Putin growing desperate in failed Ukraine bid: 'Tempted to use small nuclear weapons'
VLADIMIR PUTIN will be "tempted" to use small nuclear weapons in Ukraine if his forces lose the war, a military expert has warned.
Russian MP Zhuravlyov threatens to murder German reporters
Russian President Vladimir Putin's future could be at stake as Ukraine's counteroffensive looks to drive Moscow's troops out of the country. Key battles are set to take place in the south and the east of Ukraine, where Russian forces have asserted control. Ukrainians are hoping to liberate cities such as Kherson and Mariupol, which remain under Russian occupation
Various reports in recent weeks have signalled that the Russian army is struggling for men and for supplies of ammunition, with Putin even said to have turned to North Korea for troops.
If the Russian president is unable to solve these issues and his army is ultimately defeated, he could face a "cataclysmic" downfall, according to one military expert.
This would have huge ramifications for Ukraine, however, as Putin will be tempted to use nuclear weapons, claims General Sir Richard Barrons.
He told Times Radio last week: "There are two big problems on the horizon, one is that Ukraine is now a completely mobilised society of about 35million people...when the fighting stops there will be deep tension in the region but the geography won't have changed, Russia will still be a neighbour of Ukraine.
"You'll have a society which will need to be demobilised....the cost of doing that will be as expensive as fighting the war has been so far.
"People tend to forget that the aftermath of the war is tricky and takes as long as the fighting itself.
"The second peril is, if Ukraine is successful and Putin is still in power, the sense is that they are going to get rolled over and this will be a strategic defeat for Russia.
"That is cataclysmic for Putin's hold on power in Russia. At that stage we absolutely have to think about that under Russian political and military doctrine.
"They will be tempted to reach for the small nuclear weapons to stop the fight in Ukraine."
UK intelligence released last week provides further evidence that Russia's invasion of Ukraine has not gone to plan.
It claims that six of Russia's top generals have likely been fired since the start of the invasion.

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) tweeted on Sunday: "The poor performance of Russia's armed forces during its invasion of Ukraine has been costly for Russia's military leadership, highly likely resulting in the dismissal of at least six Russian commanders since the start of hostilities in February 2022."
Intelligence also claims that at least 10 Russian generals have been killed during the fighting.
The MoD added: "The cumulative effect on consistency of command is likely contributing to Russian tactical and operational difficulties."
British intelligence also warned that the war between Ukraine and Russia is entering a "new phase".
Russian forces are "almost certainly" massing in the south as they prepare for Ukraine's counter-attack.
The MoD continued: "Russia's war on Ukraine is about to enter a new phase, with the heaviest fighting shifting to a roughly 350km frontline stretching southwest from near Zaporizhzhia to Kherson, paralleling the Dnieper River."

Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has raged at an Amnesty International report which claims Ukraine's troops are endangering its own civilians by deliberately placing bases in residential areas, schools, and hospitals.
Amnesty on Thursday listed incidents in 19 cities and towns where Ukrainian civilians were alleged to have been put in harm's way.
President Zelesnky responded: "There is no condition, even hypothetically, under which any Russian strike on Ukraine becomes justified. Aggression against our state is unprovoked, invasive and terrorist.
"If someone makes a report in which the victim and the aggressor are supposedly equal in some way... then this cannot be tolerated." | https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1652123/russia-latest-kremlin-putin-nuclear-weapons-ukraine-war-spt | 2022-08-08T12:33:04Z | https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1652123/russia-latest-kremlin-putin-nuclear-weapons-ukraine-war-spt | false | 1 |

Stacey Solomon was “overcome with emotion” when she tried on her wedding dress for the first time surrounded by her close friends and family at Pickle Cottage.
The Loose Women panellist tied the knot to her husband Joe Swash at a beautiful intimate ceremony in their £1.2million Essex mansion last month.
And the blonde bombshell made sure to have the perfect dress for her big day which was organised for her by Maire Therese Hickey – who owns Verona Bridal – that the mum-of-four got to try on in her family home months earlier.

The well-known bridal shop has quite the history with working with famous faces including Nicola Hughes from Made In Chelsea, but the proud shop owner confessed working on Stacey’s dress was their favourite so far.
The process for creating the perfect wedding dress started on Zoom, where the owner showed her some options and styles available for the former X Factor star.
When Stacey had settled on some possible options for her big day, the team of designers headed over to her home at Pickle Cottage for an emotional dress fitting surrounded by her loved ones.
Owner Marie has since opened up about what it was like to work with the loving mum and how they made her fitting session a memorable moment for the bride-to-be.
She told OK! Magazine: “Stacey told us she’d never felt before how she felt when wearing that Jessica dress, she was just overcome with emotion. There were tears.
“Her sister Jemma came over to visit during the fitting, which was really lovely, and baby Rose was there too. My girls really bonded with the Solomon sisters in that intimate environment.
“You need a bride to trust you with something as important as their wedding day, so it was amazing that our team really connected with them both. It was a complete dream.”
She added: “Stacey kept saying that she couldn’t wait for Joe and her little ones to see her in that beautiful gown.”

For her big day, Stacey opted for the brand’s Jessica dress which is described as a “stunning A-line, waist-high, corset-style, marble-design tulle gown” which she had slightly altered so that she was able to “move and dance” in it.
Speaking about the gown, the owner added: “She wanted to be able to move and dance and didn’t want to bother anyone with holding it up all day. And she didn’t want to trip up baby Rose!”
The dress also featured a 3D applique floral design which she paired with a matching headpiece that included custom gold leaves to make the beautiful look completely unique.
For her daughter’s flower girl dress, Stacey made sure that the off-cuttings from her wedding dress were made into a little dress for Rose and even made sure to include the same sparkly broach on her high heels on the little one’s baby shoes.

Reports record second-quarter gross profit, net income and Adjusted EBITDA1
Repurchased 639,000 shares of Class B Common Stock and $2 million of Preferred Stock
Announced formation of Sunlight Energy Investments to invest in commercial, community and utility-scale solar projects
NEWARK, N.J., Aug. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Genie Energy, Ltd. (NYSE: GNE, GNEPRA), a leading retail energy and renewable energy solutions provider, today announced results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2022.
"The drivers of our record first quarter results carried over into the second quarter, leading to very strong profitability metrics despite the second quarter's traditional weakness in the US," said Michael Stein, chief executive officer. "Overall, given the continued market uncertainty, we employed a conservative customer acquisition and retention strategy in our US and international retail operations, allowing us to deliver strong profitability. Our international results were impacted by a mark-to-market increase in the value of our hedge book. Finally, we complemented our strong operational performance by returning $8.8 million in capital to shareholders via repurchases of common and preferred stock and payments of our regular quarterly common and preferred stock dividends."
Second Quarter 2022 Highlights (versus 2Q21 unless otherwise noted)
- Revenue decreased 1.8% to $75.0 million;
- Gross profit increased 218.2% to $67.5 million, and gross margin increased to 89.9% from 27.8%, due in large part to gains related to the international forward hedge book;
- Income from operations increased to $48.5 million from 4.5 million;
- Adjusted EBITDA1 increased to $49.1 million from $5.5 million;
- GRE generated income from operations and Adjusted EBITDA of $14.4 million and $14.7 million, compared to $5.5 million and $5.8 million, respectively;
- Net income attributable to GNE common stockholders increased to $33.9 million, and diluted income per share (EPS) increased to $1.30, compared to a $5.0 million and $0.19, respectively;
- Declared a $0.075 quarterly dividend for class A and B common stockholders;
- Repurchased 639,000 shares of Class B common stock and redeemed $2 million of preferred stock.
Segment Highlights
GRE
GRE delivered record second quarter levels of gross profit, income from operations and Adjusted EBITDA highlighted by strong margins in its retail book. Electric per meter consumption declined moderately versus the year-ago quarter but remained solidly above pre-COVID levels. As in prior quarters, GRE moderated its customer acquisition efforts to maximize the value of its portfolio given the ongoing market volatility.
Sequentially, RCEs increased slightly to 263,000 while meters served decreased by 6,000 to 280,000 as of June 30, 2022. Average monthly churn increased to 4.4% from 3.8% in the year ago quarter and decreased from 4.5% in the first quarter of 2022.
GRE will continue to monitor the retail energy markets for customer acquisition opportunities. As volatility either moderates or becomes more palatable to customers, GRE expects to recalibrate its customer acquisition and retention programs to generate growth in the customer book.
GREI
Energy price volatility in Europe resulted in mark-to-market gains in our forward hedge book of $35.8 million. After the quarter close, GREI took initial steps to optimize its forward position. The company has sold its Swedish book of approximately 6,000 meters and is evaluating additional actions for the remaining customers.
Genie Renewables
Genie continued building solar projects for large commercial customers and is on track to continue recognizing additional revenue from its current backlog of projects. The company made strides in the community solar and utility scale solar space as well, and expects to share more about these verticals in Q3. Q2 revenue strength came from the segment's CityCom Solar business which markets community solar energy solutions.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights
On June 30, 2022, Genie Energy reported $239.2 million in total assets, including $67.2 million in cash, restricted cash and marketable equity securities. Liabilities totaled $86.0 million, and working capital (current assets less current liabilities) totaled $125.8 million. Non-current liabilities were $10.7 million.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, net cash provided by operating activities was $9.2 million compared to $4.1 million a year ago.
Strategic Update and Commentary on the Balance of 2022
Michael Stein commented, "In light of the continued volatility in energy markets as well as global economic and political uncertainty, we took steps to enhance our position through the sale of our Swedish book of business to another market participant. We are continuing to evaluate ways in which to reduce our obligations in Europe and will provide further updates on our third-quarter earnings call.
"We also recently announced a significant expansion of our solar strategy, transforming Genie into a developer and financier of commercial, community and utility-scale solar projects. To facilitate equity financing, we formed Sunlight Energy Investments with Genie as the general partner. Sunlight Energy will seek to participate in projects originated by both Genie and by other solar developers, and will bring in other investors to participate alongside Genie.
"Looking ahead to the remainder of 2022, we anticipate that energy price volatility will continue to impact our domestic retail provider business in the near term. Until we return to a normalized environment, we will focus on maximizing margins and cash flow while moderating our investment in customer acquisition."
Dividend on Genie Energy Common Stock
Genie Energy's Board of Directors has declared a dividend of $0.075 per share of Class A and Class B common stock with a record date of August 18, 2022. The dividend will be paid on or about August 26, 2022. The distribution will be treated as an ordinary dividend for income tax purposes.
Earnings Announcement and Supplemental Information
At 8:30 AM Eastern today, Genie Energy's management will host a conference call to discuss financial and operational results, business outlook, and strategy. The call will begin with management's remarks followed by Q&A with investors.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measure for the Second Quarter 2022
In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP), Genie Energy disclosed Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis and for its Genie Retail Energy segment. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure.
Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
Genie Energy's measure of consolidated Adjusted EBITDA starts with net income and adds back interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation and impairment of assets and subtracts out equity in the net loss of equity method investees, net. Genie Energy's measure of segment level Adjusted EBITDA starts with income (loss) from operations, and adds back depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation and subtracts out impairment of assets and equity in the net loss of equity method investees, net.
Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, revenue, gross profit, income from operations, cash flow from operating activities, net income, basic and diluted earnings per share or other measures of liquidity and financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, Genie Energy's measurement of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Management believes that Genie Energy's measure of Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses that may not be indicative of Genie Energy's or GRE's core operating results. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA, among other measures, as a relevant indicator of core operational strengths in its financial and operational decision-making.
Management also uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate operating performance in relation to Genie Energy's competitors. Disclosure of this non-GAAP financial measure may be useful to investors in evaluating performance and allows for greater transparency to the underlying supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. In addition, Genie Energy has historically reported Adjusted EBITDA and believes it is commonly used by readers of financial information in assessing performance. Therefore, the inclusion of comparative numbers provides consistency in financial reporting at this time.
Management refers to Adjusted EBITDA as well as the GAAP measures revenue, gross profit, and income (loss) from operations, as well as net income (loss), on a consolidated level to facilitate internal and external comparisons to Genie Energy's historical operating results, in making operating decisions, for budget and planning purposes, and to form the basis upon which management is compensated.
Although depreciation and amortization are considered operating costs under GAAP, they primarily represent the non-cash current period allocation of costs associated with long-lived assets acquired or constructed in prior periods. Genie Energy's operating results exclusive of depreciation and amortization are therefore useful indicators of its current performance.
Stock-based compensation recognized by Genie Energy and other companies may not be comparable because of the various valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of types of awards that are permitted under GAAP. Stock-based compensation is excluded from Genie Energy's calculation of Adjusted EBITDA because management believes this allows investors to make more meaningful comparisons of the operating results of Genie Energy's core business with the results of other companies. However, stock-based compensation will continue to be a significant expense for Genie Energy for the foreseeable future and an important part of employees' compensation that impacts their performance.
Impairment of goodwill is a component of (loss) income from operations that is excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA. The impairment of goodwill is primarily dictated by events and circumstances outside the control of management that trigger an impairment analysis. While there may be similar charges in other periods, the nature and magnitude of these charges can fluctuate markedly and do not reflect the performance of Genie Energy's continuing operations.
Following are the reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis to its most directly comparable GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to net income for Genie Energy on a consolidated basis and for the Genie Retail Energy (GRE) segment.

According to sources, the investigators also came across the names of Chatterjee’s wife Babli and daughter Sohini and son-in-law Kalyanmoy Bhattacharya in suspicious business deals.
Accounts of suspected shell companies were used for the transactions of huge amounts, officials said.
“The transactions were made in the accounts of shell companies, such as Apa Utility Services, Ananta Texfab Pvt Ltd, four real estate firms and two trustees. Ananta Texfab is registered in the address of one of Arpita’s flats, which is Flat No. 8A, Block-5, Club Town Heights, Belgharia, from where Rs 27.9 crore cash was seized recently. But the firm has no office set-up and employees,’’ said an ED official.
The agency came across another company named Viewmore Highrise Pvt Ltd, which is also registered in the same address in Belgharia. Sources said during the lockdown, transactions were made using five bank accounts.
“Every day, the transaction volume was Rs 20-30 lakh. In the balance sheet, transactions were shown as part of business deals which seem suspicious,’’ said another official.
Ananta Texfab filed its financial statements till March 31, 2021. The ED has asked Sohini and Kalyanmoy, who are in the United States, to come to Kolkata for the probe.
“The two were once major stakeholders of the company and later exited by selling their shares to Arpita,’’ said an officer.
The name of Babli, who died recently, has also emerged. “The statutory filing with the corporate affairs ministry shows that in March 2014, Babli held a 15 per cent share in Ananta Texfab while Sohini and Kalyanmoy held 75 per cent and 10 per cent shares, respectively. In March 2017, Babli sold her shares to Echhay Entertainment, which has Arpita as a director. On the same day, Sohini and Kalyanmoy sold their shares directly to Arpita,’’ said an official. | https://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2022/aug/08/in-3-years-shell-firms-linked-to-ex-wb-minister-partha-his-kin-arpita-had-deals-worth-rs-500-crore-2485314.html | 2022-08-08T12:48:20Z | https://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2022/aug/08/in-3-years-shell-firms-linked-to-ex-wb-minister-partha-his-kin-arpita-had-deals-worth-rs-500-crore-2485314.html | true | 1 |

The Republican matchup in the Wisconsin governor’s race on Tuesday features competing candidates endorsed by former President Donald Trump and his estranged vice president, Mike Pence. Democrats are picking a candidate to face two-term GOP Sen. Ron Johnson for control of the closely divided chamber.
Meanwhile, voters in Vermont are choosing a replacement for U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy as the chamber’s longest-serving member retires. In Minnesota, U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar faces a Democratic primary challenger who helped defeat a voter referendum to replace the Minneapolis Police Department with a new Department of Public Safety.
What to watch in Tuesday’s primary elections in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Vermont and Connecticut:
WISCONSIN
Construction company co-owner Tim Michels has Trump’s endorsement in the governor’s race and has been spending millions of his own money, touting both the former president’s backing and his years working to build his family’s business into Wisconsin’s largest construction company. Michels casts himself as an outsider, although he previously lost a campaign to oust then-U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold in 2004 and has long been a prominent GOP donor.
Establishment Republicans including Pence and former Gov. Scott Walker have endorsed former Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch, who along with Walker, survived a 2012 recall effort. She argues she has the experience and knowledge to pursue conservative priorities, including dismantling the bipartisan commission that runs elections.
With Senate control at stake, Democrats will also make their pick to take on Johnson. Democratic support coalesced around Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes late in the race, when his three top rivals dropped out and threw their support to him. He would become the state’s first Black senator if elected.
Several lesser-known candidates remain in the primary, but Johnson and Republicans have treated Barnes as the nominee, casting him as too liberal for Wisconsin, a state Trump won in 2016 but lost in 2020.
Four Democrats are also running in Wisconsin’s 3rd Congressional District, a seat that opened up with the retirement of veteran Democratic U.S. Rep. Ron Kind. The district has been trending Republican, and Derrick Van Orden — who narrowly lost to Kind in 2020 and has Trump’s endorsement — is running unopposed.
MINNESOTA
Democratic Gov. Tim Walz faces a little-known opponent as he seeks a second term. His likely challenger is Republican Scott Jensen, a physician and former state lawmaker who has made vaccine skepticism a centerpiece of his campaign and faces token opposition.
Both men have been waging a virtual campaign for months, with Jensen attacking Walz for his management of the pandemic and hammering the governor for rising crime around Minneapolis. Walz has highlighted his own support of abortion rights and suggested that Jensen would be a threat to chip away at the procedure’s legality in Minnesota.
Crime has emerged as the biggest issue in Rep. Omar’s Democratic primary. She faces a challenge from former Minneapolis City Council member Don Samuels, who opposes the movement to defund the police and last year helped defeat efforts to replace the city’s police department. Omar, who supported the referendum, has a substantial money advantage and is expected to benefit from a strong grassroots operation.
The most confusing part of Tuesday’s ballot was for the 1st Congressional District seat that was held by U.S. Rep. Jim Hagedorn, who died earlier this year from cancer. Republican former state Rep. Brad Finstad and Democrat Jeff Ettinger, a former Hormel CEO, are simultaneously competing in primaries to determine the November matchup for the next two-year term representing the southern Minnesota district, as well as a special election to finish the last few months of Hagedorn’s term.
CONNECTICUT
It’s been roughly three decades since Connecticut had a Republican in the U.S. Senate, but the party isn’t giving up.
In the GOP primary to take on Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal, the party has endorsed former state House Minority Leader Themis Klarides. She’s a social moderate who supports abortion rights and certain gun control measures and says she did not vote for Trump in 2020. Klarides contends her experience and positions can persuade voters to oppose Blumenthal, a two-term senator who in May registered a 45% job approval rating, his lowest in a Quinnipiac poll since taking office.
Klarides is being challenged by conservative attorney Peter Lumaj and Republican National Committee member Leora Levy, whom Trump endorsed last week. Both candidates oppose abortion rights and further gun restrictions, and they back Trump’s policies.
VERMONT
Leahy’s upcoming retirement has opened up two seats in Vermont’s tiny three-person congressional delegation — and the opportunity for the state to send a woman to represent it in Washington for the first time.
Democratic U.S. Rep. Peter Welch, the state’s at-large congressman, quickly launched his Senate bid after Leahy revealed he was stepping down. Leahy, who is president pro tempore of the Senate, has been hospitalized a couple of times over the last two years, including after breaking his hip this summer.
Welch has been endorsed by Sanders and is the odds-on favorite to win the seat in November. He faces two other Democrats in the primary: Isaac Evans-Frantz, an activist, and Dr. Niki Thran, an emergency physician.
On the Republican side, former U.S. Attorney Christina Nolan, retired U.S. Army officer Gerald Malloy and investment banker Myers Mermel are competing for the nomination.
The race to replace Welch has yielded Vermont’s first wide-open U.S. House campaign since 2006.
Two women, including Lt. Gov. Molly Gray and state Senate President Pro Tempore Becca Balint, are the top Democratic candidates in the race. Gray, elected in 2020 in her first political bid, is a lawyer and a former assistant state attorney general.
The winner of the Democratic primary will be the heavy favorite to win the general election in the liberal state. In 2018, Vermont became the last state without female representation in Congress when Mississippi Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith was appointed to the Senate.

Commonwealth Games: Left young by his mother, Eldhose Paul struggled for pocket money in his college days
Hailing from Kolencherry, a rural area 26km away from Ernakulam city, Paul struggled financially and he took up to athletics to get a job so that he can be able to support his family.

