Matt Stang, Co-founder and CEO of Delic, and Kevin Nicholson, COO of Delic, have been elevated to Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, respectively.
VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Delic Holdings Corp ("Delic" or the "Company") (CSE: DELC) (OTCQB: DELCF) (FRA: 6X0), a leader in new medicines and treatments for a modern world, today shared details regarding two executive appointments. Matt Stang, co-founder and CEO of Delic, has been appointed to the role of Executive Chairman. Kevin Nicholson, COO of Delic, will transition into the role of Chief Executive Officer in addition to joining the company's Board of Directors. He also serves as the CEO of Ketamine Wellness Centers (KWC) and will continue in this role.
Stang owned and operated High Times, a leading source of cannabis news, for 17 years prior to co-founding Delic. Under Stang's leadership, Delic acquired KWC in November 2021 to become the nation's largest ketamine therapy provider. He also led the Company to more than USD$1.5MM in total revenue last year and increased net assets 500% from USD$2.1MM in 2020 to USD$10MM in its first full year of operation. Delic remains committed to providing value-based, effective and accessible treatments that meet the diverse needs of patients across the country.
"As the conversation around psychedelics evolves and gains momentum, Delic will continue to remain at the forefront. It is a privilege to continue as the company's Executive Chairman and to work closely with the prestigious Board of Directors under Kevin's leadership," said Stang. "I am highly confident that together we will continue to guide the company in its next phase of growth and further modernize healthcare."
As CEO of KWC, Nicholson is leading the largest, most respected ketamine provider in the U.S. His ability to grow the company has generated an annual revenue of more than USD$4MM and has seen KWC approach 100,000 treatments to date for clinically eligible patients. Nicholson's guidance and personal commitment has ensured that KWC remains aligned with its mission-driven culture by offering best-in-class patient care to individuals suffering from significant mood disorders or chronic pain.
"Matt has been a tremendous, highly effective leader since co-founding Delic and has grown this company into the success it is today. I am grateful for his leadership and humbled to continue as CEO during such a pivotal moment in our industry," said Nicholson. "We are leveraging and growing our umbrella of businesses, including the nation's largest network of ketamine clinics, KWC, and look forward to expanding in 2022. Alongside Delic's Board of Directors, I am committed to continuing Delic's mission of providing effective, affordable treatment options to anyone who needs them and educating on the safety and long-term benefits of these new therapies."
In accordance with the Company's Share Compensation Plan, Delic has granted 4,600,000 stock options to certain officers, directors, employees, and consultants to purchase 4,600,000 subordinate voting shares. Each option grant vests in three equal installments, six, twelve and eighteen months from the date of issue. Each option is exercisable, once vested, for a period of three years from the date of grant at an exercise price of C$0.10 per subordinate voting share.
Delic is a leader in new medicines and treatments for a modern world, improving access to health benefits across the country and reframing the conversation on psychedelics. The company owns and operates an umbrella of related businesses, including the largest chain of psychedelic wellness clinics in the country, Ketamine Wellness Centers; the only licensed entity by Health Canada to focus exclusively on research and development of psilocybin vaporization technology, Delic Labs; the premier psychedelic wellness event, Meet Delic; and trusted media and e-commerce platforms Reality Sandwich and Delic Radio.

Deaf Strictly Come Dancing champion Rose Ayling-Ellis unveils groundbreaking Barbie doll with hearing aids
Strictly Come Dacing reigning champion Rose Ayling-Ellis has unveiled the world’s first Barbie doll with behind-the-ear hearing aids.
Part of the Mattel’s Rose, Barbie and Friends campaign – which also features the first Ken doll with vitiligo, one with a prosthetic limb and another with a wheelchair – the doll was created in consultation with experts to accurately portray the hearing aids.
“It’s so important for children to be able to see themselves represented in the toys they play with,” said the EastEnders actor, who has been deaf since birth.
“When I was little, I would draw hearing aids on to my Barbie dolls to make them look like me, so I am thrilled that Mattel is releasing more dolls that encourage kids to celebrate and embrace their differences.”
Hearing loss can occur for a variety of reasons, and there may come a time when someone you know chooses to wear one or two hearing aids, which work by receiving sound through a microphone and amplifying it in the ear.
“Getting hearing aids is a really positive step and can be life changing for people with hearing loss,” says Franki Oliver, audiology adviser at RNID (rnid.org.uk).
“But they can take a while to get used to as your friend or family member’s brain readjusts to hearing sounds they have forgotten, and they get used to putting hearing aids in their ears.”
Here, Oliver explains how you can support someone as they adjust to life with hearing aids.
Be positive – but patient
It might take a couple of months for a person to get used to their hearing aids, which is why it’s important to be patient and supportive.
“Focus on the positive experiences of the hearing aids and assure them that you can help them manage any difficulties they experience,” Oliver says.
“If your family member still seems to be struggling – for example struggling to insert the hearing aid or complaining that it still isn’t comfortable, or that sound isn’t comfortable after consistently wearing them over a month – encourage them to make an appointment with their audiologist or private provider, or contact RNID for support.”
Don’t joke about it
“It sounds obvious, but many people with hearing loss say friends and family often treat it as a joke or make fun of them, saying ‘What?’ or ‘Pardon?’” Oliver says.
“You wouldn’t joke about another disability, and this kind of attitude may make your friend or family member feel upset or self-conscious about their new hearing aids.”
And definitely don’t ask to try it on, she adds: “Would you really want to try something on that’s been inside someone’s ear?”
Don’t make insensitive comments
On the other hand, you might think you’re being sympathetic by saying things like, ‘You can hardly see it!’ or, ‘I’m so sorry’, but that’s not the case.
Oliver says: “Even though your intentions may be good, these kind of comments can suggest that hearing aids are something to hide or be ashamed of. Newsflash: they’re not!
“Instead, celebrate the fact they’ve got hearing aids, focus on the positive impact they have had in their day-to-day life and keep checking in to make sure they’re getting all the benefits they should from them.”
Help in social situations
Unlike, for example, glasses with sight, hearing aids don’t restore normal hearing, so on a practical level, there are several steps you can take to help in social situations.
“Your friend or family member may still miss parts of conversation, especially if there is a lot of background noise or lots of people talking,” Oliver explains.
“You may need to get their attention before speaking, sit facing them so they can lip-read, or make sure you’re in a well lit room with no background noise.”
If in doubt, ask. “Different people have different communication preferences, so ask what you can do to make communication easier.”

Putin blasts US ‘hegemony’ and predicts the end of a ‘unipolar’ world order
Russian President Vladimir Putin accused the United States of trying to encourage extended hostilities in Ukraine as part of what he described on Tuesday as Washington’s alleged efforts to maintain its global hegemony.
Addressing a security conference attended by military officials from Africa, Asia and Latin America, Mr Putin reaffirmed his long-held claim that he sent troops into Ukraine in response to Washington turning the country into an “anti-Russia” bulwark.
“They need conflicts to retain their hegemony,” Mr Putin said.
“That’s why they have turned the Ukrainian people into cannon fodder.
“The situation in Ukraine shows that the United States is trying to drag the conflict out, and it acts in exactly the same way trying to fuel conflicts in Asia, Africa and Latin America.”
The speech represented the latest attempt by the Russian leader to rally support amid bruising Western sanctions that targeted the Russian economy and finance along with its government structures, top officials and businesses over Moscow’s action in Ukraine.
Mr Putin also drew parallels between the US backing Ukraine and a recent visit to Taiwan by US House speaker Nancy Pelosi, charging that both were part of an alleged US attempt to foment global instability.
“The American adventure in Taiwan wasn’t just a trip by an irresponsible politician.
“It was part of a deliberate and conscious US strategy intended to destabilise the situation and create chaos in the region and the entire world, a blatant demonstration of disrespect for another country’s sovereignty and its own international obligations,” Mr Putin said.
The Russian leader claimed that “Western globalist elites” were trying “to shift the blame for their own failures to Russia and China”, adding that “no matter how hard the beneficiaries of the current globalist model try to cling to it, it’s doomed”.
”The era of the unipolar world order is nearing its end,” he added.
Speaking at the same conference, Russian defence minister Sergei Shoigu said that along with supplies of weapons to Ukraine, Western allies have also provided detailed intelligence information and deployed instructors to help the Ukrainian military operate the weapons systems.
“Western intelligence agencies not only have provided target co-ordinates for launching strikes, but Western specialists also have overseen the input of those data into weapons systems,” Mr Shoigu said.
He dismissed allegations that Russia could potentially use nuclear or chemical weapons in the conflict as an “absolute lie”.
“From the military viewpoint, there is no need for using nuclear weapons in Ukraine to achieve the stated goals,” Mr Shoigu said.
“The main mission of the Russian nuclear forces is providing a deterrent against a nuclear attack.”
He added that the claims of a possible chemical attack by Russia were equally “absurd”, saying that Moscow fully liquidated its chemical weapons stockpiles in compliance with an international treaty banning chemical weapons.

KYIV, Ukraine — Massive explosions and fires hit a military depot in Russia-annexed Crimea on Tuesday, forcing the evacuation of more than 3,000 people, the second time in recent days that the Ukraine war's focus has turned to the contested peninsula.
Russia blamed the blasts at an ammunition storage facility in Mayskoye on an "act of sabotage" without naming the perpetrators. As with last week's explosions, they led to speculation that Ukrainian forces may have staged an attack on the peninsula, which Russia has controlled since 2014.
Separately, the Russian business newspaper Kommersant quoted local residents as saying that plumes of black smoke also rose over an air base in Crimea's Gvardeyskoye.
Ukraine has stopped short of publicly claiming responsibility for any of the fires or explosions, including last week's at another air base that destroyed nine Russian planes. If Ukrainian forces were, in fact, responsible for any of the explosions, they would represent a significant escalation in the war.
Videos posted on social media showed thick plumes of smoke rising over raging flames in Mayskoye, and a series of explosions could be heard in the background. The Russian Defense Ministry said the fires at the depot caused damage to a power plant, power lines, rail tracks and some apartment buildings. It said in a statement that "there were no serious injuries."
Earlier, Russia's state news agency RIA Novosti reported a fire a transformer substation after "a loud thump sound" in what appeared to be a result of the blasts at the depot.
Crimea holds huge strategic and symbolic significance for Russia and Ukraine. The Kremlin's demand that Kyiv recognize the peninsula as part of Russia has been one of its key conditions for ending the fighting, while Ukraine has vowed to drive the Russians from the peninsula and all other occupied territories.
The district where the blasts happened, Dzhankoi, is in the north of the peninsula, about 50 kilometers (30 miles) from the Russian-controlled region of Kherson in southern Ukraine. Kyiv has recently mounted a series of attacks on various sites in the region, targeting supply routes for the Russian military there and ammunition depots.
Last week's explosions at Saki air base sent sunbathers on nearby beaches fleeing as huge flames and pillars of smoke rose over the horizon. Ukrainian officials emphasized Tuesday that Crimea — which is a popular destination for Russian tourists — would not be spared the ravages of war experienced throughout Ukraine.
Rather than a travel destination, "Crimea occupied by Russians is about warehouses explosions and high risk of death for invaders and thieves," Ukraine presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak said on Twitter, though he did not claim any Ukraine responsibility for the blasts.
Crimea's regional leader, Sergei Aksyonov, said that two people were injured and more than 3,000 evacuated from the villages of Mayskoye and Azovskoye near Dzhankoi following the munitions depot explosions. who can we attribute the injured to?
Because the explosions damaged rail tracks, some trains in northern Crimea were diverted to other lines.
The Russian military blamed last week's blasts at the Saki air base on an accidental detonation of munitions there, but it appeared to be the result of a Ukrainian attack.
Ukrainian officials at the time stopped short of publicly claiming responsibility for the explosions, while mocking Russia's explanation that a careless smoker might have caused the ammunition to catch fire. Analysts also said that explanation doesn't make sense and that the Ukrainians could have used anti-ship missiles to strike the base.
A British Defense Ministry intelligence update said vessels in Russia's Black Sea Fleet "continue to pursue an extremely defensive posture" in the waters off Crimea, with the ships barely venturing out of sight of the coastline.
Russia already lost its flagship Moskva in the Black Sea and last month the Ukrainian military retook the strategic Snake Island outpost off Ukraine's southwestern coast. It is vital for guaranteeing sea lanes out of Odesa, Ukraine's biggest port.
The Russian fleet's "limited effectiveness undermines Russia's overall invasion strategy," the British statement said. "This means Ukraine can divert resources to press Russian ground forces elsewhere."
Meanwhile, in the Donbas, which has been the focus of the fighting in recent months, one civilian was killed in Russian shelling, and two others wounded, according to the Ukrainian governor of the Donetsk region, Pavlo Kyrylenko.
In Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, one civilian was killed and nine others were wounded by Russian shelling, regional governor Oleh Syniehubov said. He added that the overnight attack on the city was "one of the most massive shelling of Kharkiv in recent days."
Officials in the central region of Dniprotpetrovsk also reported shelling of the Nikopol and the Kryvyi Rih districts.

Global business travel won't see full recovery until 2026: report
Tuesday August 16 2022
Inflation, supply chain problems and ongoing Covid-19 lockdowns in China are among the factors conspiring to delay a full recovery in business travel to its pre-pandemic level, according to an industry forecast released Monday.
The Global Business Travel Association now projects business travel will regain its 2019 level of $1.43 trillion in mid-2026, 18 months later than predicted in the group's last forecast in November.
"Recovery has hit some headwinds," GBTA said in a statement that outlined a gradual improvement from a 2020 low of $661 billion until reaching $1.47 trillion in 2026.
"The factors impacting many industries around the world are also anticipated to impact global business travel recovery into 2025," said Suzanne Neufang, the association's chief executive.
The group said recovery was "short-circuited" in late 2021 and early 2022 by the Omicron variant of Covid-19, but that trips surged after that once Covid cases fell.
Major obstacles to a full recovery include high energy prices, labor shortages, Covid lockdowns, regional impacts due to the war in Ukraine and sustainability concerns. | https://www.ntv.co.ug/ug/news/international/global-business-travel-won-t-see-full-recovery-until-2026-report-3915830 | 2022-08-16T11:51:40Z | https://www.ntv.co.ug/ug/news/international/global-business-travel-won-t-see-full-recovery-until-2026-report-3915830 | true | 12 |

Undrafted wide receiver Shemar Bridges generated some buzz Thursday night with his outstanding performance against the Tennessee Titans in the preseason opener, but it’s just part of his long journey to the NFL.
The 6-foot-4, 207-pound rookie out of Division II Fort Valley State finished with four catches for 62 yards, including a leaping 38-yard catch and a 14-yard touchdown grab.
Finally, the Ravens had a receiver who could make acrobatic catches and not fall down when he caught a pass over the middle, or bolt for the sidelines.
But Thursday night was only a glimpse of Bridges’ potential. He is basically still a raw talent.
“He’s a good young prospect that’s really flashing,” said Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman. “All of those young guys, they’re working every day on those different tools, and I think he is a very diligent worker. Everyone has room for improvement, but I’m really happy with where he is at and what he’s shown so far.
“But he’s right at the beginning of his journey, so there is a lot of work to be done yet, and a lot of experience to be had. But he’s doing a nice job.”
Those words might be disheartening for some young players, but not Bridges. Despite his speed, large frame, strong hands and leaping ability, he needs to improve on his route running and hand placement. He’s getting too extended and his hands are too far away from his body when catching the ball.
Bridges, though, likes the challenge. He attended The Potter’s House High School, a small Christian Academy in Jacksonville not known for turning out college football players. He eventually went to Tusculum University in Tennessee before transferring to Fort Valley State, a historically Black university in Georgia.
Bridges, 24, appeared in only 16 games at Fort Valley State because his seasons were cut short by coronavirus concerns and injuries, but he still had 98 career receptions for 1,358 yard and seven touchdowns.
That wasn’t enough to get him invited to the annual NFL Scouting Combine, but it was enough for the Ravens to offer him a tryout in training camp — some teams only offered him a brief look in minicamps.
“I came out of high school as a late bloomer and once I got to Fort Valley, we had the COVID issues, so I thought it would be better for me to wait and put in another year,” said Bridges. “It took me a little longer to get here but I’m just happy to be here. I appreciate everything I went through because it made me stronger.
“Some ups and downs, some bumpy roads, but God blessed me to be here. I give all the glory to my Lord and savior Jesus Christ that I’m here. I’m just thankful for the Ravens for giving me an opportunity. I’m just trying to make the most of it.”
Bridges’ successes in training camp have outweighed his setbacks. Like most young players, there is a constant battle between fatigue and focus, and he’s dropped a few passes. He also needs to be smoother going in and out of breaks.
There is potential for Bridges to be that “big-body” wideout. He uses his body like a power forward or former Ravens receiver Anquan Boldin. You get position and shield the ball away from defenders.
Then there is the vertical leap, which is harder than most people realize. It’s not just about positioning but timing the jump and having the finger strength to bring it down. It could be a luxury for the Ravens, whose starting receivers, on average, are about 6 feet tall.
Every quarterback loves a big receiver in the red zone. In college, Bridges had only one coach. In Baltimore, he has two positional coaches in wide receivers coach Tee Martin and the highly animated Keith Williams, the team’s pass game specialist. Both have hastened Bridges’ development.
“They treat you like regular guys. They can get on you in the room, but you can also sit with them, laugh and joke,” Bridges said. “They are very personal.
“I feel like I’m a big receiver who can play big. But also, I feel like I’m learning how to run routes and being able to be flexible and versatile with my size, to catch over people and to box people out.”
The key to Bridges making the final roster could come down to him playing on special teams. If he is a second- or third-team receiver, he has to be able to contribute in some other way like former Ravens receiver Miles Boykin, who was a gunner on the punt team. The Ravens are leaving Bridges an option.
“It’s like all the young guys; he has got to come out here, and he’s just got to compete,” said special teams coach Chris Horton. “Shemar, he has done a good job, and we’ve got to just find ways to put him in the right position and just let him go play. But he’ll get a chance to showcase his skills [as a gunner]. He’s just got to keep working.”
Oh, he will. Bridges doesn’t know any other way. His journey will be nearly complete if he makes the initial 53-man roster.
“I just have to keep grinding and keep working,” he said. “And, stay humble.”

Samsung has finally announced the prices of its latest foldables in India, including the Galaxy Z Fold4 and Galaxy Z Flip4. Both the devices were recently launched by the company for the global market. While the devices were available for pre-orders in India, their prices weren't revealed. But now, Samsung has revealed all the memory variants of the device and their prices for Indian consumers. The pre-booking is available in India till August 17 mid-night. Take a look at the prices ahead.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 Official Price in India
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 has been revealed in India and will be available in three different memory variants. The three variants are:
a) 12GB+256GB = Rs 1,54,999
b) 12GB+512GB = Rs 1,64,999
c) 12GB+1TB = Rs 1,84,999
The Galaxy Z Fold4 will be available in three colours - Graygreen, Phantom Black, and Beige.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 and Galaxy Z Flip4 Pre-Booking Offers in India Explained
Users can get an exchange discount of up to Rs 41,390 if they are ordering the smartphone from Samsung's website. Also, the 1TB memory variant is exclusively available on the official website of Samsung India. There are some pre-reservation benefits that consumers will get if they book it through Samsung.
First of all, Samsung is offering the 'Wireless Charge Duo' worth Rs 5,199 for absolutely free with this device. Then, users can purchase the Galaxy Watch4 Classic worth Rs 34,999 for Rs 2,999 only. There's an instant cashback or discount of Rs 8,000 with the HDFC Bank card. Samsung is also offering the 20K Advantage, wherein customers will be eligible to receive a Rs 2,000 more discount on the Samsung Shop app. Samsung Care which is normally available for Rs 11,999, will be given at Rs 6,000 to the people pre-booking the device. Thus, pre-booking the device makes sense if you are really serious about purchasing this smartphone. Note that the same pre-booking offers are also available for the Galaxy Z Flip4.

Flash flooding could hit Norfolk as weather warning continues
- Credit: Ian Burt
Flash flooding could occur anywhere in Norfolk today with thunderstorms forecast to hit the county.
Norwich-based forecaster Weatherquest has warned of flash floods, alongside a yellow weather warning from the Met Office.
Thunderstorms and torrential rain are forecast to begin at midday today with the entire region hit with continuous showers and thundery rain.
The storm will continue into the evening and will let up on Wednesday evening, when the weather warning ends.
This high quantity of rain combined with the dryness of the ground makes flash flooding more likely.
Following a prolonged dry spell, flash flooding is more likely due to the speed and quantity of the rain combined with how dry and hard the ground is.
The soil cannot absorb the moisture so it pools on the surface or it runs off and gathers elsewhere.
Weatherquest has said that there is no one area of the region that is more likely to be affected by flash flooding due to the ground being equally hard everywhere.
It will not just be areas near bodies of water that will be affected but drains and gardens too. Weatherquest said the ground will act like concrete.

