MEXICO CITY (AP) — Nicaragua’s police said Friday they have begun an investigation against a Roman Catholic bishop who has been an outspoken critic of President Daniel Ortega’s government.
They accused Bishop Rolando Álvarez, leader of the Matagalpa diocese, of allegedly “organizing violent groups” and inciting them “to carry out acts of hate against the population.”
The police statement Friday said the investigation would include a number of people and warned that they would not be allowed to leave their homes while the investigation was carried out.
Álvarez had been inside his residence Thursday when police cordoned the area. Álvarez came out to pray in the street and approach them with an outstretched crucifix. Police blocked his attempt to go to the cathedral Friday so he instead celebrated Mass from home.
The police announced came just hours after first lady and Vice President Rosario Murillo criticized “sins against spirituality” and “the exhibition of hate” in an apparent reference to Álvarez.
Earlier, Wilfredo Navarro, a congressional leader for Ortega’s Sandinista National Liberation Front party, accused Álvarez of creating a media circus in front of police to “again incite violence and disorder.”
Navarro accused Álvarez and others of directing what Ortega and his party consider a failed coup attempt in April 2018. Navarro said the churches were “caves of delinquents and murderers” and that Álvarez is “transforming the church again into bases where they stockpile weapons and plan violence.”
He warned that Álvarez was not above the law.
The comments from Navarro and Murillo seemed to lay the groundwork for the police announcement late Friday of an investigation.
In his homily Friday, Álvarez said that he and others confined to his residence “have happiness in our hearts, interior strength and peace for our life.” Neither church leadership in Nicaragua nor the Vatican have commented on the situation this week.
This week, Ortega’s government closed eight radio stations and a television station in Matagalpa province north of Managua. Seven of the radio stations were run by the church. | https://www.thestar.com/news/world/americas/2022/08/05/nicaragua-police-investigating-bishop-critical-of-government.html | 2022-08-06T03:45:50Z | https://www.thestar.com/news/world/americas/2022/08/05/nicaragua-police-investigating-bishop-critical-of-government.html | false | 12 |

(The Hill) — More than 1,400 flights scheduled to take place Friday within, coming into or leaving the U.S. have been canceled, according to flight tracking website FlightAware, as airlines continue to struggle with timely departures this summer.
Along with 1,482 cancelations, airlines had more than 7,000 delays on Friday within, into or out of the U.S.
Among U.S. airlines, American Airlines had the most cancelations at 263 while Southwest was second with 193 cancelations.
Airlines have been struggling this summer with persistent cancellations and delays that have left customers and lawmakers frustrated.
Earlier this week, Democrats introduced the Cash Refunds for Flight Cancellations Act amid the flight disruptions.
The measure would require airlines to give customers cash refunds if their flights were canceled within 48 hours of their scheduled departure.
“Enough is enough: Travelers are sick of wasting their valuable time fighting the airlines to receive their legally-required cash refunds,” Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) said in a statement. “And they are tired of making flight reservations months in advance, only to face a health scare that forces them to choose between canceling a nonrefundable flight, or traveling and risking the health of their fellow passengers.”
The flight cancellations and delays come as the airline industry has seen a rebound from earlier in the pandemic, with people traveling in greater numbers again as pandemic restrictions and fears ease in the U.S. | https://www.khon2.com/news/national/over-1400-us-flights-canceled-friday/ | 2022-08-06T04:00:31Z | https://www.khon2.com/news/national/over-1400-us-flights-canceled-friday/ | true | 12 |

Mother Throws Daughter From 4th Floor in Bengaluru, Video Viral
A woman can be seen throwing her four-year-old daughter from the fourth floor of an apartment. The incident took place at an apartment complex in Sampangiramanagar of Bengaluru on Thursday. The video of the woman doing the act went viral.
According to the police, the woman is a dentist and her husband is a software engineer. They got married 12 years ago. The four-year-old girl was hearing and speech impaired. A complaint was filed by her husband and the woman was arrested.
"Some neighbours heard the cries of the child and rushed for help. They pulled her back and informed the police. The child who had crashed on the ground was rushed to a private hospital and then to NIMHANS, where she succumbed to her injuries," deputy commissioner of police (Central) R Srinivas Gowda said.
He said, "We have booked her under section 302 of the Indian Penal Code for murder. She was produced before the court and has been sent to judicial custody."
The DCP said that in the preliminary investigation, the woman had left her child on a train. The husband then brought the child back home with the help of child helpline members but didn’t file a complaint against her.

Development plans have been announced for an oilfield in the North Sea that could produce almost 70,000 barrels per day at its peak.
Norwegian state-controlled Equinor said it wants to take forward the Rosebank field — which is north-west of the Shetland island archipelago — with the "lowest possible carbon footprint".
Industry body Offshore Energies UK said it would benefit UK energy security and the Scottish economy, but environmental campaigners claim it would be a "total betrayal" of climate goals if the UK Government approves the project.
Uplift, which campaigns for a fossil fuel-free UK, said the Rosebank field would be twice the size of the controversial Cambo development, also north-west of Shetland.
Environmental groups object to Cambo over carbon emissions and the marine damage campaigners say a pipeline would cause.
Uplift also claimed investing in Rosebank would reduce the amount Equinor has to pay under the UK government's windfall tax on energy companies.
Equinor said a final investment decision on Rosebank could happen in 2023, with the next steps for the project including obtaining the necessary consents.
But Uplift director Tessa Khan said: "Rosebank will mean a massive transfer of wealth from the British people to one of the richest petrostates in the world.
"Approving Rosebank would be a total betrayal of both the government's climate goals and the British public who face a severe recession while oil and gas companies make outrageous profits."
Equinor, however, said research shows that over its lifetime Rosebank could generate £24.1 billion of gross value add.
It added that if production starts in 2026, from then to 2030 the field could account for 8 per cent of the UK's total oil production, while natural gas from the site could be the equivalent of the daily average use of a city the size of Aberdeen.
Rosebank at its peak could produce 69,000 barrels of oil a day, OEUK said, along with about 44 million cubic feet of gas per day in its first 10 years.
Equinor senior vice president Arne Gurtner said the company is "committed to net-zero by 2050 and is ready to invest to bring energy security while also transitioning to lower-carbon energy sources over the coming years".
"Here in the UK, we are building the world's largest wind farm, Dogger Bank, and are planning some of the largest hydrogen and CCS [carbon capture and storage] projects in the world," Mr Gurtner said.
"That said, for the next few decades oil and gas will continue to play a vital role alongside these low-carbon systems.
"Therefore, while we still need oil and gas, we aim to develop and operate projects such as Rosebank with the lowest possible carbon footprint while bringing the maximum value to society in the shape of UK investment, local jobs and energy security."
Greenpeace to fight Rosebank
But Philip Evans of Greenpeace UK said: "This is what happens when the government helps out oil companies with cushy tax breaks.
"If Rosebank goes ahead, it will do nothing to help drivers or households with rising costs, because the oil doesn't belong to the UK and goes to a global market."
Greenpeace is already bringing a legal challenge over the planned Jackdaw development in the North Sea.
"We will fight Rosebank every step of the way, and urge the government to crack on with quick, cheap solutions that will actually help in the cost-of-living crisis and the climate emergency — renewables, home insulation and heat pumps," Mr Evans said.
Scottish Green MSP Mark Ruskell said it is the "height of irresponsibility to be developing new oil and gas fields in the face of the climate emergency".
"Scotland has massive renewable energy potential," he said.
"The UK government's failure to invest in this, and instead double-down on oil and gas, is a sad inditement of its priorities which focus on short-term profits over the wellbeing of future generations." | https://www.thenationalnews.com/business/energy/2022/08/05/equinor-says-controversial-rosebank-oilfield-will-have-lowest-possible-carbon-footprint/ | 2022-08-06T04:11:25Z | https://www.thenationalnews.com/business/energy/2022/08/05/equinor-says-controversial-rosebank-oilfield-will-have-lowest-possible-carbon-footprint/ | true | 3 |
Over the past few days, the world nervously awaited China's translation of what its "dire consequences" might be in response to US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan.
On Friday (Aug 5), the Chinese foreign ministry announced that Beijing would "adopt sanctions on Pelosi and her immediate family members in accordance with relevant laws of the People's Republic of China".
But what was meant to be taken as a serious punitive measure was turned into a joke by many who were left curious about what the real-life implications of these sanctions would be.
When asked what the family's response was, Pelosi's grandson Paul Vos said in an email: "Am I supposed to be scared? What are they going to do? Cancel my TikTok? For the record, I am not even on TikTok!"
The snarky sentiment was also shared by social media users.
"Speaker Nancy Pelosi forced to cancel much anticipated family holiday to Wuhan due to sanctions," quipped Twitter user @Andre3001.
Another user, @TheBanyTeam, wrote: "Which means China ain't so serious about Taiwan. I thought China will at least attack US base and pretend it was a mistake."
China called Pelosi's visit a "serious violation" of its territorial integrity as it claims Taiwan as its own.
The Chinese military has been conducting live-fire exercises around Taiwan since Wednesday, when Pelosi departed for South Korea after less than 24 hours in Taipei.
So far, Beijing has not shared further details about what the "unspecified" sanctions against Pelosi and her family might be.

North Korea calls Pelosi ‘destroyer of international peace’
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea on Saturday called U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi “the worst destroyer of international peace and stability,” accusing her of inciting anti-North Korea sentiment and enraging China during her Asian tour earlier this week.
Pelosi traveled to South Korea after visiting Taiwan, which had prompted China to launch military exercises including missile strike training in waters near the self-governed island. China views Taiwan as part of its own territory to be annexed by force if necessary.
While in South Korea, Pelosi visited a border area with North Korea and discussed the North’s nuclear program with South Korean National Assembly Speaker Kim Jin Pyo. According to Kim, the two agreed to support their governments’ push for denuclearization and peace on the Korean Peninsula based on strong, extended deterrence against the North and diplomacy.
On Saturday, Jo Yong Sam, director general at the North Korean Foreign Ministry’s press and information affairs department, slammed Pelosi over her visit to the border and discussion of anti-North Korean deterrence.
“Pelosi who had come under a volley of due criticism from China for destroying regional peace and stability by visiting Taiwan, stirred up the atmosphere of confrontation” with North Korea during her stay in South Korea, Jo said in a statement carried by state media.
Calling Pelosi “the worst destroyer of international peace and stability,” Jo argued Pelosi’s behavior in South Korea clearly showed the Biden administration’s hostile policy toward North Korea.
“It would be a fatal mistake for her to think that she can go scot-free in the Korean Peninsula,” Jo warned. “The U.S. will have to pay dearly for all the sources of trouble spawned by her wherever she went.”
Pelosi’s visit to the Joint Security Area at the Korean border on Thursday made her the highest-profile American to go there since then-President Donald Trump visited in 2019 for a meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
Located inside the world’s most heavily fortified border, the area is jointly controlled by the American-led United Nations Command and North Korea. U.S. presidents and other top officials have previously traveled to the area to reaffirm their security commitment to South Korea in times of animosities with North Korea.
During her JSA visit, Pelosi didn’t make any strong public statements against North Korea. She uploaded several photos from the JSA on Twitter and wrote: “We conveyed the gratitude of the Congress and the Country for the patriotic service of our servicemembers, who stand as sentinels of Democracy on the Korean Peninsula.”
Tensions on the Korean Peninsula remain high following North Korea’s torrid run of missile tests earlier this year. U.S. and South Korean officials said North Korea is ready to carry out its first nuclear weapons test in five years.
North Korea has said it would not return to denuclearization talks and instead focus on expanding its nuclear program unless the United States drops its hostile policies, in an apparent reference to U.S.-led international sanctions on the North and its regular military drills with South Korea.
After Pelosi visited Taiwan and reaffirmed Washington’s commitment to defending democracy on the self-governing island, North Korea on Wednesday issued a statement berating the U.S. and supporting China, its main ally and biggest aid benefactor.
Pelosi was the the first House speaker to visit Taiwan in 25 years.

BCE Q2 Earnings & Revenues Surpass Estimates, Rise Y/Y
BCE Inc. BCE reported second-quarter 2022 adjusted earnings per share of C$0.87 (68 cents) compared with C$0.83 in the prior-year quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the same was pegged at 65 cents.
Quarterly total operating revenues moved up 2.9% year over year to C$5,861 million ($4,593 million). The consensus estimate was pegged at $4,530 million. This was driven by a 3.8% rise in service revenues, which totaled C$5,233 million, reflecting solid wireless, residential Internet and media growth. Product revenues declined 4.6% to C$628 million, owing to reduced mobile device transactions and business wireline data equipment sales.
Significant broadband investments, 5G network acceleration program and an increase in mobile phone blended ARPU bolstered the company’s operating momentum.

Segmental Results
Bell Wireless’ operating revenues increased 5.5% year over year to C$2,246 million, driven by strong service revenue growth and higher year-over-year revenues from international roaming. This was partly offset by lower year-over-year product revenues. Product revenues were down 0.9% to C$543 million.
Service revenues jumped 7.8% to C$1,703 million, driven by growth in mobile phone and connected device subscriber bases; and higher blended mobile phone average revenue per user due to easing covid restrictions and rising international roaming revenue.
This reflects a reduction in sales transaction volumes attributable to longer handset lifecycles and a high mix of pre-owned device customer activations. Bell Wireless added 110,761 post-paid and prepaid mobile phone subscribers compared with 46,247 in the second quarter of 2021.
Bell Wireline revenues decreased 0.3% to C$2,995. Wireline service revenues increased 0.6% to C$2,909 million. The uptick was driven mainly by higher residential Internet revenues, partly offset by continued declines in legacy voice, data and satellite TV services, lower sales of IP connectivity and business service solutions; and partly due to large enterprise customers deferring project spending due to the COVID-related disruptions and the sale of Createch on Mar 1, 2022.
Product revenues fell 23.2% to C$86 million mainly due to lower sales of data equipment to enterprise business customers resulting from delayed spending from the pandemic-induced supply-chain disruptions.
Bell Media generated revenues of C$821 million, up 8.7% year over year. The rise was driven by higher subscriber revenues and increased TV advertiser spending.
Other Details
Adjusted EBITDA in the reported quarter was C$2,590 million, up 4.6% year over year. The rise was driven by an increase of 8.3% in wireless, 1.7% in wireline segments and 5.6% in media. The adjusted EBITDA margin was 44.2% compared with 43.5% in the prior-year quarter.
Cash Flow
BCE generated C$2,597 million of cash from operating activities compared with C$2,499 million in the prior-year quarter. Free cash flow was C$1,333 million compared with C$1,245 million a year ago due to higher cash flows from operating activities.
2022 Outlook
BCE issued the financial guidance for 2022. It expects revenue growth between 1% and 5% and adjusted EBITDA between 2% and 5%. Adjusted earnings per share are estimated to grow 2-7%. Free cash flow growth is projected to be 2-10%. Annualized common dividend per share is estimated to be C$3.68.

China has decided to cut diplomatic ties with the US in a number of military and civilian areas, the Foreign Ministry announced on Friday. The devolvement of ties is Beijing’s way of retaliating for this week’s visit to Taiwan by Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi.
The ministry released a list of areas in which there will no longer be communication between Chinese and American officials. It includes military contacts on the level of theater commander and wider defense policy coordination talks. Also suspended are consultations on maritime security, cooperation on the repatriation of illegal migrants, legal assistance on criminal matters, fighting against transnational crime and drug trafficking, and talks on climate change, according to the statement.
Earlier on Friday, the Chinese Foreign Ministry announced personal sanctions on Pelosi and her immediate family members.
Pelosi visited Taiwan this week despite repeated objections from Beijing. The self-governed island is claimed as part of China, with the US formally acknowledging the One-China policy since the 1970s.
Washington maintained informal ties with Taipei even after switching diplomatic recognition to Beijing. Over the past several years, subsequent American administrations have increasingly treated Taiwan’s government as representing a sovereign nation. Beijing says Washington is deliberately undermining the status quo and encouraging separatism in Taiwan.
While the White House tried to distance itself from Pelosi, claiming it was her independent decision to visit Taiwan, officials in Beijing took it as part of a perceived policy to undermine its claim, and threatened consequences.
China’s People’s Liberation Army launched major exercises around the island, which Chinese media described as a rehearsal of a full blockade. Beijing also introduced trade restrictions on Taiwan. | https://fromthetrenchesworldreport.com/china-cuts-ties-with-us-on-critical-issues/305456 | 2022-08-06T04:23:18Z | https://fromthetrenchesworldreport.com/china-cuts-ties-with-us-on-critical-issues/305456 | true | 2 |
Iraqi cleric's loyalists hold mass prayer in Baghdad's Green Zone

Baghdad, Aug 6 Supporters of influential Iraqi cleric Moqtada al-Sadr held mass prayers in Baghdads fortified Green Zone, in a show of force that aims to push for early parliamentary elections.
According to participants, hundreds of thousands of people took part in the Friday prayers, gathering under temperatures of more than 40 degrees Celsius, reports dpa news agency.
On Wednesday, al-Sadr had called for early parliamentary elections and told his loyalists to continue their protest sit-in in the Green Zone.
"Iraq has become a prisoner of corruption," cleric Mohannad al-Mousawi told worshippers at the prayers, and reiterated al-Sadr's demands.
Parliamentary Speaker Mohammad al-Halbousi also said he supports calls for early parliamentary and local elections.
The protests are the latest escalation in Iraq's political deadlock over naming a new Prime Minister following the October parliamentary elections.
Protests erupted as al-Sadr rejected the nomination for premier put forward by his rival, the Coordination Framework political alliance.
The nominee, former Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, is seen as close to al-Sadr's adversary, the Iran-backed former premier Nouri al-Maliki.
Al-Maliki is the leader of the State of Law coalition, which is a major force in the Coordination Framework.
Earlier on Friday, UN special envoy for Iraq, Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, met al-Sadr, where they discussed "the importance of finding solutions to the many challenges facing Iraq".

