A memo detailing how federal investigators believed the Secret Service was impeding them from obtaining key information about the agency's response to January 6, 2021, was significantly altered to remove reference to nearly all those efforts before a final report was presented to lawmakers in June.
The memo's original language contained detailed descriptions from the Department of Homeland Security Inspector General's office of the multiple ways the Secret Service stalled the watchdog's investigation into the agency's actions before and during the Capitol riot, including erasing text messages from that day.
"Secret Service has resisted OIG's oversight activities and delayed the results of its review by regularly indicating they will not provide documents directly to OIG without first conducting an internal review," according to a draft memo from April, which was obtained by the Project on Government Oversight and shared with CNN.
That language was eventually scrapped and replaced with two sentences containing a brief reference to challenges investigators faced in obtaining information. The final version of a report updating lawmakers on the OIG's progress in its January 6 review was issued in June, about one month before DHS Inspector General Joseph Cuffari complained to Congress that the Secret Service and DHS were blocking access to records.
It's unclear why the more fulsome descriptions of those roadblocks were not included in the final report Cuffari sent to Congress.
In a statement to CNN, a spokesperson for the Secret Service said the agency is "cooperating fully with all of the inquiries into the events that occurred on January 6, 2021." The DHS IG did not respond to a request for comment.
The original memo included detailed claims by the watchdog's investigators about problems gaining timely access to Secret Service documents and information, including missing text messages that were lost as part of a data migration.
"On multiple occasions, when documents were finally produced after upwards of a month, they contained redactions," the draft memo said. "Although OIG's follow-up eventually yielded unredacted documents, in each instance, these hurdles regularly resulted in avoidable delay."
The timing and the detail of the memo raise more questions about Cuffari's seemingly impromptu July letter to lawmakers that briefly mentioned the loss of text messages from the Secret Service and challenges in obtaining DHS records.
Cuffari has come under significant fire in recent weeks for his handling of the investigation, including an email sent in the summer of 2021 telling DHS that Cuffari's investigators had stopped looking for the missing text messages. The contents of that email were first reported by CNN last month.
The draft memo also said OIG investigators renewed the request for missing Secret Service text messages in February 2022, a year after the initial request for records.
"Secret Service claimed inability to extract text message content due to an April 2021 mobile phone system migration," the draft language said. "Secret Service caused significant delay by not clearly communicating this highly relevant information at the outset of its exchanges with OIG during this reporting period. Moreover, Secret Service has not explained why it did not preserve the texts prior to the migration."
CNN has previously reported Secret Service lost text messages in data migration that began January 27, 2021, roughly a month before the OIG issued its first request for records. The data migration ended in April, 2021.
A source has told CNN the Secret Service told the Inspector General's Office as early as May 2021, about the loss of text messages due to the data migration.
Despite the detailed draft language, the final version of the semiannual report issued in mid-June said only that during "the previous reporting period, [OIG] included information about Secret Service's significant delay of OIG's access to Secret Service Records, impeding the progress of [OIG's] January 6, 2021 review."
The report said investigators were continuing to "discuss the issue" with the Secret Service.
House Oversight Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney and House Homeland Security Chairman Bennie Thompson have demanded Cuffari recuse himself from the investigation into the Secret Service and hand it over to a fellow Inspector General, citing other examples of draft language that was eventually changed to suggest a higher level of cooperation from DHS agencies which they say may illustrate a coverup.

UFC’s numbered events might get the most attention, but UFC Fight Night should also be on every MMA fan’s watchlist.
With young, up-and-coming talent and occasional appearances from established fighters, UFC Fight Night serves up everything we love about professional MMA. The events are a great way to get familiar with new stars, and, of course, see some thrilling fights.
Related: How to Watch UFC PPV Events Online
One significant draw with UFC Fight Night events is that they’re streaming for free, and not on a pay-per-view system. Read on for all the details of the fighting series, including how to watch UFC Fight Night online and when to catch the next event.
When Is UFC Fight Night?
UFC Fight Night events typically happen twice a month on Saturday evenings, airing at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT.
UFC Fight Night events don’t happen on the same night as UFC numbered events, so you won’t need to miss a Fight Night to watch a big match.
How to Watch UFC Fight Night Online
Looking to live stream UFC Fight Night online? You’ll need an ESPN+ subscription. ESPN+’s streaming service now has exclusive rights to the MMA promotion, so you’ll need to be an ESPN+ member to watch any UFC events — including UFC Fight Night.
Luckily, once you get an ESPN+ subscription, you’ll be able to live stream UFC Fight Night for free online. And because ESPN+ is a streaming service, you can use it to watch UFC Fight Night on your smart TV, streaming devices, laptop, phone, or tablet.
ESPN+ currently costs $6.99 a month, or $69.99 a year (the annual plan saves you about 15%). However, be aware that ESPN+ will raise its prices on August 23 to $9.99 per month and $99.99 a year for the annual plan.
Stream UFC Fight Night With the Disney Bundle Deal
If you want to score some serious savings, consider getting the Disney streaming bundle. This deal gets you ESPN+, Disney+, and Hulu — all for just $12.99 a month. If you already have Disney+ and/or Hulu, we suggest canceling your subscriptions and signing up for the Disney bundle to save on all three streaming services.
How to Stream UFC Fight Night Online Free
Although you can live stream UFC Fight Night for free online if you already have an ESPN+ subscription, ESPN+ does not have a free trial at the moment, making it hard to watch UFC Fight Night without paying anything.
However, there is a way to get ESPN+ for free — and subsequently stream UFC Fight Night for free: Verizon is offering the Disney bundle for free for six months with select Unlimited plans, meaning you can sign up for a Verizon Unlimited plan and get six months of ESPN+, Disney+, and Hulu for free. This is a great hack to live stream UFC Fight Night for free online (if you’re also in need of a new phone plan).
UFC Fight Night Events Schedule
A few exciting UFC Fight Night events are on the horizon for the rest of August and September. Up next is Marlon Vera vs. Dominick Cruz on August 13, pitting two highly successful bantamweight fighters against each other. Then comes a heavyweight match between Ciryl Gane and Tai Tuivasa on September 3.

‘May be at significant risk’: Four children ‘taken’ by man with Joker tattoos missing through night
By Cloe Read
Four children allegedly abducted from a property in north Queensland on Thursday morning remained missing through the night and police continue to search for them.
Police said the children, aged eight, seven, four and three, were allegedly taken by a man, Joshua Carter, 28, at a property at The Leap, near Mackay, about 11.30am on Thursday.
Carter is known to the children.
An amber alert was issued for the children, who police said “may be at significant risk”, at 6.50pm on Thursday.
“All of the children are described as being Caucasian in appearance with a slim build and brown hair,” the alert read.
“A man was seen taking the children away from a Maraju Yakapari Road address in a white 2005 Nissan Patrol 4WD bearing Queensland registration 063 BC9. The vehicle was last seen heading towards the Bruce Highway, Mackay.
“The man is described as Caucasian in appearance, solid build, approximately 175 centimetres tall with a shaven head and full bushy beard with multiple face and body tattoos, including Batman ‘Joker’-themed facial tattoos.”
Police on Friday morning at 9am confirmed the children were still missing and continued to appeal to the public for information regarding the incident.

Southwest Airlines employees celebrate passenger's 104th birthday
Southwest Airlines recently went the extra mile for a passenger's milestone birthday.
In 2018, Mrs. Jane Smith of San Francisco, California, flew with the Southwest Airlines team from San Francisco to Las Vegas to celebrate her 100th birthday.
That's when she first became friendly with the flight crew, according to a July 28, 2022, news release from Southwest Airlines.
To make the day memorable, Southwest employees sang "Isn’t She Lovely" by Stevie Wonder at the gates.
Then, all the passengers on the flight sang "Happy Birthday to You."

Since then, Southwest employees Bryan Dal Portoa, San Francisco customer service supervisor, and Nisha Chinn, a San Francisco customer service manager, have gotten closer to Smith and her family.
Jane Smith of San Francisco felt the birthday love from Southwest Airlines employees. (Southwest Airlines Co.)
For the last two years, Smith's plans for her birthday trips were halted due to the coronavirus pandemic.
So, Dal Porto and Chinn wanted Smith's 2022 trip to Las Vegas to be a joyous occasion for the centenarian.
The Southwest staffers printed out certificates to have the agents greet her as she passed through the airport in San Francisco.
They also worked with their colleagues in Los Angeles to ensure that Smith arrived in style.
However, two days before her planned trip to Las Vegas on March 24, 2022, Smith got sick and had to cancel.
OHIO COUPLE CELEBRATES 100TH BIRTHDAYS, 79 YEARS OF MARRIAGE: 'BEEN A GOOD LIFE'
That’s when Dal Porto and Chinn brought the party to her — complete with a cake, an orchid and some Southwest Airlines goodies.
"Celebrating a birthday at Southwest Airlines is always a special occasion. However, there was nothing quite like honoring and celebrating the life of someone as sweet as Mama Jane year after year," Chinn told Fox News Digital.
"It’s been a fulfilling experience to meet her and her family who have now become a part of our Southwest family."
Jane Smith of San Francisco got a sweet surprise visit from two Southwest employees, Nisha Chinn and Bryan Dal Porto. (Southwest Airlines Co.)
"This has been an amazing journey with Mama Jane. This is why Southwest employees are the heart of connecting our customers to what is important in their lives," echoed Dal Porto.
"It’s so gratifying to make Mama Jane feel special."
Smith has three daughters and one son, along with 14 grandchildren, 32 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild, Southwest told Fox News Digital.
5 BEACH-TOWN ALTERNATIVES TO TRY INSTEAD OF THE POPULAR AND CROWDED DESTINATIONS
Her husband, Irving Russell Smith, Sr., died on March 14, 2013, at the age of 96.
The couple were married for 71 years.
The first time the Southwest Airlines team met Jane Smith on her 100th birthday was during a flight from San Francisco to Las Vegas. (Southwest Airlines Co.)
Smith had several jobs in her life. She was once a maid for the president of Mary Baldwin College in Staunton, Virginia, sold eggs and homemade butter, operated a grocery store in Staunton with her husband and worked in a department store as a gift wrapper.
In Richmond, Virginia, she worked as a supervisor from the U.S. Defense General Supply Center, Southwest said, and retired from there.
As for celebrating her 104th birthday, Smith sang the praises of her two friends.

New Porsche 911 GT3 RS Coming With Bespoke Pirelli Tires
At this point, it's quite peculiar that the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS hasn't yet had an official unveiling. After all, we've seen so much of the hottest 992-generation 911 already, with Porsche hardly making an effort to conceal its design. Following a recent sighting in California, new pictures of what appears to be an entirely naked GT3 RS have been shared on social media. Besides giving us out best look yet at the RS, the new images have revealed two things we haven't seen before: an unexpected brand of tire and new steering wheel controls not present on other 911s.

G-Power Has Turned this Porsche 911 Turbo Into a Supercar Killer
The latest 992-gen Porsche 911 Turbo S is the most potent 911 ever built. Its 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six puts out a whopping 640 horses and 590 pound-feet of twist. But what if it were given a boost in power? Indeed, Brabus has tuned the 911 Turbo S Cabriolet to deliver a total of 820 horsepower. But today, we have another 911 Turbo S from G-Power, and the brand claims to have done some insane tuning to make the flat-six engine produce a whopping 800 horses. The German tuning brand’s reputation has remained untarnished for over 40 years and is best recognized for its Mercedes-AMG and BMW M modifications. However, it is the brand’s first attempt at the best performance car from Porsche.

Hudson allowed two runs on four hits and four walks while striking out six in an 8-6 loss Thursday in Colorado. He did not factor into the decision.
Hudson juxtaposed wildness with timely double-plays and limited the damage to only two runs. After getting a double-play groundball in the second, he walked the next two batters on eight pitches before giving up a two-run double to Brian Serven. Even though 10 of the 21 batters either walked or struck out, Hudson did not tally up a high pitch count and completed the five frames after throwing 75 pitches. The 26-year-old has tossed five or fewer innings in seven of his last nine starts. His next start will likely be in the middle of next week against Colorado.

Hermitage Artist Retreat and Aspen Music Festival Celebrate Hermitage Prize in Composition
The Hermitage Artist Retreat (Sarasota County, Florida) and the Aspen Music Festival and School (Aspen, Colorado) are commemorating the 10th year of the Hermitage Prize in Composition with a video celebrating the impact of the unique prize. The video features exclusive interviews with past winners, renowned AMFS faculty members, and leading Hermitage Fellows in the field of music reflecting on the impact of the award in its first ten years. To view, please visit: HermitageArtistRetreat.org/HermitagePrizeAspen. At each festival since 2013, an exemplary composition student attending the Aspen Music Festival and School is awarded the distinguished Hermitage Prize in recognition of their accomplishments and to foster the development of future work. The recipient is selected by a distinguished panel of AMFS composition faculty and leadership, and receives a residency at the Hermitage, along with a $1,000 stipend. The idea for this recognition was first conceived when Hermitage Fellow Robert Spano, Music Director of the Atlanta Symphony and the AMFS, was in residence at the Hermitage. Spano emphasized how beneficial the Hermitage had been for him and his work: “The opportunity to be so focused and undistracted – it’s unbelievable – not only because of the time, but because of the space itself.” Thus, the Hermitage Prize in Composition was created to offer the same experience to young talented composers just beginning their careers.

Tampa, Florida, Is Only US Metro Area With Double-Digit Inflation
Most US cities saw a break last month from relentless price increases, as cheaper gasoline helped slow inflation. Only the Tampa, Florida, metropolitan area had double-digit inflation -- up 11.2%, little changed from the 11.3% high in May. Several cities saw declines of at least a half percentage point, including San Diego, where inflation cooled to 7.3% on a year-over-year basis from 8.3% two months earlier. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2699721109314/srq-daily-aug-10-2022 | 2022-08-12T00:24:01Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2699721109314/srq-daily-aug-10-2022 | false | 1 |

Former police officer sentenced to more than 7 years in Jan. 6 case
Related video above: Jan. 6 rioter apologizes to officers at hearing
A former Virginia police officer who was fired after breaching the U.S. Capitol building on January 6, 2021, was sentenced by a federal judge Thursday to more than seven years in prison.
Thomas Robertson entered the Capitol with the first breach of rioters that day, prosecutors said, and marks the second rioter convicted by a jury to be sentenced.
Guy Reffitt, the first riot defendant convicted by a jury, received the same sentence of 87 months behind bars -- the highest sentence in a Jan. 6 case to date.
Washington, D.C. District Court Judge Christopher Cooper said Robertson's actions after the riot were the most "striking and concerning" part of the case before handing down his sentence.
"You think partisan politics is war. You continue to believe conspiracy theories," Cooper said to Robertson, adding: "I sincerely believe you would respond to a call of duty if called to do something like this again."
Robertson, a former sergeant of the Rocky Mount police in Virginia, wrote in a March 2021 text to a friend, "I can kill every agent that they send," assuring they would never see him "surrender to be a political prisoner."
Robertson is one of more than a dozen Jan. 6 defendants so far to opt to take their case to trial instead of entering a plea agreement.
Robertson's substantial sentence -- along with the sentence given to Reffitt -- could encourage Jan. 6 defendants with sights on a trial to instead accept Justice Department plea deals. Only one accused rioter who went to trial was acquitted on all charges.
Cooper noted that Robertson, who was dressed in an orange prison jumpsuit, chose to go to trial and did not accept responsibility for his actions.
"That's your choice," Cooper said. "But this is the consequence of that choice."
Robertson was convicted by a D.C. jury in April on all six charges he faced, including the felony charges of impeding law enforcement officers, obstructing an official proceeding and tampering with evidence.
During his trial, prosecutors detailed what they considered Robertson's preparation for the attack. They presented a post he allegedly wrote a month before January 6, 2021, calling for an "open and armed rebellion" and told the jury he brought three gas masks and food rations to D.C.
Robertson's co-defendant and former subordinate at work, Jacob Fracker, pleaded guilty to conspiracy in March and testified for hours against Robertson, a man he said he used to affectionately call "dad." The jury also heard testimony from D.C. Metropolitan Police Officer Noah Duckett, who said a man prosecutors identified as Robertson struck him and another officer with a stick.
Robertson destroyed his and Fracker's phones before he was arrested and bought 37 guns in violation of his release conditions while awaiting trial, which Cooper considered -- along with Robertson continuing "to advocate for violence" -- when deciding his sentence. | https://www.wcvb.com/article/former-police-officer-sentenced-to-more-than-7-years-in-jan-6-case/40874893 | 2022-08-12T00:29:09Z | https://www.wcvb.com/article/former-police-officer-sentenced-to-more-than-7-years-in-jan-6-case/40874893 | true | 14 |