NEW DELHI: Brought up by his grandmother and labourer father after his mother's death when he was a small child, Eldhose Paul, who won a historic triple jump gold in the Birmingham Commonwealth Games, struggled for pocket money during his college days.
Hailing from Kolencherry, a rural area 26km away from Ernakulam city, Paul struggled financially and he took up to athletics to get a job so that he can be able to support his family.
"His family was very poor, his mother had died when he was around 5 or 6 years of age and his grandmother (now in 80s) brought him up. His father is a labourer, so he faced financial issues," Paul's childhood coach TP Ouseph told PTI from Kerala.
After passing his 12th standard examination, Paul, now 25, wanted to get admission at the sports hostel of Mar Athanasius College (MAC) at Kothamangalam.
The college is known for grooming athletes in Kerala but he was initially rejected by Ouseph, the chief coach, because of Paul's short stature.
"Paul was brought by an acquaintance of mine for admission at the sports hostel at MAC. It was around 2013. I was the chief coach but I said this boy is very short and he is suitable for triple jump," Ouseph said.
"For a triple jumper his height was less. Even now, he is around 5 feet 8 inches tall. But after a trial, I found out that he (Paul) has very good speed, elastic body and explosiveness, so I thought I will give him a try."
Ouseph said Paul was not impressive in the first year but picked up in a couple of years later.
"When he was brought to me, he could jump around 13m, the next year he improved to 14m and by the third year he was jumping near 16m. Then I knew that this boy would one day win medals for India."
Ouseph said Paul faced financial hardships and so he (Ouseph) helped him out on many occasions.
"One or two days in a week, he will leave hostel for home and I asked him why. He would say he worked at the saw mill his grandmother owned for his pocket money."
"He is very humble, good mannered and focus on his goal. That separates him from my other trainees."
"When he came to me, he had not undergone any systematic training. He had participated in a few district competitions but he had nothing to boast of. I gave him systematic training from the scratch."
Paul, who was pursuing an Arts degree, left the college without completing his course as he was selected by Indian Navy in 2016.
"I told him to go for the job, because it was very important for him financially. When he left him in 2016, he was jumping around 15.75m."
"He later improved it while at Indian Navy to above 16m and today he crossed 17m for the first time."
"I am so happy to hear the news about his gold medal. Someone from his family called me up today to give the news. I am so happy that an athlete I had groomed has done the country proud." | https://www.newindianexpress.com/sport/other/2022/aug/07/commonwealth-games-left-young-by-his-mother-eldhose-paul-struggled-for-pocket-money-in-his-college-2485128.html | 2022-08-08T12:50:43Z | https://www.newindianexpress.com/sport/other/2022/aug/07/commonwealth-games-left-young-by-his-mother-eldhose-paul-struggled-for-pocket-money-in-his-college-2485128.html | true | 7 |

In the last two and a half years, we have worked intensively in defense of vaccination, as this is the best weapon to fight infectious diseases such as covid-19.
Even with the negligence of the Federal Government, we managed to encourage the population to vaccinate en masse and we had some success, considering that the number of daily deaths dropped from more than 4 thousand to something between 100 and 300 – which is still not acceptable. However, this small victory cannot prevent us from seeing some important issues, such as the need to update immunizers, so that they are more effective against the variants that have emerged.
Vaccine companies are in a comfortable position. They continue to sell a large amount of their products and do not pay enough attention to the importance of their being renewed.
The situation of companies is comfortable. They are not demanded by scientists, the media and society as they should. I warned about the importance of updating vaccines against covid-19 earlier this year. Now, I reinforce the matter, as the coronavirus has undergone mutations (such as the ômicron variant and its subvariants) that made it more efficient in escaping the immunity generated by current vaccines and even the natural immunity, stimulated by being infected by the virus.
Without more effective vaccines to protect against variants, it is difficult to convince society to vaccinate itself every six months with immunizers that still use genetic information from the virus that emerged in Wuhan, still in 2019.
A proof that we will not have good results in convincing people to take five or six doses of an outdated vaccine is that less than 50% of the population took the booster (“third dose”), even though we know that, with the Ômicron, we can only consider someone to be fully immunized after receiving three doses.
Some people may say that scientific articles have already shown that the “boost” with an updated vaccine for the omicron variant did not generate an increase in protection, when compared to an “old” vaccine. Indeed, there are studies with this conclusion. But we cannot stop at them. We need to go a little deeper into the results and explain some very important issues, so that the understanding is clearer.
In the case of genetic vaccines — mRNA vaccines such as Pfizer — or viral vectors (AstraZeneca, Janssen), it is very complex to ensure that the genetic code inserted into them is translated into coronavirus spike proteins, in the same way that the first vaccines did. .
Think about the following, when this genetic code is made and assembled, it may happen that its final effectiveness is not the same, even if the same methodology used to produce the first vaccines is adopted, because the change of some nucleotides, which are the subunits, the DNA and RNA bricks, can affect the result, which will be the translation of the protein, responsible for stimulating the immune system to respond specifically against the part of the coronavirus that we want to attack.
For the comparative analysis of the effectiveness of the updated vaccines to be reliable with that of the first vaccines, which we still use, there is a need to guarantee the same production capacity of the spike proteins. However, published scientific works have focused on comparing the final results, which is to compare the protection induced by the new and the old vaccine.
In short: it is necessary to go back a few steps and try to understand why the updated vaccines are not more effective than the old ones. It is not enough just to repeat the technology used previously and be satisfied with the information that the protection is the same, to continue applying the immunizations we have today.
Of course, the more booster doses are given, with or without an update, the more we will activate the memory generated by immunization and previous infections, but with little improvement in vaccine effectiveness, if there is no vaccine with high potential activation of immunity against mutations. current.
Thus, we need to be more incisive in charging for these new vaccines. If a vaccine was developed in record time, there is the possibility of updating it in record time too, if the interest is of the size that made companies and countries want to raise the flag that they were the first to produce or apply a vaccine. against covid-19 — I won’t even get into the financial issue and how much companies are profiting…
The focus at this moment is to intensify campaigns so that people complete the vaccine cycle with three doses and not get used to more than 200 deaths per day.
We must inform you that people need to take the booster dose (third dose) and the fourth dose, for those who were vaccinated six months ago or more. However, we cannot just think about the present and think that in four or five months we will reach society and guide them to take the fifth dose with the same vaccine that we have today, believing that there will be mass adherence.
There are reasons why this adhesion does not happen, as people are under a constant war of disinformation, while vaccine producers continue to reap profits and show only promises, but few results. | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/08/08/without-updating-covid-vaccines-its-not-much-use-to-take-five-or-more-doses-08-08-2022/ | 2022-08-08T12:51:29Z | https://playcrazygame.com/2022/08/08/without-updating-covid-vaccines-its-not-much-use-to-take-five-or-more-doses-08-08-2022/ | false | 1 |

Season nine of 90 Day Fiancé has come in strong, and the viewers have already had a lot to say about the international love stories between the seven couples, including their ups and downs. One includes an emotional moment between Kobe and his new father-in-law, which had viewers ‘crying’
What has caught the attention of viewers, in particular, is Kobe Blaise from Cameroon, whose love story with Emily Bieberly from Salina has been unfolding ever since receiving his K-1 Visa and trip to Kansas.
In the most unexpected place, on the most unexpected night, Kobe and Emily locked eyes in Xi’an, China. The 29-year-old was in the country working as an English teacher when she encountered Kobe during a girl’s night out.
Despite it being a “really fun one-night stand”, feelings rose between the two and they made it official. Wanting to be with each other, the two got engaged and four weeks later, got pregnant with their first child. Though Kobe was meant to be on the day of his son’s birth, he was denied entry due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Throughout the new season, fans of the series have followed their 90-Day Fiancé journey, including his first time meeting his 17-month-old son, Koban, as taking their marriage to the altar – not before some arguments in between.
Ringing the wedding bells
In last night’s episode, there was a lot of drama between Kobe and Emily after the two had a massive row a day before their wedding, leading to Kobe spending the night in a hotel.
Hours before they take their romance to the altar, Emily decides to call him and apologise. She promised to trust him and looked forward to marrying him.
The 29-year-old took to Instagram to commemorate the episode by sharing never-seen photos from their engagement photo shoot with her 52.9k followers. It included a heartfelt message, promising a “forever”.
Emily wrote in her caption: “WE’RE MARRIED🤍 Babe, you are the love of my life. I absolutely love doing life with you and being your wife. I can not wait to continue this journey together. Thank you for making me better. I love you forever baby💜.”
Although the episode premiered yesterday, their wedding took place on February 27, 2021. Since then, the couple has remained together living their fairytale love.
Fans react to Kobe’s conversation with father-in-law David
During yesterday’s episode, which highlighted an important step in Kobe and Emily’s relationship, fans commented throughout the episode. We saw them argue, their reconcile, and an intimate moment with his father-in-law.
Many of the viewers agreed on the fact that Kobe was “too good” for Emily.
“I had a lot of serious doubts before Kobe came into America, but he sent me a letter telling me how much he loved Emily and you know, he wanted my permission to marry her,” David said in the confessionary.
As Emily’s father David and Kobe maintained a relationship before the big moment, both couldn’t contain their feelings after he handed him a secret gift that would remind him of what “his letter said to him”.
“I love you like a son,” he said before Kobe broke down into tears.
Celebrating baby Koban’s third birthday
Last week, Emily celebrated the third birthday of her son, Koban. The couple welcomed their first child together in 2019 after a one-night stand in China.
Though they didn’t plan to get pregnant right away, both reality stars decided to take the next step in their relationship with Kobe moving out to America.
In a video sequence, while Taylor Swift’s ‘Never Grow Up’ song played in the background, Emily added pictures and clips of his early stages until now. The video also included shots with his baby father, Kobe, and his maternal grandparents.
Emily captioned: “To the boy who made me a mommy. Koban, you are the best thing to ever happen to your dad and I. You shine so bright and bring so much joy and happiness to everyone you meet. For being so small you sure can love so big💜.”
She continued: “I knew I always wanted to be a mom and being yours is better than I could ever imagine.
My body may be different than it was before you existed, but I love it more now because, without it, I wouldn’t have you. Happy 3rd birthday sweet boy 🎉 I love you.” | https://www.realitytitbit.com/tlc/90-day-fiance/90-day-fiance-fans-cry-over-good-man-kobe-after-emotional-scene-with-father-in-law | 2022-08-08T13:05:38Z | https://www.realitytitbit.com/tlc/90-day-fiance/90-day-fiance-fans-cry-over-good-man-kobe-after-emotional-scene-with-father-in-law | true | 1 |
A quote card circulating on social media that the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF)-led transition government in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) does not anymore need to talk with President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. – because he is allegedly difficult to deal with – is fake.
The pronouncement was attributed to BARMM spokesperson Naguib Sinarimbo, who is also the Bangsamoro Minister of the Interior and Local Government.
The quote card states: “Noon pa man kahit na nasa senado pa lang itong si BBM ang hirap ng kausapin pagdating sa BBL noon kaya ngayon hindi natin kaylangan makipag usap sa kanya.” (Even when BBM was still in the Senate for the discussion of the BBL, he’s difficult to deal with. That’s why we don’t need to talk to him now.)
BBM means Bongbong Marcos, who won the presidency with at least 31 million votes during the May 9 elections. On the other hand, BBL stands for the Bangsamoro Basic Law, which Marcos, then a senator in 2015, rejected in its “present form.”
The late former President Benigno Aquino III (2010 to 2016) lobbied hard for the passage of the BBL but failed. During the term of former President Rodrigo Duterte (2016 to 2022), Republic Act 11054 or the Organic Law for the BARMM, popularly known as the Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL), was passed that paved the way for the creation of the Bangsamoro region. The BOL was anchored on the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro, which the government and the MILF signed in 2014 after 17 years of peace negotiations.
Sinarimbo, also the deputy secretary general of the United Bangsamoro Justice Party (UBJP), the MILF’s political party, described the malicious quote card as fake news.
“This is a desperate attempt by trapos (traditional politicians) in Maguindanao to portray me and the MILF and its political party as anti-BBM and draw the ire of the President against us so they can further their evil cause of spoiling the peace and capturing positions in the BARMM via appointments during the transition,” Sinarimbo, a lawyer, told MindaNews.
The fake quote card was posted on Facebook supposedly by local online news outfit Bangsamoro Media Productions (BMP), which has close to 150,000 followers. BMP condemned the circulation of the quote card, and issued a “disinformation alert” to disown the false information.
The MILF-led Bangsamoro government continues to deal with the Marcos administration, contrary to the fake Facebook claim. Its senior officials recently met separately with Department of Defense officer-in-charge Jose Faustino, Jr. and Interior and Local Government Secretary Benjamin “Benhur” Abalos, Jr.
https://www.ndbcnews.com.ph/news/national-defense-exec-vows-support-mindanao-peace-process
https://www.pna.gov.ph/articles/1178770
During the elections, the UBJP supported the presidential bid of former Vice President Leni Robredo, who placed second to Marcos.
Recently, a group describing itself as the “MILF Salamat Wing” surfaced, stirring controversy in the Bangsamoro region.
Abdulfatah Delna, the group’s ad hoc chair, said they are “not a breakaway group or that sort” but “bona fide and legitimate members and officials of the MILF and are trusted persons of the late [MILF] chairman Salamat Hashim.”
Hashim’s family, however, strongly condemned the use of their father’s name in sowing intrigue to divide the ranks of the MILF.
Delna’s group called on Marcos to appoint its officers and members to the Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA), the interim body that governs the Bangsamoro government, stressing they supported the winning president during the May elections.
In asking that members of the MILF Salamat Wing be given seats at the BTA, Delna noted that the MILF’s UBJP supported the presidential run of Robredo.

Former Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer spotted at Bengals practice
Not a peep has come from Mike Zimmer in the nearly seven months since he was fired by the Minnesota Vikings, and there has been little to no visual sightings of the former head coach. That is until this past weekend when Zimmer was at his old stomping grounds, taking in a Cincinnati Bengals training camp practice.
Zimmer was spotted on the sidelines during the Bengals' practice on Sunday. While he didn't speak to reporters, the 66-year-old was in his element, chatting with Bengals play-by-play announcer Dan Hoard as the team ran through warmups.
It's not shocking to see Zimmer hanging out at Bengals practice. He spent six seasons (2008-13) as the defensive coordinator in Cincinnati and his son Adam, who served as the Vikings' co-defensive coordinator the past two seasons, has joined Zac Taylor's staff as an offensive consultant.
In the days that followed Zimmer's firing after eight seasons in Minnesota, linebacker Eric Kendricks called Zimmer installed "a fear-based culture" and general manager Rick Spielman said the task of constructing the roster "was like a moving target" due to all of the changes on the coaching staff.

Adam Thielen and Purple Insider's Matthew Coller also noted the "lack of yelling" during practices at training camp this year, which is a nod to Kevin O'Connell's laid-back demeanor.
Still, no response from Zimmer to any of his critics. Maybe that'll change in time, but for now, the coach is keeping quiet. | https://www.si.com/fannation/bringmethesports/vikings/former-vikings-head-coach-mike-zimmer-spotted-at-bengals-practice | 2022-08-08T13:10:55Z | https://www.si.com/fannation/bringmethesports/vikings/former-vikings-head-coach-mike-zimmer-spotted-at-bengals-practice | true | 1 |

Prince accused of paying his wife $12M a year to stay, plus more of the biggest royals news of 2022 so far
Is Prince Albert II of Monaco paying his wife to stay?. A wild story concerning Monaco's ruling royals emerged in May when French outlet Voici reported, per DailyMail.com, that Prince Albert II had signed an "ultra-confidential contract" that requires him to pay wife Princess Charlene — who was absent from Monaco and her duties for nearly a year as she faced health issues and recovered in South Africa then Switzerland — about $12 million a year to fulfill her royal duties be by his side. Rival publication Paris Match Belgium reported a similar story. "Of course the princess enjoys huge perks [as a royal], but ready cash is not guaranteed. She's been through a very difficult time, so it would make sense for Charlene to try and secure her own guaranteed income," a royal insider based in Monte Carlo told DailyMail.com. But friends of the couple dismissed the reports, telling Page Six that Albert isn't paying Charlene millions to remain as his wife. "Of course she has a generous prenup, but Albert doesn't have to pay her to stay," a source close to Charlene told Page Six. "After being away for so long during her illness, Charlene is so happy to be back with Albert and the kids. They spend every weekend at their country place. Albert is fully supportive of Charlene and is also helping her with her charities."

I’m a spiritual coach – how the current Lion’s Gate will affect you & why it could spell the end for your relationship
THE Lion's Gate portal opens once a year, and we're right in the middle of it now.
Spiritual coach Samantha Jayne told The US Sun how it will affect all of us, and why this week could spell the end of your relationship.
The Lion's Gate runs from July 26 to August 8, peaking on the final day, and this is what you need to know...
Every year, on July 26, the Lion’s Gate portal is created between the Earth and Sirius, the brightest star in the sky.
The journey through Leo begins. See this as a new beginning, a fresh start.
A journey that is about self-love, being heart centred and self-empowerment.
A time when we are being asked to connect to our souls, our heart energy, and our path of purpose.
Light codes are sent to Earth to activate our energy, DNA and connect us to our highest path, our highest possible potential for the next 12 months.
This year the Lion's Gate coincides with the Leo New Moon, so this is set to be a powerful one as always.
Whilst Leo is all about self love and having courage, it can be felt at the more negative end of the spectrum.

BE WARNED
If you are someone who is struggling with insecurities, then you may find yourself feeling like you are not good enough and experience imposter syndrome.
If your current partner just isn’t cutting it when it comes to your future vision for your life, and there is no connection at a deep soul level, then you could find yourself in some uncomfortable conversations with choices to be made.
And if you have an important meeting, be mindful of how you communicate.
Watch for coming across as boastful of your achievements as this may be seen as being arrogant rather than confident during this time.
LISTEN IN
On the brighter side, Lion's Gate is a great time to meditate.
It is believed every one of us is here to serve purpose, to be part of the bigger mission, something they call ascension.
It is simply that some are doing it consciously whilst others are unconscious. Will you choose to do it consciously?
Over the next 12 months, we are being asked to listen to our souls, walk through a transformation and be ourselves despite the challenges and external pressures to conform and fit in we may experience.
This energy reaches its peak on the August 8 and then ends on August 12, giving us approximately a three-week window to use these energies to power us up, but how do we do that?
Firstly, this is a great time to carry round that notebook or journal and pen as you may find yourself getting new thoughts and ideas about how you want your life or your business to be.
We don’t always get our ‘signs’ in meditation, or in our dreams. We often get them out and about in our daily life.
Many have flashes of images, seeing themselves in new roles or working in new ways that not only make their soul feel happy and healthy but their bank balance too.
Know that for some this can be an uncomfortable journey as there is a lot of healing needed to let go of past trauma and emotional events that are blocking your path.
You may find yourself having lightbulb moments that change almost instantly the way you look at things or flashbacks to the events that have caused you to feel insecure in the past.
HOW TO ACT
The Leo energy is coming in to give you strength and courage to let go of your ‘demons’, thoughts and beliefs that have been holding you back for some time now.
Booking yourself in for a healing or a massage might be just what you need.
If you have a business idea that you keep being drawn back to, no matter how small, this can be a great time to start it.
Especially if it centres around helping others. Don’t get distracted by what other people are doing. This could take you off path.
If you have an existing business, then you could get an opportunity or a new idea on how to serve others in a new way.
No matter how small you may feel your work is, know you are part of the big plan and are making a difference in the world.
Those who have psychic abilities or healing abilities can see these gifts getting stronger now.
Maybe you don’t class yourself as psychic, if that is you, then pay attention to your intuition as it can be much stronger during this time.
Spend time meditating, I recommend a heart chakra healing meditation, to release anything that is blocking you from who you are and the life you are living.
The Lion's Gate opens up the third eye to help you to receive the visions, so you might want to do a third eye meditation too or sign up for a psychic development course.
With so much energy floating about, make sure you are spending time outdoors in nature, to help you stay grounded.
If you are really struggling, then wearing a labradorite crystal pendant or taking a salt bath could help.
When you go to bed, have that notebook and pen on your bedside table and pay attention to your dreams.
It is believed we receive lots more visitations during this time from loved ones, guides and angels.
Remember to write down the details of the dreams as it could be symbolism and messages to help you on your path.
TECH IT OUT
You may also want to take a break from social media and technology.
You are already experiencing energy overload without adding that tech energy to you.
Plus if you are empathic, think of all the energy you could be absorbing from others through social media during this transit.
This is a great time to be creative.
Whether it's writing, music, baking, painting, drawing, writing, sculpting or building a website for that new business, this is a great time for creative energies to flow.