EXPLAINER: Why the term ‘genocide’ matters in Ukraine war
WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Joe Biden declares Russia’s Ukraine war “genocide,” it isn’t just another strong word. Calling a campaign that’s aimed at wiping out a targeted group “genocide” not only increases pressure on a country to act, it can oblige it to. That’s partly because of a genocide treaty approved by the U.N. General Assembly after World War II, signed by the United States and more than 150 other nations. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2689967859617/tx-shreveport-la-zone-forecast | 2022-08-06T04:29:14Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2689967859617/tx-shreveport-la-zone-forecast | false | 12721 |

Taiwan defence ministry says China simulating attack on its main island
Taiwan's military said that the Chinese planes and ships operating in the Taiwan Strait are believed to be simulating an attack on its main island, reported AFP.
Taiwan's defence ministry said in a statement that the forces "detected multiple batches of Communist planes and ships conducting activities around the Taiwan Strait, some of which crossed the median line. They were judged to be conducting a simulation of an attack on Taiwan's main island."
“Possible simulated attack against HVA. #ROCArmedForces have utilized alert broadcast, aircraft in CAP, patrolling naval vessels, and land-based missile systems in response to this situation,” the ministry tweeted.
China's aggressive posturing against the neighbouring island comes in the wake of US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's recent Taiwan trip which left Beijing fuming. It retaliated by imposing trade ban on Taiwan for certain items and announced sanctions against Pelosi and her immediate family. It also cancelled talks with Washington on defence, climate change and a range of other issues.
As a part of its most provocative military drills in decades, China reportedly flew seven drones over restricted waters surrounding Taiwan's outer islands and fired missiles over the island of 23 million people. Taiwan's defence ministry said that 49 PLA aircraft, including J-10, J-11, J-16, and SU-30 flew on the east part of the median line of the Taiwan Strait on Friday.
The ministry stated the drills aimed at changing the status quo of Taiwan Strait violated the island's sovereignty and caused tension in the Indo-Pacific region. He asserted that the Taiwanese forces don't seek escalation but won't succumb to challenges and “respond with reason.”

DAVE DAVIES, HOST:
This is FRESH AIR. The first new Beyonce studio album in six years is here and it's called "Renaissance." The pop star says the 16 tracks were recorded during the pandemic. Our rock critic, Ken Tucker, says while the music is dense with allusions to different eras of pop music, Beyonce's performances have a lightness and agility that gives the project an often thrilling energy. Here's Ken's review.
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "BREAK MY SOUL")
BEYONCE: (Singing) You won't break my soul. You won't break my soul. You won't break my soul. You won't break my soul. I'm telling everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody. Now, I just fell in love. And I just quit my job. I'm gonna find new drive. Damn, they work me so damn hard. Work by nine, then off past 5. And they work my nerves. That's why I cannot sleep at night.
KEN TUCKER, BYLINE: That's "Break My Soul," the first single from Beyonce's new album, "Renaissance." "Break My Soul" was released a few weeks before the album, and with its lyric about escaping the deadening drudgery of 9-5 work was widely interpreted as Beyonce's take on the pandemic-inspired great resignation. Little did we know that what was to follow was a whole album about the freedom of escapism.
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "ALIEN SUPERSTAR")
BEYONCE: (Singing) I'm one of one. I'm No. 1. I'm the only one. Don't even waste your time trying to compete with me. No one else in this world can think like me. I'm twisted. I'll contradict it. Keep him addicted. Lies on his lips, I lick it. Unique. That's what you are. Stilettos kicking vintage crystal off the bar. Category - bad - I'm the bar. Alien superstar. Whip, whip. I'm too classy for this world, forever, I'm that girl. Feed you diamonds and pearls, oh, baby. I'm too classy...
TUCKER: That's "Alien Superstar," over whose clattering beats Beyonce applies a layer of her patented positive thinking, only half joking that she's, quote, "too classy for this world." "Alien Superstar" gives you an idea of the way many songs here are constructed around rhythms and riffs that pulse and throb while Beyonce's vocal soars atop the music. The best example of this is the album's longest track called "Virgo's Groove," as Beyonce croons over a languid, sneaky beat.
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "VIRGO'S GROOVE")
BEYONCE: (Singing) Baby, come over. Come be alone with me tonight. All the emotions. It's washing over me tonight. Right here. Right now. Iced up. Bite down. Baby, lock in right now. I want it right here, right now. Cuddled up on the couch. Motorboat, baby, spin around. Slow-mo coming out my house. I want it right here, right now.
TUCKER: At 6-minutes-plus, "Virgo's Groove" is at once very contemporary and very 1980s. Its sound owes something to the Michael Jackson-Quincy Jones albums of that era. And its hypnotic hook reminds me of Lakeside's great 1980 hit "Fantastic Voyage." Now listen to the way Beyonce rolls it back further to the '70s and nods to Donna Summer's "I Feel Love" on the song "Summer Renaissance."
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "SUMMER RENAISSANCE")
BEYONCE: (Singing) It's so good. It's so good. It's so good. It's so good. Oh, it's so good. It's so good. It's so good. It's so good. It's so good.
TUCKER: Elsewhere on "Renaissance," Beyonce offers the song "Cuff it," a thick slice of R&B that recalls Funkadelic's "Not Just Knee Deep." And on another standout track, "Move," she enlists dance music pioneer Grace Jones with some emphasis on Detroit techno music.
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "MOVE")
BEYONCE: (Singing) Move, move, move. Yeah, you got to move, move. Anything you do will be held against you. You have to move, move, move. Skrrt (ph) off, make room. Stampede coming through. Big boss on the move. Yeah. Bounce it.
TUCKER: There are some breathtaking moments on "Renaissance," which are all the more impressive for the way Beyonce delivers them so casually. Listen to the way she almost buries this gorgeously fluid burst of phrasing toward the end of the song "Pure Honey." Lesser artists would build a whole hit single around a verse that Beyonce just tosses off.
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "PURE HONEY")
BEYONCE: (Singing) You know it's Friday night, and I'm ready to drive. Throw me them keys. Baby, let's go. Friday night and I'm ready to drive. Throw me them keys. Baby, let's go. We jump in the car, quarter tank of gas. World's at war, low on cash. Jump in the car, quarter tank of gas, world's at war, low on cash. I ain't never felt a feeling like this. You been in love but not like this. Sweet honey sin, taste it on your lips. Up and down on it, light switch.
TUCKER: Except for the song titled "America Has A Problem" and a fleeting reference to the electoral defeat of Donald Trump, there's little of the social commentary that was laced through her previous album, 2016's "Lemonade." But the escapist aesthetic of "Renaissance" is its own kind of statement. Beyonce's way of asserting the primacy of Black musical forms throughout American pop history. And "Renaissance" places Beyonce at the very center of pop music right now.
DAVIES: Rock critic Ken Tucker reviewed Beyonce's new album called "Renaissance." On Monday's show, actor Melanie Lynskey. She's nominated for an Emmy for her leading role in the Showtime series "Yellowjackets." The show tells the story of a girls soccer team that went down in a plane crash in 1996 and had to survive in the wilderness for over a year. Lewinsky's other films include "Heavenly Creatures," "Up In The Air," "The Informant" and "Don't Look Up." I hope you can join us.

Century Casinos (CNTY) Q2 Earnings Surpass Estimates
Century Casinos (CNTY) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.28 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.22 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.22 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of 27.27%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this casino operator would post earnings of $0.11 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.01, delivering a surprise of -90.91%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.
Century Casinos
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Century Casinos shares have lost about 29% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's decline of -12.9%.
What's Next for Century Casinos?
While Century Casinos has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Century Casinos: favorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to outperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.24 on $114.13 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $0.66 on $442.6 million in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Gaming is currently in the bottom 31% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
Another stock from the same industry, Elys Game Technology, Corp. (ELYS), has yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2022.
This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.09 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +30.8%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
Elys Game Technology, Corp.'s revenues are expected to be $14.02 million, up 19.9% from the year-ago quarter.

It's one of the few TikTok trends we had to jump on and give it a little Hudson Valley twist.
If you've been on social media the last few weeks you might have seen a rating system being thrown around. For example, the rating statement would start with he or she and then continue "are a (number 1 through 10) BUT..." and you have to fill in the blank. Then another person will respond with either a higher or lower number than you gave them.
So here are some examples that I've seen on TikTok, Instagram and Twitter:
He's a 4, but he's 6 foot. (Many replied that he is now a 10.)
She's a 7, but she cooks. (Apparently, guys love this and it makes her a 10.)
He's a 10, but he doesn't have social media. (According to some, this is a red flag and drops him down to a 5).
I don't make the rules, but we thought we would have some fun and put a Hudson Valley Spin on it. So we came up with a few of our own:
She's a 4 but can get you free ice cream/coffee at Stewart's. (She's a 10.)
He's a 10, but he likes weaving in and out of traffic on Route 9 in Poughkeepsie during Rush Hour. (He's a 2.)
She's a 10 but doesn't like going to Rossi's Deli. (She's a 0.)
Remeber this is all in good fun. So we want to know what are your Hudson Valley Ratings. Text us and let us know!
If you need some inspiration here are a few submissions from this morning:

ROBERT SIEGEL, host:
This is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Robert Siegel.
Journalist Hugh Pope is Istanbul bureau chief for The Wall Street Journal. That places him in the biggest, most cosmopolitan city of modern Turkey. It also places him in the western end of a stretch of countries and regions from Southern Europe to Western China where the people are Turkic. Hugh Pope writes about some of those countries and the people who are called `sons of the conquerors.' That's the title of his book. It is about the Turks, a family of peoples who Hugh Pope says can be described in different ways.
Mr. HUGH POPE (Author, "Sons of the Conquerors"): There's many ways to cut the cake. The Turkic world is basically a group of languages, which is about 140 million people. The main countries, though, that could be described as Turkic-majority states are six: There's Turkey, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and the Kyrgyz Republic.
SIEGEL: All but Turkey formerly Soviet republics.
Mr. POPE: Yes. And Turkey's system of administration, of course, in the old days was a single-party state, so their cultural and their political background is not completely different from the other Turkish states.
SIEGEL: Apart from distant roots in the steppes of Asia, what do all of these countries have in common?
Mr. POPE: I think it's an informal thing rather than any political or ideological thing. It was the sum total of various things. Like, I felt there was an opportunistic genius in the way people behaved. I found the physical similarities, I found cultural similarities and, of course, linguistic similarities. And it's quite an amazing thing for someone like myself, who had learned Turkish in Istanbul, and I take a flight six hours east to Urumqi in China, get out of the plane and, with very little preparation, can speak to people in the street.
SIEGEL: You're speaking, in that case, to people who were members of the Uighur minority.
Mr. POPE: That's correct, yes, the Uighurs of Xinjiang, about eight million people in that territory, which is one-sixth of China's landmass. And there's still half of the population there, although, of course, a drop in the ocean of Han Chinese in the whole of China.
SIEGEL: Nothing sums up the problematic self-image of the Turks than the story of the word `Turk' itself, which is--which didn't mean the same thing a hundred years ago that it means today. And there are all kinds of connotations that we would consider, both negative and not descriptive, of the people who live in Turkey.
Mr. POPE: It's an extremely complicated word, many things bundled up into it. But one thing that we tend to forget about the word `Turk' is that a thousand years ago, it was already being used in Central Asia to define the joint characteristics of the various different Turkic groups and tribes. And it has its deep-rooted legitimacy in the eyes--in Turkish. Now, of course, over the centuries, it became diluted and especially in the Ottoman Empire, where the Ottoman court developed a different culture and--initially based on Persian culture and then later based on French culture in their government.
SIEGEL: And the Ottoman gentlemen would regard a Turk as some kind of rube who lived out in the countryside.
Mr. POPE: Precisely. And that's also the case in countries like Iran today, where any Persian's reaction to the idea of a Turk is Turkish donkey. You see it on the Web sites, you see it in literature and it's because the Turks, as Turks, are uneducated. That culture has never been developed. But now with six different independent states all trying to create new Turkic identities--I call them Turkic; they would call it Uzbek or Turkman, but it is Turkic. And even if you ask someone like President Nazarbayev, `What are you?' and his first answer's...
SIEGEL: He of Kazakhstan.
Mr. POPE: Yeah, the president of Kazakhstan. He says, `I am a Turk.' And you look at him slightly oddly because Turk now means a citizen of Turkey. He says, `No, not like that. We sent armies from here 500 years ago, a thousand years ago, to conquer Turkey. They married the local population, and now they're called Turkey. But the real Turks are still here in Central Asia, and it's us.'
SIEGEL: Well, the breakup of the Soviet Union has seemed to signal the start of another round of, well, what was once known as the `great game': Whose influence would prevail in this stretch of countries? Would it be Russian? Would it be Iranian? Would it be Saudi? Would it be American? Would it be Turkish? How are the Turks doing?
Mr. POPE: Politically, not a high profile at the moment. I think the big change from a century ago--the great game you refer to when the Russian Empire and the British Empire famously competed--is that the local states now mean something. In the old days, no one really paid much attention to the Kazakh Hans or the Uzbek tyrants that they met there. But now these countries have their own identities. They've managed to find a way of balancing themselves between the great players of Russia, China. So I think that that has changed, that the great game is a somewhat more complex game in which the Turkic countries and Turkic peoples have more space.
But having said that, Turkey enters--it enters, by its own desire, a step back from having a strong political big brother role. It wasn't wanted, and it caused problem. Turkey's completely eclipsed Iran and those countries because of simple matters of commerce. Turkish businessmen are the single biggest community of businessmen in any of these Turkic capitals.
SIEGEL: Turkey, until a couple of centuries ago, was a great imperial power; had controlled the Balkans, a good deal of Southeastern Europe and lots of other lands, the Middle East, and finally was reduced, after the First World War, to its current state, the rump state of Turkey. You observe at some point it is not unusual to talk with Turks about the decline, the sense of, `What's wrong here?' This is a preoccupation in Turkish discourse.
Mr. POPE: Yes. There's a sense of inferiority and a sense of--that the world has turned against them. In fact, the last two centuries have seen rather less than conquests; it's mainly seen Turks being turfed out of the bases that they conquered, and that's one of the reasons that Turkey has been such a defensive kind of country and perhaps even a militarist kind of country in a defensive way but prickly and worried about losing more territory, being divided up. I think America is suffering from this right now because the Turks are convinced that America is trying to create an independent Kurdistan in Iraq, and they see that as an extension of the European 19th-century efforts to divide the Ottoman Empire.
So, yes, they do remember that very clearly. And you see it, too, in the Turkic world. Azerbaijan obviously lost territory in Nagorno-Karabakh to Armenia, and that memory is a very live one and influences the way Turks view the world now.
SIEGEL: Mm-hmm. That the West, given a chance, will hive off lands off of what Turks regards as theirs.
Mr. POPE: Indeed, yes. And historically ,that has been the trend.
SIEGEL: Well, Hugh Pope, thank you very much for talking with us today.
Mr. POPE: Thank you.
SIEGEL: Hugh Pope is the author of "Sons of the Conquerors: The Rise of the Turkic World."

There are only 1,130 nightclubs left in the UK according to new figures - with a handful still open in Reading. Hundreds of clubs across the UK have shut for the last time following the Covid-19 pandemic.
This includes quite a few in Reading, which for many people in Berkshire, is the only place to go for a night out. Figures from the Night Time Industries Association (NTIA) have shown that one in five nightclubs have closed over the past three years.
With an amalgamation of pandemic debt, increasing energy bills, employment challenges, supply chain issues, and product cost increases, a lot of businesses are feeling the pinch. According to NTIA 'operating cost pressures coupled with consumers with less disposable income have seen the early stages of a recession with slowing ticket sales and visitor frequency'.
READ MORE: 10 things you'll only know if you live in Reading
Michael Kill CEO of NTIA explained: “Late night economy businesses were one of the quickest sectors to rebound during the financial crash many years ago, harbouring an abundance of resilience and entrepreneurial spirit. It’s without a doubt that these businesses, particularly nightclubs, have a huge part to play in the regeneration of high streets in towns and cities across the UK.
“The Government needs to recognise the economic, cultural, and community value of clubs and the wider night-time economy. We must protect these businesses, using every means possible, and recognise their importance before it’s too late."
They went on to say: "Every single town has a lost nightclub they feel very strongly about, that was part of our history and our heritage” With this in mind, we've come up with a list of some of the best nightclubs in Reading that have closed in recent years. You can read more about them below.
After Dark had been one of Reading's longest-running night-time venues. The club had initially opened in 1973 and offered a variety of different music nights from techno, disco, 80's pop and more.
The club's license was revoked in 2019 following noise complaints from people who lived in London Street. In 2021 High Wycombe Magistrates Court ruled that the club would be unable to reopen to the public.
Matchbox
Matchbox seemed to close sometime in 2020/2021. The venue’s licence holder, Greene King had closed the bar for a while after a fight broke out on December 7.
The club was located at 5-6 Friar Street on Reading high street and has now been replaced by Neighbourhood. The venue was quite small and featured a small smoking area at the top of the stairs.
Coalition
Coalition closed sometime in 2018. The club was located above Smash, which was a ping pong bar that is now also closed.
Situated at 5-6 Gun Street, the building was once home to another nightclub called Sakura. People used to love to go to Coalition for its drum and bass nights.
Public
Public used to occupy 11 Castle Street which now houses a Brewdog. The nightclub's last ever social media post is from December 2017 suggesting it must have closed shortly after.
People remember Public for its LGBT+-friendly Thursday club nights and its 'Skint Mondays' where grime, hip hop, and RnB would play.

