DUBLIN, Aug. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Micropropagation Market - Global Outlook and Forecast 2022-2027" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
Micropropagation is increasingly used in plant vegetative propagation and involves carefully choosing plant tissue and mother plant growing under laboratory conditions to produce a new plant. Micropropagation has created lucrative opportunities for farmers and horticulturists to produce plant clones using cell culture technology. This procedure is not restricted to clone plants but is also utilized in making pathogen-free plants, in vitro culture, cryopreservation, and others.
The micropropagation market allows vendors to produce and export crops such as ornamental flowers, bananas, tomatoes, corn and others. In addition, advanced technology such as greenhouse horticulture and the high demand for disease-free and hybrid plants are growing exponentially in the market.
The crops grown through micropropagation techniques are preferred majorly among the consumers. The production of high-quality planting materials is rising with the increased tissue cultured industrial crops, and food crops are expected to anticipate the growth of micropropagation in the forecast period. Additionally, farmers are getting huge profits from new crops on unutilized lands. As a result, farmers' incomes are diversified, increasing sustainability and the need to replicate industrial crops and food crops through micropropagation technology.
The consumption of cannabis as medicine is also gaining importance in the market for micropropagation of hemp tissue culture. Cannabis is a valuable multipurpose crop with medical, industrial, and nutritional applications. Henceforth, the development of cannabis as a medicinal crop is of great importance for the plant tissue culture market, expanding the growth of micropropagation of medicinal plants for various applications.
The growing interest in homegrown production and plant tissue culture market is expected to anticipate the growth of the micropropagation market. It is a field of interest for culturists to set up their lab and grow plants independently. Therefore, homegrown production and in-house labs are the new upcoming drivers of the plant tissue culture market, which will simultaneously enhance the growth for micropropagation in the forecast period
Impact of COVID-19
The Covid-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the agriculture industry and caused a global decline in demand for the ornamental industry. For instance, in 2020, owing to lockdown restrictions, export of Dutch flower buds, over 400,000,000 remained unsold. The horticultural sector has got affected and faces problems like the fragility of the market, import and export crisis, and lesser labor supply, reducing the demand for flowers and food products.
The pandemic has disrupted the logistics and supply chain, which has increased the prices of oranges, avocados, and blueberries in Europe. The covid-19 crisis has caused many disruptions in livestock production, horticulture, planting, and harvesting. As the food processing research laboratories closed, many micropropagation specialists could not culture plants. Moreover, the increasing investment in research and development for advanced technology offers a secure food source for home garden plants and culture businesses.
Global Micropropagation Market Trends & Opportunities
- Huge Demand For Micropropagation In Ornamental And Medicinal Plants
The ornamental market is highly active and internationalized with breeders, growers, and retailers. In Europe, most ornamentals are produced outside of Europe from countries such as Kenya, Ethiopia, and Israel and imported back to Europe. Germany dominates the market in Europe in terms of ornamental plants. Additionally, the consumption of cannabis as medicine is also gaining importance in the market for micropropagation of hemp tissue culture. Therefore, developing medicinal plants into crops has been encouraged across the European region.
- Rising Demand For Home Laboratories And Production
The demand for organic fruits and vegetables to remain healthy has attracted many people to diversify their interests in homegrown fruits and vegetables with the help of micropropagation. Constructing areas with standard measures of micropropagation such as a sterile culture area and greenhouse can be created simply in the house. Therefore, the growing interest in homegrown production and plant tissue culture market is expected to anticipate the growth of the micropropagation market in the forecast period.
- High Cost Of Commercial Propagation
The high cost of micropropagation is a severe limitation on extending the tissue culture business. A large scale of micropropagation requires vast space to maintain hundreds and millions of plants produced in the lab. Therefore, conditions about the rapid increase in production and equipment costs are the foremost factors expected to restrain the growth of the micropropagation market in the forecast period.
Competitive Landscape
Key industry participants include RIVERS BIOTECH, AGRIFOREST BIO-TECHNOLOGIES, BOOMS PHARMA, AGRISTARTS, etc. There is intense competition among vendors in the market. Market leaders are currently emphasizing the adoption of disease-free plants due to the increasing sustainable farming trend. One of the main approaches that industry participants adopt is micropropagation for various products due to the rising usage of pesticides in agriculture.
Recent developments:
- As per the year 2021, Dark Heart Industry announced the opening of its R&D in Davis, California, which will ensure advanced science-based solutions and innovations that will directly help the customers experience technologically advanced products and their features.
- In 2020, the Dark Heart also introduced a production and research facility spread over 70,000 sq. Ft. in Half Moon Bay in California for more production of plants around 1 million annually.
- As of 2021, Agriforest received funding from the Canada-BC Agri innovation program to produce disease-free hazelnut plants.

On Monday, millions of fans around the world tuned in to watch Serena Williams play in what will most likely be the last US Open tournament of her historic career.
The GOAT snagged a 6-3, 6-3 victory over Danka Kovinić in the first round of the US Open in style. Williams, 42, rocked a flowing black tennis leotard that featured shimmering detail as she delivered one powerful serve after another during the competition. The superstar wore Black glittery Nike tennis shoes along with the fashionable athletic look.
A list of star-studded celebs were in the stands at Arthur Ashe Stadium rallying Williams during the historical moment, including boxing champion Mike Tyson and his wife Lakiha Spicer.
On Aug. 31, Williams will play in open doubles with her sister Venus. She will also face off Anett Kontaveit of Estonia in the singles round of 64. Hopefully, the champ will walk away from the tournament with her 7th US Open trophy, but if not, she certainly does not have anything left to prove.
Williams said she might someday return to the sport during her post-match press conference.
“I’m going to stay vague because you never know,” she told reporters, according to CNN. But before heading to the court, the tennis star shared that her decision to retire was a difficult one to make.
“I think when you’re passionate about something, and you love something so much, it’s always hard to walk away,” she said. “Sometimes I think it’s hard to walk away than to not. That’s been the case for me.”
As for her future plans, Williams said she’s looking forward to spending time with her daughter. “I look forward to waking up and just being like, OK, I don’t have to run to the court today. I look forward to just being a mom. She’s such a good girl. I just want to be a good mom to her,” she added.

Michael Bublé is a hockey superfan and on Monday, when his Evening With Michael Bublé tour rolled through Capital One Arena, the Canadian singer saluted the Washington Capitals. Well, with some help from a friend.
During Bublé’s encore, former Capitals defenseman Karl Alzner, who was sitting near the stage, handed the four-time Grammy winner one of his jerseys.
Not only did Bublé, a Vancouver Canucks fan in real life, accept the gift, but he closed the show while wearing it.
Y’all, that’s got me Feeling Good and Some Kind Of Wonderful.
T-Shirt Guy, Charlie McManus, sent us photos and video of Bublé throwing on the sweater to the delight of Capitals fans.
Another video, posted by @TillyCapsFan, shows Bublé receiving loud cheers as he takes the time to rock the red, white, and blue.

Alzner was at the show in aisle floor seats with his wife Mandy. In the photos, Alzner, who works for NBC Sports Washington (which is being fully acquired by MSE), had pre-signed the jersey so perhaps there was some coordination here.
Regardless, while, Michael, I Haven’t Met You Yet, I just want you to know that I’ll Never Not Love You for repping my favorite team.

Two people were sent to hospital after the van they were driving crashed through a rural Mission property causing extensive damage to the property and the vehicle.
Just before 6 a.m., Aug. 29, a white Dodge Caravan crashed through the property’s carport, just off the road along the 30200 block of Keystone Avenue.
It came to a stop on the property’s front lawn around 100 feet from where it left the road, leaving a trail of wood and sheet metal scattered from the impact.
The male driver received a minor head injury and was transported to a local hospital, while the female passenger suffered an unspecified leg injury and needed to be flown to Royal Columbian Hospital, according to Mission RCMP, who were called to assist paramedics.
“The van itself was extensively damaged with further property damage to a home and fence as a result of the collision,” said Cpl. Jason Raaflaub, media officer with the detachment.
“Initial investigation ruled out impairment as a possible cause for the crash and investigators are still working on the exact cause(s) that led to the van veering off the roadway. Preliminary indications suggest it’s possible one of two pet dogs within the van interfered with the driver and may have contributed to the crash.”
CCTV footage provided by the property owners show one of the dogs being thrown from the vehicle before it comes to a stop on their front lawn.

— Patrick Penner (@portmoodypigeon) August 29, 2022
The property owners, Bernd and Sandra Gartner, said they’ve had three vehicles crash through their property in the last six years, and that speed is a constant issue along Keystone Avenue – especially on weekends.
Sandra said she no longer feels safe spending time on the front lawn, adding they often take their dogs out early in the morning. She said if the van didn’t hit their car port, it could have crashed into their home.
The city needs to install concrete barricades, more speed control measures, or ask RCMP officers to patrol the area more frequently, Bernd said.
“This happens so often. Like, crazy speeding,” Bernd said. “This is a residential area – 50 kilometres an hour.”
He estimates there is tens of thousands of dollars in damage to their property.
Raaflaub said that both the driver and passenger are cooperating with investigators, and the file remains open.
He said if anyone has further information about the collision, specifically mentioning dash-cam footage, they are encouraged to contact the RCMP’s non-emergency line: 604-826-7161.
Local community associations in the Stave Falls and Steelhead neighbourhoods have often complained to city council about the dangerous drivers on Mission’s rural roads.
Traffic-safety consultants were recently hired by the city to study 23 kilometres along Keystone Avenue, Hayward Street, and a section of Dewdney Trunk Road – an area that contains three of the top 14 collision-prone areas in Mission.
A lack of warning and guidance signs at challenging segments were noted in the study, along with speeding and a lack of traffic control measures.
The vast majority (70 per cent) of crashes were off-road, most only involving a single vehicle.

Robert LuPone -- a Tony Award nominee who also starred as Tony Soprano's neighbor and family physician Dr. Bruce Cusamano on The Sopranos -- has died. He was 76.
Robert was also, notably, the brother of Patti LuPone.
News of Robert's death was shared via a statement from the off-Broadway theater company MCC Theater, which he helped to establish in 1986.
"It is with heavy hearts that we announce that MCC founding Co-Artistic Director, Bob LuPone, passed away Saturday, Aug 27 after a three year battle with pancreatic cancer," read a post from the organization.
A graduate of Julliard, Robert's first professional job was in the ensemble of Liza Minnelli's The Pajama Game. He made his Broadway debut in Sweet Potato in 1968, and went on to score a Tony nomination for Best Featured Actor in a Musical in his role as Zach in A Chorus Line at the 1976 awards ceremony.
Among his television credits are The Sopranos, Sex & the City, Guiding Light and All My Children, for which he received a Daytime Emmy nomination.
Robert led the off-Broadway, non-profit MCC Theater company as an arts educator and founding Co-Artistic Director along with Bernie Telsey and Will Cantler for nearly 40 years, building it from the ground up. He helped to produce such shows as Frozen, Hand to God, School Girls; or the African Mean Girls Play and the Pulitzer Prize-winning, Wit.

(NerdWallet) – Hundreds of thousands of borrowers made payments on their federal student loans since forbearance began in March 2020, taking advantage of the opportunity to pay down their balances.
Now that the White House has announced plans to cancel up to $20,000 in student loan debt, some of those borrowers may be wondering how to get a refund. The idea is that a refund of student loan payments could put cash in borrowers’ pockets and maximize the amount of canceled debt — but that may not be the best idea for everyone.
Here’s what you need to know.
Who can request a refund?
More than 40 million borrowers were allowed to pause their payments, interest-free, during the pandemic. The White House says up to 27 million people may be eligible for debt cancellation.
Those who made payments or paid off their federally held loans during the interest-free forbearance — by single payment or lump sum — are eligible for refunds. Any payment made since March 13, 2020, is eligible.
Private student loan payments aren’t included. Neither are payments made on some FFELP or Perkins loans.
Who should request a refund?
Qualified borrowers who have loan balances less than their maximum cancellation amount — $10,000, or $20,000 if you accepted a Pell Grant — and have made at least one payment during the pause may be rushing to request a refund to ensure they get the most relief possible.
However, only borrowers experiencing financial hardship should request a payment refund at this time, says Scott Buchanan, executive director of the Student Loan Servicing Alliance.
Buchanan says that because full details of the loan cancellation program have not yet been released, borrowers can’t be sure they’ll actually benefit from getting a refund on payments made at 0% interest.
Just as the cutoff for cancellation-eligible loans is set for those disbursed before July 2022, Buchanan warns borrowers that the Education Department may decide to cancel debt based on a balance at a date in the past as well. In that case, any refunded payments won’t help borrowers maximize their cancellation amount.
“What I worry about is people potentially taking money out, spending it on something and then it doesn’t apply,” Buchanan says.
He advises borrowers to sign up for updates with the Education Department for official information on when to request a refund — and whether it will even be beneficial.
How do I request a refund?
Starting the process for getting a refund on payments is relatively simple if you have the right information handy. You need:
- Your loan servicer’s phone number.
- Your Social Security number.
- Payment confirmation numbers or bank payment information.
- The address where you want your refund delivered.
You can likely find payment confirmation numbers on your loan servicer account portal under your payment history. Each payment has a unique identification number that will allow the servicer representative to apply your refund accurately. You can find your bank transaction dates or check numbers on your bank account portal.
The first step is to call your loan servicer. Your loan servicer representative could ask for your Social Security number to pull up your account. After they verify your account and identity, let them know you want to request a refund on payments made during the interest-free forbearance period.
Expect long hold times, Buchanan says.
The representative will ask you which payments, specifically, you want refunded. To make this go quickly and smoothly, be prepared to provide them with the applicable payment confirmation numbers or transaction numbers.
You will also need to confirm your address on file: Refunds could come via check or electronically.
Then, the representative will submit the request on your behalf and provide you with a confirmation.
When will I get my money back?
If you don’t get your refund electronically, you will receive a check in six to 12 weeks. You will also see your loan balance increase by your refunded amount in that time frame. | https://www.ksnt.com/news/national/should-you-ask-for-a-refund-on-student-loan-payments/ | 2022-08-30T19:52:45Z | https://www.ksnt.com/news/national/should-you-ask-for-a-refund-on-student-loan-payments/ | false | 24 |

HALESTORM's LZZY HALE On Her Paintings: 'I Leave A Lot Of Things Up To Chance'
August 30, 2022HALESTORM frontwoman Lzzy Hale was a guest on the latest video episode of the podcast "Side Jams With Bryan Reesman". During the chat, which can be seen below, Lzzy discussed her paintings and went through all seven of her major pieces. Several excerpts from the conversation follow.
On her painting being colorful:
Lzzy: "It's definitely a strange part of my psyche because if you look in my closet, there's a lot of black. I don't have a whole lot of color in my life. When I first started getting into doing art, I started with sketching and just a lot of abstract ways of doodling. I would stop and start because I hadn't quite found my medium and the place that feels like home to me, feels like you can actually do something. So when I got into acrylic painting, I ended up doing the layers of color. I'm not necessarily using a paint brush, I'm using some scraper tools in order to spread things around and make little indentations and a lot of texture. Then I will layer over that with acrylic pour over paint which is so much fun and so messy. I almost feel like I am this little kid again in first grade discovering different colors and how to combine things and what can be a little bit more radical. It's been this weird extension of this colorful side that I need to get out in some way. I just started doing it and got a bunch of drop cloths, and I've messed up a bunch of old Levis because now they've been dubbed my painting jeans."
On her creative process:
Lzzy: "I'm putting on music most times and just going with that. For this one actually, I put on some '80s hair metal stuff. I think this was WINGER. [Laughs] But there's just an eclectic mixture of different things that I enjoy listening to. There was some DIO stuff in there. It's a lot of flying by the seat of my pants.
"I leave a lot of things up to chance. I like to do that with free form doodling too where you throw yourself headfirst into the maze and then almost decide to reveal whatever it's going to be. Sometimes you feel, like, 'Did I take that too far? Maybe my last step before the final form is where it's at.' Then sometimes those happy accidents — there's little things that bleed through that you want to accentuate, and that's the point. That was the reason for me doing that."
On being inspired by other artists:
Lzzy: "I love going to any type of local pop-up little art displays. That happens a lot. Like over the summer we'll be in some random place in Michigan and you'll see it advertised that somebody will be renting out just a space or a house. There's all these local artists that get to display some of their works. It's fun to immerse yourself. You get to look at life in a little bit of a different way and see it through their eyes, through their art. There's a friend of mine out of Cleveland, Ohio. Her name is Eileen Dorsey, and she's an amazing painter. She works with acrylics as well, but she does a lot of nature. It's a lot of wooded areas, like if you're standing right in the middle of it. She does a lot of murals, and her art is amazing. She has been doing it for years and actually got the opportunity to do a couple different things for some artists. She's coming up in the scene. She's one of my favorites. I've been nerding out with her — 'Hey, I finally started doing it.' She's, like, 'Awesome! If you need any advice, I'm here.' It's like a call to arms."
On how painting and fishing help her recharge with music:
Lzzy: "[They're] another way to turn your brain off, and I think that's important. I could say the same thing about cooking. It's important for people like us who are banking on the arts to keep things moving. You can get burnt out if you have all of your eggs in one basket. You can be like, I've been plugging away at this for a long time. I need a sidestep, I need something to take me away from this so that I can come back to it with fresh eyes, fresh ears. I used to feel guilty about it. 'I just spent four hours painting when I could be practicing guitar.' Or, 'I could be doing something else that would be forward movement for the band.' And then I realized that you shouldn't be feeling guilty for doing those things. Because it's all connected, and they all help each other."
On whether she would put her art on a guitar:
Lzzy: "I have a couple of guitars that I probably would be brave enough to do that with. I could screw them up a little bit. I might have to strip it down a little bit, but that would be an interesting project. Just to do something like this and I'd have to end up putting a lacquer on top of it. That'd be fun."
HALESTORM is continuing to tour in support of its fifth studio album album, "Back From The Dead", which was released in May via Atlantic. The follow-up to 2018's "Vicious" was produced by Nick Raskulinecz (FOO FIGHTERS, MASTODON, ALICE IN CHAINS) with co-production by Scott Stevens (SHINEDOWN, DAUGHTRY, NEW YEARS DAY).
Lzzy and her brother Arejay (drums) formed the band in 1998 while in middle school. Guitarist Joe Hottinger joined the group in 2003, followed by bassist Josh Smith in 2004.
In December 2018, HALESTORM was nominated for a "Best Rock Performance" Grammy Award for its song "Uncomfortable". Six years earlier, the band won its first Grammy in the category of "Best Hard Rock/ Metal Performance" for "Love Bites (So Do I)". | https://blabbermouth.net/news/halestorms-lzzy-hale-on-her-paintings-i-leave-a-lot-of-things-up-to-chance | 2022-08-30T20:02:55Z | https://blabbermouth.net/news/halestorms-lzzy-hale-on-her-paintings-i-leave-a-lot-of-things-up-to-chance | false | 1 |

Baseball players fed up with repeated vandalism near Philadelphia
By Katie Katro
Click here for updates on this story
ABINGTON, Pennsylvania (WPVI) — Students at Abington High School are fed up with the repeated vandalism at their baseball field.
Some Abington High School baseball players spoke with Action News Monday after their field was vandalized Friday.
“I do feel disrespected,” said senior LJ Wolff.
While the season doesn’t start until March, voluntary workouts have already begun. Players said they take the sport seriously, with many hoping to play baseball in college.
“It’s pretty frustrating when we’re out here in the middle of the summer trying to get better for the season,” said Pat Barrett, a senior at the school.
When Barrett saw the images on the dugout, he immediately told his coach.
“It was tough to look at,” said Bill Degen, the head varsity baseball coach.
Degen said this is the third time the field has recently been vandalized. He said the field was vandalized twice toward the end of last season.
Players still talk about their field getting ripped up at the end of last season.
“It’s kind of crazy because they did a lot of damage,” said senior Alex Dar.
“Especially with the outfield getting vandalized, and we could get injured and potentially lose our scholarships,” added Wolff.
Parents said enough is enough.
“It’s disheartening when you have boys that take this so serious,” said Valerie Staley, a parent of one of the players. “They come here for practice and then they have to see this. It’s not fair to them. It’s not fair to any child.”
The team has a message for whoever is behind the vandalism.
“They probably thought it was funny doing whatever they want out there. It’s really not funny,” said senior Matt Worek.
The school district told Action News they cleaned up the vandalism in time for practice Monday evening.
Abington Township police are aware of the latest incident and urge anyone with information to come forward.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Latest on the U.S. Open tennis tournament (all times local):
___
3:10 p.m.
Carlos Alcaraz moved into the second round of the U.S. Open when his opponent was forced to stop because of injury in the third set.
The No. 3 seed led Sebastian Baez 7-5, 7-5, 2-0 when the Argentine player motioned he couldn't continue because of leg pain or cramps.
Alcaraz's U.S. Open ended last year in a similar manner. He reached the quarterfinals at 18, the youngest man to get that far in New York in the professional era, before stopping in the second set of his loss to Felix Auger-Aliassime because of an upper right leg injury.
Alcaraz has followed that by winning four ATP titles this year.
___
1 p.m.
Serena Williams will be back under the lights in Arthur Ashe Stadium on Wednesday.
Williams will play the leadoff match of the night session in the main stadium, the U.S. Tennis Association announced Tuesday.
She will face No. 2 seed Anett Kontaveit of Estonia. They will be followed by defending men's champion Daniil Medvedev against Arthur Rinderknech of France.
Williams beat Danka Kovinic on Monday night to begin what could be the final tournament of her career. That helped draw the largest crowd ever for a U.S. Open night session, which had more than 29,000 fans.
___
12:30 p.m.
Top-ranked Iga Swiatek powered into the second round of the U.S. Open, beating Jasmine Paolini 6-3, 6-0.
No. 8-seeded American Jessica Pegula also raced through her opening match, like Swiatek needing just more than an hour before beating Viktorija Golubic 6-2, 6-2.
Swiatek is just 5-4 since her 37-winning streak earlier this year, but the two-time French Open champion got sharper as the match went on Tuesday while supported by a number of Polish fans wearing red inside Louis Armstrong Stadium.
She is trying to become the first player since Serena Williams in 2014 to win seven titles in a year.
___
11:10 a.m.
A day after Serena Williams won her opening match at the U.S. Open, sister Venus will begin her tournament on the same Arthur Ashe Stadium court.
Top-ranked Iga Swiatek was among the players on court when the second day of the event began Tuesday morning. Garbiñe Muguruza and Jelena Ostapenko were other Grand Slam champions with early starts.
Play in Ashe was set to begin at noon with No. 3 seed Carlos Alcaraz facing Sebastian Baez of Argentina. Then it was the 42-year-old Venus Williams, returning to the tournament she first won 25 years ago. She facing Alison Van Uytvanck of Belgium after a one-year absence at Flushing Meadows.
Rafael Nadal was in night action, along with defending women's champion Emma Raducanu and two-time winner Naomi Osaka.

