisbon was a possibility, but it didn’t materialise.
“Apart from that, clubs like PSG, Bayern Munich, Chelsea – which he thought were interested – are not coming forward. »

Nearly 8,000 digital wallets have been drained of just over $5.2 million in digital coins including solana’s sol token and USD Coin (USDC), according to blockchain analytics firm Elliptic. The Twitter account Solana Status confirmed the attack, noting that as of Wednesday morning, approximately 7,767 wallets have been affected by the exploit. Elliptic’s estimate is slightly higher at 7,936 wallets.
Solana’s sol token, one of the largest cryptocurrencies after bitcoin and ether, fell about 8% in the first two hours after the hack was initially detected, according to data from CoinMarketCap. It’s currently down about 1%, while trading volume is up about 105% in the last 24 hours.
Starting Tuesday evening, multiple users began reporting that assets held in “hot” wallets — that is, internet-connected addresses, including Phantom, Slope and Trust Wallet — had been emptied of funds.
Phantom said on Twitter that it’s investigating the “reported vulnerability in the solana ecosystem” and doesn’t believe it’s a Phantom-specific issue. Blockchain audit firm OtterSec tweeted that the hack has affected multiple wallets “across a wide variety of platforms.”
Elliptic chief scientist Tom Robinson told CNBC the root cause of the breach is still unclear, but “it appears to be due to a flaw in certain wallet software, rather than in the solana blockchain itself.” OtterSec added that the transactions were being signed by the actual owners, “suggesting some sort of private key compromise.” A private key is a secure code that grants the owner access to their crypto holdings.
The identity of the attacker is still unknown, as is the root cause of the exploit. The breach is ongoing.
“Engineers from multiple ecosystems, with the help of several security firms, are investigating drained wallets on solana,” according to Solana Status, a Twitter account that shares updates for the entire solana network.
The solana network is strongly encouraging users to use hardware wallets, since there’s no evidence those have been impacted.
“Do not reuse your seed phrase on a hardware wallet — create a new seed phrase. Wallets drained should be treated as compromised, and abandoned,” reads one tweet. Seed phrases are a collection of random words generated by a crypto wallet when it is first set up, and it grants access to the wallet.
A private key is unique and links a user to their blockchain address. A seed phrase is a fingerprint of all of a user’s blockchain assets that is used as a backup if a crypto wallet is lost.
The incident comes one day after the $200 million hack of the Nomad blockchain bridge. It’s the latest crisis to grip the crypto market in recent weeks.
“Four addresses are currently linked to the hacker, a far cry from yesterday’s ‘decentralized looting,’ which involved over 120 individual users,” said Deutscher. “This implies that it was a singular party who conducted the SOL exploit, although the specific details remain ambiguous.”
The Solana network was viewed as one of the most promising newcomers in the crypto market, with backers like Chamath Palihapitiya and Andreessen Horowitz touting it as a challenger to ethereum with faster transaction processing times and enhanced security. But it’s been faced with a spate of issues lately, including downtime in periods of activity and a perception of being more centralized than ethereum. A major outage in June knocked the Solana platform offline for several hours.
Ether, the native token of the ethereum blockchain, climbed 6% in 24 hours. | https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/crypto/solana-attack-targets-thousands-crypto-wallets-costing-users-5-million-rcna41302 | 2022-08-03T14:05:43Z | https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/crypto/solana-attack-targets-thousands-crypto-wallets-costing-users-5-million-rcna41302 | false | 3 |

Washington (AP) — The number of people living in America without health insurance coverage hit an all-time low of 8 percent this year, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced Tuesday.
“Every American has the right to the peace of mind that comes with access to affordable, quality health care,” President Joe Biden said in a statement Tuesday about the record-low rate of uninsured Americans.
The findings come days after Democrats hammered out a 725-page climate, health care and tax deal that would extend generous federal subsidies for people who buy private health insurance that are credited with driving down the uninsured rates. Democrats have proposed spending $64 billion to extend those price breaks for three more years.
The drop in uninsured Americans began last year, when Congress and Biden signed off on a $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill that lowered premiums and out-of-pocket costs for new or returning customers purchasing plans through the Affordable Care Act’s private health insurance markets.
The uninsured rate fell to just under 9 percent last year with the improved subsidies. The Biden administration also began to step up advertising and increased the number of counselors who helped sign up people for plans during the open enrollment season last year.
Prior to last year, the uninsured rate had consistently remained in the double digits for decades. The number of uninsured Americans began dropping after the ACA, which expanded Medicaid and offers health insurance to people who lack job-based coverage through a mix of subsidized private plans, was enacted in 2010.
Roughly 26 million people remain without health insurance in the U.S. Just under 2 percent of children are now uninsured.
“We know that access to quality, affordable health care is key to healthier lives, economic security, and peace of mind,” HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra said in a statement Tuesday. | https://www.everythinglubbock.com/news/business/number-of-uninsured-americans-drops-to-record-low/ | 2022-08-03T14:06:34Z | https://www.everythinglubbock.com/news/business/number-of-uninsured-americans-drops-to-record-low/ | true | 36 |

NBA 2K23 gameplay changes have been revealed - improved accessibility, new techniques, and better AI
And so, so much more.NBA 2K23 is nearly with us, releasing September 9 this year. In the build up to launch, we’ve learnt a lot about the gameplay changes coming to the hugely popular basketball game. This includes improvements to shooting, dribbling, and blocking with new gesture combos, AI improvements, accessibility features and more.
We’ve broken down each major change coming with the latest release from 2K, so if you want to hit the court running, check out each major gameplay change coming to NBA 2K23 below!
First, there’s the pro stick and a vast selection of new gesture combos coming to it. Players have been able to flick or hold the stick to do more complex shots since 2K21, but with this entry, a new selection of options are coming for dexterous players. Speaking of shots, skill dunks were a tad too strong last year, so that’s been touched up to be more complex. This includes a physics-based rim hanging system.
There are also five new shot metres with NBA 2K23, with 15 more being unlockable throughout the seasons. Players who enjoyed a particular shot metre in previous titles, or who just want to mix things up a bit, will have plenty to choose from for the sake of variety and customization. On top of this, new shooting attributes give each signature jump shot its own unique shooting stats that help determine its effectiveness. Shot speed, relative height, defensive immunity and timing have all been applied to shots on net.
In addition, a nerf is coming to shot blocks which were very powerful last year. This was apparently intentionally to make defence as strong as offence, but with NBA 2K23, this has been dialled back in the name of realism and balance. On the other side of the coin, ball strips are stronger, meaning your smaller players can flip the game on its head in a well-timed aggressive play.
In addition, there are new scoop layups and contact layups in the game, which should go a long way in making strong players on your roster feel strong as they weave around players on the other team.
There has also been a sweep of AI improvements coming to NBA 2K23, meaning computer-controlled teams will be able to better adapt and respond to your players for a more exciting offline experience. If you’ve always struggled with the NBA titles, a new rookie difficulty is being added, as well as a semi-pro difficulty meant to bridge the gap between easier options and pro.
The final major change coming with NBA 2K23 are revamped badges and team takeovers. There are 16 badges for each of the four attributes, and while in the past players would just pick the strongest options, they will now have to think about their options and pick wisely. When it comes to takeover metre, in the past it would fill up with three overall team bars. Now, it’s a cooperative team system, with each player contributing to a takeover “bucket”. When all players are filled up, takeover will trigger.
That wraps up all the major changes coming to NBA 2K23! What are your thoughts on these changes? Let us know below if they’ve got you excited or disappointed! | https://www.vg247.com/nba-2k23-gameplay-changes-ai-accessible-shots | 2022-08-03T14:14:11Z | https://www.vg247.com/nba-2k23-gameplay-changes-ai-accessible-shots | false | 1 |

BMW has become the first big carmaker to signal that a global economic slowdown will probably lead to a drop in sales of luxury models before the year is out, as consumers face inflation and higher interest rates.
The Munich-based group’s shares fell 6 per cent to €76.61 by late morning as worries about the wider economy outweighed the posting of earnings that beat market expectations in the last quarter.
BMW reported earnings before interest and tax of €3.4bn in the three months to end of June, a 32 per cent drop on the same period last year, when orders rebounded sharply after pandemic lockdowns, but higher than the figure most analysts had predicted.
However, the premium brand warned that “ongoing inflation and interest rate hikes will continue to shape the macroeconomic environment in the coming months and impact demand”.
It added that an “above-average order book — particularly in Europe — is expected to normalise towards the end of the year”.
The warning contrasts with recent comments by BMW rival Mercedes, which last week raised its earnings forecast for the year, saying it continued “to see healthy and high quality demand for its products for the second half of the year, in all core markets”.
The Stuttgart-based group added that “demand is seen remaining higher than supply” for the rest of 2022.
“BMW is the first [manufacturer] to signal caution on the demand front,” said Daniel Röska, an analyst at Bernstein.
“The important message is the timing: investors have mainly been expecting growing weakness in 2023,” he added.
“Given the length of current order books, a warning for year-end ‘22 likely implies that BMW is already seeing weakening consumer sentiment today — likely led by flagging European demand.”
Roughly 70 per cent of BMW’s sales are made in Europe and China, with the Americas accounting for a further 18 per cent.
BMW said its free cash flow target for the year was at least €10 billion, a drop of €2 billion on previous guidance, partly owing to lower demand.
Finance chief Nicolas Peter said the outlook “assumes that political and economic conditions will not deteriorate significantly” and “does not include any significant tightening of sanctions against Russia or countermeasures by Russia, including an interruption in gas deliveries”.
BMW boss Oliver Zipse said: “New orders received are somewhat reduced. [But] at the same time, [BMW] has an order backlog, especially when it comes to e-vehicles, which is at an all-time high.” — Copyright The Financial Times Limited 2022 | https://www.irishtimes.com/business/2022/08/03/bmw-warns-of-sales-slowdown-this-year/ | 2022-08-03T14:14:55Z | https://www.irishtimes.com/business/2022/08/03/bmw-warns-of-sales-slowdown-this-year/ | true | 1 |

Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray on Wednesday met with the party spokespersons here and discussed the current political crisis in the party.
Talking to reporters after the meeting, Sena spokesperson Arvind Sawant said Thackeray asked them to respond to the attacks on the party but at the same time maintain the decency of language.
Spokesperson Sachin Ahir said Thackeray guided them on how to perform their roles effectively.
Another spokesperson of Shiv Sena said the recent split in the party led Thackeray to carry out major changes in the organisation and new spokespersons were inducted into the panel of spokespersons.

During the meeting, the current crisis in the Shiv Sena was also discussed, the spokesperson added.
The Sena witnessed its worst rebellion in June when 40 of 55 MLA aligned with senior Sena leader Eknath Shinde, leading to the collapse of the Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MA) government.
Shinde took oath as the chief minister on June 30 with Bharatiya Janata Party's Devendra Fadnavis who was sworn in as the deputy chief minister.

