DETROIT (AP) — U.S. securities regulators are questioning Twitter about the way it determines how many fake accounts are on its platform.
The Securities and Exchange Commission in June asked the company about its methodology for calculating false or spam accounts and “the underlying judgments and assumptions used by management.”
Twitter says it has 238 million active monthly users, and that about 5% of the accounts it sells ads against are fake, either spam or bots. The SEC would be interested in both figures because Twitter uses them to attract advertisers, whose payments make up a little more than 90% of the company’s revenue.
The SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance asked the questions in a June 15 letter, shortly before Tesla CEO Elon Musk raised the issue as grounds to back out of a deal to buy Twitter for $44 billion. Musk has claimed that Twitter is undercounting the number of fake accounts, which inflates the number of real users.
Such questions can be routine, and it wasn’t clear whether the SEC has opened a formal investigation into Twitter’s fake accounts. Neither the SEC nor Twitter would comment Wednesday.
The law firm Wilson Sonsini of Palo Alto, California, replied to the SEC in a June 22 letter saying the company believes it adequately disclosed the methodology in its annual report filed for 2021.
The letter says that Twitter makes its estimates of false accounts with an internal review of sample accounts. The number of fake accounts “represent the average false or spam accounts in the samples during each monthly analysis period during a quarter,” the letter said.
It added that fewer than 5% of Twitter’s “monetizable” daily active users were fake accounts in the fourth quarter of last year, the period that the SEC had questioned.
The letter was disclosed in a filing posted by the SEC on Wednesday, a day after Twitter’s former head of security alleged that the company misled regulators about its poor cybersecurity defenses and its negligence in attempting to root out fake accounts that spread disinformation.
Peiter Zatko, who served as Twitter’s security chief until he was fired early this year, filed the whistleblower complaints last month with the SEC, the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice. The legal nonprofit Whistleblower Aid, which is working with Zatko, said he exhausted all attempts to get his concerns resolved inside the company before his firing in January.
Among Zatko’s most serious accusations is that Twitter violated the terms of a 2011 FTC settlement by falsely claiming that it had put stronger measures in place to protect the security and privacy of its users. Zatko also accuses the company of deceptions involving its handling of “spam” or fake accounts.
As lawmakers stepped up calls for investigations into Zatko’s allegations, the Senate Judiciary Committee announced Wednesday that Zatko will testify at a hearing on Sept. 13 — the same day Twitter’s shareholders are scheduled to vote on the company’s pending buyout by Musk. The Twitter board is recommending approval of the buyout.
A trial on Twitter’s lawsuit is scheduled for October.
Twitter said Tuesday that Zatko was fired for “ineffective leadership and poor performance” and said the “allegations and opportunistic timing appear designed to capture attention and inflict harm on Twitter, its customers and its shareholders.” The company called his complaint “a false narrative” that is “riddled with inconsistencies and inaccuracies and lacks important context.”
Musk called off the sale in July, alleging that Twitter had failed to provide detailed methodology for calculating fake accounts. Twitter sued in Delaware Chancery Court, asking a judge to order Musk to go through with the purchase, and Musk counter-sued.
Musk agreed in April to buy Twitter and take it private, offering $54.20 per share and vowing to loosen the company’s policing of content and to root out fake accounts. As part of the deal, Musk and Twitter had agreed to pay the other a $1 billion breakup fee if either was responsible for the deal collapsing.
In its response to the SEC, Twitter said the review of fake accounts is done manually by humans who check thousands of them. The accounts are chosen randomly, and the employees use a complex set of rules “that define spam and platform manipulation.” An account is deemed to be false if it violates one or more of the rules, the letter said. The fake accounts are investigated by multiple trained employees, it said.
The SEC also questioned Twitter’s disclosure that it overestimated the number of monetizable accounts from the first quarter of 2019 through the end of last year. The agency wrote that the error persisted for three years and asked why the company didn’t consider that a weakness in its financial reporting and controls.
In response, Twitter said the overstatement of accounts had no impact on its financial statements, and that the overstatement was less than 1% of its daily average users.
Twitter’s share price was up just over 2% in trading late Wednesday. | https://www.everythinglubbock.com/news/technology-tuesday/ap-technology/sec-questions-twitter-on-method-of-calculating-fake-accounts/ | 2022-08-25T00:39:11Z | https://www.everythinglubbock.com/news/technology-tuesday/ap-technology/sec-questions-twitter-on-method-of-calculating-fake-accounts/ | false | 36 |
Game is developed by Funcom, responsible for Conan Exiles
Funcom revealed during Gamescom 2022 the first trailer for Dune: Awakening, a game set in the Dune universe, created by science fiction writer Frank Herbert. According to the developer, Dune: Awakening is a survival MMO that will put hundreds of players to face the dangers of the planet Arrakis.
The CGI trailer does not provide information on gameplay mechanics, platforms, or the release date. In the video we follow a character, which is possibly Paul Atreides’ version of the game, citing the classic monologue “fear is the mindkiller” (fear is the mind killer, in the official Portuguese translation). In the distance we see a sandstorm approaching and one of the sandworms destroying spice harvesting machines.
Dune: Awakening will be a survival MMO
Funcom, responsible for the creation of Conan Exiles, revealed in 2019 that it was developing a game about the sci-fi universe Dune. She informed that Dune: Awakening will place hundreds of players simultaneously on a shared version of Arrakis. Players will need to build shelters, bases, and factions. The planet can be explored using vehicles to find treasures, face storms and sandworms.
Different factions will vie for control over spices, similar to what happens in the books. Players will need to be concerned about enemy factions as well as the natural hazards that the planet of Arrakis offers. Dune: Awakening was revealed during Opening Night Live at Gamescom 2022. During the presentation, several other games such as the sequel to Lords of the Fallen and new trailers for Lies of P and The Callisto Protocol were revealed.
Dune: Awakening does not yet have a confirmed release date and it has not yet been announced which platforms the game will be released for. The company has released the game’s official website, where it is possible to register to participate in the Beta that will be announced soon.

EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — Rushdi Food Industries is voluntarily recalling its Mighty Sesame Organic Tahini because it may be contaminated with salmonella, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The FDA said the recalled tahini was sold at Walmart stores nationwide, as well as other retailers in Connecticut, New York and New Jersey, during the first two weeks of May.
“Based off of sales velocity, there is an extremely low chance that any of the affected product would still be available for retail,” the FDA said.
The recalled tahini was sold in squeezable 10.9-ounce containers with an expiration date of 3/28/23. The FDA said only one lot of the tahini is being recalled at this time.
The potential contamination was discovered when the company received word from the FDA of the potential presence of salmonella in this specific lot.
The company hasn’t received any reports of illness in connection with the recall.
Anyone who purchased the recalled tahini is urge not to eat it and to instead throw it away or return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Those who eat food contaminated with salmonella can experience diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Salmonella can cause severe illness that may require hospitalization. | https://www.wpri.com/recalls-and-warnings/tahini-recalled-due-to-possible-salmonella-risk-2/ | 2022-08-25T00:43:55Z | https://www.wpri.com/recalls-and-warnings/tahini-recalled-due-to-possible-salmonella-risk-2/ | true | 1 |

Senior US and EU officials will visit Kosovo and Serbia in the coming days in a diplomatic offensive following the failed meeting in Brussels between the two countries’ leaders.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic met Kosovo’s Prime Minister Albin Kurti on August 18 in Brussels, but the meeting convened following increased tension in northern Kosovo ended without agreement. Tensions were sparked by Pristina’s decision not to recognise Serbian ID documents and car number plates. Kosovo declared independence from Serbia in 2008, but is not recognised by Belgrade as a separate state.
Kosovo’s Telegrafi reported that US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Europe and Eurasia Gabriel Escobar will visit the two capitals this week.
"Escobar is traveling to Pristina and Belgrade to support the dialogue," a spokesperson from the State Department told the Telegrafi.
In Pristina, Escobar will meet Kosovo’s President Vjosa Osmani and government officials.
EU envoy for Serbia and Kosovo, Miroslav Lajcak, will visit Kosovo on August 24, Telegrafi said citing sources within the EU.
According to Serbian agency Tanjug, Lajcak will be in Belgrade on August 25.
The two delegates from the US and the EU will also meet representatives of political parties.
EU High Representative Josep Borrell said following the latest Brussels talks that the efforts will continue and the two sides should find a solution by September 1.
“The international community does not want to see renewed tensions in the coming period, and the parties will be fully responsible for any escalation on the ground,” the high representative said. | https://bne.eu/us-eu-officials-launch-diplomatic-offensive-after-failed-serbia-kosovo-meeting-in-brussels-254251/ | 2022-08-25T00:46:11Z | https://bne.eu/us-eu-officials-launch-diplomatic-offensive-after-failed-serbia-kosovo-meeting-in-brussels-254251/ | false | 4 |
Man, I’ll tell you what … Kosmo is NOT a morning person.
As the years roll on, it takes more and more to wake Kosmo up.
This year, the snooze button on Kosmo’s alarm clock got a workout, as he kept pushing it over and over again, putting off the exit from his offseason hibernation. (And, boy do the bears in Kosmo’s cave ever get annoyed at the echoes from that alarm!)
Seems like there’s less and less reason to get up early any more. The market for all-knowing seers just isn’t what it used to be, back in the day.
But, Kosmo is up … finally. (Yawning and stretching, but up.)
And just in time for another season.
While Kosmo hasn’t made any new entries on his resume in … oh, well, about 100 years, it seems like … there are 50-odd Oakland County football teams itching to get started on a new entry on their resumes, adding a new line of tradition to their yearly run-downs.
If Kosmo can get this hibernating bear off his laptop, we’ll get started with this year’s picks:
Thursday, Aug. 25
Ortonville Brandon at Bay City Central — While Kosmo doesn’t know much about Bay City, his spies tell him that it’s only a two-mile drive from the nearest A&W to Central’s Elmer Engel Stadium, which should make the Blackhawks feel right at home. (That, and the fact that they dropped a 60-spot on the Wolves a year ago.) Kosmo says: Brandon.
Milan at Berkley — Kosmo knows these two teams have never played, so he probably knows as much about Milan as the Bears do (or less). But his spies tell him that Big Reds have won eight or more games in eight of the last 10 seasons, which is pretty good. However, the Bears have David Rolands, who is very good, so call it a push. Kosmo says: Berkley.
North Farmington at Birmingham Groves — The 2021 season couldn’t end fast enough for either of these teams, and it’s not the same Raiders team that dropped 49 points on the Falcons in Week 3 last year. Still, if Tommy Balazovic can distribute the ball for North, the Raiders should be all right. Kosmo says: North Farmington.
Birmingham Seaholm at Bloomfield Hills — The Maples should benefit from dropping down to the OAA Blue, and the Black Hawks will be challenged by the jump to the White, but this crossover game may be decided in the trenches, where both teams are veteran. Kosmo sees Colton Kinnie making one more play than CJ Jackson. Kosmo says: Seaholm.
Macomb Dakota vs. Birmingham Brother Rice, 4 p.m. (Prep Kickoff Classic) — Macomb Dakota knows what it’s like to have a home-run back like Rice’s Nolan Ray, and they also know how hard it is to stop one. With Ray running behind one of the best lines in the county, on the turf at Wayne State, Kosmo won’t be shocked if Ray repeats last year’s three-TD performance against the Cougars. Kosmo says: Brother Rice.
Montrose at Clarkston Everest Collegiate — Kosmo isn’t sure what they have in the water in Montrose that helps produce football players, but it’s good stuff, apparently. Everest has one of the deepest teams its had in a while, but the loss of last year’s big group of playmakers might cost them against another of the state’s small-school powerhouses. Kosmo says: Montrose.
Clarkston vs. Davison (Battle at the Big House) — These teams aren’t the same ones that met a year ago at the Big House, and Kosmo’s old pal KR has handed off the big headset to assistant Justin Pintar, but Kosmo thinks that Ethan Clark can duplicate his second half from last year’s game against the Cardinals, when he ran for 100 yards in the fourth quarter alone. Kosmo says: Clarkston.
Clinton Twp. Chippewa Valley at Detroit Catholic Central — Kosmo isn’t sure what CC’s record is at The Elm, but figures it’s pretty good. Still, Chippewa Valley’s got a lot of playmakers on offense — like they did in last year’s 45-20 win over CC — going up against Brayden Courser, Baechler Houser and Co. on defense, and CC may have to try to play keep-away. Kosmo says: Chippewa Valley
Detroit Country Day at Detroit Loyola — Kosmo’s old pal Dan MacLean knows that when you have a horse like Gabe Winowich, you ride him. Unless Loyola can stop him, it may end up like last year’s meeting, a 27-14 DCDS win. Kosmo says: Country Day.
Stoney Creek at Detroit Mumford — Kosmo expects Nick Merlo’s ground-and-pound philosophy is gonna get a workout in Week 1, so the Mustangs had better armor themselves up, too, or Jon Fogler’s gonna run all over them. Kosmo says: Stoney Creek
Ypsilanti Lincoln at Farmington — Kosmo doesn’t know that much about Lincoln — didn’t some Bates guy go there? — but his spies tell him the Railsplitters did OK in the SEC Red last year. Dom Pesci and Co. should be able to move the ball against Lincoln, though. Kosmo says: Farmington.
Troy Athens at Fraser — Kosmo’s knowledge about football programs weirdly ends right at the Macomb County line, but his spies tell him that Fraser held its own in the MAC Blue last year, just like Athens did in the OAA Blue. If the RedHawks can get the ball to their playmaker, Kyree Harper, it could be a good day for the OAA vs. MAC. Kosmo says: Troy Athens.
Ferndale at Harrison Twp. L’Anse Creuse — Kosmo’s spies tell him that L’Anse Creuse also held its own in the MAC Blue, but Ferndale’s Eric Royal expects the Eagles to bounce back from last year’s wake-up call of a 1-8 season. And Kosmo knows all about wake-up calls. Kosmo says: Ferndale.
Imlay City at Hazel Park — Kosmo has always heard good things about new Vikings coach John Callahan from his CHSL spies, and figures he’ll have a way to turn around things in Hazel Park. Week 1 is as good a place to start as any. Kosmo says: Hazel Park.
Royal Oak at Holly — In a match-up of two first-year coaches taking over two-win teams, you take the team that has Mekhi Jenkins. That would be the Ravens. Kosmo says: Royal Oak.
Troy at Macomb L’Anse Creuse North — Troy is coming off an 8-2 season, while LCN had an 0-9 campaign where the Crusaders got outscored 315-45. Also, Troy has Darius Whiteside, and LCN does not. Kosmo says: Troy
Sterling Heights at Madison Heights Lamphere — Lamphere opened up last season with a 22-8 win over the Stallions, before rolling to the MAC Bronze title. Time to see if Benny Hernandez is made of the same stuff as older brother Nico. Kosmo’s spies say he is. Kosmo says: Lamphere.
Eastpointe at Madison Heights Madison — Eastpointe has never beaten Madison in eight tries. Regardless of last year’s struggles, Kosmo is a big believer in tradition. Kosmo says: Madison
Milford at New Boston Huron — Last year’s 21-20 win over Huron was the start of something good for the Mavericks. Could be the same this year for new head coach Andrew Micovich. Kosmo’s spies told him to expect a lot of carries for Danny Sternberg. Kosmo says: Milford.
Detroit U-D Jesuit at Oak Park — Neither of these teams had the season Kosmo expected last year, but it’s a new year, right? Oak Park has bounced back from slow starts, but Kosmo thinks that Greg Carter would rather not do it again this year. Kosmo says: Oak Park
Madison Heights Bishop Foley at Pontiac — Kosmo’s been to Wisner a BILLION times over the years, but a new stadium on-campus is exciting for the Phoenix and coach Ken Wade, who believes — like Kosmo does — that the 33-game losing streak is gonna end soon. Foley’s Jackson Zeiter and company are just going to make sure it’s not this week. Kosmo says: Bishop Foley.
Utica at Rochester — Why is it that it seems like Alex Bueno’s been around as long as Kosmo? Anyway, these two teams haven’t met since 2013 — Kosmo is pretty sure that’s before Bueno’s time — so there’s not a ton of familiarity. Again, Kosmo likes tradition, and Rochester holds a 16-8 advantage all-time. Kosmo says: Rochester.
Orchard Lake St. Mary’s at Rochester Adams — The Jermaine Gonzales era leading the O-Lake boys begins with a tall task, taking on the defending D1 runner-up in Adams. The Five P’s — Tony Patritto, Nick Paterra, Parker Picot, Tait Picot and Brady Prieskorn — are too much for OLSM. Kosmo says: Rochester Adams
Oxford at Romeo — These two teams have been the Week 1 match-up forever it seems like, but you know emotions will be running high on that Oxford bus this time, headed the 13 miles along Lakeville and 32 Mile Roads. It’ll be about more than football, as Zach Line’s crew will be playing for the memory of Tate Myre. Kosmo says: Oxford.
Rochester Hills Lutheran Northwest at Saginaw Valley Lutheran — Valley Lutheran mustered just 17 points last year. No, not in the matchup with Lutheran Northwest in Week 1 … ALL YEAR. Hard to pick against the Crusaders in this one, even if it is on the road. Kosmo says: Lutheran Northwest.
Walled Lake Western at South Lyon — Kosmo doesn’t now much (SHHH!!!) but he does know that the Lakes Valley Conference title probably goes through the winner of this game. Like last year’s game — which featured a pair of 99-yard kickoff returns for TDs — it’s probably gonna come down to who makes the biggest plays, and Western’s got the biggest playmaker in Darius Taylor. Kosmo says: Walled Lake Western.
West Bloomfield at Sterling Heights Stevenson (Prep Kickoff Classic) — It’s probably not fair for Kosmo to base his pick on the only time these teams have met — a 63-6 district finals win by the Lakers en route to their 2020 state title — because that team did that kind of thing to a lot of folks. Then again, this year’s edition of the ‘L-Boys’ has a ton of play-makers, too … Kosmo says: West Bloomfield.
Lake Orion at Utica Eisenhower — Chris Bell’s probably getting flashbacks of all the times his teams played one-score classics against Ike in the playoffs. Kosmo is, too. But this one will be decided by the Jimmys and Joes — or, in this case, the Billys (Roberson) and Dorians (Hill). Kosmo says: Lake Orion.
South Lyon East at Walled Lake Northern — The Knights might still be miffed that they missed the playoffs at 4-5, when East made it at 3-6, especially since they won the head-to-head in Week 1 a year ago, 14-13. But this year’s result is probably going to be more about the fact that the Knights finished strong a year ago, regardless. Kosmo says: Walled Lake Northern.
Auburn Hills Avondale at Warren Cousino — The Yellow Jackets are excited to get to play for a league title this year. This week’s game won’t help for that, but it should help in the MAC-OAA bragging rights game, especially since Cousino was winless a year ago. Kosmo says: Avondale
Lakeland at Waterford Kettering — When you’ve got two teams this young, anything can happen. And Kettering does have a big-time playmaker in Zarek Zelinski. But Kosmo is a big believer in tradition, and Kettering hasn’t beaten Lakeland since 2016, so … Kosmo says: Lakeland.
Walled Lake Central at Waterford Mott — Central’s 26-game losing skid is probably going to end sometime this season, but the reason it won’t be Week 1 is spelled K-A-L-I-E-B followed by O-S-B-O-R-N-E. Kosmo says: Waterford Mott.
Friday, Aug. 26
Perry at Clawson — Kosmo thinks ‘The Ramblers’ is a cool mascot. But that’s about all Perry’s got going for it, football-wise, says Kosmo’s spies. Kosmo says: Clawson
Pontiac Notre Dame Prep at Clinton — If you think of Clinton as a football machine, ripping off eight-win seasons (eight of the last 10), and playoff berths (10 straight), that’s probably not far off. The Fighting Irish have a ton of speed on offense, though, so this one could be a barn-burner. Kosmo says: Notre Dame Prep
Arts & Tech Academy of Pontiac at Detroit Old Redford — Kosmo wants to introduce you to the phrase “tabula rasa.” (What? The bears speak Latin to Kosmo in the winter sometimes. I think.) “Blank slate” is perfect for this game. ATA of Pontiac is in Year 2 of its program. Old Redford hasn’t had a team in two years. What does that mean? No idea, actually. Kosmo says: ATA
Belleville vs. Novi (Prep Kickoff Classic) — If Novi’s got a bevy of playmakers on offense, Belleville has two bevies (Is that a word?). Maybe three. The Wildcats should be good this year, but Belleville should be great. Kosmo says: Belleville.
Grass Lake at Royal Oak Shrine — The Grass Lake Warriors are probably itching to bounce back from last year’s two-win season, and Oscar Olejniczak and the Shrine crew are working in a bunch of new faces. Still, Shrine’s got enough to pull this one out. Kosmo says: Royal Oak Shrine.
Detroit Cass Tech at Southfield A&T — Kosmo’s spies have been raving about the potential of A&T’s passing game, with Zeke Marshall, and all those wideouts, and that could be enough to pull off an upset. But the Cass Tech secondary is always hard to pass against, and A&T’s still gotta prove it can. Kosmo says: Cass Tech
Detroit Lincoln King Academy at Southfield Bradford — What Kosmo said for ATA of Pontiac vs. Detroit Old Redford applies here, too. Bradford had to forfeit all of its games last season, after going 0-7 in 2020, and Detroit Lincoln King is a brand-new program. Kosmo says: Bradford. | https://www.theoaklandpress.com/2022/08/24/kosmo-awakens-from-offseason-hibernation-to-dish-out-picks-for-week-1-of-the-2022-prep-football-season/ | 2022-08-25T00:54:57Z | https://www.theoaklandpress.com/2022/08/24/kosmo-awakens-from-offseason-hibernation-to-dish-out-picks-for-week-1-of-the-2022-prep-football-season/ | false | 2 |