Athletic Trainer Chris Flores Arrested, Charged with Sexually Assaulting a Minor
August 11, 2022Chris Flores, a well-known athletic trainer based in Southern California, was arrested on Thursday on charges related to sexual assault of a minor.
Per ESPN's Kyle Bonagura and Paolo Uggetti, Flores was taken into custody in Bakersfield after a warrant for his arrest was issued by the Santa Ana Police Department. He had been under investigation by police after allegations surfaced of sexual misconduct involving underage girls.
The allegations stemmed from an audio recording posted on social media in which an adult male voice can be heard trying to convince a young woman to go to the movies. After she declined his request to FaceTime, the male voice responded, "We talked about this, dude. You gotta stop with the nos."
According to Bonagura and Uggetti, "multiple sources familiar with Flores" confirmed it was his voice on the recording. Bonagura added that this isn't the first time Flores has faced sexual assault allegations:
Flores' attorney, Edward Welbourn, denied all allegations to ESPN on Wednesday and said that he couldn't confirm that the male voice on the recording belonged to his client.
"Chris has been a coach, really a teacher and a mentor to kids in the community for many years and all of these allegations that have come out are very shocking to him," Welbourn said. "He absolutely denies any sort of inappropriate relationship or contact with any current or former athlete or student he's trained. All he's tried to do is help kids and move them on in their lives and their careers."
Also known as "Coach Frogg," Flores is a popular trainer in the region known for his association with several current and former college and NFL football players. His business partner, former NFL cornerback Jason David, posted a video on social media declaring that the training facility they co-founded had severed ties with Flores. David also said he would support and cooperate with the police investigation.
"Never in a million years would I ever imagine releasing a public statement to address sexual misconduct allegations that involves Mr. Flores and our innocent little girls," David said. "I'm sick to my stomach. I'm disgusted. I'm outraged." He also encouraged anyone involved to continue to speak up, saying, "We will stand with you."
David and Flores founded Rising Stars in 2017 and later created Stars Prep Academy, which "described itself as a co-op that provides elite sports performance training for middle school athletes." The academy has a relationship with Santiago Charter Middle School in Orange County, and Bonagura and Uggetti reported that roughly 100 students, both male and female, were in the program last year.
As displayed on the Rising Stars informational document, Kansas City Chiefs receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, New York Giants cornerback Adoree Jackson, Alabama quarterback Bryce Young and Clemson quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei are among the athletes included as part of "Our Stars Family." | https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10045140-athletic-trainer-chris-flores-arrested-charged-with-sexually-assaulting-a-minor | 2022-08-12T00:34:48Z | https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10045140-athletic-trainer-chris-flores-arrested-charged-with-sexually-assaulting-a-minor | false | 2 |

WILMINGTON, Ohio — An armed man clad in body armor who tried to breach the FBI's Cincinnati office on Thursday was shot and killed by police after he fled the scene and engaged in an hourslong standoff in a rural part of the state, the Ohio State Highway Patrol said.
The confrontation came as officials warned of an increase in threats against federal agents in the days following a search of former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
The man is believed to have been in Washington in the days leading up to the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection and may have been present at the Capitol on the day of the attack, according to a law enforcement official briefed on the matter. The official could not discuss details of the investigation publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
The suspect was identified as Ricky Shiffer, 42, according to the law enforcement official. He was not charged with any crimes in connection with the Jan. 6 attack, the official said. Federal investigators are examining whether Shiffer may have had ties to far-right extremist groups, including the Proud Boys, the official said.
Shiffer "attempted to breach" the visitor's screening area at the FBI office at around 9:15 a.m., and fled when agents confronted him, according to federal authorities' account of the incident. After fleeing onto Interstate 71, he was spotted by a trooper and fired shots as the trooper pursued him, said Lt. Nathan Dennis, a Ohio State Highway Patrol spokesperson, at a press conference.
Shiffer left the interstate north of Cincinnati and abandoned his car on rural roads, where he exchanged gunfire with police and sustained injuries, though no one else was hurt, Dennis said.
Shiffer was shot after he raised a gun toward police at around 3 p.m. Thursday, Dennis said. The fatal encounter with police happened after negotiations failed and police tried unsuccessfully to use "less lethal tactics," Dennis said, without providing details.
State highway workers blocked off roads leading to the scene as a helicopter flew over the area. Officials locked down a mile radius near the interstate and urged residents and business owners to lock doors and stay inside. The interstate has been reopened.
There have been growing threats in recent days against FBI agents and offices across the country since federal agents executed a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago. On Gab, a social media site popular with white supremacists and antisemites, users have warned they are preparing for an armed revolution.
Federal officials have also been tracking an array of other concerning chatter on Gab and other platforms threatening violence against federal agents. FBI Director Christopher Wray denounced the threats as he visited another FBI office in Nebraska on Wednesday.
"Violence against law enforcement is not the answer, no matter who you're upset with," Wray said Wednesday in Omaha.
The FBI on Wednesday also warned its agents to avoid protesters and ensure their security key cards are "not visible outside FBI space," citing an increase in social media threats to bureau personnel and facilities. It also warned agents to be aware of their surroundings and potential protesters.
The warning did not specifically mention this week's search of Mar-a-Lago but attributed the online threats to "recent media reporting on FBI investigative activity."

Twitter on Thursday said it was rolling out plans to combat misinformation on the platform ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.
Those plans include enforcing its civic integrity policy, which prohibits content that contains false or misleading information about the election or content that may suppress voting, preventing misleading tweets from being recommended to users, and protections for candidate and journalist accounts, Twitter said.
“Twitter is the place to find real-time, reliable information about the 2022 midterms – whether you’re looking for breaking news from reporters, information on voting or policy positions from candidates,” the company said in a statement.
“We aim to enable healthy civic conversation on Twitter, while ensuring people have the context they need to make informed decisions about content they encounter,” Twitter wrote.
The platform has previously withstood criticism for misinformation spread on its platform surrounding elections and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Twitter repeatedly labeled some of then-President Trump’s tweets as misleading in the lead up to and after the 2020 presidential election, and the company permanently suspended him from the platform following the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol.
The platform on Thursday said it has tested new misleading information labels that increased clickthrough rates by 17 percent and decreased engagement, measured through metrics like the number of replies, retweets and likes.
Twitter said it prohibits accounts that misrepresent affiliation to a candidate or elected officials and the company was taking further action to protect accounts representing government officials, candidates and journalists.
Those new steps include “more sophisticated” alerts for suspicious activity, increased login defenses and expedited account recovery.
“Accounts will be reminded to use a strong password, encouraged to enable two-factor authentication and asked to check the third-party apps they’ve connected to their accounts,” Twitter said. “We will also enable password reset protection for accounts by default to help prevent unauthorized password changes.” | https://cw39.com/hill-politics/twitter-announces-civic-integrity-plans-ahead-of-2022-midterms/ | 2022-08-12T00:35:12Z | https://cw39.com/hill-politics/twitter-announces-civic-integrity-plans-ahead-of-2022-midterms/ | true | 18 |
The dating game has undergone a huge shift due to technological advancements in the digital space over the past 20 years. A 2017 survey from Stanford University revealed that most heterosexual couples met through their friends in the year 2000. Meeting as coworkers and at a bar or restaurant were the second and third most popular ways new couples were formed. At the time, meeting online ranked fourth but had shown a sharp growth trajectory.
Today, I want to look at a U.S. stock that has thrived on these trends: Match Group (NASDAQ:MTCH). This company owns and operates the largest portfolio of dating products around the world.
Here’s why investors should be excited about the online dating space
That same Stanford survey showed that in 2017, most couples met online. The online space greatly outpaced meeting at a bar or restaurant, meeting through friends, or as coworkers.
Market researcher Grand View Research estimated that the global online dating application market was valued at US$7.5 billion in 2021. The report projected that the market would deliver a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5% from 2022 through to 2030.
Investors should be eager to get in on this burgeoning space. Shares of Match Group have plunged 50% in 2022 as of close on August 10. The stock is down 52% year-over-year. Now is a great time to consider snatching up this under-the-radar U.S. stock on the dip.
How does Match Group look after the first half of 2022?
This company released its second quarter fiscal 2022 results on August 2. It delivered total revenue growth of 12% to reach $795 million. Meanwhile, adjusted operating income increased 9% year-over-year to $286 million.
Some of Match’s top dating services include Plenty of Fish, Match.com, OkCupid, and Hinge. However, it is best known for its iconic dating app Tinder. This app allows users to scroll through profiles. Users “swipe right” to like a profile or “swipe left” to dislike or reject a given profile. When users match likes, they can establish a connection.
In Q2 2022, Match reported that Tinder achieved direct revenue growth of 13%. This was driven by 14% payers growth to 10.9 million. Signing up to Tinder is free. However, users who want to make the most of the service will be compelled to upgrade their profiles. Tinder markets this service to users who are looking to make more connections. For example, a Tinder Gold profile will run a user $29.99 per month.
The remaining Match brands delivered direct revenue growth of 12%. This was powered by revenue per payer (RPP) growth of 10% and total payer growth of 2% to 5.5 million.
Is Match Group worth buying right now?
This U.S. stock is in a great position to benefit from the fast-growing online dating space. The pandemic inspired even more users to migrate to this method, as meeting through work or bars and restaurants was impeded due to mass closures of in-person businesses.
Match stock is currently trading in favourable value territory compared to its industry peers. It’s also geared up for strong earnings growth going forward. I’m looking to snatch up Match Group on the dip in the late summer of 2022. | https://www.fool.ca/2022/08/11/1-under-the-radar-u-s-stock-to-buy-in-august/ | 2022-08-12T00:35:13Z | https://www.fool.ca/2022/08/11/1-under-the-radar-u-s-stock-to-buy-in-august/ | true | 1 |

Shares of San Francisco-based genetic testing and data company Invitae Corporation (NVTA) exploded higher after reporting earnings Tuesday night. After 6.5 trading hours on Wednesday, Invitae stock had nearly tripled in value before traders began cashing in some gains. In fact, on Thursday the stock has returned over half of yesterday’s gains, trading 47% lower.
While investors were initially thrilled by the news, Morgan Stanley analyst Tejas Savant observed there were actually "no surprises" in Invitae's report, given that most of what the company announced had already been pre-announced three weeks ago, when Invitae paired the revelation that its CEO was stepping down with an earnings warning.
Is this something that should worry investors?
Just like Invitae said back in July, Q2 2022 revenues ended up growing 18% year over year, to $136.6 million, with testing volumes growing 20%. Gross profit margins came in at just 19.2% -- down nearly half from the 35.4% margins enjoyed in Q2 2021. Cash burn in the quarter was slower than last quarter, but still an unhealthy $147 million.
And of course, Invitae lost money for the quarter: $2.5 billion in net losses, or $10.87 per share -- quite a lot for a stock that started the day costing only $2.29 per share.
So, what can possibly explain the share price jump?
Well, there's the fact that most of Invitae's loss was a non-cash loss, due to "a complete write-down of goodwill of $2.3 billion, which was a result of a significant, sustained decline in the stock price and related market capitalization and a lower than expected financial performance." That's a true one-time event that's not likely to be repeated anytime soon (one hopes). And even Savant admits that Invitae has taken some "positive steps towards recovery."
The company served 11% more patients in Q2 than in Q1, for example. It also collected 15% more revenue per patient served in Q2 than in Q1, while cutting its operating costs as a percentage of revenue.
That being said, guidance today is the same as it was three weeks ago. Management is standing pat on its July prediction of $505 million to $520 million in fiscal 2022 sales, down from its previous prediction of $640 million. Gross margins are likely to recover to no more than 42% or 43% for the year. And cash burn for the year could be as high as $650 million.
Granted, cash burn is scheduled to decline by more than half in 2023, to a range of between $225 million and $275 million, and sales growth could resume in 2023 in somewhere between the 15% to 25% range. For the time being, those prospects are enough to convince Savant to stick with an "equal-weight" (i.e. Neutral) rating on Invitae stock. That being said, he still thinks the shares are worth no more than $4 apiece. (To watch Savant's track record, click here)
With Invitae having shot up to twice that price already on Wednesday, one shouldn't be at all surprised to see today's 47% crash.
Overall, Wall Street appears to agree with Savant that caution is required here. The analyst consensus on this stock is a Hold, based on 8 ratings that include 6 Holds and 2 Sells. At $2.88, the average price target implies a 37% downside from the current share price of $4.59. (See NVTA stock forecast on TipRanks)

The DOGE/USD pair matches the popular cryptocurrency – Dogecoin (DOGE) – with the world’s primary reserve currency – the American dollar (USD). The pairing represents how many dollars are needed to buy one Dogecoin.
The Dogecoin cryptocurrency was introduced to the market in December 2013. It was created by IBM software engineer Billy Markus and Adobe engineer Jackson Palmer, featuring the face of the famous Doge meme’s Shiba Inu dog as its logo. The Dogecoin protocol is based on the now-defunct Luckycoin, which was a fork of Litecoin (LTC).
Throughout years, the coin’s use has evolved beyond a fun meme. The coin’s unlimited supply and relatively low price have made it popular for small transactions among social media communities. It is now being accepted by some online stores for payment. DOGE has also become available on many cryptocurrency exchanges, boosting its trading volumes.
With Capital.com’s comprehensive DOGE/USD price chart, you can now only quickly view the current value of Dogecoin, but also trace its price in historic terms.
Like other cryptocurrencies, Dogecoin is known for its high price volatility. At its launch, the coin was worth $0.000232. The first significant price spike happened in December 2017 when the market rallied across the board with Bitcoin (BTC) reaching $20,000 for the first time.
After peaking at $0.0171 on January 1, 2018, DOGE dropped to trade between $0.002-$0.003. In March 2020, during the broader market selloff caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, the coin dropped to $0.001, right before soaring to $0.004 in July. After falling below the $0.003 level in September, it gained another upward momentum in December and closed the year at $0.004.
On January 2, 2021, Dogecoin’s price doubled from $0.0056 to $0.0106 but slipped to trade at $0.0072 on January 27. The coin then soared to $0.0779 on January 29, however, it quickly fell to $0.0224 on January 30. A strong rally then followed, driven by a series of tweets from Tesla CEO Elon Musk and rapper Snoop Dogg, as well as discussions on Reddit. On February 8, DOGE traded at $0.0849, making it the ninth-largest cryptocurrency with a market capitalisation of $10.8bn.
Due to the extremely volatile nature of the crypto market, the DOGE/USD crypto-to-fiat currency pairing offers huge potential for speculation and makes it a strong alternative to traditional forex markets. Traders can try to profit from the DOGE/USD rate fluctuations by taking long or short positions on the pair, using Capital.com’s proprietary trading platform that features a real-time Dogecoin price chart and charges zero per cent commission on trades.

Brendan Rodgers stood at the plate for an extra moment and watched his three-run homer sail deep into the left-field bleachers.
Why not? The Rockies deserved to strut their stuff on a hot Thursday afternoon at Coors Field.
Powered by their six-run seventh inning and a solid start by right-hander German Marquez, they held on to beat the Cardinals, 8-6, to clinch the three-game series.
“That felt really good, to hit a big homer against a really good team and win the series,” said Rodgers, who hit his 11th homer of the season and is slashing .395/.427/.519 in 20 games since the All-Star break.
The Cardinals, in a dogfight with Milwaukee for the National League Central title, came to Colorado riding a seven-game winning streak but were bludgeoned by Rockies hitters in Games 1 and 3.
But nothing comes easy for the Rockies this season. The Cardinals scored three runs in the eighth off slumping set-up man Alex Colome. Nolan Gorman drew a leadoff walk and MVP candidate Paul Goldschmidt made Colome pay by mashing a two-run homer to left. Former Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado followed with a solo homer.
Over his last nine appearances, Colome has an ERA of 14.84. Manager Bud Black said that fatigue could “potentially” be a factor and indicated Colome will no longer be the eighth-inning pitcher.
“He’s had a rough last 10 or 11 games, so we might have to reposition him (in the bullpen) moving forward,” Black said.
Right-hander Carlos Estevez relieved Colome and put down the Cardinals’ rally. Closer Daniel Bard walked a tightrope in the ninth as the Cardinals loaded the bases and scored a run. But Bard closed out the game by striking out Arenado — looking — with men on first and third, for his 24th save in 26 chances.
Colorado’s seventh began innocently enough, with Sam Hilliard and Brian Serven drawing one-out walks off right-hander Jordan Hicks. Genesis Cabrera relieved Hicks and allowed RBI singles to Charlie Blackmon and Jose Iglesias, followed by Rodgers’ 407-foot home run. Ryan McMahon then blasted a solo shot to right, giving Colorado an 8-2 lead.
“It was pretty simple. With runners in scoring position, (Cabrera) favors toward his off-speed (stuff),” said Rodgers, who blasted the first pitch he saw from Cabrera. “He’s got a pretty good curveball and a good change and he throws high-90s, too.
“So I pretty much eliminated the heater there on the first pitch, so I was either looking for a curveball up or a changeup out over (the plate). The changeup kind of cut on him and I put a good swing on it.”
Since a miserable April when he hit .078, Rodgers has been Colorado’s best overall hitter, batting .318 with 11 homers, 23 doubles, two triples and 55 RBIs.
“He’s growing before our eyes,” Black said.
The Cardinals tested Marquez but he hung tough for six innings and left with the game tied 2-2. The right-hander gave up eight hits, struck out six and walked one.
“My slider was really good today and I was hitting my spot when I wanted to,” Marquez said. “That pitch changed everything.”
St. Louis threatened to blow Marquez off the mound in a two-run fourth. Gorman led off with a second-deck homer to right and Goldschmidt followed with a double. Corey Dickerson, the former Rockies outfielder who was 3-for-4, doubled home Goldschmidt.
But Marquez snuffed out the Cardinals’ potential big inning by getting Paul DeJong to pop out to first baseman Elehuris Montero and then striking out Tyler O’Neil.
“I thought he competed well when he needed to and got out of some innings,” Black said.
Marquez is 3-2 with a 3.11 ERA over his last six starts, striking out 27 and walking nine.
The Rockies got on the board in the second inning on a two-run double by catcher Serven, who drove in Garrett Hampson and Hilliard, both of whom drew walks off starter Dakota Hudson. Hillard finished the day with a career-high three walks.
The Rockies open a three-game series against Arizona on Friday night at Coors Field.

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard: their story would reach television – People – Culture
Johnny Depp and Amber Heard got involved in one of the most media trials of recent years. It all started when the actress decided to publish an opinion column in the ‘Washington Post’ saying her ex-husband, the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ actor, had allegedly physically and sexually abused her on several occasions.
(Keep reading: Diego Bertie: the actor’s niece asks that they respect his duel).
This generated a wave of rejection against Depp, as both public opinion and the film industry began to close their doors on him. The artist even lost important roles in different film productions while trying to clarify the reality of the events.
This is what happened to him with ‘Fantastic Animals’, from Warner Bros., and with his role as Captain ‘Jack Sparrow’ in the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ saga. Given the repercussion generated by the issue, he decided to sue for defamation against his wife from 2015 to 2017.
Finally, it was Jhonny Dep, who ended up as the winner of the legal dispute, in which he was declared innocent of domestic violence and, in addition, was awarded a compensation of 10 million dollarswhich must be paid by Amber Heard.

