The festival of Raksha Bandha holds a special place in the hearts of brothers and sisters. It is a celebration of the special bond that they share. On this auspicious day, which falls on Shravan Poornima or full moon day in the month of Sawan (according to Hindu calendar), sisters tie a sacred thread on the wrists of their brothers. It not only symbolises a Raksha Sutra (bond of protection), but also brings a moment where brothers and sisters exchange gifts.
People use words to express their feelings on the occasion, but some users also use Happy Rakhi images on the occasion to express their love for siblings. So here are some ideas:
Here's a quote to send as an accompanying message: "Thank you for being the pillar of my strength always. I am blessed to have you as my brother. Happy Raksha Bandhan!"
But she is your sister after all. So, how about adding this message: "To my childhood bully, my soul sister, my protector and my best friend! What would have I done without you! Have a Happy Raksha Bandhan!"
You can add a personal touch with this message: "This sacred thread you tie on my everywhere, reminds me of you all the time and fills me up with more love for you. You are the best sister in the world! Happy Raksha Bandhan!"
Here are some more image options:
The festival is celebrated all across India following various traditions of the region.
In Maharashtra, the festival of Raksha Bandhan is celebrated along with Narali Poornima (coconut day festival). Kolis are the fishermen community of the coastal state. The fishermen offer prayers to Lord Varuna, the Hindu god of Sea, to invoke his blessings. As part of the rituals, coconuts were thrown into the sea as offerings to Lord Varuna. The girls and women tie rakhi on their brother's wrist, as elsewhere.
In Haryana, in addition to celebrating Raksha Bandhan, people observe the festival of Salono. Salono is celebrated by priests solemnly tying amulets against evil on people's wrists. As elsewhere, sisters tie threads on brothers with prayers for their well being, and the brothers give her gifts promising to safeguard her. | https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/happy-rakhi-images-heres-a-special-way-to-with-raksha-bandhan-3245354 | 2022-08-11T08:28:49Z | https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/happy-rakhi-images-heres-a-special-way-to-with-raksha-bandhan-3245354 | false | 1 |

Peter Dutton has responded to an unflattering image of himself eating a dagwood dog.
The Leader of the Opposition ate the battered sausage dipped in tomato sauce at the Ekka agricultural show at Brisbane showgrounds on Wednesday, August 10.

Mr Dutton said many of his friends texted him after images of him eating dagwood dog were posted online.
"Most of my mates actually were pretty rapid-fire texting me like, 'WTF', but anyway, what do you do?" he said on 2Day FM radio on Thursday.
Mr Dutton explained he had to eat the dagwood dog vertically instead of sideways to avoid criticism.
"With the cameras there, I mean you can't eat it from the side because the sauce drips off and you do a Bill Shorten... so it leaves one angle and it's not a great one," Mr Dutton said.
The Opposition Leader isn't the only politician who enjoys a dagwood dog as Tasmanian Senator Jacqui Lambie posted a series of photos of herself eating the fairground favourite during the 2019 election.
"You guys know I like my sausage!" Ms Lambie captioned the post.
While people have poked fun at Mr Dutton online, he can rest assured that it wasn't as bizarre as when former Prime Minister Tony Abbott ate a raw onion, with the skin on, in 2015. | https://www.canberratimes.com.au/story/7857749/peter-dutton-responds-to-dagwood-dog-photos/ | 2022-08-11T08:33:59Z | https://www.canberratimes.com.au/story/7857749/peter-dutton-responds-to-dagwood-dog-photos/ | true | 1 |

The May 9 drive-by shooting on Dumouchel Street, in the city's Chomedy district, shocked residents after shots rang out in broad daylight. Officers did not locate any victims after the shooting that happened around 2:20 p.m., but found shell casings near the scene.
Police said Wednesday that Jemsley Olivier Printemps Sanon, 25, was arrested on charges of attempted murder, discharge of a firearm with intent and possession of a restricted firearm. He was arrested while already in jail on unrelated charges from Montreal.
The accused is linked to the Flamehead Boys street gang in Laval, police allege.
"It's a street gang that is operating in Laval and is in conflict with another street gang — Chomedy 45 — so it's important for us to tell the people that [the arrest] will have an impact on those street gangs," said Laval's deputy police chief, Jean François Rousselle, in an interview Wednesday.
"They are shooting at each other for all kinds of matters. Maybe it's about to gain any territory but sometimes it's because there's a conflict about a girlfriend."
POLICE SENDING A 'BOLD' MESSAGE
Rouselle said the gangs are involved in all kinds of crimes, including prostitution, theft, and drug trafficking, which helps fund the purchase of guns.
He said the arrest hopefully sends a "bold" message to criminals. "We are there, we will investigate, and obviously we will arrest you as well when we have all the means to do it."
Officers have had to adapt their investigative efforts and spend part of their time monitoring the social media activity of suspected gang members, he added. "It's a new phenomenon."
Laval police said they could not officially link Wednesday's arrest to other drive-by shootings around the same time as the May 9 shooting.
On May 8, a 28-year-old man was killed and his 14-year-old nephew was seriously injured while the car they were travelling in was shot up as they left a family party at the Paragon reception hall on Curé-Labelle Boulevard. Junior Lemoyne Printemps died in the gunfire that also injured his teen nephew, Sandrick Jorcelin, who was visiting family from the Boston area that weekend.
Police did not confirm or deny media reports that claimed Printemps has a family connection to the suspect who was arrested Wednesday, as they share the same last name.
On May 10, a 33-year-old man was shot dead in broad daylight on Beauregard Street near Normandin Street in the Chomedey district of the city.

The Druzhba [Friendship] pipeline is resuming the transfer of oil to Slovakia and Hungary following MOL Group’s payment to Ukraine for the Russian oil transit. However, imports are still halted to Czechia, local media report, after Russian oil company Transneft cut the oil flow westwards, blaming sanctions for blocking transit payments.
Slovnaft and its parent company Hungarian MOL Group announced on Tuesday they had initiated talks to make payments to Ukrainian operator Ukrtransnafta; news followed on Wednesday that Ukraine had received transit payments that Slovnaft and MOL Group had made on behalf of the Russian Transneft.
Russian oil pipeline operator Transneft said it had restarted pumping oil through the southern branch of the Druzhba pipeline on August 10, after the pipeline was closed down a day earlier in a payment dispute, the spokesman for the company Igor Dyomin told PRIME.
The oil flow was stopped because Transneft claimed that its Ukrainian counterpart Ukrtransnafta had been unable to receive transit fees due to Western sanctions. Transneft sent the fees, but Ukrtransnafta sent it back. Dyomin now confirms that Ukraine had confirmed having received the payment for Russian oil transit.
Slovak Minister of Industry Richard Sulik described the situation as an administrative glitch unrelated to politics.
“It is not a fault of Ukrainians or Russians”, said Sulik and cited a decision made in “a smaller office of a bank in Portugal or Belgium where they did not administer the payment” because this office considered administering the Transneft payment a breach of sanctions.
Sulik said that this was the fourth time a disruption like that had occurred since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and that the current payments by Slovnaft to enable the transit are a temporary solution to maintain the flow during August.
Flow further west to Czechia has not been resumed, however. “Disruption of the imports from the Druzhba pipeline does not limit the operations of Czech refineries”, said Czech Minister of Industry and Trade Josef Sikela on Twitter, adding that reserves contain oil for several days and that the country is working with Poland to begin imports into Czechia.
In Czechia, Druzhba’s client is a Czech company Unipetrol controlled by Polish group PKN Orlen. Other alternative options of oil imports to Czechia include the use of the TAL pipeline from the Italian port city of Trieste, informed the Czech state pipeline operator Mero, a shareholder in TAL Group.
Head of Mero Jaroslav Pantucek said the situation is not as serious as it looks. “Transneft confirmed supplies for the coming months. I think we are witnessing a negotiation game between individual parties”, he told Czech daily DenikN.
The EU agreed to halt imports of Russian oil by December 5, 2022, but Czechia, Hungary and Slovakia were exempted from the embargo due to their limited options to find alternatives for Russian imports, effectively keeping Druzhba operations in place. | https://www.intellinews.com/russia-resumes-oil-supplies-to-slovakia-and-hungary-but-imports-to-czechia-remain-halted-253136/ | 2022-08-11T08:49:38Z | https://www.intellinews.com/russia-resumes-oil-supplies-to-slovakia-and-hungary-but-imports-to-czechia-remain-halted-253136/ | false | 4 |

Murfreesboro council accepts revised Notes Live amphitheater development agreement
Notes Live expects to complete the project in 24 months
- Amphitheater and restaurant project planned for Medical Center Parkway
- Council helps project traffic concerns by funding parkway widening project
- Notes Live expects to book Grammy-winning performers for 'Live from Murfreesboro' recorded concerts
- City expects $1.5M in annual taxes from Notes Live development
Murfreesboro officials agreed Wednesday to sell rather than donate city land for $3.3 million for a Notes Live amphitheater and restaurant development.
"We ended up with a better product," Murfreesboro City Council member Bill Shacklett said before calling for the 6-0 vote to accept a revised development agreement recommended by City Manager Craig Tindall.
The previous proposed development agreement that would have donated city land for the project failed to get a majority vote by a split council. The property in question formerly had been available for several years to attract a headquarters on Medical Center Parkway.
Retiring council member Rick LaLance abstained from Wednesday's vote. LaLance, fellow council member Shawn Wright and Vice Mayor Madelyn Scales Harris opposed the initial development agreement involving a land donation.

The Notes Live project will be on 18.2 acres on the south side of the parkway by the intersection with Gateway Boulevard and across from the Fountains at Gateway commercial property and near Ascension Saint Thomas Hospital.
The agreement will allow Notes Live to pay $163,350 over 20 years. The company also will be paying 100% of the property taxes, said Robert Mudd, the president and chief operating officer for Notes Live.
The Notes Live developers expect to complete all of the now estimated $30 million project by late 2024 or early 2025. The proposal includes the following:
- a 4,500-seat amphitheater called, "The Sunset Music Colosseum on the River," for outdoor concerts with 45 VIP Fire-pit Suites and seating for up to eight guests;
- a "Boot Barn Hall" for indoor music and meals for 500 patrons for fully seated events with 8-top tables and 900 patrons in general admission style configurations;
- and a Bourbon Brothers Smokehouse and Tavern with restaurant seating for 300 customers.
Mudd said Notes Live to be booking Grammy-award-winning performers. He expects shows to be recorded for "Live from Murfreesboro" concerts that will be available to people across the world.
Notes Live, which is based in Colorado Springs, Colorado, also may attract a Roth Seafood and Chophouse restaurant to the property, Tindall has said.
The company is building a similar development in Gainesville, Georgia, that's expected to open in 2023, as well as an 8,000-seat amphitheater in Colorado Springs. The Colorado project will offer landscape views of Pikes Peak and the U.S. Air Force Academy, Mudd said.
Murfreesboro expects $1.5M in annual taxes from Notes Live development
The developer also will be required by the contract to hold sufficient concert events to help the city generate desired revenues from local sales taxes.
The arrangement stipulates the developer provide at least five ticketed events annually with paid attendance of more than 2,500. If Notes Live is unable to honor the requirement, the company will pay the city an amount equal to the $15.74 per square foot for 15 acres (about $10.3 million), which is the commercial development part of the property.
The Notes Live development also must adhere to the requirements of the city's planning, engineering and building codes officials, Murfreesboro Mayor Shane McFarland said.
The agreement further allows the Murfreesboro government to use of 3.2 acres of a shared parking lot Notes Live is building to the back of the property. The shared area would provide the city with space for events and a trailhead parking area for the eventual expansion of the Stones River Greenway along the West Fork of the Stones River, Tindall's report said. The Notes Live property is adjacent to the river.
The Notes Live project would involve 132 jobs to build the development with an annual average wage estimated to be $54,000. Once finished, Notes Live will have around 200 employees with about 40% being full-time, according to a report to the council from the city manager.
The jobs would include two executives earning $100,000 to $120,000 annually and 10 others making above the county's average annual wage, the report said.
Annual sales from the completed projects will bring in $32.5 million to $40 million, and the city should gain nearly $1.5 million in yearly taxes without counting the addition of Roth Seafood and Chophouse, Tindall's report said.

Council helps project traffic concerns by funding parkway widening project
Those against the initial agreement expressed concerns about traffic and noise.
The council, though, addressed some of the future traffic concerns by recently approving a $26 million funding plan to widen Medical Center Parkway from two lanes each way to three. City officials hope to bid the first phase of the widening work by January. If all goes according to plan, the widening work could be completed by fall 2026.
The council also approved $7.1 million in funding for a new rad project that will connect the parkway and Gateway Boulevard to Robert Rose Drive. The future road will provide another route to the Notes Live development.
In addition to the city's road plans, Notes Live will be building right and left turn lanes into entrances to the development along both Medical Center Parkway and Gateway Boulevard, said Matt Taylor, a project civil engineer. Taylor is vice president of Murfreesboro-based SEC (Site Engineering Consultants).
Mudd, the Notes Live company official, also talked about the development efforts to follow the city's regulations for noise.
Those by the front of nearby Ascension Saint Thomas Rutherford Hospital, for example, will hear a limit of 61 decibels of concert sounds, and that's about the equivalent of what people hear in a car traveling about 50 miles per hour or being inside a large store like The Home Depot, Mudd told the council.
Night concerts will shut down at 10:30 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 11 p.m. Saturday and Friday, Mudd said.
"We’re going to be proactive in working with our neighbors (to address concerns)," Mudd said.

However, the family already appeared to be enjoying all that their new home has to offer on Wednesday evening, as they tucked into popcorn in their new movie room, and Sophie shared: "It really does feel like home already which is a surprise to me."
Sophie shared an emotional message with her followers thanking them for their support
The 32-year-old, who was recently a bridesmaid at Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash's wedding, has been sharing updates with her 4.5 million Instagram followers as she has gradually transformed her new home over the past few months – and her favourite room is of course, the utility room.
"I'm trying to work everything out still. I feel like a fish out of water right now," she said of the room. "But I'm so in love with the whole house, every single part of it! I've been driving past this house ever since I was a little girl with my parents so to think I now get to come in here feels strange."

A Fort Worth father has been arrested for allegedly leaving his five children in a parked car with the engine running, but without air conditioning on Sunday, CBS Dallas reports.
Officers said they found Jose Leal, 29, at 8 p.m. in the yard of a home and the five children, ages 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6, in the car nearby.
Several were either sleeping or passed out when officers pulled them from the car. They immediately placed them inside air conditioned squad cars.
Temperatures topped out at 99 degrees on Sunday. Police didn't say how long the children were left alone in the car.
Medics from MedStar, a Fort Worth ambulance service, determined that the children were suffering from heat exhaustion and needed to go to the hospital. Their condition wasn't known.
First responders said the consequences of leaving a child in a hot car are potentially devastating — even deadly.
"In temperatures like we're seeing right now in North Texas, the inside of that vehicle in a matter of minutes can go to 140, 150 degrees, which means that the body temperature of the child inside that car is going to go 104,105 degrees and the child's vital organs - the brain, the heart, the kidneys cannot function at that level of temperature," said MedStar's Matt Zavadsky.
Since May 1, MedStar crews have treated 14 patients found in hot cars within their Tarrant County service area. All were six years old or younger.
"We've had kids that have been left in shopping mall parking lots," Zavadsky said. "We've had kids that climbed into an unlocked vehicle and the parents didn't even know it."
There's been a significant uptick in these incidents this year, according to MedStar data.
"We've often wondered why there's been such an increase and we really think that it might just be a there a lot of people that have moved here that aren't used to this kind of weather, perhaps, and where they came from might not have been as hot," he said. "Secondly, parents today are very distracted."
Leal faces five counts of abandonment/endangerment to a child/bodily injury, and was brought to jail.
Tips from MedStar to help keep kids safe:
• Create a reminder to check the back seat.
• Put something you'll need like your cell phone, handbag, employee ID or brief case, etc., in the back seat so you have to open the back door to retrieve that item every time you park.
• Keep a large stuffed animal in the child's car seat. When the child is placed in the car seat, put the stuffed animal in the front passenger seat. It's a visual reminder that the child is in the back seat.
• Keep car keys and remote openers out of the reach of children.
• If you see a child alone in a vehicle, get involved. Call 911 immediately. If the child seems hot or sick, get them out of the vehicle as quickly as possible.
"These things can happen to anyone, so following those instructions are crucial, no matter who you are, how great of a parent you are, how great of a grandparent you are, or any caretaker," Zavadsky said. "Taking those simple steps will help prevent us having to respond to that type of call." | https://www.newson6.com/story/62f2568bdc5bb70725efbabc/father-arrested-for-allegedly-leaving-5-kids-in-car-without-ac | 2022-08-11T08:55:21Z | https://www.newson6.com/story/62f2568bdc5bb70725efbabc/father-arrested-for-allegedly-leaving-5-kids-in-car-without-ac | true | 3 |

Lac La Ronge Indian Band (LLRIB) members voted to accept proposed changes to the LLRIB Election Act, according to an Aug. 3 LLRIB news release.
Key amendments passed include: electronic voting for any member who wants to vote electronically on- or off-reserve, “candidates cannot have more than $1,000 debt outstanding to LLRIB (including entities, businesses and corporations to which LLRIB is the majority shareholder). They must have an existing agreement to repay any debt;” the creation of a three-member Election Appeals Committee; candidates can be nominated in person or in advance via a form (delivered in person, by email or by mail); and creation of a Code of Conduct during elections campaigns.
LLRIB reported 1,431 members participated in the vote, out of a total of 7,973 potential electors. Roughly 63 per cent of voters agreed with the electronic (online) voting additions, while 74 per cent agreed with all other proposed amendments.
“We saw 18 per cent polling, nearly double the quorum required,” Electoral Officer Milt Burns said in the media release. “The voting was conducted in a peaceable manner without any disruptions.”
Burns and his team travelled between the communities to complete the voting process during the 2022 Treaty Day celebrations, including Stanley Mission, Sucker River, Grandmother’s Bay, La Ronge, Hall Lake, Little Red River, Saskatoon and Prince Albert.
The team travelled to Saskatoon and Prince Albert to full fill the requirements of the amendment process as a significant number of LLRIB members reside in the two municipalities.
“The overwhelming vote in support of online voting and other approved changes signify the LLRIB membership’s desire to further enhance the election process,” Election Tribunal chair Gladys Christianson said in a media release. “Online voting is expected to impact the voter turnout positively in future elections and also help in emergency situation such as the COVID-19 pandemic.”
Election Act changes will be ratified by Chief and Council paving the way for the online voting options or in-person voting to be available to LLRIB membership for all Band elections.
LLRIB Chief and Council’s next band election will be in March 2023.
The Northern Update will carry more about the about the LLRIB Election Act amendments in the September issue.

