Paul Heckingbottom does not believe his players will suffer too much of a hangover from their play-off semi-final defeat to Nottingham Forest last season. However, he feels he will only know if that's the case once the first month of the season is out of the way.
The effect of relegation, as United found out last season, or the blow of missing out on promotion has been known to carry on into the following campaign and there can be instances of a hangover effecting a team's start.
There appeared no sign of that on Saturday when Sheffield United got their campaign up and running with an early victory in their first home game of the season against Millwall.
READ MORE: The balancing act Paul Heckingbottom and Sheffield United face amid more Sander Berge interest
Goals from Iliman Ndiaye and Sander Berge set them on their way to a welcome success and saw the majority of the 27,738 crowd go home happy.
With eight games in August, possibly nine if they beat West Brom in Thursday's Carabao Cup first round clash, Heckingbottom will have a better indication of where his team is at but believes there should not be too much of a cloud hanging over them from that penalty shoot-out defeat at the City Ground.
"No, but it's easy for me to say they won't be, there shouldn't be, but you don't know," he explained. "It's a new season and it won't settle down for a long time yet.
"We'll focus on what we do and how we want to win. The league won't settle down and we won't know how good we are, what we are doing well and where we need to improve until a few games in. We need to keep pushing and trying, making sure we stay on that front foot and pick up as many points as we can and about eight to 10 games in we'll have a better idea and see how far we are behind some and what we are doing better than others."
The new signings that have already arrived will help with that as they bring a freshness to the squad and with plenty of attacking options the Blades boss wants it to be another entertaining season.
"We have got a way of playing and we want to win and keep doing our work on the opposition," he added. "Against Millwall a big part of us winning was how we defended the set plays but we always want to be front foot in possession and try and create chances. I thought we showed both sides of that."

TOKYO — Asian shares mostly declined Tuesday amid a global fall in technology shares, including Japan’s SoftBank, which has reported hefty losses caused by the market downturn.
Shares fell in Tokyo and Hong Kong but rose in other regional markets. U.S. futures edged higher. Oil prices fell.
Japan’s technology investor SoftBank Group Corp. dropped more than 4% in Tokyo trading. On Monday it reported a record quarterly loss of $23 billion. A global nose-dive of technology-related issues, such as Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba, dragged on its sprawling portfolio of investments.
Analysts monitoring Asian markets said regional tensions also remain a risk, because of the flareup between China and Taiwan after the recent visit of U.S. House Speak Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan.
China has said it’s extending threatening military exercises surrounding Taiwan, disrupting shipping and air traffic and raising up a notch worries about trade.
“It is worth keeping track of the geopolitical landscape as any major developments on the China/Taiwan front could impact overall risk demand. China confirmed it would extend military drills around Taiwan, and the military will conduct ‘regular’ exercises on the eastern side of the median line of the Taiwan Strait,” said Anderson Alves at ActivTrades.
Japan’s benchmark Nikkei 225 dipped 0.9% in afternoon trading to 27,999.96. Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 edged up 0.1% to 7,029.80. South Korea’s Kospi edged 0.5% higher to 2,504.60. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng erased earlier gains and fell nearly 0.1% to 20,029.60, while the Shanghai Composite edged up 0.3% to 3,245.92.
Also of concern are the rising cases of COVID-19 in some Asian nations, and their potential impact on supply chains that are a lifeline to some of the region’s biggest manufacturers.
Technology stocks were the biggest drag on Wall Street Monday. The S&P 500 slipped 0.1% to 4,140.06 and the Nasdaq shed 0.1% to 12,644.46. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed 0.1% higher, at 32,832.54. The Russell 2000 rose 1% to 1,941.21.
The market’s latest gyrations came as investors prepare for a busy week of economic updates that could help answer whether the Federal Reserve’s efforts to cool the economy and quell inflation are working, or whether the central bank will continue aggressively raising interest rates. Wall Street is worried that the Fed could hit the brakes too hard and cause a recession.
The Fed is expected to hike short-term interest rates by another 0.75 percentage points at its next meeting.
The benchmark S&P 500 index is coming off three consecutive weekly gains.
The U.S. Labor Department will release its July report for consumer prices on Wednesday, followed by its report for prices at the wholesale level on Thursday.
This week’s inflation updates follow reports last week showing the employment market remains strong. While that’s good for the economy, it has complicated the Fed’s effort to cool inflation.
Investors are still reviewing the latest round of corporate earnings, which could also provide more details on how hard inflation is hitting consumers and businesses.
Clean energy companies gained ground following the Senate's approval for Democrats’ big election-year economic package, which includes funding to help fight climate change. First Solar rose 4.7%.
Bond yields fell. The yield on the 10-year Treasury, which influences interest rates on mortgages and other consumer loans, slipped to 2.76% from 2.83% late Friday.
In energy trading, benchmark U.S. crude fell 55 cents to $90.21 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. It added $1.89 to $90.76 a barrel on Monday.
Brent crude, the international standard lost 61 cents to $96.04 a barrel.
In currency trading, the U.S. dollar fell to 134.89 Japanese yen from 134.98 yen. The euro cost $1.0203, inching up from $1.0193.

Militants kill 17 soldiers in Mali attack
BAMAKO, Aug 9 (Reuters) - Militants killed 17 Malian soldiers and four civilians in an attack near the town of Tessit on Sunday, the Malian army said.
Nine soldiers were also reported missing and vehicles and equipment were destroyed, it said in a statement released late on Monday, adding that it suspected an Islamic State affiliate.
"On 07 August 2022 around 15h00, the army units of Tessit... responded vigorously to a complex and coordinated attack by armed terrorist groups, presumably from ISGS (Islamic State in the Greater Sahara) and benefiting from drone and artillery support," the statement said.
Mali is facing a worsening insurgency by Islamist armed groups, some linked to al Qaeda and Islamic State, which has expanded to its neighbours Burkina Faso and Niger.
The army said it killed at least seven on the enemy side.

Emmerdale couple Charity Dingle and Mackenzie Boyd will be left devastated next week when they lose their baby due to an ectopic pregnancy.
ITV spoilers reveal that viewers will see a new side to Mack as he settles into his new attentive role, and is touched by his sister Moira's words about him being a great dad.
However, at Jacobs Fold Charity is suddenly hit with a wave of pain and she worries something is wrong with the baby.
Moments later, Mackenzie enters to find a broken Charity struggling on the floor and as he scoops her up into his arms, she's worried that it may already be too late.
Charity's gutted at Mackenzie's optimism as they arrive at the hospital and the pair try to hide their fear from one another as a doctor rushes them to the Early Pregnancy Unit.
The pair are anxious when they are left awaiting some results as the radiographer heads off to find a doctor.
Sadly, the doctor confirms that Charity's pregnancy is ectopic, and therefore not viable.
In heartbreaking scenes, Mackenzie is blown away and heartbroken as he and Charity hear the heartbeat of the baby they are destined to lose.
Shell-shocked, Mackenzie and Charity are left alone to process what has happened.
Emotionally drained, Charity psyches herself up for what she must do and although she's grateful for Mackenzie's support, it's evident that Mackenzie isn't as okay as he's making out.
However, Charity makes it clear that she is dealing with the loss of her pregnancy by moving on with normal life. How will this impact their relationship though? And will Mack be able to do the same?
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV, with an hour-long episode on Thursdays.

Seoul shares rise to 2-month high amid inflation, rate hike uncertainties
SEOUL, Aug. 9 (Yonhap) -- South Korean stocks closed moderately higher Tuesday to extend their winning streak to a fifth day, as investors keep a wary eye on upcoming U.S. inflation data that might offer a clue as to the Federal Reserve's next move in its monetary policy. The local currency inched up against the U.S. dollar.
After choppy trading, the Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) rose 10.36 points, or 0.42 percent to 2,503.46, the highest since June 13 when the index ended at 2,504.51. Trading volume was moderate at 446.4 million shares worth 8.74 trillion won (US$6.69 billion) with gainers outstripping decliners 422 to 412.
"Stocks moved range-bound as investors took a cautious approach ahead of the U.S. consumer price index announcement, despite some positive macro indicators, such as the inflation expectations and the won's recent gain," said Han Ji-young, an analyst at Kiwoom Securities Co.
U.S. stocks closed almost flat on Monday (local time) after the country reported robust jobs data, a possible indication that the Fed could go ahead with a sharp rate hike in the September policy meeting to tame decades-high inflation.
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York lowered the inflation expectations to 6.2 percent from 6.8 percent for the next 12 months.
The U.S. consumer price data, set to be released Wednesday, is expected to provide a further clue as to whether the Fed will go easy in the aggressive monetary tightening.
Seoul stocks turned to positive territory toward the closing bell, led by foodmakers and materials companies.
Top foodmaker CJ Cheiljedang soared 8.62 percent to 428,500 won and POSCO Chemical jumped 5.57 percent to 151,500 won, both on the back of strong quarterly earnings.
Battery makers also finished bullish. LG Energy Solution climbed 2.35 percent to 457,500 won, with Samsung SDI gaining 3.02 percent to 615,000 won, after the U.S. Senate' approval of a major bill aimed at curbing greenhouse gas emissions, a boon for South Korean energy companies focused on secondary battery and other eco-friendly energy sources.
But tech blue-chips ended lower. Market heavyweight Samsung Electronics fell 1.32 percent to 60,000 won on dimmer prospects after U.S. chipmaker Nvidia Corp. said it expects a 19-percent on-quarter decline in the second quarter revenue. Nvidia's shares tumbled more than 6 percent on Nasdaq on Monday.
The local currency ended at 1,304.60 won against the U.S. dollar, up 1.8 won from Monday's close.

Ofsted finds babies at Liverpool nursery ate lotion in messy play
- Published
A nursery which gave babies lotion to explore during messy play, which they subsequently ate, has been ordered to improve following an Ofsted inspection.
Inspectors found learning at Barton's Day Nursery, on Liverpool's Lower Lane, was "inconsistent" and "not focused" and rated it inadequate.
The June inspection also highlighted a need to improve risk assessments and staff training.
Owner Christine Barton said changes had been made following the inspection.
She told the Local Democracy Reporting Service that she was "confident that our next inspection will paint a truer picture of our setting as a whole".
The Ofsted report said the centre, which cares for children under the age of four, did not "properly risk assess or consider the age of children when choosing the materials used during messy play activities".
It said that led to children under one year old being given baby lotion to explore, which was "subsequently eaten".
'Most unexpected'
The report also said that while staff received "supervision meetings and some feedback on their performance", what they were told was "not specific enough to improve their knowledge and skills further".
"This means there are inconsistencies in the quality of care and education that children receive," it said.
They said that while toddlers and two-year-old children had "a lovely experience" and accessed "interesting activities" that were tailored to meet their individual needs", for babies and pre-school children, learning was "much more inconsistent".
"Not all activities are tailored to support their existing skills," the report said.
"Learning is not focused and does not help children to extend their knowledge further.
"Consequently, some babies wander around not engaged in play or learning."
Rating all areas of the nursery as either inadequate or requiring improvement, the report said it needed to "implement thorough risk assessments... with particular regard to messy play materials" and "implement effective coaching, mentoring and training".
Ms Barton said the report was "most unexpected", but the nursery had "reviewed our processes and put robust procedures in place to ensure that baby lotion or any substance deemed inappropriate is not used in messy play and sensory activities".
She added that the nursery has traded for almost 30 years and had "worked hard to support parents and carers by creating a safe, stimulating and happy place for their children to learn and thrive". | https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-62476138?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=KARANGA | 2022-08-09T09:27:59Z | https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-62476138?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=KARANGA | false |

Jennette McCurdy is well-aware the title of her new book, “I’m Glad My Mom Died,” (Simon & Schuster) is attention-grabbing. She also readily admits that she means every word. “It’s something that I mean sincerely, I’m not saying it to be flippant.”
McCurdy, who co-starred in Nickelodeon shows “iCarly” with Miranda Cosgrove and its spin-off “ Sam & Cat ” opposite Ariana Grande, hopes readers will understand why she makes such a bold statement,
“I hope that readers feel that by the end of it, ‘this makes sense.’”
The 30-year-old writes in her book that her mother Debra “was a narcissist” who “emotionally, mentally and physically abused” her. She pushed McCurdy into an acting career as a child and encouraged her to have an eating disorder, McCurdy says. Her mother insisted on giving her daughter showers through her late teens, claiming she didn’t wash her hair correctly, McCurdy says.
It wasn’t until seeking therapy after her mother’s death from complications of cancer in 2013 that McCurdy began to fully deal with the trauma she was put through. Before therapy, McCurdy, was drinking excessively and had unhealthy romantic relationships. Now after years of work on herself, she’s sharing her story with the world. Writing the book, she says, was an emotional rollercoaster.
“I’d be crying while writing it and then I’d be laughing, remembering something. My mom’s way of speaking was humorous and very distinct and writing that out was a very dynamic, emotional experience.”
McCurdy, who hosts a podcast called “ Empty Inside, ” spoke with The Associated Press about looking back, therapy and how she may return to work in front of the camera.
Answers have been edited for clarity and length.
——
AP: It’s one thing to come to realizations about your childhood through therapy but another to share those discoveries with the world. What made you want to put it out there, first in a one-woman show (also called “I’m Glad My Mom Died”) and now in a book?
McCurdy: I think finding shape is very important. There’s certainly many stages of processing. Processing the events that happened in my childhood took so long in therapy. I needed to do so much of that excavating work on my own.
AP: When you think back now about your childhood and your mom, what do you think?
McCurdy: My grandfather passed away a few years ago, and I got to really experience what I consider a more conventional grieving process of a really close family member… It was heartbreaking and devastating. With my mother’s death, I’d go from being so, so deeply angry to then feeling just so sorry for her. And so I could feel compassion and sympathy and then just anger and rage. I’d cry because I missed her and I’d be angry that I was crying that I missed her and feel she doesn’t deserve these tears. I think abusive love is so complicated … It’s going to be mixed and messy.
AP: Your book is also a reminder of how you never really know what’s going on with someone because people would watch you on these shows and maybe think, ‘Oh, she’s got it all.’
McCurdy: Now my life is very boring. At the time, being on this children’s television show that’s so glossy and so polished and so exactly like perfect … my actual life felt so the opposite. Living in that dichotomy felt really confusing. But also now in retrospect, I see that there’s a lot of humor in that. As agonizing as it is to be in the ambulance with my mother while she’s convulsing in the middle of a seizure, to look up and see my face (on a billboard) felt like my life was mocking me.
AP: Are you definitely done with acting?
McCurdy: Recently, and only since writing the book, there’s been a part of me that’s like, you know, maybe I’ll write something for myself. I could see something like that happening where I think there’s a version of acting that could potentially be healing for me now, especially if I were the one sort of writing the thing.
AP: Now we should really shout out how great it is when you find the right therapist.
McCurdy: It’s so important, right? You’ve got to try a couple because you’re going to get some doozies. You’re going to get some people who just make you feel worse. They’re like very preoccupied with their doodling or whatever they’re doing.
AP: Are you still in therapy?
McCurdy: I am. I just saw my therapist yesterday. It’s funny because now if I look at my journal notes from when I first started therapy, it’s like, how many times did I binge and purge today? And, like, trying to have a better relationship with alcohol. Now it feels like little tuneups or thinking about turning 30. What an amazing thing to be able to go into a therapy session and just talk about (expletive) turning 30.
AP: How is your relationship with food now?”
McCurdy: I’m so happy you ask because I don’t obsess about food at all. I say this because I want people to know that I do believe it’s possible to not have it haunt you for the rest of your life. I feel great in my recovery. I consider myself recovered. For anybody who might be struggling now, I want them to know it’s possible to recover. | https://www.wane.com/entertainment-news/ap-entertainment/jennette-mccurdy-rises-above-childhood-trauma-with-new-book/ | 2022-08-09T09:41:56Z | https://www.wane.com/entertainment-news/ap-entertainment/jennette-mccurdy-rises-above-childhood-trauma-with-new-book/ | true |

The Nobu destination will uniquely combine modern, forward-thinking design touches, Nobu's signature elegance and minimalism and the traditions of Japanese design. Situated below the hotel and residences, the Danang City Centre podium will offer high-end retail shopping, an upscale Chinese restaurant, a modern Vietnamese fine-dining restaurant, and an American steakhouse. A cocktail bar and lounge will be positioned on the rooftop of the building, offering stunning views for sunset drinks and after-hours entertainment in Danang.
Trevor Horwell, Chief Executive Officer Nobu Hospitality says, "We are excited to further expand into the Asia Pacific region and bring Nobu to the Vietnam market, a rapidly growing tourist destination, with one of the most beautiful and desirable locations in Danang.

Ventnor Community Church will kick off its 100th anniversary celebration with a community barbecue fundraiser 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 14, following its 10 a.m. service at 2 South Victoria Ave. in Ventnor City.
Donations will be accepted at the event for repairs to the historic church that was severely damaged during Hurricane Sandy in 2012. The church was not eligible for Sandy relief funds and has been in the process of getting major repairs done over the past 10 years, but much more needs to be done. In addition to the repairs, the church needs to become ADA compliant.
As a nonprofit organization, the church relies on donations to further its mission of community leadership and spiritual guidance in Christian worship. The church aims to raise $50,000 for repairs to the building. Donations may be made on its Go Fund Me page: gofundme.com.
Founded on Nov. 22, 1922, the Ventnor Community Church is nondenominational and is affiliated with Waters Edge of South Jersey — “the church for the unchurched,” geared to those who wish to practice spiritually but do not fully identify with the Christian faith.

"I like the whole concept of exploration. It's humanity pushing its limits. It the curiosity. There is going to be another space race. But it's going to be Mars."
If Karyn Cravens wanted her daughter, Kathleen, to pursue her dreams, she didn't need to wish upon a star.
She just needed to show them off.
More than a decade ago, Karyn helped set her daughter's course by taking her out on the front lawn of their Cumming, Georgia, home whenever something unusual was happening in the sky.
"My mom had a star tracking app," said Kathleen, who now is a 17-year-old rising senior at Lakewood Ranch High School. "The app would send notifications when there were different star events, such as shooting stars. We would go out at 2 a.m. to watch a meteor shower."
It wasn't long before Kathleen began waking her mom up for that trip to the front lawn.
"I was the one who would ask to go," she said. "I was fascinated by the stars."
So fascinated that at 7 years old, Kathleen attended the Space Camp at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama.
While many kids like to go to the fair to ride the Gravitron, where you spin so fast you stick to the walls when the floor drops out, Kathleen's cup of tea was a zero gravity training device which prepares astronauts for a trip into space.
Call it sophisticated spinning.
She came out dizzy, tipsy and astounded.
"That definitely sparked my interest (in space)," she said.
As time progressed, Kathleen absorbed all she could about space, but her desire to be an astronaut gave way to another interest: building things.
"My parents called me 'The Little Tinkerer,'" Kathleen said.
When those interests combined, she began to imagine working on rockets. It intensified when she got to Lakewood Ranch High as a freshman and joined the StellarXplorers Space STEM Program, which is designed to propel students toward an aerospace industry career.
She also has pursued internships the past two years and just returned from a two-week internship — Student Enhancement in Earth and Space Science at the University of Texas' Center for Space Research.
Students worked with scientists and engineers on projects that tasked them with doing research and collecting data. The program is sponsored by NASA's Texas Space Grant Consortium.
More than 1,100 applications for the program were received and whittled down to the 92 students who were selected. The program actually started in May as students worked remotely with scientists until they arrived on site in July.
The trip was testament to the fact experiments don't always go as planned.
She worked on a weather balloon that was sent 1,000 feet into the atmosphere to test different types of technology. The balloon was supposed to collect data every 50 feet, in which it would stop for 45 seconds. However, the temperature that day was 105 degrees and the heat fried the technology being tested, plus the balloon ripped on the way down.
"We think it overheated," she said.
Nonetheless, Kathleen and her team prepared a presentation that was given virtually to about 3,000 engineers and scientists.
Trial and error will be part of her life once she lands a job following college. She has just begun the application process and is interested in the University of Central Florida, the University of Florida, Auburn University, the University of Alabama and Georgia Tech University.
Georgia Tech is ranked No. 2 in its aerospace program behind only the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Although Kathleen, who lives in Country Club East, isn't sure she eventually will land a job with NASA, she notes that "NASA hired mechanical engineers."
Karyn Cravens isn't worried her daughter won't have options when she decides a career path to follow.
"She is a Renaissance girl," Karyn said, noting her daughter plays saxophone in Lakewood Ranch High's Wind Ensemble and Jazz bands and also is the goalie on the Mustangs' lacrosse team.
She might be one of Lakewood Ranch High's most academically gifted students, but she has a tough streak as well. When she went out for her lacrosse team in junior high, most of the other girls on the team already had their positions. Nobody wanted to play goalie, so that's what she decided to do.
Now during lacrosse season, "I am covered in bruises," she said.
Kathleen, who started competing in robotics when she was 7, noted that if she doesn't land a job in the aerospace industry, having a mechanical engineering degree can give her plenty of other options to satisfy her building desire.
"But I am pretty confident I wanted to work in the aerospace industry," she said. "I think rocket propulsion is cool. It would be great to see a rocket that I worked on getting launched … to see your work going up in space."
And she still goes out on the front lawn to look skyward.
"There was a super moon a few weeks ago," she said. "I went out and watched that about midnight. I though it was really cool."
If she does launch into an aerospace career, the moon isn't likely to be the target.
"I like the whole concept of exploration," she said. "It's humanity pushing its limits. It the curiosity.
"There is going to be another space race. But it's going to be Mars."