The Cumberland Valley School Board authorized a resolution implementing a state-required list of temporary provisions applicable to certain district emergencies in 2022-23, a measure that several residents this week said they opposed.
Monday night’s action establishes “temporary emergency provisions with respect to student attendance and length of time of daily instruction” as determined necessary by district officials for the upcoming school year, according to a printout attached to the board’s Aug. 22 meeting agenda posted the district’s webiste www.cvschools.org. A sample instructional schedule for the approved plan is listed in the meeting’s agenda.
Superintendent David Christopher said Monday that the state Department of Education has required Pennsylvania school districts to implement emergency provisions plans each school year since 2020’s pandemic shutdown.
Accordingly, CV’s 2022-23 resolution notes that the PDE “has determined that the COVID-19 pandemic constitutes an ‘emergency’…” Likewise, the document further states, “the (Cumberland Valley) Board of School Directors has determined that COVID-19 constitutes a risk to the health and safety of our students, faculty, and community, and therefore it is necessary to implement temporary emergency provisions as authorized … of (Pennsylvania) Public School Code.”
In addition, Christopher said that the district’s provisional plan for this year also applies to “non-COVID related” emergencies like severe weather events or utility outages.
“It’s for any reason that we would need not to have school. Hopefully, we won’t need to use it,” he said.
Residents who spoke during the public comment sessions at Monday night’s meeting voiced skepticism about the plan’s intentions. Andrew Clancy of Monroe Township said approving the resolution meant that school board members were “declaring that COVID-19 is an emergency. If so, you all should be wearing masks.”
“It’s not an emergency,” Clancy continued. “This is specifically for COVID. If this resolution is passed, Dr. Christopher said he could declare an emergency and go to remote (instruction). I don’t know if anyone of you are qualified to declare an emergency (for the district).”
Resident Jason Snyder alleged the action as “more lying” by the district.
“If you give (Christopher) permission to (declare an emergency), he will get the (COVID case) numbers. He will make them up just like last year. There were no numbers (then). Do not pass this so that he can do this,” Snyder told school directors Monday.
The school board approved the plan resolution in a 7-1 vote. Jessica Silcox voted against the plan without commenting. Jevon Ford didn’t attend Monday’s meeting.
“The emergency provisions will allow us not to lose (state) subsidy funding if we have to close schools and not meet (the state’s) educational hour requirements,” Christopher said.
He also announced that the district “isn’t planning on tracking COVID this year” and will no longer post an online dashboard listing current case numbers in the district.
Other News
In other news, the Cumberland Valley School Board granted permission for the district to participate in the Next Education Workforce with the Mary Lou Fulton Teacher’s College at Arizona State University at a cost of $2,000. The program “explores alternative staffing models” used to address “the nationwide teacher shortage and teacher burnout.”
Also, ongoing building work is “wrapping up” at Middlesex Elementary School in time, with “air conditioning and all the amenities that students require” when district schools reopen Aug. 31, Christopher reported Monday
The school board also approved the district’s 2022-23 transportation routes. This year, the district contracted several additional transportation firms to shorten students’ length and better transport special education pupils in outlying areas. Contractors this year include Kauffman Bus, Miller & Sons, Rohrer Bus, B&S Transportation, Faithful Transportation, and Assist Services.

“Leaving Big Spring was one of the hardest decisions I ever had to make,” August said. “It’s a great place. There are just so many people that I loved working with."
“We have jumped from 55 [ELL] students at the beginning of summer to 82 students,” Superintendent James Estep told board members Monday. “That number is expected to climb substantially further." | https://cumberlink.com/news/local/education/cumberland-valley-school-board-approves-emergency-provisions-plan-for-2022-23-school-year/article_688ba698-23fb-11ed-a9e2-0b601319403e.html | 2022-08-25T01:07:01Z | https://cumberlink.com/news/local/education/cumberland-valley-school-board-approves-emergency-provisions-plan-for-2022-23-school-year/article_688ba698-23fb-11ed-a9e2-0b601319403e.html | false | 1 |

Juveniles arrested, investigation ongoing in Richmond school break-ins
on August 18, 2022
Police have arrested four juveniles and are looking for others who they say are connected to break-ins at five West Contra Costa Unified School District buildings last month, smashing windows and electronics and ransacking classrooms.
The juveniles who were arrested late in July and early this month ranged in age from 12 to 16 years old, said Sgt. Aaron Pomeroy of the Richmond Police Department. He said police are still gathering evidence and working to identify other suspects.
Richmond Police Lt. Matt Stonebraker said investigators believe eight to 10 juveniles, possibly traveling on bikes, broke windows or pried open rear doors to get into four district schools and a charter school.
Surveillance cameras were either only in one room, focused on one entrance or not set up to record, WCCUSD spokesman Ryan Phillips said. And one of the schools, Highland Elementary, has no surveillance cameras.
Alarms sounded in every school, Phillips said. “But there were some issues with the private security company not properly following up on that,” he added.
WCCUSD uses Silicon Valley Security and Patrol Inc. to monitor the buildings.
When three of the schools were broken into over the weekend of July 9 and 10, Richmond police were not informed until Monday, Stonebraker said, adding that they were notified by a WCCUSD staff member, not by the security firm. That delayed the police response.
According to Phillips, the district pays Silicon Valley Security $335,000 a year for two guards on night shifts Monday through Friday and for 24-hour shifts on weekends and holidays.
Silicon Valley Security did not respond to Richmond Confidential’s requests for comment.
Along with Highland, Greenwood Academy, Nystrom Elementary, Lincoln Elementary, and Bayview Elementary were hit between July 2 and July 16, as well as Richmond Charter Academy. All are in Richmond, except for Bayview, which is in San Pablo.
Lincoln — which has a camera that does not record and is only at the front door — was hit the hardest. With school out during the summer, a lot of school supplies that normally are in locked classrooms were instead in hallways, to make it easier for custodians to wax classroom floors. Vandals got into those supplies, littering rooms and halls with paper, pencils, crayons and other debris. Among the supplies were metal baseball bats that were used to break windows and laptops, Phillips said.
The district is still tallying the cost of all the damage.
“It is unconscionable that anyone would want to intentionally do so much damage to a place that serves as a safe haven and place to learn for so many young people,” Superintendent Chris Hurst said in a post on the district website.
Stonebraker said some electronics were stolen, but police were still determining the value of those items.
Stonebraker said the lack of camera coverage has complicated the investigation. Cameras did capture images of suspects. But Stonebraker said because they are minors, police are not releasing the photos, or any names, to the public.
The community came together to clean up Lincoln Elementary and support the affected teachers. Phillips said Chevron partnered with teachers to clean up some of the damage.
Other Bay Area teachers reached out to offer their extra supplies. The Chamberlin Education Foundation, which was set up to support WCCUSD schools, donated money to affected teachers. And the West Contra Costa Public Education Fund launched a GoFundMe campaign to support Lincoln teachers.
“We’re super appreciative,” Phillips said. “Very appreciative of all of our hardworking staff for all the work that they did to try to get the school cleaned up.”
West Contra Costa students returned to school on Aug. 16.
Police are asking anyone with information about the crimes to call the department at 510-233-1214.

By ANDREW DALTON
LOS ANGELES — A federal jury found Wednesday that Los Angeles County must pay Kobe Bryant’s widow $16 million for emotional distress caused by deputies and firefighters sharing photos of the bodies of the NBA star and his daughter taken at the site of the 2020 helicopter crash that killed them. Another $15 million was awarded to a man who lost his wife and daughter from Orange County in the crash.
The nine jurors who returned the unanimous verdict agreed with Vanessa Bryant and her attorneys that the photos of the remains of Kobe Bryant and their 13-year-old daughter Gianna invaded her privacy and brought her emotional distress.
The jury deliberated for 4 1/2 hours before reaching the verdict. Vanessa Bryant cried quietly as it was read.
An attorney for the county declined comment on the verdict outside the courtroom.
The pictures were shared mostly between employees of the LA County sheriff’s and fire departments including by some who were playing video games and attending an awards banquet. They were also seen by some of their spouses and in one case by a bartender at a bar where a deputy was drinking.
Vanessa Bryant tearfully testified during the 11-day trial that news of the photos compounded her still-raw grief a month after losing her husband and daughter, and that she still has panic attacks at the thought that they might still be out there.
“I live in fear every day of being on social media and these popping up,” she testified. “I live in fear of my daughters being on social media and these popping up.”
Her co-plaintiff Chris Chester, whose wife Sarah and daughter Payton were also among the nine people killed in the crash, was awarded $15 million.
Vanessa Bryant’s attorneys did not give jurors a dollar amount they thought their client deserved, but Chester’s attorney gave them suggested guidelines that would have meant tens of millions for each plaintiff.
Vanessa Bryant’s lawyer Luis Li told jurors that the close-up photos had no official or investigative purpose, and were mere “visual gossip” shared out of a gruesome curiosity.
County attorney J. Mira Hashmall argued during the trial that the photos were a necessary tool for assessing the situation.
She acknowledged that they should not have been shared with everyone who saw them. But she emphasized that the photos had never appeared publicly, and had never even been seen by the plaintiffs. She said that meant that Sheriff Alex Villanueva and other officials had taken decisive and effective action when they ordered those who had the photos to delete them.
Kobe Bryant, the former Lakers star, five-time NBA champion and member of the Basketball Hall of Fame, was traveling with Gianna and seven others to a youth basketball game when the helicopter they were aboard crashed into hills in Calabasas west of Los Angeles on Jan. 26, 2020.
Federal safety officials blamed pilot error for the crash.
The jury returned its verdict on Kobe Bryant Day, which is celebrated on Aug. 24 because it uses both of his jersey numbers — 8 and 24 — and is the day after his birthday. Tuesday would have been Kobe’s 44th birthday.

Share Facebook Twitter Linkedin Reddit Premium Content Why Goldman Sachs Is Wrong About Lithium Prices By Alex Kimani – Aug 24, 2022, 7:00 PM CDT Lithium has been one of the best performing commodities of 2022. Lithium prices have fallen somewhat from their recent highs, but markets remain extremely tight. Goldman Sachs’ call for an oversupplied lithium market could turn out to be wrong as we move towards 2023. Join Our Community Over the past 16 months we have witnessed a gravity-defying lithium price rally that has seen lithium prices rocket more than 500% amid supply chain bottlenecks and robust demand for electric vehicles. To be fair, it’s not just lithium but commodity markets have been taking out fresh highs after the shuttering of Ukrainian ports, sanctions against Russia, and disruption in Libyan oil production sent energy, crop, and metal buyers scrambling for replacement supplies Simultaneously, we’re watching the next commodity supercycle unfold as a result of the energy transition, which in turn means massive opportunities for a lot of investors in this space–particularly those honing in on technology manufacturers. Clean energy technologies require more metals than their fossil fuel-based counterparts, with prices of green metals projected to reach historical peaks for an unprecedented, sustained period in a net-zero emissions scenario.
However, few, if any, commodities have witnessed a price explosion as epic as lithium’s. So much so that bears like Goldman Sachs have crawled out of their caves and are telling the lithium bulls to slow down their roll: according to GS, the lithium bull run is about to reverse and go through into deep correction thanks to an oversupply of the commodity.
In a research note entitled » Battery Metals Watch: The End of the beginning,» GS says there’s been «a surge in investor capital into supply investment tied to the long term electric vehicle (EV) demand story, essentially trading a spot driven commodity as a forward-looking equity. That fundamental mispricing has in turn generated an outsized supply response well ahead of the demand trend.»
Peering at near-term historical price charts suggests that the bears could be right. Battery-grade lithium prices have eased a bit in the past weeks despite ongoing supply shortage and robust global electric vehicle sales. Lithium carbonate prices in China are hovering around 475,000 yuan/tonne, 400% higher year-on-year but quite a drop from the March record-high of 500,000. lithium hydroxide (a minimum of 56.5% LiOH2O battery grade) is changing hands at $75,000 per tonne compared to $81,500 per tonne two months earlier.

Despite the lithium rally losing some momentum, there are several solid reasons why it still could have legs to run.
No Major Production Ramps
A major supply squeeze is one of the biggest reasons why lithium prices have shot up over the past year or so. Goldman Sachs has argued that the most «significant» new lithium supply will come from China, where companies have invested in new hard rock and brine projects. However, Benchmark Mineral Intelligence has countered this view by pointing out that known domestic Chinese spodumene and other hard rock resources are of low quality, which is the main reason why Chinese converters are increasingly turning to Australia for supply instead.
BMI says Chinese brine resources are also low quality and have always struggled to produce sufficient battery-grade quality lithium. For instance, production of lithium from China’s Qinghai province has struggled to ramp up production despite over a decade of efforts, including by electric car maker BYD Co. (OTCPK:BYDDY).
BMI concedes that China’s deposits of lepidolite, which GS says will add significant new supply volumes, may have the potential to help bridge the deficit in coming years. However, they too are unlikely to lead to oversupply because China’s lepidolite processing has a high waste-to-ore ratio of 20:1, high waste-disposal costs as well as high processing costs, all of which make it a marginal source of lithium.
BMI’s view is shared by experts at Macquarie Research , who recently upgraded their lithium price outlook to reflect the current tight lithium market.
» We do not see material volume from new spodumene producers until CY23. We lift our peak price assumption by 2% to US$5,000/t (realized quarterly average) and upgrade annual prices by 55% for CY23 and 107%, 114% and 110% for CY24, CY25, and CY26 respectively, » the researchers have written in a bullish report.
Explosive EV Market Growth
The global EV revolution has become an unstoppable trend and a major factor driving strong lithium demand.
According to projections by BloombergNEF , passenger EV sales will hit 21 million units in 2025, representing a nearly 220% jump compared to 2021 levels. «EV manufacturers are contemplating a market for battery raw materials that is very tight for the years ahead. The battery supply chain will require significant near-term investment to avoid a supply crunch ,» the clean energy prognosticators have said.

Meanwhile, the supply bottlenecks and global inflation that have caused the battery cost trend to reverse are expected to only be transitory. While high gas prices continue acting as an incentive to switch to electric.
» Some of the factors that are driving high battery raw material costs — war, inflation, trade friction–are also pushing the price of gasoline and diesel to record highs, which in turn is driving more consumer interest in EVs, » BNEF analysts have said.
Lithium Market Forecasting Is Difficult
Goldman Sachs is not the first Wall Street expert to have its lithium forecast called out by experts in the lithium field. BMI says this has happened before:
«We’ve seen this before, we will see it again. Goldman Sachs: you can’t just add up all the lithium mine level potential and make an oversupply call … the speciality chemicals world is more nuanced than iron ore. It’s why the world doesn’t rely on investment banks for research any more, » Benchmark Mineral Intelligence’s Simon Moores said in a tweet after the Goldman Sachs report came out.
BMI says that lithium is a specialty chemical, not all lithium is created equal, and not all auto and battery makers have the same needs. There are numerous constraints to bringing new supply into the market, and delays are common for new projects, as well as for producers looking to expand their existing operations.
Hooper notes that many analysts tend to get both demand and supply wrong, » The best indicator of battery-grade demand is cathode production. Historical analysis shows that demand linked to cathode production has the highest correlation to lithium prices–this indicator flagged a demand/supply deficit in late 2020.»

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Kobe Bryant’s widow was awarded $16 million as part of a $31 million jury verdict Wednesday against Los Angeles County for deputies and firefighters sharing grisly photos of the NBA star, his 13-year-old daughter and other victims killed in a 2020 helicopter crash.
The nine jurors unanimously agreed with Vanessa Bryant and her attorneys that the photos invaded her privacy and caused emotional distress. She cried quietly as it was read.
The jury deliberated 4 1/2 hours before reaching the verdict on Kobe Bryant Day, which is celebrated in LA on Aug. 24 because it represents his jersey numbers — 8 and 24 — and is the day after his birthday. Tuesday would have been Bryant’s 44th birthday.
An attorney for the county declined comment on the verdict outside the courtroom.
The pictures were shared mostly between employees of the LA County sheriff’s and fire departments including by some who were playing video games and attending an awards banquet. They were also seen by some of their spouses and in one case by a bartender at a bar where a deputy was drinking.
Vanessa Bryant tearfully testified during the 11-day trial that news of the photos compounded her still-raw grief a month after losing her husband and daughter, and that she still has panic attacks at the thought that they might still be out there.
“I live in fear every day of being on social media and these popping up,” she testified. “I live in fear of my daughters being on social media and these popping up.”
Her co-plaintiff Chris Chester, whose wife and daughter were also among the nine people killed in the crash, was awarded $15 million.
“We’re grateful for a jury and a judge who gave us a fair trial," said Chester’s lawyer Jerry Jackson.
Vanessa Bryant’s attorneys did not give jurors a dollar amount they thought their client deserved, but Chester’s attorney gave them suggested guidelines that would have meant tens of millions for each plaintiff.
Vanessa Bryant and her attorney declined comment outside court Wednesday. Her face was still streaked with tears as she walked past TV cameras and dozens of reporters and climbed into an SUV.
Vanessa Bryant’s lawyer Luis Li told jurors that the close-up photos had no official or investigative purpose, and were mere “visual gossip” shared out of a gruesome curiosity.
County attorney J. Mira Hashmall argued during the trial that the photos were a necessary tool for assessing the situation.
She acknowledged that they should not have been shared with everyone who saw them. But she emphasized that the photos had never appeared publicly, and had never even been seen by the plaintiffs. She said that meant that Sheriff Alex Villanueva and other officials had taken decisive and effective action when they ordered those who had the photos to delete them.
Kobe Bryant, the former Lakers star, five-time NBA champion and member of the Basketball Hall of Fame, was traveling with Gianna and seven others to a youth basketball game when the helicopter they were aboard crashed into hills in Calabasas west of Los Angeles on Jan. 26, 2020.
Federal safety officials blamed pilot error for the crash. | https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4637195 | 2022-08-25T01:31:36Z | https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4637195 | false | 41 |
Local comedian Jake Woodmansee is primed to perform three days in a row with comedy sets at Open Space Event Studios this weekend. Woodmansee has performed comedy for over 20 years, and will return to a familiar stage at Open Space, where he did theater performances there when it was still Second Street Theater. Each night has a different theme and the sets will all be filmed for the comedian's upcoming special. Be prepared to potentially see yourself on the screen in the future, especially if attending all three nights!
Night 1: Story Time
Everyone has that friend who can capture a dinner party's attention with their stories and keep the entertainment going all night. Jake is that human, and he will captivate the live audience with this set of completely true stories.
Night 2: Agro Hippies Musical Improv
This isn't a regular improv show. Agro Hippies takes the musical talents of Steven Whitney and the quick wit built through decades of stage experience from Woodmansee to deliver a show that can only be experienced live for its true essence. The audience will toss out suggestions and Woodmansee must create a performance from these, paired with music he hasn't heard before. If he's unable to make up an act he owes the suggester a drink.
Night 3: A Knight of Comedy
All right, no more shenanigans. Well, maybe some. Woodmansee concludes the weekend with a traditional comedy set, but with the antics of Woodmansee, who knows what that will bring.
Throughout the weekend Tylor Jones will perform, with a bunch of friends and guests getting on stage, too. Audiences will need to sign a consent form for filming purposes. Each night is $20 admission, with a weekend pass being $50 which can be shared among friends.
Jake Woodmansee

Former Brisbane captain Dayne Beams has labelled the Lions’ decision to retain Dayne Zorko as skipper as “embarrassing” in the wake of the sledge to Melbourne defender Harrison Petty.
Zorko spoke publicly for the first time on Wednesday, conceding he “crossed the line” with this comments that left Petty in tears at the three-quarter time break.

