Washington [US], August 18 (ANI): Jason Alexander, Britney Spears' ex-husband, was arrested in Napa County after being charged with two felonies for allegedly stealing a bracelet in 2015.
According to Fox News, the accusations are separate from his misdemeanour violence and trespass conviction from Spears' June wedding to Sam Asghari, for which he completed a 64-day sentence in Ventura County.
Authorities moved Alexander from the Ventura jail to the Napa County jail on Tuesday according to an arrest warrant filed in 2016 for grand theft with a value exceeding $400 and buying/receiving stolen property.
According to TMZ, Alexander, who was notoriously married to the "Toxic" singer for 55 hours in 2004, is accused of stealing the $2,000 bracelet from a Napa property.
Police claim that he confessed to taking the diamond bracelet from the woman whose house he had been renting for a few weeks at the time and pawning it there.
He was given time served after entering a no contest plea to the misdemeanour charges related to Spears' wedding on Thursday.
After attempting to crash Spears' wedding, the 40-year-old was apprehended at her residence on June 9 and has since stayed in custody. Additionally, he is prohibited from being within 100 yards of Spears and the involved security guard due to a criminal protective order.
His bond has been set at $20,000 for the felony accusation, and his arraignment is planned for Wednesday.
Following a hasty nuptial in Las Vegas when they were both 22 years old, Alexander became the "Baby One More Time" singer's first husband. Two days later, the marriage was declared null and void.
Alexander claimed that Lynne Spears, Spears' mother, and her management coerced the annulment. At the time, it was asserted, that Spears was "incapable of consenting to the marriage."
"We were just looking at each other and said, 'Let's do something wild, crazy. Let's go get married, just for the hell of it,'" Alexander told Access Hollywood a day after the marriage was dissolved.
From 2004 to 2007, Spears was wedded to Kevin Federline, the father of her two sons Sean Preston and Jayden James, then on June 9, she married her longtime partner Asghari.

RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — At the age of 50, Patty Hager was diagnosed with stage two breast cancer.
“The moment I got diagnosed, I was immediately thinking the worst,” Hager said.
But she reached out to resources available to her, including other women who had faced this journey.
“It quickly calmed me down realizing there’s so much that can be done with this diagnosis and there’s so many advancements,” Hager said. “So, I got composure and then just fought with both fists.”
Fight is exactly what she did. Six years later, Hager is a breast cancer survivor.
“Every annual check I get is no evidence of disease and that’s what any cancer survivor wants to hear, no evidence of disease,” Hager said.
Hager is one of more than 3.8 million breast cancer survivors living in the U.S. today, but it’s a never-ending battle.
More than 290,000 people will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year, according to the American Cancer Society.
On Sunday, the American Cancer Society will celebrate Making Strides Against Breast Cancer during a kickoff event at the Crabtree promotional court, located on the lower level of the mall in Raleigh.
The collective goal of the campaign is saving lives and ending breast cancer as we know it.
“The kickoff is the opportunity for us to come out and educate the community, inspire the community, and motivate the community to help us meet and exceed our financial goal,” said Tracey Smith with the American Cancer Society.
This year, Hager’s employer, Lenovo, will be a presenting sponsor of the event.
“When I heard about this event, I was all over it,” said Hager. “I can’t tell you how much leaning on other women who had been in my shoes helped me in this journey and I really want to pay it forward.”
The kickoff event will celebrate survivorship with a breast cancer survivor fashion show, light refreshments and a silent auction.
Attendees are asked to RSVP by Friday.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A judge’s order that forced the Biden administration to resume sales of oil and gas leases on federal land and waters was vacated Wednesday by a federal appeals court in New Orleans.
It was at least a temporary victory for President Joe Biden but the immediate effect was unclear.
The much-heralded climate bill that Biden signed into law Tuesday provides for new drilling opportunities, in a compromise among Democrats, and mandates that several lease sales be held over the next year in the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska.
Biden signed an executive order that suspended new lease sales soon after taking office in 2021. The following March, U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty in Monroe, Louisiana, blocked the policy, siding with a more than a dozen Republican-leaning states opposed to Biden's move.
The appeals court in New Orleans on Wednesday said the judge’s reasons were unclear and sent the case back to him.
“We cannot reach the merits of the Government’s challenge when we cannot ascertain from the record what conduct — an unwritten agency policy, a written policy outside of the Executive Order, or the Executive Order itself — is enjoined,” Judge Patrick Higginbotham wrote for a panel that also included judges James Dennis and James Graves.
Department of the Interior officials were reviewing the decision, spokesperson Melissa Schwartz said. She declined to say whether the climate law made the issue moot.
The practical impacts of the ruling could be minor because of the fossil fuel leasing mandates in the climate law, said Erik Milito, president of the National Ocean Industries Association, which represents oil and gas companies.
The law requires the government to reinstate $192 million in leases in the Gulf of Mexico that were blocked by another court ruling last year. And it requires two more sales in the Gulf and one in Alaska before October 2023. Those sales had been canceled under Biden.
Going forward the law says Interior will hold periodic oil and gas lease sales and offer at least 60 million acres (24 million hectares) of offshore parcels and 2 million acres (810,000 hectares) onshore during the prior year before it can approve any renewable energy leases.
“Offshore oil and gas leasing has been protected and will proceed,” said Milito.
Environmentalists remained hopeful that the ruling would prompt the administration to move forward with other changes to the oil and gas leasing program, such as limits on future development including where leasing occurs.
“They may not be able to deliver a full moratorium on leasing, but at least they can exercise more restraint than they could with the injunction in place,” said Jeremy Nichols with the environmental group WildEarth Guardians. “All eyes are going to be on the Interior Department to see what their next move might be.”
Following last year’s injunction from Doughty that forced lease sales to resume, the Biden administration auctioned off more than 2,700 square miles (6,950 square kilometers) of leases in the Gulf of Mexico in December. The sale was later overturned by a federal judge in Washington D.C., who said the government had failed to adequately consider climate change impacts from burning oil and gas from the Gulf.
In June, the administration sold leases on about 110 square miles (285 square kilometers) of federal land, mostly in Wyoming, despite concluding that future emissions from the parcels offered could cause billions of dollars in damages due to climate change impacts. Legal challenges of those sales by environmentalists are pending.
Doughty was appointed to the federal bench by former President Donald Trump. Higginbotham was appointed to the appeals court by former President Ronald Reagan; Dennis, by former President Bill Clinton; Graves, by former President Barack Obama. | https://www.ctpost.com/news/article/Ruling-clears-Biden-s-2021-pause-on-new-oil-gas-17380432.php | 2022-08-17T22:39:19Z | https://www.ctpost.com/news/article/Ruling-clears-Biden-s-2021-pause-on-new-oil-gas-17380432.php | false | 34 |
Bill Lyons, founder and CEO of Griffin Funding and 2020 HousingWire Vanguard Honoree, sat down with HousingWire to discuss his company’s repeat ranking on the Inc. 5,000 list, along with his upcoming appearance at HW Annual Oct. 3-5. Don’t miss more of Lyon’s great insights when he takes the stage Oct. 4 at the Vanguard Forum, an exclusive event during HW Annual for c-suite leaders.
Earlier this week, Inc. Magazine announced its annual Inc. 5,000 list of the fastest-growing companies in the U.S. in 2022, with nearly 70 mortgage lenders and brokers making it on the list. The announcement marked the fourth time that Lyons’ company made the list. Lyons will be sharing his knowledge on how he has repeatedly navigated the shifting market in the CEO Playbook session during the forum, which is made up of 15-minute, lightning round speeches from some of the greatest housing leaders of all time.
HousingWire: What does it mean to you to have made the Inc. 5,000 list, not only this year but for the fourth time overall?
Bill Lyons: We are honored to be on the Inc. 5,000 list for the fourth time. That isn’t an easy feat. It validates that we are doing something right. It is about a constant balance of growing and profiting. When you grow quickly and organically without outside investor capital, it is a challenge to ensure the profits follow. Every company that makes the list is in danger of grow, grow, grow, gone. The list can be a blessing and a curse. It’s a very prestigious list to be on and anyone who makes it knows that and respects its power. However, there is no list called “Inc 5000 Most profitable Growing Companies.” You have to make that list on your own when no one is watching.
HW: Since founding Griffin Funding in 2013, the housing market has seen astounding changes. What is your secret to finding success in every market condition?
BL: We stick to our core values and business niches and stay nimble so we can quickly adapt to change. Flexibility and adaptability bring strength and preeminence.
HW: What are your goals for Griffin Funding in the next few years?
BL: We want to continue to be a talent-driven, “team first” organization. I believe that with our team, a customized digital mortgage tech stack (Blend + LearningPad), world-class marketing and sales mastery systems, we can corner 5%+ of the non-QM market. We want to be on the Inc. 5,000 list for the 5th time while also focusing on profits.
HW: What advice would you give to new business founders in their first year?
BL: First focus on profit, then growth. Don’t be the founder dude from the movies who never makes a profit. Teenagers focus on revenue, adults focus on profit. Do an upside-down P&L and put at least 10% profit as your first expense — then try to eventually notch it up to 30%. Focus on self-care and mindset. Business is 95% mental and 5% skill. Adopt the AGB mindset: Always Gets Better.
HW: Which panels or speakers are you most excited about at HW Annual 2022?
BL: I love attending conferences and seminars. Not only do you get to connect face-to-face with friends and colleagues, but you always get to know what is being said in the private back rooms about what is “really” going on in the industry. Not to mention there is always at least one golden nugget of knowledge that you can take with you and take immediate action on.
Bill Lyons will be speaking at The Vanguard Forum, an invitation-only sub-segment of HousingWire Annual on Oct. 4. All invited guests are HousingWire Vanguard Award winners and other high-growth C-Suite professionals. Join us at HW Annual for the content, connections and insights you need to win in this environment. To register, go here, and if you have questions about this forum or how to get invited to the Vanguard Forum, reach out to [email protected]. | https://www.housingwire.com/articles/four-time-inc-5000-mortgage-company-ceo-to-speak-at-hw-annual-oct-4/ | 2022-08-17T22:42:10Z | https://www.housingwire.com/articles/four-time-inc-5000-mortgage-company-ceo-to-speak-at-hw-annual-oct-4/ | true | 1 |
NEW YORK & LONDON, April 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Tiger Infrastructure Partners ("Tiger") announced that its third flagship fund, Tiger Infrastructure Partners Fund III (the "Fund"), closed at its hard cap with $1.25 billion in equity capital commitments (inclusive of commitments from Tiger), reflecting robust investor demand for the firm's innovative strategy of providing transformational growth capital that enables the creation of tomorrow's core infrastructure.
In exceeding its $750 million target, Tiger attracted commitments from the largest existing institutional investors from its predecessor fund and expanded its already well-diversified investor base to include a global array of public and private pension funds, insurance companies, sovereign wealth funds, financial institutions, endowments and foundations, family offices, private wealth platforms and other sophisticated institutional investors.

In the coming months and years, our deep and talented team will build upon the disciplined, partnership-oriented approach to value creation."
Mr. Henry and senior colleagues Marc Blair, Alessandro Boninsegna, and Adam Emmert were among the first to embrace the potential for superior risk-adjusted returns by focusing exclusively on growth-oriented investments in all of Tiger's flagship funds. The firm continues its primary focus on Communications (Digital), Transportation and Energy Transition where significant tailwinds are driving the need for newer infrastructure. Tiger's strategy continues to include the deployment of seasoned Operating Partners, enhancing Tiger's hands-on, value-added approach to growing portfolio companies, applying decades of operating and business-building experience.
The Fund has already invested in five innovative portfolio companies that exemplify Tiger's strategy and cover each of Tiger's target sectors:
- Summit Carbon Solutions, the world's largest carbon capture and sequestration project
- NorthLink Aviation, a developer and operator of critical air cargo infrastructure
- 11:11 Systems, a managed infrastructure solutions provider of cloud, connectivity and security
- Qwello, which develops and operates turnkey EV charging point infrastructure to local municipalities

Orchid Island Capital Announces One-for-five Reverse Stock Split, August 2022 Monthly Dividend and July 31, 2022 RMBS Portfolio Characteristics
- One-for-five reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
- August 2022 Monthly Dividend of $0.16 Per Share of Common Stock
- RMBS Portfolio Characteristics as of July 31, 2022
- Next Dividend Announcement Expected September 12, 2022
VERO BEACH, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Orchid Island Capital, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE: ORC) announced today that the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) approved a reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a ratio of one-for-five (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split is scheduled to take effect at approximately 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on August 30, 2022 (the “Effective Time”). At the Effective Time, every five issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock will be converted into one share of Common Stock, with a proportionate reduction in the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock and preferred stock. The par value of each share of Common Stock will remain unchanged. The shares are expected to begin trading on a split-adjusted basis at market open on August 31, 2022. Trading in the Common Stock will continue on the NYSE under the symbol “ORC” but the security will be assigned a new CUSIP number.
No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, each stockholder that otherwise would receive fractional shares will be entitled to receive, in lieu of such fractional shares, cash in an amount determined on the basis of the closing price of the Common Stock on the NYSE on August 30, 2022. The Reverse Stock Split will apply to all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the Effective Time. Stockholders of record will be receiving information from Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent, regarding their stock ownership following the Reverse Stock Split and cash in lieu of fractional share payments, if applicable. Stockholders who hold their shares in brokerage accounts or in “street name” are not required to take any action in connection with the Reverse Stock Split.
The Company also announced today that the Board declared a monthly cash dividend for the month of August 2022 (the “August Dividend”). The dividend of $0.16 per share will be paid September 28, 2022, to holders of record of Common Stock on August 31, 2022 (the “Record Date”), with an ex-dividend date of August 30, 2022. Because the Record Date for the August Dividend is after the Effective Time of the Reverse Stock Split, the August Dividend will reflect the Reverse Stock Split and will be paid on a split-adjusted basis. The August Dividend equates to a dividend of $0.032 per share of Common Stock on a pre-split basis. The Company plans on announcing its next common stock dividend on September 12, 2022.
The Company estimates book value per share as of August 16, 2022 to be approximately $3.10 to $3.12 per share without giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split, an increase of approximately 8.0% to 8.7% from the book value per share at June 30, 2022 of $2.87. The estimated book value per share includes a deduction for the Company’s July 2022 dividend of $0.045 per share of Common Stock that will be paid on August 28, 2022, which was declared on July 13, 2022 with a July 29, 2022 record date.
The estimated book value per share range is unaudited and has not been verified or reviewed by any third party. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise its estimated book value per share.
The Company intends to make regular monthly cash distributions to its holders of common stock. In order to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), the Company must distribute annually to its stockholders an amount at least equal to 90% of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gain. The Company will be subject to income tax on taxable income that is not distributed and to an excise tax to the extent that a certain percentage of its taxable income is not distributed by specified dates. The Company has not established a minimum distribution payment level and is not assured of its ability to make distributions to stockholders in the future.
As of August 17, 2022, July 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the Company had 176,251,193 shares of common stock outstanding.

Which doesn't make complete sense, given that Bedford comes after Hurst, if you're driving west to east along Texas 183.

The United States took in 76,000 Afghan refugees last year, and many face multiple challenges. The International Rescue Committee is one of the resettlement agencies helping those refugees find housing and work.
Many Afghan refugees in the U.S. got here because they helped coalition forces in Afghanistan. Zamzama Safi is one of them. She was a translator for the U.S. military in Kabul and was evacuated last year.
Here & Now‘s Scott Tong speaks to JC Hendrickson of the IRC about the path ahead for Afghan refugees in the U.S and Safi about her new life in America, a year on.

How to make your own chamoy pickles
Pickles are popular. There’s an entire TikTok channel with over 146 thousand followers devoted solely to pickled products. However, even more popular is something called a Chamoy Pickle Kit. A quick search on TikTok revealed the hashtag “chamoypickle” has over 240 million views.
Unfortunately, like every trend on TikTok, it exploded so fast that it obliterated inventory. It is not impossible to find these kits, but since demand is so fierce, we’ve seen them priced at $30 for a single pickle. If you and the family want to get in on the trend for under $100, your best bet is to make this tantalizingly flavorful treat yourself.
In this article: Van Holten’s Jumbo Dill Pickle-In-A-Pouch, El Chilerito Chamoy Sauce and Tajin Clasico Chile Lime Seasoning
What is chamoy sauce?
Chamoy sauce is a Mexican condiment believed to have been derived from umeboshi, which is pickled ume fruit with a salty, sour flavor. Chamoy sauce has a fiery red to brownish color and is made from dehydrated fruit, such as apricots, mangos or plums. It is flavored with salt, sugar, chili powder and citrus juice to create a fiesta of flavors in every bite.
Chamoy can be made at home or purchased. Depending on your preference, the texture may range from a sauce that you can drizzle on your favorite fruit to a thicker paste. When used on sweets, it is typically in powdered form.
What does chamoy sauce taste like?
Chamoy sauce has many flavor notes similar to a sweet and sour sauce, only more pronounced and more robust. Your first mouthful may be a little confusing because it can initially overwhelm your tongue with its barrage of sweet, sour, tart, salty and spicy flavors. However, once you get over your initial surprise, the flourish of flavor can be quite rewarding. This makes chamoy sauce highly versatile because it has elements that pair well with various foods.
Chamoy vs. Tajin
Because of its color, taste, packaging and other factors, Tajin can be confused with chamoy. However, the two are not the same at all. While both have a range of flavors, Chamoy is a fruit-based sauce and Tajin is a spice made with salt, chili powder and dehydrated lime. Tajin can be added to chamoy to intensify the flavor. Also, it is important to note that chamoy is a food, while Tajin is a brand name.
How to make your own chamoy sauce
Chamoy sauce is a balance of a full palette of flavors. It is made with only a few ingredients, and the recipe can (and should) be tweaked to satisfy your taste expectations since success is all about ratios.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup dried apricots (mangoes or peaches can work here, too)
1/2 cup plums
1/2 cup dried hibiscus flowers
3 cups water
6 tablespoons of Tajin
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1. In an appropriately sized saucepan, bring all the ingredients, except for the lime juice, to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
2. Add all the ingredients, including the lime juice, to a blender and blend to a paste. At this point, you can add a little more water to thin the consistency if desired.
3. When finished, add the chamoy to a glass jar and store it in the refrigerator. It should stay fresh for one to two months.
What else is in a Chamoy Pickle Kit?
While the chamoy sauce is what gives a chamoy pickle kit its name. This treat is all about customization. The best kits have additional chamoy sauces that come in tiny bottles, so you can add as you desire. Some have seasonings, such as Tajin or pica limon powder, that elevate the spicy aspect. Candy is essential. The best kits feature something chewy and sweet (and often sour, as well) to complete the experience. All of these additional elements combine to create that delightful assault of flavor on your tongue.