Pro Wrestling veteran Jim Cornette recently shared his thoughts on Triple H's statement regarding the importance of stories and wrestling moves.
Last week, The Game appeared on Logan Paul's podcast, Impaulsive, where he hammered home how important stories in wrestling are, compared to the moves performers deliver in the ring on a regular basis.
Speaking on the Jim Cornette Experience, the former WWE manager gave his thoughts on The King of King's take.
"If you are in the wrestling business and are smart to the wrestling business, then you kind of understand what he’s saying in that, that is what’s happened to independent wrestling over the last 15 or 20 years. They got into the business on an independent level because they were the diehard fans of the work rate. But they think that the moves and the stunts are the determining factors and whether a match is good or not. So I agree with Triple H." H/T Inside The Ropes
Since SummerSlam last week, the 14 time world champion has taken charge of WWE's creative department, where stories have become a much more prevalent part of the show.
Pro-Wrestling Veteran was impresses with how Triple H booked SmackDown
Last Friday, Hunter ran SmackDown as the head of creative for the first time. The blue brand under The Game looked like a fresh show, from the number one Contender gauntlet match to surprise returns.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's SmackTalk, Dutch Mantell (a.k.a Zeb Colter) said he saw many improvements to last Friday's show.
"I think it was a much improved SmackDown tonight," Dutch Mantell opined. "On the finish, it's up and down, the Karrion Kross thing; I do like it when they put the sandglass up. I did like that; that tells a story, 'Hey, the clock's ticking.' I did like that but much improved SmackDown because now you can't really predict it as much as you did before. But there were some changes made, and I liked it." H/T Sportskeeda
One of the biggest moments from SmackDown last week came when the returning Karrion Kross attacked Drew McIntyre from behind to then warn Roman Reigns that his hold on the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship may soon be over.
What are your thoughts on Triple H's first week in charge of creative? Let us know in the comments section below.

(The Hill) — President Joe Biden has repeatedly talked about taking on former President Donald Trump.
He still tells anyone who will listen that he’s the only Democrat who can defeat the former president, and he said last month that he wouldn’t be disappointed if Trump ran against him in 2024.
But some Democrats say that if Biden does run for reelection, he also needs to actively target Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and stop boxing himself into a Trump race.
Trump is all but certain to enter the race, but with the Jan. 6 hearings hammering him and potential lawsuits looming, DeSantis is the Republican to watch, some Democrats say.
“To me, DeSantis is the scarier prospect,” one Democratic strategist said. “He’s a smarter version of Trump, he’s way more strategic, and he doesn’t have a hundred lawsuits at his feet.“
“If Trump goes bust, and he very well may, he’s the main guy I’d be watching,” the strategist said of the Florida governor.
Throughout his administration, DeSantis has made it a point to use Biden as a foil, blaming the president for policies he says are taking the country in the wrong direction.
In recent days, he has doubled down on Biden’s push for vaccine booster shots to help combat COVID-19, which still rages throughout much of the country.
“We just saw Joe Biden test positive for COVID, right? And I’ve said we obviously wish him well on that, but you know, this is a guy that’s taken how many booster shots? I mean, seriously, [he’s] done all this stuff and gets it,” DeSantis told supporters late last month at an event in Tampa.
During another speech that week, he also used Biden’s diagnosis to blast him. “I want to wish the president a speedy recovery from COVID and America a speedy recovery from Biden.”
As DeSantis runs for reelection this year in a state that has been moving toward Republicans, Democrats say Biden and other national Democrats should take him on.
“What’s inexplicable to me is, why — not just Joe Biden — but the entire Democratic establishment isn’t trying to disqualify him now in the governor’s race,” said Fernand Amandi, a Miami-based pollster and consultant whose firm helped Barack Obama’s presidential campaign win the state in 2008 and 2012.

“He’s getting an absolute free pass,” Amandi said of DeSantis. “He has no sense of shame. … He’s acting like someone who doesn’t feel accountable to anyone.”
It’s not as though Biden has been completely silent on DeSantis. In recent months, he has taken on policies in Florida endorsed by the governor.
The Biden administration went after DeSantis after Florida was the only state in the country that didn’t preorder pediatric COVID-19 vaccines.
The president has also taken veiled swipes at DeSantis on other issues, including Disney, after the governor signed a bill into law stripping its self-government power that provides derives for its theme parks. The law was seen as payback after Disney criticized DeSantis for the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” law, which prohibits discussion of sexual orientation in classrooms.
“This is not your father’s Republican Party,” Biden said at a Democratic National Committee fundraising event in April. “It’s not even conservative in a traditional sense of conservatism. It’s mean. It’s ugly. I mean, look at what’s happening now in Florida: Christ, they’re going after Mickey Mouse.”
Biden also took to Twitter to voice his opposition to the law.
“I want every member of the LGBTQI+ community — especially the kids who will be impacted by this hateful bill — to know that you are loved and accepted just as you are,” the president wrote on the social media platform. “I have your back, and my administration will continue to fight for the protections and safety you deserve.”
Still, some Democrats say they’d like to see Biden go after DeSantis more. They say he should emulate California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), who, in a rare move, took the fight to DeSantis by airing an ad on Fox News last month.
“Biden has to spend more time in Florida, taking on DeSantis, and not giving him the complete stage,” the strategist said. “We can’t be surprised when he suddenly emerges as the favorite of the party because we see this train coming.”
While Trump continues to dominate polls for Republicans, DeSantis appears to be on his heels in key states. A Detroit News poll of likely Republican primary voters found DeSantis statistically tied with Trump. A University of New Hampshire poll also found both Republicans dead even in the state.
But for now, at least, Biden remains largely fixated on Trump, Biden allies say.
“They believe strongly in the end that Trump will be the nominee,” said one ally who speaks to White House officials regularly. “That’s the governing theory, until somebody proves otherwise.”
As Martin Sweet, a professor of political science at Purdue University put it: “For Biden, using Trump as the leader of the opposition is a useful, motivating tool.”
“Trump is such shorthand for everything,” he said. “He is such a unique political figure that it would be crazy not to talk about him.” | https://www.abc27.com/news/us-world/politics/desantis-is-scarier-opponent-than-trump-say-democrats/ | 2022-08-08T13:22:59Z | https://www.abc27.com/news/us-world/politics/desantis-is-scarier-opponent-than-trump-say-democrats/ | true | 23 |
BERLIN (AP) — Local officials with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz's party rejected a bid to expel former Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder over his close ties to Russia, the news agency dpa reported Monday.
An arbitration committee of the center-left Social Democrats’ branch in Hannover, where Schroeder lives, considered 17 applications from party members for proceedings against him.
Schroeder's longstanding connections to the Russian energy sector and refusal to distance himself fully from President Vladimir Putin after Russia invaded Ukraine have left his political standing in tatters.
However, the SPD committee determined his actions don't constitute a breach of the party’s rules, according to dpa.
His expulsion from the SPD had been seen as unlikely. In Germany, expelling party members is a complicated and often lengthy process that frequently fails. However, an appeal of Monday’s decision is still possible.
Schroeder, who served as chancellor from 1998 to 2005 and was the Social Democrats' leader from 1999 to 2004, has shown no signs of heeding calls from senior party figures to tone down his rhetoric on Russia or leave the party of his own accord.
That has come with political consequences within Germany. In May, German lawmakers agreed to shut down Schroeder's taxpayer-funded office, and he gave up the title of honorary citizen of Hannover, preempting a likely decision by city officials.
Schroeder has shrugged off the pressure and continued to maintain his ties with Putin. He most recently met with the Russian leader on a visit to Moscow in late July. | https://www.ajc.com/news/nation-world/scholz-party-rejects-bid-to-expel-german-ex-leader-schroeder/QZREOQSGIJA5XCUDFPMHHWBUDM/ | 2022-08-08T13:24:10Z | https://www.ajc.com/news/nation-world/scholz-party-rejects-bid-to-expel-german-ex-leader-schroeder/QZREOQSGIJA5XCUDFPMHHWBUDM/ | false | 32 |

The duration and precise location of the latest drills is not yet known, but Taiwan has already eased flight restrictions near the six earlier Chinese exercise areas surrounding the island.
Shortly before the latest drills were announced, Taiwan president Tsai Ing-wen met visiting St. Vincent and the Grenadines Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves, telling him she was moved by his determination to visit despite China’s military pressure.
“Prime Minister Gonsalves has expressed in recent days that the Chinese military drills would not prevent him from visiting friends in Taiwan. These statements have deeply touched us,” Tsai said at a welcome ceremony for Gonsalves in Taipei.
It was unclear if Tsai had invited Gonsalves before or after Pelosi’s visit. “We don’t disclose internal planning or communications between governments,” the Taiwanese foreign ministry said when asked by Reuters.
Beyond the firing of 11 short-range ballistic missiles during the four earlier days of exercises, Chinese warships, fighter jets and drones manoeuvred extensively around the island.
Shortly before those drills ended on Sunday, about 10 warships each from China and Taiwan manoeuvred at close quarters around the unofficial median line of the Taiwan Strait, according to a person familiar with the situation who is involved with security planning.
Military Talks Shelved
Taiwan’s defence ministry said Chinese military ships, aircraft, and drones had simulated attacks on the island and its navy. It said it had sent aircraft and ships to react “appropriately”.
China’s defence ministry meanwhile maintained its diplomatic pressure on the United States, defending its shelving of military-to-military talks in protest at Pelosi’s visit.
“The current tense situation in the Taiwan Strait is entirely provoked and created by the U.S. side on its own initiative, and the U.S. side must bear full responsibility and serious consequences for this,” defence ministry spokesman Wu Qian said in an online post.
“The bottom line cannot be broken, and communication requires sincerity,” Wu said.
China called off formal talks involving theatre-level commands, defence policy co-ordination and military maritime consultations on Friday as Pelosi left the region.
Pentagon, State Department and White House officials condemned the move, describing it as an irresponsible over-reaction.
China’s cutting of some of its few communication links with the U.S. military raises the risk of an accidental escalation over Taiwan at a critical moment, according to security analysts and diplomats.
One U.S. official noted that Chinese officials had not responded to calls from senior Pentagon officials amid the tensions last week, but that they did not see this as a formal severing of ties with senior figures, such as US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin.
Asked directly about those reports, defence ministry spokesman Wu said, “China’s relevant counter-measures are a necessary warning to the provocations of the United States and Taiwan, and a legitimate defence of national sovereignty and security”. | https://en.prothomalo.com/international/china/z3e9cspu9p | 2022-08-08T13:28:16Z | https://en.prothomalo.com/international/china/z3e9cspu9p | false | 3 |

After Serving on Delaware's Court of Chancery, Former Vice Chancellor Slights Joins the Firm's Corporate Governance Practice as a Partner in the Wilmington Office
PALO ALTO, Calif., Aug. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, the premier provider of legal services to technology, life sciences, and growth enterprises worldwide, announced today that former Vice Chancellor Joseph R. Slights III has joined the firm's litigation department as a partner in the Wilmington, Delaware, office. He will be a member of Wilson Sonsini's corporate governance practice.
Prior to joining the firm, Slights served as Vice Chancellor of the Delaware Court of Chancery for six years before his recent retirement from the court. He was nominated to the Court of Chancery by former Delaware Governor Jack Markell in 2016. From 2000 to 2012, Slights served as a judge on Delaware's Superior Court where, among other assignments, he was instrumental in forming the court's Complex Commercial Litigation Division.
"Following his accomplished 18 years of service as a judge and several years of private practice in Delaware, former Vice Chancellor Slights' insights and unquestionably thorough understanding of critically important legal issues will be of substantial value to clients," said Doug Clark, managing partner at Wilson Sonsini. "Former Vice Chancellor Slights is widely praised for not only his many career achievements, but also for managing judicial matters with professionalism and fairness. We're very proud to add yet another esteemed former member of the judiciary to our firm and pleased that he is joining an already formidable corporate governance team."
Wilson Sonsini's corporate governance team represents the management teams, directors, and special board or management committees of some of the largest companies in the world. The multidisciplinary governance practice provides legal counsel across all areas related to public company matters, including securities, compensation, M&A, antitrust, litigation, internal and agency investigations, and tax. The corporate governance team also advises on complex and novel private company matters. A key part of the governance practice is the firm's 30-attorney Delaware team, which includes respected and established practitioners—such as former Chancellor William B. Chandler III, who led the Delaware Court of Chancery for 14 years—all of whom have been at the forefront of the most important and wide-reaching developments in the areas of corporate governance and related litigation. The team has expertise concerning all aspects of Delaware corporate law and governance, and also represents clients in corporate litigation, especially in the Delaware courts.
"Serving on the Delaware Court of Chancery as Vice Chancellor was a tremendous honor, and now I'm looking forward to working with Wilson Sonsini's talented team in Delaware and what I know to be an impressive national governance practice," said former Vice Chancellor Slights. "With the firm's innovative clients and the many practitioners behind the firm's success, I am confident this platform will allow me to direct my energy toward the type of work that clients value and need—and do so as part of a dynamic team that shares my passion."
Before his appointment to the Superior Court of Delaware and the Delaware Court of Chancery, former Vice Chancellor Slights worked in private practice, where he focused on corporate and business litigation and alternative dispute resolution.
Former Vice Chancellor Slights earned his J.D. from Washington & Lee University School of Law in 1988, and an undergraduate degree from James Madison University in 1985.

Brad Pitt’s “Bullet Train” zoomed ahead of the competition.
- By JAKE COYLE - AP Film Writer
Sunday studio estimates say the Brad Pitt action romp “Bullet Train" arrived with a $30.1 million opening weekend as the last big movie of Hollywood’s summer recovery landed in theaters. The debut was solid but unspectacular for a movie that cost $90 million to make and was propelled by Pitt’s substantial star power. But even if it holds well in coming weeks, movie theaters have no major studio releases on the horizon for the rest of August, and few sure things to look forward to in early fall. The weekend’s other new wide release, “Easter Sunday,” struggled to catch on. It opened with $5.3 million.

CJ Perry, formerly known as Lana while in WWE, began her professional wrestling career as a manager for her real-life husband Rusev, now known as Miro in AEW.
“The bottom line is Vince wanted me to wrestle,” Perry said, appearing on “The Sessions with Renee Paquette.” “… Vince called us into the office, and this was after [Miro and her] had split up because he was adamant. He was like, ‘You cannot be with Rusev anymore.’ When the “we want Lana” chants started, he was like, ‘That’s it. You have two choices: we can either do a relationship story, or you’re going to have to go back down to NXT to learn how to wrestle.’ … I was like, ‘I’ll do a relationship story; that’s cool.’
“So that started, and then a month and a half in, he brings Summer [Rae] in. We had no idea, and Miro is like, ‘Why? What’s happening?’ And he’s like, ‘Well, we’re going to have a match,’ and Miro didn’t want me to wrestle. He’s very old school, and then he marries me — God bless him. Yeah, he’s very traditional, and he’s like — he just gets worried. He doesn’t want me to get hurt.”
Perry was the manager of Miro while he was in “NXT” and on the main roster when The Bulgarian Brute was finding success, defeating Sheamus for the United States Championship. Miro would hold the United States Championship until WrestleMania 31, losing it to John Cena in a match where Miro arrived in a tank.
Perry wound up having her first ever professional wrestling match on the pre-show of WrestleMania 32 alongside Emma, Naomi, Summer Rae, and Tamina, losing to the team of Brie Bella, Eva Marie, Paige, Alicia Fox, and Natalya. Perry would go on to have her first televised singles match against Naomi over a year later at Money in the Bank 2017 in an attempt to win the Smackdown Women’s Championship. Naomi walked away with the win; however, Perry would go on to have four more championship matches while with WWE, losing two more to Naomi and two to Asuka.
Later in the interview, Perry revealed advice given to her by the new head of creative, Triple H, and what one of the co-CEOs of WWE, Stephanie McMahon, told her.
“[Triple H] told me, ‘Never stop training,'” Perry said. “So that whole year, I had been training, getting in with Fit, getting in with Goldust … [Triple H] was like, ‘Trust me … one day Vince is going to wake up and be like, ‘Well, it’s time for Lana to have a match. Let’s do it.” He’s like, ‘You want to be ready.’ Then I talked to Stephanie, and Stephanie is like, ‘At the very least, know how to bump. Know how to take falls. Know how to take basic hits.'”
Perry was released from WWE in early June of 2021 alongside stars such as Aleister Black, who has since found a home in AEW as Malakai Black, and Braun Strowman. Perry has not wrestled since her release came in WWE, last competing against Dana Brooke and Mandy Rose while teaming with Naomi in a match won by Brooke and Rose on the May 31st, 2021 edition of “WWE Raw.”

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute (CHCI) and CHCI Chair, Representative Nanette Diaz Barragán, proudly announce the 2022 Medallion Award Honorees, musical legend Celia Cruz and Secretary of the Department of Health & Human Services Xavier Becerra. During CHCI's 45th Annual Awards Gala, held September 15, 2022 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C, Celia Cruz will be remembered posthumously with the 2022 Medallion of Excellence Award and Secretary Xavier Becerra will be recognized for his exemplary leadership with the 2022 American Dream Medallion Award.
The Medallion Award is CHCI's highest accolade and one of the most prestigious honors in the Latino community bestowed annually upon individuals who are positive role models and whose extraordinary careers, civic leadership, and service contribute to the greater American society.
"Celia Cruz's legacy and incredible contributions to our culture, and Secretary Xavier Becerra's exemplary career and outstanding civic leadership, and public service embody CHCI's core principles," said CHCI Chair, Representative Nanette Diaz Barragán. "We are proud to celebrate and recognize these two trailblazers at our 45th Annual Awards Gala this year."
"We are thrilled to honor both Celia Cruz and Secretary Xavier Becerra at this year's gala. Celia Cruz's Medallion of Excellence, being presented posthumously, is a testament to her ever-lasting legacy not just within the Latino community - but the country - and the world. The American Dream Medallion being presented to Secretary Xavier Becerra honors the first Latino to head the Department of Health and Human Services and a champion of Latinos for more than two decades," said Marco A. Davis, CHCI President and CEO.
The 2022 CHCI Medallion of Excellence in the Arts, Entertainment, Media, Music, and Sports will be awarded to Celia Cruz (posthumously)
Celia Cruz was a gifted artist and singer who grew up in Santos Suárez, Cuba where she was inspired by talented musicians and entertainers who influenced her future singing endeavors. Beloved as the "Queen of Salsa," Cruz's visibility as a revolutionary Afro-Latina artist, placed Cuba on the map as home to traditional Afro-Cuban music. Throughout her career, Celia Cruz redefined salsa, recording more than 80 albums and songs, earning 23 Gold Records, and winning five Grammy Awards. Cruz passed in July 2003 from brain cancer, however, her prominent legacy spotlights Celia Cruz as a once-in-a-generation musician and performer in the salsa and Latin music genre.
"Over her brilliant 50-year career, Celia Cruz's music captured the unique vibrancy and magic of Latin culture, and won the hearts of millions across the globe. Now, as part of Cruz's amazing musical legacy, The Celia Cruz Foundation raises funds for Hispanic students whose dream is to study music. On behalf of the Celia Cruz Knight Estate and the Celia Cruz Foundation, we are honored by CHCI's recognition of Celia's lasting impact and look forward to continuing her original mission to open doors for Hispanic students who wish to pursue musical studies," said Omer Pardillo, President of the Celia Cruz Foundation.
The 2022 CHCI American Dream Medallion in Education, Science, Medicine, or Civil Rights will be awarded to Secretary Xavier Becerra
Born in Sacramento, California, Secretary Becerra is the son of working-class parents. As the 25th Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services and the first Latino to hold the office in the history of the United States, Becerra has the responsibility of carrying out President Biden's vision to build a healthy America, ensuring all Americans have health security and access to healthcare. Secretary Becerra served 12 terms in Congress as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, advocating for health, patient safety and lower costs for seniors. Throughout his career, Becerra cracked down on Medicare and Medicaid fraud, acted to combat the opioid crisis, including holding drug makers accountable, won an unprecedented $575 million antitrust settlement against one of the largest health systems in California, and led the federal court case to save the ACA and with it, the protections of the 133 million Americans with preexisting conditions.
"Developing the next generation of Latino leaders is key to ensuring everyone who works hard in our country has representation at the highest levels in the public and private sectors," said HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra. "As the son of parents from Mexico, I know first-hand how important it is to open doors for families across the country. Representation, whether in the halls of Congress or board rooms across the nation, is critical to protecting America's health. I'm proud to receive the 2022 American Dream Medallion Award, and I encourage young Latino leaders to continue doing their part to create a more perfect union. At HHS, our work continues to improve the health and well-being of communities nationwide, including the Latino community. From strengthening reproductive health care and protecting LGBTQ+ communities from discrimination to increasing access to federal insurance programs and closing disparities in COVID-19 vaccination rates – we at HHS, like the Institute, always have an eye toward equity."