Manchester City’s Stance Over Cucurella is Right
Other clubs take note - the days of being held to ransom for players is over and City’s stance on the Marc Cucurella deal is evidence of that. The blues valued the Brighton defender at nothing more than £40m, yet Brighton were holding out for £50m+ for a defender that has spent one season in the Premier League. And City’s decision to walk away from a deal was correct.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea on Saturday called U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi “the worst destroyer of international peace and stability,” accusing her of inciting anti-North Korea sentiment and enraging China during her Asian tour earlier this week.
Pelosi traveled to South Korea after visiting Taiwan, which had prompted China to launch military exercises including missile strike training in waters near the self-governed island. China views Taiwan as part of its own territory to be annexed by force if necessary.
While in South Korea, Pelosi visited a border area with North Korea and discussed the North’s nuclear program with South Korean National Assembly Speaker Kim Jin Pyo. According to Kim, the two agreed to support their governments’ push for denuclearization and peace on the Korean Peninsula based on strong, extended deterrence against the North and diplomacy.
On Saturday, Jo Yong Sam, director general at the North Korean Foreign Ministry’s press and information affairs department, slammed Pelosi over her visit to the border and discussion of anti-North Korean deterrence.
“Pelosi, who had come under a volley of due criticism from China for destroying regional peace and stability by visiting Taiwan, stirred up the atmosphere of confrontation” with North Korea during her stay in South Korea, Jo said in a statement carried by state media.
Calling Pelosi “the worst destroyer of international peace and stability,” Jo argued Pelosi’s behavior in South Korea clearly showed the Biden administration’s hostile policy toward North Korea.
“It would be a fatal mistake for her to think that she can go scot-free in the Korean Peninsula,” Jo warned. “The U.S. will have to pay dearly for all the sources of trouble spawned by her wherever she went.”
Pelosi’s visit to the Joint Security Area at the Korean border on Thursday made her the highest-profile American to go there since then-President Donald Trump visited in 2019 for a meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
Located inside the world’s most heavily fortified border, the area is jointly controlled by the American-led United Nations Command and North Korea. U.S. presidents and other top officials have previously traveled to the area to reaffirm their security commitment to South Korea in times of animosities with North Korea.
During her JSA visit, Pelosi didn’t make any strong public statements against North Korea. She uploaded several photos from the JSA on Twitter and wrote: “We conveyed the gratitude of the Congress and the Country for the patriotic service of our servicemembers, who stand as sentinels of Democracy on the Korean Peninsula.”
Pelosi said in a separate statement that she and Kim, the South Korean parliamentary speaker, reaffirmed “our commitment to the U.S.-Korea alliance to advance security, strengthen our supply chains, and increase trade and investments that are beneficial to both our nations.”
Tensions on the Korean Peninsula remain high following North Korea’s torrid run of missile tests earlier this year. U.S. and South Korean officials said North Korea is ready to carry out its first nuclear weapons test in five years.
North Korea has said it would not return to denuclearization talks and instead focus on expanding its nuclear program unless the United States drops its hostile policies, in an apparent reference to U.S.-led international sanctions on the North and its regular military drills with South Korea.
After Pelosi visited Taiwan and reaffirmed Washington’s commitment to defending democracy on the self-governing island, North Korea on Wednesday issued a statement berating the U.S. and supporting China, its main ally and biggest aid benefactor.
Pelosi was the the first House speaker to visit Taiwan in 25 years. | https://www.wwlp.com/news/ap-international-news/north-korea-calls-pelosi-destroyer-of-international-peace/ | 2022-08-06T05:55:04Z | https://www.wwlp.com/news/ap-international-news/north-korea-calls-pelosi-destroyer-of-international-peace/ | false | 43 |

World football’s governing body FIFA and Asian Football Confederation (AFC) have threatened to impose a ban on India, as well as the withdrawal of hosting rights for the upcoming U-17 Women’s World Cup, for ‘alleged deviations’ from the roadmap agreed to conduct the All India Football Federation (AIFF) elections.
In a letter to acting AIFF general secretary Sunando Dhar, accessed by The Indian Express, FIFA general secretary Fatma Samoura and her AFC counterpart Windsor John have demanded an ‘official transcript of the Supreme Court’s decision on August 3’. The apex court, in its ruling, had directed the Committee of Administrators in charge of AIFF to expeditiously conduct elections but added that the elected committee would be an interim body, which would continue for a period of three months.
Expressing their displeasure, FIFA and AFC wrote in their letter on Friday: “As per the said roadmap, the AIFF was to call for special general assembly in first week of August 2022 to approve new statutes worked upon with FIFA, the AFC and the Indian football community.”
The letter added: “Unfortunately, we have been informed that Supreme Court’s hearing held yesterday on the situation of the AIFF allegedly resulted in deviations from aforementioned roadmap. If this is considered to be true, it would irrefutably jeopardise the mutual understanding which was displayed so far on the steps forward.”
Subscriber Only Stories
FIFA and AFC, who had dispatched a high-level delegation to New Delhi in June to meet all officials, said a copy of the Supreme Court order should be shared with them by August 9, 5pm IST.
“Upon receipt of the said documentation and following its in-depth analysis, should there exist serious deviations from aforesaid roadmap, we would submit the matter to our relevant decision-making body for further considerations and possible decisions based on FIFA statutes, including the suspension of AIFF and withdrawal of hosting rights for the 2022 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in India.”
The saga began after the AIFF did not hold elections to appoint a new president within its set timeframe, owing to a logjam in finalising its constitution. This led to the Supreme Court appointing a three-member CoA, comprising ex-Chief Election Commissioner SY Quraishi, former Supreme Court judge Anil Dave, and former India captain Bhaskar Ganguly, to run the day-to-day affairs of the AIFF after finding them in violation of the Sports Code.
As a consequence, India risked facing action from FIFA, which saw this as a violation of their statutes.
The impact of a FIFA suspension could be drastic. Apart from losing hosting rights for the u-17 women’s World Cup, it could impact the team’s participation in the event. The national team, too, could be barred from playing international matches while the clubs will not be allowed to compete in continental tournaments. Additionally, they will also be unable to sign foreign players other than those already on their rosters.

HONG KONG (AP) — Chi Kee Sawmill & Timber, Hong Kong’s last operating sawmill, has been processing timber in the city for 75 years.
Soon the family-run factory near the territory's border with mainland China might be forced to shut down as part of a development project: it received notice earlier this year that it had to vacate its current premises, which it has occupied for nearly four decades, to make way for a development project.
Hong Kong residents have been visiting Chi Kee to buy bits of the wood piled high up around the sawmill and collect a small piece of Hong Kong’s heritage.
According to the local newspaper South China Morning Post, Chi Kee was supposed to have left by June 30, but it has been unable to move because of the tons of timber remaining there.
Today, woodworking factories like Chi Kee have become a sunset industry in Hong Kong, now that mass-produced, imported furniture has become readily available. Most sawmills either have closed down or moved across the border into China, where manufacturing costs are cheaper.
The factory was set up in 1947, around the time when Hong Kong's woodworking industry began and the city became known for manufacturing furniture. It first was located on Hong Kong island but in the 1980s it moved to Kwu Tung, a rural area in the New Territories.
That area is slated for development under Hong Kong's Northern Metropolis plan.
It is a blueprint for developing land close to China’s border into an IT hub that could provide tens of thousands of jobs and homes in the densely populated city, the world's most expensive property market.
The plan also is meant to integrate Hong Kong, a former British colony with its own economy, more closely with neighboring Shenzhen, across the border.
“Back then, we thought that this was a remote area, it won’t be affected, but who knew that it’d become one of the most important areas for development?” said Wong Hung-kuen, Chi Kee Sawmill & Timber's director.
“So we need to hand it over to our country because the land belongs to the country. We just hope to get some assistance and sympathy from the government,” said Wong, who gave up on a dream of turning the sawmill into a museum.
Hong Kong's Development Bureau, which is in charge of the city's urban planning, said in a statement that Chi Kee Sawmill & Timber was notified it would need to leave in the second half of 2021, but that was extended to the end of June 2022, “which should have left sufficient time for the operator to arrange removal and if necessary relocation.”
Chi Kee was offered land compensation, compensation for disruptions caused by the development project and assistance with planning, it said.
Although authorities have offered to help dispose of Chi Kee's leftover timber, Wong wants to turn it into products such as furniture, which he says would be less wasteful.
For now, it is unclear when Chi Kee will shut down for good.
Local conservationists like University of Hong Kong’s assistant professor Yu Ka-sing say that while the sawmill is appreciated by the public, it's hard to preserve it because it lacks any historical or architectural significance.
Still, those who have flocked to Chi Kee after hearing its days are numbered say it represents a part of Hong Kong’s heritage. Even a small piece of timber has become something to hold onto in a fast changing city.
Jones Kwong was among those visitors.
“I think it’s a pity. It’s the only one left in this traditional industry, and it’s going to be demolished soon,” Kwong said.
10 Recession-Proof Stocks That Will Let You Wait Out the BearWhoever coined the expression that patience is a virtue probably never invested money in the equity markets. It can be excruciating to see a stock's price plummet. And that's particularly true when the stock was possibly at all-time highs just one year ago.
Here's the good news. In some cases, the reasons you liked the stock still exist. If that's true, then there's reason to believe that the stock price may recover.
The bad news is there's no way to know for sure when that will be. And anyone who says they do is not telling you the truth.
So what's an investor to do? We believe the answer is to be selective. And right now that means looking at best-in-class stocks that are built to ride out recessions.
In this special presentation, we'll give you seven stocks to consider as you look for safe stocks that give you an opportunity for growth and that pay a dividend for good measure. Here are the 7 recession-proof stocks that will let you wait out this bear market.

In statewide races, the August primary can be more important than November.
New ratings by the Cook Political Report confirm Vermont’s status as the most Democratic state in the nation. That fact is why — for the statewide races at least — the upcoming Democratic primary election is far more important than November’s General Election.
The Cook Political Report’s Partisan Voter Index uses the past two presidential elections to determine the partisan leanings of states and congressional districts.
Louis Jacobson, senior author of the Almanac of American Politics, explains that a Cook PVI score of D+2 means a state performed about two points more Democratic than the nation as a whole. A score of R+4 means the state or district performed about four points more Republican. “Vermont has the highest Democratic rating — D+16 — of any state, edging out Massachusetts (D+15), Maryland and Hawaii (both D+14) and California (D+13),” says Jacobson.
The rating shouldn’t be a surprise: Exit polls have long rated Vermont as the most liberal of the states and Vermont gave Joe Biden his best showing of any state in 2020. He won 66% of the tally.
But the rating does place a bright spotlight on a political reality: The political demographic translates into a near-certain win for Democratic candidates at the statewide level.
That hasn’t always been the case. For a century — from the 1850s to the 1950s — Vermont was the most Republican state in the nation. For those 100 years, winning the GOP primary was a sure bet for winning office.
Now the opposite is true. The only exception is the office of governor. Without fail since 1962, it has alternated between Republicans and Democrats.
Although Democrats have dominated state offices for most of the past 20 years, this is the first election in which open seats for the U.S. Senate and U.S. House have been all but determined before the General Election.
The last time a U.S. Senate seat was open — in 2006 — then-U.S. Rep. Bernie Sanders faced a strong challenge from Republican Rich Tarrant, although Sanders ended up with 65% of the vote. The last time the U.S. House seat was open — also in 2006 — Democrat Peter Welch and Republican Martha Rainville battled throughout the fall, with Welch winning 53% in November.
This year, Welch is expected to easily win the Senate seat. The winner of the Democratic primary for the U.S. House — either Becca Balint or Molly Gray — is expected to easily win the congressional seat.
When retiring Sen. Patrick Leahy, a Democrat, first ran for the Senate in 1974 he did so as an underdog. In his 1974 election and his 1980 re-election, Leahy failed to even gain 50% of the vote. Leahy remains the only Democrat to have held a Senate seat from Vermont.
This election year is very unusual. Of the eight statewide offices, six are up for grabs. Only the offices of governor and auditor have incumbents seeking re-election. The U.S. Senate and U.S. House seats and the offices of lieutenant governor, treasurer, secretary of state and attorney general are to be decided in this year’s elections.
And Democrats are favored to win all of those races, again making the Aug. 9 primary a critical election.
What that means, though, is the outcomes are determined by a smaller number of people than if the November elections were truly contested.
In the past 10 years, the total turnout in Vermont’s primaries has ranged from a low of roughly 40,000 to a high of roughly 170,000. Turnout in the Democratic primaries has ranged from 21,700 in 2014 to 109,365 in 2020.
Turnout in general elections is multiples of the primary. In 2020, 370,968 voters cast ballots in the November elections.
The smaller number makes it harder for campaigns. It is difficult to identify supporters when the pool is so small.
That’s especially so because of the state’s open primary. The state does not have party registration and so voters are free to cast ballots in whichever primary they wish. Each voter is handed three ballots — Republican, Democratic and Progressive — and they mark one and discard the others. It is the voter’s decision alone which party primary they will vote in.
The smaller turnout also makes polling unreliable. It is nearly impossible to obtain a sample that is representative of the actual primary election day voters.
Primaries can be close. In 2010, fewer than 200 votes separated Peter Shumlin and Doug Racine in the Democratic primary for governor, out of 74,000 ballots cast.
So vote. Vote in August as if it is November.

Taiwan Says China Simulating Attack on Main Island in Drills
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Nancy PelosiSpeaker of the United States House of Representatives
(Bloomberg) -- Taiwan said China’s military drills on Saturday appeared to be simulating an attack on its main island, as Chinese warplanes and warships crossed the strait’s median line in a continued show of force.

China Likely Fired Missiles Over Taiwan in Drills, Japan Says
The Taiwanese army responded by sending air patrols and naval ships, deploying land-base missile systems and issuing radio warnings, the Defense Ministry said in a statement.
China is carrying out its most provocative military drills in decades in the wake of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s trip to Taiwan this week. It has also likely fired missiles over the island of 23 million people, sent warships across the Taiwan Strait’s median line and waves of warplanes across the US-defined boundary.
Beijing has denounced the visit by Pelosi -- second in the presidential line of succession -- as a violation of the US pledge 50 years ago not to formally recognize the government of Taiwan, which China claims as its territory. It announced on Friday it would cut off defense talks with the US, further deteriorating relations between the world’s biggest economies.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry also announced unspecified sanctions against Pelosi and her immediate family over what it said was her “egregious provocation.” Although largely symbolic, the move makes the House speaker the highest-ranking American official sanctioned by Beijing. The action was announced shortly after Pelosi left Japan after wrapping up her dramatic week-long trip.
The Biden administration has called Chinese ambassador Qin Gang to the White House to condemn Beijing for provocations in the Taiwan Strait, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said China is choosing to “overreact” to Pelosi’s visit, and said there was “no justification for this extreme, disproportionate and escalatory military response.”
Taiwan’s military said it warned off drones flying over restricted waters surrounding its outer islands late Friday, the third consecutive day such incidents occurred. Earlier this week, it said Chinese army drones were flying near some of the islands.
China’s military exercises are making ships think twice about heading into one of Taiwan’s most important ports, creating potential delays for shipments of electronic goods. Ship owners, worried about the possibility of missile strikes, are choosing to idle vessels and burn extra fuel until the drills pass.
Ships are dropping anchor at sea to avoid a drill zone located just outside Kaohsiung port in the south of Taiwan, said Jayendu Krishna, deputy head of consultancy Drewry Maritime Advisors. The zone, one of the largest areas where China is carrying out exercises, is 15 nautical miles away from the entrance of the port.
The Taiwan Strait is a key route for supply chains, with almost half of the global container fleet passing through the waterway this year. While vessels are continuing to travel through the strait during the military exercises, they are navigating around the drill zones. The Taiwanese Maritime & Port Bureau on Thursday told ships to avoid designated areas around the island until Aug. 8 in waters to the east of the island.
China will practice live weapon firing in the southern part of the Yellow Sea, according to the Maritime Safety Administration in the eastern Chinese city of Lianyungang in Jiangsu province. The drills will last for ten days from Aug. 6-15, it said.
Alongside military exercises, China has imposed trade restrictions on Taiwan. It suspended some fish and fruit imports, citing excessive pesticide residue detected on products since last year and some frozen fish packages that tested positive for coronavirus in June. Exports of natural sand, used in construction, were also banned.
China is moving to tighten the enforcement of existing rules on imports from Taiwan, according to people familiar with the matter. Products labeled as originated from the R.O.C., or the “Republic of China,” won’t be allowed entry to the mainland China market, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing sensitive matters. Beijing objects to Taiwan’s use of “Republic of China” as its official designation because it considers the self-governing democracy part of its territory.
China Tightening Label Rules on Goods From Taiwan, Sources Say
One of the people said China’s labeling rules for Taiwanese imports were first announced in 2015 but had not been strictly enforced until this week. That risk is that products are confiscated unless companies change their labeling to comply with the regulations, the person said, although they expected the overall impact to be modest for now as firms were likely to adjust their packaging quickly.
China is Taiwan’s largest trading partner, with bilateral trade rising 26% on year to $328.3 billion in 2021. Taiwan held a sizable surplus against China, with exports from the island exceeding imports by $172 billion, according to Chinese customs data. While Beijing could leverage that advantage by sanctioning exporters, China also relies on Taiwan for semiconductor supplies.