'It comes and goes': Over-the-counter children’s medicine getting harder to find
Southwestern Ontario parents looking to lower their child’s fever or relieve their headache are having trouble finding over-the-counter children’s medicine on pharmacy shelves.
One Essex County pharmacist said there’s been sparse supply of things like liquid Tylenol or Advil in the region, noting it’s been a growing concern for weeks.
“We've had shortages probably for the last several months,” said Tim Brady, owner of Brady’s Drug Store in Essex, Belle River and Tilbury. “It comes and goes.”
Brady said pandemic supply chain issues appear to be the cause of the limited quantity, suggesting some retail pharmacies may have an adequate supply of over-the-counter medications while other pharmacies may not.
“We’re trying to tell people don't go and buy eight bottles, but you should maybe take a look to see if you have some around,” Brady continued. “It's not a dire situation. It's not like the toilet paper shortage.”
Earlier this week Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) warned parents that they may need a prescription for over-the-counter fever and pain medication due to the shortage at some pharmacies.
“Most pharmacies are still going to have it,” Brady said. “We'll use it in bottles behind the counter which we have bulk bottles that we fill prescriptions with. So if you really, really need some you can always ask the pharmacy. They might be able to get you some poured out of that bottle.”
Meantime, a University of Windsor researcher studying Canada’s healthcare supply chain after the COVID-19 pandemic told CTV News this latest shortage in paediatric medication is no surprise.
“Drug shortages and shortages of any health products have increased probably 200 per cent in the last year to 18 months,” said Anne Snowdon. “It is a chronic challenge of making sure products are where they need to be for people who are ill and need those products to manage those illnesses.”
Snowdon explained pharmacies are often viewed as the canary in the birdcage in health care, while calling for a renewed focus on improving digital infrastructure between providers.
“Wouldn't it be better with a digital infrastructure that can help possibly proactively identify that risk and help pharmacies make sure they have the products people need and have health systems understand how can we keep people healthy and safe?”
“We haven't solved this challenge. And the challenge seems to be getting more prevalent, not less. We have very little if any ability for consumers to identify their particular health needs. We wait for them to show up and hopefully have the product for them.”
Snowdon added, “when those products become rapidly short, shelves are empty, it’ll often tell health systems we may have a problem.”

San Diego, California--(Newsfile Corp. - April 25, 2022) - Shareholder rights law firm Johnson Fistel, LLP announces that it has filed a class-action lawsuit on behalf of all those who purchased IronNet, Inc. ("IronNet " or the "Company") IRNT securities during the period between September 15, 2021 and December 15, 2021, inclusive (the "Class"). The action was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia (Alexandria Division) and is captioned Grad v. IronNet, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 1:22-cv-00449.
HOW TO JOIN: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act permits any investor who is a member of the Class described above to seek appointment as lead plaintiff. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the litigation. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.
If you wish to seek appointment as lead plaintiff, please contact Johnson Fistel, LLP to submit your losses:
- Contact Lead Securities Analyst Jim Baker at jimb@johnsonfistel.com or (619) 814-4471

Lead plaintiff motions for the IronNet class-action lawsuit must be filed with the court no later than June 21, 2022.
CASE ALLEGATIONS: On August 27, 2021, IronNet became a publicly-traded company via a merger with LGL Systems Acquisition Corp. ("LGL"), a blank check company otherwise known as a special purpose acquisition vehicle ("SPAC"). Like other SPACs, LGL did not initially have any operations or business of its own. Rather, it raised money from investors in an initial public offering and then later used the proceeds from the offering to acquire IronNet, which had been a private company.
The complaint charges IronNet, its Co-Chief Executive Officers, and its Chief Financial Officer with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. According to the complaint, the defendants made materially false and misleading statements and failed to disclose known adverse facts about IronNet's business, operations, and prospects, including that: (i) the Company had materially overstated its business and financial prospects; (ii) the Company was unable to predict the timing of significant customer opportunities which constituted a substantial portion of its publicly-issued FY 2022 financial guidance; (iii) the Company had not established effective disclosure controls and procedures to reasonably ensure its public disclosures were timely, accurate, complete, and not otherwise misleading; and (iv) as a result, the Company's public statements were materially false, misleading, and/or lacked any reasonable basis in fact at all relevant times.

Legendary New England Patriots head coach and defensive guru Bill Belichick may have started calling some plays on offense in what has been a rough training camp.
The Patriots are in a transition period that many NFL teams go through every few years. After being one of the most respected offensive minds in the league over the last decade, offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels found a head coaching position he wanted and decided to take his talents to the left coast to lead the Las Vegas Raiders.
However, instead of going through an exhaustive search to find an experienced coach to fill the shoes of McDaniels, Belichick and the Patriots chose a very abstract approach to addressing the position. Joe Judge and Matt Patricia are back in New England after failed head coaching tenures in New York and Detroit, respectively, and the pair have been given unique roles on the coaching staff in 2022.
Related: New England Patriots schedule: Preseason continues against Panthers on Aug. 19
Patricia’s new title is senior football advisor/offensive line coach, while Judge is currently the offensive assistant/quarterbacks coach. Neither man has extensive experience on offense or in play calling at a professional level. Yet both were the favorites to call the plays on offense entering 2022 training camp.
Opposing team thinks Bill Belichick calling some plays for New England Patriots offense
Unfortunately for the Patriots, after a strong showing in spring voluntary workouts, starting quarterback Mac Jones and the first-team offense have been pretty bad in camp and have not been getting better. It seems that with word continuing to spread about the new offense’s poor production and chemistry, the 70-year-old head coach may have taken it upon himself to improve the offense’s performance.
On Wednesday, Patriots beat writer Phil Perry tweeted about the sad showing during 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills. But in a follow-up, he revealed an exchange about what people in the Carolina Panthers organization told NBC Sports Boston NFL insider Albert Breer about the Patriots’ offense during their shared practice.
This certainly seems like an instance of “if you want something done right you’ve got to do it yourself.” However, Belichick is one of the greatest coaches in NFL history because of his genius mind when it comes to defense, not offense. His inventiveness as an offensive play caller is completely unproven.
Nevertheless, between him, Patricia, and Judge, he is still probably the best option to call the offensive plays. Belichick certainly has the knowledge about what makes offenses run well and what short circuits them. The eight-time Super Bowl champion is the coach that is most likely to make a smoother transition from defense to offense because of that absurd knowledge of the game on both sides that dates back to the early 1980s. | https://sportsnaut.com/new-england-patriots-bill-belichick-calling-plays/ | 2022-08-17T22:57:46Z | https://sportsnaut.com/new-england-patriots-bill-belichick-calling-plays/ | true | 1 |

Corky Kell Classic underway at Johns Creek high school
ATLANTA, Ga. (CBS46) - The Corky Kell Classic is underway at Johns Creek high school Wednesday evening.
The Cherokee Bluff high school football team took the field to a large string of cheers on the visitors side bench.
The Corky Kell Luncheon held on Aug. 8 celebrated the return of high school football at the Atlanta Marriott Northwest. Attendees of the annual kickoff luncheon geared up for the historic 31st annual classic that features an 11-game lineup.
The Gladiators began the game with the football, taking a kickoff that began a little shaky for a nearly 80 yard return.
A few plays later, the Gladiators’ offense sputtered in the red zone and weren’t able to capitalize on prime scoring position. A blocked field goal from the 10 yard line gave Cherokee Bluff the ball back one play later.
As Cherokee Bluff began to chew up yards with a mix of runs and passes, the Gladiators defense punched the ball lose, recovered the fumble and marched it into the end zone for the touchdown.
The Gladiators now lead 7-0 midway through the first quarter.
The Cherokee Bluff football team added a field goal late in the first quarter. The Gladiators pulled off another impressive return on special teams in what looked like from 50 yards.
A few plays later, senior receiver TJ Murray scored a touchdown to give the Gladiators a 14-3 lead.
On the ensuing kickoff, Cherokee Bluff fumbled and the Gladiators recovered near the 30 yard line.

Kid Cudi is getting real about his falling out with fellow rapper and former close friend, Kanye "Ye" West. In an interview for Esquire's new September issue, the 38-year-old gives fans an intimate look at where he’s at in his life, both personally and artistically, including addressing the demise of his once-friendly relationship with West.
Cudi and West had a public falling out over Cudi's friendship with Saturday Night Live alum Pete Davidson -- who famously dated West's ex-wife, Kim Kardashian. News broke on Aug. 5 that Davidson and Kardashian had called it quits after nine months of dating.
Earlier this year, West shared a since-deleted post featuring him, Cudi, Davidson and Timothée Chalamet having dinner. On the picture from the dinner, West put a big red ex over Davidson’s face.
"I JUST WANTED MY FRIEND TO HAVE MY BACK," West wrote next to the since-deleted post. "THE KNIFE JUST GOES IN DEEPER."
West also shared that Cudi would not be on his Donda 2 album after he appeared to continue his friendship with Davidson.
Cudi took to the comments to defend himself, writing, "too bad I don’t want to be on your album you fu**n dinosaur hahaha," adding, "everyone knows I've been the best thing about your albums since I met you. Ima pray you 4 brother."
Speaking with writer Clover Hope for Esquire, Cudi says it would take "a motherf**king miracle" for him and West to rekindle their friendship. In fact, the Entergalacticstar doesn't see it happening, noting that West would have to "become a monk" for any resolution to be possible.
"I'm not one of your kids," Cudi says of the father of four. "I'm not Kim. It don't matter if I'm friends with Pete or not friends with Pete. None of this sh*t had anything to do with me. If you can't be a grown man and deal with the fact that you lost your woman? That's not my f**king problem."
"You need to own up to your sh*t like every man in this life has. I’ve lost women, too. And I’ve had to own up to it," Cudi adds. "I don’t need that in my life. I don’t need it.
On the other side of a years-long journey with his mental health that includes time spent in rehab back in 2016, Cudi says he has "zero tolerance for the wrong energies." With West specifically, he shares that he's seen people get repeatedly "burned by him doing some f**ked-up sh*t" only to quickly forgive him.
"And there’s no repercussions. You’re back cool with this man. He does it over and over," he notes.
Cudi also pushes back against the narrative that West "made" his career. While it was "really f**king awesome" to be enlisted for West's 808s & Heartbreak, Cudi says the rapper "did not come and pluck me out of Applebee's or the Bape store." Cudi asserts that his success is due to his own work, along with his original team of producers, Patrick "Plain Pat" Reynolds, Oladipo Omishore (aka Dot Da Genius) and Emile Haynie.
As for reconciliation with West, Cudi is firm that he means what he's said.
"With all due respect, I'm not Drake, who's about to take a picture with him next week and be friends again, and their beef is squashed. That's not me," Cudi says.
Meanwhile, the rapper's long-awaited Entergalactic animated series is set to premiere on Netflix next month. In the animated story, Cudi voices the main character, Jabari, and is joined in the voice cast by Jessica Williams, Timothée Chalamet, and more. The project has been in the works for three years and includes a new album, which will be released simultaneously.
Back in January, Cudi touted the dual release as "the greatest piece of art" he’s ever made.
"I am so sooo f**kin proud of this show. U have no idea what ur in for. 3 years in the making," Cudi wrote amid a series of tweets praising the series.
"The voice acting was the most fun...the music too but I've always wanted to do more voice acting and idk it was like another dream come true foreal," he wrote in response to a fan asking him to name his favorite part of the three-year journey.
Entergalactic premieres Sept. 30 on Netflix.

PHOENIX (AP) — A Missouri man has been indicted for leaving a threatening message on the personal cellphone of the top election official in Arizona's most populous county, federal officials said.
The case is the second filed in the past month against people accused of threatening top election officials in the battleground state. In late July, a Massachusetts man was charged with threatening to blow up Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs following the 2020 election that saw former President Donald Trump lose in the state. Hobbs is a Democrat now running for governor.
The U.S. Department of Justice announced the indictment against Walter Lee Hoornstra, 50, of Tecumseh, on Wednesday. He faces up to five years in federal prison on a charge of making a threatening interstate communication and up to two years in prison for making a threatening telephone call.
Hoornstra is accused of threatening Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer on May 19, 2021. Richer is a Republican who won his seat during the 2020 election and has vigorously defended the county's election practices and security.
Former President Donald Trump has focused anger over his 2020 loss in Arizona on Maricopa County, and the Republican-controlled state Senate did a much-criticized “forensic audit” of the county's results last year. The review found no proof of any major issues with the election and a hand-count of ballots confirmed Democratic President Joe Biden's victory.
Election officials in Arizona and other battleground states have been subjected to threats and intimidation by some Trump supporters since he lost the election.
Richer did not immediately return messages seeking comment, But in a lengthy statement on Twitter, he thanked the FBI, Justice Department and local law enforcement for going after people who threaten him and county election workers.
“Unfortunately, I have PLENTY more to keep them busy,” Richer wrote. “A nd, even worse, so too do some of the non-public facing members of (the recorders and elections office).”
Richer also said he worried that threats like the one he received are becoming more common and he worried about the effects on public officials from from U.S. Supreme Court justices to federal judges, prosecutors, FBI agents and others.
“And yet, violent threats and actions continue to be normalized, or at least swept under the rug, by many “leaders” in society,” Richer wrote. “Anyone who says “oh, but it was just a few of them” or “oh, but they’re normally good people” is contributing to this chilling effect and mob mentality.”
Public court records in Hoornstra's case that would include a defense attorney who could comment are not yet available. The Justice Department did not disclose if he has been arrested and did not immediately respond to messages.
In late July, the FBI arrested James W. Clark, 38, of Falmouth, Mass., on a three-count indictment that charges him with threatening to explode a bomb in Democratic Secretary of State Katie Hobbs’ “personal space” if she did not resign.
Clark had an initial appearance in Phoenix federal court on Wednesday where his attorney entered a not guilty plea. The attorney said in a court filing that Clark is indigent and staying in a sober living home in Boston. Assistant Federal Public Defender Jeanette Alvarado did not immediately respond to message seeking comment on Wednesday.
During the hearing, proceedings magistrate Judge John Z. Boyle maintained Clark's original release conditions and added one, that he not possess firearms or other deadly weapons or explosives. He remains free without bail.
Clark faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted of making the bomb threat and five years on each of the other charges, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
Attorney General Merrick Garland formed an Election Threats Task Force in June 2021 to focus on threats of violence against elected election officials, workers and and volunteers to ensure they are able to oversee elections free of harassment. The cases against Clark and Hoornstra are part of that effort. | https://www.ncadvertiser.com/news/article/Missouri-man-charged-with-threatening-election-17380596.php | 2022-08-17T23:22:37Z | https://www.ncadvertiser.com/news/article/Missouri-man-charged-with-threatening-election-17380596.php | false | 18 |

After the loss of nearly all of his sight seven years ago, Scott Laird found purpose and satisfaction in continuing to fish for salmon in his Tyee rowboat — the same rowboat that served him for 33 years as a salmon guide and angler.
But that purpose and satisfaction was taken away from him Sunday, Aug. 7 when somebody stole it from the Campbell River fisherman’s wharf.
“I’m devastated,” Laird said. “Like, I get up in the morning at three and I think about what the implications of this are for me.”
Laird was a fishing guide for 40 years in the internationally renowned waters off the Tyee Spit in Campbell River. He has owned the classic Tyee-style rowboat for 33 years. These boats were designed for fishing the Tyee Pool and are based on the classic Painter rowboats that have been associated with this traditional fishery.
“But I have this condition that came on like that. And I lost it (vision) all in that eye and I got about 20 per cent, 25 per cent in this eye,” Laird said. “So I’m able to read under certain circumstances, I can even row the boat close to shore.”
Rowboat fishing for Tyee salmon is a longstanding tradition in Campbell River. Traditional tackle is used in a human-powered boat and catching a Chinook bigger than 30 pounds (a Tyee) qualifies you for membership in the Tyee Club.
Laird condition means he can’t fish the Tyee Pool any more because it would be too dangerous with the number of other boats. He can, however, fish close to shore near where his boat is docked.
“The government dock is where I do all my fishing. Because nobody else fishes there…I can see the shore and I know enough about it. I have done it so much that I can be effective,” Laird said.
“I can row that boat. I got all the tackle. And I could take you out there, you’d have a decent chance of hooking a 20-plus pound Campbell (River) Chinook, because they’re along the whole shoreline.”
But that has all come to an end with the theft of his boat.
Laird is asking everyone to help him retrieve his boat. He’s sure it could still be somewhere in the area. They have digital surveillance images of the actual theft and hope to be able to identify the suspect. The images are in the hands of the RCMP. But in the meantime, he would like to get the boat — which had hoped to leave to his grandchildren — back, if possible.
It’s a 1989, 14-foot fibreglass hull Tyee rowboat called “Strikes 90” made by Whitehall Boats in Victoria. It has a classic 7.5 h.p. Evinrude outboard on its transom. It retails for about new for about $20,000 plus the cost of the motor and oars.
“That’s my fishing lifestyle now. And I don’t want to give it up. I won’t be buying another boat, you know. I’m 75, I can barely manage this one,” Laird said.
If you see the boat, contact Campbell River Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). The file number is 2022-10262. Or call Laird at 250-287-3706. | https://www.100milefreepress.net/news/stolen-rowboat-robs-legally-blind-b-c-fisherman-of-last-chance-to-enjoy-his-passion/ | 2022-08-17T23:26:41Z | https://www.100milefreepress.net/news/stolen-rowboat-robs-legally-blind-b-c-fisherman-of-last-chance-to-enjoy-his-passion/ | true | 20 |

CHENNAI: The Central Crime Branch (CCB) on Tuesday arrested a 34-year-old man in Mumbai for his alleged links to the Rs 50 crore container scam. Police said he is the mastermind and have seized his luxury car.
The man, identified as G Pon Ravi, was caught by immigration officers at Mumbai airport and later handed over to the CCB. Police said he was trying to flee the country. So far, 10 people have been arrested in the case, including Ravi's brothers Pon Raj and Pon Raghu.
Two cars, 188 sovereigns of gold, several laptops, 15 SIM cards, 51 fake company seals and ₹58 lakh in cash were seized. A CCB release claimed the accused was operating several fake companies.
Under the guise of exporting commodities, these fake companies approached legitimate freight forwarding firms and made deals. They would convince companies that they could rent containers for cheap rates and would borrow several crores for rental charges by promising to pay it back within 30 days.
A few years ago, a company based in Guindy, Chennai, lodged a police complaint detailing the fraud after which a probe was launched. Pon Ravi was remanded in judicial custody on Monday.

Cubs' farm system strides show in new rankings originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago
It’s no secret the Cubs have bolstered their farm system, heavily increasing its depth via trades and the draft over the last 20 months.
And if you’re looking to see the extent of that depth and volume, look no further than the latest Cubs farm system ranking from one industry evaluator.
MLB Pipeline released its updated top 30 Cubs prospect list, which highlights the young talent the Cubs have accumulated dating back to the December 2020 Yu Darvish trade.
Of the top 15 prospects listed, the Cubs drafted, signed or acquired 13 in that span — some of course during last summer’s trade deadline selloff as they began their second rebuild since Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer took over the front office a decade ago.
Outfielders Pete Crow-Armstrong, Brennen Davis and Kevin Alcantara and pitchers Cade Horton and Jordan Wicks make up the top 5. Crow-Armstrong (31), Davis (51) and Alcantara (91) are the three Cubs in Pipeline’s overall top 100 prospects list.

