An Inspector of Police, simply identified as Okebata, has allegedly shot dead a police sergeant identified as Iseke Korodama.
The incident, which happened on Wednesday midnight, had caused panic within the state’s police command.
Our correspondent gathered on Friday that the incident, which took place at Agwa- Ejemekwuru Road in the Oguta Local Government Area of the state, had three other police officers and their civilian driver injured.
Police sources told our correspondent that the inspector that allegedly shot his colleague is from the Ambassador Unit of the Police Tactical Unit at the command headquarters but was on duty in Egbema.
“The victims are the operatives from the Surveillance team of the command headquarters. The attacking team is from the Ambassador Unit,” a source said.
Our correspondent gathered that the victims were riding in an unmarked vehicle when attacked.
Another source said, “It was an operational error. The offensive team mistook them to be criminals who were on their way to attack Ogboaku police station.”
Others injured were Inspector Saviour Isong, Inspector Samuel Chukwuekezi, Sergeant Okija Darlington, and the driver, Emmanuel Onyemana.
The driver, conveying the team in a minibus before the attack, is still in critical condition.
Speaking in hushed tones, one was heard telling his colleagues, “These men, especially Inspector Korodama, had worked with the Officer Commanding (O. C) Ambassadors Squad, Egbema, Inspector Chikadia Okebata (‘Kill and Bury’) at Egbema and they met each other that same night before the incident.”
A source said, “The policemen got a signal that a group of bandits were preparing an attack and were headed their way, so they positioned to intercept the hoodlums. So when an unmarked Mini-bus moving at night with heavily armed occupants came their way, they mistook them for the hoodlums and tried to demobilize them. That is what I heard until we see an official statement from the command.
When our correspondent visited the Police Clinic where the victims were said to have been admitted, it was found that they had been discharged except for the deceased.
A reliable source, however, confided in our correspondent that Inspector Iseke Korodama and the driver were rushed to the hospital the same Wednesday night. While the Inspector was pronounced dead on arrival, the driver was treated and allowed to go on Thursday.
Other casualties, Saviour Isong, Samuel Chukwuekezi, and Okija Darlington, came to the clinic on Thursday, were treated for their injuries, and discharged the same day.
The command’s spokesperson, Micheal Abattam, had yet to respond to the inquiries made by our correspondent as of the time of filing this report. | https://punchng.com/imo-inspector-kills-sergeant-injures-four-others/ | 2022-08-12T17:10:29Z | https://punchng.com/imo-inspector-kills-sergeant-injures-four-others/ | true | 1 |
Kate Middleton Has a Very Flirty, Borderline Inappropriate Nickname for Prince William
Just like any ordinary family, the British royals like to give one another nicknames, and Prince William and Kate Middleton are no exception. Now what I'm inclined to do here is ask you, dear reader, to take a stab at guessing Kate's nickname for Will.
...There's no way you guessed it, so let me put you out of your misery. Two words: “Big Willy.” Here's a cute pic of Will and Kate while you let that marinate.
Yep, this v flirty, v sexy nickname “used to be” what Kate would call the Duke of Cambridge, per the Mirror. The tabloid suggests the royals have since retired this moniker because “they certainly couldn’t get away with using [it] today.” TBH though, if I were in charge of the duke and duchess' PR, I would be alllll for its continued use, but, hey. That's just me.
“Big Willy” also scores brownie points because it goes way back to the couple's college days. It was even used years later when guests at William and Kate's royal wedding got a taste of it via Prince Harry, who incorporated the nickname during his speech. At the time, the Daily Star reportedly spoke with anonymous “late-night revelers leaving the party” who dished that Harry's toast incorporated “a high-pitched impersonation of Kate calling William one of her favorite nicknames, 'Big Willy.'” LOL!
Around the same time, another insider revealed to the Sun that, in general, the royals “are not very good at communicating with one another” and nicknames thus function as “a way of taking the family tension out of things.”
“They love to play games and they give each other silly presents,” the publication's royal expert added. “Royals have always played in private. So William and Kate are really carrying on a long held tradition. It’s done with affection usually and there are grains of truth about what one feels about another.” If that's the case, then def try to not linger on the deeper meaning of “Big Willy” too much 😬.
A refresher on the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge' ~love~ story: Prior to claiming their royal titles, the pair built a strong foundation as friends while they were both students at St. Andrews University. “When I first met Kate, I knew there was something very special about her, and then I knew there was possibly something I wanted to explore there, but we ended up being friends for a while,” Prince William explained during the duo's now-famous 2010 engagement interview with ITV News's Tom Bradby. “That was a good sort of foundation,” William added. “I do genuinely believe now that being friends with [each other] is a massive advantage.”
I can only assume that on the list of advantages is being able to get away with seriously cheeky nicknames!

Crops Plunge in Chicago as US Report Signals Record Soy Output
Bloomberg News
,(Bloomberg) -- Soybeans fell in Chicago after a US Department of Agriculture report signaled this year’s crop could be the biggest ever. The forecast dragged down prices for other crops along with it.
Domestic soy production is forecast at 4.531 billion bushels, a record. USDA also raised its soy yield estimate to a record 51.9 bushels an acre, more than the 51.04 analysts expected. That’s because crops advanced more quickly than normal in states such as top grower Illinois, the report said. Overall, good crops in the eastern half of the Midwest offset slower-developing ones in the western half of the region.
“Soybeans are pretty much the leader dragging the rest of the commodities lower,” Terry Reilly, senior commodity analyst at Futures International, said in an interview.
This month’s report, known as the World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates or WASDE, is closely watched as it comes in the midst of the US growing season. The data also arrives as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine stoked inflation worldwide and pushed more macro traders into the oft-sleepy grains market.
Soybeans fell as much as 2.3% to $14.1525 a bushel in Chicago, while corn dropped as much as 1.8% before reversing losses and wheat as much as 3.4%.

Amid buzz about reintroduction of cheetahs in India, senior officials of the Madhya Pradesh forest department on Friday said they are unaware about the exact plans of the arrival of the animals to the state's Kuno-Palpur National Park (KNP). There were speculations that the cheetahs will arrive in the state by August 15 and arrangements such as setting up an enclosure have been made at the KNP.
“We are not aware of their arrival till now, as it is a matter between the Central government and foreign countries involved in the project,” the state's principal chief conservator of forest (Wildlife) J S Chauhan said. India had last month signed a MoU with the Namibian government for procuring the cheetahs in the KNP under the ambitious reintroduction project.

The official also refused to comment on whether the cheetahs being procured from Namibia and South Africa will arrive together or separately. The Centre has already inked an agreement with Namibia for the intercontinental translocation of cheetahs, but the one proposed with South Africa is not yet signed, an official said. Earlier, a senior official when asked about the plan to re-introduce cheetahs on Indian soil said that they are working on it and the fastest animal on earth will arrive here in August.
When specifically asked about the date, August 15, the forest department's principal secretary Ashok Barnwal had said, “It can be.” Dehradun-based Wildlife Institute of India (WII) dean and senior professor Yadvendradev Vikramsinh Jhala, popularly known as Y V Jhala, had earlier told PTI when asked if cheetahs will come to India on the occasion of Independence Day, “I don't know, but it is possible also.”
The KNP in Sheopur district has already made preparations for housing 12 to 15 cheetahs and has earmarked an area of 5 sq km with eight compartments for initially keeping the translocated animals. The national park is spread in an area of over 750 sq km and is capable of handling cheetahs, as it has maintained a large prey base of cheetal, sambhar, blue bull, wild boar and langoor among others, he said.
The country's last spotted cheetah died in Chhattisgarh, undivided Madhya Pradesh in 1947 and the animal was declared extinct in the country in 1952. A few years ago, the WII prepared a cheetah reintroduction project. Kuno, located in the Chambal region, is spread over an area of more than 750 sq km and has a conducive environment for the cheetah, he said.
Earlier, the sanctuary was also shortlisted as the second home of the famous Asiatic Lions of Gujarat, but the programme ran into trouble with the Gujarat government opposing the shifting of lions from Gir forest, the officials said. The issue of translocation has become a bone of contention between the two BJP-ruled states, as the government has refused to part with the Asiatic lions for the neighbouring state, following which a day-long bandh was also observed in Sheopur district in protest.

▶ Watch Video: Doctors transplant pig heart into human for first time Twenty people who were blind or on the verge of being so have had some or all of their sight restored thanks to a food industry byproduct – pig skin. Researchers from Linköping University and LinkoCare Life Sciences AB were able to give the group their vision back with a special corneal implant made from medical-grade collage from porcine skin, a purified food industry byproduct that’s used in FDA-approved medical devices for treating glaucoma. The implant was given to those who suffer from diseased corneas, the outermost and transparent layer of the eye, an issue that affects millions of people worldwide. A 2016 study found that an estimated 12.7 million people are on waiting lists for cornea transplants, which are the only curative treatment for corneal blindness, and that only one in 70 is able to get the surgery. Most of those in need of the surgery, which requires a human donation, live in low- and middle-income countries in Asia, Africa and the Middle East. But the latest study, published on Thursday in Nature Biotechnology, could provide a new and less invasive solution. The newly bioengineered corneas were given to 14 people in Iran and India who were already blind and six others who were on the verge of losing their sight. Scientists immediately saw promising results. Along with limited donor availability, the typical treatment, which requires doctors to surgically replace a cornea and sew it into place, also risks graft rejection, healing complications, infections, astigmatism and the need for long-term support. The new method, however, allows doctors to insert the implant into the existing cornea, requires no stitches and incision is minimally invasive with either an advanced laser or by hand. “The operations were free from complications; the tissue healed fast; and an eight-week treatment with immunosuppressive eye drops was enough to prevent rejection of the implant,” a press release for the study states. “With conventional cornea transplants, medicine must be taken for several years. The patients were followed for two years, and no complications were noted during that time.” An advanced laser such as the one pictured can be used as a minimally invasive method to insert the bioengineered implant into the cornea. Thor Balkhed The patients’ new corneas were restored to normal, scientists found, and as a group, their sight improved as much as it would have with a typical cornea transplant, if not better. By the end of the study, all 14 people who had once been blind had fully regained their vision – including three who ended up having perfect 20/20 vision. “Bioengineering implantable tissue is the key to addressing the global burden of corneal blindness,” the study says. Along with the promising procedure results, the new corneas can also be more accessible as they can be stored for much longer than organ donations: two years compared to two weeks. And because they are packaged and sterile, the study says, they don’t require pathogen testing if there are viral outbreaks. Researchers still must do a larger clinical study before the new treatment can be formally approved and used in health care and they said they also want to see if the technology they developed can be used for other eye diseases. “We’ve made significant efforts to ensure that our invention will be widely available and affordable by all and not just by the wealthy,” Mehrdad Rafat, the researcher and entrepreneur behind the design and development of the implants, said in a press release. “That’s why this technology can be used in all parts of the world.” | https://www.ktsa.com/pig-skin-protein-gives-sight-back-to-14-blind-people/ | 2022-08-12T17:31:25Z | https://www.ktsa.com/pig-skin-protein-gives-sight-back-to-14-blind-people/ | true | 5 |
MISSION, Texas, Aug. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Rio South Texas, located at the heart of the North American supply chain, has always been hailed for its multimodality. Major U.S-Mexico border crossings, international airports, deep-water seaports, and interstate highways have made the region the ultimate intermodal trade hub for businesses with North American operations. In addition, the region’s connection to the North American Class 1 Rail Network is responsible for the export and import of hundreds of millions of products annually. This North American railway access, in combination with the opportunities provided by the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), further optimizes the logistical advantages that Rio South Texas offers manufacturers and logistics providers located in the region.
Rio South Texas offers a robust international Class 1 railway infrastructure with US services through Union Pacific Railroad and BNSF Railway Co., Mexico service via Kansas City Southern de Mexico, and local short line services via Brownsville & Rio Grande International Railroad (BRG), Border Pacific Railroad, as well as Rio Valley Switching. Thousands of carloads are reported via the BRG annually (more than 40,000 in 2019). Furthermore, the pending merger between Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern will take Rio South Texas’ railway logistics to the next level by providing streamlined services across the US, Mexico, and Canada, meaning trade volumes will likely continue to grow with Canadian Pacific’s and Kansas City Southern’s commitment to our region.
Freight rail also serves as the major connector to the rest of the logistics options in the region. Short-line rail services connect to local seaports, facilitating waterborne transport via the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (which itself channels more than 500 million tons of cargo) and the global seas via the Gulf of Mexico. The Rio South Texas region’s railways also offer intermodal connections to interstate highway transport as well as air cargo, connecting the region to the world, with Rio South Texas’ Valley International Airport ranking in the top 80 U.S. for air cargo.
If you are shipping globally, into the United States or out of it, or if you are looking to manufacture products in North America for North America, take a look at what Rio South Texas has to offer.

Geneva [Switzerland], August 12 (ANI): UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet will conduct an official visit to Bangladesh Sunday, 14 August, upon the invitation of the Government, the UN Office of the high commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) said on Friday.
The OHCHR said in a statement that this is the first official visit by a UN Human Rights Chief to the country.
During her visit to Dhaka, the High Commissioner is scheduled to meet with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wazed and other Ministers.
She will also meet with the National Human Rights Commission, representatives of civil society organisations and other stakeholders. In addition, Bachelet will deliver a speech at the Bangladesh Institute of International and Strategic Studies.
The High Commissioner will also travel to Cox's Bazar where she will be able to visit camps housing Rohingya refugees from Myanmar and meet with refugees, officials and non-governmental organisations.
Bachelet will hold a news conference in Dhaka at the end of her mission, on Wednesday 17 August at 17h30 local time. Access to the news conference will be strictly limited to accredited media.
This comes a few days after the Human Rights Watch (HRW) said Bachelet should publicly call for an immediate end to serious abuses including extrajudicial killings, torture, and enforced disappearances during her upcoming visit to Bangladesh, nine human rights organizations said today.
During the trip, she will meet with government officials and civil society organizations and visit the Rohingya refugee camps.
"If the high commissioner fails to clearly condemn these abuses and seek reform, the ruling Awami League could use her silence to legitimize its abuses and undermine activists," HRW said.
Hundreds of Bangladeshis have been forcibly disappeared, tortured, and killed since the government led by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina first took office in 2009.
Although security forces in Bangladesh have long committed grave human rights abuses under successive governments, including torture and extrajudicial executions, enforced disappearances in particular have become a hallmark of Sheikh Hasina's rule of more than a decade.

HCCI vs. CWST: Which Stock Is the Better Value Option?
Investors interested in Pollution Control stocks are likely familiar with Heritage-Crystal Clean (HCCI) and Casella (CWST). But which of these two stocks is more attractive to value investors? We'll need to take a closer look to find out.
We have found that the best way to discover great value opportunities is to pair a strong Zacks Rank with a great grade in the Value category of our Style Scores system. The proven Zacks Rank puts an emphasis on earnings estimates and estimate revisions, while our Style Scores work to identify stocks with specific traits.
Right now, both Heritage-Crystal Clean and Casella are sporting a Zacks Rank of # 1 (Strong Buy). The Zacks Rank favors stocks that have recently seen positive revisions to their earnings estimates, so investors should rest assured that both of these companies have improving earnings outlooks. But this is just one piece of the puzzle for value investors.
Value investors are also interested in a number of tried-and-true valuation metrics that help show when a company is undervalued at its current share price levels.
Our Value category highlights undervalued companies by looking at a variety of key metrics, including the popular P/E ratio, as well as the P/S ratio, earnings yield, cash flow per share, and a variety of other fundamentals that have been used by value investors for years.
HCCI currently has a forward P/E ratio of 10.49, while CWST has a forward P/E of 77.97. We also note that HCCI has a PEG ratio of 0.70. This popular metric is similar to the widely-known P/E ratio, with the difference being that the PEG ratio also takes into account the company's expected earnings growth rate. CWST currently has a PEG ratio of 5.50.
Another notable valuation metric for HCCI is its P/B ratio of 2.24. The P/B is a method of comparing a stock's market value to its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. By comparison, CWST has a P/B of 9.51.
These metrics, and several others, help HCCI earn a Value grade of A, while CWST has been given a Value grade of F.
Both HCCI and CWST are impressive stocks with solid earnings outlooks, but based on these valuation figures, we feel that HCCI is the superior value option right now.
Zacks Names "Single Best Pick to Double"
From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all.
It’s a little-known chemical company that’s up 65% over last year, yet still dirt cheap. With unrelenting demand, soaring 2022 earnings estimates, and $1.5 billion for repurchasing shares, retail investors could jump in at any time.
This company could rival or surpass other recent Zacks’ Stocks Set to Double like Boston Beer Company which shot up +143.0% in little more than 9 months and NVIDIA which boomed +175.9% in one year.

