A 200 year old Chorley pub could soon be converted to housing after its owners ruled it to be unsustainable.
Admiral Taverns closed the former Seven Stars in April and its permanent closure has moved one step closer with the submission of a planning application to Chorley Borough Council. The pub is located on Eaves Road and could soon be converted to 10 houses in multiple occupation (HMOs), also known as bedsits.
The pub, which has served the community since 1835 but likely much earlier, was listed for sale in March with an asking price of £150,000. Owners Admiral went on to explain that the pub did not have a viable future. A spokesperson said: “Our focus is always on helping our licensees to run sustainable pub businesses.

"However, after careful consideration we felt in this instance that the Seven Stars did not have a long-term sustainable future and therefore we’ve taken the decision to put the pub up for sale.”
The pub closed down with just two week’s notice for punters in April. A post on the pub’s Facebook page explained: “Well after 5 years of being here we are unfortunately saying good bye as Seven Stars is closing. So why not come join us on April 17 for our final hurrah at Seven Stars.
“Come say good bye to staff and management. Buffet food, music and karaoke from 7 till late. Thank you for the support over the years.”
The pub’s online listing has since been removed and the application for the change of use for the building has been submitted by Watford-based Lewis Bird. Chorley Borough Council will decide the application, with anyone wishing to comment for or against the proposal needing to do by August 31.

PITTSBURGH — In the grand scheme of things, Thursday’s 8-2 loss against the Pittsburgh Pirates didn’t mean much.
Having already taken the first two in Pittsburgh to clinch their third straight series win, the Red Sox laid an egg in the series finale. Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds hit a pair of two-run home runs, giving him three in two days, Red Sox starting pitcher Josh Winckowski was tagged for six runs over five uninspiring innings, and a promising bases-loaded rally petered out after only a Tommy Pham RBI single and a Rafael Devers sacrifice fly.
It wasn’t the type of performance the Red Sox were looking for, but every team is going to lose from time to time and for the most part the club has been moving in the right direction.
But the games to come? They might wind up being among the most important the Red Sox play all season.
The Red Sox are about to enter a stretch of 12 straight games against AL Wild Card contenders they are currently chasing in the standings. This weekend they’ll play three games against Baltimore, then they’ll open a six-game homestand against Toronto and Tampa Bay, and after that they’ll wrap up August with three games in Minnesota.
If the Red Sox are serious about making the playoffs, these are the games they need to win.
“Now you’ve got to win series to gain ground these are the teams that are ahead of us,” said Red Sox manager Alex Cora. “We did a good job here, obviously ehh, today wasn’t great, but you see the positive, two out of three. Now you’ve got to get ready for Baltimore, you win that series and [the next two] and you’re in a good place.
“It’s time to go,” he continued. “We’re playing good baseball, today wasn’t great but overall the last two have been solid.”
So far Boston hasn’t enjoyed much success against any of their playoff rivals. The club is 4-5 against the Orioles, 3-10 against the Blue Jays and 2-8 against the Rays, and those struggles are the main reason why Boston is currently a game below .500 and on the fringe of contention.
Now five games back of the final playoff spot with four teams to jump, the Red Sox are facing an uphill climb with time running short, but if the club can take advantage of this latest opportunity they may yet have a chance to get back into the hunt.
“We have our work cut out for us,” said designated hitter J.D. Martinez. “We’ve got Trevor [Story] back coming up, so that will be a plus, and we’ll see what happens.”

Alec Baldwin talks ‘Rust’ shooting with Chris Cuomo
( NewsNation ) — “Every single person” on the “Rust” movie set knows what happened the day cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was shot, actor Alec Baldwin said in an interview with incoming NewsNation host Chris Cuomo on his podcast.
Speaking on Cuomo’s podcast “The Chris Cuomo Project,” Baldwin said, “The people who are talking the loudest about what happens or speculating about what happened were not on the set of the film.”
“The LA Times, The Hollywood Reporter, they are talking on and on about this,” he said. “The thing that they have in common was no one was there.”
The actor fatally shot Hutchins on Oct. 21 while filming for the movie “Rust.” Director Joel Souza was also wounded when the Colt .45-caliber revolver went off.
Baldwin said in an ABC interview in December that he never pulled the trigger, but an FBI report released this week said otherwise. It concluded that the gun could not have been fired without pulling the trigger.
Baldwin’s lawyer, in a statement to NPR, called the FBI’s findings “misconstrued” and said the gun was in “poor condition.”
Speaking to Cuomo, Baldwin broke down what “fanning a gun” can look like and how that may have contributed to what happened.
“In old Western movies, you would see someone fan the hammer of the gun,” Baldwin said.
FBI: Alec Baldwin pulled trigger in deadly ‘Rust’ shootingIf the hammer didn’t lock, and someone pulled it back far enough, it would fire the bullet without someone having to pull the trigger, Baldwin explained.
“The man who is the principal safety officer of the set of the film declared the gun was safe when he handed it to me,” Baldwin said. “The man who was the principal safety officer of the film declared in front of the entire assemblage, ‘This is a cold gun.’ Now, why did he say that if he didn’t know and hadn’t checked? The point is we were told everything was cool and you can relax and we are working with a gun that is safe to rehearse with.”
For Baldwin, there is only one question to ask now: “Who put a live round in the gun?”
“What is likely is that someone who was responsible for one situation or one line of responsibility and the other person — a tandem of the two people — one of them or both were negligent,” Baldwin said.
New Mexico’s Office of the Medical Investigator ruled the shooting an accident after completing an autopsy and review of law enforcement reports. Prosecutors have not yet made a decision about any charges, and police are waiting to receive data from Baldwin’s cellphone before completing the investigation.
Baldwin’s legal team suggested the medical investigator’s report was further proof that the shooting was “a tragic accident” and that he should not face criminal charges.
“This is the third time the New Mexico authorities have found that Alec Baldwin had no authority or knowledge of the allegedly unsafe conditions on the set, that he was told by the person in charge of safety on the set that the gun was ‘cold,’ and believed the gun was safe,” attorney Luke Nikas said in a statement.
Multiple agencies launched investigations into the shooting, and in April, New Mexico workplace safety regulators fined the production company more than $136,000 and outlined a litany of safety failures that took place on the set. There were two misfires on set prior to the fatal shooting, according to the report.
In all his years making movies, Baldwin said he’s never before had “one problem” with these kinds of props.
“Why would anybody believe that I worked in this business for 40 years and that day I decided to play with a gun?” he asked. “That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.”
Despite this, Baldwin said there are people who have seized on the opportunity to use the shooting against him.
Anne Heche dead at 53; actress removed from life support after organs harvested“We’ve come down to a point where it doesn’t matter what you do. This is something that was a delight to the people who hate my guts politically,” he said, pointing out how former President Donald Trump claimed that Baldwin “may have had something to do with” the shooting. Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., even made T-shirts mocking the incident that were sold on his website.
“It doesn’t matter what you do, the ones who are out to get you are out to get you,” Baldwin said.
Reflecting on this “cancel culture,” Baldwin attributed it to social media and the current political climate, especially the “disconnect” between politicians and the average person.
People don’t think politicians “who are bought and owned by the people who put them in office” will listen to them or pass laws in their interest, Baldwin said.
So instead, he said the average person uses “cancel culture, ending your career, saying something that will have some impact” to make their voices heard.
Judge rejects former Waterbury mayor’s request for release from prisonStill, Baldwin, on Cuomo’s podcast, insisted: “I’m not the real victim here.”
“Things for me are going to get better,” he said. “Things for me are going to get cleared up, I’m 1000% confident of that. Nothing’s going to bring this woman back. She died. She has a little boy. This is the real tragedy.”
Hutchins’ shooting death was a reminder of the dangers that can be present on film sets, which have resulted in deaths in the past . Most notably, actor Brandon Lee died in 1993 after he was shot on the set of “The Crow” when a makeshift bullet was mistakenly left in a gun.

Adesanya Breaks Down Costa/Rockhold At UFC 278
UFC Middleweight Champion Israel Adesanya has provided a breakdown and prediction for this weekend’s 185-pound collision between Paulo Costa and Luke Rockhold. Whilst he’s got his own fight to look forward to later this year — a title defense against two-time kickboxing rival Alex Pereira at UFC 281 in New York — Adesanya will certainly have interest in this Saturday’s event, during which former opponent Costa will look to push towards another crack at gold.

SOUTH BEND, Ind.—Porter Hodge tossed five dominant innings, and the South Bend Cubs’ bullpen held the Beloit Sky Carp to just one run over four innings to win 6-1 Thursday.
The Cubs took back sole possession of first place in the West Division in the Midwest league just one game after Beloit caught up to them with a win on Tuesday.
South Bend jumped ahead early with an RBI single from BJ Murrary Jr. in the second. Pete Crow-Armstrong tripled to right field in the third and scored on a throwing error by second baseman Federico Polanco. Luis Verdugo doubled later in the inning to bump the lead to 3-0.
Beloit starter Edgar Sanchez pitched five innings while allowing three runs on four hits and four base on balls.
South Bend continued to build on its lead off reliever Chris Mokma in the sixth when Jordan Nwogu tripled to center field and scored on a wild pitch.
The Sky Carp loaded the bases with one out in the eighth after back-to-back singles by Victor Mesa Jr. and Bennett Hostetler and a walk by Zach Zubia. Kyler Castillo hit a sacrifice fly to end the shutout, but Polanco grounded out to end the chance of a comeback.
Pablo Aliendo hit a two-run homer off reliever Joey Steele in the eighth to solidify a 6-1 win.
Hodge went five innings while only allowing one hit, but he walked six batters.
Beloit was held to only three total hits, with Hostetler grabbing two of them. The Sky Carp drew an impressive eight total walks but were 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position, and they left 10 runners on base. Zubia led the team with three walks.
The Sky Carp will continue the battle for first place with a doubleheader Friday in South Bend. Game one will start at 4:35 p.m. | https://www.beloitdailynews.com/sports/south-bend-cubs-pitching-dominant-as-beloit-sky-carp-fall-6-1/article_cdc72268-1f5e-11ed-83ff-078e0acd740e.html | 2022-08-19T04:38:55Z | https://www.beloitdailynews.com/sports/south-bend-cubs-pitching-dominant-as-beloit-sky-carp-fall-6-1/article_cdc72268-1f5e-11ed-83ff-078e0acd740e.html | false | 1 |

The Orville: Seth MacFarlane Calls Season 4 a "Blank Slate"
Season three of The Orville, or as it's now known The Orville: New Horizons, has just wrapped up and fans are wondering if the series will return with even more episodes in the near future. In a surprise move, series creator and star Seth MacFarlane remains unsure about the show's potential for more and has now said as much in an interview. When asked by TV Line if the fourth season of the show would upgrade two key characters to series regulars, MacFarlane offered a shrug: "That's a tough one, because I don't know. Season 4 is a blank slate."
MacFarlane adds, "It's tough to chart what exactly what a Season 4 would be, because when we started writing Season 3, half the stuff that happened — the shifting of the Alliances, the Kaylon becoming an ally, the Moclans becoming enemies — I never could have predicted. It's just something that came about in the writers room over time. Certainly we set up threads this year, and most were pretty obvious, that lend themselves to payoffs in a Season 4, but how everything intertwines and evolves and develops…. I don't even know if we're picked up!"
The Emmy-winning writer previously pegged the odds of a renewal for the series at "50-50," but since all three seasons of the series are now streaming on Disney+ in addition to Hulu there could be even more eyeballs on it than ever.
"From a storytelling standpoint, it's much better for me because the biggest issue I have with, particularly, the prevalence of streaming programming, there's some talented writers working on network dramas, but the problem is that you have to cut everything down to exactly 43 minutes," MacFarlane told ComicBook.com previously about the series moving to streaming. "That's not how storytelling works. It doesn't. Not every story wants to be the same length and if you have a scene that's playing really great, that's emotional and you take your time with it. and it really makes the audience feel something, you may have to cut something down that really should not be cut down."

Making the right decision in the investment market is no easy task. Investors must wade into a sea of often contradictory data and locate the kernels of fact that can point toward a stock’s likely future. Finding a semblance of sense and pattern in the jumble of raw information is the necessary prerequisite for success. This is where the TipRanks Smart Score comes in.
Using a set of proprietary algorithms, the Smart Score collects a range of data for every stock – and sorts it according to 8 factors that are known to influence stock price. The result is a single distilled score, on a 1 to 10 scale, that can tell an investor at a glance the general health of a stock. And a look behind the score is easy to do, and add context to a stock’s performance.
So let’s get an early start on this, and look ‘under the hood’ at 2 stocks that are sending bullish signals to investors – with their ‘Perfect 10’ Smart Scores.
Arhaus, Inc. (ARHS)
The first stock we’ll look at is Arhaus, a furniture company based in Ohio and offering its products through 80 showroom stores across the US. The company produces and markets a wide range of furniture for both the home and patio, including full sets for home offices, bedrooms, and living and dining rooms. Arhaus prides itself for working with small artisans around the world on its product sourcing.
While Arhaus maintains a sizable network of brick-and-mortar locations, the company also keeps strong e-commerce segment. Overall, Arhaus works hard at its preferred mode of direct-to-consumer sales. With a long-standing reputation for customer-centered service, innovative product designs, and responsible sourcing, the company has had a high measure of success at this preferred business model.
That success can be seen in latest quarterly financials, for 2Q22. The report showed revenues powering forward by 66% year-over-year to reach $306 million; this made up a significant portion of the year’s six-month gain of 55.5%; from Jan 1 to June 30, Arhaus brought in $553 million at the top line. The company’s net income hit $37 million for the quarter, or 28 cents per share, up 12% y/y.
Peter Keith, 5-star analyst with Piper Sandler, lays out several reasons why Arhaus should continue to bring solid returns for investor, writing: “We think ARHS continues to execute at a high level with (1) New product introductions; (2) Enhanced marketing with improving return on ad spend; & (3) Improved website. Also, we believe ARHS's value proposition has never been stronger given 50% of its sales are sourced in the US allowing for fewer price increases vis-a-vis the competition.”
Alongside these comments, Keith gives this stock an Overweight (i.e. Buy) rating. His price target, of $12, suggests that ARHS has a one-year upside of 34%. (To watch Keith’s track record, click here)
Wall Street finds itself in broad agreement with the bullish view here – of the 6 recent analyst reviews on record, 5 are to Buy against just 1 Hold, for a Strong Buy consensus rating. The stock is selling for $8.92 and its average price target of $11 implies a 23% one-year gain. (See ARHS stock analysis on TipRanks)
The Chef’s Warehouse (CHEF)
Next up is a company that lives in the world of specialty food distribution. The Chef’s Warehouse has operations and locations in major metro areas of the US and Canada; the company got started 30 years ago as a source and distributor of food products for high-end chefs, and today serves top restaurants, hotels, caterers, and gourmet retailers across North America.
This service-oriented company has benefited greatly from the end of COVID restriction and the return to a more normal business climate. The result can be seen in the pattern of quarterly revenue results: steady year-over-year gains for the past two years.
In 2Q22, the most recent quarter, CHEF’s top and bottom line results both beat the industry forecasting. Revenues hit $648.1 million, up 53% year-over-year and some 8% percent above the estimates. At the bottom line, earnings of 51 cents per share clobbered the 35-cent forecast – and came in almost 13x higher than the year-ago quarter’s 4-cent result.
Even better, the company has raised its full year financial guidance, predicting between $2.375 billion and $2.475 billion in total sales for 2022 (up from $2.13 billion to $2.23 billion), and a gross profit between $553 million and $576 million (up from $500 million and $524 million).
BTIG’s 5-star analyst Peter Saleh notes all of this, and does not hold back from rating this company as a Buy. The $46 price target he assigns implies room for ~37% growth in the coming year. (To watch Saleh’s track record, click here)
Backing his stance, Saleh writes, “We believe the current [share] price doesn't accurately reflect the sales strength and trajectory of the business... We believe the outlook could still prove somewhat conservative as business events and travel resume as we progress into the fall. Flowing through the upside from this quarter places us at the high-end of the new guidance range, so while we have been impressed by the pace of sales growth and margin progression, we are not convinced this is the last of it.”
Overall, CHEF sock has picked up 4 recent analyst reviews, and they are all positive, giving it a unanimous Strong Buy consensus rating. CHEF shares are currently priced at $33.78 and their $47.75 average price target suggests a 12-month upside potential of 41%. (See CHEF stock analysis on TipRanks)

Higher fuel prices loom as KPC plans tariffs raise
Kenyans could be hit with higher fuel prices over the next three years should the Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) be given the nod to increase the transportation and storage tariffs for the products.
The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) says KPC has applied for a review of the transportation and storage tariffs for the period 2021/22 to 2024/25.
Epra said KPC aims to use revenue from the proposed tariff – initially submitted in January and amended last month – to partly fund the enhancement of the firm’s pipeline between Mombasa and Nairobi.
KPC contracted Lebanese firm Zakhem International Construction for the multi-phased construction of the 450-kilometre oil pipeline at a cost of Sh48 billion in July 2014.
“In January 2022, Epra received an application from KPC for the review of the pipeline transportation and secondary storage tariffs of the period 2021/22 to 2024/25,” said Epra Director-General Daniel Kiptoo (below) in a notice.
“KPC further submitted an amended tariff application dated July 18, 2022 taking into consideration capital expenditure provision for capacity enhancement of the eastern (Mombasa-Nairobi) section of the pipeline and the proposed revised throughput forecast,” he said.
Epra did not disclose the contents of the tariff application but said it would be made available for public scrutiny starting next | https://nation.africa/kenya/business/higher-fuel-prices-loom-as-kpc-plans-tariffs-raise--3919018 | 2022-08-19T05:03:53Z | https://nation.africa/kenya/business/higher-fuel-prices-loom-as-kpc-plans-tariffs-raise--3919018 | true | 1 |