Will the trial be brought to television?
Two months after what happened in that hearing on May 27, it was a matter of time before a film or television director was interested in taking the case to the entertainment industry. Everything seems to indicate that it will be an adaptation in one of the chapters of the iconic series ‘Law and Order: special victims unit’.
US media have published some images of the 24th season of the production, in which banners similar to those that were shown during the real trial are seen. The portal ‘Entertainment Tonight’, for example, showed the previous moments of a recording in the vicinity of a court.

In social networks, it has become a trend that Olivia Benso, a character from the police series, would be the legal representative of actress Julia Goldain, who is supposed to play Amber Heard.Keep in mind that this is a rumor and absolutely nothing has been confirmed by the production yet.

Final Senegal legislative vote tally confirms ruling party lost absolute majority
- Country:
- Senegal
Senegal's constitutional council on Thursday confirmed the results of the July 31 legislative vote that saw the ruling Benno Bokk Yakaar (BBY) coalition lose its comfortable majority in parliament. The published final results confirmed President Macky Sall's BBY won 82 out of 165 seats, one short of the 83 required for an absolute majority, while the alliance of opposition coalitions Yewwi Askane Wi (YAW) and the Wallu Senegal won 80.
BBY secured 125 seats in the last parliamentary poll in 2017, and its loss of 43 seats reflects growing public acrimony towards Sall, fuelled in part by his refusal to state clearly whether he plans to run for a third mandate in 2024 in breach of term limits.

Tennis-Kyrgios produces another showstopper to down compatriot de Minaur
It's just tough mentally, it's never easy to play a friend like that, especially if they're an Australian." Kyrgios next faces Poland's Hubert Hurkacz in the quarter-final round. SUPERB AUGER-ALIASSIME In other matches, Felix Auger-Aliassime harnessed his mighty serve to down Briton Cameron Norrie 6-3 6-4 to delight his home crowd, while Norwegian Casper Ruud outlasted Roberto Bautista Agut in a closely-fought three sets. Competing in his local town of Montreal, the 22-year-old Auger-Aliassime sent over 15 aces and won all but three of his first-serve points, breaking in the penultimate game of both sets on Centre Court.
Australian Nick Kyrgios produced another extraordinary performance to demolish compatriot Alex de Minaur 6-2 6-3 at the Canadian Masters on Thursday, a day after stunning world number one Daniil Medvedev. The fiery Wimbledon finalist has been playing the best tennis of his career and is showing no signs of slowing down in Montreal, where he won the first four games of the opening set in which de Minaur won scarcely more than half of his first-serve points.
The pair traded breaks to open the second set but 27-year-old Kyrgios would not be denied, breaking de Minaur on the third try in the third game and again in the seventh. Kyrgios briefly appeared agitated when he gave up a break in the penultimate game but found his composure to get the job done in a little over an hour, breaking back to love in the final game.
The win will move Kyrgios high enough in the rankings to be seeded at the U.S. Open later this month. "I did what had to be done. He's a hell of a player if you play to his strengths, he's one of the best players from the back in the game, he's just so fast," Kyrgios said of de Minaur in on-court remarks after the match.
Kyrgios has won 15 of his last 16 matches and a day earlier produced a serve-and-volley masterclass to stun Medvedev 6-7(2) 6-4 6-2. He said the effort had certainly taken a toll. "Incredibly tough, after yesterday's big high-playing Daniil. The crowd was amazing, it's a day I'll probably never ever forget," he said.
"Today was really hard for me mentally to play Alex, we're such good friends and he's been having such a good career so far carrying the Australian flag. It's just tough mentally, it's never easy to play a friend like that, especially if they're an Australian." Kyrgios next faces Poland's Hubert Hurkacz in the quarter-final round.
SUPERB AUGER-ALIASSIME In other matches, Felix Auger-Aliassime harnessed his mighty serve to down Briton Cameron Norrie 6-3 6-4 to delight his home crowd, while Norwegian Casper Ruud outlasted Roberto Bautista Agut in a closely-fought three sets.
Competing in his local town of Montreal, the 22-year-old Auger-Aliassime sent over 15 aces and won all but three of his first-serve points, breaking in the penultimate game of both sets on Centre Court. British number one Norrie made five double faults and never had the momentum against a clinical Auger-Aliassime, who collected his first ATP title in Rotterdam this year and wrapped up Thursday's affair in a tidy 72 minutes.
"Montreal people are really proud people," Auger-Aliassime was quoted as saying by the ATP, crediting the crowd with helping his performance. "We are a small community in the world. We support each other in what we do, especially in professional sport."
The U.S. Open semi-finalist will next face Ruud in the quarter-finals after the world number seven saw off Bautista Agut 6-7(4) 7-6(4) 6-4. Briton Daniel Evans fought back after a disastrous second set to overcome American Taylor Fritz 7-6(5) 1-6 7-5, producing a remarkable defence as he fended off a dozen break points.
Britain's Jack Draper advanced after France's Gael Monfils retired in the second set with what appeared to be an injury to his right ankle.

Safaree and his rumored girlfriend Kimbella Matos are considering damage control after an alleged video of them leaked online while some fans are pointing to Erica Mena to be behind the leak.
The Love and Hip Hop Atlanta star and Kimbella have been in the news a lot lately, thanks to their public feud with his ex-wife Erica Mena. In June, Mena called Matos a “prostitute” and slammed Safaree Samuels for dating her while they were still married.
Almost two months later, Safaree and Kimbella are dealing with a leaked video. It’s unclear how folks on Twitter obtained the video which shows the couple getting it in. Only a couple seconds of it was shown on Twitter by an account that directed fans to their paid Patreon account to get the full video.
Neither Safaree nor Kimbella Matos have addressed the leaked video, but the reality TV star revealed he was tested positive for Covid-19, which turned out to be a false positive. “Test came back negative don’t worry! False results I’m A ok,” he wrote on IG while sharing a video of himself dancing to the news.
Safaree also shows off his latest chain with a custom pendant with a picture of himself with his two kids on one side and a picture of Bob Marley on the other side.
In the meantime, female fans who often drool over the rapper are reacting to the leaked video, and most seem underwhelmed by his performance. “This video coulda stayed in the vault am sorry this is very underwhelming,” one female wrote, while another added, “this does not make me feel nothing, very disappointing.”
Some fans are already pointing fingers at Erica Mena as the person behind the leak. “Am I the only one who already know Erica leaked this?” one fan questioned. “We all know Erica behind this leak and it might backfire am tired of these people anyway,” another fan said. | https://barbadosgazette.com/safaree-kimbella-private-video-leaked-fans-point-to-erica-mena/ | 2022-08-12T01:04:39Z | https://barbadosgazette.com/safaree-kimbella-private-video-leaked-fans-point-to-erica-mena/ | false | 13 |
GRAPHIC: Woman drowns small Chihuahua in pool, brags about it on social media, sheriff says
BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. (Gray News) – Police in Florida have charged a woman with animal cruelty after they said they obtained video of her drowning a dog in a pool in October.
In a video posted on Facebook, Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey said 32-year-old Erica Black was previously taken into custody in late July and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon for stabbing a 68-year-old man twice.
In August, Ivey said Black’s roommate then came to the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office with surveillance video that reportedly has Black drowning a small Chihuahua named Sadie in a swimming pool.
“The video that we have of her drowning her little Chihuahua is the most horrific thing I’ve ever seen in my life,” Ivey said in the Facebook video. “There is a special place in hell for this woman, and until she gets there, she’s going to rot in our jail.”
Warning: The video description is graphic and may be disturbing for some readers.
In a shortened video released by the sheriff’s office, a woman is seen holding the small white Chihuahua under her arm as she walks into the pool. She then turns around and crouches, holding the dog below the water.
The video shows the dog struggling to reach the surface of the water while the woman continues to hold it down.
Ivey said the majority of the video has not been released due to how disturbing it is. He described the rest of the video, saying Black lets the dog’s body rise and float on the pool’s surface after it had been drowned and records it in the water. Ivey said she then picked the body out of the water and slammed it four times on the deck.
Ivey said Black left the dog’s body on the poolside furniture for several days and then went live on social media, showing people what she had done.
The Facebook video ends with Ivey meeting with Black and an officer as she is being taken to jail.
“You know, usually when I’m walking people in, I have something to say to them,” Ivey said to Black as she was escorted to jail. “I’m disgusted by you.”
The sheriff said Black was in jail on a $150,000 bond for the aggravated assault charge and had an additional $15,000 bond added for the animal cruelty charge.
For any incidents of animal abuse in Brevard County, Florida, the sheriff asks you to call 321-633-2024.

Pirates' Castro has phone fly from back pocket during slide
PHOENIX — (AP) — Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Rodolfo Castro apparently can’t go anywhere without his phone.
Called up from Triple-A Indianapolis before the game, Castro slid headfirst into third in the fourth inning against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday night and had his phone fly out of his back pocket.
Third base umpire Adam Hamari immediately saw the phone and pointed to it on the ground. The 23-year-old Castro picked up the phone and handed it to Pirates third base coach Mike Rebelo, who had an exasperated look on his face before taking it.
Major League Baseball has cracked down on technology being used on the field since the Houston Astros used live TV feeds to steal opposing teams' signs during their run to the 2017 World Series championship and part of the 2018 season.
Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow and manager A. J. Hinch were suspended for the 2020 season. The Astros also were fined $5 million and forfeited their first- and second-round picks in 2020 and 2021.
No word on if Castro had the ringer on vibrate.

Bret Hart on Vince McMahon’s retirement
Bret Hart recently spoke with Bill Apter at The Gathering Wrestling Convention and had the following to say when asked about his reaction to the WWE retirement of Vince McMahon:
“I’m like everybody else, I’m mostly just kind of surprised. I don’t think anybody’s ever made as big a footprint as Vince McMahon and, you know, I feel kind of sad about it, actually. I know people probably think I would be gloating or happy to see him go through what he’s going but I don’t. I feel bad that it happened or whatever has happened. I think his loss or his absence from the business will be sorely missed.” | https://www.gerweck.net/2022/08/11/bret-hart-on-vince-mcmahons-retirement/ | 2022-08-12T01:28:07Z | https://www.gerweck.net/2022/08/11/bret-hart-on-vince-mcmahons-retirement/ | false | null |
Thailand's tourism-reliant economy likely gathered pace in Q2
Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com
BENGALURU, Aug 12 (Reuters) - Thailand's economy likely grew at its fastest pace in a year last quarter, thanks to increased tourism as pandemic curbs eased, but the high cost of living and a slowdown in China pose threats to the outlook, a Reuters poll showed.
Growth in the tourism-dependent economy is estimated at 3.1% year-on-year in the second quarter, according to the median forecast of 16 economists polled between Aug. 8 and 11, up from 2.2% growth in the previous quarter.
However, on a quarterly basis, gross domestic product (GDP) grew a seasonally-adjusted 0.9%, slowing slightly from 1.1% in the preceding quarter, the median forecast from a smaller sample of 12 economists showed.

Forecasts ranged from 0.1% to 1.3%, highlighting uncertainties surrounding the recovery of Southeast Asia's second-largest economy from the pandemic. The data are due to be released on Aug. 15.
"Thailand's crucial tourism sector is a significant part of the economy and a faster-than-expected revival should lift overall growth," said Chua Han Teng, economist at DBS.
"That said, the tourism sector's significant reliance on Chinese tourists suggests a full recovery to pre-pandemic numbers remains quite some time away, if China does not loosen its zero-COVID policy."
Thailand received 1.07 million foreign tourists in July, up from 767,497 the previous month.
The government has estimated foreign tourist arrivals will reach 10 million this year. Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha said the economy was expected to grow 3.3% this year and 4.2% next year, helped by increased tourism. read more
But an ongoing COVID-19 situation in China, which still pursues a zero-COVID strategy, has stoked fears of a delay in the return of Chinese tourists. That, along with a slowdown in the world's second-biggest economy, increases the risk of a deep global recession. read more
"Heightened fears of a global recession amid an uncertain environment could act as a drag on Thailand's economy and pose downside risks to our growth forecast," DBS' Han Teng added.
A separate Reuters poll showed Thailand's economy would grow 3.4% this year and then accelerate to 4.1% in 2023, before slowing to 3.5% in 2024.
But inflation remains a concern. The headline rate dipped to 7.61% in July but was still near June's 14-year high and well above the Bank of Thailand's (BOT) target range of 1%-3%.
"There's no clear sign that inflation would clearly come down or significantly fall," said Tim Leelahaphan, economist at Standard Chartered.

Is Phil Collins concerned about his daughter’s behavior on the set of her TV show? One tabloid claims Lily Collins is garnering a reputation for being “hard to work with.” Here’s what we know about the alarming rumor.
Phil Collins’s ‘Headache Over Diva Daughter’?
This week’s edition of Woman’s Day reports Lily Collins is raising some serious red flags on the set of her TV show Emily in Paris. According to the tabloid’s source, her dad, Phil Collins, would be “quite upset” to know how she’s been behaving at work. Apparently, Lily has been incredibly rude behind the scenes. Sources dish that she won’t “say a word to anybody” and “won’t smile at anyone in the crew.”

And now, word has apparently gotten back to her dad. “Phil hopes there is nothing to the chatter—he would be mortified. I think he’ll probably sit her down and give her a lecture. He’d never want Lily being perceived as trouble, regardless of what’s happened,” the tipster confides.
Apparently, Phil is worried Lily has gotten off track without his influence. Despite being an internationally beloved musician, sources say he’s tried to imbue his daughter with his own down-to-earth personality. “Phil is a global rock star but he always had respect for others. He doesn’t want Lily’s recently boosted fame going to her head,” the insider concludes.
Phil Collins ‘Quite Upset’ With Daughter?
It’s bizarre that the magazine thinks it can get away with this kind of slander. While the tabloid may have just realized Lily Collins is a professional actress, she’s actually been landing substantial roles for over ten years. At 33 years old, this is hardly her first taste of fame or her first time on a film set.
So, if she’s really so horrible to work with, why haven’t we heard about it before now? There isn’t a single reputable report backing up this tabloid’s story. As far as we know, Lily Collins hasn’t been stirring up any trouble. If she had been, she likely wouldn’t continue to get steady work in this business.
Furthermore, things don’t seem too tense between her and her dad. On Fathers’ Day, Lily posted an adorable throwback photo of her dad holding her when she was young. In the caption, she wrote, “On or off stage, to me you’re just Dad. Thank you for being such an inspiration now, then, and always. Happy Father’s Day – I love you so much…”
Since that was our last genuine update about the famous father and daughter, we have no reason to trust the outlet’s unlikely story.
More Gossip From The Tabloid
While it doesn’t often go after Phil Collins and his family, Woman’s Day is constantly spreading lies about celebrities. Just a few weeks ago, the outlet claimed Chris Evans was dating Shakira. Then the rag alleged Leonardo DiCaprio’s girlfriend was making him stop hanging out with his friends. And more recently, the publication reported Ana de Armas was crushing on Brad Pitt. There isn’t a single topic we’d trust Woman’s Day to report accurately on. | https://www.suggest.com/phil-collins-lily-upset-daughter-rumored-on-set-issues/2668023/ | 2022-08-12T01:39:13Z | https://www.suggest.com/phil-collins-lily-upset-daughter-rumored-on-set-issues/2668023/ | true | 1 |
Rodgers, McMahon go deep, Rockies top Goldschmidt, Cards 8-6
By MIKE CRANSTON
Associated Press
DENVER (AP) — Brendan Rodgers and Ryan McMahon hit back-to-back home runs in a six-run seventh inning, and the Colorado Rockies held off the St. Louis Cardinals 8-6 to secure their first series win since the All-Star break. The Rockies overcame three more hits from Paul Goldschmidt, including his 27th home run, to improve to 7-14 since July 22. Former Rockies slugger Nolan Arenado hit his 24th home run to extend his hitting streak to nine games, but the Cardinals lost for the second time in three tries since winning seven straight. The Cardinals saw their lead over Milwaukee in the NL Central sliced to a half-game ahead of their three-game series in St. Louis starting Friday. | https://kyma.com/sports/ap-sports/2022/08/11/rodgers-mcmahon-go-deep-rockies-top-goldschmidt-cards-8-6/ | 2022-08-12T01:42:15Z | https://kyma.com/sports/ap-sports/2022/08/11/rodgers-mcmahon-go-deep-rockies-top-goldschmidt-cards-8-6/ | true | null |