If you’re worried about economic volatility, you’re not alone. A recent survey from Magnify Money found that seven in 10 Americans expect a recession, and 59% expect one within the next six months. The survey also found that more than two-thirds of respondents don’t feel prepared.
As economists and politicians debate the current state of the economy, it’s not uncommon for the rest of us to worry after a quick glance at a retirement fund statement. “It’s natural to feel some unease amid very volatile and uncertain economic conditions,” says personal finance expert and former CNBC reporter Lynnette Khalfani-Cox, author of Zero Debt: The Ultimate Guide to Financial Freedom. “But there are things that you can do to make sure that you are not going to emotionally overburden yourself with fear, panic, and worry.” There are economic cycles all the time, and they may not affect you the way you fear, she says.
If you want to feel more in control of your finances, no matter what the future holds, experts say these tips may help.
Check your cash flow
To get a snapshot of your financial health, start with your income and expenses, which can give you a better sense of control during volatile times, says personal finance coach Annette Harris. What do you bring in every month from all sources, including employment, side gigs, and any investments? Is it enough to cover your expenses and devote money to savings?
Then, take a close look at your expenses. You may not need to make massive cuts, but there are likely areas where you can cut back without feeling any pain and devote that money to savings, Khalfani-Cox says. For example, recent research by C+R Research found that people spend roughly 2.5 times what they think they’re spending on subscriptions to streaming services, music, clothing, and other items—some of which they may not even be using. A few cuts there can add up to hundreds or thousands of dollars per year.
Adjust your tax payments
It’s not uncommon for people to let employers take out a little more in withholding or pay a little more in estimated taxes so that they get a fat tax refund. It’s like a little windfall. But, these days, the Internal Revenue Service employees are struggling to keep up with demands on their time and refunds are increasingly delayed, says Wendy Barlin, CPA, author of That’s Deductible! Simple Tips and Tricks to Find More Business Tax Deductions. Instead, free up that money so that you have greater cash flow, which you may be able to use to beef up your savings.
Examine—then trust—your plan
Most conventional wisdom says “stay the course” when it comes to long-term investing. Whether you worked with a financial adviser or are simply following the good advice to max out your retirement savings, it’s almost never advisable to change based on emotions, Khalfani-Cox says. However, this might be a good time to check in with the financial professionals in your life, including your accountant, insurance broker, and financial adviser, to ensure that you’re financially on track and properly insured.
If the volatility of the market is distressing you, you might have too much risk exposure for your tolerance, and your investments may need to be reallocated to make you more comfortable. And while you generally don’t want to try to “time the market” by cashing out and trying to predict when an investment will be on the upswing again, there may be reasons to sell, including tax savings opportunities (writing off losses) and planned sell orders (existing orders to sell when an investment drops below a certain price point), she says. Otherwise, avoid looking at your statements too frequently and stick to your plan, she says. And if you’re investing in your employer-sponsored retirement plan and getting a matching contribution, keep doing that; it’s found money, she says.
Rethink your emergency fund
Conventional wisdom says that you should have three to six months’ expenses on hand in savings on hand in an easily accessible emergency fund. But Khalfani-Cox recommends a different approach. Keep a smaller amount on hand—perhaps a thousand dollars or so—in a savings account as your “emergency fund.” But put the rest of that money in a “rainy day” fund account that offers better returns, she says. You may need a few hundred dollars immediately for an unexpected expense, but the rest should be put where it can do some earning for you. Consider accounts such as a high-yield savings account—now that interest rates are increasing, an online bank or credit union may offer accounts with healthy returns—or even a short-term certificate of deposit (CD) to get a little more yield.
Consider a side-hustle
If you’re looking for ways to beef up your cash flow or savings, consider a side-hustle, Barlin says. Your job may lend itself to some freelance work (if that doesn’t violate your employment agreement). Or you may be able to pick up some extra income through a second job, side business, or gig platform. “I love gig work,” Barlin says. “In tough times, it helps with extra income. In good times, it pays for extra things.” Just be careful of multi-level marketing “opportunities” where you need to put up money upfront and may not get much in return.
Bonus tip: Once you start making money be sure to put aside at least 15% of your income for estimated quarterly taxes, Barlin adds. Then, remit them according to the annual IRS deadlines.
Invest in yourself
Harris says that one area where you should splurge is on yourself and staying marketable, especially if you’re at risk of losing your job. It’s a good time to make use of employer benefits like tuition reimbursement and learning and development programs that can help you polish or acquire skills that are in-demand, such as technology that is popular in your industry, soft skills, and management skills. If your employer doesn’t offer such opportunities, review free or low-cost options like LinkedIn Learning, Coursera, or other online course options to help you keep up with changing job demands.
Checking on your finances, beefing up your cash flow, and preparing yourself if you need to make a change can all help you feel more in control during uncertain economic times. | https://www.fastcompany.com/90775750/6-things-to-do-now-if-youre-worried-about-a-recession?partner=feedburner&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feedburner+fastcompany&utm_content=feedburner | 2022-08-16T12:11:53Z | https://www.fastcompany.com/90775750/6-things-to-do-now-if-youre-worried-about-a-recession?partner=feedburner&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feedburner+fastcompany&utm_content=feedburner | true | 3 |
In My View: Why scrimmage against each other?
DETROIT, Mich. (WILX) - The high schools and NFL teams all scrimmage one another in pre season.
Why don’t the colleges do it? All they do is practice against each other. If they had a four team scrimmage in August in Spartan Stadium and had a mild charge they could give it all to charity and it would be a worthwhile day.
Fans would get more excited and practices would have more spirit in many ways in my view. Like I say the high schools and pro teams practice against each other in pre season, but the colleges are always the last ones to figure out sensible ways of doing business, again in my view.

Review: Kristin Chenoweth in Concert at Colorado Symphony
If you want to view paradise, go see Kristin Chenoweth in concert.
If you want to view paradise, go see Kristin Chenoweth in concert. In her recent engagement with the Colorado Symphony, the legendary good witch cast a captivating spell over the audience from the moment she took the stage of Denver's own Boettcher Hall. The long-running Broadway musical, Wicked, was a turning point not just in musical theatre repertoire but in my own life and my relationship with the art form. The opportunity to see Glinda herself was not one I could miss - nor one I will soon forget.
From start to finish, Kristin Chenoweth was a sight for sore eyes singing beautiful music to the ears. Aside from her vocal prowess, her personality is also light and pure. There is a sense of community building through performance that you can tell means so much to her that it becomes in integral part of the audience experience. The Colorado Symphony, again, showcased why they are one of the top orchestra in the country. Under the direction of visiting Imagination Artist - and personal friend of Kristin - Mary-Mitchell Campbell took to the podium, leading the orchestra seamlessly along to Kristin's spectacular vocals. The repertoire spanned a nice variety, including songs you might expect such as a standing-ovation worthy performance of Popular, a captivating performance of Bring Him Home, and a healthy dose of female empowerment, performing such hits alongside her backup singers as You Don't Own Me and I'm A Woman.
Speaking of her backup singers, each brought their own soul and experience to the stage. A fierce beltress, Marissa Rosen showcased her abilities in all the right ways. The soul songstress herself, Melinda Doolittle, was also a welcome surprise. Taking bronze in the sixth season of American Idol, Doolittle was one of my favorites that season so the teenager in me was excited beyond belief. Chenoweth went out of her way to make space for these to performances to do more than "oohs" and "aahs" in the background. Throughout the concert, she addressed the young artists in the room and at one point said something along the lines of, "When you know and are confident in who you are, you can celebrate other people."
Part of Kristin's charm is her personality; her kindness. But it is her musical intuition that I find most astonishing. Her encore performance of The Way We Were was the perfect balance of both ideas.

- Independent Data Monitoring Committee Recommends Continuing Study with Sample Size Target of up to 350 Patients – up to Additional 230 Patients to be Enrolled
- No Safety Concerns Identified
- Topline Results Currently Expected Second Quarter Calendar 2023
CRANBURY, N.J., Aug. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Palatin Technologies, Inc. (NYSE American: PTN), a biopharmaceutical company developing first-in-class medicines based on molecules that modulate the activity of the melanocortin and natriuretic peptide receptor systems, today announced the results of a planned interim analysis of the Phase 3 pivotal study of PL9643 (MELODY-1) in patients with dry eye disease (DED). The interim analysis included an assessment and review by the independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) of the efficacy and safety of the first 120 patients who had completed treatment. Based on their review, the DMC recommended the study continue with a study sample size target of up to 350 patients. No safety concerns were identified by the DMC.
The DMC's primary objective was to provide a recommendation on the final sample size based on an interim assessment using a conditional power modeling approach. The DMC had the option to recommend a final sample size of up to 600 patients. The DMC performed their assessment on the first 120 patients to complete the study and based on their recommendation, Palatin plans to enroll up to an additional 230 patients in the study for a final sample size of 350 patients. Topline results are expected in the second quarter of calendar 2023.
"We are highly encouraged by the DMC's recommendation to continue enrolling patients in this ongoing trial. The emerging data, including the safety and ocular tolerability, indicate that PL9643 could be a potentially safe and effective treatment for patients with DED," said Carl Spana, Ph.D., President and CEO of Palatin. "Based on trial results to date, we believe PL9643, with its differentiating factors, could provide a fast-acting and well-tolerated treatment option for the millions of patients suffering from DED, and we look forward to presenting topline results of this Phase 3 trial in the second quarter of calendar 2023."
The pivotal Phase 3 MELODY-1 clinical study is a multi-center, randomized, double–masked and vehicle–controlled study evaluating the safety and efficacy of the melanocortin agonist, PL9643 ophthalmic solution, compared to vehicle in patients with moderate-to-severe DED. The study design is based on positive Phase 2 results of PL9643 for the treatment of DED, and an end-of-phase 2 (EOP2) meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), reaching agreement on all key elements of a pivotal Phase 3 clinical program.
About Dry Eye Disease (DED)
Dry eye disease is a common inflammatory disease that, left untreated, can become extremely painful and lead to permanent damage to the cornea and vision. DED affects the cornea and conjunctiva of the eye resulting in irritation, redness, pain, and blurred vision. It is estimated to affect over 20 million people in the United States. The disease is characterized by insufficient moisture and lubrication in the anterior surface of the eye, leading to dryness, inflammation, pain, discomfort, irritation, diminished quality of life, and in severe cases, permanent vision impairment. Existing therapy for DED is generally regarded as inadequate by many physicians and patients, and often requires weeks or months to demonstrate activity.
About Melanocortin Receptor Agonists and Inflammation
The melanocortin receptor ("MCr") system has effects on inflammation, immune system responses, metabolism, food intake, and sexual function. There are five melanocortin receptors, MC1r through MC5r. Modulation of these receptors, through use of receptor-specific agonists, which activate receptor function, or receptor-specific antagonists, which block receptor function, can have medically significant pharmacological effects.
Many tissues and immune cells located in the eye (and other places, for example the gut and kidney) express melanocortin receptors, empowering our opportunity to directly activate natural pathways to resolve disease inflammation.

First drone school of Northeast launched by Assam government
Guwahati, Aug 16: The northeast has got its first remote pilot training school in Guwahati, as part of the central government's quest to make India a hub for drone technology, officials said. The Assam Electronics Development Corporation Ltd (AMTRON) has joined hands with EduRade, a start-up incubated at IIT-Guwahati, and IIM-Calcutta Innovation Park for the project.
The drone school was inaugurated by Assam's Information Technology Minister Keshab Mahanta on Tuesday. "Youths, after getting training from experts, can work anywhere in the country and in any sector," he said. The school will have trainers certified by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) for conducting the pilot licence training program, according to news agency PTI.
New chapter in modern agricultural facilities: PM Modi flags off 100 Kisan Drones
The facility has been set up at Tech City here, with its flying ground at the Assam Forest School in Jalukbari. AMTRON has acquired two micro categories (not over 2 kg) and two small categories (2-25 kg) of indigenous drones for the training purpose, the officials said. The first DGCA-approved drone training school in India was inaugurated in Haryana last year. | https://www.oneindia.com/guwahati/first-drone-school-of-northeast-launched-by-assam-government-3448690.html | 2022-08-16T12:18:44Z | https://www.oneindia.com/guwahati/first-drone-school-of-northeast-launched-by-assam-government-3448690.html | false | 5 |
Reading welcome Blackburn Rovers to the Select Car Leasing Stadium on Wednesday evening as they look to be the first team to take points off the visitors this season.
Jon Dahl Tomasson has had a positive start to life at the helm, with his side winning all three of their opening three fixtures. They’re the only EFL side to boast a 100% record and they’ll see tomorrow night as another opportunity to extend this.
Reading were widely tipped for relegation and after their summer was filled with turmoil their start to the season has been slow, however, the Royals have won one in their opening three, with their most recent outing a good 2-1 victory over Cardiff City, so maybe Paul Ince’s side have hit form.
Blackburn Rovers team news…
Scott Wharton will be out for a couple of weeks with a calf problem. Staying in defence, 17-year-old Ash Phillips suffered cramp last weekend against West Brom, but he should be fine for Reading.
Callum Brittain didn’t suffer an injury last weekend despite coming off at half-time. The substitution was thought to be due to the heat and Brittain should be fine for Wednesday evening.
Hayden Carter has been injured since before the opening game with a hamstring issue and if his recovery is going smoothly, fans can expect him back in around two weeks.
Sam Barnes is unfortunately a longer-term injury with the experienced defender set to miss the rest of the season after picking up an anterior cruciate ligament injury just days after the opening game of the season.
Predicted XI
(4-2-3-1)
Kaminski (GK)
Brittain
Phillips
Ayala
Pickering
Travis
Buckley
Hedges
Szmodics
Brereton Diaz
Gallagher
Tomasson has the ability to field an unchanged XI from Saturday’s clash against West Brom and given the fact his side won, it may be in his best interests to try and keep the same players to maintain the momentum they had in the last outing.
Reading will come into this one hoping to pull off an upset, however it’s fair to say their side will need to be on top of their game if they want to take anything from Rovers tomorrow night.
The match kicks off at 20:00 on Wednesday night. | https://the72.co.uk/2022/08/16/blackburn-rovers-team-news-and-predicted-xi-to-face-reading/ | 2022-08-16T12:19:19Z | https://the72.co.uk/2022/08/16/blackburn-rovers-team-news-and-predicted-xi-to-face-reading/ | true | 1 |

The scheme was switched on in Lowestoft in May in the main shopping areas of the town, as well as the seafront areas.
Supported by funding from the Getting Building Fund and New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership’s Innovative Projects fund, the new technology will be combined with bespoke business support in a bid to help local businesses and towns to grow.
The latest switch on also saw free Wi-Fi introduced in Woodbridge.
Councillor Stephen Burroughes, East Suffolk’s cabinet member for customer services, operational partnerships and digital transformation, said: “This is the latest ‘switch-on’ for free Wi-Fi zones in East Suffolk and both Southwold and Woodbridge will be able to enjoy the benefits already being enjoyed elsewhere in the district.
"This will make it easy for visitors and local people to get online when out and about.

Azul helps customers solve the cloud cost paradox and reduce Oracle Java licensing costs by up to 70 percent
SUNNYVALE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#APAC—Azul, the only company 100% focused on Java, today announced the appointment of Dean Vaughan as vice president to drive the company’s expansion throughout Asia Pacific.

“Asia Pacific presents a significant growth opportunity for Azul, and we are investing in our people, the channel and new product development to drive customer value,” said Ian Whiting, chief revenue officer, Azul. “With more than 25 years of experience in the technology industry, strong open-source background and a proven ability to scale high-performing teams while capturing market share, Dean is exactly the type of leader who will drive Azul’s success in the region.”

1 Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) is a non-GAAP operating metric. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Operating Metrics” for additional information regarding this metric.
2 Non-GAAP Gross profit and Non-GAAP gross margin are non-GAAP financial measures. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Operating Metrics” for additional information regarding this metric.
3 Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional information regarding this metric, including the reconciliations to Operating Profit (Loss), its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. The Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Operating Profit (Loss), its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort because items that impact this GAAP financial measure are not within the Company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. These items may include, but are not limited to, share based compensation expenses. Such information may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable impact on the Company’s future financial results.
Conference Call Information:
Global-e will host a conference call at 8:00 a.m. ET on Tuesday, August 16, 2022.
The call will be available, live, to interested parties by dialing:
A live webcast will also be available in the Investor Relations section of Global-e’s website at: https://investors.global-e.com/news-events/events-presentations
Approximately two hours after completion of the live call, an archived version of the webcast will be available on the Investor Relations section of the Company’s web site and will remain available for approximately 30 calendar days.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement Global-e’s financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP, Global-e considers certain financial measures and key performance metrics that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP including:
- Non-GAAP gross profit, which Global-e defines as gross profit excluding amortization of acquired intangibles. Non-GAAP gross margin is calculated Non-GAAP gross profit divided by revenues
- Adjusted EBITDA, which Global-e defines as operating profit (loss) adjusted for stock-based compensation expenses, depreciation and amortization, commercial agreements amortization, amortization of acquired intangibles, merger related contingent consideration and acquisition related expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it eliminates the impact of expenses that do not relate directly to the performance of the underlying business.
Global-e uses the Non-GAAP measures in conjunction with GAAP measures as part of Global-e’s overall assessment of its performance, including the preparation of Global-e’s annual operating budget and quarterly forecasts, to evaluate the effectiveness of Global-e’s business strategies, and to communicate with Global-e’s board of directors concerning its financial performance. The Non-GAAP measures are used by our management to understand and evaluate our operating performance and trends.
Global-e’s definition of Non-GAAP measures may differ from the definition used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. In addition, other companies may not publish these metrics or similar metrics. Furthermore, these metrics have certain limitations in that they do not include the impact of certain expenses that are reflected in our consolidated statement of operations that are necessary to run our business. Thus, Non -GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, not as substitutes for, or in isolation from, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Global-e also uses Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) as a key operating metric. Gross Merchandise Value or GMV is defined as the combined amount we collect from the shopper and the merchant for all components of a given transaction, including products, duties and taxes and shipping.
For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the reconciliation tables provided below.

Look, let’s face it. We’re in that point of the summer where there isn’t much going on in the world of professional hockey. Sure, some restricted free agents are avoiding arbitration and signing deals and we’re all still waiting to hear where Nazem Kadri ends up playing, but other than that nothing is really happening.
Here at Raw Charge we are getting ready to start breaking down the prospects, but voting is still open, so make sure you participate if you haven’t already. We will keep the poll open until Friday night.
In the meantime why not let us answer any questions that are on your mind about the Tampa Bay Lightning. Our crack staff is relaxing and refueling for the season, but are ready to answer your questions about our favorite team.