Leeds complete the signing of FA Cup winner Joel Robles on a free transfer... with the former Everton and Wigan goalkeeper becoming Jesse Marsch's seventh summer signing
- Joel Robles has completed his move to Leeds United on a free transfer
- He has joined the Premier League club on a one-year contract until next summer
- Robles has previously played in the Premier League for Everton and Wigan
- He won the FA Cup with Wigan back in 2013 when they beat Man City in the final
- Leeds have now made seven signings in this summer's transfer window
Leeds United have completed the signing of former Everton and Wigan goalkeeper Joel Robles on a free transfer.
The Premier League outfit have been looking to add an experienced shot-stopper to their ranks this summer, and they have now landed the 32-year-old on an initial one-year deal.
Leeds confirmed the signing on Tuesday morning, with Robles becoming Jesse Marsch's seventh signing of the current transfer window. The club posted a short video clip on their official Twitter, where Robles expressed his delight at being back in England.
Former Everton and Wigan goalkeeper Joel Robles has joined Leeds on a free transfer
The experienced shot-stopper has signed a one-year contract at Elland Road
Robles also won the FA Cup with Wigan back in 2013 after they beat Man City in the final
'I'm really excited to be back four years later [after leaving England] in this fantastic club,' Robles said.
'My objective this season is to keep my mentality, work hard, help my team-mates and really complete our objectives as a team.'
Robles is no stranger to England's top flight, having made 51 appearances in the Premier League during his time at Wigan and Everton.
His standout moment in England came in the FA Cup, though, back in 2013. Robles was handed the gloves for the majority of Wigan's run in the competition that year, starting four of their five matches.
Having conceded just one goal in his first three games, Robles was picked for the final against Manchester City by manager Roberto Martinez, and he kept a clean sheet as Wigan stunned their opponents with an injury-time Ben Watson header sealing a dramatic 1-0 victory at Wembley.
Robles won the Copa del Rey with Real Betis earlier this year as they beat Valencia on penalties
In recent years, Robles has been back in his homeland playing for Real Betis, and he earned silverware with the club earlier this year.
Having played in their opening three Copa del Rey matches last term, Robles watched on as Betis made it all the way to the final before beating Valencia 6-5 on penalties in the showpiece event.
He was allowed to leave the club at the end of the season, and has now been picked up by Leeds.
Robles will provide cover for highly-rated goalkeeper Illan Meslier at Elland Road, and will be battling with youngster Kristoffer Klaesson to be the Frenchman's understudy. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11094609/Leeds-complete-signing-goalkeeper-Joel-Robles.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-08-09T09:54:17Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11094609/Leeds-complete-signing-goalkeeper-Joel-Robles.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true |

Abstract
U.S. military veterans have been heavily impacted by the opioid overdose crisis, with drug overdose mortality rates increasing by 53% from 2010-2019. Risk for overdose among veterans is complex and influenced by ongoing interaction among physiological/biological, psychological, and socio-structural factors. A thorough understanding of opioid-related overdose among veterans, one that goes beyond simple pharmacological determinism, must examine the interplay of pain, pain treatment, and stress, as well as psychological and social experiences--before, during, and after military service. Comprehensive efforts to tackle the overdose crisis among veterans require interventions that address each of these dimensions. Promising interventions include widespread naloxone distribution and increased provision of low-threshold wrap-around services, including medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) and holistic/complementary approaches. Interventions that are delivered by peers - individuals who share key experiential or sociodemographic characteristics with the population being served - may be ideally suited to address many of the barriers to opioid-related risk mitigation common among veterans. Community care models could be beneficial for the large proportion of veterans who are not connected to the Veterans Health Administration and for veterans who, for various reasons including mental health problems and the avoidance of stigma, are socially isolated or reluctant to use traditional substance use services. Interventions need to be tailored in such a way that they reach those more socially isolated veterans who may not have access to naloxone or the social support to help them in overdose situations. It is important to incorporate the perspectives and voices of veterans with lived experience of substance use into the design and implementation of new overdose prevention resources and strategies to meet the needs of this population. Key messagesU.S. military veterans have been heavily impacted by the opioid overdose crisis, with drug overdose mortality rates increasing by 53% from 2010-2019.The risks for overdose that veterans face need to be understood as resulting from an ongoing interaction among biological/physiological, psychological, and social/structural factors.Addressing drug overdose in the veteran population requires accessible and non-judgemental, low threshold, wraparound, and holistic solutions that recognise the complex aetiology of overdose risk for veterans.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Some of the heaviest rain in decades swamped South Korea’s capital region, turning Seoul’s streets into car-clogged rivers and sending floods cascading into subway stations. At least eight people were killed — some by drowning in their homes — and seven others were missing, while more rain was forecast.
Deserted cars and buses were scattered across streets as the water receded on Tuesday as workers cleared uprooted trees, mud and debris with excavators and blocked off broken roads and pavement. Landslide warnings were issued in nearly 50 cities and towns, while 160 hiking paths in Seoul and mountainous Gangwon province were closed.
“The heavy rainfall is expected to continue for days … we need to maintain our sense of alert and respond with all-out effort,” President Yoon Suk Yeol said at the government’s emergency headquarters. He directed officials’ attention to areas vulnerable to landslides or flooding and to reducing the dangers of roads and facilities already damaged to prevent more deaths.
Most of Seoul’s subway services were back to normal operations, but dozens of roads were closed due to safety concerns. The military was prepared to deploy troops to help with recovery efforts if requested by cities or regional governments, Defense Ministry spokesperson Moon Hong-sik said.
The rain began Monday morning and intensified through the evening.
By nightfall, people were wading through thigh-high waters in streets in Gangnam, one of Seoul’s most bustling business and leisure districts, where cars and buses were stuck in mud-brown waters. Commuters evacuated as water cascaded down the stairs of the Isu subway station like a waterfall. In the nearby city of Seongnam, a rain-weakened hillside collapsed into a university soccer field.
Rescue workers failed to reach three people – two sisters in their 40s and a 13-year-old girl – who called for help before drowning in a basement home in the Gwanak district of southern Seoul Monday night. Another woman drowned at her home in the nearby Dongjak district, where a public worker died while clearing up fallen trees, likely from electrocution. Choi Seon-yeong, an official from the Dongjak district ward office, said it wasn’t immediately clear whether the water was electrified because of a damaged power source or equipment the man was using.
Three people were found dead in the debris of landslides and a collapsed bus station in the nearby cities of Gwangju and Hwaseong.
Four people went missing in southern Seoul’s Seocho district, which is also home to the private residence of Yoon, who, according to his office, spent hours on the phone receiving briefings and issuing instructions overnight as the rain flooded some of the streets near his high-rise apartment complex.
Nearly 800 buildings in Seoul and nearby cities were damaged while at least 790 people were forced to evacuate from their homes, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety said.
The country’s weather agency maintained a heavy rain warning for the Seoul metropolitan area and nearby regions on Tuesday and said the precipitation may reach 5 to 10 centimeters an hour (2 to 4 inches) in some areas. It said around 10 to 35 centimeters (4 to 14 inches) of more rain was expected across the capital region through Thursday.
More than 43 centimeters (17 inches) of rain were measured in Seoul’s hardest-hit Dongjak district from Monday to noon Tuesday. The per-hour precipitation in that area exceeded 14 centimeters (5.5 inches) at one point Monday night, which was the highest hourly downpour measured in Seoul since 1942.
Rainstorms also pounded North Korea, where authorities issued heavy rain warnings for the southern and western parts of the country. The North’s official Rodong Sinmun newspaper described the rain as potentially “disastrous” and called for measures to protect farmland and prevent flooding on the Taedong river, which flows through the capital, Pyongyang. | https://www.wric.com/news/u-s-world/rains-in-s-korea-turn-seouls-roads-to-rivers-leave-7-dead/ | 2022-08-09T09:54:47Z | https://www.wric.com/news/u-s-world/rains-in-s-korea-turn-seouls-roads-to-rivers-leave-7-dead/ | true |
Prominent demographers are asking the U.S. Census Bureau to abandon a controversial method for protecting survey and census participants’ confidentiality, saying it is jeopardizing the usability of numbers that are the foundation of the nation’s data infrastructure.
The Census Bureau embraced using differential privacy algorithms for the first time with the release last year of the first round of 2020 census data. Those numbers were used for determining how many congressional seats each state gets, as well as redrawing political districts in a once-a-decade process known as redistricting.
The demographers and other researchers ask in a letter to Census Bureau Director Robert Santos that the agency drop future plans to use the algorithms on two other important data releases — annual population estimates and the American Community Survey figures. The annual population estimates are used in the distribution of $1.5 trillion in federal funding each year. The American Community Survey provides the most comprehensive data on how people in the U.S. live by asking questions about commuting times, internet access, family life, income, education levels, disabilities, military service and employment.
The privacy protection methods “are inappropriate for the critically important data sets, which are fundamental to American democracy and to equity in redistricting, fund allocation and planning for government services of all kind,” the letter said.
The Census Bureau has said that the differential privacy algorithms are needed since, without them, the growth of easily available third-party data combined with modern computing could allow hackers to piece together the identities of participants in its censuses and surveys in violation of the law. Previous methods of protection are no longer effective, according to the statistical agency.
A panel of three federal judges last year refused to stop the Census Bureau from using the algorithms after their use was challenged in a lawsuit by the state of Alabama.
Census consultant Terri Ann Lowenthal said the letter reflects “the significant unease about the continued usefulness of Census Bureau data in light of new efforts to protect confidentiality in the modern world.”
“The concerns get to the heart of the bureau’s mission, so I’m sure agency leadership will take them seriously and, hopefully, find acceptable solutions based on meaningful stakeholder engagement,” said Lowenthal, a former congressional staffer who specializes in census issues.
The letter was spearheaded by steering committee members from the Federal-State Cooperative for Population Estimates, which promotes cooperation and communication between the Census Bureau and state agencies responsible for demographic research. Its members started gathering signatures for the letter last week from other researchers and will present the letter to Santos sometime in the next several weeks.
Differential privacy algorithms add intentional errors to data to obscure the identity of any given participant. It is most noticeable at the smallest geographies, such as census blocks. For the next census in 2030, the demographers recommended using other methods to protect confidentiality such as combining blocks with few people.
Some of the detailed data that were made public in previous censuses won’t be released at the smallest geographic levels, and efforts to apply the algorithm have delayed the release of the next round of 2020 census data until next year, almost two years after it should have been released, the letter said.
“These key data for local government planning will be out-of-date when they are finally released,” it said.
City University of New York sociology professor emeritus Andrew Beveridge warned over the weekend at the Joint Statistical Meetings conference in Washington that private data providers are ready “to pounce” and fill the gap if researchers feel the Census Bureau data are unusable. That could lead to the privatization of the U.S. statistical infrastructure, Beveridge said during a presentation at the largest gathering of statisticians and data users in North America.
The demographers claim in their letter that the statistical agency’s credibility is on the line, saying “the experience of the last few years has undermined user trust in the Census Bureau.”
At a meeting sponsored by the National Academies in June, Santos was asked about the feasibility of reverting back to previous confidentiality methods.
“I understand where you are coming from. I feel your pain,” Santos said. “We have made a determination that if we want to protect data in today’s society… that is not possible.”

NATIONAL SUMMARY
A very slow-moving front will dip southward and stretch from
the mid-Mississippi Valley to New England today. Along this
frontal zone, drenching showers and thunderstorms are in
store. The storms will carry the risk of localized flash
flooding anywhere in this zone, especially in areas of the
Midwest that have been hit with heavy rain and flooding in
the past couple of weeks. In parts of the Northeast, the
downpours may provide some drought relief. Drenching storms
are also expected for the Southeast states, mainly from the
Gulf coast to Tennessee. Farther west, thunderstorms are in
the forecast for the Southwest. These storms may also lead
to localized flash flooding. Some of the storms are likely
to reach coastal areas of Southern California. Most areas
from the Northwest to the Upper Midwest will be dry.

Dangerous artificial marijuana, with names like K2 and Spice, is used less in states where weed is legalized
By Sandee LaMotte, CNN
There’s nothing nice or dreamy about synthetic weed, sold under such catchy names as AK-47, K2, Spice, Scoobie Snacks, Mr. Nice Guy and 24-Karat Dream.
Sometimes packaged as e-juice for vaping or as edibles, most synthetic cannabinoids are sold as dried plant materials sprayed with acetone, embalming fluid or other solvents laced with lab-made psychoactive substances.
Between 2010 and 2015, synthetic cannabis poisonings were on the rise, according to the ToxIC Case Registry, with more than 42,000 cases of toxic exposure reported during that time. However, those numbers may now be declining in states in which the use of recreational marijuana is permitted, said Tracy Klein, assistant director for the Center for Cannabis Policy, Research and Outreach at Washington State University in Vancouver, Washington.
She’s the lead author of a study that found calls to poison centers about synthetic cannabinoid fell by more than a third between 2016 and 2019 in states that have legalized marijuana for recreational use.
“These products are made in a powdered format and could be sprayed on or added to something that looks exactly like natural cannabis. So, in a party situation, I could see that someone could use this unintentionally,” said Klein, who is also an associate professor in the WSU College of Nursing.
However, people may also use synthetic cannabinoids “to attempt to avoid positive drug screens performed as a condition of employment, in substance abuse treatment programs, or in the criminal justice system,” according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
A deadly problem
Marijuana copycats have sent thousands of people to emergency rooms over the past decade. Some have even died, including a 17-year-old boy “who suffered a cardiac arrest after reportedly taking a single ‘hit’ of K2/Spice,” according to the CDC.
There’s no way to know which synthetic cannabinoids are actually in the purchased product or what else might be in the solvents used to soak the dried plants, experts say.
In April 2018 in Illinois, 153 people fell ill and four died after using synthetic cannabinoids laced with rat poison. Later that year in New Haven, Connecticut, a version of K2 sickened 95 people in two days. They experienced symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, lethargy and a loss of consciousness.
Officially known as “synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonists,” these artificial products are different from synthetically made cannabis products that have a medical use, Klein said.
“They don’t show up on regular drug tests,” she said, “nor does the body recognize them in any way that has positive effects.”
The study, published Tuesday in the Journal of Clinical Toxicology, analyzed data from the National Poison Data System between 2016 and 2019. Researchers found there were 7,600 calls related to synthetic cannabinoid use during those three years. About 65% of the calls to poisoning centers were for situations that required medical attention and 61 people died.
Over half of those calls (56%) occurred in states with restrictive cannabis policies, the study found. Closer to a third (38.6%) occurred in states that allow medicinal use and 5.5% occurred in “permissive” states, where recreational use is legal, according to the study.
How synthetic cannabinoids work
Synthetic cannabinoids were first developed in the 1980s as a way to study how tetrahydrocannabinol or THC, the psychoactive ingredient in cannabis, impacted the brain to produce a high, the CDC said.
“One particular synthetic cannabis was designed by a pharmaceutical company as a potential drug to ease pain,” Klein said. “It was found to be so strong and so powerful, and have so many side effects, that it was not pursued.”
Today synthetics are mostly produced overseas and shipped to the United States. In fact, the first shipment “recognized to contain synthetic cannabinoids was seized at a U.S. border in 2008,” according to the CDC.
“It’s not just a US problem. This has become an international problem,” said Klein, pointing to data that lists at least 320 different synthetic cannabinoids sold on the illegal market as of February 2022.
“And those are just the ones that have been reported and identified,” she added.
While not the same as weed, synthetics do work on the same cannabinoid receptors as THC, but can be up to 100 times more potent because of the way they bind with receptors in the brain, Klein said.
Exposure can cause mild to severe neurologic reactions, such as agitation and depression of the central nervous system, even to the point of coma. Other symptoms include “sleepiness, irritability, confusion, dizziness, incoordination, inability to concentrate, stroke, and seizures,” the CDC noted.
Psychiatric symptoms include “hallucinations, delusions, psychosis, violent behavior, and suicidal thoughts,” the agency said. “Other physical signs and symptoms, including tachypnea, tachycardia, hypertension, severe nausea and vomiting, chest pain and heart attack, rhabdomyolysis (breakdown of damaged muscle), kidney failure, and death.”
There is no antidote for synthetic cannabinoid poisoning and long-term effects are unknown, the CDC stated. Treatment is supportive, by using intravenous fluids, oxygen, and other airway protection and medications for agitation and combativeness.

Gene sequencing developer, Element Biosciences, bucks industry trends by committing to not increase price of reagents
SAN DIEGO, Aug. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Element Biosciences Inc., developer of the Element AVITITM System, a new and disruptive DNA sequencing platform, announced today it will implement no price increases to the entire range of AVITI reagents, including the sequencing kit, the AdeptTM and ElevateTM kits. This effort to democratize their technology and make it more broadly available and affordable, will take effect immediately for all current and future customers of the AVITI system.
Element has departed from industry norms by setting consistent and transparent pricing. The current industry standard is to offer different discounts to different customers, leading some customers to pay significantly more for the same product on top of standard annual price increases. This opaque pricing is one source of frustration among the scientific community. Reagent costs are one of the main drivers of a lab's operational budget and a key reason most customers "batch" samples. To realize the most economical price per gigabyte, labs wait to fully fill a flow cell before sequencing on existing systems. Depending on the sequencing platform used and the throughput of samples coming in, it can sometimes take several weeks to fill a flow cell. This causes inherent delays in the end-user obtaining their results.
"Our zero price increase commitment is core to our mission to enable more science to be done faster and cheaper by the global scientific community. The AVITI system delivers unprecedented data quality and flexibility, now at even better value with added assurance of lifetime affordability," explains Molly He, PhD, CEO and co-founder of Element Biosciences.
Element Bioscience's published price for one 300-cycle sequencing kit is $1,680 and the company will keep this price flat for the lifetime of the AVITI system. This will also apply to the 150-cycle kit, priced at $1,080, which will launch by the end of 2022. With current market volatility and inflationary pressures, the efforts announced today will allow researchers to more accurately plan and resource sequencing costs for the future.
"Having been at the bench myself, it is very valuable for a scientist or lab director to have future visibility of their reagent costs, which is a big part of their ongoing operational costs. Keeping prices flat in the highest inflation period of the past 40 years shows our deep commitment to our mission and confidence in our product and innovation roadmap. This is one of many steps Element plans to take in our laser-focused commitment to drive down the cost per genome while leading with the best data quality," said He.
Element AVITITM System
The AVITITM System operates two random access flow cells that enable independent run start flexibility of each flow cell, and the AVITI operating software features tunable read throughput control for additional run time flexibility. Element's proprietary Avidity Sequencing™ chemistry enables exceptional accuracy and cost efficiency that is unmatched by other benchtop systems. Full product features, specifications, and pricing can be found here.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) – As the four districts in Allen County get ready to head back to the classroom, WANE 15 sat down with the superintendents to look ahead to the new year.
Southwest Allen County Schools Superintendent Park Ginder, Ph.D., just finished his first year in that role. The board approved his appointment in June 2021. Ginder started at the district as Homestead High School’s principal in 2013.
Ginder discussed the progress of Homestead’s construction and the referendum renewal that will go before voters in November. It would keep the rate of 15 cents per $100 assessed property value for another eight years. Previous referendums with that same rate were approved in 2009 and 2016. In 2016, though, a $3.5 million cap was put on it. That cap will not be there under this renewal.
The money will allow the district to retain 43 teachers, two guidance counselors and one school resource officer and add 14 more teachers, seven more guidance counselors/social workers, two more school resource officers, a central office administrator, one support staff position and one alternative school counselor.
According to the district, the referendum would cost around half of the voters in the district $9 or less per month. For more on the referendum, click here.
SACS goes back to school on August 10.

