Looking at the underlying holdings of the ETFs in our coverage universe at ETF Channel, we have compared the trading price of each holding against the average analyst 12-month forward target price, and computed the weighted average implied analyst target price for the ETF itself. For the WisdomTree U.S. High Dividend Fund ETF (Symbol: DHS), we found that the implied analyst target price for the ETF based upon its underlying holdings is $94.40 per unit.
With DHS trading at a recent price near $85.85 per unit, that means that analysts see 9.96% upside for this ETF looking through to the average analyst targets of the underlying holdings. Three of DHS's underlying holdings with notable upside to their analyst target prices are Farmers National Banc Corp. (Symbol: FMNB), GCM Grosvenor Inc (Symbol: GCMG), and Cogent Communications Holdings, Inc. (Symbol: CCOI). Although FMNB has traded at a recent price of $14.40/share, the average analyst target is 28.47% higher at $18.50/share. Similarly, GCMG has 27.10% upside from the recent share price of $8.13 if the average analyst target price of $10.33/share is reached, and analysts on average are expecting CCOI to reach a target price of $67.50/share, which is 18.71% above the recent price of $56.86. Below is a twelve month price history chart comparing the stock performance of FMNB, GCMG, and CCOI:
Below is a summary table of the current analyst target prices discussed above:
Are analysts justified in these targets, or overly optimistic about where these stocks will be trading 12 months from now? Do the analysts have a valid justification for their targets, or are they behind the curve on recent company and industry developments? A high price target relative to a stock's trading price can reflect optimism about the future, but can also be a precursor to target price downgrades if the targets were a relic of the past. These are questions that require further investor research.

A Twitter whistleblower alleges major security lapses at social media firm
Twitter has substantial security problems that place personal user data and potentially national security at risk according to a former company executive turned whistleblower, it has been reported.
According to a disclosure sent to the US Congress and federal agencies last month and obtained by CNN and the Washington Post, Twitter’s former head of security claims the company allows too many people to access the platform’s central controls and some sensitive information.
Peiter “Mudge” Zatko, who was sacked by Twitter in January, has claimed some of the company’s senior executives have been trying to cover up serious security vulnerabilities and that one or more current employees may be working for a foreign intelligence service.
According to reports, Mr Zatko’s disclosure alleges that Twitter executives have misled its own board and US regulators about security vulnerabilities, and that the platform could be susceptible to foreign interference or spying and hacking.
His claims include allegations of poor basic security practices, with as many as thousands of staff members able to access the sensitive central controls of the platform and a lack of transparency around who has accessed what data and when.
In addition, it has been reported the disclosure claims that Twitter does not have the ability to fully calculate the true number of bot or fake accounts on the platform – an issue which has become central to billionaire Elon Musk’s protracted and now stalled takeover which is currently heading for trial in the US in October, with Twitter looking to force through the £37.4 billion deal.
Mr Zatko’s lawyer told CNN that the whistleblower had not been in contact with Mr Musk and that Mr Zatko had started the whistleblowing process before there was any awareness of Mr Musk’s attempts to buy the platform.
The disclosure also claims the US government provided specific evidence to Twitter shortly before Mr Zatko left the company that at least one of its employees was working for another government’s intelligence service.
However, the whistleblower’s report does not state whether Twitter was already aware of this or if subsequent action was taken.
Mr Zatko said he had attempted to raise the alleged security lapses with Twitter’s board and claims his public whistleblowing comes after those attempts failed.
In response, Twitter disputed Mr Zatko’s account of the company’s practices.
“Mr Zatko was fired from his senior executive role at Twitter in January 2022 for ineffective leadership and poor performance,” a Twitter spokesperson said.
“What we’ve seen so far is a false narrative about Twitter and our privacy and data security practices that is riddled with inconsistencies and inaccuracies, and lacks important context.
“Mr Zatko’s allegations and opportunistic timing appear designed to capture attention and inflict harm on Twitter, its customers and its shareholders. Security and privacy have long been company-wide priorities at Twitter and will continue to be.”

Daughter of Russian Nationalist Hailed as Martyr
by Reuters and Algemeiner Staff
Russian politicians bade farewell at a service on Tuesday to Darya Dugina, the daughter of one of Russia’s most prominent nationalist ideologues, hailing her as a martyr whose death must inspire Russian forces fighting in Ukraine.
Dugina, the daughter of ultra-nationalist Alexander Dugin, was killed on Saturday in a car bomb attack outside Moscow. Russia’s FSB security service has accused Ukrainian intelligence agencies of masterminding her murder, something Kyiv denies.
As the six-month anniversary of what Russia calls its “special military operation” in Ukraine looms on Wednesday, Dugina’s death has prompted calls among Moscow’s political elite for revenge. The US Embassy in Kyiv has warned of an increased possibility of Russian military strikes.
“I consider it a barbarous crime for which there can be no forgiveness,” Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.

“I hope the investigation will be quickly completed and according to the results of this investigation of course there can be no mercy for the organizers, those who commissioned this, and the perpetrators,” he told reporters.
Moscow’s TV center was the setting for a major show of national mourning as senior politicians, fellow nationalists and friends filed past Dugina’s dark wooden casket to say goodbye, lay flowers and convey their condolences to her parents, seated nearby.
A large black and white photograph of the dead woman, 30, who worked as a journalist and nationalist media commentator, hung on a black wall behind her casket as somber music played.
Her father, Dugin, 60, who has for years advocated the creation of a new Russian empire that would absorb the territory of countries such as Ukraine, told mourners his daughter had died for Russia.
“If her tragic death has touched someone, she would have asked them to defend sacred (Russian) Orthodoxy, the people and the Fatherland,” said Dugin, dressed in black and visibly distressed.
“She died for Russia, in the motherland and on the frontline which is not in Ukraine but here.”
CALL FOR UNITY
Konstantin Malofeyev, a close family friend and a wealthy ultra-nationalist business tycoon, set the tone for many of the tributes that followed from Russian politicians, hailing the murdered woman as a martyr whose death made it all the more important for Russia to prevail against Ukraine.
“The people fighting against us do not understand that the Russian people is not just made up of those who are alive now. But is made up of those who lived before us and will live afterwards. And we will become stronger with the blood of our martyrs.
“And thanks to the untimely end of our dear beloved Dasha (Darya) we will definitely be victorious in this war,” he said.
Russia accuses the United States and its allies of using Ukraine to wage a proxy war against it, including by supplying Kyiv with weapons and intelligence. The West says it is helping Ukraine to defend itself against an imperial-style land grab by Moscow.
The parliamentary leaders of the three main pro-Kremlin parties spoke at the service, hailing Dugina as a patriot and promising that those who had ordered and carried out her murder would get their just deserts.
Leonid Slutsky, leader of the nationalist LDPR party, predicted that streets and squares would be named after Dugina before issuing a call for unity.
“One country, one president, one victory,” Slutsky told mourners.
A message of condolence was also read out from a Russian-backed leader in eastern Ukraine, and Sergei Mironov, who leads the Just Russia party in parliament, called for the destruction of what he called “the regime” in Kyiv.
“Victory will be the best monument to Dasha,” said Mironov. | https://www.algemeiner.com/2022/08/23/daughter-of-russian-nationalist-hailed-as-martyr/ | 2022-08-23T15:01:15Z | https://www.algemeiner.com/2022/08/23/daughter-of-russian-nationalist-hailed-as-martyr/ | false | 5 |

Nineteen Students Nationwide Received Award From Operator of Manufactured Home Communities
CORALVILLE, Iowa, Aug. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A Coralville student was among the 19 recipients of academic scholarships from Havenpark Communities, an operator and developer of manufactured home communities in Iowa and around the country. The scholarship recipients are awarded up to $10,000 annually to cover expenses for colleges, universities, trade, and vocational schools.
The scholarship awards are part of Havenpark's expansion of its Education Success Program, which offers financial assistance, support, mentorship, and other education initiatives to increase educational opportunities for residents. Through the mentoring program, which provides students – many of whom are first-generation college students—with encouragement and support, students are set up to succeed in their journey to certificate or degree attainment.
Omar Rodriguez Jr., a first-generation college student, finished high school this spring at City High School in Iowa City. During his time there, Rodriguez was involved in Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) as well as several advanced-level courses. He says his mother and experience in AVID were great resources when seeking information about college. He plans to attend the University of Iowa in the fall and is leaning toward majoring in civil engineering, though he is not set on it.
"I'm interested in how civil engineering applies designing into the real world. I became interested in this in middle school. We had a fun class called Applied Technology, where we explored different types of engineering such as electrical, biomedical, and nuclear," said Rodriguez.
Rodriguez says that he's grateful to be a scholarship recipient of Havenpark's Education Success Program. "I'm hoping to get a good sense of what I want to do in my career when I get to college," Rodriguez says if his friends could describe him in one word, they would say that he's dedicated.
"Hearing about Omar's compelling interests such as art and engineering were amazing. Omar is eager to take this next step in his education journey, and I can't wait to see what he becomes after he finishes school," said Robbie Pratt, CEO of Havenpark Communities. "The Education Success Program and its impact on residents brings pure joy to the staff at Havenpark."
The 2022 competitive scholarship application period ran from December 15, 2021, to January 31, 2022, with about half of the applicants rewarded with scholarships. To be eligible for consideration, applicants needed to have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or above, be either a current resident of a Havenpark community or have a parent/guardian who is a resident, and must plan to enroll or continue enrollment in full-time or part-time undergraduate study at an accredited two-year or four-year college, university, or vocational-technical school in the United States for the entire 2022-2023 academic year. Awards may transfer from a two-year institution to a four-year intuition and vice versa.
Havenpark Communities is an operator and developer of manufactured home communities and makes caring communities attainable for responsible residents across America. Since 2017, Havenpark has sourced and installed over 4,000 new factory-built homes, providing quality, affordable living to over 10,000 Americans across the country. Earlier this year, Havenpark Communities announced it has committed to adding an additional 1,000 new affordable homes across the country, including in Iowa in the coming year. Havenpark Communities believes in respectful and professional management, well-maintained communities, and attainable homeownership. Havenpark Communities makes long-term investments in its communities, providing enduring value for current and future residents.

UKSSSC paper leak case: Government helicopter sent to accused Hakam Singh Rawat's village in 2018
Hakam Singh Rawat, the mastermind arrested in connection with the question paper leak of the Uttrakhand Subordinate Service Selection Commission (UKSSSC) examination in 2021, has also been accused of using government resources for personal use.
- Country:
- India
Hakam Singh Rawat, the mastermind arrested in connection with the question paper leak of the Uttarakhand Subordinate Service Selection Commission (UKSSSC) examination in 2021, has also been accused of using government resources for personal use. Rawat was arrested earlier this month for allegedly taking money from candidates for providing solved question papers in the graduate-level examination held on December 4 and 5 last year.
It is alleged that Rawat, the Uttarkashi panchayat member had asked for a government helicopter to transport his ailing mother for her treatment. It has also been alleged that his mother was treated at government expense from the Disaster Management Relief Fund. This has been confirmed by a 'letter' going viral on the Internet. On August 10, 2018, during the tenure of former Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat, a helicopter was made available for the treatment of his mother at the behest of Hakam Singh.
It has been reported that when the health of Hakam's mother deteriorated during the Trivendra Singh government in 2018, the DM of Uttarkashi wrote a letter to the Additional Secretary of Disaster Management for a helicopter and SDM Purola also sent a team of the health department to village Liwari. It is worth mentioning that Liwari is 25 km away from the nearest road. After getting the helicopter, Hakam Singh took to Facebook to express his gratitude to the administrative officers including CM Rawat.
Notably, on August 13, Special Task Force (STF) detained Singh, a Panchayat member in connection with the issue. "Suspected District Panchayat member Hakam Singh has been detained by STF in connection with the Uttarakhand Subordinate Selection Commission exam paper leak case. He has been detained by the STF from Arakot on the Himachal border for questioning," SSP, Uttarakhand STF Ajay Singh has said.
After the disclosure of irregularities in the recruitment of various examinations of the Subordinate Commission, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami had ordered strict action, after which the Special Task Force has so far arrested 18 accused. Earlier this month, Senior Superintendent of Police of STF, Uttarakhand, Ajay Singh said that Gaurav Chauhan, Additional Private Secretary working in Public Works and Forest Department of state Secretariat was arrested in connection with the USSSC paper leak case.
Singh further informed that the deal was struck by the accused with two candidates for Rs 15 lakh each, out of which Rs 24 lakh were obtained by the accused through the candidates after the results of the examination. A Special Task Force (STF) had been constituted to investigate alleged irregularities, according to sources. The Dehradun Police had registered a case against unidentified persons in the case of alleged rigging in the graduationlevel recruitment examination.
After the registration of the case, the Police Headquarters (PHQ) handed over the investigation of the matter to the STF. The probe was ordered by the state director general of police Ashok Kumar under the direction of chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami.
The UKSSSC conducted a written exam on December 4 and 5 last year (2021). This was the biggest examination of the commission for 854 posts, in which 13 categories of posts of different departments were to be filled. (ANI)

A city court on Tuesday sent a BJP legislator Raja Singh to judicial custody for 14 days for making derogatory remarks against Prophet Muhammad.
Raja Singh, who was arrested on Tuesday morning, was presented at Nampally Criminal Court amid tight security and high tension due to protests by his supporters and those opposed to him.
Police had resorted to baton charge to disperse the two groups who were raising slogans against each other.
Fourteenth Additional Metropolitan Magistrate remanded Raja Singh to judicial custody for two weeks. He is likely to be shifted to Chanchalguda Central Prison.
The member of Telangana Assembly was arrested in the morning after massive protests by Muslims at various places in Hyderabad demanding strong and immediate action against him.
Police registered cases against Raja Singh at various police stations in Hyderabad and other parts of Telangana. At Mangalhat police station, he was booked under Indian Penal Code sections 153-A (promoting enmity between different groups on ground of religion), 295-A (deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs), 505 (2) (making, publishing or circulating any statement or report containing rumour or alarming news with intent to create or promote feelings of enmity and hatred) and 506 (criminal intimidation).
The MLA was also booked at Bahadurpura, Dabeerpura and Balanagar police stations in Hyderabad and in Sangareddy and Nizamabad districts.
Raja Singh on Monday night uploaded a video on Facebook making derogatory comments against the Prophet, triggering massive public outrage.
Scores of Muslims gathered at the police commissioner's office and also at different police stations on Monday night. The protesters demanded immediate action against Raja Singh. The protesters were taken into preventive custody and shifted to various police stations.
Protests were held at Bahadurpura, Bhavani Nagar, Nampally, Dabeerpura and other areas.
Leaders of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) lodged complaints against the BJP MLA at various police stations including Dabeerpura police station.
Raja Singh was taken into preventive custody last Saturday for threatening to disrupt comedian Munawar Faruqui's show. The comedian's show was held amid tight security.
The BJP MLA, who had alleged that the comedian insulted Hindu gods, posted a video on Facebook last night saying it was a 'comedy' video like Faruqui's comedy. The video was later removed.
Raja Singh, who allegedly repeated the derogatory remarks made by former BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma, denied that he insulted sentiments of any community. He said it was a comedy video aimed against Faruqui.
Taking serious note of Raja Singh's action, the BJP on Tuesday suspended him and served him to show cause why he should not be expelled from the party.
Following the protests, police stepped up security in Hyderabad and in other parts of the state as a precautionary measure. Additional forces were deployed and police intensified patrolling in sensitive areas to prevent any untoward incident.
Traders in various parts of the old city and in Nampally, Mallepally and other areas downed shutters demanding action against the MLA.
The inauguration of a new flyover in Chandrayangutta was also postponed. Municipal administration minister K.T. Rama Rao was scheduled to inaugurate the flyover.