Pictures and videos of the incident circulating on social media showed the wreckage of a plane on a grassy field, with a building damaged as well.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Hydroelectric turbines may stop turning. Las Vegas and Phoenix may be forced to restrict water usage or growth. Farmers might cease growing some crops, leaving fields of lettuce and melons to turn to dust.
Those are a few of the dire consequences that could result if states, cities and farms across the American West cannot agree on how to cut the amount of water they draw from the Colorado River.
Yet for years, seven states that depend on the river have allowed more water to be taken from it than nature can replenish. Despite widespread recognition of the crisis, the states missed a deadline this week to propose major cuts that the federal government has said are necessary.
And again, the government failed to force harsh decisions and stopped short of imposing the cuts on its own, despite previous threats to do so.
Any unilateral action from federal officials would likely move conversations from negotiating tables to courtrooms and delay action even longer.
The river, which cascades from the Rockies down to the deserts of the Southwest, quenches the thirst of 40 million people in the U.S. and Mexico and sustains a $15 billion-a-year agricultural industry.
But for a century, agreements governing how it’s shared have been based on faulty assumptions about how much water is available. With climate change making the region hotter and drier, that discrepancy is becoming impossible to ignore.
Lake Powell and Lake Mead, the two largest reservoirs that hold Colorado River water, have fallen to dangerously low levels faster than anyone expected. The decline threatens to disrupt hydroelectric power production and water sent to cities and farms.
Though everyone agrees the stakes are high, states and the U.S. government have struggled to reach a consensus on what to do.
People have “been hoping to stave off this day,” said Felicia Marcus, a former top water official in California, which holds the largest right to the river’s water. “But now I think we can’t expect Mother Nature to bail us out next year. The time for some of these really hard decisions is now.”
The river is also tapped by Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Mexico and some tribes.
For years, officials have issued warnings about the state of the river, but also reassured people that the system won’t crash. That two-part message was front and center this week, when the states failed to meet a deadline set by the Bureau of Reclamation for them to propose 15% to 30% cuts to their water use.
As the deadline passed Tuesday, the potentially dramatic moment amounted to a shrug. Officials said they still have faith the states will reach a deal if given more time.
Visiting California the next day, Reclamation Commissioner Camille Touton repeatedly dodged questions about what might happen next. She’s given no specifics about what the bureau’s more aggressive actions might look like, or when they might happen.
The federal government, she said, “is ready to move forward on our own.” But officials “will continue to talk to everybody about what the process is.”
Not everyone is satisfied with that approach.
“I’m asking them to at least lay out very clearly how that threat will be imposed,” Southern Nevada Water Authority General Manager John Entsminger said.
Entsminger and his counterparts in Arizona, Utah and California, as well as local officials in and around Phoenix, also repeated what has become a common refrain: They said they were gravely concerned about river’s future, yet wanted to reassure their water users that the river won’t stop flowing imminently.
“This is not a situation where people should be concerned about, you know, water running out in days or weeks or even months. But it’s very clear that this entire river system is experiencing something that’s never happened before,” said Wade Crowfoot, California’s natural resources secretary.
The cuts would force hard decisions about who has to live with less. Water bills could rise as states tap other sources and adopt technology such as wastewater recycling to make up the difference.
In some places, officials have voluntarily implemented strict conservation measures, including limiting lawn watering and paying farmers not to plant fields, even banning new water hookups. The climate legislation signed Tuesday by President Joe Biden provides $4 billion that could be used to pay Colorado River users to cut back, but it’s not clear how that would work.
The river’s shrinkage has inflamed tensions between Rocky Mountain states and their downstream neighbors over who should shoulder the burden. It also pits growing cities against agricultural regions.
In Pinal County, Arizona, Kelly Anderson grows specialty crops for the flower industry and leases land to alfalfa farmers whose crops feed cattle at nearby dairy farms. He expects about half of the area to go unplanted next year, after farmers in the region lose all access to the river.
Though farmers use most of the water, they have less wiggle room to conserve than cities, which can more easily recycle water or tap other sources. The river is a lifeblood in places like California’s Imperial Valley, which grows vegetables like broccoli, onions and carrots. Water shortages could send ripple effects throughout the food system.
States aren’t the only ones at the table. Native American tribes hold some of the oldest water rights and occupy a unique position in negotiations because the federal government is required to protect their interests.
The Colorado River Indian Tribes along the Arizona-California border have contributed water to boost Lake Mead in the past. They could be called on again.
“Our senior rights do not mean we can or should sit on the sidelines,” Colorado River Indian Tribes Chairwoman Amelia Flores said. “We won’t let this river die.”
Upper basin states — Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Wyoming — argue that they shouldn’t face cuts because they historically haven’t used all the water they were promised a century ago.
They want to protect their share in anticipation of population growth and haven’t pursued policies that save water as much as states like Arizona and Nevada.
Zach Frankel, executive director of the Utah Rivers Council, said many in the Rockies cling to an erroneous belief that their water rights are safe, cuts will continue to hit their downstream neighbors and one wet winter could reverse the river’s decline.
“If we don’t agree about what the crisis is, we’re not going to have the impetus to come up with a solution,” he said.
Arizona, Nevada and California say they’re willing to put water or money on the table, but so far that hasn’t been enough to yield an agreement.
A growing chorus of veteran officials and environmental advocates say both the states and the federal government are sending muddled messages by stressing the gravity of the situation yet delaying meaningful action.
James Eklund, an attorney and former director of the Upper Colorado River Commission, said the shrinking reservoirs present an opportunity to rethink how to manage the river and incentivize conservation — if only officials will take it.
Bureaucrats, he said, continue to think they can postpone changes. The problem is “that doesn’t really work here because no action means we’re driving toward a cliff.”

Jiivi 2 Movie Review: Vetri's Sequel Retains The Suspense
Jiivi 2 starring Vetri, Karunakaran, Ashwini Chandrasekar, Mime Gopi, and Rohini, among others, proves to be a worthy sequel and picks up directly from where Jiivi ended. The film, directed by V J Gopinath, manages to retain the suspense and pace of the earlier installment.
Story
Let's quickly recollect the backdrop of the sequel. Vetri plays Saravanan, an intellectual working odd jobs trying to make a living, while constantly on a pursuit of a meaningful life. Karunakaran plays Mani, a timid friend who is sort of codependent on Saravanan. In Jiivi, the duo plan and execute a robbery at their neighbour's house, and the jewels that they rob change their life forever. Saravanan believes that the jewels he stole triggered the triangle rule in his life, which he explains in the film as a phenomenon that creates similar and cyclic events in the lives of people connected by a certain something (the jewels in this case). Jiivi ends with Saravanan deciding to get married to the daughter of the neighbour from whom he stole the jewels, hoping that his wedding would break the chain of events. By the end of the film the jewels no longer remain in his possession.
Jiivi 2 begins with Saravanan's marriage with Kavitha, played by Ashwini Chandrashekar. Kavitha is visually challenged and Saravanan tries to arrange funds for her eye surgery. His plan however doesn't proceed, and he falls prey to his temptation to steal again. And his attempt at a robbery drags him into trouble yet again. And soon he starts seeing connections resurface. Saravanan sets out to find the root of the stories of those linked in the triangle and he discovers truths that confuse him even more.
The story is engaging and keeps us waiting for it to unravel connections and similarities. Recognising the patterns as we follow them alongside Saravanan is a fun exercise that helps us stay invested in the story. The film ends with another attempt of Saravanan to end this vicious cycle but the film teases us with a shot that makes us wonder if Saravanan had put an end to it or has created a whole new chain of events.
Performances
Vetri as Saravanan is believable in the sense that he appears smart and aware of his situations even when they don't make perfect sense to him. He has an air of intelligence in his eyes that he uses well in his performance. Ashwini brings the necessary drama to the plot, portraying her character's helplessness and makes us wish well for her.
Karunakaran as Mani, has played the character to perfection making the performance sufficiently annoying without making us hate the character altogether. Rohini and Mime Gopi reprise their roles as sibilings and Nasser is seen playing a cameo.
Technical Aspects
The background score by K S Sundaramurthy doesn't poke its head out, trying to announce its existence. It stays blended to the story. The editing by Praveen K L keeps the film moving without any unnecessary lags in the narrative.
Verdict
Jiivi 2 doesn't roam far from Jiivi, and manages to bring the same amount of curiosity that Jiivi brought to the viewers. And it leaves us wanting more of Saravanan's story in possible sequels to come. Jiivi 2 has released on Aha and its definitely worth a watch if you liked Jiivi. | https://www.filmibeat.com/tamil/reviews/2022/jiivi-2-movie-review-vetri-sequel-retains-the-suspense-339279.html | 2022-08-19T05:18:15Z | https://www.filmibeat.com/tamil/reviews/2022/jiivi-2-movie-review-vetri-sequel-retains-the-suspense-339279.html | false | 2 |
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Government health insurance provider Centene Corp. said Thursday it no longer plans to create an East Coast campus in Charlotte, North Carolina, a project first announced in 2020 and already under construction.
The St. Louis-based managed care company said it was pulling back because of the number of its employees who now prefer working from home or in a hybrid situation, a company spokesperson told The Charlotte Observer.
The project had initially been expected to create more than 3,200 jobs by 2032. When announced, Gov. Roy Cooper had described the planned expansion as the state’s largest single jobs announcement by number in nearly two decades.
The city of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County no longer plan to follow through on incentives that had been promised in conjunction with the project, spokespeople told the newspaper.
The news of Centene’s plans was first reported by the Charlotte Business Journal. | https://www.mychamplainvalley.com/news/business/ap-business/insurer-centene-changes-course-on-east-coast-hq-in-charlotte/ | 2022-08-19T05:24:56Z | https://www.mychamplainvalley.com/news/business/ap-business/insurer-centene-changes-course-on-east-coast-hq-in-charlotte/ | true | 28 |
Ahmedabad: The Gujarat high court on Thursday issued a notice to the superintendent of Bhavnagar Central Jail, its jailor and 15 other prison officials following a complaint made by four undertrials alleging that they were beaten up mercilessly for refusing to pay Rs 25 lakh towards protection money.
The case involved four undertrial prisoners – Navsaad Bhurani, Nihaal, Nishat and Abbasbhai Bhurani – all accused of murder, and in judicial custody since 2016.
Their advocate Bhavyaraj Gohil submitted before the court that these prisoners were earlier lodged in Junagadh prison, but following overcrowding, they were shifted to Bhavnagar prison on February 26.
It was further alleged that the jail superintendent, J R Taral, and jailor F M Malek, called the prisoners on February 27 and asked them to pay protection money.
Upon refusal, all four prisoners were allegedly brutally beaten up by 15 jail officials on instructions by the superintendent and jailor. They were not taken to the hospital but were treated by the jail doctor instead, the complaint stated.
When their condition worsened, they were taken to the civil hospital in Bhavnagar, where the doctors noted that the injuries were caused due to assault. Their FIR was registered by the Neelambaug police station at a belated stage. The lawyer submitted that the police diluted the charges, and the jail authorities also filed a criminal complaint against the prisoners for assault on jail staff.
While the investigation was pending, the prisoners approached a magisterial court complaining about the alleged beating by the jail officials and sought transfer to another jail. On March 9, the court ordered that they be shifted to a prison in Amreli district.
The prisoners approached the HC saying that the ill-treatment was in violation of the directions issued by the Supreme Court in D K Basu’s case, and the jail officials are liable to be punished under the contempt of court laws.
After hearing the case, the bench of Chief Justice Aravind Kumar and Justice Ashutosh Shastri issued notice to 17 jail officials including the superintendent and the jailor and sought their replies by October 3.

PANAJI: The National Green Tribunal has directed Goa Tourism Development Corporation (GTDC) to demolish illegal construction works on Baina beach and restore the area to its original position.
“If the project proponent fails to restore the area to its original position within three months, GCZMA may undertake restoration and take coercive measures as per law, including assessment and recovery of compensation for the violations,” the NGT stated in its latest order. “Being a no-development zone, no construction activity is permissible and constructions in question have been wrongly allowed by GCZMA,” the tribunal stated. The tribunal found that the area doesn’t fall in CRZ-II but CRZ-I where restrictions apply.
Two applications were filed against illegal constructions on Baina beach in violation of the CRZ notification 2011 under the Environment Protection Act 1986. The tribunal was told that the illegal construction activity is being undertaken by GTDC in the name of beautification of the beach where the area is classified as sandy beach and intertidal zone and categorised as CRZ-1 under the CRZ notification 2011.
The applicants submitted that GCMZA illegally granted permissions for construction on February 20, 2014, subject to the condition that the project will be restricted between the existing wall and the road curb only but in the process sand dunes on Baina beach are being flattened and natural features of landscape are being changed in utter disregard to CRZ regulations.
The tribunal was also told that a cement construction is being carried out within 100m of the high tide line in an area which is sandy beach and photographs showing cement constructions in violation of para 8(i) and (vi) of the CRZ notification 2011 were produced. The application was filed in August 2016, and the notice was issued on August 31. GTDC filed a reply stating that the inspection was conducted in March 2017 and earlier inspection by the director of settlement and land records was also considered showing the existing retaining wall in red in the plan.

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has warned that the state will not play Father Christmas with its 3.5 million votes in the 2023 presidential election.
Wike spoke at the flag-off of a flyover project at the Rumuola- Ikwerre Road-Rumuokwuta Roundabout in Obio Akpor Local Government Area of the state.
Speaking at the ceremony performed by former governor of Cross River State, Donald Duke, Wike noted that members of other political parties in Rivers have been joining the PDP, thus giving the party an electoral advantage ahead of the 2023 elections.
He claimed members of the other political parties are joining the PDP in droves because they are delighted at ongoing infrastructural development by his administration.
Wike stressed that Rivers State is too strategic politically to be ignored by any serious minded politician who wants to win election, in obvious reference to the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, who the governor has been having a running battle with.
He also took a dig at PDP chieftains from Rivers who have taken side with Atiku in his dispute with the former vice president and have now relocated to Abuja.
“We have collapsed every other party. Every day people from the All Progressives Congress (APC) are joining our party. We are here doing that and some people are in Abuja; ask them how many persons have they brought to the party.
“It’s not to say I’m supporting our candidate. How many people have you brought to help your candidate. We are here everyday bringing people to join our party and you are there following your candidate from Abuja to Adamawa. Is it there you’ll win the votes? Come back home.”
Governor Wike stressed that Rivers State is too strategic politically to be ignored by any serious minded politician who wants to win election.
He stated the futility of the claims by those who professed that they know the PDP Presidential candidate, yet they are not at home where votes can be mobilised to secure electoral victory.
“This local government alone, Obio Akpor, where I come from, we registered not less than 600 thousand voters. This local government beats two states in their electoral strength.
“So, we are not a state that you can take for granted, not to talk about the local government where I come from.
“I believe that they must know us here because we have what it takes to deliver. They must come and know us. I’m not going to find anybody. You must come here. You can’t take 600 and something thousand votes away from my local government. You can’t take 3.2million votes from my state just like that.”
Governor Wike emphasised that the days are gone when supporters and electorate offer their votes with nothing in return.
“If we were father Christmas before, we won’t be father Christmas again. You must tell me what is there for me if I should vote. So, nobody should bother himself. At the appropriate time we will talk to our people and our people will understand.
“If you say we don’t exist, we will tell you that you don’t exits. I am not a son to anybody. I am a son of Rivers State. I am working to attract what will benefit Rivers State.”
Wike further said the infrastructural projects are evidences of how Rivers money has been expended by his administration to solving critical socioeconomic problems.
He noted that the 12 flyovers, in the next three years, would be more appreciated because they will sufficiently address traffic related problems.
The governor also explained that everything has been done to ensure that funds are available so that every project started by his administration is not abandoned but completed.
“As at yesterday, I have released the money for the compensation of every property that will be affected here.
“We have paid for the relocation of the electric poles and property from Mgbuoba to Ozuoba. We have paid for the relocation of electric poles and property on Azikwe-Iloabuchi Road. So, the total compensation we have paid is N4.3billion.
The governor also informed that in July, Julius Berger Nigeria PLC started the deduction of N2billion from the Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) account of the state, and would do so for the next 10 months, to execute the 11th and 12th flyovers.
He also explained that 80% of the contract sum has been paid to Julius Berger Nigeria PLC for the Azikwe-Iloabuchi Road construction.
Governor Wike emphasised that his administration is determined to complete the Andoni section of the Ogoni-Opobo-Andoni Unity road and has charged the contractor to expedite work.
“Andoni must get road before I go there to campaign. I have told the contractor, Opobo has gotten road, Andoni people must drive by road before the administration ends.
“The Trans-Kalabari road, we have paid 100%, that is over N13billion we have paid and I believe by the grace of God, by this September, the first phase of Trans-Kalabari Road will be completed.
“The one of Bori to Kono that CCECC is doing, which we have paid over N14b and finished paying.”
Performing the flag-off, former governor of Cross River, Donald Duke, said the leadership capacity demonstrated by governor Wike assures that there is hope for Nigeria.
Duke commended Governor Wike for executing projects, particularly the flyovers that have made Port Harcourt a livable city.
He also noted the medical succour the Dr. Peter Odili Cancer and Cardiologist Disease Diagnostic Centre would offer cancer patients, because of the terminal nature of the disease.
Providing a description of the project, Rivers State Commissioner for Works, Dr. Dakorinama George-Kelly said the 11th flyover is 1007.5 meters long, stretching from the Ebony Junction on Rumola Road to the Seventh Day Adventist church on Ikwerre Road. | https://hallmarknews.com/2023-rivers-wont-play-father-christmas-with-its-3-2-million-votes-wike-tells-atiku/ | 2022-08-19T05:40:23Z | https://hallmarknews.com/2023-rivers-wont-play-father-christmas-with-its-3-2-million-votes-wike-tells-atiku/ | false | 4 |

This is the first adaptation of HG Wells’s sci-fi novel that privileges the point of view of the victim – and the result is the finest version of the story so far. In Leigh Whannell’s chiller, we follow Elisabeth Moss’s Cecilia as she flees an abusive, controlling relationship, only to suspect her ex, a wealthy optics engineer, is stalking her – even after he supposedly killed himself. Moss is exceptional, alternately fragile and forceful, while the film’s air of suspense is maintained through a camera that is either creeping along corridors or lurking, unnervingly static.

Kyle then chimed in, saying he had been waiting outside in a car when the drama unfolded.
“She called Jackie a lying b**ch, a wh**e, [and said] ‘Get out of my house, I’m ringing the police’.”