Trump says FBI conducting search of Mar-a-Lago estate
Published 6:59 pm Monday, August 8, 2022
WASHINGTON (AP) — Former President Donald Trump said in a lengthy statement Monday that the FBI was conducting a search of his Mar-a-Lago estate and asserted that agents had broken open a safe.
The circumstances of the search were not immediately clear, though the Justice Department has been actively investigating the discovery of classified information in boxes of records that were taken to Trump’s Florida residence after he left the White House.
The action marks a dramatic escalation in law enforcement scrutiny of Trump and comes as he has been laying the groundwork to make another bid for president.
“After working and cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate,” Trump said in his statement.
Justice Department spokesperson Dena Iverson declined to comment on the search, including about whether Attorney General Merrick Garland had personally authorized the search.
The discovery of classified information at Mar-a-Lago was referred to the Justice Department by the National Archives and Records Administration, which said it had found classified material in 15 boxes at the residence.
Federal law bars the removal of classified documents to unauthorized locations, though it is possible that Trump could try to argue that, as president, he was the ultimate declassification authority.
There are multiple statutes governing classified information, including a law punishable by up to five years in prison that makes it a crime to remove such records and retain them at an unauthorized location. Another statute makes it a crime to mishandle classified records either intentionally or in a grossly negligent manner.
A separate investigation related to efforts by Trump and his allies to undo the results of the 2020 presidential election and the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol has also been intensifying in Washington. | https://www.austindailyherald.com/2022/08/trump-says-fbi-conducting-search-of-mar-a-lago-estate/ | 2022-08-09T10:15:33Z | https://www.austindailyherald.com/2022/08/trump-says-fbi-conducting-search-of-mar-a-lago-estate/ | false |

Japanese fashion designer Issey Miyake dies at 84
Issey Miyake was part of a wave of young Japanese designers who made their mark in Paris from the mid-1970s
Japanese fashion designer Issey Miyake, whose global career spanned more than half a century, has died aged 84, an employee at his office in Tokyo told AFP on Tuesday.
"He died on the evening of August 5," she said over the telephone, declining to be named and without giving further details of his death.
Miyake's funeral had already taken place, with "only relatives participating" in line with his wishes, and there were no plans for a public ceremony, she said.
Public broadcaster NHK and other Japanese media reported the news of his death.
Miyake was part of a wave of young Japanese designers who made their mark in Paris from the mid-1970s.
He pioneered high-tech, comfortable clothing, side-stepping the grandiosity of haute couture in favour of what he called simply "making things".
Born in Hiroshima in 1938, Miyake was just seven years old when the United States dropped an atomic bomb on the city in August 1945.
He survived the blast, which killed an estimated 140,000 people on impact and led to the end of World War II after the bombing of Nagasaki three days later.
He established the Miyake Design Studio in Tokyo in 1970, and soon afterwards opened his first Paris boutique.
By the 1980s, his career was in full swing as he experimented with materials from plastic to metal wire and even artisanal Japanese paper. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/afp/article-11094689/Japanese-fashion-designer-Issey-Miyake-dies-84.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-08-09T10:15:49Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/afp/article-11094689/Japanese-fashion-designer-Issey-Miyake-dies-84.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false |
In his first public speech since writing the opinion that overturned Roe v. Wade and eliminated the constitutional right to an abortion, Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. was angry. Speaking recently at a gilded hall in Rome, Alito ridiculed world leaders who criticized his decision. His sardonic broadsides went viral, with legal observers agape at the spectacle of a sitting Supreme Court justice swiping at Justin Trudeau, Boris Johnson and Emmanuel Macron.
Alito’s headline-grabbing attacks crowded out discussion of another important part of his speech: his comments on religion. He bemoaned America’s “increasingly secular society” and its “turn away from” religion. He quoted scripture and, echoing St. Augustine, said “our hearts are restless until we rest in God.”
Alito also suggested two groups — nonbelievers and people who think religion is “just not all that important” — threaten “religious liberty.” These are fighting words that show a fundamental misunderstanding of the Constitution’s commitment to the separation of church and state. But no one should be surprised. These beliefs pervade the Christian Right, and in fact, Alito’s support for them are a reason he became a Supreme Court justice in the first place.
Alito rose to the Supreme Court thanks to luck, loyalty to the legal right and a game of musical chairs. When Justice Sandra Day O’Connor retired in 2005, President George W. Bush first nominated John G. Roberts Jr. to fill her seat. A few weeks later, he named Roberts to fill a new vacancy created by the death of Chief Justice William Rehnquist, and slotted his White House counsel, Harriet Miers, to fill O’Connor’s seat.
The religious right immediately recoiled at Miers. Some raised concrete objections. She had previously donated to conservative Democrats. Worse, social conservatives saw her answers to an election questionnaire in 1989 as insufficiently opposed to LGBTQ rights. Others fretted that she lacked the verve, ideology and chops to challenge the left — especially when the appointed hour came to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Some of this speculation was baseless; Miers had been a member of Texas Right to Life and led a charge to remove a bar association’s support for abortion rights in the mid-1990s. But Miers didn’t have an extensive paper trail on the issue, and she gave cagey and confusing answers when pressed by Republican senators about whether she believed in a constitutional right to privacy.
The right revolted over her nomination, going so far as to buy television commercials clamoring for a more conservative pick. Their mutiny, along with Miers’s uneven performance as she courted senators, made continuing with the nomination untenable for Bush and forced Miers to withdraw.
But the initial choice unnerved the President’s supporters, who began to question whether Bush was truly committed to using courts to achieve sweeping right-wing social policy.
In a bid to appease them, Bush then nominated Alito, a stalwart conservative whom the right trusted to remake America’s highest court. Alito had spent his life in the trenches of the conservative legal movement. Alito went to law school, in his telling, because he disagreed with Warren Court decisions about the separation of church and state and the rights of criminal defendants and voters. As a federal appellate judge, he consistently ruled against some (prisoners, death row inmates and victims of discrimination seeking redress in courts) and consistently for others (police, corporations and Christians).
Crucially, he passed the right’s anti-Roe litmus test with flying colors. In fact, as a Department of Justice lawyer in the 1980s, he helped craft a legal strategy to undermine the constitutional right to abortion. And as a lower court judge in 1991, he famously wrote a solo-dissent arguing that a state law requiring women to notify their husbands before obtaining an abortion did not unduly burden their privacy rights, a view later rejected by the Supreme Court.
The justice he would ultimately replace, Justice O’Connor, rebuked Alito’s extreme position, noting with two other justices that “a state may not give to a man the kind of dominion over his wife that parents exercise over their children.” To the religious right, Alito’s position on marital dominion was a virtue, not a vice, and they quickly mobilized to get him confirmed.
Nothing illustrated their commitment to Alito quite like the national telecast held on the eve of his confirmation hearing in January 2006. It was the third installment of a series called “Justice Sunday” intended to boost support for President Bush’s judicial nominees. Broadcast on Christian radio and television and beamed into churches all across America, this pro-Alito production had the potential to reach over 80 million households. The speakers were a who’s who of the religious right: televangelists, politicians, fundamentalist pastors, avowed Christian nationalists, conservative legal movement tacticians and right-wing gadflies.
To muster support for Alito’s nomination, Justice Sunday orators flirted with calls for the United States to become a theocracy and posited that Christianity should occupy a place of primacy in American life. Don Feder, the president of an organization called “Jews Against anti-Christian Defamation,” told Justice Sunday viewers point blank that America’s Constitution was made for government by Christians.
Rev. Jerry Falwell claimed in his address that there had been a “terrible move toward secularization in our county” that Alito could help staunch. “Let’s confirm this man, Judge Alito, to the U.S. Supreme Court, and let’s make one more step toward bringing America back to one nation under God,” he said. Name checking Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas, Falwell proclaimed that Alito would be part of a Godly “reconstruction of a court system gone awry.”
Speaker after speaker argued liberals persecuted American Christians, pointing to federal court decisions preventing Christians from using the government to promote their faith. And Sen. Rick Santorum (R-P. A.) told the Justice Sunday crowd that Alito would stand athwart to “extreme liberal judges” who were “destroying traditional morality, creating a new moral code which prohibits any dissent.”
After the Senate confirmed his nomination, Alito wrote an unusual thank you note to James Dobson, a key figure in the Christian right who spoke at Justice Sunday. “This is just a short note to express my heartfelt thanks to you and the entire staff at Focus on the Family for your help and support during the past few, challenging months,” the freshly-seated justice wrote. “As long as I serve on the Supreme Court, I will keep in mind the trust that has been placed in me.”
He has stayed true to that promise. The Justice Sunday speakers stewed in grievance and victimhood, conflating the loss of Christian cultural power with oppression. This thinking infused Alito’s recent speech in Rome. Echoing Santorum, he condemned the “growing hostility to religion, or at least the traditional religious beliefs that are contrary to the new moral code that is ascendant in some sectors.” And he suggested Christianity should be treated with special concern and regard in Western society, recounting his horror over seeing a young boy at a Berlin museum who couldn’t identify Christian iconography.
This thinking also permeates Alito’s jurisprudence. In 2015, for example, he argued in dissent that the Supreme Court’s decision-making same-sex marriage a right would be used to “vilify Americans who are unwilling to assent to the new orthodoxy.” Equal constitutional rights would be “exploited by those who are determined to stamp out every vestige of dissent” and cause the “marginalization of the many Americans who have traditional ideas” about the subjugation of LGBTQ people.
He has almost reflexively voted to erode the separation of church and state, undermine LGBTQ rights and dole out new privileges for Christians to free them from complying with secular laws. Perhaps most consequentially, he penned the theologically-inspired opinion overturning Roe that has led scores of states to ban abortion on religious grounds.
Justice Alito refracts his jurisprudence through the stained glass of the Christian right and its resentments, and he relishes being a combatant in the culture war. His Rome speech shows that he’s not stopping anytime soon. | https://www.washingtonpost.com/made-by-history/2022/08/09/justice-alito-is-living-up-promises-supporters-his-nomination/ | 2022-08-09T10:16:04Z | https://www.washingtonpost.com/made-by-history/2022/08/09/justice-alito-is-living-up-promises-supporters-his-nomination/ | true |
UPDATE 1-Issey Miyake, Japan's prince of pleats, dies of cancer aged 84 - media
By Elaine Lies
TOKYO, Aug 9 (Reuters) - Japanese designer Issey Miyake, famed for his pleated style of clothing that never wrinkles and who produced the signature black turtleneck of friend and Apple Inc founder Steve Jobs, has died, media said on Tuesday. He was 84.
Miyake, whose name became a byword for Japan's economic and fashion prowess in the 1980s, died on Aug. 5 of liver cancer, Kyodo news agency said. No further details were immediately available.
Known for his practicality, Miyake is said to have wanted to become either a dancer or an athlete before reading his sister's fashion magazines inspired him to change direction - with those original interests believed to be behind the freedom of movement his clothing permits.
Miyake was born in Hiroshima and was seven years old when the atomic bomb was dropped on the city while he was in a classroom. He was reluctant to speak of the event in later life. In 2009, writing in the New York Times as part of a campaign to get then-U.S. President Barack Obama to visit the city, he said he did not want to be labelled as "the designer who survived" the bomb.
"When I close my eyes, I still see things no one should ever experience," he wrote, adding that within three years, his mother died of radiation exposure.
"I have tried, albeit unsuccessfully, to put them behind me, preferring to think of things that can be created, not destroyed, and that bring beauty and joy. I gravitated toward the field of clothing design, partly because it is a creative format that is modern and optimistic."
After studying graphic design at a Tokyo art university, he learnt clothing design in Paris, where he worked with famed fashion designers Guy Laroche and Hubert de Givenchy, before heading to New York. In 1970 he returned to Tokyo and founded the Miyake Design Studio.
In the late 1980s, he developed a new way of pleating by wrapping fabrics between layers of paper and putting them into a heat press, with the garments holding their pleated shape. Tested for their freedom of movement on dancers, this led to the development of his signature "Pleats, Please" line.
Eventually he developed more than a dozen fashion lines ranging from his main Issey Miyake for men and women to bags, watches and fragrances before essentially retiring in 1997 to devote himself to research.
In 2016, when asked what he thought were the challenges facing future designers, he indicated to the UK's Guardian newspaper that people were likely to be consuming less.
"We may have to go through a thinning process. This is important," he was quoted as saying.
"In Paris, we call the people who make clothing couturiers - they develop new clothing items - but actually the work of designing is to make something that works in real life."

Japanese fashion designer Issey Miyake known for producing Steve Jobs' turtlenecks dies at 84
Issey Miyake is said to have wanted to become either a dancer or an athlete. However, reading his sister's fashion magazines inspired him to change direction.
Tuesday 9 August 2022 11:14, UK
Japanese fashion designer Issey Miyake has died aged 84, local media has said.
Miyake died of liver cancer last Friday, the Kyodo news agency reported.
Best known for producing the signature black turtleneck of his friend and Apple founder Steve Jobs, Miyake is said to have wanted to become either a dancer or an athlete.
However, reading his sister's fashion magazines inspired him to change direction.
He shot to fame with his designs incorporating cutting-edge silhouettes and pleated fabrics in a career spanning more than half a century.
Born in Hiroshima in 1938, Miyake was seven years old when the US dropped an atomic bomb on the city in August 1945, during the Second World War.
He was in a school classroom at the time and survived the bombing.
Miyake was reluctant to speak of the event until later in life.
In a July 2009 New York Times opinion piece, as part of a campaign to get then-US President Barack Obama to visit the city, he wrote: "When I close my eyes, I still see things no one should ever experience: a bright red light, the black cloud soon after, people running in every direction trying desperately to escape - I remember it all.
"Within three years, my mother died from radiation exposure."
Since his experiences that day, he said he preferred to "think of things that can be created, not destroyed, and that bring beauty and joy".
"I gravitated toward the field of clothing design, partly because it is a creative format that is modern and optimistic."
He said he did not want to be labelled as "the designer who survived the atomic bomb".
Miyake studied graphic design at a Tokyo art university and went on to learn clothing design in Paris, where he worked with famed fashion designers Guy Laroche and Hubert de Givenchy, before heading to New York.
He returned to Tokyo in 1970 and founded the Miyake Design Studio.
His creations expanded to include bags, watches and fragrances before he essentially retired in 1997 to devote himself to research. | https://news.sky.com/story/japanese-fashion-designer-issey-miyake-known-for-producing-steve-jobs-turtlenecks-dies-at-84-12668952 | 2022-08-09T10:24:56Z | https://news.sky.com/story/japanese-fashion-designer-issey-miyake-known-for-producing-steve-jobs-turtlenecks-dies-at-84-12668952 | false |
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio man is in custody after being accused of sending about three-dozen feces-filled letters to lawmakers around the country, including Ohio’s 25 Republican state senators in early July.
Police arrested Richard Steinle, a 77-year-old from Mogadore, Ohio, and former Portage County Common Pleas Court mediator on Friday. Steinle is charged with sending “injurious articles as nonmailable,” violating a federal law that prohibits mailing certain things, including hazardous material, according to court records.
The misdemeanor charge carries a maximum prison sentence of one year and a $100,000 fine. A message seeking comment was left with Steinle’s lawyer.
The feces mailed in early July prompted an investigation by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, but investigators said Steinle has been sending such letters since August 2021 to elected officials in Washington D.C., Kentucky, California and Ohio.
Mailroom employees in the Ohio Statehouse and post offices in Cleveland and Akron intercepted the 25 letters, which never made it to their intended recipients. The return addresses on the letters were deemed fake. Some letters contained words such as “pig” and “racist” on them, according to court records.
In late July, investigators for the U.S. Postal Inspection service conducted surveillance on Steinle’s home after a tip from another court employee that Steinle might be involved in sending the letters. Investigators witnessed Steinle mailing a letter while wearing a glove and after retrieving the letter, determined it to be contaminated with feces. The letter was addressed to Republican U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan, according to court records.
A message was left with the U.S. Postal Inspection Service seeking comment. It is not clear if the feces were human or animal.
Senate GOP spokesperson John Fortney called the incident in early July “outrageous” and a serious health risk.
“This type of biohazard attack doesn’t just stop with the people it’s directed towards,” Fortney said. “This is something that could potentially affect every single employee at the Ohio Statehouse, regardless of their political affiliation.”
Steinle was released on a $20,000 unsecured bond and his next hearing is set for Aug. 25.

High project costs are one of the primary obstacles to the successful scaleup of CCUS capacity
BOULDER, Colo., Aug. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A new report from Guidehouse Insights analyzes the global market for Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Sequestration (CCUS). The capacity and spending estimates in the report are segmented by region and carbon capture technology stage, and span from 2022-2031. Capture costs by point source types are also charted. The report utilizes Guidehouse Insights' forthcoming Global CCUS Project Tracker.
CCUS has increasingly been recognized as an essential component of decarbonization strategies including all pathways outlined by the United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. According to a new report from Guidehouse Insights, global CCUS capacity is expected to grow at a CAGR of 37.3%, from 46.5 Mtpa in 2022 to 804.2 Mtpa in 2031.
"In heavy-emitting industries that are difficult to decarbonize, such as cement making and steel making, CCUS stands out as one of the only viable options to mitigate emissions," says Peter Marrin, senior research analyst with Guidehouse Insights. "While learning rates have cut costs since the first CCUS project went online 50 years ago, a much steadier and more robust queue of projects is needed for economies of scale to further reduce expenses."
However, existing capacity, announced new projects, and investment spending in recent years have been far less than what is needed for the rapid global deployment of CCUS capacity that is necessary to achieve net-zero global carbon dioxide emissions by 2050. High project costs predominantly stem from expensive carbon dioxide capture equipment and are one of the primary obstacles to the successful scaleup of CCUS capacity. In the meantime, several companies—many from the oil & gas industry—have partnered in recent years to share knowledge and explore opportunities in CCUS. These relationships, along with dozens of proposed CCUS hubs around the world, could cut costs further, according to the report.
The report, Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Sequestration, provides capacity and spending estimates for four carbon capture technology stages: pre-combustion, post-combustion, oxy-fuel combustion, and direct air capture. An outlook is provided for major global regions and cover 2022-2031. An executive summary of the report is available for free download on the Guidehouse Insights website.

Trump posts campaign ad-style video to Truth Social following FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago
Donald Trump's campaign ad-style video is just the latest hint that the former president may be building up to a run for the White House in 2024
Former President Trump posted a campaign ad-style video on his social media platform Truth Social early Tuesday morning - hours after his Mar-a-Lago estate was raided by FBI agents in Palm Beach, Florida.
The 3-minutes, 50-seconds-long video was uploaded in the wake of federal agents executing a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago. Multiple sources tell Fox News the FBI's raid of Mar-a-Lago is related to the materials Trump allegedly brought to his private residence after his presidency concluded. That matter was referred to the Justice Department by the National Archives and Records Administration, which said it found classified material in 15 boxes at the residence.
The video begins with Trump painting America as "a nation in decline" and discussing a myriad of issues ranging from fallout from the withdrawal of Afghanistan to skyrocketing energy prices. It begins in black and white with the sound of an ominous thunderstorm in the background.
"We are a nation that allowed Russia to devastate a country, Ukraine, killing hundreds of thousands of people, and it will only get worse.," Trump narrates. "We are a nation that has weaponized its law enforcement against the opposing political party like never before."
TRUMP SAYS MAR-A-LAGO HOME IN FLORIDA 'UNDER SIEGE' BY FBI AGENTS
The former president also implicitly criticized President Biden for distancing himself from Trump's American First foreign policies.
"We are a nation that is allowing Iran to build a massive nuclear weapon and China to use the trillions and trillions of dollars it's taken from the United States to build a military to rival our own," Trump laments in the video. "We are a nation that over the past two years is no longer respected or listened to all around the world."
Trump says that America, in many ways, has become a "joke." The video takes a more uplifting turn as it goes from black and white to color. Trump says it is "hard-working patriots" who will save America.
"There is no mountain we cannot climb, there is no summit we cannot reach, there is no challenge we cannot meet," the former president says as swelling orchestral music plays behind him. "We will not bend, we will not break, we will not yield."
HUGH HEWITT ON RAID OF FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP'S HOME: A 'BLOCKBUSTER' MOMENT
"The tyrants we are fighting do not stand even a little chance because we are Americans and Americans kneel to God and God alone," Trump urges the viewers. "And it is time to start talking about greatness for our country again."
The video concluded with a quote reading: "…the best is yet to come."
The emotion-packed video is just the latest of many presidential run hints that the former president has teased in recent months. President Trump's son Eric dropped a reference to his father running in 2024 on "Hannity" Monday night.

THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Aug. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Huntsman Corporation (NYSE: HUN) today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Textile Effects division to Archroma, a portfolio company of SK Capital Partners. The total enterprise value of the transaction is approximately $718 million, which includes the assumption of approximately $125 million in net underfunded pension liabilities as of December 31, 2021. The acquisition is being partially funded with preferred equity, of which Huntsman is taking up to $80 million, an amount SK Capital Partners will seek to syndicate prior to the transaction closing.
Over the last twelve months ending June 30, 2022, the Textile Effects division reported sales of $772 million and adjusted EBITDA of $94 million. Huntsman anticipates cash taxes on the transaction of approximately $50 million. Huntsman intends to report Textile Effects as discontinued operations beginning in the third quarter of 2022. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the first half of 2023.
Peter Huntsman, Chairman, President, and CEO commented:
"Over the past seven months, we have conducted a comprehensive strategic review of our Textile Effects division, including detailed discussions with a wide range of relevant parties. After evaluating several different options and thoroughly reviewing prospective offers for the business, our Board of Directors decided that SK Capital would be a better owner of the business over the long-term than Huntsman and that the value they offered was in the best interests of our shareholders. After closing, Textile Effects will combine with SK Capital's Archroma business to create a world leader in textile chemicals and dyes, with a leadership in sustainability and innovation.
"We expect the cash proceeds from this divestiture to be deployed in-line with our current balanced capital allocation program which includes strategic investments and acquisitions to further strengthen our core businesses as well as returning cash to shareholders through both our dividend and share repurchase program."
BofA Securities is serving as Huntsman's financial advisor and Kirkland & Ellis LLP is acting as its legal advisor.

High project costs are one of the primary obstacles to the successful scaleup of CCUS capacity
BOULDER, Colo., Aug. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A new report from Guidehouse Insights analyzes the global market for Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Sequestration (CCUS). The capacity and spending estimates in the report are segmented by region and carbon capture technology stage, and span from 2022-2031. Capture costs by point source types are also charted. The report utilizes Guidehouse Insights' forthcoming Global CCUS Project Tracker.
CCUS has increasingly been recognized as an essential component of decarbonization strategies including all pathways outlined by the United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. According to a new report from Guidehouse Insights, global CCUS capacity is expected to grow at a CAGR of 37.3%, from 46.5 Mtpa in 2022 to 804.2 Mtpa in 2031.
"In heavy-emitting industries that are difficult to decarbonize, such as cement making and steel making, CCUS stands out as one of the only viable options to mitigate emissions," says Peter Marrin, senior research analyst with Guidehouse Insights. "While learning rates have cut costs since the first CCUS project went online 50 years ago, a much steadier and more robust queue of projects is needed for economies of scale to further reduce expenses."
However, existing capacity, announced new projects, and investment spending in recent years have been far less than what is needed for the rapid global deployment of CCUS capacity that is necessary to achieve net-zero global carbon dioxide emissions by 2050. High project costs predominantly stem from expensive carbon dioxide capture equipment and are one of the primary obstacles to the successful scaleup of CCUS capacity. In the meantime, several companies—many from the oil & gas industry—have partnered in recent years to share knowledge and explore opportunities in CCUS. These relationships, along with dozens of proposed CCUS hubs around the world, could cut costs further, according to the report.
The report, Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Sequestration, provides capacity and spending estimates for four carbon capture technology stages: pre-combustion, post-combustion, oxy-fuel combustion, and direct air capture. An outlook is provided for major global regions and cover 2022-2031. An executive summary of the report is available for free download on the Guidehouse Insights website.

