The groups have performed in various places since arriving such as the Colosseum, the Temple of Ercole and the medieval gardens of Ninfa.

An 18-year-old motorcyclist is dead after a collision with a pick-up truck Tuesday, and police allege the truck driver was drunk when he fled from the scene while first responders were trying to save the teen's life.
Barnstable police say they responded just before noon to 3900 Falmouth Road/Route 28 in Marstons Mills for the serious crash and found good Samaritans giving CPR to the motorcyclist.
Two Barnstable officers took over performing the life-saving measures, at which time police allege the truck driver drove away from the scene without identifying himself.
The motorcycle operator, identified as an 18-year-old from Centerville, was taken to Cape Cod Hospital where he was pronounced dead, police said. His name was not released Tuesday.
Witnesses at the crash scene helped police identify the man who drove away as 71-year-old Richard Collins, of Ipswich, Massachusetts. After police put out a BOLO to neighboring law enforcement agencies to be on the lookout for Collins and his black Chevy truck, the Mashpee Police Department was able to provide Barnstable police with a possible address where Collins was staying.
Barnstable officers went to that Osterville home several miles from the crash scene and arrested Collins, police said. He is charged with motor vehicle homicide, OUI liquor and negligent operation, leaving the scene of an accident with personal injury or death, negligent operation of a motor vehicle, and two other traffic violations.
Collins is expected to be arraigned Wednesday in Barnstable District Court. It wasn't immediately clear if he had obtained an attorney.

An 8-year-old boy who was paralyzed in the Highland Park mass shooting remains in “constant pain” as he tries to comprehend his new life, his family said.
Cooper Roberts was one of dozens of people injured when a gunman opened fire from a rooftop during the Chicago suburb’s Fourth of July parade. Seven people were killed. Robert Crimo III was charged in the massacre.
“There are layers upon layers of cruelty with being shot by a sniper. Most people don’t witness the grueling aftermath of surviving these devastating wounds, physical and emotional,” the Roberts family said Tuesday.
“Cooper is in constant pain. It is agonizing to see. He still has internal damage — wounds that are slow to heal. He is on a constant IV drip of antibiotics to ward off infection, has swelling that obscures the full internal picture, and suffers stomach pain as his body relearns to process mainly liquid food.”
Cooper’s injuries left him paralyzed from the waist down. He’s been undergoing physical therapy at a hospital and hasn’t been home for 43 days, his family said.
He still struggles to eat solid food, the family added, and can’t even stomach more than a bite or two of his favorite foods.
“He’s beginning to ask things like, ‘What will I do at recess?’ though it will be many weeks before he goes back to school,” they wrote. “It is very hard to convince Cooper that he will be happy again.”
The Roberts family has provided many updates on Cooper’s condition at a GoFundMe page.
“Every kindness makes him smile,” they said Tuesday. “We are so grateful for the gift, cards, prayers, and donations that will help carry us all through this very bleak period.” | https://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/ny-cooper-roberts-highland-park-shooting-update-20220817-6r52wa54mrggllrr7gvgrhlbri-story.html | 2022-08-17T02:59:33Z | https://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/ny-cooper-roberts-highland-park-shooting-update-20220817-6r52wa54mrggllrr7gvgrhlbri-story.html | false | 1 |

‘We just did the right thing.’ A group of high school football players rescued an injured woman trapped in her car after a wreck
By David Williams, Caroll Alvarado and Jamiel Lynch, CNN
A group of high school football players in northern Georgia jumped out of their cars while on the way to school to help free an injured woman who was trapped after a wreck.
Treyvon Adams, 16, was driving to school Friday morning with his teammates Antwion Carey, 16, Tyson Brown, 17, and Alto Moore, 16, when they saw the crash. The four are members of the Rome High School football team.
Fellow player Cesar Parker, 16, was in another vehicle with his mother, and got out to help with the rescue. Another student, Messiah Daniels, was also involved.
As soon as the teens saw the car wreck, “we just ran as fast we (could) to the lady and check on her to see if she was alright,” Adams told CNN.
They found the woman inside her car, trapped by doors that had been damaged in the crash and wouldn’t open.
“We were seeing she was in pain, she was screaming and asking us to help her,” Adams said.
A picture posted on Facebook by Rome City Schools shows smoke rising from a wrecked car as the group of players works on freeing the woman.
Luis Goya, a math teacher, told CNN he was working at the school and called 911 when he heard the crash. Meanwhile, the students were trying to free the trapped woman.
“We used all our muscles,” Adams said. “We’re pretty big people, we’re strong. We play football, so we lift weights a lot, but (the door) was just extremely bent and broke.”
Together, the teens were able to force the car’s passenger side door open, but soon realized they would need to open the driver’s side door to be able to free the woman.
It all happened in about a minute, according to Adams. “We were all moving very fast to get her out,” he added.
As his teammates helped the woman out of the car, Adams said he went to check on the driver of the other vehicle to make sure they were okay.
The group said they don’t know the woman they helped and haven’t been in touch since — but want her to know they hope she’s doing okay following the crash.
“We are very proud of them,” Goya, the teacher, said. “This is the kind of news that we need, that is more positive.”
In a post on Twitter, the school’s football team wrote, “PROUD of our MEN!” in reference to the story.
Adams said they have been “getting a lot of love from a lot of different places.”
“We’ve been recognized in a lot of different ways,” he said. “We appreciate it, but I feel we just did the right thing.”
Rome is roughly an hour northwest of Atlanta.

Bird found in area tests positive for West Nile Virus
The Grey Bruce Health Unit has received confirmation that a Cooper’s hawk, found dead in Lion’s Head and submitted for testing in late July, has tested positive for West Nile Virus (WNV).
This is the first bird to test positive for WNV in Grey-Bruce this year. As of Aug. 6, no human cases of the mosquito-borne viral disease have been reported in Ontario in 2022.
WNV circulates between birds and some species of mosquitoes, including Culex pipiens and Culex restuans. The virus can be transmitted to humans by a mosquito bite if the mosquito has first bitten an infected bird.
The risk of contracting WNV from an infected mosquito is usually highest in late summer; towards the end of the mosquito season. The best way to prevent WNV is to protect yourself from mosquito bites by:
- Using insect repellant containing DEET or Icaridin;
- Wearing light-coloured long pants and long sleeves, socks and a hat when outdoors;
- Reducing mosquito habitats near the home by eliminating standing water in flowerpots, eavestroughs, etc.; and
- Ensuring door and window screens fit securely and are free of holes.
Most people infected with WNV do not experience any symptoms. Others see symptoms two to 15 days after being bitten by an infected mosquito. Symptoms are usually mild and can include a fever and headache; however, serious symptoms can occur, including stiff neck and high fever as well as confusion, tremors and sudden sensitivity to light.
Public Health sets mosquito traps monthly in each Grey-Bruce municipality from May to September as part of its vector surveillance program. The traps are then shipped to a laboratory for species identification and viral testing on appropriate species. No mosquitoes have tested positive for WNV in Grey-Bruce so far this year.
As of Aug. 6, 2022, Public Health Ontario is reporting that 14 mosquito pools have tested positive for WNV in the province so far this year.

Abinader attacks the opposition and the public asks him for “four more years” with hubbub
Santiago, DR.
The phrase “four more years” It began to be heard loudly in the La Restauración room, the main one of the Gran Teatro del Cibao, when President Luis Abinader compared the work he has done at the Autonomous University of Santo Domingo (UASD), with the announcement of the construction of three extensions university, with the one carried out by the Dominican Liberation Party (PLD) in his years of management.
President Abinader said that in terms of higher education, his management is developing, in just two years, the largest expansion ever seen by the UASD with construction projects in Hato Mayor, La Vega, Azua, Cotuí, Santiago Rodríguez, Neyba and Bani.
“It is understandable that the opposition does not believe that we are building three extensions of the UASD with the same budgetat current prices, than what they spent only on the construction of the UASD parking lot in Santo Domingo in 2011,” said the head of state in his speech on Tuesday.
And then he added something else to his comparison: “Or that the expansion of the Metro to Los Alcarrizos costs 25% less per linear kilometer than it did 15 years ago. This is change.”
With those words, most of the public stood up and applauded him constantly, until they began to chant the phrase with the request for a presidential re-nomination. | https://d1softballnews.com/abinader-attacks-the-opposition-and-the-public-asks-him-for-four-more-years-with-hubbub/ | 2022-08-17T03:30:06Z | https://d1softballnews.com/abinader-attacks-the-opposition-and-the-public-asks-him-for-four-more-years-with-hubbub/ | false | 1 |
BERLIN (AP) — Germany’s main industry lobby group warned Tuesday that factories may have to throttle production or halt it completely because plunging water levels on the Rhine River are making it harder to transport cargo.
The Rhine’s level at Emmerich, near the Dutch border, dropped by a further four centimeters (1.6 inches) in 24 hours, hitting zero on the depth gauge.
Authorities say the shipping lane itself still has a depth of almost 200 centimeters (six feet, six inches), but the record low measurement Tuesday morning highlights the extreme lack of water caused by months of drought affecting much of Europe.
“The ongoing drought and the low water levels threaten the supply security of industry,” said Holger Loesch, deputy head of the BDI business lobby group.
Loesch said shifting cargo from river to train or transport was difficult because of limited rail capacity and a lack of drivers.
“It’s only a question of time before facilities in the chemical and steel industry have to be switched off, petroleum and construction materials won’t reach their destination, and high-capacity and heavy-goods transports can’t be carried out anymore,” he said, adding that this could lead to supply bottlenecks and short-time work might result.
Loesch warned that energy supplies could also be further strained as ships carrying coal and gasoline along the Rhine are affected.
Drivers in southern Germany already have to pay considerably more for fuel than those further north, according to Germany’s biggest motor club. The ADAC said diesel was being sold for under 1.82 euros ($1.84) per liter in Hamburg, while in the southwestern state of Baden-Wuerttemberg it cost on average 1.97 euros.
The BDI said droughts such as that seen this year could become more frequent in the future, and urged the government to help closely monitor water levels and react early to potential transportation problems on Germany’s waterways.
Experts say climate change is making extreme weather, including heatwaves and droughts, more likely.
Germany’s weather service has forecast heavy rain toward the end of the week that could provide some relief to river shipping companies.

NORTHERN URANIUM CORP. ANNOUNCES DIRECTOR CHANGES
KELOWNA, BC, Aug. 16, 2022 /CNW/ - Northern Uranium Corp. (the "Company") (TSXV: UNO) announces Vern Frolick and David Cowan have resigned as directors of the Company. The Company thanks them for their service. Aaron Triplett, Georgia Knight and Vincent Teo have been appointed as directors. Aaron and Vincent are both CPAs , Aaron with more than 15 years experience with public companies. Georgia is a corporate administrator with more than 10 years experience as an independent director. Chad Ulansky, President and CEO, Jennifer Irons, CFO and Secretary, and Jason Granger continue as directors.
Northern Uranium Corp. is a junior exploration company owning a 70% interest in the North West Manitoba Project, a uranium development project favourably located along the extension of the Mudjatik Wollaston tectonic zone which hosts most of the major uranium deposits within the Athabasca Basin, which are the highest grade uranium deposits in the world.
These deposits are of the unconformity type, situated near the boundary of the overlying basin sediments and underlying basement rocks. Though Northern Uranium's North West Manitoba project is not currently underlain by basin sediments, it is thought that the extensive glaciation has stripped these sediments away, leaving the basement rocks exposed. This would have the advantage of allowing mineralization to be found at or near surface. This theory has been borne out as grab samples of in situ mineralization at the project have run up to 9.5% U3O8 while boulders have contained in excess of 65% U3O8.
Prior to Northern Uranium's involvement it was reported approximately $8 million of exploration was conducted on the project. In the course of reaching the 70% earn-in milestone, Northern Uranium paid a total of $85,000 in cash and issued 12,000,000 common shares and 6,000,000 warrants to purchase additional Northern Uranium common shares. These warrants subsequently expired.
The Company formalized a joint venture agreement at the 70/30% level in September 2018. In addition to the $8 million spent on the project prior to its involvement, expenditures by Northern Uranium on the North West Manitoba Project are in excess of $7,600,000.
The Company also announces it has been advised Charles Fipke, a control person of the Company, has agreed to sell 50 million of the 67,999,998 shares beneficially owned by him to pursue other interests to purchasers representing they are not acting in concert.

A former Virginia police officer who testified against a friend and former supervisor he joined at the Capitol in the Jan. 6 insurrection avoided prison time on Tuesday for his role in it.
Former Rocky Mount Police Officer Jacob Fracker pleaded guilty to conspiring with his fellow officer to obstruct Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory over then-President Donald Trump and was sentenced to one year of probation, with 59 days in home confinement.
Prosecutors did not seek prison time for Fracker, pointing to his substantial cooperation and trial testimony against former Rocky Mount Police Sgt. Thomas Robertson. Fracker’s cooperation came at “great personal cost,” prosecutors said, noting that Robertson was not only Fracker’s colleague but also a father figure he sometimes referred to as “dad.”
Robertson, an Army veteran who was convicted by a jury of attacking the Capitol to obstruct Congress from certifying the Electoral College vote on Jan. 6, 2021, was sentenced last week to more than seven years behind bars. That matches the longest prison sentence so far among hundreds of Capitol riot cases.
Fracker, a Marine Corps veteran, told jurors that Robertson had invited him to Washington, D.C., to see Trump speak. The two off-duty officers traveled to Washington in the morning with a third man and donned gas masks as they approached the Capitol and joined the mob of rioters.
During his sentencing hearing in federal court in Washington, Fracker apologized for his actions.
“Yes, I was there with someone else. Yes, I was there because I trusted him based on lies, but he didn’t tell me how to act that day. I acted on my own, and for that I apologize,” Fracker told the judge.
Prosecutors said they wouldn’t have known that Robertson destroyed two cellphones containing incriminating videos and photos taken on Jan. 6 without Fracker’s cooperation. His testimony also helped prosecutors “establish Robertson’s corrupt intent” to obstruct the congressional proceeding without having to rely on Robertson’s social media postings, prosecutors wrote.
Fracker is the first Jan. 6 defendant to be sentenced for a conspiracy conviction and the first defendant to be sentenced after getting a cooperation deal with prosecutors.
Rocky Mount, a town of roughly 5,000 residents about a four-hour drive southwest of Washington, fired Robertson and Fracker after the deadly riot.
Robertson and Fracker are among roughly 850 people who have been charged with federal crimes for their conduct on Jan. 6. More than 350 of them have pleaded guilty, mostly to misdemeanor offenses, and more than 230 have been sentenced.

Asian markets fluctuate as traders weigh economic outlook
Markets drifted in Asia on Wednesday, with investors trying to navigate an uncertain economic landscape as central banks hike interest rates to fight runaway inflation, in turn fuelling fears of a possible recession.
But while officials at the Federal Reserve and its peers are expected to keep tightening monetary policy for the rest of the year, talk is building that they will be able to ease up in 2023 -- and maybe even cut rates -- if the pace of price rises comes down.
Minutes from the Fed's July meeting will be pored over when they are released later in the day, with investors hoping for some insight into policymakers' thinking and an idea of its plan for next month's gathering.
"We expect the ... minutes to have a hawkish tilt," Carol Kong, at Commonwealth Bank of Australia, said. "We would not be surprised if the minutes show (officials) considered a 100 basis points increase in July."
The bank lifted rates by 75 points in both June and July.
Forecast-beating earnings from retail titans Walmart and Home Depot provided optimism that US consumers remain resilient even as inflation remains elevated and borrowing costs are going up.
However, Asia struggled to match the positive lead from Wall Street, with concerns about China's economy dampening appetite.
The country's central bank announced a surprise interest rate cut Monday and a report Tuesday said Premier Li Keqiang called on six key provinces -- accounting for about 40 percent of the economy -- to bolster pro-growth policies.
However, analysts said markets are more concerned about the debilitating impact of lockdowns and other strict containment measures implemented as part of the government's zero-Covid strategy.
"Visibility over the evolution of China's zero-Covid policy is low and recent messaging has suggested virus containment remains a top policy priority of the country," said Adam Montanaro, investment director of global emerging markets equities at abrdn.
"Not only do investors hate uncertainty, but the negative economic impact of this policy is increasingly visible."
Hong Kong was flat and Shanghai slipped, while there were also losses in Seoul and Wellington.
Tokyo, Singapore, Taipei and Manila rose.
Equities have enjoyed several weeks of gains since hitting their June lows, and while the initial bounce was broadly seen as a bear market rally there is a hope that they may have already reached their nadir.
"It looks like a bottom, acts like a bottom, and trades like a bottom, then it probably is a bottom," said OANDA's Edward Moya in a note.
"Bear market rally calls are suddenly becoming quiet these days. The risks of the Fed sending the economy into a recession are easing as inflation is slowly coming down.
"The Fed's soft landing seems achievable and that has allowed this rally to continue."