Shanshan Feng never wanted to play more than 10 years of professional golf. She went longer than planned, and the only regret for China’s happy-go-lucky major champion is the COVID-19 pandemic kept her from a proper farewell.
Feng, 32, announced her retirement Tuesday with an Instagram post in which she said golf gave her far more than she was able to give back.
“Now it is time for me to try something different,” she said.
Feng achieved plenty, beyond becoming China’s first major champion in 2012 at the LPGA Championship. She won a bronze medal in golf’s return to the Olympics in 2016 in Rio de Janeiro. She won 22 times on the LPGA Tour, Ladies European Tour and the Japan LPGA.
She also reached No. 1 in the world, a ranking she held for 23 weeks from November 2017 through April 2018.
“I consider myself extremely lucky to see the Chinese flag raising on the international stage,” she wrote in thanking all the support she had along the way.
Feng went some 18 months without competing. She finished third in the China Open in late 2019, then sat out all of 2020 during the pandemic. She returned in early April 2021 for the first LPGA major of the year and tied for third.
Her final victory was the Thornberry Creek LPGA Classic in July 2019. Her final tournament was the Olympics outside Tokyo last summer, which had no spectators after a one-year postponement caused by the pandemic. Feng finished eighth.
“Due to the pandemic, I have never made an official farewell to people who support me on the golf course,” she wrote. She said she hopes to see her LPGA friends again in the future for what she described as “my last dance.”
In the meantime, Feng wants to slow down, focus on personal growth and give back by helping to develop more golf talent out of China.
“I have a dream that one day in future professional golf, we see more of us Chinese players,” she said. “The players and the resources together can help this sport tremendously grow, and create some future Chinese champions along the way.”
PRESIDENTS CUP ASSISTANTS
Webb Simpson will be on his home course of Quail Hollow in September for the Presidents Cup but without clubs. Simpson and Steve Stricker have been added as assistant captains for Davis Love III.
They will be joining Ryder Cup captain Zach Johnson and Fred Couples as assistants for the Sept. 22-25 matches against the International team.
Stricker was the Presidents Cup captain in 2017 and joined Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer as the only captains to win a Ryder Cup and a Presidents Cup. He led the U.S. to a record victory over Europe last year at Whistling Straits. Johnson is the Ryder Cup captain for the 2023 matches in Italy, while Couples was 3-0 as a Presidents Cup captain.
The newcomer is Simpson, who played on three Presidents Cup teams, most recently at Royal Melbourne in 2019. He also played in three Ryder Cup matches.
SAY ONE THING, DO ANOTHER
Patrick Reed said one of the great appeals of LIV Golf was a smaller schedule.
“Just the quality of life for us as players now, having less events, being able to spend more time at home with the family … and not sitting there and having to play three, four weeks in a row, then have a week off, and during that week off you’re preparing trying to get ready for the next week,” Reed said a month ago at LIV Golf’s Oregon event.
And then the Asian Tour announced Tuesday that Reed will be playing in the International Series-Singapore next week and the International Series-Korea the following week.
Throw in the LIV Golf Invitational events outside Boston and Chicago in September, and Reed will be playing four of the next six weeks.
It’s nothing new for Reed, who typically plays around 30 times a year. It just doesn’t square with him talking about having fewer events a LIV Golf schedule affords.
Of course, there is that matter of world ranking points, which Asian Tour events receive. Reed is close to falling out of the top 50. The Asian Tour events will have minimal ranking points but still more than what Reed is getting now.
ALL ABOARD
Joohyung Kim was such a fan of Thomas the Tank Engine in the TV series “Thomas & Friends” that he goes by “Tom.” And after a year like this, the 20-year-old South Korean has been chugging his way to a PGA Tour card.
Kim was No. 131 in the world at the start of the year. He won the Singapore International, was runner-up at the Singapore Open and was seated on stage with Greg Norman at the Saudi International when Norman was preaching the virtues of Saudi-backed LIV Golf and its investment in the Asian Tour.
Kim said his eyes were on a bigger prize.
“Every day I’ve played golf, I thought about playing on the PGA Tour. It was nothing else,” he said Sunday after he tied the Detroit Golf Club record with a 63 to finish seventh. Along with making the cut in the U.S. Open and British Open, he really piled up points with a third-place finish in the Scottish Open, co-sanctioned this year by the PGA Tour.
It all adds to enough points to assure he will have a full card for next season. Kim has risen to No. 34 in the world and is playing the Wyndham Championship. Much like the situation Will Zalatoris was in two years ago, he won’t be able to play in the PGA Tour postseason unless he wins this week.
“It could get a little emotional tonight, but it’s definitely been a dream,” he said. “It’s been a road. And hopefully, I’ll be out here full time.”
DONALD’S TRAITS
Luke Donald played his first Ryder Cup under European captain Bernhard Langer and served as an assistant to Padraig Harrington last year. In between, he also played for Ian Woosnam, Colin Montgomerie and Jose Maria Olazabal, and he was an assistant to Thomas Bjorn.
That’s quiet a variety of personalities from which to learn. Donald, appointed Ryder Cup captain on Monday, was asked which captain his personality would most likely resemble.
“I supposed somewhere between a Langer and an Olazabal,” he said. “I think I’m a detail-oriented person. I like to figure things out in my head without blurting them out. Jose was certainly more of a quiet leader, and I think that will be kind of my stance. That’s my characteristics.
“Between those two, I’m guessing I’ll be on the phone to both of them and getting some ideas for my captaincy.”
DIVOTS
Tiger Woods is hosting a junior event on the Monterey Peninsula in October. TGR Live, Pebble Beach Co. and TaylorMade are collaborating on the TGR JR Invitational on Oct. 8-10 for 60 juniors, male and female. They will qualify on The Hay at Pebble Beach, the short course Woods designed. The championship matches will be at The Links at Spanish Bay. … Jason Day closed with a 66 in the Rocket Mortgage Classic to tie for 17th and move to No. 106 and assure his 15th consecutive appearance in the FedEx Cup playoffs. Day also earned $128,100 to become the 11th player to surpass $50 million in career earnings. … Top-seeded Steven Alker is among five players from the top 10 in the Charles Schwab Cup standings who are not playing the PGA Tour Champions event in Canada this week.
STAT OF THE WEEK
Tony Finau won one tournament in his first 154 starts on the PGA Tour. He now has won three of his last 25.
FINAL WORD
“They say a winner is just a loser that just kept on trying, and that’s me to a T. How many times do I lose? But one thing I won’t do is give up.” — Tony Finau.

There is a growing recognition of the importance of equity, diversity and inclusion in society and its institutions. The most progressive, leading-edge organizations consider the diversity of people to be essential to the success, growth, innovation and development of a society.
The benefits of diversity, however, are far from exclusive to human organizations; heterogeneity and variability are design principles central to all complex natural systems, whether they are ecological, cellular or genetic networks.
Whether we are talking about an ecosystem, society or the brain, how does this diversity relate to the functioning and stability of a complex system?
As neuroscientists, our interdisciplinary research and clinical work has drawn us to the incredible complexity and richness of the human brain and natural systems. We seek not only to better understand how the brain’s circuitry works, but also to develop new treatments for neurological diseases such as epilepsy.
Diversity means resilience
First developed by Darwin, the idea that diversity leads to stability and survival has been debated by scientists from many disciplines for over a century. The ability of natural systems to resist change is a characteristic known as resilience. This fundamental characteristic emerges from interactions between members of the same system — such as species in an ecosystem, individuals in a group or cells in an organism — and enables it to maintain its functions over time.
Resilience is tested by change. Some ecosystems can adapt to the extinction of specific species or to drought. Some virtual communities or social networks can withstand cyberattacks. Some organizations can continue to operate in the wake of conflict, war, political revolution or … pandemic.
In light of these common examples — and many others related to the social or natural sciences — it is now more important than ever to understand the role played by diversity in maintaining the resilience of complex systems.
What if clues to the answer lie in the circuits of the brain, specifically in a brain with epilepsy?
Tipping over in an electrical storm
For several years, our interdisciplinary team has been studying epilepsy, the most common severe neurological disorder. Epilepsy is characterized primarily by the apparently spontaneous and recurrent occurrence of seizures, often triggered by stress or visual stimuli (such as flashing lights or specific images). Recent research has also shown that the frequency of these seizures can vary with the time of day or month, depending on the individual’s sleep-wake cycle, for example.
In this light, a brain with epilepsy can be seen as fragile and not resilient, regularly tipping into an electrical storm. Thus, rather than adapting normally to changes, neurons become disproportionately active and synchronous, and the resulting intense electrical activity spreads, disrupting brain function.
Because of the significant impact of these seizures on patients and their families, our team has been relentlessly studying the circuits responsible for triggering them and exploring ways to prevent them.
What does diversity have to do with epilepsy? Our team recently measured the activity of neurons in people with epilepsy. We found that neurons in the brain regions responsible for triggering seizures were much less diverse than those in regions not responsible for seizures. These neurons were strangely similar to each other, showing highly similar characteristics and responses.
Could this lack of diversity explain why seizure-prone brains are less resilient?
Mathematical models to the rescue
To answer this complex question, we turned to mathematics. What if, through mathematical models of brain circuitry, we could understand how neural diversity (or the lack thereof) predicts seizure resilience? Could we determine whether neuronal diversity promotes resilience in the brain?
Using our equations, we found that when diversity was too low, seizure-like activity would spontaneously emerge: the activity of the neurons would become vulnerable to sudden change in synchrony, reminiscent of what we observe during seizures. These results are unequivocal: low diversity made these neuronal circuits fragile, poorly resilient and unable to maintain the type of activity required to preserve brain function.
What do these result mean? They provide key insights about the role played by different types of neurons in maintaining brain function.
These results are helping us look at neurological diseases such as epilepsy differently than we did before, potentially opening up new avenues on how to treat them. Our approach of using interdisciplinary methods and mathematics allows us to go further and understand better how diversity increases resilience, providing invaluable cues and answering hard questions such as: Is there an optimal level of diversity? What are the different types of diversities and do they all promote stability equally? Could we enhance resilience by promoting neuronal diversity through targeted therapeutic interventions?
Most importantly, our results also provide a powerful reminder of the primordial role diversity plays in the robustness of systems in the face of change: which holds true not only for neurons and circuits, but for humans and collectives as well. Variety truly is the spice of life. | https://theconversation.com/what-epilepsy-teaches-us-about-diversity-and-resilience-184724 | 2022-08-03T14:18:49Z | https://theconversation.com/what-epilepsy-teaches-us-about-diversity-and-resilience-184724 | false | 1 |

The investigation focuses on F45's statements leading up to and after the company July 2021 IPO.
Specifically, in connection with F45's IPO the company promoted the rapid scalability of its business model as helping to promote the success of its franchisees. In addition, as recently as May 16, 2022, F45 Training assured investors that it had secured a $250 million line of credit that it could extend to franchisees to secure its target of 1,000 new studio openings in 2022.
Doubts about F45's representations emerged on July 26, 2022, when F45 announced that: (1) 2022 net studio openings would be more than 50% less that promised (i.e. between 350 and 450 vs. 1,000); (2) the $250 million credit line "will not be available," (3) its CEO (Adam Gilchrist) left his position more than a month beforehand (on June 24, 2022); and, (4) it is firing approximately 110 employees.
This news sent the price of F45 shares crashing 61% lower on July 27, 2022.
"We're focused on investors' losses and whether F45 misled investors about the scalability of its model and whether there was actual $250 million in committed funding available for franchisees," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.

Guests seen petting bear will be kicked out of hotel, owner says
GATLINBURG, Tenn. (WVLT/Gray News) - On Sunday morning, eyewitnesses described the blood-boiling moments when two people were seen actually walking up to a bear and petting it.
This happened Sunday morning at the Quality Inn Creekside hotel in downtown Gatlinburg. Owner Raj Patel said he was made aware of the incident when he saw pictures of a woman extending her hand just inches away from a bear’s mouth.
Misty Chrismon captured those photos and said that the woman actually made contact with the bear, and the bear swiped at her moments after. It was only at that time that the woman left the bear alone.
“She was petting the nose and everything, and then she put her hand out pretending she had food for the bear,” said Chrismon.
It’s not an isolated incident, but admittedly, the most bizarre one that Patel said he’d seen. He didn’t kick out the woman seen in the pictures; Patel is still looking for her. Patel told WVLT that he had kicked out 10 or 15 people in the past, however.
“We typically every week see the same four or five bears,” said Patel, who added that bears are seen walking around the hotel every few hours of the day.
Bears at the hotel have been known to be able to open an elevator door by themselves and even make their way into trash cans that are supposedly bear-proof, according to Patel.
While the desire to interact with the bears nearby is something Patel sees from guests on a daily basis, he said there’s a right and wrong way to do it.
He’s advising that you keep a safe distance from the wildlife if you encounter a bear and not to go near it. If a person does not follow these rules can lead to you being kicked out of the hotel.
“It’s not safe for the bears or the people,” said Patel. He added that he’s actively working to learn who the woman who pet the bear is so he can kick her out.
Gatlinburg Police is called every time there’s a gathering of people looking at a bear on site, according to Patel. He said there have not been any bear attacks to his knowledge since he came to the hotel in 2016. The hope is that consistently reminding guests to not engage with a bear, as well as having signage that reflects the same messaging, will help keep everyone safe.

Biden hails killing of al-Qaeda head al-Zawahiri: ‘Justice has been delivered’
US president vows: ‘If you are a threat to our people, we will take you out’; says operation hopefully provides some closure for families of 9/11 victims
WASHINGTON (AP) — US President Joe Biden announced Monday that al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri was killed in a US drone strike in Kabul, an operation he hailed as delivering “justice” while expressing hope that it brings “one more measure of closure” to families of the victims of the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States.
The president said in an evening address from the White House that US intelligence officials tracked al-Zawahiri to a home in downtown Kabul where he was hiding out with his family. The president approved the operation last week and it was carried out Sunday.
Al-Zawahiri and the better known Osama bin Laden plotted the 9/11 attacks that brought many ordinary Americans their first knowledge of al-Qaeda. Bin Laden was killed in Pakistan on May 2, 2011, in an operation carried out by US Navy Seals after a nearly decade-long hunt.
“He will never again, never again, allow Afghanistan to become a terrorist safe haven because he is gone and we’re going to make sure that nothing else happens,” Biden said.
“Justice has been delivered,” he added. “This terrorist leader is no more.”
Israel’s Prime Minister Yair Lapid tweeted congratulations to Biden, stating, “Terrorist groups and their sponsors must know: You’re living on borrowed time. The forces of freedom will bring you to justice.”
The world is a safer place today.
I congratulate @POTUS and all who took part in the successful American operation targeting Ayman al-Zawahiri.
Terrorist groups and their sponsors must know: You’re living on borrowed time. The forces of freedom will bring you to justice.
— יאיר לפיד – Yair Lapid (@yairlapid) August 2, 2022
The operation is a significant counterterrorism win for the Biden administration just 11 months after American troops left the country after a two-decade war.