But he also said that “it wasn’t just an unprovoked sledge, and it wasn’t said in isolation.”
It was those comments that angered Zorko’s former captain Beams, who took to Instagram to express his disgust.
“Really? You wondered what you said?” he wrote.
“Embarrassing that he is still captain. Worst thing is I’m not even surprised.”
Beams’ social media post came after revelations that Zorko was subject to ‘pretty disgusting’ comments about women in his life.
“I’m told that some of the stuff said to Zorko ... was pretty disgusting,” veteran journalist Caroline Wilson said.
“If you were going to investigate what was said, you’d be more investigating what was said to Zorko about women in his life (that was) far worse than what was said to Petty.”
Zorko was again apologetic when he spoke to 7NEWS Brisbane on Wednesday night.
“I want to send my remorse once again to Harrison Petty and his family,” he said.
“I guess there was a fair bit of sledging going both ways on the night.
“Unfortunately I crossed that line. There was plenty of moments where we were going right up to it, but I was the first one who overstepped it.
“I’m apologising for that.”
The AFL considers the case closed after the Demons accepted Brisbane’s apology on Saturday.

EXPLAINER: Why the term ‘genocide’ matters in Ukraine war
WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Joe Biden declares Russia’s Ukraine war “genocide,” it isn’t just another strong word. Calling a campaign that’s aimed at wiping out a targeted group “genocide” not only increases pressure on a country to act, it can oblige it to. That’s partly because of a genocide treaty approved by the U.N. General Assembly after World War II, signed by the United States and more than 150 other nations. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2712100625560/state-primary-2022-early-voting | 2022-08-25T01:38:12Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2712100625560/state-primary-2022-early-voting | false | 12721 |

Mitsubishi Corp to apply for stake in new Sakhalin-2 LNG entity
Japanese trading house Mitsubishi Corp said on Thursday it has decided to apply for a stake in the new Russian entity that took over the Sakhalin-2 liquefied natural gas (LNG) project. Mitsubishi Corp will submit an agreement form to take a stake in the project by the deadline set for Sept.
Japanese trading house Mitsubishi Corp said on Thursday it has decided to apply for a stake in the new Russian entity that took over the Sakhalin-2 liquefied natural gas (LNG) project.
Mitsubishi Corp will submit an agreement form to take a stake in the project by the deadline set for Sept. 4, a spokesperson said. The move comes after the Japanese government asked Mitsubishi Corp to "think positively" in joining the new entity as the Sakhalin-2 is a key source of stable energy supply for Japan.
Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree in June to take charge of the Sakhalin-2 project in Russia's far east, raising the stakes in an economic war with the West and its allies.

Kenyon Green is expected to make his NFL debut in the Houston Texans preseason finale Thursday night. Head coach Lovie Smith will get his first look at the rookie offensive lineman in game action against the San Francisco 49ers.
"Kenyon has made a lot of progress," Smith said. "He'll play. He won't start, but we're going to get him into the mix. He's right on schedule."
Smith has not named starters yet but says that a first-round pick "eventually is going to move into that role, but it'll play itself out." Green is currently listed second on the Texans unofficial depth chart at left guard, behind Justin McCray.
Drafted with the No. 15 overall selection out of Texas A&M, Green missed time with a concussion, but returned to practice last week. Although he did not play in Friday's preseason game in Los Angeles, Green has been trending upwards and is steadily getting more reps.
"He's missed a lot of time, but getting him back out there, just in a group, was big for us," Smith said. "I think the last couple days he's practiced with us, he's done well. No lingering effects from the previous injury. Hopefully we'll be able to do something with him this weekend."
The Texans will close out their preseason at home against the San Francisco 49ers. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. on Amazon Prime and FOX-26 locally in Houston. | https://www.houstontexans.com/news/ol-kenyon-green-expected-to-make-texans-debut-thursday | 2022-08-25T01:58:31Z | https://www.houstontexans.com/news/ol-kenyon-green-expected-to-make-texans-debut-thursday | true | 1 |

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Twenty20 World Cup organizers have had to release standing-room-only tickets for the India-Pakistan group-stage encounter after all seats at the Melbourne Cricket Ground were sold out within five minutes.
Organizers said an additional 4,000 tickets would be sold for the Oct. 23 blockbuster for areas where standing is the only option for spectators. The MCG can can hold up to 100,000 for Australian rules football games and more than 90,000 for cricket.
“The ticket release ensures that as many fans as possible can attend,” organizers said. Matches between Pakistan and India at cricket World Cups usually sell out quickly because of the lack of bilateral tours involving the archrivals.
India edged Pakistan by 5 runs in the final of the first T20 World Cup in 2007 in South Africa. Pakistan won the next edition with an eight-wicket win over Sri Lanka in the final at Lord’s in 2009.
Six countries have won the title, with the West Indies (2012 and ’16) being the only two-time champions.
The 2022 edition will start Oct. 16 and finish with a Nov. 13 final at the MCG. Australia is the defending champion after winning its first T20 world men’s title in Dubai last year.
Australia was scheduled to stage both Twenty20 World Cups in 2020 but the men’s tournament was postponed because of travel restrictions in place for the COVID-19 pandemic. Australia won the women’s final against India in March 2020 in front of a crowd exceeding 86,000 at the MCG.

Don’t blame us, blame FIFA – NFF
It was another show of shame again by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) after shoddy logistics arrangement for Nigeria’s women U-20 team, Falconets, leading to the players sleeping at the Instabul airport for over 20 hours. According to reports and pictures circulating on social media, the team has been traveling since Monday and are currently sleeping on the floor at the airport in Turkey till their connecting flight back to Nigeria. The team had a 24-hour layover in Turkey, with no hotel accommodation.
It would be recalled that the Falconets were eliminated in the quarterfinal of the 2022 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Costa Rica by Netherlands despite qualifying from their group with a 100 per cent record. However, in a quick reaction, the NFF has exonerated itself from the long travel arrangement of the Nigeria Women U-20 team, Falconets, from the venue of the ongoing FIFA U-20 Women World Cup, Costa Rica. Apart from the hitches that affected the team’s return to Nigeria, there was report of the players getting $50 per day as camp allowance (no bonuses or wages).
It was also said that the NFF didn’t provide footwear for them, they had to buy themselves (they borrowed money), and their travel allowance for local transportation on arrival is expected to be N40,000. Speaking in a statement, the General Secretary of the NFF, Mohammed Sanusi, said world football governing body, FIFA, actually made the arrangements for the team. “The NFF did not book the team’s tickets from Costa Rica; FIFA did,” Sanusi said. “FIFA also did not envisage the hitches that saw the team delayed for more than three hours in Bogota, and another one hour in Panama. By the time the team got to Istanbul, the flight to Abuja had left. “Our officials pleaded for compassionate transit visas so as to take the players and officials to a hotel inside the town, but this was not possible as they were informed that Nigeria had been removed from the list of countries whose citizens were issued visa-on-arrival in Turkey. “The airline then took the team to a sleeping area at the airport and gave them tickets to have meals every five hours.”
“This situation has nothing to do with NFF, who had made arrangements to receive the team in Abuja before the complications in travel arrangements.” On the issue of body-wear, Sanusi said: “The players were handed three sets of green jerseys and two sets of white jerseys, several house-wear types and training jerseys. The players opted to wash only their jersey top (no other stuff) because when the first set of body-wear was sent to the laundry people at the hotel, it returned with some FIFA and NFF badges at the front and names at the back peeled by the machine.” | https://www.newtelegraphng.com/nff-fumbles-again-falconets-sleep-on-airport-floor-for-over-20-hours/ | 2022-08-25T02:27:46Z | https://www.newtelegraphng.com/nff-fumbles-again-falconets-sleep-on-airport-floor-for-over-20-hours/ | false | 2 |

Opinion
Qantas survived the pandemic despite a $7b hit. Now it sees clear skies ahead
Stephen Bartholomeusz
Senior business columnistAmid the tides of red ink that have flowed through Qantas’ accounts over the past three financial years and the hostile background noise that has accompanied its spluttering efforts to move from distress to recovery there are finally glimmers of something more positive.
Qantas’ decision to announce a $400 million share buyback after posting an underlying loss of $1.9 billion – taking its losses over the pandemic-affected years to the best part of a survival-threatening $7 billion – says it sees something significantly more substantial than glimmers.
It is a signal that, after several false dawns, Alan Joyce and his board are convinced that Qantas is now more firmly on the runway towards normal operations and that, while its performance is still being impacted by COVID, its responses to those disruptions are improving to the point where it is confident that the worst is behind it.
Qantas, and Joyce, have been targeted aggressively by unions, passengers and other critics for the delayed and cancelled flights, lost luggage, rising airfares and endless queues at airports that have occurred as the industry struggles to ramp up operations that had largely been mothballed through the pandemic years.
While that criticism has been highly focused on Qantas, and Joyce personally, it has ignored the abundant evidence that the issues Qantas has experienced, and is experiencing, aren’t confined to Qantas but are industry-wide and global.
Every major airline and airport in the world is experiencing the same challenge of trying to return capacity and the people and systems needed to meet demand for travel that exploded, suddenly, as the major economies re-opened even while still experiencing high levels of COVID transmission.
For Qantas, and its peers, restarting and re-staffing operations that had been shrunken and dormant through the pandemic years – and had to be essentially shut down if insolvency were to be avoided after $200 billion of lost revenues, including $25 billion of Qantas’ – would have been complex enough without the acute labour shortages and COVID-related absences that all Australian businesses are experiencing.
An average of 320 pilots a day unavailable because they are in isolation or otherwise ill and overall absences 50 per cent greater than pre-COVID levels would complicate the management of the airlines even if demand for travel hadn’t return so rapidly.
Revenue from the group’s leisure passengers was 125 per cent of pre-COVID levels in the June quarter and revenue from business travel 90 per cent of pre-COVID levels – despite the disruptions and frustrations.
The mismatch between that demand and the capacity of Qantas – and Virgin – to manage it with their downsized and, thanks to COVID and the winter flu season, volatile pools of employees is the reason the return to air travel has been so problematic.
Qantas’ response, as it has been for other airlines, has been to take capacity out of its system so that it has a notional excess of staff to cover for COVID-related stresses that, because of their nature, can’t be forecast or planned for.
Qantas survived the pandemic, with some assistance from the federal government, because it has had strong financial disciplines and is financially conservative.
When surging demand meets reduced capacity airfares rise. The higher load factors and yields the airlines are generating offsets the revenue foregone by their reduced schedules.
That strategy is also enabling the airlines to recover jet fuel costs that have soared since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Qantas’ fuel bill is expected to be about $1 billion more this financial year than it was in the pre-pandemic 2019 financial year despite the reduced international schedule.
It is also buying Qantas the breathing space to hire more people – it has hired about 1500 since April – and upgrade its infrastructure to improve its interactions with its customers and their baggage.
Its cancellations have been steadily reducing – they are below five per cent this month – and Qantas expects them to be back at pre-COVID levels next month. On time performance is trending similarly, as are the statistics on mishandled baggage.
There’s no doubt that, along with its finances, Qantas’ brand has been damaged by the frustrations of its customers but what’s interesting – and generating optimism within Qantas – is that it isn’t impacting demand for Qantas’ services.
As Joyce says, the issues have impacted Qantas’ physical operations, not its commercial business, which is now experiencing record levels of demand.
If the operational issues continue to be resolved, Qantas expects to return capacity to the domestic market and, indeed, have 106 per cent of its pre-COVID capacity in the second half of this financial year.
International will be slower and is more impacted by the higher fuel costs and by the time it takes to bring wide-bodied planes back into service. It will operate at about 65 per cent of pre-COVID capacity in the first half of 2022-23 and, Qantas hopes, 85 per cent in the second half.
Qantas survived the pandemic, with some assistance from the federal government, because it has had strong financial disciplines and is financially conservative. It raised $1.4 billion from shareholders at the onset of the pandemic and another $800 million from property sales.
Those prudent decisions, along with a reduction in Qantas’ cost base that is tracking towards $1 billion, helped reduce the group’s debt from $6.4 billion at its peak to $3.9 billion – its lowest level since the global financial crisis in 2008 – and has created the financial capacity for the share buyback program that Qantas announced with its results and which demonstrates its confidence that, finally, the worst of the pandemic influences are behind it.

Cashless Tolling
Posted: Aug 24, 2022 5:26 PMUpdated: Aug 24, 2022 5:26 PM
OTA Approves Rates for Conversion to PLATEPAY
The Oklahoma Turnpike Authority approved two agenda items related to toll rates this week at their regular meeting that will bring Oklahoma one step closer to the full implementation of cashless tolling known as PLATEPAY.
Board members approved toll rates for the cashless tolling but did not release what the rates would be to the public. The rates will be standardized across all toll roads within the borders of our state. Tolls will be billed to drivers after they pass through a toll area by reading the license plate of the car and issuing a monthly billing statement. Drivers who have PIKEPASS will not see any changes to their current account. Along with the statement a photo of the car will be sent to the registered owner.
OTA expects all toll roads to be converted to PLATEPAY by 2024.

The first day of school is filled with excitement, nervous energy and happiness.
Southeast Elementary School in Waverly opened their doors for the first day of school on Tuesday.
The young students and their guardians started to trickle onto the school grounds around 8 a.m. They were greeted by a colorful sign out front that said “Welcome Back.”
The obligatory first day of school pictures were being taken and the final checks of backpacks and school lunches were being done. When students friends started to show up, they joined them with a smile.
“I am super excited to see all the students and hear how their summer went,” Tonya Poppe, school counselor, said. “I am also excited to start a new school year with all the staff.”
With the last two years governed by the COVID-19 regulations, Poppe feels good about the steps that have been taken to ensure the safety of the staff and students.
“I feel good about the Covid stuff,” Poppe said. “We have handled it really well and the staff and students feel really safe.”
Parents like Jessica Duncan, who has a first-grader this year, are looking forward to the school year.
“I’m excited to see how much he’s grown and what he will learn this year,” Duncan said.
Teachers and new staff share the joy of a new school year.
“I’m really excited to see the new kids,” Jillian Zaputil-Erickson, a special education teacher who is in her fourth year, said. “Getting to work with our new principal is something I am looking forward to as well as trying out new strategies with the kids. I am going to try and implement some new technology with the non-verbal students.”
As the clock rolled around to 8:20 a.m., the students got into their respective lines to get ready to go inside.
The flag was raised for the first time during the school year and students and teachers got ready to start their day with the Pledge of Allegiance.
After the Pledge was over with, the students filed into the school behind their teacher’s lead. The parents gave their final good-byes and good lucks before leaving the school grounds.

Uvalde school board fires police chief after mass shooting
The Uvalde school district's embattled police chief was fired Wednesday following allegations that he made several critical mistakes during the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School that left 19 students and two teachers dead.

In a unanimous vote, the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District's board of trustees dismissed police Chief Pete Arredondo, three months to the day after one of the deadliest classroom shootings in U.S. history.
"Coward!" parents yelled in a Uvalde auditorium as the meeting got underway.
Arredondo is the first officer dismissed over the hesitant and fumbling law enforcement response to the May 24 tragedy. Only one other officer — Uvalde Police Department Lt. Mariano Pargas, who was the city's acting police chief on the day of massacre — is known to have been placed on leave for their actions during the shooting.
Arredondo, who has been on leave from the district since June 22, has come under the most intense scrutiny of the nearly 400 officers who rushed to school but waited more than an hour to confront the 18-year-old gunman in a fourth-grade classroom.
Most notably, Arredondo was criticized for not ordering officers to act sooner. Col. Steve McCraw, director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, has said Arredondo was in charge of the law enforcement response to the attack.
Arredondo was not in attendance with his career on the line.
Instead, minutes before the meeting of the Uvalde school board got underway, Arredondo's attorney released a scathing 4,500-word letter that amounted to the police chief's fullest defense to date of his actions. Over 17 defiant pages, Arredondo is not the fumbling school police chief who a damning state investigation blamed for not taking command and wasted time by looking for keys to a likely unlocked door, but a brave officer whose level-headed decisions saved the lives of other students.
The letter also accused Uvalde school officials of putting his life at risk by not letting him carry a weapon to the school board meeting.
"Chief Arredondo is a leader and a courageous officer who with all of the other law enforcement officers who responded to the scene, should be celebrated for the lives saved, instead of vilified for those they couldn't reach in time," Hyde wrote.
Uvalde school officials have been under mounting pressure from victims' families and members of the community, many of whom have called for Arredondo's termination. Superintendent Hal Harrell had first moved to fire Arredondo in July but postponed the decision at the request of the police chief's attorney.
Among those at the meeting was Ruben Torres, father of Chloe Torres, who survived the shooting in room 112 of the school. He said that as a former Marine, he took an oath that he faithfully executed willingly, and did not understand why officers did not take action when leadership failed.
"Right now, being young, she is having a hard time handling this horrific event," Torres said.
The Texas Department of Public Safety, which had more than 90 state troopers at the scene, has also launched an internal investigation into the response by state police.
School officials have said the campus at Robb Elementary will no longer be used. Instead, campuses elsewhere in Uvalde will serve as temporary classrooms for elementary school students, not all of whom are willing to return to school in-person following the shooting.
School officials say a virtual academy will be offered for students. The district has not said how many students will attend virtually, but a new state law passed last year in Texas following the pandemic limits the number of eligible students receiving remote instruction to "10% of all enrolled students within a given school system."
Schools can seek a waiver to exceed the limit but Uvalde has not done so, according to Melissa Holmes, a spokeswoman for the Texas Education Agency.
New measures to improve school safety in Uvalde include "8-foot, non-scalable perimeter fencing" at elementary, middle and high school campuses, according to the school district. Officials say they have also installed additional security cameras, upgraded locks, enhanced training for district staff and improving communication.
However, according to the district's own progress reports, as of Tuesday no fencing had been erected at six of the eight campuses where it was planned, and cameras had only been installed at the high school. Some progress had been made on locks at three of eight campuses, and communication improvement was marked as half complete for each campus.
Uvalde CISD did not immediately respond to a request for comment. | https://www.koco.com/article/uvalde-school-board-fires-police-chief-mass-shooting/40984429 | 2022-08-25T02:49:18Z | https://www.koco.com/article/uvalde-school-board-fires-police-chief-mass-shooting/40984429 | true | 16 |