A car crashed through a fence in the Neve Daniel community south of Jerusalem on Tuesday, landing on a patio between houses. According to eyewitnesses, the elderly driver was conscious and was being attended to by MDA medics. It would appear that the driver accidentally pushed the gas pedal instead of the brakes, causing the vehicle to slam through the fence, falling several feet before landing on the patio. | https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/358980 | 2022-08-30T20:15:36Z | https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/358980 | false | null |

I set myself a book reading goal for the year, and it’s ruining my life
By James Colley
I’ll have to be quick. I don’t really have time to write this. You see, at the start of the year, I made a commitment.
I was drunk on the romance of a new year. It felt as if there was time to do a million things. Self-improvement seemed possible. There was a chance that if I made just the right resolution, I would not have to face the next New Year’s Day as the kind of guy who needs to make resolutions to get his life together. Whatever the reason, now I’m locked into a commitment that is sucking up all of my time with no benefit other than worthless, pathetic knowledge and culture. I have set myself a book reading goal.
I’d love to say that I had noble intentions. Read more, scroll less. All of those high-minded virtues. But as with all virtuous actions, it was triggered by jealousy and the desire to look like a cultured person. I wanted to be one of those people who upload an end of year list of all the books that had changed their life over the past year. You know those insufferable gits? With just one year of solid commitment, I’d be one of them!
It couldn’t be that hard. I completed reading challenges all through high school, and they were just for charity. This time it would be for something I actually care about: my own pointless self-aggrandisement. Easy, right?
Like all good resolutions, I came out of the blocks strong. Helped in no small part by the fact that it was the start of the year and there was nothing else going on. There was time to sit about and clock up numbers. Hell, I got cocky.
Forget the short contemporary novels. Chuck me the new Franzen. Give me something bleak and Russian where it takes 400 pages to get to know someone and another 200 for them to slowly die of tuberculosis. Then the grind of the year began to hit, and I fell behind. As with all good resolutions, that means one thing: it’s time to shift the goalposts.
Here we come to a deceptively difficult question: what counts as a book? Obviously books count as books, hard to argue any other way. But do all books count as books? While trying to get my daughter to sleep, I’ve read Madeline at least 30 times already. That would be enough to push me well past my goal. But we have to have some standards here.
The other day, I saw someone online include a newspaper in their reading stack. Surely, that doesn’t count. And what of audiobooks? They’re books - it says it right in the name. But did I read a book or did I just listen to it? Podcasts don’t count, obviously. So, there is some important demarcation somewhere between the two. I found myself putting arbitrary rules on my audiobook listening: you must pay attention, you cannot be performing any but the most basic tasks, you have to be certain that you could recite the plot of the book at gunpoint in the rare scenario that you are being mugged by a nerd and presumably they’re mugging you for your knowledge of book summaries. Only then could I look at my reading list and say that I felt as if I had read that book.
And what if I hate a book? Usually, I am a huge proponent of tossing aside any novel that isn’t working for you. Life is short and books are plentiful. But now, I need the numbers. If I’m already two-thirds of the way through, I’m gritting my teeth and enduring the final, joyless chapters. I’ve tried marking a book in my list when I haven’t finished it and the very thought haunted me. The book vibrated on my shelf like the tell-tale heart.
All of a sudden, I have lost all ambition to tackle the longer tomes. I’ve clawed my way back to par and acquiring that much culture would simply ruin my average. It’s like pulling over on a road trip when you’re making good time. It’s about the destination, not the journey!
Here is where we find the core of the problem. I have found a way to gamify reading. Whereas before I would have read a handful of books a year and really savoured them, now every book is an impediment to the next one. There is no time to savour. I cannot sit with my feelings at the end of a harrowing tale of love and loss. It’s time to chuck it aside and bring in the next one.
I’ve left myself little notes along my list of conquests, and they are conquests, to create the illusion that I have thought deeply about these texts and will remember them forever. The notes themselves aren’t hugely useful. One of the books from the A Song of Ice and Fire series is followed up with “didn’t happen”. An account of the last days of Trotsky’s life is given the thoughtful review, “That’s Trotsky, baby!”. The review of a work on gut bacteria simply says, “Yucko”. That is about the level of insight I am providing here. Some day, I’ll look back at these, smile, and think yes, that truly was Trotsky, baby.
There is a positive to be found in my mountain of negativity, though. The sheer number of books I am forcing myself to tear through to prove nothing and achieve even less has forced me to go outside my usual comfort zone. I’ve had to dance from fiction to non-fiction, read authors from all different walks of life, even dip every so often into disgusting fantasy novels filled with elf nonsense.
And there’s a small solace, too. We’re entering September now. I am staying on track by the skin of my teeth. A few more months of staying inside every night, neglecting my family, and not really paying attention to anything that’s on the telly could see me reach my goal. Then, once I have finally reached the mountaintop, I will have conquered books and never have to read again. At last, I shall be free.

Johar Town blast: CTD told to expedite filing of charge sheet
A local Lahore court on Tuesday extended the judicial remand of three suspects arrested in connection with the Johar Town blast as the counter-terrorism department of Punjab police was directed to speed up the process of filing the charge sheet against the suspects.
On Tuesday, an anti-terror court in Lahore heard the case against three suspects, identified as blast mastermind Samiul Haq and facilitators Aziz Akbar and Naveed Akhtar.
While the suspects were not presented in court, the court reviewed warrants issued for the arrest of the suspects.
The court directed the counter-terrorism police (CTD) to present the charge sheet against the suspects as it extended their judicial remand until September 2.
On June 23, 2021, an explosion took place near the residence of Jamaatud Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed in Johar Town. The blast killed three people and injured 24 others, including a police constable.
Days after the incident, the then information minister Fawad Chaudhry and National Security Adviser Dr Moeed Yusuf told a press conference that the attack’s mastermind was “an Indian citizen and he is associated with [Indian intelligence agency] RAW”.
Another five suspects implicated in the case are already in judicial custody. | https://www.samaaenglish.tv/news/40015749/johar-town-blast-ctd-told-to-expedite-filing-of-charge-sheet | 2022-08-30T20:36:16Z | https://www.samaaenglish.tv/news/40015749/johar-town-blast-ctd-told-to-expedite-filing-of-charge-sheet | false | 1 |
DALLAS, Texas — Nothing Bundt Cakes is celebrating its 25th birthday in a big way with a cake giveaway at all locations across North America. On Sept. 1, the first 250 guests at each bakery will receive a free Confetti Bundtlet, the brand’s individually packaged miniature Bundt Cakes.
There are bakery locations in Clifton Park and Albany.
To spread even more birthday joy, Nothing Bundt Cakes is holding an online contest where one lucky fan will win a $25,000 birthday party planned by a celebrity party planning company. Additionally, 25 runners-up will each receive a $100 Nothing Bundt Cakes gift card. Fans can enter the contest by submitting a photo from their favorite birthday memory, describing what they enjoyed about it and sharing what winning the party would mean to them.
To enter, and for complete contest rules, visit https://www.nothingbundtcakes.com/25th-birthday/. Entries will be accepted from Sept. 1 –25, and winners will be announced on the contest website in October.
Founded in Las Vegas in 1997, Nothing Bundt Cakes started as a small baking business out of the home kitchens of co-founders Dena Tripp and Debbie Shwetz. Demand for their moist, delicious Bundt cakes, crowned with cream cheese frosting, soon grew to the point where they opened a bakery, and then another, and eventually began franchising their unique concept.

LOS ANGELES — USC head coach Lincoln Riley committed Tuesday to releasing a depth chart after Wednesday afternoon’s practice. But even after the reveal, there might still be a big question hanging over the Trojans entering Saturday’s season opener against Rice.
Who is USC’s starting left tackle?
It’s been an ongoing battle this fall between Courtland Ford and Virginia transfer Bobby Haskins. And after practice Tuesday, offensive coordinator and line coach Josh Henson did not commit to one or the other as his guy protecting quarterback Caleb Williams’ blind side.
Instead, Henson suggested it was possible that both Ford and Haskins play on Saturday as the competition spills into the season.
“It’s still playing out. I’m not sure that it won’t play out until through the game,” Henson said. “No one has really separated themselves at that spot and no one has really got themselves behind. We’re just kinda one day one guy’s a little better, one day the next guy is better. Which is a good thing; we’re in a heckuva battle.”
Ford started USC’s first eight games last season at left tackle before various maladies limited him in the final four games. Haskins missed spring camp while recovering from ankle surgery that he underwent after starting seven games for the Cavaliers last season.
As for what one needs to do to earn the full-time left tackle job this season, the buzz word is “consistency”.
“Just doing it every snap,” Henson said. “Your bad plays not being sacks, your bad plays just being kind of on the edge but I still blocked him. So those kind of things. And that’s where we just got to continue to improve.”
Haskins added, “I think consistency with calls, consistency with production, just across the board being consistent.”
As for the possibility of the ongoing battle negatively impacting offensive line chemistry, Henson dismissed those concerns.
“Oh, it’s fine,” he said. “Both guys are in there working, both do a really good job, good communicators. They know what they’re doing. [Left guard Andrew] Vorhees beside them is a very veteran guy so it’s not been an issue.”
Team captains
Riley announced on Tuesday that linebacker Shane Lee, quarterback Caleb Williams, defensive lineman Tuli Tuipulotu and guard Justin Dedich had been elected team captains by their teammates.
“The team pretty clearly looks at those four as the guys they want to represent them,” Riley said. “They all had a chance to address the team after being named captain last Friday and they’ve done a tremendous job leading the whole way through.”

Corsicana will close Olive Branch plant
OLIVE BRANCH, Miss. (WMC) - Corsicana will close Olive Branch plant as part of their continued restructuring plan.
The company said it will close its Symbol mattress production plant at 8300 Industrial Drive in October.
The restructuring plan focuses on improving the efficiency of its national manufacturing and distribution footprint.
Production will be absorbed into the company’s Corsicana, TX, Shelbyville, TN and Bartow, FL facilities.
Fifty-two production employees will be impacted.
The 370,000-square-foot Olive Branch plant became a part of Corsicana in April of 2021 when the company acquired Symbol.
“This realignment is necessary to continue transforming our manufacturing footprint to become more agile and operationally effective. We are investing heavily in our Corsicana, Shelbyville and Bartow facilities and have the capacity and ability to effectively service our customers in the Southern region,” said Corsicana Mattress CEO Eric Rhea. “We greatly appreciate the support from the local community and employees as we make this transition.”

Pentagon Chief To Negotiate Sale Of F-35 Fighter Jets In Prague On September 8 - Reports
Sumaira FH Published August 31, 2022 | 01:10 AM
PRAGUE (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 31st August, 2022) US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is expected to arrive in Prague on September 8 to negotiate the sale of F-35 Lightning fighter jets to the Czech military, Czech news outlet Seznam Zpravy reported on Tuesday, citing diplomatic sources.
The news outlet did not receive any official public confirmation about Austin's visit neither from the Czech defense ministry, nor the US embassy in Prague, but its diplomatic sources said that the Pentagon chief is scheduled to arrive on September 8.
In July, the Czech government instructed Defense Minister Jana Cernochova to begin negotiations with US partners on the acquisition of 24 F-35 Lightning combat aircraft.
The negotiations on the sale of F-35 Lightning aircraft, each worth about 2 billion Czech koruny ($81 million), will be attended by the Czech defense, trade and financial ministers, as well as by the country's foreign minister, according to the news outlet. To date, the Czech air force has 14 Swedish Saab JAS 39 Gripen fighters on lease.
Austin is also scheduled to hold a meeting with Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala, who is reportedly invited to visit the White House later this year.

Trudeau announces funding for 17,000 new housing units
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Tuesday the federal government will create 17,000 new homes through additional funding for projects including the Affordable Housing Innovation Fund’s rent-to-own program and launching the third phase of its Rapid Housing Initiative.
Trudeau’s announcement included funding for three projects totalling $2 billion to create thousands of new units, many of which will be designated affordable units. The $2 billion includes previously-announced funding from the last two federal budgets.
Of the three projects, two fall under the Affordable Housing Innovation Fund, which launched in 2016 in an effort to create more affordable housing by partnering with private sector groups, non-profits, community housing groups, Indigenous communities, and various levels of government.
Speaking in Kitchener, Ont. with Minister of Housing and Diversity and Inclusion Ahmed Hussen.,Trudeau said the federal government plans to create 10,800 new homes — 6,000 of which will be designated affordable units — as part of the Affordable Housing Innovation Fund.
Meanwhile, applications for the fund’s five-year rent-to-own initiative are now open. The project will allow housing providers “interested in developing, testing and scaling innovative rent-to-own models and projects” to apply for government funding.
In addition, Trudeau announced the third phase in the federal government’s Rapid Housing Initiative to create 4,500 affordable housing units, partly dedicated to women and those at risk of homelessness.
“Tackling housing affordability is a complex problem and there is no one silver bullet,” Trudeau said. “The fact is, simplistic solutions are simply not going to solve the problem. But announcements like today's move us all forward and give more people a place to call home, and a real and fair chance of success.”

Hot Stuff: The summer's 8 best romance novels are thrilling, fun, and resonant romps
As Labor Day approaches, it's almost time to bid a bittersweet adieu to the sun-kissed days of summer.
But for those looking to extend their vacation a little further, we're highlighting the best of the season's romance reads. Summer 2022 brought a veritable smorgasbord of scintillating romance choices, from unique historicals to engrossing contemporary rom-coms.
Check out our eight favorites of this summer season below.
For the Love of the Bard, by Jessica Martin
This charming debut casts a second-chance romance against a Shakespeare-obsessed town with sparkling results. When literary agent and author Miranda Barnes returns to her hometown of Bard's Rest with the goal of finishing her novel, she's sucked into directing a production of Twelfth Night for the town's annual Shakespeare festival. But when she discovers Adam, her high-school ex who broke her heart on prom night, is also back, she has to ponder whether the course of true love ever did run smooth. The book veers slightly into the women's fiction category, with a fair amount of space dedicated to Miranda's relationships with her sisters and her mom's bout with cancer (content warning for all those who would prefer their romance novels sans parental cancer!). But her romance with Adam is so winning and the prose so delightful that we couldn't resist including it here. This book will be pure catnip for anyone with even a passing interest in Shakespeare. The clever puns that dot the town, from the names of businesses to the characters themselves, are winking and fun. And there's nothing quite like reading about two people wooing each other as they mount a production of a Shakespearean comedy. The sleepy summer magic of outdoor Shakespeare casts a heady spell that lends the romance a spark of magic. The most regrettable thing about For the Love of the Bard is that Bard's Rest isn't a real place I can actually visit (or, let's be real, move to).

Always Be My Duchess, by Amalie Howard
Inspired by Pretty Woman, Always Be My Duchess is a sparkling tale of a romance that begins as a business deal and transforms into something all-consuming. When ballerina Genevieve Valery, known as Neve, rescues the intoxicated Lord Lysander Blackstone, the Duke of Montcroix, from a group of ruffians in a Covent Garden alley, he realizes she might help solve his problems. If she'll pose as his fiancée in exchange for a hefty sum, she could be the key to making a business deal he's been chasing. Neve accepts, but the more time she spends in Lysander's home and company, the more they fall for each other. Lysander is on the spectrum, a man who is seen as cold or calculating by outsiders but whose heart is kind and fiercely loyal. As Neve brings him out of his shell, he helps her rediscover her love of dance, purely for the pleasure of it. The two have an undeniable chemistry from the moment they're pressed against each other in a dark alley, and Howard crafts a saucy, titillating romance between the two of them. Her love scenes are fiery and engrossing, but it's the depth of caring and ferocity in her two protagonists that makes the book such a charming romance. Neve knows her own value, allowing Howard to wisely craft an arrangement between Neve and Lysander that makes their uneven power dynamic an acknowledged issue without ever veering into problematic territory. When it comes to their physical and romantic connection, every choice is mutual and Neve is a willing, outright eager participant — but she still grapples with whether Lysander truly loves her or sees her as merely another business transaction. It's her keen sense of self-worth and commitment to her principles that make her an irresistible heroine, even as she has to push past her assumptions to understand Lysander's sometimes overly logical or literal approach to things. Always Be My Duchess is a dreamy summer romance designed to sweep you up into a world of ballerinas, hunky dukes, cheeky girl gangs, and delicious sex scenes. Light on angst and heavy on charm, it's a feel-good read of the highest order.

The Accidental Pinup, by Danielle Jackson
Romance reviewer Danielle Jackson makes her debut with this steamy contemporary romance about rival photographers who must work together to complete a dream project. Cassie Harris is a badass photog, making a name for herself with her company Buxom Boudoir, which offers clients a modern twist on classic pinup photography. With her best friend, Dana, about to launch her own lingerie line, Cassie is optimistic she'll finally have a shot at the bigger contracts she knows she deserves. But when the company opts for Reid Montgomery, her longtime competitor behind the camera, she finds herself thrust into a new role as a model. But what happens when their professional lingerie shoots turn into something more personal and sexy off the clock? Jackson knows just what romance readers want — from Cassie's infectious self-confidence and empowered approach to life to Reid's easy sex appeal and plenty of spicy interludes in between. There's an immediate spark between them, and the fact that they're taking photos for a lingerie campaign only fans the flames. Cassie is a plus-size Black woman, and she not only owns that identity proudly, but takes a firm approach to explaining Reid's own privilege to him. He's not merely a rival because they're in the same line of work, but because as a white man, he gets the benefit of the doubt she never does. Their romance is perched upon this precarious truth, and Reid holds onto his secret of spying on Cassie for corporate higher-ups a hair too long to make their reunion entirely satisfying. But Jackson offers up a vibrant world of fierce, sex-positive women who are not only incredibly self-possessed, but eager to help others unlock that within themselves. Reid, with his worn-in leather jacket, is the gentle bad boy every reader has probably fantasized about at some point in their life. So while we can nitpick one pesky loose thread in the storytelling, overall Jackson's debut is the perfect boudoir offering: sexy, playful, enticing, and difficult to divert one's attention from.