Signs are one of the best ways in Minecraft for players to add a bit of personalization and flair to their worlds. Players can use signs to keep track of things they need to do or leave messages for their friends. But there are also different ways to customize the Minecraft experience, including world names, books, custom item names, and even chat messages.
Players wanting to push this customization even further can do things such as change the color of text or even add a handful of different text effects.
All about customizing sign text in Minecraft 1.19
The Section Sign (§)
Players in Minecraft can format their text by using a symbol known as the section sign, which is this Unicode character: §. If the player enters this character and follows it with a set of characters, it will impact the rest of the text that follows.
Players can use this to change the color of the text typed and add different text effects, which help customize many of the game's different aspects that involve text. This includes things like signs, world names, and custom item names.
How to get different text colors
There are a total of 16 different potential text colors that players can place onto signs, as well as world names, books, renamed items, and in the chat. These colors include dark blue (§1), dark green (§2), dark aqua (§3), dark red (§4), dark purple (§5), gold (§6), gray (§7), dark gray (§8), blue (§9), green (§a), aqua (§b), red (§c), light purple (§d), yellow (§e), white (§f), and minecoin gold (§g).
Other text effects in the game
Changing the color of the text on a sign is not the only thing that players can do to customize their signs. There are a total of six different formatting codes outside of coloration that players have access to, depending on the version of the game.
Java players have access to all six of the formatting codes, whereas Bedrock players will only have access to four of the formatting codes. The full list of other formatting codes is detailed below.
§k
This formatting code will result in the text being obfuscated. This means that text will be replaced by a bunch of text that randomly changes over time, meaning that players cannot actually read the typed text. This is one of the formatting codes that is compatible with both Bedrock and Java.
§l
This formatting code will result in the text being bolded. This means that any text typed will have a thicker outline. This might result in some characters becoming illegible. This is one of the formatting codes that players on both editions of the game can use.
§m
This formatting code will result in text being struck through, and any text typed will have a horizontal line through it. This is one of the two formatting codes that cannot be used on both versions of the game. It can only be used on the Java edition.
§n
This formatting code will result in an underline. This means that any text typed after this formatting code is applied will have a thin horizontal line underneath it. This formatting code is the second of the formatting codes that can only be used on the Java edition of the game and is unavailable for Bedrock players.
§o
This formatting code will result in italics. The text will be slightly angled, and this is useful for adding emphasis to certain words. This is another formatting code that is available on both the Java and Bedrock editions of Minecraft.
§r
This formatting code will reset any formatting code changes to the text. This means that any text that follows this formatting code will be returned to normal text with a black coloration. This is a formatting code that can be used on both versions of the game. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/minecraft/minecraft-1-19-customize-sign-text-color | 2022-08-06T06:27:45Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/minecraft/minecraft-1-19-customize-sign-text-color | false | 1 |
On 15 July, MTN and Telkom announced that they were in the early stage of discussions about MTN acquiring Telkom in return for shares or a combination of cash and shares in MTN.
The announcement was well-received by investors, with Telkom’s share price jumping 30% and MTN’s stock price increasing 5%.
The excitement around a deal between MTN and Telkom is warranted.
A merger between MTN South Africa and Telkom makes sense operationally, as it will create a telecoms powerhouse with tremendous scale.
It will combine MTN’s deep pockets and mobile market strength with Telkom’s extensive fibre, tower, and property assets.
A merged entity will also be well-positioned to challenge Vodacom’s dominance in South Africa and unlock shareholder value.
Rand Swiss Offshore’s Viv Govender said the market massively undervalues Telkom’s assets. “I have seen examples where the value of Telkom’s property holdings exceeds its market cap.
He added that MTN could extract tremendous value from Telkom’s fibre, property, and tower assets.
It will also give MTN a significant boost in the enterprise IT market through BCX, which offers a range of cloud, security, and ICT services.
Although a deal makes sense, not much has come of discussions between MTN and Telkom. One of the reasons is regulatory challenges.
In 2015, for example, the Competition Commission blocked a plan for MTN to take over financial and operational responsibility for the rollout and operation of Telkom’s radio access network.
The Commission said the transaction would impact the structure of the mobile market in South Africa and would “prevent or lessen” competition.
With MTN planning to acquire Telkom’s entire issued share capital, the latest deal will face far more resistance than the 2015 network outsourcing deal.
Telecommunications lawyer and regulatory expert Dominic Cull said there are two main regulatory concerns related to MTN acquiring Telkom.
- The concentration of ownership in the mobile telecoms industry, which the Competition Commission has previously expressed concerns about.
- The consolidation of MTN and Telkom’s spectrum is held by a merged entity, or MTN, following a successful acquisition of Telkom.
If MTN adds Telkom’s spectrum to its own, it will gain a huge advantage over its rivals like Vodacom, which will be the main sticking point for ICASA and the Competition Commission.
It raises the question of why MTN and Telkom have issued a cautionary if the deal is likely to face regulatory resistance.
Cull said the cautionary is in response to Vodacom’s plan to buy a stake in CIVH, which owns Vumatel and DFA.
Vodacom will combine its fibre assets with Vumatel and DFA to form a new fibre powerhouse, dubbed FibreCo, which competes directly against Telkom.
How a deal can be structured
Cull said it is unlikely that MTN is planning to buy Telkom without structuring the deal to spin off certain units to make it easier to pass regulatory muster.
He said it is likely that MTN wants to get access to Telkom’s extensive fibre assets.
MTN is a strong mobile player and has already started to roll out 5G, offering fixed-broadband and mobile data products over this network.
MTN’s 5G rollout requires more fibre, including links to all towers and an extensive backhaul network. Openserve’s extensive fibre network is a perfect foundation to build from.
“MTN is also not very good at managing its fibre assets. These assets can be placed under a merged entity with Telkom and Openserve — who know what they are doing,” Cull said.
Cull expects the transaction between MTN and Telkom to focus on the operators’ fibre assets, similar to the Vodacom/CIVH deal.
“The moment that we start talking about merging MTN and Telkom’s mobile units and spectrum, we run into regulatory red flags,” he said.
Political will behind the deal
The South African government owns 40.5% of Telkom, while the Public Investment Corporation (PIC), which is closely linked to the government, owns 14.8%.
The government can make or break a deal between MTN and Telkom, which raises questions about the political will behind the discussions.
The ANC government is likely to face opposition from its alliance partners — the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) and the South African Communist Party (SACP).
The National Union of Metal Workers of South Africa (Numsa) has rejected MTN’s planned acquisition of Telkom.
Numsa general secretary Irvin Jim said they condemn any plan to privatise Telkom.
“We are opposed to any privatisation of state-owned companies. We have consistently warned about the dangers of privatisation and the dire impact this would have on the working class and the economy,” Jim said.
Despite a potential backlash from unions, industry commentators said the government must have shown some support for the deal for Telkom and MTN to announce it on SENS.
There has been no comment from the communications minister, but Cull said the government must have, at least, given a provisional green light on the deal.
“If MTN buys Telkom, the government will divest itself from the last truly valuable asset in the telecommunications sector,” Cull said.
“On the other side, a deal will raise a lot of revenue for the National Treasury, which is sorely needed in the short term.”

North Korea on Saturday called US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi the worst destroyer of international peace and stability, accusing her of inciting anti-North Korea sentiment and enraging China during her Asian tour earlier this week.
Pelosi travelled to South Korea after visiting Taiwan, which had prompted China to launch military exercises including missile strike training in waters near the self-governed island. China views Taiwan as part of its own territory to be annexed by force if necessary.
While in South Korea, Pelosi visited a border area with North Korea and discussed the Norths nuclear programme with South Korean National Assembly Speaker Kim Jin Pyo. According to Kim, the two agreed to support their governments push for denuclearisation and peace on the Korean Peninsula based on strong, extended deterrence against the North and diplomacy.
On Saturday, Jo Yong Sam, director general at the North Korean Foreign Ministrys press and information affairs department, slammed Pelosi over her visit to the border and discussion of anti-North Korean deterrence.
Pelosi who had come under a volley of due criticism from China for destroying regional peace and stability by visiting Taiwan, stirred up the atmosphere of confrontation with North Korea during her stay in South Korea, Jo said in a statement carried by state media.
Calling Pelosi the worst destroyer of international peace and stability, Jo argued Pelosis behaviour in South Korea clearly showed the Biden administrations hostile policy toward North Korea.
It would be a fatal mistake for her to think that she can go scot-free in the Korean Peninsula, Jo warned. The US will have to pay dearly for all the sources of trouble spawned by her wherever she went.
Pelosis visit to the Joint Security Area at the Korean border on Thursday made her the highest-profile American to go there since then-President Donald Trump visited in 2019 for a meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
Located inside the worlds most heavily fortified border, the area is jointly controlled by the American-led United Nations Command and North Korea. US presidents and other top officials have previously travelled to the area to reaffirm their security commitment to South Korea in times of animosities with North Korea.
During her JSA visit, Pelosi didnt make any strong public statements against North Korea. She uploaded several photos from the JSA on Twitter and wrote: We conveyed the gratitude of the Congress and the Country for the patriotic service of our servicemembers, who stand as sentinels of Democracy on the Korean Peninsula.
Tensions on the Korean Peninsula remain high following North Koreas torrid run of missile tests earlier this year. US and South Korean officials said North Korea is ready to carry out its first nuclear weapons test in five years.
North Korea has said it would not return to denuclearisation talks and instead focus on expanding its nuclear programme unless the United States drops its hostile policies, in an apparent reference to US-led international sanctions on the North and its regular military drills with South Korea.
After Pelosi visited Taiwan and reaffirmed Washingtons commitment to defending democracy on the self-governing island, North Korea on Wednesday issued a statement berating the US and supporting China, its main ally and biggest aid benefactor.
Pelosi was the the first House speaker to visit Taiwan in 25 years.

A new game development kit (GDK) for the Xbox Series S will “optimize” the console’s memory allocation, Microsoft has revealed.
“Hundreds of additional megabytes of memory are now available to Xbox Series S developers,” explained the game dev team in a new video (see below) all about the GDK’s updates (thanks, TheVerge).
Microsoft says this will give developers “more control over memory”, and as such will allow for “[improved] graphics performance in memory-constrained conditions.” So, good news indeed.
These memory constraints have been an issue since the console’s launch, and something that has been highlighted by the Digital Foundry team in the past. We’re looking forward to hearing what they have to say about this.
Meanwhile, earlier this week, Microsoft began Insider testing for its Xbox Game Pass family plan.
This Xbox Insider trial version of the scheme will enable anyone with a special Insider Preview Game Pass plan to invite up to four people to share that subscription, with each one then gaining unique access to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate’s full selection of games, content, and benefits.
However, at the time of writing, this trial is only available to those in Colombia and Ireland.

While there has been talk of the young talent on the Detroit Lions roster taking a step forward and needing the second-year players to make the necessary leap after their rookie season, quarterback Jared Goff is still the most important player on the current roster.
After a week and a half of camp, the veteran is being challenged by the coaching staff to remain calm under duress.
“I would say that we’ve tried to make him uncomfortable,” offensive coordinator Ben Johnson said. “It’s something we talk about with all the offensive players is get comfortable being uncomfortable. It’s been a challenge to rattle them.
“We’ve thrown some new concepts at them that we didn’t do in the spring time and he’s handled it really well. I know Coach talked about just the offense as a whole, being able to handle pressure and as the intensity goes up and the heat of the moment of the game goes up, that the heart rate goes down. And I think he kind of is the example for that for the rest of the group, because he has done a really nice job just staying steady and he is focused. I’m really proud of where he’s at after a week and a half.”
Despite tossing a pick six to linebacker Alex Anzalone at practice on Friday, Goff rebounded nicely and regularly found wideouts DJ Chark, Kalif Raymond and Amon-Ra St. Brown for solid receptions.
Last season, the veteran quarterback was unwilling to take chances and thread the needle in tight coverage.
At training camp in his second season in Motown, he has been more willing to take chances, especially with the new additions the front office brought in to significantly upgrade the wide receivers room.
It was observed that Goff launched a pass down the left sideline and Chark made an over the shoulder sliding catch while keeping his feet inbounds. It was the second consecutive day the duo has electrified the crowd in attendance.
“We’re pretty far along. With guys like DJ Chark and even (Amon-Ra) St. Brown — building that chemistry and making sure that they know what I’m thinking and vice versa,” Goff told SiriusXM NFL Radio this week. “I want to know what they’re seeing and thinking and how they feel with certain leverages and defenses. So, it’s a constant communication. And the more we talk, the better it is. Even if we’re talking about nothing. It’s just get on the same page and feeling like we’re constantly communicating.”

Swedish Health Services is continuing its journey in carbon reduction with major infrastructure upgrades.
Images courtesy of Swedish Health Services
Seattle-based Swedish Health Services, one of the largest nonprofit health care providers in the Northwest, includes eight hospitals, more than 120 clinics and over 12,000 employees. The organization is in the process of building two new towers at its flagship campus, First Hill, both of which are integral to the organization’s plan to make the entire system carbon negative by 2030.
“Hospitals operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and they are very impactful on the environment,” says Chief Real Estate Officer Mike Denney.
In partnership with Vancouver-based Creative Energy, which develops and operates district energy systems that are designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, almost 9,000 tons of carbon dioxide will be eliminated annually at First Hill. That is equivalent to removing 1,800 cars from the road.
The project involves modernizing the infrastructure of the First Hill campus to reduce wasted energy by capturing excess heat, which can be used to heat its facilities without consuming additional energy. Thermal storage also will allow off-cycle cooling and improve Swedish’s ability to manage the temperatures in its facilities.
“We are technology agnostic, meaning that we package different technologies to supply energy in a very responsible, reliable way and help organizations achieve significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions,” says Creative Energy CEO Krishnan Iyer. “We help our clients build, renew and operate their energy infrastructure in a sustainable, reliable and affordable way.”
Iyer commends Swedish for driving this large-scale change.
“They took the bold step of defining their sustainability goals to include decarbonizing their campuses and including that in their plans for the two new towers,” he says. “Swedish took leadership, and we are seeing other health care providers follow that trend as well.”
Swedish is already recognized for its environmental efforts, and all existing campuses have received awards for their energy- and carbon-reduction practices.
“Our mission is to improve the health and well-being of every person we serve,” Denney says. “That doesn’t just include the delivery of medical care, but [also] creating a healthy environment by doing our part.” | https://www.hfmmagazine.com/articles/4525-health-system-reaches-for-carbon-negative | 2022-08-06T07:36:36Z | https://www.hfmmagazine.com/articles/4525-health-system-reaches-for-carbon-negative | true | 1 |

Taiwan said Saturday that China’s military drills appear to simulate an attack on the self-ruled island, after multiple Chinese warships and aircraft crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait.
Taiwan's armed forces issued an alert, dispatched air and naval patrols around the island, and activated land-based missile systems in response to the situation, Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense said on Twitter.
China launched live-fire military drills following U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s trip to Taiwan earlier this week, saying that her visit violated the “one-China” policy. China sees the island as a breakaway province to be annexed by force if necessary, and considers visits to Taiwan by foreign officials as recognizing its sovereignty.
Separately on Saturday, Taiwan's army detected four unmanned aerial vehicles flying in the vicinity of the offshore county of Kinmen, Taiwan’s Central News Agency reported.
The four drones, which Taiwan believed were Chinese, were spotted over waters around the Kinmen island group and the nearby Lieyu Island and Beiding islet, according to Taiwan’s Kinmen Defense Command.
Taiwan’s military fired warning flares in response.
“Our government & military are closely monitoring China’s military exercises & information warfare operations, ready to respond as necessary,” Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen said in a tweet.
“I call on the international community to support democratic Taiwan & halt any escalation of the regional security situation,” she added.
Kinmen, also known as Quemoy, is a group of islands administered by Taiwan. The islands are located roughly 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) east of the Chinese coastal city of Xiamen in Fujian province.
The Chinese military exercises began Thursday and are expected to last until Sunday. So far, the drills have included missile strikes on targets in the seas north and south of the island in an echo of the last major Chinese military drills in 1995 and 1996 aimed at intimidating Taiwan’s leaders and voters.
Taiwan has put its military on alert and staged civil defense drills, while the U.S. has numerous naval assets in the area.
The Biden administration and Pelosi have said the U.S. remains committed to a “one-China” policy, which recognizes Beijing as the government of China but allows informal relations and defense ties with Taipei. The administration discouraged but did not prevent Pelosi from visiting.
China has also cut off defense talks with the U.S. and imposed sanctions on Pelosi in retaliation for the visit.
Pelosi has been a long-time advocate of human rights in China. She, along with other lawmakers, visited Beijing’s Tiananmen Square in 1991 to support democracy two years after a bloody military crackdown on protesters at the square.

The four drones, which Taiwan believed were Chinese, were spotted over waters around the Kinmen island group and the nearby Lieyu Island and Beiding islet, according to Taiwan’s Kinmen Defense Command.
Taiwan’s military fired warning flares in response.
“Our government & military are closely monitoring China’s military exercises & information warfare operations, ready to respond as necessary,” Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen said in a tweet.
“I call on the international community to support democratic Taiwan & halt any escalation of the regional security situation,” she added.
Kinmen, also known as Quemoy, is a group of islands administered by Taiwan. The islands are located roughly 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) east of the Chinese coastal city of Xiamen in Fujian province.
The Chinese military exercises began Thursday and are expected to last until Sunday. So far, the drills have included missile strikes on targets in the seas north and south of the island in an echo of the last major Chinese military drills in 1995 and 1996 aimed at intimidating Taiwan’s leaders and voters.
Taiwan has put its military on alert and staged civil defense drills, while the U.S. has numerous naval assets in the area.
The Biden administration and Pelosi have said the U.S. remains committed to a “one-China” policy, which recognizes Beijing as the government of China but allows informal relations and defense ties with Taipei. The administration discouraged but did not prevent Pelosi from visiting.
China has also cut off defense talks with the U.S. and imposed sanctions on Pelosi in retaliation for the visit.
Pelosi has been a long-time advocate of human rights in China. She, along with other lawmakers, visited Beijing’s Tiananmen Square in 1991 to support democracy two years after a bloody military crackdown on protesters at the square.