Dengue Fever
We’re settling in to our daughter Orla’s sixth night in the hospital. Visiting hours are over and only ten of the beds in our 32-bed pediatric ward are occupied tonight, down from 20 a few nights ago. The patients – mostly young teens in our room – are tucked in under mosquito nets. Their carers – mainly grandmas, aunts and moms – are slouched in chairs or curled around their patients on the beds. A few of us stretch out on unoccupied beds to get some rest before the nurse turns on the lights for the next regular blood pressure and temp check.
Our 14 year-old was admitted to the pediatric ward with dengue fever on July 19th, Revolution Day in Nicaragua. Poor Orla sobbed in disappointment that she wouldn’t be able to celebrate the holiday. After two days of fever, I had taken her to the emergency room in our local Ciudad Sandino Primary Hospital where the blood work they ordered indicated dengue and showed that her platelet count was low enough to be of concern. “She’ll be staying here with us,” the doctor announced. Since then, either my husband Paul or I have been with her in the hospital, tasked with making sure she’s kept hydrated and informed of her progress via blood test results each day.
Dengue fever is a virus transmitted by mosquitoes that propagate in the tropics during the rainy season and it affects 50 million people annually worldwide. Nicaragua works to control outbreaks through regular house-to-house fumigation and eliminating stagnant water – the epidemiology department of the health services visited our house shortly after Orla was hospitalized to get kill any mosquitoes or larvae. There is no cure for dengue, just symptom management over its eight-day cycle. The virus attacks the body and can cause leakage in vessel walls, resulting in water loss in the circulatory system and rapid dehydration. Much rarer severe cases can cause internal bleeding and for blood platelets to drop to dangerously low levels. Hemorrhagic dengue is particularly dangerous because patients can go into shock and die before they can get the blood transfusion they need.
Because of this risk, the Nicaraguan Ministry of Health’s policy is to hospitalize anyone with dengue who shows signs of possible complications, including low blood platelets. Thanks to this prudent policy and quality care, Nicaragua is the country with fewer deaths from dengue than any other country in the region – in a normal year, zero deaths. Treatment for the 12 pediatric patients we’ve seen come through our room has been intravenous rehydration fluids and ultrasounds upon being admitted; blood pressure, temp and blood oxygen level checks every two hours; daily blood tests; and constant monitoring of liquid intake and outflow. Patients with fevers get acetaminophen, patients with suspicious pain are taken for another ultrasound, patients not getting enough fluids are put back on IVs.
Although the staff has been concerned about possible complications for at least four of our patients, including Orla, no one on our ward has been transferred to a larger Managua hospital for emergency transfusions; but the ambulance is standing by outside if its needed. Knowing that gives me incredible peace of mind – at home, how could I possibly have known what Orla’s platelets were doing?
Growing up in the U.S., I never had a close family member admitted to the hospital; in fact, visits to the doctor were rare. As a kid, I remember knowing that if I got sick over the weekend, I’d have to tough it out until Monday when we could see the doctor during office hours. A trip to the emergency room at the hospital – the only after-hours option in my rural county – was too expensive. For the most part, everyone I knew only went to the doctor if they’d been sick for more than a week – their families simply couldn’t afford more frequent care.
By contrast, Nicaraguans seem to go to the doctor all the time. If my neighbor’s kid gets diarrhea, they bring her straight to the emergency room. I used to think this was because people were afraid – in the 1990s and early 2000s, child and infant mortality rates were high in Nicaragua and many kids really did die of preventable diseases. But as child health has improved – infant mortality down by 61% and chronic malnutrition reduced by 66% over the past 15 years – I have finally begun to understand that Nicaraguans take their kids to the hospital because they can.
Back in Idaho where I’m from, Orla’s emergency room visit alone would have cost $2,159 and her six nights in the hospital would have totaled more than $60,000. In the United States, medical debt cripples 41% of all U.S. adults and they scramble to pay outrageous bills: more than a quarter of all fundraisers on crowdfunding sites are for health-related costs.
My mom has been telling her friends in Idaho of our woes. “My granddaughter in Nicaragua has spent the week hospitalized with dengue fever.”
“Oh dear!” Her friends all exclaim (dengue fever does sound awfully dramatic).
“Guess how much their hospital bill is so far?” She asks. They frown and shake their heads, already anticipating that my mom is about to hit them up for donations for a GoFundMe campaign to help cover our bills.
“How much?” They ask.
“Nothing at all!” My mom gleefully reports. “Nicaragua has free universal health care!” Her friends’ shock is palpable. “How,” they ask, “can a poor country like Nicaragua afford to give free health care to its people?”
The answer, of course, is because Nicaragua chooses to make free health care a priority for its people.
Nicaragua’s Trickle-Up Economics
Nighttime in the pediatric ward means little sleep for carers. In the morning I wake at three, holding a sleepy Orla upright while the lab tech gets a blood sample from her arm, and then try to coax a bit more fluid down her throat. Crash back into sleep until the nurse comes to collect the papers where we write down our patients’ intake and outflow and do the consequential math: are more fluids going in than coming out? Next the doctors arrive with the lab results for the day: who gets to go home and who has to stay. The hopeful have their bags packed, waiting. The feverish ones stay wrapped in restless sheets, in and out of consciousness, knowing they’ll be here another night.
On our third morning, I start awake at ten minutes to seven and rush to shower and change before my husband Paul arrives– bless him – with strong coffee and the car keys. I kiss Orla goodbye and drive straight from the hospital to interpret for a delegation that is in Nicaragua to celebrate the 43rd Anniversary of the Triumph of the Sandinista Revolution, when the Nicaraguan people overthrew the cruel Somoza dictatorship.
Our first meeting is with Nicaragua’s Finance Minister Iván Acosta. It’s my first time interpreting for him and I soon realize that even with a full-night’s sleep I couldn’t do him justice with my interpretation. He has an obvious grasp of details – quoting figures off the top of his head and speaking for two hours with no notes – but above all else, Minister Acosta is a Big Picture person. He connects the dots for us between policy, action and results, giving perspective to Nicaragua’s entire revolutionary project.
“When we came into office in 2007, following nearly 17 years of neoliberal governments,” he says, “we found the country in chaos.” Minister Acosta explains that the period from 1990 to 2006 when Nicaragua had followed structural adjustment policies of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund led to extreme inequality, seriously deteriorated infrastructure, and deep poverty, particularly in Nicaragua’s countryside. “There was no magic solution for any of this. What could we do?” He asks.
Nicaragua’s Sandinista government decided on a blend of social responsibility and economic principles. They began restoring rights – to free health care, free public education and land tenure. But they also worked to find ways to ensure that Nicaragua’s poor majority became active participants in the economy as a solution to improve the country’s struggling economy. “We realized that we need to lower the cost of doing business to be competitive; in order to achieve that, we needed to increase public spending.”
To that end, Nicaragua set about building state-of-the-art roads – now the best in the region – to ensure that products could get to market cheaply and easily; improving access to basic services – now reaching 99% electrical coverage up from just 53% in 2006; ending 12-hour a day rolling blackouts and diversifying to generate clean energy – now 80% of the electricity produced is from renewables; training new teachers and building new schools; and building 24 new hospitals since 2007. Over just ten years, Minister Acosta explains, social spending went from being 10% of overall spending to making up 57% of the country’s budget. But have these policies been effective?
“We have these pro-poor policies, but in many countries only lip service is paid to political policy and it isn’t followed by action,” explains Minister Acosta. “So we do the math – all the various quotients and formulae recommended by international experts – to ensure that our policies are being translated into results: real improvements in the lives of the poor.”
The numbers show that not only has Nicaragua’s economy turned around – sustained GDP growth of 5-10%, historic international investment, and 90% food sovereignty have all been achieved – but also the lives of the country’s poor majority have improved. In 2006, GDP per capita was at $990, but by 2018 it had risen to $2,300. “We don’t have a significant middle class yet,” Minister Acosta cautions, but progress is being made.
Nicaragua’s policy could be described as “trickle up economics” – ensure the poor access to health care, education, land, markets, financing…and the economy will follow.
This is the inversion of “trickle down economics,” the U.S. policy made famous by Ronald Reagan which gives tax breaks and benefits to corporations and the wealthy on the theory that it will stimulate economic growth from the top down.
The problem with the U.S. policy is not only a moral one; in economic terms, it just plain doesn’t work.
Under four decades of “trickle down” policy, income inequality in the U.S. has grown to shocking levels: the wealthiest 0.1% have become rich beyond all comprehension, while most U.S. workers now earn less than half of what they would have been earning if incomes had continued to grow equitably.
In other words, tax breaks and benefits to the richest simply don’t trickle down: US families now work longer hours for less pay while struggling to cover skyrocketing costs. Currently, 22% of the U.S. population can’t access health care due to lack of adequate insurance, 12% experiences hunger and more than half a million people are homeless –many living under the country’s collapsing bridges – one in every five of which are in need of reconstruction.
Given what we know about how stability and quality of life for the majority can improve the overall economy, perhaps instead of asking “How can a poor country like Nicaragua afford to give free health care to its people?” We should really be asking, “How can a wealthy country like the United States afford NOT to?”
Nicaragua’s Community and Family-based Health Model
“Dengue is treacherous,” the doctor explains to me. “A patient can suddenly experience internal bleeding and become critical in the blink of an eye.” Orla’s platelets have dropped, and she is in the most crucial day in the virus’ cycle when signs of hemorrhagic dengue can appear. As I sit on the edge of her bed urging her to drink more rehydration fluid, a woman who has been visiting another patient comes over to Orla’s bed carrying a Bible.
“Would you like me to pray for your daughter?” She asks. Orla agrees and the woman asks, “Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior?” I stop her, not wanting her to get the wrong idea. “We’re not Pentecostals,” I say, “but Orla believes in God.” The woman nods and holds her hands out, palms up. We close our eyes as she begins praying in a soft singsong voice, asking God to look after my baby and heal her. When she finishes, she surprises me by saying, “It doesn’t matter which religion we belong to, it’s all the same God.”
That day, Orla turns a corner – her fever drops and her health begins to improve. I’m grateful to all those responsible – as we say here in Nicaragua, “Thanks to God and the Revolution.” Why the Revolution? Because it has restored Nicaraguans’ rights to free quality health care.
Our entire delegation gets to see the quality of this health care up close. After our talk with Minister Acosta, we visit one of the best-equipped hospitals in the country, Velez Paíz, built new and opened in 2018. Director Dr. Virginia Garcia tells us that patients with non-urgent emergencies wait a maximum of 30 minutes to be seen by ER doctors, and that patients wait a maximum of one month for non-emergency surgeries. “We have four laparoscopic towers performing gall bladder surgeries all day every day,” she says; that surgery would cost $54,000 in my home country, but is free in Nicaragua.
I interpret for Minister of Health Dr. Martha Reyes when she describes to the delegation the advances made in public health over the past 15 years. As she speaks, it is easy for me to chart that path from policy to action to results that Minister Acosta talked about. When she finishes speaking, I thank Dr. Reyes personally for the quality care that Orla is receiving in our hometown public hospital. “Not so long ago,” I tell her, “that wouldn’t have been possible.”
When I moved to Ciudad Sandino twenty years ago, our hospital was literally an empty shell, unable to provide even the most basic services to our community of 180,000. Not only did patients in “public” hospitals have to pay for everything from gloves to sutures, but a dengue patient in Orla’s condition would have actually been safer at home – hospitals were in such appalling conditions with lack of staff, beds and even basic sanitation that it was commonly said that hospitals were where patients went to die.
Thanks to public investment in health infrastructure, increase in personnel, improved and specialized training, and tireless work to involve communities and families in their own health care, Ciudad Sandino now has seven health centers and a hospital which includes outpatient, inpatient and emergency care, a maternal wait home, rehabilitation and physical therapy services, a natural medicine center and a center for cataract surgeries – all services offered free of charge. Comparable improvements have happened all over the country – the change in people’s lives is palpable and the results in overall health are measureable: maternal mortality rates have dropped by 70%, deaths from cervical cancer are down by 25% and average life expectancy has increased.
The Privilege of Free Health Care
On the morning of Orla’s seventh day in the hospital, the doctor tells us that her platelets count is high enough to safely send her home. We leave the hospital with nothing more than her official diagnosis paper, a stamped doctor’s excuse for missing school, and a follow up appointment. We owe no money. There is no itemized bill showing how many nights (6), how many sheets were washed (3), how many cafeteria meals she ate (17), how many full blood tests (10), urine tests (1), ultrasounds (1), IVs (1), or how much oral rehydration fluid she drank (53 liters). Orla and I walk out into the sunshine of a new day, ready to rest and recover, secure in the knowledge that the Nicaraguan government has made a choice to look after us…recognizing that it is a privilege to have access to free quality health care.

EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: Liz Truss's Sturgeon comments could be a right royal blunder
Liz Truss's refusal to apologise to Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon for calling her an attention-seeker who should be ignored might have irritated the Queen, I am told. 'HM treats Sturgeon as she treats her Commonwealth PMs and expects mutual respect between them,' says my source. 'They rub along together well enough. HM has a delicate balancing act to play in the independence debate. If the Union splits she will become Queen of Scots. Sturgeon seems fine with that. King Charles is another matter.'

How does the always-fashionable thespian Emma Thompson, pictured during her investiture, like to be addressed?

Mat Rogers pays tribute to his beloved Cronulla Sharks teammate Paul Green after also losing his dad far too soon in tragic circumstances
- Former NRL star Mat Rogers is in disbelief Paul Green died suddenly on Thursday
- Pair played together at Cronulla for three seasons and for Queensland in Origin
- Spent last weekend in Sydney playing golf & attending a NRL game at Shark Park
- Rogers, 46, labelled Green a 'real competitor who never took a backward step'
- If you or anyone you know needs support, contact Lifeline on 13 11 14, or Beyond Blue on 1300 224 636
Dual international Mat Rogers has paid tribute to his former Sharks teammate Paul Green after also losing his father in tragic circumstances.
Rogers, 46, played alongside Green at Cronulla from 1995-1997 as well as for Queensland in a handful of State of Origin series.
The classy winger, who also carved out an impressive rugby union career with the Wallabies before returning to the greatest game of all with the Gold Coast Titans, remains in disbelief about Green dying suddenly on Thursday at his Brisbane home.
Rogers and Green were together last weekend in Sydney, playing a round of golf on Friday before attending a past players reunion at Shark Park, where Craig Fitzgibbons' side beat St George Illawarra in the derby.
'We spent some time together, he (Green) was telling me about the new boat he'd just bought for the family and I was looking forward to going for a ride,' a shattered Rogers said.

Rogers' father Steve - arguably Cronulla's greatest ever player - died in 2006 after drinking alcohol while on anti-depressants - his death was later ruled an accident
'I can't believe he's gone…it makes me appreciate that time I got to spend with him.'
Rogers labelled Green, 49, an 'incredible competitor who never took a backward step'. He often sounded out the premiership-winning coach with the Cowboys for advice after recently establishing his own player management business.
It comes after Rogers' father Steve - arguably Cronulla's greatest ever player - died in 2006.
His death was ruled accidental by the NSW state coroner after he appeared to reach out for help in his final moments.
Mobile phone records revealed the last number the former star centre rang was 888.
The Rogers family believes he was trying to call 000, but in his disoriented state hit eight, above zero on his phone.

Green - aged just 49 - leaves behind his wife Amanda and two children, Jed and Emerson
'Sludge' also wasn't wearing his reading glasses.
He was later found by his brother-in-law Ian Hipwell with Rogers' mobile phone nearby.
Green's passing has rocked the rugby league community.
He leaves behind his wife Amanda and two children, Jed and Emerson.
It has since been confirmed Green took his own life and was said to be struggling with personal demons.
The family sold their Townsville home for $1.85 million in February last year, and Green described the move as 'tough on the family.'
Green was linked to an NRL return with Wayne Bennett Dolphins, who enter the competition next season, as an assistant coach.

Start-ups have been the buzzword in India for the last several years. India is powering its growth with innovation and entrepreneurship. Currently, there are 75,000 start-ups in the country, which coincides with the 75th year of independence.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had envisioned "a new India that taps on the entrepreneurial potential of its people" as he mentioned in the Independence Day speech from the Red Fort on August 15, 2015 (Indian Independence Day). A programme has been initiated to lay out an action plan to build a strong ecosystem for nurturing innovation and start-ups in the country.
In the past six years, the action plan has successfully guided into making India the third largest ecosystem. While the initial 10,000 start-ups were recognised in 808 days, the latest 10,000 were achieved in only 156 days. With more than 80 start-ups getting recognised per day- India holds the highest rate in the world. This further encourages the future start-up culture that is promising and encouraging for budding entrepreneurs. The Indian start-up ecosystem is promising not just for entrepreneurs but also for job seekers too.
An impressive, 7.46 lakh jobs have been created, so far, which has seen a 110 per cent yearly increase over the last six years. In fact, about 49 per cent of Indian start-ups are from Tier II & Tier III, a picture that validates the tremendous potential of Indian youth not limited to metropolitan states. The start-ups India programme, launched by the government of India in 2016, was primarily set up to provide an enabling environment for start-ups.
Today it has evolved into the launch pad for all the budding entrepreneurs and innovators across the nation. It has helped start-ups by providing funds, tax incentives, support for intellectual property rights, an eased public procurement, enabling regulatory reforms, access to international fests and events, and much more.
Currently, of the total recognised start-ups, around 12 per cent cater to IT services, 9 per cent to Healthcare and Life Sciences, 7 per cent to education, 5 per cent to professional and commercial services and 5 per cent to agriculture. The start-up India programme has become synonymous with sustainable economic growth.
A start-up India Seed Fund Scheme (SISFS), is being implemented by the Indian government with effect from 1 April 2021, which provides financial assistance to eligible Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) recognised start-ups for proof of concept, prototype development, product trials, market entry and commercialisation. This enables the start-ups to graduate to a level where they will be able to raise investments from angel investors or venture capitalists or seek loans from commercial banks or financial institutions. SISFS is disbursed to eligible start-ups through eligible incubators across India.
Across 56 diverse industries, India's Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) has recognised start-ups. In fields related to new technologies including the Internet of Things (IoT), robots, artificial intelligence and analytics, more than 4,500 companies have been recognised.
Besides, India's National Initiative for Developing and Harnessing Discoveries (NIDHI), an umbrella initiative started by the Department of Science and Technology (DST), aims to foster knowledge-based and technology-driven innovations into profitable enterprises.
Besides through the Indian government's Promoting and Accelerating Young and Aspiring Innovators and start-ups (PRAYAS) programme, Entrepreneurs-In-Residence (EIR) provides money-related help for turning ideas into prototypes and early-stage seed support to incubated enterprises. This establishes Centers of Excellence (CoE) in incubation and provides mentorship and help in investment readiness through Accelerators.