The strike was carried out by the Central Intelligence Agency, according to five people familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity. Neither Biden nor the White House detailed the CIA’s involvement in the strike.
Biden, however, paid tribute to the US intelligence community in his remarks, noting that “thanks to their extraordinary persistence and skill” the operation was a “success.”
Al-Zawahiri’s loss eliminates the figure who more than anyone shaped al-Qaeda, first as bin Laden’s deputy since 1998, then as his successor. Together, he and bin Laden turned the jihadi movement’s guns to target the United States, carrying out the deadliest attack ever on American soil — the Sept. 11 suicide hijackings.
The house al-Zawahiri was in when he was killed was owned by a top aide to senior Taliban leader Sirajuddin Haqqani, according to a senior intelligence official. The official also added that a CIA ground team and aerial reconnaissance conducted after the drone strike confirmed al-Zawahiri’s death.
A senior administration official who briefed reporters on the operation on condition of anonymity said “zero” US personnel were in Kabul.
Over the 20-year war in Afghanistan, the US targeted and splintered al-Qaeda, sending leaders into hiding. But America’s exit from Afghanistan last September gave the extremist group the opportunity to rebuild. US military officials, including Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, have said al-Qaeda was trying to reconstitute in Afghanistan, where it faced limited threats from the now-ruling Taliban. Military leaders have warned that the group still aspired to attack the US.
The 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon made bin Laden America’s Enemy No. 1. But he likely could never have carried it out without his deputy. Bin Laden provided al-Qaeda with charisma and money, but al-Zawahiri brought tactics and organizational skills needed to forge militants into a network of cells in countries around the world.
US intelligence officials have been aware for years of a network helping al-Zawahiri dodge US intelligence officials hunting for him, but didn’t have a bead on his possible location until recent months.
Earlier this year, US officials learned that the terror leader’s wife, daughter and her children had relocated to a safe house in Kabul, according to the senior administration official who briefed reporters.
Officials eventually learned al-Zawahiri was also at the Kabul safe house.
In early April, White House deputy national security adviser Jon Finer and Biden’s homeland security adviser Elizabeth D. Sherwood-Randall were briefed on this developing intelligence. Soon the intelligence was carried up to national security adviser Jake Sullivan.
Sullivan brought the information to Biden as US intelligence officials built “a pattern of life through multiple independent sources of information to inform the operation,” the official said.
Senior Taliban figures were aware of al-Zawahiri’s presence in Kabul, according to the official, who added the Taliban government was given no forewarning of the operation.
Inside the Biden administration, only a small group of officials at key agencies, as well as Vice President Kamala Harris, were brought into the process.
On July 1, Biden was briefed in the Situation Room about the planned operation, a briefing in which the president closely examined a model of the home al-Zawahiri was hiding out in. He gave his final approval for the operation on Thursday. Al-Zawahiri was standing on the balcony of his hideout when the strike was carried out.
“We make it clear again tonight: That no matter how long it takes, no matter where you hide, if you are a threat to our people, the United States will find you and take you out,” Biden said.
Al-Zawahiri was hardly a household name like bin Laden, but he played an enormous role in the terror group’s operations.
The two terror leaders’ bond was forged in the late 1980s, when al-Zawahiri reportedly treated the Saudi millionaire bin Laden in the caves of Afghanistan as Soviet bombardment shook the mountains around them.
The United States continues to demonstrate our resolve and our capacity to defend the American people against those who seek to do us harm.
Tonight we made clear:
No matter how long it takes.
No matter where you try to hide.
We will find you.— President Biden (@POTUS) August 2, 2022
Zawahiri, on the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorist list, had a $25 million bounty on his head for any information that could be used to kill or capture him.
Al-Zawahiri and bin Laden plotted the 9/11 attacks that brought many ordinary Americans their first knowledge of al-Qaeda.
Photos from the time often showed the glasses-wearing, mild-looking Egyptian doctor sitting by the side of bin Laden. Al-Zawahiri had merged his group of Egyptian militants with bin Laden’s al-Qaeda in the 1990s.
“The strong contingent of Egyptians applied organizational know-how, financial expertise, and military experience to wage a violent jihad against leaders whom the fighters considered to be un-Islamic and their patrons, especially the United States,” Steven A. Cook wrote for the Council on Foreign Relations last year.
When the 2001 US invasion of Afghanistan demolished al-Qaeda’s safe haven and scattered, killed and captured its members, al-Zawahiri ensured al-Qaeda’s survival. He rebuilt its leadership in the Afghan-Pakistan border region and installed allies as lieutenants in key positions.
He also reshaped the organization from a centralized planner of terror attacks into the head of a franchise chain. He led the assembling of a network of autonomous branches around the region, including in Iraq, Saudi Arabia, North Africa, Somalia, Yemen and Asia. Over the next decade, al-Qaeda inspired or had a direct hand in attacks in all those areas as well as Europe, Pakistan and Turkey, including the 2004 train bombings in Madrid and the 2005 transit bombings in London.

More recently, the al-Qaeda affiliate in Yemen proved itself capable of plotting attacks against US soil with an attempted 2009 bombing of an American passenger jet and an attempted package bomb the following year.
But even before bin Laden’s death, al-Zawahiri was struggling to maintain al-Qaeda’s relevance in a changing Middle East.
He tried with little success to coopt the wave of uprisings that spread across the Arab world starting in 2011, urging Islamic hard-liners to take over in the nations where leaders had fallen. But while Islamists gained prominence in many places, they have stark ideological differences with al-Qaeda and reject its agenda and leadership.
Nevertheless, al-Zawahiri tried to pose as the Arab Spring’s leader. America “is facing an Islamic nation that is in revolt, having risen from its lethargy to a renaissance of jihad,” he said in a video eulogy to bin Laden, wearing a white robe and turban with an assault rifle leaning on a wall behind him.
Al-Zawahiri was also a more divisive figure than his predecessor. Many militants described the soft-spoken bin Laden in adoring and almost spiritual terms.
In contrast, al-Zawahiri was notoriously prickly and pedantic. He picked ideological fights with critics within the jihadi camp, wagging his finger scoldingly in his videos. Even some key figures in al-Qaeda’s central leadership were put off, calling him overly controlling, secretive and divisive.
This is reportedly an image from the scene of the strike, in #Kabul's Sherpur neighborhood.

— Charles Lister (@Charles_Lister) August 1, 2022
Some militants whose association with bin Laden predated al-Zawahiri’s always saw him as an arrogant intruder.
“I have never taken orders from al-Zawahiri,” Fazul Abdullah Mohammed, one of the network’s top figures in East Africa until his 2011 death, sneered in a memoir posted on line in 2009. “We don’t take orders from anyone but our historical leadership.”
There have been rumors of al-Zawahiri’s death on and off for several years. But a video surfaced in April of the al-Qaeda leader praising a Indian Muslim woman who had defied a ban on wearing a hijab, or headscarf. That footage was the first proof in months that he was still alive.
A statement from Afghanistan’s Taliban government confirmed the airstrike, but did not mention al-Zawahiri or any other casualties.
It said it “strongly condemns this attack and calls it a clear violation of international principles and the Doha Agreement,” the 2020 US pact with the Taliban that led to the withdrawal of American forces.
“Such actions are a repetition of the failed experiences of the past 20 years and are against the interests of the United States of America, Afghanistan, and the region,” the statement said.

Commonwealth Games, Australia Women beat Pakistan Women: Key stats
The Australian women's cricket team beat Pakistan Women in a crucial Group A match at the 2022 Commonwealth Games on Wednesday in Birmingham. Beth Mooney and Tahila McGrath hammered unbeaten fifties to help the Aussie side post a challenging 160/2 in 20 overs. In response, Pakistan Women (116/8) faltered in the run-chase to surrender the tie. Here are the details.
AUSW lost Alyssa Healy and skipper Meg Lanning cheaply to be reeling at 19/2 in the sixth over. Thereafter, Mooney and McGrath joined hands and forged a mammoth partnership. Notably, the two helped AUSW score 58 runs in the last four overs. Sadia Iqbal (1/28) was the pick of the bowlers for PAKW. Australia the controlled the show with the ball to hurt Pakistan.
Beth Mooney struck a 49-ball 70 for Australia Women. The Aussie opener slammed eight fours and a six (SR 142.86). Mooney has raced to 1,796 runs at 37.41. This was her 12th T20I fifty. Mooney also surpassed New Zealand Women cricketer Amy Ella Satterthwaite in terms of T20I runs (1,784).
McGrath showcased her strengths once again. The middle-order batter hit a 51-ball 78*. Her knock was laced with 10 fours and a six. She has raced to 339 runs in T20Is at a phenomenal average of 169.50. She slammed her 3rd T20I fifty.
The 141*-run stand between Mooney and McGrath is the fourth-highest for AUSW. This is also their highest third-wicket stand in T20Is. This is now Australia's highest stand versus PAKW for any wicket in T20Is.
McGrath (3/13) was instrumental with the ball for AUSW. She claimed three wickets from three overs, including a maiden to register her best figures in T20Is. She has raced to 10 T20I wickets at 11.00. Darcie Brown (1/23) has seven T20I scalps at 21.85. Alana King (1/10) now has 14 T20I scalps at just 9.14. Megan Schutt now has 103 T20I wickets.
Australia Women have maintained their 100% record in Group A, winning all three games. With this win, they have booked a berth in the semis. They could meet New Zealand Women or England Women. Meanwhile, Pakistan's dismal campaign ended with a third straight loss. | https://www.newsbytesapp.com/news/sports/2022-commonwealth-games-women-s-cricket-ausw-vs-pakw/story | 2022-08-03T14:27:50Z | https://www.newsbytesapp.com/news/sports/2022-commonwealth-games-women-s-cricket-ausw-vs-pakw/story | true | 1 |

Pro-Ject has launched a new record player as part of its True Balanced Connection range, the X2 B turntable. It features a moving coil cartridge and, unusually for domestic hi-fi kit, a balanced XLR output.
The X2 B joins a suite of products from Pro-Ject that are capable of forming completely balanced systems. Alongside standard phono RCA outputs, it sports a five-pin mini-XLR, which can also be found on the previously launched Pro-Ject X8 turntable and the S3 B and DS3 B phono boxes.
Available in four finishes: walnut wood veneer, black gloss paint and black or white satin paint, the X2 B is supported by a large, rectangular CNC-machined MDF chassis, sat upon three vibration-absorbing feet to reduce unwanted resonances.
Inside, it houses a DC/AC generator board, which combines with the speed control board for automatic switching between 33 and 45 RPM and additional 78 RPM support. The motor itself is balanced and suspended on a precision-tuned TPE belt to decouple it from the main plinth and drives a heavy, non-resonant Acryl platter via a sub-platter drive system.
An Ortofon Quintet Red moving coil cartridge comes pre-installed, while the nine-inch tonearm is made from a carbon-aluminium sandwich with an integrated headshell and a TPE-damped counterweight. Designed to be light and stiff, Pro-Ject says that it has improved resistance to external interference and can also be fine-tuned for azimuth and VTA settings.
We asked Pro-Ject about the decision to upgrade to balanced XLR outputs – standard in pro audio but less so in the domestic turntable world – when we had an advanced look at the X2-B and its sibling, the X1-B, at the High End Munich show earlier this year.
Pro-Ject says the connection does a better job than an RCA cable at removing the noise or "electrosmog" that wireless networks and electronic devices create. This noise can be easily picked up and amplified when using a standard phono cable where a single wire carries the audio signal. Whereas in a balanced connection, the signal travels down two cores, one of which is inverted, and, when recombined, cancels out unwanted interference for an improved signal-to-noise ratio.
The result? Pro-Ject describes the X2 B as "a musical turntable that delivers deep, detailed lows, crisp high frequencies and an engaging well-presented midrange."
The Pro-Ject X2 B turntable will be available in the UK this month priced at £1,399 (around $1705, AU$2460)