Ministers have been urged to offer subsidies to British farmers to restore natural habitats on the ‘least productive’ agricultural land.
New analysis suggests that the government must incentivise farmers to keep food yields high on ‘productive land’ while using less fertiliser and pesticides.
Think tank Green Alliance notes that reductions of a quarter are possible without loss of food production.
The authors of the report stress that nature restoration and carbon removal policies should be guided towards areas poorly suited to producing food.
They said: “Expecting every parcel of land to produce food, nature, carbon removal, recreation and flood abatement in equal measure is a recipe for failure.”
A Defra spokesperson told ELN: “The land-based subsidies retained from the EU did nothing for food production or the environment.
“We have always been clear that farming and the environment must go hand in hand. Healthy soils, abundant pollinators and clean water are the foundations of food production, which is why our new schemes will support farmers to adopt sustainable agricultural techniques and make space for nature.
“We have committed to maintain all of the agricultural funding this Parliament and it will be for each farmer to choose what agreement works best for their business.
“We have had significant interest in Landscape Recovery, and most applicants are farmers including tenants. We committed to follow demand for our schemes in a way that supports our outcomes.” | https://www.energylivenews.com/2022/08/16/government-urged-to-pay-farmers-to-restore-natural-habitats/ | 2022-08-16T12:34:22Z | https://www.energylivenews.com/2022/08/16/government-urged-to-pay-farmers-to-restore-natural-habitats/ | false | 1 |
Cheney braces for loss as Trump tested in Wyoming and Alaska
CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, a leader in the Republican resistance to former President Donald Trump, is fighting to save her seat in the U.S. House on Tuesday as voters weigh in on the direction of the GOP.
Cheney’s team is bracing for a loss against a Trump-backed challenger in the state in which he won by the largest of margins during the 2020 campaign.
Win or lose in deep-red Wyoming, the 56-year-old daughter of a vice president is vowing not to disappear from national politics as she contemplates a 2024 presidential bid. But in the short term, Cheney is facing a dire threat from Republican opponent Harriet Hageman, a Cheyenne ranching industry attorney who has harnessed the full fury of the Trump movement in her bid to expel Cheney from the House.
“I’m still hopeful that the polling numbers are wrong,” said Landon Brown, a Wyoming state representative and vocal Cheney ally. “It’ll be a crying shame really if she does lose. It shows just how much of a stranglehold that Donald Trump has on the Republican Party.”
Tuesday’s contests in Wyoming and Alaska offer one of the final tests for Trump and his brand of hard-line politics ahead of the November general election. So far, the former president has largely dominated the fight to shape the GOP in his image, having helped install loyalists in key general election matchups from Arizona to Georgia to Pennsylvania.
This week’s contests come just eight days after the FBI executed a search warrant at Trump’s Florida estate, recovering 11 sets of classified records. Some were marked “sensitive compartmented information,” a special category meant to protect the nation’s most important secrets. The Republican Party initially rallied behind the former president, although the reaction turned somewhat mixed as more details emerged.
In Alaska, a recent change to state election law gives a periodic Trump critic, U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, an opportunity to survive the former president’s wrath, even after she voted to convict him in his second impeachment trial.
The top four primary Senate candidates in Alaska, regardless of party, will advance to the November general election, where voters will rank them in order of preference.
In all, seven Republican senators and 10 Republican House members joined every Democrat in supporting Trump’s impeachment in the days after his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol as Congress tried to certify President Joe Biden’s victory.
Just two of those 10 House members have won their GOP primaries this year. The rest have lost or declined to seek reelection. Cheney would be just the third to return to Congress if she defies expectations on Tuesday.
And Murkowski is the only pro-impeachment senator running for reelection this year.
She is facing 18 opponents — the most prominent of which is Republican Kelly Tshibaka, who has been endorsed by Trump — in her push to preserve a seat she has held for nearly 20 years. Trump railed against Murkowski on social media and in her home state of Alaska, where he hosted a rally with Tshibaka last month in Anchorage.
In contrast to vulnerable Republican candidates who cozied up to Trump in other states this summer, Murkowski continues to promote her bipartisan credentials.
“When you get the ideas from both sides coming together, little bit of compromise in the middle, this is what lasts beyond administrations, beyond changes in leadership,” the Republican senator said in a video posted on social media over the weekend. “This is what allows for stability and certainty. And it comes through bipartisanship.”
On the other side of the GOP’s tent, Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor and vice-presidential nominee, hopes to spark a political comeback on Tuesday.
Endorsed by Trump, she finished first among 48 candidates to qualify for a special election seeking to replace Rep. Don Young, who died in March at age 88, after 49 years as Alaska’s lone House member. Palin is actually on Tuesday’s ballot twice: once in a special election to complete Young’s term and another for a full two-year House term starting in January. She’s running against Republican Nick Begich and Democrat Mary Peltola in the special election and a larger field in the primary.
Ever an outsider, Palin spent recent days attacking Murkowski, a fellow Republican, and those who instituted the open primary and ranked-choice voting system in 2020.
“I’ve said all along that ranked-choice voting was designed to benefit Democrats and RINOs, specifically Sen. Lisa Murkowski (who stood no chance of winning a Republican nomination) along with other political dynasty family members in Alaska,” Palin wrote in a recent statement calling for the law’s repeal.
Back in Wyoming, Cheney’s political survival may depend upon persuading enough Democrats to cast ballots in her Republican primary election. While some Democrats have rallied behind her, it’s unclear whether there are enough in the state to make a difference. Biden earned just 26% of Wyoming’s vote in 2020.
Many Republicans in the state — and in the country — have essentially excommunicated Cheney because of her outspoken criticism of Trump. The House GOP ousted her as the No. 3 House leader last year. And more recently, the Wyoming GOP and Republican National Committee censured her.
Anti-Trump groups such as U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger’s Country First PAC and the Republican Accountability Project have worked to encourage independents and Democrats to support Cheney in recent weeks. They are clearly disappointed by the expected outcome of Tuesday’s election, although some are hopeful about her political future.
“What’s remarkable is that in the face of almost certain defeat she’s never once wavered,” said Sarah Longwell, executive director of the Republican Accountability Project. “We’ve been watching a national American figure be forged. It’s funny how small the election feels — the Wyoming election — because she feels bigger than it now.”
Cheney has seemingly welcomed defeat by devoting almost every resource at her disposal to ending Trump’s political career since the insurrection.
She emerged as a leader in the congressional committee investigating Trump’s role in the Jan. 6 attack, giving the Democrat-led panel genuine bipartisan credibility. She has also devoted the vast majority of her time to the committee instead of the campaign trail back home, a decision that still fuels murmurs of disapproval among some Wyoming allies. And she has closed out the primary campaign with an unflinching anti-Trump message.
“In our nation’s 246-year history, there has never been an individual who was a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump,” former Vice President Dick Cheney said in a recent ad produced by his daughter’s campaign.
He continued, “There is nothing more important she will ever do than lead the effort to make sure Donald Trump is never again near the Oval Office.”

NEW YORK, Aug. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Inc. revealed that Orchard is No. 226 on its annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. In addition to ranking in the top 250, Orchard has also ranked in the top 25 fastest-growing companies headquartered in NYC, and the top 10 real estate companies in the country. The list represents a one-of-a-kind look at the most successful companies within the economy's most dynamic segment—its independent businesses. Facebook, Chobani, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.
"Inclusion on the Inc. 5000 list is a tremendous achievement, and is testament to the incredible work our team has done to modernize the home buying experience. This accomplishment comes as we celebrate our fifth anniversary in September – we're just getting started and excited to see what the next five years will bring," says Court Cunningham, Co-Founder and CEO of Orchard.

In addition to using Orchard as your real estate agent, title company, and loan offers, Orchard can also make a cash-backed offer on a property without paying fees beyond the standard real estate commission.
"The accomplishment of building one of the fastest-growing companies in the U.S., in light of recent economic roadblocks, cannot be overstated," says Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc. "Inc. is thrilled to honor the companies that have established themselves through innovation, hard work, and rising to the challenges of today."

Physician leaders from Pieces, Amazon Web Services, and LeanTaaS share insights on how AI can maximize its impact for clinicians with natural language processing and natural language generation
DALLAS, Aug. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Pieces, a healthcare AI company, recently convened an industry roundtable with physician leaders to reflect on the current state of AI and how it is supporting physicians, nurses, and care teams. The roundtable participants shared their perspectives from both practicing in the field and working with healthcare IT companies to drive much-needed change for healthcare professionals. The consensus was that while AI has made great strides in recent years, it is ready and able to make a deeper impact on the day-to-day work of clinicians, as well as to drive a strategic shift towards re-empowering clinicians to focus more on patients and less on administrative tasks.
The roundtable participants included:
- Ruben Amarasingham, MD, Founder and CEO, Pieces
- Mark Michalski, MD, Worldwide Head Healthcare and Life Sciences for AI and machine learning, Amazon and Amazon Web Services (AWS)
- Jim Ritchie, MD, Consultant Renal Physician and CCIO at The Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust
- Pallabi Sanyal-Dey, MD, FHM, Director of Client Services, Inpatient Beds, LeanTaaS
"AI is beginning to help clinicians with the care and treatment of patients but we really are in the first inning here," said Dr. Amarasingham. "This roundtable discussion reflects the increasingly expressed hope that AI can bring back the joy and delight into the practice of medicine, enabling clinicians to spend all of their attention on the patient."
Key takeaways from the roundtable included:
- AI has the potential to vastly reduce charting and EMR friction that has bedeviled healthcare for decades: "One of the most exciting areas for me, coming from a clinical world, is how advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) will help reduce the burden on medical professionals," said Dr. Michalski. "Our providers have had a tremendously difficult two years, and beyond the stress of increasing patient volumes, they are also grappling with alert and documentation fatigue. An exciting near-term goal is to streamline repetitive charting activity with predictive AI – and the ultimate goal is to modernize clinical documentation and charting activities altogether. This will free up medical practitioners' time from critical yet repetitive tasks, and help them focus on patient care."
Dr. Amarasingham agrees. "There is an increasing focus on AI systems and methods that can take over the documentation and communication tasks physicians have been saddled with since the advent of EMRs. For example, systems can summarize a medical record or a complicated patient history, reducing the time a physician may have to read a record or prepare a summary." - AI and NLP can help cure healthcare's workforce crisis by driving efficiency and supporting retention: "The NHS has recognized that more staff are leaving the field than ever before and has committed to taking action," said Dr. Ritchie. "Staff retention is a top priority. If we can apply AI to enable a better staff experience that is less about administrative tasks and more about safely looking after patients, it will make a difference. Similarly, if AI can help clinicians to increase the efficiency of their work with automation, they will be able to look after more patients which is a win for both organizational efficiency and our staff's quality of their working experience."
- NLP is making a difference and will make an even bigger impact as it continues to evolve: "In the last 5 years we've seen a significant development in NLP and speech recognition technology," said Dr. Michalski. "We've seen huge step changes in the capabilities of AI in those models and technologies, and I think those are making the most progress.
Dr. Sanyal-Dey sees the promise of NLP as well. "I'm most excited about the NLP arena—and really fine- tuning that functionality so that it allows physicians to not spend their time reading non-relevant information but rather focusing on what they need to make clinical decisions. NLP can help assign role-appropriate tasks so that everyone's time is spent most efficiently. Case managers are doing true case management and nurses can do nursing," she said.
Dr. Amarasingham commented, "I've heard John Bohannon say: 'It used to be, software is eating the world; then ML is eating software; and now NLP is eating ML.' That certainly feels real to me when I look at healthcare AI. NLP, and now NLG, has great power for healthcare" - Some physicians are still skeptical but others are eager to embrace AI and experience the benefits: "Skepticism absolutely remains - whenever change is introduced, especially in healthcare, because of the way we do things," said Dr. Sanyal-Dey. "I have seen people who are quite positively taken aback and impressed by what AI and machine learning can do, but it will take time for everyone to get there. After all, there's an element of trust because it's new data, new recommendations, and healthcare workers must be able to trust what they see and do. The human element is needed to balance everything else that is being captured."
Dr. Amarasingham however also emphasizes that many physicians are ready to adopt AI. "My discussion with physician colleagues is that they are hungry for advances in AI to be applied to their work to make their lives easier and their patient's outcomes even better," said Dr. Amarasingham. "There is enormous complexity and information in medicine and many physicians would like tools that make it easier to do their work, manage routine items, and reduce cognitive overload similar to what they see their smartphones doing in their lives outside of medicine."
"So much of the discussion about AI has been focused on predictive modeling or risk scores but AI must also be about helping me to get work done rather than giving me another number to think about," said Dr. Ritchie. "Helping clinicians to get work done, like streamlining the clinical handover process, improves operational efficiency and much more. It's an easier fix than the strictly clinical use cases and more appreciated in many ways." - Healthcare organizations are finding new ways to accurately evaluate AI technology, like dedicated sandbox environments: "Most healthcare organizations are not adept at evaluating AI technology, "said Dr. Ritchie. "They often lack a structured approach to evaluating features and usability outside of foundational technical requirements like cybersecurity essentials. But standards still cannot inform whether an AI technology will work in your environment, if it is the right tool for your technology infrastructure, or whether the training group is representative of the population you serve. That's why we're exploring building a sandbox environment for AI vendor testing. Even though that is costly and time-consuming, it is important."
- The future is bright for healthcare AI in the near-term and for decades to come: I'm looking forward to technology like AI and machine learning allowing clinicians to spend their critical thinking time on a patients' medical issues," said Dr. Sanyal-Dey. "Giving clinical care the space that it needs, without the clutter of administrative tasks, will free up brain space to think about our patients better."
As for Dr. Michalski, he sees talking about AI less as the future goal. "I'm hoping for a day, not too far from now, where we're talking about AI and ML less because we'll be able to incorporate AI and ML seamlessly from a product and workflow standpoint. We will view AI as a feature of a successful product as opposed to being a talking point. When that happens, the natural and healthy skepticism of the physician world about AI and ML will fade away because the product works seamlessly and improves efficiency significantly. We've seen that happen in imaging, it's no longer an AI tool, it's an effective tool that helps improve patient care"
Dr. Amarasingham notes that future iterations of AI systems will become more anticipatory. "AI will become a clinically holistic assistant to physicians, like having a really great intern to help with things," he said.

Davis looking to keep roster spot as Chargers open preseason
Michael Davis went into last year's preseason games knowing that he was going to be one of the starting cornerbacks for the Los Angeles Chargers.
As the sixth-year defender prepares for Saturday's contest against the defending Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams, his roster spot very much up in the air.
Davis had the worst season of his career last year on a Chargers' defense that had trouble getting off the field and keeping teams out of the end zone after halftime. Coach Brandon Staley and general manager Tom Telesco revamped the defense during the offseason, including signing cornerbacks J.C. Jackson and Bryce Callahan.
With the Chargers expected to be in a nickel defense most of the time, Jackson, Callahan and Asante Samuel Jr. are expected to be the starting cornerbacks when the season opens Sept. 11 against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Where does that leave Davis? That's something he will have to answer on the field over the next two weeks.
“There’s more depth. With more depth, there’s more competition, and that brings the best out of us,” he said.
Davis' struggles last season are why he is on the roster bubble. According to Pro Football Focus, he had the 11th worst coverage grade among the 72 cornerbacks who saw at least 425 snaps. The six touchdowns allowed and eight penalties committed were tied for eighth most.
Davis admitted that the combination of learning a new defense and personal issues off the field were factors in why he struggled.
“Distractions in my personal life, my previous girlfriend. Whatever happens off of the field comes onto the field, and vice-versa," Davis said. “I just think that last year was filled with distractions. This year, I’m able to eliminate all of the distractions go back to my myself, the way that I’ve been doing it before last year.”
Coach Brandon Staley and secondary coach Derrick Ansley have noticed a different approach from Davis, beginning with the offseason program and carrying through to training camp.
Staley added that Davis' performance has been a bright spot in training camp.
“He's got that mindset back to when he was a rookie of grinding and working his way back up,” Ansley said. “He's worked on his lower body strength and technique. Just playing harder for a longer period of time.”
The two main areas where Davis will have to perform well is in the dime package and on special teams.
Davis has been matched up against the tight end and slot receivers in dime, along with being on the edge to stop the run. On special teams, Davis is among many players lining up at gunner in punt coverage.
He will see action on both defense and special teams on Saturday.
“I think just because I’m big and strong, and I’m fast. It’s a different position, but I like it," Davis said of his role in dime. "I think that it just adds more value to me, I guess. We’ll see how it goes. I’m liking it.”
Notes: Staley said that Chase Daniel and Easton Stick will both see one half of action against the Rams. ... Most of the starters will have the night off, but Trey Pipkins and Storm Norton will both play as they continue their battle for the starting spot at right offensive tackle.

Britain is suffering its worst drought since the 1970s, with dry weather expected until October. Many parks and lawns are now more straw than grass, but some trees and other plants have responded in a more surprising way: by losing their leaves.
It is likely that this exceptionally dry weather is due to climate change. But are trees turning brown or dropping their leaves because they have lost track of the seasons, and behaving as if it is autumn?
Leaf fall is a carefully controlled process in which the junction between the leaf and the stem is precisely dissolved without damaging surrounding parts of the plant. Given this, you might think that it could only happen now if the trees and other plants are confused.
But this is not the case. Instead, it is an emergency response to protect the plant from dehydration.
The reason becomes clear if we think about what leaves do: they are solar panels, collecting sunlight and capturing its energy through the process of photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide is one of the key ingredients in this process and plants obtain it from the atmosphere, initially dissolving it in water coating the inside surfaces of each leaf.
To give the leaf the largest possible area to capture carbon dioxide, these interiors are folded and folded until they are typically 20 times the area of the leaf’s outside surface. This is good for harvesting carbon dioxide, but means water can be lost through evaporation across all of this huge area.
As much as 99% of water taken up by plants just passes through them and evaporates into the air in this way. Rain forests are rain forests because the trees release so much water vapour that they change the climate around them. Some large trees take up and evaporate a metric tonne of water in a day.
Leaves left useless
This is fine if water is plentiful, but what if it is not? In a drought, plants initially close the pores in their leaves that allow carbon dioxide in and through which water escapes. This reduces water loss but also slows or stops photosynthesis, since the supply of carbon dioxide is cut off.
Furthermore, closing the pores traps the oxygen produced as a by-product of photosynthesis inside the leaf. Oxygen is necessary for most living things, but is an aggressive and destructive substance which damages leaves if it builds up. The light energy a leaf captures can also become dangerous if it cannot be used to convert carbon dioxide to sugars. Leaves are left useless and accumulate damage when their supply of carbon dioxide is cut off to save water.
Lack of water can also do more fundamental harm. Leaves need a continuous supply to replace the water lost during photosynthesis and to remain hydrated. Otherwise they will slowly dry out even when their pores are closed.
Water molecules stick to one another, which is why pond skaters can run across a pond without breaking the surface. Plants use this phenomenon on a much larger scale to transport water up to their leaves in narrow, water-filled tubes. As water evaporates from the leaves, each water molecule in the tube pulls on the next, drawing the whole column of water upwards without the plant having to do any work.
An elegant trick, but as it gets harder and harder to pull water out of dry soil, the tension in the water can become so great that these columns break, blocking the tubes with bubbles and preventing water reaching the leaves for long periods. Shedding leaves reduces this risk too.
Not all species lose their leaves to cope with lack of water, but most will have had to reduce or stop photosynthesis in one way or another. Without photosynthesis, ecosystems will shrink. Less photosynthesis means less plant growth and therefore less food for herbivores – and, in turn, fewer herbivores for carnivores to feed on. It will also affect UK food production unless water is diverted to farms to protect crops, a particular concern at present because of disruptions to grain supplies due to the war in Ukraine.
Although drought-induced leaf fall may not be due to a jumbling of the seasons, climate change is disrupting ecosystems in other ways. Different species use different cues to calibrate their annual cycles and as the world warms, organisms are slipping out of sync as their individual interpretations of changing temperatures and weather patterns shift.
This can easily disturb delicate networks of interactions and interdependencies. For example, plants may produce flowers at the wrong time for bees to pollinate them. Disruption of patterns of bird migration may mean that fruit-bearing plants have no way to spread their seeds. If they set off at the wrong time, migratory species may arrive at their destination to find they have missed a key food source, or that it isn’t available yet.
This drought seems likely to be a taste of more extreme and chaotic weather patterns to come, in which we and the living world will frequently have to scramble for solutions in the face of new and unpredictable climatic conditions.

EXPLAINER: Implications of new UAE visa rules for Nigerian travellers
Last week, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) released stiffer visa regulations for Nigerians.
The new rules followed recent public disturbance by some Africans, most of whom were allegedly Nigerians in Dubai.
A video had emerged last week, in which some African youths, believed to be Nigerian nationals, were seen fighting in a Dubai community and destroying public properties.
The Nigerian community in Dubai under the umbrella of the Nigerians in Diaspora Organisation, UAE chapter, swiftly condemned the development while particularly commending the swift intervention of the Dubai Police, which got some of the hoodlums arrested.
After arresting them, the police said a criminal case had been registered against the suspects and they would be referred to the public prosecution for further action.
The development may have also led to the decision of the UAE government to immediately tighten the visa regulations for Nigerians travelling into the UAE.
In the updated visa portal, there are three new Nigerian requirements mandatory for all visa applicants to provide.
These requirements are to be scanned and uploaded in the visa portal as provided to enable the applicant to complete and submit visa application online.