Once I had begun to pay for lessons from the Rapid Results College (RRC) out of my measly salary of seven pounds a month (then worth about 20 US dollars!) I had to concentrate very seriously on my course.
There was no electricity at Asiakwa, so I had to use kerosene-lit lanterns or candles to study at night. This would be after a full day’s teaching, with all the unnecessarily laborious requirements – such as writing teachers’ notes and preparing “apparatus” -- thrown in. The candle and kerosene smell made me suffer from catarrh, so I needed extraordinary determination to stick to the course. Added to the strain was the cost of taking a lorry every Friday evening to Kyebi to take Latin lessons from Mr. Asiamah.
In the midst of all that, disaster struck: I was sacked from my pupil teacher’s post by a head teacher who was unsympathetic to my ambition to educate myself.
He forced me to take an examination to enter the Abetifi (Kwahu) Teacher’s Training College. I passed it, and he insisted that I should go and do the course.
I explained to him that I was studying privately for the General Certificate of Education (GCE), which was a higher qualification than the Certificate B Teacher’s Certificate that I would get at Abetifi. But he told me that if I wouldn’t go to the Training College, then he would give my job to someone else who was interested in getting trained as a teacher.
But the idea of my getting the GCE was intoxicating to me and I wouldn’t drop it. Master Samuel Aboagye, therefore, took away my job and my invaluable seven pounds a month salary!
I was advised by friends to write to the Department of Education office at Koforidua, to explain my situation. I did so, but when Mr. Aboagye was asked to explain himself, he angrily reported me to the church authorities at Asiakwa. He accused me of “insubordination”! He next gave them an ultimatum: if they retained me because Koforidua had intervened, he would resign.
The church authorities summoned me to come and explain why I had written a “letter” of complaint against my own head teacher. Cleverly, they also summoned my father! Why had they involved my father, who was illiterate? They knew he would be on the side of “authority”, being an Okyeame [Chief’s Spokesman] himself! The conspiracy against me was exposed when something particularly odd and very funny happened when the church elders sat on the case.
Master Aboagye suddenly produced a letter he said he had received from the Principal of the Abetifi Teacher’s Training College, in which the Principal, who, he said, was “an old friend” of his, had reported to him “confidentially” that I had topped the examination.
But, the Principal went on, at the interview which had followed the entrance examination, I had shown myself to be someone who was too “self-confident” and “lacked humility”.
(In fact, all that had happened was that at the interview, when the Principal had asked me what subject I was “weak” in, I had replied that I wasn’t “weak” in any subject! This was quite true as proved by my coming first in all the subjects I took.
But like the old Presbyterian puritan that he was, he hypocritically didn't want me to tell him the truth! He took umbrage at my answer, and he wrote to his “friend” to let him know that I was “boastful!”
Another setback I suffered at the hearing was that an old and sleepy teacher called Teacher Fosu, who was usually disregarded by the church elders because he always smelt strongly of akpeteshie, woke up at one point during the hearing to deliver the ponderous statement that I had done wrong in complaining in writing to the Koforidua Educational Department because (as he put it) “spoken words are fruiting (for “fleeting!”) but “written words are permanent!”
Not surprisingly, I was found “guilty”. My father was asked to pay a fine of two packets of matches!
I was shocked at the injustice of it all. Irrelevant considerations had been used to find me guilty, whilst my explanations had been ignored. What hurt most was that my father seemed to agree with the “elders”. He, in fact, apologized to the head teacher on my behalf! What for?
I was so scandalized by the proceedings that I didn’t ask my father to help me, when, later on, I felt ready to face the GCE and needed money to pay the entrance fee for the examination.
At my wit's end, I went to my beloved grandmother, Nana Afia Korang, instead. She too went and asked for the money from the chief of Asiakwa, who was an old “buddy” of hers and played the game "oware" with him regularly.
Thus it was that the chief, to whom all the church elders and my father deferred, tacitly upheld my stand against the elders, and without even enquiring about the circumstances of my plight, empowered me to take the most important examination in my life.
Indeed, the love shown to me by my grandmother, added to the support of the chief, fortified me psychologically. But even more important, I went and joined the Apostolic Church at Asiakwa, no doubt, subconsciously, to spite the elders of the Presbyterian Church for refusing to understand me.
In mid-1956, I arrived in Accra to sit the GCE in six subjects. I lodged with a taxi driver friend of mine, Kwaku Dakwa, who worked all day and left me to revise my lessons without being disturbed.
I remember the period very well because BBC radio was always giving reports about the Suez crisis (in which Israel, Britain, and France had invaded Egypt) and the Hungarian uprising (in which Soviet troops had invaded Hungary.) Listening to the radio with one ear whilst revising my lessons, turned out to be quite a pleasure: my alertness was sharpened!
This was a virtue that was to come in useful later when I became a journalist and needed at times to concentrate on writing, whilst noisy conditions prevailed all around me! | https://mobile.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/features/In-the-footprints-of-great-teachers-1598492 | 2022-08-08T13:50:09Z | https://mobile.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/features/In-the-footprints-of-great-teachers-1598492 | false | 3 |

Shares of ACV Auctions Inc. (ACVA - Free Report) have gained 5.7% over the past four weeks to close the last trading session at $7.64, but there could still be a solid upside left in the stock if short-term price targets of Wall Street analysts are any indication. Going by the price targets, the mean estimate of $16.58 indicates a potential upside of 117%.
The mean estimate comprises 12 short-term price targets with a standard deviation of $5.32. While the lowest estimate of $9 indicates a 17.8% increase from the current price level, the most optimistic analyst expects the stock to surge 266.5% to reach $28. It's very important to note the standard deviation here, as it helps understand the variability of the estimates. The smaller the standard deviation, the greater the agreement among analysts.
While the consensus price target is a much-coveted metric for investors, solely banking on this metric to make an investment decision may not be wise at all. That's because the ability and unbiasedness of analysts in setting price targets have long been questionable.
However, an impressive consensus price target is not the only factor that indicates a potential upside in ACVA. This view is strengthened by the agreement among analysts that the company will report better earnings than what they estimated earlier. Though a positive trend in earnings estimate revisions doesn't give any idea as to how much the stock could surge, it has proven effective in predicting an upside.
Here's What You May Not Know About Analysts' Price Targets
According to researchers at several universities across the globe, a price target is one of many pieces of information about a stock that misleads investors far more often than it guides. In fact, empirical research shows that price targets set by several analysts, irrespective of the extent of agreement, rarely indicate where the price of a stock could actually be heading.
While Wall Street analysts have deep knowledge of a company's fundamentals and the sensitivity of its business to economic and industry issues, many of them tend to set overly optimistic price targets. Are you wondering why?
They usually do that to drum up interest in shares of companies that their firms either have existing business relationships with or are looking to be associated with. In other words, business incentives of firms covering a stock often result in inflated price targets set by analysts.
However, a tight clustering of price targets, which is represented by a low standard deviation, indicates that analysts have a high degree of agreement about the direction and magnitude of a stock's price movement. While that doesn't necessarily mean the stock will hit the average price target, it could be a good starting point for further research aimed at identifying the potential fundamental driving forces.
That said, while investors should not entirely ignore price targets, making an investment decision solely based on them could lead to disappointing ROI. So, price targets should always be treated with a high degree of skepticism.
Here's Why There Could be Plenty of Upside Left in ACVA
Analysts' growing optimism over the company's earnings prospects, as indicated by strong agreement among them in revising EPS estimates higher, could be a legitimate reason to expect an upside in the stock. That's because empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.
Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has increased 1.2%, as one estimate has moved higher compared to no negative revision.
Moreover, ACVA currently has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), which means it is in the top 20% of more than the 4,000 stocks that we rank based on four factors related to earnings estimates. Given an impressive externally-audited track record, this is a more conclusive indication of the stock's potential upside in the near term. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>>
Therefore, while the consensus price target may not be a reliable indicator of how much ACVA could gain, the direction of price movement it implies does appear to be a good guide. | https://www.zacks.com/stock/news/1965328/can-acv-auctions-inc-acva-climb-117-to-reach-the-level-wall-street-analysts-expect? | 2022-08-08T13:56:19Z | https://www.zacks.com/stock/news/1965328/can-acv-auctions-inc-acva-climb-117-to-reach-the-level-wall-street-analysts-expect? | true | 1126 |
Parly takes first step in considering impeachment process against Ramaphosa
CAPE TOWN - In an unprecedented move for Parliament, it has taken the first step in considering an impeachment process against the president.
The African Transformation Movement (ATM), whose motion has set the ball rolling, said that Parliament must be proactive in carrying out its oversight role.
It said that other agencies were moving too slowly to determine wrongdoing on the part of Cyril Ramaphosa, in connection with the robbery on his Limpopo farm more than two years ago.
Parliament adopted rules to guide the process for the removal of a president back in 2018, following a Constitutional Court judgment related to the Nkandla saga.
The ATM is now the first party to test this process.
It believes that Ramaphosa has violated the law in at least four instances.
ATM leader Vuyo Zungula: "He’s confirmed he is selling livestock, whereas Section 96b prohibits members of Cabinet from undertaking any other paid work."
The Speaker will have to appoint an independent panel to consider the evidence and to determine whether an inquiry is necessary.
"We hope there won’t be any further delays and we hope this panel will be independent and truly objective when it comes to doing their work," Zungula said.
The ATM said that it was still considering who to nominate to serve on the panel.
The three-member panel will have to make a recommendation to the National Assembly whether sufficient grounds exist to initiate an impeachment inquiry.

“SLLLauuuuuRGGHHH!!!”
It’s disconcerting, taking a piss, and finding your next-door neighbour at the pee trough suddenly breaking into an animalistic roar. Shouldn’t they be focusing more on the task at hand? We are men, and yes, we must roar, but we also have garden sprinklers for genitals and such things require fierce concentration.
“Slayy-URGHH!!”
It’s a kind of ‘who’s here?!’ call, we guess. A rumble emitted from the bellies of beasts; a verbal locking-of-the-horns to assert your status in the herd. There seems to be a rule that the larger the roarer is in girth, the louder and more tremulous the ‘SlaaaayRARRR!!’ must be. Outside the toilets, while struggling through a sea of semi-naked, sweat-slicked male bodies, Slayer’s female UK PR is routinely ass-slapped and felt up. Loud bastards. Fucking morons.
“There’s too many smiling faces!” gushes Slayer singer/bassist Tom Araya, and I’m wondering if he’s been at the same gigs as us. “You look out in the crowd and you don’t see angry faces. You see smiles! They’re all like…” Tom breaks into a huge, exaggerated cheesy grin, chuffed to bits with the audience reception on Slayer’s Unholy Alliance world tour. “They’re just smiling away, makin’ faces at you. Y’know, if someone smiles, I’ll smile at them. To make them aware that we connected.”
The Unholy Alliance tour is, in spirit, a return to the 1991 Clash Of The Titans tour, which Slayer co-headlined with Megadeth and Anthrax – thrash’s victory parade. Featuring Lamb Of God, Mastodon, Children Of Bodom and Thine Eyes Bleed, these are the thrash babies grown up.
It’s a great package tour, but, a couple of dates in, it’s unbelievably depressing to find Chicago’s Aragon Ballroom a 95 per cent male-dominated sweatbox, where the few girls are repeatedly groped and harangued. It’s a Neanderthal attitude, seemingly sanctioned, with spotlights picking out girls in the balconies between bands, the whole crowd jeering and bullying them to flash their tits or arse. It’s something you would’ve expected from a Mötley Crüe show in the 80s, not Slayer in 2006.
What does Slayer mean to you in 2006, Tom?
The friendly, permanently chuckling frontman frowns hard and gazes out of the window of his St. Louis hotel. There’s a long pause. “A full life,” he answers at last. “I’d have to say that it’s a means to make a living.” He chuckles. “Or at least that’s what it’s turned out to be in recent years.”
Does it feel more like a job now?
“Yeah. Yeah, I think it’s like that with every band,” he sighs. “The playtime is when we’re onstage – that kind of erases all the shit that goes on in between. That’s not a job.”
The Unholy Alliance tour marks the Los Angeles band’s 24th year. The Slayer of today are barely recognisable as the amphetamine-fuelled teen headbangers of the 80s, clad in brilliantly silly spiked leather armbands, whose frantic live performances you should check out on YouTube. These days they don’t move as fast, but they still play fast. And they still look fucking cool – guitarists Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman flanking Araya like machine gun snipers who’ve got his back, and Dave Lombardo reigning over all of them on his towering drum riser, blasting out artillery beats. Araya is recovering from a gall-bladder operation so he stands back, letting the audience belt out the opening verses to live favourites like South Of Heaven and Angel Of Death, grinning incongruously at the carnage in the pit.
“In our younger years we were pretty crazy! But then you were young and invincible!” Tom laughs. “Then you grow up and find out that you’re not! You get older and you mature, but that certainly doesn’t mean that you stop loving what you do.”
At this point in our interview, a giggling pair of small children – healthy looking, honey-skinned Californian kids – come running over, hesitating at the sight of Hammer’s microphone. They’re Tom’s kids.
Tom beams and you can see the pride in his eyes. “Yeah, they’re mine,” he nods. “Seven and 10. My boys actually sit behind Dave on the drums and copy him. Going bezerk! That’s a good sign. They both have little drum sets.”
How nice is Tom Araya? Tom Araya is so nice. I want Tom Araya to be my dad. How the fuck Araya and his bandmates managed to conjure such bile and bite on their new album Christ Illusion – a tightly-wound piece of nastiness that Hammer’s Features Ed described as sounding like a rattlesnake in a tumble dryer – then, is a mystery. On tracks like Cult and Jihad it seems that Slayer’s role is to list all of the evils in the world and spit it, cobra-like, back in the world’s face – the voice of immaculate sin.
Nick Cave once said of his time in Aussie destroyers The Birthday Party that he envisioned himself as the mouthpiece of an angry god: “All I had to do was walk onstage and open my mouth and let the curse of God roar through me… I was a conduit for a God that spoke in a language written in bile and puke. And that suited me fine.”
As the mouthpiece of Slayer, with all that concentrated nastiness flowing through him, is that how Tom Araya feels when he sings and plays?
“This is how I am,” he explains, patting his t-shirted chest, a ponytailed, gentle dad with a huge smile. “I’m like this, until show time. Onstage now I don’t portray the seriousness that I used to in the early days. It’s nice to smile. You’re singing about death and murder and killing babies… and you’re smiling. I want everyone to see that I’m having fun.”
“Tainted?” guitarist Kerry King cackles loudly. “Dave’s tainted?!”
Maybe not tainted, but Dave Lombardo is the only member of Slayer to have a profile outside of the band. He had to forge his own identity – forming his own metal band Grip Inc., playing with Mike Patton’s Fantomas and collaborating with myriad non-metal musicians – because he was thrown out of Slayer in 1992. In taking him back that must have concerned King, the perceived leader of Slayer.
“No, I think Dave knows exactly what is demanded of the drummer in Slayer.” Kerry turns to his drummer, with whom he fell out acrimoniously in the 90s, alleging that a cocaine habit had crippled his prodigious percussion skills. “And I think by you doing other things, you came up with some stuff that me and Jeff would never fuckin’ think of.”
Lombardo rejoined the band as a touring drummer in 2001, but Christ Illusion is the first music he’s written with King in 15 years. Immediately prior to writing, Lombardo announced that Kerry King didn’t want him to play on the album. Was there a difficult period of reconciliation afterwards?
“Yeah, no, nothing,” Lombardo twitches as Slayer’s two guitarists, sitting either side of him, observe impassively through mirrored shades.
There were some bitter words from both sides.
“Yeahidunnoiforget.” Lombardo rattles off quickly, and dismissively.
“We just picked up where we left off,” says Jeff Hanneman.
“Yeah, well maybe a year before we left off,” Lombardo corrects. “So, we’re fine, yeah.”
Kerry and Jeff, did you hear Fantomas’ Reign In Blood medley?
Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman’s heads turn sharply towards Lombardo.
“We did a medley,” Lombardo explains, looking slightly uncomfortable. “A Slayer medley. Where we play five or six songs together in very abrupt parts. It’s pretty neat.”
“So you’re making fun of us,” Hanneman says, nodding.
“No! Actually, it was honourable, honourable… uh… you know what I mean.”
In his decade long sojourn from Slayer, Dave Lombardo became a much sought-after musician – working in all genres of music, from avant-jazz to hip-hop and even classical. Slayer, meanwhile, with replacement drummer Paul Bostaph, alienated some fans with a less intricate, more hardcore-influenced direction. As Lombardo’s official Slayer comeback, fans have rabidly anticipated Christ Illusion.
Dave, what did you think of the albums that they made without you?
“Um…” he pauses. “I was very anal. On what Paul Bostaph was doing. And it was frustrating for me, so I just put them away.”
“When Dave wasn’t in the band it just wasn’t the same!” Jeff says. “We were still playing and it was still Slayer, but once he came back the chemistry was there again.”
The chemistry that the four members generate is unique. Slayer aren’t just an important metal band – the music they make sounds like nothing else. No one plays like Slayer. Slayer songs are almost mathematical – whirling grids of strange, shifting rhythms sliced up and down by King and Hanneman’s serial killer guitar solos and marshalled by Lombardo’s extraordinary drumming. Lately their music has been revered by the avant garde community, with even the Cologne Contemporary Jazz Orchestra attempting to interpret the Slayer oeuvre.
“Drummers are continuously playing like a metronome onstage or whatever,” says Dave, who insists that the other bands on the Unholy Alliance expedition don’t interest him.
“I think it’s really boring. I look at Slayer more like an orchestral thing where you have crescendos and diminuendos within the music.”
With no formal training, King, Hanneman, Araya and Lombardo began playing shows in their lunch hour at high school and essentially made up their own kind of music. It was labelled ‘thrash’ or ‘speed metal’ because it was lightning fast, and because King and Hanneman’s lyrics dwelt heavily, and almost childishly, on death, hell and the devil.
It’s a theme that hasn’t gone away, now updated on Christ Illusion into a broader, more socio-political swipe against organised religion. “The target’s fucking Jesus Christ/The one I’d love to sacrifice!” snarls Tom on comeback single Cult.
“Slayer and God aren’t best friends,” states Kerry, somewhat mildly.
Slayer seems blasphemous not so much for the lyrics (which, it’s fair to say, have always the weakest point in Slayer’s armoury), but for the actual sound of the music. The music is always fast, vicious, intelligent – like it’s a super-weapon designed to actually take down a deity.
“They use the notes that were banned in the time of classical music, that scare people,” Lombardo explains, referring to the discordant ‘diabolous in musica’ chord interval that gave Slayer’s 1998 album its title.
“When I come up with something that sounds dark or evil, it makes me think bad thoughts.” Jeff Hanneman smiles. “And I like that.”
Why do you like thinking bad thoughts, Jeff?
“OK, Spill The Blood. You know that opening riff? When I hear that I just wanna slit somebody’s throat!” The Aryan-blonde guitarist laughs. “Spill the blood!”
Do you think of your music as a kind of violence?
“More like a release than violence,” says Kerry. “I mean, we go out on stage and we thrash around for an hour. And when you get done, you’re just all, wow, that’s cool. Let’s have a drink. Chill out for a while.”
Slayer are at their most effective when at maximum speed and velocity. Maybe it’s because fast denotes danger. Things that can kill you are fast: fighter jets, sharks, cobras.
Listening to Slayer makes your whole body feel tense, your heat beats faster, you think faster – you don’t necessarily feel better for listening to it but you do feel faster and more powerful. If you walk down the street with Slayer on your headphones, no one can fuck with you. You feel like you’ve got secret razor blades stashed in your skull.
“SlaaayARGHHH!!”
The Unholy Alliance rolls into the parking lot of a redneck truckers’ drive outside St. Louis. The crowd cheer and pump their fists in the air – and into each other – as projections of inverted crosses and holocaust skeletons scroll behind Lombardo’s drum riser, tastefully emblazoned with a huge flashing ‘SLAYER’ logo that drips blood.
‘SLAYER!!’ drips the logo all over Auschwitz’s skulls. Flashflash! Flashflash! “SlayUGHH!!” roar the crowd.
They’re fucking brilliant, Slayer. Live, the four of them are tighter than a squadron of F16s. They hack everything out at a pace that kills. It charges the brains and bodies of the slamdancing Missourians – we spot one tiny girl taking on a whole circle pit full of musclebound meatheads, kicking and flinging heavy metal truckers into each other like atoms.
“Hey boy, do you cry when you masturbate?” sneers a liquored-up gang from their pick-up truck, taking offence at Hammer’s bookish constitution and looking for a fight. We don’t give a fuck. We’ve just mainlined Slayer live and we feel fierce. Not angry, just wired and poised, like scorpions out on the town.
No other music makes us feel like this. Slayer are still the most killingest band on the planet.