Former stripper says it's 'patronising' to women to ban clubs while author claims it will stop exploitation in heated GMB debate after Edinburgh's 'nil cap' on strip joints
- Stacey Clare said nil-cap policy on strip clubs will make the industry unsafe
- Former councillor Susan Dalgety argued that the move will help 'protect woman'
- The pair debated the nil-cap policy in Edinburgh on Good Morning Britain
Two campaigners have clashed over whether strip clubs should be banned to protect women in a heated Good Morning Britain debate.
Edinburgh Council has brought in a nil-cap policy on strip clubs limiting the number of establishments in the capital and effectively forcing its clubs to close from April next year.
Stripper turned author Stacey Clare spoke to Charlotte Hawkins and Richard Madeley to explain that the move will make the industry 'unsafe' because it will be 'forced underground'.
But former Edinburgh councillor Susan Dalgety argued that the move will help 'protect woman', saying that 'sex work is the exploitation of women and young girls.’
Stacey called the move 'patronising' and said strippers deserve the same rights as any other worker.
She said: 'The fact is woman do sex work, people do sex work, and the real conversation should be, as far as I am concerned about safety.'
'We have to have regulated work places, we need to recognise that our jobs are jobs and we are workers, and we are entitled to workers' rights. '
She continued: 'I don't understand the logic. How are we being protected by saying keep your clothes on? It feels very patronising to sort of say, just cover up and everything will be fine.'
Susan, who now works as a Journalist, supports the ban and said she doesn’t want woman to feel 'forced into stripping off'.
While former Edinburgh councillor Susan Dalgety argued that the move will help 'protect woman' as she claims 'sex work is the exploitation of women and young girls'
She said: 'The majority of the sex industry is underground, so I think it's important that we build a society were young woman and girls feel that they are not forced into sexual exploitation, which is lap dancing, it's sexual entertainment, it's living pornography, it's for the titillation of men.'
She continued: 'This morning thousands of young woman got their exam results in Scotland, I want a country were those young woman aspire to be the best they can be and don't feel that they are forced into that work.'
Went asked by host Richard if she felt sexually exploited or forced into the job, Stacey said: ' No I didn't, I think unfortunately the feminist perceptive tends to conflate things and say all of it's the same.'
She continued: 'Coercion and things like trafficking, that's violence against woman, but stripping, I have never seen any evidence of trafficking when I worked in the industry, It's just not the same thing. '
Former stripper Stacey Clare explained on Good Morning Britain that a nil-cap policy on strip clubs in Edinburgh will make the industry 'unsafe' as it will be 'forced underground'
'What we are trying to do with the sex workers union is empower workers who are able to bring claims against abusive bosses and it's working we have had successful claims since 2018.'
'We're not solving any problems by shutting it down, we are driving it underground.'
Adding: 'Underground, you create a black market, that is the most dangerous , coercive market there is.'
Susan disagreed saying: 'I genuinely believe what we should be doing is ending demand, we should make it illegal for men to procure sexual entertainment, because no matter which way you cut it sexual entertainment by woman and girls is exploitative, because woman are using their bodies to titillate men for money.'
Author Stacey called the move 'patronising' and said strippers deserve the same rights as any other worker
The women debated on Good Morning Britain as they spoke to hosts Charlotte Hawkins and Richard Madeley
The number of strip clubs in England and Wales has dropped from 350 to 150 in the last ten years.
Bristol City councillors recently voted decisively to keep strip clubs open in the city after six years of debate on the issue.
The decision by the licensing committee came after years of organising and campaigning on the part of Bristol Sex Workers Collective to keep their workplaces open, and by groups such as Bristol Women’s Commission to shut them down.
The Collective made the case that banning the clubs would make many women unemployed, forcing them into more dangerous sex work in less well-regulated spaces. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-11094539/Stripper-author-debate-Edinburgh-ban-strip-clubs.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-08-09T10:37:14Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-11094539/Stripper-author-debate-Edinburgh-ban-strip-clubs.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true |
Woman, 30, who shaved her face twice a day since the age of 13 says embracing a full beard has made her feel sexier than ever
- Performer Dakota Cooke, 30, from Las Vegas, began growing facial hair aged 13
- Used to wax it monthly before she learned to accept the hair and grew a beard
- Dakota claims she now feels more attractive with a beard after years of anxiety
A non-binary performer feels sexier than ever after ditching the razor and embracing her beard.
Dakota Cooke, 30, who uses both she and they pronouns, first noticed abnormal hair growth on her face at the age of 13, and spent years having weekly waxing appointments to shaving her face twice a day.
The sideshow performer, from Las Vegas, felt judged and uncomfortable about her hair growth and found herself sinking into a ten-year spiral of anxiety and discomfort.
Despite going for several tests, it's unclear what caused Dakota's facial hair, but medics believe it' could be due to her adrenal glands producing elevated levels of testosterone.
But now she's using her role in the sideshow, as well as social media to spread positivity about being a woman with facial hair.
Dakota Cooke, 30, from Las Vegas, decided to embrace her facial hair and to grow a beard after years struggling with her hairy chin
The sideshow performer said she feels sexier and more confident thanks to the beard after decades of feeling self-conscious
She said: 'When I hit puberty at 13, I guess I got hit with a little bit extra.
'It started out with peach fuzz on my face that started to get longer and dark.
'A friend of the family pointed it out at the time, so my step dad took me to the doctors to do tests, and then took me to the hair salon where I had my first ever wax.
'It was super uncomfortable, and at the time, I was just about learning how to shave my legs.
Dakota explained her peach fuzz began to develop after she hit puberty and turned darker and longer. She used to shave her face, pictured
'I grew up in a period where women with facial hair was so stigmatized that the women at the salon were telling me how girls aren't supposed to grow facial hair.
'I guess that stuck with me, because for the next ten years, I kind of just sunk into this shame spiral where I'd try and hide my face in photos and be attending waxing sessions every week.
'It got to a point, when I worked one of my first jobs in retail, that I was shaving my face twice a day, once in the morning and then on my break because the hairs were just so visible, and I was working in the makeup department where it wasn't acceptable to be anything other than a stereotypical woman.
After talking with a friend at at party in 2015, Dakota decided to grow her beard and to become a sideshow performer
The performer went from a stumble to a full beard after deciding to stop shaving and waxing her hair
Dakota revealed she has embraced herself and started filming her life for TikTok. She added her family is supportive as well
'I'd be covering the shaving scars and rash with makeup and my face would just be so irritated and red all of the time.
'I've probably still got some of those shaving scars to this day.'
It wasn't until 2015, that Dakota finally decided that she should just embrace the facial hair after a friend suggested she should just give it a go.
Dakota adds: 'I was at a party with my friend, Sunshine, 35, and she was telling me all of these wonderful stories about what it was like working at the circus, and I just loved the idea of it all.
'I said to her "I wish I could just grow out my beard and join you", to which she responded, "why don't you?"
Dakota's facial hair did not start to grow until she reached 13. Pictured as a child, left. In her 20s, she used to hide it with makeup
The performer admitted her facial hair caused her years of anxiety due to people staring at her, but eventually she decided to not care
'That was really the catalyst that began my journey to loving myself and my beard.
'Growing my beard out was quite uncomfortable at first, it took a lot of effort not to just cut and shave it off again.
'I remember the first time someone tried to take a picture of me after I'd had my first inch of growth, and I got plenty of stares.
'I had a lot of anxiety about the staring at first, but it got to a point where I just decided not to care anymore.'
Despite the difficulties she faced whilst embracing her facial hair growth, Dakota came out the other side bursting with positivity.
She said: 'I now market myself as Dakota the bearded lady, and it really comes into my act at the sideshow where I also do things like hammering nails into my nose or walking on glass.
'My family and friends have been super supportive throughout my journey of self-acceptance and have even bought me a "don't f*** with the bearded lady" sign which I love.
'My followers on TikTok have also been amazing, and I love answering their questions, as well as receiving words of support.
'I even got complimented by one of my absolute heroes John Waters, after I visited him at a book signing in full makeup, feminine attire, and a full beard.
'He told me that he loved my look and that I needed to do advert campaigns, that my face should be everywhere.
'Even though I am non-binary, I still dress very feminine and love to wear makeup and dresses and skirts.
'Having a beard has never affected me being a femme person, it's just a part of me now, and I love that I've embraced it.'
Dakota, pictured as a teen, left, admitted growing the beard had been 'umcomfortable' and, that it took a lot of effort not to just cut and shave it off again
Dakota has now developed a strong following of fans online, and was once complimented by John Waters

Southampton 'battlefield' site to be turned into car park
- Published
A grassy plain that has been left looking like "a site of a First World War battle" by motorists will now be turned into a car park.
The area, between Crookham Road and Kingsclere Avenue in Southampton, will be made up of 13 spaces.
Residents have been parking their cars on the site despite there being no designated spaces.
There are fears the development will lead to car wars amongst residents and concerns over the loss of greenery.
Lindsay McCulloch, an ecology consultee, expressed her concern over the loss of the green space, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
'Wildflower planting'
She said: "The proposed development will result in the permanent loss of the amenity grassland and compensation in the form of improvements to other areas of verge or amenity grassland should be provided."
In the planning application, the applicant agreed the scheme will contribute towards the implementation of wildflower planting around the verges of the site and wider area to help replace the loss of habitat.
Councillor Sue Blatchford looked at the photographs of the site in its current state and made a historical comparison.
She said: "From the photographic image, [it] looks like a site of a First World War battle because of the loss of grass."
However, despite Ms Blatchford's disapproval of the site's state, she was not fully in support of the development, and spoke of potential car wars amongst the homeowners in the area.
The applicant hopes the plans will reduce inappropriate parking behaviour by providing dedicated and safer spaces for residents.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep. Ilhan Omar, one of the biggest stars of the left, is facing a challenge from the center in her congressional primary in Minnesota on Tuesday, while Vermont Democrats will choose a nominee for an open U.S. House seat who will likely make history as the first woman representing the state in Congress.
Another key race is unfolding in western Wisconsin, where Democratic Rep. Ron Kind ‘s retirement after 26 years in office opens up a House seat in a district that has been trending Republican. Among the candidates running in the Republican primary to replace Kind is a former Navy SEAL who attended the “Stop the Steal” rally in Washington on Jan. 6, 2021, which preceded the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
Minnesota is also holding a special election to fill the remaining months of Republican Rep. Jim Hagedorn ‘s term after his death earlier this year from cancer. And voters will be picking nominees for a full term representing the largely rural, Republican-leaning district.
Some of the top elections:
OMAR FACES PRO-POLICE CHALLENGER
A supporter of the “defund the police” movement, Omar is facing a Democratic primary challenge in Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District from a former Minneapolis City Council member who has made rising crime an issue in the race.
Don Samuels’ north Minneapolis base suffers from more violent crime than other parts of the city, and the moderate Democrat helped defeat a ballot question that sought to replace the city police department with a new public safety unit.
Omar has defended calls to redirect public safety funding more into community-based programs.
Samuels and others also successfully sued the city to force it to meet minimum police staffing levels called for in Minneapolis’ charter. Samuels says Omar, one of the leading voices in the national progressive movement, is divisive. He’s attracted big bucks to his campaign, though Omar as the incumbent has a significant cash advantage.
Omar, who crushed a similar primary challenge two years ago from a well-funded but lesser-known opponent than Samuels, has said she expects to win easily.
Two other members of the progressive Squad in Congress — Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Rep. Cori Bush of Missouri — won their Democratic primaries last week.
SPECIAL ELECTION AND PRIMARY ELECTION IN MINNESOTA
Voters in the 1st Congressional District in southern Minnesota will be weighing in on two races related to the seat.
In the special election, voters will choose between Republican Brad Finstad, who served in the U.S. Department of Agriculture during the Trump administration, and Democrat Jeff Ettinger, a former chief executive at Hormel Foods. Both won a May 24 special primary election for Hagedorn’s seat, and Tuesday’s winner will serve until January.
Finstad and Ettinger are also running in their parties’ primaries for a full term in the district, which includes Rochester and Mankato. Ettinger faces mostly token opposition, but Finstad is expecting a strong challenge from state Rep. Jeremy Munson, whom he just narrowly defeated in the special election primary.
Munson has the support of Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan. He has said he doesn’t think President Joe Biden’s victory was legitimate, despite federal and state election officials, courts and Trump’s own attorney general saying there was no credible evidence the election was tainted.
WISCONSIN: REPLACING RON KIND
Republicans see a pickup opportunity in Wisconsin’s 3rd Congressional District, the seat being vacated by Democratic incumbent Kind.
The district covers a swath of counties along Wisconsin’s western border with Minnesota and includes La Cross and Eau Claire. Republican Derrick Van Orden is running unopposed in his primary Tuesday and has Trump’s endorsement.
Van Orden narrowly lost to Kind in the 2020 general election. He attended Trump’s “Stop the Steal” rally near the White House but has said he never stepped foot on the grounds of the Capitol during the insurrection.
Four Democrats are competing to succeed Kind, including state Sen. Brad Pfaff, who previously worked for the retiring lawmaker and briefly served as state agriculture secretary. Pfaff has Kind’s endorsement.
The others are small-business owner Rebecca Cooke, retired CIA officer Deb McGrath and La Crosse City Council member Mark Neumann.
RARE VERMONT OPEN SENATE SEAT SPARKS HEATED HOUSE PRIMARY
The retirement of Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy, the Senate’s longest-serving member, has opened the door for Vermont to elect its first-ever female member of the state’s congressional delegation.
Rep. Peter Welch, who currently holds Vermont’s lone House seat, is running to replace Leahy. The race to succeed Welch has largely centered around two Democratic women.
Lt. Gov. Molly Gray, a centrist who is a former staffer for Welch and has been backed by Leahy and former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean, is squaring off against Becca Balint, the president pro tempore of the state Senate. Balint has endorsements from progressive leaders, including Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Pramila Jayapal, chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
The winner immediately becomes the favorite in November’s general election — and could shape whether Vermont’s congressional politics going forward is dominated by Leahy’s largely centrist views or the progressive values more closely aligned with Sanders.

Nearly six months later, the number of sites pushing that same content has exploded as Russia found ways to evade the ban. They’ve rebranded their work to disguise it. They’ve shifted some propaganda duties to diplomats. And they’ve cut and pasted much of the content on new websites — ones that until now had no obvious ties to Russia.
NewsGuard, a New York-based firm that studies and tracks online misinformation, has now identified 250 websites actively spreading Russian disinformation about the war, with dozens of new ones added in recent months.
Claims on these sites include allegations that Ukraine’s army has staged some deadly Russian attacks to curry global support, that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is faking public appearances, or that Ukrainian refugees are committing crimes in Germany and Poland.
Some of the sites pose as independent think tanks or news outlets. About half are English-language, while others are in French, German or Italian. Many were set up long before the war and were not obviously tied to the Russian government until they suddenly began parroting Kremlin talking points.
“They may be establishing sleeper sites,” said NewsGuard co-CEO Gordon Crovitz. Sleeper sites are websites created for a disinformation campaign that lay largely dormant, slowly building an audience through innocuous or unrelated posts, and then switching to propaganda or disinformation at an appointed time.
While NewsGuard’s analysis found that much of the disinformation about the war in Ukraine is coming from Russia, it did find instances of false claims with a pro-Ukrainian bent. They included claims about a hotshot fighter ace known as the Ghost of Kyiv that officials later admitted was a myth.
YouTube, TikTok and Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, all pledged to remove RT and Sputnik from their platforms within the European Union. But researchers have found that in some cases all Russia had to do to evade the ban was to post it from a different account.
The Disinformation Situation Center, a Europe-based coalition of disinformation researchers, found that some RT video content was showing up on social media under a new brand name and logo. In the case of some video footage, the RT brand was simply removed from the video and reposted on a new YouTube channel not covered by the EU’s ban.
More aggressive content moderation of social media could make it harder for Russia to circumvent the ban, according to Felix Kartte, a senior adviser at Reset, a U.K.-based nonprofit that has funded the Disinformation Situation Center’s work and is critical of social media’s role in democratic discourse.
“Rather than putting effective content moderation systems in place, they are playing whack-a-mole with the Kremlin’s disinformation apparatus,” Kartte said.
YouTube’s parent company did not immediately respond to questions seeking comment about the ban.
In the EU, officials are trying to shore up their defenses. This spring the EU approved legislation that would require tech companies to do more to root out disinformation. Companies that fail could face big fines.
European Commission Vice President Vera Jourova last month called disinformation “a growing problem in the EU, and we really have to take stronger measures.”
The proliferation of sites spreading disinformation about the war in Ukraine shows that Russia had a plan in case governments or tech companies tried to restrict RT and Sputnik. That means Western leaders and tech companies will have to do more than shutter one or two websites if they hope to stop the flow of Kremlin disinformation.
“The Russians are a lot smarter,” said NewsGuard’s other co-CEO, Steven Brill. | https://phl17.com/national-news/russian-disinformation-spreading-in-new-ways-despite-bans/ | 2022-08-09T10:44:26Z | https://phl17.com/national-news/russian-disinformation-spreading-in-new-ways-despite-bans/ | true |

‘I didn’t really learn anything’: COVID grads face college
(AP) - Angel Hope looked at the math test and felt lost. He had just graduated near the top of his high school class, winning scholarships from prestigious colleges. But on this test — a University of Wisconsin exam that measures what new students learned in high school — all he could do was guess.
It was like the disruption of the pandemic was catching up to him all at once.
Nearly a third of Hope’s high school career was spent at home, in virtual classes that were hard to follow and easy to brush aside. Some days he skipped school to work extra hours at his job. Some days he played games with his brother and sister. Other days he just stayed in bed.
Algebra got little of his attention, but his teachers kept giving him good grades amid a school-wide push for leniency.
“It was like school was optional. It wasn’t a mandatory thing,” said Hope, 18, of Milwaukee. “I feel like I didn’t really learn anything.”
Across the country, there are countless others like him. Hundreds of thousands of recent graduates are heading to college this fall after spending more than half their high school careers dealing with the upheaval of a pandemic. They endured a jarring transition to online learning, the strains from teacher shortages and profound disruptions to their home lives. And many are believed to be significantly behind academically.
Colleges could see a surge in students unprepared for the demands of college-level work, education experts say. Starting a step behind can raise the risk of dropping out. And that can hurt everything from a person’s long-term earnings to the health of the country’s workforce.
The extent of the problem became apparent to Allison Wagner as she reviewed applications for All-In Milwaukee, a scholarship program that provides financial aid and college counseling to low-income students, including Hope.
Wagner, the group’s executive director, saw startling numbers of students who were granted permission to spend half the school day working part-time jobs their senior year, often at fast food chains or groceries. And she saw more students than ever who didn’t take math or science classes their senior year, often as a result of teacher shortages.
“We have so many students who are going on to college academically malnourished,” Wagner said. “There is no way they are going to be academically prepared for the rigor of college.”
Her group is boosting its tutoring budget and covering tuition for students in the program who take summer classes in math or science. Still, she fears the setbacks will force some students to take more than four years to graduate or, worse, drop out.
“The stakes are tremendously high,” she said.
Researchers say it’s clear that remote instruction caused learning setbacks, most sharply among Black and Hispanic students. For younger students, there’s still hope that America’s schools can accelerate the pace of instruction and close learning gaps. But for those who graduated in the last two years, experts fear many will struggle.
In anticipation of higher needs, colleges from New Jersey to California have been expanding “bridge” programs that provide summer classes, often for students from lower incomes or those who are the first in their families to attend college. Programs previously treated as orientation are taking on a harder academic edge, with a focus on math, science and study skills.
In Hanceville, Alabama, Wallace State Community College this year tapped state money to create its first summer bridge program as it braces for an influx of underprepared students. Students could take three weeks of accelerated lessons in math and English in a bid to avoid remedial classes.
The school hoped to bring up to 140 students to campus, but just 10 signed up.
Other states have used federal pandemic relief to help colleges build summer programs. In Kentucky, which gave colleges $3.5 million for the effort this year, officials called it a “moral imperative.”
“We need these people to be our future workforce, and we need them to be successful,” said Amanda Ellis, a vice president of Kentucky’s Council on Postsecondary Education.
After the pandemic hit, Angel Hope worked up to 20 hours a week at his job with a local nonprofit aid group. He felt the time away from school was worth it for the money, especially when nobody was paying attention in the online classes. With his parents away at work, he often felt alone, shunning social media for days and eating ramen noodles for dinner.
“I think isolating myself was a little bit of my coping mechanism,” he said. “I was kind of like, ‘Keep it in a little bit and you’ll get through it eventually.’”
The pandemic led many high schoolers to disengage at a time when they would usually be preparing for college or careers, said Rey Saldaña, president and CEO of Communities in Schools, a nonprofit group that places counselors in public schools in 26 states.
His group worked in some districts where hundreds of students simply didn’t return after classrooms reopened. In Charlotte, North Carolina, the allure of steady paychecks kept many students away from school even after in-person classes resumed, said Shakaka Perry, a reengagement coordinator for Communities in Schools.
Perry and her colleagues spent last school year bringing students back to school and getting them ready for graduation. But when she thinks about whether they’re ready for college, she has doubts: “It’s going to be an awakening.”
A couple months after struggling through his math placement test, Hope headed to the University of Wisconsin-Madison, for six weeks of intense classes at a summer bridge program. He took a math class that covered the ground he missed in high school, and he’s signed up to take calculus in the fall.
He also revived basic study skills that went dormant in high school. He started studying at the library. He got used to the rhythms of school, with assignments every day and tests every other week. He rediscovered what it’s like to enjoy school.
Most importantly, he says it changed his mindset: Now he feels like he’s there to learn, not just to get by.
“After this, I definitely feel prepared for college,” he said. “If I didn’t have this, I would be in a very bad place.”