Empire strikes back: 100-1 Missile Stakes winner revives memories of flag start chaos
Peter Miers, a wonderful old jockey who gathered with about 60 of his former brethren for their annual celebration on Saturday, only had to walk on track and you knew it wouldn’t be an ordinary Missile Stakes.
Miers rode Plus Vite to victory in the 1984 sprint. Plus Vite was on debut and won at 200-1, infuriating punters who cared much more for the punt than the party back then. The race had already been shrouded in controversy when horses went across to the start and realised the barriers were bogged. Miers proposed a flag start and duly won at any old price.
This year at Royal Randwick, an ageing sprinter out of Queensland, nine-year-old Hard Empire, brought all the memories rushing back when he paid $104.90 on the NSW tote to win the Missile Stakes with Miers was watching from the grandstand. The first group race of the season won’t be forgotten in a hurry.
Hard Empire’s co-trainer, Toby Edmonds, casually leant on the side of the winner’s stall and wondered what all the fuss was about after his horse’s steady 11th in the Ramornie the start prior. He figured Phobetor won the Missile Stakes after contesting the Grafton sprint last year and he would try the same.
So why the reversal?
“He hasn’t turned [himself around], he’s been going super,” Edmonds said after Rachel King came with a late burst to beat Kris Lees’ pair Wandabaa ($26) and Gem Song ($16). “His work on Tuesday morning was as good as I’ve seen him do.
“We just thought some of these horses might not be quite wound up, so why not have a go? Once he’s in form and gets outside horses he’s very strong.”
Asked about her mentality riding a longshot, King said: “There’s probably a little bit less pressure, I guess. But you’re still riding for good trainers in a good race, and I know Toby wouldn’t bring him down if he couldn’t be competitive.”
Dual group 1 winner Forbidden Love ($3.20 fav) was a fading sixth after chasing the hot speed of Prime Candidate ($26), with Count De Rupee ($8) finishing a position ahead of Forbidden Love.
More to come
Lord Ardmore will be given his chance at a first stakes success after keeping his winning run going with a tradesmanlike victory in the Premier’s Cup Prelude at Royal Randwick.
Lord Ardmore was one of the most heavily backed horses on the program, but Hugh Bowman had to cajole the $2.30 favourite to a fighting victory from leader Grove Ferry ($19), which led until the final 150 metres.
“This horse, he seems to be going from strength to strength,” trainer Chris Waller said.
“He’s coming out of winter at the right time, and there’s some nice races here for him. He will need to lift, but his fitness will improve as well. I think he can get better over 2000 metres and there’s a group race [Premier’s Cup] here in two weeks which will be perfect for him.”
Talking the talk
Kacy Fogden has a little superstition: she doesn’t like talking about one of her best horses.
It’s an old ritual employed by a few superstitious trainers, and even after Maotai finally started delivering on his enormous promise, getting more than a few words out of the Gold Coast-based trainer was still a hard task.
“I’m a bit more relaxed now,” Fogden said after the Aquis-owned sprinter return a winner at Royal Randwick in the benchmark 78.
“I don’t think it ever really stops with him. He’s shown us an enormous amount of ability. I’m not too sure to be honest whether I thought gelding would actually change him. He’s such a quiet horse anyway. We’ve spent so much time on him at home.”
‘I’ve got no doubt he’s up to better class races and he’s shown that previously.’
Hugh Bowman
Maotai’s issues have largely stemmed from a fear of the barriers. Once he’s inside, it’s never too much of an issue. But walking him in can be an altogether different task.
But a bid to have the well-backed Maotai ($2.60 fav) ridden a little quieter worked a treat as Hugh Bowman angled for a split and sprinted to a half-length win over Leo ($5.50).
“I’ve got no doubt he’s up to better class races and he’s shown that previously,” Bowman said. “It will take time though. He needs to continue to develop and I wouldn’t be pushing him up in grade too quick. Just let him gain some confidence because that’s what he lacks. He suffers a bit of anxiety and that’s where the problems come.”
Bucking the trend
Ciaron Maher has made a habit of the unorthodox looking, well, orthodox. So it was no surprise to see his American-bred stayer who raced the early part of his career in the United Kingdom buck conventional training wisdom to win at Royal Randwick.
After a year-long absence through injury, Maher and co-trainer David Eustace rushed Cadre Du Noir ($5 fav) straight to 2400m third-up and he outgunned So United ($7.50) for his second Australian win, delivering James McDonald a race-to-race double after Bazooka’s Midway success.
“We did have quite a high opinion of him and to have an injury like that, you always hope they get back to your best,” Maher said. “He’s still a bit ring rusty, but he’s definitely up to stakes level and country cups.”
Conqueror conquered
If there was one resuming horse on the lips of punters before the fourth at Royal Randwick, then it’s fair to say it probably wasn’t Arnaqueur.
But Jean Dubois engineered an upset – landing good bets in the process – as a horse who has run in $1 million races to three-year-old group contests brought down the spruiked Conqueror.
To be fair to Conqueror, he was also in his first run of the campaign and just his second career start, and taking on older horses. He was put slightly off stride up the rise as a result of a chain reaction.
But Arnaqueur ($13) was still a decisive winner, holding off Conqueror ($2.25 fav) under reigning champion apprentice Tyler Schiller to win by 2¼ lengths.
“He’s always good when he’s fresh,” Dubois said. “After the gelding operation he was struggling to get back in form. He took a bit of time. He has his days. Not every day, but he has some.”

Beijing's largest-ever exercises around Taiwan have offered key clues into its plans for a grueling blockade in the event of a war to take the self-ruled island, and revealed an increasingly emboldened Chinese military, experts told AFP.
The visit to Taiwan by US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi — second in line to the presidency — sparked outrage from Beijing, which launched vast military maneuvers around the island, even at the risk of partially exposing its plans to the United States and its Asian allies.
Mobilizing fighter planes, helicopters and even warships, the drills aim to simulate a blockade of Taiwan and include practicing an "attack on targets at sea", according to state news agency Xinhua.
It is the first time Chinese exercises have taken place so close to Taiwan, with some of the drills happening less than 20 kilometers from the island's coast.
Also unprecedented are Beijing's drills on Taiwan's eastern flank, a strategically vital area for supplies to the island's military forces — as well as any potential American reinforcements.
China sees Taiwan as part of its territory and has vowed to one day take it, by force if necessary.
A "blockade scenario" was long speculated to be one of China's preferred strategies were it to try and conquer the island, and this week's drills have revealed how that might go down.
Such a besiegement would aim to prevent any entry or exit of commercial or military ships and aircraft.
But it would also deny American forces stationed in the region access to the island.
The Chinese military "obviously has all the capabilities to impose such a blockade", Song Zhongping, an independent Chinese military commentator, told AFP.
"We already see during the current exercises that Taiwanese fighter jets and ships absolutely cannot take off or leave their ports."
- 'They can't be dismissed' -
The Chinese military fired a dozen ballistic missiles on Thursday that hit various areas around Taiwan — with some flying over the island, Beijing's state broadcaster CCTV said on Friday.
According to Xinhua, Beijing has mobilized more than 100 planes and more than 10 frigates and destroyers — including the J-20 stealth fighter and a Type 055 destroyer, the crown jewels of China's air and naval forces.
But beyond the big guns, these exercises make it possible to test and sharpen the level of coordination between the various army corps mobilized: land, sea, air and rocket forces, as well as strategic support, tasked with cyber warfare.
It is also a crucial test for the recently inaugurated Eastern Theatre of Operations of the Chinese army, created in 2016 and which oversees the country's entire eastern maritime space — and therefore Taiwan.
What China has done so far demonstrates its "robust capabilities", John Blaxland, professor of international security at the Australian National University, told AFP.
"They can't be dismissed as some kind of less inexperienced, incapable force," he said.
"They clearly have the ability to coordinate their land and sea, they have the ability to deploy missile systems and they function effectively."
These exercises also demonstrate to the Taiwanese, the Americans and the Japanese that the Chinese "have what it takes to do what they threaten to do", he added.
"The converse, of course to this is that what they are doing is being closely studied and monitored for lessons to be learned by Taiwan, the United States, Japan and others," Blaxland noted.
- 'Dangerous opponent' -
During the previous Taiwan Strait crisis from 1995 to 1996, under Bill Clinton, the US Navy transited several warships through the waterway and deployed aircraft carriers near the island.
This time, however, "the US Government is taking prudent steps to avoid unwanted escalation", said Lonnie Henley, a former US intelligence officer and professor at the Elliott School of International Studies in Washington.
American caution is also rooted in the fact that China has greatly increased its military capabilities since 1996, when it was unable to deny the US Navy access to the area.
"In some areas the PLA might even surpass US capabilities," noted Grant Newsham, a former US Navy officer and researcher at the Japan Forum for Strategic Studies, referring to China's military by its official name.
"If the battle is confined to the area right around Taiwan, today's Chinese navy is a dangerous opponent -- and if the Americans and Japanese do not intervene for some reason, things would be difficult for Taiwan."
Chinese incursions across the so-called median line between the mainland and Taiwan — never recognized by Beijing — also speak to a growing confidence, experts said.
"China has not felt comfortable to push its claims on the median line until recently," said Blaxland.
"We can expect them to continue to operate as if the median line is not valid. That's been the case for a while, but it's now accelerating." | https://news.abs-cbn.com/overseas/08/06/22/china-drills-reveal-plans-for-taiwan-blockade-experts | 2022-08-06T08:03:59Z | https://news.abs-cbn.com/overseas/08/06/22/china-drills-reveal-plans-for-taiwan-blockade-experts | true | 7 |

KSI's return bout is reportedly in doubt after Alex Wassabi picked up an injury weeks out from the event.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer is set to step into the ring on August 27 for the first time since his rematch win over Logan Paul in November 2019. Fellow social media star Wassabi, who beat his brother Deji earlier this year, has been lined up as his opponent.
But Keemstar, host of internet news show DramaAlert, has claimed the American isn't fighting fit with three weeks until fight night. In a video uploaded to Twitter, he said: "Ladies and gentleman, this is breaking news. Wassabi is injured.

"Now I’ve heard two different injuries, I’ve heard concussions, I’ve heard a broken hand. It’s coming from a source from close to Wassabi’s camp. I have another source close to Wassabi’s camp.
"This is what is happening right now. I have double checked, I have crossed my t’s, dotted my i’s on this. Wassabi is injured. And there is a fear right now that he won’t be fighting KSI on August 27."
However, he was confident that Wassabi pulling out would not spell an end to the show. "Will the event be cancelled? No," he continued.
Who would you want to see replace Wassabi? Let us know in the comments section.
"I can tell you for a fact the event will not be cancelled, though, because I talked to Misfits Boxing (organisers of the event) months ago, and they've always said if someone pulls out of the fight they will be replaced.
"So I don’t think August 27 has any chance of ever being cancelled. But there is a chance we won’t see Alex Wassabi."
Shortly before the news broke, KSI tweeted "Life is so funny sometimes" along with laughing emojis. His rival Jake Paul, who had his own event at Madison Square Garden this weekend cancelled, posted "HAHAHHAHAHAHA KARMAS A B****" around the same time.

Paul Pelosi Had 'Drug' in His System, Tried to Use 'Get Out of Jail Free Card' During DUI Bust: Report
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi might have spent the past weeks preoccupied with her Pacific adventure, but there’s no getting around the mounting scandal surrounding her multi-millionaire, stock-broker husband, Paul.
As more information regarding the 82-year-old’s DUI arrest in Napa County is revealed the situation gets worse and worse.
To recap: Paul Pelosi was involved in a collision with another driver on May 28 on California Route 29. Police found him sitting in the driver’s seat of his damaged Porshe with red, watery eyes, slurring his speech and smelling strongly of alcohol.
The other driver in a Jeep suffered minor injuries. Pelosi, when met by officers, was slurring his speech, showing “signs of impairment” and handed the officers a police courtesy card with his license.
Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul Pelosi, had slurred speech, red and watery eyes, and a drug in his system at the time of his arrest for driving under the influence of alcohol, according to new court documents. https://t.co/ioKLZLkJZf
— Breitbart News (@BreitbartNews) August 3, 2022
Fox News reported, “Pelosi allegedly handed officers his driver’s license and an ’11-99 Foundation’ card when they asked for his ID, according to the documents. The 11-99 Foundation is a California Highway Patrol charity that supports officers and provides scholarships for their children.”
Social media lit up with the report about Pelosi’s apparent attempt to sway the officer with the charity card:
BREAKING REPORT: Paul Pelosi INJURED DRIVER in May 28th DUI Accident – Court Docs Reveal Pelosi also had DRUG IN HIS SYSTEM and Attempted to Present a GET OUT OF JAIL FREE card…

A police privileged card. That’s called a “get out of jail free” @SpeakerPelosi that I’m not surprised he had the card and expected to use it
Paul Pelosi allegedly slurred speech, had drug in system and handed over police privilege card during DUI busthttps://t.co/dJoc8YJXOo
— An American 🇺🇸 (@Joe7993) August 3, 2022
Yes, he was allegedly under the influence of alcohol (his blood alcohol content was .082%, according to KPIX). And we’re told he tried to use the old “get out of jail free card” trick. But we now have reason to believe he also had a drug in his system as well.
The most recent updates have indicated that not only was the octagenarian driving under the influence of alcohol showing the aforementioned “signs of impairment” in a field sobriety test where officers “observed objective signs and symptoms of alcohol intoxication,” according to Fox News.
The police complaint filed against him also noted that “He was unsteady on his feet, his speech was slurred, and he had a strong odor of an alcohol beverage emanating from his breath,” and he had “red/watery” eyes.
The charging document contained the language that Mr. Pelosi injured the driver of the other vehicle “while under the influence of an alcoholic beverage and a drug and under their combined influence.”
Fox did not identify the “drug,” and it wasn’t clear if the arrest report did so. Mr. Pelosi’s attorney, Amanda Bevins, tried to downplay the reference to a “drug” in her client’s sytem.
“I believe that the drug reference is part of the statutory boilerplate language in the complaint,” she said, according to Fox.
Maybe so, maybe not.
At the very minimum, it would seem that Speaker Pelosi’s husband, in an astonishing display of sheer hubris and (let’s be honest) elitism, decided that he could just slide over a card from a police charity he’s donated to in order to make a DUI car accident with an injured party “go away.”
The New York Post reported in June that the officer-worn bodycam footage of the arrest would not be released under the guise that it could “jeopardize” the investigation.
But the conversation that took place between Pelosi and the arresting officer has to be released, if for no other reason than that the American people need to hear how police treated the most privileged of the privileged.
If Pelosi said anything akin to “Don’t you know who I AM?” the American people should know about it.
If the people of this nation are to have any confidence in our justice system, then Mr. Paul Pelosi must be prosecuted competently, fairly and very, very publicly.

If there’s anybody who recognizes the benefit of a hospital that provides high-quality perinatal care, it’s Melody Rose.
The 65-year-old Jackson resident is part a multi-generational tradition in her family of bringing new life into the world with the help of Adena physicians.
“I was born at Adena Chillicothe when the hospital was downtown,” she said. “I gave birth to my two children, Johnny and Christina, 35 and 33 years ago at Adena. Then Johnny, and more recently Christina, had their babies at Adena Regional Medical Center (ARMC), so that’s three generations who have used Adena’s hospital because of the good care we have received.”
Melody’s daughter, Christina Hively, gave birth to her second son May 21, 2022 at ARMC. In her case, having her child at Adena is a special nod to the care provided since Christina works for the health system as a nurse practitioner in ear, nose and throat.
“When you’re able to see the quality of care that people give behind the scenes, as Christina has, it’s so important,” Rose said. “When we all choose the same hospital to take care of our children and give birth, that says a lot about the quality of care we receive.”
The Joint Commission agrees, having this year renewed ARMC’s Gold Seal of Approval for Perinatal Care. The certification designates ARMC’s Women and Children’s program as a Center for Excellence in Perinatal Care, the result of the department’s continual compliance with The Joint Commission’s performance standards and commitment to providing safe and quality care for newborns and their mothers.
Certification is the result of a rigorous review process by The Joint Commission of compliance within a set of standards that include quality and safety metrics, protocols and procedures, and use of evidence-based practice guidelines. According to The Joint Commission, organizations that monitor and adhere to perinatal care core measures are more likely to demonstrate several outcome improvements, including:
· Reduction in infant mortality rates;
· Reduction in maternal complications and mortality;
· Reduction of unnecessary induction of labor;
· Reduction of elective deliveries that can lead to an increase in admission rates to the neonatal intensive care unit;
· Reduction of complications during deliveries;
· Reduction of prematurity rates that can lead to infant mortality;
· Reduction in costs associated with lengthy hospital stays due to complications.
For patients, what all of that translates to is the confidence that when the time comes to welcome a new member of the family, ARMC’s Women and Children’s Department is providing them with the highest quality care using the best practices available.
It’s that level of confidence that has kept Rose’s family returning – in classic style – to ARMC to give birth. When Johnny learned he was going to become a father, he called his father and said he wanted to bring the baby home in the same 1964 Dodge Polaris that both he and Christina were brought home in after their births.
The car had just been sitting in a field, but was pulled out and the family set about getting it restored – work that was completed shortly before the birth.
That Dodge Polaris also was used by Christina’s parents as part of a family convoy of sorts that formed to bring the mom and her new son home from ARMC on May 21. Also in that convoy was the vehicle Christina has brought both her sons home in – her husband’s restored 1968 Chevy truck that had been his grandfather’s – as well as other classic vehicles driven by Johnny and a host of other family members.
Christina echoed her mother’s feelings on the care she personally has received at ARMC.
“I have received high-quality, supportive and exceptional care throughout the entire process of labor and delivery as well as post-partum with both of my sons,” she said.
That begs the question that with three generations of Adena births behind it, will there one day be a fourth generation of Melody’s family being picked up at ARMC?

Abbyy aims intelligent document processing at business users
Since its birth three decades ago, Abbyy's trajectory has shifted from old-line OCR tech to the forefront of the fast-growing intelligent document processing sector.
As an executive at a partner and reseller of Abbyy document capture systems for 15 years, Travis Spangler has observed the vendor's evolution up close.
Spangler, director of sales and operations at User Friendly Consulting in Lawrence, Mich., leads IT teams that specialize in implementing and managing Abbyy's latest platform, Vantage, and other Abby products. Vantage is a drag-and-drop, low-code document capture system aimed at business and non-technical users.
Abbyy started in 1989 as a purveyor of language and dictionary software and moved into the market for traditional optical character recognition software. The vendor, founded in Russia and now headquartered in Milpitas, Calif., has offices in 13 countries.
Over the last two decades Abbyy has become one of the most familiar brands in the fast-growing market for AI-based intelligent document processing (IDP) technology that enables organizations to easily digitize complex physical and text documents such as invoices, driver's licenses and contracts.
"We've kind of grown with their technology as it's developed," Spangler said.
Abbyy first introduced Vantage in 2009 as its first cloud-native platform -- with a host of machine learning neural network-based features -- and also introduced a SaaS version of its traditional FlexiCapture system. The vendor released a major upgrade to Vantage 2 in August 2021, along with the Abbyy Marketplace for pre-packaged skills to automate document data extraction and classification.
On June 8, the vendor released a new set of production-ready skills including ones to extract data from bank statements, tax returns, paychecks and identity documents in 248 countries.
"We realized that a Salesforce-esque platform was missing from the IDP market," Spangler said, referring to the CRM and CX giant's vast ecosystem of software capabilities. "So when we saw this platform from Abby, we saw that not only a was this a low-code, no-code SaaS offering, but you also had this whole marketplace and idea that partners like us can contribute."
Because of its long history, Abbyy can be characterized as a legacy player in the document capture and processing arena, but it has evolved and stayed abreast of technologies such as AI, said Neil Ward-Dutton, an IDC analyst.