RELATED: Crow-Armstrong knows all about The Show business
Shortstop Cristian Hernandez, pitchers Ben Brown and Jackson Ferris, and outfielders Alexander Canario and Owen Caissie round out the top 10.
Canario, who came over with Caleb Kilian in the Kris Bryant trade last summer, has hit 29 home runs between High-A and Double-A this season. The Cubs named him their minor league player of the month for July.
“I think the depth, that’s probably the thing we're most proud of right now,” Hoyer said. “Right now, I don't think we have anyone sort of in that top 25 grouping.
“But I think the depth really does stand out.”
Including on the pitching side, where the Cubs have added a ton of promising names to the system lately.
Of their top seven pitching prospects, according to Pipeline, only DJ Herz (No. 13) was in the organization before 2021.
4. Horton (2022 first-round pick)
5. Wicks (2021 first-round pick)
7. Ben Brown (acquired from Phillies for David Robertson)
8. Jackson Ferris (2022 second-round pick)
12. Hayden Wesneski (acquired from Yankees for Scott Effross)
14. Caleb Kilian (acquired from Giants for Kris Bryant)

Even behind those guys, among others, are pitchers Porter Hodge (No. 22), Luis Devers (No. 26) and Luke Little (No. 27), all of whom have impressed between High-A and Double-A this season.
“I think that's the goal — it has been the goal — is to really add as much pitching as we possibly can,” Hoyer said. “Obviously, we think we have really good player development with pitching now. But also, through volume sometimes is how you need to develop pitching.
“I feel like when you look at every level, from having guys up here like Keegan [Thompson] and [Justin] Steele, and then you look at every level, we have two or three guys that I think are really good prospects from a pitching standpoint.
“We need to keep doing that over and over and over. I look back on when we built up the first time and we had position players lined up like that in a lot of ways, but we never get to the point of having pitchers lined up at every level."
Other familiar names in the top 30 include Miguel Amaya (No. 16), Ed Howard (20) and Matt Mervis (21).
Amaya recently made his season debut in Double-A Tennessee following offseason Tommy John surgery. Howard is out for the season following a hip injury.
Mervis, an undrafted free agent signing following the five-round 2020 draft, recently reached Triple-A after starting the season in High-A. He’s hitting a combined .303/.364/.585 with 24 homers and 94 RBIs.
Along with Horton and Ferris, 2022 draft picks Nazier Mulé (23) and Christopher Paciolla (24) are included in Pipeline’s top 30.

Prospect lists are subjective and not a tell-all, but the depth is there. What's next is developing it as the Cubs look to construct their "next great Cubs team."
“I think through that depth, our hope is certainly that we’ll churn out a lot of big leaguers that will impact here,” Hoyer said. “And I feel really good that our eggs aren't just in a couple baskets.
“We’re not a one- or two- or three-player farm system. I think we're really deep, and I think that stands out.” | https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/cubs-farm-system-depth-pitching-volume-show-in-new-rankings/2917583/ | 2022-08-17T23:38:17Z | https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/cubs-farm-system-depth-pitching-volume-show-in-new-rankings/2917583/ | true | 1 |
The company's frictionless online factoring platform offers same-day invoice factoring to trucking owner-operators, fleets and freight brokers across the U.S.
CLEVELAND, Aug. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Transcap, a fast-growing freight factoring and alternative lending brand, has brought together America's top factoring experts to launch a fast, convenient invoice factoring solution designed to support trucking owner-operators, fleets and freight brokers across the nation. Unlike other factoring providers, Transcap delivers same-day funding with no hidden fees, volume requirements, strict credit restrictions or long-term commitments.
Often operating under tight margins and slow payment terms, many carriers face cash flow constraints. They typically wait 45, 60 or even 90 days for paid invoices, making it extremely difficult to cover fuel, vehicle maintenance, insurance, taxes and unexpected costs. Transcap helps overcome these challenges by simplifying and accelerating access to working capital.
"There's tremendous demand and growth potential for the entire industry, but small to mid-size owner-operators can't survive without consistent, reliable cash flow," says Craig Cohen, President of Transcap. "That's why we provide a factoring solution that gets them the money they need quickly, so they can stay on the road and remain competitive."
After completing a simple, 60-second application on Transcap.com, trucking companies of all sizes can receive factoring approval within 24 hours or less. Once approved, carriers upload or email invoices for immediate cash from anywhere on the road. For new clients, Transcap waives fees for the first invoice. Clients who refer other trucking carriers or brokers receive a $500 referral bonus when they sign up.
Additional client perks include fuel savings cards and discounts on tires, maintenance, insurance and more through the Transcap preferred partner network.
"Whether you're an owner-operator or managing an entire fleet, trucking is a tough business," says Cohen. "We make it our mission to remove as many roadblocks as possible and make their lives easier."
Transcap was launched by a group of industry-leading factoring experts, including Joel Adelman, the Founder and former CEO of Advance Partners. The Transcap team has lent over $20 billion to entrepreneurs nationwide in previous roles and plans to do the same for trucking businesses of all sizes.

– Words by Sean McIntyre Photography by Don Denton and Lia Crowe
Tucked discreetly between a “romance boutique” and an auto parts store in an unassuming strip mall near
downtown Duncan isn’t where you’d expect to find a rising star in the Canadian art world, and Maynard Johnny Jr. is totally cool with that.
Besides, the rent is cheap and it’s close to home.
Maynard has been working out of his 500-square-foot space since he moved back to the Cowichan Valley from Vancouver at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic to be closer to family and friends.
It’s easy to miss the new digs. There’s no sign out front and the only art on the walls are the marker-and-crayon-on-looseleaf works created by Maynard’s grandchildren. Maynard sits at a table, casually sketching designs on postcard-sized sheets of card stock, while his assistant Ruth, seated in the window overlooking the mall’s asphalt parking lot, calmly blocks in colours of a giant dorsal fin on a three-foot-wide canvas stretched to form a massive drum. The only other furnishings are a sofa and a kiddy table with a pair of tiny chairs, presumably used by the budding young artists who decorated Maynard’s walls.
Most of the artist’s work begins right here at the drawing table in his workshop, where he sketches out ideas that give shape to pieces inspired by Coast Salish tradition blended with a wide swathe of contemporary colours. The little sketches he’s making for a client now, for example, will eventually morph into a 36-by-48-inch canvas. While he’s drawing, thoughts about proportions, contrasting colours and the interplay of negative space come alive on paper.
Maynard can trace his interest in art back to the sketches he made when he was five or six years old. He recalls drawing portraits of his family, and then expanding into a wider range of comic-book-style illustrations. Maynard excelled at art during his middle and high school years, but loathed painting until his art teacher gave him an assignment in Grade 11, asking him to draw inspiration from his Indigenous heritage.
“I gave it a shot thinking it was going to be easy, but it was actually really hard. I stuck with it and it eventually became something I had a passion for,” he says. “I wasn’t great at academics, but I’d always been good at sports and art; I realized that I had a better chance of becoming an artist than a professional soccer player.”
It wasn’t long afterwards that Maynard found himself living the life of a young, up-and-coming artist, honing his skills and developing a unique style. There were challenges and moments of doubt, but Maynard always found the motivation and courage to keep painting. At one point, back in 1999, he was ready to call it quits when the late Robin Williams bought one of his paintings. That moment remains a turning point in his career.
“I don’t know why it was important that someone like Robin Williams liked my work, a lot of people like my work, but for some reason I felt like I was doing the right thing when he bought my piece,” Maynard says.
His decision to stick with it turned out to be a wise one.
After spending four years in Vancouver, where he says he took his career to the next level, Maynard’s recent return to Vancouver Island has coincided with a meteoric rise in his profile. In 2021, BC Ferries commissioned Maynard to create the art that adorns the company’s newly launched Salish Heron. Earlier this year, the Pacific FC soccer club asked Maynard to design a jersey for use as the team’s alternate kit (see story below).
And while the added attention hasn’t necessarily made his work any more popular—it was already in high demand—it’s made him a more recognizable presence on the West Coast art scene.
“I knew a lot of people before I moved away, but now a lot of people know me,” he says. “It’s weird because people will come up to me and say: ‘Hey, how’s it going? You’re on the BC Ferries.’ And I might not know who that was.
“I’d established myself as an artist already, so I didn’t really need the exposure, but the publicity side of it was amazing. People always knew I was as an artist, but they didn’t know what I looked like.”
Such high-exposure projects are about so much more than raising his profile, Maynard says. He hopes to encourage Canadian corporations to take on a more active role in the truth and reconciliation process. Through seeing his work on the soccer pitch or sailing through the Gulf Islands on the Salish Heron, Maynard says, he hopes non-Indigenous Canadians will reflect and make an effort to learn about the mistreatment of Canada’s Indigenous population.
Talk of truth and reconciliation needs to be about more than mere words and token actions for Maynard, whose parents and grandparents were forcibly separated from their family to attend residential schools. Reckoning with what has transpired in Indigenous communities across Canada since the arrival of European settlers requires openness, humility, curiosity and introspection. Most importantly, he adds, it begins with acknowledging the continued presence of the distinctive cultural communities that have called territories across the continent home for more than 10,000 years.
“You can’t deny the facts, and you have to look at them,” he says. “You have to acknowledge and accept that Canada was a deep, dark and messed up place for Indigenous people, and if you can’t, we’re not going to be able to move forward in any way.”

LAGRANGE, Ga. (AP) — A man was arrested Wednesday for three separate shootings that took place earlier in the day along Interstate 85 in Alabama and Georgia.
Jerel Raphael Brown,39, of Montgomery, Alabama, was arrested in LaFayette, Alabama, after shootings were reported in Montgomery and Auburn in Alabama and near Hogansville, Georgia, according to sheriff's deputies in Troup County, Georgia.
Officials had asked people to look for a 1996 white Cadillac Fleetwood after three shootings were reported. In the Auburn shooting, a 45-year-old Prattville, Alabama, man was seriously wounded by a gunshot that officials said appeared to enter from the rear of the man's vehicle. He was taken by helicopter to a Montgomery hospital.
Interstate 85 in Auburn was closed for hours while police investigated.
No one was injured in the Georgia shooting. No details on the Montgomery shooting were immediately released.
Brown is charged in Georgia with aggravated assault, possessing a gun while committing a felony and first-degree criminal damage.
Troup County deputies said they identified the suspect vehicle using a traffic camera, allowing information about the car to be broadcast and leading to a Chambers County, Alabama, sheriff's deputy pulling Brown over and arresting him. Brown was later handed over to Auburn police.
Officials did not immediately identify a motive in the shootings. Auburn police told The Associated Press that Brown remained in custody Wednesday but had not yet been charged there.
Troup County Sheriff’s spokesperson Sgt. Stewart Smith said investigators can’t say at this time why Brown would have been shooting at motorists. He said that while Troup County has filed charges, he expected Brown would be jailed in Alabama and would be prosecuted first in that state. | https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4629897 | 2022-08-17T23:43:00Z | https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4629897 | false | 45 |

Pune, April 25, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Polymer bearings have created a name for themselves in a crowded bearing market by providing a number of benefits. As a result, polymers such as PTFE, PEEK, POM, and Nylons are now being used in places where once steel and phosphor bronze were used. Polymer bearings are machine components that include at least one polymer rubbing part. Polymer bearings are appealing because they can survive extreme situations where conventional bearings would fail. Steel is 80% heavier than polymeric materials. As a result, polymer-based bearings require less energy to move and are less prone to lose energy due to friction.
Polymer bearings become practically silent when lubricated and may absorb shock loads better than metal bearings. Metallic bearings are often preferred in applications with high loads and perhaps high temperatures. Although most polymers cannot withstand huge weights or work at high temperatures, some polymers, such as PEEK and Polyimide, can withstand enormous loads and operate at 300°C or more temperatures. These polymers are only used in a few industries, such as aerospace and medical, where cost is not a major factor.

The two-door Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Concept was unveiled today at M1 Concourse in Pontiac, Michigan, during the third day of the three-day Dodge Speed Week event series, which featured announcements and reveals of Dodge performance products.
The Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Concept muscles aside the boring BEV paradigm and replaces it with an electrified vehicle unlike any on the road today. A new propulsion system drives the Charger Daytona SRT Concept with performance that exceeds the Dodge brand's famed SRT Hellcat engine, accompanied by an industry-first BEV exhaust sound.
The concept's modern exterior styling incorporates subtle Dodge heritage cues while also exceeding aerodynamic targets. Interior design elements connect to create a driver-centric, immersive experience through sounds, displays and lighting features that change inside and out at the push of a button.
Core to the Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Concept are three game-changing, patent-pending features that will rewrite the rules of the BEV segment:
- R-Wing: A unique aerodynamic pass-through design feature that connects the concept with its iconic Dodge Daytona namesake
- Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust: Industry-first BEV exhaust, can reach 126 dB, making it as loud as a Hellcat-powered Dodge
- eRupt: Multi-speed transmission with an electro-mechanical shifting experience that's pure Dodge
"The Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Concept exists because performance made us do it," said Tim Kuniskis, Dodge brand chief executive officer – Stellantis. "Dodge is about muscle, attitude and performance, and the brand carries that chip on its shoulder and into the BEV segment through a concept loaded with patents, innovations, and performance features that embody the electrified muscle of tomorrow. The Charger Daytona SRT Concept can do more than run the car show circuit; it can run a blazing quarter-mile. And when it comes to product cycles, it outruns Darwin. Charger Daytona does more than define where Dodge is headed, it will redefine American muscle in the process.
"One day ago, the brand's first-ever electrified performance vehicle was unveiled, the all-new 2023 Dodge Hornet. Today, we revealed a peek at our eMuscle future with the Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Concept. When we said it was going to be an electric summer for Dodge, we meant it."

America and Pachuca square off tonight (7:05 PM PT/9:05 PM CT/10:05 PM ET) as both teams come off dominant wins last week. Pachuca have been very solid at home, considering they have not lost a game on home turf all season. America had a rough start to the season, but are now starting to pick up steam.
America come off a dominant performance in the Clasico Capitalino where they handed Pumas a 3 - 0 loss. Pumas came into the match knowing they had to win in order to put the embarrassing 6 - 0 loss they suffered against Barcelona behind them. That was not the case and America easily took the win and three points as they are starting to turn the season around.
The last time Pachuca played was 10 days ago against Tigres back at home. Their away game against Juarez was postponed for a later date, which has not been announced, due to the violence that erupted in the city. In their game against Tigres, Pachuca took control of it as Tigres were down to 10 players within 12 minutes. Pachuca went on to beat the visitors 2 - 0. The extra rest days can be an advantage for Pachuca seeing as it is a double matchday week and they play Leon on Saturday.
With the win against Pumas, America now sit in ninth place and in playoff contention compared to the beginning of the season where they were constantly at the bottom. Their worst placement was 17th, right above Queretaro who have yet to win a single game this season. Pachuca currently sit in fourth place with only two points separating the two teams.
America know they have to defeat Pachuca if they want to continue the momentum they have. It will be a hard task considering Pachuca have only allowed four goals this season; only one of them at home, making them the best defense in the league. The last time these two faced each other was in the semi-finals of the Clausura 2022. Pachuca defeated America on aggregate 4 - 1. The first leg was a 1 - 1 draw with the game going either way, but Pachuca took control in the second leg. After an incredible turnaround last season, America’s hopes of making it to the finals were crushed on the road. Now America return to Estadio Hidalgo with hopes of a different result and becoming the first team to hand Pachuca a loss at home this season. | https://www.fmfstateofmind.com/2022/8/17/23308941/america-faces-a-tough-pachuca-side-who-have-yet-to-lose-at-home-liga-mx | 2022-08-18T00:02:35Z | https://www.fmfstateofmind.com/2022/8/17/23308941/america-faces-a-tough-pachuca-side-who-have-yet-to-lose-at-home-liga-mx | false | 1 |

Authorities investigating human remains at Lake Mead; 5th such discovery this year
LAS VEGAS (KVVU/Gray News) - Authorities are investigating reports of human remains found at Lake Mead earlier this week.
Officials with the Lake Mead National Recreation Area said they are investigating the discovery of skeletal remains found at about 8 p.m. on Monday at Swim Beach.
According to KVVU, rangers set up a perimeter to recover the remains from the lake with help from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police dive team. The Clark County medical examiner was also contacted.
Authorities were reportedly called to the same area earlier this month to investigate another set of remains at Swim Beach.
Lake Mead officials have reported four different discoveries of remains found at the lake so far this year. The Clark County Coroner’s office said two of the partial sets might belong to the same person.
Lake Mead’s water level has plummeted due to recent drought conditions in the southwest.