Strengthens leadership in Bridal and Accessible Luxury Accelerates Connected Commerce capabilities and Digital reach
HAMILTON, Bermuda, Aug. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Signet Jewelers Limited ("Signet" or the "Company") (NYSE: SIG), the world's leading retailer of diamond jewelry, today announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Blue Nile, Inc. ("Blue Nile"), a leading online retailer of engagement rings and fine jewelry, for $360 million in an all cash transaction. Blue Nile delivered revenue of more than $500 million in calendar year 2021.
The strategic acquisition of Blue Nile accelerates Signet's efforts to expand its bridal offerings and grow its Accessible Luxury portfolio while extending its digital leadership in the jewelry category – all to further enhance shopping experiences for consumers and create value for shareholders. Blue Nile brings an attractive customer demographic that is younger, more affluent, and ethnically diverse which will broaden our customer acquisition funnel. Upon closing, Blue Nile will be strategically positioned at the top tier of Signet's Accessible Luxury banners along with Jared, James Allen and Diamonds Direct.
"Blue Nile is a pioneer and innovator in online engagement rings and fine jewelry, providing a unique and highly desirable shopping experience for customers," said Signet Chief Executive Officer Virginia C. Drosos. "Adding Blue Nile to our strong and diversified portfolio of banners will further drive our Inspiring Brilliance growth strategy - expanding customer choice, building new capabilities, and achieving meaningful operating synergies that will increase value for both our consumers and shareholders."
"By joining Signet, we will extend our premium brand and fine jewelry offering to millions of new customers while bringing new capabilities to our leading e-commerce business that will drive additional growth opportunities for Blue Nile," said Sean Kell, CEO of Blue Nile. "We're equally thrilled to join a purpose-inspired and sustainability-focused company that shares our core values and has been recognized as a certified Great Place to Work®."
The transaction will be funded with cash on hand and is currently expected to close in the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2023. Regulatory filings were made in July and the applicable waiting period has passed however the transaction is still subject to other customary closing conditions. While synergies are likely to start materializing as early as the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2023, the acquisition, will likely not be accretive until Q4 of Fiscal 2024, exclusive of transaction and integration-related charges, as well as anticipated impacts of purchase accounting adjustments related to the transaction.
Separately, the Company is updating its guidance for the second quarter and full year Fiscal 2023 given heightened pressure on consumers' discretionary spending and increased macroeconomic headwinds. Preliminary second quarter total revenue is expected to be approximately $1.75 billion and non-GAAP operating income is expected to be approximately $192 million. The Company now expects Fiscal 2023 total revenues of $7.60 – 7.70 billion and non-GAAP operating income to be in the range of $787-828 million. This compares with prior Fiscal 2023 guidance for total revenue of $8.03-8.25 billion and non-GAAP operating income of $921-974 million. This revised Fiscal Year 2023 outlook does not include 1) further material worsening of macroeconomic factors which could impact consumer spending patterns and have an associated impact on the Company's business performance, or 2) the pending acquisition of Blue Nile.
Drosos continued, "We saw sales soften in July as our customers have been increasingly impacted by rapid inflation, so we're revising guidance to align with these trends. That said, I'm pleased that revised guidance positions us up ~25% in revenue versus the FY20 pre-pandemic period. In addition, our transformed operating model and strong balance sheet give us dry powder, even in a down market, to invest in market share expansion as we are doing organically in our banners and with the acquisition of Blue Nile. We believe this acquisition brings additional value, capabilities, and further growth potential to our Company."
"While our initial guidance for FY23 anticipated the impact of stimulus in the base period and the level of inflation that we were seeing at that time, we have seen a further deterioration in consumer spending, including at higher price points, in July," said Joan Hilson, Chief Financial and Strategy Officer. "Assuming this trend will persist in the back half of the year, we are modestly reducing our FY23 guidance. Importantly, our outlook continues to reflect a double digit annual operating margin based on the strength of our transformed business model."
Forecasted non-GAAP operating income provided above excludes potential non-recurring charges. However, given the potential impact of non-recurring charges to operating income calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the US ("GAAP"), we cannot provide forecasted GAAP operating income or the probable significance of such items without unreasonable efforts. As such, we do not present a reconciliation of forecasted non-GAAP operating income to corresponding GAAP operating income.
In addition to financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company believes that non-GAAP financial measures, when reviewed in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, can provide more information to assist investors in evaluating historical trends and current period performance. For these reasons, internal management reporting and the Company's guidance includes non-GAAP measures. Items may be excluded from GAAP financial measures when the Company believes this provides useful supplementary information to management and investors in assessing the operating performance of our business. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not superior to or as a substitute for the GAAP financial measures presented in the Company's consolidated financial statements and other publicly filed reports. In addition, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as or comparable to similar non-GAAP measures presented by other companies.

'I now start my own battle with this disease': Ex-EastEnders star Samantha Womack reveals she has breast cancer as she pays tribute to the late Olivia Newton-John
- The EastEnders legend, 49, revealed she is battling breast cancer after Olivia succumbed to the disease on Monday following a 30-year fight
- Alongside a picture taken with Olivia, Samantha penned: 'I now start my own battle with this disease and am left feeling deeply moved'

EastEnders legend Samantha Womack has been diagnosed with breast cancer.
The soap star, 49, announced on Tuesday that she she'd 'started her own battle' with the disease as she paid tribute to Olivia Newton-John, who died on Monday morning aged 73 after long fight with cancer.
In a tribute to the late actress, she tweeted a picture of the pair with Olivia's daughter Chloe, taken when Samantha had played Sandy in the 1993 West End production of Grease.
Candid: Ex-EastEnders star Samantha Womack revealed she has breast cancer as she paid tribute to the late Olivia Newton-John in a 1993 image with the late actress and her daughter Chloe
Samantha captioned the image: 'This was the most magical of evenings. Olivia and Chloe had come to see Grease in London and we had dinner together afterwards.
'I was so excited and in awe, she was my childhood. I now start my own battle with this disease and am left feeling deeply moved. #OliviaNewtonJohn.'
Samantha, who famously played Ronnie Mitchell in EastEnders from 2007 to 2017, was immediately flooded with messages of support from her celebrity friends.
Referencing the star's upcoming stint in the West End production of The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, comedian Shappi Khorsandi penned: 'Sending the most brilliant White Witch support and love x'
Samantha's on-screen sister in EastEnders, Rita Simons, also reached out, tweeting: 'Love you forever my sis ❤️'.
This Morning's soap expert Sharon Marshall tweeted: 'Wishing you love and strength ❤️', while actress Lucia Keskin added: 'Sending strength. Love you loads!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️.'

The star recently discussed her complicated family life as she revealed she was 'proud' that she is able to speak to her ex-husband, who she split from in 2020, 'two or three times a day.'
She said: 'Mark and I raised a family really well, so we agreed that we didn’t mind separating in terms of a traditional marriage, but actually I would really have suffered if we hadn’t maintained a friendship, because that was part of my life for 20 years.
'We speak to each other two or three times a day, Mark will say, "Can I pop round next week – can you have the two Chihuahuas?" and I’ll say, "Yeah, but can you have the cat next week?"'
Reaching out: Samantha was immediately flooded with messages of support from her celebrity friends
Iconic: Samantha famously played Ronnie Mitchell in EastEnders from 2007 to 2017 (pictured right alongside on-screen sister Roxy, played by Rita Simons)
Samantha is currently dating former Coronation Street actor Oliver Farnworth, 39, and the pair live together in Spain, after relocating to Valencia at the start of the year.
The couple's romance first came to light in May last year when a source revealed: 'Samantha’s chemistry with Oliver was clear to see on stage and they remained close after the production.
'They couldn’t be happier and have loved dating away from the public eye.
'They’ve met each other’s families and it all feels very natural. They’re totally smitten with each other.
'Plus her ex Mark is happy for her too. It’s all very grown-up and modern.'

Samantha's candid post came after Olivia died following a 30-year battle with breast cancer.
Olivia, who shot to international stardom thanks to her role as Sandy in the 1978 movie Grease, died surrounded by family at her home in southern California after a long battle with breast cancer.
Her husband revealed the actress' final request was for donations to be made to the Olivia Newton-John Foundation Fund, 'in lieu of flowers'.
The foundation funds research into plant-based medicine and holistic treatments for cancer.
Heartbreaking: Olivia died on Monday following a 30-year battle with breast cancer, in a final video posted just before Christmas, Olivia thanked her fans for their support over the years
In a final video posted just before Christmas, Olivia thanked her fans for their support over the years.
'I just wanted to take this opportunity to wish all a primarily healthy, happy, peaceful Christmas,' she said.
I know it's been a very, very, very difficult time for everybody in the whole planet - so this is a time we can get together, celebrate each other and our families and whatever faith that you believe in we can express it with each other which is very important.
'I want to thank you all for all of your support over the years and I wish you all the best and send you love and light.'
Olivia's battle with breast cancer first began in 1992 when she was just 44 years old. She was very open about her diagnosis and treatment, which famously included the use of medical marijuana.
Her cancer returned in 2013 and again in 2017.

Southwest attendant suffers broken back in hard landing
Posted/updated on: August 9, 2022 at 4:48 amDALLAS (AP) – A Southwest Airlines flight attendant suffered a compression fracture in her back during a hard landing last month in California. Federal safety investigators say the jolt was so strong that the flight attendant thought the plane had crashed. The National Transportation Safety Board completed its investigation without saying what caused the hard larding. The safety board says none of the other 141 people on board were injured in the incident, which happened July 1 at John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana, California. The airport has a relatively short runway. The safety board has not made its documents from the investigation public. | https://ktbb.com/post/?p=1151763 | 2022-08-09T11:15:09Z | https://ktbb.com/post/?p=1151763 | true |

Users of popular messaging app Whatsapp can expect a number of changes this month as part of a privacy update, in what will make the app one of the most secure platforms to have a conversation.
Around two billion people use Whatsapp every day, with the app part of Zuckerberg’s evergrowing empire that includes both Instagram and Facebook.
Zuckerberg, who studied at Harvard University for two years, said the new features being rolled out by Whatsapp are aimed to keep improving the privacy around online conversations.
Regarding the new WhatsApp update, Zuckerberg said: “We’ll keep building new ways to protect your messages and keep them as private and secure as face-to-face conversations.”
What’s included in the new privacy update?
The world’s leading app for messages will launch its new ‘stealth mode’ later this month, which will allow users to leave group chats without notifying other users in that group.
In another new addition, users will also be able to control who can see when they are online.
The new privacy update will also block users from screenshotting messages that are earmarked for ‘view once’, which disappear after being read.
The screenshot blocking tool is currently undergoing some tests, WhatsApp said, and would be released to users soon.
Ami Vora, WhatsApp’s head of product, said the platform was focused on building features that “empower people to have more control and privacy over their messages”.
“Over the years, we’ve added interlocking layers of protection to help keep their conversations secure, and the new features is one way we continue to deliver on our commitment to keep messages private” | https://www.hucknalldispatch.co.uk/read-this/whatsapp-announces-privacy-changes-to-app-to-help-you-feel-more-secure-mark-zuckerbergs-message-to-users-3798510 | 2022-08-09T11:18:26Z | https://www.hucknalldispatch.co.uk/read-this/whatsapp-announces-privacy-changes-to-app-to-help-you-feel-more-secure-mark-zuckerbergs-message-to-users-3798510 | true |
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Louisiana-Pacific Corporation (LP) (NYSE: LPX) today reported its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.
Key Highlights for the Second Quarter of 2022, Compared to the Second Quarter of the Prior Year
- Completed the sale of the Engineered Wood Products (EWP) segment on August 1st. Second quarter of 2022 results reflect the EWP segment as discontinued operations
- Net sales from continuing operations decreased by 3% to $1,130 million
- Siding Solutions net sales increased by 24% to $356 million
- OSB net sales decreased by 14% to $673 million
- Income from continuing operations attributed to LP decreased by $138 million to $348 million ($4.28 per diluted share). Income from discontinued operations increased by $26 million to $37 million ($0.45 per diluted share).
- Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $491 million, a decrease of $174 million; Adjusted EBITDA including discontinued operations(1) was $535 million, a decrease of $149 million
- Adjusted Diluted EPS(1) was $4.19 per share, a decrease of $0.44 per share; Adjusted Diluted EPS including discontinued operations(1) was $4.57 per share, a decrease of $0.17 per share
- Cash provided by operating activities was $483 million, an increase of $26 million
- Received gross proceeds of $210 million on August 1, 2022 from the sale of the EWP segment, which will result in a pre-tax gain on the sale of between $120 million to $125 million in the third quarter
(1) This is a non-GAAP financial measure. See "Use of Non-GAAP Information", "Reconciliation of Net Income to Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted Income, and Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted EPS and "Reconciliation of Income from discontinued operations to Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA from discontinued operations. Non-GAAP Adjusted Income from discontinued operations, and Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted EPS from discontinued operations" below.
Capital Allocation Update
- For the quarter, LP paid $471 million to repurchase 7.3 million of its common shares, leaving 77.2 million common shares outstanding at June 30, 2022
- Paid $103 million for capital expenditures during the second quarter
- Paid $18 million in cash dividends during the second quarter
- Cash and cash equivalents of $517 million as of June 30, 2022

- Common shares outstanding as of August 8, 2022, 73.9 million
"Including the EWP segment, the second quarter of 2022 was another record sales quarter for LP," said LP Chair and Chief Executive Officer Brad Southern. "Despite ongoing raw material inflation and logistics challenges, LP's teams consistently executed our strategy to meet sustained customer demand. The new Siding mill in Houlton, Maine, is ramping up ahead of schedule, and contributed to Siding reaching a quarterly sales record of $356 million. With Structural Solutions mix exceeding 50% for the first six months of 2022, we believe LP is now the leading producer of specialty OSB, offering the widest array of specialty OSB building solutions. While we are monitoring inflation and interest rates closely, so far we see few signs of diminished demand for our products."
Second Quarter 2022 Highlights
Net sales for the second quarter of 2022 decreased year-over-year by $38 million (or 3%). This included a $105 million (or 14%) decrease in OSB revenue (22% lower OSB prices on 10% higher volumes, primarily driven by the Peace Valley mill restart), offset partially by Siding Solutions revenue growth of $68 million (or 24%).
Income from continuing operations attributed to LP for the second quarter of 2022 decreased year-over-year by $138 million (or 28%) to $348 million, or $4.28 per diluted share. This reflects a $174 million decrease in Adjusted EBITDA, $13 million of insurance recoveries received in 2022, and a decrease in the provision for income tax of $27 million driven by lower pre-tax income in the current year.
Income from discontinued operations for the second quarter of 2022 increased year-over-year by $26 million to $37 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, primarily due to better realization of EWP prices.
First Six Months of 2022 Highlights
Net sales for the first six months of 2022 increased year-over-year by $235 million (or 11%). This included a $100 million (or 8%) increase in OSB revenue (11% higher volumes, primarily driven by the Peace Valley mill restart on 3% lower OSB prices) and Siding Solutions growth of $116 million (or 20%).
Income from continuing operations attributed to LP for the first six months of 2022 decreased year-over-year by $33 million (or 4%) to $770 million, or $9.19 per diluted share. The decrease primarily reflects a $30 million decrease in Adjusted EBITDA.
Income from discontinued operations for the first six months of 2022 increased year-over-year by $85 million to $99 million, or $1.18 per diluted share, primarily due to better realization of EWP prices and a $39 million gain associated with the sale of LP's 50% equity interest in two joint ventures that produce I-joists.
Segment Results
Siding
The Siding segment serves diverse end markets with a broad product offering of engineered wood siding, trim, and fascia, including LP® SmartSide® Trim & Siding, LP® SmartSide® ExpertFinish® Trim & Siding, LP BuilderSeries® Lap Siding, and LP® Outdoor Building Solutions® (collectively referred to as Siding Solutions).
Segment sales and Adjusted EBITDA for this segment were as follows (dollar amounts in millions):
The combined effects of list price increases and improving mix of innovative products drove year-over-year increases in the average net selling price for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Additionally, the production ramp-up of the Houlton facility was ahead of schedule and contributed almost half of the year-over-year sales volume increase during the three months ended June 30, 2022.
Adjusted EBITDA increased for the three months ended June 30, 2022, reflecting price and volume growth largely offset by $29 million of raw material and freight inflation and $7 million of discretionary investments in support of future growth, including siding mill conversions and sales and marketing costs. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA of $8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, reflects price and volume growth offset primarily by $55 million of raw material and freight inflation and $19 million of discretionary investments in support of future growth, including siding mill and sales and marketing costs.
Oriented Strand Board (OSB)
The OSB segment manufactures and distributes OSB structural panel products including the value-added OSB portfolio known as LP Structural Solutions (LP® TechShield® Radiant Barrier, LP WeatherLogic® Air & Water Barrier, LP Legacy® Premium Sub-Flooring, and LP® FlameBlock® Fire-Rated Sheathing) and LP® TopNotch® Sub-Flooring. OSB is manufactured using wood strands arranged in layers and bonded with resins.
Segment sales and Adjusted EBITDA for this segment were as follows (dollar amounts in millions):
OSB average net selling prices decreased year-over-year by 22% on 10% higher OSB sales volume for the three months ended June 30, 2022, resulting in a 14% decrease in net sales. OSB average net selling prices decreased year-over-year by 3% on 11% higher OSB sales volume for the six months ended June 30, 2022, resulting in an 8% increase in net sales.
The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA of $162 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, reflects $195 million from lower prices and $22 million of increased raw material inflation offset partially by $54 million from higher sales volume. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA of $11 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, reflects $65 million from lower prices and $45 million of increased raw material inflation offset partially by $96 million from higher sales volume.
South America
LP's South America segment manufactures and distributes OSB structural panel and siding products in South America and certain export markets. This segment has manufacturing operations in two countries, Chile and Brazil, and operates sales offices in Chile, Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Argentina, and Paraguay.
Segment sales and Adjusted EBITDA for this segment were as follows (dollar amounts in millions):
Net sales in South America decreased year-over-year by 5% for the three months ended June 30, 2022, predominately due to 6% lower sales volume. Net sales increased year-over-year by 8% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, due in large part to higher OSB prices.
The year-over-year decrease in Adjusted EBITDA of $8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, reflects lower sales volume and higher costs for raw material costs. The year-over-year decrease in Adjusted EBITDA of $3 million for the first six months of 2022 reflects the net effect of lower sales volume, higher raw materials costs, and higher OSB prices.
Q3 2022 Outlook and 2022 Capital Expenditure Guidance
Our guidance is based on current plans and expectations and is subject to a number of known and unknown uncertainties and risks, including those set forth below under "Forward-Looking Statements."
- Siding Solutions third quarter of 2022 year-over-year revenue growth expected to be approximately 20%
- OSB revenue in the third quarter of 2022 expected to be sequentially lower than the second quarter of 2022 by approximately 40%, assuming that OSB prices published by Random Lengths remain unchanged from those published on August 5, 2022. This is an assumption for modeling purposes and not a price forecast
- Adjusted EBITDA(2) for the third quarter of 2022 expected to be approximately $200 million
- Siding Solutions full-year 2022 expected year-over-year revenue growth continues to be greater than 20%
- Given our current outlook, capital expenditures for 2022 are expected to be in the range of $400 million to $430 million, including $200 million to $210 million for the mill conversions, $120 million to $130 million for sustaining maintenance, and $80 million to $90 million for other strategic growth projects
(2) This is a non-GAAP financial measure. With respect to Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2022, certain items that affect net income on a GAAP basis, such as product-line discontinuance charges, other operating credits and charges, net, loss on early debt extinguishment, investment income, and other non-operating items, that would be required to be included in the comparable forecasted GAAP measures cannot be reasonably predicted at this time, and LP is unable to quantify such amounts that would be required to be included in the comparable forecasted GAAP measures, without unreasonable effort. As such, the Company is unable to provide a reasonable estimate of GAAP net income, or a corresponding reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income.