ATLANTA (AP) — Sen. Lindsey Graham is holding up the Constitution’s “speech or debate” clause as a shield as he tries to avoid testifying before a special grand jury that’s investigating whether former President Donald Trump and others tried to illegally influence the 2020 election in Georgia.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis wants to ask the South Carolina Republican about two phone calls she says he made to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and his staff in the weeks after the 2020 general election, as well as the circumstances and logistics surrounding those calls. Raffensperger said at the time that Graham asked him whether he had the power to reject certain absentee ballots, a question he interpreted as a suggestion to toss out legally cast votes.
Graham’s attorneys have argued that the calls were made as part of his legislative duties and that the speech or debate clause gives him absolute protection from having to testify.
The legal back-and-forth has already delayed Graham’s testimony, which had been been set for Tuesday.
WHAT EXACTLY IS THE SPEECH OR DEBATE CLAUSE?
Under Article I of the Constitution, “for any Speech or Debate in either House,” senators and U.S. House members “shall not be questioned in any other place.” Simply, the provision — “approved at the Constitutional Convention without discussion and without opposition,” the U.S. Supreme Court wrote in a 1966 decision — is intended to protect members of Congress from questioning about official legislative acts.
In a 1968 decision concerning a congressman’s conviction under a conflict of interest statute, the Supreme Court wrote that the provision’s intent was “to prevent legislative intimidation by and accountability to the other branches of government.”
WHAT DOES IT PROTECT?
The argument over whether Graham is protected by the clause in this case “is fundamentally about what kinds of acts are legislative versus what kinds of acts are not,” said Anthony Michael Kreis, a constitutional law professor at Georgia State University.
Actions like speaking on the floor of the House or Senate, introducing legislation, working on a committee report and acts of legislative fact finding are all clearly covered, he said. News interviews, publications unrelated to official duties, political activities and engaging with the executive branch are not covered, he said.
WHAT ARE GRAHAM’S ARGUMENTS?
Graham has argued that the calls to Raffensperger involved his duties as a U.S. senator and chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, so he should have absolute protection from having to testify in this case. In court earlier this month, Graham attorney Brian Lea argued that the senator’s responsibility to decide whether to vote to certify Georgia’s election results, coupled with his shepherding of election-related legislation, made the calls part of his legislative duties.
WHAT HAS WILLIS’ TEAM ARGUED?
Prosecutors have argued that the calls are just their starting point. They have also disputed the notion that the phone calls were solely about legislative issues, saying that Graham was seeking to make changes to the way Georgia handled absentee ballots ahead of January 2021 runoff elections for U.S. Senate.
WHAT DID THE JUDGE OVERSEEING GRAHAM’S CASE SAY?
Graham asked U.S. District Judge Leigh Martin May to quash his subpoena and rule that he didn’t have to testify before the special grand jury. Last week, she declined to do that, meaning Graham was still set to appear on Tuesday.
May noted that the clause doesn’t protect actions that are political rather than legislative. Even if she accepted that the calls were “comprised entirely of legislative factfinding,” and thus protected, “there would still be significant areas of potential testimony related to the grand jury’s investigation on which Senator Graham could be questioned that would in no way fall within the Clause’s protections,” she wrote.
SO WHAT’S HAPPENING NOW?
Graham appealed to the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. A three-judge panel of the appeals court on Sunday issued an order temporarily putting on hold May’s order rejecting Graham’s request to quash the subpoena. That also put his Tuesday appearance before the special grand jury temporarily on hold.
The appeals court sent the case back to May, instructing her to determine whether Graham “is entitled to a partial quashal or modification of the subpoena” based on the Constitution’s speech or debate clause.
May on Monday ordered the two sides to file briefs, with the final deadline at the middle of next week. She specifically asked them to “address whether, and to what extent, certain alleged conduct (including specific lines of inquiry on telephone calls) is shielded from questioning” by the clause.
And she asked them to discuss whether “informal investigative inquiries” by members of Congress are protected by the clause or whether it applies only to “investigative inquiries that originate from a more formal congressional source, such as an investigation authorized by a Senate subcommittee.”
THEN WHAT?
It’s hard to say. If she finds that Graham is not entitled to any protection from the speech or debate clause for this matter, she could rule that any questions that Willis’ team wants to ask are fair game, professor Kreis said. But if she finds that certain lines of questioning would infringe on his privilege under the clause, she could set “narrow guideposts,” he said.
Once May has ruled on this limited issue, the case will head back to the 11th Circuit for further consideration.
HAVE ANY OTHER POTENTIAL WITNESSES MADE SIMILAR ARGUMENTS?
Yes. U.S. Rep. Jody Hice, a Georgia Republican and Trump ally, also filed a motion in federal court seeking to quash his subpoena. His case was also heard by Judge May. During a hearing, Hice’s lawyers agreed that there were some questions he could be asked before the special grand jury that wouldn’t be protected by any immunity.
May sent the case back to Fulton County Superior Court. She said at the time that if disagreements were to arise over whether specific questions infringed on Hice’s federal immunities, he could bring the federal issues back to her to settle. It wasn’t immediately clear where that stands.

An uncle whose 16-year-old Niagara Falls niece was killed in a shooting last week in Buffalo wants to know why one of the two teenagers charged in her death is eligible to be released from jail by posting bail.
“I think it’s ridiculous and I think it’s unacceptable and, frankly, I feel it’s disrespectful,” said Johnny Religa, a maternal uncle of Emily Keiper, the victim in the crime.
Just after midnight on Friday, Keiper was the passenger in a vehicle when she was shot on Elmer Avenue, which runs between Kensington Avenue and East Amherst Street. She was taken to Erie County Medical Center where she was pronounced dead.
A 14-year-old boy and a 17-year-old were arrested and arraigned on charges of second-degree murder and first-degree robbery in the killing.
Erie County District Attorney John J. Flynn said that the shooting stemmed from a marijuana transaction that went bad.
People are also reading…
The 17-year-old was ordered held in custody by Family Court Judge Brenda M. Freedman. She set bail at $50,000 for the 14-year-old during a Monday bail hearing.
Religa on Monday told The Buffalo News that his family, already shattered and in shock over the homicide, felt further traumatized to learn that the 14-year-old reportedly involved in the shooting was made eligible to be released on $50,000 bail.
“I mean, we lost Emily, and for this juvenile to be walking around the street, it’s just gut-wrenching,” he added.
“The district attorney was pretty discouraged about it, as well,” Religa said after viewing clips from Monday’s news conference on television.
Support Local Journalism
At the news conference, Flynn criticized the judge's decision to allow bail for the 14-year-old suspect.
"Unfortunately, I am sad to say ... the 14-year-old was given $50,000 bail, obviously against our wishes," Flynn said. "We asked for a remand on both."
Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia said at the news conference that he was thrown for a loop that bail was offered to the 14-year-old suspect.
"Too many juveniles have been involved in violent crime, and here we are with another 14-year-old that has the potential to be released back out on to the streets. This just perpetuates the cycle of violence," Gramaglia said.
Religa described his niece as “a really special girl with a really big heart” who was very close to her family, which includes her parents, Kory and Michelle, as well as her siblings, 18-year-old Paige; another sister, Kylie, 12; and 8-year-old brother, Kory.
Emily, who just turned 16, recently received her learner’s permit and was learning to drive, Religa said, noting that she worked two part-time jobs, including one at Wegmans.
“She was saving up money to buy a car,” he added.
Religa said his family has been buoyed by the outpouring of support and sympathy from friends and the broader community. A GoFundMe page (gofundme.com/f/emily-keiper) was set up to help defray the cost of funeral expenses incurred by the family. It had raised more than $11,000 by Tuesday morning.
A viewing is from 4 to 7 p.m. Wednesday in M. J. Colucci & Son Niagara Funeral Chapel, 2730 Military Road, Niagara Falls.
“We’re just looking for justice for Emily, and for these two kids to be prosecuted and to never be able to do this to another family again. They need to suffer the consequences for this horrible, unimaginable act that they did,” Religa said. | https://buffalonews.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/uncle-of-girl-killed-in-buffalo-shooting-questions-bail-for-14-year-old-suspect/article_993fe692-22e7-11ed-a0c0-6b5afac1cfcf.html | 2022-08-23T15:08:57Z | https://buffalonews.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/uncle-of-girl-killed-in-buffalo-shooting-questions-bail-for-14-year-old-suspect/article_993fe692-22e7-11ed-a0c0-6b5afac1cfcf.html | false | 1 |
Pep Guardiola Issues Nathan Ake Injury Update Ahead Of Barcelona Friendly
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola comments on Nathan Ake's injury sustained in Sunday's fixture against Newcastle United.
Manchester City have now played their opening three games of the 2022/23 Premier League campaign, picking up seven points out of a possible nine. They beat West Ham away on opening day, through an Erling Haaland Brace, put four past Bournemouth at home, and drew to Newcastle on Sunday in a 3-3 thriller.
The Sky Blues started against Newcastle in perfect fashion, after Ilkay Gundogan's intelligent run in the box was sought out by Bernardo Silva, which the German dispatched off.
However, an Allan Saint-Maximin-inspired Newcastle side responded, with goals from Miguel Almiron, Callum Wilson, and a sublime free-kick from Kieran Trippier.
The Citizens showed their quality and fighting spirit to draw level. Erling Haaland got one back through his great positioning before a mesmerizing Kevin De-Bruyne pass put Bernardo Silva in one and one to score past Nick Pope.
Despite an extremely entertaining game, Manchester City take a few negatives away from the fixture. Coinciding with the obvious fact they didn't win, Dutch Defender Nathan Ake was forced off injured during the first half, being replaced by Ruben Dias.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola commented on the injury following the game, of which he was short and to the point, saying "I think it’s his groin". Following his answer, he was asked if Ake would feature on Wednesday in their Friendly against Barcelona. Of which he responded, "Absolutely not."

Guardiola recently added Sergio Gomez to City's ranks from Belgium side Anderlecht, who will help for defensive cover going forward should Ake be side-lined for a while, as the Dutch defender has been rotated to Left-back on occasion.
Despite this, only John Stones and Ruben Dias are the recognized first-team center-backs who are currently fit. Giving Guardiola a slight dilemma ahead of this weekend's Crystal Palace fixture.
This could suggest that young defender Luke Mbete will receive game time against Barcelona on Wednesday out of precaution, in case he is needed going forward. A matter of which is looking increasingly likely. | https://www.si.com/soccer/manchestercity/news/pep-guardiola-issues-nathan-ake-injury-update-ahead-of-barcelona-friendly | 2022-08-23T15:11:38Z | https://www.si.com/soccer/manchestercity/news/pep-guardiola-issues-nathan-ake-injury-update-ahead-of-barcelona-friendly | false | 2 |
Nothing is off limits for comedian Felipe Esparza, including going hard after the date fruit. He took a jab at the popular, oval-shaped fruit of the desert during a previous performance in Riverside County and got quite the response from the locals.
“I got a lot of boos because I was making a lot of jokes about the Date Festival,” Esparza said during a recent phone interview. He’s preparing to return to the desert to headline Spotlight 29 Casino in Coachella on Sept. 3.
“Forget what you saw on Netflix or HBO,” he added. “It will be all-new material and part of a new act I’m working on.”
The 46-year-old comic got his big break in 2010 after winning NBC’s reality competition “Last Comic Standing.” Since then, he’s started his own podcast, “What’s Up Fool,” and has released comedy specials on Showtime, Netflix and HBO. His latest Netflix special featured an English and Spanish version, which was exciting to Esparza, an immigrant from Mexico who grew up in Boyle Heights.
He’s also starred in several television shows and a few films with some of his comedy idols such as Rob Schneider, Paul Rodriguez and Eddie Murphy. Following his success on “Last Comic Standing” a dozen years ago, he said he’s dedicated his spare time to acting classes.
“A lot of comedians like to sit there and smoke weed, and I do too, man,” he joked. “But, I always tell them if you have $60 to spend on weed every week, you have $60 to spend on acting classes.”
Before heading to Coachella, Esparza talked with the Southern California News Group about acting, the state of comedy and finding inspiration for jokes. He’ll return to Southern California later this year with shows scheduled at Humphrey’s by the Bay in San Diego on Nov. 4, Irvine Improv Nov. 10-13 and Ontario Improv Nov. 23-27. The following conversation was edited for space and clarity.
Q: You were born in Sinaloa, Mexico. What are some of your memories from living there?
Esparza: I remember eating this fruit they don’t have in America called guamúchil, which tastes like gum. It’s delicious. I remember that it was so dusty that a water truck would come by at night and wet the streets. When we would go to the movie theater, I remember there was no ceiling. The whole movie theater was made out of cement, even the seating.
Q: What was it like coming to America? Did it meet your expectations?
Esparza: I was little when I came, but I remember noticing that the movie theaters here had a roof. I thought they were very elegant and nice. We used to go see Cantinflas at the Million Dollar Theater.
Q: When did you first notice that you were funny and could make it a career?
Esparza: In second grade! No, I’m just kidding. I think it was after high school I realized I could do this. I just didn’t know how and know where to start. We used to listen to Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, Paul Rodriguez and I would memorize everything they said.
Q: You mentioned some comedians that influenced you. Were there any others?
Esparza: Paul Rodriguez, Eddie Murphy and George Carlin were all people I listened to growing up. Now I get to work with Paul Rodriguez.
Q: What’s that like?
Esparza: It’s awesome, man. Paul Rodriguez even bought me a suit. I worked with Eddie Murphy on a Netflix movie coming out in the future that Jonah Hill helped write and produce. I have a small part, but Eddie Murphy told me I was funny in front of everyone.
Q: What did you say?
Esparza: I was like, “whaaaaattttt?” I couldn’t believe it, dude. He didn’t even say “Hi” to anyone when he got on set, and he just looked around and told me, “You’re a funny mother [expletive].” Everyone stood quiet, even me.
Q: How do you like doing television and movies?
Esparza: To do stand-up comedy, you have to have an audience for that instant gratification. With acting, nobody laughs after a funny line, which is hard to get used to as opposed to when you do a funny line in front of a bunch of people. But acting is hard. It takes a lot of commitment.
Q: Where do you find the inspiration for your jokes?
Esparza: Mostly from real life. For example, one time, the police pulled us over while we were in the car with my cousin, and he didn’t know how to speak English well, so to us, he was illegal. When the police asked us if we had anything illegal, we all looked at my cousin and laughed. When I tell the joke now, I say it was me that got pulled over and when the cop asks the question, I say “my cousin” and that I ran. I take what happened in real life and try to apply it to my jokes.
Q: How do you feel about the state of comedy today?
Esparza: Comedy has evolved so much that someone could make money without ever going on stage. That’s the amazing part about it. A lot of people want to do stand-up comedy but don’t know how. Other people who are younger than me are doing it really well on Instagram or TikTok and make these very funny, short sketches. Comedy is supposed to grab your attention and set up the punchline, and these young people have found a way to do it in less than 10 seconds. Some of these people who do comedy on TikTok perform at the same comedy clubs I’ve performed at. I think it’s a great time for comedy right now.
Q: How did you come up with the idea for your podcast and did you ever think you’d have your own show?
Esparza: I was a guest on a lot of podcasts before I started and learned a lot from them. I found out that if you’re really open about your life and you’re honest, people gravitate towards you. There are people out there who are funnier than me, that’s true, but there’s nobody out there who is better at being me than me. So I decided I could do my own podcast.
Q: What are you most proud of in your career?
Esparza: Winning “Last Comic Standing.” It changed my life.

DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) — Schools in Bangladesh will close an additional day each week and government offices and banks will shorten their work days by an hour to reduce electricity usage amid concerns over rising fuel prices and the impact of the Ukraine war.
The reduced hours take effect Wednesday. In Bangladesh, most schools are closed on Fridays, but now will also close on Saturdays, Cabinet Secretary Khandker Anwarul Islam said Monday.
He said government offices and banks will cut their work days to seven hours from the previous eight hours, but that private offices will be allowed to set their own schedules.
Supply disruptions caused by the Ukraine war have led to soaring world prices for energy and food.
Bangladesh has been taking measures in recent weeks to ease pressure on its declining foreign currency reserves. Last month, fuel prices were raised by more than 50%. The government says it is exploring options to get cheaper fuel from Russia under a special arrangement.
The decision has drawn criticism, but the government said it is necessary to cut losses amid rising international fuel prices. Small street protests against the higher prices have taken place in recent weeks, and the government said domestic prices will be adjusted after international prices ease.
The country has been suffering more frequent power cuts after the government suspended operations of all diesel-run power plants, reducing daily electricity production by 1,000 megawatts.
But authorities have promised to continue supplying power to industrial zones to help support the country’s $416 billion economy, which has been growing rapidly over the last decade.
The country’s opposition has accused the government of failing to control corruption and eliminate losses in the energy sector.
In July, Bangladesh sought an unspecified loan from the International Monetary Fund, becoming the third country in South Asia to do so recently after Sri Lanka and Pakistan.
Rahul Anand, division chief in the IMF’s Asia and Pacific Department, said in a recent consultation that Bangladesh was not in a crisis situation and its external position was “very different from several countries in the region.”
“Bangladesh has a low risk of debt distress and is very different from Sri Lanka,” he was quoted as saying by the Dhaka-based The Business Standard Daily.
Bangladesh’s foreign currency reserves have dwindled to around $40 billion. | https://www.myplainview.com/business/article/Bangladesh-cuts-school-office-hours-to-save-17391560.php | 2022-08-23T15:12:18Z | https://www.myplainview.com/business/article/Bangladesh-cuts-school-office-hours-to-save-17391560.php | false | 32 |
S.D. Gov. Kristi Noem accused of "misconduct" by ethics board
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem may have "engaged in misconduct" when she got involved in her daughter's application for a real estate appraiser license in 2020, a South Dakota ethics board said Monday, AP reports.
Why it matters: The board's comments come amid an ongoing investigation into Noem, a potential 2024 presidential candidate who has been accused of abusing her power in office. She has denied any wrongdoing.
Catch up quick: Accusations against Noem began after she held a meeting with an employee of the state's appraiser certification program back in 2020, Axios' Jacob Knutson reports.
- Noem's daughter's application for a certified real estate appraiser license was denied days before the meeting, per AP.
- Not long after the meeting, Noem's daughter received her certificate.
- South Dakota's labor secretary, who was at the meeting, later called for the employee to retire.
Driving the news: The Government Accountability Board said that there should be "appropriate action" taken against Noem for her role in helping her daughter receive the license, AP reports.
- She was also accused of "misconduct," “conflicts of interest” and “malfeasance,"
- The board of three retired judges did not specify what actions should be taken.
- The GAB did not immediately respond to Axios' request for comment.
What's next: The board said it would begin the process of allowing Noem to defend herself, per AP.
- No date or specific details were given about when that will happen.
Yes, but: The board said it would refer a complaint about Noem using the state plane for campaign and personal reasons back to the attorney general's office, per Dakota News Now.
- Former Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg originally made the complaints against Noem.
The big picture: Noem is seeing re-election in the 2022 midterms. She has been seen as a potential 2024 presidential candidate after drawing support from former President Donald Trump and for her criticisms of the Biden administration.