- Second quarter 2022 net loss was $5,569,000 compared to net loss of $1,212,000 in 2021. The net income in 2021 was supported by the government loan forgiven of $2,195,000 and Canada Emergency Wage Subsidies ("CEWS") of $1,548,000 recognized as other income and a modification gain on bank indebtedness of $1,155,000.
- Second quarter 2022 cash outflows from operating activities were $1,316,000 compared to inflows of $704,000 in 2021. The second quarter of 2021 cash flows from operating activities were supported by the receipt of CEWS of $2,078,000 and the receipt of Canada Emergency Rent Subsidies ("CERS") of $305,000.
- On April 1, 2022, the Company signed a contract with BLR Aerospace to produce King Air 200 Wingtips and shipped the first delivery on June 20, 2022.
- On April 12, 2022, the Company signed a contract extension to 2027 with Boeing to provide the detail parts, bench top assemblies and metal bonded assemblies for the Boeing 737 and 777 aircrafts.
- On May 4, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive arrangement agreement (the "Original Agreement") with Latécoère S.A. ("Latécoère") pursuant to which Latécoère agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Avcorp (each, an "Avcorp Share") for cash consideration of $0.11 per Avcorp Share, by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the "Arrangement"). Pursuant to the Arrangement, the options (the "Avcorp Options") exercisable to acquire Avcorp Shares outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Arrangement will automatically vest and be cancelled in exchange for a cash payment from the Company equal to the amount (if any) by which $0.11 exceeds the exercise price of such Avcorp Option. Together with the repayment or assumption of Avcorp's net debt and other lease liabilities, the Arrangement implies a total transaction value of approximately $139 million for the Company.

On the same date, Avcorp and the Purchaser entered into an amending agreement to the Original Agreement (the Original Agreement as amended, the "Arrangement Agreement") to reflect the Assignment and Delegation.
- On June 30, 2022, Avcorp held its annual general and special meeting (the "Meeting") of holders of commons shares ("Shareholders") and options ("Optionholders", and together with the Shareholders, the "Securityholders").

Review of 2022 Second Quarter Financial Results
For the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Avcorp Group recorded loss from operations of $3,786,000 (June 30, 2021: $1,978,000). Operating loss in the second quarter of 2022 increased in comparison to 2021 by $1,808,000 mainly due to higher administrative and general expenses as a result of transaction related costs and an impairment of assets write-off of $583,000 incurred during the current quarter. The lower loss in 2021 was also supported by the government loan forgiven of $2,195,000 and CEWS of $1,548,000 recognized as other income in the second quarter of 2021. The higher loss in current quarter was partially offset by the higher gross profit of $2,843,000 compared to a gross loss of $706,000 in 2021.
Cash flows from operating activities, before consideration of changes in non-cash working capital, utilized $2,072,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 as compared to utilizing $780,000 cash during the quarter ended June 30, 2021.
The Company ended the quarter with bank operating line utilization of $77,537,000 (USD $60,171,000) offset by $2,013,000 cash compared to utilization of $75,335,000 (USD $59,421,000) with $4,060,000 cash on hand as of December 31, 2021. The bank indebtedness balance of the modification gain and related adjustments as a result of executing the amending agreement in 2021 was $615,000 as at June 30, 2022 (December 31, 2021, gain of $923,000).

California-based Peak 1031 Exchange says actions would adversely affect whole economy, not just investors.
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of President Biden's 2023 budget, the administration proposed severe limitations to 1031 exchanges. The proposal would allow taxpayers to defer up to $500,000 of capital gains ($1 million in the case of married individuals filing a joint return) for each sale of investment property. Any gains in excess of $500,000 (or $1 million, as the case may be) would be recognized by the taxpayer in the year the real property is sold.
President Biden's proposal would, of course, severely limit the property values that investors can use in an exchange. However, it would also adversely impact the economy as a whole. While this proposal is intended to generate $1.95 billion in revenue for the government through taxing the sale of investment real estate, other businesses that generate income as a result of 1031 exchanges were estimated to have produced approximately $7.8 billion in tax revenue last year, according to a May 2021 study by Ernst & Young.
There are numerous ancillary parties involved throughout the 1031 exchange process, including real estate investors, escrow specialists, qualified intermediaries, lenders, attorneys, and appraisers. In total, the Ernst & Young study projected that businesses related to 1031 exchanges would produce 568,000 jobs, create $27.5 billion of labor income and add $55.3 billion to GDP during the course of last year. As a result, if exchanges are limited as President Biden proposes, the negative impact would extend far beyond the prospective sellers.
"Given the overall economic impact of Section 1031, I think it is doubtful that Congress would enact such an aggressive cap on 1031 exchanges," says Kevin M. Levine, Partner and Executive Vice President at Peak 1031 Exchange. "However, we also should not take it for granted that Section 1031 will remain intact as it now is. Each one of us must do our part to ensure that we and the economy as a whole can continue to reap the full benefits of 1031 exchanges."
As a result, we at Peak 1031 Exchange encourage readers to contact their representatives and express their concerns about limiting IRC Section 1031 in the manner described above. This can be done easily by clicking the following: https://1031buildsamerica.org/take-action/

Explainer: Why gas prices are falling
By The Associated Press
U.S. consumers are breathing a bit easier now that gasoline prices have come down from record levels, but pump prices are still high, and the two-month slide could be nearing an end.
The nationwide average price for a gallon of gas dropped to $3.99 on Thursday, according to AAA. That’s down 20% from the mid-June high, and it’s the first time the average has dipped below $4 since early March.
Gasoline prices usually rise and fall with the cost of oil, and crude has also been dropping. The U.S. benchmark price is down nearly one-fourth since early June.
Other factors are also behind this year’s roller-coaster ride in energy prices.
WHAT IS HAPPENING?
Gasoline prices hit a record $5.02 on June 14. At the time, U.S. crude was about $120 a barrel and the benchmark international price was even a couple dollars above that. Since then, however, oil prices have tumbled.
Oil prices had been rising since April 2020, as economies around the world recovered from the shock of the pandemic, and reopened — slowly at first, then more rapidly. Demand for energy outstripped supply, pushing prices higher through all of 2021 and early this year. Then in late February, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine caused oil prices to spike, and they remained high into June — although not as high as in July 2008 if inflation is considered.
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?
High energy prices contributed to inflation, which led the Federal Reserve and other central banks to raise interest rates. Concern has increased in recent weeks about the direction of the global economy.
A recession — or even slower growth — hurts energy demand and usually pushes down oil prices. That is the scenario that oil investors now fear.
Even with prices coming down, OPEC on Thursday lowered its forecast of global oil demand for the rest of this year and next year. The cartel based those expectations on a belief that economic growth in the U.S., China and other key countries will be slower than it previously forecast.
ARE THERE OTHER FACTORS?
It’s unusual for gas prices to fall during the summer, because that’s the peak driving time for American motorists. Some analysts think the high prices have led drivers to cut back, but the evidence is mostly anecdotal.
Some states suspended their gasoline taxes, shaving more off the final price at the pump, at least temporarily.
WHERE ARE GAS PRICES HEADED?
Most analysts don’t think prices will spike in the short term unless something unexpected happens, such as a big storm that shuts down oil production in the Gulf of Mexico or floods refineries along the Gulf Coast. That has happened before, and we are still in hurricane season.
Patrick De Haan, an analyst for GasBuddy, said this week that absent something like a hurricane, gasoline prices should drop another 10 cents to 25 cents a gallon over the next couple weeks.
Tom Kloza, an analyst for the Oil Price Information Service, is a bit less sanguine. He says the 58-day streak of lower nationwide average gasoline prices “may stumble soon.”
Besides the hurricane threat, Kloza says refineries — which have been running nearly full-steam — will have to take a breather because they have delayed maintenance work and “that can’t be delayed indefinitely.”
WHAT ABOUT THE U.S. OIL SUPPLY?
U.S. oil production hasn’t fully recovered to pre-pandemic levels; it’s still down about 4.5% from 2019, according to the most recent government figures, for May.
President Joe Biden has ordered releases from U.S. oil reserves. Kloza said “even Biden bashers have to admit that the release of over 150 million barrels of (Strategic Petroleum Reserve) crude worked,” but he said it’s unclear what will happen when those releases end later this year.
WHAT’S ENERGY’S ROLE IN INFLATION?
Higher prices for energy and food have been key contributors to inflation. It works the other way too. When gasoline prices slid in July, it helped slow the overall rate of inflation.
But gasoline prices in July were still 28% higher than a year earlier, and that helped inflation roar along at 8.5%. | https://kvia.com/news/texas/ap-texas/2022/08/11/explainer-why-gas-prices-are-falling-2/ | 2022-08-12T02:31:26Z | https://kvia.com/news/texas/ap-texas/2022/08/11/explainer-why-gas-prices-are-falling-2/ | true | 37 |
Following a 52-point victory on Wednesday, the Kentucky Wildcats played their second game of the Big Blue Bahamas trip against Tec de Monterrey of Mexico.
Upon first glance, Monterrey Tech was at a serious physical disadvantage. In fact, there was only one guy over 6-foot-5 on the roster and Kentucky took full advantage of that, pushing themselves out to an early 16-3 lead.
As the first half continued, that lead continued to grow into a 53-21, with Thiero and Livingston impressing. To finish the half, Livingston had seven points, three boards, and two steals, while Thiero had seven points in 10 minutes, as well as the highest plus-minus to that point (+23).
The second half was not any more competitive as the Wildcats used their length to bother Monterrey Tech, limiting them to just 12 points until two minutes to go, including a 39-5 run.
Not to mention, after a 1-8 start from three in the first half, Kentucky was much improved in the second half, going 6-18, with Jacob Toppin making two of them - two less than he made all of last season (4).
Damion Collins continued to impress with 10 points, five rebounds, and two blocks, as Sahvir Wheeler found his footing for the first in this trip time finishing with 14 points, 10 assists, two steals, and a team-leading +46 plus-minus.
In the end, Kentucky won 102-40 and there wasn’t a lot to take away in such an uncompetitive game, but seven players scored in double figures and four players finished with double-doubles.

Kasabian's Serge Pizzorno: The boys needed me to step up as frontman
By Paul Glynn
Entertainment reporter
- Published
After England's Lionesses won the Women's Euros last month, in front of a TV audience of more than 17 million, rock band and football fans Kasabian found themselves sharing the spotlight.
A performance of their new single The Wall, skilfully spliced with action from the tournament, brought the BBC's coverage to a close.
The defiant piano-driven track features on the group's seventh album The Alchemist's Euphoria, their first since the departure of long-time frontman Tom Meighan after was he charged with domestic assault in 2020.
While some fans tweeted their delight at the finale montage, others questioned the booking given the circumstances.
Kasabian's main creative force Serge Pizzorno tells us it was "so beautiful to be a part of" such a historic moment, especially with a tune that began life as an in-joke about overcoming a hangover on tour but evolved into an ode to not giving up.
The album, he says, is the sound of him and his bandmates working through the "many emotions" of the turbulent time around Meighan's departure, while preparing themselves to go again with Kasabian 2.0.
"I knew I didn't want to write specifically about the band and what had happened," Pizzorno explains. "But I knew the subject around what had happened would relate to everyone.
"It's not really about what went down. This is more about, these are the emotions that I was going through, and people all over can relate to forks in the road, survival, dealing with loss, grief, getting to a point [of] being present and letting go."
Meighan admitted assaulting his fiancee and was fined and ordered to carry out community service and rehabilitation. He publicly apologised, married his partner Vikki and launched a solo career.
Pizzorno says it was "completely and utterly heart-breaking" and "devastating in so many ways" to part ways, but "there was nothing else we could have done".
Once the decision was made, the group had to "sit down and decide what we were going to do", he explains.
"We couldn't let the story end like that. We still want to play the songs. We're a band. It's not fair that we have to stop."

Previously, Pizzorno sung a couple of songs on each album and released his own avant-garde side project in 2019, but fronting Kasabian full-time, he says, is a total "switch-up".
He's been channelling some of his rock 'n' roll heroes for his new role, as well as artists from the hip-hop world like Kendrick Lamar and Tyler, the Creator.
"It's something that I never thought I would do. It's something that I never wanted to do," he says. "I was very happy being Keith [Richards, Rolling Stones guitarist] and I had to become Mick [Jagger, frontman] to carry on. The boys needed me to step up.
"I'm attracted to things that scare me, and once I accepted that this is how it was gonna have to be, then I was always only going to do it my way - fully immerse myself, commit to trying to entertain and bring the ruckus. Get on that stage and own it and just become... the indie Kanye!"
The new album, co-produced by Pizzorno and Stormzy's producer Fraser T Smith, fuses rock with rap/trap, psych folk and Detroit house - sometimes within the same short track.
The Guardian said the LP was "rarely dull, and often hugely entertaining", while The Sunday Times said it was a "more experimental and nuanced" album "that dares to do things (slightly) differently".
Another recent single, SCRIPTVRE, finds Pizzorno declaring: "I don't want to stop." He describes it as "a boxing walk-out song", akin to US rapper Eminem's Lose Yourself with its sense of "like it or not, you're here now and it's up to you".
Pizzorno's second outdoor gig as frontman was the first of two nights performing to more than 160,000 people at Knebworth, in support of Liam Gallagher in June.
"It's do or die at that point," he says. "We absolutely buzzed off being on that stage and the size of it. It wasn't frightening, we just embraced the day.
"That was one of the biggest crowds, if not the biggest we've ever played in front of and it was just absolutely insane and pure joy. It has a lot to do with people not having the chance to go and see shows and missing music for a couple of years. It was amazing."
The next generation of Kasabian fans were led this summer by seven-year-old Spencer Kubon, who went viral for throwing out shapes in the mosh pit at the Tramlines Festival in Sheffield. Pizzorno says he "absolutely loved it" when somebody showed him the footage.
This is phenomenal! What a little ledge.🙌🙌 Thanks to @mattcooper85 for the capture👊👊 @tramlines pic.twitter.com/Z6msUaB46z

Another stand-out moment of his summer involved friend of the band, former England footballer-turned-podcaster/presenter Peter Crouch, joining them on stage for a rave as they played their hit Fire at the Isle of Wight Festival.
"You've got to watch him, man, he'll be definitely forming a band after that," Pizzorno jokes.
The surprise cameo, it seems, was a long time coming.
"There was some loose talk of him taking a year out and learning bass, and then us doing a gig and him coming on stage and dropping the maddest bassline anyone's ever seen," he reveals. "But he was too busy, so I was like, 'One day, I'll just grab you when you're not ready and he was like, 'OK let's do that.'
"I gave him a little side smile, like 'stay close tonight'. When he saw me come down off the stage, he was ready.
"He's one of the most talented English footballers of his generation, he's always ready to perform."
Crouch may have crossed over into entertainment effortlessly, but Leicester City fan Pizzorno has scored memorable goals himself at Soccer Aid and on Soccer AM.
His wife Amy was an amateur footballer too at a time when "it was difficult because there wasn't that many teams", he says. So their family, which includes two football-playing boys, appreciate the legacy the Lionesses have created.
"She was playing all over the Midlands to get a game, so obviously it was a very different generation," he says. "But now with England winning, it's so much better because it's just all blown up, it's phenomenal.
"You know what impact Euro 96 had, and it's like, they've actually won it! It's so exciting for generations to come."
Kasabian's album The Alchemist's Euphoria is out now and they tour the UK from October.

An armed man clad in body armor who tried to breach the FBI’s Cincinnati office on Thursday was shot and killed by police after he fled the scene and engaged in an hourslong standoff in a rural part of the state, the Ohio State Highway Patrol said.
The confrontation came as officials warned of an increase in threats against federal agents in the days following a search of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
The man is believed to have been in Washington in the days leading up to the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection and may have been present at the Capitol on the day of the attack, according to a law enforcement official briefed on the matter. The official could not discuss details of the investigation publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
The suspect was identified as Ricky Shiffer, 42, according to the law enforcement official. He was not charged with any crimes in connection with the Jan. 6 attack, the official said. Federal investigators are examining whether Shiffer may have had ties to far-right extremist groups, including the Proud Boys, the official said.
Shiffer “attempted to breach” the visitor’s screening area at the FBI office at around 9:15 a.m., and fled when agents confronted him, according to federal authorities’ account of the incident. After fleeing onto Interstate 71, he was spotted by a trooper and fired shots as the trooper pursued him, said Lt. Nathan Dennis, a Ohio State Highway Patrol spokesperson, at a press conference.
Shiffer left the interstate north of Cincinnati and abandoned his car on rural roads, where he exchanged gunfire with police and sustained injuries, though no one else was hurt, Dennis said.
Shiffer was shot after he raised a gun toward police at around 3 p.m. Thursday, Dennis said. The fatal encounter with police happened after negotiations failed and police tried unsuccessfully to use “less lethal tactics,” Dennis said, without providing details.

State highway workers blocked off roads leading to the scene as a helicopter flew over the area. Officials locked down a mile radius near the interstate and urged residents and business owners to lock doors and stay inside. The interstate has been reopened.
There have been growing threats in recent days against FBI agents and offices across the country since federal agents executed a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago. On Gab, a social media site popular with white supremacists and antisemites, users have warned they are preparing for an armed revolution.
Federal officials have also been tracking an array of other concerning chatter on Gab and other platforms threatening violence against federal agents. FBI Director Christopher Wray denounced the threats as he visited another FBI office in Nebraska on Wednesday.
“Violence against law enforcement is not the answer, no matter who you’re upset with,” Wray said Wednesday in Omaha.
The FBI on Wednesday also warned its agents to avoid protesters and ensure their security key cards are “not visible outside FBI space,” citing an increase in social media threats to bureau personnel and facilities. It also warned agents to be aware of their surroundings and potential protesters.
The warning did not specifically mention this week’s search of Mar-a-Lago but attributed the online threats to “recent media reporting on FBI investigative activity.”