This year’s Taste Edmonds — set to open Friday, Aug. 19 — brings back such crowd favorites as The Beatniks, One Love Bridge, The Davanos and Robbie Dee’s Tribute to Elvis. But Taste organizers are also excited to introduce some fresh bands to the lineup, including some newly formed groups that are already making a big splash in the Pacific Northwest:
Here are two of the six bands we’ll be featuring prior to opening day:
The Little Lies, a Tribute to Fleetwood Mac, is comprised of Nik Singleton, Andrew Vait (SISTERS, Little Wins), Linzy Collins (Dream Patrol), Harry Wirth III (Hit Explosion), and Andy King (Reader, Spirit Award). They play renditions of the entire cannon one would expect to hear at a Fleetwood Mac concert, inspired by the band’s distinct artistic finesse and on-stage flair and style. This dynamic supergroup of accomplished Seattle-area musicians is an act you don’t want to miss.
Hailing from Seattle, Queen Mother harnesses the Northwest’s best talent to bring Queen’s epic songs to life, including Under Pressure, We Are the Champions, Bohemian Rhapsody, and many more. With each show, they make the whole room a stage, hoping to draw out your inner “Freddie.”
And a reminder of the details:

Television correspondents have cut a courageous figure as they report from Ukraine but journalist Justin Webb warns them they mustn’t ham it up. In his younger days Webb covered the Bosnian conflict and spent a hairy night near a firefight. In the morning he did a live piece to camera in which he tried to convey the previous evening’s danger, wearing his flak jacket and ducking from imagined gunshots. Mid-broadcast, his cameraman turned white. “He showed me the tape,” Webb tells the Edinburgh International Book Festival. “Halfway through, a woman wearing an apron walks — without a care in the world — into the field behind with a basket of washing and hangs it on a line.”

MEXICO CITY (AP) — A Cuban doctor has been shot to death at a hospital in a rough neighborhood on the outskirts of Mexico City, prosecutors in the State of Mexico confirmed late Monday.
The doctor, whose name was not provided, was killed Friday along with a nurse and another woman at a hospital in the suburb of Ecatepec.
The killing comes after criticism of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s plan to hire hundreds of Cuban doctors to work where Mexican doctors aren’t available, or in areas where they don’t want to work because they are too dangerous or remote.
The Cuban doctor killed in Ecatepec apparently arrived in Mexico some time ago and was not part of the current hiring program. However, his death raised the question of whether some areas of Mexico are too dangerous for the Cuban doctors, as well.
A woman who identified herself as the victim’s sister wrote in her Facebook account that the dead man was Ernesto Oliva Legra.
Prosecutors in the State of Mexico, which borders Mexico City, said two armed men entered the hospital in the early morning hours of Friday and asked for a female patient at the reception desk.
Being unable to locate her, the gunmen then forced the receptionist too open the door to a second-floor medical area, where they opened fire, killing the nurse and another woman, and wounding the doctor.
The doctor died later of his wounds at another hospital. Local media said the other victim was a woman who had been visiting a relative undergoing treatment.
Mexican gangs have been known to enter hospitals at gunpoint to finish off wounded rivals, and Mexico has also seen a wave of violence against medical personnel.
In July, medical school graduates and residents demonstrated across the country to protest the July 15 shooting death of 24-year-old Erick David Andrade in the northern state of Durango as he was treating a patient.
He was days away from finishing the mandatory term of barely paid “social service” required of Mexican med school graduates before starting an internship or residency.
On July 11, an anesthesiologist for a rural government hospital was shot to death at her home in the neighboring state of Chihuahua.
In July 2021, a doctor was killed on a highway near Jerez, Zacatecas, after she apparently failed to stop at a drug gang’s checkpoint. That same month two paramedics were murdered while transporting a patient in the same violence-plagued northern state.
Critics have also filed injunctions against the plan to hire more than 500 specialized doctors from Cuba, over 100 of whom have already arrived and are working in the western states of Nayarit and Colima.
The injunction claims the government has not proved the doctors have the ability or training needed to practice in Mexico, and argued that most of the doctors’ pay might go to the Cuban government, not the medical professionals themselves.
On Tuesday, López Obrador defended the program, saying Mexico didn’t have enough specialists.
“It is absurd, irrational for people to question the fact that Cuban specialist doctors are coming to Mexico in solidarity with us,” the president said. | https://www.siouxlandproud.com/news/international/cuban-doctor-shot-to-death-at-mexico-hospital/ | 2022-08-17T04:01:53Z | https://www.siouxlandproud.com/news/international/cuban-doctor-shot-to-death-at-mexico-hospital/ | true | 42 |

Gateway School Board suspends band director without pay after charges
On Tuesday, the Gateway School Board determined that sufficient evidence exists to suspend the district’s band director without pay.
Last week, Gateway High School band director James Hoeltje was charged with selling or furnishing alcohol to minors.
During Tuesday’s regularly scheduled Gateway school board meeting, the board approved a notice-of-dismissal resolution.
Although the employee wasn’t named specifically, the board said sufficient evidence exists to authorize the initiation of dismissal proceedings. The first step: Suspension without pay.
“We will get to the bottom of the issue with the employee,” said board president Jack Bova.
Last Monday, a note was sent to parents in the district, informing them that an investigation of a high school employee was underway and “Due to the nature of these disturbing charges, the employee will remain on suspension and the district will proceed with termination as dictated by PA School code.”
According to the district’s website, Hoeltje became band director in 2016.
Band camp, which was set to start last week, was postponed following the charges against Hoeltje.
A parent and member of the Band Boosters tearfully told the board on Tuesday how the band season has been impacted by the allegations.
“This member managed to bring alcohol on school property, but more than the victim has been hurt in this case. The actions of this one individual, he has taken away parts of the band season that cannot be replaced,” Donna Burns, Band Booster Vice President, said. “I hope the actions of the district prevent this predator from ever again being around children.”
Board president Bova apologized to Burns for the disruption.
“We are all together in this and will do anything we can to support your efforts in getting these kids caught up,” said Bova.
According to the complaint, an 18-year-old former Gateway student described to police several incidents involving Hoeltje that began back in January.
The victim stated that Hoeltje shared his family struggles with her and would refer to her as his best friend. The complaint stated that during a trip to Virginia, Hoeltje “molested” her while they both drank alcohol.
The teen said they began texting and Snapchatting in January 2022. According to her, a majority of communication was done over Snapchat. The complaint stated text messages, Snapchats and in-person conversations would sometimes be sexual in nature, where Hoeltje would talk about his sex life with his wife. The victim also said Hoeltje would often hug her or hold her hand when they were alone in his office.
According to the complaint, the victim told police that during a band trip to Virginia Beach at the end of April, she went to Hoeltje’s room, where he provided her with
two airplane bottles of vodka and whiskey, which she drank. The victim said she became dizzy and laid on the bed where Hoeltje then climbed on top of her and tried to kiss her multiple times, before she was able to “squirm” out from under him.
The criminal complaint states that Hoeltje had provided the teen with a bottle of vodka the day before prom.
The criminal complaint also states that Hoeltje admitted to purchasing alcohol for the teen at her request. He also acknowledged he probably crossed a line and shared too much about his personal life with her.
Hoeltje is not facing any sexual misconduct-related charges.
Hoeltje has a hearing before the board later this month. He is due to be back in court for his preliminary hearing in October.

TAZEWELL, Va. – Carter Creasy is a student of football.
Just consider where the Tazewell sophomore spent part of his summer vacation.
From June 23-26, Creasy joined 1,200 high school quarterbacks and receivers from across the country at the famed Manning Passing Academy founded by former National Football League great Archie Manning.
“That was a great experience,” Creasy said. “The entire Manning family was there, along with around 50 NCAA Division I quarterbacks.”
Along with Archie, Peyton, Eli and Cooper Manning, Creasy said the VIP list at the Academy included five-star quarterback prospect Arch Manning. The nephew of Eli and Peyton, Arch created a national recruiting stir before finally committing to the University of Texas on June 23.
“There were lots of people watching and crowding around (Arch),” Creasy said. “It was an interesting time. I listened to the Mannings, worked on my footwork and learned a lot about technique.”

In addition to the Manning camp in the South Louisiana heat of Thibodaux, the 6-foot-2, 177-pound Creasy said he attended five other individual and team camps with his Tazewell Bulldog teammates.
“It was a busy summer,” Creasy said.
Creasy has a tough act to follow. Relying on a quick release and reliable receivers last season, Creasy completed 234 passes for 2,982 yards and 29 scores. That completion mark is the ninth best in Virginia High School history.
What about those pesky nerves and butterflies that haunt all freshman athletes?
“It was a tough adjustment for me at first, but things turned out well once I got into a rhythm,” Creasy said. “My linemen blocked well, and my receivers ran good routes and made catches.”
The Bulldogs must replace the combo of Bridgewater College recruit Jared Mullins and Ethan Mills, who combined to catch 93 passes. But the primary target returns in 6-2, 179-pound senior Cassius Harris, who has verbally committed to play at the University of Richmond.
The son of Tazewell head coach J’me Harris, Cassius set a VHSL record with 104 receptions last season while accumulating 1,423 yards and 11 scores.
“Having Cassius in the offense is a big help,” Creasy said. “We worked together pretty much every day this summer along with our other receivers and linemen. Hopefully, that will pay off this fall.”
Tazewell opens the season Aug. 26 with a home game against Southwest District rival Virginia High. In his varsity debut last August, Creasy passed for 300 yards in a 37-14 loss at VHS.
“Carter came in as a 15-year-old freshman and got thrown to the wolves from day one, but he did an excellent job,” Coach Harris said.
Coach Harris said that Creasy combines a passion for the game with advanced talent.
“Carter is very mature,” Harris said. “He loves to study film, has natural arm strength and can make throws that a lot of guys his age are just unable to make. He also has the benefit of playing with a pretty good receiving corps.”
Creasy received nightly lessons on the rugged nature of coalfield football from his father Frank, who was a running back and linebacker at Pocahontas High School. The historic Tazewell County school, which was closed in 2008 due to low enrollment, is part of the growing ATV tourism industry in Southwest Virginia and southern West Virginia.
“My father told me all about Pocahontas and how tough those games were,” Creasy said.
The younger Creasy began his apprenticeship at the quarterback position from his initial practice at the youth level and has been refining his skills ever since.
Creasy played basketball for Tazewell last winter and is considering a return to the baseball field. The signature quick release for Creasy also proved effective when he served as a pitcher in baseball.
“My (baseball) coaches were always telling me that I needed to get my arm back a little more, but that throwing style has always worked for me,” Creasy said. “I throw the same way in baseball and football, so it just comes sort of natural. I’ve never really worked on it.”
With just eight seniors, the Bulldogs (5-6) tied a school record with their third straight playoff berth last season. The recent media day session featured one of the largest turnouts of Tazewell players in recent memory.
“I always came to games here when I was growing up and thought about how cool it would be to be on this field on Friday nights,” Creasy said. “Now, we’ve been part of that change here. That’s something special.”
Following an intensive session of summer school football, Tazewell’s special sophomore is eager for another run.
“I’m going in with the same mentality,” Creasy said. “We’ve all prepared for this.”

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — The United States and South Korea will begin their biggest combined military training in years next week in the face of an increasingly aggressive North Korea, which has been ramping up weapons tests and threats of nuclear conflict against Seoul and Washington, the South Korean military said Tuesday.
The allies’ summertime drills, named Ulchi Freedom Shield, will take place from Aug. 22 to Sept. 1 in South Korea and include field exercises involving aircraft, warships, tanks and potentially tens of thousands of troops.
The drills underscore Washington and Seoul’s commitment to restore large-scale training after they canceled some of their regular drills and downsized others to computer simulations in recent years to create space for diplomacy with North Korea and because of COVID-19 concerns.
The U.S. Department of Defense also said the U.S., South Korean and Japanese navies took part in missile warning and ballistic missile search and tracking exercises off the coast of Hawaii from Aug. 8 to 14, which it said were aimed at furthering three-way cooperation in the face of North Korean challenges.
While the United States and South Korea describe their exercises as defensive, Ulchi Freedom Shield will almost surely draw an angry reaction from North Korea, which describes all allied training as invasion rehearsals and has used them to justify its nuclear weapons and missiles development.
China, North Korea’s main ally, expressed concern over the expansion of U.S. military exercises with its Asian allies, saying they could worsen tensions with the North. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin didn’t offer a specific answer when asked whether Beijing believes the trilateral drills in Hawaii were in some way directed at China.
“North Korea has repeatedly expressed its concern” over the joint drills, Wang said in a briefing in Beijing on Tuesday.
“The negative impact of the military exercises on the situation on the Korean Peninsula is worth paying attention to. All parties should act prudently and stop any actions that may increase tension and confrontation and damage the mutual trust,” he said.
Before being shelved or downsized, the U.S. and South Korea held major joint exercises every spring and summer in South Korea. The spring ones had been highlighted by live-fire drills involving a broad range of land, air and sea assets and usually involved around 10,000 American and 200,000 Korean troops.
Tens of thousands of allied troops participated in the summertime drills, which mainly consisted of computer simulations to hone joint decision making and planning, although South Korea’s military has emphasized the revival of large-scale field training this time.
Officials at Seoul’s Defense Ministry and its Joint Chiefs of Staff did not comment on the number of U.S. and South Korean troops that will participate in Ulchi Freedom Shield.
The drills, which will kick off along with a four-day South Korean civil defense training program led by government employees, will reportedly include exercises simulating joint attacks, front-line reinforcements of arms and fuel, and removals of weapons of mass destruction.
The allies will also train for drone attacks and other new developments in warfare shown during Russia’s war on Ukraine and practice joint military-civilian responses to attacks on seaports, airports and major industrial facilities such as semiconductor factories.
“The biggest meaning of (Ulchi Freedom Shield) is that it normalizes the South Korea-U.S. combined exercises and field training, (contributing) to the rebuilding of the South Korea-U.S. alliance and the combined defense posture,” Moon Hong-sik, a Defense Ministry spokesperson, said during a briefing.
Some experts say North Korea may use the drills as an excuse to increase tensions.
North Korea has already warned of “deadly” retaliation against South Korea over its own COVID-19 outbreak, which it dubiously claims was caused by anti-North Korean propaganda leaflets and other objects flown across the border by balloons launched by southern activists. There are concerns that the North Korean threat, issued last week by the powerful sister of leader Kim Jong Un, portends a provocation which might include a nuclear or missile test or even border skirmishes.
In an interview with Associated Press Television last month, Choe Jin, deputy director of a think tank run by North Korea’s Foreign Ministry, said the United States and South Korea would face “unprecedented” security challenges if they don’t drop their hostile military pressure campaign against North Korea, including joint military drills.
Kim Jun-rak, spokesperson of South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the South Korean and U.S. militaries are maintaining a close watch on North Korean military activities and facilities.
Animosity has increased on the Korean Peninsula since U.S.-North Korea nuclear negotiations derailed in early 2019 because of differences over a relaxation of crippling U.S.-led sanctions on North Korea in exchange for disarmament steps.
Kim Jong Un has since declared North Korea will bolster its nuclear deterrent in the face of “gangster-like” U.S. pressure and halted all cooperation with South Korea. Exploiting a division in the U.N. Security Council over Russia’s war on Ukraine, North Korea has dialed up its weapons testing to a record pace this year, conducting more than 30 ballistic launches. They included the country’s first intercontinental ballistic missiles since 2017 and tests of tactical systems designed to be armed with small battlefield nuclear weapons.
Kim has punctuated the testing binge with repeated warnings that North Korea will proactively use its nuclear weapons in conflicts with South Korea and the United States, which experts say indicate an escalation in its nuclear doctrine that could cause greater concern for its neighbors.
South Korea and U.S. officials say North Korea has been gearing up for its first nuclear test since September 2017, when it claimed to have developed a thermonuclear warhead to fit on its ICBMs. | https://kfor.com/news/international/ap-international/us-south-korea-to-begin-expanded-military-drills-next-week/ | 2022-08-17T04:19:16Z | https://kfor.com/news/international/ap-international/us-south-korea-to-begin-expanded-military-drills-next-week/ | true | 67 |