Long Island forecast: Rainy Friday morning commute likely
Long Island’s Friday morning commute could be affected by a further bout of heavy rain, which, given earlier precipitation, could also mean road flooding just as people are heading to work, forecasters say.
"A small but very wet weather system will move across LI tomorrow morning,” said Bill Korbel, News 12 Long Island meteorologist. “Rain is likely to be heavy enough to cause some street flooding and that would make for a very slow morning commute.”
A flash flood watch has been issued for Nassau County for Friday from 4 a.m. to noon. The Island is looking at a forecast, as of late Thursday afternoon, of an inch to an inch and a half of rain, but rainfall totals could be higher in some spots, the National Weather Service said.
The heaviest rainfall looked to coincide with that go-to-work time frame from about an hour or two before sunrise to and hour or two after, when there also could be a rumble of thunder, said Tim Morrin, weather service meteorologist in Upton.
With rainfall of an inch an hour possible, he said, there could be “rapid ponding on roadways,” enhanced by faster run-off in some locations from surrounding terrain that was drenched by Tuesday’s system.
There remained some uncertainty late Thursday as to where the heaviest rain bands will set up, the weather service said, though it won’t “take much additional rainfall to cause flooding in locations hard hit on Tuesday.”
Among the unofficial rainfall amounts from Tuesday were: 4.27 inches in Port Jefferson Station; 4 inches in the Hauppauge area; 3.53 inches in Commack; 3.22 inches in the Kings Park area; 1.95 inches in Plainview; 1.92 inches in the North Wantagh area; and 1.75 inches in Syosset. Long Island MacArthur Airport recorded 1.29 inches of rain Tuesday and another half-inch Wednesday, the weather service said.
Friday was also expected to see scattered showers in the afternoon, with temperatures warming up to the mid-60s.
The weekend, then, might be seen as a metaphorical rainbow, with Korbel describing it as being “sunny and mild, very pleasant.” Temperatures are expected to rise to the low 70s on Saturday and the upper 60s on Sunday, which marks the final day of September. | https://www.newsday.com/long-island/long-island-weather-friday-commute-o40502 | 2022-08-03T14:33:03Z | https://www.newsday.com/long-island/long-island-weather-friday-commute-o40502 | true | 1 |
- Project provides baseline greenhouse gas intensity measurement in support of Bonnefield’s commitment to promoting sustainable farming practices
TORONTO, Aug. 03, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bonnefield Financial Inc. (Bonnefield), a leading Canadian farmland investment management firm with over $1bn of Assets Under Management (AUM), has released its 2022 Sustainability Report outlining the firm’s ongoing activities in support of sustainable farming practices across its portfolio of Canadian farmland assets. Notable in this year’s report is the inclusion of a CO2 emissions measurement based on a comprehensive Greenhouse Gas (GHG) inventory completed earlier this year.
The analysis, which was conducted with a leading independent climate consultant, utilizes a combination of on-farm and industry data to arrive at a base year calculation for GHG emissions across Bonnefield’s investment portfolios.
According to Tom Eisenhauer, Bonnefield’s Founding Partner and CEO, “We have always believed that sustainable farming practices are critical to protecting and enhancing the long-term value of farmland. The creation of this GHG inventory is an additional lens through which we can assess our farmland assets.”
Andrea Gruza, Managing Partner at Bonnefield, adds “In addition to measuring GHG emissions on farm, we have also begun to review the carbon sequestration potential of our agricultural soils. This is an emerging area of study which we anticipate will see significant evolution over the next few years. I’m pleased at how well-positioned Bonnefield is to measure and track this going forward.”
Bonnefield’s 2022 Sustainability Report can be found on the firm’s website at www.bonnefield.com.

Rewarded Gamified Interstitials (RoGIs) deliver value to advertisers and uninterrupted gameplay for gamers
NEW YORK, Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Scuti, the industry pioneer in gCommerce, today announced a new, patent-pending ad unit for game makers. Rewarded Gamified Interstitials, or RoGIs, will be available to players and games across web2 and web3, allowing for a seamless gaming experience that offers players real-life rewards, uninterrupted gameplay, and targeted advertisements based on player-provided information.
The team that built Massive Inc. and pioneered in-game advertising almost 20 years ago has led the creation of Scuti's RoGIs with input and guidance from the executives behind some of the biggest games on the planet including Fortnite, HALO and World of Warcraft.
Today, gaming is a global community of 3.2 billion people, including 80% of Gen Z and millennials and 75% of all US households. Mobile games are a growing sector in the games industry and reach players with more than $5 trillion in buying power. Scuti's platform offers brands and game makers a new vehicle for building loyalty with this audience.
"For our global brand clients, Scuti stands out with its gCommerce platform," said Andrew Backs, CEO and Founder of Pilot44, a global digital innovation agency. "With the addition of RoGIs, brands can have further positive impact on game play. Players seek out rewards and accomplishments from their games and now brands can reward play with the payoff of access, engagement and sales."
RoGIs are brief shell games delivered to players between game levels. Players can elect to play with the ads or continue with their game – it's their choice. RoGIs gamify advertising, rewarding players with Scuti$tm for each ad interaction. Scuti$ can be redeemed for real products in the Scuti Marketplace, exchanged for in-game items and game currencies.
Scuti allows players to opt-in and provide basic personal information to ensure the RoGIs offer a bespoke set of brands and products most relevant to player interests. Scuti never uses information not explicitly provided by the player in curating RoGIs, aiming to create a transparent relationship between the platform, gamer, and brands. RoGis comply with recent guideline changes for Google Play apps and are also compliant with Apple's App Store regulations.
"We believe RoGIs are an important step for game makers, players, and brands across the board," said Nicholas Longano, CEO and Founder of Scuti. "As we enter a new era of engagement, brands must meet consumers where they are and how they want to be met – on their terms, and those terms require a fair value exchange. Gone are the days of ads disrupting and distracting from gameplay, using deceptive tactics to cull player interests for hyper-targeted advertising. Instead, gamified advertisements will reward players, brands, and game-makers alike.
Scuti is the pioneer in gCommerce and the world's first universal rewards marketplace, accessed through video games and metaverses connected to the Scuti Network. Scuti's marketplace provides players direct access to curated products, promotional offers, and exciting rewards, which can be redeemed for in-game virtual items, exchanged for native currency or to purchase any physical goods in the Scuti catalog. Scuti was built by video game industry veterans from Blizzard, Epic, Zynga and Microsoft Games Studio, and is a portfolio company of Fasanara Capital group investment house. Fasanara Capital is a boutique alternative asset manager, offering access to a range of inventive multi-asset capacity-constrained niche products. The fund manages approximately $3.0 billion in assets.

GCI expects scores to increase even more as it progresses toward 10 gig internet speeds
ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- For the seventh straight year, GCI has been named Alaska's fastest internet service provider (ISP) by PCMag.com. GCI raised the bar yet again, setting a record high PCMag Speed Index (PSI) score of 176.7.
GCI's PSI score places it well above national providers Cox, Sparklight and AT&T Internet, which scored 143.8, 142.6, and 134, respectively. GCI's PSI score is also nearly three times higher than low earth orbit satellite provider Starlink, which clocked in at 60.5.
According to PCMag.com, "[GCI] set a record high of 149.0 last year for a PSI and eclipsed it again this time with a 176.7. It even has plans to introduce 10-Gig in the coming years."
"We're pleased to be recognized as Alaska's fastest ISP for the seventh year running," said GCI Chief Communications Officer Heather Handyside. "With the launch of residential 2 gig internet speeds last year and the addition of even more communities to our fiber-optic footprint, it's great to see that third-party analysis confirms what we already know — GCI delivers Alaska's fastest internet on the state's most advanced network!"
GCI was the first ISP in Alaska, and among the first in the country, to make 2 gig internet speeds widely available. Currently, GCI provides access to residential 2 gig internet speeds to 80% of Alaskans and is on track to deliver 10 gig service.
"Not only are we offering the best internet experience in Alaska, but we are also offering packages that combine GCI's superior internet service with 5G mobile service to provide cost savings and value for Alaskans," said GCI Chief Marketing Officer Kate Slyker. "Our customers can now get 5G and home broadband together starting at $99 a month for both services — it's a phenomenal deal. We are committed to sharing Alaska's most advanced network for Alaskans at an unmatched value."
GCI continues to expand its fiber footprint in Alaska and expects to launch 2 gig service in six new communities through its AU-Aleutians Fiber Project. The project is scheduled to deliver urban-level speed, service and reliability for the first time to the communities of Unalaska and Akutan by the end of 2022, Sand Point and King Cove by the end of 2023, and Chignik Bay and Larsen Bay in late 2024. GCI is also exploring a potential project to extend its fiber to Bethel, Alaska, which would deliver urban-level internet to the western Alaska community.
GCI's investment in its network doesn't just mean faster internet speeds, it also lays the groundwork for improved wireless service for its customers.
"As our PCMag rating indicates, GCI's internet service is leaps and bounds ahead of the competition, but it's important to point out that we have the same intention for GCI's wireless network," said Handyside. "In fact, we've already achieved that in Anchorage, where our 5G network delivers mobile data speeds that are twice that of AT&T. Alaskans need fast connectivity everywhere, not just at home."
GCI launched Alaska's first 5G network in Anchorage in 2020 and is currently expanding its 5G footprint in the Matanuska Valley. GCI expects to invest approximately $150 million in 2022 to improve wireless connectivity in communities across the state.
To determine a provider's PSI score, PCMag incorporates 80% of the download speed with 20% of the upload speed, based on results from PCMag's speed test tool. ISPs must receive a minimum of 100 different tests to be considered.
About GCI
Headquartered in Alaska, GCI provides data, mobile, video, voice and managed services to consumer, business, government, and carrier customers throughout Alaska, serving more than 200 communities. The company has invested more than $4 billion in its Alaska network and facilities over the past 40 years and recently launched true standards-based 5G NR service in Anchorage, now the nation's northernmost 5G service area.

PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- "Many local government agencies have invested in technology and may not be taking full advantage of its power to serve as an economic engine. We can change that," says Dustin Haisler, GovTech's Chief Innovation Officer. Haisler will be presenting at Springbrook's annual Activate event, September 14-16, 2022, at the Virgin Resort in Las Vegas. Register here for the event's early bird special.
The pandemic completely shifted the economic development landscape for agencies across the country, challenging and disrupting traditional ways to unlock and accelerate local economies.
"These shifts created a competitive landscape, forcing agencies to leverage new approaches to attract prospective constituents, businesses, and employees. Technology has become an increasingly important tool in unlocking economic value, but it requires the right holistic approach, combining future-ready people, processes, and technology. But where do you start," observes Haisler.
What are the foundational elements that should be in place? And most importantly – what are the new 'tech' plays that can be used to accelerate economic development? Haisler frames how things have changed and shares the new 'tech' plays that can help local government agencies compete and unlock new economic value in a world of exponential change.
Springbrook's Activate event is September 14-16, 2022 at the Virgin Resort in Las Vegas. It is open to all representatives from local government agencies: register here. The event features advanced training, keynote presentations, workshops, and incredible networking opportunities. A complete agenda can be found here.

Private sector lender AU Small Finance Bank (SFB) on August 3 opened its qualified institutional placement (QIP) to raise up to Rs 2,000 crore and set the floor price of the issue at Rs 590.84 per equity share.
The company is looking to mop up Rs 1,600 crore as the base deal size, with an option to increase the total funds raised by another Rs 400 crore.
Jaipur-based AU Small Finance Bank stated, "The Capital Raising Committee of the board has, at its meeting held today passed a resolution for the following: (a) Authorised the opening of the Issue today, i.e. August 03, 2022. (b) Noted the floor price for the issue; and (c) Approved and adopted the preliminary placement document dated August 03, 2022."
"The bank may offer a discount of not more than 5% on the floor price so calculated for the issue," the lender said.
"A meeting of the Capital Raising Committee of the bank is scheduled to be held on August 8, 2022, inter alia, to consider and determine the issue price of equity shares," the bank added.
Back in July, the bank's board had approved a proposal for a Rs 3,000-crore equity fundraise. Further, the board also approved borrowing or raising of funds for an amount not exceeding Rs 6,000 crore in one or more tranches, by the issue of debt instruments, including but not limited to bonds and non-convertible debentures.
AU Small Finance Bank reported a 32 percent year-on-year increase in its Q1 net profit at Rs 268 crore. It had reported a net profit of Rs 203 crore in the year-ago quarter.