Woman who married a man born with no jaw says people accuse her of FAKING her feelings for him
A woman who married a man who had half his face missing due to an extremely rare condition that left him with a jaw loss has now revealed that internet trolls often accuse her of faking her feelings for her husband to get the attention of others.
Joseph, 41, and Vania, 39, Williams, from Chicago tied the knot in 2020, and although the two are madly in love, their relationship has not been smooth sailing as they often face backlash from strangers who have a lot to say about Joseph’s condition.
Joseph was born with an extremely rare condition called otofacial syndrome, which left him without a jaw or chin.
After dealing with bullying and hatred throughout his life, Joseph found dating difficult because he struggled with “low self-esteem and feeling worthless.”
Vania, 39, from Chicago married Joseph Williams, 41, in 2020 and haters have accused her of ‘faking their marriage for attention’
Joseph was born with an extremely rare condition, otofacial syndrome, which left him with no jaw or chin
The two often get hatred from strangers who claim that Vania is faking her feelings for Joseph to get attention and sympathy
However, Joseph soon found love with Vania in 2019 and started to believe in himself.
Despite their apparent love for each other, the two often face hatred from strangers who claim that Vania is faking her feelings for Joseph in order to gain attention and sympathy.
Vania, who “never dated anyone with a disability” before meeting Joseph, didn’t understand how their relationship could work when she first met him.
If people questioned their relationship, the 39-year-old would often lie and tell others that the two were “just friends” because she was “ashamed” and “ashamed.”
“Getting to know Joe over time made me stop seeing his face, I just saw his mind, his personality,” Vania said.
A year after meeting, the two, who communicate through their phones and sign language, say their relationship is about love and nothing else.
Joseph has described the hatred they receive as “unnerving,” noting that people often say that Vania “can’t kiss him” or “cheat him.”
Others wonder how the two could have sex and even go so far as to ‘fake’ [their] marriage for attention.’
“When we go out together, it’s really just staring, people sometimes pick up their phones to film or take pictures, but they never say anything, they just stare,” Vania added.
However, Joseph sees the hatred “as clear as the day” and wishes that people would “just ask him what happened” rather than act “ignorantly.”
The couple’s family has been supportive from the start, but Vania’s mother was concerned because she thought her daughter Joseph would have to provide 24/7 care.
Joseph has described the hatred they receive as “unnerving”; noting that people often say that Vania “can’t kiss him” or “cheat him”
Joseph sees the hate ‘as clear as the day’ and wishes people ‘just ask him what happened’ instead of acting ‘ignorant’
Despite the countless hate messages and constant stares, the couple says their relationship is about love and nothing else
Joseph, unsure of the cause of the syndrome, communicates through sign language, gestures, taking notes, and using his phone.
He eats through mixed food and passes it through a tube in his stomach.
Joseph said, “I have a tube in my neck called a windpipe that helps me breathe.
“And I learned sign language when I was two years old to help me communicate.
“Since then, however, I’ve also found other ways to help me communicate, such as taking notes and typing into my phone.
“When I was only a few days old, I was taken from Illinois, where I was born, to Chicago for multiple surgeries.
“I had a bone and skin graft when they tried to build me a jaw, but as I grew, my body rejected it and it wasn’t successful.
“And I was also put up for adoption, so I got to know my adopted family.
“Growing up was difficult and being born that way gave me a lot of problems, but I tried not to let it affect me.
‘I can’t eat, speak or even breathe properly.
“I have a tube in my stomach that I can put mixed food in, but this means I’ve never tasted food.”
And while the family would need constant care, they soon regained consciousness when they saw how “independent” Joseph was.
‘[Joseph] doesn’t need my help with anything,” Vania added.
Despite the countless hate messages and constant stares, the couple says their relationship is about love and nothing else. | https://whatsnew2day.com/woman-who-married-a-man-born-with-no-jaw-says-people-accuse-her-of-faking-her-feelings-for-him/ | 2022-08-12T17:41:05Z | https://whatsnew2day.com/woman-who-married-a-man-born-with-no-jaw-says-people-accuse-her-of-faking-her-feelings-for-him/ | true | 1 |

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Anne Heche is on life support after suffering a brain injury in a fiery crash a week ago and her survival isn’t expected, according to a statement from a representative.
The actor, who is in a coma and in critical condition, is being kept on life support for possible organ donation, according to the statement released Thursday night on behalf of her family and friends.
Heche, who’s been hospitalized at the Grossman Burn Center at West Hills hospital north of Los Angeles, suffered a “severe anoxic brain injury,” the statement said. Such an injury is caused by a sustained lack of oxygen to the brain.
“She is not expected to survive,” the statement said. “It has long been her choice to donate her organs and she is being kept on life support to determine if any are viable.”
On the morning of Aug. 5, Heche’s car smashed into a house in a neighborhood in west Los Angeles and a fire erupted with the car embedded inside the home.
Earlier Thursday, police said they were investigating Heche for driving under the influence. Detectives with a search warrant took a sample of her blood and found narcotics in her system, LAPD spokesperson Officer Jeff Lee said.
Toxicology tests, which can take weeks to complete, must be performed to identify the drugs more clearly and to differentiate them from any medication she may have been given for treatment at the hospital.
Evidence is still being gathered from the crash, police said, and they would present a case to prosecutors if it is warranted when the investigation is complete.
A representative for Heche declined comment on the investigation.
On Tuesday, Heche spokesperson Heather Duffy Boylston said she had been in a coma since after the accident, with burns that required surgery and lung injuries that required the use of a ventilator to breathe.
“Anne had a huge heart and touched everyone she met with her generous spirit. More than her extraordinary talent, she saw spreading kindness and joy as her life’s work — especially moving the needle for acceptance of who you love,” Thursday’s statement said. “She will be remembered for her courageous honesty and dearly missed for her light.”
Heche, 53, was among the most prominent film stars in Hollywood in the late 1990s, playing opposite actors including Johnny Depp (“Donnie Brasco”) and Harrison Ford (“Six Days, Seven Nights”). In a 2001 memoir, she discussed her lifelong struggles with mental health.
She recently had recurring roles on the network TV series “Chicago P.D.” and “All Rise,” and in 2020 was a contestant on “Dancing With the Stars.” | https://www.wccbcharlotte.com/2022/08/12/anne-heche-on-life-support-survival-of-crash-not-expected/ | 2022-08-12T17:48:43Z | https://www.wccbcharlotte.com/2022/08/12/anne-heche-on-life-support-survival-of-crash-not-expected/ | true | 58 |
Cowboy State residents have been inundated with political ads recently. Congresswoman Liz Cheney’s campaign team has been spending a lot on radio and TV spots, and Cheney – a Republican and Wyoming's lone representative in the U.S. House – has been making plenty of appearances on national Sunday talk shows.
Some of her messaging is also directly trying to appeal to Independents and Democrats. Mailers and campaign web pages include instructions on how voters can change their party affiliation to cast a vote in the GOP primary on August 16.
Cheney’s main challenger is attorney Harriet Hageman, who’s endorsed by former President Donald Trump. Hageman's been trying to appeal to Republicans who have felt alienated by Cheney for her vote to impeach Trump, and her role as vice chair of the House select committee investigating Trump's involvement in the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
In an emailed statement, Carly Miller, Hageman's campaign manager, slammed the incumbent’s strategies.
“When Liz Cheney’s only hope is to appeal to Democrats to raid a Republican primary, you know she has gone all the way over to Nancy Pelosi’s side,” Miller said. “Wyoming is fed up with Cheney and it’s too late for any election shenanigans to save her.”
At least one of Hageman's ads compares Cheney to Hillary Clinton.
Nonetheless, as the primary nears, left-leaning and moderate voters in Wyoming are responding to Cheney’s messaging. K.O. Strohbehn lives in Jackson, a liberal, wealthy tourism community at the gateway to Grand Teton National Park, and she recently switched her party affiliation to vote for Cheney.
“She’s one of the few that is living up to her oath of office,” Shtrohbehn said.
Teton County went blue by over 38 percentage points in the 2020 presidential race, but the number of registered Republicans in the county recently overtook registered Democrats for the first time in more than two years. That's because in Wyoming, voters can switch allegiances up to the day of the primary.
“I appreciate the fact that we can do that because she needs to know that there are people that appreciate what she’s trying to do,” Strohbehn said.
Statewide, the number of registered Democrats has dropped 13 percent – nearly 7,000 people – since January, while Republic registrations have risen by more than 11,000.
Jim King, a political science professor at the University of Wyoming, said this type of movement often happens before the state's primaries, though this year more people than usual are making the switch.
“It's reasonable that someone, whether they're a Democrat, an Independent or a Republican, looks at it that, 'If I want to have a say in who's going to govern me for the next two years or four years, I need to participate in the Republican primary,'” King said.
More than half of the races for the state legislature and other local offices are decided before the general election, because often an opposing party lacks a candidate. The same is true in several rural Western states and counties.
King said voters, especially Independents, know this and register accordingly.
“Cheney's challenge right now is to get to those voters who disagreed with some aspects of Trump's behavior as president in his post-election activities,” he said.
But because Democrats are so outnumbered in Wyoming, the reddest state in the country, they likely won’t come into play unless the race is extremely close – King estimates within about 5,000 votes. In her race against Hageman, Cheney is down more than 20 points, according to a poll conducted about a month ago.
King points out that Hageman likely wouldn't differ much from Cheney if she heads to Washington. The incumbent has voted with Joe Biden just 18 percent of the time, according to FiveThirtyEight – less than both of Wyoming's senators. She voted with Trump 93 percent of the time.
But the barrage of ads in the race aren't attempting to sway voters based on policy differences.
“For a primary race, there seems to be a relatively low number of undecideds, which suggests that people have made up their mind,” King said. “The challenge now for the candidate is to get their people to the polls.”
Despite the arithmetic suggesting it doesn’t make a difference, some Wyoming Republicans still aren’t a fan of crossover voting. A bill that would’ve banned the practice in the state failed in the legislature earlier this year.
Other conservative lawmakers in the West feel the same way. In Idaho, GOP member Branden Durst is trying to change the state’s rules. He explained his thought process to TV station KTVB last month.
“I look at it like a team, like a sports team. You don't want the other coach picking your quarterback. you want your coach picking the quarterback and the same is true in a political party,” Durst said.
But no matter the laws on crossover voting, donors can still have a say in the other team’s starting lineups. Donors from California have contributed about $1.2 million to Cheney's reelection campaign, as the Los Angeles Times reported last week. Meanwhile, in Colorado, left-leaning groups have tried to prop up extreme right-wing candidates in hopes of creating a more favorable matchup in a general election, an effort that's been condemned by big-name Colorado Democrats.
Cheney has a 60 percent favorability rating among Democrats nationwide, according to a recent poll. Among Republicans, it’s 13 percent.

Senior Turkish officials criticise Greece for harbouring terrorists and militarising Aegean islands.
Despite having at least 200 years of state history and a deeply-rooted Hellenic culture, the Greek governance structure is built on anti-Türkiye rhetoric, Turkish Foreign Ministry officials have said.
Underscoring Greece's contribution to the Western civilisation via its language, technology, medicine, theatre and Olympics, an official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said such contribution gave Greece a "sense of entitlement."
Greece harbouring Fetullah Terrorist Organisation (FETO) members is another bone of contention between Ankara and Athens. After the July 15, 2016 defeated coup in Türkiye, Greece became a top destination for FETO terrorists fleeing justice.
"Athens is in a toxic, safe-haven state with the presence of terrorists from the DHKP-C, PKK and FETO. All of their locations are known," the official said, in response to a question on the refugee camp of Lavrion (Laurium) near the Greek capital.
Stressing that an EU country, in this day and age, is nurturing terrorists who have nothing to do with freedom, the official reminded that the PKK is an entity designated as a terrorist organisation not only by the EU but by the US as well.
FETO members in Greece
"There is no explanation for this, these are the groups that the Greek mentality feeds on with the logic that 'it will help me one day against Türkiye'," the senior official said.
According to the Greek press estimates, since July 15, 2016, nearly 20,000 Turkish citizens, mostly FETO members, crossed into Greece via the Aegean islands or the Meric (Evros) River.
While some of them went on to other European countries, about 9,000 of them sought political asylum in Greece itself.

Militarisation of Aegean islands
Türkiye in recent months has stepped up criticism of Greece stationing troops on islands in the eastern Aegean, near the Turkish coast and in many cases visible from shore.
These islands were required to be demilitarised under the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne and the 1947 Treaty of Paris, so any troops or weapons on the islands are strictly forbidden.
Citing Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar's recent remarks about arming the islands, another diplomatic official who also requested not to be named said "if the arms placed on the islands is for your protection, then we ask why? Will the Italians attack? Or is it against me? Then it is not enough."
On a question regarding the reason for Greece's frequent propaganda of "a possible attack from Türkiye," the official said Athens is exaggerating the situation and if its goal is "deterrence, then it is not a successful one because it is triggering the move that it is trying to avoid."
Türkiye has rejected the militarisation of the islands by Greece since the beginning, and has issued protests through diplomatic channels and requested the violations to stop. The issue came to the UN and NATO agenda in the 1970s.
The latest Turkish diplomatic move was to send a letter of complaint to the UN in July 2021, saying the militarisation of the islands posed a serious threat to Türkiye's security.

Maldives-bound flight from Bengaluru makes emergency landing in Coimbatore after engine overheat
- Last month, three aircraft of international carriers made emergency landings at various airports in the country within 48 hours, making it a day of technical emergencies for various airlines.
A Go First flight from Bangalore to Maldives made an emergency landing at the Coimbatore airport on Friday afternoon after the aircraft’s engine overheat alarm went off. The plane was heading to Male and was carrying 92 passengers. It was later discovered that the fault was in the alarm, and not in the engine, news agencies reported.
An hour after the flight took off, the engine overheated and the warning bell sounded, the airline said in a statement. The pilot contacted the air traffic control and requested permission to land at the nearby Coimbatore airport. “Firefighters and rescue workers were on standby after the plane landed. The flight landed safely at the Coimbatore airport around 12.57pm,” the statement read.
Engineers checked the engines and declared that there was some 'fault' in the alarm and declared that the aircraft was fit to travel, sources told PTI. Subsequently, it proceeded towards its destination.
Last month, three aircraft of international carriers made emergency landings at various airports in the country within 48 hours, making it a day of technical emergencies for various airlines. These landings were made in Calicut, Chennai and Kolkata between July 15 and 16.
Soon after, civil aviation minister Jyotiraditya Scindia chaired a high-level meeting with senior officials of the ministry and the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) air safety.

Updated August 12, 2022 at 1:29 PM ET
NEW YORK — A judge has cleared the way for a trial in the criminal case against the Trump Organization and its longtime chief financial officer, Allen Weisselberg, to begin this fall.
The case has the potential to shine a bright light on the business practices of former President Donald Trump, through internal company records that he fought hard to keep secret.
In the first public courtroom proceeding in this case in almost a year, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan denied multiple defense motions to dismiss the case and ordered jury selection to begin Oct. 24.
Weisselberg and the Trump Organization were indicted in July 2021 on charges they conspired through a variety of gimmicks and deceptions to evade federal, state and local taxes, an alleged scheme that stretched over 16 years and allegedly saved Weisselberg close to $1 million.
Since then, all of the action in the case has taken place in correspondence and behind closed doors. Throughout late 2021, the Manhattan District Attorney's Office continued to gather evidence, interviewing witnesses and presenting evidence to a grand jury.
On Jan. 1, a new Manhattan district attorney, Alvin Bragg, was sworn in, replacing Cyrus Vance Jr., who brought the indictment. Donald Trump went to the Supreme Court of the United States twice in an effort to block Vance's team from gathering documents. He failed both times.
In February, two senior investigators quit the District Attorney's office because they believed Bragg was unlikely to charge Donald Trump individually with crimes.
One of the attorneys, Mark Pomerantz, told Bragg in a letter his team had gathered voluminous evidence of financial crimes committed by Trump, connected with false and misleading statements about his finances.
"I fear that your decision means that Mr. Trump will not be held fully accountable for his crimes," Pomerantz wrote. "I have worked too hard as a lawyer, and for too long, now to become a passive participant in what I believe to be a grave failure of justice."
In a statement in April, Bragg insisted the investigation of Trump is ongoing, and pledged to inform the public when the probe ends. Bragg has not brought charges against Trump, and allowed a grand jury hearing evidence in the probe to lapse at the end of April.
Reached by phone in February, former Trump lawyer Ron Fischetti told NPR he believed his client is in the clear.
"I'm very happy – and you can quote me on that," he said.
Whether or not there are additional indictments, the Trump Organization and Weisselberg now are set to be tried by a local Manhattan jury. Prosecutors will likely present evidence they say shows that Donald Trump personally wrote checks for private school tuition for two of Weisselberg's family members, amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars. The income was never declared, the indictment says.
Prosecutors also say that the Trump Organization deducted the value of un-taxed benefits such as rent and utilities from Weisselberg's compensation, and recorded it in a ledger. Both Weisselberg and the Trump Organization have pleaded not guilty and denied all wrongdoing.
Lawyers for Weisselberg and the Trump Organization have attacked the case against them as politically motivated. Weisselberg's lawyers said their client is "collateral damage in the Manhattan District Attorney's and New York Attorney General's years-long pursuit of Mr. Weisselberg's long-time boss, Donald J. Trump."
They also argued that the case is deeply flawed because it relies on information gathered from an untrustworthy source: former Trump executive Michael Cohen, who was convicted of tax evasion and campaign finance crimes in 2018.
On Friday, Judge Merchan denied almost all defense motions, but did remove one count against the Trump Organization of criminal tax fraud in the third degree.

BEIJING (AP) — Chinese tech giant Huawei said Friday its revenue fell in the first half of 2022 but new ventures in autos and other industries helped to offset a decline in smartphone sales under U.S. sanctions.
Revenue fell 5.9% from a year earlier to 301.6 billion yuan ($44.8 billion) in the six months through June 30, according to the company, the biggest maker of network gear for phone and internet carriers. It gave no profit but said its profit margin was 5%, which would be about 15 billion yuan ($2.2 billion).
Huawei Technologies Ltd., China’s first global tech brand, has struggled since then-President Donald Trump blocked access to U.S. processor chips and other technology in 2019. The company denies American accusations it is a security risk and might facilitate Chinese spying.
Huawei, headquartered in Shenzhen, near Hong Kong, has stepped up development of network technology for autos, hospitals, mines and manufacturing. It says that is now less vulnerable to U.S. sanctions.
“While our device business was heavily impacted, our ICT infrastructure business maintained steady growth,” Ken Hu, one of three executives who take turns as chairman, said in a written statement.
The first-half sales decline was an improvement over a 14% drop reported for the first three months of the year. The profit margin was wider than the first quarter’s 4.3%.
Sales by Huawei’s device unit, which includes smartphones, fell 25.3% from a year earlier to 101.3 billion yuan ($15 billion). Sales of network equipment to telecom carriers and companies rose.
Huawei reported a 113.7 billion yuan ($17.8 billion) profit last year but said revenue plunged 28.6% from 2020.
Its auto venture has played a role in five models released by three Chinese automakers. Huawei supplies components and software for navigation, dashboard displays, managing vehicle systems and other services.
Huawei, founded in 1987, says it is owned by the Chinese citizens who make up half of its global workforce of 195,000. It started announcing financial results a decade ago in an effort to defuse Western security concerns about the company.
Also Friday, Huawei expressed concern about a new U.S. law, the “CHIPS and Science Act,” which promises aid to companies that invest in processor chip production in the United States. It is intended to reduce U.S. reliance on Taiwan, which produces most of the world’s high-end chips, and China, which assembles most smartphones and other electronics.
Any measure that reduces global industry collaboration “will greatly hinder scientific and technological innovation,” Huawei said in a statement. | https://myfox8.com/technology/ap-technology/chinas-huawei-says-sales-down-but-new-ventures-growing/ | 2022-08-12T18:02:35Z | https://myfox8.com/technology/ap-technology/chinas-huawei-says-sales-down-but-new-ventures-growing/ | false | 35 |
Not enough teachers are returning to Maryland classrooms this month as schools across the state, and the nation, struggle to find workers willing to show up. Some school districts plan to recruit thousands of substitutes but there’s concern about how effective temporary teachers will be for students. Lack of school staff and classroom safety issues from larger class sizes are major concerns for teachers in the Baltimore region.
More than 5,500 teachers statewide left their jobs in 2022 for various reasons, which has created a staffing crisis, data from the Maryland State Department of Education shows.
Chris Patterson is a teacher at Fort Worthington in Baltimore city, which serves students from elementary through middle school. Patterson said before the coronavirus pandemic her classes had about 35 students on average. Now she worries that she’ll have way more students this school year.
“When there are 45 kids and 50 kids, there's no way one person can accommodate and or assist effectively in that space, '' Patterson said.
When there’s too many children it’s difficult for everyone to get enough attention to learn effectively.
“There's no learning going on and the teacher is not doing their job. They are now just maintaining the space and that’s my fear,” she said.
About 13.3% of teachers across the state did not return to the same school between fall 2020 and fall 2021. The teacher attrition rate for Baltimore City Public Schools was 12% last year. The cost of turnover ranges between $9,000 and $21,000 per teacher for hiring and training, the state education department estimated.
The school district is working with principals across the system to prioritize positions that are considered critical to the academic success of students, said Alison Perkins-Cohen, chief of staff for Baltimore City Public Schools.
While the pandemic has exacerbated the teacher shortage, the additional roles developed through funding from the Kirwan Commission has contributed to vacancies, Perkins-Cohen said.
She said the funding will help, “provide the kinds of programming our young people should have had for years, so more arts programming, wider range of science, math, history programming.”
However, “those resources came at a time when there was a statewide and national shortage of teachers,” she said.
There are 1,300 vacancies across the school district with more than 150 schools. Since a recent hiring spree, about half of those jobs have been filled. But substitute teachers and alternative staff through partnerships with community programs are pitching in. Some employees who work in the district’s central office might be sent into the classrooms, she said.
Creating a strong pool of substitute teachers is also Baltimore County Public Schools’ plan to deal with the shortage. The teacher attrition rate in Baltimore County was 11% last year. The county hired Kelly Education, a substitute teacher staffing agency, to help with recruitment and hiring. They are working to recruit over a thousand substitute teachers.
Nicola Soares, president of Kelly Education said the “massive exodus of full time professional teachers,” has created a surge in demand for subs.
And that’s not a new strategy, though the situation is a bit more dire.
“Substitutes have always been the go to for school systems when there are openings, you need somebody in the room with those students, '' said Cindy Sexton, president of the Teachers Association of Baltimore County.
She added that while substitute teachers are trained before starting, being well-versed in curriculum is a challenge, “ it's not the same as having a certified educator in that room.”
Soares said the teacher shortage and demand for subs is a systemic issue. Substitute teachers are a solution, but not the answer she added.
Both teachers said vacancies will be an issue until the profession can recruit and retain teachers in large numbers.
Historically teachers are paid less than people in other fields with similar levels of education and experience. Between virtual learning and influx of staff exiting the field, the pandemic increased workload for teachers across the nation. Teachers in the Baltimore region, salaries roughly fall between $49,000 and $60,000 and vary based on degree level. Sexton agrees that wage increases can help with retainment, but expressed that workload plays a role because it’s currently unsustainable.
Teachers with less than three years of experience are most likely to quit, the state department of education data shows. Some teachers are dropping out of the education field entirely while others are stepping into roles that are education-related but not in schools. The dearth of teachers might show administrators, officials and parents alike the importance of having qualified individuals in the classroom.
“Now that teachers are aware of their value and the true power they hold, they are stepping out on faith and just taking a chance at something new because what we're doing is not working,” Patterson, the Baltimore city teacher said. | https://www.wypr.org/wypr-news/2022-08-12/thousands-of-substitute-teachers-to-close-the-teacher-gap-in-baltimore | 2022-08-12T18:03:18Z | https://www.wypr.org/wypr-news/2022-08-12/thousands-of-substitute-teachers-to-close-the-teacher-gap-in-baltimore | false | 1 |