MIAMI (AP) — Nick Fortes hit two solo homers and scored the go-ahead run in the seventh inning, leading the Miami Marlins to a 4-3 win over San Diego Padres on Tuesday night.
Peyton Burdick hit a tiebreaking RBI double that scored Fortes, who had singled against Padres reliever Luis García (4-6) and advanced on a groundout before Burdick’s opposite field line drive bounced inside the foul line in right.
“I was just trying to stay inside and shoot it the other way,” Burdick said. “That’s what I was working on and it worked today.”
The Marlins ended a stretch of scoring three runs or less at 16 games, the second-longest drought in the division era. Miami also clinched its first series win at home since a three-game sweep of Colorado on June 21-23.
“I felt there were a lot of guys involved,” Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. “A lot of good things happened.”
Down 3-0, the Padres tied it on Manny Machado’s three-run double in the seventh. Miami reliever Andrew Nardi, making his major league debut, allowed singles to Ha-Seong Kim and Jurickson Profar and walked Juan Soto. Elieser Hernández (3-6) relieved Nardi, and Machado hit a one-out liner that bounced toward the warning track in left-center.
Dylan Floro followed Miami reliever Richard Bleier after Soto’s leadoff single in the ninth. Machado singled before Floro struck out Josh Bell, Jake Cronenworth and Wil Myers for his third save.
The Padres were 1 for 12 with runners in scoring position and stranded 12 runners. They are 7-8 since acquiring All-Stars Soto and Bell at the trade deadline Aug. 2. Bell went 0 for 5 Tuesday and is hitless in his last 23 at-bats.
“We’re set up for success, we just have to go out there and get it done,” Myers said.
Fortes’ solo shot in the second gave Miami an early lead. Fortes drove a sinker from Sean Manaea over the wall in left for his fifth homer.
“It doesn’t necessarily have to be a hit, just a good at-bat or a good swing, solid contact,” Fortes said. “For it to be a home run, it really sets the tone for the rest of the game.”
The Marlins increased their advantage on Jesús Aguilar’s RBI double in the third.
Fortes went deep again in the fourth when his second solo blast landed in the left-field seats.
Miami starter Edward Cabrera threw four scoreless innings, but was lifted after 91 pitches. The rookie right-hander allowed three hits, walked two, struck out seven and hit a batter.
“We made him throw pitches and got him out of there, got to the bullpen and tied the game,” Padres manager Bob Melvin said. “Just didn’t do quite enough after that.”
Manaea’s outing also lasted four innings. The left-hander gave up three runs, four hits, walked one and struck out six.
ANDERSON’S DEFENSIVE CONTRIBUTION
Although he went hitless and had three strikeouts in four at-bats, Marlins right-fielder Brian Anderson helped shut down a run-scoring opportunity for San Diego in the eighth. Myers hit a leadoff double and attempted to advance on Trent Grisham’s flyout, but Anderson threw him out at third.
“To get that throw, that was pretty cool,” Mattingly said. “You kind of really see what he does out there in right-field.”
ROSTER MOVES
The Padres reinstated INF-OF Matt Beaty from the injured list and optioned him to Triple-A El Paso.
The Marlins reinstated RHP Cole Sulser from the injured list and designated RHP Parker Bugg for assignment. They also outrighted RHP A.J. Ladwig to Double-A Pensacola after he cleared waivers.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Padres: transferred RHP Craig Stammen (right shoulder inflammation) to the 60-day injured list. ... RHP Drew Pomeranz (right flexor tendon surgery) will have a rehab outing with El Paso at an unspecified date.
Marlins: LHP Trevor Rogers (low back spasms) is scheduled for his next rehab outing with Triple-A Jacksonville at an undetermined date. ... Sixto Sánchez (right shoulder inflammation) will throw in a simulated game Wednesday.
NOTES
Social media personality and professional boxer Jake Paul threw out the ceremonial first pitch.
UP NEXT

OLYMPIA, Wash. – (AP) A judge has ordered the state agency that operates Washington’s largest psychiatric hospital to pay more than $2 million to four female health workers who were assaulted by a violent patient who repeatedly targeted women.
One of the nurses who filed the lawsuit, Bernia Garner, lost part of her ear when the patient vaulted over the nurses station, knocked her to the ground, choked her and bite off part of her earlobe.
That same patient attacked three others, causing disabling injuries.
Their lawsuit claimed hospital supervisors and the Department of Social and Health Services knew the patient repeatedly attacked women but they failed to provide a safe environment. | https://www.kxl.com/judge-orders-washington-state-to-pay-2-million-to-workers-assaulted-at-psychiatric-hospital/ | 2022-08-17T04:24:05Z | https://www.kxl.com/judge-orders-washington-state-to-pay-2-million-to-workers-assaulted-at-psychiatric-hospital/ | true | null |

Market Today, Sensex, Nifty: The frontline equity indices on the BSE and National Stock Exchange (NSE) opened marginally higher and were trading over 0.2 per cent in the early deals on Wednesday.
At 9:31 am, the S&P BSE Sensex rose 133.48 points (0.22 per cent) to 59,975.69 while the NIfty 50 was trading at 17,870.95, up 45.70 points (0.26 per cent).
On the Sensex pack, gains in the early trade were led by NTPC, HUL, Bajaj Finance, Asian Paints, UltraTech Cement, RIL, Bajaj Finserv, L&T and ITC. In contrast, TCS, Infosys, HDFC, HDFC bank, M&M and Kotak Mahindra Bank were the laggards.
“The market is likely to remain volatile in the near-term. However, strong economic rebound, normalized commodity prices, inflation within targeted range and better visibility is expected by 2HFY23,” Mitul Shah, Head of Research at Reliance Securities said in a pre-market note.

“Our FY23 target for Nifty is 19,000 at 20x FY24E EPS. FII investments have started in past few weeks and are likely to continue. While oil and commodity prices have softened over the past few weeks, supply chain bottlenecks and effects of the Russia-Ukraine war, remain the major overhangs for the Indian economy,” he added.
Global Markets (from AP)
Asian shares were mostly higher Wednesday as regional markets looked to strong economic signs out of the US and China as drivers of growth. Benchmarks rose in morning trading in Japan, China and Australia, although shares dipped slightly in South Korea. Analysts warned major risks remain, such as surging cases of COVID-19 in some countries in Asia, worries about global inflation and China’s policies to curb infections.
Japan’s benchmark Nikkei 225 added 0.8 per cent in morning trading to 29,101.33. Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 rose nearly 0.1 per cent to 7,109.50. South Korea’s Kospi lost 0.5 per cent to 2,521.84. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng added 0.5 per cent to 19,932.34, while the Shanghai Composite edged up 0.2 per cent to 3,284.14.
The S&P 500 rose 0.2 per cent, its third straight gain, adding 8.06 points to 4,305.20. The Dow gained 239.57 points, or 0.7 per cent, to 34,152.01. The Nasdaq fell 25.50 points, or 0.2 per cent, to 13,102.55.

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/2703224597847/polio-detected-in-nyc-s-sewage-suggesting-virus-circulating | 2022-08-17T04:44:41Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2703224597847/polio-detected-in-nyc-s-sewage-suggesting-virus-circulating | true | 12721 |

CHICAGO (AP) — Opening statements set for Wednesday give prosecutors and R. Kelly's attorneys their first chance to address jurors directly about charges that accuse the R&B singer of enticing of minors for sex, producing child pornography and rigging his 2008 pornography trial.
Both the prosecution and Kelly's legal team told the judge earlier in the week that they would like about an hour each to tell jurors about the kind evidence they can expect to see and hear. The evidentiary stage of the trial is expect to last about a month.
Lawyers for two Kelly co-defendants will also address jurors before the government begins calling witnesses later Wednesday. Prosecutors haven't said who they will call first.
The jury was impaneled Tuesday night with prosecutors and defense attorneys arguing toward the end of the process about whether the government was improperly attempting to keep some Blacks off the jury.
Kelly, who is Black, is accused of enticing minors for sex, of producing child pornography and of fixing his 2008 state child pornography trial at which he was acquitted.
As the sides began exercising peremptory challenges — in which they can remove a fixed number of potential jurors from the pool — Kelly attorney Jennifer Bonjean accused prosecutors of seeking to strike Blacks “to deny Mr. Kelly a jury of his peers.”
Prosecutors noted multiple African Americans had already made it onto the jury before the defense objected, and they argued their reasons for wanting to strike some had nothing to do with race. In one case, they said one older man appeared to have a hard time staying awake.
Judge Harry Leinenweber partially agreed with the defense, disallowing prosecutors from striking three Blacks from the jury, and restoring them. About half the 12 jurors impaneled were identified as Black by the judge, prosecutor and defense attorneys.
Six alternates were also selected.
Some of the jurors selected had watched at least part of a six-part documentary series, “Surviving R. Kelly,” about sex abuse allegations against the Grammy award-winning singer. Watching it wasn’t an automatic disqualification as long as a would-be juror could assure Judge Leinenweber they could still be impartial.
Among the 12 jurors selected was a retired real estate agent who had one son who was a prosecutor and another son who was a defense attorney. Another juror was a librarian.
Among those dismissed was a woman who said she had unfavorable views of police and judges and a man who said he didn't think the IRS should exist.
One central focus of the trial will be on whether Kelly threatened and paid off a girl with whom he allegedly videotaped himself having sex when he was about 30 and she was no older than 14. That's the allegation underpinning another of the charges against Kelly, conspiracy to obstruct justice.
Jurors in the 2008 child pornography trial acquitted Kelly, with some later explaining that they felt they had no choice because the girl did not testify. The woman, now in her 30s and referred to in court filings only as “Minor 1,” will be the government’s star witness in the federal trial that's expected to last four weeks.
When she testifies, prosecutors explained in court Monday that they won’t use her real name and won't refer to her as Minor 1. Instead, they will call her by a single pseudonym, “Jane.” Kelly's lawyers suggested they could contest where some of his accusers were minors at the time Kelly is accused if video recording or enticing them,
Kelly, 55, already has already been sentenced by a New York federal judge to a 30-year prison term for a 2021 conviction on charges that he used his fame to sexually abuse other young fans.
Kelly, who rose from poverty on Chicago’s South Side to become a star singer, songwriter and producer, will be around 80 before qualifying for early release based on his sentence imposed in New York, which he is appealing. .
Kelly faces four counts of enticement of minors for sex — one each for four other accusers. They, too, are expected to testify.
Two Kelly associates, Derrel McDavid and Milton Brown, are co-defendants at the Chicago trial. McDavid is accused of helping Kelly fix the 2008 trial, while Brown is charged with receiving child pornography. Like Kelly, they also have denied wrongdoing.
Minor 1 is expected to testify that she was on video having sex with Kelly. The recording was at the heart of the monthlong 2008 trial and was played for jurors almost every day. Prosecutors say Kelly threatened and sought to pay off Minor 1 and her parents so they wouldn't testify in 2008. None of them did.

Have you recently renovated or moved? If so, do you ever wonder how ‘on-trend’ your home decor is?
The decisions we make with our home decor can be purely practical, purely aesthetic, or a little bit of both. Read on to find out exactly how trendy your house is right now, according to home renovation and design platform Houzz.
2022 Home decor trends
Dedicated activity spaces
Particularly since COVID-19, it’s vital to have dedicated spaces in your home for work, play and rest. Dedicated spaces for all sorts of activities are an important part of planning your home decor — and avid home decorators agree, with increased searches for “home bar”, “media room”, “library” and “studio” being reported by Houzz.
Outdoor living
More and more residents are dreaming of a beachy lifestyle or at least home decor that exudes it, with searches for “Hamptons exterior” on Houzz up by 331 per cent. Houzz has also noticed a huge increase in interest in greenhouses, decks, and outdoor dining.
Idyllic bathrooms
Bathrooms are one of the most popular interior spaces to be redecorated or renovated. According to the latest 2022 Houzz & Home Australia report, bathroom upgrade spending from homeowners has increased from $15,000 to $17,000 year on year. Specific search terms were “bathroom mirrors”, “baths”, and “ensuite”.
Pool design
With summer creeping up on us, people have been searching for ways to cool off in style. While not necessarily thought of as home decor, pools can add a touch of sophistication to a house. Pool professionals on Houzz confirmed that interest in pool design has surged recently, with search terms like “pool house”, “swim spa” and “pool cabana” seeing a mass increase.
Preserving charm and character in home decor
Something that homeowners are increasingly looking to do with their spaces is to maintain the original charm and character of their homes. There’s been a spike in searches for “exposed brick”, “balustrade” and “industrial” which shows that designs and decor associated with period-style homes have become more sought after.
Custom home decor storage
There’s nothing better than when you can turn storage into stylish home decor, which is reflected in the uptick in people searching for custom cabinets and professional cabinetry. Houzz searches in how to create a well-functioning ‘butler’s pantry’ more than quadrupled in searches just in the first quarter of 2022 alone. Other popular search terms were “garage storage”, “built-in wardrobe”, and “mudroom”.
Native gardens
Interestingly, Houzz has seen a pretty big growth in people searching about Australian native gardens, which has increased by more than 2.3 times compared to 2021.
There you have it, the biggest home decor trends and search terms of this year so far. How on-trend is your home?

Land values are still going up - despite property asking prices across the South West falling after a frenzied period. Earlier this week, Rightmove revealed that, in August, the average asking price in the region was £389,064 - a fall of 0.6 per cent compared to July.
However, land values across the Western region are still increasing according to Savills. The property advisor described the land market as "cautiously positive as demand continues to significantly outstrip supply maintaining growth in regional land values".
Savills said that, in the second quarter of 2022, greenfield land values in the west increased by 2.2 per cent and urban land remained stable. This brings annual growth to 12.4 per cent and 6 per cent respectively, it continued, adding that greenfield land has seen the greatest gains, the highest since 2010.

Ben Taylor, from Savills development team in Bristol, said that competition for sites, limited supply, high house prices and the sustained high demand for homes all support this growth in land values. He said: "Major housebuilders are still proving to be aggressive and are actively seeking both immediate and strategic land to build up pipelines to provide them with the security of land supply.
"They remain competitive due to their ability to squeeze margins and cash rich positions as well as gaining confidence from their strong sales rates and forward sales positions. Alternative uses are also becoming more competitive in some locations.
"Build-to-rent is becoming increasingly prevalent in some of our urban markets, particularly in Bristol, which is now in the top 10 UK cities for growth, with 3,070 units completed, under construction or in planning. With viability stacking up for residential schemes, land values for uses such as student accommodation, are increasingly competing with residential land values, while high existing use values in the industrial and office sectors are impacting supply of opportunities for repurposing."
Savills development team in Bristol completed or advised on over £62 million worth of land sales during the first half of 2022. It said the sales will pave the way for 2,130 new homes and student beds in and around Bristol and Bath.
Savills research analyst Lydia McLaren said: "While we expect the shortage of stock to support house price growth in the short term, over the next five years, affordability pressures are expected to bite and lead to a slowing of house price growth in the UK.
"We think that the rate at which land values will increase over the coming years will start to slow. This is due to increasing build cost inflation and environmental requirements, the end of Help to Buy, the prospects of slower house price growth and rising inflation."

TUPELO, Miss. (AP) — The Elvis Presley Birthplace and Museum in Tupelo, Mississippi, has welcomed an increasing number of visitors as fans commemorate the 45th anniversary of Presley’s death and a new movie reawakens international interest in the singer.
Roy Turner was named executive director of the Birthplace last fall after longtime leader Dick Guyton retired.
The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reported Turner’s biggest challenge is getting visitors to return to Tupelo’s top attraction amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The Birthplace has seen more visitors this year than in the past two.
“It really picked up the first of April with steady increases, and then when the film came out it really picked up,” he said.
The Baz Luhrmann-directed “Elvis” movie has been a global hit. With international tourists typically making up 60% of Birthplace visitors, the movie about the king of rock ’n’ roll couldn’t have been released at a better time.
Fans make a pilgrimage every year to Memphis, Tennessee, to attend events during “Elvis Week,” the annual celebration of his life and career in the days surrounding his death anniversary. The highlight is a candlelight vigil at Presley’s white-columned Graceland mansion, where he died on Aug. 16, 1977.
During the vigil, devotees carry candles as they walk solemnly through the Meditation Garden, where Presley is buried alongside relatives. This year, thousands of fans attended the vigil that started Monday night and ended Tuesday morning.
The Birthplace in Tupelo is about 94 miles (151 kilometers) southeast of Graceland. Turner said it was only last November that a busload of visitors became the first international tour group at the site since January 2020.
“They’re coming from all over the world,” Turner said.
He said about 20 people from Belgium visited the Birthplace on Aug. 9, spending most of the day there. About 35 bus tours were expected in just over two weeks. Turner said those numbers are approaching pre-COVID levels.
Before the pandemic, the Birthplace saw about 60,000 visitors a year.
Turner said tourism at the Birthplace typically increases “in those five-year increments” of the anniversary of the death.
Turner said he’s happy to see more visitors, including younger ones.
“We’ve seen a lot of young people show an interest in Elvis,” he said. “Another interesting thing is that there are more African American visitors as well, because the movie told more of Elvis’ connection to the African American community.” | https://www.abc4.com/news/entertainment-news/ap-entertainment/elvis-death-anniversary-increases-tourism-at-his-birthplace/ | 2022-08-17T05:02:21Z | https://www.abc4.com/news/entertainment-news/ap-entertainment/elvis-death-anniversary-increases-tourism-at-his-birthplace/ | false | 39 |
COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — A private fundraising campaign is underway in Norway to erect a statue of a walrus that drew crowds of spectators but was euthanized Sunday after authorities concluded the massive marine mammal posed a risk to humans.
Known affectionately to fans as Freya, the walrus became a popular attraction in the Oslo Fjord in recent weeks despite warnings from officials that people should refrain from getting close and posing for pictures with the animal.
“The shooting of Freya has a strong negative signal effect that we in Norway, and especially Oslo, are not able to provide living space for wild animals,” the citizens’ group behind the online fundraising drive said in its appeal.
“By erecting a statue of the symbol Freya quickly became, we will always remind ourselves (and future generations) that we cannot or should not always kill and remove nature when it is ‘in the way,’” the appeal continues.
As of Tuesday afternoon, the group has raised 156,409 kroner ($16,143), according to the fundraising website. Organizers said if they fail with the project, the funds would go to the local chapter of World Wildlife Fund.
Walruses are a protected species, and as recently as last month, officials said they hoped Freya would leave of her own accord and that euthanasia would be a last resort. The head of Norway’s Directorate of Fisheries said Sunday that they considered moving the animal elsewhere but concluded it wasn’t a viable option.
Atlantic walruses normally live in the Arctic. It is unusual but not unheard of for them to travel into the North and Baltic Seas. Another walrus, nicknamed Wally, was seen last year on beaches and even a lifeboat dock in Wales and elsewhere.
Freya liked to clamber on top of small boats, damaging them.
The Norwegian Veterinary Institute said Tuesday that it had received the body of the 600-kilogram (1,320-pound) female walrus and would carry out a necropsy for scientific purposes. | https://www.abc4.com/news/international-news/ap-international/norway-group-wants-to-erect-statue-of-euthanized-walrus/ | 2022-08-17T05:05:25Z | https://www.abc4.com/news/international-news/ap-international/norway-group-wants-to-erect-statue-of-euthanized-walrus/ | false | 36 |
CHADDS FORD, Penn., Aug. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Red Gate Advisers LLC, today, announced the liquidation and termination of two exchange-traded funds: the DriveWealth Power Saver ETF (Ticker: EERN) and the DriveWealth Steady Saver ETF (Ticker: STBL), (each a "Fund" and collectively the "Funds"). It is expected that the Funds will be liquidated on or about August 31, 2022 (the "Liquidation Date").
The Funds are anticipated to be invested almost exclusively in cash and other liquid assets by August 23, 2022. The Funds will no longer accept orders for new creation units after the close of business on August 29, 2022, and trading in shares of the Fund will be halted on the Exchange prior to market open on August 30, 2022. Until market close on August 29, 2022, shareholders may sell their shares of the Funds on the Exchange and may incur the usual and customary brokerage commissions associated with the sale of Fund shares. During the time between market close on August 29, 2022 and the Liquidation Date, shareholders may only be able to sell their shares to certain broker-dealers, and there is no assurance that there will be a market for the Fund's shares during that time period. Customary brokerage charges may apply to such transactions.
On or about the Liquidation Date, each Fund will liquidate its assets and distribute cash pro rata to all remaining shareholders. These distributions are taxable events. Shareholders should contact their tax advisor to discuss the income tax consequences of the liquidation. In addition, these payments to shareholders will include accrued capital gains and dividends, if any. As calculated on the Liquidation Date, each Fund's net asset value will reflect the costs of closing the Fund, if any. Once the distributions are complete, each Fund will terminate. Proceeds of the liquidation will be sent to shareholders promptly after the Liquidation Date.
If Fund shareholders sell their shares or receive a liquidating distribution, it is generally considered a taxable event and they should consult their tax advisor about the potential tax consequences.