Watford are still monitoring Aston Villa striker Keinan Davis, according to reports.
Davis, 24, spent last season on loan at Nottingham Forest. The Englishman scored five times and assisted twice in 18 Championship appearances throughout the 2021/22 season, helping his side to promotion through the play-offs.
Earlier this summer it was revealed Forest had interest in bringing Davis back to the club on a permanent deal, but the Mirror shut that speculation down reporting Davis was not for sale.
Now though, a move back to the Championship seems likely with the Hornets retaining interest in the former England youth international. Watford’s interest first became known in June of this year and it doesn’t seem to have died down.
The report goes on to say if a deal is struck, it will likely be an initial loan deal.
Leeds United now interested in Ismaila Sarr’s Watford teammate, reports coming out of Europe suggest
The best thing for his career?
Davis wasn’t involved last weekend in Villa’s first league game against Bournemouth and at 24-year-old the best way for him to reach his potential is consistent football.
If Davis isn’t in Steven Gerrard’s plans then a move away makes sense and Watford could be the perfect destination. Rob Edwards’ side play an exciting brand of football and they’ve started the season well with a win and a draw in the opening two league games.
The Hornets have a plethora of attacking talent in their ranks but star striker Emmanuel Dennis is being linked with a move away, so a replacement could be in order.
The transfer window slams shut in less than three weeks so clarity will be needed soon on Davis’ future.

A Hull bakery has shared tips on how they are hoping to reduce their energy to help other businesses stay afloat during the cost of living crisis.
With energy bills soaring, many local businesses are finding themselves struggling to keep up with the added costs.
In June, Asian-fusion restaurant, Social Distortion, announced they were shutting doors on Princes Avenue after costs were simply 'not do-able', Jerry Green Dog Rescue had to close one of their branches due to the cost of living crisis, pubs in Hull are also struggling to keep up with pub chains amidst the crisis and foresee potential closure.

Hull-based pie bakery, Hull Pies, took to Instagram to share the ways they have cut their costs. They urged all business owners to think of a plan going forward as they need to take action now to help themselves.
They said following the price hikes, their energy bills are going to go from £650 a month last year, to £2600 per month. They added that the costs were simply not sustainable so they have taken to reducing their inventory to save money on running fridges and freezers.
In an Instagram post, the bakery said: "We have 11 freezers and 4 fridges, we have looked at them and worked out a way to turn 5 freezers off and 1 fridge and I would definitely advise you to have a think about how you can save space, reduce stock at any one time and possibly reduce your menu so there's less to be held at any one time.
"We’ve worked out by turning off these items, starting to switch plugs off at the wall when not in use and main 3 phase power over night at the mains junction box and this will likely save a 1/4 of our energy consumption. DO IT!! Take the time, figure it out and if you need to chat our door (email) is always open!
"Too many businesses are going out of business in Hull. Let's try and help each other to stay a float!"

It’s why we’re here.”
“Having accessible healthcare services right on the Island is extremely important for our area residents,” said Tilghman Island resident Ginny Cornwell. “We’re fortunate to have Choptank Health as a partner in our community to help people who especially have transportation challenges, for example, or who are managing chronic conditions and can’t always get up the road.”
Choptank Community Health System serves more than 30,000 patients in Caroline, Dorchester, Kent, and Talbot counties.

FRANKFURT: German industrial conglomerate Siemens said Thursday it had made a significant net loss as it counted the cost of struggles at its former energy unit.
Between April and June, Siemens recorded a net loss of 1.5 billion euros ($1.5 billion), after a mirror 1.5-billion-euro profit in the same period last year.
The loss was due to a 2.7 billion euro devaluation of the group’s “stake in Siemens Energy and Russia-related impacts totalling 0.6 billion euros”, Siemens said in a statement.
Shares in Siemens Energy, which was spun off from its parent in 2020, have fallen around 25 percent since the start of the year.
Siemens Energy has had to contend with the struggles of its own wind-energy subsidiary, Siemens Gamesa, which has struggled to turn a profit despite surging demand for renewable energy.
Quarterly revenues at Siemens, which makes products ranging from trains to factory equipment, rose 11 percent year-on-year to 17.9 billion euros, with progress seen across the board.
SoftBank to gain $34bn from cutting Alibaba stake
Its “digital industries” division, which includes factory automation, led the way with sales up 18 percent to 4.9 billion euros.
The improvement came despite the turbulence caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, soaring inflation and persistent bottlenecks in supply chains that can be traced back to the coronavirus pandemic.
The Munich-based group had been able “to avoid larger disruptions due to supply chain risks”, it said.
Siemens, which runs its business year from October to September, said it continued to expect a profitable 12-month period, while reducing its guidance in line with the hit to its stake in Siemens Energy.
As such, the group expected earnings per share to be around 5.33 to 5.73 euros, down from an earlier estimate around nine euros.
Otherwise, Siemens still expected revenue growth in the current business year of six to eight percent. | https://www.brecorder.com/news/40191066/siemens-posts-loss-as-energy-spin-off-struggles | 2022-08-11T09:13:01Z | https://www.brecorder.com/news/40191066/siemens-posts-loss-as-energy-spin-off-struggles | false | 1 |

- Those who did not eat meat and fish had 33 per cent higher risk of hip fractures
- Reinforces advice vegetarians should fortify diets with key nutrient supplements
Vegetarian women have a higher risk of breaking their hips in later life compared to meat-eaters, research suggests.
A study of more than 26,000 middle-aged women has revealed those who do not eat meat and fish have a 33 per cent higher risk of hip fractures.
This could be because they have a lower intake of nutrients that are linked with bone and muscle health, the researchers said.
And it reinforces advice that vegetarians should fortify their diets with key nutrients, they added.
A team from Leeds University investigated the risk of hip fracture in occasional meat-eaters, pescatarians - who eat fish but not meat - and vegetarians compared to regular meat-eaters.
Vegetarian women have a higher risk of breaking their hips in later life compared to meat-eaters, research suggests
Among 26,318 women, 822 hip fracture cases were observed over roughly 20 years - meaning around 3 per cent of women experienced them.
Analysis, published in the journal BMC Medicine, found that after adjusting for factors such as smoking and age, vegetarians were the only diet group with an elevated risk of hip fracture.
The team also discovered the average BMI among vegetarians was slightly lower than the average among the regular meat eaters.
Previous research has shown a link between low BMI and high risk of hip fracture, which could help explain the finding.
Lead author James Webster said vegetarian diets can vary, with some still being unhealthy.
‘Our study highlights potential concerns regarding risk of hip fracture in women who have a vegetarian diet,’ he said.
‘However, it is not warning people to abandon vegetarian diets. As with any diet, it is important to understand personal circumstances and what nutrients are needed for a balanced healthy lifestyle.
‘Vegetarian diets can vary widely from person to person and can be healthy or unhealthy, just like diets that include animal products.
‘However, it is concerning that vegetarian diets often have lower intakes of nutrients that are linked with bone and muscle health. These types of nutrients generally are more abundant in meat and other animal products than in plants, such as protein, calcium, and other micronutrients.
‘Low intake of these nutrients can lead to lower bone mineral density and muscle mass, which can make you more susceptible to hip fracture risk.’
Vegetarian diets have gained popularity in recent years, with a 2021 survey putting the size of the UK vegetarian population as high as 7 per cent.
It is often perceived as a healthier dietary option, with previous evidence showing it can reduce the risk of several chronic diseases including diabetes, heart disease and cancer compared to people who also eat meat.
However it has also been linked to negative effects such as poor bone health.
Co-author Professor Janet Cade said: ‘Hip fracture is a global health issue with high economic costs that causes loss of independence, reduces quality of life, and increases risk of other health issues.
‘Plant-based diets have been linked with poor bone health, but there has been a lack of evidence on the links to hip fracture risk.
‘This study is an important step in understanding the potential risk plant-based diets could present over the long-term and what can be done to mitigate those risks.’
Not being underweight, fortifying the diet with key nutrients and being physically active to strengthen bones and muscles are some of the ways vegetarian women can help maintain their bone health, the authors said. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-11098239/Vegetarian-women-likely-suffer-hip-fractures.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | 2022-08-11T09:13:14Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-11098239/Vegetarian-women-likely-suffer-hip-fractures.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | true | 3 |
More than 1,000 firefighters are struggling to contain a massive wildfire which has burned a large area of pine forest in south-west France – in a region already ravaged by flames last month.
Local authorities said more than 26 square miles have burned since Tuesday in the Gironde region and neighbouring Landes as France, like other European countries, swelters through a hot and dry summer.
Temperatures are expected to reach 40C on Thursday in the region.
The blaze forced the evacuation of about 10,000 people and destroyed at least 16 houses.
Photographs released by firefighters showed flames raging through pine forests overnight, sending clouds of smoke in the air and illuminating the sky with intense orange light.
Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne and interior minister Gerald Darmanin are due to visit the evacuated small town of Hostens on Thursday to meet firefighters, rescuers, local officials and volunteers.
Mr Darmanin said nine aircraft and two helicopters have been mobilised to fight the blaze.
The Gironde region was hit last month by major wildfires that forced the evacuation of more than 39,000 people, including residents and tourists.
France is this week in the midst of its fourth heat wave of the year as the country faces what the government warned is its worst drought on record.

Nacional de Montevideo was eliminated by Atlético Goianiense in the quarterfinals of the Copa Sudamericana. It was a defeat in Brazil by 3-0 after the 1-0 suffered in the first leg in Uruguay and thus the Uruguayan striker Luis Suárez was left prematurely without international competition after returning to his home club to get a touch of that type in his preparation for the World Cup in Qatar.
The match played at the Serra Dourada stadium in Goiania featured a brace by Luiz Fernando, who opened and closed the scoring and had already scored the goal of the first match in Montevideo, while Baralhas converted the second. Nacional was never in the game during the 90 minutes of play. As for Suárez, as in the first leg, he once again occupied a place among the substitutes and replaced the Argentine Emmanuel Gigliotti at the start of the complement, when his team was already losing 2-0.
The gunslinger had previously declined an offer from River Plate because the Argentine club had not qualified for the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores, but his bet on Nacional did not go well either because he was decisively eliminated by Goianiense, the team led by Argentine striker Diego Churín, who was the figure of the court with his assists and his team play.
As it was expected, This elimination of Luis Suárez did not go unnoticed on social networks. The classic memes were present, with River Plate fans as the main promoters. But the jokes were not only made by supporters of the Argentine team, but also by the brazilian club what published a tweet that aroused controversy.
The best memes for the elimination of Luis Suárez’s Nacional:

The Tillamook County Fair is this week and we all know what that means – Fun, Fellowship and FOOD! This phrase was the mantra of Tillamook’s former Mayor, Suzanne Weber, who led the Sacred Heart Parish food booth at the fair for many years. Sadly, the Sacred Heart booth will no longer be part of the fair which means no more fresh salads, grilled cheese sandwiches or homemade berry cobbler. This also means, no more garlic fries. Nooooooo!
Just about everyone has their favorite “fair food” they look forward to every year. Whether it is cotton candy, corn dogs or funnel cakes, they key is to enjoy these annual treats without overdoing it. “Fair time is a special time and that means it is okay to indulge,” says Anne Goetze, a registered dietitian with the Oregon Dairy and Nutrition Council. Also a member of the Tillamook County Wellness Advisory Committee, Goetze encourages fairgoers to think about sharing treats like elephant ears or giant cinnamon rolls with family and friends.
Other suggestions for ways to enjoy fair food without adding to your waistline or slimming down your wallet include eating a well-balanced meal or snack before you go to the fair. Here are a few suggestions:
• Include protein and whole grains with breakfast for lasting energy. Try oatmeal with yogurt and fruit.
• Colorful vegetables can be hard to find at the fair, so plan to eat them at other meals that day. Have a salad or vegetables with your lunch before you go or for dinner back at home.
• Healthy snacks can be simple and can be packed in a small cooler or lunch bag, such as: individual cheese slices, apples, oranges, sliced vegetables or baby carrots, nuts and dried fruit like raisins.
According to Dusti Linnell, an associate professor of practice with OSU Extension Family & Community Health and Wellness advisory committee member, “The key is to limit high calorie foods to special occasions and consider ways to boost nutrition whenever possible. Great ideas for sweet treats are to add nuts or fruit toppings to ice cream or frozen yogurt or choose desserts with fruit or whole grains like oats in pies and crisps.”
When eating at the fair, Linnell suggests making at least one healthy choice for each meal, like adding a side of grilled vegetables to an order of teriyaki noodles. If curly fries are your go-to fair food, consider sharing those with others and combine with a salad or a burger with lettuce, tomato and onion. Local vendors serving healthier or plant-based meal options might be found inside the exhibit hall or near the carnival, so be sure to scope out all your options before settling on your final meal plan.
Intentionally combining healthy choices when eating treats helps regulate blood sugar and avoid feeling sluggish. This is always important but especially during Fair, where you’ll need lots of energy to do all that walking and talking! With that in mind, remember to drink lots of water throughout your day. Consider bringing a water bottle or replacing soda with bottled water when ordering meals.
As a final note, the fair can be a crowded, bustling place. People who have not yet been fully vaccinated for covid-19, are at a high risk of getting it. Even if you have been vaccinated, it is still possible for you to transmit the virus to others. Young children and people with certain health conditions are not yet able to be vaccinated. Please consider wearing a mask to protect those vulnerable populations. Frequent handwashing is another important way to avoid spreading illness. Take advantage of hand washing stations located throughout the fair and have hand sanitizer as an added safety precaution.
Staying connected socially is as important for our well-being as eating healthy foods. Both contribute to a stronger immune system and improved mood. Even if you don’t plan to go to the fair, consider ways you can gather with friends and family to enjoy some fun, fellowship and food this summer.

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greek authorities say a search and rescue operation is ongoing for a second day for dozens of migrants missing after the boat they were on sank in rough seas off a southeastern Greek island.
A Greek navy vessel and three nearby merchant ships were still searching Thursday for between around 30 to 50 people believed missing after the boat that had been carrying them from the Turkish coast of Antalya to Italy capsized in the early hours of Wednesday.
No further survivors had been located since 29 men from Afghanistan, Iran and Iraq were rescued shortly after the boat sank about 33 nautical miles (38 miles; 61 kilometers) southeast of the island of Karpathos, the Greek coast guard said. The survivors had told authorities there had been a total of between 60 and 80 people on board the boat.
Greek authorities said the capsizing occurred in international waters, but within Greece’s search and rescue responsibility area.
Two of the survivors were plucked from the sea by an air force helicopter and flown to Karpathos, while the remaining 27 were picked up by a merchant vessel and transported to the island of Kos, where they arrived Wednesday afternoon.
Video released by the coast guard showed the men being transferred from the merchant ship to a coast guard boat which then transported them to Kos. There, dressed in white coveralls and wearing masks, they disembarked, many of them limping but all walking unassisted, and headed to a waiting bus.
It wasn't immediately clear why the boat sank, but weather conditions in the area were rough, with strong winds and choppy seas, authorities said.
The most common sea route for asylum-seekers from the Middle East, Asia and Africa has been from Turkey to the nearby Greek islands in the Aegean Sea.
But with Greek authorities increasing patrols in the area and facing persistent reports of summarily deporting new arrivals to Turkey without allowing them to apply for asylum, many are now attempting the much longer, and more dangerous, route directly to Italy. Greek authorities deny they carry out illegal summary deportations of asylum-seekers.

Cape Town - Yet another teen has died after being caught in the crossfire of an alleged gang shootout on the Cape Flats.
Fifteen-year-old Aqeelah Shroeder died in hospital.
She was shot while accompanying a friend to a spaza shop on Women’s Day. Her family said she had stepped out to buy sausages less than 200m from their home when two shots rang out.
Aqeelah’s sister, Tiffany Shroeder, 24, said: “I remember hearing the two shots and looking outside. I saw Aqeelah’s friend hiding behind our wall and quickly got my son down and ran to shut our back door. People were screaming, and I heard them say, ‘get the ambulance, call the ambulance, it’s Aqeelah’.
“I immediately put my son down and went to check what was happening. That’s when I saw Aqeelah lying on the ground. My mom was at a Women’s Day luncheon, so I rushed to get her.
“Aqeelah was shot once in the neck just under her chin, and the bullet went right through, spilling out with some parts of her brain. I never thought I’d see my sister like that. She was such a sweet girl, and I’ll miss her.
“I still can’t believe that she’s gone. We spent the day together with my aunt happy, she was so happy dancing and taking pictures. I remember at one point she even said to my aunt that she shouldn’t leave without taking their last picture together,” Schroeder said.
Aqeelah Schroeder was in Grade 9 at Delft High School. Police have since begun investigating her death, searching for the suspects involved.
Police spokesperson Frederick van Wyk said: “Delft police are investigating a murder case after a shooting incident on Tuesday, August 9 at about 4pm in front of premises in Spitfire Street in the Hague, Delft, where a 15-year-old girl was shot and injured.
“Initial reports indicate that officers received a complaint from radio control on arrival at the scene; they found the victim lying on the ground on her stomach with a gunshot wound to her right shoulder.
“According to witnesses, the victim was walking to a nearby shop when she was caught in the crossfire from two rival gangs.”
Van Wyk said investigating officers believe the suspects fled the scene on foot, while the victim was being transported by ambulance to a nearby hospital for medical attention.
The area’s local community leaders and neighbourhood watch teams on Wednesday held an emotionally charged march in memory of the slain teen, walking to their local police station demanding justice for her killing.
Delft councillor Michelle Adonis said: “For a young girl like Aqeelah to be killed in such a manner is just not acceptable. This afternoon we will march for Aqeelah and other victims of crime in our communities, we will hand over petitions to the SAPS and the courts calling for an end to these incidents claiming the lives of our youth." | https://www.iol.co.za/capeargus/news/delft-girl-15-killed-by-bullet-through-her-neck-on-womens-day-e8313390-8f11-4696-a3d0-cd8b341025da | 2022-08-11T09:32:38Z | https://www.iol.co.za/capeargus/news/delft-girl-15-killed-by-bullet-through-her-neck-on-womens-day-e8313390-8f11-4696-a3d0-cd8b341025da | true | 1 |
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, yesterday, celebrated the Baba Adinni of Lagos State, Alhaji Abdulhafeez Abou, on his 100th birthday.
According to the Speaker, the attainment of 100 years on earth connotes special favour from the Almighty Allah, which most men pray to be blessed with in their lifetime.
Gbajabiamila noted that the Baba Adinni of Lagos deserves to be celebrated being an illustrious son of Lagos and a worthy community leader of Surulere, who has impacted lives positively all his life.
He said: “The attainment of this special age by Sheikh Abou can be linked to God’s grace that made it possible for him to live a life full of impact on humanity, imparting knowledge and worshiping Allah.
“These qualities alone, along with many others that define our Baba Adinni, make it essential to honour this admirable person whose life serves as an example for younger generations to follow.”
“My prayer is that may Allah continue to grant him sound health, more wisdom and many more years of service to humanity and worship of Allah,” Gbajabiamila said. | https://www.thenews-chronicle.com/gbajabiamila-hails-baba-adinni-of-lagos-on-his-100th-birthday/ | 2022-08-11T09:34:16Z | https://www.thenews-chronicle.com/gbajabiamila-hails-baba-adinni-of-lagos-on-his-100th-birthday/ | false | 1 |