Dangerous Invasive Bug Spotted In Michigan For The First Time In History
By Taylor Linzinmeir
August 12, 2022
The Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) has announced a potentially dangerous invasive bug has been found in Oakland County, according to FOX 17 News. This is the first time the insect has ever been found in Michigan.
A small population of the spotted lanternfly was found in Pontiac last week. The species, which is native to eastern Asia, is an invasive plant hopper. They prefer to feed on the invasive ailanthus tree, but they also feed on trees such as the black walnut, river birch, willow, sumac and red maple. They also feed on plants such as grapes. When the spotted lanternfly feed, they create a sticky liquid called honeydew. The liquid can collect on the ground or surround vegetation, which results in the growth of sooty mold. That mold can discolor or even kill plants.
“The research community is still learning about the spotted lanternfly and its potential for impacting our natural resources as well as treatments to eliminate this pest,” Michigan Department of Natural Resources invasive communications coordinator Joanne Foreman said. “It also could have an effect on important timber species statewide. What the long-term impact might be is unknown... We are in the assessment stage of response, but it is important to note that typical pest management techniques have not proven effective for eliminating the pest in other states.” | https://www.iheart.com/content/2022-08-12-dangerous-invasive-bug-spotted-in-michigan-for-the-first-time-in-history/ | 2022-08-12T18:09:59Z | https://www.iheart.com/content/2022-08-12-dangerous-invasive-bug-spotted-in-michigan-for-the-first-time-in-history/ | true | 1 |
Four Wild-Looking Ferrari Prototypes Heading to Auction During Monterey Car Week
Three are development mules for the LaFerrari hypercar.
It's not often that prototype cars from major automakers come up for sale. If you're in the market for some very interesting ones, though, today is your lucky day. Four test mules built by Ferrari will be sold by Mecum at its Monterey, California auction Aug. 18-20. Three of the vehicles are developmental cars for what would become the LaFerrari hypercar. The fourth is a prototype of the front-engined F12TDF.
None of the vehicles can be registered for use on the road. They are all relatively rough machines built to test various technologies. The oldest of the bunch, known as the "F150 Muletto M4," is based on a Ferrari 458 Italia. It was built in 2011 primarily to verify the emissions compliance of the LaFerrari's V12 engine. The second, a radical custom-bodied car built in 2012 known as the "F150 Mulotipo MP1," was assembled to ensure all of the mechanical components played nicely together; primarily the LaFerrari's carbon tub and its hybrid drivetrain. The final LaFerrari mule for sale, the "F150 Prototipe Preserie PS1," very closely resembles the production car and was built to test the final layout of its components.
The three LaFerrari mules are the most interesting. All of them are powered by the automaker's Type F140FE 789-horsepower V12. The MP1 appears to have 458 headlights and taillights, although the body is a one-off. To my eye, it resembles the Enzo quite a bit, particularly from the rear. It's a little rough and unfinished, sure, but it's a very interesting shape with cutting-edge underpinnings. Like the LaFerrari it helped develop, the MP1 features the aforementioned F140FE V12 working alongside a 161 hp oil-cooled electric motor mounted near the back of its 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Also for sale is the front-engined "MP4," which is a late development mule for the V12-powered F12TDF. The MP4 closely resembles the final production car on the outside. Most of the prototype hardware is visible in the interior and under the hood.
The hypercar prototypes are really the ones to buy. The MP1 in particular stands above the others. The earlier M4 is just sort of an uglier 458 with a V12 and funny tailpipes. The PS1 is basically a near-production LaFerrari. Both represent interesting points in the development of the LaFerrari and would be great parts of any collection, but the MP1 is really the car to buy here. It's rough, it's ready, it's a prototype Ferrari hypercar that damn sure looks like one. If I had millions of dollars, I would be willing to part with quite a few of them to get that MP1, street legal or not.

What's in Biden's big climate and health bill?
Clean energy is one of the tentpoles of US President Joe Biden's massive climate and health proposal
Hundreds of billions of dollars for clean energy projects, cheaper prescription drugs and new corporate taxes are a few of the key items in US President Joe Biden's massive investment plan, which the House of Representatives is expected to pass Friday, after Senate approval.
Here's a closer look at the signature elements of the plan, which could offer the Democratic leader a big political win heading into November's crucial midterm elections.
- $370 billion for clean energy, climate -
Producers and consumers of solar energy, as well as wind and nuclear power, would earn tax credits under the new US scheme
If the legislation is passed, it will mark the biggest investment in US history in the fight against climate change.
Rather than attempting to punish the biggest polluters in corporate America, the bill put forward by Biden's party instead proposes a series of financial incentives aimed at steering the world's biggest economy away from fossil fuels.
Tax credits would be given to producers and consumers of wind, solar and nuclear power.
If passed, the legislation would allot up to $7,500 in tax credits to every American who buys an electric vehicle. Anyone installing solar panels on their roof would see 30 percent of the cost subsidized.
Around $60 billion would be allocated for clean energy manufacturing, from wind turbines to the processing of minerals needed for electric car batteries.
The plan put forth by US Democrats would help protect the nation's forests from the ravages of persistent wildfires
The same amount would go towards programs to help drive investment in underprivileged communities, notably through grants for home renovation to improve energy efficiency and access to less polluting modes of transportation.
Huge investments would go into making forests less susceptible to wildfires and protect coastal areas from erosion caused by devastating hurricanes.
The bill aims to help the United States reduce its carbon emissions by 40 percent by 2030, as compared with 2005 levels.
- $64 billion for health care -
Bringing down US prescription drug costs is a key part of the proposed legislation
The second major aspect of the legislation is to help reduce the huge disparities in access to health care across the United States, notably by reining in skyrocketing prescription drug prices.
If the draft eventually becomes law, Medicare -- the nation's health insurance plan for those aged 65 and older, or with modest incomes -- could be permitted to negotiate prices of certain medications directly with Big Pharma for the first time, likely yielding far better deals.
The plan would require pharmaceutical companies to offer rebates on certain drugs if the prices rise faster than soaring US inflation.
It also would extend benefits under Barack Obama's signature Affordable Care Act -- known colloquially as Obamacare -- until 2025.
- Minimum corporate tax of 15% -
Alongside these huge investments, the so-called "Inflation Reduction Act" would seek to pare down the federal deficit through the adoption of a minimum corporate tax of 15 percent for all companies with profits exceeding one billion dollars.
The new tax seeks to prevent certain huge firms from using tax havens to pay far less than what they theoretically owe.
According to estimates, the measure could generate more than $258 billion in tax revenue for US government coffers over the next 10 years. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/afp/article-11106787/Whats-Bidens-big-climate-health-bill.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-08-12T18:19:04Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/afp/article-11106787/Whats-Bidens-big-climate-health-bill.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true | 9 |

Five years ago, 32-year-old Heather Heyer was killed at the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Va.
Heyer was part of a crowd of counter-protesters that filled a narrow, one-way street in downtown Charlottesville when an avowed white nationalist deliberately drove into the crowd. Heyer’s mom, Susan Bro, recalls how it happened.
“He sat there a minute, he backed up, and then he sped forward across two speed bumps into a crowd of counter-protesters,” Bro says.
The impact sent bodies flying. Several people were injured. Heyer died.
After her daughter’s death, Bro started the Heather Heyer Foundation, providing scholarships to high school students wanting to continue their education. She has since shut down the foundation to focus on her health.

Interview Highlights
On how she’s doing, five years after Unite the Right
“I have good days and bad the month before … and I wrote a piece about grief a couple of years ago, how it comes in waves. And that’s typical for everybody who’s lost somebody. It’s not just me by any means, but sometimes the waves are really high and sometimes the waves are shallow, and sometimes you’re just aware of their lapping at your ankles. But when you’ve lost a child, you always have that sense of loss. But you do learn to live and go on despite it. I mean, it’s either that or die. And I chose not to die. I chose to keep going.”
On if the city has recognized Heather at the location of her tragic death
“I don’t want Heather recognized anymore than she is. She got too much attention as it was. Heather was just there to walk in support that day. She was not an organizer. She simply wanted to walk in support of the young ladies in her office that day who were also marching and way too much attention has been given to Heather.
“I had to fend off people who wanted a park named after her or a statue in her honor. I said, ‘She wouldn’t want it. I don’t want it.’ I think naming the street after her is really all that needs to happen. And what we need to focus on going forward, and rightfully so, is to focus on the issues that led to her murder — and that is to combat white supremacy, institutionalized white supremacy, to combat racism, to combat division [and] find ways to make life equitable for everyone.”
On where Charlottesville stands in regard to equity and justice today
“Struggling and struggling. I remember meeting people from Ferguson right after Heather was murdered, and I asked them, ‘How was Ferguson doing?’ And they said, ‘struggling.’ Ten years later, they were still struggling. And Charlottesville was doing some of that.
“Housing is still a major issue for communities of color. Policing is still a major issue for communities of color. I just see all the same issues that they had before 2017 still being issues. But I will also add, I don’t live here. I don’t participate in government here. I read about it. I get the publications by email, but I’m not part of this community. I’m not involved.”
On whether commentators who watch alt-right hate and extremism for a living are making it more mainstream
“Oh, yeah … fully intentional. And they make no bones about it.”
On how she thinks Charlottesville fits into it the state of extremism in the U.S. today
“Movements like these tend to arise when communities are frustrated economically and they start looking for excuses and people to blame. They start looking for scapegoats. We’ve seen this pattern again and again in history. And then people are all too eager to follow somebody else’s solution.”
On finding hope
“Well, I’m hoping that this is the farthest that the pendulum swings. Moving forward, we’ve got to find a way to make it more equitable for everyone. We still have a long way to go with that.”
On spending the rest of her life as Heather Heyer’s mom and if it comes with a burden
“[It’s]funny because when I taught school, she said ‘I’m always Miss Heyer’s daughter’ …well, she’s got it even now.
“I have loved meeting people. I have loved traveling. I have loved being able to make a difference in the world. But it was the cost of someone so dear to me that … I would rather have her back than have any of that happen. But I don’t want to take away the good in the world that it caused to her murderer. It did serious harm to the white supremacy movement for a while, and in some aspects it’s still doing that. Not just her murder, but the car attack and the whole weekend. You know, there are people still being sued. Heck, I’ve still got a lawsuit going. I’m not looking for any money out of it, just trying to stop people from doing stuff.”
On what she sees when she looks at the world through Heather’s eyes
“Oh, she’s always skeptical. She’s always prodding people. Like I said, she’s not quiet. She’s not. She has a rest in peace. She rests in power. I often hear from people that they got this nudge from Heather or that nudge from Heather or they felt like something came together because of Heather.”
James Perkins Mastromarino and Jorgelina Manna-Rea produced and edited this interview for broadcast with Catherine Welch. Welch also adapted it for the web.

Biden's team has long sought and has not yet confirmed an in-person meeting between the two leaders to lower tensions as the two countries spar over Taiwan, trade and a host of other issues.
The White House is continuing to work on doing so, according to one person familiar with the matter, who said Biden remains open to a face-to-face visit, including on the sidelines of November's meeting of the Group of 20 nations in Indonesia.
"We don't have any details on timing or location," said a U.S. official.
Xi and Biden discussed the possible meeting during a more-than-two-hour July 28 call that included tense talks over a visit to the Chinese-claimed island of Taiwan by U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

The Class: Shareholder rights law firm Robbins+LLP reminds investors that a shareholder filed a class action on behalf of all persons or entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Carvana Co. (NYSE: CVNA) securities between May 6, 2020 and June 24, 2022, for violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Carvana, along with its subsidiaries, is an e-commerce platform for buying and selling used cars in the United States.
If you would like more information about Carvana Co.'s misconduct, click here.
What is this Case About: Carvana Co. (CVNA) Misled Investors in Connection with its Ability to Deliver Properly Registered Cars
According to the complaint, defendants made false and misleading statements and failed to disclose that: (i) Carvana faced serious, ongoing issues with documentation, registration, and title with many of its vehicles; (ii) as a result, Carvana was issuing unusually frequent temporary plates; (iii) thus, Carvana was violating laws and regulations in many existing markets; (iv) consequently, Carvana risked its ability to continue business and/or expand its business in existing markets; (v) as such, Carvana was at an increased risk of governmental investigation and action; (vi) Carvana was in discussions with state and local authorities regarding the above-stated business tactics and issues; and (vii) Carvana was facing imminent and ongoing regulatory actions including license suspensions, business cessation, and probation in several states and counties including in Arizona, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and North Carolina.
On June 24, 2022, Barron’s published an article entitled “Carvana Sought to Disrupt Auto Sales. It Delivered Undriveable Cars[,]” which detailed several issues with Carvana, including that "[i]n its haste to seize market share from competitors, Carvana was selling cars faster than it could get them registered to their new owners" and "at one point forming an ad hoc unit known as the 'undriveable-car task force.'" The article further stated that "state regulators across the U.S. have been subjecting the company to suspensions or increased oversight over registration delays and its practice of issuing multiple temporary license plates from states where it has dealer’s licenses, instead of promptly providing permanent ones." On this news, the Company’s stock price fell $6.78, or 21.5%, per share over the next two trading days to close at $24.74 per share on June 28, 2022.
Next Steps: If you acquired shares of Carvana Co. between May 6, 2020 and June 24, 2022, you have until October 3, 2022, to ask the court to appoint you lead plaintiff for the class. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. You do not have to participate in the case to be eligible for a recovery.
All representation is on a contingency fee basis. Shareholders pay no fees or expenses.

Page Industries Ltd on Thursday reported a multi-fold increase in its net profit to ₹207 crore for the first quarter ended June 2022 as compared to ₹10.9 crore during the April-June period a year ago.

LONDON, Aug. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The New Game-Changing Crypto Coin announced Presale Launch. The total supply of Persystic Token is 3B coins and 540 M of them are available on the 1st Stage of the presale. Persystic Token creates a network for people to freely communicate with one another. It's a tokenized mixed social network, allowing people to form communities based on democratic principles. Users of Persystic Token have a right to express themselves freely without the fear of demonetization, while of course respecting important boundaries. Cryptocurrency is here to stay. With an increase in brand adoption, increased NFT use, and an ever-growing metaverse, it is the future.
This coin's mission is rooted in social media. Persystic Token wants consumers and content providers to benefit from business opportunities that generate wealth. Persystic plans on achieving this by implementing these factors:
- Giving creators the right to ownership of their work
- Eliminating false news by verifying content production and consumption while keeping it open to the public
- Encouraging the creation of authentic content
- Utilising a 'Right to be Forgotten' policy, enabling users to choose if they want their content stored on Persystic. This keeps power and control in the hands of the creator.
Therefore, Persytic can be described as both the Internet of Things and the Internet of People. This coin has been made for content creators to earn a living while adding value to the social interactions that they participate in. Importantly, as creators express their talents, moral and ethical speech remains integral to this coin. Persystic token takes place on the Binance Smart Chain, while the functionality of its smart contracts is also built into Ethereum. The creators have made the coin interoperable with the Ethereum Virtual Machine and as a result, the BEP-20 standard expands the functionality of Ethereum's ERC-2016. Being compatible with Ethereum's Virtual Machine opens up access to Ethereum's ERC-20 token standards, valuable because of their use for a variety of decentralised applications (DApps).