The three updated requirements are hotel reservation/place of stay in UAE, six-month bank statement and return flight ticket.
While the UAE government did not state any specific reason for the new requirement, travel experts have said the decision was taken to reduce the influx of persons with criminal intent into the country.
However, the new visa rules may reduce the number of travellers travelling from Nigeria into the UAE.
Susan Akporiaye, president of the National Association of Nigeria Travel Agencies, told BusinessDay that before now, Dubia used to be one of the easiest destinations to visit because of the relaxed visa rules but with the new requirements, it may be difficult for some people to provide the requirements to process their visas.
Akporiaye said a lot of travellers, especially tourists love to stay with their families and friends and share hotel rooms with friends when they visit Dubai but with the new rules, it means for all the days they will stay in Dubai, they have to pay for a hotel, which can be very expensive.
She said: “Travellers are already paying so much to travel because of the dollar scarcity and high air fares. The new visa rules would double the troubles of travellers as they would have to source for more money to pay for hotels and boost their accounts to be able to visit Dubai.
“When the UAE authority sees that the traffic from Nigeria has reduced, they will have to review these new rules. As it is, Dubai is no longer affordable.”
She said while the UAE government did not specify the amount that should be in people’s accounts to qualify them to get visas, some travel agents said passengers who did not have up to N2.5 million in their bank accounts were given visas in recent times.
BusinessDay’s findings show that about 15 percent of international travellers in Nigeria are UAE-bound travellers. This implies that out of the about 2.5 million annual international travels in Nigeria, about 377,000 Nigerians on average visit the country annually either for business or tourism.
Experts in the travel sector also said tourist travellers may shift to Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya and other tourism destinations with more relaxed visa requirements.
“With the new visa rules, I don’t think I would be visiting Dubai anytime soon. This is because whenever I visit, I have friends in Dubai, specifically in Sharjah that I stay with. This helps me reduce expenses I would have incurred paying for a hotel,” Abigail Ude, a travel agent, told BusinessDay.
Ude said her friends have also changed travel plans for Christmas to Dubai and are looking for African destinations with relaxed rules and nice tourist attractions.
Olumide Ohunayo, an aviation analyst, said the UAE can impose rules as it deems fit in the interest of their country and its citizens.
He said: “Every country has the right to introduce some consular requirements to protect their country and ensure that eligible tourists, visitors or business men are those who come into their country.
“The UAE has been very relaxed with their visa. It is the most relaxed of the Middle East countries. Unfortunately, we have not behaved well. We have abused it. It is their country. They need to do what they need to do to safeguard other tourists apart from Nigerians and ensure that their country is protected.” | https://businessday.ng/news/article/explainer-implications-of-new-uae-visa-rules-for-nigerian-travellers/ | 2022-08-16T12:54:25Z | https://businessday.ng/news/article/explainer-implications-of-new-uae-visa-rules-for-nigerian-travellers/ | true | 1 |

US, South Korea, Japan hold missile defense exercise with eye on North Korea, China
The United States, South Korea and Japan participated in a ballistic missile defense exercise off Hawaii’s coast last week, the Pentagon said on Tuesday, reviving combined drills with an eye on North Korea as well as China.
It was the first time the three countries have held such drills since 2017, after relations between Seoul and Tokyo hit their lowest in years in 2019 amid renewed historical disputes dating to Japan’s 1910-1945 occupation of the Korean Peninsula, Reuters reported.
South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol, a conservative who took office in May, has vowed to improve relations with Japan and deepen the U.S. alliance to better deter North Korea, including by expanding or resuming joint drills.
The missile warning and ballistic missile search and tracking exercise took place Aug. 8-14 during the multinational Pacific Dragon drills, and demonstrated the three countries’ commitment to respond to challenges posed by North Korea, protect shared security and bolster the rules-based international order, the Pentagon said in a statement.
The participants shared tactical data link information in accordance with a trilateral information sharing agreement, the statement said.
U.S.-led joint missile defence measures have been a sore point with China, which retaliated economically against South Korea’s 2016 decision to host a U.S. military Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery.
Beijing says the THAAD radar can penetrate its territory and has called on Yoon to honour assurances made by his predecessor to not to increase THAAD deployments, participate in a U.S.-led global missile shield or create a trilateral military alliance involving Japan.
Yoon has said those do not represent formal agreements and that Seoul is not bound by them.
South Korea’s ministry of defense also confirmed on Tuesday that its troops would resume long-suspended live field training during their joint military drills with the United States to be held from Aug. 22 to Sept. 1.
The two sides have scaled back combined military drills in recent years due to COVID-19 and efforts to lower tensions with the North, which has accused the exercises of being a rehearsal for invasion.

Putin says Russia and North Korea will expand bilateral relations
Russian President Vladimir Putin told North Korean leader Kim Jong-un the two countries will “expand the comprehensive and constructive bilateral relations with common efforts,” Pyongyang’s state media reported on Monday.
In a letter to Kim for Korea’s liberation day, Putin said closer ties would be in both countries’ interests, and would help strengthen the security and stability of the Korean peninsula and the Northeastern Asian region, North Korea’s KCNA news agency said.
Kim also sent a letter to Putin saying Russian-North Korean friendship had been forged in World War II with victory over Japan, which had occupied the Korean peninsula, Reuters reported.
The “strategic and tactical co-operation, support and solidarity” between the two countries has since reached a new level is their common efforts to frustrate threats and provocations from hostile military forces, Kim said in the letter. KCNA did not identify the hostile forces, but it has typically used that term to refer to the United States and its allies.
Kim predicted co-operation between Russia and North Korea would grow based on an agreement signed in 2019 when he met with Putin.

Author Salman Rushdie on ventilator after stabbing in New York
Salman Rushdie, the Indian-born British author of a controversial book titled “The Satanic Verses” was stabbed as he was about to give a lecture in New York on Friday.
Police said Rushdie was stabbed “at least once in the neck, and at least once in the abdomen” after an assailant rushed to the stage and lunged at the 75-year-old writer just as he was being introduced to the audience.
Rushdie was airlifted to hospital where he spent hours in surgery. On Friday evening, Rushdie was on a ventilator and unable to speak.
“The news is not good,” Andrew Wylie, his book agent, wrote in an email to Reuters news agency. “Salman will likely lose one eye; the nerves in his arm were severed; and his liver was stabbed and damaged.”
Police identified the suspect as 24-year-old Hadi Matar from New Jersey.
Stacey Schlosser, who witnessed the attack, told The Associated Press that Rushdie was stabbed six to eight times before the attacker was restrained.
“Nobody knew what to do. Nobody knew how to react. I mean, there were tons of people that rushed the stage,” Schlosser said.
Rushdie’s book, The Satanic Verses, has been banned in several countries, as many Muslims consider it to be blasphemous.

Justice Department seeks to unseal search warrants of Trump’s home
US federal agents were looking for documents relating to nuclear weapons when they raided former President Donald Trump’s home in Florida this week, the Washington Post reported on Thursday.
It was not clear if such documents were recovered at the former president’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, the Post said. Reuters could not immediately confirm the report, Reuters reported.
The U.S. Justice Department asked a judge on Thursday to make public the warrant that authorized the FBI search of Mar-a-Lago, after Trump, a Republican, portrayed it as political retribution.
The request means the public could soon learn more about what investigators were looking for during the unprecedented search of a former president’s home.
The search was part of an investigation into whether Trump illegally removed records from the White House as he left office in January 2021, some of which the Justice Department believes are classified.
Attorney General Merrick Garland, the top law enforcement officer and an appointee of Democratic President Joe Biden, told a news conference that he had personally approved the search. The Justice Department also seeks to make public a redacted receipt of the items seized.
“The department does not take such a decision lightly. Where possible, it is standard practice to seek less intrusive means as an alternative to a search, and to narrowly scope any search that is undertaken,” Garland said.
His decision to publicly confirm the search was highly unusual. U.S. law enforcement officials typically do not discuss ongoing investigations in order to protect people’s rights. In this case, Trump himself announced the search in a Monday night statement.
Garland said the Justice Department made the request to make public the warrant “in light of the former president’s public confirmation of the search, the surrounding circumstances and the substantial public interest in this matter.”
A source familiar with the matter said the FBI retrieved about 10 boxes from Trump’s property during the search.
Trump was not in Florida at the time of the search.
Late on Thursday, Trump called for the immediate release of documents related to the search.
“Not only will I not oppose the release of documents related to the unAmerican, unwarranted, and unnecessary raid and break-in of my home in Palm Beach, Florida, Mar-a-Lago, I am going a step further by ENCOURAGING the immediate release of those documents, even though they have been drawn up by radical left Democrats and possible future political opponents, who have a strong and powerful vested interest in attacking me, much as they have done for the last 6 years,” he said on his Truth Social platform.

Warren Buffett and his company Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A)(NYSE: BRK.B) were once again buying stocks in the second quarter of the year, although not nearly with the same ferocity of the first quarter when they pumped $51 billion into stocks.
Berkshire just released its 13F filing, which shows what stocks the company purchased and sold in Q2, which started April 1 and ended June 30. We knew from Berkshire's second-quarter earnings report last week that Buffett and Berkshire purchased roughly $6.2 billion of equities and sold about $2.3 billion of stocks in the quarter.
Buffett and Berkshire didn't buy anything new but did increase their position in several of their existing holdings. Here are the nine stocks Buffett and Berkshire purchased in Q2.
The three biggest buys
For those who follow Buffett and Berkshire closely, it should come as no surprise that Berkshire significantly increased its position in the Houston-based oil and natural gas company Occidental Petroleum (NYSE: OXY). Buffett has been buying domestic oil companies all year, especially as the tension between Russia and the rest of the world has mounted. The Russian invasion of Ukraine resulted in oil sanctions from countries all over the world on Russian gas, which has led to inventory shortages and higher gas prices.
At the end of the second quarter, Buffett owned roughly 158.5 million shares of Occidental Petroleum, valued at more than $9.3 billion. But since the end of Q2, we know that Buffett has been buying more of the stock and has now accumulated over 20% of the company, or more than 188 million shares. With shares of Occidental closing today at over $64 per share, that values the stake north of $12 billion. Many have surmised that Berkshire's continued buying of the stock could eventually lead to a full takeover of the company.
Berkshire's second big purchase was made in the consumer digital bank Ally Financial (NYSE: ALLY), which specializes in auto lending and which Berkshire first initiated in the first quarter. Berkshire increased its position by 234%, snapping up more than 21 million shares and growing its stake to 30 million shares valued at more than $1 billion. That gives it about a 9.7% stake in the company based on today's closing price. Ally has generated superb returns since the pandemic, thanks to improved operations and elevated car prices, but investors have been concerned about a time when those prices start to normalize.
Buffett and Berkshire also made a fairly sizable addition to their position in the multinational media company Paramount Global (NASDAQ: PARA), adding roughly 9.5 million shares and putting their overall stake at 78.4 million shares. The position, which is currently valued at more than $2 billion based on today's share price of $26.56, currently makes up more than 12% of the company.
Other notable moves
Buffett and Berkshire also continued to increase their position in some of their largest portfolio holdings, such as their overwhelmingly favorite stock, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL). Berkshire added roughly 3.9 million shares and now has 894.8 million shares in the tech giant. This values Berkshire's position in Apple at close to $155 billion based on today's closing price, which represents a nearly 5.7% stake in the company. With Berkshire having roughly $300 billion of equity holdings at the end of Q2, that means Apple made up 40.7% of its equity holdings at the end of the quarter when you exclude Berkshire's $105 billion of cash and cash equivalents.
Berkshire also boosted its large stake in the other large U.S. oil producer, Chevron (NYSE: CVX), by 2.26 million shares. With Chevron closing the day at $156.80 and Berkshire owning more than 161.4 million shares, Berkshire's stake amounts to $25.3 billion or roughly 8.2% of Chevron.
Berkshire then boosted its stake in the video game company Activision Blizzard (NASDAQ: ATVI) from 64.3 million shares at the end of the first quarter to more than 68.4 million shares at the end of Q2. Berkshire's stake is now worth roughly $5.3 billion, or nearly 8.5% of the company.
Finally, Buffett and Berkshire added 1.27 million shares of the specialty materials company Celanese Corp (NYSE: CE), about 277,000 shares to the pharma company McKesson Corporation (NYSE: MCK), and more than 47,000 to the insurance and investment company Markel Corp (NYSE: MKL).
Long-term investors who want to follow Buffett's buy-and-hold philosophy could use these timely buys as inspiration, but ought to do their own due diligence to see which stocks make sense in their portfolio.

Girl, 12, diagnosed with brain tumour after trip to Specsavers dies before £200K raised for treatment
Grace Kelly went to a Specsavers branch for a routine check-up when opticians discovered swelling behind her eyes
A 12-year-old girl diagnosed with a brain tumour after a routine trip to the opticians has tragically died while her family battled to raise £200,000 for treatment unavailable on the NHS.
Grace Kelly went to Specsavers for a check-up when opticians discovered swelling behind her eyes in August 2021.
The schoolgirl was referred to Leicester Royal Infirmary where an MRI scan discovered she had a glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) tumour the size of a 50p piece.
Grace, of Oadby, Leicestershire, underwent an eight-hour operation and several courses of both radiotherapy and chemotherapy, but despite this gruelling treatment a scan revealed the tumour had grown back.
Her devastated family set about trying to raise hundreds of thousands of pounds to fund pioneering treatment in Germany, which is not yet available in the UK.
But today her heartbroken mother Vanessa, 32, revealed their “brave and beautiful” daughter had lost her year-long battle with the disease.
Grace sadly passed away on Saturday (13/8) with her family by her side.
Vanessa said: “Our brave and beautiful girl took on her cancer like a warrior, she never complained and always had a smile.
“Our perfect girl was polite, funny, brave, beautiful and smart.
“We were so lucky to have her as our daughter, and she was an amazing big sister to Marissa and Nathan. She will be missed by family and friends so much.
“All our hearts are shattered at the loss and we still can’t believe she has gone. She will always be with us.
“We had 12 amazing years with Grace but it wasn’t enough, we miss her already. I don’t know how we will go on without her. Fly high our angel Grace.”
Vanessa and husband John, 42, had been trying to crowdfund £200,000 to go to Germany for pioneering private immunotherapy treatment.
She added: “I find it shocking and frustrating that these pioneering treatments are not available in the UK.
“There is something that might be able to help but we can’t access it.
“We are shocked that the standard of care for brain tumours has been the same for the last 20 years.
“It’s so distressing knowing there’s no cure for what Grace had, but we don’t want to give up.
“There is such a lack of funding, and we desperately need more treatments available.”
Brain Tumour Research say brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer.
Hugh Adams, head of stakeholders relations at Brain Tumour Research, said: “We’re deeply saddened to learn that Grace has died from this devastating disease and our thoughts are with all those who knew and loved her.
“We are really grateful to Vanessa and John for working with us, as it’s only with the support of people like them that we’re able to progress our research into brain tumours and improve the outcome for patients like Grace who are forced to fight this awful disease.
“Brain tumours are indiscriminate. They can affect anyone at any time.
“Too little is known about the causes and that is why increased investment in research is vital.”

Tel Aviv: Senior Israeli leaders from across the political spectrum have congratulated India on its 75 years of independence, emphasising on its growing influence as a regional and global power and emergence as an innovation superpower that could help in changing the world for the better.
Israeli President Isaac Herzog on Monday evening attended an event to celebrate the 75th anniversary of India’s Independence and 30 years of full diplomatic relations between India and Israel attended by hundreds of Indians and local India enthusiasts.
“India’s influence as a regional and global power is steadily on the rise, and I am confident that the greater your level of engagement, the greater the positive change,” Herzog said.
“Israel shares in this marvelous celebration of national Indian pride. We send our warmest wishes for peace and prosperity and we look forward to working with you, side by side, to secure the promise of a brighter future. Mazal tov!”
The Israeli President highlighted “clear parallels” in India’s historical triumph and Israel’s national story.
Both ancient nations, enriched by centuries of teachings and heritage, intertwined throughout history, and achieved independence within the same year, he said.
“We will celebrate our 75th in a few months’ time. Today, just a few decades later, we find our two modern republics proudly bound together by creativity and democracy, by ingenuity coupled with deep respect for timeless faiths and belief systems, which transcend time,” he noted.

“Israel and India both aim for equality and prosperity, we both face challenges, internal and external; and we are both open to expanding partnerships,” Herzog added.
“By joining forces, working together to maximise our strengths, whether in science or agriculture, hi-tech or green tech, and so much more, we can generate deep change for our two peoples,” he said.
Herzog said Israel cherishes its growing relationship with India and strong friendship with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, whom he had met a few years back during his state visit.
He pointed out the I2U2 Group, which convened recently during US President Joe Biden’s visit to Israel, and included India, Israel, the United States, and the United Arab Emirates, as “tangible evidence” that “we hold in our hands the power to usher in a new era of peace and prosperity from here to India and back.”
“By the way, we can now do it in a five-hour flight,” he said in a lighter vein in reference to direct flights between the two countries passing over Saudi and Omani airspace.

The Israeli president also extended his warm wishes to the newly elected Indian President, Draupadi Murmu, inviting her to Israel and also expressing his wish to visit India.
In a virtual address to the gathering, Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid described India as an innovation superpower changing the world for the better and expressed his country’s wish as a partner, ally and friend to be a part of India’s emerging story.
“India is a proud democracy rooted in deep history and tradition. It is also an innovation superpower changing the world for the better,” Lapid said.
“That’s why Israelis love India and Indian people. That’s why tens of thousands of Israelis visit India each year,” he noted.
Highlighting that India and Israel are marking 30 years of diplomatic relations as well this year, Lapid emphasised on the launch of the groundbreaking I2U2 forum.

CONTINUE READING BELOW
Today as we celebrate all that India has achieved over the past 75 years, we look forward to the next 75 and beyond. We look forward to seeing the next chapter in India’s wonderful story unfold, and we are excited to be a part of the story as a partner, ally and friend,” he said.
Israel’s Defence Minister Benny Gantz, extending his warm wishes to India, called for further deepening of excellent defence ties that could contribute to global peace and stability.
The leader of the Opposition and former Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, whose “excellent chemistry” with Prime Minister Modi received wide attention in the past also attended the event with his wife Sara.
“It took us too many decades to form the bond of friendship but once we bonded, it is unbelievable,” Netanyahu asserted.
“We are happy with your happiness, we grieve with your sadness, and we have a brilliant future together. When you have good days, we are ecstatic, when you have less good days, we are with you,” the Israeli leader said, hinting at an all-weather partnership.

CONTINUE READING BELOW
“But I think our days together are incredible,” he stressed.
Israeli Parliament’s (Knesset) Speaker, Mickey Levy, also congratulated India on the 75th anniversary of its independence day in a tweet.
India’s Ambassador to Israel, Sanjeev Singla, welcoming the guests mentioned that the bilateral diplomatic ties were upgraded to full ties during the current President’s father’s term in the same office pointing out that there were some people in the audience who had seen India’s first ambassador presenting his credentials to then President Chaim Herzog 30 years ago.
Recalling President Chaim Herzog’s words, If it is people who shape history, it is also history that shapes people, Singla emphasised that indeed the civilisational bonds between India and Israel enrich our contemporary understanding.
“Down the centuries, a Jewish community thrived in India in harmony with other communities. And, it is rare in Jewish history that you have had a long, continuous period where you have thrived in freedom and equality, as you did in India. And I must say that we Indians are proud of that,” Singla noted, stressing the well-known fact that India was one of those rare places where there was no trace of anti-semitism.

CONTINUE READING BELOW
The Indian envoy applauded the role of the Indian Jewish community as “a positive and industrious force” that has supported Israel’s nation-building and helped in connecting “our two countries.”
“Today, they form an organic linkage between our two nations. We recognise and value their contribution, and those of others, who have helped our relationship grow. And for several decades, the Indian diaspora elsewhere too has supported these efforts,” he said.
“So when Maestro Zubin Mehta conducts the national anthems of Israel and India, as he did at the Israel Philharmonic a few weeks ago, we are rightfully proud,” Singla emphasised.
Further, hundreds of Indian soldiers fought in this land during the First World War, and many of them made the supreme sacrifice. These included some Indian Jewish soldiers, he said.
“The tale of the valiant cavalry charge by Indian soldiers that liberated the city of Haifa in September 1918 is of course very well known. What is less well known are the sacrifices made by other soldiers in other parts of the land,” he noted.