Back to school shopping: everything you need for your kid’s new term
This article contains affiliate links. We may earn a small commission on items purchased through this article, but that does not affect our editorial judgement.
As the summer holidays move towards their conclusion, parents’ stress levels are at their peak, exasperated by enduring weeks of child entertainment.
And before you’re able to pack them off to school there’s one more stressful task that needs doing: make sure they have everything they need for the new school term.
What are the back to school essentials?
A quick measure of how tall they’ve grown will set you up for any new items of uniform that need purchasing, but what about the other essentials that every kid needs?
To help ease the stress we’ve come up with a checklist of ten school essentials, with a product recommendation in each category. Depending on their age, you may need only a few of them. But even kids who have already been in school for a few years are likely to need items replaced due to loss, breakage or, more likely, a change in what is currently cool among their peers.
Before investing, consult with your kids so that each purchase meets with their approval, then get them in early, and at least some of the holiday stress will begin to lift before term time begins.
The back to school checklist, at a glance:
- Best for a water bottle: Smash Small Water Sipper Bottle
- Best digital accessory for older students and teachers: Rocketbook Reusable Academic Planner
- Best for coolest bag accessory: Lego Star Wars R2D2 Bag Tag
- Best for writing for younger kids: Stabilo EASY Original Right Handed Rollerball Pen
- Best for basic notebooks: Ryman Kraft Notebook Wirebound Ruled A5
- Best for a lunch bag: Thermos X Rachel Ellen Lunch Kit Bag
- Best backpack: Pachee Backpack
- Best for maths class: Helix Oxford Maths Set
- Best for budding artists: Winsor & Newton Sketching Pencil Set
- Best pencil case: Fringoo Silicone Patch Pugicorn Pencil Case

If you’re looking to cool your kids down in the summer heat, check out our list of the best paddling pools for 2022, or head to the beach with one of these fantastic body boards. If they’re a bit more confident in the surf, try them on one of these surfboards, or our best rated SUPs.
Smash Small Sipper Water Bottle
Pros: Good, solid 100% BPA free water bottle
Cons: Patterns aren’t especially colourful
We’ve seen lots of businesses claiming to have revolutionized the water bottle with elaborate designs said to make drinking from them easier. But in our experience most of these have flaws which renders them a waste of money.
We like Smash water bottles because they follow a simple design, are cheap and work. Their Small Sippers range is made from Tritan material, a plastic that is BPA-free, food safe, tough and shatterproof.
There’s a choice of child friendly patterns to choose from, although they’re not quite as colourful as other bottles on the market.
The screw top lid has a built-in handle and you drink through a sipper which flips neatly into the cap when not in use. It’s a simple solution that’s perfect for the kids.
Rocketbook Reusable Academic Planner
Pros: Reusable planner
Cons: Pricey
If you’ve got tech savvy children with their heads in the digital cloud, then Rocketbook’s planners and notebooks could well be a good investment.
Each book has synthetic paper pages that you write on with a special pen (provided) before photographing it with your smartphone.
The QR code on each page will then do its thing and send a neat PDF to the cloud, email or other digital destination. Once safely stored you can wipe the page clean (cloth also provided) and re-use the page.
The Academic Planner is particularly useful for older students, with 13 different page types, including schedules, calendars and blank pages for notes or doodles, and an option to convert your handwriting into text.
You can also add your own subjects to pages and the Rocketbook will help you to organise them into their relevant folders. The planner is not only suitable for older kids, but teachers will find it immensely useful too.

Pros: Looks great and stands out
Cons: More expensive than a simple tag
Kids have an incredible ability to lose things at school so sticking labels with their name on everything is essential.
And when it comes to their school bag, the label isn’t just about displaying the owner’s identity, it’s also about marking them out as the coolest kid in class.
We think few things have such an enduring cool factor as Lego or Star Wars, so are instantly drawn to these Lego Star Wars Labels.
Choose from characters including R2D2, Darth Vader and Yoda, or a Tie Fighter, Millennium Falcon or X-Wing, then fill out your details on the reverse and fasten to your bag with the flexible loop.
They’re made from durable 5mm thick silicone that is non-toxic, odourless and PVC free. If Star Wars isn’t your thing then other Lego tags are available, each one big enough to stand out and help prevent losing those bags to the dark side.
Stabilo EASY Original Right Handed Rollerball Pen
Pros: Ergonomically designed pen
Cons: At £5 a pop, make sure the kids don’t lose it
Leading German pen manufacturer Stabilo set their boffins the task of producing an ergonomically designed pen that helps kids to write, one of the most important things they learn to do.
The result is this EASY Original rollerball, which is available as a left- or right-handed option, besides coming in various bright colours.
It has a moulded grip and contours that have been calculated for tiny hands clasp in the correct manner, thus minimising strain and making writing easier.
The roller ball tip allows ink to flow freely and precisely, further reducing the effort so that children can use it for longer. It’s tough and refillable, with replacement ink coming with a new nib, so although it’s a pricey initial outlay for a pen it should last a long time.
Ryman Kraft Notebook Wirebound Ruled A5
Pros: Cheap notebooks with recycled cover
Cons: Very basic – few marks for style
We think that you can never have too many notebooks. Despite modern technology controlling our lives, a source of paper is always useful for making lists, working out calculations, jotting down moments of inspiration or simply scribbling and doodling.
Whilst some kids will want their notebook to be as trendy as the rest of their kit, it’s also useful to know of a good source of cheap notebooks for those students who use them as much as we do.
Stationery aces Ryman is the place to look. Their A5 Kraft notebooks are just the ticket, with 120 pages of ruled paper, at a decent weight of 120gsm, fixed in a wire binder.
The plain brown cover is 100% recycled and can be customised with ink, pencil, crayon or stickers and it’s all kept together with an elasticated strap.
Thermos X Rachel Ellen Lunch Kit Bag
Pros: Padded, insulated and easily to clean
Cons: Illustrations only aimed at younger kids
Flask masters Thermos have a good range of bags, bottles and food containers suitable for taking to school and, for the youngest kids, they’ve commissioned Rachel Ellen Design to give their products a colourful, illustrative appeal.
Inside their lunch kit bag you’ll find enough room for a drinks bottle and all the food they’ll need, with its insulated lining helping to keep the contents cool.
It’s easy to clean – an all important factor with young children and food – and has a padded carrying handle firmly stitched in place.
The bright colours make it stand out at a distance (which should help it to be found among other lunch bags) with the fun illustrations featuring kid-classic themes such as dinosaurs, unicorns and pirates. Matching bottles and containers are also available.

{{/hasItems}} {{#items}} {{/items}}Pachee Backpack
Pros: Durable two part backpack
Cons: Quite big for smaller kids
A good, durable backpack can last a kid not only through school but for holidays, days out and sports classes too. Pachee’s beltpacks are designed for pretty much any back-packing duties your kid might need thanks to its two-part design, combining a large, twin strapped bag with a smaller, detachable belt bag.
It’s made from strong, water resistant eco-cotton canvas and is well padded for the back and shoulders, and has an additional strap that can be clipped around the waist for further support.
The belt bag has two zipped compartments while the main pack has two side pockets (one with a small popper strap) for extra storage. It comes in four plain, bright colours and is designed to be customised with patches.
Helix Oxford Maths Set
Pros: A cheap, standard set for maths classes
Cons: A bit old fashioned for cooler kids
Helix first began producing maths sets in 1912 and ‘The Helix Oxford Set of Mathematical Instruments Complete & Accurate’ (to give it its full title) has been helping kids with their geometrical calculations for generations.
Inside the old-fashioned tin you’ll find instruments that trigger school-days nostalgia as much as bunsen burners, recorders and blackboard erasers.

Pros: Professional quality pencils for sketching
Cons: Costs more than your average pencil set
If you’ve got an older child with artistic aspirations then it’s worth investing in professional standard pencils to help fuel their creativity.
Messers Winsor (a chemist) and Newton (an artist) got together in 1832 to start producing improved art materials, and many of the world’s leading creative minds have been using them ever since. So we think this pencil set is more than satisfactory for your budding Picasso.
It comprises three graphite pencils (2B, 6B and 8B) and four charcoal pencils (medium, hard, white and sepia), which are a sketcher and doodler’s dream, along with a blender, eraser and sharpener.
They are all neatly packaged in a tough, slim tin to make them easy to carry around, because you never know when artistic inspiration might strike.
Fringoo Silicone Patch Pugicorn Pencil Case
Pros: Fun, colourful pencil case with loads of storage space
Cons: Made of silicone – better than plastic, but still not the best for the environment
To many children, a pencil case is the most important item they will own. Few things will get as much use and, much like a grown up’s handbag or wallet, it will likely expand over the years as more pens, pencils and collected ephemera get crammed inside.
Fringoo’s silicon patch pencil cases can hold a fair amount of such stuff, with 12 elasticated pen slots inside the outer layer, which wraps around a zipped compartment for plenty more trinkets.
It’s made of brightly decorated silicone with eight fun designs to choose from, our favourite being the surreal sight of a pug with a unicorn horn surrounded by rainbow bones. These cases are practical and fun – get the right design and it will be treasured for a good while. | https://www.hucknalldispatch.co.uk/recommended/back-to-school-shopping-backpacks-stationery-lunch-bags-and-water-bottles-3797355 | 2022-08-08T13:59:35Z | https://www.hucknalldispatch.co.uk/recommended/back-to-school-shopping-backpacks-stationery-lunch-bags-and-water-bottles-3797355 | false | 25 |
Report: Michigan AG seeks special prosecutor in 2020 probe
LANSING, Mich. (AP) — The Michigan Attorney General’s office is asking that a special prosecutor investigate whether the Republican candidate for state attorney general and others should be charged in connection with an effort to gain access to voting machines after the 2020 election, according to published reports.
The Detroit News reported Sunday that Attorney General Dana Nessel’s office has asked that the Michigan Prosecuting Attorneys Coordinating Council, a state agency, appoint a special prosecutor to consider charges against nine people, including Republican attorney general candidate Matt DePerno, state Rep. Daire Rendon of Lake City and Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf.
The newspaper reported that the details of allegations were made in a letter sent Friday by Nessel’s chief deputy attorney general, Christina Grossi, to Democratic Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson.
They involved convincing local clerks to hand over voting tabulators, breaking into them and performing “tests,” according to the letter.
The request for a special prosecutor was made because of the potential conflict of interest since Nessel likely will face DePerno in the November election.
DePerno, a lawyer, has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump. The political newcomer supports Trump’s false claims about his 2020 loss in the swing state to President Joe Biden. DePerno was endorsed by Michigan Republicans at their state convention in April. He will be officially nominated at a second convention later this month, but that was considered a formality.
“Dana Nessel knows she is losing this race,” DePerno’s campaign manager, Tyson Shepard, said in a statement Sunday night, The News reported. “She is desperate to win this election at all costs and is now targeting DePerno, her political opponent. Her actions are unethical and will further demonstrate to the voters that she is unfit for office.”
Five tabulators were taken from Roscommon and Missaukee counties in northern Michigan, and Barry County in western Michigan, according to the petition, which further states that Ben Cotton, Jeff Lenberg, Douglas Logan and James Penrose “broke into the tabulators and performed ‘tests’ on the equipment.”
Cotton, Lenberg, Logan and Penrose have all been involved in efforts to question the 2020 election. Cotton, Lenberg and Penrose were cited as experts by DePerno in a lawsuit involving Antrim County, The News reported.
Logan is the founder of Cyber Ninjas. He was involved in an audit of results in Maricopa County, Arizona.
The News said Leaf didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment Sunday and Rendon couldn’t be reached.
Obtaining undue possession of a voting machine used in an election is a felony punishable by five years in prison, the newspaper reported.

- Black Knight's Optimal Blue Mortgage Market Indices tracked 30-year rates as they pulled back to finish the month at 5.3%, a drop of 49 basis points (bps) from June
- Total lock volumes were down 14.4% from June, with declines seen in both rate/term (-16.9%) and cash-out (-14.1%) refinances as well as purchase loans (-14.3%), which accounted for 82% of all lock activity
- The purchase lock count, which excludes the impact of soaring home values on volume, is off 25.8% from last year and 11% from 2019, marking the first month the number of purchase locks has fallen below pre-pandemic levels, as affordability challenges continue to cool the housing market
- The average purchase price among homes being financed fell by another $10,000 (-2.2%) in July and is now down by more than $31K (-6.6%) since March as rising interest rates have eroded buying power and affordability in recent months
- Conventional and government-backed (FHA and VA) locks captured additional market share from non-conforming products, a trend also likely reflected by a further decline in the average loan amount
- The average borrower credit score on cash-out refinances edged slightly lower to 692, reaching the lowest point since Optimal Blue began tracking the metric in 2013
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Aug. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Black Knight, Inc. (NYSE: BKI) announced the release of its latest Originations Market Monitor report, looking at mortgage origination data through July month-end. Leveraging daily rate lock data from the Black Knight Optimal Blue PPE -- mortgage lending's most widely used pricing engine -- the Originations Market Monitor provides the industry's earliest and most comprehensive view of origination activity.
"Mortgage originators continue to experience strong headwinds," said Scott Happ, president of Optimal Blue, a division of Black Knight. "Rate lock activity has been down four straight months, with declines across all loan purpose types. Purchase mortgages, which currently account for 82% of all lock activity, fell 14.3% by volume from June and are now down 22% from last year. The purchase lock count, which excludes the impact of soaring home values on volume, is off 25.8% from last year. That count is now down 11% from 2019, marking the first month the number of purchase locks has fallen below pre-pandemic levels, as affordability challenges continue to cool the housing market."
The month's pipeline data showed overall rate locks down 14.4% month over month, led by a 16.9% decline in rate/term refinance locks, which are now down 93.6% since last year. Cash-out refinance activity fell another 14.1% from June -- a 67.2% year-over-year decline. The refi share of the market held at just 18%, the lowest point on record since at least January 2018, when Optimal Blue began tracking the metric. Government loan products gained market share as FHA lock activity increased at the expense of non-conforming loan volumes, a trend also likely reflected in another decline in the average loan amount -- from $351,000 to $344,000. The overall average credit score in July was 722, with scores on cash-out refinances edging modestly lower to 692 -- the lowest since Optimal Blue began tracking the metric in 2013.
"Although 30-year interest rates actually pulled back slightly in July, the originations market is still reacting to previous increases and continuing affordability challenges," Happ continued. "As we reported in our recent Mortgage Monitor report, home prices have begun to pull back in some of the hotter home markets, particularly those on the West Coast. With the end of the traditional homebuying season approaching, we will be watching this trend closely."
Each month's Originations Market Monitor provides high-level origination metrics for the U.S. and the top 20 metropolitan statistical areas by share of total origination volume. Much more detail on July's origination activity can be found in the full Black Knight Originations Market Monitor report.

The migrant surge continues, with asylum seekers choosing Yuma as the crossing point due to easy access into the U.S. through Morelos Dam, according to Tony Badilla, director of Yuma County Emergency Management.
Badilla, in a border update to the Board of Supervisors, noted that most migrants who cross through Yuma are from countries that might make them eligible for asylum. These migrants cross the border and surrender to Border Patrol agents so they can request asylum.
On the other hand, in Tucson, the majority of migrants cross through that area because they hope to remain undetected. The majority of the migrants detained in this sector are sent back to their countries of origin.
Badilla reported that 1.63 million undocumented immigrants entered through the U.S. southern border from October through June. Of those, 49% did so under Title 8, which means they’re allowed to stay under U.S. asylum rules, and 51% were returned to Mexico or their countries under Title 42.
In that same time period, 235,230 migrants entered through the Yuma Sector, 208,518 under Title 8 and 26,712 under Title 42. This means about 89% of the migrants who crossed through Yuma sought asylum under Title 8. Migrants may seek asylum in the U.S., citing a credible fear of persecution or other threats in their home country.
Under Title 42, migrants can be returned to their country of origin. Title 42 is a public health order issued in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing the government to turn away migrants at the border due to the public health crisis.
“So the majority of ours are Title 8 and allowed to enter the country here. In the Tucson Sector, they’re pretty much flip- flopped,” Badilla said, pointing out that in the Tucson Sector, 79% of detained migrants are returned to their country of origin under Title 42.
Last month, the Biden administration announced plans to close the gaps in the border fence along Morelos Dam, which allow migrants to walk across the dry river bed into the U.S. to surrender to border agents.
Supervisor Darren Simmons pointed out that the number of migrants crossing through Yuma is “more or less our population. Our normal population is less than what’s coming across.”
Chairman Tony Reyes indicated that he’s not surprised that the majority of asylum seekers choose Yuma as the crossing point. “People go where they think they are going to be taken in. So this is like a self-fulfilling prophecy in Yuma County,” Reyes said. “It gets around, it gets known.”
Badilla agreed, noting that at Morelos Dam, “they’re just walking across, waiting for the pick ups, because they know they’re going to qualify under Title 8 to stay in the country.”
“If you make it easy, they’ll find you, and you know that’s what’s happening at the Morelos Dam. And it’s just becoming a crossing point that is known throughout the country of Mexico as a place to go to get across,” Reyes said.
“I still believe that the policies in some ways create this kind of a situation in different locations. The policies and maybe the holes in the fence, which are getting fixed. There’s a lot of factors that come into play,” he added.
“But at the end of the day, this can’t continue the way it is. People shouldn’t be crossing in July and August. Those are very hot months. So that’s why we have so many instances of problems and danger. It is an unsustainable process.”
County emergency management representatives have been meeting with state and federal officials about the fence that’s going up along the border. In addition, the state has continued to put fencing up around agriculture fields to protect them from migrants who might walk through fields in search of border agents and/or resources, such as food and water.
“They’ve been meeting with the farmers, also with the federal partners to ensure they can put those fences in there,” Badilla said.
The county’s medical examiner continues to investigate migrant deaths in the border area. Consequently, the Medical Examiner’s Office has been “very active” from January through July, according to Badilla.
The bodies of 42 undocumented border crossers have been recovered in Yuma County. That is an increase of 147% over the same period last year.
“Last year, for the whole year, they had 17, and they’re already at 42,” Badilla said. “Out of 42, 25 are from Mexico. They had eight other countries involved, and four are currently unidentified. They’re not sure who they are, where they’re from.”
The Regional Center for Border Health continues to provide the services in partnership with other nonprofit organizations. The center picks up Title 8 migrants at the Border Patrol station, screens them for COVID-19 and moves them out of the area.
Some of the migrants are transported to Washington, D.C., on two to three weekly bus trips funded by the state. By the end of July, 34 buses had left Yuma County, with a total of 1,284 migrants voluntarily taking the trip.
“Those people want to go there. They’re allowed to go,” Badilla said.
Simmons noted that officials in Washington and other areas are starting to take notice of the migrants. “You’ve got the mayors of D.C. and New York whining and crying, saying we need more money to handle the little bit they’re getting coming up into their area from our problem,” he said.
Badilla pointed out that the number of migrants bused to those areas are a fraction of what Yuma receives. “What they’ve gotten so far is probably less than what we get in a week here,” he said.
“And that’s the problem,” Reyes said. “We’re moving the problem some place else. We’re not really solving the problem. We’re just transporting it someplace else.”
“We’re trying to make them aware that there is a problem,” Supervisor Lynne Pancrazi said.
She asked Badilla to convey their thanks to Amanda Aguirre, president and CEO of the Regional Center for Border Health, for her organization’s work with the migrants.
Badilla “echoed” the sentiment, noting that RCFBH and all the nongovernmental organizations helping with the situation deserve thanks.
“This is actually a humanitarian issue, and they’re dealing with it quite efficiently, and we’re very fortunate to have a lot of those organizations in Yuma County to support this humanitarian issue,” Badilla said. | https://www.yumasun.com/news/officials-reflect-on-reasons-migrants-flock-to-yuma/article_ddbbbed8-16ab-11ed-9ec1-c3d00da6cd76.html | 2022-08-08T14:02:36Z | https://www.yumasun.com/news/officials-reflect-on-reasons-migrants-flock-to-yuma/article_ddbbbed8-16ab-11ed-9ec1-c3d00da6cd76.html | false | 1 |

80-Year-Old Woman Banned from YMCA Pool Over What She Saw Man Doing in Women's Dressing Room
Radical progressives abhor Christianity. They abhor tradition. And they are attempting to subvert reality to topple the Western heritage.
Julie Jaman, an 80-year-old woman from Port Townsend, Washington, expressed her discomfort and fear when she encountered a male in the women’s shower area at the local YMCA.
The YMCA’s reaction? Jaman was permanently banned from the facility, according to the Port Townsend Free Press.
For 35 years, Jaman felt like the Mountain View pool — a city facility now operated in partnership with the Olympic Peninsula YMCA — was a safe place. Not anymore. Her world was turned upside down. And then it was shaken up.
On July 26, Jaman found herself standing naked in the presence of a male in a woman’s bathing suit. She was disturbed — to put it mildly — that a man was standing before her watching little girls take off their swimsuits.
According to the Free Press, Jaman asked the man, a YMCA employee who goes by the name Clementine Adams, “Do you have a penis?”
“None of your business,” Adams responded.
“Get out of here right now,” Jaman ordered.
Sensing the girls were in danger, Jaman continued to demand that the man leave the area. Another YMCA employee then called the police on Jaman.
In a police report obtained by the Free Press, an officer with the Port Townsend Police Department said that Jaman was using the restroom and “heard a man’s voice and observed what appeared to be a man in a female bathing suit assisting a small female child.”
This “triggered” Jaman, who “had an emotional response to a strange male being in the bathroom and helping a young girl take off her bathing suit.”
Jaman later corrected the report by insisting she did not see any physical contact between Adams and the girls. What she saw was a man in a woman’s bathing suit looking at young girls undressing.
The police report also contained records of calls made by someone from the YMCA who said that “Clementine was in the bathroom with a child … and Julie asked if she had a penis and started screaming at her to get out.”
In other calls, the unidentified caller said that Jaman was “asked to leave and is refusing” and that she was “screaming at [employees] and calling names.”
The YMCA’s aquatics manager, Rowen DeLuna, told Jaman that she had not “abided by our principles and values.”
The “principles and values” of the YMCA are the law of the land in Washington state: “All covered entities shall allow individuals the use of gender-segregated facilities, such as restrooms, locker rooms, dressing rooms, and homeless or emergency shelters, that are consistent with that individual’s gender expression or gender identity.”
Jaman told the Port Townsend City Council, “There is no signage informing women the shower room is now all-gender and what that means, nor have parents been informed of what they can expect with these new policies,” according to the Post Millennial.
Wendy Bart, CEO of the Olympic Peninsula YMCA, told Jaman the “pride” signs posted around the facility are adequate to let women know that men who identify as women will be using the women’s dressing room, the Free Press reported.
It is understandable that the term “all-gender” confused Jaman. But no amount of signage can adequately explain what it means because the term defies logic and therefore a coherent definition.
This incident is an example of the ongoing clash between two radically opposed value systems. These two systems are so diametrically antithetical that it is highly doubtful they can be reconciled.
On one side we have the value system characterized by Julie Jaman. This is is the realist camp. Best articulated by St. Thomas Aquinas, this worldview is based on the observation of reality, logic and reason.
In the opposing camp, we have the system characterized by Clementine Adams, Rowen DeLuna and Wendy Bart. This system — apparently the absurd can be systematic — relies on the feelings of the confused.
Reason leads toward God. Combined with faith, it is the way of peace. Confusion leads to perdition. Combined with hubris, it is the way of damnation.
Never the twain shall meet.
The C in YMCA used to stand for Christian. What does it stand for now? Cultural Marxism is my bet.
Julie Jaman is elderly, but that doesn’t make her outdated, as the cultural Marxist camp would have our children believe. Her longevity carries with it the wisdom of the tradition that came before her. She was simply trying to protect young girls from what she instinctively sensed as danger.
Sometimes wisdom resides in instinct.
The radical progressives abhor wisdom and so are attempting to cancel the human soul.