Tips for wearing and storing perfume
Fragrances can be a pricey cosmetic item to add to your daily grooming routine. So it can be frustrating when you need to refresh your perfume throughout the day to make the scent last longer. All those extra spritzes add up and reduce the life of your favorite bottles. Plus, sometimes, it’s not realistic to carry around the bottle throughout the day to refresh the scent as needed.
So, how can you stop your perfume’s scent from fading so fast? It all comes down to your application technique and the way you store your perfume bottles.
How to make perfume last throughout the day
Apply perfume after your shower
For optimal results, apply your fragrance immediately after your shower. The steam from the shower helps open the pores of your skin and absorb the scent better. The heat also maximizes the perfume’s aroma, giving you a longer-lasting scent with a smaller amount of fragrance.
Your skin is also free of oils and dirt when fresh out of the shower, meaning that the fragrance doesn’t react with sweat or grime that can lessen the aroma of the perfume.
Moisturize your skin
Perfume sits on the surface of your skin when applied and evaporates throughout the day. The dryer your skin, the quicker the scent will evaporate. When you apply perfume on moisturized skin, the fragrance takes longer to evaporate, meaning the scent will last longer.
For optimal results, apply moisturizer to clean skin after a shower. Make sure that any body moisturizer you use is unscented. Moisturizers with fragrance can interfere with the aroma of your perfume as the two scents mingle. Since this makes your perfume last longer, you can apply a smaller amount, so you’ll get more uses out of a single bottle of fragrance.
Apply your perfume to your pulse points
Your pulse points refer to areas including:
- The inside of your wrist
- The crook of your elbow
- Your neck
These areas are where your blood flows closest to the skin’s surface. As a result, the skin is warmer here than elsewhere on the body. Scents are more potent and last longer when heat is applied, so spritzing your perfume in these locations means your fragrance lasts longer. In warm weather, when wearing shorts or skirts, you can apply a summer perfume to pulse points such as the backs of your knees.
Apply petroleum jelly to your skin before spritzing
Using petroleum jelly, such as Vaseline, you can combine the effects of moisturized skin and applying perfume to pulse points. This method is an excellent alternative if applying body moisturizer to your skin is not an option.
Apply a small amount of petroleum jelly onto your pulse points. Spray the perfume onto your pulse points immediately after. Your skin absorbs the jelly for a moisturizing effect, allowing the scent to last longer.
Don’t rub in your fragrance
While it’s common practice to rub your wrists together or along the neck after applying perfume, it can fade the scent faster.
There are two reasons behind this. Firstly, the friction from the rubbing makes the fragrance’s top notes fade quicker. The top notes are the more vibrant smells you get from perfume for around five minutes after spraying.
Secondly, oils naturally occur on the skin’s surface. Rubbing perfume into the skin causes the scent’s molecules to mix with these oils. Not only does this mean the aroma won’t last as long, but it can also change the overall scent of the perfume on your skin.
Spray some scent on your hairbrush
Applying perfume to your hair can provide extra body to the fragrance. It’s especially effective with long hair because movement throughout the day releases the scent.
However, perfumes contain alcohol and can dry out your hair if applied directly from the bottle. Instead, you can use a couple of light spritzes on your hairbrush or comb. Run the scented brush through your hair.
You can also comb the perfume into wet or dry hair, depending on your preference. This method is particularly effective if you comb right from the roots because the heat from your scalp helps to release the scent.
Store your bottle correctly and never shake it
Many cosmetic products require shaking before use to ensure ingredients are blended before application. While it might be tempting to give your perfume bottle a little shake before spritzing, shaking it can weaken the scent and allow it to wear off faster on the skin. It allows air bubbles into the liquid, which disrupts the molecules and the delicate chemical bonds that make up the fragrance.
Similarly, storing your perfume correctly goes a long way toward preserving the strength and longevity of the scent. Heat and light can both disturb the chemical balance of the molecules and weaken or change the aroma. So, keep perfume bottles in a dry place out of direct sunlight so that the light and heat do not disrupt the strength or odor of the fragrance.
What you need to buy to make perfume last longer
Vaseline is one of the world’s best-known brands of petroleum jelly. It dries quickly on the skin without leaving residue, and when it comes to application to pulse points, this 100-milliliter bottle will go a long way.
Where to buy: Sold by Amazon
CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion for Dry Skin
For those who prefer to apply all-over body lotion, this CeraVe moisturizer is fragrance-free, so it won’t interfere with your perfume’s scent. The hyaluronic acid helps to seal the moisture and your perfume into the skin for long-lasting hydration and scent.
Where to buy: Sold by Amazon and Ulta Beauty

The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Bagbin has given a major facelift to the Wa Sports Stadium in the Upper West region with massive renovation works.
The seasoned politician renovated the VIP stand of the facility to the delight of all, especially the Upper West sporting fraternity.
The edifice which was built as part of Ghana at 50 celebrations, has had the VIP stand ripped off by storm and deteriorated due to the unfavorable weather conditions.
It has now been given a facelift by Mr. Bagbin with the renovation of the roofing, fixing of seats, and painting.
This was after one of the most vibrant youth activists in the region, Awudu Ishaq, made a plea on behalf of the people of the Upper West Region to the Speaker, Alban SK Bagbin.
The former Nadowli Kaleo lawmaker heeded to the call and immediately provided funds for the commencement of work.
The renovated facility will be handed over to the community in the coming weeks. | https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/Bagbin-renovates-portion-of-Wa-sports-stadium-1601300 | 2022-08-12T02:37:33Z | https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/Bagbin-renovates-portion-of-Wa-sports-stadium-1601300 | false | 2 |
EDMONTON, Alberta — Captain Mason McTavish had four goals and two assists and Canada routed Slovakia 11-1 on Thursday night to improve to 2-0 in the world junior hockey championship.
McTavish, the 19-year-old Anaheim Ducks prospect, matched the Canadian record for goals in a game in the tournament. Other players who have accomplished the feat include Mario Lemieux (1984), Brayden Schenn (2011) and Maxime Comtois (2019).
"It's pretty cool for sure. A special moment," McTavish said. "Obviously, credit to my teammates. They were looking for me all game, it felt like."
Brennan Othmann, Joshua Roy, Connor Bedard, Will Cuylle, Logan Stankoven, Olen Zellweger and Zack Ostapchuk also scored. Dylan Garand made 22 saves.
"We're deep from our first line to our fourth line," Othmann said. "It doesn't matter who's in or who's out, everyone's contributing in some way."
Matej Kaslik scored for Slovakia (0-2).
Canada opened Group A play Wednesday night with a 5-2 victory over Latvia.

The Government has done a U-turn on rental housing policy settings, backing down on axing landlords' tax breaks.
Housing Minister Megan Woods has today announced that owners of rentals offering tenancies of 10 years or more would now be able to claim interest deductibility on mortgages.
This is to encourage that sector to flourish, she indicated, naming the fast-growing build-to-rent sector.
Last year, the Government announced it would abolish the breaks landlords enjoyed: deducting the interest paid on mortgages for rental properties against their tax bills which encouraged PAYE earners to buy rentals so to reduce their tax bills.
Advertisement
Advertise with NZME.The changes were first announced last March.
Ending the breaks caused outrage from landlords including Ockham Residential chief executive Mark Todd who said he feared he would be forced to sell 85 apartments.
Changing the tax policy resulted in dire predictions from various vested interests that they would cause a max exodus of investors from the residential property market.
But landlords buying a brand new property would still be able to claim their mortgage interest as a tax-deductible expense for up to 20 years.
Landlords of existing older properties would be unable to claw back tax on the interest portion of mortgages for rental housing.
Today, Woods couched the U-turn in positive terms.
"We're providing an exemption from the interest limitation rules to certain types of new and existing build-to-rent developments in perpetuity," she said.
To qualify, developments need to offer tenants leases of at least 10 years. Tenants can ask for shorter agreements if they wish and the development will still qualify for the exemption. Tenants will be able to break their tenancy agreements at any time, with a 56-day notice period.

Advertise with NZME."We believe security of tenure is critical for people who are renting. This requirement will enable people to settle and personalise their homes, reduce how often they must find a new place to live and all those associated moving costs, especially as people face cost of living challenges, and help them to build and maintain connection to their community," she said today.
"We recognise the big role the build-to-rent sector can play in filling a gap in the general rental market by increasing the supply, density, and diversity of housing.
"Aotearoa New Zealand needs to build more houses where they are needed and at prices that low- to moderate-income households can afford. Build-to-rent can help to continue the current momentum of new supply and improve the quality of rental housing with new warm, dry, secure homes," she said.
Leonie Freeman, Property Council chief executive, welcomed the turnaround.
"Today's announcement is one of the best levers to unlocking the potential of build-to-rent. We support the Government's desire to enable build-to-rent in order to provide warm, dry rental homes that offer Kiwis long-term security of tenure," she said.
Woods said legislation would be introduced to Parliament at the end of August.

Advertise with NZME.The Herald has reported how Woods was seeking policy advice about encouraging the build-to-rent market.
Last November, Ockham's Todd said the Government wanted to eliminate mortgage interest deductions on loans for existing purpose-built rental properties which would hugely disadvantage Ockham's existing build-to-rent city properties.
Teachers and emergency service workers were among long-term tenants in those buildings but may have to find new homes if Ockham sells, he said.
"It is odd that [Housing Minister] Megan Woods supports the BTR sector to provide more new, warm, secure tenure properties but [Revenue Minister David] Parker is happy to kill off providers already delivering on Government policy," Todd complained last year.
"I may be forced to sell 85 rental places worth $60 million to $80m if interest which is the main cost of owning these buildings becomes non-deductible," said Todd referring to apartments the company owns in Sandringham, Grey Lynn, Ellerslie and Mt Albert.
On one project alone, Ockham could lose a $500,000 mortgage interest tax deduction, he said. He cited a $22m development 50 per cent geared via an $11m loan, incurring a $500,000 annually interest rate charge, Todd said in November.

The Okanagan got lit up Wednesday night after a thunderstorm rolled through the valley.
Lightning crackled through the region from Penticton to Vernon for several hours starting at about 8:30 p.m.
Many took the opportunity to get out their cameras and snap pictures of the light display as the Okanagan was treated to a summer storm.
Environment Canada is forecasting another thunderstorm to hit the Okanagan on Thursday. A severe thunderstorm watch is in effect for a large part of B.C. on Thursday afternoon, including the North, Central and South Okanagan, as well as the Shuswap.
If there is heavy rainfall in the region it could cause flash floods and water pooling on roads, they added. Friday is also expected to have showers in the afternoon with a risk of a thunderstorm, said Environment Canada.

Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office announced Thursday that the investigation into the shooting death of a crew member by actor Alec Baldwin on a movie set last October is nearing its conclusion.
Investigators say they are holding out for Baldwin's phone records, which the Suffolk County Police Department are assisting New Mexico authorities with obtaining, the sheriff's office said.
"The district attorney's office has been working with Suffolk County PD, and Baldwin's lawyer to acquire the phone records. Once Suffolk County PD completes its agency assist and sends those records to New Mexico law enforcement, our detectives will need to then thoroughly review those phone records for evidentiary purposes," Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza said.
It's been nearly nine months since Baldwin fatally shot cinematographer Halyna Hutchins with a gun meant to be used as a prop. They were part of a crew filming the Western Rust in the outskirts of Santa Fe.
Since then, New Mexico's Occupational Health and Safety Bureau fined the film production company behind Rust $136,793 for firearms safety failures. Hutchins' family has also sued Baldwin and the producers of the film.
But police and prosecutors still have not issued any conclusion regarding potential criminal charges associated with Hutchins' death.
Mendoza's office said Thursday that the investigators must comb through a recently-received report from the New Mexico Office of the Medical Investigator. The OMI used forensic reports from the FBI to complete their investigation, according to the Santa Fe sheriff's office.
"Once Sheriff's detectives complete their review of the OMI reports, and once the phone records are received and reviewed by detectives, the final Sheriff's Office investigative case file will be forwarded to the District Attorney for review and final charging decisions," the Santa Fe sheriff's office said.

Japan PM to name new Cabinet, shifting some over church ties
TOKYO — (AP) — Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida is set to reshuffle his Cabinet on Wednesday in a move seen as trying to distance his administration from controversial ties to the Unification Church following former leader Shinzo Abe's assassination.
The Cabinet renewal will be the second in just 10 months since Kishida took office. He told reporters Tuesday that a "strict review” of candidates' ties to the church would be a “prerequisite” in the new lineup of Cabinet officials and Liberal Democratic Party executives.
Kishida said he has instructed his ministers and other senior officials to clarify their connection to the Unification Church “so that we can achieve political and administrative work that can be trusted by the people.”
Abe was fatally shot while giving a campaign speech July 8, two days before a parliamentary election. Police and media reports say the man arrested had targeted Abe over suspected ties to the Unification Church, which the man hated because his mother’s massive financial donations to the church ruined his family.
Recent media surveys showed approval ratings for Kishida’s Cabinet have fallen to their lowest levels since he took office in October. A survey released Monday by the NHK public television showed support plunged to 46% from 59%.
Most of the respondents said they think politicians have not sufficiently explained their ties to the Unification Church. Kishida’s plan to hold a state funeral for Abe has also split public opinion because of Abe's archconservative stances on national security and wartime history.
Kishida's Cabinet renewal, which had been expected in September before the autumn parliamentary session, was apparently expedited as public support weakened amid questions over the church ties.
The new lineup will be formally announced later Wednesday after a mass resignation of current ministers. Kishida said the main purpose of the planned Cabinet reshuffle is to “break through one of biggest postwar crises” such as the coronavirus pandemic, inflation and intensifying tension around Taiwan and Russia's war on Ukraine.
The July election victory had been expected to ensure long-term stable leadership under Kishida without another scheduled election until 2025, but Abe's absence and the impact of his shocking death increased uncertainty.
Seven ministers who have acknowledged ties to the church will reportedly be removed. They include Defense Minister Nobuo Kishi, Abe's younger brother who acknowledged church followers were volunteers in his past election campaigns, and Public Safety Commission Chairman Satoshi Ninoyu, who attended an event organized by a church-related organization.
Kishi will be replaced by former Defense Minister Yasukazu Hamada, and Taro Kono, who was former vaccine tsar and defense minister, will return to the Cabinet as digital minister, Kyodo News and other media reported.
Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi, Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno and Economy Minister Daishiro Yamagiwa will reportedly stay in the new Cabinet.
Economy and Trade Minister Koici Hagiuda, who has reported church ties, will be shifted to head the party policy research committee and replaced by the former Economy Minister Yasutoshi Nishimura.
The new lineup suggested Kishida carefully kept a power balance among party wings to solidify unity amid growing speculation of a power struggle within Abe's faction and its impact.
But the majority of the Cabinet members are men older than 60, with only two women, despite criticism that Japanese politics are too dominated by older men.
The two women ministers are Sanae Takaichi, a ultra-conservative who was close to Abe and is being tapped as economic security minister and Keiko Nagaoka, a first-timer appointed as education minister to replace Shinsuke Suematsu, who acknowledged his Unification Church links.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — Clay County voters rejected a proposed new courthouse, jail and law enforcement center by a roughly 2 to 1 margin in 2021.
A proposal to build a new jail and LEC will be back on the ballot this November.
Clay County commissioners have proposed a $42.8 million bond to build a new jail and LEC. The LEC is shared with the city of Vermillion.
“The original proposal that failed because it included the full courthouse, jail and LEC,” said Phyllis Packard, the vice chairwoman of the county board of commission. “The community was really up against us and wanted to keep our existing courthouse.”
The $42.8 million bond is about the same cost as the original failed proposal of $41 million for a new courthouse, jail and LEC.
“In a year-and-a-half, it’s no cheaper,” Packard said of the price. But the least costly part of the original proposal was the courthouse, she said.
Board chairman Travis Mockler said removing the courthouse from the plan should make the bond more appealing to voters. For those who wanted to continue to use the courthouse, “this should alleviate those concerns,” Mockler said.
The rejected jail, LEC and courthouse project did not mean the identified problems at each facility disappeared.
The county still had a 110-year-old jail that did not meet today’s standards. “It has inadequate space for 20 inmates,” county sheriff Andy Howe said.
The jail is 2,800 square feet. A 2018 study said 8,750 square feet are needed.
County employees had cramped work areas. Inmates pass through these work areas on their way to court. That creates stress for jail employees who may be working on computers and need to keep computer screens secure, Howe said.
The county converted the jail to a 72-hour hold facility to better manage a smaller inmate population, Howe said.
“We have one to five inmates at a time,” Howe said.
The change was based on the jail’s structure, a review by a consultant and advice from the county’s state’s attorney, Howe said.
The cells are bar structures, which makes the possibility of hangings “more of an issue,” Howe said.
Because inmates have different classifications based on crimes and other factors, there are requirements to house certain classifications in specified areas.
“We’ve had inmates sleep on cots and had empty beds because of classification concerns,” Howe said.
Still, the county needs to house more than a few temporary inmates. A study by a consultant in 2018 showed a need for a 44-bed facility.
“We know that 20 is inadequate today,” Howe said.
The need for a larger facility is evident in the need to house inmates in other counties, Howe said.
Clay County is fortunate to be able to house inmates in Union County, which is about 13 miles away in Elk Point, Howe said. There have been times the county needed to house inmates in Brookings.
Union County is charging Clay County $65 per day, per inmate but that will increase to $80 in January, he said.
Yankton County charges $85 per day, per inmate.
“We do not have a jail and it is costing us. It will continue to cost us,” Packard said. It’s better to have a jail in the county and paying employees in the county, she said.
Work on the existing courthouse
“Many people think it’s a gorgeous building and it must be kept at all costs,” Packard said of the courthouse.
On the other hand, she said, it’s an older building with offices that are difficult to retrofit for today’s needs, she said.
“It was difficult to get proper phone service. Technology is difficult (to add),” Packard said.
“As the county has grown, every office is, and will continue to be, crowded,” Packard said.
Mockler said the county has invested about $300,000 in the courthouse so far.
“We are doing the best we can,” Packard said.
The county plans to replace the heating and cooling system in the building, Mockler said.
HVAC systems and tucking pointing on the exterior are not improvements the public can see, he said.
Improvements for employees
Packard said the changes in the courthouse are needed for employees.
“We want to make it better for the employees,” she said.
A new jail would also make the working environment better for those employees, Packard and Howe said.
Packard said the LEC is crowded and she often wonders how the staff in their uniforms and equipment manage to fit in the space.
Although the staff have work areas in the jail, there is really “no place for staff to work,” Howe said.
A new jail with up-to-date security would also be safer than what exists now, Howe said. | https://www.siouxlandproud.com/news/local-news/clay-county-will-vote-on-42-8m-jail-lec-bond/ | 2022-08-12T03:01:54Z | https://www.siouxlandproud.com/news/local-news/clay-county-will-vote-on-42-8m-jail-lec-bond/ | false | 2 |
Graney: Golden Knights take step back with loss of Robin Lehner
They were expected to be among the Stanley Cup favorites again once the puck was officially dropped in October. That can’t be said now. That conclusion shouldn’t be drawn.
Paper sometimes lies, but the Golden Knights aren’t as good now on it as they were a few days ago. How quickly things change with a few sentences.
Robin Lehner is lost for the season. Hip surgery. The No. 1 goalie has been shelved. The news arrived via an oh-so-short tweet from the team Thursday.
There was no further comment from anyone within the organization.
Nothing. Not even a quote via statement.
A side whose lack of scoring and bottom six depth was already fairly questioned now is without its leading face in net. Lots to overcome. A whole lot to prove under new coach Bruce Cassidy. (The sportsbooks have already begun adjusting future odds.)
It’s news, but probably shouldn’t be. Lehner spent most of last season injured. Even had offseason shoulder surgery. There was also the lower body injury that kept him out for nearly a month. He was never as healthy as then-coach Pete DeBoer intimated in late April. Never as fresh. Never close.
But his absence now puts a serious level of doubt into how good the Knights can be. He has been that solid when right, far more than his numbers suggest.
Better defend
Cassidy’s teams in Boston were some of the best defensively in the NHL. The Knights really better step up in that realm now. Nobody still knows where the scoring will come.
It’s also important to address the elephant in the room for fans across social media who went a little batty Thursday concerning a certain former Golden Knight: This in no way means a return of Marc-Andre Fleury. Nor should it.
Fleury wasn’t much good at all between Chicago and Minnesota last season and signed a two-year extension with the Wild in the offseason. It’s not as if his .908 save percentage and 2.90 goals-against average was beyond noteworthy.
You can even make the argument that having Lehner and his $5 million salary on long-term injured reserve is a better fate than somehow landing (and paying) someone of Fleury’s declining play. Of anyone like that.
Hey, now! More cash for Jake Leschyshyn.
It all means that — at least to begin the season — Logan Thompson will likely assume the No. 1 goalie role. He went 10-5-3 with a .914 save percentage and 2.68 goals-against average as a rookie last season.
He’s also 25 and by no means a sure thing when it comes to being good enough over the course of an entire season.
Probably, however, it’s smart not to overreact just yet. There is time for that should Thompson or veteran Laurent Brossoit (coming off his own hip surgery) or recently signed Michael Hutchinson can’t get the job done. Let it play out some.
The free agent and trade market at this point wouldn’t be kind, anyway. It’s August, after all.
This was Thompson in May when asked if he envisioned himself a No. 1 goalie: “I think that I can handle it. You know, obviously there are some games, with the injuries, that I didn’t really have a choice (but) to play on back to backs and three in fours, but I think I handled myself well. And I think I proved to a lot of people that I can take on that role in that responsibility.”
Must prove it
He’ll likely get the chance now.
Until further notice, it would appear to be Logan Thompson’s net.
And until proven otherwise, the Knights on paper have gone from Stanley Cup contender to not nearly as much of one.
It’s on them to prove otherwise.
One tweet. Two sentences.
How quickly things change, is right.
They better hope paper lies.