CAHOKIA MOUNDS, Illinois: I am standing atop a 100-foot-high temple mound, the largest known earthwork in the Americas built by prehistoric peoples. The temperatures, in the high 80s, along with the oppressive humidity, have emptied the park of all but a handful of visitors. My shirt is matted with sweat.
I look out from the structure—known as Monks Mound — at the flatlands below, with smaller mounds dotting the distance. These earthen mounds, built at a confluence of the Illinois, Mississippi and Missouri rivers, are all that remain of one of the largest pre-Columbian settlements north of Mexico, occupied from around 800 to 1,400 AD by perhaps as many as 20,000 people.
This great city, perhaps the greatest in North America, rose, flourished, fell into decline and was ultimately abandoned. Civilizations die in familiar patterns. They exhaust natural resources. They spawn parasitic elites who plunder and loot the institutions and systems that make a complex society possible. They engage in futile and self-defeating wars. And then the rot sets in. The great urban centers die first, falling into irreversible decay. Central authority unravels. Artistic expression and intellectual inquiry are replaced by a new dark age, the triumph of tawdry spectacle and the celebration of crowd-pleasing imbecility.
“Collapse occurs, and can only occur, in a power vacuum,” anthropologist Joseph Tainter writes in The Collapse of Complex Societies. “Collapse is possible only where there is no competitor strong enough to fill the political vacuum of disintegration.”
Several centuries ago, the rulers of this vast city complex, which covered some 4,000 acres, including a 40-acre central plaza, stood where I stood. They no doubt saw below in the teeming settlements an unassailable power, with at least 120 temple mounds used as residences, sacred ceremonial sites, tombs, meeting centers and ball courts. Cahokia warriors dominated a vast territory from which they exacted tribute to enrich the ruling class of this highly stratified society. Reading the heavens, these mound builders constructed several circular astronomical observatories — wooden versions of Stonehenge.
The city’s hereditary rulers were venerated in life and death. A half mile from Monks Mound is the seven-foot-high Mound 72, in which archeologists found the remains of a man on a platform covered with 20,000 conch-shell disc beads from the Gulf of Mexico. The beads were arranged in the shape of a falcon, with the falcon’s head beneath and beside the man’s head. Its wings and tail were placed underneath the man’s arms and legs. Below this layer of shells was the body of another man, buried face downward. Around these two men were six more human remains, possibly retainers, who may have been put to death to accompany the entombed man in the afterlife. Nearby were buried the remains of 53 girls and women ranging in age from 15 to 30, laid out in rows in two layers separated by matting. They appeared to have been strangled to death.
The poet Paul Valéry noted, “a civilization has the same fragility as a life.”
Across the Mississippi River from Monks Mound, the city skyline of St. Louis is visible. It is hard not to see our own collapse in that of Cahokia. In 1950, St. Louis was the eighth-largest city in the United States, with a population of 856,796. Today, that number has fallen to below 300,000, a drop of some 65 percent. Major employers — Anheuser-Busch, McDonnell-Douglas, TWA, Southwestern Bell and Ralston Purina —have dramatically reduced their presence or left altogether. St. Louis is consistently ranked one of the most dangerous cities in the country. One in five people live in poverty. The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department has the highest rate of police killings per capita, of the 100 largest police departments in the nation, according to a 2021 report. Prisoners in the city’s squalid jails, where 47 people died in custody between 2009 and 2019, complain of water being shut off from their cells for hours and guards routinely pepper spraying inmates, including those on suicide watch. The city’s crumbling infrastructure, hundreds of gutted and abandoned buildings, empty factories, vacant warehouses and impoverished neighborhoods replicate the ruins of other post-industrial American cities, the classic signposts of a civilization in terminal decline.
“Just as in the past, countries that are environmentally stressed, overpopulated, or both, become at risk of getting politically stressed, and of their governments collapsing,” Jared Diamond argues in Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed. “When people are desperate, undernourished and without hope, they blame their governments, which they see as responsible for or unable to solve their problems. They try to emigrate at any cost. They fight each other over land. They kill each other. They start civil wars. They figure that they have nothing to lose, so they become terrorists, or they support or tolerate terrorism.”
Pre-industrial civilizations were dependent on the limits of solar energy and constrained by roads and waterways, impediments that were obliterated when fossil fuel became an energy source. As industrial empires became global, their increase in size meant an increase in complexity. Ironically, this complexity makes us more vulnerable to catastrophic collapse, not less. Soaring temperatures (Iraq is enduring 120 degree heat that has fried the country’s electrical grid), the depletion of natural resources, flooding, droughts, (the worst drought in 500 years is devastating Western, Central and Southern Europe and is expected to see a decline in crop yields of 8 or 9 percent), power outages, wars, pandemics, a rise in zoonotic diseases and breakdowns in supply chains combine to shake the foundations of industrial society. The Arctic has been heating up four times faster than the global average, resulting in an accelerated melting of the Greenland ice sheet and freakish weather patterns. The Barents Sea north of Norway and Russia are warming up to seven times faster. Climate scientists did not expect this extreme weather until 2050.
“Each time history repeats itself, the price goes up,” the anthropologist Ronald Wright warns, calling industrial society “a suicide machine.”
In A Short History of Progress, he writes:
Civilization is an experiment, a very recent way of life in the human career, and it has a habit of walking into what I am calling progress traps. A small village on good land beside a river is a good idea; but when the village grows into a city and paves over the good land, it becomes a bad idea. While prevention might have been easy, a cure may be impossible: a city isn’t easily moved. This human inability to foresee — or to watch out for — long-range consequences may be inherent to our kind, shaped by the millions of years when we lived from hand to mouth by hunting and gathering. It may also be little more than a mix of inertia, greed, and foolishness encouraged by the shape of the social pyramid. The concentration of power at the top of large-scale societies gives the elite a vested interest in the status quo; they continue to prosper in darkening times long after the environment and general populace begin to suffer.
Wright also reflects upon what will be left behind:
The archaeologists who dig us up will need to wear hazmat suits. Humankind will leave a telltale layer in the fossil record composed of everything we produce, from mounds of chicken bones, wet-wipes, tires, mattresses and other household waste to metals, concrete, plastics, industrial chemicals, and the nuclear residue of power plants and weaponry. We are cheating our children, handing them tawdry luxuries and addictive gadgets while we take away what’s left of the wealth, wonder and possibility of the pristine Earth.
Calculations of humanity’s footprint suggest we have been in ‘ecological deficit,’ taking more than Earth’s biological systems can withstand, for at least 30 years. Topsoil is being lost far faster than nature can replenish it; 30 percent of arable land has been exhausted since the mid-20th century.
We have financed this monstrous debt by colonizing both past and future, drawing energy, chemical fertilizer and pesticides from the planet’s fossil carbon, and throwing the consequences onto coming generations of our species and all others. Some of those species have already been bankrupted: they are extinct. Others will follow.
As Cahokia declined, violence dramatically increased. Surrounding towns were burned to the ground. Groups, numbering in the hundreds, were slaughtered and buried in mass graves. At the end, “the enemy killed all people indiscriminately. The intent was not merely prestige, but an early form of ethnic cleansing” writes anthropologist Timothy R. Pauketat, in Ancient Cahokia and the Mississippians. He notes that, in one fifteenth-century cemetery in central Illinois, one-third of all adults had been killed by blows to the head, arrow wounds or scalping. Many showed evidence of fractures on their arms from vain attempts to fight off their attackers.
Such descent into internecine violence is compounded by a weakened and discredited central authority. In the later stages of Cahokia, the ruling class surrounded themselves with fortified wooden stockades, including a two-mile long wall that enclosed Monks Mound. Similar fortifications dotted the vast territory the Cahokia controlled, segregating gated communities where the wealthy and powerful, protected by armed guards, sought safety from the increasing lawlessness and hoarded dwindling food supplies and resources.
Overcrowding inside these stockades saw the spread of tuberculosis and blastomycosis, caused by a soil-borne fungus, along with iron deficiency anemia. Infant mortality rates rose, and life spans declined, a result of social disintegration, poor diet and disease.
By the 1400s Cahokia had been abandoned. In 1541, when Hernando de Soto’s invading army descended on what is today Missouri, looking for gold, nothing but the great mounds remained, relics of a forgotten past.
This time the collapse will be global. It will not be possible, as in ancient societies, to migrate to new ecosystems rich in natural resources. The steady rise in heat will devastate crop yields and make much of the planet uninhabitable. Climate scientists warn that once temperatures rise by 4℃, the earth, at best, will be able to sustain a billion people.
The more insurmountable the crisis becomes, the more we, like our prehistoric ancestors, will retreat into self-defeating responses, violence, magical thinking and denial.
The historian Arnold Toynbee, who singled out unchecked militarism as the fatal blow to past empires, argued that civilizations are not murdered, but commit suicide. They fail to adapt to a crisis, ensuring their own obliteration. Our civilization’s collapse will be unique in size, magnified by the destructive force of our fossil fuel-driven industrial society. But it will replicate the familiar patterns of collapse that toppled civilizations of the past. The difference will be in scale, and this time there will be no exit.

When he was 21, Stanley Andrisse hit rock bottom.
"I was sitting in a courtroom facing 20 years to life and had this prosecutor telling me that I had no hope for changing," Andrisse says. He was convicted on three felony counts and spent the next few years in a Missouri prison.
He says his 21-year-old self could never have imagined his life today: Andrisse is now an endocrinologist, scientist and professor at Howard University's College of Medicine. He has a Ph.D., an MBA, and a lab full of students who affectionately call him Dr. Stan.
"So I didn't quite live up to the expectations of the prosecutor those many, many years ago," he says with a laugh.
Andrisse credits his success to a mentor he had while he was incarcerated. They encouraged him to continue his education and helped him apply to higher education programs while he was still behind bars.
His story is remarkable, but historically Black colleges and universities are trying to make it more common. Around the country, HBCUs are investing in education for incarcerated or formerly incarcerated people, with the goal of reducing recidivism and building a prison-to-college pipeline.
"Our brothers and sisters behind the wall are coming home." says Laura Ferguson Mimms, executive director of the Tennessee Higher Education In Prison Initiative (THEI). "And over the course of three years, 47% will return to incarceration if we continue to do exactly what we've done."
Since 2011, her organization has worked with Tennessee community colleges to provide degree programs behind bars.
"When we introduce post-secondary educational options while the individual is incarcerated, we reduce the risk of recidivism by nearly half," she says.
HBCUs are well-positioned to help incarcerated students
In 2021, THEI launched its first four-year degree program with Lane College, an HBCU in Jackson, Tenn. Like many of the oldest HBCUs, Lane was founded to help educate formerly enslaved people. Mimms says the school's history makes it well-positioned to help incarcerated students.
She recalls the first day of Lane College classes at Northwest Correctional Complex in Tiptonville. The lecture was supposed to be online, but the president of Lane College came to speak to the students in person. He talked about the history of the school and the legacy of HBCUs as a tool for Black liberation. "The students were absolutely mesmerized," Mimms says.
Claflin University, an HBCU in Orangeburg, S.C., has seen similar enthusiasm from students.
"They have truly embraced the program and they are probably some of the best recruiters for the program," says Twaina Harris, director of Claflin's prison-to-college initiative.
The program's enrollment numbers keep climbing. "We started last summer with 10 students, I am projecting we will probably be well over 140 students by the fall semester," she says.
Getting help from someone who has been in your shoes
Even though the interest is there, college programs in prison are hard to come by.
"My personal experience with higher education pretty much stopped at the door when I was incarcerated at the facility," says Rabia Qutab, who transitioned out of incarceration about a year ago.
Before serving about five years at a women's prison in Texas, Qutab had finished a pre-med degree and was getting ready to apply to medical school. She says transitioning back to life on the outside wasn't easy.
"I was like, 'I know, I want to go back to school, but how do we do this?' Right? Like, I want to pursue medicine, but then I have to worry about my record."
She started looking around, and found a program at Howard University that allows formerly incarcerated students to gain research experience in a top medical school lab, along with mentorship.
The program's founder and director is Stanley Andrisse.
For Qutab, the program offered a way to build her resume before applying to schools, and get guidance directly from Andrisse, someone who has been in her shoes.
"You don't have a lot of formerly incarcerated people pursuing medicine," she says. But if she can do it, she knows it'll make a difference. The same way Andrisse has made a difference for her.
She says, "I'm opening doors for people following me, you know? So why not? Because if I don't do it, then how do I expect others to follow that pathway?"

The trial run for cargo movement from Kolkata to the northeast via Bangladesh's Mongla port has been successfully conducted, with Union Minister Pratima Bhoumik receiving a consignment in Tripura's Sepahijala district, officials said.
Cargo movement from West Bengal's Kolkata port to the northeastern states of the country through the India-Bangladesh Protocol route will not only reduce transit cost and time, but also help in boosting the economy, they said. "A shipment reached Srimantapur LCS (land customs station) from Bangladesh today (Tuesday). It will be transported to Silchar later.
"This is an experimental cargo movement from Kolkata to Srimantapur via Mongla Port-Bibir Bazaar in Bangladesh. It has created a new scope for transportation of consignments. Once the system is regularised, several items could be transported to the northeastern states through Bangladesh," said Mr Bhoumik, the union minister of state for social justice and empowerment.
Tripura Industries and Commerce Minister Santana Chakma and Indian Assistant High Commissioner at Chittagong Dr Rajiv Ranjan were present at Srimangapur LCS during the arrival of the shipment.
An agreement and standard operating procedure on the use of Chittagong and Mongla ports for the movement of goods to and from India have been signed by the two countries.
"A consignment was successfully transported from Chittagong port to Akhura (Agartala) Integrated Check Post in 2020. This time, another shipment came from Kolkata to Srimantapur via Mongla port (Bangladesh) on an experimental basis and the process was smooth," Land Ports Authority of India, Agartala Manager Debasish Nandi told PTI.
The shipping ministry will prepare a final report and discuss with its Bangladesh counterpart on regularising transportation of shipments for the northeast, he added.

Marlink expands network portfolio with flexible, cost-effective Sealink 60 VSAT service
Oslo and Paris, 17 July 2022. Marlink, the smart network solutions company, has unveiled Sealink 60, a new Ku-band VSAT service designed to meet the needs of smaller merchant, offshore and fishing vessels.
Sealink 60 Icon
Created in response to the growing demand for regional VSAT coverage requiring a smaller antenna, Sealink 60 is designed to provide flexible, regional connectivity to vessels seeking to upgrade from L-band services.
Sealink 60 offers users a choice of two lightweight and easy-to-install industry standard 60cm antennas and is available with different service plans, with or without guaranteed bandwidth. It can be provided to vessels in several regional coverage areas as well as during transits between areas.
The service is offered with unlimited usage, data speeds up to 5 Mbps and a choice of Maximum Information Rate (MIR)-only or combined MIR/Committed Information Rate (CIR) plans. Designed with maximum flexibility in mind, the service can be upgraded from regional to global coverage, with short term bandwidth upgrades and up to six months of lay-up per year also available.
As part of Marlink’s ‘smart’ approach to network solutions, maritime customers benefit from Sealink 60 being hybrid-ready, combining the VSAT service with low-latency, high-bandwidth terrestrial technologies (including 4G) to create a resilient hybrid network solution.
Network management for crew and corporate connectivity is managed by Marlink’s digital XChange server onboard, with prepaid ‘crew calling’ options for voice, email and web browsing on their own devices.
This variety of options allows shipping companies to choose the right package to meet business and crew communication needs on board their vessels.
The introduction of Sealink 60 marks a further evolution of Marlink’s VSAT services, since it will exclusively cater for vessels requiring reduced antenna size and maximum flexibility in terms of coverage and throughput, says Tore Morten Olsen, President, Maritime, Marlink. We understand that these smaller ships may regularly switch areas of operation or spend planned time in lay-up and we have designed our plans to deliver maximum value to our customers in these markets.

In the last decade, social media platforms have enormously impacted the democracies of India and Brazil. Their presence in the countries, their widespread adoption, and the subsequent use of these spaces and tools by orchestrated, harmful actors have led to a slide in fundamental rights. In Brazil, an important mark to remember is the 2018 general election process, when it was revealed that Jair Bolsonaro's campaign was using WhatsApp mass messaging tools to disseminate mis/disinformation about his Workers’ Party opponent.
Similarly, the 2019 general elections in India were popularly called “WhatsApp elections,” given the extensive use of the platform for mass outreach by the political parties. Over the years, the influence that these platforms have had, especially Facebook, has come to light at various points. For instance, a Wall Street Journal report published in 2020 revealed that a close nexus between Facebook and the ruling party had been brewing. The report claimed that top executives had asked their employees not to take action against BJP leaders as it could hurt the company’s business interests in the country, and removed pages that propagated fake news’ against the party.
On the other hand, the Indian government’s relationship with Twitter has been tumultuous. At various points through 2021, the social media giant has not adhered to the government’s rules and legal requests to take down content, claiming that doing so would be detrimental to freedom of expression online. The government has responded with disdain, legal notices, and threats to seize Twitter’s office. More recently, in July 2022, Twitter took legal action against the Indian government's orders to take down content.
India and Brazil are frequently compared due to the similarities of their leaders Narendra Modi and Jair Bolsonaro's authoritarian styles of governance. What also makes these countries fit for comparison is the role that social media has played in undermining these democracies. Additionally, both countries are among the largest markets for some of the social media giants.
When it comes to tech policy, it is also notable that in the two countries, over the last few years, platforms have begun taking action against this malicious use of their services by harmful and often coordinated actors; however, it is still far from enough to contain the negative impacts.
In the case of Brazil, these actors who have increasingly been targeted by platforms’ moderation actions, such as content takedowns, group suspensions and account bans, side with president Bolsonaro and have exerted an influential role among his supporter base. One example is far-right blogger Allan dos Santos, who has been de-platformed at the order of the Supreme Court and is currently a fugitive in the United States. Also, in the last two years, platforms have taken strong moderation actions against Bolsonaro himself, including the takedown of a live transmission and removal of potentially false publications. Another relevant point is that, in anticipation of the 2022 general elections, the Electoral Supreme Court (TSE) has set up cooperation agreements with the vast majority of social media companies operating in the country. Because Bolsonaro is against the TSE, which he views as a frauded, illegitimate institution, this means he views this agreement as a plot against him and his government, which is not the case. This cooperation agreement takes place as part of a program to fight electoral misinformation.
One immediate impact is potential government interference in how platforms operate within a certain country in order to serve a specific person or group's interest. In the Indian scenario, glimpses of this can be seen with the accusations made of Facebook favouring the ruling party at the expense of letting hate speech against minorities go unchecked. Mis/disinformation in the country is a major issue, and has even led to the loss of lives. Any polarization that serves the interests of one specific person or group using social media could have dangerous impacts on different groups, and society at large.
One other potential impact is that this pushback and fight against platforms eventually enters the economic realm, with potential sanctions or fines, which would force platforms to give in to these authoritarian leaders’ requests, and thus have implications for free speech and citizens’ privacy online.
As a reaction to the platforms’ response in ramping up measures ahead of the general elections, the Brazilian government is pushing back. This is particularly strong in the case of WhatsApp. The messaging app, by far the most popular in Brazil, has decided to withhold the launch of the Communities feature until after the elections in October 2022. This feature, set to launch globally in September, will increase the user cap on groups while also allowing Community admins to reach up to 2,500 people through broadcast lists. In April 2022, Bolsonaro requested a meeting with WhatsApp representatives in which he asked that the company launch the feature before the elections. According to news reports, his narrative was that “if the TSE can have an agreement with WhatsApp, then I also can have one myself.” By his logic, WhatsApp would have to serve his own interests, as his campaign would benefit from these larger groups.
In the case of India, mis/information are very real concerns, and time and again accounts of whistleblowers point out how powerful political parties in the country have used these platforms for their vested interests at the expense of democratic values and fundamental rights. More publicly, the power struggle between platforms and the Indian government is visible over content moderation policies. This was seen when the Indian government introduced the IT Rules 2021 which placed several obligations on social media giants. Several players, including WhatsApp and Twitter, criticised the rules as a government overreach that could change the internet freedom of users. WhatsApp legally challenged a clause that required the company to trace the originator of a message virtually breaking the end-to-end encryption. The company argued that such requirements would severely undermine the privacy of users as per reports. Twitter also opposed the Indian government’s IT Rules, and received threats that non-compliance would result in the company losing its status as an “intermediary.” In June 2021, Twitter lost its intermediary status only to gain it back after compliance with the rules.
Additionally, the power struggle is also visible over the adherence to take-down requests by the government. India has one of the highest rates of takedown requests in the world, and this has often been used as a tool to curb criticism. For instance, Twitter’s refusal to comply with take-down requests during politically charged protests in 2021 led to backlash from the government. In 2022, the media reported that Twitter challenged the government’s order to take down several tweets stating the orders amounted to an “abuse of power.”
There's no doubt that social media is one of the battlefields of digital authoritarianism, so we can expect to see more conflict with states and state actors as the platforms consolidate their hold the world over.

EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — This absence for Kirk Cousins was far more convenient for him and the Minnesota Vikings.
After catching COVID-19 and staying home for five days in line with the current guidelines, Cousins returned to practice Wednesday with the Vikings for their first of two joint sessions with the visiting San Francisco 49ers.
Though Cousins has said throughout the offseason that he can't afford to miss any on-field repetitions as he continues to soak up new head coach Kevin O'Connell's offense, the timing of his latest quarantine was such that he only missed one full-speed practice last Thursday.
The Vikings had a light workout Friday, traveled Saturday and played Sunday at Las Vegas, where Cousins was already unlikely to play more than a series or two if at all. Players were off Monday.
“I was commenting to my wife that if I was to miss five days and you had to pick which five, strategically we probably picked a good five,” Cousins said.
Last season, when the NFL had strict COVID-19 protocols in place, particularly for unvaccinated players, Cousins was sidelined for five days early in training camp after being deemed a close contact because backup Kellen Mond tested positive. Three of the four quarterbacks on the roster at the time had to sit out.
Then Cousins himself contracted the virus two days before the Jan. 2 game at Green Bay and had to stay home while the Vikings lost with Sean Mannion at quarterback and were eliminated from contention for the playoffs.
With Cousins watching from home, Mannion and Mond split the snaps almost evenly in the preseason opener against the Raiders. Mond has taken steps this summer toward becoming the second-stringer, after he was firmly entrenched as the No. 3 option as a rookie. Mond went 9 for 14 for 119 yards and two touchdowns without a sack or a turnover, for whatever those statistics can mean in a meaningless game.
“There was some resiliency there," offensive coordinator Wes Phillips said. "There were a couple plays he’d probably like to have back or maybe would’ve liked to have let go and throw into a window, and you know what? He just kept playing. There was no flinch.”
Cousins played crisply during the full-team drills against San Francisco's defense, even uncharacteristically punctuating his catch phrase — “You like that?” — with an expletive after a completion to Adam Thielen.
“I love it when any of my teammates get fired up,” said rookie Ed Ingram, who has moved into the starting right guard spot.
The 49ers had defensive lineman Arik Armstead (knee) and cornerback Emmanuel Moseley (hamstring) back on the field for individual drills, though safety Jimmie Ward is missing with a hamstring injury that will keep him out for awhile.
The 49ers and Vikings had their share of predictable jawing after certain plays here and there. Unlike the fight that broke out Wednesday between the Carolina Panthers and New England Patriots in their joint practice, there were no visible problems.
“That’s a pretty big emphasis. We have a deal with Kevin. Anyone throws a punch, we’re going to kick them out of practice,” 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said. “We know how important it is to get this practice work in right now.”
Particularly with a young, new starting quarterback in Trey Lance.
Just like in the preseason game Friday against Green Bay, Lance hit rookie Danny Gray on a deep ball for a long touchdown. The connection Wednesday came in a 7-on-7 drill against veteran cornerback Patrick Peterson.
“Some ups and downs,” said Lance, a native of Minnesota who was the third overall pick in the 2021 draft out of North Dakota State. “I'm excited to watch it, for sure. It’s just good to go against another defense — 1-on-1s, 7-on-7, red zone, everything against another team."
The 49ers were enjoying their extended road trip, having arrived Tuesday in advance of the game Saturday. Some of them spent time at the Mall of America the night before, and Minnesota's 4-year-old gleaming suburban complex turned plenty of heads from the visitors.
“Beautiful facility. Change of scenery,” tight end George Kittle said. “It’s been a great day.”

Dodge is taking a giant step forward on the performance brand's road to an electrified future, revealing the Dodge Charger Daytona SRT, a perception-shattering concept that reimagines what a battery-electric vehicle (BEV) can be. The Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Concept offers a glimpse at the brand's electric future through a vehicle that drives like a Dodge, looks like a Dodge and sounds like Dodge.
The two-door Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Concept was unveiled today at M1 Concourse in Pontiac, Michigan, during the third day of the three-day Dodge Speed Week event series, which featured announcements and reveals of Dodge performance products.
The Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Concept muscles aside the boring BEV paradigm and replaces it with an electrified vehicle unlike any on the road today. A new propulsion system drives the Charger Daytona SRT Concept with performance that exceeds the Dodge brand's famed SRT Hellcat engine, accompanied by an industry-first BEV exhaust sound.
The concept's modern exterior styling incorporates subtle Dodge heritage cues while also exceeding aerodynamic targets. Interior design elements connect to create a driver-centric, immersive experience through sounds, displays and lighting features that change inside and out at the push of a button.
Core to the Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Concept are three game-changing, patent-pending features that will rewrite the rules of the BEV segment:
- R-Wing: A unique aerodynamic pass-through design feature that connects the concept with its iconic Dodge Daytona namesake
- Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust: Industry-first BEV exhaust, can reach 126 dB, making it as loud as a Hellcat-powered Dodge
- eRupt: Multi-speed transmission with an electro-mechanical shifting experience that's pure Dodge
"The Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Concept exists because performance made us do it," said Tim Kuniskis, Dodge brand chief executive officer – Stellantis. "Dodge is about muscle, attitude and performance, and the brand carries that chip on its shoulder and into the BEV segment through a concept loaded with patents, innovations, and performance features that embody the electrified muscle of tomorrow. The Charger Daytona SRT Concept can do more than run the car show circuit; it can run a blazing quarter-mile. And when it comes to product cycles, it outruns Darwin. Charger Daytona does more than define where Dodge is headed, it will redefine American muscle in the process.
"One day ago, the brand's first-ever electrified performance vehicle was unveiled, the all-new 2023 Dodge Hornet. Today, we revealed a peek at our eMuscle future with the Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Concept. When we said it was going to be an electric summer for Dodge, we meant it."

Newly disclosed documents show federal intelligence officials warned decision-makers that the police dispersal of “Freedom Convoy” protesters in Ottawa last winter could prompt an “opportunistic attack” against a politician or symbol of government.
The Feb. 24 “threat highlight,” marked Secret/Canadian Eyes Only, also advised that extremist “influencers” would leverage the outcome of the protests for continued recruitment and propaganda, regardless of whether COVID-19 pandemic restrictions were relaxed.
Ideologically motivated extremists would likely use police enforcement “to encourage violent revenge or as further evidence of government ‘tyranny,’” the four-page assessment said.
The partially redacted memo, obtained by The Canadian Press through the Access to Information Act, was among several Integrated Terrorism Assessment Centre analyses produced before, during and after the protests that paralyzed downtown Ottawa for three weeks beginning in late January.
The centre, overseen by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, brings together security and intelligence professionals from various agencies to draft terrorism threat assessments, based on classified and open-source information, to share with partners at home and abroad.
The aim is to provide senior decision-makers with the latest and most detailed information to assess the overall threat and risk level.
Protesters, many with large trucks, occupied central Ottawa streets to rail against COVID-19 health measures and Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government. The influx, including some participants who had roots in the far-right movement, prompted many businesses to shut their doors and aggravated residents with noise, diesel fumes and harassing behaviour.
On Feb. 14, the government invoked the Emergencies Act, which allowed for temporary measures including regulation and prohibition of public assemblies, the designation of secure places, direction to banks to freeze assets and a ban on support for participants.
Authorities towed away trucks, arrested more than 200 people and laid hundreds of charges.
Extremist ideologues portrayed the police response as “brutality” and the use of the Emergencies Act as further evidence of federal “tyranny,” comparing the government tactics to those of foreign dictatorships, the Feb. 24 assessment noted. It added that several online incitements to violence had surfaced, with some implying that direct action against politicians, police and even their families was the only option left.
“That’s something that typically happens with these sorts of movements,” said Barbara Perry, director of the Centre on Hate, Bias and Extremism at Ontario Tech University.
“When you push back against them, they use that as yet more evidence that they’re the ones under attack, that their assessment is right, that they are being silenced, that they are the ones being marginalized and threatened by that tyrannical state, as they like to call it.”
The “Freedom Convoy” and related protests at government buildings and border crossings fuelled anti-authority sentiments among adherents of ideologically motivated violent extremism, or IMVE, the Feb. 24 assessment said.
“The perceived notion that societal resilience is fragile, or that the government/police response justifies violent resistance, could inspire a lone actor or small group inspired by IMVE to conduct an opportunistic attack against a political figure or symbol of government,” the analysts concluded.
“Supporters of IMVE will continue to encourage, and capitalize on, anti-government sentiments and protest movements, whether related to the pandemic or other issues, in an attempt to degrade public confidence and social cohesion, and to attract vulnerable individuals to their ideological cause.”
The future loosening of public health restrictions might calm the protest movement, but people who embrace violent extremism, particularly those “wanting to accelerate the demise of current social and political orders, are unlikely to be placated,” the assessment said.
“IMVE threats to political figures and government symbols will persist into the foreseeable future.”
The national capital would see followup protests, including a late June procession that included many of the figures involved in the winter events.
“They’ve really set the stage and drawn more people in around a broader distrust of government, science, academics, media — all of those institutions,” Perry said. “So, I think they’ll continue to find ways to exploit those anxieties, exploit those grievances that they’ve helped to create, or at least exacerbate.”
The terrorism assessment centre began tracking the truck convoy headed to Ottawa as early as Jan. 26, producing a secret assessment that flagged the possibility of opportunistic violence on the margins of the protest.
A Feb. 3 analysis said a co-ordinated terrorist attack or a planned storming of Parliament Hill or other federal locations were unlikely.
“The most likely IMVE-related scenario involves an inspired lone actor using available weapons and resources such as knives, firearms, homemade explosives and vehicles in public areas against soft targets, including opposition groups or members of the public.”

Cities in Columbia County are reviewing their legal avenues concerning Oregon’s efforts to allow psilocybin products to be used to treat mental health issues, such as depression.
Psilocybin is a hallucinogenic substance obtained from certain types of mushrooms that are indigenous to tropical and subtropical regions of South America, Mexico, and the United States, according to the National Drug Intelligence Center.
The Johns Hopkins Center for Psychedelic and Consciousness Research is leading the way in exploring innovative treatments using psilocybin, according to the center's website.
"The molecular structure of psilocybin, a naturally occurring psychedelic compound found in 'magic mushrooms,' allows it to penetrate the central nervous system," the website states.
Studies by John Hopkins University researchers and others have shown that psilocybin can help with depression.
Oregon has the one of the highest prevalence of mental illness among adults in the nation and an estimated one in every five adults in Oregon is coping with a mental health condition.
Gov. Kate Brown has declared addiction as a public health crisis in Oregon and has proposed spending over $2.8 billion on mental health and behavioral health programs.
The Oregon Psilocybin Services (OPS) Section at Oregon Health Authority (OHA) has released a new set of proposed rules related to psilocybin products, testing and training programs under Ballot Measure 109, also known as the Oregon Psilocybin Services Act, which directs OHA to license and regulate psilocybin products and the provision of psilocybin services.
Oregon Measure 109, which legalized the use of psilocybin products to those over 21 in a controlled clinical setting, was passed in November 2020.
Cities want more time
However, the St. Helens City Council has decided that a voters should make the decision concerning a proposed 2-year ban on such sales of psilocybin products in St. Helens.
“In St. Helens, the measure was close to a 50/50 split among voters, according to St. Helens City Administrator John Wash, who added that it will likely take the OHA several years to fully develop rules to administer this measure.
According to Walsh, Oregon cities have a few options in responding to this measure.
They can do nothing and allow the immediate use of psilocybins without finalized rules from OHA being completed yet: Put a two-year moratorium on the use of psilocybins until OHA has time to develop rules; or ban this type of use by businesses inside city limits.
“Because the vote was close in St. Helens and OHA has not yet had time to develop regulations related to Measure 109, the city council has decided to place the decision before voters and see if they want a two-year moratorium on psilocybin businesses operating inside St. Helens city limits,” Walsh said. “This will allow OHA time to fully develop rules related to these types of businesses and give the city clear guidance moving forward.”
The Clatskaien City Council also decided to refer the issue to voters.
During the regular monthly Clatskanie City Council meeting Aug. 3, the council members voted 3-2 to refer the ban to voters in the November General Election. Councilor Gary Jones abstained, saying he needed more information before making his decision.
“There were a lot of people who testified against the ban during the council’s meeting,” Hinkelman said. “Those opposed to the ban were very much in favor of having the psilocybin products available for their medicinal purposes.”
Hinkelman said the two-year ban would allow the Oregon Health Authority to define and adopt rules to help guide cities and counties in regulating the psilocybin products.

NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump’s chief financial officer is expected to plead guilty to tax violations Thursday in a deal that would require him to testify about illicit business practices at the former president’s company, two people familiar with the matter told The Associated Press.
Allen Weisselberg is charged with taking more than $1.7 million in off-the-books compensation from the Trump Organization over several years, including untaxed perks like rent, car payments and school tuition.
The plea deal would require the Weisselberg speak in court Thursday about the company’s role in the alleged compensation arrangement and possibly serve as a witness when the Trump Organization goes on trial in October on related charges, the people said.
The two people were not authorized to speak publicly about the case and did so on condition of anonymity.
Weisselberg, 75, is likely to receive a sentence of five months in jail, to be served at New York City’s notorious Rikers Island complex, and he could be required to pay about $2 million in restitution, including taxes, penalties and interest, the people said. If that punishment holds, Weisselberg would be eligible for release after about 100 days.
Messages seeking comment were left with the Manhattan district attorney’s office and lawyers for Weisselberg and the Trump Organization.
Weisselberg is the only person to face criminal charges so far in the Manhattan district attorney’s long-running investigation of the company’s business practices.
Long seen as one of Trump’s most loyal business associates, Weisselberg was arrested in July 2021. His lawyers have argued the Democrat-led district attorney’s office was punishing him because he wouldn’t offer information that would damage Trump.
The district attorney has also been investigating whether Trump or his company lied to banks or the government about the value of its properties to obtain loans or reduce tax bills.
Former District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr., who started the investigation, last year directed his deputies to present evidence to a grand jury and seek an indictment of Trump, according to former prosecutor Mark Pomerantz, who previously led the probe.
But after Vance left office, his successor, Alvin Bragg, allowed the grand jury to disband without charges. Both prosecutors are Democrats. Bragg has said the investigation is continuing.
The Trump Organization is not involved in Weisselberg’s expected guilty plea Thursday and is scheduled to be tried in the alleged compensation scheme in October.
Prosecutors alleged that the company gave untaxed fringe benefits to senior executives, including Weisselberg, for 15 years. Weisselberg alone was accused of defrauding the federal government, state and city out of more than $900,000 in unpaid taxes and undeserved tax refunds.
Under state law, punishment for the most serious charge against Weisselberg, grand larceny, could carry a penalty as high as 15 years in prison. But the charge carries no mandatory minimum, and most first-time offenders in tax-related cases never end up behind bars.
The tax fraud charges against the Trump Organization are punishable by a fine of double the amount of unpaid taxes, or $250,000, whichever is larger.
Trump has not been charged in the criminal probe. The Republican has decried the New York investigations as a “political witch hunt,” has said his company’s actions were standard practice in the real estate business and in no way a crime.
Last week, Trump sat for a deposition in New York Attorney General Letitia James’ parallel civil investigation into allegations Trump’s company misled lenders and tax authorities about asset values. Trump invoked his Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination more than 400 times. | https://www.arklatexhomepage.com/news/u-s-world/trump-organization-cfo-to-plead-guilty-testify-against-company/ | 2022-08-18T00:40:23Z | https://www.arklatexhomepage.com/news/u-s-world/trump-organization-cfo-to-plead-guilty-testify-against-company/ | true | 72 |
WASHINGTON — Amazon appears to be getting the TikTok bug, joining other companies seeking to hold consumers' attention by introducing replicas of the popular social platform.
The e-commerce giant has been testing a feed on its app that enables shoppers to scroll through TikTok-like photos and videos of products posted by other users.
Using the feature, called Inspire, customers can like, save and share posts of products, and purchase items directly from the feed, according to Watchful Technologies, an Israeli-based artificial-intelligence firm that analyzes apps and has tracked the feature.
The test doesn’t mean Amazon will roll out the widget to the public in its current form — or at all. Alyssa Bronikowski, an Amazon spokesperson, declined to say if the company has plans to introduce the feature to all its customers. In a statement, Bronikowski said the company is “constantly testing new features to help make customers’ lives a little easier.”
The Wall Street Journal first reported on the test. Citing an anonymous source, the Journal also said the company is testing the feature among a small number of Amazon employees.
Amazon often experiments with new features, sometimes even targeting its tests to specific regions. Amid regulatory pressure about its private-label business, the company had been testing how to identify its brands in search results by tagging them with badges such as “Amazon brand” or “Exclusive to Amazon," the research firm Marketplace Pulse discovered earlier this year.
In its current form, the experimental TikTok-like feed mostly shows photos, said Daniel Buchuk, a researcher with Watchful Technologies. But if the feature is rolled out, Buchuk suspects the feed will be video-heavy as Amazon sellers create content to make it more engaging for customers.
The corporate parents of Google and Facebook, the two biggest sellers in digital advertising, already have been pushing their own TikTok clones in bids to keep eyeballs glued to their services so they can continue to boost their revenue.
Google’s YouTube video service rolled a “Shorts” feature limited to clips of a minute or less last year in the U.S. after initially testing it in India during 2020. By June of this year, Google said YouTube Shorts was attracting more than 1.5 billion logged-in users each month, although analysts believe TikTok’s popularity is undercutting ad sales at the video site.
Those concerns were elevated by Google’s latest quarterly results, which revealed YouTube’s year-over-year growth in ad sales had slowed to its slowest pace since public disclosures of the site’s revenue began.
Meanwhile, Facebook now offers its own take on TikTok, a short-form video feature called Reels, on its Instagram app as well as its main social networking service, which are now operate as part of Meta Platforms. Earlier this year, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Reels accounted for more than 20% of the time that people spend on Instagram.
But it’s not clear that engagement is helping to drive ad sales after Meta recently reported its first year-over-year drop in quarterly revenue since Facebook went public a decade ago. | https://www.9news.com/article/news/nation-world/amazon-tests-new-tiktok-style-feature-on-feed/507-e76791a9-5da8-4b98-8918-2c3e19fa6049 | 2022-08-18T00:51:04Z | https://www.9news.com/article/news/nation-world/amazon-tests-new-tiktok-style-feature-on-feed/507-e76791a9-5da8-4b98-8918-2c3e19fa6049 | true | 39 |
A Palestine couple is turning to the community for help in finding their son, David Oliver.
According to Harry and Kristi Oliver, his adoptive parents, David, 19, a resident of Palestine and a student at the University of Texas at Tyler has been missing since July 5.
“We just want to know if he’s OK,” Harry said. “If he doesn’t want to talk to us, we hope he’ll just tell the police that he’s OK, so we know he’s alright.”
Harry and Kristi said David came to see them July 5 and left to go back to his campus apartment because he had work the next day.
The Olivers said David worked as a lifeguard at Holiday Inn Villages Resort in Flint and that he called and visited regularly, not going more than a couple of days without getting in touch with them.
The couple said they had set up conditions with David that he must stay in contact with them or he would lose his privileges of driving a car they owned.
After going several weeks without hearing from him, they texted to warn him of communicating, or they would be forced to take action to get the car back, they received a text July 17 telling them the car would be back the next day.
The next day, Kristi and David found the car parked in the street. Kristi said the seat position was in the wrong position for David to have driven it and there were children’s toys left in the car. They are not certain that the last message about the car came from their son or feel like someone else was driving the car when it was dropped off.
The couple reported their son missing to the UT Tyler Police Department in July and tried to file a report with the Tyler Police Department.
After failing to pay his rent, David lost his apartment and his belongings were recently removed and placed outside, including many items of value like video games and the consoles to play them, instruments and furniture.
“These were all things he had worked very hard for,” Kristi said. “I can’t see him just leaving them behind.”
The couple said they were told by UT Tyler that it looked like no one had lived in the apartment in a while and it had been trashed.
No one in the Oliver’s family has heard from David.
The couple said they filed a missing person’s report with the Palestine Police Department.
If you have any information about David Oliver’s whereabouts or that could help find him, you are asked to call 903-729-2254. | https://www.palestineherald.com/news/palestine-couple-seeking-answers-in-son-s-disappearance/article_a3485e7a-1e88-11ed-b2f3-f39da8993d6c.html | 2022-08-18T00:54:55Z | https://www.palestineherald.com/news/palestine-couple-seeking-answers-in-son-s-disappearance/article_a3485e7a-1e88-11ed-b2f3-f39da8993d6c.html | false | 1 |