The Liberia Revenue Authority (LRA) and port operator APM Terminals Liberia have launched the Port Automation and Digitization (PAD) project at the Freeport of Monrovia.
The launch of the project comes after months of consultations and engagements with stakeholders, a release says.
The launch heralds a new phase of computerized processes at the Freeport of Monrovia which eliminates paper and reduces human interface as much as possible.
This will significantly improve the efficiency of both custom clearance processes and terminal operations in the long term and reaffirm the Freeport of Monrovia's position as the gateway to the economy of Liberia and the Mano River Union.
At a ceremony attended by a wide swath of government and business leaders, various speakers emphasized the importance of this new initiative to the efficiency of port processes, ease of doing business and revenue mobilization.
Minister of Finance & Development Planning and keynote speaker, Mr. Samuel Tweah, commended APM Terminals Liberia and partners for the historic and transformative initiative.
"Digitizing the Port comes with numerous benefits to the economy in terms of ease of doing business and revenue mobilization."
"This development has the full endorsement and support of His Excellency President George Weah, whose policies have been focused on strengthening our economy to boost trade and business and create opportunities for all," said Minister Tweah.
"It is in this light that I commend APM Terminals Liberia and partners for launching this initiative and for their collaboration in making sure that we achieve full success with Port Automation and Digitization" Mr. Tweah noted.
Mr. Thomas Doe Nah, Commissioner General of the Liberia Revenue Authority (LRA), implementing partner of the project, highlighted the importance of Port Automation and Digitization to the Authority's mandate of revenue collection.
"As a key partner to this initiative, we are convinced about its potential to help us deal with loopholes and leakages often facilitated by human interventions so that we can maximize port revenue as we should," Mr. Nah remarked.
Spearheading the project is APM Terminals Liberia whose Managing Director, Jonathan Graham was full of gratitude to the various partners.
Mr. Graham stressed the need for even stronger partnerships with PAD journey, in the roll out of the project.
He added that such is the only way that the Freeport of Monrovia can be transformed into a modern port serving Liberia and the sub region.
"Today is a very significant day in the history of the Free Port of Monrovia. The strong partnership between us and the various port stakeholders has been demonstrated once again and we are immensely grateful to all the players who have worked with us from project conception to implementation," he said.
"Let me please reiterate the importance of these partnerships. They are crucial to us, and we see it as the only way we can collectively transform the Free Port of Monrovia," Mr. Graham said.
The Technical Team Leader of the project for APM Terminals Liberia, and Regional Customer Products & Services Lead in Africa, Middle East & Asia, Mr. Metus Freeman, spoke of the preparatory work done by the partners in the lead up to this launch.
He said the various logistics, technical know-how and training have all been provided to ensure a smooth implementation.
Mr. Freeman promised that all that is necessary will be done to bring convenience to every stakeholder in the process.
"We have had several collaborative training sessions with Custom Brokers, Importers, MTS, Banks and LRA officials on the process."
"What we are launching today is the product of strong collaboration between all our partners and different stakeholders, and especially LRA, and we have all worked diligently to provide the knowledge and tools needed to achieve maximum efficiency." Mr. Freeman explained.
Previously, customers had to manually submit their declarations, go through assessment, raise checks and proceed to pay before the Customs Broker and obtain customs release to present to APM Terminals Liberia for terminal release for onward inspection and trucking.
These processes took about 5 days to complete. These were reduced significantly with the initial steps of implementation of the digitization process.
With the full-scale automation and digitization, the process is expected to be reduced even further, saving productive hours and bringing convenience to both Custom Brokers and customers.
The Minister of Commerce and Industry Mawine Diggs, observed that this new and improved way of doing business at the Freeport will have a positive effect on trade and commercial activities in Liberia as importers are able to clear their goods in good time, less costly and get them onto the market.
The project has also received strong support from the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Development, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Liberia Revenue Authority (LRA), National Port Authority (NPA), Central Bank of Liberia, Custom Brokers Association, MTS, LBDI, Ecobank, GT Bank, Maersk, CMA CGM, and MSC and customers of the Free Port. | https://allafrica.com/stories/202208110172.html | 2022-08-11T09:40:34Z | https://allafrica.com/stories/202208110172.html | true | 2 |
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un declared victory over COVID-19 at a national meeting where his sister, in an especially combative speech, said Kim had suffered a fever himself and laid dubious blame against South Korea for the outbreak while vowing deadly retaliation.
The North’s official Korean Central News Agency said Thursday that Kim ordered preventive measures eased just three months after the country first acknowledged an outbreak, claiming the country’s widely disputed success would be recognized as a global health miracle.
Seen delivering a speech on TV for the first time, his powerful sister said Kim had suffered a fever while glorifying his “epoch-making” leadership and she blamed the North Korean outbreak on leaflets flown from across the border from South Korea.
North Korea’s statements about its outbreak are widely doubted and are thought to be aimed at helping Kim maintain absolute control of the country. Some experts believe the victory statement signals Kim’s intent to move to other priorities but are concerned his sister’s remarks portend a provocation.
South Korea’s Unification Ministry, which handles inter-Korean affairs, issued a statement expressing strong regret over North Korea’s “extremely disrespectful and threatening comments” that were based on “ridiculous claims” about the source of its infections.
North Korea first suggested in July that its COVID-19 outbreak began in people who had contact with objects carried by balloons flown from South Korea — a questionable and unscientific claim that appeared to be an attempt to hold its rival responsible.
Since North Korea admitted to an omicron outbreak of the virus in May, it has reported about 4.8 million “fever cases” in its population of 26 million but only identified a fraction of them as COVID-19. It has claimed the outbreak has been slowing for weeks and just 74 people have died.
“Since we began operating the maximum emergency anti-epidemic campaign (in May), daily fever cases that reached hundreds of thousands during the early days of the outbreak were reduced to below 90,000 a month later and continuously decreased, and not a single case of fever suspected to be linked to the evil virus has been reported since July 29,” Kim said in his speech Wednesday during a national meeting where he announced a new pandemic response.
“For a country that has yet to administer a single vaccine shot, our success in overcoming the spread of the illness in such a short period of time and recovering safety in public health and making our nation a clean virus-free zone again is an amazing miracle that would be recorded in the world’s history of public health,” he said, according to KCNA.
For Kim to declare victory against COVID-19 suggests that he wants to move on to other priorities, such as boosting a broken and heavily sanctioned economy further damaged by pandemic border closures or conducting a nuclear test, said Leif-Eric Easley, a professor of international studies at Ewha Womans University in Seoul.
South Korean and U.S. officials have said North Korea could be gearing up for its first nuclear test in five years amid its torrid run of weapons tests this year that included its first demonstrations of intercontinental ballistic missiles since 2017.
The provocative testing activity underscores Kim’s dual intent to advance his arsenal and pressure the Biden administration over long-stalled negotiations aimed at leveraging its nukes for badly needed sanctions relief and security concessions, experts say.
Kim Jun-rak, a spokesperson for South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Thursday the South Korean military was maintaining firm readiness and prepared for “various possibilities” of North Korean provocations.
The bellicose rhetoric of Kim Yo Jong is concerning because it indicates she will try to blame any COVID-19 resurgence on the South and is also looking to justify North Korea’s next military provocation, Easley said.
Activists for years have flown balloons across the border to distribute hundreds of thousands of propaganda leaflets critical of Kim, and North Korea has often expressed fury at the activists and at South Korea’s leadership for not stopping them.
During Wednesday’s meeting, Kim Yo Jong reiterated those claims, calling the country’s virus crisis a “hysteric farce” kicked off by South Korea to escalate confrontation.
“(South Korean) puppets are still thrusting leaflets and dirty objects into our territory. We must counter it toughly,” she said. “We have already considered various counteraction plans, but our countermeasure must be a deadly retaliatory one.”
North Korean state TV showed some members of an audience of thousands crying as she spoke about her brother’s supposed fever — a reference that wasn’t further explained. The crowd applauded and cheered as she vowed the North would “eradicate not only the virus but also (South Korean) government authorities” if the “enemies continue dangerous acts that could introduce the virus into our republic.”
While Kim Yo Jong has made many speeches and statements in recent years as one of the most powerful members of her brother’s leadership circle, Thursday marked the first time North Korean media broadcast video and audio of her delivering an entire speech, South Korea’s Unification Ministry said. The highlighting of her speech in state media reflects her rising status and could be aimed at punctuating the threat communicated to the South.
North Korea’s claim about how the outbreak started contradicts outside experts who believe the omicron variant spread when the country briefly reopened its border with China to freight traffic in January and surged further following a military parade and other large-scale events in Pyongyang in April.
In May, Kim Jong Un prohibited travel between cities and counties to slow the spread of the virus. But he also stressed that his economic goals should be met, which meant huge groups continued to gather at agricultural, industrial and construction sites.
At the virus meeting, Kim called for the easing of preventive measures and for the nation to maintain vigilance and effective border controls, citing the global spread of new coronavirus variants and monkeypox. | https://www.informnny.com/news/world-news/north-korea-claims-disputed-victory-over-virus-blames-seoul/ | 2022-08-11T09:41:23Z | https://www.informnny.com/news/world-news/north-korea-claims-disputed-victory-over-virus-blames-seoul/ | true | 16 |

Your Daily Horoscope August 11, 2022
The urge to break the mold or go off-script will be strong.
Bustle’s resident astrologer Mecca Woods, founder of My Life Created, shares every zodiac sign’s daily horoscope for today, August 11, 2022.
It’s an action-packed kind of day. The atmosphere is charged with energy and anticipation largely due to tonight’s Full Moon in provocative Aquarius. Though you need not wait for the full moon for the excitement (or the weirdness) to begin. The morning gets off to a rousing start when la luna meets up with enthusiastic Jupiter in Aries. A few hours later, the sun in over-the-top Leo faces off with unexpected Uranus in Taurus. The urge to break the mold or go off-script will be strong.
By the afternoon, charming Venus enters confident and glamourous Leo. With Venus in Leo, bold gestures and displays are valued now, especially when it comes to style, romance, and pursuing your passion. Under tonight’s full moon, there could be a sudden realization or change of heart that pushes you to walk away from something and in a new direction, especially if it’s been trampling on your freedom or individuality.
By the evening, the frenetic pace continues as the Aquarius moon finds itself in a tense spot with Uranus in Taurus and the sun in Leo. With this cosmic combination, there could be a game-changing event that goes down. Fortunately, grounded Mars in Taurus and soothing Neptune in Pisces lend some help when they get together towards the end of the day. They’ll remind you to be patient and flexible in dealing with anything that might catch you off-guard.
If Your Zodiac Sign Is Aries (March 21-April 19)
You might need to exit a friendship or a social circle that you’ve outgrown. Too, it may be time to stop pursuing a goal that no longer resonates with you.
If Your Zodiac Sign Is Taurus (April 20-May 20)
If you’re not happy with your career, expect to receive a glaringly obvious sign that you need a change. It’s time to start listening to your heart a little more.
If Your Zodiac Sign is Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You might be traveling at the spur of the moment for an exciting new opportunity or offer. Meanwhile, if there’s something you need to address, be frank about it.
If Your Zodiac Sign Is Cancer (June 21-July 22)
You might come across something triggering. This could be the push you need to stop settling for less or shrinking yourself.
If Your Zodiac Sign Is Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
You might be faced with the decision to call it quits on a partnership that’s no longer working. Ask yourself: does this still hold worth or benefit for me?
If Your Zodiac Sign Is Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Something in your life has become more soul-sucking or draining than you expected. You’re being presented with the chance to do something about it. Don’t be scared to move on.
If Your Zodiac Sign Is Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Being authentic is the key to building your confidence, finding your community, or doing more of what you love. What does being true to yourself mean to you right now?
If Your Zodiac Sign Is Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
A situation regarding your home or family life could reach a turning point today. Though you might need to put your foot down or step outside your comfort zone for this to happen.
If Your Zodiac Sign Is Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
If it feels like you’ve got way too much happening all at once, be honest about it, especially if you need help or to back out of a commitment. Communication is key.
If Your Zodiac Sign Is Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Getting what you need shouldn’t always be a task. Although it can sometimes be difficult when you’re afraid to ask for it. Today, you may well be on your way to getting over that fear.
If Your Zodiac Sign Is Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You’re called to take your rightful place in the spotlight. But first, you’ve got to be resistant to helpful advice or input from folks that can help you get there.
If Your Zodiac Sign Is Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Stress could be unmanageable today. Perhaps it’s finally time to talk about something that’s been weighing on you. Learning better ways to manage your emotions can help too.

What do Republican candidates for Cape district attorney say are top issues?
Critiques of "progressive prosecution," opioid addiction and planned initiatives took center stage, as Republican candidates competing to be the Cape and Islands' next district attorney faced off.
Former police officer and family law and estate planning attorney Melissa Alden and Assistant District Attorney Dan Higgins fielded questions during a debate Tuesday night hosted by the Cape Cod Republican Club.
Matt Pitta served as the moderator.

A third Republican hopeful, criminal defense attorney John "Jack" Carey, missed the debate as he was sick with COVID-19 and spent Monday in the emergency room at Cape Cod Hospital, according to a statement released by his campaign.
The primary is set for Sept. 6. Whoever secures the Republican nomination will go on to face the Democratic choice in the November general election. The winner of that election will become the area's third district attorney since its creation in 1975.
Robert Galibois is the sole Democratic candidate in the running. Current District Attorney Michael O'Keefe is not seeking a sixth term, after almost 20 years in office.
The Cape and Islands' first district attorney was Phil Rollins, who retired in 2002 and died in 2005.
Below are some takeaways from Tuesday's debate.
If chosen as nominee, how would you differentiate yourself from the Democratic choice?
Higgins said he's spent almost 13 years in the district attorney's office and said he'd tout that experience if he faces Galibois.
"All of my time as an attorney has been here serving the Cape and Islands and trying to promote public safety by prosecuting crimes," Higgins said.
More: Barnstable County voters should be on the lookout for mail-in ballot applications
Alden highlighted Galibois' ties to Norwell where he lived from 2014 until February when he moved to Barnstable. He lived in Bourne from 1996 to 2014.
"I think that means he's out of touch with this community ... the district attorney's office should be in connection with this community," Alden said.
No list of charges to be declined
Both Higgins and Alden said they would not follow former Suffolk County District Attorney Rachael Rollins' lead by publishing a list of charges they would decline to prosecute.
Alden said there are "laws on the books and there's reason for that." In her opinion, she said better collection of data may fix concerns about unfair treatment.
"And then we can be proactive and not reactive and protect our law enforcement in being able to do their job without being accused of treating people differently based on their backgrounds," Alden said.
More: Could this ballot application lead to voter fraud? Very unlikely, say experts
Higgins called it a "cookie cutter approach" that does not account for details, such as criminal record and whether a crime was intentional or born out of addiction.
"If you don't prosecute the minor crimes, then there is a feeling that you won't prosecute the major crimes," Higgins said.
Most pressing criminal issue facing the Cape and Islands
Higgins named the ongoing opiate problem as the most pressing problem facing the area. In addition to encouraging police to perform search warrants and confiscate drugs and profits, Higgins said he would also push for more education for children to "warn them about fentanyl and the newer designer drugs that are coming out that are 10 to 20 times more potent than fentanyl."
"We also need to work on encouraging users who end up in court because of a related crime or a possession of a small amount of narcotics. We need to use the court system to encourage them to go to treatment that they've never been to before their lives," Higgins said.
Alden said the most important issue is child abuse, adding it's been exacerbated by COVID-19.
"We've had no eyes on these children ... children in the homes that have nobody there to advocate for them," Alden said.
She also said it's important for the district attorney's office to not plea out cases that have mandatory minimum sentencing requirements.
"We focus so much on the defendants and their rights, we need to focus on victims," Alden said.
First initiative if elected
If elected, Alden said she'd examine the infrastructure of the district attorney's office and whether it is "working in the best way possible."
"I think we have an opportunity to have a high risk violent repeat offender unit where we can actually track these individuals," Alden said.
Higgins said he would meet with a team of prosecutors during the transition period to "hear them out on what they think could or should be changed."
"I think these career prosecutors in this office know how to separate the minor offenses from the serious offenses," Higgins said.