CONTINUE READING BELOW
“While memorials to Indian soldiers exist at cemeteries in Jerusalem, Haifa and Ramleh, we are now in the process of establishing an India Trail to mark the major battles fought by Indian soldiers in the Holy Land.
Singla emphasised on the relationship between the two countries moving “into a qualitatively different trajectory” following the elevation of bilateral relations to a “strategic partnership” during the July 2017 visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Israel.
Over the past 30 years, India’s political, trade, cultural, tourism, and people-to-people relations with Israel have grown tremendously, he added.
Today, the bilateral trade has crossed USD 7.8 billion and both countries are now pursuing a Free Trade Agreement which could serve as a foundation to expand our trade and investment ties in the coming decades, he said.
Contending that India and Israel also share similar challenges to their society from radicalism and terrorism, apart from many other fundamental geo-political and geo-economic changes that are underway in the two geographies, Singla said that it is imperative that the two countries have an ever-closer partnership.

CONTINUE READING BELOW
“As we mark the 30th anniversary of full diplomatic relations between India and Israel, as India completes the 75th year of her independence, and as India’s people script India’s story for the coming decades, we could start new voyages and cover new horizons,” Singla concluded.

EXPLAINER: Why the term ‘genocide’ matters in Ukraine war
WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Joe Biden declares Russia’s Ukraine war “genocide,” it isn’t just another strong word. Calling a campaign that’s aimed at wiping out a targeted group “genocide” not only increases pressure on a country to act, it can oblige it to. That’s partly because of a genocide treaty approved by the U.N. General Assembly after World War II, signed by the United States and more than 150 other nations. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2702438728946/illfest-2022-next-september-3rd-and-4th | 2022-08-16T13:03:48Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2702438728946/illfest-2022-next-september-3rd-and-4th | true | 12721 |

Bernard Geschke understands the importance of farm safety.
He's shared that message with more than 1.9 million people -- and counting -- through his involvement with the Progressive Agriculture Foundation.
The Papillion resident served as Nebraska's state farm safety specialist, where he established a health and safety tent at Husker Harvest Days and coordinated safety events for children. That work prompted an invitation from Progressive Farmer magazine to co-develop what is now known as the Progressive Agriculture Safety Day program.
Geschke served as a volunteer, an advocate and an employee since the program’s inception in 1995 until his retirement this March. In addition, he served on multiple committees and organizations, including the external advisory board for the Central States Center for Agricultural Safety and Health and the board of directors for the International Society for Agricultural Safety and Health.

ISASH recently recognized Geschke and five other people for their contribution to the association and the field of agricultural safety and health at its 2022 annual conference in Fort Collins, Colorado.
Geschke was presented with the Maynard Coe Professional Achievement Award, the group's most prestigious recognition, which recognizes an individual who demonstrates achievements and impact over a period of years.
The other honorees were Aaron Yoder of Plattsmouth; Carolyn Sheridan of Greenville, Iowa; and Whitney Pennington, Lorann Stallones and Morgan Valley, all of Fort Collins, Colorado;
“These awards were established to acknowledge leaders who have made significant contributions to protecting people who work in agriculture,” said Amy Rademaker, incoming ISASH president. “These individuals have made positive impacts on the culture of safety in agriculture through safety training, research, promotion, and education.”

Tony Beasley Replaces Chris Woodward As Interim By Texas Rangers Amid Disappointing MLB Season
The former professional baseball utility player and coach, Christopher Michael Woodward has been fired as manager of the Texas Rangers after the MLB club missed the playoffs for the sixth consecutive season.
Woodward was selected by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 54th round of the 1994 Major League Baseball draft. On 7th June 1999, he debuted in the major leagues by hitting a sacrifice fly in an 8–2 loss to the New York Mets.
From 1999 to 2012, Woodward played in Major League Baseball for the Toronto Blue Jays, New York Mets, Atlanta Braves, Seattle Mariners, and Boston Red Sox.
Texas Rangers announced on SNBC13, https://snbc13.com/chris-woodward-fired-tony-beasley-named-interim-by-texas-rangers-amid-disappointing-mlb-season/, Texas Rangers that it fired manager Woodward.
Meanwhile, Tony Beasley, the third base coach, has been named the team’s interim manager beginning with tonight’s game against the Oakland A’s and lasting through the remainder of the 2022 season.
The President of Baseball Operations for the Rangers, Jon Daniels stated, “Chris Young and I had the very difficult task of informing Chris Woodward of our decision today.
“During his time as Rangers’ manager, he worked tirelessly under sometimes challenging conditions.”
He admitted that Woodward’s efforts to improve the on-field performance of the Texas Rangers have been driven by dedication and passion, which is greatly appreciated.
He has portrayed the organisation with class and respect, says Daniels. “We have had extensive discussions over the past few weeks, and while the current performance of the team is certainly a major factor in this decision, we are also considering the future.”
As the Rangers continue to develop a winning culture and assemble the necessary components to compete for the postseason each season, the president said they felt that a change in leadership was necessary at this time.
“On behalf of the entire Texas Rangers organisation, we thank Chris and wish him and his family the very best.”
While Woodward has a record of 211-287 since his appointment as the club’s nineteenth full-time manager on November 3, 2018, Beasley is in his eighth season as a Major League coach for the Rangers. He was hired on 18th November 2014 and is the staff member with the longest tenure.
However, the 55-year-old Beasley has previously served as a Major League coach for Washington (2006) and Pittsburgh (2008-2010), and as a minor league manager for the Pirates (2001-05) and Nationals (2011; 2012-13) for eight seasons. | https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2022/08/15/tony-beasley-replaces-chris-woodward-as-interim-by-texas-rangers-amid-disappointing-mlb-season/ | 2022-08-16T13:08:23Z | https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2022/08/15/tony-beasley-replaces-chris-woodward-as-interim-by-texas-rangers-amid-disappointing-mlb-season/ | true | 1 |
Health Service Executive (HSE) chief executive Paul Reid has confirmed he will step down from the post in October, months earlier than planned.
In a statement released on Tuesday, Mr Reid said he will leave his role in October, and will take up a period of annual leave.
Mr Reid told staff in June that he was stepping down to spend more time with his family, and made the decision with a “heavy heart”.
He also said at the time that he believed the HSE was entering a new phase and needed the appointment of a new leader.
In a social media post on Tuesday, Mr Reid said: “Following earlier notification at end June 2022, I’ve advised staff in HSE that I will be stepping down as CEO on October 3rd.
“I’ll then take up a period of annual leave.
“I’ll truly miss leading the most committed workforce in the country in some of the toughest of times.”
At the time he confirmed his plans to resign, Taoiseach Micheal Martin paid a “very warm tribute” to him.
“I think he led from the front with his team, with all of the employees of the HSE and guided the nation through in terms of delivery of acute services in the midst of an unprecedented pandemic,” Mr Martin said at the time.
Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly also paid tribute to Mr Reid, saying he had “provided exemplary leadership to the HSE” and “leaves behind him an organisation much enhanced for his time as chief executive, and one that is already making real progress in implementing reform and improvement across many aspects of healthcare provision”.

I got myself a little education this week.
I was looking for Baby Groot art yesterday. My three-year-old is into the new I Am Groot shorts on Disney+. So the little guy has been in our house a lot in the past several days. So I was in a Groot mood.
I happened across this piece by Oliver Wetter, which puts Marvel’s Baby Groot together with DC’s Poison Ivy.
Pretty awesome, right?
Then I looked at the caption, which noted the piece was a tribute to Gil Elvgren. I had no idea who that was. So naturally, I googled it. Turns out Elvgren is one of the best, if not the best, pin-up artists of the 20th century. His name brings up all kinds of sexy art. But this next piece, titled “Daisies Are Telling (Love Me, Love Me Not)” is the one Wetter based his Poison Ivy/Groot image on…
So I got me a nice little pin-up art education with this one. Thanks Mr. Wetter. And perhaps more importantly, thank you Mr. Elvgren!

Cloud Service Providers Segment Projected to Grow Faster Than Telco
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Aug. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- According to a recently published report by Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the telecommunications, networks, and data center industries, global cumulative Service Provider (SP) Router and Switch market revenues are projected to approach $76 billion by 2026, representing a 2 percent CAGR for the forecast period. The adoption of 400 Gbps routing technologies is expected to continue driving the overall market growth, allowing both Telecom and Cloud Service Providers to expand their networks and increase revenues.
"The July 2022 forecast remains in line with the January 2022 forecast, despite both emerging economic uncertainty and persistent market challenges," said Ivaylo Peev, Senior Analyst at Dell'Oro Group. "Emerging economic uncertainty, racing inflation, China's zero-COVID-19 policy, and the war in Ukraine are depressing markets in 2022, putting pressure on vendors and customers alike. We adjusted our projections to account for these market challenges, but we have not changed the baseline guidance of the forecast, because we believe that the underlying fundamentals of the SP Router market will remain healthy over the forecast period," added Peev.
Additional highlights from the Service Provider Router and Switch July 2022 5-Year Forecast Report:
- The Cloud SP Segment is projected to grow faster than the Telco SP segment over the forecast period. 400 Gbps technology adoption in wide area networks (WAN) and Data Center Interconnect (DCI) applications should continue to drive the growth in this segment.
- ZR Optical Modules—long-distance optical modules that support distances of up to 120 km and are based on 400ZR specifications—will create new use cases for SP Core Routers. We project a gradual increase in the number of 400ZR modules used with 400GE port shipments over the forecast period.
- China has recently embarked on an infrastructure spending spree to address the economic slowdown caused by the country's recurring COVID-19 related lockdowns. It is not yet clear how much China plans to spend on the new infrastructure plan. However, according to official Chinese government statistics, investment in infrastructure generally jumped by over 8 percent in 1Q 2022. Further, the Chinese policymakers who are directing the infrastructure overhaul appear to be emphasizing technology: specifically, new facilities for supercomputing, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence. If this level and focus of government stimulus are sustained for the next four quarters, Chinese SPs are likely to accelerate and expand their spending on network investments.

Weaning spring calves may be more of a challenge this year because of short pasture supplies and the questionable nutritional value of this year’s hay crop.
“Pay very close attention to body condition score in September and be prepared to wean, if necessary,” said Gene Schmitz, University of Missouri Extension livestock specialist in Sedalia. Schmitz recently worked through a feeding scenario for a producer that highlights some significant points.
The producer provided a forage analysis of some rye hay. It was very low in protein (6.1%) and energy (47% of total digestible nutrients). “That is not surprising based on the wet spring and subsequent delays in getting hay harvested,” Schmitz said. “His plan is to feed this to dry, spring-calving cows this winter.”
Three different feeding options were explored, based on the body condition score of the cows:
- If the cows are in adequate body condition, BCS 5, the supplemental feed needs for this hay is 4 pounds per head per day of a mix of one-third each corn gluten feed, soybean hull pellets, and rolled corn to meet the nutrient requirements of mid-gestation cows.
- If the cows are thin and body condition needs to be added, the rate of body condition score increase is important. Adding one-fourth BCS per month, about 20 to 25 pounds of cow gain per month, requires the supplement feeding rate to increase to 7 pounds per head per day of the one-third commodity mix mentioned above.
- Assuming the cows need to add BCS at the rate of one-half BCS per month, approximately 40 to 50 pounds of gain per month, the supplement rate jumps to 10 pounds per head per day of the one-third commodity mix.
How can producers prevent getting themselves into this box?
“Simply do not let BCS slip on the cows to the extent that extreme feeding measures are needed to correct the problem,” Schmitz said.

NAIROBI, Kenya (Morning Star News) – Muslim extremists in eastern Uganda last month cut off the hand of a 42-year-old father who left Islam to become a Christian in June, sources said.
Musa John Kasadah of Maumo village, Luuka District was ambushed on July 26 as he tried to flee to safety with his family, who had joined him in putting faith in Christ at an open-air event on June 17, said his wife, Asiya Naigaga. The couple have six children, including two adults.
Kasadah was attacked at about 11:45 a.m. at Nakabondo village, near Bukadde village, while fleeing for safety to Nawaningi village, Iganga District, she said.
After Kasadah and his family had attended church services for three weeks and missed mosque Friday prayers, sources said, their pastor received a message from one of Kasadah’s brothers that read, “It has come to our attention that Musa Kasadah and the family are attending your church. This should stop immediately, otherwise your church is at risk.”
The pastor, whose name is with withheld for security reasons, arranged for the Kasadah family to be housed with a local Maumo official, she said. Area Muslims discovered their location after two weeks, and one of them showed up there ostensibly to obtain work on a sugarcane plantation as the family was preparing to leave on July 26, sources said.
In the course of talking with the homeowner, the Muslim learned that the Kasadah family was on their way to Iganga District, Naigaga said. The family had gone about 15 kilometers (nine miles) when four Muslim extremists in the middle of a road between sugarcane plantations stopped them, she said.
“They began questioning my husband, saying, ‘You thought that we shall not get hold of you? We have been tracking you from the house of [the local official, unidentified for security reasons] to here, and today is your last day to be alive. Allah has given you into our hands,’” Naigaga said. “They started beating my husband and then got hold of me and tied me up. They forced me to sing Christian songs as they began chopping off my husband’s hand.”
Naigaga said one of the assailants, Ndiwo Huraira, hit her husband with a large stick on the back while the others began striking him, and that Kasimu Magulu took a long Somali sword and began cutting off his hand, intending to kill him. After chopping off his hand and part of his forearm, a truck arrived with sugarcane workers, and the assailants disappeared into the plantation, she said.
“The workers on the truck then bound the wound of my husband’s hand and untied me and took us to the nearby clinic for first aid,” she said, adding that she phoned the local official. “He came and found my husband in great pain and arranged an ambulance that took him to Mbale Referral Hospital for specialized treatment.”
Waiting for Kasadah to heal, the family has yet to file a police report.
The attack was the latest of many instances of persecution of Christians in Uganda that Morning Star News has documented.
Uganda’s constitution and other laws provide for religious freedom, including the right to propagate one’s faith and convert from one faith to another. Muslims make up no more than 12 percent of Uganda’s population, with high concentrations in eastern areas of the country.

Environmental groups sue US over Puerto Rico dredging plan
The Center for Biological Diversity filed a lawsuit Tuesday against the U.S government, accusing it of endangering wildlife and humans as it prepares to dredge and expand Puerto Rico’s biggest bay to accommodate massive tankers that will serve a new liquid natural gas terminal.
The Arizona-based nonprofit said the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ $60 million project would remove 2.2 million cubic yards of seafloor sediment to deepen and widen San Juan Bay’s shipping channels.
Dredging would last more than a year, and some of the material could be transported to the nearby Condado Lagoon Estuarine Reserve, which is popular with locals and tourists who swim, snorkel and paddleboard its waters, where manatees and starfish are a common sight.
The lawsuit also states that several “overburdened environmental justice communities” near and around the U.S. territory’s north coast could be at risk from pollution, explosions and oil spills if the dredging is completed and the terminal starts operating. It noted that the Corps did not consult with communities that could be affected.
“This project will destroy corals and threaten communities and deepen the island’s dangerous dependence on fossil fuels,” Catherine Kilduff, an attorney for the center, told The Associated Press.
The center and two environmental groups — CORALations and El Puente de Williamsburg Inc. — filed the lawsuit against the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and others. They have 60 days to respond, and then both sides would make arguments before a judge issues a decision that can be appealed.
Spokespeople for the two government agencies did not immediately return a message for comment. The Corps previously stated that dredged materials in the Condado Lagoon would fill depressions and create seagrass habitat.
The lawsuit states that the Corps submitted an environmental assessment instead of a more rigorous environmental impact statement and accused it of reaching an erroneous determination in August 2018 that dredging would have no environmental impact.
The lawsuit noted that more than 1.5 million people live in eight cities and towns that surround the San Juan Bay: “The coastal economy Is connected to the bay and its health.”
If the dredging project is completed, tankers transporting petroleum and liquefied natural gas would carry about six times the capacity of vessels that currently use Puerto Rico’s busiest harbor.
It’s located in a bay that is part of a larger ecosystem made up of rivers, lagoons and a smaller bay that cover 3,400 acres and are home to threatened and endangered animals including four types of sea turtles, manatees and the yellow-shouldered blackbird.
Kilduff said the nonprofits are demanding an environmental impact statement in part because of new information on how dredging smothers corals.
“So much of Puerto Rico’s economy depends on coastal resources like tourism and fishing,” she said.
The lawsuit also warned that the dredging project would “hasten damage, weathering and erosion of the coast and structures” including two massive historic forts that guarded San Juan Bay during colonial times.
The nonprofits said a smaller project with more robust mitigation such as the use of sediment curtains and requiring new seals on barges could reduce environmental damage.
“The agency failed to take a ‘hard look’ at the direct, indirect and cumulative environmental impacts of its decision before acting,” the lawsuit stated.
The complaint is the latest hit on plans to build a liquefied natural gas import terminal in San Juan that has come under intense scrutiny. In June, a federal appeals court ruled that New York-based New Fortress Energy Inc. did not obtain the necessary permits before starting construction of the terminal and must face a review by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
Environmental groups have long rejected construction of the terminal as they demand that Puerto Rico lessen its dependence on fossil fuels, which generate about 97% of the island’s electricity. Natural gas represents roughly 44% and petroleum another 37%. Renewables account for only 3%.

Bronny James is, without a doubt, one of the most popular Preps hoop stars in the world. Of course, a lot of that comes from the spotlight of his father LeBron James. But don’t get it messed up, the kid can hoop!
Playing in the Club Basketball Euro Tour overseas, a Bronny highlight made a splash online as during a fast break, the young star destroys a defender with an in-and-out dribble leading to a massive slam.
“OH MY GOODNESS BRONNY!!!!!,” King James sounded off.

NEW YORK — Donald Trump’s longtime finance chief is expected to plead guilty as soon as Thursday in a tax evasion case that is the only criminal prosecution to arise from a long-running investigation into the former president’s company, three people familiar with the matter told The Associated Press.
Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg was scheduled to be tried in October on allegations he took more than $1.7 million in off-the-books compensation from the company, including rent, car payments and school tuition.
Prosecutors in the Manhattan district attorney's office and Weisselberg's lawyers met Monday with the judge overseeing the case, Juan Manuel Merchan, according to court records. The judge then scheduled a hearing in the matter for 9 a.m. Thursday but did not specify the reason.
The people who spoke to the AP did so on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the case. They said the purpose of Thursday’s hearing was for Weisselberg to enter a guilty plea, but cautioned that plea deals sometimes fall apart before they are finalized in court.
Weisselberg’s lawyer, Nicholas Gravante Jr., told The New York Times on Monday that Weisselberg has been engaged in plea negotiations to resolve the case, but did not specify terms of a potential plea deal. Reached by the AP, Gravante declined to comment.
The Times, citing two people with knowledge of the matter, said Weisselberg was expected to receive a five-month jail sentence, which would make him eligible for release after about 100 days. The deal would not require Weisselberg to testify or cooperate in any way with an ongoing criminal investigation into Trump's business practices.
Trump’s company, the Trump Organization, is also charged in the case but did not appear to be involved in the plea agreement talks. Weisselberg and the Trump Organization have pleaded not guilty.
The Manhattan district attorney’s office declined comment. A message seeking comment was left with a lawyer for the Trump Organization.
News of Weisselberg’s plea negotiations came days after the judge denied requests by his lawyers and the Trump Organization to throw out the case. The judge did drop one criminal tax fraud count against the company citing the statute of limitations, but more than a dozen other counts remain.
In seeking dismissal of the case, Weisselberg’s lawyers argued prosecutors in the Democrat-led district attorney’s office were punishing him because he wouldn’t offer up damaging information against the former president.
The judge rejected that argument, saying that evidence presented to the grand jury was legally sufficient to support the charges.
Weisselberg, who turned 75 on Monday, is the only Trump executive charged in the yearslong criminal investigation started by former Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr., who went to the Supreme Court to secure Trump’s tax records. Vance’s successor, Alvin Bragg, is now overseeing the investigation. Several other Trump executives have been granted immunity to testify before a grand jury in the case.
Prosecutors alleged that Weisselberg and the Trump Organization schemed to give off-the-books compensation to senior executives, including Weisselberg, for 15 years. Weisselberg alone was accused of defrauding the federal government, state and city out of more than $900,000 in unpaid taxes and undeserved tax refunds.
The most serious charge against Weisselberg, grand larceny, carried a potential penalty of five to 15 years in prison. The tax fraud charges against the company are punishable by a fine of double the amount of unpaid taxes, or $250,000, whichever is larger.
Trump has not been charged in the criminal probe, but prosecutors have noted that he signed some of the checks at the center of the case. Trump, who has decried the New York investigations as a “political witch hunt,” has said his company’s actions were standard practice in the real estate business and in no way a crime.
Last week, Trump sat for a deposition in New York Attorney General Letitia James’ parallel civil investigation into allegations Trump’s company misled lenders and tax authorities about asset values. Trump invoked his Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination more than 400 times.
In the months after Weisselberg’s arrest, the criminal probe appeared to be progressing toward a possible criminal indictment of Trump himself, but the investigation slowed, a grand jury was disbanded and a top prosecutor left after Bragg took office in January — although he insists it is continuing. | https://www.wfmynews2.com/article/news/nation-world/trumps-cfo-expected-to-plead-guilty-in-ny-tax-case/507-406b9289-8dd4-4202-9bc1-27e287824461 | 2022-08-16T13:29:21Z | https://www.wfmynews2.com/article/news/nation-world/trumps-cfo-expected-to-plead-guilty-in-ny-tax-case/507-406b9289-8dd4-4202-9bc1-27e287824461 | false | 83 |

Shiba Inu (SHIB) Retraces After 40% Daily Increase
Valdrin Tahiri - BeInCrypto
2022-08-16 10:00
Shiba Inu (SHIB) has made four attempts at breaking out from a descending resistance line. While all of them have been unsuccessful, the price is gearing up for yet another one.
SHIB has been decreasing underneath a descending resistance line since Dec 24. This movement led to a low of $0.00000714 on June 18. So far, the price has made four unsuccessful breakout attempts, the most recent on Aug 14 (red arrow).
This also coincided with a rejection from the $0.00001780 horizontal resistance area. So far, the resistance line has been in place for 233 days.
During the short-term upward movement, the daily RSI has moved above 50. This is considered a sign of bullish trends. While the indicator is currently oversold, it has not yet generated any sort of bearish divergence, allowing for the possibility that the price will break out.
Short-term movement
The six-hour chart does not show a clear pattern. While it is possible that the price is following an ascending support line, the line has only been validated twice.
There seems to have been a resistance area at $0.0000128, which is likely to provide support if a retracement occurs.
SHIB wave count analysis
Cryptocurrency trader @Altstreetbet tweeted a chart of SHIB, stating that the price is in the process of completing wave four.
The most likely wave count does indicate that SHIB is in wave three of a five-wave upward movement. The sub-wave count is given in yellow.
If the count is correct, it would suggest that the price will break out from the aforementioned resistance line during wave three. Afterward, it will validate it as support during wave four prior to resuming its upward movement.