Superior Sensor Technology First to Offer Integrated Pressure Switch Feature for Pressure Sensors
New NimbleSense™ Feature Provides More Design Flexibility and Faster Switching Performance
LOS GATOS, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, August 23, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Superior Sensor Technology is now offering an integrated pressure switch feature with three threshold pressure modes as part of its NimbleSense™ architecture, a system-in-a-sensor, application-specific pressure sensor platform for HVAC, medical and industrial products. Customers have an option to integrate the switching feature into Superior Sensor Technology’s pressure sensors, eliminating the cost of an external switch, and improving performance with faster response times. The new pressure switch capability also maximizes design flexibility, reduces PCB board space, lowers power consumption, and minimizes product design complexity and manufacturing costs.
A pressure switch provides a failsafe response when a certain pressure threshold is met. As such, pressure switches often serve as a safety feature and are a critical component of many medical devices, HVAC systems and industrial products. The switch acts as an on/off mechanism that is triggered when a certain air pressure value is reached. For example, when measuring air pressure through an air filter, if the pressure value goes above a specified level, such as 2 inH2O, the switch can notify the maintenance crew to clean or replace the filter. A safety medical example can be seen with ventilators, where pressure switches are in place and activated if too much pressure is being applied to the patients.
Differing from other external pressure switches, Superior Sensor Technology has designed its integrated switch with three modes for setting threshold pressure, providing customers full implementation flexibility. Modes include a Fixed Mode set by Superior Sensor Technology specific to the manufacturer’s application, a Variable Mode 1 that the manufacturer sets during product production, and a Variable Mode 2 that is field programmable using software, enabling the switch to be adjusted based on the application at that time.
“Our objective is to offer customers the highest level of integration in the industry to exponentially improve their product manufacturing cost/performance and provide more design flexibility,” said Tim Shotter, co-founder and Chief Technology Officer, Superior Sensor Technology. “Offering an integrated pressure switch feature for NimbleSense proves our continued commitment to offering the highest level of integration and performance in the industry.”
Unique to the industry, the NimbleSense architecture simplifies product design with an integrated building block approach, enabling customers to purchase pressure sensors with features specific to their product application requirements. With the addition of the pressure switch, Superior Sensor Technology is now offering seven features for the NimbleSense architecture. Other features include Multi-Range™, Z-Track™, Closed Loop Control, Advanced Digital Filtering, 50/60 Notch Filter and Self Aware™.
The pressure switch feature is available now for the following Superior Sensor Technology products; the CP Series for PAP applications, HV Series for HVAC applications and ND Series for industrial applications.
Superior Sensor Technology is revolutionizing the high performance, cost driven pressure sensor market by developing integrative, highly intelligent solutions for industrial, HVAC and medical applications. The company’s technology is based on a breakthrough system-in-a-sensor, proprietary architecture, called NimbleSense™, which significantly improves overall sensor performance while adding exclusive application specific system features. Superior Sensor Technology was founded in 2016 and is based in Los Gatos, CA.

GLEN ROSE, Texas -- Dinosaur tracks from around 113 million years ago have been revealed at Dinosaur Valley State Park in Texas due to severe drought conditions that dried up a river, the park said Monday in a statement.
"Most tracks that have recently been uncovered and discovered at different parts of the river in the park belong to Acrocanthosaurus. This was a dinosaur that would stand, as an adult, about 15 feet tall and (weigh) close to seven tons," park spokesperson Stephanie Salinas Garcia told CNN in an email.
The other species that left tracks behind at the park in Glen Rose, Texas, was Sauroposeidon, which would be about 60 feet tall and weigh about 44 tons as an adult, Garcia added.
This summer's excessive drought has caused a river in the park to dry out completely in most spots, revealing the tracks -- the latest long-hidden secret recently exposed as bodies of water have dried up due to drought conditions across the globe.
More than 60% of Texas was experiencing drought last week in two of the most intense categories, according to the US Drought Monitor. The state also recently has experienced heat waves that pushed temperatures into the triple digits, leaving millions under excessive heat alerts.
The human-caused climate crisis, too, has increased the potential for more frequent dramatic swings in periods of drought and high precipitation, such as flash flooding this week in the Dallas area.

Under normal weather conditions, the dinosaur tracks found in the riverbed are under the water and filled with sediment, which makes them less visible, Garcia explained.
"Being able to find these discoveries and experience new dinosaur tracks is always an exciting time at the park!" Garcia added.
Meanwhile, the tracks are expected to be buried again as rain is forecast, said Garcia, who added the process helps protect the tracks from natural weathering and erosion.
"While these newer dinosaur tracks were visible for a brief amount of time, it brought about the wonder and excitement about finding new dinosaur tracks at the park," Garcia said. "Dinosaur Valley State Park will continue to protect these 113-million year-old tracks not only for present, but future generations."

The tracks are just the latest discovery uncovered by falling water levels due to drought, both in the US and abroad: Five sets of human remains have been discovered at Lake Mead in Utah in recent months as the reservoir has dropped to about 27% of its full capacity.
In Eastern Serbia, dozens of German warships still laden with explosives were exposed in the drying Danube River. A prehistoric stone circle dubbed the Spanish Stonehenge was revealed in the diminishing Valdecanas reservoir in rural Spain. And Buddhist statues believed to be 600 years old were found in the depleted Yangtze River.

BUFFALO BILLS (12-7)
New faces: DE Von Miller, QB Case Keenum, DT Jordan Phillips, DT Tim Settle, TE O.J. Howard, WR Jamison Crowder, DE Shaq Lawson, DT DaQuan Jones, RB Duke Johnson, OL Rodger Saffold, OL David Quessenberry, offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey, CB Kaiir Elam, RB James Cook, P Matt Araiza.
Key losses: Offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, WR Cole Beasley, WR Emmanuel Sanders, QB Mitchell Trubisky, OL Jon Feliciano, DE Jerry Hughes, DE Mario Addison, DT Star Lotulelei, DT Harrison Phillips, DT Darryl Johnson, CB Levi Wallace, LB A.J. Klein, RB Matt Breida, OL Cody Ford.
Strengths: A Josh Allen-led offense returns mostly intact with the only question mark hovering over Dorsey taking over as a first-time NFL coordinator. Dorsey is at least familiar with the Bills offense in serving as the team’s quarterbacks coach before being promoted to replace Daboll, who was hired to coach the New York Giants this offseason. Despite not re-signing Beasley and Sanders, the Bills have an established group of receivers with Gabe Davis and Isaiah McKenzie ready to step up as starters behind Stefon Diggs. Buffalo’s running attack, which was inconsistent last season, should be improved with Aaron Kromer taking over as offensive line coach and Buffalo using a second-round pick to select Cook, the younger brother of Vikings star RB Dalvin Cook.
Weaknesses: The secondary faces questions with starting CB Tre’Davious White’s season-opening status uncertain and with Wallace leaving in free agency. White has yet to practice while recovering from a major left knee injury he sustained in late November. As it stands, Elam, a first-round draft pick, and third-year CB Dane Jackson are the projected starters.
Camp Development: The Bills’ rebuilt defensive line looked stout with the addition of Miller, and with DE Greg Rousseau showing signs of development following a promising rookie season. Buffalo retooled its line in part to address a middling pass rush.
Fantasy Player To Watch: McKenzie has an opportunity to become a key fixture in a pass-happy offense in being given the chance to take over the slot receiver role. He’s faster and shiftier than Beasley, and already has an established rapport with Allen in his previous role as a backup and gadget player.
FanDuel Says: Win Super Bowl: 6-1. Over/under wins: 11 1/2.
Expectations: There is nothing suggesting the Bills will take a step back. If anything, this team has more overall depth from last year, while also driven to overcome how it closed last season with an infamously dubbed “13 seconds” meltdown. Buffalo squandered a three-point lead in the final 13 seconds of an eventual 42-36 overtime loss to Kansas City in an AFC divisional round playoff. With Miller, they’ve upgraded their pass rush, and have placed an emphasis on having a more effective running attack. The AFC as a whole might be stacked with plenty of contenders, but it would be regarded as a major disappointment if the Bills fail to reach the conference championship game.

(The Hill) — Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine was 73.2 percent effective against the disease in children under 5, the company said Tuesday.
The company touted the data as reinforcing the importance of the vaccine, which was authorized in June, after months of waiting for a vaccine for the youngest children.
The effectiveness is after three shots of the vaccine. The Pfizer vaccine’s authorization was delayed earlier this year to allow time to study a third shot, with the idea that two shots were not enough.
The results, based on 34 cases, came when the strain of the virus circulating was primarily the omicron subvariant BA.2, slightly different than the BA.5 omicron subvariant that is largely circulating now.
Pfizer said Tuesday that it is working on a vaccine for children under 12 specifically targeting BA.5, matching its approach for adults 12 and over.
“Building on the strong safety and immunogenicity data that led to FDA authorization of our COVID-19 vaccine for children 6 months through 4 years, we are pleased to share confirmatory evidence that a full course of vaccination helps protect against symptomatic disease, particularly during a time when the Omicron BA.2 strain was predominant,” said Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla.
Getting parents to vaccinate their young children is an ongoing challenge. Only about five percent of children under 5 have been vaccinated so far, ABC News reported last week. | https://www.wboy.com/news/national/pfizer-covid-19-vaccine-73-percent-effective-in-children-under-5/ | 2022-08-23T15:23:38Z | https://www.wboy.com/news/national/pfizer-covid-19-vaccine-73-percent-effective-in-children-under-5/ | true | 22 |
The Biden administration is leaning toward canceling up to $10,000 in student loan debt for those who make less than $125,000 a year, according to a new report.
CNN reported that the announcement could come Wednesday, and that additional forgiveness for specific parts of the population are on the table as well.
Liberal Democrats such as Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts have pressed for a far more sweeping loan forgiveness program. The income cap was seen as a way of insulating the White House from criticism that the debt relief is benefiting those who can afford their payments, per CNN.
Sources told the network that the White House will also weigh in on the Aug. 31 expiration of the moratorium on student loan payments.
Last month, the Education Department told loan service providers not to contact borrowers about resuming payments, according to reports.
Student loan payments have been paused for 43 million federal borrowers since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020.
The moratorium has been extended six times under both the Trump and Biden administrations, even though deficit hawks have criticized the cost of the possible loan forgiveness plan to the federal budget. | https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/aug/23/white-house-poised-cancel-10k-debt-some-student-lo/?utm_source=RSS_Feed&utm_medium=RSS | 2022-08-23T15:25:32Z | https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/aug/23/white-house-poised-cancel-10k-debt-some-student-lo/?utm_source=RSS_Feed&utm_medium=RSS | false | 1 |

Viewpoint: The year of labor — knowing your worth
We all know trade doesn’t work without people, from the worker who makes the products to those who move the coveted cargo. In recent months, we have seen the men and women responsible for the transport of goods mobilize and push back on wage offers. They realize their worth and their pivotal role in the world of capitalism. The flow of trade is, unfortunately, choking in this tug of the purse strings between employers and labor.

Revlon’s meme stock past is making it hard for it to go bankrupt as minority shareholders fight for a payout
When American cosmetic brand Revlon filed for bankruptcy in late June, citing the global supply-chain crunch and its mounting debt problems, its shares were worth a measly $1.
At the time of the filing, Revlon minority investors the Mittleman brothers argued that the company’s equity still had substantial value and that Revlon has a “liquidity problem, not a solvency problem.”
As Revlon became the 11th most shorted stock on the market, the interest of Reddit meme stock traders piqued.
Two weeks after the company filed for Chapter 11 insolvency, Revlon’s shares surged to nearly $10 as individual investors pushed the share price of the company up 317% over a three-day span.
Now as a hearing in a New York bankruptcy court approaches on Wednesday, minority shareholders of the company, led by the Mittleman brothers, want a say in how the bankruptcy proceedings will proceed—filing a court request for the minority investors to have an “official equity committee” represent them in court to argue Revlon’s underlying value.
But Revlon hit back on Sunday asking the bankruptcy judge to deny this request, saying it don’t need a special, company-funded committee to represent itl; because there is no evidence the equity is worth anything.
Investors of Revlon are trying to create a repeat of the Hertz insolvency case, which saw shareholders walk away with $1 billion after the company filed for bankruptcy.
But can they pull off the magic again?
Court filings
Revlon filed a brief in Manhattan federal court on Sunday asking U.S. bankruptcy judge David Jones to deny the request from minority shareholders to appoint an equity committee. The company argued its $3.5 billion debt load, which debtors are “entitled to recover in full before equity,” means shareholders will receive nothing from the company’s bankruptcy.
The minority shareholders wrote in an August court filing that the increase in the share price of Revlon after the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy displays its long-term value and indicates the brand is more than just a meme stock fueled by Reddit buzz, but rather “an iconic, 90-year old American brand that is simply facing short-term liquidity issues as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.”
In the court filing, the minority shareholder group cited the infamous Hertz bankruptcy case, where the insolvent car rental company filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy, only to reorganize and pay out its legacy shareholders $1 billion as its underlying business recovered.
Revlon shareholders believe if a shareholding committee is appointed, a similar outcome can be achieved.
Revlon, on the other hand, has pushed back on the request, arguing that an official equity committee would not increase shareholders’ ultimate recovery and that the “undoubtedly significant costs of an official equity committee greatly outweigh any speculative benefit.”
It also argued that in the case of Hertz an official equity committee was not appointed.
Official equity committees are rarely approved in bankruptcy cases and shareholders are usually wiped in the reorganization.
Debt troubles and Reddit interest
Revlon argues that its rising stock price does not at all indicate the company’s value.
In the Sunday court filing, Revlon argues shareholders cannot be paid until all other debts are satisfied.
The company’s most junior debt—$430 million of unsecured bonds—is trading as low as 10 cents on the dollar, despite the stock price rallying, implying that equity has little hope of recouping anything in bankruptcy.
The committee representing unsecured creditors also asked the bankruptcy judge Jones to reject a shareholder committee, noting the stock price fluctuations were “untethered from market realities.”
“Revlon stock trading has all the outward appearances of a so-called ‘meme’ stock,” the committee said in its objection.
While bankruptcy law has shrouded legal proceedings, this hasn’t stopped foolhardy and headstrong retail traders from buying up shares.
Revlon shares tumbled by as much as 34% on Monday before rebounding to $8.22; the share price is up 3.41% in pre-market trading as of 8:15 a.m. ET on Tuesday.