Use of Non-GAAP Information
In evaluating our business, we utilize non-GAAP financial measures that fall within the meaning of SEC Regulation G and Regulation S-K Item 10(e), which we believe provide users of the financial information with additional meaningful comparison to prior reported results. Non-GAAP financial measures do not have standardized definitions and are not defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In this press release, we disclose income attributed to LP from continuing operations before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and exclude stock-based compensation expense, loss on impairment attributed to LP, product-line discontinuance charges, other operating credits and charges, net, loss on early debt extinguishment, investment income, pension settlement charges, and other non-operating items as Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations (Adjusted EBITDA), which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We have included Adjusted EBITDA in this report because we view it as an important supplemental measure of our performance and believe that it is frequently used by interested persons in the evaluation of companies that have different financing and capital structures and/or tax rates. We also disclose income attributed to LP from continuing operations, excluding loss on impairment attributed to LP, product-line discontinuance charges, interest expense outside of normal operations, other operating credits and charges, net, loss on early debt extinguishment, gain (loss) on acquisition, pension settlement charges, and adjusting for a normalized tax rate as Adjusted Income (Adjusted Income). We also disclose Adjusted Diluted EPS, which is calculated as Adjusted Income divided by diluted shares outstanding. We believe that Adjusted Diluted EPS and Adjusted Income are useful measures for evaluating our ability to generate earnings and that providing these measures should allow interested persons to more readily compare the earnings for past and future periods. We also disclose income from discontinued operations, before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and exclude stock-based compensation expense, other operating credits and charges, net, and other non-operating items attributable to discontinued operations (Adjusted EBITDA from discontinued operations), income from discontinued operations, excluding other operating credits and charges, net and adjusting for a normalized tax rate (Adjusted Income from discontinued operations), and Adjusted Income divided by diluted shares outstanding (Adjusted Diluted EPS from discontinued operations), which are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA from discontinued operations, Adjusted Income from discontinued operations, and Adjusted Diluted EPS from discontinued operations are useful measures in this period for evaluating our earnings prior to our entry into an asset purchase agreement to sell the assets of the EWP segment as of June 21, 2022 and that providing these measures should allow interested persons to more readily compare the earnings for past and future periods.
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA from discontinued operations, Adjusted Income from discontinued operations, and Adjusted Diluted EPS from discontinued operations are not substitutes for the U.S. GAAP measures of net income and net income per diluted share or for any other U.S. GAAP measures of operating performance. It should be noted that other companies may present similarly titled measures differently, and therefore, as presented by us, these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA from discontinued operations, Adjusted Income from discontinued operations, and Adjusted Diluted EPS from discontinued operations have material limitations as performance measures because they exclude items that are actually incurred or experienced in connection with the operation of our business.
LOUISIANA-PACIFIC CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
The following tables set forth: (1) housing starts, (2) our North American sales volume, and (3) Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). We consider these items to be key performance indicators because LP's management uses these metrics to evaluate our business and trends, measure our performance, and make strategic decisions, and believes that the key performance indicators presented provide additional perspective and insights when analyzing the core operating performance of LP. These key performance indicators should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for or as an alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with, the U.S. GAAP financial measures presented herein. These measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled performance indicators used by other companies.
We monitor housing starts, which is a leading external indicator of residential construction in the United States that correlates with the demand for many of our products. We believe that this is a useful measure for evaluating our results and that providing this measure should allow interested persons to more readily compare our sales volume for past and future periods to an external indicator of product demand. Other companies may present housing start data differently and therefore, as presented by us, our housing start data may not be comparable to similarly-titled indicators reported by other companies.
The following table sets forth housing starts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:
We monitor sales volumes for our products in our Siding, OSB and EWP segments, which we define as the number of units of our products sold within the applicable period. Evaluating sales volume by product type helps us identify and address changes in product demand, broad market factors that may affect our performance, and opportunities for future growth. It should be noted that other companies may present sales volumes differently and, therefore, as presented by us, sales volumes may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. We believe that sales volumes can be a useful measure for evaluating and understanding our business.
The following table sets forth sales volumes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:
We measure OEE of each of our mills to track improvements in the utilization and productivity of our manufacturing assets. OEE is a composite metric that considers asset uptime (adjusted for capital project downtime and similar events), production rates, and finished product quality. It should be noted that other companies may present OEE differently and, therefore, as presented by us, OEE may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. We believe that when used in conjunction with other metrics, OEE can be a useful measure for evaluating our ability to generate profits, and that providing this measure should allow interested persons to more readily monitor operational improvements.
OEE for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 for each of our segments is listed below:

Home sellers in San Antonio are lowering their asking prices, data from two real estate brokerages indicates, as would-be buyers contend with higher mortgage rates and prices.
Sellers dropped prices for about 37.5 percent of homes on the market in June, compared with 20.2 percent during the same month last year, according to Redfin.
That’s not just happening in San Antonio. Of the 97 metropolitan areas Redfin analyzed, over three-quarters saw more than 25 percent of sellers lower asking prices in June.
Boise, Idaho; Denver; Salt Lake City; and Tacoma, Wash., topped the list for the biggest share of homes with price reductions.
Elsewhere in Texas, 41.6 percent of Austin homes on the market in June had price reductions, followed by 38 percent in Houston, 37.4 percent in Dallas and 36.7 percent in Fort Worth.
Higher mortgage rates, the specter of a recession and a fluctuating stock market are prompting some home seekers to wait on buying, Redfin Senior Economist Sheharyar Bokhari said.
“If demand plateaus in the coming months, price cuts are likely to be less common as sellers realize the market has shifted and price realistically from the start,” Bokhari said. “But if demand falls further, sellers will continue to play catch-up and cut prices to attract buyers.”
Zillow’s figures also show the trend in price reductions, but not as frequently.
The brokerage estimated 15.8 percent of San Antonio homes for sale saw price cuts in June, compared with 8.4 percent during the same month last year.
In Austin, 17.2 percent of homes for sale had their prices trimmed, according to Zillow, followed by 16.8 percent in Houston and 15.5 percent in Dallas-Fort Worth.
Along with economic turbulence, buyers are contending with rising prices, Zillow spokesman Mark Stayton said.
“Demand is easing as buyers run into serious affordability challenges, and some people may be holding off making major financial changes in their lives due to uncertainty around the economy,” Stayton said. “This early movement toward a more balanced market and away from runaway growth is ultimately a step in the direction of a healthier housing market.”
Buyers who can afford higher prices have more inventory to choose from and more time to search for a home that meets their needs, he said.
“After seeing prices surge for months, sellers are now having to readjust their expectations,” Stayton said.
San Antonio’s housing market has shown signs of cooling in recent months amid climbing prices and higher mortgage rates.
Home sales and prices soared in San Antonio during the coronavirus pandemic, fueled by low mortgage rates, population growth and people seeking additional space as they adjusted to spending more time at home and working remotely.
The area’s housing market has shown signs of cooling in recent months amid higher rates and prices that are too high for some buyers.
Sales fell 9 percent in June from a year earlier, the third consecutive month of declining year-over-year sales, according to the latest data from the San Antonio Board of Realtors.
Homes are staying on the market longer: The average time in June was 29 days, up from 26 days during the same month in 2021.
Average rates for a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage fell to 4.99 percent for the week ended Aug. 4, according to Freddie Mac. That was down from 5.3 percent the previous week but up from 2.77 percent a year earlier.
“Mortgage rates remained volatile due to the tug of war between inflationary pressures and a clear slowdown in economic growth,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist. “The high uncertainty surrounding inflation and other factors will likely cause rates to remain variable, especially as the Federal Reserve attempts to navigate the current economic environment.”
Prices continue to increase. The median price of homes sold in the area in June was $348,200, up 20.2 percent from June 2021.
The supply of homes for sale also is loosening, though it remains tight by industry standards.
Inventory stood at 2.3 months in June, up from 1.5 months a year earlier. Six months is typically considered a balance between buyers and sellers.

Siddaramaiah attacks RSS at the launch of padayatra in Tagadur
MYSURU August 09, 2022 16:04 ISTMr Siddaramaiah also asked people to read RSS: Aala Mattu Agala authored by writer Devanur Mahadeva, which he described as a factual representation of the organisation
Training his guns on the RSS, former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Monday sought to highlight the opposition harboured by the leaders of right-wing organisation towards the national tricolour.
Speaking ahead of the launch of a padayatra at Tagadur in Varuna assembly constituency in Mysuru district to mark 75 years of India’s independence, Mr Siddaramaiah also questioned the contribution of RSS to the freedom struggle.
He pointed out that RSS leader V D Savarkar not only wrote mercy petitions to the then British Government, but also said that the tricolour should never be approved as the country’s national flag. Similiarly, another RSS leader Golwarkar had opposed the tricolour claiming that its choice was not based on nationalistic thought. RSS mouth-piece Organiser too had said that the tricolour should not be respected, Mr Siddaramaiah claimed.
When such was the stand of the RSS leaders, Mr Siddaramaiah wondered how Prime Minister Narendra Modi could promote the national flag now with the “Har Ghar Tiranga” campaign. “The RSS did not fly the national flag at its headquarters in Nagpur for 52 years. It was flying the bhagwa dhwaja”, he said.
Role of Congress in freedom struggle
Contending that the Sangh Parivar can never be in favour of the country, Mr Siddaramaiah said it was the Congress party that not only participated in the country’s freedom struggle, but also gave the country its national flag, the national anthem and the Constitution.
He said the 75 years of Indian Independence was an occasion to remember the sacrifices of freedom fighters like Mahatma Gandhi, who had visited Tagadur, which is also the native of freedom fighter Tagadur Ramachandra Rao. “Had it not been for people like Mahatma Gandhi, the British would have ruled India for another 200 years and ruined the country,” he said.
Mr Siddaramaiah also asked the people to read RSS: Aala Mattu Agala authored by writer Devanur Mahadeva, which he described as a factual representation of the organisation.
Tricolour profile picture
AICC Observer Rosie John, who also participated in the function, said RSS leaders including its top leaders had not changed the profile picture on their social media accounts even though Prime Minister Narendra Modi had made an appeal in this regard. “They are all fake nationalists. They never accepted the tricolour and never hoisted it. Now, they are trying to pretend to be champions of freedom movement,” he said.
KPCC Working President R Dhruvanarayan and former Minister H C Mahadevappa were among the leaders, who attended the programme. | https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/karnataka/siddaramaiah-attacks-rss-at-the-launch-of-padayatra-in-tagadur/article65747124.ece/amp/ | 2022-08-09T11:22:19Z | https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/karnataka/siddaramaiah-attacks-rss-at-the-launch-of-padayatra-in-tagadur/article65747124.ece/amp/ | true |
Lisa Keightley to step down as England head cricket coach at the end of the summer
Lisa Keightley will leave her role as England head coach at the end of the summer, the England and Wales Cricket Board has announced
The Australian, who took charge in January 2020, led England to the final of the World Cup in April but they could not emulate their 2017 triumph, losing out to Australia in Christchurch.
England were also knocked out of the semi-final of the 2020 T20 World Cup and failed to secure a medal at the recent Birmingham Commonwealth Games, while they also suffered a disappointing Ashes defeat.
Keightley’s last series in charge will be the visit of India in September, with a new appointment to be made in the winter to oversee the side into the T20 World Cup in February 2023, after the decision was made by both parties earlier in the summer.
“We are incredibly grateful for the commitment and passion Lisa has shown over the last two-and-a-half years in the role,” director of England women’s cricket Jonathan Finch said.
“We have seen increased competition for places over the last 12 months and the squad Lisa leaves is an exciting blend of youth and experience.
“Leading an international team is challenging at the best of times. It is more challenging during a pandemic, and Lisa has been able to continue the development of the team during what has been the toughest period we have faced off the field.”
Keightley has been the first England coach to benefit from professional contracts in domestic cricket, which were first introduced in 2019 and have streamlined the pathway into the international side for the likes of Alice Capsey, Alice Davidson-Richards and Issy Wong.
“I’d like to place on record our sincere thanks to Lisa for all her efforts across the last two-and-a-half years,” interim chief executive officer Clare Connor said.
“Lisa was always a fierce opponent when she represented Australia, and she’s brought that same pride, passion and will to win into everything she’s done with the England Women’s team.
“The team have enjoyed working with her immensely and I know they’ll join me in wishing her all the very best for her next challenge.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Treasury Department has imposed sanctions on virtual currency mixer Tornado Cash, which has allegedly helped to launder more than $7 billion worth of virtual currency since its creation in 2019.
Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control says Tornado Cash’s systems were used, among other things, to launder more than $96 million drawn from the June Harmony blockchain bridge theft and August Nomad crypto firm heist.
Mixing services combine various digital assets, including potentially illegally obtained funds and legitimately obtained funds, so that illegal actors can obscure the origin of the stolen funds.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement that the U.S. “will continue to pursue actions against mixers laundering virtual currency for criminals and those who assist them.”
The new sanctions point to the growing use of digital assets to perpetuate illegal acts by state actors and individuals. Lawmakers and administration officials have voiced concerns about the use of cryptocurrency to engage in illicit acts.
“The United States will not hesitate to use its authorities against malicious cyber actors, to expose, disrupt, and promote accountability for perpetrators and enablers of criminal activities,” Blinken said.
Monday’s actions are the second-ever set of sanctions imposed on a digital currency blending firm.
The U.S. accuses Tornado Cash of helping to launder a portion of the more than $600 million stolen by Lazarus Group, the sanctioned North Korean cyber hacking group, in one of the largest-known virtual currency heists to date.
In May, the U.S. announced sanctions against North Korean digital currency mixing firm Blender.io, accused of helping Lazarus Group to carry out the digital currency heist in March.
And while the government says Tornado Cash has laundered around $7 billion, Tom Robinson, co-founder of Elliptic, a blockchain analysis firm, estimates that the amount of funds laundered through Tornado is much lower, but at least $1.5 billion.
Robinson said “it should be noted that there are legitimate uses of mixers such as Tornado, such as to preserve financial privacy.”
“Tornado Cash has repeatedly failed to impose effective controls designed to stop it from laundering funds for malicious cyber actors on a regular basis and without basic measures to address its risks,” said Brian Nelson, Treasury’s undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence.
He said the agency “will continue to aggressively pursue actions against mixers that launder virtual currency for criminals and those who assist them.”
In March, President Joe Biden issued an executive order on digital assets, in part calling for federal regulators to help mitigate the illicit finance and national security risks posed by misuse of digital assets.

Company transitioning to three operating segments to drive sustainable growth
AUSTIN, Minn., Aug. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Hormel Foods Corporation (NYSE: HRL), a Fortune 500 global branded food company, today announced a new strategic operating model, aligning its businesses to be more agile, consumer and customer focused, and market driven. Effective Oct. 31, 2022, the beginning of fiscal 2023, the company is transitioning to three operating segments – Retail, Foodservice and International. The One Supply Chain team will continue to oversee the company's global supply chain.
"Hormel Foods is a distinctly different company than it was a decade ago, with a food forward, growth-oriented portfolio of leading brands and products that are aligned with our customer and consumer needs," said Jim Snee, chairman of the board, president and chief executive officer at Hormel Foods. "Our new operating model is a culmination of our recent strategic actions, which included numerous portfolio-building acquisitions, including the Planters® snacking business, the creation of One Supply Chain, the modernization of our technology and ecommerce capabilities, and most recently, our transformational efforts at Jennie-O Turkey Store. This new alignment will empower our 20,000 global team members, with a more refined organizational structure that is accountable, nimble and focused on creating the Hormel Foods of the future."
The new operating model will support the company's six strategic priorities:
- Expand leadership in foodservice;
- Protect and grow its core brands;
- Aggressively develop its global presence;
- Amplify scale in snacking and entertaining;
- Enhance growth of its ethnic and food forward portfolios; and,
- Continue to transform the company.
The company's largest operating segment – Retail – will include its most iconic brands, many that hold a No. 1 or No. 2 market share in their respective categories. The retail segment will be focused on Hormel Foods powerhouse consumer brands in the retail marketplace. These brands include the recently acquired Planters® and Corn Nuts®, in addition to SPAM®, SKIPPY®, Columbus®, Applegate®, Hormel® Natural Choice®, Jennie-O®, Hormel® Black Label®, Herdez®, WHOLLY® and Justin's®. The new Retail segment will be led by Deanna Brady, who will be executive vice president of Retail. Brady currently oversees the company's Refrigerated Foods segment.
The Retail segment will be powered by a new center of excellence called Brand Fuel. Over the last several years, the company has focused on the importance of leveraging its innovation, consumer insights and technology to enable connections with consumers where and how they shop. Brand Fuel will be a food forward hub, housing brand management expertise, world-class marketing capabilities and insights-led innovation, and will further enable data-driven decisions for the enterprise. This center will also house the Digital Experience Group, the company's ecommerce and digital content team that supports the company's brands and businesses in the virtual marketplace.
The Foodservice operating segment will serve leading foodservice establishments, including restaurants, hotels, educational and health care institutions, convenience stores and entertainment venues. The company's sales into the foodservice channel have continued to experience growth due to its portfolio of branded, value-added products and market leadership positions in the pizza toppings and bacon categories. The new Foodservice operating segment will combine the company's domestic foodservice businesses and will remain focused on partnering with customers to deliver culinary solutions for today's dynamic environment. This segment will be led by Mark Ourada as group vice president of Foodservice.
The International segment will continue to focus on aggressively growing its presence outside the United States. This includes growing global brands such as SPAM® and SKIPPY®, accelerating growth and investment in China, Brazil and Indonesia, and further leveraging its partnerships in the Philippines, South Korea and Europe. The company recently announced a new R&D and innovation center will be opening in China in fiscal year 2023 to serve as its food forward innovation and culinary creation hub for the Asia-Pacific region. Swen Neufeldt will continue to lead the company's international business as group vice president, president of Hormel Foods International Corporation.
Hormel Foods will begin operating under the new model Oct. 31, 2022. Earnings will be reported under this structure beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. Changes to the company's operating segments have no impact on historical consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Recast financial information will be provided at a later date to aid in comparability to historical financial data.
Updates on the new strategic operating model will be provided on the fiscal third-quarter earnings call, scheduled for Sept. 1, 2022, and during the company's presentation at the Barclays Global Consumer Staples Conference, scheduled for Sept. 6, 2022.
Hormel Foods worked with Bain & Company, one of the world's top global management consulting firms, on the initiative.

Gideon Wertheizer, CEO of CEVA, stated: "We delivered solid second quarter results against a challenging macroeconomic backdrop. Our wireless connectivity IP continues to drive our licensing business, as it is a cornerstone of the IoT market. We continue to capitalize on our strength in wireless to make inroads to a new customer base and add value via our co-creation business proposition. In royalties, our base station & IoT category was $7 million, highlighting our resilience, as 5G RAN rollout in China and the rest of the world moves forward and our Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and cellular IoT customers leverage our IP to gain market share."

Florida Senate President Wilton Simpson has started the process that could lead to senators considering the fate of suspended Hillsborough County State Attorney Andrew Warren.
Simpson, R-Trilby, sent a memo to senators Thursday after Gov. Ron DeSantis issued a controversial executive order suspending Warren. DeSantis cited a pledge by the twice-elected state attorney to not enforce a new law preventing abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy.
In the memo, Simpson wrote that the “first step in addressing a suspension is to inform the suspended official of the Senate’s receipt of the governor’s suspension action and to inquire whether it is the intention of the suspended official to resign from office or request a hearing.”
Warren, a Democrat, has vowed to fight DeSantis’ effort to ultimately remove him from office, which would require approval from the Republican-dominated Senate. Warren has called the suspension by DeSantis a “political stunt” and “illegal overreach” to “further his own political ambition.”
In the memo, Simpson urged senators to review a rule about Senate procedures for handling such suspensions.
“In my view, since we are tasked by Florida’s Constitution to sit in judgment of the merits of a suspension, senators should refrain from speaking publicly about the merits or substance of any executive suspension,” Simpson wrote.
Sen. Lori Berman, D-Delray Beach, said Monday her colleagues need to quickly review Warren’s suspension. But, she added that she hopes senators don’t “rubber-stamp anything.”
“I really have some concerns about what the governor did,” Berman said when asked by a reporter during a conference call about the U.S. Senate’s passage of a measure known as the Inflation Reduction Act. “So, I would like to understand what the basis is for why he did dismiss Mr. Warren, and I would like for us to have a full Senate trial on it.”
DeSantis targeted Warren, first elected as state attorney in the 13th Judicial Circuit in 2016, for signing onto a letter in June promising to avoid prosecuting people for providing or seeking abortions.
The letter was published by the organization Fair and Just Prosecution, which bills itself as bringing together elected local prosecutors to promote “a justice system grounded in fairness, equity, compassion, and fiscal responsibility.”
Florida lawmakers passed a 15-week abortion limit during this year’s legislative session, and DeSantis signed it in April. Providers could face third-degree felony charges for breaking the law.
According to DeSantis’ executive order, Warren "thinks he has the authority to defy the Florida Legislature and nullify in his jurisdiction criminal laws with which he disagrees."
DeSantis also targeted Warren for joining a separate letter “condemning the criminalization of transgender people and gender-affirming healthcare” that was published last year by Fair and Just Prosecution.
DeSantis appointed Hillsborough County Judge Susan Lopez to take over as state attorney after Warren’s suspension.
Shortly after taking office in 2019, DeSantis suspended then-Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel, pointing to issues such as the 2018 mass shooting at Parkland’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School that killed 17 people.
Israel’s case went to the Senate, where then-President Bill Galvano appointed former lawmaker Dudley Goodlette to serve as a special master. Goodlette found that DeSantis’ lawyers failed to provide evidence to support Israel’s ouster.
But the Senate defied Goodlette’s recommendation and removed Israel from office. | https://www.wlrn.org/news/2022-08-09/the-fate-of-andrew-warrens-suspension-is-up-to-the-state-senate-one-south-florida-lawmaker-calls-for-a-full-trial | 2022-08-09T11:31:45Z | https://www.wlrn.org/news/2022-08-09/the-fate-of-andrew-warrens-suspension-is-up-to-the-state-senate-one-south-florida-lawmaker-calls-for-a-full-trial | false |

WARNER ROBINS, Ga. — One Warner Robins teen has found a way to make big bucks while keeping up with her education.
16-year-old Alanna Bennett is cashing in with her own vending machine in the very school she attends, so if she wants to, she can check on her income while keeping her head in her books.
"Sometimes you forget deodorant lotion or maybe you just forget a pencil in class. I though what better thing is to have a vending machine with everything you need," Bennett said.
After realizing some students needed a way to get supplies at school, the Warner Robins High School student realized she could help out her school community and make some extra cash.
"We thought about an idea for her to create a vending machine so she can create residual income for herself instead of being at a location everyday during the week and she just doesn't have the time," her mom Demetria Bennet said.
So, Bennett created a business plan. She also surveyed students around school to see what they found themselves needing most. Then, she just needed the OK from the principal.
"She had a great business plan. Part of us as educators is to believe in our students and I just thought it was a great idea," Principal Chris McCook said.
An idea that also helps out her classmates.
"As class president my freshman and sophomore year I speak for my peers and I want to make sure we are taken care of," Bennet said.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Louisiana-Pacific Corporation (LP) (NYSE: LPX) today reported its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.
Key Highlights for the Second Quarter of 2022, Compared to the Second Quarter of the Prior Year
- Completed the sale of the Engineered Wood Products (EWP) segment on August 1st. Second quarter of 2022 results reflect the EWP segment as discontinued operations
- Net sales from continuing operations decreased by 3% to $1,130 million
- Siding Solutions net sales increased by 24% to $356 million
- OSB net sales decreased by 14% to $673 million
- Income from continuing operations attributed to LP decreased by $138 million to $348 million ($4.28 per diluted share). Income from discontinued operations increased by $26 million to $37 million ($0.45 per diluted share).
- Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $491 million, a decrease of $174 million; Adjusted EBITDA including discontinued operations(1) was $535 million, a decrease of $149 million
- Adjusted Diluted EPS(1) was $4.19 per share, a decrease of $0.44 per share; Adjusted Diluted EPS including discontinued operations(1) was $4.57 per share, a decrease of $0.17 per share
- Cash provided by operating activities was $483 million, an increase of $26 million
- Received gross proceeds of $210 million on August 1, 2022 from the sale of the EWP segment, which will result in a pre-tax gain on the sale of between $120 million to $125 million in the third quarter
(1) This is a non-GAAP financial measure. See "Use of Non-GAAP Information", "Reconciliation of Net Income to Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted Income, and Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted EPS and "Reconciliation of Income from discontinued operations to Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA from discontinued operations. Non-GAAP Adjusted Income from discontinued operations, and Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted EPS from discontinued operations" below.
Capital Allocation Update
- For the quarter, LP paid $471 million to repurchase 7.3 million of its common shares, leaving 77.2 million common shares outstanding at June 30, 2022
- Paid $103 million for capital expenditures during the second quarter
- Paid $18 million in cash dividends during the second quarter
- Cash and cash equivalents of $517 million as of June 30, 2022