Emirates Airlines' First Class Is All Champagne And Caviar — Literally
It's hard not to be awestruck by the Dubai skyline. This architectural paradise simply screams out wealth and opulence with its recognizable Burj Al Arab, a gleaming sail-like marvel; the Burj Khalifa, the sky-piercing tallest building on the planet; and the twisty Cayan Tower, a cleverly designed masterpiece that makes a full 90-degree turn over the span of its 73 floors (via CNN). And once you step inside this shimmering city surrounded by sand, the extravagance becomes even more apparent.
As CosmopoliClan reveals, the ceiling of the Burj Al Arab's elevator area shimmers with 21,000 Swarovski crystals. It has one of the tallest atriums in existence, and its Royal Suite boasts a shower lined with 24-karat gold. That's not all — Business Insider reveals that the city's police force even drives Ferraris and Lamborghinis. Plus, Dubai boasts the world's largest shopping mall and an indoor ski resort that gives guests the chance to hang out with real penguins and experience the thrill of a toboggan ride. Heck, Dubai even holds the classy World Record for having the world's largest champagne tower that was made up of 54,740 glasses (via Caterer Middle East).
Unsurprisingly, the airline based in this desert paradise offers its passengers the same level of splendor in the air as the city shares on land.
First class can enjoy unlimited caviar
While many airlines are employing cost-cutting measures like adding more seats, discontinuing onboard meals, and economizing their service into what feels like an airborne torture chamber, Dubai's Emirates Airlines is doing the opposite. In fact, Travel Pulse reveals that the company recently announced it is investing $2 billion in "passenger enhancements."
While Condé Nast Traveler says some of these improvements will benefit both economy and business class (including the addition of new premium economy cabins), the most awe-inspiring changes will, of course, be to first class. According to Food & Wine, the most noteworthy is the "Champagne and Caviar experience," which allows passengers to enjoy Dom Perignon with unlimited caviar. It doesn't end there. The menu has also been upgraded to include "pan-fried salmon trout with Moqueca sauce, roasted duck breast with orange thyme jus," and the vegan-friendly "pan-roasted king oyster mushrooms" and jackfruit biryani. CNT also shares that during the in-flight movie, viewers can opt for snacks like "lobster rolls, sliders, or edamame." The first to showcase completely contained suites that offer control over the temperature and both the intensity and color of your illumination, it's like having your own mini hotel room in the air (per One Mile At A Time). Swanky.
Yes, if you're tired of tiny restrooms, mashing elbows with the person beside you, subsisting on complimentary peanuts, and feeling like part of some kind of corralled herd, flying Emirates Airlines may be the cure — if you can afford it. | https://www.mashed.com/962975/emirates-airlines-first-class-is-all-champagne-and-caviar-literally/ | 2022-08-12T18:33:58Z | https://www.mashed.com/962975/emirates-airlines-first-class-is-all-champagne-and-caviar-literally/ | true | 1 |

Stolen cannon, guns among items found during arrest of wanted Mainer
A stolen cannon is among the items found at a home while authorities searched for a wanted person.
Officials searched for 27-year-old Cole Libby at a home on School Ridge Road in Liberty. Libby, who is wanted in multiple counties, had around 50 grams of fentanyl, officials say.
The drugs were just part of the haul police found inside the home. Officials found several firearms, as well as drug scales and around $8,500 in believed drug proceeds.
Authorities say two convicted felons were also inside Libby's home at the time: 28-year-old Felichia Glidden and 56-year-old Randall Smith.
Officials said Glidden had methamphetamines and prescription drugs, while Smith is accused of having methamphetamine, $1,700 in drug proceeds and two pistols.
A cannon and a side-by-side all-terrain vehicle were among the numerous "high-value" stolen items found in the home, officials said.
Libby, Glidden and Smith are facing a multitude of charges.
Authorities are asking those who may know who owns the cannon to contact them at 207-624-7076 and ask for Cpl.

VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Wheaton Precious Metals™ Corp. ("Wheaton" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has declared its third quarterly cash dividend payment for 2022 of US$0.15 per common share.
The third quarterly cash dividend for 2022 of US$0.15 will be paid to holders of record of Wheaton common shares as of the close of business on August 26, 2022 and will be distributed on or about September 8, 2022. The ex-dividend trading date is August 25th, 2022.
Under the Company's revised dividend policy, for the 2022 calendar year, the quarterly dividend per common share is targeted to equal the greater of 30% of the average cash generated by operating activities in the previous four quarters divided by the Company's then outstanding common shares, all rounded to the nearest cent and the dividend declared in the prior quarter. To minimize volatility in quarterly dividends, the Company has set a minimum quarterly dividend for the duration of 2022 equal to the dividend per common share declared in the prior quarter.
The declaration, timing, amount and payment of future dividends remain at the discretion of the Board of Directors. This dividend qualifies as an 'eligible dividend' for Canadian income tax purposes.
The Company has previously implemented a Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("DRIP"). Participation in the DRIP is optional. For the purposes of this quarterly dividend, the Company has elected to issue common shares under the DRIP through treasury at a 1% discount to the Average Market Price, as defined in the DRIP. However, the Company may, from time to time, in its discretion, change or eliminate the discount applicable to Treasury Acquisitions, as defined in the DRIP, or direct that such common shares be purchased in Market Acquisitions, as defined in the DRIP, at the prevailing market price, any of which would be publicly announced.
The DRIP and enrollment forms, including direct deposit, are available for download on the Company's website at www.wheatonpm.com, in the 'investors' section under the 'dividends' tab.
Registered shareholders may also enroll in the DRIP online through the plan agent's self-service web portal at: https://tsxtrust.com/DRIP
Beneficial shareholders should contact their financial intermediary to arrange enrollment. All shareholders considering enrollment in the DRIP should carefully review the terms of the DRIP and consult with their advisors as to the implications of enrollment in the DRIP.
This press release is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer of securities. A registration statement relating to the DRIP has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and may be obtained under the Company's profile on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's website at http://www.sec.gov. A written copy of the prospectus included in the registration statement may be obtained by contacting the Corporate Secretary of the Company at 1021 West Hastings Street, Suite 3500, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6E 0C3.
This press release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation concerning the business, operations and financial performance of Wheaton. Forward-looking statements, which are all statements other than statements of historical fact, include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to future dividends. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements of Wheaton to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements including risks discussed in the section entitled "Description of the Business – Risk Factors" in Wheaton's Annual Information Form available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and Wheaton's Form 40-F for the year ended December 31, 2021 and Form 6-K filed March 31, 2022 both on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on EDGAR. Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions management currently believes to be reasonable, including (without limitation) that there will be no material adverse change in the market price of commodities, that the mining operations from which Wheaton purchases precious metals will continue to operate, that each party will satisfy their obligations in accordance with the precious metals purchase agreements, that neither Wheaton nor the Mining Operations will suffer significant impacts as a result of an epidemic (including the COVID-19 virus pandemic) and that Wheaton's application of the CRA Settlement for years subsequent to 2010 is accurate (including the Company's assessment that there will be no material change in the Company's facts or change in law or jurisprudence for years subsequent to 2010) and possible domestic audits for taxation years subsequent to 2016 and international audits.

EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has tested positive for COVID-19 and will not play this weekend in the team's first preseason game.
Coach Kevin O'Connell confirmed the diagnosis Friday at practice, where Cousins was absent for a second straight day. He felt ill Thursday and sent home.
“I like the way he handled it, reporting the symptoms and going through our in-house process we have here,” O'Connell said. "Ultimately looking out for his teammates and making sure we’ll get him back, ready to roll as soon as possible.”
Cousins has “very minimal” symptoms, O'Connell said.
Sean Mannion and Kellen Mond will split time in the exhibition Sunday at Las Vegas, where Cousins was unlikely to play much, if at all, even if he wasn't sick. There are no other quarterbacks on the roster.
“No matter who starts, they’re both going to play a ton. Big evaluation game for us of those guys,” O'Connell said. "They’ve done a lot of really good things in camp, and now we get to see them play against a complete defensive structure, different coverages. I think it’ll be good for those guys.”
The Vikings are planning, roughly, an even split of the snaps against the Raiders.
“If a guy gets hot, starts feeling maybe he should take one more or two-minute or something like that, we’ll always adapt," O'Connell said. "But we’ll have plenty of snaps to make it right through these next three games.”
Cousins missed Minnesota's second-to-last game of the 2021 season after testing positive for COVID-19. He also missed five days in training camp last year due to what was deemed a close contact. Cousins followed NFL protocols for unvaccinated players last season.
Earlier this year, the league suspended all coronavirus protocols. The current recommendation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is for people who test positive to isolate from others for at least five days. Isolation can end, the CDC says, if they are fever-free for 24 hours without medication and experiencing improvement in symptoms.
The Vikings' next practice is Tuesday, putting Cousins on track to return to the field then, assuming he's feeling fine.

Gov. Edwards Honors Louisiana Veterans in Visit to D-Day Battlefields in Normandy as Economic and Resilience Mission Winds Down
NORMANDY, France – Gov. John Bel Edwards begins the final leg of his weeklong economic and resilience mission, visiting hallowed World War II battlegrounds and paying tribute to Louisiana’s military veterans. Among the battle sites the governor will visit are the crossroads town of Sainte-Mère-Église, the D-Day landing zone at Utah Beach, and Pointe du Hoc, where an imposing cliff was scaled by Army Rangers in search of a German gun battery.
The mission will conclude Saturday with a trip to Omaha Beach, scene of some of D-Day’s most intense fighting. At the Normandy American Cemetery, Gov. Edwards will lay a wreath at the grave of one of the soldiers from Louisiana who was killed in action during the Battle of Normandy. After a brief ceremony, the delegation will visit the graves of other Louisiana servicemen buried there.
“It is a humbling experience to retrace the footsteps of brave soldiers who did their duty, confronted tyranny and, in many cases, made the ultimate sacrifice in the cause of freedom,” Gov. Edwards said. “I am honored to represent all Louisianans here in Normandy as we salute those members of the U.S. military and their allies whose courageous actions secured the blessings of liberty that we continue to enjoy today.”
Thursday, Gov. Edwards visited the Pegasus Bridge where the first shots of the D-Day invasion were fired and recalled Louisiana’s unique contributions to the invasion at Normandy. On June 6, 1944, tens of thousands of Allied soldiers secured a strategic beachfront foothold after being put ashore by shallow-draft “Higgins boats” manufactured in New Orleans shipyards. That epic battle helped turn the tide of the war in Europe.
Fifty-six years later to the day – on June 6, 2000 – what is now the National World War II Museum opened in New Orleans. Today, the museum is an important economic driver for Louisiana, with annual revenue of more than $70 million in 2021 and support for more than 400 direct and indirect jobs. Walter J. Leger III, executive vice-president and general counsel of New Orleans & Company, accompanied the Louisiana delegation to Normandy and joined Gov. Edwards in raising awareness about the massive museum expansion and $400 million capital campaign currently underway.
“New Orleans is celebrated around the world as a center of creativity and innovation, and this mission has allowed us to promote visitorship to Louisiana, to renew our bond of friendship and economic partnership with the people of France, and to promote what is one of the leading museums in America,” Leger said. “With the ongoing development of unforgettable exhibits and technological marvels, the National World War II Museum continues to be a source of great pride for the city, the state, and the country. We appreciate the opportunity to partner with Gov. Edwards to shine a light on this extraordinary New Orleans institution in the global marketplace.” | https://www.stl.news/louisiana-governor-edwards-honors-veterans/536805/ | 2022-08-12T18:55:27Z | https://www.stl.news/louisiana-governor-edwards-honors-veterans/536805/ | false | 1 |

On Thursday evening, Ridge Meadows Search and Rescue saved a lone hiker who was lost in the mountains in Golden Ears Provincial Park.
Search team spokesperson Rick Laing said the hiker, a middle-aged woman, had summitted on the Golden Ears Mountains, but got lost on her way back. She made a wrong turn down a gully, and become stranded in the Alouette Valley between Golden Ears and Edge Peak.
The hiker was fortunately able to get cell phone reception, which is unreliable in the park, and called 9-1-1. The RCMP’s Air 1 helicopter was in the area, and located and spoke to the hiker. However, they were unable to transport her off the mountain, said Laing.
The RMSAR rescue team was called in to safely evacuate the hiker, with the assistance of Talon Helicopters.

Laing noted there is no trail, and the route up Golden Ears is not always well defined. Hikers should pay close attention on the climb up, looking back to familiarize themselves with the way back. The route is marked in places with splashes of paint, but they can be missed.
“Coming off the summit, if you’re not paying attention, it’s very easy to lose the path,” he said.
In this case, the hiker made the right choice of stopping and calling for help when they realized they were lost.
The woman called at approximately 6 p.m., and was off the mountain at about 8:30 p.m.
Laing said hikers should ensure they have navigation aids, including a map and compass at a minimum, and know the route they are going to take. They should plan for the possibility of an emergency overnight stay, with extra food and water, an emergency blanket, fire making kit and flashlight.
“As soon as the sun goes down, it gets cold up there,” he said.
If not for the successful call for help, she would have faced a cold night on the mountain, he said.
Telling someone where you are going, and when you plan to return, is critical.
Laing refers hikers to the adventuresmart.ca website as a resource for planning activities in the back country.

Rampaging Kyrgios on a mission to shed 'wasted talent' tag
Tired of being branded a wasted talent, Nick Kyrgios hopes his "amazing tennis" will get the critics off his back so they might give him space to relax off court and not condemn him for enjoying a beer at a pub.
A day after stunning world number one Daniil Medvedev, Kyrgios steamrolled compatriot Alex de Minaur 6-2 6-3 at the Canadian Masters on Thursday to notch his 15th win from 16 matches.
The fiery Wimbledon finalist has often struggled to stay motivated but now hopes to keep his hot streak alive ahead of next month's U.S. Open.
"I'm doing this for a lot of people. (I) want to prove to myself that I can still play some amazing tennis," the 27-year-old Australian told reporters.
"I'm doing it for a lot of people just so I can have a bit of peace and quiet, I can actually rest at nighttime.
"I feel like, compared to other players I deal with a lot of shit, negativity, bad media, bad articles, this, that, wasted talent, whatever.
"So I feel like when it's all said and done, if I continue to play like this for a little bit, prove people wrong, I can just relax a little bit.
"Like, have a beer at a pub, not get bothered about it."
Famous for his explosive tantrums and conduct violations, Kyrgios said the media had judged him based on the "2%" of his life on court.
"You guys kind of painted me to be this horrific person for like five years," he added.
"But now I feel like it just kind of washed away. The true colours came through.
"Hopefully I'm inspiring millions of people to just go about their life or their sport or their career as they want to and be comfortable in their own skin."
He said he no longer cared what people thought of him on court but drew the line when fans yelled "racial slurs" at him.
"When they cross that line, then that's when I start to get -- that's when I'll probably talk back a little bit," he said.
He added that he was a strong believer in the need to be two different people to be a successful athlete.
"You can't be a super nice guy, a generous guy all the time on the court, otherwise I'd be terrible at the game.
"Tennis players have to be selfish. You have to walk around like you're the best player in the world. You have to have that mentality."
Having now earned a seeding at the U.S. Open, Kyrgios will next face Polish world number 10 Hubert Hurkacz, who he lost to at Halle in June.
While praising Hurkacz as a great player, Kyrgios said he felt his own opponents were a bit nervous seeing his form.

Addis Ababa says the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), a $4bn hydropower project, is crucial to powering its economic development, but Egypt and Sudan consider it a serious threat to their vital water supplies.
Long-running diplomatic efforts to resolve the dispute between the three countries have yielded little success.
Ethiopia sees the GERD as the centrepiece of its bid to become Africa's biggest power exporter, with a projected capacity of more than 6,000 megawatts.
"Prime minister Abiy Ahmed announced the successful completion of the GERD's third filling," the prime minister's office said on Twitter, adding that Ethiopia was working "to ensure the benefits of the lower basin countries".
Abiy held a ceremony officially turning on the dam's second turbine on Thursday, six months after the first came online. Photographs shared by Abiy's office showed him standing at a podium in front of a huge plume of water being discharged from the front of the dam.

Major Fail: Kim Kardashian Tried To Be Just Like Us But It Didn't Work
Aug. 12 2022, Published 12:24 p.m. ET
Kim Kardashian is embracing single life in full force — well, at least she's trying!
The SKIMS founder, 41, kicked off the next chapter of her life at sister Kylie Jenner's 25th birthday bash with a seemingly out of character move.
As seen in a recap posted to TikTok of Jenner's special night with her gal pals on a perfectly decorated yacht, Kardashian can be heard saying off camera, "Does anybody have a shot I can take," which received an overwhelming amount of support as the ladies screamed and cheered her on.
DOWNCAST PETE DAVIDSON SPOTTED OUT FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE KANYE WEST'S BRUTAL SOCIAL MEDIA ATTACK
"Yes," the birthday beauty shouts as the camera pans over to the smiling 41-year-old, who recently called it quits with boyfriend-of-nine-months Pete Davidson. After Jenner unwraps a lavish gift with a rare $100,000 Hermès Birkin bag inside while surrounded by the famous family's youngsters, the Kylie Cosmetics founder and her birthday crew cheers and take down a shot.
Unfortunately for Kardashian, the liquor didn't go down smoothly. After taking the shot with the ladies, the blonde beauty makes a disgusted face before spitting it back into her cocktail glass.
"So f**king nasty," she exclaims while coughing.
Momager Kris Jenner and sister Kendall Jenner were also in attendance for the mama-of-two's special night, which included fireworks and rounds of cocktails.
Despite her recent split from the Saturday Night Live alum — shocking news that was announced last Friday, August 5, though they apparently split weeks prior — Kardashian appears to be in good spirits. Celebrating her little sister, Kardashian managed to smile ear-to-ear, though there is still plenty of drama going on in her life back home.
Kardashian was reportedly left fuming earlier this week when ex-husband Kanye West returned to Instagram to troll Davidson following news of their breakup. Posting a doctored newspaper cover that read “SKETE DAVIDSON DEAD AT AGE 28" to celebrate the Hollywood couple's end, West made his thoughts on their romance clear, not that he didn't do so in the past.
OK! reported West had been publicly trolling both Kardashian and Davidson for months, going so far as to claim the mother of his children was keeping their brood from him and that he was worried the comedian would get his ex hooked on drugs. But West didn't stop there — and neither did his army of fans.
Aside from West making a diss track in which he raps he wanted to "beat Pete Davidson a**," which was accompanied by a vicious music video featuring an animated version of the 28-year-old being buried alive, The King of Staten Island star has also been dealing with "death threats from [Kanye’s] fans."

"All the negative attention online doesn’t feel good for the average person — add someone who’s struggled with mental illness, and it’s even worse," noted a source.
Davidson has reportedly sought out trauma therapy to deal with West's public attacks and constant bullying.

Tungnath Chaturvedi says his case should send the message that "one doesn't need to give up even when the fight looks tough." Critics say it's a prime example of why India's court system is so clogged. After 22 years and more than 100 hearings, Chaturvedi has been refunded the 20 rupees—25 cents—he was overcharged by when he bought a train ticket in 1999, the BBC reports. He was also awarded interest, which brought it up to around $3.50, per Metro.
Chaturvedi, a 66-year-old lawyer, took North Eastern Railway, a section of state-owned rail monopoly Indian Railways, to court after he bought two 35-rupee tickets in his hometown of Mathura in Uttar Pradesh and only received 10 rupees in change. The judgment also ordered the rail company to pay him a fine of 15,000 rupees, around $188. He represented himself in court, but the long battle still cost him more than 20,000 rupees in fees, along with hundreds of hours of his time, AFP reports. "You can't put a price on the energy and time I've lost fighting this case," he said Friday.
Chaturvedi said family and friends told him he was wasting his time and urged him to drop the case, but he was determined to fight to the end. The rail company was apparently equally determined to battle it out in court instead of coughing up 20 rupees. "This wasn’t about money but about my rights," Chaturvedi told AFP. "As a citizen, it’s my right to question the arbitrary and corrupt practices of the state or its machinery."