The bank remains well capitalised with a total CRAR (capital to risk weighted assets ratio) at 19.4 percent against the minimum requirement of 15 percent. By adding the interim profits, the CRAR will be 20 percent. Its Tier I capital ratio of 18.4 percent is against the minimum requirement of 7.5 percent. Adding the interim profits, the Tier-I capital adequacy would be 19.1 percent. | https://www.cnbctv18.com/finance/au-small-finance-bank-launches-qip-looks-to-raise-rs-2000-crore-14357732.htm/amp | 2022-08-03T14:44:56Z | https://www.cnbctv18.com/finance/au-small-finance-bank-launches-qip-looks-to-raise-rs-2000-crore-14357732.htm/amp | true | 2 |

Todd Thibodeaux uses ChannelCon 2022 state of the industry remarks to unveil CompTIA's Project Agora; invites broad industry participation in the effort to fight for tech talent
CHICAGO, Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- CompTIA, the nonprofit association for the information technology (IT) industry and workforce, is undertaking an expansive effort to create the most resource-rich source of information and support for anyone interested in starting, staying and succeeding in a career in technology.
CompTIA President and CEO Todd Thibodeaux revealed the association's Project Agora during his state of the industry remarks at ChannelCon 2022.
"The goal of Project Agora is to create the most respected place to start, build and supercharge your tech career," he said. "With amazing resources and broad support from our members, partners and industry Project Agora will help people find success in the tech workforce."
The labor market is in a period of unprecedented transition, characterized in large part by the volume of frictional unemployment as individuals search for, or transition from one job to another. One in four US workers were actively seeking a new job or pursuing other career options during Q2 2022, CompTIA research reveals.1 While tech is among the top five industries job seekers were considering, it ranked behind several other sectors, including sales, real estate, healthcare, hospitality and finance. A lack of confidence in technical skills, concerns about the cost and the time it will take to learn those skills and perceptions about the tech industry culture are factors that contribute to reluctance to consider tech as a career option.
"Our challenge is to convert more career intent people to tech intent," Thibodeaux said. "We need to tell better stories, more consistently, about how truly great it is to work in tech. The way we get the talent we need is by fighting for it."
Project Agora will help in that effort, first by enabling individuals to explore in great depth tech jobs and careers. CompTIA has identified 30 different job roles covering 90% of tech employment. The next step is creating resources to engage users and convert them from career intent to tech intent. Thibodeaux issued a call to action for the industry to get involved in this effort to build the best, most comprehensive collection of tech career resources available anywhere.
"Confidence gaps, career transition gaps and reskilling gaps are not insurmountable barriers but rather opportunities to chart a new course for individuals and the companies that employ them," Thibodeaux concluded. "Project Agora is all about unlocking potential, for the industry, and for millions of people we want and need working in it,"
Organizations interested in getting involved in Project Agora can contact CompTIA at action5@comptia.org
The Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA) is a leading voice and advocate for the $5 trillion global information technology ecosystem; and the estimated 75 million industry and tech professionals who design, implement, manage, and safeguard the technology that powers the world's economy. Through education, training, certifications, advocacy, philanthropy, and market research, CompTIA is the hub for unlocking the potential of the tech industry and its workforce. https://www.comptia.org/

The Indian rupee lost ground on Wednesday after four straight sessions of gains as the country’s ballooning trade deficit and uncertainty around the upcoming central bank decision dented its appeal.
The partially convertible rupee closed at 79.16 against the dollar, erasing gains from the previous session, when it closed at 78.71.
India’s provisional July trade deficit widened to $31.02 billion from $10.63 billion a year earlier, as the country spent more on crude oil and coal imports, a government official said on Tuesday.
“The temporary relief we had seen on the back of a pullback in crude prices and a correction in the dollar index is over. We have to take domestic pressures into consideration,” said Swati Arora, an economist with HDFC Bank.
Funding the current account will be a challenge and inflationary problems have not yet gone away, making risks skewed towards the downside, Arora added.
The rupee touched a five-week high of 78.49 on Tuesday, but is expected to settle between 79-80 against the dollar in the near term.
It firmed as Indian equities saw inflows worth $1 billion over the past four days alone, said S. Hariharan, head of sales trading at Emkay Global Financial Services.
No one wants to make big bets ahead of the Reserve Bank of India’s monetary policy decision on Friday either as it is unclear what the size of the interest rate hike will be, a trader at a private bank said.
A rate increase is guaranteed but estimates range from 25-50 basis point (bps) with no clear consensus, a Reuters poll said.
If the RBI does not raise rates as aggressively as the Federal Reserve, it would widen the interest rate differential with the United States and India and prompt more foreign fund outflows from the country. | https://www.brecorder.com/news/40189798/indian-rupee-weakens-after-four-days-of-gains-on-record-trade-deficit | 2022-08-03T14:51:05Z | https://www.brecorder.com/news/40189798/indian-rupee-weakens-after-four-days-of-gains-on-record-trade-deficit | false | 5 |

Taco Bell’s Mexican Pizza is coming back for good
Published: Aug. 3, 2022 at 9:49 AM CDT|Updated: 11 minutes ago
(CNN) - Taco Bell fans, mark your calendars!
Mexican Pizza is permanently returning to the menu Sept. 15.
After a three-month absence, the chain said the fan-favorite item is coming back permanently.
Mexican Pizza made an appearance earlier this year in May, but the demand was so high that Taco Bell ran out of its necessary ingredients just a couple weeks after its launch.
The company said it has worked out the supply chain issues, and Mexican Pizza is here to stay.

In 1986, when I began my 27 years of service to our country as outlined in my bio below, I took an oath which made no room for discussions of “mandatory” or “discretionary” funding. When I left the military, I believed I had been part of a fair exchange; fight for freedom with the expectation that those who sent me into harm’s way, would honorably fight for me. It is not surprising to see news that the military I proudly served in successfully took out al-Qaida and its leaders Ayman al-Zawahr, Osama bin Laden, in addition to liberating thousands oppressed by al-Qaida and later ISIS. Those responsible for these outcomes took their oath seriously and because of that, the world is a better place today.
I was, however, surprised Sen. Daines voted to deny me and those with whom I served, the benefits we earned. We served from a place of promise and American exceptionalism. Rather than get sucked into the stories of the senator voting against a veteran’s home and then showing up for the ground breaking, or fist bumping the defeat of this bill and the death of fellow service members as a result, I opted to call the senator. When I contacted his office on Aug. 1, I was told that the senator voted against this bill because it contained “discretionary” spending and the senator was worried about recession. The office opted not provide any explanation as to why the discretionary defense spending sending me into harm’s way was acceptable, but somehow the discretionary defense spending to save the lives of sick veterans who served with me in active combat areas is not.
People are also reading…
The senator, by his own words (not the media, no filters) opted to vote against the very people he chose to send into harms way over the difference between mandatory and discretionary. I assure you, the oath I took allows for no such distinctions. I assure you that there was no discussion of mandatory versus discretionary in eliminating the threat posed by Ayman Zawahr. The difference between mandatory and discretionary, however, is enough for Sen. Daines to deny benefits to the Americans he cavalierly put in harm’s way. Playing politics with veterans’ lives is shameful. The 10% of Montana’s population that are veterans should be indignant. Everyone should be pissed. The voting pattern is clear: Daines votes for the military industrial complex and the overseas deployment of American sons and daughters. At the same time he votes against those who selflessly serve. Shame on you, Sen. Daines. We deserve better.

Breastfeeding mother goes viral with TikTok highlighting her lopsided breasts - and jokes that she needs to use an avocado to even them out!
- Bobbi Althoff's TikTok about uneven breasts from feeding baby has gone viral
- The U.S. influencer's jokey, fun, video resonated with many in a similar position
- The clip sees her stuff an avocado down her top to make her breasts look even
An mother has gone viral on TikTok after posting a jokey clip about lopsided breasts caused by feeding a newborn.
Bobbi Althoff, 25, from California, who welcomed her daughter four weeks ago, took to social media to highlight the side-effect of nursing in a light-hearted manner.
The video - which has raked up more than 1.7 million views since being posted last week - struck a chord with many new mothers in the same boat.
Bobbi Althoff, 25, from California, has gone viral on TikTok after posting a jokey clip about uneven breasts caused by feeding a newborn
The video - which has raked up more than 1.7 million views since being posted last week - hit a spot with many new parents in the same boat
Promising a 'life hack for breastfeeding women', the young mother began the video on her account @bobbialthoff by saying: 'Finished getting ready to run a few errands today but I refuse to let my inconsistency hold me back from wearing tight tank-tops.'
Bobbi was referencing her uneven breasts - with one dropping lower than the other - understood to be a result of uneven milk production or a baby favoring one breast over the other.
Jokingly, the influencer continued: 'So today what I'm gonna be doing is taking an avocado and sticking it inside to make them look even.'
Bobbi Althoff, who welcomed her newborn daughter four weeks ago, took to social media to highlight the side-effect in a light-hearted manner
Plopping the fruit down her top, Bobbi jested: 'Alright I think that does the trick.
'I just hope...when I'm walking the avocado doesn't fall out because then I'd have to make guac and that'd be embarrassing.'
Viewers were left in stitches as they rushed to the comments to laugh and share similar experiences.
One user wrote: 'I am currently in the same boat ! My right side is an over achiever and my left side is slacking.'

Another added: 'You make me feel better for having the same problem.'
A third user questioned: 'Mine are the same. Do you think they'll get even when we stop nursing?'
'I am currently in the same boat! My right side is an over achiever and my left side is slacking,' another penned.
Some candidly opened up about insecurities as a result of the natural occurrence.
'Mine are like this and it makes me so self conscious to wear tank tops,' a comment read. 'But it's summer...he favoured one side and now only uses one side forever.'
Others even admitted to trying out similar hacks in the past.
'No because when me and my husband went out I stuffed my left side so it matched my right,' one shared.

Uneven or lopsided breasts can occur due to uneven milk supply while feeding.
According to parenting site Verywell Family, one breast may become larger if it is stimulated more, and hence produces more milk.
This can also occur as a result of one baby favouring one breast over another - thus leading to them appearing lopsided.
The site advises that the occurrence is very common. It adds: 'As long as your child is getting enough breast milk and growing at a steady rate, uneven breasts aren't anything to worry about...
'For most people who breastfeed, uneven breasts are not a medical concern. But, if one breast has been consistently smaller from the beginning and did not get any larger throughout your pregnancy or the early postpartum period, talk to your doctor.'
According to the NHS site, other common side effects of breastfeeding include sore or cracked nipples, breast engorgement, blocked milk ducts and thrush infections.

The TruSight and Whistic partnership helps suppliers turn their validated risk assessments into sales acceleration tools
NEW YORK, Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- TruSight, the financial industry's leading provider of validated third-party risk data, today announced a partnership with Whistic, the creator of an innovative network to assess, publish, and share vendor security information. The alliance will enable third parties to quickly inform prospects and customers that they are TruSight validated and streamline customers' requests to access their TruSight assessments and additional audit reports.
TruSight and Whistic aim to improve the third-party experience by reducing the duplicative work associated with third-party risk assessment requests. Whistic helps companies streamline and automate their third-party risk management (TPRM) programs through the Whistic Vendor Security Network, which accelerates the vendor assessment process by enabling businesses to access and evaluate a vendor's Whistic Profile – which consolidates all a vendor's security documentation, including questionnaires, certifications, and audits, into one place. TruSight, an industry-backed platform, facilitates the efficient exchange of standardized and fully validated risk data between service providers and their customers. The TruSight utility model, in which assessments are performed once and shared by many, reduces the time and effort spent by both financial services institutions and third parties by eliminating the need for repetitive and duplicative questionnaires and assessment inquiries.
The partnership between TruSight and Whistic helps suppliers take their assessment reports and turn them into a sales acceleration tool. As a TruSight partner, Whistic is exclusively offering a free Profile to TruSight Third Party Suppliers. TruSight third-party suppliers can upload their TruSight Validated Badge, security questionnaires, audit reports, security certifications, and other documentation to their Whistic Profile to effortlessly share due diligence efforts with customers and prospects to expedite the security review process. The TruSight Validated Badge will link to a third-party assessment inquiry form, allowing customers and prospects to easily request access to the third-party's assessment – cutting down on the sales cycle while promoting the due diligence efforts of the third-party and ensuring third parties retain the rights to their security data.
"Whistic shares our belief in the importance of a trusted supply chain, particularly in today's volatile risk environment," said Luke Nordlie, Chief Revenue Officer of TruSight. "Our partnership allows us to further streamline the assessment process by centralizing the distribution of due diligence information. We are excited by the opportunities this partnership brings and look forward to working with Whistic to provide even more advantages to third parties and customers in the future."
"TruSight has played a key role in driving industry change around third-party risk assessments, and this partnership is another step in that direction," said Sunil Dsouza, Vice President of Partnerships and Business Development at Whistic. "By giving vendors the ability to quickly respond to common risk assessment and review process challenges, our partnership will give them improved support to build trust with customers. Through the Whistic Profile, third parties will be able to proactively share a snapshot of their security efforts with prospects and customers, giving businesses greater visibility into supply chain risk and make more informed risk decisions."