Heartbreaker, by Sarah MacLean
With the collective trauma of the pandemic, romance seems particularly soft as late — an even comfier spot to land than the promise of an HEA already offers. But Sarah MacLean returns to prove that love stories can have a fire in their bellies. Heartbreaker is MacLean in top form, a rip-roaring, sensual adventure that manages to turn a series of small rooms in coaching inns into sexy, exciting spaces. As a member of the Hell's Belles, Adelaide Frampton maneuvers her way through Mayfair ballrooms, moving pawns with ease. But she's actually the South Bank's most talented pickpocket, a girl who escaped the cold, unfeeling life of her father's criminal enterprise. When she ends up on a madcap journey across Britain with Henry, Duke of Clayborn, she knows he's not for her — no matter how much she can't stop thinking about their kiss on the Thames. But Henry couldn't disagree more and is all too willing to let Adelaide steal his heart, in spite of his own vow to never marry. MacLean's latest is fun with a capital F, a spectacular, near-cinematic adventure with the stakes and enjoyment of an Indiana Jones movie. Adelaide has spent her life knowing she doesn't truly belong anywhere, but Henry woos her with his dogged refusal to rest until his eloping brother is found and Adelaide has experienced pleasure in a myriad of ways. The roadside interludes are sexy as all hell, and it's staggering how thrilling MacLean manages to make a novel that largely takes place in tiny rooms. But that setting is an ode to the quiet yearnings of the heart, a promise that love can be exhilarating, wondrous, and all-consuming just about anywhere with the right person. And small rooms do not equal small storytelling, with MacLean instead leaning into that intimacy as a means to draw her most robust and intriguing character studies yet. The more MacLean has wandered from ballrooms and the glittering world of society, the more she's found her stride, perfecting a way of storytelling that blends wit, grit, and the subversive promise of radical women and the men who love them. As always, MacLean's writing is delectably feminist. How could it not be with with Adelaide's and the Hell's Belles aims to bring down bad men protected by wealth and power? But Heartbreaker is also slyly provocative in the ways in which Henry is engaged by Adelaide — how he finds her fire, her thievery, and her self-assurance to be assets rather than turn-offs. He's the most decent of heroes, a man dedicated to protecting a family secret while stubbornly insisting on giving his rapscallion brother his due. And his bruising determination to protect Adelaide, even when she insists he not, is romantic in the extreme. Unlike many of MacLean's heroes, Henry isn't a rogue or a member of a criminal enterprise — he's merely a good man, full stop. And for Adelaide and readers alike, few things are as thrilling or rare. But most of all, Heartbreaker is a full-hearted, deeply romantic reminder that romance novels can and should be dangerous and fun in equal measure.

Aphrodite and the Duke, by J.J. McAvoy
J.J. McAvoy adds a new entry to romance's expanding crop of historical romances that center protagonists of color. She opts for the Bridgerton route, employing an alt-history of Black joy and wealth that elides the realities of the 19th century. There's much debate over what is more powerful: historical romance that finds an HEA in spite of such truths and in the context of the past, or one that chooses to gift its characters an escapist fantasy generally the domain of white protagonists. Regardless of where a reader falls on that debate, there's no denying that McAvoy has crafted a lushly romantic tale with a real thread of danger in its pages and a swoony second-chance romance. Aphrodite Du Bell has spent four years nursing a broken heart after the love of her life, Evander Eagleman, the Duke of Everely, inexplicably married another woman. Now that he is a widower, Aphrodite is wary of risking her heart with again, but Evander is determined to win Aphrodite's trust and her hand, even with the litany of secrets he's been keeping. Aphrodite and the Duke reads like a throwback historical romance. Its ballroom glances, illicit eroticism, and a devious illegitimate brother to rival King Lear's Edmund are delicious in the ways they grant people of color a place amid some of the genre's most beloved tropes and soapy plotting. McAvoy's storytelling isn't particularly revelatory, but it is an engrossing read with characters who are easy to root for and just a touch of the Gothic to keep readers on the edge of their seats. And sometimes that joy and that engagement with a setting and story long off limits to people of color is enough.

The Hookup Plan, by Farrah Rochon
All good things must come to an end, and so we must bid a bittersweet adieu to Farrah Rochon's Boyfriend Project series. Of course, she makes it even harder on her readers by delivering another engrossing, feel-good rom-com with plenty of gal-pal banter to boot. Pediatric surgeon London Kelley really needs to figure out this work-life balance thing. When her high-school reunion leads to a casual hookup with her old nemesis Drew Sullivan, she figures she's found the perfect outlet for de-stressing. But the problem is that Drew is not only superb in bed, he's also a caring, decent guy who is the opposite of the arrogant jerk she pegged him for in school. The more time they spend together, the more London can't help but falling for Drew, his grand gestures, and his tender approach to her. The book bursts with Rochon's signature sense of humor, steamy sex scenes, and squee-inducing romance. This series has always been an equal-part love story about the female friendship between London, Samiah, and Taylor — and the conclusion to their story doesn't skimp on that either. Part of London's decision to and commitment to finding a healthier lifestyle stems from their encouragement and advice. The Hookup Plan is a vibrant reminder that no one is an island, and one's entire support system should never be just their significant other. Much of the storytelling also wrestles with the weight of familial expectations. London's unrelenting ambition and rivalry with Drew began with her desire to impress her father, while Drew still carries guilt over his mom's death. London has to learn to let go — of old grudges and impossible expectations. Her happy ending isn't in resolving that trauma so much as it is in claiming her space for herself and setting boundaries. All of which Drew actively supports with his actions and words. Between her father and her status as a Black woman in the medical field, London has spent her entire life working overtime to prove her worthiness. She doesn't need to learn to do more; she needs to give herself a break and a little bit of grace. But the miracle of Rochon's storytelling is that her books are that for her readers in the most meta sense. The first of this series, The Boyfriend Project, hit shelves in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. Each of the three novels has been a balm, and as I recently read The Hookup Plan in the middle of a 3 a.m. bout with insomnia, I thought to myself, "I wish London had Rochon's books to read." They're deliciously fun and sexy, but best of all, they're about forging and accepting love (friendship, romance, familial) on your own terms — and I can't think of anything more soothing.

After Hours on Milagro Street, by Angelina M. Lopez
Angelina M. Lopez has already proved that she can spin the divinely soapy and filthy into resonant romantic gold, but she amplifies that with this first title in her new series. Inspired by her own upbringing as a Mexican American in Kansas, Lopez offers a steamy love story that is also a repudiation of whitewashing history for the sake of upholding narrow definitions of what it is to be American. When Alejandra "Alex" Torres returns to her small hometown with a plan to revitalize her family's bar, she's dismayed to discover that tweedy Professor Jeremiah Post has wormed his way into their hearts and the fabric of the bar. His plan isn't to spruce up the bar to attract more customers, but rather to transform it into a museum. From their first hot-and-heavy meeting, sparks fly between Alex and Jeremiah. Yet their immediate lust is overshadowed by his wariness of her reputation and her resentment of his presumed place in her family. A long-buried family mystery soon forces them to work together, as they both search for a sense of belonging. A family scandal has left Alex feeling abandoned by her family, while Jeremiah feels like the Torres clan are the first people to ever show him what family really means. Lopez's writing aches with a sense of yearning — for love, for acceptance, for a place and a people to call home. The racist bigwigs of her hometown have long asserted their dominance until Jeremiah and Alex realize that the truth offers a far more diverse, inclusive picture than one might assume. After Hours on Milagro Street is about not only uncovering forgotten (or deliberately obscured) histories, it's about restoring the narrative of our collective past and the contributions of a rich tapestry of peoples whose story is often reduced or erased altogether. Romance is almost always an inherently political genre in the ways it asserts its messages about sexuality, pleasure, power dynamics, and more. But Lopez raises that to the next level, making a profound statement about being an American amid absolutely mind-blowing sex scenes. It's her ability to balance these lascivious passages with pointed, meaningful storytelling that sets her work apart and makes her a writer worth returning to again and again.

Scandalized, by Ivy Owens
Scandalized — a debut from the pen name of Lauren Billings, half of the bestselling duo Christina Lauren — lives up to its title. When a flight delay makes journalist Georgia Ross collide with her teenage crush, her best friend's older brother Alec Kim, they spend the hours before their rescheduled flight rediscovering each other. What Georgia doesn't realize is that Alec is a monumentally famous actor with an unlikely connection to the high-profile sex abuse case she's been overseas investigating. The two are purely combustible together, barely able to keep their hands off each other. Owens writes each love scene with gusto, combining a charged eroticism with a tale of hard choices and unexpected romance. Despite their small amount of time together, Alec and Georgia can't get enough, attempting to honor both their harried careers and their growing feelings. The novel's sexual encounters might scandalize the faint of heart, but that just leaves more sinfully delicious sexy times for those of us with filthier minds. The dividing line between romance and erotica often lies in how much the sex scenes advance the plot and character arcs. Owens deftly walks that line, ensuring that each encounter helps Alec and Gigi learn more about themselves, their values, the definition of happiness, and what they're willing to give up for one another. She also writes with a knack for the idiosyncrasies of fandom and Hollywood life, lending the novel a vibrant authenticity. This romance is also threaded with a timely tale of international scandal, sexual assault, and abuse of power. It's a sobering reminder that the #MeToo movement has barely scratched the surface in exposing the most monstrous among us. But Owens is here to remind us that love (and really, really, really hot sex) conquers all.

Crude Oil Prices Pull Back Sharply
(RTTNews) - The price of crude oil showed a substantial move to the downside during trading on Tuesday, giving back ground following the spike seen in the previous session.
After soaring $3.95 to $97.01 a barrel on Monday, the price of crude oil for October delivery plunged $5.37 to $91.64 a barrel.
While signs of OPEC+ production cuts contributed to the surge in the previous session, the pullback came amid indications Iraqi oil production will not be impacted by recent turmoil in the country.
"Oil prices declined as the global growth outlook continues to deteriorate and as geopolitical risks have yet to lead to any disruptions for crude exports," said Edward Moya, senior market analysts and OANDA. "To start the trading week, it seemed energy traders were anticipating some disruptions from either Iraq or Libya and so far that doesn't seem to be the case. "
"The oil market is still tight, so this downward move should not last much longer," he added. "If WTI crude easily breaks below the $90 level, bearish momentum could make this interesting and make a run for the August lows."
The sharp pullback by the price of crude oil also came amid concerns higher interest rates will lead to a global economic slowdown, reducing energy demand.

MONROE, Mich. (AP) — Severe storms that brought damaging winds, heavy rains and flash flooding to parts of the Midwest and the South were blamed for the deaths of three people, including two children in Michigan and Arkansas as well as a woman in Ohio.
Monday’s storms also knocked out electrical service to hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses in Indiana and Michigan, with dozens of schools canceling classes in Michigan alone on Tuesday because of power outages.
In the Michigan city of Monroe, a 14-year-old girl was electrocuted Monday night in the backyard of her home after coming into contact with an electrical line that was knocked down by a thunderstorm, the public safety department said in a Facebook post.
The girl was with a friend and she reached for what she believed was a stick, but it turned out to be the power line, the department said.
And in the Detroit-area community of Warren, two boys were hospitalized — including an 8-year-old who was in critical condition — after one of them touched a downed power line Tuesday morning, The Detroit News reported, citing a fire department official.
In Arkansas, an 11-year-old boy died after he was swept into a storm drain during heavy rainfall Monday, authorities said.
A 47-year-old woman who tried to help the child was also pulled from the drain and taken to a hospital for treatment, according to police in Bentonville. Slow-moving thunderstorms brought heavy rainfall to the area Monday and caused localized flash flooding, the National Weather Service said.
“Those heavy rains, when they fell, a lot of them fell really quickly and in a short time,” said meteorologist Brad McGavock with the weather service in Tulsa, Oklahoma, which covers parts of Arkansas. “Water management through those storm drains can really lead to a big volume of water through those culverts.”
In Ohio, a woman was killed Monday night when a tree fell on her behind her home in Toledo just as a strong storm moved through the area, the city’s fire department said. Her name and age were not released.
The storms were widespread in states including Michigan, Ohio and Indiana. Tree branches and power lines fell while winds gusted as high as 58 mph (93 kilometers per hour) at Battle Creek Executive Airport in Michigan and 60 mph (96 kilometers per hour) in Huntington, Indiana, the weather service reported.
On Monday night, Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves said that he was declaring a state of emergency after excessive rainfall exacerbated problems in one of Jackson’s water-treatment plants and caused low water pressure through much of the capital city. A swollen Pearl River caused flooding in Jackson on Monday, days after storms dumped heavy rain.
The Mississippi flooding was less severe than flooding that caused death and destruction in Kentucky last month. Those floods left at least 39 dead and robbed thousands of families of all of their possessions. Nearly a month later, residents are wrestling with whether to rebuild at the place they call home or to start over somewhere else. | https://cw39.com/news/u-s-news/ap-us-news/ap-storms-blamed-in-deaths-of-2-children-in-michigan-arkansas/ | 2022-08-30T20:44:28Z | https://cw39.com/news/u-s-news/ap-us-news/ap-storms-blamed-in-deaths-of-2-children-in-michigan-arkansas/ | false | 31 |

Warning: The following story contains distressing details of physical, psychological and sexual abuse at residential schools. Yukoners can schedule rapid access counselling at 1-867-456-3838. The national Indian Residential School Crisis Line can be reached at 1-866-925-4419.
Yukon resident Roy Johnson feels he has been the victim of a crime. Some of that crime – his enrolment is residential school between the mid 1950s and the late 1960s – has been publicly acknowledged. Another part has not: Lost months between when Johnson says he was first sent to the Choutla Residential School underage and when he was actually enrolled as a student.
Johnson, a Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in citizen, was born in October 1951. He grew up near Dawson City, but was sent away from home to the Charles Camsell Hospital in Edmonton as a young child because he caught tuberculosis. The disease was spreading rapidly in the Klondike at the time. Johnson said he was about two years old when he was sent away.
En route back home from the hospital, Johnson says he recalls being picked up by who he believes was the Choutla School’s principal at the airport in Whitehorse and taken to the school in Carcross.
He thinks he was kept in Carcross at such a young age because the tuberculosis that had sent him to the hospital in Edmonton was still circulating in Dawson. He recalls the man who took him to Carcross wore a white collar that might have been a priest’s.
Johnson says this was sometime in 1955. He thinks it was the winter of that year because he remembers it was getting dark as he got off the plane from Edmonton to Whitehorse. Johnson says he stayed at the school without going home during the summer of 1956 and then was actually enrolled as a student in January 1957.
The date Johnson first arrived at the school has been a point of contention between him and the government.
The date of arrival is important because it affects Johnson’s Common Experience Payment – a lump-sum payment provided to all residential school survivors following a country-wide class-action lawsuit in 2005. Survivors are entitled to additional money per year spent at residential school.
The federal government has refused to compensate Johnson for his time spent at school prior to 1957, when he was officially enrolled as a student. He has appealed the decision and written letters to various governments fighting it, to no avail.
A decade of abuse and ‘psychological games’
Johnson describes how upon first arriving to the school he didn’t actually attend classes but was often left to play in the corner of the classroom. He said he first slept in the girls’ dormitory, looked after by his sister Audrey, who is five years older. Later, he was moved to the boys’ dormitory to stay with his brothers Frank and Ronald.
Johnson would stay in the Choutla School until 1964 and then attend school in Whitehorse until 1968.
Johnson describes a range of abuse suffered while at the school. He recounts vicious punishment he received from school staff and witnessed other students receiving. These included beatings with straps and students being made to stand on benches anytime they weren’t in class, sometimes for months at a time.
He said boys’ names would be listed off at the start of the summer break and told they would be punished on their return to the school, which Johnson described as a “psychological game.”
Johnson said the most damaging abuse he suffered took place during the time he was at the school but not enrolled as a student. He described being held down, suffocated and raped by an older male student in the other student’s dormitory bed after lights out.
He thinks this was a pre-planned attack on him as the older boy had made his bed with five or six blankets in order to stifle the noise and waited until long after others in the dorm were asleep. Johnson described fighting back and biting down on his attacker’s finger before he began suffocating him. Once the attack was over, Johnson said the older boy threatened to kill him if he spoke about it.
Johnson said this was in early 1956 and he was five years old at the time.
He would later suffer sexual abuse and other forms of torment from staff members at the school.
Poor teaching at the school left Johnson and others behind in learning. He thinks poor report cards from Choutla had him labeled a troublemaker when he went to school in Whitehorse. He said when he was 17, a teacher falsely accused him of cheating on a test and had him expelled from school.
Fighting for proper compensation
Johnson received financial compensation through the Common Experience Payment program in 2004. Documents provided by Johnson show the government recognized Johnson was at Choutla from 1957 until 1964. However, it did not recognize his claim that he was also at Choutla in 1955 and 1956.
An attempt by Johnson to appeal the finding in 2011 and to reopen the process the following year were both denied. He acknowledges making a mistake in his initial filing that stated that he was at the school in 1954, but his appeals asked that he be recognized for the following two years.
“There is no information to suggest that underage pupils were admitted to this residential school at that time. However, the appellant offers the perfectly rational explanation that, ‘at this age, I am illegal,’” reads one of the documents Johnson received as part of the appeal denial.
The same document acknowledges that his absence from school records should not be treated as evidence that he was not there.
Following the unsuccessful conclusion of his appeals, Johnson wrote letters explaining his situation to various government officials including successive prime ministers Stephen Harper and Justin Trudeau. Johnson saved their responses, which each speak to the horrors of the residential school system as a whole but do little to address his case specifically.
Johnson has been diligently searching for more information on his time at residential school, requesting personal records from the federal government and searching archives among other steps. He says he has found it frustrating as some of the records have come back redacted and others are missing dates.
Some key pieces of information, including Johnson’s date of discharge from Charles Camsell Hospital seem lost to history. After sending away for his personal records from the hospital, Johnson received an undated document saying he would be considered for discharge in three months if his condition improved, but not a record of his date of discharge itself. Another document from the hospital saying he was admitted to the hospital in the spring of 1954 gives his year of birth incorrectly and refers to him as a her.
Johnson also retains letters from some of his family members at the Choutla school. The letters, dated from 2002, are signed by his brother Frank and his first cousin Alyce Joe. There is some inconsistency in Roy’s family’s recollections of the year he started at the school, but the 2002 letters and his sister Audrey, interviewed in 2022, agreed he was very young when he first arrived at the school.
Frank’s letter describes how he, Roy and four of their other siblings were sent to the Choutla school after staying at the hospital in Edmonton.
“He would have been four-and-a-half or five-years-old. Such a young age to be introduced to the residential program,” Frank writes about Roy in the letter.
“I came up to my brother’s thigh,” says Roy, recalling their time at Choutla together.
Frank’s letter also details the punishments dealt out by residential school staff on Fridays “a day of reckoning” to end each week. He writes that by the time Roy was “of school age” his name would be first on the list on many of those Fridays.
“When I realized Roy was my cousin, I looked after him like he was my own baby brother,” Alyce Joe wrote in her letter.
Joe describes Johnson as approximately four years old when he came to the school.
Roy’s sister Audrey also describes him being young when he first arrived at Choutla.
“All I remember is well, he was quite young. I think maybe he might have been four years old,” she says.
Audrey recalls that Roy was one of two young boys put in the dormitory with a sister. She can’t recall exactly how long she looked after him before he was moved to the boys’ dorms but said it was a period of a few months. She also recalls being kept at the school through a summer break after being released from the hospital just as Roy was. School staff told her their parents couldn’t care for them.
Besides the time when she looked after Roy, Audrey says she was rarely able to talk to her brothers at the school because the staff didn’t allow much communication between boys and girls.
Although appeals and requests for an apology have proven unsuccessful Johnson still hopes for full recognition of his experience and a correction.
“If I got the sorry from the prime minister, not just the letter it would be uplifting and time to heal,” Johnson says.
“It’s a crime to try to alter someone’s life, there should be something for it. Compensation for loss.”
He sees value in continuing to speak about this painful chapter in his life and the lives of countless other First Nations people.
“Come forward, there’s nothing to be afraid of,” he says.
As for his time at the school that was not recognized, he says that while the government may not have believed him, his brothers, sister and cousin all know he was there. He thinks there are others out there who also know about students being sent to the residential schools at such a young age.

‘Lifesaving’: NYC announces debt relief plan for taxi drivers
Under the new programme, loans for 3,000 drivers who owe an average of $550,000 are to be restructured to a $200,000 maximum.
New York City taxi drivers who owe hundreds of thousands of dollars on loans they took out to operate yellow cabs will see their burdens reduced substantially under a new debt relief programme.
Under the programme announced on Tuesday by city officials, the New York Taxi Workers Alliance (NYTWA) and taxi medallion lender Marblegate Asset Management, loans for 3,000 drivers who owe an average of $550,000 will be restructured to a maximum of $200,000.
Of that, $30,000 will be covered by a grant and the balance will be secured by a city-backed guarantee, the officials said.
The city-backed guarantee means that drivers won’t risk losing their homes if they default, said Bhairavi Desai, the executive director of NYTWA, a drivers’ union. “It’s lifesaving and historic,” she said.
Many taxi drivers who borrowed to buy the medallions that are required to operate a yellow cab landed in deep debt when the value of a medallion plunged from more than $1m in 2014 to $200,000 a few years later. Taxi industry representatives blamed predatory lending practices in the United States – as well as ride-hailing services like Uber – for the crisis.
City officials, the taxi alliance and Marblegate reached a tentative debt relief agreement in November 2021 and worked out the details over the last several months. Under the plan announced Tuesday, medallion owners can apply to refinance their loans starting September 19.
Andrew Milgram, managing partner and chief investment officer of Marblegate Asset Management, said drivers should not wait to apply.
“With a rapidly changing economy, it is vital drivers act in the month of September to realize meaningful debt forgiveness and a sizable reduction in their monthly loan payments,” Milgram said in a statement.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat, praised the deal hammered out by members of his administration including the NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission.
“Our taxicab medallion owners and drivers have always kept New York City moving, and it is finally time we pay it forward with real debt relief for owners in need,” Adams said. “We are likely putting tens of thousands of dollars back into the pockets of these owner-drivers and showing them what real relief looks like.” | https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2022/8/30/lifesaving-nyc-announces-debt-relief-plan-for-taxi-drivers | 2022-08-30T20:58:19Z | https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2022/8/30/lifesaving-nyc-announces-debt-relief-plan-for-taxi-drivers | true | 11 |

Nintendo Fans Believe Next Direct Will Transpire in September 2022
Nintendo fans have convinced themselves that the popular video game publisher is going to hold a new Direct presentation at some point in September 2022. With August coming to a close later this week, the month has come and gone with Nintendo saying very little about its upcoming games that will be coming to Switch. And while the Switch is already due to have a big remainder of 2022, fans are under the impression that a new Direct needs to happen soon so that Nintendo can outline what lies in wait for 2023.