Shares of popular crypto-exchange platform Coinbase (COIN) have been under an absurd amount of selling pressure over the past year, tanking 75% from peak to trough. The negative momentum has been unforgiving to even the boldest of investors. Innovation investor Cathie Wood recently announced that she had thrown in the towel over the reported SEC probe. Undoubtedly, the SEC securities warning is more salt poured into the wounds of Coinbase's already ailing shareholders.
With Cathie Wood likely selling her stake at a considerable loss, many investors likely find themselves in a bit of a predicament. In any case, Coinbase stock has already endured far more damage than most established cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin. Indeed, the amplified volatility versus various crypto assets was a surprise to some. Few could have seen the SEC hailstorm that made headlines just over a week ago.
With the so-called crypto winter likely to take hold as the speculative appetite fades, the case for taking a bit of profit off the table after the recent relief rally is strong. Though Cathie Wood is erring on the side of caution, venturesome investors who still believe in the future of crypto infrastructure may still have plenty of reasons to hold on for dear life (HODL), as meme stock investors put it.
Indeed, the recent relief rally across the broader basket of risk assets is encouraging. Whether Bitcoin's test of US$24,000 marks the beginning of the end of crypto winter remains to be seen. Should the reversal of the crypto relief bounce sustain, it's possible that COIN stock could amplify the gains to be had in the crypto markets.
In any case, the high rewards potential accompanies equally high risks. Though the valuation seems enticing at around $91 and change per share, being singled out by the SEC introduces massive risks that are difficult to gauge.
Coinbase Stock is Difficult to Value
At 3.6 times sales, Coinbase is far cheaper than most defensive value stocks bid up over the past several months. While Coinbase may have over-earned when the crypto markets were flying high, it's tough to say how long its ensuing period of under-earning will last. The single-digit price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple has now gone negative, with just price-to-sales (P/S) to go by. For investors who've held on thinking that the name was a compelling value play, the shift to a loss has made the firm that much harder to value.
Rising interest rates, a potential crypto winter, and now SEC involvement have created the perfect storm. For now, it's hard to fault Cathie Wood for parting ways with Coinbase. While she still may be a believer in the future of crypto and the blockchain, there are other firms out there that don't have the same magnitude of SEC concerns.
Most notably, Block (SQ), formerly Square, is a crypto-flavored fintech that Cathie Wood may wish to double down on as the fintech waters continue to go out. Like Coinbase, Block's latest quarter was weighed down by the weakness in Bitcoin prices. In any case, Block doesn't depend on the health of crypto markets as Coinbase does, thanks to its robust payments businesses.
Pressure Mounts for Coinbase Stock After Ugly Second Quarter
For the second quarter, the company saw falling crypto prices weigh heavily on trading volumes. Net revenue fell more than 60% to $803 million, while Coinbase's per-share losses came in at -$4.98, much worse than the analyst consensus estimate that called for -$2.47.
Coinbase endured a brutal implosion that famed short-seller Jim Chanos saw from a mile away. Given that transaction fees account for an overwhelming majority of revenues (around 80%), Coinbase is tightly-coupled to the price of crypto assets.
Coinbase Stock Gets Lift From Meme Stock Traders
With the recent relief in Bitcoin and the broader basket, there is hope that a full-blown crypto winter can be avoided. Amid the stock market's relief rally, speculative activity saw an uptick, with various meme stocks being bid up. Indeed, Coinbase stock seems like a meme stock in its own right, given recent activity on Reddit's WallStreetBets forum.
Coinbase stock recovered a bit of ground since its partnership with BlackRock (BLK) was announced. As a part of the deal, institutional clients will have the ability to purchase Bitcoin through the platform.
Though it's hard to gauge where the wild waters of the crypto waters will move next, such news is encouraging to investors who've been dealt nothing but bad news of late.
Is COIN Stock a Buy or Sell?
Turning to Wall Street, COIN has a Moderate Buy consensus rating based on 10 Buys, 7 Holds, and 2 Sells assigned in the past three months. The average price target of $101.18 implies ~12% upside potential. (See COIN stock forecast on TipRanks)
Bottom Line
Coinbase remains a high-risk/high-reward play that's guaranteed to be an incredibly volatile time for investors. Though further strength in crypto could fuel a continuation of a rebound in Coinbase stock, investors must not underestimate the implications of ongoing SEC involvement. Indeed, the stock seems too risky for Cathie Wood, a venturesome investor who remains incredibly bullish on the future of crypto.

International
International education provides lessons for life
Michelle Norby had never traveled overseas, but after spotting an appointment flier on campus about teaching international students, she became interested.
She had always wanted to do mission work and this would be a good start for a high school math major Grand Canyon University. she asked College of Education Dean of Dr. Meredith Critchfield for a recommendation.
Critchfield is enthusiastic about GCU students learning internationally and GCUs Global Canyon Educators, which works with international partnerships to place student teachers in English-speaking Christian schools.
I taught abroad in Kenya and it changed the course of my life, Critchfield said. When you teach in another country, you take away the wonderful teaching strategies you learn in your degree program and just focus on building relationships with the kids.
Norby took the job and found himself on the road to Senegal in West Africa.
I didn’t know Senegal was a country, she said. It was scary.
But the fear quickly faded after landing in Dakar.
It wasn’t the culture shock I was expecting, she said. It’s very community driven and random people are always helping you out. There, you can count on people to help you fix a flat tire. In America, we can be very individualistic.
She also grew in her faith, leaning on God for strength, she said, as she navigated the capital and made new friends in a new country as she began teaching students at the Dakar Academy.
The experience was so meaningful to him that the May 2021 GCU graduate is returning. She was scheduled to start Aug. 17 as a full-time math teacher at Dakar Academy. And she brought along her new husband, GCU student Andrew Norby, who will teach physical education at the school while he studies online.
She really wanted to go back to Africa after she finished her student teaching, returned to the US and took a job in public schools in Texas. After one semester, she concluded that students valued education in Senegal more, trying to do their best to be able to attend college.
In America, college is given to many children. It was hard to teach in America where kids don’t want to be there, she said. I always knew I wanted to come back. I love everything about it. I like the mission aspect. I like to teach in a Christian school.
Canyon Global Educators is a growing area at GCU. The new faculty leads Dr. Shawna Martino AND Amy Schwartz work with partner organizations, such as the Network of International Christian Schools (NICS), to help place students in schools in Senegal, Peru, Bolivia, Germany, Kosovo and Thailand, among others.
Several students have had the opportunity to go abroad each semester, and each student has returned inspired and forever changed by their experience, Schwartz said. Many of these students have received job offers to teach full-time at their international schools, and all of them have felt blessed by the opportunity.
Norby convinced her fiancé to fly to Senegal to see if he would like to live there, and he loved it. It’s the kind of place where colleagues invite you to experience their village on a weekend.
So, after their wedding in June, they moved to the country in July and enjoyed a trendy apartment, a bustling city and a modern campus. It is not the Africa she expected.
The school specializes in teaching children of missionaries and other international students.
Families that have to go out and serve in the jungle, we give their kids a good American education, said Norby, who will teach five math classes.
She recommends teaching international students if nothing else but to learn about the world and other cultures.
Critchfield says it can add relationship-building skills. A teacher can learn to communicate in new languages or in other ways.
What is so special about teaching abroad is that it requires the teacher to develop the layers and understand the core of why we teach and that is to make a difference in a child’s life.
Grand Canyon University senior staff writer Mike Kilen can be reached at [email protected] or at 602-639-6764.

Cheetah arrival misses Aug 15 deadline
New Delhi, Aug 17: India's ambitious project to translocate African cheetahs has missed an unofficial deadline of August 15, but the animals are likely to arrive within this year.
The government had planned to bring the Cheetah before August 15, to commemorate 75 years of Independence, but administrative delays, as well as the presence of leopards near the soft release enclosure in Madhya Pradesh's Kuno-Palpur National Park (KNP) meant for cheetahs are believed to be the reason behind the delay in Cheetah reintroduction plan.
The exact dates of the arrival of cheetahs from Namibia and South Africa in Madhya Pradesh are not confirmed. However, the animals are expected to arrive within this year and it would still be among the fastest such translocations anywhere in the world.
Funny animal attack: Check out what a deer did when a cheetah tried to attack it
Ahead of their maiden journey to MP's Kuno Park, the Cheetah underwent a health examination conducted by a team of international experts of the Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF) in Namibia.
Six leopards had entered the enclosure, spread over 5 square km, meant for cheetahs during an acclimatization phase at the KNP. While two of them were chased away, efforts to drive out the rest four over several days are in vain, the officials admitted.
Cheetahs became extinct in India in 1952. The 'African Cheetah Introduction Project in India' has been underway since 2009, before picking up speed in the last few years.
The cheetah is returning to India: How the govt plans to bring them back
While India has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Namibian government for the import of cheetahs, it is also in the process of inking agreements with private game reserves in South Africa and the government for more big cats. | https://www.oneindia.com/india/cheetah-arrival-misses-aug-15-deadline-3449094.html | 2022-08-17T05:18:06Z | https://www.oneindia.com/india/cheetah-arrival-misses-aug-15-deadline-3449094.html | true | 2 |

The dust has mostly settled from free agency, so we have a pretty good idea of what teams are going to look like heading into this fall. As usual, it was a busy stretch with many big names landing in new places. Let's take a look at some of the biggest moves and how they could impact your fantasy drafts.
Johnny Gaudreau The Blue Jackets made the biggest splash in free agency, as they ended up reeling in Johnny Gaudreau. Coming off of a massive 40-goal, 115-point season, Gaudreau gives the Blue Jackets some instant credibility as they look to contend in a tough Metropolitan Division. The 29-year-old's seven-year deal cements him as a top-six fixture, and he'll likely work on the top line with Patrik Laine, who later signed a four-year deal. That duo should complement each other well – Gaudreau's a crafty playmaker, while Laine has an elite shot. The concern is a lack of a proven No. 1 center for Columbus, though youngsters like Cole Sillinger and Kent Johnson should get a chance between the star wingers, while Boone Jenner is a reliable, hard-working veteran who could see a boost.
Matthew Tkachuk, MacKenzie Weegar The Flames' rough start to free agency continued when Matthew Tkachuk informed the team he wouldn't sign long-term. Backed into a corner, general manager Brad Treliving pulled off a blockbuster trade, sending Tkachuk to the Panthers for Jonathan Huberdeau and MacKenzie Weegar. Tkachuk's well-rounded game will play anywhere, and he'll likely settle into a top-line role alongside Aleksander Barkov for the bulk of the next decade. In turn, Huberdeau is a like-for-like replacement for Gaudreau alongside Elias Lindholm on the Flames' top line, while Weegar's effective play in all zones should put him in the top four with a chance at power-play time. While not a true open-market move, this landscape-altering trade has the potential to be a win-win.
Claude Giroux is the biggest name to pull off a homecoming, as the Hearst, Ontario native signed with the Senators on a three-year deal. He's maintained solid offense into his 30s, picking up 21 goals and 44 assists in 75 games between the Flyers and Panthers last year. The Senators also added Alex DeBrincat in a draft-day deal – combined with cornerstones like Brady Tkachuk, Josh Norris and Tim Stutzle, this top six could be sneaky good. Giroux should still challenge for 60 points while providing key veteran leadership to a young team.
Ondrej Palat The Lightning took care of some business as they signed Anthony Cirelli, Mikhail Sergachev and Erik Cernak to eight-year deals on the first day of free agency. That meant Ondrej Palat would walk, and he didn't take long to find a new home in New Jersey. Like Giroux in Ottawa, Palat has a chance to provide a veteran resume to a young Devils team. Best-case scenario, he clicks with Jack Hughes and leads the Devils to a breakout. Even if that doesn't come to fruition, Palat should still offer roughly 50 points, power-play production and solid physical play in a second-line role at worst.
John Klingberg The defense market moved slower, as top blueliner John Klingberg inked a one-year deal with the Ducks in late July. More of an offensive source than a shutdown defender, Klingberg's arrival in Anaheim likely bumps one of Cam Fowler or Kevin Shattenkirk from power-play duties. Jamie Drysdale will be in that mix as well, but with the Ducks' rebuild relying on growth from within, Klingberg could be an anchor in terms of plus-minus rating. His one year deal indicates he could be on the move again at the trade deadline, but he'll likely be stuck with a weaker team situation for three-quarters of the campaign.
Darcy Kuemper For the second year in a row, the Avalanche saw their starting goalie leave in free agency. This time, it was Darcy Kuemper bolting to Washington to be the Capitals' new starter after they parted ways with both Ilya Samsonov and Vitek Vanecek. Leaving the Avalanche's smothering defense could see Kuemper regress a bit from the 2.54 GAA and .921 save percentage he posted last year in a career-high 57 games. Health will be the key here – next up on the depth chart is career AHLer Charlie Lindgren, so Kuemper is probably looking at a workhorse role.
Ilya Samsonov The aforementioned Samsonov found a landing spot in Toronto, signing a one-year deal with a chance to be the Maple Leafs' No. 1 in goal. He's coming off a career-worst 3.02 GAA and an .896 save percentage, so he'll have plenty to prove in a pressure cooker of a market. Samsonov will be high-risk, high-reward choice for fantasy managers willing to take a gamble for a third netminder, especially with the oft-injured Matt Murray in contention for starting duties.
Jack Campbell With the Maple Leafs moving on, Jack Campbell signed a five-year deal with the Oilers to be their answer in goal. He'll get a downgrade on the defense in front of him, but the Oilers will hope he plays like he did last fall (1.94 GAA, .937 save percentage in his first 23 games) rather than how he closed out the year (3.27 GAA, .893 save percentage in his last 26 games). The Oilers' offense can outscore mediocrity, but Campbell playing well could cash in a lot of wins for fantasy managers.
Vincent Trocheck The Rangers found themselves an upgrade for second-line center, inking Vincent Trocheck to a seven-year deal. The 29-year-old has shown flashes of potential in the past, exceeding 50 points in three of his nine seasons and topping the 70-point mark once. If the Rangers keep Chris Kreider and Mika Zibanejad together, Trocheck figures to be the trigger man for Artemi Panarin – that's an upgrade over the consistent, but unremarkable linemates Trocheck had in Carolina.
Ryan Strome That job opened up for Trocheck because the Rangers allowed Ryan Strome to walk in free agency, and he signed for five years with the Ducks. The Ducks needed another top-six center following Ryan Getzlaf's retirement, and Strome fits the bill, albeit with a more scoring-focused skill set. He's good enough to take pressure off Trevor Zegras, but it could be difficult for Strome to put together his third 50-point campaign in four years on a rebuilding team.
Dylan Strome Ryan wasn't the only Strome brother to find a new home this summer, as younger brother Dylan linked up with the Capitals. Dylan's deal is a one-year pact, though he should step into a second-line role since Nicklas Backstrom (hip) is expected to miss most of the upcoming season. Strome put up 48 points in 69 contests with the Blackhawks last year and will be surrounded with solid supporting talent in Connor Brown, Anthony Mantha and T.J. Oshie as his most likely wingers.
Andrew Copp Coming off of a career-best 21-goal, 53-point season split between the Jets and Rangers, Andrew Copp got a five-year deal from the Red Wings. The 28-year-old's value will always be higher on the ice, but he's shown improved scoring ability over the last two years. The Wings also signed David Perron, who should work alongside Copp in a second-line role, and Dominik Kubalik, who will be looking to bounce back from a 32-point effort with the Blackhawks last year. Detroit's moves give them better middle-six depth behind an emerging core.
Andre Burakovsky cashed in on his 22-goal, 61-point campaign by signing with the Kraken for four years. The Colorado-to-Seattle pipeline hasn't yielded much fruit yet with Philipp Grubauer and Joonas Donskoi's struggles last year, but Burakovsky has a better resume than his old/new teammates. He should get a look in the top six, and that means he'll probably be alongside one of Matty Beniers or Shane Wright as the Kraken look for a much better second season.
Patrice Bergeron/David Krejci The Bruins got the band back together, handing out one-year deals to Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci. Both should be top-six fixtures as Boston looks to go on one more run, but how much the two centers in their mid-30s can contribute remains to be seen, especially with injuries impacting the supporting cast.
There's still a few dominoes to fall, as Nazem Kadri, Phil Kessel and P.K. Subban headline the remaining available free agents. | https://www.rotowire.com/hockey/article/2022-23-free-agency-recap-65219 | 2022-08-17T05:19:43Z | https://www.rotowire.com/hockey/article/2022-23-free-agency-recap-65219 | true | 2 |
Trichur: The parents of a teenage girl gang-raped at her home at Punnayurkulam in Thrissur district are likely to booked on charges of facilitating the crime.
The police probe revealed that the parents tried to hush up the crime.
The girl, a Plus-Two student, was allegedly gang-raped by the clients of her father who is reportedly a drug-peddler. The incident happened two months ago when she was alone at home.
She told her parents about the crime, but they were reluctant to report to the police.
Local reports say the duo is into drug pushing and were earlier arrested for selling marijuana.
The three accused in the crime used to arrive at the home to buy marijuana. The trio were close to the girl's dad.
As reported earlier the crime came to light the other day after the girl informed her teacher a few days ago at a counselling session at the school and the latter alerted the police. | https://www.onmanorama.com/news/kerala/2022/08/17/thrissur-gang-rape-teen-parents-booked.html | 2022-08-17T05:24:07Z | https://www.onmanorama.com/news/kerala/2022/08/17/thrissur-gang-rape-teen-parents-booked.html | false | null |