The polio virus has been found in New York City sewage, but officials are stressing that the highest risk is for people who haven’t been vaccinated.
Polio was once one of the nation’s most feared diseases, with annual outbreaks causing thousands of cases of paralysis. Its elimination in the U.S., officially declared in 1979, is considered one of the nation’s greatest public health victories. Yet cases have cropped up occasionally since then, often among people who had traveled to other countries.
Recently, an unvaccinated young adult north of New York City contracted polio. On Friday, health officials in the nation’s largest city said they had found the virus in wastewater samples, suggesting it was spreading among the unvaccinated.
Here are some details on polio and the vaccine:
HOW DOES POLIO SPREAD?
Polio is considered very contagious and spreads mostly from person to person, through contaminated water and via fecal particles.
Health officials say the virus also can spread through droplets from an infected person’s cough or sneeze, though that is less common.
WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS?
Most infected people have no visible symptoms. About a quarter will endure a few days of flu-like symptoms, such as fever, sore throat, headache and nausea.
A small fraction of people, however, can get more serious illness. The virus can infect a person’s spinal cord, causing paralysis and possibly permanent disability and death.
AREN’T MOST AMERICANS VACCINATED AGAINST POLIO?
Yes.
U.S. children are still routinely vaccinated against polio and the shots are considered to be highly effective. Federal officials recommend four doses: to be given at 2 months of age; 4 months; at 6 to 18 months; and at age 4 through 6 years. Some states require only three doses.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s most recent data, about 93% of 2-year-olds had received at least three doses of polio vaccine.
IF I AM VACCINATED AGAINST POLIO, DO I NEED TO DO ANYTHING?
For most people, no.
Adults who were fully vaccinated as children have protective antibodies in their blood for decades, according to the CDC. In a nationwide study of adults aged 40-49 about a decade ago, around 90% had protective antibodies to the virus.
That said, health officials previously have recommended boosters in some cases, like for adults who are at increased risk of coming in contact with the polio virus because of their travel or work.
WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I AM UNVACCINATED?
Health officials recommend that unvaccinated people get the shots. In New York, clinics have been set up to make the vaccines available.
People who are unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated are at greatest risk of paralysis from polio. The person in Rockland County who was diagnosed with paralytic polio was unvaccinated.

Hyderabad: The Jeedimetla police have concluded that the LPG cylinder explosion incident in which two migrant workers died last month was a pre-planned murder and arrested Bhuneshwar Singh of Jharkhand in connection with the case. An argument over not allowing the suspect to return to his native place was the reason, police said.
The victims Ibaadat Ansari (25) and Beerender Kumar (35), both natives of Jharkhand, along with nine other workers had migrated to the city to work. However, only some of them got work in a firm in Jeedimetla, while Bhuneshwar and others remained without work.
According to the police, Bhuneshwar who was unhappy over not finding work, wanted to return to his native place, but Beerender Kumar opposed his decision and forced him to stay back.
On July 26, they are suspected to have argued over the same issue, after which Bhuneshwar attacked the victims with a stick and killed them. After killing them, Bhuneshwar wanted to kill himself too and opened the LPG regulator and lit a matchstick.
“However, he was scared of the fire and escaped by jumping through the window,” police said, adding that Singh was arrested from his native place. | https://telanganatoday.com/hyderabad-police-crack-jeedimetla-lpg-explosion-case-arrest-suspect | 2022-08-12T19:19:33Z | https://telanganatoday.com/hyderabad-police-crack-jeedimetla-lpg-explosion-case-arrest-suspect | true | 1 |

China's biggest electric-car battery maker said Friday that it plans to build a second battery factory in Europe, as the company doubles down overseas to gain ground in the booming electric-vehicle market.
Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. will invest up to 7.34 billion euros ($7.58 billion) in the factory in Hungary, the company said in a filing.
The plant is designed to have a capacity of 100 gigawatt hours, seven times that of its first plant in Germany, CATL said.
Located in central Europe, the new plant would enhance CATL's capability to supply European car makers such as Mercedes-Benz Group AG, Bayerische Motoren Werke AG, Stellantis N.V. and Volkswagen AG, CATL said in a separate statement.
The company plans to start building the plant this year and expects to complete the project in 64 months, it said.
Meanwhile, Mercedes-Benz said Friday that it is expanding its supply agreement with CATL.
The German car maker said the battery supplier's new factory in Hungary will supply battery cells for next-generation Mercedes-Benz models. The agreement builds on a partnership first announced in 2020, Mercedes-Benz said.
European car makers have stepped up efforts over the past two years to shift to electric models, in order to meet tougher restrictions in the region on greenhouse-gas emissions. Incentives have also driven the industry to make more electric cars and drive consumer demand.
Last year, EV sales in Europe rose 65% from a year ago to 2.3 million vehicles, according to the International Energy Agency.
In 2018, CATL invested around $1.9 billion to build its first overseas plant in Germany. The company in April received government approval for manufacturing there after a year's delay caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. It plans to roll out batteries from the German plant by the end of this year.

NINGBO, China, Aug. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Risen Energy, a leading solar module manufacturer in China, announced that the company's 210mm 700W heterojunction (HJT) lineup – Hyper-ion series – has been tested and certified by TÜV SÜD, a global provider of testing, inspection and certification services, making it the first company around the world to be granted TÜV SÜD certification for its 210mm high-efficiency HJT product with ultra-thin wafer.
"The introduction of Risen Energy's Hyper-ion series marks another giant stride in the evolution of solar technology. The Hyper-ion series provides a solution to meet the rising demand of high efficiency and large wafer PV modules for solar plants," said Zhulin Zhang, Operation Director and Chief Technical Certifier of TÜV SÜD Smart Energy.
"Certification of the 700W solar module assures customers that performance, safety, reliability, and cost of the product meet the challenges in the solar sector, further reducing the cost while boosting the power generation."
"We're proud to be the first manufacturer to obtain this important certification. This is the result of two years of unremitting efforts by Risen Energy's R&D team. During this period, we overcame a lot of technical challenges to achieve this critical innovation breakthrough for the solar industry," said Yafeng Liu, Senior Director of R&D at Risen Energy.
"The TÜV SÜD certification validates the superior performance, stability, reliability and safety of the Hyper-ion series, which features ultra-thin 210mm silicon wafers, 24-busbar design, alloy steel frame, as well as a number of Risen Energy's patented designs and technologies. With its industry-leading advantages, we believed this product will help solar systems to achieve ultra-low CO2 emissions, reduce the overall costs and improve returns for investors, making a significant contribution to a long-term reliable and affordable power supply."
By gaining the certification compliant with IEC 61215 and IEC 61730, Risen Energy's 210mm HJT Hyper-ion series enriches the company's high-efficiency and high-power product portfolios and enables the company to better meet the needs of regional markets for solar modules with higher efficiency.

HIGH POINT, N.C. (WGHP) — Monkeypox cases are increasing across the United States and including here in North Carolina.
The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services has provided data on how many cases of monkeypox have been confirmed in the state so far, along with other essential resources in order to combat the spread of the painful disease.
NCDHHS monkeypox state report shows 131 cases as of Thursday
North Carolina’s first case was identified on June 23, 2022, and as of August 11, there are 131 cases across the state.
The highest case count is concentrated in Mecklenberg County, the only red county on the map, with more than 15 reported cases. Buncombe, Durham, Guilford and Wake Counties are all dark orange, meaning they have between three and 14 cases. The yellow counties are counties with one or two known cases. In the Triad, there are have been cases in Caswell, Randolph, Davidson and Montgomery Counties.
What is Monkeypox?
Monkeypox is a virus that causes flu-like symptoms and a painful rash. It's in the same family of illnesses as smallpox, though it's not nearly as severe as smallpox. It is considered a "zoonotic" disease, meaning it's a disease that can spread from animals to human beings. Despite the name, the primary vector of monkeypox transmission is rodents, but non-human primates transmit it as well.
Monkeypox usually lasts two to four weeks, according to the WHO.
The incubation period of monkeypox is usually from 6 to 13 days, with the first part of the illness characterized by fever, headache, swollen lymph nodes, fatigue and muscle aches. The rash comes in within a few days of the fever, with the blisters concentrated on the face and the extremities.
Children and those with underlying immune deficiencies can have more severe symptoms from monkeypox.
Complications of monkeypox can include secondary infections, sepsis, encephalitis, and eye infections.
Fatality is between three and six percent.
How is it spread?
Monkeypox can be spread to anyone through close contact. Primarily this is through direct skin-to-skin contact with someone who has been infected with monkeypox, but contact with items that have been used by someone who is infected or prolonged exposure to respiratory droplets can also spread it.
Currently, the spread of monkeypox in the United States is primarily impacting gay and bisexual men. However, despite this current concentration, monkeypox is not exclusively spread through sexual contact and is not exclusive to the gay community.
Where can I get tested?
You can contact your primary care provider or local health department for testing information, the DHHS says.
"There is no shortage of testing supplies," according to the DHHS website. "Samples must be collected by a health care professional, and they must follow a specific procedure to collect a good sample for testing. NCDHHS recommends providers test any patient with a suspicious lesion or sore."
Where can I get vaccinated?
The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services has provided a list of health departments in North Carolina that can provide vaccinations to people who are eligible. | https://www.wnct.com/on-your-side/health-watch/interactive-map-how-many-monkeypox-cases-are-in-north-carolina/ | 2022-08-12T19:39:34Z | https://www.wnct.com/on-your-side/health-watch/interactive-map-how-many-monkeypox-cases-are-in-north-carolina/ | false | 7 |

After being handed a secondhand guitar from her dad when she was 17, British indie rocker beabadoobee (born Beatrice Laus) has been on an upward trajectory.
Coffee literally the first song she ever wrote, went viral and lifted Laus from bedroom strummer to Gen Z guitar hero. A succession of EPs soon followed, and her debut album, Fake It Flowers, appeared in 2020. Along the way, she’s racked up live performances at Coachella, Jimmy Kimmel Live, the 2020 Rising Star Session at Abbey Road and more.
Her sophomore effort, Beatopia, sees the 21-year-old Laus throwing out the rule book and delving into psychedelia, emo, fuzzy rock and pop. “I just felt like there were no more rules. I wanted to do everything I could,” she says. “We just wanted – depending on the song – to capture the vibe of what we were trying to create with the way the guitar sounded. So I explored a lot of weird, strange ways of recording the music.”
Much of Laus’ sonic palette is heavily infused with the spirit of Nineties grunge. “It’s part of my vocabulary,” she says. “It’s within my world and personality, and it almost threads its way into my music without me even realizing. It’s subconscious because I listened to so many bands from that era. Especially with Fake It Flowers, I was listening to a lot of My Bloody Valentine – and it just kind of happened.”
Teaching herself guitar from YouTube videos – with a playlist rich in My Bloody Valentine, Sonic Youth and Elliot Smith – led her to experiment with alternate tunings.
“We’ve been trying to limit the amount of guitar changes on stage – because I have too much,” she says. “But with some songs, you really can’t duplicate the sound because of how open the strings are.
“There’s such a specific sound with tunings, so you need another guitar for that specific tuning. It will change the whole song, essentially, if I play in standard when it’s supposed to be in some weird emo tuning I found on YouTube… We have a very big guitar rig. It’s a hard job for the guitar tech.”
Laus firmly believes it’s these unique tunings that underpin her songs. “It isn’t necessarily the right way of playing,” she says, “but, what I find is, because I’m not a very strong guitar player, I’ll tune my guitar to a lot of tunings, and it helps create a really pretty sound. So most of the songs on this record are in different tunings.”
Unlike her tunings, however, Laus plays it straight – as in pretty much straight into the guitar amp. “I play through a Marshall and don’t have many effects… My guitarist, Jacob [Bugden], has all the crazy, crazy, crazy, pedals, but I like to keep mine plain and simple.”

There was more good news Friday for inflation, as import prices fell more than expected and brought some much-needed relief for consumers.
The report capped off a relatively upbeat week for those worried about rising prices — and "relatively" is the operative word — as the U.S. is on pace this year to import just over $4 trillion of goods and services this year, according to the latest Bureau of Economic Analysis data.
With Americans already paying huge bills for food, energy and a host of other items in their daily lives, any respite is a welcome one. After all, the monthly import price drop of 1.4% was just the first this year, and the year-over-year increase is still more than 8.8%.
That news followed reports earlier in the week that both wholesale and retail price increases abated for the month. Producer prices declined 0.5%, and consumer prices including food and fuel were flat, both numbers owing largely to a sharp slide in most of the energy complex.
People are noticing: A New York Federal Reserve survey released Monday showed consumers are expecting inflation to stay high but not by as much as previous months. On Friday, the University of Michigan consumer sentiment survey — whose ups and downs tend to ride in tandem with prices at the pump — was higher than expected, though still just off record-low levels hit in June.
'This is just one report'
Taken together, the numbers are reason for at least a little optimism. But it's probably wise to put exuberance on hold.
The consumer price index is still up 8.5% from a year ago, while the producer price index has surged 9.8% during the same period.
Krishna Guha, who heads global policy and central bank strategy for Evercore ISI, cautioned in a client note on CPI that, "while the report is consistent with the notion that inflation pressures may finally have peaked, this is just one report."
Similar comments came Friday from Richmond Federal Reserve President Thomas Barkin. The central bank official told CNBC that the inflation news was "very welcome," but added that he didn't see any reason to pull back on the interest rate increases that some economists fear will drag the U.S. into a recession.
"There is a very long way to go before the Fed will feel it has sufficient compelling evidence that inflation is moderating to stop raising rates," Guha added.
The Fed and investors will get a look next week at how much of an impact inflation has made on spending.
View from the consumer
The Wednesday advance report from the Commerce Department is expected to show a modest 0.2% headline gain for July in retail sales after a 1% increase in June, according to FactSet. The report is not adjusted for inflation.
However, there is a wide range of opinion on where the numbers could land.
Citigroup said its credit card data show a potential 1.1% decline for the month, while Bank of America said it sees a 0.2% decrease, though control group spending — excluding a variety of volatile categories — may have risen 0.9%.
Fed officials will be watching closely to see larger trends in how inflation is impacting Main Street.
"It does appear that a tentative peak in inflation is in place," said Joseph Brusuelas, chief economist at RSM.
However, he said this week's numbers are likely to do little to sway a Fed intent on stomping inflation down to the central bank's 2% target.
"I think that the July inflation does nothing to alter the path of Fed policy, and any notion that a Fed pivot is at hand should be dismissed," he said. "We are some months away from any potential clear and convincing evidence that inflation is well on its way back to the 2% target that currently defines price stability." | https://www.cnbc.com/2022/08/12/this-was-a-good-week-for-inflation-numbers-but-whether-it-can-last-is-the-big-question.html | 2022-08-12T19:41:50Z | https://www.cnbc.com/2022/08/12/this-was-a-good-week-for-inflation-numbers-but-whether-it-can-last-is-the-big-question.html | true | 2 |

Employer overreach
A professor forced to quit over her swimsuit-clad social media pictures kindles a debate over interference of employers into workers’ private lives
I love my alma mater; I really do. One might even say that I consider it as the true starting point of my life and career. I respect the motto 'Nihil Ultra'; the Latin phrase meaning 'Nothing Beyond' that has propelled my life as it meandered through its various milestones taking both the ups and downs as par for the course. There is a sense of pride at belonging to an alumnus that boasts of some of the best minds of India and a community of high achievers from various spheres. I always remember St. Xavier's College, and now autonomous University, with fondness. But this week has been an embarrassment to most Xaverians; a row created over a matter that should have been nipped in the bud. An assistant professor was allegedly coerced to resign for posting swimsuit pictures on her private Instagram, and then slapped with a lawsuit by the university that has sought Rs 99 crores in damages. The matter that has been brewing since October last year has only since been brought to light after the professor sent a legal notice to the university in March seeking her reinstatement and apology.
There are so many reasons to feel affronted by this case. As a woman, I feel distressed hearing about the slut-shaming that the professor had to endure in front of her peers and other unknown individuals. A Spanish Inquisition for wearing a bikini?! Her pictures were taken from a time well before she even joined the university and have been clearly screenshot from a private account. This raises the important issue of violation of privacy. That a student or parent, and in this case, both, were judging the pictures of an individual is disgusting; but to make their discomfiture the basis of a formal complaint against a professor is untenable. I can't help but feel sorry for the 18-year-old kid and the life he's had to bear, left at the mercy of parents who complain about a professor's attire rather than focus on her work. If the young fellow was gawking at the photos, it could mean many things — he's come of age, needs to be told to respect women even if he was fantasizing about them, and the situation perhaps called for a father-son adult chat; not hang out the professor to dry! All of these were reason enough for the university to quash this complaint the moment it came to them. Not print out the pictures without the professor's permission, circulate it among its staff, and then launch a witch-hunt.
During our times studying at the college, we have had our fair share of sanctimonious Jesuit priest teaching staff who have chastised the female students for wearing sleeveless tops to the campus. A strict, almost regressive dress code, has always been followed on campus for men and women. But to think they would now overreach and intrude into an individual's personal life off-campus (in my mind whether her Instagram account was private or public should be of no consequence) to bludgeon their career prospects is appalling. An institute, company, or organisation has no right to harass an employee for dressing, speaking, or behaving in a certain way outside of work premises, unless it disrupts the law and order of the land or besmirches the reputation of the employer. Today, a professor was allegedly compelled to leave, tomorrow an individual with different sexual preferences may also be given the same treatment. And it doesn't matter if the person wasn't technically fired. Making them feel harassed, insulted, sexually objectified, and treated unprofessionally creates a toxic work environment that's enough for any self-respecting person to quit.
Who has the right to decide what an adult does in their own life is right or wrong as long as it's legal? Where are the freedoms that we speak of? The rights that are taught in the hallowed corridors of still-independent educational institutes? Where young minds are lessoned to question and nurture a curious mind...where is that institute now? This is not the college I knew. And as I understand the alumnus is on its way to correct this injustice. But the situation, as bizarre as it may be, begets the question — how much can the authorities/state interfere in an individual's personal life? And how much ground are we prepared to concede?
Censoring individuals on social media started long ago in India. It became taboo to criticize governments and politicians; journalists in some media houses were issued a whip to only post kosher comments. Arresting people for their thoughts on social media has become so commonplace that many governments have done it.
Obviously, this week's write-up is a personal one for me. Think of how you'd feel to see your beloved hero fail or have an icon fall from grace. While I firmly believe that this brouhaha will die down and justice will be meted out; I can't help but feel gutted and ashamed. There is a video on the St. Xavier's University YouTube channel. Though uploaded 3 years ago, with its Star Wars-like opening crawl easily seems from the 80s or 90s. It goes on to explain that 'Nihil Ultra' means 'without limit', 'infinite', 'unending', and reflects "the spirit of our lives, the rhythm of our Universe, the refrain of our times, because 'Nihil Ultra' also means development, advancement, betterment." The Vice Chancellor sure needs a refresher course and this video would be a great place to start in the 75th year of our Independence.