News of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) raiding the residence of AAP leader and Delhi Deputy CM Manish Sisodia on Friday, 19 August, was met with a diverse range of reactions from across the political spectrum.
While AAP leaders noted that the raid came just a day after Sisodia appeared on the front page of The New York Times for his role in transforming government schools in Delhi, the Congress gave out mixed signals about the development.
Senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal said, "Now that Kejriwal is on the rise, time for BJP to destabilise." The Delhi Pradesh Congress Sevadal tweeted that "proceedings by govt agencies on Deputy CM Manish Sisodia are giving evidence of corruption."
BJP leaders echoed a similar line, with Union Minister Anurag Thakur saying, "AAP, Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia's real face has come in front of the public today." BJP Delhi spokesperson Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga even went on to say that just like Satyendar Jain, Sisodia, too, would go to jail.
Kejriwal: ‘Centre Sent CBI After NYT Coverage, They Want Us To Stop Our Work on Education’
Reacting to the CBI arriving at his Deputy CM Manish Sisodia's residence, Delhi CM and AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal remarked, "America's biggest newspaper The New York Times put the Delhi education model on its front page along with a photo of Manish Sisodia, and right after, the Centre sends CBI after him."
He added, "We welcome the CBI, and will cooperate with them fully. There have been such raids on us in the past as well, and nothing was found. This time too, nothing will be found."
Speaking to The Quint, AAP spokesperson Akshay Marathe remarked, "There were many raids on him (Sisodia) in the past too. Many cases have been filed against him and others in the party in the past, but nothing has been found despite their best efforts."
"Modi is insecure and afraid of the work being done in Delhi. Delhi's education and health models are gaining fame all over the world. They want to put an end to it. That's why the action against Delhi's Health and Education Ministers. But we won't let Modi stop the good work being done."AAP spokesperson Akshay Marathe to The Quint
AAP MLA Saurabh Bharadwaj asked, "This is not the first case of the raid on AAP leaders, but the question is what do these agencies recover? They should tell people if anything was ever recovered anywhere."
Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann wrote, "Manish Sisodia is independent India's best education minister." Commenting on the timing of the raid on Sisodia's residence following the NYT coverage, Mann asked, "How will India progress if this is how things work?"
‘Kejriwal on the Rise, Time for BJP To Destabilise’: Kapil Sibal
Commenting on the developments, veteran Congress leader Kapil Sibal wrote that the CBI and Enforcement Directorate are the long arms of the government, and "Now that Kejriwal is on the rise, time for BJP to destabilise."
'This is Evidence of AAP's Corruption': Delhi Pradesh Congress Sevadal
Striking a different note than the one made by veteran Congress leader Kapil Sibal, the Delhi Pradesh Congress Sevadal said, "AAP is involved in corruption. Delhi Health Minister is already in jail and now proceedings by govt agencies on Deputy CM Manish Sisodia are giving evidence of corruption."
‘Corrupt Person Trying To Prove Himself Innocent’: BJP Leader and Union Minister Anurag Thakur
Reacting to the news, BJP leader and Union Minister Anurag Thakur said, "No matter how hard a corrupt person tries to prove himself innocent, he will still remain corrupt. This is not the first case of corruption by AAP. There has been huge corruption in the liquor stores in Delhi."
Thakur added, "Arvind Kejriwal should stop treating people as fools, and should stop addressing the people of the country. Delhi CM did not even suspend Satyendar Jain when he went to jail. AAP, Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia's real face has come in front of the public today."
BJP Delhi spokesperson Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga tweeted that Satyendar Jain is already in jail and that "Sisodia 2 will go 2 jail."
BJP MP Parvesh Verma asked ANI, "Why did the Delhi government stop its liquor policy if it was right? They stopped this policy when CBI started an enquiry in this matter."

Burgers to Beat MS is back at A&W.
For the 14th year, the company is partnering with the MS Society of Canada to help Canadians with Multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic disease affecting the central nervous system.
Thursday (Aug. 18), $2 from every Teen Burger sold at A&W restaurants across Canada will be donated to the MS Society.
Customers can also add a donation to their order.
All funds raised will enable the MS Society to fund research and ensure that people affected by MS receive the support and resources they need.
According to the MS Society of Canada, Canada has one of the highest rates of MS in the world, with an estimated 90,000 Canadians living with the disease.
On average, 12 Canadians are diagnosed with MS each day.
This year’s fundraiser goal is $1.5 million to add to the over $17 million A&W has already donated to the MS Society in the past 13 years. | https://www.ashcroftcachecreekjournal.com/trending-now/burgers-to-beat-ms-returns-to-aw/ | 2022-08-19T06:38:30Z | https://www.ashcroftcachecreekjournal.com/trending-now/burgers-to-beat-ms-returns-to-aw/ | true | null |
This interview originally aired on Radio Boston in 2013.
The writer Salman Rushdie remains in critical condition a week after he was brutally attacked while on stage in New York State.
“His life changing injuries are severe,” Rushdie’s son said in a statement. “[But] his usual feisty and defiant sense of humor remains intact.”
The knife attack comes more than 30 years after the Iranian Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini issued a fatwa in 1989 calling for Rushdie’s death, following the publication of Rushdie’s novel The Satanic Verses.
What was so scary about the novel that a powerful national religious and state leader called for a writer’s murder?
The Satanic Verses refers to an incident in the prophet Mohammed’s life. In Rushdie’s book, a character named Mahound appears in dreams. And in one scene another character tells Mahound:
“First we said, Mahound will never compromise, and you compromised. Then we said, Mahound has betrayed us, but you were bringing us a deeper truth. You brought us the Devil himself, so that we could witness the workings of the Evil One, and his overthrow by the Right. You have enriched our faith. I am sorry for what I thought.”
Mahound moves away from the sunlight falling through the window. ”Yes.”
Bitterness, cynicism. ”It was a wonderful thing I did. Deeper truth. Bringing you the Devil. Yes, that sounds like me.”
And for those simple words, Khomeini wanted Rushdie to die. Last Friday, a knife-wielding fanatic came close to fulfilling that awful wish.
After the fatwa, Salman Rushdie spent more than a dozen years in hiding. By 2012, his life had returned enough to normal that he wrote a memoir about his decade of fear.
The memoir, called Joseph Anton, describes with moving candor, Rushdie’s pain, confusion, and anger at the sometimes absurd lengths he had to go to in order to remain safe, even while under the protection of British police.
In 2013, Meghna Chakrabarti had a chance to speak with Rushdie. He was on the tail end of his book tour for Joseph Anton.
In this podcast special, we’re resurfacing the 2013 Radio Boston interview with Salman Rushdie.

Q Why do I have to refrigerate eggs purchased at the grocery store but not those from the farmers market? BT, Greenville
A The American food supply is among the safest in the world. Even so, about 1 in 6 people in the U.S. get sick every year from food-borne disease, many are hospitalized and about 3,000 die. We have three government agencies (the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service, the FDA and the CDC) that serve important roles in ensuring food safety. Egg refrigeration can play a critical role in preventing illness from salmonella contamination. But as Kylie Nowicki, a fourth-year Brody medical student who has spent time with us in family medicine found out, it is not always necessary. Here is what she learned.
The egg carton you buy in the store is likely to say, “Keep refrigerated at or below 45 Fahrenheit,” and will be stamped with a “best buy” date. While refrigerating eggs is common in the U.S., if you travel to Europe or Asia, you may find it is not. Regulations regarding refrigeration vary worldwide, but each aims to protect you from foodborne salmonella infection.
Eggs may become infected with salmonella either by bacteria passing from an infected hen to her eggs during their development or through bacterial contamination of the egg after it is laid. Since producers initially had no easy way of preventing salmonella transmission to eggs prior to being laid, washing the eggs seemed a logical solution.
In the 1970s, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) determined that the best way to fight salmonella contamination was by sanitizing eggs before reaching the consumer. Typically, eggs are spray-washed with warm water, using a sanitizing rinse, and air-dried. This removes contaminants but also the natural coating, or cuticle, of the egg. The process makes the shell porous and prone to bacterial infection. To minimize bacterial contamination, prompt refrigeration is required and U.S. commercial egg farms are required by law to wash and immediately refrigerate eggs until they reach the grocery store. Specifically, the FDA requires egg producers to maintain storage temperatures of 45 Fahrenheit, beginning 36 hours after the eggs are laid.
Food safety officials also emphasize that once eggs are refrigerated, they must remain that way, as warmer environments cause chilled eggs to sweat, promoting the growth of bacteria that could enter the egg through the porous shell. Eggs should not be left unrefrigerated for more than two hours. Refrigeration also preserves egg quality and shelf life. Refrigerated eggs can last 45 days — even up to 15 weeks — and while the whites of older eggs might be runnier, they are safe. Meanwhile, the shelf life of non-refrigerated eggs is roughly three weeks.

Drought is ravaging mankind’s 2022 harvests, with everything from rice fields in global export leader India to potatoes in American production cornerstone Idaho being severely impacted.
But now, some areas of California are experiencing escalating prices of critical restaurant components — such as tomato sauce, tomato paste, and ketchup — because drought has demolished the state’s crops.
California Tomato Growers Association chief Mike Montna bluntly told Bloomberg for an Aug. 13 article, “We desperately need rain.”

- US Cattle Herd Hits 6-Year Low as Breeding Stock Sent for Slaughter
“We are getting to a point where we don’t have inventory left to keep fulfilling the market demand,” he added.
The situation in California is dire, as the drought-rooted water crisis has left more than 800,000 acres, roughly 1,250 miles, of farmland left untended this year, a figure double that of last year and the most idled land in decades, according to preliminary findings by a University of California Merced researcher issued in July.
The data is exceptionally significant as most of the new dustbowl is seated in the Central Valley region, which is normally responsible for a quarter of America’s food production.
Bloomberg explained that the California tomato plantation is likewise responsible for a quarter of global tomato production.
The circumstances have led to a rise in cost of tomato-based foodstuffs critical to restaurants so severe that it’s outpacing U.S. food inflation, which is already at its highest figure in 43 years, Bloomberg said.
Rick Blankenship, VP of Farming Operations of Woolf Farming, told the outlet that the problem isn’t just drought, but rising costs of fertilizer and fuel have also led to a situation where the cost of harvesting an acre of tomatoes now costs $4,800, compared to only $2,400 10 years ago.
A similar plight was lamented by the Idaho potato industry in a June 15 article in industry magazine Spudman, where a report by the Idaho Grower Shippers Association found that the cost of packaging alone had skyrocketed by 36 percent over the course of just the last two years.
Spudman further said the report also found that, “The cost of labor went up 28%, the cost of repairs rose 17%, the cost of chemicals increased 48% and the cost of scooping and hauling potatoes from storage rose 31%.”
Blankenship told Bloomberg that tomato yields were already “way off this year,” adding, “Coupled with drought, we’ve had high temperatures and that in itself creates an issue where the tomatoes are so hot that they just don’t size properly — so you have a lot of tomatoes on a plant, but they are smaller.”
This pain was experienced in Canada last year after a record-setting heat wave caused by a curious high pressure heat dome that saw British Columbia become temporarily hotter than the record temperatures ever posted in Las Vegas ruined fruit crops and left local shellfish populations to boil alive and rot on the shoreline.
President of the BC Fruit Growers Association, Pinder Dhaliwal, told state-funded messaging outlet the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in an interview at the time that because the heat was so extreme, coupled with no cooling at night, that the cherry crop simply cooked on the trees to such an extent that even the pits were hot to the touch when examined by growers.
Blankenship further told Bloomberg that although California’s tomato growers were earning an all time high for this year’s crops — $105 a ton — it may not be enough.
“You would think that it was a home run for growers, but in reality the input costs have gone up so much that the potential profit was all gobbled up,” he added.
Another area farmer that normally produces rice told Bloomberg that they slashed their rice crop by 90 percent this year, sewing tomatoes instead, in an attempt to get the best bang for their buck amid the state’s water crisis.
The farmer told Bloomberg that because of heat, drought, and an unfortunate mid-April frost, that unfortunately, yields “so far are below average.”
A representative for Ingomar Packing Co., described by Bloomberg as one of the world’s largest tomato packers, stated that because “the water is either too expensive or just not available at any cost,” that “there are simply not enough acres of processing tomatoes being planted this year to ensure that everybody gets their full supply.” | https://www.visiontimes.com/2022/08/18/california-ketchup-crisis-tomato-crop-drought.html | 2022-08-19T06:47:02Z | https://www.visiontimes.com/2022/08/18/california-ketchup-crisis-tomato-crop-drought.html | false | 1 |
CASCADE TOWNSHIP, Mich. — It's an increasingly familiar sight in U.S. cities and suburbs: A van pulls up to the curb. Workers wearing gloves, masks and other protective gear strap on backpack-type mechanisms with plastic hoses, similar to leaf blowers.
Revving up the motors, they drench trees, bushes and even house walls with pesticides targeting an age-old menace: mosquitoes.
The winged, spindly-legged bloodsuckers have long been the bane of backyard barbecues and, in tropical nations, carriers of serious disease. Now, with climate change widening the insect's range and lengthening its prime season, more Americans are resorting to the booming industry of professional yard spraying.
"If you like to be outside, it certainly makes it more pleasant not to be swatting mosquitos and worrying about all the issues," said Marty Marino, a recent customer in Michigan's Cascade Township, a bedroom community near Grand Rapids.
But the chemical bombardment is beginning to worry scientists who fear over-use of pesticides is harming pollinators and worsening a growing threat to birds that eat insects.
"The materials these companies spray kill all bugs," said Lynn Goldman, an environmental health professor at George Washington University and former assistant administrator for toxic substances at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
"That includes bees, butterflies and all kinds of beneficial bugs that maybe people don't love but should," Goldman said. "It's not good to have this kind of indiscriminate killing, messing up the whole ecosystem."
More than 40% of insect species worldwide are threatened with extinction, including some pollinator bees and butterflies, according to the journal Biological Conservation.
Spraying companies, which have been multiplying with the surging demand, say they try to minimize pollinator losses but acknowledge there's collateral damage.
Mosquito Joe, which treated Marino's yard and those of several neighbors on a humid July morning, avoids spraying on windy days when poisons would blow onto flowering plants that attract bees, said Lou Schager, president of the company based in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
"We need our pollinators," said David Price, the company's director of technical services. "They're incredibly important. But at the same time, we need to eliminate mosquitoes that (carry) diseases."
In 2020, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported "dramatic" increases in illnesses spread by mosquitoes and other blood feeders. Zika, Chikungunya and West Nile viruses have turned up in the U.S. And Asian tiger and yellow fever types of mosquitoes that originated in the tropics are now common in Southern states and have begun afflicting Southern California.
With climate change, Michigan's mosquito season is about a month longer at the beginning and the end than a few decades ago, as warm-weather varieties increasingly turn up, entomology professor Edward Walker of Michigan State University said.
Meanwhile, the revenue from mosquito spraying has soared, according to Pest Control Technology, a trade publication. Exterminators are adding mosquitoes to their traditional services and new companies are making mosquitoes their primary focus.
Overall industry totals weren't available. But more than 70% of pest control companies surveyed last year offered the service, up from 38% in 2014. It generated nearly one-fifth of company revenue in 2021.
A Zika outbreak that began in 2015 and spread to more than 80 countries helped fuel the surge in the business, said Daniel Markowski, technical adviser to the American Mosquito Control Association, a 1,200-member nonprofit group.
"It was all over the media," said Markowski, and "made a lot of pest control companies say, 'Holy cow, I could make a lot of money with residential services.'"
Established in 2010, Mosquito Joe now has 173 franchises in 39 states, Schager said.
Many companies use a "residual barrier" strategy, spraying pesticide around the perimeter of a property that typically lasts several weeks. When mosquitoes settle on the bushes or trees, they get a lethal dose.
For yard treatments, companies typically use pyrethrins — bug-killing substances produced by chrysanthemum flowers — or synthetic imitators called pyrethroids.
The federal government says the chemicals are safe for humans when used as directed and mostly nontoxic to birds. But they're deadly to fish and bees, and harm birds indirectly by killing insects they feed on, Goldman said.
A drop-off of 3 billion North American birds in recent decades has consisted largely of insect eaters, from the whip-poor-will to redwing blackbirds and barn swallows.
EPA says it is seeking more information about pollinator harm as part of a periodic review of pyrethrins and pyrethroids and could order labeling changes if needed.
Critics also contend homeowners are falling for company sales pitches when simpler methods, such as emptying stagnant water sources and running electric fans, would keep mosquitoes away.
The mosquito control association says companies should first clear out mosquito breeding areas and spray only when an inspection shows it's needed, instead of on a set schedule.
"If I'm doing my job, you won't need my mosquito service over time," said Dan Killingsworth, operations director for Environmental Security Pest Control, based in Panama City Beach, Florida. "If I can reduce mosquitoes on your property to where they're no longer a problem, we can potentially eliminate that service."
Many companies don't go to such lengths, Markowski said. "They'll just come out and spray your property and leave."
Schager said his company limits its insecticide use and usually sprays every three to four weeks, arguing that regular treatments are needed to disrupt breeding cycles.
Marino, the Michigan homeowner, says he's trying an optional spray of water mixed with "essential oils" from plants such as garlic, lemongrass, peppermint and rosemary, which are less harmful to other insects. About 10% of Mosquito Joe's clientele use this option, although most prefer the longer-lasting pyrethroids, Price said.
The company charges around $90 per treatment with pyrethroids, while oils cost about 20% more, he said.
"One of our dogs likes to eat wood chips from the landscaping," Marino said. "If there's the synthetic insecticide on it, that's a great concern."