As a follow-up to the clarification that he is not buying Manchester United, Elon Musk has also joked about putting cocaine in Coca-Cola.
Tesla Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk has created another storm on Twitter. On Wednesday morning he put out a tweet saying that he was going to buy football club Manchester United but has now put out a statement on the social media platform saying that this was a joke and he is not buying any sports team.
No, this is a long-running joke on Twitter. I’m not buying any sports teams.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) August 17, 2022
The news of Musk being interested in buying the popular English football club was taken sceptically by fans and people who follow the maverick businessman on Twitter.
As a follow-up to the clarification, Musk has also joked about putting cocaine in Coca-Cola.
"And I’m not buying Coca-Cola to put the cocaine back in, despite the extreme popularity of such a move," he replied to his tweet.
Manchester United, controlled by the American Glazer family, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The football club had a market capitalization of $2.08 billion, as of Tuesday's close.
Manchester United fans have in recent years protested against the Glazers, who bought the club for 790 million pounds ($955.51 million) in 2005, due to the team's struggles on the pitch.
The anti-Glazer movement gained momentum last year after United were involved in a failed attempt to form a breakaway European Super League.

Milklab maker Noumi sued after Europe deal sours
By Jessica Yun
Milklab manufacturer Noumi is a step closer to closing the chapter on a long-running legal dispute with a former US supplier but faces a fresh lawsuit from French tea and coffee company Sunday Collab International over an alleged agreement to distribute Milklab in Europe.
At an extraordinary general meeting on Wednesday morning, the overwhelming majority of Noumi’s shareholders approved for the company to sell its 9.4 per cent stake in Australian Fresh Milk Holdings (AFMH) for $1.45 per share, or $29.6 million to pay off the remaining sum owed to US almond grower Blue Diamond.
“Approximately $25 million of the proceeds from the sale will be allocated towards Noumi’s obligations under the settlement agreement ... with the balance of $4.65 million to be used for general purposes including expenses related to the transaction,” said Noumi chair Genevieve Gregor.
Noumi’s shares have sunk by more than 7 per cent at mid-morning trading on Wednesday.
The dispute with Blue Diamond began in January 2020 over unpaid invoices. It escalated in September that year when Blue Diamond sued for fraud and breaching their licensing agreement by manufacturing nut-based beverages including Milklab and another brand, Australia’s Own.
Noumi (then known as Freedom Foods) responded by filing its own proceedings against Blue Diamond, arguing it hadn’t breached their licensing agreement, that Blue Diamond engaged in misleading and deceptive conduct, and was not acting in good faith.
The matter was eventually settled in January 2022 through US arbitration, after the Full Federal Court blocked Noumi’s attempt to have the matter thrown out of court.
Starting from September 1, 2022, Noumi will pay the $US18 million ($25.7 million) owed in quarterly instalments of $US1.125 million across four years.
While the Blue Diamond dispute comes to a close, Noumi still faces two class actions (which have been merged into one proceeding). A countersuit from former auditor Deloitte, and new legal proceedings from Sunday Collab International, which only came to light late last week.
In a statement to The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, French tea and coffee company Sunday Collab said its dispute with Noumi began in mid-2020 after it tried to enforce an agreement the pair had allegedly struck for the former to distribute Milklab throughout Europe.
Sunday Collab is seeking €17 million ($24.7 million) in compensation for costs incurred in launching the partnership throughout Europe in 2019, the company said, which it says Noumi participated in by delivering its Milklab range as well as marketing and packaging materials for product launches in Milan, Italy in October 2019 and the London Coffee Festival in early 2020.
“Unfortunately, following a management and board spill in August 2020, Noumi has repeatedly denied there is an agreement or any partnership in place, nor any obligation owed by Noumi,” Sunday Collab said in its statement.
Noumi also “refused to communicate” with Sunday Collab, the company alleges.
“Given this stance, coupled with the time and money we had already invested, there was little option but to bring the matter before the courts, which we did in March 2021.”
Noumi has said Sunday Collab’s claims are “without merit” and claims for lost profit are “wholly unsupportable”, and will defend the action.
Australian surfer Joel Parkinson was part of Sunday Collab’s negotiating team that pitched Milklab’s expansion to Europe.
“That this matter has ended up in court is extremely disappointing,” Parkinson said.
“Sunday Collab International has gone to court to recover the losses we have suffered as a result of Noumi’s conduct in walking away from the agreement and then refusing to communicate with us.”

Salman Rushdie On A Ventilator, “Will Likely Lose One Eye” After Being Stabbed While Onstage In N.Y. – Update
UPDATED with latest : The Satanic Verses author Salman Rushdie is on a ventilator after suffering grave injuries at the hand of an assailant who stabbed him multiple times onstage at a literary event Friday morning. Booker Prize-winning novelist spent hours in surgery after the attack, according to the New York Times .
“The news is not good,” Rushdie’s agent, Andrew Wylie said in an email to the Times this evening. “Salman will likely lose one eye; the nerves in his arm were severed; and his liver was stabbed and damaged.”
PREVIOUSLY at 8:24 a.m. : The Satanic Verses author Salman Rushdie was stabbed in the neck while onstage today in Chautauqua, NY, New York police have confirmed. The attacker is in police custody.
Rushdie was flown by helicopter to a local hospital, according to the police statement, which also said the person who interviewing Rushdie at the Chautauqua Institution in Western New York suffered a minor head injury.
An endocrinologist who was in the audience and offered assistance told the New York Times that Rushdie had multiple stab wounds and there was a pool of blood under his body. She said people were saying “he has a pulse, he has a pulse.”
At about 11 a.m. ET, the Associated Press said its reporter witnessed a man storm the stage and begin punching or stabbing 75-year-old Rushdie before the attacker was restrained.
Rushdie’s condition was uncertain as people attempt to gather more information. Images on AP show him surrounded by others who rushed onstage immediately after he was attacked. AP said Rushdie quickly was surrounded by a small group of people who held up his legs, presumably to send more blood to his chest.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said: “I want to commend the state police. It was a state police officer who stood up and protected him.”
Rushdie has both British and American citizenship and the Chautauqua Institution lecture was supposed to be the first in a seven-part series hosted by the non-profit organization.
Rushdie’s controversial book The Satanic Verses has been banned in Iran since 1988, as many Muslims consider it to be blasphemous, and since the late 1980s there has been a fatwa calling for Rushdie’s death that still exists today, ordered by Ayatollah Khomeini. In 1989, a failed assassination attempt on him in London ended with a bomb exploding prematurely.
Iran’s bounty against Rushdie was raised to $3.3M in 2012, though he previously has dismissed concerns.
The India-born Booker Prize-winning novelist has written a number of books both before and after The Satanic Verses, and he co-wrote the screenplay for the film version of Midnight’s Children with Deepa Mehta, with a Netflix TV series of the same project also in the works. Rushdie also appeared as himself in the likes of Curb Your Enthusiasm and Bridget Jones’s Diary. His other works include 1975’s Grimus, 1983’s hame and 1999’s The Ground Beneath Her Feet.
Rushdie was made an MBE a few weeks ago in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List.
A statement from the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression said the attack is a “horrible reminder that when people stop settling their disagreements with words, they too often try to do so with weapons.”
“Mr. Rushdie has long understood free speech’s necessity. He is among its strongest advocates,” it added.

On 11 August, the New York Jets signed five-time Pro Bowl offensive tackle Duane Brown to a two-year $22 million dollar contract. This comes shortly after it was announced that offensive lineman and former 2020 first-round pick Mekhi Becton will miss the season with a serious knee injury.
Becton is now up to 400 pounds compared to weighing 363 pounds at the time of his injury. Even though Becton does not think it is an issue, the team is worried as head coach Robert Salah avoided answering questions about Becton’s weight.
Even though this may be a huge blow for him and the Jets it’s not as if the team was headed for the Super Bowl before the injury. However, the Becton injury is a blow to second-year quarterback Zach Wilson and rookie running back Breece Hall. Wilson did not have the best rookie season as he had a 55.6 completion percentage, 2,334 passing yards, 9 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. The Jets knew they had to give Wilson more weapons and offensive line help to protect him, signing tight end C.J. Uzomah and left guard Laken Tomlinson. They also drafted Hall, wide receiver Garrett Wilson, and tight end Jeremy Ruckert.
It is crucial for the Jets’ rebuild to continue in the right direction by Wilson and Hall being impactful players and can be great players. For them to realize their potential, they need a solid offensive line in front of them. Becton should be a great player when healthy but unfortunately he is not. However, the Jets found a more than serviceable replacement in Brown.
It is unclear whether Brown will start at left or right tackle but he will still make an impact in both the pass game and the run game. This past season was Brown’s worst statistical season since his rookie year with a Pro Football Focus grade of 71.5%. However, that still made him an above average starter as he ranked 30th out of 66 qualified tackles. In pass protection, Brown allowed just 33 pressures over 585 pass-blocking snaps. That is a significant upgrade over Jets offensive tackle last year in Morgan Moses. In 2021, Moses ranked 53rd out of 66 qualifiers. Brown is also a solid run blocker as he ranked 34th out of 66 qualifiers with a run-blocking grade of 69.6 at PFF.
Even with the loss of Becton, Brown can slide right in at a starting tackle position to not only remain competitive, but help Zach Wilson improve in his sophomore season as well as rookie running back Hall. Also, Brown got a two-year contract so the Jets will be set with two solid offensive tackles. Brown is a more than serviceable replacement for Becton and Wilson should still see an improved season.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Zach Wilson and the New York Jets received some good news after a few days of worrying about the quarterback’s right knee.
Wilson had arthroscopic surgery Tuesday to repair a torn meniscus and remains on track to return in a few weeks, a person with knowledge told The Associated Press.
Wilson, who also has a bone bruise in the knee, flew to Los Angeles to have the procedure performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache. Wilson’s meniscus was trimmed and ElAttrache found no additional damage than initially believed, said the person who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the team didn’t announce results of the surgery.
That timeline means the Jets could still potentially have their starting quarterback for Week 1. However, the team will likely be cautious with Wilson before getting him back on the field.
ESPN first reported that no additional damage was found during Wilson’s surgery.
Wilson was initially expected to miss two to four weeks with a bone bruise and meniscus tear in his right knee, and the team was optimistic that would remain the case.
But the timeline for how long the second-year quarterback could be sidelined would be determined by the surgery on the meniscus and whether it needed to be trimmed or fully repaired.
It was initially feared that Wilson suffered a serious — and potentially season-ending — knee injury during the second offensive series of New York’s 24-21 preseason-opening win at Philadelphia last Friday night. Tests after the game indicated the ACL in the knee was intact, and an MRI on Saturday morning revealed the bone bruise and torn meniscus.
Joe Flacco could still start the regular-season opener against Baltimore — his former team — on Sept. 11 if Wilson isn’t ready.
Coach Robert Saleh acknowledged Sunday that Wilson being sidelined a few weeks is a setback in his development, particularly since the Jets have joint practices coming up with the Falcons and Giants.
“It’s a setback in that he’s missing an unbelievable opportunity to get these reps in and to play other defenses, especially the Giants who have such an elaborate pressure package system, a pressure system,” Saleh said. “But he’s got to stay dialed in just like he was last year when he was hurt, learn from his teammates and try to be involved as much mentally as he can possibly be.
“The timing of it all is terrible and it sucks, but I think Zach can still have an opportunity to grow from it if he attacks it mentally.”

Bats come alive as Mariners cruise by Angels
Ty France had a two-run single, Adam Frazier contributed a two-run triple and Julio Rodriguez smacked a two-run homer to help the Seattle Mariners notch an 8-2 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday night at Anaheim, Calif.
Robbie Ray struck out 10 in six innings as the Mariners won for the fifth time in their past seven games. Jesse Winker's sixth-inning sacrifice fly capped a three-run uprising to put Seattle ahead for good and the club tacked on five runs in the ninth inning.
Shohei Ohtani had three hits and Luis Rengifo homered and drove in both Los Angeles runs. The Angels have dropped the first two contests of the three-game set.
Ray (9-8) gave up two runs and six hits to end a four-start winless stretch.
Rodriguez had three of Seattle's nine hits. Frazier and Sam Haggerty added two hits apiece.
Angels starter Jose Suarez (4-5) allowed three runs and four hits over 5 1/3 innings. He struck out five and walked none.
Suarez retired the first 16 batters he faced before Frazier reached on a clean infield single in the sixth. The left-handed-hitting Frazier slapped a grounder that Angels shortstop David Fletcher gloved in the hole but his throw had no chance to retire Frazier.
Suarez wouldn't retire another batter. Haggerty and Rodriguez followed with singles to load the bases and France ended Suarez's night with a two-run base hit to right to tie the score at 2.
Winker greeted Jimmy Herget with the sacrifice fly to right to score Rodriguez as Seattle took a 3-2 lead.
Frazier ripped his two-run triple with two outs in the ninth and scored on Haggerty's infield single to make it 6-2. Rodriguez followed with an opposite-field shot to right off Jesse Chavez. It was the rookie's 19th of the season.
Rengifo got the Angels on the board with two outs in the bottom of the first when he hit his ninth homer of the season.
Los Angeles strung together three straight one-out singles in the third to make it 2-0. Fletcher and Ohtani started the stretch and Rengifo finished it with a run-scoring hit to left.

Law has taken effect in Scotland to ensure period products are available free of charge to anyone who needs them.
The Scottish government said it became the first in the world to legally protect the right to access free period products when its Period Products Act came into force Monday.
Under the new law, schools, colleges and universities as well as local government bodies must make a range of period products such as tampons and sanitary pads available for free in their bathrooms. The Scottish government already invested millions of pounds since 2017 to fund free period products in educational institutions, but the law makes it a legal requirement.
A mobile phone app also helps people find the nearest place — such as the local library or community centre — where they can pick up period products.