The Hague (Netherlands), Aug 3 (AP) The Dutch government declared a national water shortage Wednesday caused by the hot, dry summer that is parching much of Europe, and formed a national team to draw up measures to manage supplies, while asking the public to also chip in with savings.
“The water shortage is already having a negative effect on shipping and agriculture in particular,” said Minister of Infrastructure and Water Management Mark Harbers.

He urged people “to think carefully about whether they should wash their car or completely fill their inflatable swimming pool. The Netherlands is a water country, but our water is precious here too.”
Very little rain has fallen in the Netherlands over the summer, and dry conditions further north and east in Europe mean less water is streaming into the country in rivers.
Also Read | China Concerned Over South Korea's Remarks on US-Made Anti-Missile Systems 'THAAD'.
The government said that drinking water supplies are not threatened and said new measures are not yet necessary, but could be “in coming weeks.”
Water authorities in parts of the country already have put restrictions on farmers spraying crops with water, and several small ferries crossing rivers have been forced out of service because of low water levels. The drought conditions also are hindering freight-carrying barges that ply the country's rivers.
Amid soaring temperatures last month, authorities in Amsterdam were forced to spray water on mechanical bridges to stop them expanding and jamming shut.
The Netherlands is the latest country to feel the effects of the dry conditions. The European Union's executive warned last month that the continent is facing one of its toughest years when it comes to natural disasters like droughts and wildfires because of increasing climate change. (AP)

Drake confirms he has tested positive for covid again and forced to cancel his Young Money reunion show.
The Toronto rapper shared the disappointing news to fans on his Instagram account on Monday, just hours ahead of the time he was originally set to take the stage alongside Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne.
Last month, after dropping his latest album, Honestly, Nevermind, Drake revealed that he would be performing at the three-day October World Weekend, which runs from July 28- August 1, 2022.
Drizzy was to appear on stage on day three with Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne on the final day of the three-day event, which says All Canadian North Stars performing on day one and Lil Baby and Chris Brown on day two.
In announcing his covid positive test, Drake said that the Young Money Reunion will now be “rescheduled to the SOONEST date possible.”
“I love you all and I am so sorry for letting you down on our weekend together and the moment I test negative I will give you everything I got on stage (except the Covid),” the rapper said on the post.
Drake was seen out on night two of the event, where he even joined the stage with singer Nelly Furtado as he co-performed her song, “I’m Like a Bird,” and appeared in good spirits. He was also seen in the crowds dancing.
However, the rapper promised his fans that he will perform for them very soon. “I will keep the city posted and share the new date whenever we have it locked in,” Drake added. | https://999wefm.com/drake-tests-positive-for-covid-again-cancels-show-with-lil-wayne-nicki-minaj/ | 2022-08-03T15:15:49Z | https://999wefm.com/drake-tests-positive-for-covid-again-cancels-show-with-lil-wayne-nicki-minaj/ | true | 1 |
Premier League predictions: Who will finish where in 2022-23?
- Published
Phil McNulty, BBC Sport
Last season - 5th
This season's prediction - 5th
Arsenal, and manager Mikel Arteta, were left frustrated at missing out on Champions League football at the final hurdle last season but there is a lot to like about their summer transfer business and there is likely to be more to come.
I can see them challenging for the top four again with the signings of Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus - the rare instance of a deal being good for all parties - and his team-mate Oleksandr Zinchenko adding not only quality but experience of what it takes to win under pressure. Fabio Vieira, a £34m signing from Porto, augments midfield strength.
It's a big season for Arteta but he has the complete faith of the Arsenal board and they have looked a million dollars in pre-season.
He needs a top-four finish and to be challenging for trophies and I fancy Arsenal might just do that. I do not see them as title contenders, though. | https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/c72xm9x0d1vo | 2022-08-03T15:17:33Z | https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/c72xm9x0d1vo | false | 2 |
Volunteer fire departments here will have an open opportunity to voice some of their needs, the County Commission decided last Tuesday.
Tad Malcolm, director of emergency management in Hampshire County, appeared in front of the Commission at their meeting last Tuesday evening on behalf of Ronnie Watson, the fire chief in Levels, to discuss their need for a LUCAS device for the Levels fire department.
A LUCAS device (which stands for the Lund University Cardiopulmonary Assist System device) is a mechanism to provide chest compressions to patients experiencing cardiac arrest. Some fire departments in Hampshire County already use these devices, Malcolm explained, but Levels isn’t one of them.
The Levels fire department does have an AED, Malcolm pointed out, but that’s just the 1st step.
(An AED is an “automated external defibrillator,” and Malcolm called it the “cardiac 1st line of defense.”)
Having a LUCAS device as well as an AED can help first responders save lives – an individual performing chest compressions correctly on a patient can tire them out.
“When properly attached, it will give accurate and consecutive chest compressions, and it doesn’t get tired,” Malcolm explained. “If you’ve ever done CPR, about 7 to 10 minutes is the max for proper CPR for a responder…it takes the human error out of compression.”
The chase cars don’t have LUCAS devices either, Malcolm added, and they should.
“A single paramedic going out in a chase unit cannot push his medications as needed without continuously working,” he said. “A LUCAS device would make their job a lot easier…they can’t do it all and provide compressions.”
Commissioner Bob Hott suggested the Commission take a look at the American Rescue Plan dollars that come to Hampshire County, and suggested that some of those funds might be able to be used for the purchase of additional LUCAS devices for the Levels fire department and any of the other departments that may need them.
Right now, each device costs about $17,800 apiece, said Malcolm, but the prices are only going to go up. The more the county buys from Stryker, the cheaper they’ll be.
Commissioner Dave Cannon voiced his support of getting more of the devices to the departments that need them, and moved to authorize Malcolm to conduct a survey to all of the volunteer fire departments to see which of them request LUCAS devices.
“I know the vitality of (the devices),” Malcolm said. “It’s been credited with saving the life of a gentleman in Slanesville, a former firefighter out there…they were able to get it on him quickly.” | https://www.hampshirereview.com/news/article_515ff434-132e-11ed-9970-1f4b1fefdfa8.html | 2022-08-03T15:17:58Z | https://www.hampshirereview.com/news/article_515ff434-132e-11ed-9970-1f4b1fefdfa8.html | false | 1 |
Former U.S. Treasury secretaries back drugs, climate, tax bill
Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com
WASHINGTON, Aug 3 (Reuters) - Five former U.S. Treasury secretaries - four Democrats and one Republican -- on Wednesday voiced support for a proposed $430 billion drugs, energy and tax bill, saying that it would reduce costs for middle-class families.
The statement from former secretaries Robert Rubin, Larry Summers, Jacob Lew, Tim Geithner and Henry Paulson echo a letter sent by current Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen to congressional leaders on Tuesday that the bill would not raise taxes for Americans earning less than $400,000.
The statement excluded Steven Mnuchin, the most recent former secretary, who served in former president Donald Trump's Republican administration. Paulson, the lone Republican in the group, has championed environmental causes, including transitioning to clean energy.

Republicans have argued that the bill would break President Biden's pledge not to raise taxes on that level because of a Joint Committee on Taxation analysis of distributional effects of income and taxes from the legislation, known as the "Inflation Reduction Act of 2022".
The JCT analysis shows that higher taxes paid by corporations would indirectly raise the effective tax burdens of Americans with incomes of $200,000 or less by $16.7 billion in 2023, through income reduction effects.
The former Treasury secretaries, in a statement issued by Summers' Harvard University office, said the bill was "financed by prudent tax policy that will collect more from top earners and large corporations.
"Taxes due or paid will not increase for any family making less than $400,000/year. And the extra taxes levied on corporations do not reflect increases in the corporate tax rate, but rather the reclaiming of revenue lost to tax avoidance and provisions benefiting the most affluent," they said.
The secretaries also said the JCT analysis selectively presented distributional effects of the bill, but neglected to show its benefits to middle-class families from reduced prescription drug prices to more affordable energy.
"This legislation will help increase American competitiveness, address our climate crisis, lower costs for families, and fight inflation — and should be passed immediately by Congress," the former secretaries said.
Summers last year was critical of the Biden administration's $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan COVID-19 relief package, arguing that it was excessive and would stoke persistent inflation.
The proposed legislation would provide new federal funding for a significant reduction in U.S. carbon dioxide emissions that contribute to climate change and allow Medicare, the federal health insurance program for the elderly and disabled, to negotiate lower pharmaceutical prices.
The bill would be financed by a new 15% domestic corporate minimum tax large firms with more than $1 billion in book income, while closing some credits and deductions benefiting wealthy Americans.

Atlanta Falcons Over/Under Wins Total Betting Breakdown
The Falcons plodded to seven wins a season ago while hanging on to the last vestiges of the team that infamously blew a 28-3 lead in the Super Bowl.
Given the Falcons’ -146 point differential in 2021, it was a wonder that they even managed to eke out that many victories.
Now that franchise legend Matt Ryan is playing in Indianapolis (a trade that returned a third-round pick and incurred $40 million in dead money) and top receiver Calvin Ridley is suspended for the season for gambling, the rebuild is in full swing and Atlanta projects to be one of the worst teams in the NFL.
AFC East Over/Under Wins Total: BUF | NE | MIA | NYJ | Division Odds
NFC East Over/Under Wins Total: DAL | PHI | WSH | NYG | Division Odds
AFC South Over/Under Wins Total: TEN | IND | HOU | JAX | Division Odds
NFC South Over/Under Wins Total: TB | NO
The franchise took some swings in the draft at receiver Drake London and quarterback Desmond Ridder and brought in capable veterans on both sides of the ball to put a band-aid on a roster that’s hamstrung by $60 million in dead money, in large part thanks to Ryan and Julio Jones, who was traded the previous offseason.
Those moves, such as signing quarterback Marcus Mariota (who has experience with coach Arthur Smith in Tennessee) and bringing in Casey Hayward to pair with blossoming star A.J. Terrell in the secondary, did not move the needle, though.
The Falcons’ projected win total at SI Sportsbook is set at 4.5 wins. They are not favored in any game this season, which tracks given that Atlanta is going up against one of the 10 hardest schedules in the league. Will this team outperform expectations once again or does a top-three pick in the quarterback-rich 2023 draft await?

Atlanta Falcons Over/Under: 4.5 - O (-125) | U (-111)
2021-22 record: 7-10; Third NFC South; Missed playoffs
NFC South future odds: +2000 (Fourth)

Key additions: QB Marcus Mariota, WR Drake London, CB Casey Hayward
Key losses: QB Matt Ryan, WR Calvin Ridley (suspension), WR Russell Gage
Falcon Report offseason grade: B-
“The Falcons swung and missed on Deshaun Watson, leading to a chain reaction of moves that eventually forced Atlanta to fully begin its rebuild a year early. Their Watson pursuit led to trading Ryan after 14 seasons under center. The team also transformed its front seven after releasing Fowler and letting Oluokun, last year’s tackle leader, walk in free agency. As a team, the Falcons got worse, but sometimes you need to take a step back to move forward.” — Jeremy Brener