Tweeps reacts to Jub Jub’s alleged girlfriend who he has reportedly been with for ‘19 years’
While Jub Jub shot up Mzansi's trends list on Monday following his return to Uyajola 9/9 on Sunday, his own relationship affairs have come to light.
This after a local Twitter user shared cosy images of Jub Jub and his supposed partner and alleged girlfriend of 19 years, Tumi Mthembu.
The “disgruntled” girlfriend, who told City Press the TV presenter cheated on her on different occasions, alleged Jub Jub proposed marriage to her in December 2021. She also claimed Zenith “Zee” Mia, the woman known as his wife to the public, was not married to Jub Jub.
“The woman who is known in public as his wife isn’t his wife. She’s just another one of the women he’s dating. She doesn’t know about me. According to her, she’s his main partner and that’s what we all think because that’s what he wants us to think”.
Attempts by TshisaLIVE to get comment from Jub Jub were unsuccessful at the time of publishing this article. An update will be included once received.

— Musa Khawula (@MusaKhawula) August 6, 2022
Speaking about his wife during an interview with TshisaLIVE in 2018, Jub Jub said he loved having a partner who was not with him because of fame and stood by him throughout his life's challenges.
“In other relationships I was in, we were growing into life. This women has stood the test of time. She was there before, she stood by me through my prison term, through the trials and tribulations. She never judged me, she never cursed me, she never looked at me in a different kind of way.
“She's not there for the fame, she's not there for the money, she's not there for anything, that's why y'all haven't seen her. One of the mistakes I made (in the past) was to bring my private life into the public eyes. She doesn't want the fame. She doesn't want the cameras, the pictures, none of that. She doesn't want to do interviews. She is out of the limelight,” Jub Jub said at the time.

With funding from the Apprenticeships Building America program, JFF will expand access to Registered Apprenticeships for 1,000 young adults in regional hubs
BOSTON, Aug. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Jobs for the Future (JFF), a national nonprofit driving transformation in the American workforce and education systems, today announced that its Center for Apprenticeship & Work-Based Learning has been awarded $5 million in funding from the U.S. Department of Labor to help more than 1,000 school-age young people access pathways to high-quality apprenticeships. Through an ambitious four-year initiative, JFF will partner with organizations across regional hubs to expand access to high-quality Registered Apprenticeship programs (RAP) for in-school and out-of-school young people from many different backgrounds.
"In an uncertain economic climate, Registered Apprenticeship programs can meet pressing needs from employers while also giving young people the start they need to enter the workforce," said Maria Flynn, CEO of Jobs for the Future. "It's truly a win-win situation— Registered Apprenticeship programs deliver on their promise of economic advancement for workers while also creating a job-ready talent pool that has cultivated the skills for success. With greater ability to scale access and reach previously untapped pockets of talent, the outlook for apprenticeships is brighter than ever."
Research has long shown that Registered Apprenticeship is an effective approach to building a skilled labor force and creating pathways to long-term employment, particularly for the more than 4.69 million people between the ages of 16 and 24 who are either out of school or unemployed. Over the next four years, the new initiative led by JFF — named Next Generation Apprenticeship for Next Generation Talent — will build and scale more equitable models of Registered Apprenticeship by designing youth-centered approaches, including the creation of a pre-apprenticeship on-ramp for young adults who need support and training before beginning an apprenticeship.
To help expand Registered Apprenticeship opportunities for school-age young people, the U.S. Department of Labor announced over $121 million in new funding earlier this year through the Apprenticeships Building America program, with $58 million dedicated to establishing equity partnerships and pre-apprenticeship activities. The program supports state apprenticeship system building and modernization, expansion of Registered Apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship opportunities for young people, increasing equitable access through pre-apprenticeship, and the creation of Registered Apprenticeship hubs.
"In today's rapidly changing world of work, high-quality Registered Apprenticeship represents a pathway to economic security—and careers in fast-growing industries—for youth and young adults from a variety of backgrounds," said Myriam Sullivan, director at JFF's Center for Apprenticeship & Work-Based Learning. "This work is about making industry-supported Registered Apprenticeships more inclusive and accessible to school-age young people—and removing barriers to entry for those who would benefit the most, but for whom apprenticeship has largely been inaccessible."
This project is designed to reach young people ages 16-24 that are both in-school and out-of-school, with the ultimate goal of making these opportunities more accessible for diverse groups and connecting them with high-quality jobs paying more than $15 per hour. Industries of particular promise for this project include tech, infrastructure, health care, and advanced manufacturing.
Over four years, JFF will be working with five lead partners across the U.S.:
- Bitwise Industries, a purpose-driven organization that operates in New York, Wyoming, Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, and California, working to create a more inclusive tech talent pipeline through coding programs for communities that have been underserved by public and private institutions
- Educate Maine, a business-led education advocacy organization supporting Maine's students by championing career readiness
- Goodwill of North Georgia, a 501(c)3 providing job training and employment services to people experiencing career transitions in suburban Atlanta
- JEVS Human Services, a Philadelphia-based nonprofit working to cultivate the talents of people with disabilities and helping them to enter the workforce
- Shenandoah Valley Workforce Development Board, a private nonprofit organization in Virginia providing funds for employment training and placement services
JFF will work with each of the lead partners to develop tools and resources that respond to the needs of the local community, support the development and expansion of regional partnerships, grow employer participation, and explore opportunities to build Registered Apprenticeship programs for young people in emerging industries. As the project progresses, JFF will document the strategies and approaches used and share them with the broader field.
For more information about JFF's work to support the development and expansion of Registered Apprenticeships, visit the Center for Apprenticeship & Work-Based Learning.

Rajasthan government on Monday announced a compensation of Rs 5 lakh each to the kin of the deceased who died in a stampede at Khatushyam temple in Sikar district.
Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has ordered an inquiry into the incident. Divisional Commissioner Vikas Sitaram Bhale will investigate the entire matter.
According to sources, police personnel were not deployed to control the huge crowd on 'Ekadashi'. SP Kunwar Rashtradeep has suspended Khatu SHO Riya Chaudhary for the negligence.
Three women died and four others sustained serious injuries when a stampede broke out at Khatushyam temple in Sikar, Rajasthan on Monday morning.
The accident took place at 5 a.m., when the crowd of devotees had increased significantly for darshan on the occasion of 'Ekadashi'.
It is being said that around one lakh people were present outside the gate at that time. Devotees were in line since Sunday night and as soon as the doors of the temple opened in the morning, the crowd went berserk, resulting in the stampede.
Meanwhile, as the investigation is underway, the district administration has refused to treat the accident as a stampede. Sikar Collector Avichal Chaturvedi said that the accident was reported due to the pressure of the crowd while opening the gate of the entrance. | https://www.ibtimes.co.in/khatushyam-stampede-raj-govt-announces-compensation-kin-deceased-sho-suspended-851181 | 2022-08-08T14:25:27Z | https://www.ibtimes.co.in/khatushyam-stampede-raj-govt-announces-compensation-kin-deceased-sho-suspended-851181 | false | 1 |

Vanguard has long advocated for a multi-manager approach on certain investment strategies, setting advisor allocations based on long-term, strategic targets. Following the transition, the target manager allocations for the $7 billion Global Equity Fund will be as follows: Baillie Gifford, 50%; Wellington Management, 25%; and Pzena, 25%. The investment objective, philosophy, and primary investment strategy of the fund will remain the same, and the expense ratio is not expected to change because of the advisor changes.
Founded in 1975, Vanguard is one of the world's leading investment management companies. The firm offers investments, advice, and retirement services to individual investors, institutions, and financial professionals.

TikToker Says Planet Fitness Refused to Cancel Membership, Costing Her Nearly $3000
Aug. 8 2022, Published 8:19 a.m. ET
50% of Americans purportedly don't know how much they're spending monthly on recurring payments and in the same survey conducted on the subject, 60% said that they had forgotten about at least one recurring payment taking money from out of their accounts, or being charged to one of their credit cards.
When you factor that there are some 214.8 million Americans with debit cards and the Census Bureau's statistics that some 183 million Americans are rocking credit cards, there are potentially hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars being spent and charged erroneously every single month.
What's more, many of these recurring charges, depending on the nature of the purchase and the businesses enacting them, come with their own agreements. For instance: if you're part of a health club or classes, you sign a contract that locks you in for a specific rate for a particular time. Gyms are notorious for this, and one TikToker says that they lost $3,000 to unwanted Planet Fitness recurring charges due to these difficult-to-cancel agreements.
TikToker Tara Rule uploaded a now-viral clip where she discusses the headache, along with a slew of recurring charges billed to her account without her knowledge incurred by popular health club Planet Fitness. Tara says in the video, "If you're seeing this Planet Fitness stole your money too, hunh? I'm gonna tell you how to get it back!"
She continued, "To be clear this is for all y'all like me who have canceled your subscription like a trillion times and have confirmation numbers saying you canceled it and they still continue to bill you or will take a few months off and secretly bill you all that stuff. Even worse for someone like me who's disabled and on disability and only gets $600 a month and they still steal from money from a disabled person? Umm, not good I'm gonna tell you what you can do."
"First off all go in person. And record you interaction with the person, I'll post some of my interactions. First be very friendly. Say hey, is there anyway to get a print out of like all the times I've been here like all my check ins and stuff and they'll say yeah absolutely. Get that."
Throughout the clip, Tara cuts back and forth between her monologue to TikTok viewers and a recorded conversation she had with a Planet Fitness worker.
"Then, ask for a copy of your [original contract] also, get that. Then ask for all your invoices and billing info. And then get that and they will print it all out for you and seem very happy and excited and like you are ready to work out and say thank you and by the way...[this is when the clip cuts to her audio conversation with the Planet Fitness worker]."
"Is there anything additionally I need to do because I've canceled my membership a number of times and it hasn't gone through which is why I'm getting all this so is there anything else I need to do? In person? [The clip cuts back to Tara addressing the camera] Because this time you're gonna be recording them. And then what what we're gonna do is we're gonna file a class action lawsuit against them."
She drives the point further home, "All of us. Or Planet Fitness, if you want to pay me back for all the money you've stolen from me over the years from a disabled person maybe I'll take this video down. Otherwise, let's sue Planet Fitness."
The video then ends on a cut back to her conversation with the Planet Fitness employee who asks: "You wanna cancel it now?" to which Tara responds by saying, "I mean if you wanna cancel it again sure, I've done it a bunch of times in the past but I guess canceling it again can't hurt."
Tons of other users on the platform who saw Tara's post shared Planet Fitness and gym contract horror stories of their own. Multiple people claimed that gyms attempted to consistently bill deceased relatives of theirs despite the fact that they were no longer living.
One even remarked that a Planet Fitness associate said that a person's dead mother would have to come in person to stop billing despite the fact that they were indeed dead.
After Rule went viral, it appears that Planet Fitness higher-ups caught wind of the situation. The Daily Dot reported that Rule live streamed a call with someone who said they were a legal representative of Planet Fitness.
Rule went on to say in the live stream's comments section that employees of the gym were harassing her, but added that she was first able to get her bank to block all future Planet Fitness charges on her account and that we were ultimately given an official cancellation form from Planet Fitness that looked different from all the other ones she had filled out.
The outlet, after reaching out to Planet Fitness for comment, received a statement from representatives of the gym who said, "We never want to charge a member after cancelling/ Reasons can include a member not properly cancelling/only cancelling one of multiple memberships." | https://www.distractify.com/p/planet-fitness-wont-cancel-membership | 2022-08-08T14:33:56Z | https://www.distractify.com/p/planet-fitness-wont-cancel-membership | true | 1 |
Congress MP Pradyut Bordoloi on Monday alleged that India has recorded the world’s highest number of internet shutdowns in the last four years under the NDA government and sought to know whether any legislation is being framed to regulate the suspensions.
Suspending internet services cannot be justified as a solution to law and order challenges and border regions like Jammu and Kashmir and North Eastern states have been particularly susceptible to such blackouts, he said in a letter to Union Communications Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw.
The Nagaon MP claimed that out of 182 internet shutdowns globally in 2021, India alone accounted for 106 and sought to know from Vaishnaw whether the government has taken cognisance of the rise and its ramifications, particularly in terms of economic costs.
A five-day suspension of mobile phone services is currently in force in Manipur, he said. He said as per an independent study by Access Now, a non-profit organisation founded in 2009 with the mission to defend and extend the digital civil rights of people around the world, India recorded the world’s highest number of internet shutdowns for the fourth consecutive year in 2021.
Quoting a study by Software Freedom Law Centre (SFLC), the Lok Sabha member from Assam said India had reported six internet shutdowns in 2014, which rose to over the 100 mark each year after 2018.
SFLC is a donor supported legal services organisation working in matters related to civil liberties, technology laws and intellectual property rights laws. The Congress MP said that the Centre has failed to provide data on internet shutdowns, which has led elected representatives, civil society and others to monitor and document these blackouts.
Some are likely to go unreported. Internet shutdown cannot be justified as a solution to law and order challenges it is a disproportionate, collective punishment that violates human rights and is unacceptable in any democratic society and particularly in an age of digital economy, Bordoloi said.
He asked if any legislation is being framed by the government to regulate internet shutdowns and whether the government intends to create and maintain a centralised repository of data on internet blackouts in the country. | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/politics/congress-mp-questions-increase-in-internet-shutdowns-under-nda-8980051.html | 2022-08-08T14:40:58Z | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/politics/congress-mp-questions-increase-in-internet-shutdowns-under-nda-8980051.html | false | 3 |
Pfizer will spend about $5.4 billion to buy Global Blood Therapeutics as the pharmaceutical giant continues to invest some of the cash influx reaped during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Pfizer said Monday that the acquisition will boost its capabilities in rare hematology. Global Therapeutics makes Oxybryta tablets for treating sickle cell disease.
The latest deal follows Pfizer’s $11.6 billion acquisition of Biohaven, which the companies announced in May, and a $6.7 billion acquisition of Arena Pharmaceuticals announced last December.
Pfizer also announced in April a smaller acquisition to buy the privately held ReViral Ltd., which is developing a treatment for respiratory syncytial virus.
Pfizer Inc.’s top-selling COVID-19 vaccine and treatment have left the New York City drugmaker flush with cash to spend on an acquisition spree. The vaccine and treatment brought in more than $16 billion combined just in the recently completed second quarter.
Pfizer’s vaccine, Comirnaty, rang up nearly $37 billion in sales last year alone, but those sales are expected to fade in a few years. Pfizer also faces over the next decade the loss of patent protection for key products like Eliquis for preventing blood clots and strokes.
The company plans to have about $25 billion in sales by 2030 come from new business developments.
Aamir Malik, the company’s chief business innovation officer, told analysts recently that Pfizer was “leaving very few stones unturned” in looking for expansion opportunities. Malik said Pifzer was looking for deals that will speed up growth in the back half of the decade and can add substantial value either scientifically or commercially.
“I think we’re very excited about the opportunities that are ahead of us and the flexibility that our balance sheet gives us to pursue those,” he said during a call to discuss second-quarter results.
Aside from Oxbryta, Global Blood Therapeutics also is developing some other treatments for sickle cell disease.
Oxbryta sales were about $195 million last year, but Pfizer said it plans to speed up distribution of the drug to parts of the world most impacted by the disease.
Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disorder that can lead to bouts of acute pain and organ damage. It occurs particularly among people of African descent.
Pfizer will pay $68.50 per share in cash for each share of Global Blood Therapeutics. That represents a premium of nearly 43% from the stock’s closing price of $47.99 on Aug. 4, the day before The Wall Street Journal reported that Pfizer was in advanced talks on a deal.
Both companies’ boards have approved the deal, which still needs regulatory approval and approval from GBT shareholders. The companies say the deal could close as soon as the fourth quarter.
Shares of Global Blood Therapeutics Inc., based just outside San Francisco, rose more than 4% to $66.68 before the opening bell. Shares of Pfizer were essentially flat.

By GILLIAN FLACCUS, CLAUDIA LAUER and STEFANIE DAZIO
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Five years after Brian Spaulding’s parents found him fatally shot, his slaying remains a mystery that seems increasingly unlikely to be solved as Portland, Oregon, police confront a spike in killings and more than 100 officer vacancies.
Portland’s homicide rate surged 207% since 2019 and detectives working older cases are now swamped with new ones.
“To us, it’s not a cold case,” said George Spaulding, who has his son’s signature tattooed on his arm. “We’re not dissatisfied with the Police Bureau because I think they’re doing the best they can,” he said. “They are just overwhelmed. It’s insane.”
From Philadelphia to Portland to Los Angeles, killings and gun violence are rising at the same time officers worn out by the pandemic and disillusioned over the calls to divest from policing are quitting or retiring faster than they can be replaced.
Departments are scrambling to recruit in a tight labor market and also rethinking what services they can provide. Many have shifted veteran officers to patrol, breaking up specialized teams to keep up with 911 calls.
“We’re getting more calls for service and there are fewer people to answer them,” said Philadelphia Police spokesperson Eric Gripp, whose department has been rotating employees from specialty units to increase patrols.
“Departments all over are down and recruitment has been difficult.”
Los Angeles, which is down more than 650 officers from its pre-pandemic staffing, shuttered its animal cruelty unit and downsized its human trafficking, narcotics and gun details and reduced its homeless outreach teams by 80%. Seattle recently announced $2 million in hiring bonuses and benefits to lure recruits amid a critical officer shortage.
“For me, I wonder, what the profession is going to be 20 years from now if we’re having these challenges on a nationwide scale. Are we going to be able to recruit enough people to serve our cities?” asked Portland Police Chief Chuck Lovell, whose force has lost 237 sworn officers through retirements or resignations since 2020.
Portland logged a record 89 homicides last year — roughly three times its historical average — and is on pace to top that this year after already tallying more than 50. A report completed for the city last month by the California Partnership for Safe Communities found 75% of homicides in 2020 were by gun. The city has seen nearly 800 shootings this year.
That follows a national trend. While non-violent crime decreased during the pandemic, the murder rate increased nearly 30% in 2020 and the rate of assaults went up 10%, according to the Brennan Center for Justice.
It’s unclear what’s driving the surge, but COVID-19 created huge social disruption and upended government and community support systems. Gun sales also spiked during the pandemic.
Experts say widely cited theories that violent crime is worse in places that changed policing tactics in the wake of protests over Floyd’s murder don’t bear out. Violent crime has increased in red and blue communities alike, regardless of their approach.
“There’s a lot of evidence that something bigger is going on than the social justice protests that happened, and it’s probably more than one thing,” said Ben Struhl, executive director of the Crime and Justice Policy Lab at the University of Pennsylvania.
Jeremiah King, who is transitioning out of homelessness, was shot while trying to protect a friend in Portland who was being attacked just a short walk from the city’s business district.
“I didn’t feel anything at first but 10 seconds later I could hardly breathe,” King said after three nights in the hospital. “I thought I was going to pass away.”
To address the violence, Portland’s police chief broke up specialized units to bolster patrol numbers and moved detectives from assault, cold case and gun violence units to his homicide squad. That effectively stopped investigations into about 300 unsolved slayings.
Brian Spaulding’s parents now must consider the possibility that one day no one will be assigned to their son’s case.
“I keep thinking that with all of the gun violence that’s going on, they might be able to get a gun that matches the gun that killed Brian,” said Carolyn Spaulding.
But what law enforcement says is a staffing crisis could actually be a case of misdirected resources, said Christy Lopez, co-director of Georgetown Law School’s Center for Innovations in Community Safety.
In some departments, police have sworn in new recruits this year, although the numbers aren’t keeping up with attrition, they say.
“You really can’t take it at face value when a department says you need more police officers. You need to look at a staffing audit: ‘What are your police officers doing? What are they unable to do?’ It might mean that you actually need another Boys and Girls Club, not more officers,” she said.
Some have celebrated the downsizing, including homeless advocates in Los Angeles, where four out of five homeless outreach teams were disbanded.
“Police should be nowhere around outreach. You can’t be the provider of services as well as the jailer,” said Pete White, the founder and executive director of the Los Angeles Community Action Network.
Still many others are fed up with perceived lack of action by police.
In Philadelphia, where the department is down 550 officers from pre-pandemic staffing and another 860 are on medical leave or restricted duty, City Councilwoman Maria Quiñones-Sánchez said there are more than 30,000 backlogged police complaints about abandoned cars.
Officers normally assigned to a unit dealing with neighborhood issues have been shifted to violent hot spots, where the homicide rate reached a record high last year.
The abandoned cars bring “trash in the areas, then you know other crimes, quality of life issues, drug dealing, shootings, killings,” said Kimberly Washington, executive director of the Frankford Community Development Corporation. “This starts to look like the place where this can all go down because no one cares.”
Royal Harris knows what that’s like.
Growing up in Portland’s gang territory in the 1990s, his brother, two first cousins, two second cousins and numerous friends were shot to death — and many of those cases remain unsolved.
Harris supports the temporary shut-down of the city’s cold case unit if it means police can close fresh cases, even though it takes resources from solving his own loved ones’ slayings.
“Under the current climate, somebody’s going to feel cheated and we have to be honest with that. The question is, who do we cheat?” he said. “These hard decisions (have) to be made to stop this.”

FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — A vegan mother who said she and her family followed a strict diet of only raw fruits and vegetables faced sentencing on Monday in the malnutrition death of her 18-month-old son.
Sheila O'Leary, 38, was convicted in June on six charges — first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter, child abuse and two counts of child neglect — in the death of Ezra O'Leary. A hearing is set for Monday afternoon in Lee County, Florida.
O'Leary and husband Ryan Patrick O’Leary, who faces trial on the same charges this month, told investigators that the toddler also had been fed breast milk. The boy weighed just 17 pounds (8 kilograms) and was the size of a seven month old baby, a police report said.
“This child did not eat. He was starved to death over 18 months,” Francine Donnorummo, the special victims unit chief at the Lee County State Attorney’s Office, said during the trial.
The couple had two other children, ages 3 and 5, who also were malnourished, investigators said. A fourth child had been returned to her biological father during an earlier malnutrition case in Virginia, court records show.
Her lawyer showed pictures of O'Leary with one of her children during the trial, seeking to show she never intended to harm them.
“Does that look like a mom who wants to kill her kid?” attorney Lee Hollander said. “Just because it happened doesn’t mean she committed a crime.”
Hollander has requested a new trial, saying “errors" led to her conviction. If that motion is granted, she said she wants a new lawyer, telling the judge in July that her attorney didn't defend her the way she wanted him to. | https://www.lmtonline.com/news/article/Vegan-Florida-mom-faces-sentence-in-starvation-17358718.php | 2022-08-08T14:54:49Z | https://www.lmtonline.com/news/article/Vegan-Florida-mom-faces-sentence-in-starvation-17358718.php | true | 28 |
COLUMBIA, Md., Aug. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- GSE Systems, Inc. ("GSE Solutions®" or "GSE" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: GVP) a leader in advanced engineering and workforce solutions that support the future of clean energy production and decarbonization initiatives of the power industry, today announced the release of a new software module for its leading TSM Enterprise™ platform, focused on reducing costs of Engineering Programs at power generation facilities.
GSE's TSM Enterprise software is a web-based thermal system monitoring and engineering programs platform for power generation plants that improve plant efficiency, save operational resources and money, and increase reliability. The platform has been proven to generate significant cost savings with pilot programs at several well-known U.S. nuclear facilities and is under consideration for several fossil and combined-cycle applications, including carbon capture analysis, boiler optimizations, and fuel-to-power studies.
The latest module helps organizations further reduce operational costs associated with Engineering Programs and compliance requirements. Specifically, the module automates complex tasks and applies expert rules to analyze plant data from multiple sources to provide recommendations to the Program Owners. Those recommendations help customers identify issues needing further investigation and optimize inspection scope (evaluating risks and costs).
"Expanding the TSM Enterprise software platform provides our customers with new tools to reduce costs while ensuring programmatic compliance," said Don Horn, President of GSE's Engineering division. "For years, our experts have been helping customers with their Engineering Programs and compliance requirements, signaling the need for automated, online tools to optimize customer activities. Our deep and well-recognized expertise in these areas allowed us to build these tools to help address the challenging environment our customers are facing both the pressure to reduce operations costs and declining expert resources to decipher the complex set of rules and regulations."
"The combination of our expert engineering teams and unique software platform allows us to bring new software and service solutions to help clients optimize their activities, increase efficiencies and support clean power initiatives," concluded Kyle Loudermilk, President and CEO, GSE Solutions. "GSE is constantly in communication with customers and adding more solutions to help making their jobs easier and as efficient as possible."
GSE is attending ANS UWC this week, and company representatives are available to discuss the TSM Enterprise module and real-world results. The Utility Working Conference and Technology Expo (UWC) is an annual meeting of leading utility industry players that consistently generates strong, practical recommendations designed to address the industry's most pressing needs. The focus of the 2022 UWC is to analyze cost drivers common to all nuclear power plants and recommend programs and processes to improve their efficiency and effectiveness and to provide innovative solutions that enable a significant reduction in operating expenses. The American Nuclear Society (ANS) is the premier organization for those that embrace the nuclear sciences and technologies for their vital contributions to improving people's lives and preserving the planet.

Though the global cannabis market continues to expand, stalling legislation in the US has contributed to the underperformance of key holdings — such as Canopy Growth, Tilray and Cronos — in the ETFMG Alternative Harvest ETF. The fund has lost close to half of its value in the year-to-date but is performing better than its peers, as investors revaluate the future for the industry.
The ETFMG Alternative Harvest ETF [MJ] has performed poorly so far in 2022, despite the global market for cannabis showing signs of strong growth. Cannabis shares have underperformed in the year-to-date as US federal legislation stalls and market conditions are reassessed.
The ETFMG Alternative Harvest EFT targets global cannabis companies that are well exposed to growth in medicinal and recreational industries around the world.
As of 5 August close, the fund has lost 44.6% since the turn of the year and seen its value slashed by 64.4% in the past 12 months. The ETF’s holdings have been hurt by concerns that companies have been starved of funding and potential sales as state legislatures slow. So far in 2022, only Rhode Island has legalised recreational use.
In comparison, the Global X Cannabis ETF [POTX] has seen a 71.1% decline in valuation in the past 12 months to 5 August. The downbeat performance highlights how souring investor sentiment has been an industry-wide trend.
Competition intensifies for Cronos, Tilray and Canopy
The ETFMG Alternative Harvest ETF has a total of 41 holdings, with its largest stake being in Cronos Group [CRON], which accounts for 8.94% of the fund’s total assets. This is closely followed by Tilray [TLRY] (8.1%) and Canopy Growth [WEED] (5.27%).
Toronto-based cannabinoid company Cronos Group has seen its share price fall 52% in the past 12 months (through 5 August) as the cannabis industry has struggled. The company, however, announced a strong quarter for sales in the first quarter of the year. Net revenue for Q1 rose to $25m — nearly double the $12.6m recorded in the first three months of 2021.
Operating expenses only rose to $43m for the quarter from $42.2m the year before, despite the considerable expansion in operations. As a result, while the company still made a net loss of $32.6m for the quarter, it was an improvement on the $161.6m loss in the same period of 2021.
Tilray Brands, the fund’s second-largest holding, has also had a difficult year, with the stock down 72.1% in the past 12 months to 5 August. While revenue for the year ending 31 May rose 22% to $628.4m, the company made a considerable net loss of £434m for the year — higher than the £336m loss the year before. The company included an impairment charge of $395m, which was said to be “related to changes in market opportunities” as hopes for further cannabis legalisation fade.
Canopy Growth shares, meanwhile, have been slashed 85.2% in the past year. The company recorded a decline in revenue in its results released on 5 August as competition in the industry increased, and also took on an impairment charge of CA$1.72bn as the company also reassessed future market conditions.
Outlook weakens as legalisation hopes stall
The cannabis industry has seen an incredible transformation in the past decade, with the global market worth an estimated $37.4bn in 2021, according to cannabis analytics firm Prohibition Partners. While this growth is continuing and most companies are seeing a rise in revenues, the industry’s future remains heavily reliant on laws outside the control of companies.
Investors had hoped for a quick US federal legalisation after the Democrats took control of the Senate. However, the party has since failed to gain support in the Senate and hopes for a quick US legalisation have faded. The party’s Safe and Fair Enforcement Banking Act, which would allow banks to loan to cannabis companies without receiving penalties, has also failed to gain support. This had led investors to revaluate the future for the industry and the shares that the fund holds.
There are other challenges facing the industry that could dent future performance of the ETFMG Alternative Harvest ETF. A high inflationary environment is contributing to growing operating costs for an industry where most companies are already making a loss. Alongside this, rising interest rates have shifted investors away from high-growth sectors as alternative investments yield higher returns.

Water crisis looms for eastern Ukrainian city of Sloviansk
By JUSTIN SPIKE
Associated Press
SLOVIANSK, Ukraine (AP) — The echo of artillery shells thundering in the distance mingles with the din of people gathered around Sloviansk’s public water pumps, piercing the uneasy quiet that smothers the nearly deserted streets of this eastern Ukrainian city.
The members of Sloviansk’s dwindling population only emerge — a few minutes at a time — to fill up at the pumps that have been the city’s only water source for more than two months. Fighting between Ukrainian and Russian forces near the key city in the Donetsk region has damaged vital infrastructure that has cut residents off from gas and water for months.
The water flows for now, but fears grow that come winter the city only seven miles (12 kilometers) from Russian-occupied territory could face a humanitarian crisis once the pipes begin to freeze over.
“The water infrastructure was destroyed by the constant battles,” said Lyubov Mahlii, a 76-year-old widow who gathers 20 liters (around five gallons) of water twice a day from a public tank near her apartment, dragging the plastic bottles up four flights of stairs on her own.
“When there are bombings and sirens, we keep carrying it,” she said on Sunday. “It’s a great risk for us, but what can we do?”
Only a fifth of the city’s pre-invasion population of 100,000 remains. With heavy fighting raging only miles away as Russian forces continue their push on Donetsk — part of the industrial Donbas region where Moscow-backed separatists have been battling Ukrainian troops since 2014 — residents defy the shelling to make do with the only water source left. And local officials believe things will only get worse once the cold sets in.
Locals fill their bottles with hand pumps or from plastic tanks at one of five public wells before hauling them home in bicycle baskets, wheeled carts and even children’s strollers.
Speaking from her tidy kitchen after one such trip, Mahlii said she boils some water for at least 15 minutes to make sure it’s safe for consumption. The remainder is used for bathing, washing clothes and dishes, watering plants and taking care of a stray dog named Chapa.
Following the death of her husband, Nikolai, from diabetes four years ago, Mahlii shares her Soviet government-provided apartment with two bright yellow canaries and an assortment of houseplants.
Water she had gathered filled the plastic tubs and buckets stacked on every flat surface in her small bathroom, while empty plastic bottles lined the walls in her hallway. A meat and vegetable soup was cooking on an electric burner for lunch.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy issued a mandatory evacuation order to all residents of the Donetsk region at the end of July, saying remaining would cost lives. But despite that and the terror that accompanies the shriek of falling rockets near the city, with no money to relocate and nowhere to go, Mahlii plans to stay in Sloviansk — no matter what.
“I don’t want to leave my apartment because someone else might occupy it,” she said. “I don’t want to leave. I will die here.”
Another Sloviansk resident, Ninel Kyslovska, 75, gathered water from a tank at a park on Sunday for marinating cucumbers in the sun that afternoon. She said the scarcity had upended all aspects of her life.
“Without water, you won’t get anywhere. I have to carry 60, 80, 100 liters of water a day and it’s still not enough,” she said. “Bread and water are sacred and they just took it from people. Such actions must be punished, maybe not by us, but hopefully by God’s judgment.”
Filling her bottles, Kyslovska said she sometimes avoids bathing to save herself a trip to the park, and often washes her clothing in a nearby lake.
She blamed the local government for the lack of running water, complaining that nearby Kramatorsk — just six miles (10 kilometers) to the south — still had water flowing from its taps.
But Oleksandr Goncharenko, the head of Kramatorsk’s military administration, said even that comparative luxury was threatened by winter, when the temperature drops to -20 C (-4 F).
“All these wells and pumps will freeze,” Goncharenko said, adding that places like Sloviansk and Kramatorsk — which also has no gas — had become “hostages of destroyed infrastructure.”
Goncharenko said Kramatorsk would drain municipal pipes that run into unheated structures to prevent them from freezing and bursting, and that he was “99% certain” that gas wouldn’t be restored before winter. Electricity cuts and the lack of heating could also see the fire risk soar as people try to heat and light their homes by other means, he added.
Ukrainian officials are still trying to convince the Donetsk region’s remaining residents to evacuate as the war’s front line threatens to move westward and the inhospitable winter looms.
Officials in Kramatorsk plan to build more public wells to supply the remaining population, but Goncharenko warned the water quality couldn’t be guaranteed. Such water would likely be sourced from deep underground, he said, which would be too high in calcium and unfit for drinking.
Mahlii hasn’t made plans for what she’ll do once cold weather arrives, but after 47 years in her Sloviansk apartment, she will face whatever comes from her home.
“We are surviving!” she said. “We are surviving by any means.”

LORTON, Va., Aug. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Covanta, a leader in sustainable materials management and a premier provider of environmental solutions for businesses and communities, announced that the Covanta Fairfax Waste-to-Energy facility recently completed planned enhancements to its state-of-the-art pollution control technology aimed at further reducing nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions, thereby helping to further protect the environment.
Located in Fairfax, Va., the Waste-to-Energy facility serves approximately 1,200,000 residents and businesses in Fairfax County by taking non-hazardous household waste otherwise destined for landfill, combusting it at high temperatures and generating steam for renewable electricity production. While more than 99.98% of what comes out of the stack is what is typically found in air – water vapor, oxygen, carbon dioxide – Covanta works tirelessly to ensure the other elements remain well below federal and state allowable limits.
With installation of its proprietary Low NOx (LN) technology now complete, nitrogen oxide emissions have been reduced by nearly 50 percent. The effort was part of a multi-year project at Covanta Fairfax.
"Covanta is committed every day to managing our services and facilities in a way that prioritizes our communities, our local businesses and our planet," said Don Cammarata, area asset manager at Covanta Fairfax. "The completion of the Low NOx technology installation at Covanta Fairfax is just the latest stride in our ongoing commitment to reduce our environmental impact and improve air quality in the communities in which we operate and which we call home."
The Low NOx technology is unique within the industry and demonstrates Covanta's dedication to investment in research and development to provide superior environmental performance.
"We are pleased with Covanta's efforts to improve the emissions from the facility while simultaneously managing the waste our residents and businesses generate each year," said Eric Forbes, of Fairfax County's Department of Public Works.
Through its mission of keeping waste out of landfills, Covanta Fairfax reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 1,208,000 tons of carbon dioxide, similar in impact to taking 236,000 passenger vehicles off the road for one year. The facility produces 80 megawatts of renewable electricity 24 hours a day, 7 days a week; enough to power 67,000 homes for a year.
About Covanta
Covanta is a leader in sustainable materials management providing environmental solutions to businesses and communities across North America. Through its network of facilities and state-of-the-art services, Covanta is a single-source partner in solving today's most complex environmental challenges. For more information, visit covanta.com.

Grieving mother went off rails after her son's beach death
- Credit: Archant
A grieving mum launched a paint and hammer attack on her neighbours after her son was found dead on a beach.
A court heard there had been tensions with the neighbours in the build up to the offences over a number of sensitive issues that police were aware of.
But Elaine Sharpe snapped when she was suffering with 'immeasurable trauma' when she took a hammer and a can of pink paint and attacked a car and the house windows in Exmouth, in April.
Exeter magistrates court she caused £3,000 of damage to the car, which she also smashed with the hammer, and the house and it was all caught on a doorbell camera.
Five days later Sharpe, of Exmouth, returned to the property and screamed a tirade of abuse at her neighbours - and that was all caught on CCTV.
When police arrived, she headbutted an officer on his lip.
Prosecutor Warjinder Bains said she smashed windows and lights on Andrew Green's car which she splattered with the paint causing £1,300 damage, and then smashed his dad David's windows at their home.

Katrina Byrne, defending, said Sharpe was devastated to be in court adding there were a number of sensitivities in this case.
"Shortly before the criminal damage offences were committed her son who was 29 had been found deceased on Exmouth beach and there is no cause of death.
"There was an ongoing neighbour dispute and a lot of emotions on the day when the offences were committed," said the lawyer.
"She has reacted badly. It was unacceptable behaviour and she is apologetic for the way she behaved, she added.
"It was a time of unimaginable trauma for her," probation officer Alan Olley added.
Grandmother Sharpe, aged 52, of Brimpenny Road, Exmouth, admitted two criminal damage charges, assaulting a policeman and using threatening behaviour with intent to cause fear or provoke unlawful violence.
The magistrates gave her a 12 month community order with 15 days of rehabilitation activities and ordered her to pay £600 compensation to the Greens and the police officer.
Magistrate Hilary Drew said: "You have shown a lot of remorse. It was an exceptionally hard time for you." | https://www.exmouthjournal.co.uk/news/exmouth-mum-off-the-rails-9196452 | 2022-08-08T15:16:16Z | https://www.exmouthjournal.co.uk/news/exmouth-mum-off-the-rails-9196452 | true | 1 |

When Lenny Cabrera left the Dominican Republic for Canada in 2016, she knew two things: she was ready for a fresh start and she wanted to own her own business.
The Caribbean island of the Dominican Republic is known for its tropical climate and picturesque, white-sand beaches, and Lenny’s new Canadian friends assumed she’d spent a lot of time sipping margaritas on the beach.
Her reality had looked much different, though.
“I hadn’t been to the beach for 18 months before I arrived,” Lenny admits.
As a corporate lawyer in the Dominican Republic, the 33-year-old served as legal counsel for brands including Kentucky Fried Chicken, TGI Fridays and Mango clothing. She was deeply involved with their marketing, branding, staffing and legal policies, and loved watching the brands develop and grow.
“I moved to British Columbia knowing that my endgame was to buy or develop a business,” she says.
She didn’t know the exact nature of the business, but she was young, ambitious and driven.
Six years since stepping off the plane in Vancouver, Lenny is the proud co-owner of a swanky salon in a prime location in Kelowna. The Sweet Spot Beauty Bar opened nine months ago on Lakeshore Road across from Gyro Beach, with 2,300 square feet of pedicure bowls, nail stations, massage and facial treatment rooms, a lash and eyebrow station and a hair station. Clients can order pastries, muffins and snacks during their treatments, and as a fully licensed bar they can also enjoy cocktails, wine and beer.
The idea for The Sweet Spot began during the COVID-19 pandemic. Lenny had met her business partner, Alicia Jameson, soon after arriving in Kelowna in 2017. At the time, Alicia was an aesthetician who dreamed of opening her own salon, but didn’t want to embark on the business alone. One night, as the two women shared a bottle of wine, she mentioned her dream to Lenny, and suggested they give it a go.
Lenny loved the idea and the two immediately began brainstorming, planning, writing their business plan and securing financing to bring the idea to reality. Lenny recalled her spa experiences in the Dominican, where wine or cocktails during a pedicure was a standard treat and part of the pleasure of unwinding at the end of a busy work week. She wanted her clients at The Sweet Spot to enjoy the same libations.
“We wanted a beauty bar that was a one-stop shop, a place where people could wind down with good quality service and a glass of wine for a girls’ night out or a fun couples experience.”
Step inside the beauty bar and you’re enveloped by shades of peach and pink. Plush cushions and comfy seating entice clients to the pedicure bowls, and a wall of pink flowers separates the nail bars from the treatment rooms and lash stations. The wide array of services on offer includes manicures, pedicures, nail extensions, nail art, eyebrow shaping, eyebrow tinting, eyelash extensions, eyelash tinting, body waxing, face waxing, facials and massages. The space is inviting, relaxing, luxurious and designed with sharp attention to every small detail.
Lenny and Alicia remain equal partners deeply committed to The Sweet Spot’s success and optimistic about the future. While Lenny handles the finances, Alicia oversees training and service procedures. Each brings individual strengths that combine to make the business flourish.
“Wedding season is coming and our bookings are ramping up with tourists to Kelowna, bachelorette parties and brides’ days of pampering before their nuptials,” Lenny says. “During the winter the local community showed their support and we worked hard at introducing our new business through social media.”
“It’s a new business and it’s not perfect,” she reflects. “If anyone asked me what it’s like to be an entrepreneur, I’d say, buckle up, because it comes with growing pains, a lot of work and many issues that are beyond our control. The business is still in its early stages and I don’t think I’ll be able to relax until it becomes an icon in the Kelowna community. But I’ve never had any doubt that Alicia and I could pull this off. I’m happy and proud of what we’ve achieved so far, and right now, the future is looking pretty bright!”