Advertise with NZME."Providing access to free period products is fundamental to equality and dignity, and removes the financial barriers to accessing them," Scottish Social Justice Secretary Shona Robison said.
"This is more important than ever at a time when people are making difficult choices due to the cost of living crisis and we never want anyone to be in a position where they cannot access period products," she added.
The bill, which was passed unanimously in 2020, was introduced by Scottish Parliament lawmaker Monica Lennon, who had campaigned against "period poverty" — when someone who needs sanitary products can't afford them.
"Proud of what we have achieved in Scotland," Lennon tweeted Monday. "We are the first but won't be the last."
The Scottish government said its move was world-leading, with countries including South Korea and New Zealand taking similar approaches.
Last year New Zealand's government said all schools in the country were to offer free period products, as part of a drive to help students from poorer families who were missing school because of period poverty. | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/new-scottish-law-makes-period-products-free-for-all/T66P6SDQ5ATYM27U26R4PLNVAU/?c_id=2&objectid=12545698&ref=rss | 2022-08-17T05:54:07Z | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/new-scottish-law-makes-period-products-free-for-all/T66P6SDQ5ATYM27U26R4PLNVAU/?c_id=2&objectid=12545698&ref=rss | true | 54 |

BEIJING (BLOOMBERG) - The seaside city of Beihai is emerging from a month-long lockdown that derailed its peak tourism season, a likely indicator of what's in store for China's travel sector as other summer vacation hotspots struggle to get outbreaks under control.
The city in the southern region of Guangxi lifted restrictions on Tuesday (Aug 16) as cases ebbed. Authorities had imposed the lockdown of most of Beihai without warning in mid-July, stranding 20,000 tourists and sparking a surge of travel cancellations.
The turmoil was repeated less than a month later in the tropical island of Hainan that's emerged as China's biggest source of infections. More than 150,000 tourists were stranded by a lockdown and a dearth of flights, with some stuck in their hotels for more than a week except to buy necessities and undertake the copious number of tests required.
More than 92,000 travellers have been impacted by restrictions in Xinjiang, according to state media, while curbs in Tibet have also thrown holidaymakers' plans into disarray.
The disruptions deal a blow to what had been a bright spot for an economy ailing under the strictures of Covid-zero. The domestic tourism industry had been booming as overseas travel remains difficult, but the current outbreaks and lockdowns mean China's top destinations are losing peak vacation spending at a time when consumer sentiment is already weaker-than-expected.
The hit to sentiment may pressure consumption, according to Bloomberg Intelligence Chief Asia Economist Chang Shu, who pointed to an outbreak in Nanjing last summer that was associated with a notable deceleration in retail sales. The Hainan flareup could make people more cautious in their daily lives and cut back on non-essential activity, damping spending, she wrote.
China reported 2,888 cases for Tuesday, up from 2,368 on Monday. The majority of infections were from Hainan, which had 1,663, while Tibet had 686 new infections.
Officials in Hainan said in a briefing on Tuesday that while case numbers remain high, the proportion of those found outside of the quarantine system has been dropping. Zero community transmission is typically a key benchmark for when Covid-19 curbs begin to be lifted. | https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia/seaside-lockdown-shows-covid-zeros-lasting-hit-to-china | 2022-08-17T05:58:44Z | https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia/seaside-lockdown-shows-covid-zeros-lasting-hit-to-china | true | 2 |
SYDNEY — Scott Morrison said Wednesday that giving himself extra powers when he was Australia's prime minister was necessary during the coronavirus crisis, as criticism rose the moves were deceptive and undemocratic.
Current Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is seeking an opinion from the solicitor-general on the legality of some of Morrison's moves.
Many of Morrison's own colleagues were blindsided by his decision to secretly appoint himself to five ministerial roles, which have only been revealed in recent days. Some have called for him to resign from Parliament, where he is now an opposition lawmaker after losing the general election to Albanese earlier this year.
But Morrison told reporters in Sydney that while he apologized for causing offense to his colleagues, he stood by his actions.
The expectation early in the COVID-19 crisis was that as prime minister, he was responsible for everything — "every drop of rain, every strain of the virus, everything that occurred over that period of time," Morrison said. "I believed it was necessary to have authority, to have what were effectively emergency powers, to exercise in extreme situations that would be unforeseen, that would enable me to act in the national interests."
He said he'd rather be criticized for overstepping the mark than for not taking action. Asked why he didn't let his own Cabinet colleagues know about the appointments, let alone the broader public, Morrison said his moves could have been misunderstood.
"I was concerned that these issues could have been misconstrued and misunderstood, and undermined the confidence of ministers in the performance of their duties at that time, and I did not consider that to be in the country's interest," Morrison said.
Albanese on Tuesday revealed that between March 2020 and May 2021, Morrison was appointed minister of health, finance, home affairs, treasury and industry — moves which appeared to have given him equal powers to the ministers already appointed to those positions. News Corp. media had revealed some of the appointments over the weekend.
"How about an apology to the Australian people?" Albanese said after Morrison spoke. "The Australian people went to an election not knowing that any of this had occurred, not knowing that there was a shadow government operating in darkness."
Albanese told reporters in Brisbane that he found it incomprehensible that the appointments weren't publicly announced at the time. He alluded to the secrecy in the movie "Fight Club."
"The first rule of power-grab club is don't talk about power-grab club, and Scott Morrison broke that rule today," Albanese said. "Scott Morrison was evasive, he was defensive, he was passive-aggressive and of course, he was self-serving. So at least he was true to himself today."
Morrison used his additional powers on at least one occasion, to overturn a decision by former minister Keith Pitt to approve a contentious gas project off the New South Wales coast.
Pitt said in a statement he was unaware Morrison had joint oversight over his ministerial portfolio and that he stands by the decisions he made at the time.
At the time, Morrison said he was vetoing the project in his capacity as prime minister, and did not mention that he had joint oversight over the portfolio.
Morrison on Wednesday said there were different circumstances in that particular case than with his pandemic-related portfolios, and he stood by his decision which he believed was in the national interest.
Morrison's appointments were authorized by Governor-General David Hurley, who said he followed processes consistent with the constitution by signing an "administrative instrument on the advice of the prime minister" — which was Morrison — to give Morrison the extra powers.
Karen Andrews, who served as home affairs minister under Morrison, said Morrison never told her that he was also being appointed to the portfolio. She said Morrison should resign.
"The Australian people have been let down, they have been betrayed," she said. "For a former prime minister to have behaved in that manner, to secretly be sworn into other portfolios, undermines the Westminster system, it's absolutely unacceptable." | https://m.startribune.com/former-australia-pm-says-secret-powers-were-needed-in-crisis/600198942/ | 2022-08-17T06:03:42Z | https://m.startribune.com/former-australia-pm-says-secret-powers-were-needed-in-crisis/600198942/ | true | 35 |

The collapse of a $3bn-plus bid for Link Group looks to have largely come down to price rather than any glaring red flags stumbled upon by Nasdaq-listed SS&C Technology.
When they were ushered in to look deeper into Link’s books and business — including Zoom meetings with key management personnel — SS&C just weren’t convinced the company was worth any more than the indicative bid price of $5.65.
On the SS&C side, chair and CEO Bill Stone and senior vice president and general manager of DST Systems Mike Sleightholme were heavily involved in the Link deliberations.
They were after a friendly deal, and thought by well surpassing a joint private equity bid of $5.40 per Link share, they stood a good chance of meaningful engagement.
The management meetings with the bidder delved into post-Covid-19 recovery assumptions, and other earnings drivers at the share registry, super administration and financial services company. But it wasn’t enough.
SS&C is highly acquisitive and knows the M&A game well, so the withdrawal of the Link bid means they see better opportunities elsewhere.
For the Michael Carapiet-chaired Link board — which had earlier said the SS&C offer did “not represent compelling value” — there are two likely scenarios that can play out. Link is fortunate it can also appease frustrated shareholders with either a trade sale or demerger of its 44 per cent stake in online property settlement firm PEXA.
Informal soundings by the Link camp of interest by private equity and Macquarie Group’s infrastructure and real assets funds business in the PEXA holding has already begun.
There are two pertinent examples the Link board should consider as it plots its next move, and any engagement with private equity suitors Pacific Equity Partners and The Carlyle Group on their sweetened $5.40 offer.
First Link should consider the board of Treasury Wine Estates’ batting off bids in 2014.
While that board was under pressure, and rebuffed two private equity bids, in time it was vindicated for knocking back the respective offers pegged at $5.20 per share. TWE’s stock is now at $9.15, with China trade ructions factored into the price.
But it’s been a different situation for telco Vocus, which has been the subject of at least a trio of takeover offers since 2017. Its shares continue to trade well below where several of those indicative bids came in.
The withdrawal of SS&C’s Link offer has the target’s shares 15.7 per cent lower than where they closed on December 31. The stock finished Thursday at $4.68. Investors on Monday were frazzled about bidding tension being removed from the Link situation and what deterred SS&C, and were also questioning the prospects of the joint private equity bid succeeding.
SS&C isn’t a stranger to this market. In 2019, it entered a bidding contest for financial technology group GBST, which was acquired by global group FNZ.
SS&C has, however, completed a spate of deals in the past three years, including in 2020 buying consulting firm Innovest and machine learning data group Captricity. Two years earlier, SS&C acquired larger targets including virtual dataroom firm Intralinks for $US1.5bn, advisory technology group DST Systems for $US5.4bn and investment software firm Eze Software for $US1.45bn.
With the trade sale process for Link’s PEXA stake revving up in coming weeks, the focus remains squarely on the Link board and their next move.
QBE Vacancies
QBE Insurance is making headway on its executive search to permanently fill the head of Australia role, being kept warm in the interim by former Youi local boss Frank Costigan, who joined QBE in 2018.
This column understands the insurer was conducting interviews right up until Christmas and is now down to the final two candidates. The role is an important one as the board is viewing the person chosen as a strong succession candidate to replace whoever takes the group chief executive job, which is also the subject of a global search.
QBE parted ways with group CEO Pat Regan in September last year due to inappropriate conduct following a complaint from a US-based female employee.
Russell Reynolds Associates is conducting the QBE CEO search, while Johnson Partners is helping to fill the role of Australia boss vacated by Vivek Bhatia, who is now Link Group CEO.
QBE tapped international boss Richard Pryce as acting group CEO.
Moving on
Former Sargon Capital founder Phillip Kingston has several new ventures on the go, including informing his contacts two weeks ago that he is now a partner at Harrington Kingston Hass.
Financial services outfit Sargon, whose board included former Labor senator Stephen Conroy, collapsed a year ago when administrators McGrathNicol were appointed.
It doesn’t, however, look to have dented Kingston’s entrepreneurial spirit.
He was keen to tell his LinkedIn connections about the new venture, which is described as an investigation, negotiation and counter-intelligence company.
“If you need witnesses found, anything looked into or real-time information support for complex litigation anywhere in the world” the new firm can apparently help.
It may seems like an odd move for Kingston but he surely has a diverse range of projects at any one time, including television financing and development group Dragonfire, where he is a partner.
Also listed on his profile is that he founded defence and space industry firm Galactic Bioware. That company’s website notes it is “coming soon”. | https://www.realcommercial.com.au/news/link-touts-pexa-stake-after-price-scares-bidder | 2022-08-17T06:12:11Z | https://www.realcommercial.com.au/news/link-touts-pexa-stake-after-price-scares-bidder | true | 1 |
Major international hotel brands seize opportunities in Australia
As domestic leisure and business travel picks up, international hotel operators are swooping on city and suburban hotels signing management agreements and introducing new brands to Australia.
In Sydney, IHG’s Crowne Plaza and Holiday Inn brands have just signed on two newly built hotels in the western suburbs of Burwood and Parramatta.
IHG has a further 34 more hotel openings in the pipeline on top of the 56 hotels it presently operates here, under the four brands Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn, Voco and InterContinental. Conquest’s newly built Burwood hotel has been rebadged as the IHG-operated Crowne Plaza Sydney Burwood and will be marketed at both business and leisure travellers.
In Parramatta, another Conquest hotel, which opened two years ago has been rebranded as Holiday Inn & Suites Parramatta Marsden Street. Parramatta sports around a third of Australia’s top 100 businesses and is within 30 minutes drive of the forthcoming Western Sydney Airport at Badgerys Creek.
Conquest chief executive Michael Akkawi said the hotels in Burwood and Parramatta had quickly built a loyal customer base.
“As we look to the future after a challenging 2020, we recognise the benefit of partnering with the world’s best brands and distribution channels to build on our past successes,” Mr Akkawi said.
This year Crowne Plaza has opened new properties in Hobart, Adelaide and at Sydney’s Darling Harbour while IHG has 12 Holiday Inn properties in the pipeline for next year including in Melbourne’s Werribee, Richmond, Geelong and Bourke Street Mall.
New research from London-based STR said the Australian hotel sector started improving in October, which was the best month since the start of the pandemic. STR said the occupancy levels were the highest since February, while the occupancy rate and average daily room rate were the highest since March.
Meanwhile, other states are seeing more hotel openings with the Movenpick brand announcing a hotel in Hobart, while Wyndham Hotels & Resorts is further expanding into Australia with Wyndham Grand Adelaide, that will become one of the tallest hotels in South Australia and the first Wyndham Grand hotel in Australia when it opens in 2024.
Equinox Property will develop the $150m tower above Adelaide’s King William Street with the hotel to have 347 rooms and suites.
“The South Australian capital has been experiencing a surge of investment, with new infrastructure projects such as the expansion of Adelaide Airport, the revamp of the Adelaide Oval, and now, the creation of one of the city’s tallest hotels,” said Joon Aun Ooi, president, Asia Pacific, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts.
Adelaide’s new five-star Eos by SkyCity also launches this week.

Returning Players
Haloti Ngata (6-foot-4, 330 pounds, seventh season): A three-time Pro Bowler, Ngata is looking to take his game to the next level. He'd like to follow in the footsteps of Terrell Suggs as Defensive Player of the Year. In order to do that, Ngata would likely need more sacks, as he dipped to five last year from 5.5.
Terrence Cody (6-4, 349, third season): Cody is in the best shape of his career after a full offseason in the team's strength and conditioning program. A full-time starter for the first time last year, Cody is working to be more of a leader and would like to push the pocket more.
Arthur Jones (6-3, 313, third season): Jones is also playing defensive end this year, but will certainly slide inside in four-man fronts. Training in mixed martial arts this spring and continuing to work out in Owings Mills, Jones has trimmed his body hoping to be more explosive in his pass rush.
Bryan Hall (6-0, 295, first season): A practice squad player last year, Hall will have an uphill climb to make the active roster. He is a smaller, quicker tackle able to knife through offensive lines.

Ma'ake Kemoeatu (6-5, 345, tenth season): On a reunion tour, Kemoeatu has lost more than 70 pounds after sitting out 2011 and hopes to drop a full 100. Whether Kemoeatu can rebound from last year's Achilles injury and get in football shape will determine whether he can contribute as a backup run stuffer.
Ryan McBean (6-5, 303, fourth season): McBean will have to sit out the first two regular-season games due to suspension, but the Ravens still saw enough in him to make an investment. The big-bodied McBean showed his quick first step during minicamp, and has flexibility to play defensive end.
Rookies
Nicholas Jean-Baptiste (6-1, 329, Baylor): A former walk-on, Jean-Baptiste will have to beat the odds once again to make the roster. The second-team All-Big 12 player recorded 36 tackles and four sacks as a senior.
Ishmaa'ily Kitchen (6-1, 334, Kent State): A wide body, the undrafted rookie free agent anchored a very strong Golden Flashes defensive line. He has a good base and can clog holes.
Position Battle
With Ngata and Cody entrenched as starters, it's a competition of who will back them up. The race looks to be mainly between Kemoeatu and McBean.
McBean is younger, and perhaps more athletic at this point of his career. But he doesn't have the experience in Baltimore's system. Kemoeatu has to prove that he's fully healthy to earn a roster spot. McBean looks to be a good bargain replacement for departed defensive end Cory Redding.
Jones will compete for the starting defensive end position (at least on rushing downs) with Pernell McPhee. He'll also get a lot of time subbing into different packages at defensive tackle. | https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/the-competition-defensive-tackles-7743710 | 2022-08-17T06:22:55Z | https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/the-competition-defensive-tackles-7743710 | true | 1 |
Oil reserve estimates, which signal the direction of crude output, climbed to 31.8 billion barrels at the end of last year after plummeting in 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic forced energy companies to curtail activity.
U.S. reserves were still lower than 2019 levels of 32.5 billion barrels, according to the analysis, which used estimates from 50 publicly traded companies holding the largest U.S. oil and gas reserves.
The upswing in reserves last year was primarily due to larger independent oil and gas companies buying private energy companies and acquiring other reserves. The studied group of companies spent $94 billion to acquire proved and unproved properties.
"That significantly exceeds any other year in the study," said Herb Listen, partner at Ernst & Young. Spending last year on exploration, at about $8 billion, was among the lowest in the studied years.
ConocoPhillips, Chevron Corp, Exxon Mobil Corp, EOG Resources and Occidental Petroleum Corp had the biggest U.S. reserves in 2021.
Oil trading near $90 a barrel is likely to spur interest in new production. But pressure on companies to limit spending, return capital to investors, and address climate concerns will challenge any big push for growth, Listen said.
Companies might reallocate funds towards U.S. oil activity following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which led Exxon and others to exit Russia, said David Johnston, who leads EY's Strategy and Transactions practice in energy.
Over the five-year period, oil production grew 27% to 3 billion barrels, or the highest output during the study period. Output from large independent producers jumped about 70% and integrated producers output rose by 33%. Small independents dropped by 35% over the same period.
The largest U.S. producers in 2021 were Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Occidental, EOG and Exxon, respectively.

The All India Football Federation being banned by the world football governing body, FIFA meant that the national teams wouldn’t be able to contest on the international stage. But it also meant that the Indian clubs wouldn’t be able to participate in the continental competitions including the Gokulam Kerala FC women’s team in the AFC Women’s Club Championship.
The club has now written a letter to the Prime Minister’s office, requesting intervention in the ban and helping them participate in Asia’s premier club competition.
“Our team reached Tashkent, Uzbekistan, from Kozhikode during the early hours of 16th of August 2022,” wrote Ashok Kumar, the Gokulam Kerala FC CEO. “On arrival, we heard through various media outlets that FIFA has banned AIFF (All India Football Federation) and the clubs are therefore no longer entitled to take part in the international competition until the suspension is lifted.”
“In the light of the above, we request PMOs good officers to intervene in this matter and make all efforts to revoke FIFA ban and include us back in the AFC Women’s Club Championship as the champion club of India.”