FOREX-Dollar edges higher as oversized Fed rate hike bets rise
By John McCrank
NEW YORK, Aug 30 (Reuters) - The dollar edged higher on Tuesday, but was below the 20-year high it hit a day earlier, while the euro broke back above parity, as markets priced in super-sized interest rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank (ECB).
The greenback has been supported by aggressive rate hikes by the Fed in an effort to reel in decades-high inflation, and economic data released on Tuesday gave the central bank no reason to hold back.
One report showed that U.S. job openings unexpectedly rose in July, while the previous month was revised sharply higher, suggesting a strong economy, despite two straight quarterly declines in gross domestic product.
"This is one critical component of the labor market that will help the Fed justify aggressive rate hikes," said Edward Moya, senior market analyst at Oanda. "If Americans have options to get employed, the Fed can ignore the rapid deterioration with the other economic releases."
Other data showed a bigger-than-expected rebound in U.S. consumer confidence in August after three straight monthly declines, which is potentially a positive signal for consumer spending.
Traders increased their bets on the chance of a third-straight 75-basis-point rate hike by the Fed in September to 74.5% from around 66.5% about an hour before Tuesday's U.S. economic data was released.
The dollar index was up 0.074% at 108.73 at 3:00 p.m. Eastern time (1900 GMT), after touching 109.48 on Monday, its highest level since September 2002.
Some traders had bet the Fed would pivot to a more accommodative stance early in 2023, but those expectations were dashed on Friday when Chairman Jerome Powell said at the Jackson Hole conference in Wyoming that the central bank would raise rates and keep them high for some time.
"The dust is finally settling now post-Jackson Hole, and the question for markets is, what's going to change the narrative? And an argument is it's Friday's payroll, so we're seeing a bit of a consolidation of last week's move playing out here," said Simon Harvey, an FX market analyst at Monex Europe.
All eyes will be on U.S. nonfarm payrolls data for August on Friday, as any cooling in labor demand would ease pressure on the Fed to stick with outsized rate hikes.
The euro was 0.28% higher at $1.00245, rising back above parity with the greenback.
German inflation rose to its highest level in almost 50 years in August, beating a high set only three months earlier, data showed, strengthening the case for the ECB to go for a larger basis-point interest rate increase next month.
The single currency has risen over the past few sessions by aggressive pricing of expected ECB rate hikes, as well as a softening of natural gas prices, said John Hardy head of FX strategy at Saxo Bank.
British and Dutch wholesale gas prices eased on Tuesday as Europe almost reached its target of gas inventories being 80% full.
Sterling fell 0.38% to $1.16615 coming off of a UK bank holiday on Monday.
The dollar was up 0.05% against the rate-sensitive Japanese yen at 138.640 yen.
Bitcoin dipped back below the $20,000 level after having hit a six-week low of $19,526 over the weekend.

New Glasgow Warriors captain says aim is win URC as Franco Smith makes big call
New Glasgow Warriors captain Kyle Steyn says his goal is to win the United Rugby Championship.
Head coach Franco Smith has appointed the Scotland back as skipper in the first major statement of his regime. Steyn takes over from Fraser Brown and Ryan Wilson who have been co-captains for the past two seasons.
“It’s a massive honour for me, and something that I find incredibly humbling,” Steyn told glasgowwarriors.org.
“On the field, the goal is to win the URC. That might sound ridiculous to some, but that’s the kind of tone that we need. We know it’s not going to be an easy road to get there, but I truly believe that this group of players is capable of doing something special.”
Most Popular
Glasgow finished eighth in the regular URC season in 2021-22 and were then thrashed 76-14 by Leinster in the play-off quarter-finals. However, they reached the Pro14 final as recently as 2019 when they were pipped 18-15 by the same opponents at Celtic Park.
Steyn, the 28-year-old centre/wing who played in the final, said his aim was to restore Glasgow’s reputation after the disappointing end to last season which saw Danny Wilson sacked and replaced by Smith.
“First and foremost, we want to be a team that plays in a style that reflects the city that we represent,” said Steyn. “We want to be inspired by our city and to fight for everything like our city and the people that live here have done throughout history.
“I love this club, so when Franco asked me to take on the role of captain I was both shocked and grateful. We’re going in an exciting direction as a group, and it’s a huge privilege for me and my family.”
Steyn said Brown and Wilson had been first to congratulate him on his appointment.
“Franco sat me down just before training and asked how my wedding went, first of all! He then explained his thinking, and then asked me if I’d like to be captain. Ryan and Fras both came up to me as soon as they’d heard and said congratulations, and said we’d grab a beer later on. They’ve been great as captains and I can’t thank them enough.
“Being involved off the pitch with the cultural side of things as much as I can be really helps me understand the gravity of this club and what it means to everyone associated with it. I’m excited to take that mantle on.”
Smith, who left his role as head of high performance with the Italian Rugby Federation to become head coach at Glasgow, said Steyn was part of a “new generation” who he believes can propel the club to greater things.
“Kyle represents everything that Glasgow Warriors stands for,” said the coach. “On and off the field, he understands and embodies our club’s values. He leads by example, and he’s part of a new generation of Warriors that can take this club forward.
“As well as that, though, he's just an absolutely stand-up guy. The way he goes about his business is that of a model professional, and the full squad respects him to a man.”
Steyn, in his fifth season with Glasgow, will captain the club for the first time in the pre-season game against Worcester Warriors in Inverness on Friday.

Girl, 9, trapped under 1,000-lb. hay bale airlifted to children’s hospital, recovering
FOND DU LAC COUNTY, Wis. (WBAY/Gray News) – A 9-year-old girl who was trapped underneath a large bale of hale last week in Wisconsin, was expected to be released from the hospital Tuesday.
Savannah Grahl, 9, and her older sister were playing with new kittens in the calf barn on a family farm, their mother, Tara Grahl, told WBAY.
Grahl said she walked into the barn and found Savannah’s head and neck trapped between two bales of hay that were stacked on top of one another.
With the help of her sister-in-law, the two women were able to lift the 1,000-pound bale off the girl, freeing her.
They got the girl breathing again before first responders arrived. She was eventually flown to Children’s Wisconsin in Milwaukee in critical care.
She moved out of ICU on Saturday, and Grahl announced on Facebook Monday that Savannah would be released from the hospital Tuesday.
Grahl says her daughter will have to wear a neck brace for a few months and will need physical and occupational therapy to regain strength and mobility in her right arm and hand.
“She has the best attitude and has been the best little patient ever,” her mother said, thankful her daughter is alive.

CDC advisers to decide on Omicron-retooled boosters on Sep 1
Advisers to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will meet on Thursday (Aug 30) to vote on whether to recommend the use of two COVID-19 vaccine boosters tailored against the Omicron variant.
A recommendation in favor of the modified vaccines by Pfizer and its German partner BioNTech, as well as Moderna is expected to pave the way for a rollout next week.
The US Food and Drug Administration is yet to authorise the two modified boosters, for which applications were submitted last week.
The so-called bivalent vaccines include both the currently dominant BA.4 and BA.5 Omicron subvariants and the original version of the virus.
While Pfizer's vaccine would be for people aged 12 and older, Moderna's would be for those 18 and older.
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices will also meet on Friday but the CDC did not explain in detail the agenda for the day.

Lance McCutcheon was a long shot to make the Rams’ 53-man roster as an undrafted rookie wide receiver in a crowded position. Now his inspirational story will probably be told for many summers to come if he lives up to the potential he flashed in three standout preseason performances.
McCutcheon beat the odds Tuesday after officially making the Rams’ 53-man roster. McCutcheon, a Montana State product, had a league-high 259 receiving yards in the preseason and quickly made a name for himself after two memorable touchdowns against the Chargers in the preseason opener.
Quarterback Bryce Perkins didn’t face daunting odds, but he was also in a crowded position and needed another standout preseason to force the Rams to keep three quarterbacks for the second consecutive summer. But Perkins’ improvements as a pocket passer might have moved him to No. 2 on the depth chart to possibly surpass John Wolford as the backup behind starter Matthew Stafford.
The Rams are crowded at wide receiver, but they took one less than the eight many assumed after McCutcheon’s breakout performances and the team’s decision to carry only two tight ends. Jacob Harris, a former tight end who moved to wide receiver this year, was one of the surprise cuts. Second-year outside linebacker Chris Garrett was also waived by the team.
Inside linebacker Jake Hummel and outside linebacker Keir Thomas joined McCutcheon as undrafted rookies who made the Rams’ 53-man roster.
Below is the Rams’ full 53-man roster. Check back for updates.

PRAHOVO, Serbia (AP) — The worst drought in Europe in decades has not only scorched farmland and hampered river traffic, it also has exposed a part of almost forgotten World War II history: The hulks of dozens of World War II German battleships have emerged from the Danube River as its water levels have dropped.
In the middle of the mighty river separating Serbia and Romania near the Serbian port of Prahovo, a rusty hull, a broken mast where the swastika flag used to fly, an upper deck where a command bridge used to be, a barrel that could have been holding fuel — or even explosive materials — lean on a pebblestone dune that has emerged from the water.
The ships, some still laden with munition, belonged to Nazi Germany’s Black Sea fleet that was deliberately sunk by the Germans as they retreated from Romania as Soviet forces advanced.
Historians say up to 200 German warships were scuttled in September 1944 near Prahovo in the Danube gorge known as The Iron Gate on the orders of the fleet’s commander as they came under heavy fire from the Soviets. The idea behind the deliberate sinking was to at least slow down the Soviet advance in the Balkans. But it did not help as Nazi Germany surrendered months later, in May 1945.
The unusually hot weather across Europe this summer was linked by scientists to global warming and other factors. The dropping water levels created dangerous conditions for shipping on many rivers on the continent, including the Danube, Europe’s second-longest river that flows through 10 nations. Authorities in Serbia have used dredging to keep vessels moving.
The wrecks appearing from the depths are an impressive sight, but they have caused decades of trouble for those using the river, and now the Serbian government, with European Union support, is planning to do something about them.
Some of the wrecks were removed from the river by the Communist Yugoslav authorities right after the war. But most of them remained, hampering shipping, especially in summer when water levels are low. For years there were plans to take the ships out of the muddy waters, but the operation was considered too risky because of the explosives they carried and there were no funds to do it until recently.
Now, the European Union and the European Investment Bank have agreed to provide loans and grants the operation to pull out some of the vessels near Prahovo in order to improve the traffic capacity of the Danube. The total cost of the operation is estimated at 30 million euros.
“These vessels have been sunk and they have been lying on the river bed ever since,” the European Union ambassador to Serbia, Emanuele Giaufret, said during a recent trip to the wreckage site. “And this is a problem. It’s a problem for the traffic on the Danube, it restricts the capacity to move, it’s a hazard because certain vessels still contain unexploded ordnance.”
Accompanying Giaufret was Alessandro Bragonzi, the head of the European Investment Bank in the Western Balkans.
He said the project consists of the removal of 21 sunken vessels.
“It has been estimated that more vessels are underwater, up to 40, but those that are currently impeding the fairway conditions of the Danube, especially during periods of low water level, are 21,” Bragonzi said.
Experts say the salvage operation will consist of removing the explosive materials from the sunken vessels and then destroying the wrecks, rather than dragging the ships out of the river. | https://whnt.com/news/international/ap-international/ap-danube-drought-reveals-parts-of-hidden-wwii-history/ | 2022-08-30T21:18:11Z | https://whnt.com/news/international/ap-international/ap-danube-drought-reveals-parts-of-hidden-wwii-history/ | false | 51 |
New portal launched to track DC's spending of federal stimulus education funds
WASHINGTON (FOX 5 DC) - D.C. education officials have launched a new web portal to keep the public informed about how the District is using nearly $1 billion of federal stimulus funds for students, education agencies and the early childhood education sector in D.C.
The Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) is responsible for overseeing the management of the nearly $1 billion dollars of federal stimulus funds.
The new portal offers transparent data and information. Visitors can view breakdowns of recovery funding by source and focus area, details on how OSSE is investing funds over which the agency has greater discretion and interactive dashboards that include data about local education agency (LEA) spending of Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund (ESSER) money.

"We are committed to keeping stakeholders informed about the sources and uses of these recovery funds" said State Superintendent Dr. Christina Grant. "The collective recovery and restoration work we are doing in the District’s public education and early childhood education sectors will allow us to strategically address student and educator needs now and in the future."
OSSE identified seven primary areas of focus for targeting state-led investments in recovery and restoration: accelerating learning, supporting safe reopening, promoting student and staff wellbeing, reimagining pathways to postsecondary success, stabilizing and strengthening early childhood education, improving outcomes for students with disabilities and investing in core infrastructure and operations. LEA spending of ESSER funds focuses on accelerating learning, supporting safe reopening and promoting student and staff wellbeing.
OSSE has also invested recovery funds to improve high-quality instructional materials in math and literacy, increase literacy training in the science of reading for teachers, supported extended learning time through our summer accelerator grant and enabled the launch of the DC Special Education Hub, a family resource center for students with disabilities.
"We’ll continue to focus our investments in areas that accelerate learning for all students, but especially for those who have been most impacted by the pandemic and interrupted instruction," said Superintendent Grant.

The Monkees’ Micky Dolenz Suing the FBI to Access Bureau’s File on Band
Plenty of musicians spoke out against and wrote songs about the Vietnam War during the late 1960s — it was part of the counterculture. Apparently, the FBI kept a close eye on these artists, one of which were The Monkees. Micky Dolenz, the only surviving member of the band, is now suing the Bureau after they failed to fulfill his request to see a file they have on the band, according to Rolling Stone.
The report was filed by an FBI informant in 1967 after they attended a Monkees concert. It was the rockers' very first tour, and "during the concert, subliminal messages were depicted on the screen which, in the opinion of [informant’s name redacted], constituted ‘left wing intervention of a political nature,'” a portion of the file reads. "These messages and pictures were flashed of riots, in Berkley, anti-U.S. messages on the war in Vietnam, racial riots in Selma, Alabama, and similar messages which had unfavorable response[s] from the audience.”
This part of the file was released to the public in 2011, but Dolenz wants to view it in its entirety. Back in June, the musician's attorney Mark S. Zaid filed a Freedom of Information Act request to see the full FBI file, as well as any others on Dolenz and his Monkees bandmates, Davy Jones, Michael Nesmith and Peter Tork. However, the Bureau didn't respond within the required 20-business day timeframe, therefore, it's become a lawsuit.
“This lawsuit is designed to obtain any records the FBI created and/or possesses on the Monkees as well as its individual members,” the suit explains. “Mr. Dolenz has exhausted all necessary required administrative remedies with respect to his [Freedom of Information Act/Privacy Act] request.”
Rolling Stone notes that Zaid met Dolenz rather recently, and the attorney suggested they see if the FBI had any files on the musicians without realizing one actually existed.
“That just kind of reinforced for me that there was actually something here,” Zaid affirmed. “It’s not just a fishing expedition. I mean, we’re still fishing, but we know there’s fish in the water.”
During the 1960s, J. Edgar Hoover was the director of the FBI, and Zaid added that they kept a close watch on the counterculture, so sending an informant to a concert would not have been out of the realm of possibility.
“Theoretically, anything could be in those files though,” Zaid stated. “We have no idea what records even exist. It could be almost nothing. But we’ll see soon enough.”

TORONTO - The Canadian National Exhibition is getting in on the crypto art craze.
Organizers of the Toronto fair launched a non-fungible token titled “Finding the Balance” on Tuesday.
The CNE says it commissioned Canadian-Polish artist Voitek Pendrak to create the blockchain-backed collectible.
The NFT features an archival image of a tightrope walker that has been altered to show the performer balancing a visual model of the novel coronavirus on one side and COVID-19 vaccine on the other.
The CNE says the 3D NFT, which also shows an animated Canadian flag, “speaks to the balance that Canadians must strike in this time of continued pandemic-related ambiguity and change.”
“Finding the Balance” is up for bids on the digital marketplace Rarible, alongside a NFT of Queen’s Freddie Mercury performing at the CNE in 1980.

NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) is a formidable technology company specializing in gaming and data center products. We previously published a negative piece on Nvidia on SA, citing its over-exposure to crypto mining. Following last week's F2Q23 results, we remain bearish on NVDA and believe there is more downside for the stock from the current levels, primarily driven by weakening demand for data center products and the glut of GPUs in the secondary markets and in the channels.
Our bearish thesis is based on our belief that the stock pullback will continue as gaming demand remains weak and data center demand slows down materially. We believe the stock's 46% drop YTD is due to its exposure to GPU-related sales and Ethereum's switch to Proof of Stake (PoS), which no longer requires GPUs to mine crypto. We believe weak GPU demand will continue due to channel inventory and as Ethereum completes its transition to PoS in September. However, we expect more downside as demand for data centers also normalizes. While we are bullish on the company's long-term prospects, we believe the company still has more downside ahead and recommend investors sell the stock at current levels. We will revisit the NVDA story as we seek positive inflection in its business.
We called out NVDA's exposure to GPU-related sales earlier this year, and last week's earnings confirmed our belief as gaming revenue fell 44% sequentially. We believe NVDA's gaming sector has no meaningful growth catalysts as Ethereum completes its switch from Proof of Work (PoW) to Proof of Stake. The transition will allow individuals to mine crypto without the use of GPUs. We believe the transition has depressed NVDA's GPU sales significantly and caused the gaming revenue to drop steeply. The following graph maps out NVDA's stock against Ethereum's hash rate to reiterate NVDA's exposure to crypto-mining-related GPUs and its decline without crypto-related GPU sales.
We believe the weakened demand has created excess channel inventory for GPUs. NVDA's exposure to crypto-mining-related GPU sales is around $1.5B per quarter. We don't expect the gaming demand that once was to return as Ethereum announced they would be solidifying their transition to PoS in September. We believe NVDA GPU sales will also be hurt by reselling once crypto-mining GPUs into secondary markets. We believe NVDA will continue to face the repercussions of its crypto exposure and maintain our belief that NVDA's worst days are not behind it yet.
We do not believe NVDA's data center segment will be able to offset the gaming decline because we believe data center demand will likely slowdown in the coming quarters. We believe the weakening consumer spending is catching up to data centers. Sluggish demand for smartphones and PCs has weakened demand for cloud services (whether it's cloud-based services, entertainment, or offices). We also believe supply chain issues are triggering a Toilet Paper Effect regarding data centers. Supply bottlenecks are making companies double order more than they will need in the near term. We believe NVDA's next most significant challenge will be the slowdown of data center demand.
In last week's earnings call, CEO Jensen Huang attributed the weaker-than-expected 1% sequential growth in data centers to lower sales to "China hyperscale customers." We expect a similar situation with hyperscale customers in other geographies, eventually. We believe the coming data center slowdown was understated in the call, and it will be another shoe that will likely drop over the next few months.
While data center and gaming markets have solid prospects in the long run, we believe macroeconomic headwinds are beginning to bite in the near term. The competition between Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) continues to heat up following AMD's acquisition of ATI. AMD combines the CPU and parallel graphics processing engines onto a single chip. AMD chips are now powering Sony PS4 PlayStation, Nintendo's Wii U, and Microsoft's Xbox One. In addition, AMD's acquisition of Xilinx poses a severe challenge to Nvidia's position within the data-center chip market. Xilinx's AlveoAI accelerator cards are being used in HPC applications such as real-time machine learning, data analytics, video processing, and genomics.
With AMD executing well on both its products front and sales front, we believe NVDA's business is at risk. With Nvidia trading at a higher multiple than AMD, there is no room for error in Nvidia's execution.
Over the next two to three quarters, we expect enterprise data centers and hyperscale cloud customer demand to slacken. Many software companies such as Splunk (SPLK), Microsoft (MSFT), Workday (WDAY), and ServiceNow (NOW) have already noted increasing deal scrutiny and elongated deal cycles. We do not believe any software/hardware vendor is immune to demand weakness, as companies are becoming conservative with their IT purchases.
Despite having one of the best portfolios in the industry, we expect the demand for Nvidia's data center products to lessen over the next few months. In addition, the pandemic drove the PC shipments from around 260-270 million units to over 330 million units, as many employees switched to working from home. As the pandemic began to ease, we expect the PC unit shipments to revert to their historical mean of around 270 million units per year, pressuring the graphics card shipments.
We expect Nvidia to lower estimates again next quarter, pressuring the stock. Therefore, we recommend investors wait for the dust to settle and a better entry point before they buy shares in Nvidia
Despite weaker outlooks for the October quarter, NVDA stock is still expensive. On a P/E basis, NVDA is trading at 35x C2023 EPS $4.51 compared to the peer group average of 15.9x. The stock is trading at 12.9x EV/C2023 sales versus the group average of 4.4x. We believe the impending data center weakness is not priced into the stock yet. We expect the stock to pull back even further as demand headwinds continue to materialize and recommend investors to sell while they can.
The following chart illustrates the semiconductor peer group valuation.
Wall Street's sell-side is still overwhelmingly buy-rated on NVDA. Of the 46 analysts, 37 are buy-rated, and the remaining are hold-rated. We believe sell-side ratings are too optimistic to assume that NVDA's weakness is priced for further downside. NVDA is currently trading at $158, and we expect it to pull back further. We would not be surprised to see the stock at $125 levels in the next few weeks/months. The median sell-side price target is $215, and the mean at $216, with a potential 36-37% upside.
The following chart indicates NVDA stock's sell-side ratings and price targets:
We expect more downside ahead for NVDA as the data center, and gaming weakness materializes. NVDA faces depressing sales in its biggest segment, gaming, as Ethereum transitions to PoS, and channel inventory will likely pile up. We do not see GPU demand rebounding meaningfully in the next two quarters. However, our newest concern for NVDA is demand slowdown in data center is due to double ordering. We expect the stock to pull back from current levels and strongly recommend selling.