Zoe, in the message, requested her singer dad to buy her some fashion item which she said was meant for her face and teeth.
She gave the item's price to the tune of N96k when converted to Pounds from Naira. A stunned Timi could only tell she didn’t need them as he urged her to take her bath instead.
"You better teach her manners”: Displeased fans lambast Beauty's brother as he speaks on disqualification

Leaders at these companies put their people first, and in return, achieve stronger business results than the average workplace."

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has left Taiwan. Though the California Democrat didn’t stay long, less than 24 hours, the fallout from her visit plunges the Biden administration into a tricky — and arguably unnecessary — period of brinkmanship with China.
In her meeting with Taiwan’s president, Tsai Ing-wen, Pelosi didn’t say anything America hasn’t said before about Taiwan, China and democracy. “Today the world faces a choice between democracy and autocracy,” the speaker said. “America’s determination to preserve democracy here in Taiwan and around the world remains ironclad.”
Equally unsurprising was Pelosi’s desire to make the trip. In her 35 years in Congress, she has built a reputation as one of Washington’s staunchest critics of China’s disregard for human rights.
In 1989, she spearheaded a House resolution condemning Beijing’s massacre of student demonstrators around Tiananmen Square. Two years later, she went to Beijing and infuriated Chinese Communist Party leaders by displaying a banner in Tiananmen Square with the words, “To Those Who Died for Democracy in China.” Over the years, she has spoken out strongly against China’s policies toward Tibet and Hong Kong.
All commendable stances. Nevertheless, timing in geopolitics matters, and this was far from the right time for a trip to Taipei. It stokes a new, precarious crisis for the Biden administration at a moment when the president is careening between other crises — from a flagging economy and doubts about his party’s outlook in the midterm elections to Vladimir Putin’s five-month war in Ukraine.
China has reacted predictably to Pelosi’s excursion, with fiery denunciations and pledges to assert itself militarily in the Taiwan Strait and around the island with live-ammunition exercises. Those drills are slated to begin Thursday, and they could prompt Taiwan to mobilize its forces. It puts both sides on the edge of direct conflict and forces the U.S. to consider what it would do to back up its longtime promise that it would defend Taiwan against military aggression from Beijing.
The U.S. has been here before. In 1995, China was incensed by President Bill Clinton’s decision to invite Taiwan’s president at the time, Lee Teng-hui, to visit the U.S. The crisis rolled into 1996, when China’s firing of missiles near Taiwan’s main island prompted Clinton to send U.S. aircraft carriers to the Taiwan Strait. Ultimately, China backed down.
Today, China is demonstrably stronger, militarily and economically. But domestically, it’s a sensitive time for Chinese President Xi Jinping. This fall, the party will have to decide whether Xi gets an unprecedented third term. While he needs to project unyielding strength and defiance in the wake of Pelosi’s visit, he can’t afford to launch China into a full-blown standoff that derails what’s left of global stability and his own country’s economy.
Xi’s best course to take is to not overreact. Pelosi’s visit doesn’t signal any kind of divergence from America’s long-standing “one China” policy, which holds that the U.S. recognizes the Beijing regime as China’s only legal government but merely acknowledges Beijing’s stance that Taiwan is part of China without endorsing it outright.
That policy doesn’t prevent Washington from selling arms to the Taiwanese government so that it can defend itself. It doesn’t stop the U.S. from having robust trade relations with Taiwan, home to the world’s most critical source of advanced microchips. And of course, it doesn’t prevent American political powerhouses such as Pelosi from visiting Taiwan.
Ramping down the temperature in the Taiwan Strait necessitates the Biden team conveying to Beijing that the “one China” policy remains the guiding principle behind Sino-U.S. relations. Also pivotal: Washington must allay concerns from America’s other Asian allies — Japan, South Korea and Australia, for example — that have been rattled by China’s belligerence in response to Pelosi’s visit. Those allies represent a vital economic and strategic counterpoint to Beijing in the region, and they need reassurance that Biden will keep this latest crisis from burgeoning into something far worse.
So much of what happens next rides on Xi’s actions. He could choose this moment as a springboard for achieving China’s long-standing goal of reunifying Taiwan with Beijing — but through military force. That would be a grave mistake, since it would force the U.S. to equip Taiwan with enough firepower to defend itself. De-escalation is the best and only choice for all entities involved, and Washington should make it a top priority to engineer that cool-down. | https://www.postguam.com/forum/nancy-pelosi-departs-taiwan-and-leaves-behind-a-precarious-crisis/article_d75038d2-16d6-11ed-9a6d-c3e71e16f368.html | 2022-08-08T15:20:25Z | https://www.postguam.com/forum/nancy-pelosi-departs-taiwan-and-leaves-behind-a-precarious-crisis/article_d75038d2-16d6-11ed-9a6d-c3e71e16f368.html | false | 5 |
Since the Highway Patrol and speed traps have all but disappeared, the speed limit is now just the “suggested speed.”
I know this for a fact. When on a driving test recently, I was going 30 in a 35 mph zone. The “observer” said, “Why don’t you speed up a little.” I did. I told her. “I always try to go at the speed limit.” She said, “Good.”
The speed limit may now have become the suggested speed, but the ten commandments are not the “ten suggestions.” They are still commandments!
We may be speeding in life and not getting ticketed, but when we sin, we still need to repent and change.

For highly endangered North Atlantic right whales, offshore wind brings a lot of unknowns
The race is on to get offshore wind farms built off the U.S. East Coast, and North Carolina is one of the leading states with three projects planned for the Tar Heel Coast — two roughly 20 miles south of Bald Head Island in Brunswick County and one, which will be built first, about 27 miles off Kitty Hawk on the Outer Banks.
And they might not be the last for the state's coastal waters. While visiting a National Governors Association event in Wilmington last month, Gov. Roy Cooper was asked if he'd support more offshore wind built off the N.C. coast.
"Absolutely," he responded emphatically.
The North Carolina wind projects join other wind farms planned for the coastal waters of New England, New York, New Jersey, and Virginia as federal and state officials aggressively push to decarbonize their economies by replacing dirty fossil fuel-burning power plants with renewable energy sources. Eventually, officials are hoping to see thousands of wind turbines dotting the waters just off the East Coast, with many going up this decade.

Last of the Right Whales:Documentary captures footage of endangered right whales
But off the coast another race is on, and the outlook for the North Atlantic right whale is much less clear than the bright future for offshore wind. This one involves the survival of a species that has been decimated by man, with some worried a push to try and fix one manmade environmental problem — an atmosphere full of greenhouse gases — could create new problems for the right whale.
“We need to develop offshore wind as a clean energy source, but we need to do it right," said Dr. Andrew Read, a marine biologist at Duke University and director of the school's marine lab. "But with right whales, we’re going to have to learn as we go.”
Many of the offshore zones planned for the East Coast's wind farms are areas known to be frequented by the whales, which generally stick to within 30 miles of shore. And the marine mammal, a favorite target of 19th-century whalers, is on the brink of extinction.
The whale's population now stands at 336 individuals, down from 500 in 2010, said Dr. Bill McLellan, a marine mammal expert who co-lead the UNCW Marine Mammal Stranding Program before his retirement. Within that population, there are only 80 reproductive females. That makes the single loss of a whale, especially a breeding female, cause for concern.
BOY SHORTAGE:NC sea turtle nests could be producing fewer males. Here's why that's a huge problem.
“We know the numbers are precise and we know the population is in decline,” McLellan said at the North Carolina Offshore Wind and Wildlife Solutions Summit last month. The event, held in Wilmington and hosted by several environmental groups, brought a variety of experts together to discuss the best ways to move forward toward responsible offshore wind development.
Uncharted waters
While offshore wind might be new to U.S. coastal waters, wind farms have been providing clean, renewable energy for decades in Europe, with more than 5,000 turbines in the waters around Europe. But environmental studies tied to those operations don't cover impacts to large, migratory whales.
Historically since the decline of the whaling industry, the biggest threats to the whales have been ship strikes and entanglements with fishing gear.
Read said those hazards, to some degree, can be mitigated by regulations, increased enforcement and educational outreach efforts.
“But the bigger question is what will happen when we have a lot of turbines installed and will it affect the migratory behavior of these animals, and I don’t think anyone knows the answer to that question," he said.
Right whales migrate along the East Coast, including off North Carolina, as they move between their summer range off Canada and New England and their winter calving grounds off the Southeastern U.S.
Climate change is another wild card for scientists and regulators as they look to create conditions to allow the wind farms and right whales to co-exist in the same stretch of ocean.

While the warming of the planet due to man pumping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere is driving the push to adopt clean renewable energy sources like offshore wind, climate change is also having impacts on the right whales.
Read said waters in the Gulf of Maine, where the right whales spend their summer, has warmed, creating less favorable conditions for the whale's favorite food, zooplankton. That's prompted the zooplankton to move north into Canada's Gulf of St. Lawrence, and the whales have followed.
But, Read said, that's also lead to increased ship strikes and whale interactions with fishing gear in Canadian waters.
"Animals will go where the food is, and the food moved northward," Read said, adding that the whales don't seem to have moved their winter calving grounds northward due to the warming ocean so far.
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), there have been 51 "documented dead or serious injuries" involving North Atlantic right whales since 2017 — and the federal agency says "only about one-third of right whale deaths are documented." During that same time frame, NOAA said only 57 new calves were recorded.
'I'm optimistic'
Offshore wind supporters don't deny that interactions between the turbines, both during construction and operation, and right whales are a very real possibility.
But they stress that everyone is on board to do the right thing to try and limit impacts, including noise pollution, on the highly endangered marine mammals.
"This is not an industry that’s out there to make money at all costs," said Katharine Kollins, president of the Southeastern Wind Coalition, a nonprofit that advocates for wind energy development in the Southeastern U.S. "People don’t get involved with offshore wind for just one reason."
The federal government also is working to ease the impacts of the wind farms on the whales. In February the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) announced new multi-agency efforts to track and study the right whales, especially in areas planned for wind farms. BOEM also removed some areas from the initial lease areas proposed south of Brunswick County to reduce potential whale-industry impacts. Duke Energy and France-based TotalEnergies won the May auction for those two blocks, paying roughly $315 million between them to develop the two adjacent sites that cover nearly 110,000 acres.
Speakers at last month's conference in Wilmington also mentioned that several federal agencies, including the U.S. Department of Defense, are actively engaged in supporting North Atlantic right whale research, something that's expected to increase as more of the East Coast's wind farms come closer to fruition.
But will it be enough to protect the whales as thousands of offshore wind turbines move closer to installation in the migratory path of the whales, especially with a recent deal on battling climate change reached between President Biden and Democratic U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia potentially opening up more areas of the East Coast for offshore wind development? North Carolina is currently the southernmost state with planned wind farms.
Read, for one, is hopeful.
"I'm optimistic because we have time and research efforts are underway," he said. "We have time to plan and we have the resources and the know-how, so let’s just do this in a smart and careful way.”

Last woman convicted during Salem witch trials exonerated
(CNN) - It took more than 300 years, but the last woman convicted during the Salem witch trials has been exonerated.
The name of Elizabeth Johnson Jr. is now cleared, thanks to the effort of an area teacher and her eighth-grade civics class.
Johnson was accused of witchcraft in 1692, one of more than 200 other women and men in Salem. Eventually, 19 were hanged while four others died in prison.
Johnson was to be executed at age 22, but her life was spared by the governor at the time.
Teacher Carrie LaPierre took note of Johnson’s case after reading other accused names had been cleared but Johnson’s hadn’t.
Over the last few years, LaPierre’s eighth graders petitioned state lawmakers and just recently were successful in getting an amendment attached to the state budget.
The amendment adds Johnson’s name to an existing 1957 resolution that exonerates other “witches.”

National average price of gas expected to dip under $4
(Gray News) – The nation’s average price of gas continues to fall for the eighth week in a row and is expected to dip just below $4 Monday.
According to GasBuddy.com, the national average fell 15.8 cents from a week ago and is down 68.7 cents from a month ago.
“The national average is poised to fall back under $4 per gallon as early as today as we see the decline in gas prices enter its eighth straight week. By the end of the week, 100,000 stations will be at $3.99 or less,” Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy said in a statement.
De Haan also said there are nearly a dozen of stations in low-priced states that have gas for under $2.99 a gallon.
“While I’m upbeat the drop can continue for another couple weeks, we’re starting to see some activity in the tropics, which may increase risk of potential disruption,” De Haan added.

Birth rates in the United States are near record lows, but not for everyone.
Under the surface of the fertility decline is a little-noticed fact: Births have declined much more among nonreligious Americans than among the devout.
Data from the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) from 1982 to 2019, along with data from four waves of the Demographic Intelligence Family Survey (DIFS) from 2020 to 2022, point to a widening gap in fertility rates between more religious and less religious Americans.
In recent years, the fertility gap by religion has widened to unprecedented levels. But while this difference may comfort some of the faithful who hope higher fertility rates will ultimately yield stable membership in churches and synagogues, these hopes may be in vain. Rates of conversion into unfaith are too high, and fertility rates too low, to yield stable religious populations.
Past religious fertility
Since 1982, the NSFG has asked respondents about their religious attendance and their recent fertility history. In recent years, it has operated as a continuous annual survey.
As a result, data from over 70,000 women surveyed from 1982 to as recently as 2019 can be used to estimate fertility rates for three broad groups of women: those without any religious affiliation, those with religious affiliation but less than weekly attendance, and those with at least weekly attendance.
Total fertility rates are estimated by using a given group’s current birth rates by age to guess how many children a woman would end up having over the course of her life. In practice, however, birth rates shift as women get older, and of course religious identity can change over time, as well, so fertility measures of this kind are unlikely to perfectly predict outcomes.
Figure 1 shows estimates from the NSFG for the three religious attendance groups.
It’s evident that birth rates among Americans who attend weekly have never dropped much below 2 children per woman, and as recently as 2008 were around 2.4 children each. Fertility among religious people did decline after the 2008 recession, but by 2017–2019, it was rising again.
In other words, there was no long slump in births to the most devout parents.
Religious women who attended church less than weekly had lower fertility in all time periods but especially during the 2000s. What’s most striking is that, since 2016, fertility rates for weekly- and less-than-weekly-attending women have moved in opposite directions, with fertility falling among the more nominally religious.
Finally, fertility among nonreligious women rose considerably from 1982 to 2005, then again from 2008 to 2012, showing a very different pattern than the one we see for religious women.
From 2010 to 2013, nonreligious women had about the same birth rates as women who attended religious services less than weekly, before their fertility slumped through 2019.
Here’s the most notable takeaway: Virtually 100 percent of the decline in fertility in the United States from 2012 to 2019 can be explained through a combination of two factors: growing numbers of religious women leaving the faith, along with declining birth rates among the nonreligious.
Before going further, it’s worth reflecting on the large cultural difference this represents. In 2019, most religious Americans had similar fertility rates as women in India, Libya, Sri Lanka, Tunisia, Iran, Myanmar, Saudi Arabia, Peru, or Mexico. That same year, the least religious Americans had birth patterns similar to Hong Kong, Japan, Portugal, Greece, Italy, Singapore, or Moldova.
COVID-19 has not reduced these differences. From fall 2020 to spring 2022, across four waves of the DIFS (which included about 9,000 participants), women who never attended church reported a fertility rate of around 1.3 children per mother, versus 2.1 for women who attended weekly. Those rates are very similar to the ones found in the NSFG for 2019.
Declining religion in America
But fertility rates aren’t the only thing driving birth trends. The number of women to whom those rates apply may vary as well. Figure 2 below shows the share of women ages 18–44 who were in each religious grouping, according to the NSFG.
Since 2002, the share of reproductive-age women who attended church weekly or more has fallen from about 35 percent to 24 percent. In the DIFS data, the share was even lower: only about 18 percent of women.
In other words, while the fertility rate among religious women has been stable, society has still become less religious on the whole, meaning the overall number of births to religious mothers has trended downwards.
Here’s the second striking takeaway, then: Despite a widening fertility gap, the ongoing trend of young Americans becoming more secular more than offsets the fertility advantage enjoyed by people of faith. Religious birth rates simply are not high enough to offset losses from the move to irreligion.
Data from the 2014 Pew Religious Life Survey suggest that net conversions in and out of American religions lead to about a 16 percent loss in religious people over the course of a generation. To offset that, religious American women would need to have 2.44 children each on average.
Among weekly attending women, the true figure is just 2.1. If we add in women who are irregular attenders to count all people of faith together, then religious women in 2019 had a fertility rate around 1.8 or 1.9 children each.
With birth rates at just 1.8 or 1.9 children per woman, versus a conversion-adjusted “replacement rate” of 2.44, religious communities in America will tend to decline by about 25 percent in each generation.
If these trends continue, then within three generations, religious communities in America will have shrunk by more than half—a devastating loss.
Key differences across religious groups
However, it’s not right to lump all religious groups together when it comes to fertility. Using data on conversions and births from the Pew Religious Life Survey (PRLS) in 2014, it’s possible to describe some crucial differences.
Using data from the PRLS, I separated individuals from different major world religions, and within Christianity, I broke out six distinct subgroups: Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox (grouped together, since there are few Orthodox respondents); Pentecostals; Protestant denominations in which at least 75 percent of respondents said they believed “the Bible is the Word of God”; groups that fall under the 75 percent marker; and nondenominational groupings over or under 75 percent on the same question.
Prior research has suggested that beliefs about the Bible are a good indicator of fertility behaviors in general.
Figure 3 below shows two indicators. First, it details the total fertility rate (TFR)—or number of children born per woman—that a religious group would need to achieve to experience growth, given the conversion rates, and assuming there’s zero immigration into the country.
The second indicator is an estimate of the actual TFR for that demographic, using between-group differences observed in the PRLS in 2014, then applied to actual fertility trends in 2019.
When the needed TFR is higher than the estimated TFR, it means that a religious group is likely to shrink over the next generation—unless it receives new members through immigration.
As the figure above shows, liberal Protestant denominations appear to be facing a dire situation. Given high rates of conversion out of these traditions, they need to achieve fertility rates of 3 children per woman to grow over the next generation. They only have about 1.5 or 1.6.
Conservative Protestants who believe the Bible is the Word of God have higher fertility rates (around 1.8 children per woman) and less-negative conversion rates, meaning they only need to have around 2.4 children per woman.
As a result, liberal denominations can expect a 48 percent decline in a generation, versus just a 26 percent decline for conservative denominations. (Again, that’s assuming no members are gained through immigration.)
On the other hand, there has been robust growth among nondenominational churches. Liberal nondenominational movements have roughly the fertility rate they need for stability (1.8 or 1.9), but conservative nondenominational movements have seen extraordinary growth: They only need to have about 0.8 children per woman to grow, but in fact they have around 1.9.
This means they will more than double in size over the next generation, even without immigrants. Likewise, Pentecostal churches will grow, with actual fertility (2.1) appreciably above needed fertility (1.8).
On the other hand, Catholic and Orthodox churches will see appreciable decline, with an average of 1.9 children born per woman—nowhere near high enough to offset high rates of conversion out of these faiths—yielding a needed fertility rate of 3.1.
Roman Catholic churches can expect a 40 percent decline in the next generation, unless immigration offsets that trend. (Numbers for other faith groups are included in the full brief.)
Although nonreligious fertility rates are very low, high rates of conversion into the “no religious affiliation” category will result in over 50 percent growth in the nonreligious population over the next generation.
In sum, faith groups in America in general face the prospect of stark decline. However, different segments will have different experiences.
For institutionalized Protestantism, Catholicism, and many of the other major world religions, the decline will be swift and deep, with high rates of religious exit and modest-sized families.
Some conservative denominations—for example, the Presbyterian Church in America—will be able to stave off serious decline for the immediate future. But fertility drops will still be the average experience. It’s only within nondenominational Christianity, Pentecostalism, Orthodox Judaism, heterodox offshoots of Christianity, small religious movements, and secularism that we’ll see significant fertility growth.
Takeaways for the church
For reasons I’ve described in length elsewhere, religiosity in America is declining. Changes in education, parenting styles, marital trends, and the geography of American neighborhoods have all conspired to suppress faith across the last several generations.
Meanwhile, the “fertility gap” between religious and nonreligious Americans has been growing for two decades and is now the widest it’s ever been. This fertility advantage, however, is nowhere near large enough to offset losses from the rejection of faith.
To compensate, religious Americans would need to have about 2.4 children each, and in some religious subgroups, even more. Most faith communities in America are having fewer children than they need for long-run stability, and as a result, the next few generations are likely to see a considerable decline in American religion.
However, this decline is not inevitable: Achieving growth again would not require American churches to do impossible things. Having one more child on average, successfully integrating a modest share of immigrants into the US, or achieving higher conversion rates could all stave off decline.