The 23-player Gokulam Kerala FC squad had made the trip to play Iranian club Bam Khatoon FC on 26th August but following the news of the ban have been grounded in the capital of Uzbekistan.
“Our Prime Minister’s dream is to make India a Super Power and become number 1 in the world,” Kumar further wrote in the letter. “In a small way, our club is spearheading the efforts to bring women’s football in India by being the champion club of Indian since 2019. Such an unforeseen ban should not be detrimental to our efforts in making INDIA proud to become the number one women’s football nation in Asia.”
FIFA had stated that the suspension on AIFF will be lifted once an order to set up a committee of administrators to assume the powers of the AIFF Executive Committee has been repealed and the AIFF administration regains full control of the AIFF’s daily affairs.

Environmental group announces reinstated Israel trip
Sierra Club reschedules Israel trips that it canceled under pressure from pro-Palestinian groups.
(J. The Jewish News of Northern California via JTA) — Five months after canceling its planned trips to Israel, and then — following outrage from Jewish organizations — apologizing days later and saying the trips would be reinstated, the Sierra Club has quietly posted a new excursion to Israel for next year.
Called “Natural and Historical Highlights of Israel,” the two-week trip in March 2023 will include many of the same activities the Sierra Club offered before activists convinced the environmental nonprofit to cancel two Israel outings: snorkeling, bird watching, nights on a kibbutz and a visit to Tel Aviv.
Participants also will be meeting with Palestinian Authority (PA) Arabs working on conservation to hear “first-hand about their daily and ongoing challenges,” according to the itinerary that was posted Friday. The itinerary additionally lists a visit to the Arava Institute, which brings Israelis, PA Arabs, Jordanians, and students from around the world together for environmental studies and research, and whose motto is “Nature knows no political borders.”
The planned trip is the latest development in a saga that saw one of the country’s oldest and most influential environmental groups — which traditionally avoids politics in favor of a big-tent approach to environmental conservation — embroiled in a public controversy that drew ire from large Jewish organizations and prompted intervention by California politicians.
Jesse Gabriel, a California Assembly member who chairs the California Legislative Jewish Caucus, joined a virtual meeting with Sierra Club Executive Director Dan Chu along with other members of the caucus after J. broke the story March 11 that the Sierra Club had indefinitely postponed its trips to Israel at the urging of groups who claimed Sierra Club was “greenwashing” the conflict. The Sierra Club is headquartered in Oakland.
“It immediately caught my attention, as it did for a number of my colleagues in the [caucus],” Gabriel said. “A lot of us do work in the environmental space and have good relationships with the Sierra Club. People were obviously very upset by that, and very disturbed by it.”
Anti-Defamation League (ADL) CEO Jonathan Greenblatt also met with Sierra Club leadership in March and said he was “encouraged” by those conversations. “Experiencing Israel through its environment, geology, history, and people does not negate, nor ‘greenwash,’ the pressing reality of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict,” he wrote in an open letter to Chu.
Among the organizations that urged Sierra Club leadership to scrap its planned Israel outings were the U.S.-based PA advocacy group the Adalah Justice Project, the Indigenous rights group the NDN Collective, the Movement for Black Lives coalition, and the anti-Zionist group Jewish Voice for Peace.
The groups leveled claims that Sierra Club was supporting an apartheid regime and providing cover for Israel’s mistreatment of PA Arabs by celebrating its environmental stewardship. Sierra Club, in general, has said it does not get involved in foreign policy matters, and it offers outings to a host of countries, from Tanzania to China.
The advocacy groups, many of which support boycotts of Israel, celebrated after Sierra Club decided to scrap its Israel trips and removed all mention of them from its website. JVP called it a “positive step forward for environmental justice and Palestinian freedom.” Later the groups soured after Chu published a statement March 15 apologizing for Sierra Club’s decision, saying it was made “hastily,” and that new trips to Israel would be on offer “soon” and would involve “input from a wide range of partners.”
Internally, the episode created uncertainty and tension within the Sierra Club. Its leadership was split on the decision, which alienated some longtime members and volunteer leaders.
David Neumann of Oregon, who has led outings since the 1970s, saw the decision as indicative of a pendulum swing left at the nonprofit, which he said was off-putting to a number of longtime members he knew. Neumann is Jewish and said the news hit him hard: “I haven’t had a lot of sleep lately,” he said at the time.
The Sierra Club last week warned its employees about the new trips to Israel and the challenging feelings they might engender, according to a note obtained and published by the Adalah Justice Project.
“On Friday Sierra Club will announce details of an upcoming outing to Israel and Palestine,” said the note, which was addressed to Sierra Club managers. “We have created optional spaces tomorrow and Friday to equip managers to support their teams and support people on their teams as well as managers who have identities related to Palestine and Israel.”
The group did not respond to requests for comment. But it addressed the Israel controversy in a public statement last week that situated the episode within the Sierra Club’s efforts to examine its own role “in perpetuating white supremacy.”
Founded in 1892, the group was “basically a mountaineering club for middle and upper-class white people” in its early years, it has said in previous public statements. Recently, amid a national reckoning over race, the group has made internal changes designed to increase equity and oppose racism, including by rethinking, for example, its veneration of Sierra Club founder John Muir, the turn-of-the-20th-century naturalist who made derogatory comments about Black and Indigenous people.
The controversy over the Israel trips became “a critical inflection point in our journey to becoming an organization that fully illustrates anti-racism, balance, collaboration, justice and transformation,” the Sierra Club said in a statement published late last week, titled “Toward Just and Transformative Outings.”
In the statement, the Sierra Club again apologized for its abrupt decision to cancel the trips, both for derailing planning that had already taken place by trip leaders and participants and because of anger from “some of our Jewish community members who perceived our decision as a political statement.”
The decisions to cancel and then plan new trips “were perceived as conflicting, were made in quick succession, and ultimately perpetuated harm and confusion throughout our entire community, especially our our Palestinian, Indigenous, Arab, Middle Eastern, Muslim, and Jewish staff, volunteers, members and partners,” the statement said. “While we intended to satisfy our various and valued partners, our execution caused an adverse reaction that lead us on a path of repairing and rebuilding with key members of our community — including our volunteers, our staff, our partners, our members, and our donors — who were deeply harmed and frustrated by not only the original trip, but by the non-consultative process that ensued.”
Pro-Palestinian Authority groups exploded with public statements late last week excoriating what they called the nonprofit’s “apartheid tours.”
“In February, we demanded Sierra Club cancel Israel outings greenwashing Israeli colonization and its disastrous impact on the Palestinian people,” a joint statement from the Adalah Justice Project and the NDN Collective read. “Sierra Club canceled two trips but backtracked after pressure from racist anti-Palestinian groups.”
“We condemn Sierra Club’s upcoming trips to apartheid Israel that green light Israeli colonialism and harm Indigenous Palestinians,” the statement said.
Along with Jewish Voice for Peace, the groups urged a social-media campaign to push back at the Sierra Club on Instagram and Twitter. “Demand that Sierra Club cancel their upcoming apartheid tours!” an Instagram post from Adalah said. “There can be no environmental justice without Indigenous sovereignty and Indigenous people leading the way,” another post read.
The San Francisco-based office of the ADL welcomed the news.
“As the itinerary highlights, Israel is rich in history and home to many natural wonders and initiatives of interest to anyone who is concerned about the environment,” said Seth Brysk, the ADL’s regional director. “Experiencing Israel through its environment, geology, history and people provides essential opportunities for first-hand enriching engagement into the many complex issues that must be globally addressed.”
The two-week trip is scheduled to depart March 14 and has a capacity of 15 people. It costs $5,455 per person, and will include floating in the Dead Sea, a hike up Masada and a visit to Eilat, one of the world’s most important stop-over sites for migratory birds.
The itinerary also includes visits to a Druze village, the Bahai Temple in Haifa and an “eco village” where PA Arabs and Israelis work together on water conservation issues. The trip leader is Shlomo Waser, a Bay Area resident who was born in Israel and holds a life membership in the Sierra Club. Waser did not respond to a request for comment. | https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/358294 | 2022-08-17T06:33:30Z | https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/358294 | false | 6 |
A pilot who fell to his death from a twin-engine plane in North Carolina last month appeared "visibly upset" and told his co-pilot that he felt sick and needed air after a mid-flight emergency, federal officials said Tuesday.
Charles Hew Crooks, 23, who was second-in-command on the CASA CN-212 Aviocar, then removed his headset, got up from his seat and apologized to the senior pilot before “exiting” via the plane’s the aft ramp door, according to a preliminary report into the July 29 incident from the National Transportation Safety Board.
The pilot, who has not been identified, told investigators that Crooks did not appear to reach for a bar that was roughly six feet above the ramp before he fell, the report says.
Crooks was not wearing a parachute at the time.
Earlier, the pilots had been ferrying skydivers when their plane “dropped” and its landing gear struck a runway, the report says.
Crooks declared an emergency and coordinated with air traffic controllers at Raleigh-Durham International Airport, according to the report.
After roughly 20 minutes, Crooks became “visibly upset” about the hard landing and stopped communicating with air traffic controllers, the report says.
At roughly the same time, Crooks opened the side window in the cockpit and “may have gotten sick,” the commanding pilot told investigators, according to the report.
After falling from the plane, the commanding pilot alerted air traffic controllers and went searching for Crooks, the report says.
He landed the plane in a grassy area near the Raleigh airport around 2:40 p.m. Crooks’ body was found in a neighborhood in Fuquay-Varina, southwest of Raleigh, roughly five hours later after a resident heard a noise in their backyard.
Crooks’ father, Hew Crooks, told NBC affiliate WRAL of Raleigh, that his son was a certified flight instructor who had spent years working to become a pilot.
“He pursued his private pilot license while he was in college. I think he got that when he was a sophomore,” Crooks told the station. “He said a couple weeks ago he wouldn’t trade places with anybody in the world. He loved where he was.”
“I can’t imagine what happened,” he added. “We’ll figure it out, I suppose.” | https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/pilot-fell-death-was-visibly-upset-flight-emergency-officials-say-rcna43449 | 2022-08-17T06:33:55Z | https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/pilot-fell-death-was-visibly-upset-flight-emergency-officials-say-rcna43449 | true | 1 |

Summit aims to future-proof workers as real wages suffer record fall
By Shane Wright
The biggest fall in Australians’ real wages on record has intensified pressure on the federal government’s looming jobs and skills summit to come up with ways to boost take-home pay and future-proof the economy against major structural changes.
Figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics on Wednesday showed the wage price index increased by 0.7 per cent in the three months to the end of June, taking the annual rate of growth to a lower-than-expected 2.6 per cent.
Over the past 12 months, the consumer price index increased by 6.1 per cent, leaving a gap of 3.5 percentage points between inflation and wages growth. It is the biggest drop in real wages since the ABS started collating the wage price index in the late 1990s.
Private sector wages grew by 0.7 per cent over the quarter, taking annual growth to 2.7 per cent. But for the public sector, wages lifted by 0.6 per cent to just 2.4 per cent.
The Reserve Bank, lifting interest rates at their fastest rate since 1994, says businesses are reporting real struggles to find workers which is translating into higher wages. Some firms are paying sign-on bonuses to attract staff or making generous lump-sum payments on top of ordinary pay rises.
ABS data that includes bonuses showed a 0.9 per cent jump in the quarter and by 3.4 per cent over the past 12 months. It was the strongest June quarter result since mid-2009 while the annual result was the best since June 2012.
But public sector wages with bonuses only lifted by 0.4 per cent in the quarter and by 2.4 per cent over the past year.
Through the June quarter, about 14 per cent of the workforce enjoyed an average pay rise of 3.8 per cent, which is the highest rate since 2012. The figures pre-date the 5.2 per cent increase in the minimum wage which started feeding into the pay packets of low-income earners from July 1.
While wage growth will be a dominant issue at the jobs summit, the government’s discussion paper for the event suggests it is looking at longer-term issues.
Ahead of the early September summit, a discussion paper for its 100 attendees reveals the government – under pressure from the squeeze on workers’ incomes – wants to also focus on sustaining low unemployment while overturning a decade of declining productivity growth.
The government is expecting the summit, which will include representatives from business, unions and the non-government sector, to deliver policy ideas that can feed into the October budget as well as a broader employment white paper to be released next year.
While wage growth will be a dominant issue at the jobs summit, the government’s discussion paper for the event suggests it is looking at longer-term issues.
They include discussion points about major trends that could change the structure of the economy, forcing businesses to find new staff in emerging areas or requiring the re-training of workers they already employ.
“How can government and businesses maximise the opportunities presented by the structural
trends impacting the economy, including the climate and energy transition, while ensuring the
benefits are shared fairly?” it asks.
“How can we best take advantage of structural changes like digitalisation, climate change, the
shift to renewable energy, the ageing population, and growth in the services sector and care
economy to boost productivity and sustain full employment?”
The discussion paper makes clear the industrial relations system, particularly around ensuring productivity-related changes lead to better wages for workers, is open for debate among attendees.
One of those likely to attend the summit, ACTU secretary Sally McManus, said the wage price index figures confirm workers’ wages had fallen back to 2011 levels, arguing the summit had to deal with the “serious failure” of the income system.
“It is clear that we have a serious systemic problem. We have been promised wages would go up when productivity goes up – they have not,” she said.
“We were promised that when business does well pay rises will come – they have not.”
Commonwealth Bank chief economist Gareth Aird said the wages figures made clear there was no wage-price spiral to force the Reserve Bank into more aggressive interest rate increases in coming months.
“The upshot is that whilst wages growth across the economy is moving higher and some people are receiving large pay rises, there has not been broad‑based wages pressures. Indeed, real wages growth is deeply negative,” he said.

Darius Danesh was on the brink of a Pop Idol comeback weeks before his death. The pop star was set to come back to the UK in just weeks for a Pop Idol reunion special being made by Thames TV.
A friend told the Sun newspaper: “He was really excited about the reunion and was in talks with producers to appear on it. They were looking at getting filming started around the end of September. It was going to be an hour-and a-half-long special hosted by Ant and Dec and full of nostalgia for the millions of Pop Idol fans.
“I spoke to Darius recently and he was in good spirits — he was his usual happy self.” Simon Cowell has remembered former Pop Idol contestant and theatre star Darius as "charismatic, funny and just a great person to be with" following the singer's death aged 41.

In a statement given to the PA news agency, the former Pop Idol judge said: "I first saw Darius on television over 20 years ago and I got to know him really well. He was charismatic, funny and just a great person to be with.
"His passing, for someone so young, is an absolute tragedy and my heart goes out to his family and friends." Cowell, 62, was a judge on the ITV singing competition show in 2001 during Campbell Danesh's time as a contestant.

Sanofi provides update on amcenestrant clinical development program
PARIS, August 17, 2022. Sanofi is discontinuing the global clinical development program of amcenestrant, an investigational oral selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD). The decision is based on the outcome of a prespecified interim analysis of the Phase 3 AMEERA-5 trial evaluating amcenestrant in combination with palbociclib compared with letrozole in combination with palbociclib in patients with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) advanced breast cancer.
An Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) found that amcenestrant in combination with palbociclib did not meet the prespecified boundary for continuation in comparison with the control arm and recommended stopping the trial. No new safety signals were observed. Trial participants will be transitioned to letrozole in combination with palbociclib or another appropriate standard of care therapy, as determined by their physician.
The company will continue to review the data and plans to share the results with the scientific community in the future. All other studies of amcenestrant, including in early-stage breast cancer (AMEERA-6), will be discontinued.
John Reed, MD, PhD
Global Head of Research and Development at Sanofi
“While we are disappointed by this outcome, our research will further the scientific understanding of endocrine therapies in people with breast cancer. Our sincere gratitude goes to the patients, families and healthcare professionals involved in the amcenestrant clinical development program. Oncology remains a priority area for Sanofi, and we will continue to pursue transformative research to develop new medicines for people living with cancer.”
In March, Sanofi announced that the Phase 2 AMEERA-3 trial had not met the primary endpoint of improving progression-free survival in patients with ER+/HER2- advanced or metastatic breast cancer.
About AMEERA-5
AMEERA-5 is a randomized, double-blind Phase 3 trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of amcenestrant in combination with palbociclib, a CDK4/6 inhibitor, in the first-line treatment of patients with ER+/HER2- advanced breast cancer. A total of 1068 patients who had not received any prior systemic anticancer therapies for advanced disease were randomized 1:1 to receive either amcenestrant or letrozole in combination with palbociclib.
About AMEERA-6
AMEERA-6 is a randomized, double-blind Phase 3 trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of amcenestrant compared with tamoxifen in patients with hormone receptor-positive early breast cancer who have discontinued adjuvant aromatase inhibitor (AI) therapy due to treatment related toxicity. The trial was initiated in partnership with the Breast International Group (BIG), the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC), and the Alliance Foundation Trials (AFT).