Gideon Moi trounced by UDA man in Baringo senate contest
Baringo Senator Gideon Moi has lost his seat to William Cheptumo of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA). The two-term Senator garnered 71,480 votes against Cheptumo’s 141,777.
In the governor race, former Benjamin Cheboi (UDA) beat incumbent Stanley Kiptis (Independent) to reclaim the seat he lost in 2017.
Cheboi got 137,486 votes as Mr Kiptis came a distant third with 17,646. Moses Lessonet was second with 60,879 votes.
The Kanu Chairman’s defeat came as UDA stamped its authority in Rift Valley sweeping key elective positions despite facing stiff competition from independent candidates and those from Azimio la Umoja – One Kenya Coalition.
In the North Rift, the Deputy President William Ruto – led party swept the parliamentary and civic seats and had taken a comfortable lead in all the top three county seats of woman rep, senator and governor, with the winners flooring seasoned politicians.
UDA clinched five constituencies in Senator Moi’s Baringo County, save for Tiaty where incumbent William Kamket retained the seat on the party’s ticket.
The UDA wave was also dented in Elgeyo-Marakwet County by two independents – Timothy Toroitich won in Marakwet West while Caroline Ngelechei was on course to take the woman rep seat.
In Nandi County, only one out of the six legislators retained his seat on a UDA ticket. The rest, who contested as independents, were floored by newcomers from UDA.
Tinderet MP Julius Melly (UDA) was re-elected for the third time, while former DP Ruto’s Chief of Staff Maryanne Keitany won the Aldai parliamentary seat.
Some of the new entrants who won parliamentary seats in Nandi under UDA include Joses Lelmengit (Emgwen), Abraham Kirwa (Mosop) Paul Biego (Chesumei) and Bernard Kitur (Nandi Hills).
Governor Stephen Sang and Senator Samson Cherargei were on course to retain their seats on UDA tickets. | https://nairobinews.nation.africa/gideon-moi-trounced-by-uda-man-in-baringo-senate-contest/ | 2022-08-12T19:44:43Z | https://nairobinews.nation.africa/gideon-moi-trounced-by-uda-man-in-baringo-senate-contest/ | true | 1 |

KARACHI, Pakistan (AP) — Pakistani authorities on Friday revoked a broadcast permit for a private television station after it was taken off air following an interview during which an opposition party official allegedly incited troops and officers against the military leadership.
The development came after ARY TV in the southern port city of Karachi on Monday aired the interview with Shahbaz Gill, a close aide of former Prime Minister Imran Khan and the chief of staff for his Tehreek-e-Insaf opposition party.
In the interview, Gill urged Pakistani troops and officers to refuse to obey “illegal orders” from the military — remarks that were seen by authorities as incitement to revolt. He was subsequently arrested on treason charges and could face the death penalty.
The TV station’s news director, Ammad Yousaf, was detained following the interview but then released on Thursday, after an outcry from a media watchdog, rights defenders and top opposition leaders.
ARY has distanced itself from Gill’s remarks, stressing that it is not part of any campaign against the army. Still, Pakistan’s media regulatory took the station off air and on Friday suspended its license amid what it described as “adverse reports from agencies.”
The move drew condemnation from journalists and opposition leaders. ARY’s founder, Salman Iqbal, also denounced the suspension.
Asad Kaleem, an executive producer at ARY, told The Associated Press that the action means that 4,000 employees at the TV are now without work. He pleaded with the government to reverse its decision and bring the hugely popular ARY back on air.
Khan came to power in 2018, promising to break the pattern of family rule in Pakistan, but his opponents said he was elected with help from the powerful military, which has ruled the country for half of its 75-year history.
After his ouster in a no-confidence vote in Parliament in April, Khan has blamed army chief Gen. Qamar Javed Bajwa, claiming the general took part in an alleged U.S. plot to oust him. Washington, the Pakistani military and the government have denied the charge.

WASHINGTON — With inflation raging near its highest level in four decades, Congress is poised to approve President Joe Biden's signature Inflation Reduction Act. Its title raises a tantalizing question: Will the measure actually tame the price spikes that have inflicted hardships on American households?
Economic analyses of the proposal suggest that the answer is likely no — not anytime soon, anyway.
The legislation, which is headed for final approval Friday in the House and will then be signed into law, won't directly address some of the main drivers of surging prices — from gas and food to rents and restaurant meals.
Still, the bill could save money for some Americans by lessening the cost of prescription drugs for the elderly, extending health insurance subsidies and reducing energy prices. It would also modestly cut the government's budget deficit, which might slightly lower inflation by the end of this decade.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office concluded last week that the changes would have a “negligible” impact on inflation this year and next. And the University of Pennsylvania's Penn Wharton Budget Model concluded that, over the next decade, "the impact on inflation is statistically indistinguishable from zero.”
Such forecasts also undercut the arguments that some Republicans, such as House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy have made, that the bill would “cause inflation,” as McCarthy said in a speech on the House floor last month.
Biden himself, in speaking of the legislation's effect on inflation, has cautiously referred to potentially lower prices in individual categories rather than to lower inflation as a whole. This week, the president said the bill would “bring down the cost of prescription drugs, health insurance premiums and energy costs.”
At the same time, the White House has trumpeted a letter signed by more than 120 economists, including several Novel Prize winners and former Treasury secretaries, that asserts that the bill's reduction in the government's budget deficit — by an estimated $300 billion over the next decade, according to the CBO — would put “downward pressure on inflation.”
In theory, lower deficits can reduce inflation. That's because lower government spending or higher taxes, which help shrink the deficit, reduce demand in the economy, thereby easing pressure on companies to raise prices.
Jason Furman, a Harvard economist who served as a top economic adviser in the Obama administration, wrote in an opinion column for The Wall Street Journal: “Deficit reduction is almost always inflation-reducing.”
Yet Douglas Holtz-Eakin, who was a top economic adviser to President George W. Bush and later a director of the CBO, noted that the lower deficits won't kick in until five years from now and won't be very large over the next decade considering the size of the economy.
“$30 billion a year in a $21 trillion economy isn’t going to move the needle,” Holtz-Eakin said, referring to the estimated amount of deficit reduction spread over 10 years.
He also noted that Congress has recently passed other legislation to subsidize semiconductor production in the U.S. and expand veterans' health care, and suggested that those laws will spend more than the Inflation Reduction Act will save.
In addition, Kent Smetters, director of the Penn Wharton Budget Model, said the bill's health care subsidies could send inflation up. The legislation would spend $70 billion over a decade to extend tax credits to help 13 million Americans pay for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act.
Those subsidies would free up money for recipients to spend elsewhere, potentially increasing inflation, although Smetters said he thought the effect would likely be very small.
While the bill could have the benefit of increasing the savings of millions of households on pharmaceutical and energy costs, it’s unlikely to have much effect on overall inflation. Prescription drugs account for only 1% of the spending in the U.S. consumer price index; spending on electricity and natural gas makes up just 3.6%.
Starting in 2025, the act will cap the amount Medicare recipients would pay for their prescription drugs at $2,000 a year. It will authorize Medicare to negotiate the cost of some high-priced pharmaceuticals — a long-sought goal that President Donald Trump had also floated. It would also limit Medicare recipients' out-of-pocket costs for insulin at $35 a month. Insulin prescriptions averaged $54 in 2020, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.
“This is a historic change,” said Leigh Purvis, director of health care costs at the AARP Public Policy Institute. “This is allowing Medicare to protect beneficiaries from high drug prices in a way that was not there before.”
A study by Kaiser found that in 2019, 1.2 million Medicare recipients spent an average of $3,216 on drug prescriptions. Purvis said recipients who use the most expensive drugs can spend as much as $10,000 or $15,000 a year.
The legislation authorizes Medicare to negotiate prices of 10 expensive pharmaceuticals, starting next year, though the results won't take effect until 2026. Up to 60 drugs could be subject to negotiation by 2029.
Holtz-Eakin argued that while the provision may lower the cost of some Medicare drugs, it would discourage the development of new drugs or reduce new venture capital investment in start-up pharmaceutical companies.
The Inflation Reduction Act's energy provisions could also create savings, though the amounts are likely to be much smaller.
The bill will provide a $7,500 tax credit for new purchases of electric vehicles, though most EVs won't qualify because the legislation requires them to include batteries with U.S. materials.
And the legislation also significantly expands a tax credit for homeowners who invest in energy-efficient equipment, from a one-time $500 credit to $1,200 that a homeowner could claim each year. Vincent Barnes, senior vice president for policy at the Alliance to Save Energy, said this would allow homeowners to make new energy-efficient investments over several years.
But for all Americans, including those who aren't homeowners, the impact will likely be limited. The Rhodium Group estimates that by 2030 the bill's provisions will save households an average of up to $112 a year as gas and electricity becomes cheaper as more Americans drive EVs and houses become more energy- efficient. | https://www.wqad.com/article/news/nation-world/inflation-reduction-act-could-do-little-to-impact-inflation/507-974d59a6-ea75-4c81-9ab5-0342d0bf262c | 2022-08-12T19:48:39Z | https://www.wqad.com/article/news/nation-world/inflation-reduction-act-could-do-little-to-impact-inflation/507-974d59a6-ea75-4c81-9ab5-0342d0bf262c | false | 59 |

Capital preservation is an important objective for every investor. It's famously summed up by Warren Buffett who says his first rule of investing is to not lose money. And his second rule is to remember the first. When a bull market is racing higher, investors tend to get more aggressive. This means buying growth stocks. And in some cases these companies may not yet be generating a profit at all much less paying out a dividend.
Speculative investors would argue that the risk is worth it since, according to S&P Global, approximately two-thirds of the total return for the S&P 500 index in the last 100 years was due to capital appreciation. The other one-third comes from dividends. And when markets make a move downward, investors are seeking to hedge losses wherever they can. That's where dividend stocks come in.

70 crest gates lifted at Prakasam Barrage; 4.4L cusecs released
- Revenue officials have been alerted in Krishna and Guntur districts
- People living in low-lying areas in Vijayawada city have been shifted to safer places
- Fishermen instructed not to venture into River Krishna
Guntur/Vijayawada: Irrigation department officials lifted 70 crest gates of Prakasam Barrage in Vijayawada city on Friday and released 4.4 lakh cusecs of floodwater into the downstream of Prakasam Barrage.
Inflows into the barrage have increased due to heavy floodwater discharges from the Pulichintala Project in Palnadu district. According to the irrigation department officials, Prakasam Barrage is getting 4.10 lakh cusecs of the flood water from the upstream and the officials are discharging 4.4. lakh cusecs of the floodwater. If the inflows increase further, the officials are planning to release up to 4.5-lakh cusecs of the floodwater.
The distinct administration is not allowing the visitors to take holy bath in the river. Police pickets were set up at ghats at the river as a precautionary measure.
The officials have taken steps to shift the families residing in the low-lying areas to the safer places as a precautionary measure. Families residing in the low-lying areas at Bhupesh Gupta Nagar and Ramalingeswara Nagar in Vjayawada city will be shifted to the safer places.
Guntur District Collector M Venugopal Reddy alerted the revenue officials of Thullur, Tadepalli, Mangalagiri, Kollipara, Duggirala and Repalle mandals to take steps to check untoward incidents in the backdrop of heavy discharge of floodwater. He instructed the parents not to send children into the canals and tanks.
Krishna District Collector P Rajit Basha alerted the revenue and ward secretariat officials in the backdrop of release of heavy floodwater from the Prakasam Barrage. He reviewed the flood situation with the officials and instructed the fishermen not to venture into the river for fishing and urged the public not to travel on the boats. He urged the owners of the cattle to shift the cattle in the low-lying areas to the safer places.
He alerted the revenue officials of Avanigadda, Nagayalanka, Mopidevi, Challapalli, Penamaluru, Thotlavalluru and Ghantasala mandals and directed them to be ready to face flood threat and take all the precautionary measures to prevent untoward incidents and losses.
Reviewing the flood situation, Bapatla district SP Vakul Jindal conducted a review meeting with the police officials of Bhattiprolu, Repalle and Chodayapalem and instructed them to take all the precautionary measures with the coordination of departments concerned and alert the officials residing in low-lying areas. He instructed the police officials to be in touch with the people and ready to render services.
In River Godavari at Sir Arthur Cotton Barrage in Dowleswaram near Rajamahendravaram, the flood flow remained steady at 14.76 lakh cusecs (cubic foot of water flow per second), going past the second danger level.
According to the Andhra Pradesh State Disaster Management Authority (SDMA), the flood level showed a marginal decrease at upstream Bhadrachalam in Telangana on Friday afternoon, with signs of a further decline over the next few hours. | https://www.thehansindia.com/andhra-pradesh/70-crest-gates-lifted-at-prakasam-barrage-44l-cusecs-released-757511 | 2022-08-12T19:53:19Z | https://www.thehansindia.com/andhra-pradesh/70-crest-gates-lifted-at-prakasam-barrage-44l-cusecs-released-757511 | false | 1 |
Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Who will rise up for me against the evildoers?
Or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.

GREENVILLE – Mitzi Lee Byrd, Parker Byrd’s mom, posted on social media that Parker will have to have his right knee amputated.
On Aug. 4, Byrd underwent a below-the-knee amputation of his right leg after a boating accident in Bath Creek damaged both of his legs. That same day, the Scotland High School Fellowship of Christian Athletes held a prayer vigil for Byrd and his family.
Mitzi posted the following on Facebook Thursday evening.
“Today’s surgery didn’t go as we’d hoped. Parker’s tissue below the knee and both his fibula and tibia are not viable. He will have to have his knee amputated. This is a huge blow because we desperately wanted to keep his knee to help with normal mobility. Our next step is to attempt something called disarticulation amputation. This is when they salvage the whole femur to allow more mobility. Only 2-3% of amputations are this kind. Dr. Zeri thinks this might actually work but we still have to let Ortho/Trauma assess it….The current plan is to continue hyperbaric treatments twice a day, do wash out surgeries on Saturday and Tuesday, then attempt the amputation on Thursday.”
Mitzi has also asked to continue praying for Parker and the Byrd family throughout the process.
A Live Like Madison Blood Drive in honor of Parker is scheduled for Tuesday at St. Luke’s United Methodist Church, from 12:30 p.m. to 6 p.m.

LAS VEGAS — Former NFL running back Marshawn Lynch was asleep and smelled of alcohol when Las Vegas police found him in his damaged sports car and arrested him on suspicion of driving while intoxicated, according to an arrest report made public Thursday.
Lynch’s attorneys, David Chesnoff and Richard Schonfeld, responded in a statement that Lynch’s car “was safely parked and not in operation” when police arrived early Tuesday and a driving while intoxicated charge won’t stick.
“Marshawn was not pulled over for a DUI,” the statement said. “We are confident that when all evidence is presented, this will not be a DUI under Nevada law.”
The arresting officer, Kevin Barker, reported that Lynch’s black 2020 Shelby GT500 was “undriveable,” with one missing front wheel and the rear driver’s side and front passenger wheels badly damaged.
The arrest report said investigators found markings suggesting the vehicle “hit sidewalk areas” before stopping in an industrial section of downtown Las Vegas not far from Main Street.
“The driver was asleep behind the wheel with the driver’s door open leaning back in the seat,” the report said, “with bloodshot, watery eyes and had one shoe on and one shoe off.”
The 7:30 a.m. Tuesday arrest came the morning after the Seattle Seahawks — the team for which Lynch played most of his 12 NFL seasons — announced that Lynch had been hired as a broadcast special correspondent.
Lynch also played for the Buffalo Bills and Oakland Raiders.
The arrest report said Lynch, 36, was uncooperative with officers and fell asleep several times during questioning. Jail officers “had to use a restraint chair to force a blood draw” after a judge issued a warrant, the report said.
Lynch was later released from Las Vegas City Jail pending a Dec. 7 court date in Las Vegas Municipal Court.
Results of his blood test were not immediately made public. Nevada law bans driving with a blood-alcohol level of 0.08% or more.
Court records show that Lynch entered a no-contest plea to a misdemeanor vehicle parking charge and fined $750 in April in a case that saw charges of failing to report or remain at the scene of an accident dismissed.
Schonfeld, who represented Lynch in that case, declined Thursday to comment about it.
Lynch’s attorneys said in their statement that he “appreciates and is thankful for everyone’s concern and support.”
Lynch had 10,413 career rushing yards and 85 rushing touchdowns from 2007-19 and was chosen for the Pro Bowl five times. He won a Super Bowl with the Seahawks in 2013. | https://www.paradisepost.com/2022/08/12/police-marshawn-lynch-was-asleep-car-damaged-before-arrest/ | 2022-08-12T19:59:59Z | https://www.paradisepost.com/2022/08/12/police-marshawn-lynch-was-asleep-car-damaged-before-arrest/ | false | 47 |
NEW YORK (AP) — Reaching the age of 25 is usually a sign of hitting adulthood, a signal to put away all childish things. Not for “South Park” and stars Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman.
The Comedy Central staple about four bratty, perpetually bundled-up youngsters in an unhinged Colorado cartoon town celebrated its silver anniversary by trundling along, fueled by poo jokes and razor-sharp social satire.
Just some of its targets over the years include religions like Christianity, Islam and Scientology as well as climate change deniers, cryptocurrencies, Phil Collins, Tiger Woods, smoking bans, “Game of Thrones” and pedophiles. One of its child stars used to die in every episode, violently.
“Some people are like, ‘Wow, I can’t believe they made fun of that because that’s such an important thing.’ And that’s exactly why we made fun of it,” says Trey Parker, who created the show with Matt Stone.
To celebrate the series’ 25th birthday, Parker and Stone have returned to Colorado with a concert filmed at Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre near Denver, headlined by Primus and alternative rockers Ween. Rush members Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson also stopped by to play.
The concert, which will debut Saturday on Comedy Central and hit Paramount+ on Sunday, will feature songs from the series’ history. Stone calls it “a celebration, a party and a retrospective.” It airs at the same hour and same day 25 years ago that “South Park” debuted.
Since the Peabody Award-winning show’s first episode in 1997, Parker and Stone have blurred the boundary between good taste and bad, even more so than that other, long-living adult cartoon “The Simpsons.”
“South Park” had a cartoon Jesse Jackson insist on having his rear end kissed by Kyle's dad to apologize for his use of a racial slur and depicted Jesus Christ defecating on former President George W. Bush and the American flag.
“As much as I love ‘The Simpsons’ and I think ‘The Simpsons’ is really important, I think ‘South Park’ has definitely done things that ‘The Simpsons’ haven’t,” says Dr. Jonathan Gray, a media and cultural studies professor at University of Wisconsin-Madison, whose books include “Watching with The Simpsons: Television, Parody, and Intertextuality.”
One highlight was the three-episode 2007 arc that told the story of Imaginationland, a place where Gandalf, Charlie Brown, Count Chocula and all the inventions of human imagination live. When terrorists attacked Imaginationland, our pint-sized heroes had to set things right before the U.S. military nuked the place.
Typically, each episode of the show culminates in a cut-the-crap, commonsense sort of moral — some version of “do the right thing” or let people make their own decisions.
Gray says Parker and Stone fit poorly in either the Democratic or Republic camps and places the pair on the political spectrum as “left-skewing libertarians.”
One common target is pontificating celebrities, like when Bono of U2 was revealed to be the world's largest turd. But Parker and Stone only like to skewer powerful celebs, showing a surprisingly tender side to Brittney Spears, who in an episode has blown off her own head, but the music industry keeps making her perform.
“They hate celebrities when celebrities try to tell us how to run our lives,” Gray says. "Some of their criticisms are ones that unite the left and the right. Like we all find celebrity culture vacuous."
“South Park” is the series that gave us cultural touchstones like Cheesy Poofs, ManBearPig and Mr. Hankey, the Christmas poo. It gave us Professor Chaos and General Disarray and the sight of Cartman exacting revenge on a teenage bully by making him eat his own parents and then gleefully licking the tears from his face.
It has morphed into full-length movies like “South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut” — which snagged an Oscar nomination for best original song — and video games like “South Park: The Stick of Truth.” On Broadway, their musical about Mormons has been a hit since 2011.
The Parents Television Council, which hopes to restore “decency to the entertainment industry,” has frequently criticized the show, calling it “home for graphic sex and violence.” The show has confounded censors across the globe, and the show itself even launched a ″#CancelSouthPark” ad campaign, pretending that someone was trying to sanitize the show.
Parker and Stone first bonded as fans of Terry Gilliam and the Monty Python comedy troupe. They hand cut and glued their first “South Park” cartoons from construction paper and found a freedom in the low-key method.
“If you had pitched the show and said ‘Oh, and there’s this little 8-year-old boy and he dies violently and isn’t that great?’ Well, that would never fly. Even in good animation that’s not funny. But in construction-paper animation, it’s funny,” Parker says.
From paper to computers, the show keeps going. It has been a GIF and meme generator long before there were GIFs and memes: “I’m not fat, I’m big boned!” “Oh, hamburgers!” and “Respect my authoritah!”
Celebrating its 25th anniversary with a concert makes sense since music has been at the show's heart. Some 100 songs have been used over the years, and “South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut” was itself a musical film. Parker and Stone think of themselves less as animators and more as members of a band.
“When we go into a new season, we go to the studio like a band, and we have no idea what’s going to come out,” says Parker. “We’re always surprised at the end of the season of like, 'Oh, we did that? That’s crazy!' That’s what kept it fun and fresh for 25 years.”