DAVE DAVIES, HOST:
This is FRESH AIR. I'm Dave Davies, in for Terry Gross, who's off this week. Increasing wealth inequality has become a widely acknowledged problem in the United States in recent years. When the Biden administration pushed for passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, there were hopes it would take a step toward fairness by adjusting tax rates or policies for the wealthy and by strengthening the Internal Revenue Service's capacity to ensure people and corporations pay what they owe.
For some insight into what's happened and the state of tax policies for the wealthy, we turn to Jesse Eisinger, senior editor and reporter at ProPublica, an independent nonprofit news organization focused on investigative reporting. He's written on the IRS' efforts to tax the rich in recent years. And over the last several months, he's been an editor and worked with a team of reporters on a series of stories drawn from a vast trove of IRS data ProPublica obtained. The data included information on the tax returns of thousands of the nation's wealthiest people covering more than 15 years. The stories covered a variety of ways the ultrarich shield income from federal taxation, such as claiming deductions from expensive hobbies, like thoroughbred horse racing. Jesse Eisinger is a veteran investigative reporter. In 2011, he and ProPublica's Jake Bernstein won a Pulitzer Prize for their reporting on questionable practices on Wall Street.
Jesse Eisinger, welcome back to FRESH AIR. Let's talk about the Inflation Reduction Act. There were a lot of goals for this legislation, and one of them was putting a dent in inequality of wealth. There was reporting that, you know, that there were changes in corporate taxes that were meaningful, could generate as much as $300 billion in revenue. What's the story here? What actually happened?
JESSE EISINGER: Yes, this is a bad news and good news story for taxing the wealthy and holding the wealthy accountable. In the bad news, the ambitions of the Democrats were ratcheted back significantly as they were for their other policy goals, as in climate and social welfare spending. We have a consensus now that wealth inequality is an enormous problem in the country, at least among economists, many policymakers and Democrats and even some centrist-thinking Republicans. But we don't have a system that taxes the wealthy equitably. And there were efforts proposed to address this by the Biden administration and by Democrats. But in the end, they did not do anything to address taxes on the wealthy and particularly the ultrawealthy in any significant measure. But they did do some things that will be positive and bring about a fairer tax system.
DAVIES: One thing that the Inflation Reduction Act does is provide significant new funding for the IRS, which is generally regarded as underfunded and understaffed. This is something that you have written about. Just take a moment here and give us a sense of how much the IRS has lost in recent years in staff and budget and why.
EISINGER: So Paul Kiel and I explored this in a series of stories a couple of years ago, and the IRS has been gutted, primarily starting in 2010 when Republicans took over Congress and started slashing the budget. The result of this is an agency on life support today. The budget is down in real dollars, about $2 billion. It's roughly going to be about a $13 billion budget. So this is huge, significant budget cut. And the result of this is that tens of thousands of employees have left the agency in recent years. The systems have not been upgraded. In fact, some systems actually run an ancient computer language called COBOL, and they have to take people out of retirement to update it when they need a fix. So the systems are really decrepit. The - those tens of thousands of people, many of them were the best, most able employees who could get jobs in the private sector. So it even understates how significant those personnel losses are.
And the result is that audits have collapsed. Audits for the wealthy have collapsed by 80%. And audits for the largest corporations - it used to be that the largest corporations were audited more than once a year because the IRS was in there every single year and sometimes auditing multiple years simultaneously. Now, barely half of the largest companies get audited every year, and the audits are much thinner. They're much less thorough. They're looking at many fewer things. And it means that we collect less taxes, particularly from the wealthy.
DAVIES: What exactly does the Inflation Reduction Act provide for the IRS?
EISINGER: So the Inflation Reduction Act provides $80 billion to the IRS in addition to its regular budget over 10 years. And it was clear when we were writing our series that the IRS was now a reclamation project that was going to take years and billions and billions of dollars. And now we have that. It's one of the biggest influxes of money into an ailing federal agency in modern memory. And what it's going to do is help the IRS upgrade its systems, its computer systems. I was telling you about the antiquated computer languages that it uses. A lot of what it still does is on paper with fax machines. They don't have enough people to answer the phones. So you can wait hours and hours if you try to call the - have a question answered. So a lot of that is just going to be what they call customer service.
And then there's going to be a significant boost to the enforcement budget. Forty-five billion dollars of that $80 billion is supposed to go to new enforcement. And what that enforcement is - will be audits, particularly of the wealthy, and corporations and then enforcing our tax laws. One of the consequences of the collapse is that we almost never prosecute tax evasion now. Audits look at tax avoidance and try to figure out whether you're avoiding taxes improperly. It's not necessarily a crime. And then there's tax evasion, having some secret effort to avoid taxes illegally. And we almost never investigate and prosecute tax evaders.
DAVIES: A lot of Republicans have attacked this additional IRS funding, saying that they're really going after ordinary Americans and that it's going to be an intrusive attack. And I have to share quotes that were in The Washington Post from House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy. This is the Republican leader in the U.S. House of Representatives. He said, quote, "do you know what the IRS has? Four thousand six hundred guns, 5 million rounds of ammunition. Why? Democrats want to double its already massive size." He further adds, "with this new power, the IRS will snoop around in your bank account, your Venmo, your small business. They, the government, will shake you down for every last cent." And then he adds that in light of the FBI's search on, you know, President Trump's home in Mar-a-Lago, "do you really trust this administration's IRS to be fair, not to abuse their power?" This has really gotten some traction, particularly in conservative media. What do you make of all that?
EISINGER: Well, I mean, let's be frank. It's ridiculous. These claims are based on lies. They're lying that these IRS agents are going to be armed. A bare, small percentage of them will be for only the most egregious situations of tax evasion for drug dealers, you know, cartel owners, organized crime. And they're going to have more agents, but they're losing agents at a huge clip and you - losing employees at a huge clip, so they can't answer phones for people. So most of these new employees are going to be answering phones for average people and helping them get their questions answered so that they can pay taxes.
This is a campaign against the IRS to protect corporations and the wealthy because corporations and the wealthy have had it so good for the last few years and decades and been able to avoid taxes and their tax burden - the largest corporations and the wealthy, especially the ultrawealthy - has collapsed. They're not paying their fair share. And the Republicans are protecting those people by attacking the IRS. And it would be comical - these lies are so easily debunked - except that when they talk about the IRS wielding weapons and Chuck Grassley talked about agents having AK-15s - I think he meant AR-15s, which is ludicrous - what that's doing is putting civil servants, hardworking IRS people, at risk. And in fact, the commissioner of the IRS, just in the recent days, had to put a safety alert out and a safety assessment out for employees because of all the threats that IRS employees are experiencing.
DAVIES: Right. And the recent events surrounding the FBI after the search at Mar-a-Lago underlines the, you know, the real - the credibility of some of those threats. You know, you say that - the treasury officials say that a lot of this increased enforcement and auditing activity will be directed at the wealthy, and we'll see how that plays out. But when you and Paul Kiel were doing your work on the IRS, you also looked at what kinds of audits have been conducted in recent years, particularly, you know, as the agency has lost personnel. And you have a story - I just have to mention this - about the earned-income tax credit and people who were audited for allegedly abusing this break. You want to just explain what the earned-income tax credit is and what happened here?
EISINGER: Sure. The result of this is that if you are a member of the working poor in this country, if you make roughly 20 or $30,000 a year, you're more likely to be audited than if you make $500,000 a year in this country. That is the result of the massive budget cuts from the Republicans. So what is the earned-income tax credit? Well, it's one of our biggest social welfare programs, and it provides extra money - and it's a really significant amount of money when you are a member of the working poor - several thousand dollars a year to add to your $20,000 of income. You have to have a job to get the earned-income tax credit. But because money is going out, Republicans in particular have attacked this program.
DAVIES: Well, and it's particularly troubling because people who are taking advantage of this tax credit are living paycheck to paycheck. They count on the refunds that they're going to get. You tell the story of a 28-year-old woman who's expecting a $2,000 refund. And she gets a computer-generated letter saying we must - we have questions about your return and your use of this tax credit. Please send us all of your W-2s, et cetera, et cetera, all kinds of information. What happens then, when a, you know, a staff-depleted IRS has to follow-up on this kind of audit?
EISINGER: Yes. Well, people don't answer the phones. You can't get a straight answer. It's incredibly time-consuming. A lot of these people are holding down two jobs. They may be single mothers. And let's be clear about what's happening, is that the most audited county in the United States, when Paul and I did this story, was a majority-Black county in Mississippi. These audits fall disproportionately on not just the poor, but people of color. And so the most audited county in America being a Black county speaks to the essential unfairness of our tax system.
DAVIES: All right. We're going to take a break here. Let me reintroduce you. We are speaking with Jesse Eisinger. He's a senior reporter and editor at ProPublica. We'll be back to continue our conversation in just a moment. This is FRESH AIR.
(SOUNDBITE OF VIJAY IYER'S "BLACK AND TAN FANTASY")
DAVIES: This is FRESH AIR, and we're talking with Jesse Eisinger. He's a senior editor and reporter at ProPublica. He worked with a team of reporters recently on a series of stories about ways the wealthiest Americans drastically reduce their tax obligations.
So let's talk about this tax avoidance project that you and many other reporters at ProPublica did. And this was based on a trove of IRS data. And you say in the reporting that you cannot disclose how you got this data. What can you tell us about its contents - how many taxpayers, all that?
EISINGER: Yeah, we got a vast trove of private tax-return information about only the wealthiest individuals in America. So we have thousands of individuals. We have it going back for more than 15 years. But it's really the 1% of the 1% - the billionaire class. We don't have waitresses. We don't even have doctors or lawyers. We have, as I say, billionaires. And we obtained it. It's probably the biggest single trove of private tax information that's ever been obtained by any journalistic or academic entity in the history of the country. And we've been culling it for stories that we believe are in the public interest.
DAVIES: Right. And you acknowledge, in the stories, that privacy is a legitimate concern. It is no small thing for journalists or others to get this kind of information. What did you decide is fair to print? And what did you not print?
EISINGER: Yeah, this was a delicate effort. And we took this very seriously and were extremely careful with the information. And we thought that the stories we had, the public interest of the stories we had, outweighed the privacy concerns of the billionaires that we were writing about. What we found was that the billionaire class operate in a completely different universe than average people when it comes to taxes. And these data provided, like the Webb telescope, the most vivid, clearest images that we have ever seen of billionaire tax avoidance. And that was so overwhelmingly important that we thought we had to get it out even though these data were so sensitive.
DAVIES: All right. We'll talk about some of the ways that the wealthiest Americans reduce their tax bills. But one of the things that you did was you simply - you did a calculation of what they're really paying over how much their financial well-being increased in a given year. That is to say, if you look at what they reported as income compared to their tax, it - maybe not so far out of line, but that really doesn't capture their reality. You came up with what you said was the real tax rates. You want to explain how you did this and what it showed?
EISINGER: Yeah, sure. So for the billionaire class, what's really important is how much their wealth grows in a given year. The rest of us, we have income, and we need income to live. But for the billionaire class, they don't actually need income. They avoid income. If you avoid income, you avoid taxes. And so it turns out that the billionaire class pays much less in tax than average people. And what we found is that Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk and Michael Bloomberg and Carl Icahn, they literally, in recent years, paid zero in federal income tax. And what you do is you let your mountain of wealth grow over time. You let Amazon stock grow. Or if you're Warren Buffett, you let Berkshire Hathaway go up and up and up. And you never sell. And if you never sell, you don't take any income.
And how are these people living if they don't sell? Well, often, what they do is they borrow against their wealth. And if you're borrowing against your wealth, that's not taxed. So ultimately, what we found was that the ultrawealthy in this country, they had wealth growth of $400 billion from 2014 to 2018, and they paid about $14 billion in taxes. And so average people pay roughly 15% in federal income taxes effectively, and the ultrawealthy paid 3.4% when compared to their wealth growth.
DAVIES: You said the IRS is afraid of the ultrawealthy I mean, I guess that's a euphemism for saying their experience is when the ultrawealthy get all of their tax lawyers and accountants in the game, the IRS loses?
EISINGER: The IRS is utterly overmatched and under-resourced when it comes to going after the superrich for their tax avoidance strategies. The superrich have huge battalions of lawyers and accountants to envelop their affairs in ways that look legitimate and complicated and hard to parse and get to the bottom of.
One of the things that the ultrawealthy do is they have corporations that own partnerships that own partnerships that own partnerships that finally trickle down to provide income for the individual. And to get through those Russian-doll structures and open it up and open it up to figure out who actually owns it and who's making the money and who's losing the money and whether that's legitimate would take years and many, many people. And the IRS just doesn't have the resources. And when they try to do it, they confront these battalions of lawyers and accountants and get overwhelmed. And so it becomes very difficult. And what the result is, is that they don't do that as often. They're scared.
DAVIES: OK. We're going to take another break here. Let me reintroduce you. We are speaking with Jesse Eisinger. He's a senior editor and reporter at ProPublica. He'll be back to talk more after this short break. I'm Dave Davies, and this is FRESH AIR.
(SOUNDBITE OF CHARLIE MOLES' "IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST - FRONT TITLES")
DAVIES: This is FRESH AIR. I'm Dave Davies, in for Terry Gross, who's off this week. Our guest is Jesse Eisinger, a senior editor and reporter at ProPublica. He worked with a team of reporters on a series of stories about the many ways the wealthiest Americans drastically reduce their tax obligations. Much of that reporting was drawn from a large trove of IRS tax data that ProPublica acquired, which included information on the returns of thousands of the nation's wealthiest people, covering more than 15 years.
Well, Jesse Eisinger, we were talking about how the wealthiest Americans tend not to pay much because they don't report what's technically income. What they do is they accrue wealth through their assets, which you don't get taxed on until you actually sell the assets. And then what they do is they borrow when they need living expenses, they borrow. And they count those assets as collateral for the loans. And money that you borrow, you don't pay taxes on. So that's a nice little move. But it occurred to me as I read that that, well, you do have to repay the loans, right? And to repay the loans, you got to get that cash from somewhere. Wouldn't that generate income as the IRS sees it, and generate tax liability?
EISINGER: You would think so. But actually, the wealthy don't have to repay those loans often. They can just keep borrowing until they die. And this is a technique that has been coined by a USC tax law professor as buy, borrow, die. What you do is you buy or you build your asset like Amazon or Berkshire Hathaway or Tesla, and then you borrow against the asset. And there's no evidence that Bezos or Buffett has done this. But Musk discloses this in his SEC filings that he does this. And Larry Ellison, another mega billionaire, also has borrowed billions and billions of dollars. So this is a common technique. You buy, borrow, and then you can keep those debts as long as nothing catastrophic happens to your stock or your asset. You keep those debts rolling and rolling and rolling until you die.
And then when you die, there are a couple of tax loopholes that come into play that allow you to wipe out those capital gains for the purposes of taxes. And then you never have to pay taxes on the gains at all. And then the lovely thing is that the debts come off the size of estate. And so if you were subject to estate taxes - many of these people are not because you can get around estate taxes - but if you were, the debts actually reduce the size of your estate. It's a win-win-win to never pay taxes when you're alive and not pay taxes after you've died.
DAVIES: I want to make sure I understand this. When I think of a loan, I think of a few thousand dollars. You're saying that some of these people will actually borrow - from what? - a bank, I guess, or out of some financial institution, hundreds of millions of dollars, the collateral being their enormous assets?
EISINGER: Billions of dollars with a B...
DAVIES: Like, goes into a bank account that you can write checks on? You can spend billions based on these loans?
EISINGER: Well, these poor guys, they have trouble spending billions. Even they, in their wonderful, bountiful appetites and imagination, it's hard to spend billions. But they can buy lots of yachts. Larry Ellison is well known for buying sailing teams. And actually, Ellison owns an entire Hawaiian island. So with enough imagination, you can figure out how to spend billions, and they really put their minds to it.
DAVIES: What's interesting about this is that this is not tax evasion, right? It's tax avoidance. The difference, the distinction being it's legal. They're not doing anything illegal. They're not - it's not secret accounts. It's not, you know, they're not phony, you know, charities hiding money. This is all legal, right?
EISINGER: That's an absolutely crucial point to all of this, is that this does not require illegality. It doesn't even require complex lawyers or accountants finding you loopholes. The basic inequity of our tax system is based on what we tax and what we don't tax. And there are two structural issues. One is that we do not tax unrealized gains. The other that we alluded to earlier with the carried interest loophole is that we tax capital at much, much lower rates than labor income. And it's easy, it's - they understand it. It's not complex. And it's completely attainable and available to them from any major bank.
DAVIES: You know, being the credible journalists that you are, you asked everyone that you wrote about in this for comment. Not surprisingly, many ignored your inquiries. Of those who responded, what were some of the more interesting responses?
EISINGER: We got some very telling responses from the few people who engaged with our reporting. As you say, most people just ignored this issue because they see no percentage in commenting on how good the billionaire class has it. But Warren Buffett did respond to us. And Warren Buffett may be the king of American tax avoidance. He has sold so little Berkshire Hathaway and takes so little income that his true tax rate is actually .1%. And it's an astonishingly low number. And what Buffett said is, look, I'm going to give my money away to charity, and I'm a better allocator of money to causes that are important than the federal government. The federal government is going to pay down its debts with my money and I can give it to societally beneficial issues. And so I think that's better.
And one response to that is, well, I happen to think that I could spend federal money much better than the federal government and even probably better than Warren Buffett. And probably every listener out there thinks he or she could also spend federal government money better than I could or Warren Buffett could. And we don't do that in a democratic society. We have a democracy, a democratically elected government, allocate funds for societal needs rather than giving them up to individuals, except the billionaire class, who really is able to do that because of our tax system.
DAVIES: Well, while we're on the subject, does Buffett actually give - you know, do - philanthropic contributions and social spending on the kind of scale that would amount to a fair taxation rate?
EISINGER: Fair enough. He does give lots and lots of money away and is pledging to give the entirety of his wealth away - almost the entirety of his wealth. I mean, he's given billions and billions of dollars to his children, but he's planning to give most of it away. But, again, what this is is it amounts to an enormous tax subsidy from us to Warren Buffett to allocate to his favorite charities.
And when you talk about charities, some may be beneficial. Some people may be getting rid of African River Blindness, but others are giving to Harvard and Yale to burnish their reputations. And do Harvard and Yale need that money? Maybe. Maybe not. Or they give to private museums that are on land that you can't get into so the public can't see them. Those are the kinds of donations that may not be as socially beneficial as the government providing for retirement for the elderly.
DAVIES: All right. Let's take another break here. I need to reintroduce you. We are speaking with Jesse Eisinger. He's a senior editor and reporter at ProPublica. We will continue this conversation right after this break. This is FRESH AIR.
(SOUNDBITE OF ROBBEN FORD AND BILL EVANS' "CATCH A RIDE")
DAVIES: This is FRESH AIR, and we are speaking with Jesse Eisinger. He's a senior editor and reporter at ProPublica. He worked with a team of reporters on a series of stories about the many ways the wealthiest Americans reduce their tax obligations, much of that drawn from a large trove of IRS tax data that ProPublica acquired, which include information about the returns of thousands of the nation's wealthiest people.
When you got all this information, you looked at individual people and their returns and their deductions and all this, and you could put together a picture that just wasn't possible before. When you did this, you discovered that one of the people who was doing this had been a contributor to ProPublica. That was kind of interesting.
EISINGER: Yes. We tried to report this without fear or favor. And in the end, we ended up reporting on several ProPublica contributors. We are dependent often on the ultrawealthy for donations. They get the charitable donation, which we have written about and questioned and - when they donate to ProPublica.
So this was a big risk for this news organization. And Steve Engelberg, the editor-in-chief, and Dick Tofel, who was our CEO at the time, had to take into account both that risk that we would anger this donor class and the risk - the legal risk because it could be construed and it has been argued that what we're doing is illegal in publishing these data.
We think that our First Amendment rights supersede the questionable - the questions about the legality of what we're doing. But it was a risk. So it was an enormous risk that ProPublica did in backing me and my team. And I'm really grateful for that.
DAVIES: So apart from hobbies that the wealthy structure as businesses so they can take deductions, you write that there are a lot that take big deductions from real businesses, like hotels and resorts. Some that you cite pay no taxes for years on end. And this is a little confusing to me. I'm going to play a clip from the "Seinfeld" series when Jerry and Kramer are talking about writing things off. Let's listen to this.
(SOUNDBITE OF TV SHOW, "SEINFELD")
MICHAEL RICHARDS: (As Kramer) It's a write-off for them.
JERRY SEINFELD: (As Jerry Seinfeld) How is it a write-off?
RICHARDS: (As Kramer) They just write it off.
(LAUGHTER)
SEINFELD: (As Jerry Seinfeld) Write it off what?
RICHARDS: (As Kramer) Jerry, all these big companies, they write off everything.
SEINFELD: (As Jerry Seinfeld) You don't even know what a write-off is.
(LAUGHTER)
RICHARDS: (As Kramer) Do you?
SEINFELD: (As Jerry Seinfeld) No, I don't.
(LAUGHTER)
RICHARDS: (As Kramer) But they do, and they're the ones writing it off.
(LAUGHTER)
DAVIES: That's from the series "Seinfeld."
I mean, it is true. This is mysterious to most of us. And I have to say, if somebody is wealthy and they set up a real business - right? - and then they get losses that they can then count as tax deductions, it just seems strange because for every dollar of tax avoidance you get from those losses, you're actually paying a dollar, losing a dollar in an unprofitable business. So it seems what you're really doing is instead of paying the IRS, you're paying the suppliers and employees of your business. What - how do you gain from that? It seems like a wash.
EISINGER: You're so naive (laughter).
DAVIES: That's why I'm here and you're there.
EISINGER: So real estate - commercial real estate moguls barely pay any taxes. We saw this with Donald Trump's taxes. And the owner of the Miami Dolphins is a billionaire named Stephen Ross. He developed Hudson Yards in New York, one of the biggest developments in recent years in New York City. And he's gone almost 20 years never paying any federal income tax. In fact, he tells the IRS in a given year, I've lost $400 million.
Well, is he actually losing that money? No. What's happening with commercial real estate people is that their buildings often are appreciating. They're going up in value, and they're throwing off income when the renters give them income. But they get to tell the IRS that the buildings are falling in value, they're depreciating, because over time, assets are considered to depreciate.
Like your car - when your car goes off the lot on the first day, it starts to lose value. Well, they get to say that their buildings are losing value in that same way, except they're not. As I say, for the buildings in the biggest cities in America, typically, they're going up in value. So you get to tell the IRS something that's not true. You get to tell the IRS that something is losing money when it's actually making money. And by doing that, you get to avoid taxes. And so then what you can do is you can go into a hobby of having a boutique hotel and keep putting money into that and tinkering away.
We found - Paul Kiel and I found a guy named Ty Warner they - who made Beanie Babies - a fortune in Beanie Babies. And he's a guy who hates paying taxes. And we know this because when he made his first billions, the first thing he did was get on a plane and open a secret Swiss bank account so he wouldn't have to pay taxes. And that's illegal, and he got caught. And he didn't actually go to prison because we don't really send rich, white billionaires to prison very often in this country. But he did get caught, and he had to plead guilty. And then he figured out a way to avoid taxes perfectly legally. And he creates boutique hotels, and he endlessly tinkers with those hotels, making them bigger and more beautiful and more elaborate. This is clearly something of a hobby for him, but he gets to produce losses through depreciation - often non-cash losses, even though these hotels may be going up in value. But he avoids taxes and hasn't paid taxes for years and years.
DAVIES: So what do we do about this? Campaign finance reform?
EISINGER: Well, we have a system now with enormous wealth inequality. We have hyper-wealth in this country. And as we were discussing, when we introduced the income tax a hundred years ago, that was to address hyper-wealth of a different era. We have the kind of fortunes that we had back then with Rockefellers and Morgans and Carnegie. And back then, we had this incredible, epochal shift where we started to tax incomes. And at that point, the wealthy really did have income. And now we've had huge shifts in our economy so that the wealthy generate money that isn't technically income. And that provides them huge wherewithal to both enjoy their lives and spend without paying taxes and then also dominate our politics and warp our politics in such a way that their power perpetuates itself.
So there needs to be a reevaluation of our politics so that the ultrawealthy do not have such a disproportionate say in how we make our decisions. But as you can see, with the Biden administration's and the Democrats in Congress' efforts to tax the wealthy, those failed. The Biden administration and Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren and many others in Congress wanted to tax the wealthy. They wanted to tax wealth gains, or they wanted to introduce higher rates for taxes, which wouldn't be very effective but would be something. And all of those got defeated.
DAVIES: You know, these glaring contrasts of wealth kind of offends our sense of fairness. I'm wondering how it also concretely impacts the rest of Americans - working Americans and poor Americans - the fact that all of this tax obligation just gets avoided.
EISINGER: Yeah, I think it's deeply corrosive. I think Americans are already pretty cynical about how the wealthy can get away with things. And I've thought of my beat almost as elite impunity because we don't hold the ultrawealthy accountable, and we allow them to get away with tax avoidance and even crime disproportionately to average people. But one of the things that we perennially hear about is how constrained our government is, how there isn't enough money to fix our crumbling infrastructure or to provide adequately for retirement.
We're constantly hearing about how Social Security is about to go broke or that we cannot afford to give people reasonable, affordable health care and on and on and on - that we can't keep the air clean and the water clean. And the reason we can't do that is we're not taxing the wealthy and corporations at their fair share. And I think that that offends the basic sense of fairness and is deeply corrosive to the legitimacy of our government and our democracy.
DAVIES: Well, Jesse Eisinger, thanks so much for speaking with us again.
EISINGER: Thank you for having me.
DAVIES: Jesse Eisinger is a senior editor and reporter at ProPublica. You can find the stories he and fellow reporters wrote about how the wealthiest Americans avoid federal taxes on ProPublica's website.