London home of Dadabhai Naoroji gets Blue Plaque honour
That red-brick home now has a plaque which reads Dadabhai Naoroji 1825-1917 Indian Nationalist and MP lived here.Naoroji made seven trips to England and spent over three decades of his long life in London, English Heritage said in a statement.In August 1897 Naoroji moved to Washington House, 72 Anerley Park, Penge, at a time when his thoughts were turning increasingly towards full independence for India, it said.Much of his time here would have been occupied by his work as a member of the Welby Commission, set up by the British government to investigate wasteful spending in India.
- Country:
- United Kingdom
The south London home where Dadabhai Naoroji, a prominent member of the Indian freedom struggle and Britain's first Indian parliamentarian, lived for around eight years at the end of the 19th century has been honoured with a commemorative Blue Plaque.
The Blue Plaque scheme, run by the English Heritage charity, honours the historic significance of particular buildings across London. Naoroji's plaque was unveiled on Wednesday to coincide with the 75th-anniversary celebrations of Indian Independence. Naoroji, often referred to as the "grand old man of India", is reported to have moved to Washington House, 72 Anerley Park, Penge, Bromley, at a time when his thoughts were turning increasingly towards full independence for India in 1897. That red-brick home now has a plaque which reads: "Dadabhai Naoroji 1825-1917 Indian Nationalist and MP lived here".
"Naoroji made seven trips to England and spent over three decades of his long life in London," English Heritage said in a statement.
"In August 1897 Naoroji moved to Washington House, 72 Anerley Park, Penge, at a time when his thoughts were turning increasingly towards full independence for India,'' it said.
''Much of his time here would have been occupied by his work as a member of the Welby Commission, set up by the British government to investigate wasteful spending in India. His key text on drain theory – 'Poverty and Un-British Rule in India' (1901) – was published while he was living here," it noted.
According to records, Washington House functioned as an important centre for the Indian community in London – a place where many Indians were invited and where Indians travelled to if they were in distress or in trouble. Fellow Indian nationalists Romesh Chunder Dutt and Sister Nivedita are known to have been guests at the house.
"Naoroji left the address in 1904 or 1905, making it his longest-standing London residence," English Heritage said.
Born in Mumbai, the prominent Parsi nationalist was an influential political and intellectual force in both India and Britain. Much of his work was underpinned by his so-called "drain theory" of British colonial rule, contending that India was impoverished by an expensive foreign bureaucracy for which it had to pay, and that any benefits from the British presence there were incidental. Drain theory formed the basis of the classic Indian nationalist interpretation of British colonialism, and it is a view that continues to resonate.
Naoroji spent seven spells in England, five of them in London. In 1886, he stood for Parliament in the general election as a Liberal candidate for Holborn in central London, but was defeated in the strongly Conservative constituency. He went on to be elected on a Liberal ticket for the north London constituency of Finsbury Central at the general election of July 1892 – making history as the first Indian to sit in the UK Parliament. There are numerous Indian and Indian-origin historic personalities honoured with a Blue Plaque at homes and buildings closely associated with their time spent in the UK capital, including Mahatma Gandhi and B R Ambedkar. Earlier this year, the Ayahs' Home in the Hackney area of east London, which dates back to 1900-1921 and housed many maids from India and other colonies in South and South-East Asia, received a Blue Plaque.

Community garden planned for neighborhood at Mid-Ohio Farm at NBC4
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — The point of the Mid-Ohio Farm at NBC4 is to address the needs of others. One of the targets of the farm will be the nearly 2,500 people who live in the neighborhood.
Generally, the people who live on Riverview Drive are new Americans from all over the world and Ohio State University students. Typically, they have to deal with transportation barriers. The nearest grocery store is about a mile away.
Imagine carrying all of your weekly groceries that distance. Plus, we’ve all gone home and realized we forgot to grab a couple of items. This distance between the residents on Riverview Drive and a grocer can be overwhelming at times.
‘Edu-farming:’ Volunteer, learn how to grow food vertically“It can be a bit of a far walk for a lot of neighbors that live here,’ said Emily Miller with the Riverview International Center . “This community garden could really benefit from the food insecurity in this neighborhood.”
Some of the people have been creative in growing vegetables they enjoyed from their homeland.
“A lot of our neighbors are trying to grow vegetables in Home Depot buckets on our fence line,” said NBC4 General Manager and Vice President Ken Freedman.
From using buckets to rearranging parking lots, the need for fresh produce is strong in the area. People are using what limited green space that is available to grow food — pots on their patio, cultivating next to the apartment buildings — whatever the landlord allows.
“This is a parking lot. They moved the concrete over and made a triangular part, added dirt, made a barrier showing ‘this is ours,’ and started planting here,” said Riverview International Center Interim Director Diane Linton. “These neighbors over here have used the whole front side and back of any green space they have to make gardens.”
Grand Champion steer sold for record-smashing $225k at Ohio State FairImagine that you’ve moved to another country and have no plans to return home anytime soon. Would you miss your mom’s meatloaf or the local pizza you ordered every weekend? The answer is probably yes. The food they are growing reminds them of home.
“These times mean we have something from our country which means a lot,” said Asana Ferdousin, who is from Bangladesh.
She lived there when she first became a citizen and has since moved to her own house and grows a garden there also.
“When we have the time, we can grow our own type of vegetables. That would be very nice for us to get some fresh country-like vegetables,” Ferguson said.
A section of the Mid-Ohio Farm at NBC4 will have a community garden. The area will provide a place that is controlled and set up specifically for them, not cars and foot traffic. There, residents can grow the produce they choose, whether it’s local or from their home country.

New Timnath and Wellington high schools will field varsity teams, reclaim historic mascots
The bright lights will be shining, pep bands playing and cheerleaders waving pom-poms on the sidelines on Friday nights in Timnath and Wellington this fall for the first time in more than 55 years.
The Timnath Cubs will play their first home game since 1959 when they host Berthoud for their 2022 season opener at 7 p.m. Aug. 26. And the Wellington Eagles will open the season at home Aug. 26 with a 7 p.m. game against Estes Park.
Both high schools closed in the early 1960s, following their consolidation into Poudre School District: Timnath in 1960 and Wellington in 1964. Wellington kids funneled to Poudre High School, while Timnath kids went to Fort Collins High School. They reopen later this month as Timnath Middle-High School and Wellington Middle-High School.
"Wellington's excited about having a football team," coach Travis Peeples said. "... The excitement's in the air. ... The kids are fired up, the town's fired up, and we're ready to go."

Both schools have retained their traditional colors: blue and gold for Timnath; maroon, silver and white for Wellington.
As excited as the two communities are about the opening of the two new middle-high schools, this fall, coaches and administrators know their teams will have an uphill battle to be competitive. Both are opening with only freshmen and sophomores at the high school level, with juniors moving up next year and seniors the following year in the ramp-up to becoming comprehensive four-year high schools.
The Colorado High School Activities Association’s reclassification process takes place on two-year cycles, so Timnath and Wellington had to play varsity sports in 2022-23 if they wanted to play them in 2023-24. District and school administrators chose to make the move sooner rather than later, PSD athletic director Brandon Carlucci said, so that students in their first graduating classes would have the opportunity to play two years of varsity sports instead of just one.
That decision was made before the new schools’ high school athletic directors – Emily Dunn at Timnath and Hilarie Bartling at Wellington – were hired. But it’s one they fully support.
Lytle: Why Poudre School District's 6 football teams should all play in 4A in the future
“Our current 10th-graders, they wouldn’t have been able to play varsity in team sports until their senior year, and that just didn’t feel right,” Dunn said. “We’re looking more at the opportunities a brand-new program offers. It’s a unique opportunity for some sports; they’ll be on varsity from ninth to 12th grade.”
Safety, particularly in football, was a concern, she said. But after meeting and talking to the athletes and their parents, and getting a better feel for their future competition, she and other administrators and coaches were comfortable with the setup.
Athletes at both schools have been involved in summer workouts and camps, working with their new coaches to get ready for the coming season, and that has helped alleviate some of the safety concerns, Bartling said.
Dunn had worked at Fort Collins High School since 2005, teaching for eight years and serving as activities director for the next 11, the last seven as an assistant principal.
Bartling has taught for 19 years, including 13 at PSD’s Boltz Middle School, and has worked as a teaching mentor and coached soccer and softball.

Who will Timnath's and Wellington's competition be?
The two new schools will compete in different divisions of the Patriot League during the 2022-23 and 2023-24 school years. The Patriot League, consisting of schools with total enrollment of 348 to 787 students during the previous classification cycle, is Class 2A in football and 3A in most other sports.
Timnath and Wellington are each designed to eventually accommodate about 1,500 students in grades 6-12 but will have only 300 to 350 high-schoolers among their 850 to 1,000 total students this fall, administrators said.
The original Timnath High School closed in 1960, when the state of Colorado consolidated school districts and Poudre School District was formed. Students who had gone there were then bused to Fort Collins High.
Liberty Common, a PSD charter school in Fort Collins that doesn’t have a football team, also is a member of the Patriot League. Other league members are Berthoud, Brush, Eaton, Estes Park, Frontier Academy (Greeley), Highland (Ault), Platte Valley (Kersey), Resurrection Christian (Loveland), Sterling, Strasburg, University (Greeley), Valley (Gilcrest) and Weld Central (Keenesburg).
Wellington High School, as well as the former Laporte High School, both closed in 1964, when Poudre High opened to take in the students from both schools as well as those in northwest Fort Collins.
“We’ve got kids and families so excited to be able to go to school and play sports in Wellington, and we’ve got a great group of coaches ready to go,” Bartling said.

Which sports and where will Timnath and Wellington teams play?
Each of the new schools each have their own stadiums and athletic facilities, allowing them to host events in most sports.
The new stadium on the west side of Timnath Middle-High School was built to serve all PSD schools to help alleviate scheduling issues at Rocky Mountain’s French Field and Fossil Ridge’s stadium. Timnath’s other athletic fields, including an artificial turf field for football, soccer, lacrosse and field hockey practices, is on the east side of the school’s campus, which is located on the north side of Prospect Road, just east of Interstate 25.
Timnath and Wellington will offer the same array of high school sports programs as Fort Collins, Fossil Ridge, Poudre and Rocky Mountain. They have already hired coaches for all of their fall sports and all but one of their winter and/or spring sports.
They’ll each have their own teams in football, boys golf and wrestling, girls volleyball, boys and girls basketball, cross country, soccer, tennis and track and field.
The new schools will join forces in boys and girls swimming with a team of students from each school competing as Wellington and practicing and holding meets off campus, most likely at Edora Pool Ice Center. They’ll also share a team in girls golf that will compete as Timnath, giving PSD three teams in the sport. (Fort Collins and Fossil Ridge have a combined girls golf team, as does Rocky Mountain and Poudre.)
Students at the new schools will also be able to compete on PSD districtwide teams in boys hockey, boys and girls lacrosse, girls wrestling, boys volleyball and on girls gymnastics teams based at Fort Collins or Rocky Mountain.
The districtwide PSD Stars boys lacrosse team, which has played out of Rocky Mountain in recent years, will move to Timnath, Carlucci said, while the district’s girls lacrosse team will continue to play out of Rocky Mountain.
“We’re excited; it’s going to be a fun year,” Dunn said. “I think we’re going to learn a lot. The coaches are going into it with a really awesome, positive outlook, and for me, as an athletic director, I think athletics is such a cool avenue to build these amazing human beings, and I know all our coaches feel the same.”

A man involved in a stabbing has avoided jail after a judge said the community would be better off if he was released on a community corrections order.
Chaise Whittall, 23, pleaded guilty to a charge of affray over a fight outside Dapto Leagues Club on February 17, 2022.

Whittall and his co-offender Tyson Williams approached the victim outside the leagues club after a disagreement about a car the victim had left with Whittall.
The victim was told by his partner that his car, a Holden SS Commodore, had been "trashed" by Williams while in the possession of Whittall between February and August 2020, police documents state.
Whittall and the victim had run into each other in September 2020 and had a heated conversation.
The victim then arranged a woman to speak to Williams about the car, as he was angry he had not been compensated.
On February 17, as the victim and his partner were leaving Dapto Leagues Club, they passed a group including Williams and Whittall at the entrance to the club.
Whittall, wearing a black hooded jumper, black shorts and a bum bag got into an argument with the victim and then followed the victim and his partner outside the club.
Walking towards the other side of the carpark on Osborne Street, the victim and Whittall faced each other, before Whittall punched the victim in the right side of the face, hitting the man's right ear and temple.
The victim continued to try and leave Whittall behind, walking away from the club carpark, but not before Williams lunged at the victim and stabbed him in the upper arm.
Williams sought treatment in a pharmacy before going to Dapto Medical Centre, where Williams pulled up in a blue hatchback and said to the victim "come on, let's go", documents tendered to court show.
Not responding, the victim went into the medical centre and was referred to Wollongong hospital for treatment for the one-centimetre wound to his arm.
Arriving at the Dapto Leagues Club later, police later found a knife next to a drain and matched blood stains on it to the victim.
After making enquiries, on February 23, the police attended Whittall's address in Berkeley and arrested him.
Whittall told police "I wasn't the one who stabbed him," but was taken into custody.
Sentencing Whittall in Wollongong District Court on Thursday, Justice Andrew Haesler said Whittall would receive more support in the community than in custody, where he had spent 8 months in 2021 for breaching the terms of an intensive corrections order (ICO) for a previous offence.

"The experience of jail has had an impact on him, all reports indicate he will do everything he can to not go back to jail," Justice Haesler said.
Defence barrister Michelle Fernando said the consequences for Whittall had already been "quite severe".
"My submission is that the aggravated factor has been dealt with in the fact of him having to serve that ICO," she said.
Justice Haesler said ensuring Whittall was supervised and assisted in the community was paramount, and a custodial sentence without that would not be in the community or Whittall's interests.
"A custodial may have been warranted, but pragmatism and community interest requires a lesser disposition in this case."
Justice Haesler convicted Whittall, sentencing him to a community corrections order for 12 months and required him to complete 100 hours of community service.

Chelsea could yet splash another £180million before the end of the transfer window as the club continue to chase a number of big-money deals.
Following the arrival of new co-owner Todd Boehly this summer, the Blues have spent around £160m to land Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly, Marc Cucurella and Carney Chukwuemeka.
However, it has still been a disappointing window, with Chelsea missing out on numerous targets.
Following the exits of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen on free transfers, plus the return of Romelu Lukaku to Inter Milan, the Blues were beaten to Raphinha and Jules Kounde by Barcelona.
But with three weeks left to get deals over the line, Chelsea are not done yet.
talkSPORT understands the Premier League giants are pushing to sign Frenkie de Jong, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Wesley Fofana and Cesare Casadei.
Manchester United have spent three months trying to sign De Jong and agreed a £72m deal with Barcelona, but Chelsea are now confident of hijacking the move.
However, the Dutch midfielder is still owed £17m in deferred wages and Barca’s ongoing financial situation could yet cause a stumbling block.
talkSPORT transfer guru Alex Crook said: “Chelsea are confident of agreeing a fee with Barcelona for De Jong, a player who has been on Man United’s radar since the beginning of May.
“That’s when negotiations started. If United don’t get this deal done, that’s embarrassing.
“It’s embarrassing for John Murtough and Richard Arnold, two big wigs at United who flew over to Spain to get the deal done a few weeks ago.
“If De Jong ends up at a Premier League rival, I think United lose a lot of face.
“I was told we should know more on De Jong in the next 24 hours, progress will be made today.”
Meanwhile, Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is pushing to sign his ex-Borussia Dortmund striker Aubameyang, who only left Arsenal for the Nou Camp in January.
With the 33-year-old no longer part of Barca’s plans following the signing of Robert Lewandowski, it is understood the Blues could snap him up for around £12m and Tuchel wants Boehly to formalise the club’s interest with a bid.
However, there will be nothing cut-price about Chelsea’s move for Leicester defender Wesley Fofana.
After two bids for the French centre-back were rejected, the latest worth in excess of £70m, the Blues are expected to table £85m, which would represent a world-record fee for a defender.
Crook added: “It’s been a difficult summer for Chelsea. But you can’t accuse Todd Boehly of lacking ambition.
“They’re still very keen to sign Fofana, we are expected a world-record bid for a centre-back.”
Finally, Chelsea are also being linked with a £12m move for Inter Milan’s highly-rated midfielder Cesare Casadei.
The 19-year-old Italian is also rumoured to be on Arsenal’s radar.

BETHESDA, Md., Aug. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- In a constantly shifting and uncertain economic environment, Walker & Dunlop's growing New York Capital Markets team continues to build momentum as it guides its clients in securing various types of financings for all asset classes. In the past 30 days, the team closed more than $1 billion in capital markets activity across the country.
Led by Aaron Appel, Keith Kurland, Jonathan Schwartz, and Adam Schwartz, the group provides the expertise and relationships within the market to assist clients with their financing needs. Their success in this volatile capital markets landscape reflects their multi-faceted ability to source aggressive capital from virtually every type of lender and equity provider in today's marketplace.
"We live in times of uncertainty, but it doesn't mean we need to sit on the sidelines. Despite continued market volatility and a more conservative financing landscape, our team's expertise up and down the capital stack has allowed us to continue closing complex transactions for our clients across the country," said Aaron Appel. "Our expertise and deep relationships with the market's most active lenders and equity providers has allowed us to stay ahead of the curve and tailor financing solutions specific to our clients' unique business plans and needs."
Select recent transactions include:
- The Brook - $388 million: Walker & Dunlop structured financing from Bank of America for The Brook located at 565 and 547-557 Fulton Street, a development consisting of 448,000 rentable square feet of luxury, mixed-use multifamily and retail space located at the cross-section of Fulton Street, Flatbush Avenue Extension, and DeKalb Avenue in Downtown Brooklyn. The unique bookending development is located next to some of Brooklyn's most popular thoroughfares, just steps from the Fulton Mall, and a 5-minute walk from the Barclays Center.
- 452 Fifth Avenue - $385 million: Walker & Dunlop stepped in after a proposed sale fell through in May to arrange a refinance on behalf of the property's owner, PBC. The team quickly identified JP Morgan Chase as the optimal lender to secure a floating rate refinance of the 885,000-square-foot office property. The financing will enable PBC to retire existing debt and fund future capital expenditure and leasing costs as they reposition the asset.
- 100 Church Street - $370 million: The team arranged a floating rate refinancing for SL Green Realty Corp, selecting Aareal Capital as the lender after an extensive marketing process. With the City of New York as its anchor tenant, the Lower Manhattan property offers over one million square feet of office space at the intersection of TriBeCa and the Financial District.
- 95 Morton Street - $155 million: Walker & Dunlop arranged financing for Meadow Partners' acquisition of the property with Deutsche Pfandbriefbank AG as the lender. Built in 1911, the West Village property is home to tenants such as Venmo, Paypal, Integral Ad Science, and Fanatics, a rapidly growing e-sports company that plans to occupy 75,000 square feet of the 220,000-square-foot building.
- 130 Fifth Avenue - $77 million: As the exclusive advisor to Olnick Organization, Walker & Dunlop arranged loan proceeds from New York Community Bank to refinance 130 Fifth Avenue, a well-located boutique office building in the center of Flatiron District. Standing 11 stories tall, the property is just a few blocks from Union Square Park, Gramercy Park, and Madison Square Park and has benefitted from the limited supply of Class-A office space in the immediate submarket, resulting in a tenancy base with long-term leases and strong economics. The seven-year loan originated includes four years of interest-only payments.
"I want to congratulate the New York team on their recent success and know that the momentum will continue, considering their robust pipeline. As we continue to expand our capital markets team and capabilities, we offer our clients deep relationships with more than 350 capital sources across the country including banks, insurance companies, alternative lending sources and commercial mortgage-backed securities conduits," said Susan Mello, Executive Vice President & Group Head, Capital Markets Walker & Dunlop.