British documents shed light on Korean liberation forces' fight against Japanese imperialist forces
SEOUL, Aug. 12 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's patriots ministry on Friday unveiled part of rare documents confirming a group of Korean independence activists fought alongside British troops in a joint military campaign against Japan's imperial forces during World War II.
The documents from Britain's National Archives were revealed as the ministry is commemorating the sacrifices of those who fought against Japan's 1910-45 colonial rule, ahead of South Korea's Liberation Day that falls on Monday.
The documents spanning more than 400 pages concern activities of the Korean National Army Liaison Unit that operated as part of the Indian Field Broadcasting Unit under Britain's Special Operations Executive from 1943-45, according to the ministry.
"The discovery of these documents is evidence that our Koreans' independence movement was not just limited to the efforts to achieve independence from Japan but also linked to a history of solidarity and a joint struggle with the coalition forces for anti-imperialism," Patriots Minister Park Min-shik was quoted as saying.
He added his ministry will continue to discover records of independence fighters' activities at home and abroad to "remember and inherit their noble spirits" in pursuit of national liberation.
The ministry came to know the British archives' possession of documents at an international forum in April where a British scholar presented an academic paper on those records. The following month, it started to explore ways to collect them, the ministry said.
The ministry plans to translate and analyze the entire documents and plan to publish them next year when South Korea and Britain are to mark the 140th anniversary of the establishment of bilateral diplomatic relations.

MIDDLETOWN — School officials gathered outside the new Beman Middle School Thursday morning to laud the facility as one of the “epicenters of innovation, creativity and equity.”
The “world-class” facility, which leaders said rivals other top schools across the state, serves sixth- through eighth-graders. It opened Sept. 9, 2021, replacing the aging former Woodrow Wilson Middle School next door.
“It is one of several epicenters of innovation, creativity and equity in our remarkable district and city,” Superintendent of Schools Alberto Vázquez Matos said to those outside the 1 Wilderman’s Way building.
The public schools are working to reverse the education “slide” that were realized during the challenges faced during the pandemic, Lt. Gov. Susan Bysiewicz said.
State grants supported the district’s summer enrichment program, social and emotional development, and “set them up for success,” Bysiewicz explained.
State Sen. Matt Lesser, D-Middletown, called Beman a “world-class facility” where he intends to send his young son in the future.
“What middle school student does not want to participate in an aerospace program or some of our labs?” Board of Education Chairwoman Deborah Cain asked. “We want to give our students a fun and innovative place to learn.”
“Middle school is some of the toughest times in anybody’s life: A lot of things happening, a lot of changes,” Lesser, who has asked students how they are doing.
“I’ll be honest with you,” he explained. “A lot of the students were scared. They had physical concerns — looking at what’s happening in other parts of the country — but there were also clearly social-emotional pressures on those young people as they were growing up” as well as precipitated by the pandemic.
Middletown, one of the state’s 36 Alliance Districts, has so far been granted $6.2 million in funding. These funds go to school districts with the lowest Accountability Index measures in the state. The public schools combined funding it received for the summer enrichment program with federal COVID education funding, Commissioner of Education Charlene Russell-Tucker said.
“So, when you stop and think about it, That’s exactly what we talk about,” she added. “Learning innovation is that school ends, but it really is not done. Learning isn’t finished.”
Brown and Black students comprise half of the city’s middle school population,Vázquez Matos said.
“It’s important to us that, when we plan, we plan with no assumptions, because Middletown is a diverse community,” he said.
“We cannot assume that they have access to many of the materials or resources that are required for much of the content here,” he added.
Toward that effort, Vázquez Matos said, the schools recently shifted to trimester grading instead of a semester system. The new scheduling will allow students to select more courses, he added.
The district also now has a social worker based in all the city’s 10 schools. That’s part of the state’s youth mental health initiative, Bysiewicz said.
Beman has received $45.8 million of state bond money, about half of the facility’s cost. The city’s portion is $41.5 million.
Officials toured the building and met a Geneva robot, 3-D printers and other “incredible technology,” said Bysiewicz, a resident who attended city schools along with her children.
They also visited the innovation center, digital and printer labs and media center,
These allow youth to get a “head start on what the world of work looks like,” she said.
Bysiewicz, chairwoman of the Governor’s Council on Women and Girls, said only 25 percent of STEAM jobs are held by women. “We want to make sure that our girls and young women are learning these subjects so they can get some of the best-paying jobs.
“This is a way to achieve pay equity,” she added.
The commissioner also spoke about the state Department of Education’s newly launched PK-12 special school staff appreciation opportunity in collaboration with local businesses and state agencies. The promotion runs through Sept. 1.
School faculty and staff can access a “digital backpack” to take advantage of discounts offered by local businesses, such as Perkatory Coffee Roasters and Story & Soil, as well as others statewide. | https://www.middletownpress.com/middletown/article/New-Middletown-middle-school-among-epicenters-17367411.php | 2022-08-12T03:17:54Z | https://www.middletownpress.com/middletown/article/New-Middletown-middle-school-among-epicenters-17367411.php | false | 1 |
Chris Leonard, Now and then, Leonardski Shows Up made me laugh out loud. This playful, witty exhibition features around 114 pieces by the artist.
Leonard — a ceramics professor at South Texas College in McAllen, Texas — displays the ceramics and paintings he has produced since 1982, many of which are on “back-alley gold,” or what he calls “someone else’s junk.” A survey of found objects in the exhibition reveals three broken skateboards painted with acrylic (Cold, Dark, and Rainy, 2007), acrylic on pressboard (The Night Time Is the Right Time, 2012), and acrylic on ratan (Speck vs. Log, 2013). In this last case, Leonard found a discarded console and used the furniture’s ratan for his substrate.
While in my own practice I embrace the idea of back-alley gold, as it makes my work weirder, I can only wish my art were as bizarre as Leonard’s. For instance, in Speck vs. Log, two orange cats are conjoined. Everyone knows cats hate wearing hats, so the oddity of a baseball cap floating above the cat on the left, while a cowboy hat hovers above the one on the right, is not lost. Since a river flows under the cat’s body, I get the sense this piece represents our U.S.-Mexico border region, or nepantla, a Nahuatl word Gloria Anzaldúa used to describe the in-betweenness of the border region of the Rio Grande Valley. The sculpture’s materials, extend over the frame, so the red soil and blue sky continue from the ratan to the frame. However, the brush marks on the ratan are smaller and more precise than the wide, wild gestures that extend on the frame.
I quickly walked around the exhibit and wanted to have a beer or laugh with Leonard, who clearly has a sense of humor that extends into his work of bearded cats, flying rotund pigs, and a dog on a log on a hog. However, then I slowed down to look for the deeper meaning within the show. The two-headed cat was clearly about duality, e.g. the push-me, pull-me of Dr. Doolittle; the fight between two forces, the us versus them. The row of buildings in No Beer for You Here (2019) speaks to the feeling of being unwelcome imparted on people when they come from the other side of the U.S. border wall.
And then there is Leonardclaus Dreams Big in the All-American City (acrylic on pressboard, 2012), with a baseball-faced man flying above a city, holding a stash of “unlimited funds.” A blue ribbon surrounds the painting. Inside of the ribbon (at the top and bottom of the piece), Leonard painted the words: “He can buy a big screen TV! Dumb ass. He can buy a truck! He’s a poor sorry son of a bitch. All he can catch is a case of jock itch!” A baseball field and palm trees are on the ground, below the flying man, which makes me think of this painting as a critique of U.S. materialism and the American dream. Additionally, I wonder if Leonard’s own inclusion in the title is a critique of his own materialism. Leonard’s words reminded us of our constant desire for more, and in Texas, everything bigger — bigger TVs, trucks, and houses.
Aleida Garcia Wedgeworth and Francisco Salazar beautifully curated Leonard’s fantastical show by selecting works from the artist’s storage units. While the exhibition came together seamlessly, I found myself hoping for more information regarding media, technique, and dimensions of the works themselves, especially considering Leonard’s use of found objects. Yet, at the end of the day I am not bothered by the missing information.
Leonard shows us his mark-making, his heart, and his whimsy. He takes risks that inspire me to be brave in my own practice, to loosen up, and to bring back the joy when creating. In his own words, displayed on a bright yellow background at the entrance of the show, he states: “What I want is a smile on the face, a twinkle in the eye.”
And that is exactly how I left the exhibition — with a smile on my face and a twinkle in my eye.
Chris Leonard, Now and then, Leonardski Shows Up is one view at the San Benito Cultural Heritage Museum at 250 Heywood Street through August 19, 2022.

Good morning, you Reds! Here's a look at your latest Nottingham Forest headlines.
Nottingham Forest close in on key transfer as contract length revealed
Nottingham Forest transfer target Remo Freuler is reportedly set to undergo a medical ahead of his move to the City Ground.
The 30-year-old midfielder is set to become the Reds' 13th signing of the summer, joining from Italian side Atalanta for a fee worth €9 million (around £7.6m), plus add-ons.
Freuler is reportedly set to sign a three-year contract to join Steve Cooper's side and will add experience to the Forest midfield after making over 200 appearances in Serie A and 46 caps for the Switzerland national team.
Nottingham Forest in shock transfer link for £55m Tottenham flop
Nottingham Forest have been linked with surprise interest in Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Tanguy Ndombele.
Head coach Steve Cooper is looking to bolster his central midfield ranks before transfer deadline day on September 1, with a number of players linked to the club so far. The latest name to be connected to Forest is Ndombele, who has fallen down the pecking order in north London.
He made nine Premier League appearances for Tottenham last season before joining Lyon on loan and could now be set for an early exit from Tottenham having joined three years ago for a whopping £55 million. According to a report in Ndombele's native France, Forest have "ticked his name" but face competition from a host of other clubs across Europe.
Crucial Nottingham Forest transfer depends on key Manchester United and Juventus decision
Nottingham Forest are reportedly stuck waiting for Manchester United's proposed deal with Adrien Rabiot to be finalised before going after young midfielder James Garner.
Garner, who featured 49 times for Steve Cooper's side last season, was a staple of Forest's midfield alongside Ryan Yates as a loanee from United and Forest have shown interest in bringing him back on a permanent deal.
The 20-year-old, who would be competing with the likes of Scott McTominay, Fred, Bruno Fernandes, Christian Eriksen and Donny Van De Beek if he stayed at United, showed promise when he started in a pre-season friendly against Rayo Vallecano and was an unused substitute in the Red Devils opening game of the season, a 2-1 loss to Brighton at Old Trafford.
Nottingham Forest key deadline looms for Steve Cooper to complete transfers
Nottingham Forest are close to finalising a deal to sign Atalanta midfielder Remo Freuler for a fee worth €9 million (around £7.6m), plus add-ons.
The Swiss international will join Steve Cooper's side as signing number 13 of the summer transfer window following the Reds' promotion to the Premier League. Reports have reported that the 30 year-old will sign a three-year contract at Forest after six years in Serie A.
Eight players made their debuts in the opening day defeat to Newcastle United last week, with summer signings Wayne Hennessey and Giulian Blancone unused substitutes. However, Cooper and Forest face a fight against time to ensure Freuler can feature in the first Premier League game at the City Ground since May 1999.

Gardening: Lady beetles are invading - but that’s a good thing
Thu., Aug. 11, 2022
Convergent lady beetle feasting on apple aphids. (WSU Tree Fruit Research Extension Center)
For once, I have a story about a good-guy bug invasion. There are reports from all over the region of hordes of lady beetles being everywhere. The WSU Master Gardener Plant Clinic has received numerous calls about them. Gardeners are finding them everywhere and they are hanging out with beachgoers around Lake Coeur d’Alene.
Lady beetles or lady bugs and their larvae are one of our most common beneficial predator insects. The adults, but especially the larvae, seek out soft-bodied pests like aphids, mites and scales on all kinds of plants. The larvae are so voracious they are called aphid lions and can eat hundreds of aphids in a short span of time.
We have about 90 species of lady beetles in the Northwest and each one looks a little different. The convergent lady beetle adult is about one-fourth-inch long. Its black body is covered almost completely with its forewings, which are orange to red with 12 black spots. The transverse lady beetle adult is also one-fourth-inch long but more rounded than the convergent lady beetle and has fewer spots on its orange forewings. There are many others that are not as common and can be smaller, but all have the same general characteristics.
Adult lady beetles overwinter in the mountains and return to the valleys in the early spring, often flying great distances. In their winter home, they often form dense colonies. In the spring they return to the lower elevations, mate and begin seeking out prey. Female lady beetles eat soft-bodied insects but also seek out pollen. Each female can lay up to 200 pale yellow, rod-shaped eggs on the underside of a leaf. The eggs will hatch in two to 10 days, depending on the temperature. The larvae/aphid lions emerge and feed, molting several times before they attach themselves to a leaf and pupate into an adult. We can have one to three generations of lady beetles a year in the Northwest.
We are probably seeing a large population of them this year because our cool, wet spring brought out large aphid infestations. Given it is August, this could be their second generation. Encouraging them to come to your garden takes patience. First, you must be willing to let the aphid infestation exist for a couple of weeks. The adults will find it and begin laying eggs. Once the eggs hatch, the aphid lions will begin feeding. There needs to be a strong presence of adults and larvae to knock down the aphids. In the meantime, don’t use broad spectrum insecticides which will kill the lady bugs.
Can you successfully introduce lady beetles to your garden? Sometimes, but only if there is a heavy presence of their favorite bugs. If there isn’t, they will depart to somewhere that does. After all, they fly well, and there are no remedies that will force them to stay if there is no food. So, save your money and learn to identify aphid lions.