The Little League World Series and its broadcast partner, ESPN, are facing accusations of racial insensitivity after a group of white teammates was shown on camera Sunday sticking pieces of cotton to a Black teammate’s hair.
ESPN cameras caught the moment on film while broadcasting the MLB Little League Classic between the Boston Red Sox and Baltimore Orioles.
“That’s just Little Leaguers being Little Leaguers right there,” one of the commentators said.
A video from the broadcast started making the rounds on social media Sunday night. People questioned why the boys’ activities were shown on national television and whether the Black player was OK.
How did the Little League World Series respond to the video?
In a statement released Monday, tournament leaders said they talked to the team involved, which is from Davenport, Iowa, and represents the Midwest region, and felt confident that the Black player was not being singled out for mistreatment due to his race.
“We have spoken with the player’s mother and the coaches, who have assured us that there was no ill-intent behind the action shown during the broadcast,” the statement from the Little League World Series said.
Although it wasn’t shown on camera, multiple players had the cotton from inside the free stuffed animals that were handed out at the game stuck to their head, according to the statement.
“After speaking with the team, as well as reviewing photos, multiple players on the Midwest Region team were taking part in this while enjoying the game, As only one player appeared on the broadcast, Little League International understands that the actions shown could be perceived as racially insensitive,” it said.
Did the Little League World Series struggle with racial discrimination in the past?
The Little League World Series has prohibited racial discrimination since its founding 75 years ago, but it has faced several race-related challenges over the years, just like other sports leagues, as Chris Lamb, chairman of the partner of journalism and public relations at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, noted in a recent article for Andscape.
“In 1955, Little League Baseball found itself in a civil war when white teams in South Carolina, Florida, and Texas refused to take the field against Black teams” in order to protest the Supreme Court’s recent decision mandating an end to school segregation, Lamb wrote.
The article highlighted the efforts of sports editor Sam Lacy, who attend the Little League World Series in the 1950s in order to show that the young white players were happy to play against Black teams; it was their parents who caused the problem.
“If things were left to children, Lacy said, there would be no color line,” Lamb wrote. | https://www.deseret.com/sports/2022/8/23/23318081/little-league-world-series-racism-accusations | 2022-08-23T15:51:02Z | https://www.deseret.com/sports/2022/8/23/23318081/little-league-world-series-racism-accusations | true | 1 |

Here's why Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez held their second wedding in Georgia; Source REVEALS
An insider reveals why Bennifer chose Ben Affleck's Georgia estate as the perfect location for their second wedding.
Over the past weekend, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez tied the knot for the second time in Georgia after a month of getting legally hitched in an intimate ceremony in Las Vegas. The couple invited their closest family members and friends including many A-list celebrities like Affleck's childhood friend and Good Will Hunting co-star Matt Damon, Jimmy Kimmel and more.
According to a report by People, a source suggests that the couple decided to hold their wedding at Affleck's lavish Georgia estate for a very personal reason. Affleck's 87-acre compound on Hampton Island Preserve was the location where Bennifer said their "I Do's" for the second time in front of 135 guests. An insider told the outlet that the couple has a history with the southern estate, "Ben bought the property 20 years ago when they were engaged first time around."
For those living under a rock, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez first got together in the early 2000s and even got engaged at the time but broke off their relationship in 2004 after they cited that constant media attention and intrusive public interest in their romance had been one of the major reasons behind their fallout. Though the couple found their footing back to each other in 2021 and within a year got married. The source also added, "They have a special connection there, and his 50th birthday was last week so it made sense to do it there and then."
As for their lavish wedding bash, the couple celebrated their bond over a span of three days starting with a rehearsal dinner followed by their 45-minute ceremony and finishing up the week with a BBQ picnic brunch.

US stocks waver in another round of choppy trading
Stocks wavered on Wall Street Thursday in another round of choppy trading that has mostly held back major indexes following a weekslong run of gains.
The S&P 500 rose 0.1% as of 2:46 p.m. Eastern. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 51 points, or 0.2%, to 33,927 and the Nasdaq rose 0.1%.
Technology companies had some of the strongest gains. Cisco Systems rose 5.9% after reporting solid financial results.
Energy stocks made solid gains as U.S. crude oil prices rose 2.7%. Devon Energy rose 5%.
Department store Kohl's fell 7.2% after issuing a disappointing financial forecast.
Smaller company stocks outpaced the broader market, sending the Russell 2000 index 0.4% higher.
Bond yields fell. The yield on the 10-year Treasury, which affects mortgage rates, slipped to 2.88% from 2.90% late Wednesday.
Bed Bath & Beyond fell 22.4% after investor Ryan Cohen proposed selling his entire stake in the struggling retailer.
The choppy trading for stocks follows a four-week winning streak for the benchmark S&P 500. Investors remain concerned about stubbornly hot inflation and its impact on consumers and businesses. Financial results from big retailers and economic updates throughout the week have shown that the economy remains under pressure from inflation, but has several pockets of resiliency.
“The market is looking for direction and it seems people are caught between the idea of slowing economic growth and slowing inflation," said Chris Zaccarelli, chief investment officer at Independent Advisor Alliance.
Slightly fewer Americans filed for unemployment benefits last week, according to the Labor Department, as the labor market continues to stand out as one of the strongest segments of the U.S. economy. The solid update on the employment market follows an encouraging report on Wednesday that showed retail sales remain solid despite the hottest inflation in four decades.
Investors have been closely watching the Federal Reserve for any reaction to shifts in inflation or the economy. The central bank has been raising interest rates in an effort to slow the economy and cool inflation, but Wall Street is concerned it could slam the brakes too hard and veer into a recession instead.
Any sign that inflation is peaking or cooling has given Wall Street hope that the Fed could consider easing up on rate hikes. It raised its benchmark interest rate by three-quarters of a point for a second-straight time during its meeting in July and is expected to raise the rate by a half-percentage point at its upcoming meeting.
The minutes from last month's meeting of Federal Reserve policymakers showed that policymakers expected the economy to expand in the second half of 2022, though many suggested that growth would weaken as higher rates take hold. The Fed intends to continue raising rates enough to slow the economy.
Wall Street continues monitoring potential trade issues between the U.S. and China after the U.S. government said it will hold trade talks with Taiwan in a sign of support for the island democracy that China claims as its own territory, prompting Beijing to warn that it will take action if necessary to "safeguard its sovereignty."

'We Expected A Bit Of Drama But We'll Fight', Vijay Deverakonda Reacts On #BoycottLiger Trend
One after the other, Bollywood films are getting boycotted on Twitter. The recent one to become a victim of this trend is Vijay Deverakonda-Ananya Panday-starrer Liger. Even before its release, people are calling for a boycott of the film because of its association with Karan Johar and Deverakonda's comments about the ongoing Laal Singh Chaddha controversy.
Jump To
When Deverakonda was asked about the same, he said that every film has been a fight for him. Calling himself a fighter, he said, "Kaun rokege dekh lenge".
I support #BoycottLigerMovie yes let me reiterate that I support Boycott of #Liger movie because of the direct and indirect connection of people from the Bollywood like Karan Johar, Salman Khan and Ananya Pandey. Also, because I support #BoycottBollywood (forever and everywhere). pic.twitter.com/gaIGGVGRfg
— BoycottBollywood Supporter 🇮🇳 (@iamrudrabha) August 19, 2022
"I don't know much, and talking about my own experience, and my thoughts...I believe that life has taught me to be a fighter. When I was younger I had to fight for respect and money...later I had to fight for my place in the industry and even to get work. Every film was like a tough fight for me."

Deverakonda has faced many hurdles in the past. When he couldn't find producers for his first film, he did it for free. He says he is a fighter and not afraid of the hurdles anymore.
Anybody trying to grow in their field
— Vijay Deverakonda (@TheDeverakonda) August 19, 2022
Will Always have a Target on their back - But we fightback :)
And when you are honest, yourself and want the best for everyone - The love of people and God will protect you ❤️🥰https://t.co/sWjn9ewDpr
"When I was doing my first film, we couldn't find a producer to bankroll it, so I did the film for free, we had to raise money to cover production expenses. At that point, I was nobody in the industry. When my third film 'Arjun Reddy' was about to be out, we faced protest before it even hit the theatres. But it turned out to be a hit at the box office and now people know me because of my work in the film. Even after that, another film of mine leaked online before it hit the theatres but when it did, I got a lot of love," he was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.
Talking about Liger and the boycott calls against the film, he said the team was expecting some drama.
"With Liger we expected a bit of drama... but we'll fight. We've put our heart into making this film. And I believe that I am correct. I feel that there is no room for fear, when I had nothing, I didn't fear, and now after having achieved something, I don't think there needs to be any fear even now."
He concluded by saying, "Maa ka aashirwaad hai, Logon ka pyaar hai, Bhagwaan ka haath hai, andar aag hai, Kaun rokenge dekh lenge!"

LONDON (AP) — A 9-year-old girl was killed Monday night in northwestern England when a gunman fired three shots at a man who forced his way into her home as he sought refuge from the attacker, police said.
Olivia Pratt-Korbel died at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool shortly after the shooting, which occurred about 10 p.m., the Merseyside Police department said Tuesday. The girl's mother, Cheryl Korbel, 46, was shot in the wrist as she tried to close her front door on the gunman, who wasn’t known to the family.
“This is a shocking and appalling attack which will reverberate around our communities, and I want to take this opportunity again to appeal to anybody who knows who was responsible for this attack to please come forward and give us those names,’’ Merseyside Chief Constable Serena Kennedy said at a news conference.
“We need to find all who are responsible for this — not just the gunman. We need to find who supplied the weapon and who arranged this terrible incident,” Kennedy said.
Police said the incident began when an armed man fired at two other men on the street outside the Korbel home.
When Cheryl Korbel opened the door to see what was happening, one of the targets forced his way into the home, police said. The gunman gave chase, firing indiscriminately into the home as Korbel tried to bar the door.
The man who entered the home suffered gunshot wounds to his upper body. Friends picked him up and took him to the hospital as Olivia lay dying.

Funeral homes often submit obituaries as a service to the families they are assisting. However, we will be happy to accept obituaries from family members pending proper verification of the death.
“Mac” Patrick passed away peacefully on August 18 at the age of 87. He was married to Mary Leigh for the past 67 years and had three children, Janice (Ted) of Nacogdoches, Texas, David (Janice) of Ponte Vedra, Florida, and Clay (Liz) Frankfort, Kentucky; as well as nine grandchildren, David II, Luke, Christine (Brandon) Giella, Patrick, McCoy, Cooper, Carson, Jackson and Cason.
He was the son of the late “Pat” and Virginia Patrick and was proceeded in death by his brother, Myron; and his grandson, David.
He aspired to be a physician at an early age and worked diligently in school to finish both High School and College in three years each and went on to be the youngest member of his University of Louisville Medical School class.
He completed his surgery internship at Columbus Medical Center, Columbus, Georgia, and then began his general surgery residency at the VA Hospital in Louisville. His residency was interrupted by the draft in 1962 and he spent two years in the U.S. Army in the 101ST Airborne at Ft. Campbell, Kentucky. His two years there provided a solid foundation for an orthopedic residency as well. After he finished his general surgery residency at Charity Hospital in New Orleans, Louisiana, he, and his partner Dallas Hagg opened Capital Surgical Clinic in Frankfort in 1965. He began his practice at the old Kings Daughters Memorial Hospital. His practice included General and Vascular Surgery, as well as Orthopedics.
Mac was a lifetime member of the American Medical Association, Kentucky Medical Society, Franklin County Medical Society and was a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. He served as a board member for the Franklin County Health Department and First Federal Savings in Loan.
He was appointed to the Kentucky Capital Development Corporation (KCDC), a local economic development entity. He engaged in many businesses in and around Franklin County — from restaurants to real estate. He started the Functional Evaluation Center of Central Kentucky, which became a primary disability determination center for workers compensation across the Commonwealth.
He was appointed to the Kentucky Medical Licensure Board in 1992 and served for 12 years. Following retirement from his medical practice he consulted with various insurance companies. He and his wife owned and operated a thoroughbred breeding operation for the past 45 years, having bred and raced many stakes winners over this period.
He enjoyed his work, but nothing pleased him more than spending time with his children and grandchildren. He was an avid hunter and enjoyed hunting in Canada, Mexico, and all over Kentucky.
Visitation will be held from 4-6 p.m. Friday, August 26, at LeCompte Johnson Taylor Funeral Home. A private family service will be held at a later date. He will be cremated, and his cremains will be interred next to his grandson, David II.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, Hospice (Bluegrass Care Navigators) or the Humane Society.
State-Journal.com’s comments forum is for civil, constructive dialogue about news topics in our community, state, nation and world. We emphasize “civil” at a time when Americans, in the words of the current president, need to “turn down the temperature” of political debates. The State Journal will do its part by more carefully policing this forum. Here are some rules that all commenters must agree to follow:
Absolutely no attacks on other commenters, on guest columnists or on authors of letters to the editor. Our print and online opinion pages are sacred marketplaces of ideas where diverse viewpoints are welcome without fear of retribution. You may constructively critique the ideas and opinions of others, but name-calling, stereotyping and similar attacks are strictly prohibited.
Leeway will be given for criticism of elected officials and other public figures, but civility is essential. If you focus your criticism on ideas, opinions and viewpoints, you will be less likely to run afoul of our commenting rules.
Keep comments focused on the article or commentary in question. Don’t use an article about the Frankfort City Commission, for example, to rant about national politics.
Hyperpartisanship that suggests anyone on the other side of an issue or anyone in a particular particular party is evil is not welcome. If you believe that all Democrats are socialists intent on destroying America or that all Republicans are racists, there are lots of places on the internet for you to espouse those views. State-Journal.com is not one.
No sophomoric banter. This isn’t a third-grade classroom but rather a place for serious consumers of news to offer their reactions and opinions on news stories and published commentary.
No consumer complaints about individual businesses. If you’ve had a bad experience with a private business or organization, contact the Better Business Bureau or the government agency that regulates that business. If you believe the actions of a private business are newsworthy, contact us at news@state-journal.com and we will consider whether news coverage is merited.
Absolutely no jokes or comments about a person’s physical appearance.
No promotion of commercial goods or services. Our outstanding staff of marketing consultants stands ready to help businesses with effective advertising solutions.
If you state facts that have not been previously reported by The State Journal, be sure to include the source of your information.
No attacks on State Journal staff members or contributing writers. We welcome questions about, and criticism of, our news stories and commentary but not of the writers who work tirelessly to keep their community informed. Corrections of inaccurate information in news stories should be sent to news@state-journal.com rather than posted in the comments section. | https://www.state-journal.com/obituaries/dr-olney-mac-mccoy-patrick/article_d1bbe412-22f6-11ed-802c-43f211714424.html | 2022-08-23T16:12:36Z | https://www.state-journal.com/obituaries/dr-olney-mac-mccoy-patrick/article_d1bbe412-22f6-11ed-802c-43f211714424.html | true | 5 |
ALTHOUGH Kristen Wiig earned acclaim for Bridesmaids, her own marriage away from the cameras is a frequent topic of discussion.
Audiences are curious to know more about Kristen and the Wonder Woman 1984 star's relationship with Avi Rothman.
When did Kristen Wiig and Avi Rothman start dating?
In May 2016, Kristen Wiig and Avi Rothman were photographed being affectionate while on vacation together in Hawaii.
At the time, a source told PEOPLE: "They’ve been secretly dating for a few months. He’s her boyfriend. They’re really happy together."
In May 2019, the couple sparked engagement rumors after the Saturday Night Live alum was seen wearing a ring at the Los Angeles premiere of Olivia Wilde's Booksmart.
Sometime later, it was confirmed that Avi proposed to Kristen earlier that year.
When did Kristen and Avi get married?
On February 10, 2021, Kristen confirmed that she and Avi tied the knot.
Despite not providing an exact wedding date, the actress shared on The Howard Stern Show: "In my home, I am very lucky about having these two babies and my husband and they make it all better. They've changed my life."
Prior to her marriage to Avi, Kristen was married once before to Hayes Hargrove.
The former pair held their nuptials in 2005 but called it quits in 2009.

How many children do they have?
In June 2020, it was revealed that Kristen and Avi welcomed a pair of twins together named Luna and Shiloh.
Regarding her journey in motherhood, the SNL alum told InStyle: "As private as I am and as sacred as this all is, what helped me was reading about other women who went through it and talking to those who have gone through IVF and fertility stuff.
"It can be the most isolating experience. But I’m trying to find that space where I can keep my privacy and also be there for someone else who may be going through it."
Kristen stated: "You go through so much self-deprecation, and you feel like your partner may be seeing you in a different way and all this other stuff we make up in our heads.
"But when I did talk about it, every time I said that I was going through IVF, I would meet someone who was either going through it, about to go through it, or had a friend who just did it."
The Anchorman 2 actress repeated similar sentiments to ET: "I know everyone always says that, and everyone says, like, it changes how you look at the world and how you see love.
"Now it’s just, like, such a bigger thing, and all of that stuff is so true.
"Especially being in this business, you’re on your own a lot, and you make your own decisions."
She added: "It can be very sort of, like, an isolated existence.
"Now that I have kids, it’s like, ‘Oh, I don’t want this to be about me,' I don’t wanna think about me anymore." | https://www.the-sun.com/entertainment/6059704/kristen-wiig-avi-rothman-relationship-timeline/ | 2022-08-23T16:12:39Z | https://www.the-sun.com/entertainment/6059704/kristen-wiig-avi-rothman-relationship-timeline/ | true | 1 |

Man City stars look like they’re posing for sexy men’s calendar as they strip off and wink at camera ahead of Barca game
MANCHESTER CITY stars looked like they were posing for a calendar as they soaked up the summer sunshine earlier today.
The Prem champions are in Barcelona as they prepare to play a charity match against the Catalan giants.
With temperatures soaring above 30 degrees, City stars sizzled as they trained ahead of the game.
Some players ditched their shirts and looked to work on their tans during the session.
Fan favourite Joao Cancelo winked for the camera as he posed in the sunshine.
While Bernardo Silva, Phil Foden, Erling Haaland, Rodri and Ederson also ditched their tops.
City are out in Spain to play a friendly despite being three games into their Premier League season.
The timing of such a match would appear unusual, but funds raised are headed to a good cause.
Former Barca star and pal of Pep Guardiola, Juan Carlos Unzue, was diagnosed with ALS in 2020.
Now Guardiola, 51, has agreed to take his City side over to Spain to help raise money in honour of his friend.