- Common shares outstanding as of August 8, 2022, 73.9 million
"Including the EWP segment, the second quarter of 2022 was another record sales quarter for LP," said LP Chair and Chief Executive Officer Brad Southern. "Despite ongoing raw material inflation and logistics challenges, LP's teams consistently executed our strategy to meet sustained customer demand. The new Siding mill in Houlton, Maine, is ramping up ahead of schedule, and contributed to Siding reaching a quarterly sales record of $356 million. With Structural Solutions mix exceeding 50% for the first six months of 2022, we believe LP is now the leading producer of specialty OSB, offering the widest array of specialty OSB building solutions. While we are monitoring inflation and interest rates closely, so far we see few signs of diminished demand for our products."
Second Quarter 2022 Highlights
Net sales for the second quarter of 2022 decreased year-over-year by $38 million (or 3%). This included a $105 million (or 14%) decrease in OSB revenue (22% lower OSB prices on 10% higher volumes, primarily driven by the Peace Valley mill restart), offset partially by Siding Solutions revenue growth of $68 million (or 24%).
Income from continuing operations attributed to LP for the second quarter of 2022 decreased year-over-year by $138 million (or 28%) to $348 million, or $4.28 per diluted share. This reflects a $174 million decrease in Adjusted EBITDA, $13 million of insurance recoveries received in 2022, and a decrease in the provision for income tax of $27 million driven by lower pre-tax income in the current year.
Income from discontinued operations for the second quarter of 2022 increased year-over-year by $26 million to $37 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, primarily due to better realization of EWP prices.
First Six Months of 2022 Highlights
Net sales for the first six months of 2022 increased year-over-year by $235 million (or 11%). This included a $100 million (or 8%) increase in OSB revenue (11% higher volumes, primarily driven by the Peace Valley mill restart on 3% lower OSB prices) and Siding Solutions growth of $116 million (or 20%).
Income from continuing operations attributed to LP for the first six months of 2022 decreased year-over-year by $33 million (or 4%) to $770 million, or $9.19 per diluted share. The decrease primarily reflects a $30 million decrease in Adjusted EBITDA.
Income from discontinued operations for the first six months of 2022 increased year-over-year by $85 million to $99 million, or $1.18 per diluted share, primarily due to better realization of EWP prices and a $39 million gain associated with the sale of LP's 50% equity interest in two joint ventures that produce I-joists.
Segment Results
Siding
The Siding segment serves diverse end markets with a broad product offering of engineered wood siding, trim, and fascia, including LP® SmartSide® Trim & Siding, LP® SmartSide® ExpertFinish® Trim & Siding, LP BuilderSeries® Lap Siding, and LP® Outdoor Building Solutions® (collectively referred to as Siding Solutions).
Segment sales and Adjusted EBITDA for this segment were as follows (dollar amounts in millions):
The combined effects of list price increases and improving mix of innovative products drove year-over-year increases in the average net selling price for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Additionally, the production ramp-up of the Houlton facility was ahead of schedule and contributed almost half of the year-over-year sales volume increase during the three months ended June 30, 2022.
Adjusted EBITDA increased for the three months ended June 30, 2022, reflecting price and volume growth largely offset by $29 million of raw material and freight inflation and $7 million of discretionary investments in support of future growth, including siding mill conversions and sales and marketing costs. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA of $8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, reflects price and volume growth offset primarily by $55 million of raw material and freight inflation and $19 million of discretionary investments in support of future growth, including siding mill and sales and marketing costs.
Oriented Strand Board (OSB)
The OSB segment manufactures and distributes OSB structural panel products including the value-added OSB portfolio known as LP Structural Solutions (LP® TechShield® Radiant Barrier, LP WeatherLogic® Air & Water Barrier, LP Legacy® Premium Sub-Flooring, and LP® FlameBlock® Fire-Rated Sheathing) and LP® TopNotch® Sub-Flooring. OSB is manufactured using wood strands arranged in layers and bonded with resins.
Segment sales and Adjusted EBITDA for this segment were as follows (dollar amounts in millions):
OSB average net selling prices decreased year-over-year by 22% on 10% higher OSB sales volume for the three months ended June 30, 2022, resulting in a 14% decrease in net sales. OSB average net selling prices decreased year-over-year by 3% on 11% higher OSB sales volume for the six months ended June 30, 2022, resulting in an 8% increase in net sales.
The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA of $162 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, reflects $195 million from lower prices and $22 million of increased raw material inflation offset partially by $54 million from higher sales volume. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA of $11 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, reflects $65 million from lower prices and $45 million of increased raw material inflation offset partially by $96 million from higher sales volume.
South America
LP's South America segment manufactures and distributes OSB structural panel and siding products in South America and certain export markets. This segment has manufacturing operations in two countries, Chile and Brazil, and operates sales offices in Chile, Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Argentina, and Paraguay.
Segment sales and Adjusted EBITDA for this segment were as follows (dollar amounts in millions):
Net sales in South America decreased year-over-year by 5% for the three months ended June 30, 2022, predominately due to 6% lower sales volume. Net sales increased year-over-year by 8% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, due in large part to higher OSB prices.
The year-over-year decrease in Adjusted EBITDA of $8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, reflects lower sales volume and higher costs for raw material costs. The year-over-year decrease in Adjusted EBITDA of $3 million for the first six months of 2022 reflects the net effect of lower sales volume, higher raw materials costs, and higher OSB prices.
Q3 2022 Outlook and 2022 Capital Expenditure Guidance
Our guidance is based on current plans and expectations and is subject to a number of known and unknown uncertainties and risks, including those set forth below under "Forward-Looking Statements."
- Siding Solutions third quarter of 2022 year-over-year revenue growth expected to be approximately 20%
- OSB revenue in the third quarter of 2022 expected to be sequentially lower than the second quarter of 2022 by approximately 40%, assuming that OSB prices published by Random Lengths remain unchanged from those published on August 5, 2022. This is an assumption for modeling purposes and not a price forecast
- Adjusted EBITDA(2) for the third quarter of 2022 expected to be approximately $200 million
- Siding Solutions full-year 2022 expected year-over-year revenue growth continues to be greater than 20%
- Given our current outlook, capital expenditures for 2022 are expected to be in the range of $400 million to $430 million, including $200 million to $210 million for the mill conversions, $120 million to $130 million for sustaining maintenance, and $80 million to $90 million for other strategic growth projects
(2) This is a non-GAAP financial measure. With respect to Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2022, certain items that affect net income on a GAAP basis, such as product-line discontinuance charges, other operating credits and charges, net, loss on early debt extinguishment, investment income, and other non-operating items, that would be required to be included in the comparable forecasted GAAP measures cannot be reasonably predicted at this time, and LP is unable to quantify such amounts that would be required to be included in the comparable forecasted GAAP measures, without unreasonable effort. As such, the Company is unable to provide a reasonable estimate of GAAP net income, or a corresponding reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income.

Use of Non-GAAP Information
In evaluating our business, we utilize non-GAAP financial measures that fall within the meaning of SEC Regulation G and Regulation S-K Item 10(e), which we believe provide users of the financial information with additional meaningful comparison to prior reported results. Non-GAAP financial measures do not have standardized definitions and are not defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In this press release, we disclose income attributed to LP from continuing operations before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and exclude stock-based compensation expense, loss on impairment attributed to LP, product-line discontinuance charges, other operating credits and charges, net, loss on early debt extinguishment, investment income, pension settlement charges, and other non-operating items as Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations (Adjusted EBITDA), which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We have included Adjusted EBITDA in this report because we view it as an important supplemental measure of our performance and believe that it is frequently used by interested persons in the evaluation of companies that have different financing and capital structures and/or tax rates. We also disclose income attributed to LP from continuing operations, excluding loss on impairment attributed to LP, product-line discontinuance charges, interest expense outside of normal operations, other operating credits and charges, net, loss on early debt extinguishment, gain (loss) on acquisition, pension settlement charges, and adjusting for a normalized tax rate as Adjusted Income (Adjusted Income). We also disclose Adjusted Diluted EPS, which is calculated as Adjusted Income divided by diluted shares outstanding. We believe that Adjusted Diluted EPS and Adjusted Income are useful measures for evaluating our ability to generate earnings and that providing these measures should allow interested persons to more readily compare the earnings for past and future periods. We also disclose income from discontinued operations, before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and exclude stock-based compensation expense, other operating credits and charges, net, and other non-operating items attributable to discontinued operations (Adjusted EBITDA from discontinued operations), income from discontinued operations, excluding other operating credits and charges, net and adjusting for a normalized tax rate (Adjusted Income from discontinued operations), and Adjusted Income divided by diluted shares outstanding (Adjusted Diluted EPS from discontinued operations), which are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA from discontinued operations, Adjusted Income from discontinued operations, and Adjusted Diluted EPS from discontinued operations are useful measures in this period for evaluating our earnings prior to our entry into an asset purchase agreement to sell the assets of the EWP segment as of June 21, 2022 and that providing these measures should allow interested persons to more readily compare the earnings for past and future periods.
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA from discontinued operations, Adjusted Income from discontinued operations, and Adjusted Diluted EPS from discontinued operations are not substitutes for the U.S. GAAP measures of net income and net income per diluted share or for any other U.S. GAAP measures of operating performance. It should be noted that other companies may present similarly titled measures differently, and therefore, as presented by us, these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA from discontinued operations, Adjusted Income from discontinued operations, and Adjusted Diluted EPS from discontinued operations have material limitations as performance measures because they exclude items that are actually incurred or experienced in connection with the operation of our business.
LOUISIANA-PACIFIC CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
The following tables set forth: (1) housing starts, (2) our North American sales volume, and (3) Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). We consider these items to be key performance indicators because LP's management uses these metrics to evaluate our business and trends, measure our performance, and make strategic decisions, and believes that the key performance indicators presented provide additional perspective and insights when analyzing the core operating performance of LP. These key performance indicators should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for or as an alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with, the U.S. GAAP financial measures presented herein. These measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled performance indicators used by other companies.
We monitor housing starts, which is a leading external indicator of residential construction in the United States that correlates with the demand for many of our products. We believe that this is a useful measure for evaluating our results and that providing this measure should allow interested persons to more readily compare our sales volume for past and future periods to an external indicator of product demand. Other companies may present housing start data differently and therefore, as presented by us, our housing start data may not be comparable to similarly-titled indicators reported by other companies.
The following table sets forth housing starts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:
We monitor sales volumes for our products in our Siding, OSB and EWP segments, which we define as the number of units of our products sold within the applicable period. Evaluating sales volume by product type helps us identify and address changes in product demand, broad market factors that may affect our performance, and opportunities for future growth. It should be noted that other companies may present sales volumes differently and, therefore, as presented by us, sales volumes may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. We believe that sales volumes can be a useful measure for evaluating and understanding our business.
The following table sets forth sales volumes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:
We measure OEE of each of our mills to track improvements in the utilization and productivity of our manufacturing assets. OEE is a composite metric that considers asset uptime (adjusted for capital project downtime and similar events), production rates, and finished product quality. It should be noted that other companies may present OEE differently and, therefore, as presented by us, OEE may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. We believe that when used in conjunction with other metrics, OEE can be a useful measure for evaluating our ability to generate profits, and that providing this measure should allow interested persons to more readily monitor operational improvements.
OEE for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 for each of our segments is listed below:

Milestone underscores CEVA's central role in the IoT era, enabling wireless connectivity and intelligence in billions of smartphones, consumer electronics, wearables, IoT endpoints and edge AI devices
ROCKVILLE, Md., Aug. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- CEVA, Inc. (NASDAQ: CEVA), the leading licensor of wireless connectivity and smart sensing technologies and co-creation solutions, announced today that cumulative royalty-bearing chip shipments that include CEVA IP surpassed 15 billion units during the second quarter. This significant milestone has been achieved as CEVA approaches it's 20-year anniversary of being a public company. While the first 10 billion CEVA-powered shipments spanned more than 15 years, the next 5 billion shipments took less than three and a half years.
The incredible rapid adoption rate of CEVA's IP in the IoT era is a testament to the company's role in the democratization of wireless connectivity, through the broad licensing of its 5G, cellular IoT, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and UWB platform IP to hundreds of semiconductors and OEMs. This effectively lowered the entry barriers for embedding wireless connectivity in SoCs, enabling companies to design more cost-effective and power-efficient chips that led to the proliferation of wirelessly-connected devices that we take for granted today. These devices include smartphones, wearables, hearables, wireless speakers, smart home appliances, white goods, plugs, lights and many more.
Gideon Wertheizer, CEO of CEVA, stated: "Surpassing the 15 billion CEVA-powered chip shipment milestone is a very noteworthy accomplishment for CEVA and its customers. The steep shipment ramp we have experienced over the past 3 years directly coincides with the explosion of IoT devices, where almost every electronic device that ships today is connected. We have been developing and investing in wireless technologies for two decades, and today CEVA is proud to be at the forefront of wireless connectivity in the IoT era. Going forward, as devices become increasingly smarter, integrating more sensors and intelligence, our sensing technologies and edge AI platforms are primed to build on our wireless success. We are excited and invigorated by what's next for CEVA as the adoption of our technologies continues to grow and we reach new heights."

Ukraine: Shelling hits town near Russian-held nuclear plant
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — At least three Ukrainian civilians were killed and 23 others were wounded by Russian shelling in 24 hours, including an attack not far from a Russian-occupied nuclear power plant, the office of Ukraine’s president reported Tuesday.
The Russians fired over 120 rockets from Grad multiple rocket launchers at the southern town of Nikopol, which is across the Dnieper River from the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, Dnipropetrovsk Gov. Valentyn Reznichenko said. Several apartment buildings and industrial facilities were damaged, he said.
Ukraine and Russia accused each other in recent days of shelling the nuclear plant, which is the largest one in Europe, and increasing the risks of a nuclear accident.
In his nightly video address, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy invoked the 1986 disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear plant in Ukraine, which at the time was a Soviet republic. He called for new sanctions against Russia “for creating the threat” of another nuclear disaster.
“We are actively informing the world about Russian nuclear blackmail - about the shelling and mining of the Zaporizhzhia NPP facilities,” Zelenskyy said. “Russia will not pay attention to words and concerns. ... The Chernobyl disaster is an explosion in one reactor; the Zaporizhzhia NPP is six power units.”
The Kremlin claimed Monday that Ukraine’s military was attacking the plant and urged Western powers to force Kyiv to stop the activity.
A Russian-installed official in the partially occupied Zaporizhzhia region said an air defense system at the plant would be reinforced in the aftermath of last week’s shelling. Evgeny Balitsky, the head of the Kremlin-backed administration, told Russian state TV Tuesday that power lines and damaged blocks of the plant were restored.
“The plant is operating normally, but, of course, with an increased degree of security,” Balitsky said.
A Ukrainian counteroffensive and Russian defensive actions in occupied areas has increasingly drawn firepower to southern Ukraine.
After failing to capture Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, early in the war, the Russian military focused its strength on trying to seize all of the country’s eastern Donbas region. Pro-Moscow separatists have fought Ukrainian forces in the region for eight years and control some territory as self-proclaimed republics.
The British Defense Ministry said Tuesday that Russian forces had made the most progress in the past month in moving toward the town of Bakhmut - an advance limited to about 10 kilometers (6.2 miles).
“In other Donbas sectors where Russia was attempting to break through, its forces have not gained more than 3 km during this 30-day period; almost certainly significantly less than planned,” the U.K. ministry said.
However, the ministry cautioned that despite the attention required in southern Ukraine, Russia had maintained attacks on Ukrainian positions in the east.
The governor of eastern Ukraine’s Donetsk province, Pavlo Kyrylenko, said the Russians were trying to press their offensive in several areas. Kharkiv, the country’s second-largest city, came under the Russian shelling four times over the past 24 hours, and some city infrastructure was damaged.

Per our earlier article on A Merger & Acquisition Leader’s Playbook For Success, avoid the traps of 1) poor strategic focus, 2) poor cultural integration and/or 3) poor delivery of synergies by leveraging the full playbook and its seven sub-playbooks: Strategic, commercial, operational, financial, governance, organizational, change management.
This article focuses on The Organizational Playbook and its components of culture, incentives, leadership, people, and politics.
Organizational Culture
Choose the behaviors, relationships, attitudes, values, and environment that will make up your new culture. Invite people into the new culture, noting who accepts your invitation in what they say, do, and believe.
Given enough time and money, your competitors can duplicate almost everything you’ve got working for you. They can hire away some of your best people. They can reverse engineer your processes. They can match your service levels. Even innovation, unless embedded in the culture, can be matched. The only thing they can’t duplicate is your culture.
In sustainable, championship cultures, behaviors (the way we do things here) are inextricably linked to relationships, informed by attitudes, built on a rock-solid base of values, and completely appropriate for the environment in which the organization chooses to operate. As Simon Sinek famously pointed out, most organizations think what–how–why. Great leaders and great organizations start with why (environment and values), then look at how (attitudes and relationships) before getting to what (behaviors).
It’s the context that makes it so hard to duplicate a championship culture. Because every organization’s environment is different, matching someone else’s behaviors, relationships, attitudes, and values will not produce the same culture.
Organizational Incentives
Michael Brown’s ABCs of behavior modification provide a framework worth following. ABC stands for antecedent, behavior, consequence. People do things because an antecedent prompts that behavior. They do it again because of the balance of consequences: rewarding or punishing desirable or undesirable behavior with various forms of incentives and disincentives.
It’s often hard to modify existing patterns of behavior because those habits have been reinforced by a poor balance of consequences. It’s almost guaranteed that people in your organization who persist in doing things you don’t want them to do are having their behavior positively reinforced.
If, as an example, employees habitually show up late for meetings, that behavior is likely positively reinforced by avoiding the negative consequence of wasting time for the few that do show up on time.
If you want to change undesirable behavior habits, change the balance of consequences. Make sure you are:
- Positively reinforcing desired behavior
- Discouraging undesirable behavior
If you are not doing this, then change the way you:
- Positively reinforce undesirable behavior
- Discouraging desired behavior
Organizational Leadership
The only thing you can do all by yourself is fail. Successful mergers and acquisitions require an interdependent team with its members all paddling in the same direction.
Select “new” management team members based on the alignment of their motivations, strengths, and personal preferences with your vision for the new combined entity.
There are only three job interview questions. In the vast majority of cases each of the candidates for your leadership team has the strengths required to do the job. And while the main reason people fail in new leadership roles is poor fit, that’s relatively difficult to assess up front. This leaves motivation as the most important criteria for selection. Be ready to probe all three interview questions, but lead with motivation
People Organization
When it comes to sorting people and roles on your team, work with a short-term, mid-term, and a long-term framework. Initially, determine whether any short-term moves should be made before or at the start, and any mid-term moves should be made in the first 100 days. Then, continue to develop teams over time.
Organizational Politics
Can we talk about politics? Do we have to talk about politics? Politics is inevitable in any organization of more than one person. Even if you’d like to pretend your organization is politics-free, it isn’t. Even if you’d like to ignore the politics and get on with the real work, you can’t. On the other hand, those who make playing politics their first priority often fail to get beyond it.

Companies combine key capabilities to advance flow cytometry as an essential companion diagnostic modality for cancer and other diseases
FRANKLIN LAKES, N.J., Aug. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) (NYSE: BDX), a leading global medical technology company, today announced a collaboration agreement with Labcorp (NYSE: LH), a leading global life sciences company, creating a framework to develop, manufacture, market and commercialize flow cytometry-based companion diagnostics (CDx) intended to match patients with life-changing treatments for cancer and other diseases.
The agreement creates a framework for BD and Labcorp Drug Development to collaborate on flow cytometry-based CDx opportunities with pharmaceutical partners. The two companies bring together capabilities that comprise an end-to-end solution for CDx development for the pharmaceutical industry. Their joint offering ranges from exploratory panel development to U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of diagnostic and IVD kit manufacturing and distribution.
"Flow cytometry is a trusted and powerful tool for analyzing cells to better understand disease, and it has tremendous untapped potential as a companion diagnostic in oncology and other therapeutic areas," said Dr. Bill Hanlon, chief scientific officer of Labcorp Drug Development. "This strategic collaboration with BD, a pioneer and global leader in flow cytometry, is an exciting step toward increasing adoption and ultimately bringing innovative new companion diagnostics to market to help identify patients who could benefit most from appropriate treatments."
Selecting the optimal first-line therapy for patients with cancer by using companion diagnostics can be critical to ensuring the best outcomes and time and cost savings. Today's companion diagnostic tests commonly involve technologies such as immunohistochemistry (IHC), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), polymerase chain reaction (PCR), next-generation sequencing (NGS) and imaging. Flow cytometry is an emerging technology in the field.
"In the companion diagnostic landscape, there is a clear and urgent need for high sensitivity and multiplexing capabilities, and that is where flow cytometry can help," said Puneet Sarin, president of BD Biosciences. "BD and our dedicated CDx team are uniquely positioned to advance flow cytometry as a companion diagnostic tool, and we are pleased to join forces with Labcorp, a trusted global leader in diagnostic testing and drug development, to pursue opportunities with the pharmaceutical industry to develop new companion diagnostics that can potentially improve patient outcomes and drive us forward in advancing the world of health."