"They've really put a lot of energy into modernizing and revolutionizing the platform," he said. "They've worked hard to stay in the leading pack."
While younger startups have embraced newer technologies such as natural language processing and AI-powered computer vision from the start, they face challenges in scaling up to meet the needs of large enterprises. For incumbents such as Abbyy, the question is whether they can innovate fast enough, Ward-Dutton said.
"Abbyy is doing really well at this, and they have a huge customer base," he said. "And if they can convert a meaningful percentage of that customer base to Vantage, that's going to keep their shareholders happy."
Abbyy is privately held. Marlin Equity Partners became the largest shareholder with an investment in May 2021.
Abbyy competes with startups and newer companies such as AntWorks, Edgeverve, Indico Data and others, including software automation vendors such as Automation Anywhere, Hyperscience and WorkFusion. Established vendors in the intelligent document processing market include Kofax, Parascript, Datamatics, IBM, Microsoft and OpenText.
"There are specialists who perform better in very particular use cases, like for example, contract analysis," Ward-Dutton said. "But when you're looking at sort of general-purpose solution, I think Abbyy does a really good job."
Abbyy's journey over the decades is an evolution that its leadership consciously recognizes as the vendor appeals to the new class of non-data scientist, non-data engineers who are increasingly populating the ranks of enterprises' data workers.
Abbyy also relied on its size and stature to offer customers stability, along with technological innovation that keeps pace to a large extent with younger vendors entering the market.
"One of the biggest market trends that we've been trying to exploit and accommodate is this democratization trend, the move to low-code, no-code," said Anthony Macciola, chief innovation officer.
"The market that we played in historically, the capture market, couldn't be further from low-code," he continued. "All of our historic competitors, as we did, favored flexibility over ease of use. Now the business users, the knowledge workers themselves, who know the processes, can be empowered to start automating things themselves." | https://www.techtarget.com/searchenterpriseai/news/252523552/Abbyy-aims-intelligent-document-processing-at-business-users | 2022-08-06T08:22:12Z | https://www.techtarget.com/searchenterpriseai/news/252523552/Abbyy-aims-intelligent-document-processing-at-business-users | true | 1 |

Minnesota #fishing Report-August 5, 2022
BAUDETTE/WARROAD – LAKE OF THE WOODS & THE RAINY RIVER. Summer walleye fishing remains excellent with limits of walleye and sauger being taken from Lake of the Woods. Nice pods of eating-size walleye can be found in 12-20 feet of water in front of Pine Island, and near the Lighthouse and Morris Point gaps. Successful anglers are using spinnerbaits or crankbaits. The deep mud in 28-34 feet of water is also holding good numbers of walleye. For the most action at the mud, jig a frozen shiner or fathead minnow, drift a spinner and crawler, or troll a crankbait.

DeSantis Didn't Just Suspend Soros-Funded Prosecutor, He Sent the Police to Evict Him from Office
Earlier this year, when New York Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul was frustrated with progressive Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg — one of many criminal justice reformers whose campaigns were funded by billionaire financier and activist George Soros — she sat him down for a stern talking-to.
Part of the problem was that Bragg had made it clear he wasn’t going to enforce many of the city’s laws after his election in 2021, as City Journal’s Thomas Hogan noted.
“Who goes to jail on Bragg’s watch?” he wrote. “Virtually no one. The only people Bragg recommends for pretrial detention and later prison sentences are murderers, shooters who actually cause serious injuries — firing 50 shots down a crowded street won’t get you locked up if you don’t hit anybody — sex offenders, and perpetrators of specific offenses such as domestic violence or public corruption.”
Those kinds of Chesa Boudin-esque policies obviously scared the good burghers of Manhattan’s wealthier ZIP codes, and for good reason.
Thus, Hochul had a meeting with Bragg to remind him that she had the authority to remove lower office-holders like him and said her “highest priority is protecting the safety of New Yorkers.”
“I reiterated my belief that safety and justice must go hand-in-hand,” the governor said in a statement after the meeting.
A firm talking to. That’s what Alvin Bragg got for saying he wasn’t going to enforce the law.
Meanwhile, when a similarly Soros-funded prosecutor in Florida — Hillsborough County State Attorney Andrew Warren — announced he wasn’t going to be enforcing the law, GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis didn’t just yank him from office, he had the police evict him.
What a difference a party makes.
On Thursday, DeSantis signed an executive order suspending Warren, whose county encompasses Tampa, citing “neglect of duty” and “incompetence.”
In his executive order, DeSantis noted the state attorney had enacted policies in which he would not prosecute “certain criminal violations, including trespassing at a business location, disorderly conduct, disorderly intoxication and prostitution.”
However, as CNN noted, Warren’s removal was precipitated by his refusal to enforce Florida’s laws forbidding abortion after 15 weeks and banning gender transitioning procedures on children.
And not only that, DeSantis dispatched law enforcement to evict the prosecutor.

— Richard Hanania (@RichardHanania) August 4, 2022
“As of the signing of this Executive Order, the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, assisted by other law enforcement agencies as necessary, is requested to: (1) assist in the immediate transition of Andrew Warren from the Office of the State Attorney for the 13th Judicial Circuit of Florida, with access only to retrieve his personal belongings; and (ii) ensure that no files, papers, documents, notes, records, computers, or removable storage media are removed from the Office of the State Attorney for the 13th Judicial Circuit of Florida by Andrew Warren or any of his staff,” the executive order read.
DeSantis made it clear that Andrew Warrens weren’t tolerated in Florida the same way that Alvin Braggs are in New York.
“To take a position that you have veto powers over the laws of the state is untenable,” the governor — flanked by law enforcement officials — said during a media briefing.
“The prosecutor, state attorney for this judicial circuit, Andrew Warren, has put himself publicly above the law,” he said.
“In June of 2021, he signed a letter saying that he would not enforce any prohibitions on sex change operations for minors … and then most recently, after the Dobbs decision was rendered by the U.S. Supreme Court, he signed a letter saying he would not enforce any laws relating to protecting the right to life in the state of Florida — and mind you, we have had prohibition on third-trimester abortions for a long time.”
“When you flagrantly violate your oath of office, when you make yourself above the law, you have violated your duty, you have neglected your duty and you are displaying a lack of competence to be able to perform those duties,” DeSantis said. “And so today, we are suspending State Attorney Andrew Warren effective immediately.”
He made it clear that he wasn’t going to idly threaten to suspend officials who cherry-picked which laws to enforce, the same way Hochul did with Bragg.
“We’ve seen across this country, over the last few years, individual prosecutors take it upon themselves to determine which laws they like and will enforce and which laws they don’t like and then don’t enforce,” DeSantis said.
“The Constitution of Florida has vested the veto in the governor, not in individual state attorneys,” the governor said.
Warren, who was re-elected in 2020, “was one of many prosecutors who were backed in 2016 by groups supported by the billionaire liberal investor George Soros,” The New York Times noted.
Soros’ movement to transform the American criminal justice system for the worse has continued apace.
At least one DA backed by the billionaire has been removed by voters this year: the aforementioned Chesa Boudin, who was recalled by San Francisco voters fed up with his soft-on-crime policies.
Another, Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón, will know in the coming weeks if opponents have gathered enough signatures to put him on a recall ballot this November.
Warren, of course, claimed this was more about enhancing DeSantis’ reputation nationwide than anything else.
“Today’s political stunt is an illegal overreach that continues a dangerous pattern by Ron DeSantis of using his office to further his own political ambition,” he said in a statement, according to the Tampa Bay Times. “It spits in the face of the voters of Hillsborough County who have twice elected me to serve them, not Ron DeSantis.”
Actually, they elected Warren to enforce the law. He says he won’t, which is flagrant neglect of duty.
If suspending him raises the political visibility of Ron DeSantis, well, good. Instead of taking the Kathy Hochul approach, he literally evicted one of Soros’ pet picks.
We could use a few more of him.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Whether the U.S. economy is heading for a recession got more difficult to answer Friday, when a report showed employers hired hundreds of thousands more workers last month than expected.
The stunning strength made clear that a linchpin of the economy remains solid. That’s even though inflation is running at its worst pace in 40 years, the economy’s output shrunk through the first half of the year and rising interest rates are dragging on housing and other industries. All the confounding numbers only make the long-term outlook for the economy more muddied.
On one hand, two straight quarters of economic contraction is a long-held, though informal, definition of a recession. It would mark a quick turnaround barely two years after the official end of the pandemic recession. Yet can a recession really occur when so many people still have jobs and are making more money?
It’s the latest head-scratcher regarding an economy that has confounded Federal Reserve policymakers and many economists since growth screeched to a halt in March 2020 as COVID-19 struck and 20 million Americans were suddenly thrown out of work.
While most economists — and Fed Chair Jerome Powell — have said they don’t think the economy is currently in a recession, with Friday’s data cementing the case for many, expectations are still high for an economic downturn to begin later this year or next.
Friday’s strong jobs report may actually increase the chances of a recession because it could embolden the Federal Reserve to stay aggressive in hiking interest rates in order to beat back inflation. Higher rates slow the economy by making purchases of homes, cars and things bought on credit cards more expensive, and the Fed is jacking up rates at the fastest pace since the early 1980s.
Perhaps even more important than whether a recession occurs is whether workers’ paychecks catch up with inflation. So far, gains in average wages have not, and the pain is disproportionately hitting lower-income and Black and Hispanic households. As a result, Americans have increasingly soured on the economy.
That may be what moves more people in November’s midterm elections than whether or not a recession has officially begun.
So how, exactly, do we know when an economy is in recession? Here are some answers to such questions:
____
WHO DECIDES WHEN A RECESSION HAS STARTED?
Recessions are officially declared by the obscure-sounding National Bureau of Economic Research, a group of economists whose Business Cycle Dating Committee defines a recession as “a significant decline in economic activity that is spread across the economy and lasts more than a few months.”
The committee considers trends in hiring as a key measure in determining recessions. It also assesses many other data points, including gauges of income, employment, inflation-adjusted spending, retail sales and factory output. It puts heavy weight on jobs and a gauge of inflation-adjusted income that excludes government support payments such as Social Security.
Yet the NBER typically doesn’t declare a recession until well after one has begun, sometimes for up to a year. Economists consider a half-point rise in the unemployment rate, averaged over several months, as the most historically reliable sign of a downturn. On Friday, the latest jobs report showed the unemployment rate matched its lowest level in more than 50 years.
___
DO TWO STRAIGHT QUARTERS OF ECONOMIC CONTRACTION EQUAL A RECESSION?
That’s a common rule of thumb, but it isn’t an official definition.
Still, in the past, it has been a useful measure. Michael Strain, an economist at the right-leaning American Enterprise Institute, notes that in each of the past 10 times that the economy shrank for two consecutive quarters, a recession has resulted.
Still, even Strain isn’t sure we’re in recession now. Like many economists, he notes that the underlying drivers of the economy — consumer spending, business investment, home purchases — all grew in the first quarter.
Overall gross domestic product — the broadest measure of the nation’s output — declined at a 1.6% annual rate from January through March because of one-off factors, including a sharp jump in imports and a post-holiday season drop in businesses’ inventories. Many economists expect that when GDP is revised later this year, the first quarter may even turn out to be positive.
“The basic story is that the economy is growing but still slowing, and that slowdown really accelerated in the second quarter,” Strain said.
___
DON’T A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK A RECESSION IS COMING?
Yes, because many people now feel more financially burdened. With wage gains trailing inflation for most people, higher prices for such essentials as gas, food, and rent have eroded Americans’ spending power,
Walmart recently reported that higher gas and food costs have forced its shoppers to reduce their purchases of discretionary spending such as new clothing, a clear sign that consumer spending, a key driver of the economy, is weakening. The nation’s largest retailer, Walmart reduced its profit outlook and said it will have to discount more items like furniture and electronics.
And the Fed’s rate hikes have caused average mortgage rates to nearly double to 4.99%, causing a sharp fall in home sales and construction.
Higher rates will also likely weigh on businesses’ willingness to invest in new buildings, machinery and other equipment. If companies reduce spending and investment, they’ll also start to slow hiring. Rising caution among companies about spending freely could lead eventually to layoffs. If the economy were to lose jobs and the public were to grow more fearful, consumers would further reduce spending.
The Fed’s rapid rate hikes have raised the likelihood of recession in the next two years to nearly 50%, Goldman Sachs economists have said. And Bank of America economists now forecast a “mild” recession later this year, while Deutsche Bank expects a recession early next year.
___
WHAT ARE SOME SIGNS OF AN IMPENDING RECESSION?
The clearest signal that a recession is under way, economists say, would be a steady rise in job losses and a surge in unemployment. In the past, an increase in the unemployment rate of three-tenths of a percentage point, on average over the previous three months, has meant that a recession will soon follow.
Many economists monitor the number of people who seek unemployment benefits each week, which indicates whether layoffs are worsening. Weekly applications for jobless aid, averaged over the past four weeks, have been rising recently and have topped 250,000. While that is a potentially concerning sign, it is still a low level historically.
___
ANY OTHER SIGNALS TO WATCH FOR?
Many economists also monitor changes in the interest payments, or yields, on different bonds for a recession signal known as an “inverted yield curve.” This occurs when the yield on the 10-year Treasury falls below the yield on a short-term Treasury, such as the 3-month T-bill. That is unusual. Normally, longer-term bonds pay investors a richer yield in exchange for tying up their money for a longer period.
Inverted yield curves generally mean that investors foresee a recession that will compel the Fed to slash rates. Inverted curves often predate recessions. Still, it can take 18 to 24 months for a downturn to arrive after the yield curve inverts.
For weeks, the yield on the two-year Treasury has exceeded the 10-year yield, suggesting that markets expect a recession soon. Many analysts say, though, that comparing the 3-month yield to the 10-year has a better recession-forecasting track record. Those rates are not inverted now, though the gap has narrowed.
___
WILL THE FED KEEP RAISING RATES EVEN AS THE ECONOMY SLOWS?
The economy’s flashing signals — slowing growth with strong hiring — have put the Fed in a tough spot. Chair Jerome Powell is aiming for a “soft landing,” in which the economy weakens enough to slow hiring and wage growth without causing a recession and brings inflation back to the Fed’s 2% target.
But Powell has acknowledged that such an outcome has grown more difficult to achieve. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and China’s COVID-19 lockdowns have driven up prices for energy food, and many manufactured parts in the U.S.
Powell has also indicated that if necessary, the Fed will keep raising rates even amid a weak economy if that’s what’s needed to tame inflation.
“Is there a risk that we would go too far?” Powell asked last month. “Certainly there’s a risk, but I wouldn’t agree that’s the biggest risk to the economy. The biggest mistake to make…would be to fail to restore price stability.” | https://www.bigcountryhomepage.com/news/business/ap-business/explainer-how-do-we-know-when-a-recession-has-begun-2/ | 2022-08-06T08:38:53Z | https://www.bigcountryhomepage.com/news/business/ap-business/explainer-how-do-we-know-when-a-recession-has-begun-2/ | true | 68 |
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — U.N. experts report that North Korea is testing “nuclear triggering devices” and that its preparations for another nuclear test were at a final stage in June, quoting information from unnamed countries.
The panel of experts said in new excerpts from their latest report obtained Friday by The Associated Press that they have been “unable to identify the test locations and dates” for the tests of nuclear triggering devices reported by one U.N. member state.
In excerpts obtained Thursday, the experts said North Korea is paving the way for additional nuclear tests with new preparations at its northeastern test site and continues to develop its capability to produce a key ingredient for nuclear weapons.
In the new excerpt, the panel said: “As of early June, two member states assessed that the preparation for nuclear tests was at a final stage.”
On other issues, the panel said in Thursday’s excerpts that North Korea conducted two major hacks this year, resulting in the theft of cryptocurrency assets worth “hundreds of millions of dollars.” Pyongyang also continues illicitly importing oil and exporting coal in violation of U.N. sanctions, using the same companies, networks and vessels, it said.
South Korean and U.S. intelligence officials have said they detected North Korean efforts to prepare its northeastern Punggye-ri testing ground for another nuclear test. It would be the North’s seventh since 2006 and the first since September 2017, when it claimed to have detonated a thermonuclear bomb to fit on its intercontinental ballistic missiles.
The panel of experts’ report to the U.N. Security Council provides some details of the work being carried out at the site by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, the country’s official name.
The experts said they observed that the DPRK started re-excavation work in March at the entrance to Tunnel 3 at Punggye-ri “and reconstructed support buildings originally dismantled in May 2018.”
“Satellite imagery showed increased numbers of vehicle tracks around this secondary entrance from mid-February 2022, followed by construction of a new building adjacent to the entrance at the beginning of March,” the panel said. “A pile of lumber, for possible use in the construction of the tunnel structure, was also detected around the same time.”
It added that, “Piles of soil from the tunnel excavation around the entrance were observed during this period.”
“Work at the Punggye-ri nuclear test site paves the way for additional nuclear tests for the development of nuclear weapons,” the experts said, adding that this is an objective stated at the Eighth Congress of the country’s ruling Workers’ Party of Korea in January 2021.
Robert Floyd, head of the U.N. nuclear test ban treaty organization, told a U.N. press conference Friday that its monitoring facilities detected the six previous DPRK nuclear tests. “If there is a seventh time, I’m very confident our system will pick it up, we’ll characterize it, and that information then gets shared with the states of the world,” he said.
Floyd is attending the high-level conference reviewing the landmark Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty which began Monday and ends on Aug. 26. Under the NPT’s provisions, the five original nuclear powers — the United States, China, Russia (then the Soviet Union), Britain and France — agreed to negotiate toward eliminating their arsenals someday and nations without nuclear weapons promised not to acquire them in exchange for a guarantee to be able to develop nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.
Floyd raised the question of whether the possibility of a seventh DPRK nuclear test will strengthen or weaken nonproliferation and disarmament arrangements, “and the appetite of states to see these things come into place.”
“I wonder as to how much that is actually feeding into the tone that we’ve heard this week during the review conference, where there was quite a deal of accommodation of various positions,” he said.
“I wonder whether the states are recognizing at a time such as this it is really important to be able to strengthen the NPT and to come together around some of these very important issues, rather than, `Oh, this is a reason we should abandon such an important thing as the cornerstone of nuclear architecture,’” Floyd said.
In another aspect of the DPRK’s nuclear program, analysts said satellite images last September showed that North Korea was expanding a uranium enrichment plant at its main Yongbyon nuclear complex, a sign that it wanted to boost production of the key bomb material.
The U.N. experts said in the new report: “DPRK continued to develop its capability for the production of nuclear fissile materials at the Yongbyon site.”
Nuclear negotiations between the United States and North Korea have stalled since 2019 over disagreements over the DPRK demand to lift crippling U.S.-led sanctions and Washington’s demand for significant steps by Pyongyang toward nuclear disarmament.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has expanded his ballistic missile program amid the diplomatic pause, and analysts say another nuclear test would escalate his brinkmanship aimed at cementing the North’s status as a nuclear power, and negotiating economic and security concessions from a position of strength.
The panel of experts said the DPRK continued to accelerate its missile programs, launching 31 missiles “combining ballistic and guidance technologies,” including six ICBMs and two “explicitly described as ballistic weapons.” It said the DPRK also claimed to have advanced its development of “tactical nuclear weapons.” | https://kdvr.com/news/nationalworld-news/ap-international/un-experts-report-north-korea-is-testing-nuclear-triggers/ | 2022-08-06T08:43:22Z | https://kdvr.com/news/nationalworld-news/ap-international/un-experts-report-north-korea-is-testing-nuclear-triggers/ | true | 24 |