All proceeds from ticket sales for the match will go towards helping to fund ALS research via the Luzon Foundation.
City stars could be forgiven for not going full pelt during the match itself, given that it comes during a frenetic start to the season.
The reigning champs were pushed all the way during their 3-3 draw with Newcastle on Sunday.
Goals by Haaland and Silva helped City salvage a point from 3-1 down at a raucous St James' Park.
After tomorrow night's match they'll quickly head home, with an Etihad date with Crystal Palace set for Saturday at 3pm. | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/9348628/man-city-calendar-strip-barca/ | 2022-08-23T16:16:48Z | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/9348628/man-city-calendar-strip-barca/ | true | 4 |

By Kim Pilling, PA
The jury in the trial of ex-Manchester United footballer Ryan Giggs has gone out to start its deliberations.
Giggs (48) is accused of controlling or coercive behaviour against his ex-girlfriend Kate Greville (38) during their relationship.
He is also said to have deliberately headbutted Ms Greville, injuring her lip, at his home in Worsley, Greater Manchester, and elbowing her sister, Emma (26) in the jaw.
Giggs denies the allegations.
His barrister, Chris Daw QC, told jurors at Manchester Crown Court the PR executive was a “scorned” woman furious at the defendant’s serial cheating throughout their on/off six-year relationship.
Her inability to accept his infidelity led to her falsely characterising Giggs as a physically and psychologically abusive boyfriend who made her a “slave to his every need and demand”, he said.
Giggs’s defence team said there was no evidence of him controlling anything Ms Greville did and claimed the alleged headbutt was “utterly incredible” and actually an accidental clash of heads or faces.
Giving evidence, Giggs admitted his reputation as a “love cheat” was justified and he had been unfaithful in all his relationships.
But he said he had never physically assaulted a woman or set out to control and coerce anyone.
Prosecutors say there are “two very different Ryan Giggses” – the one in the public eye and the one behind closed doors.
Peter Wright QC said the former Wales manager “thinks, or thought, he could do whatever he liked in respect of his treatment of Ms Greville and that he could get away with it”.
He said the “sad history” of the relationship revealed his “excesses were endured by her, excused and kept private”.
But he said all that changed on the night of November 1st, 2020, when he lost self-control and attacked her – and she had the “courage” to stand up to him to expose the Giggs “behind the mask”.
Summing up the case on Tuesday, Judge Hilary Manley asked the jury of seven women and five men to consider if the relationship “veered off the rails” due to Ms Greville’s inability to accept Giggs’s serial womanising, with her getting “her revenge by twisting and exaggerating their routine arguments”.
Or, she asked, was the relationship “much more sinister and darker”, involving a man exerting his power over an emotionally vulnerable woman, eventually leading to a loss of self-control?
Earlier, Judge Manley told jurors: “Put aside emotions. Continue to approach the case with a cool head and go where the evidence leads you.”
Giggs denies controlling or coercive behaviour towards Ms Greville between August 2017 and November 2020.
He also denies assaulting Ms Greville, causing actual bodily harm, and the common assault of Emma Greville. | https://www.echolive.ie/nationalsport/arid-40946177.html | 2022-08-23T16:22:50Z | https://www.echolive.ie/nationalsport/arid-40946177.html | true | 13 |
New York, April 04, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "Specialized Freight Trucking Global Market Report 2022" - https://www.reportlinker.com/p06250356/?utm_source=GNW
The global specialized freight trucking market is expected to grow from $889.89 billion in 2021 to $980.49 billion in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.2%. The market is expected to grow to $1,381.77 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9%.
The specialized freight trucking market consists of sales of specialized freight trucking services and related goods by entities (organizations, sole traders, and partnerships) that provide over-the-road transportation of household and office goods.
The main types in specialized freight trucking are automobiles and heavy equipment, bulk liquids, dry bulk materials, forest products, and refrigerated goods.Automobiles refer to a passenger vehicle designed for operation on ordinary roads and mainly having four wheels and a gasoline or diesel internal-combustion engine.
Heavy equipment is used to describe the heavy-duty machines that are used in the construction, forestry, agriculture, and mining industries.These machines are used to move earth and other large materials, but they are also used to drill, lift, grade, suction, pave, and compact.
The market is also segmented by size into heavy trucks, medium trucks, and light trucks and by application into oil and gas, industrial and manufacturing, energy and mining, food and beverages, pharmaceuticals and healthcare, and others.
Asia Pacific was the largest region in the specialized freight trucking market in 2021.North America was the second largest region in the specialized freight trucking market.
The regions covered in this report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East, and Africa.
The specialized freight trucking services market growth is aided by stable economic growth forecasted in many developed and developing countries. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) predicts that the global GDP growth will be 3.3% in 2020 and 3.4% in 2021. Recovering commodity prices, after a significant decline in the historic period is further expected to aid the market growth.

Additionally, emerging markets are expected to continue to grow slightly faster than the developed markets in the forecast period. Stable economic growth is expected to increase investments in end-user markets, thereby driving the market during the forecast period.
The outbreak of Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has acted as a massive restraint on the specialized freight trucking market in 2020 as governments-imposed lockdowns and restricted the movement of people and goods to contain the transmission.COVID-19 is an infectious disease with flu-like symptoms including fever, cough, and difficulty in breathing.
The virus was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei province of the People's Republic of China, and spread globally including Western Europe, North America, and Asia.Steps by national governments to contain the transmission have resulted in a decline in economic activity with countries entering a state of 'lock down' and the outbreak harmed businesses throughout 2020 and 2021.
However, it is expected that the specialized freight trucking market will recover from the shock.

Woman charged after trash, human feces found throughout home with 3 children, police say
FAIRMONT, W.Va (WDTV/Gray News) – A woman has been charged after officers said they found three dirty children in her home that was littered with trash, spoiled food and human feces.
According to a criminal complaint, officers responded to the home on Aug. 5 for a well-being check, where they found a 1-year-old and a 13-year-old in the home with no supervision.
In the home, officers said there was “massive clutter of garbage and decaying food throughout the house, human fecal matter on the floors, and hundreds of flies throughout the house and kitchen.”
Both children were “extremely dirty,” and officers said the 1-year-old had on a diaper that was “so soiled it appeared to have not been changed for at least several days.”
A third child who arrived at the home with 43-year-old Jenny Taylor also said he lived there.
Taylor has been charged with three counts of child neglect. She is being held at North Central Regional Jail on a $50,012 bond.

President of Poland: entire territory of Ukraine should be liberated, including Crimea
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.

"EUROPEAN PRAVDA" — TUESDAY, 23 AUGUST 2022, 15:25
ANDRZEJ DUDA. PHOTO FROM THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT OF UKRAINE
Polish President Andrzej Duda has declared the need to liberate the entire territory of Ukraine, including Crimea, from the Russian occupation.
He said this in Kyiv during a speech at the second summit of the Crimea platform, "European Pravda" reports.
"Crimea is Ukraine. Just as Gdańsk or Lublin are part of Poland, Crimea is and will be part of Ukraine," Duda said in Ukrainian.
He stated that it is impossible to return to business as usual with Russia when it is at war with Ukraine and occupies the territories of Ukraine.
"We can't go back to the line that was in place on 23 February. The entire territory of Ukraine must be liberated, including Crimea," Duda said.
He noted that he had not personally visited Crimea, but recalled how the poet Adam Mickiewicz wrote about it. "Since 2014, I began to think that I missed this opportunity. But in 2022, I began to believe that I would see the Ukrainian Crimea. I believe, Mr. Volodymyr [Zelenskyy - ed.], that you will show me Crimea," said the Polish leader.
The Crimea Platform is an international consultation and coordination format created in 2021 that aims to achieve the liberation of Crimea. The first summit was held last year, also on 23 August, in Kyiv.
It was attended by representatives of 47 states and international organisations, which approved a joint intergovernmental decision on how to act to end the annexation of Crimea and return it to Ukraine.

The American Society of Retina Specialists has voiced its opposition to a bill under consideration in the California Senate that would allow optometrists to perform surgical procedures on the eye, including procedures that require the use of a scalpel, injection or lasers.
The legislation, AB 2236, "dangerously reduces the medical education, clinical and surgical training requirements to become licensed in California to perform eye surgery," according to Safe Eyes America, a nonprofit focused on promoting high-quality eye care.
If enacted, an individual would no longer be required to complete medical school and the required surgical training to become licensed to perform eye surgery, which would be detrimental to patient safety and outcomes, according to the American Society of Retina Specialists and Safe Eyes America.
Retina specialists are ophthalmologists — physicians who complete four years of medical school followed by four years of training in eye diseases and surgery — with an additional two years specializing in treatment of the retina. Retina specialists are trained to perform all surgical procedures included in AB 2236.
"Every surgical procedure performed on the eye or eyelids requires education, training and experience to make the correct diagnosis, to make a decision on the best treatment be it surgery or not, and to develop the ability to perform the procedure," Safe Eyes America board member Kurt Heitman, MD, said in an Aug. 22 news release. "These are skills developed over years and shortcuts are just not safe for patients. A mistake anywhere along the path to surgery could have vision or even life-threatening consequences for the patient."
The California Senate is expected to vote on the legislation before it adjourns for the year on Aug. 31. | https://www.beckersasc.com/ophthalmology/lowering-eye-surgery-licensing-in-california-could-be-detrimental-to-patient-care-ophthalmologists-warn.html | 2022-08-23T16:24:30Z | https://www.beckersasc.com/ophthalmology/lowering-eye-surgery-licensing-in-california-could-be-detrimental-to-patient-care-ophthalmologists-warn.html | false | 1 |

Colony of prairie dogs face possible extermination for being too close to humans
LAFAYETTE, Colo. (KMGH) - As cute as they may be, prairie dogs can be a nuisance. At one office park, they’re getting too close for comfort.
“I definitely think they need to be relocated. (They’re) just a little bit too close to office space,” said Dr. JJ Wellman, owner of Happy Paws Veterinary Hospital.
Her veterinary office is at an office park right next door to a bustling prairie dog colony.
“They don’t belong, you know, adjacent to office buildings but, thankfully, there is a place for them to go,” she said.
The roughly 150 prairie dogs have caused enough problems that there now are plans in place by the owners’ association to remove them.
But how Wellman’s been told that will be done doesn’t sit well with her.
“We’ve only reached out to one company. The one company quoted $15 to $30,000 to trap as many as they could and fumigate the rest,” she said.
Instead, she would like them all to be relocated, not just some, and find a way for a new colony to not pop up again.
She said she’s also concerned about how the fumigation would affect the animals in her practice just feet away.
“We love animals, and that’s why I’ve dedicated my life to this, so we’re all supposed to just watch as prairie dogs are being fumigated out back? Like, it’s just not right, " Wellman said.
A proponent of the relocation and possible fumigation is the Boulder County Housing Authority. It owns the preschool nearby and the five lots around it where these prairie dogs currently reside.
In a statement, a spokesperson said, “BCHA supports relocating the maximum number of prairie dogs possible to help protect the preschool children and minimize contact with adults whose health may be at risk.”
Wellman said she just wishes it wasn’t at the cost of the prairie dogs’ lives.
“I’ve already been outvoted, but I’m hoping some media attention will help others advocate and for everyone to be a little bit more thoughtful about this decision,” she said.
There’s an association meeting scheduled for Wednesday morning, where businesses and the housing authority will learn more about the plans to remove the prairie dogs.

KYIV – With two teams playing in an empty stadium hundreds of miles away from their hometowns, the Ukrainian soccer league started its new season Tuesday after a poignant ceremony paying tribute to those fighting in the war with Russia.
The opening match at Kyiv’s 65,500-seat Olympic stadium — where spectators were not allowed in — saw two teams from the war-torn east of the country, Shaktar Donetsk and Metalist 1925, play out a 0-0 draw. The result, though, was always going to be an afterthought.
It was the first top-level soccer match played in the country since Russia's invasion in February, and the decision to restart the league has been hailed as a defiant sign that Ukrainians are ready to restore some sense of normal life. Although this game felt far from normal.
Ukraine remains under martial law and large public gatherings have been banned in the capital ahead of the Independence Day holiday Wednesday due to fears of potential Russian bombardment.
Police stood guard in front of the turnstiles, where weeds have grown after stadiums were closed six months ago, but no fans showed up to the arena. Three more league games were scheduled for later Tuesday.
“This is work ... to show the world that life in Ukraine does not stop but continues,” Shakhtar coach Igor Jovicevic said before the opening game. “Football is something that can move the emotions of the whole country and the people who fight for all of us. So football is essential for us individually, as a team, not only for Shakhtar but also for the entire Ukrainian Premier League. It helps to continue living and shows the world that football goes on.”
Players from the two teams entered the field with blue and yellow Ukrainian national flags draped over their shoulders and observed a minute of silence while the names of Ukrainian cities where people had died in the war were displayed on a large screen.
Players raised a Ukrainian flag at the stadium that once belonged to Danylo Myhal, a Canadian of Ukrainian descent. At the Montreal Olympics in 1976, Myhal ran onto the field carrying the flag during a match between the Soviet Union and East Germany. Wearing an embroidered shirt, he danced a Ukrainian folk dance before being detained.
“(Myhal) always dreamed of bringing his flag to Ukraine and today it’s finally happened," President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a televised address before kickoff. “It’s being raised today at the opening of the Ukrainian soccer championship.”