Aug 17, 2022 Editorial
Kaieteur News – The West has issued a sharp warning to countries in the hunt for cheap loans, which usually fall afoul of crippling terms that leave them vulnerable to foreign pressures. The word from the West is stark: borrow from the Chinese at own risk. To say differently, the West is cautioning: Get caught in lures of sweet on-the-surface Chinese debt, and there will be trouble. All the fine print, those suffocating terms and conditions that trick poor Third World nations in the Chinese debt trap, will now be open to Western eyes, as they probe to determine what to do next. This, too, is a new form of enslavement for impoverished Third World countries in Africa, Asia, and this region, with the latest being Sri Lanka and Pakistan standing as countries reduced to begging for relief from any source.
The West is applying the squeeze in a series of swarming moves against the Chinese now clearly its main challenger and competitor for influence and dominance on the world stage. When we say the West, it is less of decision makers in Europe, and more of leaders in Washington, who dictate how these things unfurl. Frankly, Western lenders are not much better in the hellish terms that they apply to sovereign borrowers who binged on debt, and ended up with bad credit. Big debt hangover, and a bad record of repaying, even defaulting, on loans inevitably lead to the poor reputation of a bad borrower. In such circumstances, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is turned to as a lender of last resort. Countries recoil from having to deal with the IMF, for it has gained a well-earned name as a Mafia institution.
But borrowers are beggars, and beggars can’t be choosers. The IMF gets the right to be a chooser, relative to those countries that it will lend to, those that it puts in a headlock. The IMF also gets to choose what records it asks for, how deep it decides to drill down, which is exactly what commercial banks do when lending money to citizens and companies. Antennas go up, and scrutiny tightens cruelly when there is already a heavy loan overload. Western lenders, with the IMF leading, are insisting on more disclosures about the debt deals they did with China, from those countries that turn up at their doors begging.
Pakistan, which was already weighed down with Chinese loans, had to disclose the additional details identified by the IMF, as part of the consideration for a US$6B loan that it was seeking to avoid a debt crisis. It is called ‘debt transparency’ and the entire debt exposure of a nation down on its knees begging the IMF (and other Western lenders) has to be put on the table. This is the level of humiliation that leaders of sovereign nations have to face, where all their dirty debt linen is placed before cold-blooded western bankers. It is the hard price for bingeing on debt, and allowing themselves to be suckered in what looked so alluring, only for those billions in loans to end up being monstrous yokes hanging around the necks of suffering countries led into debt swamps by criminally irresponsible leaders.
As we examine the newer, tougher standards of Western-based lenders, our thoughts are close to home. The Coalition APNU+AFC did its share of borrowing, but when compared to its borrowings, the returning PPP/C Government has been on a debt rampage, in an unholy rush to borrow billions from any lender from any place. It looks like leaders in the PPP/C Government harbour some fear that loans will be scarce to come by, so they race to stock up on debt. Guyana is in a debt hole of its own making already. Our leaders must slow down the borrowing, weigh which projects should be done, those that could wait for a little while. This hustling towards more debt must cease immediately; the thinking of debt as a front for frauds must be guarded against, and overcome. Debts shackle citizens tighter, expose them, and we hope that the resolve of leaders in the PPP/C Government, is that enough debt horrors have been piled upon them already. Be done now with so much debt.

BEIJING, Aug 17 (APP): Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said that China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) was laying foundation for sustained indigenous economic modernization and its growth to connect markets within and across the region was a logical next step.
In an exclusive interview with the Global Times he spoke on a broad range of topics including China-Pakistan relations, regional and international situation, CPEC and upcoming 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC).
Shehbaz talked about attaching great importance to the joint construction of the Belt and Road flagship project, and refuted the some countries’ statement the CPEC was a threat.
Since its launch in 2013, the CPEC has continued to make rapid and tangible progress. Over the past 10 years, the construction of the CPEC has helped Pakistan reduce the bottlenecks caused by past power shortages and weak infrastructure, laying the foundation for the development of sustained economic modernization, he added.
“As a prime minister, I give priority to the timely completion of the ongoing CPEC project as the cornerstone of our future bilateral economic cooperation agenda,” he remarked.
Shehbaz Sharif said he visited a number of CPEC projects, including the Port of Gwadar, and directed the completion of projects as scheduled so that the people of the both countries can reap the benefits.
He said, the Chinese enterprises and investors were the key to cooperation between the two countries, and the Pakistani government has spared no effort to facilitate them and begin to prepare for the implementation of the common priorities of the next phase of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.
“We will continue to work closely with China to enhance the momentum of cooperation between the two countries,” he added.
To a question about his expectations for the future planning and development prospects of the corridor, he said, the CPEC was a long-term blueprint for the two countries to support each other on the long road of development and improve the well-being of their people.
The construction of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor has become more concrete after achieving an early harvest phase focused on energy and infrastructure development.
“In the short term, we hope to complete major infrastructure projects under construction as soon as possible, including the strategic Pakistan Main Line 1 (ML-1), which will further accelerate the transfer of industries and help consolidate our integration into global value chains,” he said.
About Pak-China friendship, he said the all-weather strategic partnership between Pakistan and China was deeply rooted in people’s hearts, covering all areas of bilateral cooperation.
“With the careful nurture of generations of leaders of the two countries, all political factions in Pakistan have a full consensus on further deepening the strategic partnership,” he remarked.
Shehbaz Sharif said, the two countries support each other on the issue of mutual core interests. Pakistan has always firmly supported the One China Policy and believed that Taiwan was its an inalienable part.
He said, Pakistan-China relations were an important factor for peace and stability in the region and the world. Pakistan was one of the earliest supporters of President Xi Jinping’s Belt and Road Initiative. Its flagship project, the CPEC, has changed Pakistan’s economic landscape.
“Pakistan is also one of the main partners in global development initiatives. I believe that Pakistan and China will continue to work together to build a community with a shared future for mankind”.
Sharing his impressions about China, he said, “I have visited China many times and always amazed at the rise of China. Over the past 40 years of reform and opening up, nearly 800 million people in China have been lifted out of poverty, which is an unprecedented great achievement and a miracle of modern society.”
He appreciated concentration, wisdom and determination of Chinese leaders and the hard work of the Chinese nation to put China on the modern path of success and prosperity.
“I am also keen about the profound impact of Chinese civilization on the world. Whether it is China’s governance model, the rapid development of modernization and economy, and adherence to the people-centered development ideology, it is of reference significance for all developing countries, including Pakistan,” the prime minister appreciated China’s stride.
Regarding upcoming 20th National Congress of the CPC to be held in Beijing and development of China in the past 10 years and his expectations for China’s future development, he remarked, “China’s rise is a modern miracle. This goal cannot be achieved without the leadership of the Communist Party of China”.
“In 1949, the Communist Party of China led the people of all ethnic groups in the country, got rid of the shackles of semi-feudalism and semi-colonialism, and established the People’s Republic of China. Last year, the Communist Party of China celebrated its 100th birthday”.
The Communist Party of China holds high the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era and was leading China on a new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way, he added.
The prime minister said, China has built itself into an economic power and its people’s per capita income has doubled in 10 years.
“I believe that China’s ‘double cycle’ strategy and emphasis on high-quality development are formulated in response to the economic realities of the next decade. I firmly believe that under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese nation will be able to realize the dream of great national rejuvenation”.
To a question about China’s role in the current world situation, he said, “I agree with Chinese leaders that the world today is undergoing a great change that has not been in a century. The world is in turmoil, and conflicts continue to affect many parts of the world”.
In this challenging era, developing countries, including Pakistan, all agree with China’s emphasis on responding to the current international changes by establishing mutually beneficial partnerships and adhering to peace, development and dialogue, he added.
Pakistan, like the vast number of developing countries, has benefited from President Xi Jinping’s open and inclusive global development platform, the far-sighted Belt and Road Initiative.
The CPEC, Shehbaz said has made Pakistan a fulcrum of regional integration, connecting South Asia, Central Asia and the Middle East. Similarly, global development initiatives provide a comprehensive blueprint for achieving sustainable development goals.
“In fact, these initiatives show that China is ready to shoulder the responsibilities of major powers, strengthen international cooperation, and promote the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind,” he added.
While evaluating Pakistan’s current development path, he said, resilience, hard work and dedication constitute the development story of Pakistan.
“We have faced many serious challenges, but we have successfully met them. We have built a batch of high-quality infrastructure. Pakistan is one of the youngest and most talented countries, so it has continued to develop and achieve achievements. We have the talent to drive our own development,” he said.
The prime minister said, “the development strategy of the coalition government depends on how to repair the economic fundamentals that constrain us from realizing our existing potential. In order to stabilize the economy, we urgently need to lay the foundation for the long-delayed structural reform. We also need to deepen economic and trade relations with friendly countries”.
“The public policy transformation from geopolitics to geo-economics represents a consensus that we should realize the potential to accelerate our development. The core of our development strategy remains to safeguard the well-being of the Pakistani people and make Pakistan a self-reliant state”, the prime minister concluded. | https://www.app.com.pk/global/cpec-laying-foundation-for-indigenous-economic-modernization-pm/ | 2022-08-17T06:49:44Z | https://www.app.com.pk/global/cpec-laying-foundation-for-indigenous-economic-modernization-pm/ | true | 3 |

The power of connection driving Australians to shop small and local this Christmas
This Christmas, more Australians than ever want to “shop small” and “shop local”, according to retail experts and those behind burgeoning online platforms tapping into the phenomenon.
While online marketplaces such as Buy from the Bush and Spend with Us, which connect small, often rural businesses with shoppers across the country, emerged after bushfires and droughts in recent years, even more digital players, like Buy Something from Tasmania and Localling are entering the space as COVID seemingly changes spending habits for good.
Traditional shopfront businesses are reporting an uptick in customers consciously choosing to shop in their neighbourhood or suburb.
The industry experts noting the trend say the days of visiting a generic mainstream mall to buy every Christmas gift in one hit are fading fast.
‘Make a connection, a difference’
Buy from the Bush publicist Georgie Robertson said although the popular site for Australian bush businesses pre-dates COVID, it has noted the post-pandemic preference for local and small-scale.
Just as was the case when Grace Brennan launched the concept – which was an Instagram page before morphing into a curated online marketplace that takes a commission – from her New South Wales farm in 2019, shoppers this year want to “make a connection and make a difference.”
“As they did post-bushfire and drought, people really want to support small and local businesses that might be struggling given everything that’s happened with COVID,” she said. “They want that connection and to understand the story behind the maker they’re buying from.”
Retail strategist Salena Knight agreed that the importance of community, a key theme during COVID – especially in Melbourne, where residents’ movement was limited to set-kilometre radiuses for large portions of lockdown – was fuelling the consumer shift.
Whether it’s spending online or in local bricks and mortar stores, “coming out of the last 18 months, consumers want to feel good about where their money is going and who it’s supporting”.
The feel-good factor is important too, she added.
“When someone asks you about that beautiful laptop bag you’re carrying, you don’t get nearly as much sense of pride saying ‘I got it at DJs’ than you do when you recount the story of how it’s hand-stitched by an artisan leather maker in country NSW who puts hours into finding the correct colour combinations of stitching, leather, and buckles, do you?”
Susy Jones, the founder of Localling, which is still a few months away from going live, said she was inspired to create the start-up after seeing first-hand the devastating effects of lockdown on her family’s Melbourne restaurant.
“I’m on a mission to shake up how shoppers find and buy from local businesses. Think of it as a hybrid of that balloon gift business, those food delivery apps, the multi-store gift cards for major retailers you see in major supermarkets, and online gift and gift card stores, but for local business,” she said.
A geolocation feature will mean consumers can find a “local” product, service, or gift from independently owned small-to-medium-sized local businesses, ranging from restaurants to day spas and even artists.
Unique retail fuelling entrepreneurial economy
A survey by global commerce platform Shopify identified the “buy local” trend too, with 60% of shoppers planning to buy from locally-owned stores in big pre-Christmas sales such as Black Friday.
Shaun Broughton, managing director of Shopify Asia Pacific, said buying local was followed by buying at department stores at 53% and big-box retail locations at 40%.
“With so many amazing and unique local retailers emerging around the country, keeping Australia’s entrepreneurial economy well and truly thriving, it’s no wonder consumers are keen to throw their support behind local businesses that may have done it tough in 2021,” he said.
Supply chain and shipping still an issue
On the surface, buying from a small producer online or in-person from a local store might seem like a way to circumvent the supply chain disruptions and shipping delays caused by COVID, but it’s not always the case, Ms Knight said.
“Buying local is certainly going to allow you access to stores that can get you products as soon as possible but it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you’ll just pop into your local boutique or toy store and get everything you want.
“The biggest stressor, for retailers and customers, is the huge global supply chain issues we’re facing. Many independent retailers won’t be able to access to the range and the number of products they would normally.
“Larger stores have ways of mitigating supply chain issues (to a degree) but smaller retailers rely on distributors being able to source the products and being able to get access to the products that have landed if the bigger stores haven’t already stepped in and taken it.” | https://www.realcommercial.com.au/news/the-power-of-connection-driving-australians-to-shop-small-and-local-this-christmas | 2022-08-17T06:54:31Z | https://www.realcommercial.com.au/news/the-power-of-connection-driving-australians-to-shop-small-and-local-this-christmas | true | 1 |

South Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol said his government has no plans to pursue its own nuclear deterrent despite growing threats from the North.
Mr Yoon’s comments during a news conference came hours after South Korea’s military detected the North firing two cruise missiles from a region near its capital Pyongyang toward its western waters.
Tensions could rise further next week as the United States and South Korea kick off their biggest combined military training in years to counter the North Korean threat.
The North describes such drills as invasion rehearsals and has often responded to them with missile tests or other provocations.
Mr Yoon told reporters that South Korea does not desire political change in North Korea that is brought by force and he called for diplomacy aimed at building sustainable peace between the rivals amid tensions over the North’s accelerating weapons programme.
His comments came days after he proposed an “audacious” economic assistance package to North Korea if it abandons its nuclear weapons programme, while avoiding harsh criticism of the North after it threatened “deadly” retaliation over a Covid-19 outbreak it blames on the South.
Mr Yoon’s proposal for large-scale aid in food and healthcare and modernising power and port infrastructure resembled previous South Korean offers that were rejected by North Korea, which is speeding its development of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles, seen by leader Kim Jong Un as his strongest guarantee of survival.
Still, Mr Yoon expressed hope for “meaningful dialogue” with North Korea over his plan and stressed that Seoul is willing to provide corresponding economic rewards at each step of a phased denuclearisation process if the North commits to a genuine “road map” toward fully abandoning its weapons programme.
“We are not telling them to ‘denuclearise entirely first and then we will provide’,” Mr Yoon said. “What we are saying is that we will provide the things we can in correspondence to their steps if they only show a firm determination (toward denuclearisation).”
Inter-Korean ties have worsened amid a stalemate in larger nuclear negotiations between North Korea and the US that derailed in early 2019 because of disagreements over a relaxation of crippling US-led sanctions on the North in exchange for disarmament steps.
North Korea has ramped up its missile testing to a record pace in 2022, launching more than 30 ballistic weapons so far, including its first intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) in nearly five years.
The heightened testing activity underscores North Korea’s dual intent to advance its arsenal and force the United States to accept the idea of the North as a nuclear power so it can negotiate economic and security concessions from a position of strength, experts say.
Mr Kim could up the ante soon as there are indications that the North is preparing to conduct its first nuclear test since September 2017, when it claimed to have developed a thermonuclear weapon to fit on its ICBMs.
While the ICBMs get much of the international attention, North Korea is also expanding its range of nuclear-capable, short-range missiles that can target South Korea.
Mr Kim has punctuated his weapons development with threats to proactively use his nuclear weapons in conflicts against the South or the US, which experts say communicate an escalating nuclear doctrine that could increase concerns for its neighbours.
Mr Yoon has vowed to strengthen the South’s defences through its alliance with the United States by resuming large-scale military training that was cancelled or downsized during the Trump years and boosting the South’s missile defences. | https://www.expressandstar.com/news/world-news/2022/08/17/no-plan-for-south-korea-to-have-nuclear-weapons-despite-norths-missile-tests/ | 2022-08-17T06:56:23Z | https://www.expressandstar.com/news/world-news/2022/08/17/no-plan-for-south-korea-to-have-nuclear-weapons-despite-norths-missile-tests/ | false | 13 |

The automotive sector is continuously working to develop an integrated approach to a cleaner environment and lower carbon emissions. In order to minimize fuel consumption, automakers are creating more efficient engines and drive trains, and a wide range of sophisticated emissions-control equipment is placing cleaner cars on the road globally. It is forecast that clear improvements in air quality can notice when more new automobiles with contemporary exhaust emissions performance hit the road. As older, more polluting cars replace the new ones. Thus, this trend will continue to lead to the growth of the automotive sector.
Impact Analysis of COVID-19:
The COVID-19 pandemic wreaked havoc on the worldwide automotive industry quickly and severely. Chinese parts shipments halted, large-scale manufacturing disruptions were occurring across Europe, and assembly factories in the United States had to close. This has put a lot of pressure on a sector already dealing with a worldwide demand downturn due to decreased consumer needs. According to data from the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers, the commercial vehicle sector in out of 40 major nations, 17 nations, including Belgium, Canada, Germany, Japan, etc., saw negative growth of 67.5% during the COVID-19 pandemic.