OKALOOSA, Fla. (WFLA) — A Florida airport employee was arrested after deputies said he stole over $16,000 worth of items from travelers’ luggage.
The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office said 19-year-old Giovanni De Luca, an airline subcontractor who worked at Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport, faces two counts of grand theft.
According to a sheriff’s office news release, in July, a traveler reported her luggage, which had more than $1,600 worth of stuff inside, never got to her destination. It was listed as stolen or lost. There was an Apple AirTag, a tracking device, inside the suitcase which showed it was in the area of Mary Esther neighborhood.
On Tuesday, deputies said another traveler reported missing more than $15,000 worth of jewelry and other items from their luggage.
OSCO said they began interviewing employees who lived in the area of the Airtag’s location. That’s when they went to De Luca’s home.
The second victim’s items were found in his home. De Luca also admitted to going through the first victim’s luggage and removing the Airtag, though those stolen items were not found.
“This arrest is an example of excellent teamwork by our Airport Security Unit, our Investigators, and the Airport to find the person responsible for these thefts and make sure he is held responsible,” Sheriff Eric Aden said.
Apple’s AirTag, a coin-sized trackable device marketed as a tool to keep track of your belongings, has also garnered criticism in the past for being used by stalkers to follow their unsuspecting victims.
Now, however, Apple says the AirTag is designed to discourage “unwanted tracking.”
“If someone else’s AirTag finds its way into your stuff, your iPhone will notice it’s traveling with you and send you an alert,” Apple says. “After a while, if you still haven’t found it, the AirTag will start playing a sound to let you know it’s there.” | https://www.wlns.com/top-stories/airtag-leads-to-arrest-of-florida-airport-worker-accused-of-stealing-over-16k-in-items/ | 2022-08-18T01:01:31Z | https://www.wlns.com/top-stories/airtag-leads-to-arrest-of-florida-airport-worker-accused-of-stealing-over-16k-in-items/ | false | 24 |

A new wildfire has started near Kamloops.
According to the BC Wildfire Service (BCWS), the East Meadows Plateau wildfire, about 20 kilometres north of the city, sparked on Wednesday (Aug. 17). The blaze is approximately three hectares in size and is being fought by nine personnel, and two helicopters.
The fire is displaying rank two and three behaviour, which means it is a surface fire with flame and moving at a slow to moderate spread.
A tweet from the BCWS says the wildfire is “highly visible to Kamloops and the surrounding area.” The blaze is unrelated to the Watching Creek fire, which is about nine kilometres to the south.
The Kamloops area is currently under a heat warning. Environment Canada is forecasting a high of 37 C for Thursday, and 32 C for Friday.

More Americans are relying on credit cards. That could be very costly
Interest rates on credit cards are so high these days that consumers with a $5,000 credit card balance could pay an extra $1,000 in interest over the course of a year, according to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
The Fed has been aggressively raising interest rates this year in a bid to get inflation under control — and it has signaled that it's not nearly done. At the same time, as the CFPB notes, some families are relying more on credit cards to keep up with the high cost of living.
"In the coming months, even more people may turn to their credit cards, as increasing prices for necessities like groceries and gas upend their budgets," the consumer watchdog agency wrote in a blog post on Friday. "But this borrowing comes at a cost. With today's interest rates, a person with a $5,000 credit card balance could pay an additional $1,000 in interest over the course of a year."
More than 175 million Americans have at least one credit card and about half of active accounts carry a balance, according to the CFPB.
According to the CFPB, credit card interest rates have increased despite a stable share of riskier subprime cardholders, historically low prime rates and falling charge-off rates, a measure of accounts considered uncollectable after extreme delinquency. The prime rate is the interest rate banks charge their strongest corporate clients and it serves as a benchmark for consumer loans.
The CFPB found that last year, the spread between the prime rate and the average annual percentage rate (APR) on credit cards was at record highs — even as actual delinquencies and defaults tumbled to record lows.
Before the Great Recession, charge-off rates and credit card margins used to move in tandem, the CFPB said.
"But then, as the economy recovered, credit card companies did not decrease their prices accordingly, despite seemingly lower risk of default," the CFPB said. "During the Covid-19 pandemic, issuers' margins and charge-off rates diverged even further."
In a likely sign of tougher scrutiny to come, the CFPB called out how expensive it is to borrow via a credit card — even though consumers are, by and large, keeping up with their monthly bills. The consumer watchdog agency described this as an "apparent mismatch" and suggested the high rates may help explain the credit card industry's "outsized profits."
The CFPB said it plans to study whether anti-competitive practices in an industry "dominated by a few key players" have jacked up corporate profits at the expense of cardholders, or if this can be explained by the popularity of rewards programs.
In a statement, a spokesperson for the American Bankers Association, an industry trade group, accused the CFPB of a "troubling trend" of "cherry-picking information and painting an incomplete picture of the vibrant and highly competitive credit card market."
The ABA noted that a near-record share of cardholders are paying off their balance in full in recent months, avoiding interest charges.
"Americans value the convenience, safety and security they get from their credit cards, and they also appreciate the transparency of credit card pricing which is mandated by the government," the ABA spokesperson said. "As the economy evolves, card issuers will work with their customers to help them navigate the uncertainties ahead, just as they did during the pandemic and prior periods of financial stress."
"We take this threat [by the CFPB] seriously," Jaret Seiberg, analyst at Cowen Washington Research Group, wrote in a note to clients on Monday.
Seiberg noted that even though the CFPB does not have the authority to cap interest rates, the agency has effectively used public pressure in the past to persuade banks to change their policies.
"Banks may find it better to cut interest rates than engage in a public fight with the agency," Seiberg said. | https://www.koco.com/article/americans-credit-cards-could-be-costly/40912320 | 2022-08-18T01:16:41Z | https://www.koco.com/article/americans-credit-cards-could-be-costly/40912320 | false | 28 |

Trump Org. CFO to plead guilty, testify against company
NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump’s chief financial officer is expected to plead guilty to tax violations Thursday in a deal that would require him to testify about illicit business practices at the former president’s company, two people familiar with the matter told The Associated Press.
Allen Weisselberg is charged with taking more than $1.7 million in off-the-books compensation from the Trump Organization over several years, including untaxed perks like rent, car payments and school tuition.
The plea deal would require Weisselberg to speak in court Thursday about the company’s role in the alleged compensation arrangement and possibly serve as a witness when the Trump Organization goes on trial in October on related charges, the people said.
The two people were not authorized to speak publicly about the case and did so on condition of anonymity.
Weisselberg, 75, is likely to receive a sentence of five months in jail, to be served at New York City’s notorious Rikers Island complex, and he could be required to pay about $2 million in restitution, including taxes, penalties and interest, the people said. If that punishment holds, Weisselberg would be eligible for release after about 100 days.
Messages seeking comment were left with the Manhattan district attorney’s office and lawyers for Weisselberg and the Trump Organization.
Weisselberg is the only person to face criminal charges so far in the Manhattan district attorney’s long-running investigation of the company’s business practices.
Seen as one of Trump’s most loyal business associates, Weisselberg was arrested in July 2021. His lawyers have argued the Democrat-led district attorney’s office was punishing him because he wouldn’t offer information that would damage Trump.
The district attorney has also been investigating whether Trump or his company lied to banks or the government about the value of its properties to obtain loans or reduce tax bills.
Former District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr., who started the investigation, last year directed his deputies to present evidence to a grand jury and seek an indictment of Trump, according to former prosecutor Mark Pomerantz, who previously led the probe.
But after Vance left office, his successor, Alvin Bragg, allowed the grand jury to disband without charges. Both prosecutors are Democrats. Bragg has said the investigation is continuing.
The Trump Organization is not involved in Weisselberg’s expected guilty plea Thursday and is scheduled to be tried in the alleged compensation scheme in October.
Prosecutors alleged that the company gave untaxed fringe benefits to senior executives, including Weisselberg, for 15 years. Weisselberg alone was accused of defrauding the federal government, state and city out of more than $900,000 in unpaid taxes and undeserved tax refunds.
Under state law, punishment for the most serious charge against Weisselberg, grand larceny, could carry a penalty as high as 15 years in prison. But the charge carries no mandatory minimum, and most first-time offenders in tax-related cases never end up behind bars.
The tax fraud charges against the Trump Organization are punishable by a fine of double the amount of unpaid taxes, or $250,000, whichever is larger.
Trump has not been charged in the criminal probe. The Republican has decried the New York investigations as a “political witch hunt,” has said his company’s actions were standard practice in the real estate business and in no way a crime.
Last week, Trump sat for a deposition in New York Attorney General Letitia James’ parallel civil investigation into allegations Trump’s company misled lenders and tax authorities about asset values. Trump invoked his Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination more than 400 times.

Choosing a payday Lender: Is On the internet Studies Let?
Separate
I just looked the website off CashNetUSA, a company that gives payday loans and you may relevant items in 38 states across the United states. Your website is actually easy to read and you may presented the application form process and the (quite high) costs simply and you can clearly. But I wanted knowing: So is this organization legitimate? Can it live up to the guarantees? Can i feel one problems? So much more broadly, just how can a consumer share with whether an on-line pay-day bank is actually trustworthy?
The first remark website We Googled try ConsumerAffairs (to not ever feel mistaken for the greater-known Individual Reports*)panies pay is examined into the ConsumerAffairs, and you can CashNetUSA got more 1,five hundred feedback on the site. CashNetUSA glides several of the most beneficial ratings myself to a unique website, such as:
Customer care is best and constantly goes out of their means to fix assist me! CashNetUSA is within my personal opinion the greatest company for the ideal cost if you want a little extra let. I am able to highly recommend CashNetUSA to all my friends and you will family members exactly who you need a little extra let, and require punctual friendly solution. (Rock Creek, Ohio)
This suspiciously resembled adverts duplicate. The second reviewsounded more such a real individual, with a couple of mistakes included.
Now is a good go out. Thank you CashNet U . s .. All of your representatives possibly the on the internet cam did a jobs in aiding myself pay-off my personal old financing and you can re implementing for another. Best wishes Team. Thank you for suggestions which help you provided with a Height (sic). (Mesquite, Texas)
Given that overwhelming most the fresh new raters gave CashNetUSA 5 stars, We began to believe that real people who have utilized the services see its speed, convenience and you may customer service top quality. Exactly what regarding the much faster number of 3-celebrity critiques, regarding those who are neither found nor such as for instance installment loans in Parker CO no bank account enraged? Each one of these individuals enjoyed writing about the firm but reported concerning the higher rates. The fresh new step one-superstar recommendations was basically fundamentally rants off anybody very aggravated it spluttered everywhere my personal monitor. Clearly the analysis have been a way to release and just have a small bit from revenge. However these was indeed a highly short minority: the overall score is more 9 of 10.
A very comparable webpages are Trustpilot, with more than 2,000 critiques of CashNetUSA, providing they a total score away from 8.eight. One secret if or not any of these feedback are provided by bots – although the website ensures united states that’s not happening.
Bucks Websites Us, Is A rip off, I suggest you Shop around And Delight Take a moment To learn Your Package Before signing, A complete Frustration. (Connie Direct Newman)
Several other website, HighYa, just got a number of studies, but it are interested one HighYa’s CashNetUSA score is actually a low step 1.8 of ten, the contrary of one’s higher studies for the Trustpilot and you can ConsumerAffairs. However, HighYa offered a description. They explained one to CashNetUSA are full of fraudsters which twist just like the the lending company. A common strategy is to demand individuals to transmit bank account facts (to help you “test” a transaction) before approving financing. Exploring the experiences explained from the 1-start evaluations on the web sites, We determined that a lot of of your own low raters got come cheated because of the posers.
The following partners internet sites I searched checked analysis regarding employees of one’s webpages, instead of consumers. Instance, Top 10 Analysis informed me the service and you can applauded CashNetUSA to own ease beneficial. The top buttons towards the users making it possible for subscribers so you’re able to mouse click straight until the CashNetUSA website revealed that the website is pretty comfortable on organizations they feedback. Yet not, at the same time, the site released a warning to help you consumers to prevent pay day loan whenever you can.
SuperMoney merely got about three consumer analysis out-of CashNetUSA, having an average 3 celebrity get. However, the website helpfully informed one to CashNetUSA is belonging to il-oriented Enova Internationally, that also works into the Europe and you can South usa.
The past site We featured try Effortless. Thrifty. Way of life., and therefore summed up the picture I found myself beginning to get about CashNetUSA:
As a whole, certainly payday loans loan providers, CashNetUSA fares pretty much in terms of recommendations. They are generally within or at the top of any payday mortgage scores, mainly due to their prepared providers strategies, simple availableness and you will records from the payday loans job. To a few, that may seem like stating a specific bistro is the better of dinner having wellness password abuses, but also for somebody who it really is demands an instant payday loan, once you understand the most readily useful and not a whole ripoff normally getting very useful.
So it mining of the opinion internet sites met my desire for CashNetUSA, however it was just when you go to several web sites that we got a full scoop. Allow me to become familiar with the firm habits about these internet – and how their sources of money influence brand new feedback it monitor. The reviews out of individual customers to your big websites sure me personally of the authenticity and you may services quality of CashNetUSA, but I discounted those people show somewhat, comprehending that people spend to get indexed and you will remind users to place positive reviews, or put particularly ratings surreptitiously by themselves. The staff-written product reviews offered techniques about the organization you to definitely forced me to mark personal conclusions – along with that important opinion regarding scamming disease. However, instead corroboration regarding the individual analysis, We probably would features deal them, too. Simply from the asking each other user and professionals ratings into the numerous internet sites am i able to piece together what seemed like an established image.
We inquire just how many people in lookup away from an easy money financing in fact use the trouble so you’re able to examine these types of critiques. With the far advice within our fingertips, but without a lot of capacity to be certain that its provide, it will make perfect sense to fall right back for the dated reliable method: recommendations from individuals we trust.

The Air Force Special Operations Command has grounded all 52 of its CV-22 Ospreys because of an issue with the clutch that controls the distribution of power between the engines and rotors. The AFSOC says there have been two incidents in the last six weeks making a total of four in the last five years in which the clutches slipped and caused asymmetrical power distribution to the rotors. None of the aircraft involved crashed but there have been some hairy moments and the Air Force credits the skill and professionalism of our Air Commandos who operate the CV-22.”
When the clutches slip, they sometimes reengage which throws power back the other way and “if the aircrew were unable to control the aircraft when the incident occurs, it could result in loss of control and uncontrolled landing of the aircraft,” Lt. Col. Becky Heyse told Breaking Defense. “The safety of our Airmen is of the utmost importance, therefore no AFSOC CV-22s will fly until we will determine the cause of the hard clutch engagements and risk control measures are put in place.” It’s not clear how long the tiltrotors will be grounded. The Navy and Marines operate hundreds of the aircraft but there has been no similar announcement from those branches. | https://s30121.pcdn.co/aviation-news/slipping-clutch-grounds-air-force-ospreys/ | 2022-08-18T01:42:49Z | https://s30121.pcdn.co/aviation-news/slipping-clutch-grounds-air-force-ospreys/ | false | 2 |
Some lawyers in Akwa Ibom State have thrown their weight behind the suit instituted by the detained human rights lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, against the chief judge of the state, Justice Ekaette Obot.
A practising lawyer in the state, Barrister Ogunbiyi Oluwajuwon, who described the action as the right approach in the right direction, said, “Inibehe has every right to approach the court to seek legal redress to enforce his rights.”
Another lawyer, Clifford Thomas, said he (Effiong) has the right just like any other person to sue the CJ or any other person to enforce his rights.
Effiong, who is currently serving a 30-day jail term at the Uyo Correctional facility for alleged contempt of court, had sued Justice Obot for her refusal to furnish him with his conviction order and copies of court proceedings.
He prayed the Federal High Court in Uyo to order Justice Obot to furnish him with a copy of the July 27 judgment, which condemned him to 30 days’ imprisonment.
Effiong, in a suit marked FHC/UY/FHR/170/22, filed through his team of counsel led by human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, SAN, alleged that the CJ had ignored his repeated applications.
The suit, which was filed alongside an application for accelerated hearing and which has Justice Obot as the sole respondent, seeks the enforcement of his fundamental human rights to a fair hearing. | https://punchng.com/lawyers-back-inibehes-action-against-akwa-ibom-cj/ | 2022-08-18T01:45:26Z | https://punchng.com/lawyers-back-inibehes-action-against-akwa-ibom-cj/ | true | 1 |

TOKYO (AP) — Designer Hanae Mori, known for her elegant signature butterfly motifs, numerous cinema fashions and the wedding gown of a future Japanese empress, has died, local media reported Thursday. She was 96.
Mori symbolized the rise of Japan as a modern, fashionable nation and the rise of the working woman. The media reports said she died Aug. 11, but other details were not immediately available.
Empress Masako, then a commoner and former diplomat, wore a Hanae Mori wedding gown when she married then-Crown Prince Naruhito in 1993. Mori also designed uniforms for Japan Airlines flight attendants, bank clerks, high school students and the Japanese team at the Barcelona Olympics.
With her motto, “You feel decent, no matter where in the world you wear them,” Mori wanted to give confidence and dignity to the wearer. Her umbrellas and scarves, often decked with colorful butterflies, were popular with working women as a kind of status symbol.
She opened her studio in 1951 and was a pioneer of a generation of Japanese designers who became globally prominent. Her first New York show, held in 1965, was acclaimed as “East meets West.”
She opened her Paris studio in 1977 and built an international business that extended to perfumes and publishing as well as fashion.
Reputed for infusing Japanese elements inspired by the kimono, Mori designed costumes for hundreds of Japanese films, in the 1950s and 1960s, dressing star actresses like Mie Kitahara, Sayuri Yoshinaga and Shima Iwashita, in some of the most renowned cinematic pieces the era produced.
The elaborate costumes she designed for singer Hibari Misora are also well-known among fashion buffs. She also designed for the opera, including “Madame Butterfly” in Milan in 1985, and the Noh theater. In 2002, she was awarded the Legion of Honor from the French government.
She is survived by two sons, who are active in her fashion business, Japanese media said. Her husband Ken Mori died in 1996. Her grandchildren Izumi Mori and Hikari Mori are fashion models.