Cordarrelle Patterson’s emergence as a dual-threat weapon in the rushing and receiving game made the Falcons fun (especially for fantasy football players) and Kyle Pitts lived up to his draft stock by turning in a 1,000-yard season in Year 1.
Those weapons will be back in the fold this season along with London (the first receiver selected in April’s draft), Bryan Edwards and running backs Damien Williams and Tyler Allgeier (a fifth-round rookie).
SI Recommends
It seems Mariota, not Ridder, will begin the season as the starter after a two-year stint in Las Vegas as a backup, even though he threw just 30 passes across 11 games. No matter who’s behind center, the crop of young, talented skill position players will make life easier. Playing behind the No. 27 offensive line, per PFF, is another story.
Atlanta’s offense ranked seventh-worst in the NFL in scoring last year and its defense was even more dreadful. Playing in a division with Tom Brady’s Buccaneers, Jameis Winston’s Saints and the Panthers, who improved at quarterback with the addition of Baker Mayfield, makes life on the defensive side of the ball that much more difficult.
Let’s start with the NFC South, which the Falcons went 2-4 against a season ago.
The season begins at home against the Saints and Atlanta is a 4.5-point underdog. There is no line for the Week 15 bout in the Super Dome, but it’s certainly safe to say New Orleans will be an even heavier favorite. Call that 0-2 against the Saints.
The Falcons were swept by the Buccaneers last season and are double-digit underdogs for their first meeting of 2022, which is in Tampa. The Bucs figure to be road favorites in Atlanta when they meet again, so that’s an 0-4 start in division play.
Both games against the Panthers are winnable.
The Falcons are narrow underdogs at home in the first meeting but let’s call that a win for the Birds. They play again two weeks later in Charlotte and Carolina is a 4.5-point favorite. Again, it’s a winnable game but a split seems most likely. That’s a 1-5 mark against an NFC South that projects to produce two playoff teams.
Four games against the NFC West, including two early cross-country trips to Los Angeles and Seattle, could add four more losses to the tally. The Rams are nearly two-touchdown home favorites in Week 2 and the Seahawks are favored by a little more than field goal. That’s likely a brutal loss in L.A. and maybe a win in the Pacific Northwest. Atlanta also hosts the 49ers later in the season as a touchdown underdog and there’s no line available for a Week 17 visit from the Cardinals.
Even accounting for Arizona’s late-season regression, that’s still a loss for Atlanta. Throw in a 1-3 mark against the NFC West and the Falcons’ projected record so far is 2-8. The final two NFC games come on the road against the Commanders and at home against the Bears. Washington is a five-point favorite and the Chicago game is a pick ‘em, so we’ll call that a split to bring the record to 3-9.
The remaining five games against AFC opponents are brutal.
The Falcons face the AFC North and are home 4.5-point underdogs in Week 4 against the Browns, double-digit dogs in Cincinnati and are getting nearly a field goal at home against the Steelers. There’s no line for the Week 16 date in Baltimore, but it will likely be similar to the Bengals line.
Despite the close spread against Pittsburgh, I think the AFC North sweeps Atlanta and the Chargers, who are 7.5-point road favorites, score a win over the Falcons as well.
Projecting three wins gives Atlanta leeway to steal another game and still stay under its projected total. Maybe that’s a win over the Commanders or an early-season upset of the Browns or even a surprise victory against the Steelers. Regardless, the path to five wins for this roster as currently constructed simply isn’t there against this schedule.
Atlanta could very well be headed to its worst season this century.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) — A police investigation is underway at a northeast Knoxville business after multiple shots were fired at its storefront and police witnessed a compact SUV had collided into it before fleeing early Wednesday morning.
According to the Knoxville Police Department, around 5:45 a.m. a KPD officer saw a gray compact SUV that was backed into the glass front door of Urban Power, which is located in the 2700 block of Whittle Springs Road. A report states that as the KPD officer approached the business, the SUV took off and traveled north on Whittle Springs Road and the officer did not pursue the vehicle out of safety concerns for area residents.
Once the officer returned to the business, they found that the suspect or suspects had fired multiple shots into the front of the business. No injuries were reported.
Officers were initially unable to contact the keyholder of the business at the time the report was made.

Trump-Backed John Gibbs Triumphs Over Pro-Impeachment Republican Incumbent
One of the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach then-President Donald Trump after the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol incursion was defeated in a Republican primary on Tuesday.
Republican Rep. Peter Meijer, who represents Michigan’s 3rd Congressional District, lost to John Gibbs, whom Trump had endorsed.
As of 7 a.m. Wednesday, with 88 percent of the votes counted, Gibbs led 52 percent to 48 percent, according to the Detroit Free Press.
Gibbs, a former software developer who served in the Trump administration as acting assistant secretary in the Department of Housing and Urban Development, thanked the former president for his support early Wednesday.

Another Trump-endorsed candidate, Tudor Dixon, won the state’s GOP gubernatorial primary.
“Fantastic night in Michigan! Tudor Dixon will be a great Governor. John Gibbs WON with a big surge in the end. Not a good time for Impeachers – 7 down, 3 to go! Thank you Michigan!” the former president said in a TruthSocial post.
Trump’s comment referred to the fact that of the 10 lawmakers who supported his impeachment, seven – through defeats or retirements – will not be back in Congress, according to Politico. Reps. Jaime Herrera Beutler of Washington, whose primary was too close to call early Wednesday, and Liz Cheney of Wyoming face primaries. Rep. David Valadao of California survived a general primary to make it to the general election.
His endorsement was crucial for Gibbs, who worked under HUD Secretary Ben Carson in the Trump administration.

“John Gibbs is a fabulous talent who loves the State, our Military, and our Vets. He will always protect our Second Amendment, our Southern Border, and the Police—there will be no defunding with John!” Trump said in his November endorsement.

— John Gibbs for MI-3 (@votejohngibbs) November 15, 2021
Meijer conceded the race just before 2 a.m. local time.
“This was a hard-fought primary campaign and I want to thank everyone in west Michigan for their support. … I also want to congratulate my opponent, John Gibbs, on his victory tonight,” he said, according to the Free Press.
The race included a tactic Democrats have used before of labeling the Trump-backed candidate as more conservative in hopes of boosting his vote totals on the grounds that the more conservative candidate might be less likely to win a general election.
Democrats spent $425,000 in ads that supported Gibbs. The two sides viewed that very differently.
“The DCCC boosting John Gibbs is clear evidence of who Nancy Pelosi prefers in this race,” Meijer spokeswoman Emily Taylor said.
“I don’t know what they’re doing or not doing, it really doesn’t matter to me,” Gibbs said. “I think we’re ahead anyway.”
Gibbs is a Lansing, Michigan, native who worked on the iPhone project for Apple after graduating from Stanford, according to the Detroit News. He later served as a Christian missionary to Japan for seven years.
Gibbs received a master’s in public administration from Harvard University and oversaw homelessness programs and community development block grants while at HUD.

Haley McMahon says every time she hears someone say "you can't ban abortions, only safe abortion," she shakes her head a little.
McMahon studies abortion access and she says while women will certainly die because of the Supreme Court's decision, this idea of women dying from back alley abortions is stuck in the past. "I understand why people go to that talking point," she says. "But that's just not where the evidence points."
Medicine has advanced over the past fifty years. Now there are self-managed abortions — known as SMAs — pills people can take to safely terminate a pregnancy from home.
But America's prison and policing system has also grown, McMahon says. Fifty years ago we didn't have our current culture of mass incarceration.
"We're gonna see more people being criminalized, more people being arrested and more people being incarcerated."
"I think a lot of people's first reaction was to pull out the coat hanger imagery," McMahon says about the ending of Roe.
But a more accurate symbol might be prison bars.
The criminalization of pregnancy is already here
The patients were deemed suspicious, or they had not received good prenatal care, some had unexplained preterm labor, others a history of alcohol or drug abuse.
These were the pregnant women that the Medical University of South Carolina, in cooperation with police and the local prosecutor, drug tested without their knowledge in 1989.
"They set up a dragnet," says Michelle Goodwin, a law professor at the University of California Irvine and the author of the book Policing The Womb. Over a period of five years, a total of 30 women were arrested for child abuse.
A few brushstroke details from the lawsuit that would follow: One woman spent the last three weeks of her pregnancy in jail, another was arrested moments after she had given birth, handcuffed while she was still bleeding, wearing only a hospital gown.
"Every one of the arrests were all Black women with the exception of one patient," says Goodwin. "And on her medical chart, the nurse who was in charge wrote 'lives with Negro boyfriend.'"
This was during the rapid growth of the war on drugs, which contributed to mass incarceration and reified racist myths like welfare queens and crack babies.
The shaming of Black women for supposedly creating a generation of crack babies seeped from public discourse into public policy, Goodwin says. It didn't matter that the concept of the "crack baby" was a racist, fictionalized invention.
"Black women who suffered from stillbirths, Black women who had alerted their doctors that they suffered through addiction were being policed, were being stigmatized and ultimately were being arrested," Goodwin says. "Whether they had healthy births or whether they had a miscarriage."
The fact that Black women were targeted has nothing to do with their behavior, Goodwin says. "We have to dispel this notion that the type of policing that was taking place was a result of Black and brown women just being more criminal, more negligent, just simply bad mothers."
"There's absolutely no data that establishes that Black women were any different than white women in conduct during their pregnancy," she says.
What was different was who was deemed suspect, often by medical staff. In the 80's and 90's, Goodwin says, "a Black woman was 10 times more likely to be reported to police and social services on matters related to her pregnancy than were white women."
This kind of disproportionate targeting of women of color continues to this day, and stretches back far into the past.
"When we think about the history of policing the womb, policing reproduction, policing motherhood, it's an experience that is not new," says Goodwin.
Black women and Indigenous women have always been policed like this Goodwin says, which makes them "canaries in the coalmine."
Like the women in North Carolina, whose arrests were harbingers for the criminalization of pregnancy that would increase even while abortion was legal, and for what will happen next, in the post-Roe world.
Policing pregnancy, she says, "is all about power and control."
A new category of crime victim
If one of the major factors in criminalizing pregnancy was the war on drugs, the other was an ongoing wave of post-Roe feticide laws — which created a completely new class of crime victim, the fetus.
These laws often were passed under the auspices of protecting pregnant women, especially from domestic violence. There's no arguing that people who are pregnant need protection. In the United States homicide is the leading cause of death among pregnant women. But the feticide laws didn't work to make pregnant people safer, says Dana Sussman, acting executive director of National Advocates for Pregnant Women, known as NAPW. "What these laws are then used for is actually to criminalize the pregnant person herself," says Sussman.
The laws that were supposed to protect women from violence, instead became another way to criminalize pregnancy.
"The first sort of experiment in this area," Sussman says, "were primarily drug- using Black women who were charged with crimes in relationship to their fetus." Those crimes were often things like child abuse or child neglect — but there were also cases where the rhetoric of the war on drugs cases merged into the feticide statutes to create a perfect storm of policing pregnancy.
Sussman says one case from 2006 in particular sticks with her.
When Rennie Gibbs gave birth a month early, her daughter was stillborn, her umbilical cord wrapped around her neck. She never took a breath. The cause of death seemed clear until the medical examiner found trace amounts of cocaine in the baby's system; then it became murder — Mississippi's "depraved heart" murder. The case was eventually dismissed in 2014.
Sussman says there was zero medical proof that Gibbs' baby had died because the teenager had used drugs, but it didn't matter. And it didn't change the steady increase of prosecutions like that one.
"We are involved now in multiple cases in which the mother is blamed for the pregnancy loss and then criminalized for that loss," Sussman says. "Without really any science or medicine backing it up."
They are currently representing Brittney Pullow, a member of the Wichita Tribe, who was convicted of manslaughter last year for having a miscarriage when she was somewhere between 15 and 17 weeks pregnant. The state of Oklahoma faulted the miscarriage on methampetamine use, without scientific support.
In some cases, medical examiners use an ancient "lung float test" to determine if a baby is born alive, so they can make the case for murder. "Talk about antiquated," Sussman says. "It's like from the era of you're a witch if you float, you're dead if you sink — it's the same stuff." That test helped send another woman, Breyona Reddick, to prison for a decade just this year.
Not just drug use
In 2004, there was the Salt Lake City woman carrying twins who refused a c-section. When one died, she was charged with murder for that refusal. That charge was dropped, but she plead guilty to child endangerment for using drugs during her pregnancy. Many other cases involve no use of substances at all.
Like in Iowa in 2010, when a young woman fell down the stairs, losing her pregnancy. While being treated in the hospital, she confessed to a nurse that she hadn't been sure she wanted a baby. She was accused of feticide, before the charges were dropped.
Then there was Bei Bei Shuai.
"Her boyfriend left her in the cold darkness," says Michelle Goodwin. "One of the coldest days on record in the state of Indiana, I believe."
"She was on her hands and knees, begging and pleading to him in a parking lot, not to leave." After he drove off she swallowed rat poison. She was 33 weeks pregnant.
She survived the suicide attempt. The baby, who was delivered prematurely, died days later.
"Doctors said that they believed it was quite possible that the efforts that they made to save Bei Bei's life may have contributed to the demise of the baby," Goodwin says.
Shuai was charged with attempted feticide and murder, facing between 45 and 65 years in prison.
Suicide is not a crime, Sussman points out. "Often what we see is the conversion of otherwise legal behavior during pregnancy to criminal behavior, simply because the person is pregnant," she says.
The same holds true for drug use, which on its own is also not a crime in most states. It is the person's status as pregnant that changes that, that makes you vulnerable, Sussman says. "All of a sudden, the state can charge you with crimes that do not exist if you were not pregnant."
NAPW has documented more than 1,700 cases in which a woman was charged, arrested, or detained for reasons related to pregnancy since 1973, when Roe was decided. Most of these cases, but not all, involve women who gave birth to healthy babies.
"If the protections of Roe and Casey no longer exist criminalization will increase across all pregnancy outcomes," Sussman says. "This is not just an issue of abortion — this is an issue for anyone who is pregnant or who has the capacity for pregnancy."
The growth of policing and mass incarceration
The last time that abortion was illegal, the landscape of American law enforcement was vastly different. The trend since then has been to increasingly push social problems onto the plate of policing. In most American cities funding for police departments takes up the majority of the budget, even as other public services lack funding.
"Our country in the past 50 years has decided that the police state is the way to respond to public health crises, to mental health crises, to poverty," Sussman says.
"We have weaponized the state to get involved in so many aspects of our lives that were just not present in 1973," she says about the year Roe made abortion legal. "The apparatus of mass incarceration and criminalization and the funding to support it did not exist in 1973."
But it does now. And this matters for people whose pregnancies will increasingly become the direct purview of police. "All you need to show is that a woman exposed their child to some risk or perceived risk of harm or exposed their fetus to some perceived risk of harm," she says, emphasizing that no harm needs to happen for the state to get involved.
"The exposure alone is considered a felony in multiple states already. And we anticipate we will see much more of this post-Dobbs."
Sussman says that means miscarriages, which occur in 10 to 20 percent of pregnancies, could become heavily scrutinized.
"The vast majority of miscarriages have no known cause," she says. "They're often unexplained genetic abnormalities. There is nothing that the pregnant person could have done or not done to have changed that outcome."
But there is virtually no way to tell the difference between a self-managed abortion and a miscarriage. For the most part, they look medically identical.
"There's no examination," says abortion researcher Haley McMahon. "There's no blood test."
"The only way they know is if you disclose that information," she says.
Sussman says the door swings both ways. "I anticipate that prosecutors will sweep in anyone who is experiencing a pregnancy loss that they deem 'suspicious,'" Sussman says.
Suspicious. That was the rationale used to target the women treated at the Medical University of South Carolina in 1989. Black women are twice as likely to have miscarriages as white and Latina women, making them statistically more vulnerable to suspicions that are based less on evidence, and more on racism and classism.
"It's going to be poor people, people of color, young people," says Sussman. "Anyone who is experiencing a mental health crisis, anyone who has a substance-use disorder, those are the people that are gonna be most vulnerable to suspicion and the specter of law enforcement when they experience a pregnancy loss."
Which is why McMahon says it's key to understand that the conversation about pregnancy and abortion is not just about health and physical survival, it's increasingly about prison and policing.
Two years after nationwide protests over systemic racism in policing failed to produce a real reckoning, law enforcement is being handed even more power to surveil and punish pregnancy and women's bodies.
"Who are the people who are going to enforce these abortion bans?" McMahon asks.
"We know exactly who they are, they're the police."