UPPER DUBLIN — A 71-year-old former school bus aide with the Upper Dublin School District must answer to charges in Montgomery County Court that he had inappropriate contact with elementary school students as they sat on his lap on the bus.
Kenneth Cannon, of the 3600 block of Welsh Road in the Willow Grove section of the township, was ordered to stand trial, after a preliminary hearing before District Court Judge Patricia A. Zaffarano, on one count each of institutional sexual assault, indecent assault of a person less than 13 and corruption of minors, and two counts each of attempted corruption of minors and endangering the welfare of children in connection with alleged incidents that occurred between February and May 2022.
Zaffarano dismissed one other count of institutional sexual assault and one other count of indecent assault during the hearing.
Cannon faces a Sept. 21 formal arraignment hearing on the charges in county court, after which a judge will set a trial date.
Cannon remains free after posting bail in the case to await further court action.
An investigation began on May 27 when Upper Dublin police were notified of allegations that Cannon was allowing multiple students between the ages of 6 and 12 sit on his lap during bus rides to and from school, according to the criminal complaint filed by Upper Dublin Detective Michael T. Scarpato.
An 8-year-old girl told investigators that Cannon, an aide on a bus that took students to Thomas Fitzwater Elementary School and who sat in a front seat behind the bus driver, “would invite some of the girls on the bus ages 6-12 years old to sit on his lap during the bus rides to and from school,” according to the criminal complaint.
The girl recalled an incident when Cannon invited her to sit on his lap during which time he rubbed her shoulders and her thighs, according to court papers.
The victim described Cannon’s hands as “unwanted” and “terrible” and she said that he touched her genital area over top of her clothing while breathing heavily, according to the arrest affidavit. The girl described Cannon’s actions as “ticklish and uncomfortable.”
“The victim claimed she got up and ran to the rear of the bus and the bus aide (Cannon) invited her back to his lap,” Scarpato alleged.
The victim told investigators that Cannon told her “do not tell anyone I did this,” according to court documents.
Detectives conducted additional interviews with four other children, ages 6, 7, 8 and 12 who all advised they sat on bus aide Cannon’s lap on several occasions during bus trips to both Thomas Fitzwater Elementary and Jarrettown Elementary schools located in Upper Dublin, according to the arrest affidavit.
A 12-year-old boy told detectives he observed Cannon both “squeeze and pat” a 7-year-old girl on her buttocks when she sat on Cannon’s lap during the bus rides, court documents indicate. The 7-year-old girl told detectives Cannon also hugged her often and she described the hugs as feeling like a “big squeeze,” detectives alleged.
Scarpato alleged some of the students referred to the bus aide as “Cannonball.”
School officials posted a statement “regarding employee arrest” on the district’s website on July 27.
In the statement officials said the district learned of allegations made against Cannon on May 26.
“On that date, he and the bus driver were placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of a police investigation. Due to their leaves, these employees had no further contact with our students,” the statement read.
Officials said that since May, the district has been cooperating with local authorities regarding the police investigation.
“Today we were informed by the Upper Dublin Police Department that Kenneth Cannon was arrested and charged with serious offenses, including inappropriate contact with two students and corruption of minors stemming from alleged incidents occurring between February and May 2022,” the statement continued. “This remains a personnel and police matter; therefore, we are unable to make any additional comments at this time.”
“The safety of our students is always our top priority. The District will not tolerate conduct that adversely affects our ability to provide students with safe, secure environments. The District will continue to cooperate fully with authorities as this situation develops,” officials added.

Something I never learned about in high school or college is one of the darkest spots of North Carolina’s history.
I went to college in Wilmington for four years. Only in my final year, through my own research, did I discover the 1898 Wilmington Insurrection.
Not only was this insurrection both bloody and successful, it was the only victorious coup d’etat in American history.
On Nov. 10, 1898, a mob of white supremacists overthrew the elected government in Wilmington, which was at the time North Carolina’s largest city. In the process, they killed an estimated 60 to 300 people, almost all of them African Americans.
By 1898, the majority of Wilmington’s residents were African American. Many were successful, with numerous businesses established downtown and a burgeoning middle class on the rise.
Tensions rose during Reconstruction when many freedmen came to Wilmington for jobs. Gaining political power, the African American community’s status in the city became the target of a statewide supremacy campaign.
It culminated on Nov. 10 when a mob of 2,000 white men seized weapons from the armory, torched the Black-owned newspaper (The Daily Record) and took to the streets with a gatling gun, leaving death and ruined businesses in their wake. Political opponents were killed or banished.
Alfred Waddell, former Confederate soldier and U.S. Representative, said in a speech the day before that “never again will white men of New Hanover County permit black political participation.”
Waddell helped lead the coup and held the city’s mayor – Silas P. Wright – at gunpoint and forced him to resign. The city council and police chief were also forced to resign.
Waddell assumed the mayorship for eight years illegally.
For decades after, the white-owned press in Wilmington falsely labeled the event a “race riot” perpetrated by the Black community.
Some notables involved in the coup were Josephus Daniels, John Dillard Bellamy, Charles Aycock, Robert Broadnax Glenn, Tom Jarvis, Claude and W.W. Kitchin, Hugh MacRae, Cameron Morrison, Ben Tillman and Furnifold Simmons.
Perhaps some may assume these men eventually got what was coming to them and faced justice for their crimes. Far from it.
Daniels became Secretary of the Navy under Woodrow Wilson and was Ambassador to Mexico under FDR.
Bellamy, whose family built the most-visited mansion in Wilmington, became a State Senator and U.S. Congressman.
Aycock went on to become the 50th Governor of North Carolina, with a statue in his honor on Capitol Hill in Washington.
Glenn ended up a State Senator and 51st Governor of North Carolina. He ended his career ironically as an ordained minister.
Jarvis founded East Carolina University in 1907, where the oldest residence hall bears his name.
Claude Kitchin was a longtime U.S. Congressman and eventually House Majority Leader.
W.W. Kitchin served an additional five terms in Congress after the coup and later was elected 52nd Governor of North Carolina.
MacRae, who was once revered in Wilmington, donated land for a “whites only” park south of the present day UNC Wilmington. It was named after him until 2020.
Morrison was a U.S. Senator and Congressman and also became 55th Governor of North Carolina.
Tillman, a Senator from South Carolina until 1918, frequently boasted of having killed African Americans. He has a building named in his honor at Clemson University.
Simmons became a U.S. Senator and held his seat for 30 years. He unsuccessfully ran for President in 1920.
A memorial that acknowledged both the coup and those lives lost in 1898 was not erected in Wilmington until 110 years later in 2008.

Mum of woman murdered in Arima wants thorough investigation
THE mother of Rianna Mohammed, who was murdered in Arima on Wednesday night, is calling for a thorough investigation into her first-born and only daughter’s killing.
Police reported that at about 10 pm, Mohammed was at Bolo Trace, Hoyte Avenue with a 37-year-old man when they were shot at.
Mohammed, 26, who is originally from Freeport, collapsed and died on the spot. The man, who lives at Chatham Village, Chatham, was grazed in the neck. Police said they have no motive for the killing.
Mohammed’s mother Nalini Mohammed questioned why her daughter was the only person shot if the two were attacked, and wondered why her daughter was in that area to begin with.
The mother of three recalled her daughter wanting to be a cheerleader, when she was a child, and then a soldier. Mohammed said she threatened her daughter with broken limbs if she pursued her desire to join the military, and that dream was quashed.
She said her daughter, like many people her age, enjoyed having fun and pursued her passion of cosmetology.
“Rianna was a loving child. All of what social media saying about her is not true. She did not need to be with any man for money because her parents would give her anything she wanted.
"We had a falling out some months ago because of the relationship she had, and I told her she could collect her own garbage, she don’t need anyone else's.”
A close friend of Mohammed believes she was killed because of a relationship she had with a married man that went sour. The friend, who asked not to be identified, said a few months ago Mohammed found out she was in a relationship with a married man and called his wife. That led to threats which, the friend said, were never reported.
Mohammed's neighbours described her as a fun-loving woman. The neighbours, who did not want to be identified, said Mohammed moved into the Mc Inroy apartment earlier this year and was a “cool person.”
They said they could not speak much about her personal life, but would lime and drink with her from time to time. One woman said her favourite memory was getting drunk with her one night.
“It is hard accepting that. I was not expecting it. My heart goes out to her as somebody I got close with. My condolences go out to the family,” the woman said.
Mohammed is the second woman killed this week. On Monday night, pregnant mother Rosanne Granger was with her boyfriend Acori “Bless” Mason, in a car at Jubilee Street, Aranguez Branch Road, at around 10.20 pm, when they were shot. Both died at the scene. | https://newsday.co.tt/2022/08/19/mum-of-woman-murdered-in-arima-wants-thorough-investigation/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=mum-of-woman-murdered-in-arima-wants-thorough-investigation | 2022-08-19T07:05:01Z | https://newsday.co.tt/2022/08/19/mum-of-woman-murdered-in-arima-wants-thorough-investigation/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=mum-of-woman-murdered-in-arima-wants-thorough-investigation | false | 2 |
Two days of gridlock
THE EDITOR: A friend sent me an electronic copy of a public notice issued by Nidco which advised of a temporary traffic disruption in Diego Martin on August 27 and 28 in order to facilitate construction of a vehicular overpass in the vicinity of Powder Magazine and a related road improvement project.
As a member of the community of Diego Martin and an interested party, I pose the following questions to Nidco:
1. Is the Morne Coco Road leading from Four Roads to at least St Anthony’s College going to be resurfaced before August 27 in order to facilitate the heavier flow of traffic? It is in a deplorable state.
2. Are the two sets of traffic lights operating at the Diego Martin Highway and the Four Roads junction going to be reprogrammed to facilitate a functional flow of traffic turning west from the highway?
3. Why is it necessary to allow traffic to flow south on Morne Coco Road from Petit Valley and turn west to cross the highway and join the anticipated gridlock? Alternatively, this traffic can join the highway via Crystal Stream. It is to be noted that residents of Victoria Keys and Powder Magazine will be permitted to utilise the highway up to the Four Roads junction.
4. Are transport vehicles (maxis, PH, taxis, etc) going to be allowed to continue to stop in the vicinity of the Four Roads gas station to pick up/drop off passengers?
5. Is there going to be an increased presence of police to keep the ignorant drivers in line?
6. Will there also be an increased police patrol on the Morne Coco Road leading to Maraval for drivers choosing to use that route?
I am appealing to residents of the Diego Martin and Petit Valley to endeavour to complete your usual Saturday morning visits to PriceSmart, for example, earlier in the week to reduce the traffic volume over that weekend.
Unfortunately for me I am scheduled to sail on the inter-island ferry to Tobago on the evening of August 28 and am keeping my fingers crossed that I may get to experience my favourite part of the world – Charlotteville – once again.

New Delhi: The Consumer Unity and Trust Society (CUTS), a non-profit entity, urged the Competition Commission of India (CCI) to conduct a probe into the “possible anti-competitive effects” of the proposed merger agreement between the two multiplex giants Inox Leisure Ltd and PVR Ltd. The public policy research group is said to have “filed the information” with the CCI and is awaiting to hear from the competition watchdog, the Business Line reported.Also Read - Multiplex Giants PVR, Inox Announce Merger, Subject to CCI's Approval
“PVR-Inox is likely to become the largest player in 43 cities, with market share in excess of 50 per cent in at least 19 cities, consequently substantially increasing the concentration levels,” the Consumer Unity and Trust Society said in a statement.

“The CCI has a duty to prevent and eliminate practices having an appreciable adverse effect on competition, promote and sustain competition, and protect the interest of the consumers,” said Pradeep S Mehta, Secretary General, CUTS. According to reports, the body also claimed that had it not been due to Covid lockdowns, the deal would not have qualified for exemption from mandatory merger review by the CCI.
In their BSE filing on August 3, PVR and Inox Leisure said a joint application for the Scheme of Amalgamation has been filed “under Sections 230 to 232 and other applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, with the National Company Law Tribunal, Mumbai on August 2”.

Dershowitz: Even if DOJ Gets Trump Convicted of Documents Crime, He's Still Eligible to Run for President
Harvard Law School professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz said that if Democrats are hoping to disqualify former President Donald Trump from another White House run in 2024 through a criminal conviction, that strategy will not work.
Last week, FBI agents raided Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, Florida, after presenting a warrant stating that they were looking for classified documents the 45th president allegedly had in his possession.
However, Trump wrote on Truth Social on Friday that he had declassified the documents, which he had the authority to do, according to NBC News.
“There are efforts now to disqualify President Trump from being a leader of his party and from running for re-election,” Dershowitz told Megyn Kelly in an episode of “The Megyn Kelly Show” posted last week.
“Some Democratic leaders have made up a story saying that if he were guilty of some crime like [mishandling] classified information, he couldn’t run,” he added.
“The Constitution provides only four reasons a person can’t run. He has to be over 35. He has to be born in America. He has to have not fought in the Civil War as part of an insurrection, and he has to have been impeached with the impeachment-plus disqualification,” Dershowitz said.
The qualifications for president he cited are found in Article II, Section 1, Clause 5, and the disqualifications are in Article I, Section III, Clause 7 and the 14th Amendment, Section 3.
“The Constitution provides the criteria for president, not Democrats in the legislature. So the effort to try to disqualify him is absolutely going to fail,” said Dershowitz, who represented Trump during his first impeachment trial before the Senate.
Harmeet Dhillon, chairwoman of the Republican National Lawyers Association, argued that given the vast breadth of the U.S. Code, the Department of Justice could dig up a crime on whomever they want.
“It is very easy for federal prosecutors to make up a case and if they are hacks, and enabled by judicial hacks, able to get an indictment,” she said.
Dershowitz agreed and added, “Lavrentiy Beria, the head of the KGB, went to Stalin one day and said, ‘Stalin, show me the man, and I’ll find you the crime.’ That’s what’s going on” with regard to Trump.
The left-leaning fact-checker Politifact looked at if Trump could be barred from office for mishandling classified material under the provisions of 18 U.S. Code 2071, but said multiple legal experts think he couldn’t.
The law states, in part, that someone convicted of breaking the law “shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States.”
Politifact cited Rick Hasen, an election law expert at the University of California, Los Angeles, who wrote, “That statute cannot trump the Constitution, which sets the exclusive qualifications for president.”
“So this is not a path to making Trump legally ineligible to run for office,” Hasen concluded.
Politifact further noted, “Previous Supreme Court rulings hold that a state cannot prohibit indicted or convicted felons from running for federal office, and Congress cannot add qualifications to the office of president.”
Trump has responded to the Mar-a-Lago raid with multiple posts on Truth Social.
“Wow! In the raid by the FBI of Mar-a-Lago, they stole my three Passports (one expired), along with everything else. This is an assault on a political opponent at a level never seen before in our Country. Third World!” he wrote on Monday.
“America has never suffered this kind of ABUSE in Law Enforcement! For the FBI to RAID the home of the 45 President of the United States, or any President for that matter, is totally unheard of and unthinkable,” Trump added in a Sunday post.
“This Break In was a sneak attack on democracy (our Republic!), and was both unannounced and done at a time when the President was not even present. It was for political, not legal reasons, and our entire Country is angry, hurt, and greatly embarrassed by it. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad expects Malaysia’s graft-tainted ruling party will hold general elections in coming months — and could win big — but the nonagenarian reformer vowed Friday that he would fight “even a losing battle” on principle.
In an wide-ranging interview with The Associated Press, Mahathir described President Joe Biden as “ineffective" and “anti-Islam" for supporting Israel, accused the U.S. of trying to provoke a war in Taiwan and slammed Europe for provoking Ukraine to fight.
Mahathir said the ruling United Malays National Organization will most likely “win big” in the event of snap polls. He believes that many rural Malay voters have returned to UMNO because they were offered money and other incentives.
“I think they will want to have the general elections this year. If possible, maybe as soon as two or three months from now because they feel that at this moment, the public still look up at them, and the opposition is broken up, disorganized," he said.
Elections are not due until September 2023, but some UMNO members, including ex-Prime Minister Najib Razak and party president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who are both fighting graft charges, have been rallying for an earlier vote.
Mahathir was an UMNO prime minister for 22 years until his retirement in 2003. Inspired to return to politics by the massive looting of the 1MDB state fund during Najib's term in office, Mahathir rode a wave of public anger and led the opposition to the historic victory in 2018 polls that ousted Najib's government.
Mahathir became the world's oldest head of government at 93, but his reformist alliance collapsed in less than two years due to defections. UMNO returned to power and now leads a new coalition government.
Now 97, Mahathir has formed a new party Pejuang and a Malay alliance to contest 120 Malay-dominated parliamentary seats. He said his mission remained the same: to “clean-up" the country and form a graft-free government.
“I dont know about being prime minister candidate, but if I am strong enough, if I am healthy enough, if they want me to contest, I will contest," he told AP.
“I will fight, even if it is a losing battle," he said. “I will fight because I believe in principle. It’s not what happens to me. I believe in principle. I believe that this is a great country which can become a developed country, but under the crooks you will never become."
Najib has maintained his innocence. With his final appeal against his 12-year-jail sentence in the first of several trials ongoing in the country’s top court, he will not be allowed to run in the event of an early election.
Mahathir said he believes Najib is hoping to make a political comeback with an UMNO win.
“In the elections, if UMNO wins, he expects an UMNO government to ask for a pardon for him and when he gets a pardon, (and is ) cleared completely, he can then become prime minister," Mahathir said. “He will do it. Believe me, he will do it."
Mahathir has been known for decades as a critic of the West and its geopolitics.
He said Biden was an “ineffective" leader. “In a way, he’s very anti-Islam, he’s not being fair. He allows Israel to commit all kinds of crime, genocide, and he does nothing. He supports them," Mahathir said.
He warned the U.S. was antagonizing China through recent delegation visits to Taiwan by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and others. China considers Taiwan as its territory and regard such visits as meddling in its affairs.
“If (China) wanted to invade, they could have invaded. They didn’t. But America is provoking so that they can be a war, so that the Chinese will make the mistake of trying to occupy Taiwan. Then there is an excuse...for U.S. to help Taiwan, even fight against China and sell a lot of arms to Taiwan," Mahathir said.
He also railed against the European Union over the Russian war on Ukraine.
“What the NATO is doing, the EU is doing is to provoke some more and asking the Ukrainians to fight," he said. “They promised to accept Ukraine (into NATO) but they didn't." | https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article/Mahathir-expects-early-polls-ruling-party-gains-17383742.php | 2022-08-19T07:34:27Z | https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article/Mahathir-expects-early-polls-ruling-party-gains-17383742.php | true | 33 |
The Meradalir eruption trails, which were closed yesterday due to a yellow weather warning, reopened to visitors this morning, reports RÚV.
Police stopped anyone trying to drive to the eruption yesterday. According to RÚV, everyone respected the closure and no one tried to sneak into the area, unlike the last closure.
Hiking with dogs to the eruption
Matvælastofnun, the Icelandic Food and Veterinary Authority, is cautioning hikers not to take their pets with them to the eruption site because the stimuli can be stressful for dogs.
Additionally, rainwater in the area has been found to contain pollutants that can be harmful to dogs if ingested when they drink ground water or lick their paws.
To keep pets safe if people do choose to take them to the volcano, Matvælastofnun has four rules:
- Do not let dogs drink from puddles or eat snow in the area. Have a bowl with drinking water and offer it as needed.
- Try to prevent the dogs from licking their fur or scratching until they have been rinsed with water after leaving the eruption area.
- Always keep dogs on a leash. Loose dogs can run into valleys where there is gas and even onto the lava. Loose dogs can also cause danger and discomfort to other people along the way by knocking them off balance or knocking over rocks.
- Do not go close to the lava with a dog. Dogs are considerably shorter than humans and therefore are exposed to more gas. Stay high on the slope with the wind at your back.