Purple Hearts director Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum has defended the Netflix film against criticism over misogynistic and racist themes.
The romance drama, which has been watched for more than 100 million hours on the streaming service, follows Cassie (Sofia Carson), a liberal aspiring musician who enters a “marriage of convenience” with conservative Marine Luke (Nicholas Galitzine).
At the start of the film, Cassie and Luke are portrayed as polar opposites, which includes their political views. In one scene during a going-away dinner, one of the Marines on Luke’s team makes a toast and says: “This one is to life, love and hunting down some goddamn Arabs, baby!”
Cassie calls the Marine out on the comment before she storms off, after Luke insists she backs down.
The film has been criticised for “painting racism as a simple flaw” while the character of Luke “stays the same”, according to a viewer on Twitter. Other users have criticised Purple Hearts for being “anti arab anti hispanic racist misogynistic AND pro military propaganda”.
Speaking to Variety in response to the criticism, Rosebaum said: “I hope that people understand that in order for characters to grow, they need to be flawed in the beginning. So we very much intentionally created two characters that had been bred to hate each other.
“They are flawed at the beginning and that was intentional. In order for the red heart and the blue heart to kind of turn purple, you have to have them be kind of extreme. Some of the people that they’re surrounded with are even more flawed than they are.
“They both have been neglected by the system; he’s hurt in a war that doesn’t seem to be ending and she’s slipping through the cracks of the healthcare system. So they’re both neglected by the system, and then they live under one roof, and in these extreme circumstances, they learn to become more moderate and to listen to each other and to love.”
Rosenbaum explains she wanted to depict a “very flawed” country, adding: “I do hope that anyone who’s in any way insulted by it understands that our intentions are very pure, and it’s because we feel like people need to grow and need to start to become more moderate.” | https://www.nme.com/en_asia/news/film/purple-hearts-director-defends-netflix-films-racism-backlash-3292530 | 2022-08-18T01:52:38Z | https://www.nme.com/en_asia/news/film/purple-hearts-director-defends-netflix-films-racism-backlash-3292530 | true | 4 |
Robert De Niro is set to play both lead roles in upcoming gangster drama Wise Guys, according to reports.
The actor, who made his name in crime dramas like Goodfellas, Casino and The Godfather Part II, will return to the genre for a film directed by Barry Levinson (Rain Man, Bugsy).

Wise Guys will follow the lives of Italian-American crime bosses Vito Genovese and Frank Costello, who both operated their respective families in the middle of the 20th century. In 1957, Genovese attempted and failed to assassinate Costello. The incident, however, led Costello to relinquish his power to Genovese and retire.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, De Niro will play both characters in the film. Nicholas Pileggi has written the script, while Irwin Winkler (Rocky) serves as producer.
De Niro previously teamed up with Levinson on 1997 black comedy film Wag The Dog, where he played a political spin doctor opposite Dustin Hoffman. Their other collaborations include 2008’s What Just Happened and HBO biopic The Wizard Of Lies.
The actor is set to team-up again with director Martin Scorsese on his next film, Killers Of The Flower Moon, set to be released next year.
Before that, De Niro’s next role will be in David O. Russell’s period comedy Amsterdam, which revolves around three friends who become prime suspects in a murder in the 1930s. The film’s ensemble cast includes Christian Bale, Margot Robbie, John David Washington, Chris Rock, Anya Taylor-Joy and Mike Myers.
Amsterdam is scheduled to be released in cinemas on October 7 in the US. | https://www.nme.com/en_asia/news/film/robert-de-niro-to-star-opposite-himself-in-gangster-drama-wise-guys-3292525 | 2022-08-18T01:52:44Z | https://www.nme.com/en_asia/news/film/robert-de-niro-to-star-opposite-himself-in-gangster-drama-wise-guys-3292525 | true | 4 |

Suspects accused of hate crimes in south Sacramento robberies that targeted Asian women
Prosecutors have added hate crime enhancements to criminal charges against two suspects accused of targeting Asian women in robberies as the victims left south Sacramento shopping centers.
Patrol officers in April and May responded to a series of robberies along the Stockton Boulevard corridor, the Sacramento Police Department announced Wednesday in a news release. Investigators believed the suspects were targeting Asian women leaving shopping centers.
Police said the suspects assaulted the women, causing injury and stealing thousands of dollars in cash, jewelry and other belongings. In at least one of the robberies, the victim told police the suspect had a handgun.
Detectives from the Police Department’s Neighborhood Crimes Unit in south Sacramento investigated the robberies and quickly identified the suspects’ vehicle, police said.
Another law enforcement agency helped the Police Department find the suspect vehicle. Detectives searched the vehicle and found evidence linked to the robberies.
The detectives later identified Latravion McCockran, 20, and a 17-year-old boy as the suspects in the robberies, according to the news release. Detectives served search warrants and recovered additional evidence.
The 17-year-old suspect was arrested June 15 in Berkeley. During that arrest, two others with the robbery suspect were illegally in possession of handguns and arrested.
Detectives arrested McCockran in Sacramento on June 22. Both suspects have remained in custody since their arrests. Police said the detectives continued their investigation and located additional evidence indicating the victims were targeted due to their race.
On Monday, the Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office added a hate crime enhancement to the robbery charges filed against both suspects, according to police.
This isn’t the first time women have been targeted in robberies in that area. A six-month investigation ended in early March with the arrest of a man suspected of targeting women in strong-arm robberies last year along Stockton Boulevard. | https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/suspects-accused-hate-crimes-south-013936947.html?src=rss | 2022-08-18T02:00:31Z | https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/suspects-accused-hate-crimes-south-013936947.html?src=rss | false | 1 |
COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP) — Los Angeles Chargers fans on Wednesday finally got to see what they had been hoping for three weeks into training camp — a smiling Derwin James running out to the field in his powder blue practice jersey, helmets and shoulder pads.
James took part in his first practice after signing a four-year, $76.5 million contract extension, making him the NFL’s highest-paid safety.
“This wasn’t like every other big contract that gets signed, because you know what he had to go through in order to make it to this point in his career,” coach Brandon Staley said. “He overcame a lot to earn this contract, and he earned every cent of it. He was a big, big leader for us today out there.”
The deal includes $42 million in guaranteed salary. James did not participate in the first three weeks of practice and took part only in walkthroughs as the two sides worked on an extension.
“I’m feeling amazing,” said James after the Chargers completed the first day of joint practices with the Dallas Cowboys. There was never a doubt in my mind (the deal would get done). I just tried to do what I could as a player to come out here every day and get better in the ways that I could.”
James’ deal eclipses the four-year, $72.98 million extension Pittsburgh’s Minkah Fitzpatrick signed in June. That included $36 million in guaranteed salary.
James took part in individual drills but none of the 7-on-7 or full-team drills against the Cowboys. Staley said James wouldn’t take part in team work until next week.
The Chargers have spent nearly $112 million in guaranteed salaries since the end of last season to improve a defense that was 23rd overall and near the bottom in key categories, including run defense, third down conversions and points allowed after halftime.
James — the defensive signal-caller in the huddle — will be counted on as the leader of a unit that made significant upgrades over the offseason. Los Angeles signed cornerback J.C. Jackson, defensive linemen Sebastian Jones-Day, Austin Johnson and Morgan Fox and edge rusher Kyle Van Noy, along with trading for linebacker Khalil Mack.
Staley on Tuesday stressed the importance of James, saying he is more than a safety and is a complete defensive back. Staley also called James “the heartbeat of our defense.”
James said he took those comments to heart.
“That’s a privilege to me for people to be able to think of you like that. I feel like that carries a lot of weight and just have to keep getting better and not be satisfied with it. Don’t get arrogant, just keep working and staying humble,” James said.
James — the 17th overall pick in the 2018 draft — didn’t participate in full-speed drills during the offseason program after having shoulder surgery once last season ended. He is cleared to go now that the contract issues are resolved.
James was an All-Pro selection as a rookie before being derailed the next two seasons because of injuries during training camp. A broken foot limited him to five games in 2019, and he suffered a season-ending knee injury in 2020.
Last season James bounced back and reclaimed his spot as one of the top safeties in the league. He was the eighth defensive player and first defensive back since 2000 to have more than 100 tackles (118) after being sidelined the previous year.
James also had two interceptions, a pair of sacks and three forced fumbles. He wore No. 33 his first four seasons before switching to No. 3, which he wore during high school and college.
The nearly two-hour practice between the Cowboys and Chargers was even-keeled, without any scuffles.
Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons said he was pleased with the session.
“I think today, we came out and really competed hard, especially made big strides from last week. … And I just felt like the energy was there, and that’s kind of like the standard we need to play with every game this year,” he said.
Chargers running back Austin Ekeler said it was good to come out against another team and see other looks.
“There’s a lot of learning. We didn’t know what they were going to come out in and they showed us some looks today, defensively, that we weren’t really prepared for. We were kind of figuring it out on the fly,” he said.
“That’s where you really see the true value in your team and how you can actually react and play under stress and under times where it’s not going your way and things aren’t maybe as planned out.”

Tired. Tired. Tired. Always tired? If that is the state you find yourself in, very often these days, then something is obviously not quite right with you.
I see a lot of people living like this - complaining but not taking it seriously enough to do something about it.
It is very important to figure out what is actually sapping your energy and exhausting you, to figure out how you can reverse it.
Feeling Tired Is Not A Serious Problem
This is a myth as constant, unexplained tiredness could be indicating a hidden issue, a not yet detected disorder like anaemia (due to low haemoglobin levels), thyroid, liver or kidney problem etc, a deep set deficiency of vitamin D or vitamin B12 (as these are crucial nutrients for the energy transfer process from the food to the cells), or an hormonal imbalance that needs to be looked into.
Often a traumatic event (like a divorce or death of a close one), too much stress, or an emotional trauma could have a say too.
Do this: If your tiredness is chronic, lasting more than six months, and is so severe that you can't manage your daily activities, then you need to see your doctor.
You Feel More Tired During The Monsoon Season
This is a fact as when it is hot and humid outside, more blood flows near the skin to help cool the body down and keep the body’s temperature normal.
As a result less blood reaches the muscles – and this could lead to lethargy. Plus not drinking enough water during this season can lead to dehydration and even mild dehydration can cause blood to thicken, forcing the heart to pump harder to carry blood to your cells and organs, resulting in fatigue.
Do this: In the July-August months (the wettest months), drink plenty of fluids and eat water logged foods (fruits and vegetables).
Cutting Off Fat Totally From The Diet Will Keep You More Active.
This is a myth as both eating excessive fat (makes you sluggish) as well as completely cutting it off are terrible ideas.
The truth is that including good fats in diet is essential to fight fatigue as they help reduce fluctuations in blood sugar levels and absorb essential for energy fat soluble vitamins in the body.
Do this: It helps to stick to the right kind – MUFA (Mono Unsaturated Fatty Acids) from plant based oils and nuts and seeds.
Poor Digestion Can Lead To Tiredness
This is a fact as healthy energy production begins with healthy digestion. Poor gut is a number one case for poor absorption of nutrients that are essential for feeling energetic.
Do this: Your gut batteries will charge up better if you eat small meals at right times of the day and load up on good fibre (switch to whole grains, have oats for breakfast and enough vegetables and fruits).
Also include probiotics (fermented foods like kanji, kimchi, sprouts, curd, idli, dhokla, miso soup etc) daily in your diet to help your good gut bacteria thrive.
Exercising Tires a Person More
This is a myth as actually the best prescription for combatting tiredness is regular exercise as that (or any physical activity) helps get the heart rate up, the blood flowing and release endorphins, all of which help to raise the energy level.
Do this: Begin some form of moderate exercise (daily walks or gymming etc), and see your fatigue magically dissolve. 30 minutes, five times a week is great!
Eating Breakfast Is Important
This is a fact as skipping breakfast (or in fact any meal) is a sure fire recipe for fatigue.
Food is fuel. It keeps your blood sugar in a normal range and prevents the sluggish feeling that a drop in blood sugar causes.
Do this: Never skip breakfast and make sure you plate right foods.
Try to include one protein, some good fats (seeds, nuts) and one complex carbohydrates (whole wheat, oats, quinoa, millets) source in your breakfast.
Being Sleep Deprived Can Make You Feel Tired.
This is a fact as getting too little sleep not just negatively affects your concentration, but sleep debt build up can lead to fatigue too.
Do this: Stick to regular sleep timings as far as possible and try to unwind and relax a bit after switching off the laptop for the night.
Make a rule: no TV watching or net surfing from at least half an hour before going to sleep; these stimulate your mind and interfere with sleep.
It is better to read a bit or listen to some soothing music at bed time.
Coffee Can Help Beat the Afternoon Slump
This is a myth as too much coffee does more harm than help; the caffeine in it gives you a temporary lift but a slump follows soon enough.
Plus caffeine is a diuretic and dehydrates the body, which can stress the energy reserves in the body, besides aggravating adrenal exhaustion, which may lead to low blood sugar and amplify fatigue further.
Do this: Go easy on the number of coffee cups in a day. And no caffeine after 4pm in the evening.
It Could Be A Sign Of A Food Allergy
This is a fact as after meals fatigue could be a sign of a mild intolerance or allergy to a particular food.
Red meat, eggs, soya products, wheat and dairy products are common food allergens.
Do this: Try eliminating suspect foods one at a time to see if your fatigue improves, and get a food allergy test.
Diet That Looks More White Than Brown Can Be A Culprit
This is a fact as refined foods zap energy levels and are major dietary contributors to fatigue. On the other hand whole foods do the opposite.
Do this: Add some bran in your atta and pick up the whole wheat pasta, ans ban junk foods.
Also go easy on sugar and refined foods as they suppress the immune system, increase inflammation, lead to a rapid rise in blood sugar, followed by a crash (hypoglycaemia), that can cause fatigue and anxiety.
Continued Stress Can Make You Tired
This is a fact as mental strain - stress, sadness, anger - can completely wear you out. An overworked adrenal gland (due to stress) leads to over secretion of the fight-or-flight hormones adrenaline – and this may lead to sluggishness.
Do this: Beginning today snap out of these debilitating emotions (vent your feelings, let go of grudges, meditate) to stop fatigue from homing in. Also take technology breaks.
A few times during the day, close your e-mail, get off the social media and power off your phone.
Lunch hour is a good opportunity to do this, or settle for a 1hour distraction-free window in the evening.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea’s president said Wednesday his government has no plans to pursue its own nuclear deterrent and called instead for more diplomacy in the face of growing North Korean nuclear weapons capabilities, even as the North test-fired two suspected cruise missiles.
The launches were detected from North Korea’s western coast hours before South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol used a news conference to urge Pyongyang to return to diplomacy aimed at exchanging denuclearization steps for economic benefits.
South Korea’s military, which didn’t reveal the launches until after Yoon’s remarks, provided no immediate flight details about the North’s weapons, including how they moved or how far they traveled.
Yoon’s office said his national security director, Kim Sung-han, discussed the launch with other senior officials before Yoon addressed reporters and that they reviewed the South’s military readiness. Tensions could further rise as the United States and South Korea kick off their biggest combined training in years next week 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.
Yoon during the news conference maintained a reserved tone on Pyongyang, saying Seoul doesn’t desire political change in North Korea that’s brought by force and that the rivals should aim at building sustainable peace.
Yoon’s comments followed his proposal on Monday for an “audacious” economic assistance package to North Korea if it abandons its nuclear weapons program. He has avoided harsh criticism of the North after it threatened “deadly” retaliation last week over a COVID-19 outbreak it blames on the South.
Yoon’s proposal for large-scale aid in food and healthcare and modernizing 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, 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 denuclearization process if the North commits to a genuine “roadmap” toward fully abandoning its weapons program.
“We are not telling them to ‘denuclearize entirely first and then we will provide,’” 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 denuclearization).”
Inter-Korean ties have worsened amid a stalemate in larger nuclear negotiations between North Korea and the U.S. that derailed in early 2019 because of disagreements over a relaxation of crippling U.S.-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 in nearly five years.
The heighted 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. 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 Kim’s 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. Kim has punctuated his weapons development with threats to proactively use his nuclear weapons in conflicts against the South or the U.S., which experts say communicate an escalating nuclear doctrine that could increase concerns for its neighbors.
Yoon has vowed to strengthen the South’s defenses through its alliance with the United States by resuming large-scale military training that was canceled or downsized during the Trump years and boosting the South’s missile defenses. The Biden administration has also reaffirmed U.S. commitments to defending South Korea and Japan, including “extended deterrence,” referring to an assurance to defend its allies with its full military capabilities, including nuclear.
But some experts say it’s becoming clear South Korea has no clear way to counter the leverage North Korea has with its nukes, expressing concerns that Washington might hesitate to defend its ally in the event of war when Kim’s ICBMs would pose a potential threat to mainland American cities.
Some South Koreans have called for the reintroduction of tactical U.S. nuclear weapons that were removed from the South in the 1990s, or for Seoul to pursue its own deterrent.
Yoon dismissed the possibility of the latter during the news conference, saying that Seoul will stay committed to an international treaty aimed at preventing the spread of nuclear weapons.
“I believe the NPT (Non-Proliferation Treaty) regime is a very important and necessary premise for permanent world peace,” Yoon said, expressing hope that the U.S. deterrence strategy for its allies could evolve to counter the North’s growing threat.
Yoon’s comments came after North Korea last week claimed a widely disputed victory over COVID-19 but also blamed South Korea for the outbreak. North Korea insists leaflets and other objects flown across the border by activists spread the virus, an unscientific claim Seoul describes as “ridiculous.”
North Korea has a history of dialing up pressure on South Korea when it doesn’t get what it wants from the United States, and there are concerns that North Korea’s threat portends a provocation, which could include a nuclear or missile test or even border skirmishes. Some experts say North Korea may stir up tensions around joint military exercises between the allies. | https://www.klfy.com/international/south-korean-leader-seoul-wont-seek-own-nuclear-deterrent/ | 2022-08-18T02:06:58Z | https://www.klfy.com/international/south-korean-leader-seoul-wont-seek-own-nuclear-deterrent/ | false | 39 |

Forex: Best strategic time to trade in the UK
Forex – or foreign exchange – is a 24-hour market because of the numerous locations of the world's major trading centres including London, New York, Tokyo, and Sydney.
Since there is no centralised forex exchange, it is considered an over-the-counter (OTC) market. To this end, the major forex centres’ banks, brokers, and market makers enable forex trading.
As such, trading hours are based on different time zones around the world, so you can trade forex at any time of the day or night. Here, experts Forex Brokers explain the various opening times of the forex market and the best times to trade forex in the UK.