MIRAMAR, Fla., Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Spirit Airlines' (NYSE: SAVE) iconic black and yellow planes soared above the Land of Enchantment today as the airline launched service at Albuquerque (ABQ) for the first time. The new route offers Albuquerque Guests a daily, nonstop option to Las Vegas (LAS) and more than a dozen connections across the U.S.
"Albuquerque makes for a great debut into New Mexico, offering our Guests affordable and easy access to the vibrant culture and unique recreational activities found in the Duke City," said John Kirby, Vice President of Network Planning at Spirit Airlines.

Clarkston Station and Woodside Village are Jair Lynch's first acquisition with Nuveen Real Estate in the Atlanta market
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Jair Lynch Real Estate Partners ("Jair Lynch"), a leading owner and developer of mixed-use properties and attainable housing, and Nuveen Real Estate ("Nuveen"), one of the largest real estate managers globally with $152 billion of assets under management, announced this week the acquisition of two multifamily residential communities in the Clarkston submarket of Atlanta – Clarkston Station and Woodside Village (the "Properties"). The acquisition marks Jair Lynch's entrance into the Atlanta market as part of a larger expansion throughout the Southeast. The deals present an opportunity for Jair Lynch and Nuveen to improve and preserve over 700 units of housing while advancing their shared goals of uplifting and revitalizing communities through their investment in high-quality, sustainable neighborhood assets.
"With an incredibly diverse economy, a growing population, and job growth that continues to outpace the national average, Atlanta's demand for high-quality, affordable housing will continue to rise," said Ulysses Auger, Director of Acquisitions for Jair Lynch. "As an investor dedicated to preserving and increasing housing for working families and individuals, we look forward to meeting this important need and to making a positive impact throughout the region. This is just the start."
The acquisition encompasses Clarkston Station, a 356-unit community, and Woodside Village, a 360-unit community. The Properties currently operate under the Section 42 Low-Income Housing Tax Credit ("LIHTC") program with affordability restrictions through 2034 and 2036, respectively. As such, a collective 95% of the units will continue to serve individuals and families earning up to 60% Area Median Income ("AMI") for at least the next 12-14 years.
With convenient access to employment hubs along the Clifton Corridor and Emory's upcoming $1 billion Executive Park Redevelopment project, residents of both properties enjoy access to public transit, major retailers including Publix, The Home Depot, Northlake Mall, and many local and immigrant-owned businesses. Residents will also benefit from the highly anticipated $10 million Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) Clifton Corridor expansion, which will bring 11 additional stations to the Clarkston-Decatur area, increasing connectivity to jobs, education, health services, and retail throughout the greater Atlanta area.
Jair Lynch and Nuveen plan to introduce Cushman and Wakefield as the new property management company with a specific focus on resident services and community programming. As part of the business plan, they will address deferred maintenance and execute capital improvements including in-unit updates and upgrades to outdoor amenities including the clubhouses, playground equipment, grill stations, dog parks, and sustainable landscaping. Additional investment is also planned to improve the Properties' safety and security, including the addition of new lighting, gated front entrances, security cameras, and patrol services.
"Clarkston Station and Woodside Village are home to a large community of hardworking individuals and families including essential workers, first responders, educators, and more, who deserve quality, attainable housing options," said Mike Gilmartin, Senior Director of Impact Investing for Nuveen Real Estate. "We're proud to support resident well-being through sustainable improvements and robust resident services, and we look forward to executing the business plan with Jair Lynch."
Jair Lynch's attainable housing strategy aims to increase and preserve attainable housing for individuals and families earning between 30% and 120% of the area median income ("AMI"). With the addition of Clarkston Station and Woodside Village, Jair Lynch has now invested over $1.3 billion toward this initiative.
Paul Vetter of Berkadia served as seller's broker. Nixon Peabody served as purchaser's transaction counsel. CBRE provided financing for the transaction.
Jair Lynch Real Estate Partners is a leading real estate investment and development firm that specializes in the thoughtful transformation of walkable urban places. Founded in 1998, Jair Lynch has acquired, developed, and operated a portfolio of residential, commercial, and neighborhood assets that contribute to the company's mission of creating extraordinary places.

Fake News: Pakistan Army dismisses claims of its chopper shot down in Balochistan
Share
QUETTA – Pakistan Army official dismissed Baloch terror group’s claim of shooting down a military helicopter that went down during a flood relief operation on Monday, killing six on board including Commander 12 Corps Lt General Sarfraz Ali.
A senior military official trashed the claim as propaganda and fake news, clarifying to local media that the helicopter crashed during bad weather in the flood-hit region.
Pakistan Army official responded after Baloch Raaji Aajoi Sangar (BRAS), a Baloch terror group, said in a statement sent to a top one of the largest news agencies service that its fighters shot down the low-flying helicopter with an anti-aircraft weapon.
The terror outfit, however, provided no evidence and the newswire service said it could not independently verify the claim.
Several foreign-sponsored Baloch militants waged attacks on armed forces in the country’s southwestern region. Militants lately shot dead a kidnapped Lieutenant Colonel Laeeq Baig Mirza before troops could rescue him from the restive region.
Pakistan’s military media wing on Tuesday claimed to find the wreckage of a military helicopter that crashed overnight due to bad weather in flood-hit southwestern Baluchistan province, killing all six senior officers on board.
Lieutenant General Sarfraz Ali, Quetta corps commander, a major-general, and one brigadier were among the deceased.

▶ Watch Video: Primaries test Trump’s hold on Republican Party Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers, a Republican who testified at a House Jan. 6 committee hearing about former President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election, lost his bid in Tuesday’s GOP primary for a state Senate seat to a Trump-backed candidate, CBS News projects. Former state Sen. David Farnsworth was leading with 64% of the vote to Bowers’ 36% as of Wednesday morning, according to the Arizona secretary of state’s office. Trump supported Farnsworth in the race, and blasted Bowers as a “RINO coward” at a rally last month. Bowers testified on June 21 before the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. The hearing focused on a plan by Trump’s allies to put forward alternate electors that supported Trump in seven battleground states in the 2020 election that President Biden won, including Arizona. Bowers resisted that effort, telling the committee that the scheme to replace Mr. Biden’s electors with a fake slate for Trump was a “tragic parody.” Earlier this year, Bowers helped block a bill to empower the legislature to choose its own electors, regardless of how the people voted. Bowers has been a Republican for 30 years. But ahead of a visit by Trump to Arizona in July, the state Republican Party voted to censure him. Kelli Ward, chair of the Arizona GOP, announced the condemnation by the panel on Twitter, saying Bowers is “no longer a Republican in good standing & we call on Republicans to replace him at the ballot box in the August primary.” In an interview ahead of Tuesday’s primary, Bowers’ told CBS News’ Ed O’Keefe said he had heard from people who called the censure ahead of a visit by Trump “cheap theatrics.” But he admitted that the attacks hurt. “Sure it hurts, but knowing who they are, and the character that they’ve displayed over the last few years,” Bowers said. “It’s not like it’s a surprise.” Bowers testified that after Trump and his allies made baseless claims of voter fraud in Arizona and called to put forward fake electors, Trump supporters began descending on his neighborhood and family, claiming he was a pedophile and a corrupt politician. He said his family had begun to dread Saturdays, when the supporters descended on his neighborhood. “At the same time … we had a daughter who was gravely ill, who was upset by what was happening outside and my wife — that is a valiant person, very strong, quiet, very strong woman,” he said, growing emotional. “So it was disturbing.” Bowers’ daughter died in January 2021. | https://www.ktsa.com/arizona-house-speaker-who-testified-at-jan-6-hearing-loses-gop-primary/ | 2022-08-03T15:45:44Z | https://www.ktsa.com/arizona-house-speaker-who-testified-at-jan-6-hearing-loses-gop-primary/ | true | 3 |
Pilot Pen's STEM Authenticated™ Erasable FriXion ColorSticks invites pen users to help them support STEM education

Pilot is also encouraging consumers to join the movement and help generate "FriXion for Good" by writing and erasing with FriXion. Pilot invites FriXion fans to help achieve this goal and to get involved by sharing on Instagram how they use their FriXion pens and including #FriXionForGood. For each #FriXionForGood hashtag used in an in-feed post on Instagram and TikTok through November 8, 2022, Pilot will donate $5, up to an additional $10,000, for a total potential donation of $60,000 to Girls Who Code.
"At Pilot, we are passionate about STEM education, and are proud to be able to help empower STEM students. FriXion writes smoothly and the innovative, thermo-sensitive ink disappears from the page at 140 degrees Fahrenheit with the heat-generated from erasing friction," said Ariann Langsam, Vice President of Marketing for Pilot Pen. "So, if 7,143 people erase with FriXion pens and support #FriXionForGood, they will generate one million degrees for good in support of Girls Who Code."
In addition to the "FriXion for Good" campaign, Pilot also supports STEM education by providing a collection of free downloadable lesson plans developed in partnership with STEM.org. These lessons and accompanying demonstration videos are led by celebrated science educator and TikTok sensation, Phil Cook (@ChemTeacherPhil). They are designed to help bring STEM concepts to life in fun and engaging ways for students in grades K-12. The lesson plans empower educators and students to conduct STEM experiments on everything from thermo-sensitivity to covalent bonds in the classroom or at home utilizing FriXion's unique, thermo-sensitive erasable ink properties. FriXion is an economical and accessible way to bring STEM principles to life.
STEM education is an area of increasing focus among parents and educators, as competency in these areas are strong indicators of future career success. STEM education not only encourages analytical and critical thinking skills and provides the building blocks for innovation and creative problem-solving. Studies also show that kids who are exposed to STEM concepts from a young age are more likely to show interest in pursuing STEM careers. This is important as STEM-related jobs are projected to grow at a much higher rate than non-STEM jobs in the coming years.1
FriXion erasable products are available in a variety of styles and options, including capped and retractable gel pens, fine and bold point marker pens, as well as neon and pastel highlighters, with premium erasable products ideal for students and anyone who enjoys mistake free writing.