Great players are spread around college football, of course. Fans just don't hear much about some because they are on losing teams and out of the spotlight.
Eight of the players on the 2021 Associated Press All-America first and second teams were on teams with losing records.
Among the six AP preseason under-the-radar players last year, one became an NFL second-round draft pick, two were third-rounders and another was selected in the fifth.
Here are six players going places in 2022, even if their teams aren't:
WR JACOB COWING, ARIZONA
Cowing was a star at his previous school (UTEP) and he has a chance to be one of the best receivers in the Pac-12 not named Jordan Addison, if Washington State transfer Jayden de Laura can get him the ball.
Cowing caught 61 passes and averaged better than 105 yards per game last season. The Grand Canyon State native chose Arizona over Oregon and has two years of eligibility. He's joined by five-star recruit Tetairoa McMillan in an upgraded receivers room.
LB TYLER GRUBBS, LOUISIANA TECH
Grubbs has been a hidden gem playing on a defense ranked in the bottom half of Conference USA two straight years. The 6-foot-1, 224-pound sophomore already is a projected NFL late-round draft pick in 2023 and has a chance to gain additional spotlight with games at Missouri and Clemson in September.
Last year he led the Bulldogs with 97 tackles, 10 of them for loss, with four pass breakups and two forced fumbles. That was after he had a team-best 99 tackles in 2020.
S KENNY LOGAN, KANSAS
Logan is a punishing hitter who led the Big 12 with 113 tackles, most by an FBS safety last season and by a Kansas defender since 2018. His 79 unassisted tackles ranked first in the conference and third nationally.
The 6-foot, 210-pound senior’s ball skills are excellent and, combined with his aggressiveness and physicality, give him a chance to be drafted. He broke up six passes and intercepted one last season.
LB JAMES PATTERSON, BUFFALO
Patterson is the best linebacker in the Mid-American Conference and, like his twin brother Jaret, plays with a high motor. Jaret, who starred at running back for the Bulls, is entering his second season with the Washington Commanders after going undrafted in 2021.
At 6-foot and 232 pounds, James doesn’t fit the mold of an NFL linebacker, but he’s a big-time playmaker whose strength is his intelligence and instinct. He was second in the MAC with 116 tackles, including 13 for loss and 4.5 sacks.
OL PETER SKORONSKI, NORTHWESTERN
Skoronski was next man up when Rashawn Slater opted out in 2020 because of the pandemic. Slater was a first-round draft pick and Pro Bowl selection as a rookie, and no one would be surprised if Skoronski followed a similar path.
The 6-foot-4, 315-pound junior was the No. 3-ranked Big Ten tackle last year, according to Pro Football Focus. He allowed just two sacks in 436 pass-blocking snaps, and he helped clear the way for Evan Hull to rush for 1,000 yards for an otherwise bad offense.
RB SEAN TUCKER, SYRACUSE
Tucker has been the best thing going for Syracuse for two years. Last season he set a school season record with 1,496 yards, his 124.7 yards per game ranked fourth nationally, and he was on The Associated Press All-America second team.
The 5-foot-10, 209-pound sophomore improved his speed after running the 60 meters on the indoor track team last year. Tucker fumbled just once in 249 carries, and his 6.1 yards per carry and 4.1 yards after contact were second only to Michigan State's Kenneth Walker III among players with at least 200 attempts.

There Are Only Three Kenneths
But which is your favorite?
Every famous white person is named either Chris or Jennifer. This lends to a party game that is fun to play exactly once: Who is your favorite Chris and/or Jennifer? (Or, for those with more elevated taste, who is your favorite Jason?) For me, it’s Pine and Aniston, respectively, but that is not what we’re here to discuss. I have convened you all to this post to ask a much more important question, and also to make a demand.
The question is: Who is your favorite Kenneth? There are only three, despite what you might have heard. There is Kenneth Branagh, the Oscar-winning freak whose upcoming portrayal of Boris Johnson inspired this question. There is Kenneth Lonergan, another Oscar winner and also a very talented playwright. And there is Kenneth Parcell, a fictional character from the television show 30 Rock played by the delightful Jack McBrayer.
When I told my colleagues that there were only three Kenneths, they fought back. “What about Kenneth Cole?” That’s a name made up by DSW to sell leather goods. “Kenny Chesney?” Shut up! He doesn’t go by Kenneth, now does he? “Kenneth Starr?” I was born in 1995 so I don’t know who that is, does he have an Oscar? In any case, I don’t care. There are only three. That is my final word.
But which one is the best? There are cases to be made for and against each Kenneth being your favorite, which I will break down for you now.
Kenneth Branagh
Pros: The British writer-director-actor is very talented when he wants to be, as evidenced by his work on films like Much Ado About Nothing, Henry V, and Hamlet. As you can tell from that list, his best work has been Shakespeare adaptations, and it has all been downhill ever since he stopped doing them. But at least he has been keeping it tight (sorry). The man looks great, which is a big plus for him.
Cons: He is addicted to making Hercule Poirot movies. Someone needs to stop him. Presumably Emma Thompson could have been the voice of reason in his life, but he cheated on her with Helena Bonham Carter and lost the world’s most perfect woman. Also, Belfast was kind of boring.
Kenneth Lonergan
Pros: Margaret is probably the best movie of the last decade. That should be enough, but he also wrote both Analyze This and Analyze That, which is pretty cool. He’s married to Gerri from Succession, making them one of New York’s most interesting couples (now that Mike Nichols is dead and no longer married to Diane Sawyer). Additionally, Chris Evans grew out that porn stache to be in Lobby Hero, a Lonergan play. We have to thank him for that. And isn’t it funny that Chris Evans has done Broadway? I digress…
Cons: There really are none here — he’s a very solid pick for favorite Kenneth. I guess the Gangs of New York script isn’t that good, but we all have our off days.
Kenneth Parcell
Pros: He’s funny :)
Cons: He’s not real :(
So now that you are armed with all this valuable information, you can make a decision as to who your favorite Kenneth is. Personally, I would go Lonergan, but I don’t want to sway your vote.
And as for the previously mentioned demand, here it is: We need a new Kenneth. No one is naming their baby Kenneth anymore. According to the Social Security Association, it was the No. 94 male baby name in 2000, and in 2021 it was No. 258. I want more Kenneths! Two of them are old and one of them is fake. We, as a society, require a new, sexy Kenneth. So if you’re pregnant and feel that your unborn child could be famous, reconsider naming him Liam or Elijah — we have enough of those. Choose Kenneth. | https://www.gawker.com/celebrity/there-are-only-three-kenneths-branagh-lonergan-parcell | 2022-08-19T07:52:11Z | https://www.gawker.com/celebrity/there-are-only-three-kenneths-branagh-lonergan-parcell | true | 1 |

Denmark's FLSmidth raises 2022 sales outlook
Adds detail
COPENHAGEN, Aug 19 (Reuters) - FLSmidth FLS.CO on Friday raised its annual sales outlook after the mining equipment and cement maker beat second-quarter core earnings forecasts despite inflationary pressures and costs related to winding down its Russian business.
The Danish firm reported quarterly earnings before interest, tax and amortisation (EBITA) of 307 million Danish crowns ($41.61 million), well above the 246 million expected by analysts in a poll compiled by the company.
It now expects annual sales of between 18.5 and 20 billion crowns, up from a previous forecast of 17.5-19 billion.
FLSmidth has said it will suspend new business in Russia and Belarus and wind down activities in those countries.
It incurred 50 million crowns in costs and took a 10 million crown write-down in the quarter related to those operations.
($1 = 7.3784 Danish crowns)

Following Micron's pledge to invest $40 billion on enactment of the U.S. CHIPS Act, Micron CFO Mark Murphy told investors the company will cut spending on capital expansion in 2023.
Micron’s plans to invest $40 billion in the U.S. later this decade while reducing capex during the near term makes sense, Wedbush Securities senior vice president Matthew Bryson said in an interview with EE Times.
On Aug. 9, the same day that Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra pledged the $40 billion investment on enactment of the U.S. CHIPS and Science Act, Micron chief financial officer Mark Murphy told investors the company, which is the world’s third-largest memory chipmaker, will cut spending on capital expansion next year.
“We see total capex being down year-over-year, fiscal 2023 versus fiscal 2022,” Murphy said at an investor event held by KeyBanc Capital Markets. “We’re responding to a market condition where supply needs to be adjusted. We need to work through this and figure out a way to right-size the capacity.”
Micron aims to invest $40 billion in the U.S. and hopes to win subsidies from the $52 billion package of incentives in what’s known as the CHIPS Act, targeting a return of semiconductor manufacturing to America while also restricting investment in China. “CHIPS” stands for “Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors,” but the act goes beyond computer components.
“The company announced today investment plans in the U.S. with the help of the CHIPS Act, and that’s to support what we think is durable DRAM growth,” Murphy said on Aug. 9. “That’s investment out to support DRAM demand in the back half of the decade. (We’re) dealing with the short-term markets worse than we thought it would be.”
Micron plans to cut 2023 capex from the $12 billion budgeted for its 2022 fiscal year, according to Murphy. He did not provide details on 2023 capex.
Shortages that began longer than two years ago are ending as the memory chip segment of the semiconductor industry swings to oversupply. It’s reasonable that Micron and every other memory vendor is reducing near-term capex plans, Wedbush Securities’ Bryson said.
“Building a new fab, and particularly one sited on a new campus, is a multi-year endeavor,” he said. “It makes sense that site planning for facilities that will be required in three to four years is happening now.”
“It’s very believable that even with reduced capex in FY/CY ’23, that the company will spend $70 billion or $80 billion plus in total by 2030 because DRAM won’t be in oversupply forever,” Bryson added. “Roughly half that spend might happen in the U.S. if Micron chose to locate a couple fabs in this geography.”
The decline in Micron’s capex will bottom depending on the magnitude of the current macroeconomic downturn and when Chinese consumption rebounds, according to Bryson.
“The drop in Chinese smartphone consumption has been the single largest headwind for memory and semiconductors in general,” he said.
Worldwide smartphone shipments declined 8.7% year-over-year in the second quarter of 2022, according to the International Data Corporation (IDC). This marks the fourth consecutive quarter of decline, IDC said.
DECLINING BIT GROWTH
Bit growth, a metric that memory chipmakers use to gauge demand, is falling, Murphy explained. That growth will lag the long-term trend with DRAM slowing to mid- to high- single digits while NAND drops to low to mid-teens.
“If you go back to 2018, we were seeing NAND bit growth was 40%,” Farhan Ahmad, VP of Investor Relations at Micron, said at the KeyBanc event. “Today, it’s 28%. DRAM at that time was 20%, and now it’s probably down to high teens.”
Ahmad didn’t comment on whether bit growth will return to historic levels.
Over the long term, demand for memory chips will push suppliers to boost output, Wedbush Securities’ Bryson said.
WIDENING DEMAND SLIDE
A slide in demand from makers of smartphones and personal computers has widened in recent weeks to companies making cars and datacenters, according to Micron.
“It’s a very recent development. It’s one of these things where early on, you’re trying to get a signal as to what’s the nature of the adjustment,” Murphy said. “But we’re seeing clear signs of weakness in those markets.”
It typically takes a few quarters for a market correction to “work out”, according to Murphy.
“Whether that’s a couple quarters from now or three quarters, it’s hard to say,” he added. “Our visibility with customers is mixed.”
Micron’s warning comes as the CHIPS Act was passed in part to reduce chip shortages that have forced companies like global automakers to shutter factories and lay off workers. The package of U.S. stimulus measures has persuaded Micron to invest in the U.S, according to Wedbush Securities’ Bryson.
“The CHIPS Act makes it such that the U.S. is now a competitive alternative as a venue to site a new fab,” he said. “Given some advantages to having a more diverse manufacturing base, particularly in the current geopolitical climate, there are arguably some other reasons to consider the U.S. (or Europe) as a venue.”
Most of Micron’s production is currently in Asian nations like Taiwan, Japan, and China, where manufacturing costs are lower.
Under pressure from increasing output, South Korean manufacturers like Samsung and SK Hynix have shown willingness to compromise on pricing, according to market watcher TrendForce.
Other suppliers have no choice but to follow suit as a price drop in consumer DRAM during the third quarter will widen from “the original estimate of 8-13% to 13-18%,” TrendForce said in an Aug. 10 report.
SWELLING INVENTORY
Micron plans to increase its inventory of memory chips in expectation of selling them for better prices sometime in the future.
“We’re building inventories because the market conditions are weak,” Murphy said. “We’re working to get the best value we can for our premium products. We have been walking from business.”
It used to be riskier to hold inventory ten years ago, when production-cost declines were as much as 40% annually, according to Ahmad. “It was very difficult to hold inventories. it’s not a big issue for us holding inventory anymore.”
Samsung and SK Hynix of South Korea are Micron’s larger competitors. The three companies dominate the memory chip business, but face new competition from rivals in China, such as Yangtze Memory Technologies Co. (YMTC).
“They’ve made progress and they’ve got some engagements with customers now,” Murphy said. Apple recently placed orders with YMTC, according to press reports.
“YMTC is getting direct and a great deal of support from the (Chinese) government,” he added. “They’re a concern for the NAND space.”

Toolroom Academy Infinite: What is it?
Infinite is the debut plugin release from Toolroom Academy, the music education offshoot of influential house label Toolroom Records, and is credited as being jointly created by Toolroom founder Mark Knight and producer James F Reynolds.
It’s another entry into the increasingly crowded multi-effect market. Infinite has its own USP, however, in being specifically targeted at creating club-ready transition effects.
Toolroom Academy Infinite: Performance and verdict
The plugin opens up with a basic UI labelled Simple mode. In this state, Infinite is a classic ‘one knob’ plugin, offering just a preset browser up top with a large macro dial below, flanked by input and output metres.
Used in this way, Infinite offers an assortment of complex, tension-building effects including risers, downers, filter sweeps and washout effects, all easily controlled and automated from that single macro. There’s also a small selection of ‘sound shaper’ presets, which can add a touch of movement to things like pads or percussion loops.
As you’d expect from a Toolroom-branded plugin, the presets lean primarily towards dance music. There’s a decent amount of range on offer within that remit though, from more subtle builds that could work on more loopy, slowly progressing techno tracks to all-out pumping sweeps tailor-made for a festival main stage.
Crucially though, as useful as these ‘one knob’ uses are, Infinite also lets users dig deeper by opening up Complex mode, which offers access to the full effect setup. There are four reorderable effects modules here, plus an additional global section. The four modules offer reverb, delay, distortion and LFO-driven volume automation.
The controls for each are pretty basic – the reverb has just mix and decay controls, for example, and delay just a time parameter (always synced to the host tempo) and feedback. While these are unlikely to replace your favourite mixing plugins any time soon, they’re sonically well judged and work very well together when used for the task at hand.
The global section down the bottom of the interface adds high- and low-pass filters, width and gain controls, plus a pre-filter white noise generator. To the right of the interface is an expandable panel used for setting and adjusting macro settings. Up to 14 parameters can be routed here, each with its own custom depth curve. This offers detailed control over the rate at which parameters change as you adjust the macro, making it possible to have different aspects of the effect ramp up, fade in and out or even ‘bounce’ up and down as the transition progresses.
The main Macro control itself isn’t accessible from the Complex view, meaning some awkward flipping back and forth in the UI is required to test any adjustments to the routing setup. It’s also a shame there’s no global dry/wet control, although the main Macro is obviously intended to fill this role.
This aside, Infinite fills its brief exceptionally well, with the potential to become a go-to tool for some. Is there anything here you couldn’t set up yourself using, say, an Ableton Effect Rack? Possibly not, but it’s well priced, user friendly and easy on the CPU – an infinitely convenient source of dancefloor tension!
MusicRadar verdict: It’s not groundbreaking, but Toolroom’s first plugin is a well-pitched and handy source of instant dancefloor-driving transitions.
Toolroom Academy Infinite: The web says
"Its value for money is undeniable when considering its ease of use, effect quality, flexibility and efficacy."

Watch: Father's Inflamed Response After He Says He Overheard Doctor Ask 3-Year-Old Son What His Gender Is
A new video that focuses on the gender-transition madness sweeping America has resonated with the Twittersphere with more than half a million views as of Wednesday.
The video, posted to Twitter on Sunday on the Libs of TikTok account, shows an unidentified man sitting in the front passenger’s seat of a car as he recounts an experience he said he had with a doctor.
The date the video was made isn’t clear.
“So we just took my 3-year-old son to the doctor for a checkup — my 3-year-old son,” the man begins. “And there’s a reason why I’m emphasizing that, and you’re about to know why.
“So my wife and I are waiting in the room with our son, and the doctor comes in, and he sees my son sitting there at the table, and the first question that he asks him is, ‘Are you a boy or are you a girl?’”
The man said he and his wife exchanged “what the f***” looks of concern and bafflement.
This is really scary. Dad claims doctor asked his 3-year-old if he’s a boy or a girl at a routine check-up pic.twitter.com/rwOVNJeDHU
— Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) August 14, 2022
“So luckily my son understands obvious tenets of biology at 3 years old and says that he’s a boy, just like his chart says,” the man said.
“The rest of the appointment I couldn’t even focus because I’m wondering why in the world this guy is asking the question. And then I remembered, ‘Oh, yeah, I live in California.’”
The man noted that his concern is not just based on his experience, but what is taking place around him.
“Call me paranoid, but this is where I think we’re heading based on other things that have happened,” he said.
This is sick & evil.