Lawsuit claims LA County Sheriff Villanueva, wife run department like their ‘own personal fiefdom’
LOS ANGELES - A new lawsuit filed against Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva claims he and his wife run the department like "their own personal fiefdom and business."
The lawsuit was filed by Vanessa Chow, a sergeant with the LASD who was also the sheriff’s liaison to the Board of Supervisors.
In the lawsuit, the plaintiff claims unlawful retaliation by Sheriff Villanueva and those in his inner circle.
One of those in his inner circle is his wife, Vivian Villanueva. According to the lawsuit, Chow claims she was repeatedly harmed by retaliation from the sheriff’s wife, Captain Yvonne O'Brien and Lieutenant Carmen Arballo.
The lawsuit alleges that the sheriff and his wife run LASD like their "own personal fiefdom and business by placing individuals whom they consider as allies in key positions within the department," despite the individuals’ lack of qualifications and ethics.
An example of this included in the claim was the appointment of (then Lieutenant) Yvonne O’Brien as acting Captain of Personnel Administration Bureau despite her lack of qualifications, the lawsuit alleged.
The lawsuit also claimed that Vivian Villanueva is an associate of the deputy gang, the Banditos, and has acted as the gang’s protector since Villanueva took the sheriff’s seat.
LASD is accused of having some of its members associated with a secret society of tattooed deputies. A 2019 lawsuit was filed by a group of LASD deputies who claim they were targeted and harassed by members of the Banditos for refusing to join.
Very little information was released on Vivian’s alleged role with the Banditos.
The lawsuit also alleges Villanueva "started a war against the County Board of Supervisors (BOS) for personal reasons" before he took office.
"Villanueva had and has a bizarre chip on his shoulder against the BOS for endorsing the previous incumbent sheriff, James McDonnell, against him in the sheriff’s race," the lawsuit stated.
The lawsuit claims the sheriff refused to attend monthly meetings with the Supervisors, fought with them about the budget and would ‘bash’ the Supervisors in public.
Villanueva has "lied repeatedly to the public" by claiming the Board of Supervisors has a vendetta against him, but at the same time the supervisors have "done nothing to curb Villanueva's corruption, retaliation against whistleblowers, and extreme abuse of power," the suit further states.
Villanueva, who took office in 2018, is up for reelection in November. He faces off against Long Beach Police Chief Robert Luna. | https://www.foxla.com/news/lawsuit-claims-la-county-sheriff-villanueva-wife-run-department-like-their-own-personal-fiefdom | 2022-08-30T21:34:45Z | https://www.foxla.com/news/lawsuit-claims-la-county-sheriff-villanueva-wife-run-department-like-their-own-personal-fiefdom | false | 1 |

Musk cites whistleblower as new reason to exit Twitter deal
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Elon Musk and Twitter lobbed salvos at each other in the latest round of legal filings over the billionaire Tesla CEO’s aborted plan to buy the social media platform. Musk filed more paperwork to terminate his agreement to buy Twitter. This time it’s based on information in a whistleblower complaint filed by Twitter’s former head of security. In a separate SEC filing, Twitter responded to what it called Musk’s latest “purported termination.” The company said saying it’s based solely on statements made by a third party that “are riddled with inconsistencies and inaccuracies and lack important context.”

Job vacancies rose in July, dashing Fed hopes for cooling
WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of open jobs in the United States rose in July after three months of declines, a sign that employers are still urgently seeking workers despite slowing economic growth and high inflation. The increase will be a disappointment for Federal Reserve officials, who are seeking to cool hiring by raising short-term interest rates to try to slow borrowing and spending, which tend to fuel inflation. There were 11.2 million open jobs available on the last day of July — nearly two jobs, on average, for every unemployed person — up from 11 million in June. June’s figure was also revised sharply higher.

Germany upbeat on energy security; Baltics count on wind
BERLIN (AP) — Chancellor Olaf Scholz says Germany is well-prepared to tackle a possible energy shortage due to Russia’s squeeze on European gas supplies. Fears are growing about the rising energy prices that will hit consumers across the continent this winter. Scholz says gas storage facilities are already fuller than they were at this time last year. Germany expected to pass more measures soon to help consumers cope with steeply rising energy prices. Russia’s state-controlled energy giant Gazprom further reduced gas deliveries to the France on Tuesday, raising fears that Moscow might cut off gas completely as political leverage over the war in Ukraine. Baltic Sea nations announced a seven-fold increase in wind power production by 2030.

Stocks post another loss as markets worry about higher rates
NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks fell again on Wall Street, posting their third loss in a row as traders worry that high interest rates are here to stay for a while. The S&P 500 fell 1.1% Tuesday, bringing its loss in the past three days to 5.1%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq also fell. Energy companies fell along with sliding crude oil prices. Technology stocks and industrial companies were also weak. Best Buy was a bright spot, gaining ground after reporting results for its latest quarter that were much better than analysts were expecting. The yield on the 10-year Treasury held steady.

US consumers more confident in August as gas prices dip
WASHINGTON (AP) — Following three straight monthly declines, U.S. consumer confidence rebounded in August as inflation moderated and gas prices fell. The Conference Board said Tuesday that its consumer confidence index rose in August to 103.2 from 95.3 in July. The business research group’s present situation index — which measures consumers’ assessment of current business and labor market conditions — rose for the first time since March, to 145.4 from 139.7 in July. Analysts surveyed by data provider FactSet had expected consumer confidence to rise slightly as gas prices have fallen in recent weeks.

US asks farmers: Can you plant 2 crops instead of 1?
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — There is a limited amount of farmland, so when Russia’s invasion of Ukraine last spring prompted worries that people would go hungry as wheat remained stuck in blockaded ports, there was little U.S. farmers could do to meet the new demand. But that may be changing. Earlier this summer, the U.S. Department of Agriculture instituted new policies to encourage American farmers to begin growing two crops on one piece of land, one after the other. By changing insurance rules to lessen the risk of growing two crops, the USDA hopes to increase U.S. wheat production. As fall approaches, it’s unclear how many farmers will try the new system, but some who already grow two crops say it’s something farmers should consider.

Best Buy Q2 results fall amid softening demand for gadgets
NEW YORK (AP) — Best Buy posted declines in fiscal second-quarter profits and sales as the nation’s largest consumer electronics chain struggled with weakening consumer demand for gadgets and high costs that rippled through its supply chain. But the results, announced on Tuesday, were above analysts’ expectations, helping boost the stock. Best Buy reported that net income fell 60% to $306 million, or $1.35 per share, for the three-month period ended July 30. That compares with $734 million, or $2.90 per share, last year. Revenue dropped 13% to $10.33 billion. Analysts were expecting $1.27 per share on sales of $10.27 billion, according to FactSet. Comparable sales dropped 12.1% compared to 19.6% increase in the year-ago period.

Sri Lanka’s president says IMF talks nearing successful end
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — Sri Lanka’s president says his bankrupt country’s talks with the International Monetary Fund for a rescue package have successfully reached final stages as he presented an amended budget that seeks to tame inflation and hike taxes. President Ranil Wickremesinghe, who is also the finance minister, said in a speech in Parliament that his government will soon start negotiating debt restructuring with countries that provide loans to Sri Lanka. Declaring that Sri Lanka is on the correct course in the short term for recovery, Wickremesinghe warned the country must prepare for at least 25 years of a national economic policy, staring with the 2023 budget. An IMF team is visiting Sri Lanka and is expected to end the current round of talks on Wednesday.

GALICE, Ore. (AP) — The Rum Creek Fire in remote southwest Oregon has burned nearly 18.75 square miles (49 square kilometers), is threatening thousands of homes and is only about 1% contained.
As of Tuesday morning, the Northwest Interagency Coordination Center said 5,035 homes and more than 2,600 other structures were at risk, Oregon Public Broadcasting reported. Officials have said the fire has destroyed one home and two structures.
High temperatures and shifting winds in the next several days are expected to increase fire danger and cause the blaze to become more active, officials said.
Mandatory evacuations are in place for dozens of homes near the towns of Rand and Galice. Lower level evacuations are in effect for some surrounding areas.
Heavy smoke kept temperatures down and helped increase humidity levels, so fire activity slowed on Monday, the update said. The smoke also curtailed air operations and the fire grew by nearly 3.1 square miles (8 square kilometers).
More than 1,300 firefighters are working the blaze with additional personnel arriving. Crews from California are working with the Oregon State Fire Marshall on structure protection, including areas east of the fire, where it is most active, officials said.
An air quality advisory has been issued for the area with the worst rating possible — hazardous — in Grants Pass, according to the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality.
Josephine County and fire officials will hold a community meeting at 6 p.m. Tuesday at North Valley High School in Grants Pass. It will be broadcast it on Facebook Live. | https://www.theheraldreview.com/news/article/Fire-threatening-over-7-000-structures-in-17408172.php | 2022-08-30T21:40:00Z | https://www.theheraldreview.com/news/article/Fire-threatening-over-7-000-structures-in-17408172.php | false | 11 |
Electric battery maker to locate factory in northern WVa
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — The energy startup SPARKZ said Tuesday it will locate an electric battery factory in northern West Virginia.
The batteries will be built at a 482,000-square-foot (4.5-hectare) plant in Taylor County off U.S. Route 50 near Bridgeport, the company said in a statement. The plant, which eventually will employ 350 workers, originally was a glass factory that ceased operations in 2009.
The plant will produce cobalt-free batteries, an effort to bring down the cost of U.S. lithium-ion battery production. The Democratic Republic of Congo has historically been the top producer of cobalt worldwide, with most mines controlled by Chinese companies.
In March the Livermore, California-based company announced intentions to build the plant. An agreement with the United Mine Workers union was announced in May to recruit and train dislocated miners to be the factory’s first production workers. West Virginia has lost thousands of jobs in mining and other resource extraction industries in recent years.
The company, which was founded in 2019, has said its first markets will likely be in material-handling vehicles such as forklifts, agricultural equipment and energy storage. It added that batteries for the automotive market, which require a process of certification, will be in the near future of the plant.
A recruitment drive has started for the first group of employees, who then will prepare for additional worker training and manufacturing as production begins, the statement said.
“SPARKZ is excited to bring its patriotic power company to West Virginia and begin hiring coalfield families starting today. This is the perfect location to begin re-engineering the battery supply chain to end China’s dominance in energy storage,” founder and CEO Sanjiv Malhotra said in the statement.
Earlier this year, U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm announced $3.1 billion in funding to U.S. companies that make and recycle lithium-ion batteries.
“Engaging our strong and capable workforce here in West Virginia to manufacture batteries domestically is a critical to our energy independence and stability,” U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia said. “The Sparkz facility will create 350 good-paying, long-term jobs, and I look forward to seeing this initiative grow. We will continue to work closely together to bring battery manufacturing here to the United States so we don’t have to rely on foreign supply chains for our energy needs.”

Russian media: Ex-Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev dead at 91
MOSCOW (AP) — Mikhail Gorbachev, who as the last leader of the Soviet Union waged a losing battle to salvage a crumbling empire but produced extraordinary reforms that led to the end of the Cold War, has died at 91, Russian media reported Tuesday.
News organizations quoted a statement from the Central Clinical Hospital as saying he died after a long illness. No other details were given.
Though in power less than seven years, Gorbachev unleashed a breathtaking series of changes. But they quickly overtook him and resulted in the collapse of the authoritarian Soviet state, the freeing of Eastern European nations from Russian domination and the end of decades of East-West nuclear confrontation.
His decline was humiliating. His power hopelessly sapped by an attempted coup against him in August 1991, he spent his last months in office watching republic after republic declare independence until he resigned on Dec. 25, 1991. The Soviet Union wrote itself into oblivion a day later.
A quarter-century after the collapse, Gorbachev told The Associated Press that he had not considered using widespread force to try to keep the USSR together because he feared chaos in a nuclear country.
“The country was loaded to the brim with weapons. And it would have immediately pushed the country into a civil war,” he said.
Many of the changes, including the Soviet breakup, bore no resemblance to the transformation that Gorbachev had envisioned when he became the Soviet leader in March 1985.
By the end of his rule he was powerless to halt the whirlwind he had sown. Yet Gorbachev may have had a greater impact on the second half of the 20th century than any other political figure.
“I see myself as a man who started the reforms that were necessary for the country and for Europe and the world,” Gorbachev told The AP in a 1992 interview shortly after he left office.
“I am often asked, would I have started it all again if I had to repeat it? Yes, indeed. And with more persistence and determination,” he said.
Gorbachev won the 1990 Nobel Peace Prize for his role in ending the Cold War and spent his later years collecting accolades and awards from all corners of the world. Yet he was widely despised at home.
Russians blamed him for the 1991 implosion of the Soviet Union — a once-fearsome superpower whose territory fractured into 15 separate nations. His former allies deserted him and made him a scapegoat for the country’s troubles.
The official news agency Tass reported that Gorbachev will be buried at Moscow’s Novodevichy cemetery next to his wife.