A portfolio of Long Island industrial properties has sold for $76 million.
The Silverman Group, a commercial real estate investment and development firm based in Basking Ridge, N.J., purchased the nine-property portfolio from Sherwood Equities, which has owned it for nearly half a century.
The industrial properties in the sale total 372,000 square feet and are spread across Melville and Farmingdale. Mostly constructed in the 1970s by the Katz family, who remain the principals of Sherwood Equities, the properties have an occupancy rate of 98 percent.
The portfolio represents a value-add opportunity for Blake Silverman’s Silverman Group, as the average rents, reported to be a little more than $8 a square foot, are well below current industrial rents on Long Island.
These are the first Long Island properties for the Silverman Group, which owns 25 million square feet of industrial, office and retail properties and 4,000 units of multifamily assets across 20 states.
The portfolio sale was brokered by Adam Spies, Gary Gabriel, Adam Doneger, Kyle Schmidt and Rachel Humphrey of Cushman & Wakefield. | https://libn.com/2022/08/12/long-island-industrial-portfolio-trades-for-76m/ | 2022-08-12T20:02:38Z | https://libn.com/2022/08/12/long-island-industrial-portfolio-trades-for-76m/ | true | 1 |
A Nisga’a delegation is heading to Scotland to begin discussions about returning a memorial pole that was taken out of the Nass Valley in the late 1920s.
The delegation will meet with officials from the National Museum of Scotland where the Nisga’a memorial pole currently resides.
According to a statement released by the Nisga’a Lisims Government (NLG), the totem pole was taken in 1929 by ethnographer Marius Barbeau, who later sold it to the museum.
The Ni’isjoohl memorial pole was carved and erected in 1860s for the House of Ni’isjoohl – one of the 50 Nisga’a house groups.
The pole tells the story of Ts’wawit, a warrior who was next in line to be chief before he was killed in a conflict with a neighbouring nation.
The Nisga’a said the pole was acquired by Barbeau, during a period in which the “unethical and illegal collecting of Indigenous belongings by settles and anthropologists was common in Canada.”
The pole was taken without consent when House of Ni’isjoohl members were away from for the annual food harvesting season.
“The pole holds significant knowledge within its carvings, and can serve as a form of curriculum for the next generation to learn a Nisga’a way of life through oral history,” said the NLG in a statement.
The delegation, consisting of Sim’oogit Ni’isjoohl (chief Earl Stephens), Noxs Ts’aawit (Dr. Amy Parent) and Shawna McKay, will meet with officials from the National Museum of Scotland on Aug.22.
“This will be the first time in living memory that members of the House of Ni’isjoohl will be able to see the memorial pole with our own eyes,” said Sim’oogit Ni’isjoohl (Earl Stephens). “This visit will be deeply emotional for us all.”
The repatriation of the pole is also subject to Article 12 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, of which the United Kingdom is also a signatory, said Noxs Ts’aawit (Dr. Parent) who is the Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Education and Governance at the Simon Fraser University.
“The repatriation of the Ni’sjoohl house pole is one step the National Museum of Scotland can take towards reconciliation through concrete action,” she added.
The landmark Nisga’a agreement (1999) was also the first modern treaty to include major provisions for repatriation. As of Sept. 2010, more than 300 artefacts have been legally returned from the Canadian Museum of Civilization and the Royal BC Museum.
If successful, the Nisga’a memorial pole would be the second ever pole to be repatriated back to Canada from a European museum. The Haisla G’psgolox pole remains the first and only First Nations pole to have been repatriated to northwestern B.C. from the Sweden’s Museum of Ethnography in 2006, 79 years after it was taken.
When returned, the pole will become part of a larger research project to explore the philosophy and practices of the Nisga’a carving tradition, said the NLG.

A passenger was arrested when a WestJet flight bound for London was forced to turn back around to Calgary International Airport.
WestJet confirmed in a statement that the incident was caused by “mask non-compliance and physical interference with a crew member.”
The flight had only been in the air for an hour when the aircrew made the decision to return to Calgary so the passenger could be removed and arrested by members of the Calgary Police Airport Patrol Team.
The crew contacted Air Traffic Control who got ahold of the police around 9:30 pm Wednesday night.
Calgary police have charged 52-year-old Mamoudou Barry with one count of mischief over $5,000, one count of common nuisance endangering life, one count of assault, and one count of failure to comply with crew member’s instruction under Canadian Aviation Regulations.

WestJet says crews are trained to handle a number of situations but they have a zero-tolerance approach to any interference that could impact the safety and security of guests, crew members, and operations.
WestJet’s chief operating officer, Diederik Pen, says as restrictions have changed, one thing that hasn’t is support for the crew in situations like this.
“Our cabin crew members show up daily to ensure the safety of our guests and operations. Over the last two years, they have been at the forefront of the pandemic, navigating an extremely complex operating environment and required to enforce restrictions, such as mask compliance,” Pen stated. “As Canadians return to travel, we will never compromise on making the right decisions in support of the safety and well-being of our crews and guests.”
After the incident, the flight to London continued and arrived safely at its destination at 2:39 pm local time.
WestJet says it appreciates the patience and understanding of its guests for the disruption to their travel plans. | https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/westjet-passenger-arrested-calgary | 2022-08-12T20:08:35Z | https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/westjet-passenger-arrested-calgary | false | 1 |
Charity Commission
Following collaborative project, Commission clarifies bullying and harassment roles and responsibilities
The Charity Commission yesterday clarified respective responsibilities in preventing and responding to incidents of bullying and harassment in charities.
This follows a working group co-chaired by the regulator involving a range of charity sector and other representatives. Addressing bullying and harassment, which should never be accepted in the charity sector, benefits from collective recognition of the contributions required from individual charities, wider sector leadership, the regulator, government, and other experts. The group focused on the discussion and clarification of those respective roles and responsibilities and exploring ways those involved can take action to address bullying and harassment.
The role of trustees
Trustees must recognise that there is simply no place for bullying and harassment within, or by, charities. Trustees have a central role to play to ensure their charity has clear policies, and that allegations are handled appropriately and in line with employment and other laws. Those concerned about bullying or harassment are encouraged to take their concerns directly to the charity or its trustees whenever this is appropriate, and trustees are responsible for ensuring they have processes in place to hear those concerns and address the matter.
The Commission’s safeguarding guidance sets out that charities with employees should have welfare, discipline and whistleblowing policies for staff, including clear policies and procedures on bullying and harassment.
Under the Commission’s serious incident reporting arrangements, charities should report the most serious actual or alleged incidents of bullying or harassment promptly for the regulator to assess. Workers and volunteers can also make reports to the Commission.
Intervention by the Commission
As a risk-based regulator focused on charity governance, the Commission prioritises involvement to address the highest risk of harm, for example where there are concerns that trustees have not addressed reported bullying or harassment that is widespread and systemic within a charity, or there are concerns about governance issues or potential mismanagement.
The Commission has a range of possible responses to such cases, from providing regulatory advice to trustees to the opening of a statutory inquiry. Its focus is on the proper governance of the charity, and it seeks to ensure that the charity’s trustees are responding to the incidents appropriately, including taking necessary steps to prevent further wrongdoing and harm.
It is not the Commission’s role to resolve individual employment issues. Employment matters should generally be raised with the charity through their grievance procedures, followed by action in the employment tribunals if necessary. Investigating alleged criminal offences is the responsibility of law enforcement agencies and reports relating to any threat to an individual’s safety should be shared with the police in the first instance, before notifying the Commission in due course – as the Commission is not a prosecuting authority.
The working group is continuing to meet and exploring further strands of work relating to charity leadership, what constitutes or contributes to bullying behaviour, as well as increasing visibility of existing resources.
Paul Latham, Director of Policy at the Charity Commission, yesterday said:
There is no place for bullying and harassment in society, and there is certainly no place for it in the charitable sector. In a sector grounded on kindness and generosity, this kind of culture is unacceptable.
I am grateful for the leadership shown by our sector group on this issue and am pleased that we have been working so collaboratively to better communicate the Commission’s role and underline the role played by individual charities and the wider sector.
We are clear that we expect charities to take action to prevent and deal with incidents, but that we will intervene where there are concerns that trustees are not complying with their responsibilities, including in relation to safeguarding, to protect charities and the wider charitable sector.
Jane Ide OBE, Chief Executive at ACEVO, yesterday said:
Bullying and harassment is unacceptable in any part of our sector and at any level of it. It is essential that we work collaboratively to establish a zero tolerance approach to bullying and harassment and to ensure that everyone working in civil society, whether paid staff or volunteer, feels safe and respected in their work.
We welcome the focus from the Charity Commission on its role as our regulator in this context. The clarification provided today on serious incident reporting and the role the Commission will – and will not – play in those circumstances is a helpful step.
This is just one part of our sector’s response to the issue though. We look forward to working alongside the Commission and our colleagues across civil society to continue to inform, educate and support our sector in creating a safe and inclusive culture for all.
Notes to Editors
- The Commission’s reporting arrangements require trustees to promptly report serious incidents to the regulator. In an accompanying examples table, it cites ‘an internal investigation has established that there is a widespread culture of bullying within the charity’ as something that should be reported to it, whereas an isolated incident lower down the organisation, which has been dealt with by minor disciplinary action, does not typically require reporting.
- The Commission continues to encourage charity workers and volunteers to report issues that could seriously harm: the people a charity helps, the charity’s staff or volunteers, services the charity provides, the charity’s assets and the charity’s reputation.
- The Commission began working with sector representatives to clarify its regulatory role following a recommendation in a report published by ACEVO and the Centre for Mental Health in 2019: In Plain Sight. The report contains a range of recommendations for charity leaders on how to address risks of bullying and harassment.
- Attendees at the working group were the Charity Commission, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport, ACAS, ACEVO, Protect, The Diana Award, the Centre for Mental Health, NCVO, WCVA, UNISON and the Association of Chairs.
- The Charity Commission is the independent, non-ministerial government department that registers and regulates charities in England and Wales. Its purpose is to ensure charity can thrive and inspire trust so that people can improve lives and strengthen society.

With extreme heat and little rain still on the horizon for Oklahoma, gardeners may need to alter their fall garden plans.
“There’s nothing better than fresh produce throughout most of the year, but the lack of rainfall coupled with excessive heat may put a damper on successful fall gardening,” said David Hillock, Oklahoma State University Extension consumer horticulturist. “Typically, some of the best quality garden vegetables in Oklahoma are produced and harvested during the fall season when the warm days are followed by cool, humid nights.”
In ideal conditions, Hillock said plant soil metabolism is low; therefore, more of the food manufactured by vegetable plants becomes high-quality produce. Unfortunately, the current climate across much of the state involves high soil temperature, high light intensity and rapid drying of soil.
“This can be a problem for gardeners because achieving a full stand of plants in these extreme weather conditions may require special treatment,” he said. “Gardeners may have to employ strategies such as shade row covers when seeding, along with supplemental watering to reduce soil temperature to aid in seed germination.”
Vegetable seeds are also vulnerable to the hot soil surface exposed to the summer sun.
“In order for viable seeds to germinate or sprout, they must have the proper temperature, adequate moisture and sufficient oxygen,” Hillock said.
Shade row covers can be made from burlap and a few stakes, said Laura Payne, horticulture specialist in the OSU Extension Payne County office.
“The burlap still allows light through but diffuses the heat on the tender plants,” Payne said. “Gardeners can also use screen wire strips or boards to cover the rows, which will moderate both soil temperature and soil moisture. Remove the covers after the seedlings emerge.”
Another option to help stave off the heat is creating deeper furrows in which to plant. This allows the seed to germinate in cooler soil. Even then, gardeners will need to supplement with extra irrigation to ensure the soil remains moist at seed depth.
Season extension methods, such as high tunnels or hoop houses, will help, especially if planting is delayed a few weeks to avoid excessive heat.
While daylight hours are still very warm this time of the year, nighttime temperatures are slightly cooling off, allowing plants to recover in the evening. Payne said the cooler evening temperatures will help with the establishment of a fall garden, but once seeds are sown, irrigate adequately. A garden’s soil dries out quickly during the day.
Gardeners who use transplants should condition them by reducing the amount of water supplied and exposure to full sunlight. Hillock said this process can take three to five days.
“When you’re ready to plant the transplants, do so in the late afternoon or early evening when it’s cooler to help reduce transplant shock,” he said. “Water the plants as they are set. A water-soluble fertilizer can be used if necessary.”
Typical fall vegetables to plant include broccoli, leeks, onions, peas, radish, kale, cabbage, collards, kohlrabi and cauliflower.

Illinois COVID-19 hospitalizations increase to levels last seen in February
State health officials today reported 1,471 COVID-19 patients were being treated in hospitals throughout the state.
That's a 4.1% increased from a week ago when 1,413 patients were hospitalized with the deadly respiratory virus.
At one point this past week, more than 1,500 patients were hospitalized with COVID-19, which hasn't happened since mid-February, according to Illinois Department of Public Health records.
Of those currently hospitalized, 181 are in ICU beds. That's up 41 patients from a week ago, IDPH figures show.
IDPH officials also recorded 123 more deaths over the past week, including 51 on Tuesday alone, the highest single-day total since late February. The state is now averaging 18 deaths a day from the virus over the past week, the highest that metric has been since mid-March.
The state's death toll from COVID-19 now sits at 34,539, IDPH is reporting.
Another 26,462 new cases of the virus were also reported in Illinois over the past week. Since the outset of the pandemic, 3,620,877 infections have been recorded statewide.
After weeks of being listed as counties with a high risk of community spread, both Cook and McHenry counties were downgraded to medium risk this week. The remaining collar counties remain as high community levels, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Public health officials urge those with underlying medical conditions to wear masks in crowded or indoor settings in those high community level counties.
The CDC is also reporting 69.5% of the state's 12.8 million residents are fully vaccinated. Of those fully vaccinated, 54.5% have received a booster dose. Of those eligible for a second booster, 35.6% have received one.
"Data indicates that the risk of hospitalization and severe outcomes from COVID-19 is much higher for unvaccinated people than for those who are up to date on their vaccinations," IDPH officials stated in their weekly news release. | https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20220812/illinois-covid-19-hospitalizations-increase-to-levels-last-seen-in-february | 2022-08-12T20:15:44Z | https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20220812/illinois-covid-19-hospitalizations-increase-to-levels-last-seen-in-february | true | 1 |
For another quarter, the results of Natura&Co (NTCO3) highlighted the scenario full of challenges for the cosmetics company. At 1:42 pm (Brasília time), NTCO3 assets were down 13.94% to R$13.71, standing out among the biggest drops on the Ibovespa after a net loss of R$766.7 million in the second quarter of 2022 The company, thus, reversed a profit of R$ 234.8 million from the same period last year, which was explained by higher financial expenses and taxes.
Natura reported weak results in the face of macro deterioration, exchange rate appreciation, conflict between Ukraine x Russia and cost pressure, highlights XP, with consolidated sales down 9% on an annual comparison basis.
Profitability was the main negative highlight of the result again, analysts reinforce, with the Ebitda margin (Ebitda, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, on net revenue) adjusted by 6.3% (down 2.3 pp .P.).
The main margin offenders were: i) higher raw material and freight costs; ii) negative exchange rate effects; and iii) operational deleveraging due to the drop in revenue, mainly in Avon and TBS; which was partially offset by gains in efficiency and synergies.
Bradesco BBI, in turn, described the results as a “roller coaster”. For analysts, there are major positive highlights, with Natura Brasil sales growing 14%, Avon Brasil sales 5% higher in the Beauty category and Hispanic markets growing well at constant exchange rates.
However, there are also some major frustrations, such as the contraction in gross margin, a painfully low Ebitda margin of just 3% at TBS and weak Avon International, albeit with limited deterioration when excluding Ukraine and Russia.
“It is fair to say that the ‘engine’ of Natura & Co in Latin America, particularly Natura – looks better than it has been in several quarters, with strong growth and a stable EBITDA margin of 10.8%”, points out the BBI. However, he says, the question mark over TBS has grown (retail channels are struggling with lower traffic, but other channels are no longer accelerating), with weakness in that business adding to the list of issues that need to be fixed.
A positive step in this direction has been communicated – management expects to be able to cut corporate headquarters expenses by at least 40%, which equates to almost 6% of last year’s Ebitda – and analysts expect further news about the new corporate structure in the coming years. months.
“That said, the CEO’s comment that ‘margins will remain tight in the short term’ is likely to cause some concern and potentially lower consensus estimates (BBI is nearly 7% down),” the analysts note. Therefore, while there are certainly new launches at Avon Brasil, and Natura continues to perform well as a brand across Latin America, BBI believes that the results probably did not bring comfort over the estimates and the conviction of a recovery in the second half of the year that investors were looking. As a result, they reduced the target price from BRL 30.00 to BRL 29.00 per share at the end of 2022.
JPMorgan saw a positive message, even if the results were poor.
Analysts highlight some points for greater optimism. Firstly, the tone of simplification and corporate restructuring, which was clear in the message of the new CEO, Fábio Barbosa. In addition, capital discipline is already starting to generate recurring savings in results, in addition to material improvements in cash flow generation trends (although still negative). Finally, clearer and more transparent communication with the market
“In addition, we believe that the focus should be on the Group’s new strategic plan, focused on rationalizing its structures, especially at the holding level, to have a leaner and more agile operation, with greater autonomy”, points out JP, which follows with a neutral recommendation for the asset.
Challenging scenario
In a conference call with the market after the results, the CEO of Natura highlighted that he sees a challenging scenario for the 2nd semester, but also with a trend of improvement in sales.
The pressure of commodities and inflation will continue to impact gross margin and, in this scenario, the company remains cautious, but will operate in the management of discounts and through the mix of categories that will be the focus of most of the company’s units. “As we saw in 2Q22, revenue should improve”, points out Fábio Barbosa, noting that there should still be “a lot of pressure” in the short term.
The 2Q22 results, according to the CEO, reflect the challenging scenario in the period. But, in his view, the company has made good decisions to achieve better results.
Barbosa says that Natura seeks a leaner, more decentralized organization, with greater autonomy and allocating capital to better defined priorities. Significant savings in corporate expenses have already been identified and all businesses continue to focus on protecting margins and generating cash flow in all units.
According to Guilherme Strano Castellan, CFO, the priority is to continue working on general expenses and profitability. He highlights that the cash position remains solid, with a focus on ongoing liability management. The final cash balance in June was R$ 4.3 billion, with a maturity of 3 to 6 years. Leverage is 2.6x net debt/EBITDA.
International market
The company is in constant reassessment of possibly exiting some international markets, and complete review of the company’s overheads. He states that the teams were assertive in the changes in revenue management, in the face of high commodity prices and due to inflation – if there were no such movement, the indicators would be much worse, says Guilherme Strano Castellan.
“Even with Avon Internacional’s deleveraging and gross margin pressure, we managed to offset part of the drop in general expenses”, points out the CFO.
According to João Paulo Brotto Gonçalves Ferreira, CEO of Natura in Latin America, two stores will be opened in Shanghai, and the expectation is to expand further in the Chinese market in 2023. “We are very optimistic about the opening in China”, he highlights.
Castellan, in turn, admitted that the company is considering closing operations in regions where it has lower profitability, as Natura&Co seeks to recover profit margins in a “still challenging scenario”. The executive, however, did not detail which are these geographies.