Warns parents if they don’t “support” gender identity & trans, it will lead kids to suicide.
— Liz Wheeler (@Liz_Wheeler) August 14, 2022
The man referenced a 2018 story from The Washington Times headlined “Religious parents lose custody of transgender teen for refusing hormone treatment.”
In the clip, the man also referenced a 2019 BBC story with the headline, “Texas parents battle in court for custody of transgender child.”
The man also cites a 2019 Heritage Foundation article that said the Equality Act “could lead to more parents losing custody of kids who want ‘gender transition.'”
Reminds me of this video where this mom explained how her toddler came out as trans after the doctor asked if he’s a boy or a girl. https://t.co/8oq461Ntlc
— Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) August 14, 2022
“So again, call me paranoid, but I’m wondering if the doctor’s asking the question of my son to see if he can establish a pattern over time that shows that my son wants to be a girl,” the man said in the video.
“But here’s the thing: My son is 3. I’m not even going to let him choose what he wants for dinner. And some days, my son thinks he’s a dinosaur. But I’m not going to let him transition to a dinosaur. …
“I don’t think it’s going to be long before we start seeing parents lose custody of their young kids because they’re not letting them transition to the opposite gender. And I think pediatricians are going to be the ones who are going to start calling it out.”

WhatsApp has announced new privacy features to ensure better security of the information shared on the app by its users. Mark Zuckerberg, the founder and CEO of Meta- the company that owns WhatsApp now- has announced three new privacy features to offer a more protected and secure conversation chat platform to app users.
The new privacy features are – ability to leave group silently, choosing who can see when you are online and lastly the screenshot blocking for view once messages. The new features will join the efforts made by the chat company in the last one year to add extra layer of protection to secure messages. WhatsApp also has features like disappearing messages that disappear in the set-time, end-to-end encrypted backups to save your chat history, 2-step verification for extra layer of security, and the ability to block and report unwanted chats.
“Today’s three new product updates join WhatsApp’s growing list of privacy features that users can take advantage of and that provide even more layers of protection, giving users more control over their messages,” said the chat company. The new features are set to roll out this month.
Here’s more about these new privacy feature.
Silent exit from WhatsApp groups: You will soon be able to leave a WhatsApp group without creating a noise about it. Currently when you leave a group, all the other members in that group can see you’ve left when they open that particular chat. This will change soon. WhatsApp says that the new feature will let you silently exit a group without notifying others. Instead of the entire group, only the group admins will be notified about your exit.
Choose who can see when you’re online: To let you check WhatsApp privately without everyone seeing they’re online, WhatsApp is rolling out the ability to select who can and can’t see when you’re online.
Screenshot Blocking for View Once Messages: View Once lets user share photos without setting a permanent digital record of it. With Screenshot blocking, WhatsApp will add an extra layer of protection to View once messages. With this update, you will no longer be able to take a screenshot of the View Once Messages. | https://www.financialexpress.com/industry/technology/whatsapp-launches-new-privacy-features-silent-group-exit-screenshot-blocking-and-more/2636055/ | 2022-08-19T08:16:13Z | https://www.financialexpress.com/industry/technology/whatsapp-launches-new-privacy-features-silent-group-exit-screenshot-blocking-and-more/2636055/ | true | 1 |

Grindrod saw good earnings growth in the six months to June 30 off the back of strong mineral commodity markets, good growth in volumes through Maputo port and favourable net interest margins at Grindrod Bank.
Its management predicted a surge in headline earnings to between R389 million and R419m from only R4m at the same time a year before.
Core headline earnings were forecast to increase by between 49 and 58 percent to between R514m and R544m.
Its Port and Terminals business achieved earnings growth of more than 100 percent compared with the prior six months, the group said in a trading statement yesterday.
Maputo Port volumes grew by 30 percent to 12.3 million tons. The port commissioned its upgraded berth infrastructure of six berths, raising capacity from 24.5 million tons in 2018 to 36.4 million tons.
The port spent $110.3m on chrome and ferro-chrome slab capacity expansion, rail offloading facility construction, port road infrastructure upgrade and berth rehabilitation.
Grindrod’s dry-bulk terminals grew volumes handled by 52 percent, despite disruptive weather challenges, frequent power outages, fire-damaged conveyor belt infrastructure in Richards Bay, and a loss of 20 vessel loading days in Matola due to its berth infrastructure incident.
The Matola terminal grew volumes 24 percent to 3.8 million tons compared to the prior period.
The Maputo terminal grew its volume throughput capacity by 25 percent to 3 million tons and handled 1.3 million tons compared to 41 thousand tons in the prior period. Volumes handled in Richards Bay grew 28 percent.
Grindrod’s Maputo Car Terminal volumes grew 35 percent against the prior period because of increased trans-shipments and higher domestic demand for the second hand vehicles.
The facility continues to benefit from project cargo storage.
The coastal shipping and container depot businesses performed well under the challenging operational environment.
All its container depot facilities in Durban were impacted by floods in April resulting in damages at carrying value of R51.4m, which had been impaired. Interim asset insurance claim proceeds of R100m were recorded. This will be used to replace damaged equipment and the infrastructure.
The 75 000 square metre container park development project in Denver, Johannesburg, where the group had spent R118.4m, was gaining momentum and on track to be completed in the second half of 2022.
The Northern Mozambique graphite operations and the Clearing and Forwarding business delivered solid results. Grindrod’s rail business showed an improvement in locomotive deployment.
Grindrod Bank reported healthy earnings growth underpinned by the higher interest rate environment. Grindrod Bank’s liquidity surplus at the end of June 2022 was R6 billion, which was achieving good yields under the current higher interest earning environment, resulting in no negative carry.
Grindrod Bank maintained a stable lending book of R8.3bn and achieved deposit book growth of 4 percent, to R11.7bn, compared to December 2021.
Marine Fuels earnings were up from the prior period due to the strong oil market. Management continues to work with the Marine Fuels management and co-shareholder to exit this investment.
The private equity portfolio exit is largely complete with only one significant asset remaining. Disposal proceeds of R152.1m realised during the current period were applied to settle private equity debt.
In early April 2022 the fuel carrier fleet in Botswana was disposed of, marking the completion of Grindrod’s exit from the fuel and automotive carrier transportation businesses.
The disposal of Grindrod Bank to African Bank for R1.5bn was ongoing, with all parties focused on fulfilling the conditions precedent.

Prince William charity invests in bank tied to fossil fuels
- Country:
- United Kingdom
The conservation charity founded by Prince William, second in line to the British throne and who launched the Earth shot Prize, keeps its investments in a bank that is one of the world's biggest backers of fossil fuels, The Associated Press has learned.
The Royal Foundation also places more than half of its investments in a fund advertised as green that owns shares in large food companies that buy palm oil from companies linked to deforestation.
"The earth is at a tipping point and we face a stark choice," the prince, a well-known environmentalist, is quoted saying on the websites of the Earth shot Prize and Royal Foundation.
Yet in 2021, the charity kept more than 1.1 million pounds (USD 1.3 million) with JPMorgan Chase, according to the most recent filings, and still invests with the corporation today.
The foundation also held 1.7 million pounds (USD 2 million) in a fund run by British firm Cazenove Capital Management, according to the 2021 filing.
As with JPMorgan, it still keeps funds with Cazenove, which in May had securities linked to deforestation through their use of palm oil.
The foundation invested similar amounts in both funds in 2020, its older filings show. As of December 2021, the charity also held more than 10 million pounds (USD 12.1 million) in cash.
The investments, which the Royal Foundation didn't dispute when contacted by the AP, come as top scientists repeatedly warn that the world must shift away from fossil fuels to sharply reduce emissions and avoid more and increasingly intense extreme weather events.
Financial experts say investments like those of the foundation can be blind spots for charities and philanthropies.
As climate change is an increasing area of attention for foundations and others, organizations have sometimes struggled to recognize where their investments lie and align them with more environmentally friendly choices, despite growing numbers of ways to steer clear of funds linked to fossil fuels.
Like the Royal Foundation, in recent years other foundations, including high-profile British charities like the National Trust and Wellcome Trust, also have faced criticism for investments with strong connections to fossil fuels or environmentally harmful practices.
Microsoft co-founder and philanthropist Bill Gates announced that he divested his foundation's direct oil and gas holdings in 2019.
Charities that are talking the talk "also need to walk the walk," said Andreas Hoepner, Professor of Operational Risk, Banking and Finance at University College Dublin, who helped design several European Union climate benchmarks and has sat on its sustainable finance group.
"There are funds that are more sustainably oriented," Hoepner added, pointing to a dozen alternatives to the JPMorgan product that are marketed as sustainable.
There are also alternatives to Cazenove's sustainability fund.
For example, funds manager CCLA caters to churches and charities and does not invest in businesses that get more than 10 percent of their revenue from oil and gas.
Another option is Generation Investment Management, founded in part by former US Vice President Al Gore.
The Royal Foundation said by email that it had followed Church of England guidelines on ethical investment since 2015, and goes beyond them.
"We take our investment policies extremely seriously and review them regularly," the statement said.
The foundation said management fees paid to JPMorgan were small but declined to provide a figure.
It's not clear what role, if any, Prince William had in investment decisions, as he did not respond to AP requests for comment.
JPMorgan Asset Management in an email declined to comment on questions about charities investing in their products despite its record of financing fossil fuels.
Bloomberg data show JPMorgan has underwritten more bonds and loans for the fossil fuel industry and earned greater fees than its competitors in the five years up to 2021.
Environmental NGO Rainforest Action Network looked at direct loans and stock ownership along with bonds and estimated that between 2016 and 2021, JPMorgan's banking arm financed fossil fuel companies with some USD 382 billion. This was more than any other bank.
"Major investors have their pick of companies to manage their assets, and mission-driven institutions have options well beyond the world's worst fossil fuel bank," said Jason Disterhoft, senior energy campaigner with Rainforest Action Network.
As one of the world's biggest banks, JPMorgan is also a leading financier of green projects and has set a target of investing USD 1 trillion in these over the next decade.
However, it made about USD 985 million in revenue from fossil fuels compared to USD 310 million from green projects since the Paris Agreement in 2015, about three times more, according to Bloomberg Data.
Compared to some other charities, the Royal Foundation's investments are small, with little impact on climate change.

Life is ace! As Boris Becker's daughter suns herself on holiday, the VERY glamorous relatives of former tennis greats - from Steffi Graf's model niece to John McEnroe's actress daughter
- Boris Becker's daughter Anna Ermakova was spotted sunning herself in Monaco
- She isn't the only young relative of a tennis great who is living the high life
- Ivan Lendl, Jimmy Connors and Yannick Noah all have glamorous children
- Here, FEMAIL shares a glimpse into their jet-set lifestyles
Boris Becker's model daughter Anna Ermakova has been spotted frolicking on a sun-soaked getaway to Monaco this week, but she is not the only relative of a former tennis great who is living the high life.
The offspring of Eighties and Nineties heroes including Ivan Lendl, Jimmy Connors and Yannick Noah all live glamorous lives that are the envy of their thousands of social media followers.
John McEnroe's daughter Emily, 31, is following in the footsteps of her actress mother Tatum O'Neal and forging a career in Hollywood.
Meanwhile Talia Graf, the niece of German-born player Steffi, is making waves in the fashion industry.
Here, FEMAIL delves into their jet-set lifestyles...
Holiday: Boris Becker's daughter Anna Ermakova, 22, displayed her taut abs in a very skimpy green bikini as she enjoyed a sun-soaked getaway to Monaco on Wednesday
John McEnroe's daughter Emily McEnroe, 31
Famous parents: Up-and-coming actress Emily McEnroe, 31, is the youngest child of John McEnroe, 63, and his ex-wife Tatum O'Neal, 58

Making her mark: Emily, pictured in an Instagram snap, has seen the dark side of fame but still wants to enter the world of showbiz as an actress
On the rise: Emily is close to both her parents and is finding her feet as an actress. She had her first professional credit this year in sci-fi drama Futra Days
Up-and-coming actress Emily McEnroe, 31, is the youngest child of John McEnroe, 63, and his ex-wife Tatum O'Neal, 58.
Emily grew up in the Upper West Side of Manhattan where she says she 'wanted for nothing materially'.
'But all the money in the world doesn't matter if you are sitting in a mansion being unhappy,' she said in a 2019 interview with the Mail On Sunday. Emily was just three when her parents' famously combative marriage imploded.
It was, Emily recalls, a 'big loud family'. She has two older brothers who she remains exceptionally close to: Kevin, a novelist, and Sean, who works as an 'energy healer' and is 'the most spiritual and perceptive person I know'.
McEnroe later married American singer Patty Smyth and had two daughters Anna and Ava. Another step-sibling Ruby was inherited from Patty's first marriage.
Her parents' fame meant Emily had tough lessons to learn when she found herself navigating the world as an adult.
'I grew up around fame and for years I thought everyone was so nice because wherever we went people were fawning over Mum and Dad. It was only when I went out into the world on my own that I realised you don't get treated so nicely in real life.'
The darker side became all-too apparent after Tatum was arrested in 2008 for buying crack cocaine and the story went global. 'I had to go to school that day,' Emily recalls. 'My phone was blowing up with people asking me about it. People read about a scandal but they forget it's about real people with real feelings.'
Now Emily is close to both her parents and is finding her feet as an actress. She had her first professional credit this year in sci-fi drama Futra Days.

Brunette model Talia Graf, 23, is the niece of one of the greatest tennis players of all time but insists growing up with a famous relative wasn't as strange as you might think.
'To be honest, my childhood never felt out of the ordinary – at least from my perspective,' she said in an interview with Fashion Magazine.
'My family is really down to earth, so I never spent too much time thinking about my aunt being famous – I saw her in a different light.'
Talia is the daughter of Steffi Graf's brother, Michael, and Mexican model Elaine Marie Fuentes. It is believed the couple are estranged and have been for a number of years.

Just like dad: Leo is the son of Borg and his third wife Patricia Ostfeldt, and his notoriety will only be added to by the physical resemblance to his father, pictured
Emerging tennis star Leo Borg is supported by his father as he embarks on his own career in the sport.
Having fallen in and out of love with tennis during his sometimes turbulent life Borg has been seen an increasing amount on the fringes of the sport he once dominated.
He has travelled to watch his son play in tournaments in Egypt, Brazil and the Dominican Republic.
Leo is the son of Borg and his third wife Patricia Ostfeldt, and his notoriety will only be added to by the physical resemblance to his father.
They even play in a similar way with a particularly recognisable backhand a feature of his baseline game. Wearing the same FILA brand of clothing adds to the effect.
When Hollywood made a movie about Bjorn's greatest rivalry - 2017's Borg Vs McEnroe - Leo anonymously answered an advert for a child to play the young Bjorn. Unsurprisingly got the part when they saw him.
Leo insists he is not overwhelmed by walking in his father's sneakers: 'I am getting there and people are judging me more on my tennis and not simply focusing on me being Bjorn Borg's son,' he told itftennis.com in 2019.
'I’m trying to get to the top and my game has come a long way. Before, they were possibly just comparing me to my dad. I didn’t care about it because that’s normal to do, but now I think people are recognising me more and not necessarily seeing my dad.
I know it’s going to follow me all my life, so it’s no big deal for me and it’s something I have to deal with. I have never thought about it too much.'

EUR/USD
The better-than-expected U.S. unemployment data gave the dollar a strong boost and it rose against the single European currency, easily breaching the support at 1.0119. At the time of writing, the price is consolidating around the next support at 1.0086. For now, the bears have settled permanently in the market and it looks like they will have no problem attacking the levels at around parity. There, the bulls could be expected to enter the market and hold off their pressure for a while. Only a breach of the resistance at 1.0188 could be seen as an attempt at forming a range trend that has become so typical of the pair, but this does not seem very likely for now.
USD/JPY
The breach of the resistance at 135.38 proved to be successful, reaffirming the positive sentiment for the appreciation of the dollar against the yen. The next target for the bulls will be the resistance at 137.28. A more sustained bearish reversal is not expected, unless the supports at 134.33 and 133.29 are both overcome.
GBP/USD
The bears managed to break through the support at 1.2020 after the U.S. jobless claims data came in slightly better than expected. At the time of writing the analysis, the price is hovering around the support at 1.1933, where the bulls are trying to hold off the bearish pressure, but the expectations are that they will fail and that the price will likely head towards the support at 1.1804.
EUGERMANY40
During the past session, the price of the German index consolidated in the range between the levels of 13785 and 13620. While the positive sentiments are likely not over yet, should the bears manage to overcome the supports at 13623 and at 13507, then it is possible that we will see a deeper correction towards the level of 13339. If, however, the resistance at 13785 is overcome, then the positive trend will return and the next target for the bulls – the level at 13885 – will likely be easily overcome.
US30
The positive trend for the U.S. blue-chip index is probably not over yet. Although the price has been moving in the range between 34279 and 33829 for the past three sessions, the breach of the support at 33892 has still not been confirmed. Even if it does end up being breached, however, signs of a follow-up correction could only be expected following the breach of the support at 33552. If this does not happen and the resistance at 34279 is overcome instead, then the next level for the bulls will be 34873, which can be seen from the higher time frames. | https://www.actionforex.com/contributors/technical-analysis/459282-daily-technical-analysis-579/ | 2022-08-19T08:45:08Z | https://www.actionforex.com/contributors/technical-analysis/459282-daily-technical-analysis-579/ | false | 1 |
India’s Prime Minister said that a 6G task force has already started work to achieve this goal
The Indian government is expecting the initial rollouts of 6G networks by the end of the decade, local newspaper Business Standard reported, citing Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
According to the prime minister, a task force has already begun work to achieve this goal. The target is in line with other major countries and expectations of major telecom vendors, with as-yet-unstandardized 6G technology expected to come to market around the year 2030.
However, India still needs to deploy 5G networks nationwide. Its domestic telecom industry is awaiting a much-anticipated spectrum auction scheduled for this year.
Speaking at an event of telecommunications regulator TRAI, Modi said it is estimated that the deployment of 5G networks across India will add $450 billion to the local economy.
“This is not just increasing internet speed but also the pace of development and creating jobs,” he said, adding the 5G technology will also boost growth in agriculture, health, education, infrastructure and logistics.
He added that mobile manufacturing units in India have expanded from 2 to over 200 and that the country is “today the world’s biggest mobile manufacturing hub.”
On May 17, Modi also inaugurated the country’s first 5G testbed to enable startups and industry players to test and validate their products locally and reduce dependence on foreign facilities.
The 5G testbed has been developed as a multi-institute collaborative project by eight institutes led by IIT Madras.
The government on India may further reduce the base price of 5G frequencies for the upcoming auction, local press reported Telecom Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw as saying.
The Indian government is expecting the 5G spectrum auction to take place in June, with the initial 5G rollouts expected for September or October.
According to previous reports, India plans to award bands such as 700 MHz, 800 MHz, 900 MHz, 1.8 GHz, 2.1 GHz, 2.3 GHz, 2.5 GHz and 3.3-3.6 GHz bands. Through the spectrum auction, operators will be also able to bid for spectrum in the millimeter-wave band.
Indian operators Reliance Jio Infocomm, Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea previously received a six-month extension from the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) to conduct 5G trials. With this extension, the carriers will be able to carry out 5G trials until May 2022. Initially, telcos had been authorized to test 5G technology until the end of November 2021.
In May last year, the DoT had awarded 5G trial spectrum for six months in the 700 Mhz, 3.5 GHz and 26 GHz bands, paving the way for local carriers to partner and develop 5G use cases.
According to a previous Ericsson report, 5G will represent around 39% of mobile subscriptions in India at the end of 2027, estimated at about 500 million subscriptions.
“4G is expected to remain the dominant technology in India in 2027. However the 4G subscriptions are forecast to drop from 790 million in 2021 to 710 million in 2027, showing an annual average decline of 2%. Thus, 4G subscriptions are expected to reduce from 68 percent of mobile subscriptions in 2021 to 55 percent in 2027 as subscribers migrate to 5G,” Ericsson said. | https://www.rcrwireless.com/20220517/5g/india-expects-first-6g-networks-end-decade-report | 2022-08-19T08:46:02Z | https://www.rcrwireless.com/20220517/5g/india-expects-first-6g-networks-end-decade-report | false | 1 |