(KOIN/NEXSTAR) – An Alaska Airlines flight to San Diego was forced to return to Seattle after a piece of paneling that covered one of its engines began peeling off.
Alaska Airlines Flight 558 experienced an “unusual vibration” shortly after departure on Monday morning, prompting the plane to turn back to Sea-Tac International Airport for an emergency landing, Alaska Airlines wrote in a statement.
“Part of the metal paneling that covers the engine, called the cowling, detached from the aircraft when it landed,” the carrier confirmed.
Video circulating on social media appears to show the paneling flapping in the air and breaking apart after the aircraft touched down at Sea-Tac. Photos shared by a woman who claimed to be a passenger on the flight also showed several tarmac workers surrounding the aircraft after landing, along with what appeared to be a piece of the cowling resting on the plane’s left wing.
Alaska Airlines confirmed the aircraft, a Boeing 737-900ER, was taken out of service amid an investigation. No one on the plane was injured, according to the airline.
The carrier also praised its cockpit crew and flight attendants for facilitating the safe landing and their “tremendous professionalism” during the incident.
All 176 passengers were rebooked on alternate flights to San Diego, according to Alaska Airlines.
“We also greatly appreciated the patience of our guests during this event,” the airline said. | https://www.bigcountryhomepage.com/news/national-news/alaska-airlines-plane-loses-engine-paneling-during-emergency-landing/ | 2022-08-23T16:26:23Z | https://www.bigcountryhomepage.com/news/national-news/alaska-airlines-plane-loses-engine-paneling-during-emergency-landing/ | false | 27 |
Foreign Ministry issues demarche to Ankara for overflights
The Foreign Ministry issued a demarche to Ankara, as is the practice, for the overflights of Turkish F-16 in the Aegean on Tuesday.
Specifically, two pairs of Turkish F-16 entered the Athens Flight Information Region (FIR) without submitting a flight plan, violating Greece’s airspace.
One pair flew over the islet of Divounia, northwest of Kassos and Karpathos, at a height of 27,000 feet at 10.57 am, while the second pair flew over the islet of Kamilonisi, also northwest of Kassos and Karpathos, at 27,000 feet at 11 am.
The Hellenic National Defense General Staff announced that the jets were identified and intercepted by Greek fighters, as set out by international law.
Diplomatic sources note that this ministry practice of issuing a diplomatic note is followed in all challenges facing Greece. | https://www.ekathimerini.com/news/1191652/foreign-ministry-issues-demarche-to-ankara-for-overflights/ | 2022-08-23T16:26:29Z | https://www.ekathimerini.com/news/1191652/foreign-ministry-issues-demarche-to-ankara-for-overflights/ | false | null |
Who is Zachary Cruz? Parkland shooter’s brother ‘stars in reality show’ and trespassed at massacre site
Zachary Cruz is expected to testify for the defence in his brother Nikolas Cruz’s sentencing trial
The brother of Parkland mass shooter Nikolas Cruz is believed to be starring in a reality show about his life and was previously charged with trespassing at the school where his brother murdered 17 innocent people.
Zachary Cruz, 22, is expected to testify for the defence in Cruz’s sentencing trial, where a jury will decide whether to give him to life in prison without the possibility of parole or the death penalty.
Zacharay, who is 14 months younger than his 23-year-old murderer brother, has stood by Cruz ever since he carried out one of the deadliest school shootings in US history.
On Valentine’s Day 2018, Cruz took an Uber to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, armed with an AR-15 style rifle and gunned down students and staff.
Fourteen students and three educators were killed in the massacre.
While the trial is casting more of a spotlight on Cruz and his actions leading up to the mass shooting, Zachary also hit headlines in the aftermath of the attack.
Here’s what we know about Cruz’s younger brother:
Early life
Zachary has the same biological mother as Cruz and was also adopted by Lynda and Roger Cruz.
The boys’ birth mother was Brenda Woodard who, at the time of her pregnancy with Cruz, was homeless, an alcoholic, a drug addict and working as a prostitute.
Woodard had a long history of drug and alcohol abuse and a long rap sheet dating back to at least the 1980s.
When Cruz was born, he was adopted by the Cruz parents.
Around one year later, Zachary was born and was also adopted by the Cruz parents who raised the boys together.
The brothers also have an older sister Danielle Woodard who also shares the same birth mother. Unlike Zachary and Cruz, Danielle did grow up with Woodard, other biological relatives and lived in foster care.
When Cruz was five and Zachary four, Roger died, leaving Lynda to raise the two boys alone.
In the decade before the 2018 attack, Lynda appeared to struggle with both of her sons’ behaviour and called police to the family home dozens of times.
In total, the Broward County Sheriff’s Office had 43 contacts with the Cruz family prior to the Parkland massacre, 21 of which involved Cruz alone or both him and his brother, according to official records.
In November 2018 – just three months before the school shooting – Lynda died at the age of 68, leaving the two boys orphaned.
Trespassing at Marjory Stoneman
In the hours after the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, Zachary was allowed to meet with his brother in the police station, with footage later released to the media.
After that, he was accused of becoming fascinated with the fame his brother was getting.
He visited the site of the massacre at least three times and – after being warned to stay away – was charged with trespassing, authoritied said.
Zachary, who turned 18 one week after the mass shooting, told police he had gone to the school to “reflect on the school shooting and soak it all in”, according to an arrest report.
Prosecutors said that Zachary had been “heard observing how popular [Nikolas’] name is now” and questioned whether the fame would help to attract female attention.
He was given six months probation for trespassing at the shooting site.
Richard Moore
After his own brief stint in jail, Zachary was taken under the wing of Richard Moore.
Moore cofounded bond servicing company Nexus with his husband Mike Donovan and, when Zachary was arrested on 2018, the pair reached out to help the then-18-year-old.
Following his release, he moved from Florida to Virginia to live with the couple and their son.
They had never met prior to the massacre.
Moore has attended some of the trial and was in court on Monday at the start of the defence’s case.
He previously said that he doesn’t approve of what Cruz did but believes “nobody should face this alone”.
On Monday, prosecutors told the jury that Mr Moore had sent thousands of dollars of commissary to Cruz in prison “this year alone”.
Reality TV show
Prosecutors also mentioned a “reality show” featuring Zachary.
Prosecutor Jeff Marcus asked Danielle Woodard if she was aware of the show, saying that one of the episodes is called “Being Zachary Cruz”.
“Do you think it would be appropriate to capitalize on the murders of 14 children and three staff members at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School by filming, or creating a reality show based on being the brother of a mass murderer?” he asked.
The defence objected and Judge Elizabeth Scherersustained the objection but denied the defence’s request to strike the question from the record.
A Facebook account titled “Being Zach Cruz” and detailed as a TV show features photos of the 22-year-old.
The bio reads: “Follow Zach Cruz, the brother of the alleged Parkland shooter, as he adjusts to life after being tortured by police in FL and outside the direct shadow of his brothers infamous acts.”
The page is followed by 118 social media users.
Taking the stand
Both Zachary and Mr Moore are expected to be called to testify for the defence as early as this week.
Zachary is expected to speak to their troubled upbringing.
Attorneys for the two men filed a motion asking that prosecutors are banned from asking them certain questions, saying that some of them are “not appropriate”.
Last week, the judge denied the motion and ruled that both witnesses must answer all questions the state asks them in a deposition.

James Webb telescope captures stunning images of Jupiter
Latest images show that Jupiter's famous Great Red Spot does not appear red
published : 23 Aug 2022 at 21:56
writer: AFP
The James Webb Space Telescope of the United States space agency, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (Nasa), has captured stunning images of the planet Jupiter showing two tiny moons, faint rings and auroras at the northern and southern poles.
"We hadn't really expected it to be this good, to be honest," said planetary astronomer Imke de Pater of the University of California, Berkeley.
"It's really remarkable that we can see details on Jupiter together with its rings, tiny satellites, and even galaxies in one image," she said.
De Pater headed the observations of Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, with Thierry Fouchet of the Paris Observatory.
The composite images were taken with the observatory's Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and were artificially coloured because infrared light is not visible to the human eye.
This image obtained from Nasa and taken by the James Webb Space Telescope, shows Jupiter in a wide-field view, showing the planet with its faint rings, which are a million times fainter than the planet, and two tiny moons called Amalthea and Adrastea.
The auroras above the northern and southern poles of Jupiter have been mapped in redder colours while the Great Red Spot, a storm bigger than Earth, appears white.
One image shows Jupiter's faint rings and its moons Amalthea and Adrastea.
Launched in December 2021 from French Guiana on an Ariane 5 rocket, Webb is orbiting the Sun at a distance of a million miles (1.6 million kilometres) from Earth, in a region of space called the second Lagrange point.
In this image obtained from Nasa and taken by the James Webb Space Telescope, shows Jupiter's weather patterns, tiny moons, altitude levels, cloud covers and auroras at the northern and southern poles.
It took the spacecraft almost a month to reach the region, where it remains in a fixed position behind the Earth and Sun to give it a clear view of the cosmos.
The Webb telescope is an international collaboration between Nasa, the European Space Agency, and the Canadian Space Agency, involving more than 10,000 people. | https://www.bangkokpost.com/world/2375255/james-webb-telescope-captures-stunning-images-of-jupiter | 2022-08-23T16:30:51Z | https://www.bangkokpost.com/world/2375255/james-webb-telescope-captures-stunning-images-of-jupiter | true | 2 |

“It will require a growth rate of about 15 per cent. We need to sustain and accelerate the growth tempo to meet this target. To achieve this, the MPEDA plans to identify around 20 export markets which account for about 90 per cent of exports and assign each market to an officer, who would be tasked with gauging the export potential and monitoring the market trends,” he said.
“States play a significant role in the implementation of various activities of the MPEDA. Preparing a state-wise export development plan in consultation with states would be our priority,” Swamy added.

Court denies Ben & Jerry's effort to prevent sales in Israeli settlements
Issued on:
New York (AFP) – Ben & Jerry's lost its bid Monday to block its parent company Unilever from selling its ice cream in West Bank settlements, which the US firm said would run counter to its values.
The company, known for its political activism, took the unusual step seeking an injunction after London-based Unilever announced it had sold its interest in the ice cream to an Israeli license-holder.
However, a US federal judge ruled Monday the ice cream company had "failed to demonstrate" that the move to sell the goods in the Israeli-occupied settlements caused it "irreparable harm."
In July last year, Vermont-based Ben & Jerry's announced it would no longer sell its ice cream in the Palestinian territories, which the Jewish state seized in 1967, saying it was "inconsistent with our values," although it said it would keep selling its products in Israel.
However, Israeli license-holder Avi Zinger had continued to produce the ice cream in his factory in the suburbs of Tel Aviv and distribute it to the Israeli settlements, going against the company's decision.
Hundreds of thousands of Jewish settlers live in the occupied West Bank and east Jerusalem, in communities widely regarded as illegal under international law.
On July 5, Ben and Jerry's asked that any agreement allowing distribution or sale of its products in the West Bank be dissolved and that any further such transaction go before its board of directors to be given a green light.
Unilever's decision was "made without the consent of Ben & Jerry's Independent Board," and goes against the merger agreement that gave the board the ability to protect the founder's values and reputation, the complaint said.
However, US District Court Judge Andrew Carter Jr in Manhattan said the idea the company's messaging could be marred or customers could become confused about its core values was "too speculative."
Founded in the United States in 1978, Ben & Jerry's is known for championing progressive causes, including protecting the environment and promoting human rights, and has frequently released special ice cream flavors to support causes or in protest.
Contacted by AFP Monday, Ben & Jerry's declined to immediately comment on the decision.
Unilever did not respond to an AFP request for comment.

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — The Colorado ski resort Steamboat Springs has passed regulations for short-term rentals, such as those booked on Airbnb, amid a severe housing crisis.
The ordinances prohibit new short-term rentals in most of the city and require landlords to obtain a license to operate.
Renting short-term, defined as fewer than 30 days, has become increasingly popular for second homeowners and investors who can charge hundreds of dollars a night.
According to Airbnb, listings outside major cities skyrocketed nearly 50% during the pandemic as remote work became more prevalent.
A Colorado Association of Ski Towns survey showed that nearly two-thirds of home sales in 2020 went to newcomers who made more than $150,000 working outside major met areas.
Vacation towns facing low housing supply, from Lincoln County on Oregon's coast to Ketchum in Idaho’s Smoky Mountains, are grappling with how to regulate the industry, and Steamboat Springs' new rules could prove a model for others.
The Steamboat Springs City Council passed a ban in June on new short-term rentals. They also passed a ballot measure that would tax the industry 9% to fund affordable housing.
Businesses and property owners strongly oppose the proposed tax.
“The short-term rental industry brings people to town, funds the city, and you want to tax it out of existence?" coalition vice president and co-founder of a property management company Robin Craigen told the Associated Press. “It doesn’t make sense.” | https://www.fox4now.com/news/national/amid-housing-crises-vacation-towns-limit-short-term-rentals | 2022-08-23T16:44:52Z | https://www.fox4now.com/news/national/amid-housing-crises-vacation-towns-limit-short-term-rentals | false | 11 |

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- NATSO, representing truckstops and travel centers, along with SIGMA: America's Leading Fuel Marketers and the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS), urged the U.S. Department of Transportation to incentivize the nation's existing refueling locations to incorporate EV charging into their suite of fueling options as it implements the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula grant program.
The organizations representing more than 150,000 refueling locations nationwide urged the Department of Transportation to implement the NEVI grant program in a manner that does not simply invest public funds but drives policies that will positively shape the future of vehicle fast-charging markets. If federal investments are made without any effort to drive necessary policy and market reforms, or with unnecessary strings attached, the NEVI grant program will result in charging stations being placed in undesirable locations, limiting consumer interest in purchasing EVs and minimizing private companies' desire to invest in charging stations, NATSO, NACS and SIGMA said in comments filed with the U.S. DOT and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).
"Retail fuel companies are capable of single-handedly eliminating range anxiety," said NATSO Executive Vice President of Government Affairs David Fialkov. "All they need is a level playing field and an opportunity to generate a modest return. EV charging availability at existing retail fuel locations will mean drivers do not need to change their refueling habits if they choose not to. They can refuel on-the-go with the same safe, reliable service and amenities that they enjoy today."
"Bringing private investment to EV charging will lead to more of the infrastructure that drivers need," said NACS General Counsel Doug Kantor. "To do that, the NEVI Program should move the country toward a competitive EV charging market with a multitude of retail businesses in all parts of the country having the opportunity to invest and earn a profit. Encouraging private investment will mean state-of-the-art chargers in convenient locations with competitive low prices alongside the types of amenities that drivers have come to expect while they refuel."
"If NEVI investments are made without any effort to drive necessary policy and market reforms, the program will result in charging stations being placed in undesirable locations and likely operated by site hosts with limited incentive to provide consumers with a positive charging experience," said SIGMA Chairman of the Board Richard Guttman. "This ultimately will dampen consumer interest in purchasing EVs as well as charging station innovation."
- Flexibly administer the requirement that states locate electric vehicle charging stations every 50 miles along designated corridors. Rather than forcing states to meet an arbitrary 50-mile requirement where it isn't feasible, U.S. DOT should ensure that states can administer the program in accordance with their specific needs, especially in rural states, working with the private sector as required by law.
- Refrain from regulating or capping revenue earned from private sector operation of a NEVI-subsidized EV charging station. Regulated utilities should be precluded from imposing exorbitant rate hikes on their monthly customers to underwrite NEVI-funded charging station investments that the private sector is willing to make.
- Establish a transparent and uniform pricing structure across the charging station network, requiring NEVI-funded charging operators to display and base the price of electrical charge in dollars per kilowatt hour. A uniform, transparent pricing structure would allow consumers to compare offerings throughout the country.
- Encourage states to allow EV charging station operators to sell electricity to EV drivers without being regulated as a utility. In many states, utilities are opposing efforts by prospective charging station operators to generate their own electricity to power their charging stations. This opposition reflects an effort by regulated utilities to undermine the case for private investment in charging stations and inhibits EV penetration.
- Require states to consider driver safety and convenience by locating chargers at sites that have on-site employees to call emergency personnel when needed and offer amenities that attract other highway travelers. Co-locating charging stations with 24/7 amenities will invariably make consumers more comfortable purchasing an EV without concern for undue safety risks when refueling.
- Avoid bureaucratic hurdles that would inadvertently depress the market for electric vehicle charging. The "Buy America" provision, for example, requires charging station equipment to be manufactured in the United States yet virtually no equipment on the market today meets the "Buy America standards." Such requirements would significantly delay charging projects.

Investment in R&D increased 26.3% to RMB 221 million. Recorded revenue was RMB 54.7 million.
Global development of KRAS G12C inhibitor and other clinical stage drug candidates accelerated.
Development started in new pre-clinical stage drug candidates, such as iADC (immunostimulatory antibody-drug conjugate), P53, and PARP7.
BEIJING, SHANGHAI and BOSTON, Aug. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Jacobio Pharma (1167.HK), an innovative novel drug developer focused on undruggable targets, released interim 2022 results, new business updates and expected milestones. During H1 2022, investment in R&D increased 26.3% year-on-year to RMB 221 million. Revenue generated from Jacobio's out licensing deal with AbbVie for SHP2 inhibitors was RMB 54.7 million, in line with the same period a year earlier.
"We accelerated our clinical stage programs in the first half of 2022. Through the period, our SHP2 inhibitors completed a number of first dosages of combination therapies. Also, Phase I data for the KRAS G12C inhibitor JAB-21822 was reported at the 2022 ASCO Annual Meeting. Expanding our reach and capabilities, we started a clinical trial in Europe for the first time and expanded our ongoing trials in China and the U.S.," said Dr. WANG Yinxiang, Chairman and CEO of Jacobio.
"Meanwhile, to fulfil our strategic goal of ensuring our 'key programs are among the top three in the world and obtain the global market', we continued developing pre-clinical programs to expand our pipeline, such as our KRAS related pipeline including KRASmulti and KRAS G12D. We also continued developing several new drugs, including iADC (immunostimulatory antibody-drug conjugate) programs, P53 inhibitor, PARP7 inhibitor, and others," said Dr. WANG.
Development progress of core pipeline products:
SHP2 inhibitors: JAB-3312 & JAB-3068
- In combination with KRAS G12C inhibitor
-Global: A dose escalation study was completed in July 2022 for JAB-3312 in combination with Sotorasib to treat KRAS G12C treatment naïve NSCLC patients.
-China: First dosing in a study of the combination therapy of JAB-3312 and JAB-21822 was completed in May 2022 and a Phase I dose escalation study is ongoing. Partial response (PR) was observed in the first NSCLC patient enrolled at the first dose level.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Aug. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Applications for the 2022 enrichEd® Classroom grant program will be accepted from August 22 through September 16.
US Eagle Foundation's enrichEd® program is in its fourth year. It is designed to support New Mexico public and charter school teachers by providing educators with $1,000 each for educational resources and classroom activities. The program addresses challenges New Mexico currently faces in terms of funding, resources, and innovation. Through this initiative, local schools are able to implement projects that excite curiosity and motivate children to learn.
New Mexico ranks next to last in public education nearly every year. "Teachers spend their own money in the classroom, trying to prevent students from falling behind. As leaders in our community, we feel compelled to step up and support them," said US Eagle Federal Credit Union President/CEO Marsha Majors.