Indiana funeral set for GOP Rep. Walorski killed in crash
GRANGER, Ind. (AP) - The funeral for Indiana Republican U.S. Rep. Jackie Walorski will be held Thursday in her home state of Indiana, where she and three other people were killed in a head-on highway crash.
The funeral is scheduled to start at 11 a.m. at Granger Community Church, Palmer Funeral Homes said on its website.
Walorski, who was 58, was in an SUV with two members of her staff on Aug. 3 when it crossed the median of a northern Indiana highway for unknown reasons and collided with an oncoming vehicle near the town of Wakarusa, the Elkhart County Sheriff’s Office said.
Walorski, her 27-year-old staffer Zachery Potts of Mishawaka, who was driving, and her 28-year-old communications director, Emma Thomson of Washington, D.C., all died, as did the woman who was driving the vehicle struck by their SUV.
Potts was Walorski’s district director and the Republican chairman for northern Indiana’s St. Joseph County.
Walorski was first elected to represent northern Indiana’s 2nd Congressional District in 2012 and was seeking reelection this year in the solidly Republican district.
Walorski’s husband, Dean Swihart, said in a statement Wednesday that he was “touched by the support and kindness” the family has received since her death.
“Her loss leaves a massive void in our family, our community and in Congress,” Swihart said. “Our family remains focused solely on celebrating Jackie’s memory and mourning her loss as she returns home to be with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.”
Republican Gov. Eric Holcomb has set a special election to fill the remainder of Walorski’s current term running through the rest of this year for the same date as the Nov. 8 general election.
Under Indiana law, it will be up to local Republican officials to decide nominations for the special election and to replace Walorski on the ballot for the full two-year term. The state Republican Party has scheduled an Aug. 20 caucus meeting for those selections. No Republican candidates have yet announced for the seat.

BEIJING (AP) — China on Wednesday criticized a U.S. law to encourage processor chip production in the United States and reduce reliance on Asian suppliers as a threat to trade and an attack on Chinese business.
The law signed this week by President Joe Biden promises $52 billion in grants and other aid to investors in U.S. chip factories. It responds in part to warnings that supplies might be disrupted if China attacks Taiwan, which produces up to 90% of high-end chips. China’s ruling Communist Party claims the self-ruled island as part of its territory.
The measure will “disrupt international trade and distort global semiconductor supply chains,” said a Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Wang Wenbin. “China firmly opposes that.”
Parts of the law “restrict companies’ normal investment and economic and trade activities in China,” Wang said, without giving details.
Disruption in chip supplies following the coronavirus pandemic hampered production of goods from smartphones to autos and highlighted the world’s reliance on Taiwanese chips and Chinese factories that assemble most electronic devices.
Fears of disruption have been heightened by Chinese threats to attack Taiwan, which split with the mainland in 1949 after a civil war.
Beijing launched military drills around the island last week in retaliation for a visit by Speaker Nancy Pelosi of the U.S. House of Representatives. China believes visits by American officials to Taiwan might encourage its leaders to make its de facto independence permanent, a step the mainland says would lead to war.
The “CHIPS and Science Act” calls for research spending that would total about $200 billion over 10 years, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
The Communist Party has spent tens of billions of dollars developing China’s own chip production industry. Its factories make low-end chips for autos and other products but cannot supply high-end smartphones and other devices. | https://www.cbs17.com/business/ap-business/china-criticizes-us-chip-law-as-threat-to-trade/ | 2022-08-11T10:44:12Z | https://www.cbs17.com/business/ap-business/china-criticizes-us-chip-law-as-threat-to-trade/ | false | 42 |
Fizz, bang pop! When it comes to happiness in a glass, you can’t go wrong with bubbles.
A steady stream of tiny beads cascading into crystalware seems to always fit the bill – and brighten up any party.
From mood-enhancing budget-friendly bubbly to artisan champagne – and a few corkers along the way – here’s what to have on standby this summer…
1. Crémant de Loire Rosé Brut, Loire, France, £9.99, Lidl, in-store
With an impressive 90 points (outstanding) from Lidl’s master of wine, this crémant is a great alternative to champagne – and what a beauty from the romantic Loire Valley. A beguiling ballet slipper pink, attractive strawberry aromas combine with delicate red fruits, followed by a fine mousse with delicious depth and touches of creamy cherry fruit. Love at first sip.
2. Gentle Riot Sparkling Rosé 2021, Bordeaux, France, £14.99, Laithwaites
A shimmering, salmon pink sparkle from the red wine capital of the world – and crowned with a cap. Made from merlot, there’s definitely grapey fruit notes on the nose with hints of herbs, while the core of fresh strawberry and redcurrant fruit coasts effortlessly along, with a touches of lemon sherbet on the finish. Lots of fun and enticingly different.
3. Bird in Hand Sparkling Rosé Wine, Australia, £16, Tesco
The third rosé on our list, and just as playful, baby pink is the colour to sink this summer. Full of strawberry-scented, cherry charm with blossomy, citrusy aromas, it’s soft and rounded with beautifully balanced acidity and sunny deliciousness. Easy drinking, think a dreamy outdoor sun-trap with climbing roses, deckchair and smoked salmon sarnie.
4. Asquith Gardens Traditional English Sparkling Wine, £16.50, Asda
A delicious introduction to British bubbly, here we have a pretty pale fizz with a flourish of honeysuckle, ripe apples and zesty lime on the nose, similar flavours unfold with a lively character, biscuity note and delightfully crisp finish. One for classic cucumber sandwiches.
5. Graham Beck Blanc de Blancs 2017, South Africa, £19.99, Majestic
South Africa excels when it comes to fizz – and you know you’re on to a winner when you pull back the foil wrapping – aka the ‘coiffe’ – and the message reads: ‘Celebrate what matters’.
From the inviting, biscuity nose laced with zesty limes and juicy pears which carries through on the palate, to the yeasty complexity complimenting the green apple flavours, hint of spice and refreshing, long finish, this chardonnay more than delivers. A party pleaser for sure.
6. Bottega Gold Prosecco, Italy, with Gift Box, £24, Moonpig
There are countless proseccos out there, but if you want to gift someone (or yourself) a showy Italian for a taste of la dolce vita, Bottega Gold’s right on point. With classic notes of honeysuckle, pear and white peach, accented with delicate florals, this striking looking sparkle will bring more than a level of luxury to any soirée – a prosecco that sings from the glass.
7. Champagne William Saintot Blanc De Noirs Premier Cru, France, £38, Sip Champagnes
An exciting new release from Sip, the drinks business specialist online retailer of the year 2022, this artisan champagne has landed on our shores for the first time. A shimmering rose gold, it’s intensely aromatic and offers glorious red fruit aromas (it’s made from pinot noir) with a thread of cassis, wonderful fruit presence and real drive mid-palate, with a persistent, long finish. A very competitive price for a grower champagne (made and bottled by the same people who tend the grapes) and something so niche.

BETHESDA, Md., Aug. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- In a constantly shifting and uncertain economic environment, Walker & Dunlop's growing New York Capital Markets team continues to build momentum as it guides its clients in securing various types of financings for all asset classes. In the past 30 days, the team closed more than $1 billion in capital markets activity across the country.
Led by Aaron Appel, Keith Kurland, Jonathan Schwartz, and Adam Schwartz, the group provides the expertise and relationships within the market to assist clients with their financing needs. Their success in this volatile capital markets landscape reflects their multi-faceted ability to source aggressive capital from virtually every type of lender and equity provider in today's marketplace.
"We live in times of uncertainty, but it doesn't mean we need to sit on the sidelines. Despite continued market volatility and a more conservative financing landscape, our team's expertise up and down the capital stack has allowed us to continue closing complex transactions for our clients across the country," said Aaron Appel. "Our expertise and deep relationships with the market's most active lenders and equity providers has allowed us to stay ahead of the curve and tailor financing solutions specific to our clients' unique business plans and needs."
Select recent transactions include:
- The Brook - $388 million: Walker & Dunlop structured financing from Bank of America for The Brook located at 565 and 547-557 Fulton Street, a development consisting of 448,000 rentable square feet of luxury, mixed-use multifamily and retail space located at the cross-section of Fulton Street, Flatbush Avenue Extension, and DeKalb Avenue in Downtown Brooklyn. The unique bookending development is located next to some of Brooklyn's most popular thoroughfares, just steps from the Fulton Mall, and a 5-minute walk from the Barclays Center.
- 452 Fifth Avenue - $385 million: Walker & Dunlop stepped in after a proposed sale fell through in May to arrange a refinance on behalf of the property's owner, PBC. The team quickly identified JP Morgan Chase as the optimal lender to secure a floating rate refinance of the 885,000-square-foot office property. The financing will enable PBC to retire existing debt and fund future capital expenditure and leasing costs as they reposition the asset.
- 100 Church Street - $370 million: The team arranged a floating rate refinancing for SL Green Realty Corp, selecting Aareal Capital as the lender after an extensive marketing process. With the City of New York as its anchor tenant, the Lower Manhattan property offers over one million square feet of office space at the intersection of TriBeCa and the Financial District.
- 95 Morton Street - $155 million: Walker & Dunlop arranged financing for Meadow Partners' acquisition of the property with Deutsche Pfandbriefbank AG as the lender. Built in 1911, the West Village property is home to tenants such as Venmo, Paypal, Integral Ad Science, and Fanatics, a rapidly growing e-sports company that plans to occupy 75,000 square feet of the 220,000-square-foot building.
- 130 Fifth Avenue - $77 million: As the exclusive advisor to Olnick Organization, Walker & Dunlop arranged loan proceeds from New York Community Bank to refinance 130 Fifth Avenue, a well-located boutique office building in the center of Flatiron District. Standing 11 stories tall, the property is just a few blocks from Union Square Park, Gramercy Park, and Madison Square Park and has benefitted from the limited supply of Class-A office space in the immediate submarket, resulting in a tenancy base with long-term leases and strong economics. The seven-year loan originated includes four years of interest-only payments.
"I want to congratulate the New York team on their recent success and know that the momentum will continue, considering their robust pipeline. As we continue to expand our capital markets team and capabilities, we offer our clients deep relationships with more than 350 capital sources across the country including banks, insurance companies, alternative lending sources and commercial mortgage-backed securities conduits," said Susan Mello, Executive Vice President & Group Head, Capital Markets Walker & Dunlop.
In 2021, the Walker & Dunlop Capital Markets segment sourced over 1,300 loans and equity investments totaling nearly $30 billion from non-GSE capital providers. This vast experience has made them a top adviser on all asset classes for many of the industry's top developers, owners, and operators.

EXTON, Pa., Aug. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. (NYSE: WST), a global leader in innovative solutions for injectable drug administration, today announced it has made a strategic investment in Latch Medical, a Dublin-based leader in next-generation vaccine and biologics delivery technology that is pioneering a new approach to intradermal delivery.
"West's investment in Latch Medical advances our leadership in innovation through a dedicated focus on the needs of patients," says Robert Segura, Vice President, Corporate Development, West Pharmaceutical Services. "The methods by which medicines are delivered to patients continue to evolve to meet their desire for ease-of-use and effectiveness. Latch Medical's innovative intradermal-delivery technology fits well into this strategy."
West joins Latch Medical's existing investors Atlantic Bridge and Enterprise Ireland. West will take a minority ownership stake in Latch Medical.
Latch Medical's Pharma Latch technology offers two delivery device platforms that allow for intradermal delivery of vaccines and biologics with rapid, consistent dosing. The technology anchors securely to the skin and uses either hollow or coated microneedles to deliver and disperse vaccine and biologics payloads. The technology is a low-cost platform that can facilitate higher payloads than microneedle technologies developed in the past. It requires minimal training for clinicians to use.
"We have put our extensive experience of skin biomechanics and understanding of the challenges of intradermal delivery into the development of Pharma Latch. It is a novel technology that can replace traditional injections and infusions and look to realize the potential of intradermal delivery," said Ronan Byrne, CEO, Latch. "With this investment from West, we can rapidly increase the impact of our technology."
As evidenced by the investment in Latch Medical, West continues to make startup investments in the medical device space to create and advance offerings that allow for care to be delivered more effectively and efficiently.
"West's commitment to making these types of investments help to drive innovation that results in providing total care through better outcomes and supports innovative technologies that serve patients," said Segura.
West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. is a leading provider of innovative, high-quality injectable solutions and services. As a trusted partner to established and emerging drug developers, West helps ensure the safe, effective containment and delivery of life-saving and life-enhancing medicines for patients. With approximately 10,000 team members across 50 sites worldwide, West helps support our customers by delivering over 45 billion components and devices each year.
Headquartered in Exton, Pennsylvania, and in business for nearly a century, West in its fiscal year 2021 generated $2.83 billion in net sales. West is traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: WST) and is included on the Standard & Poor's 500 index. For more information, visit www.westpharma.com.
Latch Medical was spun out of University College Dublin by its co-Founders Ronan Byrne and Nicky Bertollo in 2019.

Cleveland Browns' Demetric Felton Jr. applies father's military values to football
BEREA — During the three years he was stationed in Hawaii, Demetric Felton Sr. impressed upon his son the sacrifices of those who died in the attack on Pearl Harbor.
A Navy chaplain for 20 years, Felton Sr. performed ceremonies to commemorate the Dec. 7, 1941 anniversary of Japan’s surprise air assault on the U.S. Pacific Fleet. But some survivors of that day asked to be cremated and interred with their ship, and the elder Felton handled that duty as well.
When he was about 9 years old, Felton Jr., a Browns wide receiver and running back, occasionally joined his dad to witness those emotional moments. Such visits cemented the Felton family’s commitment to the military that continues to grow.
“Demetric went with me a couple times and we would talk about the history and the names of those who died,” Felton Sr. said. “He knew all about that.”
Military service runs deep in the Feltons’ blood. Felton Sr. joined the Navy at 18. He earned his bachelor’s degree, then master's in divinity. He was based for two years in Memphis, Tennessee, moved the family to Hawaii and finished his career in San Diego, where he completed 22 years of active duty at the Marine recruiting depot. While his children were growing up, Felton Sr. was sometimes at sea for six months at a time aboard the USS Peleliu, the first ship to deploy Marines in Afghanistan after 9/11.
Felton Jr.’s sister Devonaye, 22, joined the Marine Corps out of high school, is based at Air Station Miramar and just re-upped for her second four-year tour of duty, this time as a drill instructor. Felton Sr. said Monday that his daughter Demesha, 27, was heading to the recruiting station Tuesday to join the Marines.
“Originally I wanted to go into the military, too, until football started to become more of a reality and more of a passion for me,” Felton said in a one-on-one interview with the Beacon Journal on Friday.
Felton jumped at the chance to become one of three players who traveled to Alaska in March on an NFL-USO tour to visit U.S. troops and their families. Also participating were Denver Broncos fullback and tight end Andrew Beck and Indianapolis Colts cornerback Kenny Moore II.
“We had a little camp for the kids and they were able to do football drills,” Felton said. “It reminded me of being a kid on base and when football players would come how excited we would get, just how that inspired me. Being able to pay it forward was really huge for me.”
The trio flew into Fairbanks and spent a week stopping at several bases. They spent time with a K-9 unit and learned about the Space Force.
“If any foreign country was trying to send missiles, they’re in charge of identifying those targets and take them out before they reach America,” Felton said of the Space Force. “It was very fascinating to see the technology and the attention to detail that they have to have in their job. They have to stay up so long. It made me more appreciative.”
A sixth-round draft pick out of UCLA in 2021, Felton learned a similar attention to detail from his father.
“I have no one to thank but my parents for that, especially my dad. He instilled in me discipline, having a good work ethic, the importance of hard work,” Felton said of his father and mother, Lennette.
Those values will be an asset as Felton tries to make the 53-man roster. His role is likely to increase after the Browns lost Pro Bowl receiver and return man Jakeem Grant Sr. to a season-ending torn Achilles on Tuesday. Felton said he'd spent the bulk of his time at receiver in training camp even before Grant was hurt.
Zakiya's prediction comes true:Why Browns' Greg Newsome II had older sister move in: 'I'm trying to be more of a pro'
Growing up, one phrase from his dad — “Preparation plus opportunity equals greatness” — always stuck in Felton’s mind.
“That’s something I’ve taken with me my whole football career and tried to apply that every day,” Felton said. “Even when I’m away from the football field, just any way I can stay ahead of the game by studying a lot, studying my opponents, even studying my teammates so I can have success against them on the practice field.”
Demetric Felton studies Cleveland Browns teammates' weaknesses to excel in practice
Browns special teams coordinator Mike Priefer, a former U.S. Navy helicopter pilot who has coached in the NFL for 20 years, had never heard of a player studying his teammates.
“Coaches will do that, they’ll put guys in positions to be successful. But I’ve never heard of a player doing that, that’s kind of cool,” Priefer said Sunday.
“I’m a big Demetric fan. Demetric’s got that competitive greatness about him, the work ethic, the discipline, the come to work every day with a purpose. A lot of that has to do with how he was raised in that military environment. I’ve met his father. Great guy.”
Felton Sr. did not seem surprised by what his son is doing to prepare for practice.
“Like military, you’ve got to study your enemy. When it comes to tactical stuff, you’ve got to know your opponent, know their weaknesses and know their strengths,” the elder Felton said in a phone call Monday from his home in Temecula, California. “Military, we’re always thinking about the mission and how can we win. We always taught him that’s part of your preparation, not only knowing what you do best, but studying your opponent.”

The Browns could also value more of what Felton's father taught his son. Felton Sr. said he stressed accountability and integrity. When Felton started playing Pop Warner at age 7 in Hawaii, he told him team bonding, commitment and structure is key.
“He wanted to play tackle football, he didn’t want to play flag,” Felton Sr. said. “I told him, ‘Once we sign you up you can’t quit. Life gets hard. You don’t want to quit because those traits will follow you throughout your adult life. Just prepare for the opportunity and make the most of it and if you do well, you will do great things in life.’ That’s what me and his mom have instilled in all our children.”
Dad taught Demetric Felton to connect, speak from the heart
Felton Sr. also wanted his children to experience the culture in Hawaii, so Felton played football in the community, not on the base. He wanted them to be well-rounded and know how to interact with others.
“I always told them, ‘When you talk to people, make sure you look them in the eyes and tell the truth. You speak from the heart and people will receive that,’” Felton Sr. said.
That came in handy during Felton’s NFL-USO trip. While he hopes to make another such visit and would like to take part in military appreciation events in Cleveland, he made a connection with an Air Force pilot and his son while in Alaska.
Quarterback speaks in coach-like detail:'You get some perspective': Browns' No. 3 QB Josh Dobbs gains different feel from sideline
“He was giving us a tour and showing us what he did and it was so interesting to me, the attention to detail and everything,” Felton said. “Afterward he was saying how his son was a huge Browns fan and he was going to bring him over to the camp. He did.
“I ended up having a great time with his son, just playing football with him. Seeing his passion for it really brought joy to me. He was 9 or 10. He had some skills for his age. I hope that I’m able to bring him out to a game somehow.”
That could be difficult. While the father and Felton followed each other on social media, the pilot was about to move to Europe.
That friendship and what Felton took from the Alaska trip was what his father expected.
“I knew he would have a good time at a USO,” Felton Sr. said. “’Go and experience that and go and give our brave men and women some joy. Just encourage them, they need that.’”
Felton surely did, leaning on his father’s advice to speak from the heart.