China sentenced Chinese-Canadian financier Xiao Jianhua to 13 years in prison and fined his company Tomorrow Holding 55 billion yuan ($AU11.7 billion), bringing an end to a long-running saga that has seen many of the tycoon’s business interests reined in since he was seized in Hong Kong more than five years ago.
Xiao was found guilty of illegally obtaining public deposits, breach of trust, bribery and the illegal use of funds, according to a ruling by the Shanghai First Intermediate People’s Court on Friday. Xiao used his financial network to offer pooled funds and sell insurance and other investment products, absorbing more than 311.6 billion yuan ($AU66.3 billion) from the public alone, according to the court.
The trial marked Xiao’s first public appearance since 2017 when he was taken from his room at the Four Seasons hotel in Hong Kong, where he had been staying for several years after fleeing China. The Hurun Report of China’s richest people said Xiao, a student leader at the time of 1989 pro-democracy protests, was part of a fortune estimated at almost $6 billion before he went missing.
The probe into Xiao and his financial network, which included more than 40 financial institutions, was part of a broader effort by authorities to root out illicit activities and ensure financial stability as confidence in the $59 trillion financial system is eroding.
Chinese regulators assumed control of nine financial firms linked to Xiao in mid-2020, after having seized control of Baoshang Bank Co. - another lender linked to the financier - a year earlier citing its “serious” credit risks.
The country’s central bank in 2018 identified Xiao’s investment conglomerate as one of several “financial holding companies” that needed to be scrutinised in their ownership structure, related transactions and sources of funding.
President Xi Jinping’s administration is attaching greater importance to financial risk control in an economy that’s already facing headwinds from COVID-induced lockdowns and a slumping property market. Beijing in June claimed victory in its anti-corruption dragnet of financial institutions, which had probed or penalised dozens of officials to rein in risks and beef up corporate governance.
Xiao’s Tomorrow Holding used the illegal proceeds mainly for the acquisition of financial institutions, securities trading, overseas investments and others, according to the court. The firm and Xiao returned some of the illegal proceeds through the sale of assets and the repatriation of overseas funds.
The acts of Xiao and his company “seriously damaged the financial management order and seriously endangered the national financial security,” according to the statement. Xiao was also personally fined 6.5 million yuan ($AU1.3 million).
The financier received a lenient sentence after pleading guilty and cooperating in the recovery of stolen goods, the court said.

- Elacestrant, if approved, would be the first oral selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD) to be available for patients suffering from second-line (2L) and third-line (3L) ER+/HER2- advanced or metastatic breast cancer in the European Union
- Submission supported by results from the pivotal Phase 3 EMERALD study showing a statistically significant difference in the efficacy in favor of elacestrant over current standard-of-care (SOC) medications for both the overall study population and patients whose tumors harbor an ESR1 mutation
FLORENCE, Italy and NEW YORK, Aug. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Menarini Group ("Menarini"), a privately held Italian pharmaceutical and diagnostics company, and Stemline Therapeutics ("Stemline"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Menarini Group, today announced that EMA has validated the Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for elacestrant, a selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD), for patients with ER+/HER2- advanced or metastatic breast cancer. Validation of the application confirms the submission is complete and begins EMA's centralized review procedure.
"There is a major unmet need in the treatment of advanced or metastatic ER+/HER2- breast cancer after resistance builds in the earlier lines of treatment" commented Elcin Barker Ergun, Chief Executive Officer of the Menarini Group. "The acceptance of our application for review by the EMA represents a significant step for our company and we look forward to working with the agency to potentially bring elacestrant to patients suffering from second and third line ER+/HER2- advanced or metastatic breast cancer in Europe."
The Phase 3 EMERALD study (NCT03778931) evaluated elacestrant compared to SOC endocrine monotherapy (investigators' choice of either fulvestrant or an aromatase inhibitor) in ER+/HER2- advanced or metastatic breast cancer patients. The study results were recently published online in the Journal of Clinical Oncology (JCO) on May 18, 2022. Further post-hoc analysis from the study will be presented at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2022 taking place September 9-13, 2022, in Paris, France.
The Menarini Group obtained global licensing rights for elacestrant in July 2020 from Radius Health, Inc, who conducted and successfully completed the EMERALD study. Based on the positive phase 3 data, Stemline submitted a MAA to EMA on July 27, 2022. The regulatory review for elacestrant is also underway in the US as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recently accepted a new drug application for elacestrant designating a priority review. The Menarini Group is now fully responsible for global registration, commercialization and further development activities for elacestrant.
About Elacestrant (RAD1901) and the EMERALD Phase 3 Study
Elacestrant is an investigational selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD). In 2018, elacestrant received Fast Track designation from the FDA. Preclinical studies completed prior to EMERALD indicate that the compound has the potential for use as a single agent or in combination with other therapies for the treatment of breast cancer. The EMERALD Phase 3 trial is a randomized, open label, active-controlled study evaluating elacestrant as second- or third-line monotherapy in ER+/HER2- advanced/metastatic breast cancer patients. The study enrolled 477 patients who had received prior treatment with one or two lines of endocrine therapy, including a CDK 4/6 inhibitor. Patients in the study were randomized to receive either elacestrant or the investigator's choice of an approved hormonal agent. The primary endpoint of the study was progression-free survival (PFS) in the overall patient population and in patients with estrogen receptor 1 gene (ESR1) mutations. Secondary endpoints included evaluation of overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), and duration of response (DOR) and safety.

Growing up in the public eye! Maia Mitchell made her TV debut in her native Australia before taking her talents to the United States. The actress became a household name after starring as McKenzie in Disney Channel’s Teen Beach Movie film franchise. From there, she nabbed her iconic role as Callie Adams Foster, which she played from 2013 until 2022 in two shows: The Fosters and Good Trouble.
“I definitely, since my Disney days, have made an effort to delve a little deeper,” Maia told InStyle about her career in an interview originally published in June 2019. “Good Trouble was another really good opportunity to do that. It was a character that I know really well but put in a different light. It’s a little more sophisticated, which was exciting. Some of the themes are … I don’t know if they’re dark, but they’re definitely more serious.”
During the same interview, the former Freeform star got real about her decision to move from Australia to Los Angeles at the age of 18.
“My career is going great and that’s my first priority. So, I will stay here,” she shared. “It’s been a really interesting time of just re-shifting my plans, where I’m at, and being kind to myself in that. It’s been a really weird year.”
Amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Maia changed her mind and put Callie Adams Foster in the past to head back home.
“I know there will be a lot of questions, and after sticking by me for so many years, you deserve transparency,” the actress wrote on Instagram in March 2022 following her final episode of Good Trouble. “Ten years ago, I auditioned for a little pilot called The Fosters. I was 19 with no clue of the luck I had stumbled upon. Years later, I was able to continue my journey as Callie when we formed the Good Trouble family. Two shows, 156 episodes, and a chosen family for life. Lucky me.”
However, she explained that she has “suppressed an undeniable gravitational pull to return home to Australia to be closer to my nearest and dearest.” Maia wrote, “Thus came the need to create the space to split my time between both countries.”
Eventually, she made the decision to move on. But there are still projects for Maia in the future.

Excited to keep going in UK PM race, says Rishi Sunak as polls favour Liz Truss
On the key campaign issue of tackling the country's cost-of-living crisis, Sunak renewed another previous assertion that he would "rather lose" than "say things that can't be delivered".
LONDON: British Prime Minister hopeful Rishi Sunak has said he is excited to keep going in the Conservative Party leadership campaign even as surveys of party voters predict a firm lead for his rival, Foreign Secretary Liz Truss.
In an interview on Thursday with the ITV channel's 'This Morning' programme, the Indian-origin former Chancellor said he 'definitely' had a shot at victory as he reiterated his stance that his rival's instant tax-cutting plans would prove inflationary for the economy.
"I'm really excited to keep going, I think my ideas are the right ones," he said.
Earlier on Thursday, a new YouGov poll for 'Sky News' showed Truss holding on to a solid 32-point lead in the race and other surveys of Tory members who will be voting in this election have shown a similar tilt in favour of Sunak's opponent.
During a wide-ranging discussion on ITV, the ex-minister in Boris Johnson's Cabinet admitted it was a 'bit odd' that his former boss took days before announcing his resignation as Tory leader and British Prime Minister last month in the wake of a deluge of ministerial resignations following his own early exit.
"In the end, it went on for a couple of days" it was a bit odd.
I think people watching it were wondering what was going on," he said, with reference to the political high drama at Downing Street in early July which ultimately ended with Johnson announcing his decision to quit and triggering the leadership election.
Johnson's ministers resigned one after the other early last month after weeks of crisis over the party gate scandal of lockdown law-breaking parties under his watch and a few other scandals involving his close aides.
While Sunak acknowledged that having his Chancellor quit was a big blow to Johnson's leadership, he stressed that it was "not the end of the world".
"The thing that changed it was when 60 members of government all resigned and that happened over the course of a day," he pointed out.
The former finance minister, who has previously also admitted that his ex-boss has not taken any of his calls or messages, said the reaction was understandable.
"I've reached out to him but understandably he's not replied. That's fair but it wasn't just me, at the end of the day, 60 other members of the government all resigned as well," he said.
On the key campaign issue of tackling the country's cost-of-living crisis, Sunak renewed another previous assertion that he would "rather lose" than "say things that can't be delivered".
"I haven't made my life easy, saying things maybe some people don't want to hear. It should be about under-promising and over-delivering, that's how you restore trust in government and politics," said Sunak.
"We've probably not had enough of that. That's why in this leadership race I've not been making lots of easy promises that I think are false, I'd rather lose than say things I don't think can be delivered, I'd rather be honest with people," he said. | https://www.thehansindia.com/news/international/excited-to-keep-going-in-uk-pm-race-says-rishi-sunak-as-polls-favour-liz-truss-758391 | 2022-08-19T09:16:36Z | https://www.thehansindia.com/news/international/excited-to-keep-going-in-uk-pm-race-says-rishi-sunak-as-polls-favour-liz-truss-758391 | false | 9 |

New interactive trail to mark 55 years of NS features bunker in Fort Canning and war memorial
Singaporeans can learn more about the history and significance of National Service (NS) through a new interactive trail in the heart of the city.
Launched on Friday (Aug 19) to commemorate 55 years of NS (NS55), the 3.3km Cepat Jalan trail, named after the Malay drill command which means quick march, passes through seven spots of historical significance.
These are the Battle Box bunker in Fort Canning, the Central Fire Station, the Esplanade, the nearby Civilian War Memorial, Singapore Management University, the Marina Bay floating platform and Clemenceau Avenue.
Visitors going on the trail can use their smartphones to access augmented reality (AR) features via the website, go.gov.sg/NS55trail.
For instance, at the Civilian War Memorial, built in 1967 to remember civilian victims who died in World War II, visitors can watch an AR animation of soldiers paying respects to the fallen.
At Clemenceau Avenue, where hundreds of students gathered to protest against conscription in 1954, visitors can view archival photos of the riots.
Each location also features a quiz which, upon completion, grants participants an AR puzzle piece. Those who collect all seven puzzle pieces will receive a set of NS55 WhatsApp stickers, as well as a digital postcard.
Colonel Lim Han Yong, the head of NS Affairs Department, said the trail was meant to be a fun way to engage Singaporeans and relay the importance of NS.
He said: "We deliberately decided to keep the trail within the city area so that many people can participate."
To encourage even more people to participate, the trail can also be explored virtually, he said.
The virtual trail has five additional landmarks, comprising the Dempsey Hill barracks, the former Taman Jurong Camp - the site of the first NS camp, the Police Heritage Centre, Safra Mount Faber and the upcoming NS Hub in Bukit Gombak slated for completion next year.
All the AR features of the physical trail will be available virtually, and they include a 360-degree view of the landmarks.
Both the physical and virtual trails run from now until July 31 next year and are available only in English. Go to go.gov.sg/NS55trail for more details.

The SLPP General Secretary Sagara Kariyawasam told reporters that the request was made at a meeting held with President Wickremesinghe on Thursday, amid reports that Rajapaksa, who fled the country last month following unprecedented anti-government protests, may return to Sri Lanka next week.
Rajapaksa, 73, fled the country on July 13 after tens of thousands of people stormed into his official residence on July 9.
“We asked the president to facilitate his return and ensure security and necessary facilities,” Kariyawasam said.
The Sri Lanka’s Constitution allows privileges to former presidents, including personal security and an office with staff.
Having gone to the Maldives on a Sri Lanka Airforce plane, the former president proceeded to Singapore from where he sent in his resignation on July 13.Later, he went to Thailand for temporary accommodation and he is expected to return next week from Thailand, a cousin announced on Wednesday.
According to a media report on Thursday, Rajapaksa may apply for a US Green Card as he was eligible to apply due to his wife Loma Rajapaksa being a US citizen.
In 2019, Rajapaksa renounced his US citizenship to contest the 2019 presidential polls.Wickremesinghe was elected the stop-gap President for the balance of Rajapaksa’s term until November 2024.
He was elected on July 20 at a parliamentary secret ballot where he won the secret vote with 134 members in the 225-member assembly opting for him over his nearest rival also from the SLPP.
His opponents now accuse him as a President who is at the mercy of the SLPP who still commands the parliamentary majority despite a jolt where several members had broken away from it when the public outrage rose over its bungling of the ongoing economic crisis, the worst in the island’s history.
Wickremesinghe is now tasked with resurrecting the island’s ailing economy hit by a balance of payment and a forex crisis.
He spearheads an effort to gain an IMF bailout. The SLPP said they would offer him assistance to revive the economy.
Sri Lanka is in the midst of an unprecedented economic crisis that has led to severe shortages of fuel and other essentials.
The island nation of 22 million needs about USD 5 billion in the next six months to cover basic necessities for its citizens, who have been struggling with long queues, worsening shortages of essentials and frequent power cuts. | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/world/sri-lanka-ruling-party-urges-ranil-wickremesinghe-to-facilitate-return-of-ex-president-gotabaya-rajapaksa-9056371.html | 2022-08-19T09:28:45Z | https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/world/sri-lanka-ruling-party-urges-ranil-wickremesinghe-to-facilitate-return-of-ex-president-gotabaya-rajapaksa-9056371.html | true | 4 |

WINDSOR, Conn., Aug. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: SSNC) today announced that the SS&C GlobeOp Forward Redemption Indicator for August 2022 measured 2.35%, up from 1.82% in July.

"Since the outbreak of COVID-19, hedge funds have seen redemptions decrease markedly from historical levels. Moreover, the most recent data points show while redemption levels may no longer be falling rapidly, they continue to run at or near record lows. Under these conditions, hedge fund asset retention should remain strong."
The SS&C GlobeOp Forward Redemption Indicator represents the sum of forward redemption notices received from investors in hedge funds administered by SS&C GlobeOp on the SS&C GlobeOp platform, divided by the AuA at the beginning of the month for SS&C GlobeOp fund administration clients on the SS&C GlobeOp platform.

The next publication date is September 22, 2022.
Published on the 15th business day of the month, the SS&C GlobeOp Forward Redemption Indicator presents a timely and accurate view of the redemption pipeline for investors in hedge funds on the SS&C GlobeOp administration platform. Movements in the Indicator reflect investor confidence in their allocations to hedge funds. Indicator data is based on actual investor redemption notifications received. Unlike subscriptions, redemption notifications are typically received 30-90 days in advance of the redemption date. Investors may, and sometimes do, cancel redemption notices. In addition, the establishment and enforcement of redemption notices may vary from fund to fund.

It's a cruel end to another Englishman's time in Canberra, with Raiders prop Ryan Sutton needing season-ending surgery to a finger tendon.
Given he's joining Canterbury next year, that means his time in lime green has come to an end - just as it did for Raiders hooker Josh Hodgson (knee), who joins Parramatta in 2023.

But in some positive injury news for Canberra, Joe Tapine (ribs) was expected to play after missing last week's win over St George Illawarra.
Raiders coach Ricky Stuart said they were fortunate to have depth in their middle forwards to cover Sutton.
Emre Guler has hit form at the right time, while Corey Horsburgh has recovered from a horrifying bout of pneumonia.
That, plus Tapine's return, was a massive boost for the finals hopes as they chase three straight wins to have a chance of playing finals.
That starts against the Newcastle Knights at Newcastle on Sunday.
"Yeah Joe's good. Ryan Sutton will probably be out for the year now," Stuart said.
"He has an operation pending with a ligament in his hand that needs surgery so that will rule him out for the rest of the season.
"Fortunately, we're in a good position in the middles.
"We've got Corey Horsburgh, who has come in and has done a wonderful job since he's come back from pneumonia. I thought he was very strong last week.
"Emre Guler's in some very, very good form and I've got Corey Harawira-Naera there too.
"I've got experience and people in good form.
"It's disappointing for Sutto, probably playing his last game for the club, but he's a very valued member of the team still - he leaves on the note he's playing some of his best football."
MORE RAIDERS NEWS
The Raiders fly to Newcastle on a chartered flight following their captain's run on Saturday and will return straight after the game on Sunday night.
They're flying into a storm that's descended on the Hunter this week with their captain Kalyn Ponga and Kurt Mann target-tested for illicit drugs after a picture emerged of the pair leaving a toilet cubicle together.
Knights coach Adam O'Brien's also under the pump over the team's performance this season, while two players were dropped this week for missing the team bus.