Ewe won’t believe it! The bizarre Canadian dance troupe that is bewildering audiences by pretending to be SHEEP for half an hour
- A Toronto-based dance group act out a pastoral performance live on the streets
- The group says its aim is to present a 'surrealistic overview of sheep behaviour'
- They have performed in China, Israel, India, South Africa and the Artic Circle
A bizarre spectacle greeted the folk of Shawinigan, Québec over the weekend.
A shepherd could be seen leading a flock of creatures with farmyard bells swinging from their neck, filling the air with the sound of baaaaa and chewing on greens when they arrived at their pen.
But it wasn't a flock of sheep that had come grazing around the streets of Québec, but a Toronto-based group performing an immersive art project called 'Les Moutons'.
In the performance, actors dressed as sheep are led around the city by their shepherd, who takes them to a pen before 'shearing' them.
There, he might feed the 'sheep' lettuce which they eagerly chew on, lapping up the greens from the hands of audience members.
He also 'milks' the sheep — via a mechanism which remains a secret to the audience.
A Toronto-based dance group called 'Les Moutons' is commonly seen grazing around the streets of Canada, where actors dress as sheep and act out a pastoral performance live
The group says its aim is to take the audience through a 'surrealistic overview of sheep behaviour'
'We do half-an-hour in the life of sheep, without any commentary' said the company's artistic director and co-founder, David Danzon, who formed the dance group Corpus in 1997 with artistic partner Sylvie Bouchard.
'Les Moutons' doesn't boast any particular ethos on its website, solely focusing on the performance for artistic purposes.
The group says its aim is to take the audience through a 'surrealistic overview of sheep behaviour.'
It certainly does just that, with the group finding audiences all over the world to watch the strange performances.
Passersby were recorded saying children will stand for hours watching the group.
On some occasions, a 'wolf' appears — frightening the sheep — and hunting down one of their number before the shepherd chases it away.
The sheep can be seen trembling after their brush with death.

'I was instantly attracted to the humour of it, and the absurdity,' said actor and dancer Jolyane Langlois, who performs as one of the sheep.
Other actors said they were interested in the 'technique of sheep' and the performative side of the dance.
The group holds auditions before every show, looking for actors who have a background in dance before they can join the flock.
'Les Moutons' have performed hundreds of times in more than 30 countries including India, China, Israel and the Arctic circle.
The performance was nominated for the Dora Mavor Moore Award for outstanding choreography in 2003.
The 'sheep' took their performance digital with the farmer chasing away the wolf via a Zoom link this time
Ditching Zoom, the group plans on performing live in Germany, the US and Japan for the rest of 2022
When the pandemic hit, the sheep performers were not deterred. They took their performance digital — with the farmer chasing away the wolf via a Zoom link this time.
The group has expanded to include a more diverse range of shows, premiering a new performance at Edinburgh Fringe this year called 'La Bulle'.
Many of the cast are from abroad, coming to settle in Canada from countries such as Germany.

ABBOTT PARK, Ill., Aug. 23, 2022
- Abbott's new Proclaim™ Plus spinal cord stimulation (SCS) system offers the next generation of stimulation therapy, giving physicians the ability to treat multi-site and evolving pain
- The system builds on the company's proprietary therapy, BurstDR™ stimulation, that works by mimicking natural patterns found in the brain1 to deliver superior pain relief2,3 and is preferred to traditional "tingling" tonic stimulation by 87% of patients4
- The Proclaim Plus SCS System can be used in conjunction with Abbott's NeuroSphere™ Virtual Clinic, which allows people to connect with their doctor and receive remote programming adjustments from the comfort of their home*
ABBOTT PARK, Ill., Aug. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Abbott (NYSE: ABT) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved its new Proclaim™ Plus spinal cord stimulation (SCS) system featuring FlexBurst360™ therapy. The next generation of Abbott's proprietary BurstDR™ stimulation, FlexBurst360 therapy offers pain coverage across up to six areas of the trunk and/or limbs and enables programming that can be adjusted as a person's therapeutic needs evolve.
Designed to fit within a person's life, the Proclaim Plus SCS system is recharge-free with a battery that can last up to 10 years.^ It can be used with Abbott's NeuroSphere™ Virtual Clinic connected care technology, which allows a person to both communicate with a physician through secure in-app video chat and remotely receive stimulation settings in real time regardless of location.*
More than 50 million people in the U.S. suffer from chronic pain5 and 88% of those have pain in at least two or more different areas of their body.6 SCS therapy, also known as neurostimulation, is an implanted device that sends mild electrical pulses to the nerves along the spinal cord, changing the way the body perceives pain signals, which can relieve chronic pain and improve quality of life. According to the U.S. Pain Foundation, chronic pain is the leading cause of people going to the doctor and costs the nation approximately $635 billion each year in healthcare, disability and lost productivity costs.7
"Spinal cord stimulation has provided tremendous relief for patients suffering from chronic pain. With its ability to mimic natural patterns found in the brain, the Abbott BurstDR platform has been a game-changer in this space, helping to not only improve a patient's ability to perform everyday activities but also relieve the emotional suffering§ that pain can cause," said Steven Falowski, M.D., Argires Marotti Neurosurgical Associates of Lancaster, Lancaster, Pa. "However, despite the many benefits of BurstDR, such as being effective as a low-energy stimulation therapy, some patients continue to be burdened by pain because of multiple painful areas and evolving pain over time. Now, with Proclaim Plus and FlexBurst360, an already established platform has been improved to treat more patients who suffer from pain across different body parts and changing pain over time."
BurstDR therapy is Abbott's exclusive stimulation technology that delivers pulses – or bursts – of mild electrical energy to alter pain signals as they travel from the spinal cord to the brain. Clinical studies have shown that BurstDR technology delivers superior pain relief as compared to tonic stimulation3, improves people's day-to-day life, and reduces the emotional suffering§ associated with pain.4 When compared to standard tonic stimulation technology, which provides a constant tingling sensation felt by the patient, 87% of people preferred BurstDR technology, which provides pain relief in a sub-sensory range not felt by the patient.4
Using FlexBurst360 therapy on the Proclaim Plus system, physicians can identify the lowest effective dose of stimulation for each patient and adapt it based on evolving pain needs. The system allows doctors control over multiple independent BurstDR stimulation areas to provide broader pain coverage without overstimulation risk.8
The Proclaim Plus system with FlexBurst360 therapy is designed to fit seamlessly within a person's life and therapy settings can be accessed using either a personal mobile device** or through an Abbott-provided mobile device. Patients can use the same device to access Abbott's proprietary NeuroSphere Virtual Clinic, a first-of-its-kind neurostimulation technology9 in the U.S. that allows patients to communicate with physicians, ensure proper functionality of their device, and receive remote adjustments to their therapeutic settings as needed.
"At Abbott, we are deeply committed to advancing the field of neurostimulation, thus helping people address the challenges they face while managing their chronic pain," said Pedro Malha, vice president, neuromodulation, Abbott. "Our latest development, Proclaim Plus with FlexBurst360 therapy, is yet another testament of that commitment."
* Anywhere with a cellular or Wi-Fi connection and sufficiently charged patient controller.
^Up to 10 years of battery longevity at the lowest program setting: 0.6mA, 500 Ohms, duty cycle 30s on/360s off, single area BurstDR stimulation. Refer to the IFU for additional information.
§ Pain and suffering as measured by visual analog scale.

Tim Burgess of The Charlatans Shares Video for New Solo Song “Sure Enough”
Typical Music Due Out September 23 via Bella Union
Tim Burgess of The Charlatans is releasing his new solo album, Typical Music, on September 23 via Bella Union. Now he has shared another song from it, “Sure Enough,” via an animated video for the single. Callum Scott-Dyson directed the video. Watch it below.
Burgess had this to say about the video in a press release: “I really enjoyed the video Callum made for ‘Laurie’ from I Love the New Sky. So when I finished Typical Music [the album], I sent him the 22 tracks and he picked ‘Sure Enough’ as a track he’d love to work on and as we had it earmarked for a single it just felt like the right thing to do.”
Scott-Dyson had this to say: “As soon as I heard the track, I thought it’d be perfect for my stop motion style as the song had a really naturalistic, sort of old school sound, and my style is a little more retro than most animated stuff so I was excited to dig in! On the last video I did with Tim we did a card cut-out video with a bit of a narrative and character running through it, so this time I wanted to just do something a bit more light, fun, and montage based, sometimes playing off the lyrics and other times just doing its own thing. I also decided to go with felt as the main material for all the elements in the video, which posed a bit more of a challenge in terms of movement but I was excited for the video to have a different feel and texture to anything I’d done in the past. I’m really happy with how it all came together and I hope people really enjoy it and feel more positive and upbeat when they check it out!”
In April, Burgess shared the album track “Here Comes the Weekend,” which was one of our Songs of the Week. In June, when the album was announced, Burgess shared the album’s title track, “Typical Music,” which was also one of our Songs of the Week.
Burgess had this to say about album in a previous press release: “OK, we all know about double albums, right? Historically, they’ve been thought of as indulgent. But I came to the conclusion that what I was doing was the opposite of that. I wanted to give people everything that I’d done. Every idea was treated as if it was the best thing and had to be treated with extreme care. I wanted to give everything of myself. That was it.”
He added: “I fell in love with the world again. During Covid, I read a pile of books, got better on guitar. I had new perspective. I wanted to learn how to be Tim Burgess who makes solo records. People have a vision of me as the singer in The Charlatans. That’s not going to change. Then there’s me as the Twitter guy. But I just fell in love with the world again and wanted the world to take me with them.”
Typical Music was recorded at Rockfield Studios in Monmouthshire, Wales, and features musical contributions from Daniel O’Sullivan and Thighpaulsandra. Longtime collaborator Daniel O’Sullivan (Grumbling Fur, Sunn O))), Ulver) produced the album, which was mixed by Dave Fridmann (Tame Impala, Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev).
Last September, Burgess released the book The Listening Party, written about his Twitter listening parties.

A Texas rideshare driver was killed when her car was swept off a bridge in historic flash flooding — dying while calling her husband to beg for help from the fast-rising water, according to a report.
Joleen Jarrell, a 60-year-old mother of three, was on her way home from a job Monday when her vehicle was swept off a bridge as nearly 12 inches of rain fell in the suburban Dallas city of Mesquite, her friends told CBS11.
“She was on the phone with her husband and told him the water had reached her ankles, then her knees…,” the station’s Andrea Lucia tweeted.
“The call disconnected and the woman’s husband came out here searching for her,” she said.
“Friends describe her as a hardworking mom who lost her life for an $18 [rideshare] fare,” Lucia said.
Before Jarrell had been identified, Mesquite Fire Chief Rusty Wilson confirmed to reporters at the scene that the dead woman’s loved ones were already searching for her when rescue crews arrived.
“They were on the phone with her … and lost contact with her,” Wilson confirmed of the harrowing call. The whole area around her car had been completely covered in floodwater, he confirmed.
However, they were only able to find Jarrell’s car once the water started to subside, CBS 11 said — with her husband first to spot it.
The fire chief said he had lost count of how many other cars had needed to be towed after getting stuck in flooding in the surrounding area.
One stranded motorist told CBS 11 that their car “just floated on in the ditch.”
“You had to swim because the water was up past my chest,” the witness said.
The City of Mesquite said 11.66 inches of rain fell in the “historic rainfall event.” The National Weather Service (NWS) also said the area had “broken several records.”
“The Dallas-Fort Worth area was pretty much ground zero for the heaviest rain,” NWS meteorologist Daniel Huckaby said.
CBS 11’s report said that Jarrell worked for Uber, although the company told The Post that “the incident does not appear to be connected to the Uber platform.” Lyft did not immediately respond to requests. | https://nypost.com/2022/08/23/rideshare-driver-died-while-on-phone-to-husband-during-flooding/ | 2022-08-23T17:15:56Z | https://nypost.com/2022/08/23/rideshare-driver-died-while-on-phone-to-husband-during-flooding/ | true | 3 |
Barely a month after a hunter mistook a human being for an antelope and shot him at Wassa Essamang in the Western Region, a similar incident has happened in the same forest.
The assembly member for Essamang Electoral Area, Amos Adjei, confirmed the incident in an interview with Takoradi-based Skyy Power FM, and mentioned the name of the deceased as Kwabena Manu, 53.
He indicated that though this is the second time such incident had happened in a space of a month, the residents cannot relate it to spirituality.
He narrated that two hunters, Emmanuel Teye, 49, and Kwabena Manu separately went hunting in the Essamang forest.
According to the assemblyman, in the course of hunting, Teye spotted some leaves that were persistently wiggling.
Teye mistook it for a deer he was chasing, so he positioned himself and shot at it.
He later heard a loud voice shouting for help, and he rushed to the scene to see Kwabena Manu, his fellow hunter in a pool of blood.
Teye immediately reported himself to the police. The lifeless body of the deceased has since been deposited at the morgue while investigation has commenced.
The assembly member said visibility is an issue when it comes to hunting, adding: “We have advised the hunters to be very sure it is an animal they’re shooting at before they take a shot.”
He revealed that sensitisation programmes have been organised for the hunters in the area after the first incident, but it is unfortunate that a similar incident has happened just within a space of about three weeks.
“We have met with the hunters to sensitise them on their work, and we have already told them to be careful in their field of work because it is a very dangerous venture,” he pointed out. | https://www.adomonline.com/hunter-mistakes-friend-for-game-and-shoots-fatally/ | 2022-08-23T17:18:54Z | https://www.adomonline.com/hunter-mistakes-friend-for-game-and-shoots-fatally/ | false | 1 |

'The Real Housewives of New York City' Casts Fashion Influencer Lizzy Savetsky For Reboot
Aug. 23 2022, Published 11:30 a.m. ET
The highly anticipated The Real Housewives of New York City reboot may have found it's first cast member. According to reports, fashion influencer Lizzy Savetsky has been one of the first women cast in the all new iteration of the beloved reality show.
The native of Texas boasts more than 200,000 followers on Instagram and shares three children with her plastic surgeon husband Dr. Ira Savetsky.
The social media sensation, who is extremely vocal about her jewish faith, recently opened up about her struggle with alcohol and her decision to stop drinking. “It was Shabbat afternoon. I started drinking at the synagogue and then continued at home," she said in a recent interview. "We were having guests over and I blacked out while hosting. I don’t remember anything until I woke up the next morning.”
“In that moment I realized I could lose everything," Savetsky noted. "That’s when I was willing to hand everything over to God and give this battle my all.”
As OK! previously reported, Bravo and Andy Cohen announced earlier this year that after a lackluster season 13, RHONY would be splitting into two shows — one featuring a new diverse cast of new New York women and RHONY Legacy which will follow the original cast members.
"You know that we’re at a crossroads for ‘RHONY,'" the executive producer pointed out. "We’ve spent a lot of time figuring out where to go. And the plan that we’ve come up with, I think, is a real gift to the fans."
'RHONY' ALUM DORINDA MEDLEY REVEALS 'ULTIMATE GIRLS TRIP' SEASON 2 IS 'JUST A BOMBSHELL'
“Bravo found people aren’t responding as well to the constant bickering and fighting of the [previous] cast. They’re hoping that this new cast will be a bit more inspiring and attract the younger audience,” an insider close to the franchise revealed.
According to sources, casting in under way with women who are “already strong in the influencer space, and they are more aspirational.”
“They’re women who have their own brands,or at least strong Instagram followings," the insider noted of the ladies who will replace Luann de Lesseps, Sonja Morgan, Ramona Singer, Eboni K. Williams and Leah McSweeney.
Page Six was the first to report Lizzy Savetsky's casting.

(WSVN) - Polls are opened in South Florida for voters to make their primary picks.
It’s certainly a big day in Florida politics as many voters across South Florida both in Miami-Dade and Broward counties woke up early to have their voices heard, Tuesday.
Voters turned out for the state’s primary election to ensure their voices are heard while keeping the issues that matter to them a priority.
“The school system, the violence in school,” said Regina Clarke, a Miami-Dade voter.
“We have people in office who are more concerned with lining their pockets than they are doing the job they were elected to do,” said Nate Clarke, a Miami-Dade voter.
Several issues are on the ballot for these voter, such as abortion.
“This whole taking a women’s right away for her, you know, opinion to either have a child or not to have a child,” said Nina Johnson, a Miami-Dade voter.
Aside from the issues as these voters seek change, they are also several highly coveted races on the ballot, which includes the congressional seat in District 20 that sees a rematch between incumbent Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick and former Mayor Dale Holness.
That race was decided by just a handful of voters back in 2020.
“Ending misogyny for everyone,” Cherfilus-McCormick said.
A women’s rights to chose is human rights,” Holness said.
Four other incumbents are looking to hold onto their seats, which includes Republican Mario Diaz Balart, Maria Elvira Salazar, Carlos Gimenez, and Democrat Federica Wilson.
In District 35, two democrats, Lauren Book and Dr. Barbera Sharief, will go head-to-head for a state senate seat.
With an evenly split senate, Democrats face the task of choosing the best candidate who will face off against Republican Sen. Marco Rubio in November’s general election.
“I’m just proud to be apart of the election of people for the state of Florida,” said Marie Petway, a Broward County voter.
“I just came to vote for who I wanted to vote, that’s it,” said Giovanni Tapari, a Broward County voter.
Polls opened at 7 a.m and will keep welcoming voters to cast their ballots until 7 p.m.
According to voters that spoke to 7News, the process so far has been seamless with little to no lines at most locations.
“Turnout is a bit lighter than what I would like. That is traditional for a primary election,” said Christina White, Miami-Dade Supervisor of Elections. “Of course we have very high turnout for presidential elections, sometimes not as high in primaries.”
While South Florida now awaits for the results of this primary, there is confidence in knowing that voters did their part.
“You have to have your voice heard right?” said Lauri Ballard, a Broward County voter.
You know, once we vote., that’s who’s going to be in the chair,” Regina said.
As many as these voters exercise their right and take part in this democratic process, it’s the state and local positions that really matter the most and affect everyday lives.
At a polling place at North-Dade Regional Library, some people showed up to the wrong polling location. Staff on-hand directed voters to the correct location.