Seahawks hope RB room proves to be more than Rashaad Penny
RENTON, Wash. (AP) — As recent years have shown, keeping their running backs healthy for an entire season has been an issue for the Seattle Seahawks.
So while the Seahawks are going into this season with the intention of using Rashaad Penny as their featured back, it seems more likely the depth of Seattle’s running backs room — especially with the expected style of the offense — will be tested at some point.
Penny closed last season in an impressive manner, which Seattle hopes is a precursor for this year, but he also has a lengthy injury history.
That’s where rookie Ken Walker III comes in. And Deejay Dallas, going into his third season. And Travis Homer entering his fourth year. If the Seahawks are going to lean heavily on the run game to be productive offensively, especially with the uncertainty at quarterback, it’s going to take more than one ball carrier to get that done.
“We’re just a group of hungry guys. We call ourselves the pack. The wolfpack. Crazy, you know?” Dallas said with a chuckle. “I think we all just push each other. We’ve got a great group of guys."
Penny knows this is a prove-it season because of his past health struggles. The six-game flash he had at the end of last season was Penny finally displaying the promise that came with being a first-round pick. The fact he finally got there led to a mixture of relief, frustration and the realization that it was just a small snippet with plenty left to prove.
“It was no surprise to me because I always knew what I could do. I think the hard part was just me getting to play on Sundays,” Penny said. “I think that was really the most difficult thing for me and now that I’m feeling healthy and feeling at my best, I can’t wait to actually take off this year. Having all these guys in the running back room... | https://www.iheartradio.ca/am-1150/seahawks-hope-rb-room-proves-to-be-more-than-rashaad-penny-1.18336260 | 2022-08-06T08:48:09Z | https://www.iheartradio.ca/am-1150/seahawks-hope-rb-room-proves-to-be-more-than-rashaad-penny-1.18336260 | true | 1 |

Shockingly, Google finished rolling out the Google product reviews update on August 2nd and didn’t even tell us on social. We are seeing some volatility and fluctuations in Google Search may be due to the Google Product Reviews update starting late last Friday and the tools noticed it on Wednesday but that was after it was done rolling out. Google added new links to content guidelines, one of those guidelines was for best SEO practices for bloggers which were later removed. Google is still moving sites over to mobile-first indexing, over 5 and a half years later. Google Search Console temporarily suspended the validate fix feature during some classification changes. John Mueller from Google had a beautiful SEO rant, which some might not like. Google changed how it shows snippets for search results with quoted text. Google is testing “perspectives” in the search results. Google is testing site names and favicons for image results in web searches. Google is loading new people also ask in the footer. Google is also showing the view in 3D for some products again. Google Business Profiles is testing an expandable menu for editing your listing. Google added Asian-owned attributes for Google Business Profiles. Discovery Ads now work with Google Ads Editor and Api and more... Google has a new tag, called the Google Tag. Microsoft Advertising released a boat load of features including rolling out automotive ads, new ad formats, more bidding options, and more. Google’s secret algorithm may be exposed to Rumble due to a legal ruling. And if you want to help sponsor those vlogs, go to patreon.com/barryschwartz.

Taiwan says China military drills appear to simulate attack
BEIJING (AP) — Taiwan said Saturday that China’s military drills appear to simulate an attack on the self-ruled island, after multiple Chinese warships and aircraft crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait.
Taiwan’s armed forces issued an alert, dispatched air and naval patrols around the island, and activated land-based missile systems in response to the situation, Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense said on Twitter.
China launched live-fire military drills following U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s trip to Taiwan earlier this week, saying that her visit violated the “one-China” policy. China sees the island as a breakaway province to be annexed by force if necessary, and considers visits to Taiwan by foreign officials as recognizing its sovereignty.
Separately on Saturday, Taiwan’s army detected four unmanned aerial vehicles flying in the vicinity of the offshore county of Kinmen, Taiwan’s Central News Agency reported.
The four drones, which Taiwan believed were Chinese, were spotted over waters around the Kinmen island group and the nearby Lieyu Island and Beiding islet, according to Taiwan’s Kinmen Defense Command.
Taiwan’s military fired warning flares in response.
“Our government & military are closely monitoring China’s military exercises & information warfare operations, ready to respond as necessary,” Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen said in a tweet.
“I call on the international community to support democratic Taiwan & halt any escalation of the regional security situation,” she added.
Kinmen, also known as Quemoy, is a group of islands administered by Taiwan. The islands are located roughly 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) east of the Chinese coastal city of Xiamen in Fujian province.
The Chinese military exercises began Thursday and are expected to last until Sunday. So far, the drills have included missile strikes on targets in the seas north and south of the island in an echo of the last major Chinese military drills in 1995 and 1996 aimed at intimidating Taiwan’s leaders and voters.
Taiwan has put its military on alert and staged civil defense drills, while the U.S. has numerous naval assets in the area.
The Biden administration and Pelosi have said the U.S. remains committed to a “one-China” policy, which recognizes Beijing as the government of China but allows informal relations and defense ties with Taipei. The administration discouraged but did not prevent Pelosi from visiting.
China has also cut off defense talks with the U.S. and imposed sanctions on Pelosi in retaliation for the visit.
Pelosi has been a long-time advocate of human rights in China. She, along with other lawmakers, visited Beijing’s Tiananmen Square in 1991 to support democracy two years after a bloody military crackdown on protesters at the square.

Alia Bhatt reveals how Ranbir Kapoor began prep for Brahmastra in 2016, shares new BTS video. Watch
On Saturday, Alia Bhatt shared new details about her upcoming film Brahmastra. Ahead of its second song Deva Deva’s release, she treated fans to a glimpse of Ranbir Kapoor from the sets and shared how they filmed scenes before the film's team added the high-quality VFX to the film. The video also featured director Ayan Mukerji narrating how the concept of the film came into being. (Also read: Alia Bhatt reveals the special gesture Ranbir Kapoor did for her in between shots on Brahmastra sets)
The video began with Ranbir Kapoor on the sets back in 2016 as they began working on Brahmastra. Next, it featured the final product of the film which boasts an 'amazing cinematic experience'. Ayan candidly revealed his thoughts around Brahmastra right from the time when he was working on his second film Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani, which also starred Ranbir.
Ayan said, “The journey of Brahmastra began in 2011 on a writing trip in Shimla. My first feature film had released at that point of time and I was working on the script of my second movie (Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani). I have always felt a very powerful energy, a strong spirituality in our Mountains. And, I truly believe that it’s from the energy of the Himalayas that the vision of Brahmastra was born.”
Brahmastra took five years to make and is the first part of a trilogy, which will be Bollywood's own cinematic universe--the Astraverse. The video also gave a sneak-peek into its two parts, which are yet to be titled. Sharing the video, Alia wrote, “How it all began … a glimpse into our prep .. and the journey of Brahmastra.”
The Ayan Mukerji directorial marks the first collaboration between Alia and Ranbir who fell in love while working on the sets. Besides them, it also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna, and Mouni Roy. The movie will release in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam, on September 9. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/heres-how-ranbir-kapoor-began-prep-for-brahmastra-in-2016-watch-bts-video-101659774619327-amp.html | 2022-08-06T09:03:00Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/heres-how-ranbir-kapoor-began-prep-for-brahmastra-in-2016-watch-bts-video-101659774619327-amp.html | true | 2 |

Roberto Firmino Tipped To Start Ahead Of Darwin Nunez In Liverpool Premier League Opener Against Fulham
Roberto Firmino is likely to get the nod over new signing Darwin Nunez when Liverpool face Fulham on Saturday.
Jurgen Klopp’s team take on the West London club at Craven Cottage looking to get their Premier League campaign off to the best possible start with a victory.
Liverpool Team News
Klopp has been hit with something of an injury crisis during pre-season and will be missing a number of players for the clash.
Caoimhin Kelleher, Calvin Ramsay, Ibrahima Konate, Kostas Tsimikas, Curtis Jones, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Diogo Jota are all ruled out through injury.
Naby Keita missed Monday's friendly defeat to Ligue 1 side Strasbourg through illness and remains doubtful.
In more positive news for Klopp, Alisson Becker has now returned to full fitness and should replace Adrian in goal.

Firmino v Nunez
According to Paul Joyce of The Times, Liverpool’s Brazilian, Firmino, is likely to be picked by Klopp to start the match with 23-year-old Nunez on the bench.
‘Roberto Firmino is likely to feature up front ahead of Núñez, who joined from Benfica in the summer for a fee that could reach £85 million.’
LFCTR Verdict
It will be no surprise to see Klopp opt for the same formula that worked so well in Liverpool’s 3-1 Community Shield victory over rivals Manchester City where Nunez entered the fray with 30 minutes to go to seal victory.

World Bank accuses Lebanese politicians of cruelty over deposit promises
BEIRUT, Aug 3 (Reuters) - The World Bank accused Lebanese politicians of being cruel by asserting that deposits in the country's collapsed banking sector are sacred, saying such slogans "flagrantly contradict the reality" in a report on Wednesday.
Lebanon is in the third year of a financial meltdown that has left eight in ten people poor and which the World Bank says is deliberate and may be one of the three worst in modern times.
The new report marked the second time this year the World Bank has berated Lebanon's ruling politicians, having accused them in January of "orchestrating" the country's catastrophic economic meltdown through their exploitative grip on resources.
The collapse has frozen depositors out of savings in the paralysed banking system, and led the local currency to lose more than 90% of its value.
"Political slogans for the sacrosanct of deposits are hollow and opportunistic; in fact, the constant abuse of this term by politicians is cruel," the World Bank said in a report.
"Not only does it flagrantly contradict reality, it prevents solutions to protect most, if not all small and medium depositors, in dollars and in cash," the report said.
Lebanese politicians often say depositors' rights must be preserved in any plan to address losses of some $70 billion in the financial system, even as their savings have lost around 80% of their value due to the collapse.
"Losses should have been accepted and carried by bank shareholders and large creditors, who have profited greatly over the last 30 years from a very unequal economic model," the World Bank said.
"This should have occurred at beginning of the crisis ... to limit the economic and social pain."
Lebanese banks lent heavily to the state, which wracked up huge debts largely due to corruption and bad governance. The World Bank report said "a significant portion" of people savings had been "misused and mispent over the past 30 years".
The former government drew up a plan to address the losses in 2020, but it was torpedoed by sectarian factions that have the final say in Beirut, and objections from the banking sector and the central bank.
A new plan approved in May has also run into objections.
The International Monetary Fund wants Lebanon to approve a banking restructuring plan as one of a list of preconditions to move forward with a draft funding agreement.
The World Bank report questions to what extent authorities met financing needs through a Ponzi scheme - a type of scam that pays back investors with money from new investors.
The earlier necessary "reforms will be initiated, the less painful the cost of Ponzi Finance will be on the Lebanese people", it said.
A Lebanese government spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Last month, the heavy rock band Nine Inch Nails stepped away from its longtime major label and released the instrumental album Ghosts I-IV on the Internet. The band, led by singer and songwriter Trent Reznor, offered some tracks for free, but sold fans various special editions at premium prices — the total haul for the first week was reported to exceed $1.6 million. This week, the project gets a traditional CD release.
Reznor spent most of the 1990s belting out misanthropic anthems for young people decked out in dark eyeliner and combat boots. These records are built around his vocals, but they're equally notable for their thick, temple-of-doom soundscapes. On his new release, Reznor drops the singing and puts those atmospheres in the center ring.
Without the vocals, it's a whole new world. You can hear Reznor exploring rhythms and textures outside of his comfort zone.
On several of these short pieces, Reznor creates ambient drones like the ones Brian Eno pioneered in the 1970s. Then, he adds melodies that aspire to the introspective stillness of French composer Erik Satie's piano music. The result is transfixing.
Like Radiohead's recent In Rainbows, this new Nine Inch Nails release is another example of an established act walking away from a big label and finding creative ways to reach diehard fans. It also allows Reznor to share sketches and experiments — an overly generous 36 of them. It's exactly the kind of move that would have terrified the executives at Reznor's former label.

Which Taste of the Wild dog food is best?
For your dog to lead a happy and healthy life, it needs the right food. Taste of the Wild, a U.S.-based dog food producer, believes in simulating a pet’s ancestral diet.
This idea results in recipes high in quality protein from several animal sources backed by probiotics, antioxidants and vitamins. It offers formulas both free of grains and incorporating ancient grains. The top formula, Taste of the Wild Ancient Stream Salmon, is a comprehensive recipe providing support for dogs of all ages and sizes.
What to know before you buy Taste of the Wild dog food
Dog food lines
Taste of the Wild offers three lines of dog food.
- The main Taste of the Wild series includes grain-free formulas led by quality protein sources with names evoking nature, such as Pacific Stream and High Prairie. The protein sources, such as beef, bison, lamb and fowl, are based on a dog’s ancestral diet.
- The Ancient Grains line features millet, quinoa grain sorghum and chia seed paired with protein and fiber. Animal ingredients include venison, salmon, lamb, fowl or bison.
- The Prey line offers limited-ingredient recipes for dogs with specific allergies and sensitivities. The main sources of protein include beef, trout and turkey. Each formula includes lentils, tomato byproduct and sunflower oil.
Dry vs. wet food
Taste of the Wild offers both dry dog food, known as kibble, as well as canned wet food.
- Most owners prefer dry food, as it is economical, lasts a long time and is easy to serve. Taste of the Wild kibble is flat and round with a diameter about the same as a dime.
- Wet food is best for small dogs or those with gum or teeth issues because it is soft and easier to eat than dry food. Wet food provides hydration to dogs who don’t drink enough.
Size
Most dry food formulas are offered in small, medium or large bags. The smallest size is around 5 to 8 pounds, while the medium size is around 14 pounds. The largest bags are typically 25 to 28 pounds. The price per pound decreases as bag size goes up, so consider opting for the biggest size available provided your dog enjoys the food and will consume it all within about three months.
Wet food is sold in 13.2-ounce cans and comes in packs of six or 12.
What to look for in quality Taste of the Wild dog food
Ingredients
Listed in order of most weight to least, note the first four or five ingredients in every formula because these will make up a majority of the recipe. The first ingredient will be an animal protein source, followed by fruits, vegetables or grains.
Look for probiotics to aid in digestion and omega fatty acids to enhance the skin and coat.
Life stages
Most Taste of the Wild formulas are designed for dogs of all life stages. This means they meet the nutritional requirements for puppies, adults and seniors alike. Taste of the Wild also offers two puppy-specific formulas. The limited-ingredients Prey line is suitable for only adults and seniors.
Dog size
Appalachian Valley Small Breed Canine Recipe is ideal for active adult dogs more petite in stature. It features smaller, denser kibble so a smaller dog can get enough energy and nutrients from a smaller meal.
There is no large breed-specific formula, as all of the Taste of the Wild support large dogs.
How much you can expect to spend on Taste of the Wild dog food
Small bags cost around $20 with medium costing around $40 and large bags nearing $60. A 12-pack of wet dog food runs about $35.
Taste of the Wild dog food FAQ
How should I introduce a new formula to my dog?
A. A new formula should be slowly introduced and mixed in with old food to avoid any digestive distress. Start by integrating one-quarter of the new food to the former. Every few days, up the new food percentage and decrease the old until the transition is complete.
Are grain-free formulas healthier?
A. Grain-free formulas exploded in popularity in the last five years spurred in part by more humans avoiding some grains as well as a belief that dogs should adhere to an ancestral diet. However, the American Kennel Association dispels the myth that grain is bad for dogs.
In 2019, the Food and Drug Administration investigated links between canine heart disease known as dilated cardiomyopathy and grain-free diets. However, the FDA has not found a link to date. For concerns or questions about DCM, consult your veterinarian.