Texas Tech Hoops Releases Full Non-Conference Schedule
Texas Tech Red Raiders men's basketball released its complete non-conference schedule for the 2022-23 season Monday.
After the occasional announcement of certain matchups throughout the summer, Tech fans now know the full arsenal of games.
Here's the schedule:
Nov. 7 - vs. Northwestern State
Nov. 10 - vs. Texas Southern
Nov. 14 - vs. Lousiana Tech
Nov. 21 - vs. Creighton (Maui Invitational)
Nov. 30 - vs. Georgetown
Dec. 7 - vs. Nicholls St.
Dec. 13 - vs. Eastern Washington
Dec. 17 - vs. Jackson State (game in Houston)
Dec. 21 - vs. Houston Baptist
Dec. 27 - South Carolina State
Jan. 28 - @ LSU
Despite falling short of an Elite Eight after staying consistent as one of the best teams in the nation, the Red Raiders are looking for more in 2022-2023. During the offseason, Tech secured one of the nation's top transfers, Fardaws Aimaq, and getting a commitment from one of the best high school players in North America, Elijah Fisher.
Aimaq was the go-to guy for the Wolverines all season, but had one of his best performances in Utah Valley's huge upset over No. 12 BYU on Dec. 1, putting up 24 points and 22 rebounds. His dominant presence in the paint proves the competition in a major conference won't be an issue.
Transfer guard De'Vion Harmon, a former standout at Oklahoma, will give the Red Raiders some much-needed depth in the backcourt. Even in a crowded and talented Oregon backcourt last season, he averaged 10.8 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 1.3 steals on 41.5 percent shooting while starting all but one game for the Ducks.
D'Maurian Williams is another transfer that should bring some elite scoring upside off the bench for Adams and staff. At Gardner-Webb in the Big South last season, the 6-5, 195-pound guard averaged 14.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.5 assists, in 31.7 minutes per game.

Kevin Nash believes that WWE should not have separated AJ Styles and Omos
In 2021 AJ Styles and Omos formed one of the most fearsome teams in WWE. “The Phenomenal” and “The Nigerian Giant” devastated all their rivals until they achieved the Raw Tag Team Championships in WrestleMania 37. However, shortly after losing them, the two parted ways, allowing Styles to return to his facet. face.
However, and despite the fact that many fans were happy about the separation of the team, there are those who believe that both should have stayed together. It is the case of kevin nashwho in the latest episode of his podcast Kliq This, criticized the current bookeo of Omos in WWEnoting that the wrestler should have continued as AJ Styles’ bodyguard and tag team partner.
“Well, I don’t think you put him up against two guys on your number one show (WWE Raw) and don’t even announce who these two guys are,” Nash noted. “It really doesn’t matter, because this fight doesn’t mattersince we know the result”.
“I don’t think that helps,” he continued to explain. “They should never have separated him from AJ (Styles). But they turned AJ into a baby face. That’s where you learn a lot. I learned a lot being Shawn’s bodyguard (Michaels). He (Omos) is a different animal, also a man, who is actually 7’2. it’s just different“.
“Our philosophy during car rides was that the only way to get over it is for girls to want to sleep with you and guys to want to be you. So, instead of a giant, they could have presented him as if his family was incredibly wealthy and had mineral rights. You know, because he is eloquent. However, he is out there going ‘Ahhhhh’. It’s like, I don’t know.”
Omos is currently being represented by MVPwho betrayed bobby lashley to join the Nigerian, which led to both fighters facing each other in WrestleMania 38. The victory fell on Lashley’s side, although a month later, in WrestleMania Backlashthey would fight again, with a different result.
Despite this victory, Omos’ momentum appears to have stalled in recent months. With the arrival of Triple H to the creative area of WWE, some change was expected in this regard. However, last week Omos faced two local fighters in a Handicap Match without much history. We will have to see what the future holds for the Nigerian.

Bihar Politics: 'Don't insult Choti and Tika, OR ELSE...', 'Angry' Giriraj Singh WARNS Tejashwi Yadav
Bihar Politics: Tejashwi Yadav, while commenting on Giriraj Singh, had said that keeping a 'Choti' of one foot does not make one wise. Now Giriraj Singh has reacted sharply to this and has challenged him.
- Giriraj Singh said that the competition of false promises is going on between uncle and nephew.
- He said that the nephew had promised 10 lakh jobs and now the uncle has gone ahead and talked about 20 lakhs.
- Not only this, Giriraj Singh said that Nitish Kumar has also made a record.

Bihar Deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav, while commenting on Giriraj Singh, had said that keeping a 'Choti' of one foot does not make one wise. Now Giriraj Singh has reacted sharply to this and has challenged him. Giriraj Singh while talking to the media said, "You are the Yuvraj, I am the son of a farmer. Choti and Tika is the culture of India. Don't abuse it. You cannot say something on the beard and cap of the people of other religion. You cannot do this. Or else you will have to face consequences." Giriraj Singh said that he has no right to insult the culture of India.
Not only this, Giriraj Singh said that the competition of false promises is going on between uncle and nephew. He said that the nephew had promised 10 lakh jobs and now the uncle has gone ahead and talked about 20 lakhs. Not only this, Giriraj Singh said that Nitish Kumar has also made a record. He has run the government for about 20 years, but always depended on other people and never came to power on his own. The Union Minister said that for the first time and also for the last time, the BJP has made Nitish Kumar the Chief Minister without a majority.
In a scathing attack on Nitish Kumar, Giriraj Singh said that he has not become a tree till today. He said Nitish Kumar's potential can only be proved when he stands on its own. He said that immortality always hangs on other trees and covers its leaves and shows its own color. Giriraj Singh has actually tried to say through this that how Nitish Kumar is becoming CM even after fewer seats and other parties are accepting his leadership after more seats.

For the second consecutive year, 6sense is listed as one of the fastest-growing private firms by Inc. Magazine.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Inc. magazine revealed that 6sense, the leading platform for B2B organizations looking to generate predictable revenue, moved up 386 spots on the esteemed Inc. 5000 to No. 550. The Inc. 5000 list is the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The annual list represents a one-of-a-kind look at the most successful companies within the economy's most dynamic segment — its independent businesses.
"We are dedicated to transforming how sales and marketing teams grow revenue, efficiently and predictably," said Jason Zintak, CEO of 6sense. "The growth 6sense has experienced the past few years is a direct result of our difference makers—our employees, who inspire me with their passion, creativity, and integrity, and who give our customers the confidence that 6sense will continually provide meaningful value. This recognition is an honor we celebrate together."
6sense Revenue AI™ is the market-leading platform used by B2B revenue teams to address the $2 trillion in waste across sales and marketing efforts each year. Applying the power of AI, big data, and machine learning to replace uncertainty with insights and confidence across the entire buyer's journey has proven to increase average deal sizes by 100%, improve conversions by 20%, and close deals 30% faster.
"Building 6sense, we believed that knowing when buyers were in market to buy could vastly improve the B2B buying experience — and increase revenue for our customers. It was a simple idea, but hard to do. It would take best-in-class data, analytics, and AI to surface game-changing insights that predict which accounts are in market. Rising the ranks of the Inc. 5000 list is a significant recognition of the hard work and resilience every founder, leader, and team pours into their ideas," said Viral Bajaria, CTO and co-founder of 6sense.
"The accomplishment of building one of the fastest-growing companies in the U.S., in light of recent economic roadblocks, cannot be overstated," says Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc. "Inc. is thrilled to honor the companies that have established themselves through innovation, hard work, and rising to the challenges of today."
6sense has won several awards and distinctions this year, including being named a Forbes Cloud 100 Honoree, MarTech Breakthrough winner, B2B Marketing ABM Platform of the Year, Forbes AI 50, and one of the Top 50 Best Companies to Sell For.

Golden Knights' 2022-23 Position Groups: Goaltenders
In an offseason where the Vegas Golden Knights wanted to move on and forget about the down year that was last season, the recent news of goaltender Robin Lehner sitting out for all of the 2022-23 season has put a damper on the fresh start.
Now, the most glaring question surrounding the Golden Knights is how the team can possibly replace the veteran goalie.
Here's a look at some of the goaltenders in Vegas' locker room, including Lehner.
Robin Lehner
While the announcement of Lehner missing the 2022-23 season was rather shocking for most who were unaware of the goaltender's required hip surgery, the veteran did battle a number of injuries last season that could have foreshadowed such an event this offseason.
Lehner still managed to play in 44 contests for the Golden Knights last season, having made 1,168 saves with a .907% save percentage.
His loss sparks a bit of a crisis for Vegas, as the team does not have much starting experience when it comes to the rest of the goaltenders on the roster.
Logan Thompson
Logan Thompson is really the Golden Knights' best hope in net as of right now.
Read More
In what was his true rookie campaign last year (he played just one game in the 2020-21 season), Thompson stepped up throughout the second half of the season when Lehner was in and out of play.
Thompson was especially impressive when Lehner sat out from early March to early April, having gone 6-3, including a four-game win streak that was capped off with his first career shutout.
He finished the season with a 10-5-3 record with a .914 save percentage.
Michael Hutchinson
It was a good thing the Golden Knights picked up goaltender Michael Hutchinson last month, as he could very well be called upon for many of the team's 2022-23 contests.
Hutchinson has not appeared in many games since his best years with the Winnipeg Jets, but with Lehner out, the veteran may just need to step up for the first time in a long time.
Hutchinson comes off what was his second stint with the Toronto Maple Leafs, having only played in a total of 10 contests over the last two seasons.

Over 30 ministers were inducted into Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar's new Cabinet on Tuesday, 16 August, echoing Lalu Prasad Yadav’s Muslim-Yadav formula, with the additional inclusion of legislators from all sections of the society.
There are altogether seven Yadav legislators who have found a place in the Cabinet – six from Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), including the two sons of Lalu Prasad, and the seventh – Bijendra Yadav of the Janata Dal (United).
The Yadavs featured in the Cabinet are – Surendra Prasad Yadav (RJD), Lalit Yadav (RJD), Chandrashekhar (RJD), Ramanand Yadav (RJD), Jitendra Kumar Rai (RJD), and Bijendra Yadav (JDU), besides Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav.
The forming of the Mahagathbandhan government was expected to also bring together the RJD's Muslim-Yadav base, JD(U)'s support among Kurmis, MBCs and Mahadalits and the pockets of influence of Congress and CPI-ML, making it a formidable alliance.
Here's how Nitish Kumar has gone beyond the Muslim-Yadav formula.
Other Sections
Although a pro-OBC bias was expected in the alliance dominated by the RJD and JD(U), both owing their rise to the Mandal agitation, members of the upper castes also found a place.
Two Bhumihar ministers – Kartikeya Singh (RJD) and Vijay Kumar Chaudhary (JDU), three Rajputs – Leshi Singh (JDU), Sumit Kumar Singh (Independent), and Sudhakar Singh (RJD) and one Bhramin representative – Sanjay Kumar Jha (JDU) also featured in the Cabinet.
The CM’s close aide, Shravan Kumar, who belongs to the Kurmi caste, also took oath on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, three of the ministers are women – Sheela Kumari, Leshi Singh (both JDU), and Anita Devi (RJD).
There are five Muslims as well – Zama Khan (JDU), Mohd Afaque Alam (Congress), Mohd Shamim, Mohd Israil Mansuri, and Shahnawaz Alam from RJD.
Ministers from the Scheduled Castes (SC) include five Dalits – Ashok Choudhary (JDU), Kumar Sarvajeet, Surendra Ram (RJD), Murari Gautam (Congress), and Santosh Kumar Suman (HAM) have been included in the new Cabinet.
Meanwhile, the sizeable number of Muslims and Yadavs, apparently, led Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national spokesman Sanjay Mayukh to allege that “this is not a Cabinet headed by Nitish Kumar. It bears the imprint of Tejashwi Yadav. We will expose the inherent contradictions of this opportunistic alliance.”
A week ago, Nitish Kumar had snapped ties with the BJP and formed a new coalition government with the RJD and others.
Hailing the new Cabinet, Bihar Deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav, said:
"This is the government of poor people in Bihar. We will work together to fulfill our promises. Since the new government has been formed, there are discussions about employment and development... We have people from all castes, including backwards, minorities and Dalits."
The leaders who took oath on Tuesday include:
JD(U)
Ashok Choudhary
Shravan Kumar
Leshi Singh
Sanjay Jha
Madan Sahni
Sheela Kumari
Mohd Zama Khan
Jayant Raj
RJD
Surendra Prasad Yadav
Ramanand Yadav
Lalit Yadav
Kumar Saravjit
Chandra Shekhar
Samir Kumar Mahaseth
Anita Devi
Sudhakar Singh
Jitendra Kumar Rai
Mohammad Israil Mansuri
Master Kartik
Shahnawaz Alam
Shamim Ahmad
Akhtarul Islam Sahin
Bhai Virendra
Congress
Afaque Alam
Murari Prasad Gautam

Veteran India wicketkeeper batter Dinesh Karthik recalled the moment which made current skipper Rohit Sharma upset and tore him into shreds. Rohit has been one of the consistent performers in white-ball cricket for the past decade but it wasn’t the same case in Test cricket until 2019. The swashbuckling opener started his career as a middle-order batter across formats but failed to score consistently, however, MS Dhoni used him as an opener in white-ball cricket which worked well.
Despite showing his batting prowess as an opener in limited-overs cricket, India continue to use him as a middle-order batter in Tests but he lacked consistency and lost his place in 2018.

Karthik, who shared a great bond and friendship with Rohit, said that he didn’t see that coming and was hurt after getting dropped from the Test side for England tour in 2018.
“He had almost gone down the path where he was so successful as a white-ball cricketer. He was happy doing that. And when he did come back into the Test team, you’ve got to remember in 2018, he was dropped from the Test team. He was sent back after the white-ball leg and that really hurt him. Rohit Sharma did not see that coming and that really tore him to shreds,” Karthik said in the docu-series Summer Stalemate on Cricbuzz.

However, Rohit returned to the Test set-up after a glorious form in 2019 ODI World Cup as then head coach Ravi Shastri and skipper Virat Kohli decided to use him as an opener in red-ball cricket too. The swashbuckling scored big centuries at home on his comeback in Test cricket against South Africa. He also had a memorable tour to England in 2021 where he smashed his maiden Test century on overseas soil.
Kohli relinquished his Test captaincy earlier this year and the BCCI took some time to appoint the next skipper and chose Rohit to take the team forward. He led the Indian cricket team to a 2-0 series win over Sri Lanka on his first assignment as regular captain.