Foreign exchange trading occurs 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Although each day is divided into several sessions, each session has a set amount of time that varies depending on the location of the user.
The weekday forex market at many UK Forex brokers is open from 9pm on Sunday until 10pm on Friday, except on holidays and special occasions.
To trade forex, there are three main trading timeslots: Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the United States. The Asia-Pacific session begins at 9pm UK time and ends at 6 a.m. U.K. time the following morning, with Sydney as the first stop.
London, the world's largest forex centre, opens at 8am and closes at 4pm. This session will end with New York trading closing at 9 p.m (UK time) before the Sydney session begins, with trading in New York beginning at 12pm.
The best time to trade Forex in the UK
When London opens at 8am, the UK forex market is at its busiest. Market participants will be interacting with one another, which means liquidity and volatility will likely be high at this point.
Around 10 am (UK time), trading typically becomes less liquid, and it picks back up around 12pm, when the American markets reopen.
The major crosses, such as GBP/USD and EUR/GBP, are frequently traded during the London session. When the London and New York markets meet, as well as the European session, which is open at nearly the same times as the London session, this is especially true.
Historically, the Tokyo-London crossover has been less busy than the London-New York crossover because London and New York trade more hours per day than Tokyo and London do.
Why Forex trading sessions matter
Due to increased trading activity during different sessions or when two sessions in different geographic locations cross, spreads on the forex market are tighter, even though it is open 24 hours a day.
For example, GBP/USD sees higher trading volume between 12pm and 4pm ET on days when both European and US trading sessions are open.
This is when the big institutions, like investment banks, are most active, and relevant economic data for each trading session is often released.
For example, major data releases in the United Kingdom are made available at 8.30am, while in the United States, numbers are typically made available between 11.30am and 2.30pm.
Because the market's reaction to these announcements can cause significant volatility, every forex trader in the UK should be aware of when they are made public so that they can respond accordingly. | https://www.chad.co.uk/business/forex-best-strategic-time-to-trade-in-the-uk-3810028 | 2022-08-18T02:25:37Z | https://www.chad.co.uk/business/forex-best-strategic-time-to-trade-in-the-uk-3810028 | false | 1 |
Jennifer Aniston looks in a bikini at 53
Jennifer Aniston unleashed the sigh of her followers after the “Friends” star showed off her figure while vacationing on the beach. The 53-year-old actress is one of the Hollywood figures who remains in excellent shape no matter how many years go by and with a pink bikini she showed that age does not matter to look beautiful and self-confident.

According to “E! News” Jenn’s companions are nothing more and nothing less than the actor Jason Bateman, his co-star in the film “The Switch” and “Horrible Bosses”, and his wife Amanda Anka, with whom he has a close friendship for a long time. many years.
But, as in everything, there is no deadline that is not met and the rest days are over for the actress who, at present, has concentrated on hosting the morning show “The Morning Show”, so, along with the photographs , wrote the caption: “Take us back.”
“You know, she’s supposedly famous and probably successful and you see the way she handles that with incredible normalcy and grounding,” the actor said in 2017, assuring that it was one of Aniston’s qualities that kept him very close. to her, because “it has taught her a lot about how to handle that and enjoy it without being too supportive.”
But now that Aniston is back in working life, she has hinted that she is preparing new projects, after the actress prepared a surprise for her father, actor John Aniston, whom she honored during this year’s Emmy Awards, for his career as an actor that began in 1962.

General News of Thursday, 18 August 2022

The Minister for Fisheries and Aquaculture Development, Hawa Koomson, has hinted that fishermen who persistently violate the fisheries law after the closed season will face stiffer punishment.
According to her, the ministry is in talks with the law courts to propose more stringent punitive measures for those caught breaching the laws.
She noted that the move is aimed at deterring fishermen from emulating the bad example of their colleagues.
Offenders should expect harsh prison sentencing with a maximum of six months henceforth since the fines are not punitive enough.
Hawa Koomson made this statement when she presented fishing items such as gear nets, basins and fridges to the National Fish Processors And Traders Association in the Western Region to support them after the one-month closed season.
She lamented that the close season is a way of helping the fishes in the sea to reproduce, but is very surprised that some fishermen in the country still engage in the use of illegal methods such as light fishing, the use of dynamite and other unapproved gears in fishing.
“The fishermen are still doing the wrong things at sea and I have cautioned them that if they keep at it, we shall implement more deterrent measures such as a prison sentence of between three to six months”, she warned.
She mentioned that over 20,000 bags of rice and cooking oils were distributed this year to all four coastal regions to cushion fishermen and persons in the industry during the closed season.
She stressed that the continuous use of DDT and dynamite among other unacceptable methods for fishing waters down the government’s efforts to boost the industry.
She, therefore, tasked the Fisheries Enforcement Unit to do their work effectively by arresting any fisherman engaging in illegal fishing.
Acting President for the National Canoe Fishermen Council, Jojo Duncan, also addressed the gathering and asked the fishermen to be obedient to the laws.
Mr. Duncan said that the whole community must be each other’s keepers and report offenders or risk losing benefits that may accrue to all. | https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/We-shall-implement-stringent-measures-to-deter-those-breaking-fisheries-law-Hawa-Koomson-1605065 | 2022-08-18T02:37:34Z | https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/We-shall-implement-stringent-measures-to-deter-those-breaking-fisheries-law-Hawa-Koomson-1605065 | true | 6 |

Mumbai: Bollywood stars Vicky Kaushal and Sidharth Malhotra graced the latest `Punjabi-Munde` edition episode of Koffee with Karan Season 7 and revealed some interesting details about their love lives. Vicky talked about his wedding and life after his marriage with Katrina Kaif on Karan's show.
In the episode, Karan asked Vicky how it feels to be married to Katrina Kaif. In response to the question, Vicky revealed, "It actually does feel great. I really truly do feel settled. It`s a very beautiful feeling to kind of have that companion. And I just feel truly lucky to just find that in her - life partner. She is a wonderful soul and one of the wisest and the most compassionate person I have ever come across."
He further went on saying,"I really learn from her a lot and she really grounds me. She is like a mirror to me. She would state out hard facts which I need to know and hear. And you always need that person with you. I truly feel fortunate to have her as my life partner."
KJo aka Karan Johar further went and asked the `Uri` star if he had ever imagined that he would marry Katrina one day, Vicky further went and answered, "Whatever happened last season on this couch--it was really my moment to know that she knows about me. We had never met before that."

US to hold trade talks with Taiwan in new show of support
BEIJING (AP) — The U.S. government has announced talks with Taiwan on a trade treaty in a new sign of support for the self-ruled island democracy claimed by China’s ruling Communist Party as part of its territory.
The announcement Thursday comes after Beijing held military drills that included firing missiles into the seas around Taiwan in an attempt to intimidate the island after a visit by U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the highest-level member of the U.S. government to visit Taiwan in 25 years.
Thursday’s announcement by the U.S. Trade Representative made no mention of tension with Beijing but said the negotiations were meant to enhance trade and regulatory cooperation, a step that would entail closer official interaction.
The United States has no official relations with Taiwan but maintains extensive informal contacts through the unofficial American Institute in Taiwan. Washington is obligated by federal law to see that the island has the means to defend itself.
Taiwan and China split in 1949. The island never has been part of the People’s Republic of China, but the Communist Party says it is obligated to rejoin the mainland, by force if necessary.
The talks also will cover agriculture, labor, the environment, digital technology, the status of state-owned enterprises and “non-market policies,” the USTR said.

The BC Tree Fruits packing house in the Kelowna, Lake Country area will be closing this fall.
With that closure, the BC Tree Fruits Cooperative has decided to invest in the Oliver facility which will include state-of-the-art technology.
The cooperative will not go ahead with a 2019 plan to create a Kelowna facility which was to have state-of-the-art packing lines, a cidery and more.
The BC Tree Fruits Cooperative (BCTFC) purchased 85 acres of land on Old Vernon Road that was to be used to consolidate all of their northern facilities. At the time the consolidation was part of its “One Roof” plan, according to BCTFC.
Andre Scheepers, chair of the board of directors said, the cooperative is envisioning many options for the Kelowna location that would help diversify the business as well as benefit growers.
“BC Tree Fruits Cooperative will continue to have roots in Kelowna well into the future.”
This decision to close the Lake Country plant and invest in Oliver came as the cooperative needed to take strategic steps to ensure the future of BC Tree Fruits.
According to Scheepers, it will continue to serve growers across the Okanagan, Similkameen and Creston areas through the expanded Oliver packing facility along with satellite receiving and storage sites throughout the valleys.
He said, until recently, management and the board collectively believed that a new build in Kelowna was the best course of action.
“However, the sharp rise in construction costs and interest rates along with changes in the industry made the plan for a new build far too risky,” he said. “The board of directors and management are confident that the expansion of our Oliver packing facility will give us the capacity and efficiencies needed to service our customers while delivering solid income back to our growers.”
Scheepers added that modernizing the Oliver facility it would allow for the re-investment of funds in growers and diversification.

NEW YORK, Aug. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The ONLINE EDUCATION MARKET value is set to grow by USD 121.85 billion from 2020 to 2025, as per the latest report by Technavio. The Y-O-Y growth rate of 2021 was estimated at 11.11%. The online education market share growth by the primary and secondary supplemental education segment will be significant during the forecast period. 37% of the market's growth will originate from APAC during the forecast period. Furthermore, this report extensively covers online education market segmentation by Type (primary and secondary supplemental education (PSSE), reskilling and online certifications (ROC), higher education, test preparation, and language and casual learning (LCL)), and Geography (North America, APAC, Europe, South America, and MEA). The online education market report also offers information on several market vendors, including 2U Inc., Ambow Education Holding Ltd., Coursera Inc., edX Inc., iTutorGroup, LinkedIn Corp., McGraw-Hill Education Inc., Pearson Plc, Udacity Inc., and Udemy Inc. among others. The growing popularity of education apps is one of the key trends supporting the online education market share growth.
- Growing advantages of online learning
Owing to the high cost and limited accessibility associated with traditional printed textbooks, educational institutions are increasingly focusing on online education. Vendors also provide audio-visual content and simulation learning platforms, which can be customized as per the school's curriculum. The availability of various support solutions, such as learning management solution (LMS) and enterprise resource planning (ERP), as well as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), blended learning solutions, and student assessment software, has further played a major role in enhancing the demand for online education by various schools and universities.
- Outbreak of COVID -19 globally
- Rapid penetration of Internet-enabled devices
- Inadequate cybersecurity measures
With the increased digitization of education, the threats related to information security, unwarranted access, and student data privacy have increased. The key reasons for the vulnerability of the educational sector to cyberattacks include the availability of valuable user and organizational data, the lack of a centralized structure for data storage, and the unregulated use of personal digital devices. The major sources of cybersecurity threats to educational content include malware viruses, such as WannaCry, through social media, the virtualization of systems, and the consumerization of IT. Hence, the inadequacy of the cybersecurity measures adopted by educational institutions and individual learners is expected to hamper the growth of the global online education market during the forecast period.
- Limited demand from developing economies
- Accreditation and recognition issues with online certificates

Any one of the four drugs found in a man's system after he died in a car crash on the Bass Highway earlier this year would have significantly affected his driving, a coroner has said.

Coroner Simon Cooper said Peter Andrew Healey had a combination of methylamphetamine, cannabis, diazepam and lorazepam in his system, and he was driving at a minimum speed of 140km/h when he crashed off the highway at Christmas Hills on January 16 this year.
"Any of those drugs alone are capable of having a significant effect on driving," the coroner said.
"The crash which caused Mr Healey's death was entirely his own fault."
Mr Cooper said Mr Healey was a driving a car that was mechanically sound in good weather and on a good road.
But the combination of impairment due to drugs and speed "directly" caused his death.
"Mr Healey's death resulted directly from excessive speed and inattention on his part," he said.
"I am satisfied that his driving was significantly impaired by prescription and illicit drugs.
"No other person caused or contributed to the happening of the crash."
Mr Cooper said Mr Healey was not, and had never been licensed to drive a car.
He thanked Tasmania Police first class Constable Nigel Housego for his investigation of the crash, and said the circumstances did not require him to make any comments or recommendations.

NEW HAVEN — In an at-times tumultuous meeting, the Tweed New Haven Airport Authority approved a new 43-year lease and management agreement with a subsidiary of its longtime contract operator, Goldman Sachs-owned Avports LLC, on Wednesday, opening the door for a $100 million airport expansion.
The meeting took place with East Haven Mayor Joe Carfora speaking forcefully against the lease and expansion and all four East Haven-appointed members voting no. A number of airport neighbors and other residents showed up at the airport despite the fact that the meeting was held virtually via Zoom and also spoke against expansion after being admitted into the Zoom meeting.
The vote came after the East Haven appointees failed in an attempt to table the lease — and most other actions at the meeting — on the basis that airport officials didn’t give them enough time to review 660 pages of material sent to them Sunday.
“When the Authority and Avports first announced this historic partnership last year, we had one goal: give the people of southern Connecticut the airport they want and deserve,” said Tweed Authority Executive Director Sean Scanlon in a release issued immediately after the vote. “Today’s vote is yet another positive step in that direction.
“An improved Tweed will provide the air service that southern Connecticut has asked for, and it will spur continued economic development and job growth along the way,” said Scanlon, who is expected to leave his position if he is elected state treasurer in November. “We have more steps ahead and will continue working with all our local partners as this successful project proceeds.”
“While you would say that this has been rushed, I would say that what we’re talking about today is the same thing we stood up and talked about in May of 2021,” Scanlon said at the meeting, addressing concerns raised by both airport neighbors and East Haven members of the authority board.
“Nothing in this is definite,” he said, pointing out that “we’re still doing an environmental assessment ... If anything is found not to be environmentally sound, it won’t happen,” Scanlon said. “ Tonight is just moving the process forward. It is not the final vote on the project.”
Authority Chairman John Picard, former mayor of West Haven, said at the end of meeting, “We volunteer and we really do what we feel is best ... for the region and for all of us, and we’re going to continue to do what we feel is best.”
Picard, who at the end of the meeting was unanimously reelected as chairman, said in the release, “Our focus in expanding the airport is to offer people more choices and more destinations, while remaining convenient and an economic driver for our local communities. We’ve been grateful for our long-term partnership with Avports and will continue to provide top-notch air travel experiences and services for our community.”
Avports CEO Jorge Roberts said, “We are excited to enter into this new agreement with Tweed and our partners in local government. This lease agreement provides a first-of-its-kind flexibility to airport municipalities. We recognize our responsibility to ensure a sustainable airport and to expand upon Avports’ track record as a leader in environmental, social, and governance principles. The future is very bright at HVN.”
The authority, through the long-term sublease and development agreement, will cede control of certain portions of the airport to The New HVN LLC, a new corporation that is a subsidiary of Avports LLC.
Avports, owned by a subsidiary of Goldman Sachs, has managed Tweed for the past 23 years. As part of the agreement, it will invest money in airport operation and expansion, eliminating $1.8 million in annual city and state subsidies.
The plans calls for a broader partnership under which Avports will invest about $100 million to extend the usable length of Tweed’s runway from 5,600 feet to 6,635 feet by paving currently grassy runway safety area.
They also call for Avports to build a new 74,000-square-foot, carbon-neutral terminal with four to six departure gates on the East Haven side of the airport, with a new entrance to be constructed off Proto Drive in East Haven.
Avports also would be fully responsible for Tweed’s operating expenses, eliminating the need for subsidies.
The lease and development agreement lays out what The New HVN LLC would spend on community benefits, including $1.5 million on traffic management — split between New Haven and East Haven — $1.5 million on noise mitigation, expanding it to include full blocks when part of a block qualifies, $1.75 million as an “unassigned” community benefit for smaller issues in either New Haven or East Haven, and $250,000 for general aviation noise abatement.
The reactions of the New Haven and East Haven mayors could not have been more different.
“Today’s announcement is one more important step forward toward ensuring long-term stability at Tweed Airport that will grow our local economy, provide high-quality travel options for residents, good-paying jobs for families and address critical noise, traffic, safety and financial concerns as well,” said New Haven Mayor Justin Elicker.
“I am thankful for the partnership and commitments made by the Tweed Board of Directors and Avports, and today’s lease approval is a meaningful milestone toward responsible growth and a long-term partnership at Tweed-New Haven Airport,” Elicker said.
Carfora told the authority, “I want it to be clear to my constituents: I am against the expansion of this airport to the East Haven side. I have asked consistently for a shared burden — and our requests have been uniformly denied. This agreement is being rushed, meetings and engagement were limited leading up to this vote using COVID-19 and remote meetings in order to limit transparency.
“The facts about how it is before you today are astounding,” Carfora said. “We were denied access to it last week by Mr. Scanlon. It was relayed to us Sunday, not enough time for any of our board members to fully digest and seek interpretation on what is contained in this document or its impact on the town. Having said that, it does not take an expert to see that there is not shared burden.
“East Haven takes it on the chin while we will inherit all the traffic, transient population, parking headaches, ecological strip-mining, noise, pollution and burden on our already taxed public safety departments that will come with this project, while at the same time giving New Haven most of the economic benefit, serving at the behest of Yale and Goldman Sachs,” Carfora said.
“I have said all along that I wanted to be a good neighbor,” he said. “It is simply not possible given the way this lease is being handled. Our town has signed nothing. We have agreed to nothing. We have hired specialized counsel, and federal aviation counsel. All avenues will be taken to protect our community.
“East Haven is not afraid of a street fight; we never have been,” Carfora said, “but it is clear that Mr. Picard, Mr. Scanlon, Mayor Elicker have partnered with Yale, AvPorts, and Goldman Sachs to create a plan that not only hurts the quality of life in East Haven, but also the quality of life for an entire section of the city of New Haven.”
He also revealed that “prior to this meeting, the Town of East Haven sent Mr. Scanlon, Mr. Picard” and other officials “a litigation hold letter to preserve any and all communications regarding this matter, and most importantly everything leading up to it.”
In addition to the lease and development agreement, the authority passed resolutions to approve an amended and restated lease between the city and the authority, accept a federal Small Community Air Service Development Program grant, create a new Advisory Committee made up largely of former board members, amend the authority’s bylaws, approve an amendment to the agreement with Avports and publish rules, regulations and minimum standards for the airport.
East Haven authority members Ken Dagliere, Linda Hennessey, Town Council member Ray Pompano and Kevin Coyle, led by Dagliere, tried unsuccessfully to table all of those resolutions, saying in each case they did not have enough time to read and digest them. Each vote failed and each subsequent motion to approve a resolution passed by a 9-4 vote.
The authority also unanimously elected Guilford First Selectman Matt Hoey to serve as vice chairman, former New Haven city official Serena Neal-Sanjurjo to serve as treasurer and East Haven appointee and former Town Council member Hennessey to serve as secretary.
About 20 members of the public spoke prior to the votes, with all but about four of them speaking against expansion and/or what they felt was the authority “rushing” to approve the lease and development agreement.
“I’m appalled that some of these members are on here today,” said East Haven resident and frequent Tweed critic Lorena Venegas, referring to several board members whose terms have expired but have yet to be replaced. She said the agreement and expansion are premature because “you cannot doing anything with ... Avports without having an entrance and egress from East Haven.”
“I am just appalled at the behavior of the board, Tweed and the town of New Haven, the way they treat the residents,” said East Haven resident Jean Edwards-Chieppo. “It’s as if they do not matter, they do not exist.”
“It is appalling! Find your conscience. It’s absolutely diabolical,” Chieppo said. “This is not a joke. It’s our lives.”
Garrett Sheehan, president of the Greater New Haven Chamber of Commerce, spoke in favor of the lease agreement, saying it would continue the controlled growth” taking place at Tweed.
Barbara Malmberg of East Haven, a project manager for REX Development in New Haven, said she bought her home near the airport because she wanted easy access to flights. “REX Development supports the responsible growth of the region” and “this is an opportunity to make that happen, big-time,” she said.
Lisa Bassani, of New Haven’s Morris Cove section, said of Tweed neighbors, “We feel disregarded. We feel unheard ... We live here. We live in the community. It’s a residential neighborhood. We have a K-8 school here. We have a church here ... We have not been heard.”