Botafogo tries its first victory in the return of the Brazilian championship this Saturday (6) in front of the Ceará, at 4:30 pm, at Nilton Santos Stadium, for the 21st round of the competition. Glorioso is coming off a defeat to Corinthians, but has shown some evolution under the command of Luís Castro in recent games.
The constant physical problems affected Botafogo this week as well. Lucas Piazon, Lucas Mezenga, Marçal and Hugo were not related, as well as the right-back Rafael, already recovered but still looking for the best physical shape. On the other hand, Carli, Cuesta, Del Piage and Eduardo were once again related.
Because of this, Luís Castro must make changes in all sectors in relation to the initial formation of the game against Corinthians. In defense, Kanu and Adryelson fight for the spot next to Philipe Sampaio, and DG should be the starter on the left. In the middle, Eduardo returns after feeling unwell and fever. And, in the attack, Luis Henrique is the favorite to form the trio with Jeffinho and Erison.
Botafogo embezzlement
Luís Castro will not be able to count on left-back Hugo, defender Lucas Mezenga and midfielder Lucas Piazon – the problems were not reported. Marçal, who left the game against Corinthians with thigh pain, is also out. Carlinhos, Diego Gonçalves, Breno, Gustavo Sauer and Kayque complete the DM list. Rafael and Victor Sá, despite having trained with the ball, were not related.
Hanging from Botafogo
Defender Philipe Sampaio, midfielder Del Piage, midfielder Lucas Fernandes and striker Erison are suspended with two yellow cards, in addition to coach Luís Castro and assistant Vítor Severino. If someone on this list receives a card this Saturday, they will not be able to participate in the duel against Atlético-GO, next Saturday, again at Nilton Santos Stadium.
Opponent – Ceara
After losing to São Paulo on Wednesday in the quarterfinals of the Copa Sudamericana, Ceará remained in SP to prepare for the duel against Botafogo. Coach Marquinhos Santos will be able to count again on striker Erick, who has recovered from a collarbone injury, and Jhon Vásquez, in addition to Richard, who has served a suspension. Rodrigo Lindoso, Bruno Pacheco, Dentinho, Rigonato and Matheus Peixoto, injured, and Richardson, suspended, are absent.

Blinken chides China's 'irresponsible' cut in U.S. communication channels
By David Brunnstrom
MANILA, Aug 6 (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken accused China of "irresponsible steps" on Saturday by halting key communication channels with Washington, and said its Taiwan actions showed a move from prioritising peaceful resolution towards use of force.
His comments came as Chinese aircraft and warships practised on Saturday for an attack on Taiwan, island officials said, part of a raft of steps taken by Beijing after a visit by U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi earlier this week.
China's retaliation in stopping bilateral processes in eight key areas including defence, narcotics, transnational crime and climate change were moves that would punish the world, not just the United States, Blinken told a news conference in Manila.
"Those include several military to military channels, which are vital for avoiding miscommunication and avoid crisis," he said.
"Suspending climate cooperation doesn't punish the United States, it punishes the world, particularly the developing world. We should not hold hostage cooperation on matters of global concern because of differences between our two countries."
Tackling climate change has been a key area of cooperation between the two superpowers and two biggest emitters of greenhouse gas emissions.
Blinken said the United States had been hearing concern from allies about what he called China's dangerous and destabilising actions around Taiwan, but Washington would remain steady in its handling of the situation.
He said he had conveyed to China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi at a regional meeting in Cambodia that the United States was determined to keep communication channels going to prevent miscalculations, as countries around the world expected them to.
"So let me be clear, the United States doesn't believe that it's in the interest of Taiwan, the region, or our own national security to escalate the situation," he said.
"We'll keep our channels of communication with China open, with the intent of avoiding escalation due to misunderstanding or miscommunication."
He added: "Maintaining dialogue is arguably even more important when we're in a period of heightened tensions ... We seek to deescalate those tensions. And we think dialogue is a very important element of that."

Infrastructure-as-code (IaC) is often seen as a deployment tool. Write code to describe your infrastructure – either at a low level like Terraform or Cloudformation, or at a high level like the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK). But Infrastructure-as-code is naturally part of the continuous deployment (CD) process, but increasingly is finding its way into continuous integration (CI).
Infrastructure-as-code is becoming build-as-code.
Take this hypothetical scenario – you want to deploy every new commit that's merged into the main branch to a development environment. As part of your CI/CD, you'll run a command that compiles the IaC and deploys it. But it's necessary to connect that code to the newly built artifacts from the build pipeline. Connecting the two can be tricky. Unnecessary re-deployments on artifacts that haven't really changed (you'll need to reference them by checksum). Parameterized templates in your IaC – an unchecked link between the place where the build pipeline uploads and the deployment pipeline downloads.
CDK already has constructs that can point to a Dockerfile or zip file and build and deploy that to a lambda function or endpoint. But first-class build support is the logical next step. That will lead to better caching, better user experience, and an overall easier pipeline from code to deployment. | https://matt-rickard.com/vertical-workflow-engines | 2022-08-06T09:37:53Z | https://matt-rickard.com/vertical-workflow-engines | true | 1 |
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Israel unleashed a wave of airstrikes Friday on Gaza, killing at least 10 people, including a senior militant, according to Palestinian officials. Israel said it targeted the Islamic Jihad militant group in response to an “imminent threat” following the recent arrest of another senior militant.
Hours later, Palestinian militants launched a barrage of rockets as air-raid sirens wailed in Israel and the two sides drew closer to another all-out war. Islamic Jihad claimed to have fired 100 rockets.
Israel and Gaza’s militant Hamas rulers have fought four wars and several smaller battles over the last 15 years at a staggering cost to the territory’s 2 million Palestinian residents.
A blast was heard in Gaza City, where smoke poured out of the seventh floor of a tall building. Video released by Israel’s military showed the strikes blowing up three guard towers with suspected militants in them.
In a nationally televised speech, Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid said his country launched the attacks based on “concrete threats.”
“This government has a zero-tolerance policy for any attempted attacks — of any kind — from Gaza towards Israeli territory,” Lapid said. “Israel will not sit idly by when there are those who are trying to harm its civilians.”
He added that “Israel isn’t interested in a broader conflict in Gaza but will not shy away from one either.”
The violence poses an early test for Lapid, who assumed the role of caretaker prime minister ahead of elections in November, when he hopes to keep the position. He has experience in diplomacy, having served as foreign minister in the outgoing government, but his security credentials are thin.
Hamas also faces a dilemma in deciding whether to join a new battle barely a year after the last war caused widespread devastation. There has been almost no reconstruction since then, and the isolated coastal territory is mired in poverty, with unemployment hovering around 50%.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said a 5-year-old girl and a 23-year-old woman were among those killed in Gaza, without differentiating between civilian and militant casualties. The Israeli military said early estimates were that around 15 fighters were killed. Dozens of people were wounded.
Islamic Jihad said Taiseer al-Jabari, its commander for northern Gaza, was among the dead. He had succeeded another militant killed in an airstrike in 2019.
An Israeli military spokesman said the strikes were in response to an “imminent threat” from two militant squads armed with anti-tank missiles.
The spokesman, who briefed reporters on condition of anonymity, said al-Jabari was deliberately targeted and had been responsible for “multiple attacks” on Israel.
Hundreds marched in a funeral procession for him and others who were killed, with many mourners waving Palestinian and Islamic Jihad flags and calling for revenge.
Israeli media showed the skies above southern and central Israel lighting up with rockets and interceptors from Israel’s Iron Dome missile-defense system. An explosion was heard in Tel Aviv.
It wasn’t immediately clear how many rockets were launched, and there was no immediate word on any casualties on the Israeli side.
Israel continued to strike other targets Friday, including weapon-production facilities and Islamic Jihad positions.
The U.N. special envoy to the region, Tor Wennesland, said he was “deeply concerned.”
“The launching of rockets must cease immediately, and I call on all sides to avoid further escalation,” he said.
Following the initial Israeli strikes, a few hundred people gathered outside the morgue at Gaza City’s main Shifa hospital. Some went in to identify loved ones and emerged later in tears.
“May God take revenge against spies,” shouted one, referring to Palestinian informants who cooperate with Israel.
Defense Minister Benny Gantz approved an order to call up 25,000 reserve soldiers if needed while the military announced a “special situation” on the home front, with schools closed and limits placed on activities in communities within 80 kilometers (50 miles) of the border.
Israel closed roads around Gaza earlier this week and sent reinforcements to the border as it braced for a revenge attack after Monday’s arrest of Bassam al-Saadi, an Islamic Jihad leader, in a military raid in the occupied West Bank. A teenage member of the group was killed in a gunbattle between the Israeli troops and Palestinian militants.
Hamas seized power in the coastal strip from rival Palestinian forces in 2007. Its most recent war with Israel was in May 2021, and tensions soared again earlier this year following a wave of attacks inside Israel, near-daily military operations in the West Bank and tensions at a flashpoint Jerusalem holy site.
Islamic Jihad leader Ziad al-Nakhalah, speaking to Al-Mayadeen TV network from Iran, said “fighters of the Palestinian resistance have to stand together to confront this aggression.” He said there would be “no red lines” and blamed the violence on Israel.
Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum said “the Israeli enemy, which started the escalation against Gaza and committed a new crime, must pay the price and bear full responsibility for it.”
Islamic Jihad is smaller than Hamas but largely shares its ideology. Both groups are opposed to Israel’s existence and have carried out scores of deadly attacks over the years, including the firing of rockets into Israel. It’s unclear how much control Hamas has over Islamic Jihad, and Israel holds Hamas responsible for all attacks emanating from Gaza.
Israel and Egypt have maintained a tight blockade over the territory since the Hamas takeover. Israel says the closure is needed to prevent Hamas from building up its military capabilities, while critics say the policy amounts to collective punishment.
Mohammed Abu Selmia, director of the Shifa hospital, said hospitals faced shortages after Israel imposed a full closure on Gaza earlier this week. He said there were enough supplies and essential drugs to sustain hospitals for five days in normal times, but that with a new round of fighting underway, “they may run out at any moment.”
Israel called off an expected fuel delivery for Gaza’s sole power plant, which was expected to shut down early Saturday if the fuel did not enter the territory. Even when the plant is running at full capacity, Gazans still endure daily power outages that last several hours.
Earlier Friday, a couple of hundred Israelis protested near the Gaza Strip to demand the return of the remains of two Israeli soldiers held by Hamas.
The protesters were led by the family of Hadar Goldin, who along with Oron Shaul was killed in the 2014 Gaza war. Hamas is still holding their remains, as well as two Israeli civilians who strayed into Gaza and are believed to be mentally ill, hoping to exchange them for some of the thousands of Palestinian prisoners held by Israel.
Israel says there can be no major moves toward lifting the blockade until the soldiers’ remains and captive civilians are released. Israel and Hamas have held numerous rounds of Egyptian-mediated talks on a possible swap. | http://www.virginislandsdailynews.com/ap/israeli-strikes-on-gaza-kill-10-including-senior-militant/article_7b133b61-f12b-52ed-afb2-4b9448ef21cb.html | 2022-08-06T09:38:08Z | http://www.virginislandsdailynews.com/ap/israeli-strikes-on-gaza-kill-10-including-senior-militant/article_7b133b61-f12b-52ed-afb2-4b9448ef21cb.html | true | 21 |
BANGKOK (AP) — At least 13 people were killed and dozens injured when a fire broke out early Friday morning at a crowded music pub in eastern Thailand, police and rescue workers said.
Video circulating on social media showed people fleeing the pub while thick black smoke billowed from the door and then the entrance through which people were escaping was suddenly engulfed in flames. Several people’s clothing was on fire as they emerged from the pub. Rescue workers said more than three dozen people were injured.
The cause of the fire at the Mountain B pub in Sattahip district of Chonburi province, about 160 kilometers (100 miles) southeast of Bangkok, is under investigation, provincial police chief Maj. Gen. Atthasit Kijjahan told PPTV television news. He said the pub’s owner and staff were giving statements at the police station and the police forensic team would be collecting evidence at the scene. Police said the fire was reported around 12:45 a.m.
Several witnesses described seeing smoke and fire on the ceiling near the venue’s stage followed by the sound of explosions.
“The fire started at the top right corner of the stage,” a witness identified only as Nana told PPTV. “The singer must have seen it too, so he shouted ‘fire’ and threw away the microphone.”
“I am quite shocked. But I am lucky that when I saw the fire, I could get myself together and get out of there,” she said, adding that she saw several pub security guards with their clothing on fire.
A waitress at the venue, Thanyapat Sornsuwanhiran, also told Thai television reporters that she saw smoke near the stage.
“I shouted ‘fire’ to customers, and I was near the doors, so I directed them out. I kept shouting ‘fire, fire’ and the security guards were also helping lead people out,” she said.
Police chief Atthasit said the club had three entrances: at the front, on the side near the cashier for unloading goods and at the back. Thai public television station TPBS reported that the back door is often locked.
A DJ at the pub who did not identify himself told PPTV that the fire had spread quickly, in about a minute, when he heard the sound of an explosion, shattering windows.
The pub was lined with flammable soundproofing, and it took two hours for firefighters to put out the blaze, Manop Theprith of a private emergency services group told the television station. His group said 40 people were injured.
One of Thailand’s deadliest fires in recent decades was at a nightclub in the capital, Bangkok, during a 2008-2009 New Year’s Eve celebration, when 66 people were killed and more 200 injured. That blaze at the Santika nightclub also began on the ceiling above a stage, apparently sparked by an indoors fireworks display. Toxic smoke flooded the venue as the entire club caught fire. | https://www.dcnewsnow.com/news/top-stories/ap-top-headlines/fire-at-music-pub-in-eastern-thailand-kills-at-least-13/ | 2022-08-06T09:38:50Z | https://www.dcnewsnow.com/news/top-stories/ap-top-headlines/fire-at-music-pub-in-eastern-thailand-kills-at-least-13/ | true | 32 |
Hogan Lovells has announce that it has advised Barak Fund and TriLinc on an 8-year USD425m facility with Genser Energy Ghana (“Genser”).
The facility will be used to refinance existing debt and finance the next phase of expansion projects including: a 100km natural gas pipeline to Ghana’s second largest city, Kumasi, a 200mmscfd gas conditioning plant at Prestea, Ghana and a Natural Gas Liquid (“NGL”) storage terminal at Takoradi Port as a major step in Genser’s decarbonization strategy to achieve net zero carbon by 2035.
Laurie Hammond, partner at Hogan Lovells says: “We are delighted to have been involved in this significant infrastructure deal for Ghana and West Africa, having worked with lenders on funding into Genser Energy Ghana, a market leading and innovative African energy business, since 2017. We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate all involved on this successful closing”.
The construction of the natural gas pipeline to Kumasi and the gas processing plant in Prestea will have significant economic and environmental benefits not only for Genser but also for Ghana and the West African sub-region. The transaction will support Genser’s diversification from power to the gas midstream sector and mark a significant milestone in its decarbonization strategy to achieve net zero carbon by 2035 whilst contributing significantly to Ghana’s national climate change targets on emission reduction.
The availability of cheaper and readily accessible piped natural gas in Kumasi and the central belt of Ghana via the new pipeline will encourage industries to switch from imported trucked diesel and heavy fuel oil (HFO) to indigenous natural gas as a low-carbon intensive fuel. The pipeline will also support relocation of power plants from coastal regions to reduce line losses and improve efficiency on the national grid. Moreover, the gas conditioning plant will produce cleaner fuels and establish Ghana as a significant producer and exporter of Natural Gas Liquids (NGLs).
Concurrent with the fundraising, Genser signed an offtake agreement with Trafigura PTE Limited (“Trafigura”) for 100% of NGLs, primarily propane, butane and ethane, as well as Liquified Natural Gas (“LNG”) to be produced from the gas conditioning plant in Prestea. In addition, Trafigura invested USD45m in Genser’s existing mezzanine loans and provided a further USD7.5m to build increased storage capacity at the proposed Takoradi NGL Terminal.
The senior loan facility was provided by a consortium of international banks and funds comprised of Standard Bank, ABSA Bank, Société Générale, Mauritius Commercial Bank, Ninety One, Barak Fund SPC Limited, the Development Bank of Southern Africa and Barak Fund SPC Limited.
The Mezzanine Loan Facility was provided by Trafigura Asia Trading Pte. Ltd, Barak Fund SPC Limited and Trilinc Global Sustainable Income Fund Master Ltd.
Genser Energy was advised in this transaction by Northcott Capital Limited as financial advisers and Clifford Chance LLP as legal advisers. Barak Fund and TriLinc were advised by Hogan Lovells. Trafigura was advised by Latham & Watkins. The Senior Lenders were advised by Trinity LLP (Legal), Advisian – Worley Group (Technical) and Indecs Consulting Limited (Insurance).
Baafour Asiamah-Adjei, Genser’s President and CEO, stated: “This transaction underscores the hard work and considerable dedication by the management, employees and stakeholders of Genser to make it an attractive and highly valued investment. I would like to thank our existing Lenders [Standard Bank of South Africa, Absa Bank, Barak Fund SPC Limited and the Development Bank of Southern Africa] who have shown considerable support and commitment to Genser over many years. I am also delighted to welcome our new Lenders Société Générale, Mauritius Commercial Bank and Ninety One, as well as Trafigura as an investor and strategic partner for Genser”.
Cyril Amadi, Managing Director, Northcott Capital stated: “We are very pleased that Genser has again entrusted Northcott to advise on another milestone transaction in the African Energy space. In 2019 we supported the company to successfully restructure their debt followed by the diversification of the shareholder base with significant investments in 2021 which set the stage for this transaction as one of the largest financings for a Ghanaian private company in international markets. The consortium of international financial institutions and investors re-affirms GEGL’s value proposition and business plan as one of the most successful and innovative African Energy solutions providers”. | https://newsghana.com.gh/barack-and-trilinc-advised-on-genser-energy-deal/ | 2022-08-06T09:40:52Z | https://newsghana.com.gh/barack-and-trilinc-advised-on-genser-energy-deal/ | false | 4 |
CENTREVILLE — The Animal Agriculture Alliance issued a warning Friday which the Maryland Farm Bureau shared alerting area farmers about a suspicious vehicle seen near two farms in Centreville — a poultry farm and a dairy farm.
A gray Dodge Challenger with tinted windows and possible Florida license plate entered a broiler farm site at 9:51 a.m. Friday, Aug. 5. The car drove onto the farm, past a designated parking area and biosecurity signs, and was stopped halfway down the driveway by the farm employee.
The employee spoke with the unidentified male driver. The man told the employee he had documentation to serve at the office. The farm employee informed the man there was no office at that location and asked him to leave the facility. The man made a call to someone who he said was his supervisor and left 10 minutes later.
The same farm employee was driving back to the farm site about 2 p.m. Friday and observed the same vehicle, this time with a flashing yellow light on top, parked on a farm road at the site of a local dairy farm. It was noted the car was parked directly in front of the calf hutches of the farm.
The employee contacted the dairy farmer to alert them of the incident, but the car left before dairy employees arrived.