San Francisco released Turay on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Turay racked up a respectable nine tackles and 5.5 sacks in 13 games with the Colts, but he couldn't secure a situational depth role on the 49ers' initial 53-man roster. The 27-year-old defensive end seems like a fair candidate to draw interest elsewhere in the league, if not to rejoin San Francisco at a later date. | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/kemoko-turay-let-go-by-49ers/ | 2022-08-30T21:42:18Z | https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/kemoko-turay-let-go-by-49ers/ | true | null |

Of all the costumed characters you could see at SiliCon with Adam Savage last weekend, one truly stood out as a real hero. That would be Batman of San Jose, the college student who has dressed up as the Dark Knight and brought a bit of light to the homeless in Silicon Valley.
For the past four years, he would drag a cart to encampments near the Guadalupe River and to St. James Park, handing out food, water and other necessities to the unhoused population. Doing it dressed as Batman was a natural choice, he told the audience at SiliCon.
“For me, Batman is a character born out of trauma but also a character whose goals are to protect people and to help other people,” he said. “I really connected with the fact that Batman is somebody who does the right thing and does it for the good of other people in his community.”
Now, he’s taken his mission of compassion to Rochester, N.Y., where he is attending the Rochester Institute of Technology. The homeless population there is much smaller than in San Jose, he told an audience at SiliCon, but the winter weather conditions are much harsher. He has an Instagram account (www.instagram.com/batman_of_san_jose) with links to community organizations in San Jose that help the homeless. He returned to San Jose this summer before heading back for his second year of school.
As a maker and a cosplayer, who built some of his original costume at the old TechShop in San Jose, he fit right in with the SiliCon crowd. He was a little starstruck when he was introduced at a VIP reception to SiliCon Creative Director Adam Savage, who was impressed with both his suit and his work.
“I’m just a dude in a costume up here trying to make a difference,” said Batman, prefers to do his work anonymously, in part because he says his identity is less important than the good he does. “You don’t have to be anybody special to make a difference for people. All you have to do is get up and say enough is enough and get up and do something.”
Jonathan Knowles, a Los Gatos technologist who met Batman of San Jose in his pre-Batman days, says he proves that “the most powerful superpower is mindset.”
“I think it’s wonderful that a young person looks around and has that sense of compassion and empathy and then takes that next step to actually do something about it,” said Knowles, who interviewed Batman on stage.
And Batman knows he can make a difference. He told the audience about a mother and her 3-year-old son he first met when they were living under a Highway 87 overpass, where the loud traffic rushing by every day created a clearly unhealthy situation.
“As time went by, they’ve been in and out of housing, and this little kid, he knows what’s happening to him. He told his mom, ‘I don’t want to sleep under the bridge again.’ No kid should have to say that,” Batman said, choking up. But thanks to his efforts and many other people, that family may have more hope than before. A couple of months ago, he got to see the boy graduate from kindergarten.
“That little kid isn’t sleeping under a bridge anymore,” he said, “and I’m working to make sure that no little kid has to sleep under any bridges.”
MORE HEROES TO SALUTE: More than 400 people showed up at the SAP Center in downtown San Jose last Friday night for the San Jose Police Department’s Major Awards Ceremony. The annual event, which is produced by the nonprofit San Jose Police Foundation, honored dozens of law enforcement officers and everyday citizens whose actions saved lives or solved crimes.
“Law enforcement is not a profession that seeks awards or recognition,” San Jose Police Chief Anthony Mata said. But the audience gladly applauded the stories of officers like Medal of Valor recipient Pedro Garcia, who pulled a man from a burning car on Highway 101 last September, and the team that responded to the horrific mass shooting at VTA in May 2021.
San Jose Police Foundation Board President Scott Seaman also took the opportunity to bid farewell to the nonprofit’s outgoing executive director, Kate Levin, and welcome Ted Trujillo as her successor. Trujillo was with SJPD for 30 years before he retired in 2019 and served on the security detail for mayors Ron Gonzales, Chuck Reed and Sam Liccardo.
DECADE OF SUCCESS: Cancer CAREpoint knows it has fans it can count on, with hundreds of them turning up for its Garden Party fundraiser Sunday that celebrated the nonprofit’s 10th anniversary. In this case, the “garden” was a huge tent set up in a parking lot adjacent to Good Samaritan hospital in San Jose, but none of the revelers seemed to mind.
After listening to speakers Amy Burkman and Caroline Lee share their stories, the crowd raised more than $1 million through sponsorships and auction bidding to support Cancer CAREpoint’s services for cancer patients, family members and caregivers. Hats off to event chairs Sandi Frazer and Erin Baxter, as well as Cancer CAREpoint Executive Director Dawn Hogh and board chair Jen Landes, for getting the group’s next decade off to a good start.

Service industry workers are still quitting at high rates despite recession fears
Service industry workers are still quitting.
Nearly 6% of workers in the US leisure and hospitality industry quit their jobs in August, outpacing the 2.7% rate—which measures the share of employed Americans quitting their jobs—for the rest of the US economy, according to US Bureau of Labor Statistics data. Leisure and hospitality workers, which includes restaurant and hotel workers, are still quitting at higher rates than they were before the pandemic. Overall, the quit rate for all non-farm jobs fell slightly from the month before.
The findings suggest that workers are leaving and finding better jobs, as the high quit-rate can be read as a measure of workers’ confidence in their ability to land jobs elsewhere.
Workers in this sector continue to have choices
The demand for workers, particularly, for in-person jobs, gives them an opportunity to negotiate higher wages or more flexible scheduling, said AnnElizabeth Konkel, a senior economist at Indeed, a jobs site.
The restaurant industry has long had high quit rates, but they became worse during the pandemic. Employers have raised wages and doled out bonuses to attract people to fill the roles.
Though concerns of a recession are growing, that’s just one factor workers are weighing. As Konkel noted, if you hear of a family member taking a new job, and your friend is finding a new job, too, you’re going to be more comfortable with the risk of switching jobs, especially if there’s a positive outcome of better wages or more benefits. “Workers are going to take that into account even if there is this recession chatter, and finally balance those two in their mind and then make their decision from there,” she said.
Workers are also expecting higher wages. For instance, Konkel said that workers have been searching on Indeed more for $20-an-hour jobs than jobs that pay $15 an hour. That’s borne out of both curiosity about the opportunities available, but also the factor of inflation driving workers to find higher-paying jobs to offset rising household costs.
The ongoing lack of workers continues to show up, as businesses temporarily shut down stores or limit store hours. As the holiday season approaches, Konkel said that consumer spending could affect hiring plans for service workers. | https://news.yahoo.com/industry-workers-still-quitting-high-210100317.html | 2022-08-30T21:45:31Z | https://news.yahoo.com/industry-workers-still-quitting-high-210100317.html | false | 2 |
Several Riverview residents reported vandalism to their vehicles, all at around the same time and in the same neighborhood.
The first malicious destruction of property incident was reported to police at 7:18 a.m. Aug. 26 and occurred in the 19000 block of Wedgewood Road.
The victim said he parked his 2012 Dodge Charger in his driveway at around 7:30 p.m. the previous evening. The next morning, he discovered what appeared to be a small hole and cracks in the glass of the driver’s-side window, similar to damage caused by a BB or pellet gun.
The officer looked at the damaged window and agreed it most likely was caused by a pellet or BB gun. Damage to the window is estimated at $200.
About an hour later, an officer was sent to the 19000 block of Wedgewood to take a similar complaint.
The owner of a 2020 Ford Ranger said he went out to his truck that morning and discovered damage to the driver’s window, and the driver’s-side rear window was completely broken out.
A next-door neighbor, who did not report any vandalism to his vehicle, came outside to tell the officer about his Ring doorbell camera, but said no footage was available showing who broke the windows.
At around 9:30 a.m., while investigating the vandalism incidents in the neighborhood, an officer observed damage to a vehicle parked in the 19000 block of Brandywine. A 2021 Ford F-150 parked in a driveway had damage to the driver’s window that was similar to the damage seen in the other vehicles.
In this incident, the resident reported that the center tray from the console was missing, along with about $20 that was in the console. The victim has security cameras, but police said they didn’t pick up any movement.
At 4:30 p.m. Aug. 27, officers returned to the 19000 block of Wedgewood for one additional malicious destruction of property report. The victim said he parked his Jeep in the driveway on the evening of Aug. 25 and discovered damage to the vehicle at about 1 p.m. Aug. 26.
The type of damage was not detailed in the police report, but the officer indicated it was similar to the damage sustained by several other vehicles vandalized on the street.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana abortion clinic operators filed a lawsuit Tuesday seeking to block the state's near-total ban on abortions before it takes effect in about two weeks. .
The lawsuit filed in a Monroe County court claims the ban “strips away the fundamental rights of people seeking abortion care” in violation of the Indiana Constitution. It asks for a judge to block the law from going into effect on Sept. 15, arguing the ban “will infringe on Hoosiers’ right to privacy, violate Indiana’s guarantee of equal privileges and immunities, and includes unconstitutionally vague language.”
Indiana's Republican-dominated Legislature approved the tighter abortion restrictions during a two-week special legislative session that ended Aug. 5, making it the first state to do so since the U.S. Supreme Court eliminated federal abortion protections for abortions by overturning Roe v. Wade in June.
The Indiana law includes exceptions, allowing abortions in cases of rape and incest, before 10 weeks post-fertilization; to protect the life and physical health of the mother; and if a fetus is diagnosed with a lethal anomaly.
The legal question of whether the Indiana Constitution protects abortion rights is unclear, said Ken Falk, legal director for the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana, which filed the lawsuit.
Falk pointed to a 2004 state appeals court decision that said privacy was a core value under the state constitution that extended to all residents, including women seeking an abortion. But the Indiana Supreme Court later upheld a law mandating an 18-hour waiting period before a woman could undergo an abortion while not deciding whether the state constitution included a right to privacy or abortion.
The leader of Indiana’s most prominent anti-abortion group argued the state constitution protects life as among the “inalienable rights.”
“We are confident the state will prevail and pray the new law is not blocked from going into effect on September 15, knowing that any delay will mean the indiscriminate killing of unborn children will continue at abortion clinics across Indiana,” Indiana Right to Life CEO Mike Fichter said in a statement.
Jennifer Drobac, an Indiana University law professor, said she believed the argument that the state constitution prohibits lawmakers from stripping legal privileges from some residents that are available to others is a strong argument against the abortion ban.
“When you look at people who become pregnant, their medical care is being regulated in a way that the medical care of people who do not become pregnant is not being regulated,” she said. “Men, for example, can access the full panoply of available medical resources in a health situation.”
Under new Indiana law, abortions could be performed only in hospitals or outpatient centers owned by hospitals, meaning all abortion clinics would lose their licenses. Any doctors found to have performed an illegal abortion would be stripped of their state medical licenses and could face felony criminal charges punishable by up to six years in prison.
Indiana's ban followed the political firestorm over a 10-year-old rape victim who traveled to the state from neighboring Ohio to end her pregnancy. The case gained wide attention when an Indianapolis doctor said the child came to Indiana because of Ohio's "fetal heartbeat" ban.
The lawsuit was filed on behalf of abortion-rights supporters including Planned Parenthood, which operates four of Indiana’s seven licensed abortion clinics, along with groups that operate two of the other clinics and a doctor who performs abortions.
It will be heard by a judge in southern Indiana’s Monroe County, which includes the liberal-leaning city of Bloomington and Indiana University’s main campus. All nine of the county’s nine judges are Democrats, while all other counties with abortion clinics have judges who’ve either been elected as Republicans or been appointed by Republican governors.
The ACLU’s Falk said the suit was filed in Monroe County because an abortion clinic is located there but did not respond to a question about whether the group was seeking a friendly judge.
Drobac said she believed filing in the complaint in Bloomington could be where the ban opponents “have the greatest opportunity for success.”
Republican legislative leaders said they believed the abortion restrictions would be upheld by the courts.
“We set out to pass a bill in the special session that would protect life and support mothers and babies, and that’s what we did,” Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray said in a statement. “It was always our intent to draft a bill that could withstand a constitutional challenge, and I hope to see that will be the case.”

NOWSHERA (Pakistan) • •Makeshift camps have sprung up all over Pakistan - in schools, along motorways and on military bases - to give shelter to millions of displaced flood victims.
But the relief at finding safety can turn into desperation for many.
In the north-western town of Nowshera, a technical college was turned into a shelter for up to 2,500 flood victims, who sweltered in the summer heat with sporadic food aid and little access to water for bathing.
"We have been eating only rice for the past three days," said Mr Malang Jan, 60.
"I never thought that one day we would have to live like this. We have lost our heaven and are now forced to live a miserable life."
Mr Jan's family were rescued by boat when his home was submerged in the floods that have swamped a third of the country, killing more than 1,100 people and affecting tens of millions more.
The college gardens are lined with tents - the classrooms are filled with the families who arrived first and grabbed the chance for privacy. Others rest shoulder to shoulder in corridors with their meagre bundles of belongings.
Goats and chickens salvaged from the rising water graze in the campus courtyard.
The camp of 2,500 is managed by various charities, political parties and administrative officials overwhelmed by the scale of the disaster. Volunteers hand out tents, mattresses, water, dal and naan.
"It's a situation of panic," said Mr Mushfiq Rehman, a district court official who stepped in to oversee food delivery for the local administration.
"There is enough food, but people are getting desperate because they don't trust if they will get a meal again or not."
It is particularly difficult for women in this deeply conservative region of the country, where the all-covering burqa is commonly worn, and women rarely mix with men who are not relatives.
"We are Pashtun people; we don't come out of our homes often, but now we are forced to come out," said Ms Yasmin Shah, 56, who is sheltered in a classroom with her family.
Young women with burqas pulled up over their heads watch from upper floors. Older women take their place in queues to ensure they get a share of food handouts.
The heat is worsened when the few working fans stop working because of power cuts. There are no showers and only a few toilets are available for the displaced.
"Our self-respect is at stake... I stink but there is no place to take a shower," said Ms Fazal e Malik, who is staying with seven family members in a tent.
"Our women are facing problems and they feel humiliated."

The US Open is always a big deal for tennis fans as the final Grand Slam tournament of the year, but this year, it’s extra special, as it is superstar Serena Williams’ final tournament before she retires at the age of 40. On Monday, she played her first match of the tournament against Danka Kovinić with a surfeit of celebrity supporters such as Anthony Anderson, Mike Tyson, Queen Latifah, and Spike Lee in attendance. One who was not, though, is Beyoncé… but that didn’t stop some commentators on television and Twitter from believing she was.
As it turned out, the reason for the confusion was actress Laverne Cox, who multiple broadcasts confused for the Renaissance singer. To be fair, Cox was — who actually previously worked with Beyoncé — wearing a mask and has been known to wear similarly-colored tresses to Queen Bey. That didn’t stop those who could tell the difference from correcting those who couldn’t in the most hilarious ways.

Not people mistaking Laverne Cox for Beyoncé at the tennis match. 😭
— Tanisha Thomas (@tanishajanae) August 30, 2022
Although Beyoncé wasn’t in attendance in person, she was in spirit, as the US Open broadcast of the match opened with a tribute video to Serena featuring Beyoncé’s song “I Was Here.” Beyoncé also recently narrated a Gatorade ad detailing Williams’ accomplishments on and off the court. The singer previously contributed the song “Be Alive” to the biopic about Williams’ father, King Richard, performing the song from the Compton tennis courts where Williams got her start to open the 2022 Oscars.
Cox, meanwhile, enjoyed the attention, posting a compilation of the mistaken identity tweets on Instagram with the caption “not me getting mistaken for @Beyonce at the #USOpen tonight then trending on Twitter as the internet cackles over the mistaken identity. These tweets are funny as hell. Enjoy!!!”
Serena Williams plays her second match tomorrow (August 31) at 7 pm ET / 4 pm PT against Anett Kontaveit. | https://uproxx.com/music/laverne-cox-beyonce-serena-williams-us-open/ | 2022-08-30T21:54:48Z | https://uproxx.com/music/laverne-cox-beyonce-serena-williams-us-open/ | true | 1 |

Godrej Appliances targets Rs 5,500 crore turnover driven by premium segment
Festive sales usually comprise around 28 – 30% of the annual sales for the company. This year in Q2 FY 22-23 during Onam festivities, Nandi says, they are targeting over 30% growth over last year.

NEW DELHI: Consumer durables major Godrej Appliances is targeting a turnover of Rs 5,500 crore in 2022-23, a 35% growth as compared to the pre-pandemic year 2019-20. Kamal Nandi, business head and executive vice-president at Godrej Appliances, part of Godrej & Boyce, in interaction with TNIE said that the company has witnessed 52% growth in volume and nearly 70% growth in value in comparison to the same period last year.
“We estimate the second half of the year to be better than the first half as we are projecting inflation to be controlled and commodities to soften. We anticipate that the mass segment consumers who are postponing purchases now will come forward during the festive season and expect improvement in discretionary spending,” Nandi said. Inflation has affected consumer sentiment in the mass segments even as premium segments are buoyant, according to Nandi.
The premium mix in the total contribution is expected to double this year, compared to pre-pandemic years, he notes. “The premium growth is being seen across town classes. Catering to this demand from tier 3 and 4 cities, we have opened more than 135 exclusive brand stores – the Godrej Inspire Hubs, which have been seeing close to a third of their sales coming from premium segments.”
Festive sales usually comprise around 28 – 30% of the annual sales for the company. This year in Q2 FY 22-23 during Onam festivities, Nandi says, they are targeting over 30% growth over last year as well as pre-pandemic growth. He, however, adds the festive target setting for larger countries will depend on how the monsoons fare overall and the consumer sentiment over the next month or so. | https://www.newindianexpress.com/business/2022/aug/30/godrej-appliances-targets-rs-5500-cr-turnover-driven-by-premium-segment-2492957.html | 2022-08-30T22:06:19Z | https://www.newindianexpress.com/business/2022/aug/30/godrej-appliances-targets-rs-5500-cr-turnover-driven-by-premium-segment-2492957.html | true | 1 |
(NEXSTAR) – Mikhail Gorbachev, former Soviet president and the man known for ending the Cold War, has died at the age of 91, Reuters reports.
News organizations quoted a statement from the Central Clinical Hospital as saying he died after a long illness. No other details were given.
Gorbachev served as the last president of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s after serving as the last general secretary of the party from 1985 to 1991.
Though in power less than seven years, Gorbachev unleashed a breathtaking series of changes. But they quickly overtook him and resulted in the collapse of the authoritarian Soviet state, the freeing of Eastern European nations from Russian domination and the end of decades of East-West nuclear confrontation.
His decline was humiliating. His power was hopelessly sapped by an attempted coup against him in August 1991, he spent his last months in office watching republic after republic declare independence until he resigned on Dec. 25, 1991. The Soviet Union wrote itself into oblivion a day later.
Gorbachev won a Nobel Peace Prize in 1990 for his work to bring the Cold War to a peaceful end. He is also credited for starting the fall of communism in Europe after he declared he would not support Communist regimes in other countries if their peoples didn’t support them, his Nobel Prize biography reads.
In the early 2000s, Gorbachev won a Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Album for Children alongside former President Bill Clinton and Italian actress Sophia Loren. In 2007, Gorbachev appeared in an advertisement for Louis Vuitton. He was photographed in a car with a Vuitton bag at his side as he rides past the Berlin Wall.
Gorbachev was born in 1931 in Privolnoye, Russia.
The official news agency Tass reported that Gorbachev will be buried at Moscow’s Novodevichy cemetery next to his wife.

Ranking the 10 Biggest Dolphins Roster Moves
But which moves were the most noteworthy?
While the move right at the top should be obvious, there were other significant developments, both among those who were cut and those who made the roster.
Here then is our Top 10 of biggest roster decisions:
1. Byron Jones Goes on Reserve/PUP
This one was both stunning and potentially damaging, given Jones' importance to the defense. The move was a stunner because head coach Mike McDaniel has expressed optimism in his media sessions all. along that Jones actually might be ready for Week 1 of the regular season. Now, he won't be able to play until at least Week 5.
2. Skylar Thompson Makes the Team
This isn't the first time the Dolphins have kept a third quarterback on the initial 53-man roster (they actually kept four in 2018), but this one was different because it pretty much looked like a case of a young player giving the team no choice but to keep him. And because he plays quarterback, that always magnifies any move involved.
Read More
3. Michel Doesn't Make the Cut
In terms of name recognition, this was the biggest one for the Dolphins this year. Michel not only was a former first-round pick, he also won Super Bowls with both the Patriots and the Rams. The idea he wouldn't make the team seemed silly when he signed, but it certainly wasn't anymore at the conclusion of the preseason.
4. Williams and Bowden Let Go
There's always been this fascination among Dolphins fans regarding both players, with Williams because of what he did as a rookie free agent in the first half of the 2019 season and with Bowden because he was a third-round pick and he flashed good open-field skills as a rookie in 2020. But the reality is that neither player making the roster was not a surprise in the final analysis.
5. Conner Makes It Five Tight Ends
We're heard for a while the Dolphins were really high on this converted wide receiver from Idaho State the team signed as a rookie free agent, and the proof came when they kept him on the 53 when they easily could have put him on injured reserve considering he's been nursing a knee injury bad enough to require a brace, though that would have sidelined him for the entire season.
6. The Kindley Cut
This was significant because Kindley was a fourth-round pick just two years ago and he started 13 games as a rookie. While he became somewhat of an afterthought last year, it looked like he performed well enough this summer to have earned a roster spot.
7. Kohou Makes It At Cornerback
Conner wasn't the only rookie free agent to make the 53-man roster, but Kohou earned a spot might have been even more impressive considering he played at Division II Texas A&M-Commerce. Kohou certainly never looked during training camp like he didn't belong, but it still was noteworthy that he made the team.
8. Keeping Five Running Backs
We'd probably suggest that few would have expected Myles Gaskin and Salvon Ahmed to end up on the 53-man roster after the offseason acquisitions of Raheem Mostert, Chase Edmonds and Michel, but that's exactly how it played out after the Dolphins decided to go with four halfbacks plus fullback Alec Ingold.
9. Keeping Five Wide Receivers
While we weren't sure the Dolphins would keep five running backs because that's a high number, the opposite was true for the wide receivers because five is usually the minimum and the Dolphins had plenty of viable options beyond the top group of Hill, Waddle, Wilson, Sherfield and Ezukanma.
10. Goode-Bye
The Dolphins had only four picks in the 2022 NFL draft, but they clearly did a good job of selecting because they clearly got something with Skylar Thompson. And we'd make the argument the other seventh-round pick, Cameron Goode, should have made the team as well and it actually was noteworthy that he didn't based on his summer performance. | https://www.si.com/nfl/dolphins/news/miami-dolphins-10-biggest-roster-moves | 2022-08-30T22:08:19Z | https://www.si.com/nfl/dolphins/news/miami-dolphins-10-biggest-roster-moves | true | 2 |
HP plummets as PC maker misses Q3 estimates, lowers full-year earnings outlook
HP (NYSE:HPQ) shares fell nearly 5% in extended-hours trading after the tech company posted third-quarter results that missed expectations and lowered its full-year earnings outlook, citing continued weakness in PC sales.
Looking to the full-year, HP (HPQ) said it now sees adjusted earnings per share between $4.02 and $4.12, below the previous range of $4.24 and $4.38 per share. Analysts were expecting earnings of $4.30 per share.
The company also significantly lowered its free cash flow forecast, as it now expects it to be within a range of $3.2B and $3.7B, well below the prior view of at least $4.5B.
“We are taking clear actions to mitigate near-term market headwinds and further strengthen our business for the future," Enrique Lores, HP President and CEO, in a statement. "I’m confident in our ability to execute against our priorities to drive long-term sustainable growth and value creation.”
For the period ending July 31, HP (HPQ) earned $1.04 per share, excluding one-time items, on $14.7B in net revenue. Included in that was $10.1B from Personal Systems, well below the estimate of $11.06B in revenue. Free cash flow during the period was $300M, well below the $1.32B analysts were forecasting.
A consensus of analysts expected HP (HPQ) to earn $1.03 per share on $15.63B in revenue during the quarter.
Looking to the fourth-quarter, HP (HPQ) expects earnings, excluding one-time items, to be between 79 cents and 89 cents per share.
HP (HPQ) is holding a conference call at 5:30 p.m. EST to discuss the results.
Earlier this month, Wells Fargo downgraded HP (HPQ), citing an "increasing scenario" where its shares underperform on a relative basis for the rest of this year and into 2023, due to weakening PC demand. | https://seekingalpha.com/news/3877896-hp-risesfalls-as-pc-maker-topsmisses-q3-estimates | 2022-08-30T22:08:19Z | https://seekingalpha.com/news/3877896-hp-risesfalls-as-pc-maker-topsmisses-q3-estimates | false | 1 |

Kanam Rajendran gets upper hand in CPI Ernakulam committee
The official faction of CPI got an upper hand in the Ernakulam district committee after the four-day district conference concluded on Monday.