Former President Trump on Wednesday called on Republicans to boot Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) from his post as Senate minority leader, accusing the senator of being a “pawn for the Democrats.”
In a statement, Trump cited a Wednesday story from The Federalist about McConnell and his wife Elaine Chao’s alleged ties to China in calling for the senator’s ouster from his longtime leadership post.
“Mitch McConnell is not an Opposition Leader, he is a pawn for the Democrats to get whatever they want,” Trump said in his statement. “He is afraid of them, and will not do what has to be done. A new Republican Leader in the Senate should be picked immediately!”
Trump has feuded with McConnell, who he has dubbed “Old Crow,” since the Senate leader denounced the former president in Congress for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Over the weekend, the former president slammed McConnell for making remarks last week about “candidate quality,” in a reference to Republicans running for Senate, a number of which were hand-picked by Trump. McConnell has said the race for Senate control in November will be close.
Trump also took a dig at Chao, his former Transportation secretary who resigned from office one day after the Jan. 6 attack, calling her McConnell’s “crazy wife.” In Wednesday’s message he called her “Coco.”
Last year, Trump also called for Republicans to select a new Senate leader to boost the GOP’s chances of retaking Congress in 2022.
“I think we’re going to do very well,” Trump said at the time. “We need good leadership. Mitch McConnell has not done a great job, I think they should change Mitch McConnell.”
In Wednesday’s statement, Trump accused McConnell of giving the “Radical Left the Trillions and Trillions of Dollars that they constantly DEMAND” and faulted him for failing to stop passage of the landmark tax, climate and healthcare law known as the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).
In fact, Democrats have had to find routes around staunch GOP opposition for their major spending programs, such as passed the IRA through the budget reconciliation process to avoid a filibuster, and President Biden using executive authority to forgive student debt this week. | https://wgno.com/hill-politics/trump-calls-for-mcconnell-to-be-ousted-as-gop-leader-immediately/ | 2022-08-25T02:56:01Z | https://wgno.com/hill-politics/trump-calls-for-mcconnell-to-be-ousted-as-gop-leader-immediately/ | true | 17 |

Finish Line: Work advice from boomers and the Silent Generation
Hundreds of Axios readers born in 1964 or earlier answered our call for wisdom and insights on navigating work and life.
Why it matters: These readers have lived through multiple wars, recessions, boom times and presidents. And we can all learn from their decades of experience.
Here's a selection of their thoughts:
1) Follow your passion.
- "Try to find a job that satisfies you and your talents. You may have to have a couple of jobs that are just so-so or you don't like. But eventually find a job that is meaningful to you." —Casey B., Santa Ynez, California, Silent Generation
- "Look at career options that might be out of your comfort zone. I came from a family of teachers so went into teaching without knowing much about other options. In hindsight, I wish I had spent more time researching other interesting careers that might have been a better fit." —Suzy W., Grand Rapids, Michigan, boomer
- "You will have bad days, bad weeks, even bad months. But if you have one crappy month after another, and it’s shaping up to be a terrible year, it’s probably time to reassess whether this is the work you should be doing. Or the place to be doing it." —Jim S., Omaha, Nebraska, boomer
2) Open your mind.
- "If I don't agree with your views, even on important topics, I'm not a hater. And neither do I consider you a hater. Having grace for people makes diversity work!" —Joy U., Denver, Colorado, boomer
- "My fellow boomers who are annoyed or impatient with what they deem to be the ignorance of their younger colleagues would do well to consider that there is a good chance they are now mimicking the behaviors they once mocked." —Casey G., Studio City, California, boomer
- "Think twice before sending that angry or snarky email or text. Life is not permanent; it's not perfect and it's not personal." —Mike G., Richmond, Virginia, Silent Generation
- "We can all learn from each other. Old doesn’t equal dinosaur and youth doesn't equal ignorance." —Greg G., Estero, Florida, boomer
3) Hard work still means something.
- "Although you are able to have a more casual relationship with work, please be 'all in' when you are there. Even if it is not the perfect, passion-inflaming job you aspire to. Jobs disappeared in our generation, and we had to compete hard to retain jobs to support families. We hope it does not happen to you." —Suzanne B., Houston, Texas, Silent Generation
- "Know that career progression isn’t linear — sometimes you have to go sideways for a while before you go up. Broadening your experience is hugely valuable. The more you learn, the more valuable you are to this company or the next." —Janet M., Orlando, Florida, boomer
4) Get off the damn phone!
- "There's much to be said for good manners and respect. For example, please get your head away from your phone. Maybe walk down the hall, smile and say hello, even if it's an old, gray-haired coot." —Barbara K., Falls Church, Virgnia, Silent Generation
- "Don't lose your people skills — texts and social media only go so far. If millennials think they know how to adapt to change, think about the fact that many of us who are still working highly productively today were working before faxes, FedEx, cell phones and the internet. We used telegrams to confirm contract changes! We constantly adapted to be productive today — our people skills pulled us through." —Ann S., Asheville, North Carolina, Silent Generation
The bottom line: Carol I., a Silent Gen-er from Lansing, Michigan, put it best: "Don't pay much attention to generational categories. Just be yourself, enjoy colleagues and friends of varying ages. Keep on caring and being compassionate with others, including the whole earth. You give me hope."

BOJ's Nakamura stresses need to maintain ultra-loose policy
TOKYO : The Bank of Japan must maintain massive stimulus to support an economy facing a resurgence in COVID-19 infections and slowing global demand, one of its board member said, reinforcing the BOJ's outlier status in a global wave of monetary tightening.
BOJ board member Toyoaki Nakamura said on Thursday the outlook for Japan's economy was clouded by a renewed spike in pandemic cases, lingering supply constraints and persistent rises in global commodity prices.
Market jitters over aggressive interest rate hikes by major central banks to rein in rampant inflation could also trigger an outflow of capital from emerging economies, and hurt global growth, Nakamura added.
Such risks, and the fact Japan's output gap remains negative, justify keeping monetary policy ultra-loose, he said.
"Japan's economy is still in the midst of recovering from the pandemic-induced slump," Nakamura told a speech.
"Shifting to a monetary tightening stance, at a time when demand remains short of supply, would hurt the economy and act as a big restraint to household and business activity," he said. | https://www.channelnewsasia.com/business/bojs-nakamura-stresses-need-maintain-ultra-loose-policy-2899471?cid=cna_flip_070214 | 2022-08-25T03:17:03Z | https://www.channelnewsasia.com/business/bojs-nakamura-stresses-need-maintain-ultra-loose-policy-2899471?cid=cna_flip_070214 | false | 3 |
Smartphone brand Nothing's Phone (1) won't get Android 13 update until 2023
Topics Nothing | smartphone industry | smartphones
Smartphone brand Nothing stated that the Android 13 update for its recently launched phone (1) will only be rolled out in the first half of 2023.
According to Android Authority, users who anticipated receiving Android 13 quickly for the Nothing Phone (1) may be disappointed to hear that they may have to wait until the middle of next year.
"We are always working hard to improve the Phone 1 user experience. To ensure this, operating system updates will be made available for regular download," Nothing founder Carl Pei was quoted as saying by the website.
"In regards to Android 13, this will be launching for Phone 1 users in the first half of 2023. Before releasing, we want to fine tune the software upgrade with Nothing's hardware. We will be sure to keep you updated with further information," Pei added.
Android 13 has been rolled out this week with several new features, including improved privacy controls, language settings and more.
Google said Android 13 will roll out to Samsung Galaxy, ASUS, HMD (Nokia phones), iQOO, Motorola, OnePlus, OPPO, realme, Sharp, Sony, Tecno, vivo, Xiaomi and more later this year.
Android 13 adopts Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) Audio, a new Bluetooth audio standard that results in lower latency than classic audio.

Daly Cherry-Evans, Matt Burton, Ben Hunt and Jake Trbojevic are set to spearhead a Prime Minister’s XIII team to play against Papua New Guinea at Suncorp Stadium next month.
The NRL is expected to announce in the coming days the Brisbane capital will host the game that was last played at the end of 2019 in Fiji.
Kangaroos coach Mal Meninga has been pushing hard for a return of the PM’s XIII game, which was also mooted to be played in Newcastle or the new $828m Allianz Stadium.
Being a World Cup year, the PM’s XIII game will take on extra importance for those players who will not feature in the NRL finals.
Cherry-Evans is one man who knows Manly’s pre-finals exit could come back to cruel his own hopes of retaining the Australian No. 7 jersey ahead of Nathan Cleary.
“I’m definitely a bit nervous, for sure,” said Cherry-Evans, when asked about the halfback race this week.
“There’s that old philosophy of, ‘out of sight, out of mind’.
“There won’t be many people talking about Manly. I am aware of what our season is doing to not just me, but a heap of us wanting to go to the World Cup.
“There are still two more games to go [this season], so I am holding out hope we can finish with a bang and I can play some good footy.
“I have always maintained if I get a spot in that [Australian] squad, I’ll back myself to be in the team when we get over there. There is still a lot of water to go under the bridge before we get there.”
There is also talk the PM’s XIII will be part of a Suncorp double-header with an NRLW game.
Players who fail to make the finals and are bundled out in week one will be eligible for PM’s XIII selection.
Kangaroos’ incumbent Josh Addo-Carr is another in line for the PM’s XIII game, with the Bulldogs flyer also keen to feature a week later in the NSW Aboriginal Rugby League Knockout Carnival on the NSW south coast.
All squads for the Cup are set to be trimmed by the middle of September.
Harry Grant’s recent form for Melbourne has him as the front-runner for the Kangaroos’ No. 9 jersey.
Cup fancies Tonga will have a warm-up game against Trent Robinson’s France, while New Zealand meet Super League side Leeds on the same weekend. | https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/pm-s-xiii-returns-suncorp-to-host-kangaroos-key-cup-audition-20220825-p5bcqm.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_feed | 2022-08-25T03:29:11Z | https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/pm-s-xiii-returns-suncorp-to-host-kangaroos-key-cup-audition-20220825-p5bcqm.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_feed | false | 10 |
What’s driving South Africa's strong luxury property market?
- Luxury homes in South Africa continue to sell despite the economic downturn
- 984 homes valued over R10 million were sold in SA in 2021
- Cape Town's Atlantic seaboard is makes up an estimated 20% of all luxury property sales
Recent interest rate hikes and rising inflation in South Africa may have deterred some would-be homebuyers, but the luxury property market remains surprisingly resilient despite the economic pressure.
Luxury homes coast anything north of R5m. 984 homes valued at over R10 million were sold in South Africa in 2021, despite the the knock-on effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Now we're seeing a really good and active luxury market out in George, Mossel Bay and parts of the Eastern Cape as well.

RELATED: 'Listing Cape Town' brings the city's most luxurious homes to our screens
The data shows that international buyers are significant contributors to the activity in the highest-priced property range in South Africa, particularly in Cape Town’s Atlantic Seaboard where an estimated 20% of all luxury property transactions are sales to foreign buyers.
Anything from the R5m to the R10m is where there's real activity in this space. We're starting to see real growth in properties that were sitting below the R4m are now sitting around the R6m mark.

Wealthy buyers choosing to remain in or relocate to Gauteng are favouring country and estate living over the hustle and bustle of the city, while the demand for luxury property is highest in Cape Town, particularly in security estates and educational nodes where the province’s top government and private schools are located.
Homes in sought-after areas such as Franschhoek, Stellenbosch, Hermanus, Plettenberg Bay and Knysna are also extremely popular with wealthy buyers.

Former President Trump on Wednesday called on Republicans to boot Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) from his post as Senate minority leader, accusing the senator of being a “pawn for the Democrats.”
In a statement, Trump cited a Wednesday story from The Federalist about McConnell and his wife Elaine Chao’s alleged ties to China in calling for the senator’s ouster from his longtime leadership post.
“Mitch McConnell is not an Opposition Leader, he is a pawn for the Democrats to get whatever they want,” Trump said in his statement. “He is afraid of them, and will not do what has to be done. A new Republican Leader in the Senate should be picked immediately!”
Trump has feuded with McConnell, who he has dubbed “Old Crow,” since the Senate leader denounced the former president in Congress for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Over the weekend, the former president slammed McConnell for making remarks last week about “candidate quality,” in a reference to Republicans running for Senate, a number of which were hand-picked by Trump. McConnell has said the race for Senate control in November will be close.
Trump also took a dig at Chao, his former Transportation secretary who resigned from office one day after the Jan. 6 attack, calling her McConnell’s “crazy wife.” In Wednesday’s message he called her “Coco.”
Last year, Trump also called for Republicans to select a new Senate leader to boost the GOP’s chances of retaking Congress in 2022.
“I think we’re going to do very well,” Trump said at the time. “We need good leadership. Mitch McConnell has not done a great job, I think they should change Mitch McConnell.”
In Wednesday’s statement, Trump accused McConnell of giving the “Radical Left the Trillions and Trillions of Dollars that they constantly DEMAND” and faulted him for failing to stop passage of the landmark tax, climate and healthcare law known as the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).
In fact, Democrats have had to find routes around staunch GOP opposition for their major spending programs, such as passed the IRA through the budget reconciliation process to avoid a filibuster, and President Biden using executive authority to forgive student debt this week. | https://wreg.com/hill-politics/trump-calls-for-mcconnell-to-be-ousted-as-gop-leader-immediately/ | 2022-08-25T03:31:26Z | https://wreg.com/hill-politics/trump-calls-for-mcconnell-to-be-ousted-as-gop-leader-immediately/ | true | 17 |
BEAUMONT, Texas — Cats may have nine lives but one Port Arthur dog appears to at least have two after he was rescued from an empty reservoir at the city water treatment plant Tuesday.
Workers at the city's water treatment plant along Texas Highway 73 called the Port Arthur Fire Department after spotting the pooch at the bottom of an empty concrete reservoir on Tuesday according to battalion chief Jeremy Holland.

Did you know you could be fired for not removing a political sticker from your car — or even having a beer after work? Lewis Maltby says it's more than possible — it's happened. His new book, Can They Do That? explores rights in the workplace.
As he tells NPR's Ari Shapiro, "Freedom of speech is protected by the First Amendment — but only where the government is concerned.
"What most Americans generally don't know is that the Constitution doesn't apply to private corporations at all."
In terms of monitoring its employees, the list of things a corporation can't do is a short one — it's basically confined to eavesdropping on a personal oral conversation, Maltby said. "Anything else is open season."
And outside the workplace, personal blogs or social media pages on services like Twitter or Facebook offer no refuge.
Asked if workers can be fired for things they write on those sites, Maltby said, "Absolutely. Happens every day."
But not all snooping is meant to be malicious, Maltby said. For instance, a boss who suspects an employee might be about to quit, or is perhaps moonlighting for a competitor, might seek out the worker's personal blog.
The worker might not have been doing any of the things the boss had feared — instead, "your boss sees you blowing off steam about him, takes offense — and you get fired."
And workers have very little legal protection against being fired, said Maltby, who is also the president and founder of the National Workrights Institute.
"I've been getting calls from people for 20 years who've been abused in all sorts of ways," Maltby said. "When I tell them, 'Sorry, you don't have any legal rights,' they literally don't believe me," Maltby said.
Companies need the freedom to run their businesses the way they want — and fire people who are seen as doing a bad job. But, Maltby says, those decisions should be based on legitimate business rationale.
Asked how some practices can persist even though a majority of workers are against them, Maltby points to a key flaw in the job market: workers' need for stable income. The need to pay for things like a home mortgage or a child's education tends to complicate matters.
"It sounds nice in theory to say, 'Walk away, and look for another job,' " Maltby said. "But in practice, most people just can't take that risk. They just put up with it."

Although the Canadian equity markets have rebounded strongly from their last month’s lows, the fear of aggressive interest rate hikes and the inflationary environment could put pressure on the equity markets in the coming days. However, if you are a beginner with a longer investment horizon, you should not worry about these fluctuations and go long on quality stocks. With that objective in mind, here are my three top picks.
Telus
The pandemic has accelerated the digitization of business processes and increased the adoption of remote working and learning, thus driving the demand for faster and reliable internet services. Meanwhile, the increased penetration of mobile devices and 5G revolution have created multi-year growth potential for telecommunication service providers, including Telus (TSX:T)(NYSE:TU).
Supported by its accelerated capital expenditure program, which will end this year, the company has strengthened its PureFibre and 5G networks. It currently provides PureFibre service to 2.8 million locations while covering 78% of Canadians with its 5G service. Amid these investments and strong performance from its high-growth verticles, the telecom continues to deliver solid quarterly results. Revenue and adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization) grew by 7.1% and 8.9% in the June-ending quarter, respectively. The company added 247,000 new customers during the quarter.
As part of its diversification strategy, Telus recently acquired LifeWorks, strengthening its capabilities in the digital healthcare space. Additionally, the momentum in its TELUS International and TELUS Agriculture & Consumer Goods could continue to drive its growth in the coming quarters. Plus, the company pays a quarterly dividend of $0.3386/share, with its yield for the next 12 months at 4.49%. Its NTM (next 12 months) price-to-earnings multiple stands at 22.7, compared with a forward PE of 45 for the wireless telecom sector, making it an intriguing buy.
Nuvei
The digital payments segment has witnessed robust growth over the last few years due to e-commerce growth. The momentum could continue amidst increased adoption of online shopping and growing internet penetration. Analysts expect the global digital payments market to grow in double digits over the next five years. With Nuvei (TSX:NVEI)(NASDAQ:NVEI) supporting 150 currencies and 570 alternative payment methods (APM), it is well-positioned to benefit from the expansion.
The company is expanding its APM portfolio, venturing into new markets, growing its customer base, and increasing its headcount, which could drive its growth in the coming quarters. Nuvei also has a substantial presence in the sports betting and iGaming industry, which is growing as these markets continue to legalize. So, its growth prospects look healthy. However, amidst the recent selloff in the tech space, Nuvei lost 77% of its stock value from its 52-week high, while its NTM price-to-earnings stands at an attractive 17.
goeasy
With the improvement in economic activities since the easing of pandemic-infused restrictions, loan originations have improved, benefiting goeasy (TSX:GSY). In the recent second quarter, the company witnessed record loan originations of $628 million, representing year-over-year growth of 66%. Its stable credit and payment performance drove its financials, with its revenue and adjusted EPS growing by 24% and 8%, respectively.
Supported by strong organic growth and the acquisition of LendCare, goeasy’s loan portfolio increased to $2.4 billion. Forecasting strong growth, the company has raised its guidance for the next three years. Management expects its loan portfolio to reach $4 billion by the end of 2024, representing growth of 68% from its June 30 levels. Along with top-line growth, the operating margin could also improve by 100 basis points annually. So, given its healthy outlook and an attractive NTM price-to-earnings of 9.8, I am bullish on goeasy | https://www.fool.ca/2022/08/24/3-growth-stocks-to-buy-and-hold-for-the-next-10-years-3/ | 2022-08-25T03:38:02Z | https://www.fool.ca/2022/08/24/3-growth-stocks-to-buy-and-hold-for-the-next-10-years-3/ | false | 1 |
A single mum and her child could be made homeless just days before Christmas after being slapped with a £200 per month rent increase. Jemma Maclaren, 43, was told to move out of her Glasgow home of nine years by December 17, after challenging the rent hike imposed by landlord Kelvin Property.
The mum-of-one has been left "terrified" after learning her digs will be increasing from £695 to £895 per month - a surge of 29 per cent. It comes as thousands of Scots across the country continue to feel the squeeze of the cost of living crisis.
Jemma is desperate not to let the life-changing situation affect her 12-year-old daughter, who will have to move home and school. And she admitted that "Christmas is cancelled" for her family this year.
Jemma said: “I am terrified. This rent increase and eviction notice means I am not able to plan anything, and with the cost of living crisis, everything is hitting me at once.
"I am trying to keep it together for my daughter so she does not get anxious and worried about having to leave her school and her friends.
"Christmas is cancelled this year for us and I am dreading it. This is not what life in your forties is meant to be like.”
Gemma has lived in her Partick home with her daughter for almost a decade and over that time has paid landlords Kevin Properties £70,000 in rent. Her eviction date of December 17, is said to take into account time for periods for a notice to quit and an eviction notice.
Her plight was picked up by Living Rent, who staged a protest outside the landlords' Charing Cross office as they handed over the 'biggest rent hike of the month award' to the letting firm. The union has demanded the landlord to axe the rent increase and withdraw the notice to quit immediately.
Member defence representative, Lewis Kinney, said: “Jemma’s story shows exactly why we in Living Rent do what we do, callous landlords hiking up rents and threatening to put people on the street at Christmas. Similar situations are happening all over Scotland, and it is all the more shameful given the cost of living crisis and the fact that ordinary people are struggling to put food on the table and heat their homes.
"We need to resist this appalling behaviour by standing together, and we urgently need the Scottish Government to do the responsible thing and freeze rents.”
In June, we told how tenants across Scotland were forced to move out of their homes after they were hit by soaring rent increases of up to 36 per cent. Those renting private property in Glasgow and Edinburgh told how they have had no choice but to pack up and leave as they could not keep up with the rocketing rates.
When contacted by Living Rent, a spokesperson for Kelvin Properties said: "Whilst [we] appreciate Jemma's circumstances and we have over the time of her tenancy agreed and negotiated the rent increase, as a landlord we now also find ourselves experiencing a sharp increase in costs. With a large hike in all management fees across the board including factoring, insurance, maintenance, materials etc. This increase is in no way meant to function as an 'eviction notice'; it simply functions to bring it in line with market rent value for this area.”
A spokesperson for Kelvin Properties said: "The rental increase simply brings Ms Maclaren’s rent in line with the open market rents for the location. Tenants have the opportunity to contact the Housing and Property Chamber and can apply to the tribunal for a determination of what the rent should be if they think their rent is too high.
"To work out the open market rental value we look at what rents comparable properties are being marketed at, and advice from local agents. Regrettably as a business we are not in a position to absorb the cost of the increase in management costs, factoring, insurance premiums and maintenance costs for this property without a rental increase being forthcoming.
"Ms Maclaren did not apply the Tribunal for a determination and advised she was unable to afford the increase and indicated that she was unhappy with her neighbours. We therefore have followed procedure and issued Ms Maclaren with Notice to bring her tenancy to an end."
A Scottish Government spokesperson added: "The Scottish Government recognises the enormous pressures that many households are facing right now and that includes instances where people are faced with big rises in rents. For tenants with a private residential tenancy, there are strict legal processes a private sector landlord must follow to increase rent, including only being able to raise once a year and providing three months’ notice, and tenants have rights to challenge any unfair rises.
"Many tenants have used those rights and we are committed to making sure that all tenants know how to use them. For evictions, landlords can only take action for specific reasons and following a specific process and we have recently strengthened the law to give tenants more protection against eviction.
“Just this week we published responses to our New Deal for Tenants proposals which show how much interest there is in delivering improvements for tenants including robust rent controls giving long-lasting benefit to tenants.”