DETROIT (AP) — General Motors is recalling more than 484,000 large SUVs in the U.S. to fix a problem that can cause the third-row seat belts to malfunction.
The recall covers Chevrolet Suburbans and Tahoes, Cadillac Escalades and GMC Yukons from the 2021 and 2022 model years.
The automaker says in documents posted Tuesday by U.S. safety regulators that rivets that hold the buckle to the mounting bracket on the left- and right side third-row seats may have been formed improperly. The belts may not properly restrain a passenger in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
The company says it’s not aware of any crashes or injuries caused by the problem.
Dealers will inspect the rivet heads and replace buckle assemblies if needed. Owners will be notified starting Sept. 26. | https://www.theridgefieldpress.com/business/article/GM-recalls-484K-big-SUVs-to-fix-problem-third-row-17376422.php | 2022-08-16T13:48:56Z | https://www.theridgefieldpress.com/business/article/GM-recalls-484K-big-SUVs-to-fix-problem-third-row-17376422.php | true | null |
NUR-SULTAN – Over the past decade, Korean pop culture has swept the globe. Many countries have witnessed a massive rise in K-pop fans. While Kazakhstan was no exception, Korean culture has been particularly welcomed in Kazakhstan, said Lee Hyeran, director of the Korean Cultural Center in Kazakhstan in an interview with The Astana Times.
This year, 2022, is designated as the year of cultural exchange between Kazakhstan and Korea after the official visit of President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev to Seoul in August 2021, the first foreign leader to visit South Korea since the pandemic began.
Cultural exchanges have been an important part of growing bilateral ties between Kazakhstan and South Korea which celebrate 30 years of diplomatic relations in 2022.
“In my opinion, the reason [for K-Pop popularity] lies in the cultural and emotional commonalities between our people. The two countries have countless common features, such as a beautiful native language, genuine care for family and neighbors, and a traditional culture associated with the expression of joy and sorrow,” she said. The Korean Cultural Center, established in March 2010, is the only such center in Central Asia.
Korean pop culture, also known as the Korean Hallyu wave, includes the K-Pop genre, K-Drama (Korean series), K-Movies (Korean movies), and K-Foods (Korean food). All are very popular in Kazakhstan.
“The K-Pop genre is known not only for its uniquely vivid and sensual performances, but it has also played a role in conveying a message of hope and mutual assistance, unity and harmony to future generations. In particular, during the pandemic, K-Pop stars encouraged people all over the world and conveyed their warm feelings through various campaigns and activities,” said Lee.
South Korea has hosted several events to introduce Kazakhstan to its citizens, including a Kazakh Film Festival in Pusan and the visit of Kazakhstan’s State National Academic Korean Theater of Musical Comedy to Korea to present a play based on Anton Chekhov’s “The Seagull.” The theater, one of the oldest Korean national theaters in the world, celebrates its 90th anniversary this year.
“In May, we visited three Kazakh cities such as Taldykorgan, Aktau and Kostanai for the 11th Korean Film Festival in Kazakhstan. As part of this year’s festival, two Korean films were screened – ‘Little Forest’ and ‘Tunnel.’ The film screenings provided the center with an opportunity to communicate directly with people from different regions of Kazakhstan,” said Lee.
In June, the center opened the exhibition of Korean artist Park Dae Song at the National Museum of Kazakhstan, which lasted from June 24 to Aug. 14.
The same month, famous Korean K-Pop artists Baek Ji-young, VIVIZ and HIGHLIGHT performed at a concert in the Kazakh capital. The entire concert hall with 2,700 seats was filled up.
“The concert was held to thank Kazakhstan’s citizens for their love for the K-Pop genre. The concert audience had a chance to enjoy Korean culture and the K-Pop genre. By organizing a concert of K-Pop artists representing Korea, we could see once again the great interest and popularity of the K-Pop genre among the people of Kazakhstan,” said Lee.
Kazakh Minister of Culture and Sports Dauren Abayev also attended the concert. “The interest of Kazakh citizens, especially young people, in Korean culture is growing. This is evidenced by the success of events during the Year of Cultural Exchange. For example, a K-pop concert that drew a full house. I was personally present at this event, and I would like to note that it was a large-scale spectacle,” said Abayev at an Aug. 2 meeting with the deputies of the South Korea National Assembly.
Numerous events are planned through the end of the year to foster greater cultural exchanges and understanding.
In September, the center, working with the Astana Opera Theatre will hold a Gala-Opera classical music concert with the specially invited world-famous Korean diva-soprano Sumi Jo performing with some of the brightest and most talented Kazakh vocalists.
The Museum of the Library of the First President will host the exhibition “Love, Created from the Heart. Children Clothes” where children’s Hanbok traditional Korean clothes will be presented.
The Korean Cultural Center will host an exhibition “Baekje Kingdom Historical Area,” where the public will be able to learn more about the Baekje Kingdom founded in 18 BC, try on traditional clothes of the Baekje era and taste dishes of that era.
Some other events planned by the center will give an opportunity to the public to try Korean traditional food, and explore the world of the Korean beauty industry as well as the country’s traditional clothes. Lee said that all events and their dates are announced on the center’s social media pages.
Kazakhstan and Korea have more in common than might appear at first glance. Kazakhstan is also home to more than 100,000 ethnic Koreans, a testament to the close ties that have been there for more than 30 years. | https://astanatimes.com/2022/08/cultural-and-emotional-closeness-make-korean-pop-culture-welcome-in-kazakhstan-as-two-countries-celebrate-year-of-cultural-exchanges/ | 2022-08-16T13:49:15Z | https://astanatimes.com/2022/08/cultural-and-emotional-closeness-make-korean-pop-culture-welcome-in-kazakhstan-as-two-countries-celebrate-year-of-cultural-exchanges/ | false | 1 |
FAA Grants Delta Temporary Slot Waivers In New York, Washington
The decision will allow the airline to cut certain flights from three airports while maintaining slot usage rights.
Posted
Delta Air Lines has been granted a temporary slot waiver to reduce some flights at New York John F Kennedy (JFK) and LaGuardia (LGA), as well as Ronald Reagan Washington National (DCA).
The carrier asked the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to treat canceled movements at these airports as if they had been flown, citing circumstances that were “unforeseen, highly unusual, and unpredictable conditions that are beyond its control.”
It highlighted issues including New York airport construction, pilot and flight attendant sick time, severe weather and air traffic control delays and cancellations. Delta said its pilots missed 13,748 days due to sickness compared in June 2022—a 50% increase compared with June 2019.
After reviewing the request, the FAA said it would waive the minimum slot usage requirements for specific scheduled flights at JFK and LGA, as well as certain nonstop DCA operations to and from JFK or LGA. The relief covers June 1 through Sept. 5.
“FAA believes it is appropriate to provide relief to afford opportunities for Delta to make schedule adjustments or reductions and to adjust resources and staff assignments as appropriate at these key airports,” the agency said.
It added the relief should provide Delta sufficient time to manage current operational challenges, while adjusting network resources to reliably use its allocated slots in the future.
However, the FAA said it was concerned that the partial grant of Delta’s request could lead to close-in cancellation of summer travel plans for many consumers at a time where limited availability exists on alternative flights.
It has therefore requested that Delta makes “efforts to avoid disruptions for consumers” by offering them a refund or flights with another carrier for canceled services at JFK, LGA, and DCA covered by the slot waiver. | https://www.routesonline.com/news/29/breaking-news/298494/faa-grants-delta-temporary-slot-waivers-in-new-york-washington/ | 2022-08-16T13:49:41Z | https://www.routesonline.com/news/29/breaking-news/298494/faa-grants-delta-temporary-slot-waivers-in-new-york-washington/ | false | 1 |

Final night in the house I grew up in. Tomorrow it becomes someone else’s house. They’ll be its second owner. I had long forgotten, until this afternoon, that there was a peculiar additional doorbell on the exterior wall facing the backyard. Not quite Rosebud, but something for sure.

BUCHA, Ukraine (AP) — Former U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called on the world Tuesday to honor civilians who were killed when Russian ground forces tried to invade Ukraine's capital and eventually retreated from the area surrounding Kyiv.
Ban, a former South Korean diplomat who served as secretary-general between 2007 and 2016, visited Bucha, a city northwest of the Ukrainian capital where hundreds of civilians were found dead after the Russian withdrawal in late March.
“It’s hard to express my feelings. It’s a horrendous atrocity. It’s a crime against humanity and (those responsible) should be held accountable,” Ban told The Associated Press after visiting the Church of St. Andrew the Apostle.
Authorities said 116 bodies were found in a mass grave near the church after Russian soldiers pulled out.
“All the people killed here without any reason should be fully honored and remembered in the history of humankind," Ban said.
He traveled to Ukraine as part of an international peace initiative known as The Elders, which former South African President Nelson Mandela founded in 2007.
Ban was joined by former Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos, who is a Nobel Peace Prize laureate like the late Mandela. Santos also described the massacre of Ukrainian civilians as a crime against humanity.
“The whole world should be very much aware of what is happening and be in a position to support the Ukrainian people in their effort to gain their peace and freedom,” Santos told the AP.
The two former leaders visited the site of the mass grave behind the church and visited a display of photographs inside the building with scenes from the aftermath of the intense fighting in Bucha in late February and March.
The civilian killings at Bucha have become a symbol of brutality of the war. They were carried out as Russia launched a failed effort to capture the Ukrainian capital after it invaded the country on Feb. 24.
Municipal authorities say 458 bodies have been found in the Bucha area since the city's 33-day Russian occupation ended. The victims include 12 children, who in most cases were killed with their parents.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has appeared to suggest Matthijs de Ligt has a better chance of developing at Bayern Munich than at Juventus.
The Dutchman left the Bianconeri for the Bavarians in this transfer window after joining them in 2019.
De Ligt was one of the key men at Juve, and he had the trust of the managers he worked with at the club.
However, he asked to leave the Allianz Stadium before the start of this season, and the Bianconeri obliged.
Bayern is one of the biggest clubs in Europe and they have enjoyed more European success than Juve has done in the last decade.
The Bavarians have continued to dominate the German game, and they have money to burn.
Klopp believes they are a top club and probably more attractive than Juve. He told Kicker, as quoted by Calciomercato: “The attractiveness of Bayern should not be underestimated. There the probability of winning and growing is relatively high, greater for example than Juventus in Italy. Likewise, it is a big step forward to go from Ajax to Bayern. We are talking about a world-class club, economically solid as a rock and also for this reason it is one of the most successful clubs in the world. “
Juve FC Says
Klopp has his opinion, and it should be respected. However, as Juve fans, we know that there is not much difference between our team and Bayern.
They have dominated the German game, and we have dominated the Italian game until the last two seasons.
It might take some time, but we will become the biggest club in Italy again soon. | https://www.juvefc.com/klopp-explains-de-ligts-decision-to-quit-juventus-for-bayern-munich/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=klopp-explains-de-ligts-decision-to-quit-juventus-for-bayern-munich | 2022-08-16T14:02:00Z | https://www.juvefc.com/klopp-explains-de-ligts-decision-to-quit-juventus-for-bayern-munich/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=klopp-explains-de-ligts-decision-to-quit-juventus-for-bayern-munich | true | 1 |
'Hat trick' Putin humiliated as THREE elite Ka-52 Russian attack choppers shot down
VLADIMIR PUTIN is facing further humiliation as three elite Ka-52 Russian attack choppers were shot down over Ukraine in just a few days.
Ukraine: Russian BMP-1 vehicle destroyed by anti-tank mine
Ukrainian air defences brought down a Russian aircraft yesterday, a military expert claimed. Two other Ka-52s were shot down over the weekend, making it the third aircraft to have been shot down in three days. Reporting the losses, war correspondent and former US Navy SEAL Chuck Pfarrer tweeted: "HAT TRICK: On 15 AUG, Ukrainian air defence brought down a Russian Ka-52 attack helicopter.
"It is the third Russian Ka-52 to be shot down in three days.
"UKR anti-air defences also downed two Ka-52s over the weekend."
Earlier this month, Ukrainian forces reportedly shot down almost every single missile launched in a Russian air strike.
A spokesperson for Ukraine's Air Force Command, Yury Ihnat, reported that Ukraine's air defence intercepted seven out of eight missiles launched in a Russian strike.

Horror as Putin tipped for SECOND European invasion
Vladimir Putin could start a second invasion as fears grow he could "start to have a war" in another European country, an expert has claimed.
The missiles were launched from the Caspian Sea on the evening of August 2.
They targeted southern, central and western Ukrainian oblasts.
The day before, two Russian rockets were shot down over Vinnytsia, Vinnytsia Oblast Governor Serhii Borzov said.
Mr Borzov said anti-aircraft alerts over the city were working effectively.
But details of the area where the rockets were targeting have not been disclosed.
This comes as Russia continues to suffer a series of setbacks in its war against Ukraine.
The army has so far taken heavy losses, with the Ukrainian Army estimating that as many as 40,000 Russian soldiers have been killed.
As many as 22 aircraft and 190 helicopters have reportedly been wiped out.
Amid the heavy losses suffered by Russia, earlier this month the Kremlin accused the US of playing a direct role in the Ukraine war.

A spokesperson for Moscow's defence ministry, Lt Gen Igor Konashenkov, alleged the US was approving targets for American-made HIMARS rocket systems, which are used by Kyiv's forces.
He said intercepted calls between Ukrainian officials revealed the link.
Mr Konashenkov said: "It is the Biden administration that is directly responsible for all rocket attacks approved by Kyiv on residential areas and civilian infrastructure facilities in settlements of Donbas and other regions that caused mass deaths of civilians."
Ukraine has denied the US was providing direct targeting information.
A spokesperson for the Pentagon said it provided Ukraine with "detailed, time-sensitive information to help them understand the threats they face and defend their country against Russian aggression".
Russia has previously accused the US of engaging in a "proxy" war with Ukraine.
Speaking in April, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the country's decision to supply Ukraine with billions of dollars worth of arms meant that "NATO, in essence, is engaged in a war with Russia through a proxy and is arming that proxy".
He added: "War means war." | https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1655983/Ukraine-war-vladimir-Putin-Russia-invasion-losses-chopper-aircraft | 2022-08-16T14:02:32Z | https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1655983/Ukraine-war-vladimir-Putin-Russia-invasion-losses-chopper-aircraft | true | 1 |
ROTKREUZ, Switzerland, Aug. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- According to Orit Shifman CEO and Founder of ARK TRADE AG the recent insights estimations generated by ARK TRADE's AI-powered digital trading platform, the Steel, Aluminum, and Copper prices are at their lowest point since January 2022, while cost of Lumber is significantly lower than prices at the beginning of year. Orit Shifman, ARK TRADE's CEO and Founder: "Our AI platform estimates that Steel prices will continue to be affected by the ongoing global crises."
- Steel: currently traded at $618 (USD) per ton; 20.7% less than peak price and 10% less than price at beginning of 2022
- Aluminum: currently traded at $2,434 (USD) per ton; a sharp 36.7% drop from peak price and 14% less than price at beginning of 2022
- Copper: currently traded at $3.67 (USD) per pound; 25.5% less than peak price and 17% less than price at beginning of 2022
- Lumber (per 1,000 feet): Currently traded at $588 (USD) per FBM. Commonly used in home construction in the USA, prices significantly lower than at beginning of 2022
As with many other traded commodities, this year we've seen prices for materials used in construction and public infrastructure skyrocket. However, analysis generated by the artificial intelligence (AI) powering ARK TRADE's digital platform, points to a significant drop in the prices of these materials, with the prices of Steel, Aluminum and Copper even lower than their price at the beginning of the year.
"ARK TRADE AI insights estimate that steel prices will continue to be affected by the ongoing global crisis," said Orit Shifman.
Steel Rebar is a principal material for the construction industry, used for creating the base for floors and ceiling pouring, and as the base for supporting beams. The majority of trade in Steel takes place in China, where it was priced at $686 (USD) per ton at the start of 2022. By May, the price shot up to $770 per ton. Today the price is at a low $618 (USD) per ton, 20.7% less than its peak price and 10% less than it was at beginning of the year.
Estimations at ARK TRADE claim that concerns of disruptions along Steel supply chains, and fear of subsequent rise in prices, prompted importers to place much larger orders than needed. Many of these importers are now in possession of large stocks and are reluctant to accept new orders for the material. According to insights generated by ARK TRADE's AI, the system estimates that the parameter for 'world crises' which includes inflation, interest rate hikes, fear of recession, and a slowdown in real estate purchases are likely to have a major impact on the price of Steel in the near future. It in fact estimates that over 32% of the difference in price of Steel in the short term will be affected by it.
Aluminum, also used considerably in construction, especially in infrastructure and finishings, registered sharp fluctuation in price. At the start of 2022, Aluminum traded at $2,840 (USD) before shooting up 35%, to $3,850 per ton, in early March. As of August 12th, Aluminum is traded at $2,434 per ton, plunging 36.7% below this year's peak price and 14% less than its price in January.
ARK TRADE reasons that the recent COVID restrictions lifted in China, the world's largest consumer of Aluminum, factories have gone back to full production. Dwindling demand for the metal, used in electrical infrastructure, real estate, and the automotive industry, has caused the market to flood with Aluminum and a sharp decline in price.
Copper, also used for electricity and energy infrastructure, began 2022 at $4.42 (USD) per pound, peaking at $4.93 in March, then dropping 28% to be traded at $3.67 per pound as of August 12th, 17% less than January's price. ARK TRADE suggests that this can be attributed in large part to the largest Copper mine in Peru going back to full production post Covid.
Lumber (per 1,000 feet) sold at $1,112 (USD) at the start of the year, reached $1,464 in March. Curiously, strong demand for housing in the U.S., where Lumber is the predominant construction material, has had no effect on its price. In fact, the current price for Lumber is $588 – significantly lower than it was in the beginning of the year.
ARK TRADE AI Insight Estimations: Steel prices will continue to be affected by global crises.
ARK TRADE, founded by the entrepreneur Orit Shifman, has developed a proprietary AI digital platform for global trading of commodities and finished goods. The platform gathers enormous amounts of data from around the globe, including information not used regularly by analysts, all bearing varying levels of impact on product price and availability. Therein, financial data, news reports, weather forecast, global warming, local and international politics, COVID reports, and social media are all fused, processed and analyzed. ARK TRADE has pointed out that thus far 2022 has been characterized by the heavy impact of its system's 'world crises' parameter on commodity prices, such as the war and its bearing on the agricultural commodity market, or the influence of recent inflation and growing concern for a possible global recession.
ARK TRADE estimate that according to all the commodity prices checked, the 'product price' parameter is the leading parameter when estimating future demand. Among the many parameters scanned by ARK TRADE's AI which are ranked as having an impact on the short-term price fluctuation in certain commodities, the system estimated that the parameter of 'product price' will be between 68% in Steel to 55% in Aluminum, to 40% in Copper.
That said, estimations for future prices for Steel remain susceptible to 'world crises', with the weight of this parameter contributing to 32% of its estimated future price, and to 22% of future prices for Aluminum and Copper. The same parameter is rated as contributing to 28% of the estimated future price for Lumber (1,000 feet).
It is hereby clarified that the aforementioned information, including, inter alia, the data, analysis, conclusions and details, do not constitute professional recommendations or advice of any kind, nor is this information provided to be used or relied upon as advice or consultation concerning investments, taxes, finances, and/or legal matters.

Syracuse, N.Y. -- Tyler Cavanaugh was sitting on the couch in his Michigan condo about three weeks ago when he fielded a call from his agent.
Would Cavanaugh, the former Jamesville-DeWitt basketball star, be interested in playing for the United States as it attempts to qualify for the FIBA 2023 World Cup?
The decision required no thought at all. For Cavanaugh, playing for his national team was a “no-brainer.”
He will report on Friday to Las Vegas and USA Basketball’s training camp and then play two games for the American team as it completes its fourth window of qualifying. (We’ll explain all that later in this story.)
For Cavanaugh, who grew up watching the United States compete in the Olympics and other big international tournaments, the thought of pulling on a USA jersey seems unreal.
“That’s gonna be the coolest part,” he said. “Just wearing ‘USA’ on your chest is something that no one can ever take away from you. It’s something you dream about.”
Cavanaugh, 28, recently completed his fifth year as a professional after graduating from George Washington in 2017. After a season in the G League that included a substantial stint with the Atlanta Hawks, he played in Germany, Spain and Lithuania. He is in the second year of a two-year deal with Zagris, which plays in the Lithuanian pro league and in the highly competitive EuroLeague.
Zagris finished tied for first in the Lithuanian league last year but was upset in the semifinals of the playoffs. The results weren’t as good in EuroLeague, where the team finished last. Cavanaugh said Zagris cycled through three coaches and various basketball players during the season. Despite the tumult, Cavanaugh had probably his best statistical showing abroad.
In the 30-game EuroLeague alone (stats weren’t available for the Lithuanian league), the 6-foot-9 forward averaged 9.7 points and 5.1 rebounds in 26.4 minutes. He shot .541 overall and .378 from the 3-point line.
“Last year was a good year for me,” he said. “I got to play a lot and really got to improve. I had a lot of opportunity to make mistakes and kind of play through them. I got a lot of good minutes at the highest level in Europe. I really got to grow and that was a positive for me. This year I hope we can take another step forward as a team and hopefully I can continue to get better and we’ll see where it goes from there.”
Cavanaugh’s agent, Keith Glass, sought permission from Zagris for Cavanaugh to play in the FIBA qualifier. Zagris players will report to training camp by the end of this week, Cavanaugh said, and will play their first game on Sept. 26. EuroLeague games begin Oct. 6.
Playing with USA Basketball not only allows Cavanaugh a chance to live a childhood dream, it also puts him in position to play in front of influential basketball people.
“It’s so exciting to get to represent your country,” he said, “and obviously every time you step on the court is a great opportunity and exposure.”
The FIBA qualifying rounds work like this:
The United States is currently 5-1 in the second round of qualifying, its loss to Mexico last November the only blemish on its qualifying record. The U.S. is tied with Brazil at the top of Group F.
To qualify for the 2023 World Cup in the Philippines, the Americans need to finish in the top three in Group F (USA, Brazil, Uruguay, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Colombia) to ensure a spot.
Cavanaugh will compete for the U.S. in the fourth window of competition, which takes place from Aug. 22-30. The Americans will play 4-2 Uruguay Aug. 25 in Las Vegas. They then travel to Baranquilla, Colombia, to play 2-4 Colombia on Aug. 29. The final two windows take place in November and in February 2023, when Cavanaugh will be in Lithuania playing professionally.
The Americans will be favored in those games, a situation not lost on Cavanaugh.
“I spoke with coach Jim Boylan a couple weeks ago. He called me and I could just hear it in his tone how serious this is,” Cavanaugh said. “There’s pressure. We have to take care of our business to qualify so the team has the opportunity to win the World Cup. There is pressure, some pressure-packed basketball, and I’m really looking forward to it.”