Wallabies injury curse strikes again: Fainga’a out, Pollard to debut
By Iain Payten
The Wallabies will do another sweep for black cats and broken mirrors after concussed hooker Folau Fainga’a became the latest withdrawal from the second Test against Argentina, forcing Lachlan Lonergan to start and Billy Pollard onto the bench for a potential debut.
After a two-week tour that has already seen Dave Porecki, Michael Hooper, Quade Cooper, Hunter Paisami and Allan Ala’alatoa all fly home, Fainga’a suffered a head knock at the Wallabies’ training session on Thursday. He reported symptoms and failed a test on Friday morning.
The late withdrawal has prompted another 11th-hour re-shuffle, with six-Test youngster Lonergan promoted to make his first Test start in San Juan, and uncapped 20-year-old Pollard added to the bench.
Lonergan, 22, debuted in 2021 and has played all his Tests off the bench. Pollard, who has only played eight Super Rugby games and was with the Australia A team in July, flew into Argentina last week as cover for Porecki.
The Wallabies fielding two rookie hookers will change the picture of the game, or at least in Argentina’s mind. The position is critical to a team’s efficacy at the lineout and the scrum, and the Pumas were already looking to re-assert control in the set-pieces in San Juan, even with in-form Fainga’a playing. Michael Cheika’s men will fancy their chances at disrupting the Wallabies’ set piece possession.
In the Wallabies’ favour, however, is the fact both Lonergan and Pollard hail from the Brumbies and were developed by Wallabies forwards coach Dan McKellar. They’re inside a Wallabies’ forward system that also borrows heavily from ACT rugby.
“I have a lot of confidence in both of them,” captain James Slipper said.
“Lonners has been playing really well this year and it is another good opportunity for him. It’s his first start for the Wallabies, and one thing you know about ‘Noss’ (Lonergan) is that he looks very calm, but when he’s out there he goes full throttle. I am really excited to see how he goes.
“Billy obviously came over late. He has been using my scrum boots all week so I am not even sure if he has his own boots. He is talented young guy who is really excited and you can tell how pumped he is. What you get from youth is that enthusiasm and I reckon both of them will bring heaps.”
Amid an extraordinary injury crisis, the benefits of a well-planned Australia A program in July continues to bear fruit, with Pollard having hit the ground running after arriving in Mendoza last week. The Jason Gilmore-coached team played Test-strength Samoa, Fiji and Tonga teams in the Pacific Nations Cup and used identical calls and structures to the Wallabies.
Six of the Wallabies’ 23-man squad for the second Test played at least one game for Australia A in July.
The McKellar factor, and a forward group that is over half populated by Brumbies or ex-Brumbies, will also help Lonergan and Pollard settle into the job, said Slipper.
“For the players coming in, it’s not incredibly new to them,” Slipper said. “There is not much detail uptake to be done. They’re pretty comfortable with everything they need to know and having Dan here is a big help for them, having the same coach. They’re pretty comfortable. They don’t seem nervous at all. But let’s wait until tomorrow I guess.”
The Wallabies have been hammered by an injury crisis this year, which is not just limited to the last two weeks.

Prior to even arriving in Argentina, the Wallabies had lost the services (for various lengths of time) of Tom Banks, Cooper, Andrew Kellaway, Jordy Petaia, Lachie Swinton, Cadeyrn Neville, Izaia Perese, Ned Hanigan, Jed Holloway, Izack Rodda, Samu Kerevi, Alaalatoa and Angus Bell. Rennie is expecting to have nine players return for selection against South Africa.
A team picked from Wallabies players who are currently unavailable would be a very strong one, with the exception of having no halfback.
“It seems like all I talk about is that narrative, next man up,” Slipper said.
“It sounds like a cliche but it is something we are proud of. We have a squad mentality and once again that’s a phrase that’s spoken about a lot but at the moment we are doing it well and fighting hard for each other.
“I won’t lie. It’s been a tough tour. But we’re licking our lips at the chance to get out there and go back to back.”

Germany Inflation Slows As Estimated In July
(RTTNews) - Germany consumer price inflation slowed as initially estimated in July but remained at an elevated level, final data from Destatis showed on Wednesday.
Consumer price inflation slowed to 7.5 percent from 7.6 percent in June. The rate matched the flash estimate published on July 28. In May, headline inflation hit a record high 7.9 percent.
Although the rate of inflation was slightly down again, it remained at a high level clearly above 7 percent.
Two measures of the relief package have had a slight downward effect on the overall inflation rate since June 2022: the 9-euro ticket and the fuel discount, Georg Thiel, President of the Federal Statistical Office said.
In addition, the EEG surcharge was abolished in July 2022, which had a slight downward effect on the increase in electricity prices.
Energy product prices were by 35.5 percent higher than in the same month a year earlier, following a 38.0 percent increase in June. At the same time, food prices gained 14.8 percent, which was the fifth consecutive rise.
Excluding energy and food, inflation was 3.2 percent, not even half the overall inflation rate.
Compared to the previous month, overall consumer prices gained 0.9 percent in July, as estimated, after a 0.1 percent increase in June.
The harmonized index of consumer prices, or HICP, rose 8.5 percent year-on-year, following an 8.2 percent increase in June. Month-on-month, the HICP gained 0.8 percent, in contrast to the 0.1 percent fall in June.
Both monthly and annual HICP rates were in line with the initial estimates. | https://www.finanzen.at/nachrichten/zinsen/germany-inflation-slows-as-estimated-in-july-1031669673 | 2022-08-12T20:24:58Z | https://www.finanzen.at/nachrichten/zinsen/germany-inflation-slows-as-estimated-in-july-1031669673 | false | 1 |

Doritos Just Launched Two Classic Condiment-Like Flavors
From Superbowl commercials featuring celebrities like Matthew McConaughey, Mindy Kaling, and Jimmy Kimmel to partnerships with fast food chains like Taco Bell, Doritos arguably is one of the recognizable and beloved brands in the snack world. The Frito Lay company started in 1955 after Frito Lay struck a partnership with Disney to open a Mexican restaurant, "Casa de Fritos," at their California theme park (via Snack History). After a salesman saw the restaurant throwing out stale tortillas, they recommended the company avoid waste by turning the tortillas into deep-fried, seasoned chips. Frito Lay saw how popular these snacks were, decided to mass-produce them, and the Dorito chip was born.

Have you ever wondered why companies try to make things sound so magical? Why can't they just tell us what flavor it is and get on with it? When you see something that boasts that it tastes "magical," what exactly does that imply? That it tastes like you would expect something magical to taste, or that you will be overcome with a feeling that you can only describe as magical? You then take a sip of it and find out that it kind of tastes like a lot of sugar mixed with artificial fruit flavors. What's so "magical" about that?

The Aldi Meatball Fiasco That Has Reddit Worried
Aldi may have started off as a German grocery store chain, but these days, consumers can find Aldi grocery stores in 36 U.S. states.

The Most Popular Fast Food In California Isn't What You'd Expect
Anyone who thinks they can narrow the food culture of an entire region into a single cuisine is running a fool's errand, and California is no exception. Those who have never visited the Golden State might be inclined to count controversial juice cleanses and sprout-filled veggie sandwiches as staples of its collective diet, but the stereotypical dining scene carried on in wealthy, health-conscious pockets of Los Angeles only makes up a tiny fraction of the state's eclectic landscape of eats.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R) top spokesperson is moving over to his reelection campaign.
Christina Pushaw began working for the governor’s office as DeSantis’s press secretary a little more than a year ago, but in that time she’s earned a reputation among Florida politicos and journalists for her combative online presence and frequent squabbling with reporters and virtually anyone willing to criticize her boss.
Pushaw also faced intense scrutiny earlier this summer after The Washington Post reported that she had registered as a foreign agent because of previous work she had done on behalf of the president of Georgia. DeSantis defended her in the face of the criticism, calling it a “smear” against his press secretary.
Her decision to resign her post in the governor’s office to work on the campaign side wasn’t a surprise. Pushaw retweeted a copy of her resignation letter on Friday along with a brief remark: “Now, the gloves are off.”
The Florida Standard, a conservative news site in the state, first reported Pushaw’s resignation.
She’s expected to serve as the director of rapid response for DeSantis’s reelection campaign, a position that will almost certainly allow her to reprise her role as the governor’s most aggressive defender. Bryan Griffin, the deputy press secretary for DeSantis’s office, will replace Pushaw as the press secretary at the governor’s office.
DeSantis himself is a polarizing figure. He became a rising star among conservatives in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic for his pushback against federal public health experts and his disdain for coronavirus-related restrictions.
Democrats, meanwhile, have sought to cast DeSantis as a fringe political figure with an “authoritarian streak,” arguing that he’s pushed the limits of his power to punish his critics and implement a hard-line agenda.
Still, he appears in a solid position to win a second term in the governor’s mansion in November. He faces no primary opposition and polling shows him leading both of his top Democratic challengers, Rep. Charlie Crist and state Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried. | https://fox8.com/hill-politics/desantis-press-secretary-christina-pushaw-resigns-from-governors-office-to-join-his-campaign/ | 2022-08-12T20:27:39Z | https://fox8.com/hill-politics/desantis-press-secretary-christina-pushaw-resigns-from-governors-office-to-join-his-campaign/ | false | 15 |

Norton MP Temba Mliswa has leaked WhatsApp texts he says are chat messages between Susan Mutami and Kenneth Musanhi.
In the alleged chats, Mutami tries to woo Mashonaland Central politburo member Kenneth Musanhi who is having none of it. Susan Mutami accuses him of dumping her to which he denies adding that they were never in a relationship but were friends.
In the messages, Susan appears to praise President Mnangagwa, SB Moyo and Mudha Ncube writing, “I wouldn’t be the woman I am today if it wasn’t for them.” Many will question the timing of the alleged leaks as they come weeks after Susan went public accusing Mnangagwa of raping her.
See below:
Musanhi accuses Susan Mutami of getting close to him using false pretences. The Zanu-PF politician says he thought Susan wanted to donate equipment but it turned out it was a guise to get close to him. You can read the leaked chat below:
In the alleged chats, Susan also denies having a child with the late Foreign Affairs Minister Sibusiso Moyo whom she said was the father of her firstborn son on Twitter. It is not clear if she only said this to put Musanhi at ease so that they could have a relationship or if that is the truth.

Robinhood Settles Customer Suit for $10 Million
Robinhood (HOOD) customers who complained about the brokerage's repeated outages in 2020 will finally receive compensation for not being able to buy or sell stocks on several trading days when the market rallied.
The brokerage, which has paid a number of fines to regulators in recent months, agreed to pay its customers $9.9 million in a settlement, according to documents filed with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on Aug. 5.
The trading app which has been slashing jobs, will pay around 150,000 Robinhood users who complained about several outages in March 2020 during the stock market's historical rally.
"Plaintiffs submit that a 50% recovery in a complex case involving an unprecedented Outage is a significant recovery that will meaningfully compensate Settlement Class Members for their proposed losses," according to the settlement agreement. "The Settlement further allows Settlement Class Member that have initiated other legal proceedings against Robinhood or is unhappy with the Settlement Payment, to opt-out and preserve their rights."
Robinhood's Repeated 2020 Outages
The customers said in their lawsuit that they were harmed by the service outages and lost about $20.4 million because they were unable to place trades.
The first outage occurred on March 2, 2020 and extended into March 3 while another one took place on March 9, 2020, according to court documents.
The customers allege that the outage on March 2 lasted nearly the entire time the New York Stock Exchange was open, giving them a total of three minutes to make any trades. When Robinhood suffered an outage on March 2, the Dow Jones rose by 1,294 points, the largest point gain in history while the Nasdaq rose by 384 points, impacting its customers who were unable to participate in the rally.

Other Legal Problems
Robinhood recently lost in its efforts to avoid a court challenge over its behavior during the so-called meme-stock craze in early 2021.
U.S. District Court Judge Cecilia Altonaga in Miami said on Aug. 11 that investors who owned shares of AMC Entertainment AMC and GameStop GME plus seven other stocks can move forward with a proposed class action lawsuit.
The lawsuit alleges that the restrictions set by Robinhood artificially pushed down share prices when it banned investors from buying shares of stocks that were trading heavily in January 2021 such as GameStop and AMC.
The stocks rallied in early 2021 when investors on social media generated massive interest in the companies as potential short-squeeze targets, sending shares to new all-time highs. Some retail investors were restricted from trading several stocks by brokerages such as Robinhood while some hedge funds faced large losses when they bet against the so-called meme stocks.
The one-day period when Robinhood halted the ability of its customers to buy certain stocks occurred when its clearinghouse sought $3 billion in cash. The requirement was set by the National Securities Clearing Corporation.
Robinhood also limited the number of shares investors could purchase in some heavily traded stocks for a temporary period of time.
Robinhood Has History of Paying Fines
Robinhood was also fined $30 million by New York's Department of Financial Services because it was accused of violating anti-money laundering and cybersecurity regulations. The New York State Department of Financial Services announced on Aug. 2 it issued its first enforcement in the crypto sector.
The brokerage has been under the scrutiny of various regulators over the past couple of years and has paid another $135 million in fines already. In 2020, the brokerage paid $65 million after the SEC said it mislead customers. Robinhood also paid a $70 million fine in 2021 after the industry's regulator, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, said it mislead customers and was responsible for outages. | https://www.thestreet.com/investing/robinhood-settles-customer-suit-for-10-million | 2022-08-12T20:37:04Z | https://www.thestreet.com/investing/robinhood-settles-customer-suit-for-10-million | true | 1 |
The Latino Victory Fund endorsed a candidate Friday in a newly drawn New York House district where 12 Democrats are fighting for a wide-open nomination.
The group’s endorsement of New York City Council member Carlina Rivera comes two days after the race’s first televised debate drew blood among its six participants, but no knockout punches.
Rivera, who is considered among the favorites in a race that includes incumbent Rep. Mondaire Jones (D) and former Rep. Liz Holtzman (D), has already been endorsed by two top New York City Hispanic politicians, Democratic Reps. Adriano Espaillat and Nydia Velázquez.
“Carlina is a dedicated advocate and an experienced public servant who has worked tirelessly to improve the quality of life of her community. She’s an effective, no-nonsense legislator with a proven track record as a city council member and the grit to get things done in Washington,” said Latino Victory Fund President and CEO Nathalie Rayes in a statement.
A recent Data for Progress poll of the district’s voters showed Rivera in the lead, albeit with the support of only 17 percent of surveyed voters, leading Assemblywoman Yuh-Line Niou by only 3 percentage points, less than the poll’s 4 percentage point margin of error.
The wild primary race claimed a high-profile victim shortly after that poll came out, as former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio dropped out with sagging numbers.
New York’s primary election day is Aug. 23.
The wide field has turned the race into a slugfest of endorsements, with Democratic groups and elected officials spreading support across the array of candidates.
In backing Rivera, Latino Victory joins Espaillat and Velázquez, as well as a half-dozen labor groups and environmental, LGBT rights, Latino and animal welfare organizations.
Rivera’s signature projects have centered around homelessness and climate resiliency infrastructure, an issue that her debate opponents tried to turn against her.
In Wednesday’s debate, Rivera’s opponents called out her support of the East Side Coastal Resiliency project, a plan to raise some Manhattan coastlines by up to eight feet, arguing Rivera pushed the project through without sufficient community engagement.
But Rivera retorted that her opponents were new to the district, saying the project was necessary and required “political courage” to push through.
Rivera’s candidacy is also a boon for Hispanic progressives, who are looking to grow Hispanic representation in Congress in a complicated national election year.
“This newly drawn congressional seat presents a prime opportunity to increase Latino representation in Congress and strengthen the Latina delegation in the U.S. House, which remains severely underrepresented,” said Rayes.