Airtel Stake Sale: Singtel Group, a Singaporean telecommunications conglomerate, said on Thursday it would sell a 3.3 per cent stake in India’s Bharti Airtel Ltd to Bharti Telecom Ltd. or shares worth about Rs 12,895 crore in a period of 90 days.
Bharti Group chairman Sunil Bharti Mittal’s family and Singtel own Bharti Telecom (BTL) and own 50.56 per cent and 49.44 per cent stake, respectively. Bharti Telecom is the promoter company of one of India’s biggest telecom operators, Airtel, with 35.85 per cent shareholding.
“Singtel and its affiliates have entered into an agreement to transfer approximately 3.33 per cent shares to BTL for an aggregate amount of approximately 2.25 billion Singapore dollars, leaving direct shareholding of Singtel and Bharti in Airtel at around 10 per cent and 6 per cent respectively," Bharti Airtel said in a regulatory filing on Thursday.
“Bharti and Singtel have agreed to work towards equalising their stake in Airtel over a period of time," the filing said.
Earlier, CNBC-Awaaz citing sources had reported that such a stake sale would change the shareholding structure of the company. Thus, the Mittal family’s control and clout in the company may increase.
Yesterday, Bharti Airtel stock hit a new 52-week high of Rs 792.65 apiece, crossing the last high of Rs 781.90 apiece.

Formula One has multiple inquiries from potential team owners who have taken a more behind-the-scenes approach than Michael Andretti, who has been “quite vocal” in his desire to expand the current grid, F1’s CEO said Wednesday.
Andretti has petitioned to expand the current F1 grid to 22 cars to accommodate Andretti Global, which he’s billing as a true American team. Andretti has taken that route after attempts to purchase an existing F1 team fell apart late last year.
He said this week he’s building a 575,000 square-foot facility on roughly 90 acres in Fishers, Indiana, to house Andretti Global. But he’s still no closer to landing an F1 team and Domenicali offered very little update specific to Andretti.
“The status of Formula One, it is not a problem of quantity,” Domenicali said. “It’s a matter of understanding not only the ones who have a bigger, louder voice, but there will be other people because Andretti was quite vocal about his request.
“But there are others that have done the same in a different way. So we will listen not only to Andretti, but to others that are respecting the silence on trying to be more productive on proving who they are and respecting the protocol.”
At issue is what value — if any — comes with expanding the current 20-car grid.
Mercedes head Toto Wolff has been vehemently against expansion and argued it will only decrease profits as the pot would be split between 11 teams instead of 10. But McLaren boss Zak Brown has argued adding the Andretti name would increase North American interest and signing U.S.-based sponsors based on Andretti’s participation would compensate for any dilution to the purse.
Wolff has dismissed the notion the Andretti name brings any value to F1. Mario Andretti is the 1978 F1 world champion; Michael Andretti spent one unremarkable season driving in the series.
And even though Andretti has had discussions with Renault about entering F1, Wolff has only been supportive of a potential Audi-backed effort.
“Andretti is a great name, and I think they have done exceptional things in the US,” Wolff recently said. “But this is sport and this is business and we need to understand what is it that you can provide to the sport.”
The resistance has irritated Mario Andretti, who on Twitter responded to a question asking if Wolff is too powerful for F1 with: “This needed to be said; it’s about time.”
Domenicali on Wednesday said that Wolff has earned his respect in F1 and is a credible voice in the series. He also indicated all the back-and-forth on the Andretti issue is a moot point because the decision will be made by a governing body and not Wolff and the current team principals.
“Mario, I know him very, very well, and he is trying to present his idea in a way that he thought is the right way to do that,” Domenicali said. “But I do believe there is a governance in place and the decision has to follow the process and the protocol that is in place.
“Mario is very vocal, Michael is, too. We need to respect that we may have a difference of opinions, but at the end of the day it is a matter of following the protocol and there is someone that is to make the final decision.”

There are many lies circulating about Trump-backed gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake and her incredible debate challenge for Democrat opponent Katie Hobbs. Lake offered to let Hobbs pick the moderator. She even offered to let Hobbs write the questions. But thus far, Hobbs and her corporate media backers have made excuses and turned unhinged attacks against Lake to diffuse the awkward reality that Hobbs is dodging the debate.
Lake went on Newsmax to discuss the situation. In her trademark no-holds-barred style, she unloaded on Hobbs. Watch:
.@katiehobbs REFUSES to debate me.
I can't blame her.
What does a twice-convicted Racist have to talk about?
Her support of Infanticide?
Her opposition to School Choice?
Her approval of Child Genital Mutilation?
Of course she's hiding. Her policies are horrifying. pic.twitter.com/klj7ZGG8wZ
— Kari Lake (@KariLake) August 24, 2022
Everything Lake said about Hobbs is documented and accurate. Is this why Democrat-loving corporate media is so bent on changing the subject? One comical editorial from an Arizona NBC affiliate claimed Hobbs was simply concerned about Lake spreading “lies” before mentioning deep in the article that the writer has been confrontational with Lake in the past. Call me new to journalism after three decades but I always thought disclosures of personal conflicts should be acknowledged up front, before the editorialized attacks.
The reality is this: Democrats and corporate media know they have a corrupt candidate who’s trying to take on someone the people of Arizona truly adore. They’re pulling out all stops to gaslight Arizonans into ignoring the facts in front of them.
Don’t get caught unprepared as things go south. Order a case of five life-saving antibiotics prescribed directly to you by board certified physicians. Use promo code “RUCKER10” for $10 off. Having an emergency supply of antibiotics is crucial before the crap hits the fan.

Lonsdale teen accepted to youth All-American bowling team
Adam Pankow learned to bowl by watching his father, Al Pankow, who learned to bowl by watching his father before him.
Now, the Lonsdale 18-year-old is nationally recognized.
“I was never the best at bowling when I started off,” said Adam. “I really had to work and be diligent and have a lot of conscientiousness to be able to go in and put the work in to be consistent with my routine and try to improve myself.”
Before his father, Al, got married to Cheryl, Adam’s mom, he was playing in leagues in the cities. One day, he heard about someone from New Prague who had bowled a Series 900.
A Series 900 is when someone bowls three back-to-back perfect games. He was friends with the owner of Strike Force Bowl in New Prague, Darin Pomije, so he gave him a call.
Al figured, if anyone knows who this person is, it’s Darin. Turns out, it was Darin who bowled three perfect 300 games in a row.
As time went on, Adam was growing up in Darin’s bowling joint. From as early as second grade, Adam was rolling the, “house balls,” down the lanes.
He became friends with Hunter Pomije, who made All-State his freshman year of high school. A friendly competition developed between Adam and Hunter, but they always supported and learned from each other.
“He’s also going to be bowling collegiately, too,” said Al. “I’m the high school coach for New Prague. So, it’s been really fun watching these two growing.”
Once Adam got to middle school, he had taken great interest in bowling, even participating in science fairs and conducting small experiments, explaining the subtle differences between lanes and how the coating of bowling balls can affect the way it travels down the lane.
These childhood experiences helped him hone his skills and realize how intricate the sport was. This was around the time that Adam feels he truly fell in love with the sport.
“It took some time with him,” said Al. “I never pushed really hard, because I wanted my kids to find their own thing. Then, it was probably seventh, eighth, ninth grade,”
Adam interjected.
“Seventh grade, I started getting into it, taking it a little more seriously,” said Adam. “I really only bowled one day a week. Then, in seventh grade, they let me join the high school team in Minnesota. So, I was on JV (junior varsity), but that’s when I really got into it a lot more and started practicing a lot more, working to get better.”
He began to see significant progress.
“Midway through my junior year is when I really started taking a big jump,” said Adam. “I started bowling more tournaments and tougher conditions. Trying to work on my game.”
In junior year, he bowled in Junior Gold, which is the national championship for youth bowlers. He placed 79 out of 1,200 bowlers across all 50 states. Then, senior year, he placed 169 of 1,200.
This summer, at just 18 years old, he was selected to be one of 10 youth bowlers to make the Dexter All-American Bowling Team through the United States Bowling Congress.
“It was pretty cool,” said Adam. “I didn’t think I was gonna get it for sure. I don’t know — I mean, I always had some confidence. It’s not like I thought I was the best bowler. I’m one of them, but I haven’t been as good for as long. Like, Hunter made All-State freshman year, and I was just barely on varsity.”
He displays humility about his own skills and admits that he had to work for them.
“School was never really a struggle for me,” he said. “I just kind of breezed through it. Bowling, on the other hand, was something I really had to work to get the results I wanted. So, that kind of taught me, when I do come across another struggle, I know how to handle it.”
He also said that his upbringing helped guide him to the point he’s at now. He and his father expressed their gratitude for the help he’s gotten.
“We’ve been very fortunate in terms of, you know, Darin and Julie (Darin’s wife) have done such a great job with the junior programs and supporting the high school team,” said Al. “Then, we have other people, like Greg Reiners, who owns A-Z Pro Shop up in Mounds View. He drills most of our equipment and has been instrumental in helping them get better as well.”
When COVID hit, Adam had more free time on his hands and began to explore other hobbies outside the lanes.
“He found a toy guitar down in the basement and started playing it,” said Al. “Then, a month or two later, he came upstairs and said, ‘Can I get a guitar?’ We got him one and he’s actually gotten really good at it.”
Adam’s extracurriculars, inside and outside of bowling, also helped set him apart for the All-American Team.
“I do try to help out with the high school team here,” said Adam. “Whenever I see young guys bowl, I try and recruit them, because I know how much fun I’ve had.”
When he’s teaching a beginner, he tells them to focus on their follow through. His extensive knowledge and natural skill are what Al says will take Adam far in the sport.
“He and the game have evolved,” said Al. “He’s got more natural talent. He’s by far better than me. Like I said, I’ll tell you that I’ve had a really good bowling career. I mean, I’ve averaged 220 for over 20 years. I’ve bowled 26 perfect games. If he sticks with it, he’ll pass that. He can go as far as he wants to take it.” | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2712082896798/lonsdale-teen-accepted-to-youth-all-american-bowling-team | 2022-08-25T03:52:19Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2712082896798/lonsdale-teen-accepted-to-youth-all-american-bowling-team | false | 2 |
Patrice Evra rips into Manchester United’s flops and points a finger at Erik ten Hag
Former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra has launched a blistering attack on the club’s faltering stars, as they prepare for Monday night’s showdown against Liverpool at Old Trafford.
United are rock bottom of the Premier League after losing their first two games of the season against Brighton and Brentford, with Evra refusing to hold back in his Betfair column.
"It's Deja Vu and I'm not surprised,” declared the Frenchman. “I see the same players, there's no confidence and I think we have got carried away with the pre-season. When the league starts things are totally different, sometimes I even prefer to have a bad pre-season, then it means you have to work hard, your legs are heavy. When you're too sharp in pre-season and you look good, that means you're not working hard enough.
“We blame the board, the manager, and many people. But what about the players? I always have so much respect for the players but now I think it's time for them to take some responsibility.
"The manner of the defeat against Brentford tells you that this team is traumatised. I'm not surprised by the result, you can see the body language. I don't ask those players to play amazing every game, but to fight. If they don't fight anymore it's because those players don't want to be there and they don't respect the badge. Let's be clear. Brentford were 4-0 up after 35 minutes. When I saw that I wasn't surprised, and that's the worst part. What did we expect after seeing the same midfield, the same team, what does anyone expect?
"People are comfortable, people are enjoying their money and their lives and that's why when it's like this, I've had enough. You can't take money off the club just to feel comfortable, you have to fight on the pitch. That's why I think the players have to look at themselves and question if they are destroying their legacy.
Erik ten Hag didn’t escape criticism from Evra, as he suggested the Dutchman has made mistakes by allowing the United crisis to gather momentum since his arrival as head coach this summer.
“I also blame Ten Hag, he's been fooled by all those players, the same way other managers have been fooled by them,” stated Evra.
"In pre-season they looked so good, and he would have been excited to make them even better, but no. Psychologically they are broken. Every time they face a difficult challenge, those players won't overcome it. It's been like this for years and it's the same thing, it doesn't even hurt anymore.
“People aren't blaming Ten Hag, but I'm sorry, he came in like 'I can do it', and he can't until those players leave. We have to rebuild everything and with those players we won't go anywhere. I'm sad because I never like to criticise the players, and when I see them I say 'hi' with a smile and they love and respect me. But now, I'm hurt so bad I have to tell the truth to them face to face.
“I don't know if Ten Hag wanted different players. I don't know if he wanted to get rid of some players but they couldn't because their salary was too high. That's why I'm angry with the players because it's down to them. It's down to them to say 'you know what, I've been here many years and I don't have the level anymore so I'm going to another team, I want half of my salary to get another team.'
“Ten Hag has come from the Dutch league, he wants to play from the back. You can't do that with the players he has. De Gea can't play from the back. He's brought in Lisandro Martinez and everyone has questioned his height. I played centre back, but I can jump and win the ball against Peter Crouch, so this is the difference.
"I never blame a player's height but you have to be able to jump. I remember myself, when we played against Bolton I was playing against Kevin Davies, that's when Sir Alex Ferguson said 'OK, Evra can play against Stoke, Wolves, against those big teams.' He could see I could handle big players, where the majority of their game was in the air, and I enjoyed it.
“Ten Hag needs to adapt and realise that the Premier League is different, physically you need to be ready. I struggled in my first six months. I thought I could come in, play nice and easy, but no. After that, all that summer I was in the gym getting stronger, getting ready to jump and win the ball. That's when I really started my United career. I'm still giving him time, it's too soon to say someone isn't up for the job. From my experience and what I've seen in the past, it doesn't look good for him.

“We could do more things with our money.”: Reactions to President Biden’s student loan debt relief plan
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WAFF) - The big news of student loan debt relief is something some thought would never happen.
“I was shocked,” said Jasmine Lawry of Alabama A&M. “Biden has been talking about this for a while, and I thought that he was joking, but to actually see it in action, I think is cool.”
The Department of Education will forgive up to 20-thousand dollars for Pell Grant recipients and up to 10-thousand dollars for non-Pell Grant recipients. Student loan debt in the nation stands at 1.6 trillion dollars with student loan debt having a disproportionate affect on African-American borrowers. Alabama A&M student Miya White says 10-thousand dollars could be just what people need for more disposable income.
“We could do more things with our money,” she said. “We could put it back into our families if we wanted to. I mean, we’re in a time where entrepreneurship is a big thing and generation wealth is now a big thing. And a lot of people of color especially are trying to achieve that.”
The debt relief won’t be treated as taxable income for federal income tax purposes. The Department of Education estimates that, among borrowers who are eligible for relief, 21% are 25 years and under. 44% are ages 26-39. More than a third are borrowers age 40 and up, including 5% of borrowers who are senior citizens.
Fellow Bulldog Amaya Hall says she’s heard the argument over fairness to those who have paid their loans, stating “I feel that their feeling is fair, that they had to struggle to pay back their loans, but at the same time, I feel like they should be relieved that their children, and so on and so forth, shouldn’t have to worry as hard about paying back those loans for school.”
For undergraduate loans, this three part plan will cut the amount that borrowers have to pay each month from 10 percent of their discretionary income to 5 percent.
For example, a typical single public school teacher with an undergraduate degree making 44-thousand a year would pay only 56 dollars a month on their loans with this new plan, compared to the almost 200 dollars they pay now under the most recent income-driven repayment plan.