Stuart felt for the Newcastle club and expected them to bounce back - he just doesn't want it to be against them.
"We don't want be the club that cops the sting from a club in a little bit of a difficult situation," he said.
"I feel for the club. They're a great club Newcastle, they always have been.
"They'd be hurting at the moment and they want to get it fixed. And they will."
Part of that will be starting to ice games.
They were 24-12 up against the Dragons on Sunday before letting the visitors back into the game in the final 15 minutes to set up an exciting finish.

"We've got to learn from that. We've got to be able to stay on task and stay to our standards of play and go away with those games," Stuart said.
"It's not something we've done well or consistently over a few years so it's something for the off-season we've got to work on."

Steve Cooper enjoying Nottingham Forest spending spree
Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper insists an “exciting challenge” lies ahead after a complete revamp of his newly-promoted squad.
Forest ended their 23-year Premier League exile last season and have responded by making wholesale changes in a bid to stave off an immediate return to the Sky Bet Championship.
Morgan Gibbs-White is poised to become their 16th summer signing after they agreed a £25million fee, which could rise to over £40m, with Wolves for the midfielder.
Cooper said of his City Ground overhaul: “Well we’re enjoying it that’s for sure and we’re certainly facing up to it because it’s a reality.
“We’re not seeing it as a negative and not seeing it as a disadvantage because if you see it like that then you’re already on a downer with it. So we’re enjoying it.”
The former England Under-17s and Swansea boss added: “I’ve worked in international football when you get two or three days to try and put a team together to play in a European qualifier or tournament, with a group of players from different clubs in different parts of the country.
“So that’s an exciting challenge and for me it’s a great experience, a new experience at club level, to be able to do this.”
Gibbs-White, 22, is set to be reunited with Cooper after spending the first half of the 2020-21 season on loan at Swansea when the latter was in charge.
Forest completed their 15th summer signing last weekend following the arrivals of Emmanuel Dennis, Cheikhou Kouyate and Remo Freuler, who could all be in contention for Saturday’s Premier League game at Everton.
Jesse Lingard, Dean Henderson and Taiwo Awoniyi had been among the club’s new arrivals earlier this summer.
Cooper added: “Quite rightly I get asked every week by people about the amount of players coming in and I completely understand that. It’s the right question to ask.
“But we had no alternative. It was inevitable. We were getting prepared for it for a long while and we’re still in that process.
“All we can do is keep trying to build layers day by day, in the way that we work and behave.”
Forest were bottom of the Championship when they appointed Cooper as Chris Hughton’s permanent successor in September 2021.
The following May they beat Huddersfield in the play-off final to trigger a summer spending spree that will not end with the pending arrival of Gibbs-White.
Cooper added: “I definitely think there will be some more ins and outs. I don’t know who, or how many, which is obviously the next question.
“But there’s still the best part of a couple of weeks to go (before the transfer window closes) and a lot can still happen.”

ATLANTA (AP) — Prosecutors investigating whether Donald Trump committed crimes as he sought to overturn his 2020 election defeat in Georgia are running into increasing resistance as they seek to call witnesses to testify before a special grand jury.
The latest illustration of that came Wednesday, when lawyers for Republican Gov. Brian Kemp filed a motion to quash a subpoena for his testimony, accusing the office of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, a Democrat, of pursuing his testimony for “improper political purposes.” Willis rejected that characterization, describing it as dishonest.
Kemp is just one of several witnesses who have pushed back against Willis’ attempt to compel their testimony in a case investigating potential criminal interference in an election. Late Wednesday, U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham formally appealed a judge’s order requiring him to testify before the special grand jury on Aug. 23. And John Eastman, a conservative lawyer who aided Trump’s efforts to undo the 2020 election results, has also pushed back against his subpoena, with a judge in New Mexico on Wednesday rejecting his request and ordering him to travel to Atlanta to testify before the special grand jury.
The witnesses’ reluctance to testify in the case reflects the high stakes of the investigation, which is just one of a long list of serious legal threats that Trump is facing that have intensified in recent weeks. It also demonstrates the power that Trump continues to wield over the Republican Party as he prepares for an expected 2024 presidential campaign.
Willis opened the investigation early last year, prompted by a January 2021 phone call between Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. During that conversation, Trump suggested the state’s top elections official could “find” the exact number of votes that would be needed to flip the election results in Georgia. Denying wrongdoing, Trump has described the call as “perfect.”
About a month earlier, Trump had called Kemp, asking him to order a special legislative session to overturn Biden’s victory in the state.
Kemp was scheduled to be questioned under oath by Willis’ team on July 25 in a session that was to be recorded and later played for the special grand jury. Asked by The Associated Press later that day to confirm that the governor had appeared for that meeting, Kemp spokesperson Katie Byrd declined to comment, citing “respect for the grand jury process.”
As it turns out, Kemp never met with Willis’ team.
His lawyers wrote in their motion Wednesday that Willis’ team canceled that meeting and issued a subpoena after Kemp’s attorneys asked about the scope of the interview.
Correspondence attached to the motion indicates that communications between Brian McEvoy, a lawyer for the governor, and the district attorney’s office turned sour in mid-June and then fell apart in late July.
In an email calling the investigation “politically motivated,” McEvoy said Kemp would only sit for the interview if Willis’ office agreed not to issue a subpoena for his testimony. He also demanded disclosure of questions and topics beforehand and said neither party could record the interview.
Willis issued a scathing response, accusing McEvoy of being rude to her team and calling his email “offensive and beneath an officer of the court.” She said she had offered the taped interview as a courtesy, but that that offer was now “off the table” and the governor would be subpoenaed.
“There’s an old adage that people take kindness for weakness. You have taken my kindness as weakness and you have continually treated this investigation with disdain,” Willis wrote. “Despite your disdain this investigation continues and will not be derailed by anyone’s antics.”
Kemp’s subpoena called for him to appear before the special grand jury Thursday. Byrd said in an email that he had been excused from appearing pending a ruling on his motion to quash. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney, who’s overseeing the special grand jury, has set an Aug. 25 hearing on the motion.
In Santa Fe, New Mexico, on Wednesday, Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer ruled that Eastman was a material witness and had not proved that traveling to Atlanta would cause an undue hardship for him. Rejecting arguments from Eastman’s lawyer, she said any concerns about attorney-client privilege and his right to assert the Fifth Amendment should be addressed by the judge in Atlanta.
Eastman had told lawmakers during a Dec. 3, 2020, legislative committee hearing at the Georgia Capitol that they had “both the lawful authority and a ‘duty’ to replace” the certified Democratic presidential electors, citing unfounded claims of widespread election fraud in the state, Willis wrote in a court filing.
He also drafted at least two memos to the Trump campaign and others detailing a plan by which then-Vice President Mike Pence, as president of the U.S. Senate, could refuse to count some of the electoral votes won by Biden, Willis wrote.
And in South Carolina on Wednesday, Graham appealed a judge’s Monday order requiring him to testify before the special grand jury. Prosecutors have indicated they’re interested in phone calls he made to Raffensperger and his staff in the weeks following the election.
The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will consider Graham’s request. Graham’s legal team also asked a federal judge to put his special grand jury appearance on hold during the appeal process.

Introducing Huginn
ESA astronaut Andreas Mogensen of Denmark is set to return to the International Space Station for his first long-duration Station mission. With only one year left before his launch in mid-2023, a name for the mission has been chosen: Huginn.
This name, chosen by Andreas, originates in Norse mythology with Huginn and Muninn – two raven accomplices of the god Odin. Together, the two symbolise the human mind, with Huginn representing thought, and Muninn, memory.
These birds are not mere spies or messengers for the highest god, they also serve as his confidants and advisors, speaking with human language. At dawn, Odin sends them out to fly across the whole of Midgard, in order to gather worldly knowledge to report back each evening.
The parallels between this ancient tale and human spaceflight are clear – during his time on the Station, Andreas will conduct many cutting-edge scientific experiments, the results of which will be translated to improving life back here on Earth. As Andreas himself explains:
"Astronauts are explorers that travel into space to gather information and expand our knowledge of our world, much like Huginn, who was sent out each day to fly around the world and bring back information to Odin.
“I'm very pleased with the name Huginn, as it is so symbolic of my upcoming mission to the International Space Station,” Andreas continued. “The patch that ESA has designed around the name is also beautiful and unique."
The mission patch itself, created by ESA graphic designer Karen Lochtenberg, is rendered in the red and white of the Danish flag, alongside ESA’s own ‘Deep Space Blue’. Like many patches before it, it is rich in symbolism relating to the ethos of the mission.
Huginn is depicted flying to the right, moving into the future as he glides over an Earth-rise horizon, which could also be seen as the Moon or Mars. Huginn’s wing includes shading in the shape of Andreas’ homeland, Denmark, while the white of the wing’s highlight – referred to by the designer as the ‘swoosh’ – depicts the journey to the Space Station itself from Andreas’ birthplace in Copenhagen.
Two stripes on Huginn’s back depict the distinctive solar arrays of the Station, and also represent that this is Andreas’ second Station mission. Six stars adorning the sky of this patch form a constellation that resembles the Viking symbol for 'safe travels'.
Andreas is scheduled to fly on a SpaceX Crew Dragon as part of Crew-7 to the International Space Station, but is also ready as backup pilot for Crew-6. He previously spent 10 days in space on a Space Station mission called ‘iriss’ in 2015.

Weather warning lifted for Corsica after violent storms left 5 dead
PARIS, Aug 19 (Reuters) - France's weather forecaster lifted a major storm warning for Corsica on Friday, a day after hurricane-strength winds and rain ripped across the Mediterranean island, killing five people.
A natural catastrophe decree is expected to be approved next week, which will help residents and businesses with insurance claims for damage caused by the storm, regional leader Gilles Simeoni told franceinfo radio.
Hail, heavy rain and winds peaking at 225 km per hour (140 mph) swept the island on Thursday morning, smashing boats and cars, uprooting trees and damaging houses.
The storm hit Corsica as parts of mainland France - which has been hit by a series of heatwaves, wildfires and severe drought over the past weeks - also saw more rain in just a few hours than in recent months combined.
"It's such a paradox," Simeoni told franceinfo. "For weeks we had been living in fear of fires ... and this rain which was supposed to be beneficial turned into a deadly windstorm."
Two of the victims, including a teenage girl, were killed when trees fell in campsites, two were at sea and one died when a beach hut hit her car. In Italy, two people also died in storms on Thursday.
More rain and some storms were still possible in Corsica on Friday, forecaster Meteo France said after it downgraded the weather warning level from "orange" to "yellow".
More than 5,000 holidaymakers on the island who had been evacuated to temporary shelters should be able to go back to their campsites on Friday, Simeoni said.

Millions of Britons are being urged to update their iPhones and other Apple devices after the technology giant confirmed the discovery of a major security flaw.
The technology giant has issued software updates for the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac computers to fix a newly uncovered software issue, telling users the update “provides important security updates and is recommended for all users”.
The flaw could potentially allow hackers to take complete control of affected devices, cybersecurity experts said, and Apple confirmed that it was “aware of a report that this issue may have been actively exploited”.
But industry experts have encouraged Apple users to “stay calm” on the issue.
There have so far been no confirmed reports of specific cases where the security flaw had been used against people or devices.
Apple’s published disclosure of the issue said it was reported to them by an anonymous researcher.
The update has been made available to the iPhone 6s and later, all models of the iPad Pro, the iPad Air 2 and later, iPad 5th generation and later, iPad mini 4 and later, and the iPod touch (7th generation).
Mac users running macOS Monterey are also being encouraged to update.
Cybersecurity experts have encouraged the public to update their devices as soon as possible to protect themselves against the flaw, but also urged people not to panic.
Brian Higgins, security specialist at Comparitech, said: “It’s very rare for them to go public like this, which means everyone should take this threat seriously and update as soon as they are able.
“If Apple think it’s so serious that they need to go public, then if you haven’t already installed iOS 15.6.1 you need to go and do it right now.”
Sam Curry, chief security officer at Cybereason, said: “Regardless of Apple’s recent disclosure of a serious vulnerability affecting millions of iPhones, iPads and Macs, it wouldn’t be prudent for anyone to panic.
“While the vulnerability could allow threat actors to take full control of a device, stay calm and simply get control of your devices and download the software updates available from Apple.
“Do that and move on. In a rare case, we will find out how threat actors were able to exploit the current vulnerabilities. Overall, follow Apple instructions if you think you are infected and consult your IT department at work, school, etc, as needed for more information.
“With billions of Apple devices in use around the world, security can’t be a luxury for Apple and it’s not, it’s a responsibility they take seriously.
“Failing is OK as no-one is perfect. Failing consistently is not. Generally, Apple is a more secure platform, but they must continue to invest and demonstrate that continued commitment going forward.” | https://www.irishexaminer.com/world/arid-40943453.html | 2022-08-19T10:00:28Z | https://www.irishexaminer.com/world/arid-40943453.html | true | 8 |
WILMINGTON, Del. – President Joe Biden will host a White House summit next month aimed at combating a spate of hate-fueled violence in the U.S., as he works to deliver on his campaign pledge to “heal the soul of the nation.”
The White House announced Friday that Biden will host the United We Stand Summit on Sept. 15, highlighting the “corrosive effects” of violence on public safety and democracy. Advocates pushed Biden to hold the event after 10 Black people were killed at a Buffalo, New York, supermarket in May, aiming as well to address a succession of hate-driven violence in cities including El Paso, Texas, Pittsburgh and Oak Creek, Wisconsin.
“As President Biden said in Buffalo after the horrific mass shooting earlier this year, in the battle for the soul of our nation 'we must all enlist in this great cause of America,'” press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement. ”The United We Stand Summit will present an important opportunity for Americans of all races, religions, regions, political affiliations, and walks of life to take up that cause together."
Biden will deliver a keynote speech at the gathering, which the White House says will include civil rights groups, faith leaders, business executives, law enforcement, gun violence prevention advocates, former members of violent hate groups, the victims of extremist violence and cultural figures. The White House emphasized that it also intends to bring together Democrats and Republicans, as well as political leaders on the federal, state and local levels to unite against hate-motivated violence.
Biden, a Democrat, has frequently cited 2017's white supremacist protest in Charlottesville, Virginia, with bringing him out of political retirement to challenge then-President Donald Trump in 2020. He promised during that campaign to work to bridge political and social divides and to promote national unity, but fulfilling that cause remains a work in progress.
Sindy Benavides, the CEO of League of United Latin American Citizens, said the genesis of the summit came after the Buffalo massacre, as her organization along with the Anti-Defamation League, the National Action Network and other groups wanted to press the Biden administration to more directly tackle extremist threats.
“As civil rights organizations, social justice organizations, we fight every day against this, and we wanted to make sure to acknowledge that government needs to have a leading role in addressing right-wing extremism," she said.
The White House did not outline the lineup of speakers or participants, saying it would come closer to the event. It also would not preview any specific policy announcements by Biden. Officials noted Biden last year signed the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act and released the nation's first National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism.
Benavides said Biden holding the summit would help galvanize the country to address the threats of hate-inspired violence but also said she hoped for “long-term solutions” to emerge from the summit.
“What’s important to us is addressing mental health, gun control reform, addressing misinformation, disinformation and malinformation,” she said. "We want policy makers to focus on common sense solutions so we don’t see this type of violence in our communities. And we want to see the implementation of policies that reduce violence."

A final decision on Casemiro’s move from Real Madrid to Manchester United could be made on Friday.
This was confirmed by football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, on Thursday.
Romano tweeted: “Casemiro deal. Negotiations are now in progress on both player and club sides with Manchester United, talks will continue on Friday to make final decision.
“Man Utd have offered Casemiro a longer contract than the current one with a huge salary – but absolutely not double.”
Casemiro is said to be tempted by United’s offer that came in this week.
It’s understood the prospect of signing a five-year contract at 30, that will see him double his wages, is appealing to him. | https://bioreports.net/transfer-final-decision-on-casemiros-move-to-man-utd-due-on-friday/ | 2022-08-19T10:11:43Z | https://bioreports.net/transfer-final-decision-on-casemiros-move-to-man-utd-due-on-friday/ | true | null |

A thug was this week jailed for three years and four months for attacking and injuring two women at addresses in Bridge of Allan.
John Jallil had admitted assaulting one woman at an address in the town’s Carsaig Court on June 12, 2021, to her severe injury, and assaulting the other woman, at a neighbouring address, to her injury.
The 31-year-old, of Gillespie Terrace, Old Plean, had repeatedly struck one woman on the body with a knife and sat astride her and struggled while holding the knife.
Jallil had repeatedly struck the neighbour on the head with a brick.
He appeared at Stirling Sheriff Court on Wednesday for sentence via videolink from Low Moss prison.
The court heard that the woman in the knife attack sustained five cuts to her left arm.
Jallil’s lawyer told the court that a doctor’s report prepared for the court pointed to Jallil having occasional paranoia - and that alcohol had exacerbated this. Alcohol had been a “significant factor” in the assaults which had not been planned and were “entirely impulsive”.
The woman in the knife attack had been a relative, but Jallil did not know the other woman at all.
His lawyer said Jallil had expressed regret and had shown “some insight into the impact on the victims”.

Sheriff Derek Hamilton told Jallil that the charges on the indictment were very serious ones, noting that after having struck the woman with the knife she had to struggle to get the weapon from him, and it was fortunate that the injuries were not more severe.
He described the matters as “extremely concerning” but added that he accepted that Jallil had shown some remorse.
Jallil also had a criminal record - some of that involving violence towards police officers.
Sheriff Hamilton told Jallil that there was no alternative to a custodial sentence adding: “It has to be a lengthy one.”
In the circumstances it was appropriate to impose a five-year jail term. However, since Jallil had tendered an early guilty plea he discounted the sentence to one of 40 months’ imprisonment backdated to July 13 when Jallil had been remanded in custody. | https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/local-news/thug-who-attacked-two-women-27780581 | 2022-08-19T10:17:53Z | https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/local-news/thug-who-attacked-two-women-27780581 | false | 1 |