Ukraine wants donors to give more money to ‘stop Russia’
COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on Western nations Thursday to provide more money to help Ukraine’s military keep fighting nearly 5½ months after Russia invaded its neighbor.
“The sooner we stop Russia, the sooner we can feel safe,” Zelenskyy said while addressing defense leaders at a Denmark conference aimed at strengthening financing for weapons, training and demining work in his country.
“We need armaments, munitions for our defense,” he added, speaking via a live link from Ukraine.
The conference in Copenhagen is a follow-up to an April meeting at a U.S. air base in Germany that established the U.S.-led Ukraine Defense Contact Group, which coordinates international military support for Ukraine.
Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov, who attended the conference in Denmark’s capital, told journalists that acquiring more fighter planes is the country’s priority right now.
“In the first stage, we need fighters. After that, demining,” Reznikov said.
Denmark is co-hosting the daylong conference in Copenhagen with Britain and Ukraine. British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace said the goal of the event was securing “concrete steps.”
He announced that Britain says it will send more multiple launch rocket systems and guided missiles to Ukraine to help it resist Russia’s invasion.
The new weapons, whose number wasn’t specified, come on top of several rocket-launch systems given by Britain to Ukraine earlier this year. Ukrainian troops have been trained in Britain to use them.
“Our continued support sends a very clear message, Britain and the international community remain opposed to this illegal war and will stand shoulder-to-shoulder, providing defensive military aid to Ukraine to help them defend against Putin’s invasion,” Wallace said.
Before the conference started, the Danish government said it would give Ukraine an extra 820 million kroner ($113 million), which would bring Denmark’s total contribution to the war effort to more than 3 billion kroner ($413 million). Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen called it “a huge donation.”
Part of the money would pay for 130 Danish troops to help train Ukrainian forces in Britain over the coming months.
“We will not let you down,” Frederiksen said as she opened the conference.
Norwegian Defense Minister Bjørn Arild Gram said there was still unwavering Western support for Ukraine.
“There still is a very strong support to help Ukraine, also on the long run. It is decisive for Ukraine to be able to defend itself against the Russian attack,” Arild Gram said.
The Kyiv School of Economics released a report Wednesday assessing the cost of war damage to Ukraine’s infrastructure at more than $110 billion. The report said 304 bridges and more than 900 health care facilities were either destroyed or damaged.

ROME (AP) — Pope Francis has met with a fourth group of transgender people who found shelter at a Rome church, the Vatican newspaper reported Thursday.
L’Osservatore Romano said the encounter took place Wednesday on the sidelines of Francis’ weekly general audience. The newspaper quoted Sister Genevieve Jeanningros and the Rev. Andrea Conocchia as saying the pope's welcome brought their guests hope.
The Blessed Immaculate Virgin community in the Torvaianica neighborhood on Rome’s outskirts opened its doors to transgender people during the coronavirus pandemic.
Francis previously met with some of them on April 27, June 22 and Aug. 3, the newspaper said.
“No one should encounter injustice or be thrown away, everyone has dignity of being a child of God,” the paper quoted Sister Jeanningros as saying.
Francis has earned praise from some members of the LBGTQ community for his outreach. When asked in 2013 about a purportedly gay priest, he replied, “Who am I to judge?” He has met individually and in groups with transgender people over the course of his pontificate.
But he has strongly opposed “gender theory” and has not changed church teaching that holds that homosexual acts are “intrinsically disordered.” In 2021, he allowed publication of a Vatican document asserting that the Catholic Church cannot bless same-sex unions since “God cannot bless sin.”
Recently, Francis wrote a letter praising the initiative of a Jesuit-run ministry for LGBTQ Catholics, called Outreach. The online resource is run by the Rev. James Martin, author of “Building a Bridge,” a book about the need for the church to better welcome and minister to LGBTQ Catholics.
Francis praised a recent Outreach event at New York’s Jesuit-run Fordham University, and encouraged organizers “to keep working in the culture of encounter, which shortens the distances and enriches us with differences, in the same manner of Jesus, who made himself close to everyone.” | https://www.milfordmirror.com/news/article/Pope-Francis-meets-transgender-guests-of-Rome-17366363.php | 2022-08-11T11:26:12Z | https://www.milfordmirror.com/news/article/Pope-Francis-meets-transgender-guests-of-Rome-17366363.php | true | 36 |

Oklahoma City plumber emphasizes the importance of fresh, clean water
OKLAHOMA CITY, Aug. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Champion Plumbing, a leading provider of plumbing services to the Oklahoma City area, understands the importance of having fresh clean water. In recognition of National Water Quality Month, Champion is providing tips to Oklahoma City homeowners for keeping the city's water supply clean.
"It's easy for us to go inside and grab a glass of water or take a hot shower without issues, but that wouldn't be possible without clean water," said Brent Harpole, owner of Champion Plumbing. "While this is a privilege for us, there are many other places around the world that don't get that luxury. By joining others in recognizing August as National Water Quality Month, we can take time to emphasize how vital it is to protect our freshwater supply and minimize waste."
There are a couple of things that homeowners can do to minimize negative effects on clean water. Reducing the number of chemicals used daily is one option for residents. While drains may get clogged from time to time, harmful chemicals often used to clear drains can make their way into lakes and rivers. Opting for natural solutions can be an environmentally friendly alternative for solving the problem.
Using a car wash as opposed to an at-home alternative is another simple step for protecting water quality. Chemicals used to clean cars can be flushed into nearby storm drains, which lead to fresh bodies of water. In addition to limiting chemicals, using a car wash can help reduce water waste inside a home.
"Water is not a limitless resource," Harpole said. "It is important to protect the water that we have available to us. That's why National Water Quality Month is important. Increasing awareness and taking simple steps to reduce pollution can have long-term positive effects on our water quality by keeping it safer for the next generation."

Study on serotonin and depression sparks fierce debate
Issued on: Modified:
Paris (AFP) – A controversy in the scientific community over a recent claims anti-depressants can be ineffective at treating depression has highlighted the difficulties in understanding mental health conditions.
One of the prevailing theories currently focuses on serotonin. Depression has been linked to a lack of the molecule, which is involved in transmitting emotions to the brain.
Claims that depression has no link to a chemical imbalance in the brain related to serotonin, casting doubt on the need for anti-depressants, have sparked fierce reaction.
A study by psychiatrists Joanna Moncrieff and Mark Horowitz in the journal Molecular Psychiatry in July concluded that there was no proven link between a lack of serotonin and depression.
The authors said it queried the underlying assumption behind the use of anti-depressants, which are mostly developed to alter serotonin levels, undoing a theory that for decades acted as a framework for research.
The study is based on several previous publications, but it quickly attracted criticism -- particularly its presentation by Moncrieff, known for her scepticism towards biological explanations of depression and her radical stance against the pharmaceutical industry.
"I'm broadly in agreement with the authors' conclusions about our current efforts, though I lack their adamantine certainty," psychiatrist Phil Cowen said on the Science Media Centre website.
"No mental health professional" would endorse the view that a complex condition like depression "stems from a deficiency in a single neurotransmitter", Cowen added.
'Mainstream' psychiatry
Some peers have questioned the methodology, which measured an indirect trace of serotonin rather than taking direct measurements of the molecule.
Moncrieff, who wants to break with what she calls "mainstream" psychiatry, believes the serotonin theory still occupies an important, albeit less prominent, place in the profession.
"Even if leading psychiatrists were beginning to doubt the evidence for depression being related to low serotonin, no one told the public," the British psychiatrist wrote on her blog.
#photo1The connection between depression and serotonin is firmly rooted in the popular imagination. French author Michel Houellebecq gave the title "Serotonin" to his 2019 novel in which the main character is depressed.
Moncrieff's undermining of the serotonin theory to argue against current anti-depressants, going beyond the conclusions of her own study, has sparked the most vehement criticism.
Swiss psychiatrist Michel Hofmann told AFP her study was "serious" and contributed to expert debates about depression.
"But I don't think it is an article that should have any impact in the short term on the prescription of anti-depressants," he said.
Moncrieff has warned that anti-depressant treatment should not be suddenly interrupted. But for her, the benefits of a course of anti-depressants are doubtful if it is based on a discredited theory.
But many stress that the effectiveness of the treatments has been scientifically assessed, irrespective of the primary cause of depression.
The medicines used to treat depression "are usually many and ultimately, in most cases, we don't know what exactly makes a treatment effective", Hofmann added.
Debates on the role of serotonin only illustrate how difficult it is to understand the biological and social workings of an illness as complex as depression.
The challenges are forcing researchers to move away from models that are incomplete by their very nature.
"We are still at theories and we continue to search and test models against each other," Hofmann said.

You can easily fork out a small fortune keeping the kids entertained during the school holidays.
You don’t need to splash the cash to make memories that kids will treasure.
Here, we’ve rounded up a few cheap-as-chips ideas that your little ones are guaranteed to love – and you don’t have to go any further than your garden or the park.
1. Picnic with a twist
Who doesn’t love a picnic? That boring old ham sandwich is suddenly transformed when it’s eaten al fresco. Just mix it up. Knock up a loosely-themed picnic, like superheroes, Harry Potter or pirates, where you dress up.
A surprise pyjama breakfast picnic will win parents and grandparents plenty of brownie points. Take them outside or pack them up as soon as they’re awake for breakfast and a play in the park. Getting dressed is always the hard bit, anyway. And the bonus is you miss the crowds and it’s cooler.
Here are some fab easy picnic foods to make with the kids the day before, like mini milkshakes and Spanish sausage rolls: bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/collection/picnic-recipes-kids-recipes
2. Go geocaching
This is basically treasure hunting with GPS and is good for getting teens off screens, as well as being fun for younger kids. Participants use their mobile phones, along with other navigating techniques, to hide and seek containers called “geocaches”, or “caches”, marked by coordinates at precise locations all over the world.
It is a great way to teach kids how to read a map, fill them in on local geography and improve their observational skills. Find out more here: geocaching.com/play
3. Make a fairy/Star Wars/Lego/Octonauts/dinosaur/Zen garden
Get an old flower pot or plastic seed or paint tray. Fill it with soil and use a mixture or stones, pebbles, small plants and decorations to make hills, mounds and hidey-holes. Then, have a roarsome time placing your plastic T-Rexes in the landscape – or maybe a Darth Vader figure if your creation is more of a Force to be reckoned with.
4. Mud kitchen
No, not what your kitchen looks like after your teens have been in there but an upgrade on the old mud-pies special. If you’re feeling handy you could make a mud kitchen using old pallets from a garden centre.
You’ll need one for the back and one for the sides, and a length of wood to make the top. Add a “sink” using an old bowl, add hooks for utensils and stirrers and let the kids run riot. It will keep them outside and entertained for hours. Just search for “How to make a mud kitchen tutorial” on YouTube.
5. Act out your kids’ favourite books
What are your little ones’ best-loved stories? Smaller ones might love We’re Going on a Bear Hunt by Michael Rosen. Take their soft toys on an adventure, swishy-swashying through the long grass in the park or splash-sploshing as you run through the hose. Make a scary cave with sheets and a clothes airer, and hide their bear.
If they’re older, maybe they could be Alex Rider and you could set them a challenge to find the “villain”: can they spot the object or person you have in mind with 10 ‘yes or no’ questions?
6. Find a bandstand concert
Many bigger parks host free brass band concerts over the summer, usually at the weekend. Check out if you’ve got one near you and take the kids for a boogie. Your council website will have a list of any free events.
7. Treespotting
“What kind of tree is that?” If all you can do is mumble “Er, a big brown one” when your kids ask you that, here’s the chance to find out more. All trees have clues and features, you just need to know what you’re looking for, says The Woodland Trust.
The Trust has top tips on just that and you don’t need to be David Attenborough. Download its British tree identification app or try the PictureThis app, which has a free seven-day trial. Visit woodlandtrust.org.uk/trees-woods-and-wildlife/british-trees/how-to-identify-trees/
8. Spread Love rocks
The kids will love this. Paint a stone with any picture or message you like. Write “Spread love rocks, keep or re-hide” on the back, then leave it in the park, on a bench, hidden in the playground or flower garden, wherever. The idea is to make the finder smile. Finders can post their treasures to the Spread Love Rocks Facebook page.
Your little one can wait to see if someone finds theirs and posts it on the page, fingers crossed. “Keep it going and growing… Making a smile is free,” say the group’s organisers. “There is no wrong art, all art on a rock will bring a smile. If we never see our stone posted, we’re sure it’s being loved.”
9. Make a time capsule and bury it in the garden
You can include all kinds of things, like photos, toys, letters – maybe a Daily Mirror, nudge nudge? It’s a fun way to connect and find out what your kids think is important and what they would like to tell future generations about their life.
This is a great one for chatting about your own childhood with the kids, too. What would we have put in ours? The mind boogles…
a Bay City Rollers cassette and Star Wars: A New Hope tickets, perhaps?
10. Sports Day
Dream up your own races. You can’t beat an egg and spoon race with REAL eggs, none of this wooden egg nonsense. Make an obstacle course out of garden and household items. Try hula hooping or doing the most skips in a minute. Lob a ball into a bucket hung on a tree. Run around putting on clothing till you look like a Michelin Man. The crazier your ideas, the better!
Make certificates or buy medals. And half-time oranges and homemade lemonade (lemons boiled with sugar, strained) are essential.
11. Freeze a giant toy ice cube
Make an Ice Age toy cube in a Tupperware-type container. Mix up water with a couple of drops of food colouring, add small toys and freeze it. Then run it upside down under the tap to release it. Let them chisel away with spoons to get to the dinosaurs or animals.
12. Make their own perfume
Hands up who remembers doing this? Let your little ones make a scent they love. Do they prefer one that’s sweet and floral or citrusy and makes them feel zingy?
You’ll need:
- Large glass jar – mason jar or jam jar
- Spray bottle
- Child-safe scissors
- Fragrant herbs and flowers(lilacs, lavender, roses, mint and rosemary work well)
- Oranges, grapefruits and lemons, cut into tiny pieces
- Food colouring/watercolours
- Glitter
- Droppers
- Labels
Pull or snip petals off rose heads, lilacs or lavender, or any herbs they like the smell of. Put them in a glass jar. Smell each fruit to decide which they prefer, and place them in the jar. Fill the jar three-quarters with clear water. (Tip: you can add a drop of essential oil to the water to boost the smell.) Squeeze in some food colouring or watercolour paint. Add glitter with salt and pepper shakers. Watch it all mix in – it’s very therapeutic. Put the lid on and leave for half an hour in the sun, with an occasional gentle shake. Then funnel it into a spray bottle and the larger pieces will get filtered out. Finally, give your perfume a name (is this how Calvin Klein got started?) and a label!
13. Paint a bed sheet
If you’ve got an old sheet, cover or pillowcase, weigh it down with stones or something heavy at the corners, chuck the kids outside with paints, brushes and stencils – or potatoes cut out to make prints, old-school style – and let them get stuck in. Paint their feet and hands and let them walk over it. Guaranteed hit.
14. Twinkling den
Has your park got a big old tree where the canopy makes it dark and you can play underneath the branches? Get strings of solar fairy lights, fully charged the day before, and hang them up under the tree. They should light up if it’s dark enough and you can take rugs and create a secret den.
15. Chalk it up
If you’ve got a patch of patio, it’s amazing how much fun kids can have with a bit of chalk – so create a challenge for them. Chalk down instructions, like doing a starfish jump, singing a song. Get them to show you their best dances. Add in a stopwatch for those with a competitive edge. Or you could play Nature Noughts and Crosses. Make game pieces from things found around the garden. And let them do chalk drawings and write messages to passers-by on your path, if you have one. It washes off!
16. Water wars – fiiiiiiiight!
This has to be one of the simplest activities but it sure gets the endorphins flowing. When the sun’s out, get those swimsuits on and just blast each other. You don’t need a water gun or hose – a makeshift plastic water bottle gun will do it. Just take a regular 500ml water bottle, make a small hole in the lid with something sharp and pointy, fill the bottle with water and squeeze away. If you’re heading to the park, fill some big old plastic milk bottles with water for your ammo supply, so that you can refill your weapons.
17. Save the bees...
Bees need all the help they can get. More than 75% of the world’s food crops depend on them to some extent and they are in decline. So why not make bee nests in compost heaps or under hedges? Or build an insect hotel using hollow stems like bamboo, twigs and string – tie them together and hang them up. Go out looking for bees on the ground in need of help and give them a drop of sugar water. Mix two teaspoons of white granulated sugar – never honey – with one teaspoon of water and put it on a plate or drip it on a flower, to help revive a tired bee. You can find more bee-friendly tips at wwf.org.uk/updates/how-bee-friendly
18. …and the birds
Summer is an ideal time to feed the birds. Get the little ones to put out water bowls and cut soft apples and pears in half. Bananas and grapes are also good. Don’t use peanuts, fat and bread, as they can be harmful or a choking risk to chicks at this time of year. You’ll soon see the same birds visiting every day, which kids love. If you’ve got a pond in your area, “adopt” a duck/heron/goose you can recognise. Tell your kids you’re going to visit Lumpy* to check on him.
*Our local Canada goose, dodgy foot, hence the name. Other names are available.