Gas prices drop 70 days in a row in the second-longest streak since 2005
By Matt Egan, CNN Business
Drivers have something to smile about: A historic drop in gasoline prices.
The national average for a gallon of regular gas has dropped every single day since soaring to a record high of $5.02 a gallon on June 14, according to AAA.
This 70-day streak of falling prices at the pump is the second longest on record going back to 2005, Bespoke Investment Group noted in a report titled “The Great American Summer of Falling Gas Prices.”
The national average for regular gas dipped on Tuesday to $3.89 a gallon, down from $4.38 a month ago.
Although prices are 73 cents higher than a year ago, the recent drop is significant, especially given the inflation alarm bells set off by the surge above $5 just two months ago.
The only longer streak since 2005 lasted 117 days and ended in January 2015, according to Bespoke. Moreover, the percentage decline in gas prices so far this month is the steepest at this point in August on record, the report found.
There are a number of factors behind this summer’s tumble in gas prices, and not all of them are positive.
First, $5 proved to be a breaking point for many drivers, with some choosing to drive less. That loss in demand helped balance the market.
At the same time, US recession fears and worries about China’s economy drove oil prices sharply lower, taking gas prices along for the ride.
On the supply side, the Biden administration’s unprecedented release of emergency oil from the national stockpile helped take pressure off energy prices.
At the peak in mid-June, the national average for regular gas was up by a staggering 50% on the year. But following the summer plunge, gas prices are now up less than 19% on the year. That is just one percentage point more than the average year-to-date change for all years since 2005, according to Bespoke.
“Who would have thought back in the spring that by late summer we’d be looking at nothing more than an average year in terms of the [year-to-date] change in gas prices,” Bespoke analysts wrote in the note.
The streak of falling gas prices could end if oil prices continue to rise.
After dropping to a nearly eight-month low of $86.53 a barrel last week, US crude jumped 3% Tuesday and climbed back above $93 on signs that OPEC and its allies could take action.
Saudi Arabia’s energy minister told Bloomberg News that OPEC+ may be forced to cut production, adding that “extreme” volatility and a lack of liquidity mean the futures market is increasingly “disconnected” from fundamentals.
A supply cut from OPEC+ would mark a significant shift from the influential producer group and could lift oil prices.

As the end of the pandemic moratorium on student loan payments approaches, the White House may be moving closer to forgiving $10,000 in student debt for borrowers making less than $125,000 per year.
CNN reported Monday that White House officials are positioning themselves to announce something this week about the issue as the pause in student debt payments, enacted during the COVID-19 pandemic, ends Aug. 31.
That announcement, possibly on Wednesday, could include forgiveness of $10,000 in student debt for those making less than $125,000 per year, and possibly more for those under a certain income level, according to the report.
"We have been talking daily about this," Education Secretary Miguel Cardona told NBC's Chuck Todd on "Meet the Press" Sunday. "I can tell you that the American people will hear within the next week or so from the president and the Department of Education on what we will be doing around that."
Cardona said he didn't have "any news to announce," but that the American people "will hear directly from us because we recognize this is an important issue around the country."
Nearly halfway through his first term, President Joe Biden has yet to make good on his campaign promise of forgiving up to $10,000 in student loan debt per borrower.
"We should forgive a minimum of $10,000 per person of federal student loans, as proposed by Sen. [Elizabeth] Warren, D-Mass., and colleagues," Biden posted on Twitter in March 2020. "Young people and other student debt holders bore the brunt of the last crisis. It shouldn't happen again."
According to a recent article on the Nerdwallet website, federal student loan debt totals $1.62 trillion with 46 million borrowers, and accounts for 92% of all student debt in the nation.
Of the 46 million borrowers, 24.9 million are in "forbearance," or temporarily postponing repayment of the obligation, another 7.5 million are in default, 1.2 million are in a "grace period," 3.1 million are in "deferment," and just 400,000 (less than 10%) are actively repaying the notes, according to the article.
Cardona said during his interview that the Biden administration has already forgiven some $32 billion in student debt through the 2017 Public Service Loan Forgiveness program that allows full-time workers, employed by qualified employers, who have made at least 120 qualifying payments eligible to have the balance of their loans forgiven.
"From day one we have been really focused on making sure we are protecting our students and our borrowers," Cardona said. "Thirty-two billion dollars in debt forgiveness since day one. We know that Aug. 31 is a date that many people are waiting to hear something from."

Largest Contract Award to Date for Harland & Wolff (Arnish)
Harland & Wolff, the iconic multisite fabrication company with over 160 years of maritime and offshore engineering pedigree is delighted to announce that its Arnish yard has been awarded a contract for the fabrication of eight ground anchor and A-space frames by a Greenland-based mining company.
The full scope of work will include four ground anchor frames and four A-space frames as well as other steel components. The frame components will make up part of the barge mooring system located at the Greenland based mine and will allow the barges to moor at the quayside.
Work on the project is due to commence in September 2022, with final delivery by April 2023.
John Wood, Group Chief Executive Officer commented: "We are delighted that we have been trusted to deliver critical components for this mining infrastructure project. Selected for its location and extensive on-site capability, this is the Arnish yard's first export project within the mining sector. Further supporting the Group's multi-market strategy, Harland & Wolff (Arnish) has now delivered components in the nuclear, renewables, marine and oil and gas sectors in 2022 alone. We now look forward to delivering these key mining components over the next ten months and to a long prosperous partnership."
Harland & Wolff is a multisite fabrication company, operating in the maritime and offshore industry through five markets: commercial, cruise and ferry, defense, energy and renewables.
Its Belfast yard is one of Europe’s largest heavy engineering facilities, with deep water access, two of Europe’s largest drydocks, ample quayside and vast fabrication halls. As a result of the acquisition of Harland & Wolff (Appledore) in August 2020, the company has been able to capitalize on opportunities at both ends of the ship-repair and shipbuilding markets where there will be significant demand.
In February 2021, the company acquired the assets of two Scottish-based yards along the east and west coasts. Now known as Harland & Wolff (Methil) and Harland & Wolff (Arnish).

DENVER, Colo. — Are you missing out on free money for college for you or your student? A new report by Sallie Mae found 75% of families don't know a key date to get financial aid for school.
This year, that application opens on October 1, and money is awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. That's why it's so important to apply right away.
“If you're not in line for that aid and you're eligible for it, you could miss out,” said Rick Castellano, the vice president of corporate communications for Sallie Mae.
FAFSA stands for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid.
“It really is the gateway to about $112 billion in federal financial aid,” said Castellano.
Unfortunately, Castellano says about half of students and their families don't fill out the FAFSA because they don't think they qualify.
“Every family, every student is able to complete the FAFSA and should complete the FAFSA for that matter. There's no income limit to completing the FAFSA, and just about every student who completes the FAFSA is going to apply is going to be eligible for some form of aid,” said Castellano.
Every family and student will qualify for different loans, grants and scholarships based on factors like income, the cost of tuition, and how many students in the family are also in college.
Everyone can qualify for something, even middle-income earners making more than $100,000. For grants, students are eligible for anywhere between $4,980 and $10,345 per year, according to savingforcollege.com.
For scholarships and loans, the maximum amount can be in the low tens of thousands of dollars per year.
When filling out the FAFSA, Castellano encourages families to apply for other scholarships outside the application.
Sallie Mae found less than 60% of families use scholarships, with millions of dollars going unused every year.
“The 45% of those who don't apply for scholarships basically say, ‘I don't think I qualify,' or, you know, 'scholarships are really just for the star athlete or the valedictorian.’ I'm here to bust that myth,” said Castellano.
About 6 in 10 students who used scholarships got them directly from their student's school, and those are awarded often by filling out the FAFSA. On average, students receive around $6,335 in school scholarships, but there's more money to be earned.
“Sallie Mae has a free scholarship search that's home to six million scholarships, collectively worth $30 billion. So, we're talking about scholarships for things like skateboarding, for being left-handed, for being over six feet tall,” said Castellano.
Those smaller scholarships add up and can go toward books, housing or meals.
“It's so critical to get in line for that aid early. You don't want to lose your spot in line because that's when that first-come, first-serve money would be left on the table or go to someone else,” said Castellano.
This process should be easier for families moving forward. Congress approved a streamlined online FAFSA with fewer questions. That will go online for the next school year.

Meghan Markle's podcast, Archetypes, has arrived—and her first episode includes a conversation with Serena Williams about the word "ambitious."
"I don't remember ever personally feeling the negative connotation behind the word 'ambitious' until I started dating my now husband," Meghan explained during the chat, via People. "And um, apparently ambition is, uh… a terrible, terrible thing, for a woman that is — according to some. So, since I've felt the negativity behind it, it's really hard to un-feel it. I can't unsee it, either, in the millions of girls and women who make themselves smaller — so much smaller — on a regular basis."
Megan also opened up about writing a letter to Hillary Clinton about a Procter & Gamble commercial for dish soap that was advertised only to women. The company ended up changing the commercial, and Megan called the experience an "awakening to the millions of ways, big and small, that our society tries to box women in, to hold women back, to tell women who and what they should and can be. I've never lost touch with that reality, and in the last few years, my desire to do something about it has grown. My 11-year-old voice has also gotten a little more confident — maybe a little louder."
Listen to the full episode below (Prince Harry makes a brief cameo!) and FYI that next week Meghan is talking to Mariah Carey, which will obviously also be unmissable. | https://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/a40966794/meghan-markle-spotify-podcast-ambition-prince-harry/ | 2022-08-23T17:29:05Z | https://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/a40966794/meghan-markle-spotify-podcast-ambition-prince-harry/ | true | 1 |
The Auckland Lantern Festival will be held at a new venue next year after three years of cancellations due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Auckland Unlimited announced today that Manukau Sports Bowl has been selected as the venue for the popular free event celebrating the Year of the Rabbit.
Auckland Mayor Phil Goff says the festival is one of the city's best-loved cultural events and the move to Manukau is a new direction and a fresh start.
"Auckland is renowned for hosting world-class events, and with the city's pandemic recovery now well underway and most restrictions lifted, it is fantastic to be able to come together once again to celebrate our diversity and the richness in culture the Chinese community brings to our city," Goff said.

Advertise with NZME."Taking the event outside the central city for the first time and into the heart of south Auckland will add a new vibe and flavour to the festivities and better cater to the large crowds that the Lantern Festival attracts."
The festival usually attracts between 160,000 to 200,000 people.
It outgrew long-time venue Albert Park in 2015, it was then held at Auckland Domain.
The 2020 Domain event and the 2021 and 2022 festivals which were set to take place at the Ports of Auckland and Auckland Showgrounds respectively were cancelled due to pandemic restrictions.
The festival typically marks the end of the 15-day Chinese New Year festivities, and will be held from February 2 to 5, featuring hand-made Chinese lanterns displayed in park-like settings, along with cultural music and dance performances, craft demonstrations, competitions, retail and food stalls.
Chris Simpson, Auckland Unlimited's head of major events said the organisation had considered a range of venues for next year's festival and discussed with key partners before deciding on Manukau Sports Bowl.
Simpson said the move also has the support of Chinese community leaders who have a long association with the festival, the Asia NZ Foundation and the Otara-Papatoetoe Local Board.
"While we delivered successful online celebrations to replace the past two cancelled events, we can't wait for Aucklanders to again experience the unique sights, sounds and aromas of an in-person Lantern Festival," Simpson said.

Advertise with NZME."Manukau Sports Bowl has great outdoor spaces which are ideal for housing a large festival and it is close to both the Southern Motorway and public transport hubs, with ample parking. We're excited about an opportunity to take the festival to a new area of the city."
The event will be taking place in the four days leading up to Waitangi Day and this provides a great opportunity for all to enjoy the region's rich Chinese and Māori cultural heritage across the same long weekend, Simpson added.
The festival will for the first time also come under the direction of new festival producer Jep Savali, who recently joined Auckland Unlimited from SkyCity Auckland.
Savali said he is relishing the opportunity to curate the festival's fresh start, and that it was an honour for him to be the new producer for this "culturally significant festival".
"It's important to me that I honour the core values of this much-loved cultural festival and bring to life some new and exciting initiatives, while recognising the proud history of our region's Chinese community," Savali said.
"And, of course, our fundamental objective is to ensure we make the most of a great new venue so that Aucklanders and visitors alike have a great festival experience."

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Association of Corporate Directors® (NACD®), the authority on boardroom practices representing more than 23,000 board members, announces that NACD Directorship Certification® has reached the milestone of 1,000 certified directors.
NACD Directorship Certification is the premier board member certification in the United States and was launched in 2020 as part of the NACD Corporate Directors Institute®. As the nation's premier director accreditation, it sets a new standard for director education and includes an ongoing education requirement that prepares directors for an ever-changing array of boardroom challenges.
In recognition of the milestone of 1,000 certified directors, NACD board members, leaders, and certified directors will gather this week in Times Square to ring the Nasdaq Stock Market Closing Bell on August 25. Tune in on August 25 at 3:50 PM EST to watch the live stream of the bell ringing ceremony here.
NACD members who have achieved certification serve on boards across the public, private, and nonprofit sectors of the economy. They represent leading boards such as Advanced Micro Devices, Cigna, Foot Locker, Morgan Stanley, and Nasdaq Inc. and nonprofits that include the American Heart Association, the American Cancer Society, and AARP, to name but a few.
The 1,000th certified director, Philip D. Amoa, managing partner of the Philadelphia Office of McCarter & English LLP and board member of the NACD Philadelphia Chapter, shared how the certification program has helped him:
"All corporate directors need continuing education to provide effective board leadership. NACD's Directorship Certification is the benchmark for corporate governance and a great tool for director development. Certification has helped me increase my value in the boardroom, including through strengthening investor trust and keeping me updated on the emerging issues and trends impacting the companies I serve," said Amoa.
"NACD is thrilled to celebrate this first group of 1,000 leaders who have taken action to better prepare themselves for board director roles, and we look forward to seeing the certification program continue to elevate both experienced and newer directors," said NACD president and CEO Peter Gleason. "NACD has defined the standard for director education in response to the convergence of a fast-moving, dynamic business environment with changing expectations for the board's role. As the scope and pace of change in demands continue to grow, it is more important than ever that directors are prepared and continually educating themselves on issues and trends. The certification program is all about enabling directors to lead with the highest standards of governance."
Individuals that have achieved NACD Directorship Certification have demonstrated their knowledge and competency in directorship through coursework and a rigorous certification exam. The NACD Directorship Certification requires recertification every two years through 32 hours of continuous learning at recognized programs.

Indian commercial vehicle industry will record robust sales growth of 12-15 percent in fiscal 2022-23, credit rating and investment information services agency, ICRA said in a report on Tuesday, August 23.
It said that commercial vehicle industry has registered a healthy growth of 112 percent in first quarter of 2022-23, although on a low base is expected to continue its growth trajectory, given the improvement in the macroeconomic environment, replacement cycle and healthy demand from the end-user industries.
Furthermore, the growth trends have continued into the current quarter also, with combined commercial vehicle volumes growing by around 87 percent in the first four months of 2022-23, compared to the year-ago period, ICRA report said.
However headwinds such as hardening of interest rates, elevated fuel prices, increasing vehicle prices to pass on the increase in commodity prices and geopolitical issues may constrain the pace of recovery, ICRA said.
It said that the upswing in the e-commerce sector since the pandemic, and the resultant change in purchasing habits resulted in increased last-mile transport requirements, thus spurring demand for smaller trucks.
Accordingly, the segment’s quarterly volumes averaged at more than 125,000 units over, higher than the 2017-18 levels and trending towards the industry highs reported in 2018-19. | https://www.steelorbis.com/steel-news/latest-news/icra-indian-commercial-vehicle-growth-to-rise-12-15-in-fy-2022-23-1257169.htm | 2022-08-23T17:35:48Z | https://www.steelorbis.com/steel-news/latest-news/icra-indian-commercial-vehicle-growth-to-rise-12-15-in-fy-2022-23-1257169.htm | false | 1 |