Kentucky is one of the first states in the country to launch personalized coaching for district leaders and teachers through the department of education to further diversity, equity, inclusion and a sense of belonging in schools.
Starting this fall, 74 districts out of the state’s more than 170 will receive coaching over the next two years through engage2learn, an organization that offers personalized professional development that was contracted by the state education department.Typically, DEI training is offered at the district level. Education Week could not find examples of any other states offering this model of statewide, personalized training on equity issues.
The state’s initiative is set to get underway soon after state lawmakers passed a law that could potentially restrict conversations about race and racism in the classrooms. But educators and administrators said it remains to be seen whether the new law will affect the state’s pioneering coaching efforts.
The new program grows out of an anti-racism resolution passed by the state education department in 2020. It states that Kentucky’s public schools have a history of racial inequity and that people of color, particularly Black students and staff, “are often left out of the conversation and remain unheard.” Since then, the department has launched a range of tools housed withinits equity toolkit to helpdistricts and educators continue fostering equity in schools. One such tool is thecoaching initiative through engage2learn, which begins next month with assessments of each district’s needs.
“The ultimate goal is for us to have more equity-minded, equity-literate teachers, support staff, administrative staff, and state level staff in Kentucky,” said Thomas Tucker, the deputy commissioner and chief equity officer for the department of education. “Different schools are going to have different areas of improvement and that’s why it’s important that we begin with the needs assessment, and we’re at this point ready to begin the needs assessment stage.”
Starting in September, engage2learn will engage in one-on-one coaching conversations in districts. The organization will work with four to eight educators, depending on the district’s size, and including principals or central office administrators from each of the participating districts. Together, they will identify the areas of improvement and come up with a plan to meet the educators’ goals.
The process involves district leaders identifying areas in need of improvement to better serve all students. After the conversation with engage2learn, they’ll commit to certain changes in practice, and bring back evidence of that change to a next conversation. Districts will log their progress to keep track of the changes they’re making and how students are benefiting from these changes being applied in the classroom.
“Students are going to have a completely different learning experience,” said Shannon Buerk, the CEO and co-founder of engage2learn.
“Their experience in the classroom is going to be very different. It’s going to be more individualized, it’s going to be more strengths-based. And it’s going to be more inclusive.”
The department of education has also hired regional Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging coordinators who will work with both engage2learn and with districts to offer additional training, Tucker said.
‘We’re not restricting what teachers say’
The question is how the new initiative will fit with the state’s new law limiting lessons and conversations about race and racism in school. The legislature passed SB1, a 39-page, vaguely worded law that some free-speech advocates have labeled an “educational gag order.” But the state education department’s chief equity officer said the law would not impact the equity work that the agency is doing, including the personalized coaching.
“Unlike in some states where speech was restricted, free speech was not restricted in SB 1 here in Kentucky,” Tucker said. “We’re not restricting what teachers can teach or say…you’re not going to lose your license and we’re not going to be fined. it’s not punitive the way it is in some of our border states.”
Kentucky’s law does not include any punishments for violating it, and it is worded slightly differently than most other laws of its kind: It leaves out some of the language that has been used in other states against teachers; for example, it does not mandate that teachers are not allowed to make students feel “guilt or anguish” on the basis of their race and sex.
It also includes a long list of required teaching material including the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, and requires teachers to teach that an individual “does not bear responsibility for actions committed by other members of the same race or sex,” and that defining racial disparity solely on the legacy of slavery “is disruptive to the unification of our nation.“
“These laws are as restrictive or as nonrestrictive as the people enforcing them,” said Jeremy Young from PEN America, a free speech advocacy organization that has been tracking and studying these laws. Seventeen states have passed laws restricting conversations about race and racism since 2021. The state education department is “saying as the enforcers, they’re not going to enforce them in a restrictive way.”
Young said that while districts and teachers who participate in coaching and applying what they have learned to make classrooms more equitable might be subject to complaints launched against them by parents or community members, that’s a risk worth taking, especially since the agency in charge of enforcing the law is offering the training,
“There’s a goal, because [the law] is on the books, to keep it from becoming something more than it is,” Young said, “to keep it from mushrooming into administrative censorship and self-censorship based on things that aren’t even mentioned in the text.”
Buerk said she has seen pushback in the form of political opposition to equity work in other districts engage2learn works in and that it’s important during the coaching to talk educators through how to deal with that stress.
“It’s the inflammatory current state of politics that’s causing distress to teachers,” she said. “Teachers have always been about, for the most part, equitable outcomes for learners. That is why you get into the profession if you’re an educator,” | https://www.edweek.org/leadership/in-a-state-with-an-anti-crt-law-a-new-initiative-seeks-to-coach-schools-on-equity/2022/08 | 2022-08-25T04:14:01Z | https://www.edweek.org/leadership/in-a-state-with-an-anti-crt-law-a-new-initiative-seeks-to-coach-schools-on-equity/2022/08 | false | 1 |
The metaverse is seen by many companies as a great business opportunity and for new ways of working. Security provider Trend Micro, however, warns in a recent research report that cyber criminals could misuse the technology for their own purposes.
Security researchers predict that a kind of darknet structure could emerge there, similar to today's Internet. The machinations of the cyber gangsters could even take place in protected rooms that can only be reached from a specific physical location and via valid authentication tokens. This would make their underground marketplaces inaccessible to law enforcement agencies. In fact, it could be years before the police can operate effectively in the metaverse.
Likely metaverse threat scenarios
The researchers warn that the Darkverse could become a platform for cyber threats, including:
- Attackers target non-fungible tokens (NFTs), an increasingly popular means of defining property in the metaverse, for phishing, ransomware, fraud, and other attacks.
- Criminals use the metaverse to launder money using overpriced virtual real estate and NFTs.
- Criminal and state actors create manipulative narratives that reach vulnerable and receptive groups. Social engineering, propaganda and fake news have profound implications in a cyber-physical world.
- Privacy is redefined. Operators of metaverse-like rooms have unprecedented insight into the actions of the users. Privacy as we know it no longer exists there.
"The metaverse is a multi-billion-dollar, high-tech vision that will define the next internet age. While we don't know exactly how it's shaping up, we already need to start thinking about how it might be exploited by threat actors and how we can build our own to protect society in a meaningful way." comments Udo Schneider, IoT security evangelist at Trend Micro.
"In view of the high costs and legal challenges, law enforcement agencies will have difficulties monitoring the metaverse in general in the first few years," Schneider is convinced. He demands: "The IT security industry must intervene now." Otherwise, "a new Wild West would develop on our digital front door." | https://www.channelasia.tech/article/700969/researchers-warn-darkverse-emerging-from-metaverse/ | 2022-08-25T04:16:28Z | https://www.channelasia.tech/article/700969/researchers-warn-darkverse-emerging-from-metaverse/ | true | 4 |
More than 20 local former veterans and first responders will receive the help needed to prosper in life after service thanks to a share of $$90,491 provided through the ClubGRANTS program.
A share will go to the Beyond the Badge Career Transition Program which was created by business partners former Western Australia Police officer and NSW Ambulance Paramedic Sean Haran and former NSW Police officer Simon Bradstock.

"This program was born out of tragedy. Cole, a police officer, colleague and close friend of Simon's took his own life after leaving the service," Mr Haran said.
IN OTHER NEWS:
"I also lost a close friend, Peter, who struggled for many years before finally giving up the fight.
"Cole and Pete not only served as police officers but also as soldiers."
The organisation was one 14 local organisations to receive a share of money.
Being new to the region and only recently establishing support for veterans as well as first responders, Mr Haran said it is humbling to see such support.
"We are so humbled. We're kind of new to the region," he said.
"This grant will allow us to provide a new future for up to 20 former local veterans and first responders.
"These are people who have fought without thought as to their own safety. They have kept our country and our lives safe from harm."
But serving others can come with a price.
"For many who serve they are forced to leave their career as they can no longer carry out their duties due to physical and mental health issues," Mr Haran said.
"Many also chose to leave because they see a better future for their children and their families living civilian lives.
"This is where Beyond the Badge comes in. We've been providing our program for over 200 first responders since 2018- we're excited because this is our first regional programs, which makes this even more special."

Kenya can also excel in field events
What you need to know:
- Also integral to the sprouting of talented field athletes is access to modern training facilities to put them at par with their peers in developed countries.
- We will be exploring various ways of providing these athletes with world-class facilities and training, including partnerships with other federations and athletics clubs.
When Kenya and athletics are mentioned in the same sentence, the first picture that comes to mind is long-distance races.
Our reputation as the kings and queens of middle and long-distance athletics began as far back as 1964 when Wilson Kiprugut won bronze in the men’s 800m at Tokyo Olympics.
In the past two years, the country has also shown it is a hotbed of sprinters thanks to the exploits of Ferdinand Omanyala, the Commonwealth and African 100m champion.
Other sprinters, such as Dan Kiviasi, Samuel Imeta, Mike Mokamba, William Rayan and Wiseman Were have emerged to post impressive results on the international stage.
Not forgetting, Damaris Mutunga, who was the only sprinter to win a medal at the World Under-20 Championships in Cali, Colombia.
Entering a new dispensation, the next frontier for Kenya’s dominance in athletics will be the field events.
This season has been a year of firsts as Winnie Chepngetich made history as the first Kenyan to represent the country in a field event (long jump) at the Under-20 level.
Although she did not make it to the final round, she fought admirably on the same platform with experienced, superior athletes showing that we have a lot more to offer in terms of field athletes.
Compared to her competitors, Chepngetich did not have had the privilege to train for longer periods or use modern facilities.
With much more investment in her training, there is no doubt that the sky is the limit for this junior athlete.
It does not stop there. One of our core objectives as Athletics Kenya, going forward, is to unearth as many Chepngetichs as possible in field events.
As the chair of AK’s youth development sub-committee, our immediate task has been to evaluate our performance in Cali to identify ways in which we can improve in subsequent competitions and in all categories, including field events.
Part of our activities in the coming year is to scout every corner of this country to identify and nurture talents in the discus, javelin, pole vault, long jump, triple jump and high jump, among others.
Of course, this is a multi-sectoral affair that will entail partnerships with corporates, the government – via the ministries of sports and education— and parents.
Also integral to the sprouting of talented field athletes is access to modern training facilities to put them at par with their peers in developed countries.
We will be exploring various ways of providing these athletes with world-class facilities and training, including partnerships with other federations and athletics clubs. | https://nation.africa/kenya/sports/talkup/kenya-can-also-excel-in-field-events-3925150 | 2022-08-25T04:22:56Z | https://nation.africa/kenya/sports/talkup/kenya-can-also-excel-in-field-events-3925150 | false | 1 |
BUTTE — Butte High senior Hayla Hoffman leapt at the opportunity to be part of the Bulldogs' first flag football team.
"It means so much to me," she said at a Tuesday evening practice at Naranche Stadium. "When I first heard that we had flag football, I was like 'sign me up, where can I go?'"
Madison Seaholm, also a senior, talked about how excited she was to get a chance to play football beyond pick-up games.
"I've been playing football in my backyard forever so I was like 'heck yeah, I gotta get on this opportunity,'" she said.
Hoffman, Seaholm and about two dozen other girls in 8th through 12th grade will comprise Butte's inaugural team. The Montana High School Association approved a pilot program for the sport in 2021.
The Bulldogs will play their first game at Naranche on Saturday, Sept. 3.
Kalispell Glacier and Kalispell Flathead are also preparing to debut teams. The three programs will play a six-week, round robin schedule that will conclude with a championship game on Oct. 1 at Washington-Grizzly Stadium.
Butte's coach is Eric Zahler, a Washington native and former Montana Western football player. Zahler has only ever been around 11-Man football and was initially hesitant when asked to helm a version of football he had no experience with.
"It came to the point where they needed a coach, we needed to get the ball rolling and we needed to do it quickly," Zahler said. "We kind of took off running, held some open gyms this summer and here we are at the start of the season."

Refinance Lending Drops 36 Percent Quarterly, Outweighing Rise in Other Lending Activity;
Total Loans Down Another 13 Percent, Continuing Year-Long Decline;
Purchase Mortgages Up 8 Percent While Home-Equity Deals Increase 35 Percent
IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- ATTOM, a leading curator of real estate data nationwide for land and property data, today released its second-quarter 2022 U.S. Residential Property Mortgage Origination Report, which shows that 2.39 million mortgages secured by residential property (1 to 4 units) were originated in the second quarter of 2022 in the United States. That figure was down 13 percent from the first quarter of 2022 – the fifth quarterly decrease in a row – and down 40 percent from the second quarter of 2021 – the biggest annual drop since 2014.
The decline resulted from another double-digit downturn in refinance activity that more than outweighed increases in home-purchase and home-equity lending.
Overall, lenders issued $807.8 billion worth of mortgages in the second quarter of 2022. That was down quarterly by 11 percent and annually by 35 percent. As with the number of loans, the annual decrease in the dollar volume of loans marked the largest in eight years.
"Mortgage rates that have virtually doubled over the past year have decimated the refinance market and are starting to take a toll on purchase lending as well," said Rick Sharga, executive vice president of market intelligence at ATTOM. "The combination of much higher mortgage rates and rising home prices has made the notion of homebuying simply unaffordable for many prospective buyers, which threatens to drive loan volume down even further as we exit the spring and summer months."
The downturn in total activity resulted from just 941,000 residential loans getting rolled over into new mortgages during the second quarter of 2022 - a figure that was down 36 percent from the first quarter of 2022 and down 60 percent from a year earlier. Amid another rise in mortgage interest rates, refinance lending decreased for the fifth straight quarter, hitting a point that was just one-third of what it was in early 2021. The dollar volume of refinance loans was down 35 percent from the prior quarter and 56 percent annually, to $310.1 billion.
For the first time since early 2019, refinance activity in the second quarter did not represent the largest chunk of mortgages, dropping to 39 percent of all loans. That was off from 53 percent in the first quarter and from a recent peak of 66 percent in early 2021.
Purchase-loan activity, meanwhile, increased modestly as the 2022 Spring home-buying season kicked into gear. Despite ongoing home-price spikes, the number of purchase loans rose 8 percent quarterly, to 1.1 million, representing 46 percent of all borrowing. Still, that gain was unusually small for the months running from April through June and left the number of purchase mortgages down 21 percent annually. The dollar volume of loans taken out to buy residential properties rose to $431.4 billion, up 15 percent from the first quarter of this year, but still down 12 percent from the second quarter of last year.
The best-performing category by far in the second quarter was again home-equity lending. Home Equity Lines of Credit shot up 35 percent quarterly and 44 percent annually, to 341,704.
"Borrowers looking to tap into their equity should know that HELOC activity has been particularly strong among credit unions and community banks, along with a small but growing number of depository banks," Sharga noted. "While non-bank mortgage lenders may begin to more aggressively originate home equity loans, it's not likely they'll be active participants in the HELOC market."
The latest loan trends reflected a housing market in flux, pushed by competing forces, and continued a sharp break from a period when lending activity nearly tripled from early 2019 through early 2021.
Banks and other lenders issued 2,385,051 residential mortgages in the second quarter of 2022. That was down 13.2 percent from 2,747,324 in the first quarter of 2022 and down 40 percent from 3,976,656 in the second quarter of 2021. The annual decline marked the largest since the first quarter of 2014. The $807.8 billion dollar volume of loans in the second quarter was down 10.6 percent from $903.7 billion in the prior quarter and was 35 percent less than the $1.24 trillion lent in the second quarter of 2021.
Overall lending activity decreased from the first quarter to the second quarter of 2022 in 173, or 80 percent, of the 215 metropolitan statistical areas around the U.S. with a population of more than 200,000 and at least 1,000 total residential mortgages issued in the second quarter of 2022. Total lending activity was down at least 10 percent in 97 metros (45 percent). The largest quarterly decreases were in Knoxville, TN (down 59.9 percent); Roanoke, VA (down 52.7 percent); Charleston, SC (down 37 percent); St. Louis, MO (down 28.7 percent) and Philadelphia, PA (down 27.3 percent).
Aside from St. Louis and Philadelphia, metro areas with a population of least 1 million that had the biggest decreases in total loans from the first quarter to the second quarter of 2022 were New York, NY (down 25.9 percent); Detroit, MI (down 25.6 percent) and San Jose, CA (down 24.7 percent).
The biggest increases in the total number of mortgages from the first quarter to the second quarter of 2022 were in Atlantic City, NJ (up 32.5 percent); Erie, PA (up 18.8 percent); Peoria, IL (up 17.4 percent); Topeka, KS (up 15.6 percent) and Utica, NY (up 14.6 percent).
The only metro areas with a population of at least 1 million where total loan originations increased from the first to the second quarter were Honolulu, HI (up 9.9 percent); Kansas City, MO (up 3.4 percent) and Rochester, NY (up 3.2 percent).
Lenders issued 941,111 residential refinance mortgages in the second quarter of 2022 – the smallest count since the second quarter of 2019.
The latest number was down 35.9 percent from 1,469,237 in first quarter of 2022 and 59.7 percent from 2,335,808 in the second quarter of 2021. The $310.1 billion dollar volume of refinance loans in the second quarter of 2022 was down 35.1 percent from $477.5 billion in the prior quarter and down 56.1 percent from $706.2 billion in the second quarter of 2021.
Refinancing activity decreased from the first quarter to the second quarter of 2022 in 213, or 99 percent, of the 215 metropolitan statistical areas around the country with enough data to analyze. Activity dropped quarterly by at least 25 percent in 162 metro areas (75 percent) and at least 35 percent in 94 metros (44 percent). The largest quarterly decreases were in Roanoke, VA (down 65.8 percent); Knoxville, TN (down 64.4 percent); San Jose, CA (down 58.5 percent); Oxnard, CA (down 56.3 percent) and Charleston, SC (down 55.3 percent).
Aside from San Jose, metro areas with a population of least 1 million that had the biggest decreases in refinance activity from the first quarter to the second quarter of this year were Portland, OR (down 53.2 percent); San Francisco, CA (down 52.9 percent); Sacramento, CA (down 51.8 percent) and Chicago, IL (down 49.8 percent).
The only metro areas where refinance lending increased from the first quarter to the second quarter were Atlantic, City, NJ (up 23.7 percent) and Utica, NY (up 8.5 percent).
Lenders originated 1,102,236 purchase mortgages in the second quarter of 2022. That was up 7.6 percent from 1,024,109 in the first quarter. But the increase was the smallest second-quarter gain since at least 2000. As a result, purchase lending remained down 21.5 percent from 1,403,287 in the second quarter of 2021. The $431.4 billion dollar volume of purchase loans in the second quarter of 2022 was up 15.1 percent from $374.9 billion in the prior quarter, but down 11.8 percent from $489.2 billion a year earlier.
Residential purchase-mortgage originations increased from the first quarter of 2022 to the second quarter of 2022 in 173 of the 215 metro areas in the report (80 percent), but were still down annually in 194 metro areas (90 percent).
The largest quarterly increases were in Madison, WI (up 60.8 percent); Honolulu, HI (up 55.8 percent); Lafayette, IN (up 55.5 percent); Champaign, IL (up 52.6 percent) and Jackson, MS (up 49.3 percent).
Aside from Honolulu, metro areas with a population of at least 1 million that saw the biggest quarterly increases in purchase originations in the second quarter of 2022 were Boston, MA (up 41.7 percent); Seattle, WA (up 33.6 percent); Richmond, VA (up 31.9 percent) and Birmingham, AL (up 29.9 percent).
Residential purchase-mortgage lending decreased most from the first quarter to the second quarter of 2022 in Knoxville, TN (down 52 percent); Roanoke, VA (down 37.3 percent); Salinas, CA (down 18.1 percent); Ogden, UT (down 16.9 percent) and Boise, ID (down 13.6 percent).
Metro areas with a population of at least 1 million where purchase originations decreased most from the first to the second quarter of 2022 were New York, NY (down 12 percent); Los Angeles, CA (down 11 percent); St. Louis, MO (down 10.7 percent); Philadelphia, PA (down 10.7 percent) and Detroit, MI (down 9.5 percent).
A total of 341,704 home-equity lines of credit (HELOCs) were originated on residential properties in the second quarter of 2022, up 34.5 percent from 253,978 during the prior quarter and up 43.8 percent from 237,561 in the second quarter of 2021. HELOC activity increased for the fourth time in five quarters after decreasing in each of the prior six quarters. The $66.3 billion second-quarter 2022 volume of HELOC loans was up 29.4 percent from $51.2 billion in the first quarter of 2022 and 39.8 percent from $47.4 billion in the second quarter of last year, hitting the highest point in almost three years.
HELOCs comprised 14.3 percent of all second-quarter 2022 loans, more than double the 6 percent level from a year earlier.
HELOC mortgage originations increased from the first quarter to the second quarter of 2022 in 94 percent of the metro areas analyzed. The largest increases in metro areas with a population of at least 1 million were in Fresno, CA (up 82.9 percent); Riverside, CA (up 80.9 percent); Buffalo, NY (up 53.2 percent); San Diego, CA (up 52 percent) and Los Angeles, CA (up 51.5 percent).
The only quarterly decrease in HELOCs among metro areas with a population of at least 1 million was in St. Louis, MO (down 11.7 percent).
Mortgages backed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) rose as a portion of all lending for the third straight quarter, accounting for 255,544, or 10.7 percent, of all residential property loans originated in the second quarter of 2022. That was up from 10.4 percent in the first quarter of 2022 and 9.6 percent in the second quarter of 2021.
Residential loans backed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) accounted for 122,483, or 5.1 percent, of all residential property loans originated in the second quarter of 2022, down from 5.6 percent in the previous quarter and 6.8 percent a year earlier. VA lending as a portion of all loans dropped for the seventh straight quarter.
The national median down payment on homes purchased with financing increased during the second quarter of 2022 after declining in the prior two quarters, while the typical amount borrowed rose to another new high. At the same time, the ratio of median down payments to home prices went up.
The median down payment on single-family homes and condos purchased with financing in the second quarter of 2022 increased to $35,000, up 34.7 percent from $25,980 in the previous quarter and up 34.6 percent from $26,000 in the second quarter of 2021. Among homes purchased with financing in the second quarter of 2022, the median loan amount was $320,000. That was up 8.1 percent from the prior quarter and up 12.3 percent from the same period in 2021.
The typical down payment in the second quarter of this year represented 9.1 percent of the purchase price, up from 7.4 percent in the prior quarter and 7.5 percent a year earlier.
ATTOM analyzed recorded mortgage and deed of trust data for single-family homes, condos, town homes and multi-family properties of two to four units for this report. Each recorded mortgage or deed of trust was counted as a separate loan origination. Dollar volume was calculated by multiplying the total number of loan originations by the average loan amount for those loan originations.