19. Free play
Community play schemes run through the school holidays, where play ambassadors turn up with equipment like hoops, soft play kit, bats and balls, and so on. It’s usually free, parents and carers stay and sessions are typically available for a couple of hours. Check out your council’s website for more details. Go to gov.uk/find-local-council
20. Litter ye not
Litter picking. Bear with us. Might not sound like fun but, honest to goodness, we’ve never met a child who doesn’t love a magic grabber. You can order one (or more, to avoid squabbles) cheaply online. The bonus is that you’ll finally be able to reach that item right underneath the sofa. | https://www.mirror.co.uk/advertising-features/tsb-cost-of-living-2022/20-ways-entertain-kids-during-27697883 | 2022-08-11T11:39:08Z | https://www.mirror.co.uk/advertising-features/tsb-cost-of-living-2022/20-ways-entertain-kids-during-27697883 | false | 1 |

(KFOR NEWS August 11, 2022) The Nebraska Diplomats Tuesday night named Google as the state’s business of the year. The Diplomats, a statewide economic development organization, presented the awards at a banquet Tuesday night in Kearney.
Governor Pete Ricketts and the Nebraska Department of Economic Development presented the award to Google’s Dan Harbeke, Head of Public Policy and External Affairs.
In April, Google announced plans to invest at least $750 million more in Nebraska by building its first Omaha data center. The company will also add to its Papillion data center complex. This latest investment, along with $600 million in 2019, will put the company’s investment into operations in Nebraska at more than $1 billion. Google said in a new report that since 2009 it has awarded more than $2 million in grants to Nebraska nonprofits and schools and nearly $2.4 million in free search advertising to area organizations.
Google’s contributions to grow communities and enhance the Good Life are numerous. Most recently, Google announced a $100,000 contribution to Omaha’s new main library facility. The company is also partnering with trusted community institutions across the state to bring digital skills training, grant funding and other resources and services to more Nebraskans. Google’s commitment to technology enablement is bringing added focus and results through Nebraska’s 21st-Century tech transformation.
Grow with Google has partnered with more than 80 organizations to train more than 56,000 Nebraskans on digital skills, including public libraries, chambers of commerce, community colleges and more.
In Nebraska, Google.org has awarded more than $2 million in grants to nonprofits and other organizations. Google for Nonprofits has supported 1,227 Nebraska nonprofits since 2011. With Google’s Impact Challenge assistance, Kearney Works is tackling rural workforce issues; the Lincoln New Americans Task Force: CareerLadder is helping create career pathways for immigrants and refugees; Native360 Loan Fund is providing affordable capital and technical assistance to Native American business owners; and Metropolitan Community College is preparing Omaha Correctional Center residents for successful job re-entry.

Since its inception, the young Israeli cyber startup Wiz has received criticism. Perhaps it bothers people that it is "the fastest unicorn in the history of Israeli high-tech", or the fact that it raised copious amounts in capital, or maybe it was the lavish vacation hosted for employees in Mauritius and the extravagant Disney-themed company party it held. With the critiques, the company has been painted the poster girl of the tech "bubble", as various reports on its profits stated that it only made a few million dollars. But yesterday (Wednesday) the startup revealed a new and impressive milestone, especially for how young it is.
The $100-million-a-year club
Wiz was founded in March 2020 by the group of entrepreneurs who founded Adallom – Ami Luttwak, Yinon Costica, Roy Reznik and Assaf Rappaport – and sold it to Microsoft 3 years after the establishment. Rappaport continued at Microsoft and managed the company's Israeli development center, until he left in 2020 and founded Wiz. From the beginning, we could see that Wiz wasn't playing by the book.
For example, only 9 months after it was founded, it had already raised $100 million. But it only picked up the pace from there, as it managed to raise about $600 million in just 18 months, with their most recent valuation being $6 billion. Among the investors in the company are VC firms Sequoia, Index, Insight Partners, Green Oaks, Salesforce and Gili Raanan’s Cyberstarts. Some of their private investors include Bernard Arnault (the third richest man in the world), Howard Schultz (owner of Starbucks) and other prominent entrepreneurs.
Wiz has just announced that it has reached $100 million in annual recurring revenue in only 18 months. According to the company, it is the startup that did it in the shortest time in the world. The importance of using ARR as an index, especially in a time of market uncertainty, is that it signals to investors to focus on generating sales and profits. The Bessemer Foundation uses this index to check the progress of its portfolio companies and calls it the "North Star". However, it is important to remember that this is a private–not public– company, so the data is based on its reports only; we were not allowed to see confirmation or verification from an external accounting firm. In addition, looking only at the ARR index, without data on the cash burn rate, and expenses such as customer acquisition cost, we are only a partial view.
Beyond the heavy funding rounds, the company also jumped in the number of employees they have, from 200 at the beginning of the year to 500 today. Moreover, its product is used by about a quarter of the Fortune 100 companies.
Assaf Rappaport, co-founder and CEO of Wiz, said in response to the announcement: "Many cyber companies today continue to grow rapidly. The slowdown in the markets does not reduce the cyber expenses of large organizations, but the opposite. Many governments are increasing the procurement volumes of cyber technologies, and at the same time applying regulation to a series of organizations, mainly those dealing with critical infrastructures, like financial organizations and health organizations since they use sensitive information of hundreds of millions of citizens and more. Naturally, Israel is one of the main beneficiaries of the growth in the field, and Wiz will continue to grow at a rapid pace in terms of recruiting brilliant employees in Israel and the world, as well as rapidly recruiting customers. We have enough money to continue to support our growth plan and recruit the best talents." | https://www.geektime.com/wiz-reaches-100m-arr-club/ | 2022-08-11T11:50:27Z | https://www.geektime.com/wiz-reaches-100m-arr-club/ | false | 1 |
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Global Garden® has teamed with Canobi AgTech of Maxville Ontario to bring revolutionary monitoring, automation, and optimization technology to indoor cannabis farmers and food agriculturalists across the United States. Designed to manage an entire Indoor Farming Operation, Canobi AgTech's SaaS-based Indoor Farm Management platform is the next step in agricultural intelligence.
As climate change, rising population, and new legislation continue to fuel the upward trend of indoor agriculture, the need for streamlining farming operations has never been more critical. The Canobi framework integrates with existing sensors, devices, and systems to provide real-time monitoring, alerting, data visualization, automation, and optimization of farm and business processes for both small and large scale cultivators.
Canobi AgTech was built with a cultivation-first mindset, focusing priority on the needs of the plant rather than imposing the technology onto the plant. Canobi connects with and monitors sensors and systems 24/7, to pinpoint humidity, temperature, CO2 pockets, and much more. High-resolution monitoring allows for the collection of thousands of data points vertically and horizontally throughout the grow room. Combined with access to historical data for complex analysis, Canobi's management platform enables farmers to dial-in rooms and build optimized SOPs, recipes, and playbooks that will drive farm automation to ensure consistently high-yields with exceptional quality.
Canobi AgTech is the brainchild of ERP veteran and indoor farming visionary Robin Vincent. After six years of consulting in Indoor Farm Management, Mr. Vincent saw a future where data-driven farming would actualize the dream of indoor agriculture at scale. Food security, mitigating the impacts of climate change, and commercial agriculture sustainability are at the core of Canobi's vision of empowering local indoor farming to feed the world sustainably.
"Global Garden® has always maintained a position of supporting only products that bring high value and ROI to our customers," says Global Garden® Managing Partner, Jonathan Bayle. "Canobi AgTech products align perfectly with that mission; not only in product excellence, but service and support as well."
Global Garden® was founded in 2014 by co-owners Jonathan Bayle and Chuck Lee. Headquartered in Torrance, CA, Global Garden® prides itself on curating only high quality, best-in-class products that offer efficient solutions to growers.

Price warning for ALL iPhone fans – you could face a big cost very soon
APPLE fans could be in for a big bill later this year – thanks to a possible iPhone price hike.
Insiders say gadget buyers may have to pay up to 15% more for the new iPhone 14 models.
The price of an iPhone often creeps up every few years.
And now top analyst Ming-Chi Kuo thinks we're going to see a significant jump for the iPhone average sales price (ASP).
"I estimated iPhone 14 series ASP would increase by about 15%," the TF Securities analyst wrote.
He said we can expect an average price of around $1,000 to $1,050, which would likely equate to around £999 to £1,049.
He blamed the "iPhone 14 Pro's price hikes" for the rise.
This isn't the first time we've heard about a possible price rise coming this year.
Last month, experts told The Sun that the next iPhone could cost $100/£100 more than last year's model.
Apple looks set to unleash four new iPhone models in September, as usual.
Most read in Tech
The iPhone Mini is expected to be dropped, instead having an iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max.
This would be in addition to an even pricier iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
So it's possible that the iPhone line would simply start at $799/£779, in absence of the Mini.
This would be a price rise for the iPhone range, but not for the iPhone 14 itself.
Apple won't confirm any of this until the launch in September.
So it's possible that a price rise might not happen at all.
The Sun will be covering the iPhone 14 launch live, so check back for more next month.

Energy bills could pass an eye-watering £5,000 next April, according to a new forecast.
Consultancy Auxilione said Ofgem could increase its price cap at £5,038 per year.
The predictions put the January price cap £2,496 higher than its current level set in April of £1,971.

Experts warned the price cap could hit £4,467 early next year, meaning the average amount could be £571 for energy.
These predictions are higher than the figure published earlier this week by Cornwall Insight.
The market researcher expects the price cap to rise to £3,582 in October before another increase to £4,266 in January 2023.
Ofgem is yet to announce the new price cap level for October, but it will make an announcement on August 26.
The government has confirmed a £400 energy bill rebate, but Martin Lewis argued this help now doesn't go far enough.
Tweeting earlier this week, the MoneySavingExpert founder said: "Action & planning is needed now.
"The zombie govt needs wake up sooner than Sept 5...
"This will leave many destitute. Tax cuts won't help poorest including many elderly & disabled who've higher usage."
The cost of living package hasn't been updated since May when predictions for October were lower.
Posting on LinkedIn, Auxilione said: "The government has called in energy firms to find a way to work together to bring down prices.
"It seems there is little appreciation for just how impossible that task really is and that energy companies.
"The government have little control over this in such a globally influenced market."

Sri Lanka crisis: Gotabaya Rajapaksa had announced his resignation from the presidential post a day after arriving in Singapore. The development took place amid mass agitation against the Sri Lankan government over "mismanagement of the economy".
Thailand has agreed to allow former Sri Lanka President Gotabaya Rajapaksa to stay in the country temporarily, Thailand Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha said on Wednesday. During his stay there, Rajapaksa will look for a third nation to seek permanent refuge, the PM said.
Rajapaksa had fled to Maldives last month and later reached Singapore amid mass anti-government protests over Sri Lanka's economic crisis. His Singapore visa runs out on Thursday, therefore, he's seeking refuge in Thailand, news agency PTI reported.
Prayut Chan-o-cha confirmed Rajapaksa's temporary visit to Thailand and said he promised not to conduct political activities in the kingdom during his search for permanent asylum in another country.
"This is a humanitarian issue. We have made a promise that it's a temporary stay. No (political) activities are allowed, and this will help him find a country to take refuge in," Bangkok Post quoted the prime minister as saying. Gotabaya can stay in Thailand for 90 days as he is still a diplomatic passport holder, Foreign Minister Don Pramudwinai said.
But what's the condition for his stay?
Don Pramudwinai said the condition for his stay is that he does not cause problems for Thailand. The minister said the Sri Lankan government did not oppose the visit and the Thai government would not make accommodation arrangements for him.
"The visit would not pose conflicts with Colombo as acting President Ranil Wickremesinghe had worked for him when he was in power," he said.
Rajapaksa had announced his resignation from the presidential post a day after arriving in Singapore. The development took place amid mass agitation against the Sri Lankan government over "mismanagement of the economy".
Sri Lanka, a country of 22 million people, had declared bankruptcy earlier in July. The country is facing the worst economic crisis in seven decades, leaving millions struggling to buy food, medicine, fuel and other essentials.
The massive protests that began in March culminated with Rajapaksa's resignation. The protesters accused the Rajapaksa family of plunging the country into the worst economic crisis since the country's independence in 1948 through mismanagement and corruption.
The country is now dealing with an acute foreign currency crisis that resulted in foreign debt default. It had announced in April that it is suspending nearly USD 7 billion foreign debt repayment due for this year out of about USD 25 billion due through 2026. Sri Lanka's total foreign debt stands at USD 51 billion. The United Nations has warned that 5.7 million people require immediate humanitarian assistance, with Sri Lankans experiencing extreme shortages of essentials including food, fuel and medicines.
The new Sri Lankan government led by Rajapaksa's ally Ranil Wickremesinghe faces the task of leading the country out of its economic collapse and restoring order.

(The Hill) — Democratic gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke on Wednesday snapped at a heckler who laughed as he discussed a recent mass shooting.
O’Rourke, who has expressed outrage after a gunman opened fire inside an Uvalde, Texas, elementary school and killed 19 children and two adults, delivered a speech at a town hall in the city of Mineral Wells.
While discussing some details of the tragedy, somebody in the crowd laughed, prompting O’Rourke to swiftly turn around.
“It may be funny to you, motherf—–,” he said, “but it’s not funny to me.”
O’Rourke earned a round of applause from the crowd for the response.
The Democratic candidate, who has pushed for more restrictive gun laws, will face off against GOP Gov. Greg Abbott in November. | https://www.wvnstv.com/news/national-news/beto-orourke-snaps-at-heckler-over-uvalde-shooting-it-may-be-funny-to-you-motherf/ | 2022-08-11T12:05:46Z | https://www.wvnstv.com/news/national-news/beto-orourke-snaps-at-heckler-over-uvalde-shooting-it-may-be-funny-to-you-motherf/ | true | null |
A senior member of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Gaza has said that Israel will bear responsibility if Palestinian prisoner Khalil Awawda dies.
Awawda, who has been on a hunger strike for 152 days, has been reported by Palestinian media to have deteriorated in recent days and was admitted into hospital on Thursday morning.

Shafaq News/ The Coordination Framework and the Sadrist movement, are girding up their supporters' loins for a new wave of demonstrations, a move that could prolong political deadlock or plunge the country into fresh bout of violence.
The Coordination Framework, a consortium of mainly Iran-backed Shiite political forces, called its supporters for a demonstration tomorrow, Friday at 0500 pm, to uphold the Judicial and legislative authorities, hinder chaos, and demand a "government of national service" that alleviates the people's sufferings, passes the budget, implement major projects, and fights corruption.
"We meet at the bridge. The free people will have a stance that rejects seizing the public opinion and monopolizing it under any circumstances. Iraq is for all. The parliament belongs to the people and the judiciary is a foundation of the state," the Coordination Framework's committee for organizing the demonstrations said in a statement on Thursday.
A self-proclaimed advisor of Muqtada al-Sadr, urged "reform supporters" to gather tomorrow at the same time in their respective governorates.
Saleh Mohammad al-Iraqi who runs a Twitter account named "the leader's advisor" and widely believed to be al-Sadr's mouthpiece said that the demonstrations aim to "taunt the corrupt people."
A power struggle in Iraq between the influential Shi'ite cleric Moqtada Sadr and Iran-backed Shi'ite rivals has escalated with his supporters breaking into parliament and beginning an open-ended sit-in protest last month.
The tussle over who gets to form the next government has deepened a fissure in the Shi'ite community that has dominated Iraqi politics since the U.S.-led invasion that toppled Sunni dictator Saddam Hussein in 2003.
Tensions have worsened since an October election in which Sadr's movement emerged as the biggest bloc with 74 of parliament's 329 seats and the Iran-backed factions' share slumped to 17 from a previous 48.
After failing to overturn the result in the courts, the Iran-backed factions set about stymying Sadr's efforts to form a government that would include his Kurdish and Sunni Arab allies but exclude groups he described as corrupt.
Despite their diminished numbers in parliament, the Iran-aligned groups managed to frustrate Sadr by denying the two-thirds quorum needed to elect a Kurdish head of state - the first step towards forming a government.
Frustrated at the deadlock, Sadr instructed his lawmakers to quit parliament in June. The move ceded dozens of seats to the Coordination Framework, meaning it could try to form a government of its choosing, though this would risk al-Sadr's wrath.
Al-Sadr's rivals floated Mohammed Shiya al-Sudani, seen by Sadr's supporters as a Maliki loyalist. This step appears to have been the final straw for Sadr supporters, igniting the protests. | https://www.shafaq.com/en/Iraq-News/Coordination-Framework-Sadrist-movement-call-for-counter-demonstrations-on-Friday | 2022-08-11T12:06:08Z | https://www.shafaq.com/en/Iraq-News/Coordination-Framework-Sadrist-movement-call-for-counter-demonstrations-on-Friday | false | 2 |
China's Didi EV joint venture with Li Auto applies for bankruptcy - court
SHANGHAI, Aug 11 (Reuters) - Chinese ride-hailing firm Didi's joint venture with Li Auto LI.O has applied for bankruptcy, according to a court filing, pointing to the end of a four-year-old partnership to make electric vehicles (EV).
The company, 51% owned by Didi while 49% held by Li Auto, submitted the bankruptcy application to Beijing No. 1 Intermediate People's Court on Thursday, a statement on a website run by the Supreme Court showed.
Didi and Li Auto did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Didi and Li Auto, previously known as Chehejia, established Beijing Judian Chuxing Technology in 2018 to develop and manufacture customized smart electric vehicles for ride-hailing services.
It was also among a series of partnerships Didi struck with major automakers including Volkswagen VOWG.DE, Toyota 7203.T and BYD 1211.HK with plans to adopt more EVs with autonomous driving technologies in its fleets.
While Didi and BYD launched a co-developed EV model D1 in 2020, most of the collaborations have made little progress.
Scrutiny from Beijing for suspected violation of data security has forced Didi to de-list from the New York Stock Exchange and reined in its business since last July.
However, the ride-hailing firm has quietly pushed ahead with a car-making project, code-named "Da Vinci", Reuters reported in June.
It was also in advanced talks with state-backed Sinomach Automobile 600335.SS to buy a third of its electric-vehicle unit, Reuters reported then.