KOCHI: The official faction of CPI got an upper hand in the Ernakulam district committee after the four-day district conference concluded on Monday. K M Dinakaran, who is identified as a close aide of party secretary Kanam Rajendran, was elected district secretary replacing former MLA P Raju who held the post for a consecutive three terms. The Kanam faction got the majority in the 52-member district council also.
Dinakaran garnered 28 votes while his opponent K N Sugathan got only 23 votes after an election was held for the district secretary post as consensus could not be reached at the meeting.
Kanam faced severe criticism at the conference for his stand supporting Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and CPM on several issues. The party criticised the CM in its working report which was presented at the conference on Saturday. The report said the functioning of the government was not satisfactory.
The conference also witnessed election of delegates for the state conference. Owing to differences of opinion among delegates, the election supervised by former minister K Chandrasekharan was delayed till night. | https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/kochi/2022/aug/30/kanam-rajendrangets-upper-hand-in-cpi-ernakulam-committee-2492874.html | 2022-08-30T22:13:25Z | https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/kochi/2022/aug/30/kanam-rajendrangets-upper-hand-in-cpi-ernakulam-committee-2492874.html | false | 1 |
Tewksbury neighborhood evacuated following ammonia leak at ice arena
TEWKSBURY – People in the area of a Tewksbury ice arena were asked to evacuate Tuesday afternoon following an ammonia leak.
Ambulances and firefighters responded to the Breakaway Ice Center on Carter Street.
Following the leak, Tewksbury Police said anyone nearby or downwind from the facility should evacuate.
Police said fifty people inside the rink were evacuated and one worker, who tried to turn off the emergency valve, was taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
A hazmat team responded to the scene.
"We originally got the call around 2:30 I believe, not sure the exact time but it was right around 2:30, for a report of some type of explosion. What that was, what we believe it was --was the pressure relief valve release on an ammonia storage tank. When that released, there was now a release of ammonia, with the wind blowing to the north, we made the decision to start evacuating the neighborhoods up to the north end," said Joe Karns of the Tewksbury Fire Department.
Crews are asking everyone to stay away from the area.

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/2721965637330/f1-qualifying-results-starting-grid-for-2022-belgian-grand-prix-at-spa-as-carlos-sainz-takes-pole-but-max-verstappen-sets-standard | 2022-08-30T22:18:04Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2721965637330/f1-qualifying-results-starting-grid-for-2022-belgian-grand-prix-at-spa-as-carlos-sainz-takes-pole-but-max-verstappen-sets-standard | false | 12721 |

If you’ve been less than impressed by your complexion lately, then it may be time to invest in a brightening serum to add some life back to your dull skin while lessening the appearance of hyperpigmentation, acne scarring, and dark circles in the process. And the Radiant Rani Brightening Saffron Serum from Ranavat at Sephora is being called “liquid gold” by those who’ve tried it.
The Radiant Rani Brightening Saffron Serum is a vegan blend of cell-repairing and hyperpigmentation-banishing saffron, soothing and redness-reducing tumeric, and radiance-reviving licorice root. It sinks deep into the skin to restore vibrance, glow, and diminish dark spots and fine lines. In fact, an independent clinical study of 32 subjects found that after 4 weeks 100% of the subjects saw a significant reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.
“In Ayurveda, saffron is considered a ‘miracle elixir’ for its antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties,” the Radiant Rani serum description reads on Sephora’s website. “This serum brightens, visibly firms, and improves complexion for the look of glowing, youthful, and resilient skin.”

And according to those who have tried it, this stuff is a holy grail. One five-star reviewer called it a “must buy” and wrote, “One of the best skincare products I have ever purchased. I’m currently on my fourth bottle and will continue to purchase this. Helps brighten, moisturize, and just overall improve the skin. The number of compliments I have gotten on my bare skin after I started using this has been insane.”
Another reviewer wrote, “This serum is liquid gold in a bottle! It goes on so smoothly and adds the most beautiful glow to the skin! I’ve been using it every day for a month paired with my Kansa wand and my skin looks brighter, more even, more supple … I cannot express what a game-changer this serum has been!”
You can try out the serum for $35 before upgrading to the full-size bottle for $135. Yes, it’s pricey. But the reviews say it’s absolutely worth the splurge — you don’t know how great your skin can look until you put the Radiant Rani Brightening Saffron Serum to the test. | https://www.sheknows.com/living/articles/2617442/ranavat-radiant-rani-brightening-serum/ | 2022-08-30T22:18:49Z | https://www.sheknows.com/living/articles/2617442/ranavat-radiant-rani-brightening-serum/ | true | 2 |
Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, who played a central role in ending the Cold War, has died at the age of 91. Russian media reported his death. His risky decision to liberalize Soviet society, confront its past and engage Western leaders arguably took the world from the brink of nuclear conflict.

‘Whose side are you on?’: Joe Biden brands MAGA Republicans a threat to law and order
Washington: Joe Biden has cast Republicans as a threat to law and order after sections of the party called for the FBI to be defunded following the unprecedented raid of Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.
As he steps up campaigning for November’s midterm elections, the US president also lashed out at Trump’s “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) base for continuing to defend the January 6 attack on the US Capitol. The rampage last year left several people dead, about 150 police officers injured and the nation shocked and divided.
“For God’s sake: whose side are you on? The side of the mob, or the side of the police?” a fired-up Biden said during a speech in the critical swing state of Pennsylvania.
“You can’t be pro-law enforcement and pro-insurrection. You can’t be a party of law and order and call the people who attacked the police on January 6 ‘patriots’.
“Now it’s sickening to see the new attacks on the FBI - threatening the life of law enforcement agents and their families for simply carrying out the law and doing their job. I want to say as clear as I can: there is no place in this country - no place - for endangering the lives of law enforcement.”
The comments represent Biden’s sharpest attack on Republicans since the Mar-a-Lago raid this month, with the White House, until now, not wanting to be seen as playing politics with the Department of Justice investigation into the former US president.
While Republicans have traditionally out polled Democrats when it comes to law and order by painting them as soft on crime, the search of Trump’s property has complicated their message, after sections of the GOP responded to the event by calling for payback against law enforcement.
Far-right congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene was among them, tweeting in the aftermath: “Defund the FBI.” Bruce Fenton, a senate candidate for New Hampshire was even more scathing, declaring that: “We should abolish the FBI and replace it with nothing.”
Some of Trump’s most ardent supporters also took to social media calling for a “civil war” and an “armed rebellion”, while in Ohio, a 42-year-old gunman died in a shootout after trying to get inside the FBI’s the Cincinnati office.
He, too, appeared to have called for agents to be killed and for “be ready for combat” in social media posts following the search on Trump’s home.
Speaking in the small city of Wilkes-Barre, in northeastern Pennsylvania, Biden also used his speech to talk up his own law and order credentials, promising to help police hire and train 100,000 new police officers and committing billions of dollars to clear court backlogs and invest in crime prevention.
He also renewed calls for a full ban on assault weapons in the wake of the mass shootings in Buffalo and Uvalde earlier this year, telling the audience: “We’re living in a country awash with weapons of war… What the hell’s the matter with us?”
Today’s speech marked the first of three visits that the president will make to Pennsylvania within a week, as the campaigning for the midterms heats up. He will return on Thursday for a prime-time speech in Philadelphia that will focus on the threat to democracy and “the continued battle for the soul of the nation.
Trump will also visit the state on Saturday to conduct his first rally since the search of classified documents at his Florida property.
Pennsylvania is critical because it’s regarded as the Democrats’ best chance of flipping a seat in the Senate – the all-important chamber that determines everything from future Supreme Court nominations to Biden’s first term policy agenda.
In what is shaping up to be one of the marquee races of the midterms, progressive Democrat John Fetterman is battling for a spot in the Senate against Republican candidate Mehmet Oz, a celebrity TV doctor endorsed by Trump.
Meanwhile, far-right state senator Doug Mastriano - one of the officials who tried to help Trump overturn the 2020 election results and was at the US capitol on January 6 - is now the Republican candidate to be Pennsylvania governor.

Former Waynesboro standout Forrest Rhyne is among players being let go by the Indianapolis Colts Tuesday, according to multiple reports.
- Former Bishop McDevitt standout Noah Spence released by Bengals
- Here’s where former Mid-Penn stars are playing professional and college football this season
The move comes as teams make their final cuts down to make the 53-player roster limit before the season.
Rhyne was signed by the Colts earlier this year as an undrafted rookie free agent after a standout career at Villanova.
The 6-foot-1, 235-pound linebacker was in on 152 tackles, 8.5 for loss, with 4.5 sacks and a fumble recovery last season with the Wildcats. For his career with the school, he was in on 310 tackles, 22.5 for loss, with 11.5 sacks. | https://www.pennlive.com/highschoolsports/2022/08/former-waynesboro-standout-forrest-rhyne-is-being-released-by-indianapolis-colts-reports.html | 2022-08-30T22:26:56Z | https://www.pennlive.com/highschoolsports/2022/08/former-waynesboro-standout-forrest-rhyne-is-being-released-by-indianapolis-colts-reports.html | true | null |
The City of Langford opened its newest park on Skirt Mountain, dedicating it to a team of aerial firefighters who lost their lives in a water bomber crash 55 years ago.
Flying Firemen Park was opened and dedicated at a ceremony Tuesday morning (Aug. 30) and was attended by the family of pilots Alex Davidson and Robert Moore, who died in the Skirt Mountain crash in July 1967.
Located on dedicated parkland acquired by the city as part of the 40 per cent park and open space requirement included in the Bear Mountain Master Development Agreement, the park features open greenspace, a fenced-in off-leash dog park, benches, and outdoor exercise equipment which was rescued and reused from City Centre Park. In total, 75 acres are being dedicated to the city, with 65 to be dedicated by year’s end.
“The City of Langford recognizes the flying firemen and all first responders for their dedication and commitment to ensure public safety in our community,” said Mayor Stew Young. “This walkable community park is something which can be enjoyed for many years to come … the park will be a place for the families of the flying firemen and other first responders to reflect and commemorate the sacrifices made by their loved ones.”

Davidson’s son Craig, said he and his family were thankful and honoured the city dedicated the park to the plane’s crew.
“They just loved to fly and they flew everything,” said Craig of his father and his colleagues. “Dad was the guy who did all the test flying for the water pick up and delivery systems … these guys were all World War II flying aces, and they flew like it.”
Craig was 16 when the crash happened. He said the plane was responding to a blaze on Skirt Mountain when their Canso water bomber clipped a tree and went down less than a kilometre from the site of the new park.
“It’s very apt they put a park so close to the site,” he said. “I’m thrilled, as is the rest of the family. We are just really grateful to Langford to be naming a park after our father and his efforts. It’s very touching.”
At the time of the crash, Davidson was 43 and Moore was 45.
Craig described his father as an interesting guy who enlisted for the Second World War at age 17 and flew Spitfire fighter planes over Europe, eventually being tasked with training Czech pilots. After the war, he went to university before re-enlisting, this time with the Royal Canadian Navy as a pilot instructor, before starting a career as a test pilot in 1955, which eventually led him to water bombers.

Centre directs Telangana discoms to clear dues of Rs 6,756 crore to AP in 30 days
The Power Ministry issued an order to this effect on Monday, exactly a week after Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy had met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and sought his intervention in the matter.

VIJAYAWADA: The Centre has directed the Telangana government to clear pending dues of Rs 6,756.92 crore to Andhra Pradesh power distribution companies in 30 days in accordance with Section 2 of the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014.
The Power Ministry issued an order to this effect on Monday, exactly a week after Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy had met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and sought his intervention in the matter.
The order stated that the Power System Operation Corporation, in its letter dated June 18, 2014, had conveyed during a meeting on March 28, 2014 that AP Southern Power Distribution Company Limited (APSLDC) will continue supplying power according to the schedule in force as on June 2, 2014.
In accordance with the decision taken, AP Power Generation Corporation (APGENCO) supplied power to Telangana from June 2, 2014 to June 10, 2017. The order noted that there was no dispute in the amount to be paid. Telangana discoms owe AP a principal sum of Rs 3,441.78 crore and a late payment surcharge of Rs 3,315.14 crore (up to July 31, 2022).
The order stated that “every right of one party entails a corresponding duty, right and duty are co-joined and as such Telangana must pay the power dues to Andhra Pradesh for electricity supplied to them under the orders of the Government of India issued under the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act.” | https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/andhra-pradesh/2022/aug/30/centre-directs-telanganadiscoms-to-clear-dues-of-rs-6756-crore-to-ap-in-30-days-2493008.html | 2022-08-30T22:29:56Z | https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/andhra-pradesh/2022/aug/30/centre-directs-telanganadiscoms-to-clear-dues-of-rs-6756-crore-to-ap-in-30-days-2493008.html | true | 1 |
Early on in the Echo and the Bunnymen set on Monday night at the Fox Theater in Oakland, Ian McCulloch responded to a query from the audience about how he was feeling.
“I’m feeling good — fantastic,” the vocalist answered. “Thanks for asking.”
Yet, it was hard to take him on his word on this night, when all the evidence pointed very much to the contrary.
Walking into the Fox, most fans had probably heard that McCulloch hadn’t been feeling well on this tour — he had been sick at an earlier Atlanta gig, according to a tweet from the band, and has reportedly been suffering from major problems with his back. The group also ended up postponing a pair of Texas dates, in Houston and Dallas, due to “unforeseen circumstances.”
Supporters of the Liverpool-born post-punk act were obviously hoping that all those difficulties were in the rearview mirror and that McCulloch would be in fine shape to lead the six-piece Bunnymen band through an excellent evening of song in Oakland.
Not even close.
The show started out fairly well, with McCulloch approximately resembling himself on the opening number “Going Up” — from the band’s 1980 debut, “Crocodiles” — and then moving up to the sophomore effort “Heaven Up Here” for a comparatively strong “Show of Strength.”
Yet, even during the first half of the show — which was leaps and bounds better than what came later — it seemed like there was an energy black hole in the middle of the stage where McCulloch sat on a stool shrouded in semi-darkness. I’m all in favor of being artistic and setting the mood, but not when it comes at the complete loss of stage presence.
Some might applaud McCulloch for sticking it out and performing when he obviously wasn’t at 100 percent. But, then again, those people might not have witnessed his actual performance at the Fox on Monday night.
About a half-dozen songs into the show — right around the time the band was finishing up an applause-worthy version of “Bring on the Dancing Horses” from 1985’s “Songs to Learn and Sing” — the whole thing started to go downhill fast.
McCulloch — at one point saying “I’ve got a frog in my throat” — was having a really hard time carrying a tune or trying to stay in time with the band. The rest of the group tried to carry the heavy load, but when the frontman is having this hard of a go it will ultimately impact the whole ensemble.
Things that should have been true highlights — such as a blend of “Nothing Lasts Forever” with Lou Reed’s “Walk on the Wild Side” and the band’s acclaimed cover of the Doors’ “People Are Strange” — were anything but.
Will Sergeant was brilliant in spots, painting with dramatic post-punk style and flare on “All My Colours (Zimbo)” and other numbers during the first half of the show. Yet, the guitarist — who was the sole band member shown in bright light on the stage — seemed to slink back into the shadows, figurately speaking, as the night progressed.
The group managed to pull it together for one song at the end — delivering a great version of “The Cutter” from 1983’s “Porcupine” — before exiting the stage after just 57 minutes.
And it might have been better if Echo and the Bunnymen hadn’t returned, given what would occur during the two encores.
First up, the group delivered a sour take on “Lips Like Sugar” — one of the best songs of the ’80s — by deciding to refashion it into a plodding, jammed-out bore. Then came a barely professional take on “The Killing Moon” — another huge fan favorite — that would’ve gotten booed off a karaoke stage. The band closed, thankfully, with a disappointing “Ocean Rain.”
The fans clapped half-heartedly, with some shaking their heads at what they’d experienced on this night, clearly in hopes that they’d never hear a repeat of this particular Echo show.

Soccer-Feisty Fulham bring Brighton's unbeaten run to an end
Aleksandar Mitrovic bagged his 100th goal for Fulham on the way to a 2-1 Premier League win over Brighton & Hove Albion at Craven Cottage on Tuesday, bringing an end to the visitors' longest unbeaten run in the top flight. "A great win, a great three points," Fulham manager Marco Silva told reporters.
Aleksandar Mitrovic bagged his 100th goal for Fulham on the way to a 2-1 Premier League win over Brighton & Hove Albion at Craven Cottage on Tuesday, bringing an end to the visitors' longest unbeaten run in the top flight.
"A great win, a great three points," Fulham manager Marco Silva told reporters. "We controlled the game really well. They (the players) deserved the win." For long stretches of the first half Fulham sat deep and sought to catch the visitors out on the break. While they did manage to break forward a number of times, with Mitrovic making some mazy runs goalwards, they were let down by their wayward final touches.
At the other end Solly March had the best chance of the half for Brighton, but sent his header wide of Bernd Leno's goal. Mitrovic finally broke the deadlock in the 48th minute when Neeskens Kebano swept the ball across the goalmouth for the powerful Serb to fire in at the far post. It was the striker's 100th goal for the Cottagers in all competitions.
Fulham had the Seagulls reeling seven minutes later when Andreas Pereira crossed the ball in only for Lewis Dunk to deflect it heavily into his own net, piling the misery on Graham Potter's men. Brighton were thrown a lifeline moments later, however, when Bobby De Cordova-Reid brought down Pervis Estupinan in the area, and Alexis Mac Allister smashed his penalty in high past the lunging Bernd Leno.
De Cordova-Reid spurned a golden opportunity to restore Fulham's two-goal advantage in the 70th minute when Mitrovic laid the ball off for him on the right side of the area, only for the Jamaican forward to blaze his shot high and wide. But Fulham held on for the win in front of the crowd of 22,224, with the home fans cheering ecstatically when referee Thomas Bramall, officiating his first top division match, blew the whistle after six minutes of extra time.
"We controlled the final minutes and showed the maturity that I really want to see in the team," Silva said. Mitrovic himself said he felt Fulham deserved the three points after a battling performance.
"We gave everything tonight. In the first half we didn't play like we wanted. In the second half we tried to press a little higher and scored two goals, then conceded one sloppy one. We died for each other tonight," he told BT Sport after the match. The win lifts Fulham to sixth in the table on eight points from five games, while Brighton remain in fourth place on 10 points ahead of a full slate of midweek fixtures.
It also brings to an end Brighton's nine-match unbeaten run, their longest in the Premier League. "Overall Fulham deserved to win and we weren't as good as we can be. We made too many execution mistakes. It was just one of those nights where we weren't at our level," Brighton boss Potter told reporters after the match.
"Mitrovic is a handful," he added.