Inflation's harsh realities on display as Fed officials meet
JACKSON HOLE, Wyoming (AP) — A half-hour drive or so from the resort where the high priests of international finance — leading economists and central bank officials — have convened in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, to discuss the world’s economic challenges, Ash Hermanowski oversees the distribution of about 1,200 free meals a day.
At a food bank called Jackson Cupboard, Hermanowski hands out meals from a commercial garage after being forced from a previous site by a malfunctioning sprinkler. The food bank couldn’t afford any other place in town.
Just across the street, The Glenwood, a collection of townhomes that will sell for millions, is nearing completion. "Unparalleled luxury," its website says, in a “truly relaxing oasis.”
It’s the “ultimate irony,” Hermanowski said. “The staff and I, we talk about it all the time. We all struggle to live here, and they’re building high-end residences. That dichotomy exists all over town, but people refuse to see it.”
As the Federal Reserve’s annual economic symposium gets under way Thursday at a lodge in Grand Teton National Park, some of the very problems Fed officials are grappling with — high inflation, soaring rental costs and home prices and wide economic inequalities — can be found near the idyllic mountain setting.
On Friday, Fed Chair Jerome Powell will deliver a speech that could signal how high or how fast the central bank may raise interest rates in the coming months. Powell's remarks will be scrutinized by Wall Street traders and economists and could potentially cause sharp swings in financial markets.
In its drive to tame the worst inflation bout the nation has endured in four decades, the Powell Fed has embarked on its fastest series of rate hikes since the early 1980s. The Fed is trying to slow the economy just enough to cool inflation without causing a recession — a notoriously delicate task.
Inflation is particularly high in the town of Jackson and the surrounding Teton County, which, even before the pandemic erupted two years ago, was the wealthiest and most unequal place in the nation. (Jackson Hole is the name of the broader valley.) The state of Wyoming has calculated that the cost of living in the county at the end of 2021 was 68% higher than in the rest of the state — with housing costs 130% higher.
At the food bank, Hermanowski says, demand has escalated from a year ago as surging food and gas prices have sapped the budgets of their clients. Roughly 85% of the food bank's recipients have a job, often more than one, said Sharel Lund, executive director of one22, a nonprofit that includes Jackson Cupboard.
Like many resort towns, Jackson has always been expensive. But the pandemic turbocharged the disparities that have widened the gap between the wealthy and everyone else. Real estate prices soared as many affluent families, seeking to escape crowded cities, moved into the Jackson area or spent more time at vacation homes they already owned.
With many office professionals able to work remotely, the area's natural beauty became an alluring draw. Wyoming's low-tax status has also proved appealing to high-income earners.
Jackson, a town of about 25,000 people year-round, still retains its aura as an old Western town, with its archways made from elk antlers around the town square. The square is lined with a “Cowboy Bar” and an old-timey “Five and Dime” shop.
Yet wedged in among such outlets are symbols of the increasingly luxe Jackson: High-end jewelry shops and a Swarvoski crystal store that is selling a bald eagle figurine for $9,600.
“We definitely see both sides of it here,” said Hannah Cooley, executive director of Hole Food Rescue, a nonprofit that redistributes leftover food from restaurants and bakeries. “You have the ultra-wealthy with their massive houses. And then you have three immigrant families crammed into a one-bedroom apartment.”
Already-high home prices and rents in Jackson have jumped further since the pandemic, just as they have nationally, a particular hardship for people who work as housekeepers, chefs and waiters at resorts. The median price for a home: $3 million, twice what it was five years ago. The average apartment rent in Teton County jumped 12.4% last year, to $2,780, according to state government data.
Jonathan Schechter, a member of Jackson's Town Council, says that according to the most recent IRS data, the average income in Teton County in 2019 was $312,442, highest in the nation and nearly 50% above the second-highest, Manhattan.
April Norton, director of the Jackson/Teton County Affordable Housing Department, points to a major obstacle to home construction: 97% of the county's land is federally owned and can't be developed. Compounding the squeeze, retiring workers who bought homes at affordable prices decades ago are now selling them for eye-popping prices that many current workers, even higher-income professionals, can't afford.
Norton's in-laws recently retired from jobs as an engineer and accountant in Jackson. Having built their own home in the 1970s, they will eventually be able to sell it for a price far above what current engineers or accountants could afford. A neighbor just sold a home for $8 million.
The county is trying multiple approaches to address the shortage of affordable housing. They include building homes available only to people who work locally and with caps on price appreciation. Such “deed-restricted” homes have still sold for more than $700,000, evidence of the intense demand and limited supply.
Still, a county report shows there is a waitlist of roughly 1,500 families seeking affordable housing, up from 1,100 last year.
The housing crunch has exacerbated worker shortages that are plaguing the county, a problem being felt by employers across the nation. Norton said the school system lost 60 teachers last year, in part because of a lack of housing. Many workers, including nurses and services workers, are stuck commuting from places like Victor, Idaho, a roughly 45-minute drive over the 8,500 foot Teton pass, which is treacherous for much of the winter.
“Retention of staff is the No. 1 challenge for businesses here,” said Anna Olson, president of the Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce. Some businesses, she said, are buying housing and providing it to workers at below-market rents. There's also a tax initiative on the ballot this November, which, if approved, will provide about $100 million to support more housing development.
As more wealthy people have moved to Jackson, they have often sought out landscapers, nannies and other service workers, Norton said, adding to the demand for jobs and intensifying the shortage of affordable housing.
On Wednesday, the local newspaper, the Jackson Hole News & Guide, featured eight pages of help-wanted ads but only a half-page of listings for housing. Many were for temporary winter rentals, because residents often leave the area to escape the cold.
One two-bedroom condo was asking $5,250 a month.

Washington [US], August 25 (ANI): American actor and comedian Regina Hall shared her reaction to Will Smith's apology for the Oscars slap incident.
According to People Magazine reports, during a red-carpet appearance for her upcoming movie 'Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul,' Hall shared, "I think it's a tough thing and I know it's a difficult road."
She added, "The first step is he apologized. How people see it, it's up to them ... I know that wasn't easy."
"Redemption." "The whole point is we can evolve from maybe where we are," Hall continued.
Hall, who co-starred with Jada Pinkett Smith, Smith's wife in the 2017 comedy 'Girls Trip', also co-hosted the Oscars in March alongside comedians Wanda Sykes and Amy Schumer, as per People reports.
During the Oscars 2022 ceremony, Smith punched presenter and comedian Chris Rock on the Dolby Theatre stage after he made a G.I. Jane joke about Jada Pinkett's baldness.
After the incident on July 29, Smith took to his Instagram handle and shared an emotional video explaining why he didn't apologise to Rock after accepting the best actor award for his performance in "King Richard" shortly after he slapped the comedian for making a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith's short haircut.
"I was fogged out by that point," Smith said, explaining why it took so long to offer Rock an apology. "It's all fuzzy. I've reached out to Chris and the message that came back is that he's not ready to talk. And when he is, he will reach out."
Smith expressed his guilt for his actions, calling them "unacceptable." The actor has stated that he reacted violently because Rock's joke alluded to Pinkett Smith's hair loss due to alopecia. It's a struggle that Pinkett Smith has previously addressed publicly.
"That was one of the things about that moment. I just didn't realize," Smith reflects. "I wasn't thinking but many people got hurt in that moment. So I want to apologize to Chris' mother. I want to apologize to Chris' family. Specifically, Tony Rock. We had a great relationship. You know, Tony rock was my man and this is probably irreparable."
"I made a choice on my own, from my own experiences from my history with Chris. Jada had nothing to do [with it]," Smith said, before acknowledging the "heat" his wife and kids have taken.
Smith also addresses how his actions affected his fellow nominees towards the end of the video, saying, "I won because you voted for me."
"It really breaks my heart to have stolen and tarnished your moment," Smith said, pointing to Questlove's reaction, who took the Oscars stage right after the incident for winning best documentary for his project Summer of Soul." "Sorry isn't really sufficient."
He takes on what he would say to folks who looked up to him prior to the Oscars event as he concludes the video. Smith says he dislikes "when I let people down" and calls disappointing people "my central trauma."
"So it hurts. It hurts me psychologically and emotionally to know I didn't live up to people's image and impression of me," he continues, adding that he's "deeply remorseful" but trying to do so "without being ashamed" of himself. "I'm a human and I made a mistake, and I'm trying not to think of myself as a piece of shit."
"I would say to those people, I know it was confusing. I know it was shocking. But I promise you, I am deeply devoted and committed to putting light and love and joy into the world," Smith offers as his ending note. "And if you hang on, I promise we'll be able to be friends again."
After the incident, Smith has apologised three times in various forms.
The slap led to months of fallout for the Best Actor winner, who resigned from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and Smith was banned from appearing for 10 years.
Wanda Sykes during a May comedy-tour stop in Orlando, Florida, shared the moments from the ceremony as she was sitting in the audience. She stated, "I'm still traumatized. I can't talk about it. I get emotional," as per People.
The star continued, referring to how Smith remained seated during the ceremony before later winning the Best Actor award, "I couldn't believe he was still sitting there, like an a--h---." "Shouldn't you be sitting there with a lawyer or LAPD, motherf-----?"
Amy Schumer also shared her thoughts about the slap. She stated, "It was just a f---ing bummer."
"All I can say is that it was really sad, and I think it says so much about toxic masculinity. It was really upsetting," Schumer added.

HOUSTON (AP) — Jose Altuve hit a leadoff homer and Trey Mancini added a two-run shot to back up another quality start by Framber Valdez, and the Houston Astros held on for a 5-3 win over the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday night.
The Twins lost their fifth in a row.
Valdez (13-4) allowed two hits and one run with eight strikeouts in seven innings for his 21st consecutive quality start. That moved him past Mike Scott (20) for the longest streak in franchise history. It’s the longest such streak in the majors since Jacob deGrom made 26 in a row from May 18, 2018-April 3, 2019.
The Twins' hitters struggled for a second straight game., managing just two hits in the first eight innings a night after being no-hit by Justin Verlander through six innings of a 4-2 loss.
Down 5-1, Minnesota tried to rally in the ninth. Gio Urshela singled and scored on a double by Luis Arráez that was misplayed for an error by left fielder Mauricio Dubón.
Rafael Montero then walked pinch-hitter Nick Gordon before the Twins scored another run when pinch-hitter Jake Cave reached on a grounder to second that Altuve couldn't handle. But Max Kepler lined into a double play and pinch-hitter Gary Sanchez grounded out to end it.
Altuve put the Astros up early when he sent the first pitch from Dylan Bundy (7-6) into the seats in left field to make it 1-0.
Sandy Leon walked to start the Twins third, Jorge Polanco doubled and Carlos Correa had a sacrifice fly.
Martín Maldonado doubled to open Houston’s third before advancing to third on a single by Altuve, who was thrown out trying to stretch the hit into a double. The Astros regained the lead when Yuli Gurriel had a sacrifice fly.
Yordan Alvarez hit a double with one out in the Houston sixth on a ball that left fielder Tim Beckham deflected on a failed attempt at a diving catch. A wild pitch and a sacrifice fly by Alex Bregman made it 3-1.
Kyle Tucker then extended his hitting streak to a career-best 16 games with a double and Mancini made it 5-1 with his shot to the seats in right field.
INJURIES
Twins: RHP Cole Sands was placed on the injured list after taking a line drive off his right elbow Tuesday. ... LHP Devin Smeltzer was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul to take his spot on the roster.
Astros: Closer Ryan Pressly was not available for a second straight game because of neck stiffness. ... CF Chas McCormick left the game in the seventh inning with what appeared to be an injured right pinky after sliding back on a pickoff attempt.

Retired park ranger saves boy, 9, after family truck sinks
SUMMIT COUNTY, Utah (KSTU) - A 9-year-old boy is on the road to recovery after nearly drowning in a Utah reservoir, if not for a retired park ranger who rescued him.
Paxton, 9, was at Smith and Morehouse Reservoir near Oakley, Utah, on Monday with family members. As the family was unloading kayaks from their truck, the vehicle, with Paxton and two other kids inside, rolled into the water.
“We’re not sure what happened at that point. The truck started to roll down. They tried to get the kids out of the car,” said Paxton’s aunt, Kelley Carpenter.
Two of the kids, a 9-year-old boy and 2-year-old girl, got out safely, but Paxton was still in the truck when it sank.
Joe Donnell, a retired park ranger who was kayaking nearby, made several attempts to get to the boy before he was able to rescue him, according to Carpenter.
“We’ve heard that the gentleman had to dive down about seven times before he finally grabbed some clothing and was able to get Paxton out,” Carpenter said.
Paxton was underwater for more than 10 minutes. He was airlifted to Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City, where he was placed on life support in the intensive care unit. His aunt went to visit him Tuesday.
“The doctors say that he is doing well and is able to respond to some of their tasks. They did not think that he would survive,” Carpenter said. “Every time I spoke to him, he responded to me, whether that be squeezing my hand, shaking his head ‘yes’.”
Before the incident, Carpenter says Paxton had just started fourth grade at New Hope Academy in Lehi. She describes him as funny, energetic and loving.
“He’s very outgoing, loves to be around all his nieces and nephews, loves playing ‘Fortnite’ with us,” she said.
Carpenter is optimistic Paxton will continue making progress in his recovery.
“He’s going to keep fighting, as long as all of us,” she said.
The family is hoping that when Paxton feels up to it, he can be reunited with the retired park ranger who saved his life.

David Dalton obituary
In 1969, in the barren scrublands of Los Angeles, David Dalton found himself at the centre of an imploding utopia. The Swinging Sixties were drawing to a sinister close and the rock’n’roll photographer and Rolling Stone journalist had become something of a cultural spokesman for the hippie movement.
One day Derek Taylor, press officer to the Beatles, invited Dalton to Zuma Beach in California to photograph Brian Wilson, the Beach Boys musician who had recently been released from a psychiatric hospital after suffering a nervous breakdown. When Dalton arrived, Wilson was refusing to co-operate with the swarm of journalists surrounding him.
“He was sitting at the edge of the ocean, playing with the stones,” he recalled.

At least two people will miss an already crowded race for Oakland mayor because the city clerk's office gave out inaccurate materials to potential candidates, city officials admitted Wednesday.
The materials told potential candidates they had until Aug. 17 to file completed paperwork. But after the clerk's staff gave out the materials, they realized the Aug. 17 deadline applied only to the two City Council races this year.
The deadline for the mayor's race, clerk staff realized, was Aug. 12 based on the elections code. The clerk's staff did not tell the candidates with pending paperwork until Aug. 12 that they had only until the end of the day to file.
"While we regret the confusion this has caused, the candidate filing deadline in question is prescribed by the California State Elections Code," said Assistant City Clerk Britney Davis. "Neither the City Clerk nor any other city official has discretion to alter or waive state elections law, including authority to extend the filing deadline."
Nine candidates have qualified to run for mayor this fall in Oakland, including City Council president pro tem Sheng Thao, and City Councilmembers Loren Taylor and Treva Reid, according to a list posted Monday on the City Clerk's website.
The names of the candidates who didn't make the ballot were not available on Wednesday evening.
The only recourse for the candidates who didn't make the ballot is the court system, according to the California Secretary of State's office.
Monesha "MJ" Carter is another potential candidate who may be missing the mayor's race because of the error. Carter was able to file on time, but the Alameda County Registrar of Voter's office deemed her signatures insufficient.
Carter believes that perhaps some signatures were invalid and if she had until Aug. 17, she would have collected enough valid signatures.
"I just want to be on the ballot," said Carter, a teacher in Oakland and Howard University graduate hoping to join the ranks of other Howard graduates who are mayors, on Tuesday.
Two of the nine candidates who qualified for the ballot spoke out on Twitter Tuesday evening, saying that they also thought the deadline was Aug. 17.
"Like many other candidates, I was given the incorrect filing date for my filing and had to turn in my required paperwork at the last minute in order to qualify," Thao said on Twitter. "I am deeply troubled that this same thing happened to other candidates who could not make it onto the ballot in time."
Taylor said prior to his filing he was advised "that the last day for filing in the Mayor's race was August 17th," he tweeted.
"I believe these candidates made their plans for their candidate filing in reliance upon this bad information, and should not be punished for it," Taylor said. "My hope is that a path forward is found for these candidates to qualify for the ballot." | https://www.nbcbayarea.com/decision-2022/oakland-mayors-race-city-clerk-error/2985884/ | 2022-08-25T04:50:19Z | https://www.nbcbayarea.com/decision-2022/oakland-mayors-race-city-clerk-error/2985884/ | true | 3 |

CORIGAP is a project coming from a 10-year initiative of the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), sponsored by the Swiss Agency for Cooperation and Development (SDC). The project aims at increasing food security, promoting gender equality, reducing poverty via yield improvement and the sustainability of wet rice cultivation systems in the six partner countries of Vietnam, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Indonesia, and China.
Taking part in this project, farmers of the above nations actively reduce pesticides while using the seed rate, fertilizer, and irrigation water more logically, resulting in significant drops of expenses. In addition, they are able to decrease post-harvest loss as well as greenhouse gas emissions. These mean environmentally sustainable production.
The project develops a framework for sustainable cooperation among partners, many national or even regional programs about optimal rice management practices for the sake of thousands of farmer groups. These are achieved through capacity building for the six partner countries, followed by a strong collaboration for yield increase and sustainable income.
Another meaningful achievement is the replication of sensible management practices for production, mechanization, and post-harvest of wet rice in order to minimize loss and propagandize wise farming practices to farmers and stakeholders in the value chain.
"IRRI believes that technology application and mechanization in the post-harvest stage can considerably increase the rice yield as well as decreasing greenhouse gas emissions, becoming the foundation for great resilience”, said Dr. Cao Duc Phat – Chairman of IRRI’s Board of Directors. | https://www.sggpnews.org.vn/business/vietnam-finds-ways-to-reduce-postharvest-loss-of-rice-101434.html | 2022-08-25T04:55:44Z | https://www.sggpnews.org.vn/business/vietnam-finds-ways-to-reduce-postharvest-loss-of-rice-101434.html | true | 1 |

“Most events are headlined by the same faces despite the abundance in voices with a great potential to also rise to the top and also, we appreciate that young people have a unique taste that has often been overlooked by the mainstream.,” he said.
“It’s this unique appetite that we are seeking to quench through the AMPLIFAYA festival. With the advent of the internet, social media, there is an emergence of new subcultures and trends that inform and appeal to the youthful audiences.
“There is also a sharp rise in new amazing voices and talents yearning for a platform and opportunity to showcase, express and grow.”