While MPs don’t have to register donations for a month after receiving them, some swottish leadership candidates have submitted their homework early in this month’s register of members’ interests. Tom Tugendhat has been especially comprehensive, registering a whopping £123,674.44 in donations for his leadership campaign. Rishi and Liz especially have been very quiet so far. Here’s the full list…
Kemi Badenoch:
Suella Braverman
Tom Tugendhat
Rishi Sunak
While Rishi registered just over £3,000 in office space – before moving his swelling team from Westminster to Holborn – Guido also notices his name cropping up in another member’s declaration. Three days ago Mark Fletcher, Bolsover, registered that Sunak paid £5,046.82 for a fundraising dinner in his constituency. Unfortunately for Rishi, Mark has declared for Liz…
So far neither Liz, Sajid nor Nadhim have registered a penny in donations; it’s not unlikely Rishi will also have paid for much of his campaign out of his own pocket. Nadhim did make one registration however: four tickets to a Billie Eilish concert valued at £480… | https://order-order.com/2022/08/11/register-of-interests-tory-leadership-special/ | 2022-08-11T12:10:42Z | https://order-order.com/2022/08/11/register-of-interests-tory-leadership-special/ | false | 1 |
- Revenues increased 23.2% to $126.8 million, compared to $102.9 million for the same quarter last year.
- Adjusted EBITDA(1) amounted to $6.2 million, or 4.9% of revenues, compared to $7.0 million, including the forgiveness of $5.9 million in Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loans, or 6.8% of revenues, for the same quarter last year.
- Gross margin increased 20.2% to $34.1 million, compared to $28.3 million for the same quarter last year.
- Gross margin as a percentage of revenues(2) was 26.9%, compared to 27.5% for the same quarter last year. Excluding the impact of the forgiveness of the $4.6 million in PPP loans recorded to cost of revenues in the first quarter of last year, gross margin as a percentage of revenues(1) would have amounted to 23.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2021. On a sequential basis, gross margin as a percentage of revenues increased from 26.5% for the fourth quarter of last year.
- Net loss was $4.2 million, or $0.04 per share, compared to a net loss of $2.0 million, including the forgiveness of $5.9 million in PPP loans, or $0.02 per share, for the same quarter last year.
- Q1 bookings(2) reached $145.4 million, which translated into a book-to-bill ratio(2) of 1.15 for the quarter, and on a trailing twelve months basis, bookings were $468.7 million, which translated into a book-to-bill ratio of 1.02.
- Successfully completed 17 go-live implementations and signed 15 new clients.
- Received several prestigious industry accolades, including:
- Completed the acquisition on July 1, 2022, of US-based Datum Consulting Group, LLC and its affiliates ("Datum") (the "Datum Acquisition"), a leader in IP enabled digital transformation services for data rich insurers and other regulated entities such as state governments, adding over 150 professionals in the United States, Europe, India, and Australia to our team.
MONTREAL, Aug. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Alithya Group inc. (TSX: ALYA) (NASDAQ: ALYA) ("Alithya" or the "Company") reported today its results for the first quarter fiscal 2023 ended June 30, 2022. All amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated.
"We are very pleased to begin a new fiscal year with continued strong revenue growth and solid bookings. In terms of specific geographies, we experienced record bookings in the US, which reflect the reputation of trust that Alithya continues to garner. In Canada, business continues to be fueled by strong bookings from the public sector and new business with existing clients. Actually, 85% of our revenues in the first quarter came from clients which we also served during the same quarter last year – in other words, that's 85% of repeat revenues. We also added 15 new clients in the quarter.
Our Q1 financial results include company-wide salary increases afforded to our valued workforce. Although this has short-term impacts on our gross margin, they are absorbed in price increases over time. Talent attraction, retention and nurturing continue to be a priority in a volatile market, and inflationary pressures remain. We are therefore pleased with the potential for margin growth as we expand our offshore operations. We are currently ramping up our Morocco office and adding capabilities in India and Eastern Europe through the recent acquisition of Datum.
I would also like to highlight some of the prestigious industry accolades garnered by Alithya teams in the past few months, including Microsoft Partner of the Year awards in two separate categories. Alithya was also named to Microsoft's prestigious Inner Circle for the 16th year, and was honored by an IMPACT Award, recognizing Microsoft partners who demonstrate excellence in Microsoft Dynamics 365 new customer additions. Alithya was also selected as an Oracle Game Changer Award for ERP/EPM Service Delivery Partner of the Year finalist in 2022, and received two OCTAS prizes, presented by Réseau Action TI, including an award in the Culture and Society category for the work of our teams in developing the BénéClic app for Saint-Justine Children's Hospital.
Following a period of sustained and significant growth since going public, we are entering Fiscal 2023 with an opportunity to leverage our expanded global scale and resulting synergy opportunities in order to optimize our SG&A cost structure. Many initiatives are already underway, and we expect to benefit from these over the course of the next few quarters."
Revenues
Revenues amounted to $126.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, including $8.4 million from Vitalyst, LLC ("Vitalyst") following its acquisition by the Company on January 31, 2022 (the "Vitalyst Acquisition"), representing a $23.9 million increase, or 23.2%, from $102.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. On a sequential basis, revenues increased by $6.8 million, from $120.0 million for the fourth quarter of last year.
Revenues in Canada increased by $9.2 million, or 13.3%, to $78.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, from $69.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in revenues was due to organic growth in all areas and continued growth from the two long-term contracts signed as part of the acquisition of R3D Consulting Inc. On a sequential basis, revenues in Canada increased by $3.0 million, from $75.2 million for the fourth quarter of last year.
U.S. revenues increased by $13.7 million, or 44.3%, to $44.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, from $30.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, due primarily to revenues of $8.4 million from the Vitalyst Acquisition, organic growth in all areas, and a favorable US$ exchange rate impact of $1.7 million. On a sequential basis, revenues in the U.S. increased by $3.9 million, from $40.7 million for the fourth quarter of last year.
International revenues increased by $0.9 million, or 32.7%, to $3.9 million, from $3.0 million for the same quarter last year, due primarily to a general recovery of activity levels, partially offset by an unfavorable foreign exchange rate impact of $0.3 million between the two periods.
Gross margin increased by $5.8 million, or 20.2%, to $34.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, from $28.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Gross margin as a percentage of revenues decreased to 26.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2022, from 27.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Excluding the impact of the forgiveness of the $4.6 million in PPP loans recorded to cost of revenues in the first quarter of last year, gross margin as a percentage of revenues would have amounted to 23.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2021. On a sequential basis, gross margin as a percentage of revenues increased from 26.5% for the fourth quarter of last year, despite annual salary increases which came into effect in the first quarter of this year.
Gross margin as a percentage of revenues increased in Canada and internationally due to increased revenues from permanent employees relative to subcontractors and increased subscription, software and other revenues, which carry higher margins.
In the U.S., gross margin as a percentage of revenues decreased as a result of reduced governmental wage subsidies, mainly the forgiveness of the PPP loans recorded in the first quarter of last year, as explained above, market pressures on salary costs, and decreased utilization rates in certain areas of the business due to delays in the timing of new project starts. This decrease was partially offset by a positive margin impact from the Vitalyst Acquisition and increased subscription, software and other revenues, which carry higher margins.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $28.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $6.2 million, or 27.2%, including $2.6 million in expenses from Vitalyst, from $22.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. As a percentage of consolidated revenues, total selling, general and administrative expenses amounted to 22.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 22.1% for the same period last year, driven mostly by the higher historical selling, general and administrative expense percentage of Vitalyst.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA amounted to $6.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, representing a decrease of $0.8 million, from $7.0 million, including the forgiveness of $5.9 million in PPP loans, for the three months ended June 30, 2021. As explained above, increased selling, general and administrative expenses and decreased governmental wage subsidies, mainly the forgiveness of the PPP loans recorded in the first quarter of last year, were partially offset by increased gross margin and the contribution from the Vitalyst Acquisition. Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 4.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 6.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Net Loss
Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $4.2 million, an increase of $2.1 million, from $2.0 million, including the forgiveness of $5.9 million in PPP loans, for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increased loss was driven by decreased governmental wage subsidies, mainly the forgiveness of the PPP loans recorded in the first quarter of last year, increased selling, general and administrative expenses, increased amortization of intangibles, increased net financial expenses, and decreased income tax recovery, partially offset by increased gross margin and decreased business acquisition, integration and reorganization costs in the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. On a per share basis, this translated into a basic and diluted net loss per share of $0.04 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to a net loss of $0.02 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
For the three months ended June 30, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $11.4 million, representing an increase of $11.9 million, from $0.5 million of cash generated for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The cash used in the three months ended June 30, 2022 resulted primarily from the net loss of $4.2 million, plus $6.6 million of non-cash adjustments to the net loss, consisting primarily of depreciation and amortization and share-based compensation, partially offset by deferred taxes, and $13.8 million in unfavorable changes in non-cash working capital items, driven mainly by a temporary increase in unbilled revenues. In comparison, the cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2021 resulted primarily from the net loss of $2.0 million, less $2.0 million of non-cash adjustments to the net loss, consisting primarily of the forgiveness of PPP loans and deferred taxes, partially offset by depreciation and amortization and share-based compensation, and $4.5 million in favorable changes in non-cash working capital items.
On September 14, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors authorized and subsequently the TSX approved the implementation of a NCIB. Under the NCIB, the Company is allowed to purchase for cancellation up to 5,462,572 Subordinate Voting Shares, representing 10% of the Company's public float as of the close of markets on September 8, 2021. Shareholders may obtain a copy of the notice of NCIB approved by the TSX, free of charge, by contacting the Company.
During the three months ended June 30, 2022, Alithya repurchased and cancelled 178,230 Class A subordinate voting shares under its share repurchase plan for a total cash consideration of $530,000.
As at June 30, 2022, the Company could purchase up to 4,926,642 Subordinate Voting Shares for cancellation under the NCIB.
On July 1, 2022, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of U.S.-based Datum.
The Datum Acquisition was completed for total consideration of up to US$45.5 million ($58.4 million), including the assumption of estimated IFRS 16 lease liabilities of US$0.5 million ($0.6 million), subject to working capital and other adjustments. The consideration consisted of: (i) approximately US$13.7 million ($17.6 million) in cash on closing; (ii) US$4.0 million ($5.1 million) payable by the issuance of 1,867,262 Subordinate Voting Shares on closing, (iii) deferred cash consideration of approximately US$10.3 million ($13.3 million) and deferred share consideration of US$4.0 million ($5.1 million), both payable over three years and (iv) potential earn-out consideration of up to US$13.0 million ($16.7 million), payable in cash (75%) and shares (25%), based on annual gross profit increases, payable over three years.

In this context, the Company's priority remains the protection of its people, its clients and the Company.

- INEO's sales activities are accelerating with the Company's sales pipeline climbing to over $40 million in annual recurring revenue.
SURREY, BC, Aug. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - INEO Tech Corp. (TSX-V: INEO) (OTCQB: INEOF) (the "Company" or "INEO"), the innovative developer and operator of the INEO Media Network, a digital advertising and analytics solution for retailers, is notifying investors that the recording of the INEO Corporate Update Webinar from July 27, 2022 has been posted to the Company website at www.ineosolutionsinc.com.
INEO previously announced the Company is expecting to deliver another quarter of record revenue in Q4-2022, with growth approaching 90% over Q4-2021. In addition, the size of the INEO sales pipeline has grown to over $40 million in annual recurring revenue, based on the potential full contract value with retail chains who have currently installed, or committed pilot installations.
In the webinar video, INEO's CEO Kyle Hall states, "INEO will typically receive anywhere from $500 to $1,000 per month per store. The range in revenue depends on the number of INEO Welcoming Systems, INEO Welcoming Duo's, INEO Media Players or INEO GATE systems installed at the store. Our (sales) pipeline represents over 7,000 locations through direct and Prosegur partner channels..…we have only included chains in our pipeline where we have either a contract, a pilot or a committed pilot. The gross pipeline is much, much bigger than $40 million annual revenue if we included retail chains that are interested but have not yet committed to a pilot."
Also in the webinar video, Mr. Hall and Chairman and President Greg Watkin discuss how INEO's business is accelerating with active pilots and commitments with large retail chains representing a broad spectrum of industries including grocery, apparel, wholesale club, hardware, department store and pharmacy chains. Additionally, INEO's advertising fill rates have increased tremendously on the INEO Media Network. INEO has had over 30 major brands or advertisers, and many more smaller ones, who have utilized the power of the INEO Media Network.

New Glasgow students told they will not be guaranteed accommodation this year as union claims university has accepted too many students
- Glasgow University rejected applications for halls from those able to commute
- It also could not guarantee accommodation to those who live further afield
- The university blamed the strained rental market for an increased halls demand
- But the Students' Representative Council believe the issue is 'over-recruitment'
- Several students have said they might have to give up their place as a result
New Glasgow University students will not be guaranteed accommodation this year and have been advised only to accept their place if they have already secured somewhere to stay – as its students’ union claimed the university had recruited too many students.
The university blamed a 'significant contraction' in Glasgow's rental market for an increased demand in student halls.
But the Students' Representative Council (SRC) claimed it had instead accepted too many people.
As a result of the 'increased demand' for private rented accommodation in Glasgow, the SRC said they lobbied the university to limit acceptance numbers for 2021.
The lack of accommodation could leave some students with long commutes to lectures and some have said they might have to give up their place altogether, with one fresher saying she 'can't commute five-and-a-half hours'.
New Glasgow University students will not be guaranteed accommodation this year and have been advised only to accept their place if they have already secured somewhere to stay as the university blamed a 'significant contraction' in the city's private rental market
After receiving their results on Tuesday, students who live within commuting distance were automatically denied accommodation.
Those who live further away were also told accommodation was not guaranteed, despite the university saying it had increased the number of rooms under its management by 25 per cent, the BBC reported.
One 18-year-old, from Burton-on-Trent, has a conditional offer to study politics at Glasgow University but said it looks like she may not be able to go at all.
After receiving their results on Tuesday, students who live within commuting distance were automatically denied accommodation and those who live further away were also told accommodation was not guaranteed, despite the university saying it had increased the number of rooms under its management by 25 per cent
Elissa Varley, 18, who lives in Burton-on-Trent, said if her conditional offer to study politics is accepted, she might not be able to go at all, as she 'can't commute five-and-a-half hours'
Elissa Varley told BBC Scotland: 'Either I withdraw my application, which would also withdraw my insurance option, or I take a risk and try to find somewhere private to stay in two weeks and possibly be left with no accommodation.
'I don't even know my results yet and whether I've got in and then I have two weeks to find private accommodation.
'I can't commute five-and-a-half hours.'
Elissa added that she wished prospective students had been told sooner so she could have been better prepared to look for alternative accommodation or applied to a different university through clearing.
David Todd, who is based in Manchester, has waited a year to start a PhD at Glasgow University but said he now might have to defer or drop out completely.
University of Leeds graduate David Todd, who is based in Manchester, has waited a year to start a PhD at Glasgow University but said he now might have to defer or drop out completely as he was relying on postgraduate accommodation through the university to house him
'I have been relying on postgraduate accommodation through the university to house me as I can't really afford to live anywhere too expensive and I don't know anyone in Glasgow,' he told BBC Scotland.
A statement from Glasgow University's SRC said: 'The SRC is aware of the issues leading up to this point and we would like to express our disappointment at the university's approach.
'After the accommodation crisis across Glasgow last year, the SRC lobbied the university to commit to a moratorium on student numbers, despite this it now seems that over-recruitment has contributed to the creation of a similar situation.'
The statement went on to say that the SRC understood finding private accommodation in Glasgow was not easy as it was experiencing an 'unprecedented level of demand' and that students should look at their advice centre for tips.
President of the SRC Rinna Vare said the council were very concerned about how the accommodation shortage would impact incoming freshers.
University of Glasgow's Student Representatives' Council said it lobbied the university last year to reduce the number of students it was accepting as a result of the accommodation crisis and believed this latest issue was as a result of 'over-recruitment'
A University of Glasgow spokesperson said: 'Regrettably, due to a significant contraction in the private rental market, demand for rooms continues to be substantially ahead of expectation and we are no longer in a position to provide guaranteed University accommodation.
'Despite having increased the number of rooms under University management by 25 per cent for the new academic year, we are having to prioritise accommodation for students who are unable to travel from home.
'We understand the concern students have about finding accommodation for the new semester.
'While we are unable to offer accommodation for students living within reasonable commuting distance, we will continue to check regularly on the availability of private provider accommodation and will share updates when we have them.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11101977/New-Glasgow-University-students-told-not-guaranteed-accommodation-year.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | 2022-08-11T12:18:01Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11101977/New-Glasgow-University-students-told-not-guaranteed-accommodation-year.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | false | 3 |
President Castillo’s sister-in-law surrenders to the authorities in Peru
(CNN Spanish) — Yenifer Paredes Navarro, sister-in-law of the president of Peru, turned herself in to the authorities this Wednesday, a source with knowledge of the case confirmed to CNN.
Paredes was wanted by the Peruvian authorities in the framework of an investigation of an alleged “crime against the public administration in the form of influence peddling to the detriment of the State.”
Paredes’ lawyer told the newspaper on Wednesday The Republic that she did not know her whereabouts and that she is not aware of the preliminary detention measures, attributing the proceedings of the Prosecutor’s Office to “a political issue.”
On Tuesday, the investigators arrived at the National Palace in search of Paredes after the Eighth Investigation Court of the National Superior Court of Specialized Criminal Justice ordered “the immediate location and capture” of Paredes and three businessmen, according to the document to the that CNN had access to.
The team of prosecutors and a special team of the Police were present at the Government Palace at the end of the afternoon on Tuesday, but until the night they had not located her, according to sources close to the Prosecutor’s Office.
In statements to the newspaper The Republic, Paredes’s lawyer, José Quesnay, said he did not know his whereabouts. “She lives in Cajamarca, according to what she has told the Prosecutor’s Office,” he said. Quesnay added that “the Prosecutor’s Office has requested a preliminary arrest measure, but that the actions are carried out without the slightest knowledge of it.” He also considered that the proceedings of the Public Ministry are due to a political issue. “Justice should not be administered at any cost. She (Yenifer Paredes) did not know about this measure,” he said.
On the night of this Tuesday, Castillo sent a message to the nation in which he maintained that the “Government Palace and the Presidential House, once again have been violated with an illegal search endorsed by a judge, coincidentally when the request for requested my disqualification for 5 years to take away from the Peruvian people their legitimate government”.
Castillo introduced Paredes as his daughter during the presidential campaign, since he and his wife raised her from a young age. The court order establishes that once Paredes is located, she remains detained for 10 days.
Paredes is being preliminarily investigated for an alleged crime against the public administration in the form of influence peddling to the detriment of the State. Weeks ago, the president’s sister-in-law appeared before the Congress of the Republic in response to a summons from her and denied the accusations against her.
CNN has contacted the Peruvian Presidency for comment.
The first lady, Lilia Paredes, gave her statement to the Prosecutor’s Office on July 8 in the framework of the investigations carried out for alleged influence peddling against her sister.
This Special Team Against the Corruption of Power was created in the Prosecutor’s Office to investigate the officials of the Castillo government and their closest circle. | https://d1softballnews.com/president-castillos-sister-in-law-surrenders-to-the-authorities-in-peru/ | 2022-08-11T12:18:03Z | https://d1softballnews.com/president-castillos-sister-in-law-surrenders-to-the-authorities-in-peru/ | true | 2 |