Finance Minister Ismail had included the earnings from the sale of the LNG power stations in his $8.5 billion foreign inflow forecasts for this fiscal year in order to achieve the $35 billion gross external finance requirements.
The Pakistani government has scrapped plans to sell two LNG-fired power units to Qatar, offering 51% shares in the Roosevelt Hotel in New York and Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) instead, reported The Express Tribune.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif made these decisions during a meeting called to prepare for his journey to Qatar next week, which is provisionally scheduled for August 22 to 23, according to sources.
The meeting was also attended by Finance Minister Miftah Ismail and former Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi.
They stated that the premier has also formed a committee to finalise these recommendations by the end of this week and finish all documentation before his departure to the Gulf state next week.
According to the sources, the group examined the prospect of selling the two LNG power stations to Qatar. However, several participants believe that Islamabad may not get the best price after deducting the Rs104 billion debt owed by these power plants, which need to be repaid or transformed into long-term finance.
They stated that after removing the liabilities, the government may obtain $500 million to $600 million at best, which was politically difficult to present to the people as the best price.
The National Power Parks Management Company Limited (NPPMCL) owns 1,230 megawatts (MW) Haveli Bahadur Shah and 1,223 MW Balloki power plants. These power plants were set up with government funding instead of the 70:30 debt-to-equity ratio.
The Ministry of Finance had bought the equity of these power plants a few years ago through the Pakistan Development Fund proceeds.
According to the sources, the government’s debt of Rs103.7 billion must be replaced by bank borrowings, which will significantly decrease the ultimate price. The 70% cost of the projects must be turned into long-term finance for power plant privatisation in accordance with the tariff-based capital structure.
A senior government official meanwhile said price discovery for the LNG facilities was not immediately achievable, noting these projects may not be given to the Qatari government for investment purposes.
Finance Minister Ismail had included the earnings from the sale of the LNG power stations in his $8.5 billion foreign inflow forecasts for this fiscal year in order to achieve the $35 billion gross external finance requirements.
According to the sources, the administration also considered requesting the Qatari government to establish a $1 billion food and livestock security fund for investment in Pakistan with the goal of manufacturing items in the Asian country and exporting them to the Gulf state.
Qatar wanted to acquire land in Pakistan for agricultural purposes, but provincial restrictions made direct ownership impossible, the report claimed.
Sharif is expected to travel to Qatar in order to address LNG supply shortages brought on by escalating prices on the international market.
Sharif, who is leading Pakistan’s new government, has had to deal with a gasoline crisis that has resulted in blackouts in several areas of the nation. | https://dohanews.co/cash-strapped-pakistan-slashes-two-lng-power-plant-sales-to-qatar-reports/ | 2022-08-16T14:07:39Z | https://dohanews.co/cash-strapped-pakistan-slashes-two-lng-power-plant-sales-to-qatar-reports/ | true | 1 |

Benchmark Announces Positive Preliminary Economic Assessment for the Lawyers Gold-Silver Project with Robust +30% IRR, C$ 921m Pre-Tax NPV5% and 2.1 Year Payback
Vancouver, August 16, 2022 - Benchmark Metals Inc. (TSXV: BNCH) (OTCQX: BNCHF) (WKN: A2JM2X) (the "Company" or "Benchmark") is pleased to report the completion of a Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") on the Lawyers Gold-Silver Project (the "Project") located within a road accessible region of the prolific Golden Horseshoe area of north-central British Columbia, Canada. The PEA presents a robust open pit mining operation with attractive economics at base case gold and silver prices.
PEA Highlights:
- Robust financial metrics in a desirable location
- Pre-tax NPV5% of C$ 921M, IRR 30.5%, and 2.1-year payback
- Pre-tax Net Operating Income of C$ 2,140M
- Base case metal price parameters of US$ 1,735 per ounce of gold and US$ 21.75 per ounce of silver
- After-tax NPV5% of C$ 577M, IRR 23.5%, and 2.7-year payback
- Capital light development
- Initial capital of C$ 493M (including C$ 72.8M in contingency)
- Life of Mine capital of C$ 632M
- Strong 1.9:1 Initial Capex to Pre-tax NPV5% ratio
- Minimal pre-strip limited to TSF starter dam construction
- Long mine life with exceptional expansion opportunity
- Total resource production of 46.3 M tonnes over 12-year mine life
- Average annual production of 169k AuEq ounces
- LOM production 2.02M payable AuEq ounces
- Average AuEq Head Grade of 1.47 g/t
- Average gold recovery of 92.4%
- Low AISC (net of by-products)* of US$ 824/Au oz
*All-In Sustaining Costs (Net of By-Products) are calculated for the purpose of the Study as the sum of all operating costs (mining, processing, site administration and refining), reclamation and sustaining capital, minus the revenue from Ag, all divided by the gold ounces sold to arrive at the per ounce Au figure.
John Williamson, CEO, commented, "The PEA clearly demonstrates the low cost and robust return of the Lawyer's Gold-Silver Project even when stress tested with considerable contingency in the base case. We continue on a straightforward pathway to advancement. We continue to test new targets on the large prospective land package to add value to a project that is simple, low risk with a high-grade near surface open-pit resource, combined with proximity to existing infrastructure, making it one of the best candidates to become British Colombia's next precious metal mine."
PEA Overview
The PEA considers a conventional truck and shovel open-pit mining operation, with common equipment sizing, covering the Cliff Creek ("CC"), Dukes Ridge (included in CC), and AGB pits, feeding a 10,600 tonnes per day industry standard processing plant with two-stage crushing, grinding, whole-ore leach and a Merrill Crowe recovery circuit, with production of gold-silver doré bullion on site. The PEA is based on an update of the mineral resource estimate announced by the Company on June 11, 2022 press release. The PEA was prepared by JDS Energy and Mining Inc. ("JDS") of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Ian Harris, VP Engineering, commented, "The PEA confirmed the current project development timelines, with industry standard open-pit mining methods, processing flowsheet, design criteria, and compact footprint. Multiple target high-grade resource areas have been identified near but outside the pit limits. There is a significant opportunity to upgrade the already robust project through adding underground mining to production scheduling. These evaluations that represent a considerable upside opportunity will be incorporated into detailed mine planning of the feasibility study."
The full PEA will be filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and Benchmark's website www.benchmarkmetals.com within 45 days of the issuance of this news release.

Pre-Tax Sensitivities
After-Tax Sensitivities
PEA Recommendations and Opportunities
The PEA has been presented with surface mining only. However, there is a strong opportunity to enhance the Base Case economics with supplemental feed from underground operations. The mineralized zones are sub-vertical, which makes them amenable to preferred low-cost mining methods, such as sub-level open stoping. They are also reasonably thick, at 4 to 15 m, and thus could be mined at moderate production rates, as opposed to the low throughput one would expect from narrow-vein operations.
Underground stopes would either be accessed from multiple portals driven in the pit walls or by a dedicated ramp driven beneath the pit (see Figure 1), for potential stope shapes above a 2.0 g/t AuEq cut-off.

If proven to be economic in future stages of study, the stopes could be used either to extend operational mine life with underground operations conducted after the open pit mine has been exhausted or, more likely, mined in conjunction with open pit operations to provide higher grade supplemental feed.
An integrated surface and underground mine schedule will be evaluated in the next stage of study.
PEA Parameters and Assumptions
Assumptions
The main parameters and results of the PEA are summarized in the following table:
Operating Costs
The PEA is based on assumed life of mine operating costs by activity area, as shown in the table below.
*Numbers may not add due to rounding
Mineral Resource
The PEA is based on the resource estimate prepared by P&E Mining Consultants Inc., and APEX Geoscience Ltd., and reported by Benchmark Metals on June 11, 2022, which is summarized in the table below:
Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimates of Measured, Indicated and Inferred mineral resources assumed metal prices of US$1,750/oz Au and US$20/oz Ag, 0.78 US$:CDN$ FX, with process recoveries of 90% Au and 83% Ag. A C$14.50/t process cost and C$5/t G&A cost were used. The Au:Ag ratio was 80:1. The constraining pit optimization parameters were C$3.15/t mineralized and waste material mining cost and 50° pit slopes with a 0.30 g/t AuEq cut-off.
*The tonnage, gold equivalent ounces and grades are unchanged from the numbers reported by Benchmark Metals on June 11, 2022. The ounces and grades for gold and silver have been updated to correct errors in the original table provided in the June 11, 2022 news release.
Capital Cost
The PEA is based on a capital cost summary, in accordance with AACE Class 5 guidelines with an estimated accuracy of +/- 50%, which is shown in the table below:
*Numbers may not add due to rounding
Contingency has been applied across the various Capex areas based on the level of design detail and past experience. A summary of applied contingency by area is shown below:
Mining
The PEA assumes conventional open pit truck and shovel mining, and production designed to achieve a processing rate of 10,600 tonnes per day. The average mining rate is 68,000 tonnes per day of total material mined, with a maximum of 89,000 tonnes per day occurring in years 6 through 9.
The PEA mine design consists of four pits, with a mining sequence intended to maximize grade in the early years, smooth stripping requirements and maintain the processing facility at full production capacity. Operations would begin at the AGB deposit and transition in year two over to the Cliff's Creek and Duke's Ridge Deposits for the remainder of the mine life.
The primary owner-operated diesel mine fleet is designed to consist of 144-tonne capacity haul trucks, 22 m3 front shovels, a 17 m3 front end loader and 203 mm diameter drills. The ancillary mine fleet would consist of track dozers, graders, wheel dozers and water trucks.
Processing
The PEA assumes mineralized material would be processed using a single stage crushing circuit, a grinding circuit, a cyanide leach circuit, a counter current decantation circuit ("CCD"), and a Merrill Crowe ("MC") circuit.
The run of mine material would be fed to a primary jaw crusher, crushing to a particle size P80 of 150 mm, which will be sent by conveyor to a mill feed stockpile. The mill feed stockpile will report to a grinding circuit which includes a SAG mill, Ball mill, and a pebble crusher, grinding the mineralized material to a particle size P80 of 75 µm. The solution used in the grinding circuit will be recycled water from the MC circuit containing residual cyanide. The grinding circuit will contain a gravity circuit located in the ball mill cyclone underflow stream. The gravity circuit will consist of a centrifugal concentrator followed by an intensive cyanidation, with an electrowinning ("EW") cell to produce a gold precipitate in the refinery.
The griding circuit product will report to the leach circuit where cyanide will be added to increase the level in solution to the target concentration of 2,000 ppm, for a retention time of 32 hours. The leach circuit will discharge into a CCD circuit to separate produce a clear solution with 97% (or greater) of the gold that was dissolved in the grinding and leaching circuits.
The solution from the CCD circuit reports to the MC circuit which consists of a filter, and a Merrill Crowe tower which removes gold from solution by precipitating with zinc dust. The zinc dust will be filtered from the solution and report to the refinery. The remaining barren solution will report back to the process water tank.
The gold/zinc dust will be leached with acid to remove the zinc and then will be melted, along with the EW precipitate, into doré bars.
The PEA assumes CCD tailings would be pumped a cyanide detoxification circuit to reduce the cyanide concentration to permitted limits and then pumped to a tailings management facility.
Project Infrastructure
The PEA assumes general infrastructure for the Project would support operations on a 24 hour per day, seven day per week basis. An overall Site Layout is shown below in Figure 2:

Major infrastructure items would include:
- Site access road along the existing Finlay Forest Service Road, south of the Town of Mackenzie, which connects to the Omineca Resource Access Road ("ORAR"). The ORAR continues beyond the Kemess South Mine access road, past the Sturdee River Airstrip, through to the Lawyers site;
- Haul roads for waste and mill feed material;
- Maintenance, warehouse, administration, laboratory, security and first aid buildings;
- Plant facilities, including the crushing and grinding circuit, conveying equipment, and refinery;
- Ancillary facilities, including a truck shop, explosives storage and fuel storage;
- 230kV Power line travelling 66km from the past producing Kemess Mine;
- Camp accommodations;
- TMF, constructed with an initial capacity for two years of tailings, with staged construction in subsequent years to increase storage capacity as required; and
- Waste rock storage area, including backfill within appropriate pit areas to minimize costs and disturbance areas.
Permitting
Benchmark holds the required permits and approvals to continue exploring the areas comprising the Project.
Environmental baseline studies to support Environmental Assessment ("EA") application are well underway. The 2-year Aquatics and Terrestrial Baseline Programs commenced in 2021. Additionally, geochemical and hydrogeological studies have all commenced. The Company expects completion of all environmental baseline studies by Q3 2023.
Upon completion of all environmental baseline studies, the Company expects to commence the EA process planning and EA application preparation phase in mid-2024.
Feasibility Update
Considerable work has either already been completed or is on track to be completed for the collection of FS data inputs, including:
- Geotechnical & Hydrological field investigations for mine infrastructure design.
- Investigations for Pits and site infrastructure are complete.
- Investigations on the Tailings Storage Facility and Waste Rock Storage Facilities are ongoing (expected August 2022 completion date).
- Metallurgy and mineral processing testwork to validate processing methods.
- Comminution testwork is complete with Recovery testwork ongoing.
- Geochemistry testwork, which continues to show promising results of low acid generating potential.
- Static and kinetic testwork ongoing.
The Company anticipates all necessary inputs for the FS to be complete by Q2 2023, with delivery of the final FS report in Q4 2023.
1The results of the PEA are preliminary in nature and are based on various assumptions. These assumptions may be affected by environmental, permitting, geological, metallurgical, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, market or other relevant factors, including changes in metal prices. In addition, no decision has been made by Benchmark Metals to proceed with the mine plan described in the PEA. A decision to proceed with the mine plan would require further economic and resource study. No decision has been made by Benchmark Metals to proceed with a further economic and/or resource study. Accordingly, there is no certainty that the results of the PEA will be realized even if Benchmark Metals decides to proceed with the mine plan described in the PEA at any point in the future.
2The PEA was prepared in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 (NI 43-101). The terms "mineral resource", "measured mineral resource", "indicated mineral resource" and "inferred mineral resource" as used in the resource estimate, the PEA and this press release are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with NI 43-101. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) does not recognize these terms. "Resources" are not reserves under the SEC's regulations but are categorized under the securities laws regulations of various foreign jurisdictions (including NI 43-101), in order of increasing geological confidence into "inferred resources", "indicated resources", and "measured resources". Investors are cautioned that resources cannot be classified as mineral reserves unless and until further drilling and metallurgical work is completed, until other economic and technical feasibility factors based upon such work have been resolved and it is demonstrated that they may be legally and economically extracted and produced, and, as a result, investors should not assume that all or any part of the mineralized material in any of these categories referred to in the resource estimate, the PEA and this press release will ever be converted into mineral reserves. In addition, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute mineral reserves as in-place tonnage of mineralized material and grade without reference to unit amounts of metal.
Quality Assurance and Control
Results from samples were analyzed at ALS Global Laboratories (Geochemistry Division) in Vancouver, Canada (an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited facility). The sampling program was undertaken by Company personnel under the direction of Rob L'Heureux, P.Geol. A secure chain of custody is maintained in transporting and storing of all samples. Gold was assayed using a fire assay with atomic emission spectrometry and gravimetric finish when required (+10 g/t Au). Analysis by four acid digestion with 48 element ICP-MS analysis was conducted on all samples with silver and base metal over-limits being re-analyzed by atomic absorption or emission spectrometry. Rock chip samples from outcrop/bedrock are selective by nature and may not be representative of the mineralization hosted on the project.

Star of the popular daytime soap “Another World,” Griggs did not hide her health struggles after being diagnosed with stage 4 cervical cancer in 2020. Just this past July, the actress revealed on Facebook she contracted four new tumors.
“Hi I have an update, Unfortunately, I have 4 new tumors. 2 new tumors on my liver, one on abdominal muscle and large one on right side lymph node. So in pain and I goto chemo Monday am. I told them whatever it takes,. I’m in for the fight. I’ll be very sore, nauseous etc, but who knows, maybe it works and relieves some pain. You never know. Please keep those prayers coming,. Hugs to all!!!,” she wrote.
Two months later, she has died.
“With a heavy heart, I am saddened to announce Robyn’s passing,” the post said. “However, she is no longer suffering and would want us to remember that and the good memories,” Griggs’ official Facebook account wrote in a post about her death Saturday.
“I will never forget how open she was to telling her story and accepting of me helping her tell it. She wanted to help people and spread the word of her story to do it. I was honored to do so. RIP my friend, I love you and smile when I think of you,” the post continued.
The Pennsylvania native was largely known for her role as Maggie Cory in “Another World” but she was also known for her roles in horror movies like “Zombiegeddon,” “Severe Injuries” and “Minds of Terror.” | https://www.valleycentral.com/news/national-news/another-world-actress-robyn-griggs-dead-at-53/ | 2022-08-16T14:13:47Z | https://www.valleycentral.com/news/national-news/another-world-actress-robyn-griggs-dead-at-53/ | true | 22 |

Social media platforms have had some bad press in recent times, largely prompted by the vast extent of their data collection. Now Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, has upped the ante.
Not content with following every move you make on its apps, Meta has reportedly devised a way to also know everything you do in external websites accessed through its apps. Why is it going to such lengths? And is there a way to avoid this surveillance?
‘Injecting’ code to follow you
Meta has a custom in-app browser that operates on Facebook, Instagram and any website you might click through to from both these apps.
Now ex-Google engineer and privacy researcher Felix Krause has discovered this proprietary browser has additional program code inserted into it. Krause developed a tool that found Instagram and Facebook added up to 18 lines of code to websites visited through Meta’s in-app browsers.
This “code injection” enables user tracking and overrides tracking restrictions that browsers such as Chrome and Safari have in place. It allows Meta to collect sensitive user information, including “every button and link tapped, text selections, screenshots, as well as any form inputs, like passwords, addresses and credit card numbers”.
Krause published his findings online on August 10, including samples of the actual code.
In response, Meta has said it isn’t doing anything users didn’t consent to. A Meta spokesperson said:
We intentionally developed this code to honour people’s [Ask to track] choices on our platforms […] The code allows us to aggregate user data before using it for targeted advertising or measurement purposes.
The “code” mentioned in the case is pcm.js – a script that acts to aggregate a user’s browsing activities. Meta says the script is inserted based on whether users have given consent – and information gained is used only for advertising purposes.
So is it acting ethically? Well, the company has done due diligence by informing users of its intention to collect an expanded range of data. However, it stopped short of making clear what the full implications of doing so would be.
People might give their consent to tracking in a more general sense, but “informed” consent implies full knowledge of the possible consequences. And, in this case, users were not explicitly made aware their activities on other sites could be followed through a code injection.
Why is Meta doing this?
Data are the central commodity of Meta’s business model. There is astronomical value in the amount of data Meta can collect by injecting a tracking code into third-party websites opened through the Instagram and Facebook apps.
At the same time, Meta’s business model is being threatened – and events from the recent past can help shed light on why it’s doing this in the first place.
It boils down to the fact that Apple (which owns the Safari browser), Google (which owns Chrome) and the Firefox browser are all actively placing restrictions on Meta’s ability to collect data.
Last year, Apple’s iOS 14.5 update came alongside a requirement that all apps hosted on the Apple app store must get users’ explicit permission to track and collect their data across apps owned by other companies.
Meta has publicly said this single iPhone alert is costing its Facebook business US$10 billion each year.
Apple’s Safari browser also applies a default setting to block all third-party “cookies”. These are little chunks of tracking code that websites deposit on your computer and which tell the website’s owner about your visit to the site.
Google will also soon be phasing out third-party cookies. And Firefox recently announced “total cookie protection” to prevent so-called cross-page tracking.
In other words, Meta is being flanked by browsers introducing restrictions on extensive user data tracking. Its response was to create its own browser that circumvents these restrictions.
How can I protect myself?
On the bright side, users concerned about privacy do have some options.
The easiest way to stop Meta tracking your external activities through its in-app browser is to simply not use it; make sure you’re opening web pages in a trusted browser of choice such as Safari, Chrome or Firefox (via the screen shown below).
If you can’t find this screen option, you can manually copy and paste the web address into a trusted browser.
Another option is to access the social media platforms via a browser. So instead of using the Instagram or Facebook app, visit the sites by entering their URL into your trusted browser’s search bar. This should also solve the tracking problem.
I’m not suggesting you ditch Facebook or Instagram altogether. But we should all be aware of how our online movements and usage patterns may be carefully recorded and used in ways we’re not told about. Remember: on the internet, if the service is free, you’re probably the product.

An 88-year-old woman in South Carolina was killed by an alligator on Monday after she apparently slipped into a pond while gardening, officials said.
The body of Nancy Becker was discovered around 11:15 a.m. at the edge of the water in Sun City Hilton Head, a gated senior living community in Bluffton, by another resident, who told sheriff’s deputies the alligator appeared to be “guarding” the body.
“When we responded, that’s what we observed — that the alligator was basically holding her hostage, I guess,” Major Angela Viens, with the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office, told the station WJCL.
It took first responders two hours to retrieve Becker’s body. The reptile, a male measuring 9 feet, 8 inches long, was captured by officials with the state Department of Natural Resources and euthanized.
An autopsy on Becker will be performed later on Tuesday.
This marks the fifth alligator death in South Carolina since 2000, and the second so far this year.
On June 24, the Horry County Police Department said an alligator dragged a man into a pond. Prior to that attack, authorities said, the state had not recorded any in two years.
In May 2020, a woman was attacked and killed by an alligator in the gated community where she’d gone to do a homeowner’s nails.
A 90-year-old woman walked out of a Charleston nursing home in 2016 and was killed, while a 45-year-old woman walking her dog was fatally attacked on Hilton Head Island in August 2018.