Jail will be tough for former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak: Anwar Ibrahim
The prison will be a stark contrast to former Malaysian prime minister Najib Razak’s seven-star hotel lifestyle as Malaysia begins to find “closure” from the scandal that rocked the country for years, Malaysia’s opposition leader said. , Anwar Ibrahim.
Najib, who was accused of his role in embezzling billions of dollars from Malaysian sovereign wealth fund 1MDB, lost his appeal against his prison sentence on Monday.
Malaysia’s highest court upheld his 12-year prison sentence, which began at Kajang Prison, south of the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur, on Tuesday.
“I think this is a good start. And it reforms and makes Malaysia mature as a vibrant democracy with strong institutions,” Anwar told CNBC’s “Squawk Box Asia” on Tuesday.
“Political leaders, political elites who continue to torture without [sic] impunity, they think they are invincible and above the law, [but] Now the message is very clear,” he said. [the people]who decided, that’s why we have to continue”.
A crime refers to a fraudulent or dishonest act or scheme.
Former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak arrives at the federal court in Putrajaya on August 15, 2022. The country’s highest court upheld his 12-year jail sentence, which began at Kajang Prison, south of the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur. Tuesday.

He urged Malaysians to vote for “incorruptible” leaders when they go to the elections. Malaysia must call elections by September 2023.
Najib was at the center of the scandal which has been called the world’s biggest case of kleptocracy along with the alleged mastermind of the scam, Malaysian businessman Jho Low and Goldman Sachs bankers.
About $700 million was allegedly transferred to Najib’s accounts, and losses from 1MDB reportedly exceeded $4 billion. Najib continues to deny any wrongdoing.
Anwar himself was at the center of various political feuds. He was the country’s deputy prime minister in the 1990s and was controversially ousted by then-prime minister Mahathir Mohamad before being jailed for sodomy and corruption.
His conviction was overturned and he was released in 2004. He was jailed again for sodomy in 2014 before receiving a royal pardon in 2018 and being released.
Anwar said Najib would have better prison conditions than he himself had in the 1990s, when he was denied books or family visits, but jail would be difficult for the former prime minister, the first in the country to be jailed.
“From what I understand from my senior colleagues, the prison officers, he will be given somewhat better treatment, he will be given some facilities,” he told CNBC.
“But still, prison is not a bed of roses, it is difficult, especially compared to his current lifestyle in a seven-star hotel, you will have to experience something difficult and difficult.”
Najib and his wife Rosmah Mansor were accused of living a lavish lifestyle at the expense of 1MDB. Court hearings revealed they spent thousands of dollars on hotels and expensive jewelry.
Any attempt by Najib to challenge his sentence through further reviews will be difficult, Anwar said, referring to his earlier failed attempts.
Najib may also try for a pardon from the Malaysian king, but given the financial size of the 1MDB scandal, it may be a difficult road, Anwar added.
It is important that the Malaysian authorities continue to pursue justice in this scandal, including recovering funds stolen from the public purse, Anwar said, when asked if others in the case, such as businessman Low and Najib’s wife Rosmah, should also face justice.
In 2018, Malaysian police raided the homes of Najib and Rosmah as part of the 1MDB investigation and found 284 boxes containing luxury handbags and 72 bags filled with jewellery, money, watches and other valuables.
Anwar also said it was unlikely that Najib would be able to rally support or influence the outcome of future elections behind bars.
So far, those who supported him as seen in court on Monday during his court appearance were mostly from his constituencies, Anwar said.

DEARBORN — The Dearborn Department of Public Health (DPH) announced a new program to provide free menstrual products to all Dearborn high schools for the upcoming school year.
The initiative is part of a DPH partnership with Los Angeles-based The Pad Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated to “creating and cultivating local and global partnerships to end period stigma,” the department said in a press release on Wednesday.
As part of the partnership,the DPH will supply all three public high schools with pads at no cost to the city’s residents. The high schools — Fordson, Edsel Ford and Dearborn High — have a combined student population of roughly 6,500.
“Providing free menstrual products to Dearborn students is a crucial and long overdue intervention to ensure that menstruation does not serve as a barrier to a dignified education,” Dearborn Director of Public Health Ali Abazeed said. “Menstruation is a fact of life. Menstrual products are a medical necessity and should be treated as such.”
DPH Fellow Caitlin Sohrabi led the team of summer fellows who launched this intervention
“This intervention is about providing medically necessary products where they are needed and signaling to young girls across the city that this department cares about your health and well-being,” Sohrabi said.
According to Abazeed, the initiative is part of the DPH’s commitment to promoting the health of Dearborn residents wherever they live, work, play and learn.
National figures show that 23 percent of students have struggled to afford period products, while 70 percent of students felt their school environment made them feel self-conscious about their periods. Four in five menstruating students said they have either missed class time or know someone who missed class time because they did not have access to period products.
“We are deeply grateful for the collaboration of the Dearborn Public Schools (DPS), who have been supportive of this effort from the start,” Abazeed said. “We are committed to working with our partners at DPS to promote healthy and safe learning environments for all students.”
The DPH is expected to begin supplying the schools with pads at the launch of the academic school year in late August. | https://www.arabamericannews.com/2022/08/24/dearborn-department-of-public-health-to-provide-free-menstrual-products-to-high-schools/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=dearborn-department-of-public-health-to-provide-free-menstrual-products-to-high-schools | 2022-08-25T05:04:38Z | https://www.arabamericannews.com/2022/08/24/dearborn-department-of-public-health-to-provide-free-menstrual-products-to-high-schools/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=dearborn-department-of-public-health-to-provide-free-menstrual-products-to-high-schools | false | 1 |

BALTIMORE (AP) — On a hot, humid East Coast day this summer, a massive container ship pulled into the Port of Baltimore loaded with sheets of plywood, aluminum rods and radioactive material — all sourced from the fields, forests and factories of Russia.
President Joe Biden promised to “inflict pain” and deal “a crushing blow” on Vladimir Putin through trade restrictions on commodities like vodka, diamonds and gasoline in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine six months ago. But hundreds of other types of unsanctioned goods worth billions of dollars, including those found on the ship bound for Baltimore from St. Petersburg, Russia, continue to flow into U.S. ports.
The Associated Press found more than 3,600 shipments of wood, metals, rubber and other goods have arrived at U.S. ports from Russia since it began launching missiles and airstrikes into its neighbor in February. That’s a significant drop from the same period in 2021 when about 6,000 shipments arrived, but it still adds up to more than $1 billion worth of commerce a month.
In reality, no one involved actually expected trade to drag to a halt after the invasion. Banning imports of certain items would likely do more harm to those sectors in the U.S. than in Russia.
“When we impose sanctions, it could disrupt global trade. So our job is to think about which sanctions deliver the most impact while also allowing global trade to work,” Ambassador Jim O’Brien, who heads the State Department’s Office of Sanctions Coordination, told the AP.
Experts say the global economy is so intertwined that sanctions must be limited in scope to avoid driving up prices in an already unstable market.
Also, U.S. sanctions don’t exist in a vacuum; layers of European Union and U.K bans result in convoluted trade rules that can be confusing to buyers, sellers and policymakers.
For example, the Biden administration and the EU released separate lists of Russian companies that cannot receive exports, but at least one of those companies — which supplies the Russian military with metal to make fighter jets currently dropping bombs in Ukraine –- is still selling millions of dollars of metal to American and European firms, AP found.
While some U.S. importers are sourcing alternative materials elsewhere, others say they have no choice. In the case of wood imports, Russia’s dense birch forests create such hard, strong timber that most American wooden classroom furniture, and much home flooring, is made from it. Shipping containers of Russian items — groats, weightlifting shoes, crypto mining gear, even pillows — arrive at U.S. ports almost every day.
A breakdown of imported goods from Russia shows some items are clearly legal and even encouraged by the Biden administration, like the more than 100 shipments of fertilizer that have arrived since the invasion. Now-banned products like Russian oil and gas continued to arrive in U.S. ports long after the announcement of sanctions due to “wind down” periods, allowing companies to complete existing contracts.
In some cases, the origin of products shipped out of Russian ports can be difficult to discern. U.S. energy companies are continuing to import oil from Kazakhstan through Russian ports, even though that oil is sometimes mixed with Russian fuel. Trade experts warn that Russian suppliers are unreliable, and opaque corporate structures of most major Russian companies make it difficult to determine whether they have ties to the government.
“It is a general rule: when you have sanctions, you’ll have all kinds of murky schemes and illicit trade,” said Russian economist Konstantin Sonin, who teaches at the University of Chicago. “Still, sanctions make sense because even though you cannot kill 100% of revenues, you can reduce them.”
Many American companies are choosing to cut off Russian trade. Coors beer, for example, returned a shipment of hops to a state-owned Russian company in May as part of a commitment to suspend all business in the country, said Molson Coors Beverage Co. spokeswoman Jennifer Martinez.
Russia and the U.S. were never major trading partners, and so sanctioning imports is only a very small slice of the retaliatory strategy. Restrictions on exports from the U.S. –- of technology in particular –- cause more damage to the Russian economy, and sanctioning the Russian Central Bank has frozen Russia’s access to roughly $600 billion in currency reserves held across the U.S. and Europe.
Nonetheless, sanctions carry a symbolic weight beyond the financial harm they might inflict, particularly for American consumers horrified by the war.

‘Fraud’ has been a viewer’s favourite with an intriguing storyline and refined performances of A-list actors – Ahsan Khan, Saba Qamar, and Mikaal Zulfiqar. The latest episode 16 which aired the past weekend sees Shujaat alias Tabraiz trapping yet another girl, Tooba – who is the step-sister of Shaan It all started when Tabraiz who met Tooba near an ATM booth and decided to help her with money due to failure in the monetary transaction, invited her for a date at a restaurant and reserved the entire place to spend alone time with her. Rather amazed by the move, Tooba tells him that he seems to have plenty of money to reserve the entire restaurant, to which Tabraiz replies that he has never been concerned about money or wealth since childhood. He further added, “It’s always a pleasure to spend money on the people you adore.” Later, when Tooba compliments Tabraiz for his words, he stated, “I speak my heart, and when you speak your heart out with someone, it leads to attraction.” Tooba interrupted him saying “We are not even friends yet.” “You are making me uncomfortable and if you will continue with this conversation, I’ll have to leave,” she added. Do you think Tabraiz would succeed in his plan? Will Tooba fall victim to his deception or Maya would save her somehow with the truth of the conman? Wait for the next episode to see how the riveting story unfolds. ‘Fraud’ starring A-list actors Saba Qamar Zaman, Ahsan Khan, and Mikaal Zulfiqar in lead roles – is a story of deceit, dishonesty, and cheating. The supporting cast includes Mehmood Aslam, Asma Abbas, Nida Mumtaz, Rabya Kulsoom, Saife Hassan, Naeema Butt, Adnan Samad Khan and Nazli Nasr among others. Zanjabeel Asim Shah has written the script while Saqib Khan helmed the direction for the project, which airs prime time every Saturday on ARY Digital. | https://dailytimes.com.pk/987104/fraud-keeps-viewers-hooked-with-intriguing-storyline/ | 2022-08-25T05:23:13Z | https://dailytimes.com.pk/987104/fraud-keeps-viewers-hooked-with-intriguing-storyline/ | true | 1 |

America needs more homes, so why are builders cutting back?
Published 10:15 pm Wednesday, August 24, 2022

America needs more homes, so why are builders cutting back?
The U.S. is short nearly 4 million homes, according to an analysis published in May 2021 by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, commonly known as Freddie Mac. New construction was put on pause during the first couple of months of the COVID-19 pandemic, when large parts of the American economy shut down. While the number of new homes being built has rebounded since then, things began to slow in May 2022. Bedeviling the industry are rising mortgage rates—driven up by the Federal Reserve’s efforts to combat inflation—supply-chain issues, and the rising costs of materials.
The number of employed residential construction workers has increased and surpassed pre-pandemic levels, but remains below its peak before the 2008 housing crisis. The Home Builders Institute also points to a lack of skilled workers—hundreds of thousands more workers are needed to keep up with demand.
Housing prices for existing homes continue to rise, though at a slower rate, according to the National Association of Realtors. In July 2022, the median price rose 10.8% from one year prior to $403,800. But that is $10,000 less than the previous month’s record high of $413,800. Sales of existing homes have dropped for the sixth straight month, down 5.9% from June and 20.2% from July 2021.

Construction of new homes has slowed
It isn’t surprising that new home construction has slowed. Home builders’ confidence in the market for new single-family homes dropped to its lowest level since June 2020, according to a poll conducted by the National Association of Home Builders. The findings reflect the effects of high inflation and slow economic growth, which coupled with high home prices are making it difficult for many Americans to buy.
Low mortgage rates during the coronavirus pandemic sparked a sharp increase in home prices, which by March 2022 had risen 20.6% from the year before. It has been more than 35 years since year-to-year home prices have changed this much, according to the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price Index. Mortgage rates have also jumped from below 3% to more than 6% as the Federal Reserve fights inflation. Builders fear that with all of these challenges, interested homeowners won’t be able to purchase newly built homes.

Home construction employment plateaued after rebounding from the 2020 low
A lack of skilled labor is holding back additional home construction, according to the Home Builders Institute. Construction in late 2020 helped to lead the recovery of an economy battered by the pandemic, but the number of homes built lagged behind sales—a situation that was worsened by supply-chain delays. To add to the supply, more workers must be recruited and trained, the HBI says. Some additional 740,000 workers are needed each year through 2024 to meet demand.

Construction job openings shrink
The number of job openings in the construction industry plummeted in June 2022. There were 71,000 fewer openings compared to the month before, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ monthly Job Opening and Labor Turnover Survey. Construction officials attributed the drop to rising interest rates and growing pessimism about the market. Throughout the industry, there were 334,000 job openings in June, which was still 13,000 more than in June 2021.
Construction workers are also quitting their jobs at a faster rate than they are being laid off or let go—a trend that has existed for sixteen consecutive months. Overall on a year-over-year basis, the construction industry still added 311,000 jobs, a 4.2% increase.

Contract cancellations on new homes were lower in 2021, but have since gone up
The rate of cancellations of contracts for new homes was low, below 10% for the 13 months leading up to August 2021, according to the Burns Home Builder Survey. Only four builders had reported cancellations of 35% or more, the report said. Buyers had little incentive to cancel because they faced few existing homes for sale and long waits for new homes. Builders could quickly sell homes at higher prices.
Cancellations on existing homes rose in June 2022 to about 15%, the highest rate since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Redfin. Higher interest rates and rising inflation were likely to blame for this increase. | https://m.magnoliastatelive.com/2022/08/24/america-needs-more-homes-so-why-are-builders-cutting-back/ | 2022-08-25T05:27:47Z | https://m.magnoliastatelive.com/2022/08/24/america-needs-more-homes-so-why-are-builders-cutting-back/ | true | 9 |
Cardi B is again defending her husband from cheating allegations.
A man who identified himself as Nicki Minaj’s stylist dropped some allegations that Cardi B’s husband Offset slept with Saweetie, who is Quavo’s ex-girlfriend. Quavo is the cousin of Offset and one member of Migos. He had previously dated Saweetie for three years before they broke up in March 2021.
The group is rumored to have broken up and appears to be pursuing solo music careers. They have not performed or released music as a group for months. All three members of Migos have skirted around questions about whether they are still a group.
On Wednesday, Offset dropped a lawsuit against Quality Control Music which Migos has a group deal. As QCM’s P Thomas popped up to claim that Offset was problematic, Cardi B also shared her support for her husband as she validated that the label did try to get a portion of the rapper’s income from his latest solo song. Cardi revealed that her husband paid QCM millions to get the right to go solo.
However, it seems that a celebrity stylist connected to Nicki Minaj and Rubi Rose had a tiff with Cardi as he dropped several unsubstantiated accusations that Offset cheated on her with Saweetie and that Cardi B also promised to pay off the two bartenders she allegedly attacked at a strip club for sleeping with Offset. Cardi B is still facing criminal charges for the alleged offense.
Cardi B Instagram
“Oh and @iamcardib when you gone Run Rachel and Sarah they coins? No they’re not gonna settle for the 4M you keep trynna offer them… stop duckin the court cases and PAY UP,” one of the tweets read.
However, Cardi B had a crass response denying that she had offered to settle the matter and dished some dirt on the stylist.
“Why you lying on me and those girls for I have a open case EVERYTHING IS PUBLIC offering money will not benefit me and actually get me in real trouble you making up anything cause you decided to come for me after coming out of jail for stealing 3k worth of clothes,” Cardi B responded.
“One thing about them tables …you gotta sleep on top of them wit a sheet for stealing three thousand dollars worth of clothes,” Cardi added in another tweet.
Cardi B also shared a screenshot of a DM from the stylist, whose name is Khalil. In one message sent from 2015, he asks to be her personal assistant. Two years in June 2017, he asked her to style her for the BET awards. Cardi B did not answer any of the DMs and pointed out that the stylist was bitter.
Cardi also disclosed that the stylist had “spilled tea” on one of his clients, which seemed to hint that she was talking about Nicki Minaj.
In true Libra style, Cardi also shared screenshots of details of Khalil’s arrest record after he denied stealing $3,000 worth of clothes that were stolen from a Bad Girl’s Club designer on a Rubi Rose set he worked on.
The stylist also attacked Offset while the two argued back and forth.
“Offset f***ed Saweetie! Do you wanna really discuss husbands?” one of Khalil’s tweets read.
He also dropped another tweet, but Cardi B was quick to ask for receipts of the accusations.
“No baby you lying ! You makin crazy lies starting sh*t and putting female rappers in it WIT NO RECEIPTS,no blog ever spoke on this all of a sudden you come out of jail 5 days ago and you made up for lied in 2 hours wit NO RECEIPTS!,” she said.
Neither Offset nor Saweetie has responded to the latest accusation. | https://grenadachronicle.com/cardi-b-respond-to-accusations-offset-cheated-with-saweetie/ | 2022-08-25T05:28:52Z | https://grenadachronicle.com/cardi-b-respond-to-accusations-offset-cheated-with-saweetie/ | false | 10 |
Kentavious Wright, otherwise known as Dirty Tay, a rapper signed to Lil Baby’s 4PF imprint, has been charged for the shooting of a toddler in Atlanta.
The 24-year-old rapper was arrested on August 19 for the shooting which occurred on August 3. Police have not disclosed what led to Wright’s arrest, but he is facing charges of criminal attempt to commit murder, aggravated assault, and first-degree cruelty to children.
Wright is also facing gang-related charges in what sounds like an attempt at being initiated into a gang. According to police, Wright is facing multiple counts of committing crimes. Police say he committed the offenses to gain or increase membership in street gangs, which violates Georgia’s Street Gang Terrorism and Prevention Act.
According to details of the arrest shared by Fox 5 Atlanta, Wright is accused of shooting 3-year-old Javon Jewell on August 3 at Peters and Chapel Street, where the boy’s father had taken him and another son to get haircuts.
According to details from a police report, the child’s father, Dajuan Jewell, observed a Kia motorcar driving wildly and doing a U-turn as it began to follow them as they left the barber shop. The car then drove up beside him at a stoplight on the passenger side when shots were fired at the occupants, leading to the boy being hit. His other son did not suffer any injury.
Family members of the little boy say that he had a bullet removed from his head and is hospitalized but expected to recover. It’s unclear if his present state of health or if he will have long-term damage.
It appears that Wright, who was being held at Fulton County jail, is now on bond.
On his Instagram account, he issued a strong denial.
“I’m innocent,” he wrote on Instagram Stories. “The news is not always right don’t bash me because of allegations.”
Dirty Tay statement
A bodycam video has been released showing Wright being arrested at a stoplight. The rapper and his girlfriend were both arrested by Atlanta PD after a gun believed to belong to Wright was found in her possession. | https://grenadachronicle.com/lil-baby-4pfs-artist-dirty-tay-denies-he-shot-3-year-old-boy-after-arrest/ | 2022-08-25T05:28:59Z | https://grenadachronicle.com/lil-baby-4pfs-artist-dirty-tay-denies-he-shot-3-year-old-boy-after-arrest/ | true | 11 |