It's entirely warranted and proper that the various US agencies are doing what they're doing. You can't just ignore what Trump has done. "Enraging his base" shouldn't come into it. On the other hand, tremendous care has to be taken at all times to neuter potential blowback.
I keep bearing in mind that Julius Caesar (who despite being born into status, was a populist politician) was motivated to achieve his coup mainly to avoid punishment by the Roman Republic for a variety of 'white collar' crimes*. He sought political positions that would grant him immunity from prosecution, eventually marching an army into Rome when he ran out of other options. One man's desire to escape justice (by force, and a direct appeal to the people over the 'rules') was the catalyst to the downfall of the ancient world's greatest power, and decades of subsequent civil wars that resulted in the establishment of a dictatorial regime generally led by capricious and corrupt rulers (the Roman Empire).
For the incredibly wealthy and privileged, losing their status and reputation could be the worst punishment imaginable, and the fact that the usual suspects are still closing ranks around him is a worrying sign for what may yet happen, depending on how threatened they feel.

After a lengthy discussion on what to do about a detention pond that does not detain any water but floods the adjoining parking lot, on July 13 the Van Buren Township Planning Commission approved the final site plan for a Community Center and site upgrades for its $16 million project.
The site plan was approved with conditions on the detention ponds including Treasurer Sharry Budd’s concerns about the safety of the unfenced pond or ponds.
The final site plan was sought by architect Stephen J. Gedert on behalf of owner Van Buren Charter Township. He applied for roughly 13,446 square feet of renovations and a 16,411 square foot gymnasium addition adjacent to the existing municipal building, renovations to the existing building, and the construction of associated pavements and utilities.
The project includes a large outdoor performance plaza, a fitness patio, additional parking, walkways, and landscaping. It also includes the fencing off of the police vehicle parking area and separately the employee parking for security. An additional entry to Quirk Road for the public is planned from a northwest section of the western parking lot at township hall.
Dan Power, director of planning and economic development, noted that changes in the plans are being made to put a second stormwater drainage area behind the DPW yard and the DPW fence would be moved.
Paul Kammer, the township’s engineering consultant from Fishbeck, said the water main on the township site has a current tap on Quirk Road and a new tap will be made on Tyler to loop the water main. He said a new sanitary service will be put in from Quirk between the DPW and township hall.
“The pond does not detain any water,” Kammer said of the stormwater drainage currently on the site that should be upgraded. He said instead of the water going into the pond, the existing parking lot is flooded.
He said they plan to combine the old and new drainage system and detain it in the southwest corner of the DPW building. He said they will collect all the water from the entire site and detain and eject it from the system.
Kammer said the plans did not show the weir metering structure and that has to be worked out before construction is approved.
Treasurer Budd, who is the board’s liaison to the planning commission, said she is concerned about the bigger pond which kids will find attractive when it has water in it.
Kammer said it is designed to be dry and after a rain to hold the flow for 48 to 72 hours. He said after a rain there could be 2’ of water, but there are walkable side slopes, 1:6, and a fence is not required by the ordinance.
He said the present pond has two pumps and one is not functioning. It could overflow to Quirk Road, north and west.
Kammer said the next pump station, not a part of the community center project, will be handled later by the township.
Budd said she is concerned about it being so close to the public area. She said she hopes he does know what he’s doing with the drainage.
Kammer said they are concerned about the size, but it could be moved so it’s not so close to the outdoor performance area.
“As currently designed, it works,” he said, noting the flow comes north from the splash pad.
“Is the existing pond dry because it’s broken?” asked Commissioner Jeff Jahr in clarification.
“It’s not broken, but not working as designed,” Kammer replied.
He explained that with new construction, the drainage on the site must be given attention or in the future when there is a problem they will say why didn’t they fix that?
In other business at the one-hour-and-42-minute meeting, the board:
• Recommended special land use approval to the township board for the Meijer pharmacy drive-thru at the north end of the present building and gas station renovations. A representative from Meijer said Meijer is upgrading across the state and there will be significant changes to the parking lot with landscaping and new parking lot islands;
• Approved preliminary and final site plans for the Meijer project. Planning consultant Vidya Krishnan, from McKenna, said the pharmacy drive-thru is horseshoe shaped and will have eight stacking spaces for the drive-thru. It will be constructed at the north end and the garden center will be cut back in size to make way for this. There will be new brick veneer on the front of the building. Bike racks will be at the entrances and gas station, she said. Kammer said the storm sewer is diverted around the north and south sides of the building and discharged into the pond. He said because of perceived problems in the past, Meijer was asked for documentation on its December 2020 project where it removed tree brush and reworked the outfalls. He said, “We don’t see anything not working”; and
• Held a public hearing on the gasoline filling and gasoline service station zoning ordinance text amendments with no public comment. At the end of the agenda, the item was removed from proposed action by the staff after Commissioner Barr had to leave at 7:10 p.m. and there no longer was a quorum. The proposed amendments make all gasoline/service stations need special land use and they no longer would be automatically allowed on commercially zoned parcels.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Police in suburban Portland, Oregon, said Thursday they arrested a crime ring leader responsible for trafficking more than 44,000 catalytic converters stolen from vehicles on the West Coast since 2021.
Detectives said they identified Brennan Doyle, 32, as the leader of the operation and searched his Lake Oswego home last week, along with seven other properties. The detectives seized over 3,000 catalytic converters hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, a high-end car and jewelry, Oregon Public Broadcasting reported.
Doyle and his associates are accused of stealing catalytic converters from vehicles along the West Coast, Beaverton police spokesperson Matt Henderson said. The crime ring was centered around Portland, but spanned multiple Oregon counties as well as Washington state, Nevada, California, Texas and New York, he said.
The metals inside catalytic converters can sell for thousands of dollars per ounce. The street value of the parts stolen and trafficked was estimated to be over $22 million.
The crime ring shipped boxes of converters to the East Coast and internationally, Henderson said. Dozens, if not hundreds, of people may have been involved in the operation, he added, but declined to share more details because the investigation is ongoing.
Doyle was indicted on 72 different charges, including racketeering, aggravated theft, and money laundering. Police say one of his associates, Tanner Hellbusch of Beaverton, was caught with over 100 catalytic converters in March. He was indicted on 20 similar counts. It wasn't immediately known if they have lawyers to comment on the case.
At least 12 other people face charges in connection within the operation, police said. | https://www.ctpost.com/news/article/Cops-Oregon-crime-ring-moved-22M-in-catalytic-17368599.php | 2022-08-12T04:01:37Z | https://www.ctpost.com/news/article/Cops-Oregon-crime-ring-moved-22M-in-catalytic-17368599.php | true | 39 |

Brazil has 3 teams in Copa Libertadores semifinals
At least one Brazilian team will be at the Oct. 29 final in Guayaquil, Ecuador, but the chance of another all-Brazil affair is high due to Flamengos high favoritism in its semifinal.Palmeiras reached the semis after beating local rivals Atletico Mineiro on penalties on Wednesday after a goalless draw at home.
Brazilian teams are once again dominating the Copa Libertadores and have secured three spots in this year's semifinals of South America's top club soccer competition. Defending champions Palmeiras will take on Athletico, led by their former coach Luiz Felipe Scolari, a World Cup winner as coach with Brazil in 2002. Last year's runner-up Flamengo will face Argentina's Velez Sarsfield, which reached the last four after eliminating Talleres. At least one Brazilian team will be at the Oct. 29 final in Guayaquil, Ecuador, but the chance of another all-Brazil affair is high due to Flamengo's high favoritism in its semifinal.
Palmeiras reached the semis after beating local rivals Atletico Mineiro on penalties on Wednesday after a goalless draw at home. The first leg in Belo Horizonte last week ended 2-2, with Palmeiras coming back from a 2-0 deficit.
The Palmeiras versus Athletico semifinal will have an emotional component for both sides. Scolari was the coach of the defending Copa Libertadores champions for their first title in the tournament in 1999. Flamengo beat Corinthians 3-0 on aggregate. The Rio de Janeiro giant, which is negotiating with former Chelsea midfielder Oscar to join for the next round, won the second leg 1-0 at the Maracana Stadium on Tuesday with a goal by striker Pedro in the 52nd minute.
Athletico needed the last moments of their second leg against Estudiantes de La Plata on Thursday to score the only and winning goal of its tie. Vitor Roque, who is 17, scored the decider with a close-range header.
Argentina's Velez beat Talleres in both legs to secure its place among the last four with a 4-2 aggregate win. It beat its rival away on Wednesday with a goal by Julian Fernandez in the 79th minute.
The Copa Sudamericana, the second most prestigious tournament in the region, will feature a Brazilian finalist against Peru's Melgar or Ecuador's Independiente Del Valle, the winners of the tournament in 2019.
The 2012 champion Sao Paulo side beat countrymen of Ceará on penalties on Wednesday after a 2-2 aggregate result, while Atletico Goianiense beat Luis Suarez's Nacional of Uruguay 3-0 at home, adding to its 1-0 win in Montevideo in the first leg. Del Valle advanced with a 5-1 victory on aggregate against Venezuela's Deportivo Tachira. Melgar eliminated Brazil's Internacional on penalties on Thursday after two goalless matches.

Last Thursday a man swimming in Lake Thonotosassa in Florida got bitten in the face by an alligator. Whether you are a resident or visitor to Florida, you are at risk from both sharks and alligators, but which is more dangerous, and how do you avoid becoming a tasty morsel for either?
It is estimated that 1.3 million alligators live in Florida, that’s about 1 alligator for every 15 residents. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission recommends people stay away from alligators, while that may sound like something Captain Obvious would say, there are still about ten newsworthy alligator attacks annually and an average of one death every 3 years.
It is impossible to know how many sharks live in Florida’s coastal waters, but Florida does lead the world in number of shark attacks, an average of 30 per year. There have been no deaths related to shark attacks since 2010. The Florida Museum keeps an International Shark Attack File where you can learn anything at all you ever wanted to know about shark attacks. New Smyrna Beach, Fl. is the shark attack capital of the world. This terrifying photo was taken by a drone just off the beach.
Which is more dangerous? Though sharks account for about 3x the number of attacks as alligators, the thing with alligators is, they can be anywhere at any time. Alligators live in or near streams, swamps, lakes, ponds… any source of fresh water. Sharks only live in salt water so are only a danger to people enjoying the ocean.
Here are three ways to avoid alligator attacks, and twelve ways to avoid a shark attack. | https://original.newsbreak.com/@matthew-c-woodruff-1599275/2697598113242-sharks-vs-alligators-which-one-is-more-dangerous-to-you | 2022-08-12T04:14:51Z | https://original.newsbreak.com/@matthew-c-woodruff-1599275/2697598113242-sharks-vs-alligators-which-one-is-more-dangerous-to-you | false | 1 |

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) on Thursday slammed the “sickening” attacks Republican lawmakers have directed toward the FBI agents involved with the search on former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence, arguing that the remarks are putting personnel at risk.
“I have been ashamed to hear members of my party attacking the integrity of the FBI agents involved with the recent Mar-a-Lago search,” Cheney wrote on Twitter. “These are sickening comments that put the lives of patriotic public servants at risk.”
Cheney’s statement came days after the FBI executed a search warrant on Trump’s Florida Mar-a-Lago property — a move that, according to multiple outlets, was part of an ongoing probe into the potential mishandling of documents.
Reports have indicated that Trump may have brought classified documents to Mar-a-Lago when he departed the White House.
A number of Republican lawmakers criticized the FBI following news of the search, painting the FBI as politicized and likening it to an authority that would operate in a third-world country.
Attorney General Merrick Garland on Thursday, in his first public remarks since the search, addressed those comments.
“Let me address recent unfounded attacks on the professionalism of the FBI and Justice Department agents and prosecutors. I will not stand by silently when their integrity is unfairly attacked,” Garland said in remarks from the Justice Department headquarters.
“The men and women of the FBI and the Justice Department are dedicated, patriotic public servants. Every day they protect the American people from violent crime, terrorism, and other threats to their safety while safeguarding our civil rights. They do so at great personal sacrifice and risk to themselves. I am honored to work alongside them,” he added.
Garland’s comments came in a statement he delivered to announce that the Justice Department had moved to unseal the search warrant for Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence, as well as its property receipt.
Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) on Thursday also pushed back on attacks from his GOP colleagues and called on his fellow Republicans to speak up if they feel the same way.
“Listening to Republicans attack law enforcement is wrong, dangerous, and shameful,” Kinzinger wrote on Twitter.
“They will pick their cult leader over anything, but this is especially wrong. Every Republican official who doesn’t agree with those attacks MUST speak out if there are any patriots left,” he added.
Cheney has frequently criticized her Republican colleagues and Trump, especially through her role as vice chairwoman of the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
In a closing campaign ad for her upcoming reelection primary race, Cheney took another jab at the former president.
“America cannot remain free if we abandon the truth. The lie that the 2020 presidential election was stolen is insidious,” she said. “It preys on those who love their country. It is a door Donald Trump opened to manipulate Americans to abandon their principles, to sacrifice their freedom, to justify violence, to ignore the rulings of our courts and the rule of law.” | https://www.wjbf.com/hill-politics/liz-cheney-slams-sickening-gop-attacks-on-fbi-agents-involved-with-trump-search/ | 2022-08-12T04:41:46Z | https://www.wjbf.com/hill-politics/liz-cheney-slams-sickening-gop-attacks-on-fbi-agents-involved-with-trump-search/ | false | 23 |
Five years after deadly attack, sentencing hearing begins for Freeman High School shooter
Aug. 12—The former Freeman High School student who killed one of his classmates and injured three others should have a chance to live a meaningful life after he gets out of prison, his defense attorney argued Thursday, while prosecutors argued the 20-year-old should serve more time behind bars to pay for the damage he did to the community.
Sentencing hearings for Caleb Sharpe began Thursday morning and are expected to continue through next week.
Sharpe was 15 when on Sept. 13, 2017, he entered Freeman High School with multiple weapons and opened fire on his classmates. He killed Sam Strahan, wounded three girls and traumatized dozens of others.
Early this year, Sharpe pleaded guilty to aggravated murder, three counts of attempted murder and one count of assault.
More than 200 Freeman community members shared how the shooting impacted them in weeks of testimony earlier this year.
On Thursday, attorneys made their opening arguments on what Sharpe's sentence should be to Spokane County Superior Court Judge Michael Price.
Strahan's mother, Ami Strahan, sat in the front row surrounded by fellow Freeman families, watching the proceedings Thursday with a white ribbon pinned to her chest.
Sharpe's parents and a handful of family members sat directly behind him.
Public defender Brooke Foley argued that he should serve a 20-year fixed sentence due in part to his immaturity and untreated mental illness at the time of the shooting.
The Washington State Supreme Court has acknowledged that youthfulness must be considered and that young people's brains aren't fully developed, Foley noted.
Sharpe had severe depression with psychotic features and untreated ADHD at the time of the shooting, Foley said. There had been signs of Sharpe's growing mental illness for years, she said.
A variety of circumstances contributed to his mental status, including moving away from his friends to Spokane Valley, spending more time alone as his parents grew busier, playing first-person shooter games, a break-up and an obsession with increasingly dark movies and documentaries, Foley argued.
Sharpe's comments at the time about his desire to hurt others "go unreported, unnoticed," Foley said.
In a school assignment shortly before the shooting, Sharpe listed his prized possession as a gun, she said. None of Sharpe's concerning behavior was reported until he passed notes to two girls who thought he might be suicidal; he then saw a school counselor, Foley said.
All of those signs of failing mental health, along with Sharpe's immaturity, should be considered as mitigating factors and reduce his sentence, Foley said. Since being incarcerated, Sharpe's ADHD has been treated and his brain has matured, showing signs he could be rehabilitated, she said.
"There's no one here that disputes how horrible that day was," Foley said.
Sharpe has taken responsibility for his actions and is remorseful, Foley said, noting he pleaded guilty earlier this year and didn't object to extensive victim impact statements.
Deputy Prosecutor Sharon Hedlund acknowledged that Sharpe's youth should be a mitigating factor but requested a 35-year sentence, with the requirement that before his release, a sentencing review board consider Sharpe's likelihood to reoffend and whether he has been rehabilitated.
Foley's description of Sharpe as a moody, self-conscious and struggling isn't abnormal, Hedlund argued.
"She's describing a fairly typical teenage boy," Hedlund said.
The prosecution's experts agree that Sharpe was "slightly immature for his age," but Hedlund argued that his immaturity and struggles weren't cause for him to shoot his classmates.
Sharpe's age and immaturity should be a mitigating factor, Hedlund said in agreement with the defense. However, he said, 35 years is a mitigated sentenced compared to the 90 years he could face in a standard sentence as adult.
When it comes to rehabilitation, there aren't many cases of school shooters who have been released to compare their recidivism rate, Hedlund said. Most school shooters either die during or shortly after the incident, or are still incarcerated, she said.
Hedlund argued the 35-year sentence with a requirement for a review would "provide some assurance of safety for the community."
She also argued that Sharpe hasn't shown true remorse for what he did, and the court still doesn't have a "true understanding" of why he shot his classmates.
Over the next week, both attorneys will call experts, including psychologists who examined Sharpe, along with detectives and family members to testify.
The first of those experts, Dr. Richard Adler, testified that via neuroimaging he found that shortly after the shooting, Sharpe's brain was immature for his age but has since improved, showing potential to be rehabilitated.
Adler testified that it was a combination of Sharpe's undiagnosed neurodevelopmental disorder, ADHD, immaturity and access to guns and other factors that caused him to commit the shooting.
The school counselor, who evaluated Sharpe after the note was reported to administration, should have noticed the way Sharpe was talking about being interested in violence. Acting like characters he was watching on TVand his interest in weapons as signs that he could act out violently should have been a sign, Adler said.
"If you work with young people, you should hear this and know this is not right," Adler said.
With Sharpe's current brain maturation and continuing growth, along with consistent treatment for his mental illness, Adler said he feels Sharpe is at a low risk of reoffending.
More experts, along with Sharpe's and Strahan's families, are expected to testify over the next week. Price is expected to hand down his sentence by the end of next week. | https://news.yahoo.com/five-years-deadly-attack-sentencing-040100154.html | 2022-08-12T04:42:43Z | https://news.yahoo.com/five-years-deadly-attack-sentencing-040100154.html | false | 3 |