NEW YORK, Aug. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- ShardSecure, inventor of the innovative MicroshardTM technology that mitigates data security and privacy risks in the cloud, will be exhibiting at Black Hat 2022, the leading information security event, from August 6 to 11 in Las Vegas, Nevada. While at Black Hat, ShardSecure will showcase their patented microsharding solution at Booth #30 in the Business Hall's Innovation City.
During the conference, ShardSecure will demonstrate how microsharding renders sensitive data unintelligible in the wrong hands, offering crucial protection in multi-cloud and hybrid-cloud environments. ShardSecure Lead Developer Anthony Whitehead will present "Microsharding, an Alternative to Encryption for Data at Rest" from 2:25 to 2:45 p.m. PT on August 10 in the Business Hall, Theater C. Additionally, VP of Marketing Marc Blackmer will be interviewed on microsharding and encryption by Chuck Harold of SecurityGuyTV at 9:20 a.m. PT on August 11.
"We're looking forward to making new connections and sharing how we can help organizations strengthen their data resilience, maintain business continuity, and mitigate the impact of ransomware," said Marc Blackmer. "Black Hat is an excellent opportunity for ShardSecure to participate in key industry conversations, strengthen our brand, and grow our networking opportunities."
Microshard technology works to desensitize sensitive data by digitally shredding it into tiny microshards. Those microshards are then mixed with poison data and distributed to multiple customer-owned storage locations of the customer's choosing. Its self-healing data also reverses unauthorized data deletion and tampering — including ransomware — for data at rest.
Through its ability to reconstruct data impacted by storage service outages, ShardSecure also helps protect against the effects of data loss and allows business operations to continue unaffected during an outage.
"We're pleased to be sharing Microshard technology with a wide audience of thought leaders and vendors at Black Hat," said Bob Lam, CEO and Co-Founder of ShardSecure. "Combined with several new partnerships and our recent availability in Azure Marketplace, Black Hat is allowing us to reach more organizations with our innovative data security and data resilience solution. We look forward to continuing the discussion about how we can help organizations maintain control of their sensitive data in the cloud while protecting it from outages and attacks."

- Consolidated Revenue Increased 18% Year-Over-Year to $82.9 Million
- Canadian Cannabis Business Net Sales Increased 20% Year-Over-Year and 37% Sequentially to Quarterly New Record
- Pure Sunfarms Remains Best-Selling Dried Flower Brand in Canada*
- Rose LifeScience Became the Number Three Licensed Producer in Quebec**
VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Village Farms International, Inc. ("Village Farms" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: VFF) (TSX: VFF) today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022. All figures are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.
"The continued successful execution of our differentiated Canadian Cannabis strategy drove strong year-over-year and sequential sales growth, achieving a new record high for the second quarter, as well as our 15th consecutive quarter of positive EBITDA for that business," said Michael DeGiglio, Chief Executive Officer, Village Farms. "Our Pure Sunfarms brand maintained its number one market share position in dried flower in Canada*, while Rose LifeScience became a top-three licensed producer in Quebec, with an 8.5% market share**, in part driven by its Promenade brand in collaboration with Pure Sunfarms. Importantly, our planned investments in our commercial capabilities, including sales support and marketing, strain development and other innovation, new brands and geographical expansion over the past 18 months to drive both near- and long-term growth are beginning to yield their intended results. We are also seeing the benefits of the evolution of our strategy for non-branded, with larger, more regular sales to a smaller number of repeat customers, which has been complemented by steady growth in exports, having recently completed our sixth shipment to Australia."
"We continue to expect the second half of 2022 to trend favourably for our Canadian Cannabis business, as we launch new SKUs, including new strains, across our brands into a market that continues to exhibit robust growth. In addition, the roll out of the Original Fraser Valley Weed Co. brand will enable us to address a considerable portion of the Canadian market that we previously did not. We also expect to increasingly benefit from integrating Pure Sunfarms and Rose to realize the significant synergistic opportunities that can take Village Farms' Canadian Cannabis business to the next level."
"In our U.S. Cannabis business, Balanced Health Botanicals and CBDistillery® brand continues to perform well amidst a broader U.S. cannabinoid market that continues to be challenged by lack of regulatory clarity, resulting in confusion at the consumer level. Balanced Health is an integral part of our long-term US Cannabis strategy, as a well-established, profitable business, with top brand awareness, and an established e-commerce platform and retail channels that provides another potential pathway to participate in the high-THC cannabis market in the U.S. when we are able."
"Internationally, we continue to progress steadily on multiple new opportunities in selected target markets. Having received EU GMP certification, our Canadian Cannabis operations are finalizing details with partners with shipments expected to commence in the coming months. Separately today, we announced our ownership of 85% of Leli Holland, which has been was awarded the tenth and final cultivation license granted under the Closed Cannabis Supply Chain Experiment in the Netherlands. As a result, we will directly participate in what will be the first major European market to permit large-scale cannabis cultivation and distribution for recreational purposes, while strongly positioning our Company for success in other European markets as they legalize."
"In our Village Farms Fresh produce business, as anticipated we continued to be challenged by cost inflation across our operations, with significant year-over-year increases in most categories, including fertilizer and other inputs, packaging, freight and labor costs, which has been exacerbated by the continued impact of the Brown Rugose virus that has impacted the global tomato industry. To date, we have not been able to pass these cost increases on to customers due to the continued oversupply in each of the tomato, cucumber and pepper markets. With the goal of optimizing profitability for Village Farms Fresh, we have initiated an intensive operational review of our operations. We believe strongly in the potential of these operations, especially for their optionality and considerably greater value as part of our cannabis strategy in a national or Texas state legal cannabis market in which we can participate."
(All comparable periods are for Second Quarter 2021)

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus a global pandemic. This outbreak continues to cause major disruptions to businesses and markets worldwide as the virus continues to spread. Several countries as well as certain states and cities within the United States and Canada have enacted temporary closures of businesses, issued quarantine or shelter-in-place orders and taken other restrictive measures. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company implemented safety protocols and procedures to protect its employees, its subcontractors, and its customers. These protocols take into consideration guidance from state and local government agencies as well as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other public health authorities.
As of August 9, 2022, all of the Company's operations are operating normally, however, the extent to which COVID-19 and the related global economic crisis affect the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition, will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and any recovery period, future actions taken by governmental authorities, central banks and other third parties (including new financial regulation and other regulatory reform) in response to the pandemic, and the effects on our produce, clients, vendors and employees. Village Farms continues to service its customers amid uncertainty and disruption linked to COVID-19 and is actively managing its business to respond to the impact.

How did the criminal organization operate in “Operation Cattleya”?
The criminal organization that is being accused by the Specialized Prosecutor’s Office Against Illicit Smuggling of Migrants and Human Trafficking (PETT), under the Operation Cattleyabegan its operations abroad and culminated profiting in the country as a result of the esexual exploitation of dozens of women.
Within the file requesting coercive measures against the accusedthe Public Ministry explained how this criminal organization operated.
Everything began, according to the Public Ministry, in the month of December 2021, when the reception, transportation and reception of Colombian and Venezuelan women with “vulnerable” status.
The women, who according to the file, were “poor or in need” were approached by a person from the criminal network who offered them better living conditions in the Dominican Republic, working as “waitresses” in bars or restaurants.
After having their approval, the network paid for the issuance of the passport, air ticket, lodging and food, but once they arrived in the Dominican Republic they were required to pay off that “debt” that amounted between 3,000 to 4,000 dollars.
Having no way to pay, the network required women to have sexual relations with clients in order to pay off the debt incurred and, if they refused, they were threatened with harm to their relatives, deportation or other psychological attacks.
However, the “debt” was constantly increasing, alleging lodging and food expenses, with all the money collected by the network destined to “cover the debt”.
“Price” and customers
The victims of the network were offered to clients at a price per hour between RD$5,000 to 7,000 in the Santo Domingo area, and between 100 and 150 dollars in Punta Cana.
Regarding the clients, these were captured by the organization, who were shown catalogs generated with images of the women who were exhibited.
The victims stayed and received their clients at the Hotel Caribein Santo Domingo, or in the Residencial Coco Real, located in Bávaro, Punta Cana. However, personnel from the organization also transported the victims to their destinations.
Another detail offered by the file is that the women had no freedom of action, nor “free time”. They had to stay in their places of lodging and be available for a client to request them.
Similarly, female victims were forced to use controlled substances whose cost was also added to the “debt”, | https://d1softballnews.com/how-did-the-criminal-organization-operate-in-operation-cattleya/ | 2022-08-09T11:47:56Z | https://d1softballnews.com/how-did-the-criminal-organization-operate-in-operation-cattleya/ | true |

BEIRUT (AP) — The leader of Lebanon’s militant Hezbollah group issued a warning Tuesday to archenemy Israel over the two countries’ maritime border dispute, saying that “any arm” that reaches to steal Lebanon’s wealth “will be cut off.”
Hassan Nasrallah's remarks came amid intensified U.S. efforts to resolve a more than a decade-old maritime border dispute between Israel and Lebanon, which have officially been at war since Israel’s creation in 1948.
Both countries claim some 860 square kilometers (330 square miles) of the Mediterranean Sea. Lebanon also claims that the Karish gas field is in disputed territory under ongoing maritime border negotiations while Israel says it lies within its internationally recognized economic waters.
Amos Hochstein, a senior adviser for energy security at the U.S. State Department who has been mediating in the dispute, met with top Lebanese officials last week. After the talks, he said the two countries are getting closer to reaching a deal in the dispute.
Hochstein was later reported to have visited Israel and is expected back in Beirut in the coming weeks with Israeli responses to Lebanese requests.
Israel and Hezbollah are bitter enemies that fought a monthlong war in the summer of 2006. Israel considers the Iran-backed Shiite militant group its most serious immediate threat, estimating that Hezbollah has some 150,000 rockets and missiles aimed at Israel.
In his speech during a rally south of Beirut, attended by tens of thousands to mark Ashoura, Nasrallah said Lebanon “should be ready to all possibilities."
“We will not tolerate the idea that our wealth be stolen,” Nasrallah said.
Ashoura is one of the most important days on the Shiites religious calendar, commemorating the 7th century martyrdom of the Prophet Muhammad’s grandson Hussein.
Lebanon badly needs an agreement over the maritime border in the Mediterranean as it hopes to exploit offshore gas reserves to try and alleviate what has become the worst economic crisis in its modern history.
Last month, the Israeli military shot down three unarmed Hezbollah drones flying over the Karish field. Lebanon’s Prime Minister Najib Mikati at the time criticized Hezbollah, saying the move could pose risks to the country. Hezbollah later aired drone footage showing Israeli ships in the area.
“Don’t make mistakes with Lebanon nor with the people of Lebanon,” Nasrallah said. “Any arm that tries to reach for any of this (Lebanese) wealth will be cut off.”
Nasrallah also warned Israel not to target any Palestinian officials in Lebanon amid a cease-fire that ended three days of deadly fighting between Israel and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad militant group in the Gaza Strip. The Islamic Jihad group, along with the much larger Hamas militant group that runs Gaza, is a Hezbollah ally. | https://www.mrt.com/news/article/Hezbollah-warns-Israel-over-border-dispute-with-17361043.php | 2022-08-09T11:49:17Z | https://www.mrt.com/news/article/Hezbollah-warns-Israel-over-border-dispute-with-17361043.php | true |
ALPHARETTA, Ga., Aug. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Avanos Medical, Inc. (NYSE: AVNS) today reported second quarter 2022 financial results.
"Despite ongoing raw material availability and associated supply chain disruptions, underlying demand for our products remains strong," said Joe Woody, Avanos' Chief Executive Officer. Woody continued, "We delivered on expansion of our gross and operating margin, and generated meaningful free cash flow in a tough environment inclusive of inflationary and foreign currency headwinds. We anticipate strong results for the full year despite continued macroeconomic and supply chain challenges."
Second Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights
- Net sales totaled $203 million, a 9 percent increase from the comparable prior year period.
- Gross margin for the quarter improved 1,100 basis points compared to the prior year period and adjusted gross margin improved 800 basis points compared to the prior year period.
- Net income for the quarter was $11 million, compared to $38 million a year ago.
- Adjusted net income totaled $19 million, compared to $10 million a year ago.
- Diluted earnings per share was $0.24, compared to $0.78 per share a year ago.
- Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.41, compared to $0.21 a year ago.
- Free cash flow for the quarter was $23 million, compared to $10 million a year ago.
Operational and Business Highlights
- During the second quarter, we entered into a credit agreement that established credit facilities in an aggregate principal amount of $500 million, consisting of a five-year senior secured term loan of $125 million and a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility allowing borrowings of up to $375 million, with a letter of credit subfacility in an amount of $75 million.
- At the American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians meeting in May, data from our recent sponsored trial comparing cooled radiofrequency ablation to standard medical management for sacroiliac joint pain was accepted for a podium presentation. This data was ranked as one of the top 11 abstracts submitted to this conference, highlighting the impact of this data in the pain management field.
- Our hyaluronic acid (HA) offerings through OrthogenRx posted strong sales in the second quarter, with a rapid adoption of TriVisc, our 3-injection HA regimen, beginning in June. With our reimbursement position, we will continue to see favorability in TriVisc that is capturing share from the 1- and 5-injection segments with account transitions and new account acquisitions.
Second Quarter 2022 Operating Results
For the three months ended June 30, 2022, net sales totaled $203 million, an increase of 9 percent compared to the prior year period, primarily due to incremental revenue from the acquisition of OrthogenRx. In addition to volume, 1 percent of favorable pricing was offset by 2 percent of unfavorable foreign currency translation effects.
Gross margin was 57 percent, compared to 46 percent in the prior year period. Adjusted gross margin was 59 percent, compared to 51 percent last year. Gross profit margin improved primarily due to favorable product mix, as well as slightly improved manufacturing efficiencies that were partially offset by higher costs across our supply chain.
Selling and general expenses as a percentage of net sales was 43 percent for the second quarter of 2022, compared to 46 percent for the first quarter of 2022.
Operating profit was $19 million compared to a $7 million operating loss in the prior year period, primarily due to the improved gross margin previously noted as well as lower legal expenses. On an adjusted basis, operating profit totaled $28 million, compared to $15 million a year ago.
Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter was $33 million, compared to $20 million in the prior year period.
First Six Months 2022 Operating Results
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, net sales were $400 million, an increase of 9 percent compared to the prior year period. Digestive health products experienced strong demand and volume, which was offset by decreased demand and volume in respiratory health products. In addition to volume, 1 percent of favorable pricing was offset by 1 percent of unfavorable foreign currency translation effects.
Gross margin was 55 percent, compared to 48 percent last year. Adjusted gross margin was 57 percent compared to 52 percent last year and was impacted by the same items noted above for the second quarter.
Operating profit was $28 million, compared to operating loss of $20 million in the prior year period, primarily due to the improved gross margin previously noted as well as lower legal expenses, partially offset by higher selling and general expenses. On an adjusted basis, operating profit was $46 million compared to $31 million a year ago.
Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $57 million compared to $42 million in the prior year period.
Cash Flow and Balance Sheet
Cash from operations less capital expenditures, or free cash flow, for the second quarter was $23 million, compared to $10 million a year ago. The company's cash balance at June 30, 2022 was $107 million, compared to $119 million at year-end 2021.
Total long-term debt outstanding was $254 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $130 million at December 31, 2021. In the first quarter of 2022, the company borrowed $125 million in conjunction with closing the acquisition of OrthogenRx.
Full-Year 2022 Outlook
The company is modifying its guidance for 2022 net sales to between $815 million and $835 million, which assumes organic growth between 1 percent to 4 percent. Additionally, we are confirming gross profit margins to be between 55 percent to 57 percent, with adjusted diluted earnings per share between $1.45 and $1.65.
Each of these measures is inclusive of the impact of the OrthogenRx acquisition and reflects our expectation that supply chain headwinds related to both product availability and inflationary pressures will continue throughout the year.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release and the accompanying tables include the following financial measures that have not been calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., or GAAP, and are therefore referred to as non-GAAP financial measures:
- Adjusted net income
- Adjusted diluted earnings per share
- Adjusted gross and operating profit
- Adjusted effective tax rate
- Adjusted EBITDA
- Free cash flow
These non-GAAP financial measures exclude the following items, as applicable, for the relevant time periods as indicated in the accompanying non-GAAP reconciliations to the comparable GAAP financial measures:
- Expenses associated with restructuring activities.
- Expenses associated with post divestiture transition activities.
- Certain acquisition and integration charges related to acquisitions.
- Expenses associated with European Union Medical Device Regulation ("EU MDR") compliance.
- Expenses associated with certain litigation matters.
- The amortization of intangible assets associated with prior business acquisitions.
- Loss on extinguishment of debt.
- The tax effects of certain adjusting items.
- The benefit associated with the tax effects of the CARES Act.
- The positive or negative effect of changes in currency exchange rates during the year.
The company provides these non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental information to its GAAP financial measures. Management and the company's Board of Directors use net sales on a constant currency basis, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted operating profit, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow to: (a) evaluate the company's historical and prospective financial performance and its performance relative to its competitors, (b) allocate resources and (c) measure the operational performance of the company's business units and their managers. Management also believes that the use of an adjusted effective tax rate provides improved insight into the tax effects of the company's ongoing business operations.
Additionally, the Compensation Committee of the company's Board of Directors will use certain of the non-GAAP financial measures when setting and assessing achievement of incentive compensation goals. These goals are based, in part, on the company's net sales on a constant currency basis and adjusted EBITDA, which will be determined by excluding certain items that are used in calculating these non-GAAP financial measures.
Our competitors may define these non-GAAP financial measures differently, and as a result, our measure of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be directly comparable to those of other companies. Items excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental measures of operating performance that do not represent, and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or substitute for, the financial statement data presented in the company's consolidated financial statements as indicators of financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of the company's results as reported under GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using these non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental information.
Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the attached financial tables.

CALGARY, AB, Aug. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Frontera Energy Corporation (TSX: FEC) ("Frontera" or the "Company") announces the preliminary results of its substantial issuer bid (the "Offer") pursuant to which the Company offered to purchase from shareholders for cancellation up to CAD $65 million (equivalent to US$50 million) of its outstanding common shares (the "Shares"). The Offer proceeded by way of a "modified Dutch auction" procedure with a tender price range from $11.00 to $13.00 per Share. The Offer, as amended by the notice of variation dated July 25, 2022 (the "Notice of Variation"), expired at 11:59 p.m. (Eastern time) on August 8, 2022. All dollar amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise specified.
Gabriel de Alba, Frontera's Chairman of the Board Commented:
"I am very pleased with the preliminary results of Frontera's oversubscribed Offer. Frontera continues to deliver on its commitment to return value to shareholders. The Company looks forward to completing the Offer in the coming days and anticipates recommencing share repurchases under its NCIB on August 10, 2022."
In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Offer and based on the preliminary calculation of Computershare Investor Services Inc., as depositary for the Offer (the "Depositary"), Frontera expects to take up and pay for approximately 5.42 million Shares (approximately 5.84% of the total number of Frontera's issued and outstanding Shares as of June 30, 2022) at a price of $12.00 per Share (the "Purchase Price"), representing an aggregate Purchase Price of approximately CAD $65 million. After the cancellation of the Shares taken up and paid for by the Company, Frontera anticipates that approximately 87.26 million Shares will be issued and outstanding.
Approximately 6.51 million Shares were validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to auction tenders at or below the Purchase Price and pursuant to purchase price tenders and proportionate tenders. Since the Offer was oversubscribed, shareholders who made auction tenders at or below the Purchase Price and shareholders who made, or were deemed to have made, purchase price tenders will have the number of Shares purchased prorated following the determination of the final results of the Offer (other than "odd lot" tenders, which are not subject to proration).
Frontera currently expects that shareholders who made auction tenders at or below the Purchase Price and shareholders who made, or were deemed to have made, purchase price tenders will have approximately 83.3% of their tendered Shares purchased by the Company.

SOFTS-White sugar prices ease, coffee and cocoa climb
Updates with closing prices and comments
NEW YORK/LONDON, Aug 8 (Reuters) - White sugar futures on ICE closed lower on Monday in a modest setback after a recent strong advance, although the market remained underpinned by concerns that hot, dry weather in the European Union and Britain could curb production.
SUGAR
* October white sugar LSUc1 fell $5.80, or 1.1%, at $545.10 a tonne after rising to a peak of $554.90 in early trade - the highest level in nearly three weeks.
* Dealers said the market's recent rally, which has seen prices rising by nearly 10% in the last two weeks, has finally begun to meet resistance and prices may be set to consolidate in the short-term.
* Czarnikow said that the European Union plus Britain was expected to produce around 16.4 million tonnes of sugar in the upcoming 2022/23 crop, down about 1 million tonnes from the previous year.
"If there aren't meaningful rains in the next few weeks, it is likely that our production forecast will have to be lowered further," the report said.
* October raw sugar SBc1closed little changed at 17.96 cents per lb.
* Forecasted ample rains in Brazil's center-south should provide much needed moisture for cane development.
COFFEE
* September arabica coffee KCc1 settled up 2.4 cents, or 1.1%, at $2.1185 per lb as the market continued to be supported by falling stocks.
* ICE certified arabica stocks fell more than 30,000 bags on Monday to 630,304 bags, the lowest in more than 20 years.
* A cold front will reach coffee producing areas in Brazil in coming days, but the chance of frosts is very low.
* November robusta coffee LRCc2 rose $32, or 1.6%, at $2,074 a tonne.
* Vietnam's coffee exports in July were down 17.1% from June at 113,852 tonnes.
COCOA
* December London cocoa LCCc2settled up 12 pounds, or 0.7%, to 1,784 pounds per tonne.
* Good soil moisture content in Ivory Coast's cocoa regions is helping pods develop well on trees, making for a strong start for the October-to-March main crop despite below-average rains in most areas.
* December New York cocoa CCc2 rose $39, or 1.7%, to $2,380 a tonne.
